The B.C. Human RightsTribunal has rejected thecomplaint of a formerWestVancouver policeofcer who claimedthe force discriminatedagainst her, saying theformer ofcer led herdocuments too late.In her complaint, Cary

Ryan said she began toexperience mental illness in

June 2008, which resultedin her being ostracized,harassed and bullied untilshe eventually resignedfrom the department inOctober 2009.The tribunal typically

does not accept complaintsbased on incidents thathappened more than sixmonths in the past. Ryanled hers in March of thisyear, leading the policedepartments lawyerto request the le bedismissed. Rather than

weighing the merits of thecomplaint, the tribunal onlyconsidered whether to allowit to proceed so far beyondthe six-month time frame.In her submission to

the tribunal, Ryan saidshe waited so long to leher complaint because thepsychological impact ofthe alleged discriminationresulted in her being unableto come forward earlier.The departments

response noted Ryandid not make an internal

harassment complaint andthat a review of her ledetermined her allegationswere not substantiated. Itwent on to state that Ryanhas since pursued advancededucation and a new career,suggesting her mentalillness posed no barrier toling the complaint sooner.Individual witnesses arealso no longer with thedepartment, the police forcenoted.Ryan opted not to submit

a further reply.

In his decision to rejectthe complaint, tribunalchairman BerndWalterwrote the ve-and-a-halfyear delay in ling thecomplaint represents anextreme delay and weighsheavily against ndingacceptance of the complaintwould be in the publicinterest.Frankly, I am unaware

of any case in which thetribunal has accepted suchan extremely late ledcomplaint, he added.

Walter noted that Ryanprovided no medicalevidence of her disabilityor what treatment shereceived.Kash Heed was the

departments chiefconstable at the time.An internal report from2013 found morale in thedepartment was tankingin the years that followedand several ofcers cameforward with allegationsof bullying, sexism andharassment within the force.

FormerWV cops complaint dismissed

Seymour River this summer.For now the salmon are

holding tight at the mouth ofthe Seymour waiting for thewater to cool down from thecurrent 23 degrees Celsiusrange to around 15 C. Lowwater levels in the river arealso a deterrent for migratingsh.

A long-term solutionto save the Seymours shpopulation is being exploredthrough an engineeringassessment of the slidearea, being funded by ThePacic Salmon Foundation,the Habitat ConservationTrust Foundation and theFreshwater Fisheries Societyof B.C.

Habitat ConservationTrust Foundation CEOBrian Springinotic said theSeymour River is a highpriority because, Its a veryunusual river in that it hasboth winter and summer runsteelhead and thats quiteuncommon in B.C.

A good part of the graniteneeds to be removed to makethe river passable for shagain, said Hollingsworth.Residents living near theSeymour River and thestability of the canyon arealso to be considered beforeany work is done.

A less intrusive optionmight be to drill holes in therock and inject an expandinggrout that causes them tocrack into smaller pieces,said Hollingsworth.Anothersolution might be creating aseries of waterfalls or naturalladders that sh can leap.

Once the SalmonidSociety receives thereport it will have to beapproved by the District ofNorthVancouver,MetroVancouver, federal andprovincial agencies, and thelocal First Nations beforeany work is started.

Accuseddealers face claim

[email protected]

The NorthVancouvercouple accused in thebust of amassive fentanylring have pleaded notguilty to a host of drugsand weapons charges although the provinceis already seeking to claimtheir properties, cashand luxury items as theproceeds of crime.

Lawyers for KarenArmitstead andWalterMcCormick appeared in

courtThursday to enter notguilty pleas on their behalfand to elect to be tried by ajudge alone.

McCormick andArmitstead are facingmore than a dozen chargesincluding possession ofdrugs for the purpose oftrafcking, possessionof a restricted rearm,unauthorized possession ofa rearm, careless use andstorage of a rearm, andpossession of stolen propertyover $5,000.McCormickfaces separate charges of

trafcking a controlledsubstance.

Police raided their homeat 2681 Poplynn Dr. inFebruary as part of a region-wide bust targeting theLower Mainlands supply offentanyl. Police have beenwarning the public about thedangerous synthetic opioid,which is being blamed for atleast three recent overdosedeaths in NorthVancouver.The drug is typically mixedin with heroin or used tomake fake oxycodone.

Though they have yet tohave their criminal trial dateset, B.C.s director of civilforfeiture has led a claimgoing after ArmitsteadsLynnValley home as wellas a condo in Oliver and a3.4-acre waterfront property

on Gambier Island.Theclaim also lists more than$170,000 in cash, two luxurywatches valued at $48,000,a Ford truck and a leasedVolkswagen, as well as assetsowned by their four co-accused.

The civil claim refers toMcCormick as a high leveldrug trafcker with access tolarge quantities of fentanylpills who was, at allmaterial times, the supplierof fentanyl as well as otherillegal drugs

The Poplynn Drive homecontained numerous illegaldrug and cash stashes as wellas score sheets used torecord drug deals found ina garbage can and roughlynine kilograms of pot in thegarage, the claim alleges.

In her written responseto the forfeiture suit,Armitstead stated the homenever contained any drugs,guns or illegal cash and thatif there were any, they werehidden in places not readilydiscoverable by her.

All of the propertieswere purchased with legalincome,mortgages andinheritances, the responsecontinues.As a Lions GateHospital nurse since 1986,Armitstead had been earningapproximately $90,000per year. McCormick is aself-employed welder andironworker.

McCormicks lawyerJordan Allingham said heexpects to x a date for the

NorthVan couple face forfeituresuit over claim house was usedfor fentanyl trafcking ring

Parking space battle pittingresidents against each other

[email protected]

A parking spot war hasbroken out in a CentralLonsdale neighbourhood.

A handful of residentshave been staking claims topublic parking spaces ontheir street by placing conesto prevent other drivers fromstealing their spot.

Fernando Sanchez, wholives in the 300-block ofWest14th Street betweenMahonand Jones avenues, said thecones started appearing sixmonths ago when a newneighbour moved in. Soon,other households on theblock followed suit in whathas become a proliferationof reserved spots withbuckets and cones markingterritory, according toSanchez.

Ive been very, verypatient.And Ive beenparking far frommy house,he said.

The parking war escalatedwhen Sanchez parkedhis vehicle between theaforementioned neighbourscones two weeks ago, andreturned to nd an angrynote taped to his drivers sidewindow.

I have infant twins anda toddler and live on this

street. Because you movedmy cones in your selsh way,I cant park on my street andhaul three young kids 1 blocks to their house.Thanksso much you jerk.Think nexttime, read part of the note.

The City of NorthVancouver is aware of theparking cone controversyon the street and has sentbylaw ofcers on numerousoccasions to remove them.But Sanchez said once theyleave, the cones reappear.

My point is, why (have)bylaws and regulations ifyou dont enforce them? Ifguarding private spots on apublic street is allowed Ill go

and buy cones or paint somelines immediately.The factis, this is not allowed, saidSanchez.

The street is made up ofmostly single-family homes,however, Sanchez is part ofa strata of three houses thatshare garage space in theback lane.Many garageson the street are used forstorage or laneway housing,said Sanchez.Also only onehouse on the block has adriveway to park a vehicle.

Sanchez attributes theparking crunch to a couplefactors. Its the rst blockin the area where there areno parking restrictions,

so people doing businesson Lonsdale are using upthe spots, along with someconstruction workers.

The city said it isinvestigating to nd out whois responsible for the conesand will be addressing theproblem.

Sanchezs block has beenrecently approved to becomea Resident Exempt parkingzone. Under the changes,50 per cent of the block willhave a two-hour parkinglimit between 9 a.m. and 6p.m. Residents can purchasea $25 permit that allowsthem to park for up to 72hours.

ConeheadedmoveI f you thought that making suretheres still water through our taps,or deciding if a casino will be builtnext door were the most important issuesfacing local government, youd be wrong.Wrong because some of the most

passionate ghts in any communitycome down to this: parking.Theres something about the mix of

our love for the automobile and ourterritorial instincts buried not sodeeply in our reptile brains that hasthe ability to set off a restorm.Anyone whos received a

nasty windshield note about theappropriateness of their parking willunderstand the emotions at play here.Last years turf war over parking in

Deep Cove got so intense, a facilitatedsession of the type usually reservedfor the Greek nancial crisis had to

be called.Rarely is a parking ght solved

without someone getting miffed.Recently, a parking war has broken

out in a city neighbourhood, withresidents placing cones in front of theirhouses in an attempt to reserve spots.Apparently some people think that

when they buy a house they also buy thestreet and the sidewalk in front of it.But it just isnt so.So once again, local government is

looking at the issue.We hope sanerheads will prevail over cone-headedmoves.Yes, walking a few blocks can be

annoying but it wont result in seriousharm.These are FirstWorld problems,

and not worth a nasty ght in the biggerscheme of things.

North Shore News

@NorthShoreNews

Dear Editor:On June 21 your newspaper published an

article about the closure of the NorthVancouverWorksafeBC ofce. I want to clarify some ofthe information given to you byWorkSafeBC.WorkSafeBC has had a North Shore ofce forthe past 17 years.They have been located out ofthe Esplanade location for nine years, but on theNorth Shore much longer.

This ofce currently services workers andemployers on the waterfront, the Sea to Skycorridor, Sunshine Coast andWhistler; as wellasVancouver centre. On average, three to veworkers or employers come into the NorthVancouver ofce every day to seek service.Theseworkers and employers will now need to travela considerable distance and across at least one

bridge to get to the new ofce in theTri-Citiesarea. It is hard to imagine how those clients willsee this move as a seamless process.

Many of our members who live on the NorthShore are, understandably, upset.The move maynot result in any loss of employment, but theiremployment will be affected. Some have justrelocated to the area, only to be told the ofce isclosing. Some will have a long commute in front ofthem now, and will face work/life challenges. Buteven more than the impact on their personal life,union members are concerned about the impactthe move will have on their clients.They fear it willimpact customer service.Many case managersdo job site visits.Assessment ofcers meet withemployers at their location, and all staff meet withinjured workers and employers regularly in the

ofce. It is difcult to understand how the movewill result in better customer service for thoseindividuals.

WorkSafeBC didnt consult with theiremployees, their union, their employer groups ortheir injured worker community to discuss theimpacts of the move. Nor did they explore possiblealternatives like a work centre remaining in thearea to better service the local community.

I encourage your readers to contactWorkSafeand your local MLA to let them know you expectWorkSafeBC to maintain a presence on the NorthShore; to ensure injured workers, their familiesand employers get the customer service theyexpect.SandraWrightpresident, Compensation Employees Union

Re: Emotions Run Highin NestleWater Debate, July17.

Thank you for helpingme nd the middle road inthis water debate. I have seena few emotionally chargedpostings on Facebook on thesubject. So who really ownsthe water, and what shouldour position be on bottlingour water for resale? KeithBaldrey did an excellentjob of examining both sidesand helping the readerunderstand the heart of theissue. Its with a bit of irony Inotice people who only buybottled water are the mostoutspoken against bottlingour water for resale. Now Isee the contradictions andthe hypocrisy on both sidesof this debate.Thank you!Kathy StivinWestVancouver

Dear Editor:When did you last hug a Lions Gate

Hospital staff member, or for that matter anemployee of any other hospital?

I am remiss for it was a long time ago.However, all that has changed as I embrace theLGH staff after my recent knee replacement

operation.Within a week of returning home I was able

to negotiate all the rooms in my home withoutthe use of crutches or a walker.

My treatment I am in my 80th year speaks volumes to the talent and compassionof the plethora of staff involved. From the

sublime skills of Dr. Alan Baggoo to those whodextrously manoeuvred me in gurneys alongthe labyrinth of corridors, everyone strove togive his best.

Ladies and gentlemen of LGH, take a bow.Barrie StreetNorthVancouver

Staff of Lions Gate Hospital, take a bow,youre great


I was stuck in a trafcjam on Queens the otherday

You heard that right.A trafc jam.On Queens.I kid you not; it was

bumper-to-bumper fromthe Edgemont Boulevardfruit stand to the Delbrooktennis courts.Who were allthose people and why werethey clogging up my niceleafy neighbourhood streetwith their exhaust andwindow-rattling rap music?

Ive never seen anythinglike it, and come to thinkof it, Ive never seenanything like the trafc onthe Upper Levels at rushhour, especially headingeast in the evening, andIve never seen anythinglike the trafc on MarineDrive, any time of the day.

So, while I was in thetrafc jam on Queens Ihad plenty of time to thinkabout all this congestionand wonder what causes it.

If Im looking for help,there are as many theoriesas there are cars in front ofme waiting to turn left.

A lot of people thinkthat increased densityis the problem. NorthVancouver DistrictCouncillor Lisa Muri isso concerned about thedistricts recent enthusiasm

for density she wantsto put the brakes ondevelopment until weunderstand the impact ofall these people and theircars.

Of course, density isthe urban planning trenddu jour, offered as thesolution for all our woes.Density is more efcientthan suburban sprawl,which cuts into ourwondrous North Shorewilderness and comes withprohibitive infrastructurecosts more sewer andwater pipes, more roads,more bridges. And thatleads to higher taxes, andnobody wants to go there.

Density also holds outthe promise of affordablehousing.When the priceof a single-family three-bedroom house, white

picket fence included, isover a million bucks, itstime to build condos thatpeople can actually afford,sort of. (There are thosewho would argue thattwo-thirds of a millionbucks for 1,000 square feetis affordable in a paralleluniverse maybe. But Idigress.)

Finally, density is easier.These days, its almostimpossible to assemblethe land to build 100single-family dream units,where as you can build 100condos and get started onthe next 100 before youcan say rezone it!

The problem is thatdensity comes with itsown problem: morepeople. More people comewith more cars, and thecollective term for morecars is (wait for it) trafc.

Dont get me wrong.I buy into the idea thatdensity is good for us. Itseems ludicrous to eventhink about chewing upwhats left of the rainforest to build mini-estates for the notoriousmillion people who are allplanning to move here by2030. In fact, not only is itludicrous, its impossible.And even if the millionpeople go somewhereelse (real estates cheaper

in Calgary these days),single-family homes withlawns are environmentalatrocities.

Condo king Bob Renniesays he doubts anothersingle-family dwelling willever be built inVancouver apart from inll and

thats just as likely on theNorth Shore.

So, as I sat in my car onQueens, I saw the future ofNorthVancouver.

Im just a little worriedthat I might not get therebecause Ill be stuck intrafc.

Did anyone in North Vancouver reallybuy Stephen Harpers head-shaking claimhe triggered the longest election campaignsince 1872 to save taxpayers dollars?

Fact: Tens of millions more of your moneywill be spent on Mr. Harpers electionrather than on affordable housing,environmental protection or easing trafccongestion.

Quite apart from that slight to theintelligence of Canadians, Mr. Harperscampaign kick-off speech attempted toperpetuate a ction the Conservativesback-room spin factory has been shillingin its U.S.-style attack ads on JustinTrudeau.

Lets judge whether Mr. Trudeauis ready based on what he hasaccomplished as leader of the LiberalParty of Canada. Hes already achievedmuch - building an energized and cohesiveorganization. He has also been theprincipal architect of a robust, creative,thoughtful policy platform.

A leader of leadersHis is the kind of leadership that attractsother leaders to join him - - men andwomen who understand what its goingto take to get Canada back on track andare ready to govern.

People like:

Jody Wilson-Raybauld a formerB.C. Crown Prosecutor and RegionalChief of the B.C. Assembly of FirstNations

Pam Goldsmith Jones former Mayorof West Vancouver.

Ralph Goodale former Ministerof Finance

Harjit Sajjan a decorated veteran inthe Canadian Armed Forces who waspreviously a specialist in organizedcrime with the Vancouver PoliceDepartment

And there are many more.

These impressive people have assessedwhether Justin is ready and haveresponded with a commitment to devotetheir time and energy to working withhim as our leader to make Canada better.

Phony issueFinally, Mr. Harpers TV ads attack Mr.Trudeaus age. This is a phony issue.

Stephen Harper was 45 when he wasrst elected Prime Minister. JustinTrudeau is 43.

On Sunday, as Justin and I were waitingfor the Pride Parade to begin, twoof my 12 year old daughters friendsshyly approached him. His warmth ofcharacter and genuine interest in peoplewas in full display as he looked them inthe eye and talked with them as thoughthey were the only two in that crowd ofthousands.

Thats the kind of leader Canada needsat this important moment. Open.Transparent. Honest. Inclusive.

Make no mistake - Justin is ready. TheLiberal Party is ready. And Im ready toserve as your voice in Ottawa.

Jonathan Wilkinson is North VancouversLiberal candidate in the upcoming Federalelection. He is a Rhodes Scholar, former clean-tech CEO and North Shore soccer coach.

Justin is ready

and saw the artistsdepiction of the plannedgallery and museum.Are you kidding me?Theyre going to stickwhat amounts to a tenton a barge as a showpieceof our waterfront? If youwant inspiration for whatcould be done, look toanother port city, Oslo.Look at their new operahouse, a building that owsseamlessly to the water, a

beautiful building that allNorwegians can be proudof. How about a buildingthat shows a little art in itsdesign, maybe somethingthat incorporates astylized interpretationof a marine way slopinginto the water to remindus of our shipbuildingheritage anythingbut that monstrositycurrently proposed for ourwaterfront.Ross DohertyNorthVancouver

Bill Higginson:Business Basics forArtists, Ferry BuildingGallery, Sunday, Aug. 9at 3 p.m. as part of theHarmony Arts FestivalsArtspeaks series. Formore information visitharmonyarts.ca.

CHRIS [email protected]

When it comes to artistslooking to market theirworks, the online worldis where its at. At leastthats what professionalartist Bill Higginsonsays, who will be givinga talk on BusinessBasics for Artists atWest

Vancouvers HarmonyArts Festival thisweekend.

The Australian nativemoved toVancouver oversix years ago to furtherhis artistic career. It wasduring that time howeverthat Higginson foundhimself needing help onthe business side of things,which led him to eventuallyco-create the websiteDirect2Artist.com two yearsago, a site which providesonline showcases of bothhis own and other artistsworks available for sale. Itsa way of marketing he saysthat is becoming the futureof the art world.

Art is coming online

and it doesnt matterwhich way you look at it,its bound to happen,says Higginson on one ofthe main points he will beraising during his two-hourtalk.

The galleries are fadingto some degree and (artists)have to realize they have tostart looking at themselveslike they run a business.The basics are they haveto get online, they haveto send out newsletters,they have to do their socialmedia and it comes downto theres really no excusefor not doing it.

Todays shift to onlineeverything was one of thereasons Direct2Artist.com

was created in the rstplace as Higginson shiftedhis focus from artistictechniques to the sale ofworks themselves. He sayshes noticed a rising trendin recent years of more andmore artists trying to makea go of the sale of theirworks independently.

Even in the past 15years Ive already seena huge change. A lot ofindependent artists are kindof taking the reigns of theirown world and trying tomake a go of it themselves,he says, explaining thechallenges of both being anartist and trying to run thebusiness end of things.

No doubt it is like

running two businesses,you have to be a businessperson and an artist to dothat yourself, which is twojobs essentially.

Theres more tomarketing online thansimply slapping a workup and waiting for it tosell though, accordingto Higginson, who saysindependent artists needto take advantage ofeverything the web has tooffer.

Its not about postingan artwork online andhoping that its going tosell, its about using thecurrent network . . . and

Artspeaks event focuses on tapping into the online market

ofcers and Filipino crew.Ferrari was curious

about cargo ships when shegrew up, helping out at herfamilys factory in a townnearMilan, wondering whereall the containers came from.She worked for her familysbusiness near Shanghai in2008 and was interestedin retracing her steps andexpressing what she foundand experienced once shearrived in Shanghai, withsome detachment.

TheVancouver-basedartist says she typicallyworks to uncover disparitiesbetween historicaldocumentation andexperience in her practice.

She works with archivalfragments of text, image andvideography.

Ferrari expects shellcreate a short video or amixed-media installationwith sound recordings fromthe ship that considersthe contradictions betweengrowing up in an industrialcomplex and then spendingmost of her time thinkingabout art, the relationshipsbetween the two, and herprivilege.

Nour Bishouty set sailon her excursion Aug. 4.Phillips says the artist whowas born in Jordan and iscurrently based in Beirutis more object based. Shetypically distills her ideasinto things and often

explores a lack of belonging.Christopher Boyne,

who grew up aroundboats in Halifax and isan accomplished sailor,will board a cargo ship inSeptember. Boyne usesphotography and sculptureto consider how eetingexperience can be distilledthrough recall into form.

The thing hes mostexcited about is that momentwhere you see horizon onall sides, Phillips says. Theland falls away and theresliterally nothing except forsea and sky.

Amaara Raheem, a SriLankan-born artist who livesbetweenMelbourne andLondon,U.K.will sail westin April.

I hope this offers[the artists] an incrediblygenerative experience,a profoundly changingexperience and one thatallows them to look withinand dig into a place thatthey havent before, Phillipssays. I hope that this projectoffers all of the audiencesthat will view it a series ofreally beautiful nuancedand diverse responses to thisstrange experience that mostof us will never have, but, infact, that most of us are allimplicated with.
