Paint dumped down drain pollutes pond in North Van city park JANE SEYD

jseyd@nsnews.com

The City of North Vancouver is investigating and is preparing to pump up to 400,000 litres of water from a local pond after paint was spilled into local watercourses near Tempe Heights Park this weekend.

Early investigations show the paint was dumped into a drain on private property, which then fed into municipal storm drains, according to the City of North Vancouver. Staff are still working to find out who dumped the paint, the reason why the material was dumped, and exactly what kind of paint it was, according to city spokesperson Pardeep Purewal. It’s unclear exactly how much paint was dumped, however the paint turned water in the Tempe Heights Park pond and other nearby watercourses a milky white colour over the weekend. City staff first received a report of the problem Continued on page 32

Area resident Jason Rivero looks over the pond at Tempe Heights Park that was turned white by a spill of paint upstream. The pond will likely need to be pumped out to remove paint sediment deposited on the bottom. PAUL MCGRATH / NSN

NEWS POLL

IOUs come through during digital outage

1 in 5 North Shore residents say they don’t have a family doctor

JANE SEYD

jseyd@nsnews.com

No cash, no credit card, no debit. No problem!

While most retailers were gnashing their teeth Friday after a Canada-wide Rogers network failure left them unable to process any kind of electronic payment, several North Shore businesses got around the system snafu the old-fashioned way – allowing their customers to come back and pay later on the honour system. Delany’s Coffee House in North Vancouver’s Edgemont Village was one of those offering java junkies IOUs on Friday. The locally owned coffee shop opens at 6 a.m., which is when baristas first noticed the electronic payment system was down, said owner Robin Delany. That happens periodically, when electronic payment systems go offline temporarily, said Delany. But when he found he couldn’t send any text messages, Delany said he headed to the coffee shop in Edgemont Village where he discovered “there were a lot of upset people.” That’s when he decided to allow most regular customers to pay on the IOU honour system. Usually, most customers pay for their morning caffeine hit on credit or debit cards, said Delany. “Very few people are carrying much cash.” Delany, who has three coffee shops on the North Shore and one in downtown Vancouver, said the decision to go with IOUs on Friday is really just an extension of what he’d normally do if a regular customer forgot their wallet. Most customers at the Edgemont coffee shop are regulars, he said – though the store gained some customers from the nearby competition Friday, which wasn’t offering the coffee-now-pay-later option. “We have a very loyal clientele.” Delany estimates between 75 and 90

About one in five people on the North Shore don’t have a family doctor, according to a recent poll by the North Shore News.

Robin Delany and son Devin Delaney at the Edgemont location of Delany’s Coffee. The shop extended credit to customers during the Rogers wireless outage and reported that all their customers honoured their coffee debts. PAUL MCGRATH / NSN customers took advantage of the option to caffeinate now and pay later while the electronic payment system was down, racking up IOUs of several hundred dollars. Almost all came back later Friday or over the weekend to pay back the cash, he said. “People weren’t looking to take advantage of us.” Some other nearby businesses, including Edgemont’s Bufala Pizzaria, were reportedly also offering the eat-now-paylater option to customers without cash on hand on Friday. “Their tabs were certainly higher than

our tabs,” said Delany. Delany said customers were very appreciative of the gesture from the coffee shop Friday morning. “When you’re walking into a coffee shop at 7:30 in the morning, and you can’t pay with whatever form of payment you have, and you’re on your way downtown, or you’re going out to the valley for an hour car ride, you sure want to have a coffee,” he said. The outage over the Rogers network Friday disrupted electronic payment systems as well as some government services across the country.

Of 1,460 local people who responded recently to the online poll, 18.97 per cent indicated they don’t have a family doctor and can’t find one. Sadly, the only surprising thing about that result is that the numbers aren’t higher. A total of 3,657 responses including both locals and people who live off the North Shore indicate about one in four don’t have a family doctor. Province-wide, it’s estimated that about 900,000 people in B.C. don’t have family doctors. At the beginning of June, there were 7,640 patients on a centralized wait list for a family doctor on the North Shore. But that doesn’t include many others who aren’t on the list. Officially there are 287 general physicians working on the North Shore, according to the North Shore Division of Family Practice. But that number includes locums (doctors who fill in for regular physicians), doctors who work in salaried positions at Lions Gate Hospital and the Urgent and Primary Care Centre, as well as those working in specialized services like sports medicine, and those who work part-time. At least six family doctors have retired in recent months, while others have announced their plans to do so soon. Full-time doctors on the North Shore can have more than 1,200 patients. When they retire, there’s rarely anyone to take their place. – Jane Seyd

ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY

West Coast Modern week celebrates iconic North Shore style NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

When Ned Pratt planned to build his family home for $10,000 in 1951, a British Properties sales agent tried to kibosh the plan, arguing the price tag was too cheap for the neighbourhood.

At the end of May, this year, an Arthur Erickson in West Vancouver sold for $4.3 million. Notable for their architectural legacy, these modest yet beautiful homes built in the

20-some-odd years after the Second World War exist in a much different light today. Throughout this past week, West Vancouver Art Museum and the non-profit West Coast Modern League hosted talks, a photo exhibition as well as the annual home tour to celebrate the Pacific Northwest’s take on modernist architecture. A number of these North Shore homes going down in recent years has sparked public outcry, and calls for stronger measures from local government to preserve them. At

the same time, others have been put on the market for exorbitant sums, drawing both criticism for exploiting culture for capital, as well as praise for protecting them in a practical way. In any case, the West Coast Modern movement is still drawing eyes, ears and dollars decades after its inception. So where did it come from, and what’s its significance now? Later in the prolific career of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, he started designing

so-called Usonian homes to reflect the New World character of the modern American landscape. These dwellings exemplified themes from Internationalist style, as well as Japanese design for its romanticism and connectedness to nature. Beginning in the late 1930s, Usonian homes were built affordably with local materials, for middle-income families. Features included flat roofs with cantilevered Continued on page 34

NOWHERE TO GO

Frequent transit users call for toilets at Phibbs Exchange BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

When the province debuted its $30-million plans for a modernized Phibbs Exchange last month, many North Shore residents and commuters noted a conspicuous absence in the list of amenities: public washrooms.

TransLink confirmed there will be a new “comfort station,” including toilets, for bus drivers, but there are no plans for facilities where the roughly 16,000 passengers per day can go do their business. North Vancouver retiree Christopher Kay blanched at the idea of rebuilding the transit hub from the ground up and leaving out a place for travellers to go when they’re on the go. “It is asinine. It’s irresponsible,” he said. Phibbs is a major interchange for the transit system and it largely serves people who have to make multiple transfers or cross a notoriously congested bridge, Kay noted. “It means, obviously, that anyone who is using Phibbs Exchange is taking, on average, a longer bus ride, and to not have washroom facilities when we’re spending $30 million is really quite unbelievable,” he said. Elly Stornebrink said she has in the past asked if she could use the existing washroom meant for drivers and been denied. “It’s not fair to the public,” she said. “And then women, we have certain needs. Let’s put it that way.” Stornebrink said she would like to see something along the lines of the self-cleaning public washroom outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. Lynn Valley resident Judith Brook passed through Phibbs every working day for 31 years, and can attest to what desperation will drive people to do when nature calls. “I have seen people run off the bus into the bushes to have a bathroom break, because we all know what traffic jams are like,” she said. “I think I may have done that myself.” The decision is even more confounding given that the transit authority is upgrading Phibbs and planning to introduce a new bus rapid transit line across Burrard Inlet

because they want to make transit a more attractive option for commuters. “It’s just wrong and I see it as short sighted. I really do,” said Brook. In a statement, TransLink spokesman Dan Mountain said more public washrooms are coming to transit facilities in the transit authority’s 2022 investment plan – but there are only six coming across the system. “The main barrier to installing more washrooms in the past has been making sure that washrooms are safe and well maintained, which requires significant annual operating funding for security and maintenance. It’s not as simple as building and opening them,” he said. Each new washroom is expected to cost $1 million up front, plus $300,000 annually for maintenance and security. “TransLink has been working with the Mayors’ Council, our board of directors, and all levels of government to get sufficient funding in place to appropriately ensure washrooms are safe and well maintained for customers,” Mountain said. Where those six new washrooms will be installed hasn’t been decided yet, but locations will be picked based on how busy they are, whether the sites can accommodate the infrastructure, the length of the trips that passengers are making through them, and how far they are from other public washrooms, Mountain said. North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA and transit booster Bowinn Ma said the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s designs for the site include plumbing connections. “I completely understand why people would like to see public restrooms at Phibbs Exchange,” she said. “Whether they’ll be hooked up and made available to the public or just for employee use will be for TransLink to consider.” A proposal will be going to the TransLink Mayors’ Council for consideration in early 2023, Mountain said. Work on the Phibbs Exchange revitalization is expected to start this fall and last until 2024. If Phibbs doesn’t make the cut, Brook has a suggestion for TransLink. “Then please plant a few maple trees so when we run for the bushes, we’ve got somewhere to go,” she said.

NEWSBRIEFS RIDER IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER HIGHWAY 99 CRASH One person was sent to hospital in critical condition following a “serious collision” involving motorcycles near Lawrence Way on Highway 99. Southbound traffic started moving again after being closed for more than four hours Saturday afternoon on the Sea to Sky route north of the accident. West Vancouver police responded and were working to clear the scene. WVPD told North Shore News that two motorbikes were involved. Ambulances made it to the scene through traffic, and RCMP Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service also arrived on the scene. BC Emergency Health Services said it dispatched two ground unit ambulances to a motor vehicle accident on Highway 99 near Lawrence Way in West Vancouver. “Paramedics cared for one patient who was transported to hospital in critical condition,” a spokesperson said by email. As of 6 p.m. Saturday, DriveBC said the highway was fully open. The highway was originally blocked at around 1:30 p.m. – Nick Laba

he province’s plans for a $30-million modern Phibbs transit hub are awash in many upgrades. But a public washroom where commuters might answer the call of nature isn’t among them. This is a significant oversight. While authorities insist the new transit hub will be more “friendly and welcoming” and could even contain a coffee shop one day, bus riders have told stories about desperate travellers discovering a dearth of facilities dashing into the bushes to relieve themselves. The upgrade oversight seems even more ludicrous given that bus drivers will be getting a new “comfort station” including toilets, at Phibbs. Surely planners who see the need to provide commodes for drivers might also be able to grasp the need for the same among the 16,000 passengers who use the exchange every day? Particularly as

Phibbs serves those who are typically on longer trips requiring multiple transfers. For a transit system looking to make riding the bus a convenient and comfortable option, omitting washrooms from the plans is decidedly not a smart idea. The potential for vandalism and for the use of washrooms as a place to conduct criminal business or do drugs appear to be the biggest concerns identified. Yet in recent years we’ve also realized that the provision of public washrooms is a basic service, a nod to common decency. Airports have washrooms. So do ferries. And SeaBus terminals. And streets in downtown Vancouver. It seems silly to have to point out that toilets aren’t a luxury that only some kinds of travellers get to access. It’s time for TransLink and the province to flush this loo-lacking plan in favour of a more laudatory, lavatory-enabled option.

Early election could help Horgan’s successor keep NDP centred The early departure of John Horgan as B.C. premier raises the very real possibility that the next provincial election will be called well before the Oct. 19, 2024, date that is currently scheduled.

Horgan’s successor (who appears almost certainly to be current AttorneyGeneral David Eby) may find it tempting to call an early vote rather than View From trying to govern The Ledge for two more years Keith Baldrey without facing the electorate. Those two years will likely see a string of controversies and hot-button issues begin to accumulate. Rising inflation, a deteriorating health care system, high housing costs and various weather disasters are going to make governing increasingly difficult for anyone. On top of that, Eby (assuming he becomes the next leader) will find himself under pressure from various activist wings of the BC NDP to abandon Horgan’s

“progressive centrism” approach and embrace a more left wing, environmental activist direction. Some of that pressure may come from members of his own caucus. North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Bowinn Ma recently posted a multi-part thread on Twitter in which she insisted the next NDP leader had to be what she called a “Climate Champion.” And she defined that as a leader who will agree that “addressing #ClimateEmergency is a moral imperative, who will take an unambiguous stance against the expansion of fossil fuel extraction, including LNG [liquefied natural gas], and end measures designed to incentivize the industry.” Ma, who is a cabinet minister of state for Infrastructure, appears to be now opposing a key part of her government’s economic plan: the LNG industry. Ma is certainly not alone among New Democrats who want a more aggressive approach when it comes to fighting climate change. Others want a complete ban on the logging of all old-growth timber, a move that would bring the B.C. forest industry to its knees.

Still others want a ban on fracking (used to extract natural gas), an even higher carbon tax and more action taken against resource industries. Will Eby be able to stand up to the pressure coming from what undoubtedly will be a much louder protest wing of his party? Horgan was able to keep the environmental movement at bay throughout his time as premier. Unlike his predecessors of NDP governments in the 1990s, he was not panicked by large demonstrations aimed at government policies. Pulling the plug early and securing a new four-year mandate would further silence those internal critics, as well as drive a dagger through the heart of a still shaky BC Liberal Party. An early election call would also put the BC Liberals at a distinct disadvantage in an important area: money. The party is simply not fundraising at anywhere near the same pace as the NDP, which has about a two-to-one edge and which is financially poised to run a much better-funded election campaign. Of course, perhaps Eby will want to steer the government in a completely

Sam, a two-year-old beagle, is a frequent visitor of North Vancouver’s Central Lonsdale offleash dog park. The constant noise from the park is annoying the neighbours, according to one letter writer. PAUL MCGRATH / NSN

DOG PARK HAS NORTH VAN RESIDENTS HOWLING UP A STORM Editor’s note: The North Shore News published a letter from a reader last Wednesday, and since then, we’ve been inundated with comments about the offleash dog park in Central Lonsdale, just off East Eighth Street and Lonsdale Avenue. Here’s just a selection of them:

Dear Editor:

I have been visiting the dog park above Victoria Park/Keith Road at about 11th and Lonsdale. We love this park! The big dogs play with the little dogs; people from apartments and condos and townhouses come to this park which is walking distance for so many of us. We are fortunate that it is near our cardiologist’s office and we can get an afternoon tea from across the street. There is a bowl which everyone fills up when it gets empty as the dogs all take turns drinking from it. It must be exhausting to be a dog, to play hard. It’s nice to know they can freshen themselves. The best part is that there are three stations like palapas where the dogs and their owners can sit out of the hot sun. Yes, there are some dogs that bark upon their approach to the park, but those same dogs will still bark when their owners are taking them out in the morning. As a frequent visitor, it is such a joy to

see the dogs. What I really like is the community that has developed between neighbours, dog or no dog.

Dear Editor:

Ann Wodak North Vancouver

I live in the new condo above the park and am awoken on Sunday mornings by either dog fights or barking dogs. There are signs suggesting dog owners keep the barking levels down, but they seem not to respect the written rules. This dog park is annoying many residents including myself. This is a peaceful neighbourhood otherwise.

Emergency of the Week

Yvette Roper North Vancouver

Dear Editor:

There is always something that upsets people who, for one reason or another, do not like any kind of change to their neighbourhood. Is it such a change from people park to dog park? Believe me if it stayed people park, the complaints of noisy users would be the topic of this letter. As previous dog owners they must know people have to take the pets somewhere. This way it’s a nice meeting space and friendships between both people and canines are made. It’s this or people walk their dogs on streets or other parks where children play too.

New buildings must be ‘climate ready’ in District of North Vancouver BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

Developers seeking to build in the District of North Vancouver will soon have to be up front about how much carbon their projects will produce in order to be constructed.

Comfort is more than a feeling – it’s a promise No matter how cold it is outside… you can count on a quality built, super efficient York furnace to keep you warm and toasty inside. Affordable, quiet, and reliable - you can count on a furnace from York to provide consistent comfort throughout your home.

District council voted unanimously July 4, aiming to make new buildings “climate ready” as part of its rezoning process. Under the new policy, anyone seeking to rezone a lot will have to show an accounting for the embodied carbon in their project, with the intent that overall emissions can be mitigated through better design and choice of construction materials. Measuring embodied carbon is an emerging science but it involves estimating how much carbon has been emitted through raw material extraction, manufacturing supplies and the building process. Most concrete production is considered carbon intensive, while wood frame and mass timber are often cited as ways to sequester carbon. Developers will be expected to also report on what steps they’ve taken to reduce the carbon output over the life cycle of their project. Support for the new rules was unanimous among council members. “I think that this has always been considered the blind spot of the building industry… This is something that we need to do,” said Coun. Megan Curren. “I think this puts us in a leadership position. It’s a good start.”

Tackling embodied carbon is consistent with the district’s declaration of a climate emergency in 2019, added Coun. Jim Hanson. “It would be a shame to have that declaration rendered insincere by ignoring embedded carbon in concrete structures, particularly very tall concrete structures,” he said. “If we’re taking climate seriously, we’re going to find ourselves looking more favourably on wood frame structures, including tall wood.” But, even with a lower carbon footprint, life in new builds could still be made miserable thanks to a changing climate. Under the changes, new buildings will be required to have air filtration systems capable of removing the most harmful particulate associated with wildfire smoke and street traffic. New large buildings will also come with requirements for cooling systems that will prevent dwellings from exceeding 26 C with the windows closed, something that should reduce the likelihood of premature deaths, like the more-than 600 B.C. saw during the 2021 heat dome. The policy specifically calls for new projects to incorporate passive cooling, including the use of shades or trees to lower the temperature for folks living and working inside. The new rules will only apply to multi-family, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, not single-family homes, largely because big buildings tend to have large design teams capable of implementing the more complex regulations.

CROSSING THE OCEAN

Brainy North Shore crew sets sail in Victoria-Maui race NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

A sailing team stacked with doctors and professors is set to run a tight ship on its 4,275-kilometre race across the Pacific, so long as the crew isn’t three sheets to the wind.

On July 1, sailing vessel Flow left its home port of Thunderbird Marina in West Vancouver on its way to the starting line in Victoria. The Vic-Maui International Yacht Race officially started on July 4, with ships was heading down the West Coast before sailing into open water on the way to Hawaii. On board are skipper Dr. Stuart Horak, Dr. Sean Staniforth and Dr. Martin Roos, who all work at Lions Gate Hospital; Daniel O’Brien, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers who also lives on the North Shore; as well as UBC physics professor Andrea Damascelli and UBC electrical engineering professor Lukas Chrostowski. On Flow, a 36-foot Dehler yacht, the brainy bunch will sail 2,308 nautical miles, crossing three time zones deep into open ocean. The team anticipates the trip to take 16 days, but it could be as short as 14 or as long as 18. Despite being the shortest – and therefore slowest – of the 12 boats in the race, the crew is going for gold. The results are determined by a sophisticated handicap system based on a predicted maximum speed each boat should go, which means Flow has a fighting chance. Working in the crew’s favour

are previous sailing experiences together, and strong friendships. In 2019, Flow and most of its current crew competed in VanIsle 360, placing second in its division in a 14-day race around Vancouver Island. More recently, in May, Flow placed second overall in the three-day PNW Offshore race from Ilwaco, Wash., to Victoria. Working against the crew are dangers of being at sea, and the rum ration. A host of mechanical issues can go wrong on the boat, and

there’s no shop to take it to. So you have to anticipate what can go wrong, and have lots of space, explained Roos. “One of the most common things that can fail on a boat is the steering can go out,” he said. “So there’s a completely separate backup steering, a whole other rudder.” The boat carries an angle grinder on board, with a diamond blade that can be used to cut through heavy-duty rigging that can snag on the steering under

the boat if the mast goes down. Sudden weather events will happen, and they’ll have to jump into action to get the sails down. Occasionally, hurricanes will come up from the Baja Peninsula – which happened during the race in 2016 – so the crew will be keeping an eye to the weather to steer clear of those. They’ll also have to avoid other open ocean obstacles like shipping containers and whales. To be as nimble as possible, creature comforts have been cut

to the bare minimum. Normally, cruising boats are lined with cosy cushions. “All that’s been hauled off and stripped down,” Roos continued. “We’ve replaced it with vomit-proof boards.” Only the essentials remain: “Basically, it’s going to be sails, food, water and rum,” said Skipper Horak with a chuckle, reminding Roos that they’ll need the ship’s electronics in addition to the sailor’s tot. While the crew isn’t allowed any outside help to navigate, they’ll be able to access publicly available information like government websites and weather reports – using a snail’s pace satellite connection. They also have to make daily contact with the race committee. Only Damascelli has sailed the route previously, but several crew members have expert yachting qualification. Many of them are good friends too, so Horak said mutiny is unlikely. “If we have one strength, I think that as a crew we should all get along really well,” he said, adding that a few of them do regular ski trips together. Regardless of the race’s outcome, the crew’s families are meeting them in Hawaii for a week-long holiday with sailors from the other ships. “That’s kind of the reward in some ways,” Horak said. If you want to follow the Flow’s progress, you can watch the race live on the vicmaui.org, or the SV Flow - Vic Maui 2022 Facebook page.

Photo radar ticket tossed out because B.C. flag ‘too indistinct’ BRENT RICHTER

A driver dinged by the North Shore’s only automated speed camera has successfully had his ticket The disputant tossed out, argues that the arguing there is no proof image of the the licence ‘decal’ is too indistinct ... and, plate captured in the having taken photo radar a view of the sting was one image, I must from British Columbia. agree.

The incident happened in June 2020 at the intersection of Capilano Road and Marine Drive, according to court records

JUDICIAL JUSTICE GERRY HAYES

in a ruling released June 16. An enforcement officer reviewed the digital evidence gathered by the camera and determined the syntax on the plate follows the same pattern used by the province of B.C., the ruling states, which is two letters and a number followed by two numbers and a letter with a space and B.C. flag decal in between. “The officer has viewed tens of thousands of images in the course of his duties and despite the fact that the words ‘Province of British Columbia’ are not evident, it is his view that there is a B.C. flag decal, which divides the numbers and letters on the plate,” judicial justice Gerry Hayes wrote. “A subsequent check with ICBC confirms that there is a matching British Columbia plate issued to the disputant, as set out in the certificate evidence.” When it comes to proving traffic

camera cases in court, the Crown has a “relaxed evidentiary burden,” Hayes acknowledged in the ruling. Anyone wishing to dispute an automated ticket must show “evidence to the contrary.” In fighting his ticket in court, Adrian Vershinin chose to cross examine the enforcement officer and the photos, focusing on the officer’s ability to determine that the licence plate in the certificate image was one issued in the province of British Columbia. He asked the judge to independently review one image, which had been cropped and zoomed in. “The certificate of vehicle ownership proves that the disputant has a licence plate registered in their name, which matches the licence plate found in Vehicle Image 4. The Crown relies on the enforcement officer’s interpretation that the ‘decal’ in the image is that of the flag

of the province of British Columbia, thus proving the Crown’s case,” Hayes wrote. “The disputant argues that the image of the ‘decal’ is too indistinct to establish the jurisdiction and, having taken a view of the image, I must agree with the disputant in this regard and will enter an acquittal.” In 2019, the province announced that 35 intersections that already had cameras set to catch red light runners would be modified to capture speeders as well. In 2021, the speed camera at Capilano and Marine nabbed speeding drivers 462 times, according to RoadSafetyBC, down significantly from the 732 violation tickets for speeding issued there in 2020. Across B.C., 46,700 drivers received speeding tickets from automated cameras in 2021, although there are no readily available stats on how many of them were tossed out.

Trans-Canada bike ride cut short by crash with motorcycle CHARLIE CAREY

Local Journalism Initiative Reporter/ccarey@nsnews.com

After riding across Canada for almost two weeks straight, a North Vancouver ovarian cancer advocate had her Guinness World Record try cut short as an accident in Quebec left her with a concussion and ankle injury.

something I wanted, but the more important thing to me was raising awareness and money.” As of publication, Hayes’ and her team have raised over $120,000 for ovarian cancer research at the BC Cancer Foundation and Ovarian Cancer Canada. “Today, thousands of Canadian women are living with ovarian cancer and another 3,100 will be diagnosed this year,” Hayes writes. “I am riding so that the women who hear this story know the following: our pap tests do not test for ovarian cancer; we do not currently have a screening test; and that every [person] with ovaries is at risk. I will stop at nothing to see this through.” Unsure if she’ll try the feat again, Hayes isn’t ready to say “never” to riding across the country once more. “Apparently, it was just a bad year, but I had a bad year the last time I did it, as well,” she said. “Typically winds go from west to east, but each time I’ve done this ride, I’ve had headwinds and they’ve been pretty awful. “The fire is still there. I’m definitely frustrated about the result. As an athlete, it’s hard to walk away from something like that. … it’s still going to be something that eats at me, it’s still going to be there. So, I’d love to say never again, but I think I’d end up eating those words, to be honest with you” Hayes said laughing. Hayes said that without her support team and sponsors, the ride wouldn’t have been possible. Finding community in fellow cyclists has helped boost the fundraiser immensely. “There was always a great risk involved with a challenge of this magnitude. While it’s devastating that the world record won’t be set, we’re not going to stop chasing the greater goal: to raise awareness for ovarian cancer,” Hayes wrote on Instagram. More information about Hayes’ work can be found at her website biancahayes.com, while donations for ovarian cancer research can be made at her donation page. Charlie Carey is the News’ Indigenous and civic affairs reporter. This reporting beat is made possible by the Local Journalism Initiative.

Bianca Hayes had been cycling almost 20 hours a day during her world record try, leaving Vancouver City Hall on June 13. Taking a short break every four hours and only sleeping two to three hours a night, Hayes rode thousands of kilometres eastward before the unfortunate turn of events lead to the mission being called off. “We [were] getting to the really exciting part … the last 48-hour push, which was great, and it got cut short a little suddenly, unfortunately,” Hayes told the North Shore News. “But I’m really proud of everything that we did. … It was very exciting and a massive achievement up until the accident, but I’m just feeling very lucky.” Hayes, no stranger to long rides, has been raising money and awareness about ovarian cancer since losing her sister to the disease in 2018. Taking part in the annual Ride to Conquer Cancer just a few months after Katrina’s death, Hayes rode to San Francisco in nine days the following year. Trying to bring international attention to the disease, Hayes set out on her first Trans-Canada ride, becoming the fastest woman to bike across Canada in 2020. This year, Hayes was trying to raise $1 million for ovarian cancer and set the Guinness World Record for fastest Trans-Canada ride. Posting to Instagram on Day 13 of her ride, Hayes told followers that she was involved in an accident with a motorcycle near Quebec City, Que., and ended up in hospital following her injuries. “I’m still a little slower than normal. But it could have been a lot worse. [There are cyclists that] weren’t so lucky. There was a recent [fatal] accident in downtown Vancouver just a few days ago, so it puts it all into rather harsh perspective,” she said. Sending an email to her helmet manufacturer, Smith, Hayes said she is very lucky and very happy her concussion isn’t worse. “I think the technology that they have in helmets nowadays, MIPS -- the inner movement that they put in -- all the different parts of that helmet really came together and saved my brain,” she said. Even though her world record try was cut short, Hayes said the ride was always about raising money. “It was always for ovarian cancer. It was North Vancouver bike rider Bianca Hayes set out on her crossto raise money and country ride June 13.

NSR breaks record for their fastest helicopter rescue BRENT RICHTER

brichter@nsnews.com

It’s another one for North Shore Rescue’s record books.

backcountry and getting them harnessed in. Loree couldn’t say exactly what the previous record for a helicopter rescue was, but long-line missions typically take at least an hour and 15 minutes. “That’s one of the beauties of the hoist,” he said. “It makes it a lot more expeditious.” With the sun setting, the hiker did the right thing by having his friends call for help as soon as it became apparent he was in trouble, Loree said. Currently, the team has provincial approval to conduct helicopter searches in darkness using night vision goggles, but despite much lobbying, they still do not have permission to use their hoist to rescue people after dark. “It would have turned into a much longer rescue just because there would have been a ground response at that point,” Loree said. “We basically had five minutes of light to spare … to legally fly and do that kind of rescue.” Anyone planning to go into the backcountry should be well prepared, both with the right gear and knowledge, Loree stressed. “Evaluate that with your fitness level and the amount of time it’s going to take you to complete,” he said. “Be aware that there’s still snow up high, which could make the hike take longer.

The team pulled off their fastest ever helicopter rescue July 2, after a report of a hiker having cardiac issues on St. Mark’s Summit. The team got the call around 9:20 p.m. from a group of hikers reporting a friend in his 20s experiencing an elevated heart rate. It was lucky that a Talon Helicopter pilot was still at the hanger at YVR and could get the rotors going, said Jim Loree, North Shore Rescue search manager. “Our goal was to get him out of there as fast as possible,” Loree said. “We basically launched right away knowing that we had hardly any time to get this rescue done because of darkness.” Rescue volunteers met the Talon helicopter at the Capilano Gate SAR station and headed straight for St. Mark’s. From the air, they were able to quickly lower down a rescuer, get the man strapped onto a back board and lifted back to the chopper. They had doctors and paramedics waiting at Cap Gate. “It was around 38 minutes from when we were called to getting the fellow handed over to the ambulance,” Loree said. “That’s definitely a record. We’ve never been able to do it that quickly.” The record was only made possible by the relatively recent addition of a Dauphin helicopter to Talon’s fleet in late 2020. It is equipped with a hoist that allows rescuers to be lowered down directly to where they are needed and lifted back up. Using their familiar yellow A Star helicopter, the team would have had to use a long line, which requires them to first do a reconnaissance flight around the area, then return to the nearest search and rescue station to North Shore Rescue volunteer John Blown operates the hoist attach the line and rescuers on Talon Helicopters’ Dauphin helicopter in December of before heading back to the 2021.

Public art piece shares stories of life during a global pandemic CHARLIE CAREY

Local Journalism Initiative Reporter/ccarey@nsnews.com

Born from the desire to connect community during the COVID19 pandemic, the City of North Vancouver’s latest public mosaic art piece has been unveiled.

Standing at the corner of 15th Street and Grand Boulevard, At Home is a response to the effects of the pandemic on the community, and is the final stage in the North Van City Mosaic project, one of five projects created by the Mayor’s Healthiest Small City Social Resiliency Collective. “Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic there have been times where everyone has felt isolated and alone. These challenges required communities to act,” Mayor Linda Buchanan said. “That’s why I brought together the Mayor’s Healthiest Small City Social Resiliency Collective to facilitate new community connections and create a space for people to have their voices and stories recognized. The At Home mosaic was one of the collective’s projects initiated to strengthen our resilience and provide hope. I am so proud to see it unveiled.” Supported by funding from the City of North Vancouver, North Van Arts,

United Way of the Lower Mainland, North Vancouver Recreation & Culture Commission, Family Services of the North Shore, and North Shore Neighbourhood House, the project was built and brought to life by artist Blake Williams. Created in two phases, people who had a connection to North Van, whether through work or play, were asked to submit their personal COVID stories through images and words. Artists Sandrine Pelissier and art therapist Sophie Babeanu facilitated the gathering of stories. Each of the art pieces submitted were then combined to create a digital mosaic image of hands in the shape of a heart located in The Shipyards District. The second phase of the project saw selected images shared on the digital mosaic, including drawings, paintings and photographs from community members to form the public art piece by Blake, representing hope and resiliency. A digital flip book has been created of the more than 700 images and stories submitted by the community and is viewable at northvanarts.ca.

A new ranking of small Canadian cities puts the North Shore’s most metropolitan municipality in the sixth spot. The City of North Van was outpaced by B.C. peers Victoria and Kelowna, but beat out other top10 finishers Burlington and Lethbridge. The list was produced by consultancy Resonance, which advises clients in real estate, tourism and economic development. The firm’s best cities rankings “quantify and benchmark the relative quality of place, reputation and competitive identity for cities all over the world.” Resonance noted that North Van, the city with the smallest population in its top 25, has some of the biggest natural attributes of any city – large or small – and increasingly urban ones, too. “Start at the urban gateway to the city, in Lower Lonsdale, North Van’s downtown – today a magnetic gathering place that has absolutely blossomed over the past decade, with some of Metro Vancouver’s most open, accessible and walkable public spaces forged from and woven into a historic and authentic working waterfront,” reads the report. The list also tips its hat to the region’s unique public transportation. “The proximity of this

edge-of-the-wilderness location to the vast built environment cannot be overstated: downtown Vancouver is a mere 15 minutes by one of the most spectacular modes of public transit on the planet – the SeaBus,” the report continues. But Resonance lamented the heavy traffic that backs up on the North Shore’s two major bridges that connect to downtown, which many North Vancouverites rely on to produce the sixth-highest household income among small cities. No wonder commuters rank fourth in cycling to work, the consultancy said. “But biking here transcends traffic jams. This is the birthplace of North Shore mountain biking, after all.” With the numerous activities afforded by the local mountains, the report highlights that locals rank first in its self-employed category. “Who could stick to a 9-to-5 with the great outdoors calling daily?” To be considered a small city, it must have a population of less than 200,000. Around 60,000 live in the City of North Vancouver. “The Best Cities rankings are composed of experiential factors that people consider most important in choosing a city to live and visit, as well as empirical factors that business decision-makers consider important for business or investment,” Resonance president and CEO Chris Fair said in a statement. Last year, Vancouver ranked 46th in the consultancy’s list of world’s best cities.

‘ONE LOVE’

Squamish Nation to hold its queer community up in Pride event CHARLIE CAREY

Local Journalism Initiative Reporter/ccarey@nsnews.com

Pride at X̱wemelch’stn is back after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Sunday, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) will hold Nch’ú7mut (One Love), its pride celebration, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. at X̱wemelch’stn field. Events like this – and the rainbow crosswalk at Welsh Street and Capilano Road which the Nation unveiled in 2019 – are just some of the ways the Nation shows support and acceptance of its LGBTQI2S+ members, spokesperson Syexwáliya (Ann Whonnock)

said. “We felt it was really important to do this in the community to show our support … because we have a number of citizens within our Nation who fall into one of the categories of LGBTQI2S+. And the two-spirited people have always been important in First Nations communities and some cultures because they are seen as special, and having gifts that they could share with their Nations or tribes,” she said. Having a pride parade through the Xwemelch’stn community for the first time since 2019, Syexwáliya said bikes, floats, and trucks will be decorated to show “support for

our family members.” “And be able to hold them up and show that we have that togetherness, of sharing the time and connecting with one another, and to raise awareness against the bullying and harassment that [members of] the LGBTQI2S+ community face in their lives every day,” she said. Syexwáliya noted it’s also a chance for everyone to be able to stand up and take a stand against inappropriate behaviour. “It also shows to the wider community, outside of [Squamish], the support we give, and to pressure the outside politicians to improve their laws, so they’re more inclusive

of the LGBTQI2S+ community.” It’s also an opportunity for the Nation and its members to inspire people to proudly step into who they are, she explained. “In the past, everyone hid who they really were, and having this kind of event – and we’ve also even had a blanket ceremony and covered those who stood up proudly declaring who they are – you know, it’s partly to inspire people to reveal, accept, and be comfortable with who they are as human beings, and their sexual orientation.” Charlie Carey is the News’ Indigenous and civic affairs reporter.

New Senior Independent Housing Building in Lynn Valley

Bystanders honoured for saving life in North Vancouver parking lot NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

When a shopper went into cardiac arrest in the Park and Tilford parking lot earlier this year, three bystanders quickly jumped into action.

They were strangers to each other, but they all had CPR training and worked together as a team. Two were shopping at the time, on March 5, and the third was a store supervisor on his lunch break. Paramedics from BC Emergency Health Services honoured the citizens for their life-saving efforts with Vital Link Awards at a ceremony presentation on June 25. Liam Marcoux, a new probationary Vancouver firefighter at the time, had emergency medical responder training but hadn’t used it until that moment. He was the first to get chest compressions started early, according to a statement from BCEHS. “It was nice to be able to put my training into practice. It was easier than I thought it would be,” Marcoux said. Also on the scene was Devan Coward, a teacher at École Ross Road Elementary. “When we realized the store had an AED (automated external defibrillator), we were able to get that on the patient’s chest, and delivered a number of shocks before paramedics arrived,” he said. Coward is a former lifeguard, as well as an EMR and first aid trainer who teaches CPR to

students. Save-On-Foods supervisor Ray Wong rushed to grab the AED device inside his store. Wong has CPR and AED training. He said having others who knew how to administer CPR and their support helped calm him to aid in saving the patient’s life. These bystanders were instrumental in keeping the patient alive, explained paramedic specialist Brian Twaites, who was the emcee at the award ceremony. “By calling 911 for an ambulance, starting early CPR and using an AED, they clearly helped save this patient’s life.” Megan Lawrence, acting unit chief of Station 256 in North Vancouver, who was one of the attending paramedics on the day of the incident, nominated the award recipients.

NICK LABA

nlaba@nsnews.com

Can the story of Robin Hood be told without a cast of men in tights? A new stage adaptation of the story in North Vancouver intends to find out.

The wealth-redistributionist tales of Robin Hood and his merry band take centre stage on the grounds of Presentation House Theatre, in the company’s first-ever summer outdoor theatre program. The “irreverent” retelling by The Lakeside Players takes place July 16-23, and casts the story’s beloved characters in a new light, and looser pants. Together they tackle the chronic issues of injustice and inequality through laughter, music and adventure in a lighthearted summer theatre experience for all ages, according to a statement. “The story of Robin Hood remains timeless because wealth inequality seems to be a timeless issue,” said Jack Rennie, playwright, director and co-founder of The Lakeside Players. But the idea of a righteous hero pulling a community to salvation no longer seems to fit, he added. “This adaptation of Robin Hood emphasizes the power of community to elicit change and perhaps knock down the Sheriff of Nottinghams in our own lives.” The play features North Shore performers Nevada Banks, Bronwyn Churcher and Brodie Nicholls. It was written by a team including Jack Rennie and composer Landon Doak,

Permit Holder: B.C. Ministry of Forests, Range Branch 2100 Labieux Road, Nanaimo, B.C. V9T-6E9 | Phone: 250 739-8206 Attention: Becky Brown, Invasive Plant Specialist

A Pesticide Use Permit has been issued for the purpose of eradicating invasive intertidal cordgrasses (Spartina spp.), which are designated as Provincial Noxious Weeds under B.C.’s Weed Control Act. Treatment areas will be restricted to infestations of Spartina on cobble beaches, salt marshes and intertidal mudﬂats (at low tide) located in Boundary Bay, Robert’s Bank, and Burrard Inlet, but treatment may expand over the course of the permit period to include sites at Sturgeon Bank and Sea Island. The total area for this herbicide treatment is a maximum of 10 hectares annually, spread across approximately 12,488 coastal hectares. Pesticide applications will consist only of the herbicide product called Habitat Aqua (active ingredient: imazapyr) PCP #32374, which will be applied to selected sites using backpack sprayers or mounted sprayers. Pesticide applications will complement existing and ongoing mechanical removal methods. This is the fourth Pesticide Use Permit established by the provincial government for treatment of Spartina spp. in this region. The previous nine years of herbicide treatments have shown a signiﬁcant decreasing trend in the overall abundance and distribution of these noxious weeds. This pesticide use may occur during the months of May to November, from July 15, 2022 to May 31, 2025. A copy of the Pesticide Use Permit and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be viewed online at: http://ow.ly/aKMI30smsrj Or by contacting the applicant, Becky Brown at: 250 739-8206.

Taming wild garlic yields surprising, delicious results LAURA MARIE NEUBERT

Contributing writer

I was delighted recently to identify what I believe is wild field garlic (Allium vineale) growing in the understory of our dwarf fruit trees.

The diminutive, fully formed bulbs weigh in at about 10 per cent of the weight of conventional hardneck garlic. Last February, while renovating a patch of overgrown landscape into raised beds for a friend, I came across small, ordered clumps of delicate, tubular mounding grass. What struck me was its vibrancy and tender suppleness, at a time of year when most plants remained dormant. Curious, I transplanted the slightly pungent clumps into one-gallon pots, and set them aside under the shade of a nearby oak tree. There they remained for 15 months – slumbering quietly, insulated by fallen leaves. I ran across them again three months ago, reaching up through the sea of brown detritus like a family of brilliant green sea urchins. I was smitten, and brought the beautiful creatures home. I transplanted them into one our front garden beds, alongside native wild strawberries and perennial herbs. They did not take at all well to transplanting, so I attempted rescue with a top-dress of vermi-compost

and restorative cold teas of soluble mycorrhizal fungi, kelp and sea minerals, administered weekly. Slowly but surely my garden babies of unknown progeny recovered, and about three weeks ago, several dozen miniature garlic stocks started emerging here and there among the clumps of stringy and decidedly un-garlic-like leaves. Then slender scapes appeared, arching up and turning toward each other, forming little green hearts of gratitude. I was delighted. Once the scapes had produced one full turn, I pulled out a few whole stalks for examination. After consulting my 1931 edition of Wild Plants of Canada, and several more current foraging guides, I am quite sure that field garlic, a.k.a. stag’s garlic, is the correct identification. I was fascinated to also learn that every wild plant that smells like onions or garlic is edible, and that field garlic provides much needed nourishment and immune system fortification during the cold winter months, when little else is growing. Look for field garlic under deciduous trees that let precious, life-giving sunlight stream down between bare branches. Field garlic is delicious. I have decided to use the tiny cloves in jars of pickled cucumbers and baby carrots. Some I will confit by Continued on page 25

Garlic is a wonderful natural medicine Continued from page 24 submerging in olive oil, and cooking slowly over low heat until golden brown. Some I will leave in the ground to propagate naturally, and I may save some seed to plant elsewhere on our property. Aromatic garlic is one vegetable that I couldn’t live without, and is one of the easiest to grow in planters, pots and beds. I plant hardneck garlic cloves in early March, in individual pots, then transplant them carefully into large planting holes when the leaves are about eight inches high. It’s a non-traditional approach perhaps, but it works for us in this cold and wet climate, and I like the real-time flexibility of choosing just where to plant along with other seasonal starts. Cured garlic stores well in a cool dark environment, but it is best enjoyed when fresh. Sliced fresh garlic can be dehydrated and stored in a jar, or powdered. I keep an old coffee grinder just for blending small quantities of hard spices, as the small bowl and strong motors make quick and easy work of it. The scapes too are delicious fresh, pickled or fermented, and can be used in place of clove garlic to make pesto, hummus, salsa, and thousands of other recipes. Think of garlic as one of nature’s finest and most delicious natural medicines. Research shows that garlic helps build immunity and protection from common colds, contains powerful antioxidants to help prevent cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, and helps regulate blood pressure and

District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services members are being praised for saving an injured driver and someone else’s dinner plans all in one call.

All the local happenings in one place. nsnews.com/local-events The North Shore’s most comprehensive event listing site

The incident happened in the evening of June 11, said assistant chief Haida Fortier. A SkipTheDishes delivery driver went off the road on the 900 block of Shakespeare Avenue and hit a tree. The man was injured badly enough that he wouldn’t be able to finish the call, and BC Ambulance Service paramedics had to be called in. “Then crews noticed that there was a SkipTheDishes box in the person’s vehicle and the address for the delivery was also displayed. It was only a few blocks away,” Fortier said. With the patient handed off to the care of paramedics and the car wreck being dealt with, fire Capt. Glen Carnie saw no reason why a nearby resident should be left with an empty tummy. “[He] always goes above and beyond for customer service and supporting the community,” said Fortier. The hungry homeowner was grateful, if a bit shocked, to see who was delivering her meal. “Sure enough, they pulled up in front of the residence and the resident who had ordered the food was over-thetop excited. She came running out of the house, waving her arms and just could not believe that her dinner for that evening had arrived by fire truck,” she said. District firefighters pride themselves on finding opportunities to extend their good work whenever possible, Fortier added, although moonlighting as delivery drivers is “a very unusual circumstance for us to be involved in.” “It made the captain and our members really feel like they were doing something nice for a member of the community,” she said. “Someone was having a really bad day and they were able to turn that situation around and make a really good day for someone else.” A gratuity for the prompt delivery wouldn’t have been required, Fortier added. “I think the smiles in the photograph were enough of a tip for our crew,” she said with a laugh.

Return of Tsleil-Waututh Nation canoe races brings healing to the community

Over the weekend, Tsleil-Waututh Nation held its first Whey-ah-Wichen Canoe Festival after the event had to be called off for two years during the height of the pandemic. First Nations gathered and camped at Whey-ahWichen/Cates Park from Coast Salish territory across We always say, the Lower Mainland, ‘This is where Vancouver our ancestors Island and live.’ So when Washington you’re out State. in the water, For they’re with Indigenous you. participants TEWALEWET and spec(DEANNA GEORGE) tators, the races mark a return to community gathering, a practice that’s both sportive as it is an act of healing, and a reminder to all that the waters must be protected if they’re to be a lasting resource for present and future generations. TWN Chief Jen Thomas said not being able to carry on their traditions really disrupted their lives. “Some may look at it as, ‘How is it culture?’ but the gathering of

our people and the Nations is the biggest, important thing,” she said. “We connect with our families again, we get to meet new family members, or just the hugging – it’s a big part of our lives.” Thomas also noted that the event is a sombre reminder of how pollution affects her community, given that the water has always been such a big part of their well-being. “My last race I raced here was in 2016 and there was the biggest oil tanker out there. Our canoes were tiny in comparison,” she added. But Thomas also noted the positive impacts of Tsleil-Waututh efforts to restore the inlet piece by piece. During another recent set of races, whales swam right through the canoes. “The whales started to come back because we put kelp up Indian Arm,” she said, “Herons started to return.” Another project involves putting clam beds back in the water. They haven’t been able to harvest clams for over 30 years, despite being a historically abundant resource in the area. Gabriel George – director of treaty lands and resources for TsleilWaututh Nation – asks that people of settler ancestry be allies in their conservation work. “The standards we set are higher than the government, and I think that’s something that would benefit all Vancouverites, all British Columbians, all Canadians and the world,” he said, pointing to research

that’s established the health of local waterways before colonization. “If we could collectively work to getting this back to even, say, 1930 levels, it’ll be worth way more than any [shorter-term] economy that can be created,” George continued. Racing in the men’s-11 event, he noted that canoeing isn’t just a sport. It’s a way of life. It’s a spiritual practice. “When you look at reconciliation, I think more Canadians realize the damage that has happened to our people, as a result of residential schools, as a result of colonization,” he said. “Well, this is one of the big antidotes.” Canoeing as medicine has a long history. Tsleil-Waututh Nation Coun. Tewalewet (Deanna George) said that the discipline required to be a puller helped war veterans survive when other treatments weren’t available. Her late uncle Herbert (Paddy) George was on the 1946 championship team. “He said that’s what saved them,” Deanna George explained. Part of it is the intense discipline required, which involves watching your diet, jogging daily and sixmonths training. Part of the healing is just returning home. “We always say, ‘This is where our ancestors live.’ So when you’re out in the water, they’re with you. They’re helping you, they’re pushing you, they’re making you strive to do your best,” she said. “That, to me, is human.”

What you need to know about replacing your windows: full frame vs. retrofit replacement You want to lower your energy bill by installing new energy-efficient windows in your home. Before you go window-shopping you start by getting quotes from local window companies.

A Perfect Blend of Beauty and Functionality

Call us today at 604.946.4333 We insure and warranty all our services. WCB Insured, BBB, Liability Insurance.

The window products you’ve been shown are all top-quality and the companies that have come over to give estimates all have years of experience and positive customer testimonials on their websites. So why is one of the quotes substantially lower than the rest? Darrell Akune, who co-owns Northshore Windows with Jonathan Haagensen, says it’s important to understand that not all window installations are the same.

“

There are two main methods of window replacement: “full-frame” and “retro fit replacement.”

So it is important to ask the right questions before you start your project. “You need to ask up front if it will be a full frame or retro fit replacement,” he said. “These two installations are very different – and so too will be the cost.” During a full-frame installation, window installers will replace all the window components and also

HOME

PRO’S

inspect the rough opening for any type of damage, which may include moisture or rot. During the installation process, windows are custom-fit with brand-new exterior fascia trim and interior wood trim. Extra materials and extra labour mean that this process will cost more. However most cases, Akune says this type of installation allows for a much more reliable weather seal and will fix any issues with integrity of the wall structure, which will save homeowners from future headaches. In a retro fit replacement, the original window frame is left intact and only the glass and sashes are replaced. The existing wood or aluminum perimeter frame stays, and there is no inspection of the rough opening. This can often leave moisture and rot issues in the structure undetected, and susceptible to future water ingress. The seal around the exterior perimeter relies entirely on caulking. Some window companies now modify this type of installation,

fully removing the original window frame. While this may seem an improvement, it leaves the new window even more vulnerable to future water leaks. Although retro fit replacement is a less costly solution, in the long run in may not end up saving you money if you have to deal with leaky windows in the future. Akune understands that shopping for new windows can be daunting for homeowners and that’s why Northshore Windows goes out if its way to explain the finer details about proper window installation. Northshorewindows.com has plenty of online information resources to help you understand more about windows and exactly what to expect during your install.

Here are some steps seniors can take to beat the heat The long-awaited summer has arrived on the North Shore.

CKLG radio station

This 1911 building (formerly BC Telephone Exchange), at 143 East 11th St. in North Vancouver, once housed the CKLG radio station in the late 1950s. CKLG was owned by Lions Gate Broadcasting Ltd. (hence “LG”), a North Van company founded by four brothers, Gordon, Earson, Clarke, and Jack Gibson. CKLG went on the air on Feb. 2, 1955, at 1070 on the AM dial. A couple of years later the station upgraded to a 10,000-watt transmitter and moved to 730 on the AM dial. (Remember LG73?) In 1961, the Gibsons sold CKLG and the new owner eventually moved operations to Richards Street in Vancouver.

BECAUSE WE ARE LOCAL, not a US Franchise!

It is a time to shake off the inactivity of the winter and rainy spring months. Warm days and nights provide a wonderful incentive to get out and enjoy walking, hiking, gardening, or doing an outdoor activity like going to the park for a picnic or playing Older pickleball. And Wiser Last year, as we Margaret Coates know, was complicated by a heat dome which posed serious health and safety issues for seniors, and in fact caused heat-related deaths. While we might not have a serious or life-threatening heat wave this year, it does pay to be smart about the heat. If the weather is sunny and warm, but not unbearable, we still need to be aware of how warmer temperatures can affect us. This is the time of the year when risks of becoming dehydrated and sick from the heat are the greatest for older people. Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn’t have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don’t replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated. Older people are at higher risk of

dehydration because as we grow older our bodies have less ability to hold on to water and to feel thirsty. So, it is advisable to drink water (best form of liquid) throughout the day. It has been suggested that for a 150pound person, about eight glasses of water should be consumed per day. We should also avoid sugary drinks and alcohol. HealthLink BC says that “too much heat can be harmful to your health. Heat-related illness is the result of your body gaining heat faster than it can cool itself down. Heat-related illness can lead to weakness, disorientation, and exhaustion. In severe cases, it can lead to heat stroke, also known as sunstroke. Heat stroke is a life-threatening medical emergency.” HealthLink BC suggests calling 811 (available 24/7) for health advice. Isolated seniors or people who live alone in poorly ventilated environments or without air conditioning are very susceptible. According to Health Canada, symptoms of heat illness can include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst, and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. Health Canada suggests, “If you have any of these symptoms during extreme heat, move to a cool place and drink liquids right away.” If we have a heat dome event such as the one we experienced last year, we’ll need Continued on page 31

Seniors are particularly at risk during hot weather. SANDOR GYARMATI/DELTA OPTIMIST

Cooling centres open in extreme heat Continued from page 30 to rely on more ways to avoid heat-related illness in the hot weather. You might need to find air-conditioned spaces like libraries, community centres and recreation centres to hang out in for parts of the day. Or you could go to cooling centres which will be stationed across the North Shore. North Shore Emergency Management will have a list when the weather is hot enough to open them. Either call them at 778-338-6300 or check out their website at nsem.ca. The website also has important information about emergency preparedness. Be aware of other simple strategies to beat the heat. These include dressing for the weather (wear protective, breathable, and light fabric), avoiding the direct sun, wearing sunscreen and a hat. If you have an outdoor area, fill up a kiddie pool and plunge your feet in, or indoors you could fill a large container

with water and stick your feet in. Take a cooling shower when you feel overheated. Exercise wisely, without getting overheated. Staying cool and trying to stay active might involve combining activities like walking along the sea wall where it is generally cooler. Or you could go on a forest walk under a canopy of trees. As we know, the North Shore has many fantastic walks by the ocean and in the forest. Mosquito Creek combines a tree canopy and water. If you can get to the Shipyards at the bottom of Lonsdale, join the kids at the water park – there’s no reason you can’t dip your toes in. Enjoy the summer, but be heat smart.

Pond needs to be pumped out Continued from page 1 Saturday night. Local resident Jason Rivero said he was alarmed to see signs of the apparent pollution in the water while he was out for a walk with his wife on Sunday. Rivero said he and his wife were walking in the park when he noticed the water in the pond was a strange hue. “I was sure it was paint,” he said. “I just didn’t know where it was coming from.” Rivero said city works crews were on site and had placed some absorbent material to try to contain the pollution and clean it up. Crews were still out at the site on Monday afternoon. Purewal said Tuesday the outlet of the pond has been boomed off and crews have been collecting as much of the pollution as possible. Most of the paint appeared to have collected in the Tempe Heights pond (north of Highway 1) and in Greenwood Park (south of the highway), said Purewal. She added crews are hoping that will reduce any potential impact to downstream fish populations in Wagg Creek. City staff have been consulting with provincial Environmental Emergency Response staff, as well as environmental consultants, and have been advised they will likely need to pump out the entire Tempe Heights pond to remove any paint sediment that has deposited on the bottom. The cleanup process is expected to continue for a few days and will include removal of any fish or wildlife in the pond,

said Purewal. To date, one dead fish and numerous live fish have been observed, she added. An environmental consultant hired by the city will help monitor the removal of water, document all impacted wildlife, and save any native species where possible, she said. Rivero said he’s especially concerned as he has seen similar kinds of fouling of local watercourses in the past. He’s taken photos of strangely coloured water on previous occasions and sent emails to Environment Canada, but “they sent me to another bureaucratic office somewhere.” Rivero said he’s not sure if his complaint resulted in any action as nobody ever got back to him. Purewal said depending on the outcome of the investigation, whoever is responsible for dumping the paint could face fines as well as be hit with the cost of the city’s spill response. Purewal said it’s important for residents to keep in mind that all storm drains eventually flow into downstream fish habitat. Depositing any material into the drainage system is also a violation of the local bylaws. If anyone observes a spill, paint, or chemicals being washed into a storm water drain, or a contaminated stream, they should call the city operations department at 604-987-7155 or 604-988-2212 (in the case of after hours emergency). Residents can also call Emergency Management BC at 1-800-663-3456.

West Coast Modern still an evolving style

Smith House II was built in 1966 after being designed by Arthur Erickson. It was commissioned by West Vancouver artist Gordon Smith and his wife Marion. JOHN FULKER / WEST VANCOUVER ART MUSEUM

Continued from page 4 overhangs for solar heating and passive cooling; a non-revealing public side facing the roadway entrance, opposite an open private side which often overlooked a garden terrace; and clerestory windows to let natural light in from above. Inspired by many of the same themes, architects around Vancouver began building homes on the suburban North Shore, much of the time for themselves and their families. Using post-and-beam construction, they were able to build structures that were both cost-effective and showcased the beauty of the materials themselves. Many West Coast Modern homes were built on undesirable lots, but the challenge of putting a home on a cliffside could result in stunning visual portals to the surrounding Pacific Northwest landscape.

was also used to achieve the goals of organic architecture. Those architects – Ron Thom, Fred Hollingsworth, Barry Vance Downs and Kenneth Gardner, to name a few – really hit the nail on the head, explains Perooj Thakre, one of the panelists speaking to a packed house at The Polygon July 5. The movement resonated with people. They could see the change with the drastically different type of housing going up, along with branch libraries that were welcoming to a broader demographic of readers. “There’s a set of really important issues that West Coast Modernism addressed, and there was a visual style associated with that, because it was using local materials,” Thakre said. “But if we took those ideas today, they would have a completely different visual result.” Thakre is the founder of ph5 architecture. Her firm’s renovation projects include Peter Kafka’s Percy House, the west wing of West Vancouver Memorial Library and the Fairmont Medical Building on West Broadway. Seeing West Coast Modern homes become a branded object produces mixed feelings because she’s glad that some of them are being saved as a result. “But I don’t think our job today is to replicate that style,” she said. A new set of challenges – inclusion, climate change, accessibility, decolonization – have to be addressed, and require fresh thinking to do so. “A single-family house is not the way forward.” On the other hand, there are lessons from the movement that can be applied today, like architects banding together to focus on social good and a renewed focus on regional materials. Trevor Boddy, architecture critic and board member of the Arthur Erickson Foundation, says the recent rediscovery of West Coast Modernism is really good news. “I think very few on the North Shore realize how internationally important your collection of innovative houses is,” he said. “It’s the North Shore’s greatest contribution to culture in any form.” It’s known by every architect in the country, and many around the world, “so this is a point of pride for everyone there to be the birthplace of such innovation.” To Boddy, the tradition isn’t dead – it’s evolving. He points to current designers, like Blue Sky Architects, working on multi-family dwellings. There’s a continuation of the style but at a higher density. The test, he argues, is how West Coast Modernism can be adapted and grown to new conditions. While it’s great that we’re having this look backwards to what’s been done, “We have to move on and ask ourselves: ‘How can the North Shore inspire equally creative architecture today? What can we do as purchasers and as architects to create another wave of this power and import?’ “I think it can be done.”

a series of consultants who failed to co-ordinate with one another, there were “innumerable design errors,” Metro asserts. “Acciona and the DCS contractor breached their respective duties of good faith and honest performance and acted in a high-handed and reprehensible manner,” the counterclaim states, including “wrongfully and intentionally producing project schedules … knowing them to be untrue and inaccurate or reckless as to their truth or accuracy.” The claim also alleges Acciona released untreated groundwater directly into the District of North Vancouver’s sewer system, which was a permit breach. Metro Vancouver is asking the courts to award the regional government general and punitive damages, including the cost of hiring replacement contractors, increased costs for equipment and materials, extra consulting fees and administrative, security, and insurance costs. “The breaches of the project agreement by Acciona … have caused or will cause damages, costs and expenses to the GVS&DD in an amount exceeding $500 million,” Metro alleges. The original agreement included a clause indemnifying Metro Vancouver against all direct losses related to a breach of the contract, the countersuit states.

Continued from page 1 known until after the company signed the project agreement, Acciona alleged. Metro Vancouver has now filed its response to the civil claim stating the allegations in Acciona’s lawsuit “bear no resemblance to the realities of Acciona’s incompetent, wrongful and negligent performance.” At the same time, Metro’s lawyers filed a counterclaim against Acciona. None of the allegations, from Metro or Acciona, have been proven in court. Acciona did not immediately respond to a North Shore News request for comment on Metro’s suit. Although Metro and Acciona agreed in 2019 to make changes to the contract, Acciona came back in June 2021 with a new scheduling update seeking another 26 months for the construction period, which Metro Vancouver’s counterclaim says is “non-excusable.” “In addition to failing to meet the [project agreement] requirements, Acciona made hundreds of changes to dates and durations of completed work so the project schedule updates did not accurately reflect the actual completion dates and made hundreds of other changes contrary to proper and good scheduling practice,” the claim states. Acciona failed to properly interpret, understand and implement the project specifications, the claim adds. By using

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

Lucinda Mary Taylor Februaryy 12, 192 1927 – Junee 4, 2022

Everyone’s “darling heart” – Lucinda Lucinda, Cinders, Mum, friend – to know her was to love her. We were incredibly fortunate to have her love, kindness, creativity, intelligence and wit for as long as we did for our Mum lived until the grand age of 95 and four months. She would often say that she wanted to live to 100. Lucinda Mary Stevenson (“Lucinda” or “Cinders”) was born in the north of Ireland in 1927 to James Stevenson and Kathleen Young. She was the youngest following Barbara and Bristow. They were born near Feeny in the family country home known as “Knockan”. She grew up with servants, tennis parties on the weekend and ponies and dogs. Her education took place at home along with time spent with family in England. She had an adventurous spirit, and as soon as she turned 18 years of age she joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service and served until the end of World War II as an Aircraft Director, bringing the pilots safely back to base. She was very proud of her service and received a letter and certificate from Veteran Affairs Canada in 2021. Her Toyota Corolla “avocado” had a veteran’s licence plate. Her first marriage was to a Dutch Naval Officer when she was very young. She gave birth to her first daughter, Janna Kathleen. The young family moved from Ireland to the Netherlands to Indonesia (Surabaya) where they spent four years. Cinders made friends with everyone – ignoring class, colour or religious barriers, which were prevalent in those days. She loved to go to parties, always looking elegant, just like a movie star with stylish hats, gorgeous dresses and bright red lipstick. There Lucinda met a handsome young Scot named Alan Cameron Taylor amongst the British community and they became friends. They had a common interest and dream which was to one day move to Canada. Lucinda played the organ in church and apparently Alan would go to church every Sunday to listen to her play. Eight years later, Alan and Lucinda would meet again at Knockan. Lucinda had divorced the Dutch officer, returned to her family home with Janna and became a “Mum/Auntie” to her brother’s first two sons, Adrian and Peter (Adam) for the next five years. Meanwhile, Alan had left Java to immigrate to Canada, a country which he wished to adopt as his new home after visiting Vancouver when travelling as a young boy from China to Canada to Scotland. He loved Canada because even after his tuberculosis reappeared after his arrival in Canada, he was sent to a hospital for recovery versus being asked to leave.

Once full recovery had occurred, Alan decided to visit his Mum in England as well as visit Cinders in Ireland whom he fondly remembered from his days in Surabaya. Upon their reunion, sitting on the front oval lawn of Knockan, Alan proposed to Lucinda, and she said yes! There started the adventures of Alan and Lucinda who married in Penticton, BC on November 14, 1959. Two children were born in Penticton, Lesley Teresa and James Patrick Cameron.

Lucinda will be remembered for her love of life, voracious appetite for books, keen interest in art and history, love of music, piano and singing, long walks in the forest to hear the birds singing (she could identify each bird’s unique song), wonderful travel journals and photo albums of trips around the world, detailed drawings and notes on everything she saw and loved in nature, her story-telling, enthusiasm, creativity, curiosity, kindness, and intelligence.

Alan and Lucinda moved the family to West Vancouver where the three children went to school. They led a very adventurous life filled with travel to Hawaii, Indonesia, the UK, Europe, freighter trips to New Zealand and Rarotonga, Panama Canal cruises, and at least seven road trips across Canada in “Charlie” (fully-equipped Dodge Van with kayaks and bikes) stopping in “secret spots” along the journey.

Lucinda will also be remembered for her fearless stand on human rights. She championed women’s rights, and LGBQ rights in the early ‘80s and joined pro-choice demonstrations over the decades. She didn’t ‘lecture’ anyone, but would firmly call out racism and injustice providing her children with a model of integrity and compassion.

Lucinda loved music and the house was filled with the sounds of jazz, classical and international music and she encouraged all of her children to play an instrument or two. She was also a fantastic cook and loved to entertain vast numbers of friends and family in her home. Fresh baked Irish soda bread would greet the children in the morning as well as oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies. Special dinners would be a full Indonesian meal with all of the fixings. Delicious! And then there were family gatherings with neighbours at Christmas time and New Years with friends she kept for life. Lucinda studied at Capilano College to become a preschool teacher and taught for many years in a private West Vancouver preschool where she made lifelong friends with her colleagues as well as parents of her students. Education was very important to Lucinda and she was especially fond of the fouryear old students whom she taught, helping to bring out their creativity and curiosity. One student who attended preschool from time to time with his cousin was Justin Trudeau.

Her children will miss her forever. She knew how much they loved her. They looked after her with much love in her last years as her care increased. She would always say how lucky she was to have such a loving family, James (and Gayle), Janna (and Pat), and Lesley (and David). Lucinda/Mum you will be missed by your family in Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, France along with your many friends from all over the world. Your feisty spirit, your stand on individual rights, your spirit and love will remain with us always. You were a unique person. You were always ahead of your times. We love you! Please raise your glass to toast Lucinda whose “special Cinder’s drink” was warm milk with a shot of CC (Canadian Rye). Here is her message to all of us: A special toast to all of our friends Those who have gone ahead to show us the way

Lucinda also volunteered for many years at the Vancouver Aquarium which she loved and formed many wonderful friendships there. She had a great love of nature and her meticulous notes and drawings of marine life formed part of her educational narratives for the children she taught at the Aquarium. She also went on a special excursion to Haida Gwaii to study the endemic species.

May they all have a long and happy life

Alan and Lucinda were married for 45 years, and in his final years she looked after him with great care and love leading up to his passing on December 25, 2004. He was the love of her life, her “darling heart.”

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.firstmemorialnorthvancouver.com for the Taylor family.

Those who are still with us And those who are yet to come May they enjoy themselves, be good to themselves, and be good to other people.

Donna Lea Kraushaar

DYE, Helen Marguerite (nee Mallet - Paret) Helen was born October 2nd, 1945 in St. Paul’s Hospital; she passed away in her sleep at 19:25 on July 5, 2022 at the North Shore Hospice. Helen had struggled with failing health, for some time. She is survived by her life partner of 17 years, Roy Friis; two cousins, Judy Sneft and Bruce Peter; and extended family. Helen will be remembered and missed by an extensive circle of friends and colleagues from the travel business, the Dept. of Fisheries Lab in West Vancouver, an her UBC alumni.

Memories of our beloved mother, grandmother and sister reflect the beauty in the world and fill us with the incredible joy she felt for life. Anne (nee Cameron) and Dudley Richmond married in Ladysmith, South Africa, in 1957. They soon relocated to Guelph, where Anne, as a former professional ballet dancer, started up her own ballet school while Dudley studied at Ontario Veterinary College. After the birth of their daughter Alison, they moved out West, settling in Coquitlam, BC. The family continued to grow with the arrival of Andrea and John. In 1979, they purchased the Ambleside Animal Hospital and moved to West Vancouver. Soon after, Anne’s brother Gavin relocated to Canada, followed by their parents, Enid and Alexander. Anne and her youngest sister, Adrienne, would enjoy many visits over the years to Canada and South Africa. Anne’s lifelong interest in dance and total body fitness inspired her to study the Pilates method, earning her teaching certificate through the Vancouver Pilates Centre in 1996. She continued to study and teach under the mentorship of Dianne Miller at Canada’s original Pilates studio. In retirement, Anne and Dudley enjoyed family vacations at their property on the Sunshine Coast and travelling. Some highlights included Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, Namibia, Botswana, the Cook Islands, Hawaii, Europe, Alaskan cruises and several visits to the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon. A lifelong advocate of health, nutrition and wellness, Anne’s passion continues to inspire and will live on with her children Alison, Andrea (Ian) and John (Julia), and grandchildren Anya, Nicola, Samantha, Paige and Suki. The immediate family will gather for a private ceremony to pay tribute to their beloved parents/ grandparents, Gogo and M’Kulu, who passed within four weeks of each another. Soulmates for life, our belief is that they are together once again, youthful as always.

Dorothy Joan Paquette (née Tassie), aged 92, passed away peacefully on June 22, surrounded by family at the North Shore Hospice. She was predeceased by her husband George and daughter Anne. She is survived by her children Michelle, Susan, Linda and Paul, and grandchildren Emma, Eliza and Rodney. Private family interment. A longer obituary may be viewed on the First Memorial website.

It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our mom, Donna Lea Kraushaar. She died peacefully in her sleep on June 24, 2022, after a short battle with heart disease. We were not ready to let her go, it was too soon. Donna was born on September 26, 1946 in Vancouver, BC. She was married and raised her family in North Vancouver, BC. She worked for the City of North Vancouver for many years and in 2011 moved to Kimberley, BC to retire. Donna loved her family more than anything. She was our biggest supporter and our loudest fan. She loved being a nana to her three grandchildren and often said “They can have anything they want!” She loved her home and her garden and spent many hours beautifying both. She was musical – a piano player since childhood and a singer in community choirs. Donna made friends easily, wherever she went, and was passionate about volunteering for the Go-Go Grannies. Donna loved to travel and had many adventures with her family and her friend Tina exploring Europe, Mexico, Cuba and Norway. Donna became a lover of ice hockey late in life when she moved to Kimberley and began supporting the Kimberley Dynamiters. Donna loved her ‘boys” and cheered them on at every home game she could get to. She loved animals and had many beloved cats over the years. Her current cats, Clover and Loopy will miss her terribly. Donna is survived by her daughter, Brenda (Karl), son Bryan (Nellie) and her beloved grandchildren Leo, Kayla and Izzy. She also had many cousins and dear friends who will miss her. The service will be held on Monday, July 4th, 2022 at 1pm at the McPherson Funeral Home in Kimberley.

Five years later, Brad Wait Foundation has given over $300,000.00 to local charities by holding Brad Wait Memorial Golf Tournaments at Seymour Golf & Country Club. Quite the legacy! Brad Wait Memorial Golf Tournaments has received tremendous support from family, friends, Seymour Golf & CC members, Brad’s golf, hockey and business friends (and strangers). Thank you all. Missed and remembered. Love, Mom and Dad
