Keli Anderson knows alltoo well the frustration ofgetting the run-aroundfrom an unsympatheticbureaucracy.

It’s something the NorthShore mother experiencedfirst hand after attempting tonavigate B.C.’s mental healthcare system when her sonfirst began showing signs ofmental illness 15 years ago.

Anderson’s son wasonly 10 when he was firstadmitted to the psychiatricward at B.C. Children’sHospital.

Knowing who to turnto next and how to gethelp was a confusing andfrightening prospect, whichyears later led Anderson tofound the FORCE Societyfor Kids’ Mental Health — aprovincial organization thathelps families of kids withmental illness.

Anderson was alsoinvolved in helping to createa new provincial healthsystem to help families thatwas unveiledWednesday atNorthVancouver’s HOpeCentre.

Anderson joined B.C.’sministers of children andfamily development andhealth along with NorthVancouver-Seymour MLAJaneThornthwaite at thecentre to announce the newsystem, aimed at helpingparents to find the help theirkids need and get them intotreatment.

Under the new system,which has been in a trial

mode since January 2014,families can see the array ofservices offered for youngpeople who may be affectedby eating disorders, ADHD,depression, anxiety or druguse on an online map. Oncethey find the nearest servicelocation, they can meetdirectly with a clinician anddiscuss a plan for treatmentat that initial visit.

“Under this model,instead of clients waitingweeks to find out if they’reeven potentially eligiblefor services, they can nowusually find out the sameday,” Children and FamiliesMinister Stephanie Cadieuxsaid. “This allows families tohelp their loved ones soonerby finding out what servicesare appropriate and availableto assist their child’s specificneeds.”

Anderson said it was anhonour to help design thenew intake system, whichis based on the knowledgeoffered by parents whohave had to go throughexperiences like hers.

“Trying to reachany destination withoutinstructions or a map isdifficult,” she said. “Thisis even more difficult forfamilies who are strugglingwith mental healthchallenges with their kids inBritish Columbia.”

There are more than29,000 children and youthacross B.C. receivingcommunity mental healthservices annually, Cadieuxsaid, which is more thandouble the number from2003.

But, while it helpspatients and their familiesnavigate the front end of thesystem, the new programdoesn’t come with any newfunding for more “boots onthe ground” staff to deal

A decidedly warm andsoggy forecast for theFamily Day long weekendmeans there probablywon’t be a lot of fun inthe snow in store forNorth Shore ski hills.

And one climate

scientist is warning thatscenario could becomemore common with globalwarming trends.

Snow has been bit a of ano-show on the North Shoremountains lately as hightemperatures and steady rainhave chased the frosty flakesfrom the hills.

Workers on Mt. Seymour

have been digging ditchesto drain the tobogganingarea as the PineappleExpress continues itsdeluge, according to SimonWhitehead, marketingmanager for the resort.

“We have a lot of raincoming down still so we’llbe making an assessmenteach day,” he said, adding

that skiers and snowboardersshould check the websitebefore trekking up themountainside.

At press time, onlySeymour’s learning area andtobogganing run were open.

Historic mountain lodge set to undergo long-awaited restoration

Homeon the [email protected]

Be of good cheer, you’re quitewelcome here,

If sad and alone, let this beyour home,

Here you will find a welcomemost kind.

The wooden signmounted over theentrance to HollyburnLodge has been replacedand repainted over theyears, but those rhymingwords of welcome remainunchanged and havebeckoned mountainvisitors through the doorbelow for close to 90years.

The simple poemcaptures the spirit of thehistoric mountain lodgethat sits in a clearing nextto First Lake in CypressProvincial Park. Sinceopening in 1927, the lodgehas been a gathering placefor outdoor enthusiastsdrawn to the recreationalmecca that is HollyburnRidge — from the early-day Scandinavian pioneerswho helped develop wintersport on the North Shoremountains, to the present-day hikers, snowshoers and

cross-country skiers whouse the established networkof wooded trails in the area.But, as happens, time andthe elements have taken atoll on the wood-framed,gable-roofed building andthe mountain communityhas banded together torevive the deterioratingfacility.

“There’s really nothingleft of it. It’s just boards.And the floor’s all wonky,”says Jackie Swanson,president of the HollyburnRidge Association. Bracingwas installed last year toprevent swaying, she says.Still, “It’s not safe for futurebusiness.”

The association,along with the HollyburnHeritage Society, theDistrict ofWestVancouver,Cypress Mountain andB.C. Parks have longbeen in talks about fixingup the lodge.This April,restoration work is expectedto finally begin with ananticipated completiondate before the start ofthe 2015/16 ski season.It’s a $1.1-million project— $800,000 of which isalready accounted for. Afundraising campaign isnow underway to close the$300,000 gap.

Swanson says the newand improved HollyburnLodge will retain theheritage character peopleare so attached to, but asolid infrastructure willensure it’s around for futuregenerations.

“It’ll be the same butbetter.We’re gearing for the23rd century,” she says.

● ● ●

Since 1998, theHollyburn Heritage Societyhas been advocating forthe restoration of the lodgeand compiling a detailedhistory of the building andsurrounding area. In 1924,

a group of Scandinavianentrepreneurs convertedthe abandoned Nasmythmill building on HollyburnRidge into the firstcommercial ski operationon the North Shoremountains.There theyprovided overnight bunksand rented out wooden skisthat customers would strapon before gliding downa snow-covered heap ofsawdust.

A couple of yearslater, that building wasdismantled, moved upto the west shore ofFirst Lake, where snowconditions were better,

and renamed HollyburnSki Camp.This facility wasoperated by Swedish settlerOscar Pearson and hiscousins from 1927 to 1946.

Skiing and ski jumpingsurged in popularity duringthis time and privatecabins began to pop up onHollyburn Ridge, manyof them built out of woodsalvaged from the by-thendefunct mill buildings andlogging flumes in the area.

In 1946, the Burfieldfamily bought the ski campand renamed it HollyburnSki Lodge.The recreationsite thrived until the mid-1950s when it began toface stiff competition frommore accessible ski areas onneighbouring mountains.Business on HollyburnMountain slowed rightdown and many privatecabins fell into disrepairduring this lull.

Cypress ProvincialPark was established in1975, largely in responseto a logging controversythat sparked public furor,and the alpine ski hillopened. A decade later, in1984, when Cypress BowlRecreations Ltd. took overoperation of the downhilland cross-country areas,now collectively referred

to as Cypress Mountain, italso purchased HollyburnLodge from the Burfields(and removed the word“ski” from the name).

It is the only remainingcommercial lodge builton the North Shoremountains before 1960.Two other historic lodgeson Hollyburn Mountain,Hi-View andWestlake,burned down in 1965 and1986, respectively.

Today, HollyburnLodge is a popular reststop in Cypress Mountain’sNordic area, a spot wherecross-country skiers andsnowshoers can grab ahot meal and a cold beer.And although CypressBowl Road now winds upthe mountainside, makingHollyburn Ridge easilyaccessible by car, the redand white lodge remainsnestled in the woods, a 20-minute hike from moderncivilization.

Warmer,wetterwinters part of climate trendnoted.

Conditions are justas sopping on Cypress,where cross-country trails,snowshoe paths, the tubepark and ski trails are closeduntil the weather gets a bitcolder and drier.

Thanks to theirsnowmaking efforts during acold snap at the end of 2014,Cypress has the equivalentof 162 football fields withone foot of snow. However, apaltry snowfall over the pastweek has prevented Cypressfrom opening up more of themountain.

The pond is open forskating on Grouse Mountainbut the downhill runs areclosed until more snow falls.

One of the skiers whois staying away from thehills over the Family Daylong weekend is Universityof British Columbiaclimatology associateprofessor Simon Donner.

The wet weather is likelypart of a larger patterncaused by global warming,according to Donner.

“The general warmingtrend . . . is making thingslike this a little morecommon and a little moresevere,” he said.

Donner has spoken and

written at length on thesubject of global climatechange caused by humanactivity.

“You can never look atsome particular weatherevent and say ‘A-ha! It’sdue to global warming,’”he said, discussing Friday’srainstorm. “But the newsthat I’ve seen in the past fewdays and the weather I’veseen in the past few days,this is exactly what peoplehave been predicting.”

As those bad yearson the slopes becomethe rule rather than theexception, Donner saidhe wonders how resorts atlower elevations will survivewhen daytime rain negatesovernight snowmakingefforts.

“The top ofWhistler’sstill going to be getting snowin the winter 50 or 100 yearsfrom now.The places youworry about are the placesmore on the margins,” hesaid. “The thing I’d worryabout for places like Cypressand Seymour, is even thoughyou’re going to have a lot ofnights that are cold enoughto make some snow, thosewarm temperatures duringthe day make the conditionsterrible. . . .Who wants togo skiing when it’s 7 C andraining outside?”

For skiers asking thatsame question, Mt. Seymouris hoping an island retreatmight be the answer they’relooking for. Mt.WashingtonAlpine Resort on

Vancouver Island is offeringcomplimentary skiing andsnowboarding for Mt.Seymour season pass holderswhile the North Shoremountain waits for snow.

Wednesday that shouldn’t bea problem.

“It is a challenge to meetthe demand but it is essentialand we’re doing it,” Cadieuxsaid.

“It’s about rebalancing.It’s about doing worksmarter. It’s about thistype of work that we’veannounced today wherebywe’ve simplified the

process by which peopleaccess services.”

Health MinisterTerryLake added that B.C. spendsabout $1.4 billion per year onmental health and substanceabuse issues, which he saidis 60 per cent more than thebudget in 2001.

Dear Editor:We read and listen to your columnist Keith

Baldrey on a regular basis. Also, my husband andI read the North Shore News regularly, includingeditorials and letters to the editor.

We moved to the North Shore ofVancouverfrom Edmonton in 2007.

The traffic has increased a great deal sincethat time.

Many of us are voting No in the transitreferendum, not because of the 0.5 per cent salestax increase, but because of how it will be used.

We understand why those living in Surrey andother outlying areas, as well as those people goingto UBC want to improve their transportation.

Our concern, however, is that not only do wenot trustTransLink as it is managed now, butof more concern is that other than increasingthe travel of the SeaBus, nothing is planned toimprove traffic on the North Shore.

It is time all the mayors, as well as civicand provincial governments, realize that theNorth Shore is part of (the MetroVancouverregion) and needs to have our traffic and transitimproved.

A new bridge was built to replace the PortMann bridge, the Pattullo Bridge will be

improved, the Golden Ears Bridge was also builtto accommodate residents in outlying areas.

We on the North Shore, especially those usingthe Lions Gate Bridge, need another bridge orthe “twinning” of the Lions Gate Bridge to helpmove traffic onto and off the North Shore.

Many residents from MetroVancouver aswell as tourists, use the Lions Gate Bridge daily,yet other than repairs to this bridge, nothing isplanned to alleviate this situation.

The major intersection of TaylorWay and

Marine Drive is a “symphony of horns” severaltimes a day seven days a week, due to thosetrying to get onto this bridge.

It is with the above concerns in mind, thatmany people will vote No for the tax increaseuntil we see our traffic problem dealt with in afair manner.

Thank you for allowing others to send theiropinions to you.Dianne JampolskyWestVancouver

Ad romanceWhen the teachers’ strike divided

the province last summer,everyone in B.C. supported

the government — financially, if notphilosophically.

That’s because the Liberal governmentshelled out $350,000 for Google adsand sponsored Facebook posts whileclassrooms were empty. Except for a fewsocial media users who’ve lost defamationsuits, it’s tough to think of anyone who’sspent that kind of dough on social media.

And who got the taxpayers’ money?The same marketing firm that designedthe Liberal logo and helped push ChristyClark to victory in her bid for the party’sleadership. All apparently without acontract for the work ever having gone totender.

The NDP jumped on the scandal,admonishing Clark for not investing thatcash in education.They’re right.

The Liberals reached into our pockets towin our minds, even as they were claimingthere was no more money for teachers’demands.

Education Minister Peter Fassbenderdefended the ad campaign on the groundsthe Liberals had a responsibility to presentClark’s side of things — a side apparentlyinadequately represented on everyTVnews show, radio program, and newspaperarticle covering the strike.

As evidence for the success of the socialmedia onslaught, Fassbender pointed tothe huge number of parents who signed upfor the $40-a-day strike stipend.

Apparently we were bought with ourown money not once, but twice on thatscore.

Clark was elected to lead, not to sell.Unfortunately that’s something

politicians increasingly don’t seem to beable to distinguish between.

Dear Editor:I am writing in response to Glen Parker’s letter

“Pipeline Co-operation Needed” in yourDec. 3 issue. He states that the use (andexpansion) of North American pipelines is thelowest risk alternative for transporting Albertanoil.The lowest risk alternative is, in fact, to stopproducing and using fossil fuels altogether.Theextraction, transport, and use of fossil fuels isdangerous and destructive. It is imperative that allregions begin to produce their own energy locally.The state ofVermont has such an initiative, and

the Philippines, El Salvador, and Iceland generateover a quarter of their energy needs from localgeothermal power, a relatively safe and cleanresource. As few as 100 geothermal projects couldprovide all of Canada’s electrical energy needs,and there is enough available here to exceed amillion times our current demand.Time to havesome vision and abandon the primitive, short-sighted reliance on resources that burn, explode,and pollute.Howard AbelNorthVancouver

It’s time to look at geo-thermal alternative


VIEWPOINT

As the child of twointelligent, loving parentsI’ve grown up thinkingthat the adults around us,particularly the parents,typically have the rightanswers.

That pristine picture inmy mind is starting to geta little blotchy these days.Almost as if it’s got a rash.Like, say, from measlesor something, to pick arandom example.

I walk to work everyday and there’s one partof my walk that gets mefeeling a little anxious. It’snot the house with the oddcombination of a “BewareDobermans” sign postedto a very thin, ricketyfence that seems to featureseveral Doberman-sizedgaps.

It’s not the busycommuter street that has acrosswalk that every driverseems to mistake for thefinish line at TalladegaSuperspeedway. It’s notthe other obviously dog-crazy house on my route,a.k.a.The House at PoohCorner.

The scary part ofthe walk is actually theelementary school I passevery day. It’s not thekids — I don’t think theystart carrying weaponsuntil junior high. No,it’s the parents and theirautomobiles.The drop-offzone at elementary schoolsis like Lord of the Fliesexcept with fewer rules.

Every day I walk bythe school during themorning rush and watch

parents cram their giantpickup trucks and SUVsonto the one tiny streetthat’s already packed full ofcars and buses where theythen must furiously waitfor eight minutes to getwithin 20 feet of the schoolso they can finally dropoff their kid.They do thisinstead of simply stoppingon one of the other streetssurrounding the school andwalking the extra 30 steps.

Earlier this week Iwatched a mother stopher car in the middle ofthe tiny street and thenshout her kid out the door— right into oncomingtraffic — as a line of carsformed down the block.As the line continued togrow behind her, eventuallyturning a corner toanother busy street, thewoman punctuated herperformance by honkingher horn. I can only guessthat she was either tryingto alert her child about aforgotten backpack or shehad bonked the horn whilereaching down to check

on the hashbrowns in herdash-mounted deep fatfryer.

I walk by this sceneevery day and at least twicea week some parent nearlykills me, racing aroundthe school. I’m just gladI’m a tall-ish adult humanthat the drivers eventuallynotice in the crosswalk.What about the rare kidwho gets to walk to school?Maybe they should getguns.

Actually no, that doesn’twork either — a three-year-old in New Mexicoshot both his father andpregnant mother last weekafter reaching into hismother’s purse lookingfor a phone and insteadpulling out a loaded pistol.This comes after anotherincident last December inwhich an Idaho womanwas killed in the middle ofWal-Mart when her two-year-old reached into herpurse and grabbed a loadedhandgun.

Say what you wantabout natural selection, butthat poor kid now has togrow up knowing he killedhis mom. In a Wal-Mart.

When you’re reallyyoung you think thatparents have all the rightanswers.When some kidshit their teenage years theystill think parents haveall the right answers butthey ignore them becausethey’re lame.

For me it took becominga parent myself to fullyrealize that all the otherparents in the world don’t

have all the right answers.In fact, they’re just thesame idiots you’ve grownup with, only now they havea little copy of themselvesthat they can play Godwith.

Which brings us back tomeasles.You know — thehighly contagious diseasethat was a deadly killerbefore vaccinations virtuallywiped it out, only nowit’s making a comebackbecause a lot of parents arechoosing not to vaccinatetheir children.You know— the disease that’s makinga comeback because onedoctor published one studythat said vaccines mightcause autism, and then thatone study was debunkeddozens and dozens of timesand that one doctor, whohas been stripped of hismedical licence, was shownto be not just the authorof a tainted study but, infact, a fraudster who madelarge sums of money off hisfraudulent study.Yes, thosemeasles.

Cars, guns, videoscreens, high fructose cornsyrup — there are so manymanmade things that can

harm our kids, why are wejeopardizing something thatwe happened to get right?I guess you can add viralInternet trash to the longlist of manmade killers.

I have two young boyswho are not yet old enoughto have taken both of

their measles vaccines. Ifeither of them ended upgetting a swollen brainbecause some parentdecided not to vaccinatetheir child and then tookthem to the Magical World

CAPSULEcommentsIf you have arthritis, can you predictthe weather? We often hear thatarthritics can tell when the weather

is about to change.There is probablysome truth tothis. A dropin barometricpressurewill allowinflamed joints

to swell more andof course cause more pain. Weathercan also have an effect on asthmaand migraines as well.

One of the nice things aboutworking in our pharmacy is thatyou can really get to know yourcustomers. Let us get to know you.

Early chairlift a hair-raising journeyTram Co., the single-seatlift saved skiers an arduoushike, allowing them toride from Hat-Inn at 300metres to Hi-View Lodgeat 850 metres in just 12minutes, albeit a somewhatharrowing 12 minutes.

“Rules and regulationsregarding safety were notas stringent in those days,”recalls Grant, chairman ofHollyburn Heritage Society.He was seven when he tookhis first ride, the chair’s too-high restraining bar offeringlittle protection fromgravity. High above MarrCreek Canyon, the chairstopped abruptly and beganto sway to and fro.

“I was absolutelyterrified,” Grant recalls.Fortunately, that episodedidn’t deter the resilientseven-year-old and bettermemories were soon made.

“After that first trip wejust loved getting on thechairlift and doing the walkup to Hollyburn Lodgeand renting skis from FredBurfield and using the ropetow on the Popfly Hill,” hesays, “and all the kids youwould know from school,they were up there.Thosewere good times.”

Since the heritage

society began documentingthe history of the lodge16 years ago, Grant hascollected hundreds ofphotographs and heard

countless tales of sportinglife on the ridge.

When he steps inside thelodge today, he is aware ofall those who have stood

there before him.“I see these young faces

in the lodge. Some peoplewould say they’re ghosts. Iwould say they’re spirits ofthe happy form.”

When Jackie Swansonwas growing up inWestVancouver, in the winter,her father would bundleher into an overstuffedsnowsuit and take her upthe mountain.

“We’d go up the(Hollyburn) chairlift, thathas since burnt down, andhe’d try to teach me how toski, which didn’t turn outso well at that time,” shesays with a laugh.

Later, the two of themwould bring their dog anda big pot of chili up to a10-by-10-foot rental cabinand spend the night in thewoods. And as a teenager,Swanson and her friendswould hike up the ridge onsummer weekends, avoidingbears along the way.Hollyburn Lodge standsout in her memories.

“It’s just always beenthere,” she says.

Eight years ago,Swanson and her husbandpurchased one of therustic, hike-in cabins onHollyburn Ridge. Of the

300 cabins built in the area,about 100 remain scatteredthroughout the foreston land leased from theDistrict ofWestVancouver.For this mountaincommunity, HollyburnLodge has always been, andstill is, an important socialhub.

“It’s really thecornerstone of thecommunity and I say

that because it’s wherewe gather to meet eachother,” Swanson says. “It’sour recreation, it’s ourcommunity centre, it’sour history and we’re allconnected to it in someway.”

It’s a diverse cross-section of mountain-lovingpeople who meet at the

Lodge a special place for decadeslodge for company andentertainment, she adds.

“It’s a real mix of ages.It doesn’t matter how oldyou are, especially on dancenights, you’re going to getfive-year-olds dancing with70-year-olds and 80-year-olds and everything inbetween. It’s just a beautifulmelding of generations.”

● ● ●

The bulk of the capitalrequired to rebuildHollyburn Lodge,$500,000, is comingfrom Cypress Mountain’sownership group, CNLLifestyle Properties,while the District ofWestVancouver is pitching in$200,000 and B.C. Parks iscontributing $100,000 fromits Olympic Legacy Fund.

“The time for thiscouldn’t come sooner,”Joffrey Koeman, directorof sales and marketing forCypress Mountain, says ofthe renewal project.

For the past 80-plusyears, the lodge has been aspecial place, says Koeman,“and hopefully for anotherhundred years it’s going tobe the same type of thing.”

A major componentof the restoration work

will involve connectingthe lodge to a sewer line.Currently, septic waste iscabbed out by snowmobile,a job that can’t be doneunless there is snow on theground.With a sewer linelink, Cypress Mountain willhave the option of turningthe lodge into an all-seasonfacility.

“It could be used

for summer camps andoutdoor schools, that typeof thing.There’s a numberof different options.Obviously it has to beeconomically feasible todo these types of things,but it definitely opens thedoor to more things that wehaven’t been able to do upthere in the previous years,”Koeman says.

Plans also includeinsulation to make heatingmore efficient, and bringingthe kitchen up to modern-day standards.

“With a properfoundation and increasein the size of the kitchen,storage, and properwashrooms out there, it’llbe a lot easier to run as welland a lot more user-friendly

for guests,” says Koeman.

Hearing that HollyburnLodge would finally getthe upgrade it so neededcame as an overwhelmingrelief to Don Grant, butthe news was tinged withsadness.Two of the peoplewho originally startedadvocating in the late

1990s for the restorationof the lodge, Bob Tapp andGord Knight, both passedaway in the last year beforetheir shared goal wasrealized.

“So it’s kind of abittersweet thing — butmostly sweet,” says Grant.“We wish they were therefor the grand opening.”

Over the decades, bitsand pieces of the board-and-batten-sided lodge havebeen removed and replaced,leaving little of the originalstructure remaining. Still,Grant is hopeful that muchof the current buildingmaterial can be kept,ensuring the lodge retainsits rustic charm. His fingersare crossed that the woodplank floorboards can besalvaged.

“It will capture thefeel, the ambience of thepresent-day lodge, but itwill also create a buildingthat is going to exist forgenerations to come,” hesays of the renewal.

If they were still aroundtoday, the pioneers whoerected the original skilodge would likely bepleased to hear that it’sslated for restoration.

North Shore residents are discovering a newtechnology to alleviate allergic symptoms such assneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, fatigue and otherunpleasant effects.

For years, North Shore resident Jenny Craigsuffered from allergic reactions to different foods,seasonal changes in both spring and fall and, mostfrustratingly, dogs.

“My brother has the cutest dog and I love him todeath, but I couldn’t play with him or really go tomy brother’s house,” she said.

“I would still do it, but I would suffer thesymptoms because I love him so much.”

“Her skin would break out in a rash and her eyeswould get itchy.”

She tried to treat the symptoms with high dosesof vitamin C and other homeopathic remedies, butthey never worked, so she’d occasionally resort toBenadryl.

“I’m a very natural person I don’t believe in drugsand medications and that sort of thing, so it was areal desperate thing to go to the Benadryl just so Icould play with the dog,” she said.

That’s one of the things that drew her to NorthShore’s Laser Allergy Relief – it was a naturalsolution to her problem.

Laser Allergy Relief reprograms the body’s reactionto allergic substances with the objective of leavingpatients symptom-free.

Unlike old allergy testing methods that involvedskin prick, scratch, scrap and patch tests as ameans of diagnosing allergies, North Shore’s LaserAllergy Relief is a high tech, non-invasive system.

To determine what the allergies are, a formof bio-feedback is used where the electronicfrequencies or signatures of various foods, plants

or environmental substances are tested on the skinsurface through a cuff worn on the arm.

Eight sensors on the cuff record the skin’s reactionto these substances and tabulate the results ina computer program. The computer can monitorliterally hundreds of substances in a matter ofminutes by determining if the skin is reacting in aninflammatory way.

If you’re an allergy sufferer, North Shore LaserAllergy can help to alleviate your symptoms. Callthe number below for more information or checkout their website.

THETRANSITIONTORESIDENTIAL CARE Aworkshop designed to helpfamily caregivers who areconsidering residential careoptions for a person withdementiaThursday, Feb. 12,6:30-8:30 p.m. at the NorthShore Resource Centre,

My daughter is astudent at Simon FraserUniversity.

It’s been a long timesince I’ve seen the insideof a classroom but Iremember one of mycollege lectures like ithappened yesterday. I wasa college student living inToronto.

A visiting professor, asociologist from McMasterUniversity, gave a lectureto our class on happiness.According to the professor,people who identifiedthemselves as beinghappy share four thingsin common.They have apartner, someone to sharetheir life with.They havea passion for somethingand, if they are fortunate,they’re able to turn theirpassion into a career.Theyare blessed with goodhealth for most of their life

and for want of a betterword they are lucky in life.Bad things can happen togood people. It’s random.

We knew all aboutthat. At the time one ofour classmates was lyingunconscious in a hospital,the victim of domesticviolence. She recoveredfrom her injuries but neverreturned to school.

The professor’stheory was simple andit made sense to me. Idecided then and thereto become a sociologistand I transferred into thesociology department atSFU the following year.

Anyway, one morninglast week I dropped mydaughter off at SFU andas I watched her walk upthose same stairs that Iwalked up almost 50 yearsago, memories of thatlecture came flooding back

to me.Many of us who

attended the professor’slecture were still teenagers.Would the good professorhave given the samelecture if his audiencewas a group of seniors?The professor isn’t here toanswer that question but Isuspect not.

Most universitystudents don’t worryabout outliving theirsavings. Lots of seniors do.Someone once said thatthose who think moneycan’t buy happiness are

not shopping at the rightstores.

Are the very richhappier than the rest of us?The research shows thatover time, lottery winnersare no happier than theywere before hitting thejackpot; and, as longas retirees have enoughmoney to cover their basicexpenses, more money haslittle effect on happiness.

What matters more?Good health and goodfriends.

The advice to seniorson how to stay healthy

hasn’t changed muchover the years. Eat right,exercise in moderationand get the right amountsleep.The idea that socialinteraction is linked tohappiness also isn’t new.But some of the newerresearch that suggestsit’s better for seniorsto be overweight thanunderweight and that anetwork of good friendsis more likely than closefamily members toincrease longevity in olderpeople, is certainly raisinga few eyebrows.

Is there a connectionbetween aging andhappiness? Study afterstudy concludes that olderdoesn’t just mean wiser, italso means happier.

None of us are happyall the time. But happinessappears to be one of thebenefits that come withage.

Last month’s Sun PeaksOkanagan Winter WineFestival yielded a wealthof tastings that includedeverything from icewine and Bordeaux styleblending sessions tocheese and chocolate.

With Canadian winegoes Canadian cheese,for sure. For Canadiancheese with B.C. Syrah, Imatched each of six VQASyrahs with a 100 per centCanadian milk cheese.

It was a fun experience,and while I wasn’t sureif the matches (plannedahead without tasting)would work in every case, Iwas pleased to find that for

the most part they workedvery well.

In wine terms, Syrahhas a relatively briefhistory in B.C., whichprior to the early ’90s wasproducing little in the wayof palatable reds, with theexception of a few hybridssuch as Chancellor (made,incidentally, by Calona’sHoward Soon).

However, in 1991,Alex and Kathleen Nicholproved the naysayers wrongwith the first successfulSyrah planting on theNaramata Bench.Theyproved beyond a doubtthat you could grow goodSyrah in B.C., like anythingelse, as long as it was in theright place, in this case ahot spot below a steep hill.

In 2004, the Syrahacreage stood at 191 acresand it’s now the fifth mostplanted red grape in theprovince with almost 600acres planted and accountsfor about 10 per cent of thetotal red grape production.

Some of thatmomentum came fromthe remarkable successof Aussie Shiraz, which iswidely credited for turning

a whole generation on towine. Most of the time inB.C., we refer to the varietyas “Syrah,” which tends tobe a deliberate nod towardsa cooler climate style.Our Syrahs may not beas big and bold and juicy

(although some are) andthey tend to look towardsRhone rather than Barossa.

Much of Syrah’sB.C. success can also becredited to our growingappetite for more food-friendly styles.While it maystart out with big, boldand juicy dark berry notes,underneath there can begreat structure and thatstreak of Okanagan acidity,as well as a hallmarkpeppery note. All thatmeans it can also be a slamdunk for cheese.

Some fun matches fromthe seminar included: Road13 with Boursin pepperthat played perfectly offthe wine’s black peppernotes; CC Jentsch Syrah2012, whose smokinessnicely matched Bothwell’sExtra Old Maple SmokedCheddar; and Quebec’sFromagerie L’Ancêtre,a superb three-year-oldcheddar, whose sharpedge but sweet, rich bodyproved ideal with thestructure, weight andjuiciness of Sandhill SmallLots Phantom Creek 2012.Next time you’re planningsome wine and cheese,you would do well to trackdown a couple of these.

I’ve never been a realfan of wine and chocolate,

well, not entirely. Buta session with SteveVenables of Similkameen’sForbidden Fruit Wineryand Rocky MountainChocolate Factory provedmore than seductive, andalso that seriously well-made fruit wines can be theperfect match for variousstyles of quality chocolate.

The star of theshow (and a slamdunk for Valentine’sDay): Forbidden FruitCerise d’Eve with darkchocolate. And a closesecond: Forbidden FruitImpearfection, with darkchocolate and gingercluster.

I’ve long been a fan ofthis unique, all organic(mainly fruit) winery,which is nestled on astunningly beautifulsite on the edge of theSimilkameen River, justeast of Cawston.Take timeto visit next time you’re inthe area. Better still, takea picnic and enjoy whatthey’ve created. Find thewines at better private winestores.

MANDYTRICKETTContributingWriter

Forty-four strangers slowly assemble in thedrenching rain, huddling beneath a meagrelobby overhang. It’s only 7:30 a.m., dark anddreary on this anonymous Madrid streetcorner. I fleetingly wonder whether mydecision to volunteer for a week at an Englishas a second language (ESL) school in Spainwas a wise one.

I had been lured by the twin prospects of

meeting and helping a whole new set of people,and of enjoying a week’s free board and lodgingin a beautiful, remote area of Spain. Had I beennaïve?Too optimistic?

But as people introduce themselves and thechatting begins, I reckon it will be a congenialgroup.The group comprises the “victims” — asour Spanish students are fondly nicknamed— and the Anglos who have volunteered to helpthem improve their English skills.There areAnglos from the U.K.,Texas, Jamaica, Canada,Australia, South Africa, India.We speak in a

rainbow of accents and dialects: “divided bya common language,” someone quips. Noprevious teaching experience is needed, just ourenthusiasm and ability to talk.

Volunteering may be the best way possibleto learn another culture, but we’re not all youngenough or physically adventurous enough formore rugged assignments like digging wells inUganda, saving street dogs in South America, ordealing with the aftermath of a major disaster.

Teaching English as a second language in Andalucia

Spanish sessions

TRAVEL

Helping a person withtheir English may be tamecompared to that but it isnevertheless tremendouslyrewarding. Here in Spain,the students are as diverse astheir Anglo tutors: all ages,all backgrounds, rangingfrom the professional (alawyer, a civil engineer, anexecutive with the RéalMadrid soccer team) tothe unemployed.They areall united in a commonbelief that improved Englishskills equal improvedcareer opportunities.Withunemployment in Spaincurrently around 25 percent, these individuals areseriously committed to theirstudies.

We board the coach

that will take us deepinto southern Spain, tothe remote Coto delVallenational park, some fivehours away. Each Anglomust sit next to a Spanishstudent from the get-go: fivehours talking to completestrangers on a bus? Am Icrazy? My first companionis Cristina, a neurologist,who shows me all the sightsas we leave the city. She isso proud of her country andI realize how little I knowabout Spanish culture;how little I rememberabout Cervantes, Segovia,Dali, Picasso, El Cid; howsuperficial my knowledgeof flamenco or paella.Yes, Iquickly decide, this week isgoing to be a great culturalexchange.

The program leaders

provide ample help for theAnglos along the way, likea daily idiom to discuss ora list of conversation topicsto choose from. Sessionsare mixed between 1:1, 2:2,larger groups, telephonecalls. Any qualms I hadabout my ability to talk tostrangers for eight hoursa day disappear — simplybecause the “victims”are destined to becomemy friends. Each Angloworks with each Spaniardon a rotational basis andafter the obvious startingpoints (“Where do youcome from?” “Wheredo you work?” “Whatare your hobbies?”), wefind ourselves discussinganything and everything. Byday six, we’re into intensedebates about politics,unemployment, gay rights,bullfighting.

The remote locationsselected for these coursesare “so that the victimscan’t escape,” as ourcourse director Jason, atransplanted Canadian,so aptly puts it.We travelthrough the rural centre ofSpain, passing windmills,broad vineyards, fields ofapple blossom set againstspring-green grass andguarded by neat bordersof olive trees. As we enterthe Sierra Cazorla with itssnow-capped mountainsin the distance, this isbeautiful countryside.Theroad becomes steeper,narrower, with hairpinbends giving us a fewwhite-knuckle moments.Still we climb, up through

theValle Qualividir, an areaof spruce and pine forests,rocky terrain. Upstaged bythe road and the scenery, thebus falls silent — a uniqueoccurrence, trust me.

We stay deep inside thenational park at a hotel builtof pale honey coloured stone,with outdoor pool, patios,even a spa for the weary.Whowould want to escape this?Especially as we tuck into atypical tapas meal featuringSerrano ham, Russiansalad, local cheeses, olives,patés, Spanish omelette andcroquettes. It’s a leisurelymeal, so typical of Spain, andit reassures us that we will bevery well fed this week.Theterm “splendid isolation”comes to mind.

The working day lastsfrom 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.and at no time are theSpaniards allowed to speakSpanish, not even amongstthemselves during the briefcoffee breaks. It’s totalimmersion and must bementally exhausting forthem. Did I mention theywere committed? Eveningspass by with entertainment:

hilarious skits, a yogasession, slide presentations,a surprisingly good talentshow. One evening, thestudents perform a Galicianqueimada ceremony for us.We feel honoured becausethe ceremony is traditionallyperformed with familyand close friends. A tableis laden with an array ofstrong liquor, sugar, spicesand lemons to make thequeimada punch.Threewitches recite incantations,acting suitably ghoulishlywhile one lights the alcoholicbrew and lets it burn brightblue in the darkened room.Traditional spells andincantations are recited, sothat special (and positive)powers are conferred tothe queimada and thosedrinking it.The ensuingdrink is strong and spicy andpretty good.

Suddenly, it’s time forfarewells. It’s funny howfast a week can go, giventhe right circumstances,and after just seven daystogether, these farewellsare surprisingly emotional.I’m sad because this is

good-bye to our wonderfulSpanish companions, whohave shared so much oftheir culture; sad to leavethis beautiful national parkand return to the city. Backon the highway to Madrid,I already know I wantto volunteer again soon,even if I’m not going to bedigging wells in Uganda,saving street dogs in SouthAmerica, or dealing withthe aftermath of a majordisaster.Volunteers, after all,come in all shapes, sizes andtalents.If you go:

ESL schools offeringvolunteer programs includediverbo.com (courses inSpain and Germany) andenglishsummit.eu (coursesin Italy).Volunteers areresponsible for getting to acentral point, for exampleMilan or Madrid, and thiswill likely mean overnightstays there at the start andend of the course.Theschools do not cover thesecosts or any personal costs.Volunteers must have theirown medical and otherinsurances, too.

RRSP contributiondeadline loomsYou must deal with theRRSP deadline. But youmay delay your RRSPchoice.

Monday, March 2 isthe deadline to make acontribution for the 2014tax year.The sooner youcontribute, the better. Butafter you contribute, don’tlet smooth, well-plannedsales pitches pressure youinto which way you investyour RRSP money.

Take the time youneed; wait until you haveconsidered and understoodall the choices.

Almost all RRSPcompanies offer a cash ormoney market account

where you can park yourcontribution.Theseinstruments don’t yieldmuch interest, so don’tdelay your decision toolong.

“I already have anRRSP investment programso can’t I simply add mynew contribution to that?”you might ask.

First, review whetherthis instrument isstill performing up toexpectations and, evenmore important, whetherit’s still appropriate foryour present and likely

future situation.For example, you might

have decided recentlyto go back to school orbuy a home in the nearfuture, and might need to“borrow” from your RRSPto provide the money. Oryou might have decidedto take time off work orretire sooner, and withdrawmoney from your RRSPearlier than originallyexpected.

In these cases, youwould need to make sureyou had fairly liquid/accessible money in the

RRSP so you wouldn’t beforced to sell equity fundsor stocks, for example, justwhen the stock market hadslumped.

Unless you are startingyour first RRSP, having aself-directed RRSP makesmoving money from oneinvestment to another fareasier than having severaldifferent plans.

Rarely will you staywith the same instrumentor company for the life ofyour RRSP and then RRIF.If you have separate plans,it can take time and cost

service charges to close oneplan, transfer the moneyand then open a new plan.

A self-directed planallows you to switch fromone type of investment toanother far more efficiently— and use the “park yourmoney” approach outlinedearlier.

Mountainbikers help train jumpydogI still recall my youthfulyears of biking the trailson the North Shoremountains.

Since then, I’ve sold myBrodie (mountain bike)and bought a Tex (quarterhorse).

My equine adventureshave taken me abroadand the sure-footednessof my mount has allowedme to see some amazingcountryside. But this pastweekend my appreciationfor the local mountains wasrenewed.

I wasn’t on horseback,but was working witha dog that has someissues with mountainbikes. Prior to this day,we had been workingfor almost a year onbehavioural managementand leadership skills alongwith socialization and

desensitization to bikes.Now it was time to put thehard work to the test.

I met Sylvester (nothis real name) and hisowner at the beginningof the trail at 11:30 a.m.The trail entrance waslined with mountainbikers.When Sylvestergot out of the vehicle, heimmediately went into

prey drive, focusing hisattention intently on themoving objects — in thiscase the mountain bikers.We patiently waited forhim to calm down and, tomy surprise, some of themountain bikers seemed toknow we were training andoffered to ride by slowlyto help. In the past, thesound of spinning wheelswould trigger Sylvester’sprey drive so swiftly thathe would pull his owneroff her feet as he chaseddown the bikers.Within afew minutes of the bikesmoving slowly around him,Sylvester was calm enoughto walk the trails. I smiled asilent “thank you” to thosetwo guys who helped usout.

We took a trail that wasa series of switchbacksup the hill.This was a

designated hiking trail andwe did not come acrossone mountain biker on ourascent up the mountain.We intentionally took thistrail to tire Sylvester out abit before we got into theserious training.

Once we joined theBaden Powell Trail and ourdescent began we startedto run into our quarry forthe day, mountain bikers.Sylvester could hear thewheels approaching frombehind and began to getagitated.We moved him offto the side and into a sitto allow the bikers to pass.To my surprise, the bikersstopped and waited forus to get Sylvester settled.When Sylvester began toget aroused as the bikesstarted to move, a riderasked us, “Are you traininghim? How can I help? I

love dogs, I have a big guylike this at home and wishI could bring him along theride with me but it’s notsafe for him.”

I smiled and said, “Youguys are awesome, andyes, it would be so greatif you could just ride byslowly while he gets calm.”And they did, every one ofthem! The young man whooffered to help even got offhis bike and gave Sylvestera big rub behind the earswhich just made Sylvester’sday!

We carried on our hikealong the Baden Powelland came across a sort ofmountain bikers’ meetingplace.There were a bunchof them hanging out ontheir bikes and some wereriding through. It was aperfect place for training.We walked towards agroup of bikers leaningagainst their bikes and hadSylvester sit at a distancefrom them for a fewseconds when one the ofthe young gals asked if wewere doing some trainingand invited us over.

“This is amazing!” Ithought to myself.

Sylvester got excited aswe approached, but whenthe bikers came up to himto say hello his demeanorchanged from prey driveto play.We stood therechatting about dogs, peopleand bikes for a good 15minutes while Sylvesterinvestigated the bikes, theriders, their helmets andsoon ignored the bikespassing by.

We made our way out tothe street and were againengulfed by bikers, but bythis time Sylvester didn’tcare. One rider asked ifhe could say hello andSylvester obliged by givinghim a slobbery face lick,which he laughed off.

We had a fantastictraining day, all due to thegenuine helpfulness andkindness of the mountainbikers and I wish to saythank you.You have noidea how much you helpedSylvester and his owner.

With the endless trails, beachesand recreation areas in Northand West Vancouver, there’s aworld of puddles and busheswaiting for our four-leggedfamily members. A trip outcan often end up with a happypuppy who needs a seriousbath.

For three decades, NorthVancouver’s Success DogGrooming has set a highstandard for dog bathing andgrooming.

“We listen to our customers,and keep meticulous recordof every groom,” says owner,Rob Goodall. “This allows us toprovide our clients with thesame highly customizedhaircut every time theycome in--whetherit’s once a month oronce a year.”

But full groomsaren’t all they offer.“We have a widerange of servicesthat can be donewith no advancenotice. Eye areas, nailtrimming, express baths, andmuch more can be done withno appointment necessary. Wecan even do drop-in bath andbrushes for most dogs.”

And as of 2014 they can offerdog daycare services as wellat their nearby facility, A SpotFor Spot. “Expanding into dogdaycare is a natural directionfor any grooming shop, but fewhave the space to safely let thedogs run around,” co-owner,Richelle explains. “We have over3500 square feet at Spot, andbecause it’s just a short walkaway, we can now offer ourclients grooming and daycare onthe same day!”

NorthVancouver’s AdrianTongko is the answerto anyone who tellsyou that to become anelite athlete, a kid mustspecialize in a sport at ayoung age.

Tongko, an 18-year-oldwho graduated from Argylesecondary last year, is oneof 23 North Shore athletesnamed to Team B.C. forthe Canada Winter Gamesscheduled for Feb. 13-March 1 in Prince George.

Tongko will go for goldin snowboard slopestyle, afan-friendly, terrain-parkinspired event that debutedat the Winter Olympics lastyear.That’s a pretty goodachievement consideringTongko was born in thePhilippines and spent hischildhood there before hisfamily moved to NorthVancouver when he wasnine. So, was there muchsnow in the Philippines?

“No,”Tongko says

incredulously. “Ha. No. It’sway too hot. . . . Basketballwas pretty much what wasbig in the Philippines.””

In fact,Tongko hadnever even seen snowbefore he moved toCanada. Many elite skiersand snowboarders comefrom mountain families,learning to compete whilechasing their parents upand down the slopes froma very young age.Tongko’sfamily was not like that. Hedidn’t hit the slopes untilhe was 10 years old whenhe and his family, includingbrother Matt, motherChristine and fatherRobert, cautiously tried outthe snow.

“My mom skied, butshe couldn’t keep up withme and my brother,” hesays. “And my dad triedsnowboarding once. . . . itdidn’t go so well.”

Matt, five years olderthan Adrian, soon latchedonto snowboarding as hismountain sport of choice.“Obviously I wanted to

do whatever he did,” saysAdrian. “So my parentsgot me a snowboard and apass to Seymour. I’ve beensnowboarding ever since.”

The first time wastough.

“My butt hurt,” hesays. “I remember goingreally fast and never reallyturning.”

But he kept at it, movingover to Grouse after thefirst year and hitting theterrain parks whenever hecould.

“I kind of taught myselfhow to snowboard,” hesays. “I never did a class oranything. I always went upwith my friends.”

Whatever he wasteaching himself, it workedwell enough to landhim a spot on the B.CSnowboard DevelopmentTeam three years agounder the guidance ofcoach Dane Kaechele.

“We’ve been able togo travel to the States, getto come to Whistler everyweekend and train,” says

Tongko. “That was a bighelp.”

Tongko says he’sstarting to realize his fullpotential this season. Hisrecent results landed hima Top-2 ranking in theprovince and earned him aspot on Team B.C. for theCanada Winter Games.

Tongko says this wholeride has been “totallyunexpected.”

“I’m pretty excited,”he says. “I’m stoked to seewhat it’s going to be likecompetition-wise, what themountains are like there inPrince George.”

In Prince Georgehe’ll follow his normalgame plan of makinghis slopestyle runs lookespecially good.

“I like to put a lot ofstyle into my tricks, morethan amplitude,” he says.“Make it look good — putmy (personal) touch onsnowboarding. . . . It’s alot of fun.There’s lots offreedom in the sport. It’svery expressive — that’swhat I like about it.”

Tongko may besurprised at how far thesport has taken him butit’s even more surprisingfor other competitors and

snowboard fans who learnthat the guy throwing downthe sweet tricks on theslopes spent his childhoodin a tropical rainforest.

“They’re just surprised,”he says with a laugh.“They’re a little shocked.”

Tongko hopes to keepsurprising people on theslopes for as long as he can.

“Just keepsnowboarding, that’s it,” hesays about his future plans.“See where it takes me.”

• • •Other North Shorenotables headed to theCanada Winter Gamesinclude Katie Weaver, amulti-sport star who haswon national age-groupmedals in both track andfield and cross-countryskiing, and hockey playerJordy Bellerive, who wasselected No. 2 overall inthe 2014 WHL bantamdraft.
