Butterfly effect

A stilt-walking butterfly performer flits about the newly renovated North Vancouver Civic Plaza Saturday as the North Shore Celtic Ensemble serenades the plaza’s grand opening celebration. The event, which also featured storytelling at the library, a First Nations blessing and speeches from dignitaries, marked the official re-opening of the public space on Lonsdale Avenue as well as the adjoining City Hall, which had been partially closed for two years while it underwent renovations. See the photo gallery at nsnews.com.

Judge Doug Moss of the North Vancouver provincial court handed the sentence to Houman Rahmani, 26, on Monday in the unusual case.

Rahmani admitted that he offered to pay a West Vancouver police officer to let him go after Rahmani was arrested for breaching his bail curfew.

According to an agreed statement of facts, Rahmani was picked up by police for being out past the allowed time on Nov. 9 last year. When he complained of chest pains, police took Rahmani to Lions Gate Hospital.

In hospital and alone under the watch of Const. Aaron Takeda, Rahmani suggested he’d be willing to pay the officer to release him.

When Takeda dismissed the suggestion, Rahmani became increasingly persistent about See Second page 5

Harbourside moves a step closer

Brent Richter newsroom@nsnews.com

DEVELOPERS are one step closer to building a massive residential and commercial development on Harbourside Drive after the City of North Vancouver council agreed to change the official community plan Monday night.

After nearly four hours of listening to comments from the public and putting questions to the proponents and staff, council voted 5-2 in favour of amending the OCP to allow residential as a permitted

use on the affected site — a key change that opens the door to the controversial project.

The developers, Concert Properties and Knightsbridge Properties, are hoping to build 800 units of strata and rental housing on top of 370,000 square feet of commercial space just south of the Northshore Auto Mall over the next 10 years.

The plan has drawn fire from residents who fear the appearance

of so many homes in the area will create traffic and other problems.

It has also touched off debate over whether the land should be a “vibrant and desirable” neighbourhood, as the developers envision, or a commercial centre for high paying jobs, as the current OCP calls for.

After seeing 19 years of changes to the city, especially near Lower Lonsdale, Mayor Darrell Mussatto said it is time for council to give the waterfront a fresh look.

“I think, in principle, the time has come,” he said “When I was first elected on council, I wasn’t in support of residential south of

Streamkeepers blast Bill C-38

West Van MP says critics’ worries over fish habitat misplaced Brent Richter newsroom@nsnews.com

WITH the recent passage of the federal Conservatives’ omnibus budget bill, North Shore conservationists say they are mourning the loss of some of their most valued federal environmental legislation.

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

The government, however, maintains their worries are MP John Weston misplaced.

Bill C-38, which survived a marathon attempt at derailment by opposition parties earlier this month, contained amendments to dozens of federal laws, many of which centre around the Fisheries Act. Those changes, according to environmental groups, have weakened protection of fish habitat, most importantly by altering the rules around environmental reviews.

Under the new law, reviews are no longer necessary for projects near waterways that don’t contain species involved in commercial, aboriginal or recreational fisheries — or species that support those fish.

“That, in a nutshell, is just really unacceptable to stewardship people,” said John Barker, co-ordinator of West Vancouver Streamkeepers. “I support the idea of streamlining, but I don’t support the idea of weakening habitat protection provisions of the act. That’s very distressing.”

Barker said he couldn’t speculate how West Vancouver streams, specifically, could be threatened by the legislation because he is not aware of any applications for major projects nearby, but he worries habitat in other areas could be badly damaged as a result.

The bill brought even stronger condemnation from the David Suzuki Foundation.

“This is absolutely terrible,” said John Werring, an aquatic habitat specialist for the advocacy group.

Bill C-38 is particularly frustrating for scientists who feel they have been shut out in favour of businesses, he said.

“Big industry wins big time on this, but the other people that use the resources aren’t being consulted, and they’re ignoring their scientists who are saying: ‘Don’t go down this road,’” Werring said.

“Because there is no trigger anymore, there is no process, and it saves (businesses) a lot of time and a lot of money.

“It puts us in the dark. We have no idea what the implications of these projects will be from an environmental standpoint down the road, nor will we ever have any idea what the cumulative impacts might be.”

But Ottawa has insisted the legislation does not erode protection for fish; rather, it simply streamlines the environmental approval process.

Canadians need to look at Fisheries Act changes in the broader context of balancing environmental concerns with a shaky economy, said John Weston, Conservative MP for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country.

JOHN Barker, West Vancouver Streamkeepers co-ordinator, says recent changes to the federal Fisheries Act could jeopardize the safety of Canada’s water bodies.

Clark cites transit, job fears

From page 1

Marine Drive . . . Things have changed, and I’m willing to be open about things.”

The development represented a best-of-bothworlds opportunity according to Coun. Don Bell, who argued that adding condos and apartments won’t take away from commercial space, and will give residents a chance to live and work in one neighbourhood.

Coun. Guy Heywood, who also supported the amendment, vowed to get the best possible bundle of amenities for the city — something that won’t happen unless the city approves the OCP change and gets the developers to the table to negotiate in exchange for rezoning the property, he said.

“This is the beginning of a long road, not the end. I’m not prepared to cut off debate and throw everything out just because I’m not afraid,” said Heywood.

Couns Rod Clark and Pam Bookham, however, voted against the OCP amendment after listing many of the same grievances that came in the public hearing: poor access to the site across

Mayors reject TransLink seats

the narrow and steep Fell Street overpass and the dangerous at-grade rail crossing at Bewicke Avenue; the fact the change is taking place outside of the ongoing OCP review process; a lack of transit and parking in the area; and the fact that homes would be placed so close to the noise and pollution of Seaspan Shipyard and other heavy industrial businesses nearby.

Beyond that, Clark called the public consultation process a “farce” for coming up with poll results that showed inflated support for the proposal.

Particularly troubling for Bookham are the coffee shops and convenience stores that will pop up to serve the new residents when the city planned for that area to have higher-end jobs.

“I do not consider jobs at Subway, jobs as baristas at another Starbucks, or 7-11 jobs as the kinds of jobs we dedicated this part of our city to,” she said, challenging council to hold Concert and Knightsbridge responsible for attracting higherpaying employers to Harbouside. “It’s the quality of the jobs that will determine whether we have a truly viable mixed use.”

Man’s late-night doughnut stunt ends in arrest LIFE was imitating the Simpsons as most North Vancouverites slept last week when police caught a man driving drunk and doing doughnuts on the playing field at Grand Boulevard and East 15th.

A North Vancouver RCMP officer was on patrol around 12:30 a.m. June 21 when he spotted the would-be Homer Simpson in an older model Ford Bronco driving on the field in circles, according to the detachment.

The constable caught the 22-year-old North Vancouver man as he tried to pull onto Grand Boulevard and took him into custody.

In addition to a 90-day roadside suspension and a 30-day impoundment of his vehicle, the man is facing impaired driving charges. He has since apologized to the City of North Vancouver and offered restitution for the damages.

“This is clearly an indicator of how alcohol impacts thought, mood and judgment and the negative consequences that follow,” said RCMP Cpl. Richard De Jong.

The act of showy vandalism did about $3,000 in damage to the field, which fortunately was closed for the off-season, according to the North Vancouver school district.

Metro mayors said they rejected the province’s plan, because it would give local government only marginal say in decisions without fixing the bigger problem of an unelected board.

“Our view is it’s a bit of a Band-Aid solution,” said Walton, who is also chairman of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation.

The olive branch from the province would have meant Walton and Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender, the mayors’ council vice-chair, would have had access to material currently discussed by the appointed TransLink board behind closed doors, but wouldn’t be able to share that with their municipal colleagues.

“It places us in a difficult situation,” said Walton.

Walton said sitting on the TransLink board would not have addressed the larger political issue, in which most decisions about TransLink are made by the provincially-appointed board, yet paid for partly by local property tax levies.

“The only part of the budget we deal with is the expansion parts — the politically risky, very accountable part of it,” said Walton. That’s difficult for the public to understand, he added.

The way decisions are made

by TransLink has been a sore point ever since the province disbanded the previous board made up of Metro Vancouver mayors and councillors, and appointed nine professional directors in their place.

At the time, thenTransportation Minister Kevin Falcon described the political board as “dysfunctional.”

But Walton said it wasn’t. It just disagreed with the province on priorities for rapid transit, he said.

“It was a better model than we have now,” he said.

Walton said that doesn’t mean the mayors are asking for the old system back. The council’s next move will be to hire a consultant to look at how other public transit systems are governed, he said.

Not all mayors agreed with the decision to turn down the seats on the TransLink board, with some arguing it was a step in the right direction.

Walton said he thought See Board page 5

Work starts on overpass project Critics claim change will worsen traffic

Brent Richter newsroom@nsnews.com

AFTER much talk and consternation, work is finally underway to remove one of the aging overpasses that connects the two halves of Park Royal across Marine Drive.

Work crews began tearing up the intersection near the West Vancouver shopping centre Monday morning to do underground service work. In the coming months, the overpass will be removed and replaced with an at-grade crossing for cars and pedestrians.

The start of construction means more temporary delays and detours in the area. The four-way stop in front of Shoppers Drug Mart will be closed to all traffic except buses for two to three

days this week. Drivers and pedestrians will still be able to use the bridge until the entire project is done, which is expected to be in the early fall.

The project was the focus of much debate at West Vancouver council over the past two years, as critics warned that the change would put more vehicles on Marine Drive during the already-choked rush hour.

The work is necessary, however, according to the mall, as it will improve access and help accommodate a planned redevelopment of Park Royal south.

“The intersection is the culmination of two years of planning and discussions with the District of West Vancouver, the community and other key stakeholders,” said Rick Amantea, vice-president of Park Royal.

“This new intersection follows the principles and objectives set out in the District of West Vancouver strategic transportation plan with improvements in accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation, first responders and vehicles.”

Second bribe attempt made in jail From page 1 the bribe offer, according to Crown counsel Kristin Bryson, and told Takeda he could arrange for $10,000 to be brought to the hospital if the officer would allow him to leave.

Ultimately, Rahmani asked Takeda how much money he’d

have to pay the officer to let him go.

In the statement of facts, Rahmani said he didn’t have the cash on hand at the time he made the offer and would have had to get a loan to carry out the bribe but “he would have completed the transaction had Const. Takeda been receptive,” said Bryson.

According to a pre-sentence report, Rahmani made another offer to a corrections officer while he was being held in North Fraser Pre-Trial Centre last summer, asking the officer if there was anything he could do to get more privileges.

When the officer said no, Rahmani told him, “Give me your account number and I’ll

put some money in it.”

The report described Rahmani’s attitude while in custody as feeling that “he should be entitled to whatever he wants whenever he wants it,” said Bryson.

Rahmani’s defence lawyer asked for a suspended sentence, noting Rahmani has been diagnosed with mental illness. Moss ordered Rahmani to serve the first six months of his sentence under a curfew, complete 150 hours of community service work and write a letter of apology to the police officer he tried to bribe.

Board spat still unresolved From page 3 the pitfalls outweighed the advantages.

“It doesn’t get at the fundamental issue,” he said, of unelected people deciding how to spend tax money.

The province and local municipalities have been in a showdown over TransLink for some time. This spring, mayors refused to raise taxes to pay for transit expansion after the province rejected requests for a carbon tax or vehicle levies.

TransLink subsequently put expansion plans on hold.

“I am committed to a government that reflects the need to keep our economic momentum going on the one hand, and to keep our precious environment and fisheries preserved for future generations on the other,” Weston said.

Instead of “gutting” the act as critics like to say, the changes will simply mean a re-focusing of government priorities off of “all ditches and all culverts on every piece of farmland across Canada,” Weston said.

“Anything can be described as habitat now. Instead, it will focus on important habitat like migratory streams in British Columbia and fish-bearing habitat that we really want to focus on.”

Barker, for his part, said Weston had worked closely with his group in the lead-up to the bill’s passage, and that the MP had taken streamkeeper concerns directly to Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield and the Prime Minster, but that in the end, that hadn’t been enough. “(Weston) has been really attentive to the concerns of the stewardship groups and taking our concerns forward sincerely,” Barker said. “(But) the reality is, they voted forward this omnibus bill, and with it comes the sadness that the existing Fisheries Act has lost some key provisions.”

Further consultations about fisheriesregulationsarescheduled for this summer, Weston said, and he plans “systematically and energetically” to keep working with local environmentalists through the process.

Beer itself I

t’s time for the province to review its confounding liquor licensing laws.

Good ideas, some that are crucial to thesurvivalofabusiness,areconsistently shot down based on arbitrary and absurd rules, some of which were written during the prohibition era.

Vancouver’s hallowed Rio Theatre nearly went belly up this year when it was caught in liquor licence limbo. More recently, a Vancouver entrepreneur tried to open an establishment that caters to video game fans, but the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, drunk on its own power, told him to choose between serving food and drinks, or letting people play video games. Makes perfect sense.

Locally, Park Royal is pitching the idea of a VIP, grown-up-oriented movie theatre that would serve wine,

and North Vancouver’s Corner Store is hoping to serve its loyal customers drinks in a licensed environment this summer — the latter may be in luck, but the former is looking at long odds.

Despite grassroots campaigns, media backlash, and even bureaucrats admitting the laws make no sense, the provincial government has shown scant interest in updating its B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Act. One would think this would be an easy, cheap and popular pre-election gift from the floundering B.C. Liberals.

(Those would be the B.C. Liberals who constantly remind us they are the party of free enterprise.)

No one is asking for brass taps to be installed at public water fountains. All we’re asking for is a sober second look at our antiquated legislation.

Cheers to that.

Fellers should be given the axe

Dear Editor: Once again, I find myself writing to the North Shore News. This time in regards to the front page story, West Van Fells Old Growth in Error (June 22) about the mistaken cutting of centuries-old trees near Eagle Lake.

This incident is absolutely disgusting, unacceptable, appalling and ridiculous.

To understand how this happened is beyond me.

Who ordered it — i.e. who should be fired — and who were the dolts who actually did the work?

One would think that when they were told to cut these trees, they would have strongly objected and said simply, “No.”

But of course they did not, as it was no doubt a contract job; these people knew they shouldn’t do it but didn’t want to lose their jobs. In response to this “mistake,” the municipality — or at least a councillor — apologized, as if that will make it all better. It does not.

It has been seven months since this happened and the supposedly expeditious report should have been the highest priority back in November, 2011.

I can only say that West Vancouver — including council, the engineering department and other components — is still behind the times in listening to and acting on what residents have to say.

These kinds of things are not just for them to

decide, and it saddens me that it all boils down to money and time. For a lot of residents in West Van, time is running out; there has to be something left for future generations.

Yes, I am a tree hugger and always will be. I hope all on council will read this. I wonder what their own children think.

I suggest that anyone and everyone write to their MLAs in regards to this tragic incident.

At least we still have some beautiful (and treefilled) parks on the North Shore. I am very thankful for that.

Hardship in store for seniors after Safeway closure Dear Editor: I’m the manager of Kerrisdale Cameras on Marine Drive, just a block from the venerable Safeway store slated for closure July 1. I’ve held this position over two periods, starting in 1968 and totalling nearly 40 years.

Many of our customers are seniors — I’m becoming one myself in a year or three — and over the years, many have become great friends outside of work.

They’re worried about losing their supermarket.

Most don’t drive, many need walkers, and sadly,

many have vision impairment.

Obviously there is nothing which can be done to save the Safeway store, but it reminds me of a similar situation that happened in the Kerrisdale area some years ago. There was a small IGA store at 41st Avenue and Balsam Street that catered to the elderly residents of nearby apartments and condominiums.

A mile west, there was (and still is) another IGA store at 41st Avenue and Dunbar Street.

My late mother lived in one of the apartment buildings near the Balsam Street location and relied on that store for her day-to-day needs. IGA closed

that store to the great dismay of its customers, including my mother.

But the company did a terrific thing for its loyal customers: For many months, it ran an hourly shuttle bus from the closed store to the larger one at Dunbar.

Mother enjoyed this service until she was unable to do even that.

The wonderful seniors, our residents and my customers, truly need something like this. Could See Shuttle page 7

Crabbers can be pinched for rule breaking Dear Editor: A recent edition of Ask a Cop by Sgt. Peter DeVries (Time to Choose a Name for Your Buoy, June 20, North Shore News) was short on info when speaking about rules that apply when fishing for crab along the North Shore.

He didn’t mention that one needs a valid Tidal Water Sport Fishing Licence, that retention of females is illegal, that Dungeness crabs must measure 165 millimetres across the back and red rock crabs 115 mm if they are to be kept, and that there is a possession limit of four on this part of the coast. There is also no crabbing allowed between the inlet’s bridges, and spearing — which DeVries mentioned — is prohibited, as you can’t release them alive if necessary.

The licence is annual, starting April 1.

Government’s fishy gag laws need gutting

“Financial Implications: ISA (outbreaks) generally begin as a low-level mortality but have potential to increase in intensity.

The presence of ISA would profoundly impact a company’s business due to initial slaughter orders of entire populations (of farmed fish) and subsequent biocontainment activity.”

Veterinarian Dr. Mark Sheppard

FOR British Columbia’s salmon, it seems, the active suppression of information is almost as dire a threat as disease.

This has been underscored recently by new revelations about some of the dangers posed to and by the province’s fish farms.

In a confidential briefing note dated Aug. 1, 2007 to then agriculture minister Pat Bell, aquatic animal health veterinarian Dr. Mark Sheppard outlined the potential implications for British Columbia of an outbreak of Infectious Salmon Anaemia in the Chilean aquaculture industry.

As happens from time to time among battery-raised chickens and in cattle feedlots, the stresses inherent to dense populations and the movement of “live fish of various ages back and forth” between fishfarms, had spread the ISA virus

Elizabeth James throughout Chilean waters.

Sheppard reassured Bell at the time that some of the highrisk activities taking place in that country that may have triggered or exacerbated the outbreak — notably “the importation of live fish eggs” — were not allowed here, suggesting we might be in a better position to resist contagion.

But information since brought to light by the industry’s critics would appear to put the lie to that.

In a June 21 letter to Kwakiutl Chief Rupert Wilson and Sliammon Chief Rod Allan, biologist Alexandra Morton disclosed that, in 2007 — the year of Sheppard’s report — West Coast Fish Culture “received 1,000,000 eggs and raised them for one of the Atlantic salmon farming companies in BC.” Was Sheppard — and by

extension our government — simply unaware of this transaction? If so, why?

To understand the severity of the threat posed by epidemic disease to stressed, densely populated species, we need only remember the blow dealt to local flocks of pine siskins earlier this year. When the siskin population exploded, the birds became stressed; over-crowded bird-feeders were contaminated and Salmonella bacteria decimated the flocks.

But there is an important difference between that situation and the danger posed by fish-farms in the coastal waters of British Columbia. When bird-lovers realized what was happening to the siskins, they rallied to do everything possible to curb the infection. Feeding stations were cleaned more often with a bleach solution and many were taken down to encourage the flocks to disperse.

We cannot be as successful at containing the ISA virus.

Once over-crowded Atlantic farm-salmon stocks become diseased and debris from opennet cages contaminates coastal waters and rivers, the genie is out of the bottle.

Quarantines and the killing of hundreds of thousands of affected fish may appear to help in the short-term, but the virus will have already been shed into the migratory waters of wild salmon, steelhead and rainbow

trout stocks.

It appears that at least one dangerous disease is already here. As Morton revealed in her letter to the First Nations chiefs, farmed steelhead she purchased from a Victoria market tested positive for Salmon Alphavirus, which can cause pancreatic disease in the fish.

I don’t pretend to understand all of the science involved, nor do I know if it is possible for water and fish-borne viruses to mutate over time to become a more direct threat to human health; however, one thing I do know is that, having seen Morton’s photographs of carefully-documented infected fish, I don’t want to see anything like that on my dinnertime plate.

All of this makes the government’s attitude toward information relating to outbreaks all the more distressing. It’s an attitude driven by money.

Despite knowing ISA had spread from its origins in Norway to Scotland, Ireland, Eastern Canada and Maine, it was the financial implications for the B.C. aquaculture industry, rather than the health of wild salmon, that was prominent in Sheppard’s confidential memo.

And, deny it though he may, those same concerns were likely at play when, on behalf of the provincial government, B.C. Minister of Agriculture, Don McRae tabled Bill 37 to amend

Shuttle bus could help marooned shoppers From page 6 H.Y. Louie consider operating a shuttle bus from their parking lot at 16th Street and Marine Drive to their IGA

the Animal Health Act. Why else would the minister say in his June 17 letter to the editor of the North Shore News, “the best way to ensure that disease outbreaks are reported early is to assure farmers that their information will be treated in a strictly confidential fashion”?

Apparently, the need for farmers to obey the law is not enough; there has to be a financial incentive as well.

WEST Vancouver police are warning drivers to take valuables with them when they park after investigators noted a spike in the number of thefts from cars in the community.

Over a six-week period starting May 1, residents reported 17 incidents to police, most of them clustered in the British Properties and Sentinel Hill neighbourhoods. The culprits have been entering cars primarily through unlocked doors and making off with image submitted whatever valuables are in sight, according to the force.

WEST Vancouver Police Crime analysts have reported a spike in thefts from cars “It is clear that we have in the British Properties and Sentinel Hill neighbourhoods. owners should ensure alarms are armed whenever cars are parked someone, or a group of people, targeting this area,” said Cst.

Neighbours boost store’s bid for licence Owner says drink sales could save struggling hub Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

A Pemberton Heights convenience store has gathered hundreds of signatures from residents in a bid to win permission to serve drinks — a change it says could save the business.

The Corner Store at Lloyd Avenue and West 22nd Street presented its application for a food primary liquor licence at a District of North Vancouver council meeting June 18.

As part of the request, the store submitted a petition signed by approximately 550 patrons backing the plan. The licence is necessary, according to supporters, in order to allow the business to stay open.

“Being located in Pemberton Heights we have a very limited market,” said owner Tracey Cochrane, who bought the store in 2006.

“We continually struggle to make ends meet.”

A view to the world outside Dig Deep

Todd Major

Building by Design

Kevin Vallely

WHAT is a window?

For most homes a window is simply cut-out in an exterior wall that allows some measure of light to enter the house while providing a view to the outside.

All too often the location of said window is dictated solely by the layout of the home (i.e. centered neatly in the middle of a bedroom wall) with little or no consideration to what it actually opens up to outside and the inevitable visual relationship that has been created.

Rather than thinking of windows as simply openings in a wall letting light in, think of them also as cut-outs to the world outside. Creating a strong visual connection between the interior and exterior spaces of a home, between the security and comfort of shelter and the wild and untamed natural world, is an essential part of a livable home. We desire to be close with nature, it’s a fundamental human need, and any efforts made to improve this link through the design of our homes will only enhance the quality of the spaces within.

When placing a window, try to break away from the preconceived notion that it must be placed symmetrically in the wall, 3’0” at the sill and 6’8” at the head. A window NEWS photo Paul McGrath needs to look balanced on the façade, it needs to let in light A well-placed window creates a visual connection between indoors and out. but it also needs to connect with something visually. This might be a view to the mountains or to the ocean beyond or simply window near the floor in such a scenario just to capture the view of a small rock garden at the side of a house. Alternatively, a high to a beautiful tree in your yard but a conscious effort to frame window might direct one’s view to a canopy of trees while shielding something from the outside that can be experienced from the the view of the neighbouring fence altogether. inside is the right way to think.

When designing the Cliffhanger House (cliffhangerhouse.com) Placing a window is not always obvious and sometimes options I was faced with the challenge of trying to create a panoramic view are limited. There’s no point in creating a large window to look into a neighbour’s fence but if a window is desired in such a location other strategies might be employed. I’ve placed a small See Windows page 21

Take holistic approach to pest control PEST and disease control continues to be one of the most challenging problems for gardeners to solve.

I understand that everyone is having trouble changing their control methods from last century’s outdated practice of spraying everything with poisonous pesticides to more modern methods of analyzing the plant’s growing conditions and taking a “holistic” approach to pest and disease control.

Holistic P&D control is not difficult. You don’t have to be a scientist or horticulturist. You do need to look at the plant, its growing conditions and any underlying or contributing factors that are causing the P&D problem.

Contrary to the environmentally damaging chemical approach that dictates “see it, spray it and walk away,” holistic P&D control looks at factors such as plant selection, soil fertility, excessive fertilizer application, incorrect pruning practices and other issues that relate to plant growth within the garden’s entire ecosystem.

Some plants cannot be saved and every good gardener must learn to replace chronically P&D prone plants, with the understanding that it’s cheaper and more effective to remove and replant versus continually battling P&D problems over many years.

I realize that many people cannot part with certain plants See Healthy page 19

Barb Lunter IS there a piece of furniture in your home that is looking a little worn and could do with a little attention?

Perhaps it’s a piece that has been handed down through generations and requires a little update?

Many people are faced with this decision whether to buy new or fix up the old.

It really comes down to a couple of factors.

Firstly, you must ask yourself how much you love the piece and is it worth the expense? If it is a sentimental issue and the piece has history then it probably is worth the expense especially if it is in good quality shape.

Secondly, some pieces are just not worth fixing. If the frame is falling apart or the cushions require completely new filler you may be better off purchasing an entirely new piece.

In some cases it is less expensive to re-upholster than to purchase a similar piece of brand new furniture.

In both case scenarios it’s important to speak to someone who specializes in the field. Shannon Mackenrot, of Kiwi Slipcovers and Upholstery, has a passion for breathing new life into things. After studying fashion design at Kwantlen College in 2000, she decided to take over a small upholstery

business from a couple that persuaded her to venture out of fashion and into the furniture business. It was a real change of pace for her but she enjoyed the challenge of sewing for the home after sewing for the fashion industry for a period of time.

Experts like Shannon are wonderful to speak to when you are faced with the dilemma of whether to re-upholster or buy new.

A visual inspection of your furniture is important to be sure the frame is in good shape as well as the cushions.

With the abundance of fabrics on the market to choose from, an old piece can become spectacular with the right fabric. The difference between a well-worn seat and a chair that can look brand new is amazing.

Recently, Mackenrot transformed a small French settee from its outdated colour scheme to a more soothing and serene French palette.

The results are beautiful

about breathing new life into a sentimental piece of furniture that you can have for many more years to come. barb@lunter.ca

RATING

If you’re like many home owners, your roof receives a pounding each year as the North Shore’s relentless rain takes its toll. Thankfully, technological improvements in materials have made new roofs more durable and there are companies that understand the North Shore’s unique climate to help you get the most out of them.

Companies like Samra Bros. Roofing.

A family run company, Samra Bros. has been in business since 1972. In that time, they have earned a reputation for top quality workmanship and very competitive prices. They have assembled a skilled team of craftsmen to install their specialty: cedar roofing.

“

Samra Bros. also has access to all the new materials that improve the look, price and add years to the durability of your roof.

“Our fiberglass shingles are laminated to provide a remarkable dimensional thickness, not only for strength, durability, and weather resistance, but also to create an extraordinarily beautiful look for your home. Some fiberglass shingles are manufactured in a larger size with more exposure to create a high definition ‘shake’ look for your roof.

Its double layer construction, using an extra-heavy fiberglass mat and tough modified sealant, provides superior durability and wind resistance. All fiberglass shingles are surprisingly affordable and are the perfect choice to protect and beautify your home.”

If you’re looking at re-roofing, the summer is the best time. More reliable sunny weather means a better seal.

“Our specialty is cedar shake roofing,” says Mr. Samra. “The natural resilience of cedar shakes and shingles protects against whatever nature throws at it.

We’re known for our quality workmanship. Our cedar installers have been with us for over 40 years and they understand how to get the job done properly.”

Having been in business in the Lower Mainland for forty years, their reputation has earned them a lot of praise and customers.

“We have had many repeat customers and lots of referrals over the years. People like the peace of mind they get from knowing that they got a excellent quality job done at reasonable price. Most of the experts on our team have been with us since we started our business.”

”

If you’re looking at re-roofing, the summer is the best time. More reliable sunny weather means a better seal.

“Summer is the best time to do your roof. It is best to do your roof in hot weather because everything seals and dries properly.”

If you have an older home and are thinking about your roof, now is the time to act. Because it’s a big job, you owe it to yourself to call Samra Bros. at 604-946-4333 or check them out online at samrabrosroofing.ca.

“Our customers tell us that they are really happy with how our crews perform on the job site,” says Mr. Samra.

“The high quality of the work we do makes sure that they get the best value for their money.”

In their 3,000 square foot showroom and design centre you’ll find the very latest fixtures and accessories in styles that compliment the look you’re trying to achieve.

The experts at Bathrooms Plus search global suppliers to find products that meet very high standards of sustainability.

“With our rich history and a fashion forward approach we have focused on style and innovation,” says Mary, “The look we’re seeing now is bold geometric shapestoday’s new sinks and faucets feature sharp lines- square.

You can also save water with an efficient Thermostatic Control Valve in your shower or pressure balance valves that meet the performance standards for Green Low-flow shower heads.”

Their product selection, knowledge and expertise, combined with their understanding of European and North American aesthetics are just some of the reasons Bathrooms Plus has earned the respect and business of people from across the Lower Mainland.

Healthy soil required for healthy plant growth

From page 13

for nostalgic or other reasons. However, continuing to battle chronic P&D problems on any given plant while not being able to enjoy the very plant you love seems ironically futile, expensive and stressful. And so, problem plants must die for other plants to live. Or, continue to spend time, energy and money for little benefit.

Soil fertility issues can also have a large impact on plant health and therefore the prevalence of P&D problems.

It is important to understand that ornamental plants do not require fertilizer to live a healthy and productive life. I have never chemically fertilized my garden and it is lush and healthy. And while I was at Park & Tilford Gardens, we never fertilized garden beds and the garden was a thriving oasis for more than a decade.

If you are fertilizing the garden or lawn on a regular basis you are negatively impacting plant growth by forcing unnaturally soft, lush growth on your plants, which allows the P&D banquet table to be set for every hungry insect or opportunistic disease.

To grow healthy plants you need to build healthy soil. If your soil is poor, then amend the planting beds once with manure or compost and that will be enough. Then apply the single most important P&D control product to the garden — mulch.

Mulched soil is protected, virtually weed free and mulch provides a life-matrix that allows naturally occurring beneficial microbes and insects to moderate and control P&D problems while improving soil fertility and therefore plant health.

Those are just a few of the underlying growing issues that affect plant health and therefore affect the possibility of P&D

problems. To help focus our understanding on specific P&D issues let’s look at powdery mildew on roses, grapes, onions, phlox, rhodos or some tree species.

Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that attacks the host’s leaves and usually appears as a white downy or powdery substance on the leaves. It is known that powdery mildew thrives in locations with high humidity, poor air drainage and where a dry soil or dry root condition is prevalent. It is also known that many plant selections are prone to powdery mildew infestation.

Dinosaurs will tell you to spray the leaves with fungicide and you’ll have no problem, for about seven to 10 days. But then you must continue spraying for the entire growing season and for the rest of the plant’s life and your life.

My first question for powdery mildew infestation would be: Is this specific species or variety prone to this disease? If the answer is yes, then the control method is to remove the plant and replant a species that is resistant or not prone to powdery mildew.

If the plant is not known to be prone to powdery mildew,

then the problem is a localized growing issue of poor air circulation, poor soil, over-fertilization, dry soil or all of those issues. In the localized attack scenario improve airflow by pruning surrounding plants if possible. Or relocate the plant to a location with better airflow. Stop fertilizing if that is occurring. Mulch the soil if not already done. And wash the powdery mildew off the leaves while watering the plant’s root zone to solve the dry root condition. Multiple controls applied simultaneously work better than just one control method. And none of those controls are expensive or environmentally damaging.

Remember that pest and disease attack is merely a symptom, not the problem. To cure the problem you have to diagnose all of the plant’s growing conditions and fix the out-of-balance growing issue in order to remedy the symptom.

Book showcases beauty of nature ■ Nature Vancouver, published by Vancouver Natural History Society, 154 pages

Terry Peters tpeters@nsnews.com

THE Vancouver Natural History Society was formed in 1918, and over the years has stayed true to its mandate to “foster public interest and education in the appreciation and study of nature.”

Over the years the members have worked with local governments to help establish conservation areas around the Lower Mainland, including the Maplewood Flats, which became the home of the Wild Bird Trust of B.C. in 1993.

This book brings up to date the earlier publication that concluded with 1993 and presents what the society has been working on since then.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the society should go to the website www.naturevancouver. ca, where you can also order a free copy of the book.

HOME

Windows are visual connectors From page 13 on a property hemmed in tightly by neighbouring homes. By creating long horizontal windows placed high enough to shield the neighbouring structures but still low enough to capture views to water and mountains beyond I was able to create a feeling of remoteness in a place that was anything but.

When designing a new home the laying out of the plan and the landscape should be done in tandem to best enhance the relationship between the two. It’s important to think about both simultaneously as each is influenced by the other.

With a pre-existing home one should weigh the difficulty of landscape manipulation to household reconstruction. The mountain can’t move but maybe that Japanese maple can.

Windows are light providers and visual connectors, they let light in while directing views out. Understanding their role will go a long way to ensuring their proper placement.

PARENTING

Preschool adapts to working parents Jeremy Shepherd jshepherd@nsnews.com

AFTER 58 years of mandatory parental participation, Upper Lonsdale preschool is changing its approach to early education next September in the hopes of boosting sagging enrolment.

Each parent with a child enrolled at the preschool had been required to spend two or three sessions volunteering at the school each month, but with changing neighbourhood demographics and an increasing number of working parents, school officials decided it was time for a change.

“It’s been very beneficial for many years, but what we have been struggling with . . . is that parents simply don’t have as much time to volunteer,” says Jitka Holt, a communications manager with the preschool.

The modifications to the program, effective next September, allow parents to assist the teacher and prepare activities based on their availability and interest.

“Generally speaking, it’s a big relief for working parents,” Holt says.

The mandatory participation program frequently ensured one adult for every five students, but despite the benefits, the school needs to adapt to the more hectic schedule of neighbourhood parents, according to Holt.

“We’ve had enrolment issues for the past two or three years,” she said. “In January there is a preschool fair that’s organized, and usually by January we have a lot of inquiries about the following school year starting in September. And that really hasn’t been happening.”

The trend of busier parents with less time to volunteer is becoming prevalent throughout the province, according to Holt.

“It’s just becoming increasingly difficult, so a lot of participation preschools have been struggling.”

The school, located on Lonsdale Avenue near Osborne Road, has been utilizing the same parental participation model since 1954, but making the change next school year has thus far received nothing but support, according to Holt.

“We looked at our budget as well, and we thought, we asked around, we surveyed the parents, and realized the participation as a mandatory component is a barrier for many.”

After going over Upper Lonsdale’s budget, Holt said the school officials made the decision to add another teacher, maintaining a low child-to-adult ratio.

“We have hired another teacher, an assistant teacher, so that we meet the licensing requirements,” Holt says.

Parents will be permitted to bring babies and toddlers with them when they help out at the preschool, and close relatives are also invited, according to Holt.

“They don’t need to stay for the duration of the class,” Holt says. “We are really hoping that rather than pushing for the volunteering we are going to pull people in by continuing the quality programming.”

Visiting the classroom is advantageous for the students, teachers, and parents, according to Holt.

“By being in the classroom, parents learn how the children interact outside of their house, they learn a lot about the other children and they learn about parenting techniques from the teacher.”

The school may also have had difficulties drawing new students because of its emphasis on play, according to Holt.

“We have a play-based program, which is also a bit of a rarity because a lot of the preschools these days push for academic programming,” Holt says. “If children get to know the world through play and get a good emotional and social grounding, they do much better.”

PARENTING

Banish back-talk and bad behaviour Kids learn by watching others

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD Brianna lets you know that she’d like to go to her friend’s house after school.

Parenting Today

You tell her it’s fine and that you need her home by 5:30 p.m. Her response is not a polite OK or an explanation about why that won’t work.

She rolls her eyes and sighs, “You have got to be kidding.”

Excuse me. You realize that over the past couple of weeks she has been flippant, smartalecky or just plain rude and you know that you had better address it right away.

Back-talk and sassy language are bad enough when directed at parents but the problems accelerate when your child is rude to a teacher or coach.

Your child could find herself isolated from others or in trouble at school because of her behaviour.

So what causes this sort of language? Often they are copying someone else.

The first place to look is in

the mirror. How do you speak to your kids? Are you rude or sarcastic? How do you speak to your spouse, friends or other family members? Kids learn more by watching others than any other way and we are the ones they watch most often.

Sometimes kids are simply trying to get attention. They may have mouthed off once and it worked. You were totally focused on them and their language. It’s important that kids get our attention but it’s up to us which of their behaviours we will notice.

The solution is twopronged. First, let her know that you are not going to listen when she is rude. Then ignore her when she is sassy and quickly respond when she speaks respectfully.

Kathy Lynn

On the other hand take a look at whether you have been spending any time with her.

Maybe you could pick her up from school at noon one day and take her to her favourite restaurant for lunch.

Older kids think it’s cool to be lippy. They hear other kids who they see as the popular kids mouthing off so they decide to try it. It sounds so cool and so grownup. Again you announce that you refuse to respond until she speaks in a polite and respectful manner.

Consider that she is now ready for some increased independence. Tell her that she is older so she can have some extra privileges. It’s easy to forget that our kids are growing up and need to be treated appropriately.

Pay attention to what your kids are watching on TV, videos, YouTube and movies.

As much as possible, monitor what they are watching. This is fairly simple when they are little but as they get older, access to TV and video is everywhere and you simply can’t stay on top of it. But, if you can watch with them from time to time and ask them what they think of the language, you will make your point. Now, they will dismiss your concerns, “Oh Mom, it’s just a video, relax” but they

Some non-verbal language is also sassy. Kids who roll their eyes or sigh whenever we ask something of them are being rude. First, make sure that you don’t behave that way and then ask your children to behave correctly. “When you roll your eyes every time I speak it is disrespectful and I

will also hear your input.

It’s really all a question of respect. When we treat our children with respect and set the expectation that they will not only respect us but also their siblings and friends, we are setting a standard for behaviour State your expectation clearly. “Our family speaks respectfully to everyone.” And you can add, “When you are

need it to stop.”

Back talk often starts when kids are about four years old and accelerates until you nip it in the bud. Be calm and clear and this behaviour will end.

A30 - North Shore News - Wednesday, June 27, 2012

Students return from UN summit STUDENTS from a North Vancouver Montessori school got a chance to walk the halls of power at the United Nations headquarters in New York in May.

The Grade 6 and 7 students were participating in a special UN summit, attended by more than 1,600 other Montessori students, teachers and parents from around the world. The group of seven North Star Montessori students was one of two delegations from B.C. at the meeting.

For four days, students assumed the roles of UN delegates, meeting and drafting resolutions on real world issues. The students tackled topics as diverse and sophisticated as protecting child soldiers and nuclear disarmament, to regulating genetically modified organisms in our food supply.

Once the students drafted, debated and passed their resolutions, they were presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for consideration. In the months leading up to the summit, the students were tasked with representing a randomly assigned country, researching that country’s history, culture and political situation, and then preparing position papers and speeches on their topics.

They spent seven months conducting research, learning about resolutions and practising their public speaking before travelling to New York to present their work in front of a mock UN General Assembly made up of peers, honourable guests and a member of the UN. “The speech and paper got us ready, but the most important part about the MMUN (Montessori Model United Nations) was the debate, and talking with one another so

that we could come up with resolutions,” said Hannah Kindler, one of the North Vancouver students. While some resolutions did not pass, students still saw the value in the program.

“It was amazing to meet all of the kids from other countries and to discuss the draft resolutions with them,” said Willem Young. Two of North Star’s students, Maya Matthews and Liam Coyle, were part of a group who, for the first time in the history of the MMUN, had their committee’s resolution passed unanimously. The President of the Dais praised the students for “being the most collaborative and cooperative group” she has worked with.

North Star Montessori plans to attend future MMUN events with the goal of attending annually by 2014.

PSST. Want to know where the best view in the city is?

I’ve got the goods.

I’m not talking about a perspective that can only be had from a private residence, or say, from a boat. Entries in this scene star showdown must come with a table and access to a drink, a snack or a meal.

Sure, the point is debatable. There are dazzling panoramas from points at high altitude, like at The Observatory on Grouse Mountain, or at Fraiche in the British Properties. Scenic vistas abound along Marine Drive in West Vancouver, in Deep Cove, and under the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge.

But for the flat-out, up-close, sea-level look at the sparkle of Vancouver’s city lights, the new Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar has got it nailed. Built on the boardwalk of the historic Victory Shipyards in Lower Lonsdale, the restaurant has 180-degree views of the working port, the cruise ship traffic, and Stanley Park.

After a few delays, the new eatery finally opened May 22, and I waited impatiently for a few weeks to pass (to allow opening kinks to shake out) before stopping in for a visit. It wasn’t easy. I’ve long been a fan of executive chef Dino Renaerts’ elegant, thoughtful food. The born-and-bred Vancouverite has been working burners in this town for more than two decades, which have included stints in the kitchens of Bishops, Le Gavroche, Canadian Pacific Hotels and Resorts, West, Hotel Georgia, Diva at the Met, and most recently, at Fraiche. Pairing his food with this location leads to obviously high expectations.

I wasn’t the only one who had them.

When I called to make a reservation for a Wednesday evening, tables were only available at 5 p.m. or 8 p.m. — surprising for a weeknight in sleepy North Van. And when I rolled in for that 8 p.m. reservation with my regular dinner date, Big J, the place was still buzzing, with every table full.

I like the interior, though it may not appeal to all. There are a lot of medium

WEST Coast seafood nachos and a frosty beer, along with the view from the patio, hit that summer sweet spot at Lower Lonsdale’s new Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar. brown hues: tables, chairs, booths, wood panels and wallpaper; but it’s warm, and provides a neutral background for that over-the-top view. Tables in the dining room are laid out over two levels, which means everyone gets to look out the windows, and those sitting in booths against the north wall even have a strip of mirror that reflects the city lights for extra flash. I’m not as convinced about the underwater scene inset between the ceiling panels, and I suspect the room is on the small side, but overall, I like this space and the somehow cosy, but wide-open feeling it evokes. The patio, obviously, has the tables to get this summer — if summer ever shows up, that is.

We checked out the menu. There’s a lot here; it’s seafood-focused, and though

it isn’t Ocean Wise, there’s an obvious effort to make sustainable and seasonal choices.

Starters ($9 - $20) run the gamut from picks from the Raw Bar to West Coast seafood nachos — topped with spice-rubbed tuna and shrimp — to more elegant appetizers like beef carpaccio.

There is a Pier 7 chowder, plus a handful of fresh salads that can be weighted with prawns, salmon, chicken or steak.

Like your shellfish steamed? Pick your bivalve: you can order Salt Spring Island honey mussels or Manila clams by the pound, steamed in your pick of broth.

Mains ($20 - $34) include half a dozen seafood picks — think grilled See Terrific page 39

A picnic for Canada Day kernels off the cob into a large bowl (stand the corn upright in the middle of the bowl and run a sharp knife down all sides close to the cob). Add the onion, tomatoes and bocconcini and toss to mix. In a small jar combine the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper; place lid on jar and shake vigorously to combine (the dressing will taste quite salty and vinegary, but when added to the salad it’s just right). If taking this to a picnic, place salad into a large plastic container and take the jar of dressing and basil leaves along separately. When ready to serve shake the dressing again, add to the salad and toss; tear the basil leaves into small pieces, add to salad and toss gently. Makes six servings.

SALSA

with Doris Angela Maria of LatinDanceForYou.com

Romancing the Stove Angela Shellard

IF the weather gods smile on us this weekend, pack up your cooler and head to the beach for a good old-fashioned picnic.

I have lots of happy childhood memories of my dad loading the car with blankets, folding chairs, sandcastle equipment and a basket of sandwiches and drinks in preparation for a day at Birch Bay or Crescent Beach. Unloading our feast as the sea breeze blew was a challenge, but a little sand in the potato salad never dampened our enthusiasm. Here are some ideas for filling your own holiday picnic basket — just be sure to include lots of cold packs to keep the food well chilled.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

LOAD up your basket and head for the beach this Canada Day. remove some of the soft bread inside – leave about a half-inch shell. Spread cream cheese generously on both halves of the bread, then spread the top with tapenade and the bottom with pesto.

Layer the cheese, salami, chicken, sundried tomatoes, pickles, bell pepper and onion on the bottom of the loaf. Cover with the top of the loaf and press down lightly.

With a sharp bread knife slice the loaf into serving portions without cutting all the way through — leave sections slightly connected to make wrapping easier. Wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and then in foil. Keep cool.

Makes six to eight servings.

DINO Renaerts is executive chef and director of operations at Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar.

Terrific wine list is no surprise From page 37

spring salmon or pan-seared North Coast halibut. Landbased picks include a lamb sirloin, chicken breast, steak or gnocchi. Though most dishes seem to be plated with accompaniments, there are also tempting side dishes available to order: seafood mac n’ cheese, buttered green beans and pommes frites among them.

This menu isn’t groundbreaking, but frankly, there’s not much call for fussy cuisine on this side of the inlet, and this menu has something for everyone.

Our seafood tower for two ($33) consisted of oysters (with mignonette), prawns (with cocktail sauce), tuna tataki and chilled mussels, artfully arranged on a two-tier serving tray. Super fresh and

served simply, what you order is exactly what you get with this one.

My maple miso-glazed sable fish seemed slightly overcrisped on top, but the fish was as velvety as I like it, and the delicate dashi broth, loaded with shiimeji mushrooms offered sublime depth of flavour. The only quibble in this dish: bland new potatoes added very little, and seemed like filler. I left them in the bowl.

Big J’s rib eye — a hefty 10-ounce wedge smothered in red wine jus and sided by roasted broccolini and crisp fries — was elegant and saucy, every bite full of juicy flavour.

The wine list is terrific; not surprising when you consider that Renaerts was the first chef in Canada to be a certified sommelier. There is a considerable list of curated

wines by the class, and the rest of the list, with bottles from around the world, is divvied up by style, and even by best pairings (like “Oyster Friendly”).

With my sable fish I opted for a glass of supple, cherried 2008 Inniskillin Pinot Noir, while Big J loved his 2007 Sabor Real Vinas Centenarias Tempranillo.

Service throughout our meal suffered from a few slow spots, but our server was friendly, and never let us feel neglected. These are still early days, and the place is hopping, so minor delays can be easily forgiven. We were in no rush.

The bill for our meal, including HST, added up to $129.92.

FREQUENTLY referred to as the “blue building” in recent years, the commercial block at 279 East Eighth St. in North Vancouver has actually been through various paint jobs since it was built around 1912. This photograph was taken in 1975 when a coat of reddish-brown paint was applied to cover a dark brown facade and bright blue trim. The North Vancouver Museum and Archives is keen to know if there are any earlier photographs of this building. If you can help, email the reference historian at ided@dnv.org, or call 604-990-3700, ext 8012.

Marshall finally wins at Swangard Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

IT took more than seven years of effort as well as a complete change of sport but North Vancouver’s Jason Marshall finally got to experience winning at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.

perhaps even top-10. They didn’t have to wait long to hear the two names called, with Reinhart barely off the stage before his buddy Rielly was on his way up — top5 for both of them.

“The two of them seem to have been linked together since they were four years old. It’s just a big thrill,” said Hollyburn chief executive officer Ed McLaughlin, who has known both kids nearly their entire lives. “We’ve kind of looked back as far as we can — we don’t think there’s been two kids taken top 5 (in the same draft) from any association ever, other than the Sedins.”

This wasn’t the first time the pair has met at the top of a draft board — Rielly was taken second in the 2009 WHL bantam draft by the Moose Jaw Warriors with Reinhart following right after, going third to the Edmonton Oil Kings. They’ve stood out at every level, said McLaughlin, adding that Reinhart, now six-foot-four, has grown into an imposing presence on the ice.

“He’s a big, strong defenceman. He’s had kind of an NHL shot since he was 15 and now he’s got the size to back it up,” he said. Reinhart comes from a burgeoning family of hockey royalty — father Paul was

Marshall suited up with the national senior men’s rugby team Saturday in an international friendly against Georgia and helped Team Canada to a 31-12 victory.

Before joining the national rugby team Marshall was a multi-sport athlete who parlayedastrongcareerinrugby and football at Carson Graham into a spot as a quarterback on the team at Simon Fraser University. Swangard stadium was their home field back in those days but Marshall and the Clan didn’t form many fond memories of the place — his tenure with the team coincided with an excruciating 25-game losing streak that spanned parts of four seasons.

Through it all Marshal never once tasted victory on the Swangard soil.

After finishing at SFU Marshall tried to catch on in the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos but was cut, paving the way for his return to the rugby pitch. It didn’t take long for him to catch the attention of the national team after he rejoined the Capilano Rugby Club and by the time the 2011 Rugby World Cup rolled around he was a fixture in the starting lineup. Saturday was his first elite-level game at Swangard since those tough SFU days.

“It’s bittersweet I guess,” Marshall said after Canada’s victory in front of a packed grandstand full of red and white. “I never won a game here in football but I finally broke that streak today.”

Playing the last of a threegame test series that began with a win over the United States and a loss to Italy, the Canadian came out firing

IN their younger days West Vancouver’s Griffin Reinhart (left photo) and Morgan Rielly met as four-year-olds in the Hollyburn Country Club’s Cookie Monsters beginner’s hockey program. On Friday the duo, now both strapping 18-year-old defencemen, went fourth and fifth overall in the 2012 NHL draft held in Pittsburgh.

Top 5 for Hollyburn buds Andy Prest aprest@nsnews.com

FOUR years ago the Huskies of the Hollyburn Country Club and the Winterhawks of the North Shore Winter Club faced off in a do-or-die playoff with a trip to the bantam provincial championships on the line.

Defencemen Morgan Rielly and Griffin Reinhart, along with forward Alexander Kerfoot, led the way for the Huskies while the Hawks were fronted by forward Colton Sissons and defenceman Dalton Thrower.

Smooth-skating Rielly gave the Huskies a 1-0 lead and the score stayed that way until the dying moments when Hollyburn, a program on the rise that didn’t have near the pedigree of the powerhouse Winter Club, added an empty netter to seal the win.

“It was a huge upset, huge for Hollyburn hockey,” Rielly told the North Shore News this week as he reminisced about those old battles. Those five players — three from the Huskies and two from the Winterhawks — reunited last weekend on the big board at the 2012 NHL entry

draft held in Pittsburgh. The names Reinhart and Rielly sat right near the top of the board, back-to-back fourth and fifth overall to the New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs, respectively. Sissons and Thrower followed, again going backto-back, 50th and 51st overall to Nashville and Montreal. Kerfoot, 150th overall to the New Jersey Devils, made it a complete handful of draft-worthy players from that one bantam game.

“It’s kind of cool when you look back on it,” said Rielly. “At the time we were just playin’.”

Now they’re all potential pros, with the two former Hollyburn defencemen leading the way in the class of 2012. On Friday night a crowd gathered at Hollyburn to watch the draft unfold, knowing that experts were touting Reinhart and Rielly — childhood friends who met in the club’s Cookie Monsters beginner’s hockey program — both as potential top-15 picks,

Canadians take out Georgia in test series finale

against Georgia, building up a 20-0 lead in the early stages of the game and taking a 23-7 advantage into halftime.

The second half began with a bang for Canada as winger Sean Duke picked off a pass

and sprinted nearly the entire length of the field to push the lead to 28-7. A converted penalty kick from Canadian fullback James Pritchard at the final whistle gave him 21 points on the day and sealed the 19-point victory. Georgia may not immediately bring to mind rugby domination but they’ve played in the last three Rugby World

Cups and are ranked No. 15 in the world, just two spots behind Canada. Georgia’s forwards had a size advantage but the Canadians, with Marshall starting at the tighthead prop spot, held their ground and then some.

“They’re a physical team and we brought our physicality too — that really helped us with the win,” said Marshall. “That Georgia team is a really physical team, they’re big boys. It’s one of those mental things, you’ve got to be prepared to feel the pain all game so for the most part that’s what we were doing. I thought we represented pretty well for Canada.”

Marshall may have even been a little too physical as he earned a yellow card near the end of the second half and watched the final 10 minutes from the sin bin.

“Me and the referee had a bit of a conflict,” he said. “He’s the one that makes the decisions and I came out on the short end of the stick on

that one.”

The dustup didn’t dampen his day at all though as Marshall joined his teammates in saluting the fans following the final whistle on a day in which rain threatened but never arrived.

“We don’t get many opportunities to play (in Canada) so to have one in Vancouver was pretty cool,” said Marshall. The 27-year-old ruptured a bicep while playing for his pro team in France three months ago but worked hard at his rehab to ensure he was healthy for Canada’s home series.

“I was kind of pushing to make it back for this tour,” he said, adding that it was great to reunite with his Canadian teammates for the first time since the World Cup. Their next chance to tour will come in November.

“I’m looking forward to that one already,” said Marshall. “I find that we build every tour that we go on, developing as a rugby nation.”

Let’s clear up some misconceptions about laser vision correction.

Not all vision correction procedures are the same. Some clinics still offer LASIK, which is an older procedure that uses a blade to cut your eye. There is no need to do that anymore. London Eye Centre specializes in the most advanced, all-laser techniques that provide the best possible personal vision.

FREE CONSULTATION Call 604 526 2020 to schedule a free comprehensive consultation at our North Vancouver facilities.

Clinics that advertise vision correction for $500 an eye, rarely charge $500. Their actual procedure fees are often much higher. London Eye Centre charges one all-inclusive fee. There are no surprises. No wonder British Columbians have trusted their vision to London Eye Centre for more than 25 years.

Call today to book your free consultation in North Vancouver and get all the facts about laser vision correction.

an NHL standout and older brother Max and younger brother Sam are also highly touted prospects. “There’s some great talent in the family, obviously, some good lineage there,” said McLaughlin.

Rielly, meanwhile, has always been one of the best players on the ice, said McLaughlin.

“Morgan is just a tremendous skater and he has kind of been a lead player in his age group right from the get-go.”

To go back-to-back with his good friend made the already intense experience of being drafted into the NHL even better, said Rielly.

“That’s cool. It’s a pretty great story how we grew up playing together and we’re high picks into junior hockey and high picks again in the pro level. It’s been a pretty cool story and I think it’s just that much cooler to have him there with me.”

They both owe a lot of thanks to the club that supplied high level coaching and gave the kids as much ice time as they could handle, said Rielly.

“Hollyburn has been a pretty huge aspect of my hockey career,” he said.

“I’ve always had great people around me at Hollyburn and I’m extremely grateful I had the opportunity to play for the Huskies.”

There’s a lot of credit to go around, starting with Hollyburn hockey coordinator Jack Cummings, but most of the kudos should go to the players themselves who have made the most of their opportunities, said McLaughlin.

“It’s been a real collective,” he said. “Being part of a small program I think we’ve had amazing coaching from our hockey co-ordinator Jack Cummings to Paul Reinhart, Stan Smyl — those guys were all involved in our program.

When you bring that talent level and ability to any program you’re obviously going to have success. But it really boils down to those two boys just being really talented.

“It’s an amazing accomplishment for both kids and they both really deserve it, they’re both two great guys,” he said. “They’ve both worked very hard at the game for a long time.”

DUDLEY, Lorna Kathleen (nee McPhedrain) Sept. 2, 1931 - June 8, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing on June 8th of Lorna Kathleen Dudley (nee McPhedrain) after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She passed with her husband and sons at her side. Lorna is survived by her husband of 55 years (Len); sons Alan (Andrea); Brian (Cristy & daughter Earlene); and Darrell (Deborah); and granddaughters Tessa, Tamara, Ariana, Kayla and Serena. Lorna was predeceased by her parents Olive and Willard McPhedrain and brother Larry (Fran). She is survived by her sister Lavina Shaw, nieces Lenora (Miles), and Brenda (Tugamir), and their children. Lorna was born in the United Church Mission Hospital in Ethelbert, MB. Her happy and busy childhood years were spent growing up in a train station/ residence in Sifton, MB, where her father was the popular station agent. After completing high school, Lorna worked for a year with Revenue Canada in Winnipeg, after which she entered nursing school at Winnipeg General Hospital (WGH). After graduation as a registered nurse (RN), Lorna moved to Vancouver and practiced as a nurse at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and St. Paul’s Hospital, in Vancouver. In 1959, Lorna and Len moved to North Vancouver where she enjoyed her passion for gardening and developed many wonderful friendships. A memorial service for Lorna, followed by a reception in the church hall, will be held on Thursday, June 28th at 1 pm at North Lonsdale United Church, 3380 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver, where Lorna was an active member for many years.

The family offers heartfelt thanks to the caregivers at Sunrise Senior Living at Lynn Valley, who extended to Lorna the same kindness and gentleness that Lorna gave to her patients and others throughout her life. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lorna’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. (www.alzheimerbc.org) would be appreciated.

LARMOUR - William Frederick Jan 31, 1924 - Jun 20, 2012 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandpa and brother William Frederick Larmour of North Vancouver following a stroke. Bill is mourned by his daughter Janet (Bob); son Bill Jr; grandson Sam; sisters Elizabeth, Mabel, Freda and Olive in Northern Ireland and Scotland and all of their families as well as many other nieces and nephews.

Bill was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland and immigrated to Canada in the 1950’s leaving behind his wonderful family, mother and father Jeannie and William Frederick and eight brothers and sisters. Bill began his life-long shipbuilding career at Harland and Wolff in Belfast, following in his father’s footsteps. He settled in North Vancouver where he was employed by Burrard Drydock for his entire working career. He met our mom, Madeline, at a St. Patrick’s Day dance at the YMCA in Vancouver. They were married in 1963 spending their entire lives on the North Shore enjoying family life. We were all deeply saddened when mom passed away in May 2011, but her death was particularily difficult for my dad who was left alone. Following his retirement, dad enjoyed spending Mondays and Fridays at Seymour Golf and Country Club assisting with tournaments and golf course activities. He remained active right up to the end and never missed his earlymorning walk.

2 Timothy 4: 7 & 8 'I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.'

Special thanks to dad’s friend, Doctor Paul Sugar of Lions Gate Hospital. Funeral service will be held Thursday June 28, 11 a.m. at St. Andrew’s and St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church 2641 Chesterfield Ave., North Vancouver. nsnews.com

SCHRADER - Lilah Belle 1910 - 2012 It is with great sadness that our mother, grandmother, great grandmother took her final walk on June 23, 2012. Lilah was born October 2, 1910 in the Bentley Alberta area. She is one of six children born to Calvin and Ethel Moulton, all deceased.

Predeceased by her son Owen in June 2009, grandsons Russell Schrader and Eric Johnson.

Survived by sons Keith (Yoshi) of Lethbridge, AB and Arizona, Neil of Vancouver, BC, daughters Marlene Johnson of Hamilton, ON, and LaRayne Carroll of Calgary AB, grandsons Dean (Roxana) Johnson, Brett Carroll and Glenn Schrader, grand daughters Darilyn Schrader, Kimball Fletcher, Leau & Rimbey Schrader, one great granddaughter Georgia Fletcher and seven great grandsons Brodie Metcalfe, Maxwell Fletcher, Clayton, Dennis and Cayden Johnson, Juan & Harold Rynaldo.

Lilah made her home in Northern BC and the Yukon cooking in camps and spent winters in North Vancouver with LaRayne’s family where she watched her grandchildren Kimball and Brett grow up. She retired to North Vancouver in her early 70s and was part of her great grandchildren Brodie, Georgia and Maxwell’s lives as small children and young adults. In the last few years, although she could always remember our names, her mind had erased our faces from her memory and we became children again. One of her favourite things to do was drive around with her son Neil in his van. The family wishes to thank the Lodge staff of Lynn Valley Care Facility for their consistently warm and caring attention to her needs and also Dr. Mary Robertson for her care and kindness to our mother for close to forty years. Lilah has requested there be no service.

VILLENEUVE, Clifford In Memory of Cliff (Clifford) Villeneuve who passed away suddenly on June 17th 2012 at the young age of 34. Cliff leaves behind so many who loved and cherished him. He will be dearly missed by his wife and soul mate Jody, their 2 young children, his parents Steve and Brenda Villeneuve, Sister Sharlene, her husband John, Nieces, Nephews, Aunties, Uncles, Cousins, extended family and friends.

You have passed through the rainbow To the beauty on the other side Leaving behind those who loved you To try to understand why We will love you forever And when our tears run dry Rainbows will be our connection To keep your memory alive

WATSON, John Cameron May 24, 1936 - June 13, 2012 With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beloved John, husband to Margaret, father to Cameron (Judy), Iain (Lienna) and Gregory (Barbara), and adoring grandfather to Natalie, Zachary, and baby Peter.

He so enjoyed his time there. We all love you John. Sleep well dear.

Obituaries

GOODMAN, Edna May

With heartfelt sadness we announce the sudden, but peaceful passing of our dear mother, Edna. Predeceased by her loving husband Cyril in 1989, she is survived by son Allan (Rosemary), daughter Marylin (Barry); grandchildren Zac, Mark and Stephen and great-granddaughter Wynne. Born in Bassano, Alberta in 1921, Edna moved to North Vancouver where she became an active member of St. Agnes Church, brownie leader and camping enthusiast. Edna loved and supported her family all through their lives, quietly making everything possible for others.

Her move to White Rock allowed her to become an active part of her grandchildren’s lives as well as a volunteer with the White Rock Hospital Auxiliary (Superfluity Shop) and local Heart and Stroke Mall walking club. A celebration of Edna’s life will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012 at the Bell & Burnaby Funeral Chapel reception lounge, 4276 Hastings Street, Burnaby. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

Condolences may be offered to the family at www.bellburnaby.com

Music Appreciation Some experts have said that it is better for children to develop a love of music rather than teaching them to play it. Even if you don’t have a musical bone in your body you can encourage an appreciation of music: • Sing and dance with your child • Play clapping games to give them a feel for rhythm • Use everyday objects as instruments: spoons, pots and pans, bubble wrap, small jars filled part way with dry rice or beans • Learn action songs together from online resources • Go to free concerts in the park • Research and share the life stories of famous composers and musicians • Discuss your favourite songs • Pick out free music downloads from your local library • Learn how to make homemade musical instruments from rubber bands, empty boxes, combs and waxed paper • Check out CD’s, videos and books about music from the library.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
