City inches forward on Shipyards plan Council divided over $30-million waterfront vision BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The City of North Vancouver is taking some wobbly first steps toward developing the grandiose vision for the central waterfront that both dazzled and dismayed when it debuted in February. The plan for a skating rink, water features, amphitheatre and ferris wheel made its return to council Monday night, with it, 41 recommendations that range from the big-ticket attractions to the more prosaic beautification projects and business marketing. Council hired consultant Roger Brooks to develop the plan in consultation with local businesses and community members last year. Brooks’
estimated cost: $30 million. Though staff originally recommended nixing the shoreline water fountains and the privately funded ferris wheel, council tweaked its plans to leave the two attractions on the table, at the request of Coun. Don Bell who said he’d warmed to the idea after checking out Seattle’s ferris wheel. Coun. Craig Keating urged council to go one step further and endorse all 41 recommendations and have staff come back with a report on how the city can pay for the plan with internal borrowing and an eye to repaying the loans with revenue generated from the city-owned commercial space in the Shipyards. In his final plea to council, Brooks urged the city to adopt the plan wholesale lest it be picked apart to nothing in an attempt to make it please everyone. “I don’t get too many people See City page 3
Third and fourth rescue caches raided BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
For the fourth time since mid-June, a North Shore Rescue cache of emergency life saving gear has been ransacked and vandalized The team learned Tuesday afternoon that the Norvan Falls cache had been broken into — the second time.
“We hadn’t even restocked it yet. It’s abuse. This is just crazy. It’s absolutely crazy. We’ve obviously got a disturbed individual here,” said an exasperated Mike Danks, North Shore Rescue team leader. Danks renewed the team’s plea for information that could lead to an arrest. See Costs page 5

City staff to probe plan’s costs From page 1 contacting me saying ‘Coun. Keating, please slow down on that waterfront.’ Any further slowness would be glacial,” he said, noting it has spent 10 years as an industrial wasteland. “People want us to move forward on this.” But that was simply going too far and too fast for the majority on council who wanted to see more staff parsing of Brooks’ recommendations and more financial detail before making any decisions. “Mr. Brooks isn’t paying, is he?” Coun. Rod Clark remarked. “I’m here on behalf of the taxpayers of the City of North Vancouver and I want to know what it costs. I want to know what the business plan looks like and what the attendant costs to that business plan is going to be.” Coun. Pam Bookham agreed. “I think it’s extremely cavalier to simply expect council to buy into a $30-million vision that could easily cost even more and say ‘Staff, make it happen,’” she said. “I think our taxpayers would be absolutely apoplectic if they read in the North Shore News in the next edition that council G^2.WT .R* 4^32.14.R2 37.+^' . 749S^R.*^' 3U.2WR[ 4WRU' .S7YW2Y^.24^ .R* ]^44W3 /Y^^T 9R ^-2^R*^* 7W^4 .4^ .TT 7.42 9] 2Y^ 0W3W9R ]94 2Y^ FYW7b.4*3 *^0^T97S^R20 jG=_ih; FD__eh8: authorized staff to go out and spend $30 million.” But Coun.

The recent spike in temperatures had North Shore residents heading for the beaches in droves. Mike Darbyshire, school director at Deep Cove Canoe and Kayak, said business has been busy. “It seems like every day feels kind of like a weekend,” said Darbyshire. “There’s definitely been a lot of people down here and our weekends have been exceptionally busy.” Whether it’s kayaking or the growing sport of stand-up paddle boarding,
Darbyshire said people are keen to get out. “Anything that we have that floats, people are willing to take out pretty much.They just want to get on the water,” he said. “It’s definitely a few degrees cooler right by the water down here, than it is even up the street or a little further up the hill. Everyone seems to be here, the beaches are full and people are happy who are in the water.” Darbyshire said the biggest change for them has been the warmer water temperatures. “When we get extended
good weather like this the water actually warms up and so for us when we’re teaching our lessons and we’re learning how to capsize kayaks and practice rescues and getting back in, normally we’re in wetsuits this time of year and occasionally even dry suits, but there hasn’t been a huge need for that,” he said. “There’s a lot more people happy to go in the water.” Sewell’s Marina in Horseshoe Bay also saw a spike in business, with both people cruising the waters in their own boats, as well as rentals. “Definitely a lot of
people enjoying getting out on the water, people coming back, I mean it was so nice out there,” said Megan Sewell. “It was so nice to have the sea breeze, be able to go for a swim.” The North Shore only saw one possible record broken, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Allan Coldwells. “The only site we have is West Van as an actual measurement station,” said Coldwells. “And it did reach 32 degrees (Celsius), which I believe is actually a record.” Coldwells anticipates

change in the upcoming forecast, with temperatures dropping to between 22º and 23º C. “We are expecting temperatures to ease off as we go into the latter part of the week, as we get that flow off the Pacific and more cloud and more sort of normal temperatures,” he said. “So mix of sun and cloud going through into the weekend basically.” Those looking to hit the beaches can be rest assured that they are safe to swim in, according to Vancouver Coastal Health’s
Glenmore residents gave a collective sigh of relief when the District of West Vancouver council defeated a motion to let Collingwood School construction efforts extend into their summer nights. The request was made by Platinum Projects on behalf of Collingwood to relax the noise control bylaw for the site and allow for construction between 5:30 and 8 p.m. during the week. After two years of working on Collingwood’s facelift, the contractor was hoping to extend the hours to finish the project by September school start. But after council heard a handful of Collingwood neighbours plead their case to enjoy their sundecks in the summer evenings, in a 43 decision Collingwood was denied the extension. “I have grandchildren who go to Collingwood,” Coun. Bill Soprovich said at the Monday night meeting before voting against the motion. “But I listened to Mrs. Scott, a very mild lady reiterating, ‘Who stands up for us?’Well, I think I do.” The school is upgrading to a new 7,000-squaremetre wing on the Morven Drive campus, including 150 underground parking spots. Mayor Michael Smith said if the motion were defeated, it would put the district’s bylaw department and Collingwood in an “impossible situation.” “I am sensitive to the neighbourhood — of course I am,” he said. “It’s been a long process there, but the pot of gold at the end of rainbow is when this is finished, the problems of the street — parking, dropoffs and everything else — go away.” Smith said the exemption included an out, which means if the district allowed the extension and the noise level was not adhered to then they’d pull the plug on the later hours. “So logic and common sense tells me that we should approve this motion, hold the contractor’s

‘Quiet enjoyment’ disrupted From page 1 feet to the fire to make sure that he monitors the noise level and make sure that it’s acceptable to the community, and that it is done inside and it is done quietly,” Smith said. Soprovich shot back saying the residents have put up with a lot in the last two years. “There’s something called quiet enjoyment,” he said. “And it’s been disrupted by construction that is ongoing.” Glenmore residents have had a few run-ins with the school since construction started. Last September, Andrzej Lepiarcyzk filed an unsuccessful petition in B.C. Supreme Court to force the school to abide by the district’s 600-student limit at the Morven site.

Costs mount to $25K with latest theft
From page 1
“We need the public’s help to find this person and to get this shut down. It’s a complete waste of our time and it’s taxing our members,” he said. North Shore Rescue members were volunteering at the Kneeknacker Race on Saturday when Metro Vancouver parks staff notified them of the breakin of the cache at Lynn Lake — a four-hour hike through difficult terrain in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. “The first thing we were thinking is ‘No,
not again and it’s at the busiest time of year for us.’ We’ve been extremely busy and it couldn’t come at a worse time from that perspective,” said Doug Pope, North Shore Rescue search manager. “This is coming at a really bad time financially for us as well.” Much like the breakins at Hanes Valley and Norvan Falls in late June, thieves broke the lock, stole the camping, survival and rescue gear and damaged what they didn’t take. NSR members checked all of their remaining caches after the first two were hit, meaning the thief or thieves
things down like Fort Knox because, you don’t expect someone to stoop so low to actually steal rescue equipment,” Pope said. “If a member of the public was in such dire conditions and really had to get in to save themselves, they’d be able to do that.” London Drugs announced a $10,000donation last month but this week’s loss only adds to the team’s fundraising efforts. “This is still a really big hit for us and we’re asking for the public to consider donating at our website (northshorerescue.com),” Pope said.
continued to raid the life-saving gear even after widespread media attention and a police investigation into the first break-ins. The latest loss is pegged at $5,000 on top of the roughly $20,000 it will cost to replace and repair the other damaged caches. The team will also now have to tighten security on the remaining caches – going against the wishes of North Shore Rescue’s late team leader Tim Jones, Pope said. “Tim led our team in developing this network and I believe it was part of his plan not to lock these

T
he City of North Vancouver’s central waterfront plan won’t please everyone. History buffs may not want a ferris wheel. Families may not have an interest in a shiny new pub. Arts groups may have no need for a skating rink and the young people flocking to the burgeoning Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood may not want to spend their spare time in the new museum and archives. But this is the plan’s strength.There is something in it for everyone. It’s also what seems to be hampering its ability to get buy-in from council. The city’s paid marketing consultant, in his parting advice to council members, told them to endorse the plan in its entirety or risk losing the whole thing — and that’s exactly what they didn’t do. In response to this call for unity,

council displayed just how disjointed and dysfunctional it could be, bickering over semantics and narrow aspects of the plan not to one councillor or another’s individual liking and getting bogged down in a late-night procedural mess. In 2012, council fought petulantly over the temporary beach volleyball nets that now draw people down to the site that was previously a fenced-off scar on the waterfront. Of course there are big questions about where the money will come from and lingering logistical concerns, but this is why council has expert staff to advise them. The Shipyards has staggering potential that other municipalities could only dream of. Let’s not squander this opportunity by only catering to the most cantankerous among us.

Electric vehicles not as ‘clean’ as they seem Dear Editor: Letter writer Cory Kinney urges District of North Vancouver Council to install chargers in DNV for electric vehicles. I have no problem with that, if the full costs for these stations, and the electricity, are borne by those who use them. If you force a real-estate developer to install all this equipment and more electrical capacity in a building, all tenants
or owners (with EVs or not) probably pay some or all the extra cost, not the developer. Contrary to Kinney’s inference, I doubt the developer will cut his “profit margin” when ordered to install charging facilities to achieve a social goal. I am sure someone will argue that owners of gasoline-powered vehicles should pay for EV charging stations and electricity too
as a cost of “saving the planet.” I’ll consider that argument when everybody pays the incremental cost for me to buy a more fuelefficient vehicle. It seems to me that the proper solution is for the EV owner to install a charging station at his house, as I did with natural gas for my CNG vehicles. This may not be practical everywhere, but this way the user gets both the cost
and the benefit; others don’t pay his “fuel” costs. Let’s keep in mind that, contrary to the hype, EVs are not emissions free, even in B.C. The carbon footprint of making an electric car, particularly the battery, is so high that it takes about three to four years of EV driving to break even on overall emissions versus a gasoline vehicle. In addition, B.C. imports electricity from
both coal- and gas-fired power plants in Alberta and the U.S.; even electricity from new power plants in B.C. has a carbon footprint, so EVs have emissions if you draw the influence circle properly. EVs may be an improvement over hydrocarbon-powered cars, but they should not be claimed as completely “clean.” John Hunter North Vancouver
John Lawson Park playground thrills young and old alike Dear Editor: As grandparents of young grandchildren, the recent renovations to John Lawson Park have provided nothing but fabulous experiences for our family.

2, kicked a soccer ball trying to shoot a goal past Tom Young; Maggie and Ryan’s other grandfather. For us it doesn’t get any better than this. Mayor Michael Smith
and everyone who had a hand in completing this outstanding renovation should be congratulated. Well done! Bill and Lois Brymer West Vancouver
Tory telemarketing troublesome Dear Editor: Harris Decima called me, offering on behalf of the federal government, a $75 payment to attend a government round-table meeting where we would discuss “things I might have heard about in the news” — a murky description of the agenda at best.When pressed, Decima claimed to have no further knowledge of the subjects up for discussion. This brief call brought two thoughts to mind: 1) How much of my tax money is the Conservative Party wasting on this thinly veiled PR exercise? 2) MP Andrew Saxton could have my opinion for free if only he would open his mail, and read a line or two.

Topping leads to tree collapse Dear Editor: The dramatic picture of the collapsed tree on page 11 of the June 22 edition shows the result of a common arboreal procedure used in years gone by — tree topping. Should a tree be too tall, under a power line or shading a house it was lopped off at the required height and the problem was solved. Not so! With the top gone, the remaining branches grew latterly to a huge size; also, with the heart exposed, the trunk began to rot from the top down. Given enough time, these two events inevitably produced the result shown in the photo. North Shore residents should be forewarned that this event will likely happen again. For comparison, check the chestnut trees in West Vancouver on 17th Street between Esquimalt and Inglewood avenues. James Thomson West Vancouver

Summer is for enjoying parks, not parks repairs Dear Editor: Thanks,West Vancouver, for servicing parks at the peak of summer. It is so frustrating that West Van decides to close or repair beach parks in the middle of summer. Last
year, John Lawson Park was shut down from May to September for renovations. This year, Ambleside has no concession (under renovation) and the vehicle entrance to the park saw “safety road realignment,”
which snarled traffic onto Marine due to single-lane alternating entrance/exit during one of the busiest summer weekends. Recently, I was greeted with the pervasive smell of urine and a huge pile of
garbage when I visited Sandy Cove, a park undergoing bathroom renovations since April 7.We get eight weeks of summer here; can we not renovate at a better time? Sebastian van Wollen West Vancouver

Confederation gets new artificial turf
Field work ongoing to end of August STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com
Confederation Field is getting a facelift thanks to an $800,000 project for new artificial turf. The City of North Vancouver is currently in the process of replacing 12year-old synthetic turf at the park near Carson Graham secondary, according to Mike Hunter, manager of parks and environment.
“This is more than just pulling up carpet and putting down new carpet,” he said. The turf had lived well past its eight-year warranty, but there were also problems with the field’s drainage system, which is getting replaced. Hunter said the city is aiming to complete the project by the end of August. “That’s the target,” he said. “We want to be done when school’s back in session.” Thanks to the new turf’s infill comprised of locally recycled tires, the city qualified for a $30,000 grant from the
Tire Stewardship BC Association, which is a notfor-profit society managing B.C.’s tire-recycling program. Field funding also derives from contributions through sports field users, which come in through the North Vancouver Sport Council, according to Hunter. “Particularly this warmup area we’re adding in the corner, it’s primarily funded through capital contributions through the field users,” he added. The new artificial turf is expected to last another 12 years for the city, Hunter said.

avoiding exposure to the sun as much as possible, said Coldwells. “If you do have to go out stay away from the strongest sun hours, which is 11 (a.m.) to about 3 p.m. in the afternoon,” he said, adding that exposure should be limited to between 15 to 20 minutes
and to apply a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Coldwells also strongly emphasizes the importance of not leaving children and pets in vehicles. “(Vehicles) can actually heat up quite a bit more than the air temperature and that can be hazardous or disastrous,” he said.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to HOME & GARDEN
Express creativity at home Todd Major
Dig Deep
During the course of my work I am often asked to visit the private gardens of professionals and hobbyists alike. It’s a nice perk that goes along with the job. I drop in for a visit, enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy a garden walk in someone else’s creation. It’s an inspiring experience and as a garden builder the stimulation and exposure fuses deep into the green recesses of my subconscious mind, changing and enlightening my ideas. The gardens I’ve seen this year are showing a diverse range that uniquely expresses each owner’s creativity. Many of the most intriguing gardens I’ve seen were created by hobbyists who do not have technical training but have a passion for gardening. Here’s a snapshot of some of the trends in this year’s gardens of summer.

Using low-cost materials, which are often repurposed, the illusion of a campground is created. By using logs, boulders, a bit of sand or gravel, and some cedar or fir trees
underplanted with sword ferns, a simple design can be created. Enhancements I’ve seen include an old car modified to act as seating and a fridge. Also an old wood boat complete with holes made into a half bench seat and half sun cover. And a worn-out potbelly stove that acted as a fire pit of sorts. The options are
only limited by your imagination and memories of camping as a child. Healing gardens Although not new, such gardens are becoming popular and act as places of sanctuary, discovery and rejuvenation for people with long-term illnesses or disabilities. Many of the healing gardens I have

Most incidences go unreported, but bullying can have very serious consequences. Victims can have trouble concentrating in class, not want to leave home and be afraid to engage with social media. These youth can suffer from a variety of mental health and emotional issues including sleep deprivation, anxiety, low self esteem, depression and feelings of isolation and helplessness. Many turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to cope and some have suicidal thoughts.

Beat the heat at home this summer Incorporate cooling strategies into the design It’s getting hot these days and if the climate predictions are correct it’s something many of us will need to get used to. I’ve been spending some work time in Kelowna this summer and was astounded the other evening when my car thermometer read 40 C at 6:30 p.m. Hot temperatures make for uncomfortable living in homes not properly designed for them. But this is nothing new. Human beings have been dealing successfully with hot temperatures long before the advent of the cure-all solution of air conditioning. Here are a few simple strategies and techniques that are tried and true and can be incorporated into the design of a home to help alleviate heat.
2. Cross ventilation Pretty obvious stuff here folks but cracking windows at the opposite ends of a home and letting nature do its thing is a great way to cool a home. Think about predominant wind directions and strategically locate operable windows to maximize this effect.
1. Shade Providing a shading effect over a window in summer is one of the best ways to ease heat gain. The sunshade should be big enough to block out the hot rays of summer while still being small enough to allow winter rays to flood in. A roof overhang can work too if adequately sized and will do double duty of keeping
3. Create a chimney effect Along the same lines as the air flow created by cross ventilation, the chimney effect is even more powerful if designed correctly. Air rises as it warms. Creating a tall open space that rises through the home is the perfect place to create your chimney. Providing an operable skylight at

A stairwell is an obvious choice and with an operable skylight above, not only do you get maximum air flow and comfort but also a splash of light as well. 4. Pick the right glazing Admittedly not a choice for the ancients but glazing selection is a simple and effective choice for us
moderns. The skylight mentioned above would be the perfect candidate for a low-e coating on the glazing to help cut UV rays and diminish heat gain. Adding low-e glass to a window that gets lots of sun is a step in the right direction in temperature comfort. 5. Building mass Building with concrete and stone is a simple and
_iaEa CINDY GOODMAN
easy way to moderate temperature. A heavy construction mass is slow to react to temperature fluctuations and remains cool for much of the day but absorbs enough heat by the end of it that it radiates warmth at night. 6. Courtyard Building a home around an internal courtyard is a wonderful way to capture intimate exterior space while
allowing maximum airflow when needed. Historically, courtyards have always played important roles for building layouts in hot climates. Understanding the simple tricks to keeping spaces cooler is the first step to a more comfortable home. KevinVallely is a residential designer in NorthVancouver. vallely.ca

Join the bug hotel grassroots movement From page 13 plants that provide colour and fragrance for stimulatory effects on mind and body; and the use of water to hear or touch to provide powerful relaxation benefits. The newest offshoot of the healing garden theme is the professional’s retreat, which calms and heals the tired mind. Designed specifically for busy professionals to recharge and relax, the design includes many creature comforts and is built for year-round use.
Insect hotels There’s a grassroots movement of people caring more about the environment and its creatures. Bug hotels are one way of helping bees and other insects to find a home over the winter. I have seen more than a dozen of these creations lately — all of them quite visually interesting. Often made from old cabinets, sometimes newly built cedar cupboards are constructed to hold an array of beds for bugs. The individual bug rooms are made from
pots, sticks, plant stalks, jars, plastic signs, pieces of terra cotta, straw, hollow tubes and so on. The idea is to create a covered structure that holds a multitude of items that insects can sleep in over the winter.You have to be a bug-friendly person to have one in your yard. But if you do you will be blessed with more uniform and sustainable insect control in the garden. Not to mention there may be some extra honey around to enjoy. Food for life
One of my friends recently commented that, “Gardening is a life skill. Once you learn how to grow plants, it becomes a skill for life and you’ll never go hungry.” Food gardening at home has been popular for years. As the trend continues, it seems that any free space is fair game for growing fruits, veggies or a few herbs. Growing veggies in pots is more popular with people in apartments and condos than people with land to grow on. I’ve seen some cool veggie
growing creations lately; for example, a runner bean plant that spanned two adjacent apartment balconies. Another hungry gardener planted strawberries in all of her hanging baskets instead of flowers. Another fellow built two greenhouses on the sides of his house. Although the greenhouses are small, he still manages to grow lettuce year-round as well as chives, peas and tomatoes in summer, and several herbs and a lemon tree. Trends are one thing, sometimes they are worth
following and sometimes not. The most important factor is to choose a style or theme that provides for your specific needs. Do not be worried about how anyone else builds their garden. Create a garden to provide features that fit your lifestyle and reflect your personal taste. After all, individuality is the genesis of creativity.

PARENTING
Expose girls to male-dominated fields Be Like Ada is an organization dedicated to getting girls interested in computer coding and programming. They say that it’s a skill as important as reading and writing and will enable the girls to have many more career options to fill the jobs with the skills we need. Be Like Ada’s goal is to help achieve 50 per cent female engineering grads and to double the number of engineers in Canada. The brainchild of Sandra Wear and North Shore resident Jot Kali, it was inspired by Ada Lovelace, who invented programming and is widely considered to be the first programmer. This information crossed my desk recently and I must admit that my first reaction was, “Coding? what’s that?” I don’t know anything about coding but then I am, firstly, female and secondly, not exactly just entering the job market. But for today’s girls it could be fun and helpful.
Kathy Lynn
Parenting Today Be Like Ada has announced that on July 19 it will hold a bootcamp (belikeada.com/register) for 500 high school girls to learn to code. The event is geared toward girls aged 14 to 17 and will be held at the Rocky Mountaineer station in Vancouver. The girls will spend a day learning the basics of coding. The bootcamp will teach the elements of coding that are fundamental to any programming language. The bootcamp is for girls new or somewhat versed in programming. Introducing girls to coding in a girl-friendly
environment got me thinking. The first thought was whether today’s girls need a separate and special event. And I had to think so because I imagine if a one-day bootcamp on coding was advertised it simply might not occur to girls to sign up. So along with the goal of increasing the number of girls in engineering, another goal can be raising kids ready to look at any new or interesting opportunity. A number of years ago my husband took our daughter, daughter-in-law and son to the Operating Engineers Training Facility Open House. As a result we now have a great photo of my daughter-in-law operating an excavator and clearly having the time of her life. Most of the children and young adults who were present were male. Imagine if a group of girls had shown up and experienced the training involved for operating engineers? Maybe we’d see more girls in that field. For parents, the trick
is to keep an eye out for interesting and different events and take both the boys and the girls. Whether it’s a nature walk, a special event at Science World or the Vancouver Aquarium, a cooking demonstration or a dance recital, all kids can benefit from being exposed to any number of activities.
This will help broaden their ideas and cause them to consider a wider variety of career possibilities. There are summer camps exposing kids, boys and girls of all ages, to a range of sports and academics. They are fun and kids love them. Take a look at the universities and
see what might work for your child. We can also expand our kids’ horizons at home. It’s simple. It starts with avoiding choosing activities and events by gender. Take a look at chores. Do you have your son See Encourage page 25

CARRIER OF THE MONTH JULY 2014 Jake delivers 84 copies of the North Shore News in West Vancouver every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Jakes likes delivering the paper as it enables him to get out and about and meet people in the neighbourhood. He also believes that having a job is a good way to teach self discipline. It has also allowed him to earn money to save up for a laptop and keep busy during the summer, while getting to know his community better. Congratulations Jake! The North Shore News is very lucky to have such a great carrier working for us. Thank you for all your hard work!
Let us know how good your carrier is! Email mastarr@nsnews.com with why your carrier should be considered for Carrier of the Month for a chance for him/her to be featured here.

mow the lawn and your daughter vacuum? Why? What if they took turns doing every chore that needs to be tackled? Let both your kids work with you in the kitchen, laundry room and workroom. Teach your kids how to work the dishwasher, washing machine and Skilsaw. It’s also important to provide good modelling. If you want your kids to learn a wide range of skills, you need to be supportive and encouraging and the more they see you doing
different things, the better it will be. Thinking about expanding kids’ experiences is exciting and fun and no matter what career choices your kids make, they will benefit from knowing a little about a wide range of work options.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE
to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE
Diner does breakfast fare well
Chris Dagenais
The Dish
ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for local fresh veggies. page 32
Good service is a relative thing. This is an idea espoused by my good friend and frequent dining partner, Gil. I put stock in his ideas about restaurants and related subject matter because he is a food and beverage industry professional, a guy who has worked the unforgiving hours, serviced the challenging patrons, and managed the up-and-coming egos in the kitchen of some of Vancouver’s top rooms for more than two decades. I admire his commitment to the business. I learned years ago that my skin was not thick enough to stand the test of time working in restaurants. It is a draining and yet incomparably rewarding industry, best suited to those with a tireless drive for perfection and a bottomless forgiveness for the imperfections of the human species. Gil reminded me of his concept of the relativity of good service over a recent breakfast at Daisy Sandwiches & Such, a gem of a diner off the North Shore’s beaten path on Roosevelt Crescent and Lloyd Avenue. Gil’s concept goes something like this: you can visit a three Michelinstarred restaurant (like Joel Robuchon at the Mansion at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, for instance, where
Gil and I once enjoyed an outstanding 16-course dinner), or you can visit a friendly neighbourhood diner and, in both cases, experience the same level of outstanding service. Service, you see, is all about context. At Robuchon, where a meal for two, before cocktails, wine, and gratuity, will run $700, you expect a degree of polish from the service, a comportment, knowledge of product, and sophistication of plating commensurate to the meal on offer. At the local diner, your expectations are just as demanding, relatively speaking.You need your meal to be tasty, prepared quickly, sold at a decent price, and served by courteous and proficient staff. If the diner meets these expectations on every front, it has succeeded in delivering a flawless meal, just as the platoon of seasoned staff at Robuchon do every night. With the idea of Gil’s Service Relativity in mind, it is my contention that Daisy Sandwiches & Such can go toe-to-toe with the best restaurants in the world; it hit every deliverable we sought in an early morning breakfast experience, and then took it to another level with some thoughtful touches that we did not anticipate as first-time Daisy patrons. Now, let’s be clear. Daisy’s is not boldly pioneering uncharted breakfast territory; foam, nitrogen, celeriac and sousvide pork belly are not on the menu. However, a solid assortment of breakfast staples, including eggs prepared in numerous styles, bacon, sausage, and multiple toast options prevail, alongside a tricky item for short-order preparation, eggs Benedict. Mess up the Hollandaise or over-cook the poached eggs and the whole

Happily, Daisy’s seems to have the entire morning repertoire down pat. My eggs Bennie featured a pitch-perfect Hollandaise, buttery and tangy with citrus notes, applied sparingly so as not to interfere with the bright orange cascade of yolk from two impeccably poached eggs. Gil selected the Good Morning, two eggs any style with a choice of bacon, sausage or ham, shoestring hashbrowns and choice of toast. A side order of French toast revealed a thick, springy slab of white toast delicately dredged in egg and dusted with confectioner’s sugar, which ultimately resembled in flavour and texture a glazed doughnut. It is worth noting that our meals were delivered precisely six minutes from See Attentive page 32

The time is right for local vegetables the best of its all too brief season. Remember, for optimum flavour be sure to use produce as soon as possible after purchasing it.
Summer is a season of abundance, when stores and farmers markets are packed with stacks of gorgeous local veggies. Scarlet tomatoes bursting with sun-ripened goodness, plump, emerald zucchini, bell peppers in stoplight hues, sweet and milky corn, knobbly little new potatoes, it’s enough to turn anyone into a vegetarian. Now that summer produce is at its finest, here are some delicious ways to make

Preheat oven to 350º F; generously grease a large casserole dish (about 9x13) with butter. In a large bowl, gently whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, mustard, garlic and cottage cheese. Add the remaining ingredients, using only half of the basil; stir well to combine. Pour mixture into the prepared pan; cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until cheese turns golden brown. Remove from oven; let cool for five minutes, then garnish with remaining basil and serve. Makes eight servings. SummerVegetable & Quinoa Salad

Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed. Makes six servings. BarbecuedWarm New Potato Salad 2½ lbs small new potatoes (about golf ball size, cut larger ones in half or in quarters if necessary) 3 or 4 large, thin slices of prosciutto, chopped 2Tbsp olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper ¼ cup sour cream ¼ cup mayonnaise 1Tbsp lemon juice 1Tbsp chopped fresh chives 1Tbsp chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley Preheat barbecue to high with lid closed. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook
the potatoes until just tender, about 15 minutes (cooking time depends on size of potatoes). Drain thoroughly and place in a large bowl, along with chopped prosciutto and olive oil.Toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Place potato mixture in a large disposable foil baking tray. Place tray uncovered on barbecue grill; reduce heat to medium and cook with hood closed until potatoes are golden and tender, about 40 minutes. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and half of the chives and parsley in a large serving bowl; stir to combine. Add the potato mixture and toss to coat; sprinkle with remaining chives and parsley and serve immediately. Makes six servings. (Instead of prosciutto you can crumble four slices of crisp, cooked bacon and add them to the salad at the same time as the dressing). Angela Shellard is a selfdescribed foodie.

the time we ordered, a remarkable turn-around presumably reflective of the time-pressed clientele that visits the restaurant on a weekday. Not advertised on the breakfast menu are the nice little accompaniments that find their way onto the plates, including a small earthenware ramekin of baked beans and a mini muffin. Gil’s plate featured a dense and moist zucchini
muffin and mine, a light and fluffy, cake-like strawberry number. We sat outside at one of Daisy’s few patio tables, absorbing the early morning rays of the July sun and remarking on the attentiveness of the service; our coffees were never permitted to be depleted to less than half full and ice water was topped up without a word exchanged. The restaurant seems to do a brisk take-away business for those without
the luxury of time to dine in, and their website suggests phoning ahead for speedy meals. Daisy’s space is bright and cheerful, with a glass display cooler that contains some of the eponymous sandwiches and such, including panini of roast beef, pork, turkey, salami and various baked goods to take out with a coffee. From the modest kitchen in the back of the restaurant issue chicken burgers, pulled pork and grilled cheese
sandwiches, soups and salads. Our meal of two breakfast menu items, a side of French toast, two coffees, two juices and two take-away muffins came to $36. Daisy’s Sandwiches & Such is located at 1089 Roosevelt Cres. daisysandwiches.com Chris Dagenais served as a manager for several restaurants downtown and on the North Shore.

Liver laceration can’t keep Verbeek off podium
From page 35
cadet men’s (U17) division, while Martin Newman of North Vancouver scored bronze in the master men’s 40-49 division. The win for Verbeek, a native of Grandby, Que. who has lived in B.C. for the past two years, capped an impressive comeback for her following two months of inactivity forced by a lacerated liver. “This is a relatively unexpected victory, and I am extremely happy,” she said in a Cycling Canada release. “I did not have many expectations as to my performance coming back from injury just last week, and I think that’s what helped me this weekend. I just wanted to ride, and go as fast as possible. I was eager to ride this very fast course.” Temperatures pushed close to 40 C at the resort near Kamloops, baking the tricky 2.6-kilometre course into a dusty speed chute. Verbeek completed her ride in a time of 3:56.00 to win by more than two seconds. The win earned her the
coveted Maple Leaf jersey given to national champions as well as a sleeve that she will wear for the next 12 months that marks her as the Canadian champ. “I never had the honour to wear the national champion jersey,” she said. “The next year will undoubtedly be quite a different experience. I am confident that my results will follow at the World Cup level. My main goal this season is to break the top 10 at the World Cup, and I hope that the sleeve will give me a little boost.” Shaw proved that he is one of the top young riders in the country with his win in the junior men’s category. His time of 3:39.66 topped Whistler’s Jack Iles by just 11hundredths of a second. The event at Sun Peaks turned into a bonding opportunity for two North Vancouver families as Cole Mooney, son of masters gold medalist Michael Mooney, and Jacob Stefiuk, stepson of masters silver medalist ColinYarrow, hit the same course for a B.C. Cup race being held

inspiring Colin and Michael to follow suit. It’s all worked out well for the old fellas as they both earned
