Halloween firecrackers are banned in North Van: RCMPParents, children and drivers need to be extra cautious this Thursday when many trick-or-treaters will roam the streets

» neWS

The North Vancouver RCMP is reminding residents that fire-crackers are prohibited in both the city and district and fines range from $200 to $500 for setting them off.

Fireworks, however, are allowed in the district as long as a per-mit is obtained from the vendor or municipality by someone at least 18 years old and not lit on public property. Fireworks are banned in the city.

Fireworks, unlike firecrackers which spark on the ground, blow up in the sky and are considered relatively more safe.

The North Van RCMP also warns parents to not let children trick-or-treat alone; always have them walk with an adult or group of friends.

Costumes should be reflective and bright and masks the restrict vision shouldn’t be worn. It’s important, add the RCMP, to remind children to always wait outside a house for treats; never enter for any reason.

Homeowners should have their yards well lit and remove objects that could cause children to trip as they walk up the path.

When kids get home, parents should check their candy care-fully to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with.

Drivers have to be particularly careful on Halloween night in residential areas, said the RCMP. There will be more children on the streets and with the excitement of trick-or-treating, kids can easily forget basic pedestrian safety rules.

Parents can help by guiding their children and using a flash-light when crossing the street.

Presentation House Gallery eyes waterfront home

» NEWS

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK S t A f f R e P o R t e R

The world-renowned Presentation House Gallery is inching closer to being liberated from its current sti-

fling space and securing a new home on the Lonsdale waterfront.

During Monday’s City of North Vancouver council meeting, PHG director and curator Reid Shier unveiled a striking design plan proposed for the foot of Lonsdale Avenue at the existing Cates Shed site, which is sched-uled to be torn down.

Working with celebrated architectural design firm Patkau Architects, PHG has envisioned a new two-storey, 22,632-square-foot building with a reflective “skin” fash-ioned from an aluminum material that would be crumpled and then unfolded, explained Shier.

The gallery’s reflective exterior would take advantage of low ambient light and attract the eye of the passerby, even on a dreary winter day.

Inside the building, on the second floor, natural light will illuminate the 4,000-square-foot exhibition space with lofty ceilings. Adjacent to that area is pub-lic event space including a dramatic room with a large south-facing balcony for ban-quets and other functions.

The main floor would house a lobby, multi-purpose space and the potential for retail opportunities including a café and gallery gift shop. Admission to the gallery

will cost $5 for adults and be free for chil-dren and youth.

Shier said given the gallery’s expand-ed scope, expenses are projected to rise to from its current level of $853,000 to approximately $1.9 million in

Fake guns and costumes don’t mix: WVPD

» NEWS

West Vancouver police are urging Halloweeners not to carry fake guns and other weapons as part of their

costumes because officers could easily mis-take them as real.

Even though police are aware it’s the trick-or-treating season, they still have to respond to reports of firearms with the possibility the weapons are real, which can put the carrier, police and the public at risk.

“Like anywhere in the Lower Mainland there is history of offences involving firearms so we can’t just blanket assume it’s Halloween so therefore it wouldn’t be a real weapon. We do have to respond tactically,” said WVPD Const. Jeff Palmer.

“It’s an unnecessary risk for a costume or dramatic effect.”

In dim light, added Palmer, it can be dif-ficult for people to spot orange stoppers and other gadgets that are supposed to indicate a gun is actually a toy.

“Is it really that important for your costume to have a realistic weapon included in it? No.”

Reports of firearms made by the public have to be taken seriously, even if it is suspected to

be just part of a Halloween costume, he said. There were no incidents involving fake fire-

arms that Palmer was aware of on Oct. 25 and 26, the popular Halloween party week-end, but the expected mass of trick-or-treaters and others celebrating at night could spark concern for some West Van residents.

During the summer the WVPD were called out by security at Park Royal South who reported a teenager with a pistol tucked into the waistband of her pants.

Officers found the 13-year-old girl, who they say was carrying a pellet gun bought for her by an older sibling because she wanted to look like “a thug.”

A friend was also packing a fake gun, which was seized by police and destroyed.

The teens were lucky to get off with just a stern warning, said police at time.

After this incident, they advised reports of carrying firearms can lead to criminal charg-es.

North Shore palliative care doctor starts foundation to assist cash-strapped terminally ill patients

The dress code: flannel shirts and jeans.What else would you expect to read on

the invitation for the launch of the Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation next month?

The casual attire is an homage to the foun-dation’s namesake, Dr. Paul Sugar, whose unofficial uniform, even when he’s on duty treating patients at Lions Gate Hospital or the North Shore Hospice next door, is decid-edly un-doctor-like.

The well-known doctor’s other trademark — a grey ponytail that he’s been sporting for more than two decades — makes him easy to spot when he briskly arrives at the hospital cafeteria on this fog-filled Monday afternoon to talk about the new foundation to help ter-minally ill patients who are in financial need.

Through the years, Sugar, 65, has witnessed too many cash-strapped patients who are fighting against time, fretting over finan-cial issues when they should be focused on comfort, care and the support of family and friends.

Here’s an example of why he has helped start the new foundation.

Last year Sugar treated a young woman with an aggressive terminal illness. She wanted her family, who live in the U.S., to visit her over Christmas. She was unable to work because of her sickness and her landlord wouldn’t allow her family to stay with her, so she couldn’t afford to accommodate them.

Through the foundation, Sugar wants small wishes like this to come true for patients in need.

He hopes to be able to offer travel expens-es, accommodation, volunteer or nursing sup-port or even medical supplies to help seriously ill, palliative and terminally ill patients.

The goal of the foundation is to raise $50,000 in the first year to help those in need.

For years, Sugar has been pro-viding another kind of support to those patients.

Sugar’s days are spent orbit-ing the palliative care ward and chemo clinic, over to the hospice and sometimes beyond when he makes house calls to treat patients.

His style of personal care and compassion have become legendary on the North Shore. Pick up the obit page, and you will regularly read praise from families and friends for the care he gave their loved ones.

“A lot of people are quite grateful,” he says, almost reluctantly.

The doctor isn’t big on formalities (nobody calls him doctor and, yes, today he’s decked out in check flannel and faded denim) or accolades. He doesn’t even mention the fact that this year he was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for outstanding medical service in the field of pal-liative care and his dedication to the community for the past three decades or that in 2012 he was honoured as a VCH Health Care Hero and Provincial Health Care Hero.

When he sits down inside the hospital caf today, Sugar’s smartphone immediately starts to ring — and doesn’t stop.

“I make myself acces-sible to my patients,” he explains, answering the call.

Even when he’s away for a few days at his cabin in the Cariboo, like he was this past weekend, he

keeps his cell on and routinely checks in with the hospital about his patients.

“There’s probably a bed but you won’t get a

Pouring rain and windy, it wasn’t an ideal time for Chris Nemeth to take his

scouts on an overnight trip to a provincial campground near Harrison Hot Springs.

After setting up their tents they tried in vain to start a fire and soon their clothes and gear were soaking wet.

The young scouts didn’t get the chance to practise the skills they painstakingly learned that year, including how to cook and clean up outdoors.

“I thought it failed,” says Nemeth after receiving an award for civic commitment at a ceremo-ny held at West Van district hall on Monday evening.

“But then, when I was talking to the group when we got back, this little guy said ‘we’d rather learn things the hard way.’”

Despite the miserable weather, it turns out his scouts appreci-ated the experience of roughing it outdoors.

Nemeth, who was acknowl-edged as a team with his wife Irene, won one of seven awards that covered heritage, the arts, environment and civic commit-ment.

The married couple has dedi-cated more than 20 years to

guiding and scouting in West Vancouver, a passion that began when their children, Geoff and Jenny, showed an interest in becoming involved.

They are the backbone of the first scouting program in the dis-trict and continue to volunteer even now that their children are adults.

“The guy who started it — Baden-Powell — had it right 110 years ago,” says Nemeth. “Kids still want to have adventures, chop wood, be in the snow.”

Despite the chilly weather, Irene’s favourite time to camp is in the winter.

“There’s nothing like going to sleep warm...with proper insula-tion beneath.”

Survival exercises, such as mak-ing snow shelters, give the guides confidence in other areas of their lives, she adds.

Watershed moment It’s been nearly two decades since there was clear-cut logging in the Capilano and Seymour watersheds — and today half of the old logging roads have been deactivate

» COVER STORY

Will Koop and Paul Hundal reunite under a canopy of majestic western red cedar, hemlock and Douglas fir trees blanketed by an early morning mist in Capilano River Regional Park last

Monday.They relish in quintessential North Shore natural splendor, knowing

all too well the fragility of this second-growth forest. To the occasional passerby, they are an odd

pairing. Koop wears a multicoloured fleece jacket and casual pants, while Hundal is decked out in a dark pinstripe suit. Many seasons have cycled through the rainforest since the tireless environ-mental crusaders actively spent time here, and their hair has turned grey.

In the early ’90s, the two thirty-somethings would routinely meet in a starkly contrasting en-vironment — a sterile boardroom at the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s head office, where they would square off against bureaucrats in a deep-seated debate over logging the regional watersheds.

The GVRD, whose board of directors included all three North Shore mayors of the day, vacillat-ed for a decade on the highly contentious issue. On the one hand, multi-million-dollar revenues generated from the logging program helped subsi-dize the region’s water costs.

But the GVRD also faced mounting pressure from environmental groups armed with damning evidence of destructive landslides and cloudy drinking water, and who pointed to clear-cutting as the culprit.

“Often it came down to one vote,” recalls Koop of the GVRD board of directors’ decisions around logging and watershed management. “You could cut the tension with a knife.”

---

The unspoiled forests of the Capilano and Seymour river valleys, teeming with 200-foot-tall conifers as far as the eye could see, were coveted by the timber industry throughout most of the last century.

In the 1920s, logging was the lifeblood of North Vancouver’s economy. The Capilano Timber Company had established a large-scale harvesting

operation in the lower reaches of the Capilano River Valley and carved a railway line through the area.

At the same time, fresh drinking water was being funneled from Cap-ilano Creek to homes and businesses downstream and across the Bur-rard Inlet into Vancouver.

Environmental concerns around logging activity in the Capilano water-shed — including raging slash fires that routinely sent smoke billowing over the city and hydrological disturbances —prompted the provincial government to enact legislation to protect the water supply.

In 1924, provincial water rights comptroller Ernest A. Cleveland, in a lengthy report, recommended an end to logging in the 60,000-hectare watershed lands.

“I would not attempt to set a value on the watershed lands in the Coquitlam, Seymour and Capilano water-sheds as they constitute an almost invaluable asset of the [Greater Vancouver Water District] permitting the complete and entire control of the purity of the water supply for all time, so that neither now nor in the future will filtration or sterilization of the water be required,” wrote Cleveland in his report.

Heeding Cleveland’s advice, in 1927, the water district obtained a 999-year lease from the provincial government for control of Crown land within the wa-tershed areas to safeguard it from logging and mining interests — and keep it closed to the public.

By the time the Capilano Timber Company pulled out of the area in 1931, it had clear-cut 16 per cent of the 20,000-hectare Capilano watershed.

Cleveland went on to become the first chief commis-sioner of the water district and the namesake of North Vancouver’s iconic dam, which opened in 1954, two years after his death.

For three decades, the Capilano and Seymour wa-tershed forests fell silent, save for the sounds of nature — a babbling creek or a spotted owl hooting from its perch in one of the remaining old-growth conifer stands.

In the spring of 1967, that tranquility was dis-turbed when the water district’s lease agreement with the Ministry of Forests and Lands was amended to allow logging in the watersheds once again.

Glenn Bohn, spokesperson for Metro Vancouver, formerly known as the GVRD, said the regional district undertook what was known as a sus-tained yield forestry program, for about three decades.

“During this period, a small percentage of timber in each watershed was harvested and sold each year, to help generate revenue for the water district,” explained Bohn. “The areas logged were replanted with tree

seedlings.”To facilitate this new era of logging in the GVRD’s watersheds, close to

350 kilometres of roads were constructed through steep mountain slopes and previously undisturbed areas.

--- Hundal was an environmental champion, long before the water in his

West Van taps ran brown after a heavy rainfall.In the late ’80s, he was instrumental in saving a stand of old-growth

trees, some as mature as 900 years, on Cypress Ridge from being torn down to make room for a golf course.

A family lawyer by profession, Hundal spent his downtime doing land title searches and discovered the property in question was protected by a covenant restricting it to recreational use.

Friends of Cypress Ridge challenged the District of West Vancouver in B.C. Supreme Court, where a judge ruled that a golf course is considered a commercial operation.

The district’s only remaining option was to hold a referendum, which was defeated by close to a 2,000-vote majority.

Then, in the spring of 1990, Hundal scored another environmental victory, this time with the Save Lynn Canyon Park Association. Prior to that point, some parcels of Lynn Canyon were not clearly defined as protected parkland.

North Vancouver district was proposing two 950-home subdivisions and accompanying road be built between Lynn Creek and the Seymour River, as part of a long-term densification strategy.

Again Hundal did some digging into the past and uncovered a provi-sion set under Cleveland’s administration for those former water district lands: should they change hands the area will still remain a park.

“It blew me away when I found those documents,” says Hundal. “The [district] staff had simply forgotten. The corporate memory really isn’t that long.”

In November of the same year, an environmental storm was brewing in the Seymour River Valley. Close to 1,500 millimetres of rain fell in the Seymour watershed that month — 1,350 of which came down over two days.

On the second day, the heavy rains triggered a massive mudslide that originated in a clear-cut area. An avalanche of earth roared downslope towards Jamieson Creek and blew out a UBC research site before enter-ing the Seymour River and the drinking water supply.

Rain continued to wreck havoc on the area until the spring, trigger-ing 35 landslides, most of which were less than 2,000 cubic metres. The Jamieson Creek event, the largest landslide, had a volume of approxi-mately 5,000 cubic metres.

UBC faculty of forestry research showed six of the landslides initiated in forest clear-cuts, while 29 occurred in old-growth or mature reforested areas.

Still, the Jamieson Creek slide was enough to spark an environmental awakening in Koop and a host of other conservationists including Hun-dal and North Shore-based Friends of the Watersheds.

By 1992, Koop, a B.C. Tel phone line installer, had spent countless hours sifting through old water district files at the Vancouver Archives and B.C. Archives in Victoria.

“It was pretty intense — looking at all kinds of photographs and maps and documents,” recalls Koop.

He wrote a detailed report entitled Wake Up Vancouver, which con-tains what Koop calls forgotten stories and controversies around logging in the watersheds from the early days of the water district. Koop distrib-uted that report to elected politicians and gave a presentation on it to an audience of 300 people.

In 1995, he stepped up his sleuthing by trespassing in the Capilano watershed to see for himself the state of affairs inside.

“We always said it was like Vietnam — gated and barb wire,” chuck-les Koop.

It was an intense “intelligence” operation: 21-hour days in the water-shed, starting at 3:30 a.m., spent navigating the dark, cavernous forest replete with gangly roots and other obstacles. On Feb. 26, 1995, Koop celebrated his birthday with another clandestine journey through the Capilano valley.

After digesting what he considered to be a “poorly detailed” water dis-trict report on the effects of heavy winter rains in the watershed, Koop decided to go into the area again and document the landslides and road washouts with a camcorder. That alarming footage was handed over to Hundal who presented it to GVRD water district representatives.

“What we were hoping they were going to say was, ‘Look at these problems,’ but instead they said, ‘Look at these people — they are law-breakers,’” says Koop.

The tide turned eight months later, on Oct. 10 1995, when those served by the Capilano reservoir (about 1/3 of Greater Vancouver’s popu-lation) turned on their taps to see brown sediment pouring out.

It was the result of a massive landslide in the Capilano watershed that had released an estimated 40,000 cubic metres of clay, silt and for-est debris into the reservoir — enough to fill 5,000 dump trucks.

According to Koop, in the days after the landslide, GVRD staff pre-sented a map to the public that showed the slide had occurred away from any logging roads. Unsatisfied with the GVRD’s account of the event, Koop went back into the watershed once again and took pictures of the destruction.

Up until this point, Hundal hadn’t ventured into the watershed. But after observing the discrepancy between Koop’s photos and the GVRD’s map of slide, Hundal had to see for himself.

“His picture showed a completely different area, directly below a logging road. It turned out Will was right.”

Watershed moment It’s been nearly two decades since there was clear-cut logging in the Capilano and Seymour watersheds — and today half of the old logging roads have been deactivate

» COVER STORY

Will Koop and Paul Hundal reunite under a canopy of majestic western red cedar, hemlock and Douglas fir trees blanketed by an early morning mist in Capilano River Regional Park last

Monday.They relish in quintessential North Shore natural splendor, knowing

all too well the fragility of this second-growth forest. To the occasional passerby, they are an odd

pairing. Koop wears a multicoloured fleece jacket and casual pants, while Hundal is decked out in a dark pinstripe suit. Many seasons have cycled through the rainforest since the tireless environ-mental crusaders actively spent time here, and their hair has turned grey.

In the early ’90s, the two thirty-somethings would routinely meet in a starkly contrasting en-vironment — a sterile boardroom at the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s head office, where they would square off against bureaucrats in a deep-seated debate over logging the regional watersheds.

The GVRD, whose board of directors included all three North Shore mayors of the day, vacillat-ed for a decade on the highly contentious issue. On the one hand, multi-million-dollar revenues generated from the logging program helped subsi-dize the region’s water costs.

But the GVRD also faced mounting pressure from environmental groups armed with damning evidence of destructive landslides and cloudy drinking water, and who pointed to clear-cutting as the culprit.

“Often it came down to one vote,” recalls Koop of the GVRD board of directors’ decisions around logging and watershed management. “You could cut the tension with a knife.”

---

The unspoiled forests of the Capilano and Seymour river valleys, teeming with 200-foot-tall conifers as far as the eye could see, were coveted by the timber industry throughout most of the last century.

In the 1920s, logging was the lifeblood of North Vancouver’s economy. The Capilano Timber Company had established a large-scale harvesting

operation in the lower reaches of the Capilano River Valley and carved a railway line through the area.

At the same time, fresh drinking water was being funneled from Cap-ilano Creek to homes and businesses downstream and across the Bur-rard Inlet into Vancouver.

Environmental concerns around logging activity in the Capilano water-shed — including raging slash fires that routinely sent smoke billowing over the city and hydrological disturbances —prompted the provincial government to enact legislation to protect the water supply.

In 1924, provincial water rights comptroller Ernest A. Cleveland, in a lengthy report, recommended an end to logging in the 60,000-hectare watershed lands.

“I would not attempt to set a value on the watershed lands in the Coquitlam, Seymour and Capilano water-sheds as they constitute an almost invaluable asset of the [Greater Vancouver Water District] permitting the complete and entire control of the purity of the water supply for all time, so that neither now nor in the future will filtration or sterilization of the water be required,” wrote Cleveland in his report.

Heeding Cleveland’s advice, in 1927, the water district obtained a 999-year lease from the provincial government for control of Crown land within the wa-tershed areas to safeguard it from logging and mining interests — and keep it closed to the public.

By the time the Capilano Timber Company pulled out of the area in 1931, it had clear-cut 16 per cent of the 20,000-hectare Capilano watershed.

Cleveland went on to become the first chief commis-sioner of the water district and the namesake of North Vancouver’s iconic dam, which opened in 1954, two years after his death.

For three decades, the Capilano and Seymour wa-tershed forests fell silent, save for the sounds of nature — a babbling creek or a spotted owl hooting from its perch in one of the remaining old-growth conifer stands.

Who doesn’t love a Halloween love story featuring a Frankenstein

twinkle toes?Ballet Victoria is presenting

Frankenstein: A Zombie Love Story at Centennial Theatre this Saturday Nov. 2.

The eloquent drama unfolds when Frankenstein’s parts are harvested from a graveyard where a young couple, who died as they were about to be married, are bur-ied. The bride watches in horror as her groom’s heart is plucked out and brought to the laboratory.

Once the doctor realizes his mis-take, he attempts to destroy the creature, but Frankenstein flees to the graveyard where the Corpse Bride recognizes his heart and a twisted love story ensues.

“As the dancers and I worked on Frankenstein, it became clear that this truly needed to be a love story,” said Ballet Victoria artis-tic director Paul Destrooper. “We were inspired to create a gothic romance filled with grace, beauty, goose bumps and a touch of humour…”

Destrooper was inspired by Tim Burton’s animated film Corpse Bride when considering a love interest for Frankenstein. His original choreography is set to music from a selec-tion of composers including Shostakovich and Beethoven. Shostakovich’s Jazz Suite No. 2 sets the mood as the monster’s body is assem-bled.

When asked why North Van was chosen as one of Ballet Victoria’s select tour stops, pro-duction manager Jovita Nathania said the

community seems to have a high interest in the arts, especially dance.

“North Vancouver also has a nice theatre that fit all the requirements we would need to put on a good production,” added Nathania.

Frankenstein: A Zombie Love Story comes to the Centennial Theatre on Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. More information and tickets are available online at tickets.centennialtheatre.com or by calling 604-984-4484.

A decade of House Wine » TASTING NOTES

It’s certainly been a hectic few weeks around the local wine indus-try as of late, a common autumn occurrence.

A smattering of us have just wrapped up judging more than 750 wines for the next edition of the Vancouver Magazine Wine Awards (results out Dec. 1), another 100 or so wines to determine the Top 25 up at Cornucopia in Whistler (running Nov. 7-17), and then the usual lot of wine tastings, dinners and so on.

Besides swirling, sipping and spitting abundant wines and quench-ing our passions, one of the best parts of this time of year is getting to

spend a little more time with favou-rite colleagues (not to mention shar-ing some refreshing post-event pints and a little extra cheer).

The majority of the time, many of us are in frenetic yet solitary mode, whether toiling in a private client’s cellar, tapping away on the ol’ laptop (Hey, I’m doing that now!), or dash-ing around town trying to source product for restaurants. The “work”

events like said tastings and judging become our default community social time to catch up on what’s on our respective desks, share new favourite wine discoveries and, well, gossip a little bit too!

Two colleagues I always adore catching up with are Michelle Bouffard and Michaela Morris, more commonly known around town as the “House Wine Girls.” Michelle and Michaela are always embark-ing on many a wine-related adventure, from organizing and purchas-ing for the home cellars of clients to penning article and putting on a head-spinning array of public events and tastings.

Aside from all of this, they’re two of the best wine minds around town, both often found teaching budding sommeliers on behalf of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust or the International Sommelier Guild.

When we do catch up, the conversation is certainly prone to revolve around wine, but it’s always peppered with many a laugh and often a healthy lashing of passion-driven debate of varied vinous subjects.

There’s a little extra spring in their step these days as they’re enter-ing an auspicious time in their professional partnership and friend-ship; ten years in business together. I always have mad respect for anyone who’s self-employed who can get a few years under their belt, but ten years in Vancouver’s rapidly-changing social and cultural landscape certainly deserves and extra clink or two of Champagne.

So how are they celebrating this partnership? Well, the only way they know how; putting on a big event that celebrates our local wine culture. “House Wine Turns 10” is happening Thursday, Nov. 28 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Loungeworks (130 West 4th), and is a steal at $59.

On tap will be a bubble bar, a Latin American corner and a cheese and wine pairing station, plus they promise many more surprises to keep you entertained. There’s no doubt that the room will be full of a who’s-who of wine around these parts, so you can imagine the abun-dance of exciting new wine leads that’ll be on offer as well!

Michelle and Michaela have long been great pals who were also awesome support when I started up my own thing a mere three years ago. I’m quite looking forward to sharing yet another toast, and hope to share a couple with some readers as well.

window seat,” he says jokingly to one of his patients. Seconds later, the phone rings again.“Excuse me a sec,” he says, picking up the phone. “Paul Sugar.”“What pharmacy do you go to?” he asks.His voice is soothing and he answers the patient’s questions

thoughtfully, scribbling notes on the back of his patient list.Ironically, one of the greatest lessons he’s learned from his job is

to value time. But, the way that he goes above and beyond for his patients gives him very little time for himself.

“It takes a lot of time to do,” he admits. But he’s not complaining. Sugar explains that one of the biggest rewards is to see a patient

transition from a place of pain and desperation to one of comfort and calm.

“I think we all feel good when we can have a powerful, positive impact on someone who needs help. Seeing the genuine appreciation that patients and families feel for efforts, insight and guidance is very fulfilling.”

Of course there are tough days, many of them. One of the hardest parts of his job, he says, is “the loss of the candid,

intimate and honest relationships that develop so quickly with pallia-tive patients.”

This weekend, for instance, he has to write three death certificates. Still, his focus is on making his patients’ time more meaningful,

especially when they are facing a terminal illness. Through the foundation, he hopes to make an even bigger difference.As he notes, the volunteers at LGH play an equally valuable role in

supporting and comforting palliative patients and their families and he wants the foundation to also support their tremendous efforts.

The official launch of the Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation takes place Nov. 3 from 4-8 p.m. at The Two Lions Public House (500-2801 Westview Drive). Sugar has agreed to lop off his trademark ponytail to raise funds for the foundation but the doc may just end up keeping his locks. You can make a pledge for him to “cut or keep” the hair at paulsugarfoundation.com.

“I’m not sure how the pony tail thing will go. I’m hoping not to cut it off but I will [cut it for a good cause],” he says.

Today’s seniors taming technology» SENIORS

JOSIE PADROC O n T r I b u T O r

It’s a common stereotype: the aging per-son who struggles with modern technol-ogy. Stereotypes die hard, and in reality,

many seniors have not only adopted the lat-est tech devices but also enjoy using them.

Eighty-year-old Mary Atkins, a retired teacher, is one such senior. Over the years she’s owned a number of computers, and these days she takes her iPad almost every-where she goes. Atkins puts it to a whole range of uses, from recording the minutes

at meetings to organizing recipes and stor-ing audio books, to name just a few. Her iPad also allows her to stay in contact with friends and family. She does this mainly through email, but she’s also used Skype and maintains a Facebook page, which has enabled her to connect with some of her for-mer students.

Atkins’ computer competence started 25 years ago with the portable Commodore 64s owned by the school where she worked. She credits one of her students, a bright eight-

West Van Seniors’ Centre to celebrate veterans with luncheon

» SENIORS

Second World War and Korean War veterans are being invited to share their wartime stories and watch a slideshow presentation at a special luncheon this Saturday

MARIA SPITALE-LEISKS T A F F R E P O R T E R

The West Van Seniors’ Activity Centre will pay homage to veterans who

served in the Second World War and the Korean War with a special luncheon this Saturday, Nov. 2.

The annual tradition offers an opportunity for veterans and their friends and family to share wartime stories with fel-low veterans.

Event organizer John Lait said many veterans have been members of the West Van seniors’ centre over the years.

“We wanted to acknowledge them and bring them together in a space to share their sto-ries,” added Lait.

The event will include a movie and slideshow presenta-tion from National Veterans Affairs and a performance by the Silver Harbour Seniors’ Centre choir.

Expected to be in atten-dance is 83-year-old West Van resident Stan Ward, a Second World War veteran who orga-nized the inaugural veterans’ luncheon.

This year’s Veterans’ Reunion and Lunch, which runs from noon to 3 p.m., costs $15 and is open to service members and their guests. Lait is asking attendees to sign up in advance by calling 604-925-7280.

The West Vancouver Seniors Activity Centre is located at 695 21st St.

year-old, with helping her sort out the glitches that inevitably arose. Even then, Atkins says she could see the potential value of this of new technology, so she enrolled in an introductory computer course for teachers. Now, in addition to her iPad, she uses an iPhone and a home computer.

Atkins is only one example of a senior who has adopted today’s tech toys.

The 2012 Revera Report on Tech Savvy Seniors found that 70 per cent of seniors viewed their computers as tools that helped them live at home independently. They reported using their computers to maintain social contacts, keep up with current events and monitor their health care.

In the year 2000, according to Statistics Canada, five per cent of seniors over 75 were engaged in online activity; by 2012 that number had increased to 27 per cent. The Revera Report found that email had surpassed face-to-face meetings as the most common method of staying in contact with friends and family. More than 50 per cent of those who go online visit social networking sites such as Facebook, and one in five use other applications such as Skype and Face Time. Eighty per cent report they use the Internet at least once a day.

The positive power of online connected-ness is becoming increasingly evident. A study by the American non-profit Phoenix Center reported that seniors who spent time online reduced their symptoms of depres-sion by 34 per cent. And research out of the University of Arizona found that using the social network Facebook actually boosted cognitive function in men and women over 65.

Seniors wanting to become more computer savvy have a number of ways they can learn the basics or master more advanced pro-grams. On the North Shore, Silver Harbour Senior’s Centre computer lab offers a whole range of programs that run anywhere from

two to six weeks.For the last 16 years, retired chemical

physicist Dr. Kam Srikameswaran has been running the lab and teaching computer courses as a volunteer at Silver Harbour.

Over that time he’s noticed a change in the types of things seniors want to learn. “The population that we met in 1998 is not the same kind of population that retires now,” he says, noting that many seniors have been using computers for decades. To meet the varying abilities Dr. Srikameswaran and his volunteers offer their students learn everything from com-puter basics to advanced digital photogra-phy. “On average we are putting through about 1,100 student units per year,” he says.

Over his 16 years teaching computer courses, Dr. Srikameswaran has found that seniors are focused and motivated learners. He teaches new information using small, easy-to-master steps that avoid frustration. “I keep telling my students ‘Don’t tell me an old dog can’t learn new tricks.’ I’m very old and I’m still learning tricks,” he says.

Seniors can also get instruction at North Shore libraries, which offer a full range of free computer information sessions, but reg-istration is necessary as they are in high demand. Capilano University’s Continuing Education department also runs computer technology courses for students 55 and over, which range in price from about $50 to $150.

Mary Atkins advises seniors who want to become more comfortable with computers to be curious, take every opportunity to get instruction, and to find a few “go-to” experts who can help with the glitches. More than anything, she believes it’s fear that holds most seniors back. Her advice is to resist that fear, quoting something she was told years ago, “the only way you can break a computer is to put your foot through the screen.”

Don Cherry was right. The Toronto Maple Leafs had no choice but to keep tal-

ented defenceman Morgan Rielly on the roster — even though he’s only 19.

Two Saturdays ago, the colour-fully tailored and opinionated Hockey Night in Canada com-mentator gushed about the West Van teenager, saying: “You know everybody is asking me ‘Morgan Rielly, should they send him back (to junior)?’ Here’s the problem, this kid is dynamite, he’s the best defenceman they got…. They can’t send him back as far as I’m concerned.”

Dapper Don doesn’t have to worry. Last Thursday, the Leafs announced that Rielly would remain with the NHL club.

Rielly may still be returned to his Western Hockey League club in Moose Jaw this season but he cannot be sent down to the Leafs’ American Hockey League farm team because he’s still eligible to play junior hockey.

Rookie players who still have junior eli-gibility remaining can play up to nine NHL games without burning a season on their pro entry-level contract. Rielly played his ninth game last Friday against Columbus.

Rielly was the fifth overall selection of the Leafs in the 2012 NHL draft. Longtime family friend and minor hockey team-mate Griffin Reinhart was selected fourth overall in the same draft by the New York Islanders. Reinhart, also a d-man, was on the Islander’s 23-man roster to start the season but has since been returned to his junior team.

Rielly texted his father Andy on Thursday with the exciting news that he was sticking with the Leafs.

“My initial feeling was relief for him because I knew that he has been a little stressed throughout the training camp and the first nine games, not knowing where he would end up this year. It was a very high moment for both of us — I was elated because I know how hard he trains in the off-season,” said Andy.

Earlier this month Andy and his wife Shirley had prime seats inside the Air Canada Centre to watch their son’s first NHL game, which happened to be Toronto’s home-opener against Ottawa on Oct. 5.

“It was pretty emotional for me and Shirley. It was the first time in an NHL

game I’d seen him on the ice,” said Andy, who coached his son in minor hockey.

“It was like ‘Is this really happening?’”After a few unlucky breaks in the first

period, Rielly quickly got acclimatized to the NHL pace and finished the game with over 18 minutes of ice time, including some shifts in the overtime period.

“[Coach Randy Carlyle] just kept playing [Morgan and his defense partner] and as the game went on he got more comfortable,” says Andy.

After the game, the Riellys made their way to the Leafs’ family room where they met the family of star forward Phil Kessel and said hello to former Canuck Mayson Raymond and some other Leafs they’ve got-ten to know since Morgan was drafted.

Afterwards they went over to a nearby sports bar with their son to celebrate.

“As a parent, the experience [of seeing him play in the NHL] would be pretty close to the top,” says Andy. “It’s pretty special.”

A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. ZACK SPENCER

Rounding up and riding the RAM range2014 RAM Roundup

The full-size truck market is big busi-ness for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advance-ments. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Round-up” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships.

Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger

is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system auto-matically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration.

Inside In the past trucks were typi-cally used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large

7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant infor-mation readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago.

Drive The biggest change for 2014 includes the first diesel engine found in a light duty 1500 pickup truck. This is an Ital-ian designed engine that has been used extensively in Europe in Jeep products like the Grand Cherokee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same output as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but thanks to a standard 8-speed automat-ic transmission; this new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Look for the new EcoDiesel RAMs arriving in January of 2014. On the heavy duty side there is also an all-new engine in the form of a 6.4L Hemi V8. The old 5.7L was not a perfect match

for gasoline truck buyers but RAM hopes this 429 lb.-ft. engine will attract more buyers.

Verdict As competi-tive as the car business is, the truck side is nuclear. Truck buyers take their trucks very seriously and the people building them do too. It takes dynamite to get a loyal truck owner to change brands but RAM has done a good job of blasting the competition. Most of this success has been thanks to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update

their rigs. With a new diesel engine in the 1500 to an all-new gasoline engine in the heavy-duty trucks, matched to sophisticated transmissions, improved suspensions and cabins, it is no wonder that RAM is on an upward swing.

The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6, 3.0L V6 turbo diesel, 5.7L V8. 6.4L V8 and 6.7L dieselPrice range: $19,995-$36,495 base prices. The diesel option adds around $4,500

Driving 30 vehicles in three days does leave one exhausted and a numb bum! But that’s what 80 auto journalists, including yours truly, endured last week at the annual Canadian Car of the Year event, which is often referred to as TestFest.I’ve attended every one of the gatherings staged by the Automobile Journalists Asso-ciation of Canada (AJAC) for the past 26 years and witnessed many changes the auto industry, dramatic changes in the cars we drive there.To start with, Niagara Falls was the new location for TestFest and it was hosted by the Niagara Parks Commission. The beautifully landscaped and serene Legends on the Niagara Golf Course was the staging location. The age demographic of those AJAC members attending was also noticeably lower and the enthusiasm level was noticeably higher – great to see. All undertook back-to-back vehicle assessments, on specially prepared evaluation courses and on public roads. Awaiting their critical approval were 174 vehicles (representing 57 all-new 2014 model year vehicles), and they were arranged into 12 voting categories. The range of vehicles in-cluded everything from a highly fuel-efficient Mitsubishi Mirage with its little 3-cylinder/74 horsepower engine to a big and blindingly fast Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG with a bi-turbo V8 that can generate 577 horsepower. A flood of full-electric vehicles entered last year – none this year. That said, there was the Ford CMAX plug-in hybrid and there were some very interesting new full-hybrids like the brilliantly engineered Honda Accord Hybrid, VW Jetta Hybrid, Infiniti Q50, Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid. The performance level of this new breed of hybrid vehicles is much closer to, or can even exceed, gas engine counterparts. While I don‘t know which vehicle will win each category, the following vehicles were the top performers in acceleration and braking exercises performed at TestFest or claimed best fuel economy:n Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic (4.1 seconds)n Acceleration 80 to 120 km/hour: Corvette Stingray (3.2 seconds)

year four of operation in 2020.At the same time, gallery revenues are

expected to almost double by 2016 from its 2012 level of $900,177.

“We are not projecting a deficit,” Shier assured council.

The PHG’s fundraising arm, the B.C. Photographic and Medial Arts Society, is anticipating raising $780,000 — almost double the cur-rent amount — in the new gallery’s first year from fundraising, sponsor-ships and memberships.

PHG currently operates out of an antiquated building at East Third Street and Chesterfield Avenue. The gallery’s curators have spent three decades showcasing some of the world’s most notable art-ists and photographers including Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol and Fred Herzog.

Its innovative programming has received mentions in esteemed publications such as the New York Times and Time magazine

“So we are very much on the radar of the international cultural community,” said Shier.

After Shier’s presentation, council was given an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed plans.

Coun. Pam Bookham was concerned about the size of the new building, given the origi-nal plan called for the PHG to be housed in the 17,000-square-foot Cates Shed.

“We engaged the public in quite an exten-sive public consultation with respect to the foot of Lonsdale site,” said Bookham. “Presentation House Gallery’s plans clearly completely disregard any of that input.”

Shier said the building’s footprint increased after the decision to tear down Cates Shed was made. He added, the CNV, which will own the building, had requested

that retail space be added.Coun. Guy Heywood, liaison for the North

Vancouver Community Arts Council, called the new PHG “a very important cultural amenity at the waterfront.”

“This is probably going to take a view iterations to get all the way across the fin-ish line,” added Heywood.

Mayor Darrell Mussatto capped off the discussion by pledging an equal financial commitment to the North Vancouver Museum and Archives, which is planning on moving into the “Pipe Shop” building at Shipbuilders’ Square.

“The museum does need to have some type of financial com-mitment in order for them to go forward,” said Mussatto. “There has to be something done with the museum. We need a commu-nity museum and we need some-thing that is going to have our

history.”CNV council, at a July 15 meeting, gave

conditional approval for use of the Pipe Shop. The city will also put up half of the $10 million pricetag for the new museum, in a deal that hinges on the proponents pro-viding a solid fundraising feasibility study by next April.

Meanwhile, for the PHG project, the city has committed to contributing the land, staff time and $2.5 million in funding.

The PHG will host a joint open house with the city to discuss development plans for the foot of Lonsdale on Nov. 5 at Presentation House Cultural Centre (Third Street and Chesterfield Avenue).

A formalized PHG design plan will be brought before council in December or early 2014 for referral to public hearing for the broader foot of Lonsdale rezoning process.

Collingwood grad opens styling offices in Vancouver, Toronto, New York and Milan

Stylist Michael Black with top Canadian fashion influencer Joe Mimran. Submitted photo

From small-town living on Bowen Island to the run-ways of Vancouver, Toronto, New York and Milan, Michael Black’s incessant love of fashion has been a

whirlwind adventure. With his sight set on high places, the Collingwood

School grad launched Michael Black Fashion Styling two years ago after graduating with an eclectic mix of busi-ness, neuroscience and psychology courses from UBC.

“I do a lot of travelling for work but Toronto is what I call my home base,” says the 28-year-old, taking a much needed day off after wrapping up Toronto Fashion Week to plan his Halloween costume — Prom King Ken, complete with custom “life-sized doll clothing” including a silver tuxedo, sash and crown.

Not wanting to give up his Canadian roots, the former West Vancouver resident, who moved to the municipality when he was a young teen, chose Eastern Canada because of its central location.

“I can fly to New York in an hour and half and most places in Europe in six to eight hours, it’s pretty conve-nient. If I was based on the West Coast it would take a lot longer to get to the big cities for fashion.”

Black’s professional work began at age 16 when he was recruited by Diesel to work as a youth fashion designer on its denim collection. Then, while toiling away at univer-sity, he was hired as a personal shopper and later started freelance styling in Montreal while studying at McGill University.

After nine years in post secondary education, he gradu-ated and started working full time.

“Now Michael Black Styling has become what it is today. It’s grown very quickly,” says Black, who has styled the likes of Kate Hudson, Donald Trump’s Miss Universe and Hillary Weston, the owner of Holt Renfrew. He now

has offices in Vancouver, Toronto (his home base), New York and Milan.

Long days are typical for Black: He wakes up at 6 a.m. to respond to emails and social media requests, eats breakfast with tea then exercises at the gym or goes to a yoga class. His workday typically begins with photo shoots at designers’ showrooms, which can last up to 15 hours a day.

“All their most current clothes are on display. I will go in and grab the clothes I want to use and sometimes go into the designer’s archives… and reuse some for photo shoots.

“Sometimes I do all of the hiring for everything. In that case, I would be the producer for the fashion shoot, as well as the fashion director and creative director.”

In the evenings, he is off to dinner and meetings or working on behind-the-scenes tasks.

“I have started to become more of a personality in Toronto… I started working on my brand outside of just styling, editorials and runways,” says Black, who now has designers pay him to wear their clothes. This sparked con-sulting and contract work for Pink Tartan, Caitlin Power, Aveda and other companies he can’t name due to confi-dentiality contracts.

Playing an active part in Montreal, Toronto, Paris, Milan and London’s fashion weeks, Back keeps a constant eye on the latest trends. He says fur — both real and faux — is making a “massive comeback” with different textures and colours popping up in everything from mink to fox. Punches of bright colours, especially orange, he adds, will be hot this spring and summer, along with plentiful pat-terns and structured “boxy” clothing.

NORTH VANCOUVERDISTRICT


Hundreds of Sherwood Park elemen-tary students cheered as the cast of Family Channel’s The Next Step

made a surprise appearance at a Monday morning assembly.

The North Van school was one of three cho-sen from across Canada after sixth grader Jolene Verdicchio’s entry on the effects of bul-lying won a nation-wide contest, which had nearly 2,000 entries.

“[Jolene] wrote about her experience of bul-lying because she had been bullied in the past. But she moved to this school and has had a much better experience,” said Trevor Tordjman, who plays James, an energetic dancer on The Next Step.

“She wrote about how she’s been talking about the effects of bullying at school and that the school is very aware of it.

“It was a touching story and Family Channel really liked it.”

This year’s rally, which marks Family Channel’s 11th annual Bullying Awareness Week, was given the slogan “Stand Up and Shout!” to encourage kids to intervene when they witness bullying.

Led by Tordjman and Brittany Raymond,

a.k.a. Riley from The Next Step, Sherwood Park students eagerly learned the moves to the “Stand Up and Shout” dance, which will be used in a Family Channel music video that debuts in early November on family.ca/standup.

“I was a little worried about teaching them dance,” admitted Tordjman, who began danc-ing at the age of four in his mother’s dance studio. “But it actually went really good, they picked it up smoothly… They were totally into it.”

Representatives from PrevNet, an umbrella organization representing 73 research sci-entists and dozens of youth-service organi-zations that deal with bullying prevention, told the students it’s often easier to ask a friend for help when standing up to bullying. Walking away to tell an adult is part of the solution, they emphasized, while staying to watch only increases the problem.

“Stay confident in whatever it is that you love to do. In my case, I’ve always been a dancer and I stayed confident in that,” advis-es Tordjman. “Also, tell someone you trust [about bullying] and never be afraid to do that because there’s always someone who can help.”

During Bullying Awareness Week, start-ing Nov. 18, Family Channel is airing spe-cial bullying-themed episodes from popular series such as Good Luck Charlie, Wizards of Waverly Place and Wingin It.

The GVRD later presented a new map to the public and media that reflected Koop’s photo-graphs.

At The Outlook’s request, Metro Vancouver researched their files dating back 20 years to shed some light on the event.

Bohn said the slide occurred in an area, adja-cent to the reservoir, that was logged early on in the last century or when the dam was con-structed in the 1950s. When asked about the map mix-up, Bohn said an inadvertent error was made while transposing information from one map to the next.

“The error was quickly corrected and every-one was advised,” added Bohn. “The map error in no way had any impact on our efforts to pro-tect drinking water supplies after the landslide occurred.”

At the time of the Capilano landslide, the water district had already started scaling back commercial logging, and a $6-million ecological inventory of the watersheds was underway.

A variety of experts were retained from vari-ous consulting firms, ranging from wildfire spe-cialists to geotechnical experts to forest ecolo-gists. They examined the watersheds by satel-lite, helicopter, vehicle and on foot.

Thousands of unstable creek and gully drain-ages were documented and mapped as part of that study.

“These studies confirmed that landslides in the watersheds are part of the natural dynamic of this steep and wet mountain terrain,” said Bohn.

Koop wasn’t convinced by the consultants’ findings. He expressed his views in a 1995 report this way:

“To simply state that massive amounts of rain arriving at one time disturbs the exposed res-ervoir banks and stream beds … is to deny the existence and dominating problems associated with roads and clear-cuts in the watersheds.”

The last logging in the watersheds took place in 1995. Four years later the GVRD board of directors passed a five-point resolution that fundamentally changed the way the watersheds were managed. Included in the new plan was a logging road deactivation program.

And after a seven-year logging moratorium it was made official in 2002 with the cancellation of the water district’s logging agreement with the Ministry of Forests and Lands.

Current City of North Vancouver Coun. Don Bell, a longtime politician, sat on the GVRD board during the height of the logging debate and was involved in many of the decisions.

“I remember the [logging] issue very well,” Bell told The Outlook last week. “When it was first raised, my recollection is that there was no immediate sense of urgency to stop it.”

Bell said the clear-cut areas weren’t visible from Vancouver. But, when he was given an aer-ial tour of the watersheds, the environmental implications were undeniable.

“It was shocking when you saw the patches that were clear-cut out,” recalled Bell. “I think we thought the clearing was going to be more selective. When photographs were presented, the board accepted the fact that it needed to stop.”

--- Scott Stuart’s Metro Vancouver work truck

bounces along the dirt road traversing the west side of the Capilano watershed.

Today The Outlook has been afforded a rare opportunity to be immersed in the tranquility of the gated-off forest. A Columbia black-tailed deer with its forked antlers curiously stares at the truck as it passes the edge of the forest.

We carry on up the mountain valley until we reach the Hesketh Creek area and the base of a steep spur road that was deactivated in 2007.

Stuart, a watershed management engineering technologist, has written deactivation prescrip-tions for roughly half of the 350 kilometres of road in the three watersheds — a $1.3-million, 12-year project that is nearing the end of com-pletion. There is one road left to decommission next year in the Coquitlam watershed.

Sporting a wintergreen-coloured fleece and gumboots, Stuart, on foot, heads up the old Hesketh road, now recontoured and disguised by boulders, a bed of vegetation and other organic debris.

“Given the opportunity these plants will come in and recolonize pretty quickly,” says Stuart of the resilience of nature.

He explains in great technical detail the road deactivation process.

“You come out here, and probably the first thing we do would be to walk the road,” says Stuart, pointing up the hill. “You are looking for tension cracks — lines along the road way where the fell slope has oversteepened or over-loaded.”

Any watershed roads over a 75 per cent grade are cause for concern. Using excavators, a work crew rips up the road, then places excess fill slope material against the cut slope before the road is recontoured.

“We tried to prioritize the worst candidates first, and deactivation is something you do from the top of the road down,” explains Stuart.

One of last parts of the deactivation process is pulling up pipes and restoring the hydrology in the area. By throwing a rock into the cross ditch, it takes the energy out of the stream.

Reflecting on the work that’s been done, Stuart concludes deactivating the non-essential roads in the watershed is about mitigating the risk of landslide and potential impact to water quality. “We learned it’s in our best interest to try to be proactive and deal with these risk asso-ciated with some of these roads,” says Stuart. “Ultimately, it’s the watershed and it supplies water to half the population of the province of B.C.”

---Last year Hundal and Koop met by chance

in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, a 5,668-hectare area of alpine meadows and for-ested slopes once under siege by logging inter-ests.

They smiled knowingly, remembering their efforts over the years to preserve this area now enjoyed by hikers, swimmers, rollerbladers and mountain bikers.

“It’s a tremendous recreation feature that people will be able to enjoy for generations,” says Hundal.
