Some West Vancouver residents, however, expressed concern about the idea of housing police and fire together in the event of a catastrophic disaster that could leave both services stranded in one building as opposed to spread out around the community. But West Vancouver’s director of planning, lands and permits, Bob Sokol told The Outlook that such fears are unfounded because any major disaster would affect all of West Vancouver much the same. “It would only be different if they [police and fire services] were really, really far apart, and not across the street,” he said. Other locations favoured by the district for one or both of the first responder services are 15th Street at Fulton Avenue, the West Vancouver Tennis Club site, Park Royal North, the former West Vancouver fire training ground below Hugo Ray Park, the Kiewit site at Westport Road and the West Vancouver district operations site on Cypress Bowl Road. Ultimately, it will be Mayor Michael Smith and the district council’s decision where to locate or co-locate West Vancouver’s police and fire headquarters. That decision is expected to be made shortly after June 18, when district staff present council with the community feedback received from all of the public open houses, as well as letters written to staff and the results of a two-week telephone survey of 500 random West Vancouver households beginning on June 1.

est Vancouver’s longawaited public safety building debate is underway with district staff hoping to convince citizens, stakeholders and council that a new joint police and fire services headquarters beside district hall is the best option for the community. On Thursday, May 17, West Vancouver held the first of three open houses to answer residents’ questions about the replacement of the crumbling Fire Hall No. 1 at 760 16th Street and the past-itsprime police station at 1330 Marine Drive. Both Ambleside-area structures are seismically deficient as postdisaster buildings and would collapse in the event of even a moderate earthquake, according to district staff. And so, West Vancouver has allocated a cost estimate of $39.5 million for the replacement of both buildings by 2016 at the earliest. The questions yet to be answered are not ‘if’ and ‘when’ the buildings will be replaced, but rather ‘where’ and whether or not both services could be combined into one public safety building to save on the costs of construction and operations. “That’s the district’s preference, having police and fire together,” West Vancouver district spokeswoman Jessica Delaney told The Outlook at the May 17 open house in the Kay Meek Centre. “This is the most cost-effective way; to have two first responders in one disaster-safe location,” she added. The district estimates it would need approximately 58,000 square feet of floor space to house both the police and fire services in a single building adjacent to the district hall at 750 17th Street.

SEAN KOLENKO » STAFF REPORTER

North Van lawyer Jim Hanson says it’s time for North VancouverSeymour to make a change

nowing what one’s legacy will be is a difficult proposition. Impossible, almost. Establishing it takes so much time. Year after year, chapter after chapter — school, degrees, jobs, kids, mortgages — there’s rarely a chance to step back and reflect on it all. Less even, if changes should to be made. But that doesn’t stop us from wanting to know, does it? “I’m driving my then 12-year old daughter to synchronized swimming lessons and she asks me about homeless people and I was shocked in my own lack of engagement on the issue,” says Jim Hanson, B.C. NDP candidate for North VancouverSeymour and a Blueridge resident. “I didn’t know what to say. But the answer is not why, but what I’m going to do about it. Things seem to be getting worse. What will my generation’s legacy be?” And with that revelation, a husband,

father of two, partner in a large Surrey law firm and marathon runner turned his attention to politics. Hanson, who secured the NDP nomination last year, paints an interesting political figure. On one hand, he’s driven by social concerns, in particular, the pronounced inequality he sees in society. But he’s also a businessman, familiar with the entrepreneurial experience and economic aspirations shared by so many. And it’s that breadth of scope that Hanson thinks will serve him well as the looming provincial election draws closer and his campaign heats up. “I think the biggest misconception of the North Vancouver-Seymour riding is that people focus on economic well-being rather than a social or environmental mandate,” he says. “I understand the economic realities as a self-employed person. But as a New Democrat, I understand we’ll all be better off when we address social issues.” In April, the NDP formally opposed Enbridge’s controversial Northern Gateway project — the proposed construction of twin pipelines running from central Alberta to Kitimat. The environmental risks of the job, which include construction in parts of the Great Bear Rainforest and the introduction of tankers to a sensitive part of the B.C. coast, outweigh the financial benefits of the plan, according to the party. And while political opposition to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline has grown in recent months, the New Democrats have not taken a position on that issue as yet. But Kinder Morgan’s plans, if approved, would mean an increase in tanker traffic in the Burrard

Inlet, which the North Van-Seymour riding borders. As such, Hanson says any pipeline project must include stringent environmental concerns, regardless of whether it crosses untouched forest or dense urban areas. “As the lawyer for the surviving passengers of the Queen of the North [the BC Ferries vessel that sank in 2006] that struck an island for no apparent reason, it is going to be hard to convince me that increased tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet doesn’t carry environmental risks,” says Hanson. “Accidents do happen. That has to be weighed against economic benefits. Are the economic benefits felt here? The environmental risks are here. There is no such thing as foolproof shipping.” Whether or not Hanson’s, or the NDP’s,

And with the polls painting a pretty rosy picture for the party — support for the NDP reached 50 per cent amongst decided voters this month — Hanson says it is an exciting time to enter public life, even if his riding hasn’t historically been a hotbed of New Democrat support. “It [North Van-Seymour] went NDP once on Aug. 29, 1972,” he says, smiling. “If it can happen once it can happen twice.”

Argyle is part of the $1.3-billion Editor: On May 11, it was announced that the province committed funding to seismically upgrade Argyle secondary. It is important to note that this

commitment to replace or upgrade 152 high priority schools identified provincewide. When I first ran as a MLA in 2009, North Vancouver had just finished the construction of brand-new schools in Lynn Valley, Highlands, Sutherland, and Westview, as well as the seismic upgrades at Windsor, Carisbrooke, and Canyon Heights. Since then, Ridgeway has been completed and Carson Graham, Queen Mary, the new school board office, and Artist for Kids Gallery are under construction. In addition, my daughter joins her class and soccer teammates playing on the new Windsor artificial turf field and track. The latter project was an example of a great partnership between all levels of government, as well as a private company, working together to bring a community project to fruition. Since 2001, the province has provided $87.7 million for 16 capital and seismic projects and another $195,000 for full-day Kindergarten conversions — in North Vancouver alone. All this in a school district with declining enrolment. I am proud of what the school district and province have been able to accomplish in this last decade for all of the students of North Vancouver. Jane Thornthwaite MLA for North Vancouver-Seymour

hey say all that glitters is not gold, but when it comes to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, that simply isn’t true. Last week, at the stunning West Vancouver waterfront home of Goldcorp CEO Ian Telfer, invited guests raised a glass to one of this year’s most important — and most glittery — upcoming fundraising events. Committee members from the Heart of Gold gala were on hand for a pre-gala toast to emphasize the importance of sudden cardiac arrest and remind everyone that every second counts in the event of a heart attack. The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s 8th annual Heart of Gold Gala will be held June 1 and it’s already sold out! Also last week, West Vancouver Mulgrave student Adam Chandani was out with his student committee fundraising for a good cause. The group held a silent auction evening event at the school which raised money for the World Partnership Walk and the Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC). One hundred per cent of the money raised here goes towards improving the lives of people living in the Third World. Congrats to all involved.

What's in a name? A history lesson

tudents at Gleneagles elementary wrote their names into history last week, each autographing a large cedar carving commemorating the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption of its new First Nations name. Following a naming ceremony on Thursday, the school is hereon known as GleneaglesChâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;axay, the latter being the centuries-old title for the Horseshoe Bay area where the school sits today. Pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;CHUCK-hi,â&#x20AC;? the name is a vocal approximation of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sizzlingâ&#x20AC;? sound made by the once abundant herring that spawned in the waters of the bay, according to S7aplek (SOPluck), a Squamish cultural advisor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many fish that you could walk upon them and not fall in,â&#x20AC;? a Squamish elder told the hundreds of attendees at the naming ceremony in the Gleneagles gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would hold your weight up when you walked across; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the herring were in this area.â&#x20AC;? That fishy abundance was also the inspiration for the three-metre cedar carving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of two plaques carved for the school by renowned Squamish artist and recent Order of B.C. recipient Xwalacktun (huh-LACK-tun). For weeks before the naming ceremony, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been toiling away on the two fish-and-eagle carvings under a schoolyard awning, patiently fielding questions from curious kids and even letting some students â&#x20AC;&#x153;take wood awayâ&#x20AC;? if they felt up to the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take all the credit,â&#x20AC;? Xwalacktun humbly told the gathering of 250 students, their teachers, municipal officials and Squamish elders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the kids.â&#x20AC;? Unveiling the artworks, Xwalacktun described how the inspiration he took from the school translated into the hand-carved cedar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to symbolize the movement, the swirl, the power that these little fish create and make all this sound and echo off the mountains,â&#x20AC;? he told the attendees. The school ceremony marked a change in more than name alone, suggested B.C. Lieutenant Governor Steven Point, who told those gathered that the move represented a change of heart and a break from tradition between the two intertwined communities of the Squamish Nation and West Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could have turned your mind away; you

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to begin this journey,â&#x20AC;? Point told Gleneagles staff and West Vancouver school board officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now you can see the result of that idea.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening a trail now, a trail that I think will lead to this school for young people of the Squamish Nation. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to add a few more rooms, I think. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to add a longhouse, I think. So that these stories can carry on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these stories about the bay.â&#x20AC;? The renaming ceremony was the culmination of an aboriginal-focused curriculum that Gleneagles-Châ&#x20AC;&#x2122;axay principal Scott Wallace said involved kindergarten to Grade 7 students in everything from dances to potlatches, singing, headband weaving and learning local First Nations history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unique part about it is we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a significant aboriginal population at the school,â&#x20AC;? Wallace told The Outlook in an interview at the school early last week. In fact, GleneaglesChâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;axay has only two students who identify as First Nations, Wallace said, both of them MĂŠtis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing awareness to the whole community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These symbols mean something. They stand for something,â&#x20AC;? the B.C. Lieutenant Governor continued at the assembly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you children I hope will one day learn about these things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the eagle,â&#x20AC;? Point said, considering the bird for which the school is named. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great Eagle guided our people for so many years since the time of The Flood. Still honour the eagle.â&#x20AC;? Andrea Smith, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher-representative for the co-naming ceremony told The Outlook the response from her students and their parents to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Squamish title has been nothing but positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fascinated by what was here before the houses and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made this place more honourable in their minds,â&#x20AC;? she said. S7aplek told The Outlook that while the herring of Horseshoe Bay havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite recovered to the great numbers seen before the bay was settled, the fish have been making a valiant comeback over the past few years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with them have come the seals, dolphins and killer whales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horseshoe Bay is a nice name, but I can tell you I like this one much better,â&#x20AC;? the Lieutenant Governor said in closing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say it, Châ&#x20AC;&#x2122;axay!â&#x20AC;?

Allergies

are a modern epidemic

It really works! 100% natural. Try it risk free. Relief Guaranteed or Money Refunded!

#24

Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech and gives a refund guarantee.

STRESS & ANXIETY By Dr. C. Hammoud, M.H., Ph.D. Recommended for its calming relief from chronic stress, anxiety, chronic fatigue, lack of motivation, inadequate feelings, compulsive disorders, eating disorders. Helps to restore adrenal balance, mental well being. True evidence (Skeptics can call these people): For about 3 years I was stressed out. After starting #66 I’ m fine. I don’t get headaches anymore caused by stress. I’m more effective at work. I’m amazed. It changed my life around. Gerasimos Kallimikos, 25, Astoria, NY At times was completely non-functional. After taking 2 capsules within 1 hour “the fog had lifted”. I take some daily and had no relapse for 4 months. Maureen Lavallie, #66 67, Red Deer, AB No sedatives needed anymore. After taking #66 I felt a calm sense of being not sedated as before but full of energy and able to cope balancing my many jobs, children, household and going to school. Highly recommended! Diane Lovato, 54, Norwalk, CA I have tried other calming products. for 10 years. Bell #66 is the best. OwenA. Miller, 49, Rossiter, PA Read the Bell website for many more testimonials and other important information. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

NV Archives feels the pinch after federal funding cut SEAN KOLENKO S TA F F R E P O RT E R

ompared to many of the small, volunteer-run community archives found throughout B.C., the North Vancouver Museum and Archives is a lucky place. Headquartered in Lynn Valley’s spacious Community History Centre, the NVMA enjoys the relative luxuries of paid staff, spacious offices and an associated charitable organization, the Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives. But the NVMA, along with community archives from coast to coast, is coping with a new, grim financial reality after funding for the National Archival Development Program was cut last month. Established in 2006 — although the federal government has been giving money to archives since the 1980s — the NADP was tasked with disbursing funds to each of Canada’s provinces and territories. It was then at the discretion of the provinces to dole out the money according to the grant proposals submitted. Each individual community archive awarded a grant was expected to match any money received by at least half. For 2012/2013, $1.7 million was to come from Ottawa to the NADP. Of that total, $117,000 was earmarked for B.C. About $50,000 of that money was to be dispersed to individual archives and $67,000 was to go to the Archives Association of BC, a provincial body in charge of advi-

sory services for member archivists, a preservation service for materials and maintaining the online archival database, Memory BC. “We depended on that funding this year. We wanted to hire a contract archivist to arrange and understand a new collection,” said Janet Turner, NVMA archivist. “It has 10 metres of linear shelf space worth of materials.” The collection in question — what Turner called “a jewel in the crown” — is the records of the BC Mountaineering Club. Dating back to 1907, the mountaineering club kept ample photos, journals, and glass slides, some of which came from famed mountaineering couple Phyllis and Don Munday, who lived in a cabin on Grouse Mountain. Due to some timely support to the NVMA, the BC Mountaineering Club materials will still be made available. But, according to Turner, it will be reduced in scope. “With the archival material, we can describe the project as a whole and some of the groupings within it,” said Turner. “But maybe not as granular as we’d like.” To mitigate the funding loss, NVMA director Nancy Kirkpatrick said the organization has plans to work closely with the Friends of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives Society to increase memberships and donations. An online petition to restore the funding has also been started. A link to the petition is available at archivesnext.com.

Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, #39 Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different.

Longboarders do North Shore proud at international race North Vancouver’s Rayne Longboards came out on top at 11th annual Attack of Danger Bay in Pender Harbour TODD COYNE S TA F F R E P O RT E R

t was a wet and wild weekend of racing on the seldom suitably named Sunshine Coast. But North Vancouver’s Rayne Longboards certainly proved worthy of their namesake, braving the slop to clinch four top spots in the 11th annual Attack of Danger Bay longboard race in Pender Harbour. As more than 200 skaters and hundreds more spectators and sponsors descended on a treacherous and rain-ravaged 1.6-kilometre downhill course Sunday, longtime North Shore rider and returning Danger Bay champion Kevin Reimer was a clear favourite to win the men’s division and, with it, the $1,000 purse. But speaking to The Outlook before hitting the start line for the finals, the Rayne-sponsored skater cited the greasy conditions for some conservative performances in the course’s hay-lined corners as racers

RAYNE-ING CHAMP - West Vancouver’s Kevin Reimer cruises to victory in one of the men’s semifinal heats at the Attack of Danger Bay on Sunday.

braced to preserve life and limb. Last year, Reimer, 22, broke both his tibia and fibula during a practice run before a similar competition in Britannia Beach. Quick off the starting line, the former North Vancouverite — who now calls West Van home — took a commanding lead over his fellow finalists but lost his footing while pushing out of the infamous “carnage corner” with only one turn to go. Regaining his board, Reimer cruised into a disappointing third-place finish but it was a loss tempered by the one-two showings of fellow Rayne teammates Patrick Switzer of Ontario and Danky Dean of Brazil. The local team spirit carried over into the women’s final too as the Rayne team’s Anna O’Neill of Calgary placed second overall. “Rayne’s high performance team continues to maintain top spot in the world’s downhill competitions,” Rayne employee Aaron Enevoldsen told The Outlook in an email from the North Vancouver shop. “It really showed at Danger Bay this year when we had a 1st, 2nd, 3rd podium sweep in the men’s category, and a 2nd place in the women’s.”

www.northshoreoutlook.com continued from, PAGE 4 in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. A good portion of Carson Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success provincially at the senior level is due to those whose introduction to the sport came at Balmoral. That includes the following who have represented Canada at one time or another as players with the national senior, under-21, U-20 or U-19 teams (or even as coaches in the case of Tim Murdy and Rod Holloway, Balmoralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding student of 1961): Chuck Anderson, Andrea Burk, Chris Burk, John Granander, Kevin Guidi, Ron Johnstone, Tom Larisch, Kelly McCallum, Mike McDonald, Craig McLaren, Garth Prouse, Tony Scott, Erika Shand, Matt Yanagiya, Brandon Van Euwen and Aaron Vani. While there have been few Balmoral rugby championships

since 2000, the void has been filled most notably (beginning in 1998) by five of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 all-time NS junior girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; field hockey titles and a dominating nine girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and five boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrestling team championships. Despite the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious limitations with no Grade 11-12 students, the girls were first in the team standings at the B.C. high school wrestling championships in 2007 and the boys finished as high as fourth in 1997. A number of the field hockey elite have gone on to play at universities across North America: Amanda Bird, Johanna Bischof, Brooke MacGillivray (co-outstanding student of 2004), Stephanie Madsen, Maggie Rebalski, Holly Stewart and Emma Watt. Wrestling guru and Balmoral coach Ian McDonald was a driving force in getting girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrestling programs started in B.C. schools. He attended Hamilton and Carson Graham as a student, began teaching at Balmoral in 1985 and lives just a quick over-and-under lateral drop to a pin

Some from other sports should be noted too, such as European pro basketball player Joanna Smith, Kurt Chapman of the 1984-86 Edmonton Eskimos and two-time Olympic water polo star Susan Gardiner.

Happy trails to you Shore Bike Camps teach young riders biking skills and respect for the environment AFIE EBRAHIMI STUDENT REPORTER

iving on the North Shore, the great outdoors is our backyard — literally. So, what better way to spend the summer than biking the trails of Seymour and Fromme? Shore Bike Camps offers a variety of programs for children of all ages throughout the summer, starting July 2. The various camps offered include Tykes on Bikes, designed specifically for riders aged 3-6 who are looking to lose their training wheels and join other riders on the “big kid” trails. And for the “big kids” the Summer Freeride Camp is available for anyone eight years or older.

Running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, this camp is open to riders of all abilities. The riders will be split into different groups according to experience and skill, with no more than six students per instructor. The camp will take riders through the trails of Seymour and Fromme, as well as through various bike and jump parks around the North Shore. For the rider who isn’t quite up to a full day of hard biking, the Mountain Riders Camp will take riders through the same experience as the Freeride Camp only for a shorter day. Visit shorebikecamps.com or call 604-9290718 for more information. newsroom@northshoreoutlook.com

nature with different themes for each day of the week. On Mondays, kids are made ‘wildlife rangers’ for a day, feeding the animals and exploring the mountain from the perspective of the mountain inhabitants. Tuesdays are all about wilderness survival, preparing children for the wilderness if they are ever caught in a tough spot. Feathers fly on Wednesday as kids meet all the birds Grouse Mountain has to offer and get hands-on workshops. Thursdays are perfect for the kids who want to explore everything, showing the how-to and behind-the-scenes workings of the mountain resort. To wrap up the week, children will start off Fridays with a Squamish elder, and finish the day with the lumberjacks. “Our summer camps have been carefully created to teach kids about the world around them, create a love and respect for the outdoors,” says Grouse GM Michael Cameron. “Our Refuge for Endangered Wildlife provides the perfect platform with unique wildlife such as timber wolves, grizzly bears, barn owls and hummingbirds to help children discover and discuss their planet’s future while giving them a once in a lifetime experience.” Wilderness summer camps are available during July and August and run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. five days a week for all nine weeks of the summer. Five-day packages and single-day bookings are also available. To book a summer camp, call Grouse Mountain Guest Services at 604-980-9311.

Making over a North Van house into a modern, family-friendly paradise MAGGIE CALLOWAY CONTRIBUTOR

s we so often find, here is a family who loves their North Shore neighbourhood but the house, approximately 50 years old with one partial renovation in the 1990s, was tired. Enter Kennedy Crawford Design of North Vancouver who designed the project — specifically Catherine Brown, who worked with the family very closely during both the design and building process. David Adair of Blackfish Homes and Construction, also based in North Vancouver, was brought into the project to do the actual build. “This is a family of four who enjoyed their home but the whole main floor needed a major renovation to bring it up to today’s standards,” says Adair. “We virtually pulled apart the whole main floor. The original main floor consisted of much the same rooms in the same place. They had a pretty big garage with a small flex space; they weren’t really using this space so we took over a section of the garage and extended it to make a mudroom entry. In the family room we pushed the back wall, the TV wall, back right to the exterior wall to create the space we needed.” The original flooring was a mixture of tile, vinyl and carpet; this was unified throughout most of the rooms with hardwood, which made a huge difference. Vinyl tile was used in the new powder room and mudroom. “In the formal living room the floor was leveled to match of the rest of the area. The fireplace is original but the hearth and pedestal had to be adjusted to the new level of the floor,”

Adair says. “The rest of it was just freshening up with new wall colour, addition of wallpaper, new ceiling fan and lighting. The dining room had a french door from the hallway so we opened everything up to make the flow better. We brought the new flooring through and again just freshened everything up with new wall colour, wallpaper, lighting.” The powder room is a good size, but it was gutted and the flooring once again brought through. The new modern vanity and toilet match the new style; there are no jarring accents just a smooth flow to all the rooms including this one. The kitchen and family room is perfect for this family. This is definitely the heart of the home where everyone spends their time. “We really enjoyed this whole project. The family was excellent to work with,” Brown says. “Our client had a very good handle on what she wanted to achieve, particularly regarding the kitchen. She knew very clearly how she wanted to function in that space and how she wanted it to work for her family, then left it to us to bring it to life, giving feedback as the project proceeded.” This kitchen is one of Brown’s favourites. “This is a very large space. You can make spaces look too modern so we like to bring in pieces to soften them, give them more warmth; the barn door was part of bringing in interest,” Brown says. “We really like to find unique pieces; the island is an example of this. We had the design in our mind then had to go and find continued, PAGE 26

The funny thing is we had that exact pattern in our original drawings so it was great to find the exact match. We used Caesarstone on the surrounding counters and the backsplash above the stove is a mosaic white marble which adds a bit of an interesting accent. The stove is Fisher & Pykel, the jewel of the kitchen.” Brown says the client was good about communicating her master plan for the kitchen and how she wanted to use the space, which made her job easier. “Every bit of the kitchen and

www.northshoreoutlook.com family room, from the wall of storage cupboards with so much detail in the cabinetry, to the fabric chosen, to the colour of the stone, it all had to work together. We have an eye for detail right down to the hardware on the barn door to the faucets, the tile, every single detail is gone through so there are no jarring notes and everything flows,” she says. I must say I love the barn door in the kitchen. I’ve seen them used before but often the room just can’t carry the size and heft but in this instance, with such a large space, it makes sense and looks spectacular. There is no doubt the success of this project is in how the family uses the whole space.

Reimagining the woodshed MAGGIE CALLOWAY CONTRIBUTOR

hat do you use your garden shed for? Is it a spot to store the lawn mower and garden stuff? Have you converted it into a home office at the bottom of the garden for your dream spot for writing your first novel? Maybe it’s your new chicken house if you live in a spot where urban chickens are permitted. Whatever you use it for, garden sheds have always held a special spot in our hearts; we have always thought of new possibilities for the small space. If you are an avid watcher of British home and garden shows, as I am, we have probably had a good laugh at the same time when a realtor, showing a client a property complete with a broken-down shed with the roof caving in,

points out the potential of converting the relic into a pool cabana. Did you know in the U.K. a person over-fixated on building sheds and hanging out in them is referred to as a “Sheddie?” And in New Zealand there is a bi-monthly magazine called, what else, The Shed, directed mostly at ‘blokes’ who do shed-related DIY projects. Obviously there is a world-wide culture surrounding sheds, and something about them that fires the imagination. I first thought about writing about sheds when I came across a team building a new chicken coop at SAINTS, an animal sanctuary where I volunteer. Father and son John and Mike Hynes have teamed up and created Rainforest Sheds to build not just chicken coops but a variety of garden sheds, horse

barns and dog houses, among other projects. John says there is a growing interest in sheds of all sorts. “If it’s feasible to build we can build it; almost every job is unique,” John says. I must say I am very impressed with the quality of their work. I even found, in my research, a Northern Territories government fact sheet called “When is a shed not a shed” which lists the difference between a house and a shed. Who would have thought there needed to be clarification? There is a whole new world out there! Sheds have even moved into the music world. To woodshed, or ‘shed,’ in jazz jargon, is “to shut oneself up, away from the world, and practice long and hard, as in ‘going to the woodshed’.” newsroom@northshoreoutlook.com

Renovating on a budget With a modest budget and a lot of determination, Laura Lee and Jacqueline turned their drafty little pre-war bungalow into a warm and cosy retreat. They learned how to insulate and make other energy efficiency upgrades. And, they’ve proven you don’t have to spend a lot to save a lot. “You can spend less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit and significantly change the comfort of your home,” says Jacqueline.

Meet Michele. She’s a FortisBC customer who believes in conservation and reducing greenhouse gases. She drives a fuel-efficient car, grows her own vegetables, and turns down the heat whenever she can. And now, she’s a FortisBC renewable natural gas customer.

“It’s an easy thing I can do to be a little bit more green. I’m helping to reduce greenhouse gases, and it’s terrific to get a reward for it too.” Michele, Mission, renewable natural gas customer

Renewable natural gas is natural gas…but better Instead of coming from the ground, methane gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Before it escapes into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured and cleaned up. Then, FortisBC adds it into their pipelines, giving British Columbians renewable energy.

How it works

Carbon neutral

For about $5 a month, you can designate 10 per cent of your natural gas usage as renewable. FortisBC will then inject an equivalent amount of renewable natural gas into their system.

FortisBC’s renewable natural gas has been designated as carbon neutral in B.C. by Offsetters (Canada’s leading provider of carbon management solutions). Customers who sign up receive a 10 per cent credit on the B.C. carbon tax.

Earn AIR MILES® reward miles FortisBC is thanking customers like Michele with up to 150 AIR MILES reward miles per year when they sign up by July 31, 2012: †* v 30 Bonus reward miles when you sign up before July 31, 2012* v 10 reward miles for each month you’re signed up† Already an RNG subscriber?
