Harry Jerome Public Consultation The Harry Jerome Recreation Complex has served City residents well for many years, and consists primarily of the Harry Jerome, Memorial, and Mickey McDougall recreation centres. Due to the age of the buildings, maintenance costs have increased and the facilities are less able to meet the changing needs of the community. The City is seeking public input into redevelopment options for the future Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre and adjacent public lands. Public input opportunities begin November 9th with a public opinion survey. Other opportunities include presentations, Open Houses and a Town Hall Meeting. For complete details, visit www.cnv.org. The public input process is scheduled to conclude on November 30. Sustainable City Award The inaugural 'Sustainable City Award' has been presented to the Loutet Urban Farm. This City Award acknowledges projects and initiatives that exhibit excellence in all three areas of social, economic and environmental sustainability in an integrated manner. Loutet Farm achieves this through the local production of low carbon food that is healthy, builds community and supports a working farm. The Award is granted annually through the City’s Advisory Planning Commission. For more information about Loutet Farm and the Sustainable City Award, visit www.cnv.org/SustainableCityAward.

When Terry Roberge started a trucking company in North Vancouver he had just one vehicle and one driver — him-

self. That was more than three decades ago. Today, Roberge Trucking has a fleet of

12-plus trucks, including several dump trucks that haul topsoil, bark mulch, sand, gravel and

other products throughout the Lower Mainland to landscapers, contractors and residential customers.

Located at the foot of Pemberton Avenue, Roberge Trucking, which also has a yard that supplies construction and garden materials, employs around 13 people, most of whom are truck driv-

ers.“He’s built it up,” says

Terry’s sister Carol, who joined Terry’s company after he purchased his sec-ond truck and works as the office manager.

Roberge Trucking isn’t the only company that’s moving goods and generat-ing jobs across the prov-ince.

According to Statistics Canada, truck trans-portation in 2006 was a $1.67-billion industry in B.C., not including pri-vate trucks transporting goods for such companies as Neptune Food Services or Canadian Tire.

Between 1997 and 2006, the industry grew by 42.2 per cent, at an average rate of about four per cent per year. The growth rate of all other B.C. industries combined was less than three per cent.

About 23,000 registered truck-ing companies in B.C. move goods 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. In 2005, trucks transported 66.7 million shipments, carrying 6.15 billion tons of cargo.

And the industry continues to grow. Trucks haul the vast majority of consumer goods and foods across Canada and it’s expected that close to 375,000 new drivers will be needed in this country over the next decade.

But professional drivers aren’t the only ones in demand. There are other related positions, like mechanics and dispatchers and sales, that offer great career opportunities.

“It’s interesting. You never know where you have to go: Deep Cove, Lions Bay, North Van, White Rock,” says driver Steve Hole, who has worked at Roberge Trucking for 24 years.

N. Shore leads B.C. in fall injuries Safety council meeting looks at dealing with high-risk behaviour

TODD COYNES T a f f R e p O R T e R

With some of the country’s lowest infant mortality rates and highest life expectancies, it’s what North

Shore residents are doing with their time in between that has local health profes-sionals shaking their heads.

According to Vancouver Coastal Health, the North Shore suffers the province’s highest rate of hospitalization from falls, both at home and recreation related.

“It’s higher than in any other health authority across the province,” said VCH active living coordinator JoAnne Burleigh at the North Shore Safety Council AGM last week.

The topic of the Nov. 1 meeting was ‘dealing with risk-taking behaviour,’ par-ticularly among young people, and the keynote presentation was delivered by Lions Gate Hospital emergency physician and medical consultant for mass gather-ing events, Dr. Sam Gutman.

“The North Shore experience is vastly different from the other hospitals in the Lower Mainland,” Gutman said. “I know the weather when I’m on a shift — and if you’ve been to Lions Gate you know there’s no windows in the emergency [room] — but I know the weather based on what’s coming in the door. So, I know when there’s ice on Grouse Mountain; I know when it’s freezing rain.”

And it’s not just during the winter months that people on the North Shore

are the most accident prone. Gutman joked that his favourite time

of year, despite the weather, tends to be from October to November because of the brief lull in injuries it affords as people who live and recreate on the North Shore transition from one high-risk sport to another.

“It’s the only two-month period when it’s quiet. There’s less mountain biking, there’s no snowboarding. The number of risk behaviours drops precipitously and we actually see it in our volumes of patients,” Gutman said.

“But I know that by the third weekend of November, I’m going to start seeing broken wrists and concussions from the slopes and I know that probably around March or April I’m going to start seeing mountain bike injuries.”

From the latter category, Gutman said 53 per cent of mountain bike injuries hap-pen to those 20-39 years old, with 81 per cent of injuries occurring in males.

Young men are especially hardwired hardwired to take risks and put them-selves in danger, Gutman said, comparing a young man’s compulsion towards care-less behaviour with an addiction to drugs or gambling.

“Physiologically they are impelled to do this. It’s not even a choice situation,” Gutman told the health-and-safety gath-ering.

“It’s evolutionarily adaptive,” he con-tinued. “When the young male is doing preening behaviour or trying to attract a mate or trying to survive to procreate the next generation, being able to go out and attack that tiger is an adaptive thing. And the ones who aren’t very good at

A message from the public school teachers of North and West Vancouver.

On Remembrance Day, teachers and students remember those

who are serving and those who have served.

Honouring sacrifice in war.Teaching for peace in the future.

poem by David Mace


Sporting sleuthFor his Instant Replay column, Len Corben is part detective, part sportswriter

He’s a sports history sleuth who relentlessly tracks down eyewit-nesses and clues from the past so

he can retell colourful tales about the “great events and the quirky” that hap-pened decades ago — or even longer — on the North Shore.

This week’s installment of Len Corben’s Instant Replay column will be his 470th column in The Outlook — and for each one the story behind getting the story is often a story in itself.

With his neatly combed grey hair, but-ton-down collar and amiable personality, Corben comes across as a mild-mannered, sports-loving retired school teacher — which he is. But when it comes to his researching and writing columns he’s got another side.

“Yeah, very tena-cious. Research — I love research,” says Corben.

“I spend hours and hours on research and writing [and] trying to find pictures.”

How much time does he spend on each column?

“No idea. In fact, I wouldn’t want Mayvis [his wife] to know,” he says, with a grin.

Sitting inside his office located on the second storey of his Upper Lonsdale home, Corben is literally engulfed in his work.

A long bookshelf that takes up an entire wall is filled with media guides, yearbooks, record books, directories, programs, souvenir baseballs and bats, bobble heads and sports team mugs and

hats. Precariously tall piles of newspapers and books fill the remainder of available space. His desk is covered by a welter of paper.

“I have a lot of books. You know I never throw anything away,” he says reaching over to pull out a copy of UBC’s alum directory from the 1990s, which he says is useful for locating people.

When I asked to interview Corben about his just-released book The Pitching Professor: The Life and Times of Ernie Kershaw and his forthcoming Play it Again! A Century PLUS of North Shore Sports Stories, I requested that we meet in his office. He flashed a smile that suggested a surprise awaited.

“I think I may be able to fit a second chair in there,” he said while sitting in my office

beforehand.It fit, barely.While it may seem cramped

and chaotic to a visitor, for Corben there’s complete order.

When discussing his stint as sports editor of his high school yearbook, he leaps out of his chair, squeezes past me and quickly retrieves a stack of year-books from the shelf.

“I know where everything is. It just looks like…,” he says, the sentence trail-ing off.

His next book will feature 100 stories that previously ran in The Outlook.

He’s tried to include stories “about indi-viduals and teams, men and women,

Pipeline expansion won’t bring bigger tankers to Burrard Inlet: spokesmanTODD COYNES T a f f R e P O R T e R

If Kinder Morgan is granted approval to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton

to Burnaby, the project won’t bring bigger oil tankers to Burrard Inlet, just many more of them.

Mike Davies of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project made that promise to The Outlook Saturday at a North Vancouver public information ses-sion. It was there he was tasked with the difficult job of convincing North Vancouver residents to support a sec-ond pipeline to the inlet and a five-fold increase in tanker traffic off their shores.

The information session was one of 37 scheduled over 60 days in commu-nities along the existing 1,100-kilome-tre pipeline carrying oilsands products to the Burrard Inlet via Burnaby’s Westridge Terminal.

Currently, the Kinder Morgan ter-minal is responsible for about three per cent of all vessel traffic through Port Metro Vancouver, which amounts to eight vessels per month, including one jet-fuel barge, two crude-oil barges and five oil tankers with a maximum capacity of 650,000 barrels each.

Tankers that size are known as Aframax class vessels and, at about two and a half football fields long, these would still be the largest boats allowed to fill up at Westridge Terminal, according to Davies.

However, he said, an expanded pipe-line would mean a huge increase in the number of tankers, jumping from five to 25 per month, with the number of barges expected to stay the same.

That would mean a total 28 vessels per month filling up at the Burnaby

terminal starting in 2017, comprising about 10 per cent of all marine traffic on the inlet.

“The change is increased traffic not increased ship size, so the consequence of an accident doesn’t change,” Davies said. “But with the increased frequen-cy, that increased frequency reflects the probability [of an accident].”

However, Davies added that Kinder Morgan’s responsibility for shipping ends at the end of its Burnaby pipe.

“Our strict regulatory obligation ends after the loading process,” Davies said. “Once the ship is loaded, it’s under the Canada Shipping Act which is administered by Transport Canada.”

And once loaded to 90-per-cent capacity, the hull of an Aframax vessel sits 13.5 metres below the water sur-face, the absolute limit of safe clear-ance through the Second Narrows without risking an accident.

That risk is still what motivated many of the dozens of residents at Saturday’s information session to ask questions about the project, including Deep Cove resident Len Laycock.

“I’m absolutely anti-pipeline for all of the reasons that can be distilled down into environment and health,” Laycock told The Outlook. He said he also doesn’t believe the pipeline would bring anything positive to the region economically, but could negatively impact tourism in the event of a spill.

“There’s not a business case here,” he said. “There’s a case for a par-ticular set of businesses that want to extract the resource and benefit from it. But we’re taking risks from these pipes and we’re not even getting any rewards.”

Davies admitted the $4.1-billion Trans Mountain expansion does not specifically benefit those North Shore

residents who, along with their neigh-bours across the inlet, bear some risks in being so close to the business end of the pipe if something did go wrong. But, he said, there would be economic benefits for the country at large.

“It’s an important piece of Canadian infrastructure,” he said. “It will have some stimulus in the economy. We will generate a lot of income tax and prop-erty taxes. We won’t pay any property tax in North Van but those other spi-noffs will come.”

North Vancouver city council didn’t exactly give Davies an easier

time when he appeared before them at their Monday, Nov. 5 meeting. Coucillors Craig Keating and Pam Bookham both railed against ramp-ing up fossil fuel production at a time when, one; its negative environmental impacts are known, and two; the city council has been actively encouraging residents to cut back on their own fos-sil fuel consumption.

A report on Trans Mountain’s public consultation process is expected to be made public early next year.

However, Gutman stressed risk-taking behaviour isn’t unique to any one age group or gender, and said we should focus on channel-ling the natural risk-taking ten-dencies we all have into positive “smart risk” activities that will benefit our health over time.

Those activities, he said, can include so-called extreme sports like skateboarding, snowboarding, rock climbing and parkour, as long as participants have proper super-vision, instruction and equipment.

“In terms of chronic disease, which is the epidemic of the next 20 years, activity is the single largest modifiable factor,” he said.

“We have to make a decision as a society: Are we going to focus and invest in lifestyle or are we going down the same path that has led us to an epidemic of chronic dis-ease?”

The compelling life and tragic death of J.T. HewittThe story behind one name on the Victoria Park cenotaph in North Van

At first glance, there wouldn’t seem to be any connec-tion between a gala 1916 double wedding, boxing matches in North Van, the first passenger plane

ride in Western Canada, a pioneer Lynn Valley family, the Battle of Passchendaele, Neates Coffee, Warner Bros. Pictures, Paul Henderson’s 1972 goal and Remembrance Day 2012.

But then you don’t know the compelling life (and death) story of James Thomas “Jimmy” Hewitt Jr.

Life is full of unpredictable events. During wartime even more. So it was with the life of Jimmy Hewitt. Today you can view his name engraved in marble on the cenotaph just east of Lonsdale in Victoria Park. This is the story behind the name.

Hewitt was born in Cobourg, Ont., on July 8, 1881, to mother Sarah and father James Thomas Hewitt Sr. and grew up in Toronto. In his early 20s, Jimmy (and wife Victoria) set off for Winnipeg where he became “sporting editor” of the Winnipeg Telegram. They moved on to Vancouver in 1907 and his position as head of the sports department at The Vancouver Daily Province, a post he held until enlisting to go overseas in 1915.

As kids, Jimmy and brothers Art, Fred (later a sports editor in New Orleans, Chicago and San Francisco) and Billy (sports editor of the Toronto Star) were involved in boxing. Jimmy turned to refereeing the sport and he appeared inside the ring at the North Vancouver Club on Esplanade on several occasions.

The Vancouver World of Feb. 6, 1908, reporting on the previous evening’s card, termed the main bout a “tame 10-round scrap.” Hewitt was the referee. When it ended, he announced, “‘Gentlemen, neither of the men has done any good hitting, but [Bob] Ritchie has done all the lead-ing and he gets the decision’… The gentle criticism that the referee ventured was equally deserved.”

Tragedy hit Jimmy on July 5, 1911, when his then-28-year-old wife, described as “a young woman of much tal-

ent and [who] possessed a kind personality” died suddenly after a short illness. Few of us can imagine that situation.

Fortunes turned a bit brighter less than a year later. In those days, there was cut-throat rivalry between Vancouver’s four dailies – The World, The News-Advertiser, The Sun and The Province – so it was Hewitt’s scoop of the year when he got to be the first person in Western Canada to ride as a passenger in an airplane on April 24, 1912.

The Titanic sinking still dominated the news but The Province gave Hewitt space for a 1,522-word story detail-ing the flight from Richmond’s Minoru Park. It began, “Billy Stark, the Vancouver aviator… succeeded in accom-plishing the first passenger-carrying flight ever accom-plished in Western Canada. He carried the sporting editor of The Province with him to a height of about 600 feet and

remained in the air for about eight minutes during which he travelled about five or six miles. After this he took his pretty little wife up with him for a similar jaunt through the atmosphere. Both flights were negotiated without a hitch notwithstanding that the Curtis biplane which he used was not built for the passenger business and in spite of

the fact that a strong gust of wind was whistling across the Lulu Island flats and made the feat rather perilous for all hands.”

When the Great War escalated from its 1914 begin-nings, Jimmy, age 34 and a mere 5’3”, volunteered to join the war effort on Sept. 8, 1915, in Victoria. An item in the Toronto Star said, “He helped to organize and train ‘The Bantams,’ the brave little fellows of diminutive size whose lion-heartedness and patriotism more than made up for their deficiency in height.”

By this time he must have met 22-year-old Gwendoline Emily Neate of Lynn Valley’s influential Neate (often spelled Neat) family because he arranged to return to North Van for their wedding while on leave in 1916.

John and Mary Louise (Pywell) Neate were North Shore pioneers. John arrived in rural Lynn Valley in 1907, the year the City of North Van carved itself out of North Van District (and the very same year the

Hewitts turned up in Vancouver). In 1908, Mary came from the U.K. with the children: Ethel, Gwen, twins Lillian and John (Jack), Kathleen, Dorothea and Frank (who founded Neates Coffee in 1945 and whose grandson started JJ Bean in 1996).

The Neates built a home on Westover Road. There was no house address of course. (It became 1895 later.) Westover Road was in the boondocks. Not for long, not with the Neates, Frommes, Duvals, Westovers and others around. Soon St. Clement’s Anglican Church was being built on a lot costing $150 on what is now Church Street, officially opening on Easter, April 18, 1909, with 100 people in attendance.

The Lynn Valley Ratepayers Association was formed in February 1909 as Neate (for years a school trustee and the ratepayers’ president) helped press the BC Railway Co. to extend its car line to Lynn Valley. His day job was as a carpenter (he helped build Lynn Valley school and the original Second Narrows Bridge) and later as caretaker at the District hall.

On June 7, 1916, Lynn Valley’s wedding of the year at St. Clements joined not only Lieutenant Jimmy Hewitt and Gwen Neate but also Gwen’s younger sister Lillian and Fred Keates. The front-page story in The North Shore Press noted, “After the ceremony a recep-tion which later resolved itself into a dance was held in the Institute Hall.” The Province’s lead social-page story reported the church “was crowded to its utmost capacity… while many were unable to obtain admission.”

Tragedy was 17 months away. During the

last days of the infamous rain-sodden Battle of Passchendaele on Nov. 11, 1917, exactly one year before the Great War ended, it was reported that Jimmy was killed “while lead-ing his company in a charge.”

Gwen never remarried. A stenogra-pher at North Shore Ironworks from 1914-20 and then in 1925 and for the rest of her working life with various film compa-nies in Vancouver (including Vitagraph and Warner Bros.), she died in her sleep at Beacon Hill Lodge in West Van on June 8, 1983, 67 years and a day after that gala Lynn Valley wedding.

And you wanted to know where Paul

Henderson’s winning goal against Russia fits into the story? Foster Hewitt – whose trademark “He shoots, he scores” was only supplanted in 1972 by those wonderful five words, “Henderson has scored for Canada” – was the son of Jimmy Hewitt’s brother Billy.

I’ll be happy if it rains on Sunday. Standing in the cold and wet during a Remembrance Day service makes those long-ago wars more real. And it hides the tears that are sure to flow.

This is episode 470 from Len Corben’s trea-sure chest of stories – the great events and the quirky – that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.

When adapting a best-loved children’s book for the stage, it’s best

to tread lightly.Especially if that book is

Where the Wild Things Are, the children’s book best-loved by adults.

So when Kim Selody, direc-tor of North Vancouver’s Presentation House Theatre, wanted to bring the canoni-cal story of the misbehav-ing Max and his imaginary land of “wild things” to the Canadian stage for the first time in 2002, he wrote to Maurice Sendak to ask the Wild Things author and illus-trator for his blessing and his advice.

Sendak, 83, died in May, but not before the famously reclusive writer granted Selody the go-ahead, albeit with one condition.

“Sendak gifted us permission to do it in a small, intimate experi-ence,” Selody recalls. “And the stipulation was that it had to be a guided performance.”

What that means is the play isn’t exactly a play, per se. Rather, for those familiar

with the story, it means the audi-ence members are the “wild things” — and are provided masks accord-

ingly. “Our show is

the play where an adult can take his ‘wild

thing’ out in front of children,” Selody jokes. “You come to the show and you are encouraged, both as an adult and as a child, to let the ‘wild thing’ out of your head.”

Time to mull over a glass of hot wine

MICHAELA GARSTINS t A f f R E p o R t E R

Now that the trick-or-treat-ers have come and gone, it definitely feels like fall is

here to stay. To celebrate this cold, damp

time of the year there are always the go-to red wines but I was on the lookout for something more, dare I say it, ‘Christmassy’.

When I came across a recipe for mulled wine (which I hadn’t tried before), I knew the nutmeg, cinna-mon and cloves would jumpstart the holiday mood, albeit a month too early.

Although its origin is shrouded in mystery, this festive drink has been popular throughout Europe around Christmas for at least three centuries.

It’s called greyano vino (heated wine) in Bulgaria, sick sarap (hot wine) in Turkey and vin fiery (boiled wine) in Romania.

As you can tell by its name, this wine is meant to be served pip-ing hot with a group of friends, preferably on a chilly evening in front of a fireplace.

After searching the Internet and asking friends for a perfect recipe, I decided to combine a few to make my own.

The main ingredient is red wine, but you can opt for a cheap-

er one this time because the tra-ditional spices will get all the attention.

A fruity wine from Italy, possibly a Chianti, is best. I bought Gabbiano Chianti from Everything Wine in North

Vancouver for $13.50.As the spices brewed, my apart-

ment got a good dose of holiday cheer, proving it’s not too early to celebrate the beginning of fall.

Now, off to make your own Christmas in a glass.

Michaela’s Marvelous Mulled Wine

INGREDIENTS - 1 bottle red wine- 1 cinnamon stick - 5 gratings of nutmeg- 1 orange, juiced - 3 whole cloves- 1 dried bay leaf- 1 halved lemon, juiced- half cup brown sugar

METHOD1. pour a quarter bottle of wine into a large saucepan with the orange and lemon juice, 3/4 cup of sugar, bay leaf and spices. 2. Let the wine simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Keep on a roll-ing boil for five minutes then add more sugar to taste. 3. pour in the rest of the wine and bring back to a boil. 3. After it’s warm and the aroma of spices fills up your home, strain the mixture into glasses and serve right away.

A wing and a prayer Shot down and marooned at sea, a Second World War pilot knows he was lucky to make it home alive

MICHAELA GARSTINS t A f f R E p o R t E R

The three newspaper clippings Alfred Brenner places on his kitchen table are more than 60 years old. They have a

few small tears and are tinted yellow from old age, but otherwise they’re in good condi-tion.

The headline “4 of 5 Planes Canadians as Nazi Ship Torpedoed” runs above Brenner’s photo in bold font. Dressed in uniform, the young pilot posed for the camera as the Second World War began.

On this day, says the newspaper article, Brenner and four other men flying torpe-do-carrying aircraft were shot at by Nazi destroyers in the Bay of Biscay along the border of France and Spain. The planes in the squad were sent out to attack a block-ade runner that was accompanied by five German destroyers.

When they reached the target, the article continues, three German aircraft attacked from one side and two from the other. Only one Royal Air Force plane was destroyed from the “intense flack,” while the others escaped badly damaged.

“We could see the destroyers circling and opening up with big guns,” the newspaper quoted Brenner saying at the time.

“Seconds later our kite was shaking from the shell bursts,” he continues. “Sure we got hit, but we got home safely.”

Sitting in his North Vancouver apartment where he lives with his wife, Brenner, now 93 years old, can still remember that day vividly. His parents in Toronto cut the clippings out of their local newspaper to save for him when he returned home from war.

Brenner was 21 years old in 1942 when he made up his mind he wanted to fight for Canada. A year later, he was a trained pilot based in Scotland and England.

“I wanted to fly — there was a war on — and all my friends were joining,” he tells The Outlook, sitting back in his chair.

He’s not sure yet where he will be spending Remembrance Day this year, but says he has turned on old war documentaries in the past.

When the Second World War ended in 1945, Brenner had seen many friends killed and knew he was lucky to make it home alive.

“Your life is in danger all the time,” he says, touching another newspaper clipping on the table.

He stares at a photo of himself, 69 years younger, dressed in a standard military hat and uniform.

This time, the newspaper article reads, Brenner and his crewmates were marooned nearly two days in

a dinghy in the North Sea before they were rescued in the midst of machine gun fire.

As they attacked a shipping convoy off the Dutch coast, their aircraft was damaged, forcing them to ditch their plane on the way back to England.

“The aircraft sank and we had to swim to the din-ghy,” remembers Brenner, adding the crew was shot at by Germans as they were rescued.

“For Brenner this was not altogether a novel expe-rience,” the reporter writes. The summer before, his Beau-fighter crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal while he was en route to the Middle East.

Asked whether he spent most of the Second World War being afraid of what would happen next, he replies: “It was quite exciting, it was interesting. I wasn’t scared.”

Brenner was awarded a DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross) as a result of his service.

After the war, he retuned to civilian life and settled in Vancouver. He later had two sons, one a pilot and instructor for Boeing and the other a former Chief Justice of B.C. Today, Brenner holds 15 national titles for seniors tennis.

CNV endorses 2012 bike plan

The City of North Vancouver formally endorsed its portion of a

North Vancouver-wide cycling facilities strategy Monday, the latest step in a pedal-forward plan that began 18 years ago.

The North Vancouver Bicycle Master Plan 2012 is a joint city and district ini-tiative that charts the bike-friendly progress both munici-palities have made since the 2006 update and takes stock of where North Van wants to be down the road.

Since 2006, the city has built up its net-work of bike lanes and dedicated paths by about 65 per cent, growing from 20 kilo-metres of bike-friendly facilities in 2006 to 33 kilometres today.

Those major additions since 2006 include the city’s first separated bike lane on Larson Road, bike lanes on Marine Drive, the Harbourside West Overpass and the replacement of the MacKay Bridge near Capilano Mall.

The mandate of the new plan, according to assistant city engineer Dragana Mitic, is “to improve safety for cyclists, bring the cycling network closer to residents, build up community connections and promote cycling as a key component of our sus-tainable transportation system.”

Not only has the city’s cycling network

grown, but over the past 10 years, the number of cycling trips and the average distance of those trips has grown as well.

“The number of cycling trips in the city has increased over 140 per cent which is way above all the other modes,” Mitic said. “As well, during the same [10-year] period, the average distance cyclists trav-elled increased 80 per cent from 3.8 to 6.9 kilometres.”

Thanks in large part to the North Van cycling plan, which was first established in 1994, every city resident now lives within 300 metres of a dedicated cycling route, according to the 2012 plan update.

The whole pan-North Van cycling net-work proposed in the 2012 plan is 107 kilometres long, counting separately those bike lanes on either side of the same road. That’s an increase of 37 per cent over the 2006 plan, which called for 78 kilometres of cycling routes across North Van city and district.

different sports and representation of all time periods.”

Telling historical narratives requires frequent trips to the North Vancouver Museum and Archives, hours at the library scrolling microfilm and flipping through old city directories and cold calls — lots of them. Corben thinks noth-ing of coming across a somewhat unique last name, typing it into Canada411.com, getting 25 or more results and calling up each one to gather intel for his story. He’s tracked down people as far away as Germany for his column.

That doggedness once even earned the inveterate researcher a return call — from the law.

When Corben was making his way through a list of names for a story on New Year’s babies, one call recipient became suspicious, thinking the man on the other end of the line might be a fraudster looking to glean some personal info so he called the RCMP, who in turn called Corben.

“That’s the first time that’s happened,” Corben says with a laugh.

Usually his calls end up turning into long conversations or later interviews.

“They do some of the research them-selves,” he says.

“Pretty much everyone I deal with is so helpful. ‘You might try so and so and here’s their number.’”

Mostly Corben relies on his own history on the North Shore for story ideas. After all, he grew up here, played sports here, had his own sports column in the North Shore Citizen beginning when he was still in high school and served as the coordi-nator of athletics for the North and West Van school districts for three decades.

Of course, during his research he also

stumbles across gems. A good example is “A Footrace for the

Ages,” which appeared in his first book, Instant Replay.

“That story came about because of a few lines that were tucked away in a story in a newspaper that hasn’t existed in years,” he explains.

While doing research for a West Vancouver May Day story he stumbled across a paragraph or two about a 100- yard race in 1931 that ended with one runner tripping over his shoelace and the race being rerun in an incredible act of good sportsmanship.

“Now if I could get ahold of the people,” he said to himself.

“I researched and researched and even-tually found an Oldum [the last name of the sprinter who stumbled] in West Vancouver who was a distant relative.”

That led him to an Oldum living on Salts Spring Island.

Corben called, expecting to speak to the daughter.

Turned out, it was his wife, who was now in her 90s.

“She remembered that race in minute detail,” he says leaning forward.

“Wow, what a memory.”His story appeared in The Outlook on

May 25, 2006 “exactly 75 years after the event,” he says proudly.

“I hold stories for a key moment.”And he’s got hundreds more story ideas

stored on his computer that just need a little more research.

Chair seeks to calm fears of deep bus service cuts

JEFF NAGELB l a c k P r E s s

It’s starting to look like TransLink will say thanks but no thanks to most of the suggested savings iden-

tified this fall by provincial auditors.TransLink’s board debated the

finance ministry audit findings Oct. 24 and board chair Nancy Olewiler said she and other directors are reluc-tant to act on many of the sugges-

tions for cutting a further $41 million from the budget.

“These are recommendations, not requirements,” she said, adding the auditors were not transit experts and did not fully understand the potential damage to service from some of their proposals.

Olewiler sought to ease concern TransLink will slash or greatly reduce bus frequency on runs where few riders are on board, adding some of those routes are critical to ensur-ing the system is usable across the region.

“We run an integrated transporta-

tion service,” she said. “Just because a particular service isn’t working at full capacity doesn’t mean we eliminate it or reduce it.”

The audit suggested TransLink scrap or downgrade 22 underused routes. That’s heightened fears in some of Metro Vancouver’s fast-grow-ing suburbs that TransLink won’t keep promises to improve transit ser-vice in underserved neighbourhoods and offer a more viable alternative to car use.

“We’re building not just for current use but also future use,” Olewiler said, adding good transit can shape

future development.The audit flagged a total

of $11 million in service cuts, including reduced SkyTrain frequency at off-peak times.

But the bulk of the pro-posed savings – $30 million – would come by running thinner financial reserves and other less conservative budgeting methods.

Olewiler said the board is uncomfortable with the idea TransLink operate with much lower surpluses that could leave it more vulnerable to fluctuations in revenue.

“If a shock happened to us – something unexpected and beyond our control – we wouldn’t have the money to sustain the ser-vice,” she said.

Had thinner reserves been in place when

TransLink’s gas tax revenues sud-denly dropped over the last year, she said, it would have been harder to avoid immediate service cuts.

She noted the board believes in pru-dent fiscal management, which is also supported by bond rating agencies and results in TransLink being able to borrow more cheaply than if it took greater risks.

“To shift to a much less conserva-tive level – I think the board would have a very hard time with that.”

The audit endorsed the cost-control efforts TransLink is adopting through its 2013 base plan.

The $98 million in savings already approved include shelving most of a previously planned transit expansion, as well as further efforts to restruc-ture existing bus service, less fre-quent weekend SkyTrain service and new or higher parking fees at park-and-rides.

Olewiler said she’s optimistic the mayors’ council and the province can reach an agreement on a replacement revenue source for TransLink by the end of February, eliminating the need for a $30 million property tax increase.

The mayors set the deadline last month, saying they intend to rescind the property tax hike no matter what and leave the province to deliver an alternate source to prevent deep tran-sit cuts.

Olewiler said TransLink has not yet begun preparing a list of possible cuts to balance the budget if those talks fail.

“We’re going to cross that bridge when we come to it.”

The ‘Awakening’ At 70, Ed Jackson visited Vimy Ridge to trace Canada’s war history and then made a short film about his journey

JUSTIN BEDDALLE d I T o r

Rows of gravestones dotted the neatly kept military cemetery.

Ed Jackson was immediately struck by the ages engraved on the white stone markers.

“Eighteen, twenty-two — all very young,” he recalls.

Others belonged to unknown sol-diers.

“It’s quite overwhelming. It moves me to tears to think about it now.”

Two years ago, at age 70, Jackson, along with his wife Anne, made a pilgrimage to France to trace the his-tory of Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World wars.

That brought them to a cemetery near Vimy Ridge, the site of a bloody battle in April 1917 that saw Canadian troops wrest away an important strategic position from the Germans.

Nearly 3,600 Canadian soldiers were killed during the pivotal three-day battle.

Prior to the trip, Jackson, a retired teach-er who taught math and science, admits he knew very little about Canada’s involve-ment in the two world wars.

As he explains, during the Second World War, his father worked as a shipbuilder at North Vancouver’s Burrard Drydocks but he was unable to serve his country because his job was considered integral to the war effort; ditto for Anne’s father, whose com-

pany produced food for the troops. Anne’s grandfather had fought in the First World War, but “he never talked about it — ever.”

“Tears came to his eyes and the subject changed,” she says.

Since setting foot on the battlefields and visiting information kiosks and war muse-ums in France, the couple has a much deeper understanding about the profound impact of the Great War.

“What it meant to Canada and our young people — tremendous loss,” says Ed, who laments the fact that when he was in school the cur-riculum didn’t include much about Canada’s overseas war efforts.

After their month-long trip to France, the Jacksons enrolled in the digital storytelling program at the Silver Harbour Seniors Centre and Ed decided to make a short film about their journey of discovery. He dubbed it The Awakening.

Mixing archival footage with his shots taken during the trip, the seven-minute film delivers a poignant message about the val-iant sacrifices made by Canadian soldiers dur-ing the First World War.

“I just think our young people can’t for-get what our forefathers have done to make this a free land for them,” says Ed, who had a specific audience in mind when making the short.

“My audience was definitely my grand-kids and young people in general.”

One day, he’d like to see his short film shown in schools.

—The Awakening and other videos created by the Silver Harbour Digital Storytellers group are currently being screened before movie features at the Kay Meek Centre.

Since 2002, the director has premiered the play across Canada, even taking it on a victory lap in 2006 before bringing it to Japan, twice. His timing couldn’t have been better, as only a short while after securing Sendak’s permission to stage it, the author sold all the story’s reproduction rights to Universal Studios to make the 2009 film, Wild Things.

“This is the only existing production of the play,” Selody tells The Outlook, having consulted an entertainment lawyer soon after the story’s sale. “Several other people have asked can they get the rights to the play and I said actually you can’t because Maurice Sendak was very careful to only gift it to a few people under very strict rules.”

The most important rule for Selody, whether stated or not, is not to stray from Sendak’s child-like vision.

“It’s built on the premise that you really can never know for sure what’s going on in someone else’s head,” Selody says. “And the feelings that a child has — the feelings of loneliness, the feelings of anger, the feelings of frustration — are just as powerful in a four-year-old or three-year-old as they are in an adult. They’re not lesser just because the kid is younger.

“Maurice Sendak understood that,” the 35-year theatre veteran adds.

Often remembered not as a children’s author but as an author who told the truth about childhood, Sendak’s work, when here adapted for the stage, requires one big lie to get its point across. Namely, that there is a play, but due to a late-coming trouble-making audience member, the children are missing it.

“When the kids come in and they sit down in the theatre, they think they’re get-ting the story of Where the Wild Things Are and they think it’s going to be told in a cer-tain way. But then a kid comes in late and disrupts everything and gets into a lot of trouble. He ends up wrecking everything, and he’s Max,” Selody says. “Then he ends up going on his journey and we help him through it all.”

And like the book, while created ostensi-bly for kids, it’s meant to be enjoyed by kids of all ages. And that in itself may be the book’s most endearing and enduring qual-ity; the precision with which it navigates face-value fun for kids with reflective meta-phor for nostalgic grownups.

“We try to make the play work at both the adult and the child’s level,” Selody says,” because the purpose of this is to have a shared experience.”

Where the Wild Things Are plays Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Nov. 8 to 18 at Presentation House Theatre. Tickets are $15 and seating is limited to about 100 peo-ple per performance.
