City flirts with cutting public input Council backs off on outright ban, instead looks to enforce conduct
BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The City of NorthVancouver won’t muzzle members of the public from speaking up at council, but let it be known, anyone who is disrespectful to staff could be banned. Council voted 6-1 Monday night to toss out its old council meeting rulebook and start fresh. Most of the changes are in the realm of clarifications and housekeeping but a plan to eliminate the public input period drew the most heated response.
For the last 10 years, council has allowed residents to sign up and speak carte blanche for two minutes at the start of each council meeting. Most often, it is used to comment on issues on the agenda, but as a city staff report noted: “Quite often the public input received is off-topic, accusatory, repetitive, untrue, promotes goods and services and, at times, includes electioneering.” Ending the pubic input period would bring the city in line with some other Lower Mainland municipalities and still meet the statutory requirements set out in provincial law, staff stated, and residents could still apply to appear before council as a delegation, which allows 10 minutes to address council. But that wasn’t enough to justify banning the practice outright in the minds of 16 residents, representing an array of political backgrounds, who lined up for their two-minute turn at the mic.
Critiques of the plan ranged from the high-minded notions of standing up for democracy and respecting the soldiers who died for the right to freedom of speech to the more practical matters, like the fact residents only get access to council agendas on Friday afternoons, leaving no other opportunity to speak to a matter publicly before council votes or that it takes months to get a delegation. Council was persuaded. A motion from Coun. Craig Keating amended the wording of the bylaw to keep the public input period but also allow members of the public to be prohibited from speaking “...if it is determined they have targeted city staff, in any venue, by behaviour that can be seen to constitute bullying and harassment” under the city’s harassment policy.

Fin whale struck by cruise ship studied at shipyard JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A team of about 15 marine mammal scientists pulled on their rubber raingear and spent almost four hours examining a massive fin whale carcass at Seaspan’s shipyard Monday afternoon, looking for clues about how the giant animal died. The 14-metre-long body of the young male fin whale first came into Burrard Inlet Sunday, caught on the bulbous bow of the Seven Seas Navigator cruise ship from Alaska.The whale was only spotted as the cruise ship came into dock, when it slipped off the bow and into the inlet. Scientists don’t yet know if the whale was alive or See Fin page 9

Accused murderer to seek bail JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A man charged with murdering his wife’s relative, then cutting up the body inside hisWest Vancouver mansion will ask a B.C. Supreme Court justice to let him out on bail later this month. Lawyers for 54-year-old Li Zhao, charged with the second-degree murder of GangYuan, 42, said this week they will seek Zhao’s release at a bail hearing tentatively set for May 29. “He’s presumed innocent
of these charges for now, until he has his trial,” said Joe Saulnier, one of the defence lawyers representing Zhou, outside North Vancouver provincial court on Monday, where Zhou made a brief appearance. “My understanding is he has no criminal record. He’s not known to the police.” “He’s very upset and very worried as anyone would be who’s newly charged with murder,” said Saulnier, in response to reporters’ questions. “He’s never experienced anything like this. He’s never been arrested.”
Inside the court, where a dozen members of Vancouver’s Chineselanguage media showed up to watch the case, Zhou showed minimal emotion as he listened to a Chinese interpreter while lawyers discussed court dates. Outside the court, Saulnier said there was little he could say about the case. “The police are keeping a lot of the details to themselves at this point,” he told reporters. “Normally I’d be getting police reports, witness statements, that sort of thing. I haven’t seen anything
yet.” Saulnier said the fact it took a week for seconddegree murder charges to be approved “says something about the complexity” of the case. Neither police nor defence lawyers have said what the exact relationship was between Zhou and the victim in the case, although Yuan has been described as Zhao’s wife’s cousin.The two reportedly also had a business relationship. Chinese-language reporters said Monday Yuan was well known in the Chinese community
as a person with business connections in mainland China. Zhao has been listed on property records as owner of the $5.8-million home at 963 King Georges Way since 2010. Late on May 2, police went to the home after receiving information that a violent confrontation had occurred at the house earlier in the day. Zhao was arrested early May 3. Zhao also faces a charge of interfering with a body for allegedly cutting up his victim after death.
Hockey dad charged for off-ice scuffle JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A 45-year-oldWest Vancouver hockey dad has been charged with assault for an off-ice scuffle that broke out between fans at a minor hockey game March 6. Christian Patrick Jarvis has been charged in the case but has not yet entered a plea. The Hollyburn Huskies AAA bantam team was facing a visiting Semiahmoo team at Hollyburn Country Club for a playoff game when an argument between Jarvis and a 67-year-old Langley man got physical. West Vancouver police said at the time of the incident that family members from opposite sides in the playoff game had been arguing when Patrick allegedly grabbed the other man’s clothing and began to shake him. The Langley man was reportedly left with some bruising and soreness. Patrick was arrested. There was just over a minute left in the game when a brawl broke out between the 13- and 14-year-olds on the ice.The incident in the upstairs viewing area happened shortly after and the referee pulled the plug on the game. In January, 57-year-old hockey dad,Terry Mukhtiar Singh Litt, was handed a conditional discharge after pleading guilty to threatening a 10-year-old member of his son’s hockey team following a game at Karen Magnussen arena.

Reach for bouquet causes crash Mother’s Day mishap cuts power to 300 homes in Blueridge JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
One NorthVancouver woman gave her mother a very expensive Mother’s Day bouquet on Sunday after she smashed into a power pole while trying to pick up the flowers that had fallen from a seat on to her car floor while driving. The 24-year-old was on her way to visit her mom and was making a left-hand turn from Violet Street to Lytton Street Sunday morning when the Mother’s Day flowers she had brought with her slid off the seat.

Luckily, the woman wasn’t injured, but the woman’s vehicle was extensively damaged.The crash also took out hydro to 312 homes in the Berkley Road area, starting at around 10:15 a.m. Several hydro crews were called to the scene to replace the power pole, which had been sheared off. Power was eventually restored by 6 p.m. The driver was handed a $367 ticket for driving without due care and attention, said Cpl. Richard DeJong of the North Vancouver RCMP. Police also retrieved the flowers from the woman’s vehicle, which she was able to take to her mom. “She had good intentions, but these Mother’s Day flowers were expensive,” said DeJong.
District property tax rates going up TEREZA VERENCA newsroom@nsnews.com
The property tax rate in the District of North Vancouver is going up by 2.5 per cent this year, council decided May 4. For single and multifamily homes assessed at $835,909, that will equate to $48 more in taxes, according to Nicole Deveaux, general manager of the district’s finance and technology department. Should a home have a higher assessment value than the average, the owner can expect to pay more, while those assessed below will pay less. The increase keeps the district competitive with surrounding municipalities, Deveaux added. “The average for the last five years has been 2.5 per cent, so we’ve pretty much stayed on course,” she told the North Shore News. “We’re doing quite well because we did all the heavy lifting in 2010.” That heavy lifting occurred when the district cut operating costs by $5.6 million five years ago. Staff did a full review of services, eliminating what no longer worked while consolidating what did. “I always say to council, had we not done that back in 2010, our tax rate increase would have been 7.1 per cent higher this year than it currently is,” Deveaux said. Of the 2.5 per cent hike, 1.5 per cent will go to operational services, like fire and police, while the rest will be used for capital projects. A main focus for council this year, Deveaux explained, will be investing in transportation, including replacement of the Keith Road Bridge. Homeowners in the District of West Vancouver, meanwhile, will see property taxes increase by 1.62 per cent, which amounts to an extra $54.29 on an average assessment of $2,013,612. “It’s a conservative increase,” said financial controller Raj Hayre. “Our original recommendation to council was for a tax increase just under three per cent.” Capital projects for See Homeowner page 5

N. Van cougar sightings prompt warning BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
was, in once instance, not easily scared off,” said conservation officer Chris Doyle. “Generally speaking, they’re elusive animals and they’re not interested in people at all so obviously it’s a concern when they do approach people because they are a predator and the concern is they would be approaching people as potential prey.” In one other case, a mountain biker used his bike to keep a cougar at bay, while on Seymour’s trails.

B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service is warning North Vancouver residents and visitors after a series of close calls with cougars on trails. The office has received three reports of the big cats at the base of Grouse Mountain, at the top of Mountain Highway and in the Seymour watershed in the last week. “It was reported that the cougar was approaching people and
to monitor and if there’s any encounters where we feel there’s a threat to public safety, we’ll likely attempt to capture the cougar involved,” Doyle said. “It may be destroyed but we’ll make that determination based on the information we have at the time.” Doyle couldn’t say if all the cougar run-ins have involved the same big cat. “It’s possible there is one but there could also be a family group of cougars dispersing,” he said. In late March, conservation officers
responded to sightings of a cougar stalking pets in Upper Lynn Valley. Doyle said he hasn’t had any reports about pets being attacked or going missing in that neighbourhood since that time. All the same, he recommends people keep a close eye on children and pets in backyards that front on the backcountry, especially around dawn and dusk. The Seymour Salmonid Society has postponed some visits from school kids until there has been at least a week without any sightings, according

Gag reflex I
n the name of expediency, City of North Vancouver council teetered dangerously close this week to doing away entirely with the weekly public input period because of commentary staff said was “off-topic, accusatory, repetitive, untrue, promotes goods and services and, at times, includes electioneering.” But if those were grounds for silencing debate, who among us wouldn’t have a sock crammed in our craw from time to time? Council members ultimately made the right decision and decided two minutes of what-for from constituents wasn’t worth being labelled enemies of free speech. But we may be headed down an even murkier path, after council moved to ban speakers who have demonstrated “behaviour that can be seen to constitute bullying and harassment” toward staff. That’s an awfully broad definition.
MAILBOX
Instead of silencing everyone in council chambers, it could be used to only silence council’s critics. Democracy is messy. Politicians should expect to receive public scorn. It comes with the job. And the bureaucracy that serves the public is not beyond reproach either. There is precedent for councils banning individuals from speaking but only in the direst of cases. If the level of discourse at the city is really so poor that we’re using the terms libel and harassment, there is another venue to deal with that — the courtroom. We urge council to step very carefully. If they truly want more efficient meetings, they could consider cutting down on some of their own speechifying and notices of motion, some of which exemplify “off topic, accusatory and repetitive.”

Let’s crunch the numbers on transit levy Dear Editor: I just finished reading Rick Harrison’s excellent letter on TransLink. I am sure many others feel exactly the same way about wanting to voteYes, but are reluctant to and will probably vote No because of TransLink’s lack of transparency. I was looking at my hydro bill recently and realized there is a transit levy on all hydro bills. A quick online search revealed some of TransLink’s sources of income including 24 per cent — $1.42 billion — coming from the 17 cents per litre fuel tax, property taxes contributing 21 per cent, transit fares 32 per cent and parking sales tax four per cent.We are all paying TransLink every day, somehow. From what I have read, the hope is aYes vote will
add 0.5 per cent to the seven per cent PST tax. But when I look at the expenditures — and won’t go through them all — two stand out: the interest expense at 13 per cent of income and the cost of transit operations at 60 per cent. Does this large discrepancy between transit income of 32 per cent and expenditures of 60 per cent have anything to do with the failure of TransLink to implement proper fare paying procedures? How long were those fare boxes
sitting there doing nothing? Have these figures ever been released and could this make a difference? Now for the interest expense of 13 per cent, that on my calculator comes to approximately $185 million a year going towards nothing except paying the banks.That’s onethird of the required $500 million. If the TransLink management are already lost, how can we expect them to be able to find cost savings when they don’t seem able to do their jobs without
complaining about lack of money? They are either incapable of finding or not looking for savings. With the help of the federal and provincial governments this could be solved. And just where are the federal and provincial governments when it comes to financial aid? The province has announced a surplus so here is the best place that money could be spent — on the future of British Columbia.What is the common denominator of
all great cities, it’s a fast, efficient and affordable transit system. Are you reading this, Christy, or are you still asleep in Victoria? Wake up and help the future of B.C. It’s not in LNG, but already here in Vancouver. Resources are fading and the competition fierce. Let’s stop inventing more taxes. Get people travelling and working in a green and efficient manner and all of British Columbia will benefit from it. Howard Whishaw West Vancouver
Mayor’s calls no reason to punish plebiscite Dear Editor: Re: Mayor’s Calls Sway Vote, April 17 Mailbox. I wonder whether the writer of the letter who is choosing to vote No on the
CONTACTUS
transit plebiscite because of telephone calls from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, would choose to vote Yes if she got similar calls from West Vancouver
Mayor Michael Smith. I agree that the number of calls is irritating, but please vote No, if you choose, for a better reason than too many phone calls.
Go to the source of the phone calls and make a complaint. Don’t punish the plebiscite itself. Nancy Nichols North Vancouver

Are quakes induced? Dear Editor: The world is full of coincidences. In the last 12 months there have been more than 500 earthquakes in Oklahoma, 200 in Arkansas and 200 in northeastern B.C. Coincidentally, these are also locations of intensive fracking. And, stranger still, many North Shore residents have just seen a sharp increase in the earthquake deductible component of their home insurance. Could it be that North Shore residents are being hit in the pocketbook even before the Clark government’s subsidies and tax breaks for LNG take effect? Leo Fernig North Vancouver

VIEWPOINT
Treatment plant doesn’t need fixing “There is no question it will eventually become common practice for cities to adopt building codes and regulations requiring new and retrofitted buildings to incorporate measures including … wastewater reclamation and reuse to satisfy non-potable water demands within the buildings.” – Troy Vassos Municipal World, June 2014 When questioned about the lack of progress on a new Lions Gate wastewater treatment plant at a recent chamber meeting, North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite replied, “I receive more phone calls from people asking when the traffic mess will be fixed than from people saying we really need to fix that wastewater treatment plant.” Amen to that! One of the reasons for that, of course, is that anyone trying to move seamlessly around the North Shore can clearly see that a tri-municipal willingness to slow down and co-

ordinate the rampant pace of development would have an immediate beneficial effect on traffic flow and congestion. The other reason may be that, like me, those who don’t call their MLAs about the plant agree with Troy Vassos, a North Vancouver senior environmental engineer and wastewater treatment guru who says, “People don’t call because the treatment plant doesn’t need fixing.” Vassos, a former member of Metro Vancouver’s Lions Gate public advisory committee, has maintained that position from the outset. In fact, his answers
were unequivocal when I asked for his reaction to a recent call from City of North Vancouver mayoralty candidate Kerry Morris for Metro to get on with the much-delayed secondary treatment project on the former B.C. Rail site at Pemberton Avenue and First Street. “Politicians keep saying we have to push to have that deadline moved back,” Vassos began. “That’s just code for saying the federal government has recognized there are more critical public issues to be concerned about than blindly applying a federal regulation to Lions Gate to grow bacteria on food waste and pretend we’re helping the environment,” he said. Vassos says there’s not a shred of evidence that the effluent being discharged from the existing primary treatment plant is having any adverse effect on the marine environment at the mouth of the Capilano River — quite the opposite. “That river is an important salmonid enhancement watercourse,
yet there’s no evidence the fish are being affected,” Vassos explained. “In fact, within a few metres of the outfall discharge, no wastewater constituents can be detected,” he said. To explain — routine effluent monitoring tests for detectable levels of four main substances: biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, ammonia and chlorine. For our safety and to protect marine and land-based environments, federal, provincial and public health authorities have established strictly monitored regulations that govern not just the effluent from sewage treatment plants but also the wastewater collected in septic tanks and on-site wastewater treatment plants installed on residential and small commercial rural lands. So, do we need a secondary treatment plant because the current facility is polluting the environment at its outfall? Absolutely not. In fact, while reviewing the discussions we had just prior to my May 29, 2013 column What’s the Point
of Secondary Treatment of May 29, 2013,Vassos said the September 2013 Metro Vancouver Water Quality Control Annual Report concluded that all our regional wastewater treatment plants — including Lions Gate — “are operating with no adverse effects on the environment.” Translating that for anyone who wants to fast-track a $700-million secondary treatment plant and using BOD readings as one example,Vassos said the current dilution rate of 2000:1 makes it “impossible to detect any wastewater contaminant in ocean waters. “This means the BOD in the water at the existing plant is immediately reduced to 0.05 parts per million. That’s 40 times lower than the detection limit and 500 times lower than the federal regulatory requirement — without spending one additional nickel!” Since it’s easy to document the lack of evidence to support the need for a new/relocated Lions Gate plant, what
else could we get for $700 million? Well, there are two things we could do: one would be easy to achieve using current knowledge; the other far less so. Taking the easy one first — Metro municipalities should do as they’ve discussed before: persuade the federal government that spending the money on infrastructure to divert that water and the pollutants it contains away from the rest of the wastewater being sent for treatment would go a long way to easing the load for all regional treatment plants. As for the tough problem, Vassos referred me to the March 2010 Environment Canada paper Proposed Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations, which stated, “Treated wastewater may contain grit, debris, biological wastes, disease-causing bacteria and hundreds of chemicals such as those in drugs and personal care products such as shampoos and cosmetics.” So how about we try to fix what needs to be fixed, instead of spending $700 million to fix something that ain’t broke? rimco@shaw.ca

Satirical cartoons at issue From page 1
“I can think of one person in particular who regularly makes appearances at the public table after having posted on social media what can only be described as vicious, bullying, intimidating attacks on city staff,” Keating said before pulling out editorial cartoons and posts from social media suggesting staff had been inept, dishonest or corrupt. “Public input, absolutely yes, but for those people who we can show through social media accounts or other things, have used language that is intimidating, defamatory, libellous, constitutes attacks on staff and falls within the bullying policy we have in the city, I think those people should be deprived of the right to speak and participate in the public input process.” The change won enough votes for the bylaw to pass but questions remain over
what legal authority the city has to make those judgment calls and how heavily it will be enforced. “While I recognize that, of late, public input has resulted in less than desirable conduct on the part of some members of the public who expressed their views in language that is perhaps too strong or showing a lack of respect, I think it would be a very serious wrong to change our process for that reason when we have alternative ways of addressing those questions of conduct and tone and respect,” said Coun. Pam Bookham. Former mayoral candidate Kerry Morris said after the meeting it is obvious he is the “person in particular.” Morris said he has used social media to spread the cartoons, which are made by a local amateur cartoonist, maybe half a dozen times — and that there’s nothing wrong with that. “I’m one
of millions of people that do that. Is that an illegal act to retweet a cartoon somebody has made in satire? I believe that was the central issue that caused a half a dozen people to be shot to death in France this past year. I don’t think I have done anything that is either illegal or would constitute a breach of workplace regulation,” he said. “I think what this is, is an attempt to stifle debate on any matter that the mayor or the slate oppose.” Morris said he’ll deal with being told he’s been banned from public input periods, if and when it happens and in the meantime, he is owed an apology by Keating. The District of North Vancouver allows council attendees three minutes to speak at the start of each meeting.The District of West Vancouver allows residents to speak to any item on the agenda as it comes up for up to three minutes.
Fin whale ‘greyhound of the sea’ From page 1 already dead when it was hit by the cruise ship.That’s one of the questions they’re hoping the necropsy carried out in North Vancouver Monday will answer. Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff arranged to have the whale’s body towed over to Seaspan where they used a lift to hoist the whale, estimated to weigh 40 tonnes, into the yard. There, an examination of the dead whale was conducted by an expert in marine mammal necropsies and scientists from DFO, the Vancouver Aquarium and the University of British Columbia’s zoology
department. Results from the tissue samples, combined with information from the cruise ship about its course, should help spell out what happened, said Paul Cottrell, Pacific marine mammal co-ordinator for the DFO. Preliminary results could be known in a couple of weeks, he said. Fin whales are the second largest mammal on the planet, after the blue whale, and are listed as threatened in British Columbia.They are baleen filter feeders, like humpback whales, and fast swimmers — capable of sustaining speeds of close to 40 kilometres an hour in the water. “They are the greyhounds of the sea,” said
Cottrell. But for reasons scientists don’t really understand, fin whales are also susceptible to being hit by ships. Dead fin whales have come into Burrard Inlet twice before on the bows of cruise ships in the past 15 years — in 1999 and 2009. After scientists finished examining the whale, it was lifted back into the water and towed by a Seaspan tug to the west coast of Vancouver Island, where it was sunk at a location picked by DFO, said Cottrell. The cost was paid by the cruise ship involved in the collision with the whale. Visit nsnews.com to read a longer version of this story.

Fairness and the Opportunity to Get Ahead When you look at how much our economy has grown over the last 30 years and how little most incomes have grown – we have a problem.
like Canada’s, we rightly expect individual rewards to differ based upon effort and application. The trick is finding the right balance.
While rising economic tides have boosted fortunes at the top, far too many boats at middle and lower income levels have been left behind.
Plan is balanced and fair That’s the beauty of Justin Trudeau’s announcement: it’s balanced and fair. It asks the wealthiest to pay a little more tax so middle income Canadians can pay less.
It’s that feeling you get when you’re working longer and harder but your family isn’t getting further ahead. That’s a sign of income inequality. Finally – some action Justin Trudeau’s major tax and child benefit announcement last week marks the first time in recent memory a Canadian political leader is taking action on income inequality - and strengthening the bonds that bind us together as a nation in the process. A recent study from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that the top one per cent of Canadian pre-tax income earners captured 37 per cent of the overall income growth between 1981 and 2012 and now account for 12.2 per cent of the country’s total annual income. Here’s why that matters. As income inequality grows, so does the “us versus them” gap. The sense of social cohesion needed for a healthy democracy is damaged. Plus there is a strong argument that economies with lower levels of income inequality are among the world’s most sustainable and have high quality of life. On the other hand, in a market economy
The Liberal plan will introduce a new tax bracket for the top one percent – on incomes over $200,000. And it will reduce income taxes by 7% for those earning in the lower-middle tax bracket. In North Vancouver, according to Statistics Canada, that’s roughly one in three of us. For lower income earners, the Liberal plan provides for significant increases in child benefits. They’ll be paid for by shifting help to those who need it most. Under Mr. Harper’s plan, a family making $200,000 currently receives the same child benefit cheque as the family earning $40,000. That‘s not fair. Nor is it an efficient use of taxpayers’ dollars. The Liberal plan announced last week is about ensuring that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. It is about a belief that our Canada is a country that values fairness and equal opportunity for all of its citizens. Jonathan Wilkinson is North Vancouver’s Liberal candidate in the upcoming Federal election. He is a Rhodes Scholar, former clean-tech CEO and kids soccer coach.

Mountie awarded for bravery RCMP officer decorated for heroic efforts that saved life of teen

A former North Vancouver resident and constable with the Langley RCMP received a Medal of Bravery in Ottawa earlier this month, after a heroic move that likely saved the life of a teenage girl four years ago. Const. Jim Moir, who was working with the Fraser Valley Traffic Services at the time, was responding to a vehicle run off the road due to winter conditions nearYale, when the incident occurred in February 2011. While speaking with the 15-year-old girl, whose family’s vehicle had skidded off the road, Moir noticed a truck had suddenly lost control and was skidding towards where he H:d_ :8S21% gXT d8X3 3^*^X/^2 - d^)-U 8] ;3-/^3b ]38T j8/% j^S% 9-/X) and the teenager stood.

Psych report ordered for teenager JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A judge has ordered a psychiatric assessment for a 16-year-old boy who has been charged with the attempted murder of his mother. A North Vancouver provincial court judge ordered the assessment after lawyers briefly discussed the case in court May 5. The teen was arrested after allegedly attacking his 59-year-old mother in her
apartment in the 2000-block of Bellevue Avenue April 28, possibly while in a delusional state.The mother was only able to escape her apartment with the help of a friend who was visiting. Outside the court, the mother told the North Shore News her son chased her with a steak knife as she ran from the apartment. It’s not the first time the teen has been violent towards her, she said. The mother said her son was in government care for

many years and was moved through many different foster homes. She said she’s afraid he hasn’t got the help he needs. “He fell through the cracks,” she said. The mother added there were warning signs something was wrong before the incident 10 days earlier.The boy’s school had reported problems and the teen was staying up all night and not sleeping, she said. A youth group pastor with a local church who
came to court with the mother this week said when he first got to know the teen “he was just a normal person.” But recently, that changed dramatically, he said. “He was not there,” said his mother. “His mind snapped.” A Crown prosecutor told the judge in court the boy has a history of mental illness and was hearing voices when he was arrested. The case is due back in court later this month.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to HOME & GARDEN
Putting mind and body to work
Todd Major
Dig Deep
GREEN GUIDE page 16
If you ask fitness gurus if gardening is exercise, they would probably say no. They would probably say formalized exercise is focused with specific outcomes to build muscle mass or cardiovascular health, while gardening is just digging and weeding. If you ask the same question to a pilates or yoga instructor they may say that gardening does not provide the same level of flexibility or spiritual concentration as the focused exercising found in those practices. I don’t disagree with any of those thoughts. However, the idea that something is work or exercise is just a matter of state of mind. For a workout, try lifting 50 kilogram trees off a truck and planting them into the earth. And consider the exercise value in moving truck loads of soil or gravel by wheelbarrow from the front yard to back yard. When it comes to spiritual concentration as found in yoga, gardening

From a strength perspective, focusing specific muscle groups to grow doesn’t just happen in the weight room.Try lifting one-metre by fivecentimetre thick bluestone off multiple pallets to build patios or walkways. Do
this all day for days on end and your body will start to grow muscles in places you never thought possible. Your stamina will also likely increase dramatically. Lifting bluestone is not work unless you view it that way.To lift large slabs of bluestone over long periods of time one must focus on the ergonomics of body posture to avoid injury while working muscle groups.There is also the
added benefit of integrating mind, body and creative consciousness while laying the stone.

He would jog to the turf pallet, grab a roll of turf, then jog down the plywood walkway across the newly lain turf where he would lay the next turf roll, and then jog back for another roll. He did this all day long for two and a half days and installed 16 pallets of turf and cleaned up, all by himself. I am not suggesting we should get exercise by running while laying turf. But the example does show how strength and stamina training are not mutually exclusive. And his task required a singular focus to complete. Focus comes in one form — you are either focused or you are not. Contrary to popular belief that building gardens is just hard work, building gardens
requires stamina, muscle power, focus and a vision to create beauty. Focus in the garden can become a time-warp kind of thing. I regularly experience periods of time building gardens where my focus is so concentrated that I lose track of time and several hours go by in a span of time that seems like minutes to me. My hyper-focused time experience occurs when doing specialized work, such as site grading, laying bluestone patios, pruning or seeding, and so forth.The focus required in those jobs takes awareness of time away from the conscious mind — hours become minutes of creative and spiritual connection. I am sure there’s a name for the experience but I don’t know it. Many people do not experience warping of time while gardening because they view gardening as work, instead of seeing
gardening as a complete mind and body experience. Would I ever go to a gym to improve strength or stamina? Probably not. Instead I would go out in the garden and use my mind and body to improve the garden. I would lift, bend, reach and work my body while using my mind to guide my physical development, producing an overall toning of my mind, body and spirituality. But that’s just me. Physical exercise in a gym is a worthwhile pursuit. But to answer the question: Is gardening exercise? Gardening, in its many forms, is the creative expression of exercising mind, body and spirit. If that’s not exercising, I don’t know what is. Todd Major is a journeyman horticulturist, garden designer and builder, teacher and organic advocate. stmajor@shaw.ca

RONA on First Street –
Open Invitation to Second-floor Outdoor Living Showroom RONA on First Street is much more than a major Canadian retailer of hardware, building materials and home renovation products. So much so, that Mark Block, Manager of the Second Floor Outdoor Living Showroom is issuing an open invitation to his patios – yes, patios. The stars of his show are Beachcomber Hot Tubs, barbecues and a large selection of outdoor products for North Shore gardens. Together, Mark and his teammates, John Desaulniers and Mark Charland have over 30 years of experience in the hot-tub industry and always put customers’ interests at the heart of their recommendations.
RONA customers can also find attractive deals for every price point on a range of other Outdoor Living products imported from all over North America and Europe. “We have a great selection of products to accessorize customers’ outdoor furniture needs,” said Mark. On display are brand names such as Telescope Casual; Corriveau, Polywood, Ratana, Casual Cushion and the Uberhaus private label, as well as Treasure Garden and Panama Jack offerings. And to complement your new Beachcomber, where would an outdoor patio be without a barbecue with all the latest bells and whistles?
The team is always on hand to answer your questions as they arise, but you’re also free to roam throughout the showroom at your own pace. As one visitor said, “The sales process and eventual delivery were awesome. We were really happy with the experience.” Beachcomber models range from the smallest two-person unit to one that can accommodate up to eight people. Exclusive to Beachcomber, is the hybrid option that achieves the highest energy efficiency of any hot tub on the market by mounting the motor on the outside of the unit. That allows all four sides of the tub to be sealed. Interior massage jets can be customized to suit a client’s preference.
Come see our selection of Beachcomber Hot tubs located on the Second level

“

In addition to being the North Shore dealer representative for the well-known Beachcomber Hot Tubs, Rona on First Street is a trusted destination for exclusive lines of outdoor patio furniture and barbecues. “Come on down to our Second Floor Outdoor Living showroom,” Mark said with a grin. “You’ll be impressed by our range of barbecues and accessories – Weber; Broil King; Napoleon, Sterling, Char-Broil® and Black Olive – our Second Floor has something for everyone,” he said.

Breathing life into something old
You may have seen in various issues of home decor magazines a popular trend of painting old furniture to give it new life. If you love the look of modern decor but you don’t want to part with some of your favourite antique pieces, then this idea may be for you. Mixing old furniture with new can have dramatic results.This eclectic look is popping up everywhere. Contrasting modern pieces with rustic, vintage finds can result in a look that adds both depth and texture within a room. When it comes to decorating and adding style to a room, there really are no rules.The trick is to get the room looking cohesive and not haphazard and crazy. Painting old furniture is definitely not a new trend, but applying bold colours to old furniture can produce an unexpected contrast to create a very modern feel. For example, painting the inside of a dining hutch will breathe new life into the piece and provide a real pop of colour to the room. Painting a few cabinets

in different colours adds an element of surprise to different rooms within the home. Try spray painting some old flea market chairs and placing them around a modern table. Or, paint a wooden kitchen table in two different shades for a traditional look with a modern twist. Paint your favorite pieces bold colours to add interest to the room or if you would rather have the piece blend into the rest of the room then try more subtle shades of colours, such as pale yellow or powder blue.

Knowing how to call 9-1-1 saves lives “It’s critical that children know that when they need help, 9-1-1 is the number to call.We know it can seem pretty scary when you’re young and feeling frightened, but we’re here to help.” — Mary, E-Comm 9-1-1 call-taker and Burnaby resident It was a beautiful summer day. Most of the folks on our block were out in their yards. Suddenly we became aware that there was unusual

activity up the street. Our neighbour Jack was lying on
the ground and his son and wife were by his side.Then an ambulance arrived. We later learned that his eight-year-old son Ritchie was with him when he injured himself. He immediately went to the phone and called 9-1-1. He was able to give the dispatcher his name, his father’s name and address and the details of the injury. The emergency services staff later commented that because of his swift actions his dad got the treatment
Quality child care is a necessity and benefit for the social, educational, and economic health of the community. Child care professionals provide early childhood care and education in a wide variety of settings: • Family child care • Group child care • Preschool • Out of school care • Childminding • Other community drop in programs May is Child Care Month as recognized by the Province of B.C. and our North Shore municipalities.

he needed as quickly as possible. His parents were astounded but Ritchie later explained that a paramedic had visited the school and talked to the kids about what to do in case of an emergency. Because of that, instead of panicking, Ritchie knew exactly what to do. You can count on the fact that all the parents on
the block spoke to their kids that evening about how and when to call 9-1-1. According to E-Comm, during an emergency, 9-1-1 is a critical lifeline that connects those in need with first responders, and children who know how and when to call 9-1-1 can save lives.This year, as part of Emergency Service Dispatchers’ and 9-1-1 Awareness Week
(April 12-18), E-Comm call-takers and dispatchers were reaching out to parents and caregivers, urging them to take time to teach their children about 9-1-1. It could be one of the most important lessons they’ll ever learn. “It’s heartbreaking when you get a 9-1-1 call from a See Keep page 28

they should try to stay calm during the 9-1-1 call.They will be asked to stay on the phone until the police or ambulance personnel arrive. If they can stay calm and talk to the dispatcher on the phone and follow instructions they will find they are doing the very best they can to help the situation.

When you teach your children how to respond in an emergency you are not only giving them a tool they can use if necessary.You are also letting them know that if something does happen, they can help.
make the call. They should call if someone is really sick or hurt, if they can’t waken their mommy or daddy, if he sees or smells smoke or fire or if he sees someone doing something bad like hurting someone or stealing. Because we so often use wireless and mobile phones it can sometimes be hard to find them. Make sure you keep the phones charged and have them in places where the children can easily reach and use them.

Children’s Programs
For some parents, especially those of intermediate aged children, the process of signing their child up for summer camps can get more difficult as the years go on. A couple major complaints are, “I don’t want to be with the little kids”and “it’s too boring”. As a school age program coordinator I hear this complaint from parents loud and clear, and I completely get where these kids are coming from. As it is around grade 4 that developmentally, children really want to be more independent, around their own peers, and in a less structured environment. The trick is creating a camp that can offer all these things, and still be a safe and nurturing space.

Bee Haven’s newest camp offering is the Bee Haven Kids Club, which is a day camp experience specifically designed for older elementary school children. This camp is for kids entering grades 5, 6 and 7, and has been created with a keen focus to keeping each day fresh, new and flexible. There is a daily activity schedule, which includes many fun, and interesting trips that are only offered to this Bee Haven camp, such as going to a man-made wakeboarding park, a ropes course, and a trip to the new Squamish gondola. The schedule is more flexible for this camp than it is for others because they will be using Bee Haven’s vans to transport everywhere. This means every day is a new adventure, with their friends and instructors.
Here at North Shore Taekwondo, your child will be empowered with life skills like confidence and focus while learning practical self defense skills. Call today for a free introductory lesson.

WV resident named to Order of Canada CHRIS SLATER reporter@nsnews.com
A West Vancouver resident was honoured with the Order of Canada at a ceremony in Ottawa May 8 for his longtime contributions to the Canadian mining industry. Named an Officer of the Order of Canada, Norman Keevil, chairman of mining company Teck Resources Ltd., has been a leader in Canada’s mining industry for more than 50 years. Known for his contributions to mining and geology research, Keevil has been an instrumental supporter of mining and geology research at UBC, avidly contributing to the Mineral Deposits
Norman Keevil Research Unit at UBC and the university’s Norman B. Keevil (NBK) Institute of Mining Engineering. Keevil has also helped to establish mining research institutions in Ontario and Chile, as well as an earth sciences scholarship at the University of Western Ontario. Born in Cambridge,
Mass. in 1938 while his Canadian-born father was conducting research at Harvard University, Keevil went on to obtain an undergraduate degree in applied geology and eventually a PhD. Joining Teck in 1962, he worked his way up the corporate ladder over the years to eventually become chairman of the multi-billion dollar company. Included among this year’s 50 recipients are ex-NHL player Sheldon Kennedy of Calgary, Alta. for his work raising awareness on the issue of child abuse, as well as Kim Baird, six-time consecutive chief of Tsawwassen First Nation, who implemented B.C.’s first urban treaty.

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for mangoes page 34
Paella is an illegal breakfast food. I know this because my mother-in-law has equipped me with a thorough understanding of what is and is not permissible when it comes to the first meal of the day. During my first stay with my in-laws in the U.K. many years ago, I sauntered into the kitchen one morning and began to extract ham, cheese, and salami from a drawer in the fridge. “Do you have any grainy mustard?” I asked, thinking nothing of the seemingly innocuous question. “For what?” my motherin-law queried, aghast. “Surely not for breakfast!” You see, according to her, breakfast is the meal through which one eases into the day. It is meant to be a gentle and inoffensive repast designed to sate the waking appetite, not assault the bleary taste buds. To be clear, my motherin-law is a worldly, travelled and decidedly open-minded individual and I get along with her swimmingly. On her position about breakfast, however, she is firm. Accordingly, over the years, my breakfast choices have become something of a running joke between us. I will periodically report back to her on my deviant behaviour, confessing to early morning meals of grilled salmon with nori, pickled

The restaurant, which is owned and operated by the folks who brought us S’Wich Café just a few doors down, is a breakfast joint, open daily from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. And while you can find a few dishes of a more traditional, conservative nature on their menu (French toast, bacon and eggs), the spirit of their fare seems to be rooted in creativity and innovation, boldly challenging conventional notions about

Here, good food is good food, the clock be damned! My paella, which was delicious and worked brilliantly as my first meal of the day, featured saffronscented rice with tangy Spanish chorizo sausage, strips of spiced free range chicken meat, cubes of tender and wonderfully fatty smoked pork belly, and green peas, all topped with a fried egg.The yolk of the egg was perfectly soft, so when I broke into it, it oozed atop the rice and created a thick, binding sauce.

Mangoes add tropical flavour to recipes of perfection in April, May and June. Finding a ripe mango is as easy as smelling and touching it. It should have a sweet, tropical aroma and yield to gentle pressure. Avoid very soft mangos or those that have black spots on the skin, as those will likely go through into the flesh. My favourite way to cut a mango is to cut off the “cheeks” close to the pit, then slice them into halfinch strips and cut away the skin with a small sharp knife.

Book looks at vegan protein The Great Vegan Protein Book, by Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes (Fair Winds Press, 176 pages) $25. TERRY PETERS tpeters@nsnews.com
There has long been a criticism of the vegan diet that to follow it you would not be getting sufficient protein. This question comes largely from a lack of information because there is a wide range of proteinrich plant-based foods available.
Authors Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes discuss the options for this type of nutrition and explain the way to combine foods to get
complete protein in your diet. Beans and legumes, grains, tofu and nutritional yeast are just some of the foods that will meet all your protein requirements. The authors go on to offer four chapters of tasty recipes, each based on different main ingredients. The recipes are easy to follow and offer special notes on substitutions, preparation tips, and extra seasoning suggestions. Vegan dishes for every meal, desserts and snacks are included, offering a well-rounded selection that covers all your needs.

restaurant, so the atmosphere is intimate. DJ and I were able to get a close look at a number of other dishes being enjoyed by fellow patrons at surrounding tables. One such dish was an unlikely combination of fluffy golden pancakes and a mountain of pulled pork.This is a thing, now, I believe, as I have seen the dish in two other restaurants since my breakfast at BLVD. Pulled pork and pancakes is this year’s fried chicken and waffles, apparently, and if the lip-smacking appreciation and throaty “mmms” of my neighbour were any indication, the pairing works. I suspect I’ll need to go back for that, if only to further torment my mother-in-law. DJ selected two poached, free-range eggs, grilled, oregano-scented tomatoes, and savoury potato bread pudding from the build-it-yourself, mixand-match menu, which permits diners to create a custom breakfast using a number of key ingredients featured on other dishes.The savoury potato bread pudding is a novel in-house specialty that also serves as the base layer for BLVD’s various Eggs Benedict options.The pudding, which arrives as a firm rectangle having been sliced from a larger bread pan, is dense and filling, tender and moist on the inside and nicely browned and crisp on the top.The bread pudding served as a great mop for the perfectly cooked poached eggs. It is worth noting that BLVD is committed to sourcing local, ethical suppliers for their ingredients. In addition to free-range eggs and chicken, I noted that the menu features sausages fromTwo Rivers Specialty Meats and steak from Cache Creek Natural Beef. Other menu items that push the creative agenda include the Beautiful Buddhist (smoked tofu with mushrooms, kale, tomatoes, garlic and onions with tahini-miso almond milk emulsion) and Macadamia Nut Banana Pancakes, featuring toasted coconut and coconut cream syrup. I am not proud to say this, but living in the artisan coffee epicenter of Canada, I have become an unbearable coffee snob. My palate is so accustomed to the delights of single origin beans that I now find mass produced java to be pedestrian and insipid. Given its clear investment in top quality ingredients and creative cooking, I feel like BLVD’s coffee is a let down. I don’t presume to speak for everyone’s taste, but for me, coffee is the one area for improvement in BLVD’s otherwise exceptional breakfast offering. Our meal was $34 before gratuity. BLVD Bistro is located at 636 Queensbury Ave. 604-973-0133 Chris Dagenais served as a manager for several restaurants downtown and on the North Shore. Contact: hungryontheshore@gmail.com.

New museum on track Fundraisers expect to meet $5-million goal by year-end BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Fundraisers working on a tight deadline to raise $5 million for a new North Vancouver Museum and Archives on the City of North Vancouver waterfront are on track to meet their goal. “All in all, the campaign is considered to be on track at this point
and we have every reason to believe we will succeed in meeting the challenge we’ve been given of raising $5 million by Dec. 31 and we’ll keep working until we do that,” said Don Evans, chair of the new museum campaign, in a report to city council Monday night. Once complete, the museum is envisioned to be an “interactive experience” along the lines
of Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry. So far, the Museum’s fundraisers are about 40 per cent of the way to their goal and a $2-million federal museum grant is “progressing very well” “Yes, we’ve got still work to do and we’re hard on track to do that work. We’re going to keep at it but we do believe we’ll meet the commitment and bring to reality the new museum at the Shipyards that will be an asset to both the Shipyards development and a social and economic contributor to the city of North
Vancouver,” Evans said. Following the update, council voted to begin drawing up papers for a minimum 10-year lease for the Pipe Shop at the Shipyards. The lease is conditional upon the museum securing the capital and operating finances it needs and council’s final approval. In the meantime, the City of North Vancouver has partnered with Lonsdale Quay Management to rent out the stately industrial building for special events like corporate parties and weddings.

Winning a provincial title, ending a dynasty, playing a World Cup soccer team on your own home turf — the North Shore Girls Soccer Club is in the middle of a pretty incredible threeweek run. The biggest buzz likely comes from the recent announcement that a team made up of many of the club’s best players will host the Cameroonian national team for a pair of exhibition matches May 17 and May 24 at Windsor secondary, with 4 p.m. kickoffs scheduled for both days. Cameroon will arrive in Vancouver this week and the two matches against the NSGSC all-star squad will be tune-up matches for the African team in advance of the FIFA Women’s World Cup set for June 6-July 5 at stadiums around Canada. “We’re excited,” said NSGSC technical director Jesse Symons. “To bring one of the Women’s World Cup teams to North Vancouver to see what will be going on at B.C. Place in June, hopefully it will create a lot of early excitement two or three weeks before the start of the World Cup. . . . I’m just hoping it will be a celebration.” Cameroon is Africa’s third-ranked team, 53rd overall in the world, and will play two of their three World Cup opening round games at Vancouver’s B.C. Place. On the other side of the ball, the North Shore Girls squad will be a made up of a mix of players who currently suit up for the club’s top women’s teams along with other young players who have spent the past season playing on Canadian and university teams. Some of the players expected to suit up include striker Sessen Stevens, a member of Canada’s U20 national team who currently plays for the University

Windsor. I hope it excites everybody. (The World Cup) is a great event that we have coming up in June, and what an opportunity to start that celebration three weeks before the first match.” A few of the local players will come into the Cameroon matches on a great high after winning the Women’s A Cup provincial championship with the
NSGSC Renegades last weekend to earn the right to represent B.C. at the national club championships in Calgary in October. The Renegades brought a dynasty to an end Saturday in Langley, knocking off Surrey United who were going for an incredible 12th straight provincial title. See North page 38

North Shore girls coming off huge win in provincial final From page 37 The Renegades battled all day to bring down the longtime champs, winning in penalty kicks following a 0-0 tie.The team was led by longtime coach Tony Seddon, with goalkeeper Ariel Anderson earning MVP honours as the final line of an impenetrable NSGSC defence. “They just defended like they weren’t going to allow a goal in the game — it seemed like Surrey wasn’t going to score if they played for 24 hours,” said Symons. “They weren’t allowing any space. Full credit to them — the whole group performed to a very good standard. Tony came in with a very good game plan and in the end they pulled it off, which is fantastic. It’s probably not
the easiest way to do it in PKs, but they were the team that probably deserved it with the performance on the day.” Symons said the win was a long time coming for the Renegades. “I’ve known those girls for a very long time, coached a few of them when they were 12 and 13 years old. They’ve always been the bridesmaids,” he said. “(But) you could see the confidence within the group that this was their year.They pushed through — it’s a credit to them. It’s sort of a monkey off their backs a bit with having lost a lot of those finals. I guess enough was enough.” The Cameroon games will cap off an amazing run for the club and for Symons, a North Vancouver native
who has only been at the job for about a month. He previously worked with the Vancouver Whitecaps. “Yeah, not bad,” Symons said with a chuckle when asked about his eventful first month of action with the North Shore Girls, adding that he hopes it all adds up to more exposure for the club and interest in soccer on the North Shore. “We’re really trying to create a culture on the North Shore for soccer,” he said. “North Shore Girls is hopefully going to be a club that is on the forefront of developing these young female soccer players for years to come in Canada. I think to be able to see it live will be huge for these kids. Hopefully they’ll be inspired to go out and kick the ball around a little bit more.”
