Get the best seats in the house. At 10:30 p.m. on Friday, July 1,

Vancouver’s night sky will be ablaze with skyrockets and horsetails. It’s all part of the 5th annual Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show cel-ebrating Canada’s birthday. Two barges full of fireworks will be place in the inlet — one near Canada Place and the other in Dundarave in West Vancouver.

“It’s a big show,” said Christie Rosta, the District of West Vancouver’s special events coor-dinator.

Before the evening of synchronized blasts — viewers can listen to a live simulcast by Shore 104.3 FM — the municipality’s John Lawson Park will be a hive of party activities. Dress up in your best red and whites and enjoy a selection of yummy treats. The afternoon is packed with

musicians hitting the outdoor stage. Performers include crowd favourites such as

Celtic gypsy punk rockers The Whiskey Dicks and internationally acclaimed dance party band Famous Players.

“It’s all ages, toe-tapping,” Rosta said of the music.

Rosta’s favourite part of the celebration is the official ceremony and the colour party.

“I like watching all the kids dancing in front of the stage,” she adds.

The district is asking people to consider alter-native modes of transportation — such as cycling, walking, or parking at Park Royal Shopping Centre and walking to the event area. Parking and vehicle access along the waterfront will be restricted.

Additional Blue Bus services will be available after the fireworks along Marine Drive between 13th and 25th Street and at Park Royal Shopping Centre.

The spokesperson of the Safeway site project planning team is waiting to hear back

from the owner on the develop-ment’s fate.

Last week, West Vancouver coun-cil voted to encourage H.Y. Louie Group, the owner of the 1.4-acre lot at 1650 Marine Drive, to carry out further community engagement and revise its development proposal. The next move now sits with H.Y. Louie Group.

“It is a question of what the owner wants to do under the cur-rent circumstances,” Andrew Pottinger said.

The planning team is encouraged by council’s acknowledgement that the project — Ambleside Centre — is an important component of the

area’s revitalization, he said. H.Y. Louie Group originally unveiled two designs for the lot. Both includ-ed a 41,000-square-foot food store below street level, 16,800 square feet of above ground retail and office space and between 144 and 154 residents units.

The difference between the designs was the height of the resi-dential towers — one stood at 15 stories, while the other was 10 sto-ries tall.

Although the district elected that the plans presented not be consid-ered further, future designs for the site will likely include a residential component because it is outlined for that area in the Official Community Plan, Pottinger noted.

“I don’t think any kind of rede-velopment of that site would be contemplated without residential,” he said.

H.Y. Louie Group has alterna-tive options when it comes to the site, Pottinger said. It could simply renew its lease with Safeway or build another food store on the lot.

“The owner is going to decide what to do,” he said.

Protesters rally for Squamish Nation council to step downREBECCA ALDOUS

S T A F F R E P O R T E R

Yesterday morning, members of the Squamish Nation gathered at their council office demanding the chief’s and council’s

resignation. Armed with a petition signed by 550 members,

the rally called for a temporary council to take over governance until an election can be held.

“Members are afraid [chief and council] are negotiating self-government,” Squamish activist Jo-Ann Nahenee said.

Chief and council already have the power to decide who can live on reserve and who can’t, she said. Placing further control, such as health insurance, in their hands would weaken mem-bers’ rights, she added.

Members are kept in the dark when it comes to council’s business, including the nation’s actions with its land, she said. The Squamish community wants transparent and accountable politicians, Nahenee added.

“There is a sense of urgency and fear among members because they don’t know where they stand,” she said.

Squamish Chief Gibby Jacob speculates the unrest is related to a recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling regarding the Capilano R.V. Park. Court documents state the nation filed a lawsuit against the Baker family for $500,000 in unpaid rent and asked the court to declare the land theirs. In April, the nation won the suit.

The Bakers are members of the Squamish Nation and many people are siding with them, Jacob said.

Last week, he added, council had a presenta-tion from the First Nations Health Council. Its mission is to imple-ment the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan and support First Nations to determine and achieve their own health outcomes.

Such a move is a big decision and not one council would take lightly, Jacob said, add-ing health care is a cornerstone of a com-munity. Currently, the nation subsidizes some health fees not covered by the federal govern-ment — such as dental costs and eye care, he said.

“We haven’t made a decision yet,” Jacob said, noting it would have to go to the com-

munity before moving forward. As for the nation’s land, any change in land

designation goes to a designation vote, in which the nation’s voting-age members take part, Jacob said. Only if the vote wins with 50 per cent sup-port plus one will the designation go through.

The nation held such a vote with development plans to build two towers on 8.6 acres of the band’s traditional land at the south end of the Burrard Bridge, adjacent to the Molson Brewery. The vote garnered an 80 per cent approval rat-ing.

“There is no government in this country that can boast this kind of support,” Jacob said.

Such development is needed to support the nation, he said. The nation’s population is one of the fastest growing demographics in the country. Its membership of 3,700 people is expected to double within the next 30 years. Sixty per cent of its current community is under the age of 25, while 50 per cent is under the age of 19.

On the Burrard land, the nation is proposing to construct a 36- and possibly 41-storey tower. Cost for the construction of the first building would be covered by a development company and the nation will sell profits, Jacob said.

Income from the first rental-unit tower will pay for the second one, which will then be 100 per cent owned by the band, Jacob said. This development will produce long-term sustainable revenue for the next generation, he said.

As for the rally’s demands, council was duly elected by its members, Jacob said. Chief and council will remain in their positions until the next election in December of 2013.

“We have a legal duty to ensure the interests of our collective membership,” he said.

Council’s business goes through public scrutiny, says chief

Forget cutting through red tape; the Marine Life Sanctuaries Society of B.C. is simply ignoring it.

The society’s president, Roy Mulder, says he’s tired of seeing government studies on what marine habitats should be protected collect dust. Of the embarrassingly few marine life sanctuaries in B.C., many of them have levels of protection but few fall under full “no take zones,” says the North Vancouver resident.

Mulder has been diving for 22 years. He says he’s seen how ineffective these levels of protec-tions are. He’s found fishing lures that are stuck in, or have torn through, corals and sponges and hauled out abandoned crab traps that turn into “killing machines.” Mulder has also seen people catch rockfish and release them back into the water not realizing that by bringing the fish to the sea’s surface, the creatures’ swim bladders expand resulting in death.

Recently divers and scientists have noticed signs of life returning to Howe Sound. But with-out help and protection the marine environment has little to no chance of full recovery, Mulder says.

“We can’t wait for government,” he adds.And so the society has taken matters into its

own hands. Its members took a pledge to vol-untarily refrain from extracting marine organ-isms out of marine conservation areas and other marine reserves. Now it’s challenging North

Shore residents to follow suit. “Fish aren’t cute and cuddly,” Mulder says. “If

they had fur they would be easier to protect.”There are three parts to the society’s grassroots

movement — education, stewardship and protec-tion. This month the organization met with stu-dents on Bowen Island. The pupils gathered on a beach while divers brought up species for view-ing. The society has also created videos of marinelife in Howe Sound to take to West and North Vancouver schools.

The stewardship part of the initiative involves residents becoming aware of locally protected marine areas and reporting and recording any violations in those zones.

And the final component is the “no take” pledge. Simply put, the plan is to encourage the community to feel ownership of its marine habi-tat.

“I think it is the only way we will be successful at saving it,” Mulder says.

Twelve years ago the society’s members used tohelp conduct an annual fish count. The surveys stopped when the counts got so small; it wasn’t worth the divers’ time, Mulder says. He’s excited for the day when the fish numbers are up again.

“I am passionate about this because of what I have seen in a very short period of time,” Mulder says. “We can make a change.”

Practise makes perfect on simulator

North Van’s BCIT Campus installs a new multi-million dollar marine simulator to trains students and marine professionals alike

In Capt. John Clarkson’s office, there are more framed commendations than open real estate on the walls. It’s been a life devoted to the

sea for Clarkson, a master mariner, and the years have increased the number of credentials he can add to his name.

But Clarkson’s focus these days, as it’s been since he became the head of BCIT’s Marine Campus, isn’t just the waterways and coastlines of British Columbia, it’s the students. As the only marine training facility of its kind in Western Canada — other such institutions can only be found in Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland — the Marine Campus has been at the core of such studies for students on this side of the country for years.

But with time comes change. Part of the education provided at the campus has been simulator-facilitated training. Students, for the past two decades, have learned various ship operations with the help of a simu-lator but, as technology tends to demand, an upgrade was necessary.

So, in partnership with Transport Canada and with input from BC Ferries and other marine corporations, BCIT recently launched a new multi-million dollar marine simulator — a bench-mark for marine training in Canada.

“We had to make the change to meet industry needs,” says Clarkson. “And everything we do here is based on providing training for jobs and providing competence.”

The centrepieces of the new simulator are seven new ship bridges, the continent’s only 360-degree tug towboat simulator and an engine room simulator. Screens, wheels and more but-

tons than a reporter would ever know what to do with, line nearly every inch of engine simulator’s two rooms. Outside the simulator, desks, white-boards and overhead projectors fill traditional classrooms but this campus’ engine room is the stuff movie sets are made of.

Clarkson says the school’s instructors have more than 6,000 potential engine malfunctions they can test students with, making it the most advanced system of its kind in the world. And

when the audio system’s vibrat-ing, louder-than-a-laymen-would-expect special effects are engaged, headphones are a must.

“It’s science fiction,” says Sanjeev Sarwal, BCIT’s chief instructor of marine engineer-ing, with a smile.

Plans for the simulator aren’t restricted to the education of

the BCIT student body. Clarkson says marine businesses from the region will be using the simulator to practise various strategies and deter-mine if new plans can be executed or not. The cost effectiveness of such practise for marine pro-fessionals, he adds, is substantial.

“This is a big issue, businesses need to assess their ability to handle a response,” says Clarkson. “But the key factor remains realism, and per-forming in as real as possible situations. Things can become very complicated and technically oriented. Running a ship today is becoming more and more difficult; even the tugs take a high degree of skill to operate. This training allows for that without having to spend the money by going out there and actually doing it.”

The cat, the architect and one relenting house

West Vancouver Museum’s West Coast Modern Home Tour set to go

REBECCA ALDOUS


One of the first things Sherry Hancock noticed was the brown nylon carpet.

It was so thick the cat’s claws would get caught in it, making soft popping sounds as she tried to gingerly walk across the sitting room.

Then there were the pink walls and ceiling, Hancock adds with a frown. But looking past the gaudy facade, what she and her husband at the time, archi-tect Jim Hancock, both saw were good bones.

“I just knew I liked it,” she says while sitting in the open living area of the house she first entered 22 years ago.

What the Hancocks had stumbled onto was also a bit of an architectural mystery. The house, which was then the cheapest listing in West Vancouver, had all the tag marks of West Coast Style – a design genre that began in the late 1930s with the work of a few avant-garde architects in North America’s Pacific Northwest. The rectangular house is built on a rock at the end of

a cul-de-sac in Gleneagles. It blends in with the surrounding forest and its win-dows, running along one side, open up the living space to the outdoors. Then there are the heavy 15-inch wide beams in the ceiling, which illustrate early prin-ciples of mid-century post and beam design.

It was built in 1959, in a manner that resembled the work of famous Vancouver architecture firm Thompson, Berwick and Pratt. Founded in 1908 by Englishmen Charles Thompson and G.L.T. Sharp, the firm played a major role in the development of Vancouver’s and Canada’s architecture throughout the century. In 1913, the firm designed a large part of the University of British Columbia’s campus. Forty-four years later, it became internationally recog-nized for the B.C. Electric building on Burrard, which is now a residential tower known as the Electra.

For many years the Hancocks’ house was thought by some to be a Thompson, Berwick and Pratt design – that was until Kiriko Watanabe started investigating.

The West Vancouver Museum picked the house to be included in its West

Coast Modern Home Tour. As the museum’s assistant curator dug into the house’s history, Watanabe discov-ered it was built by Lauder and Tate. The Lauder in the company refers to Mel Lauder, a West Vancouver resident who built approximately 400 homes across the Lower Mainland, some of which housed Vancouver’s influential residents and are today recognized by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation. So Watanabe gave Lauder a ring.

“It surprised me,” Lauder says of the phone call. “We did a lot of houses on the North Shore. I didn’t every think I would get a phone call like that.”

Lauder started his company with his brother and a friend, Ken Tate. In the beginning, they designed and built houses, but as work picked up Lauder left the drawing part to the architects. He worked with many of Vancouver’s top names, including Barry Downs who started his career with Thompson, Berwick and Pratt.

“I guess it rubbed off on me,” the 88-year-old says.

WelcomeHome

Lauder still lives in West Vancouver, in a house he bought in the British Properties 62 years ago. Lauder built the Hancocks’ house for a friend – Gus Arnott. Arnott worked down at the then lumberyard at the northeast corner of

15th and Marine Drive. The wood for the house came from that yard.

Lauder is a little taken back by the interest in his buildings. A while ago he was asked as a guest on an architecture tour through Vancouver. Many of the people attending the event were very knowledgeable, he says. Then, a few years

ago, after the death of his brother, Lauder’s nephew, who is also a builder, ask Lauder to visit the houses he and his brother had built. His nephew wanted to photograph them for his records.

Houses today aren’t built the same, Lauder says, noting people seem to focus on size rather than design. However, it would be dif-ficult to emulate the post and beam architect, he says. When Lauder was in the business he could find perfect, straight beams that ran 40 feet in length.

“I think you would be hard pressed to get that nowadays,” he says, adding the 1,800-square-foot house the Hancocks call home cost $11,500 from ground to roof.

But that doesn’t mean today you can’t construct an interesting and affordable home; one just has to be creative, Lauder adds. Some things never change – good architecture is still good architecture.

It’s important to recognize B.C.’s great architects, Hancock says. As Langara College’s department chair of design formation and an artist herself, Hancock appreciates the thought and creativity that went into her home. Hancock, her two daughters and Jim worked hard to restore the building.

“I don’t think people realized [its architectural significance],” Hancock says. “It was begging to be rescued.”

When they first moved in the hot water tank was shot, the toilet didn’t work and they only had one working stove element. For a while they lived in the basement when the ceiling was given a new paint coat.

It wasn’t just the building that was molded over time, Hancock notes. The house changed them too. Daughter Stephanie pursued a career in interior designing while her other daughter Sara entered the health and nutrition field, which the house can take some credit, she says. Living among the trees

has made Hancock more aware of the environment. She notices the changes in the wind, the zigzag trails that “Mrs. Skunk” leaves in her garden and the raccoons that sometimes nosily peer through the kitchen window.

“You are totally in tune with nature,” she says, adding that a woodpecker has recently arrived in the neighbourhood.

There’s a serenity about the place, mixed with a family’s history. There’s the vegetation patch, where one Easter the family hooked up the mammoth oil tank to their old BMW’s bumper and put the foot to the pedal. (Surprisingly, the bumper didn’t rip off.) There’s also the new study, which once was the war zone for both her daughters’ clothes.

There’s also new history in the making, like the studio Hancock is setting up downstairs. It’s a place where, with the girls now grown up, she hopes to re-engage her passion for watercolours.

Hancock’s also thinking of taking a paintbrush to some of the house’s walls. She’s been researching the popular colours from the ’50s and ’60s.

It’s a difficult process, says David Alsop, North Shore Community Foundation presi-dent.

This year the organization, which manages approximately $2 million in more than 20 trust funds and uses the funds’ investment income for community grants, received approximately 35 applications for money. From those, 40 were chosen recipients receiving a total of $140,000.

“We did have a number of new [applicants]

this year,” Alsop says.Last year the foundation decided to cre-

ate fewer grants at a greater dollar amount. However, it quickly discovered this was difficult to achieve as the majority of its trusts are ear-marked for certain charities, Alsop says.

“We have a number of funds that basically are dictated or directed on where the [cash] goes,” he says.

For the $15,000 which was not already dedicated to charities, the foundation received $80,000 worth of requests. The foundation hopes to build on its “free” funds, Alsop notes.

The majority of the foundation’s grants run between $1,000 to $2,500. Recipients include groups such as the Highlands United Church. The church, in Edgemont Village, operates a hot lunch program every Saturday. Approximately 45 homeless individuals attend the meal. That figure jumped by 20 individuals from last year.


West Vancouver Community Foundation has some new names on its board.

Last week, the non-government, non-profit foundation selected four new directors.

Peter Ackhurst, Mark Ballard, Geoff Jopson and Nancy Farran will join 10 other directors to help oversee its funds.

Ackhurst is the manager of Whistler Community Forest. He’s been involved with the Rotary for many years and is past president of the Community Foundation of Whistler.

Ballard is a member of both the West and North Vancouver chambers of commerce. He also mentors young business students at Capilano University.

Jopson is a long-time resident of West Van. He recently retired as superintendent of West Vancouver School District. Jopson is a direc-tor of the West Vancouver Memorial Library

Foundation, a West Vancouver Memorial Library board trustee and a member of the B.C. School Superintendents’ Association.

Last but not least is Farran. She’s the vice-president and investment advisor at RBC Dominion Securities. Farran also sits on the board of St. Andrew’s Hall.

The new members will be stepping in to replace six departing directors, said Delaina Bell, the foundation’s executive director. Each one brings with them an expertise in a segment of the community, she noted. Jopson has many connec-tions with the schools, Ackhurst is engaged in environmental issues and Ballard and Farran are well known in West Van’s business community.d.

“We are happy to have them on board,” Bell said.

Since 1979, donors helped create the founda-tion’s charitable endowment of more than $3.5 million, investment income from which supports non-profit organizations, community projects and scholarships.

One Day in June.

Photos by Rob Newell.Storyline by Maria Spitale-Leisk

The calendar read the last Satur-day in June and the clouds were building. But the McKee family wasn’t about to be held hostage inside all day because of a little threat of rain.

The challenge: To see how much fun onefamily can squeeze into a Saturday on the North Shore. The McKees found lots to do; checking out everything from spa treatments to cars, computers, roofi ng options and jewellery…with plenty of time out for some serious play at Capilano River Regional Park. Parents to three sons between the ages of two and six, Carson and Ivy McKee are in the

market for a new vehicle. The Suzuki SX4 – available at North Vancouver Suzuki – is designed with young families in mind: com-fort and reliability are the main selling points. School may be out for the summer, how-ever, pre-kindergarten kid Brigsby McKee and his older brother, Dexter, are always learning something new on the computer. Westcoast Computers is the McKees’ one-stop shop for the latest computer accessories andservicing. What mom doesn’t deserve a little pamper-ing? Ivy checks in with Pender Medi Spa – just across the Lions Gate Bridge in Coal Harbour – to see about a massage and maybe some microdermabrasion.

Hot summer weather is on its way – which means it’s time to start thinking about outdoor home projects. Carson and Ivy are environmental-ists at heart. Enviroshake authentically replicates the look of a natural cedar shake, using 95 per cent recycled materials. Ivy’s birthday is coming in a couple weeks and Carson gets some hints from RomanceJewellers about fi nding a special present. Ivy has a penchant for multi-stone jewel necklaces and at Romance, he discoversexactly what she’s talking about. Take a look and see just exactly how theMcKees spent One Day in June.

JEWELLERSRomance


Boys of any age love cars. Ivy and Carson can attest to watching their sons roll micro machines across a linoleum fl oor while making vroom vroom noises. So when the McKee boys were told test-driving a new car at North Vancouver Suzuki was on the agenda, they became giddy.Ivy and Carson – and the kids – naturally gravi-tated towards the shiny red Suzuki SX4. Their previous vehicle was also that same fi ery hue. The North Vancouver Suzuki showroom pro-vided some entertainment for the kids – in the form of cartoons on the widescreen TV, and the comfy, leather chairs – while Ivy and Carson chatted with salesman Ed Clements about the details of the car. Before handing over the keys, Ed talked about the class-leading safety features in the SX4 Crossover including Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) with traction control, daytime running lights, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system and electronic brake-force dis-tribution and a tire pressure monitoring system. Ed explained that together with the traction control system, ESP helps ensure vehicle stabil-ity when cornering, accelerating, driving on slippery road conditions or conducting emer-gency maneuvers.As parents, Ivy and Carson can appreciate the added safety features of the SX4 crossover.The Suzuki SX4 Crossover – and all Suzuki models – are built in Japan to ensure thehighest quality and reliability. Afterwards, the McKees reported that Ed’s friendly demeanor and no-pressure advice was refreshing.

Crashed Computer?

Dwight Dubowits, owner of Westcoast/Concept Computers, explains the differences between the iPad2 and the Acer Iconia tablets.

These days, kids have a wealth of knowledge at their fi ngertips, and touch-screen computers make for fun and easy learning.

The Acer Z5700 is an all-in-one, touch screen, desktop PC -with all the bells and whistles.

“Westcoast Computers specialize in selling small form factor, quiet computers,” explains Westcoast owner, Dwight Dubowits.

Hand-held computers are the current craze, and the Acer Iconia Tab A500 and the Apple iPad 2 arecurrently duking it out in the electronics marketplace.

The Acer advantage is its Android operating system which allows the user to visit every website out there; meanwhile, Apple’s iPad 2 wins the contest for most applications and it’s a bit lighter than some of the other tablets.

Westcoast Computers prides itself on “doing the stuff that others stores won’t or can’t” when it comes to computer sales and servicing, such as data recovery, for example.

“Anybody can sell you a box; we teach you how to set up your computer properly,” says Dubowits.

Life has it’s moments...make them unforgettable.

A mom to three energetic young boys, Ivy McKee is in need of some time to herself. The tranquil environment at Pender Medi Spa is where she can unwind

with a rejuvenating spa treatment or a relaxing massage.

Ivy is looking to enhance her youthful looks with microdermabrasion - a sooth-ing, non-invasive treatment that removes the outer layer of dead skin cells from

the skin, using gentle exfoliation and suction.

“You’re so young and pretty,” exclaims Dr. Ralph Bieg, medical director at Pender Medi Spa – after carefully inspecting Ivy’s face.

While not recommended for Ivy, a non-surgical facelift - offered at Pender Medi Spa - is a safe and affordable solution for turning back the hands of time.

“There is minimal downtime,” promises Dr. Bieg.

Some laser treatments can leave temporaryredness on the skin. Colorescience powder makeup – with SPF 30 – has Ivy covered and ready to put her best face forward. $63.00

NV singer’s talent shines bright GREG HOEKSTRAS T A F F R E P O R T E R

North Vancouver resident Joy Ann Tucker is a rising star.

A senior star, that is.Earlier this month the local songstress won

top honours at the Senior Star talent competi-tion, hosted by Churchill House Retirement Community at the Presentation House Theatre.

Tucker placed first ahead of Ryszard Wrzaskala and Harold Olaussen. She won after performing “Sixty-Five,” a song and dance num-ber she wrote after turning 65 recently.

Nicole Shandler, spokesperson for Churchill House, said the Australian-born Tucker wowed judges with her performance, including District

of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, the North Shore Neighbourhood House’s Tricia Andrew, and The Outlook’s own columnist Catherine Barr.

“I had a feeling she might win,” said Shandler, who was a judge in the initial round. “She’s very flirty and full of pep.”

Shandler said Tucker’s song is a fun jab at growing older — something we all must face sooner or later.

“But the song basically tells women not to give up on themselves,” Shandler says. “She said she wants to share a message of hope with all.”

Senior Star, now in it’s fifth year, is Canada’s largest talent competition dedicated to seniors.

Tucker now has a chance to advance to the national finals in Niagara Falls this November.

11:00 am to 4:00 pm

I recently attended a celebration of life at Stanley Park for a friend who sadly lost his life while fulfilling a dream. I have spent

much time thinking about him and the times that we enjoyed together. We learn so much from oth-ers but sometimes don’t make that realization until they are gone.

I fondly remember many soccer games watch-ing our daughters and sharing conversations. He would stand in his rain gear tirelessly throw-ing the ball for his dog Tegan and our dog Mel. His smile was like his own personal billboard announcing to those around him that life was worth living. The more one got to know him, the more one realized that he took an active role in making that a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You see, this friendship was a gift. I have tears as I write this because I don’t

think I ever told him how much he meant to me. Why don’t we ever extend a compliment or a free hug to those who inspire us before it is too late?

He was a free spirit and I loved that about him. He rode his bike everywhere and lived life through his various adventures. During his cel-ebration of life I saw pictures of him poised atop of mountains and heard stories shared by others

who were as affected as I was with this loss. He raised his two children who have adopted

that same infectious appetite for life. Sadly, he doesn’t know but his actions have influenced me as well.

As I navigate new twists in this road of life, liv-ing as a boomer facing new challenges and deci-sions, I will remember his lust for life. He has taught me to make time for myself and to enjoy those simple pleasures that fulfill the heart and

make us stronger. Thank you for giving me

your gift of friendship and for showing me through your actions that we must live out our dreams because we never know when this precious life will end. Because of you, my free spirit lives on and I can

only hope that I can positively affect as many people as you have, and leave them wanting more.

Denise Kelly is a North Vancouver boomer proudly living with her two children, husband and dog Mel. She looks forward to sharing sto-ries to motivate others. Follow Denise on Twitter at ZoomerTalk or she can be reached at [email protected].

Seniors are invited to celebrate and com-memorate the wonderful heritage of B.C. Parks and the dedicated pioneers that

helped to establish them since 1911. The Elders Council for Parks in British

Columbia Society will host 10 free thematic events for seniors from June to October to cel-ebrate B.C. Parks’ centen-nial.

The first event is Thursday, July 14, at the beautiful rainforest of Mount Seymour Provincial Park.

During this trip Patricia Mason will read from jour-nals kept by artist Emily Carr during her sketching trips at Goldstream Flats near Victoria (now a B.C. Provincial Park).

It was there that Carr began a new phase of her artistic career by experimenting with “new ways of seeing and interpreting the forest.”

The inspiration she received through these observations of nature generated many of the unique images for which she became famous.

Join naturalist Kevin Bell for a nature walk, followed by a workshop with nature journalist

Rosemary Taylor, complete with a showing of her beautiful photographs.

“And another example of nature’s treats. We

were in Lighthouse Park just yesterday, when this Anna’s hummingbird came to get nectar

from the orange honey-suckle.”

- Emily Carr

WHEN: Thursday, July 14, at 10:30 a.m.

WHERE: Meet at 1620 Mount Seymour Road for a welcome and introduc-tion.

DIRECTIONS: Turn right at 1610 Mount Seymour Road (past Parkgate Community Centre) and the Mount Seymour Provincial Park sign. Continue along

driveway. The Heritage Centre is the little house on your right. The Heritage Centre is cur-rently not wheelchair accessible.

Registration is required due to limited space. Please contact Elise Roberts, Seniors Outreach Program Coordinator, at 604-986-4892 or [email protected].

“I’ve known Dr. Kwon since he did general dentistry a long time ago. I really enjoyed him whenever I visited his offi ce. As I got older, I eventually needed implants, so I went to his implant only practice in Metrotown. The staff at Chrysalis are real gems. They’re very kind, warm, and caring. From the fi rst visit to fi nish, it was a fantastic experience. Also, I’ve never had pain during and after the procedure. Dr. Kwon is like a magician and he is extremely humble and always a delight to talk with.” — Charlie 63

It’s a coastal Douglas fir for-est, Elspeth Bradbury says of Lighthouse Park.

And it’s never been logged, Areta Sanders adds. The tall trees were needed as a dark backdrop to the rotating light. They were also used as firewood.

Bradbury and Sanders are both members of the Lighthouse Park Preservation Society. Each has her own passion within the six-park network the society stewards.

For Bradbury it’s plants. She’s spent countless hours pull-ing out invasive spe-cies in the woods and whenever she wan-ders through the trees she notices her enemies – ivy, blackberry bushes and Lamium. Bradbury also takes time to appreciate her favourites such as the fawn lilies.

For Sanders it’s the birds. She’s found a bald eagle’s nest in one of the parks, but won’t say where it is to protect it from a slew of visitors. In the 1970s, ruffed grouse called Lighthouse Park

home but as the community grew up around the park, they disap-peared.

These parks are becoming islands within urban neighbour-hoods, they both agree. As this happens it is important to pro-tect the native species and edu-cate people on what actions may harm the park’s delicate eco-sys-tems, Bradbury says. That’s one

of the main rea-sons the soci-ety is hosting a photography contest. Open to the public, participants are encourage to take photos that illustrate the fragility and diversity, as well as the beauty, of Lighthouse, Klootchman,

Trails, The Dale, Caulfeild and North Piccadilly park.

“We are doing this to reach beyond the environmental com-munity,” Bradbury says.

The work can be in black and white or colour. Manipulated images are acceptable. Bradbury wants people to have fun and be creative.

There is no entry fee and

images must be handed in by the end of August. Up to three images can be entered per per-son. A jury consisting of mem-bers from the society, the North Shore Photographic Society, West Van Seniors’ Photo Club and Nature Vancouver will review the submissions. Selected pho-tos will then be put on display at the West Vancouver Memorial Library for two months –from Nov. 6, 2011, to Jan. 8, 2012. Photographers in the show will

be asked to cover the costs of printing, matting and framing their work.

Originally from Scotland, Bradbury says she is always amazed by how much there is to see in the local parks. There are a whole cast of charac-ters, from the moss clinging to rocky bluffs to noisy woodpeck-ers. Lighthouse Park is the only coastal fir forest in the Lower Mainland, she notes.

“They are very precious,”

Bradbury says of West Van’s green space.

To enter, email your photos to [email protected] before August 31. Use the subject line LPPS Photo Exhibition. Send images, along with your name, email address and phone number, as full resolution JPEG files. For more information call 604-469-1651.

“Go wild,” Bradbury says. raldous@northshoreoutlook.

Hollyburn’s VanOpen attracts top tennis playersSEAN KOLENKO


From the upper deck of the Hollyburn Country Club, Downtown Vancouver

appears quiet, its rat race all but silenced by the Burrard Inlet.

The noise from this vantage point is a decidedly less intrusive — no engines, horns or squealing brakes. It’s tennis that fills the air. And with last week’s announce-ment of a $25,000 boost to the Hollyburn-hosted Odlum Brown VanOpen women’s prize money, the sound of professional tennis will be a staple at the club for years to come.

“When you start a professional tournament, it’s not easy to keep it, or professional sports, around,” Ryan Clark, tournament director and CEO of Tennis BC, told The Outlook.

“And with this announcement we’ve proved we can keep it here.”

With the added $25,000, the VanOpen now offers a $100,000 purse for female competitors,

equal to that of the men’s draw. Clark hopes the jump in prize money will help organizers attract more young stars to West Vancouver, making the early August tourney a staple for play-ers leading up to the U.S. Open later that month.

The tournament’s 140 players and their agents, coaches and family members staying in the area for a week makes the tour-nament a boon for local busi-nesses as well.

North Shore tennis lovers, added Clark, will also benefit from the learning experience of having notable stars, of which Maria Sharapova and Andy Murray are alumni, in their back-yards. Coaches, for instance, can continue coming to the event to see top world coaches in action and take what they learn back to their clubs. It’s all part, he said, of cultivating an international sports culture.

“It’s great to have this tourna-ment here, see the pros here,” said 13-year-old Kyryll Kryvchun, B.C.’s top under-14 male player

and a top-eight national competi-tor.

“It’s great to have them teach us about tennis.”

For North Van’s Stacey Fung, a top-four national player and under-14 doubles national cham-pionship winner, the chance to study the pros’ demeanor under pressure is invaluable.

“I want to see their attitudes on court,” she said. “I want to see their attitudes, how they come back from being down.”

Both Stacey and Kyryll attend nearby Sentinel secondary school and are a few years from leaving the high school ranks behind, but both have their eyes fixed on ath-letic scholarships or the profes-sional tour when the time comes.

“This past year has brought a big growth spurt and it’s really helping his game,” added Chris Stead, one of Kyryll’s coaches and head tennis pro at the West Vancouver Tennis Club.

“He’s going to be a big power player and having great young players like him seeing top pro-fessionals up close is great. It will

give them the inspiration to say ‘I can do this.’”

The Odlum Brown VanOpen runs from August 1 — 7, with qualifying rounds on July 30 and

31. For full tournament details visit www.vanopen.com.

Local divers heading to Canadian championshipsFour teenagers from the North Shore Dolphin Dive Club have qualified to compete in the Canadian Jr. National Diving Championships in Quebec in July. Alison Komlos, Rebecca Underdown, Nick Nepomuceno and Sam Braun each earned their place at the nationals by achieving top scores not once, but twice, at provincial level competitions. Komlos and Nepomuceno each qualified on two boards, one and three metres, surpassing the required scores on each board of 190 for the 1 m and 200 for the 3m. Underdown will compete on the 1 m, readily achieving more than the required 245 pts for her age category. Braun pulled off an amazing three qualifications, with scores topping the requisite 230 on1 m, 240 on 3 m and 225 on tower. Team members consistently achieve podium placement thanks to their own determination and to their coach Kostya Karibyan who is assisted by Stuart Malcolm and Soraya Mazhari and YanYang who coaches tower in Vancouver. The club also offers a Learn to Dive program.

So who was Chris Zuehlke?

What’s the connection between an iconic Little League park, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a North Van garden wedding

in 1919, sprinter Harry Jerome’s first North Van home and a 1975 rugby game?

The short answer is the name Zuehlke. For the long answer, you’ll have to read on.

Tucked behind Kinsmen Field – in the rec-reation complex spanning the five blocks on Jones Avenue between Mahon Park and Carson Graham Secondary – sits Chris Zuehlke Memorial Park

Zuehlke Park is the home of North Van Central Little League. The little stadium – like it’s done for the past 48 years – will host the 17-day 201l North Shore (District 5) Little League majors all-star tournament beginning July 1.

But this season is much different because the park has seen a major upgrade in preparation for hosting, for the first time, the Canadian Little League championships Aug. 6-13. This means the ballpark (along with the Zuehlkeburgers sold at the concession stand) will be the destination goal (and favourite fare) not only for every 11- and 12-year-old ballplayer across the North Shore and the country, but also for everyone who loves a good ballgame played by miniature major leaguers.

So who was Chris Zuehlke and why is the park named after him?

As a kid, Zuehlke was a fine athlete. He played in the Gordon Sturtridge League (1961-64) for Harvey Sedgwick’s Rough Riders, winners of the majors division in both 1962 and when Chris quarterbacked the team in 1964 with younger brother Buzz as the centre.

In the North Van Jaycee (now Central) Little League – when home plate was west of where the right field foul pole is now located – Zuehlke was a dominant pitcher and hitter for Elks (1959-61). He starred for Army & Navy in the North Van Babe Ruth League (1962-64) out of Mahon Park and with Burdetts of the Connie Mack League (1965-67).

The family scrapbook displays clippings show-ing his numerous one- and two-hitters (plus a homer and a 6-0 Little League no-hitter fash-ioned on May 29, 1960) thanks to game line scores which actually appeared in the Vancouver daily papers in those days.

Zuehlke was the star pitcher-shortstop who led North Van Babe Ruth all-stars all the way to the final game of the Pacific Northwest playoffs in Ketchikan, Alaska in 1964. He was 4-0 on the mound and a team-leading .367 at the plate in 10 B.C. and PNW games.

A 1966 North Van High grad and a UBC BA recipient in 1970, at which time he became a car-penter with Burdett Construction, he was play-ing front row for Capilano Rugby Club’s second division team and fastpitch with Big Bird Sound, coaching baseball and heading up the Jaycee Little League’s umpiring crew, when tragedy struck.

The park named after Chris Zuehlke (at right) is in the spotlight this summer. Above: Len Corben photo / Right: North Van Archives collection

There’s lots of history behind the name of NV’s Little League park

Ten minutes into a Capilanos game versus Trojans at Vancouver’s Balaclava Park on April 12, 1975, the scrum collapsed and Zuehlke’s ver-tebra snapped. He died in Lions Gate Hospital three days later at age 26.

Jaycee Park was re-named Chris Zuehlke Memorial Park during the following season’s opening ceremonies 35 years ago on April 24,

1976. Now you have the connec-

tion between the park and rugby but what about Vimy Ridge, the 1919 garden wedding and Harry Jerome?

Well, you need to know that the Zuehlkes are a pioneer North Van family, going back almost 100 years.

To piece together the family his-tory, I picked the detailed memo-

ries of Buzz, who still lives here, and parents, Fred and Marie, now retired in Chilliwack. Then came many hours combing B.C. vital events records and mytrees.com on the Internet, along with microfilm of marriage and death certificates at the West Van library. I now feel like a full-fledged member of the Zuehlke clan.

The Zuehlke story begins in Prussia in the 1820s where Frederick Zuehlke and Caroline Horn were born and later married. They had Frank and another son before immigrating about 1857 to Canada and the German community of Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario, where six more children were born. Sometime after 1868, the family moved 160 miles across the border to Michigan’s Marlette Township, north of Detroit.

Frank married Barbara Frenzel from Galt, Ontario, in 1872 when they were just 19 and 18. They had twins to start and a total of 10 chil-dren, though three died by age six.

Some Zuehlkes moved to the Spokane area of Washington Territory before it became a state in 1889. Frank and Barb’s youngest child, Fred, was born in Waterville, Washington, on Feb. 25, 1893. The Zuehlkes became friends with John and Marie Turville, farmers who had a brood of daughters including Margaret, or Dolly as she was called ever since she was a cutie born in Spokane on May 6, 1892.

The Zuehlke and Turville families both migrat-ed to central Alberta and when the Great War began, Fred went off to fight, taking part in two of the First World War’s most famous Canadian battles at Ypres and Vimy Ridge. While attack-

[email protected] Corben

INSTANTREPLAY ing the ridge on Easter Monday, April 9,

1917, Fred was shot with a Luger at close range, necessitating the amputation of his left arm.

Just prior to the war, the Turvilles moved to North Van at 428 Lyon Place, a block-long street parallel to Keith Road and one block north between Ridgeway and Moody. Their garden became the site of five Turville weddings from 1917-22 includ-ing the one between childhood friends Fred and Dolly on March 13, 1919. The grand home is still there, two houses east of where Harry Jerome lived at 416 Lyon after his family moved from Winnipeg in 1951.

Fred and Dolly’s first of two children was Bill Zuehlke, delivered by Dr. E. A. Martin on Oct. 26, 1922, in a nursing home/hospital run by a Mrs. Ellingson at Lonsdale and 18th. Bill married Marie Mahoney of Penticton in 1947. Besides Chris and Buzz, they had two daughters, Deanne and Maureen.

Frank and Barb lived at 418 West 15th by Mahon Park from at least the early 1920s until both died at 88 in April 1941.

Fred and Dolly had a house at 146 West 17th from shortly after their 1919 marriage until their passing in 1978 and 1979 at age 85 and 86. Bill and Marie bought two lots next door for $200 apiece at the end of the Second World War and built their own home at 150 West 17th. That’s where Chris and his siblings grew up, two blocks from Mahon Park and three more to the park now named for him.

As you can see, Chris Zuehlke Memorial Park has quite a history.

This is episode 424 from Len Corben’s treasure chest of stories - the great events and the quirky - that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.

A new watchdogREBECCA ALDOUSS T A F F R E P O R T E R

The Spots and Rovers of West Vancouver now have their own bylaw enforcement officer.

Last week, council voted to allocate $42,000 to employ a temporary bylaw officer on a six-month trial period to increase compliance with the dis-trict’s dog regulations.

Last year, the municipality’s bylaw depart-ment received 463 dog-related calls — complaints about everything from unlicensed dogs to owners failing to pick up after their pets.

The district currently employs five bylaw offi-cers to enforce West Van’s bylaws, including ani-

mal control. Council recently approved a policy that bylaw officers work to promote awareness about being respectful dog owners and enforc-ing the municipality’s doggie laws. But the bylaw officers say they’re too busy to do this, stated in a report to council.

The hiring of an officer is a proactive approach to balancing the desires of responsible dog own-ers and citizens who are less comfortable with man’s best friends.

The new bylaw officer will educate dog owners on West Van’s on-leash park policies and hand out free poo-bag holders that attach onto dog’s leashes. Fines for having ones dog off leash in an on leash area can run as high as $135.

At the end of the trial, staff will include a com-parison of calls for service related to dog control before and after the pilot program. From there, council will decided on whether to continue the program.

Championship winds up for a lot of funKOLBY SOLINSKY

Starting July 9, the Lower Mainland will be treated to nine days of home runs, close tags and

rally caps, as the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship welcomes women soft-ball stars from British Columbia and the globe.

The championship runs until July 17 and will take place at three dia-monds in Surrey. Softball City will be the premier destination, and games will also be played at Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch championship is one of the top

three women’s fastpitch events in the world for 2011, and will feature more than 400 ball games, 1,300 athletes and 80 teams from around the world.

One of those players is North Vancouver’s Jennifer Kuan. Not only is she the number one pitcher for the Richmond Islanders 94 (Futures Gold 18U) but she also has the best batting and on base average of all the girls on the team. She travels over an hour to play ball every time she practises and has a game.

An honour roll student, Kuan has been struck by tragedy in her life. Almost two years ago she lost one of her coaches to a heart attack. It was a double blow for her because he was her father. Dennet Kuan loved softball

and was Jennifer’s main inspiration and influence in her game. Her coach Sam Young says that she is a great example to all her teammates of someone who can overcome anything in their lives and continue to be a first class leader.

“This event is important to the game on so many levels,” said Softball Canada president Kevin Quinn. “To all the play-ers, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally organized tourna-ment.

“Lifetime memories are made here.”There will be three divisions of play

- Women’s, Futures (under-19) and Showcase (under-16) - and all the International and Women’s Elite games

will be held at Softball City in South Surrey.Joining Team Canada in the Women’s

International division will be top-ranked and 2010 ISF Women’s World Champion Team USA, Team Japan, Team Venezuela and Team Australia.

Canada won the Bronze medal at last year’s ISF Women’s World Championships.

In the Women’s Elite division, the host club, the White Rock Renegades, will be taking on teams from California, Venezuela, and Nanjing, China. The host Renegades will have a total of six teams taking part in the Open Championship.

British Columbia will be well-represented at this year’s championship. Joining the Renegades will be the Abbotsford Outlaws, Burnaby Oakeys,Cloverdale Fury, Delta Heat, Duncan Red Hots, Fleetwood Force, Fraser Valley Fusion, Kelowna Heat, Langley Rebels, Okanagan Elite Gold, PoCo Rage, Richmond Islanders, Ridge Meadows Pride, South Delta Invaders, Strawberry Vale Stealth, Surrey Storm and Victoria Devils.

From elsewhere in Canada, Surrey will be joined by clubs from Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as American clubs from Alaska, Arizona, California and Hawaii.

Tickets can be purchased at CanadianOpenFastpitch.com, as well as at the parks. The action kicks off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 9 with women’s play, as the White Rock Renegades face-off with the California A’s. The third-place and first-place games will be played on Saturday July 17 at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

On top of what will happen on the diamond, all in attendance will be treated to some special events during the festivities. Young softball play-ers aged eight to 16 can sign up for the Shaw Youth Clinics (between now and June 30) for a chance to play with and learn from some of the world’s top-ranked teams. Registration is avail-able online at CanadianOpenFastpitch.com.

Visit the Scotiadome marquee tent for the Celebration of Softball, which offers a number of activities and exhibits for kids, parents and players.

There will also be a Softball Heroes marquee tent, where past superstars, umpires, local coach-es and other heroes in the softball world will be on-hand to enlighten and entertain you with sto-ries and conversation. There will also be a “Guys Night Out,” a special night dedicated to the boys and men of fastpitch in B.C.

Both Softball Heroes and the Celebration of Softball are free with admission to the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

Of course, all of this is possible with the help of 450 volunteers who have given their time to help make this tournament one of the world’s largest fastpitch championships.

“A championship of this scope requires an enormous amount of planning and commit-ment on the part of the tournament commit-tee to incorporate essentially three tournaments into one event,” said Dennis Bidin, president of Softball B.C. “This championship allows all of our softball fans an opportunity to see what can be accomplished by dedication, hard work and focusing on goals to be the best in your sport.”

This year, fans and spectators will also be able to participate in the coverage of this event. Upload your photos to Flickr, join in the con-versation on Facebook, and use #COFP11 on Twitter to join in the fun and report what you’re seeing from the stands of the ballparks. Specific instructions will be available online at BCLocalNews.com.

In addition, Black Press and its local coverage will be providing exclusive coverage of the cham-pionship, with videos, stories and multimedia going up on BCLocalNews.com. Don’t miss our special feature section, and visit our site for links to follow the action live with Pointstreak Sports Technologies real-time scoring, as well as live streaming video provided by SportsCanada.tv.

West Vancouver residents dealt with the smell of 60,000 litres of sewage spilling into their

neighbourhood last weekend.

For two hours on Thursday, June 23, — 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. — raw sewage was spewing from the 45-year-old Gleneagles pump station # 4 into the 5500 block of Gallagher Place.

“We put in place a bypass using tank-er trucks,” Metro Vancouver spokes-man Bill Morrell said.

This allowed workers to iso-late the broken piece of pipe. They were able to mend the break in two hours.

“We have a complete environmental review and cleanup in process,” Morrell said Friday afternoon.

Metro Vancouver monitored the pipe over the next couple of days. Any such incident is taken

seriously, but the spill was not a major hazard to the neighbourhood.

“It would be hugely diluted,” Morrell said. The District of West Vancouver closed Eagle

Harbour Beach. The concern was that sewage flowed into Wood and Eagle creeks and down into the harbour, said Ian Haras, the municipality’s man-ager of parks utili-ties.

Vancouver Coastal Health conducted testing. They checked for substances such as intestinal bac-teria, said Brian O’Connor, the medical health offi-cer for the North Shore.

“The main concern that we would have is if the sewage was being discharged in a concen-trated manner,” he said, adding the tide will help flush out the sewage.

The beach was reopened on Monday after tests indicated there were no health concerns and only “background” levels of increased bacteria.
