What do you notice about the back of this car?John Fairclough stands by quietly as the group of teens

looks closer at his AstonMartin MKII Ulster.Its backwards. It looks like the front of the car, offers

one of the kids.Fairclough agrees and goes on to explain the outer design

and inner workings of his classic British car as the teens taketurns examining the wheels, the interior, and the engine.They will stay for a good 10 minutes to soak in the historyFairclough shares before moving on to the next entry.

Grey clouds have rolled in but the rain is holding off forthe 46th annual Heritage Classic car show atWaterfrontPark Aug. 15. Organized by the MG Jaguar Club, theshow features MGs and Jaguars, new and old, with a smallcollection of classic British motorcycles in the mix.

Jennifer Orum is one of the organizers of the show, amember of the club, and owner of a classic 1970MGBRoadster parked in the middle of the eld among a row ofother classic Brits.

The thing about British cars of this era (is) they werequirky.You look at many of them, they look quite unique.They have quirky characteristics. It makes it interesting, saysOrum.The era to which shes referring is the 1960s and 70s,noting it was a time when there was a large number of Britishcars being sold in North America, particularly in California.Her roadster, which she has owned for about 12 years, wasoriginally imported to the Golden State before making itsway to Canada.

It was a very memorable time for people who enjoy littlesports cars.There were a lot of them.A lot of different kinds,notes Orum.

A few years ago, her MG earned second place in a NorthAmerican concourse (a high-level car competition), butits main job now is as a driver.Throughout the spring,summer and fall, Orum drives the roadster to various carshows, travelling at least 6,000 miles a year. She often getsstopped and asked about her car by people who recognize itfrom when they were young.

It carries with it a bit of history. Certainly people in the

baby boomer generation have fond memories of these cars.And that is something that concerns many members of

British car clubs these days, says Orum.These cars havemeaning to current owners because they are from thegeneration who saw them on the roads, in the movies, and inpopular culture when they were teens.They admired themfrom afar, too young to afford one at the time.

But newer generations dont have that experience orconnection so are less interested in them, says Orum. Shecites a recent example of a young boy who excitedly askedher if her car was a Ferrari. He had no idea it was an oldBritish roadster.

So what we know we have to do is to try to come up withways to interest young people in classic cars because if wedont get them interested in them, and interested in workingon them, xing them, and driving them, when we die off, ourcars may end up in junkyards.

As part of that effort to interest a younger generation, forthe rst time in the history of the Heritage Classic, a team ofteens was enlisted to judge the top car at this years show.

We think thats a really fun way to encourage youngkids to take a look at cars, explains Orum.Theyre notcomputerized, so in many ways youd think: why would a kidbe interested in a funny old car?Well, you put them into the

seat of one of these unique little cars and its very hard forthem not to get keen.

Following the group of youth judges around the morningof the recent show, its apparent the plan might be working.Not all, but many of the kids seem at least somewhatinterested in what they are looking at.With a little promptingfrom a couple of adult guides, the youth judges poke theirheads under hoods, run their hands along detailing, and askthe car owners a bunch of questions, taking notes along theway.

Do the lights work?How did you rebuild this?Why are there two carburetors?Why does the bumper look different?The owners get into it too.Have a look at this.You wont see this today, one driver

notes of his cars wood frame.Do you know where the pedals are?The gas pedal is

usually on the right, but what do you notice? In this case, itsin the middle, notes another.

Twelve-year-old Haseem Ladha and his 14-year-oldbrother Noorayne are part of the youth judging team.Theirfather Hussein, who calls himself a car buff, is also on hand,and says he has loved cars since he was a kid.

Haseems interest in cars was inspired by his fathers.Basically, Im the less enthusiastic version of him,

reports Haseem, pointing to his dad.Noorayne particularly appreciates the esthetics and

technical elements of the cars, and tends toward questionsabout their inner workings as the group meanders along.Both are keen to listen and learn, and show a particularinterest in a red 1969 E-Type Jaguar Series 2 sitting at theback of the eld with its hood raised. Owner John Clarkenotes that the Series 2 addition to the name means theheadlights are positioned below the bumper.They are abovethe bumper in the Series 1 version.

Very interesting,mumbles Noorayne as he listens to theexplanation.When asked what he thinks of the car he answersquickly: Cool. I want one of these.

Haseem agrees and says he is going to get one when he is

Video surfaced onlineWednesday of NorthVancouver City MayorDarrell Mussatto in aquaint Norwegian towntesting out a bike lift thathe hopes can be installedon some hilly streetsback home.

A local TV stationlmed Mussatto inTrondheim giving theinnovative bike lift a whirl,as children ran up the hillalongside him.

Watch out, I mightfall off, Mussatto is heardtelling them.

The CycloCable,brought toTrondheim,population 181,513,

two decades ago, hasintroduced a whole newgroup of people to cyclingand changed the dynamicof the city, said Mussatto,who was shown the bikelift by its inventor, JarleWanvik.

It is really, reallypopular with manyrecreational and casualcyclists. Its used every

minute and sometimesit has lineups for peoplewanting to get on, saidMussatto, via email fromTrondheim.

The apparatus operatessimilar to a ski lift andis comprised of a wirerope with 11 footplatesattached to it, along with

Dear Editor:Re. Cyclists, ItsTime to Grow Up and Learn

the Rules of the Road, July 1 Mailbox.(Letter-writer Peter) Black, you have hit the

proverbial nail on the head with your statement:My kids grew up inWestVan and learned ata very young age the rules and courtesies ofbicycling on our roadways.

I learned the rules of the road in elementaryschool, then, under the guidance of the RCMP,practised those rules in an empty parking lotacross the street. I havent forgotten them eitherand, as such, fall into the minority of cyclistswho do ride within the law.The school districts,RCMP and Can-Bike (Cycling Canada) needto make cycling education mandatory, fromkindergarten all the way up to Grade 12. In theNetherlands, for example, cycling education ismandatory. Of course, education would need tobe backed up with proper enforcement by policeto help drive home the lessons learned.

Over the years, this has been phased out andnow we have a situation where we have a growingnumber of cyclists who fall into one of twocategories:

1: Cyclists who legitimately do not know therules of the road.These tend to be newer cyclists

(kids/youth, lifestyle change, etc.) who wouldgreatly benet from a Can-Bike course, whichcovers all that, along with some rides on quietresidential streets so they can put what theyvelearned into actual practice.

2:The elitists. They are a broad spectrumof cyclists. I will give two examples due tolimitations on letter length.

Many already know the rules of the road and,for the most part, follow them.That said, theyuse various techniques to get from Point A toPoint B.The Idaho stop is the most commontrick observed.This is a rolling stop where a

cyclist slows down as much as possible, withouthaving to put a foot down, checks for cross trafcand then proceeds, irregardless of whether its astop sign or a red trafc light. Many who fall intothis category are couriers and skilled cyclists.

At the other extreme is the cyclist whoseattitude says: I am not subject to the rules of theroad.Youll nd them pulling every stunt underthe sun as they go from Point A to Point B. Itsthis group of cyclists who make all cyclists lookbad.Kirsten AndersonKamloops

VIEWPOINT

Poll positionThe latest poll, conducted by areputable rm and commissionedby a group you admire, hasconcluded exactly what you want it to.Your team is neck-and-neck for the leadand picking up momentum.It kind of feels that way with so many

polls showing such a tight federalelection race. But a couple reminders:Its still awfully early in the campaignand pollsters can get it wrong (AdrianDix could tell you a thing or two aboutthat). Riding-level predictions rarely haveenough data to create an accurate pictureof voters intentions (and you know whatthey say about good intentions).Politicians at the bottom of the heap

like to say the only poll that mattersis the one on election day, and theyretotally right. In a country where nationalturnout hasnt been above 70 per cent

since 1988, the game is won and lost bygetting the lazy likely voters out whenit counts.With our history of scandal,both recent and in days of yore, peopleare getting disaffected. Attack ads areonly dumping more water on politicalengagement.But a tight race, or the perception of

one, is certainly good for democracy as itwill motivate people to get their rear endsinto a ballot booth.If the race stays this tight closer to E-

Day, expect the issues of strategic voting,a minority government and cue thedramatic music coalitions to dominatethe discourse.Nothing could be more exciting than a

photo nish but this race is a marathon,not a sprint.We just hope the parties, thepollsters and the press dont lose steambefore Oct. 19.

Dear Editor:After another week of sitting on the Upper

Levels in trafc for 90 minutes a day I have lotsof time to ponder things.Why is it that noneof the federal political candidates have evenmentioned the issue of building a third crossingthis election?

What has MP Andrew Saxton done in yearsof ofce to solve the problem?

Why is it that the Canadian Forces can ght

four wars in far away lands (including Bosnia)but we cannot get the government to build onetunnel?

Why are the Sixth Field Engineers notdeployed in this emergency to build a BaileyBridge across Lynn Creek and blast rock in theSeymour River now that we have epic low riverwater.Zoltan BosnormenyNorthVancouver

an accelerator to get thecyclist going. One footrests on the metal platewhile the rider sits on thebike and is propelled upthe slope.

Mussatto said he wasquite intrigued by theCycloCable, at the lastcity council meeting inJuly, and paid for theTrondheim trip out of hisown pocket.The mayoris hoping a bike lift canbe installed perhaps ontheWest Keith Road hillbetween Bewicke andJones avenues.

It is quite a long hilland a great connectionbetween the lower andcentral parts of our city,said Mussatto.

Council, in July,supported having staffinvestigate the costs andviability associated withbringing in a bike liftsystem to the city, andreport back to them in thefall.

Coun. Craig Keating,who made the motion, saidhe has heard from parentswho want to introducetheir kids to bikingabout how challengingit is to navigate NorthVancouvers hilly terrain.

Coun. Don Bell saidits worth exploring thepossibility of a bike lift,because electric bikes,another alternative, areexpensive and morevulnerable to theft thanconventional bikes.

This latest feasibilitystudy is a followup to apreliminary study the citydid in 2010 to look atbringing the CycloCablesystem to NorthVancouver.

TheTrondheim bikelift, the only one inthe world, was around$300,000 to install andextends 130 metres. In2010, the annual operatingcosts were $13,000, offsetby $90,000 per year inrevenue from the liftsusers.

A statement from theNorthVancouver schooldistrict conrms that Smithhas been a teacher at Argylesecondary since 2005, butprivacy legislation preventsthe district from releasingany further details about hisemployment history.

The allegationswere brought directly tothe RCMP by a formerstudent and the SchoolDistrict has no record orknowledge of any priorincidents of misconductby Mr. Smith towardsother students, read thestatement. (Smith) wasplaced on suspension,without pay, following hisarrest and will remain on

suspension throughout thecourse of these proceedings.This is the school districtsstandard procedure whencharges of this kind arelaid against an employeeand reects the boardsparamount concernfor student safety andwellbeing.

The alleged exploitationhappened in NorthVancouver. Smith is dueback in NorthVancouverprovincial court on Sept. 9.

The district has assignedits critical incident team toprovide counselling supportfor staff or students in need,according to the district.

Police said there is noreason to suspect Smithwas involved with otherstudents, but if anyonebelieves they may be avictim, they should come

forward.All district employees,

including teachers, are in-formed of, and expected toabide by policy, proceduresand unambiguous profes-sional codes of conduct andethics in relation to studentsafety, the school districtsstatement continued.Administrators review allboard policies with respectto standards of appropriateconduct and interactionwith students at the begin-ning of each school year.

Smith has not entered aplea. None of the allegationshas been proven in court.

library boards inWestVancouver, among others.

Our life was absolutelydelightful, said Creighton.

Joanie rst becamesick in 1999 with breastcancer, which later wentinto remission. And then,dammit, in 2010 it cameback again, said Creighton.

May 13, 2010 was a veryunusual day for Creighton.He entered the palliativecare ward at Lions Gateto visit Joanie, and Sugarhappened to be standing outfront. And he said, Denis, Ithink this might be the day,recalled Creighton.

Sugar comfortedCreighton as they walkeddown the hall together toJoanies room.Her labouredbreathing almost soundedlike snoring, recalledCreighton. Paul said onlyone thing, he said Joanquite loud.And nothinghappened, said Creighton.At that moment Creightonwas the most lost he hadever been in his life. To me,Joanie was my rock. Shewas just everything to me,Creighton said.

After wandering around

aimlessly for a couple hoursCreighton returned to theroom and saw a nurse gentlyplacing a stethoscope overJoanies heart. And I said tothe nurse, Is she gone?Thenurse took a couple secondsand she said yes, saidCreighton softly.

The memory of that dayis all too poignant for Creigh-ton, who today rests in hisbed on the same oor but inthe opposite wing.Creighton,who has no children, said hedidnt hesitate when he madethe generous donation to thePaul Sugar Foundation.

I thought,God Ive gotthis money, Im never goingto use it all, said Creighton.Suddenly it just appeared:give Paul Sugar a millionbucks.

Foundation president andco-founder Dr.MaryleneKyriazis said it was almosttoo good to be true whenthey got Creightons call.

The foundation wasestablished a year agowith a mandate to ll thevoid between medical andemotional support forpalliative patients and theirfamilies, while easing someof the nancial burden.Support ranges from

sourcing medical equipmentto providing accommodationor transportation for patientsor visiting family, but mostimportantly making all thosegoing through the palliativeprocess feel comfortable.

Creightons donation isthe foundations largest todate thereby enabling theCentre for Palliative Supportto open its doors on Oct. 1 inDelbrook Plaza.

Its going to be hugehelp for us moving forwardand will have a big impactfor the whole North Shorecommunity because they willneed these services one dayor at multiple points in theirlives, said Kyriazis.

The 1,000-square-footcentre will be a resource forpalliative patients and theircaregivers and is meantto be accessed at the startof a terminal prognosis,which can be a confusingand frightening time.At thecentre, clients can connectwith other people goingthrough the same journeyand lean on volunteers andcounsellors for support.

In order to help themget through every day withlife when they know they arefacing death, said Kyriazis.

Time for a little tnessQ&A. Lets go!

Question: I sit all day atwork.When I get home,my back is stiff, tight, andvery sore.What is the beststretch I can do to getsome relief?

Answer:These days, manyjobs require prolongedsitting, with serious negativeeffects, including increasedback pain.As a result,occupational therapists oftensuggest standing desks, ballchairs, walking meetings,and more, to break up theday.

But youre right,stretching remains a key wayto ght back! In particular,target your latissimus dorsiand back extensor musclesto limber up and providerelief.To start, try kneelingon a mat, lowering yourhead to the ground oras close as possible, andstretching your arms forward

with palms down and yourglutes in contact with yourheels.

Yoga instructors may callthis the childs pose, butto tness instructors, its theprayer stretch! You shouldfeel a stretch through the

middle, outer, and lowerback muscles and it willalso separate any lightlycompacted vertebrae in yourspine. Hold the stretch for60 seconds and perform itat least three times daily.Remember, stretching is a

great stress reliever. So besure to relax, and breathedeep.

Q: I care about health,but Im so busy!What isthe minimum amount Ishould exercise to be t?

A:Most of us are prettybusy, but the trick is toconsider exercise a priorityand build your life aroundit. Still, I understand if youcant t in multiple hours of

*X%%XP\


daily exercise.If you simply want a

healthy lifestyle, plan onexercising very hard at leastthree times per week for 45minutes each time.At thisfrequency, though, you mustaccept you probably wontbuild massive muscles orrock solid abs.Also, eachsession must be a completefull-body workout withstretching, strength, andcardio components.

If your time is limited,

youll also need to utilizethe High Intensity IntervalTraining (HIIT) method,rather than any type of slowjog, or slog, no mater whatequipment you do it on!And of course, the last key isconsistency.

Q: Im a hockey player.Howmany times perweek should I work on legstrength this summer?

A: Leg strength is veryimportant for hockeyplayers. Its what gives

you speed up the ice andstrength for battles alongthe boards. Still, the mostcommon mistake with legstrength is over-training.Instead, try to limit your legstrength sessions to two perweek.

For the rst, focus onpure strength with classiccompound exercises like thesquats, lunges, deadlifts, calf-raises, and hamstring curlsat or near your max weight.For the second workout,focus on hockey specicstrength with balance

exercises, sled pushes, andvarious dynamic lunges.

Working on leg strengthonly twice per week will alsoleave your legs with enoughenergy left to cycle or run forcardiovascular conditioning another key componentof off-season training.

Have you noticed an influxof crows, skunks, raccoons andother animals digging up yourlawn andmaking amess?

If you have, it could bebecause your turf has beeninfested by the very invasiveEuropean Chafer beetle.

First identified in our areainNewWestminster in 2001,the species has spread rapidlyacross the LowerMainland.Chafer beetles reproducequickly and feed on roots of alltypes, but their favourites arethe fibrous roots of grass andturf used for lawns.

In a way, when the crowsand raccoons dig in, theyredoing us a favour explainsGrahamThomas, owner ofNorth Vancouvers Creative

Bricks n Blocks. Theyrepreying on the Chafer grubsthat are feeding just below thesurface, preventing evenmoreextensive reproduction andinfestation thanwhat werealready seeing.

But the birds andwildanimals also due the bulk

of the damage to your lawn,leaving youwith costly andtime-consuming bills formaintenance and repair, withno guarantee that the Chaferswont take root again a seasonor two down the road.

Chafer beetlesmate andlay their eggs in June and July,and the eggs hatch just twoweeks later,Thomas explains.The young chafer grubs willfeed just below your lawnssurface until November, whichwill cause it to turn yellow.Theyll also attract the attentionof hungry birds and animals inthe area.

If your lawn has become ahome for Chafer beetles, youcan battle themwith naturalor chemical treatments, or youcan consider an alternativeoption such asmulch, pavingstones or artificial turf.

Artificial grass has come a

long way in the last few years,withmajor improvementsin colour and texture, saysThomas. Our Bella Turfline is becoming increasinglypopular among homeownerswho realize they can have abeautiful, green lawn 365 daysof the year with nomowing, nofertilizing and noworries aboutdamage fromChafer beetlesor the creatures that prey onthem.

With the possibilitylooming that this summerswater restrictions couldbecome a regular occurrencein years to come in the LowerMainland, why not get aheadof the curve andmake the eco-friendly switch?

Bella Turf is versatile,durable and extremely easy toinstall, saysThomas. Youryard can be a tough, clean,low-maintenance paradise thatyour family will enjoy today,and that will increase the resalevalue of your home tomorrow.

It was Nov. 3 last year when about 20 millimetres of rainfell on the North Shore in just two hours.The heavy rain caused mud and debris to clog culverts on

Hastings and Kilmer creeks. Just before 10 p.m., the banksgave way and a torrent of water and debris ooded throughLynnValley neighbourhoods causing more than $1 millionin damages. Up to 17 homes were evacuated and at least 20suffered water damage.Mud and water from Hastings Creekalso washed into Argyle secondary, damaging about eightclassrooms and shutting the school for the day.Neighbourhood resident Jane Creed was new to the area,

having moved there with her family just that year. It was quitean introduction.I think with the oods last year we saw that the community

really gets out and rallies for each other, she says.The sentiment supports her view that LynnValley has a

friendly, community atmosphere.

It was part of the reason she and her husband decided tomove their family from the Canyon Heights area where theywere living on a pleasant cul-de-sac.Although they liked thearea, they wanted their kids to be able to walk to school andfelt LynnValley offered that.I wanted more mobility for my kids and more

independence for them, she notes. I think LynnValley offersyou the opportunity to get out of your car.With amenities and outdoor recreation in close proximity,

Creed says the neighbourhood is more accessible. Its areally family-friendly environment, she notes. Theres asense of neighbourhood.Kilmer Park in particular is a greatplace to join others from the area and watch communitysports, especially in the summer, she adds.When asked if theneighbourhood has a distinct avour, she pauses briey beforeanswering: I guess its kind of homey.Trafc, however, seems to be getting worse in the area since

the family moved there, and Creed says she would like tosee more mom-and-pop stores run by locals and managedby locals. They offer what the community needs then, sheexplains.Living so close to popular hiking trails is denitely a perk

for Creeds active family, but it does come with a small price:larger crowds during the peak of tourism season.This summerseemed particularly busy, and Creed says there were lineupsfor the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, which she hasntseen before. However, I love to see it accessed, she notes.Nestled betweenMount Fromme andMount Seymour,

LynnValley boasts a bevy of forested playground includingLynn Headwaters Regional Park and the Lower SeymourConservation Reserve.Due to its heavily treed landscape, its not surprising

the neighbourhood grew up around the lumber industry.Originally the territory of the Coast Salish people and theirdescendents for many generations, European settlement ofthe area began in the early 1900s.The book Early Days inLynnValley byWalter Draycott notes that the neighbourhoodwas originally known as Shaketown, perhaps named after theshake-sided shacks used to house early settlers, or the cedarshakes (wooden shingles) produced by the lumber mill.The

from page 16

neighbourhoodsname was eventually changed to LynnValley, and the booknotes it was a misspelling of the pioneering Linn familyname.A bronze statue of Draycott sits on a bench in Pioneer

Park as a tribute to the local historian and author.A longtimeLynnValley resident, Draycott wrote many accounts of his lifethere, including history and details of local plants and animals.According to Draycotts book, Lynn Canyon Park was the rstpark in the area and hosted the rst LynnValley Day in 1912.The community event continues, more than 100 years later.It is one of many events in the neighbourhood that

contribute a family-friendly feel.Jim Lanctot is a local Realtor, who moved to LynnValley

with his wife 20 years ago to raise a family.They now havethree kids, and Lanctot describes the neighbourhood as safeand comfortable, featuring a multi-generational demographic.Lots of younger families have moved into the area, while olderparents and grandparents remain after raising their own kidsthere. Lanctot describes LynnValley residents as humbleand happy to be there.I love it. If nothing was to change Id be very happy to be

here and raise my family and grow old, he adds.But change has happened in the neighbourhood over the

years. It was only about three decades ago when the area wasconsidered the wrong side of the tracks.In keeping with the current housing trend, however, Lynn

Valley is now as expensive as other areas on the North Shore,and although there arent many monster homes going up,older homes are getting replaced with newer ones.Lot sizes range from 33 to 70 feet, and the average full-size

lot is about 50 by 130 feet, notes Lanctot.Its no big deal to have a 33-foot lot in LynnValley because

you have access to so much outside of your own property todo, he adds.The design of the neighbourhood lends itself to community-

building, he says, noting the road system features lots ofcul-de-sacs where residents can easily get to know one another.The geography also lends itself to funneling people down tothe village and main square because its in a valley, he adds.Its really in the last 10 years youve seen a big change

with the development of the new library and that whole

town square really broughtthe community together,says Lanctot, who is also amember of the communityassociation and publisherof the community websitelynnvalleylife.com. Eveningconcerts in the summer and

neighbourhoods

Christmas tree displays inthe winter are just two ofthe events featured at thetown square helping to bringpeople together, he adds.When asked about the

future of the neighbourhood,Lanctot says he doesntforesee too much changein the next 10 years.There

is some redevelopmentexpected, though, includinga redevelopment of the LynnValley mall. District councilhas issue a developmentpermit for LynnValleyCentre, which will eventuallyinclude a 50,000-square-footcommercial podium and 360residential units in six towersbetween four and 12 storeysin height. Constructionis expected to take placebetween 2016 and 2018.Lanctot says he doesnt

really have a positioneither for or against newdevelopment, and says thearea could eventually takeon aWhistler-like feel in thevillage core.Theres some real mixed

reviews, some people arepro and some people arevery anti-buildings, butunfortunately I think theresnothing we can really doabout that. Its going to bewhat its going to be, henotes.

Recently a pair of robinshatched their family ina nest they built on thewreath that decoratesthe front door of a NorthVancouver home.

SuzanneWilson,born inWisconsin andnow a Canadian, andher husband Alan,WestVancouver born and aretired elementary schoollibrarian, raised theirfamily in this home in theCloverly neighbourhoodwhere they have lived since1972.

Suzanne recorded thestory of the robins andtheir offspring in theirtwiggy home in a series ofphotographs. Its what shedoes.

Her vocation as adocumentarian of NorthVancouver homes began inthe year 2000 withY2K.

WhenY2K camealong, I realized we wereliving in interesting times,she says. I began thinkingabout what I could do tomark this time.

She set out tophotograph 2,000 homesin the City of NorthVancouver in one year.To accompany eachphotograph in theYourHouse/Our Home project,Suzanne recorded as muchabout the house and itsoccupants as she couldlearn.

She began on NewYears Day with the homeof Percy and MarjorieBarber at 1835WestviewDr.The Barbers purchasedthe lot onView Drive, as itwas known then, in 1955.It had taken the family 14years, with Percy walkingevery day from their rentedwartime house to his jobat the shipyards, to saveenough money to buy thelot and build a home.Thefull story of the house andthe Barber family is at the

NorthVancouver Archives.As heritage houses

become more rare andinterest in them grows, thevalue of these records andphotographs, in colourfor the rst time in thearchives collection, will alsogrow, says NorthVancouverarchivist JanetTurner.

For the next project,Demolition andConstruction, Suzannefocused her cameras eyeon buildings scheduledfor demolition and keptit there for 10 years,expanding her scope toinclude NorthVancouversnon-residential buildings.

Suzanne processed thelm yes, black and whitelm in her basementdarkroom, which doubled

as the laundry room, justas her father, a hobbyphotographer, had doneback home in Milwaukee.

Her blog, DemolitionMama, documents theplace these buildingsoccupied in the communitythrough photographs and,where possible, a recordof the building and itsoccupants.

When the demolitionproject closed, Suzannefound herself withall these churches.Every Sunday for threeyears, Suzanne postedphotographs and records ofNorthVancouver churchesin her Churches onSundays blog. Even thoselong gone are in a categoryshe calls Posthumous.

Recently, Suzannecollected the posts in aseries of booklets DeepCove, LynnValley, theCity and the District,First Nations lands andPosthumous anddonated them to the NorthVancouver Archives.

is an invaluable assetto the communityrecord, saysTurner.Usually such recordsare maintained in theirrespective church archives.Suzanne has contributeda unique portrait of NorthVancouver churches interiors, exteriors,architectural details andstories.The value ofthese records will growenormously.

Suzannes documentaryprojects have found apermanent home in theNorthVancouver Museumand Archives.

In my experience, saysTurner, the most commonreference question is

Does the house have astory? In combiningphotographs and historiesof the houses and buildingsof NorthVancouver,Suzanne has created aunique documentaryrecord of lasting interestand increasing value to hercommunity.

Suzanne has a passionfor built heritage, skillas a photographer, andthe determination tosee a project through tocompletion, saysTurner.Shes had the vision,in all her projects, ofmaking the photographsand research she hasaccumulated available forfuture generations.TheNorthVancouver Archivesis very grateful to Suzanne

for the donation of theseinvaluable resources to ourholdings.

Your House/OurHome, Demolitionand Construction, andChurches on Sundays areSuzanneWilsons tributeto the people of NorthVancouver who lived,worked and worshiped inthese buildings, and hergift to the communitywhere she raised her family.

This entire communityis our home, she says.This is our history, andit needs to be collected,preserved and shared.

I can understand how worried you must be. The initial reac-tion of many seniors faced with declining vitality is a down-right rejection of the notion that assistance is needed. Thekey here is to be patient, remain positive and introduce theidea slowly. By introducing help slowly, you give your par-ents time to accept the idea. For example, you could reassureyour parents by suggesting a trial period, after which theservice can be cancelled at any time. Its also important youpresent the support as being for YOUR own peace of mind.

Make certain the support worker starts with householdchores, NOT hands on care. The more personal, hands ontasks can be introduced as familiarity grows. Encouragefamily and friends and, especially, the family doctor to letthem know that they think a support worker is a great idea.

Often seniors are concerned about the cost of services. Keepin mind many of todays seniors experienced the GreatDepression and World War years, so every dollar is valuable!If they visit some nursing homes they can consider theiroptions, check the costs, and perhaps realise that they wouldprefer to accept help in order to remain in their home.

Q: My parents are really struggling to live alone and I feelthey would benefit from help in the home, such as mealpreparation, assistance with bathing, and so on. Thechallenge is that they refuse to allow anyone into theirhome to assist them!

much older, like in his 40sor 50s. In the meantime,though, he has an offer forClarke: Can I trade you myPS4 for this car?

Although he is pleased hiskids have an interest in cars,Hussein notes it only goesso far. One thing I knowthat they dont is how to xthem, he reports.

Diligently taking notesand paying attention alongthe way is 11-year-old MarkShort. His father John ishanging back behind thecrowd taking photos.

Some kids are Legokids, hes a car guy, he says,noting Mark has always beeninterested in British cars inparticular. I think JamesBond has something to dowith it.

TheWestVancouver teendidnt even know the carshow was on but happenedto be walking by the parkwith his parents and askedif he could join the teenjudging once he saw whatthey were doing.

Its like hes died andgone to heaven, notes Johnwith a laugh.

A modern white JaguarF-Type catches Marksattention at the end of thetour. Very cool. I lovethat car, he remarks.Theowner allows both Mark andHaseem to sit behind thewheel, andMark reports thathe likes the way the interiorfeels.

Can you start themotor? asks one of theteens. Thats the bestquestion of the day, suggestsone of the guides.

The owner revs theengine and a loud, lowrumble shakes the grass.

You cant make thatquiet, says Mark with asmile, adding he loves thepower of the engine.

Although he enjoys thetour of classics that day,Mark says he mostly likesnewer cars in general. Hethinks its a smart idea toask teens to be involved withclassic cars to help sparktheir interest.When askedwhat car he would buy nowif he could own any one inthe world, its difcult tochoose, but he says he wouldstick with a daily driver,such as a BMWM5 or aJaguar F-Type.After lookingover a selection of entries,the day is winding downand its time for the youthjudges to decide on the topthree cars of the show.Theadult monitors suggest someguiding principles, includingif they knew nothing aboutthe price, which car would

they want to have?The group huddles

together in a circle, brieyreferring to their notepads,but the announcementcomes quick. It is a fastand unanimous choice:Third place: the 1934AstonMartin MKII Ulster; secondplace goes to the Jaguar F-

Type, and rst place to theJaguar E-Type.

This was fun, notesNoorayne, and the groupmembers disperse.

Hopefully they will takewith them a new level ofinterest in an era that seemsfar removed from theirmodern-day experience.

Sage advice for parking lot vigilantesPETS

JoanKluchaCanine Connection

As tragic as it is, dogs dieevery year from beingleft in hot vehicles byuneducated dog owners.

This year is no differentand social media is havinga feeding frenzy.Withimages and videos of dogs inassumed distress going viral,parking lot activists havebegun lurking around insearch of dogs.Tempers arerising, along with the heat,

and these self-proclaimedadvocates have stoppedthinking rationally andstarted acting irrationally.

Let me stress a point: justbecause a dog is in a vehicle,does not mean it is on theprecipice of death.A dog canbe in a vehicle for a lengthof time in proper conditionsand be quite comfortable.

One bit of misinformationthat has taken on a life of its

own is the idea that if a dogis panting, it is in distress.Dogs pant for a variety ofreasons. Being on the vergeof physical collapse due toheat exposure is only onereason. It is true that dogspant to cool themselves,but they dont have tobe overheating to do it.They can be well within anormal, healthy, stable bodytemperature range and still

pant. Its completely normal.Dogs also pant when they

are stressed, such as whenstrangers are pacing aroundtheir car and trying to sticktheir hands inside an openwindow in an attempt tocomfort what they assume isa distressed dog.

Some dogs are like that.They arent all happy withstrangers around theirvehicle.The proximity ofunknown humans arounda vehicle can cause a dogto become distressed andbegin to overheat. In anattempt to rescue anotherwise comfortable dog,the overzealous efforts of therescuer can cause the dogundue distress.

Now dont get me wrong,Im aware of how quickly anoverheated dog can go down.But being overzealous onlyalienates people and thwartsefforts towards education.

The best way to changethe situation is to be thechange you wish to see.Educate yourself on thesymptoms of heat stroke anddont overreact.

Observe the dog at adistance and notice if thedog begins to relax as youretreat.You may think youare a dog whisperer anddogs love you, but as I said,standing near a vehicle canagitate and excite a dog.

If the dog still looks

distressed, try to locatethe owner. Contact a storerepresentative and see ifan announcement can bemade over the paging systembefore taking matters intoyour own hands.

If owners presentthemselves, be kind. Letthem know your concernswithout being rude orbelittling them. Inciting anargument does not helpthe cause of education.Allit does is make you looklike a fanatical busybody.Regardless of how youfeel, you are more apt toeducate dog owners throughcompassion than aggression.

Finally, dont attempt toremove the dog from thevehicle.This is very risky asa dog could show aggressionor become fearful and takeoff. Instead, call animalcontrol while observing thedog at a distance and waitfor them to arrive.They willbe able to tell if it is a trueemergency. But remember,if you call the authorities outof spite and overzealousness,you could potentially bepulling them away from atrue emergency where a life,be it canine or human, reallyis in danger.

Being a hero is noble, buta hero always acts from aplace of integrity and truth.

History is huge forSquamish Nation lacrosseplayerAidan Baker.

His great-grandfatherRay Baker, known as theSilver Fox, was inducted intothe Canadian Lacrosse Hallof Fame.

Several other members ofhis family played alongsideRay with the North ShoreIndians, a team that wasa phenomenon, playingmatches in front of large andloud crowds and contendingfor national titles.The namesof the players have becomelegendary, the entire teamenshrined in the B.C. SportsHall of Fame.

I was pretty much bornwith a lacrosse stick in myhands,Aidan Baker says.Its just a lifestyle. Lacrosseis so big not only in mycommunity but in my family.

Its always been the No. 1sport of my community andmy family.

Baker and a group ofother young SquamishNation players are hoping toadd their own names to thathistory when they take partin the rst ever U19WorldLacrosse Challenge runningSept. 11-15 in Six Nations,Ont.

The Squamish NationNorth Shore Indians willcompete against nationalteams from countriesaround the world like CzechRepublic, Germany, Israel,Ireland, Sweden, and, ofcourse, the lacrosse hotbedof the United States. Otherteams taking part willrepresent First Nationsgroups from across Canada.

The tournament isintended to bring togetherthe best young lacrosseplayers in the world in aformat similar to the IIHF

World Junior HockeyChampionships. Baker, the19-year-old captain of theSquamish Nation squad,thinks his sport could usesome of the adoration that isshowered upon the countrysyoung hockey players.
