North Shore nations united in pipeline protestSquamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations sign declaration to stop Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion

TODD COYNES T A F F R E P O R T E R

Saturday brought strange traffic to Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine oil tanker port, as

two North Shore First Nations put paddle to water to protest the com-pany’s plans for pipeline expansion.

The on-the-water ceremony was the culmination of a canoe jour-ney that saw dozens of paddlers from both the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations shove off from West Vancouver’s Ambleside Park and traverse the inlet under police and harbour patrol escort to the tanker port at North Burnaby.

The boats carried copies of a dec-laration that would later be signed by chiefs from the two nations, affirming their opposition to both increased industry on Burrard Inlet and to increased tanker traffic on the south coast B.C. waters known collectively as the Salish Sea.

“It is a desire of Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh to work cooperative-ly in a mutually supportive manner to stop Kinder Morgan’s proposal to expand the Trans Mountain pipe-line which terminates at the Burrard Inlet and to stop increased oil tank-er traffic in the Salish Sea,” the dec-laration read in part.

It’s the second anti-pipeline docu-ment signed by the Tsleil-Waututh in as many months, after the nation ratified the Save the Fraser Declaration banning oil sands pipe-lines from First Nations lands on July 7.

Hundreds gathered at North

Vancouver’s Cates Park to wel-come the paddlers and witness the signing, including New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart, in whose Burnaby-Douglas riding lies the tanker port and part of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton.

“My constituents have told me loud and clear they’re very support-ive of this [protest],” Stewart told The Outlook. “Here we have really historic rivals, the Squamish and the Tsleil-Waututh, coming together now against the Kinder Morgan expansion and it’s quite significant.”

Stewart has applied for interve-nor status at the National Energy Board’s hearings on the doubling of the Trans Mountain pipeline, a status which, if granted, would allow him to present arguments and information to the board and cross-examine fellow participants.

In the meantime, Stewart is echo-ing federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair’s calls for a reversal of sorts on the pipeline debate.

“We support pipelines flow-ing east across Canada,” Stewart said. “This is because 85 per cent of the oil that’s used in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces is imported. So we’re saying that instead of exporting this oil sands oil to Asia, we should be making it flow east to keep our Canadian refineries alive in central and Atlantic Canada.

“West Coast pipelines are highly questionable,” he added.

If Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain twinning project is approved, it would increase the flow of oil from 300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 by 2017, and increase the size and number of tankers plying the waters of the Burrard Inlet and coastal B.C.

Spirit Community Garden @ Park Royal (Phase 1 / 3)

The Great Canadian Landscaping Company has formed a new unique partnership between The Edible Garden Project and Park Royal Shopping Centre and in doing so is focusing on setting a stage to educate the commu-nity on responsible and sustainability gardening practices for today and in the future. As a lot of people may be aware, Sub(Urban) Gardening this past year or two has been front page news and at the forefront for local and national media, as well as accepted normal practice for many leading develop-ers, municipalities and schools throughout Metro Vancouver and North America. Farmer markets have gone from being perceived as unlicensed cagey operations, to down beat trendy, successful, highly profi table licensed operations. We feel the movement of families successfully harvesting from their own suburban backyard for themselves and the community is naturally just around the corner and though this partnership we can help get the message out about food security in our community.

Arthritis not just an old person’s disease For Arthritis Awareness Month, organizations are

working to dispel myths about the disease affecting

more than four million Canadians

TODD COYNES T A F F R E P O R T E R

At just 28 years old and engaged to be married in the next two months, Sarah Minton is in the prime of her life. So it’s no wonder the fit North Vancouver social worker gets

weird looks when asking for someone else’s seat on the bus.

Overcoming others’ disbelief in her disability was one of the last hurdles she, like hundreds of thou-sands of young Canadians, had to left to climb after coming to terms with it herself.

“Many don’t feel disabled enough,” Minton tells The Outlook in a Lonsdale Avenue coffee shop. “Because arthritis is invisible, you don’t accept it.”

But the fact is arthritis affects more than four

One-day strike hits government

‘No more falling behind’: BCGEU boss

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

A one-day strike Wednesday saw 27,000 unionized government

workers walk off the job in a bid to apply more pressure in nego-tiations with the province.

Courts, jails, ICBC offices and government liquor stores were among more than 1,700 affect-ed worksites, although essential services will be maintained.

The Sept. 5 job action was ordered by leaders of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU), the Professional Employees Association and the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union.

“We do not take this action lightly,” said BCGEU president Darryl Walker. “There will be no more falling behind for government workers.”

The BCGEU is seeking a 3.5-per-cent pay hike this year and a cost of liv-ing increase in 2013, following the expiry of its last contract on March 31.

The province had offered two per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in the second – a package Victoria has since taken off the table.

The union contends its members lost ground against inflation over the past two years due to the previous contract signed in 2010 under a net-zero mandate as B.C. was struggling to recover from recession.

“We took two zeros in 2010 and 2011 that really look at a wage cut of around five per cent when you look at the cost of living,” Walker said.

The government has countered it made a fair and reasonable offer given that B.C. remains under fiscal pressure due to the lacklustre global econo-my.

Smaller single-day strikes have been staged at more selective public sec-tor targets earlier this summer.

The BCGEU has also proposed fiscal reforms such as Sunday liquor store openings and the use of sheriffs for traffic enforcement.

million Canadians aged “two to 92” and is expected to grow by three million new diagnoses over the next 20 years, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.

It’s fitting then that the Arthritis Society chose September’s back-to-school season for Arthritis Awareness Month.

“One of the biggest myths out there is that this is an ‘old per-son’s’ disease,” said Arthritis Society spokeswoman Joan Vyner in a press release last week. “The fact is that arthritis is one of the leading causes of disability in Canada.”

For Minton, the stress of going back to school and the painfully repetitive motions of note-taking in class fueled her illness, she recalled.

“It’s a rough time to have arthritis but there are resources out there.”

The problem for most is building up the courage and the know-how to access them.

“Many people don’t feel disabled enough to use the disability cen-tre at the university,” Minton said. “That arthritis was a disability took me a while to get my head around. But once I did, it made a world of

difference for the rest of university.”Minton now organizes monthly

meet-ups for young arthritis suffer-ers in Vancouver where they discuss day-to-day challenges like riding a transit bus or going to work and ways to overcome them.

More than a quarter of all Canadians with arthritis between the ages of 25 and 44 don’t work because of the disease, costing the Canadian economy more than $33 billion in health-care costs and lost work days every year, according to the Arthritis Society.

“If we don’t get people to pay attention, the problem is going to get far worse.” said Vyner. “We have to educate people about the dis-ease.”

The Lions Gate Hospital is part-nering with the Arthritis Society to host a free public forum discussing the disease from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6 in the Lions Gate Hospital gym. Register by calling 604-714-5550.

“How many old ladies do you know who get paid to swear for a liv-

ing?” It’s a question I’d never before

considered, but when 89-year-old Jean Hamilton asked, the answer was clear: “Not nearly enough.”

The North Vancouverite is best known as Ethel Herman, the sweet but slightly off-her-rocker granny from a series of fiercely funny TV spots for Frank’s RedHot sauce.

Each of the five commercials riffs on the same gag: A priest, a pensioner, the Queen or a similarly prim and proper character compli-ments Ethel on her cooking before the little old lady explains her secret’s in the sauce: “I put that sh—t on everything,” she exclaims, the offending word bleeped out.

The role has garnered the nearly 90-year-old knitter more than a little fame and has led to starring roles in other ads too, including for Taco Bell, the PNE and the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy.

“It’s a good thing I’m not teach-ing Sunday school anymore,” she tells The Outlook over coffee and muffins in her North Vancouver home.

While Hamilton never swears in public, she does so privately on occasion “when something goes wrong,” particularly in the kitch-en, she says.

“But I listen to some people in the malls and buses and if they couldn’t interject the F-word, I doubt they could ever express a thought,” she laments. “They use it as an adjective, a noun, a verb, an adverb, a participle; they go right through the whole gamut and I don’t even think they’re aware of it.”

What Hamilton does swear by, however, is her own good luck at hav-ing been “discovered” by the Frank’s RedHot talent scout, despite not having done a lick of acting since a high school play some 70 years prior.

It’s an incredible story and one Hamilton will relay in its entirety this Friday, Sept. 7 at a seniors infor-mation fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the John Braithwaite Community Centre. Asked whether she has any advice for all those fellow “late bloomers” out there, Hamilton says the key is to never stop learning and never stop doing new things.

Having grown up through the Depression, Hamilton says her newfound money and fame — or “infamy,” as she insists — hasn’t changed her much. She won’t be caught cruising in a pink

Cadillac or harbouring dreams of Hollywood any time soon. She’d love to travel a bit, but finds modern air travel “utterly miserable.”

“I’m still me — that person who’s always been involved in things,” she says. “The money certain-ly has helped immensely but my lifestyle hasn’t changed much.”

One thing that has changed in Hamilton’s life since springboard-ing into popular culture on a pitch-perfectly delivered cuss word, is her cooking. From soups to stews, cakes to hot cocoa, Hamilton

practises what she preaches and really does put Frank’s on and in everything. So much so, and in such inventive new ways, that when asked if there may be a cookbook in the works, Hamilton becomes uncharacteristically cagey.

“I really can’t talk about those things right now,” she says.

— LETTER TO THE EDITOR—Public auto insurance still best value for customers

Re: “ICBC Mishandled,” North Shore Outlook, 23

Anyone who thinks privatizing ICBC

is the answer to higher rates must not have taken a look at comparable auto insurance coverage or the even more excessive executive salaries in the private sector. Independent studies by Statistics Canada and the Consumers Association of Canada have shown public auto insur-ance gives the best value to customers. Since ICBC was established on March 1, 1974, British Columbians have enjoyed reduced insurance fraud, safer roads and lower rates. Part of this is because, ICBC was designed to operate on a non-profit, break-even basis.

So where is the real issue? Executive salaries at ICBC are too high and should be dealt with, but that’s only exacerbated in the private sector.

The biggest problem at ICBC, is that the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s break-even mandate. Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2 billion from the corporation’s coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze and B.C. drivers to pay high-er insurance premiums.

That money isn’t even going into improving roads or transportation – it’s going into general revenue.

If there are any savings coming out of the government review, how do we know they won’t just be funneled right back into government coffers? British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized workforce at ICBC from falling further behind.

When Manitoba’s public insurer was found to have overcharged its customers, they gave everyone a rebate.

The government’s mismanagement of ICBC hurts both their employees and B.C. drivers. Siphoning off ICBC’s prof-its was never what was intended for our public insurance corporation.

‘Bubs’ and the Crowhurst nine She got the ball rolling so to speak and was a

big hit at the end

The most successful team in the his-tory of North Shore sports has to be the Crowhursts ladies’ softball team

of the 1950s. And it’s all because of “Bubs.” Sort of.

Bubs was both Bubs Emberly and Bubs Robinson growing up – a story in itself – and then Bubs Lakey after she married Bill Lakey in 1956. They were classmates at North Van High in the 1940s. Bubs’ real name was Rosemary (after Rose and Mary, her grandmothers) but even she doesn’t know how she came to be Bubs. She was just always Bubs.

Okay, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. You want to know about Bubs and the North Van Crowhursts softball squad, a team that terrorized oppos-ing pitchers from here on down into the U.S. and back, winning six straight B.C. senior “A” women’s cham-pionships from 1952-57.

Bubs was playing on a North Van senior “B” team called the Angels and working at a job pumping gas at Crowhurst Motors on the east side of Lonsdale at 17th Street. Jo Crowhurst (who ran the gas station while brother Pat operated the collision repairs shop in the 1600-block) would go to Angels games to see Bubs play.

The Angels had no business sponsor, but Jo was suitably impressed with the team and when Bubs suggested that Crowhursts might like to sponsor the team, Jo became

the Angels’ angel. “I got her to come down to the games,”

Bubs tells me this week. “It was me that got her to sponsor us. She was really good to us [as a sponsor]. We were covered medically when nobody else was. We were sponsored very, very well.”

The team changed its name to Crowhursts and entered the Vancouver-area senior “A” circuit, playing home games at Norgate Park and attracting players such as Gerry Gilmore and Shirley Topley from the Vancouver side of Burrard Inlet and, later, players like Laura Malesh from as far away as Saskatchewan. Topley, a first baseman and occasional pitcher, parlayed her success with Crowhursts into a stel-lar playing career in the U.S. and eventual appointment as a coach with the United States national team in the Pan-Am Games and Olympics.

Soon the Crowhursts were competing in the elite Pacific Northwest League against teams from Washington and Oregon, often fin-

ishing first or second, and in the world championships in Orange, California (1954) and Portland (1955).

All the while, as players came and went, the constant on the team was Bubs who played centre field.

It was 55 years ago on the Labour Day weekend of Sept. 1-2, 1957, that the Crowhursts had their final hurrah. That’s when they captured their sixth consecu-tive provincial crown by beating Victoria Polyettes in the capital city in three games: 10-3, 4-0 and again 4-0.

It’s the time of the year when collector car owners everywhere pull out the Turtle Wax to polish their chrome for show-and-shine events. Recently, a small group of enthusiasts gathered in North Vancouver to toast one of

the rarer breeds of automobiles. The Lower Mainland Vega Club got a perfect sunny day for its 23rd annual Vega Club Picnic event at Waterfront Park. And as they popped their hoods and fired up the grill, it was only a matter of moments before classic car lovers started to appear with their cameras to snap photos with some of the sexiest car models from the 1970s.

B Posing next to their black ’73 Astra are Norm and Deb Ferreira. C Originally from North Vancouver, Darren Trim, pictured here with his red hot ’76 Vega, has fond memories of cruising through the local hood. D Lower Mainland Vega Club president Trevor Mueckel ordered up a perfect day for the car show event complete with sunshine and good friends. E Thirty years ago, North Vancouver’s Dave McLean had some help from fellow club member Duncan Menzies to build his classic ’75 Vega. F No need to be blue when you have a car this cool! Duncan Menzies attracts a lot of smiles with his ’73 Vega. GOwners of a ’77 Vega and a ’76 Astra respectively, club members Steven Menzies, left, and Ed Neville get a perfect day to showcase their cars.

Don’t be afraid of chardonnay MICHAELA GARSTINS T A F F R E P O R T E R

Heavy oak and rich buttery fla-vour force many wine drink-ers to steer clear of chardon-

nay. After all, who wouldn’t want to drink a light, fruity sauvignon blanc during the warm sum-mer months?

Choosing a good chardonnay takes more effort and a deeper pocketbook than opting for, say, a rosé or pinot grigio. Go too cheap and that easily detectable fake-vanilla taste quickly ruins a bottle.

That’s why it’s easy to ignore char-

donnay when a good bottle of patio-ready sauv blanc under $15 is sitting on the shelf.

But the often overlooked grape offers flavours not found in other wines. And it definitely doesn’t have to be oaky or buttery, if a more clean, fresh taste is what you’re after.

Chardonnay is a hardy grape and the most com-mon in produc-tion today. In fact, it is grown nearly everywhere wine is

produced. To give it that oaky flavour, char-

donnay is often treated in oak casks,

but oak flavour is poured into the cheapest brands.

While some people like it oaked, many producers are opting for stain-less steel casks to please customers who will do anything to avoid the taste. But not so fast.

There is one more thing to be wary of when dealing with chardonnay: Like other white wines, chardonnay needs to be served at the proper tem-perature.

Unlike sauv blanc, which can taste good right out of the freezer, this more finicky grape is often best served a bit warmer.

“I often hear people say ‘I really like this wine when I get down to the last 10 per cent.’ That’s because it probably should have been served seven degrees warmer,” says Chris Sharpe, a wine specialist at Everything Wine in North Vancouver.

“The use of inexpensive oak can give it a fake taste that’s not that great,” he adds after leading an hour-long lesson on the ins-and-outs of chardonnay.

Three factors will contribute to the taste of your bottle of chardonnay, he says.

1) The weather 2) The grape vari-ety 3) Its terroir — the characteristics of where the wine is grown, such as climate and slope of the vineyard.

To avoid disappointment, all these aspects need to be taken into consider-

ation when picking your next bottle. If it’s a not-too-heavily oaked char-

donnay you’re after for the next dinner party, here are a few recommendations:

Bodega Cantena Zapata Almos Chardonnay 2009 - Argentina $14.99This reasonably priced wine has peach, butterscotch and herb notes, with a sub-

tle taste of vanilla. It’s a less expensive version of the 2008 Catena Alta Chardonnay, which is pro-duced by the same vine-yard and goes for $39.99.“You’d find this quality chardonnay at about twice the price in California or Burgundy,” says Sharpe while carefully pouring a glass of the Alta at the tasting seminar.

Foxtrot Chardonnay 2010 - British Columbia $54.99 Hailed as one of B.C.’s best, this chardonnay has aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and vanil-la with subtle hazelnut. Light green apple and pineapple flavours make it a perfect pair-ing with West Coast seafood dinners.“Top restaurants always have this in stock because it pairs well with our local food,” Sharpe says. Like other B.C. chardonnays, he predicts this one will cellar well for five to six years.

McGuigan Bin 7000 Chardonnay 2010 - Australia $17.99For those who like a bit of oak, this medium-bodied wine will do the trick. Its fruit-driven taste with notes of peach and citrus balance well with the slight oak influence. It is best paired with seafood, especially lightly buttered scallops, or cream-based dishes.

Wind Gap “Yeun” Chardonnay 2008 - California $66.99Oak-be-gone: The large concrete eggs surrounding this Sonoma County vineyard may look pecu-liar, but they are a handy way to store the wine, keeping it away from oak at all times. The complex palate features powerful fig and truffle notes, along with pear, whitepeach, honey and mineral aromas.

Persian flavours Competition among central Lonsdale’s Persian restaurants and shops can be tough, but newcomers prove the market is still growing

Pirashki, a sweet round Persian pastry, is just one of 70 dif-ferent sweets lined in tidy rows at Jalal Darvishi’s bakery in North Vancouver.

Its custard filling, freshly made and piping hot, has a hint of rose water, a distinctive flavour made with rose petals commonly found in Iranian cuisine.

The popular doughy dessert originated in Russia, but when it arrived in Iran bakers were quick to switch the original meat and cabbage filling with something sweet.

“And now we’re changing it again to suit the Canadian mar-ket,” Darvishi tells The Outlook over warm pirashki and coffee at Golestan Bakery in the 1500-block of Lonsdale Avenue.

To appeal to health-conscious Canadians, he makes the pastry cholesterol free and eases up on the sugar.

Sitting in front of small cookie pyramids while dressed in a white chef’s jacket, Darvishi is clearly an experienced baker. He learned the trade at his parents’ bakery in Tehran, Iran at a time when there weren’t any pastry schools in the Middle Eastern country.

Fast forward 20 years: Darvishi has carried on his family’s culinary traditions while incorporating modern touches and European techniques.

He opened Golestan Bakery two years ago in central Lonsdale, surrounded by other Persian restaurants and shops.

With three other Persian bakeries nearby, Darvishi doesn’t mind the competition.

“I have to make the best food with the best quality ingredients and really listen to what my customers want,” he says, adding they demand a wide variety of pastries, including gluten-free and vegan cookies.

After scouting out locations for his bakery, Darvishi settled

on Lonsdale because of its central location and large Iranian-Canadian population.

But his business cannot survive off Persian customers alone. He estimates around 60 per cent of his customers are non-Per-sians who enjoy his European-influenced baking or traditional Iranian desserts, especially baklava, layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with honey.

“We try to be very welcoming. There are people who come here for coffee every day to see us, when they could be having a drink at any coffee shop on Lonsdale.” says Darvishi, referring to a woman who just popped in to grab a cup.

The bakery’s business hours — he’s open to 10 p.m. every night — could also be a reason for his success.

Little IranThe North Shore has seen a burst of new shops offering

Persian food and ingredients pop up over the last few years, including grocery stores, kebab restaurants and a tea house.

But the busiest area is central Lonsdale, from 13th to 19th street, where more than a dozen Iranian shops sit, often replac-ing old businesses that couldn’t survive tough economic times.

To market North Van to tourists, Lonsdale Avenue was dubbed “Little Iran” in pamphlets for the 2010 Olympics. And the cluster of stores in one of the North Shore’s most bustling communities isn’t a coincidence. According to Statistic Canada’s 2006 census, 10 per cent of North Vancouverites are Iranian-Canadian and, other than English, Farsi is the most common mother tongue by far, beating runner-up languages including

Korean, German, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin and Tagalog (Filipino).

Around 10,000 Iranian-Canadians call the North Shore home, including 15 per cent of West Van residents, mak-ing the Lower Mainland one of the most popular places for Persian immigrants to settle.

But these numbers, which according to reports have likely climbed in the five years since the last census results, could be low in the first place because some Iranian-Canadians may be hesitant about sharing person-al information.

With a high Persian population and other well-estab-lished ethnic stores, central Lonsdale Avenue was a per-fect fit for Ayoub Hosseini, owner of Ayoub’s Dried Fruits & Nuts on the 1300-block of Lonsdale Avenue, who opened his store three years ago.

Like Divarshi, Hoesseini knows he must constantly be at the top of his game to survive, offering quality products at reasonable prices.

“We wanted to provide something unique and have a store that people will walk by and say ‘Wow, we want to go inside,’” he tells The Outlook at the back of his shop while munching on pistachios that were roasted on-site the evening before.

Traditional Persian archi-tecture with elegant columns and chandeliers surround dried nuts from 20-plus countries, including almonds, sunflower seeds, cashews and pecans, which sit in intricately designed metal pots at the front of the store.

The atmosphere, says Hoesseini, is one of the rea-sons customers first notice his shop.

He opened on Lonsdale Avenue because of the area’s large Iranian-Canadian population, but also wants to attract non-Persian peo-ple. Around 30 per cent of his customers are non-Per-sian, he estimates.

“It is a niche market,” says Hoesseini’s son and CEO of the company, Armir. “It’s never been done here before.”

With the help of a similar store in Iran and an attached factory, the family has been able to keep the price of their dried fruits and nuts down to compete with big chain stores.

“We roast the nuts right here, so they’re really fresh. Other nuts are often roasted at least two months before,” Amir says, adding that the exact recipes are a family secret.

Since Amir’s father immigrated to Canada eight years ago, he has opened two locations, including one on Denman Street, and will be opening a third in Kitsilano.

“We try to bring new products, like dried mulberries, that a lot of people haven’t tried. They’re filled with antioxidants,” says Amir, emphasizing they pick the most popular nuts and fruit sold at their store in Iran and fly them to B.C. overnight.

Still room for moreIn a diverse community that has long been hailed as

home to great sushi, stir fry, pad Thai and curry dishes, Persian food is a relative newcomer.

But more and more North Shore residents are trying tra-ditional Persian food, often opting for beef and lamb kebabs

served with steamed rice and a whole grilled tomato. Mo Talebpourazad, owner of one of the North

Shore’s first Persian restaurants, says Iranian-Canadians expect excellent food at good prices, so quality is a must for any successful restaurant.

Opened in 1994, Persepolis Restaurant and Lounge nestled on the corner of 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue was one of the first places to try Persian cui-sine in Vancouver.

Talebpourazad has done extensive renovations since he bought the restau-rant 18 months ago, turning it into a fine-dining spot, perfect for a romantic lunch or a evening out with friends to watch live music and belly dancers.

The restaurant serves a Persian buffet and Western food including a daily steak and potato special.

“We have some people walk in here who haven’t tried Persian food, but they can try a bit here and there at the buffet. It’s a good way to introduce Canadians to our food,” Talebpourazad says during a lull between his lunch and dinner rush.

Unlike East Indian cuisine Persian food isn’t spicy, he says, putting to rest a common miscon-ception. Instead, spices such as zafra and dried lime are commonly used, giving Persian food a dis-tinctive flavour.

Kebab is one of the most popular foods on the menu, says Talebpourazad, because a lot of people can’t cook it well at home.

“It needs to be barbe-cued, and you need to know how to cut it or it won’t taste right or stay on the stick. The meat has to be cut against the grain and marinated properly,” he says, adding a trained kabob cook comes to the res-taurant specifically to prepare the meal.

Although other Persian dining spots line the streets on central Lonsdale’s six blocks, Talebpourazad says his restau-rant’s approach of an upscale environ-ment keeps it competitive.

But there is still room for newcom-ers. Bahram Mehrabi, co-owner of Zeitoon Restaurant on the 1600-block of Lonsdale, opened up shop last summer.

Focusing mainly on kebabs — there are 15 different kinds — his restaurant has been able to compete with longer estab-lished businesses, he says in a private meeting room at the back of the restau-rant.

Mehrabi and his business partner Reza Vojdani, both university engineer-ing grads, decided to open the restaurant when they saw an opportunity for anoth-er Persian restaurant on the North Shore.

Like the other business owners, Mehrabi told The Outlook competition can be tough — there is another Persian restaurant a few doors down — but says his product is unique enough to fill a gap.

“We have great quality and mix Western and Persian culture together so we appeal to a lot of people,” he says.

And Mehrabi has been busy so far. As soon as the interview finishes, he has to quickly make his way downtown to stop by his newest restaurant on Denman and Pendrell Street.

Appropriately enough, it was Bubs Lakey – the only player remaining from the team’s senior “B” days – who was the hitting star. She contributed seven hits (almost one-third of the team’s total of 24) over the three games. Shirley Topley had five hits including a three-run homer in the opener. Ev Bonneville pitched the first and third games, giving up just nine hits. Awilda “Willie” Minette won the second-game shutout, a five-hitter.

Not long afterwards, due to the high costs of travel and other expenses, Crowhurst Motors had to withdraw their sponsorship. Players drifted away to other teams. The Crowhursts era was over. Bubs retired from the game. She now lives in White Rock where she and Bill (who passed away last year) lived most of their married life.

“I could bunt and get to the base on time; an awful lot of my hits were bunts,” she recalls, think-ing back more than half a century to her timely hit-ting in Victoria. Then she offers another little story. “That was the time when I was expecting because I started throwing up on the bench. All of a sud-den I realized, ‘Hey, there’s something going on here, what was it?’” She laughs at the memory. Her daughter Lee was born in 1958.

“Bobby Peters was our coach for six years when we won. He was a really good coach, one of the best you’ll ever get. [Giving signals] he never flipped his hands or arms around. He did it all by his feet. It was where he stood in the [coach’s] box. It was really smart because nobody could read his hand signals because he wasn’t really making them. If he’d stand on the main line you were to bunt right and if he was on the back line you bunted left.” And if he was standing in the middle? “Then you hit.”

So what about her Emberly and Robinson names growing up? “When I was just about a year and a half old, my dad [25-year-old Allan Emberly] went out fishing in Lynn Canyon, fell and drowned. The boots they fill up with water and you can’t get out. He was by himself. It was Depression time so he was trying to get some food I guess.

“That was on the first of June [1933] and Bob [Bubs’ brother] was born on the 10th of June, my mother’s birthday. So we were Emberlys. Mom got

married again [to Albert Robinson] when I was six years old. So, unless we had to sign official papers, we went through school as Robinsons. We lived at 331 East 10th. John and Dan [her Robinson broth-ers] were born later. I was very, very fortunate. I had a really nice family.”

And, you’ll have to agree, a really nice softball career.

This is #467 from Len Corben’s treasure chest of stories – the great events and the quirky – that bring to life the North Shore’s rich sports history.

TIP OF THE DAY: A common question is whether it is better to do your cardio session fi rst or after your weights. Well the simple answer is always do your cardio after your weights. The reason - Unless your goal is to be an endurance athlete doing your cardio fi rst will zap all your energy and consquently will give you a lacklustre performace on your bench press or whatever you had lined up that day. Think of it like this. I got you to run 20km and then had you compete against a guy on squats who just showed up. Who do you think would lift more?So remember nothing wrong with a little 5-10min cardio warm up but leave the cardio session to the end and try not to exceed more than 45 min and get a good sweat going but dont give it 100%. Its all about keeping muscle! Better yet split up your weight and cardio sessions if your schedule allows. More tips at Popeyes North Van facebook
