Warnings issued over ‘creepy clown’ pranks Social media craze prompts school official’s safety concerns
JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Teens at North Vancouver high schools are being told that “creepy clowns” are no laughing matter.
Teachers and principals spoke with secondary students Tuesday after threats of creepy clowns appearing at local high schools began to surface. North Vancouver RCMP were called out to Windsor secondary last week after word got out that someone was threatening to show up to the school dressed as an evil clown. That never happened, said Deneka Michaud, spokeswoman for the North Vancouver School District. But the talk among teens about the creepy clown threats was enough to prompt a letter home to parents from Mark Pearmain, schools superintendent. The recent “creepy clown” craze, fuelled by social media, involves people dressing up like frightening evil clowns, scaring people as a prank and posting photos and videos of that to social media. When people do show up dressed as creepy clowns, those events are sometimes announced ahead of time by social media posts. In some cases fake scenarios are posted as though they are real. The craze began in the U.S., but has recently sparked copycat behaviour in Canada, especially in the run-up to Halloween.
“Either you love them or you hate them,” Boo La La costume shop owner Laurie Sluchinski (left) says of clowns, while employee Erin Walker gets her scare on, dressed as an evil clown. One day each year (Oct. 20 this year), the entire staff at The North Van shop dress as clowns. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD “While we understand that students likely believe it is a harmless prank, it truly is terrifying for people and can spark violence,” Pearmain wrote in the letter to North Vancouver parents. “The costumes can be quite terrifying,” said Michaud. Sometimes, people on the receiving end of the scare become so angry they

Woman dies in diving incident at Whytecliff
JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
A 43-year-old Surrey woman is dead after going into medical distress while scuba diving off West Vancouver’s Whytecliff Park on Sunday. The woman was diving

during the fourth day of a four-day diving class being conducted by a Lower Mainland dive shop. She was about 40 metres below the surface on her second dive of the day just after noon, when another diver in the group noticed there was a problem, said Const. Jeff Palmer of the
West Vancouver Police Department. Palmer said the second diver helped the woman to ascend. At that point, the woman’s regulator – which supplies air – had come out of her mouth and it was clear she was in medical distress, he said. Other people in the dive
group got the woman to shore and began CPR, along with bystanders, which was taken over by fire and ambulance crews who arrived at the beach shortly after. Palmer said efforts to resuscitate the woman were not successful and she was

KEITH BALDREY: VOTE SPLIT A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN NDP WINS PAGE 8
Lower Lynn condo development debated 63 units proposed for light industrial land in DNV
MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
Adding to the district’s affordable housing stock and the loss of light industrial land and subsequent jobs were the main arguments for and against a proposed mixed-use development in the Lower Lynn area during a public hearing Tuesday.
“Replacing jobs with condos does not make a healthy community,” Neil Hay told council. Since the 1950s, Hay has been involved with industrial businesses in North Vancouver and said he’s seen many jobs lost due to changing times. “The district needs all the light industrial land and more to sustain employment for our increasing population,” said Hay. “If the mayor and council want the District of North Vancouver to become another West Vancouver – you’re on the right track.” The proposal before council is a six-storey, 63-unit development at the corner of Mountain Highway and Charlotte Road, with six commercial units totalling approximately 5,600 square feet.
An artist’s rendering of 467 Mountain Hwy. depicts six storeys with 63 residential units and six commercial units. Barry Savage of Savage Development told council the project could be the first step in revitalizing that side of Mountain Highway and help create an urban high street. The site is in the heart of Lower Lynn town centre, one of four areas the district has marked for growth over the next two decades. Currently occupying the site is Northwest Mettech Corp., a tech company that strengthens industrial and aerospace components
with thermal spray technology. If the area is rezoned, Mettech, which employs seven skilled workers, would likely leave the North Shore, according to company president Neil Young, who spoke about the issue in August. Rezoning the area is an “easy solution” when it comes to accommodating residential development, Young said, “but it’s kind of short-sighted because you’ve got all these people moving to the North Shore
and where are they all going to work?” North Shore Stone Works owner Artur Banasinski agrees. “I’ve got people working (for) $30 an hour, so my question is: Are they going to go to the coffee shop and work? They have mortgages and families,” said Banasinski, referring to suggestions of having a café occupy the proposed development. Council watcher Corrie Kost characterized the
IMAGE SUPPLIED
project as the “thin edge of the wedge” to wiping out light industrial in the area. Project proponent Jack Bernard told council he grew up on the North Shore and is now raising a family here; however, the increasing housing costs proved to be challenging. Bernard is supporting the project because he says it will provide family-style housing, including three-bedroom units. The mix of one- two- and three-bedroom units meets
the district’s aim of increasing housing diversity. Coun. Lisa Muri pressed the developer on the projected cost of the units. Savage said they anticipate 50 per of the units will meet the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s affordable housing criteria. Those with a yearly household income of $70,000 or less would be able to qualify for a mortgage, said Savage. Owners in this development would be allowed to rent the units without restriction. The project’s approval would also mean new sidewalks and a bike lane along Mountain Highway. Other transportation considerations include: two bike stalls per residential unit, 52 transit passes for residents and one car-share stall. There are 70 parking stalls proposed for residential use, 12 for commercial and six for visitors. A report commissioned by the developer projected the building would create another 33 trips during the morning rush hour and an extra 54 trips in the evening commute. Muri asked staff to report back on the projected net loss of light industrial in the Lower Lynn area. The proposal will be back before council on Oct. 24 for consideration of second and third reading. – with files from Jeremy Shepherd
WEST VANCOUVER: BYELECTION
Nominations close Friday for run at empty council seat
JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com
Anyone interested in claiming a chair at West Vancouver’s council table has until Friday to fill out the paperwork.
With the byelection set for Nov. 19, all nomination forms must be mailed, emailed, or handed over by 4 p.m. at the legislative services department at municipal hall. The successful candidate should have a working knowledge of the community and an “overall philosophy of helping everyone,” said Coun. Bill Soprovich, who’s currently
serving his seventh term on council. Hot button issues are expected to range from the size of West Vancouver’s houses to the length of its traffic jams. “To me it’s still a bedroom community – a flow-through bedroom community,” Soprovich said, discussing traffic snarls around Taylor Way and Marine Drive. The challenge of securing non-market rental housing, particularly for seniors, young families and first responders may also be up for debate in the next two years. “We know for sure if there’s
The late Coun. Michael Lewis was lauded by colleagues as a reasoned member of the council who had a good sense of humour. a major disaster we would have only a handful of (first
responders) come out in the first hour because a lot of them don’t live on the North Shore.” With voter turnout typically sluggish in byelections, there is a potential for a successful candidate to ride to power based on the favour of a single community group. “That’s not the way to go,” Soprovich said. “They have to represent the entire community.” Slightly more than 28 per cent of West Vancouver’s registered voters cast ballots in the 2014 municipal election. Coun. Christine Cassidy narrowly won her seat, as
her 3,233 votes were enough to squeak past both Joanna Baxter and Jim Finkbeiner by fewer than 55 ballots. Former councillor Michael Evison and architect Peter Lambur also had strong showings in 2014, finishing with 3,079 and 2,893 votes, respectively. The byelection was triggered by the recent death of Coun. Michael Lewis. Soprovich called Lewis a “good friend,” and a “pretty good friend on council.” Lewis supported the Grosvenor development on the 1300 block of Marine Drive, arguing that while it
wasn’t a masterpiece or the single answer to Ambleside’s revitalization, it was a step in the right direction. “I’m not sure it’s the Eifel Tower … but it’s not the London Wheel, either,” he said. When discussing a ban on LNG tankers in Howe Sound, Lewis said he envisioned “the LNG tanker coming out from Woodfibre crashing into an oil tanker coming out of Burnaby; but it was all getting mopped up by the stuff coming off the garbage barge.” Byelection candidates must be at least 18 and have resided in B.C. for at least six months.

Principal Adam Baumann unveiled details of the school’s extensive $5-million facelift to the News last week, explaining how the project’s architect worked within the existing footprint and exercised some creativity. Construction began in summer 2015 with the renovation of a decommissioned auto body shop that has since been transformed into a new electronics lab. An outdoor walkway connects the electronics lab with the applied physics program. A 21st-century learning perspective has been applied to the architecture, with a focus on flexible learning spaces. Windsor’s upgrades are being done in tandem with the provincial curriculum overhaul and the concept of students working with bigger ideas and less prescribed learning. Windsor’s new classroom spaces will be wider, brighter with natural light and reconfigurable to the teacher’s lesson plan, giving students a chance to spread out and digest the material in a more comfortable environment. For example, the new science lab on the school’s top floor will be outfitted with 21st-century furnishings that are fashionable and functional. It’s out with the 30-year-old asbestos topped desks and in
time now in the schools, but when a class all logs on the same time, 30 students can overwhelm a digital access point,” Baumann explained, adding the new “robust” system can handle a higher amount of Internet traffic. Windsor now has a new server room, along with new fibre optic cables spread throughout the school to help keep a consistent Internet connection. While Windsor’s outside perimeter is all concrete, the interior of the school has new classrooms with glass walls, allowing for “more transparency about the work being done by staff and students,” said Baumann. Each of Windsor’s three main hallways will have a “cul de sac,” or common area, for students to go to at lunch or during study breaks to work on assignments. “We want these spaces to be comfortable and inviting but it’s also, we’re a place of business. It’s not a lounge,” said Baumann. The Windsor parent advisory council is raising $25,000 to furnish the commons areas and is hosting a dinner-dance gala on Oct. 15. Three other North Vancouver schools have been identified as seismic priority projects within the next decade. Argyle has approval to start construction on new school in 2017. Handsworth’s project, which hasn’t been given consent yet, will follow some time in the next five years. Mountainside, meanwhile, should undergo seismic renovations in six to 10 years.

Windsor secondary students will step into a seismically safe, state-ofthe-art school early in the new year.
with confortable and brightly coloured tables and chairs on wheels, explained Baumann. In one classroom, these “cool,” shiny red stools have backrests and a height adjustment feature. Paramount for the upgrade project is student safety and ensuring the 55-year-old building is structurally sound. In the heart of the school, steel beams have been added in behind a bank of students’ lockers. These reinforcement measures tie into steel beams in the roof and floor of the school creating “a cocoon” or pathway to safety in the event of an earthquake. It’s been business as usual as the school’s 935 students study in an active construction site. Swing spaces were created to house the students during the renovations, instead of bringing in portables to the school site. Some of the construction work has been timed for after-school hours. “It’s a challenging project,” said Baumann of learning coexisting with construction. “Even though it’s not really complete, when the kids came back to school they started to see … that it’s starting to pay off.” Another big component of the project is bringing Windsor online with the North Vancouver School District’s new wireless infrastructure. Part of 21st-century learning, said Baumann, is that technology isn’t a class you go to, but rather is integrated into the learning experience. “We’ve had Wi-Fi for some

Police warn pranksters of potential violence

retaliate, she added. “We want to get ahead of it and prevent it from happening.” Corp. Richard DeJong with the North Vancouver RCMP said the incident at Windsor last week appeared to involve one teen making a veiled threat against another using a picture of a creepy clown to communicate that on social media. DeJong said police received one report of an alleged creepy clown sighting in North Vancouver over the weekend – from a group of three teenaged boys who reported being stared at by a man in a creepy clown costume while they waited
for a bus in Lynn Valley. The teens were at the corner of Langworthy and Hoskins roads around 1 a.m. on Monday when they saw a man dressed as a clown staring at them, he said. The teens ran away and told their parents about the incident, who reported it to police. DeJong said police officers patrolled the area but didn’t find anyone fitting the description – a man in a white clown suit and clown mask with red hair and clown shoes. “It’s an unusual report,” said DeJong. DeJong said while it’s not illegal to stand around in a clown costume in public, anyone who appears to be
trying to frighten people on purpose will be advised that their behaviour is inappropriate. Anyone who accompanies that with threats, through words or gestures, can be arrested and face criminal charges. So far, no creepy clown reports have been made to police or schools in West Vancouver. Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesman for the West Vancouver Police Department, said he strongly suggests teens don’t take part in similar pranks. “There’s so many ways this can go wrong,” he said. Not everybody hates creepy clowns.
“I have always loved clowns. I love happy clowns. I love evil clowns. It’s something I recommend as a costume to many of my customers,” said Laurie Sluchinski, owner of Boo La La costume shop in North Vancouver. “Either you love them or you hate them. There aren’t a lot of neutral feelings about clowns,” she said. Sluchinski admits the clown lovers are likely in the minority. “Most people don’t like clowns,” she said. Sluchinski said she hasn’t been following the creepy clown phenomenon closely but likes the idea of evil clowns as characters for Halloween.
One day each year, the entire staff of Boo La La dress up as clowns, she added. This year, they’ll be donning the big noses and neon hair on Oct. 22.
Sluchinski said the event is fun, but not particularly good for business. “There are a number of clients who will leave because they can’t handle it.”

pronounced dead at the scene. The provincial Coroners Service is investigating a cause of death and has taken custody of the woman’s diving equipment. Jeff Palmer said so far there’s no indication of whether the woman’s medical emergency was related
to the scuba diving session or not. “That’s an answer the coroner would look for,” he added. Whytecliff Park is a popular destination for scuba divers around the Lower Mainland. “There’s a lot of diving that goes on there,” said Palmer. “People who are diving there are aware there are inherent risks in their sport.”
Emergency crews have been called to Whytecliff Park and nearby waters for diving accidents a number of times in recent years. In June 2013, a 17-year-old Richmond girl was saved after being found unconscious and unresponsive while scuba diving as part of an organized scuba lesson. A 46-year-old Port Moody woman was also rushed to
hospital after being hauled out of the water unconscious in August 2010. In January 2012 an experienced diver in his 60s was presumed drowned after he became separated from his diving partner and failed to surface. In November 2008, a 61-yearold diving instructor also died at Whytecliff Park after being found unconscious by his students.

W
e regret to inform you that Stephen Sondheim’s instructions were wrong: do not send in the clowns. At least not those creepy ones, because when they start tearing around, some of us can’t move. A growing portion of Canadians seem afflicted with coulrophobia, that morbid fear of the greasepaint-sporting merrymakers who are usually confined to circuses, amusement parks, and the nightmares of this newspaper’s editorial staff. North Vancouver’s school superintendent recently got involved in the clowntroversy, reminding parents that clown pranks can “spark violence.” The RCMP – who we suspect had better things to do – also had to investigate a report of a leering jester staring at bus riders shortly after midnight. For anyone with an affinity for giant
orange wigs and oversized shoes, we would ask you to please be mindful of Stephen King’s maxim: “Nobody likes a clown at midnight.” We’re not quite sure if these clowns are uncovering something ridiculous or creating it. This newspaper can’t quite endorse dressing up like a terrifying clown but we’re not sure we can condemn the practice, either. We believe people should be able to dress as they please, even if they choose to dress – quite literally – like a fool. If you see a particularly terrifying clown, whether it’s at a bus stop or a presidential debate, you’re most likely witnessing an attention-seeking missile – annoying, but ultimately harmless. And much like in the case of King’s most famous creepy clown, your best defence may be to turn away. This is that rare instance where ignorance is bliss.
Vote split a significant factor in NDP wins
F
or all the noise and drama that regularly engulfs our provincial political scene, it’s worth remembering that when British Columbians actually go to the polls we display a remarkable consistency when it comes to the actual outcome of elections. And that consistency is good news for the B.C. Liberals and bad news for the NDP and the Greens. Of course, with six months to go before the next provincial election campaign formally begins a lot of strange things can happen that may cause the electorate to dramatically shift, but it rarely happens. That consistency has meant relatively few ridings trade hands during elections, moving from one party to another. For example, in the 2013 election just 10 ridings out of 85 switched political

View from The Ledge Keith Baldrey allegiances. The B.C. Liberals took five seats that were held by the NDP, while the New Democrats took four seats that had elected B.C. Liberal MLAs (the Green Party took a riding from the B.C. Liberals) in 2009. That was the election that was supposed to go the NDP’s way, according to the polls at the time. But the electorate – just as it has done time and time again – for the most part
voted the way they had in the 2009 election, which again saw relatively few ridings trading hands from the previous election (a feature, as well, of the consecutive elections in 1979, 1983 and 1986). In fact, there have only been four B.C. elections in the past 40 years that have departed from the norm: the NDP’s victories in 1991 and 1996, the B.C. Liberal runaway romp in the 2001 vote, and the NDP’s comeback (while still forming the Opposition) in 2005. The NDP’s wins were made possible by a significant split among voters who usually could be counted on to vote for the so-called free enterprise coalition party (first the Social Credit party, and then the B.C. Liberal Party). In 1991, the NDP actually received a lower percentage of the vote than it did when it lost in 1986, yet won because
the dying Social Credit party and the resurgent B.C. Liberals split the free enterprise vote, a much greater pool of voters. Fast forward to 1996, when the NDP won chiefly because the B.C. Reform party took almost 10 per cent of the vote, allowing the New Democrats to win more seats despite having fewer votes than the B.C. Liberals. With the B.C. Conservative Party showing few signs of life, the prospect of a split on the centre-right seems unlikely. So keeping in mind our historical voting consistency, and the absence of that vote split, and you can see the big challenge the NDP faces in order to score a victory next spring. About 50-55 seats can be considered “safe” for either of the two parties (about 30 for the B.C. Liberals and about 20 for the NDP), which leaves the election coming down to
about 25-30 ridings. The NDP needs to pick up about 10 seats currently held by the B.C. Liberals without losing a single one of the ones they currently hold, which would constitute a historical first (with no vote split). In 2013, the B.C. Liberals won just 13 ridings where the margin of victory was less than 10 per cent (anything larger makes it very hard for another party to win it). To achieve victory, the NDP will have to win at least 10 of them. That means winning seats in Surrey, Delta, Port Moody, South Vancouver, Burnaby and at least one riding in the Interior. But at the same time, the NDP will also have to hold onto about eight seats it won by the slimmest of margins in 2013 (such as ridings in Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Vancouver Island). In other words, the New

Democrats have precious little margin of error. Pretty much everything must break their way. As a result, the B.C. Liberals’ biggest enemy may not be the NDP, but complacency within their ranks. If their voter base stays home because they think the outcome is a foregone conclusion, disaster could befall them. As I mentioned earlier, anything can happen in the next six months. But history shows whatever crazy stuff may happen, it usually doesn’t change this province’s voting patterns. However, there’s always a first time for everything. And that’s exactly what New Democrats have to be telling themselves over the next six months.

Leave housing controls to senior levels of gov’t Dear Editor: Re: West Van Floats Nonresident Tax Plan, Oct. 7 front-page story. District of West Vancouver council is really on to something. Their target is people who use real estate as an investment. So, that covers about 80 to 90 per cent of homeowners as a guess. And now we have reverse logic since homeowners would have to tick a box stating the home is their principal residence. That’s what we do now when we apply for the homeowner’s grants in their various forms on lower value homes. That
NEWS | A9

grant already gives preferential treatment to those who live in their principal residence. And, for homes of greater value the province has dealt with that. So why another tax beyond a money grab? Then there is this brilliant insight – “It is not unheard of for people to own several multimillion-dollar homes, sometimes not living in any of them.” Given that those homes become investment properties the senior governments will assess capital gains taxes on them when they are sold. The feds dealt with the tracking of those gains this week, or
wasn’t West Van council paying attention? Municipalities need to learn to deal with municipal problems and stop puttering around in federal and provincial jurisdictions. Both senior levels of government have done enough interfering in the housing market (some good, some bad) to last us through what we all hope is a soft landing for an inflated market. Maybe start looking at some of the bureaucratic regulations that have helped run the cost of homes up. Bill Richardson West Vancouver

Foreign buyers’ tax not helping affordability Dear Editor: Re: Foreign-buyer Real Estate Deals Plunge, Sept. 23 front-page story. Have house prices dropped appreciably since the foreign buyers’ tax went in? If not, then the demand from speculators is largely still there; they are just using loopholes/strategies to avoid being classified as foreign buyers and paying the tax. So far, I have seen lots of announcements about how this government is going to increase housing
affordability, but no results yet. They had the opportunity to deal with this years ago but denied it was an issue because of the unsustainable money it was raking in to their coffers. Now, it’s an election issue and we see these Band-Aid “solutions” suddenly appear. ... The problem is, to increase housing affordability, prices must drop. This reduces existing homeowners’ equity and could even send some underwater. The provincial government has trapped
itself into a box of its own making. Mexico has an interesting approach: with a few exceptions, foreigners aren’t technically allowed to own property near the coasts or borders without going through a lot of legal hassle; they can lease, but not own. This is a great way to filter out the speculators just looking to park some money, from those who genuinely want to own property there. Mark Cunnington North Vancouver

that new system in time for Canada’s 150th birthday. It’s unfair to ask the people to decide on an electoral system before trying it out. After all, we would never expect them to decide on buying a car without taking it for a test drive. So let’s run the new system
for two elections and then on the third election give voters the choice of ratifying the decision on the general ballot. We would then be voting on actual experience with proportional representation. David and Nancy Hunter North Vancouver

Education is mark of a great nation Dear Editor: Re: Base Appeal, Sept. 28 Viewpoint. The key reason many people in the United States will vote for Donald Trump is America’s poor quality of public education. As Albert Einstein said: “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” The support for Trump in the presidential election campaign clearly shows a fundamental lack of critical thinking on the part of
many American citizens. It also demonstrates that the single most important step Americans need to take for the betterment of their society is to strive for quality public education. The basic lesson to be learned from this presidential election is that a nation can only be truly free to the extent that it champions education – for it is the truth that makes us free and the path to the truth is education.

Doctor disingenuous
Dear Editor: Re: Health Care Court Case Could Impact Wait-Lists, Keith Baldrey’s Sept. 7 column. Does anyone seriously think that Dr. Brian Day is suing the B.C. government for altruistic reasons? His suit has nothing to do with shortening the “wait-list” but everything to do with his getting richer. Doctors of orthopedic surgery may be tempted to move to
Day’s clinic for higher salaries than the government is paying, in which case, public health care wait-lists will get even longer. The wealthy are quite able to choose private clinics without Day’s government attack. And the government could easily discount this attack by restoring health care money levels to shorten wait-lists.

OPEN HOUSE ON MARINE DRIVE DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT With big developments looming and three governments involved, West Vancouver is holding an information session Wednesday on the future of the land surrounding Park Royal and along Marine Drive. The area, bisected by the Capilano River and bordering both the District of North Vancouver as well as Squamish Nation land, could be in for big changes with three development applications in the pipeline. Park Royal Shopping Centre has applied to build 27- and 12-storey residential buildings at 752 Marine Dr., the former White Spot restaurant site. The development, which would comprise 254 units and 25,439 square feet of commercial space, would require an amendment to West Vancouver’s Official Community Plan. West Vancouver has also received applications for a development project at 303 Marine Dr. near Klahanie Park and another across the river at 657 and 675 Marine Dr. and 660 Clyde Ave. Both applications are undergoing revisions. The District of North Vancouver approved two projects near Klahanie Park in 2014 as part of its Lions Gate Town Centre plan. Council voted in favour of 19- and 23-storey buildings at 2010 Marine Dr. as well as 18and 12- storey towers at 2035 Fullerton Ave. The open house is set for the gym at St. Anthony elementary at Christ the Redeemer Church on 595 Keith Rd. The meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.
and wrap up at 8 p.m. – Jeremy Shepherd OVERPASS RETROFIT COMPLETE Drivers worried about gridlock and earthquakes on West Vancouver’s 15th Street overpass just got their concerns cut by 50 per cent. Work recently wrapped up on a $1.15-million upgrade of the highway exit, designed to make the 15th Street overpass sturdier in the event tectonic plates start shifting. The flyover is now “up to our strict safety standards if an earthquake were to occur,”
stated Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone in a press release. “This makes the drive safer for all motorists.” Besides the seismic upgrade, the deck was resurfaced to make the drive “smoother and safer,” stated West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan. Work ramped up on the overpass in April and finished at the end of September. – Jeremy Shepherd DNV MULLS TAX BREAKS FOR NON-PROFITS An alcohol treatment centre, an alternative school, and a
shelter for seniors at risk of homelessness may all get a big a tax break. District of North Vancouver voted unanimously Oct. 3 to consider three-year tax exemptions on three properties, which will save the societies a total of $45,375 over the next three years. The three societies were recognized for their contribution to the “wellbeing of the citizens of the municipality,” according to a staff report. The tax break is being weighed for Turning Point Recovery Society – located on district-owned property on Burr Place – as it prepares

to open a nine-bed recovery centre for men struggling with addiction. Turning Point opened a women-only recovery centre on Lloyd Avenue in 2014. Windsor House is an alternative school being run out of the former Capilano United Church on 2260 Philip Ave. while the school scours East Vancouver for a new, permanent location. Windsor would ordinarily be in line for a statutory tax exemption, but because the Gulf Islands school is operating outside of the Gulf Islands School District, the GISD applied to the district for the tax break. The school
generally eschews letter grades and encourages children from five to 18 to create their own curriculum. Hollyburn Family Services Society, located at 1543 Hunter St., is also in line for a tax exemption for their work housing seniors older than 55 facing homelessness. The assessed value of the three properties totals approximately $4.35 million. In 2015, council approved tax exemptions for 35 agencies. Council is scheduled to vote on the tax exemption bylaws on Oct. 24. Mayor Richard Walton did not attend the meeting. – Jeremy Shepherd

Special needs martial arts class to kick off Program suitable for wide variety of special needs
MARIA SPITALE-LEISK mspitale-leisk@nsnews.com
The most important thing is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
Elite Olympic Martial Arts students are taught to honour this Olympic Games’ creed. The North Vancouver-based martial arts studio is now introducing a class for children with special needs. Elite owner John Yoo said he saw a demonstration of special needs martial arts at an event a couple years ago, and he was amazed. “I could see how proud the students were of being on stage and performing and how proud their families were,” said Yoo. Inspired by this experience, Yoo enrolled one of his instructors, Jung Yun Kim, in a program that offers certification to teach special needs martial arts. The program was pioneered by internationally acclaimed martial artist Mike Sirota, a former teammate of Yoo’s and director for the
International Disabled SelfDefense Association. Now that Kim’s certified, Elite is ready to have students enroll in the program, which accepts children with a wide variety of special needs including physical disabilities and those that are hearing and sight impaired. Many children with autism have studied martial arts with great results, said Yoo. A child with autism currently enrolled in a judo class at the studio has benefitted “immensely” from the class, his father has told Yoo. As for exactly how it helps, Yoo points to a December 2000 New York Times article that stated martial arts can “help ease the symptoms of (ADHD): impulsiveness, inability to concentrate and, in some cases, hyperactivity.” The article quotes an associate professor of clinical psychology at Harvard Medical School who said martial arts is becoming very popular as a means of treatment for children with special needs. Children on the autism spectrum showed remarkable improvement during a
Elite Olympic Martial Arts instructor Jung Yun Kim will be teaching students with special needs the fundamentals of the sport, in a new program launching at the North Vancouver academy this winter. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH 2010 research project conducted by the University of Wisconsin that found in the process of learning martial arts the children became more socially assertive and co-operative. The study

also found that the children demonstrated better balance and coordination, eye contact improved and better plays skills developed. Kim is a fourth degree black belt in taekwondo and
has trained in Korea her whole life. Her parents are both champion martial artists, her mom in taekwondo and her dad in judo. The important technique Kim will impart on her future
students is patience. “It comes little by little,” she said of developing martial arts skills. Elite is hoping to have the program up and running in December.

Novo Solar can show you how to have BC Hydro pay you for your excess power “Most people hesitate to spend money on solar energy but they think nothing of spending $30,000 to $200,000 on a car,” he said. “A car depreciates immediately, they require regular maintenance, they have ongoing fuel costs.”
“
By comparison, he says, solar energy systems depreciate at a far lower rate, they generate electricity and income, there is no maintenance and they add value to your property, and have a 30to 50-year life span.
“Novo can supplement or completely eliminate your power bill,” he said. “So much excess power is generated through the summer and it can be carried through the winter.”
Well, a renewable solar energy system has never made more sense.
per watt and now it is about $2.75 per watt,” explained Mark Tizya of Novo Solar Solutions Inc. “The cost of electricity is rising every year. BC Hydro increases their rates in April every year and that will continue according to their own website.”
“The cost of solar is steadily coming down. Last year a system would cost about $3.25
For those hesitating to switch to solar, Tizya likes to bring up a new car.
Then his experienced team will design a renewable solar energy system and install solar panels that let you harness the sun’s power and efficiently power your home or business.
The cost of solar is steadily coming down.
He noted Novo Solar will apply to BC Hydro’s net metering program on your behalf and once your project is approved, BC Hydro will pay you $0.10 cents a kWh for the excess power that you generate.
Ever considered installing solar panels to harness the power of the sun to heat your home or business more efficiently?
For prospective solar clients, Tizya starts with a Google Earth view of the property.
And there’s an added bonus: it’s clean energy. “From an environmental point of view it’s very good.” Tizya says even if your home is located in damp Deep Cove, you can produce plenty of solar power. The most important factor is where your home is situated.
Tizya said one of his company’s most popular systems, the Solar Panel Grid-Tie System, can, depending on your home’s location, generate 2500 to 13,200 kWh of electricity per year, which amounts to approximately 100% of what a typical home uses annually.
”
Novo now offers financing packages and in most cases they can eliminate your power bill and finance it with monthly payments that are less than your electrical bill. This means that your monthly budget doesn’t change. Not all of Novo’s solutions involve harnessing the energy of the sun. They also offer shade solutions so homeowners can enjoy summer at a more comfortable temperate — and reduce electricity costs as well, sometimes reducing cooling costs by 50%.

Diamonds: the forever stone The name ‘Diamond’ is derived from the ancient Greek world adámas, for ‘proper’, ‘unbreakable’, ‘unalterable’, ‘invincible’ or ‘untamed’, reflecting its unyielding quality and endurance.
and its quality depends on four parameters: carat weight, colour, clarity and cut. Depending on these factors, diamonds can range from a few thousands to a million dollars!
Golden Star offers a 0% interest financings program so you can choose your favourite ring, even with no downpayment, and pay it off in 12 months.
The diamond is perhaps the most explored gemstone in the world, with gemologists, miners, consumers and wearers studying its qualities to duplicate and enhance this natural wonder.
Choosing the right diamond engagement ring may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Golden Star Jewellery, a family-run store located at Capilano Mall, can help. Before you get down on one knee, here are a few things to consider:
Educate yourself on diamonds Before buying an engagement ring it’s important to first gain basic knowledge about diamonds. To start with, get familiar with the four Cs – colour, clarity, cut and carat weight. Each one influences the value of the diamond and adds to the overall appearance of the stone.
The diamond has long been Set a budget associated with love, bonding, Determine a specific price range to relationships, commitments and fit your budget. An engagement ring loyalty.

3. Colour - Colour evaluation of most gem-quality diamonds is based on the absence of colour. A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond has no hue, like a drop of pure water, and consequently, a higher value. GIA’s D-to-Z diamond colour-grading system measures the degree of colourlessness. 4. Cut: Ratios and proportions of various diamond dimensions in relation to each other are what impact the brilliance and scintillation of the stone most significantly. They determine how well and how much of the light is reflected inside the crystal and back to the surface through the diamond’s table. If the diamond is not certified by one of the gemological labs, then buying such a diamond is not advisable.

The number, size, colour, relative location, orientation, and visibility of inclusions can all affect the relative clarity of a diamond.

Training kids to talk an early, ongoing task
Parenting Today Kathy Lynn Once kids start to talk the benefits are enormous.
It’s so much easier to know what our kids are thinking and what they are needing when they can tell us. The more we talk to and with our kids, the more they will develop language skills. It starts from day one. Don’t change their diapers in silence. Chat. Tell your baby what you’re doing, talk about the plans for the day, but use proper words and voice. My kids used to note that there were certain adults that spoke to them in a funny voice. They were referring to those who used a highpitched, sing-song style for talking to kids. My kids just thought it was weird. When we use baby talk we’re teaching our kids to use
baby talk. They learn proper language by listening to all the chatter around them and mimicking what they hear. Use good grammar and speak in complete thoughts. The more they are hearing appropriate language the more they are learning how to speak properly. Once your kids become toddlers you will find an increase in conversation. When you are talking to your little one maintain eye contact. This will help him or her to focus on the conversation and know that they have your undivided attention. Don’t be afraid to use big words, but be ready to define any word they don’t understand. It you talk to your kids the way you speak to adults you’ll find you generally use mainstream language. Often they will just accept the word you used and figure out its meaning from the context. Keep your messages short. Toddlers are not known for their attention span. Deliver one message and then stop. Look at them to see if they’re paying attention. When kids are first speaking they will often use single words. So expand on the word. For example, if your daughter points and says,
“truck,” you can respond, “Yes, that’s a truck. Would you like to play with it? You can run it up and down the hall.” You’re helping her to build her vocabulary and present total ideas. It also lets her know that you understand what she’s saying. And if you get it wrong, she can correct you by saying “no” and you can work with her to get it right. So she’s learning how conversation works and how to share ideas. When you ask a question try to phrase it so that it requires more than a yes or no response. So instead of, “Do you want me to read this book?” Say, “Do you want
me to read this book or that one?” Which leads to a mention of reading. The more we read to our children the more they learn about language. You can start reading to your kids when they are infants. Talking to them when they are young may seem weird, but if you develop the habit of reading to them right from the start they will see this as a typical and fun activity. When you’re choosing books for toddlers select some that fit with their interests. If they love trucks, then get books about trucks. They will pay more attention to the reading but you are also supporting their interests.
Involve the kids when you read them stories or nursery rhymes. If there is a repeating term pause right before the
term and let your child fill in the blank. They will love it and you will be incredibly

impressed when they yell out the correct word. When you’re out and about in the community, label things that you see and talk about them. Listen when they see something and
comment and continue the conversation. Helping kids learn language is basically a process of inviting them to participate in daily conversation. They love to be part of whatever is happening and certainly language is a big part of that.

My love of art began in China when I was very young living in the beautiful city of Beijing, a cultural paradise. With all the monuments, palaces, parks and the Forbidden City, beautiful art works were everywhere. Elementary school in China provided me with my first introduction into the world of art. Art classes were very disciplined, so when I joined my mom and dad in Vancouver at the age of 10 years it was an enormous adjustment. Of course I am now a Canadian, but you never lose your originating culture and so I have found the discipline of Asia and the creativity of Canada has given me a very broad approach to my art. I think when it comes to producing art you must have a pure heart and be excited about life every day-because life teaches you something every day that you can use in your creations. Most of what I am showing at my first ever Art Show, which is also a benefit for St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, was created in Canada. I have been very fortunate to have had wonderful art teachers who have pushed me to a higher creative and skill level than I thought possible and for that I am grateful.
The areas of art I will be showing are: - abstract expressionism - art deco/art nouveau - conceptual - fantasy - architectural deconstruction
- surrealism - realism - mixed media - industrial design - minimalism etc.
Show participation:
- Royal Canadian Legion poster exhibits (2yrs) - Lighthouse Festival (2yrs) - BCTF Building Display (2yrs) - University of Victoria school show (2yrs) - CSEA/BCATA Conference show (2yrs) - 2017 Grad Show, Ferry Building Gallery
As well I have been commissioned to produce the art work a children’s book called, ‘The Secret of the Beaver Lodge’, which is posing a great challenge as I have never used North American animals as my subject matter. However it is very exciting as I am producing new characters such as Mother Nature, Titans of the Universe, and a God of the North as well as landscape scenery and many animals. A story board and preliminary sketches will be available for viewing.
Thank you, Si Chen

REVIEW: THE WORKSHOP VEGETARIAN CAFÉ
Noodles nicely done at new eatery
I was in the grocery store and I was in a rush.
I fished around in my pocket for a bank note of some denomination and extracted it along with my mobile phone. I fumbled for half a second before the phone careened towards the floor. Sadly, it landed over-easy instead of sunny-side-up and the phone’s screen turned into a spider’s web of jagged glass. It still worked, but if I texted too long my thumb began to leave a sticky red trail between keys, greatly slowing down my message transmission time. At the
The Dish Chris Dagenais Official Genius Store, whence the phone came, a clerk told
me it would be cheaper to buy a new phone than to replace the glass and that the switchover could be completed in seconds . . . for $400. Aghast, I instead spoke to a colleague of mine, who seems to make it his life’s work to game the system, and he put me onto a small shop downtown where a clever entrepreneurial type ran a cash-only screen replacement operation. I went to check it out and marvelled at how quickly my phone was restored to tip-top working order, for a trifling $70. More
remarkable than this economical repair, however, was the guy’s shop, which was lined wall-to-wall with crates of instant ramen noodle bowls. I asked him if he ran a sideline in soup. He looked at me like I was crazy and then explained that he ate two to three bowls of the stuff every day. If you’ve ever looked at the nutritional information on the side of one of these noodle bowls you’ll know this guy was severely impeding his retirement plans by consuming 500 per cent of his sodium intake on a daily basis.
The origins of ramen are heavily disputed, but unfortunately much of the world knows it today by the 99-cent Styrofoam cups of dehydrated, deep-fried strings of food-like substance that expands in salty broth with desiccated onion flakes. This mainstream perception does a disservice to true ramen, which is one of the world’s greatest culinary marvels and, when done right, is a dish of exceptional complexity that explodes with bold flavour. Luckily for us, places like Workshop Vegetarian Café are
here to represent craft ramen and remind us that noodles are things of beauty, especially when immersed in lovingly rendered broth. As its name suggests, however, Workshop doesn’t serve ramen in broth made with pork bone-based stock (one of the better known ramen styles, tonkotsu, has a characteristically thick, cloudy stock because of the rendered fat and collagen from the pork bones and is the style upon which the instant soups attempt to draw). No,

Soft-boiled egg is a filling option from page 25
Workshop is a strictly a veggie affair, but rest assured, the absence of roasted bone byproducts in no way compromises the depth of flavour of the dishes here. At first blush, Workshop appears to be a bakery/grocer and indeed there is a robust inventory of in-house baked goods, which includes dense and nourishing yeast bread, cookies, cinnamon buns, carrot cake, muffins and trail mix made with matcha, as well as a carefully curated selection of local, organic and healthful vegetables and sundries for sale. The space is bright and almost stark, with light wooden floors and displays giving the venue a disarming and down-to-earth, DIY charm. All items on Workshop’s menu are organic, wherever possible, and raw goods come
from responsibly produced suppliers. Based on my recent visit, during which the space was packed with keen diners, I would suggest that the ramen, udon and rice noodle bowls are the stars here. First among the dishes sampled was Organic Spicy Tan Tan Ramen, featuring the signature wheat noodles drowned in a miso broth (this is the traditional Hokkaido approach to ramen) thickened with butternut squash and accompanied by kale, a mushroom and nut medley and rayu oil (made with chillies and sesame). The broth was thick and cloudy, with a clear cashew presence that leant the dish a buttery richness. Mushrooms gave the broth an earthy lift and the miso, as you’d expect, supplied a tangy, salty punch. The rayu oil was a lot tamer than I expected and I wouldn’t characterize
this dish as spicy, for those put off by the promise of heat. A soft-boiled organic egg, a nice option available on all dishes for just $1.80, made the Tan Tan Ramen a filling, hearty option. The second dish sampled was Rice Noodles with Organic Cashew Sauce, seasoned with exceptionally fragrant, citrusy yuzu oil. The dish was lovely in its bright colours (julienned cabbage, apple, scallion and carrots top the dish, along with toasted nuts) and light, fresh flavours. As with the ramen, the dish achieved its round creaminess from the silky cashew paste in the sauce. Along for the ride on this visit was my 21-monthold daughter, Baby N, who enjoyed an order of toasted, preservative-free, organic, house-made yeast bread with peanut butter and jam. Judging from the volume
of patrons alone, I would suggest Workshop has certainly tapped into the ever-emerging Vancouver meta-trend of vegetarian, ethically produced food served in an approachable space. I think they’ll do well, as long as people remember they’re down there on a largely industrial strip of Pemberton Avenue. Two entrees and the order of toast, along with a latte, was $37.50 before gratuity.

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to
reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech. Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours‡ of hearing with only one charge.
Thebrainrequiresmorementalenergywhen listening in difficult environments. This effortful listening in turn leads to fatigue. increases in stress, tension, and fatigue. A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel. A growing body of research suggests that hearing aids may reduce listening effort, and in return mental fatigue when processing speech in noise. Digital Noise Reduction technology has been shown to

Dancer trades tutus for tackles
Baigent having a blast with Argyle senior football team ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
For Mikayla Baigent, the scariest part about switching from ballet to tackle football wasn’t the thought of getting hurt, it was the idea of putting herself out there with a large group of classmates she didn’t know.
Her first introduction to the Argyle Pipers senior football team was at an open information session held in the school’s theatre room. Tired of the rigours of dance – ballet, modern dance and several other styles had been her life from age four to 14 – Baigent slipped into the meeting last year when she was in Grade 11 to see what the football program was all about. “I didn’t really know any of the guys,” she says. “That was actually more the scary thing for me, actually putting myself out there.” She sat by herself and kept quiet. Head coach Wayne Theobald registered her presence but it didn’t occur to him that she was there to potentially join the team. “She was there hanging out, but she was just sitting by herself so I thought she was part of the theatre group,” says Theobald. “And then later she grabbed a pamphlet.” She was there to play. Getting her on the team was actually no big deal – Theobald told her what the practice times were and how she could get her equipment, and that was it. Well, almost it. At a parent information session before the start of the season there was another quick meeting. “Her dad, who is a South African rugby player, big guy, he came up to me and said I’m really happy that my daughter is playing, can you just make sure that we keep her safe,” recalls Theobald. “I said no problem at all.” There were, of course, safety concerns to take into consideration. Not only was Baigent brand new to the collision sport, but she was also the shortest
and lightest player on the roster, listed at five-foot-five and 120 pounds. Baigent, however, figured she’d had a lifetime of preparation for football. “I have four little brothers, so I’ve always liked the physical sports,” she says with a laugh. When she got onto the practice field for the first time, however, there was some trepidation. “It was scary,” she says. “I was also learning everything from scratch, so it was kind of confusing at first. The guys were great. They were really supportive, and they’d always tell me what I was doing.” Theobald, meanwhile, was impressed with what he saw. “She’s fast and she’s really athletic,” he says, adding that he noticed her skills during spring flag football season. Baigent played in both the boys and girls divisions. “In the boys division she’s good. In the girls division she dominates.” Soon it was time for a real game. Baigent made her debut as a Grade 11 player and Theobald eased her into action. He can still recall the first moment Baigent put herself in the line of fire on a kickoff coverage team. “We kicked to the opposite side but the kick returner started returning it and he started coming towards her side,” he says. “She was like the last person left and she was fearless – she went to hit the guy and take him out and she was all ready to hit him and at the last second he slipped, wiped out and fell on the ground.” Theobald says her courage was evident on the play. “She’s not afraid of contact.” This season, her Grade 12 year, she’s seen more action as a receiver/ cornerback, and Theobald says he has stopped worrying about her. “This year we’ve practiced tackling over and over all the time, so I don’t really have tons of concerns with her,” he says. “It’s not really a safety issue

‘She’s a football player,’ says coach
From page 29
with us anymore. She’s a football player.” Baigent beams as she describes her first big hit, which came in the team’s homecoming game against Frank Hurt secondary. “I made a tackle!” she says, recalling the play in which the opposing running back broke through the front line and raced towards her and another defensive
back. “Me and Caleb Rogers, we kind of gang-tackled him. It felt great – it was so exciting.” Baigent is not the only girl to take up football in the British Columbia high school league, but it is rare. She’s never seen another girl on the field, and, judging by the reaction she gets at the end of games, most of her opponents have never seen one either. “After the game when you
shake hands they’re like, ‘Whoa! It’s a girl!’ which is fun,” she says with a laugh, adding that she’s having a blast playing the game. “It’s exciting. It’s a lot of fun. I don’t get the ball that much, but just being out there is a lot of fun.” According to Baigent and her coach, her Argyle teammates think it’s a lot of fun too. “They’re fantastic with her,” says Theobald. “They

just treat her like a teammate, they’re really positive with her. It’s a really good environment for her. … They really like her being part of the team.” Baigent also gets extra support from her brother Jared, a Grade 11 player on the team. They can’t, however, hide their sibling rivalry, says Theobald. “When they do drills against each other they really don’t want to lose to each other,” he says with a laugh. “The sister doesn’t want to lose to the younger brother, and the younger brother doesn’t want to lose to the sister. They battle each other pretty hard.” The North Shore News caught up with Baigent and Theobald following Argyle’s 30-14 win over Langley
Friday at William Griffin field, the team’s first regular season game of the year. The Pipers are now 3-1 overall and are hoping to make a run at the provincial AA title this season. Whatever happens, Theobald says he’s happy to have Baigent along for the ride – having a girl on a senior varsity football team is something he never encountered during his playing days. “I’m an old-timer,” he says. “Women’s sports has changed so much. Back in those days there were pretty limited sports that women could play. Definitely no one would even think of a woman playing football. Not a chance. It’s good to see things change. … I think it’s fantastic. I’ve even asked
some other girls in the school to come try out and play some football too, but I get a lot of kind of interesting looks and then usually I get a ‘no.’” Baigent, however, is happy she said ‘yes.’ “I miss dance sometimes, but football is so much fun – I wish I’d gotten into it sooner,” she says, adding that the experience has added a lot to her school life as she gets set to tackle graduation at the end of the year. “It’s been a really big growing experience for me. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone a whole lot, gotten a bit more confident as well. It made school a lot more fun as well. I never had any school spirit or anything like that before – now I have a reason.”

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! LAST WEDNESDAY'S SUDOKU SOLUTION:
