Bear gobbles Great Bear cookies Brazen bruin breaks into vehicle, steals ‘paleo’ diet-friendly treats

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Some cheekily named baked goods will soon be living up to their name after a bear broke into a car parked in the British

Properties Saturday night. Tracy Lydiatt was visiting friends on Rabbit Lane for the weekend and left her “Great Bear Patties,” in the car overnight. She awoke Sunday morning to neighbours alerting her

the rear window had been smashed. Lydiatt said she immediately knew it wasn’t the work of a human. “All of our valuables were there. Looking around the broken window, there was a lot of mud and slobber, basically, and then I found some black hairs on the car. Also there’s some claw marks on the leather,” she said.

Lydiatt developed the organic, gluten-free, non-genetically modiﬁed, soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan chocolate coconut gogi berry cookies to market to fellow Crossﬁt athletes, who like to keep to a “paleo” diet consisting of only natural ingredients that would have been available to foraging cavemen. Bears appear to have that

in common with Crossﬁtters, Lydiatt noted. “We also actually had a bag of Cheezies in the car and it didn’t touch that so we’ve been joking about the bear having good taste,” she said. The name came from the treat’s (physical) resemblance to bear scat. “As I was stirring it in the bowl the ﬁrst time, I looked

down and thought ‘These look like bear poop,’” she said. ‘It’s a cheeky, inspiredby-nature name.” Ironically, Lydiatt had just one bag with her, which she had brought to town because of her nomination for the B.C. Food Processors Association’s Rising Star award. See Residents page 5

West Vancouver Police are still looking for witnesses after a fatal cycling accident on the Lions Gate Bridge Sunday afternoon. A 52-year-old North Vancouver man died after falling from his bicycle while riding north on the east sidewalk of the bridge. The man was cycling over the bridge with his wife when the accident happened at about 12:30 p.m. Const. Jeff Palmer of the West Vancouver Police Department said the victim struck a cable support buckle as he fell on to the sidewalk and broke his arm. There was also damage to the victim’s helmet.

CapU accused of censorship Studio arts professor cries foul after efﬁgy removed from view

Horseshoe Bay shop awarded damages

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A laid-off Capilano University studio arts professor is crying censorship after a piece of protest art he sculpted during the 2013 budget season that saw his and several other programs suspended has disappeared from campus. Blathering on in Krisendom, an acrylic polymer statue depicting university president Kris Bulcroft and her poodle Margaux as ventriloquist dummies wearing an American ﬂag and skulland-crossbones gown had been on display in the studio arts department and at North Van galleries since May of last year. When artist George Rammell went by the department last Wednesday, he saw that it had been removed. “They got a hold of me months ago and . . . told me they had decided against any punitive action on the basis of my freedom of expression and now they’ve totally reversed that by attacking my work in the middle of the night, taking it away without even talking to me. It’s censorship,” Rammell said. Rammell said the statue is in keeping with the long-protected tradition of political cartoons, which target those in power. “There’s nothing illegal about it, I didn’t think. This is Canada. We’re not in Iran or China. Political caricature is a very consistent tradition in the arts,” he said. “All my teaching has been around questioning power structures. For 23 years, I’ve been teaching students

to not let their art get used as a smokescreen and to look at the powers behind agendas you may not approve of.” The efﬁgy’s mouths are movable, allowing them to be used in puppet shows. The American ﬂag draping it represents Bulcroft’s nationality. The skull and crossbones gown is a metaphor for dead programs, faculty losing their livelihoods and students who won’t be there in the future, Rammell said. Dogs, in artistic tradition, represent a knowing spirit that can speak the truth when everyone else has lost sight of it, Rammell added. At issue for Rammell is the way his and several other courses were cut by the university during a $1.3-million budget shortfall in 2013. A recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling found the administration was in violation of the University Act when it suspended the programs because the board of governors had failed to develop a policy on the discontinuation of programs in consultation with the university senate, which includes 10 faculty members. Board of governors chairwoman Jane Shackell released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying her decision to order the statue removed was not arrived at lightly. “Our university is committed to the open and vigorous discourse that is essential in an academic community, the inherent value of artistic expression, and the rights to free speech and protest that all Canadians enjoy. No one wants Capilano to be a place

I am satisﬁed that recently the sculpture has been used in a manner amounting to workplace harassment of an individual employee,

intended to belittle and humiliate the president. This led me, as board chair, to take action.” Shackell said administrators have offered to give the statue back on the condition that he not display it on campus again. That still amounts to censorship, Rammell maintains. While the debacle is not yet resolved and the university heads into its

2014 budget, Rammell said he’s found inspiration to continue making efﬁgies as art. “I haven’t done portraiture for 30 years and this sort of revived it for me. I’m planning to do another piece. I’m planning to do Stephen Harper’s portrait and I want to cast it in solid bullshit. I actually have the bullshit in buckets already,” he said.

A company that bought a commercial gift shop property in Horseshoe Bay in a deal that guaranteed it exclusive rights to sell souvenirs and ice cream has been awarded over $93,000 in damages after a judge found the development company, Primex Developments Horseshoe Bay Ltd., reneged on the agreement. Aria Holdings Ltd. bought the commercial strata unit in the Galleries on the Bay development in July of 2007. In part, the company bought the property and included an exclusivity clause to protect its existing businesses in the area, including the Sea to Sky Dollar Café and a Baskin Robbins franchise, according to court documents.The company hoped to set up shop next to Starbucks, to take advantage of foot trafﬁc. Instead, competing retail shop Bayview Convenience opened between Aria’s new shop and Starbucks, in a unit owned by one of Primex’s largest shareholders.That shop sold many items Aria was supposed to have exclusive rights to, according to court documents. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gordon Funt recently awarded Aria $93,500 for losses caused by breach of the exclusivity deal, following a ﬁve-day trial last year. Funt dismissed Aria’s claim requesting damages over an alleged promise to be located next to Starbucks. Funt noted Aria’s contract was drawn before Starbucks had signed a lease. Funt also noted Aria’s owner did not back out of the deal after discovering he would not be next to Starbucks in the development.

Cycling advocates call for sidewalk barrier From page 1 Ambulance crews and ﬁreﬁghters raced to the scene and the man was rushed to hospital but died a short time later. Police don’t yet know which of the man’s injuries proved fatal and whether those were connected with the fall or not, said Palmer. The B.C. Coroner’s Service is investigating the actual

cause of death. The man’s wife told police she was cycling some distance behind her husband when she was passed by another cyclist shortly before the accident. She said her husband fell from his bike after the cyclist passed him. Another witness to the accident also reported seeing the man fall as the other cyclist passed him.

Palmer said it isn’t clear whether the cyclist clipped the victim as he passed. Police are hoping to speak with other witnesses as well as the other cyclist — who hasn’t been identiﬁed — to clarify the circumstances around the accident. Palmer said while police have received some statements from the public, ofﬁcers would like to get

more information. The cyclist is described as a white man in his 40s, who was wearing a helmet, sunglasses and riding clothes. He also had earphones in his ears. Palmer said it is possible the cyclist — who didn’t stop after the accident — wasn’t aware of what happened after he passed by. A year ago, a 61-year-old North Vancouver woman

was struck and killed by a West Vancouver transit bus on the Stanley Park causeway during Bike to Work Week. The cyclist was heading downtown on the sidewalk when she lost her balance and fell into trafﬁc. Following that accident, the provincial Ministry of Transportation committed to safety improvements for the causeway.

Surveying work on the project was conducted this spring. Eventually the public will be asked to comment on any proposed changes. Cycling advocates have urged the province to consider a sidewalk barrier to prevent cyclists from falling into trafﬁc, as well as a wider sidewalk. Any changes will have to be approved by the Vancouver Parks Board.

Residents urged to be bear aware From page 1

The cookies are distributed locally at Sprout Organic Market in North Vancouver’s Queensbury neighbourhood and at Nourish Market in Lynn Valley Village. But the cookies weren’t the only thing on the menu for the bear in question, according to Christine Miller, education coordinator for the North Shore Black Bear Society. The same bear may also have opened the rear door to a vehicle parked just one street away on Moyne Drive early Sunday morning. “There was Easter candy

in the back so he has a sweet tooth, this bear,” Miller said. Since the break-ins, the society has been posting signs and reminding people about best practices when it comes to bear attractants and cars. “People are very aware now that they cannot leave any food whatsoever in their vehicles because this bear has learned . . . that food is in cars,” Miller said. Bears have been known to break into cars simply because they were attracted by the smell of fast food that had previously been in the car or by crumbs left on the ﬂoor or between the seats, Miller said.

And he knows how to get into cars either by force or by letting himself in through the door, Miller added. “They’ve lost 30 per cent of their body weight, approximately, during hibernation so once they come out and start getting

themselves regulated, they are quite hungry. That doesn’t mean they become more aggressive, it means they become more opportunistic. so if people leave any kind of accessible food outside for them, they’ll be looking for it,” Miller said.

Art attack

hey say you should never make enemies with someone who buys ink by the barrel. We’re not sure if that holds up anymore but clearly, making enemies with an art professor with access to acrylic polymer has its drawbacks too. With the latest chapter in the ongoing saga at Capilano University being a dispute over a quintuple-chinned efﬁgy of president Kris Bulcroft, we worry the discussion is getting off track. The nastiness stems from the poor handling of consultation with faculty during the 2013 budget season that saw courses cut, including studio arts. Then there’s the fallout from a court ruling that afﬁrmed the administration was running afoul of the University Act when it passed the budget. Faculty have a right to be angry and the administration has an obligation

MAILBOX

to operate in the confines of the legislation. But meanwhile, there’s a new budget challenge to face and consultations to be had, and this fiasco isn’t helping. Perhaps not wanting to bite the hand that feeds them, both the administration and the faculty have remained conspicuously silent when it comes to a lack of funding from the province. Out of 24 colleges and universities in B.C., Capilano’s funding places it 23rd thanks to the Liberals reneging on promised funding that would come with the college transitioning to a university. There are so many fingers pointing at Bulcroft these days, you could lose an eye just walking across campus. There may be others worthy of George Rammell’s sculpture and wrath, but we humbly submit they don’t work at the university. They work in Victoria.

Technology-free learning has beneﬁts Dear Editor: Re:Tablets Required for W.Van Secondary Students, April 23. I am disappointed that West Vancouver secondary is asking all students to use an iPad, tablet or laptop in the classroom. Studies have shown that when notes are written by hand we activate regions in the brain that

involve thinking, language and working memory. Typing notes rather than writing them decreases the amount of information retained, translating into poorer recall.The more information is presented in a passive way (i.e. using the Internet to read information instead of referencing a book), the less likely the

student is to remember it. I realize there is an attraction to keep up with technology and that students have regular access to technology already. However, I caution the rampant adoption of technology in the classroom. This move is not only expensive to implement for parents and schools,

but may be hindering students’ learning instead of supporting it. I encourage parents and teachers to look at the speciﬁc beneﬁts expected of this technology in the classroom before jumping to adopt it. As we have seen, children do not need tablets in the classroom in order to learn how to use them;

they’re learning outside the classroom already. It shouldn’t be about making it easier for teachers to plan lessons — rather, it should be about ensuring students are learning and retaining the information they learn in the most effective way possible. Caroline Chambers North Vancouver

‘Neglected’ Mathers Avenue trees outgrew the neighbourhood Dear Editor: The May 7 front page North Shore News article does not accurately reﬂect the views of other Mathers Avenue residents.The recent developer-purchased property in question had been completely neglected

by the previous owner for at least the last 28 years that we have lived on that street. Virtually no landscaping was done to the north side of the property bordering Mathers Avenue.This has resulted in about nine trees having grown out of control.They

CONTACTUS

are 80 to 100 feet tall. Large branches have been breaking off whenever a storm or snowfall hits the area. I assume that the original intent by the homeowner was to create a hedge that has now gotten way out of control.

My observation of a signiﬁcant number of such large Ambleside location trees ﬁnds them located on the north, east or northeast side of the properties in question. I would ask such homeowners why these large trees are not located on the

south or southwest side of their properties. So please be respectful of the impact such large trees have on your neighbours. From my perspective, trees do outgrow neighbourhoods. Hans Stripp West Vancouver

Waterfront proposals a ‘mess of things’ Dear Editor: It is good to be updated about Presentation House Gallery getting closer to the waterfront. Like Coun. Pam Bookham, I wonder why a gallery would be located to compete with waterfront views, but I am more bafﬂed at no mention of the recently erected fence.That fence is steps away and announces the proposed 18-storey tower next to the proposed gallery. Somehow we have a mess of things proposed for what should be a magniﬁcent entrance to our city.We have heard proposals for a ferris wheel, skating rink, gallery and somehow a giant shadow caster.We are so close to doing it right, yet so far away.

A watery slalom for tankers to navigate would be destroyed. First Nations have lived on the land slated for the Northern Gateway pipeline since the last glacial period. They need to have the last word.We have treated them abominably. Even (the late governor general) Lord Dufferin said, way back in the mid-1800s, that “when it comes to the Indian (land) question, B.C. is skating on very thin constitutional ice!” I think we’re about to fall through it. I have doubts about the choice of Kitimat for such a port. Looking at the map

it seems that tankers would have to take a few prohibitive turns to get to open ocean. Let’s remember these ships are a lot bigger than the Queen of the North. There is another port alternative: Prince Rupert. Back in 1911, Prince Rupert was designed and built speciﬁcally for trade with Asia because of its location on a deep and open harbour, 500 miles closer to Japan than Vancouver. If we must ship this resource offshore, my professional opinion as a planner (retired) would be to locate a reﬁnery

in Prince Rupert, which is already on a trans-Canada rail line, thus man-altered (as opposed to pristine) land along it. No need to go for the incredibly destructive effort of drilling through mountain ranges, and spanning river valleys.

In all of this, however, let’s remember that the tar sands mining area has now irreversibly destroyed an area larger than many a sovereign state. How much more land do we sacriﬁce? We will never meet our greenhouse gas abatement plans at this rate.

The toxic soup left behind in poisonous lakes will haunt our grandchildren’s grandchildren, and maybe beyond. Do we really have the right to do that for mere money? Eva Lyman West Vancouver

Dear Editor: Re. Refinery a Safer Solution, May 7 opinion column: I agree with David Black’s assessment of the danger of shipping bitumen via tanker from Kitimat. I disagree with the proposal of locating a refinery in Kitimat, however. Recent programs on the Knowledge Network about our Pacific coast in their series Over the Edge show the thousands of islands, large and tiny along the coast creating a watery slalom for tankers to navigate. Some mariners have said that the huge tankers proposed for this task simply couldn’t make the turns. Why not a refinery closer to the source of the bitumen? The logical place would be Alberta, near the resource; however, if we want to create B.C. jobs, then how about a location in northern B.C., before the start of the pipeline through the province? Pipelines can also suffer ruptures, and not only our coast is pristine, the untouched (at present) wilderness along the proposed pipeline route

City hands out Onni amenities Childcare, affordable housing for Safeway site BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Shore Neighbourhood House and the YWCA of Metro Vancouver will be on the receiving end of roughly $10-million worth of childcare space and affordable housing in Onni’s redevelopment of the old Safeway site. Council granted Onni an extra 82,000 square feet of developable space in exchange for 6,100 square feet of childcare space and 10,000 square feet (roughly 10 units) of affordable housing when the project was approved last year.

After seeking proposals from a number of nonproﬁts, council voted May 5 to grant North Shore Neighbourhood House a long-term lease for the childcare space and sell the condo units to YWCA for a nominal fee. The sale will come with a covenant that restricts the owner to providing affordable housing and gives the city the ﬁrst right of refusal to purchase the units back. Should the city decide to sell the units in the future, the cash will go to the city’s amenity fund. S.U.C.C.E.S.S, Hollyburn Family Services, and the My Own Space Housing Society were also invited to submit proposals for the affordable housing. Lonsdale Creek Daycare Society was the only other contender for the childcare space. “They all do excellent See NSNH page 11

Christmas is not cancelled in the City of North Vancouver. The foes of holly seemed to win a skirmish over the season to be jolly when the Lower Lonsdale Business Association bowed out of organizing the Christmas Festival at the shipyards. However,

less than two weeks later, Twilight Markets, known for organizing summer night markets, stepped into the void. “It will be a lot more elaborate and it’ll be over a whole weekend,” said Twilight Markets market manager Ingrid Doerr. The venue for the festival may also move, she said. “While I was all depressed, I thought it was done, it turns out staff was able to work with (Twilight Markets),” said Mayor Darrell Mussatto. Twilight Markets is also slated to replace summer music festival Party at the Pier with free entertainment

Despite organizing the Christmas festival for the last two years and the Party at the Pier since 2008, the LLBA stepped back from both events recently — citing a strained working relationship with City of North Vancouver council. “Those festivals, which the city had designated as its two annual signature civic events, are now dead,” said Doug Ausman, director of the LLBA. Both events generally draw about 12,000 revellers to the shipyards. The association decided to drop out of both festivals following a January council meeting that ended with plans for a Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area being scuttled by council.That scuttling was spearheaded by mayoralty candidate and frequent council-watcher Kerry Morris, who blasted the BIA as taxation without representation. Morris produced a petition bearing the

signatures of 142 Lower Lonsdale merchants opposed to the BIA. “They say ‘Party at the Pier? Our place is like a morgue.You could shoot a gun through here and you’d only kill business owners,’” he said. That assertion is false, according to Ausman, who said area restaurants were busy and the quay food court was packed during Party at the Pier. “One of the quay merchants — not located in the food court — (said) that he had his busiest day ever. Again, the speaker got it wrong,” Ausman said. Morris’ petition of 142 names is insigniﬁcant when measured against the 850 merchants and commercial property owners who operate in Lower Lonsdale, according to Ausman. “Their math deﬁes my logic as a professional accountant,” he said. Ausman noted at least one of the merchants on the petition stated he was pressured to sign by his landlord. The vast majority of business owners and operators willingly signed the petition, according to Morris. “He suggests in his presentation that people were forced or coerced or misled in order to acquire signatures . . . nothing could be further from the truth,” Morris said. Calling Ausman’s presentation “disingenuous,” Morris suggested there may have been an ulterior motive. “They went there to stick me with the blame,” he said.

work but at the end of the day, it’s really looking at specific criteria and what’s going to be a particular good fit,” said Coun. Linda Buchanan, noting both selected groups had proven records in their respective fields. “I think the synergy between these two applications will create a really good opportunity for addressing childcare in our community as well as some inequities for single young women with children.” While Coun. Craig Keating said he is a supporter of both nonprofits, he voted against the motion on the grounds

that My Own Space Housing Society, which aims to ﬁnd long-term housing for adults with disabilities, lobbied council members for the space during the public process before Onni won its approval. “I made it clear all along that I thought the aims and the work of My Own Space Housing were important to the entire development of this project. I think they put in a lot of work,” he said. Coun. Rod Clark stood by the city’s method of putting out a request for proposals. “I’m glad council came to a process removed from ourselves and any

political inﬂuence and went with RFPs (requests for proposals),” he said. “I think that’s a process we need to follow always.” Coun. Guy Heywood voted against the motion on the grounds the assets would end up being liabilities for the city and that the non-proﬁts would rather have capital funding. Heywood voted against the Onni project in protest over the city getting into providing services that should be up to the province. “I think we should learn a lesson about how not to get involved in the jurisdictions of senior levels of government,” he said.

My first exposure to a truly small home was back in May 1990 when a professor of mine at McGill University built a tiny 1,000 square foot house right on the grounds of the university’s downtown campus. Prof.Witold Rybcynski was testing his architectural thesis that a well-designed and flexible micro-home would be appealing to a majority of people who experienced it.The Grow Home, as it was called, was two storeys high and, at 14 feet wide, was small at the extreme. But small meant affordable and the construction cost proved to be a paltry $35,000, a shockingly low number even by construction numbers of the day. Roughly 10,000 people passed through its doors and, although the results were far from scientific, the general consensus was that this tiny residence would be a wonderful place to live with the design meeting with popular acceptance.

Kevin Vallely

Building by Design Rybcynski’s theories on smaller living transformed my thinking back then and his ideas have stayed with me to this day. I’ve grown to believe that living smaller is a must for a sustainable future and that we must discard any notions that living bigger means living better. West Vancouver artist Cori Creed, being a good friend, is well aware of my strong beliefs and recently asked me to join her and artist Tracey Tarling in a collaborative art exhibition to explore how people consume to create their physical world.To Have & To

The argument goes something like this: Invasive plants displace native plants, damage ecosystems, contribute to the loss of habitat for wildlife and cost the economy millions of dollars. The argument against invasive plants is, as Timothy Lee Scott puts it, “Full of ‘scientiﬁc’ theories and far-reaching policies based on opinions of ‘good’ plants verses ‘bad’ plants, in which the federal government, various corporations, nature-based organizations, and the puritanical public allocates billions of dollars trying to control the wilds of nature.” It’s interesting to note that no invasive plants have been eradicated from B.C. despite spending millions of dollars trying. The Invasive Species Council of B.C. deﬁnes invasive plants as: “Any invasive alien plant species that has the potential to pose undesirable or detrimental impacts

Non-native plants are also used in medical research and for homebased medicine. It’s known that many of the native butterﬂies in California feed and breed on non-native

plants found in urban areas. In my own experience, and that of bee keepers I have spoken to, there are several so-called invasive plants that are beneﬁcial bee-feeding plants, namely Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), which blooms at a time of year when few others do so. I See Cost page 18

Cost of controlling invasive species estimated at $1.4 trillion From page 14 have photographed honey bees, wasps and predatory insects simultaneously feeding on colonies of knotweed blooming in late summer.Those few examples demonstrate the value of non-native plants in society. The business of controlling invasive plants has become big business around the

world as countries spend billions trying to control the spread of exotic plants.The perceived threat of exotic plants is becoming expensive with no substantial outcomes clearly deﬁned or realized. Japanese knotweed for example lives in Vancouver and the Kootenay region and many areas in between. How can it ever be eradicated and at what cost? Native plants are

regularly cited as the preferred plant choice to grow in residential gardens because native plants are suited to the environment. Some of the commonly cited reasons to grow native plants versus exotic species are as follows. Native plants are beautiful — but so are exotic species. Native plants are adapted to our climate — but so are thousands of other exotic plants from differing temperate

regions of the world. Due to their adaptation to our environment, native plants are low-maintenance — ornamental grasses are low-maintenance and they are non-native. Native plants have superior wildlife values — tell that to the bear that likes to eat apples. Many exotic plants, like Pyracantha, feed birds red berries in fall. Native plants help regulate climate, prevent erosion and cycle

nutrients — but so do all other plants on earth. As you can see from those examples, the argument for native plants is weak and unconvincing. The biggest obstacle to growing native plants at home is the limited commercial supply.Yes, we can buy a couple of ferns, a native tree or two and a few shrubs but that is all that is available commercially. So do the native plant purists expect everyone to have the same 10 plants in every garden across B.C.? One of the problems in growing a wider range of B.C. native plants is not public acceptance, the problem is that wholesale nurseries have difﬁculty growing many native plants successfully under containerized plant production systems. Many native plants require speciﬁc growing conditions including the presence of mutualistic fungi, bacteria and soil organisms that cannot be economically recreated under containerized production, or in most residential gardens. Exotic plant species introductions are a reality in this era of a global economy

that requires movement far and wide of all manner of commodity.The only logical and effective way to control the spread of exotic plants into our country is to increase inspections at our borders and prevent the problem from occurring in the ﬁrst place. But that would slow down imports at borders, which means the cost for business goes up and so does the cost for consumers. And we would rather have cheap TVs instead of native plants. The Global Invasive Species Programme estimates the worldwide cost of controlling invasive species is $1.4 trillion annually. Much of that money would be better spent on increasing border inspections, developing more stringent trade regulations to stop their spread and researching or developing the potential of exotic species for economic beneﬁt. But in the end, aren’t all plants native to earth? Todd Major is a journeyman horticulturist, garden designer and builder, teacher and organic advocate. stmajor@shaw.ca

]mRP pTQ InTTPmVo Onq QmonO bO Summer camp is often something kids look forward to, and something they will fondly recall long after they reach adulthood. For many kids, summer camp provides a first taste of independence, as youngsters spend significant time away from home without their parents for the first time in their lives. But as great an experience as summer camp can be for youngsters, it can be just as difficult an experience if parents don’t find the right fit for their children.The following are a few things parents should take into consideration when seeking a summer camp for their kids. Staff The right summer camp staff can make all the difference. Many children are understandably shy when arriving at a summer

dedicated staff

camp, as their friends from back home might not be joining them.That can make kids hesitant to participate in activities or less enthusiastic about those activities. But a good staff will know how to make kids feel welcome, which should help them come out of their shells and help them make the most of their summer camp experiences. The quality of staff can vary significantly depending on the camp, so it’s important that parents ask camp representatives about their staff before making any commitments. Ask how long the staff has been together and the types of training new and veteran staff members undergo before the start of camp season. Does the training include first aid and emergency medical training and certification?

lifelong friendships

wilderness outtrips

It’s also good to ask about the vetting process the camp employs before hiring new staff, including the extent of its background checks. Are criminal background checks conducted? How many references must potential staff members supply to be considered for employment? A good camp will be forthcoming with answers to all of your questions, so eliminate those that appear hesitant to share information about their staff. A day in the life When vetting camps, parents should ask what a typical day is like at camp. Many parents want their kids to have a wellrounded experience, while others might want their kids to attend a more :)) .+3%"1)' +3 *6&) ,/

specialized camp, such as a sports camp focusing on a particular sport or a music camp devoted to helping kids become better musicians. Regardless of the type of camp parents are considering for their kids, they should ask about what daily life at the camp is like. Ask to see schedules and how strictly camps adhere

to those schedules.When considering specialized camps, ask if kids will have the chance to simply have a little fun and what type of recreational activities are planned to give kids a break from what are often rigorous schedules. Camp goals Another thing parents should consider before choosing a summer camp

for their kids is the goals of each individual camp. A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kids have fun, even when kids are attending more specialized camps that tend to be more strict. In addition, parents should look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster good relationships with their fellow campers. — Metro Creative Services

PARENTING

Make meal preparation a family affair It was time to prepare dinner. My niece and nephew along with my children were all in the kitchen ready to help. Now, these kids ranged in age from two-and-a-half to six years old. It would seem that the best way to get this crew to help would be to ﬁnd them something to play with in another room. But that’s not what happened.We were making a pizza and I was busy coordinating the effort and directing my merry little band of helpers. I had cut the meat and vegetables and grated the cheese earlier in the day. So the kids got busy spreading the toppings on the crust. One had the pepperoni, one the mushrooms and so on.They loved it. And when it was cooked they proudly talked about how they made dinner. We know that family meals have positive beneﬁts. But cooking and eating together is even better. Research has shown that families that cook and eat together on a daily basis

Kathy Lynn

Parenting Today enjoy better mental, physical and social health. Because they are eating well they also do better in school. Kids who are involved with meal preparation tend to make healthier food choices, which leads to less risk of developing health problems like obesity or eating disorders. They also are inclined to try more experimental foods, expanding their horizons and palates. They develop a sense of self-sufﬁciency, of fun and when there is a family connection, a feeling of togetherness. We know that 27 per cent of families eat supper

together at home two or fewer times a week and 12 per cent eat supper at home less than once a week. These numbers decrease as children get older. Preparing tasty and nutritious meals is a skill they will need when they are ready to head off on their own.The earlier they start, the better they will do. And while they are still at home, you are the beneﬁciary. To start, create a kidfriendly work area. It might be easier for them to work at the kitchen table than at the counter. If they are working at the counter make sure they have a sturdy chair or stool to stand on. Then teach them the fundamentals.They need to learn how to measure, how to mix wet and dry ingredients and how to sauté. Give them a crash course in nutrition. Let them know that they need to plan meals that include foods from a variety of food groups. I remember telling our kids that a salad had to have more than just carrots.They

MAPLEWOOD ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL

KENNETH GORDON MAPLEWOOD SCHOOL

loved carrots. There are good cookbooks available for kids. Once they’re old enough to read, go through them and choose ones appropriate for their age and that ﬁt with how your family likes to eat. It’s also fun to teach each of your children how to prepare a dish that is a family favourite. So that child becomes the expert at that dish and every time you are going to serve it, she is called to do the job. Helping in the kitchen has many beneﬁts. First, they want your attention

while you’re trying to prepare meals so you may as well have them working with you getting your attention and developing an important skill at the same time.They are learning about nutrition and about making choices and planning. And, their selfesteem is getting a healthy boost. When we sit down to a meal that was prepared by 10-year-old Melissa, she is going to feel terriﬁc about herself. If we have a cake for dessert and three-yearold Juan stirred the dry

ingredients, he will know that he had an important role to play in providing this cake that everyone is enjoying. Make meal preparation a family affair.Then kick back and let someone else plan and cook your dinner.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Roasted meats are star of menu

Chris Dagenais

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for cupcakes. page 32

❤

The Meatery, the small, 14-seat sandwich and soup shop attached to Windsor Meat Co. in Edgemont Village, draws on a deep understanding of how to prepare meats in order to offer what are arguably some of the North Shore’s best sandwiches. I have worked my way through most of their menu now and have been struck every time by how a few simple, expertly cooked ingredients can yield such complex flavours. On my last visit, however, I encountered something truly unexpected: a new contender for a best-in-show vegetarian sandwich, an unlikely find in a venue so firmly rooted in the art of butchery. The sandwich reminded me of an experience many years ago at a restaurant on the fringe of Manhattan’s Tribeca district, where I tucked into a plate of spicy and tender satay, that Southeast Asian specialty of marinated, thin strips of meat cooked on skewers over open flame. Flavours of chilies, peanuts and soy enhanced the gorgeously charred, caramelized flesh surrounding the singed bamboo sticks. I would tell you that it was one of the best pork preparations I have ever had, but the truth is, it wasn’t pork at all.

It was my ﬁrst experience with this remarkable substance that mimics the texture of meat with frightening accuracy and lends itself very well to both marinating and grilling. I was tempted to march into the kitchen of that restaurant to unearth the slab of lean pork that must surely have been tucked furtively into a corner by a group of crooked chefs trying to fob it off as a vegetarian dish, but my server assured me that seitan is a very real meat alternative. Since then, I have noticed in shops and on menus a

growing roster of vegetarian foodstuffs designed to emulate the textures and flavours of meat. Much of it is made from soy and some of it, when prepared creatively, can be pretty tasty.Too often, however, I find that these ingredients sell short the potential of vegetarian food by simply swapping out the principal protein of a meat-based recipe with a soy ingredient rather than developing an original vegetarian dish that can stand on its own without the use of a meat substitute. I found it refreshing, if a touch ironic, to encounter a truly well thought out vegetarian sandwich at The Meatery in the form of a ciabatta bun filled with thick slabs of Cypriot halloumi

cheese, vine ripened tomato, pesto, arugula, and garlicky artichoke aioli.The hefty sandwich struck a great balance between essential elements of taste, including salty (the sheep’s milk cheese from Cyprus), tart (the ripe tomato), bitter (the rocket) and sweet (the artichoke aioli and the basil in the pesto). Now, let’s be clear here: the halloumi sandwich notwithstanding, the star of The Meatery’s menu remains the selection of thoughtfully prepared, inhouse roasted meats that comprise the restaurant’s self-described “butchery to bun” philosophy.The Meatery has committed to using only local, ethically raised, non-medicated ingredients in their

sandwiches, all drawn from the butcher with whom they share a space. One of the restaurant’s crowd-pleasing favourites (an assessment based on the consistency with which others in the queue seem to order it) is a Hoisin-braised shortrib sandwich topped with pickled cabbage and guacamole, also served on an imposing wedge of ciabbatta.The mountain of tender shortrib meat featured in this creation, still dripping with its own braising liquid, makes the sandwich almost heavy enough to bench press, though physical exertion of any kind following one of these monsters can prove challenging.

Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin. In the bowl of a stand mixer, place the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder.Turn mixer on low speed to combine dry ingredients. Add the milk, oil, egg and vanilla to the flour mixture and mix on medium speed until well combined.Turn mixer off and add the boiling water. Turn mixer on to lowest speed and mix until the water is absorbed into the batter. Be careful, the batter is very runny and will splash everywhere if you’re not careful.Then beat on medium-high for one minute to add air to the batter. Fill the lined muffin cups three-quarters full and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool for five minutes, then remove them from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.When cool, ice with chocolate buttercream. Makes 12 cupcakes. To make icing, beat the icing sugar, cocoa and butter together on low speed until well combined. Add vanilla, then add milk a little at a time until icing is at desired consistency.

Craft beer complements meal From page 31 taste, the guacamole on this otherwise stunning sandwich was superﬂuous, competing with the meltin-your-mouth beef rather than enhancing it. Other sandwiches on the menu include roasted chicken, pulled pork, a cold deli option featuring cured meats and cheeses, and a changing daily creation. In addition to sandwiches,The Meatery features modestly priced salads and soups, the latter made from homemade stock. On my most recent visit, I tried a bowl of cream of chicken soup with white wine.The soup reminded me, in both its

thick, meat-laden texture and concentrated ﬂavor, of the liquid that remains after stewing chicken in a casserole, like coq au vin. The Meatery also boasts a tasty riff on sausage rolls, light, golden brown pastry stuffed to the seams with homemade sausage. These rolls, with their densely packed ﬁlling and caramelized edges, are an excellent accompaniment to the range of craft beers available on tap at the venue.

My recent meal at The Meatery, featuring two sandwiches, two sausage rolls, a bowl of soup and chips, was $35.49 before gratuity. The Meatery is located at 3108 Edgemont Blvd., North Vancouver. themeatery.ca

North Shore Tri turns 25

This year’s race held in honour of Tim Jones and North Shore Rescue ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

There are a few great reasons why race director Mick Maguire and the rest of the North Shore Triathlon crew have chosen to dedicate this year’s race to North Shore Rescue and their fallen leader Tim Jones. The popular race, scheduled for Monday morning, will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year and Jones and his team were there in the early days of the event, helping to make sure the athletes made it through the forests around Ron Andrews recreation centre safely. On top of that, triathletes spend a huge amount of time training in the mountains, sharing that space with the rescue crews who keep those same trails safe. Those are good reasons but there’s one that hits even closer to home for Maguire. “I got lost in the woods one day and got rescued,” he says with a laugh. In October of 2009 Maguire, then still a sprightly 72year-old, went to Lynn Headwaters Regional Park for a training run for an upcoming half marathon but had to change course when his planned route was blocked by a swollen and fast-moving Lynn

Creek. After turning around, Maguire lost the trail.When he didn’t arrive home by late afternoon his roommate called it in and a search was on. Members of North Shore Rescue, including Jones, finally found him at around 10 p.m. — nearly 12 hours after he’d started his run — wearing just shorts and a light running shirt. “I happened to see some headlamps on the other side of the river and I was whistling and shouting,” Maguire recalls. “When we made contact they radioed to a crew that was just up above me a ways. They eventually found their way down and dragged me out of there.” Jordan Back, North Shore Triathlon’s assistant race director and a close friend of Maguire, says the connections between the race and North Shore Rescue go beyond the fact they rescued his good buddy. “They really contribute to the lifestyle that we all lead on the North Shore — it’s just a good fit with what we’re doing.” To that end the nonprofit organization that runs the race will be donating proceeds from this year’s event to North Shore Rescue, as well as See Race page 37

The coaching carousel is spinning again for the Capilano University men’s volleyball team as Nathan Bennett has moved on, replaced by Ryan Ratushniak. Ratushniak, a Manitoba native, won three CIS titles as a player with the University of Manitoba Bisons and went on to a coaching career that included stops at U of M, Red River College, the Manitoba provincial team, the Volleyball Canada Centre of Excellence in Winnipeg and the men’s national B team. “I’m really excited to coach the men’s volleyball team at Capilano

University,” Ratushniak stated in a press release. “The institution has an excellent reputation and I can’t wait to contribute to the development and learning of the studentathletes there. It’s a great opportunity for me to not only be a part of the athletics department team at Cap U, but also the volleyball community in North Vancouver and the province of B.C.” Bennett departs after bringing two years of stability to the Capilano program. The Blues changed head coaches at the end of every season from 2008 to 2012. In the 2012-13 season, his ﬁrst

year with the team, Bennett won the PacWest coach of the year award and guided the team to gold at the provincial championships and a fifth place finish at nationals. Bucking the trend, he stayed on for a second year and this season the Blues finished fourth in regular season play and lost in the quarterfinals at the provincial championships. Bennett has taken a position with Thompson Rivers University where he’ll be an assistant with both the men’s and women’s teams as they make the move from CCAA to the CIS. See Bennett page 37

Race raises more than $200,000 for North Shore charities From page 35 matching donations to NSR up to a $2,500 total and contributing $50 for every team that signs up for the new Police, Fire and Rescue Challenge. The Challenge, set to begin just after the final wave of elite racers gets underway Monday morning, will see emergency responders from departments around the Lower Mainland and beyond competing against each other in a team triathlon. So far teams from Vancouver, Maple Ridge and Surrey have signed up along with the City of North Vancouver Fire Department. “It’s kind of hearkening back to the police and fire games that were held here in 2010,” says Back. “There’s a real community there and a built-in rivalry between the police and fire.” The challenge is one new wrinkle in a race that has grown steadily over its 25 years of existence. The triathlon was initially organized by a group from Ron Andrews rec centre led by Trish Holmes, John Hodgson and Paul Granger. After two years the North Shore Triathlon Club took over the race and has been running it ever since. The race, held every year on Victoria Day, has raised more than $200,000 for North Shore Charities. “It just shows you that it’s a great race and people support it,” Maguire says about hitting the 25-year mark. “We’ve got a great crew that runs it.” Maguire and Back have both been key organizers of the race for more than a decade. Back says the sport has led him to do things he never imagined doing. “I was 18 years old when I joined the club,” he

says. “I’d never been able to really swim or bike, so I never thought I’d be able to do a triathlon. That was my
