NORTH Vancouver RCMP assess the scene after a single-vehicle accident at the corner of Eighth Street and Hendry Avenue Monday afternoon. A 28-year-old North Vancouver woman jumped the curb and went up a power pole’s guide wire, causing the vehicle to ﬂip onto its side. The accident is under investigation but police say speed and driving without due care and attention are factors.

The man had just finished buying from a jeweller in the 100-block of East Broadway around 12:30 p.m. Monday and was walking North on Quebec Street when a suspect came up behind him, snatched the bag of jewelry from his hands and ran to a waiting car. The victim chased and tried to grab hold of the thief and was subsequently dragged for one block by the fleeing vehicle. Paramedics found the man at the scene and offered treatment for minor injuries, according to Vancouver police. He was taken to hospital as a precaution. While the police have not identified the suspect, they are not releasing descriptions of the suspect or vehicle “due to investigative reasons.”

WV council OKs Grosvenor plan Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

THERE may be wrinkles to be smoothed and a ﬁnancial contribution to be negotiated, but it looks like Grosvenor’s long-gestating Ambleside development will be built following a suspenseful council vote Monday. West Vancouver council voted 4-2 in favour of pushing Grosvenor’s proposal for the 1300-block of Marine Drive to the development consideration process. The vote solidiﬁes the basic

height and density of the proposal, leaving only architectural reﬁnements such as each building’s relative distinctness to be determined. The project’s ﬁnancing was not up for discussion at Monday’s meeting. The proposal consists of two mid-rise towers peaking at seven and six storeys, respectively. Joined by a covered galleria, the tiered buildings will contain approximately 100 units.

With the possibility of a deadlock looming, Coun. Bill Soprovich waited until the last minute to back Mayor Michael Smith and Couns. Trish Panz and Michael Lewis in supporting the proposal. “If we do not move ahead with something viable in this community, Park Royal will suck us dry forever,” he said. Having previously backed a failed motion to lower the heights of the buildings, Soprovich ultimately decided Grosvenor’s project would contribute to West Vancouver’s gateway. “I’ll start out by telling you I’ve been eating a lot of Tums See Landmark page 3

‘Landmark’ building a ‘game changer’

From page 1

lately,” he said. The project has created a schism across the community, according to Coun. Nora Gambioli, who called on council to build more of a consensus. “For me, 50/50 isn’t good enough,” she said. District staff are working on an independent market study related to the Grosvenor project but had not completed it by Monday’s meeting. The lack of that report made it difﬁcult to support the project for Gambioli. “I’ve enjoyed being on council right up until just about this minute. I felt like I was coming to the guillotine tonight,” she said. The project was recently deliberated by the district’s design review committee, but whether or not that was a fulsome debate is unclear, according to Gambioli “My impression was that DRC was never asked directly, until the last minute of the meeting, about height and density,” she said. The DRC is content with the project’s height and density, according to director of planning, lands and permits Bob Sokol. “The basic fundamentals of the project are good, and in general the issues of height and massing are resolved,” he said, drawing both murmurs of discontent and applause from the capacity crowd. Once completed, the buildings will be very expensive and routinely empty, according to Coun. Craig Cameron. “This is not going to provide diversity of housing options,” he said, stating that the price range of $2 million to $5 million will exclude most local buyers. “I have very serious concerns that they’re not going to be occupied, that a lot of owners are going to be people who have several residences in several countries, and we’re going to get them here for part of the year if at all. So how does that revitalize Ambleside?” he asked. The 1300-block is one of three special sites in Ambleside where buildings can exceed four storeys if approved by council.

We call them special sites,” Cameron said. “Previous councils have left this mess for present and future councils to deal with.” The OCP has left council in a purely reactive role, according to Cameron. “We’re served dinner, and we don’t even know what we’ve ordered,” he said. The precedent-setting project is too massive, said Cameron, asking how it would ﬁt into Ambleside. “The ironic thing is, we don’t have a future vision for Ambleside,” he said. With Grosvenor as Ambleside’s sole suitor and the district’s budget an even balance of assets and liabilities, Mayor Michael Smith was happy to vote in favour of the project. “There is no pot of gold that we can use to pay for the very things that we want as a community. The one thing we do have is surplus lands, one of which is the 1300block.” Several merchants championed the project,

including a storeowner who produced a petition bearing the signatures of more than two-dozen Ambleside business owners. “We really do need to support our business community. It’s essential,” said Coun. Trish Panz. Once completed, the project will provide a neighbourhood gathering place, according to Panz. “We desperately need a better public realm in Ambleside,” she said. “We would be seriously remiss if we prevented it from moving forward,” agreed Coun. Michael Lewis. While the building has been criticized as being out of step with the neighbourhood’s village character, Lewis said the opposite is true. “I think it will be a landmark building,” he said. “It’s been textured by the architect to ﬁt and feel like Ambleside.” Speaking outside council chambers, Grosvenor Americas senior vice-president

James Patillo said he was happy with the outcome. “You’re always mindful that these are tough decisions for council,” he said, adding that the process remains ongoing. Asked if he was ever close to taking the project off the table, Patillo said it was a matter of demonstrating public support. “We’ve got a project that’s economically viable as it is,” he said. “We do have support for this project and so we were always optimistic council would see it that way and they did.” Droves of West Vancouverites ventured out of the evening sunshine and into the humidity of council chambers, fanning themselves with agendas as nearly 50 residents voiced their opinions in the four-hour meeting. The majority of speakers supported the project. “This development, if built, will be the best thing to happen to Ambleside in forever,” said Ambleside business owner Glynda Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald likened the “mind boggling” opposition to the detractors of the Village at Park Royal “I know for a fact that the ‘just say no-ers’, now, when in need of a can of paint or a knob for their cupboard, are grateful that they don’t have to make their way to Home Hardware behind Cap Mall,” she said. “Maybe instead of throwing a proverbial rock at change, it’s time to embrace change.” Christine Ballantine took issue with Mayor Michael Smith’s recent jab at West Vancouverites who afﬁx the No More Than Four sticker to their clothing. Other project opponents questioned the project’s scale. “It provides a block of windows in just a huge building which will look like a parked cruiseship,” said Linda Kowalski. Supporters characterized the project as a “game changer” and an “amazing opportunity” to give a facelift to a “dreary, dismal” section of the district. The project is expected to return to council July 22. Coun. Mary-Ann Booth recused herself from the discussion.

Breakwater battle

WV lawyer ﬁghts Fisheries charges Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A prominent West Vancouver property owner charged for allegedly damaging fish habitat while rebuilding a breakwater is fighting environmental regulators in court. John Laxton, a prominent lawyer and former chairman of BC Hydro, and his lawyer were in North Vancouver provincial court Monday, telling a judge they don’t have enough detail in the Fisheries Act charges they face to know what they’ve done wrong. The charges laid against Laxton, his companies and his waterfront neighbours Lawrence and Sandra Millson are “vague, ambiguous and confusing,” Laxton’s lawyer John Shields told the judge. Shields added recent changes to the Fisheries Act made by the federal government make it clear homeowners should only be charged where fish are killed or there is serious, permanent harm to fish habitat. “That’s the position of the government of Canada,” said Shields, adding Laxton has done nothing to harm fish habitat. The Laxtons were “simply maintaining their property,” he said. Outside the court, Shields said if he’s not successful in getting more details from the Crown, Laxton might ask the court to toss out the case. “We say these allegations are groundless,” said Shields. “We say there’s no smoke, there’s no fire. There are not even matches.” This week’s court hearing is the latest in a series of legal tussles over a controversial breakwater that protects four waterfront properties Laxton owns along Marine Drive that face Howe Sound near Pitcairn Place. The breakwater itself consists of an artificial point of land, created by filling in the foreshore, which Laxton previously leased from the province. Between 2003 and 2007, Laxton bought the newly created land — both above and below the original high-tide See Charge page 5

mark — from the province. Laxton then applied to the District of West Vancouver for a permit to go ahead with rebuilding the breakwater. When the municipality refused to grant Laxton permission for the repairs in 2008, he took the case to court, arguing the repairs aren’t land use that can be regulated by town hall. A B.C. Supreme Court judge agreed with him. In 2011, Laxton started the breakwater repair, with advice from a contractor and environmental consultant. But the work soon attracted the attention of fisheries officials, who voiced concern the work on the breakwater could involve extensive destruction of fish habitat. Throughout the dispute, Laxton’s position was that placing rock to shore up the crumbling breakwater was simply adding to a structure that had already been in place for 45 years. Fisheries officers have maintained Laxton was expanding his breakwater and filling in more of the sub-tidal area, without department permission. Laxton and his contractor rejected one suggestion from a fisheries officer for a more modest repair job, saying it would not be safe for equipment to work on the breakwater the way DFO had proposed.

WV hosts longboarding meet

THE District of West Vancouver, its police and schools are all hoping to reduce longboarder injuries with a public safety meeting next week.

Riders, parents and community members are invited to a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 26 at Kay Meek Centre, 1700 Mathers Ave., from 6 to 8 p.m. Serious crashes on West Vancouver’s roads — where the sport is illegal — resulted in four longboarders being taken to the emergency room in May and June with severe injuries. Representatives from the West Vancouver Police Department, municipality, schools, the longboarding industry, sport advocates, and non-proﬁt stakeholders will make presentations. “To me, the end goal is to reduce the potential for more injuries like the terrible ones we’ve seen so far,” said Jeff McDonald, West Vancouver spokesman. There will be opportunities to ask questions. Space is limited to 200 attendees for the event so pre-registration is recommended online at sd45.bc.ca/news/reg-lb-wv.php. — Brent Richter

Shields said the breakwater repairs actually improved ﬁsh habitat in the area. “Fish habitat is better off for the repairs,” Shields told the judge. He added in its own foreshore restoration program, the District of West Vancouver is doing much the same thing as Laxton did with his breakwater — placing boulders in sub-tidal areas to break up the force of waves and prevent erosion. “West Vancouver District is doing far more than what these defendants ever did and West Vancouver has not been charged,” he said. Outside the court, Crown prosecutor Todd Gerhart said he believes Laxton and his neighbours have been given enough detail to understand the ﬁsheries charges they face. He said some of the recent changes to the Fisheries Act have come into force while others are pending. Gerhart will respond to Laxton’s request for more details before the judge on Wednesday of this week. Jeff McDonald, spokesman for the District of West Vancouver, said the municipality has been working with the Department of Fisheries on its foreshore restoration program, which also involves some private waterfront property owners. Laxton and his neighbours are currently scheduled to go to trial in their case over four weeks next year.

VIEWPOINT Published by North Shore News a division of LMP Publication Limited Partnership, 100-126 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, B.C. V7L 2P9. Doug Foot, publisher. Canadian publications mail sales product agreement No. 40010186.

Size matters

HE West Vancouver business community clearly favours the Grosvenordevelopmentproposal for the 1300-block of Ambleside. If Mayor Michael Smith’s breakfast speech at the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce had not already sketched in the background for Ambleside’s answer to Park Royal, Monday night’s quasi public hearing certainly did. Eventually, a split council came down on the side of the somewhat down-sized but still markedly upscale Grosvenor development plan. In terms of Ambleside commerce, it was perhaps the right decision. But we’d feel more comfortable saying that if the requested marketing study on the proposal had been completed and was in front of council before the vote. It seems odd that it was not, and that the minutes of the design review committee

deliberations on the Grosvenor redesign were not tabled. Also conspicuously absent from Monday night’s deliberations was any mention of how much (less?) West Vancouver will receive for the downsized Grosvenor project. It’s impossible for any councillor to do a cost-beneﬁt analysis if the beneﬁt is unknown. We feel some sympathy for councillors forced to chew Tums or feeling trapped in a tumbril, but the fact remains that Monday’s vote was only the end of the beginning. The rezoning amendments will require a public hearing in the fall and another council vote before this is a done deal. If the just-say-no’ers, however much they may be mocked, want to change council’s mind, they will have one more chance to organize and show they represent the majority opinion.

Community solution to longboarding needed

Dear Editor: I am compelled to write this email both as a resident of West Vancouver in the British Properties as well as being the mom of a 15-yearold son, who is a longboarder. There is no doubt that the many recent events involving longboarders and drivers have been both devastating and sobering. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the skaters, their parents and the drivers who are now dealing with the extreme consequences that this high-adrenaline and likely addictive sport satisﬁes. My son has been an active longboarder for the past two and a half years, primarily skating in the British Properties. A wide degree of emotions have encompassed me as the parent of a child who sees this “sport” as his primary source of recreation,

social interaction and competitive outlet. I must tell you that in the beginning I came from an emotional and intellectual place of uncertainty and frustration (as a driver), that led to many heated discussions in our household. However, over the past year I have learned much about the “push culture phenomena” and its culture. You only need to go online to experience a sampling of what this far-reaching sport is about, how active the community is, how businesses (some local) generate revenue and employ local youth and how the numbers show that it is evolving and growing at an incredible pace. Five continents, thousands of participants (skaters and spectators) and millions of dollars in sales annually is only the tip of the iceberg. Media coverage, Internet and conventional, like that of NBC’s Red Bull Series,

highlights the growth and metamorphoses of this sport. To ignore this momentum is certain to be a mistake. To close our eyes and close our minds to understanding the draw that the youth are pulled toward is a mistake; we will be fooling ourselves otherwise. It is far better to open the table to a full discussion and work toward a mutual recognition and solution to an issue that is not going away. Wishing it away or legislating it away is not the reality of the day. These kids will continue to seek out thrilling rides and adventurous environments whether we as the public and our members of council admit it or not. In conclusion, as a parent not only do I wish for a safe environment for my child and those like him to ride, but for also our community and

residents as a whole. I hope to evoke a discussion within the community and council of West Vancouver. Let’s move past the autocratic heavy handedness of the past and collectively come together for a solutionbased, balanced approach. Real, working ideas, are available. Mutual compromise is attainable. I would welcome the opportunity to participate in a public forum that would hopefully add to it a parent’s perspective and point of view. Catharine Macartney, Keenan Macartney West Vancouver (Editor: A community meeting on longboarding will be held Wednesday, June 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Kay Meek Studio Theatre, 1700 Mathers Ave. Pre register at sd45.bc.ca/news/reg-lb-wv.php.)

Consider banning inappropriately behaved families from sport Dear Editor: I was pleased to see the response from Tim McNulty regarding the Fair Play Code and parents in sport. As a boys youth soccer and volleyball coach, I can testify that the vast majority of parents support their children and demonstrate appropriate, respectful behaviour at sporting events. That being said, there are always children who have difﬁculties with fair play and more often than not,

their behaviour mimics that of their parents. Once in a while, we encounter kids who have problems which we can’t resolve no matter which approach we take. Today, as I drove four children home from school, a car nearly crashed into us whilst making a lane change, driving too fast and without signalling. The car pulled beside us and the driver and passenger started shouting explicit obscenities accompanied by obscene hand gestures. They

continued to drive beside us exhibiting the same behaviour until forced to stop at a light. At the light, whilst stopped, I opened my window and shouted “Leo’s parents, you should be ashamed of yourselves.” Yes, I even knew who they were. The obscenities continued until they turned in a different direction. To the small minority of parents whose continuous inappropriate behaviour at sporting event is a poor example to our children: Please stay

at home, we all know who you are. Our sporting organizations should consider whether it is in the best interest of our communities to allow these frequently offending families to participate in organized sport. For the vast majority of parents, please stand up to bad behaviour at sporting events especially when directed at the many volunteers who provide these wonderful opportunities for our children.

Will the NDP campaign better in Kelowna?

“You know Westside-Kelowna has been represented by two premiers in the past, both of whom travelled a lot — you know, were outside the riding a lot — but delivered a lot for the community, for Kelowna; really changed the place because they were premier.” Christy Clark, June 12, 2013

SO there you have it, the yet-to-be-electedpremier of all British Columbians, Christy Clark, confirming to the Okanagan’s CBC-Radio West host Rebecca Zandbergen how politics is done in B.C. Elect her as MLA for Westside-Kelowna on July 10 and you get your Westside Road fixed up; reject her and, presumably, you wait your turn. After the May 14 votecounts were finalized, I promised myself I would ignore them and move on. Judging by the relative silence of stunned bloggers and NDP candidates alike, I wasn’t alone. Unlike some, I had not been gleeful about pollsters’ predictions. “Watch out, Mr. Dix,” I thought and wasn’t surprised when the clouds rolled in closer to election day. The quality of poll results depends on the questions

Just Asking

Elizabeth James asked and how they’re phrased, so what better way to lull NDP voters into believing all was over bar the shouting than to skew the questions? That said, after the Liberals’ 12-year history of obfuscations, payouts and outright lack of honest government, I really didn’t expect voters to return them to Victoria, let alone with an increased majority. How could anyone believe four years of an NDP government would be more “scary” than a government that has transferred the control of public corporations into unaccountable private hands and manipulated the accounting of the largest of the two remaining: BC Hydro? How could the NDP be scarier than a regime that shuts down the B.C. Rail enquiry with a $6-million payout and then pays $30 million to Boss Energy

— both to avoid testifying in court? Or that forces out an auditor general for calling them to account? Remembering the Boss fiasco: How can any mining company trust a government that refuses to issue an operations permit after Pacific Booker Minerals spent its own $30-million to clear every federal, provincial and environmental regulatory hurdle? Is the loss of Booker jobs and revenue not scary? How much will it cost us to defend that company’s lawsuit? As I wrote in an earlier column, I didn’t want an NDP government with a huge majority. All we needed was an NDP minority administration being careful not to lose a confidence vote. But here I go, breaking promises and not even halfway done in my futile attempt to understand the election results.

one mistake by not ﬁelding a “star” Kelowna-based candidate to face down Clark, instead of the recentlydefeated Carole Gordon. Since you didn’t do that, will you set Gordon free to address the provincial issues Clark escaped in the ﬁrst round? Issues like a budget that can only be balanced by selling off $500 million in public assets? Or the 4,000 long-term care beds still outstanding of the 5,000 promised by Colin Hansen and Gordon Campbell in 2001? Will you allow Gordon to remind Kelowna voters, politely of course, that each of the disgusting, recently announced $50,000 pay raises for her political appointees would buy 2,000 months of egregious $25 wheelchair rentals?

decisions, I’m not about to let the NDP off the hook. What kind of campaign was that anyway, Mr. Dix? Did the NDP “take a dive” in an economic downturn to avoid landing in the Liberals’ deficits and doubling of the debt? For 12 years, the Campbell-Clark Liberals handed you enough ammunition to win a dozen elections, let alone one. I guess you know by now there’s a big difference between negative personal attack ads and being courteous as you fire off the artillery. Unfortunately, while you were learning on the job, you sacrificed B.C. to the cause for another four years. Polite though she is, Carole James would never have let the Liberals off the hook like that. So now, what are your plans for the byelection? You’ve already made

Where’s the TAXI ! boot? It’s in there. The quality, comfort and effortless style of Blundstone boots, now in a shoe.

So instead, how about we look at more of Clark’s telephone comments to Kelowna radio? Let’s see if the future is less scary. When Zandbergen asked the would-be premier how she can represent the people of the riding when she doesn’t live there, Clark replied “It’s the riding I will live in!” Then, saying she hopes to be in Kelowna about half the time, she made a Freudian slip: “I think you’re going to see a few cabinet retreats, uh, caucus meetings, ha-ha, in Kelowna over the next four years.” Would those be invites to the home she plans to be “maintaining there”? Or, Coquitlam-like, will Clark’s cabinet-uh-caucus retreatmeetings be “networking” gatherings housed at the best hotels courtesy of taxpayers’ pockets?

Library launches its Community Pod Ask for help, share your knowledge with others

learn how to knit, or if you love gardening and want to teach others, you may want to take advantage of this new community resource. So how does it work exactly? People seeking or offering help first fill out a form, in person or online, describing what they want to learn or teach. Librarians will display the post in the Community Pod after removing any personal information. Other library users who think they can help or be helped by the original poster may respond by filling out a similar form. Library staff then play matchmaker and arrange an initial meeting between the two parties in the Community Pod. In addition to serving as a meet-up place, people may also use the pod for a one-time session to try something new — as long as the activity doesn’t require a lot of complicated

London Drugs, ICBC sue rioters TWO North Vancouver rioters are among those now facing civil law suits for damage they caused during the melee that broke out in downtown Vancouver following the Canucks’ Stanley Cup loss two years ago.

London Drugs has ﬁled a small claims suit against Chase Cooper, 25, of North Vancouver. A provincial court judge recently handed Cooper a 45-day jail sentence after he pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of participating in a riot. Cooper looted the downtown London Drugs store on the night of the riot and was captured on video stealing a cellphone. The drug store has ﬁled small claims suits against at least eight

people in connection with the riot. A second North Vancouver man, Mark Stephen Blyth, is among 47 alleged rioters being sued by ICBC for damage to vehicles during the riot. ICBC is seeking just under $520,000 for claims it paid out for at least 122 vehicles damaged in the riot, along with $6,400 it paid to drivers for expenses. Blyth is named in court documents among 16 people allegedly involved in damaging a grey 2008 Nissan Versa. ICBC later paid $9,600 to settle the owner’s insurance claim. Blyth is scheduled to be sentenced on a criminal charge in connection with the riot this fall. — Jane Seyd

Foundation funds pilot project From page 9 equipment. The pod is not intended for people offering a feebased service, but rather it is a place for library users to meet others in the community with similar interests and ideas. NVDPL acting director Corinne McConchie says making the library an inclusive place that is welcoming to all is a key priority. “We hope the Community Pod will help strengthen bonds among community members, by providing them with an inclusive environment in which to share and learn from one another,” she said. The Community Pod is a pilot project made possible thanks to a $10,000 donation from the Vancouver Foundation. — Christine Lyon

Hit and run witness sought

A hit and run that left a cyclist with a broken arm June 10 has left police looking for a witness.

A 21-year-old North Vancouver man riding a red mountain bike collided with a dark-coloured sedan on Mount Seymour Parkway and Plymouth Avenue at approximately 7:15 a.m. The cyclist fell to the pavement, causing his injury. The driver did not stop, according to police. North Vancouver RCMP are interested in speaking with the driver or anyone who witnessed the incident. Any information can be sent to Const. Troy Bevan by calling 604-985-1311 and referencing ﬁle number 2013-14588. — Jeremy Shepherd

Or will she allow Clark to commit us to another court challenge — this time a human rights case that’s brewing in the wings here on the North Shore. Will Gordon drive home to Liberal voters in KelownaWestside that roads can be re-aligned and potholes repaired this year or next, but that a young person who cannot enrol in cancelled employment-preparation programs — whether here in North Vancouver or in Kelowna — is set back for a lifetime? However the byelection plays out, the North Shore is represented by Liberal MLAs. So, if we’re condemned to play by the political rules outlined by Clark, we should be looking forward to some pretty good handouts, eh? Did I say “disgusting”? rimco@shaw.ca

Featured artists Mike Wakeﬁeld and J. Knutson An opening reception for Reclamation, the latest art exhibition at Deep Cove’s Artemis Gallery, was held Friday. A full house of art lovers were in attendance, interested in taking in the sights and sounds of the multimedia group show featuring sculptural works by Susan MacDonald and son Eric, photographs by North Shore News photographer Mike Wakeﬁeld and a soundscape by singer-songwriter J. Knutson. Reclamation turns an eye on our industrial legacy, and was inspired by North Vancouver’s working waterfront, including the area’s shipbuilding history. A Solstice Celebration of Art and Sound, featuring a performance by Knutson, is being held at the gallery Friday, June 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. The show will remain on display until July 1.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to HOME & GARDEN

Turning a house into a home

Program helps furnish rooms, change lives Christine Lyon clyon@nsnews.com

RUTH Kershaw knows that a home is more than just four walls and a roof. For almost ﬁve years, she has been helping to provide furniture and household items to people on the North Shore who are transitioning from homelessness to independent living, as well as those eking by on a limited income. “You can just get on with your life when you have the stuff you need, but when you start to look at the cost of a bed, a couch, a kitchen table, dishes, pots, most people have scrunched together just enough for their damage deposit and their rent and they don’t have anything more. They’re still living in a state of hopelessness,” Kershaw says. “If you were standing in an empty room and you had your coat for your blanket and somebody offered you a bed, wouldn’t it make everything feel different?” Kershaw founded Shelter to Home in 2008 in response to a request from the North Shore Lookout Society. “Tom” had just left the society’s North Vancouver shelter and was living in an empty room with no money for furniture. Kershaw, who is a volunteer co-ordinator at the society, approached her congregation at Highlands United Church and quickly collected the items Tom needed. “I simply stood up at my choir and walked away with everything,” she says. A few days later, she received another request for help. For the two and a half years that followed, Kershaw’s garage and guest room were packed full of donated chairs,

Things turned around when the program received some community grants, allowing Kershaw to rent a much-needed storage facility. Around that time, Highlands United Church made Shelter to Home one of its ofﬁcial outreach ministries. “Now here we are coming up to our ﬁve-year anniversary and we’ve helped about 550 people,” Kershaw says. Every month, the program aids about 15 North Shore clients. Some are overcoming drug and alcohol addictions, some have mental illness, and others are simply out of work.

Clients are referred from the North Shore Lookout Society, the Harvest Project, Sage Transition House, Hollyburn Family Services, BC Housing, the Canadian Mental Health Association and other agencies. Lookout manager Linda Fox says Shelter to Home has helped many people move on with their lives after a stay at the North Shore shelter. “They can actually start a life when they get out of here and get a place, for real, as opposed to still being in limbo,” she says. Having clean furniture close at hand also means the shelter can quickly replace any items that have grown

an unwanted infestation, Fox says. “We don’t have a huge bedbug problem at all, thank goodness, because we’re able to do that.” Kershaw now works with a team of 10 volunteers, all members of Highlands United Church, who help organize and transport donations. She says Shelter to Home always welcomes new donations, especially countertop appliances, as long as the items are in good condition. “If you wouldn’t put this in your own guest room, or you wouldn’t give it to your own child to set up their new

apartment, it likely won’t work for us,” she says. Her goal is to level the playing ﬁeld for residents who are going through a rough patch. “Enough is what we’re trying to provide. It’s not just enough stuff, I think people should have enough dignity and enough hope and be able to get on with their healing,” she says. “The whole point of getting them established is so they can become useful citizens again and actually get into jobs again — I’ve seen that happen and that feels good.” To donate to Shelter to Home, call 778-331-8465.

HOME BUILDING BY DESIGN

Adaptation key to affordability Dalit Holzman Contributing Writer

VANCOUVER and our beautiful North Shore are expensive. Not really news, right? We’re all fully aware of the ranking that puts our lifestyle-rich region almost at the top of the world’s least affordable in which to own a home, one of the trade-offs we make in order to wake up each day in this most special of spots. But really how do all the stats and ﬁgures translate into relatable bits across the generations who constitute our community? Well, let’s bring out the apples and compare them shall we? When my parents were my age (almost 40 in 1986), the price of a bungalow in Vancouver was $117,100 and the median total income for a family of 2 or more was $30,660. Simply put, the 1986 bungalow cost 3.8 times the annual income of the average family. Fast forward to 2013. The same bungalow now costs $786,200 and the median total income for the 2+ person family hovers around

INTERGENERATIONAL cohabitation can ease the ﬁnancial strain of home ownership on the North Shore.

$57,000. This constitutes a whopping factor of 13.8 (up from the 3.8 back when I was dreaming sweet dreams of Expo ’86). Simply put, either the price of a detached bungalow in our area needs to drop to $216,600 or me and my partner need to get more than hefty raises to make a combined $206,895 per year in order for things to be akin to how my dear parents had it. Adaptation has now become key and though some do contort themselves to fit within the financial strain our present in-affordability creates, at some point, many just give up trying for blood from stones. Many downsize (think Surrey’s newest micro-lofts at 297 square feet for $109,000), many move ($220,400 buys that same detached bungalow on Canada’s other beautiful coast), many rent (opting for greater liquidity, private education, retirement savings). And then there’s a surprisingly growing number who are “moving back to Mom’s.” Now, when I say intergenerational cohabitation, don’t think couch surfing, joblessness,

and a nutritional regimen centered on cereal and instant noodles. Imagine instead sunny backyard afternoons with the grandkids, gaining an onsite handyman, sharing some meals, many stories and laughs together. Zoning varies depending on where

you live on the North Shore; however, in every area, a secondary suite for family members is allowed. The details on the shape it all takes from there, of course, vary widely depending on See Consider page 19

Know the simple science of urban agriculture THROUGHOUT human history, plants have been used to create sanctuary, feed and clothe humanity and to cure illness.

Dig Deep

Todd Major

Today’s homegrown food movement has unleashed a new generation of foodies who ﬁnd solace in growing their own food, and in some cases harvesting edibles from the wilds of the world. Harvesting food from the garden or the wild is a ritual rooted deep in our collective DNA. Even my city-dwelling friends glow with excitement when they come for dinner and I ask them to go and harvest lettuce from the

garden for our dinner. It seems to me, however, that the current appetite for all things naturally grown is ignoring some simple science. Firstly, leaching, which in this case is deﬁned as: to dissolve out soluble ingredients (pollutants) by percolation. Secondly, bioaccumulation, which is the accumulation of chemicals or pollutants in the tissue of organisms through respiration, ingestion, or direct contact with contaminated water or soil. And thirdly, biomagniﬁcation which is the process whereby the tissue concentrations of a contaminant increase as it passes up the food chain through two or more See Soil page 18

Soil and water pollution can contaminate roadside edibles levels in the food chain. Those deﬁnitions seem to be missing from all of the policy discussions held by municipal government and other well meaning nongovernmental organizations that are committed to building

food gardens, urban orchards or harvesting wild edibles from the roadside. Don’t get me wrong, I ﬁrmly believe in the urban agriculture movement and it’s a good thing for society which we may even break our unhealthy dependency on the millions of metric tonnes

there’s information out there on the subject of “brownfield contamination” at this link: toronto.ca/health/lead/ soil_gardening.htm which was written based on the methods for Brownfields Risk Assessment developed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, and New York State Departments of Health and Environmental Conservation. Or read the 2011 study written by Sadra Heidary-Monfared published by Environment Canada and the Ecology Action Centre. Soil and water pollution in cities can occur as toxic or polluted liquids leach into soil through runoff, rain splash (meaning: road splash) or from pollutants in the air that settle on the soil and plants as fine particles. Pollution comes from many sources including manufacturing, construction, industrial processes, and emissions from any smoke stack on a building or from any type of vehicle emission. It is not the one-time light contamination of soil that is worrisome; it is the long-term deposition of pollutants into the soil on the side of the road, in industrial lands, landfills or in vacant lands that are of concern and hazardous to human health. Some of the harmful pollutants that can be found in city soils are arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, lead, and selenium. And many types of oil related hydrocarbons including acenaphthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, chrysene, fluorine and pyrene to name a few. There is even a whole science and industry dedicated to remediating polluted sites by using plants to metabolize pollutants out of soil and water which speaks volumes about the ability of plants to take up and store pollutants in their tissues. Knowing all of this basic science means that any plant growing along the roadside is likely holding pollutants in its tissues. So if you want to harvest wild plants for dinner or medicine, first know what you are doing, because many plants are highly poisonous even in small doses. And do not assume that a plant growing anywhere along the roadside, near any type of industry or manufacturing is safe to ingest. Should we stop building community gardens? Absolutely not. Should homeowners stop growing veggies in the backyard? Absolutely not. Should we choose more carefully where we grow our food and community gardens? Most definitely. Blind enthusiasm is not a substitute for scientific understanding and soil testing. So take heed all you policy wonks, well-intentioned citizens and hippie gurus, you have been warned.

HOME

Consider carefully shared space living From page 15

the family members’ needs. A home may mean the young family of four downstairs with full and easy access to the backyard and all its opportunities. Or it may mean Grandma and Grandpa downstairs with no more stairs to climb and less space to maintain. Regardless of the iteration (and there are so many to explore), one thing is undisputable: two families contributing within a big house makes living a whole lot cheaper for everyone. The ﬁnancial model the new relationship creates also is a point of

consideration, fully customizable to your family’s unique needs. Will it be a straight “standard rent” arrangement? Will there be an element of “rent to own” or perhaps an element of barter for property upkeep and maintenance? Might it constitute part of an early inheritance? As stated, the speciﬁcs will make themselves known as your family’s conversation evolves over the course of time, and it is time you should give it. The move toward living under one roof is not to be taken lightly; sharing space (even if the spaces are fully selfcontained) can create challenges after having lived separately for a

decade or more. But homes are usually incredibly adaptable to the desires we all share. Even 100-year-old Heritage Homes can be lifted to accommodate full-height, light-ﬁlled suites and soundproofed to keep conversations contained. Even across our generations, in a culture that holds “self-made” so high, we can lift ourselves toward sharing space and embracing community.

Property Taxes Are Due by Tuesday, July 2, 2013

HOME

Some important things to remember about your property taxes:

Notices of the current real property tax levies have now been mailed. Any property owner who has not received a tax statement should immediately contact their municipal tax office. All owners are responsible for payment of 2013 taxes regardless of whether or not a tax notice is received. New owners must ensure taxes are paid (by themselves or the previous owner). If there is any doubt, please check with your municipality.

There are convenient ways to pay

To avoid lengthy lineups at Municipal Hall please attempt to make payments through telephone banking, internet banking, or in person at a financial institution. If paying your taxes at a financial institution please allow at least two business days for processing your payment and retain proof of payment. If paying by telephone/internet banking please allow at least two business days for processing your payment and retain proof of payment. Payment received by a financial institution on the due date and future dated by the financial institution (next business day) will be considered late and subject to a penalty. Cheques postdated to Tuesday, July 2, 2013 or earlier are accepted and should be received in our office prior to July 2, 2013. Postdated cheques will be processed by the bank on or after the date that you have indicated. Taxpayers are encouraged to deliver or mail payments as soon as possible to ensure payment is received on time. If a cheque is returned by your bank for any reason, the payment will not be considered received and penalties of up to 10%, as well as a returned cheque charge, will be levied.

Don’t forget to claim your Home Owner Grant (HOG)

Application for the Provincial Home Owner Grant may be made whether or not the current taxes are paid. It is to your advantage to submit the HOG application before the tax penalty date of July 2, 2013 to avoid penalty additions on the grant amount.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOME OWNER GRANT APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL FOR EACH AND EVERY YEAR IN WHICH YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GRANT. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Some banks and credit unions do not accept our paper remittance advice, which is also the Home Owner Grant application. If you are paying your taxes at a bank or credit union, please verify if they will forward the remittance advice/Home Owner Grant application to our office. If they do not accept the Home Owner Grant application, it is important that you mail it to our office or apply online in order to receive the grant and avoid penalty.

Save time. Apply online!

You may claim your Home Owner Grant (if eligible) online for the District of North Vancouver at www.dnv.org/ehog, the District of West Vancouver at www.westvancouver.ca/ehog and the City of North Vancouver at www.cnv.org/ehog. You will need the following reference numbers to access your account: (1) your folio number and (2) your personal access code. You can find both reference numbers on the top portion of your property tax notice.

There are penalties for late payment

A 5% penalty will be added to the current taxes outstanding after Tuesday, July 2, 2013. A further 5% penalty will be added to the current taxes remaining outstanding after September 3, 2013.

Is tax deferment an option for you?

The Province offers the following property tax assistance programs whereby qualified homeowners may be able to defer taxes on their principal residence while the Provincial Government makes payment on their behalf: %

USE construction paper to fashion a box in the shape of a grad cap to present a small gift to a graduating student.

Home Ideas

Barb Lunter IT’S the season for caps and gowns and celebrating your loved one’s big day.

They have waited a long time for this day to come so why not celebrate it in style. If you are planning to give a small graduation gift to your teenager or perhaps a friend, here’s a cute way to giftwrap it. All the supplies for this idea are available at your local dollar store or Michaels Crafts. Materials: Black construction paper (heavy weight) Small, round gift box (available at dollar stores) Yellow yarn or embroidery thread Glue and glue gun (or Mod Podge) Black, acrylic paint and paintbrush Scissors Yellow miniature pom pom or yellow bead

These gift boxes can be made in all different sizes depending on the size of the gift you intend to give to your recipient. I like to make them fairly small to fit something like a gift card. Begin by painting your small, round box with the black acrylic paint. Repeat with a second coat and let dry. While the box is drying, cut out a square shape from your construction paper to fit on the flat side of the box. Once the box is dry, glue the square shape on to the flat side. To make the tassel, wind 10-12 loops of yellow yarn together and tie off one end. Make a knot at the other end of the yarn approximately two-thirds of the way down. Cut the loop ends to make the tassel. Glue the opposite knotted end to the centre of the square lid. Glue your yellow pom pom over the knot to secure. Place a little money or gift card inside the box before presenting it to the graduate. Another nice idea to accompany your gift is to make a simple graduation card. Craft stores are full of graduation scrapbook artwork accessories at the moment so it’s easy to assemble a homemade card in minutes.

THE kids were toddlers, the wedding was in Toronto and we lived in Vancouver. Our oldest, Chelsea, was just barely toilet-trained and her brother was in diapers. We decided a road trip was in order. It was the ﬁrst of many and we learned many lessons and tricks along the way. The ﬁrst thing we did was decide that we would drive to Calgary and assess the situation. If we knew that going all the way to Toronto just wasn’t in the cards, we would turn around and make it a successful Calgary trip. While in Calgary we stayed with my high school friend’s parents. That was a great idea. They had raised eight children and loved having little ones in the house. More than that, they gave us advice. For starters, they were optimistic (unlike our childless friend who all thought we were crazy for heading off with two toddlers). They told us it would be fun and we would have lots of good memories. They were right. They also reminded us that kids need lots of breaks. Driving for eight hours straight is not going to work. So we

last a lifetime For over six years, Dr. Rahmany and the staff at Skyline Dental Centre have been committed to providing you with compassionate, professional dental care of the highest standards in a comfortable and relaxed environment. To ensure that your smile lasts a lifetime, here are ﬁve reasons to see your dentist.

1 2 3 4 5 TO HELP MAINTAIN GOOD PHYSICAL HEALTH

TO PREVENT GUM DISEASE, BAD BREATH AND TO KEEP YOUR TEETH

One of the best reasons to take care of your mouth is that people with periodontal or gum disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease according to recent studies. Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream, attaching to fatty plaques in the heart’s blood vessels, causing clots to form. Inﬂammation in the gums contributes to swelling in the arteries. Regular dental cleanings will likely reduce your risk of heart disease and strokes.

Gum disease is an infection in the gum tissues and bone that keep your teeth in place and is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. If diagnosed early, it can be treated and reversed. Studies show that 85% of people with persistent bad breath have a dental problem that is to blame. Good oral hygiene is essential in preventing bad breath. If treatment is not received, a more serious and advanced stage of gum disease may follow, leading to tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings and checkups are key factors in preventing this from happening.

TO DETECT DENTAL PROBLEMS EARLY

Dr. Rahmany and the hygienists at Skyline Dental Centre will be able to detect any early signs of problems with your teeth and gums. Early detection of cavities, broken ﬁllings and gum disease are easily treatable. If these problems go untreated, root canals, gum surgery and removal of teeth could become the only treatment options available. Your hygienist will help to ensure that you are maintaining your oral health and will put you back on the right path if you fall off track with your oral care.

TO PREVENT ORAL CANCER

TO HAVE A WHITE SMILE

According to Health Canada, about 4000 new cases will be diagnosed in Canada this year, and about 1500 people will die from oral cancer this year. When you have your dental cleaning, we use special equipment geared towards screening for oral cancer, which is highly curable if diagnosed early.

Your hygienist will remove most coffee, tobacco and tea stains, and will polish your teeth to a beautiful shine

With our new SpaDent Whitening system, we also provide state-of-theart technology to improve the shade of your teeth in just 20 minutes, WITH NO SENSITIVITY! Ask us about our new SpaDent system. Call us at Skyline Dental Centre for a free consultation today!

PARENTING

Maintain a regular schedule on family trips called we could respond quickly. Each year we added to our experiences. We learned that it’s a good idea to have a number of toys that lend themselves to seated play. We also learned to surprise the kids with new toys. I would pick up some small toys and dole them out from time to time. We developed not only the usual car games but also adjustments on the family favourites, particularly Trivial Pursuit. When older kids are involved in the planning, they are much happier. So let them handle some of the logistics. Whether you have a print travel book or electronic, they love to research what towns with decent motels are nearby. Our kids became expert at reading between the description lines and ﬁnding places to stay that easily met our needs. And doing the research kept them occupied for the toughest time of the

From page 28 could stretch their legs, run around and enjoy fresh air and exercise before getting back in the car. After lunch they napped. Then it was mid-afternoon break with exercise time and a snack. We stopped early in the evening and always looked for a playground. We learned that playgrounds could often be a challenge to ﬁnd but that every elementary school has some sort of play space. Throughout the trip we discovered that with these young kids it was important to maintain the basic schedule. Naptimes, meal times and bedtimes stayed pretty much constant throughout and as a result we found they were open to the new experiences and people along the way. Because Chelsea was newly toilet trained we brought a potty chair so when nature

day, the late afternoon. And speaking of that, we also had a secret I will share with you. We had a hilarious Bill Cosby tape (OK this was before CDs) that we all loved. In the last half hour of the day, every day, we would play the tape and laugh. To this day, all four of us can quote lines from the tape and crack up. So ﬁnd some silly, fun way to pass that ﬁnal leg of the trip. Travelling with kids is all about planning, knowing what they will need and what they can handle. It’s also about attitude. So pack up the car and have a great trip. Kathy Lynn is a professional speaker and author of Who’s In Charge Anyway? and But Nobody Told Me I’d Ever Have to Leave Home.

A36 - North Shore News - Wednesday, June 19, 2013

When the sun goes down and the cold moonlight threatens to chase revelers off porches and back indoors, a patio heater can be a way to keep the party outside.

nights Heating up the patio JEREMY SHEPHERD • jshepherd@nsnews.com

Once the exclusive property of bars and restaurants, gas and electric patio heaters for home use have gained in popularity in recent years.

“The advantage of that is they don’t take any space on the ﬂoor,” he says. “You’re saving space and it’s cleaner as far as the look goes.”

Permanent and portable heaters are available in a variety of models and prices, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, including installation.

Installation sounds easier than it is, according to Filsooﬁ, who says you need experience to optimize the heat.

PHOTO: CINDY GOODMAN

According to Kamyar Filsooﬁ, the founder and owner of Pro Gas North Shore, spending a little more money and getting a professional installation is usually the best deal in the long run. Filsooﬁ specializes in permanent installations, generally mounting heaters on the wall or ceiling.

Kam Filsooﬁ, of Pro Gas North Shore, displays some options for patio heaters to help keep guests warm on cooler summer nights.

A permit is required for any permanent patio heater, and the contractor doing the installation must be licensed. Height limits and safety issues are frequent obstacles, according to Filsooﬁ. “To select which one goes where and works best, that’s where we come into the picture,” he says. “We help

homeowners with the design and layout and the idea of how to heat this patio and what’s the best way to do it.” Choosing between gas and electric heaters often comes down to the patio itself, according to Filsoofi. “Electric patio heaters are more versatile, the gas ones are way more efficient. It depends on the structure,” he says. Portable heaters can be plugged into a wall or serviced with a gas line, similar to the setup for a barbecue, according to Filsoofi. The price of installing a portable heater generally ranges from $300 to $1,000, depending on the complexity of the job, says Filsoofi. However, an existing gas hook-up can cut the installation cost in half. Permanent heaters generally require more design and

material, upping the installation price a few hundred dollars, according to Filsoofi. The work is quite specialized, and while many contractors are technically cleared to do the work, Filsoofi recommends going with experienced workers. “You definitely have to know what these heaters are capable of and where to position them so they work in the most efficient way,” he says. “Not every gas contractor can do this kind of work.” If installed properly, the patio heaters can be a good way to extend evening soirées, according to Filsoofi. “This is not California or Arizona,” says Filsoofi, adding being in Vancouver, with such a short summer period “people don’t have much chance to really sit outside and enjoy it, especially in the evening.”

insects to the traps and keep them away from you. Once the trapped insects expire, you can bury them in the ground to naturally decompose.

Beetles, flies, gnats, bees, mosquitoes, termites, butterflies, moths, and many other bugs can be seen in abundance in the spring. Homeowners concerned about the presence of flying insects in their yard can take various steps to manage sharing outdoor spaces with insect life.

TRAPS There are a variety of different traps on the market geared toward different insect life. Most use some sort of attractant, such as a scent or light, to lure the insects to the trap. Then the bugs fall inside and cannot get out.

Setting traps out very early in the season will help to trap as many emerging insects as possible. You also may be able to trap the queens of certain insects, like bees or wasps, further reducing the number of bugs you will see throughout the year.

Although there are some chemical-based traps or bug “zappers,” there are plenty of natural traps and more humane options, too. Setting traps away from patios and living spaces will lure the

SCREENS If you spend lots of time outdoors, especially at dusk, then investing in a screened-in room may be a good option. This way you can enjoy the weather while the insects stay

PREVENTION Different varieties of insects begin their lives as eggs that may hatch into nymphs or worm-like creatures known as larvae. Often, these eggs are deposited in water or in damp areas. Mosquito larvae, for example, thrive in stagnant water before they turn into winged, biting insects. Keeping outdoor areas free of standing water and ensuring proper drainage are two ways to reduce the population of certain bugs in the yard. Welcoming animals (such as birds and bats) that feed on insects to the yard can help keep insect numbers down. Flies lay about 50-100 eggs at one time. The eggs hatch into maggots in as little as 12 hours

on the other side of the screen. In climates where threeseason swimming is possible, some homeowners actually create screened-in rooms that encompass their entire pool.

Do You Recycle Your Food Yet?

BENEFICIAL BUGS Insects like butterflies and bees are the unsung heroes of landscapes, as they are responsible for pollinating many flowers and plants. Honeybees and bumblebees will generally keep to themselves if their nests are not disturbed and can actually be enjoyable to watch as they buzz from flower to flower. Wasps can be attracted to sweet smells, so keeping sugary drinks and foods covered can help keep them at bay.

landscapes Backyard water features

Homeowners should also consider how much maintenance they are willing to do. Pond owners need to clean debris, check the pH level and generally keep the water clear. Free-standing fountains and pondless waterscapes, on the other hand, require little more upkeep than the occasional replenishing of water stocks.

CHRISTINE LYON • clyon@nsnews.com

A water feature formed with rocks and plants adds a unique touch to a backyard space. This one is on display at Creative Bricks ‘n Blocks.

For some people, it’s the gentle gurgling sound of running water. For others, it’s the sight of sunlight reﬂecting off a calm pond surface. Whatever the reason, water features continue to be a popular garden addition, creating an outdoor landmark that can be enjoyed year-round. There are three main ways to incorporate water into a yard, according to Graham Thomas, president of landscape supply store Creative Bricks ‘n Blocks in North Vancouver. The ﬁrst, and most simple, is a free-standing fountain. These self-contained water features

are ideal for smaller properties and can even make a nice patio accent, he says. Then there’s the traditional pond. These small bodies of water require regular maintenance and are favoured by homeowners who want to create a thriving habitat for ﬁsh and water plants. The third, and most popular water feature, is known as a pondless waterfall. They’ve been around for about a decade, but have come into high demand in the last few years, says Thomas. They are unique in that water cascades over decorative rocks, and then re-circulates.

“It never arrives in a pond, it just disappears into the rocks,” says Thomas. A hidden pump cycles the water back to the peak of the waterfall. “So you have all the advantages of having the sound, if you want the sound, of having the birds and the wildlife coming around to enjoy the water coming down, the serenity of the water cascading, without having to have a pond,” says Thomas. Before deciding what type of water feature to install, homeowners should ask themselves a few questions.

Marcel Koller, of Streamworks Design, explains principals of pondless water features during a demonstration for the public and industry at North Vancouver’s Creative Bricks ‘n Blocks.

“Do you want noise or not? Will you have a power source in that area because you need to power your pump. How much sun is it going to get?”

Those who do decide to construct a pond then have the option of introducing ornamental water plants, such as lilies, and ﬁsh. “If you’re putting ﬁsh in then we pretty much insist that you put plants in because there should be a balance of nature,” says Thomas. He explains that most ponds and pondless water features are built on a similar

foundation. First, a sheet of rubber is put down to act as a water barrier. Most homeowners then select decorative stone to cover the rubber base, as opposed to concrete. “The old traditional concrete construction is almost never used now because the concrete will crack,” says Thomas. From a design perspective, concrete can look “foreign” in the garden, he adds. “It’s better if you can blend things in.” Household residents aren’t the only ones who will appreciate the addition of a fountain, pond or pondless waterfall. “Birds, especially in the sunshine, like to come through and wash themselves,” says Thomas. And in some areas, he adds, water features might even attract frogs, humming birds and butterﬂies.

WV youth band hits a high note

THE West Vancouver Youth Band’s symphonic band was one of only three bands to be awarded gold marks at the recent Con Brio Festival held in Whistler earlier this spring.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Sushi choice left up to chef Romancing the Stove Angela Shellard

Menu suits bustling Saturdays

Chris Dagenais Contributing writer

WESTERN society is one in which consumers demand and expect an abundance of choices. Walking down the coffee aisle of my local supermarket, I am faced with no less than 40 varieties of java, including whole bean or pre-ground, Fair Trade, flavoured, instant, shade grown, and more. One Vancouver–based purveyor even offers a coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive system of the civet cat, a small Southeast Asian mammal that apparently has an appetite for only the ripest coffee beans. The beans are expelled from the cat undigested, but not before first benefiting from the civet’s unique stomach enzymes that help remove the typically bitter flavour of the coffee. I suppose having so many choices eventually permits us to hone in on our favourites, weeding out other options based on increasingly subtle and subjective differences. But this process of elimination, applied to the countless categories of goods we consume, can be a costly and time-consuming process. Wouldn’t it be nice if every now and then someone could help us cut through the clutter and point definitively NEWS photo Paul McGrath to the absolute best choice available? A variety of sushi is on offer at Hamaei Japanese Restaurant. The menu includes If this idea appeals to you items such as amberjack, Japanese sea bream, sockeye salmon, and kampachi. then I have one word for you: permitting, I think omakase is the ultimate way to eat sushi. omakase.

Fresh mozzarella better for Margherita pizza From page 43 crumbled goat cheese. Makes about half a cup.

Quick Margherita Pizza Use fresh mozzarella rather than the regular packaged pizza cheese. Prebaking the crust before topping keeps it crisp. 1 can refrigerated pizza crust dough Extra virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, cut in half 5 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced 2 cups shredded or thinly sliced fresh mozzarella or bocconcini 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 1 ⁄3 cup shredded fresh basil Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unroll the pizza crust dough onto a baking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray; pat dough into a 13-by-11-inch rectangle. Bake the crust for eight minutes; remove from oven and brush with olive oil, then rub with the cut sides of the garlic. Arrange the tomato slices on the crust in a single layer, leaving a half-inch border around the sides. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over top. Bake for 12 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust is golden. Combine one teaspoon olive oil and the teaspoon of balsamic vinegar; drizzle evenly over the pizza, then sprinkle the basil evenly over top. Season pizza with salt and pepper to taste. Cut pizza into eight pieces. Makes

Not every car is ready for off-road adventure Hopping in the car and getting off the beaten path is a favourite summer pastime for many North Shore residents, but things can quickly get hairy for drivers who find themselves mired in the backcountry mud without another soul in sight. To avoid a dire situation such as this, campers and hikers driving to off-the-grid destinations would be wise to do some advance planning. First and foremost, it’s important to know what vehicles can handle what types of terrain. “A four-wheel-drive vehicle is normally a preferable

concept when it comes to getting off the paved roads,” says Max Langridge of North Shore Off Road, which sells four-wheel-drive parts and accessories and services vehicles. But B.C.’s diverse landscape means people with city cars can still access some prime rustic locations, says Langridge. “There’s plenty of spots you can get to in a twowheel-drive vehicle,” says Langridge. “If you’re looking for something just a little more difficult, a little farther out there, there’s just as many spots that would require four-wheel-drive and there’s even spots that would require a relatively extreme four-wheel-drive vehicle.” Car choice is really up to the driver, says Langridge. He has seen plenty of small cars drive into areas he never thought they would be able to access. “It’s the owner’s discretion of how hard they want to go on their vehicle to get to where they’re trying to go,” he says. “If you start getting the vehicle stuck in weather, mud, or if you

But much more serious than dings and dents is the danger of getting stranded. “Things can get serious pretty quick if you’re not planning your ideas out,” says Langridge.

Other backcountry explorers are usually happy to help out a stuck driver, he says, but deep in the woods there aren’t always other people around. “If you’re out there alone and you don’t have cellphone reception, you get stuck, you’re kind of on your own,” he says, adding that carrying a shovel and toe picks in case of emergency is good foresight.

Tires with an aggressive offroad tread will help drivers better handle uneven ground, and a mild suspension lift will allow the vehicle to clear large rocks, logs and water.

>continued from page 46 crossing water at all costs. “Damage to the engine’s very easy, but even without damaging the engine a lot of people won’t think about the electronics of a vehicle that can be very finicky when they start to get wet.” As a rule of thumb, if a driver must cross water, it should rise no higher than bumper level, he says. When it comes to personal and passenger safety, seatbelt use is imperative. “A lot of people think that once they’re off the pavement it’s not as important (to wear a seatbelt), but it’s equally, if not more important once you’re on the dirt roads,” says Langridge. Drivers should also watch their speed and be wary of other people using the backcountry, he says. “A lot of people get on the dirt roads toward the camp site and they forget about the fact that other people might be out there walking or hiking.” With the proper vehicle, safety gear and preparation, a little light summer off-roading can be a fun adventure.

Classic cars require special care In the heady days after the First World War, car manufacturing revved to life on the other side of the pond. Daring young drivers jaunted between garages and racetracks, roaring into a new decade and creating an industry in the process. Brilliant minds like W.O. Bentley called on his experience refining and improving airplane engines

during the war to build a durable three-litre Bentley in 1923. In Blackpool, England, a couple of motorcycle riders kickstarted Swallow Sidecar Company, which eventually turned into Jaguar. Some vehicles, like the perpetually overheating Abbey and the threewheeled Economic, failed to endure. Conversely, the classics, including Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, and the MG, continue to intrigue drivers today. Just like you wouldn’t arm wrestle the Queen, you shouldn’t allow a backyard mechanic to abuse a classic British car, according to Greg Wagorn, the owner of Silk Cat Automotive Specialists.

“It’s just a totally different breed. It’s a classic. You’ve got to step back and take a look. It’s like working on a fine piece of art,” he says. The son of a mechanic and the nephew of several mechanics, Wagorn has always had his hands in cars. After developing an appreciation for British classics during a spell working for a car collector, Wagorn opened shop in 1990, which specializes in high-end automobiles, particularly English cars. “I think it just takes a finesse,” says Wagorn, discussing his philosophy for working on a classic. “You’ll see some people, the first thing they’ll do is stick their head under the car. They don’t put

down blankets, they don’t treat the car as if it’s something special. They just start getting in there and pulling things apart. They put wrenches down on fenders, put wrenches inside the engine compartment.” While many auto assembly lines consist primarily of mechanized mechanics, the classics often have a personal touch. Hand-built Jaguars are particularly interesting due to their somewhat idiosyncratic construction, according to Wagorn. “Each side is kind of different. Bob might be on one side and John might have been on the other side as it’s going through the assembly line,” he says. >continued on page 49

TASTE

Visual presentation of meal proves appealing as well From page 43 to Hamaei, let me dispense with any mystery right up front: the omakase experience here stands up to the very best I have had in numerous cities, including Tokyo and Los Angeles, both epicentres of top-notch sushi. Hamaei is a restaurant with a devotion to sourcing and serving the freshest, tastiest and most unique fish available in the Vancouver market. Omakase dining at Hamaei requires a reservation. The basic omakase meal costs $50 per person, but you can supplement this offering, which is already a substantial meal in its own right, with requests for additional courses or specific menu items. My dining partner Gil and I opted for a $60 option with a request to sample some rare and unusual fish. Our meal began with a small, traditional seaweed salad designed to cleanse the palate. A generous sashimi course followed, offering some of the evening’s most extraordinary fish, which included delicately sliced morsels of amberjack, Japanese sea bream, sockeye salmon and kampachi, a dense-fleshed fish in the yellowtail family. Next came a stunning trio of grilled items, each cooked to different degrees of doneness: a bright pink beef takaki (rare seared beef, almost like carpaccio) with ponzu sauce, marinated Atlantic salmon, and eggplant with a sansho miso sauce. The following two courses were comprised of tempura and grilled eel with cucumber. Little touches like leaf-shaped daikon and sculpted banana leaf adorned the dishes, elevating the visual aspect of the meal to match the remarkable flavours. A delicious assortment of nigiri and maki sushi completed the meal’s savoury courses and included blue fin tuna, red seabream, Spanish mackerel, cuttlefish, and alfonsino. We paired the meal with a chilled bottle of Gekkeikan Horin, a traditional junmai sake noted for its subtly tropical fruit palate and characteristic scent of ripe banana skins. A refreshing and traditional Japanese summer dessert called amitsu finished the meal. It consisted of translucent cubes of agar-agar jelly, sweetened red beans, mandarin orange segments and vanilla ice cream. Hamaei is located at #620-2601 Westview Dr. Reservations: 604-987-0080, hamaei.ca. Chris Dagenais served as restaurant manager for several restaurants downtown and on the North Shore.

Difficult Times –Pet Loss (part 2) For children the death of a pet can be the loss of a best friend, confidant, playmate and protector. They may feel grief, guilt, fear, loneliness, and anger. There may be changes in daily routine. You can help: • Allow them to feel their grief and realize there may be those in your child’s life who won’t understand their loss. • Notify significant others – teachers, child care providers, friends. • Be honest – making up stories around the pet’s death can cause trust issues with you when the truth is discovered. • Share your own experience with sadness. • Read appropriate books. A good one is: Lifetimes: the Beautiful Way to Explain Death to Children by Bryan Mellonie • Honour the memory of your pet – writing stories or poems, drawing pictures, assembling a photo album, displaying a collar or favourite toy. • Allow time before introducing another pet. A replacement is not possible and may interfere with the grieving process.
