Canyon Heights homeowners on the hook for slope remediation DNV staff say a garage perched atop the slope is at risk for sliding down the hill to the Mosquito Creek trail below MARIA SPITALE-LEISK S tA f f R e p o Rt e R

T

he owners of a house in Canyon Heights have been ordered by the District of North Vancouver to demolish a garage on their property and stabilize the slope below it.

Julie Rogers and Peter Twist’s garage on Alpine Court sits atop a steep, eroding slope above Mosquito Creek. There is a well-used walking trail down below.

DNV public safety section manager Michelle Weston told council on Monday night, it’s only a matter of time until the garage starts to slide down the slope.

Faced with an impending remedial action notice, Rogers and Twist made a final plea to council asking for the district to take responsibility for the eroding slope.

“As far as we can understand it from the reports that we received from the district, there’s been decades of slope erosion and slides on district lands off of our property,” said Twist.

Among Twist’s claims: the toe of the slope was undercut by district staff and no vegetation was planted to stabilize the hill.

“A search of our records indicates that there was no toe cut. Mosquito Creek naturally undercut the toe of the slope sometime in 1981 or so,” Steve Ono, DNV manager of engineering services, told council.

Coun. Mike Little stood up in support of Rogers and Twist, criticizing the district for not taking action sooner on the remediation work.

“I’m not very comfortable with this one,” said Little. “My frustration is that, yes, this is a natural process that has been taking place … but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have a stake in foreseen problems and addressing them while it’s a whole lot cheaper to remediate them — particularly on our property before it spreads throughout a community.”

He said this case differs from the deadly 2005 Blueridge landslide where homeowners on the Berkley-Riverside escarpment had added fill which contributed to the slope failure.

“This [Mosquito Creek] one was a particularly foreseeable [situation],” said Little. “We had seen the movement of the creek. This [erosion] took place over 30 years and we didn’t respond.”

Coun. Roger Bassam called the Alpine Court case an unfortunate situation. “… and while I empathize entirely with the homeowners, it’s the appropriate action for the district to take. It does represent a significant threat,” said Bassam.

Coun. Alan Nixon is confident the district has done their due diligence with respect to the geotechnical assessment that was completed. The district retained BGC Engineers to review the slope erosion, along with geotechnical reports prepared during the Mosquito Creek Stabilization Project.

BGC’s conclusion was the 1982 Mosquito Creek mitigation work did not increase the natural erosion of the slope below the garage in question on Alpine Court.

“So I’m satisfied that our questions have been asked,” said Nixon.

Mayor Richard Walton was not interested in deferring the matter to a later date.

“One thing that concerns me here is the immediacy of this,” he said.

The homeowners need to submit a remediation plan to the district by Sept. 3, with the work carried out by Oct. 31. In addition to demolishing the garage, Rogers and Twist are also required to address re-vegetation for slope stability and storm water management.

To achieve that end, they would need to hire a registered professional geotechnical engineer to oversee the work and certify the slope as safe.

“I question the tightness of the dates and whether or not we may be able to provide a little bit more latitude for that,” said Walton.

Council approved staff recommendations for the remedial work, in a 4-1 decision.

Rogers and Twist said they will talk to a lawyer first before proceeding any further.

“We are having trouble reconciling the consideration that we would be obligated to take care of the problem when we own less than five per cent of the [eroded area],” said Twist. “We are polite, respectful people, but we don’t get screwed [over] quietly,” said Twist.

creeching car tires.

Screamed obscenities. Damaged vehicles.

Trampled flower beds. Blocked driveways. Endless congestion.

This is summertime living for residents of Panorama Drive in Deep Cove — starting at 7:30 in the morning on weekends — the pandemonium brewing for years.

Tourists visiting nearby Panorama Park are not to blame, say the residents, but rather the invasion of Quarry Rock hikers battling for parking spots close to the trailhead.

The Outlook met with 15 or so concerned citizens of the scenic waterfront enclave on a recent Saturday afternoon to witness the congestion firsthand.

Within the first five minutes, a high-performance vehicle roared past the group standing at the side of the narrow street — cars parked on both sides — traveling faster than the 20 km/h posted speed limit.

“Slow down,” the residents shouted after him.

More often than not, their pleading falls on deaf ears.

They cringe when talking about the many near misses between pedestrians and vehicles.

Panorama Drive resident Bruce Webster recalled a recent frightening incident. His daughter was standing on the street, helping her disabled 88-yearold grandmother into the back of a HandyDart van when a car raced by.

“One more step and [my daughter] would have been killed by a car,” said Webster.

His neighbour Gordon Barkley chimed in with another tale. A few years ago, Barkley’s son’s brand-new car was parked in front of their house.

“I was sitting there having coffee, and then all of a sudden I heard a big smash,” he described.

When Barkley went outside he saw his son’s damaged car in the roadway — the result of an impact with a truck.

At times, the situation on Panorama Drive has turned ugly, with cars blocking emergency vehicles and some frustrated drivers threatening residents.

J Paul Stevenson, who lives at the south end of Panorama Drive, spearheaded an effort to restrict parking on the street to “residents only.” Witnessing a young kid on a skateboard dodging cars on Panorama, which is a cul-de-sac, was the impetus for Stevenson’s petition that was presented to District of North Vancouver council two weeks ago.

He polled 100 of his neighbours, asking them what kind of parking restrictions would work best for the area. Of the 64 people that responded, 62 supported residents-only parking on Panorama Drive.

“Anything less than residents-only parking is not going to be acceptable by us,” said Stevenson.

Currently, no parking is allowed on weekends and statutory holidays on the west side of Panorama Drive from Gallant Avenue to the “S” curve. A driveway at the bend in the road, in one day, was used for 200 U-turns, reports a resident.

A quick Google search for “Quarry Rock Trail Deep Cove” generates close to 99,000 hits.

The popular hiking trail is promoted in various hiking books and articles, with some writers recommending that people continued, NEXT PAGE

park on Panorama Drive.

That advice, says Barkley, is unacceptable.

“If you want to hike, start way up on Deep Cove Road. They want to drive right up to [Quarry] Rock,” grouses Barkley.

DNV Coun. Roger Bassam sympathizes with the Panorama Drive residents’ plight.

“Nobody should have to deal with that on a regular basis — plus the notion if we needed emergency access to the area,” said Bassam.

It’s not unreasonable to have the hikers park farther away, he figures.

“To take a 45-minute hike and turn it into an hour hike is not a big deal,” added Bassam.

Alex Milek, DNV’s supervisor of transportation engineering, said the district shares the residents’ concerns over restricted access due to the high demand for on-street parking and traffic conditions on Panorama Drive.

The district is planning on implementing a parking action plan for Panorama, with some changes expected as early as next week, added Milek.

South of the “S” curve there will be no parking from March to September. North of the “S” curve, in the 2500-block of Panorama on the west side, there will be no parking at any time.

Signs will be installed directing the public to overflow parking lots at Myrtle Park and Rockcliff Road.

District staff will also examine the feasibility of creating a one-way operation within the Panorama Park parking lot and additional parking spaces. mspitale@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/mariaspitale

n a hot Friday summer afternoon, Dogwood Rescue Society volunteers are feverishly communicating via email.

Three email threads are active.

One about placing a dog in a care facility, another about finding a foster home for a dog who urgently needs one and a third about transporting dogs.

A new email thread begins to circulate about a large donation from Whole Foods in West Vancouver, and the excited volunteers appreciate why they are working when they could be enjoying the beautiful July day.

This week has been especially lucky for the dozens of dogs waiting to be adopted from Dogwood Rescue Society.

By donating a few dimes at a time, North Shore residents managed to raise $3,886 for the North Shore-based rescue, which specializes primarily in “sporting” or “gun” breeds.

Every time shoppers came into Whole Foods in West Vancouver with their owns bags, a store employee asked if they would like to be reimbursed a dime or donate it to one of three community chests, one of which was Dogwood Rescue Society.

When the math is done, 38,886 environmentally-friendly people came into the grocery store with their own bags and chose to help the 40-year-old society.

“We knew the store was incredibly busy, but this is an amazing amount of dimes collected in just three short months,” said Brenda Kay, who is on Dogwood Rescue Society’s board of directors. “Dogwood volunteers were floored with such a sizeable and generous donation from the community.”

Dogwood Rescue has found homes for around 800 dogs since it started four decades ago. The money will go a long way in helping the dogs find permanent homes.

The rescue doesn’t have a kennel and all dogs are in foster care at private homes in the Lower Mainland.

The group found homes for around 100 dogs last year and 200 the year before.

Because it’s the volunteers’ mission to help senior dogs as well, there are several receiving palliative care. Three dogs also require extensive orthopedic surgery.

To find a dog to foster or adopt go to dogwoodrescue.org.

Oh, Dear: DNV sign maker retires Cameron Stewart leaves behind a quirky and humorous sign legacy

P

icking up your dog’s poop — you can be funny about that, says Cameron Stewart.

You might not recognize the name, but chances are you have seen Stewart’s handiwork.

Did you do a double take after glimpsing the “Slow down, deer crossing” sign on Dollarton Highway, featuring a cartoon camel instead of a fawn?

Each of Stewart’s signs has a story, and the one about the camel is particularly amusing.

The assignment: create a message, something different than before, that will help prevent deer-related accidents on Dollarton.

So there was Stewart, sitting in his studio at the District of North Vancouver’s Operations Centre, a few sketches fanned out in front of him, musing about his new sign.

That’s when a coworker carrying some pentup frustration walked in and exclaimed: “You might as well put a bloody kangaroo on the sign.”

But Stewart didn’t have kangaroo clipart. But he did have a camel. And an elephant.

Instead, he became a mechanic.

The grass is always greener... when you ignore the summer sprinkling regulations

G

reen with envy over your neighbour’s lush lawn that still looks fit for the cover of Lawn & Gardening despite this epic stretch of scorching sun?

Ever think he or she may be cheating?

I’m not talking about furtively fertilizing or using other lawncare products. I’m talking about another performance enhancer — extra water, as in breaking the lawn sprinkling regulations that are in effect from June 1 to September 30 across Metro Vancouver.

Of course it probably doesn’t happen overtly — it’s usually done on the down low, early in the morning or late at night. But listen closely and you can hear the tat-tat-tat or wooshwoosh of the scofflaws’ sprinklers.

The grass cheaters are as easy to spot as roid-era MLB sluggers.

Just look for the bulging green blades that seem to grow faster and stronger than the scrawny brown grass in nearby yards.

These are the green beauties that garner all the glory — and a smattering of derision from Previously, residents could water early water restriction abiding neighbours. morning and in the evenings.

Do you follow the water sprinkling restrictions?

Vote online: northshoreoutlook.com Last week we asked: Do you think that coach houses should be allowed in West Vancouver?

Like West Van, the goal is to educate rather than fine — although $100 tickets can be issued through DNV bylaw officers to repeat violators. But that doesn’t happen often.

So far this summer season, the district has only issued three tickets and averages five or six a year.

One interesting fact about lawns posted at metrovancouver.org is this: healthy grass needs only about one hour of watering per week.

Still, the regional authority notes that water consumption almost doubles this time of the year — and outdoor use is one of the main culprits.

There are consequences to leaving the tap turned on.

Just check out these startling facts: in one hour a single lawn sprinkler consumes as much as 25 toilet flushes, five loads of laundry and five dishwasher loads — combined.

Need extra incentive to adhere to the strict watering restrictions? It will help save your tax dollars — and the environment.

As Metro notes, by adhering to the watering restrictions “Metro Vancouver can defer building higher dams, bigger pump stations and larger water mains.”

And that could save some serious green.

t’s called a “Therapeutic Community” and it works.

Inspired and modelled on the San Patrignano community in Italy, the Baldy Hughes Centre is a highly effective, year-long addiction treatment facility located outside Prince George. It was brought to life by former West Vancouver businessman and founding member Kevin England and a team of philanthropic citizens who are part of the BC New Hope Recovery Society.

Their mandate: treat addiction while emphasizing a return to positive citizenship. “Being part of something greater than themselves and being held accountable – often for the first time in their lives – is a transformational experience for these men, many who were thought to be beyond hope,” says England. Last month, a Gratitude Celebration Gala was held at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver featuring Juno-winning singer Chantal Kreviazuk. With passion and grace, Kreviazuk helped the society raise money for the ongoing support of this facility which is offered free of charge to qualifying men in need of support.

Should longboarding be banned on all North Shore streets?

Longboarder Graham Collingwood, a former West Van resident, is a team rider for Vancouver-based Landyachtz.

Rob Newell photo

By Michaela Garstin

With the number of serious longboarding injuries mounting, police, concerned parents and boarders themselves are searching for a safer solution

A

t the top of a steep hill in Lynn Valley, two longboarders strap on their helmets and adjust their slider gloves before laying the boards on the cement and taking off.

They quickly face obstacles: parked cars along the side of the road, a truck following them from a distance, a mountain biker riding in the opposite direction. The two young men seem confident, they’ve rode similar hills hundreds of time this year.

The woman driving the truck behind them stays far back, safely letting the boarders ride at their own speed.

One close behind the other, they lean into a sharp corner using sliding gloves to keep their bodies upright.

The gloves have rubber on the palms and finger tips to avoid road burn.

The ride is fast but short. Five minutes later the longboarders are at the bottom of the hill, now using their feet to gain speed as the street becomes level.

Knowing the sun may not be here to stay, they jump in their car and are off to the next hill, this time in a much longer route at the top of the British Properties.

Longboarders from all over the Lower Mainland are travelling to the North Shore this summer to take advantage of the unique steep, windy hills with sharp corners.

But along with this perfect terrain comes annoyed neighbours, concerned parents and a jump in serious injuries — sparking intense debate on how to manage this increasingly popular sport.

Should longboarding be segregated to certain hills?

Is better enforcement the solution? Or should the sport be banned all together on the North Shore?

While there is no clear answer, one thing is for sure

— something needs to be done before more boarders are hurt.

The emergency room at Lions Gate Hospital sees double the number of injured longboarders than any other hospital in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, including Vancouver General. The average patient is a 20-year-old male with shoulder, ankle, wrist or head injury.

And as longboarding becomes more popular each year, the number of injuries climb, particularly from May to September when rain typically eases.

“There is immense potential of really critical injuries,” warns West Vancouver Police Const. Jeff Palmer. He called an urgent safety meeting for the public last month after three longboarders were seriously injured in just a couple weeks.

The first, a 17-yearold Rockridge secondary student, suffered critical head injuries after colliding with a van in Horseshoe Bay. Two other longboarders, one from Surrey and the other from North Van, were

injured in the British Properties after swerving to avoid an oncoming vehicle and hitting a parked truck.

Adding to the list, another boarder was fortunate to escape with only facial cuts after he wound up under an SUV in Ambleside.

Although routinely ignored by boarders, the sport is banned on streets in West Van but allowed in most areas of North Van. These accidents in West Vancouver, however, could prove banning longboarding does little in the way of

preventing injuries.

So what is the solution?

“Longboarding is analogous to snowboarding 20 years ago. I looked at some of the data [from 20 years ago] and there was 21 times more injuries in young males versus skiing,” said Dr. Samuel Gutman, a doctor at Lions Gate Hospital’s emergency department, adding longboarding could become safer as safety protocols are put in place.

One option is to ban boarding from certain dangerous streets, like when the District of North Vancouver made the three-and-a-half kilometre corridor of Skyline Drive, Wavertree Road and Glenview Drive longboarder-free after receiving dozens of complaints from neighbours.

The steep, windy hill is now marked with a sign indicating boarding is off limits.

While there is no clear solution, the longboarding community itself wants conditions to improve, asking at the safety meeting for alternating road closures that would divert cars so boarders could safely cruise the streets.

This option is still up for debate and would be tricky to get started, said Const. Palmer. Citing possible obstacles he says: “…Whose street should be closed, who pays for the cost of traffic, who pays for the cost of liability insurance?” *****

“W

e look for hills with corners. It’s more exciting,” says Graham Collingwood, a longboard tied securely onto his moped.

A former West Van resident, he is a team rider for Landyachtz, a Vancouver-based company co-founded by another former West Van resident, Mike Perreten, 15 years ago while he was studying at UVic. The company now has 60 employees and distributes products to 45 countries.

“There’s no one solution. You can’t just ban it, kids will always do it, like any sport,” Collingwood tells The Outlook.

Now 23 years old, he started longboarding at university after he knew how to drive. The problem today, he says, is that younger boarders aren’t old enough to know the rules of the road.

“Young kids should have someone experienced to skate with, they shouldn’t just go out there. Parents need to make sure they’re doing it safely.”

More experienced riders can pass down unwritten rules: Always wear a helmet, shin pads and slide gloves designed for navigating on sharp turns; always pull over for cars behind you; master breaking techniques in a safe area; never tow riders from a vehicle; stop signs must be obeyed and “expect the unexpected — it doesn’t matter who’s at fault, it’s you that’s on the line.”

With these basic rules in mind, he says longboarding can be a safe sport.

Because anyone can stand on a board and the sport is relatively low-cost — a complete board can cost less than $250 — inexperienced boarders can start riding without any lessons. To help teach these young boarders, Landyachts held two safety courses at a park in North Van this summer.

But Const. Palmer warns no matter how advanced a longboarder’s skill, serious accidents can still happen.

“No matter what, if you are a longboarder and you’ve got an inchand-a half of foam helmet and you’ve got some padding on your knees and elbows… that’s really nothing compared to colliding with a threeor four-thousand pound vehicle.” continued, PAGE 17

A Maverick takes flight Kurtis Kolt kurtis@kurtiskolt.com

T

here have been rumblings around B.C. over the last little while that Bertus Albertyn, who had been making wine at Oliver’s Burrowing Owl Estate Winery since 2009, was about to pack up his things and devote all of his time to a new project in the South Okanagan.

Whenever it would come up in conversation, there usually wasn’t a lot known about what his new venture would entail, but there was certainly a lot of optimism.

You see, Burrowing Owl has had a quite stellar reputation since it first released wines back in 1997. As the winemaker’s torch was passed from Bill Dyer to Stephen Wyse and then to Bertus Albertyn, there was a good deal of consistency to the winery’s muscular style, full of polished fruit and confidence.

My preferred ever-so-slight variance of style has definitely leaned toward the latter years where I’ve found their wines to have the most balance, with a little more freshness and honesty to the fruit. I assumed that as the winery stayed true to its house style of bold and hand-

some wines, it was perhaps a little more of a hands-off approach that Bertus, a South African expat, employed that resulted in the wines showing a little more true.

So it’s a little bittersweet for me that he’s fled the coop at such a storied winery, but I’m delighted to share that his impressive skill is perhaps even better employed at his new, personal venture; Maverick Estate Winery.

Now that he (and a couple partners) pay the bills, he can have a genuine influence on the wines he’s crafting without adhering to someone else’s vision.

The result, from the first couple wines I’ve tried, are fresh and pure expressions of the winery’s vineyard in the South Okanagan’s Golden Mile.

With minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winery, and perhaps the odd smidge of oak to properly frame the fruit, each sip lends elements of the land; whether it’s crisp minerality, a whisper of sage or a beaming ray of sunshine.

They’re just getting started and there’s not much to go around, but jump on it if you can by nabbing some bottles via MaverickWine.ca. Here are the two labels currently offered:

Maverick Estate Winery 2011 Pinot Gris | $20

A nice, ripe apricot-laden Pinot Gris with a splash of fruit cocktail, a few dusty herbs and some bursts of lovely, aromatic jasmine popping through. It’ll handle spicy dishes, poultry and game quite nicely.

Maverick Estate Winery 2011 Origin | $16

I was a little hesitant of this blend that encompasses 70 per cent Gewürztraminer and 30 per cent Sauvignon Blanc but after a few quick sips, I started wondering why more wineries don’t try it. Sure, the Gewürztraminer steals the show with lychee, rose petal and all of the other textbook elements; but just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, the Sauvignon Blanc rushes in with fresh-squeezed pink grapefruit to liven things up and keep it from being too cloying.

Cool stuff.

Le Dîner en Blanc White-washed dinner evening a feast for the senses Last year it was quite a scene under the white sails at Canada Place: Hundreds of people, dressed exclusively in white, eating at white-linened tables.

This year’s Diner en Blanc promises to be even more stunning, with 2,500 people expected to sign up. Although the location will be kept secret until the day of the event, the 2013 dinner is scheduled for Aug. 22. It’s $30 per person plus a $5 membership but here’s the catch: You have to bring your own picnic-basket dinner, white table cloth, table and white chair. You have to arrive and depart by bus or public transit, and take all your leftovers and dishes home with you. Go to Vancouver.

ith the royal baby officially named Prince George Alexander Louis this week, there’s no better time to hold the 14th annual RoyalTea-by-theSea. On Aug. 10 from 2 to 4 p.m., royal watchers decked out in their fanciest sun hats will sip tea at Dundarave Park at the foot of 25th Street in West Vancouver.

Dressed in their best, they will be celebrating the newest royal’s birth — a baby boy who could one day be king.

“I’m sure with the baby the interest will be high,” said RoyalTea organizer Carolanne Reynolds.

Guests write greetings each year to the Queen in a book that is shipped to London. This year Reynolds suspects there will be many warm-wishes for little Prince George as well.

The first RoyalTea was held to celebrate the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday on Aug. 4, 2000.

Last year, Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee was centre stage.

Tea and finger food will be served and, as always, there is an award for best hat.

Check royaltea.ca next week for more details.

W

hatever your plans are for the B.C. Day long weekend — camping, boating or just chilling poolside — be sure to keep your camera handy for any potential wildlife sightings.

Until Sept. 30, the BC SPCA is accepting digital submissions for its fifth annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest.

The annual contest for amateur photographers raises money for the organization’s Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island that treats over 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals annually.

“With the nation’s greatest diversity of wildlife in our own province, we are excited to help backyard and amateur photographers showcase these amazing animals,” said Sara Dubois, manager of wildlife services for the BC SPCA, in a release.

There are two categories in the photo contest — Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats — with prizes being awarded for the top three in each.

To be eligible you must be at least 14 years old and reside in B.C. According to the release, contest participants are encouraged to “explore green spaces, roadsides, beaches and even backyards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes free-living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities.”

Learn more about this year’s contest and see winners from past contests at spca.bc.ca/ wildlife-in-focus. For more information about the contest email contest@wildarc.com. twitter.com/nsoutlook

www.northshoreoutlook.com www.northshoreoutlook.com Education can only go so far to protect young longboarders.

No matter how many safety lessons, some adrenaline-chasing longboarders will still take dangerous risks, says Dr. Gutman.

“The physiology is different in adolescent brains, they crave stimulus.

Risk-taking behaviour is one way to get stimulus, “ he explains. “Young males are going to take risk, it’s part of evolution.

“Everybody knows if you’re going 60 miles an hour and you run into something hard you can get hurt bad. There

continued from, PAGE 10

While the majority of injuries are to shoulders, arms, wrists and ankles, 27 per cent affect the head — the most dangerous kind due to the possibility of brain damage.

In 2008, there were around 10 emergency rooms visits caused by longboarding in the Vancouver Coastal Health area, according to a report presented by medical health officer Dr. Brian O’Connor. By 2012 the number had shot up closer to 90, most of them at Lions Gate Hospital. Nine per cent of patients, usually with more serious injuries, were admitted to hospital.

The average age was around 20 years old, but 27 per cent of patients were under 16. Although 80 per cent of ER visits are from males, this isn’t to say females aren’t participating.

Collingwood estimates that 10 per cent of boarders are girls.

“The physiology is different in adolescent brains.”

are no surprises here.”

But this isn’t to say education isn’t important, Gutman adds, mentioning rules for snowboarders and mountain bikers have reduced the number of injuries for both sports. *****

W

hile other Lower Mainland communities are also grappling with how to handle longboarding — take White Rock for instance, where many teens ignore the city-wide ban — the issue is at the forefront of North Shore politics because of the popularity of local hills.

How to solve the problem is far from clear.

Even though longboarding is banned in West Van with a penalty of $47, Mayor Michael Smith said he would ask staff to draft a report on how longboarding should be handled.

Over in the District of North Van, a 4-2 vote by council in May put a halt on making the sport illegal all together. In the year since boarding was banned on Skyline Drive complaints have dropped off almost completely.

While a solution is unlikely to come about this summer, a solution could be possible in the future with the cooperation of the three North Shore municipalities, police forces and the longboarding community itself. mgarstin@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin
