Bear charges North Van woman, dog

Enraged animal protecting cubs tries to force entry into Canyon Heights home James Weldon

jweldon@nsnews.com

SEVEN days after the fact, Michele Foster still recalls in vivid detail the terrifying moments in which a frenzied black bear tried to tear its way into her North Vancouver home. “I was forced to close the door on the bear’s paw,” said Foster, talking to the North Shore News Tuesday. “Then she got on her hind legs. . . . She was frothing at mouth so badly she was blowing bubbles.” A few minutes before the June 7 incident, Foster had been making lunch near the open back door of her house in Canyon Heights, when her attention was drawn to the backyard by the sound of barking. She looked up to see her four-year-old Labrador, Boo, bound into view at the top of her terraced garden pursued by an adult black bear. “It looked at me,” said Foster. “It didn’t take its eyes off me.” The wild animal leapt down a six-foot wall, cutting ahead of the Lab, and charged the open patio door where Foster was standing. She slammed it shut, just as it reached her. The bear then took off after Boo, chasing the dog around See Conservation page 3

Cutbacks to sheriffs affect N. Van home invasion trial

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge shut down a North Vancouver home invasion trial on Wednesday last week over concerns about security because there was no sheriff available to keep tabs on the courtroom.

Madam Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey refused to continue the trial she is presiding over in B.C. Supreme Court June 8, after learning no sheriff was available that day due to government cutbacks. The lack of a sheriff meant the trial — being held in B.C. Supreme Court’s high-security courtroom — was shut down for the day, and police ofﬁcers who had expected to testify had to return to court the following day. Six courtrooms in Vancouver’s Main Street provincial court were also shut last week on two different days because there weren’t enough sheriffs. The North Vancouver case highlights problems that lawyers and judges are juggling since funding for sheriffs was recently cut by the provincial government. See Judge page 5

Medical pot shop fails to open

RCMP, bylaw ofﬁcers warn of consequences

Last WV jewelry robber sentenced Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

THE opening of a medical marijuana dispensary in Deep Cove was blocked Saturday morning by RCMP officers and District of North Vancouver officials. Re-Leaf Dispensary Society planned to open its doors in a business space on the corner of Deep Cove Road and Mount Seymour Parkway, but the society’s management changed their minds after visits from the police and district staff. “Ouruniformedofficerswent to the location in Deep Cove and advised them of the legal consequences if they attempted to open up a dispensary to sell marijuana,” said Cpl. Richard DeJong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. “Health Canada does not NEWS photos Paul McGrath license organizations to possess, produce or distribute marijuana RCMP officers confer with Carol Walker, manager of bylaw enforcement for the District of North Vancouver, for medical purposes. So they during what was intended to be the opening of the Re-Leaf Dispensary Society in Deep Cove on Saturday. would have been breaking the law and would have been arrested under the (Controlled Drugs and Substances) Act for trafficking,” he said. DeJong said that while no legal search took place, the officers were satisfied that there was no marijuana on the premises. David Stuart, the district’s chief administrative officer, arrived with bylaw officers waiting in the wings. Stuart said the dispensary society had not obtained a business licence, did not get their interior renovations reviewed by a building inspector, and may also be violating the zoning of their building. “With respect to issues such as zoning and business licence, if we were unable to resolve these and they opened, we would likely apply to the courts for an injunction and the courts would rule as to which party is correct,” Stuart said. “With respect to the building issue, our paramount concern is public safety. We can’t have the public entering a building — and that’s their intention — where work has been done that does not conform to the law. If they open today, the building inspector will close it and issue a sign saying the building is not to be occupied until the appropriate dialogue occurs.” Although the dispensary doors remained locked, a DANA Larsen (right), director of the Vancouver Medicinal Cannabis Dispensary, debates his small crowd of local residents, district councillors and support of the proposed medicinal marijuana outlet with a local resident. marijuana activists gathered out front and began a According to the RCMP, medical marijuana can marijuana in the community — it’s already here.

A Port Moody man, one of three armed robbers who held up a West Vancouver jewelry store at gunpoint last year, will serve more than four years in jail after pleading guilty to armed robbery in North Vancouver provincial court.

Judge Joanne Challenger sentenced Ryan William David Blore, 27, to four years and three months in prison for the heist, after giving him double credit for the 16 months he’s already spent in jail. Blore was one of three men who stormed into Absolute Star Design on Marine Drive on Jan. 19 last year. One of the men, Jeremy Winger, produced a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, pointed it at owner Gino Giragosian and ordered him to the floor. The trio smashed the store’s display cases, stuffed roughly $300,000 worth of jewelry into their bags and then ran back to their getaway car, parked nearby in the busy Dundarave shopping district. As Giragosian chased the robbers into the street, Winger turned and fired two shots. Undaunted, Giragosian was still trying to smash the window of the trio’s car as they sped away. A motorist followed the getaway car, managed to get a partial licence plate number, and watched as the three men swapped vehicles some distance away. Still trailing them, the witness watched as they drove north and onto Highway 1. But West Vancouver police had already set up a roadblock on the highway. Seeing this, the robbers ditched their second car, scrambled over a fence and attempted to flee on foot through a residential neighbourhood. Police began to search the area, and quickly found the three hiding under a deck. Blore is the last of the trio to be sentenced for his role in the robbery. Winger was handed a six-year jail sentence last year. Joshua Bennet ChaifGust, of New Westminster, was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison in February.

the house. When the two reappeared, Foster tried to drag her dog inside, but was unable to before the bear caught up. She slammed the door shut again and watched in horror as the animal began mauling her pet. “It was six inches from me; it was right there,” she said. Boo managed to wriggle free and ﬂee. Both animals again disappeared from view. Fearing the dog might be killed, Foster moved to another door and began calling Boo’s name. This time, the bear returned alone. It reared up and began clawing at the

door, rubbing its open mouth against the glass. When it couldn’t pry it open, the animal began trying to get in through a kitchen window, said Foster. “I could not believe this was happening,” she said. “It was so surreal.” The behaviour was explained a few minutes later, when a pair of cubs wandered into view from the neighbouring yard, said Foster. When the bears eventually left the property, a worried Foster set off in search of the missing pooch. She ﬁnally tracked Boo down at a neighbour’s home a kilometre and a half away. The dog’s hindquarters had been mauled and its back scratched, but it

was alive and has since been recovering well. The incident left Foster badly rattled. She has reported it to the media, she said, in an effort to raise awareness of the dangers posed by garbage and other attractants outside North Shore homes. Christine Miller, community co-ordinator for B.C.’s Bear Aware program, said the bear’s behaviour was not unusual in a sow whose cubs were being threatened by a dog. The British Columbia Conservation Ofﬁcer Service is aware of the event, she said, and has been tracking the animals closely. There are no plans at this point to destroy them, however.

Home invasion ‘confession’ in question

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A 25-year-old man on trial for his role in a North Vancouver home invasion told police he didn’t want to take part but was pressured by a gangster. Duck Joong Yoon, of Burnaby, told police the gangster who planned the home invasion knew the layout of the victim’s house, provided weapons — including a handgun and Taser — and told the four men involved they would ﬁnd cash in every room. Yoon told Sgt. Greg Mainman of the North Vancouver RCMP’s serious crime unit that he was to get a ﬁve per cent cut of whatever they took. But they never found any money, Yoon said. Yoon said he kept a lookout outside during the home invasion

and warned the other robbers when police were approaching. “I didn’t go in the house,” he said. Yoon told Mainman when he was first approached by the gangster he told the man to find somebody else for the job. But the gangster kept phoning him, he said, until he finally agreed. Yoon’s videotaped confession to police was played Monday in B.C. Supreme Court for Madam Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey, who is hearing the home invasion case without a jury. Yoon faces nine charges in connection with the home invasion on Dec. 9, 2008. He has pled not guilty. A co-accused in the case, Gong Oui Choi, 24, of Burnaby, has pled guilty to several charges while two other men charged are believed to have skipped the country. Crown counsel Kristin Bryson has alleged three masked men smashed their way into the home, tied up the couple living there

and demanded that they hand over cash. Police stopped a getaway car driven by Yoon as it raced away from the scene. In it they found a handgun, a Taser, hammer and masks. The ﬁrst part of the trial is being held in a voir dire — held to determine if Arnold-Bailey can consider certain evidence. Defence counsel Richard Fowler is arguing that both the items seized from the getaway car and Yoon’s statement to police should be ruled inadmissible. Yoon made his confession to Mainman at the end of an approximately three-hour police interview in which he repeatedly said he didn’t want to say anything and had the right to remain silent. Mainman told Yoon he understood that, but continued to ask questions, telling him that as an adult, “eventually you have to account for what you did.” The trial continues.

Judge says security cuts ‘unworkable’ From page 1

The result is a loss of about 34 full-time staff among the approximately 420 sheriffs who work in the courts. That’s on top of about 100 sheriff positions that have been cut through attrition during several years of a government hiring freeze. Since the cuts came into effect,lawyersusuallyonlyreceive notice of whether they will have enough sheriffs just before trials are scheduled to start. Lawyers then have to decide which cases are serious enough that sheriffs are absolutely necessary in the courtroom and which will have to make do with “roving” sheriffs who pop in when they can. But judges can also refuse to hear cases without a sheriff — as happened in the North Vancouver trial of Duck Yoon

last Wednesday. Arnold-Bailey described the system of asking lawyers and judges to make security decisions as “unworkable” and “completely misguided.” She added that in her more than 20 years as a judge she couldn’t remember a time when sheriffs weren’t present in court when criminal trials were being heard. Judges aren’t the only ones who are unhappy with the situation. The Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia called the lack of sheriffs a “dreadful situation” that will erode the entire justice system if courtrooms sit empty and trials have to be delayed. Because of the existing backlog in the courts, when a trial is shut down for the day, it can be up to a year before it can be rescheduled.

Dean Purdy, spokesman for the union representing sheriffs, said the cutbacks have created a potentially dangerous situation in the courts. With the exception of the Main Street court and cases involving high-proﬁle gang violence, most courtrooms do not have metal detectors or screening procedures and are open to anyone in the public. “The government is essentially playing roulette with safety,” said Purdy. “One of these days it’s going to cost them dearly.” Purdy said it’s not unusual for sheriffs to have to act within seconds to prevent volatile situations from escalating. Purdy said the sheriffs union sent a letter to the attorney general’s ofﬁce in April asking for a meeting. “We have not heard back from them at this

KNOCK DAD’S SOCKS OFF!

point,” he said. Attorney General Barry Penner said he was concerned about the court closures but added the cutbacks are a result of continuing “ﬁscal challenges” faced by the province. “We’re doing the best we can while also trying to balance our budget,” he said.

Bear necessities O

UR front page story recounts a dramatic encounter between a North Vancouver woman and a black bear. A dog and two bear cubs may have been contributing factors to the terrifying confrontation, but the incident should serve to remind all North Shore residents that black bears have the potential to be dangerous if provoked. We live in traditional bear territory and, despite urbanization, there are still many natural wildlife corridors that bring bears down off the mountains and into our communities. Problems proliferate, however, when bears discover easier food sources in local backyards than are available back up on the mountains. Tony Webb, a longtime North Shore bear activist, describes a black bear as “a nose on

four legs.” A bear can smell ripe fruit or rotting garbage from kilometres away. Having found a food source, a bear will return to it unless scared away. When bears become habituated to garbage, sooner or later a confrontation occurs with humans, and once tagged as a “problem” bear the animal is living on borrowed time. Trapping and relocation is rarely a viable option since bears are territorial, and the relocated animals are often driven off or even killed by resident adult bears. As the dominant species hereabouts, it behooves us to do what we can to protect the weak. Municipal garbage law changes in recent years were enacted for a reason. Please don’t ignore them. They are intended to save lives.

Pot shop response archaic

Dear Editor: I am writing in regards to the roadblocks being faced by the founders of the Re-Leaf Dispensary Society in their efforts to establish a medical marijuana dispensary in Deep Cove, where I have resided since 1992. I woke up paralyzed on Feb. 1, 2006, the result of an abscess formed by a staph infection that, without warning, punched my spine out of place. I am now a paraplegic living with chronic, excruciating pain, particularly in what is called the “pelvic girdle,” meaning the area immediately surrounding the genitalia — not at all a fun place to have pain, especially if your only way of voiding urine is to use a catheter six times a day. For the past ﬁve years, I have been subjected to legal pain prescriptions from physicians, virtually all of which have been useless and have led to horrendous side effects: loss of muscle strength, lumps on my body, acute depression, suicidal thoughts and preparations. The pain-control medications and programs I have been placed on are a joke, starting with the unbelievable pairing of Tylenol 3 and Ativan, the former of which could have harmed my liver, the latter of which left me with an addiction. They did nothing to alleviate my pain. I have been repeatedly denied medical marijuana, which means I have to score it on the street to the tune of $240 an ounce. I use half-an-ounce a month. As a self-employed writer/author, I am only eligible for a small government disability, over which I am allowed to earn an additional $500 a month. Any money exceeding that — I make $600 a month writing a magazine column — must be returned to the provincial coffers, meaning I give back $100

of my earnings each month and am effectively legislated to impoverishment with no hope of earning a sustainable or upward income due to the hideous pain which makes it virtually impossible to do my job. This does little for my psychological or ﬁnancial well-being. Marijuana mitigates the intensity of chronic pain. Besides the obvious loss of so-called “quality of life,” pain saps the body of energy and motivation. We’re not talking about hangnails — this is a life-altering condition brought about by nerve pain, the perpetual and debilitating effects of which are due to the slow regeneration (one millimetre per month) of nerves. I am currently on Oxycodone, but have been moved by the St. Paul’s Hospital pain clinic to Oxycontin; i.e., hillbilly heroin. It’s extremely addictive and responsible for countless overdose fatalities, including some notably high-proﬁle deaths among celebrities and athletes. Those who oppose the use of medical marijuana do so based on ignorance, not experience. The attempt by municipal governments to stomp out compassion clubs is in part a response to a voting constituency steeped in the lore of archaic stigmas, and in part to the non-taxation of the substance. When municipal and provincial governments are dumping millions of dollars into outdoor Canucks parties and asinine self-promotional endeavours such as the Olympics, it is simply criminal and unconscionable that the health-care system is in the wretched state it is. There is a need and a place for medical marijuana. Wake up. It’s 2011. Your petty objections only add to the current cultural climate of dumbness and apathy. Greg Potter North Vancouver

A water tap for hikers at foot of Grouse makes sense Dear Editor: On Sunday afternoon, I went for a hike along the Baden Powell trail east from Grouse Mountain to photograph the water in Mackay Creek, especially the waterfalls. The large amount of snow from this past winter makes this a great year for waterfall photos. Before I left Grouse Mountain I wanted to fill my water bottle. To my dismay, I could not find a water fountain at the base of the Skyride. I went to Grouse Mountain Resorts’ office and the staff said there was in fact no public water fountain, and they advised me to go to the Starbucks in the plaza to get free water. I did this; Starbucks staff said they line up the free water cups before it gets busy in the morning because they know there will be a demand for water from people like me. In the past there was also the option of getting water in the washrooms, but no longer, as GMR now has only hot water taps. GMR does offer bottled water in the vending machines in the plaza. And yes there will always be some people who refuse to drink tap water. But even if GMR is not legally required to provide tap water to the public, most people (and pets) would be grateful for it, especially as GMR provided it in past years. On my hike I noticed many large blue Dasani water bottles discarded along the trail, and even in the creeks. May just be a coincidence that this is the same brand and size bottle in the machines. The lack of a water fountain is not only an inconvenience for the public, it also creates a demand for disposable plastic water containers from the vending machines and Starbucks. And why should Starbucks be required to provide a substantial free service to the public? A public water fountain should be a necessity. Robert Batt Vancouver

SkyTrain justiﬁcations are way off track “Many transportation planners argue for transit services optimized to serve the long highspeed commute trip at the expense of local service. In the Vancouver region this position has held sway, with billions of dollars borrowed to expand the SkyTrain system and billions more on the table for future expansions.” Introduction to Foundational Research Bulletin No. 7, 2009

UBC authors Prof. Patrick M. Condon and Kari Dow were right in 2009 and their data is just as relevant today. If we were to pick any radius within the boundaries of Metro Vancouver and through the Fraser Valley to Chilliwack, none of our transit routes would exceed international standards for local service.

Elizabeth James Coun. Peter Frinton and other members of the Mayors’ Council are still being told by TransLink that SkyTrain carries more people faster than light rail? That simply is not true; the misinformation is being forcefed by TransLink to justify the provincial government’s determination to bankrupt the region with SkyTrain. As Condon and Dow show in their bulletin, the “maximum” and “typical”

passenger-carrying capacities of a 90-foot, single articulated light-rail car exceed those of Mark I and Mark II SkyTrain vehicles. As for speed: for more than 20 years now, light-rail advocate Malcolm Johnston has tried in vain to get TransLink to acknowledge that the functional speed from Points A to B is determined by three things: topography of the route (curves, inclines, etc.), the time-distance separation (headway) between trains, and the number of stops on the route. Measured on the same track, with the same number of stops, the running speeds of modern light-rail and tramtrains are actually faster than SkyTrain. Furthermore, the access and boarding speed of lightrail is faster than SkyTrain. The multi-billion-dollar problems that plague TransLink were created before it was born. They began when

Ottawa and Quebec-based Bombardier Inc. persuaded former NDP Premier Glen Clark to stop extolling the beneﬁts of light-rail and to use SkyTrain. In 1998, when Clark realized the Millennium Line project threatened to become another fast-ferries-style legacy on his books, he downloaded Lower Mainland transit onto the Greater Vancouver Regional District. A major turning point for the region, TransLink has held municipal taxpayers hostage ever since. Gordon Campbell himself outlined the crux of TransLink’s problem on October 13, 2000: “The only reason TransLink needs this extra revenue is because of the higher costs imposed on it by the NDP’s unilateral decision to go ahead with SkyTrain, without any consultation. By imposing SkyTrain, the NDP doubled the cost of rail transit

construction, for less service. And now local taxpayers are being forced to pay the price.” When Pat Jacobsen resigned as TransLink’s second CEO, she was succeeded by Tom Prendergast, who arrived from New Jersey with “over 30 years of experience in transportation operations.” Prendergast weathered only 15 months before deciding “to take the helm of North America’s largest subway and bus system, New York City Transit Authority,” to quote the TransLink media release. His parting shot was less diplomatic: “There’s really no impediment,” he said as he discussed transit along Broadway and south of the Fraser River. “It’s overcoming the cultural embracement of SkyTrain that has existed to date.” Ah, the folly of cultural embracements. Separations after 13 years of entanglement are notoriously expensive and

fraught with dissension. The most believable explanation for TransLink’s determination to ignore the ﬁscal red ﬂags and to perpetuate the SkyTrain extravagance was provided by Coun. Frinton. Addressing the possibility that a different technology could be chosen for future transit projects, Frinton wrote, “As to the type of Evergreen Line system, that battle was before my time. . . . There appear to be good arguments for an at-grade light-rail system . . . but because the province has been adamant the system they will fund is the SkyTrain option, at this point I think it best to just get on with it, unless (B.C. Transportation Minister Blair) Lekstrom takes a different view than his predecessors.” I intend no criticism of Coun. Frinton or his

Foundation to allocate $140K in local grants THE North Shore Community Foundation will be allocating more than $140,000 in grants to community programs located on the North Shore. The grant money will be dispersed across 10 different community programs that provide a wide range of services for children, youth and seniors. Programs receiving funding this year range from Athletics for Kids — an organization that provides funding for children who cannot afford to participate in amateur sports — to the Highlands United Church, which feeds up to 50 homeless people each Saturday. The foundation manages more than 20 trust funds that total close to $2 million. The volunteer-run organization, disperses grant money each year from the interest on its trust funds. Individuals may request the foundation to annually allocate money to a certain cause from a bequest, or to disperse a willed donation at its discretion.

mayors’ council colleagues when I say such passive acceptance of provincial interference is calculated to send me through the roof. When he appointed the TransLink board, Campbell and his ministers claimed it would take the politics out of regional transit decisions. Then, in answer to citizen complaints that they could not hold the board accountable for in-camera decisions, the Mayors’ Council was given the right to approve or reject board recommendations. Yet now we have tacit acknowledgement that council members may acquiesce to TransLink’s decision to put a SkyTrain-type Evergreen Line out to bid because that is the only way the province will pay its share of the bill. They should seek our support for a determined push-back. The burning question is this: If Victoria, directly or indirectly, is to make the decisions about South Coast regional transit, why in blazes are we paying for the eight other boards, committees and Partnerships B.C. that sit between us and the province? rimco@shaw.ca

Immortalizing the Canucks Tessa Holloway

tholloway@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver sports artist Glen Green has painted some of the Canucks’ great players from 40 years of history, and now he’s turned his brush to the team that could make club history today.

NEWS photo Mike Wakeﬁeld

GLEN Green works in his artist’s studio that is set up behind his Edgemont home in North Vancouver.

This year’s magic began when he was asked by the Canucks to do portraits of each of the inductees into the Ring of Honour, a new award created this year to recognize the team’s best players in their 40-year history. “That was a big deal,” Green said, but confessed it was also a little nerve racking. The work started by toiling through the Canucks archives, looking at negatives of photos of Harold Snepsts, Thomas Gradin, Kirk McLean and Orland Kurtenbach, ﬂipping through until he found a photo that showed their expressions. The artist then went to work in his studio, tucked behind his house in Edgemont Village, knowing that the players would be taking home an original of his painting following on-ice ceremonies at Rogers Arena. “I actually hooked up with each player because the Canucks made a print from each painting, so I sat down with them and they signed them all, and they were all good fun,” said Green, 54. Each of the paintings features the realism and attention to detail that Green is known for, having created the images that appeared on 12 Olympic coins now in circulation for the Royal Canadian Mint and painted sports greats for a full 30 years. The Carson Graham graduate ﬁnished a painting of Henrik and Daniel Sedin just a few months ago, and admits there are a few more from the current roster he’d like to put to paper. “Obviously Kesler and Burrows and Bieksa are top of the list right now,” he said. “They’re also all good characters, which I obviously like in them.” He even boasts a little about one Boston player, East Vancouverraised Milan Lucic, who came into the studio for a signing of a painting he did about a year and a half ago. Good guy, said Green, chuckling, “except he’s on the wrong side right now.” But the Canucks aren’t his only love. His website has photos ranging from Wayne Gretzky to Bobby Orr, as well as boxing great Mohammad Ali and golfer Tiger Woods. Green said he has always drawn and painted, especially people, but has also played sports. It just made sense to combine the two. Still, it took him years to establish his hobby as a full-time career after walking away from what he describes as a perfectly ordinary job in the 1980s. For more information or to view Green’s work, check his website at greatsportsart.com.

HIKERS head up the Grouse Grind Monday, the ﬁrst day the popular hiking trail was open this year.

The 2.9-kilometre trail experienced some minor renovations during the winter months. Grouse Mountain’s operations team has made improvements to the lower portion of the trail. Erosion patches have been fixed and a more efficient drainage system has been implemented. The renovations have resulted in the trail being reduced from 2,830 to 2,770 steps, yet the total length of the trail has increased by 21metres. The Grouse Grind annually attracts more than 100,000 fitness and hiking enthusiasts. For those who enjoy punishing their bodies regularly, Grouse Mountain offers a Skyride season pass for $99. The trail is open from 6:15 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Gardening’s green wave DIGITAL AGE Steve Dotto discusses the impact of smart phone apps. Page 16

WE all believe that gardening, landscaping and nursery growing are “green” industries and all that grows is good for the earth.

Those industries add beauty to the world, increase our oxygen supply, create habitat for wildlife and help with carbon sequestration, but not everything used to grow is good for the environment. From pesticides to garden waste to the use of plastic there is much waste generation and environmental impact from green industries. Organics and some landscape construction waste can be recycled, and pesticides in the original labelled container can be taken to recycling locations to be safely disposed. But thousands of tons of plastic

Dig Deep

Todd Major used for plant pots and trays are currently going into landﬁlls. During my conversation with Renata Triveri, retail priorities manager for the British Columbia Landscape Nursery Association, I found out that there is no mandatory, industry-driven program for the recycling of plastic nursery pots, trays and

plastic growing bags in the province. There are several reasons for the lack of this recycling: the association has no facilities or means to undertake plastic pot recycling; and several market cost factors inﬂuence when and how much plastic can and will be recycled, which affects return and recycling rates; and municipalities don’t want to deal with plastic pot recycling because unlike beverage containers, plastic pots are hard to clean due to the soil residue on the pot. As well, nurseries and garden centres are unable or unwilling to take back pots and trays because of concerns over pathogenicinfection from soil residues on those pots. Speciﬁcally, infection from sudden oak death syndrome, phytothera, pythium and other soil-borne

diseases that may be in the soil on any returned pot. Plastic recycling is a worldwide problem. In a 2008 report by Gardner Pinfold Consulting submitted to the province’s Ministry of Environment, several key concepts were recommended to move forward provincial recycling goals. One of these concepts is “Extended Producer Responsibility,” or product stewardship, which considers the whole life cycle of a product, from selection of materials and design to its end of life. This means that producers who make the product and consumers who buy the product should assume the cost of plastic recycling programs rather than taxpayers or local government. The green wave is

Keep plastic out of landﬁll

hitting all segments of society. The Recycling Regulation of the B.C. Environmental Management Act was recently amended to require the producers (manufacturers and importers) of all packaging (including nursery pots, trays and plastic growing bags) to implement an industry product stewardship collection program by May 2014. The regulation is an incentive for producers to make and sell products that are more durable, contain few toxins and never become waste. However, packaging at institutional, commercial and industrial facilities is not required to be collected. Well, that’s progress of a sort. The legislation’s details will be worked out over the next few months as the ministry consults with stakeholder groups. The new legislation will help keep potentially toxic plastic residue out of our soil and water. For the gardening public, the legislative change means we have to be mindful of our purchasing choices and look to retailers to provide us with sustainable packaging options. There are some environmentally friendly plant-pot alternatives being introduced, including pots made from coconut ﬁbre, paper, rice-husks and biodegradable plastic

growing bags. But any recyclable plant pot that industry develops containing even a small portion of plastic, recycled or new, must be mindful of the risk posed by degrading plastic chemicals that could build up in the environment and our food chain. From June 25 to July 4, the National Plastic Recycling Event, sponsored by the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association, returns to communities across Canada. Last year, the event diverted 24 metric tons (53,000 lbs.) of garden industry plastic from landfills to be recycled. The event is designed to offer gardeners an environmentally responsible way to dispose of their plastic plant pots and trays. To find out which garden centres in your area are participating, visit www. canadanursery.com and click on “National Plastics Recycling Event” for a map. One of the leaders in the plastic recycling effort is Loblaw Companies Ltd., owner of the President’s Choice brand of annuals, hanging baskets and planters sold at Superstore. According to Peter Cantley, vice-president of Loblaw, “We needed to be more responsible to the environment and cut down on the plastic that ended up in landfills.” Between 2008 and 2010,

Apps alter tech landscape bit by bit I am working my way through a new book by Brian X Chen, an editor at Wired.

that smart phones are dumbing down society, I do agree that the effect on us is profound. The most compelling aspect of smart phones is the concept of the app. Small tools that are very inexpensive, easy to use and get your head around, and easily accessed on your phone, apps are changing the tech landscape bit by bit. Once again, much of the credit for the evolution of the app has to go to Apple. The

Always On is Brian’s exploration of the effect iPhones and other smart phones are having on our society. He was inspired to write the book after, believe it or not, a brief conversation with a San Francisco cab driver, who claimed that access to technology was making us dumber.

Smart phones enhance our connectivity Apple App Store has created a wonderful marketplace for app creators and users alike. Every time you download and install a simple app you are modifying your smart phone, customizing it and making it unique. You are extending its capabilities and potential. As you progress, your phone becomes a completely custom piece of technology, intimately suited to you and your needs. This is the magic of the app — the ability to turn each smart phone into a custom tool. No manufacturer could ever come up with the creative ideas, and unique applications that the app community is churning out. On a daily basis there are new ideas, new ways to use your phone, new ways to integrate it in your day to day life. Some of these apps are simple one-trick ponies, like an app to ﬁnd a taxi. Some are social in nature, like new app Tingle, which is an iPhone dating app. It lets you check into whatever place you are in (read: bar) and see who else might be there that is single, looking and meets your proﬁle. It is sort of a high-tech icebreaker. Others are productivity tools. For example, Mint.com

that helps you track all your expenses and expenditures. If you want to get a feel for this quiet revolution, ask you friends which apps are on their phones. No two will be the same, and you will quickly develop an appreciation for how broad the offerings are. Many of the apps are complete Web 2.0 environments, like EverNote, a simple note management

app. It lives on all your devices — your smart phone (iPhone, BlackBerry or Android) on your tablet and on your computer. You make a new note, which can be anything from a old-fashioned text note, to a voice memo or a ever a picture (perfect for noting that great bottle of wine, take a picture of the label and tag it!) That note is searchable on all your devices, so you

can ﬁnd the note anytime anywhere. Simple and brilliant. Far from making us dumber, I think the advent of smart phones is making us more connected, more capable and more efﬁcient than ever. Steve Dotto is host of Dotto Tech, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. on AM 650. Visit him online at www.dottotech.com or at www. facebook.com/dottotech.

PARENTING

Follow through, don’t give in OLIVIA is 10 years old.

She and her friends really wanted to go to the local amusement park and stay until it closes at 10 p.m. The four young girls were all excited about their plan. They each went home that night to ask their parents and in every case their folks said no. There was no way that Parenting Today four little girls were going to be out at that time of night. Kathy Lynn Period. End of discussion. The next day Olivia suggested they come up with another plan. Maybe they could go in the afternoon. Her friends were not interested; the fun in the plan was being out after dark. They said to Olivia, “Hey, we have a week. Surely we can wear our parents down by then.” Olivia knew that her folks wouldn’t change their minds and that no amount of nagging would work on them. So she didn’t try. The other girls knew they could wear their parents down and were successful. Their parents gave in. Most parents give in because the kids nag, nag, nag until their parents just can’t stand it any more. Ironically, if they hang in, their children will learn that their folks mean what they say. Once they know that nagging doesn’t work, they stop. Another factor is our busy lives. It’s simply easier to give in. It’s so much easier to pick up fast food than to cook a meal. It’s easier to go along with the kids’ chosen fashion trends or toys than to set guidelines and stick to them. It’s easier to have happy kids than ones that are ﬁghting our decisions. When we are being honest with ourselves we know about the scourge of fast food. We know it’s not the best choice. We know it should be a seldom-offered treat. But it’s so easy to justify. You convince yourself that you had a lousy day at work

today and just can’t face cooking. The kids have a soccer practice so you don’t have time to cook. It’s just this once, you say to yourself. We’ve all been there. But we need to come up with a better solution. One is to involve the kids in the cooking so that you have help. When they are preschoolers, teach them how to help you in the kitchen and slowly give them increasing responsibility. Before you know it they can put together increasingly complex meals all on their own. Caving in and buying things we don’t think the kids need or even should have is another area of concern for many parents. You are in a big box store with your daughter Sophia when she sees a toy she must have so she grabs it and puts it in the cart. You say no and put it back on the shelf. She returns it to the cart. Every time you remove the toy from the cart and explain why she can’t have it, she argues vociferously with her voice getting louder each time. Soon Sophia is screaming and other customers are watching. Mom gives in. But she says; it’s only this one time. Sophia smiles. She knows from past experience that throwing a tantrum in public will always get her what she wants. What are some options? Before they go to the store, Mom can show Sophia the shopping list. She can tell her that they will only be purchasing things on the list. So when Sophia sees the toy, Mom need only remind her of the list. Mom can also ask her whether she has enough money saved to buy the toy. Then she can let her know that when she saves enough, she can buy it. If Sophia chooses to yell and fight, Mom takes her firmly by the hand and they return to the car. Giving in is usually the quickest and easiest way to attain peace. But it never works in the long run. So hang in, say what you mean, follow through and you and your children will all benefit.

IT is interesting to note that when people describe a book they really enjoyed they often will use a foodrelated analogy to indicate their pleasure.

book buzz

You might hear, “I just ate it up” or “This book was a delicious read” or “It was yummy!” Here are some appetizing titles to put kids in the mood for some tasty summer reading. This summer, the theme of the province-wide summer reading club is Savour Each Word, so get out your mental fork and spoon and prepare to enjoy these books. Why not start with an appetizer like Brains for Lunch by K. A. Holt, which describes itself as a zombie novel in haiku. This is great fare for boys who like “gross topics” and it’s funny as well. Loeb, the hero, goes to middle school with his fellow zombies and some regular humans (Lifers) and some really unappetizing creatures called chupacabras. He is encouraged by the luscious school librarian to enter a haiku competition and if he wins he just might impress his ever-so-

attractive classmate, Siobhan. Drawings by Gahan Wilson, the famous cartoonist of New Yorker fame, help step up the “gross” factor. Offer this to boys in grades 5 to 7. Dessert First is a delectable offering for girls in the younger grades. The heroine, Dessert Schneider, is part of a restaurant-owning family and is therefore very aware of good food, especially the incredible double-decker chocolate bars made from her Grandma Reine’s legendary recipe. She gets into big trouble with her parents when she devours an entire serving of these bars that are intended for a family celebration. Dessert has to figure out a way to redeem herself, as well as work out what she will give up for a charity drive at school. Charming. Similar to the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary or the Clementine books by Sara Pennypacker, this will appeal to grades 2 and 3. And for a main course offering we have Cheesie Mack is Not a Genius or Anything. Cheesie, so nicknamed because his real name is Ronald Mack, has a wonderful skill: he remembers everything. Cheesie and his buddy Steve have a great summer dealing with a mysterious coin and a mouse plot gone wrong. In the process they make lots of BLART sandwiches! Give this to kids who have finished the Wimpy Kid series. Great for Grade 3 and 4 boys. Wendy Mas has written a Roald Dahl-like book called The Candymakers in which four kids compete in a contest to design a new candy. One of the contestants just happens to be the son of the owner of the Life is Sweet factory, which is conducting the contest. Who will triumph and be crowned the new candymaker? Good reading for grades 4 to 6. The literary meal would not be complete without a graphic novel. Try one of Krosoczka’s Lunch Lady books and giggle at the antics of the school lunch lady who is a secret crime fighter. The latest offering in the series is Lunch Lady and the Bake Sale Bandit. Kids who have read all the Baby Mouse graphic novels will snap these right up. And finally, in case kids want to create their own interesting food events, Bean Appetit promises in the book’s subtitle that the book will provide “hip and healthy ways to have fun with food.” This is like a craft and game book using See Reading page 27

Help him put a fresh face forward

THE men’s skincare line from L’Occitane en Provence may be inspired by France’s famous river canyon, the Verdon Gorge, but it is equally suited to the rugged North Shore.

The ultra-fresh Verdon line combines the organic plant extracts of sea buckthorn, genepi and mint with invigorating spring water from Provence in nine grooming products ranging from face wash to deodorant. And arriving just in time for Father’s Day are two new products designed to face up to the most extreme conditions: Outdoor Moisturizer SPF 30 ($40 for 50 mL) and Instant Energy Eye Gel ($28 for 10 mL). The moisturizer shields against UV rays and free radicals during outdoor activities, whether Dad is biking Fromme or golﬁng Gleneagles. The eye gel is an easy-to-use roll-on that consumer testing has shown to reduce the appearance of dark circles and diminish pufﬁness. An added bonus, the product packaging is made with 100 per cent recycled and recyclable glass and plastic. Find it on the North Shore at the newly opened L’Occitane boutique in Park Royal Shopping Centre’s south mall. — Layne Christensen

THE moisturizer offers an SPF of 30.

WHETHER he’s ﬁxing the car or taking out the garbage, getting his hands dirty is just what Dad does. Dirty is a new men’s fragrance from Lush, and just in time for Father’s Day it comes in a set that includes tingly mint shower gel, a soothing sandalwood shaving cream, a strong-hold oakmoss hair gel, the innovative Toothy Tabs and a trial size of the Dirty fragrance (only available online). Each product contains an element of the Dirty fragrance, so using them together creates a uniﬁed, layered scent; $19.95. Available at Lush shops or www. lush.ca

Get ready to cook with Weber Grill-Line

CANADIANS love to get grilling outside in the summertime.

Father’s Day is the perfect day to kick off the sizzling season. According to the 22nd annual Weber Canadian GrillWatch Survey, we love to celebrate any occasion by bringing out the grill.

In 2010, birthdays tied with Canada Day (our country’s biggest birthday) in popularity (67 per cent), as the most popular grilling celebration. Survey respondents also revealed their most challenging foods to grill and the top five are: desserts (36 per cent), shellfish (30 per cent), fish (27 per cent), fruits (25 per cent) and Pizza (25 per cent).

The good news is that help is just a toll-free number away. Weber offers help to ensure a stress-free grilling experience this Father’s Day (or any other day), and to assist callers with their barbecue queries and concerns, with the Weber GrillLine. Callers can talk to one of 40 specially trained “certiﬁed barbecue Experts.” They ﬁeld about 50,000 calls per year,

providing answers to grilling questions and informing callers about food and product safety, and offering recipe suggestions and meal-planning ideas for all barbecue occasions. Online, the experts have answered about 78,000 emails annually. The most commonly asked questions are: ■ How do I cook on a gas grill? ■ What is the difference

between direct versus indirect cooking methods? ■ How do I cook on a charcoal grill? ■ How do I grill a whole turkey? (Most enquiries at Christmas and Thanksgiving.) Day or night, Weber is always only a phone call, email, mobile app or mouse-click away. In addition to the Grill-Line, check out www.weber.com, a web site

ﬁlled with tips, techniques and recipes, or Weber’s On the Grill app. The Weber Grill-Line is open 363 days per year, from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Paciﬁc Time. It is closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Weber Grill-Line is at 1800-GRILLOUT (1-800-4745568); or be email at grillout@ weber.com.

All owners are responsible for payment of 2011 taxes regardless of whether or not a tax notice is received. New owners must ensure taxes are paid (by themselves or the previous owner). If there is any doubt, check with your municipality. Payment To avoid a late penalty, please be advised that in the event of a postal strike, the due date for property tax payment remains July 4, 2011. To avoid lengthy line-ups at Municipal Hall during a postal strike, please attempt to make payments over the telephone, through internet banking, or in person at a financial institution. If paying your taxes at a financial institution please allow at least two business days for processing your payment. If paying by telephone/Internet banking please allow at least two business days for processing your payment. Payment received by a financial institution on the due date and future dated by the financial institution (next business day) will be considered late and subject to a penalty. Post-dated cheques received in our office prior to July 4, 2011 are acceptable and will be processed by the bank on the date that you have indicated. Taxpayers are encouraged to deliver or mail payments as soon as possible to ensure payment is received on time. If a cheque is returned by your bank for any reason, the payment will not be considered received and a returned cheque charge will be levied. Application for the Provincial Home Owner Grant may be made whether or not the current taxes are paid. It is to your advantage to submit the “application” before the tax penalty date of July 4, 2011 to avoid penalty additions on the grant amount. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOME OWNER GRANT APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL FOR EACH AND EVERY YEAR IN WHICH YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GRANT. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Some banks and credit unions do not accept our paper remittance advice, which is also the Home Owner Grant application. If you are paying your taxes at a bank or credit union, please verify if they will forward the remittance advice/Home Owner Grant application to our office. If they do not accept the Home Owner Grant application, it is important that you mail it to our office or apply online in order to receive the grant and avoid penalty. Apply online for the Home Owner Grant (EHOG) You may claim your Home Owner Grant (if eligible) online for the District of North Vancouver at www.dnv.org/ehog, the District of West Vancouver at www.westvancouver.ca/ehog and the City of North Vancouver at www.cnv.org/ehog. You will need the following reference numbers to access your account: (1) your folio number and (2) your personal access code. You can find both reference numbers on the top portion of your property tax notice. Penalties A 5% penalty will be added to the current taxes outstanding after Monday, July 4, 2011. A further 5% penalty will be added to the current taxes remaining outstanding after September 1, 2011. Is tax deferment an option for you? The Province offers the following property tax assistance programs whereby qualified homeowners may be able to defer taxes on their principal residence while the Provincial Government makes payment on their behalf: !

55 and older, Surviving Spouse, Person with a Disability: if during the tax year you meet any of the criteria that make you eligible for this program you may qualify to defer your taxes;

Families with Children: qualifying homeowners who are financially supporting a dependent child (under 18) and have 15% equity in their homes may defer property taxes on their principal residence. Forms and further information on programs are available through your municipal tax office.

Treat Dad to a feast on his day Angela Shellard Contributing writer

FIRE up the barbie — Father’s Day is June 19 and I don’t think there’s a dad on Earth that wouldn’t love to dig into this menu. No great culinary expertise required, just a little prep time and a big hug.

Lick Your Fingers Barbecued Ribs 2 racks meaty baby back ribs Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tsp minced garlic ¼ cup red pepper jelly 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce 2 Tbsp soy sauce 2 tsp red chili sauce (sambal oelek) 2 Tbsp liquid honey 1 tsp grated fresh ginger Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Season ribs liberally with salt and pepper; place ribs on a greased broiler pan rack, bone side down. Fill the bottom of the broiler pan with water and cover ribs tightly with foil. Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir well to combine and set aside. Bake ribs for 2½ hours or until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. (Check pan a couple of times during cooking and add more water to pan if necessary). Remove from oven, discard foil. Brush ribs with sauce and return to oven, uncovered, for another 30 minutes. Preheat barbecue to medium high; brush both sides of ribs generously with sauce and grill See Use page 30

Bruce and Kelly Jenner Bruce and Kelly Jenner were married June 14, 1986. The photograph was taken in the dark at the Plaza Hotel in North Vancouver, thanks to a freak hail storm that took out electrical power to most of the North Shore, just as they were saying “I do.” The couple met while attending Argyle secondary school and have been inseparable ever since. They are planning a trip to Toﬁno to renew their vows and then will celebrate their 25th anniversary with family and friends upon their return.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

SPORTS TICKER Crofts and Smith shine at NAIA meet SFU’s North Shore runners Helen Crofts (a junior from West Vancouver) and Jessica Smith (in her senior year from North Vancouver) were at their best May 28 at the NAIA track and ﬁeld championships in Marion, Indiana.

Minor hockey sees major impact Tessa Holloway

tholloway@nsnews.com

JACK Cummings remembers the effect on minor hockey in 1994 when the Canucks came within a goal post of taking home the Stanley Cup. “I was here for the ’94 cup and I know registration in minor hockey throughout the Lower Mainland went up for a couple years after that,” said Cummings, a coach at Hollyburn Country Club (www.hollyburn. org). This year, minor hockey associations are expecting a repeat after several years where hockey registration

our factories are running.

Canucks’ success renewing interest at grassroots level

across Canada had been on the decline. Sifting through the new registrations so far, Cummings said he’s seen a lot of players new to hockey. “I think it will. We’ve just gone through our minor hockey registration and we’re getting some new kids. Whether it’s because of that or not I’m not sure,” he said. Tim Murphy, president of the West Vancouver Minor Hockey Association (www.wvmha.ca), has seen the same thing, not just because of the Stanley

NHL dream a big motivator for players From page 40

He noted the current Canucks run is the ﬁrst time since the Senators made the ﬁnals in 2007 that a Canadian team has been in the top two, and that alone could have an impact across the country. He’s hopeful, since the number of kids enrolled in hockey had been on the decline for a few years. “There’s trickle down effect from NHL right down to minor hockey, depends on visibility of NHL franchises playing in the playoffs and showing off how much fun it is,” he said. “Two, the sport has become more expensive for the elite athlete, and there’s a lack of ice time for many areas.” North Vancouver recreation centres also run a number of skating and hockey programs (www.northvanrec.com), and director of communications Anne Rogers said all have seen a bump in numbers since the Olympics in 2010. She said any kids hoping to sign up for hockey

should also look at their learn to skate programs, as that’s the ﬁrst step on the road to scoring a Game 7 goal in the Stanley Cup Finals. Of course, the dream of playing in the NHL is a big motivator for some of the kids signing up, and it’s not out of reach for some. Max Reinhart went through the Hollyburn Country Club program and has been drafted to the Calgary Flames, playing last year for the Kootenay Ice in the WHL where he had a breakthrough season, scoring 34 goals in the season out of a total 79 points. His highlight came scoring ﬁve goals in a single playoff game to tie a league record, and playing in the Memorial Cup tournament. For him, it started just having fun on the ice with friends and teammates, but said to make it to a higher level you have to practice daily. “You’ve got to make sure you really love the game and you’ve got to make sure you really want to do this,” he said. “I guess it could really be anyone. If you really put your mind to it, you never know. As long as you work hard at it every day.”

HARVEY, Barbara Jean (Bonnick) passed away peacefully on June 6, 2011 after a brief time in the Palliative Care Unit of Lion’s Gate Hospital. Barb enjoyed everyone one of her 86 plus years. Born in Toronto, raised in Winnipeg, Barb met and married her only love, Harold S. Harvey (Hy) in 1946 after she had graduated from nursing. After 58 years of marriage, Hy predeceased Barb in 2005. She is survived by her loving sons, Jeff and John and her daughter in law, Trudyann. Her four grandchildren, Dani, Matt, Max and Mike will miss their Nana. In 1966 Barb moved with her family to West Vancouver where she re-invented herself from nurse/mother to bookseller. Starting as a part time clerk with Evelyn DeMille Books in Park Royal, Barb became the province wide manager for W.H. Smith Books in the 1980s. She retired with Hy to Sechelt in 1982 but never stopped giving of herself. She volunteered tirelessly in the community and was the chairperson of St. Mary’s Hospital in the 1990s. She continued on at St Mary’s in various capacities until her illness prevented further service. In addition to her family, Barb will be missed by all her Sechelt friends including her bridge group, former golfing partners and a band of adventurers self titled the 'Merry Widows'. Barb had planned cruise to Alaska with her friend, Harry Woodman, for later in June but her health didn’t cooperate. She will be missed by all. A special thanks from the Harvey’s to the care providers at Lion’s Gate Palliative Care, your caring and compassion provided strength during a difficult time. A private celebration of Barb’s life is planned for later in the month. If friends so desire donations may be made to the B.C. Cancer Society in lieu of flowers. For those wishing to share a memory of Barbara, please go to www.hollyburnfunerals.com

CHILDREN

Evolving Dads

Forget the Leave It to Beaver type dad, the role of father has changed significantly over the past two generations: • Forty years ago fathers were banned from the delivery room, today they are a fixture • No longer the primary disciplinarian, more parents work together in the difficult aspects of childrearing • “Breadwinning” responsibilities have changed from a father’s duty to a shared task • Increasing numbers of dads are opting to stay at home or are staggering work hours with their partner so both parents share in primary parenting responsibilities • In the last 30 years the number of single dads has tripled • Research shows a connection between father–child interaction and increased cognitive development and school achievement • An Australian study found whether or not a dad lives with his children, or if the household dad is not the biological father, a significant factor influencing children’s happiness is the level of positive father figure involvement.
