City upholds ban on gambling Council votes against allowing community gaming centre

CHRIS SLATER reporter@nsnews.com

The odds are out for a proposed North Shore gaming facility after City of North Vancouver council voted against making changes to

the city’s current zoning which prohibits gambling.

First proposed by company Playtime Gaming in 2013, a “community gaming centre” which would feature approximately 300 video

gaming machines and an estimated daily attendance of 1,000, according to a report created by city staff, was quashed by council Monday.

Community gaming facilities differ from conventional casinos as they only allow electronic gambling machines and cannot be open 24 hours.

The report estimated the proposed 40,000-

square-foot facility, which Playtime was looking to see located in the city’s Shipyards district, could generate an estimated $2 million in revenues for the city annually. Many of the North Shore’s local non-profit societies are also funded through provincial grants raised through gaming. However, a majority of council was not supportive of allowing

such a project to come to the area.

“I’m not looking to further this idea,” said Coun. Pam Bookham, expressing both a lack of real interest from the community and the potential negative social impacts such a facility may have for some in the area as reasons for her decision.

“Whatever financial benefits come with the

introduction of a new gaming facility I think will come at a cost to people within the community that we should be especially concerned about,” she said.

Enclosed in the report was input from medical health officer for the North Shore, Dr. Mark Lysyshyn, expressing his concerns on bringing a gambling facility See Medical page 5

Dollarton squatters’ shack saved JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

For decades, the little blue cabin where artists Al Neil and Carole Itter drew their inspiration stood on pilings at the water’s edge, a cultural outpost nestled among the cedar trees.

Al Neil, an experimental artist and freestyle jazz musician, first moved to the cabin near Cates Park almost 50 years ago, and lived there when the Dollarton waterfront was dotted with squatters’ shacks and a counterculture thrived there.

This week, the cabin that represented the last of that era was moved from the waterfront to a storage site.

A group of artists who rallied to save the cabin hope to find a new home for it as a working space for artists.

“Our hope is to get it back into Cates Park,” said Glenn Alteen, a director of See Cabin page 9

Police seize pellet rifle

Nighttime blaze guts Central Lonsdale penthouse

Man was using assault rifle look-alike at Ambleside beach

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

North Vancouver City Fire Department members are working to find out what caused a fire that dealt heavy damage to a Central Lonsdale apartment penthouse early Tuesday morning.

About 32 firefighters were on scene shortly after 4:20 a.m. when the building’s fire alarm went off.

The blaze appears to have started on the penthouse deck, atop the third floor roof, and then spread to the rest of the penthouse unit.

“This looks like another one where the fire alarm contributed to early detection of the fire and early response by the fire department.We were able to put that out quite quickly,” said assistant fire chief David Owens.

One woman was taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

West Vancouver police officers raced to Ambleside Park Monday evening after receiving a call that a man was walking on the Spirit Trail carrying what appeared to be a partially hidden assault rifle.

The gun was later confirmed to be a pellet gun.

But that wasn’t obvious to the person who called police, said Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesman for the West Vancouver Police Department, who added the gun was a fairly realistic replica of an assault rifle and had been carried with a sweater draped over it.

“It was certainly a concern to the person who called us,” he said.

Police found the gun with a group of West

Vancouver residents, including a 44-year-old woman, 49-year-old man and the man’s five-yearold son.

Witnesses said they had been firing pellets at rocks on the beach.

Palmer said police seized the pellet gun.

It’s the second time in a week that West Vancouver police have been called out over pellet guns.

Last week, three teenaged boys were nabbed by police and had their toy guns confiscated after shooting pellet guns at cars near the Hollyburn Country Club. In that instance, at least one of the boys was wearing a mask.

Palmer noted it’s against West Vancouver bylaws to shoot a pellet gun in public.

It’s also not smart to carry a toy gun that could easily be mistaken for a real one, he added. That puts both the person carrying the toy gun and the public at potential risk, he said.

“From 50 or 100 metres back in less-thanperfect lighting, can you tell the difference?”

Ground fishing ban to preserve fragile reefs Conservationists applaud new federal protection measures JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

A group of rare ocean sea creatures that have been building massive underwater reefs in Howe Sound and Georgia Straight since the last ice age will be protected, under measures being put in place by the federal government.

Conservationists are applauding a move by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to create 150metre buffer zones around clusters of rare glass sponge reefs in south coast waters.

Sabine Jessen, national oceans program director at the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, said the move to ban bottom trawling and ground fishing near to nine glass-sponge reefs is welcome news to environmentalists who have been pushing for protection for the past 14 years.

The reefs under

protection include a cluster near Passage Island off West Vancouver as well as near Defence Island in Howe Sound, plus others near to the Sunshine Coast, Nanaimo and Gulf Islands.

But Jessen added there are still other glass-sponge reefs in Howe Sound that need protection — including one near Lions Bay and another off Halkett Point on Gambier Island.

Protection of those reefs is especially important, she said, because there is a lot of potentially damaging activity — like prawn fishing and crabbing — taking place in those areas.

Nobody even knew the glass-sponge reefs existed until 2001, when scientists conducting sea floor mapping for the Geological Survey of Canada noticed images of some strange objects on the sea bottom and sent down cameras to investigate.

The reefs are created by sponges — which take dissolved silica in ocean water and use it to create glass skeletons that resemble coral reefs. In some areas of the north coast, the glass-sponge reefs — which are usually found in deep water — can reach underwater heights equivalent to that of an eight-storey building. Glass sponges in that area are already protected.

The B.C. coast is the only place in the world where living glass-sponge reefs are known to exist, said Jessen.

The reefs are ecologically important because the sponges clean ocean water by feeding on bacteria. They also provide habitat for young rockfish and other animals.

But they are also extremely fragile and easily damaged.

“They have the consistency of meringue.

If something hard touches them, they basically crumble,” said Jessen.

Ground fishing that stirs up sediment can

also damage the sponges, which are filter feeders, by smothering them.

In 2013, Jessen was among a small group of conservationists who went in a submersible from North Vancouver’s Nuytco Research on an underwater

expedition to reefs near Passage Island.

“You’re going down, down, down, and you don’t see anything,” she said. “All of a sudden, they’re there.”

Jessen said she hopes recreational fishermen will take note of the recent

closures and exercise care when crabbing or fishing for prawns near the reefs.

She added her group is mulling developing an app that would show people on a map exactly where the glass-sponge buffer zones are located.

Medical health officer cites gaming concerns From page 1 to the community.

“Electronic gaming machines and table games are both associated with an increased risk of problem gambling compared to other forms of gambling; however, electronic gambling machines may result in greater impacts among problem gamblers,” Lysyshyn’s statement read in part.

Citing concerns similar to Bookham’s, Coun.

Linda Buchanan said the city should take more time to see how similar facilities in other Metro Vancouver municipalities, including Maple Ridge, Surrey and the Township of Langley,

2."N= GVN6< 3"8X<N<N ,(.,.&^6 $<RVNZ < 8P.&^( P..R <$ Z<OVNZ 8^N$(^& VN .$X^( 8.OO"NV$V^&= are working.

“I too haven’t seen a huge amount of people who are really, really wanting this. ... At this point I’m not seeing where

we would put this in our community and I think that at this time we should perhaps take a little bit more time to see how this is working in other communities.”

Although opposed to such a centre going in on the city’s waterfront, Coun.

Holly Back disagreed with the majority of council that was against changing the city’s gaming bylaws, citing discussions she has had with mayors from other communities that were initially opposed to allowing gaming but have now changed their minds.

“I’ve spoken to different mayors in Penticton and Burnaby who have gaming and who were opposed to

it when they first brought it in. They think it’s fantastic and they’ve had no issues with violence or problems or anything,” said Back who also said she’d like to see more research done on the topic.

“I think we’re afraid of something we don’t really know too much about . . .

I do think there might be some other places in North Vancouver that it could go so I’m actually not going to support (upholding the prohibition) because I’d like to see a little bit more research done on it.”

Mayor Darrell Mussatto was also in support of seeing a community gaming centre coming to the city but like Back

District firefighters rescue treed feline JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com

Who says firefighters won’t rescue a cat in a tree anymore?

On Tuesday of last week, some big-hearted North Vancouver firefighters did just that, after getting a call about a vertically challenged kitty stranded up a tree in North

Vancouver’s Princess Park.

Firefighters arrived at the park around 7 p.m., put up a ladder, and climbed up about six metres (20 feet) to successfully rescue the petrified pussycat and bring it down, said assistant chief Jim Bonneville with District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services.

That doesn’t always happen, added Bonneville.

“They’re scared. That’s why they’re up there,” he said. Sometimes the sight of a firefighter climbing up a ladder just sends a freaked-out feline even higher up the tree, he added.

As a first option to bring distraught kitties to ground, Bonneville recommends owners open a can of tuna and place it

on the North Shore.”

Mussatto also underscored the fact that other Metro Vancouver municipalities initially against allowing gaming in their communities are now supportive of it.

“There was a lot of fear before those facilities went in — a lot of ‘Oh, what if this...’ or, ‘This is going to happen.’ I can tell you, they were all opposed, now they’re supportive, very much so.”

In the end, council voted 5 to 2 in favour of leaving the current gambling bylaws unchanged, with Mussatto and Back voting against.

and others on council, was opposed to allowing such a facility to go in at the originally proposed shipyards location.

Mussatto explained that many of the non-profit organizations in North Vancouver receive funding through provincial gaming revenues such as lotteries or similar community gaming facilities.

“Those agencies are funded through, whether it’s lotteries or whether it’s community gaming facilities. . . . So we’re happy to take money on the North Shore but we kind of don’t want to have any official gambling here

at the base of the tree.

Typically cats that have been in a tree for a while are getting peckish, and the smell of food can lure them lower, he said.

Bonneville adds that rescuing cats isn’t really in a firefighters’ job description. “Officially we don’t really take cats out of trees,” he said. “But how do you say ‘No?’ ”

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LTD. PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH ST., NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. PETER KVARNSTROM, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.

Dough-nation A

lberta’s newly minted NDP Premier Rachel Notley has passed her first piece of legislation — a bill that will halt donations from unions and corporations.

As long as it doesn’t leave loopholes big enough to drive a dump truck full of cash or bus full of campaign volunteeers through, we say it’s time for a similar law here.

Some argue that hefty political donations result in kid gloves treatment for donors. We’re not convinced that’s always the case, but the perception is there and that’s enough.

We too would like to be able to stand up and say to well-heeled interests: “Your money’s no good here.”

It never fails. A scandal breaks and a day or two later, someone connects the dots on how much those at the centre of it donated to the ruling party. It’s getting tedious and

MAILBOX

it’s sullying people’s view of politics.

As campaign budgets seem to keep climbing ever higher, almost every election sees more and more would-be voters finding a reason to stay home. We can’t help but feel there’s a relationship.

Prior to losing the last provincial election, the B.C. NDP floated the idea of banning corporate and union donations.

But the fact that Notley’s bill passed with all-party support in Alberta shows it’s an idea any party can get behind, whether they’re left, right or really, really right.

To their credit, the federal Conservatives moved on this issue years ago. We’re not sure why B.C. has to lag behind on meaningful democratic reform at both the provincial and municipal levels.

Regardless of what level of government we’re talking about, there’s too much money in politics. We could all do with a few less attack ads and robocalls.

Too many rentals leaving Lynn Valley Dear Editor: Re: Affordable Housing issue Aired at Public Hearing, June 19 news story Lynn Valley has been my home most of my life — from the decrepit 2931 Mountain Hwy. (first home as a young adult) to several rentals in the area for the last 30 years.

It was nice to see the new buildings at 27th (Street) and Whitely Court.

Sad to see the old building

go but at that point I was not thinking about the larger plan.

We cannot continue to replace affordable housing with new small, pricey condos unaffordable and too small for the previous tenants.This is getting out of hand.

Recently, as well as Whitely Court, 27th and Mountain Highway lost several rental units. Now 27th across from the mall?

As well, 2931 and the two other buildings on Mountain Highway, I fear, are soon to be the next targets. Where are these people going to go? Is there any concern for low to mid-income renters in our community plan? No! That leaves Mountain Court and Emery Village for rental spaces in Lynn Valley. Having just left the latter last July, it was pricey and its rent increased after

we left.

We looked so long last July for a space in Lynn Valley we could afford, almost taking a suite on 27th.We found a beautiful basement suite just before month’ end and we were lucky.

There are not enough basement suites to fill the void and leaving this area was something we looked at (but) didn’t want to.

This development has

to stop.

Those who build these new projects and the district must work together to replace rentals at a reasonable rate, not at current market value.

We now live in the most expensive place on earth and as there is money to be made in teardowns and displacement, something has to give.

‘Dumb’ headline discounts a not-so-bad suggestion

Dear Editor: Re: Dumb & Dumber, June 17 Viewpoint A very disrespectful headline in reference to the idea that Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s idea of forcing gangsters who don’t

co-operate with police to pay their own medical bills.

Mayor Hepner is right!

You make a bad choice, you pay the price.

So they might not seek medical help if they have to pay for it.Who cares if they

CONTACTUS

make that choice?

The same goes for outof-bounds snowboarders if they deliberately do so.

It’s like saying it’s OK to have a serious accident when you choose to make the bad choice of speeding

or driving distractedly or under the influence of drugs/alcohol.

And it should be tobacco companies who pay for lung cancer patients’ medical costs not the weak minded person who was convinced

by tobacco company advertising to make a bad choice to smoke — who knew of the consequences?

Your analogy sounds Dumb & Dumber.

Thanks for finding Pi Dear Editor: I was and am again the “human in charge” of Pi, the blue budgie featured in your break-out budgie story in the (June 17) edition. Pi made a dash for the door as I was opening it and he flew into the Seymour River forest May 31. One year ago I rescued and adopted Pi. Richard (Cochrane, who rescued Pi) speculates that he either has spring fever or decides it’s time for his yearly summer vacation.

Either way, his actions seem to bring out the best in the humans he seeks rescue from and gives me a great adventure in the process. I thank everyone who played a part causing his return.

VIEWPOINT

Municipalities under auditor’s microscope “This office is going to make a difference for B.C. families by making sure local governments are maximizing (value for) taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars…the bottom line is that it’s about accountability to taxpayers. Under my leadership, this office will be independent, accessible, fair and transparent.”

– Basia Ruta, Jan. 17, 2013 When Basia Ruta, a certified professional accountant, assumed her position as British Columbia’s first auditor general for local government on Jan. 15, 2013, she came to the province with impressive credentials.

Not the least credit on her resume was that she had worked with the federal auditor general.

We were told that, despite the fact that her office would report to and be monitored by a five-member provincially appointed audit council, she would be unfettered by political influence.

only picked up breadth and speed, it’s now a fully fledged, unpleasant hurricane which has cost and is costing city taxpayers enormously in wasted staff time, reputation and dollars.

Today, nothing short of a full review of the past three to four years of the city’s operation, and of alleged events during and since last November’s election, can clear the air and provide city residents with anything that resembles the truth, the whole truth and nothing but.

Be that as it may, remembering the circumstances surrounding former B.C. auditor general John Doyle’s departure, I remained cynical about Ms.

Elizabeth James

Just Asking

British Columbians hoped they could now have confidence that the hefty dollars they send to their local governments would be monitored — if not before the dollars were spent, then at least to see whether they’d given value for money.

For my part, having seen the early stages of a gathering storm in the City of North Vancouver, I hoped that municipality’s performance might be one of the first to come under the new auditor’s microscope.

Alas, that was not to be. Instead, the storm as storms are wont to do, not

Ruta’s optimism. Moreover, as her termination unfolded last March, my reservations about the independence of the municipal auditor general seemed confirmed.

In hindsight, many British Columbians and provincial business groups may have expected too much too soon from Ms. Ruta and her new Surreybased office.

Coming to us from Ontario’s municipal regulations and liaising with the audit council, Ruta’s first job would have been to familiarize herself with the Community Charter and pertinent information about almost 200 municipal and regional districts in B.C. — a

Cabin a last reminder of 1970s squatters’ village From page 1 the Grunt Gallery who has been working on the project.

The cabin move was prompted after the McKenzie Barge site immediately adjacent to the cabin was sold to the Polygon development company, which plans to build a condo project on the old industrial site.

In November, Port Metro Vancouver which owns the land the cabin sits on, told Neil and Itter the cabin had to go, so that a habitat restoration of the foreshore could proceed.

That’s when younger artists stepped in to try to save the cabin, pointing to it as the last piece of a particular history along the NorthVancouver shoreline.

During the 1930s and ’40s, the shores of Burrard Inlet were home to about 1,000 people living in squatter communities.The writer Malcolm Lowry was one of those who famously

lived along the Dollarton waterfront.

Most of the cabins were destroyed in the 1950s.

But in the early 1970s, a counterculture community of artists flourished on the Maplewood mudflats and adjacent areas.The blue cabin was the last of those remaining.

Alteen said efforts to save the cabin were given a huge boost when Canexus — which operates nearby a chemical plant — offered to store the cabin on its property.

Polygon paid to move the cabin and to build an access road to the shoreline — previously hidden at the end of a forested trail.

On Monday and Tuesday, Supreme Structural Transport — a company that specializes in moving heavy equipment and houses — set to work, using industrial jacks to raise the cabin up on blocks, then sliding it over steel beams to

a heavy-duty trailer.

The cabin was to be trucked to the Canexus site earlyWednesday morning.

Alteen said the group has been given a year — and possibly more — to assess the cabin for structural problems and find a new home for it.

Krista Lomax, a friend of Itter who has worked with her on film projects at the cabin, was on site this week to film the move.

“It was emotional,” she said, adding she felt “sadness balanced with a relief that it’s going to a new home.”

Itter — who lives in a Vancouver co-op — said she’s glad the cabin wasn’t bulldozed, but chose not to watch the move this week.

“One of the things that I really learned there is that place is so important in our lives,” she said. “To find a place that gives you meaning and gives you roots, it changes everything.That’s one of the gifts the cabin gave to me.”

Propane tanks explode in fire From page 3 Residents also reported hearing explosions as the fire roared.

“I heard a really loud bang. It sounded like a gunshot or something,” neighbour Jeff Matthews said.

The likely culprit: two one-litre propane tanks on the roof.

“They were not the

cause of the fire but the result of them being in the proximity of the fire caused them to heat up and go pop,” Owens said.

The suites on the lower floors also incurred some smoke and water damage.

While the penthouse unit will have to be gutted, it’s too soon to say whether residents from the other 15 units will be allowed to return home anytime

soon. Firefighters did comb through the suites to collect a list of residents’ musthaves, like medication, keys and cellphones.

Owens said the fire underscores why it is important for renters to have insurance.

“Typically less than half of the people do and it’s disappointing to see that they don’t have home insurance,” he said.

Renewing Democracy in Canada After a decade of Stephen Harper, our country looks less and less like the Canada I grew up believing in. It’s tough sometimes to find words to express my level of alarm and concern regarding the current state of our democracy.

But the comprehensive and thoughtful package of democratic reforms put forward by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau last week builds upon my often stated view that Ottawa can be fixed and Canadians’ trust in our democratic processes and government can be restored.

Democracy under assault The thirty-two measures Mr. Trudeau announced last week confront head-on many of Stephen Harper’s most flagrant assaults on democracy in Canada.

For example: • Federal scientists will no longer be muzzled because their research may contradict government policy; • The long-form census will be reinstated - so we will once again have the information we need to make policy decisions that are based on science and data, not partisan ideology; • No longer will omnibus bills be used to bury and smuggle through controversial legislation to prevent Parliamentary scrutiny and open public debate; • There will be more free votes in Parliament so MPs can do a better job reflecting the views of their constituents; • An independent advertising commissioner will be appointed to ensure government ads are nonpartisan and actually necessary to inform Canadians about government business;

• An all-party national security watchdog committee will be created to oversee the operation of Canada’s security agencies and ensure our civil liberties are protected.

And, under a Liberal government, every Canadian’s vote will matter more because we will change the way in which this country conducts elections.

Getting past “first past” In the last election, nearly two-thirds of Canadians voted against Stephen Harper and yet he won a majority government.

It’s because of our “first past the post system”, where the candidate with the most votes is elected in his or her riding regardless of the percentage of votes received If the Liberal Party of Canada is elected in 2015, this will be the last time Canadians are burdened by an electoral system that can create large majorities out of small minorities – a system that often forces people to vote “strategically” against a candidate instead of for their preferred choice.

Mr. Trudeau has committed to change the electoral system within 18 months of forming government - after launching an all-party parliamentary study of proposals such as ranked ballots and proportional representation.

Taken together, Mr. Trudeau’s announcement last week is a bold package of reform that will breathe new life and civility into our democracy at a time when both are desperately needed.

Jonathan Wilkinson is North Vancouver’s Liberal candidate in the upcoming Federal election. He is a Rhodes Scholar, former clean-tech CEO and North Shore soccer coach.

Council considers measures in support of private liquor store owners CHRIS SLATER reporter@nsnews.com

City ponders liquor retail restrictions

STORE HOURS

Mon-Wed & Sat 10-6 Thur & Fri 10-9 www.fabriclandwest.com Sun 11-6 OLD LOCATION

Following changes to provincial liquor laws earlier this year, City of North Vancouver council voted in favour June 15 of carrying a notice of motion that could bring back previous regulations on the distance liquor retail stores must be from one another in the city.

The motion aims to reinstate previous regulations, which were abolished under the province’s recently changed liquor laws, that retailers applying for a liquor licence in the city must be situated a minimum distance of one kilometre apart from other liquor retailers.

With the new laws, which include B.C. Liquor Stores being opened Sundays and holidays as well as supermarkets eligible to apply for liquor licences, the owner of one private liquor store in the city has expressed his concerns on the impacts increased competition is having on business.

However, just how and when to act on the motion brought a difference of opinion among some members of council.

“I do think that these changes at the provincial level are having a significant impact on (private liquor) businesses,” said Coun.

Linda Buchanan on the motion, which will see the preparation of a staff

report to help determine just what council’s next course of action will be on the issue.

“I think anything we can do to look at this and support small businesses and support the health and well-being of our community is a good thing,” she said, after also citing concerns about the potential negative social effects having a higher concentration of retail liquor could have on the community.

Coun. Don Bell, who initially introduced the notice of motion on the issue, said he believes council needs to pay attention to these concerns that have been brought forth to the city.

“I think we need to be sensitive to the issues that they have raised that in their point of view might make their operations economically unviable ... so I think getting a staff report further on this would be appropriate” he said.

Bell said issues on regulations of liquor retail should be treated differently from that of conventional retail businesses.

“I don’t see this as a precedent. I see a distinction between liquor sales and other kinds of retailers. There has been, historically, restrictions placed on the number of (liquor) units ... I make a distinction with liquor operations over other kinds of operations,” he explained.

However, former small business owner Coun. Holly Back, who used to operate a salon in the city said that by allowing protection for these businesses could potentially create other

issues down the road.

“As we all know I’ve been a small business owner in North Vancouver and would have been very happy if the city said to me, ‘Nobody can have another salon within one kilometre of your business.’

“So I feel like we’re opening up, and certainly in our business community, a bit of a can of worms in saying, ‘OK, we’re going to support the liquor businesses,’” she said, explaining that competition is a part of the business environment.

“Competition isn’t a bad thing and we all have it in business. I think that most of these pubs have been very lucky in the last however many years not to have the competition so close, so I’m sorry, I don’t really support it.”

Although in favour of reinstating the onekilometre restriction, Coun. Rod Clark said he believes the city should not be putting more time into waiting for a staff report but should instead be acting on the motion more promptly.

“This is a clear-cut decision: we’re going to stay with one kilometre and tell (the) B.C. government to take it somewhere else or we’re going to have a staff report which will tell us who knows what,” he said.

“I’m of the opinion we should stand up tonight and say we’re in support of these local businesses.”

In the end, council voted in favour of bringing the motion forward for a staff report, with Couns.

Back and Clark voting against.

Coun. Craig Keating, meanwhile, was not present at the meeting.

Interim auditor general working to restore credibility From page 7 deputy minister Chris Trumpy (Report on the Governance and Operations of the Auditor General for Local Government), once appointed, Ruta’s focus was on “initiating and completing audits. “Time was not spent establishing how the responsibilities and accountabilities set out in the Act would work in practice.”

That answers my question: If the auditor planned to report on 18 municipalities in only 10 months or so, why did the audit council whose job it was to “provide comments to the AGLG on the Annual Service Plan” allow her to proceed under the illusion that such was even possible, especially knowing the auditor’s office was understaffed from the outset?

On the basis that she was wrongfully terminated,

No matter the result of the recruitment, our caretaker auditor Arn van Iersel says the audit council hopes to fill the position by September.

The court’s decision will be interesting because it’s my impression that Ruta’s head rolled because of an institutional breakdown

— incomplete terms of reference, lack of clarity in the legislation and too-high expectations before the office was fully staffed and operational.

That said, although understandably unwilling to comment on his predecessor,Van Iersel said he believes a municipal auditor general is essential if we are to have local government accountability.

“So the mantra I keep repeating,” he told me,

“is that we are restoring credibility in the office, one audit at a time.”Then he ended our conversation with a smile saying, “We’ll do that if we under-promise and over-deliver.”

I came away thinking that if that philosophy applied to all levels of government, taxpayers would likely have a different premier and a far less acrimonious relationship with the City of North Vancouver. rimco@shaw.ca

Market garden gets growing

Todd Major

Dig Deep

The grassroots movement pushing for healthier food that has been growing around the world over the past decade is being led by a new kind of optimism and a sustainable set of ideals.

And Sutherland secondary is showing us one way to grow the movement with a local environmental initiative that may be a model for other schools to follow.The Sutherland Schoolyard Market Garden at 1860 Sutherland Ave., North Vancouver, officially opened on June 12 with local politicians, North Vancouver school district staff and representatives of sustainable food groups on hand. A first of its kind on the North Shore, the schoolyard market garden at Sutherland is intended to be an outdoor, green-learning classroom.

The garden’s deeper purpose was eloquently summed up by Emily Jubenvill, manager of the Edible Garden Project at North Shore

Jubenvill was busy with her duties at the garden’s opening but managed some time to talk to me, explaining her perspective as we walked beside a long raised bed of organically grown carrots that swayed and shimmered in the late afternoon breeze.

“Schoolyard market gardens are outdoor, handson learning classrooms where school communities come together to learn about food systems, environmental sustainability, connection to the land and community,” she said.

The market garden at

Sutherland is approximately one-third of an acre in size and it’s perched atop a little knoll in front of the school.

It’s an unassuming little plot of land with big potential to change the way children learn about growing healthy food, free from pesticides, in a sustainable manner that protects and enhances the soil and the earth.

During my K-12 education, learning about food consisted of obscure references in biology, botany or earth sciences and time spent learning how to cook in home economics.The same reality was more or less

true for my children.

The new optimists, however, see the path to change through the minds of children.

“It doesn’t take much to leave a positive impression on a child,” said Dennis Charland of the Plant a Seed & See What Grows Foundation (seewhatgrows. org). His organization works to create a “healthier generation through experiences that connect people to the land while providing opportunities to improve communities.”

Charland was among the many community partners

This could be your

present at the opening, including Vancity, the Great Canadian Landscaping Company and Whole Foods.

Along with the City of North Vancouver, Neptune Terminals, United Rentals, Holiday Inn & Suites, Onni, Telus and the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. that also support the work of the Edible Garden Project.

The Sutherland Schoolyard Market Garden has so many supporters it’s hard to thank them all, but one of the most vocal advocates for the project is Cynthia Bunbury who helped cut the ceremonial ribbon at the opening.

Bunbury is a teacher at Sutherland and a firecracker of a lady with energy, enthusiasm and the courage to do something about a problem. At least that was my impression of her — her students may think differently.

As City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto said jokingly during his speech at the opening, “I know Cynthia well from the weekly emails she started sending me three or four years ago.”

Bunbury started out teaching drama, English and French then changed to teaching social justice and came up with the idea to create a garden at the school to teach students firsthand about growing healthy food. Bunbury and See Schoolyard page 16

The Northshore’s ONLY

Window & Door Specialists. It’s all we do!

604.839.0636 northshorewindows.com

Northshore Windows – Pride in craftsmanship and service The purchase and installation of new windows and doors is not something you do every day. So if you’re wondering where to begin, Darrell Akune and Jon Haagensen of Northshore Windows are ready to answer your questions.

“I enjoy interacting with homeowners and one of the comments we often hear is, ‘I had no idea there was so much to think about in replacing windows’ – people are grateful when we help them through a process that is often underestimated,” said Darrell.

With three decades of experience, Darrell and Jon say they’ve seen “pretty much everything”, so there’s no-one better to assess the scope of a project or to describe what a homeowner should expect.

“We explain how it all happens,” they said.

The process usually begins with an inhome consultation, during which the Northshore Windows team will discuss the project and take measurements for a price quote.

Once the team has a clear idea of the homeowner’s objectives, they can recommend the most appropriate

products and outline the costs involved.

Focusing on some exciting innovations in the window and door industries, Darrell says the “Essence” line is a Milgard branded window with solid wood on the interior for its aesthetic beauty and fibreglass on the exterior to provide durability and weather resistance.

The company has found that most clients with old wood windows want to replace them with the wood/fibreglass hybrid windows in order to eliminate future issues with rot.

“

Milgard windows for beauty, durability and weather resistance.

”

“Bi-fold and multi-slide doors can open up an entire wall to the outdoors – great for summer entertaining,” said Darrell.

Doors are supplied for front entrances, patios, and full wall applications in the case of bi-fold or multi-slide doors and can also be custom-made for non-standard sizes.

As a small, owner-operated company, Northshore Windows has realized that employing their own installers is the best way to control the quality of their work.

“Referrals are the foundation of our business, so our goal is to make sure our clients are happy, and telling their friends about our great service,” Darrell said.

So whether you’d like a small upgrade or want to replace all windows and doors to complete your renovation, the experience and quality of service offered

by Northshore Windows are top-notch.

Neural Prolotherapy – A powerful treatment for pain and inflammation Low-level or severe, chronic pain affects every part of a person’s life. So if you have been living with immobilizing pain that impacts your lifestyle, Neural Prolotherapy could offer the relief you’ve hoped for.

Dr. Farzaneh Osati PhD, ND “Anyone with acute or chronic pain can benefit from Neural Prolotherapy”

Neural Prolotherapy (NPT) – an extension of traditional prolotherapy – is a highly effective injection therapy for pain management first developed in 2002 by Dr. John Lyftdogt (pronounced lift-off), a New Zealand sports-medicine doctor who has treated chronic-pain patients since 1978.

Safe and virtually painless, the treatment uses subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of a buffered, lowdextrose liquid that targets nearby inflamed nerves.

Side effects, if they even occur, are minute areas of bruising around the injection site.

“Get your life back, not your symptoms”™

Two-year follow-up studies have shown success rates between 80-90 per cent.

Anyone with acute or chronic pain can benefit from Neural Prolotherapy: Athletes or workers with repetitive injuries, surgery patients, or those who have been treated with cortisone injections can find relief with as few as 1-3 sessions.

What conditions can be treated? v Sports injuries v Carpal tunnel syndrome v Tennis or golf elbow v Pain in the knee, shoulder, neck or hip v Muscle injuries, sciatica, low-back and

foot pain and more!

Depending on the type and severity of the condition, most patients respond favourably after as few as one to six treatments. The micro-injection

sessions can be one week to one month apart to allow nerves to respond between treatments. After each session, you’ll find you remain pain-free for longer periods until, eventually, your pain doesn’t return.

If Neural Prolotherapy sounds like it could be tailor-made for you, Dr. Farzaneh Osati, ND would like to apply the knowledge she has gained after many years of research and academic training in both traditional and naturopathic medicine to help relieve your pain.

Once the site and cause of your pain has been diagnosed, Dr. Osati will design and explain an individualized treatment plan just for you.

It takes a village to raise a child.That saying is one we are all aware of and I would bet one with which we all agree.

But it also takes a village to keep a child healthy.

When some members of the child’s village, the other kids, are not immunized they create a problem for all kids in their communities.

A North Vancouver mother worries about her son every time he goes to school and she is urging other parents to help.

Her son has a rare auto-immune disorder, has had a heart transplant and is recovering from cancer. As a result of the transplant he needs to take anti-rejection drugs that can leave him susceptible to complications and possibly death if exposed to illnesses such as whooping cough.

Many types of people are at risk of serious complications from vaccine-preventable diseases including the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic health conditions or others undergoing chemotherapy.

It’s easy to say that you are comfortable with the possibility of your child getting the measles or mumps. After all, your child

Kathy Lynn

Parenting Today

is a healthy kid. And let’s face it, we don’t see many cases of these illnesses.

The reason is that our children are vaccinated and therefore protected.

But not all kids can be vaccinated because of their medical problems and they are the most vulnerable to serious outcomes from these easily preventable diseases.

Ask any parent today if they have ever kept their child away from a park or beach because they were worried that she would get polio and they’ll look at you as if you are crazy. But talk to your grandparents and they will remember not just polio scares, but children catching and all too often dying from whooping cough, diphtheria or tetanus.

The introduction of

regular vaccines has made those diseases preventable and is saving the lives of our children. Smallpox has been eradicated globally and polio no longer exists in Canada. We no longer see massive outbreaks of measles, mumps or whooping cough.

Vancouver Coastal Health medical health officer Dr. Meena Dawar says there’s still cause for concern. “As we saw with the recent measles outbreaks in the Fraser Valley, and on the North Shore and Bowen Island, these diseases are highly infectious and can spread quickly among those who aren’t vaccinated,” Dawar stated in a press release.

Vancouver Coastal Health medical health officers advise that all children starting at age four get their booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough before kindergarten starts in September.

Dawar emphasizes that vaccines, including combined doses, are safe and can pose minor, if any, side effects. “It’s much safer to get the vaccine than to get the disease,” See Shots page 22

NORTH VA NCOUVER

Taking a step in the right direction Celebrating their fifth anniversary in West Vancouver at Park Royal, Chic Angels is a children’s shoe store born out of a desire to make sure kids get proper footwear from an early age.

Owner Upane Vadhera left the world of business development and finance to make a difference.

“The birth of our daughter was the inspiration to make the transition from the corporate world to small business owner,” says Upane,“especially when we realized how difficult it was to find good quality shoes and rain gear for little kids.”

Five years ago, an opportunity came up as Kiddie Kobbler which had been serving the North Shore community for over two decades closed its doors. We opened at the same location under the Chic Angels and retained all the staff that had been serving the North Shore community for a long time.

Here, they carry on both Kiddie Kobbler’s reputation for service and add their own understanding of what young children need for comfortable and quality footwear.

“We have expanded to our second Greater Vancouver location last summer and are now open on South Granville at 12th. We are thankful for all the great support from our fantastic community and are really excited to be able serve our Vancouver area customers from this central location.“ “Bones are not fully formed in a child’s foot until age 5. So it is very important to have the right fitting shoe. Shoes that do not fit properly can contribute to poor foot development which can lead to back and muscle problems as the child get older.

“Our staff understand the importance of measuring and fitting the right shoe”.

Sometimes we spend over 30 minutes to find and fit the right shoe to make sure you walk out happy.”

To make sure you get exactly what your child needs, Chic Angels stocks all the heading brands to provide quality footwear for youngsters from newborn up.

“We carry the largest selection of quality kid’s shoes in the Lower Mainland and have a great selection from newborn booties all the way up to youth sizes and over thirty brands ranging from formal school shoes, runners, ballet flats, rain boots, fashion boots and snow boots. Our key brands are Asics, Bloch, Blundstone, Bogs, Clarks, Crocs, Geox, Hatley, Hunter,

Keen, Nike, Robeez, , Stride Rite, The North Face, Toms and Uggs.”

To complement their footwear selections, Chic Angels also offers a great selection of quality outerwear, rain gear and accessories with an emphasis on locally made products. They understand that connecting with local suppliers gives their customers some unique choices.

“We believe that community is an important part of any healthy business.

We encourage and work with several local designers and suppliers to bring highquality locally-made merchandize to our customers. Whether it’s hand crocheted sheep skin and wool slippers from Padraig or the beautiful designs of the hand made clips and headbands made by home-based local moms, each of these small businesses contribute to the local community in their own special way.”

Their local support also extends beyond suppliers.

“We work with several local schools and organizations to support the arts, education, sports, and just plain fun.

Children mean the world to us and we want to help bring the world to them.

If you are doing something special at your kindergarten or school or in your community contact us to see how we can help.”

If you have an active youngster in the family, a trip to Chic Angels can help make sure they get off on the right foot. Visit them at their new Park Royal showroom beside Osaka Supermarket, upstairs at Park Royal South or check them out online at www.chicangels.ca.

she states. “If parents have any concerns, they should always speak with their doctor or a public health nurse.”

During kindergarten registration parents are asked to submit their child’s immunization record to their school. If someone at school contracts a vaccinepreventable infectious disease, children who are unprotected may be asked to stay home until it is safe to return.

All children have a right to be safe and healthy and when a simple procedure such as a well-tested vaccine is readily available they should not only receive it for themselves but also to protect some of the more vulnerable members of our community.

Vaccines can be obtained for free from family doctors or from public health nurses at VCH community health centers. For VCH’s kindergarten immunization

ROMANCING THE STOVE Angela Shellard presents recipes for nectarines page 24

Summer is off to a great start following our remarkably mild winter.

I have already enjoyed some fantastic corn on the cob, blueberries, and strawberries, all of which I usually relish much later in the season. It has been a genuine pleasure to buy and eat tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes. If you’ve ever tried to find a decent one in the middle of February, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Despite their bright red veneer and the strategic, residual presence of vine segments to make them seem fresh and desirable, winter tomatoes are genuinely awful; they’re pasty, granular, flavourless and harmful to the increasingly precarious reputation of their entire species.

Tomatoes are available in the winter, of course, because the market demands them. Indeed, the tomato, a seasonal fruit like any other, has become a staple item on shopping lists.

Now look, I’m a live and let live kind of guy, but I have to say, when I see someone doling out $8 for a paltry handful of insipid fruit in the winter, I can’t help but think they’re contributing to the systematic rejection of seasonal eating, an ages-old but now sadly rare approach to food consumption that embraces the best of what is

available locally when it is in season.

This is why I so appreciate the menu philosophy of Bowen Island Pizza Co., the newest addition to Lonsdale Quay’s dining offerings.

The small pizzeria and deli does not have a permanent menu but rather creates their dishes on the basis of what is freshest in available raw ingredients. It helps that the deli counter of the business is stocked with artisanal cheeses and cured meats, requiring owner and chief pizza chef Melanie McCready to simply reach over and pluck her inspiration from a few feet away. Drawing from the wide selection of local produce in the summertime seems like a no-brainer, but I am genuinely interested to see what BIPCo. (the truncated naming convention used on the restaurant’s website, and one which I will employ here for brevity’s sake) does in the sparser autumn and winter months. In the meantime, however, I was quite content to occupy one of only half a dozen or so seats at BIPCo.’s modest Quay installation and tuck into a summer pizza creation.

BIPCo. sells pizza in quarters, halves or whole pies. I opted for the latter, a 12-inch feast priced at a reasonable $16.When you order a whole pizza, you can opt to sample two recipes at once, each occupying half the pie. I ordered just such a combo, featuring the shop’s signature pear and brie recipe with caramelized onions and roasted garlic on one half, and another of the day’s chalkboard offerings, chorizo, kale and fresh tomato, on the other.

Pizza production at BIPCo. is swift and efficient.

Within five minutes of ordering, my pizza was

The crust of my pie, the true make-or-break component of any pizza, was wonderful, alternately chewy and crispy, thin in a bubbly, Neapolitan sort of way, and delicious in its own right.

The crust is made from organic, unbleached flour sourced from Chilliwackbased Anita’s Organic Mill.

I appreciated the spirit of simplicity that informed the signature pear and brie portion of my pizza.

The classic pairing of pear and cheese found a good expression on this pie, however, for my taste, the roasted garlic was just a touch overpowering.The brie used on the pizza was clearly young, its subtle creaminess struggling to assert itself over the other, headier and more pungently aromatic flavours. Still, for meatless pizza, it was eminently satisfying and a

welcome alternative to the more common Margarita.

The chorizo half of the pie packed a bold wallop of flavour, its spicy, tangy

sausage marrying beautifully with coarse chunks of tomato and delicate leaves See Deli page 24

Nectarines are one of my favourite summer fruits.

Only when they’re in season can you really experience their fragrant honeyed sweetness.

However, while you would normally associate nectarines with dessert recipes, they’re equally at home in savoury preparations like the pizza and salad recipes below.

Nectarines are actually genetic modifications of regular fuzzy peaches rather than a cross between two different fruits as is commonly thought.

Select firm, unblemished and fragrant nectarines, and keep them at room temperature to optimize flavour.

Cucumber, Nectarine and Almond Salad ¼ cup rice vinegar ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 small, fresh red chili pepper, cut in half, seeds removed (wear gloves when handling peppers and don’t even think about touching your eyes!)

6 ripe but firm nectarines, cut in half,

pits removed, then cut into thin wedges 1 long English cucumber, cut in half lengthwise then cut into thin slices ½ cup coarsely chopped toasted almonds (or pecans) 1 ⁄3 cup shredded fresh mint 2 Tbsp olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Place the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat.

Cook, stirring, for five minutes or until sugar has completely dissolved.

Add the chili pepper; stir mixture and then set it aside for 15 minutes or until completely cool.

Combine the nectarines, cucumber, almonds and mint in a large bowl.

Remove chili pepper from vinegar mixture, then whisk in the olive oil until well combined. Taste dressing and season with salt to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the nectarinecucumber mixture and toss gently to combine.

Divide mixture onto six serving plates and grate black pepper over top; serve immediately. Makes six servings. (Note: if you like spicy food, mince the chili pepper and stir it into the vinegar-sugar mixture rather than halving it and removing it later).

Maple Roasted Nectarines 4 firm but ripe nectarines 1 cinnamon stick 3 Tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1½ Tbsp butter, cut into

Drizzle mixture evenly over the sliced nectarines; dot the butter over the top of the fruit. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes until nectarines are tender and caramelized

As yet, BIPCo. is not licensed, but I hope that one day perhaps they will explore this option. It occurred to me a few bites into my meal that a frosty beer from neighbouring business Green Leaf Brewery would be a welcome addition and would certainly fit with McCready’s commitment to

locally sourced goods.

I also indulged in a couple of selections from BIPCo.’s excellent, well considered deli counter, which features a commendable number of local items, clearly identified as such for the customer on small placards. I opted for a whole stick of fennel salami prepared by Steveston’s D-Original Sausage Co., purveyors of old school German cured meats and sausages, a company whose excellent wares have found

The air-cured salami, which I promptly tucked into when I arrived home, was easily one of the best I’ve eaten in years, rich and moist, perfectly seasoned, and packed with round, refined flavour; I highly recommend it.

Along with the sausage I chose a small container of Sicilian Castelvetrano olives.These bright green, fruit-forward olives boast a very mild brine and allow

Erin McLeod saves the day

ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

She didn’t have the busiest day a soccer goalkeeper can have, but when called upon, North Vancouver resident Erin McLeod came through in a huge way Sunday at BC Place in the biggest Canadian soccer game ever played on home soil.

Canada’s 1-0 win over Switzerland in the playoffs of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup will likely remain the biggest game held on home soil for about three more days — just until the national

team plays England in the World Cup quarterfinals Saturday, again at BC Place.The Canadians might not have made it this far, however, without McLeod’s incredible stop on a point blank shot in the waning minutes of Sunday’s match played in front of 53,855 fans.

Josee Bélanger made it 1-0 for Canada early in the second half, blasting a curling shot into the bottom left corner following a sublime setup touch from captain Christine Sinclair. The strongest Swiss response came with 12 minutes left when

star forward Ramona Bachmann — who sent waves of terror though the Canadian supporters every time she touched the ball — shook her defender on the left flank outside the box with a sweet set of step-over dribbles before whipping in a dangerous cross. A Canadian defender whiffed on a clearance, causing the ball to skid all the way across goal on the six-yard line near the right post, right into the path of Switzerland’s Vanessa Bernauer who spun and fired what looked like a sure equalizer. Except it wasn’t, because McLeod hustled

she said after the match. “I was kind of embarrassed that I self-cheered so much during the game but overall I’m really happy with the way the team performed.

I think in the second half especially we played like the Canada I know, and that’s going to show up a lot more in this tournament.”

McLeod obviously wasn’t the only one cheering her great play.

The crowd, filled with hundreds of Maple Leaf flags, erupted after the save, as did the Canadian bench.

into proper position as the pass from Bachmann came in and then, when danger arouse, sprinted three steps to her left before stretching out completely to parry the shot harmlessly over the touch line. In the official stat report it was only her second save of the day, with no more to come, but it was nonetheless crucial.

After the save McLeod directed a mighty fist pump at the ball, and the Canadians went on to claim a famous victory — the first World Cup win for the team over a European opponent.

was named Player of the Match, earning praise from Team Canada head coach John Herdman.

“She’s just wonderful,” said Herdman. “That woman is world class. The best keeper in the world? I don’t know. But she’s got to be right up there. To just be on her game and concentrate — she didn’t have a great amount to do. She took some great crosses — that’s her biggest strength — but then to be sharp and alert. In two games now she’s done it for us, right at the death.

That’s the mark of a great goalkeeper. Right at the death, the concentration is there and she’s out making a world class save. All credit to her — she’s doing her bit for our country.”

McLeod is also developing her own little cheering section here on the North Shore. The native of St. Albert, Alta., moved to North Vancouver last fall and since then she’s been busy making connections in the community, making

appearances at local schools and working with young soccer players across the North Shore, including several sessions with the West Vancouver Soccer Club and with girls from the Squamish Nation.

That community work would likely come as no surprise to Herdman, who spoke about her leadership qualities with great admiration after the win over Switzerland.

“She’s one of our off-field leaders,” he said.

“She’s connecting this group behind the scenes on an emotional level. She’s making those deeper levels of connection where it’s not superficial. The players genuinely, genuinely care about each other and she’s pushing that. She takes a lot of time and pride in a strong Canadian group.”

Whatever happens from now on for the Canadian team, they’ve already lived up to their pre-tournament billing. They came in as the eighth-ranked team in the world and now they’re one of the final eight left standing in the fight for the

“Walking out in front of 50-odd thousand people — I mean, who would’ve thought of that in women’s football,” said Herdman.

“It was one of those surreal days for staff and players.”

McLeod, looking as calm and cool in a press

conference as she did in the line of fire during the game, added that the players have more on their minds than just winning games at this World Cup. “We’ve set even bigger goals: inspiring our country,” she said, although she also made it clear that they’re intent on winning this thing too.

“We want to go all the way,” she said. “I really believe in the women on this team and the staff to take us all the way.”
