Indian students represent only a fraction of B.C.’s post-secondary international enrolment

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKC O N T R I B U T O R

Two senior Capilano University administrators will join Premier Christy Clark’s delegation

to Asia in November to pursue an untapped international student mar-ket: India.

Catherine Vertesi, VP of interna-tional, external relations and new initiatives, and Susan Watson, man-ager of international projects and contracts, are part of a B.C. post-secondary education contingent that includes representatives from UBC, SFU and the Justice Institute of BC, to name a few.

International students are a cul-tural and economic bridge to B.C.’s major trading partners, explained Vertesi, who is also board vice-chair of the BC Council for International Education.

A 2011 BCCIE-commissioned report shows that India is one of the

top three most important countries in the international educational sector for B.C., along with Saudi Arabia and Mexico. Yet India doesn’t even register on a top ten list of countries represent-ing the highest percentage of interna-tional students in B.C. schools; recent statistics put India at 2.3 per cent of the overall post-secondary international enrolment numbers.

“Traditionally, the majority of international students come from the Asian countries: Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea...” said Vertesi. “Our Indian numbers are just starting to grow.”

Cap U has already begun work on forging a viable relationship with Indian educators. Last September a group of high school principals from India visited North Vancouver’s uni-versity to learn about its potential as a study destination for their graduat-ing students.

According to Vertesi, there are two main reasons why Indian students like Cap U: the Fine and Applied Arts program and the smaller university setting. She notes that Cap U still has a university transfer program for stu-dents looking to transition to UBC, to

Rockridge teacher-librarian Arlene Anderson receivesPrime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence

WHAT’S NEW

Rockridge Secondary teacher-l ibrarian Arlene Anderson has received a 2010Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence. At a ceremony f itt ingly heldon October 5, World Teachers' Day, Arlene joined other teacher-leaders fromacross the country in Ottawa to be recognized for her achievement:

"Techno-wiz teacher–librarian inspires students and reinvents school library. Ifthe school is an atom, the library is its nucleus where energy and enthusiasmfuel ideas."

Arlene received the highest level of recognition, a Certif icate of Excellence, as well as $5,000 to be sharedequally between the winner and her school. Congratulations, Ms. Anderson!

Where are you going with your learning? How is it going? Where to next? Students are taking ownership of theirlearning through the framework of some powerful inquiry-based programs in West Vancouver School District, and it’sa messy thing.

Inquiry-based learning is the backbone of the International Baccalaureate programs in our d istrict, includ ing thePrimary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and Diploma Programme. It is also at the heart of the work ofthe Network of Performance Based Schools, funded by the BC Ministry of Education, as well as at our new iDECprogram at Caulfeild Elementary.

We are pleased to announce that Cypress Park Primary School has received authorization as an IB World School. Thissignificant accompl ishment is the result of three years of ded icated preparation and endeavour by Cypress Parkstaff, students and parents during the IB Organization's rigorous accred itation process. IB programs integrate the BCcurriculum into a framework of inquiry with a global perspective. These inclusive, enriched programs ensure studentsare challenged to think and question critically. Research skills and sophistication in writing and presenting aresignificant outcomes of these programs of inquiry, with the over-arching goal to develop citizens who are well-balanced, principled inquirers with an understand ing of their responsibil ities to our society and a commitment toacademic excellence.

A key aspect of programs of inquiry, in my mind, is that students become increasingly aware of the connectionsbetween the subject areas they are learning and the real world, rather than considering curriculum as isolated areasunrelated to each other and to the world.

Says WVSD Director of Instruction Lynne Toml inson, “Inquiry is a messy process. It takes time for our students toexplore, create, ruminate, question and develop their ideas. There are often many solutions or answers to an inquiry‘question’ and they will employ a great deal of critical thinking skills to create their own meaning. As students beginto develop these skills, they will ‘unlock the learning’ and begin to view their understand ing with a morepersonal ized lens.

“Messy, but meaningful.”

Family vote

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKC O N T R I B U T O R

Two first-term North Shore council-lors — both moms — are not seek-ing re-election because they have

a more important constituency to serve: their family.

Today, City of North Vancouver Coun. Mary Trentadue is bouncing her eight-and-a-half-month-old son, Leo, on her knee outside a coffee shop at Lonsdale Quay.

She makes a fine attempt at parent and political multi-tasking. In one breath she talks about how she is an advocate for affordable housing in the city. Mid-thought, Leo grabs her face and her attention.

Trentadue is not making any apolo-gies for choosing her son over a career in politics. The single mom has worked hard for six years to start a family.

She sourced out adoption agencies in Vancouver but didn’t have any luck.

She then turned to adoption agencies in the U.S. and was matched with a pregnant woman in Florida — a single mom with three kids. Trentadue was in the delivery room when Leo was born in January.

Upon her return to North Van and her council chair, Trentadue felt torn between her family life and her political obligations.

She solicited other councillors’ advice and asked: “Can I have a child and still be on coun-cil?”

“It was made clear to me absolutely you can,”

says Trentadue.She tested that theory and found herself com-

ing up short on family time. Trentadue rattles off her list of councillor obligations for the week: regular council meeting and library board meet-ing, with required readings in between. On top of that she also has a full-time job that she is easing herself back into.

A councillor’s stipend alone — which in the CNV is approximately $33,000 — is not enough to financially sustain a family, says Trentadue.

Right now she is relying on family, friends and her boyfriend to watch Leo in her absence.

It was a last-minute decision for Trentadue to

North Shore councillors Mary Trentadue and Shannon Walker won’t seek re-election because political obligations make it difficult to raise a family

Professional service with a personal touch

Holly will be sharing her story of the value a strong community connection and the correlation this brings to her business.Born and raised on the North Shore, Holly Back attended North Vancouver schools, sent her sons to North Vancouver schools, and taught at Carson Graham Secondary School for seven years. Her sense of responsibility for the community and for young people led her to run as a trustee. Holly has a 40-year career in hairdressing and small business, first owning a salon at age 25. In 1991, she took her skills to the public school system, developing a two-year program at Carson Graham that taught basic math, science

and English within the context of hairdressing. The program readied students for graduation, and prepared them for hairdressing certificates so they had marketable skills after high school. Holly holds diplomas in Adult Education and a Master’s Degree in Education. In 1998, Holly opened her current business, Holly’s on the North Shore, a salon and hairdressing school. The company is a significant contributor to the community, through sponsorship of various charitable fundraising events, including the “Community Cares 5k Fun Run” which Holly launched. Holly and her company have been recognized through awards such as “Outstanding School” presented by Milady Canada, “Best Employer” presented by the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, and “Women of Inspiration” presented by Chatelaine Magazine.

not file papers for re-election. In the end, she conceded that she would be spreading herself too thin.

“To say you are going to work as little as possible and collect a pay check, I think the taxpayers deserve more than that; but I can’t short change [Leo] either,” says Trentadue.

District of West Vancouver Coun. Shannon Walker is in a similar predica-ment as Trentadue. Her struggle to raise a fam-ily while in political office has different vari-ables though: she is not a single mother, but is a round-the-clock businesswoman.

Walker is the CEO of Whistleblower Security Inc., an ethics and risk management com-pany with clients worldwide. She also heads up Walker Group Inc., a diversified company with 80 employees.

“There is more pressure on a working mom,” she says. “It sounds kind of sexist, but it is the way it is.”

Walker’s daughters are six and eight years old and just starting to discover after-school activities.

And like her councillor and mom counterpart in North Van, Walker also has committee meetings to attend, many of which are during the day.

So when push came to shove, she excused herself from some commit-tee meetings this year because of family obligations.

“You could be out every single night of the week [at council-related events],” explains Walker.

She is grateful that DWV Coun. Trish Panz was able to take over her council liaison roles on the West Vancouver Memorial Library Board and Rutledge Field working group.

Walker offers a glimpse into the political and per-sonal life balancing act, but only now can she look back and laugh.

“I had my kids scream-ing in the car and I was on the phone with this woman who started yelling at me about the community gar-dens,” she says.

It was Walker’s team at work and home who begged her not to seek a

second term.“They said I was too distracted,

so I had no choice [but to not run],” says Walker. “The kids have to come first, ultimately.”

Both Trentadue and Walker say their respective councils lack diver-sity in that the councillor role tends to attract retired people.

“There are older demographics being represented on [WV] council,” said Walker.

Elected to CNV council at 41, Trentadue figures she is the young-est councillor by 10 to 20 years.

Walker’s suggestion for a more inclusive council is two-fold: “Council needs to operate as more of a board as opposed to a man-agement team; and council com-mitments need to be limited in the amount of time and the scheduling of meetings required for people to participate.”

Dinner date Singles-only cooking class in West Van serves up canapes,

a three-course meal and chance for romance

Chef Jonathan Chovancek runs his hands across a voluptuous squash in the dis-play kitchen at Y Franks Appliances in

Ambleside.Sporting a dark faux-hawk hairstyle and

pierced ears, he smiles mischievously. In one week he will reprise his role as cupid and the host of a singles cooking class in this very space. And he does have some arrows up his sleeve.

“I’ll see people making eyes and I might get them to wash vegetables together at the sink,” says Chovancek.

As it turns out, despite his 16 years as a profes-sional chef, he wasn’t exactly a smooth operator in the kitchen when it came to making breakfast for his fiancée for the first time.

“The thing is she was on a raw-vegan diet at the time,” explains Chovancek. “Of course I wanted to really impress her with my cooking skills, but this posed an excellent challenge on how to impress her without cooking. I guess it worked out.”

Maureen Goulet is the owner of a West Van-based “adventures in cooking” company called Ambrosia. Her longtime husband pulled off a risky first date meal: he cooked her liver and onions.

“He was sure he could make it taste great and he did,” she says.

Since then, they have made many great meals together, but the best combination is when Goulet does the prep and her husband barbecues.

Goulet and Chovancek met earlier this year when she hired him to host a cooking fundrais-er for Jessie’s Legacy — a Family Services of the North Shore program that provides prevention education about eating disorders.

“I think [Jonathan] is entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about food,” gushes Goulet.

And entertaining he was as the expert chef in the documentary “Village on a Diet” that aired on CBC this past year. In that role, Chovancek played more of a counsellor than cupid as he explored people’s love-hate relationships with food in a northern B.C. town called Taylor.

Over 60 per cent of Taylor’s population was overweight or obese. Collectively, the meat-lov-ing, truck-driving community vowed to lose liter-ally a ton of weight in just three grueling months for the show.

Chovancek was abhorred as he witnessed resi-dents ripping open pre-packaged fast food and shoving it in the microwave, night after night. It was intervention time.

He even managed to persuade the owner of

a local pizza, video and confectionery haunt to remove the chip rack.

Back in West Van, Goulet and Chovancek are setting the tone for next Thursday evening’s cook-ing class: the flavour will be casual and comfort-able. A mixologist will be on hand to supply the single attendees with delicious liquid courage.

“Every party needs an icebreaker; cocktails are a great way to begin the evening,” says a confi-dent sounding Chovancek.

No expert cooking or dating skills are required, but there is one prerequisite: you must be between the ages of 45 to 60.

Goulet laughs when explaining the age cap. She reveals that she used to book men first into her cooking classes. Then, based on the age demographics she gleaned, she booked the women accordingly.

“I think that sort of repeater — they have done the marriage thing once,” says Goulet, characterizing the men who sign up for her

singles cooking class.And sometimes second marriages are on the

table. Goulet proudly takes credit for the hand-ful of marriages and longterm relationships that have come out of her test kitchens.

“This is a cooking class, not a dating service,” she stresses. “I don’t follow up.”

Regardless, it does promise to be a fun eve-ning even if the participants don’t meet a lifelong cooking companion. There will be canapes fol-lowing by a three-course meal that will encom-pass a regional and seasonal flare.

Chovancek has some advice for singles wor-ried about compatibility.

“Eating is a commonality between all of us,” he says.

—Ambrosia Adventures’ “Singles Only Cooking Class” takes place on Oct. 27 from 6:45 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. at Y Franks Appliances (503 15th St., WV). The deadline for booking is Oct. 23. For more information email [email protected] or call 604-218-2084.

No more excuses Texting and driving can be deadly. Ditto for talking and driving.

And even though it’s now against the law, many B.C. motorists still haven’t got the message about distracted driving.

Need proof? Pull over and look around. Texters and talkers aren’t hard to spot.

Not convinced? A recent ICBC-commissioned survey found that half of respondents

reported witnessing other drivers texting and talking on a hand-held device “several times a day” over the past year. But it seems nobody really wants to admit it. Only 16 per cent of the same respondents said they used a hand-held while driving during that same period.

And those who do get caught red-handed usually have a good excuse. During a traffic blitz aimed at distracted drivers in September, police

handed out more than 3,500 tickets and heard plenty of excuses. Recently ICBC distributed a list of the Top 10 excuses from drivers, which ranged from sublimely ludicrous “But it was an emergency call to my wedding planner!” to plainly defiant “This is a bogus law.”

But as any traffic cop will tell you, a distracted driver is a dangerous driver.

And and as smartphones become more ubiquitous and more text-weened teens get behind the wheel, the streets will become even more dangerous — and not just for other motorists.

Bikers need to keep their heads up. Same with pedestrians.What will that take to get drivers to put down their cells?

Well, the new legislation introduced in January 2010, hasn’t led to a per-ceptible change in drivers’ habits.

And socially speaking, texting and driving doesn’t carry nearly the same negative stigma as drinking and driving — even though it should. It can be just as dangerous.

Likely, it will take more awareness campaigns and incrementally stiffer fines, just as it did with the battle against drinking and driving, to get drivers to change driving habits.

Here’s a sobering stat to kick-off a campaign: Every year, distracted driv-ing results in more than 117 deaths and 1,400 serious every year in this province.

So really, there is no excuse for driving distracted.

North Van teachers are talking with students about difficult topics such as gangs, drugs and depression thanks to the district's violence prevention programming

Tough subjects

By Sean Kolenko

Around this time last year, the North Shore made headlines as the happiest place in Metro

Vancouver. A survey of folks from across the region, published by the Vancouver Foundation, found residents in North and West Vancouver most likely to describe themselves as happy and interested in life, optimistic about the future of their community and trusting of their neigh-bours.

And it isn’t hard to see why. From Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay, the North Shore boasts picturesque views, desir-able real estate and in-demand schools.

But all the smiles, positivity and hope don’t stop the need to sometimes have difficult conversations. Conversations about depression, drugs, gangs and even sexual exploitation — conversations they’re having in North Vancouver schools.

“The reason we bring this in — some-times cutting edge controversial top-ics — is because we’ve got to talk

about it,” says Jeremy Church, North Vancouver School District’s vice principal for alternative programs and vice principal of North Van’s Lucas Centre.

“We have to give kids the opportunity to talk.”A host of seminars, talks and events are

being brought in as part of the school district’s violence prevention programming. With the help of a $20,000 grant from the City of North

Vancouver, each year the school district distrib-utes the money to help fund whatever violence prevention event a school wishes to put on.

Brad Baker, the school district’s administrator of learning services, spoke to council about the grant on Sept. 12. Once the grant gets the go-ahead from city hall, a committee comprised of school district staff, trustees, students and others allocate the funding.

Last year, for instance, Balmoral junior sec-ondary school received $2,500 to administer the SafeTeen program, an anti-violence workshop, to all its Grade 10 students. Larson elemen-tary was given $1,200 to host its own SafeTeen event, an Internet safety program and a healthy decision-making discussion.

At the Youth Learning Centre, where Church is also vice-principal, $3,000 went to, amongst other things, a sexual exploitation workshop, a social net-working safety event and the play “Let Me Up!” based on the story of for-mer full-patch Hells Angels member Joe Caledino, which was presented at Sutherland secondary.

The YLC also hosted a SafeTeen event. For those sessions, male and female students were broken into sepa-rate groups. For the females, lessons on establishing safe sexual boundaries and assertiveness training were offered. For the males, Church says they attempted to “demystify” masculinity, discussed “what it means to be aggressive” and role-played related scenarios.

To many in the area, the need to dis-cuss sexual exploitation may seem a problem for neighbourhoods on the other side of the inlet but, says Church, “the issue of sexual exploitation in our age means it can happen anywhere.”

And it isn’t just a sex-for-money issue, he adds.

Sex for housing, food, clothes and drugs happens as well and should be included within the exploitation umbrella. Craigslist was a “huge problem” in this realm a few years ago, he says, and there were “stu-dents caught in that cycle.”

“For me, it’s one of those issues where if I even sense it is happening, I react right away.

“I’ve seen it happen over and over.”

By the time she reached Grade 10 at Seycove secondary, Claire McOuat wanted out. Although

she grew up in the area and was on the honour roll, her high school expe-rience wasn’t a pleasant one. Things just didn’t click there. She needed something different.

A friend mentioned the YLC to her, so she decided to check it out. She liked what she saw.“It was like a big light went off in my head,” she says.“A place like that really exists?”Since switching her studies to the YLC, McOuat, last year’s valedictorian, has thrived academi-

cally. Now 18, McOuat is taking extra classes this year in preparation for university.She took part in a number of violence prevention programs at the school and last year was a

member of the committee that distributes the funding. It was “interesting to see how the money gets split up,” she says, but the real work happens in the classrooms.

At the SafeTeen session she attended, McOuat called the experience “very powerful.”“By the end of that, people were really talking about some serious stuff,” says McOuat.“I was really impressed. It was my favourite one.”Like Church, McOuat stresses the importance of this sort of dialogue in schools. People of all

stripes feel alone. And many can feel like they have nowhere to go to talk about it. Some of the sub-ject matter of the talks, she admits, can be challenging, shocking even.

But if it isn’t talked about, those suffering may do so in silence. And for those participating who have no experience with some of the topics being discussed, McOuat says the knowledge learned can go to helping a friend. Or a friend of a friend.

Because these issues are here, she says, and the more they’re dealt with, the better we’ll be.“It seems so shocking but you find out it’s right in your area. It seems crazy, you just don’t expect

it,” says McOuat.“But the only thing we have right now, other than these programs, to stop violence is prosecuting

it. So, why not try and stop it in the first place?”

Long-running drama haunts the North Vancouver stage

TODD COYNES T A F F R E P O R T E R

One of the world’s longest consecutively running dramas is preparing to haunt the stage of North Vancouver’s Hendry

Hall just in time for Halloween.The Woman in Black is an epic ghost story

written by Susan Hill and adapted for the

stage by Stephen Mallatratt in 1987. It has since been drawing crowds to London’s West End theatre district where today more than 7 million people have seen it and lived to tell the tale.

It was there that Vancouver stage director Randy Poulis fell in love with The Woman in Black.

“I went and saw it in London and thought it would be just perfect to do here,” Poulis told The Outlook. “The audience is so immediate to the production because Hendry Hall seats about 70 people and you’re right on top of the stage.”

That closeness lends a huge boost to the play’s spook factor, magnifying the role of the audience’s imagina-tion in the otherwise stripped down dual-actor performance of Kurtis Maguire and Robert Sidley. And so does the history of the Victorian-styled Hendry Hall, built in 1942, and home to the North Vancouver Community Players.

“This is the ideal space for this ghost story to be told becauseyou’re up close and personal with any spirit that chooses to make an appearance,” Poulis said.

Fans of the Harry Potter films may also want to get in to see this local production as Hill’s novel has also been adapted for a feature film starring Daniel Radcliffe of Potter fame set to open in February 2012.

His B.C. Golf Hall of Fame career began with two playoff wins at Capilano

When Jim Rutledge is inducted into the B.C. Golf Hall of Fame, he will have come full circle.

You see, it’s just so fitting that the gala induc-tion banquet next Thursday night, October 27, will take place at Capilano Golf and Country Club.

That’s because the Victoria-raised Rutledge – a pro on tour since way back in 1978 – began his career on the links by capturing two big tour-naments at Capilano when he was a teenager: the 1976 B.C. high school championship at age 16 and the 1977 B.C. junior tourney at 17.

And he won them in memorable fashion, winning in sudden-death play-offs in both cases.

It was 35 years ago – June 7, 1976 – that Rutledge, play-ing for Oak Bay Secondary, spoiled a clean sweep for the host teams and individuals from North Shore schools in the sixth annual high school tourney.

Windsor, behind twins Blair and Brian Christie, won the team championship with a four-player, 36-hole score of 644, two better than runner-up Handsworth led by Brian Eccleston. It’s the only time the B.C.s have been held on the North Shore in the tournament’s 39-year history (there was no tournament in 1987 due to a teacher strike) and the only time a North Shore school has won.

But the individual championship came down to a playoff between Rutledge and Eccleston.

Despite a double-bogey seven on the final hole of the first round played at Seymour Golf and Country Club, Rutledge forged a first-round 73 – thanks to three birdies and an eagle – to lead the individual scoring. Eccleston, playing his home course, carded a 77, well off the pace.

But when the competition moved to Capilano the next day, the scores were reversed – Rutledge recording 77 and

Eccleston 73 – produc-ing a two-way tie for first at 150.

The playoff, the first time one was required at the B.C.s, began – and ended – on the 15th hole. Rutledge got a par 4 and Eccleston a bogey when his six-

foot putt for par came to rest on the right lip.

It was 13 months later on July 9, 1977, that Rutledge returned to Capilano and won the provincial junior tournament, this time in a 72-hole competition. He caught Castlegar’s Rob Sherstobitoff – the 1977 B.C. high school champ and B.C. Junior leader during each of

study medicine or physics (for example).“[The Indian principals] evaluated

15 institutions in Canada and said Cap [U] was the one that talked about stu-dents and the student experience,” said Vertesi.

Australia was long considered a top choice for Indian students because of its close proximity and democratic cli-mate.

However, in recent years, difficul-ties encountered by Indian students in Australia — in 2009, media reports detailed violent, racially-motivated attacks on Indian students — and changes to immigration regulations saw Indian students looking elsewhere for international education options, said Cap U.

Since then, the High Commission of Canada office in New Delhi, India has doubled the amount of study per-mits issued to Indian nationals annually to approximately 6,000.

Vertesi said chang-es in attitude from Canadian immigration officials in India — previously, it took sev-eral weeks for Indians to obtain a Canadian student visa, as opposed to 48 hours for Australia — have inspired Cap U to seek international students from India. “I was advised that until [the High Commission of Canada in India] straighten[s] out their visa issue, [Cap U] shouldn’t be wast-ing our money,” she explains.

New Delhi and Mumbai are among the Asian cities the B.C. delegation will visit between November 4-15. The Cap U representa-tives are hoping to sign a contract with a network of 30 all-girls private schools in India; a one-month Cap U homestay pro-gram for Indian girls in Grades 11 and 12 is on the table.

“The students will get a taste of what it’s

like to live in Vancouver,” said Vertesi.

She adds, India is a vast coun-try and Cap U is not a big insti-tution; establishing partnerships with high schools and univer-sities is how they get noticed. There are economic benefits to B.C.’s relationship with interna-tional students.

On its website, Cap U figures $12,000 is the minimum amount of money that international students can expect to spend for four months of study. This includes five courses, homestay accommodations, food, trans-portation and incidentals.

In addition to paying for their education, some of these students may decide to immigrate here after-wards. “[International students] are learning how to fit in with Canadian culture; it’s not like getting off an airplane and trying to find a job in a culture that they don’t understand,” said Vertesi.

Name: Joe Campbell

Car: 1967 Chevelle Super Sport

Tell us about it: I looked for it for two years and found it in Florida. It’s a big block four-speed convertible with a frame-off restoration.

Your favourite feature about the car? I like the sound of it the best; my kids love driving with the roof off and my little guy says the car sounds angry!

Best place for cruising on Saturday night? Out to White Rock to visit family. It’s a good length drive and there’s lots

of highway driving.

Favourite driving tunes? 96.9 (Jack FM).

My other car is... G-35 Infiniti.

Favourite car movie? American Graffiti. It had lots of old-school cars in it.

First car? 1970 Mustang. I was 16 when I got it. I think it was $3,000. It was a 302 with a four-speed as well — it was a fast car. I remember having house speaker in the hatchback — ah to be young.

the first three rounds – by making up eight strokes on the final round. They tied at 296.

This time it took three extra holes to decide the title. After both birdied Capilano’s first hole and made par on the second, Rutledge won with a third-hole par.

Rutledge also won the Victoria City Junior and Canadian Junior in 1977. He and Bill Wakeham, who is already in the B.C. Golf Hall of Fame, are the only ones to accomplish that feat.

Rutledge joined the pro circuit the following year when he was only 18 and has played at various times in the Australasian, Canadian, European, Nationwide, PGA and Champions tours.

His pro wins have come from near and far. He has six Canadian Tour titles: the B.C. Open in 1979, ’81 and ’89; the 1994 Alberta Open, 1995 P.E.I. Classic and 1984 Canadian PGA.

In 1995 he won the Indian Open in New Delhi and in 2006 the New Zealand PGA in Christchurch.

He became the second-oldest rookie on the PGA Tour at the age of 47 in 2007. “I laughed when Barrie McWha [Executive Director of the B.C. Golf Museum and Hall of Fame] told me the induction would be at Capilano,” Rutledge tells me over the phone from San Antonio, Texas (where he was playing in the A.T. and T. Championship last weekend). “I told him the last time I played there was when I won the B.C. Junior. [Actually] I played at Capilano with a couple of buddies maybe 20 years ago but I haven’t played there since.

And he hasn’t played at Seymour since the high school tournament.“Coming from Victoria where the golf courses were a little bit easier,

going to Seymour was a tough golf course. I think Capilano reminded me a lot of Royal Colwood [in Victoria].

“It’s remarkable that we played at those two golf courses as high profile as they are. It was the first time I’d played them.”

Despite the few times he’s been to Capilano, he recalls it pretty well.“Some courses just jog your memory better than others,” he explains.

“The reason Capilano comes to mind is just because it reminds me so much of hilly Colwood. I remember virtually all of it, maybe with the exception of a couple of holes in the middle of the front nine.

“I guess the prettiest hole would probably be the first because you can see the whole city from the first tee.

“I do remember the finish there which is a very good finish: 13 is a dog-leg right, par 4 up the hill for the second shot; 14 is across the driveway that comes into the club, then we go over to 15.

“I think 16, 17 and 18 are very good holes. I remember 16 being a long par 3, I think 17 was a reasonably long par 4 and 18 was a great par 5 straight up the hill… 18 is a beautiful hole.”

Nice golf course. Nice career. Nice memories.

This is episode 437 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.

CAPILANO CONNECTION - Back in 1976 and 1977, Jim Rutledge (above as a teenager and today) won a pair of tournaments with sudden-death, extra-hole victories at Capilano Golf and Country Club. B.C. Golf Museum Collection

‘Unprecedented’ First Nations Health Authority agreement signed

There was jubilation inside the Capilano Longhouse on the Squamish First Nation reserve last Thursday (Oct. 13) for the

signing of a historic agreement that relinquish-es the federal government’s control of First Nations health programs in B.C. to an indepen-dent First Nations Health Authority.

Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq, B.C. Minister of Health Michael de Jong and Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn Atleo were among the dignitaries on hand to put their stamp of approval on the “framework agreement” between the three gov-ernments.

Over the next two years, the federal govern-ment will transfer planning, design, manage-ment and delivery of First Nations health pro-

grams to the FNHA and provide $17 million in transition funding; the province will contribute $83.5 million. Ottawa will then allocate $380 million each year to the FNHA, after the transi-tion is complete.

Joe Gallagher, CEO of the First Nations Health Council, said all involved parties will work together to improve the health outcomes of First Nations people living in B.C. The FNHA will incorporate First Nations’ cultural beliefs and healing practices into the design and delivery of health programs and services.

Gallagher called the integration of a First Nations-devised healthcare model with B.C. Ministry of Health guidelines unprecedented.

“To say yes, you can share in our system, that’s huge,” he said.
