Port broke promise on North Van hydro consultation: council City councillor calls for civil disobedience to block plans by Port Metro Vancouver and BC Hydro to build new transmission lines TODD COYNE S TA F F R E P O RT E R

“T

he Port has to apologize a little on this one,” came the surprising admission of wrongdoing from Port Metro Vancouver on Monday.

It came from Justin Pedley, the Port’s director of trade areas and infrastructure delivery, at the height of what’s become an almost recurring Monday night showdown between the federal Port authority and North Vancouver city council. This week’s blowup was — like the others — a result of the Port’s expansion around its north-side Burrard Inlet terminals and the Low Level Road realignment project. But this time it was an angry delegation of dozens of historic Moodyville area residents who flooded council chambers to lash out at both the Port and BC Hydro for failing to consult with residents about the installation of high-voltage hydro lines through Moodyville, as they promised they would last June. Apparently the Port and the provincial power company simply announced on March 6 that the transmission lines and towers had already been ordered and that the installation work would begin along Third Street and St. Davids Avenue before the end of the month. Prior to the announcement, residents and city councillors had assumed the high-voltage lines feeding the Richardson grain terminal would be located on Port lands and along the expanded Low Level Road. At very least, council assumed the Port’s promise to consult with residents about the placement of the lines would be honoured. They were wrong, Pedley admitted in his apology. It was an unacceptable outcome, according to all councillors, though Coun. Linda Buchanan was absent from Monday’s meeting. Coun. Rod Clark fired first, citing a twoyear-old city dispute with BC Hydro over changes in plans at a hydro substation just one block north of where the current resident dispute originates. “Be careful with Hydro,” Clark, a Moodyville resident, warned. “Their track record at this council table is dismal, to put it mildly.” BC Hydro responded to The Outlook Tuesday, saying only that questions about the project should be directed to the Port. Still, Coun. Pam Bookham protested loudest, calling for open demonstrations and civil disobedience in the streets of Moodyville if residents’ demands are not heard.

“I believe you’re going to get a very patronizing explanation of why you need to suck it up and allow this to happen in your neighbourhood,” she told the residents. “If I were you, I would be taking to the streets. I would be taking charge of my neighbourhood and making it very, very difficult for Hydro to get in there to do the work that they are inflicting on your community. That’s entirely up to you. But if you’re there, I’ll be there.” An emergency meeting was called for Tuesday evening between Moodyville residents and Port, Hydro and city officials. City staff were directed to examine the input of the meeting and report back to council with their recommendations. But serious doubt prevails among city council as to whether either the power company or the federal Port authority will budge from their Moodyville plans. “So what we should expect from this point forward is, in fact, that there will be options to reroute?” Coun. Craig Keating asked Pedley. “I’m not saying that we will necessarily end up with those options, but that there will be a public process whereby we can discuss options about how we plan a different route that has met the objections up to this stage?” he clarified. “We will listen to the community, present some options, and I can’t promise any more than that,” came the Port’s response, to the disappointment of the residents. Some of those Moodyville citizens who spoke at Monday’s meeting complained that this latest announcement is the fourth bombshell to fall on the neighbourhood from the Port expansion in the past year, and that the scope of the fallout from the project was still anyone’s guess. Residents cited the deforestation of Moodyville Park, the expansion of coal facilities at Neptune Bulk Terminals and the planned $120-million expansion of the Richardson grain terminal — which the city staunchly opposed — as just the opening salvo in the Port’s expansion plans. “How many more changes are coming that we didn’t see when we looked at the Low Level Road question?” Coun. Don Bell asked the Port. “How many more surprises do you have?” It was a catch-22 question and one for which Mayor Darrell Mussatto called down the mercy rule and excused Pedley from answering, having already taken a verbal beating by council and residents. “I get the feeling this is not the end of it,” Mussatto said at the close of the meeting. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com

Opposition to North Van women’s rehab centre falls flat In December, district council opted to hold an “alternative approval process” whereby at least 10 per cent of eligible district voters — about 6,000 people — would have to come out against the new use of the park land in order to block the rezoning motion. According to district staff, opposition to the recovery house has fallen far short of that criteria, with only 180 people formally opposing the recovery house plan as of Tuesday. And so, next month North Vancouver district council will give first reading to an amended zoning bylaw that will allow for a nine-bed voluntary recovery centre to be built and operated on the small central plot of Murdo Frazer Park. “I’ve been driving this for six years,” District Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn told The Outlook last week. “I wanted a detox and recovery centre on the North Shore and I don’t want to send people downtown to the Downtown Eastside for recovery. There’s just too much temptation down there.”

The Turning Point Recovery Society last week presented its proposal and designs for a women’s ninebed recovery house on a corner of Murdo Frazer Park at 2651 Lloyd Ave. Their presentation was followed by a moderated roundtable talk that included residents and District of North Vancouver staff. And while the staff roundly endorse the recovery house plan, some area residents are still split on whether it’s the best use of park land.

And while this recovery house won’t offer a detox facility, it will house residents in a zero-tolerance three- to five-month program for drug and alcohol recovery. “They’re not court-mandated individuals. We don’t accept people with hardened criminal pasts,” Turning Point executive director Brenda Plant told The Outlook, dispelling rumours she’s heard from some opposed to the location. For more than 30 years Turning Point has run similar recovery houses in Vancouver and Richmond, where they have 22 beds and 18 beds, respectively. In her experience as director, Plant said, recovery houses don’t bring trouble to neighbourhoods, but rather have the opposite effect. “One of the things that came up is that there are drug dealers already in the neighbourhood,” she said. “But I think it’s important for people to know that when support recovery houses such as ours move into neighbourhoods, that kind of activity tends to dissipate over time because they have no vested interest in being around us because there’s no demand for the product.” It’s a point on which MacKay-Dunn, a former cop in the Downtown Eastside, agreed. “These folks are in recovery. They’re not using drugs and anyone who even goes near that place and looks suspicious, the cops are going to be called,” he said. “So actually, it’s going to enhance the security of the neighbourhood because currently the neighbours are complaining about drug activity going on in and around the park.” Nearby, the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church has expressed support for the rehab centre, as have the Edgemont and Upper Capilano community associations. As for the actual house itself, Turning Point plans to construct a sage green building in the local heritage style similar to, and in the footprint of, a house that sat on the same site but was demolished by the district two years ago. A public hearing on the North Vancouver women’s recovery house is tentatively planned for May 21. “I get it, people have that fear of the unknown,” Plant added. “But we really encourage people to come see our existing sites.” tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

Some wheel deals can be had with return of PSt Bicycles and other PST-exempt items may be more enticing starting April 1 as B.C. reverts back to two-tax system LEY DOCTOR Contributor

ith the harmonized sales tax disappearing on April 1, some bicycle store owners believe that reverting back to the PST and GST could increase business.

Bicycles and their related equipment — as well as some other items including children’s clothes and footwear and books — are PST-free, which means there are potential savings to be had for consumers. Still, Dan McRorie of Different Bikes says few people know about the PST exemption for bicycles. “I think bikes kind of fly under the radar,” he said. “They just assume they’re paying both [taxes].” He added: “I don’t think the HST encouraged people to get out and ride. [The HST] is definitely a concern. It’s an extra seven per cent — on a $5,000 bike it adds up pretty quick.” B.C.’s HST was implemented in 2010 and then voted down after a referendum in 2011. Mike Theil, owner of Bicycle Sports Pacific thinks that people who want to ride, will ride, no matter which taxes are in place. “The health, economic and

transportation benefits of cycling... outweigh the tax treatment applied,” he said in an email. “Increasing the tax has done nothing to slow sales which leads me to assume that decreasing it will do nothing to increase them,” said Theil. Steve Savage, general manager of Steed Cycles bike store believes that while a difference may not be noticeable on paper, some consumers will wait for the revert back to PST before they buy. “I think we’ll probably be a bit slower for March and pick up more in April,” he said. Savage says that the switches have been more of a hassle than anything. “In the end bikes will be cheaper... but I don’t think it’s [cheap] enough to make a difference.” —Starting April 1, some other items formerly exempt from PST will be exempt once again, including children’s clothing and footwear, books and magazines, insulation, smoke alarms, work-related safety equipment, general safety equipment like child car seats and portable fire extinguishers. Services like home renovations will also be exempt from the PST.

Land sale a ‘windfall’ for West Van church: neighbours A church in the British Properties wants to sell its land to a developer MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R

hat could be built in place of a church in the British Properties has caused quite a stir. If the church’s land is sold, duplexes and single-family homes could go in the large lot. That’s 19 homes, consisting of 11 detached dwellings and eight duplexes, to be exact. The congregation at North Shore Unitarian Church isn’t satisfied with the aging space, said representatives from the church. There’s no bus service so many seniors can’t make service by themselves and the 43-year-old building isn’t wheelchair accessible. So the congregation should move somewhere else on the North Shore that’s more accessible, said a delegation of church members at a West Van council meeting on Monday. If the land at 370 and 380 Mathers Ave. is rezoned, the buyer, Darwin Construction, wants to develop the area. The proposal is to build The Residences on Mathers, a plan that both outraged and delighted people at the meeting. Single-family houses would go for around $1.5 million, while duplex units would cost around $1 million each.

A collection of sixty apartment homes ranging from one to two bed + den atop a vibrant social hub. Top level homes feature private rooftop decks, and for a limited time, your own hot tub is included too. Relax, or entertain, however you choose – just don’t break any laws.

“It is seen by the neighbourhood as a ‘windfall’ for the church,” said neighbourhood resident Dave Lust about the amount of money the church would make from selling the land. “Nineteen homes right through the centre of our neighbourhood just doesn’t feel like character to us. It feels like an invasion.” People opposed to the development said the density is far too high for their neighbourhood, which isn’t close to amenities or on a bus route, and would cause unmanageable traffic. “This is clearly not appropriate. We live in a very isolated area,” said Bob Thompson, who lives beside the church. The proposed development, however, is in line with part of West Van’s official community plan (OCP) which calls for more diverse housing options, said a representative from Darwin Construction. Since the church already holds a preschool, daycare and community gatherings, Coun. Craig Cameron said he wasn’t convinced traffic would get worse if the houses were built. “I do think that there’s a middle ground that can be reached of less than 19 [homes] and more than 12 or 10 as some of the residents have written is acceptable.” For the development to go through, West Van’s OCP will have to be amended. A public meeting about the project will take place in April.

A president with personality Smart, colourful and candid, Kris Bulcroft finds the perfect fit at Capilano U

here’s no tweed or stuffiness inside the president’s office at Cap U. In fact, today the North Vancouver university’s president is decked out in a zebra-print blazer with a poodle brooch on her lapel, slacks and sensible black shoes. Kris Bulcroft admits she’s not your prototypical university president, something she’s proud of. “I rejected it,” says the Prius-driving PhD. “Cap is the perfect fit. I can be myself here.” Bulcroft, who has more than two decades of experience as a professor and academic administrator, took it as a major compliment a few months after she was hired when a staff member told her: “You’re exactly the person we interviewed.” “The fit is everything,” says Bulcroft, whose husband Richard is an associate professor of sociology at Bellingham’s Western Washington University. She wanted the Cap job, but didn’t need it so badly that she couldn’t be herself during the interview process. Bulcroft officially began at Capilano U in August 2010, moving into the president’s office on the fourth floor of the Birch Building. It was a palatial space with postcard views of the city. But she hated it. “Very isolated, very removed, I never saw students — I felt cut off from the campus,” she recalls. So she decided to move to a smaller office on the main floor of the Arbutus Building, bringing all her vice-presidents along with her. “As you can see it’s right here in dead centre of campus,” she says. The glass-fronted building makes all the president’s men and women highly visible. And while that all-access proximity might not work at all schools, it does at Cap. “I think especially here: we’re all about relationships — small classes, small faculty. It fits the culture of Cap.” As you might expect, Bulcroft’s office isn’t a sterile place decorated only with framed degrees and certificates. It reflects her personality. The walls and shelves are adorned with vibrant art, photos and a few kitschy items, like a pink ceramic poodle (she’s crazy about poodles and is posing in the photo at the right with her dog Margaux, named after the French wine Château Margaux). “I wanted it to feel like home,” says Bulcroft, who spends long hours on campus and unwinds by taking nature walks and cooking. She also ordered a red sofa and grey chairs — “contemporary, functional” — for visitors to sit comfortably for a chat. And she gets a lot of visitors. Bulcroft has an open-door policy with students, faculty and staff. Most of the students who drop by simply want to share a bit of good news or maybe discuss some ideas they have. She loves the interaction with the students. “I miss the teaching part, you learn so much from students.” “Look at them out there,” she says, pointing to a group of hacky sack players outside the window of her first-floor office. “And I have a ringside seat.” Whenever she gets the chance, like she did this morning inside a business class, the profturned-president is always up for an energetic exchange of ideas. She walks the campus regularly, stopping to talk to students, many of whom she has gotten to know by name. Most call her Kris. Once a month she meets with a group from Student Voices to discuss topics ranging from how best to engage Cap alumni to help current students to the importance of a student

Since arriving at Cap, Bulcroft has started an annual Bring Your Pet to Work Day. Rob Newell photo pub. Along with a chance to sit down with the president, the students also get to request whatever they want for lunch. Bulcroft, who takes the order to food services, smiles when recalling a recent order — Tater Tot casserole. When Bulcroft first arrived at Cap, she walked around the campus and noticed there seemed to be a dearth of collaborative spaces for students to informally gather and exchange ideas. “[The] deepest learning takes place during peer to peer,” she says. Since she arrived, the university has been busy changing what she calls the “passthrough” architecture to make it more of a “destination campus,” with lots of room for students to hang out. Recently the school has opened the Aboriginal Student Centre, renovated the gathering space at the Student Union building and in June will unveil the Centre for International Experience. Next, Bulcroft has her sights on a library reno. “We’ve been able to make physical changes to meeting places. You see them being used all the time. Now, we’re a destination for more and more students. I see the transformation before my eyes.” And Cap’s academic rep continues to grow internationally. Last month the school was granted accreditation by an internationally recognized agency, Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities — a process that took seven years to complete and taught Cap how to improve as a university. It’s the first school in Canada to earn NWCCU’s designation. “Being fully accredited by the NWCCU is a significant advantage for Capilano University, its students, faculty, and staff,” Bulcroft said at the time in a statement. “It demonstrates we are a university that knows what our students learn, and through the clear learning outcomes, we foster the development of transferable, real-world skills. These include critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and community service.” Plus, it’s probably one of the few universities in the world where you might just get a chance to sit down with the university’s leader to have an engaging discussion over a dish of Tater Tot casserole.

hey say it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game. Never before has that statement been more true than at last week’s first annual Safiya Cup. Held at West Van’s Pauline Johnson School, this U13 boys round-robin tournament was more about fun and fundraising than anything else. It was inspired by the story of a beautiful young girl who tragically passed away late last year due to lymphoma. Ten-year-old Safiya Mawani came from a soccer family where she and her brother Zia played for the local team. She won the hearts of everyone she touched. In honour of her memory, coaches, friends and family came together to put on this amazing community event. Some tears but lots of cheers were the order of the day as everyone was reminded yet again that the real battles in life almost always take place off the field. All proceeds raised go to the BC Cancer Foundation.

orth Shore tow-truck drivers know him by name. After all, last year he singlehandedly accounted for 220 vehicles being impounded for excessive speeding. And West Vancouver’s top traffic cop shows no sign of slowing down. “This year I’ve already impounded 78 and we’re just into March,” says Cpl. Grant Gottgetreu. New legislation enacted in 2010 requires B.C. police officers to impound the vehicles of lead-footed drivers caught doing more than 40 km/h over the posted speed limit. “And we haven’t even had the good months for impound — spring and summer when the roads are dry and the sun is out and daylight longer,” Gottgetreu continues. “I had a guy last year doing 190 in a 90 [zone]— it’s scary.” Gottgetreu is a veteran traffic enforcer with shortly cropped hair, bushy goatee and comedic wit. He unwinds by ballroom dancing with his wife and playing guitar in a cover band. But when talk turns to dangerous driving behaviour his brown eyes turn serious. “To me traffic enforcement is very important in policing because we are doing a job to save lives.” Plus, road stops can also net bad guys in stolen vehicles,

lead to drug and weapons seizures, reveal outstanding arrest warrants and more, he explains, noting later that serial killer Ted Bundy and the Oklahoma City Bomber, for instance, were both apprehended as the result of routine traffic violations. “Everyone speeds,” he continues, as he steers his new-model Ford past Park Royal and towards Taylor Way. Gottgetreu admits that if he decided to ticket everyone doing “five or six or even 10 over the posted limited” he would “get no farther than one block from our police department.” Those aren’t the drivers he’s hunting. “I’m looking more for the high-fliers.” “It’s all about speed and velocity. The faster you’re going, the more likely you’re going to get injured or killed. “That’s not rocket science, it’s physics.” Having worked as a collision analyst, he should know. During his two decades in policing, mostly in the traffic section, where he’s now an instructor and expert witness, he’s seen plenty of carnage on the roads. A stint moonlighting with the B.C. Coroners Service recovering bodies exposed him to even more grisly sights, from murder scenes to fatal MVAs. In two years, he transported 1,305 human remains. “I don’t know why I kept

count, I just did,” he says. “That was just working part-time.” Maybe that’s why he takes road safety so seriously. Before he even became a cop he did a ridealong with the Port Mann Freeway Patrol. “That’s where I got bit by the traffic bug.” From the get-go in the New West traffic section, he says some of his superiors wondered why he was so “heavy-handed” on the motoring public. “Why are you like that?” they asked the young constable. His response went something like: “If drivers are gripping the steering wheel tighter because they know I’m around then I’ve done my job.” And he hasn’t let up. These days with the WVPD, the bulk of his enforcement takes place on the freeway and Cypress Bowl Road. That’s where the majority of accidents and fatalities occur in West Van. “Why’s that?” he asks, pausing, “Speed.” He puts his hands in the air. “They’re going faster.” And it’s not just testosterone-fuelled young drivers in fast cars who are burying the speedometer. It’s a disparate group: male and female, ranging from “N” drivers to those in their eighties, driving every make and model. “Remember that Canada Post vehicle that got impounded last year? That was me,” he says pointing to himself. “Motorcycles, vans, trucks, cars, cabs, postal trucks.” He’s even nabbed a Bentley Continental convertible worth $300,000 “driving in the 150s.” The driver had just purchased the luxury car and was driving home from the dealership a little too excitedly. Instead, the car went direcetly to the impound lot. “It was a beautiful car. Why are you going that fast?” On this mild March afternoon, Gottgetreu is set up at one of his favourite fishing holes for speeders — a long straightaway on Cypress Bowl Road. The speed limit here is 60 km/h. “[It’s a] provincial park, lots of wildlife, not to mention hikers and cyclists all up and down the road.” Earlier he pointed out some deer. “See them? If Bambie comes at you when you’re doing 110 look out.” On this stretch, he gives drivers a little latitude on the speed limit. “I’m very gracious that way.” Unfortunately, too many drivers like to “open it up” on the snakelike mountain roadway. “[That driver] looks over,” he says, training his radar on a fast-approaching black Audi. As he clocks the driver Gottgetreu theorizes that his penchant for working traffic probably comes from watching the highway patrol drama CHiPs as a kid. “Jon and Ponch.” continued, PaGe 21

ain-soaked roads and dark skies — in other words, the prefect driving conditions for North Van RCMP Const. Jasvir Dosanjh. On murky nights like this, unsuspecting motorists aren’t usually prepared for Dosanjh to suddenly spring out of nowhere. “I’ll be everywhere, it’s rainy, it’s dark, that’s my ideal environment. I’ll be out there, that’s what I do.” And expect the unexpected. At a recent enforcement blitz at the corner of Third and Forbes, he was positioned stealthily behind a lamp standard for a distracted driver dragnet. It was a highly successful operation. “The numbers speak for themselves,” he says, poker-faced. As a member of the traffic section, Dosanjh is responsible for all things vehicle-related, but his real penchant is for busting drug- and alcohol-impaired drivers. “It’s impaired operations for sure — that’s my primary.” And its something he excels at. In both 2011 and 2012, Dosanjh has been among an elite group of B.C. cops named as Alexa’s All-Stars for their dedication to taking impaired drivers off the road. The group is named in memory of Alexa Middelaer, the fouryear-old killed by an impaired driver in 2008. The officers selected as all-stars have each apprehended more than 28 impaired drivers in the calendar year. What drives the tenacious Mountie? He’s family man who’s got a deep-felt empathy for those who’ve lost a loved one because of a drunk driver. When discussing personal accolades however, he prefers talking about the dedicated team it takes to keep the streets safer, from the public to the dispatchers and other traffic cops. Cpl. Richard De Jong, a spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP, isn’t shy about praising the humble traffic cop. “Const. Dosanjh consistently shows dedication to improving public safety on our roadways. By targeting these behaviours the roadways of North Vancouver are safer for us all.” Taking impaired drivers off the streets can take its toll, though. “It’s Thursday and I’m still exhausted from last Thursday, Friday and Saturday... strictly as a result of impaired investigations.” A typical impaired investigation takes three hours, from pulling over the driver to release and transport and competing the paperwork. A particularly involved file can eat up an entire 10-hour shift, and then some. Still, for Dosanjh, it’s always worth it. “The satisfaction I get is when the paperwork is cleared and I’m on the road.” —Justin Beddall

Small details approved for Ambleside revitalization

West Van’s transportation hierarchy sparks debate Some residents worried emphasis on pedestrians and bikes will replace parking spots MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R

edestrians are at the top of West Vancouver’s transportation hierarchy, followed by bicycles, public transit, delivery trucks and, finally, cars. The plan is to shift travel away from single-occupancy vehicles towards sustainable modes. But what about seniors who need

their cars to get around? Because of where they live, one West Van resident told council, it’s difficult to take the bus and impossible to bike. “My friends and all my acquaintances are in their 70s and 80s. You’re not going to put those people on bicycles to go and get their groceries… or to go out to North Van to go play bridge,” said Ray Richards at a public discussion on Monday. “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” Richards said he routinely carpools but is concerned parking spots will be taken away because of an emphasis being put on other types of transportation such as bike lanes.

Transit options should be available for all people living in West Van, including seniors and those with disabilities, recommends a report from West Van’s transportation working group. But to reach its goal of reducing green house gases, many cars need to stay at home. At the same meeting, people with young families came out to say they want more bike lanes for their children. The Spirit Trail, which is expected to run from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove along the waterfront in the next decade, is one step, but they also need a network of safe trails to connect different parts of West Van. “We look at the fabulous Spirit Trail

that North Van (partially) completed quite some time ago, and we’re wondering where ours is,” West Van resident Joannna Tremblay asked council. On the other hand, commuter cyclists, some of whom travel daily to downtown Vancouver, want fast routes, not scenic paths with families on morning outings. The “polar opposite” of opinion on encouraging people to leave their cars at home has made transportation planning difficult, said West Van’s CAO Grant McRadu, adding the district is trying to address both sides in its plan. mgarstin@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin

The template for sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting and even street furniture will be used for all improvements to Ambleside Village Centre. These features will be put in as changes are made, not all at once. In the plan, many corners along Marine Drive will be “bumped-out” to improve safety and provide more room for people waiting to cross the street. Instead of the usual white lines, crosswalks are indicated with a unique “cobble” design, showing the street’s connection with Ambleside’s shoreline. “We got a lot of questions about how we’re going

This is a good time to recap some investment tips that are tax savvy. First, consider mutual funds in the Corporate Class edition where you can switch positions and not trigger any capital gains. Second, consider investments with dividend income. If you had no other income than dividends (from public corporations), you could take in $50,000 of dividends before you’d pay any income tax. Third, take advantage of your Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) for growth - oriented investments. If your TFSA is geared for long term savings, equities make sense. In non-registered accounts, only 50% of the capital gain is taxable. But in the TFSA all of that capital gain is tax free. Tax planning is part of the overall financial planning process. What you save in income tax is

Plan now for 2013 If you are retired, and particularly if you have a spouse, consider increasing the draw from your Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF). While you’re alive you’ve got two tax brackets to work with. There is great power in income splitting of RRIF income for couples age 65 and older – particularly if there is a large pool of registered capital. When there’s only one of you left, there’s no looking back.

In recent months, Ambleside’s revitalization plan has drawn criticism for placing pedestrians above drivers by reducing the number of parking spots. Some seniors have told council that driving is the only way they can get to the waterfront. But, according to the plan, providing more areas free of cars is a vital part of creating a better sense of community in Ambleside.

to fund these standards…We see implementation through private sector redevelopment applications,” said Geri Boyle, manager of community planning, at a council meeting on Monday. The design surrounding Fresh St. Market at 16th and Marine Drive will be one of the first examples. The plan also recommends de-cluttering the streets by, for instance, putting newspaper bins inside stores instead of on sidewalks. One of the biggest changes, however, needs more discussion by council. The plan originally called for two designated festival streets near the waterfront along 14th and 17th that would provide space for street vendors, performers and markets. The design would allow these streets to be easily closed down for events, but might not be viable as the area develops.

orth Vancouver’s 195 Studios on Pemberton is home to about 25 artists’ workspaces in the heart of the North Shore. A vision of Doug Fraser, a local business owner, art enthusiast and man deeply rooted in the community, the building is now humming with creativity as the collective of independent artists create a variety of paint-

ings, sculptures and other pieces. Fraser sadly passed away this past Valentine’s Day, but leaves behind loving family and an artist collective buzzing with kind words for the man who gave the North Shore arts community so much of his time and efforts. “Doug was extremely supportive of the artists here,” said Norman Vipond, the first member of 195 Studios. In May 2010, Vipond answered an ad listing a studio space for rent and slowly the number of artists began growing and the building began expanding. “When I moved in, I had no idea how big this thing would become,” said Vipond. continued, PAGE 18

Cruise the streets in this rare, authentic convertible....It has been fully restored with original factory settings, new engine so you can keep on cruising without the worry of your ride ending, and you continuing on with your feet! The Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanics of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by the German coachbuilder Karmann. In August 1957, Volkswagen introduced a convertible version of the Karmann Ghia. Exterior changes in 1961 included wider and finned front grilles, taller and more rounded rear taillights and headlights relocated to a higher position -- with previous models and their lower headlight placement called lowlights. The Italian designer Sergio Sartorelli, designer of Type 34, oversaw the various restylings. Call Rossi Thomas for a test drive today! 604.340.9937 rossi@autoformco.ca

fter a rash of thefts-from-autos in West Vancouver last week, it’s a good time to rethink how to properly protect your property. West Vancouver police recently offered a variety of ways to help residents prevent thefts from their cars including basics like ensuring the vehicle is locked and parked in a well-lit area. Other tips involve making sure that any valuables like wallets, purses, electronics — including GPS systems — as well as spare keys or garage-opening remotes are out of plain sight as these are top targets for thieves to snatch. Engraving any important or expensive items with an identification number, like a driver’s license number is also a smart way to make sure that if an item is stolen that it can be traced back to you and returned quickly. Watch out for any suspicious people lurking in or around parking lots, especially waiting in other cars.

GUILD EXPANSION - Wanda Doyle, artist at 195 Studios, believes that the expanding of the arts scene on the North Shore is definitely a good thing. As a member of the North Shore Artist’s Guild of over 300 artists, she has found that there are so many new members applying to the guild that they have had to stop accepting applications.

“The legacy that Doug put in place will no doubt continue,” said Vipond. “When I came here so many things fell into place,” said Isabelle Procter, a mixed-media artist in 195 Studios who also helps out with rentals and open houses. “There is some magical force in here,” she laughed. “[Doug] loved to see this place alive with people. He loved the energy it created.” Fraser, a quiet and intelligent man, worked on the studios himself into his 80s. Procter tells a tale of how the man, who had undergone double hip replacement, was up on a tall ladder installing new ceiling tiles not too long ago. His concept for an artist studios came from talks with one of the other artists still involved at the location. Richard Marmion, can still be found working in his large studio overlooking the parking lot. The site itself was in Fraser’s family for generations. Procter, who has been in 195 Studios for almost two years, admits that while some artists keep to themselves, there are others who are glad to provide feedback to their fellow artists. “There is some interaction by way of critiquing,” she said. “It’s a wonderful place,” said Procter. “It has changed my life.”

Artwork for the contest, which is open to elementary and high school students in North Van, should be inspired by the city’s natural landscapes, including trees, flowers, the ocean and animals.

“There’s a synergy that exists when you’re among other artists,” said Vipond. While each artist has their own private space to work, being in the same environment as others is enough to create a difference. “There’s a sense of encouragement and inspiration from one artist to another.” One of the newer artists in 195 Studios, Wanda Doyle, came to the site on Pemberton Avenue in November. “It’s growing in leaps and bounds,” said Doyle. A member of the North Shore Artist’s Guild, Doyle believes that there is an expansion of art and artists across the North Shore. “It seems to me there are more and more studios popping up,” she said. “I get the impression North Vancouver would like to encourage that to continue.” Several of the artists of 195 Studios currently have work on display at the Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver and will be doing a group show with all artists contributing work at the Ferry Building Gallery in October. 195 Studios is also taking part in this year’s North Shore Art Crawl. — Ley Doctor is a Langara Journalism student

North Van city hall hatches a new plot Operator of North Vancouver City Hall community garden now taking names for gardeners interested in getting a space TODD COYNE S Ta f f R e p O RT e R

he scarcity of community garden plots on the North Shore has long left hundreds of North Shore green-thumbs green with envy. But a new urban garden at North Vancouver City Hall promises to alleviate some of that local demand for arable land. The North Shore Community Garden Society last week won the bid for two dozen planting plots at city hall. But in just a couple days, demand for the plots had lapped capacity, with 57 requests for spaces flooding in. And that’s just from city residents. Across the North Shore, the garden society has more than 250 names on wait lists for one of 147 plots at three community gardens — Queen Mary, Charros and Lillooet Park. North Shore Community Garden president Maja Regehr says that, as issues like community food security and organic nutrition have enjoyed mass appeal in recent years, interest in local gardening has sprouted up across the North Shore and internationally. “If there was a major earthquake in Vancouver, how much time would we have if the food supply chain was not working?” Regehr asks. “So we produce food locally to ensure there’s food security in that kind of emergency.” What the group also grows is knowledge — of the local growing seasons and of the importance of things like bees and other pollinating insects to a sustainable garden. Spinach, bok choy, some varieties of lettuces and root vegetables are all ready for planting now and tomatoes can be started indoors and brought out over the coming months, Regehr says. And as always, while food is the focus of many community garden initiatives, planting inedible flowers is never discouraged as they are what bring the pollinating bees around. “Community gardens are more than just producing food on-site,” she says. “They participate in that broader issue and also bring community. They share stories about how to plant things and they share stories about other things.” For city mayor Darrell Mussatto, he’d like to see the fully accessible four-foot-by-four-foot plots in front of city hall expanded to other operations around the city. “We’re really happy to have this,” Mussatto says, standing among the raised plots at the entrance to city hall. “We’ve had zero negative [response] to it. Especially from the multi-family neighbourhoods here. Maybe they used to live in a house and they had a garden and now they’re sort of in this type of living and they can still get their hands in a bit of dirt, which is wonderful. If we could do more, we will.” The city hall plots will be distributed by lottery on April 2 for a nominal annual fee and will be ready for planting on April 15. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since #23 taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing.

ing vignettes and fascinating revelations, including the fact that dogs trigger the same bonding chemical in us as babies. “[I want] people to have a version of the experience that I did... Just seeing your behaviour in a way that isn’t shaming,” says the filmmaker. “We all know that we can be incredibly self-centred. We have these blind spots where we can rationalize our behaviour. I wanted people to be able to laugh about that and maybe think about changing.” Dog Dazed premieres on CBC’s Doc Zone tonight (March 21) at 9 p.m. Repeated on CBC News Net Saturday, March 23 at 11 p.m. and again Sunday, March 24 at 6 pm.

***** Later, Gottgetreu sets up at another favourite spot, a location officers call “The Perch.” With a clear vantage point of the highway, he’s positioned to swoop down like a hawk. “I want to get the high-fliers,” he says. The faster you’re driving the shorter your reaction time and peripheral vision. “You see something and you’re already there,” he says. When a Volvo wagon blurs past

he buries the gas pedal and the pursuit is on. “We’re professional drivers. We’re trained to do this,” he says calmly. “Buck twenty-two in a 90 zone,” he says of the driver’s speed. He doesn’t get far. “That’s closing the distance,” says Gottgetreu, whose vehicle’s Eco-Boost has come in handy. In the summer months, it’s not uncommon for him to have to pull over a camping trip-bound family vehicle that’s racing at over 140 km/h to catch the ferry on this stretch of the highway. “I’m sorry I may have ruined your camping vacation, but I may have saved your life.” Of course, it’s not just speeders that his traffic section casts the net for. They do other traffic blitzes such as impaired and distracted drivers. A few tickets later, Gottgetreu is heading east on the Trans-Canada Highway when a woman driving a Ford pickup passes him. “She used a signal, so that’s good,” he says. Too bad she’s speeding. He follows her at a safe distance, pausing to point out a spot where there was a fatal accident a few years ago. She continues to drive at around 125 in an 80 zone. He hits the lights. Minutes later a Mitchell’s towing truck drives past in the opposite lane. Gottgetreu waves. When the driver, a young guy sporting a LA Dodgers cap and lots of ink, arrives at the window of the cruiser he’s got a friendly greeting for Gottgetreu. “So we did get 80,” the traffic cop says. And his shift isn’t even half over.

“I didn’t watch Miami Vice growing up, I watched CHiPs.” Before finishing this sentence, he nimbly jumps out of the driver’s seat to halt the Audi. “This guy was doing 104 so he’s lost his car for seven days. “As I’ve said, ‘Why do we want to go that fast?’ I don’t get people like that. I just don’t get it.” He picks up his radio. “Tango 52. Can I get Mitchell’s [Towing] to kilometre three Cypress Bowl Road. “You will not get sympathy from me, I’ve seen too much. I may have saved his life.” The driver, on his way for a day of skiing will now get a ride down the hill with the tow-truck driver. “I’ve given up trying to figure out why people do what they do when they drive. I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them.” “My daughter is driving around with my grand baby in the back… what more motivation do you need?” “Why do you want to go so fast?” It’s a question he asks repeatedly. Speed isn’t just a factor in his jurisdiction. In B.C., there were 7,000 vehicles impounded for excessive speeding in 2011. In that same year, 18 people were killed as a result of excessive speeding. The Audi impound is number 79. “We’ll get our 80th tonight,” he says confidently. The only thing that might stop him? Running out of ink. “I go through a lot of pens,” he says, straight-faced. “I always carry a spare on me,” he adds as he reaches into his inside jacket pocket for a new pen.

“Getting a warning from me is like a winning lottery ticket.” Of course, he always has a courteous road-side manner. “I always treat people with respect because this is a pretty negative contact,” he explains. Speech or a ticket — “you don’t get both with me,” he says. Last year he had no complaints even though he wrote up nearly 1,500 tickets. Traffic cops, of course, need kevlar skin. His advice to rookies: do a lot of traffic stops. “Get used to dealing with the people — get used to people yelling and screaming.” Through the years he’s heard every excuse and insult in the book. It helps to have a sense of humour and holster full of one-liners. After one motorist told him: “I’m going to make your life a living hell,” he offered this deadpan response: “Too bad, I’m already married.” He was joking but levity helps. “You will not get a rise out of me.” And if a motorist insists on being belligerent, he’s got another good line: “This pen is voice activated.” “It will end up costing you.”
