Cap West goes to public hearing JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The future of a neighbourhood-deﬁning development in Lower Capilano now rests with the residents following District of NorthVancouver council’s unanimous decision Monday to send a massive project to public hearing. The former CapWest Athletic Club site, located west of Capilano Road between Fullerton Avenue and

Larco pledges $8.5M towards long-awaited community centre

Curling Road, is slated to be transformed into a 451-unit development and community centre.The vacant site will become home to an 18- and 12-storey tower, four lowrise buildings and 20 townhouse units pending council’s approval.

Citing an $11-million ﬁnancial risk for the district, council delayed its vote on moving the project to public hearing last week, much to the displeasure of neighbourhood residents who called on the deliberative body to quicken its pace. Having lived in Lower Capilano for more than half a century, Bernice Carmichael told council: “We have been patient long enough, let’s just do it.” See Community page 5

Teachers’ tentative deal brings relief Students, teachers express hope that school will start Monday JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Students could be back in the classroom by the beginning of next week, after a tentative deal between the province and the B.C.Teachers’ Federation was reached in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Negotiators for the two sides reached the agreement after a marathon bargaining session with the help of veteran mediator Vince Ready. The deal must still be ratiﬁed by the teachers’ union in a vote this Thursday. But parents, teachers and students who woke

up to the news Tuesday morning were already breathing a collective sigh of relief. Grade 12 Argyle student Hannah Green said she was “really, really excited” to hear about a possible end to the strike when she turned on the news. “It’s a big weight off our shoulders,” she said. Green said she’s looking forward to going back to school. “It will be really nice to have some familiarity back,” she said. Sutherland teacher Norm Nichols said he was pleasantly surprised a deal had been reached. “I expected we were probably going to October,” he said. “This has come as a

real relief.” Nichols called the deal “a step in the right direction,” regardless of what’s in it. “It’s better the deal was negotiated rather than legislated,” he said. “There’s a stronger commitment to whatever they’ve decided.” Few details of the deal were available ahead of the agreement being presented to teachers Wednesday. But Premier Christy Clark conﬁrmed in a news conference a six-year term is being proposed. Other leaked details included the possibility of a 7.25 per cent wage hike for teachers, money to address BCTF grievances related to class size and composition and more than $480 million to boost classroom supports. Clark described the

negotiated deal to media Tuesday as “fantastic news” and a “really remarkable achievement.” Clark thanked families for their patience during the strike, adding, “It was a painful thing for so many families to endure this work stoppage.” She called the agreement a “game changer,” adding, “Our kids could be back in school as early as Monday.” Administrators in both North Vancouver and West Vancouver were busy making plans Tuesday to see how early classrooms could be open. Some of that may be determined by what’s in the tentative agreement. “Our goal is to make sure we open schools as soon as possible,” said Dave Eberwein, assistant superintendent of West Vancouver schools. But

there will still be practical issues to work out, he added. Eberwein said administrators have “done a lot of preparation work ahead of time,” but will still have to do some classroom planning with teachers once the picket lines come down. Both school districts will likely start off with a shortened ﬁrst day of school to allow that to happen. The physical condition of classrooms will be less of a concern, said Eberwein, adding schools in West Vancouver have been accessible to janitorial and maintenance staff over the summer. Administrators at both school districts said they expect to send information to parents about a possible ﬁrst day of school as soon as they have some details

worked out. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Tuesday education ministry officials are talking with superintendents to figure out how to deal with the time lost from the school year so far, including how that will change the curriculum taught to senior high school students. “There are plans being put in place right now,” he said, adding they will be announced after the vote is ratified. Eberwein said when the news of a possible agreement came out on Tuesday, “There was almost a palpable sense of relief,” at school district headquarters. “We can hardly wait to get back at it.” Jim Iker, president of the BCTF, was scheduled to speak to reporters after press time Tuesday.

NV man charged with drug trafficking JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A 36-year-old North Vancouver man has been charged for allegedly selling marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms to teens after an RCMP investigation that centred on a house

in the Lower Lonsdale area. Police raided the house under a search warrant Aug. 8 and seized a quantity of marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms. Police allege the man was selling to teens between the ages of 13 and 18.

RCMP spokesman Corp. Richard De Jong said the alleged drug dealer was living in the home at the time. The investigation was prompted by an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers — which De Jong said could have come from any parent, neighbour or

concerned member of the community. Jeffrey Brian Krantz has been charged with both possession and trafﬁcking of a controlled substance. He has been released with conditions that include not permitting anyone under 18 to attend his house.

A North Vancouver woman who won a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal award after she was ousted from her job while pregnant said she hopes the decision sends a message to other employers. Stephanie Lipp, 25, was awarded $9,500 after the rights tribunal agreed her former employer, Mavericks Sports Lounge in Vancouver, discriminated against her when she was pregnant. Lipp said she’s happy with the decision, although she described the win as more of a moral victory than a ﬁnancial one. “I just sincerely hope that any woman who’s being treated like this, that she sees that it’s possible to go in and win,” said Lipp. Lipp said she’s been getting a lot of positive comment — especially from other women — since the decision was made public. “A lot of the feedback I¹ve gotten has been ‘Thank you so much for standing up for me,’” she said. Lipp had worked as a

waitress at the Vancouver bar and had a reputation as a good worker who was popular with customers, according to staff who testified at a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal hearing in August. But after the bar sold to a new owner, in March 2013, Lipp’s hours were drastically cut as part of a scheme to get her to quit. David Lo, former manager at Mavericks, testified Lipp was an “asset to the company” and brought in business. But he said the new owner Michael O’Connell “had an issue with the optics of having a pregnant server working in a bar he had just purchased.” While reviewing a staff list, Lo said when they got to Lipp’s name, O’Connell placed his hands in front of his stomach in a gesture indicating she was pregnant. Lo said he was told to reduce Lipp’s hours and tell her the schedule was “just being re-evaluated.” Another employee, a bar manager, also testified that O’Connell had asked, “What’s with the pregnant girl?” See Server page 11

Community centre still seven years away From page 1 The seven-day delay may result in the district getting its hands on $11 million a lot sooner than was previously planned. The initial proposal was for Larco to give the district an $8.5-million letter of credit at the end of Phase 2 — meaning a tower would be built and occupied before the municipality would get a dime. The new arrangement, which was agreed upon shortly after council voted to delay, calls for Larco to issue the $8.5-million letter of credit before renters move into Phase 1.The district is also scheduled to receive $2.5 million in community amenity contributions upon issuing the building permit. The new deal was possible only because council was steadfast at the negotiating table, according to Coun. Lisa Muri. “After months and months and months of asking . . . in 24 hours Larco simply agreed because we were playing hardball.” But while the money will come sooner, the community centre isn’t slated to be built for seven years — which may be too long for some councillors. “There’s part of me, council, that wonders if it will ever show up,” Muri said of the centre. Looking ahead seven years, Muri wondered if $8.5 million would still cover the cost of labour and materials. Development on the 4.4acre site is scheduled for four phases over approximately 10 years, with construction

Coun. Roger Bassam recalled plans to build a community centre in the area back in 1996. “While government is slow, that’s shameful,” he said, referring to a potential 25-year delay. The problem in the 1990s was the inability to ﬁnd a suitable site, according to Bassam. “I don’t want to be in a position again where we have $11 million and nowhere to spend the money.” Coun. Doug MacKayDunn expressed similar misgivings, wondering if market ﬂuctuations could impact the construction timetable. “Seven years is a long time . . . the market could turn upside down.The condo market on the North Shore right now is almost at its limit.” As one of the project’s champions, Coun. Alan

Nixon implored council Monday to move the project to public hearing, reminding his colleagues that many in the neighbourhood were abreast of the decade-long construction schedule. “Larco have always been clear in their presentations at those meetings, which very few of you have attended,” he said Part of what makes the project distinctive is its focus on alternate housing, including a 45-unit, fourstorey seniors building as well as a six-storey, 74-unit market rental building. The deal with the district includes an agreement both buildings would remain rental in perpetuity. The development was lauded for its diversity of housing, with longtime resident Barbara Brown drawing attention to the beneﬁt that could be enjoyed by the district’s most vulnerable residents. Larco’s development

includes a 125,000-squarefoot underground storage business. The project also entails a bike trail, park and a plaza designed to host fairs and concerts. Once the project is ﬁnished, it will add 97 vehicles to the morning rush hour, spread evenly between Curling and Fullerton, according to a staff report. The increase amounts to one extra car every 1.2 minutes. The public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 7.

Back to school

e’re heartened that kids will likely soon be returning to the classroom where they belong. Premier Christy Clark boasted Tuesday afternoon the tentative deal reached with the BCTF won’t result in a tax increase or deﬁcit spending, which we applaud as well. After months of teachers and the province either ignoring each other or trading barbs in the media, it appears the elements of a negotiated settlement were there all along. Both sides had to give something. Although it appears at ﬁrst blush that the teachers had to give more. It’s highly likely the BCTF saw the writing on the wall. Rather than risk being legislated back to work in October — always the government’s fallback position despite early protestations to the contrary — they

MAILBOX

chose to get the best deal they could at the negotiating table. The province held more cards, but also apparently saw the wisdom in giving the teachers more than $100 million to deal with potential union grievances related to class size and composition. That issue is still before the courts and a third consecutive loss could have cost the government a lot more. Too bad it took both sides so long to reach these conclusions. If nothing else, the protracted strike was an important reminder of the value of the public school system. Not only is it essential to education, it’s also a huge employer, a source of business for local companies, community hub, and social service frontline. That’s a resource worth investing in, and worth ﬁghting for.

Our future premier is in public school today Dear Editor: My high school is closed, and I’m waving at my teachers through a car window every morning when I am supposed to be in school.This is the reality for thousands of students throughout the province as we wait out the labour dispute. I would like to express my personal disappointment with the B.C. government, as there seems to be no urgency to get students back in school. As a child, we have a right to education — an education we have not been receiving. Our government has the responsibility to make sure our rights are protected and our education is preserved, and this is not being done. Anxiety among students is rising as we begin to worry

how the dispute will affect our education. From a student’s point of view, class size and composition make a huge difference in our education. I have been in small classes of around 15 students and classes of 30. In larger classes it was way harder to focus, tests took longer to be marked, and there was less personal time with the teacher. All these things directly impacted my performance. This is contrary to the smaller classes I have been in where there was more time for classroom discussion, more personal attention from the teacher, the room was quieter, tests were handed back faster, and overall it was a much better learning environment. These are things the

CONTACTUS

government should be aware of.Their decisions impact so many students and we deserve the best education possible. Investing in teachers is like investing directly into the future of our province. It may not be tangible, but the

future premier is somewhere in the school system; as well as many other students that will one day play important roles in society. Teachers are the ones inspiring, educating, and supporting us.They don’t do it because it is

glamorous, they do it because they have a passion for it. I see it every day in my teachers and I’d like to see my government respect them as much as I do and really consider if their pay is fair. The bottom line is: I

need to go back to school and so do my peers.We are done being caught in the middle.We are being cheated (out of) our education and our school community.That is not fair. Lauren Bauman West Vancouver

New, higher speed limits spell disaster Dear Editor: The July 18 column by Brendan McAleer about the new speed limits needs a response. I can’t disagree with him strongly enough. The raised limits are a disaster waiting to happen. The week before the increases I drove to Kelowna via the Coquihalla. My speed

on cruise was between 115 and 118 km/h. Some people passed me. I passed some people. Very seldom was the speed differential very much either way except on uphill grades. I came back the day the new signage was installed. I set my cruise to the same speed as always. It is comfortable. But this time there were speed demons

around me. No one was going my speed or less. The only times I had to pass people was up the hills. Down the hills, on the ﬂats, every place the speeds were way up. Trucks, buses, and grandma in her little city car were all going over 120 km/h. I am not an old fuddy duddy from the farm. I have driven the autobahns

in Europe, usually about 180 km/h but now and then a bit faster; 235 km/h in southern Germany. To those who think the new speed limits are just a reﬂection of reality, I hope your dreaming does not put me, my family or anyone I know in jeopardy or worse. Walter Knecht North Vancouver

VIEWPOINT

Ready brings sanity to protracted dispute “It’s time we … restored education as an essential service, to ensure students are never again denied access to the education your tax dollars pay for, simply because of a labour dispute. Every day a child is shut out of a classroom is a learning day lost to that child forever.” — New Era document 2001 Around 4 a.m. yesterday morning, it was announced that a tentative deal had been reached between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. Details of the settlement have not been revealed at time of writing but it’s clear all British Columbians owe veteran mediator Vince Ready a huge vote of thanks for — yet again — bringing sanity to a situation that should never have arisen. If you, as I did, shook hands with the BC Liberals and voted to approve the deals they outlined in their 2001 New Era prospectus, are you feeling defrauded?

Just Asking

I am. And nothing reminded me more of that fraud, than to hear current Education Minister Peter Fassbender telling television cameras that “the provincial government has no intention of legislating teachers back to work,” and then, on Sept. 6 refusing the BCTF offer to accept binding arbitration. Of course not; the longer he claimed government had “no more resources,” the more government hoped mounting public pressure would convince teachers to give up. Bad move. Then, on Sept. 1, Fassbender told the media

the two parties were less than a newly leaking stadium roof apart. Of course, he didn’t put it that way. Instead, with doleful face, he regretted government and BCTF were still “$300 million apart,” as though the problem was insurmountable unless the union caved in on teachers’ demands. This is not to say I was one hundred per cent behind BCTF strategy; I still don’t agree with its decision to take strike action just prior to graduation. But when you consider that no less than four court decisions have come down against a succession of governments, you can’t help but think our Families First crew left teachers, parents and their children to shoulder the grief. So, looking back, what was the ﬁrst move made by the Campbell regime? Eight months after the New Era dawned, Minister Christy Clark tabled Bill 27, the Education Services Collective Agreement Act,

Do you think the city should be allowing the rezoning and sale of public assembly school lands to developers? I do not believe we should be allowing the rezoning of public school lands so developers can increase density in our residential single family neighbourhoods. These public lands should be used by the city to increase public park spaces and playing fields, and to provide much needed locations for daycare and eldercare facilities, and for expanding our network of recreational and healthcare facilities for all our residents!

B.C. Lib legacy projects have cost us billions From page 7

Second, Griffin anticipated class size and composition would, indeed, be an appropriate item to include in negotiation discussions. At this point, it remains to be seen how the tentative agreement proposes to handle that part of the teachers’ demands. However, if we add Griffin’s findings to the B.C. Supreme Court cases won by former Victoria school trustee JohnYoung in 1997 and 2006, we see that together, under the School Act, the province is required to provide all resources from the K12 curriculum that are necessary for students to graduate. Today, “all resources” means negotiating — and funding — an appropriate number of special education teaching assistants in the classroom for students with special needs.

One teacher can’t teach 25 “normal” kids at their pace, explain concepts in English to a kid who doesn’t understand the language, all the while tending to students who have a wide spectrum of learning challenges. Everyone suffers in a system like that. Minister Fassbender made a great play to taxpayers when he claimed the budget had no room for the BCTF demands. Yet, for 14 years, the “business-savvy” Liberals have found funds enough for “legacy” projects and a bottomless pit for legal appeals, for the leaky roof on BC Place stadium, and for the $36 million they squandered on settling with Boss Energy and BasiVirk’s lawyers. One decision or another, those and similar items cost British Columbians billions of dollars.Yet Fassbender and his boss — who, these days, has

to be dragged away from running provincial affairs via Twitter — couldn’t ﬁnd enough dollars to support fundamental education for our future generation? If government was so sure teachers’ demands were all about money, they should have called their bluff and avoided the strike altogether by agreeing to binding arbitration on salaries and beneﬁts. This column has been re-written about six times already and the goal posts are still in motion. As things stand, however, what I’m hoping is that, as suggested weeks ago by a Gabriola Island resident, the two parties will “…unconditionally agree to abide by the outcome of an accelerated court hearing on the matter of breach of contract on class-size and composition with a decision to be brought down before Oct. 31.” rimco@shaw.ca

BMW flees Hwy 1 crash

Motorcyclist sent to hospital, motorist’s ‘erratic driving’ to blame, police say BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Police are laying the blame for a Highway 1 crash that tied up rushhour trafﬁc and sent a motorcyclist to hospital on the driver of a black Beamer who ﬂed the scene. The crash happened in

the westbound lane of the Upper Levels just before the Lynn Valley exit around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. “Everything resulted from poor driving on behalf of another driver operating a black BMW. That erratic driving made the motorcyclist and other motorists take evasive action. In doing so, there

was a chain reaction in which the motorcycle lost control,” said Cpl. Garth Domm, Port Mann Highway Patrol spokesman. The Coquitlam man was taken to Lions Gate Hospital and treated for minor injuries. The driver ﬂed the scene before anyone could take down a licence plate number and unfortunately, the Lower Mainland is rife with black BMWs,

Domm noted. “We have witnesses that verify everything that happened. Just nobody got the plate. If someone wants to come forward with a plate, we would love to talk to them,” he said. Another motorcyclist was critically injured on that stretch of highway in similar circumstances in August when a motorist ran onto the highway to fetch a ladder that had fallen off his truck.

Server hopes ruling sends a message From page 3 Robert Sanchez, former kitchen manager, also testiﬁed to overhearing arguments between O’Connell and another manager after O’Connell told her to get rid of Lipp because she was pregnant. Another time, he said he heard O’Connell yelling at staff to “get rid of that pregnant bitch.” When her shifts were cut back, Lipp asked to

meet with the owner and told him she’d heard from multiple people that he was trying to get her to quit because she was pregnant. He denied that, ended the meeting and walked out. At the hearing, Lipp testiﬁed she was angry and hurt when she heard that O’Connell wanted her gone due to her pregnancy, “especially because so many people knew, but did not speak up against it.” At the hearing,

O’Connell testiﬁed, saying, “he felt there had been no discrimination” against Lipp, according to Human Rights Tribunal documents. But tribunal adjudicator Robert Blasina didn’t agree, awarding Lipp $2,000 for lost wages and $7,500 for hurt feelings. After she was effectively dismissed, Lipp went to work more shifts at her other job at the BCIT’s student pub, before going

on maternity leave. Her son was born in August 2013. Today she is working at another East Vancouver pub and still working part-time on getting her degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia. She said she hopes the ruling sends a message to business owners. “There was no reason for me to be gone other than the fact that I was pregnant.”

Cates Park’s sandy beachfront restored Shoreline remediation to combat erosion from wind and waves JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

After 60 years of slow but continuous retreat, the District of North Vancouver is drawing a line in the sand at Cates Park/Whey-ah-Wichen. The shoreline has gradually eroded over the decades, backing up the beach line by as much as ﬁve metres, according to District of North Vancouver parks manager Susan Rogers. “The beach is sort of dead. The sand and all of this actually helps to nurture it,” Rogers explained. Work crews dropped piles of sand and gravel on the shoreline earlier this month as part of an $80,000 project designed to halt the erosion caused by wind and waves, and possibly exacerbated by global climate change. The weight of the new barrier should prevent

signiﬁcant erosion, according to Rogers. Erecting a wall of stones was considered and rejected, according to Rogers, who said a riprap solution would

sink the spot’s popularity and lead to an “unusable beach in the long term.” Work was carried out in early September to take advantage of the low tide during the day. The work was vital to retain the sandy beach and to preserve a historical site. “With this loss of

the shoreline is a loss of a tremendous cultural resource,” Rogers said, discussing the TsleilWaututh nation’s long history with the land. Small amounts of sand and gravel will need to be added every 10 years to replenish the beach, according to Rogers.

You should learn one thing from the recent infamous hacking of celebrity accounts for nude pictures: a password, however strong or complicated, is not enough to protect your email, Facebook and Twitter accounts. The dozens of actresses, musicians and models whose Apple iCloud and other online accounts were hacked last week all had passwords.Yet their most intimate moments were tossed about online for all to see after their accounts were hacked.Whether by brute force calculations or fraud, someone guessed their passwords.What could they have done differently? Security experts advise using something called two-factor authentication. It’s a bit complicated to set up and will make your online life more annoying since any extra security necessarily sacriﬁces convenience. But it could save you grief. If you’re not a celebrity, the chances of being hacked by an anonymous prankster or stalker are admittedly tiny. But someone you know, an ex-spouse, alienated relative or disgruntled colleague, might be targeting you online, especially if they have a good chance at guessing your passwords or, just as bad, the security questions needed to change your

access to — from needing two-factor authentication. Do that when you’re the only person using that computer or if you really trust your children. (Final tip: protect your PC with a password or PIN). Two-factor authentication is not perfect. It, too, apparently can be hacked, although not as easily as a password. But just as in physical security, the idea is to be a difﬁcult target so that the bad guys go

after easier prey. The tech sites Lifehacker and MobileSyrup have helpful stories explaining two-factor authentication and have direct links to information for enabling two-factor locks on most of the popular online services. You’ll ﬁnd links to both at the online version of this story at nsnews.com.

Forest week upon us

According to the Canadian Forestry Association (CFA), Sept. 21-27 is National Forest Week. Originally named Forest Fire Prevention Week in 1920, the concept was developed to raise awareness about the impact of humancaused forest ﬁres on the Canadian economy and society. In 1967 the event was renamed National Forest Week by the CFA, “to

encompass the many and varied human and environmental aspects of Canada’s forest resources — past, present and future,” according to its website, canadianforestry. com. On March 2, 2011, Canada’s House of Commons approved a private members motion by MP Royal Galipeau to declare the Wednesday of National Forest Week to be National Tree Day. This year, National Tree Day

will take place on Sept. 24. One of the primary events for the association this year will be the 11th Canadian Urban Forest Conference in Victoria from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. The CFA promotes those events to, “encourage Canadians to learn more about Canada’s forest heritage and to raise awareness about this valuable and renewable resource. Forests are fundamental to our economy, culture, traditions and history — and to our future. Communities, families and individuals depend on forests for their livelihood and way of life,” according to its website. National Tree Day is promoted through Tree Canada (treecanada. ca) with several events planned across the country. Tree Canada ﬁnds ﬁnancial support through more than 50 different corporations and individuals. Tree

> Attend a complimentary yoga class

Canada has planted more than 80 million trees and greened 550 schoolyards across Canada since its inception. That’s quite an accomplishment for a group that does not publicize itself very well. Among the most noteworthy of corporate sponsors of National Tree Day is the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (fef.td.com). I have spoken of the TD Friends before in this column, and I do not work for the bank. However, consider this fact: Since 1990, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation has provided $60 million in funding to more than 20,000 community-based environmental projects in Canada. Worthy work like that needs recognition. Yes, I know there are other worthy community partners but they do not put their money where their ideology is, not nearly as well as the TD Friends do. Besides consistently funding green projects since the 1990s, TD covers the administrative cost of their foundation, which they claim, “allows 100 per cent of the money raised to go directly to programs.” In the past 10 years I have spoken many times of the beneﬁts that trees provide to people.

Trees offer beauty benefit From page 18 The benefits are real, scientifically proven and financially valued but not widely understood. For example when it rains, trees, especially conifers like cedar, hemlock and fir, absorb and slow down the rainfall’s percolation into the soil and municipal storm sewer systems. This ongoing benefit has been poorly misunderstood for many years by homeowners and municipal engineers. Slowly things are changing though and street tree planting, streamside or riparian area planting and

highway roadside planting of trees has become common to take advantage of such benefits. Not to mention the many other climate maintenance and beautification benefits that trees afford. Another interesting advantage to growing trees is the beauty benefit that improves with age. My smartphone lasted two and a half years before dying. The tree I planted in my front yard to block one particular view of the park across the street, was planted in 1994 and its beauty benefit has significantly improved while providing

privacy. And all I had to do was water each year during summer drought. The tree, or “she” as I call our Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), was planted at three feet tall from a cutting. The tree is now 10 feet taller than the roof peak on my house. She is stunning to look at all year and her exotic foliage makes a noteworthy specimen in my neighbourhood. I see people from time to time stop in front of our house to touch her foliage that hangs just out to the road edge. The looks

Use decorative paper to add flair There are many ways to add decorative ﬂair to your dinner table. It’s not always necessary to invest in expensive candleholders when you can put together a few pretty votives with relative ease using craft supplies. Creative supplies can be found everywhere from your local craft outlet to neighbourhood dollar stores.

Barb Lunter

Home Ideas

Be sure to check out the paper section of craft stores such as Michaels as you will be amazed at what you ﬁnd. Everything from glitter paper, vellum and prepunched decorative papers may be found in their very large paper section. I found these fantastic pre-punched papers for $4 per sheet in a few different colours and textures.Two

sheets were enough to assemble two medium-size and two small votives. Be sure to save any small cylinder vases that may have been given to you as a ﬂower arrangement. If you don’t have any on hand then a quick visit to the dollar store will solve the problem.These cylinders are available in many different heights and sizes. Choose one to two

different heights to intermix on your table. Measure the pre-punched paper to ﬁt the cylinder and carefully cut off the bottom edge. Secure along the cut edge of the paper with clear

scotch tape. Repeat with the remaining cylinders. Place a small votive candle or pillar candle inside each cylinder and place on your dining table. lunter.ca

Cedar sisters keep growing strong

From page 19

on their faces when they touch the spiking foliage is another beauty beneﬁt that I reap. I have never pruned much except an occasional branch. She has no pest or disease problems and produces cool little cones to use for decoration. We love her so much we planted another tree, Cryptomeria japonica, Sekkan Sugi, right next to her so she would not be lonely. Together the cedar sisters adorn our property

and the neighbourhood. Animals live in both trees from time to time, bees make occasional nests and birds sing me awake on summer mornings from their perches up high in the sisters. It is hard to put a monetary value on all of those beauty beneﬁts and I don’t care to, it is a matter of good karma.

Do you know someone who deserves recognition for making a difference in West Vancouver? The District of West Vancouver is currently seeking nominations for its Community Awards Program. Awards will be presented in ﬁve categories: arts and culture, civic commitment, environment, heritage, and health, wellness and activity. New this year is the award in the health, wellness and activity category. Awards committee co-chair Lori Cameron said this new

award is intended to recognize healthy living and activities that are not organized sports. “We felt there was a need and opportunity to incorporate a way to recognize active and healthy lifestyles and the quality of life that we enjoy in West Vancouver, which we believe is second to none. The new award is intended to recognize and capture the essence of a different group,” Cameron said in a press release. All award nominations will be reviewed by the awards committee, which will forward its

recommendations to district council for ﬁnal selection. “We have outlined the criteria to recognize a diverse range of individuals or groups who make exceptional contributions, and that’s what keeps it so interesting,” Cameron said. Nominations must be submitted in person, by mail or online by Sept. 30. The awards will be handed out at a presentation ceremony Oct. 27. For more information, or to ﬁll out an online nomination form, visit westvancouver. ca/awards. — Christine Lyon

BEFORE & AFTER

Our clients challenged us to design a completely R unique space while working with what we had. We modiﬁed the existing millwork by stripping away the predictable espresso colour and injecting distressed turquoise. To make this kitchen one of a kind, we removed the interior panels in the upper cabinets and inserted antique chicken wire glass and added some set lights from an old CBS studio.

PARENTING

Failure can be a learning experience for children Helicopter parents hover; they are always there to make sure that there are no bumps in the road for their children. Another aspect to this dynamic is the fear of failure. That is, fear of our children’s failures. All too often we want to protect them from all failure. Is that a good thing? I would say no. Failure is a part of life; any time we try anything, particularly anything new, we may fail. The challenge is to learn from failure rather than resist. Twelve-year old Ayden has a social studies test tomorrow. His parents set him up with his books and guide him through his studies. He reads a section then they sit with him and quiz him until they know that he has the information securely stored in his memory. They do this for about two hours and then review the material in the morning. Twelve-year old Alex has the same test tomorrow. His parents wish him the best, send him off to study and let him know that they are there for him if he needs any assistance. Alex spends most of his time fooling around and very little of it studying. The next day Ayden does well on the test and Alex fails. What did they learn? Ayden learned that he can count on his parents to ensure that he’s ready for anything; it is not up to him. He just needs to be present.

Parenting Today

Alex learned that if he doesn’t take responsibility for his homework there will be consequences. He learns that he needs to settle down and do his homework. His failure has been a personal learning experience. We know that research, innovation and discovery do not come as automatic successes. The most exciting breakthroughs come after hours, days, months or years of effort and failure. But each failure brings the researcher one step closer to success. But she needs to have learned that failure teaches a lesson and then she is able to move on with the new and improved information. Think about when your child was learning to walk. Now this is usually a four to 10-month process. The baby starts as a newborn who can wave his arms and legs, learns to roll over front to back, back to front. From rolling they start to wriggle, then crawl and so on. The point is that each

stage brings lots of failure but our persistent children stick with it and move forward despite falling on their well-padded bottoms or bumping into furniture. But one day they are walking and then running and then jumping. They have no concept of failure, they just see process and learning from their mistakes. We need to allow our kids to continue with this attitude. Instead of blaming the teacher and protecting our youngster when he has a problem at school, we need to work with the teacher and help our child learn from their mistakes. Kids who are protected by caring parents from dealing with their shortcomings soon learn that they can do anything they want because there are no consequences. They are not learning to take responsibility for their actions. When we overprotect or cover for our kids, when we protect them from the consequences of their mistakes, we are not raising children to become capable young men and women. They are actually in for the shock of their lives when they hit a postsecondary institution or the workplace and learn that they, and they alone, are responsible for their actions. They will have difﬁculties problemsolving, they will shun being innovative or creative (which almost always

includes some failure) and they may experience paralysis from anxiety when they have to handle disappointments and move on. It all starts when they are little. I watched an 18month old toddler crawl under an end table and get stuck. He cried. His mother sat on the ﬂoor close to him and talked him out of his dilemma. She resisted moving the table and scooping him up in her waiting arms. He learned to pay more attention to where he was going instead of just barreling ahead hoping it would all work out. Failure can be a gift. Let your children learn from both their successes and their failures and they will become capable young men and women.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Meal features skilled service Chris Dagenais

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for fresh B.C. apples, which are now in season. page 36

Back when I worked in restaurants and was conﬁdent in my ability to run a busy room, I had an unusual dining experience. I was having Sunday brunch with a colleague at a bustling Kitsilano hotspot.The room had grown progressively busier as our meal went on and we noticed that our server was alone on the ﬂoor, juggling all aspects of front-of-house service. One of her coworkers must have called in sick. We slowly realized that her seemingly easy smile was pure affect; she was getting demolished out there all by herself. Distressed by her situation, my colleague and I stood up, intercepting our server on her way to the kitchen. “How do the table numbers work here?” I asked her.Without missing a beat, she pointed to table number 1, showed us how they were counted from there, and fetched us each an apron.We slipped into makeshift support mode, seating guests, running food, topping up coffees, and resetting tables.Within half an hour, the service crunch had subsided and we were on our way. I was reminded of that event on a recent visit to Tamarind Hill, a popular

Malaysian restaurant in Central Lonsdale. My dining partner, Mike, and I were seated at the last remaining table in the restaurant at around 8 p.m.The room was teeming with guests at various stages of their meals and plates were flying out of the kitchen pass. A young woman, calm and collected, deftly managed the frontof-house dinner rush all by herself. Unlike at my brunch experience, however, she coped with the volume brilliantly, replenishing water, delivering bills, taking meal orders, even stopping in to quality-check tables, all in a practiced and efficient style that never betrayed the trying volume of patrons. The highly skilled service at Tamarind Hill, requiring precision and foresight, is a good metaphor for Malaysian cuisine itself, in which numerous, vastly different ingredients and flavours must find a harmonious balance to create a viable dish; if any element is off kilter, it can compromise the success of the whole. The flavours at Tamarind Hill are bold; notes of ginger, coriander and lemongrass enliven tart bursts of lime, tamarind and vinegar, while soy sauce, palm sugar and creamy coconut milk temper the heat of chilies. Malaysian cuisine is a complex and artful interplay of unique elements that may seem incongruous when listed on paper, but come to life in a magical way on the palate. Mike and I selected an ambitious assortment of dishes from the large menu. First up was lamb Murtabak with Gado Gado: two densely packed rolls of roti canai (pliable, skillet-fried flatbread) stuffed with marinated, lean

For an appetizer, the rolls were enormous and immensely satisfying, a great value plate at just $9.85.The accompanying salad, Gado Gado, is an ingenious blend of roasted potato, cucumber, green beans, bean sprouts and tofu, all topped with a rich and spicy peanut sauce. Next up was Malaysianstyle calamari. At ﬁrst glance, the calamari looked like any other: thin rings of breaded, deep-fried squid served in a pile with a dipping sauce.That sauce, however, crimson in colour and featuring tangy notes of tamarind and spicy chili, was a profound point of difference and made the dish remarkable. Be sure to thoroughly soak each ring of squid to get the full impact of this deceptively tasty creation. The star of the meal was seafood Assam curry,

an assortment of white fish, prawns, mussels and cuttlefish in a thick, deep orange curry sauce that hit the full spectrum of taste categories from sour to umami. Assam is the Malay term for tamarind, and the tart, aromatic fruit found a wonderful expression in the curry, balancing the richness of coconut milk and pungency of shrimp paste. Purple eggplant, tomato, green beans and tofu rounded out the mix and made the curry an outstanding feat of flavour fusion. We also sampled a dish of Singapore-style Laksa, one of the more renowned culinary contributions of the region.This dish was a soup-like blend of thin rice noodles, onions, tofu, shrimp, egg, bean sprouts and caramelized shallots in a pale, sweet-and-sour coconut milk-based broth. Despite its formidable size and lengthy list of

ingredients, the Laksa seemed light, almost refreshing, perhaps owing to the discernible citrusy acidity of the broth. A ﬁnal shared plate of Mee Goring was a generously portioned dish of noodles with beef, shrimp, eggs, vegetables and tomatoes.The noodles had a mildly smoky ﬂavour from being fried at high heat, and the dish served as a nice means of absorbing the sauces from the other plates. Our meal of two appetizers, three entrees and two local beers came to $89 before gratuity.

Fall apple season now in full swing

Angela Shellard

Romancing the Stove

The things I most associate with autumn are mellow golden light, crisp days scented with woodsmoke, and the crunch of a beautiful apple from the new crop. September is the peak of apple season, and every year there seems to be another new variety to try. While old favourites like Golden Delicious, Spartan and Granny Smith

are still great choices, newer strains like Gala, Braeburn, Fuji, Ambrosia, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp and Envy are excellent all-purpose apples. Just be sure to pick ﬁrm, unbruised fruit that is fragrantly “apple-y”.You’ll note that all of the recipes below feature another ingredient that conjures up thoughts of cold days and earthy sweetness: Canada’s national treasure, pure maple syrup. Maple-Apple Upside Down Cake

1 cup pure maple syrup 3 apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths - a tarter variety like Granny Smith works best 2 cups all purpose ﬂour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ¼ tsp salt 3 large eggs ¾ cup buttermilk 2 tsp vanilla ¾ cup butter, softened 1+1 ⁄3 cups sugar Vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream for serving Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Generously butter and ﬂour a 10-inch round cake pan. In a large saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer syrup until thickened and reduced to about three-quarters of a cup, about 20 minutes. Pour the thickened syrup into the prepared cake pan and arrange the apple slices on top in two concentric circles, overlapping them slightly. In a medium bowl, whisk

In a glass measuring cup, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk and vanilla. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about three minutes. Beat in the dry and wet ingredients in three alternating batches (dry, wet, dry) until batter is smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl a couple of times. Spoon the batter over the apples and spread it in an even layer; bake until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes to one hour. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cake cool for 45 minutes. Place a serving plate on top of the pan and quickly invert the cake onto the plate; tap the pan firmly to release the cake. Serve

Family meals made easier Family Meals, by Michael Smith, Penguin Books, 288 pages, $32. TERRY PETERS tpeters@nsnews.com

He may have authored six cookbooks, hosted three television shows and prepared food at two Olympics, but when chef Michael Smith is in the kitchen of his Prince Edward Island home, he is just a dad making dinner. Smith believes in the importance of cooking real food and avoiding processed foods. He promotes involving the

whole family in the preparation of meals. From planning and shopping for ingredients to preparation and cooking, there is room for children and adults to participate. Before the recipes,

Smith offers some great advice on making meals a family affair. He starts with 10 ways to cook together, then 10 tips to keep the family kitchen running smoothly, followed by 10 strategies for organizing your family kitchen. Each list is loaded with good, practical advice and promotes the kitchen as a place where the family can come together to create something they will all share. The 100 recipes included in this book are divided into 10 sections that cover breakfast, lunchboxes, slow cookers, meatless meals, sweets and

In this additional section, Smith offers all kinds of ideas on different variations, storing leftovers, preparing in advance, extra spices and a wide range of cooking advice. Smith connects with the reader through his easy-going style and an attitude that says we are all just trying to do the best we can for our families. He just made it easier to do that with this book.

Long way back for Capilano

When you’re on a struggling sports team with only one win to your name, the last thing you want to hear is that the league is taking that one win away from you. That was the situation faced by the Capilano University men’s soccer team after they went 1-2 in their ﬁrst week of PacWest league play this

month. One of the team’s players, defender Omar Adlani, earned a one-game suspension at the end of last season after receiving his third yellow card of the campaign.The suspension carried over to this year but that info got lost in the summer shufﬂe and Adlani ended up playing in the team’s ﬁrst three games this season, including their only win, 2-0 over Quest University Sept. 6.

said Dailly. “Defensively we’re playing well but I think we’re defending too much,” he said. “By the time we get the ball we’re tired and we don’t keep possession as well as we should. Attacking-wise we need to tighten things up — we’re not creating enough chances and not scoring enough goals to win games. It’s putting a lot of pressure on the defence and goalkeeper to keep the ball out of our net. . . . Our forwards are pretty young. We expect a lot more than we’re getting from them. We’ll push and push and push and see what we can get from them.” Dailly is counting on leadership from captains Thomas Arnott, a fourthyear defender from West Vancouver secondary, and third-year midﬁelder Devan Woolley, a Sutherland grad. Woolley was a PacWest second team all-star last season, the only returning 2013 all-star on the team. “He’s a workhorse in the middle of the park,” Dailly said of Woolley. “He’s everything you want as a coach. He gives you 110 per cent every game, he wins every header, he’s very strong in challenges. He can play, as well, when he gets the ball at his feet. He’s one of those guys you’d want at every position around the park. He leads by example and his work rate alone is tremendous.” Other players expected

to lead the squad are midfielders Vaughn Andrews from Coquitlam and Andre Pietramala from Port Moody, defender Matt Fuji, also of Port Moody, and forward Keith Jackson from Seycove. Jackson is only in his second year but is already one of the team’s mostexperienced strikers. He scored a header against Quest and has come close on several other occasions. “He’s played well,” said Dailly. “He’s had a few very good opportunities and unfortunately hasn’t been able to cash in just yet.” With their slow start the Blues are in danger of missing the playoffs for the third straight year since they won PacWest silver in 2011. It’s quite the swoon for a team used to massive success — the Blues have won 11 provincial gold medals and six national championships since the league began play in 1970. “It’s not enjoyable,” Dailly said of Capilano’s recent struggles. “Even this year’s team, I’m looking at them and we’re very happy with the 22 guys we have on the roster, but unfortunately we’re just underperforming right now. Everyone on the team has more to give. I think we’re fighting it a bit right now, lacking a bit of confidence.” Following last weekend’s losses the Blues were seven points out of a playoff spot with 10 games left in the season.They’ll look to get into the win column this

weekend when they travel to Squamish Saturday for a rematch against Quest before hosting the Vancouver Island Mariners Sunday afternoon.The Mariners are currently first in the league with a 4-1-0 record that includes a 3-1 win over Capilano on opening weekend. It’s a long road back into the playoff hunt but Dailly said the team is nowhere close to giving up. “There’s no reason to panic just yet,” he said. “What’s done is done, we just have to obviously start getting some results, start climbing the table here inch but inch.” Dailly laid out the blueprint for what the team needs to do to get back into contention. “We basically go day-byday — it’s the old cliché,” he said. “We’ve got three practices this week, we’ll obviously look to clear some stuff up that’s giving us some difficulty.We’ll work on those things in training and get prepared and ready to go for Saturday. We’ve got to take it gameby-game.We’ll look to get a favourable result on Saturday and same again on Sunday.” ••• The Capilano women are tied for last place in the PacWest league with two points through five games. Both Blues squads will take on VIU at Capilano on Sunday with the women kicking off at noon and the men to follow at 2 p.m.
