West Van opposes LNG — again Council stands by earlier call to ban tankers in Howe Sound

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

If you want to raise the temperature inWest Vancouver, talk about liquefied natural gas.

The prospect of an LNG

plant in Squamish elicited almost uniform disdain from both elected and unelected West Vancouverites Monday as council stood by an earlier resolution opposing tankers in Howe Sound.

Woodfibre Natural Gas

Limited — part of the Pacific Oil and Gas group of companies — is seeking to liquefy and export 2.1 million tonnes of LNG per year, beginning as early as 2017.The $1.6-billion facility would ship 40 double-hulled LNG tankers to Asia each year.

Council unanimously called on the federal government to ban LNG

tankers from Howe Sound in July.The vote was marred by confusion with a few councillors later admitting they weren’t sure just what they were voting for.

After facing unprecedented criticism from West VancouverSunshine Coast-Sea to Sky MP John Weston for taking the stance, council arranged to hear from the plant’s

proponents.

Any fears of council backpedalling from their initial resolution were quickly quashed as several councillors bashed the project, pausing only to wait for the gallery’s raucous applause to die down.

Mayor Michael Smith recounted his first dealings with ExxonMobil in 1976, when company

representatives stressed the safety of shipping oil and the infinitesimal chances of a spill.

“We all know how that turned out,” said Smith, who owned and managed a wholesale distribution business for the oil company.

After hearing from Woodfibre LNG, Smith said See LNG page 5

Some choices are hard.

North Vancouver high school students took to the streets, staged a “walk in” at their school and crowded into their MLA’s office this week to vent their frustration at being caught in the middle of the ongoing teachers’ strike.

Sarah Jordan, a Grade 12 at Sutherland, was one of about a dozen students who stood with a placard on Grand Boulevard Monday, to call attention to students’ concerns.

“I’m hoping to bring attention to the fact there is a third party. Students are being affected by the strike more than anyone,” she said.

Jordan said she’s continued to work at her job as a grocery checkout See Universities page 3

Universities reassure students From page 1 clerk while school is not in session, but she’d rather be in the classroom.

Julia Kadi, another Grade 12 student at Sutherland, said the strike is creating extra stress for students in their final year.

“For some of the universities I’m wanting to apply to, the deadlines could be Oct. 15,” she said.

“There’s rumours saying we might not be back to school until October.”

A short distance away, Peter Schultz, a high school physics teacher, stood on a picket line outside Sutherland. Schultz said he’s also concerned about the strike’s impact on students. “We all take their Grade 12 year very, very seriously,” he said.

But Schultz said the issues in the dispute stand to impact many other students in the future.

Louise Legris, Simon Fraser University’s admissions director, said B.C. universities are waiting to see how long the strike continues before changing their usual admissions procedures but will make sure students aren’t put at a disadvantage by the strike.

“We’re not going to penalize students for something that is beyond their control,” she said.

Andrew Arida, associate registrar for undergraduates at the University of British Columbia, had a similar message, adding most admissions are based on grades that are available in March.

Also on Monday morning, a group of about

LNG supporters talk jobs From page 1

Bridget Trerise, one of the students who met with Thornthwaite, said afterwards the meeting didn’t give her much hope the dispute will end soon.

“Obviously the government has more power and they have more money.

They’re not really losing a lot in this dispute…” she said. “I’m not sure what the

government’s motivation is to get this deal done.”

Trerise said when she put that question to her MLA, “I didn’t really get a good answer.”

Thornthwaite said later she told students she would relay their concerns to her cabinet and caucus colleagues, as she does for all her constituents.

Thornthwaite said it would be difficult for her to have any direct impact on the dispute. “I’m not the one who’s at the bargaining table,” she said.

Thornthwaite said she’s had a number of visits from individuals and groups concerned about the strike.

Recently her twice monthly “Join Jane” coffee meetings with constituents have been “very much taken over by this issue,” she said.

Thornthwaite said not all of the meetings have been calm. “It’s very difficult when you have people yelling at you.There’s a mob mentality.”

Thornthwaite said she’s called the police on more than one occasion because

of threats she’s received.

The teachers’ union was set to hold a vote Wednesday, asking their members if they would return to the classroom if the government agreed to binding arbitration.That vote, however, was seen as largely symbolic after the Education Minister Peter Fassbender rejected that option.

“Arbitration is not something this government is going to consider,” he said. “That is not in the cards.”

he stood by council’s prior resolution.

“You can minimize the risk but you can’t remove all the risk,” he said.

Proponents of the $1.6-billion Woodfibre LNG project began their presentation by ceding the floor to Squamish resident Brad Hodge, who discussed the city’s bleak economy.

Hodge illustrated his point with a story about two minimum-wage earning parents getting into a heated argument about money after their child requested a fruit cup.

“I’ve had a front-row seat to this for years. I’ve seen many businesses close, move or sell out,” he said.

Woodfibre LNG will provide 100 high-paying jobs and millions in taxes, according to Hodge, who previously noted the annual tax increases faced by Squamish residents.

“Yes, there are risks, but those risks can be controlled,” he said. “The industry has an excellent safety record.”

In emphasizing that safety record,Woodfibre project director Alex Brigden described how tugboats would escort slow-moving doubled-hulled LNG tankers through Howe Sound.

While stipulating that BC Ferries would be better suited to answer a question about navigational concerns, Brigden said there don’t seem to be concerns about tankers moving in close See Chlorine page 5

City of North Van cuts childcare red tape

Proposed changes aim to boost home-based daycare spaces BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Looking to spur the growth of childcare spaces, City of NorthVancouver council is moving to cut some of the red tape home-based daycare businesses face.

Under the rules today, applicants seeking to open a childcare business that serves nine or more children must provide a traffic plan, inform and get feedback from every neighbour within 100 metres of the proposed facility and attend a public meeting before council votes on the matter.

Under the new

“enhanced” regulations, prospective daycare operators will only have to notify neighbours within 40 metres and there is no requirement to solicit feedback.The traffic plan requirement will remain.

“I can tell you that finding quality, affordable daycare is a challenge for any municipality, especially here in the city where we have a higher concentration of younger people and we need to do as much as we can to encourage group daycares in the city and make them as accessible as possible for everyone,” said Mayor Darrell Mussatto before

throwing his support behind the changes.

Today, there are only six such businesses in the city — far too few according to Coun. Craig Keating.

“When . . . we’ve only got six, according to staff, our challenge is not to find new ways to regulate. Our challenge is to find ways to encourage,” he said.

While some may be irked by crying children in singlefamily neighbourhoods, it is far worse to have those neighbourhoods absent of children entirely, Keating added.

Daycare clients, under the proposed changes, would also be informed of the city’s “good neighbour” policy and bylaw staff would keep an eye on the business to make

sure city regulations are obeyed.

Other than one daycare on Fourth Street that netted a series of complaints from neighbours, the city has on record only two complaints registered against the other group daycare facilities, one in 1989 that was resolved and another one in 1992 which was found to be without merit.

No other home-based business requires such a stringent approval process to operate in the city, Coun.

Linda Buchanan noted.

Daycares must still be licensed and inspected by Vancouver Coastal Health before they can apply to the city for a business licence.

Council can remove a business licence at its own

discretion should there be numerous complaints.

Though there was no disagreement that more childcare spaces are needed in the city, the proposed changes went a little too far for some on council by cutting out neighbourhood feedback to council before a business’s licence is granted.

“There’s the rub as far as I’m concerned,” said Coun. Rod Clark. “There’s the information that I need to know: whether the neighbours in close proximity to a proposed daycare are indeed in favour, or against or neutral so I can’t live with this proposed legislation with that requirement not there.”

Clark found support in Coun. Pam Bookham.

“We can’t assume the nieghbouring houses are going to be empty during the bulk of the time when the daycare is busiest,” she said, noting a childcare business could be disruptive for seniors, people doing shift work and people who are at home ill or disabled. “A daycare can have a significant impact on the immediate neighbours and I think there should be an opportunity for council to be made aware of those interests that have to be balanced.”

Coun. Guy Heywood joined Clark and Bookham in voting against the motion.

The public is invited to comment on the proposed changes at a public meeting before council votes on making the changes final.

Chlorine concern ‘unfounded’ From page 3 proximity to the ferries.

There is a precedent for similar operations in B.C., according to Brigden, who pointed to Fortis-operated plants on Tilbury Island in Delta and Mount Hayes on Vancouver Island, both of which liquefy gas, albeit on a smaller scale than Woodfibre LNG. Couns. Bill Soprovich and Nora Gambioli each noted the waste that used to leach from Britannia Mine and the damage it caused to Howe Sound.When it comes to a potentially dirty industry around Howe Sound: “We don’t trust you or anybody,” Soprovich told theWoodfibre LNG representatives.

Twenty years of cleanup at the mine site will cost B.C. taxpayers $200 million, according to Gambioli. “It will continue for 100 years,” she added.

Both the provincial and

federal governments need to let go of their “Neanderthal economy visions,” according to Gambioli, who noted that B.C.’s tourism sector generates five times more jobs than the provincial oil and gas industry.

“We need to invest in tourism and in renewable energy sources which would create far more jobs and a better future for our kids, not to mention the planet.That should be the plan for Howe Sound,” she said.

Soprovich questioned Brigden about allegations of corruption lobbied against the company’s owner, Indonesian billionaire Sukanto Tanoto. “As far as I know, that is not true,” responded Brigden.

Coun. Mary-Anne Booth asked several questions about a process that will pump 17,000 cubic metres of heated and chlorinated seawater back into Howe Sound every hour. “I put

chlorine in my swimming pool to kill everything,” she noted.

Concerns about chlorine are likely unfounded, according to Brigden, who said the amount used is less than what can be found in drinking water.

Coun. Michael Lewis did not attend the meeting.

Setting it straight A story in our Sept. 5 edition (Unite North Van, Says Mayoral Candidate), included a quote that described Kerry Morris as “(one of) two factions led by NDP supporters.”

Morris has responded: “I am not now, nor have I ever been a member or supporter of the NDP party, or any other political party for that matter.To my knowledge no one working on my campaign is an NDP party member or supporter either.”

Chalk one up for losers and weepers in their eternal battle against finders and keepers.

An altruistic City of North Vancouver employee found a large wad of cash Sept. 2 and promptly turned it over to police.

“The amount of cash is significant enough that someone is very likely missing it,” said North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong.

In order to ward off false claims, the police aren’t giving out details about how much was found or where the ethical employee found it.

Large amounts of money have been known to go missing during illicit deals but there’s no reason to suspect anything untoward in this case, according to De Jong.

“We’re assuming someone accidentally lost it. Until proven differently, it’s still legal tender.”

Anyone who can say how much money was lost and where they lost it is asked to call the RCMP at 604-985-1311.

or a woman who campaigned hard (twice) for a seat in the B.C. Legislature, Premier Christy Clark sure doesn’t seem to like the place very much.

With only 24 days scheduled for MLAs to sit in their hard-earned Victoria seats for the rest of this year, Clark has scheduled herself a trade mission to India for 10 of them.

Her sixth India trip since becoming premier, she’s scheduled to arrive in New Delhi just two days after the start of the fall session.

MLAs will tell you they’re hard at work when they’re not in Victoria and a quick look at their social media feeds will confirm there are a lot of barbecues and wine tastings to get through. There’s not a single MLA who campaigned to represent us on the barbecue circuit.

Each and every one of them was elected

to represent us in the legislature, and they already spend far too little time there.

Now, we don’t fault the premier for trying to advance our business interests abroad and maybe while she’s there she can get some pointers on why their middle class is rising as ours is shrinking away.

But we have to ask why the trade trip couldn’t have been scheduled for any of the 294 days this year that the legislature was reduced to a tourist attraction?

A cynic might suggest it’s the best way to avoid scrutiny and needling from the opposition while there’s an ongoing crisis in public education. Or it could be that some of her old friends and supporters are now up on charges under the Elections Act. Whatever the case, we’d much rather she be front and centre.

Water meters make sense Dear Editor: The other night I happened across a Metro Vancouver page about our water filtration system. I was pleased to learn that my tap water is cleaner than Evian water.

Starting with water from three of the cleanest reservoirs on the planet, we filter out turbidity, run the water through a new twin-tunnel system to an ozone/UV primary disinfection plant, and add trace amounts of chlorine and calcium for secondary treatment and stabilization.

They made it sound so fresh and tasty that the other afternoon, it being such a warm day, I briefly considered drinking some as I hosed gallon after gallon of this

invaluable resource into my wheelbarrow to mix up batches of concrete.

Although I know my daughter’s generation will judge me harshly for my wastefulness, rest assured that like most North Shore residents, I won’t change my habits until I’m given an incentive and an easy way to do it.

Having shown leadership in this area in the past, I am hoping that our municipal council will consider the adoption of the following policies that should motivate and empower residents to make changes to their water usage.

Step 1: Require all developers to install water meters and to run two water lines into all new construction to enable

CONTACTUS

the future delivery of minimally treated water.

At the current rate of redevelopment, this should cause the majority of dwellings to be metered and to have two water service lines in the next five to 10 years.

Step 2 : Once a critical mass of residences are metered and dually serviced and as existing main service lines need replacing, run two water main lines into Metro Vancouver’s system.

Step 3: Shift property tax from being based on assessed property value to being based on household water use.

Water meters have enabled reductions in water wastage in neighbouring municipalities (for

example, a 25 per cent reduction in West Vancouver) and if we use smart-meter technology, we can provide future opportunities to use timeof-use costing, which will encourage us to water gardens at optimal times without the need for bylaw visits.

I hope all North Shore residents will join me in giving their municipalities the mandate to carry out this plan by writing letters, speaking out at council meetings and making voting decisions in the upcoming municipal election based on councillors’ support of the concept.

North Shore commuters need rapid transit service Dear Editor: I have been using public transit for 20 years now. As I sit on the bus commuting to work every day, I notice that most drivers in their cars are commuting alone.

Improved transit would remedy this, I’m sure.

I would like to say that I agree with letter writer Calvin Smythe’s sentiments about how the North Shore is omitted when it comes to major improvements in transit (Transit Plans Ignore North Shore, Sept.

7).

The North Shore News published an article in the Aug. 24 edition about the much-needed upgrade proposed for Phibbs Exchange.

While I agree that an upgrade would be nice,

I would much rather see some sort of rapid transit that crosses the North Shore, as opposed to some good looking green space at Phibbs Exchange.

When I’m at Phibbs, all I want to do is connect with my next bus . . . not enjoy the scenery there.

(Though I will admit that a public washroom would be appreciated.)

Last summer, the congestion between (Ironworkers) Second Narrows bridge and Central Lonsdale was appalling. It would routinely take me an hour to commute between these two locations.

Something has to change.

Children deserve unwavering support Dear Editor: Open letter to Premier Christy Clark: The reasons teachers are asking for more specialized teachers, counsellors and educational assistants to support the students in their classrooms are specific and clear.

When teachers are required to act as translator for the English language learners, mediator for the students whose playground antics resulted in a blowout at the door, scriber for the student whose written output skills don’t match the comprehension of the topic, counsellor for the student with social anxiety, refocusing agent for the student who wanders the classroom to avoid the lesson, organizer for the

student who can’t locate specific supplies, nurturer for the student who just moved to a new school, invigilator for the students who use their personal devices to conspicuously check their social media status, and technical expert to manage the audio enhancement system and projection devices in the classroom, it becomes a challenge to teach, monitor and assess the academic progress of each of their 30 students.

Teachers are taking on a greater role with our most vulnerable children, and by extension their families. Children deserve support when they need it, whether they are waiting for a designation, dealing with the many issues that are not currently funded, or simply

waiting for the attention of a teacher who is too busy with the more needy students in the classroom. No longer the “sage on the stage” or even “guide on the side,” teachers are required to scaffold and create separate lessons, model and implement self- regulation strategies, observe (and ultimately table) concerns with an increasingly complex set of clients, while juggling the demands of a rigorous and evolving curriculum.When teachers don’t succeed with this delicate balancing act, neither can their students.

Teachers are asking for increased funding for specialized teachers, counsellors and educational assistants to help monitor and assess the diverse needs of our students

Beach closures warrant answers Dear Editor: Re.West Vancouver Too Complacent on Beach Closures, Aug. 27.

Lorne Clarke’s letter expresses the growing frustration and anger of many West Vancouver residents regarding the sky-high E. coli count in our beloved beaches this summer. I know that many of us have taken individual action, including contacting our MP John Weston, Vancouver Coastal Health and our mayor and council.

We all know the E. coli spiked after July 17 and that

if all nearby sewage plants have in fact been tested for leaks, the cause is most likely a dump from a ship. I was told as much from the Vancouver Coastal Health officer I spoke to about this.

How hard can it be to identify exactly which ships were in the area at that time, and to investigate each of them for a possible dump — accidental or otherwise?

And to publicize the outcome?

So far, we appear to have another classic case of passing the buck.Vancouver Coastal Health tell me they

can only monitor and not investigate.The municipality says it is not their jurisdiction as it happened in the sea. If the dump happened within city waters, Vancouver Port Authority is responsible; if outside that, Transport Canada is in charge.

“FOR A BETTER TOMORROW” Do you think the Pace and Scale of Redevelopment in the City has been unreasonable? Do you want development to slow down?

I do and I believe we have been growing the City for the benefit of people who don’t live here at the expense and in ways which are damaging to the quality of life for those who do!

Development needs to be ‘Lower and Slower’. It’s not a race! It’s our future! Lets get it right!

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to HOME & GARDEN

10 ways to decorate a dorm

GREEN GUIDE

TheVancouver Chrysanthemum Club is inviting North Shore residents Saturday, Sept. 13, noon-4 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 14, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., to an early varieties show at VanDusen Botanical Gardens, 5251 Oak St.,Vancouver.

Admission by donation. vandusengarden.org

It’s that time of year again for the older students to head off to university.

Some have departed but there are still a few waiting to begin a little later. If your student has moved into his or her dorm or is in the process, you may be searching for a few dormdecorating ideas to spruce up the usual drab space they will dwell in for the next eight months.

Here are 10 of my favorite ideas that I have seen that can be planned ahead and executed in a relatively easy fashion.You should have no problem purchasing the items in other countries if your student is studying abroad.

1. Rearrange the space.

Once you step into the dorm room, think about the different ways you are able to rearrange the furniture.

Often the room is cleaned and left in a haphazard state.

Beds and desks can usually be moved in and around the space as long as the doorway is not blocked.

2.Think vertical. In most cases these rooms are very small. In order to maximize the space for efficient movement in and around it may be a good idea to purchase some wall shelving or vertical stacking units that can be placed on the desk for organizing.

3. Don’t over purchase.

This is one of the first mistakes most students and parents make when planning to decorate a dorm

room. It’s important to just arrive with the basics and then settle in the room a bit before purchasing all the little items you may think you need.

4. Bed risers. These are critical if your dorm bed is only inches from the floor.

These risers are placed under the bed legs to raise the bed high enough for storage bins to be placed underneath. Many stores carry these but Bed Bath & Beyond carries good ones for $20.

5. Establish a colour theme. Many kids like to go bold with colour because the walls in their dorm room are usually white or beige.

Alternatively, an all white or cream theme is nice for a girl’s room. Combine both white and beige accessories to give the room a serene and calm feel.

6. Purchase a rug. I’m not saying an expensive one but one that will warm up the floors on a cold, wet day. Dorm room floors are usually cold and bare

Look for inexpensive ones at Ikea and other department stores like Home Depot. Usually a three-byfive or four-by-six foot is perfect.

7. Decorate the bare walls. Photos of your summer holidays, wall decals and posters are all great ways to add colour and interest to the dorm walls. One great idea is to have your favorite summer photos transferred to canvas. A collage of four or five grouped together is a nice way to decorate a bare wall.

8. Ease homesickness.

permit it, a nice plant is always appreciated. Plants and flowers have a wonderful way of adding life to a small room and making the space feel warm and a little like home.

But check with the dorm rules before going out and purchasing an expensive plant. Succulents are a good choice for their ability to hold water for long periods of time.Watering a plant isn’t always on the student’s top priority list.

I’ve always liked the idea of photos of family and friends decorating a small space on the desk.This is a great way to ward off any homesickness that may pop up and put a smile on a tired and worn-out student.

9. Poufs. No, not the powder pouf kind, but the soft, round, pillowlike furniture pieces that can double as a side table beside the bed as well as a footstool or coffee table.

These lightweight, versatile little pieces are wonderful in dorm rooms for visitors to sit on and just to add a little colour to the room.

The days are getting shorter as autumn’s winds signal change. Bird migration is one of the essential themes of late summer/early autumn, governed by length of day, according to Stephen Kress in Bird Life: A Guide to the Biology and Behaviour of Birds. Some birds, like the song sparrow, spotted towhee and chickadees are residents and don’t migrate. Others, like the black-headed grosbeak, western tanager and

Many birds migrate at night. Kress, an ornithologist, notes, “night migration is the rule for most small, insect-eating birds, such as warblers, vireos, flycatchers and thrushes.” The Lincoln’s sparrow, for example, may be more common than

records indicate (it is why bird banders get up at 3 a.m.!)

Shorebirds (waders) are a big part of local bird migration. The sanderling and western sandpiper are two examples of sandpipers that breed in the high north, moving through southwestern B.C. on their passage to South America. Watch also for least, western, pectoral, semi-palmated and solitary sandpipers.

Small sandpipers are known as ‘peeps.’ Larger waders include lesser and greater yellowlegs, dowitchers, and rarely marbled godwit, longbilled curlew and whimbrel (uncommon on the North Shore). A few waders, like dunlin, sanderling, greater yellowlegs, and the long-billed dowitchers, winter locally. Identifying shorebirds can be a challenge. A good scope, field guide (or app) together with the right tide are essential (see your local wild bird store for best advice on these matters).

A good place to watch for shorebirds at Maplewood Flats is the viewing deck at the mouth of McCartney Creek. It’s also a great spot to view waterfowl and gulls.

Gull watching is always an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Shorebirds are followed by raptors, like the peregrine falcon, that hunt them — watch for it.

Watch for vultures soaring on thermals, purple martins, and merlins snapping up dragonflies,

Get your garden ready for the fall

As we slide into late summer the garden continues to impress and inspire.

This summer’s warm weather has been hard on some plants but a great growth booster for others. My hardy fuchsia is flowering more profusely than ever and Clematis tanguitica is looking lovely with her dangling yellow flowers.With so much happening in the garden, busy lives and fall’s approach around the corner, it’s important to work with

the rhythm of the seasonal change.To help get you through the change here’s my September garden primer.

Take advantage of the warm fall soil: During September through October and in warm seasons into November, the soil in our region is the warmest it will be all year. Planting now takes advantage of the warm soil and cooler days to promote plant establishment.

Any plant from a pot can be planted in this period. Plants can also be transplanted now

Todd Major

Dig Deep

but will require watering aftercare until fall rains take hold.

To prune or not to prune: Plants that should not be pruned now include any plant that will flower next spring, including rhododendrons, azalea, pieris forsythia, some viburnum and so forth.

Pruning of those plants will remove next year’s flower buds. Crown raising or crown thinning of trees can occur now depending on the species. Coniferous trees, like cedar and pine, can be done. Broadleaved shrubs, like Portuguese laurel and so on, can also be pruned

if required. Hedging can be pruned now but should not be pruned hard to avoid possible winter damage to the resulting growth flush that occurs in early October.

Chemical fertilization of residential gardens in fall: This is a controversial subject to many people, including me. Proponents believe fall fertilization benefits root growth, hardiness and bud formation in many plants, particularly spring blooming plants, not to mention lawn grass.There is research to

substantiate those claims, however, there’s a difference between the science and the ethical and rational use of such knowledge.

Residential gardens across North America are victims of unnecessary fertilization since the chemical revolution of the 1950s.We are to blame in part due to our insatiable appetite for more and greener and bigger. If your plants are reasonably healthy, flower regularly and have uniform green leaves, See Enjoy page 19

Among the most important chores of the seasonal change is taking time to slow down and enjoy the fruits of your garden labour.This is one of most beautiful seasons to enjoy the garden and other gardens in the neighbourhood.This is also a great time to visit local botanical gardens and parks to enjoy their fall display. Spend time with friends, family and especially children, and enjoy the beautiful bounty that nature bestows upon us at this time of year.

topdress with animal manure or topsoil to help provide nutrients instead of applying chemical fertilizer. Apply the topdress one to two inches thick over the lawn and rake it in evenly until the grass blades poke through the topdress. Aeration is not needed in the fall if you aerated in the spring. Lime is not needed unless a pH test indicated need.

Seeds, stems and stalks: Not all perennials should be deadheaded at this time of year. Leave standing for seasonal display all flower stalks that have interesting or colourful seed heads. Not only are seed heads and fruits beautiful to look at, many of them provide food for birds. Always cut off any seed heads from plants that may be prolific self-seeders like fennel (Foeniculum

then chemical fertilization is a financial waste and an environmental cost.

Enjoy the seasonal peak of container displays: For plants grown in containers, September displays the culmination of a season’s growth.We generally enjoy gradual change from summer into fall allowing containerized plants to bloom well into October.Take notes on success and failure but always take time to enjoy your creations at their peak.

For containers that look a little tired, give them a quick prink and preen and half-strength feed of fertilizer to perk them up.

For containerized plants that are exhausted, replant now with fall asters or mums, and perhaps an ornamental grass or winter foliage plant. Don’t forget to amend the soil when replanting if needed and clear the drain holes.

The lawn looks a little tired: Lawns always look a little tired and tattered after the summer drought. It is important to remember that lawn grass naturally goes dormant during summer, so if your grass is brown you get a gold star for being environmentally conscious.

As the fall rains set in the lawn will begin to grow and green up.To help the lawn revitalize itself now is the time to topdress.To be environmentally friendly,

PARENTING

Let your kid be the helicopter Parenting is about raising kids to have both roots and wings.

First we need to do the tough job of parenting, giving kids security and stability by modelling, expecting, demanding and supervising their behaviour.

We set limits, we discipline, we offer unconditional love and through this we raise kids ready to become capable. These are their roots.

From the stability of their roots, we give them wings. We understand that from their first independent breath we are engaged in the process of letting go.

And it’s a process. Each developmental stage requires us to help them to develop the tools they need to move forward toward the day when they head out the door to create their own life.

I recently saw a photo of three children on a beach on the west coast.

They were climbing all over some logs over the incoming tidewater. When you look carefully you can see that they are being very deliberate and careful in their actions but are clearly playing and clambering all over the place. They have wings.

From the time my son took his first step, he loved to climb. And I’m afraid of heights.

One day he was playing in a gym program at the Y and I was appalled.

There he was, five feet in the air and climbing. The young staff person took me aside and said, “Don’t look at the height. Watch his hands and feet and you will see just how careful

Kathy Lynn

Parenting Today he is being.” And she was right. With his hands and feet, three of the four were always stable on the rungs and he moved cautiously and deliberately. It was a good lesson.

Today we talk a lot about what we call helicopter parenting. We are seeing parents who are finding it a real challenge to give their kids wings and let them move toward independence. Instead of sitting back and watching them clamber on the logs, they hover. I recently visited a wonderful park designed for toddlers and preschoolers. It is totally fenced in, all the equipment is designed for little ones and the base is sand. My son and I were able to sit on a strategically placed bench, chat and watch my grandson play.

Most of the kids were playing with the toys, coming down slides, shovelling sand or asking their parents to push them on the swings. Then there were the other kids who couldn’t move without a parent holding their hand.

I felt badly for those kids whose wings are being effectively clipped.

Dozens of parents who aren’t prepared to let their kids walk to school are lined up, often double-parking to drop off or pick up their children. These kids are darting between the cars and the rest of the traffic is at a standstill due to the traffic jam.

It is likely that all these children live within walking distance of the school and could easily make the trek with their friends, and we would avoid the annoying and dangerous traffic jam.

So, how do we help our kids learn to fly?

Remember when she took her first step and how exciting it was? You celebrated.You should now celebrate each of her

transitions, to school, to summer camp, to take the bus downtown with a friend and to moving out of the house.

Teach her what she needs to know. Teach her how to walk to school with her friends. Walk with her at first and then let her go on her own.

Trust her. She will let you know when she’s ready for a new challenge.

Support her in her new ventures. When a child goes off to kindergarten and her mom is in tears, it makes it hard for her to rise to the challenge. When we give them positive messages and are excited with them, they will thrive.

Permit them to own their own space. When they go off to summer camp, relax. Don’t be a parent

who is constantly checking up on them. When they leave home to work or go to post-secondary training, assume they can handle it. Instead of being the helicopter parent and hovering, let your child be the helicopter and slowly but surely take off on his own.

Our job is to raise our children to become capable young men and women, and by giving them roots and wings we will accomplish this.

Haiku poetry about a little panda bear called Koo (hence the play on words in the title). Muth is the author of The Three Questions, a picture book based on a Tolstoy story.

Gorgeous paintings accompany 26 haiku about the four seasons.

The poems capture the essence of the seasons and the gently reflective mood of the text matches the illustrations. My favourite poem is “Reading aloud, a favorite book, an audience of sparrows.” The illustration of a young boy sitting cross-legged in the woods while his sister feeds the birds is just perfect. A lovely picture book to share between generations.

The star of TheVery Hungry Bear and The Very Itchy Bear is back for another rollicking adventure told in verse.

Australian author Nick Bland has created a delightful character who will resonate with the picture book crowd. Bear is startled by Boris Buffalo while picking berries and in order to regain his pride declares he was not scared and will demonstrate his bravery. The oneupmanship continues with the two of them climbing trees, crossing raging rivers and swinging through trees among other daredevil activities. Then both Bear and Boris encounter a very scary cave from which comes a loud, scary roar and the two of them make a unanimous decision to run away and hide. The perpetrator of the roar, a tiny frog, assures them he had no intention of scaring them and the story ends on a happy note as all agree they are equally brave.

The illustrations depict animals with attitude and lots of character. Give this to the small daredevil in your family.

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE

to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Dining done well in Deep Cove

Chris Dagenais

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes that feature B.C. blackberries. page 30

Visitors to the Lower Mainland often wax lyrical about our geography, remarking on the rare situation of a major metropolitan centre between mountains and ocean.

Our tourism industry likes to brag about how locals can ski and surf in the same day, a feat that may be technically possible, but is one I have yet to achieve in the nearly 30 years that I have lived here.

While our mountains are indeed imposing, majestic and inspiring, I am more of a water guy; the way the grey and emerald shorelines of our fjords, channels and bays yield to chilly, darkened depths still takes my breath away.

This preference likely accounts for why I find Deep Cove to be such a spectacular place. I make a point of taking out-oftowners there, usually for a paddle around the little islands immediately off Panorama Park.

Though it is on the North Shore and can be reached by a 15-minute drive from my home, Deep Cove still feels like a destination to me, a place away from the immediacy of my life. I never just stumble into Deep Cove; I escape to it.

Perhaps this is why

a recent meal at Arm’s Reach Bistro, perched at the farthest end of Deep Cove’s small strip of town on Gallant Avenue, made me feel like I was dining at a resort.

I visited the restaurant alone on a cloudy and cool Tuesday evening, finding welcome refuge within its warmly lit, surprisingly bustling space. Had I been dining with a guest, I suspect we might not have been able to find a table.

Reservations here are recommended.

As a solo diner, I took a seat at the bar, situated in the centre of the room in front of the kitchen.

From that vantage point I was afforded a good look at the outgoing meals, all of which, it must be said, were very generously portioned.

I was on a mission to try the restaurant’s prix fixe menu, available only on Mondays and Tuesdays.

The prix fixe consists of an appetizer, main course, dessert, and three, two-ounce pours of wine, all for $39. The menu represents good value when you consider that a la carte appetizers range in price from $7 to $23, mains from $17 to $35, and desserts from $9 to $13.

Fortuitously, I secured the last prix fixe meal available that evening and was treated to a thoughtful, wellconstructed dinner that began with Golden Beet Carpaccio.

Paper-thin slices of yellow beets provided the foundation for a salad of peppery rocket tossed in a fennel and orange vinaigrette, crumbled goat’s cheese, and grilled slices of peach.

The dish was subtle and elegant; the goat’s

cheese was sparingly applied and provided just enough rich pungency to balance the sweet and earthy beets, spicy arugula and peach.

(I note with interest that the restaurant’s website lists grilled apricots rather than peaches on this dish, though my server mentioned the latter when she presented the plate and the size of the fruit slices indeed suggested peaches; when served warm and with grill marks, the fruit is admittedly harder to identify.)

Despite the inclusion of small pours of wine with each course, I elected to sample wines by the glass from the main list instead.

I am a wine geek, after all, and the list at Arm’s Reach Bistro, while small, is far too interesting and well-considered to resist.

I opted for a glass of Picpoul de Pinet, an oftenoverlooked Languedoc white varietal, offered here from the producer Ormarine. The steely, minerally palate of the wine, with its solid acidity and reserved fruit, makes it exceptionally foodfriendly.

The main course of the prix fixe was a staggeringly large dish of Linguini Puttanesca. A mountain of pasta was tossed in a lovely sauce of tomato, chili, olives, capers, garlic and onion, all lifted with the addition of fragrant lemon rind.

The citrus helped to brighten what is typically a deep and pungent sauce.

Two enormous prawns, grilled to perfection, topped the pasta. I commend the kitchen on their commitment to authenticity, evidenced that night by the inclusion of a morsel of anchovy in

TZTO}Y hTzz Z}zz O ]_Z{ U}X xTV R Tx ZT _WX }Y _x X y xW TX cZyIY l TP b}YXZ_ }x ` ] a_V J j CINDY GOODMAN the sauce.

Though not listed on the menu, the heady, salty fish is a vital ingredient in classic puttanesca. A glass of Nerello Mascalese, a Sicilian varietal with a deep, fleshy, stone-fruit character, married well with the pasta.

The final course was an unexpectedly magical house-made gelato of raspberries and preserved lemon.

I have grown weary of ice cream (and gelato, semifreddo, frozen yogurt, etc.) through the sheer frequency with which it is consumed with my

children, but I have to say, the tart freshness of this frozen creation from Arm’s Reach made me grin like a six-year-old and provided an exceptional closing to a very good meal.

In a small bowl, combine one quarter cup of the sugar and the cornstarch; stir in the lemon juice. Add the blackberries and toss to coat; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, half a cup of sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add the egg yolk, vanilla and the butter.With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread twothirds of the mixture in the pan. Press firmly to even out and flatten.

Top with the blackberry mixture, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining crumbs, then sprinkle the remaining 1½ tablespoons of sugar over top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm with ice cream.This can also be cooled completely before cutting into squares. Makes six servings.

Rustic Blackberry & Blueberry Tart Crust: 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar ¼ cup cornmeal ¼ tsp salt ½ cup cold butter, cut into cubes 1⁄3 cup buttermilk Filling: 3 cups fresh blackberries 3 cups fresh blueberries ½ cup granulated sugar 3Tbsp all-purpose flour 2Tbsp freshly squeezed

Combine the flour, sugar, cornmeal and salt in the bowl of a food processor; add the butter cubes and pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse meal.With the processor running, slowly add buttermilk until the mixture just forms a ball.

Gently press the dough into a four-inch circle, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Unwrap the dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper; roll dough out into a 15-inch circle.

Remove the top piece of parchment and place

the dough along with the bottom piece of parchment on a rimmed baking sheet.

To prepare the filling, place the berries, sugar, flour and lemon juice in a large bowl and toss gently to coat berries. Arrange the berry mixture in the middle of the circle of dough, leaving a two-inch border all around.

Fold the edges of the dough up around the berries, pleating and pinching the dough as required (the dough won’t cover all of the filling).

Whisk the milk and egg together in a small bowl and brush the mixture on the dough, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the dough. Bake for one hour or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand for at least 30 minutes; cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Makes eight servings.

Scan this photo with the Layar app or visit nsnews.com to see a photo gallery from Saturday’s Capilano vs. Quest women’s soccer matchup.

Everyone who has been around the game of soccer for any amount of time knows that things can get wonky in those final few minutes of the game when muscles and minds get tired.

During their home opener Saturday the Capilano University women took a 1-0 lead over the Quest Kermodes 15 minutes into the second half thanks to a strong solo effort from forward Demmi Skierka, who stole the ball off a defender, raced in on goal and coolly blasted a shot off the goalie’s fingertips and into the net.

From that point on, however, the Blues were under near constant pressure as the Kermodes attacked and the scorching early-September sun shone down, seemingly sapping Capilano strength.

Five minutes after the Blues took the lead the score was tied again with Quest’s Gabriella Villasenor finishing off a swift counterattack. As the game entered the final 10 minutes the heat seemed to take a toll on the Blues.

The Kermodes poured on the pressure, first drilling the crossbar from way out in the 80th minute, then nailing the bar again three

Blues battle through heat to earn tie in home opener

holding on now, but hold on they did. In fact, the last chance just before the final whistle fell to Skierka who muscled her way into a partial breakaway but was stymied by Quest’s keeper who dove to smother the ball off her feet.

It ended as a 1-1 tie, giving Capilano their first points of the season following a 2-1 loss at Kwantlen earlier in the week.

Following the game Capilano head coach Darren Rath lamented the breakdown that allowed Quest to tie it up while praising his team for holding on to the tie while facing intense pressure.

“The girls were knackered today with the heat, essentially just holding on,” he said. “We did well to hang on to a draw at the end of the day but we could have done better and won the game. . . . We have to improve our fitness and our physical health.”

Rath has reason to be concerned about fitness and health. Last season the Blues were blown apart in their first game of the season, losing five starting players to injury. They went on to lose their first three games and then there was not enough time left in the short PacWest season to undo the damage. Capilano battled back to finish fifth but ended up four points out of a playoff spot.

“Last year we had so many injuries at the beginning of the year and it killed our season,” he said. “That’s why I keep stressing the fitness and player health. If you get

injured once you could be done for the year — that’s how quick the season goes.”

Even with an early emphasis on fitness and health this season the Blues already look as if they might be following the same path they did last year. They followed up Saturday’s tie with a 3-0 loss at Vancouver Island University Sunday and are currently tied for last place with one point through three games. The haven’t avoided the injury bug either — key players such as third-year defender Paige Llewellyn, thirdyear midfielder Andrea Standerwick and first-year defenders Selena Odegard and Jenelle Gunther have already missed games or been slowed by injuries.

Getting everyone up to match speed and keeping them there is priority No. 1, said Rath.

“Overall I think there is a tremendous amount of talent in the team, some very good players and very experienced players,” he said. “If we can get healthy and fit I think there is a tremendous amount of potential in the team.”

Skierka, a fourth-year Handsworth grad, led the way on Saturday, using her speed and tenacity to put pressure on the Quest defenders. She very nearly scored in the first half after stealing the ball from a fullback in a play that was strikingly similar to the one that led to her second half goal.

“Defending from the front — that’s good,” said Rath. “Demmi did well, she pressured well, she won the ball against their defender and she had a good finish.

She created that (goal).”

Other players that are expected to lead the team include Standerwick, a

Prince of Wales secondary grad who took several years off from collegiate sport after starting her post-secondary career with Thompson Rivers University in 2005.

“She’s a big influence,” said Rath. “She’s a key leader on the team.”

Rath is also looking for big things from fourth-year goaltender Ariel Anderson, a Burnaby product from Notre Dame secondary.

“Ariel Anderson is one of the best goalkeepers in the league, if not the best,” said Rath. Alexsandra Aulin Haynes, a third-year Argyle grad, and fifth-year Seaquam grad Kristine Hiduk are expected to help anchor the midfield while third year forward Parm Rai will work with Skierka up front.

Rath believes that the talent is there to get the Blues back into the playoffs for the first time since 2009.

“When we play the ball to feet, play simple, we play well,” he said. “I think if we stay healthy we have the potential to (challenge for the title). Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for a healthy season. We’ll see what happens from there.”

••• The Capilano men are 10-2 following their opening week of play. The Blues started with a 3-0 loss to Kwantlen, rebounded with a 2-0 win over Quest in the home opener Saturday and then fell 3-1 to VIU Sunday. Through three games they are in fourth place.

The Blues will go on the road for their next three games before returning home Sunday, Sept. 21 for a rematch against VIU. Game times are noon for the women and 2 p.m. for the men.
