Nations sign Salish Sea treaty Coastal First Nations sign pact to block tanker project JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion is illegal — under Coast Salish law.

The Tsleil-Waututh and First Nations from Vancouver Island and Washington State met Sunday to sign a treaty that aims to put a stopper on Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline.

If approved by the NEB and federal cabinet, Kinder Morgan’s pipeline — which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby — will nearly triple its capacity, going from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day.Traffic in Burrard Inlet would jump from five tankers each month to 34.

“When we look at Kinder Morgan, they’re breaking our laws,” said TsleilWaututh Nation spokesman Rueben George. “In creating this treaty, we believe we’ve blocked all directions of the proposed pipelines.”

The catalyst for the treaty — which forbids increased oil transport through Burrard Inlet — was the fear of rising cancer rates near the Alberta oil sands. “I’ve seen with my own eyes some of our relations that live there,” George said, describing trepidation over drinking water and an elk with “a cancerous cyst the size of a baseball.”

While causation is unproven, working in the oil sands and eating local food, especially fish, is associated with an increase

Treetops near WV home lead to lawsuit JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

A dispute around tall trees is heading to the highest court in the province.

three months it’s been on the market due to the view-obstructing trees on a neighbouring property, according to a West Vancouver homeowner.

Xu Kuai, owner of a 4,400-square-foot home in tony Whitby Estates, filed a motion in B.C. Supreme

Court Thursday to address the “injury and losses” he’s suffered as a result of the towering timber.

Besides not being able to see the ocean for the trees, the vertical vegetation sapped the interest of potential buyers and impaired Kuai’s

enjoyment of the property, according to the suit.

The difference between a great view and a perfect view can be the difference between selling a house and not selling a house, according to West See Trees page 3

Amalgamation not on ballot District nixes reunification question on Nov. election ballot JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

There’ll be a host of options during the District of NorthVancouver municipal election this Nov. 15, but amalgamation won’t be one of them.

The clock was ticking at the Sept. 15 meeting, with chief administrative officer David Stuart advising

council it would be “difficult if not impossible” to put a question on the ballot without clear direction from council that night.

Longtime amalgamation proponent Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn proposed adding this question to November’s election ballot: ‘Do you support the district continuing to undertake a comprehensive investigation

regarding amalgamation of the North Shore municipalities?’

“I’d like to take the temperature of our community to determine the level of support,” he explained.

While there may be millions to be saved by consolidating North Shore governments, MacKayDunn stipulated that district residents may not share council’s fervour for amalgamation.

There is “no reason” to put the confusing question

before the electorate, according to Coun. Roger Bassam. “We are not going to achieve reunification in six weeks.We may get a good question on the ballot in four years,” he said.

Bassam also took issue with including West Vancouver in the question rather than focusing on the “universally supported” reunification of the two North Vancouvers.

The amalgamation question would risk alienating the district from the City of North Vancouver,

according to Coun. Alan Nixon. “Let’s not rush this . . . we’ve got four years to put our case forward,” he said.

Over the next council term, the District of North Vancouver should work on a marketing campaign, convincing city residents to put pressure on their own council to address amalgamation.

Coun. Lisa Muri disagreed, suggesting the question would keep the issue of amalgamation alive.

Nighttime closures, noise on Lions Gate Evening commuters may need to ease off the gas this week for the safety of construction workers at the north end of the Lions Gate Bridge.

Crews are scheduled to remove and replace the joints of the north viaduct as part of a construction project expected to wrap up later this year.

“Some intermittent loud noise may occur,” according to a release from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

The release warned of noise from pavement cutting and jackhammers, and thanked residents for their “patience and understanding.”

The work will entail nighttime lane closures and traffic delays. Updates are scheduled to be posted at DriveBC.ca.

Rusting oil tanks removed from Grouse BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Grouse Mountain has cleaned up a heap of old oil drums, a fuel tank and a car battery left to decay on the mountainside for several decades.

The rusting mess was on Grouse property between the BCMC Trail and the Cut ski run since the area used to house private cabins.

“The area where the barrels were found is located near an unofficial trail that is sometimes referred to as the Simic Trail. It is proximate to the BCMC Trail. The location is overgrown and we were not aware that there was any debris in the area,” said Jacqueline Blackwell, Grouse Mountain spokeswoman.

Grouse staff only became aware of the old drums and tank when contacted by the North Shore News, Blackwell said. A local hiker alerted the North Shore News to the cache with an anonymous letter after smelling diesel fumes in the area and following them to their source.

The mess has since been cleaned up, Blackwell said. “We immediately took steps to clean up the debris. The battery found at the site where the barrels were also discovered has been properly disposed of and the barrels have been removed,” she wrote See Private page 9

Trees spoil ‘perfect’ view, Realtor says From page 1 Vancouver real estate agent Clarence Debelle.

“I can have a perfect view except for one tree,” he said. “Trust me, when I go up there and I’m showing it to a buyer, instead of looking at the 98 per cent view that’s perfect, they point to the one tree.”

Debelle, who is handling Kuai’s house, said he recently sold a house that — with a pristine view

— would have fetched $2 million more.

Kuai’s Chippendale Road abode sits atop a slope overlooking a house on Hudson Court.

According to the lawsuit, the Hudson Court home is bound by a restrictive covenant that forbids any tree from growing higher than the roofline. The covenant, authored by British Pacific Properties, notes the negative impact unkempt

Romy Chen, owner of the Hudson Court home, has been in breach of the covenant since 2011,

according to Kuai, whose suit claims some trees exceed the roofline by 20 feet.

Despite repeatedly stating her willingness to

wield the axe, Chen has neglected to tend to the trees since 2012, according to the suit.

Besides hoping the judge will look at the trees

and order they be topped, Kuai is also suing for damages — and interest on those damages — caused

by Chen’s failure to trim the treetops.

NEB to hear from Tsleil-Waututh From page 1 environment and geography professor Stephane McLachlan in a release.

In March, Alberta’s chief medical officer Dr. James Talbot found the cancer rate in northern Alberta community Fort Chipewyan only slightly higher than expected.There were 81 documented cases of cancer — two more than anticipated.

George is hopeful the treaty will garner more supporters through a series of town hall meetings.

He drew a parallel to the Yinka Dene Save the Fraser Declaration, which found increasing support in its attempt to ban pipelines through First Nation territories in the Fraser River watershed.When asked what the treaty is designed to accomplish, George replied: “Solidarity between our nations.”

The treaty is meant to force Canada’s political leaders to protect indigenous

laws. “Because they’re not standing up for the Canadian people and the people of Vancouver, we will. Our actions are for everybody,” he said. “When anything we love is hurting, we as a nation want to stand up and say ‘No.’” The Tsleil-Waututh Nation is scheduled to offer oral testimony to the National Energy Board Oct. 16, according to Tsleil-

Waututh spokeswoman Sarah Thomas.The nation is also attempting to kibosh the pipeline through the Federal Court of Appeal.The TsleilWaututh is alleging the NEB had no legal authority to begin their review given that the federal government failed to engage the band.While no court date has been set, the band’s letter of appeal has been accepted, according to Thomas.

ore than 120 leaders from around the globe swore to spend billions to stem the effects of climate change — and it was barely time for lunch.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon implored us to change the course we’ve set for the world, explaining that global warming defines our present.

Unfortunately, Canada’s present is defined by absence on the climate change agenda. Stephen Harper skipped the United Nations Climate Summit. He was in NewYork this week, but — like the dubious environmental stewards of China, India and Russia — opted to send a deputy.

We could say Harper is woefully oblivious to the message sent by his decision to skip the summit, but that wouldn’t be giving him enough credit.

Harper knows perfectly well the message

MAILBOX

he sent: global warming isn’t important.

Members of the ruling Conservatives claim climate change is a vital issue.

To “prove” they take it seriously, the government ushered in new regulations to lower the amount of greenhouse gas emitted by cars. Of course, the United States had previously made almost the same move to limit greenhouse gasses from automobiles, giving Canada little choice but to follow.

In order to avert the environmental disaster that will accompany collapsing ecosystems, we need innovation from the private sector and courage from our politicians. Everyone who breathes the air and cherishes their children’s future is affected by global warming.

Stephen Harper didn’t show up for them this week. On election day, perhaps those who are serious about climate change shouldn’t show up for him.

Headless figures evoke war-zone atrocities Dear Editor: Many of you must have noticed the newly installed headless artworks on Lonsdale Avenue and wondered, “What are these things?!”Well, for me, they have become my nightmare.

By looking at them you can’t help but just be reminded of horrible news about the barbaric beheading acts of ISIS in Iraq these days. It appears that these “pieces of art” were installed in our neighbourhood without enough thought and consideration.

Sadly, a few of these beheaded figures are standing in front of the Harry Jerome Community Centre very close to a childcare facility.

What are we trying to show our kids and youth,

by displaying these figures?

One concerned mother told me she didn’t know what to explain to her 10-yearold son when the kid asked about those beheaded bodies.The kid thought these are soldiers killed in war.

I had a chance to talk to a few people about these aliens in our neighbourhood.

Everyone I talked to shared the same opinion and questioned the purpose of these “things.” Unanimously, we feel that these creepy, beheaded metal bodies are nothing but a constant reminder of atrocities being perpetuated by groups such as ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Even some visitors from other cities or countries told me they wondered if North Shore residents are sending a wrong message with these

CONTACTUS

ugly figures. Are we scaring people by displaying these backless, armless, headless, aimless walking legs?!

Although I believe the person who designed them did not intend to create a heartbreaking impression on the public, I have to say that these pieces are standing in a wrong place at the wrong time.

In my opinion, we should leave such artworks in the galleries and anyone interested can admire them there. Or if we display them in the public eye, we should be considerate of the impression it may have on people.

I strongly believe we should remove these figures from our street. I wish we

could replace them with something more peaceful.

Then we could send a loud and clear message that we Vancouverites want to promote peace, prosperity, and life — with our brains, not without our heads.

With this letter I am asking the responsible parties to contact me to discuss the process of removing these

pieces from our street.

Rose Nazeri North Vancouver Editor’s note: Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz’ sculptures are part of the Vancouver Biennale public art exhibition. For more about them, read our storyWalking tall:Vancouver Biennale, at nsnews.com.

Thank you, strangers, for aiding my son Dear Editor: On Sunday, Sept. 8 at approximately 11:45 a.m. our son had a cycling accident on Capilano Road just south of Marine Drive. He somersaulted over the handlebars, landing on his arm with great force. He felt it was

within seconds of landing that an Australian tourist cycling nearby came to his assistance followed shortly by a Squamish Nation Peacekeeper who immediately dialed 9-1-1.

Also stopping to offer expert assistance was a physician, Frances Roos,

who called us from her cellphone to tell us our son was on the way to Lions Gate emergency and that she would bring his bicycle to our house.

It was determined to be a broken arm and he is now sporting a cast and the prognosis is good for a

complete recovery.

We send our heartfelt thanks for the kindness of these good Samaritans wherever they may be!

(Although words fail to adequately express our gratitude.)

Hire me, but don’t call me mom

Liz James on teachers got it right

SHANNON NELSON Guest columnist

There’s a well-known cycle of family business: the first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation blows it.

Naturally there are exceptions, but 70 per cent of family businesses never even make it to the second generation, let alone the third. And I’ve got a solution for this tragic trend of familial business failure: instead of hiring your kids, hire your mom.

I happen to be a mom who was just hired by my son,Tommy, who founded CEO.ca a few years ago.

And I’m not the only Mom working for my kid. In fact, recent research in the field of family business shows that as baby boomers are facing some hard facts about retirement, more and more of them are looking for something to do in their senior years, and many of them are finding fulfilling jobs working for — you guessed it — their adult children.

Take me, for example: I’ve been retired from a career in broadcast journalism for the last five years, and have played enough golf to last a few lifetimes, some of it even respectable. Sure, I’ve dabbled in volunteer work, travelled and kept my mind engaged with constant reading and researching everything and anything on the internet. But, and I NEVER thought I would say this, I’ve been bored of late with this retirement

thing, and I’m not even 60 yet.

Plus, I keep spending money (not a problem yet), and although I’ll probably inherit some money, I could live another 30 years. Even if I have enough to last that long, I have this silly revulsion to withdrawing funds from my investment account.

Enter Tommy, my No. 3 child with the thriving web business that just happens to require many of the skills I honed in my own career; researching, writing, interviewing, editing. “Use me, I can help,” I’ve been nagging him for months.

Finally, swamped with work himself, he’s handed some over to me. And here’s the biggie — he pays me money to do it. Not a lot of money, I’ll admit, but some.

OK, maybe it’s a pittance.

But it’s something. I am officially in the employ of my son.

It’s a shift, no question, in the realm of family

business and one that pretty much turns traditional roles upside down. But hiring a parent, whether it be Mom or Dad, has some built-in advantages for both employer (child), and employee (parent).

Let’s start with the benefits to the employer: Trust: who can you trust to have your (and your business’) best interests at heart more than your Mom, not to mention your hopes, dreams, and the keys to the office safe. I’m pretty sure Tommy knows I’m not going to rip him off or betray his business secrets to anyone. And I will absolutely never mention that he sucked his thumb until he was 18.

Loyalty: a given when hiring your parents, as inherent in the ‘job of Mom’ is an unshakable instinct to protect your child, come hell, high water, or even better job offers, which if one comes along, with a real paycheque, I’ll have to

consider it Tombo.

Candor in the workplace: I’m sure if you asked Tommy he would share that he knows he can count on me for constant honest feedback, even when he hasn’t requested it or doesn’t like it.This circumvents any traditional “blowing smoke up the boss’s a**” and can even help other non-family employees feel more comfortable being honest too.

Skills and expertise: If you happen to be in the same field as your mom, you are lucky. Because as old as your parent is (in my case, not that terribly old), she has likely acquired years of experience that you can benefit from,Tom. Credibility: Not that Tommy needs it, but in many cases, young entrepreneurs are still developing credibility.

I believe it is the duty of every council to fully examine any matter which might lead to an improvement in the governance of our city. A refusal to analyze the costs and benefits of amalgamation because it might cost the mayor, a councillor or administrator their job is not reason enough for the City to stick its head in the sand.

Breathe deep.

Having your mom in the workplace could signal that a) you have a mature influence involved in your business, b) if you can work with your mom you can probably work with anyone, and c) if she still likes you even though you made her life hell while you were a teenager you can’t be all bad.

There are lots of benefits for the employee (parent) to working for their child too, not the least of which is financial. Many retirees underestimate the lifespan of their little nest eggs.The extra income they earn can be a welcome addition to their financial health.

Maybe the money pays for extra travel, or a new set of golf clubs, or a face lift.

Either way, it’s a welcome addition to the pot.

Active retirees healthy longer From page 7 emotional benefit from working past retirement age.

Many of us who have retired miss the connections that we had through work, the daily social interaction with work mates, and especially the sense of purpose having a meaningful job can bring. Research has shown that people who continue to work past retirement age (their numbers are increasing dramatically) are healthier than those who don’t, because they stay mentally and socially engaged.

For Tommy and me, working together is a win-win.We had a great relationship before we started working together, and now we’re even closer.

But family business experts warn that some of the same problems as can be found in having your kids work for you emerge when you have a parent working for you. So here are a few tips to making the “Mom is my employee” thing work: Work roles must be well articulated. A detailed job description is advisable.

Establish who the boss is, but don’t forget, your parent deserves to be respected even in a subordinate role.

Work roles should be distinct from family roles — that means no work talk during family dinners.

Pay your parent a fair wage and expect her to perform. (Bonuses also encouraged.)

When on the job, be sure to call your parent by their name and not Mom or Dad. (Since Tom’s been calling me Shannon since he was four, this has not been a problem.)

Finally, not all work relationships are going to run smoothly all the time. In the case of having your parent work for you, understand that although kids stop being kids at some point in their lives, parents never stop being parents, especially moms. So brush your teeth, make your bed, and be a good employer!

Private cabins used by Grouse ski pioneers From page 3 in an email. “While there is no indication of soil contamination, we do plan to engage an independent third party environmental firm to test for confirmation.

Should any evidence of environmental impact be discovered, we will conduct any additional cleanup but we are confident that this area and the surrounding environment remain in satisfactory condition.”

The North Shore backcountry once had hundreds of cabins built before the area became park or resort land, according to Alex Douglas, a local history buff with an interest in

Mount Seymour’s cabins.

“All over the North Shore, there was cabins, most on Hollyburn, Grouse and Seymour,” he said.

“These young kids would just go up and build these cabins.”

They grew in popularity among European immigrants, many of whom used to do day labour humping materials up the mountain. “They would get hired a dollar a day to cart woodstoves and things up the mountains to the cabins,” he said.

While most of the cabins are now gone, there are still remnants, including more oil drums, in some locations, Douglas said.

“I think it will allow city residents to say: ‘Why didn’t we get to answer that question on our ballot?’”

The question is unnecessary, according to Coun. Robin Hicks, who said the vast majority of district residents support amalgamation.

“I don’t think we need a mandate from our citizens to proceed with any form of investigation,” he said.

Council still needs to determine how much will be gained by consolidating city and district departments and how to stop salaries from ballooning when top staff balk at pay cuts.

A citizens committee is currently evaluating the benefits of amalgamation and putting a question on the ballot could undercut their work, according to Hicks. “They could well say the benefits aren’t worth the money that’s going into it,” he said.

The ballot question is intended to sweep past politicians and bureaucrats and reach the people, according to MacKay-Dunn, who stressed the importance of keeping the issue alive while the next council takes office. “I don’t want this to

die,” he said.

The motion was defeated 4-3 with Couns. MacKayDunn, Muri and Mike Little on the losing side.

Had it been approved, the question would have been non-binding and carried a negligible cost, according to district staff.

The City of North Vancouver initially rejected amalgamation over cost concerns connected to the 70 kilometres of asbestos concrete pipe running

under the district. More recently, the city scuttled amalgamation talks over concerns the district isn’t paying their part of the North Vancouver policing bill.

However, those concerns may be unfounded, according to the city’s chief administrative officer Ken Tolstam, who said a preliminary look at the numbers seem to indicate both parties are paying their fair share.

connecting our community

A NEW BEGINNING It has been said that it takes a community to raise a child. In the West Vancouver School District, we take a lot of pride in the work we do towards that end, but we know that outstanding student success would not be possible without the support of our entire community.

We know that the late start to the year following the recent labour dispute is somewhat bittersweet. For families that have been forced to make arrangements around work schedules, to shoulder unplanned financial costs, as well as raise concerns over your child’s academic progress, we thank you for your patience and understanding. For students — whose voice is often sometimes the hardest to hear, yet the most important — we commit to continuing to work with each of you to provide you the education you need and deserve.

We also want to acknowledge our teachers and support staff. They have been walking the picket line for many weeks with the goal of improving our public education system. We are looking forward to having you back in our schools doing what you love.

It has been a long journey, but if there is a positive side to this situation, it is that we all care more deeply about public education, and understand why it matters.

We have a strong history of success in our innovative district educating the citizens of tomorrow.

It remains our hope for all concerned that we can work together with those who learn, teach and support students in the West Vancouver School District to build an even better foundation for the world class education we have always offered.

Please visit us at www.sd45.bc.ca to learn about our plans and programming for the upcoming school year and beyond.

Welcome back!

YOUR NORTH SHORE GUIDE to HOME & GARDEN

Follow permit process to a T

Kevin Vallely

Building by Design

“I want to do work on my home but I’m not sure if it requires a permit.” It’s a question I get from many homeowners and my typical answer is, “Yes, it does.”

Each municipality varies in its requirements for permitted work but, as a general rule, any alterations, additions or new construction will require a building permit to build.

The only structures that may fly under the wire are small sheds or accessory buildings and even these need to be confirmed with the municipal authorities to be certain.

In order to acquire a building permit one will need to submit specific drawings and information to a municipality for their evaluation.The authority will review the proposed work and ensure its compliance with municipal zoning, environmental protection and building code requirements.

The exact drawings

Examples of drawings that are typically required for a building permit application are topographical surveys produced by a registered land surveyor; a site plan

that locates the building with setbacks, driveways, retaining walls and other pertinent features delineated; a foundation plan indicating size and location of strip footings and pads; floor plans clearly delineating all new work with associated dimensions; exterior elevations indicating heights, roof slopes, window and door locations and overall

facade treatment; and cross sections through the building showing the nuts and bolts of how everything is put together and their relationships. In addition to these drawings one will typically need drawings from a structural engineer and sometimes a geotechnical engineer as well.

Get your household shipshape for fall Time is now to address the commotion of summer

For many households, the school year signifies the beginning of the calendar year.

Perhaps the reason for this is because the kids begin a new school year and schedules for sports and activities have started.

The house is now ready to be deep cleaned from all the summer commotion.

Here are a few good tips that have been passed down to me over the years that may help with the daunting tasks ahead.

Baseboards I love the Mr. Clean

magic eraser for cleaning baseboards. They’re great for eliminating scuff marks and give the baseboards a nice, clean look. For general cleaning try a simple mixture of soap and water after you’ve vacuumed them with your vacuum’s brush attachment.

Outdoor Furniture Upholstery When it’s time to bring the cushions inside for the year, it’s a good idea to give them a thorough cleaning.

A mild soap and water mixture works well to rid

Barb Lunter

Home Ideas

the upholstery of any dirt or debris. Let the cushions fully dry before packing them away for the winter season.

Blinds Cleaning blinds is probably the most tedious job there is inside the

house. It’s not a lot of fun but it is necessary. Cleaning them depends on the type of blinds you have but generally a good pair of white, cotton gloves always does the trick. Mild, diluted soapy water works great here as does equal parts of warm water and vinegar.

Simply dip your fingers into the cleaning solution and then run them over each individual blind slat. The other hand can be used to dry them. Alternatively, a nice absorbent white cloth works well for this task.

Some say wiping the slats with a dryer sheet after you’ve cleaned them is

a good idea to repel any future dust that may occur.

Doorknobs During flu season I like to wipe the doorknobs in the house frequently.

Wearing a pair of rubber gloves, use antibacterial wipes to wipe clean any germs that may be on the surface.

Duvets and Pillows For synthetic pillows, I find that placing them in the washing machine is the best way to thoroughly clean them. Let them air dry if possible or use a low heat setting on your

dryer. For duck down pillows and duvets, be sure to check that the fabric outside casing is washable before you begin. It’s recommended to wash these pillows in commercial-size washing machines that are very spacious as the smaller, European ones may do damage to the filling. It’s best to hang to dry or place them in a large dryer. Pull the duvet out every 20-30 minutes or so to fluff it up.

Benefit of landscape fabric myth persists Short-term gains don’t outweigh negative growth consequences Some lessons in gardening have to be learned the hard way, a case in point — the myth of landscape fabric.

I recently observed some new landscaping of large garden beds that were being covered with woven landscape fabric, then covered with two inches of bark mulch.

For many years I have tried to educate homeowners and gardeners on the incorrect use of landscape fabric.

But still the myth persists that landscape fabric controls weeds in the garden. Arguably there is a short-term benefit in control and prevention of some weeds. However, several negative growth conditions occur in fabriccovered gardens. And the maintenance of fabric covered gardens is not lower than the alternative.

Landscape fabric works well for erosion control during construction and sometimes permanent cover for very steep slopes.

Fabrics of various brands have been developed for floating islands, streamside protection and drainage use.

Fabric, or ground cloth as it is sometimes called, also provides long-term protection with low maintenance in nursery and greenhouse settings.

Even agricultural use

Todd Major

Dig Deep

of woven row covers or crop covers can provide improved growing conditions and lower maintenance.

Beyond commercial or industrial use, landscape fabric works well for short-term use to protect soil during construction.

Or it is meant to cover earth with a potted crop growing on top of the fabric. With no soil or mulch present, the weeds have nothing to grow in.

The fabric works well as a tool for those uses. The incorrect technique of laying fabric and covering it with gravel, sand or rocks of some sort creates a slowly compressing and smelly mess that still grows weeds anyway.

Rocks are a good matrix to grow weeds, especially in our rainy climate where seeds abound on the wind.

To make matters worse, landscape fabric does

I have renovated many gardens with landscape fabric and found large networks of weed roots growing just under the fabric.

The roots grow under the surface of the fabric in search of air and water or holes to grow through. Holes are usually found where each plant is growing — the last place you want weeds.

Landscape fabric has become so manufactured now that many brands do not allow positive air flow into the soil. And consequently less water reaches the soil, especially during drought. These are great conditions if you want to grow shallow-

rooted stunted plants that can’t find a breath of life.

Problems with fabric use arise in gardens for several reasons. Firstly, there is the beautiful occurrence of garden change over time, and the fabric is a hindrance to that process. Few gardens remain unchanged over their lifespan and landscape fabric makes changing the design difficult and more expensive. Even minor plant replacements are more difficult with fabric in place.

Secondly, shallow rooting is a common occurrence for all plant roots growing under landscape fabric, even large trees and shrubs.

I have seen 30-foot tall

pine trees growing under landscape fabric. Pine roots as large as two inches in diameter were found growing just under the fabric.

Thirdly, weed-seeds can spread by wind, water, pets, people and machinery. There are peak times of the season where weed seeds are on the wind all day. The key understanding here is that all future weed growth will occur on top of the fabric.

So no matter what soil or mulch cover is put on top of the fabric, weeds will still grow.

So what is the value of the fabric, especially when considering the other negative aspects of landscape fabric use?

And let’s not forget the

financial cost to buy and install fabric.

No thanks, landscape fabric is not worth the problem it creates over the long term.

There are only two good options to prevent weed growth.

Grow plants robust, allowing all foliage to touch and cover earth, thereby crowding out weed growth.

Or, mulch the soil deep enough to prevent weed growth and maintain the mulch consistently over the life of the garden.

For most gardens a combination of those methods will produce the most consistent beautification and manageable maintenance.

In average residential conditions, most gardens last 15 or 20 years, maybe 50 years if someone really loves the garden. During those years much change, development and growth of a sense of place occurs.

Fabric does not contribute to those virtues.

Landscape fabric has specific uses but it has become a sales gimmick foisted upon misinformed consumers under the guise of trouble-free weed control.

Only a fabric-free garden can thrive to be beautiful.

Know where you’re going at start From page 13 that trips me up in the murky world of municipal zoning interpretation. It’s always best to flush this stuff out early rather than being broadsided with non-conformities while holding a complete set of permit drawings ready for submission.

Once the building permit drawings have been submitted prepare yourself for a wait.Turnaround times in the City of Vancouver are so bad these days it’s been making headlines. Anticipate at least six-eight weeks of waiting time before your permit is ready.

The building permit

process can be a daunting one. Some individuals forgo the process altogether and start building without a permit but this is something I wouldn’t recommend you do.

In a best case scenario you’ll get a stop work order, will be required to produce the missing building permit drawings and you’ll be fined to boot. In a worst case scenario your work will be deemed non-conforming and you’ll be required to tear it all down.

So, you want to do work on your home and now you know it probably requires a permit. Make an appointment at your municipality, find out what’s involved and know where

Delay dementia—could hearing aids be the answer?

Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language, judgment and behavior. This is the finding of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The

study

included

639

people

whose

hearing

and

cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end of the study.

How might hearing loss and dementia be connected?

the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia.

The article concludes that, whatever the cause, these findings may offer a starting point for further research as to whether interventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.

Training tots a topic of note It’s time for me to remember the realities of toilet training.

Some say “toilet learning” some say “potty training,” and some avoid the subject altogether. No matter what we call it, the goal is to get kids out of diapers and using the toilet.

My last foray into the world of toilet training was in the early 1970s. My grandchildren are now two

years old so the topic is again on my personal agenda.

I once spoke at a trade show in Toronto and the focus was on life and balance, and the booths included new nutritional supplements, medical advances and fitness plans. It was all very up-to-date and trendy, but parents wanted to talk to me about toilet training. So let’s talk about it.

Yes, it may be that

previous generations of mothers had their babies trained at very young ages, and there are reasons for this. First, it was Mom who was trained. She carefully monitored baby and caught her before she wet her diaper. Many used timers and were extremely vigilant at the task.The motivation was high. Nothing like cloth See Timing page 30

PARENTING

Timing is important to process

From page 29

diapers, wringer washers and clotheslines to motivate moms to get their kids out of diapers. It’s hard to judge who was actually trained, but the kids were out of diapers at a much younger age.

You have probably noticed that I only mention Mom.That was the case in the past. It was easier to toilet train kids because generally only moms were involved in the process so there was consistency.Today, moms, dads, babysitters, childcare providers, and often grandparents, work together in caring for our youngsters.

Then there are these great new diapers. New advances in disposable diapers with magic wicking function means that kids wearing these diapers have no idea that they are wet. No longer do we see toddlers with wet legs and soaking wet pants.

So if Mom doesn’t have to slave over a wringer washing machine followed by hanging the diapers out on the line and Junior isn’t walking around dripping

wet, where is the motivation?

It comes from wanting to grow up, to be like everyone else. Babies learn to walk and talk because they see it all around them and it seems like a good idea.We walk and talk with them and soon they get the idea and start to imitate us and learn.

Kids today tend to grow up in homes with few siblings and many bathrooms.What this means is there are fewer opportunities for them to imitate what they see. If Mom and Dad tend to use the ensuite attached to their bedroom and older siblings have a couple of bathrooms to choose from, it’s more of a challenge for Junior to watch and learn.

So those are some of the reasons why we have a more difficult time today.

Now, let’s get positive. As with all learning, timing is everything. If you catch your toddler when she’s ready for toilet training, it can be a piece of cake.

Girls are usually ready earlier than boys.You can consider starting with girls at around two and with boys at around 2½. But besides

gender or age there are some signs of readiness.

A dry diaper for close to two hours is the first sign that your child can hold it. She needs to make the connection between her body and her diaper so watch for when she indicates that she knows her diaper is full or wet.

Many families find it’s a good idea to have a potty chair around from when the child is about 18 months of age so she gets used to it.

Then when you decide the time is ripe, let her know.

Tell her you think she’s now ready to use the chair just like Mom and Dad use the toilet. Be matter-of-fact and relax.That is so important, I will repeat it: be matterof-fact and relax.When the time is right, offer your child the opportunity to get out of diapers. If he balks, back off and wait.

When he is successful don’t over-react. It’s not a Nobel Prize event. Be pleased and positive. Don’t talk about it all the time.

Nobody wants to be asked every five minutes if they need to pee. Do ask, but be reasonable. If you see that

he’s been engrossed in a game for awhile, then ask. If you know he had a big glass of water an hour ago, then ask.

Let your child set the pace. I remember asking my daughter if she wanted to wear training pants or diapers, and one day after a week of mainly dry pants she asked for diapers.Two hours later she was running a fever.

Obviously at some level she knew she was not ready to handle the responsibility of getting herself to the bathroom that day. After she had recovered from her short bout of illness she never wore diapers again. Accidents will happen. Stay calm. Let your child help with the cleanup and move on.We need to understand that when the time is right your child will figure it out, want to get into big-kid underwear and suddenly diapers will be a thing of the past.

Tire Pressure Over-inflated tires ride roughly and suffer premature wear at the center of their tread. Underinflated tires decrease fuel economy, cause imprecise handling, suffer premature wear at the edges of their tread, and can overheat and fail at highway speeds.

Tires typically lose about

one pound of pressure per month through normal seepage, and as seasons change, tires lose or gain another pound of inflation pressure with every 10 degree change in outside temperature.

Engine Air Filter Your vehicle’s air filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the engine.

A dirty or clogged air filter restricts airflow and will reduce engine performance

and fuel economy while increasing exhaust emission levels. Check the air filter every six months or 7,500 miles.Typically, your repair shop will inspect the filter at each oil change.You can check it by holding it up to a 60-watt light bulb. If you can see light through much of the filter, it is still clean enough to work effectively.

Learning to be good drivers ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

Last winter, Neil Prissick’s son was driving a friend’s car when it lost a tire on the Coquihalla highway.

But he knew what to do.

“It could have been much more serious.

Luckily he brought the vehicle under control and eventually off the side of the highway. But had he panicked or steered or used the breaks at the wrong time it could have been disastrous,” explains Prissick of his son’s actions.

“He’s a pretty good driver.”

Although he didn’t teach his son to drive, Prissick did teach him how to operate a vehicle in the snow and gain control in a skid, and it appears that the lesson paid off.

Teaching is nothing knew for Prissick, who has been a driving instructor at North Shore Driving School in North Vancouver for the past six years. He started out as an instructor for Class 5 and 7 learners, which are new drivers (either adults or teens), and he now instructs for Class 4 unrestricted

licence as well, so has a wide range of students. He is also an instructor-trainer so teaches others how to be instructors as well.

Prissick recommends all new drivers take lessons.

“Today’s driving environment has gotten so much more complex,” he says, noting one of the main goals of instruction is to teach new drivers how to be defensive drivers.

There are many good adult drivers on the road, but many of them have picked up some bad habits along the way, says Prissick. Bad driving habits can often be passed on to kids from parents.

Not long ago, Prissick says he saw a mother run a red light while talking on her cellphone, and she had two daughters in the car. As well as the obvious danger that it presented, Prissick says that type of driving could rub off on the daughters as well.

Kids learn by watching, and unfortunately in that case, those two girls may have learned that driving distracted and rolling through red lights is okay.

While distracted driving is a serious problem these days, there are many other errors that are common to new drivers.

“A lot of the common errors are habits they may have picked up from an adult or a co-pilot,” he notes.

When giving the official road exam, testers are looking for a variety of components such as observation skills, the speed at which the student drives, the space in which they drive, how they communicate with other users (including pedestrians), and how they

steer the vehicle, explains Prissick.

So there’s a lot to learn.

Basic safety that new students are made aware of at the school include proper seating position, making sure their seatbelt is properly put on so it’s not twisted, and making sure the head rest is at the correct height.

Some students are more confident than others when first starting out and some are “very, very nervous,” reports Prissick.

All students learn at different paces and in different ways, so his teaching includes See Knowing page 36

Tires pressure should be at the manufacturer’s settings, free of damage, and with a tread depth of at least 3 mm to prevent hydroplaning on rain soaked highways. The cooling system must be tested for leaks and with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and clean water. Testing coolant PH can determine whether it needs replacement. Check belts and hoses for wear and tear. Inspect brakes for uneven pad or shoe wear and check the entire brake system for wear, warping or excessive runout. Check your suspension components, shocks, struts, ball joints and tie rods. Make sure your wheels are aligned and set to properly to track down the road for optimum tire life and safety.

On the road, RV style ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

Keith Stewart admits there isn’t much parallel parking done in an RV. Usually much larger than an average car, recreational vehicles have been a popular mode of transportation since the 1950s, and allow their occupants to travel with at least some of the comforts of home.

RVs come in many sizes, and they are generally userfriendly, notes Stewart.

“They’re really easy to drive,” he says, adding it’s just a matter of getting used to the size.

Stewart is an RV technician and owns North Shore RV Centre in North Vancouver. He explains that there is no special licence required to drive an RV unless you are operating a large A-class, which is a bus style that may require another licence depending on the vehicle’s weight and if it has air brakes. Class-C is the most common type of RV. Stewart has driven his father-in-law’s A-class and has owned various camper vans since 1999.

“I like the convenience

of both aspects of an RV as well as a vehicle you can use regularly,” he says of theVolkswagen Eurovan he has owned for the past nine years.

Aside from esthetics, not a lot has changed on the manufacturing level for RVs in some time.

“Most RVs have basically the same features,” says Stewart.

Personalized features tend to depend on what suits the type of user, such as families who might want bunk beds for kids, or an older couple who only needs enough space for themselves.

The last big change was the introduction of slide-outs, which happened about two decades ago, notes Stewart. Slideouts are push-out rooms that could be part of the bedroom, living room or kitchen.They are another box to push out the side of the vehicle to create extra space inside.

Basic care of RVs is fairly simple these days. Just like owning a car, it’s beneficial for RV drivers to have an understanding of the basic mechanics of their vehicle in case something happens

on the road and an RV technician is not available, notes Stewart, but special mechanical knowledge isn’t necessary to operate an RV. Unlike a car, however, all RVs have holding tanks for toilet waste, as well as a separate holding tank for sink water and fresh water.Those tanks have to be dumped in specific dump locations provided by campgrounds, some gas stations, or some government places.The holding tank has to be emptied when full, but not necessarily every day, says Stewart. It depends on use.

Chemicals also have to be added to the holding tanks to keep odours down.

“It’s super straightforward.You can get premeasured amounts (and) you just drop a package into the toilet, flush it down,” explains Stewart. “A lot of the products are made to be convenient for everyone to use.”

One aspect of RV care that is important is maintenance on exterior seals. “People tend to forget about that aspect and discover that when they find the water it’s expensive to repair.”

Going on gravel roads, what have you, will eventually open up some of those seals and potentially cause water leaks.”

Beautiful British Columbia

When it comes to power, Stewart says RVs are just fine going uphill.

There are lots of different engine sizes and they are powerful, depending on the manufacturing level.

“If it’s built on a decentsized chassis that’s meant for the purpose of an RV then usually they’re quite capable of going anywhere,” says Stewart.

differences from cars, RVs are a popular choice of transportation for many people and Stewart understands why.

“There’s so much beautiful nature out there that everyone wants to get out there and see it. It’s a convenient way to take your house with you and have all the conveniences of home being out in the middle of the bush.”

Battery Cables/Clamps/ Terminals Power from the battery flows to the rest of your vehicle’s electrical system through the cables, clamps and terminals. If these components and connections become corroded or loose, your car won’t have the power needed to start the engine and operate other systems.

The battery cables, clamps and connections should be inspected at every oil change. If there are signs of corrosion, or you notice other indications of electrical problems, such as slow engine cranking or dimming headlights at idle, have your repair shop test the charging and starting system, and clean and tighten the battery connections as necessary.

Engine oil Without an adequate supply of clean oil, your engine will wear more rapidly and could even seize and be destroyed.

Oil doesn’t freeze like water, but its viscosity, or thickness, does increase as the mercury drops. Lightergrade oils reduce the load on your car’s battery and starter, allowing more rapid cranking and starting.

Lighter oils also reach critical engine lubrication areas much quicker than heavier oils, greatly reducing wear.The primary task of an engine coolant is to transfer heat from the engine to the radiator where it is removed by the passing airflow. Modern engine coolants also prevent the cooling system from freezing or boiling, protect the engine and cooling system from rust and corrosion, and lubricate the water pump seals and other cooling system components.

Check the coolant level at every oil change.With

a cold engine, the radiator should be completely full and the coolant level in the remote reservoir should be at or above the “cold” level marking. Have the system flushed and refilled with fresh coolant at the interval specified in your vehicle owner’s manual.

Drive belt tensioner One or more rubber drive belts transfer the rotation of the engine’s crankshaft to various accessories that help your vehicle function properly.

Belts that are too loose will allow slippage and reduce efficiency. Belts that are too tight can damage bearings and cause premature component failure. Drive belt condition and tension should be checked at every oil change. Many cars today have automatic belt tensioners that don’t require any maintenance.

On others, technicians must use a belt tension gauge to check and adjust the tension manually.To prevent being stranded by a broken accessory drive belt, have your car’s belts

replaced every four years or 60,000 miles. If a belt comes loose or breaks, it can cause major damage to your engine.

Brake Fluid The fluid in your car’s brake hydraulic system transfers your foot pressure at the brake pedal into stopping power at the wheels. An adequate supply of clean brake fluid is essential for safe vehicle operation. Old, moisturecontaminated brake fluid, or a low fluid level that allows air to enter the system, can lead to brake fade or a complete loss of braking power. Inspect the brake fluid level at every oil change. If the level has fallen below the “low” mark on the fluid reservoir, it usually indicates major brake wear or a leak somewhere in the system, so have the brakes inspected as soon as possible. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that the brake fluid be replaced periodically to flush moisture and contaminants from the system.

to EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE

Spot of tea service satisfying

Chris Dagenais

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for soup. page 38

Looking from the street through the window of Butter Lane Bake Shop and Tea House in Lynn Valley, you’d never guess that a cosy oasis awaits inside, a sanctuary from the endless traffic and tiresome must-turn-lefton-this-light-at-all-costs mentality that plagues the intersection out front.

When I first read the words “tea house” on the window of the shop, my initial question was “where?”

At first glance, Butter Lane appears to be a small take-away bakery, threequarters kitchen, onequarter customer space, with scant few tables set up in the front of the shop.

Inside the bakery, however, one discovers a discreet hallway leading to a happy, thoughtfully appointed back room in which tea services of varying complexity unfold.

It was here that I finally understood the appeal of afternoon tea, a meal service that I have typically found off-putting for its pomp and airs, with its dainty porcelain cups and the outstretched little fingers of cardigan-clad tea-sippers, pointing, with each precious sip, at doilies and paisley–patterned linens.

While Butter Lane certainly supplies most of the requisite props for

afternoon tea, including delicate cups and teapot cozies, it nevertheless manages to uphold a degree of authenticity and approachability. Near the end of my meal, Amy Symonds, the shop’s owner, began to clear the plates from the table and said, “I’ll see if I can do this all in one go. I’m a baker, not a server.”

Her statement reveals a perspective that I think informs the philosophy of the entire operation: Butter Lane is a place that is driven first and foremost by a love of baking; the meal service and guest quarters of the business are simply the means through which Symonds can share her passion.

The North Shore boasts a number of high-end, brilliantly polished bakeries that showcase their wares in refined settings conceived by top interior designers.This category of bakery usually celebrates the pedigree of its pastry chef with lengthy online biographies, monogrammed china, and tastefully branded boxes and bags, which, when brought to dinner parties, elicit appreciative coos from the host.

There is a place for these polished patisseries, to be sure, but I found it refreshing to experience Symond’s brand of nononsense, rolled-up sleeves and flour-dusted apron hospitality.

Butter Lane is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers a number of options through which guests can experience the shop’s goods.

On my visit, accompanied by my wife DJ and our two kids, we opted for the demi-tea service, a substantial meal offering an assortment of sweet and savoury treats and tea from

a menu featuring more than 60 blends, including a selection called Who Sencha, a complex and earthy green tea infused with walnut powder and dried berries.

We were served by Butter Lane’s co-owner (and Symonds’s daughter), Katie Linley.The mother and daughter team form a hospitable service duo, engaging guests in a knowledgeable and disarming manner that goes a long way in keeping their afternoon tea service grounded.

While DJ and I awaited our demi-tea meal, the kids gushed over a shared order of waffles with berries.The waffles were tall, springy and light and were accompanied by a healthy dollop of whipped cream and a reasonably portioned side of berry compote. Kids’ meals, which vary from waffles to mac and cheese, are just $6.

The demi-tea goodies arrived on a standard white platter rather than on the more conventional, three-tiered stand, which is reserved for Butter Lane’s full tea service.

DJ’s platter varied slightly from mine in the specific flavouring of certain sweets, but generally we were presented with the same mix, including crustless finger sandwiches of cucumber and cream cheese, ham and Dijon mustard, and cheddar, tomato and sprouts.

As an adult, there is something decidedly indulgent about eating sandwiches on white bread without the crusts. Maybe it’s because I grew up eating thinly sliced pumpernickel and other dark rye breads and the practice of forfeiting hearty crusts would have been verboten in my house.

The sweet elements on the plate were numerous

The bread was topped with a thin veneer of gingerinfused glaze and, with its notes of dark, toasted spice, seemed like it would be particularly well-suited to the colder season ahead of us, a season during which, I suspect, Butter Lane’s warm and comfortable tea room will become a popular destination.

Full afternoon tea service, which includes signature scones and an enhanced selection of baked items, is available by reservation and costs $21.50 per person.

Our meal of two demiteas (no reservations required) and two kids’ meals was $37.80 before gratuity. Butter Lane is located at 3022 Mountain Highway.

TASTE

Soup’s a warm treat for new season Sooner or later our blissful summer will be but a memory and the chilly days of autumn will be upon us.

It’s time for soup. Soup is one of my favourite dinners and also one of my favourite

things to cook.To me nothing is more comforting than a steaming bowl of homemade soup, and if you add a crisp green salad and some wonderful bread you have a simple but satisfying meal.

Sentinel Friday at William Griffin field and pulled out a 13-7 win to move to 1-0 in Western Conference AA league play.

It was a battle of the two newest football programs on the North Shore as both Sentinel and Argyle have been re-booted in the past four years. As two new kids in town they’ve developed their own little rivalry, said Theobald.

“Neither team is very fond of each other and the games are always very hard hitting affairs,” he said.

“Many of these players competed against each other in the GSL as youths.

NORTH SHORE SCORES

It’s been a hodgepodge, herky-jerky start to the high school football season but now, finally, teams are ready to run at full speed.

On the North Shore it’s been a mixed bag for the six senior teams with two teams — Windsor and Carson Graham — shut down during the now-resolved labour dispute while the other four — Argyle, Sentinel,West Vancouver and Handsworth — have been playing and practicing where and when possible.

Argyle, led by community coach Wayne Theobald, was one of the teams that was able to get in practices and play a couple of exhibition games while other teams were shut down. It took some logistical gymnastics, however, because the team did not practice on school grounds during the strike.

“We practiced anywhere we could,” said Theobald.

“We had all of the Argyle football equipment in my garage. Every practice we’d have to haul it all out and drive it to wherever we were going to. It was a pretty busy three weeks.”

The extra work, however, seems to have paid off so far as the Pipers are now the first North Shore team on the board with a regular season win. Argyle hosted

Wilkinson wins silver at rowing worlds throughout, holding off a late charge from the Canadians.

The 1-2 finish mirrored the podium placements for the two countries at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

“It’s not what we wanted, but we fought hard,” Wilkinson said in a Rowing Canada release. “We are going to go home and train, there is still a lot of speed to be gained.”

Canada ended the weeklong regatta with two silver medals, the other coming in the lightweight women’s double.

NorthVancouver’s Lauren Wilkinson helped Canada win silver in the glamour event of the 2014World Rowing Championships, the women’s eights.

The Canadians finished second behind the United States at the championships held in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Both teams clocked the exact same time in qualifying for the final, setting up a muchanticipated showdown on the last day of competition.
