Squamish Nation independent audit

$1.5 million in band funds not properly accounted for JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Two members of the Squamish Nation’s elected council have been stripped of their authority over financial matters after an independent investigation revealed a significant portion of $1.5 million from the band’s “emergency fund” was not properly accounted for over the past two years.

The investigation for the band council by lawyer Nazeer Mitha revealed former band services department head and councillor Krisandra Jacobs and elected band manager Glen Newman spent hundreds of thousands of

dollars in each of those years from the Squamish Nation’s emergency fund without keeping proper records about who was given the money, what it was used for or providing adequate supporting documentation.

The investigation revealed that while the band had a proper process for assessing who should get emergency funds and providing that money, most of the time, Jacobs and Newman ignored that. Instead they had cheques made out to themselves personally, which they cashed to provide money to band members without keeping proper records.

W. Van seeks input on ‘monster homes’

JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

If West Vancouver enacts any reduction to maximum allowable square footage in singlefamily homes, it will be over the staunch opposition of the district’s builders and developers.

Council moved unanimously to commence community consultation

and draft a bylaw that would address form and character in West Vancouver homes. The bylaw is tentatively scheduled to return to council for consideration in early 2015.

A boisterous crowd packed council chambers Monday, many of them concerned new regulations would strip freedoms from See Homeowners page 3

Homeowners urge tree bylaw From page 1 homeowners and cause the district’s real estate market to plummet.

The real estate market will drop this year, according to Mulberry Property Group director Sam Whiffin.

“Values will come down, and they won’t wait for next year to come down,” he warned.

Large homes are in demand because families need them, according to Whiffin.

“Generally, both parents work, they do have staff, they have large families,” he said. “If you want smaller houses, it’s not going to be as attractive for affluent people to live here.”

Council never intended to damage property values, assured Mayor Michael Smith.

“Obviously we’re all homeowners ourselves, so that wouldn’t be very smart,” he said.

While the vast majority of builders do fine work, there is a need for new rules to protect the special flavour of the district, according to Smith.

“We do have some builders that really don’t give a fig about the neighbourhood and act as if this was Newton instead of West Vancouver,” he said.

Council needs to act swiftly to remedy a problem

EOG(G CINDY GOODMAN that has been decades in the making, according to Coun. Trish Panz.

“We hear this constantly in this community, that we are losing the character of our neighbourhoods,” she said.

The issue is complicated

by West Vancouver’s topographical diversity,

according to Coun. MaryAnn Booth.

Booth suggested encouraging building basements in a bid to lower overall heights.

Several speakers, including real estate agent Marc Burrows, expressed concern that council was guided by nostalgia.

“West Vancouver’s no longer a fishing village,” he said. “Longtime residents are so desperate to preserve the social and domestic setting of 30 years ago, but those goals are deterring the next generation from investing here.”

Burrows cited several architects, including

Arthur Erickson, who built homes that were “drastically bigger” than was customary.

The discomfort of one family shouldn’t trigger the revision of the building policy, Burrows said, referring to David See Flyer page 8

AWestVancouver senior is in hospital with serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Lower Lonsdale.

The 80-year-old man was crossing Lonsdale Avenue at Fifth Street just before 8 p.m. Friday when a southbound driver in a Honda Civic collided with him, according to Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman.

B.C. Ambulance Service crews rushed the man to Lions Gate Hospital where he remains in treatment for internal injuries, head lacerations and broken ribs.

The driver, a 50-yearold North Vancouver woman, is co-operating with investigators but it’s too soon to say if there will be charges, De Jong said.

Conditions were dark with heavy rain at the time, he added.

“As far as the investigation goes, they’ll do an analysis of the scene — skid marks, lighting, witnesses, that sort of thing — to determine the cause.

At the end of the day, it may just be driver error, not seeing the pedestrian and lighting and rain and lack of reflectors on the pedestrian.”

Carson Graham teacher gets Prime Minister’s Award CHRISTINE LYON clyon@nsnews.com

A North Vancouver educator is one of 35 recipients of the Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence.

As one of just 10 individuals across Canada to receive a national-level Certificate of Excellence, Carson Graham secondary teacher-librarian Jennifer Tieche was invited to Ottawa earlier this month to personally receive her award from Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“Probably the best part was meeting people who are equally as passionate and who are doing just phenomenal things with kids,”Tieche says of her trip.

Twenty-five other teachers across the country received regional Certificates of Achievement.

Tieche has worked at Carson Graham for 12 years and helped contribute to the design of the school’s new learning commons.

Among the reasons she was honoured was her use of electronic communications and technology in the classroom.

“We like to provide access to students in as many ways as we can,” Tieche says. “(Teachers) don’t need to always be in front of the students. We can be available through email questions, we can be available via Twitter, we can be available through our online presence.”

Tieche was also recognized for supporting students with special needs and developing programs in the First Nations community. “I certainly did not do any of these major changes on my own,” she stresses. “I was

lucky to work on teams of people who changed how we deliver programs to students of aboriginal ancestry and to students with learning differences.What we’ve done is try to make a more inclusive environment where we are all just learners regardless of the social context that we bring.”

The Certificate of Excellence comes with a $5,000 cash prize, while the Certificate of Achievement comes with a $1,000 prize.

Recipients are chosen annually through a lengthy selection process.

“It was really a surprise to be nominated, frankly, because I’m just doing my job,” Tieche says. “I just happen to absolutely love my job, so I’m lucky in that regard.”

Government of Canada History Awards Two North Shore

teachers and three North Shore high school students are among the winners of the first ever Government of Canada History Awards.

To be eligible, Grade 10 and 11 students had to write a 1,000- to 1,200word essay based on one of five questions and high school teachers had to submit a classroom project on one of three themes.

Dan Conner and Paula Waatainen, both teachers at Rockridge secondary, were among 20 high school teachers across the country to receive the award. West Vancouver secondary students Kian Shahangyan and Christina Daudlin and Lions Gate Christian Academy student Ivan Hui were among the 100 students winners.

Winning teachers received $2,000 each, and students received $1,000 each.

Band members call for detailed audit From page 1

“One fact that is clear from the information, is that cheques were made payable to Mr. Newman and Ms. Jacobs on a very frequent basis,” wrote Mitha.

About 20 per cent of the cheque payments were made on the weekend, when the office was closed — after Jacobs called in a contact from the finance department to issue them to her.

On one Saturday in July 2011, Jacobs and Newman received cheques worth more than $15,000 in one day, according to the report.

The same thing happened on a Sunday a couple of months later.

Mitha wrote that while some of the money was accounted for, “a large portion of the money was not.”

Both Jacobs and Newman told Mitha they kept large amounts of cash in safes in their own homes to have available for emergency needs of band members.

During the investigation, Newman provided logbooks and bank records that indicated “a significant portion” of the money he received appeared to have been used “for purposes of members of the nation,” wrote Mitha.

Jacobs kept no records of how she spent the money, he

Jacobs told Mitha she cashed cheques herself and handed out money directly because many of the people who needed help were “very vulnerable and at the edges of society” and didn’t have bank accounts. People who got money also wanted to keep that completely confidential, she told him.

There appeared to be no set criteria for what the emergency money should be used for, according to the report. In some cases, it was used for expenses like

groceries, utility payments and prescriptions, wrote Mitha. But in other cases, it was spent on PNE passes,

Canucks tickets and parking fees.

Mitha wrote it is not possible without a bigger investigation to find out how the money was actually spent.

Mitha said while there was no evidence from his investigation that Jacobs used the money improperly, “she did clearly receive a personal benefit in that she was able to curry favour with many members of the nation by providing them with funds at her discretion.” He reached the same conclusion about Newman.

Chiefs and council for the Squamish Nation stated in a letter to band members that policies have now been changed to ensure greater accountability.

While Jacobs has been fired from her job, both she and Newman retain their elected positions.

No one from the Squamish Nation

administration, including chiefs and council, was available to speak about the report. However a number of band members are asking for more to be done.

Joanne Nahanee said she wants Jacobs and Newman removed from their elected positions. She said she also wants to see a detailed audit

of all departments in the band administration.

If a lack of accountability happens in one department, it could be happening in other departments too, said Nahanee.

OMG, points!

A

s of Monday, getting caught on your cellphone while driving will result in a $136 fine and three demerit points on your licence, bringing it in line with the penalty for texting, emailing or other such activity on an electronic device that takes your eyes off the road.

Rack up more than three points and it’s going to cost you even more or put you at risk of losing your licence.

We applaud the province for this. It is beyond irritating to catch another driver callously yammering away with only a fraction of his or her attention on the road.

And the province his signalled that fines for both offences may soon be ratcheted up, which we also cautiously approve of.

The notion of an all-in-one communications device demanding

MAILBOX

our attention throughout the day is relatively new in our culture and clearly we’ve got some growing up to do.

Distracted driving is the second leading cause of death on our roads, according to the province.

The fines and demerit points, if coupled with a persistent public education campaign, will help change our culture.

But it takes time.

Though impaired driving frustratingly still exists, the number of deaths due to drunk drivers has been on a downward trend for decades.

And if you really can’t wait to text your BFF or read that informative North Shore News tweet, take transit or join a carpool.You’ll be reducing traffic, saving money and cutting greenhouse gas emissions, making us all that much better off.

Cast your vote to end gridlock Dear Editor: So nice to see “progress” on the North Shore. The developers are running roughshod over the municipality with wonderfully named housing projects.

Everywhere you look, new condos are shooting skyward. And how does the North Shore handle all the growth?

Let’s rebuild the roadways all at once. Try to get around on the North Shore on any given day — Seylynn is a mess, Marine Drive and Capilano Road are torn up, the Low

Level Road saga continues, and what is that overpass going over Third Street hill? Is that for bicycles? The tax-paying bled-to-death automobile drivers are paying for that one.

But wait — there is a solution. Let’s add more stop lights, as if the one at Phibbs that routes traffic up the Cut was not enough (the light we all sit at and wonder why it is red).

Then off down Dollarton with its two uncoordinated traffic lights within 100 feet.

Who designs our road systems? Lower Lonsdale is now all torn up for god knows

what purpose.

It seems to me that “development” is just another word for chaos.

We are back to the way traffic was 20 years ago with the lights at Cassiar and Hastings.

Gridlock rules the Shore, folks. And just wait till a new traffic light appears on a street near you. Is this what the future looks like?

Let’s all get involved in community elections and end the madness.

Make doggie do an election issue this November Dear Editor: Dog poo — an election issue?

I’ll vote for a city council candidate that takes a stance on enforcing the city bylaws around pet excrement.

For 10 years we have been picking up little plastic baggies of poo, flung in our hedges, on our sidewalks and in our green bins. We have posted signs, posted the poo in baggies, and even provided baggies, to no avail. The last

CONTACTUS

straw was when poo was dropped right at the base of one of our signs.

When the city was phoned about signs and enforcement, they stated they were aware of the problem but could do nothing. I asked for bylaw sign(s). The city didn’t want to provide a bylaw sign because then they would have to put them everywhere.

What does that tell you?

I even offered to pay for a sign. Nope. Short

of purchasing expensive security cameras to catch the per“pet”rators in the act of leaving their dog poo — under the stealth of darkness — we are fit to be tied.

Sad, in this day and age, that some people need to be called out on their complete lack of consideration for others, especially the school kids who walk this route every day.

Optional spare tire surprises stranded driver Dear Editor: May I use your page to give a friendly warning to all Honda Fit owners.

Did you know you are driving around with no spare tires? Probably you are like me and assume you are covered until you hit a large pothole on the Lower Capilano Road in the middle of a dark night.

You are stranded and have no one to help you but a tow truck. Honda Canada removed the spare tires to make the cars more fuel efficient, but didn’t tell us.

The 2015 model will now have a spare tire. I wonder why?

Please check your car, and buy a spare tire.

WV school trustees enter debate International students, technology among top issues

The West Vancouver school board’s role in repairing the combative relationship between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was one of several issues discussed at the trustees’ debate Oct. 15 at Kay Meek Centre.

Eight candidates made their pitch to oversee education as part of the West Vancouver Board of Education, which faces three vacancies as trustees Reema Faris, Jane Kellett and chairwoman Cindy Dekker will not seek reelection.

A labour dispute centring on class size and composition resulted in a delayed and abbreviated school year.

and Amber Trent, of Kensington Crescent.

The Caulfeild couple recently garnered headlines after filing a lawsuit over the safety hazards and constant disruption posed by the construction of a 17,500-square-foot-home next door.

Trent urged council to examine housing bulk, tree retention, and safety.

“Since June we’ve been in tears at the destruction of our neighbourhood,” he said.

Trent showed slides illustrating an imposing rubble pile and lost trees.

“Every surrounding municipality has some sort of bylaw on trees on private property. We have nothing,” he said.

Trent also spoke about the erosion of a community that was once filled with neighbours who looked out for one another.

Monster homes are a perpetual problem in West Vancouver with excavators constantly

governing bulk and form be drawn up for each of the district’s distinct communities.

“We all know one size doesn’t fit all,” she said.

“We can all get along but we shouldn’t force one side on the other.”

The district’s official community plan ensures new homes will be sympathetic with neighbourhood character, but that hasn’t been happening, according to Coun. Nora Gambioli. “We are not following our own OCP,” she said.

Many speakers were brought to the meeting by what Gambioli called a “cowardly and shameful” flyer that incorrectly stated council would reduce the square footage of homes in Ambleside and Dundarave.

However, the flyer does have an upside, she added.

“It has caused the benefit of engaging a lot of you, 95 per cent of whom I don’t recognize and have never seen here in council chambers, so that seems like a good start.”

blasting, according to Sander Heynemans. “Up until a few years ago, all was well, until the big money discovered our neighbourhood and brought with them a truck full of dynamite.”

Heynemans took exception to comments from several speakers.

“I’m getting to think that the real estate industry is unionized,” he said.

Homeowners should be informed before “neighbourhood-busting designs” break ground, according to Heynemans.

“The real power lies with the mantra that keeps coming from city hall: ‘they are in compliance with all the bylaws.’ Council and planning must engage the stakeholders in order to reform the bylaws so you don’t just function as the complaint department.”

The problem will likely not be solved with a district-wide bylaw, according to councilwatcher Carolanne Reynolds, who suggested distinct guidelines

Candidate calls for cuts to private school funding From page 7

chairman Pieter Dorsman suggested a “radical overhaul of labour relations” is needed to divorce political conflict from education. “As a Dutchman, I’m from a country where we build consensus,” he said.

Dorsman suggested the current bargaining structure could be reformed under the guidance of a royal commission.

School boards should be more visible in their advocacy for the BCTF, including petitioning MLAs and the Minister of Education, according to District Parent Advisory Council president Sheelagh Donahue.

“I think that will go a long way to repairing that relationship with the BCTF,” Donahue said.

On a per student basis, private schools receive as much as 50 per cent of the funding that goes to public schools.

That figure should likely be reduced, according to incumbent

David Stevenson. “I’m not sure that it benefits public education to have such a large amount of the budget go into the private sector,” he said.

International students have been a financial boon to West Vancouver, with approximately 600 young scholars paying $14,200 in annual tuition. However, the school board may be overly reliant on overseas learners, according to Jim Boyd, who pointed to the need to find new sources of revenue.

“The final resort would be to cut costs if the revenue went down,” he said.

With many nations facing imperiled economies, the onus is on West Vancouver to look for other funding sources, agreed community volunteer Rob Inman.

Students from other countries and districts studying in West Vancouver aid the district, according to Donahue.

“We have a structural deficit in this district and we need to make up that deficit.”

Parent advisory council member Nicole Brown agreed, stressing the tie between funding and enrolment. “We don’t have tons of families moving in here,” Brown said.

Parents should have the option of putting their children in alternative, public or private school, according to Brown. “I don’t think we should be eliminating choice for parents. I’m pro-choice for parents,” she said.

The school board might benefit from greater autonomy in terms of allowing the superintendent, teachers and administrators to decide on class size, according to Inman.

The debate, which was moderated by a representative from West Vancouver Citizens for Good Government, touched on the intersection of education and technology.

West Vancouver schools need funding for their sporadically effective wireless service, according to Inman. “The Internet hardly ever works. The

WiFi works for an hour, they’re down for an hour,” he said.

Cutting-edge technology is largely ineffective without trained teachers, according to Brown.

“You can have all the computers in the classroom you want but it’s not going to be authentic learning . . . if the teachers don’t have the support to bring it into the classroom,” she said.

Technology is increasingly prevalent, but Irene Leschert said the lessons her motherin-law taught in a oneroom schoolhouse remain relevant.

“There’s things that she taught those kids that all our kids need to hear: that they are valued.”

Leschert was part of the team that hired West Vancouver school district superintendent Chris Kennedy.

West Vancouver’s next all-candidates debate is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday at Gleneagles Community Centre, 6262 Marine Dr.

Members point finger at council From page 5 Nation who lives off reserve, agreed.

Brown said the administration and band council are also to blame for the situation. “They didn’t do due diligence,” she said.

“They are supposed to provide oversight.”

Both Nahanee and Brown said they intend to ask other authorities to review the report, including Indian and Northern Affairs. About $14 million of the band’s $57million annual budget comes from the federal government.

It’s that time of year again.

It’s the annual dentist association-sponsored sugar fest of Halloween.

Well, not really, but it is the day when your little ones perform their personal miniseries of the Sugar Poltergeist.

Your overzealous neighbour has turned his front yard into the regional winner of the Disney haunted house.

What can you do to top this? Sugar, headspinning decorations and decapitated mannequins are just not going to do it.

Leave it to the dollar stores to come up with some great decorations for this year’s Hallows’ Eve. If you are running short of time — and let’s face it, everyone is on Halloween night — here is a simple and easy idea to adorn your front door for the little ones and possibly an arachnophobe.

hold the spiders in place for a longer period of time, however they could potentially damage the paint or stain on your front door. It’s best to test them first if you decide to go this route. Otherwise regular scotch tape will work fine for the evening.

Attach your spiders to your front, exterior door or

any light-coloured interior door in a random fashion.

Using a light-coloured door is best for this idea for the spiders to stand out.

Placing a hidden spot light in your garden and directing it on an angle toward the spiders is a great way to draw attention to them.

You may also be able

to find some larger variety of artificial spiders to complement the smaller ones. Look for them at craft stores such as Michaels.

Carnivorous plants chomp ghoulish guests

Up the ante of Halloween displays with themed decor from the garden Spruce up this year’s frightful Friday festivities with some Halloweenthemed plants to delight and scare your guests.

At this time of year it can be difficult to find Halloween-themed plants but it’s not impossible.You have to be a little more creative and move beyond the traditional orange and black colours of Halloween.

Indoors, few plants can engage guests better than a Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula).The carnivorous flytrap has gnarly looking claw-like leaves with sensitive trigger hairs ready to snare unsuspecting insects. It’s one of nature’s few carnivorous plants that traps insects in its leaves to be eaten by slow dissolve digestion.

For a creepy but fun experience, have your guest gently touch the flytrap’s leaf hairs and watch as the leaf springs closed on their unsuspecting fingers.

However, over-stimulating the same leaf without a food reward, like an insect, may cause that leaf to become unresponsive to touch, changing to become photosynthetic only and no longer used for

insect digestion.

Another cool insectdigesting plant is called the Cobra plant (Darlingtonia californica) because it looks like a rearing cobra snake. Darlingtonia has tall tube-shaped leaves that emit a sweet fragrance to attract insects into the tube to drown to death in a toxic digestive solution.

Often called a “pitfall” carnivorous plant, the Cobra plant is native to northern California and southern Oregon. If you ever make your way to Oregon visit the Darlingtonia State Natural Site in Oregon to see Cobra plants growing in the wild.

You can occasionally buy Cobra plants in the water plant section of local garden centres.

For the traditional orange and black colour scheme use pumpkins and gourds as a starting point to frame the rest of the display. Choose pumpkins of varying sizes and shapes to provide interest for the viewer. Carve some and don’t carve others.

You can also spray paint some pumpkins or gourds white to look like ghost-kins.

Gourds on the other hand are not widely popular

with everyone. Some people like gourds while others find them a little gross.

Regardless of your taste, choose gourds for Halloween based on their “gross out” factor to add to the spooky atmosphere. I like lots of gourds placed in plant pots, baskets or sprawled on the ground as if trying to escape the party.

There are plenty of dried seeds and fruits to use for Halloween. One of the coolest cuts comes from the Chinese lantern plant (Physalis alkekengi). Physalis is not one of my favourites to grow in the garden due to its spreading habit. So I usually contain it by planting inside some form of buried-in-the-ground containment like plastic or metal edging. Despite its habit, there is no other plant that produces such cute bright orange fruits shaped like a little Japanese lantern or pumpkin.The Chinese lantern’s orange fruit covering slowly ages and dries to reveal a small reddish fruit inside of a ghostly white covering of skeletal veins. So both forms of the fruit can be used for display.

Late fall can be a tough time to find hardy Halloween-themed

plants but there are a few. Black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’) forms a loose mound of narrow, grass-like black leaves. It

grows approximately 15 centimetres or six inches tall. It’s best planted in bright light conditions in the garden to retain the black leaf colour as it fades to

green in too much shade.

hallowed displays.

After many attempts at breeding, there are some black or near-black pansies on the market. Several varieties are sold at garden centres including Black Accord, Black Prince and Black Magic. Best planted in pots near the front door to keep them out of the rain, black pansies will flower from now until spring.To show off their black flowers, plant them with orange pansies, near pumpkins and with other contrasting colours.

Other plants with black, or at least dark purplered foliage, include some ornamental cabbages and some edible kales. And there’s the dark purple to deep burgundy-leaved carpet bugle (Ajuga reptans). It’s a sweet little groundcover, growing 10 centimetres or four inches tall with a preference for bright morning sun and partial afternoon shade. Choose from dark-leaved varieties like Metallica Crispa, Bronze Beauty or Catlin’s Giant and plant at the edge of pots or the front of a planting bed.

There are some rare

plants for Halloween like the Dracula orchid (Dracula sergioi), the Voodoo lily (Sauromatum venosum) and the Corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) but all are hard to find commercially and require specialist growing knowledge. Rare is not always best, especially at Halloween, so check the garden to find some cuts and clips for your own spooky display.

Local dancer goes national North Vancouver’s Sydney MacLennan is among 40 Lower Mainland dancers accepted onto Team Canada West who will represent the country in jazz/ballet and modern at the International Dance Organization World Championships in Poland this December.

MacLennan trained at OneDance Creative Art Centre in North Vancouver for 13 years.

Team Canada is headed by choreographer Danielle Gardner of SoYou Think

You Can Dance for jazz and modern, choreographer Caitlin Griffin for ballet, and is assisted by choreographer Charlene Hart.

To make the trip a reality, each dancer must raise $3,600 plus costume fees.

To reach that goal, the team is holding a fundraising show called Gala for Gold, featuring performances and a silent a live auction, on Nov. 29 at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster.

NEW HELP WITH HOME FIRE PREVENTION FREE HOME INSPECTION for the first 100 calls.

If you’ve been following the news in the last six months, you’ll notice there have been a number of house fires in North and West Vancouver. In fact, across the country, a house fire is reported every 26 minutes.

Andrew and Michelle Howie also noticed and decided to do something about it.

They are the people behind Fire Medx, the North Shore’s advanced new mobile fire-safety company. Offering an innovative array of fire safety, earthquake and emergency preparedness products and services, they are the answer to many North and West Vancouver home owners’ prayers.

“We deliver a service and safety program right to your door,” says Michelle.

“We offer you convenience by providing a complete package of home fireproofing products, first aid, emergency preparedness packs and services. From providing and installing smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to creating a detailed escape plan, we are here to help.”

After studying some of the disturbing statistics about the frequency of home fires and often tragic consequences, Andrew and Michelle became convinced that home owners needed to be better educated and prepared about fire safety. Fire Medx is designed to provide you with the right knowledge and equipment so you can protect your homes and ensure the personal safety of those you love.

They also keep up to date with the details of municipal bylaws regarding home fire alarms many people might not be aware of.

“We provide you with a high level of service that complies with the new smoke alarm bylaw and give you peace of mind through professional customer service, driven dedication and convenience.”

Dale, your North Shore manager indicates most home owners understand the need for emergency preparedness but lack the expertise and time to put something in place.

“Fire Medx saves you the time and takes the worry and frustration out of getting ready for emergencies. We deliver quality products, professionalism and peace of mind.”

If you would like to find out more about Fire Medx, give Dale a call at 694-306-3052 or check them out online at firemedx.com.

Oil Tank Removal Expertise If you’re looking at buying or selling an older home, you may be faced with a cost that is literally hidden- removing an underground oil tank. While some municipalities require the removal of underground storage tanks and some do not, most real estate transactions and mortgage and insurance companies have policies in place that demand underground tanks be removed.

For over 25 years, North Vancouver’s Tank Tech has specialised in oil tank locating and removal as well as soil testing, remediation and more. Certified members of the Petroleum Tank Management Association, the experts at Tank Tech work in strict compliance with all provincial and municipal laws and regulations to provide a high level of professional service for safe and efficient removal and disposal of underground tanks.

“

Even if you aren’t planning on selling in the immediate future, if you have an older oil tank on your property, it pays to remove it sooner rather than later. The average life span of an underground tank is 15-20 years. After that, corrosion builds up and the tank can start to leakleading to extensive soil damage which you are responsible to clean up.

Even if you aren’t planning on selling in the immediate future, if you have an older oil tank on your property, it pays to remove it sooner rather than later.

Members of the Better Business Bureau, Tank Tech crews are fully insured and covered under WorkSafe BC and trained in the transportation of dangerous goods.

His approach of blending his structures with the hi natural environment and using local materials in us their construction created a th school of thought that is still followed.

Over a career that spanned 66 years he designed more than th 1,100 projects. During his hi lifetime 532 of them were built, bu and while the majority of them were constructed in the eastern states, there are a number of West Coast buildings that have largely been ignored by historians.

Mark Anthony Wilson, working with photographer Joel Puliatti, has corrected that oversight with this stunning collection of buildings that stretch from southern California up to Seattle. Of the 36 structures that were built between 1909 and 1959, 34 remain intact and largely unchanged.

Wilson presents these buildings in chronological order and provides extensive details about their design, construction, and the original owners and their interaction with Wright. The Walker House at Carmel is one that Wright referred to as his little masterpiece because of its perfect execution of his organic design that blended the building and its site so well. At 1,200 square feet it is small by Wright’s normal standards but its beauty is unchanged in the 70 years since it was built.

Each one of these unique buildings is a testament to Wright’s genius and vision.

It’s Official: The National Sleep Foundation Makes Its Selection Minnesota Man Miraculously Invents The World’s Most Comfortable Pillow omfortabll e P i llow and is Finally Validated!

Chanhassen, MN - You know how the old saying goes: never count a person out. We say this in reference to the down-and-out character who made it to the heights of his dreams, pulling himself up by his bootstraps to achieve success. Are there real people with lives so incredible, they just need to be told? You be the judge.

Meet Mike Lindell, an inventor and entrepreneur whose story is the stuff from which famous sayings are born. Lindell really enjoys sharing how he overcame the kind of life many others know well, too. His story goes like this: Throughout the 80s and 90s, Lindell struggled with addictions. With no regard for making choices to improve his life Lindell says, “I had taken my addictions to the limit and could not go on one more day living that way.” He recognized the desire for more and wanted to positively impact people. So overnight and with the grace of God, Mike Lindell stopped his addictive behavior and found a new way.

A Better Path With a clear head and focused mind, Lindell set out to solve a problem he’d experienced since boyhood. He says, “Even as a youngster I suffered from a lack of good, quality sleep.” Lindell had gone to great lengths to get a good night’s sleep, even spending an entire paycheck at age 16 on an expensive pillow in hopes of curing his sleep woes but to no avail. Lindell would toss and turn at night, fold his pillow in half, use his arm for support, only to wake more tired than when he went to sleep. To study his issues more deeply, Lindell consulted with experts in the sleep industry and after gathering all the data (as well as and stories from friends), more than ever Lindell recognized and understood the harmful effects of poor sleep. Even more so, Lindell realized the effect of sleep interruptions permeate the lives of all walks of people.

Lindell continues, “I was acutely aware of what was wrong but still needed to answer the biggest question of all, WHY?” Eureka Moment

discover the villain and cause of his sleep deprivation was none other than the pillow he was sleeping on. So Lindell tried “every pillow in the world,” but found common pillows did not provide adequate support for cervical alignment. “Most pillows cause sleep interruptions by going flat, heating up and causing you to toss and turn all night trying to readjust the pillows over to the cool side,” Lindell explains. “The effect prevents people from enjoying the uninterrupted REM sleep our bodies need to rejuvenate and heal.” Lindell theorized that a pillow providing proper support of the cervical nerves and vertebral arteries would allow users to get the deep healing sleep they want and need. So he set out to invent and manufacture “The World’s Most Comfortable Pillow.”

Four Million People Can’t Be Wrong Year after year, Lindell marketed the pillows he’d created throughout the country at shows and expos during the day and worked alongside his family at night to make the pillows. He also spent time talking with consumers about their personal sleep frustrations. Lindell’s MyPillow is designed to conform to each individual’s support needs. It is washable and dryable, stays cool and is guaranteed not to go flat for 10 years. Lindell even provides a 60-day, no questions asked money-back guarantee.

Though Lindell was originally told by the big bedding companies that his unorthodox business plan would put him out of business, his company now boasts more than 300 employees, maintains an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, and offers duty-free shipping from a distribution plant located in Manitoba, Canada. Recently MyPillow was selected as the National Sleep Foundation’s only ever official pillow, and in 2013 was awarded the prestigious QStar Award for “Product Concept of the Year” by QVC. Lindell himself has become well-recognized due to his frequent infomercial airings and guest appearances on shows such as Imus in the Morning. All this time later Lindell says he has learned the value of making choices that, “not only better my own life, but also improve the lives of others.” His is a story thatis so unique, it simply has to be true.

Process of elimination led Lindell to

Inventor, Manufacturer and C.E.O. of MyPillow®, Inc., Michael J. Lindell. Chanhassen, MN is where The World’s Most Comfortable Pillow is made and your best night’s sleep is created.

In the early days, Mike and family spent countless hours hand making each MyPillow. This dedication to “doing it right” has helped MyPillow to become a classic tale of success.

MyPillow’s patented fill adjusts to your individual needs. According to WebMD, a “Good Night’s Sleep” may help reduce the risk of: • • • •

Colds, Allergies & Flu Heart Disease Diabetes Obesity

• • • •

Drowsy Driving Migraines Snoring & Sleep Apnea Restless Leg Syndrome

Discover Great Sleep Just Like these People Jacqueline H. wrote; “I was diagnosed Olga B. wrote; “My life’s with various sleep issues. Until then I’d had no idea why my sleep was so interrupted throughout the night. I watch Imus each morning and heard endless testimonials about MyPillow. I took Imus’ advice and ordered a MyPillow. I now wake up rested and ready to conquer the day ahead. I never travel anywhere without MyPillow.

Thank you for helping me remember what it’s like to sleep like a baby!”

mission to find a perfect pillow for me, has ended after 45 years!

I can’t express just how much I love these pillows and then to make the deal even better, they’re washable, and get this... made in the U.S.A. to boot. You can’t top that. I have had mine for two years and they feel like the first night I slept on them, really!”

PARENTING

Plan ahead for a safe Halloween night Halloween. It used to be so simple.

For children, it’s a wonderful holiday quite unlike any other.They get to be out after dark, dress in outfits, go from house to house and collect goodies.

It’s strange, slightly scary, spooky, exciting and fun.

For parents, Halloween has become a frightening ritual.We’re nervous about stranger abduction, traffic and the safety of the goodies our children are receiving. But, if we just do some planning, it can be safe and fun for both kids and their parents.

Halloween is unique and should be a positive experience for our children.

Sometimes we work too hard to make it totally safe and in doing so we take away the specialness of the holiday.

Costumes: Make sure that the costume is comfortable and easy to move around in. Children will not be walking sedately; they will often be running, so consider that when you plan their clothing.

It’s dark outside, so have them wear costumes that are a light colour or use reflective tape.The more visible your child is, the safer he will be.

October weather can be cold, so design his costume so that it’s large enough to accommodate warm clothing underneath.That can be a challenge if your little princess is also going to an indoor party, but a pretty, flimsy dress without a coat just isn’t going to work in October.

Comfortable walking shoes are a must. If they

Kathy Lynn

Parenting Today need boots, ensure that they are ones that will be comfortable all evening.

And it’s a good idea to use makeup instead of masks so they can see more easily. If they wear a mask, have them put it on only when they get to the door and remove it as they leave for the next house.

Kids Who Go Out Alone: Young children are happy to have their parents walk with them. Slightly older children (six to eight) will accept their parents’ company as long as it’s subtle.That means you stay on the sidewalk and don’t go to the door. Let them walk in front of you with their friends or siblings.

By nine or 10 years they want parents to stay home. If they are already experienced walking in the neighbourhood by going to school, the homes of friends or the local store, this is easier.

You won’t want her to go out alone. So have her plan to go with friends you trust.Then talk to the other parents so the children they are out with have the same limits and expectations.

It’s much too confusing when it’s different for each

child. Jennifer’s mom says they can go six blocks in each direction but Madison’s folks say they can only go east and west but the streets to the north are too busy.Which rules will the kids follow?

So plan a route with the group of kids and their parents.Take into account the blocks you consider are most likely to be welcoming to kids. Let them know they should only approach houses with outside lights turned on.

I think it’s a great idea to plan a route that has the children check in at one of their homes part way through their walk.You can check their candy, they can warm up and gab excitedly about the experience so far and use the bathroom.

One advantage we have with today’s kids is that at least one of them will have a phone so you know that if they have a problem they can call, and being that they are in your neighbourhood they won’t be far away.

The Biggest Source of Danger: Fireworks and firecrackers are a major problem. In the first place, children do not understand that they do burn.They treat them as toys and they are not.

They take them apart and put the gunpowder into pipes, creating dangerous weapons. Make sure you talk to your kids about the dangers associated with firecrackers.

If you are going to be

setting off fireworks for the kids, take all the necessary precautions and ensure that your kids see how careful you are.When they see that you respect the dangers and are careful, they will understand the need for care.

Once you have prepared your kids for a safe holiday, relax and enjoy this one night of magic and mystery.

The Dish

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for chicken legs. page 31

Some restaurants have achieved fame on the basis of exceedingly complex food preparations and dramatic plate presentations.

Heston Blumenthal’s legendary Fat Duck in Berkshire, England, made global headlines with a dish called Sounds of the Sea, an edible shoreline with a foaming ocean made of shellfish and sand made of crumbled ice cream cones and tapioca maltodextrin.

As diners were presented with the dish, they were issued iPods that played sounds of squawking seagulls and lapping waves, which helped round out the mock seaside experience.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, chef Grant Achatz’s ode to new American cuisine, Alinea, featured a dish of bacon with apple leather, which was suspended from a thin wire fixed to two ends of a shiny, stainless steel, u-shaped contraption.

The resulting presentation, a bold contrast between the organic and the industrial, made it seem like the bacon was zip-lining across the diner’s place setting, perhaps trying to escape

DJ and I began our meal with a couple of appetizer favourites, Gamberi al Martini and Mozzarella Marinara. The gamberi features five enormous, grilled prawns in a lemon and caper butter sauce, heavily studded with garlic.

The sauce invariably precipitates a near sensory overload with its bracing citrus tartness that is barely contained by the rich buttery notes. I have learned to proactively ask for more bread with this dish as I am loathe to leave any sauce behind on the plate. A glass of crisp, acidic New Zealand sauvignon blanc was a good complement.

DJ’s mozzarella was warm and melting underneath its

golden veneer of breading.

The square of cheese, rich, salty and toasty, is served in a shallow pool of tomato and basil sauce, which tastes precisely of those two ingredients and nothing more. The simplicity of the sauce is refreshing and, similar to my prawn dish, begs to be mopped up with bread.

I find it difficult to choose between one of Bravo’s nearly 20 pastas and their Secondi Piatti, or main entrées, which include risotto, lamb, veal, salmon and shellfish. On this particular visit, the difficulty of a meal selection was compounded by the evening’s special of beef tenderloin with gorgonzola and toasted walnuts, roasted potatoes and vegetables.

chose not to choose in the end, and asked for a half order of fettuccine “Expo 86” as an intermezzo before the beef. The pasta, expertly made and served al dente, featured fresh crab meat and shrimp in a light tomato cream sauce with, once again, a truly formidable garlic kick.

The tenderloin was dense and tender, arriving just a touch over the requested medium-rare, but still mildly pink in the centre and wonderfully juicy. The toasted walnuts were blended directly into a generous topping of soft gorgonzola, salty and pungent, and provided a powerful lift to the beef. A glass of rich and round Chateau St. Michelle cabernet sauvignon stood up well to the

the inevitable barrage of Pinterest-bound smartphone photos.

These chefs represent the apex of culinary creativity and imagination. Theirs is a kind of academic art, cerebral and challenging.

But as I recently plucked what promised to be the very last San Marzano tomato of the season from my small patio garden, I thought of another kind of art, the raw and simple art of unspoiled nature. How perfect this tomato was, fragrant, sweet and acidic.

What could I possibly do to that tomato to make it any better? Nothing, I concluded.

This conclusion seems to be shared by the kitchen team at Bravo Cucina, Central Lonsdale’s longstanding home to simple, approachable Italian food. I visited Bravo recently with my wife DJ. It had been a while since our last visit.

We were pleased to learn that Bravo Cucina’s menu remains largely unchanged, featuring the same reliable, thoughtful assortment of appetizers, pastas and entrées that it did nearly a decade ago when we first dined there.

There is something comforting about Bravo’s static menu selection, not unlike the comfort found in visiting family and knowing that tried and true favourite dishes will be prepared according to a familiar recipe. Also, the menu is lengthy and provides a showcase for a wide variety of ingredients, including seafood, cheeses, cured and grilled meats, homemade pastas and sauces based

Chicken legs are an easy-to-make meal Chicken legs, whether you buy them whole or separated into drumsticks and thighs, are one of the most economical cuts of meat, and also one of the most versatile.

If I’m using thighs, I prefer them with the bone in (remember the old saying about the meat being sweeter closer to the bone?), but feel free to use boneless, skin-on or skinless.

Any one of the recipes below would make a quick and delicious weeknight dinner.Your favourite potato side dish, or rice and a green vegetable or salad will round out the meal nicely.

Honey Mustard Baked Chicken 1½ lbs chicken legs, thighs or drumsticks 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp curry powder ¼ cup liquid honey ¼ cup butter, melted ½ tsp garlic powder Preheat oven to 350º F.

½ tsp seasoned salt ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper ¼ tsp cayenne (use more or less according to taste) 12 chicken thighs or drumsticks, or a combination 1 cup melted butter

Romancing the Stove

Place the chicken pieces in a greased, shallow baking dish, skin side up. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, mixing well.

Pour the mustard mixture evenly over the chicken and bake for about one hour and 15 minutes, basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, tender and nicely browned. Makes four servings.

Sticking to the theme of simplicity, DJ chose Linguine Bella Napoli for her main, a straightforward but satisfying pasta with tomato and basil sauce.

Preheat oven to 425º F. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper and cayenne.

Dip the chicken pieces one at a time in the melted butter, coating them completely, then roll them in the flour mixture to coat completely.Then dip them in the butter again, and then again in the flour mixture.

Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in a greased baking dish. Bake until chicken is cooked through and coating is golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Makes six servings.

Sweet & Sticky Baked Chicken 2½ lbs chicken legs, thighs

or drumsticks ¾ cup liquid honey ½ cup soy sauce ¼ cup ketchup 2 cloves garlic, minced Freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 350º F. Sprinkle chicken generously with pepper and place in a baking dish lined with foil.

Combine the honey, soy sauce, ketchup and garlic in a large measuring cup and microwave for about 30 seconds; pour the honey mixture evenly over the chicken.

Bake the chicken for 45 minutes; remove from oven and turn the chicken pieces over. Raise the oven temperature to 425º F and return chicken to oven; bake until the sauce is bubbly and starts to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let chicken stand for five minutes before serving. Makes six servings.

Big dreams for young Blues

ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

Scan this photo with the Layar app or visit nsnews.com to see photo galleries from Friday’s Capilano vs.

Douglas men’s and women’s volleyball matchups.

For a few minutes in their season opening match it didn’t appear to matter that the Capilano Blues men’s volleyball team was up against a Douglas College squad with bigger, stronger and more experienced players on it.

It didn’t matter that the Royals were the defending PacWest provincial champions while the Blues trotted out a lineup that featured no returning starters from last year’s team that finished fourth in the league and lost in the opening round of the playoffs.

It didn’t matter that the Blues had another new coach — the fifth time in the past six years that they’ve started a new season with a different head coach than the one who finished the previous season — with Drew Venables making his rookie debut as a collegiate head coach.

Once you toss the ball up for the first serve, none of it matters. And on opening night Friday at the Capilano Sportsplex, the Blues were going toe-to-toe with the champs.

“You always have these grand ideas that you might just win every single game you ever coach,”Venables said with a laugh after the match.

Upset mode was in full effect in the first set with the teams battling to a 20-20 tie in the race to 25 before Douglas rolled off three straight points.The Blues battled back to 24-23 but

From there, however, the grand ideas of an undefeated lifetime were swept aside as Douglas took control and won the next two sets to finish off a 25-23, 25-15, 25-19 sweep.

Though the final score looked lopsided,Venables said he liked what he saw from his young team as they battled what is projected to be one of the best teams in the league.

“Seeing the top team it’s nice that you can gauge yourself, where you’re at,” he said. “I’m not disappointed with our guys’ effort. . . . I thought we had a chance to win tonight. It’s encouraging, because in my opinion they were the best team coming in to the start of the year. If that’s where we’re at, then I’m pleased with our start.”

The Royals beat the Blues again the following night to hand Capilano

an 0-2 record to start the season.The job of whipping a bunch of new parts into a machine that can climb back up the standings now lies with Venables, a former CIS player with stints as an assistant coach at Thomspon Rivers University, Capilano and Vancouver Island University on his resume, as well as experience as a head coach in club programs and with British Columbia provincial teams.Venables took over

for Nathan Bennett who moved to Thompson Rivers University.

Venables inherits a lineup that is led by third year captain Taylor Hammond, an explosive outside hitter and server from Regina.

“He’s our vocal leader,” said Venables. “It’s nice to see he was one of the guys who put in a lot of work in the weight room over the summer. I think it showed a See Rookie page 34

One of Nathan Vanderkuip earliest memories of his Opa is of him talking to Nathan about the importance of voting. Born in Russia, Nathan’s Opa did not have the ability to vote until he immigrated to Canada. He felt a free election, a democracy, was the single best thing about living in Canada, and that voting is a right that is too often taken for granted. Since Nathan has been able, he has voted in every election (municipal, provincial and federal), and taken his kids to the voting station each time to teach them the lesson that his Opa taught him. #whyIvote

Eagles edge Royals in Bowl shootout Pipers take down No. 1 John Barsby

It was a scintillating weekend of North Vancouver football as the Carson Graham Eagles topped the Handsworth Royals in a screamer of a Buchanan Bowl while the Argyle Pipers made waves on Vancouver Island, knocking off No. 1-ranked John Barsby.

The Eagles and Royals battled in an all-time classic Saturday that came down to the wire with Carson securing a 49-48 victory.

The Royals erased a twotouchdown deficit in the fourth quarter, scoring their final major in the last minute of play to make it 49-48. Handsworth elected to go for the win with a two-point convert rather than kicking for a tie, and their bid for the end zone fell short.

Carson quarterback Mike Worthen had a big

day, completing 23 of 29 passes for 370 yards and three touchdowns. Kieran Benedito caught seven passes for 124 yards and a touchdown while Lucas Bill hauled in six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.

Tyler Nylander had the other touchdown catch while also grabbing two interceptions.

Russell Tolentino led the way for the Eagles on the ground, rushing 23 times for 153 yards and two touchdowns.

Handsworth was led by Gerard Cerasco who scored four touchdowns while racking up 231 all-purpose yards.

Argyle, meanwhile, shocked the B.C. football world with a 13-12 road win Friday night over Barsby, last year’s provincial AA champs. Quarterback Cole Theobald led the

way for the Pipers with two touchdown passes, including an eight-yarder in the fourth to Paul Brini who made a slick catch to make the score 12-12. Kicker Nathan Avanti nailed the extra point to secure the win.

Nick Pearce also hauled in a touchdown pass while Jackson Washington led the way on the ground, rushing 15 times for 76 yards.

The Pipers now have a 4-0 record in Western AA Conference action and are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in only their third season of Tier 1 play since rebooting their football program.

Argyle will meet Carson Graham in a key conference matchup this Friday at 2 p.m. at William Griffin Field.

lot in his play.”

Backing up Hammond on the leadership front will be Terrence Reitsma, Elijah Needham,Tristan Stanjeck and Armin Hosseini, a pack of second year players who will be getting a chance to hit the floor this season after spending much of last year on the bench.

“I always say to the guys, you always hear about those no-names in the NFL or any of the big leagues — the starting guy goes down and now it’s time for the guy you’ve never heard of to step up,” said Venables. “I think that’s good. A lot of these guys are now having the opportunity for the first time in their college careers to step up and be the guy

to make the plays that will help the team win, instead of being on the sideline watching someone else do it.”

Pushing the young vets is a pack of even younger rookies, including a group of four in setter Matthew Graham, libero Aleksa Protic, and hitters Brendan Cairns and Daniel Soloman who are expected to

“It’s exciting because they’ve all got long-term potential,” said Venables.

“As a coach you always want to work with those guys who can handle next-level coaching, and all four of those guys can. I’m very pleased with their work ethic and how they’re coming along.”

Venables knows, however, that rookie enthusiasm also comes with rookie mistakes, and all four of those rookies are joining the team straight out of high school.

“Here at this level — and as the levels get higher and higher — your mistakes are amplified,” he said. “If you make one you know teams are going to put the ball on you again and you’ll feel the pressure that way.”

With no real pecking order established on the team,Venables said it will be a weekly, even daily, battle between players for playing time, and that’s just the way he likes it.

“One thing I’ve said to the guys right from the start — being a younger coach I get to coach the guys the way I wanted to be coached,” he said. “For me that’s the best guys in practice day in and day out get to start.That’s all I could ask for as a player. I know there are some programs out there that if you’re in your third or fourth or fifth year

The dream of winning every game is already out the window but Venables said he’s intent on building throughout the season so that the Blues are ready to peak when the provincials finally roll around in February.

“With such a young team my first goal, the first thing I wrote down, is I want to show these guys how to train, how to be a high-level volleyball player,” he said. “I want to show these guys that if you want to go to the next level — CIS, national team, pro — there’s a certain way you have to come to work

every day and I think a lot of guys were surprised to see how intense that is day in and day out. And it is a grind. Our season is insanely long. It’s about as long as a professional season.

These guys are also going to school, some of them are away from home for the first time. Just kind of politely shoving them into the world of men and athletics is my goal.”

••• The Capilano women opened their season with a pair of wins over Douglas.

Both Blues teams will be back in action this weekend at the Sportsplex, hosting Vancouver Island University on back-to-back days. Match times will be 6 p.m. women and 8 p.m. men on Friday night and 1 p.m. women, 3 p.m. men on Saturday.
