ovember 16 is Have a Party with Your Bear Day. Yes, really. It exists.

Google it.

During my ‘life as a ballet teacher’ I enjoyed many teddy bear picnics. Young children understand that magic is real. They have no difficulty seeing the dragons hiding in the shadows as they skip through makebelieve forests, adding glittery berries to their baskets. Tiptoeing back to the circle, they bake their berry pies, silently, following the rhythm of the music. Then they invite the forest creatures to share their freshly-baked pies and tea.

Each ballerina whispers her favourite colour and we pour rainbow tea into imaginary teacups – for ourselves and our friends – fairies, bunnies and bears. And the occasional smelly troll. In thirty years of teaching ballet, I have never encountered a drama or a conflict that could not be resolved with a tea party.

I have, over the past few months, been part of some ‘big people’ tea parties, talking about belonging. Most recently, I participated in a collaboration between a number of community organisations, including the North Shore Multicultural Society (and its Centre for Diversity) and the North Shore Immigrant Inclusion Partnership (a coalition of agencies working to make the North Shore more inclusive). We sat in a circle filled with our differences. And there were

many. But there was also a teapot. And cookies. And the question was a simple one: “What does place mean to you?” And suddenly I felt like Alice at the Mad Hatter’s tea party, faced with the question, “why is a raven like a writing desk?”

When I first read the Hatter’s riddle, more than forty years ago, I spent sleepless nights trying to solve it. (Yes, I was that child.) Of course, now I know that the point is not to solve it. The point is to revive the sleepy corners of our minds, the bits where magic lives, hidden by the cobwebs of busyness – of ‘shoulds’ and ‘have-tos’ and ‘better-nots.’ And that’s what happens when we make a circle, have a cuppa tea (real or make-believe) and listen to the colours of each other’s lives. It wakes us up to possibility.

What we shared at our tea party in the West Vancouver Memorial Library recently, on just another regular Wednesday evening, was our stories about place – and how they are inextricably tied to love and loss. And belonging. Or not. And we discovered what we have in common, what binds us: a never-ending search for our place in an everchanging world.

Novelist James Baldwin once said, “The place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I make it.” I couldn’t agree more. All the tea parties I’ve attend-

ed – both real and imaginary – have shown me that it is possible to make that place in which we can fit. But we need each other.

To do it together.

November 16 is my birthday. And I am tickled pink to share it with Have a Party with Your Bear Day. And here is my birthday challenge: have a tea party and invite all the creatures in your habitat. Don’t forget the smelly troll. He doesn’t get invited to many parties. Gather together around a tea pot. Cookies are optional. Listen to each other’s stories of getting here. That’s all. Make time for silence. To acknowledge each unique journey. And the wonder of so many different paths intersecting at this very moment in time and space. Then wait for the magic to happen. Its name will be belonging. Happy birthday to us.

MOUNTAINS TO SEA

100 years of botany Elspeth Bradbury

J

ohn Davidson, a young Scotsman, had lived in Vancouver for little more than a year when he set off in 1912 on a camping trip to the North Shore.

From the Capilano River he headed west towards Black Mountain and was surprised to discover that a steep gulley (Cypress Creek) separated his destination from the ridge he had been exploring. The area was little known to the European newcomers, and it had been assumed that the ridge was part of Black Mountain itself. He named the separate area Hollyburn Ridge in recognition of the fledgling settlement on the shoreline below.

The camping trip was much more than a youthful adventure. Davidson was a botanist and the purpose of his trip was to document, for the first time, the vegetation of the area that is now a part of Cypress Provincial Park. His list of more than two dozen perennial species included such beauties as tiger lily, Davidson’s penstemon and common butterwort. From Black Mountain he returned to the coast at Caulfeild, plant hunting as he went.

By the end of his first year in B.C., Davidson had been appointed Provincial Botanist and had begun a collection of plant species that expanded to become the

provincial herbarium and botanical garden – the first in Canada. Over the next few years, the energetic academic created the first map of British Columbia’s river basins and published the first work on the flora of B.C. and of Savary Island. His botanical study of the dry belt mountains from Lytton to Spence’s Bridge included information on the use of plants by the native people, and he later became an au-

The society, now called Nature Vancouver, celebrated its centenary this year by hosting the annual conference for B.C. Nature and by partnering with the Museum of Vancouver to present a year-long exhibition titled Wild Things: The Power of Nature in our Lives.

Davidson’s account of his expedition on the mountains above West Vancouver was the forerunner of several botanical reports. In September this year, Katharine Steig, West Vancouver resident and founding member of the society Friends of Cypress Provincial Park, updated the research with a talk comparing Davidson’s plant list with more recent findings.

FCPP, following in Davidson’s footsteps as advocates for the protection of natural areas, has been instrumental in protecting Hollyburn Mountain from downhill skiing development.

It works to increase appreciation of the park’s old-growth forest as well as the great range of subalpine plants growing there, and it removes invasive species.

In 2010, the FCPP was instrumental in attempting to salvage plants, including the rare butterwort, from the construction site of the Olympic snowmaking reservoir.

Although this effort has not been very successful, happily, Katharine was able to report that, after more than 100 years, all the plants noted by Davidson still grow in the area, and while the survival of some is precarious others are thriving.

“Davidson’s account of his expedition on the mountains above West Vancouver was the forerunner of several botanical reports.” thority on the subject.

He helped to found the Vancouver Natural History Society and in 1918 he served as its first president – a post he retained for 19 years. Both he and the VNHS became powerful voices on behalf of the natural environment. He promoted, for instance, the creation of Garibaldi Provincial Park and in 1924, his fiery public presentation Wake Up! Vancouver, which addressed the dangers of clearcutting in the Capilano watershed, was instrumental in limiting the logging there. The VNHS connection with West Vancouver was

When Lt. Harrison joined the army, conscription was not practiced in Canada. During his training, this changed. Although conscription occurred, the law in Canada stated that conscriptees could not be sent overseas.

Lt. Harrison had joined the army with the intention of fighting overseas. There was a good chance that, because most of the Winnipeg Light Infantry Battalion consisted of conscriptees, Lt. Harrison would not get the opportunity to fight overseas and do what he had been training for. The British Army had lost a lot of junior infantry officers in wars in Africa and Italy.

tus and get Canadian pay, which was a higher wage than the British junior officers. This was known as the CanLoan (Canadians on loan to the British Army) program. Of the 30-40 officers in the Winnipeg Light Infantry Battalion, only three volunteered and Lt. Harrison was one of them.

The three officers that volunteered from the Winnipeg Light Infantry Battalion went to the departure point, Sussex, N.B. to choose their posts. They all chose to join the Cameronians. They were joined by one other CanLoan officer and the four of them went to train in England with the British 52nd Lowland Division, based in Perth, Scotland.

Lt. Harrison was sent with his platoon to South Beveland Island in Holland. This was an island below sea level, near Antwerp. Antwerp was an important port that the allies wanted to gain control over so that they could have a secure supply route from the Atlantic to Antwerp. The islands in the waterway leading to Antwerp were occupied by the Germans. The 52nd Division’s mission was to help secure South Beveland. The mission was a success, but Lt. Harrison was injured in battle. While pushing back German soldiers on South Beveland Island, Lt. Harrison’s platoon encountered lots of gunfire and mortar. A mortar exploded overhead and some shrapnel hit Lt. Harrison in the right thigh. Because of the position of the Germans, Lt. Harrison ordered his platoon to take cover. Lt. Harrison took cover in a ditch. When they tried to leave their hiding place, they got shot at so they had to wait until dark to get back to the rest of the battalion.

When he got back to his base, Lt. Harrison felt lucky that the shrapnel had just grazed him. He was wrong. After a week, infection set in and he could hardly walk. He needed to go to a hospital. His brother-in-law was a doctor with a field hospital posted near Antwerp

so, since there was an ambulance heading to Antwerp, Lt. Harrison was offered that choice.

He arrived at the field hospital only to find that his brother-in-law had been shipped out the day before. While there, he found out that the shrapnel had entered his thigh and he required surgery. He had the shrapnel removed and then he was flown to Sussex, England where he stayed in a Canadian General Hospital. He was given penicillin shots every three hours for a month.

Lt. Harrison fully anticipated returning to battle. He left all of his belongings with his platoon. Unfortunately, after he left, the platoon suffered huge casualties and he never was able to retrieve his things. Lt. Harrison’s wound caused him to be considered not fit for battle so he was sent to Northern Ireland to train a battalion. He remained there for the remainder of the war - about four months. After the war he was sent to West Germany for three months, as part of the Occupation forces. Sadly, about Continued on page 5

Veggie Coconu t Red Thai Curr y

The disappearing veggie coconut red Thai curry Cooking with Chlo Chloé Noël

A

year ago, my mom said, “I have to cut the apron strings at some point.” She suggested some ways in which I could tackle my lack of independence. I got the message and officially moved out of my parents’ home this summer. Now, at age 22, I am living with two of my friends from high school. There are many perks to living away from home, one of which is the freedom to do whatever you please. I have also found that I am significantly more motivated to grocery shop, invent recipes and cook healthy meals (likely, because I have no choice). One of my favourite meals is a comforting veggie coconut red Thai curry. The first time I made it I ended up cooking far too

While in Germany, he made money in an interesting way. As a Canadian, he was allowed to receive two cartons of cigarettes every two weeks. Cigarettes were very hard to come by in Germany at that time. Lt. Harrison smoked a few, but sold the rest on the black market.

much, and had seven extra Tupperware containers full of curry and rice left over. Naturally, I told my housemates that they were welcome to have some of it. The next day, I enjoyed my leftovers at school and was looking forward to eating some more later that night for dinner.

When I finally got home, I discovered that all the remaining curry was completely gone. I was shocked, hungry, agitated, yet also slightly flattered. Now I’ve learned to use the phrase “you are welcome to have some” a little more conservatively. All of this goes to show that this recipe will certainly be a hit. It is delicious, foolproof, healthy and versatile: you could easily substitute the tofu for chicken, red meat or even fish! As it is now, the recipe is entirely vegan while also being rich, creamy and filling. If you choose to make it, don’t expect to have any leftovers.

Lt. Harrison was able to continue his education and went to medical school. While waiting for the school session to start, he got a job delivering Coca Cola. He is grateful to the army for paying for his education. He had another daughter and son. He was given an al-

lowance to support his family while getting his education. Lt. Harrison practiced medicine as a general practitioner for 37 years. For the last 22 years, he has been doing surgical assists at Burnaby Hospital.

Lt. Harrison visited the Memorial Cemetery in Normandy for the British soldiers.

In the first few rows of crosses he knew three or four of the fallen CanLoan officers. For 55 years he went to reunions of the CanLoan officers. The reunions have stopped because there

are few of them left and they are getting too old to travel.

My Grandpa is Lt. Harrison. He is 95 and lives in West Vancouver where he enjoys sitting in his chair by the window overlooking the park, street and water activity in Horseshoe Bay. His favourite view, of course, is across Howe Sound with its littered islands and beautiful mountain ranges in the background. His best friend and wife of 42 years, Karen, takes really good care of him. He is happy.

Rockridge students film Wigwam Inn BY

Isabelle Launhardt-Nabahat

R

ockridge Secondary film students are creating a documentary on the historically rich Wigwam Inn located along Indian Arm. Owned by a plethora of individuals since being built in 1909, the inn now belongs to the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.

The Rockridge team will set out to reveal this beautiful location through film. It will premiere at the Kay Meek Theater on April 12, 2019.

The Wigwam’s charm previously caught the attention of guests like John D. Rockefeller and John Jacob Astor. It is rumored that Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was to have invested in the resort, persuaded by his

Vancouver-based friend, Gustavo Constantin Alvo von Alvensleben. When World War I started Alvo von Alvensleben was accused of being a German spy and escaped to the United States leaving the mysteries behind at the inn.

Rockridge students will interview members of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club willing to share experiences and stories of the haunted rooms and the once bustling fishing resort as well as its members within. Researchers will then work hard to give the project the degree of accuracy and authentication needed. The team will spend six months developing and refining the content and preparing for our limited time at Wigwam Inn. As the location is only accessible by boat, the crew and equipment will be shuttled up

over the course of the production which will be one week of high action. The difficulty of access, while somewhat inconvenient, adds to the remote charm of the building. The inn has survived as a time capsule throughout the years.

This is Rockridge film’s third year of operation with previous films such as Long Shot: A Brian Upson story, winning international titles. Our more recent film endeavour was an adaptation of Stephen King’s short story, “Gray Matter.”

We hope to make our project something truly unique. Any contribution would be much appreciated. You will be able to support the legacy of this historical landmark by donating to our Indiegogo page. This is a crowdfunding service which helps creators and

backers to connect with each other to raise money for their creative ventures by raising small sums of money from a wide variety of people. Our page can be found on Indiegogo by searching “Wigwam Inn, Feature Film.”

O Christmas Tea, a British comedy BY

Jill Raymond

C

anadian Comedy Award winners James & Jamesy are dashing through the snow on their way to delight audiences of all ages with their holidaythemed comedy, O Christmas Tea, this December. Fans of Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Dr. Seuss will love this rollicking Christmas romp through a world steeped in tea as we join these friends on an adventure like no other.

“The Christmas season is a magical time of year that brings people of all ages together; a time when we are encouraged to dream big, embrace imagination, and celebrate a

childlike excitement for merriment,” explained Alastair Knowles, who plays Jamesy, the quirky and playful half of London’s three-time Impresario Award-winning duo.

“O Christmas Tea’s joyous holiday spirit sweeps spectators into an immersive adventure, leaving them bubbling with laughter and brimming with holiday cheer.”

“O Christmas Tea has become a tradition not only for audiences, but for us as well,” reflects Aaron Malkin, who plays James. “For the entire month of December, our lives are completely immersed in Christmas Tea, and each fall, we have a particularly thrilling time researching new stage effects that will help transform theatres into Christmas wonderlands. These effects help serve our constant search for new ways and more ef-

fective ways to help people of all ages embrace the power and joy of imagination.”

In 2017, they sold out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe and are currently performing a 5-week run Off Broadway at New York’s SoHo Playhouse. Among other accolades, the physical comedians are winners of the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Live Ensemble and are 21-time “Best of Fest” winners on the International Comedy circuit. James & Jamesy continue to defy expectations with their innovative creations that delight and excite audiences of all ages.

Performances of O Christmas Tea will take place at the Kay Meek Centre on Monday, December 10 and Tuesday, December 11 at 7.30pm.

Meet local artist at ‘Cork and Canvas’ on November 9 BY

Lindy Pfeil

C

anadian-Ukrainian artist, Roman Rozumnyj, moved to Eagle Harbour a little over three years ago and loves everything about it. Born in Sudbury, Ontario and raised in Winnipeg, he graduated from the University of Manitoba. He relocated to B.C. in 1992 and he and his family slowly made their way west via a few renovations in East and North Vancouver, one of which appeared on Love It or List It Vancouver.

They came for the beauty, the good schools and the proximity to the ocean.

“This is such an amazing pocket of West Vancouver,” he says. “The landscape and micro climate are conducive to creating inspirational works both inside and out.” Inspired by the raw beauty of the West Coast and his local Eagle Harbour surroundings, his works convey pure emotion, often exploring different styles which parallel abstract expressionism, fauvism, and most recently street art and pop culture.

Roman has also established himself as an international interior designer. “Art and interior design go hand in hand. They each require skill to properly execute the principles of balance, flow, aesthetics and attention to detail. You need to know when to put down both the brush and the drafting pen. That is the key, knowing when to stop.”

His interior designs are minimalistic celebrations of space that feature clean lines, modern furnishings, muted whites and natural materials. These designs merge the look and feel of a comfortable home with the aesthetics of an art gallery.

Roman respectfully labels his works ‘WestCoastModernArt’ with an edge. He is heavily influenced by strong chroma and heavy textures. Paint often raises off the canvas, drawing you in. “If it holds you, then I’ve done my job,” he explains.

Each piece of art tells a story, and you’ll be able to ask Roman about these in person at the upcoming ‘Cork and Canvas’ group show, to be held on November 9 from 6 to 9:30pm at the Eagle Harbour Yacht Club.

Roman and other local artists will be

showcasing select pieces for purchase. 10% of all proceeds will go towards the Junior Club’s equipment program. Roman is a member of the Yacht Club, largely because of his love of paddle boarding. His favourite local spot is Eagle Harbour Beach, and he feels fortunate that it is just a ten-minute walk from his home.

land on May 14, 1939. He studied piano and theory as a youth and began his career in journalism with the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph at age 14. After attending the University of Nottingham he wrote about the arts and entertainment for magazines in London, England. “It was at the messy, pulsing heart of the fabled ‘swinging Sixties.’ These jobs were passports to the most glamorous events and people in the city—my appointments diaries from those years read like a catalogue of the singers, actors and entertainers who were to define the era,” says Max. “The Beatles, for instance. They were operating out of a little office over a porno bookshop just off Cambridge Circus on the northeast fringes of Soho. In 1963 I joined them on and off tour, helping them load in their sound equipment and Ringo’s drums at dance-halls around the nation. Late that summer, prescient as always, I did a piece asking, ‘When will the Beatle bubble burst?’

McCartney couldn’t see it ending as long as their records continued to sell.” But cleareyed Lennon told Max, “I don’t want to be a Beatle when I’m 30. I’ve got other things to do with my life.”

His passion and knowledge about the arts reached the attention of features editor, Alex MacGillivray, who offered him the dream job - arts critic for western Canada’s biggest newspaper. The arts and culture section for the newspaper began to grow from single pages to full sections. By1973, the paper was running full-page promotional ads for his column titled “Musically Speaking, Wyman Knows the Score.” Max was a star for the Vancouver Sun. He covered everything professional in theatre, music and dance. The Sun sent him to Stratford and Shaw (in Ontario) every summer for the opening weeks. One year they sent him to Europe to cover the summer festivals. “It was a wonderful time,” says Max. He edited the Sun’s Saturday Review for five years and was founding editor of the Sun’s Review of Books. He wrote regular columns for numerous national and international magazines and supplied arts commentary to CBC radio for decades.

“Engagement with art, with the product of someone else’s imagination, can change your life, often for the better, and sometimes profoundly.” - Max Wyman

come could do worse than choose journalism,” he says. “It is hugely satisfying for anyone looking for instant gratification (your sentences are usually in print within hours of their creation), enormously rewarding for the adrenalin junkie (the deadlines push up the levels every time) and it allows you to become an instant ‘expert’ on a different topic every day.”

By the early 1970s Max and Anna (who had built an international reputation as the artistic director of the Anna Wyman Dance Theatre and still maintains a school in West Vancouver) had parted ways and in 1974 Max met and married Susan Mertens, a fellow arts critic for the Vancouver Sun. They have lived in Lions Bay for almost all of their years together. (More about life in Lions Bay on the next page.)

His work as a writer on the arts led to an invitation to serve on the board of the Canada Council for the Arts, the country’s principal arts-funding body. That position led eventually to the presidency of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, the branch of the United Nations responsible for education, science and culture.

That gave Max the opportunity to engage deeply with an issue that has always been of prime importance to him: the integration of the arts, culture and creative activity into education. “It is essential,” he believes, “to let children discover and celebrate the power of their imagination through creative expression. The arts should be an integral element of the way we learn.” He led the Canadian

delegation to UNESCO’s first world summit on arts and education in Portugal in the spring of 2006, spoke at the second world summit in Seoul in 2010, and was a keynote speaker at the World Creativity Summits in Hong Kong, Taipei and Newcastle.

The Max Wyman Award for Cultural Commentary, known as “The Max,” was established by philanthropist Yosef Wosk in 2017 to recognize achievement in critical writing and commentary on the visual, performing and literary arts. At the award

announcement ceremony Mr. Wosk remarked, “Max is a cultural paragon whose clear vision, incisive writing, and fearless voice have both grounded and encouraged us for half a century.”

Retiring managing director of the Arts Club, Bill Millerd, has known Max for 40 years as a critic and colleague. In his view, “Max is a unique individual who created a stir when he was with the Vancouver Sun. He prodded those of us who work in the industry to keep improving our craft. He re-

minded us, with regularity, that the future of our industry lies in engaging young people. We are better today for it. Aside from his ability to craft a phrase he had knowledge about what he wrote and you don’t see that today. This was his life’s work. And he had a real understanding of how the arts work in our society.” Bill continues on a more personal note about Max, the friend: “He is witty. It is a sly wit. He has a twinkle in his eye that says we can’t take ourselves too seriously.”

Really long livers BY

Kim Clarke

L

illian turned 100 on October 15.

People are surprised to hear that she is 100. She doesn’t look a day over 90. She is always impeccably groomed except for missing the occasional chin wax appointment. And who could blame her?

These are the appointments we try to forget.

Lillian comes from a line of six long-lived siblings. Her youngest sister just passed a month ago at 97, a week short of her 98th.

Pneumonia. It happens and takes us when we least expect it. All of her siblings lived into their mid-nineties. They stayed youthful-looking up until they passed and they all lived by the same motto: “If you look good you feel good.” They all had excellent dental work, smiled often because of it, were snappy dressers, and they loved a glass of beer.

They were frequently asked how they stayed so young. The collective answer seemed to be that they remained active physically and mentally and have no regrets.

The artist of the family continued to draw and paint. The athlete walked, golfed and curled until he was 90. The oldest of the six was a security guard until he was 92, and the youngest at 97 travelled and soaked up the sun wherever she could. All of them have maintained their sense of humour, laughing about the trials and tribulations of life.

Lillian has a rigorous routine. She’s up early to catch the sunrise, have a coffee and read the paper, so that she has something to talk about with folks during the day.

She dresses like a 60-year-old. Black tights, mini-skirts and a cane to match each outfit.

But Lillian is different from her sibs in the regret department. She has one. She always wanted to live at the beach, ride her bike by the water, and read her paper to the sound of waves. Her son told her it was a dream not worth having: she didn’t have a car, she was too far from a city, from family. She listened but wished she hadn’t.

And now she is in an assisted living facility in the prairies. But there is a saving grace.

Her room looks out on a river and she can watch the changing seasons, drink her coffee at daybreak and pretend she is at the beach. Dreams do come true, but dressed in coats of different colours. Sometimes we get our wishes, dreams deferred, changed, yet perfect when we recognize they have been granted.

Kim Clarke is a writer and teacher who lives in Horseshoe Bay. She is surprised and delighted by the inexplicable details of everyday: nothing is random, everything is purposeful and beautiful and fabulous and sparkly and she wants to share sparkle, in all its forms, with the world.

transformed into a four-lane expressway.

It took tireless, diligent work by council to ensure that the community character of Lions Bay was not lost in the process.

A Wyman initiative (“most of my best ideas come from Susan,” he says, “and this was one of them”) was a Lions Bay coat of arms with the motto Splendour in Serenity, created by Max. One of the real pleasures of the job for Max was participating in the Metro Vancouver meetings that are attended by mayors of the 20 communities in Greater Vancouver. He set up the first ever Metro Vancouver Cultural Affairs Committee.

Council colleagues and citizens are united in their feelings that Max brought dignity, respect and a sense of caring to the mayoralty role. Trudi Luethy of the Lions Bay Historical Society comments, “Max is a wonderful citizen of Lions Bay and of the world for that matter. He is a private man who has led a public life. A gentle soul and an extraordinary human being.”

When not travelling overseas with his wife, Dave can be found playing cribbage with the group he started at the Westerleigh. The game has been a favourite in Dave’s family for generations, and next on his list is to challenge other PARC residences to a championship!

“We’ve made long-lasting friendships with other Westerleigh travellers.”

That’s how it is at Westerleigh PARC: it’s easy to keep up old interests, with new friends. And with PARC Retirement Living’s focus on maintaining a healthy body and mind through our Independent Living+ program, it’s easy to see how life’s just better here.

Why do some children behave disrespectfully?

Psyched Out Ian Macpherson

R

ecently, a client couple urged me to read an article criticizing permissive parenting. The article focused on the negative outcomes of this laissez-faire approach, such as children developing a mag-

nified sense of entitlement and showing extreme resistance to guidance and advice.

Their concern was that in adulthood these individuals would find themselves overly self-absorbed, insensitive towards others and undisciplined in general.

These clients were not mistaken in sharing the article’s notion that complete handsoff parenting is undesirable, but I was wondering why they were so focused on the evils of this kind of parenting versus their more authoritarian stance. They were at their wits’

end trying to come up with new punishments for the escalating “rude, aggressive and downright delinquent behaviours” of their young teen.

Consequences for misbehaviour are not always out of place, but why the focus on bad behaviour and its punishment? Child development researchers in the area of social learning have known for some time that authoritarian parenting, particularly when it includes harsh physical treatment and punishment, has led to even more disturbing outcomes for children including criminality, addiction and mental disorder.

Clearly, we are talking about extremes here. Surely there must be some middle ground? Yes and no. Permissive parenting with parents who have the capacity for warmth and connection results in more emotionally secure children, but if there are few limits, motivation problems may be an issue.

On the other hand, some research has indicated that parents who only emphasize their authority and strict discipline but are not severely punitive will more likely have children who have satisfactory achievement in conventional school subjects. However, these children have more difficulty with critical thinking and their moral reasoning tends to be unsophisticated. Depending on the degree of authority enforcement, emotional self-regulation is poorer in these children. As adults, they tend to experience more relationship conflict and failure.

Like much in life, a balance seems necessary. Evidence has found that a kind of compromise between permissive and authoritarian parenting works best. Rules and limits are needed. With a warm, responsive parent relying more on attachment than control, the child develops confidence and a sense

of self-worth. With this authoritative kind of parenting, the child forms a positive relationship rather than an angry defensive one marked by a vicious circle of ‘bad’ behaviour and punishment.

Psychologists have found that the noncompliant, disrespectful and aggressive behavior of antisocial children is not just present in the children; it is often found in the culture of the family which engages in heavy doses of shaming, blaming and angry defensiveness.

We tend to learn our parenting styles from the way we were treated as children.

An avoidance of emotional attachment created by our own authoritarian parents is what underlies our own stress around behavioural control; there is a lack of insight into the fact that ‘bad’ behaviour is a reaction to a disturbed emotional state involving fear and anger.

My clients were typical of authoritarian parents who represent the majority of those who seek help for their children. Like them, none of us finds it comfortable to acknowledge that we may be part of the problem. It is always easier to find a scapegoat when we are vulnerable and feel helpless. If as parents we look for justification for our own ‘bad’ behaviour we need to be accountable along with our children. Misbehavior in children is a marker of emotional difficulty involving both sides of the parenting relationship.

Both parent and child deserve respect - a process that may take some re-learning. Being the adults in the room, parents need to take the larger share of the responsibility for the problem and the solution.

JOE GARDENER

It’s time to protect and prepare your garden NOVEMBER - With winter on the not-so-distant horizon, you should start the preparation of garden beds for next season.

• By now spring bulbs have been placed, however, it is not too late. Plant bulbs and corms in a group pattern where they are placed ‘shoulder to shoulder’ in groups of 20 to 25 in random fashion, not in a row or just scattered about. However, throw a hundred or so crocuses on the lawn and plant them where they land about 1-5 inches in.

• Cut all those perennials down now and compost but leave the ferns till February and cut back just as the ‘fiddleheads’ are emerging. Do the same with ornamental grasses as some have great winter appeal.

• Dahlias should have been dug up, sorted, and put away in a cool dark place.

• If you like foxglove, give them a final shake to disperse the seeds. Echinacea too, but the birds love to feed on them.

• Clean up the beds and mulch shrubs with a good compost you have perhaps made over the summer months.

• Take geranium (pelargonium) cuttings! Remove strong stems, remove lower leaves, cut just below a leaf node, not too long, about 3 inches or so. Some gardeners dip in water with a bit of vitamin C (1 cup water to 1 teaspoon of powered vitamin C) and then place in a sterilized soil mix, just dampened. Set in a bright window and don’t cover. Not all of them will survive but it is so gratifying to see them sprout roots!

• Early December is the time to lime your lawns with dolomite lime. Dolomite takes longer to break down in the process of correcting the ‘ph’ value of the soil. Sprinkle a little around the base of some of your lime lovers, like lilac.

• If the ground is not frozen, this is a great time to divide and replant your perennials.

• Check your stored dahlia tubers and discard any that look infected. Store in a cool dark place with a bit of dry soil or straw.

• You can lightly prune hollies for Christmas wreaths and such.

• This is a good time too for installing new trees and shrubs, if the weather permits, as there is less stress to the plant giving it time to adjust.

• Your hellebores are preparing to bloom! Trim back a few of the leaves, if not all, to show off the blossoms as they lie hidden.

• Rake up and destroy any fallen rose leaves to prevent onset of disease in spring.

• If frost is imminent, protect the crowns of some of the more tender plants with more mulch.

• Take the opportunity now to clean, disinfect and sharpen tools. Have your lawn mower serviced now.

• What a great time to have your garden lit up at night. Up lit Japanese and birch trees are gorgeous!

DECEMBER - Winter solstice is closing in and the garden is at rest (sort of). It is time for the two Ps: protect and prepare.

It’s still movies and dancing but is it the same?

t’s November. Hallowe’en with its ghoulies and ghosties, though no long-legged beasties, is past as are the days of just going house to house trick-or-treating. Now the big shopping centres offer treats to visiting kids and the sales clerks dress up. And little ones are always accompanied by parents.

So what else has changed?

Well, here’s what’s the same: the ‘inauguration’ of the new high school students fresh from elementary school continues. Joining inter-high teams and boarding the school bus to go to a rugby or soccer game in far-off Burnaby, or even Port Coquitlam. Looking at the record of your school over the years and dreaming of the finals in the spring when your year might be posted on the list in the school foyer.

I remember going to my first school dance: a lineup of shy girls and sometimes even shyer boys trying to get up the courage to ask that special girl for a dance. And the girls all waiting for Lady’s Choice! And, if you were lucky, some practice in Phys Ed. Do you remember the Rock and Roll, Swing, the Twist, the Hustle? And there always seemed to be one boy who knew how to waltz and everyone wondered where he had learned this.

And then, finally being old enough to

go to the movies on Friday night with your friends at the old Odeon, right in West Vancouver. If you had an older brother or sister, they might have shown you how to see the second show of the double feature - usually only for adults. You simply hid out in the washroom until the feature started, then very quietly slid into the back of theater. Movies will soon be on the agenda in West Vancouver again with the new theater at Park Royal.

But I wonder if it will be the same.
