Dry summerputs focus onwater use

[email protected]

Maybe it’s the sound ofthat rhythmic sprinklerhiss in the early hours thatattracts attention: Phtt.Phtt. Phtt.

Or a garden in the midstof a brown landscape that’sa little too lush, a little tooverdant.

But water use — both ourown and our neighbours’— has been very much onpeople’s minds lately.

Barbara Ohl was down atWestVancouver’s AmblesideearlyWednesday morningwhen she noticed thesprinklers in front of theFerry Building. “They hadthree huge big shootingsprinklers,” she said. “Half ofit was going on the road.”

Nearby, close to JohnLawson Park, “You couldsee they’d just watered thelawn,” she said.

Later on, Ohl postedpictures of the offendingwatering to social media.“It was way excessive,” shesaid. “It wasn’t just a lightsprinkling.”

Amanda Burton, wholives in the City of NorthVancouver, also didn’t haveto look far to see what sheconsiders over-the-top wateruse at a nearby apartmentbuilding. “It’s the onlybuilding on the entire blockwith green grass,” she said.

While watering by handwith a spring-loaded hose isstill permitted under Stage 3watering restrictions, Burtonsaid it makes her crazy tosee one of her neighboursstanding with a hose forhours every evening. “She’s

standing out there watering abig Christmas tree,” she said.“It’s things like that that startto bug me.

As our long hot summergets set to resume this week,drought-shaming on theNorth Shore is alive andwell. Brown is the new greenin the Lower Mainland.And the neighbours arepaying attention. Facebooksites have sprung up askingpeople to list addresses of the

It started with a loveof roller skating whilegrowing up in Iran.

Now Carson Grahamgrad Anita Mahinpei iswrapping up two weeksstudying alongsidethe world’s elite at thePerimeter Institute’sInternational Summer

School forYoung Physicistsin Waterloo, Ont.

Mahinpei credits herGrade 6 teacher makingthe link between her hobbyand the contents of herscience textbook.

“Basically, she usedroller skates to explainNewton’s laws and how mypassion for roller skatingwas related to physics,” shesaid. “I found it really cool

how physics could explaineveryday stuff that we do.”

From there, her teachersencouraged her by offeringphysics texts beyond whatthe curriculum required.When she reached Grade9 and moved to Canada,Mahinpei was watchingadvanced lectures onYouTube.

She graduated in theInternational Baccalaureate

program this year with aperfect seven in physics(99 per cent in standardgrading.)

Mahinpei applied forthe annual camp on theadvice of her Grade 12physics teacher, CarsonGraham’s ChristopherBlay.

FOCUS

“grassholes” and “midnighthosers” who flout the ruleswith their water-hoggingways. At the District ofNorthVancouver, staff havebeen logging about 100 callsa day from citizens irateabout excessive watering.

OnTuesday, MetroVancouver banned allsprinkling, stepping uprestrictions on outdoor wateruse in response to a record-breaking drought and fallingreservoir levels.

It’s the first time in 12years the local governmenthas put Stage 3 waterrestrictions in place and thefirst time that’s happenedso early in the summer.And while the five to 10millimetres of rain that fellon Friday — the first sinceJune 2 — was welcome,those responsible for ourregional water system say it’sliterally a drop in the bucket.

Normally, rainfall inMay, June and July is morethan 154 mm, said LisaColdwells, a meteorologistwith Environment Canada.This year, there’s been only16 mm in that same timeperiod. “Even if we add 10mm to that, we’re still in ahuge deficit,” she said.

To recharge the reservoirsit takes closer to 150 mm ofrain.That’s nowhere in thelong-range weather modelsso far, which still predict acontinued hotter and drierthan normal summer.

The North Shore’sCapilano and Seymourreservoirs — along with theCoquitlam — supply waterto about 2.5 million peoplein the Lower Mainland,more than half thepopulation of the province.When it’s full, the Capilanoreservoir holds the equivalentof 13,600 Olympic-sizedswimming pools. But afteralmost three dry months, thereservoirs are draining fast.

OnTuesday, thecombined reservoir levelshad dipped to 69 per cent,and had been dropping at arate of about four per centper week. “We’re seeinglevels that are typical ofwhere we’d be at the endof August,” saidTim Jervis,MetroVancouver’s watermanager.

At Eagle Lake, the mu-nicipal reservoir that supplieshalf ofWestVancouver’swater, a massive pipe snakesthrough baked earth wherethe eastern fringe of the lakehas already been suckeddry, like the backbone of aprehistoric fossil. Bleachedtree stumps dot the shoreand the system’s usual water

intake valve sits high abovethe lake bed.

The lake is three metresbelow what it normally isat this time of year and thedistrict is now pumpingwater from a deeper, floatingpump station in the westernpart of the reservoir. It’s thesame story everywhere, saysPhil Bates,WestVancouver’sacting director of engineeringand transportation, lookingout at the parched shoreline:“This is the drinking waterwe have.”

At the beginning of thesummer, water managers atMetroVancouver pluggedwhat they thought wereworst-case-scenario figuresinto their computer models,using data from one ofthe driest years on record— 1987 — to predict thelikely trickle of water fromsnow melt and high elevationstreams that would flow intothe system.

But this year is worse.Snow pack in the localwatersheds this spring wasless than 10 per cent of thehistorical average, said Jervis.“If you go up there now tothe inflows, there’s virtuallynothing coming into thelakes.”

This week, techniciansopened the valve to oneof the region’s back-upsupplies, the high elevationPalisade Lake, which drainsinto the Capilano.Theregion could also tap intoBurwell Lake and LochLomand, which feed intothe Seymour Reservoir. Butthere are limits. Only half ofPalisade Lake can be drainedwithout risking watersupplies in future years.

During the three-month drought, the LowerMainland has been drawingan average of 1.5-billionlitres a day from thereservoirs — a 50 per centincrease from average winterusage.That’s not a figurethat makes water managershappy.

When sprinkling was stillallowed, a noticeable jump indemand and correspondingdrop in water pressurekicked in around 4 a.m. —when automatic sprinklerswere programmed to comeon — even on days whensprinkling was forbidden.

In the few days the banhas been in effect, it lookslike it’s working: demand hasdropped to below 1.2-billionlitres a day.

As its population hasgrown, so has GreaterVancouver’s water consump-tion. Overall use of a billionlitres a day is more than 25per cent higher than it wasin thirty years ago. About 60per cent of that water is usedresidentially, the rest by busi-ness and industry.

At the height of summer,water use can double. So farthis year, water use on July2 topped the charts, whenthe region dipped into thereservoirs to the tune of 1.7billion litres.

The saving grace for thewater system so far is whileoverall use has grown inrecent decades, per capitawater use has been falling.

In the mid-1980s, beforeconservation dented thepublic mindset, MetroVancouver users flushed,sprinkled and showeredtheir way through 743 litres

per capita daily and almostdouble that in summer.

In contrast, today’saverage per capita water useacross the Lower Mainlandis about 471 litres of water,including business andindustrial uses. Days of peaksummer demand pump thataverage up to 655 litres perperson per day.

Part of the change towater use has come throughregulation — like thoserequiring new buildings toinstall low-flow toilets andsprinkling restrictions, firstadopted in 1992.

Other societal factorshave also played a role.Across the region, fewerpeople live in big houses withbig yards compared to earlierdecades and condo-dwellersdon’t have lawns to water.

In the big picture,the three North Shoremunicipalities take acomparatively small portionof the region’s water.

The City ofVancouver,for instance, uses almost sixtimes the water that’s usedin the District of NorthVancouver — the NorthShore’s biggest water user.

To give a sense of waterhabits in different sizedpopulations, water managersprefer to look at how muchwater is being consumed perperson each day. One often-overlooked detail is thosefigures also contain waterused by industry.While thatwater is separately meteredand paid for, it comes fromthe same water reservoirs aseveryone else’s.

While more than 80 percent ofWestVancouver’swater use is residential, in

the City of NorthVancouver,port industries account forabout 45 per cent of totalwater used. In the District ofNorthVancouver, industrialcompanies like Canexus andErco use about 25 per centof its water.

Those statistics aresomething people like RonSander, vice-president ofmajor projects and environ-ment at NeptuneTerminals,are keenly aware of. “Werecognize that people driveby here and are going ‘I’mbeing told not to water mylawn and you guys are water-ing coal piles,’” he said.

Neptune is one of thoselarge industrial users in theCity of NorthVancouver.The company uses waterprimarily to control dustfrom the coal piles — themost visible use — but alsoto wash down the dry bulksystem when changingbetween different types ofpotash, for instance.

But Sander says thecompany, which employsabout 350 people, is workingto reduce water use.

In 2013, Neptune used1.27 million cubic metresof water and paid morethan $1.1 million for that.In 2014, that number wasdown to 928,000 cubicmetres and costs dropped toabout $912,000.

Part of the way thecompany has achieved thatwas to install systems thatrecycle more of the water.

Two weeks ago, Neptuneturned off a company carwash, which normallyremoves coal and wheat dustfrom the cars of up to 400Neptune and Cargill workers

before they leave the siteeach day.

The company has alsodone some exploratorydrilling on the site to lookinto the feasibility of tappinginto the aquifer.

It’s not just largeindustrial companies that arefalling under the watchfuleyes of citizens.

JoyceTaylor emailed theCity of NorthVancouverafter watching waterbeing sprayed over aPolygon demolition site onEsplanade. “It’s a high use ofwater that really doesn’t havea huge benefit,” she said.

In this case, accordingto a follow-up letter fromcity staff,WorkSafeBCrequired the dust control.Industrial misters do givethe impression of using morewater than they actuallyare, the letter added. Butthe site foreman was told tominimize water use as muchas possible.

Taylor said she’s happyto hear that.While she livesin a condo building wherethe sprinklers have been shutoff, she sometimes questionswhether neighbourhoodwater snitches are targetingthe right people.

“It’s out of proportionwho’s being shamed andwho’s being made to feelbad,” she said.

But the majority of thosedoing the tweeting andouting of neighbours onsocial media clearly don’tagree.

Enforcement by complaintdenounce the neighbour ofa friend who refused to shutoff the sprinkler. Schrecksaid he alerted the city onlyafter his friend — who walksby the sprinkler hissingaway at 5:30 every morning— had been told in less thanpolite terms to “take a hike”when she pointed out thesprinkling ban.

While he agrees that“it doesn’t build a strongcommunity” whenpeople are ratting out theneighbours, Schreck saidanyone who ignores politeadvice deserves what theyget. Schreck added he’s beenwatering his own garden thehard way. “I run around with

a little watering can,” he said.Water managers say

cutting unnecessary outdoorwater use in summer is oneof the easiest and cheapestways governments have tohead off a serious watershortage.

Residential use soarsanywhere between 50 and100 per cent in summermonths — the same timeas heat and lack of rain putpressure on reservoirs. In theDistrict of NorthVancouver,where single-family homesuse about 300 litres of waterper person per day over theyear, about 40 per cent ofthe total residential water usehappens in three summermonths.

“It’s the low-hanging fruit

that we can make immediategains on,” says Gavin Joyce,manager of parks, engineer-ing and facilities for theDistrict of NorthVancouver.“It’s the single biggest thingwe can make a change to.”

All municipalities onthe North Shore enforce

watering restrictions bycomplaint — meaningthey’ll only send a bylawofficer out to investigate ifsomeone calls them.Theyalso tend to give warningsrather than tickets for first-

Dear Editor:In my humble opinion,

pollsters will have difficultyin being accurate in theirforecasts both federally andprovincially. Why?

The term “vote conflict”comes to mind. In theold days we used to votefor whomever we thoughtwould do their best forour community. Now,unfortunately we are forced

to vote for whomever wehope will inflict the leastamount of damage.

The conflict arises fromthe power that the partyleader has over his electedmembers. For example, inWestVancouver, we havea Conservative MP, JohnWeston, who has donean admirable job for hiscommunity. Sadly for him,we have a prime minister

who has ambitions todismantle the democracythat exists in Canada. Untilthis (election) year, he andhis lawyers have foughtveterans in court.When hewas not prime minister, hestated that he would notact the same as Liberalsand appoint senators asfavours. Once in power,he reversed direction. If Ivote for Mr.Weston, I am

in effect voting for Harper— big conflict. If I vote forPamela Goldsmith-Jones,I vote for JustinTrudeau,who is a pale imitation ofhis father. I have not votedLiberal since Paul Martin.The Liberal leaders sincethen have been gifts to theConservatives. Sad to say,Justin appears to utilize hismouth prior to engaging hisbrain. I blame his team for

not correcting that majorfault.

Give us a political systemwhere the leader can bedeposed by his electedofficials — and we solve theconflict both federally andprovincially.

If I do not vote, after 55years of voting, I would feelguilty. Help!Harry MayorWestVancouver

VIEWPOINT

Redall overJust when we thought all politicians

were out on the barbecue circuitand the words “red chamber”

need never be heard again until, well,the Duffy trial resumes, along comesStephen Harper with some mid-summermusings on our chamber of sobersecond thought.

This is what political spin doctors andcrisis managers refer to as “getting infront” of an issue.

We can see why he might want to dothat and in particular why the PM mightwant to use a summer announcementahead of an election to distance himselffrom the august senators.

Or should we make that Augustsenators?

August being the time that theinfamous trial of disgraced formersenator Mike Duffy is set to resume.

From Harper’s perspective it could

get unpleasant to have a lot of politicaldirty laundry aired afresh and it couldbe downright awkward to have the likesof former chief of staff Nigel Wright takethe stand.

Harper said Friday he’s heardCanadians aren’t happy with the Senate.So the PM says he plans to leave allvacant Senate seats empty.Well, OK.

To be fair, Harper has never been afan of the Senate. But the Senate, rootedin the depths of Byzantine federal-provincial power struggles, isn’t an easything to change. And while the Senatehas continued to exist, Harper has beenhappy to use it for its unofficial purpose— partisan politicking on the taxpayer’sdime.

Unfortunately for Stephen Harper, it’snot the senators he’s not appointing thatCanadians are fuming about — it’s theones he did appoint.

Dear Editor:Re: Cats Licensed,

Sterilized and Indoors Only,July 10 Mailbox.

I just had to respond tothese issues on cats in ourcommunity. It seems catsalways get a bad rap.Whyis that?When was the last

time a domestic cat was inthe news for violence againsthumans like our “bestfriend” the dog? I find ithard to believe bird hunting(which is an instinct, by theway) is causing a decreasein our bird population onthe North Shore. Humans

cause wars that are no longerjustifiable as “instinct”generated, so who are weto judge? As for the poop,during my childhood wehad dog poop all over ouryards and sidewalks. I don’tremember ever seeing anycat poop. Cats should never

be out at night. Owners mayconsider using a harness/leadto keep their cats safe in theirneighbourhood. Cats need toget outside.

My cat never used to useour garden as a bathroom,she preferred her litter box.I think in most cases, cats

bury their “business” whenthey are done.

Cats are so amazing andintelligent — just like dogs.It breaks my heart to seesuch animosity against ourbeautiful felines.Sharon JerkovicNorthVancouver

THEYSAID IT


One day earlier thismonth I came homefrom work to find my twosons choking each otherout trying to decide whowould get to pull downour Christmas tree.

It was the same thingthey were doing when I leftthe house in the morning.

“Merry Christmas-in-July!” I said.

“I quit,” my wife replied.It was then that I

remembered a conversationI had a few months backwith an inquisitive friendwho wanted to know whatmy typical day was like. Heasked me specifically whatwas going through my headwhen I arrived home fromwork each day and I toldhim, with no hesitation,that the moment I walkedthrough the door of myhouse each evening wasalways the best part of myday, every day.

“There’s no supper,we have no food,” a voiceinside my wife croaked,snapping me out of myreminiscing.

Best part of my day, eh?Is it really? I decided totake a closer look at that

statement. It’s an importantquestion for anyone takingstock of their life choices:How do you feel when youwalk through that door?

I sometimes feel a bitguilty because anothergreat part of my day iswhen I leave the housein the morning, throwingon my headphones andsettling in for a lovely walkto work.The guilt comeson those days when I’mabout to leave and I cantell the house is momentsaway from catching fire duesolely to the sheer heat ofthe insane shenanigans mytwo boys are getting into.My wife looks at me with

the desperate, pleading eyesof a zebra being attackedby two young lions and all Ican do is keep on walking.It’s the circle of life.

But what about thatreturn home? Is it really thebest part of my day? Notevery day is the same, soI’ve broken it down into afew general examples thatevery parent will recognizeand every prospectiveparent should preparethemselves for:

The “Hi, here’s thebaby”

This is a classic movethat all new parents mustface when they returnhome after a long absence.The partner who has beenhome all day, covered inweek-old spit and stink andfear, immediately offloadsthe baby and then goes topee for the first time in 10hours.

The partner who receivesthe baby should not expectto move for the next six toeight hours. Note: don’tcount on getting the “hi.”

The utopiaAs kids get older

parenthood gets, in theory,a little less terrifying, andsometimes it’s downrightmagical. Recently I camehome from work andarrived at the perfect time,my four-year-old sonpopping up in the windowjust as I was heading up thewalk.

“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”

I could hear himthrough various openwindows as he followedme around the side of thehouse to our entrance,where he was joined bymy two-year-old who alsostarted joyously yelling“Daddy!”

We played a bit ofbasketball on their minihoop and then came insideto find a wonderful dinneron the table. Pure familialbliss, and further proofthat my wife is capable oforchestrating order out ofchaos in ways that I canonly dream of duplicating.When I’m in charge ofthe whole operation myonly hope is that I don’tburn anything too badlyon the barbecue, childrenincluded.

The nuclear meltdownHere are common

thoughts upon arrivinghome in the middle of ameltdown:What’s goingon? Who’s screaming? Whyis momma locked in thecloset? Where’d you get acrossbow?

On the rare instanceswhen I’ve come home andencountered one of thesenuclear explosions I alwaystry to just cool down oneof the reactors so that mywife can at least have asecond to get her hazmatsuit on. I worry that oneday I’ll be too late and I’llhave to watch her meltaway through the windowlike Captain Kirk watchingMr. Spock at the end of

TheWrath of Khan.“I have been, and

always shall be, yourfriend,” she’ll say with herdying breaths, to which I’llreply, “Is supper ready?”

These examples are theextremes, the truth almostalways landing somewherein between.What neverchanges, though, is thatsomeone will scream“Daddy!” and there will behugs.The screams mightnot always be happy ones— seriously, where didthat crossbow come from— but it’s the hugs thatalways go straight to theheart.

So yes, without a doubt:best part of my day.

time watering offenders.For those who ignore thosewarnings, tickets rangefrom $100 in the District ofNorthVancouver to $400 inWestVancouver. So far, theDistrict of NorthVancouverhas sent out nearly 500pointed reminders tohomeowners. More than80 households inWestVancouver have been givenwarnings.

WestVancouver also has atool that most municipalitiesdon’t when it comes to waterregulation: water meters.

So far, water meteringhas been adopted inrelatively few communitiesin the Lower Mainland,despite evidence that priceinfluences behaviour.

The cost of retrofittinghomes with meters hasproved a deterrent, atleast compared to MetroVancouver’s relatively cheapbulk water rates.

WestVancouver is anexception. Prior to 2006,the affluent communitywith more than its share ofinfinity pools, hot tubs andfive-bathroom homes had areputation for being waterhogs.

To make matters worse,the top one-sixth of userswere consuming more than

50 per cent of the water.After water meters wereinstalled, usage patternschanged.

Not everyone was pleasedwhen the first meteredwater bills arrived. But inthe nine years the metershave been in, consumptionhas dropped by 25 per cent,to 546 litres per capita onaverage.

An escalating tariff

structure means the morewater used, the moreexpensive it becomes.But forWestVancouver,curbing summer use is still achallenge.

While winter water usein the municipality has beenpegged at about 325 litresper person per day, in Juneof 2014 that figure climbedto more than 600 litres perperson per day.This June,

the figure shot up to 793litres per capita.

To help address theproblem,WestVancouver hashired a “water ambassador”to analyze the water usagefigures and figure out who isusing the most water — andwhy.The municipality plansto target high water users inan education campaign.

One good thing about thehigh rates of residential water

use: “We have a lot of roomto come down,” said Bates.

That’s a point watershedexpert Hans Schreier ofthe University of BritishColumbia’s Institute forResources, Environment andSustainability agrees with.“We use far too much waterand we have no real wateraccounting,” he said.

Water hasn’t beenmetered so we haven’t valuedit, he said. “Everything elseis metered which is of value,”said Schreier — Hydro andnatural gas, for instance.

So far, the District ofNorthVancouver has 100homes on a pilot watermeter program.The City ofNorthVancouver believesit’s a good idea — just tooexpensive to put in place onall older homes. But, saysSchreier, “Sooner or laterwe’re going to have to dothat.”

Communities that put inwater meters see an averagedecline in use of about 30per cent, he said. Anotherrelatively simple fix would berequiring that all homes havelow-flush toilets, he said.That could easily accountfor another 30 per cent dropin water use, said Schreier.“That’s massive.”

Beyond that, in otherjurisdictions where sustained

drought has been a problem— like Arizona, Californiaand Australia — reusing“grey water” from theshower and laundry forflushing toilets and irrigatingplants is seen as part of thesolution.

Until recently, regulationsunder B.C.’s building andplumbing codes around such“grey water” systems wereconfusing and complex. Butrecent changes mean it’smuch more do-able to installa separate “purple pipe” greywater system, said Schreier,which feeds into an outsidestorage system. “Why do weuse bacteria-free water toput on plants and yards?” hesaid. “That’s wasting as faras I’m concerned.”

And given climate-changeprojections, “Now is thetime to start initiating theseideas.”

Changing our behaviourmakes much more sensethan rushing to developnew sources of water, saidSchreier — most of which(like raising the height ofthe Seymour Falls dam)would cost hundreds ofmillions of dollars and beenvironmentally challenging.

“We use so much water,”he said, that there’s a lot ofroom to make small changesthat “get us out of trouble.”

Watermeters cut use by 25% inWV

School hosts top junior physicistsare the next generation ofexceptional physics talent,”said Greg Dick, directorof educational outreach atthe institute. “The ISSYPprogram is meant tospark their imaginations,challenge their physicsknowledge, and preparethem for the pursuit ofphysics at the universitylevel.”

Over the last two weeks,Mahinpei has sat throughlectures from some of theworld’s top minds lookingat where the Newtonionunderstanding of physicsbreaks down and Einstein’sparadigm-shifting generaland special relativity theorybegins.

The lessons are typicallyfollowed by experimentsthat help them to derivephysics formulas on theirown.

“Normally what youdo in school is teacherswrite the formulas and tellyou the theories but hereit’s more like us trying tounderstand the theoriesourselves, very muchlike how the scientiststhemselves originally cameup with these ideas,” shesaid.

The students have alsobeen able to visit someof Canada’s premierdestinations for physicistsincluding the Institute forQuantum Computing andSNOLAB, a laboratory twokilometres underground forparticle physics research— cosmic dark matter andsupernova neutrinos.Thatold stuff.

It’s been a uniqueexperience to share the

classroom with a cohortthat has the same loveof physics that she does,Mahinpei said. “I’ve meta lot of talented studentsin my life but generally,the interests of people areso varied and broad that Idon’t find many studentsthat have the same interestsas me.That’s when yourealize how much youknow and how much youdon’t know.”

The school, which ismade up of 20 Canadianand 20 internationalstudents, is split evenlybetween young men andwomen, a significant pointfor Mahinpei. One of

the reasons Mahinpeil’sparents chose to relocateto Canada was to give heraccess to an education shelikely wouldn’t get in Iran.

“Math and physicsaren’t necessarily taughtthat seriously to girlsbecause girls and boys goto separate schools,” shesaid.

When she arrived inCanada, however, she wastroubled to find almostthe same gender disparity.“When I went to myphysics classes and myengineering classes, thereweren’t that many girls.Sometimes I was the onlygirl in those classes so that

was really shocking to me.”This fall, Mahinpei will

be starting the Science Oneprogram at the Universityof British Columbia, whichshe hopes to segue into amajor in chemical physicsand eventually, particle and

theoretical physics.Beyond working out

the formulas that willsimplify the mysteries ofthe universe, Mahinpeihas another more appliedgoal — getting more girlsinvolved in physics.

“I think one of thebiggest reasons for that is alack of confidence.

“I really think anyone —it doesn’t matter how muchknowledge they have — iscapable of doing physics,”she said.

This year’s games will feature25 Olympic-style sports in

venues throughout the areaand organizers are expecting towelcome 500,000 spectators overtheir run.

This year marks the first timeCanada is sending a basketballteam to the world games.

Kellof has been involved in

Special Olympics programmingsince 1997 and has long vied foran opportunity to compete on theworld stage.

“It’s been a dream of his for along time to get here and the daythat I called him, I remember Iwas in tears calling him because

I was so happy for him. He wasjust so excited that he was gettingthat chance finally,” says ZakKlein, head coach of the SpecialOlympics Team Canada 2015basketball team.

Kellof was calledup to the team at theeleventh hour in light ofan unfortunate injuryaffecting another player.

Kellof and Klein areamong five North Shoreresidents that are membersof Special Olympics TeamCanada 2015, comprisedof 165 athletes, missionstaff and coaches fromacross the country.

Joining Kellof on thebasketball court is SangeonYoo, 19.

The players made itthrough a number ofqualifying rounds —regionals, provincials andnationals included — tomake it to Team Canada.The team is comprised of10 players — nine malesand one female — from

the Lower Mainland andVancouver Island.

Joining Klein asassistant coaches on theteam are Jimmy Petersonand Jayne Baggott. All arevolunteers.

“It was quite anhonour (and) it was veryhumbling,” says Klein onbeing chosen to be part ofthe team. “It’s definitely aspecial feeling to know thatyou’re one of three coachesacross Canada beingselected to represent yourcountry.”

Klein, a 25-year-oldNorth Vancouver resident,got involved with SpecialOlympics B.C. — NorthShore at age 15 in thewake of a car accident andresulting injuries to hisknees.

“I was no longer ableto participate in sports of

my own but I wanted togive back to sports and stillstay involved somehow,”he says.

Familiar with theorganization, he startedvolunteering with theirsoccer program, thoughsoon after, he recruitedPeterson, his best friend,to help him launch abasketball program toboth fill a gap in the localchapter’s programmingas well as in light of hispersonal passion for thegame.

“That’s just kept me inever since. It’s my favouritesport and these are someof my favourite people andit’s just a wonderful time,”says Klein.

In addition to hisvolunteerism with SpecialOlympics, he works as aspecial education assistantat Lions Gate ChristianAcademy.

“Basically if I’mnot working, I’mvolunteering,” he says.

“This is my 10th yearnow of coaching and it’spretty much the ultimatecelebration of a decadevolunteering. It’s beenincredible to see all thehard work that theseathletes have put in overthe past few years cometo fruition and now theyget to show their stuff on aworld stage,” he adds.

The 2015 SpecialOlympics World SummerGames’ opening

ceremonies were heldyesterday and TeamCanada’s basketball playerswill begin competingtoday.

“We’ll play ourdivisioning games to seewhere we stack up againstother competition. Oncewe play a couple of thosedivisioning games, then

we’ll get our scheduleand we’ll know who we’rematched up against,” saysKlein.

Yoo is likewise hopefulregarding their chancesof bringing home a goldmedal.

“We’ve been practisingthree times a week . . . fornine months. . . .We play

well together, we play hardand we run hard,” he says.

The team will returnhome Aug. 3.

For years it stood, its columns forming a familiar four-sided tribute to the Greek goddess Athena.

A piece of architectural folly, it may have seemed out ofplace nestled on the waterfront of the quaint neighbourhoodof Caulfeild inWestVancouver, but many remember “TheParthenon,” as it was called, a replica (not scale) of theancient temple of the same name (the real one is locatedin Athens).The Caulfeild version was mainly caught inglimpses as it came in and out of view if one drove alongMarine Drive. Rumour has it the structure was built bythe homeowner at the time, and he or his wife may haveoriginally been from Greece. It was reportedly seen until the1990s when suddenly it was no longer there.

Resident Barb Lunter doesn’t rememberThe Parthenonstatue, but she would describe the neighbourhood ofCaulfeild as having more of a British flavour than a Greekone. She compares it to the Cotswolds in England, a populartourist destination known for its clusters of limestonecottages in a string of rural villages.

“We thought that it was just one of the most beautifulneighbourhoods in terms of feeling like you’re in the country,and yet you’re only seven minutes from Dundarave and20 minutes from downtown, but you really get the sensethat you’re far away,” says Lunter of her impression of theneighbourhood before she moved there 14 years ago.

Raised in LynnValley, Lunter moved to Dundarave whenshe got married then shuffled west to Caulfeild.

neighbourhoods

“It’s like the neighbourhoods that aredescribed in the Huckleberry Finn book,”she notes, adding it’s not unusual to catchresidents walking around carrying kayaks, orwearing gumboots or swim towels.

“For all the changes that have beenhappening in the world, this neighbourhoodmanaged to stay like it was over a hundredyears ago. It’s just the same, and it neverchanges and I think that’s why people lovethis neighbourhood.”

Her favourite memory is regularly takingher two kids to the waterfront wharf inTiddly Cove over the years for swimming.

Originally known as Skunk Cove,Caulfeild Cove, with its inner beach stretchknown asTiddly Cove, served an earlyimportant function. Because the waterfrontfrom Cypress Creek to Lighthouse Park is sorugged and craggy, ships entering and leavingthe harbour in the early days needed a localpilot to help guide them. Pilot boats wouldwait in Skunk Cove to escort ships in andout. Many houses in the area are still centredaround the cove, and Lunter says there’s stilllots of activity coming in and out.

“There’s always something going on in thecove,” she notes.

Many property lots are considered estate-sized in Caulfeild, and there are plenty oftrees and green space, but driving there canbe a challenge thanks to a series of winding,one-way, narrow roads. Lunter admits thiscan be a problem for some, but she has livedin the area long enough that navigating andparking aren’t issues for her.The homes inthis area were originally built as summercottages with plywood frames, single-pane windows, and no insulation. Lunterremembers how drafty her home was whenshe and her husband first moved in until thecouple remodelled and later rebuilt.

Some homes in Caulfeild remain close totheir original design, while others have beencompletely redone, but renovations are not asure thing in this neighbourhood.

The Lower Caulfeild Advisory Committeeis an extra layer of procedure homeownersmust go through before getting approval forchanges. Lower Caulfeild is a designatedHeritage Conservation Area, for whichthe LCAC acts as an advisory board tothe District ofWestVancouver council andplanning department.The committee makesrecommendations to the district aboutpermits for changes in this area.

“It’s good for the neighbourhood becauseit keeps our heritage feel here,” says Lunter,but admits it can be an extra hurdle forhomeowners trying to make changes to theirproperty.

Park in the southwest.The ocean forms anatural boundary to the south, while theUpper Levels Highway acts as the northernboundary just before Cypress Park.

As with all areas of the North Shore,Caulfeild was originally the territory of theCoast Salish people, including the SquamishNation. As European settlers moved in andareas were pre-empted, Caulfeild eventuallybecame a destination for summer cottagers.

According to the book Cottages toCommunity, by Francis Mansbridge, itscurrent name came from settler FrancisCaulfeild who was originally from Englandand purchased a large swath of property in1899. He then set out to develop a residentialarea that incorporated the surroundingnatural features. His preference for followingnatural contours rather than the morecommon surveyors’ straight lines probablycontributed to the neighbourhood’s currentcurvy maze of streets. Caulfeild returned toEngland in 1926 and died there in 1934, butnot before donating 25 hectares for parks,as well as a site for St. Francis-in-the-Woodchurch.

Another early resident who recently madenews again was Howard Martin, a developerwho died in 1994. According to a previousNorth Shore News story, Martin donated 10acres of land in 1954 to establish Caulfeildelementary with the condition that theeastern end of the property be kept as forestfor the kids to play in. Martin built homesaround the school in the 1960s and ’70s,and was instrumental in bringing togetherthe owners in a process that led to the 1978approval of the development of the Caulfeildneighbourhood. In 2014, theWestVancouverCommunity Foundation was a recipient of$3.6 million from Martin’s estate, as part ofa $27-million endowment to four differentorganizations.

Although residential now, at one timeCaulfeild did host some industry. In thelate 1800s, the Great Northern Canneryoccupied a large waterfront property inCaulfeild. It operated until the 1960s whenresidents pushed for its closure partly dueto the associated smell and noise.The areawas bought by the federal government andreplaced with a Department of Fisheries andOceans laboratory that is still there today.

Marine Drive opened in 1915, and ferryrides brought visitors over fromVancouver,but there were still only about 50 homesin the area by the 1940s. However, thepopulation grew to 2,700 by the mid-1970s,and a new subdivision was eventually addedto the Caulfeild Plateau, just north of LowerCaulfeild, where 270 acres (110 hectares)were developed, according to Mansbridge’sbook.The subdivision helped boost thepopulation, and in 1987 the CaulfeildVillageShopping Centre opened providing a localretail and commercial destination.

PICNIC AND ROUNDROBIN The SeniorsTennis Association of theNorth Shore will host itsannual picnic and round

Our fifth annual SeniorsQuiz, which ran July 12,was a big hit.

Today I’ll review thequiz questions that drewthe most response fromreaders.

The notion thatresearchers at theUniversity of Illinois atChicago would trip seniorson purpose, tripped up— if you’ll pardon the pun— a number of readers.

Participants werestrapped in safety gearand motion sensors whilewalking on a treadmillthat occasionally skipped,training them to avoidfalling.The result: a 50 percent reduction in the fall

rate up to a year later.Are there really more

than 300 million peoplein the world whosebodies contain significantartificial replacementparts?Yes. Hip and kneereplacements, dentalimplants and heartpacemakers are old hatnow.What’s truly excitingare new technologies thatmight soon allow us togrow organs like hearts,brains and pancreasesto replace those that aredamaged or removed.

Is babysitting yourgrandkids bad for yourhealth? The correct answeris no.The response fromone reader: It depends on

the grandkids.Take yourpick.

What is it withcelebrities and their pets?Leona Helmsley, thehotelier, left $12 millionto her pooch, althoughthe court later knockedthat amount down to $2million.The late Britishsinger Dusty Springfieldstipulated her cat Nicholaswas to eat only Americanbaby food, live in a seven-foot indoor tree houseand eventually marry an

English blue breed catowned by a friend. OprahWinfrey, who is still withus, has put away $30million to take care of herbeloved dogs after she isgone.

Do your ears hanglow? They might.Thecartilage in your ears keepsgrowing as we age and weget shorter. Between theages of 30 and 70, mencan lose an inch of heightand women can lose twoinches. After the age of 80,both can lose more.

When it comes tothe best place to live inour community people,especially the callers fromWest Vancouver, needto just calm down. InMoney Sense Magazine’s10th annual ranking ofthe Best Places to Livein Canada the District ofNorth Vancouver placedninth and West Vancouverplaced 11th.That’s themagazine’s take. Not mine.

Are we friends again? Bythe way, Boucherville,Que., topped the list.

Following a complaintfrom a neighbour, policeissued a $148 ticket toa 91-year-old womanin Saguenay, Que., formaking too much noisewith her rocking chair.Theticket was later cancelled.It’s reminiscent of a casea few years ago in whicha Michigan man whosehouse was scheduledfor demolition swappedhis house number witha neighbour leading thedemolition companyto bulldoze the wronghouse.The lesson here:try to get along with yourneighbours.

Do people tend to drinkmore alcohol when theyretire?Yes. Is that a goodidea? No.

Does retirement lastabout twice as long todayas it did in the 1960s?Yes.In the ’60s people were

retired on average for eightyears.Today the numberis 16.

Scotland’s oldestwoman, 109, attributesher longevity to fitness,porridge and steering clearof men. She’s 109!You canquestion her methods butnot the result.

Do most retirees wantto live closer to theirchildren? Sorry kids butthe answer is a resoundingno. Most surveys suggestthat only approximatelyone in three persons saidthey wanted to movecloser to their childrenwhen they retired.

Disappointed with yourquiz score?

Don’t worry.There’salways next year.

“I have an elderly aunt who lives in North Vancouver and I live inWhite Rock so the daily challenges of trying to take care of her arehuge. When I was advised by her doctor that she required firstly12 hour overnight care I didn't know where to begin. Thankgoodness someone recommended Retire-At-Home Services to me.From the first few minutes of speaking with Fiona I felt a hugeweight lifted from my shoulders, her efficient and extremelycompassionate responses were wonderful. After several weekswhen we had to move to longer care hours all it took was a call toFiona and it was dealt with very promptly.

Maverickmaking asplash inOkanaganIf there’s one thing ofwhich you could neveraccuse Bertus Albertyn itwould be taking himselftoo seriously.

Albertyn is winemaker,viticulturist and co-ownerof Maverick EstateWinery,a gem of a new winery inthe South Okanagan that’simpressed me from theword “go” and is alreadyturning heads. As I tastedthrough his wines last week,it occurred to me that, whileI’ve met more than my shareof winemakers, few are asdriven by such joyful passionin their work.

At just 37, Albertynalready has plenty ofexperience under his belt,having worked in several ofthe world’s major regions.“I know just enough to getmyself into a lot of trouble,”he says with a laugh.

Between several vintages,first as winemaker atWellington Cellars and thenas head viticulturist andwinemaker at Avondale, aleading-edge, ecologicallyaware Cape producer, heworked the “off seasons”in Sonoma, Italy, CotesduVentoux and NorthernRhone.

Schalk deWitt, Albertyn’sfather-in-law, had recognizedthe Okanagan’s potential, aswell as many similarities toSouth Africa, when he firstcame to Canada almost acouple of decades ago. Heand his wife Lynn purchased48 acres in Osoyoos in 2005.After Albertyn met his wifein 2007, they also decidedto investigate possibilities inCanada.

“We drove through thevalley and said this looks

very similar to home.Wetasted some of the wines andthey were quite drinkable,”jokes Albertyn. (“No, therewere some very good wines,”he’s quick to add.)

The couple purchasedan old, neglected organicfarm and spent long hoursclearing the property ofremains of greenhouses andold sheds, one of which wasconverted into a winery, justto get going.

“We planted everythingfrom scratch,” says Albertyn.“Luckily, because of mybackground we actuallydug the soil and planted inabout one-acre lots, witheverything specifically gearedto what we felt would growhere.We picked the varietiesbased on the soils.”

As a seasoned winemaker,Albertyn had no problemfinding people interested inhiring him (such as DonaldTriggs at Culmina andBurrowing Owl’s JimWyse)while they were gettinggoing. Maverick EstateWinery came to fruitionwith about 400 cases madein 2011, growing to some4,000 cases this year.

Ever modest, Albertynsays the reason behind his

passion for wine is simple:“I’m actually a wine drinker.I just love wine.Wine-making is an easy way to getto drinking wine,” he jokes.

But he notes making wineis a way of life for him.

Maverick’s winescontinue to impress me.They’re some of the cleanestand well-made, value-drivendrops coming out of thesouth valley. If you’re in thearea, make sure you drop bythe family’s exquisite, just-completed tasting room.

Here’s a couple to trackdown locally:Maverick Estate Origin2014

Equal parts SauvignonBlanc and Gewurztraminer,with 10 per centViognierand a splash of Pinot Gris,yields citrus and floralaromas before a juicy, quitetextured tropical and limepalate with mineral hints($17, 90 points).Maverick EstateSauvignon Blanc 2014

More gooseberry andcitrus than grassy on top;vibrant gooseberry andcitrus wrapped in a broadmouthfeel, with a lengthy,gently mineral end ($19, 92points).

Also tasted and of note:2014 Pinot Gris (92 points);2013 Pinot Noir (91 points);Sophia Port-style (91points). Oh, and keep aneye out for Ella, a wicked,traditional-method PinotNoir-Chardonnay 2013 BrutRosé (92 points), coming inthe fall.Tim Pawsey writes about winefor numerous publications andonline as the Hired Belly athiredbelly.com.Contact: [email protected].

MikeGrenbyMoney Matters

WORK

Marketingmeets altruism in theU.K.LONDON — “No charge”. . . “It’s on the house” . . .“Nothing to pay.”

I’ve been pleasantlysurprised to hear theseresponses from somebusinesses here in one ofthe world’s major cities.

For example, on morethan one occasion whenI’ve ordered a coffee at thePrêt à Manger “naturalfood” chain, started inLondon in 1986 and withsome 350 shops worldwide,my offer to pay has beenwaved away.

Business commentatorsare not sure whether thisapproach is more effectivethan the more common

loyalty card program,which provides companieswith information abouttheir customers.

The Prêt program reliesrandomly on employees’

decisions from onecustomer to the next. Butit does encourage youto return and spread theword.

On a smaller scale, anew restaurant in London’sCovent Garden,The BlackPenny café, invited itsinvestors and friends to apre-opening lunch. Alongwith some other curiouspassers-by who happenedto walk into the restaurantI was also willingly offereda complimentary meal.(That prompted me to take

some photos for them, anddo an initial TripAdvisorreview so they could belisted for future reviews.)

And at the officialopening a few days later,The Black Penny chargedonly one penny per itemordered.

Whether such strategieswill spread remains to beseen. But in one sense theycould reflect a welcomeshift toward altruism in ourpredominantly dollars-and-cents world.

Berkeley’s Karma

Kitchen, started in2007 and with severallocations around the world(karmakitchen.org) operateson a pay-it-forward basis.You receive a zero billfor your meal with a notethat it was paid for by aprevious customer.You arethen invited to pay for thenext customer’s meal.

Many randomacts of kindness use asimilar if less structuredapproach.You simplygive a restaurant (orother business) money to

cover another customer’spurchase.

I’m sure we could allprofit if this unconditionalattitude became moreprevalent. As Gandhi said:“You must be the changeyou wish to see in theworld.”

Lessons in courage fromanaging canine friendMy shepherd Zumi isclosing in on her 13thyear and as I look intoher aging, weary-lookingeyes, I wonder to myselfif I gave her the best lifeshe could have.

I never imagined herlooking so tired. She hadalways been full of pissand vinegar, eager tofearlessly take on whateverwas presented to her. Butnow her legs are weak, herhearing is challenged andher enthusiasm for chasinganything is weighed againstthe effort of having to lifther arthritic bones off thecomfy bed.

It breaks my heart, butshe doesn’t seem botheredby it, accepting her senioryears with as much graceas she can.

She still tries to puton a good show when thedastardly squirrel runsalong the power lines, butshe tires quickly and thesquirrel knows this. Henow taunts her, flicking

his tail and chirping a fewfeet away, knowing full wellshe can no longer moveas quickly as she used to.She now just gives onelast bark, lays down andwatches the furry buggerwatching her. In essence,she has learned to turn theother cheek, somethingshe would have neverconsidered doing as ayoungster. She was alwaysthe one to make sure hervoice was the last oneheard, her presence the last

one felt and her menacing“I dare you” stare the lastthing seen.

I have learned somuch from her about dogbehaviour and myself. Shehas by far been the mostchallenging of dogs I havehad in my life and the mostloyal, at times to a fault,putting herself in harm’sway for my safety. She wasalways an honest dog thatplayed by the rules, butshe played with her wholeheart.

I love her.I miss her.Even though she is still

here with me, I miss thetough-as-nails, believe-in-yourself-and-expect-the-best, four-legged cowgirlshe was. She still is thatcowgirl in a way, but shechooses her battles morecarefully now. Much likeme, I guess.

She enters conflict onlyafter great consideration nolonger with the intentionof winning, but rather afterruminating whether thebattle is worth the painof the fight, or if there isa more peaceful way ofsettling the conflict. If not,then she just walks away.Peace is achieved throughtolerance rather thanphysical conflict.

When physical strengthno longer reigns thenintuition does.

We have been soulsisters, Zumi and I.She openly and eagerlyexpressed anger andfrustration that I nevercould. She never held backto tell someone (dog) offfor crossing the line, whenI did.

She never looked backin regret on her choices tospeak up, yet I often lookedback in regret for notspeaking up.

No dog ever tookadvantage of Zumi.Theynever even tried. She wasunabashedly confident witha “you mess with me andyou are in for a whole lotof hurt” attitude that I didnot have.

I envied her, until Ifound the courage to beher.

From her, I’ve learnedto be unafraid to speakup.Whether she (or I)was right or wrong didn’tmatter.What did matterwas that I had a voice andan opinion that was worthyof expressing, simplybecause it was an opinion.She taught me the truemeaning of freedom ofexpression.

It’s a freedom that hasnothing to do with my“right” to express myself,but the freedom of the soulwhen I am heard, when Idon’t hold back and bottleup emotions and thoughtsto the point where theybecome ugly, resentfulbitterness inside.

As I have said, Zumi isalmost 13.That is almost90 years old in humanyears. For a 90-year-olddog, she does not have astitch of grey hair on her.She is still as black as coal.Outside of her weary eyesand her arthritic walk shedoesn’t look older thana dog of five.There is alesson in aging gracefully inthis as well.

Zumi has lived fully. Shehas lived openly and shehas lived with no regrets.She has lived a good life.

who all suited up for theHighlands team that lostto Hastings in last year’sprovincial final.

“Last year we enduredthe opposite effect whenwe were in the final inTrail,” said Lake. “Theboys knew what was atstake, they knew theydidn’t want to have thatfeeling again.”

The win was the firstprovincial title for aHighlands team at anyage level and the firsttime a team from District5 (North Shore) haswon a 9/10 provincialchampionship, accordingto district officials.Thevictory, however, seemed along way away at the startof the tournament afterHighlands — consideredone of the favourites— lost their opening game5-3 against Hastings.

“After that game Italked to the boys anddiscussed that this is partof baseball, that’s whyit’s a long tournament,”said Lake. “We came outthe next day and played agood, fundamental game,didn’t make any mistakes,and pretty much builtfrom that. Every game Ithought the boys got betterand better and better andbetter.”

The Highlands squadwas really flying by the endof the tournament, makingthe final with an 11-0 winover Little Mountain in

the semifinals.The four championship

veterans were the drivingforce, said Lake, addingthat they all pitched forteam and played thekey defensive positionswhen they weren’t on themound.

“They really set thetone for the other kids,” hesaid. “They really steppedup and led this teamright through the districtsand provincials in everyaspect — hitting, pitching,fielding.They were myleaders all the way throughand without them andwithout their leadershipand their play, I don’tknow if the boys wouldhave been able to pushthrough the provincials.”

That’s the end ofthe road for this teamas there are no nationalchampionships for thisage group, but Lake saidhe’s hoping to make asplash at the Majorslevel (12 and under)next year when NorthVancouver will host theprovincial championshipsand Hastings will hostnationals.

“Hopefully we’ll bearound until mid-Augustplaying baseball, instead ofearly or mid-July,” he saidwith a laugh.

For now though theteam is happy to revel inthis year’s well-earnedvictory.

“Something like thistakes a lot of effort alongthe way.You don’t just get

the kids and in a coupleof weeks put it together,”said Lake. “When youget to this point and yousee how well they do andyou see the success thatthey had it’s really quiterewarding….The maturity

that you see in a 10-year-old boy at this level isquite remarkable.Youwouldn’t think that kids atthat age would step up andbe that mature and play aswell as they do.They reallysurprise you.”

Brandon Crichton isclimbing fast in the worldof extreme racing.Veryfast.

The North Vancouverresident, a formerprofessional cyclist whonow works in real estate,won the Red Bull 400 raceheld July 19 at WhistlerOlympic Park. Dubbed the“steepest 400-metre racein the world,” the eventinvolved two sprints — onequalification heat and onefinal — 400 metres straightup Olympic Park’s ski jumpand landing area.

Crichton ran the fastesttime in the heats, fourminutes and seven seconds,and then outraced ShaunStephens-Whale in the40-man final, clockinga time of 3:53. Red Bullofficials told Crichton itwas the fastest time everrecorded in a Red Bull 400during the four years thatthey’ve been held at similarlocations around the world.

So how did he preparehimself for the world’ssteepest 400-m race?

“You can’t really trainfor something like this.When do you get a chanceto run on a 45-degreeslope?” Crichton said witha laugh when the NorthShore News caught upwith him after the race.“But we’re lucky enoughhere in North Van to havearguably the best terrainto potentially train forsomething like that.We’vegot the Grouse Grind right

here in our backyard.”Crichton said he hit

the Grind hard in theweeks and months leadingup to the Red Bull 400to work on his climbingskills and stamina. He alsoentered the O2X SummitChallenge, a technical andrugged 8.8 kilometre trailrace, with 840 m elevationgain, held on GrouseMountain July 11. Crichtonsaid that was his first everrunning race. Naturally, hewon it too.

“That kind of gave mea little bit of confidence,”he said.While the O2XSummit Challenge wasa unique trail race, theRed Bull 400 was a verydifferent animal.

“They didn’t let youpre-walk any of this stuff.You really just show up, youstare at this big behemothmountain and you’re like,‘Crap, I’ve got to run upthis.What’s the plan?’” saidCrichton.

The race started at thebottom of the grass anddirt landing area underthe ski jump and climbedfrom there, ending up ona custom-made woodenplank laid over top of theactual ski jump.

“Little baby steps, andyou’ve got to pick yourline,” Crichton said abouthow he attacked the hill.“You’re constantly lookingat where the best footholdis….You definitely haveto worry (about fallingbackwards). A lot ofpeople were using theirhands in the dirt. I foundthat leaning forward and

constantly keeping the feetmoving (worked best). Ifyou stand up straight youcould easily fall backwards.It was such a weirdexperience.”

In the final Crichtonreached the final woodenclimb first but Stephens-Whale reeled him in with50 metres to go, setting upa classic duel to the finish.

“The fans were insaneon the final run,” saidCrichton. “There wereprobably 100 people up

there on the little ski jumpbleachers, hanging overthe rail and screaming. Itfelt like the Tour de Francewhen they’re climbing someof the mountain passes….As soon as I felt himalongside me and heard thecrowd roar, it gave me thisextra gas and I just kind ofopened up a little gap.”

Crichton said hecollapsed in a big pile ofpillows, kindly provided by

event organizers, as soon ashe crossed the finish line.

“It’s unbelievable,like a total out-of-bodyexperience,” he said.“The effort you put out,you’re dizzy, you don’t seeanything. I curled up in aball and stayed there for aminute or two.”

The win earnedCrichton and women’swinner Zoe Dawson ofSquamish a trip to Spain in

November for a showdownagainst six other RedBull 400 champions fromother events held this year.They’ll all go head-to-head at a “secret location,”according to eventorganizers.

“I would imaginethey’re going to heli us into some weird location,”said Crichton with a laugh.“Sounds very Red Bull-ish.”
