Edgemont fire caused by roof fixes Water damages businesess after propane torches start blaze NIALL SHANNON nshannon@nsnews.com

Propane torches used by rooftop renovators caused a fire at a commercial block in Edgemont Village on Monday night, resulting in water damage to two businesses.

Curtis Bremner, assistant fire chief with the District of North Vancouver, said roofers had been hired by the

property manager to prevent roof leaks and used propane torches in the process.

“You use a propane fire torch to heat up the roofing material so it bonds effectively to the other material and creates the water proof membrane,” said Bremner.

“So when you apply heat at an old building, and you’re not carefully watching it for a period of time, this sort of thing may happen.”

The fire affected businesses in the 3107 to 3109 Edgemont Boulevard, including Capilano Barber and See Fire page 3

Some choices are hard.

The re-development of the Lynn Valley mall — which initially seemed fated for a long and contentious debate — barely made a ripple on its way through first reading at a District of North Vancouver council meeting Monday evening.

If the project is successful, the Zellers building at Lynn Valley Mall will be demolished to make room for six towers between four and 12

storeys.

The 4.8 acre development proposal includes 377 apartments and 22 townhouses. The height of the buildings ranges from 55 to 150 feet.

Four of the towers will sit on a one-storey commercial component that will add 50,000 square feet of new commercial space to the neighbourhood.

Besides the Zellers, the project would also swallow up the former District of North Vancouver library.

Fire spread quickly in structure From page 1

Edgemont Gourmet Meats.

The fire was spotted at around 6 p.m. Monday evening.

“The fire started near the base of the parapet wall and progressed up the parapet wall for about 20 feet on either side,” said Bremner.

“So there’s significant damage to that structure.”

The firefighters opened up the roof and a few of the parapet’s walls and extinguished the fire quickly, said Bremner.

However, in the process of extinguishing the fire and checking to see if the fire had spread elsewhere,

Parole law struck by court

Bremner said some minor water and foam damage had occurred to businesses below.

Bremner said that the age of the building contributed to the spread of the fire and warned that workers need to be more cautious around older structures.

“When you’re using heat around an old structure, extra care must be taken to prevent fire. It’s a very old, very dry building, and you’re applying a flame to it as part of your repair process,” said Bremner.

“So don’t leave the site until you’re absolutely certain that there is no fire.”

Project welcomed by businesses From page 1

JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

The Supreme Court of Canada has sided with a North Vancouver weapons dealer in declaring part of the federal government’s toughon-crime legislation unconstitutional.

The case concerned whether taking away the chance for early parole for people who have already been sentenced violated their rights by subjecting them to double jeopardy or extra punishment.

In a ruling handed down last week, a panel of justices from Canada’s top court ruled that the legislation amounted to an added penalty.

The Supreme Court upheld two lower court rulings that found retroactively taking away the right to early parole amounted to punishing offenders “again” for their crimes by lengthening the time they faced behind bars.

The challenge to the Conservative law was launched by Christopher See Retroactive page 8

A non-profit society will likely end up operating six units of affordable housing in the project.

The package also includes a developer contribution to the municipality including $1.6 million for transportation improvements, $500,000 for public art, and trail improvements, with a total value of $4.5 million.

Council previously approved a maximum height of 12 storeys, but may not have taken into account that a commercial storey is roughly 10 feet taller than a residential storey, noted Coun. Lisa Muri.

Council should cap the height at 12 storeys or 130 feet, according to frequent council watcher Hazen Colbert.

One resident produced a petition with the signatures of 1,500 residents in support for the project.

For those who see the derelict Zellers as a concrete eyesore, the project is very good news.

“I’ll be very glad to see this redevelopment go ahead,” said John Gilmore.

The project also received a boost from David Hewitson, who manages a store in the mall.

“I can unequivocally say

at least 85 to 90 per cent of everybody that comes by are 150 per cent in favour of this,” he said.

The mall is in dire need of the development, according to Hewitson.

“It’s like a morgue in there lately,” he said.

The entire project would have a Floor Space Ratio of 2.36, which measures the development’s total floor space against the area of the lot.

Richard Hancock, who opposed a large development in the City of North Vancouver, lauded Bosa for submitting a project that falls well below the district’s maximum allowable floor space ratio of 3.5 for the area.

Hancock also noted Bosa’s “pristine reputation” for quality projects.

The project’s commercial element may be very successful, exceeding the popularity of Zellers, suggested Coun.

Doug MacKay-Dunn. That popularity means district staff may need to revisit traffic projections, he said.

MacKay-Dunn has previously noted that Lynn Valley residents are tired of worsening traffic congestions caused by development.

A public hearing on the project is set for April 15.

Coun. Mike Little did not attend the meeting.

Man charged in ‘model’ agent case BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Richmond RCMP officers have arrested a man they allege is responsible for a number of sexual assaults, including one that happened on the North Shore.

After a lengthy investigation spanning four of the Lower Mainland’s RCMP jurisdictions, Novid Dadman, 28, of Richmond is facing a 11 charges including sexual assault, breaking and entering, theft and fraud dating back to 2008.

Police say Dadmand would befriend his victims on social media posing

as modelling agent and then convince them to meet for a photo shoot in exchange for money or gifts. Dadmand would then use the ruse to assault and/ or steal from his victims, police allege. Investigators caught up with him after several similar reports came in from Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, and North Vancouver in October 2013, according to court documents.

Police note Dadmand also went by the alias Robert Peako.

A tipline has been set up for other potential victims at 604-207-4762.

None of the charges against Dadmand have been proven in court.

Sled dog Louie returns home Canine escapee captured after nine days on the lam

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

After spending nine nights running feral in the North Shore backcountry and prompting a herculean search effort, a former Whistler sled dog is back home with his owners in NorthVancouver.

Louie, a lab-husky mix, slipped his collar and bolted in Princess Park on March 13. After long hours searching and sleepless nights spent listening to Louie howl and bark from the edge of Grouse Mountain, owner Scott Robarts found him Saturday morning.

“We got him,” Robarts said on Monday, “The vet said he’s fine. He’s got some chafing on his legs but otherwise he’s good.

He lost about 10 pounds but I would say he’s not as emaciated as we thought he would be.”

Dozens of volunteers came out to help find Louie over the nine days he was missing and social media alerts about him spread into the thousands. Beyond

the volunteer dog trackers and North Shore Rescue members who came out to search, Robarts also enlisted the help of Jaime Hargreaves Louie’s former owner, who came down from Whistler, bringing Louie’s former sled dog team with her and a favourite stew, hoping the familiar smells would draw him out of hiding. Robarts put Louie’s crate off trail near the Grouse Grind on Friday night and was preparing to bait a live trap on Saturday morning.When he arrived with the bait, there was Louie, having a rest in his kennel.

Robarts fought the urge to dash over to him, knowing that Louie had gone feral.

“I just wanted to rush over there and put his collar on and rush him home but I dragged it out for probably about 30 minutes, this process of approaching him because I didn’t want to frighten him off.What was going through my head was ‘OK, I can’t screw this up’,” he said. “He’s probably slippery as an eel if he wants to be and if I scare him, he’ll

bolt and then we’re back at square one.”

Robarts has come away from the experience with an even warmer view of his North Shore neighbours.

“A whole bunch of people from the community that we didn’t even know before helped with this. One of the amazing lessons that

we’ll take away from this is what kind of community we live in. People cared so much.”

To those who might lose their dog in the backcountry, Robarts has some advice: “If your dog runs off and you start to worry about it, it’s important to stay calm because the dogs sense that.”

Harm production

I

n the wake of the damning audit of the Portland Hotel Society, there’s been a feeding frenzy condemning former directors and managers for their excess.

And there is certainly much to condemn, including an almost complete lack of accountability and a fingers-in-thecookie-jar approach to self-reward that is shocking in an organization that exists significantly off public funding.

Questionable expenses included $69,00 in high-end restaurant bills, trips to Hawaii and Disneyland, a cruise down the Danube, spa treatments and booze purchases. The society also seemingly set up their books to defy any meaningful oversight.

The scorn and outrage justifiably aimed at the society has been palpable.

It’s not that there have never been bigger fish guilty of worse offences at the public

MAILBOX

trough. But as an organization supposedly devoted to the poor, this society was supposed to be better than that.

Instead, they came to see themselves as entitled.

Their actions have resulted in a huge sense of betrayal.

While the sins of the wicked pierce our side, the sins of the righteous pierce our heart.

One of the saddest fallouts of the sorry affair is it has given plenty of ammunition for those who would love to cut public funding for similar endeavours, regardless of the good they do.

It will have a real and negative impact on the most vulnerable people the society was supposed to help — perhaps for years to come. For that, those associated with this sordid affair have only themselves to blame.

Gold-rush mentality afflicts NV developers Dear Editor: I write this letter as a concerned resident of the North Shore.

The North Shore appears to be experiencing a Klondike-style “gold rush.”

It’s bonanza time for developers and realtors!

In their frenzy to clone Metrotown, they stalk our neighbourhoods, preying on older and “surplus” properties, many of which could be sympathetically

restored rather than demolished to make way for newer, trendier, denser developments.

The scale of this expansion is destroying our heritage and changing the character of local communities forever.

Watch out, Lynn Valley and Edgemont Village!

And what is the cost to those of us who call the North Shore home?

What is the cost to the environment? To the air we

breathe? To our wildlife?

And to our health — and sanity?

Too much of a good thing is bad for us — it’s a well-known fact — and this applies to development and densification, which are spiralling out of control.

I also wonder how disaster proof these towers will turn out to be when tested for real — in an earthquake or fire, for example.

It really is time to focus on the infrastructure (e.g. hospitals, transit, roads, law enforcement, shopping) needed to support this accelerated growth. This issue has been raised repeatedly — and repeatedly sidestepped or trivialized.

Our councils must take the lead and work with our provincial and federal governments to raise awareness of the problems and to tackle

them sensitively and expeditiously. Scrap the official community plans and replace them with action plans.

Council assets are shrinking, rezoning applications are growing — and our patience is running out. Our municipalities, struggling to balance revenue and expenditure, allow themselves to be seduced by the “incentives” offered by developers. Who are the

winners and who are the losers?

There are plenty of viable opportunities for developers elsewhere.

Before they move on, perhaps they could express their gratitude to the community by collectively funding a new state-of-theart hospital?

Maybe it will find a cure for obsessive compulsive development disorder.

Support views on LynnValley density with accurate information Dear Editor: In the North Shore News on Sunday, March 2 there were two letters, one from a “long term resident” and another from a resident who

has “enjoyed living in the community of Lynn Valley for the past 40 years.” Both of these residents contend that there will be traffic problems with the proposed

CONTACTUS

development in Lynn Valley because there are only two ways in or out of Lynn Valley.

As a relatively new resident I know of at least four ways out of Lynn

Valley (Mountain Highway south or north, 29th Street and Lynn Valley south to Highway 1).Whether one supports low rise development, highrise or

no development I think it is important for people to make their decisions based on accurate information.

If you do not want any highrises in Lynn Valley

just state your opinion, but please support your views with information which is correct.

To LoLo or no Lo — a good question Is it Lower Lonsdale? Or LoLo? Every time we print LoLo in a story or headline, we get an irritated response from readers asking that we stop pushing the term. It is childish, derivative, and it sounds like a “candy bar, or perhaps a “saloon girl in a cheap cowboy movie,” according to some recent letters and social media responses.

The debate over what’s in a name comes as the area is going through some big changes. There’s no doubt that LoLo was part of the brand for the area as envisioned by the City of North Vancouver’s consultant Roger Brooks.

Beyond an outdoor skating rink, ferris wheel and concert stage on the waterfront, Brooks’ vision calls for a LoLo District, complete with signage and T-shirts for sale in local shops. I’m sure that was focus-grouped out the wazoo, but I didn’t find heaps of love for LoLo when I went looking.

A couple of quick and very informal polls on social media in recent weeks have drawn a largely negative response.

But there is a cadre of people who embrace LoLo because it is fun, interesting, even hilarious, and people opposed are stuffy or curmudgeonly, they’ve said.

I’ve seen it argued that LoLo is no good because, for North Vancouver’s growing Filipino community, it is the Tagalog word for grandfather. I asked Alvin Koh Relleve, president of the Filipino North

Brent Richter

Richter Scale

Vancouver Barangay, if his community members would mind.

“Not really, but it doesn’t sound good,” he said.

The earliest use of LoLo I could find in our archives dates back to 2005 when the youth centre at John Braithwaite Community Centre was dubbed the LoLo Lounge.

Also in my research: the neighbourhood has a regent, if only an unofficial one. Cath-Anne Ambrose has been nicknamed the Queen of LoLo since she was the curator of a photography show at the Café for Contemporary Art called Lovin’ LoLo. “I asked people to submit photos about what they loved about living in the neighbourhood. I had over 100 submissions and we did a show with the North Shore Heritage Society. It just kind of stuck as a nickname because I always say I live my life in a threeblock radius,” Ambrose said.

If you search the area on Google Maps, you’ll find the alley linking Lonsdale with St. Georges between First and Esplanade is labeled Lolo Lane. That followed a community-led

initiative to liven up the alley and better integrate it into the rest of the public space.

One person watching this identity crisis play out with interest is Scott McArthur, owner of Raglan’s in Lower Lonsdale, member of the waterfront visioning committee and the man who first coined the term.

More than just the blocks surrounding Lonsdale below, say, Keith Road (though it most certainly is that), LoLo is a brand that McArthur has been cultivating for years. Since it opened in 1999, Raglan’s has themed itself around surf culture and the term LoLo started turning up on restaurant’s chalkboard in the mid2000s. In Hawaii, LoLo is a colloquial expression for crazy. In Southern California, a LoLo is slang for a Chevy El Camino, a vehicle long-associated with surf culture. McArthur also founded a group of likeminded surf/skate culture friends who gather for monthly rides on lowrider bicycles.You’ll never guess what they’re called.

Now McArthur finds himself in an awkward dilemma: He can either protect the brand he developed and trademarked, like so many big corporations do, or he can let it go, much like an artist must let go of a masterpiece to let the world make of it what it will.

In all likelihood, McArthur said he will probably try to find a middle path with an aim to making “LoLo” a unifying force in the burgeoning

neighbourhood, not a divisive one.

I’m sorry I can’t make a ruling on whether LoLo ought, or ought not be.

It looks like it’s been happening at a grassroots level for some time. In

truth, we’ll probably continue using it for a much more pragmatic reason that has nothing to with identity or branding.

A headline typically holds only 30 or 40 characters and LoLo is a lifesaver on

deadline.

Only time will tell whether it will catch on.

If that doesn’t work, one Twitter user had another suggestion: South North Van. Hard to argue with that.

Retroactive changes unconstitutional From page 3

John Whaling, a North Vancouver man, who was jailed after being convicted of three gun offences.

Whaling, who used to be a verifier for the Canadian

Firearms Registry, was nabbed five years ago as part of a police investigation into a large-scale guntrafficking ring in the Lower Mainland.

When police searched Whaling’s North Vancouver

home on East Keith Road under warrant, they found a large quantity of unregistered firearms, including two 45-calibre handguns —one of which was loaded — and a MAC10 automatic pistol, as well

as machine guns in various stages of completion.

He also had a gun similar to an AK-47 that he had converted into a fully automatic weapon and stashed in a box in the woods near Squamish.

In September 2010, Whaling was sentenced to four and a half years in jail.

Because he was a first-time federal offender serving a sentence for nonviolent offences,Whaling was entitled to apply for accelerated day parole, which allows offenders to be

released on parole after just one-sixth of their sentence.

But when the federal government’s new law abolishing accelerated parole came into effect, in March of 2011,Whaling got a letter saying he was no longer eligible for the program.

According to the Supreme Court of Canada decision, the change to the law essentially extended Whaling’s time in jail by three months.

Two other inmates, who also challenged the law,

had their time behind bars extended by nine and 21 months respectively.

In May 2013, a panel of B.C. Court of Appeal justices rejected a bid by Whaling to overturn his conviction on three weapons offences.They agreed with the original trial judge that the convictions were based on “a substantial body of evidence” and that Whaling’s version of events simply wasn’t credible. Last month, the B.C. appeal court also rejected Whaling’s appeal of his sentence.

RCMP warn of tax time scam The RCMP are warning residents of the North Shore that phone scammers posing as tax collectors from the RCMP are trying to dupe residents out of their money.

Police put out the warning after several

North Vancouver residents reported they had received “suspicious” phone calls from someone claiming to be an RCMP officer. The caller told residents that thousands of dollars in back taxes are owed, then gave them an opportunity to pay as much as they

could immediately to avoid legal proceedings.

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong said the RCMP do not represent Revenue Canada as tax collectors. De Jong said never give out information to people you don’t know.

Protesters oppose pipeline plan First Nations, environmentalists join for ‘Wall ofWomen’ event ANNE WATSON awatson@nsnews.com

Protesters gathered in West Vancouver Saturday to take a stance on Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline.

Around 15 women, including representatives from the Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish and Musqueam First Nations, as well as Greenpeace campaigners, gathered for an event dubbed the “Wall of Women” in the cold and rain by The Welcome Figure at Ambleside Beach to send a message to Kinder Morgan that a pipeline expansion was not welcome.

Mandy Nahanee — who also goes by the First Nations name Shanentsut — a climate and energy outreach campaigner for Greenpeace and organizer of the event, said it was an opportunity to bring women together and strengthen their voices.

“We’re standing here

together to link arms to build the wall of women to say no, we do not want that in our communities, we will not accept this in our communities, we want better,” said Nahanee.

“Canada has a responsibility to protect their communities, we have the right to live in healthy environments— healthy environments to raise our children, to take care of our grandparents, to drink healthy water, to eat healthy food. It’s basic human rights.”

Kinder Morgan has applied to the National Energy Board to expand its pipeline from its current 300,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day to 890,000 barrels, increasing tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet from five tankers to around 34 tankers each month.

Tantoo Cardinal, who co-starred with Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves, was also present for the protest. Cardinal said she has a lot of respect for the indigenous

people on the West Coast doing their best to protect the water and marine life.

Cardinal said it’s important to draw attention to what could be threatened by the pipeline expansion.

Cardinal said people take clean water for granted and so much of it is being destroyed.

“It’s part of life force, it’s a part of our life force and it’s a part of our planet’s life force,” she said. “It’s so important to us, it’s got to be that important to her.”

Melina LaboucanMassimo, a climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace, said her family comes from one of the regions impacted by the tar sands in Northern Alberta.

She said spills, whether by tanker or along the pipeline route, are “a very clear and present danger.”

“If we continue down this path towards resource extraction, we’re kind of digging ourselves further into this hole, which is extreme fossil fuel development as opposed to going towards more renewable energy sources (and) providing green

Laboucan-Massimo said she has travelled along the routes of various pipelines and spoken to

groups about the dangers they can pose.

“It’s what we’re already experiencing in Alberta and we don’t want that to happen to communities here,” she said.

Kinder Morgan submitted an application for the expansion to the National Energy Board of

Canada on Dec. 16, 2013.

If approved, construction on the new pipeline could start as early as 2016 and be fully operational by 2017.

All three North Shore municipalities have raised concerns about the possible environmental impacts of the expansion.

Spring break means trips for families.

It also means spring cleaning.

The same applies to the tech gadgets and services in your life.They need as much care and maintenance as any of the other tools in your life if you want them to work safely and efficiently.

So make time to wipe off winter’s digital grime and get your household ready with five tech spring cleaning tips.

1) Clean up your passwords: Passwords, whether for email accounts, online stores like Amazon or even PIN codes for smartphones, are like door locks on your home, except that gangs of thieves are going around with a huge set of keys trying to see which key might fit into your home’s lock.That means it’s important to change your passwords on a regular basis, at least once every six months. If you can spend an afternoon washing the deck, you can take an hour and update all your passwords.

Do not use the same password for all of your accounts.That’s like having the same key for your house, storage shed, cottage, mailbox, all of your cars and bike locks. Do not use, as many people apparently still do, obvious choices like PASSWORD or 12345678.

That’s worse than keeping your household door open with a neon sign outside saying “ROB ME.” To make passwords

easier, use a password manager like LastPass or 1Password to randomize your passwords and store them securely where the thieves can’t get them.

2) Back up your stuff: Just as you might safely store old photo albums and family keepsakes in the attic, you should make at least one copy of the digital files that form the core of family memory in modern life.The photo gallery on your laptop from last year’s summer holiday when Uncle Charlie was still alive? Copy it to an external drive. If your laptop is stolen, destroyed in a fire or simply goes dead as a brick, those precious memories will be lost forever.

At the very least, back up your most important files to a USB stick and keep it somewhere safe.

Better still is to back up all your important files to a drive you store at the office or in a safety deposit box.

Even better, in addition to the physical drive, back up your files to online storage services like Google Drive or Onedrive, or dedicated paid backup services like Carbonite.

3) Give your computer an oil change:Your car needs maintenance in spring to help it run smoothly for the next six months. Same with your tech devices.

Update the operating systems of your computers, tablets and phones and the apps they run. Update the security software. Modern

Barry Link

Practical Geek systems like Windows 8 and Android will update your systems automatically by default, but make sure you haven’t turned that feature off.

Updates help your devices run better and keep them safe. Last month, Apple (yes, Apple) announced all of its devices had contained a horrifying security hole for some months. Apple has issued updates to fix this hole: go update your iPhone. Now. 4) Sweep up digital clutter:You might have taken 246 pictures of that summer holiday with the late Uncle Charlie, but chances are you need a quarter of those as keepsakes. And trust me, you will never, ever look at most of those pictures again.

Take a morning this spring break, grab a coffee and go through your digital photo galleries. Delete the ones you don’t need.You’ll free up valuable drive space, make your home gallery easier to use and make the

5) Recycle unused gadgets: Tech devices are some of the most offensive consumer items around for purposeful obsolescence, and as consumers, we’re trained to purchase the next shiny gadget that comes along.

That means we’re steadily acquiring a small closet of perfectly good gadgets we don’t use anymore.

Don’t keep them around and don’t send them to

the landfill. Recycle them through an appropriate agency (see return-it.ca for a list). If you’ve got unused computers or computer parts, donate them to Free Geek Vancouver (freegeekvancouver.org), an excellent non-profit which recycles unused computers and parts for people in need.

Everyone deserves a clean spring.

Front yards make an important impression TODD MAJOR Contributing writer

When it comes to landscaping your home, backyards are usually given more attention than the rest of the yard.

However, the traditional role of the front yard is changing as we grow to be more sustainable and lowmaintenance and change is a good thing in the garden.

The front yard provides the first impression your

guests and community members enjoy, or not, and to that end, here are some of the basic guidelines for landscaping the front yard as well as a few unusual ideas to consider.

The basics: Firstly, make

the house visually appealing to the public’s view while complementing the home’s design. Planting should not overwhelm the house and the house should not overwhelm the landscape — in other words, design for

Creating curb appeal: Colour, texture and proportional balance all play a role in creating curb appeal. If you’re selling your home, adding some annuals, fresh mulch and trimming the lawn may be all that is needed. But for the long-term homeowner, curb appeal is more than cleanliness and splashes of colour. Flowers are fleeting but leaf texture provides a continuous visual presence so choose well-designed plantings that are interesting in more than one season to create a sense of place yearround. Choose shrubs that have beautiful foliage yearround, like rhododendron, and trees that have interesting bark in winter.

Strategically place annuals and perennials to provide colour from views inside the house and for community benefit.

When it comes to lawn, well . . . lawn is so 1950s and we are moving past it as a medium for our landscaping

balance.This is a difficult task to achieve in an era of overbearing monster homes. Secondly, plant trees to screen unwanted outward views and to create favourable inward views of the home. Please do not plant large-growing trees under power lines.Thirdly, for plantings against the house, known as foundation plantings, choose plants that grow to a mature size that will not exceed onethird to half of the height from the ground to the first roof gutter.This will keep plantings in proportion to the house.

Fourthly, use less grass and more planting beds at a proportion of 70 per cent bed and 30 per cent lawn (preferably no lawn but people still like grass so we have to be realistic).

More planting beds will provide greater visual interest and more beds will improve the proportional balance between home and landscape, making the property look fuller, richer and more balanced. Design to create a clear view of the front door so visitors

HOME Gardening is about individual expression

From page 14 creativity. However, some lawn can assist in acting as the void space that sets off the solid planting space.

The key is to find a balance as previously mentioned.

Nothing creates better curb appeal than a mulched planting bed because mulch is the canvas that unifies the painting (landscaping).

Fit the house into the landscape: Gordon Hayward said, “Houses should be in, rather than on the landscape.” Hayward is a landscape designer, writer and lecturer from Vermont and his quote aptly describes the relationship between home and the landscape.

In some cases landscapes are allowed to overgrow the home but more commonly houses simply dominate the landscape.

Finding balance begins with proper plant selection, meaning the right plant for the right place. Choose plants suited

However, a giant cedar tree right next to the front door is going to be problematic visually and from a maintenance standpoint. Alternately, a small little crab apple tree lost out in the lawn provides no benefit to scale.

Ideas for free thinkers: Gardening today is about individual expression, sustainability and lowmaintenance. Many free

thinkers have pushed the boundaries of what is traditionally acceptable for the front yard to create beautiful and welcoming spaces that include no lawn boulevards, veggie beds, artistic fences, water gardens, rock gardens and more. A few of us have even eliminated all lawn and replaced it with privacy plantings that surround patios for entertaining, which can be especially useful if you have a small backyard but larger front yard, or a backyard that is heavily shaded and the front yard is sunny and warm.

Rules are one thing but

HOME Follow individuality to create beauty From page 15

gardening and landscaping your home is really a form of creative expression, an idea that needs wider acceptance.

Perhaps if we change our mindset to become a little more free-thinking, we can follow our individuality to create beauty in our front yards.

As much as you would like to deny it, you probably have a drawer in your kitchen filled with everything.

Scissors, tape measure and nails are just a few of the items that we tend to toss into a drawer in a hurry.

Inevitably, the next time we go to retrieve the scissors they are lost in the oblivion of unorganized mess.

So what is the solution?

I’ve always found that staying ahead of the mess before it takes over your life is the best way to manage it. Let’s take that drawer in the kitchen for instance.

Before you haphazardly toss those scissors in, why not have a designated spot for them to go? Next time you find yourself walking by a dollar store, take the time to actually go inside and purchase four or five of the inexpensive metal or plastic drawer organizers. Estimate what size container would fit into your kitchen drawer.

Long, narrow ones are great for rulers, pencils and scissors.The shorter versions are great for paper clips, staples and tape measures.

The drawer will actually function in an organized manner once the items are placed in their designated containers.

The trick with storing small items is to keep them in containers.This rule applies to small kitchen

6,,-"7' 4)8<,)& .)'87"/,4 <"99 ,7&!), 0.! 587 +74 <%8$ 0.!#), 9..="7' *.) "7 8 (8&%1 2;3:3 MIKE WAKEFIELD items, such as tea bags, and loose spices as well. Clear, see-through containers are the best for easy access.

Is your jewelry a mess?

Believe it or not a standard tie rack doubles beautifully as a jewelry organizer.

Eliminate those nasty jewelry tangles by hanging your necklaces and beads on the little hooks. If you mount the rack horizontally on the inside of a closet you will have easy access to it at all times.

If your pot cupboard is a mess you can organize it in minutes by simply nesting your bowls, pots and pans inside each other.This will not only make the pots appear neat and tidy but will free up useable space in your cupboard. Attempt to group things together rather than spreading them separately through the cupboard.

Store your best dinnerware and cookware in cupboards using paper plates.The very thin, inexpensive variety is wonderful for stacking between your plates and pans.This will help prevent any scratches over time.

Lastly, a little trick that caterers use is to stack your plates as high as six or eight and then wrap them all very tightly with some clear plastic wrap.This will not only lessen the risk of scratches, but will also keep the dust off the plates so you won’t need to wash them before your next function.

This works beautifully with dishware that is only used from time to time.

• Spirit Trail – Work on the Spirit Trail from St. Georges Avenue, through Moodyville Park, and over East 3rd Street furthers the City of North Vancouver’s vision to have a multi-use and fully accessible greenway that will provide pedestrians, cyclists, inline skaters and people with wheeled mobility aids, access across the North Shore.

• Train Whistle Cessation – The St. Andrews and St. Patricks at-grade crossings are now closed to the public and as a result, have reduced the need for CN Rail to whistle upon approach. Noise impacts have been significantly reduced.

• Public Art – Art works embossed in concrete will be installed on the Spirit Trail Overpass abutment and along a portion of the Low Level Road retaining wall.

PARENTING

Encourage kids to identify strengths How well do you know your children?

Each of our kids is unique with their own special talents and sometimes we overlook identifying their particular strengths.

The better we know them, the more we can encourage them to take part in activities in which they will excel.The more they excel the better they are going to feel about themselves. Success breeds success.

I recall one time when we were house hunting and our pre-teen kids were interested in the houses we were visiting. At one point we went into a house that was empty of furniture.

As most of us are aware, it can be more challenging to imagine living in a room that is currently empty. But not for my daughter. She commented that she prefers to look at an empty room.

She explained when a room contains furniture she has to remove it all in her mind and then furnish it with her own belongings.

I was floored. I had never realized she had such a well-developed sense of space. And I told her that she was unique in this. She was surprised as well. She thought everyone saw the world the same way she does.

Thinking about our children’s talents is an interesting exercise.Think about them emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually.You might be surprised what occurs to you.

Talk to others who know your children.Their caregivers, grandparents,

Parenting Today teachers or coaches will have noticed traits you may not have identified.

Simply paying attention works well.We get so busy with the day-to-day hustle and bustle of simply getting out of the house in the morning and homework, dinner and bedtime in the evening, that we miss just simply watching our kids.

If you want to identify your kids’ talents, pay particular attention to how they handle different situations and what choices they make.When does he seem happiest?

When is he really focused and engaged?

Then listen to him.

Take him out for lunch and ask him what he thinks he’s good at.What school subjects does he love or hate? What books does he like best? Why? What hobbies would he like to pursue? Let him talk and you simply listen. As he talks he may find himself discovering activities he wishes he could pursue. Or he may become aware of strengths he didn’t know he had.

Once you have identified strengths in your child pay attention and comment when you see a particularly

unique behaviour.The trick is to note the positive qualities you have identified, not those you wish he had.

When he was born you had visions of Saturday afternoons at the edge of the soccer field watching your son take the ball down the field and into the net. But after paying strict attention to his choices and talking to the other adults in his life, you know that soccer is not for him. His strength is in creativity and he loves to paint and draw.

Sit down with him and help him identify times when he can use his talent.

Would he like to take a painting course? Maybe he could approach the drama class to see if they need set designers.

If he is not used to seeing himself as a creative person, he may not see opportunities to use his ability.

When you offer suggestions, remember they are just that. Let him demur if he wishes. Give him time to think about what he wants to do. But do plant some suggestions.

Focus on his creative efforts. “Martin, the drawing you did as part of your last school project is really interesting. It makes your presentation much more dynamic and alive.”

When you encourage your kid’s strengths you’re also accepting him unconditionally for the unique person he truly is.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Staff table sparks fond memories

Chris Dagenais

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents Mexicanthemed recipes. page 32

I arrived at Hachi Hana Japanese Restaurant about half an hour before closing one recent evening.

A table near the back of the small restaurant was populated with kitchen and service staff sharing a bite to eat and a drink or two.

The scene reminded me of my time working in restaurants and the strong camaraderie that develops between co-workers following the rigours of meal service. I remember these organic bonding moments fondly and was tempted to ask if I could join the staff table just to hear a few industry stories and bask for a moment in that dinner rush afterglow experienced by restaurant workers the world over. Of course, I would have been an interloper in that scene, having done nothing to earn my place at the table, so instead I took a seat at the sushi bar.

After considering the

menu for a few moments I placed my dinner order with my server, who was amicable despite my relatively late arrival. About three dishes into my order, however, she began to giggle with that sort of infectious, involuntary laughter that makes it impossible to suppress a grin of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own. She was set off by the reaction of the staff members at the nearby table, who had been listening to my meal choices with growing incredulity.

The sushi chef behind the bar, meanwhile, smirked wryly and began to pack up his knives. My dinner order, you see, contained no sushi items whatsoever, requiring instead the attention of the kitchen staff, which was evidently seated around the aforementioned table.

I relay this scene to illustrate an observation, namely that in Vancouver the term Japanese restaurant has become virtually synonymous with sushi.This equation is not surprising, really, given the high quality of local seafood, widespread concern over more sensible food choices, and the enduring stylishness of this culinary method. It was against considerable odds, See Tentsuyu page 32

TASTE

Mexican menu made easier think you’ll find that the enchiladas and rice are just as tasty as the “real thing.” I’m not even going to pretend the dessert is an authentic Mexican recipe (and I usually steer clear of using refrigerated rolls) but it tastes good.

SalsaVerde Chicken Enchiladas

Angela Shellard

Romancing the Stove Mexican food is something I don’t make very often.

But the flavour combinations in Mexican cooking are delicious, so I thought I should share a couple of recipes with you.They’re streamlined to make them easy for a home cook because bona fide Mexican recipes are right up there with Indian cooking when it comes to lengthy prep time (check out a recipe for mole sauce sometime, yikes). But I

1 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp minced garlic 4 cups salsa verde (available in the same aisle as salsa) 1 cup sour cream 4 cups shredded cooked chicken (either leftover from a roast chicken or purchase a rotisserie one) 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese ½ cup chopped cilantro 12 six-inch flour tortillas Preheat oven to 350º F. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the salsa

verde and heat through.

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Place half a cup of the sauce at the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly. Reserve a further two cups of the sauce mixture for the top of the enchiladas. Add the chicken, half of the cheese and half of the cilantro to the remaining sauce and stir to combine. Place about three tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll the tortilla up snugly; place filled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish, side by side.

Spread the reserved sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle reserved cheese evenly over top. Bake for about 20 minutes, until enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted. Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top and serve immediately.Top with a little more sour cream and/or salsa verde if desired.

Makes six servings.

Mexican Rice 2 cups white basmati rice 2 Tbsp olive oil 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth ½ cup tomato sauce 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (use as much or as little as you like) 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup frozen peas, thawed 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (one that has a lid) over medium heat; add the rice and sauté for a few minutes until the rice becomes fragrant and slightly opaque. Add the onions and jalapeno and cook for one minute; add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer. Add the cumin, salt and pepper

and stir to combine. Add the tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes and chicken broth and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to very low, cover and cook for 10 minutes without removing the lid. After 10 minutes add the peas evenly over the top of the rice; replace lid and continue cooking until all liquid has evaporated (total cooking time should be about 20 minutes). Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, for five minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and gently stir in cilantro. Makes eight servings.

Mexican Cheesecake Two 250-gram packages cream cheese, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 tsp cinnamon ½ cup butter, softened ¼ cup liquid honey Preheat oven to 350º F; grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.With a mixer,

beat the cream cheese, one cup of sugar and vanilla together until very creamy.

Unroll one of the cans of crescent rolls. Press the seams together and roll out with a rolling pin to make a rectangle approximately 9x13 inches.

Place dough into the prepared baking dish and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over top.

Open the other can of crescent rolls and prepare as you did the first one.

Place dough on top of the cream cheese mixture. In a small bowl, stir together the three-quarters cup of sugar, the cinnamon and the butter; dot small pieces of the mixture evenly over top of the dough.

Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with the honey.

Let cool completely in the pan, then cut into squares.

Makes 12 servings.

Tentsuyu sauce adds a welcome touch of tang to tofu

then, that I should have chosen five non-sushi dishes that evening at Hachi Hana, calling the kitchen team back to their stations.

Nevertheless, Japanese cuisine is exceptionally varied, covering a broad spectrum of flavours and ingredients. I have often wondered, when eating sushi in local restaurants that boast Japanese cuisine, if those items that fall outside the category of sushi would stand up on their own as satisfying meal options or

if they serve an innately supporting function, like an orchestra that permits a virtuoso soloist to shine.

With an investigative spirit, I forfeited my habitual sushi fix and began my meal with Agedashi Tofu, molten hot, deep-fried squares of spongy tofu served with finely chopped scallion.The tofu, which is dusted in flour before frying in order to achieve a crisp and golden veneer, is served in Tentsuyu, a bronze liquid comprised of soy sauce, dashi (broth made from smoked tuna scales), and mirin (rice

popular appetizer of deep fried, marinated chicken, also in a light flour coating.

The morsels of chicken retained a commendably moist centre and were fried at a high enough temperature to avoid the common trapping of becoming grease laden, but were, to my taste, under seasoned.

Following the chicken was a conservatively portioned dish of Gomaae, or quickly blanched spinach in sesame sauce.The spinach was deftly handled, retaining some crunch in the stems,

although the application of sauce was heavy handed, burdening the delicate leaves with a dense coating.

The mixed tempura that followed was the star of the meal, light and fresh.The inclusion of a large ring of onion was a nice treat and paired particularly well with an ice-cold glass of Kirin beer. Prawns, yam, zucchini and green beans rounded out the mix. For my main course, I opted for Seafood Udon, comprised of thick noodles with prawns, clams, scallops, strips of octopus and narutomaki (decorative

white and pink slices of steamed, cured fish loaf) served in hot dashi.Truth be told, by this point in the meal the sushi-centric Vancouverite in me was experiencing a powerful urge for raw fish, making the somewhat chewy textures of the well-cooked octopus and clams feel less than completely satisfying.The deep and concentrated, subtly smoky dashi, however, ultimately saved the dish and ended the meal on a relatively high note, though I suspect on my next visit, I will likely put sushi front and centre once again.

wine intended for cooking).

Typically, Agedashi Tofu is served in enough tentsuyu to require a spoon, but Hachi Hana’s version used the liquid rather sparingly.

This approach preserved the tofu’s crispiness while adding just enough salt and tang to enliven its subtle flavour.This positive start to the meal was encouraging and helped to take my mind off the pale pink, beautifully marbled tuna belly sashimi that my neighbour was enjoying.

Fast finish for Simmerling

WestVan skier third atWorld Cup final ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

West Vancouver’s Georgia Simmerling capped off a strong finish to her ski cross season Sunday, winning bronze at the World Cup finals held in La Plagne, France.

It was the second podium finish in a week for the 25-year-old who also won bronze at a World Cup race held in Sweden March 16.

In Sunday’s World Cup final Simmerling won her first heat before finishing second in both her quarterfinal and semifinal to make it to the final four. In the medal race Simmerling was last out of the gate but managed to reel the field back in, passing Sweden’s Sandra Naeslund on the final jump to claim bronze by less than a ski length.

“The conditions were pretty difficult,” said Simmerling in an interview with the Federation International de Ski

Hockey stars suit up for U18 worlds Two North Vancouver hockey stars are suiting up for Canada’s national under-18 team at the U18 Women’s World Championships this week in Budapest, Hungary.

Forwards Hannah Miller and Brielle Bellerive both have worked their way onto the national team while playing away from home at Penticton’s Okanagan Hockey

Academy. Miller is one of two players who played for the national team last year when they took home gold at the 2013 U18 World Championships. She has been named one of the

assistant captains for this year’s team.

The team is off to a fantastic start as they begin their repeat bid. In their opening game Sunday the Canadians beat Japan 7-1

with Miller picking up a goal. The results were even better Monday as Canada blanked Finland 7-0.

The Canadians will finish up pool play Wednesday with a

matchup against the Czech Republic. The quarterfinals are scheduled for Thursday with the semifinals Saturday and final Sunday.

Attention Boaters Get ready for boating season by getting your pleasure craft licence and proof of competency now.

Pleasure craft licence In Canada, all recreational boats with a motor of 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) or more must have a pleasure craft licence. A pleasure craft licence provides a unique identification number that must be displayed on your boat. This allows Search and Rescue personnel to access important information in an emergency.

Pleasure craft licences are valid for 10 years. Operating a pleasure craft without one may result in a $250 fine.

Proof of competency Everyone who operates a power-driven boat also needs proof of competency — something that shows they understand the basic rules and how to safely operate a boat. The most common proof of competency is the Pleasure Craft Operator Card. You can get the card by taking a boating safety course in-person or online, and passing the test at the end of the course.

For more information on how to get your card or to get an Application for a Pleasure Craft Licence, visit www.tc.gc.ca/boatingsafety or call the Boating Safety InfoLine at 1-800-267-6687.

The North Shore Winter Club got three third period goals to score an exciting 4-2 win over the Burnaby Winter Club in the championship final of the Bantam Tier 1 provincial hockey championships Thursday in Prince George.

The North Shore squad held a huge advantage in shots in the final but the score was tied at two in the dying minutes.

Assistant captain Justin Almeida finally made the breakthrough with 2:20 left in the game. Captain Jordan Bellerive salted the win away with an empty netter, his second goal of the final.

The Winterhawk’s Brett Stapley opened the scoring in the first period while goaltender Dorrin Luding made 14 saves to get the win.The Winter Club boys will now move on to the Western Bantam Championships scheduled for April 3-6 in Kelowna.

••• North Vancouver’s Rachel Jones and the rest of Canada’s national women’s team scored a huge 2-1 win over Ghana Saturday to advance to the quarterfinals of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. The Canadians looked like they would cruise into the playoffs after Marie Levasseur scored a pair of goals in the first half.

Trouble brewed, however, just five minutes into the second half when Bianca St-Georges was shown a red card, reducing the team to 10 players. Jones, a fullback, subbed into the game for

the final 30 minutes to help shorthanded Canada hold off the attack. Ghana scored once but could not get the equalizer that would have bounced Canada from the tournament.

Canada scrapped their way to a second-place finish in the pool, notching ties against Germany (2-2) and North Korea (1-1) before collecting the win over Ghana. Ghana took top spot in the group with their wins over Germany and North Korea.

Jones, a Sutherland Gr. 11 student and member of the Whitecaps girls elite team, came on as a second half substitute in all three of Canada’s opening round games.

The team will now meet Venezuela in a quarterfinal matchup Thursday. Canada has never advanced past the quarterfinals at this tournament.

••• The dynasty finally came to an end for the North Shore/ Burnaby-based Vancouver Northwest Giants as they fell two games to zero to the Kelowna Rockets in the championship final of the B.C. major Midget League played at the Burnaby Winter Club on the weekend.

The series loss snapped a string of five consecutive league championships for the Giants.The Rockets claimed one-goal victories in both contests, winning Game 1 by a score of 2-1 and clinching the series with a 4-3 victory in Game 2.
