vancourier.comTHE VOICE OF VANCOUVER NEIGHBOURHOODS

ANDREWFLEMINGStaff writer

Jeremy Gustafson only recently learned what it is ex-actly that MLAs do all day, but he’s running for officeanyway. The unmarried 46-year-old, a former casinodealer who now works as a grip in the film industry,

recently announced his candidacy in the Vancouver-MountPleasant riding in the upcoming May election.

Gustafson, so far the only independent candidate running

in any of Vancouver ‘s 11 ridings (although some fringe partycandidates are also confirmed), said he hopes to combat voterapathy and provide an alternative to the two main parties.

“It took me three eight-hour days to figure out what an MLAdoes on the legislature website, which was a boring read,and I watched a lot of Hansard videos,” Gustafson told theCourier over the phone Monday before heading off to shakesome hands and possibly kiss some babies on the streets ofChinatown.

Independent candidate targets voter apathy

E.HastingscompostinghubseekspermanentlicenceSANDRA THOMASStaff writer

The organizers of a recycling and compost-ing hub and urban farm on East HastingsStreet have applied for a permanent li-cense from Metro Vancouver after the

end of a year-long trial.Joji Kumagai, executive director of the Strath-

cona Business Improvement Association, whichoperates the Strathcona Green Zone ResourcePark, said their temporary licence expires in May.The group has applied to Metro Vancouver for anamendment to its Sewerage and Drainage DistrictMunicipal Solid Waste and Recycling Material Reg-ulatory Bylaw to allow for a permanent licence.

“The process allows for community input,” saidKumagai. “But so far the reaction we’ve had hasbeen positive. We even get residents of the neigh-bourhood dropping by asking for tours.”

As part of the application process, the group wasasked to place newspaper ads asking for commentsfrom the public. Those ads ran March 22 and thepublic has 30 days to comment from that time.

The resource park was built a year ago on whatwas then an empty, 6,100-square-foot parking lotat 1245 East Hastings St. The hub builds on theZero Waste Challenge the Strathcona BIA ran withMetro Vancouver in 2011.

That program ran for nine weeks with 15 busi-nesses engaged in recycling that focused on or-ganic waste, soft plastics and mixed containers.It resulted in the diversion of 2,300 kilograms oforganic waste, 540 kg of soft plastics and 210 kilo-grams of mixed containers from the landfill.

The permanent licence the BIA has applied forwill allow the group to accept and compost an esti-mated 180 kg of food waste and food soiled paperproducts daily.

The hub is allowed to store up to fourtonnes of food waste per day gathered fromlocal restaurants and businesses.

In January, the BIA hired Charlotte Fes-noux as the resource park’s site coordinator,just in time for the first batches of compostto be complete. Soil testing confirmed thecompost met the standards set by the B.C.Ministry of Environment’s Organic MatterRecycling Regulation. The finished prod-uct was deemed “Class A” compost, whichallows unrestricted use in food productionand general horticulture. Kumagai said theBIA wants to sell the organic compost.

“It’s high-quality compost so I’m pretty ex-cited,” said Kumagai. “It feels good to havethis success.”

The next step in the group’s compostingfuture is replacing the small garden chip-per used to grind organic matter with aBokashicycle High Throughput Food WastePulverizer, which will be more efficient andless messy when it comes to processing mat-ter like soggy bread, egg cartons and chick-en bones.

“The logistics of the program includes alot of little things,” said Kumagai. “Like whatcan go in the compost and what can’t.”

Rick Laird, environmental control officerwith Metro Vancouver, said the regulatorybody has received no complaints about theresource park and composting station.

“They’ve applied for an open-ended li-cence, but it has yet to be accessed,” saidLaird. “That will be decided after looking athow the hub has been operating.”

Laird noted so far very little odour has

been created by the composting containers.“But the public has 30 days to comment,”

said Laird.To make a comment about the project,

Gustafson is running in a riding comfortably held by theNDP’s Jenny Kwan since 1996 (the Liberals haven’t de-clared a candidate yet) and, although his chances may beslim, he wants to set an example to others by showing howeasy it is to become a candidate.

“I think most people are more comfortable just sittingaround whining and complaining — I know that is what Idid for the past few years — but if you want to make a differ-ence, here’s how you can do it,” he said. “Part of my shtickis I’m trying to run my campaign for a thousand bucks withbasically just a website, a printer and a bicycle.”

His campaign website, apathyhasavoice.com, featuresstep-by-step instructions on how to meet the Elections B.C.criteria needed to become an independent standing nomi-nee in a riding, including how to set up a campaign account,get the minimum number of registered voter nominations(75) and how to appoint an auditor.

“A lot of people think if they vote for an independentthey’re wasting their vote because an independent will nev-er win, but I don’t think this is the case any more and morepeople want someone who is free from obligations to anypolitical party or corporations.”

Vicki Huntington, the incumbent MLA for Delta South,agrees.

“Where I think the system is failing the voter is that par-ty politics is requiring that the elected representative de-liver the party line or government line to the riding ratherthan the riding’s voice to the government,” said Hunting-ton, the first independent elected to the provincial legis-lature since 1949. “Even though [non-independent can-didates] will say, ‘We will tell the government what thepeople want us to say when we are in a caucus meeting,’it is in secret and the people need to hear what their rep-resentative is saying, they need to understand where theirrepresentative is truly coming from and what they believein and how they are representing the constituency. Onlyan independent can do that.”

She admits that her own circumstances are different frommost independents. The longtime former Delta city coun-cillor is the daughter of a former federal Conservative MPand narrowly defeated former attorney general Wally Op-pal in the 2009 general election largely due to many localresidents’ anger over the Liberal government’s decision al-lowing BC Hydro to build a high voltage power line throughTsawwassen.

“Those things were the only reason I was able to win lasttime but I can tell you that, as a result of Delta South takinga chance on an independent voice, there are other indepen-dents this time that are very close and likely to win and it isbecause we have made it respectable and a viable choice,”she said, adding that fellow independents Bob Simpson(Cariboo North), John van Dongen (Abbotsford South) andArthur Hadland (Peace River North) all have a good shot atwinning their ridings.

The former casino dealer, however, acknowledges thedeck is likely staked against him in Mount Pleasant.

“I realize I have a disadvantage in that I don’t have awhole lot of political experience,” he said with a chuckle.“I’m a bright guy and I learn quick but I saw that most ofthe other independents have a some sort of [political] partybackground.”

Charlotte Fesnoux of the Strathcona Green Zone Resource Park adds ground up food waste to the composter. The hub wants tocompost an estimated 180 kilograms of food waste and food soiled paper products daily.

A4 THE VANCOUVER COURIER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2013

Last month I heard from Vision Van-couver commissioner Trevor Lokewho was happy to inform me LordByng Pool will remain open all

summer long this year.The pool closed last year for several months

during the summer for scheduled mainte-nance, much to the chagrin of regular users ofthe popular attraction, some who even orga-nized a protest while wearing bathing suits.

Loke noted, though, that due to ongoingmaintenance issues, including a leak in thehot tub, the Lord Byng Pool will have tobe closed for maintenance work betweenDec. 9 2013 to Jan. 4 2014. He says staffwill be working with pool users to informthem well in advance of the closure and as-sist them in finding another pool of theirchoosing to use over this time period.

Tom Perry, a regular user of Lord ByngPool who was most vocal about the closurelast summer, had been encouraging swim-mers to call and email the park board aboutkeeping the pool open. Perry was delight-ed to read about the board’s decision in anemail from Loke.

“It’s encouraging to see that the Vancou-ver Parks Board recognizes the input fromnumerous letters and phone calls regard-ing the future of the Lord Byng Pool,” Per-ry wrote in part in an email to the Courierand to other community members. “It’s notevery day we see such a nice evidence ofdemocracy in action.”

Pete Fry (left), chair of the Strathcona Residents Association, Devon Hawes and KathleenStormont (holding daughter Charlotte Elvidge) are holding a rally April 1 to demand moreinformation from the city about the Georgia Street viaduct removal plan.

TANYAHILLContributing writer

The chair of the Strathcona Resi-dents’ Association says the city’splan to tear down the GeorgiaStreet viaduct could be a great

thing if done right, but he doesn’t think thecity has a good enough plan.

Pete Fry doesn’t believe the city is be-ing transparent about development plansfor the area east of Gore Avenue and hasplanned a protest rally for Monday.

“It’s reckless to remove the viaducts with-out a plan east of Gore,” Fry said.

The rally by the SRA will be held AprilFool’s Day on Hawks Street at Prior. The cityis “playing the residents of Strathcona likea fool,” Fry said explaining why the rally isscheduled for April 1.

The city presented a proposal last monthincluding traffic calming along Prior, butFry and other Strathcona residents left themeeting disappointed because of the ab-sence of a more comprehensive plan.

Fry sent a letter to the mayor and councilFeb. 26 outlining immediate actions theywant taken before they join the Ray-CamCo-op and Strathcona BIA in agreeing withthe removal of the viaducts.

The demands in the letter include a 30-kilometre speed limit on Prior Street alongStrathcona Park and reducing Prior to atwo-lane road with a separated bike lane.

The increasing speed of gentrificationin Strathcona and Chinatown have manypeople suspicious of the city’s plans to rede-velop and connect a new expanded six-lanePacific Boulevard to Prior Street. Housingprices along Prior are expected to skyrocket

in the next few years coinciding with theviaduct removal plan.

Prior Street traffic and congestion havebeen a thorn in the neighbourhood’s sidefor years. The four-lane road has had itsfair share of accidents including a car thatsmashed into a house in February.

Fry is critical of the city for “dumping high-way traffic into residential neighbourhoods.”

Vision Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs sayswhat will happen east of Gore is a work inprogress. “The SRA is demanding that deci-sions made immediately,” Meggs said. “Wehave to keep in mind this will open up enor-mous possibilities. It will expand park landand heal the break on Main street.”

The fate of Cottonwood CommunityGardens is in the mix of heated issues sur-rounding the city’s eastern core strategy be-cause of the possibility of widening MalkinAvenue where the garden is located.

The once toxic dump has been turned intoa thriving food growing area.

Oliver Kellhammer, founder of Cotton-wood Gardens, said the SRA wants “us tosupport them to widen Malkin Avenue wherethe garden is located, and we can’t do that.”

Kellhammer said “the SRA have becomevery politicized around this particular issue,this traffic calming agenda. They want us totake a stand and that is not our mandate.”

Widening Malkin Avenue would wipeout a key piece of ecological infrastructure,Kellhammer said. He said Cottonwood’s po-sition “is not up for negotiation and neverwill be.”

Kellhammer said he was told by a citystaffer that the city would not touch theCottonwood site.

Alack of oversightover nearly $100million worth ofhealth research

funds at the VancouverCoastal Health Authorityand the University of BritishColumbia could bring a riskof fraud and losses.

Those were the resultsof an October 2012 reportby the VCH’s internal au-dit branch, obtained by theCourier under the freedomof information law.

“There is a lack of finan-cial management frame-work surrounding researchaccounts at VCH,” states thereport. “This situation pres-ents a high-risk exposure tothe VCH Board and Man-agement. The risks includefinancial loss due to misuseof research funds, fraud, un-clear ownership of funds orliabilities for legal purposesand negative publicity.”

These problems were as-signed to the High Priorityred category, that is, “an is-sue that could have a signifi-cant impact and should becorrected immediately.”

Two concerns noted arethat the VCH-UBC researchagreement has not been up-dated since 2003, and thatthere is “increased risk ofresearch staff double dip-ping and being paid by UBCand VCH.” As well, financialmanagement of research ac-counts is decentralized withlittle or no reporting to thechief financial officer, andaccountability to the VCHboard is also unclear.

In response, Dr. PatrickO’Connor, VCH vice-presi-dent of medicine qualityand safety, told the Courierthat VCH’s Research Insti-tute has hired a full-time fi-nancial officer who is work-ing to resolve the problems.The audit set a target datefor July 2013.

The VCHRI — which part-ners with the University ofB.C.’s medicine faculty — re-ceived $98.6 million in re-search funding in 2011/12.About 80 per cent of thefunds are managed by UBCand 20 per cent by VCH,which enables over 600 in-vestigators and trainees toconduct health research inmany fields ranging fromcancer and brain research to

asthma and diabetes. About60 per cent of the funds comefrom government, 28 per centfrom non-profit entities, and12 per cent from industry.

The authors also foundthat the Vancouver Pros-trate Centre (which reportsto VCH and UBC) charged$260,000 in CIBC creditcard expenses in 2011/12— including restaurant andalcohol bills — but some

with no documentation,contrary to VCH policy. UBCwill sometimes cover thecost of entertaining profes-sors, speakers and donorswith meals that can includealcohol but the sums mustbe reasonable and cannotbe charged by staffers.

The audit reported “in-adequate controls overcheque requisitions andaccounts.” In one recent

event, John Mwotassubi,the former financial man-ager of UBC’s pediatrics de-partment, was sentenced in2012 to two years of housearrest for stealing morethan $450,000 in a chequescheme. He was caught in2010 when UBC installed anew program designed todetect employee fraud. Dr.O’Connor said he is not veryfamiliar with the Mwotas-

subi case, but generally,“writing fraudulent chequesis a risk that applies to re-search and can be consid-ered part of the implicationsidentified in the report.”

Eight lines of the audit’srecommendations wereblanked out under the FOIlaw’s exemptions of policyadvice (section 13) and fi-nancial harm (section 17).

ANew Democratic Party can-didate knocked on MartynBrown’s door the other day.

In the old days, that wouldbe the equivalent of a little Ewok meet-ing up with Darth Vader. The old Mar-tyn Brown would have lasered him upone side and down the other.

But Martyn Brown 2.0 — who rolled outlast summer and has been going strongever since — is a completely different per-son. In Brown’s telling of the encounter— in a newspaper column he has beenwriting regularly — the NDPer “seemedlike a fine individual, earnest and obvi-ously deeply motivated to make a positive difference in public office.”

Elsewhere in the “In Praise of Public Service” piece, he mentioned spe-cific New Democrats in favourable terms. There are B.C. Liberals who lit-erally cannot believe their eyes when they read Brown these days, andcompare him to the ruthless partisan operator he was for most of his pre-vious life.

What happened to the guy who once chewed out a bunch of young Lib-eral staff members for being too friendly with their NDP counterparts?What happened to the boss who left the impression they’d be fired if theydidn’t stop fraternizing with the enemy? Is this the same guy who onceengineered a dismissal of a new government hire because of NDP links?

That was all part of the hard-driving persona that made him so success-ful over more than 20 years in politics. He first made a name for himselfin the early 1990s as the Social Credit caucus research director, in chargeof finding mud to sling at the NDP government during question period.Brown was the last person out the door when the Socred caucus finallycollapsed, moving over to the B.C. Reform Party as a caucus worker, strat-egist and spokesman.

He did a spell later with a citizens group fighting aboriginal title claims.It wanted to force a referendum on the Nisga’a Treaty. Then he signed upwith the B.C. Liberals and became then-Opposition leader Gordon Camp-bell’s top adviser. He retained the title when they won the 2001 electionand held it 13 years, almost to the end. He parachuted into a deputy min-ister’s gig shortly before Campbell announced his resignation. He was dis-missed when Christy Clark became premier. Brown walked out the doorwith a $400,000 severance and a lifetime of memories about how to playhardball politics.

The striking thing is that he has been renouncing his inner Dick Cheneyever since. Brown is the first to acknowledge the “glaring contradiction”between how he talks the talk and how he used to walk the walk. He hascalled himself a take-no-prisoners partisan who learned the benefits of amilder approach too late in his career. All this would just be an interest-ing tale of one person’s conversion in how they think privately about poli-tics. But it’s having a public impact, too. He wrote an e-book about a newway of doing politics and has been doing various media gigs on the sametheme. It’s clear that he has renounced the B.C. Liberals as well.

Brown is now a leading critic of the party he used to live for — “boast-ful blasts, brave smiles and hot air.” He is dismissive of Clark’s approachto most issues. He has cast a favourable eye over NDP leader Adrian Dix’sgeneral approach. All of which drives the B.C. Liberals to distraction— privately. Some Liberal cabinet ministers were astounded to read theideas about openness and civility, given their memory of the man who ispromoting them.

One of the milder Liberals promoted a moderate course a few yearsago in a meeting and was emphatically shot down by Brown, only to findhim now espousing the same idea publicly. The only thing he seems to behard-line about now is all the mistakes Clark is making.

It does them no good to have the former backroom boy sneering at theirapproach — which used to be his approach — from the op-ed pages andradio studios. The conversion appears to be sincere. But it’s hard to stom-ach for people who remember his fervent commitment to playing roughnot so long ago. If he decides he wants to practise what he is now preach-ing, it will be interesting to see where he lands in the new landscape afterthe May election. lleyne@timescolonist.com

WEWANT YOUROPINIONHate it or love it? We want to know... really, we do!Reach us by email: editor@vancourier.com

Just don’t askfor life to be fairThis is the kind of story that should

be served as a dietary supple-ment; it’s full of irony.

The Canada School of Pub-lic Service, which trains bureaucrats, isin trouble for breaking its own rules oncontracting.

The CSPS (sample course title: Leader-ship Through Values and Ethics) appar-ently rigged contracts for outside or tem-porary workers.

Now there’s a crackdown, of course, andmaybe some heads will roll, but are weshocked? Not really.

This reminds me of the other story mak-ing the rounds recently about the humility of newly elected Pope Francis I.

We are told that the day after being named the leader of more than abillion Catholics, Francis shunned the “papal limousine” and then headedby more modest vehicle to pay his hotel fee.

This was shocking behaviour. Because why? Please, someone explain tome how a man who has taken vows of poverty refusing to ride in a limo isnot absolutely normal.

I’m not a Catholic, but is there any religious viewpoint from which thephrase “papal limousine” makes sense? Is there also a papal gold-platedbathroom, a papal mitre-shaped swimming pool, a papal high-roller ac-count in Las Vegas?

Then, here in British Columbia, we have both the Liberals and theNDP having trouble discerning exactly what the difference is betweenprivate and party money. The Liberals, who have their hands on the le-vers of power, have been winning the race to blow public money on get-ting re-elected, whether through the pandering ethnic outreach strategyor through the deniable (but odious) ads about the BC Jobs Plan and the

recent budget.All of these things are indi-

cations to me that power cor-rupts, that privilege and luckcome to be seen as rights.

Human beings (definitelyincluding me) are blink-ered and stupid, most of thetime.

I have been known to whineand complain about my lot inlife, about my job, about theweather, about how bacon-flavoured toothpaste is hardto find.

Every now and again, I give myself a smack and repeat the humilitymantra: I am a white, straight male living in the dawn of the 21st century.I am literate, employed and connected to the Internet. The number of peo-ple who have ever, in history, had it as good as me is microscopic.

As author John Scalzi pointed out, being a white, straight male is basi-cally playing life at the lowest difficulty setting.

Most important, it’s undeserved.Those bureaucrats rigging contracts, or those past papal officials who

signed off on the limo, or those politicians who funded their re-electionefforts out of the public till all felt they deserved it.

They’re underappreciated, or they’re holy, or they’re just on the rightside of history, see?

Everyone does this in smaller ways. We worked hard, so we deserve ourhouses and big-screen TVs and vacations. We’re better, somehow, thanthose people in other places who work much, much harder and live inshantytowns. We tell ourselves our station in life isn’t largely the productof luck because that doesn’t bear thinking about.

You think you want things to actually be fair? You think you deserveevery good thing that ever happened to you?

Give your head a shake. The scariest thing you can imagine is a world inwhich we would all be treated with absolute, pitiless fairness.

LEYNEMISSESPOINTONBILL18ANALYSISTo the editor:

Re: “Nurses’ union raid sorepoint for NDP,” March 19.

It’s bad public policy to intro-duce legislation that impactshealth care delivery and the col-lective agreement rights of healthcare workers, without consultingwidely on its consequences.

Unfortunately Les Leyne miss-es this point altogether in hisflawed analysis of Bill 18, whichwas jammed through the leg-islature last week by the B.C.Liberals.

And it echoes the Liberals’feeble explanation for the Bill,which used the results of a raidconducted by the BC Nurses’Union on other unions last yearto defend its eleventh hourlegislation.

But the fact is, Bill 18 has noth-ing to do with union representa-tion, and everything to do witharbitrarily changing the compo-sition of the largest bargainingunits in the health care system.

Those multi-union bargainingassociations were established af-ter several years of consultationinvolving two commissions anddozens of submissions.

That level of consultation was

necessary because bargainingunit composition affects howhealth employers utilize theskills and training of differentclassifications of health staff todeliver care.

And just as important, Bill 18could deprive affected workersof current collective agreementprovisions bargained and ratifiedin good faith.

A 2007 decision of the Su-preme Court of Canada foundthat the B.C. Liberals had pre-viously violated the Charter-protected rights of workers byfailing to engage in meaningfulconsultation before introducinglegislation that impacted theircollective agreements.

By confusing Bill 18 with lastyear’s raid, the B.C. Liberals areshowing they do not understandthe complexity of health caredelivery and their constitutionalobligations — or they just don’tcare.Bonnie Pearson,

PARKRANGERSSHOULDEDUCATEBEFORETICKETINGTo the editor:

Re: “Park Ranger Power —

Central Park,” March 15.Gone are the old days of iden-

tifying problems without identi-fying solutions.

Park rangers who hand outtickets to owners of off-leashdogs will be seen as “punishing”if rangers are not able to “edu-cate” dog owners about areaswhere dogs can run off-leash.

If you live in Marpole, suchplaces do not exist contrary tothe city’s recommendation thatsuch places should be “conve-niently located.”

Park board commissioner Aar-on Jasper says, “No one shouldfeel intimidated (to enjoy theirparks and fields in a safe, peace-ful way)”.

Yet when one person in afenced tennis court can chaseaway the needs of many of dog-owners trying to socialize andexercise their dogs by threaten-ing to call the city, intimidationis exactly what they feel.

Hopefully by the fall, Jasperwill not only be arming his parkrangers with tickets, but alsowith a list of areas identifyingwhere law-breaking dog-ownersin Marpole can legally exercisetheir dogs in a place “conve-niently located” to them. Givethese guys a break.Wendy Hallinan,Vancouver

MIKEHOWELLStaff writer

A39-year-old NewZealand man whoentered Canadaillegally under a

pseudonym is facing eightcharges in connection with aMarch 4 violent assault on aVancouver sex trade workerwho escaped her attacker byjumping from a moving van.

Michael Edward Farleyis also facing a deportationorder for being in Canada il-legally for two years and us-ing the name Robert JamesClarke while he worked as ahandyman with a companyin the Lower Mainland.

“We’re open to the pos-sibility that there could beother incidents, we’re active-ly looking into that at thistime,” said Insp. LaurenceRankin of the VancouverPolice Department’s majorcrimes section at a press con-ference Friday.

Vancouver police arrestedFarley March 9 in Richmondon behalf of the Canada Bor-der Services Agency, wholearned Farley was in thecountry illegally.

At the time, police con-sidered Farley “a person of

interest” in the assault case.Two days after the arrest,police released surveillancevideo of a white van believedto have been used by the sus-pect and a composite draw-ing of the man.

While in custody of theborder services agency, Far-ley went before the Immigra-tion and Refugee Board ofCanada for a hearing and wasdeemed inadmissible to Can-ada, according to StefanieWudel, a spokesperson withthe border services agency.

“He was issued a depor-tation order which will beenforced once his criminalmatters are concluded,” saidWudel,notingFarleyusedfalsedocuments to enter Canada.

On Thursday, police tookFarley from the custody ofthe border services agencyand successfully recom-mended eight chargesagainst him in connectionwith the assault of a 42-year-old sex trade worker.Police also seized Farley’svan.

Charges against Farley in-clude aggravated sexual as-sault, kidnapping, choking,administering a noxious sub-stance and uttering threats.

New Zealand police and

Interpol assisted in the in-vestigation. Vancouver po-lice wouldn’t comment onwhether Farley had any deal-ings with police in his home

country but acknowledgedinvestigators checked hisbackground.

A Michael Edward Farleyis listed on the New Zealand

Police’s website as wantedby Palmerston North Police.The website doesn’t indicatethe type of crimes but saysFarley has three warrants for“breaching home detentionand attempting to pervertthe course of justice.”

Farley is described on thewebsite as having a tattoo ofthe outline of the TasmanianDevil on his upper arm. He islisted as white, 38 years old,five-foot-11 with a mediumbuild. An accompanyingphotograph of Farley showshim with a goatee and bald-ing on top.

When Vancouver police ini-tially released information onthe assault case, the suspectwas described as a white malewith a “tanned complexion,”balding with a moustache orgoatee, and possibly with anAustralian accent.

Vancouver police said Far-ley had a relationship whilein Canada and spent sometime in the United States.But Sgt. Ryan Kenny, leadinvestigator in the case, saidpolice “could indicate no sin-ister purpose for his arrivalin British Columbia.”

The case against Farleydates back to the early eve-ning of March 4 when a man

in a van picked up a sex tradeworker in the DowntownEastside and drove her to asecluded area.

Police said the man tied upthe woman and beat her. Itwasn’t until she was seen be-ing dragged and then jump-ing from a white van nearClark Drive and 13th Avenuethat police were notified vianumerous 9-1-1 calls fromwitnesses.

The woman suffered headinjuries and serious abra-sions and spent several daysin the hospital. She has sincebeen discharged and is re-covering at home.

“If it weren’t for her cour-age to come forward, wewouldn’t be here today,” saidRankin, who also acknowl-edged tips from the publicassisted in the investigation.

News of the arrest waswelcomed by leaders oforganizations that workwith sex trade workers andwomen, including the Bat-tered Women’s SupportServices and WISH drop-incentre for sex trade work-ers.

“We now have a sense thatwhen women in the Down-town Eastside experienceviolence, that the violencewill be taken seriously,” saidAngela Marie MacDougall,the executive director of Bat-tered Women’s Support Ser-vices. “Women in the neigh-bourhood need to know thatwhen they experience vio-lence, that the system — inthis case, the Vancouver Po-lice Department — will careand will follow through.”

MacDougall and KateGibson of WISH praised thevictim of the attack for hercourage in helping policewith the investigation andbelieving it would lead to anarrest.

“I’m sure that so muchof the success of this inves-tigation is because of [thevictim’s] relationship withthe police and her willing-ness to come forward,” saidGibson, who also praisedpolice for how quickly an ar-rest was made. “Our variousorganizations want to sendthat message that men can’tcome here to do violence.This arrest really sends thatclear message.”

TIDY SUMMLYFile this one under typical gripes of old, bit-ter newspaper employees.

According to the New York Times, a 17-year-old British dude who still has a year and a halfleft of high school just sold the news readingapp he invented to Yahoo for an estimated $30million. The app in question uses an algorithmthat takes long-form stories and articles fromnewspapers and magazines and shortens theminto bite-sized 400-character snippets for read-ers using smartphones, presumably so theywon’t be too distracted while playing AngryBirds, taking selfy photos or tweeting about theOMG long lineup at Starbucks #epicfail.

To make matters worse, Nick D’Aloisio, theprogramming wiz behind the app, which isappropriately called Summly — cuz spellingout real words is lame and too time consum-ing — founded the company when he was just15 and has received financial backing fromsuch unlikely investors as Yoko Ono and Ash-ton Kutcher. If memory serves, when Kudos& Kvetches was 15 we were starting to ex-periment with Rockaberry Cooler and nearlyfailing math class while writing crude lyricsto Van Halen’s “Panama,” which we cleverlychanged to “Hairy Palm.”

As with most popular web innovations thatYahoo acquires and subsequently makes worse(we’re looking at you, Flickr), the tech giant (?)plans to shut down Summly so it can incorpo-rate the technology into Yahoo news products.

So just to reiterate, a 17-year-old British kid,

along with investor Ashton Kutcher, are nowmillions of dollars richer because of an app thatturns newspaper articles into 400 characterinfo-nuggets so smartphone users don’t haveto read so much. Or in the words of Summly:“Teenaged yahoo wizzes on Ashton Kutcher for$30-million computer called #hairypalm.”

ALL’S FAIR IN PUBS AND BEERFor some reason we found ourselves at the Fair-view Pub the other day. Not that it’s a horribleplace by any means. It’s clean and comfortableenough. But it’s a pretty average, ambition-less bar that refuses to swing above its weightclass… except when it comes to beer prices.

We realize in a land of high-priced real estate,booze is rarely cheap, so we’re always preparedfor a little sticker shock. But when we pulled outa $20 bill expecting a couple dollars change on asmall-lookingpitcherofFarmhandAleandweresubsequentlytoldthepricewasactually$24,wewere a little taken aback. We’ve consumed ourshare of beer in this town at different locations,and we don’t think we’ve ever paid anythingclose to $24 for a pitcher. This was a beer fromVictoria, after all — not some import brewed insecret by magical wood nymphs. Made of wa-ter, malt, hops and yeast — not Tahitian rain,ambergris and panda tears. And it wasn’t somechicnightclubwithalineupdowntheblock—itwas the Fairview Pub located on a personality-challenged stretch of West Broadway. But didwe question the price of our beer out loud, com-plain or take a stand and walk away? No. Wepulled out a $5 bill and let the bartender keepthe change. While we may be cheap and passiveaggressively whiny, we are woefully spinelesswhen it comes to the cost of living in this city.

2Pianos 4 Hands. Got it: two guys,four hands, two pianos. But TedDykstra and Richard Greenblatt areso good, each one of them could do

a solo show that might be called 2 Hands 4Pianos — but why would they? A couple ofCanadians who co-wrote this show back in1990, Dykstra and Greenblatt have such agreat time together, why wouldn’t you putboth of them on stage at the same time?

Anyone who has ever taken piano lessonscan relate to this show. Judging from the laugh-ter of recognition from the audience, I suspectthat would be a large number of opening night-ers. Who didn’t fib to their weary piano teacherduring a piano lesson, “Yes, I practised everysingle day.” Or who didn’t whine, “It soundeda lot better at home.” Or shrieked in protestduring a gruelling piano exam, “Why do theymake us do this?” What piano teacher hasn’twanted to interrupt a tedious lesson for “a cupof tea and a little lie down”? And what parenthasn’t hollered that the lessons are “a waste ofyour time and my money”?

But these two make it so much more funthan it really was and, of course, the musicis wonderful once “Teddy” and “Richie” getpast playing — badly — scales. Portrayingthemselves as youngsters, Greenblatt andDykstra sprawl at the bench, make faces,squirm and convince us entirely that they arereluctant little boys stuck at the piano whileall their friends are outside playing hockey.

As they become adolescents, we see thembattering each other on the piano benchduring duet practice and, later, at the Ki-wanis Festival — along with 67 other pairsplaying the same song — one of them getsstage fright leaving the other to play bothparts. Which he enthusiastically does.

While Dykstra and Greenblatt recognizedin their teens that they were never going tobe “Vlad” (Horowitz), they did come to un-derstand they were the best piano playersnot in the world, not in the country or city,but definitely in the neighbourhood.

The piano performances are wonderfuland include Bach’s Concerto in D Minor, 1stMovement, Mozart’s Sonata for One Piano,Four Hands in D Major, 1st Movement, andChopin’s Ballade No. 2 in F Major. But what2 Pianos 4 Hands clearly shows is the commit-ment on the part of music students, their par-ents and their long-suffering teachers to reachexcellence. And, even more to the point, whenexcellence is not enough, what next?

Greenblatt and Dykstra have performedthis show together more than 900 times inCanada, the U.S., U.K., Japan, Australia,Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Africa andbeyond. The amazing thing is how fresh it stillis. Each punchline sounds like the first time.Each howl of outrage against Dad feels new.Each rejection looks as if it just happened.

There’s the music and then there’s Dykstraand Greenblatt whom we come to love over thecourse of the evening. What’s not to love? Theyopen their hearts to us and invite us in. They re-mind us of the fantastic pleasure we got, if wewere ever music students, at finally mastering apiece of music. And they bring back to most ofus the day we had to agree with Dad or Momwe were wasting our time and their money if wethought we were going to be concert pianists.

ProducedbyMarquisEntertainmentInc.andTalking Fingers Inc., there’s no sex, no drugs,no obscenity, no violence. Pure delight. And ifyou applaud long enough, they’ll reward youwith a piece so serene, so calming that you’llthink you’ve died and gone to heaven.

arts&entertainmentBentall gets blood on his hands for Dylan do-overSAMSMITHContributing writer

Juno Award winning roots musicianBarney Bentall is set to perform are-imagining of Bob Dylan’s classicalbum Blood on the Tracks March

27 at Electric Owl as part of the Black HenConcert Series.

Not to be confused with a cover of thealbum, a re-imagining allows some cre-

ative licence for Bentall, along with Van-couver-based musicians Steve Dawson andthe Black Hen House Band, to add some oftheir own personal flair.

Or, as Bentall says, an excuse if the showtakes a turn for the worse

“We might just be trying to give ourselvesa way out if we drive her off the rails andcrash and burn!” Bentall wrote in an emailinterview from Chile. “The performancethen becomes a metaphor.”

Bentall describes his take on Dylan’s1975 album not so much a challenge,but a learning process for him in his ownquest to find his voice. Even if he is aseasoned and accomplished artist, he be-lieves he is always learning and evolvinghis music.

“It takes a long time to find your ownvoice. Hell, I’m still finding mine,”Bentall said. “I think Bob Dylan foundhis voice, strength and direction early

in the game and had, and continuesto have, a significant impact on theworld.”

Most known for his work in his bandBarney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts,Bentall describes Bob Dylan as a major in-fluence on him.

He only wishes to honour the legend’sbody of work, even if it is a departure fromhis usual style.

Continued from page 18“I’m an unworthy disciple of this great

work of art and I’m hoping that we pull offthe caper and do it a little bit of justice,” hesaid.

Bentall has been active in music formore than 30 years and in that time hasreleased three independent and sevenstudio albums.

His work with the Legendary Heartsproved to be his most commercially suc-

cessful venture, but that hasn’t stopped himfrom pursuing his own solo career, evenafter a six-year hiatus that began in 2000when the now-57-year-old settled on aranch in the Cariboo region of B.C.

His own son, Dustin Bentall, has taken offas a professional musician in his own right.Dustin’s self-described country/psychedel-ic/rock is quality music, Barney says. Andsomething he looks forward to hearing fora long time.

“It’s great to watch Dustin out there work-ing hard and putting out some really finemusic,” Bentall said. “I’m really proud ofwhat he’s doing and it’s good to know I’ll bewell entertained in the old folks home!”

Roots musician hopes to stay on track

communityEaster Lilies can bring added colour to patios

As we approach Easter, pots of fra-grant, pure white Easter Liliesare being offered for sale. They’relovely plants to give or to receive

— and one of the nicest things about themis their tendency to flower again in fall.

This can happen in coastal gardens ifthey’re fed after blooming and planteddeeply outside in a warm and very shelteredspot. A surer plan is to plant the Easter Lilyin a larger pot and treat it as a patio plant,which is brought in during the winter.

There are a few hybrids between the Eas-ter Lily and Asiatic lilies. These are gener-ally strong-stemmed and hardy outside insouthwest B.C. One of these, the Courierlily, is reputed to be exceptionally vigorous.

It’s the Asiatic lilies that flower earliest,usually in June, with starry flowers thatface upwards and have little discernible fra-grance. The double ones, which include thebeautiful candy-pink Elodie are pollen-free.

Container gardeners would like thecompact series of Asiatic lilies which haveheights ranging from 35 to 50 centimetres(14 to 20 inches). One of these, Tiny DoubleYou, is a standout with its fiery orange pet-als.

Another variation in Asiatics are theTango lilies where petals are covered withheavy spotting.

One of the most popular lilies of all timeis the usually white-flowered Regale Lilyoriginally from dry cliffs in western China,which are bitterly cold and windswept inwinter and hot and humid in summer. Re-gales are easy from seed. Gardeners whoexperiment with letting a seedhead dry inplace and scattering the contents can pro-duce many seedling lilies.

The oriental lilies are among the mostspectacular with enormous trumpets whichcan perfume a whole garden. Some canstretch five feet tall (1.75m). Two of themost popular are the white Casablanca andthe red and white Stargazer.

The similar Aurelian trumpet hybridscan grow to about two metres and pro-duce flowers that include white, cream,gold or pink.

A lily once reputed to have healing pow-

ers is the Madonna Lily (Lillium candidum)which is pure white, tall, and needs to beplanted shallowly in fall. Leaves of thislime-lover were once placed upon burns toheal them.

Tiger lilies were also once believed to bea useful medicine and food. These can bepropagated by planting the bulbils whichform between leaves and stem.

Unlike other lilies, the Martagons (TurksCap lilies) are shade-tolerant and some-what moisture-tolerant. When grown inwet climates, they thrive under trees withthirsty roots which ensure the lilies haverelatively good drainage. Martagons makelarge clumps over the years.

Lillies need to be planted immediatelywhen bought because bulbs dry out fast.They need good drainage (a raised bed inclay gardens) and rich feeding with bone-meal, compost or balanced fertilizer. Mulch-ing helps conserve moisture.

Most lilies emerge very late in spring.Marking the spot where you plant themavoids sad accidents.

• News flash: The Alpine Garden Clubspring show and sale takes place noon to4 p.m. April 6 in the VanDusen GardenFloral Hall, 5251 Oak St., (at 37th Ave).Free admission. Sales are cash or chequeonly.

Offerings will include choice alpines,woodlanders, shrubs, trees and perennialsfrom club members and some small B.C.nurseries.

Project workbookDESIGNER TIPS FOR A CHEAP ‘N CHEERY HOME MAKEOVER

Would you like to make yourhome look designer-created, without

the designer cost? You cantransform many areas inthe house on a budgetwith these five simpletips from award-winninginterior decorator, LauraStein. Here’s a snapshot:

COLOUR: Changing thecolour of your walls is a budget-friendly way to breathe life into a tiredspace. For a clean, contemporary look,paint the walls and trim all the samecolour. For a more traditional lookchoose a contrasting colour for your trim.Keep in mind, there is no rule that saystrim has to be white.

TEXTURE: Layer in texture and patternsby installing wallpaper. It creates asense of sophisticated warmth and isa great way to hide imperfect walls. Ifyou only want wallpaper on one featurewall, match the background colour ofthe paper to the paint in the rest of theroom.

DETAILS: Adding architectural detail notonly makes a room look polished, it

also adds value to your home.For example, installing

crown moulding and panelmoulding is an inexpensiveway to get a high-end look.

ACCESSORIES: Add afun pop of colour to your

kitchen with vibrant counterappliances. Make your chosen

accent colour really stand out byusing kitchen accessories in the samehue.

UPGRADES: You don’t need a bigrenovation to upgrade an old kitchen.Paint the cabinets and switch out thehardware for a fresh new look. Take it astep further and add some wow-factorlighting or re-do the backsplash withfantastic mosaic tile. To help keep yourbacksplash and fixtures looking like new,apply a multipurpose cream cleaner, likeVim, to an old toothbrush to thoroughlyclean all hard-to-reach crevices.

On the fencePROPERTY PERIMETERS THAT MAKE HOMES STAND OUT

Before you start yourfencing project,here are a few tips

to help you save time andcost overruns, courtesythe experts at WindsorPlywood.

The hardest part of fencebuilding is digging theholes; after that, thestructure takes shapequickly. Besides a rentedposthole digger, you’ll

need only a circular sawand basic carpentry tools.Designs vary widely,but just about all fencesconsist of the same basicelements:

A series of posts are sunkinto the ground, connectedby top and bottom rails.Before proceeding, checkcommunity building andzoning codes. Manyspecify maximum fence

height, distances you canbuild from property linesand the street, and eventhe materials you can andcan’t use. (i.e. PressureTreated Lumber - If youare using wood that hasbeen treated with woodpreservatives, properfasteners and hardwaremust be used.)

Call before you dig. It’simportant to know what

lies underground beforedigging or using boringequipment. Check withyour utility providers(hydro, gas, cable) tolocate buried facilities.

Once you’ve chosen adesign and establisheda location, stake out andmeasure the site. Plotout the post spacing forthe most efficient use oflumber. Six or seven footspans usually work well;never set privacy-fenceposts more than eightfeet apart.

If you are building yourfence on a slope, planto step the fence downthe hill, setting eachsection lower than the onepreceding it. Only if theslope is slight, and thefence design won’t suffer,should you follow thecontour.

For complete fence-buildingadvice, visit Vancouver’sWindsor Plywood locationat 1581 West 7th Ave.;tel: 604-738-9717; web:windsorplywood.com.

The big question is, shouldyou dip into your RRSP to buy a home?

The Home Buyer’s Plan is a registeredgovernment plan that basically lets first-

time home buyers withdraw up to $25,000from their RRSPs in a calendaryear to buy or build a qualifyinghome. That amount will not beincluded in your income andtax will not be withheld onthe withdrawal. So for acouple, each with at least$25,000 in their separateRRSPs, that could mean asmuch as an extra $50,000to tack on to a downpayment.

To qualify for the HBP, you have to be afirst-time home buyer and aCanadian resident; you haveto move into the home within

a year; and, you have torepay your RRSP within15 years. There aremany other rules thatapply, so check out

the Home Buyer’s Planon the Canada Revenue

Agency website (www.cra-arc.gc.ca) for more information.

Is it worth it? The downside of the HomeBuyer’s Plan is that you’re taking moneyout of your RRSP, so it will no longer begrowing and compounding within theplan on a tax-sheltered basis. However,the offset is that you’re using it topurchase residential real estate. And anyrealized gain in the value of your propertywhen you sell is covered by the PrincipalResidence Exemption, so you won’t paytax on any capital gain on your homewhen you sell.

Residential real estate, especially inCanada’s larger urban markets, hashistorically been a good investment,

at least keeping pace with the rate ofinflation, and often exceeding it by awide margin. So in the investment sense,if you choose the right home in the rightlocation, anything you give up in yourRRSP in terms of growth, you’re likely tomake up in the increase in value of yourreal estate.

In general, a HBP is a good source ofcash for a down payment on a first home.You’re essentially borrowing from yourself.But everyone’s situation is different inthe specifics, and the Home Buyer’s Plancan be complicated. So getting someobjective advice from a qualified financialplanner is a good idea. They will crunchthe numbers for you and can let you knowpretty quickly whether an HBP withdrawalfrom your RRSP makes sense.

For some reason, these rarefine spring days remind me of

spring days in Halifax, where I wasstationed during World War II as adriver. I lied about my age when Ijoined the army (Canadian Womens’Army Corps) in 1944, at 17.

I was then sent to Kitchener, Ont.for six weeks of basic training. FromKitchener I went to WoodstockOnt., to a military driving schoolin the winter, and learned to driveeverything but motorcycles, withsnow flying everywhere.

Then I was drafted to Halifax toCathedral Barracks, opposite theVictoria General Hospital, andworked out of Glacis Barracksat the foot of Citadel Hill, myfavourite spot. I drove a jeep(‘44 Willy’s convertible, we calledthem), marked 61-719, and went allover Nova Scotia - to the Germanprisoner-of-war camp in Debert andfrom the south (Yarmouth) to thenorth (Glace Bay and Cape Breton),driving N.C.O.’s around to variousarmy camps.

I can clearly recall the pot-holed

roads in the north- Shubenacadie,Stewiac and UpperMusquodoboit,which wreckedmy lower back(for which DVApays me a smallpension.)

As the war drewto a close in 1945,we drivers went toPier 21 to meet thereturning Canadiantroops from overseas.We took the Nova Scotians, whoweren’t so badly wounded as torequire an ambulance, to theirhomes all over the province. Andyes, those roads were bad!

Once the carburetor fell off themotor, but I screwed it back on.Later, I drove a staff car with armyofficers aboard my 72-335 car. Onetime in a blizzard with a bus behind(which couldn’t pass me), I spun offthe highway and landed in a ditchon my back bumper. Luckily, theofficers were slightly inebriated andstayed comfortably in the back seat.

Off days were spent in the LegionCanteen, with me whistling poptunes for Dolly Pope to play onthe piano. We were demobilizedin June, 1946, in St. Mary’s Priory,Vancouver. Then, still in uniform,we hitchhiked to Mexico and back,staying for free in U.S. women’sarmy barracks and flying back toSeattle in a commodore’s smallplane. Those were the days!

Healthy livingTICK, TOCK: SENIORS ON THE MOVE

Canadians are livinglonger on average.But research shows

there’s a 10-year gapbetween how long welive, and how long welive in health. This gapis largely due to heartdisease, stroke and otherchronic conditions.

We know that nine in 10Canadians have at leastone risk factor for heartdisease and stroke, butdid you know that nearlyfour in 10 have three ormore risk factors?

To reduce that 10-yeargap, the Heart and StrokeFoundation recommendsbeing physically active,eating well, being smoke-free, reducing stressand avoiding excessivedrinking.

GET MOVING TOMAKE HEALTH LASTPhysical activity can bea lifesaver – literally.

Inactivity can shave overtwo years off a person’sexpected lifespan andresults in nearly fourquality years of life lost.

To start on the path toimproving both the quality– and the quantity – ofyour lifespan, take thesetips to heart:

• FIND YOUR SWEETSPOT: Not a gym rat? Nota problem: any activity canhave a positive impact,including gardening,dancing and more.

• MIX IT UP: Mix andmatch your activities,varying your level ofintensity. Do an hour ofyard work one day, bikewith the kids the next andhead to a yoga class theday after that.

• HANG 10: Short ontime? Exercise in bouts of10 minutes. For example,

a quick stroll burns 47calories.

• DO THE HOMESTRETCH: Find a spaceat home for yoga poses,chair squats and stretches.

• GET INTO CHILD’SPLAY: Have fun andrediscover your youth.Throw a Frisbee (gently),go for a swim or paddle acanoe.

• WALK THE SIDELINES:Don’t just watch yourgrandkids on the field.Get up and walk around.

• STEP IT UP: In daytime,get off the bus or skytraina stop early, or park afew blocks from yourappointments and walkthe rest.

• PURSUE ARTISTICENDEAVOURS: Takeyour easel out to the parkand paint a landscapeon canvas. Gather somefriends around the piano,pick out some songs, workyour diaphragm and singto your heart’s content.

NEWRUGBYCENTREPARTOF$4MILLIONINVESTMENTMEGANSTEWARTStaff writer

Nearly three years ago,Spence McTavish gave theCourier a tour of the rugbyclubhouse at the University

of B.C., scoffing at the sparse cinder-block hut and its meager, almost rus-tic interior.

What could an elite program do withsuch hopeless resources? he asked.

What could the alumni be proud ofand why would young talent be drawnto the Thunderbirds, he wondered?

The answer came as a $2.5-millioninvestment in a new clubhouse, of-fices, alumni lounge and bleachersfor 300 at the Gerald McGavin RugbyCentre overlooking Thunderbird Park.Private donors, including alumni andformer players, donated $1.6 million.

The centre opened in January and isnamed for a 1960 commerce graduateand member of the B.C. rugby hall offame, Gerald McGavin, who donated$1 million to the project. He wanted toelevate the rugby program, he said.

The B.C. Rugby Union also contrib-uted $200,000 and will use the facilityand fields for development and high-performance programs for at least thenext decade. According to the univer-sity, the rugby centre is the first part ofa $4-million investment to “ensure theresurgence of first-class rugby at UBC.”

A far cry from the retired cementclubhouse, the new rugby centre isintented to draw alumni to games andyoung talent to both the men’s andwomen’s teams.

“This thing started two years, sevenmonths and 28 days ago,” McTavishsaid at the beginning of the year whenthe new rugby centre opened. Former-ly the head coach of the men’s varsityprogram, McTavish is now the generalmanager.

“I sat down with an alumnus and wetalked about bringing the program toanother level, including a new facil-ity… Peter Bull came on board andpicked up the slack. Andrew Hamiltonis another alumnus. Those two guysand I formed a committee. Peter andAndrew did the lion’s share of the workand one thing led to another.”

WORLD CUP LOSSFor the seventh consecutive year, theCalifornia Golden Bears denied theUBC Thunderbirds the “World Cup,”the prize for winning a two-game rugbyseries and one of the fiercest cross-bor-der collegiate rivalries in North Amer-ica since the Vancouver World newspa-per donated the trophy in 1921.

California beat UBC 38-6 at Thun-derbird Stadium on March 24. The

Tbirds lost the first game 28-18 at Wit-ter Rugby Field in Berkeley on Feb. 16.

UBC scored first on penalty convertfrom Brock Staller to lead 3-0 but athalftime California had eked a slim 9-6 lead.

The second half was a different sto-ry, however. UBC failed to score whileCalifornia added 29 more points.

Under Spence McTavish, the Thun-derbirds are 12-3-2. Their only losseshave come at the hands of the GoldenBears and the Vikes from the Univer-sity of Victoria.

Their next match is at 2:30 p.m.March 29 at the Arthur Lord field infront of the new Gerald McGavin Rug-by Centre at UBC. The Tbirds play theVikes in the second game of the two-game Brian Wightman “Boot” series.

Milan Lucic almost gave up hockey when he wasn’t draft-ed as a minor league player. He was later picked up by theVancouver Giants and won a Memorial Cup with them in2007. The Vancouverite was selected by the Boston Bruinsand with them, as Canucks fans know all too well, won aStanley Cup right here at home in 2011.

A new B.C. Sports Hall of Fame interactive exhibit calledSport in B.C. — Choose Your Path looks at the differentchoices athletes have made at different stages of their ca-reers. In addition to Lucic, the exhibit takes a long and shortview of B.C. athletes, exploring for example, the develop-ment of two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash and Blue Jays thirdbaseman Brett Lawrie, as well as North Vancouver juniortennis player Filip Peliwo and Squamish freestyle skier Ro-salind Groenewoud.

Vancouver soccer star and UBC coach Andrea Neil is in-cluded as is Olympic javelin thrower and Kitsilano graduateLiz Gleadle. The exhibit opened March 26 and will stay openindefinitely.

SPORTSCHOOLOPENSINSEPTEMBERRegistration is now open for Sport School, a no-non-sense name for a new athletic and academic programtargeting student-athletes that will launch at UniversityHill secondary school next September.

The Sport Institute is accepting applications from high-per-formance, multi-sport athletes entering Grades 10 to 12 whohave been identified by their national sport organization.Three similar schools will open in Victoria, Prince George andKelowna in partnership with public school districts.

According to the Sport Institute, which relies on sportscience and medical expertise to support the nation’sOlympic and Paralympic ambitions, the curriculum willprovide academic credits toward graduation in additionto daily physical activity. For more details, contact DanaHenson at 778-217-8057.

JIMMORRISContributing writer

The Vancouver Canucksare facing a new real-ity. For the last severalyears the Canucks have

behaved like a television gameshow host: ready with all theright answers. So far this season,the franchise behind Vancouver’sfavourite winter obsession hasfaced plenty of questions as theCanucks struggle to win moregames than they have lost.

These are different times forthe team that won the Presidents’Trophy in back-to-back seasonsfor the NHL’s best overall recordand came within one game ofwinning the Stanley Cup.

Teams like Minnesota, St.Louis and Los Angeles have im-proved. The compressed sched-ule caused by the lockout leaveslittle time for practise or rest.This has made the season tough-er for players 30 years and olderlike Daniel and Henrik Sedin,Dan Hamhuis, Kevin Bieksa andAlex Burrows.

“It’s an uncommon position forus,” admitted goaltender CorySchneider, one of the Canuckswho has found his game recently.“We’re not used to looking up inthe standings and chasing otherteams. It’s not something we arehappy with. You can talk aboutthe things we are doing well… butat the end of the day we have tofind ways to play to our strengths— right now, with some of our in-juries up front, that’s our defenceand our goaltending.”

On many nights there isn’t muchprettiness to Vancouver’s game.Watching the Canucks used to belike listening to the London Sym-phony Orchestra. They playedwith speed, grace and style. Nowit’s more like hearing a Grade 3

Christmas concert with a lot ofsour notes and little rhythm.

A string of injuries to playerslike Ryan Kesler, David Booth,Manny Malhotra, Zack Kassianand now Dale Weise have forcedthe Canucks to play a grinding,defensive style.

Vancouver has scored twogoals or less in nine of their last12 games. In recent wins overL.A., Phoenix and St. Louis, Sch-neider allowed just five goalson 116 shots. While Schneiderhas been hot, the Canuck powerplay has turned colder than Kev-in Costner’s acting career andis ranked at the bottom of theleague.

“We can’t always be the favou-rites going into buildings,” saidcaptain Henrik Sedin.

“Sometimes you have to playlike an underdog, take what they

give you and don’t give up a wholelot.

“We’re missing a lot of guys.People have to realize where weare. We’re not going to score fouror five goals every night.”

The Canucks showed some lifeby winning all three games ontheir weekend road trip, beatingPhoenix, L.A. and Colorado eachby a single goal. Schneider shutout the Kings.

The battle with Minnesota forfirst place in the Northwest Divi-sion will likely go down to thewire. It’s hard to believe Vancou-ver will miss the playoffs but it’snot an impossibility consideringonly eight points separate thirdfrom 11th place in the competi-tive Western Conference.

Reality sometimes depends onperception. Teams like Calgary,Colorado, Florida and Tampa

Bay would be thrilled to haveVancouver’s record. Criticismcomes from fans who are usedto sipping good champagne andare suddenly served cheap redwine. It leaves a bad taste.

When the Canucks lost six ofeight games, the local villag-ers were prepared to storm thecastle and take the heads ofboth coach Alain Vigneault andgeneral manager Mike Gillis. Afour-game win streak headinginto Tuesday’s meeting with Co-lumbus has calmed the rabblefor now.

Vigneault is doing the bestwith the cards he’s been dealt.After signing a two-year contractextension last summer his joblooks safe for another season atleast. Besides, he can only takeone season at a time.

“Every year is different,” saidVigneault. “You can’t compareone year to another.”

Some blame can be laid on Gil-lis for his stubborn insistence onwaiting for the perfect deal be-fore trading goaltender RobertoLuongo. It’s hard to see Luongomoving before the April 3 tradedeadline.

Next season, when the sal-ary cap drops to an estimatedUS $64 million, even fewerteams might be willing to takeon a US$5.3 million contractthat won’t end until after KimKardashian’s child is in school.(She’s currently pregnant.)

The Canucks still generateenough revenue that Gillis’s jobremains safe.

The Canucks went into this sea-son knowing it wasn’t going to beeasy. They probably didn’t thinkit was going to be this hard.

No easy road to playoffs for Canucks

MEGANSTEWARTStaff writer

Vancouver’s Sean Spooner led the Pa-cific Storm to a national gold medalMarch 24 in a 14-13 victory over twoeastern rival teams that joined forces

to form a single powerhouse.The Storm finished third last season and the

championship win against a stacked team wasa significant accomplishment.

“It is a great feeling to win,” said Spooner,who was named MVP of the playoffs and regu-lar season. He had 52 goals in 14 regular seasongames and added 8 playoff goals. “After havingcomeinthirdlastyear, thiswasourgoalandwewere working towards it the entire season.”

Against the CAMO-Titans drawn from bothMontreal and Ottawa, the host Pacific Storm

entered the match as the No. 1 team in thetwo-year-old National Development PremierLeague, a branch of Water Polo Canada de-signed to identify and develop talent for thenational program. The cross-country leaguehas five teams and intends to grow to eight nextyear.

In the championship game, the Storm andCAMO-Titans changed leads throughout thegame and the largest spread was limited to onlythree goals. The Storm scored 30 seconds intothe game but the CAMO-Titans answered withtwo of their own and maintained a 8-6 lead athalf time. The Storm scored six goals and al-lowed only one to take a 12-9 lead by the timethe fourth quarter started. The Storm addedtwo more goals in the final frame to defeat thevisitors 14-13.

On the cusp of the U-16 and U-18 National

Club Championships scheduled this springin Montreal and Calgary respectively, PacificStorm head coach Nikola Maric said the week-end win was key to building confidence and acompetitive advantage.

“I am very pleased with these young menand with their dedication to the team and toachieving their goals,” he said. “The experiencewe gained should help us in our execution aswe begin the final preparation for the NationalClub Championships.”

Maric was named coach of the year for thesecond consecutive time. The Storm had 13wins and three losses in the regular season.

The Storm’s Daniel Sullivan was named themost valuable goaltender and Sever Topan themost valuable defensive player.

HAY TO LEAD CANADAAT U-18WORLDSThe Vancouver Giants are not head-ed to the Western Hockey Leaguepost-season, but their head coachDon Hay will continue coaching thisspring.

On Monday, Hockey Canadanamed Hay the head coach for TeamCanada at the 2013 World Under-18Championships next month in So-chi, Russia. The tournament takesplace April 18 to 28 in the same citythat will host the 2014 Winter Olym-pics.

“I’m really excited about the op-portunity,” said Hay, 59, who hasbeen at the helm in Vancouver fornine seasons.

He said the chance to coach TeamCanada came his way after the Gi-ants were eliminated from the play-offs. Hay won a gold medal as thehead coach of Canada’s nationaljunior team in 1995 and last yearbrought home a bronze medal fromthe Czech Republic.

“It’s a great honour to stand onthe blue line and sing ‘O Canada’ af-ter you’ve had a big win. It’s a thrillto represent Canada,” he said in aninterview released by the Giants.

From a pool of WHL players elimi-nated from the playoffs, Hay listedtwo Vancouver players as potentialadditions to the U-18 national team.

“Mason Geertsen and JacksonHouck will both have their nameson the depth chart,” he said. “Bothare definitely candidates.”

Hay will be assisted on Canada’sbench by Jody Hull, head coach ofthe Peterborough Petes, and formerNHL player Yves Sarault.

A two-time WHL coach of theyear, Hay has coached three teamsto the Memorial Cup, twice with theKamloops Blazers in 1994 and 1995and then with the Giants in 2007.
