The Vancouver School Board will hire a commu-nity engagement coordinator and maintain Con-tinuing Education for another year.

Those were two of the budget decisions reachedlate Monday night at the board’s final budget meeting.

One of the most contentious items during budget con-sultations this year, the additional new communicationsworker would be tasked with marketing the public schoolsystem to try to increase enrolment. Its $120,000 annualcost was to be divided between $80,000 for salary andbenefits and $40,000 for supplies. But Mike Lombardi,Vision Vancouver vice chair of the board, proposed that$20,000 of the supply budget be redirected to grants forprograms that support vulnerable children on school clo-sure days and his motion passed.

The board also agreed to extend Continuing Educationfor another year to give the money-losing program moretime to revamp and increase its revenue. Changes madeto the program and its marketing last year appear to haveimproved its bottom line. The program’s projected budgetshortfall for 2012-2013 is $196,155, an improvement from$366,505 in 2011-2012.

In other moves, the board voted to cut four teachersinstead of eight after an amendment proposed by Lom-bardi. NPA trustee Fraser Ballantyne’s motion to main-tain all eight positions was supported only by his partycolleagues, Ken Denike and Sophia Woo. The four lostteacher positions will be in addition to the 38 teachersthe district expects to lay off as a result of declining en-rolment. On the recommendation of Vision board chairPatti Bacchus, the district will make restoring moreteachers a priority if the district finds itself in a betterfinancial position in June.

Following leadership debates broadcast on televisionMonday night and radio last Friday, only NDP lead-er Adrian Dix is scheduled to appear at an all-can-didates debate in Vancouver during the provincial

election campaign.Green Party leader Jane Sterk and B.C. Conservative

leader John Cummins are both running in ridings outside

Vancouver. Liberal Premier Christy Clark, running for re-election in Vancouver-Point Grey, is opting to avoid all-can-didates meetings altogether.

Clark drew criticism last week for being a no-show atan all-candidates debate in her home riding. Former Lib-eral party president Andrew Wilkinson, the candidate forneighbouring Vancouver-Quilchena, instead representedthe premier at the April 25 event hosted by UBC’s Alma Ma-ter Society at Saint James Hall.

He had previously been turned away asClark’s fill-in at another all-candidates de-bate in April.

Dix, meanwhile, is scheduled to appearat an all-candidates debate in his home rid-ing, Vancouver-Kensington, on Thursday(May 2) beginning at 7 p.m. at CollingwoodNeighbourhood House.

Marjorie Cohen, a political science profes-sor at Simon Fraser University, said it’s notunusual for incumbent premiers to skip de-bates in their ridings. She said Clark wouldhave taken a risk taking on the NDP’s DavidEby, whom she beat by only 564 votes in the2011 byelection, and the other main partycandidates.

“Often a sitting premier will not debateanyone other than the leaders of the op-position, so in this she is following whatmany have done before her,” Cohen toldthe Courier. “The risk for her now is thatthe undecided voters may take offence andfeel she is taking the riding for granted. Iguess Christy Clark has determined thatshe has more to lose from the riding debatethan she has to gain, and she may be right.She’s the seasoned politician and Eby is thenovice — she’d have to demolish him to winanything much, and he’s not a pushover.”

Dix, who won 16 per cent more votes thanLiberal runner-up Liberal Bill Yuen in thelast election, will face off against new Lib-eral challenger Gurjit Dhillon, a recruitingcoordinator for the RCMP running for of-fice for the first time, as well as Green partycandidate and fellow political newcomerGregory Esau.

Derrick Harder, a volunteer for NDP can-didate Gabriel Yiu’s campaign in Vancouver-Fraserview, points out that riding debates,unlike party leader debates, depend largelyon community groups to organize eventsand invite candidates to attend.

“We don’t set them up ourselves,” saidHarder. ”It’s really up to folks in the com-munity to organize and put it together andif nobody does, there is simply no debate.

It’s up to us to make ourselves available ornot, as the case may be. There’s only one sofar that we’ve been invited to, so I’m hopingthere will be more.”

Yiu will debate Suzanne Anton (Liberal)and Stuart Mackinnon (Green) on seniors’issues today at the South Vancouver Neigh-bourhood House, 3076 East 49th Ave., start-ing at 7 p.m.

Other upcoming candidates’ events in-clude a multi-party forum on climate and

energy policies today (May 1) at the HiVEbeginning at 7 p.m. at 128 W. Hastings St.Wilkinson will once again represent the rul-ing party at the debate, which will includeNDP Vancouver-False Creek candidate MattToner, Vancouver-Mount Pleasant Greencandidate Barinder Hans and Vancouver-Point Grey Conservative hopeful DuaneNickull.

An event is also scheduled for Vancou-ver-Mount Pleasant candidates tomorrow

tonight (May 2) starting at 7 p.m. at theRay-Cam Co-operative Centre (920 EastHastings St.) starting at 6:30 p.m. A “meetthe candidates” event for Vancouver-Fair-view takes place May 2 at The Terraces,1570 West Seventh Ave., with Liberal in-cumbent Margaret MacDiarmid, the NDP’sGeorge Heyman and Green candidate Mat-thew Pedley at 2:30 p.m.

The board will reduce its facilities maintenance staff bytwo positions instead of four, an amendment recommend-ed by COPE trustee Allan Wong.

Trustees also decided to reduce the number of youth andfamily workers by two, rather than eight, as recommendedby district management in the preliminary budget and sixin the revised budget, as moved by Vision trustee CheriePayne. Woo had wanted to retain six workers.

Trustees also voted to fund two of four substance useprevention workers that were previously funded by thefederal government. Denike favoured funding four posi-tions.

The Barn at John Oliver secondary will be shutteredto save $45,940 annually much to the chagrin of Denikewho said this move would hurt the Digital Immersion Mini

School that operates out of the building.Ballantyne argued the board shouldn’t add a principal

to the district’s International Education program, but ad-ditions to the program were approved.

Parents were pleased with some of the decisions, ac-cording to District Parent Advisory Council chair ColinRedfern.

“We gained teachers back, we gained trades back, wegained youth and family workers back,” he said. “The dis-appointment I have, beyond the cuts in general, is the par-tisan politics I saw at the board tonight.”

Redfern said he favoured motions forwarded by NPAtrustees about funding more SACY workers, retaining TheBarn at JO and making International Education pay forits administrator out of its budget rather than the generalkindergarten to Grade 12 budget.

“It appears to me that if you’re a parent or teacher andyour recommendations are picked up by the NPA, theywill not go ahead,” he said.

The Vancouver School Board faces an estimated fundingshortfall of more than $7 million and is required to submita balanced budget to the province. Trustees passed a res-toration budget Monday night that the board will submitto the province alongside the balanced budget. The resto-ration budget contends the district would need an addi-tional $41 million to restore the same level of service thatit offered students a decade ago.

The board also forwarded plans to review the inner cityschools program and to increase the number of child carespaces in elementary schools.

BOBMACKINContributing writer

AVancouver civicworker is accusingcity hall and thehead of a group

representing community cen-tre associations with breach-ing his privacy.

Milan Kljajic, who is alsothe president of the Kensing-ton Community Centre Asso-ciation, alleged in an April 25letter by lawyer Dean Davisonthat Grandview CommunityCentre Association, its presi-dent Kate Perkins and the As-sociation Presidents Groupwhich she chairs breached theFreedom of Information andProtection of Privacy Act andPersonal Information Protec-tion Act.

Kljajic is also questioningwhose side Perkins is on.

At issue is a Dec. 3, 2012email exchange between Per-kins and David Sexton, theRenfrew Community CentreAssociation president, under

the subject “Our friend Milan.”The email was copied to the“kccapresident@gmail.com”account of Stephen Elliott-Buckley, Kljajic’s predecessor.

A 1:27 p.m. message at-tributed to Perkins said: “I justsaw (as I sit as Penny’s mole)that Milan also works for theCity — must be in sanitationwith Alex.” A 1:44 p.m. mes-sage attributed to Perkins list-ed Kljajic’s City of Vancouveremail address and said “he’s atruck driver for the city.”

Penny is believed to be citymanager Penny Ballem. Nei-ther Perkins nor Ballem haveresponded to requests forcomment. The allegations areunproven.

Davison’sletterclaimedthatPerkins accessed Kljajic’s per-sonal information via her civicemployment. The title col-umn on the publicly availableQuick Find directory reads“cart warehouse” on Kljajic’sentry. The internal staff direc-tory, however, shows Kljajic’stitle as “Truck Driver I.”

Perkins, Davison’s lettersaid, “appears to also be a cityemployee and was so at therelevant time, as her public,online profile indicates thatshe worked for the city in2012. Additionally, Perkinswas and is a member of theBoard of Directors of TroutLake and is the representativeof the APG.”

Perkins’ LinkedIn profilelists her as the “conduit be-tween Park Board/COV and23 Vancouver CommunityCentres.” She was the Cityof Vancouver coordinatorfor Pride 2012 and, for fivemonths in 2011, communityoutreach coordinator for thecivic election office.

Davison demanded an im-mediateresponsefromthecity,Grandview (aka Trout Lake),PerkinsandtheAPG“outliningtheir involvement, knowledge,and direction of the obviousbreach of privacy.” Davisonalso wants to know what cor-rective actions will be taken toprevent a repeat breach.

“I can’t comment on the situ-ation with the privacy breachor with my employer and/ormy union but I can say that I amwell represented with CUPE1004 chief steward Alex Bruseand a high ranking steward,”Kljajic said in an emailed state-ment.“Myunionwillbeinvesti-gating this ongoing situation.”

Kljajic opposes the city’splan to centralize control ofthe 23 community centres

and redistribute revenuesto so-called “have not” com-munity centres. His attemptto speak at the Feb. 27 parkboard meeting was thwartedwhen he was warned by thecity human resources depart-ment that he risked violatingthe code of conduct. The codeallows employees to engagein political activity, “so longas it does not impair, or is notperceived as impairing, the

employee’s ability to performhis or her duties in a politicallyimpartial manner.”

Opponents of the central-ization are crying foul over theApril 18 Kitsilano CommunityCentre Association annualgeneral meeting. They claimthe meeting was hijacked bythose sympathetic with thecentralization plan.

The Safe Amplification Site Societycelebrated its new part-time homeSaturday night with a grand open-ing and fundraiser.

The non-profit organization that promotesall-ages music events followed up the con-cert at the defunct Astorino’s Ballroom withan afternoon show Sunday.

The shows were the latest in a series of artsand non-profit events occurring in past monthsat the venue, which is slated for redevelopment,and the start of what Britannia Community Ser-vices Centre and its partners hope will be a com-munity site for at least a year.

“We would like to have a one-year lease to beable to at least plan and provide some stability,”saidCynthiaLow,executivedirectorofBritanniacommunitycentre.BritanniaisoperatingAstori-no’s with a month-to-month rental agreementand hopes to create a viable business model.

Mere steps outside the Britannia communitycentre last week, the Courier spotted a boy wear-

ing a T-shirt that read “create not curate.”Low espoused the same vision.“At a time when the city is really investing in

arts and culture infrastructure, particularly forlarge infrastructure, we recently heard the an-nouncement about the [Vancouver] Art Galleryand the commitment that the city has made,”Low said. “We also need to remember not onlyare our citizens spectators and viewers and con-sumers of cultural industries, but we also haveto be creators, players, movers and incubators of

local arts initiatives that complete the continu-um of arts and culture in our city.”

Britannia contacted Astorino’s landownerwhen it learned the venue on Venables at Com-mercial Drive that hosted weddings, baptismsand bingo for 29 years faced eventual demoli-tion and asked if the community centre coulduse the space before it’s pulled down.

“Britannia is a community centre that wasbuilt in the ’70s and we are really bursting atthe seams,” Low said. “We don’t have room for

programming space so we were looking for op-portunitiestobeabletoprovidealevelofservicethat the community expected and needed.”

She contends a community centre’s role ex-tendsbeyondmereprogramming.“Ithasalwaysbeen Britannia’s philosophy and principle to re-ally tap into the inspiration and the potential ofour local citizens,” Low said.

Britannia previously helped establish the EastVan Kickstand volunteer-run community bikespace in the basement of Astorino’s.

The community centre put a call out forgroups to operate at Astorino’s. It has tenta-tively lined up SASS, Calypso Hut B.C. Trini-dad and Tobago cultural society, Ground-swell, which promotes grassroots economicalternatives, and the Turkish Canadian So-ciety to share use of the main floor and con-tribute to rent and “sweat equity.”

Low said a committee worked with the cityfor five months to secure permits for the “pop-up community centre.”

Shewantsthecitytoreviewitspermittingandland use policies to make it easier for non-profitsand growing community groups to use unusedspaces in their neighbourhoods.

“We do have a lot of empty spaces in the cityand really to be able to use those spaces for com-munity good would be phenomenal for the vi-brancy of the city,” Low said.

Apopular homeless man found deadbehind a Marpole dollar store in De-cember 2012 died of “undeterminedcauses,” according to a coroner’s re-

port obtained by the Courier.ClaireThompsonoftheB.C.CoronersService

said in her report that she couldn’t conclusivelysay how 49-year-old Rick Hofs died but suggest-ed he may have suffered a seizure.

Five days before his death, Hofs was admit-ted to hospital after suffering a seizure and was“managed with anti-seizure medication” beforehesubsequentlyleftthehospitalagainstmedicaladvice. The report said Hofs had a known histo-ry of chronic alcohol abuse and was found nextto an empty bottle of vodka. He was dressed inmultiple layers of clothing and a hospital brace-let was on his wrist.

A toxicology analysis, however, detected a“low concentration of alcohol” in Hofs’ body.No prescribed medications or illicit drugs weredetected. “Due to Mr. Hofs known history of fre-quent alcohol withdrawal seizures, it is possiblethat an unwitnessed seizure event occurred re-sulting in death,” said Thompson, adding thatanirregularheartbeatandhypothermiaremainpossible causes of death.

Thompson noted hypothermia is frequentlycomplicated by drinking alcohol because boozeincreases blood flow to the body’s skin and ex-tremities, making an individual feel warm whileat the same time increasing heat loss.

Temperatures in Vancouver were between2.4 and 5.6 Celsius when Hofs was discoveredDec. 27 in a loading bay behind Amy’s Loonie-Toonie Town on the northeast corner of 70th

and Granville.Vancouver police ruled out foul play after no

obvious trauma or injury was observed. Videofrom a surveillance camera pointed in the gen-eralvicinityofwhereHofswassleepingrevealedanother person in the area.

“There was one individual noted as comingandgoingintheearlymorninghoursonDec.27,who had also reportedly been residing in closeproximitytoMr.Hofs,” thereportsaid.“Nothingsuspicious was observed in the video regardingthe individual or in the general area in the hourspreceding Mr. Hofs’ death.”

A postmortem exam of Hofs’ body revealeda fatty liver, a condition commonly associatedwith alcohol use, taking certain medications

and obesity.After his death, friends of Hofs told the Cou-

rier Hofs was frail and relied on a walker to getaround in the weeks before his death. Manybelieved Hofs’ decline was exacerbated by theloss of his pit bull cross, Bandit, four years ago.Somebody stole the dog and despite a search ef-fort by friends the animal was never found.

In January, Hofs’ sister Louise Wilson, withthehelpofherbrother’sfriends,hostedamemo-rial for Hofs at Marpole Place on 70th Avenue.

About 80 people attended, including Wilson’stwo adult daughters, single moms, seniors, thehomeless, young kids, the disabled, a letter car-rier, a pastor and the owner of the dollar store.

Friends paid tribute to Hofs in words andsong. Wilson left the ceremony saying she felthumbled by the turnout and the warmth of herbrother’s friends.

She and her brother lost touch more than adecade ago after Hofs, who was a skilled car-penter, said he was going to Vancouver and hewould call Wilson. He used to call her on herbirthday but those calls stopped.

The Courier contacted Wilson at her homeMonday. She received a copy of the coroner’sreport but said she hadn’t read it. “I haven’topened it and I don’t think I’m quite ready forthat yet,” she said.

The B.C. Coroners Service released a reportlast fall showing 168 homeless people died inthe province between 2007 and 2010.

Of those 168 deaths, 45 occurred in Van-couver, the highest in the province, withVictoria (25) and Surrey (15) rounding outthe top three cities. No statistics for 2011 and2012 were available.

A City of Vancouver homeless count conduct-ed in 2012 found that more than 1,600 peoplewere considered homeless in the city. Full de-tails of a count done in March of this year will beput together in a report that will go before citycouncil in May.

news

Apparently, some Vancou-ver businesses don’t like theservice of the VancouverPolice Department as muchas they used to. That’s ac-cording to an annual surveyconducted by NRG ResearchGroup for the department thatfound “business satisfaction”for 2012 was at 78 per cent.

Which is not bad. But thatsatisfaction level is down from

90 per cent in 2011.Why?That’s a question one of

the members of the researchgroup attempted to provideinsight into when she recentlyappeared before the Vancou-ver Police Board.

“Unfortunately, there is noeasy answer to why this hasgone down,” said researchconsultant Kim Scott.

The decline has left PoliceChief Jim Chu and his deputychiefs scratching their heads.So they’ve decided to get theVPD’s business liaison officerto investigate and supply morefeedback.

“You can’t hit 50 home runsevery year,” said Chu, notinghesuspectsresponsetimesandmore police presence could bereasons for the dissatisfaction.

Chu was quick to point outthat 85 per cent of residents

polled in the survey were sat-isfied with the level of servicethe VPD provided in 2012.

Every year, the VPD con-tracts NRG research groupto assess the satisfaction ofbusinesses and residents withpolice. The sample size in-cluded 800 residents and 400businesses. The survey askedresidents to provide a singlerecommendation to the VPDto improve service. The mostfrequent suggestion, whichhasbeenconsistent inprevioussurveys, was to increase thepresenceandvisibilityofpolicein neighbourhoods.

Second to that was for theVPD to increase its “transpar-ency,”meaningreleasingmoreinformation to the public.

As for how people get theirnews about the VPD, the hard-working crew at the Courier ishappy to report 32 per cent of

respondents across the city saythey read it in this paper.

That was higher than TheWestender, Globe and Mail andThe Province. Note to readers:We also have vancourier.comwhere many stories — police-related and others — that youdon’t see in the print version ofthe paper are posted online ona daily basis.

MENTAL HEALTHPolice contacts with mentallyill persons continue to con-sume significant police re-sources.

That’s a line right out of Po-lice Chief Jim Chu’s intro tothe Vancouver Police Depart-

ment’s annual business planfor this year.

So what is the VPD doingabout a crisis that many say isnot a police issue, but govern-ment oversight?

Lots, according to Chu.“To reduce these contacts,

the VPD will create an earlywarning system and will in-tervene and collaborate withmental health service practi-tioners to prevent incidents ofviolence,” he wrote.

In addition, the chief said,his officers will “work moreclosely” with Vancouver Coast-al Health on various commit-tees, projects and teams to im-prove mental health services

in the city. To that end, he said,the health agency’s AssertiveCommunity Treatment pro-gram, which took in 21 peoplein 2012, will be expanded tohave three full-time teams thisyear. And then there’s this:“The VPD will advocate formore mental health resourcesat the national level, to boththe federal government andpolice leaders across Canada.”

Chu, it would appear, mighthave more pull than otherchiefsacrossthecountryonthistopic since he happens to be thepresident of the Canadian As-sociation of Chiefs of Police.

If B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix wins theMay 14 election, there’s going to be a lotmore arguments over the finer points.

There’ll be a lot less grandiose vi-sioning and a lot more restating of ques-tions to terms more favourable to the per-son answering them. There’ll be a lot moreciting of statistics to the second decimalpoint. And a lot more stern lectures abouthigh-concept policies. He came off in thetelevised leaders’ debate as a detail guy,almost baffled at times by Premier ChristyClark’s propensity to wing it.

Clark handled the 90-minute showdownwith Dix, B.C. Conservative leader JohnCummins and B.C. Green leader Jane Sterk fairly well. She took it to Dixwherever possible, and painted the “stark choice” with as broad a brushas possible. He’s a big-government, tax-loving debt hog who says no toeverything and wants to take money from kids’ RESPs, by her reckoning.

However accurate that cartoon outline is, it’s unlikely to change theoutcome of the May 14 election by much.

Midway through the evening, it started to look like a preview of how Op-position leader Christy Clark would be holding Premier Dix to account — onthe uncertain assumption that she wins her Vancouver-Point Grey seat.

Sterk, meanwhile, fared well by sticking to the mildest points of theGreen manifesto and making only passing reference to the more outland-ish elements — like jacking the carbon tax sky-high.

Cummins, who looked surprisingly unsteady given his 19 years in theHouse of Commons meat grinder, blew most of his credibility by insisting that— despite jettisoning a string of nominees for an assortment of stupid, vulgaror inopportune remarks — “our candidate screening is second to none.”

(Memo to the leader: When “the Google” shows results, there’s usuallymore than one page.)

His best line was off the top. “Look, everyone knows the Liberals can’twin this election. So you’ve probably tuned in to see what Adrian Dix willlook like as premier.”

On that perfectly valid note, what Dix looked like was someone witha lot of negatives churning in the back of his mind when he thinks aboutClark, who was grimly trying to stay positive. Asked about the NDP’s re-cord of saying no to just about every major resource project that comesdown the pike, he tried the old dodge of saying it’s not a choice betweenthe economy and the environment. (Most of the time, yes, it is.)

Then he cited his yes to liquefied natural gas, yes to forestry (but no tolog exports), and yes to mining, film production and tourism (but not onJumbo Glacier). It was Sterk who goaded him back to no, by quizzing himon his pipeline-tanker move. After ducking the issue for a year, Dix lastweek rejected the idea of turning Vancouver into an oil port, which meansrejecting the Kinder Morgan pipeline plan in its present form.

He told Sterk most people don’t want a nine-fold increase in tankers.“My clear position is that tanker traffic doesn’t make sense.”

There were a few compelling moments when Dix tried, as gingerly aspossible, to call BS on the premier. When Clark attacked him for not cost-ing his platform, he protested “your claims are not true.”

When she raised the RESP repudiation, he said Liberals are runningChinese-language ads accusing him of stealing money from kids. “Noth-ing could be further from the truth. Every penny of that money will bespent on kids.”

When she cited varying NDP stands on LNG, he responded: “What thepremier is saying is not true, and the premier knows it.”

After she attacked the NDP’s curious Kinder Morgan stand, he said: “Iknow it’s in the script, but we’ve answered it twice already. I think it’s alittle rich to talk about consistency here.”

Later, he took her on directly: “Let’s discuss accountability in its mostbasic form. What bond-rating agency has confirmed … your repeated con-tention that you’re running a balanced budget?”

Clark came up with a selective partial quote, which prompted Dix to dis-miss her “fact-free campaign.” “None of the rating agencies, not a singleone, says what you’ve repeatedly said they’ve said.”

By that point, it was like watching your parents argue in the kitchen.lleyne@timescolonist.com

MOREFUNDINGNEEDEDFORSOUTHVANSENIORSCENTRETo the editor:Re: “$$ for seniors centre,”Central Park - April 17.The$1.3million that theLiber-als gave to theCity of Vancouverfor the longawaited seniorscentre inSouthVancouvermaybeworse thanuseless. The costestimate for the centre three yearsagowas$500per square foot.Labour andmaterials havenotdecreasedandwenowestimatecosts between$7.5 and$8million.Basedona15-year campaignby seniors inSouthVancouver,the city committed$2.5milliontowards the centre’s constructionas longas it ismatchedby theprovince and the federalgovernments.The$1.3million provincecontribution, even ifmatchedbythe feds,will leave the funding$2.4 to$2.9million short, a recipefor yet another lengthy delay. I amcalling on theprovincial govern-ment to increase its funding to anacceptable level. There are sevenseniors centres on theWest Sidewith none on theEast Side.Keith Jacobson, Southeast Van-couver Seniors Centre Society

LAWNBOWLERSGETSWEETDEALTo the editor:Re: “WestPointGrey lawnbowlers get ready to roll,” April 26.While the story is all warmand fuzzy, it leaves out somevery important facts like thesweetheart lease deal they havewith the Vancouver Park Board.Individual lawn bowlingclubs in Vancouver pay only $1a year for the exclusive use oftheir clubhouses, lawn bowlinggreens, associated buildings

and grounds.While clubs are responsiblefor ongoing light maintenancethe park board has spentmillions on the buildings andgrounds of these facilitieswith no hope of cost recovery.The park board and city haveensured clubs can sell alcoholand lease halls for profit, profitsthat are not returned as generalrevenue to the park board.With children now being sub-jected to increased fees for soft-ball and soccer, I’m sure thereare plenty of youth clubs and or-ganizations that would embraceloonie a year rates for privateuse of parkspace in exchange forsome painting, cutting the grass,cleaning the washrooms andemptying garbage cans.Most of the lawn bowlingclubs are located on ex-tremely valuable West Sidereal estate. With low mem-bership levels there’s clearlymore than needed. Reducingthe number by one wouldbring millions of dollars thatcould go towards address-ing greater needs city-widesuch as keeping communitycentres open on holidays.George Brissette,Vancouver

CITY’SDECISIONSMOSTLYABOUTREALESTATETo the editor:Re: “Viaducts removal a donedeal,” Letters, April 19.Letter writer Gayle Nesbit’sconclusion that removal of theGeorgia viaduct is a done dealbarks up the wrong tree as itwere. The bikes lanes slashgreenway excuse is just part ofthe bigger plan to develop thelast remaining swath of realestate on false creek.

The landadjacent to the viaductbelongs to developerConcordPacific, andobviously the viaductinterfereswith the full potential ofthe area. If there’s one thing I’veobserved inmy15 years as aVan-couverite is that allmajor city halldecisions involve the real estatepuppetmasters. From theCanadaLine alongCambie, to rezoning forlanewayhousing to bailing out theAthletes Village, it’s always aboutreal estate.Charles Leduc,Vancouver

OLSONRIGHTONTHATCHERTo the editor:Re: “Olson wrong on Thatch-er,” Letters, April 26.I readGeorgeVysatek’s per-spective onGeoff Olson’s pieceandwondered ifwehad read thesamecolumn. From1985 to 1990,I lived andworked in variouspartsof Thatcher’s Englandandeitherpersonallywitnessedandexperi-encedevery historical pointOlsonrecounted, or saw themreportedwidely in thenationalmedia.Thatcher’s government wasroundly despised bymillionsuponmillions of voters, and withgood reason.

WEWANT YOUROPINIONHate it or love it? We want to know... really, we do!Reach us by email: editor@vancourier.com

Would your personal historypass muster in politics?

We’ve all done it apparently.Purposely running a red light

that is.I’m talking, of course, about

B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark’s regretta-ble decision to run a red light very early onemorning after being egged on by her 11-year-old son. The illegal manoeuvre was includedin reporter Jonathan Fowlie’s lengthy profilepiece in Saturday’s Vancouver Sun.

Most everybody agrees Clark made a mistake,given she let an 11-year-old tell her what to dowhile having a reporter in the car to witness it all.For a smart person, that was a profoundly dumb move.

What surprises me about this story, however, is the collective “we’ve all done it”reaction to running a red light when no one is around (albeit with no reporter andhopefully no children in the car). Not to be self-righteous, but I’ve never done that.It’s one of those things I just can’t do — at least not in my car. On my bike, sure.

I have, however, done many other questionable things, which I’ll get to in a mo-ment. Clark will struggle but get past the now infamous red light decision, but whatif a first-time candidate had made the same boneheaded mistake with a reporter inthecar?GiventherecentspateofturfedcandidatesfromtheB.C.Conservatives,onefrom the B.C. NDP and an earlier resignation from a B.C. Liberal candidate in Surrey,would such an incident lead to a party firing a candidate?

Yes. There are rules for wannabe politicians and a different set for incumbents.If I wanted to take a stab at politics, I wonder if there is anything in my digital past

and present that could surface to haunt me. Few people are squeaky clean. Myselfincluded. I’ve been inebriated in public, I’ve inhaled and injested questionable sub-stances, I got behind the wheel once when I probably shouldn’t have, I’ve streaked inpublic (it was a beach on Pender Island and only my friends were present except forthat largeB.C.Ferrypassingby), I’veskinnydippedinalakewherepublicswimmingis prohibited, I attended a Ted Nugent concert, I’ve let my kids hear me curse (“No,honey, I said duck.”), I’ve lied to my kids, I once voted for Brian Mulroney.

I’ve long stopped doing such things (except for accidentally cursing in front of mykids) and wish my younger self could have been wiser and wasted fewer days suffer-ing from hangovers. They’re just not worth it, kids. Trust me on this one.

Facebook didn’t exist when I was in university or when I lived abroad for fouryears, but cameras did. I’ve been “tagged” in old pics that friends have scannedand posted to the social networking site. They’re all cringeworthy, but so farnothing too embarrassing except for some questionable hairstyles. Hardly politi-cal career killing. While I can’t control what I’ve done in the past, I can controlwhat I write in the present. I like to employ what seems to be an underused tech-nique called “self-editing.” Apparently, Rob Herbert, the turfed Conservativecandidate for Vancouver-West End is clueless on this front and somehow missedthe gazillion media stories about the viral impact of anything posted on the In-ternet. Herbert used the word “bitch” when talking about Clark and Chief JusticeBeverley McLachlin on his Facebook page and Twitter account. In an interviewwith the Vancouver Sun during which he apologized, he said: “You think it’s likespeaking to someone in your living room, but you don’t realize that there is aglobal audience.”

Is he 12?IanToothill,alsoarecentlyturfedConservativecandidateinVancouver,obviously

didn’t realize he broke Godwin’s law when during a Twitter exchange, he tweeted,“Who’sreallytoblame?Hitlerorthepeoplewhoactedonhiswords?”Godwin’sLaw,better known as the Rule of Nazi Analogies, is an assertion by American lawyer MikeGodwin that “given enough time in any online discussion — regardless of topic orscope — someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis.”

The third tossed Tory is North Van’s Jeff Sprague who is in the midst of a drunk-driv-ing investigation. Again, if you’re already in power these incidents would not lead to adismissal. They would require a simple mea culpa. Is this fair? I have no idea.

What I found more than strange were the narrow-minded comments former NDPKelowna Mission candidate Dayleen van Ryswik made a few years ago about FirstNations and French Canadians. Why was she even an NDPer to begin with is a mys-tery given she said: “Seems the only group of people universally hated around theworldotherthantheAmericansarethefrenchandFRENCHCANADIANS…thebig-ots are the french and not us…. I’m getting so sick of having french stuffed down mythroat…this isn’t Quebec…it’s western Canada…we speak english here….”

Hardly touch feely, bleeding heart left winger stuff. More Tory-esque really. Howdid the NDP miss this one?

Caroline Adderson is frus-trated, but she’s found an

online outlet.The West Side resident,

who lives on the Kerrisale/Mackenzie Heights border,launched a Facebook pagein early January called Van-couver Vanishes to lamentand celebrate the city’svanishing character homes.As of early this week, it’srecorded 1,095 likes. Ul-timately, the goal is to en-courage Vancouverites topress city council to curtaildemolitions and promotethe green option — renova-

tion and retention.“One person writing let-

ters doesn’t do much, buthundreds of people willhave an effect. Failing that,the page will stand as a re-cord of what we’ve lost,” shetold the Courier.

Adderson, an author, hadbeen concerned about olderhomes being knocked downto make way for new houses inher neighbourhood for years,but she was particularly ag-gravated when a 96-year-oldneighbour died and the house

she’d lived in since she was achild was torn down.

“That was three years ago.No one has ever lived in [thenew] house — it’s neverbeen sold,” she said. “And,the people who looked af-ter her lived next door in abeautifully restored 1926house. They moved aftershe died and that housewas torn down. It’s really soclose to home.”

Adderson began takingphotographs to send to citycouncil to make a pointabout what was being lost,then decided in January tocreate the Facebook page.

She’s taken 120 photos —a random sample of housesshe sees or are pointed outto her and spends four tofive hours a week on theproject, noting there were1,082 demolitions last yearaccording to city statistics.

Many of her posts attractmultiple comments andshe’s been surprised to hearfrom people who grew up inthe houses she features orfrom those who have con-nections to them.

She shoots the photoswhen she walks her dog orduring bike rides aroundthe neighbourhood.

“And then people will tellme about a house and I’ll goover and take a picture,” shesaid, adding often she’ll goout for one photo and windsup with seven.

For years, Adderson said

she couldn’t stomach look-ing at realty pages, but nowshe goes through them, cutsout ads of homes that havebeen sold and goes out andtakes a photo of them.

“Because, really, very fewof these old houses that aresold will stand,” she said.

Adderson maintains prop-erty owners should considerthe environmental footprintof knocking down old homesand building new ones.She also thinks city councilshould make it much easierfor people to renovate thehomes and force them tojustifying tearing downcharacter homes.

Adderson cites Winnipegas a city that’s maintainedmany of its older homes.

“It’s too late for us, butif you go to Winnipeg, youlook down the street and ev-ery single house is original— whole neighbourhoodsare intact,” she said. “Theyhave the oldest intact hous-ing stock in North America.”

Adderson isn’t sure howmuch influence, if any, herFacebook page will have inVancouver, although she’smet with Green Party Coun.Adriane Carr, the first coun-cillor to like the page, who’spromised to prepare a mo-tion on the issue.

“What it’s done for me is Idon’t feel so angry,” Adder-son said. “At least I’m makinga point — it’s on [council’s]conscience now. I think I havea point and I’m making it andthat’s all I can do.”

If you want to get healthier and fitter, it’s a lot easier to ‘get bywith a little help from your friends,’ and that includes support andinspiration from those in the know.

A squad of volunteer coaches (placed throughoutMetro Vancouver), backed by the University ofVictoria, are available free for people keenon making physical activity a greater part oftheir lifestyle.

The Active Choices program sees coacheswork one-on-one with clients to develop anexercise plan, set goals, track progress andhelp eliminate barriers to creating a regularexercise habit.

“Sometimes it takes a little more than will power andgood intentions to start and maintain regular exercise,” saidAngela Sealy, provincial co-ordinator for Active Choices. Part of

the coach’s role, she said, is to give people support to “get goingand stay going.”

The program was developed at Stanford University inCalifornia and brought to B.C. by Patrick McGowan,

a researcher with UVic’s Centre on Aging, whospecializes in self-management programs and

strategies for people with chronic healthconditions.

The Active Choices Program is geared foranyone over the age of 19 who is serious about

making exercise a habit. According to studies,exercise is not only good for the body; it has a

major positive impact on a high functioning brain.

To get connected to a coach and begin an exerciseprogram, or for more information on the program, contact Sealyat 604-522-1492; or email: angela.activechoices@shaw.ca.

Protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiationis important all year round, not justduring the summer or at thebeach. UV rays from the suncan reach you on cloudy andhazy days, as well as brightand sunny days. UV raysalso reflect off of surfaceslike water and sand. Indoortanning (using a tanningbed, booth, or sunlamp toget tan) exposes users to UVradiation. The hours between 10a.m. and 4 p.m. (daylight savings time)are the most hazardous for UV exposure in

our area. Health Canada recommends easyoptions for protection from UV radiation:

• Seek shade, especially during middayhours

• Wear clothing to protect exposedskin• Wear a hat with a wide brim to

shade the face, head, ears, andneck

• Wear sunglasses that wraparound and block as close to100% of both rays

• Use sunscreen with sun protectivefactor (SPF) 15 or higher

• Avoid indoor tanning

Recommending proper footwear forindividuals with poor biomechanics is criticalto a running shoe’s success, according to PhilMoore of LadySport, located on West 4th inPoint Grey.

“We pay attention to the influence offootwear choices on injuries such as PlantarFasciitis, Patello-Femoral pain, shin splints,IT Band, bunions, etc, and what the newestresearch says about the science, and the fads,in today’s footwear,” he says in the store’sannual ‘Shoe Update’ for 2013.

“Most people are not made aware of aspectsof an athletic shoe that can significantlyinfluence health concerns outside sportsmedicine. Running shoes are… the New Ageorthopaedic shoe!” says Moore. “They areused to facilitate and solve many problemsresulting from diabetes, arthritis and otherissues. When properly fitted, they can enhancethe value of an orthotic device or off-the-shelfarch support as well.”

Moore invites customers to email withany questions they may have regardingproper running footwear - phil@ladysport.ca. Or visit the store at 3545W. 4th Ave.; web: ladysport.ca.

Weekend warriorsBeing tied to a desk all day combined withoverdoing sports activities on the weekend haslanded many a participant on the sidelines.

“In addition to failing to train sufficientlyfor the sports they participate in, manyweekend warriors also fail to select the properfootwear,” says Ryan Robinson, a CanadianCertified Pedorthist and president of thePedorthic Association of Canada.

“Not wearing the correct footwear can causeproblems ranging from minor discomfort suchas blisters, corns and calluses to more seriousconditions including repetitive stress injuriesto the joints and muscles.”

Robinson cautions that one pair of runningshoes may not serve for all sports. Joggersshould wear running shoes that arespecifically designed to absorb shock andpropel them forward. However, running shoesare not appropriate for a game of basketball,which requires footwear to withstand side-to-side motions to protect against injury.

GENERAL ELECTION

Q: The flowers on our Phale-nopsis orchid are mostly gone

and we are left with five flow-ers and very long stems androots. Should this be repottedand cut back with new soil?Can it be taken out to a shel-tered patio with partial sunand much light?David Chia

A: Orchids are usually kept inthe same pot for two years be-fore repotting. Normally phale-nopsis has surface roots. But ifthere are many roots and they’rewandering down the side of thepot, it should be repotted.

Repotting should be every twoyears because the old bark be-gins rotting. The main elementin the potting mix is orchidbark. You can buy this in gardencentres. A little spaghnum mossis sometimes added to the barkbut isn’t really necessary.

Orchid bark is used becausePhalenopsis orchids need ex-ceptionally good drainage. Butthey also need daily wateringand misting because their rootsare used to humid conditionsin their native tropical forests

where they grow on trees.Overwatering kills orchids, so

be discreet but frequent in wa-tering. The flower stems shouldbe cut down to the base once theflowers have faded. A positionoutside on your balcony couldgo wrong.

Phalenopsis likes day temper-atures of 20 to 25°C and nighttemperatures around 15 to 20°Cday and night temperatureswill often be too cool for yourorchid.

I wonder which way your bal-

cony is facing. Partial sun is okayif it’s the gentle morning sun.But sun from the west or southcan be far too hot in summerfor such a shade-loving orchid.Your fertilizer should be dilutedto one-quarter of the recom-mended strength. Phalenopsisroots are very sensitive to saltsand don’t demand heavy nutri-ments. It’s also best to fertilizeonly once every two waterings.

Anne Marrison is happy to an-swer garden questions. Send themto amarrison@shaw.ca.

arts&entertainmentProdigal son returns

Idon’t know that the Bible needs a newbook, but Jesuit priest and playwrightBill Cain has some ideas about whatthat book should look like. He sug-

gests that every family adds its own story tothe end of the Bible.

The central character in Cain’s play — a Jesuitpriest and playwright called Bill Cain — tells ushe sees the Bible as a family story with Jesus, themuch-lovedsonofMary, leavinghomeat17andnevergoingbacktovisithismother.Theplayac-tually resonates more strongly with the story ofthe prodigal son and the jealousy between thedutiful son and his profligate brother.

Of Jesus, Bill (Anthony F. Ingram) pronounc-es, “He was a lousy son.” Not so Bill. When hismother Mary is diagnosed with terminal can-cer, he moves in to care for her. His youngerbrother Paul remains in El Paso leaving all thecaregiving to his mother’s favourite.

Irreverenceisthisplay’sstrongsuitalongwithdirector Morris Ertman’s light touch. Mary (ErlaFaye Forsyth) is a stoical, church-going Catho-lic mother of two whose favourite expression,whenfrustrated, is“Goshit inyourhat.”Shedis-sesBiblicalmothers,saying,“Theyfloattheirba-bies down the river in baskets,” and scornfully,“They have babies in their 80s.” Her irreverencefor everything with the exception of the NewYork Knicks and TV talk shows are what providelevity to an otherwise sombre story.

Far from preaching to us, Bill has doubtsand asks, “Does God answer prayers?”Clearly he doesn’t because right off the topwe know that Bill’s mother has just died along and agonizing death.

How To Write A New Book For The Bible is au-tobiographical and it’s told in flashbacks andflashforwards from the point-of-view of Cain. Itdocuments the indignities of dying in all its fero-cious minutiae. The strength of this play lies notinplotpointsbut intherelationshipbetweenBill

and Mary and all the emotions — positive andnegative — that are the characteristics of love.

It is a great pleasure to see Ingram and For-syth working together. The story moves backand forth in time so we see Mary as a young,energetic mother of two bickering boys andlater, an aging Mary gripped with pain. Forsythis the mistress of dry, withering sarcasm: “Youdon’t have a job,” Mary says to Bill. “You’re awriter.” There’s plenty of this kind of acidic rep-artee and Forsyth and Ingram do it so well.

Ingramisboththemaincharacterandthenar-rator. The fourth wall is down and, much of thetime, Bill addresses us directly with self-effacingcandour. Ingram offers a man full of the contra-dictions we have with those we love: frustration,affection, anger, irritation and compassion.

Daniel Arnold, as Bill’s brother Paul, is ap-propriately strung out and tense. Arnoldmakes us painfully aware of the longing Paulhas for Mary’s love and approval. She’s onehard mother to please. Bryan Noble, as Bill’sdeceased father Pete, is a ghostly character thatflows in and out of the play. He and Arnold alsotake on various other roles throughout.

Without really fine performances, How ToWrite—albeit itwittyandfunny—wouldbejustanother story of the death of someone’s mother.Fortunately, this quartet of excellent performersmakes this production very satisfying and, if notactually uplifting, at least not tear-jerkingly sad.

arts&entertainmentFilmmaker figures out father issues at DOXA

It was meant to be a docu-mentary about her 73-year-old father’s relationshipwith his 23-year-old Filipino

girlfriend he met online. Instead,April Butler’s journey detouredinto an exploration of her own re-lationship with her dad.

Father Figures, which Butlermade with filmmaker GillianHrankowski, premieres May 11 atthe DOXA Documentary Film Fes-tival, which runs May 3 to 12.

“The story, the older man, youngerwoman, it’s been done,” Butler said.“But no one’s ever had this access. It’smyfather,myfuturestepmother...Westayed at their house. We got to reallysee their relationship, which I haven’tseen in other documentaries. Thatwas really appealing... just to be ableto really get into the depth of story.”

It took Butler a while to decide tofocus her lens on her father’s rela-tionship. But reactions she received

when she told others her father wasdating a woman 50 years his juniormotivated her to dive in.

“It was surprising to me becausea lot of men would go, ‘Good forhim!’ And I thought, really? Thatjust seems wrong,” she said.

Best friends Butler and Hrankows-ki, who met in 2008 when they madethe Leo-nominated documentary TheBrothelProject, travelledfromVancou-ver to the Philippines in 2011. Butlerwas nervous to meet what could beher future stepmother who was halfher age and cynical but hopeful she’dsee their irregular relationship wasbased on love and made sense.

Early on, Butler interviews her73-year-old father from Kamloops,Dale, about the relationship. Shealso interviews his girlfriend,Girlie, visits her family home anddiscusses the relationship withGirlie’s mother.

But having learned her father haslied to Girlie and told her he’s beena successful businessman and a mil-lionaire, on the eve of their weddingButler has to decide what to do. Lit-tle does she know something evenmore shocking awaits her.

Whentheviewer’snotseeingButlerpointing her camera at Dale or Girlie,

they’re seeing her trying to processher feelings, speaking directly to it.

“A lot of the times I’m talking verycomfortably to the camera, but that’sbecause I’m talking to Gillian,” But-ler said. “When things became really,really hard it was still because of ourrelationship. That’s what makes thefilm so raw and open.”

Being behind the camera freedButler to ask questions she wouldhave never otherwise dreamt ofasking her father.

“There was that balance of be-ing his daughter and doing my joband being a responsible filmmakerand asking the questions that peo-

ple are going to want to know [theanswers to],” Butler said.

But none of it was easy.“It was a horrible time in my life

and it’s hard to have that shown toeverybody,” Butler said.

She ultimately decided finishingthe film was worth it because shebelieved she had a story to tell thatwas bigger than her relationshipwith Dale.

She and Hrankowski hope audi-ence members will leave thinkingabout the entitlement Westernmen feel to have relationshipswith much younger women whofeel these older men are their only

avenue out of poverty.“The other part of this is that ev-

erybody goes along with their livesand says, ‘Oh yeah, everything’scool,’ and they put on this happy,shiny face and everybody looks greaton Facebook and nobody really talksabout the shit that goes down in ourlives,” Butler said. “If people were alot more honest about what’s goingon, we could support each other bet-ter and we wouldn’t be trying for thisutopia life that is not attainable.”

People who’ve learned about Fa-ther Figures have told Butler theytoo struggle with their fathers andthey wish they could talk to theirdads more directly.

But she anticipates some won’t ap-preciate the frank look at her father.

“My openness I hope doesn’t comeand bite me in the ass,” she said.

Kerrisdale LittleLeague opened its55th season Satur-day, three months

before the community clubhosts the best in B.C. for theLittle League Champion-ships.

Six hundred young ath-letes marked opening day bymarching in the annual Ker-risdale Village Carnival Dayparade down 41st Avenue tothe baseball diamonds at ElmPark.

“The atmosphere was fan-tastic,” said past presidentJenny Pearson. “We are luckythat we’re in the middle of agreat community. The kidsset the tone of the day and,for them, it’s the best of theyear. It’s the day kids wait forfor 12 months when they canparade in their uniform andfeel proud.”

Players aged four to 12 pa-raded in step with 58 teams,each carrying the name oftheir sponsors on a placard,like nations entering theOpening Ceremony to com-mence the Olympics. Mer-chants and businesses in the

immediate community com-mit to sponsoring teams, saidPearson.

“Most of the sponsors yousee on kids’ uniforms are[from businesses] up anddown 41st Avenue,” she said.The businesses with the lon-gest-standing commitmentsinclude Kerrisdale Lumberand Hills, while businessesto recently support teams in-clude The Secret Tea Gardenand Provident Security.

For the first time in club his-tory, Kerrisdale Little League

was asked to host the 2013B.C. Little League Champi-onships. From July 20 to 28at Elm Park, it will host eightteams from each of the prov-ince’s regional districts, whichwill compete for the chanceto represent B.C. at the Cana-dian Little League Champion-ships set for August in GlaceBay, Nova Scotia.

“It’s an honour,” said Pear-son, who anticipates dailycrowds numbering up to 500people.

“A large part will be from

our community,” she said,noting games will be well at-tended by the families of vis-iting players and spectatorsfrom across Vancouver andthe suburbs. “Three games inone day on a gorgeous, sunnysummer day — I think peoplewill come down to the park towatch baseball.”

Kerrisdale’s all-star teamwill earn an automatic berthto the tournament while theother Little Leagues in Dis-trict 1, including Dunbar,Jericho and past B.C. cham-pions from Little Mountain,will each compete for a sec-ond berth.

The 2012 hosts in Trail,B.C., described an extremelypositive tournament and ex-perienced a net benefit to thecommunity, said Pearson. Shesaid Kerrisdale will recreate asimilar vibe.

“We’re really going to tie itinto our community and geteveryone involved so it feelslike a small town in a big city,”she said. “We want the 120kids playing in this tourna-ment to never forget it andgive them a really great LittleLeague experience.”

The Saints blanked their archrivals 21-0 after disman-tling all opponents through the round robin and elimina-tion stages on their way to the championship.

St. George’s captain Harjun Gill and a relentless physicaland defensive style proved unbeatable. Against ShawniganLake, the U18 provincial sevens player added a try to punc-tuate a 50-metre sprint assisted on a field chip from fellowB.C. teammate Karsten Leitner. Winger Theo Sauder, also aprovincial player, scored two tries.

Magee and Lord Byng were both eliminated inthe semifinals. The Magee Lions were the only teamto count points against St. George’s but lost 17-31to Elgin Park in a Plate Semifinal. In a Bowl Semifi-nal, the Lord Byng Grey Ghosts fell 12-19 to RobertBateman. To reach the championship, St. George’s posted171 points and allowed only 14 to Magee when the Lionstested the Saints in a quarterfinal.

This Friday Guy Smeeth will return to Scotland fora seventh time to challenge himself, his Gas Gas280 Pro, and the Highland terrain at the 89th rid-ing of the Scottish Six Days Trial.

The motorcycle trial, a legendary test of rider enduranceand machine reliability, dates to 1911 when the first contes-tants went on a six-day motorcycle tour of Scotland to JohnO’Groats at the country’s extreme northern coastline beforereturning to Edinburgh.

Now the oldest motorcycle trial in the world, the ScottishSix Days Trial still aims to be the most testing event of its kind.Contestants like Smeeth, a 51-year-old rider from the EastSide, cover up to 100 miles each day over potholed moorland,water-logged bogs, creeks, forest, and trail-thin public roads.The sun will shine, it will almost certainly rain and even on theeve of summer, it may snow.

Smeeth likens his passion for the race to an addiction. Andlike any drug, he remembers his greatest hit.

“It was a day in 2002,” he said of his second attempt at theScottish Six Day Trial. “I had a really good final day and itmade me realize, based on that day, that my riding ability ispotentially good enough to win a first class award. It got me togo back the next year and I haven’t repeated that day.”

On his best day, Smeeth scored 50 points.Like another individually testing sport of Scottish origin,

the Six Day Trial rewards low scores. Mistakes are punishedby points, meaning the score closest to zero is the best, “kind oflike golf,” Smeeth said. Each observed section is closely moni-tored by officials with the Edinburgh and District Motor Clubwho track errors and demerits.

The top flight of 50 riders are deemed “special first class,”such as six-time champion Dougie Lampkin. Smeeth ex-plained: “these guys are the world champions or the reallyyoung stars.” The next 80 riders are considered “first class”and usually score 320 points over the course of six days.

“This is contested by some of the best riders in the world or byaverage guys like me who just want to get through it,” he said.

The trial takes place only in daylight, meaning riders mustmeet time requirements on terrain at the same latitude asnorthern B.C. More than 400 people from around the worldapply for entry, but a random ballot limits contestants to 275.

The best result for a Canadian was recorded in 1984 whenStan Bakgaard finished 13th overall. Smeeth, Bakgaard and athird rider will contest the course together. The advantage liesin sharing tools, as well as motivation.

The demands of the motorcycle trial are simple. Don’t stop,don’t put your foot down and don’t move anywhere but for-ward. Each mistake brings a demerit — but riders are dingedone point each for only the first five foot faults —and stoppingis a failure, which can result in disqualification.

“It’s not a dangerous sport but when you’re going up slip-pery, steep rocks with slime and water running down, youroverride mechanics are preventing you from giving youa full effort, you end up being cautious and you fail as a re-sult,” said Smeeth. “You have to go at this stuff with absoluteconfidence.”

Precision, determination and guts are rewarded. Unlike in

motor racing, speed is not king.“It’s not just about winging it and hoping for the best,” he

said.Before the personal accomplishment of his 50-point Satur-

day a decade ago, Smeeth attempted the trial in 2000 and af-terward vowed he’d never be back.

“It was my first time and it was so difficult, so hard, as I wasfinishing, I said quite out loud, ‘Expletive — What was I think-ing? I’ll never do that again,’” he said.

He met fellow competitors at the finish line and, in his post-trials exhaustion, promised none of them would see him nextyear. The promise of doing better lured him back.

“After about a week of warming myself in Spain, I started toread through my journal and started to realized I was infect-ed. I realized it was really awesome, so challenging and suchmemories. I thought I’d do it again. Every time is supposed tobe the last. I guess always feeling I can do better than I have,”he said. “I always know I can do better that I have.”

Smeeth, who has two daughters who show a passion for rid-ing even though they’re not yet teens, will purchase his bike inScotland and will opt for a 150-pound light and maneuverableGas Gas that can’t legally be ridden on the street in Canada.A member of the Canadian Pacific Trials Association, Smeethsays one of the few areas sanctioned for off-road riding is inthe surrounding rain forest near their clubhouse in Ioco.

“It’s not that well known but people are always welcome,”he said.

“We’re very fortunate in Vancouver for the sport of observedtrials. It’s rare to be in a metropolitan area and have an area soclose at hand. Most people ride motorcycles off-road have togo to Hope or beyond to ride.”

Although he once attempted the trial — and finished — witha feverish flu in 2007 and a crippling torn shoulder tendon in2011, Smeeth will tackle the Six Days Trial healthy this year.

But he knows better than to set a specific goal.“It’s kind of important not to have expectations less you be

disappointed,” he said. “If I had to put a number to it, I wantto finish in the top 200, maybe inside top 175, that’s a realisticgoal. I want to put in good rides each day.”

The Scottish Six Days Trial runs May 3 to 11. Follow live re-sults at ssdt.org.

Trying to decipher the Vancouver Canucks playoffschances is a bit like unravelling the clues in a DanBrown novel.

Vancouver’s crusade to finally win a StanleyCup won’t challenge the standard religious beliefs likeBrown’s The Da Vinci Code, but the faith of local fans hasalready been shaken by the Canucks’ performance downthe stretch of this abbreviated NHL season.

Vancouver had nothing to prove in the last week ofthe season, but there still is a difference between los-ing games that don’t matter and being beaten, badly insome cases. After playing maybe their best game of theyear in a 3-1 win over the Presidents’ Trophy-winningChicago Blackhawks, the Canucks were beaten 3-1 by anAnaheim Ducks team that rested several stars and wereembarrassed 7-2 by an Edmonton Oiler club that missedthe playoffs.

You can place an asterisk beside the Edmonton loss.Veterans like Daniel Sedin, Alex Burrows, Alex Edler,Dan Hamhuis and Jason Garrison didn’t dress. HenrikSedin played just 22 seconds to keep his 629-game Iron-man streak alive. But giving up seven goals is never good,especially when the goaltender is Roberto Luongo, whocould be in net when the playoffs begin if Cory Schneiderhasn’t recovered from whatever his injury is.

“Not the ideal way to finish the season but we will haveto put this one behind us and get ready for the playoffs,”defenceman Kevin Bieksa told reporters in Edmonton.

So what can fans expect when the Canucks face the SanJose Sharks in the first round of the playoffs Wednesdaynight at Rogers Arena? The Canucks, who finished theseason with a 26-15-7 record and 59 points for the thirdseed in the Western Conference, take a different perspec-tive into this year’s Stanley Cup tournament. Players re-alize the sands of time are trickling out of Vancouver’shourglass.

“Obviously, the window is closing,” agreed Burrows.“Maybe it feels a little bit different, but we know that ourexpectations in this locker-room are the same.”

The Canucks had the best record in the NHL the twoprevious seasons. They rolled into the playoffs picked asCup favourites. This year six other teams, three in theWest, have better records than Vancouver.

“We shouldn’t be afraid of any team,” said Henrik Se-din. “We’re confident in our group. But I think you haveseven other teams that are feeling the same way.”

San Jose and Vancouver have met just once before inthe playoffs. The Canucks beat the Sharks in five gamesto advance to the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.

This season, the Sharks finished sixth in the West witha 25-16-7 record for 57 points but have just one win intheir last four games. Vancouver struggled against theSharks during the regular season, managing just one

point in three games. The Sharks beat the Canucks 4-1and 3-2 in San Jose and won a 3-2 shootout at RogersArena. San Jose is still a better matchup up for Vancouverthan the Los Angeles Kings or St. Louis Blues would havebeen, two very physical teams that would have tested theCanucks’ endurance.

To beat the Sharks, the Canucks will have to cool offSan Jose’s hot goaltender Antti Niemi.

“He’s the reason we’re in the post-season,” said Sharkscaptain Joe Thornton. “When you’ve got a great goalten-der like that, you can ride him a long time.”

The Sharks have three players who have scored 15 or

more goals this shortened season: Logan Couture (21),Patrick Marleau (17) and Joe Pavelski (16). Daniel Sedinleads the Canucks with 12 goals. The Canucks want toavoid a repeat of last year when they were beaten in thefirst round by the eighth-seeded Kings. A healthy RyanKesler has improved the Vancouver power play and add-ed some toughness.

Vancouver will beat the Sharks, probably in six games.Whether the Canucks have the ability to win a secondround of the playoffs is another story.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 2013 THE VANCOUVER COURIER A31

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners:23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnacesfor $1181 with Off-Season Central Air ...”

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014*(This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear FriendI’m about to make you a deal that’s

hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older”(and probably less than optimally efficient)furnace.I’ll replace your old furnace AND heatpump as a “package deal” for at least$3136.00 less than you would pay any othertime of the year.

Sound too good to be true?It’s not and here’s why. I’m making

you what sounds like an unbelievable offerbecause it actually makes good sense for mybusiness. And you come out a winner, as well!

You see, I know from experience that inmy slowest months I actually end up losingmoney ... then I have to spend the rest of theyear trying to make up for it. Right now, Ihave no reason to believe 2013 will be anydifferent.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up tryingto make a profit during these months andminimize my losses ... so I can come outahead the rest of the year.So here’s how I can make the incredibleoffer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnacemanufacturers guesstimate how manyfurnaces to produce. Since there’s no way ofknowing what the weather will be like andother factors that affect sales, these guysalways have leftover inventory they have tohold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in thisand went to one of these biggie companies(they won’t allow me to use their name inthis letter) and contracted for the purchaseof these furnaces that were going to just besitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumpsall in the 3 most popular sizes used in LowerMainland homes.

Because of the number I bought andthe time of year I purchased them, I got anunbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these are brand-new, top quality, 2013 models. Not “seconds.”Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These arepremium furnaces and heat pumps fresh froma name-brand factory with a full factorywarranty.How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace forVirtually Nothing

By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century”), goingthrough some heavy negotiations with the

manufacturer, and then committing to buying23 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnaceAND the heat pump at a price that wouldhave made Sam Walton proud. This meanswhen you buy one of these 23 new, premium-quality heat pumps I will “give” you thefurnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 inlabor it costs to install your furnace.Pick up your phone right now

Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytimeso I can come out and measure your home(to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matchedsystems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let meknow VERY SOON that you’re interested.When these 23 systems are gone, they’regone, and this offer is null and void. Call meright now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you howmuch the heat pump costs ... how muchthe furnace WOULD have cost ... and yoursavings when you buy your new heat pumpand furnace as part of this special offer. Theprice I show you will include all installationmaterials and labor. There’s no fine print,nothing left out.Earlier I said that making you this amazingoffer is also good business for me

The way I look at it, by letting YOU winbig now, I’ll win at the end of the year. AndI won’t have to “make up” for the lost salesduring my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutelyirresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing8 years or more ... and if I barely mark upthe price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 majorobjectives that will allow me to reduce mylosses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities,insurance and taxes) during the slowperiod

• Keep my service & installationtechnicians busy enough to pay them towork instead of sit at home.As you can see, when you take me up

on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of theCentury,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER!And by the way, there’s no obligation whenyou have me come out to measure yourhouse and explain the installation

If you decide you don’t want to takeadvantage of this incredible deal (althoughI can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want tosave this kind of money), it’s no problem.You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, justfor taking time to read this letter and havingme out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a

Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value).Why? Even if we don’t do business togethernow, I want you to remember us in the future.If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heatpump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!You don’t have to pay me right now

Because I’ve tried to think of every reasonpossible why you WOULDN’T take me upon this spectacular offer, I’ve even madearrangements for a super bank rate financingplan. And I’m not “marking up” the interestrate like so many other companies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’spossible that with this financing plan yourmonthly investments in a new system couldbe more than paid for by the savings you seeon your monthly utility bills.My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee

Talking about lower utility bills, I’m sosure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in yourheating and cooling bills (in reality, it maybe more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay youtwice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new, first-quality furnace virtually free, plus a first-quality heat pump at a great price, I guaranteeyou’ll lower your heating and cooling billsby at least 25% or I’ll pay you double yoursavings for 2 years. (This alone shouldconvince you that these systems are someof the very best quality and most efficientavailable).But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends April 30thno matter what

Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I haveonly 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of theair conditioners are sold and all the furnaces“given away” in a certain size, the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systemsleft on April 30th, this offer still ends. Thereason is that my business only slows downfor a short time. Since these furnaces cost meso little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them nextwinter at last year’s prices and still come outahead.So call me right now at 946-1000

Thanking you in advance,Scott Campbell

OwnerP.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and -

even if you change your mind once I measureyour house and give you the estimate - youstill get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

*W.A.C. - with approved credit. Cannot be combined with other offers.
