Councilnixes citymid-blockproposals
Council sinks W. Van seafood standBethany Lindsayblindsay@nsnews.com
A proposed beachfront seafood stand in AmblesidePark was blocked Monday night when a deadlockedDistrict of West Vancouver council voted down thenecessary zoning amendment.
The vote followed a public hearing during which speakerslashed out against blocking trailer access to the boat ramp besideHollyburn Sailing Club, a decision that was approved more than amonth ago.
With Coun. Michael Smith absent from the meeting, MayorPam Goldsmith-Jones joined the opposition against the rezoningof 1366 Argyle Ave., tying the vote at 3-3 to defeat the motion.
Goldsmith-Jones said shedecided tovote against the amendmentbecause of the strong connection many members of the public have
made between the seafood stand and the closure of the boat ramp.“It’s the message I’m worried about, not the activity itself,”
she said, adding that she was surprised by how many peopleopposed allowing a venue to sip wine and have a snack along thewaterfront.
“I am disappointed that people have such little faith.”About 50 people attended the public hearing, and 21 spoke
to council — some twice — unanimously in opposition to therezoning plan.
Although the topic wasn’t on the agenda for Monday’s debateor public hearing, the bulk of speakers attended the meeting toprotest the decommissioning of the boat ramp when a new artificial
turf field is constructed in Ambleside Park. Car-toppers, kayaks andcanoes would still have access to the ramp.
Tony Ando, a resident of the British Properties, said that itwould be “idiotic” to block access to the ramp while supportinga new café. “You don’t need a waterfront to have a restaurant, butyou need a waterfront to have a boat launch,” he said.
Ambleside resident John Martell said he takes his family downto the ramp several times each week for boating trips — a traditionthat would end with closure of the ramp.
“We wouldn’t drive 30 minutes to Deep Cove or crowdedHorseshoe Bay.”
Those who addressed the seafood stall plan directly saidthey resented the “commercialization” of the waterfront, andcompetition with existing Ambleside businesses.
At least two speakers compared the proposal to kitschy Coney

TWO proposals todensify lots in the Cityof North Vancouver’smid-block area havebeen stopped in theirtracks.
At Monday night’s meeting,city councillors voted 4-3 toreject both applications at firstreading without proceedingto a public hearing. Such anearly defeat is rare; first readingvotes are usually a formalityand councillors often vote forholding a hearing even for aproject they ultimately oppose.
First reading for bothapplications was on council’sconsent agenda, a list of routineitems that are approved enmasse without debate. Coun.Rod Clark requested they beremoved from the consentagenda and voted on separately.

NV lawyer files suit over airline ‘taxes’Jane Seydjseyd@nsnews.com
A North Vancouver lawyer has launched a classaction lawsuit against an international airline over itspractice of charging hidden extra fees and describingthem as “taxes.”
Jim Poyner of North Vancouver’s Poyner Baxter filed the suit inB.C. Supreme Court against British Airways and is in the process offiling additional suits against Air Canada and Lufthansa.
But Poyner said the legal issue extends to most airlines that flyto overseas destinations from Canadian cities. He said he expects tofile suits against 10 more airlines very soon.
With only one or two exceptions, the airlines charge theircustomers fees described on the ticket as “taxes”— which cansometimes amount to several hundred dollars. Poyner said mostof the “taxes” aren’t taxes being charged by governments at all— but simply fuel surcharges or other fees added and pocketed bythe airline. Poyner said that’s deceiving the public by hiding thetrue cost of the fare, and breaking the law under B.C.’s ConsumerProtection Act.
He said KLM and Northwest are among the few airlines thatdon’t charge the hidden fees.
According to the legal suit filed by Poyner, one woman who flewfrom Vancouver to Turkey paid British Airways almost $970 for herticket fare, plus $450 in “taxes.” But the portion of the “tax” thatwas simply an additional airline charge was $326, said Poyner.
The fees aren’t charged to customers who fly internationallywith the airlines out of the U.S., he said, because the Americangovernment “would not allow them to cover up their fees thisway.”
In Canada, “there are too many people who are prepared to justput up with it.”
Ken Baxter, Poyner’s law partner, added it’s often difficult fortravellers to unravel what they’re being charged for, as airport feesfor both Vancouver International Airport and destination airports inforeign countries are usually lumped in with “taxes and charges.”
“No one knows what they are,” he said of the legitimate airport
fees. “It really buries it from the consumer’s point of view.”Poyner said if the lawsuit gets certified as a class action suit and
he is successful, it could mean the airlines would be forced to payback their customers a significant chunk of money.
“For people who do some travelling, it’s several hundred dollarsthey could stand to collect,” he said.
Poyner said as far as he knows, the practice of charging extra feesand describing them as “taxes” is limited to tickets bought throughtravel agents — about 60 per cent of the total.
People who buy their tickets online directly through the airlinesdon’t seem to be hit with the same hidden fees, he said.
Poyner said his firm was first tipped off to the practice by a travelagent — now working as a consultant to the law company — whodidn’t feel the practice was fair.
He added there has already been one other court case in Australiathat involved the practice of charging the hidden fees. “The court(in Australia) describes that . . . as being a deceiving and deceptivepractice,” he said. “We feel that will be very instructive.”
Poyner said he doesn’t know how long the practice of describingextra fees as “taxes” has been going on. The lawsuit goes back thelast six years.
British Airways did not respond to a request for comments.

A transit police officer checks the situation out in the wake of an accident between an RCMP cruiser and a bus at the intersection of 15thStreet and Mahon Avenue in North Vancouver Tuesday morning.
End of the line
Benjamin Alldrittballdritt@nsnews.com
THE officer in charge of NorthVancouver’s RCMP detachment isdefending the usefulness of Canada’sFirearms Registry in response to effortsfrom a Conservative MP to abolish it.
In her capacity as vice-president of the B.C.Association of Chiefs of Police, Supt. Tonia Engersaid the registry is used by the province’s policeofficers thousands of times each day.
“It’s used in criminal investigations to determinethe origin of firearms,” she said. “It gives us a heads-up; we can determine if a residence that we might begoing into may or may not have a licensed firearm and
also the number and type of firearms. We have a lot ofdomestic violence situations and a lot of disturbancecalls when we don’t know why we’re getting called. Ifwe have the names and addresses we can see if there’sany firearms.”
Enger said the registry is also used to help returnstolen firearms to their lawful owners.
Candice Hoeppner, who represents the southernManitoba riding of Portage-Lisgar, filed a privatemember’s bill that, if passed into law, would removethe requirement for gun owners to register theirweapons, effectively abolishing the registry. The billhas enjoyed the support of rural MPs from severaldifferent parties.
“For me, when I’m driving around listeningto the radio,” Enger said, “I’m very alerted whendispatch tells a member ‘Just so you know, so-and-sois residing there and is believed to be in possession offour handguns and three rifles.’ I know on the NorthShore it’s active all the time.”
The Firearms Registry was first set up in 1995,
and the Liberal government of the day believed theprogram would cost taxpayers about $2 million. Butin a scathing 2002 report, Auditor General SheilaFraser said the registry’s bill would be closer to $1billion. Abolishing the registry has been a populartopic for Canada’s centre-right parties ever since.
“The estimated cost to operate the programcurrently is between $3.5 million and $4 million peryear,” Enger said. “You may be able to say there weresubstantial costs to start it up, but we are now in amaintenance mode and it costs substantially less thanit did initially.”
Enger also turned aside criticism that the registryis an expensive hassle for law-abiding gun ownerswithout helping to catch armed criminals.
“It helps,” she said. “It’s one component and ifyou take it away, we lose something. B.C. chiefs ofpolice are coming out to say they support the registryand there’s no question that it’s strongly supportedby the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police aswell.”
The first application, for 302East 12th St., proposed a 2,180-square-foot duplex on the samelot as an existing 1,490-square-foot house. The owner of thehouse already has a buildingpermit to create a secondarysuite in the existing basement.
The second proposal,submitted by a differentdeveloper, was for 362 East12th St. In this case, the planwas to demolish an existinghouse, subdivide the lot andbuild a house on each of the tworesulting parcels of land. Eachof the three-bedroom houseswould also have a two-bedroomsecondary suite and a garage.
Bothplans required rezoningand would have generated themaximum density allowableunder the OCP.
“We had a very extensivediscussion about the kind ofdevelopment that was goingto take place in the mid-block area,” said Coun. PamBookham. “Assurances weregiven to this community thatthey could expect duplexes.Duplexes. What we are seeingnow is a movement afoot to tryand subdivide lots in order tohave four dwellings where nowthere is one. This is certainly notwhat was promised to them.”
The mid-block area, a bandof east 300-blocks runningnorth from Keith Road, was thesubject of a contentious debatein 2006, when council voted tochange the official communityplan and allow duplexes tobe built in the single-familyhome neighbourhood. Thedecision followed a two-hourpublic meeting and dozens ofpresentations by residents, whowere divided on the issue.
Someofthespeakersreturnedin July of 2009 to protest a planto replace one large house withthree small ones. That proposalwas approved by a split voteover the angry objections ofClark, Bookham and Coun.Bob Fearnley. On Monday,however, Coun. Guy Heywoodjoined the trio to vote downboth applications.

Island in New York City,although rollercoasters andcircus sideshows were not up fordiscussion in West Vancouver.
Others dismissed the kioskas a greasy “fish and chipsstand,” despite a report tocouncil stating it, “would serveamong other things, grilledfish, fish tacos, fish and chips,sandwiches, soups and salads.”
Gregg Henderson ofHollyburn wondered how theplan fits in with the moderndrive for healthy living.
“I think that this fish andchips stand is pretty lame,”Henderson said. “Boats inthe water: healthy. Deep-friedfoods: not so much.”
Council also received a letterfrom CN Rail in opposition to
the plan, arguing that the kioskwould “generate increasedpedestrian traffic within closevicinity to railway operations.”
In her note, assetmanagement co-ordinator TessaArchimowitz wrote that CNwould ask for fencing aroundthe site.
Despite the opposition tothe zoning amendment, fewmembers of the public actuallystayed to see council vote onthe motion. And resistance tothe plan left some members ofcouncil unimpressed.
“The arguments just didn’thold water for me tonight,”Coun. Michael Lewis said. “Idon’t think this has provided uswith any new information wehadn’t heard before.”
He described the seafoodstand as, “a reflection of the
evolution of Ambleside,” andobjected to characterizations ofthe project as a greasy fast foodjoint.
Rather than serving upfatty fish and chips, Lewis said,the stand was meant to be a“high-end healthy seafoodexperience.”
Coun. Shannon Walkersaid she saw the oppositionas yet another roadblock in a35-year struggle to overhaulthe waterfront. The processbegan in 1975 with councilapproving a policy that wouldsee a continuous walk built fromDundarave to the ClevelandDam.
“There’s been study afterstudy after study,” she said.“Every time we try to take onesmall step forward, we end uptaking two big steps back.”
While Goldsmith-Jones saidshe agreed that the seafoodstand represents just a smallchange on the waterfront, shesaid she was worried that publicperception of the project coulddamage decades of planning.
“I really feel that it’s a smallstep, but what if it’s a misstep?That undoes all of the workwe’ve done so far.”
Goldsmith-Jones votedwith Couns. Bill Soprovich andMichael Evison in opposition tothe zoning amendment, whileLewis, Walker, and Coun. TrishPanz voted in favour.
SOME quick thinking by a liquor store employeehas led to the arrest of a man police believe isresponsible for three armed robberies in NorthVancouver.
The man is accused of having held up Queens Cross liquorstore on Jan. 5, Henry’s Grocery on Jan. 15, and Queens Crossliquor store again on May 3.
All three robberies are alleged to have involved a knife.The man was arrested May 12 after an employee of the Queens
Cross liquor store saw him approaching the store’s front door.Believing him to be the man who had previously robbed thestore, the employee locked the front door and called the RCMP.
Officers found a man matching the description a short distanceaway and arrested him without incident.
Cpl. Marlene Morton, spokeswoman for the North VancouverRCMP, said investigators believed the three crimes were linkedbecause the robber wore distinctive clothing.
Jason Randolph, 37, was charged with three counts of robberyin North Vancouver provincial court on Monday.

Hope floatsITwassurprisingtosomeonMonday
night to see Mayor Pam Goldsmith-Jones join with Couns. Michael
Evison and Bill Soprovich to defeat therezoning that would have cleared theway for a beachfront seafood stand onArgyle Avenue in West Vancouver.
After all, this was a proposal that hadbeen moved to public hearing with theunanimous consent of council.
But public hearings in matters ofzoning allow those who believe theirinterests are affected to have their say.And the opposition to the seafood standwas enough to sway the minds of threemembers of council.
Well and good — to a point.It was quite apparent that many in
the public gallery Monday believedthe seafood concession was tied to theclosure of the Argyle Avenue public
boat ramp.It isn’t.The concession required rezoning
of land to accommodate its proposeduse. Closing the boat ramp — oreliminating its use by trailers — is adecision of council; one that was made inconjunction with three other Amblesideplanning initiatives on April 12.
Monday night, Goldsmith-Jonesworried publicly that a small misstepcould undo decades of planning.
We suggest the eliminationof theonlypublic boat launch between DollartonandHorseshoeBay isnot a smallmisstep— it’s a big one. And we can onlyhope that the same council memberswho blocked the concession proposalwill reconsider that decision or directstaff to plan a replacement, perhaps inconjunction with the Squamish Nation.

VIEWPOINT
Dear Editor:I write regarding the May 14 Trevor
Lautens column Paving Our WaterfrontWith Bad Intentions about the SpiritTrail.
I do wish the late, great cartoonistLen Norris were still sketching at theVancouver Sun and could turn his talentsto a portrait of my former colleagueand trustworthy curmudgeon TrevorLautens.
I picture a Norris rendition of Rodney— I mean Trevor — rolled up umbrella inhand, up against the bulldozers creatingthe Spirit Trail, a scheme (or should we
say conspiracy) to open up trails andvistas along the entire North Shore,assisting pedestrians, cyclists, bladers, andeven (egad!) skateboarders, and remindpeople that the shoreline of Burrard Inletand the Salish Sea helps make where welive one of the blessed areas of this earth.
I realize that with some justificationthe honourable elderly residents ofAmblesnide and Tiddlycove — I meanWest Vancouver — view developmentwith suspicion, especially after that upstartpremier W.A.C. (“Wacky”) Bennettploughed his wretched P.G.E. throughthe neighbourhood a mere 57 years ago.
I too can view developments with alarmand miss the sandlot games and backyardrinks of old. (Ice rinks? Did it used to bethat cold? I forget.)
But the Spirit Trail, while perhapsslightly less bucolic, does seem to possessthe potential to contribute to the publicweal. I look forward to cycling along it,and promise to pedal at a snail’s paceif and when I come upon Mr. Lautensmoseying along, hopefully not stillfuming at “the interests” who haveconspired to open up the waterfront.Neale AdamsVancouver
Dear Editor:The Spirit Trail idealists need a reality check:Only the easy pieces have been picked so far, including: a
few hundred feet from/to nowhere along the Mosquito CreekMarina; a couple of kilometres from/to nowhere along WestFirst Street/Welch Street and through the neighbourhoodWelch Park Strip, and a couple of kilometres from/to nowherebehind Park Royal Shopping Centre and the Ambleside sportsfields.
And that’s it, other than a lot of talk and planning goingnowhere, ever.
The substantial money spent courtesy of the provincialgovernment under a “climate action” disguise together with themunicipalities’ share is nothing but a make-work-project for useprimarily by commuter cyclists to get to the Lions Gate Bridgeand only secondarily for pedestrians and family outings.
And what does “climate action” have to do with paving ablack-top lane in a neighbourhood park? Black-top is improvingthe climate? Get real.
And don’t believe that cyclists and pedestrians can co-existon the same trail lane, or seawalls/walks. No. Never. Just checkStanley Park, West Vancouver, New Westminster. That is whypedestrians will use the Ambleside Seawalk while a separate laneis built besides the rail tracks for cyclists. The same separationneeds to be provided for Welch: pedestrians and families use theexisting paths in Welch Park Strip and the cyclists, boarders andbladers use Welch Street and/or West First Street.
I’ll be pleasantly surprised, if all the other difficult, majorpieces for this trail from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove will befound and become a reality. Allow cyclists on the West VanSeawalk anyone?K’nud HilleNorth Vancouver
Trail has a long way to go
Dear Editor:After hearing about the proposed trial
period for allowing on-leash, licenseddogs to walk on the Seawalk in WestVancouver and seeing the objections bya couple of your readers, I wish to rebuttheir statements.
Firstly, I am a dog owner. My dogsare licensed and always on leash exceptfor the odd occasion in the off-leash areaof Ambleside. We train our dogs to stayclose to us and not to stray. However,
the enclosed dog area of the Seawalkgoes against all training. Our dogs areno longer under our control and are indanger of being hit by a train, “skunked”by the many black and white denizens ofthis area, or being frightened by largermore aggressive dogs.
A quick online study shows no otherCanadianmunicipalitywithsuchdraconianbylaws regarding dogs. Our dogs may notvote, but there are many dog owners inWest Vancouver who do vote.
Many seniors (myself included) aredog owners and need a safe, secure placeto walk their dogs. Ambleside off-leasharea does not provide this as it is nativeland and therefore not under the controlof the bylaw officers.
As in all other areas of MetroVancouver, licensed, on-leash dogs shouldhave the right to share any public sidewalkof the municipality.Moira O’BrianWest Vancouver

TRIGGERED as theyare by events aroundme, most of the stories Iwrite begin somewherebeyond the beginning.But if readers havefound them intriguing,I thought a few updatesmight be likewise, asthe “middles” strive forresolution.
I first wrote about the plightof would-be Canadian citizenMikhail Lennikov on Feb. 24(Canada Gives New ArrivalFrosty Welcome).
At that time, Lennikov hadbeen confined in sanctuary atVancouver’s First LutheranChurch for nine months. Hewas there to avoid deportationto Russia, the country of hisbirth.
After 12 years of exemplarybehaviour while a student at theUniversity of British Columbia,how had he ended up in thispredicament?
Answer: He is undervirtual house arrest dueto contradictions betweenapplication of the rules thatallowed him to enter Canadaand remain here as a student,and the almost identical rulesthat govern his application tobecome a Canadian citizen.
In 1997, Lennikov met thefollowing basic requirements:
“You must not pose a threatto the health, safety or securityof Canada. Any record ofcriminal activity could preventyou from being allowed tocome to Canada. You mustnot provide false informationor fraudulent documentation,or withhold informationthat could be related to yourapplication.”
Lennikov was granted hisstudent visa.
The rules also said, “Youand your spouse . . . areallowed to work while youstudy and after graduation
through a number ofwork permit programs forinternational students. Workingin Canada can provide a sourceof income while you study, giveyou valuable work experience,help you make businesscontacts for the future, andeven allow you to immigrateafter your graduation.” Andfurther:
“The Post-GraduationWork Permit Program allows
you to gain valuable Canadianwork experience after you havecompleted your studies . . . thiscan help you apply to become apermanent resident. . . .”
Encouraged by that andby information from hisimmigration lawyer, Lennikovand his wife and son decided toapply for citizenship.
It soon became apparentthat staff in a different divisionhad no clue that “militaryservice for the Committee forState Security of the USSR,” asstated on his applications for astudent visa and for citizenship,meant that Lennikov hadworked for the KGB — albeitas a 22-year-old under duress.
Suddenly, after 12 years ofgood behaviour — and despiteall evidence to the contraryon 5,000 documents gainedunder Freedom of Informationregulations — Lennikov hadbecome a threat to nationalsecurity and must leave his wife
and son, to be deported toRussia.
And that is when he soughtthe sanctuary of his church;and why he remains there tothis day.
My letter to the PrimeMinister — copied to hisministers and others and whichenclosed a copy of my column— has gone unansweredby anyone in the governingcaucus. The single responsecame from NDP Leader JackLayton, who agreed that theimpeccable history of Lennikovand his family in this countrywarranted their release tobecome productive Canadiancitizens.
For my part, I am beginningto think that the Lennikovswould have been wiser to havechosen a different route. Hadthey paid $45,000 each forthe captain of a rust-bucketfreighter to dump them intoB.C. coastal waters, they’d be
walking free among us today— supported by Canadiantaxpayers.
But now for two muchhappier stories.
The February tale of Russand Cathy Marooney, the trike-conversion-loving, wanderingOkies, was updated out of theblue by some e-mails I receivedfrom them a few days ago.
Their return trip fromIreland was grounded atLondon’s Heathrow airportdue to another ash storm fromthe un-spellable Icelandicvolcano. But Russ was notabout to let a mere volcanostop them in their tracks, so inhis own words:

HAIR stylist Katie Webster displays some of the locks she and other Hennessey Salonand Spa employees are collecting to aid cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.
Manisha Krishnanmkrishnan@nsnews.com
WHILE roughly 5,000barrels of oil continueto leak into the Gulf ofMexico on a daily basis,local salons are hopingto help soak up themess — by collectinghuman hair.
For the past week, bothPark Royal locations ofHennessey Salon and Spahave been saving their hairscraps and are planning onturning them over to a non-profit organization at theend of the month. Matter ofTrust, a San Francisco-basedenvironmental charity, willthen stuff the hair into nylonstockings to use as booms forcollecting oil.
“So either they lay themon the water where there’san oil slick, or they’ll usethem to help mop up oilthat’s on the beach, it helpsget it off rocks,” says HayleyHewitt, Hennessey Salon andSpa director for Park RoyalNorth.

“Well, the cloud has settled in and shut down most of themilitary flights. Saw a bunch of weary Marines and army boysheading home after long tours in the Afghan. Nothing looks like itwill move out of here for the next two to five days,” he wrote.
“Others are going to wait it out and grumble, but we havedecided to take advantage of the situation and enjoy it. Instead ofsitting on our hands, we are going to catch the Eurostar headed forRota, Spain. And seeing as we’re in the neighborhood, we plan tostop in Paris for a few days and then maybe a stop or two in Spainalong the route.”
May 10-12: “Up early; took the shuttle into London and theunderground across to the terminal. That took four and a half
hours; the Eurostar to Paris took two and a half! We got brave andfigured out the French subway across town to our hotel; even hadtime and energy to walk down to the Arc de Triomphe. Ate nearthe Champs Elysees; good food but over-priced — had to eat therethough. Took Cathy to a couple of famous shops — one for leathergoods. Saw a man’s wallet like my Walmart special for 355 Euros,about $500 — not our kind of store.”
And May 13: “Returned a little bit ago. Too much to see inParis in the short time we have. One more day here and then weleave on a train to Spain. . . .
“In answer to your question, Liz, our boat was caught in theMay 10 tornado. From the looks of the news video, there’s notmuch hope of salvaging anything. Will have to deal with it whenwe get home; at least it’s insured.”
Whew! Judging by what I know of Russ Marooney, it’s just aswell they weren’t in Oklahoma when the tornados hit; he’d havecreated a third one all by himself.
And now I come to my favourite story and an update closer tohome.
Readers will be glad to learn that as the mischievous, 90-year-old Jerry MacPherson continues to sow “seeds of community” inhis garden, more and more of his North Vancouver neighbours arehappily joining in. Flowering shrubs and plants of all sizes arriveat the plot day by day, and the secret to some of the “magic” thathappened is secret no more.
When Jerry telephoned to tell me what was happening, hecould barely contain his excitement. “Plants are coming from allover; they even want me to plant some small trees now,” he blurtedout in a rush.
“And those city guys are great; one of them even climbed downfrom his machine and came over to shake my hand,” he laughed.
So there you are, you Secret City Guys; consider yourselves welland truly thanked, by Jerry and his helpers and, most of all, by me— not just because you made Jerry’s day so happy, but because yourestored some of my faith in the human condition.
In short, you know what “community” is all about.If only the Lennikovs could join you there in the sunshine
— because all stories are meant to have happy endings, are theynot? rimco@shaw.ca

absorbent, particularly with oil and it’s . . . completely safe forthe environment, so you don’t cause any further damage.”
Currently, both Park Royal salons have collected about agarbage bag full of hair, and are hoping to have at least twobags each to send down on May 31 along with submissionsfrom Hennessey’s other B.C. locations.
According to the Matter of Trust website, BP has officiallydeclined donations at this time. But the charity is still collectingfur and hair from around the globe, just in case.
“We are simply providing volunteers the opportunity tomake hair booms and stockpile them all along the Gulf Coast,in case BP needs them. We’re calling it Plan H (H is for Hair),”they said in a media release.

VETERAN environmental activist Betty Krawczykhas lost her bid to have the Supreme Court ofCanada consider her appeal over protests at WestVancouver’s Eagleridge Bluffs.
Krawczyk, 81, had hoped to appeal her conviction for criminalcontempt of court, which was imposed after she took part inprotesting new highway construction at Eagleridge Bluffs in 2006.
Krawczyk has long maintained that a conviction for criminalcontempt of court was unfair and that she should have beenconvicted of a less serious civil offence.
But on May 13, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled it won’thear her case. As usual, the court gave no reasons for its decision.
Krawczyk said she wasn’t surprised by the decision.
She added she will also continue to fight her case by appealingthe 10-month jail sentence she was handed.
Krawczyk already served seven months in jail, but said it’simportant to fight because of the precedent it sets for otherenvironmental protesters.
Krawczyk said she will also continue to protest, “when the spiritmoves me.”
“Historically it’s the role of grandmothers to be concernedabout what’s being left for the next generation,” she said.
Krawczyk said she has recently finished writing a book about herlife and her causes titled Are You Crazy Lady?
“I know a few people over the years have thought I had a screwloose. . . ,” she said.
Krawczyk was one of a group of 24 activists arrested duringthe 2006 protests. Her subsequent stay at Allouette CorrectionalCentre for Women marked her seventh term in prison.
Top court won’t hear appeal

ACCORDING to locallore, you should plantout your annuals onor after the May longweekend.
But I think your plant-outdate depends on where youlive, either above or below theUpper Levels Highway. If youlive above the highway, thenthe May long weekend is a safeplanting date to avoid frostedannuals. For those of you livingway up at the top of the slope,you may have to wait longer.If you live below the highway,especially close to the water,then you can probably plantout earlier. Deciding whento plant out annuals dependson how late into the seasonwe receive frost, what type ofspring we are having, whetheror not your garden is receivinghard or light frost and howmuch exposure or protectionyou have in the garden.This spring has been bright,relatively dry but a little chillyat night, so beware of frost.
I love good annual plants.They are bright, cheerful andthey work hard all seasonto provide great colourvalue in the garden. For theconnoisseur, buying annualsfrom the garden centre is sogauche. But over the last tenyears or so local garden centreshave improved their selection

Give old furniture a facelift
ONE of the latestdecorative trends is toturn older pieces offurniture into new andexciting showpieces.
Your grandmother’s chairthat she gave you 10 yearsago can be given new lifewith some pretty fabric and afresh coat of paint. Not onlywill you be left with a uniqueand custom piece of furniturebut the results will astoundyou.
Perhaps you have afavourite bench that islooking a little tired andtattered. Rather than tossingit to the garbage bin youmay want to re-think yourstrategy and give it a newlook instead.
Dominique Primeau, ofDominique Primeau Decorhere on the North Shore,is a specialist in design andrestorative decor. It is clearthat he has a keen eye forrecognizing potential inworn-out furniture and canbreathe new life into manydecorative pieces. He studieddesign in Montreal at LasalleCollege before movingto Victoria and then toVancouver to set up his ownbusiness.
Primeau believes thatyou really can make over anold couch or chair by simplyredesigning its colour palette.Simple and economicalchanges can be made witha little imagination andcreativity.
Reupholstering aheadboard will completelychange the look of yourbedroom. Add some customdraperies, an area rug andperhaps a bit of wallpaper and
you’re in business.The studio is special in
its own way. Primeau offersa wide array of designerproducts from fabulousfabrics and unique lighting.You will also find Europeandecorative hardware and mostimportantly the added benefitof a workroom behind thestudio.
The key behind re-upholstering an old piece offurniture is to pay attention
to detail. Each piece mustbe looked at individuallyand carefully planned so asto highlight its beautifulattributes and downplay itsflaws if necessary.
Look for the BarbaraBarry home fragrancecollection, exclusive toPrimeau’s studio for WesternCanada. Fabulous soaps,room fragrances and candlesare available to complementany home decor.
Choose fabrics for yourcouch or chair from BeaconHill, Jab and Stoheimcollections. The choices areendless and you will certainlyfind one or two to fit the bill.
Be sure to get a quote foryour upholstery project. Inthe end it may make sensefinancially to hold on to awell-made piece of furnitureand give it new life withcontemporary fabric and paint.

of annuals for the garden. I do agree that to obtain the newestand coolest trinkets for the garden, seed grown annuals usuallycannot be beaten. Lately I have been checking out garden centresacross the Lower Mainland, looking for new annuals to try in mygarden. Not many, but a few for pots, some to fill in the holes inthe garden and some colour soldiers to line the front of my gardenbeds.
I have a yard of two minds. The front yard receives full sunall day. There is no grass. Instead, there’s a small bluestone patiowith pathways and plenty of garden space for plants I love, sometasty veggies and room for a few annuals for summer colour.The backyard is almost completely covered by two large cedartrees and one enormous Manitoba maple. So I need annuals forsun and shade. I always wanted to try growing zinnias when Iwas designing bedding plant displays, but never quite managedto plant them en masse because of concerns about length offlowering season, their need for heat and mildew problems. Today,there are new zinnia varieties available on the market that areresistant to mildew and bloom all summer until frost, so I will begiving them a try in my front yard.
Three of these new zinnias are being recommended by theAll-America Selections organization; a group that oversees a
collaborative testing program involving horticulture professionalsfrom across North America. Breeders submit new plants to theAAS for evaluation; the plants are then tested at more than 40independent sites located in 24 states and five provinces. All threeof the new zinnias are resistant to mildew and leaf spot disease,grow about 12 to 14 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide andflower from June until frost. The new zinnias are: zinnia doublezahara cherry with symmetrical dark green foliage and double,cherry red, 2 ½ inch flowers. Zinnia double zahara fire hasscarlet-orange flowers and is fully double. Zinnia zahara starlightrose produces rose and white bicolored flowers. All zinnias dobest when planted in good soil to obtain the best blossoms. Theylove heat, are drought tolerant and they will lavish your gardenwith colour when bathing in full sunshine. To help these SouthAmerican and Mexican natives obtain their full share of the heatthey love, plant them in south facing positions anywhere nearconcrete, asphalt or other hard surfaces so they can bath in thereflected heat. They are ideal for pots, baskets and bedding.
Not everything that blooms is grown for beauty, some thingsare grown to be beautiful and edible, so for those of you who lovea good pepper plant, and I do, the AAS has introduced peppercajun belle, a sweet and savory pepper with fruit that looks likea small bell pepper, with three or four lobes. These are early tomature into green peppers after 60 days from transplanting into
your garden. When the peppers are left on the plant they willchange colour from green to scarlet and finish red. Cajun belleis reported to produce a high yield of peppers due to excellentvigour and fruit set. The compact plants are two feet tall and wideand disease resistant, which I like.
The selection of annuals is limitless, whether you grow fromseed or buy from the garden centre; nothing brightens the gardenlike a happy little bedding plant, nothing, except for a tasty,plump, red tomato.

A NaturalFace Lift
Acupuncture face lift is a naturalalternative for individuals seekingto remove facial wrinkles.
HOW IT WORKS
The face is stimulated to increase naturalcollagen production, tighten tone and regain
firmness and natural skin colour. This is doneusing acupuncture, tui na (massage), micro-
current stimulation and herbs. Floramin anti-wrinklecreams and toners, a natural skincare line made in
Canada, are used exclusively for the best results.
Dr. Tahmineh Nikookar has performed this ancient Chinesetreatment for over 10 years and was among the first to
re-introduce it to clients in British Columbia.
Said by one of her clients on the treatment, “I highly recommendacupuncuture facial rejuvenation, the results are amazing. Thesessions are relaxing and there is no downtime. Acupuncture
rejuvenation is more than skin deep. It is as good for the soulas it is for the skin.”

Digital AgeSteve Dotto
WHILE the past few weeks the world of technology may not seemto have delivered earth-shaking changes, the fact is that massivechange is afoot, and it may shake the very foundations of the high-tech world.
For most of us, the launch of the Apple iPad has been the most compellingdrama to watch, although we are still awaiting the first Canadian iPads, as of May 3more than one million units had been sold, with 300,000 sold on the first weekend.
There is no doubt the iPad has the potential to reshape how we use technology.Hot on the heels of the iPad news comes word that one of the former
darlings of the high tech world, Palm, which has recently fallen on hard times, hasbeen sold to HP.
On the surface this may seem like just another high tech acquisition, HP isprone to buy older established companies that fill in gaps in their product mix, theassimilation of Compaq being a prime example. Palm has lost much of its lustre, andthe poor performance of their last gasp effort, the Palm Pre, has left many with theopinion Palm is no longer a premier tech force, hence the HP deal is a footnote onthe month’s activity.
In fact, Palm still has gas in the tank. They are the proud developers of Web OS,a mobile operating system that may be able to give both Android and the iPhone
OS a run for its money.Now that HP owns the assets of Palm, we may see Web OS
grow in significance. HP has the wherewithal to make greathardware, their efforts in the smart-phone world have failed largelybecause they rode the Windows Mobile horse into the fray. Palmmakes great software. I love the features and UI of Web OS, butthey made lousy hardware. The Palm Pre sucked . . . end of story.
But like peanut butter and chocolate we may see somedelicious treat come from the union. These two companiescould well ride up the middle and send a shock wave throughboth Google and Apple, who have spent the last year seeminglyobsessed with each other as they try to model the mobility worldto their image.
The loser in this game is once again Microsoft, whose mobilityefforts continue to fall short of the mark.
As far as change is concerned, all these efforts mark a departurefrom the traditional computing environment, we have alreadymigrated from desktop to laptop as our main computing platformNow we begin the next evolution, from laptop to mobility device,increasingly we are more concerned with connectivity, as webbased applications, communication and information dominatesour use of technology.
This is where the next wave in high-tech dominance willoccur, the mobility space. As computers become less relevant, andmobile devices become more relevant, we will increasingly becometethered to services being offered by our providers. Apple, asusual, will try and own it all, and iTunes, the iPad Bookstore andthe online App Store will be their flagship products. Google will

There’s nothing like a lush green lawn to keep youryard looking great and add value to your home.Keeping it lush and green during the summermonths, however, can be a big challenge- especiallyon the North Shore where watering restrictions andmunicipal pesticide bans have increased the degree ofdifficulty.
Chris O’Donohue of Great Canadian Lawns knows theNorth Shore intimatelyand understands yourproblems.
“At this time of year thehealth of your plantsand lawns need to bemaintained,” says Chris.“As the weather dries,your lawn and garden willstart to become stressed ifnutrients are not availableor water is not applied.With discipline yourlawn can still flourishwhile following the waterrestrictions, but it willsuffer if the fertilizer andnutrients disappear. Ahealthy lawn will alwaysbeat out weeds and is themost effective ways of following the pesticide andherbicide ban on the North Shore.”
While herbicide and pesticide bans areunderstandable, most homeowners are left scramblingtrying to find effective alternatives.
“We are no longer able to apply Weed and Feed toeradicate weeds that have taken over a lot of NorthShore lawns due to poor maintenance or cross
pollination. The alternatives are trying to repair thelawn or replacing it completely. While repairing yourlawn is cheaper in the beginning, keeping it healthyis lot more work than a new lawn. Seeded lawns take4-8 weeks to fill in, where a new lawn can be mowedgenerally within 7-10 days, allowing the kids, pets oradults to use it almost immediately.”
What many people don’t realize is that lawns, like allliving things, have a lifespan.
“If you don’t maintainyour lawn, sooner thanlater you will have toreplace it. Most lawns last15-25 years if maintainedproperly, just like theroof of your house. Wealways recommendfertilizing your lawnwith a premier qualityorganic-based fertilizeron average every 6-8weeks from March untilNovember. As each seasonprogresses the needs willchange too and many ofthe fertilizer companieshave season-specific
blends that address your lawn’s changing nutritionalrequirements.”
If you’re looking at your lawn and garden andstruggling with the water restrictions. Don’t shake yourhead, shake hands with Chris O’Donohue from GreatCanadian Lawns. For more information and tips visitwww.greatcanadianlawns.com or call 604-924-5296 tobook a consultation.

Whiz kids
Start with anintroductionQUESTION:
I have always had mychildren address other adultsas Mister or Missus. Someof my friends are now askingmy children (three and six) tocall them by their first names.When I was younger, no childaddressed an adult this wayand I don’t want my kidsdoing that either. I want myfriends to be comfortable withwhat my children call them,but I also want to feel goodabout how they address theadults in their lives. How do Ibalance the two?Answer:
This is a challenging situation these days. I am actually oneof those adults who likes being called by my first name but I’vealways respected those children and parents who preferred to callme Mrs. Lynn. It’s all about comfort level. One of my children’sadult friends still calls me Mrs. Lynn and that’s fine with me.
Speak to your friends and let them know how you feel. Butwhen you talk to them don’t be critical. Just a simple, “Wewould prefer that our kids call you Mister and Missus Smith” isadequate.
And when you meet children, introduce yourself as MissusJones so they know what to call you.
Question:My two-year-old won’t sit down for circle time with me and
the other moms and kids at our kinder-gym program. Althoughwe’ve been going a couple times a week for about two months,she still prefers to walk around the room, look at books, climb

on the equipment, and basically not follow thedirection of the class. I’ve tried bringing her backinto the circle, and other times I’ve let her go do herown thing. I want to encourage her to participate inthe circle, but she really doesn’t show any interest.Answer:
Congratulations, you have a healthy, active two-year-old on your hands.
Circle time is tough for lots of kids and yourdaughter is one of them. She is expected to sit still,to pay attention and to do the same as the otherkids. But she wants to be active and explore herenvironment. You need to cut her some slack. Shewill learn to enjoy quieter activities as she gets older.
It may be that this is just not the activity for her atthis time in her life and she might do better in anactive program such as toddler gym or swimming.
Question:My five-year-old son is in full toilet-talk mode.
Nothing is funnier than a poo-poo or bum joke. Andif it he finds it funny once, you can bet he’ll find itfunny 20 more times. How do I get him to tone itdown?Answer:
Many kids find nothing funnier than bathroomhumour. Usually if you just ignore it and relax thisstage will pass. As long as he’s not yelling poo-pooin church or in front of people who will be reallyoffended you need to let him know you don’t find it
funny and get on with your day.It’s important that he know the correct terms
for his body parts and elimination process and thisis a good time to teach this. He’s fascinated with hisbum so make sure he knows that he has a penis andtesticles.
It’s not really necessary for him to have to sayurinate and bowel movement (although BM isvery simple to say) as pee and poop are universallyunderstood and accepted.
This is also a good time to get him some bookswith very silly nonsense rhymes to redirect his jokes.

He was just 11 years old but Foote knew then and there thatsome day he would be a musician.
The North Vancouver songster recently won the 2010

■ We Are Extremely Very Good Recyclers, by Lauren Child,Dial, 24 pages, $18.50.■ Redwoods, by Jason Chin, Roaring Brook Press, 24 pages,$18.95.■ OK GO, by Carin Berger, Greenwillow, 24 pages,$23.99.
Allison Taylor McBrydeContributing Writer
CHARLIE and Lola are two of our favourite bookcharacters, and they are also “extremely very goodrecyclers.”
Lola has decided to “bicycle” to prevent huge piles ofgarbage after Charlie teaches her about plastic containers, tincans and saving tons of trees. Then Lola gets the class savingup to plant their very own tree and the recycling message getspassed on — well — to everyone except Marty. Lauren Child’scollage style illustrations are cleverly littered with cutouts ofcardboard, pop bottles and plastic garbage bags.
Jason Chin’s stunning “book within a book” follows ayoung boy’s discovery of the Redwood forest. He discoversthat the Redwoods are the oldest trees in the world and thatmany have lived for more than 2,000 years (while pictured withRoman gladiators and Greek orators reading over his shoulder).The forest comes to life as he learns more facts about thetrees themselves — from tannin to heat-resistant bark shieldsto how the trees create their own rain. A flying squirrel is hiscompanion throughout the book as Chin introduces the otheranimals who live in the canopy — salamanders, red tree volesand marbled murrelets. One can’t help but admire the heightof “Hyperion” — a Redwood tree taller than a thirty storyskyscraper — or the way that Chin seamlessly weaves a wealthof information into an elegantly produced picture book.
Sporting stunning graphic designs, OK GO might be thenewest and shortest environmental treatise in children’s literature.The first word of the text, “Go!” is followed by a mass of cars

Singer a father of fiveFrom page 25
in Squamish, B.C. He started a garage band with friends inhigh school and followed his dream of becoming a musicianwhen he finished school. He knew he loved music, but it wasnot until Foote travelled to New Zealand and Australia that hepursued a career in children’s music.
“I really didn’t know what I wanted to do after high schoolso I went travelling,” he says. “I was introduced to puppetry inAustralia and that’s sort of how I started putting it all togetherthere.”
Since then, the father of five has gone on to write and recordsongs for CBC Television, Disney Records and the animatedTV series Little Bear. He is currently writing songs for theupcoming children’s musical Max and Ruby.
“I’m really excited about Max and Ruby,” he says. “It’sright down my alley with Vaudeville and swing songs — thestyle I grew up with.”
With four previous Juno nominations, Foote is no strangerto the hard work and determination needed to succeed in themusic industry.
While recording his latest album this past year, Foote wasalso on the road performing at shows in small towns and bigcities across North America. Success does not come withoutsacrifice, Foote says.
“I go away somewhere every week and it hasn’t been easyon my family or anyone else,” he says. “If you’re thinking ofgoing into entertainment, you’ve gotta really love it.”
With an award-winning album in stores and a number ofprojects on the go, Foote credits his success to his creativity andan unrelenting drive to succeed. In a changing music industry,the children’s entertainer has used his unique genre of musicalentertainment to succeed.
“The one thing people can’t download for free is liveentertainment. And that’s what I’ve been able to do: combinemy music, my comedy and my props,” he says. “This CD showsthat you constantly need to move ahead with your creativityand your songwriting.”
Despite his hectic performance and songwriting schedule,Foote makes time to mentor students at Vancouver schools. Heoffers workshops for students to encourage music as a career.
“My main message for kids is to believe in your own ideas,to follow through and to never give up,” he says. “I say thesewords to students, to my own kids and to myself. Once you dothat, something great blossoms out of it all.”

IT’S the most wonderful time ofyear; it’s the hap-happiest seasonof all . . . if you’re a local seafoodlover that is.
It may be early in the morning as Iwrite this column but that isn’t provinga deterrent to my salivary glands. Justthinking about zaftig, peachy-pink B.C.spot prawns makes me happy and hungry.
The slippery, carrot-sized critters arethe largest of the seven commercial speciesof shrimp found in Canada’s west coastwaters. They are wild, trap-caught, andrank as a SeaChoice “Best Choice” optionbased on the sustainability criteria usedfor our fisheries assessments. According toSeaChoice, spot prawn fishermen alongthe B.C. coast use baited traps on longlines attached to buoys. The amount ofother species that inadvertently end up inthese prawn traps as by-catch is relativelylow. This gear type is also associated with arelatively low amount of habitat damage.
For years this succulent and sustainableharvest — pulled from the Pacific in Mayand June — has been frozen at sea and sentto Japan.
It doesn’t make much sense, frankly.What is readily available here instead,
frozen in bags in our grocery stores andserved on menus around the LowerMainland, are tiger prawns from Asia.
Not only have they been flown halfwayaround the world to make it to your dinnerplate but their harvest likely includeddeforestation, pesticides, feed enhancers,growth stimulants and antibiotics thatpollute the water in parts of Thailand,Indonesia and Vietnam; all to service an
enormous demand in western countrieslike ours.
Nor do they taste as good as our ownspot prawns, which have a tender, almostlobster-like texture and flavour.
In 2005, a group of local chefs andfishermen figured with a little work to raisethe crustaceans’ prickly profile we could
keep more of them here to enjoy at home.They dreamed up Vancouver’s annual SpotPrawn Festival, a celebration of one of ourtastiest local ingredients.
More than 90 per cent of the prawnscaught in our waters are still going to

THERE has neverbeen a greater need toinvolve our childrenin the purchasing andpreparation of our dailyfood.
There are several reasonsfor this. Perhaps the first andmost significant reason is thatour food supply is gettingmore and more complex,distant and a subject of
persistent controversy.There are several
convergent issues like:sustainability, organic versusconventional, food safety,traceability, accuracy inlabeling, fast food addiction,making our (and allconsumers’) heads spin.
There may be a simpleand enjoyable remedyfor at least some of thesechallenges: we must get the
next generation involved andfamiliar with our primaryfood commodities. Thatmeans that children have theopportunity to work withraw materials: peeling andwashing fruits and vegetables,handling and cooking rawmeats and poultry, andlearning measurements andportion control.
Cooking and bakingfrom scratch have a numberof great benefits. To beginwith, they are positive“hands on” activities with apositive reward: the servingand eating of the food itemsprepared. In the process thechildren (and adults) getto know and feel a rangeof raw, unprocessed flours,fresh local vegetables, meats,cheeses, poultry and seafood.While the preparation andcooking is going on, greaterknowledge can be gainedabout the sources of theproducts and if available anaccurate list of ingredients.
Cooking and baking aretrue life skills. Generallyspeaking, one can make afood item for about halfthe cost of the processedproduct; not to mention thesavings against restaurantmeals, in order of 60-70 percent.
In the case of home-cooked foods you have thefreedom, within reasonablebounds, to vary the salt, spiceand herb amounts and someingredient ratios. This is notadvisable in baking formulas;they must to be exact.
There are only a fewsimple rules to follow. Haveeverything well thoughtout in advance, and havea “lesson plan.” Have allingredients available andready to use. It is advisableto have all participants wearan apron, and maintain goodhygienic practices.
At the completion theclean-up is a natural follow-up to the preparation. Thiscan happen while the cookingprocess is completed.
This week we selectedfour very good recipes foryour files. They are idealto prepare with one ortwo children and fun toserve. We cook all fouritems in our home with mygranddaughter.

Japan, but if we show ourenthusiasm, local fishermenmight be convinced to sell theircatch here at home.
The season kicked off onMay 8. As well as being able tobuy your own bag of prawns atlocal seafood stores (a quick callto Screaming Mimi’s confirmedthat they can be found atLonsdale Quay, for example),many local chefs are featuringthem on their restaurant menusuntil the end of the season.
Chef Rob Parrott atMangia e Bevi Ristorante inWest Vancouver gets a freshsupply each weekend. Heagreed to cook me a selectionof dishes using spot prawns toshowcase their versatility, and todemonstrate a few of the wayshe could be serving them in thecoming weeks.
“It’s fun for me,” saidParrott, who said he has beenmaking use of this harvest foryears, even when they wereharder to come by for localchefs. An avid boater and
fisherman, he also likes to catchthem for his personal use.
For home cooks, Parrotsuggests buying your prawnsalive, or as soon after killingas possible (with their headsremoved). An enzyme foundin the prawns’ heads quicklybegins to turn their flesh mushyafter they die.
Parrott’s dishes sufferedfrom none of that.
Spring-green leaves ofbutter lettuce, laced withorange-basil vinaigrette andlaid in a circular mosaic,
were a perfectly refreshingcomplement to the chilled,poached prawns that nestledon top.
The salad was followed bya spiral of tagliolini, dressedin a creamy lemon sauce andstudded with more prawns, thistime sautéed and served hotfrom the pan.
But the most extraordinaryof the three courses was thedish of grilled prawns, servedwhole and hot, so that you hadto grab and twist off the heads,split open the spiny casingand dip the juicy meat into anaccompanying bowl of butterylimoncello sauce.
After a quick cleansingdip of our fingers into a bowlof warm water with lemons,we finish the red pepper andasparagus hidden underneaththe prawns.
Delicious — and even betterwith the suggested AntinoriSanta Cristina Pinot Grigio,a lively, slightly off-dry whitewine that was a perfect matchfor the prawns.
I’m inspired. When nextyou spot me, I’ll be at the localfish shop, buying my bag ofstill-wiggling crustaceans tocook up at home.
Mangia e Bevi Ristoranteis located at 2222 Marine Dr.,West Vancouver. Call 604-922-8333 to find out when spotprawns are on the menu.

THE Capilano Rugby Club’spremier women’s team stompedCoquitlam’s United Rugby 52-8to win the provincial championshiptitle in front of an appreciativehome crowd Sunday at KlahaniePark.
Not bad for a team that finished theregular season with a 3-3 record and came inas the fourth seed in the playoffs.
“(It was) a shellacking, mate,” headcoach Steve Bennett told the North ShoreNews after the win. “Spectacular, really. Wedidn’t put a foot wrong. . . . (We) didn’t givethem a chance to breathe. From a coachingstandpoint it was beautiful to watch becauseeverything you dream of happening did.”
Hilary Leith opened the scoring with atry for Capilano and by the 20-minute markthe score was 19-0. By half the lead was 33-3and the romp continued in the second evenas Capilano brought in several second-teamsubs.
Leith, Andrea Burk and ErikaSmortchevsky scored two tries apiece whileDarcy Patterson and Heather Jaques eachscored one.
“We literally dominated them from startto finish,” said Bennett. “We played with alot of passion, a lot of heart. . . . Both teamsplayed with huge heart — United didn’t giveup for a second.”
But they were no match for Capilano. Itwas a shocking result considering that Unitedfinished with a 5-1 record in league play,including a 30-12 dispatching of Capilanoon April 10. That, however, was the lastgame that Capilano lost this season. In theirnext game the Caps routed Cowichan 51-0before closing out the regular season with a24-17 win over Meraloma.
Next came a 21-0 shutout of the formerlyundefeated Burnaby Lake team in semifinalaction before Sunday’s championship win.
The change in fortune, said Bennett, wasdirectly related to the return to the team ofseveral star players who missed a lot of actionthroughout the year.
Burk, Patterson, Jaques and MandyMarchak all were away due to commitmentswith the national team while Beth McNeill,

National team playerspush Caps over the topa member of Canada’s under-20 national team,missed a lot of time with a shoulder injury. Allof them except for Marchak made it back forCapilano’s romp through the playoffs.
“Up until the last few weeks we’ve beenrunning at 50 per cent strength,” said Bennett.“We never actually put the same team out on thefield two weeks running until there were threeweeks left in the season.”
The late-season all-star additions meantthat the team on the field in the final was vastlydifferent from the team that began league play inMarch.
“We finally got a team together that we couldwork with for about the last month and theymanaged to gel quick enough that we couldpeak at the right time,” said Bennett. “It’s almostlike we were playing possum during the regularseason. The goal was just to get into the playoffs,we didn’t care where. We knew that if we got ourbest players back we’d take anyone on. And that’swhat happened.”
When his squad blanked first-place Burnabyin last week’s semifinal, Bennett knew there wasno one who could stop them from claiming thetitle.
“From there on in the confidence in the campwas so high that there was no way these girls weregoing to lose this game.”
Not that they needed it, but the players alsohad extra motivation after losing the last twoprovincial championships, each by a mere twopoints. This was also the last season of play forseveral of the team’s veteran players.
“It was now or never for them,” said Bennett.“They brought their A-game.”
It was the first provincial championship winfor the premier women since 2004.
• • •In men’s action Capilano sent two teams toprovincial finals, winning one. The club’s Division3 team claimed the provincial title with a 22-19win over Kats Rugby Club Saturday at Klahanie.
In Division 1 Capilano lost 29-12 to JamesBay Saturday at the University of Victoria’sWallace Field.

NORTH Vancouver’s Adam Zaruba (left), Jeff McKinnon, Liam Murray and Matt Yanagiya get in some finaltraining before heading to the World Junior Trophy tournament with Canada’s under-20 national team.
Andy Prestaprest@nsnews.com
ALL four of the North Shore players on Canada’sunder-20 men’s rugby team saw action as thenational squad opened play at the Junior WorldRugby Trophy tournament with a convincing 22-6 win over Zimbabwe yesterday in Moscow.
Victoria’s Connor Braid did most of the damage for Canadawith his foot, kicking in five penalties and a conversion asCowichan’s Pat Fraser scored the team’s lone try. Liam Murrayand Jeff McKinnon, both North Vancouver forwards, startedthe contest for the Canadians while Adam Zaruba came in asa sub to start the second half and scrum-half Matt Yanagiyareplaced Fraser in the game’s final minutes.
Zimbabwe got on the board first in the game, pushingCanada back before knocking in a penalty to take a 3-0 lead.Braid responded quickly, notching a penalty two minuteslater to tie the score. Solid kicking from Braid combined withfour missed penalties for Zimbabwe made the score 9-3 athalftime.
Canada took control in the second half, pulling away to lead22-3 before a late drop goal from Zimbabwe made it 22-6.
“Obviously (Zimbabwe) were very unfortunate in the firsthalf not to come away with some of the points,” said Canadianhead coach Tim Murdy, another North Shore link, in a RugbyCanada press release. “It’s a difficult things sometimes for kickersin international rugby and lucky for us Zimbabwe’s kicker hadan off day. I was very proud of the way our boys played. Theywere able to scramble back on defence several times and ensurethat Zimbabwe weren’t able to cross the line.”
Canada’s next game will be against hosts Russia on Saturdayat 4 p.m. local time (5 a.m. PST). The Canadians finish roundrobin play against Japan May 26.
The eight-team Junior World Trophy tournament is onestep down from the Junior World Championships. Last yearCanada played in the world championships but were relegatedafter a 14th-place finish.

ARGYLE secondary basketball star Jesse Jeffers willattend Trinity Western University next year and playCIS hoops for the Spartans.
Jeffers led Argyle to a North Shore title this season and scoredsome fame when he bucketed 50 points, including the game-winning basket at the buzzer, in a 79-77 win over Sir CharlesTupper in the provincial AAA championships. Argyle lost the rest oftheir games but Jeffers ended the tournament as the leading scorerand was named to the third all-star team.
Langley-based TWU was a good fit for a number of reasons,including its Christian affiliation, its human kinetics program, itsnew training facility at the Langley Event Centre and it’s strongbasketball program which is currently fronted by CIS player of theyear Jacob Doerkson, said Jeffers.
“I went for some practices and it felt right,” Jeffers told theNorth Shore News. “They’ve got a really strong basketball teamand program and I felt like I fit in.”
TWU is thrilled to have the six-foot-six forward, said Spartanshead coach Scott Allen in a press release.
“Jesse is a vital addition to Spartans basketball,” he said. “Jessehas excellent touch and has an innate ability to score, which waswitnessed many times in the past year. Jesse is a great slasher andscorer and will most likely play the wing where he can use hisathleticism and strong leaping ability.”
Jeffers will be groomed to take over at the forward spot aftercurrent stars Doerkson and Tyrell Mara graduate after next season,said Allen.
“Jesse will fit into our model of being a well-balanced studentathlete,” Allen said. “(He) understands that the classroom,community involvement and life experiences run parallel with ourbasketball success.”
Jeffers was named MVP of the Howe Sound championships thisseason and has played on provincial teams at the under-15, under-16 and under-17 levels.
