Foul play suspected in NV death
Smell alerts neighbours to concealed body
Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com
A badly decomposed body that appears to have been deliberately hidden in North Vancouver’s Lower Capilano neighbourhood this week may have met with foul play, according to investigators. Police were called to the scene just west of Capilano Road at about 5:45 p.m. Sunday after a neighbour reported a foul smell to the North Vancouver RCMP. Investigators searched the area and found the remains in a wooded space off a gravel foot path that links Curling Road with Belle Isle Place. “Itdidappearthatsomebody attempted to conceal the body, and at that point it was deemed suspicious, and that was the reason the (Integrated Homicide Investigation Team) was called in,” said Sgt.

Porsche horde defends its own After fines, club says members not speedsters
Teen sought in Edgemont gropings

POLICE are hunting for a young man wanted for allegedly harassing and sexually touching young women in the Edgemont/ Delbrook area.

THE leaders of a Lower Mainland Porsche club that made headlines earlier this month when some of its members were reportedly clocked doing as much as 50 kilometres per hour over the speed limit are defending their organization’s reputation. Four members of the local chapter of the Porsche Club of America were pulled over Aug. 4 after a West Vancouver police officer reported the luxury car drivers reaching speeds of between 125 and 131 k.p.h. in an 80-zone. In addition to hefty fines, the drivers had their cars impounded for seven days and were the target of some uncomfortable media attention. At the time, the members were travelling in an earlyNEWS photo Paul McGrath morning convoy of about 50 of the club’s Porsches.

On five separate occasions between Aug. 10 and 15, the suspect was seen following women in the neighbourhood, according to investigators. In each case he tried to strike up “inappropriate conversation” and, in three cases, touched victims in a sexual manner, they said. Police describe the suspect as 15 to 18 years old, short, with a slim build and dark skin. He has curly, black hair, speaks with a foreign accent, and has been seen carrying a North Face backpack, they said. “The police are concerned for the safety of young women in the area and are appealing to the public for help in identifying and locating this individual,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, a spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. “If anyone is approached by the suspect, they should call 9-1-1 immediately. Always be aware of your surroundings and of those individuals who may present themselves in a suspicious manner.” RCMP say they have stepped up patrols in the area and have called in a crime analyst to help ID the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact the North Vancouver detachment at 604-985-1311.
Killed by demographics, schools could be sold Brent Richter brichter@nsnews.com
THE North Vancouver School District is getting ready to unload four schools that have been shuttered due to declining enrolment.
Monteray elementary, Plymouth elementary, Ridgeway Annex and Keith Lynn secondary sites are all on the block for potential sale or rental after the school district decided four of its 11 “surplus properties” could be leased or sold — subject to board and community approval. “One of they key factors with these sites (is that) each of them has been vacant for a year and is still vacant,” said board chairwoman Franci Stratton. “Empty facilities obviously incur costs. . . . And neighborhoods don’t like to have vacant schools that are boarded up.” Of the seven other properties deemed surplus, Maplewood, Westover and Fromme elementary schools have already been leased long term. Two of the properties that have attracted more controversy, Cloverley elementary and the Lucas Centre, will require a more refined public consultation process before any decisions about their future can be made, Stratton said. That will likely start in the late fall or early 2013. “(We need) a longer, deeper look at these properties, the Lucas Centre being more complex,” she said. Blueridge elementary and Lonsdale Creek Annex are no longer being considered for sale and are likely to remain as is.
NEWS photo Cindy Goodman
NORTH Vancouver’s Ridgeway Annex is one of four schools the school district plans to put on the block soon in an effort to shed expenses. Some critics of the plan have opposed the sale of any of the properties on the philosophical grounds that public land should remain public. But, Stratton said, the buildings are shuttered and cost taxpayers money for upkeep when they could be put to better use. “There’s been, through the consultation process, thoughts around retaining land for the lon-
ger term; however, what are the creative ideas that can be used on these properties? That’s what we’re hoping to find when we see the proposals at the end of September,” Stratton said. Unlike most RFPs, the proponent will be required to present their ideas to the public as well as the school board before any decisions are made. “We’ve got four neighbourhoods of people
that will be impacted,” Stratton said. “They are the ones that need to be involved in the decisions or options for proposals that come forward.” There are no specific projects the board is hoping to see, preferring to leave the options “open,” but every proposal will be evaluated based on how well it meshes with the board’s strategic plan and the municipality’s official community plan. “And obviously we’ll be looking at the financial piece to the options that come forward,” Stratton added. It’s too soon to say how much the properties may be worth if they are either sold or rented, but Stratton said the public will have say in how the funds are spent, as long as it’s done to “enhance” education in North Vancouver. There’s also the matter of the $7 million the district owes to the Ministry of Education for financing previous school improvements, Stratton noted. “That is something that’s there for the board to consider. Other than that, we would be looking over the longer term at how we can improve and enhance,” she said. “Our budget is balanced without it.” Despite some early worries voiced by critics that all 11 properties were destined to be sold to condo developers, Stratton said this has been one of the most transparent processes the school district has been through, and there is plenty of consultation yet to be done. “We had a lot of good feedback from community members saying this has been an open process that has never been seen before,” she said. Stratton did not know yet how many expressions of interest or proposals had come in.

West Van Porsche outings to continue From page 3
“He’s not out to shut us down,” said Benson of the police officer. “He wants us to go a little slower.” At an Aug. 18 meeting, club members agreed to tighten up the rules to make it easier to identify drivers. The insurance waiver forms participants sign will now include the driver’s licence number and the vehicle make and licence plate, information that will allow the club to “more readily police any known infractions . . . and deal with them on a one-to-one basis,” said Benson. It’s an exclusive club, but Gumbel and Benson want North Shore residents to know that the members of the Porsche club don’t think they’re above the law. “We’re going to proceed with having the drive, but have a lot more responsibility to our participants and their actions,” said Benson. The next breakfast club ride will likely take place on Sunday, Sept. 9.

Prison break O
NE would think that a government that bills itself as tough on crime would take steps to bolster the justice system. In Canada, however, our lock-‘em-up federal leaders are doing precisely the opposite. It emerged this week that Corrections Canada has been ordered to cut almost $300 million from its budget over the next three years as part of Ottawa’s wider deficit reduction efforts. Although the move follows a temporary bump in resources aimed at expanding prisons, the cuts will undermine any effort to sustain those improvements in the long term.WhilecorrectionsCanadamayhave got some bigger facilities, its shrinking budget will ensure those facilities are overcrowded and understaffed, and that other penitentiaries slated for closure aren’t replaced.
This shift is taking place right as the Conservatives’ new tough-on-crime legislation is sending more offenders to jail. The resulting bloated prison population — which grew seven per cent over the past year alone — is destined to experience more cramped conditions, fewer opportunities for re-training and less supervision. Exactly what effect that will have on prisoners remains to be seen, but it is unlikely to be improved rehabilitation. Just as a steadily dropping crime rate should be making our streets safer, our government is working to make things worse — slashing budgets and needlessly tightening laws in a way that threatens to break our court system, and turn prisons into gangster factories. If our leaders are serious about improving public safety, they need to rethink their approach.

Big government stifles self-reliance
Dear Editor: I read with interest Elizabeth James’ column in the Aug. 15 edition of your newspaper (Alms and Animal Feed a Heartless Parallel). While I don’t agree with Benjamin Franklin’s views, as ascribed, concerning society’s obligation to its poorest members, I certainly agree with the opinion of his 18th-century contemporary, Thomas Jefferson, when he said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.” In modern times, Britain’s Margaret Thatcher’s apt observation about statism rings true: “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” If our society is to maintain, or as some might argue, recover its economic vigour, we need to pursue public policies that tend to encourage and support, not discourage and undermine, a self-reliant citizenry. We could begin by re-examining
our country’s current equalization scheme, up for renewal in 2014, that last year alone saw the taxpayers of Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan, collectively, send a staggering $15.43 billion to the people, rich and poor alike, of six other provinces. Quebec, with its pronounced commitment to state interventionism, took in some $7.39 billion, or 47.9 per cent of the total tax transfers. A waitress earning the minimum wage in a North Shore restaurant is subsidizing the virtually free daycare for the children of a Montreal physician or stockbroker. Where is the logic, never mind fairness, in that equation? This situation is not sustainable, let alone acceptable. In May 2014, Vancouver will host a World Taxpayers’ Conference. Perhaps Ms. James would like to join me in attending. It may prove to be instructive. David O. Marley West Vancouver
West Van dock decision in need of pier review Dear Editor: I read the notice regarding the closure of the Horseshoe Bay Pier to vehicles with some surprise. This decision, which takes effect Oct. 1, appears to have been made with the convenience of the parks staff in mind, not the public. West Vancouver’s website suggests the change is meant to ensure safety and to “maintain the pier in good working order.” Governments don’t usually close roads because cars cause potholes or keep people off buses because they wear out the seats. The Horseshoe Bay Pier is just that, a working pier and part of the road and water-access system.
CONTACT US
In this case, there is no other alternative; contrary to what the website implies, the elderly and mobility challenged are not able to transport their personal items the entire length of the pier, nor do most people have the budget to charter a water taxi each time they have more items than they can carry in a single trip. To propose such solutions shows a lack of consideration and a lack of awareness of who is using the pier and why. Perhaps it is time to have a public consultation. Removing a piece of public infrastructure that is vital to the community and to several Horseshoe Bay-based businesses without even trying to solve the
perceived problems is, well, wrong. Horseshoe Bay is a working port and always will be. If West Vancouver wants a pedestrian promenade and a place to have farmers markets and tourist attractions, it should create something new. Tourism and industry can coexist — like the concrete trucks on Granville Island. It just has to be managed. I know West Vancouver can do better, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with the municipality to find a solution that works for all stakeholders. Colin Cooper Gambier Island
Pull the plug on wired buskers Dear Editor: I love street musicians. If I am not rushing somewhere, I will stand and listen till the cows come home, and I usually pay for the pleasure. But I cannot stand it when they are plugged in to an amp (Busker Takes on City Noise Bylaws, Aug. 5, North Shore News). I was at the North Vancouver City Library last month, sitting around the fountain, and this woman was blaring out her songs from an amp. I couldn’t get away from it; I could still hear her music from 15th and Lonsdale. That’s not fair. If she wants to play that loud, she should rent a hall and sell tickets. I love listening to street musicians, but give people the choice as to whether or not they want to hear them. Adele O’Kill North Vancouver

Dr.’s needles stick it to chronic pain

The persistent discomfort of chronic pain can bring an individual to their emotional limit.” Dr. Chan Gunn, OBC, OC
SOMETIMES relief can come from unexpected places. My first encounter with Dr. Chan Gunn’s approach to the treatment of pain came when I saw David Ingram — of Centa Tax Services fame — interviewed on community television about intramuscular stimulation treatments he’d received for his lower-back and leg pain. Ingram had undergone the therapy at the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Pain (iSTOP), a nonprofit organization founded by Gunn in 1994 whose clinical mission is to “foster the education of physicians, physiotherapists, nurses and other healthcare professionals

Elizabeth James in the early diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue disorders.” Intrigued, I heard Ingram explain what is best described in lay terms as a cousin of acupuncture called dry-needling. Unlike that traditional form of Chinese therapy, the needles used for IMS are applied along well-defined nerve pathways in order to relieve specific muscular pain caused by what we call “pinched nerves” and a variety of other physical problems. Common among those conditions are carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and other causes of lower-back pain.
As Gunn told me last Friday, “It is not the nerves themselves that are sick; the pain they transmit is meant to alert us to something that is wrong elsewhere — often in the muscles or the structure of the body. “With a combination of laser treatment and the needling, we are able to treat those conditions and the nerve no longer needs to transmit their painful messages.” One of the reasons for my interest was that a family friend — “Elaine” — had been suffering excruciating sciatic pain for some months with little relief to be found despite the best efforts of her doctor. Following a discouraging visit to a neurosurgeon, Elaine was, indeed, at her “emotional limit.” So when she was told a surgical procedure that would fuse two or

natural pain-killing effect. When I reviewed that reaction with Byrne last Friday, she explained in her soft Irish accent: “IMS is a way of sculpting good postures out of the poor ones that lead to so many of these conditions.” It makes sense, therefore, that as she pointed out “a good posture helps to create a more optimal muscle balance.” And when I asked how a person can acquire the muscle strength required to support a good posture when workouts just result in more sciatica, Byrne suggested I explore Pilates as an alternative way of exercising. So watch out all you Pilates aficionados; your world is about to be upended. In the meantime, if any of you are interested in exploring IMS for what ails you, or See Hybrid page 11

IMS would be for me when I spent most of 2010 trying to shake my own lower-backpain experience. Overly-ambitious gym workouts after sitting at the computer every day had proven too much for my outof-shape — in more ways than one — body. So when my moaning and complaining strained Elaine’s patience, she said: “Either make an appointment with Deirdre, or stop asking me for advice.” Why I’d waited so long I don’t know because, after only two or three sessions under what others have called “Deirdre’s magic hands,” I wanted to skip out of her office, exhilarated by the freedom to move freely again. When I mentioned that reaction at the next appointment, Byrne said IMS releases endorphins — a type of hormone — to the brain and nervous system where they have a

more of her vertebrae was her best — if not only — option, it didn’t help matters that she felt she was not being given enough information about the long-term implications. Excited at what I was hearing from Ingram, I relayed the information and was met with an equally enthusiastic reply: “Yes! I read about IMS in today’s paper.” So, in the belief that IMS was worth a try, Elaine went to see Deirdre Byrne, a physiotherapist trained in the technique by Dr. Gunn. The results were startling. Improvement was immediate and, by the end of two months, you would never have known she’d suffered from sciatica. Although Ingram has since succumbed to cancer, he was equally pleased with IMS results. Little did I know in 2005/2006 how significant

Beloved bike lost to a thief
Dear Editor: I am writing to tell not only a story, but also to put out a warning to all North Shore residents that our community is still a target for crime. We live in a condo unit right beside Maplewood Farm. In the six years we’ve been there, we have never had a problem with crime. We have always left our stuff outside, never thinking twice about the possibility someone might take something. It is nice to feel secure in your home and your community. After all, the North Shore has one of the lowest crime rates in the Lower Mainland. But last Saturday, our sevenyear-old boy’s bike was stolen from outside our home. This bicycle comes with a story. This summer, our two
boys went on their first road trip to Alberta with my mother — their Nana. She knows a guy who rebuilds bikes and then donates them to families in need. Our son has had his last bike for two years, and he had outgrown it, but we did not have the money to buy him a new one, so his Nana acquired a brand-new bike (well new to him) from this man and gave it to him. It was a yellow mountain bike with front and back shocks. It fit our son perfectly. He really was happy riding it. The theft was a reality check for me as a father. It is not as if we left a Rocky Mountain bike with disc brakes and rock shocks in front of our home; we are talking about a kids’ bike, one that has no real value except
to the seven-year-old boy who loves to ride with his friends around our complex. Who could have done this? If you are a father who took it for your child, then you need it more then we do. Keep it and spend time with your children, but remember that you need to make things right some day. If you are a person who walked up from Seymour River after a night of drinking and decided to ride this small bike home or dump it in the bush, then you are a sad person and need to check your conscience. I do not know how to express my feelings on this matter. I do know that my children are very giving and if someone in need would have asked to use the bike my boy would have said yes.
We are a family of five with a newborn, seven months old, a five-year-old and a seven- yearold. My wife stays at home with the kids, and I work every day to ensure that they are taken care of. My plea is that the bike be returned. There will be no questions asked. I am a little upset with this, and I think that all parents should know that negative things can happen at any time, even right outside your front door. Take care of your things, but even more importantly take care of your family. Remember we may not be able to change the world, but we can change our lives and our community.

A call for science outside summer
Dear Editor: I was glad to see the story “Let’s Talk Science” in the Aug. 12 issue of the North Shore News. My grandson loves science, and over the years he has very much enjoyed the science day camps put on by High Touch High Tech in the summers at Capilano University and Mulgrave school. As he would like to follow up this interest during the school year, I searched for some sort of ongoing extracurricular science club, course or program on the North Shore, but my net came up empty. Apparently, there are occasional very short-term programs for certain ages at some schools, but I found nothing for a child who would benefit from the ongoing stimulation of a regular extracurricular science program. The recreation centres have all kinds of courses in athletics and arts, but nothing for kids whose major interest is science. I am thinking of trying to organize a science club for kids entering Grades 6 and 7. If we get together 10 kids, it can be done quite economically, and High Touch High Tech can provide the facilitator. Their program for this age group sounds fantastic. If anyone knows of an extracurricular science program for this age group on the North Shore, or if you are interested in having your child join such a group, please contact me at miriamj@shaw.ca.

Doberman hunt ends happily Jen St. Denis
jstdenis@nsnews.com
WITH the help of a few good friends in uniform, Jodie Cohan is now the proud owner of Niobe the lost Doberman.
On Sunday, Cohan, her boyfriend and members of the West Vancouver Police Department’s canine unit pulled the frightened canine, reported missing last month, out of the bushes beside the Upper Levels Highway. The dramatic rescue was a happy ending to the three-week search Cohan, a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the WVPD, had led for the dog. The two-year-old pet ran away from her new owner, Christopher Angeletti, just 45 minutes after he brought her to his West Vancouver home
July 31. As many people on the North Shore do, Angeletti called 9-1-1 to report the dog missing. Dispatchers redirected him to the non-emergency line, then made up a notice about the lost dog and posted it in the call centre. A week later, a call came in from a man who had spotted the dog. The report made Cohan realize Niobe was still missing, prompting her to start her own search. She put up posters and consulted a dog behaviourist about the best way to approach the frightened animal. Whenever a tip came in, she or her boyfriend, Darcy Wyness, would go out to scour the area. Cohan’s 16-year-old son also helped with the search. After sharing her story with the North Shore News last week, “people started phoning
like crazy, helping to look,” said Cohan. “It was phenomenal, the amount of help that people had,” she said. On Sunday, the effort paid off. She was at work when she got a call from the West Vancouver SPCA. A resident had seen the dog. “He was riding his bike in the area where we had been looking, on the Upper Levels Highway,” said Cohan. “He looked down and he heard a whimper and saw her lying there.” Cohan quickly dispatched Wyness to the area, who also spotted the canine but wasn’t able to coax her out of hiding. Cohan headed up to join him on
a break, and she was just about to return to work when: “All of a sudden, I see her. I could hear her in the bush. I made eye contact with her and . . . started (trying to) coax her out.” But the dog wasn’t budging. That’s when the cops showed up. “I hear a car pulling up behind me, and it’s the West Van See Dispatcher page 11 WEST Vancouver Const. James Harding hauls Niobe the Doberman out of the bushes where she had been hiding after being lost for three weeks.

He could see me lying on the highway, trying to get her.” It was all over when Const. James Harding, a dog handler for the WVPD, appeared on the scene. “He just went in, head-first, and got her,” said Cohan. “She made a half-assed attempt to bite him, but it wasn’t happening. He pulled her out and she went limp in his arms.” Niobe was taken to the vet where she was treated for a badly fractured pelvis, inflamed stitches and dehydration. She is now resting at the West Vancouver SPCA shelter where she is being nursed back to health. Angeletti and his family have agreed to give Niobe to Cohan. She is planning to introduce the Doberman to her two Pomeranian Maltipoos, Bear and Cubby, as soon as Niobe is healthy.

RUDBECKIA species like this black-eyed Susan will continue to bloom into fall if deadheaded regularly.
Perennials put on a show HOME IDEAS Barb Lunter shows how to multiply vacation memories with cubed photos page 16
AS we sizzle into midsummer, the heat and all that flowering can make many perennials in the garden look a little tired and ragged.
For some plants, the end of flowering does not mean the interest is over. It means soon there will be showy seed heads to enjoy. Dig Deep For other plants it’s simply Todd Major the end of their flowering cycle and they need some time to recharge their food reserves before winter arrives. Knowing which plants to deadhead to promote more flowering and which plants not to deadhead comes with experience and some trial and error. However, there is one August ritual for perennial plants that experienced gardeners know well — weed, water, mulch and deadhead. Perennial plants are some of the most diverse and beautiful plants on Earth.
For summer, blooming perennials such as bee balm (Monarda didyma), most day lilies (Hemerocallis species), garden phlox (Phlox paniculata) and hostas that have one bloom cycle and no reliable secondary bloom, it’s all over in one huge blast of colour. For one-time blooming perennials it’s important to decide if the seed heads are interesting enough to leave on the plant for a fall showing or to remove the seed heads for presentation reasons. For day lilies it’s best to remove deadhead to prevent re-seeding. Hostas do not have an interesting seed head so cut their flowering stalks down to the ground. Garden phlox also blooms just once so deadhead by cutting their flowers off just below the flower head to a point on the main stem. For bee balm, the globular seed heads are interesting enough to leave standing well into winter, but retention is a matter of taste. Some perennials should be deadheaded simply to prevent self seeding. Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla mollis) is one such example. Always deadhead this pretty little beast before it overruns the garden. Contrary to myth, leaving seed heads on a plant after flowering ends does not unnecessarily sap energy from the plant. Flowering plants have evolved to produce flowers and seeds as a matter of their seasonal growth habit. Deadheading is primarily done for presentation reasons. While it is true that deadheading will relieve the plant’s need to produce energy for seed, producing seed does See Deadheading page 14

Deadheading can produce second flush of flowers From page 13 not kill perennial plants. So the ultimate decision to deadhead comes down to the choice of leaving seed heads on if they are interesting or removing the seed heads if they are not interesting. For some summer blooming perennials like hardy geraniums (Geranium species) and spiderworts (Tradescantia species), deadheading, or in this case wholesale shearing of those plants, will produce a new crop of clean lush foliage and in many cases a second flush of flowers. However by August, it may be too late to shear hardy geraniums and spiderworts. Simply cut off the entire

flower stalk back to ground level and remove some of the tattered foliage, which cleans up the presentation and allows the plant to produce new clean foliage. There are many summer blooming perennials that will continue to produce flowers if they are regularly deadheaded. Masterwort (Astrantia major), agastache (Hyssop species), cape fuchsia (Phygelius species), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia species) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium) will continue to bloom if deadheaded regularly. Knowing where to cut when deadheading is considered an art form by some people. There is no one rule for deadheading that fits all plants. There are simply generalities that can be used to deadhead most perennials. Before deadheading any given perennial, decide if the plant’s seed heads are interesting enough to retain for fall and winter display. If they are interesting, do not deadhead and leave the seed heads to be enjoyed in fall and winter.
Create Your Own Dream Home!
If deadheading is needed, use the following general guidelines for deadheading. If the plant produces a single flowering stalk with no secondary branches like a hosta does, then cut the whole flowering stem to the ground. If the plant produces a primary flowering stem and produces secondary stems off the primary stem, like coneflower, blackeyed Susan and yarrow, then cut off the terminal flower to a point lower down on the stem to allow secondary flowers to bloom. Along with deadheading, always consider applying mulch and doing some weeding as part of the August perennial maintenance ritual. Mulching summer
perennials in August with a nutrient-rich mulch like compost or manure (versus bark mulch) will give perennials a nutrition boost, ease drought stress and improve fall presentation. At the same time, perennials will use the food in the mulch to set buds on their crowns for next year’s growth. Once you have deadheaded, mulched and weeded your perennials, thoroughly water them to promote good health and preserve good presentation into fall.

Photo cubes are unique family keepsake Puzzle display showcases six images
DID you have some wonderful photographs from your summer vacation? Why not use them in this cute idea as a gift or perhaps for your own desk at home. Small wooden cubes can be found in most craft stores such as Michaels. I found the two-inch ones worked best for this idea. Mod Podge is a waterbased sealer, glue and finish and it is available in a matte or gloss finish. I like to use it as multi-purpose glue with a small brush for projects such as this. Materials: 6 (2x2 inch) plain wooden cubes Mod Podge (glossy or matte) Small paint brush 6 (4 x 6 photographs) Box cutter This idea is very simple. All you need to do is plan ahead a day or so to let the various coats of Mod Podge dry in between applying your photographs. Begin by laying your wooden cubes down on a clean, dry work surface. Place them in a 4 x 6 pattern so that all the edges are touching. Apply your first
Home Ideas
Barb Lunter coat of Mod Podge on the upright surface of each cube. Carefully lay your photograph on top and let dry. Apply a second coat of Modge Podge as a sealer. Let dry. Repeat these steps on all six sides of the cubes. Using your box cutter, carefully separate the cubes into six pieces. In the end you will have a puzzle on each side to put together for each photograph. Alternatively, you can also measure out each twoinch cube on the backside of the photograph and cut each one out with a pair of scissors. Then you are able to apply the 2x2 portion of the photograph separately to each cube. The same result appears. A nice way to present this idea is to place the cubes in a clear, cellophane bag with one photograph facing upwards. Tie off with a pretty ribbon. barb@lunter.ca

Learn to use extinguisher Nicholas M. Pescod Contributing writer
THE three North Shore fire departments are stressing the importance of being able to properly operate a portable fire extinguisher. In a press release the departments recommend using a portable extinguisher only when the fire is in a small area such as a wastebasket. For those who don’t know how to operate a fire extinguisher there is one simple word to remember, “PASS.”

Magic realism adds to fun
¢ 13 Gifts by Wendy Mass, New York, Scholastic, $18.99
Fran Ashdown Contributing writer
DUE to a fairly serious lapse in judgment, 12year-old Tara Brennan finds herself staying with relatives she doesn’t know well instead of accompanying her parents on their summer trip to Madagascar to study lemurs.
In this funny novel about dealing with the consequences
book buzz
of one’s actions, a little magic realism creeps in to add to the fun. Tara, who is soon turning 13, has felt like an outsider all
her life and decides to make a serious attempt to fit in by agreeing to steal the school principal’s beloved stuffed goat mascot for two of her classmates. The reward is permission to sit at lunch with the girls for the last couple of weeks of school and feel part of a group. Needless to say, her midnight peregrinations go sadly awry and her disappointed parents decide that a visit to Tara’s relatives will do much to mitigate the influence of her classmates. Tara is horrified at the prospect of spending a summer with younger cousin Emily whose claim to fame was eating an entire glue stick at their

last meeting. Things go from bad to worse when Tara’s backpack is ransacked during the train ride to Willow Falls and the $200 her parents gave her for the summer goes missing. Ever resourceful, Tara purloins a vintage comic from her uncle’s amazing collection and takes it to a store run by a very strange woman who recognizes the stolen comic and makes a deal with her. From here on the story reflects Emily’s claim that there is something very special about Willow Falls. The deal Angelina, owner See Novel page 24

Avoid giving children mixed messages OUR children need to know we love them.
Unconditional love is the cornerstone of a strong parentchild relationship. That means that we love her as she is, in this exact moment. We love her when we have dressed her in her lovely new dress to wear to her aunt’s wedding and she went outside and jumped in a mud puddle. We love her when she stamps her little foot and says, “No!” We also love her when she crawls up on our lap and snuggles in for a hug. She knows that whether we are happy with her behavior or not, we love her. This love gives kids the security of knowing they have a place in our world and they are safe. Trust is also important. Without trust, our kids will never feel safe and secure. Of course, our kids can trust us. We will always be there for them and always love them. But sometimes we miss

the boat. One common word we use is soon. “When will we be there?” our child asks, and we say,”soon.” Now, we are currently in Chilliwack on the way to Calgary. Or we’re on the phone and say we will be off soon but. . . . It’s so easy to just say something to get them to quit bugging us that we don’t really consider what we’re saying. But if we’re honest, we will have kids who take us at our word. We need to let our kids know when we are leaving them and when we will return. It is so often tempting to just sneak away. We may put our toddler to bed and not let him know that there will be a babysitter coming after he’s asleep. That works well if the child stays asleep but if

he awakens he will be totally disoriented when someone other than you comes to his bed. And next time he will simply not believe you when you say you are just running out to the store and will be right back. Prepare your child for any new or challenging experience. If you are going to the health unit for a booster, be honest. Community Health Nurses tell me about kids who are brought in for an inoculation and their parent has not only not prepared them, she has lied and said they would not be getting a shot. Now the nurse has to deal with this situation. The first reaction our child may have is that if we had to lie about it, it must be horrible. And they are terrified. Tell the truth. Describe what will happen and why. Let them know that it may prick or sting or be itchy for a few days. And then tell them that you know they can handle it. And they will. But what if they cry? Well, crying is handling it. It is a perfectly healthy way to deal with pain or discomfort. So let them cry and support them while you note that sometimes crying is the best way to cope. We need to avoid giving our
kids mixed messages. Brandon comes into the kitchen and sees his Mom mopping the floor. She is literally flinging the mop from side to side and muttering under her breath. He looks at her and says, “What’s wrong mom?” If her response is, “Nothing is wrong,” he will be confused and uncertain. Clearly she is upset and he starts to wonder what he did to make her so angry. But he can’t pursue it because although her body language makes it clear that she’s furious, he needs to respond to her words. A much better response would be something like, “Oh, I had a problem with the neighbour and I’m upset. It’s a grown-up thing. I’ll be okay in a few moments.” Now her words and actions are consistent and Brandon can relax and know that he can trust what he is seeing and hearing. A child who lives in a home with trust and love feels secure and safe, and he will thrive.

Novel has award potential
From page 18 of the collectibles shop, offers Tara involves somehow acquiring 13 objects by honest means. In the process of getting the objects Tara does a lot of growing up, discovers that there are no coincidences in Willow Falls and uncovers the secret reason her parents have moved so often. Angelina is much more than she seems and her mysterious powers effect change in the town and heal her mother’s private sorrow once and for all ensuring that Tara’s 13th birthday is a splendid occasion. The plot’s twists and turns make this an exciting read and the characterization is excellent.

OH Butter Chicken. There are some who spurn you. Food snobs say you’re common; that every Indian restaurant, shopping mall food court outlet and downtown food truck is ladling you over rice. Nutritionists and health nuts give you the cold shoulder because you’re made with ghee (clarified butter) and cream. None of that matters to me — I love you, in all your thick, creamy deliciousness. Mind you, not all Butter Chicken is created equal. Early this year, I was sad to hear that Mumbai Masala, on West 16 St. off Lonsdale, had closed. I was a longtime fan of the food (though the service could be spotty). Bright tasting chutnies always arrived with papadum to start the meal; sauces tasted of fresh-crushed spices; naan bread was puffy and charred from the tandoor oven; and the Butter Chicken soared with the perfect ratio of crushed tomatoes and mild, house-blended heat draped over juicy chicken. You can imagine my delight when I discovered the restaurant had reopened in Park & Tilford Shops, in the location recently vacated by Casual Gourmet Bistro. The parking had become difficult near Lonsdale, explained our server last week when I asked about the move. Tucked away as it was, the old location wasn’t easy for first-timers to find, and with more residential towers being added to the neighbourhood, finding a spot for your wheels — especially if you’re only running in to pick up your take-out — was getting near impossible. The new location is smaller, more contained and easier for the family-owners to manage as well. Happily, I found little else has changed. We still got our papadum and chutneys, and the menu still sports popular favourites like flaky, fried samosas and pakoras, Papri Chaat — potatoes and garbanzo beans on crispy wafers; and mogo, spicy cassava chips tossed with garlic and spices.

MUMBAI Masala continues to serve a wide variety of classic dishes at lunch and dinner in its new location at Park & Tilford Shops. Mains include dishes cooked in the tandoor oven, like Lamb Tikka and Tandoori Fish; a long list of vegetarian items; or traditional sauces made with your choice of meat: chicken, beef or lamb. Our offspring, ages 9 and 6, were delighted with mango Lassi to drink ( the Mumbai Mix ($10.95) we had to start: a platter of chicken, fish, and paneer pakora that was easily shared. We ordered our Butter Chicken ($10.95) mild, and found the sauce still to be a heady mix of light cream and tomato with fenugreek, still simmering. We scooped it up with pulao rice and naan still hot from the oven. Lamb Rogan Josh ($13.95) was just
as good; a little more fiery thanks to the red chilies it’s made with. We sampled Paneer Tikka ($14.95) for the first time: homemade cheese marinated in tangy spices and baked slowly in the tandoor. The cheese is mild, but the sautéed peppers and onions, served alongside, add texture and flavour. Though it was only a few dishes, we soon found ourselves well-sated, and had enough to take some home. The bill for the four of us, which also included one beer, added up to $70, including HST. Mumbai Masala is at 770-333 Brooksbank Ave., North Vancouver. Call 604-984-888, or visit mumbaimasala.ca for take-out.

Add the coconut milk and stir until well

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop a heaping teaspoon of the batter onto the lined sheet, then spread with the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula to make a circle about three inches in
diameter. Repeat, making circles approximately two inches apart (don’t crowd the circles or they will all run together). Bake for four minutes, then rotate cookie sheet and bake for another four to five minutes or until edges are golden. If cookies are browning too fast reduce heat to 325 degrees and increase baking time if necessary. Cool cookies on baking sheet on a wire rack for about
five minutes, then with a small spatula transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Wipe the parchment paper clean and let baking sheet cool before baking another batch (or use two sheets and switch them out for each batch). Makes about 72; cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight tin between layers of parchment or waxed paper for up to three days.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY
photo Mike Traslin
ANDY Traslin makes an icy ascent in the Mount Seymour area. The avid mountain biker and skier keeps track of his constant backcountry quests via an altimeter watch and in the last three years has logged three million feet of climbing.

Great heights
NV adventurer logs three million feet of climbing in three years Jen St. Denis jstdenis@nsnews.com
ONE North Vancouver mountain biker and skier has totted up just how much he’s climbed over three years — and the total comes to a whopping three million feet. Andy Traslin, a competitive mountain biker who grew up in North Vancouver and now lives at the base of Mount Seymour, uses his altimeter watch to track the ups and downs of each excursion. He started keeping a record of the number of vertical feet after reading about mountain biker Mark Weir and backcountry skier Ruedi Beglinger, who each climbed one million feet in a calendar year in their respective sports. “I did it one year, then I thought, oh I’ll start the watch again,” said Traslin. “I just started getting obsessed.” An altimeter watch works by measuring the change in air pressure. The altimeter keeps track of the vertical fleet climbed and descended. Most models
also include a compass and thermometer, making them a handy tool for outdoor sports enthusiasts. In the summer, Traslin mountain bikes almost every day. In the fall and winter, his focus turns to backcountry skiing. His day job as a first aid attendant allows him the flexibility to bike or ski almost 365 days a year. “In the winter, starting in the fall I’m pretty much gone five to seven days a week, and similar in the summer,” said Traslin. He often goes out with his brother Mike, who sometimes pokes fun at his altimeter obsession. “In one way he thinks it’s kind of funny, because you can get a little bit obsessed,” said Traslin. “You’re like, okay I’ve gotta go here, every day after day after day. Sometimes he gives me a hard time.” While his friends and his brother sometimes give Traslin a hard time for “being on the schedule . . . they respect it too, because I have a goal.” The altimeter has given Traslin a clear idea of just how much he can do in one day. His average day trip is 3,000-5,000 feet of climbing, and he admits that sometimes he’ll go just a little farther to rack up a few more feet. Most of the feet were accumulated on excursions into the Coast Mountains and the Cascades, and Traslin said the tracking tool has given him the motivation to push a little harder and to explore a little farther into the B.C. backcountry. Some of his favourite trips have been into the Spearhead Range between Blackcomb and Whistler, and Mount Baker, Wash., where it’s possible to ski all year round.

SEDLAK, Anthony Lawrence Apr 15, 1983 - Jul 04, 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death of our beloved Tony. He is survived by his parents Rudy and Louise, brother Rudy (Tara), sister Dana (Grant), nieces Erin and Maya, extended family and friends and fans. Born in Prince George, he was raised in North Vancouver. While in high school (Handsworth/ Carson Graham) he worked in the restaurants at Grouse Mountain where he first became passionate about food. In 2004, he spent a year in London, England working at La Trompette Restaurant. Returning to Canada, he competed in and won the Food Network’s Super Star Chef Challenge. This earned him his own TV show "The Main" which ran for four seasons and launched his culinary career. Most recently, he was a judge on the "Family Cookoff" TV series. During this time, he worked at the American Cheesesteak Co. Restaurant as Culinary Director while consulting and doing live culinary events in Toronto. Tony was a kind, sensitive, and intelligent young man with a zest for life. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. A private Celebration of Life will be held later this month. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the North Vancouver High School Education Foundation (www.nvhsef.com) for the creation of a scholarship in his name. "You are here. You are awesome."

LUPTON, Dorothy Jean (Barber) Feb 15,1919 - Aug 14,2012 Twenty one years is a long time to wait for a family reunion. On August 14th, Dorothy Jean left us for a heavenly family reunion. We can only image how joyous an occasion it was! Mum found strength in family and friends after the loss of her brother Jack, sister Lorna, husband Dick, children Dawne and Doug. Hers was a silent grief, faced with courage, faith and acceptance. Moving to the North Shore brought Grama nearer to her grandchildren and dearer to Heather and Ron. Left with childhood memories of afternoon tea and Sunday meals, Jenna, Adam and Rachelle recall china cups, sugar cubes and biscuits; after dinner card games and always a family dog to lick the dessert plates clean. Heather treasures the heart-to-hearts and remember-when’s that Mum loved to share. The colourful family stories will be told and retold for generations as the Barber/ Lupton legacies. Thrilled to sit quietly with a dog in her lap as the family flowed around her, Mum had as much of an appetite for Ron’s culinary talents as she did for family. What she could not hear, she could feel. Aunt Dorothy to Claudia Spencer and family, Mum had special heartstrings for the "Perry boys" - Ian, Greg and Keith as well as Dorothy Donaldson and her "children" Mauri and Chris. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. We invite you to join us and celebrate 93 1/2 years of living and remembering with family and friends on Tuesday, August 28th, 1:00pm at Hart House Restaurant, 6664 Deer Lake Avenue in Burnaby.

We mourn the loss but celebrate the life of Beverley Barbara Gowe (nee Tarr) who died peacefully on August 15, 2012 following a 21-year battle with ovarian cancer. Bev/Mom/Gran was a woman of family and faith. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by her husband, soulmate and best friend, David and her three sons and their families: Geoff, Addy, Daryn & Kennedy; Chris, Christine, Sarah & Ryan, and; Greg, Adrienne, Micah & Maleah. We are so grateful that Mom’s determination to live in recent months allowed her to enjoy a final family vacation (Mexico, March), reach her 75th birthday (May 14), meet her new granddaughter, Maleah (born July 16), and celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary (August 4). Mom’s passing is also mourned by her brother David Tarr (Gisele), her sister-in-law and brothers-in-law, Lorna & David Staley, Ted Gowe and Norris Wood, and her many nieces, nephews, cousins and their families. Mom was predeceased by her parents, Barbara & Robert Tarr, and her sister Valerie Wood. Mom’s Christian faith was the other pillar of her life and her Christian education work at West Van Baptist Church (including Walk to Bethlehem and Vacation Bible School), and also at Ebenezer Baptist and with the International Center for Learning/Gospel Light, defined her working life and contribution to the community. These organizations were also the focal point of her social life and she made many friends through her involvement with them. From the time Mom was first diagnosed with cancer in 1991, she received exceptional medical care, primarily at Lion’s Gate Hospital, and most notably from Dr. Paul Klimo, Dr. Hayley Broker & Dr. Paul Sugar. The family is very appreciative of their commitment to treating and caring for Mom. As a family, we are grateful to, and would like to thank, all of those from the church, Bible study group, Ovarian Cancer Support Group and Mom’s other social circles who dropped by to visit over the last year, who assisted in her care over the last few months, who came to the Hospice to say goodbye in the last few days and who have sent emails, phoned or otherwise reached out to Mom and our family. Your kind wishes and love meant a lot to Mom and means a lot to us. Mom – you were Dad’s special “girl”, your sons’ unwavering Mama Bear and your grand-kids’ beloved Gran. Our hearts hurt but we know it was now time for you to go. We will miss you and will forever love you. A memorial service will be at 2pm on September 8th at West Van Baptist Church. In lieu of flowers, Mom wished that donations be made to Barnabas Family Ministries or Lions Gate Hospital.

Home Alone? Part II
Contrary to popular belief there is no legal age at which a child may be left alone. Last week’s column featured a questionnaire regarding your child’s readiness to stay on his own. More tips: • Talk about it in advance. • A babysitting course is good preparation even if your child isn’t planning on babysitting yet. • Start gradually, a half hour after school working up to two or three hours. • Make sure your child has another adult to call if you are not available. • Leave a flashlight and first aid supplies within easy reach. • Role-play a variety of “what if” scenarios. • Keep important numbers next to the phone. • Establish what constitutes an emergency and appropriate use of 911. • Debrief their experience when you get home. • Be in touch while you are out. • Develop a schedule of activities. • Childproof your home – parental controls on the computer and TV and make sure drugs, alcohol and other dangerous items are secured • Next week – the ground rules.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken 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! SUDOKU ANSWERS ON SEPARATE PAGE
