Long-lost ﬁsh species returns to Lighthouse Park Tessa Holloway

tholloway@nsnews.com

BLACK rockﬁsh are back in the waters off Lighthouse Park after being wiped out completely from the Strait of Georgia, the Vancouver Aquarium has found.

The aquarium first reintroduced 200 young fish in 1996 before releasing another batch of adults in 2004 and 2005, but the effort to reestablish the species was in doubt as poachers continued to be a problem. But researchers confirmed last week that the group is breeding, having found fish in the area that were born in 2006, 2008 and even some juveniles that were born just this year. “It’s all circumstantial evidence, but it points really strongly to this group still being there and reproducing,” said Jeff Marliave, vice-president of marine science at the aquarium. The fish were once abundant throughout Howe Sound and the Strait of Georgia; however, with the increase in sport fishing in the 1960s and ’70s, the species was wiped out in the area. Unlike other types of rockfish, which remain in large numbers in Howe Sound, black rockfish are curious and won’t hide under rocks when humans are nearby, making them much easier to catch than other species. Black rockfish remain in large numbers on the west coast of Vancouver Island, which is where the individuals at Lighthouse Park came from. The site, Starboat Cove, was chosen See Stock page 3

Ignatieff promises NV navy contracts Benjamin Alldritt

balldritt@nsnews.com

CANADIAN naval ships will be built on the North Shore for the ﬁrst time in decades if the Liberals form the next federal government, according to party leader Michael Ignatieff. Ignatieff made the commitment on his way to a speaking engagement in West Vancouver Sunday. The promise that could translate into hundreds of jobs and billions of dollars for a North Vancouver shipyard. “Of course we will,” Ignatieff said in an interview with the

North Shore News. “We need balance. There are shipyards in Atlantic Canada. There are shipyards on the St. Lawrence and there are shipyards out here. We need a balanced program in terms of long-term stable employment on both coasts.” The Conservative government plans on awarding long-term, multi-billion dollar contracts to two Canadian shipyards to build more than 100 navy vessels over the next 30 years. North Vancouver’s Washington Marine Group faces stiff competition

for the work from rival yards in Quebec and Nova Scotia. “We’d need to review the current policy,” Ignatieff said. “The sense of having long-term work instead of stops and starts, I get that part. Making sure we get good value for money on the contracts is important too. . . . We need to invest in Coast Guard protection. We need to invest in maritime surveillance. I want to make sure we have a balance between civilian and military procurement. It’s a double balance: East Coast and West Coast is balance one, balance two is making sure that it’s long-term so that the shipyards aren’t stop and start.” Ignatieff also reiterated his support for a ban on oil tanker

Look at the Kitimat Channel and you start thinking there are risks here that we don’t want to take. We’ve got marine protected areas here that the current government wants to expand — that part of it we support — but then they want to run oil tankers through there. I think it’s just imprudent; it’s too dangerous.” “The key point here is let’s get the balance right,” he said. “I’ve been offered every opportunity in the world in the last three years to run against the Alberta oil sands.

injured in stabbing Jennifer Luther

jluther@nsnews.com

TWO people were sent to hospital Monday morning after they were stabbed in an altercation on Xwemelch’stn (Capilano 5 Reserve). The incident occurred shortly after 5 a.m. Aug. 22 when an argument on the street turned nasty. A man who was watching the ﬁght came up behind the victim during the argument and stabbed him in the back, shoulder, and arm, according to police. A woman standing nearby was stabbed in the forearm. West Vancouver police arrived on scene within a minute. After an investigation lasting several hours, two male suspects were located nearby and arrested. The victims were taken to Lions Gate Hospital by ambulance. Both were in serious condition, although their injuries were not considered life threatening. The man received several stitches in the back, and has been discharged. His extended family is looking after him. The woman will require surgery next week for a lacerated tendon. The WVPD Forensic Identiﬁcation Unit and Criminal Investigation Section are still investigating. Police do not believe the event was linked to any previous incidents in the area. The suspects appeared in North Vancouver provincial court Monday. Anyone who witnessed the crime is asked to contact West Vancouver police at 604-925-7300.

Patroller saves collapsed hiker Tessa Holloway tholloway@nsnews.com

A Grouse Mountain patroller is being credited with saving a life after a 61-year-old West Vancouver man had a heart attack at the top of the Grouse Grind. The man collapsed near the resort’s Alpine Chalet at the top of the popular trail just before noon Saturday. By chance, two paramedics from Colorado, a doctor and a nurse from Seattle, and an off-duty firefighter from Surrey were among the visitors nearby. They rushed to the man’s aid, and found him unresponsive. At one point he went into cardiac arrest. Someone contacted Grouse staff, and minutes later the first-aid trained patroller arrived with a defibrillator, which the patroller used to restart the man’s heart. The victim was taken down to Skyride to a waiting ambulance and rushed to Lions Gate Hospital. “It’s extremely uplifting to hear that this person is now recovering,” said William Mbaho, a spokesman for the resort, who said the man’s chances of survival would have been slim without that quick intervention. Mbaho said they have responded to about 12 incidents on the mountain this year, ranging from cuts and bruises to serious emergencies, but this one stands out. “This one is extremely unique because we had to resuscitate the person,” he said. The incident follows another two weeks ago, in which a woman suffered a medical issue partway up the Grind. The resort and Metro Vancouver have since come under fire for not sending staff 400 metres down the trail to help her. It took about 40 minutes for fire crews to reach the victim. Grouse said the trail is the responsibility of the regional district, but that patrollers do help during serious emergencies. Mbaho said it’s important that hikers realize the risks in climbing the trail, and most importantly bring lots of water, proper footwear and clothing and take plenty of breaks. “The weather conditions at the base when they start might not be the same when they reach the halfway mark or the top,” he said, adding hikers should pack a cellphone as well in case of emergency.

Whytecliff diver hospitalized Jennifer Luther

jluther@nsnews.com

A woman is in hospital after she failed to resurface at a local dive spot on Sunday, about 150 metres off West Vancouver’s Whytecliff Park. The 46-year-old Port Moody woman was diving with a partner when something went wrong, and she failed to surface. A diving instructor and his students, who were nearby, were alerted to the woman’s plight when they heard the frantic shouts from her companion. The group started searching the area in a grid pattern while they waited for emergency services. The instructor found the unconscious woman at a depth of 14 metres, and hauled her to the surface. By then, coast guard officers were on hand in an emergency raft, along with West Vancouver police, paramedics and a West Vancouver fire crew. The victim and her diving partner were flown to

Vancouver General Hospital by air ambulance. The woman remains on life support in extremely serious condition, according to other media. The area saw a similar accident in May, when a diver reached the surface unconscious during a night dive near the Horseshoe ferry terminal. Rescuers performed CPR but were unable to save her. Another diver was killed in the area November 2008.

Sinking feeling N

orth Vancouverites may feel inclined to cheer Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff’s vow to build new navy ships in British Columbia. But perhaps the North Shore should hold its applause for the moment. It’s a long, long walk from making a promise to laying a keel. For starters, there’s the small matter of a federal election. If the Liberals do manage to oust the Conservatives, they will surely spend a good long time reviewing the Tories’ procurement strategy. Readers may also recall the Polar 8, a $700million icebreaker to be built in North Vancouver that was a done deal until, in 1990, it suddenly wasn’t. It was Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives who walked away from that one, but there’s no shortage of hollow promises from the Liberals,

from repealing the GST to developing a national daycare program. Moreover, the promise will be moot if the Grits lose the next election, or if the Conservatives decide to award the contracts before then. Prime Minister Stephen Harper appears to have lost interest in wooing Quebec into the Tory tent; he may well be willing to take the political pain from shutting la belle province out of this federal bonanza. Conversely, the Liberals desperately need to rebuild their support in Quebec, and the prospect of a majority government may make Sunday’s bustour promise seem like a long time ago. No matter who holds sway in Ottawa, the shipbuilding work would be a massive boon for the North Shore. But let’s start cutting steel before we uncork the champagne.

Grim anniversary calls for forgiveness

Dear Editor: This month marked the 65th anniversary of the end of the war between Canada and Japan, the Paciﬁc Theatre of the Second World War. As we pass this milestone, I cannot help but think of my late father. Gunner Stanley Weston, federated Malay volunteer forces No. 13875, found himself working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya — now known as Malaysia — when the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor, Hong Kong, Malaya and other Allied territories on Dec. 7, 1941. Like others who served in that campaign, his tour of active duty was short. In early 1942, he was captured in Singapore. For almost four long years my mother, then his ﬁancée, did not

know if he was dead or alive. He endured innumerable torture and privations at the hands of his captors. Among other things, he was forced to provide slave labour on the famous bridge-accross-the-River-Kwai railway project. He had his appendix removed by a doctor using only a razor blade. Stan Weston was fortunate to return alive and in one of the most romantic true-life stories I know, married my mother only days thereafter in a small ceremony at Ryerson United Church in Vancouver on Halloween, 1945. After the honeymoon, he was treated in hospital for six months as he completed his recovery — my late mother swore the long term in hospital had nothing to do with the honeymoon.

One interesting thing about my father’s experience was his ability to forgive his captors. One of the few things I recall his telling me was that the “Japanese were as tough on themselves as they were on us.” Somehow, he’d rationalized the treatment he received in a way that allowed him to transcend the anger and live day to day during his captivity, then to take that forgiveness with him when he was released. Though he never forgot, I believe his ability to forgive enabled him to survive his wartime experience. On this sombre anniversary, let us forgive, but never forget. John Weston, MP West Vancouver — Sunshine Coast — Sea to Sky Country

Housing complex far from simple Big hearted Crooner a class act

Dear Editor: I have followed with great interest your recent articles regarding the plan to build a senior’s housing complex on the former Wetmore Motors site at Marine Drive and 22nd Street (West Van Unveils Wetmore Site Plans, July 28, North Shore News). As a senior citizen, I have a vested interest in this development proposal; however, I believe the district has a responsibility to look at the soundness of its investments as well as the needs of its seniors. If the developer is paying the district back

its initial investment of $5.56 million along with an additional $14.5 million in profit the district claims it will make from the 125-year lease, it’s fine. But if the initial outlay and profit will only be paid into the district treasury over the course of the 125-year period, it appears to be a terrible investment. Sometimes politicians declare a high figure to attract support without giving all the necessary facts and figures to form an educated opinion. It seems some clarity is needed here. Edgar Elwes North Vancouver

Dear Editor: My wife and 14-year-old daughter Maddi were lucky to get great seats for Michael Bublé’s recent concert in Vancouver. Maddi and two friends went with other fans to the side entrance at Rogers Arena hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol. Seven hours later, with just the three of them left, he arrived with his gorgeous fiancé Luisana. He went out of his way to say “Hi,” introduced his fiancé to each girl, then asked the security guard to take a picture of all five of them. When the performer asked if they were going to his concert, Maddi said she was, but that her two

friends couldn’t get tickets. He entered the girls’s names into his ﬁancé’s iPad and told them to pick up tickets at the window, compliments of him. They were great seats ﬁve rows behind Maddi and her Mom at an amazing two-hour show. In the age of reality shows and train-wreck celebrities, it is refreshing to see a local guy who made it big but hasn’t forgotten his fans. Thank you, Michael Bublé, for being a class act and giving three happy teenaged girls an incredible story to tell. Barry Miles North Vancouver

Thinking on thoughtfulness

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has.” Anthropologist Margaret Mead (1901-1978)

WHETHER or not they have studied Margaret Mead’s sage observations — because the quotation above is not the only one of hers we’d do well to think on — there are thoughtful, committed citizens throughout the North Shore who really are making a positive difference in the lives of others. Some of them may not have stopped to think about their efforts in this context, while others may have discovered quite unexpectedly the truth that lies in the heart of Mead’s message. And because, out of necessity, the news that surrounds us is so often ﬁlled with negativity, violence and tragedy, I thought it was time to “Ac-centuate the Positive,” as Johnny Mercer wrote. The most enjoyable aspect of the task was that, this time, I did not need to do much digging. Some stories just threw themselves at me, while

Just Asking

Elizabeth James others crept unbidden into my consciousness. The ﬁrst arose out of an article in this paper: As editor Martin Millerchip so ably described, a group of 26 students from Seycove secondary, and more from Carson Graham secondary, spent many hours fundraising the thousands of dollars it took to support their recent summertime travels. But these were not students bent on living it up in fancy hotels and swimming pools. Instead, they spent their vacation toiling in the streets and garbage dumps of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Mexico to improve the lives of the poor and hungry who live there. Seycove student Kyle Randall would have no problem understanding Mead, because his life-changing moment came when he arrived home and realized:

“It’s so great to actually have that feeling: that it starts with one person and it grows and grows so that it really is making a difference.” The good work done by some citizens is not always newsworthy enough to make the pages of a mainstream paper, however. Such are the efforts of North Vancouver resident Kaarina Moore. I ﬁrst became aware of Moore’s work when I went over to the North Shore News to pick up a letter that had been delivered there for me. The envelope carried an ordinary Canadian postage stamp and, when News receptionist Joyanna Anthony handed it to me, she asked, “May I take the stamp, please? I collect them for a friend.” I was happy to oblige but curious as to why anyone would want a used 57-cent stamp. My enquiries led me to Moore who, I discovered, has volunteered for many years on the Stamp Out Cancer project of the Fraternal Order of the Eastern Star. This quiet lady, who also donates her time working in the gift shop at Lions Gate Hospital, helps to collect and sort the stamps, trim the paper around them, and count them into packages of 1,000. The Eastern Star then sells the stamps to philatelists around the world.

In 2008-2009, 538 Eastern Star volunteers like Moore worked more than 14,000 hours to process nearly 164,000 dressings throughout British Columbia. That compassionate effort, aimed at relieving alreadyburdened cancer patients and their families of at least one worry, all begins with a 57cent stamp and a good heart — and it grows and grows from there. The next story is another one that just walked itself into my inbox. As I wrote to the editor when I submitted my recent story on the problems posed by North Shore black bears, I expected to receive a sound verbal spanking. That hasn’t yet materialized. Most people seem to have taken the column as I intended: a thought-provoking search for solutions. One response was a polite email from a Grade 10

“North Shore’s largest selection of roof boxes!”

Lloyd Ave.

student who asked for clarification on some of the points I had made. What a great experience it was to learn that the words I had written were relevant enough to be taken seriously by a member of the younger generation. I doubt that student will ever number among the apathetic who avoid the polling booths at election time; she cares too much about her community. The next person who makes a difference, I’m sure, in many more lives than my own, I also found by happenstance, courtesy of Premier Gordon Campbell and his eloquent finance minister. Remember how they told us that businesses would pass on their savings to customers after the HST was imposed? Well, it seems Victoria’s message didn’t get out to the corporation that has an alreadytoo-expensive coffee shop on every corner in North America. After years of allowing myself a weekend treat in lieu of a vacation and taking my book to read with a latte and muffin, I quit. Well, almost. I quit insofar as I switched to a bran muffin

— “That’s all, thank you” — picked up from a drive-through under the golden arches. That’s where I found a young lady — or more accurately, two young ladies and a fella doing their small part. It would be so easy, would it not, for someone who earns minimum wage by talking for hours into a microphone to develop a “Whaddya want” attitude. Instead, these three have come to recognize the car that doesn’t ever want anything more than bran mufﬁns: “Good Morning!” one greets me. “Do you want two bran mufﬁns today, or three?” That regular exchange has become a game now, to see how smoothly they can hand off the baton — sorry, bag — to me at the last window, as one or the other calls out: “Have a nice day.” After that happy start, how could I not? So to Kyle Randall and all his fellow travellers — too many to name — it does, indeed, “start with one person” — a person who cares enough to make a difference small or large, and it “grows and grows” from there. How could we ever doubt they are changing the world for the better? rimco@shaw.ca

Man arrested in card skimming

Police ﬁnd device attached to ATM Benjamin Alldritt

balldritt@nsnews.com

A 29-year-old Ontario man is facing at least one fraud charge after allegedly installing a device to skim cards at a West Vancouver bank machine.

A bank employee spotted some suspicious additions to an ATM on the 1600-block of Marine Drive Aug. 17 and called the police. “We sent in an unmarked, plainclothes unit and he looked at the video from the security cameras,” said Cpl. Jag Johal, a spokesman for the WVPD. The officer broadcast a description of the man captured on the video to other units in the area. Another West Vancouver officer soon spotted the suspect not far from the bank. The man was arrested without incident. Card-skimming schemes usually involve adding some camouflaged surveillance devices to a legitimate bank machine, Johal said. “There’s a card reader that is found where you stick your bankcard. It could be there or on the door. That captures the information on your magnetic strip. These guys also put a camera somewhere near the ATM. “Sometimes, they can play around the ATM and remove parts and stick their devices in, directing a camera towards where you enter your PIN number. “Some of them use Bluetooth technology, and if they can compromise the PIN pad somehow, there will be a person in close proximity with a computer or a BlackBerry that’s capturing all your data.” The suspected Marine Drive scam involved a card reader and a camera, Johal said. Palmer Mageza was charged with one count of fraud in relation to the incident Aug. 18. Police have recommended further charges that will be considered by the Crown as the investigation proceeds. Mageza was back in North Vancouver provincial court Monday.

The Great Canadian Landscaping Company Celebrates Ten Years Of Growth Thank you to all our loyal customers, industry partners, friends and family ...we could have not done it without you! Congratulations from:

Ten years ago, Chris O’Donohue started a North Shore landscaping business with a pickup truck, a trailer full of landscaping tools, an 8’ x 10’ Garden Shed, and 15 customers. Today, the Great Canadian Landscaping Company has 8 trucks, 4 trailers, 26 full time landscapers and a management team of 3. They make over 250 weekly visits to their customers and run year round, also doing snow removal in the winter. “In the beginning, we maintained our 15 weekly customers and along the way picked up more regular clients when we entered the landscape renovation business,” says Chris. “Our marketing plan consisted of dropping off ﬂyers in our neighborhood and homes that appeared to be in some state of renovation which could lead to our next lawn maintenance customer.” According to Chris, simple things like listening to his customers have helped him grow. “If you ask me about success, the way I measure it is from the positive comments I receive from my customers when the job is done and customers who take the time to tell me when my staff is doing a good job. It is that recognition that makes me proud of my achievement and of the company I have created.” It’s an attitude that has earned his young company accolades and the respect of his peers.

“It really hit me when I won the 2003 Young Entrepreneur Award from the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce and then in 2006 received recognition from the BC Landscape and Nursery Association Award of Excellence for ‘Landscape Installation -$60,000-100,000’ for the Luongo Residence.” In the 10 years since he began his company, there have been a lot of changes in local regulations that have a direct impact on how he operates but he sees it as an opportunity. “The banning of pesticides and herbicides has allowed us to focus on organic and integrated pest management solutions in our landscape practices. By banning pesticides and herbicides in our cities and municipalities, it has forced our customers to stop and think of ‘Green’ Landscape Practises for the sake of the environment, their health, the health of their loved ones and their pets, instead of a quick ﬁx approach. This is the future.” As for his company’s future, Chris understands the importance of the team dynamic. “It is my job to grow the company responsibly, but also to help create an environment where the staff’s workday has elements of excitement and spirited teamwork, so that working at The Great Canadian Landscaping Company is not so much just a job, but more of a career. It’s the same way I feel every morning when I show up to work!”

SPCA urges North Shore residents to shoot wildlife Jennifer Luther

jluther@nsnews.com

THOSE with a camera and a steady hand have been urged to go outside and shoot local wildlife. “Of course, we mean ‘shoot’ in the camera sense,” said Sarah Dubois, manager of wildlife services for the BC SPCA, in a press release.

Photos taken by adult backyard and amateur photographers over the age of 16 can be entered in the SPCA’s 2010 Wildlife-In-Focus photography contest in one of two categories: wild setting or the backyard habits. Prizes will be awarded for top three photos in each category, and all entries will be considered by Vancouver’s Nicholas Read, an author preparing for the release of his upcoming children’s book, City Critters: Living Wild in the Urban Jungle. The contest doubles as a fundraiser for Wild ARC, the

SPCA’s Vancouver Island wildlife rehabilitation facility, which helps more than 1,900 wild animals a year. Photographers are encouraged to explore green spaces anywhere from beaches to back yards, to snap a frame of local wildlife. Shots of free-living mammals, amphibians, birds, reptiles, ﬁsh, and insects are welcome, while photos of exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in captivity are not. The deadline for entries is Aug. 31, so camera-toting hopefuls should ready, aim, and shoot.

CHIKA Mercier of Sweet Chic’s Cookies company creates custom-designed treats for special occasions.

Party ideas bring on summer fun

THE warmer weather is perfect for an outdoor children’s party.

DIG DEEP Todd Major takes a walk on the wild side. page 19

I’ve always believed that a good theme, a fabulous cake and some pre-planned party favours can just about make any birthday memorable. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a fun, summer get-together here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling. Most items can be purchased at the dollar store to keep costs to a minimum. Beach party Why not take advantage of the sunshine and make your next birthday party a beach theme? There are many public beaches where picnic tables and grass areas are available to host a group of kids down at

Home Ideas

Barb Lunter the water. Set the table with a brightly coloured tablecloth and use small items such as miniature rubber balls, and paper cocktail umbrellas to have some fun with place settings. Cut a piece of faux green turf paper (available at Michaels)

into 3x3-inch squares. Place a rubber ball and umbrella on each setting and write the attendee’s name on the umbrella. At the end of the day give each child a plastic bucket ﬁlled with beach toys and a few candy items. Another nice touch is to have custom cookies made up ahead of time in the theme you are planning to have. Sweet Chic’s Cookies is one local supplier here on the North Shore that features many different types of custom cookies to suit your needs. Chika Mercier, the owner of Sweet Chic’s, has a real creative ﬂair for many designs. If you have a pattern or photo of something in mind, Mercier is able to copy it onto a cookie

as close as possible. Kids love receiving a treat at the end of a party and to have one custom made is pretty special. Check out her website at www. sweetchics.citymax.com. Costume party If the weather doesn’t co-operate and you have to switch gears then an indoor party is deﬁnitely doable on short notice. Some of the most successful kid’s birthday parties we have attended have been the ones where a characteristic of the child that is most cherished is celebrated within the theme of the party. Perhaps it’s their sense of humor or their tendency to be a bit messy? Parties where the kids are able to dress up in costumes and

be silly are perfect. Throw in a scavenger hunt and perhaps a mini fashion show and you are in business. Here’s an idea for a table setting for a costume party. A quick visit to the dollar store for a few dress up items and you’re set. At each place setting have two to three different costume items. A hat, glasses and a beard are good examples. Each place setting has completely different costume attire. Have the kids sit at the ﬁrst place setting and dress up. Be sure to have disposable cameras at each chair for the kids to have some fun with photos. The kids can change up the costume items as they see ﬁt and enjoy some great photo opportunities. lunter@shaw.ca

he North Shore has grown since 1980. In the past 30 years, over 40,000 people have moved to North and West Vancouver and helped forge strong community bonds in what most residents regard as the greatest community on Earth. Trevor Stephenson, co-owner of North Vancouver’s IRLY Building Centre at 1335 Draycott in Lynn Valley has seen it happen and been an integral part of it. Independently owned and operated, there are 45 IRLY Building Centres in BC. For home owners, contractors and anyone who needs help with a building project, IRLY has grown to become an important community resource for building supplies, expertise and service.

renovations easier are becoming increasingly popular. For example our new Railing kits for sundecks come with everything you’ll need including hardware and fasteners — making the calculations and project list easy. And if you need help beyond the instructions, we are just a phone call away.”

BEFORE

We have staff that have areas of expertise and so we compliment each other and work as a team... Contractors have also come to rely on them for their selection, level of service and ability to help get the job done. “Contractors appreciate how we keep their account information accurate and up to date. We have a reputation of having good quality materials so that they can trust that their job will run smoothly. They also like that we deliver ordered materials consistently on time so that they will have happy customers too.” By carefully selecting the products they offer, the Lynn Valley IRLY Centre also saves you time.

John “Most of our staff have been with us between 5-18 years,” says Trevor.“The store is set up specifically to greet you as you come in. If you have a question about materials or where something is, there are usually 3-4 people at that customer service station ready to help you. We have staff that have areas of expertise and so we compliment each other and work as a team to fulfill your needs and have regular training meetings to keep product knowledge up to date.”This includes being able to offer installations of products including windows and doors.“With people becoming increasingly aware of what they need to do to save money on their heating bills, we have seen an increase of window replacement to the more efficient ones. They are also increasing the value of their homes by making this renovation. We help them with advice about window options and we offer to install them as part of our service.”

“We try to offer the best quality materials and products so that you don’t have to waste your time replacing things or bringing stuff back. All of our employees have done renovations of their own and appreciate and promote this practice.” Ultimately, getting to know their customers and treating them well is what has kept them a valued member of the North Shore business community. “We are loyal supporters of local sports and charitable organizations,” says Trevor, “and pride ourselves on making sure you are always left satisfied. We treat all of our customers like neighbours because they are. We live here too.”

Learn to live with wildlife

I grow my garden for my enjoyment, for the food it provides, to share it with friends and family and every once in awhile to get a visit from my wild friends.

For me, it is not a problem to see a wild animal in my garden; it’s a rare and special treat and an opportunity to teach my children about the animals that share our world. Many wild animals visit my garden including a big old black bear with a scar on her head, one lonely skunk who comes at night, a momma raccoon and her three babies that rest in my big maple tree, two rock doves who roost in the maple tree, a couple of squirrels and recently a small and skittish coyote who never stays long enough for me to get a good look at him. My children, wife and I are fascinated by these creatures. We consider visits by wild animals as an indication that we are good stewards of the natural world, and therefore animals are not afraid to visit our home. We feed some animals, like momma coon and her babies;

several techniques at once. There are no silver bullets, except the ones that kill. If you do not want animals in the yard, always hiss or yell at them as soon as you see them, so they equate your image and sound with fear. Animals can recognize and distinguish between different human faces and images. The simplest technique of all, that is highly effective at preventing foraging bears — keep all food sources and garbage secured. Store garbage inside the garage or shed, build a locked enclosure or lock the lid of the can. Simple, effective and affordable, yet so many people cannot seem to comprehend how to do this. And do not put your garbage out before it is time. It’s not about your convenience, it is about protecting everyone. I mean, really: What is the problem here? Arrogance or ignorance or both? For raccoons, squirrels, skunks and other small animals you can blast them with water from the hose when you see them so they equate your image and the water with fear. There are various noisemaking devices on the market that are motion activated.

Dig Deep

Todd Major lord knows it’s hard to feed a family these days so we like to help out. Other animals we do not feed, like bears, more for their safety than ours. I can appreciate how scared some people feel when bears, cougars or coyotes visit. It can be a dangerous and frightening experience in some instances, but it doesn’t have to be with proper planning to accommodate wildlife instead of being unprepared. Here are some simple solutions that can accommodate and prevent wildlife visits to your garden. Whatever you do to prevent animals from coming into your yard, you need to implement an integrated control system that uses

When the problem animal approaches, their motion activates the sound maker and it scares them off. Exclusion is a fundamental concept in pest management and many wildlife nuisance problems could be solved if people who live along forested areas would install barriers to prevent animals from accessing their property. Plant thorny, densely growing hedges like berberis or pyracantha, install fencing, plant stumps in a barrier format or build water features like a ditch or moat to prevent animals from entering.

Welcome nature into your garden space From page 19

odd to build a moat but a friend of mine had a longterm problem with deer and bears, so she built a 20-footwide ditch along the forested perimeter of her land, she fenced the remainder of her property and the problem went away. Try the various animal repellent products to see how they work. Have a dog on duty

— a big, manly dog not some little pixie that is seen as food by wild animals. Very effective but not for everyone. Wind chimes may work, especially if the chimes have very reﬂective surfaces that

ﬂash in the sunlight to scare away animals. Obviously, this does not work at night, but remember: integrate your controls. Live trap animals and relocate them; this is highly effective and humane.

Do not grow plants that animals like to eat. Unfortunately, this is not a great option but it does work. My family realizes that welcoming nature into our garden is a little unusual,

Parenting Today Kathy Lynn

OVER the weekend my husband, our adult children and I were playing a game of Trivial Pursuit. We came up against a term we couldn’t deﬁne. The kids turned to each other and laughed, saying:, “I guess we’d better look it up.” When they were little, the phrase “look it up” was a mantra we parents recited whenever our kids looked to us for instant answers. When they were kids, they would run to the bookcase for a dictionary or an encyclopedia. On this occasion, out came their phones and they went to an online resource.

NEWS photo Cindy Goodman

PROVIDING children with educational resources will allow them to take charge of their learning. If we want our kids to pursue wanting to learn we need to create a learning environment. Part of that is helping them to take responsibility for their own learning. Hence, rather than deﬁne a word, they’d be told to look it up. If they needed more information we were always happy to take them to the library and get the appropriate books. Today we would work with them to ﬁnd the information online. Once they’ve gathered the new information make sure you let them tell you

about the exciting new thing they’ve just learned. It’s also important to let the kids see you look it up. Whether it’s a cookbook, a hobby oriented magazine, the daily newspaper or the Internet, make sure they’re aware that you learn by checking out the resources. This kind of learning-rich environment will beneﬁt your kids throughout their entire lives. There’s a common expression that refers to children as sponges. They soak up all they see and

experience. We can work to inﬂuence the quality of ideas, experiences and conversations they are soaking up. Part of that is giving them the resources and letting them take charge of their learning. When we tell them to go look up a word they don’t understand, we are teaching them to be curious and to learn. Our job is to ensure that they have the resources to do the learning. So, whether they have See Child page 35

JUST-PICKED bounty from Okanagan farms had a starring role in last weekend’s Feast of Fields, held at Brock Farm in Okanagan Falls. Top right, Dana Ewart slices homemade bread; right, the event was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

THE air has changed.

Two weeks ago, early morning still held warmth from the day before; there was little escape from the weight of it, fans circled around the clock pushing heavy heat momentarily away from their blades. Now, although the day

is warm, morning lays cool, damp ﬁngerprints on the grass, on skin, in the air. This is high summer; fall is coming. It’s my favourite time of year — there’s an expectation of things to come, renewed energy, and best of all, an abundance of ripe, fresh things to eat. It’s the start of harvest time. The best way to mark the occasion? It’s a no-brainer for me. Feast of Fields is FarmFolkCityFolk’s largest annual fundraiser, an openair wandering festival of bites and sips from the region’s producers. Last weekend I headed east with my ragtag band of food lovers (aka my husband and two boys) to take in the second-annual Okanagan version of the event. This year, it was held at Brock Farm, historic cherry

The weather was perfect: as if planned, ragged wisps of cumulus cloud periodically offered cool cover from the sun, and a sold-out crowd meandered from table to table, sampling bites made with just-harvested produce and wines poured for them by the winemakers themselves. I love this event. We collected our wine glasses and napkins at the gate and headed for Tent 1, where Dana Ewart of Penticton’s Joy Road Catering made a convincing argument for keeping things simple with pane con tomate, a Spanish snack of toasted home-baked bread, fresh Amelia olive oil, heirloom tomatoes so sweet they’d have passed as candy and a perfect sprinkling of basil and salt. With it we sipped sparkling wine from Blue Mountain, the winery

adjacent to Brock Farm. (The boys, of course, sipped water.) At the same table, chef Ned Bell of Cabana Bar & Grille was dishing up juicy wine-fed Sezmu beef sirloin with crisp fries straight out of a table-top spin fryer, while around the corner, Summerland’s Waterfront Restaurant served creamy butter chicken. There were sweet, ripe tomatoes everywhere — and I’m not complaining. At Tent 2, the Okanagan Chefs Association plated BLT gougeres, with Sungold tomatoes, wild boar bacon, arugula and a cippolini onion vinaigrette. Bonﬁre Restaurant & Bar used heirlooms in the salsa on their Cobb salad sandwich, and at the Summerhill Winery tent, chefs were skewering whole

■ Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic, by Anna Getty. Published by Chronicle Books, $29.95.

THERE is a green revolution going on and while Anna Getty may not look like a revolutionary, she is deﬁnitely a champion for the cause. In a world that seems to be constantly moving faster, Getty’s favourite word is balance and she believes that much of it can be achieved through the food choices we make. Her recommendations for choosing organic foods are backed up with information on the use of chemicals in the non-organic variety. Products such as coffee, strawberries, and tomatoes found in most kitchens are commonly exposed to heavy doses of pesticides whereas the organic version is grown pesticide-

free. This is much more than just a cookbook although there are many great recipes included. What Getty offers is solid advice on making advances towards a greener lifestyle. Simple decisions like to not buy any more plastic mixing bowls because when heated chemicals can leach out into the food. There are plenty of suggestions throughout the book to help you consider greener approaches. Starters, soups, salads, main dishes, side dishes and deserts are all presented in easy to follow recipes and beautiful colour photographs. Along

with the recipes are loads of interesting bits of information on organics that will make you more informed in your house and food choices.

■ Food Presentation Secrets, By Cara Hobday and Jo Denbury. Published by Fireﬂy Books, $29.95.

THE meal that is served to you in a ﬁne restaurant will likely taste delicious, but it is the presentation that takes it beyond the average. In recent years chefs have boldly created new techniques

and styles for giving food a visual ﬂair that goes far beyond the ordinary. Authors Hobday and Denbury have combined their writing and food stylist talents to create this extraordinary guide to food presentation. Beginning with basic concepts such as utilizing colour, texture and shape they explain in detail all the foundations of outstanding presentation. A section devoted to the necessary tools and gadgets opens the door to following their extensive technique directory. Over 70 images show the ﬁnal display of a wide range of foods. Each technique is described in detail further in the book with stepby-step instructions. Creating pastry baskets, vegetable undersquares, bread croute are just few of the secrets that are revealed. Dozens of garnishes are described along with suggested uses for all of the courses you might serve. If you are ready to take your own cooking to an entirely new level Hobday and Denbury will be your guides.

tomatoes and dipping them in balsamic glaze like a candy apple. Colour came courtesy of other ingredients too. Chef Rod Butters of Raudz Regional Table served pretty raspberry-cured snapper in a ﬂatbread wrap with potato and corn salad and Lake Breeze Vineyards dished up pulled pork on bell pepper cornbread (well matched with both their own rosé and pinot noir, of course). At Tent 7, we loaded up on tiny soufﬂés made with Poplar Grove Tiger Blue cheese by Victoria Road Deli & Bistro’s Roger Gillespie, then rounded the corner for killer bite-size sausage coil on mustard red onion jam and smoked tomato chutney. That last was a prefect pairing with the Joie Farm PTG. In all there were roughly 30 food tables and almost the same number of wineries and breweries — too many to indulge in everything, though I gave it my all. Mark the Okanagan feast on your calendar now for 2011, but don’t fear, you haven’t lost your chance to celebrate the harvest this year. The Lower Mainland Feast of Fields will unfold at Wellbrook Winery, part of Bremner Farm in Delta. The second generation, 55-acre farm with a restored grainery store and family home is wellknown for growing the fruit for then producing and bottling some of Canada’s best juices; at the event, guests will have ample opportunity to sip and see for themselves. Joining the host farm is a spread of celebrated participants, including A Bread Affair, Savoury Chef, Dirty Laundry Vineyard, Victoria Spirits, Two Chefs and a Table and The Pointe

TASTY bites at the Okanagan Feast of Fields included raspberry-cured snapper from Raudz Regional Table and pane con tomate from Joy Road catering. Restaurant, to name just a few. As for the menu, a few teasers include Gold Sponsor Choices Markets’ Bremner’s cranberry juice and 7 Seas Coho salmon ceviche; Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie’s beef shortribs, hoisin, scallions, pickled cucumber, and roasted peanuts on a steamed bun; Raincity Grill’s poached salmon on green lentils with North Arm Farm shaved vegetable salad and Babes Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette; La Belle Auberge’s terrine of David Wood’s goat cheese, Bremner Foods’ blueberries and a salad of Gemini tomatoes from Origin Organic Farms. A complete list of participants — and a few more menu items — can be found at www.feastofﬁelds.com. The ﬁnal feast of the year will take place on Sunday, Sept. 19 on Vancouver

Island at Parry Bay Sheep Farm in Metchosin. Net proceeds from all three events support FarmFolkCityFolk year-round as they work to create a sustainable food system for British Columbia. ■■■ If you’re looking for another reason to visit the Okanagan before fall ofﬁcially arrives, The Naramata Bench Winery Association is holding its seventh annual Tailgate Party — where wine-lovers and winemakers get together and for a casual evening with a friendly atmosphere — on Saturday, Sept. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. The tailgates will drop on The Commons at Naramata Centre, right in the heart of Naramata Village with free shuttles between Penticton and Naramata for ticket holders, plus plenty of parking.

She finished 149th out of 1,050 starters and was the eighth woman to cross the finish line and the second Canadian. Saibil is grateful for the support of friends and family as well as North Shore businesses, including Yogapod, which contributed $300, raised through a karma class.

The 10-kilometre run, walk or bike event was held in the spring in Port Coquitlam. Funds raised will go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. ••• North Vancouver resident Amineddin Memarnejad was among the B.C. participants in a recent 2010 Skills Canada competition. The B.C.

Child will feel pride of a job well done

From page 26

Internet access to dictionaries and encyclopedias, or hard copy access or you can send or take them to the library, the point is to teach them that asking questions, following up from those questions and moving forward with their new learnings is both possible and fun. It isn’t just about academic learning. Letting a three-year-old dress herself is creating a learning environment. As she struggles to get her arm through the sleeve of her sweater she learns how to do the job in the easiest way possible and once the sweater is comfortably on, she can feel the pride of a job well done. Next time she is faced with a challenge she will give it a try. Creating a learning environment for our children does not have to be an onerous undertaking. It’s simply seeing the opportunities for teaching. Invite the kids to help cook dinner and talk about nutrition. Why do you choose the range of foods you are planning to serve? Or have them help in the garden and talk about plants. When you are travelling

you can encourage the kids to read the tour books or follow the map online. They can take charge of determining the next town that is likely to have a good motel, campground or restaurant. Or they can be

mapping out the route to a pre-determined location. With younger kids you can tell them stories about where you are or whom you are planning to visit or show them some interesting features of the landscape.

Colin and Mary Hardie

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words Justin Sorensen - 68 I’m a small town B.C. guy – born and raised in Parksville on Vancouver Island. I began playing football while attending high school at Ballenas Secondary and because of my size I was a natural fit on the offensive line. In fact, I did so well that I was named my team’s Most Valuable Player in my senior season. Following my high school graduation, I had an opportunity to head south to continue my education and play football for the University of South Carolina in the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference, which features some of the most competitive college football in the United States. After playing four years on the Gamecocks’ offensive line, I had a newfound appreciation for my adopted home but was nonetheless excited to return to British Columbia to don the black and orange as the Lions’ first-round selection in the 2008 CFL draft. I’d seen firsthand what playing in front of some of the most passionate football fans is all about and I knew I’d see similar support from Lions fans back home in B.C. Now in my second season on the Leos’ offensive line, I feel privileged to come to work every day and play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to bring the Grey Cup home to British Columbia and share that experience with my family and friends. Through thick and thin, the guys on the offensive line have become family to me and I’m proud of the contributions we make on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of playing professional football from a young age, I remember looking up to athletes for inspiration. For that reason, I enjoy taking part in the Lions’ community programs throughout the year, particularly the Terasen Gas Energy Champions initiative. It gives me a feeling of pride to give back to the local community and know that in some small way I could be having a positive influence on the younger generation.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY

Bell and Roper net gold at basketball nationals Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

NORTH Vancouver’s Stephanie Bell and Kolbi Roper helped the British Columbia provincial team claim gold at the girls under-17 basketball championships held Aug. 2-7 in Toronto.

Sevens is played in a tournament structure, which contributes to the festive atmosphere. Since sevens has been introduced as an Olympic sport, the B.C. government has decided to invest in the future of the sport by encouraging a series of sevens tournaments. Weller hopes that the events will attract fans, which in turn could foster interest in the sport. “The fact that it’s the short format of the game, it’s a lot more exciting in terms of attacking and scoring opportunities, that makes it a little bit more attractive.” In other cities around the world, such as

Bell, the team’s captain, led the way in a thrilling 8075 double overtime win over Ontario in the championship final. The six-foot forward from Argyle secondary racked up a team-high 16 points along with 11 rebounds and two blocks as B.C. avenged an 81-59 loss to Ontario earlier in the tournament. Roper, a six-one forward from Carson Graham, nearly notched a double-double of her own in the final as she collected nine points and nine rebounds. The North Shore was also represented on the boys side as the provincial under-17 and under-15 teams both scored bronze medals at the national championships held Aug. 2-7 in Winnipeg. Six-five Argyle forward Wes Dekleer and six-four guard Reiner Theil, a West Vancouver resident who attends Vancouver College, suited up for the B.C. squad that finished third in the

WEST Vancouver’s Klahanie Park saw a lot of action Aug. 14 during the Capilano 7s Tournament. The Capilano Rugby Football Club played host, hoping the event would attract new fans and players.

Sevens is a popular form of rugby internationally, and has been voted in as a summer Olympic sport for the 2016 games in Rio. Unlike regular rugby games, sevens features teams with just seven players a side, resulting in a high tempo, heart-thumping

contest. “From a local perspective for sevens, it’s always been more of a social kind of summertime activity as opposed to a regular focus,” says Tony Weller, one of CRFC’s directors. “The interesting thing about sevens is that you’re using a regular-size rugby field but you only have seven players per team as opposed to fifteen so there’s a lot of extra space on the field, and each game has two halves of seven minutes each, so it’s fast and furious.”

Capilano club gives sevens a try

From page 37

Hong Kong and Las Vegas, sevens has emerged as a fun, raucous event with a strong fan following. When asked about Vancouver’s ability to keep pace with sevens events in other cities, Weller admits that we have some catching up to do. According to traditional belief, rugby sevens was started in 1883 by a Scottish butcher to raise funds for his rugby club. It was believed that the traditional game, with 15 players, would take too much time and thus would not be ideal for a quick fundraiser. Rugby Canada traces its history back to 1860, and credits its early growth in part to the Royal Navy in Esquimalt. Rugby Canada, the sport’s national association, was incorporated in 1974 and has seen our nation’s rugby-playing population ﬂourish. North Shore folk looking for a fancy job title could sign up for the Capilano club and quickly become a tight-head prop, loose-head prop, hooker, scrum half, ﬂy half, center, or wing. Job descriptions include “destroying” (disrupting the opposition’s offense), and “creating” (making an initial move that “undisciplines” opponents). With descriptions like those local kids might just think you’re a super hero . . . or villain. Visit www.capilanorfc.com for more information on Capilano’s sevens program.

If you hear this from outside your window at night, you are probably hearing a Barred Owl. Owl facts: • There are over 200 kinds of owls, some on every continent except for Antarctica • Owls are raptors - birds of prey, as are hawks and eagles • They range in size from the Elf Owl (4.5 inches tall) to the Eurasian Eagle Owl (28 inches tall) • A group of owls is called a parliament • Most are monogamous; they mate for life • Owls are not migratory and stay in the same area for their entire lives • They are zygodactyls, meaning that when they perch, two toes face forward and two face backward • Small tufts of head feathers are called ear tufts, but have nothing to do with hearing • Female owls are larger than males • BC has 15 species of owl; the most common in our area is the Barred Owl.
