One NorthVancouver teen startedhis grad year in the hospital, aftera booze-fuelled fight went wrongat one of NorthVan’s infamousLabour Day park parties.

A group of about 10 teenagershad gathered in the yard of theirlocal high school late Monday nightwhen two of the boys got into afight. “A youth got knocked downand hit his head on a rock” and wasbleeding profusely, said Cpl. RichardDe Jong, spokesman for the NorthVancouver RCMP.

Police were called out around 1a.m. and the 17-year-old was takento Lions Gate Hospital where herequired stitches.

Police in NorthVancouver werealso called out to a large gathering

of about 30 teens who were drinkingon a public property on HamiltonAvenue around midnight Mondaynight. “There was a lot of openliquor that was all poured out,” saidde Jong. Marijuana was also seizedfrom one teen who was later releasedinto the custody of his mother.

Police believe both gatheringswere likely related to a recenttradition among teens who meetin parks, at high schools or in thebush to hold alcohol-fuelled partieson Labour Day, before the first dayof school. De Jong said a warningmessage to parents and teens frompolice last week that they intendedto shut down such events may havehelped keep a relative lid on theunsanctioned festivities.

The rain later in the evening mayalso have put a damper on the teens’celebratory mood, said De Jong.

It’s a summer North ShoreRescue’s members are probablyglad to see the end of.

The all-volunteer team was calledout for seven search and rescuemissions over the Labour Day longweekend, ending what has been oneof the busiest summers in recentmemory.

“Oh man, it’s shocking,” teamleader Mike Danks said with an

exasperated laugh. “August wasthree times the normal amount andfor September, we’re already pastour quota.”

The team typically gets between80 and 100 calls per year. Augustalone saw 29.

The busy weekend started Fridayafternoon whenWestVancouverpolice asked for rescuers’ help ina “silver alert” — a senior withdementia walking away fromhome. Saturday afternoon saw acascade of calls, starting with anRCMP request for help in findingan emotionally disturbed personon Mount Seymour.They thenwere dispatched toWhyte Lakeon the eastern side of Hollyburn

A FraserValley horsebackriding outfit will haveto pony up $8,000 to aNorthVancouver fitnessinstructor who wasinjured while mountingone of their horses.

Sandra Starrett wasseeking $250,000 indamages from Langley-based Back in the SaddleAgain after a 2009horseback ride wentawry and, according toher, caused injuries thatimpacted her job as anaquatic fitness instructor.

Starrett claimed Back inthe Saddle owner KennethDarcy Campbell, thedefendant in the case, wasnegligent in allowing her torent “Douggy.”

Before setting off onthe trail, Starrett, whosaid she had considerableriding experience, looked“nervous” once shemounted the “cutting”horse that Starrett herselfchose — according toCampbell’s testimonyduring a four-day trial inB.C. Supreme Court inmid-June.

Campbell said he wassurprised at how “sloppy”Starrett’s technique was,and that it took her two or

three attempts to get seatedon Douggy. Nonetheless,Starrett set off with thegroup but struggled onceagain while trying toremount the horse after amid-ride break.

Starrett testified thegroup’s guide tried tohelp her by providingcounterbalance on one ofthe stirrups, but inexplicablylet go and the horse boltedforward at a gallop whileStarrett was mid-mount.

Justice Susan Griffinsaid Starrett’s story seems“embellished,” when shedescribed herself as standingon her left leg only while thehorse was galloping, but stillbeing able to swing her rightleg over and then falling tothe right.

However, Griffinconcluded Campbell wasnegligent in: allowingStarrett to rent a horsethat was too sensitive andunsafe for her to mount,given the difficulties shedemonstrated to him; notwarning Starrett to avoiddismounting during theride, and failing to ensurehis guide knew how toprovide proper assistanceto Starrett if she needed toremount.

In terms of her injuries,which are backed bydoctors’ reports, Starrettclaimed after the accidentshe was in immediatepain, in her right hip andsacroiliac joint area, andrequired crutches to getaround for two weeks. Someinstability in her right hip,Starrett said, prevents herfrom jumping or standing

on one leg like she couldbefore the accident.

A couple of Starrett’sfitness instructor colleaguesfrom Hollyburn CountryClub and theWestVancouver Aquatic Centrewho were called as witnessestestified that she was moreactive and fit before thehorseback riding accident.

The reality is Starrettcan perform as an aquaticsinstructor, concludedGriffin, who said the witnesstestimony convinced her ofthis.

Griffin said Starrett, 49,blamed her loss of functionand subsequent incomeloss solely on the horsebackriding injures while failingto disclose how othermishaps prior to 2009 mayhave affected her.

Starrett was involved intwo motor vehicle accidentsprior to the horseback ridingaccident, and a tear to herright ACL in 2008 took overa half a year to heal. She wasalso hospitalized in 2011 foran appendectomy.

However, Griffin didaccept that Starrett sufferedsome pain and sorenessfor two months after thehorseback riding accident,which is why she did notreturn to teaching fourclasses a week at the aquaticcentre for the remainder of2009, amounting to $1,187in lost wages.

Griffin found Starrettwas entitled to $855 inspecial damages, for years ofphysiotherapy and massagetreatments, as part of theoverall $8,042 awarded toher.

Mountain where a womanwas stranded on a cliffband.The subject had two dogswith her, one of which wasinjured and couldn’t get outon its own. North ShoreRescue volunteer ScottMerriman loaded the injuredpup, Sumi, into a backpackand hiked the dog out onfoot.

Just 15 minutes afterthe rescue was concludedthe team got a call for helpfrom Lions Bay Search andRescue to aid in a long-linerescue of someone whosuffered a backcountry ankleinjury. Before theTalonhelicopter could even headfor home, as darkness wassetting in, the team got onemore call — one of the mostdifficult ones of the summer.

A 68-year-old German

tourist had gotten off-trailbetween the BCMC andBluff trails on GrouseMountain and wound upstranded at the base of a 60-metre cliff above a waterfall.

“They didn’t get himout until 5:30 a.m.,” Dankssaid. “I’ve got to say, ‘Hugerespect’ to all the NorthShore Rescue members thatwere out for nine hours onthat call doing some verytechnical rope rescue skillsand then went into work inthe morning.”

Volunteers were backout again Sunday afternoonwhen they were called toBrothers Creek to rescuea woman with a fracturedankle and then back to LionsBay to help find a Russianhiker reported missing.

Such heavy call volumeis taxing the team’s abilityto muster searchers, Danks

said. Before he died, formerteam leaderTim Jones hadbeen lobbying the provinceto provide more sustainablefunding and on-call payfor the team’s most activemembers.

“I think the challenge iswe’re being run off our feetwith calls and we don’t havethe resources to fight thatbattle with the provincialgovernment, but somethingneeds to change becauseas it stands now, it’s notsustainable,” Danks said.

The biggest thing thepublic can do to help, Dankssaid, is donating, allowingrescuers to focus on rescues.

To celebrate the team’s50th anniversary, NorthShore Rescue will hostan open house at its 61Bewicke Ave. rescue baseon Sunday. Danks said hehopes the public will come

gain an appreciation for theorganization’s history and itsearly members.

“They’re the ones whoshaped the team to what itis today.We’re really pushingfor the public to come outand meet these guys and askthem about stories from thepast where they had rescuesthat would last three to fivedays sometimes with littlesupport from aircraft,” hesaid. “They were hard menback then.”

One of those old-timers,however, said the event ismeant to be a celebration ofNorth Shore Rescue’s manysupporters. “We wouldn’tbe able to do anythingwithout the support of somany organizations andpeople, and the provincialgovernment and (EmergencyManagement BC),” GerryBrewer said.

Grasshopper an uninvited lunch [email protected]

A NorthVancouver womangot a little more proteinthan she asked for in aSubway wrap last week— bugs, dead and alive.

Debbie Parhar was atCapilano Mall picking upsupplies for her son’s returnto daycareThursday whenshe got the awful surprise inher lunch. As she bit into herusual spinach wrap, a fly flewout. She then looked down

and saw what appeared to bea “decaying grasshopper.”

The experience has lefta lasting impact on Parhar.“I have no problem withSubway. It’s a nice, cheap,quick lunch but I think I willnot be eating there for a longtime,” she said. “I can’t eveneat packaged spinach thatyou buy from the grocerystore. Every time I thinkabout it, I get quite violentlyill.”

The response fromSubway staff was less than

impressive, Parhar added.“No disrespect to the clerks.They’re young.They’reprobably just at theirsummer jobs. But the firstthing they said was ‘This hasnever happened to us before’and they didn’t want it toimpact other customers,”she said. “They didn’t eventhrow the spinach away.They just gave us a refundand sent us on our merryway.”

Since then, the owner ofthe franchise has sent a form

response to Parhar and theparent company has pledgedto resolve the matter.

“We’re going toinvestigate it thoroughlyjust to see what could havehappened. It may have comefrom our manufacturer. Itmay not have,” said DaveRowland, vice-president ofoperations for Subway B.C.and Alberta. “We definitelyappreciate it coming to ourattention so that we can look

Dear Editor:While I do understand that

I live in an area surrounded byapartment buildings and condos,please, please can someone tell mewhy we have to be subjected to theleaf-blowing guy constantly?

This used to happen in the fallbut now it’s pretty much all year

round.We do get some relief when it

snows but I think, if they could,they would still show up and tryand find the dastardly leafs.

This week (of writing, pre-storm) is a prime example. Fourbuildings, all within a block havehad their few leafs collected by

the man with the machine, allon different days.The machinethat can only be described as theworld’s noisiest dentist drill.

The machine that was designedto fill BC Place with noise so loudthat it could, without any effort,drown out a heavy-metal rockconcert.

Anybody out there with anyreasonable suggestions? They canfly men to the moon; this problemdoes have a solution, doesn’t it?

OK, back to my morning coffeeand I would listen to the birds, butsadly they have all gone deaf.Willow HaydenWest Vancouver

VIEWPOINT

Urine troubleI f there’s anything that the recentTinklegate

has taught us, it’s that political party machineswould do well to have as much information

on their own candidates as they do on voters.In case you missed it, while the federal

election begins to pick up steam this week, twoTory candidates have recently been forced outafter decidedly un-parliamentary behaviourwas revealed.

In one, a contractor was caught on a hiddencamera, peeing into a client’s coffee cup. Anothercandidate was unmasked as someone who liked totape himself crank calling strangers then recordingtheir reactions to his sexual innuendo.

And what political party wouldn’t bethrilled to have their candidates trending onsocial media under hashtags like #peegatewhile pundits make jokes about stories being“leaked”? Most, as it turns out.

While the two Conservative candidates are themost recent and vulgar examples of people you’dnever hope to have represent you, they certainlyaren’t alone. Earlier in the campaign, a Calgary

Liberal was forced to quit after her nasty teenagetweets were recirculated.

In the past we’ve had our own share ofdisgraced candidates on the North Shore. Oneprovincial Conservative was dropped from theballot after a drunk driving incident. And whocan forget the video of Dana Larsen lighting amouthful of joints before driving that surfacedwhile he was running for the NDP?

The fact is such transgressions are fair gamewhen someone is seeking the important job ofrepresenting fellow citizens.Yet party databasesthat are bursting with info on average citizensrepeatedly seem to lack red flags when it comes tothose carrying their own banners.

It’s about time they started paying attention. Ifthey don’t vet their candidates properly, chancesare strong their political opposition will.

There are good reasons for weeding outproblem candidates before they hit theballot. As Rob Ford so amply demonstrated,behaviour that’s a problem before an electionrarely gets better after.

Dear Editor:This week, children all across

Canada will be going back toschool. But what of the now59 million children around theworld from grades 1 to 7, many inconflict zones, who won’t be ableto go to school?

There is clear evidence thateducation is the single-mostimportant factor in improvingthe quality of life in developingcountries.

Canada has supportededucation in developing countriesthrough their contributions tothe ODA (official developmentassistance) but, sadly, Canada’scontributions to ODA havesteadily declined and now are ata deplorable 0.24 per cent of ourgross national income instead ofthe 0.7 per cent that has beenpledged. And only seven percent of that 0.24 per cent goes toeducation.

That’s nowhere near goodenough.

We have a federal electioncoming up. Plan to contact yourcandidates personally and go toall-candidate meetings to ask thecandidates what they and theirparties will do to correct thisabysmal situation.

Now’s the time. Canada can,should and must do it.Ann FrostWest Vancouver

Education a basic right for all

Dear Editor:Regarding the Sept. 2

letter to the editor fromMalcolm Barnes about theCapilano and LynnValleyaccesses to the Upper Levels(Trans-Canada Highway), Ihave been meaning to writeevery time I witness thatdangerous situation.Theyare “accidents waiting tohappen” and if possible, Iavoid both — trying for analternate route.

The other nightmareis trying to get from DeepCove on to the highwaygoing west.Why is it thatpeople lining up to go overthe Lions Gate Bridge, as Ido almost daily, are politeand merge, while almost noone (on the highway at KeithRoad on-ramp) lets thosevehicles in?Jean LawrenceWestVancouver

Dear Editor:I’m already sick of having

my evenings disturbed bydoor canvassers and wearen’t even close to theelection.There is little I needto hear from these peopleand I suspect that I’m notalone in this.The choice ispretty clear. It’s either we letHarper continue to destroythis country or we choose aparty that can actually stophim.

Nothing is more annoyingthen having someone tell methat vote splitting isn’t real.I have had enough electionsin my lifetime to know whatI know and I know BS whenI hear some professor tell methat she is the only one whoopposes a pipeline. So what?

What makes more sense:electing a party that ifpressured by the voters canactually make some changesor one person shoutingloudly?There are enoughpeople around that will stilldo something stupid likevote for Harper and it’sgoing to take all the smartpeople left to make the rightchoice and not risk anotherHarper government.

If this Lynne (Quarmby,Green Party candidate forBurnaby North-Seymour)really cared about gettingHarper out she’d do theresponsible thing and dropout.You can skip this doorfrom now on.Tabitha ClearlyNorthVancouver

Door canvassers notwanted here, thank-you

Make mine a vote for the planetDear Editor:

Kudos to Lucinda Joneswho brought the 3E FilmFestival to the Kay Meektheatre recently.

The outstanding speakersleft us in no doubt that theplanet is in dire straits, thetechnology for sustainableenergy is available and thatwe could drastically reduceour dependence on fossilfuels, while still boosting theeconomy, if there was thepolitical will.

In northern B.C., extremefracking is destroyingour land, air and water.Alarmingly, it is scheduledto continue for the next 45years. By then, my children

will be in their nineties andmy grandchildren in theirsixties.Will a liveable planetstill exist? Can we wait anylonger for immediate action?

During the lead-up to theelection, the major politicalparties, all of which supportfracking and LNG, havebeen trying to jump on theenvironmental band-wagonby expressing great concernabout global warming. Itbegs the question: “Wherehave they been until now?”

The only leader whohas consistently expressedconcern about ourgovernment’s lack of willto reduce fossil fuels isElizabeth May.This brilliant,

articulate politician hasalways been a championof the environment.Unfortunately, with only twoseats, Green Party poweris limited, not only overenvironmental concerns butover all the government’squestionable economic andsocial policies.

Now, we have theconsummate opportunityfor change.We have threestellar candidates in ourarea — Ken Melamed, abusinessman and formerWhistler mayor whobrought the message ofenvironmental respect andsustainability to the worldduring the Olympics, Claire

Martin, an award-winningmeteorologist and LynneQuarmby, a highly respectedSFU scientist.

Which major partywill win the election isunknown, but should it bea minority government,a dozen new Green MPswould considerably bolsterElizabeth’s clout.

Sceptics who say: “AGreen vote is a wasted vote”need reminding that threehave already been elected.

This is not the time tovote for a party out of asense of loyalty. It is a criticaltime to vote for the planet.Rose DudleyLions Bay

Geography lesson, pleaseDear Editor:

Readers of Mr. Cicha’sFriday (Aug. 21) letter re:gas pump stickers might bethinking that some furtherdisaster in the ongoingdestruction ofWestVanmight be in the works:“…the trees being torn downon the slopes of CypressMountain to make room formore houses.”

What he was referring towas Hollyburn Ridge, whichis the sight that greets uswhen we come back homeover the Lions Gate Bridge— not quite as awful asWestwood Plateau visiblefrom the Port Mann.

Cypress Mountain, asa geographical entity, liesin the Port Moody ForestDistrict, about nine milesfromWestVan, as the crowflies.

“Cypress Mountain,”which appears so oftenin print is actually acommercial ski operationdoing business in CypressProvincial Park — thearea including CypressBowl, and flanked by, westto east, Black, Strachan(pronounced Strawn) andHollyburn mountains.

after it.”Insects in produce is

not common but it doeshappen from time to time,said Steve Chong, managerof environmental health forVancouver Coastal Health.“It’s just the nature ofgrowing produce in fields.Bugs will get into it.Youcan’t easily inspect it and it

might just make it throughthe food process and endup on your plate,” he said.

Subway is likely notat fault, given the insectslikely came in with ashipment of spinach,Chong added.

The Capilano MallSubway doesn’t have ahistory of problems andits annual inspection inMay of this year found

no critical violations,Chong said.VCH willfollow the “food chain”back to the spinachprocessors and will referthe case to the appropriatehealth authority in thatjurisdiction, he said.

Anyone who has ahealth concern raisedby restaurant foodshould contact VCH toinvestigate, Chong said.

There is no writtenrule that all flowerarrangements must be incolour.

In fact, I find thatsome of the prettiest ones,especially in moderndecors, are quite simple andmonochromatic.

I recently came across anall green flower arrangementat a party and loved thesimplicity of it. It’s so easyto assemble and you canchoose whatever favouritegreens you prefer at yourlocal floral supplier.

MaterialsOne clear, circular or

square glass vaseGreen floral (examples:

green hydrangea, greenchrysanthemums, green balldianthus)

Floral preservativeFloral wireSharp floral scissors or a

sharp knifeAspidistra leaves or hosta

Optional: Lily grass andfaux greenery tape (availableat floral supply stores)

MethodClean your floral

container of any dirt ordebris. Let it dry and setaside.

This next step has twooptions.The first is to linethe inside of your clear vasewith the faux, green floraltape.The other option is touse a fresh aspidistra leafor hosta leaf.You will needto trim both options toproperly fit inside the glassvase.

Once you havecompleted this step you canthen fill your vase three-quarters full with roomtemperature water. Setaside.

Does your garden reflectyour political views?

To help figure thatout, I went through apurely metaphysical andexistential exercise tocomplete the hypotheticalpolitical colour of yourgarden. I searched eachfederal political party’swebsite for their principles,not necessarily theirconstitution or policy,

although there is someoverlap in that regard.Each political partyadvocated their principlesin relation to “issues” ofconcern for Canadians.Due to extensive writingsfrom each party it is notpossible to include everysingle party principle inthis column.

Let’s start with theConservative Party ofCanada’s and whattheir garden mightlook like based on theirparty’s principles.TheConservative beliefin “the equality of allCanadians” was temperedby their “goal of buildinga national coalition ofpeople who share thesebeliefs and who reflectthe regional, cultural andsocio-economic diversityof Canada.”Therefore,a Conservative gardenwould include plants fromall regions of Canada, aslong as those plants heldthe Conservative belief,meaning maple trees— yes, but cedar trees onlyif there was a species native

to Eastern Canada. “Abelief in our constitutionalmonarchy,” would assurethat a Conservativegarden would include anEnglish rose and perhapsclematis as long as theclematis behaves.TheConservatives also believe,“Responsible governmentmust be fiscally prudentand should be limitedto those responsibilitieswhich cannot bedischarged reasonably bythe individual or others.”Meaning Conservativeswill sell you competitivelypriced plants but theylikely won’t help plantthem.They also believe“the greatest potentialfor achieving social andeconomic objectives isunder a global tradingregime,” which meansthe plants in their gardenmay be supplied frominternational sources.And pesticides will besold regardless of long-term health effects in theenvironment — to assuregood international tradingrelationships. And under

Bill C-51 some plants maybe monitored or undergoa background check whileliving in the garden.

A Liberal Party ofCanada garden, based ontheir party’s principles,might look something likethis.The Liberals believe“a long-term vision isimportant for a sustainablesociety at home andabroad;” therefore, theirgarden would be designedto mature in 20 or 30years, unlike the averageof 10 years.This wouldmean wide spacing ofprimary plants with lotsof filler in between untilthe main plants mature.Liberals are stated asbeing “compassionate andresponsible social stewards,committed to providinga good and fair balancebetween the economy andsocial justice.” Accordingly,their garden would containmarijuana for personal use,but not for commercialsale. And plants wouldhave to be obtainedfrom fair trade sources.A Liberal garden mightinclude the sugar maple(Acer saccharum), whichmost closely resemblesthe leaf on the Canadianflag. Liberals also believe:“Social, economic andenvironmental issuesare interconnected andsociety is strengthenedwhen we take action onall three.”Therefore,their garden would allowthe use of organic orenvironmentally friendly

fertilizers and pesticidesas long as those productswere manufactured inCanada. And since “everyperson has the right tobe heard and representedin a democratic society,”according to the Liberals,plants in their gardenwould be spaced so thateach plant had its ownroom to grow and could beeasily seen from anywherein the garden.

An NDP Party ofCanada garden, based ontheir party’s principles,might look something likethis.The NDP espouses,“Human and civil rights,including equal rightsfor LGBT citizens,people with disabilities,workers and aboriginals.”Therefore, an NDP gardenmay include clematis inthe gay pride colours, awheelchair ramp, socialworkers to help everyoneunderstand what thepurpose of gardening is,and partial ownership ofthe garden by Aboriginalsunder treaty. Gardeners inthe NDP garden would bepaid higher than the privatesector gardeners next door,so you could be assured ofa high-quality, unionizedgardening crew to carefor the plants. Marijuanawould be allowed in theirgarden, as long as youtake a one-week courseon how to properly usemedical marijuana. Plantsin the NDP garden would

We alwayswork with highly

people.

When it comes time to select acontractor to build or renovate, homeowners are faced with almost limitlesschoices. Finding the real value – abalance between cost and quality – canseem elusive. Some ‘budget’ builderswill underbid to get the work, thendeliver an inferior finished project.

The difference is in the details.

John Pratt of North Vancouver’s StraightEdge Renovations understands and hasbuilt his career as a skilled tradesmanand project manager on honesty, qualitycraftsmanship and attention to detail.

“Quality is our bottom line,” saysJohn. “We believe that quality detailingdramatically improves the look andfunction of our jobs.”

Having been in home construction forover three decades, he knows the valueof a well-built project.

“A well-built, complete, long-lastingjob has to be properly executed andcoordinated with all the trades fromstart to finish.We always work withhighly skilled and reputable tradespeople.”

Whether it’s a general renovationproject, adding a deck or waterproofingyour home, the team at Straight Edgestands behind their workmanship.

“We have the ability to successfullycomplete the most challenging projectsin a professional and friendly manner.We carry liability insurance and are fullycovered byWorkSafe BC.”

Even if you don’t work with StraightEdge on the initial project, you may endup calling them afterwards.

True CraftsmanQuality

“Most people are unaware of anyshortcomings until problems appearlater.We have repaired multiple jobsby other contractors who have failed toproperly structure or install the rightmaterials. In the end they lacked theskill and perseverance to make it right.”

If you are looking at a residential orcommercial construction project orrenovation, don’t be fooled by the lureof a cheap job. It can cost you a lot morein the end.

crown corporation, co-operative or communitygroup. And seniors,children and workingfamilies would all partakeequitably in the work andfruits of an NDP garden’slabour.

Why serve salmon at Festival?Every year at the Coho Festival people askus why we serve salmon when in fact we aretrying to increase their numbers. Salmon is animportant food source for the sustainability ofhumans as well as animals such as bears andeagles. Strong salmon runs also ensure thatour fishing industry is healthy and prospering.Our entire ecosystem depends upon strongsalmon populations.

All types of salmon provide a good sourceof high quality protein and theheart healthy omega-3 fattyacids. Salmon is also agood source of a variety ofvitamins and minerals.Canned salmon thatcontains bones is also agood source of calcium.

By serving salmon atthe festival, we hope toremind you how deliciousit is to eat and why we

need to learn about the ways we can all do ourpart to protect salmon and their waterways.

This year the Coho Barbeque will offer WildSockeye salmon from Save-On-Foods.

There are many groups on the North Shorethat are stewards in helping our salmonflourish. The Coho Society of the North Shoreuses this festival as a main fundraiser to beable to fund those groups.

We encourage you to come by andlearn about salmon sustainability,

stay for the salmon barbecueand enjoy all the other

wonderful festivities at thisyear’s Coho Festival. Bytaking the time, you willbe a part of the solution toensure our rivers, streamsand oceans are healthy

for the salmon to thrive forfuture generations.

MARK HOOD, contributing writer

When it comes to discussing whatmakes a golf course a true“links”course, much heat is generated, butalas, little light.

According to scottishgolfhistory.org,“a links golf course refers to the type ofsoil and terrain on which it is built. Only17 per cent of the courses in Scotlandare true links courses, though thisincludes most of the historic courses.”

The word links comes from theScottish dialect via the Old Englishword hlinc, which referred to risingridges of coastal sand dunes that wereof little use for agriculture but good for

King Links a classic linkgrazing sheep and absolutely perfect forthe obscure pastime of knocking a littleball around.

By any definition, the only true linksgolf course in Western Canada is KingsLinks by the Sea on the western shoresof Boundary Bay in Delta, just south ofthe Boundary Bay airport. Holes 4, 5 and6 run right along the seafront, separatedfrom the incoming tide by a local publictrail.

Developed in the early 1990s, KingsLinks by the Sea has been under thededicated ownership of the Newellfamily for almost a decade. Brad Newellis an avid golfer and has a strong senseof the game’s history and traditions.

The family have invested significantlyand improved on the original design,drainage and turf care to the pointwhere Kings Links by the Sea is asgood a test of your shot-making andimagination as you will find anywherein the world.

Anywhere else, Kings Links wouldbe regarded as one of the premiergolf destinations available for publicplay.Yet with the embarrassment ofriches available to local golfers andits relatively remote location, it is onecourse of many trying to attract localplayers.

Some golfers are put off by the lack ofa clubhouse.That is about to change.

In about a month, Kings Links’ brandnew 4,200-square-foot clubhouse willopen to the public and provide golferswith a pre- and post-game experienceheretofore unavailable.The viewsfrom the patio of the mountains thatring the Lower Mainland and thetidal flats of Boundary Bay promiseto be spectacular, and I anticipate theexperience inside the building willmatch the view.

I like a course that makes you think,and at 6,797 yards from the back tees,this is a course that gives you plenty tothink about. If the wind is up, you haveto calculate every shot to allow for boththe velocity and direction of the breezeas well as your own natural hook orfade. With the rolling fairways and thickfescue on the verges, it rewards goodshots and makes you pay if you stray.

It had been a number of years sinceI last played Kings Links and arrangedto meet up with friends to see how itwas coming along.The four of us werepart of a group who made the trip toScotland in 1999 to play St Andrewsand Carnoustie.They had never playedKings Links before so I was interestedto get their opinions.

One of the big differences betweenKings Links and other local coursesis the likelihood of having to play in astrong breeze or better. Our tee time wason Saturday, Aug. 29, the day of the bigstorm.

The morning began with a slowdrizzle on the North Shore, but Deltagets significantly less rain than we do,and the closer we got to the course, themore it began to clear.

“Gee,”I said to my companion, DanRothenbush,“I wonder if the clearingskies means we are in for some wind?”

Well.We were joined by friends David

Hanley and Lance Olsen in the KingsLinks parking lot and the wind wasblowing at about 40 kilometres an hour.Swarms of small birds soared in the galeand the wind-whipped fescue whistledand flapped.

We opted, under the circumstances, toplay from the white tees.

Holes one, two and three led us tothe southeast, into the full force of thestorm. I remembered the wind coming

the wind at our backs, tee shots werespectacular but putting was a realchallenge. Carefully judged strokeswith the wind kept running past thehole. Shots against the wind died wellshort.

One of the most delightful sights wasa pair of revetted bunkers to the rightof the landing area on the fairway onthe 495-yard par-5 11th. It remindedme very much of The Spectacles, a pairof fairway bunkers on the 14th hole atCarnoustie in Scotland, and added tothe real links feel of the course.

Scores reflected wind direction:number 12 into the wind, result misery.Number 13 with the wind, resulthappiness.

Revetted bunkers made anotherappearance guarding the 14th green. Bythe time we were on the 14th fairway,rain was added to the elements and justcarrying on was the biggest challenge.

The final three holes, the par 421-yard par-4 16th, the 327-yard par-4 17thand the 375-yard par-4 18th are rankedfirst, third and fifth most difficult on thecourse and would present a significantchallenge in mild weather.

That day, we managed to hold ourown, but we left anxious to return whenthe weather was in a better humour andthe clubhouse was open.

We get spoiled in British Columbia.Most public courses have to be in

into play, but this seemed a littleunusual.Tee shots that would normallygo a good couple of hundred yardshung in the air, were pushed to the rightand died well short.

The opening hole, a 389-yard par-4,was a slight dogleg left and it was allwe could do to keep our shots fromgreedy clutches of the fescue.The forceof the wind even came into play whenputting and you had to calculate yourstroke very carefully.

Holes four through six ran along thebay and by the time we hit the par-3fourth tee, we were getting the hang ofplaying the wind. It was actually a lotof fun. We would each estimate howfar left we would have to aim to makethe fairway and our plans worked outreasonably well.

Hole 7, a 472-yard par-5, led backtoward the clubhouse and the wind wasblowing to the left from our backs. Asmost of us were slicers, it helped keeptee shots long and straight. We walkedoff the green with two pars and a pairof bogeys.

Number 8, a 308-yard par-4, took usback into the wind, but our confidencehad grown and we all recorded bogeys,a very good result in the increasinglystrong tempest.

The back half of the course beganwith the 355-yard par-4 10th hole. With

ASK A PRO-with Bryn Parry

Q:What is the most common mistake peoplemake when it comes to chipping?

A: A very common chipping mistake is for the player touse a club that has too much loft. For example, choosinga sand wedge or a lob wedge will force a shot that needsto be hit with more power and it needs to land closer tothe hole. This shot needs to be hit very solidly to haveenough spin to stop in the space allowed.

When we watch top players hit chip shots they prefer tochoose clubs with less loft and a chip the ball on to theedge of the green and then let the ball roll up to the holeas if they were putting. The loft on the club determineshow much the ball will roll.

This technique will be particularly useful in Vancouver aswe transition into the fall and greens get a little softerand hitting the ball lower and rolling it will producemuch more consistent results.

PARENTING

Familymeetings keepschool year organizedThe first day of schoolcame this week and oneof the big challengesis getting the familyorganized.

When 10-year-oldKaylee has band practicebefore school and 12-year-old Oliver needs apermission slip signed,you want to be calm andcollected.You have a planin place.

On the weekend, whenKaylee is going to bemarching in a parade andneeds to get across townfor 8 a.m. and Cody hasto be on a soccer field at8:30 a.m. you’ll have therides organized. No yelling,scurrying, name-calling andblaming, right?

No?Well, let’s solvethe chaos that can comefrom trying to co-ordinatethe conflicting schedulesfrom today’s busy familymembers.

The trick is regularfamily meetings.We haveall watched a scene in somefamily sitcom or another inwhich there is a problemand someone, usually aparent, yells, “Get downhere, we’re going to have afamily meeting!” Cue laughtrack and you just knowsomeone is going to get intobig trouble. So who wouldever want a family meeting?

Now is a great time toget started to make this anorganized school year forthe family.

This is very differentfrom the idea that familymeetings only happenoccasionally. I recommend

family meetings as a wayto get organized.You canuse family meetings toplan the week, includingall scheduled events,organizing fun events suchas birthday parties or familyoutings and, yes, to alsodeal with conflict.

In terms of your kid’sactivities, you may needto discuss how they’reeach going to get to bandpractice and soccer,whether there’s a car poolarranged and when you’llhave dinner on that busynight. Also on the agendaare chores.Who’ll do whatand when? The more youplan (and yes I am oneof those planning freaks)the calmer things will bearound the house. And,as a bonus, your childrenwill learn to start thinkingahead. If they need aride to an activity, theywill talk about it at themeeting instead of threeminutes before they needto leave the house. And thisplanning will start to bepart of their lives. Not bad,

eh? They may even end upactually organizing classprojects or studying forexams.

There are someconsiderations in orderto have successful familymeetings.

A regular time — weeklyis normally best.This wayit’s not a question of callinga meeting because someoneis upset, confused oroverwhelmed. It’s a typicalthing, it just happens.

Make all participantsequal.This does not meanvoting. It does mean thatall members have equalopportunity to introducetopics and to speak.Decisions are reached byconsensus. If there is nooption (a non-negotiablefamily rule) children canexpress their opinions butmust know that this is anon-negotiable item. Anexample of this might bedrinking and driving or,more prosaically, beingrude to another familymember.

Rotate the chairmanship.Children not only enjoyhaving a turn to chair,they will also learn aboutmeeting procedures andrules.

Build an agenda. Anagenda will keep youon track and organized(remember, organizationis one of the goals of thisactivity!). It’s a great ideato build the agenda duringthe week. So when Duncancomes to you to talk aboutgoing to a volleyball meet,you suggest he add it to

the agenda.The agenda isposted in a public place,like on the fridge, so kidscan access it easily.

Another aspect of agood agenda is timing.Decide ahead of time thelength of the meeting. Ifyou determine it will last 30minutes, the children knowexactly when they can leave.If you haven’t covered allitems by then, either getpermission from the wholegroup to continue or holdsome items over until thenext week.

Take minutes. A writtenrecord of decisions solvesdisputes and permits afollow-up evaluation. Oh,and a real bonus.Yearslater, these minutes are apriceless reminder of thegrowth of your family. Inour home, our minutebooks are as interesting asour photo albums.

Have a follow-up timefor re-evaluation. It is veryimportant for everyoneto know exactly whena decision can be re-evaluated and changed ifnecessary.

Finally, family meetingsare not a time for parentsto dump on the children!Have fun, lighten up, dosome planning and enjoythe time together as afamily.

Kidding AroundAdvertisement

A school teacher once asked North ShoreTaekwondo’s Master Tony Kook howmartial arts schools teach important lifeskills differently than other sports. Shewanted to knowwhat kids would learn intaekwondo that might be different thanwhat they’d learn in soccer, baseball orhockey.

The difference, he said, is in the approach,“There are only so many ways to kick andpunch, but a great martial arts school isgoing to use those as tools, use thoseas means to develop life skills,”he says.“In other sports they’re going to learnrespect in indirect ways.We do it in a very,very direct way.”

Kook says that teaching life skills is atthe core of his school’s martial artscurriculum. Rather than using mat chatsto talk about confidence in the abstract,the school discusses concrete examplesof how students can integrate the themeinto their daily lives, such as putting their

hand up in school when they know theanswer or saying no to peer pressure.

“We try and teach them how to speakup,”says Kook. “Confidence teaches youthere’s never a wrong time to do the rightthing.”Monthly themes are the focus ofthe character development portion of thecurriculum.

“The classes are tremendously fun, they’revery safe and they’re age appropriate,” saysKook. The school has an average ratio of10 students per one instructor, allowingfor one-onone interaction and support.

“We’re truly here to really, really helppeople to achieve goals and improvequality of life,” says Kook. “We’re just usingtaekwondo as the tool to get there.”

North Shore Taekwondo offers classesfor children aged 4 to 6, youth aged 7 to13 as well as teens and adults aged 14and up. Classes operate on a monthlymembership basis.

Kids and adultswill geta kick out of Princess PThe Princess and thePony by Kate Beaton(NewYork, Arthur A. LevineBooks) $20

Princess Pinecone wantsa horse for her birthday,but not just any horse.

It must be a big, strong,fast horse befitting herwarrior status. In Beaton’shilarious picture bookthe king and queen aimto please their warriordaughter, but failmiserably to produceanything like the hoped-forpresent.The present, anepic fail, turns out to be ashort and extremely smalland pudgy pony. But “youcan’t say no to a birthdaypresent” so Princess Ptries to make the best of it.

The day of thescheduled battle arrives,tickets are sold and inthe midst of crazy andsilly mayhem the hithertountrainable pony revealsa hidden and unexpectedtalent. A totally surprisedprincess realizes her

pony is the best presentever when the pair areawarded the Most ValuableWarriors.

There are lots oflaughs in both the textand illustrations.Thepony (which incidentallyfarts a lot) is of theadorable stuffed-toyvariety compared with thesupercilious steeds riddenby the adult warriors.The warriors are a motleycrew who wage battlewith dodge balls, spitballsand hairballs when they

aren’t beating their chestsand hurling other peoplearound.

The cartoon-like illustrative styleexaggerates the goofinessand provides lots ofhumorous details forreaders to enjoy.

Young admirers of bothponies and princesses willlove this book and adultreaders will appreciate the

fact that Princess P is agreat role model.

Fran Ashdown was thechildren’s librarian at theCapilano branch of the NorthVancouver District PublicLibrary. She didn’t have ahorse as a child but is allowedto ride her daughter’s horse(under strict supervision).For more details check yourlocal libraries.

With the exception oftravel-related culinaryadventures, I find itincreasingly rare toencounter somethingcompletely, unequivocallynew to me when I dine out.

There are many fantasticriffs on themes, to be sure,and I do often marvel at thecreativity exhibited by localchefs as they dish up theirinspired takes on provenrecipes, but scarce are theoccasions on which I amcompletely left withoutcontext or comparison whenserved a dish.

The so-called BubbleWaffle, however, a HongKong and Macau-inspiredtreat that resembles a goldenbrown rectangle of fragilegoods packaging, wascompletely new to me whenit was presented at Zestea, abustling, charmingly brightand insouciant little bubbletea, smoothie, shake anddessert joint on LonsdaleAvenue at 15th Street.

I visited Zestea late on aweekday evening with mywife DJ and kids in tow.We were lucky to find aseat in the busy restaurant,which seems to host a broaddemographic of patrons, allunited in their apparentlyinsider knowledge of justhow fun Zestea and theirimprobably enjoyablereinvention of waffles can be.

We ordered a round of

shakes to start, generouslyportioned, thick and frosty,boldly flavoured beveragesto which you may addall manner of tapiocapearls or fruit jellies. Ourunanimous favourite, thevibrantly orange-colouredmango slush, came dressedwith a dollop of whippedcream and an assortmentof berries. I opted forpassionfruit-flavoured jelliesto accompany the mangoconcoction and foundtheir perfumed, slightlytangy flavour to be a greatcomplement to the drink.Another slush, this one withNutella and banana, pairedwith custard-flavoured jellies,whipped cream, chocolatedrizzle and a wonderfullyindulgent frozen profiterole,was like dessert in a cup:rich, creamy and eminentlyshareable (I’d be hard-pressed to down an entireone of these on my own).

DJ’s drink, malted, milkyblack tea over ice, was amore adult affair, complexlysmoky and less sweet thanthe other beverages, with adistinctly tannic finish.

Now, about thoseBubbleWaffles.Thesehouse specialties, made toorder, are thinly pressed,slightly chewy, slightly crispypastries (think Indian dosarather than Belgian waffle)that have been cooked ona double-sided iron withspherical sockets.Theresulting waffle, which sortof looks like a miniatureegg carton, and is lovelyin its subtle, not-too-sweetcharacter, is served on acurious, delicate woodenplatform that makes thewhole affair feel very exotic.To eat the waffle, you simplytear off a sphere or two anddip the light pastry into anaccompanying sauce; Zesteaoffers either strawberry orcaramel sauces, both of

which are whipped andcreamy.

In addition to the originalBubbleWaffle describedabove, we also sampled aBubbleWaffle Sundae, whichinvolved waffle spheres piledinto a tall cup, perched on abed of crunchy corn flakes,interspersed with ice cream,chunks of banana, andchocolate drizzle, served witha long cookie straw.The kidswent to town on the sundaeand have become championsof the unusual treat withintheir circle of friends. Othersundae options includestrawberry and mango.

Beyond its sweetofferings, Zestea servesone savoury dish, salt andpepper-tossed deep friedchicken nuggets, which therestaurant’s staff tell me aremade in house, also to order.

Our dessert of shakes,waffles and sundaes was $28.Zestea is located at 1544Lonsdale Ave.

Another school year is upand running, and mostparents are familiar withthe plaintive cry of kidsreturning home from aday of hitting the books:“I’m hungry!”

Rather than reachinginto the freezer for additive-loaded microwaveable junkfood, try one of these easy-to-prepare snacks that kidswill love.

They’re portable too, soif you have soccer/hockey/football/gymnastics on thecalendar after school, youcan pack these along.

Granola Nugget Bars

¼ cup butter2½ cups old-fashioned oats½ cup sliced almonds1⁄3 cup honey¼ cup packed brown sugar½ tsp vanilla¼ tsp salt½ cup chopped driedcranberries¼ cup mini chocolatechips

Preheat oven to 350º F.Toast the oats and almondson a foil-lined baking sheetfor seven minutes. Removethem from the oven andtransfer them to a largemixing bowl.

In a saucepan overmedium heat, melt togetherthe butter, honey, brownsugar, vanilla and salt,stirring until the sugar iscompletely dissolved. Pourthe mixture over the oatsand almonds.

Stir together untilcompletely combined withno dry spots.This willtake two or three minutes.Add the cranberries and

chocolate chips and stiragain until combined.

Spray the inside of twoplastic ice cube trays lightlywith nonstick spray. Pressthe granola mixture firmlyinto the ice cube trays; letthe nuggets cool completelybefore removing them fromthe trays. Store in an airtightcontainer or plastic foodbags in the refrigerator.Makes about 24 nuggets.

Easy Cheesy Crackers

1½ cups grated, sharpcheddar cheese4Tbsp butter, softened, cutinto four pieces¾ cup all-purpose flour½ tsp coarse sea salt1Tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Using a pastry blender,combine the cheese, butter,flour and salt in a large bowluntil mixture forms pea-sized crumbs. Stir in themilk and form the doughinto a ball using your hands.

On a lightly flouredsurface, roll out the doughto one-eighth-inch thickness.With a pizza cutter (ormini cookie cutters tomake it more fun), cut thedough into small shapes.Place the crackers on anungreased baking sheet,leaving about one-quarter-inch space between them.

decidedly opulent quality to the place, captured, in part,by the dinner menu, which includes dishes like sustainableWhite Sturgeon Caviar, King Crab Rockefeller, andWagyuBeef Striploin priced at $19 an ounce.This latter was ondisplay in glass-ensconced, illuminated jewel cases situatedat the entrance to the restaurant, perhaps giving a knowing,insider nod to the valueVancouver puts on exclusivefoodstuffs.

The restaurant also offers more accessible fare, suchas pasta (Trattoria fans will be pleased to find the popular

Truffled Spaghetti and signature meatballs on the menuhere), salads and a long list of goodies cooked on theaforementioned robata grill, including various prized creatureparts like beef tongue, pork cheek and lobster tail.Thevariety makes the very polished Glowbal a suitable home forbothVancouver’s scenesters as well as confirmed foodies.glowbalgroup.com. 604-602-0835

Chris Dagenais served as a manager for several restaurantsdowntown and on the North Shore.A self-described wine fanatic,he earned his sommelier diploma in [email protected]

Bake for 10 to 12 minutesor until edges of crackersare golden brown. Placethe baking sheet on a wireto cool. Store crackers ina sealed container at roomtemperature.

AwesomeTrail Mix

2 cups popped microwavekettle corn style popcorn½ cup whole, naturalalmonds½ cup honey-and-nutflavoured “O”shapedcereal¼ cup banana chips¼ cup dried cranberries orblueberries¼ cup semi-sweetchocolate chips

Mix all ingredientstogether in a large bowl untilwell combined. Package half-cup servings in individualsnack-size plastic food bags.Makes eight servings.

Apple“Cookies”

1 large, crisp apple1⁄3 cup peanut, almond orcashew butterToppings: Chopped driedcranberries, cherries orblueberries, mini semi-sweet chocolate chips,chopped toasted pecans orwalnuts, granola

Use an apple corer

to remove the core fromthe apple. Slice the applecrosswise into thin rings (abit less than half-an-inchthick). Spread one sideof each ring with peanutbutter, then sprinkle on anassortment of the toppings.

Serve immediately orplace each “cookie” in asmall plastic container (ifyou’re not going to servethese right away, it’s a good

idea to brush the appleslices with a 50/50 mixtureof water and lemon juice sothey don’t go brown). Makesabout four to six cookies,depending on how big theapple is.

This season the NorthVanWolf Pack will test the oldsports cliché that the onlything harder than winninga championship isrepeating as a champion.

As tests go, however,this one will certainly bedemanding.TheWolf Pack,coming off their first-everPacific Junior HockeyLeague regular season andplayoff championships, willattempt to reach the topagain this year except they’llbe without their top sevenscorers from last year.

PJHL superstars suchas Spencer Quon, whoholds most of the team’sall-time scoring records, histwin brother Dyllan Quon,captain Brodyn Nielsenand last year’s scoringleader Mitch Crisanti allmaxed-out their junior B

eligibility, while youngsterssuch as Alex Ambrosio,Henry Cleghorn, MatthewHermary and Scott Munroeparlayed strong rookieseasons with the Pack intopromotions to the junior Alevel.

The departures extendonto the bench as well withMatt Samson, the onlyhead coach and generalmanager the franchise hasever known, moving on totake an assistant coachingposition with the MerrittCentennials of the BCHL.

Elias Godoy, entering hisfourth year with the team,has taken over GM dutieswhile maintaining his spoton the bench as an associatehead coach. Bayne Koen,who joined as an assistantcoach last season, will takeon head coaching duties.

With all that turnoveryou could forgive the teamfor setting their sights a little

lower than last year, but thatis definitely not the casewith theWolf Pack this year,according to Godoy.

“We’re the team to beatbecause we won it lastyear,” he says. “We’re goingto have that target on ourbacks, but we’re excited forthe challenge. Our goalsare to be right back wherewe were last year and justhave a better showing atCyclone.”

That would be theCycloneTaylor Cup,the provincial junior Bchampionship tournament.After winning the PJHLtitle last year theWolf Packfinished fourth out of fourteams in their first trip tothe CycloneTaylor Cup.

The team knew thatseveral of those playerswould not be back this yearbut the big surprise camein late July when it wasannounced that Samson

— the man who built theteam from scratch alongwith his father Dean, whois staying on as the team’sCEO — would not becoming back for the 2015-16 season.

“My initial thought wasit’s a lot more work for me,”Godoy says with a laugh,recalling the moment hefound out Matt was leaving.“I was excited for him. It’sobviously a big thing for

him and his family and theorganization to see himmove up the ladder andgo on to the next level.Obviously it’s somethinghe’s looked forward to for awhile here. It’s exciting. Meand Matt grew up togetherso I’m excited for him andhis family. And I’m excitedfor the new role for meas well. Getting into GM

stuff is something that has alwaysintrigued me and I was excited totake on that role.”

Godoy and Matt Samsonworked as a coaching team duringtheir three years together and thattype of system will continue withKoen as the head coach, Godoysays.

“I’ve known Bayne probably15 or 20 years,” he says. “We’llcontinue to do the same thingsthat me and Matt did….We makeall the decisions together — it’sjust more paper pushing for methan Bayne.”

Koen’s coaching helped theteam claim its first title last year,Godoy says.

“He was a big part of the team.He helped out with the D corp,he comes from an experiencedbackground coaching andplaying hockey. It was big for usto have him and knowing thatwe had a team that could win achampionship and go the distance,having that experience on thebench helped us as well.”

On the ice the coaches willbe counting on forward NyshanBasra and defenceman ShaneKumar, two 20-year-olds in theirfinal junior seasons, to lead theway.

“They’ve been around the

league, played for us a few years,know what’s expected,” Godoysays, adding that Kumar will wearthe captain’s C.

“He’s a very passionate player,very solid on the back end. Gooddefensively, and then has thatoffence ability, which is hard tofind — A lot of guys are either oneor the other, defensive or offensive.The fact that he can do both,like a Dyllan Quon last year, it’shuge to have that back there.Wecan rely on him for big minutes,especially down the stretch thisyear. He’s a big guy, he likes to laybody. He can get out there andcalm things down when the gamegets a little wild at times.”

Other leadership will comefrom a group of second- andthird-year players includingforwards Mitchell Ledyard, IanCreamore and JacksonTadeyand defencemenTroy Ring andConnor Pasco.

“We’ve got a good, youngcore,” says Godoy. “Our youngguys from last year, this is the yearthey’re stepping up and going tobecome leaders….We’re lookingfor them to show the rookies howthings are done.”

One area where there will bea lot of continuity is in the creasewithTrevorWithers, last year’sstarting goaltender, back withthe team. In the regular season

Withers was top-four in the leaguein wins, save percentage andgoals-against average and he keptit up in the playoffs, posting a 12-3record with a 2.56 goals-againstaverage and .913 save percentageduring the championship run.This yearWithers will be backedup by Brock Leach-Moore, whoperformed well when he saw someaction last season as an affiliateWolf Pack player.

The team’s rookie crop isheadlined by defencemen ShaneKime and Samuel Atkins.

“They’re good players, (we’re)excited about them,” says Godoy.

“Offensiveguys, goodspeed, seethe ice well.Kind ofsimilar players,

actually, which is interesting.”Slick forward AidenWagner

and basher Caleb Holonko areexpected to provide an impact upfront, Godoy says.

“I think fans are going to like

(Holonko). He’s a hard worker,likes to lay body.”

The team has already playeda pair of exhibition games againstthe Langley Knights — a 4-3overtime loss on the road and

6-2 win at home — andwill begin the season onthe roadThursday againstthose same Knights.Thehome opener is scheduledfor Saturday starting at 7p.m. against the AbbotsfordPilots at Harry Jeromearena.

“The team is lookinggood,” says Godoy. “Wehave a lot of speed.We’relooking to play a fast gamethis year, quick transitionsand just get on the offencewhen we can.We have a lotof D-men who can movethe puck and a lot of speedup front.That’s a goodcombination.”
