Propane torches used

by rooftop renovators

caused a fire at a

commercial block in

Edgemont Village on

Monday night, resulting

in water damage to two

businesses.

Curtis Bremner,

assistant fire chief with

the District of North

Vancouver, said roofers

had been hired by the

property manager to

prevent roof leaks and

used propane torches in

the process.

“You use a propane

fire torch to heat up

the roofing material

so it bonds effectively

to the other material

and creates the water

proof membrane,” said

Bremner.

“So when you apply

heat at an old building,

and you’re not carefully

watching it for a period

of time, this sort of thing

may happen.”

The fire affected

businesses in the 3107

to 3109 Edgemont

Boulevard, including

Capilano Barber and

The re-development

of the Lynn Valley

mall — which initially

seemed fated for a long

and contentious debate

— barely made a ripple

on its way through first

reading at a District of

North Vancouver council

meeting Monday evening.

If the project is

successful, the Zellers

building at Lynn Valley

Mall will be demolished to

make room for six towers

between four and 12

storeys.

The 4.8 acre

development proposal

includes 377 apartments

and 22 townhouses.The

height of the buildings

ranges from 55 to 150 feet.

Four of the towers will sit

on a one-storey commercial

component that will add

50,000 square feet of new

commercial space to the

neighbourhood.

Besides the Zellers, the

project would also swallow

up the former District of

North Vancouver library.

Meats.

The fire was spotted

at around 6 p.m. Monday

evening.

“The fire started near

the base of the parapet

wall and progressed up

the parapet wall for about

20 feet on either side,”

said Bremner.

“So there’s significant

damage to that structure.”

The firefighters opened

up the roof and a few of

the parapet’s walls and

extinguished the fire

quickly, said Bremner.

However, in the process

of extinguishing the fire

and checking to see if the

fire had spread elsewhere,

Bremner said some

minor water and foam

damage had occurred to

businesses below.

Bremner said that

the age of the building

contributed to the spread

of the fire and warned

that workers need to be

more cautious around

older structures.

“When you’re using

heat around an old

structure, extra care

must be taken to prevent

fire. It’s a very old, very

dry building, and you’re

applying a flame to it

as part of your repair

process,” said Bremner.

“So don’t leave the site

until you’re absolutely

certain that there is no

fire.”

A non-profit society will

likely end up operating six

units of affordable housing

in the project.

The package also

includes a developer

contribution to the

municipality including $1.6

million for transportation

improvements, $500,000

for public art, and trail

improvements, with a total

value of $4.5 million.

Council previously

approved a maximum

height of 12 storeys, but

may not have taken into

account that a commercial

storey is roughly 10 feet

taller than a residential

storey, noted Coun. Lisa

Muri.

Council should cap the

height at 12 storeys or 130

feet, according to frequent

council watcher Hazen

Colbert.

One resident produced a

petition with the signatures

of 1,500 residents in

support for the project.

For those who see

the derelict Zellers as

a concrete eyesore, the

project is very good news.

“I’ll be very glad to

see this redevelopment go

ahead,” said John Gilmore.

The project also

received a boost from

David Hewitson, who

manages a store in the

mall.

“I can unequivocally say

at least 85 to 90 per cent of

everybody that comes by

are 150 per cent in favour

of this,” he said.

The mall is in dire

need of the development,

according to Hewitson.

“It’s like a morgue in

there lately,” he said.

The entire project would

have a Floor Space Ratio of

2.36, which measures the

development’s total floor

space against the area of

the lot.

Richard Hancock,

who opposed a large

development in the City of

North Vancouver, lauded

Bosa for submitting a

project that falls well below

the district’s maximum

allowable floor space ratio

of 3.5 for the area.

Hancock also noted

Bosa’s “pristine reputation”

for quality projects.

The project’s

commercial element

may be very successful,

exceeding the popularity of

Zellers, suggested Coun.

Doug MacKay-Dunn.That

popularity means district

staff may need to revisit

traffic projections, he said.

MacKay-Dunn has

previously noted that

Lynn Valley residents are

tired of worsening traffic

congestions caused by

development.

A public hearing on the

project is set for April 15.

Coun. Mike Little did

not attend the meeting.

The Supreme Court of

Canada has sided with a

NorthVancouver weapons

dealer in declaring

part of the federal

government’s tough-

on-crime legislation

unconstitutional.

The case concerned

whether taking away the

chance for early parole for

people who have already

been sentenced violated

their rights by subjecting

them to double jeopardy or

extra punishment.

In a ruling handed down

last week, a panel of justices

from Canada’s top court

ruled that the legislation

amounted to an added

penalty.

The Supreme Court

upheld two lower court

rulings that found

retroactively taking away

the right to early parole

amounted to punishing

offenders “again” for their

crimes by lengthening the

time they faced behind bars.

The challenge to the

Conservative law was

launched by Christopher

including one that

happened on the North

After a lengthy

investigation spanning four

of the Lower Mainland’s

RCMP jurisdictions, Novid

Dadman, 28, of Richmond

is facing a 11 charges

including sexual assault,

breaking and entering,

theft and fraud dating back

to 2008.

Police say Dadmand

would befriend his victims

on social media posing

as modelling agent and

then convince them to

meet for a photo shoot in

exchange for money or

gifts. Dadmand would then

use the ruse to assault and/

or steal from his victims,

police allege. Investigators

caught up with him after

several similar reports

came in from Richmond,

Burnaby, Surrey, and

North Vancouver in

October 2013, according to

court documents.

Police note Dadmand

also went by the alias

None of the charges

against Dadmand have

been proven in court.

Sleddog Louie returns home

[email protected]

After spending nine nights

running feral in the North

Shore backcountry and

prompting a herculean

search effort, a former

Whistler sled dog is back

home with his owners in

NorthVancouver.

Louie, a lab-husky

mix, slipped his collar and

bolted in Princess Park on

March 13. After long hours

searching and sleepless

nights spent listening

to Louie howl and bark

from the edge of Grouse

Mountain, owner Scott

Robarts found him Saturday

morning.

“We got him,” Robarts

said on Monday, “The

vet said he’s fine. He’s got

some chafing on his legs

but otherwise he’s good.

He lost about 10 pounds

but I would say he’s not as

emaciated as we thought he

would be.”

Dozens of volunteers

came out to help find Louie

over the nine days he was

missing and social media

alerts about him spread

into the thousands. Beyond

the volunteer dog trackers

and North Shore Rescue

members who came out to

search, Robarts also enlisted

the help of Jaime Hargreaves

Louie’s former owner, who

came down fromWhistler,

bringing Louie’s former

sled dog team with her and

a favourite stew, hoping the

familiar smells would draw

him out of hiding. Robarts

put Louie’s crate off trail

near the Grouse Grind

on Friday night and was

preparing to bait a live trap

on Saturday morning.When

he arrived with the bait,

there was Louie, having a

rest in his kennel.

Robarts fought the urge

to dash over to him, knowing

that Louie had gone feral.

“I just wanted to rush

over there and put his collar

on and rush him home

but I dragged it out for

probably about 30 minutes,

this process of approaching

him because I didn’t want

to frighten him off.What

was going through my head

was ‘OK, I can’t screw this

up’,” he said. “He’s probably

slippery as an eel if he wants

to be and if I scare him, he’ll

bolt and then we’re back at

square one.”

Robarts has come away

from the experience with

an even warmer view of his

North Shore neighbours.

“A whole bunch of

people from the community

that we didn’t even know

before helped with this. One

of the amazing lessons that

we’ll take away from this is

what kind of community

we live in. People cared so

much.”

To those who might lose

their dog in the backcountry,

Robarts has some advice:

“If your dog runs off and

you start to worry about it,

it’s important to stay calm

because the dogs sense that.”

Dear Editor:In the North Shore News

on Sunday, March 2 there

were two letters, one from

a “long term resident” and

another from a resident who

has “enjoyed living in the

community of LynnValley

for the past 40 years.” Both

of these residents contend

that there will be traffic

problems with the proposed

development in LynnValley

because there are only two

ways in or out of LynnValley.

As a relatively new

resident I know of at least

four ways out of Lynn

Valley (Mountain Highway

south or north, 29th Street

and LynnValley south

to Highway 1).Whether

one supports low rise

development, highrise or

no development I think it

is important for people to

make their decisions based

on accurate information.

If you do not want any

highrises in LynnValley

just state your opinion, but

please support your views

with information which is

correct.

Barbara DodimeadNorthVancouver

Support views on LynnValley density with accurate information

Gold-rush mentality afflicts NV developersDear Editor:

I write this letter as a

concerned resident of the

North Shore.

The North Shore

appears to be experiencing

a Klondike-style “gold

rush.”

It’s bonanza time for

developers and realtors!

In their frenzy to clone

Metrotown, they stalk our

neighbourhoods, preying

on older and “surplus”

properties, many of which

could be sympathetically

restored rather than

demolished to make way

for newer, trendier, denser

developments.

The scale of this

expansion is destroying

our heritage and changing

the character of local

communities forever.

Watch out, Lynn Valley

and Edgemont Village!

And what is the cost

to those of us who call

the North Shore home?

What is the cost to the

environment? To the air we

breathe? To our wildlife?

And to our health — and

sanity?

Too much of a good

thing is bad for us — it’s

a well-known fact — and

this applies to development

and densification, which

are spiralling out of

control.

I also wonder how

disaster proof these towers

will turn out to be when

tested for real — in an

earthquake or fire, for

example.

It really is time to focus

on the infrastructure

(e.g. hospitals, transit,

roads, law enforcement,

shopping) needed to

support this accelerated

growth.This issue has been

raised repeatedly — and

repeatedly sidestepped or

trivialized.

Our councils must

take the lead and work

with our provincial and

federal governments to

raise awareness of the

problems and to tackle

them sensitively and

expeditiously. Scrap the

official community plans

and replace them with

action plans.

Council assets are

shrinking, rezoning

applications are growing

— and our patience

is running out. Our

municipalities, struggling

to balance revenue

and expenditure, allow

themselves to be seduced

by the “incentives” offered

by developers.Who are the

winners and who are the

losers?

There are plenty of

viable opportunities for

developers elsewhere.

Before they move on,

perhaps they could express

their gratitude to the

community by collectively

funding a new state-of-the-

art hospital?

Maybe it will find a cure

for obsessive compulsive

development disorder.

Irene NevillNorth Vancouver

In the wake of the damning audit of the

Portland Hotel Society, there’s been

a feeding frenzy condemning former

directors and managers for their excess.

And there is certainly much to

condemn, including an almost complete

lack of accountability and a fingers-in-the-

cookie-jar approach to self-reward that

is shocking in an organization that exists

significantly off public funding.

Questionable expenses included

$69,00 in high-end restaurant bills, trips

to Hawaii and Disneyland, a cruise down

the Danube, spa treatments and booze

purchases.The society also seemingly set

up their books to defy any meaningful

oversight.

The scorn and outrage justifiably

aimed at the society has been palpable.

It’s not that there have never been bigger

fish guilty of worse offences at the public

trough. But as an organization supposedly

devoted to the poor, this society was

supposed to be better than that.

Instead, they came to see themselves as

entitled.

Their actions have resulted in a huge

sense of betrayal.

While the sins of the wicked pierce our

side, the sins of the righteous pierce our

heart.

One of the saddest fallouts of the sorry

affair is it has given plenty of ammunition

for those who would love to cut public

funding for similar endeavours, regardless

of the good they do.

It will have a real and negative impact

on the most vulnerable people the society

was supposed to help — perhaps for years

to come. For that, those associated with

this sordid affair have only themselves to

blame.

Brent Richter

Is it Lower Lonsdale? Or

LoLo?

Every time we print

LoLo in a story or

headline, we get an

irritated response from

readers asking that we stop

pushing the term. It is

childish, derivative, and it

sounds like a “candy bar,

or perhaps a “saloon girl

in a cheap cowboy movie,”

according to some recent

letters and social media

responses.

The debate over what’s

in a name comes as the

area is going through

some big changes.There’s

no doubt that LoLo was

part of the brand for the

area as envisioned by the

City of North Vancouver’s

consultant Roger Brooks.

Beyond an outdoor

skating rink, ferris wheel

and concert stage on the

waterfront, Brooks’ vision

complete with signage and

T-shirts for sale in local

shops. I’m sure that was

focus-grouped out the

wazoo, but I didn’t find

heaps of love for LoLo

when I went looking.

A couple of quick and

very informal polls on

social media in recent

weeks have drawn a largely

negative response.

But there is a cadre

of people who embrace

LoLo because it is fun,

interesting, even hilarious,

and people opposed are

stuffy or curmudgeonly,

they’ve said.

I’ve seen it argued

that LoLo is no good

because, for North

Vancouver’s growing

Filipino community, it

is the Tagalog word for

grandfather. I asked Alvin

Koh Relleve, president

of the Filipino North

Vancouver Barangay, if

his community members

would mind.

“Not really, but it

doesn’t sound good,” he

said.

The earliest use of LoLo

I could find in our archives

dates back to 2005 when

the youth centre at John

Braithwaite Community

Centre was dubbed the

LoLo Lounge.

Also in my research:

the neighbourhood has a

regent, if only an unofficial

one. Cath-Anne Ambrose

has been nicknamed the

Queen of LoLo since

she was the curator of a

photography show at the

Café for Contemporary Art

called Lovin’ LoLo.

“I asked people to submit

photos about what they

loved about living in the

neighbourhood. I had over

100 submissions and we

did a show with the North

Shore Heritage Society. It

just kind of stuck as a

nickname because I always

say I live my life in a three-

block radius,” Ambrose

said.

If you search the area on

Google Maps, you’ll find

the alley linking Lonsdale

with St. Georges between

First and Esplanade is

labeled Lolo Lane.That

followed a community-led

initiative to liven up the

alley and better integrate it

into the rest of the public

space.

One person watching

this identity crisis play

out with interest is

Scott McArthur, owner

of Raglan’s in Lower

Lonsdale, member of

the waterfront visioning

committee and the man

who first coined the term.

More than just the

blocks surrounding

Lonsdale below, say, Keith

Road (though it most

certainly is that), LoLo

is a brand that McArthur

has been cultivating for

years. Since it opened in

1999, Raglan’s has themed

itself around surf culture

and the term LoLo started

turning up on restaurant’s

chalkboard in the mid-

2000s. In Hawaii, LoLo

is a colloquial expression

for crazy. In Southern

California, a LoLo is slang

for a Chevy El Camino, a

vehicle long-associated with

surf culture. McArthur also

founded a group of like-

minded surf/skate culture

friends who gather for

monthly rides on lowrider

bicycles.You’ll never guess

what they’re called.

Now McArthur

finds himself in an

awkward dilemma: He

can either protect the

brand he developed and

trademarked, like so many

big corporations do, or

he can let it go, much like

an artist must let go of

a masterpiece to let the

world make of it what it

will.

In all likelihood,

McArthur said he will

probably try to find a

middle path with an aim to

making “LoLo” a unifying

force in the burgeoning

neighbourhood, not a

divisive one.

I’m sorry I can’t make

a ruling on whether LoLo

ought, or ought not be.

It looks like it’s been

happening at a grassroots

level for some time. In

truth, we’ll probably

continue using it for a

much more pragmatic

reason that has nothing to

with identity or branding.

A headline typically holds

only 30 or 40 characters

and LoLo is a lifesaver on

deadline.

Only time will tell

whether it will catch on.

If that doesn’t work, one

Twitter user had another

suggestion: South North

Van. Hard to argue with

that.

Retroactive changes unconstitutionalJohnWhaling, a North

Vancouver man, who was

jailed after being convicted

of three gun offences.

Whaling, who used to be

a verifier for the Canadian

Firearms Registry, was

nabbed five years ago as

part of a police investigation

into a large-scale gun-

trafficking ring in the Lower

Mainland.

When police searched

Whaling’s NorthVancouver

home on East Keith

Road under warrant, they

found a large quantity

of unregistered firearms,

including two 45-calibre

handguns —one of which

was loaded — and a MAC-

10 automatic pistol, as well

as machine guns in various

stages of completion.

He also had a gun

similar to an AK-47 that

he had converted into a

fully automatic weapon

and stashed in a box in the

woods near Squamish.

In September 2010,

Whaling was sentenced to

four and a half years in jail.

Because he was a

first-time federal offender

serving a sentence for non-

violent offences,Whaling

was entitled to apply for

accelerated day parole,

which allows offenders to be

released on parole after just

one-sixth of their sentence.

But when the federal

government’s new law

abolishing accelerated

parole came into effect, in

March of 2011,Whaling

got a letter saying he was

no longer eligible for the

program.

According to the

Supreme Court of Canada

decision, the change to the

law essentially extended

Whaling’s time in jail by

three months.

Two other inmates, who

also challenged the law,

had their time behind bars

extended by nine and 21

months respectively.

In May 2013, a panel

of B.C. Court of Appeal

justices rejected a bid by

Whaling to overturn his

conviction on three weapons

offences.They agreed with

the original trial judge

that the convictions were

based on “a substantial

body of evidence” and that

Whaling’s version of events

simply wasn’t credible. Last

month, the B.C. appeal

court also rejectedWhaling’s

appeal of his sentence.

RCMPwarn of tax time scamThe RCMP are warning

residents of the North

Shore that phone

scammers posing as

tax collectors from the

RCMP are trying to dupe

residents out of their

money.

Police put out the

warning after several

North Vancouver residents

reported they had received

“suspicious” phone calls

from someone claiming to

be an RCMP officer. The

caller told residents that

thousands of dollars in

back taxes are owed, then

gave them an opportunity

to pay as much as they

could immediately to avoid

legal proceedings.

RCMP spokesman Cpl.

Richard De Jong said the

RCMP do not represent

Revenue Canada as tax

collectors. De Jong said

never give out information

to people you don’t know.

Protesters oppose pipeline planFirst Nations, environmentalists

join for ‘Wall ofWomen’ event

[email protected]

Protesters gathered

in West Vancouver

Saturday to take a stance

on Kinder Morgan’s

proposed expansion

of its Trans Mountain

pipeline.

Around 15 women,

including representatives

from the Tsleil-Waututh,

Squamish and Musqueam

First Nations, as well as

Greenpeace campaigners,

gathered for an event

dubbed the “Wall of

Women” in the cold and

rain by The Welcome

Figure at Ambleside

Beach to send a message

to Kinder Morgan that a

pipeline expansion was not

welcome.

Mandy Nahanee —

who also goes by the First

Nations name Shanentsut

— a climate and energy

outreach campaigner for

Greenpeace and organizer

of the event, said it was

an opportunity to bring

women together and

strengthen their voices.

“We’re standing here

together to link arms to

build the wall of women

to say no, we do not want

that in our communities,

we will not accept this in

our communities, we want

better,” said Nahanee.

“Canada has a

responsibility to protect

their communities, we

have the right to live in

healthy environments—

healthy environments to

raise our children, to take

care of our grandparents,

to drink healthy water, to

eat healthy food. It’s basic

human rights.”

Kinder Morgan has

applied to the National

Energy Board to expand

its pipeline from its

current 300,000 barrels of

diluted bitumen per day to

890,000 barrels, increasing

tanker traffic in Burrard

Inlet from five tankers to

around 34 tankers each

month.

Tantoo Cardinal, who

co-starred with Kevin

Costner in Dances with

Wolves, was also present

for the protest. Cardinal

said she has a lot of

respect for the indigenous

people on the West Coast

doing their best to protect

the water and marine life.

Cardinal said it’s

important to draw

attention to what could be

threatened by the pipeline

expansion.

Cardinal said people

take clean water for

granted and so much of it

is being destroyed.

“It’s part of life force,

it’s a part of our life force

and it’s a part of our

planet’s life force,” she

said. “It’s so important

to us, it’s got to be that

important to her.”

Melina Laboucan-

Massimo, a climate and

energy campaigner for

Greenpeace, said her

family comes from one of

the regions impacted by

the tar sands in Northern

Alberta.

She said spills, whether

by tanker or along the

pipeline route, are “a very

clear and present danger.”

“If we continue down

this path towards resource

extraction, we’re kind of

digging ourselves further

into this hole, which

is extreme fossil fuel

development as opposed

to going towards more

renewable energy sources

(and) providing green

jobs,” said Laboucan-

Massimo. “People have a

very intimate relationship

to the coast, especially

First Nations people

who have lived here for

thousands of years.”

Laboucan-Massimo

said she has travelled

along the routes of various

pipelines and spoken to

groups about the dangers

they can pose.

“It’s what we’re already

experiencing in Alberta

and we don’t want that to

happen to communities

here,” she said.

Kinder Morgan

submitted an application

for the expansion to the

National Energy Board of

Canada on Dec. 16, 2013.

If approved, construction

on the new pipeline could

start as early as 2016 and

be fully operational by

2017.

All three North Shore

municipalities have

raised concerns about the

possible environmental

impacts of the expansion.

Top 5 tech spring cleaning tipsSpring break means trips

for families.

It also means spring

cleaning.

The same applies to the

tech gadgets and services

in your life.They need as

much care and maintenance

as any of the other tools in

your life if you want them to

work safely and efficiently.

So make time to wipe off

winter’s digital grime and get

your household ready with

five tech spring cleaning tips.

1) Clean up yourpasswords: Passwords,

whether for email accounts,

online stores like Amazon

or even PIN codes for

smartphones, are like door

locks on your home, except

that gangs of thieves are

going around with a huge

set of keys trying to see

which key might fit into your

home’s lock.That means

it’s important to change

your passwords on a regular

basis, at least once every six

months. If you can spend an

afternoon washing the deck,

you can take an hour and

update all your passwords.

Do not use the same

password for all of your

accounts.That’s like having

the same key for your

house, storage shed, cottage,

mailbox, all of your cars

and bike locks. Do not use,

as many people apparently

still do, obvious choices like

PASSWORD or 12345678.

That’s worse than keeping

your household door open

with a neon sign outside

saying “ROB ME.”

To make passwords

easier, use a password

manager like LastPass or

1Password to randomize

your passwords and store

them securely where the

thieves can’t get them.

2) Back up your stuff:Just as you might safely

store old photo albums and

family keepsakes in the attic,

you should make at least

one copy of the digital files

that form the core of family

memory in modern life.The

photo gallery on your laptop

from last year’s summer

holiday when Uncle Charlie

was still alive? Copy it to

an external drive. If your

laptop is stolen, destroyed

in a fire or simply goes dead

as a brick, those precious

memories will be lost forever.

At the very least, back

up your most important

files to a USB stick and

keep it somewhere safe.

Better still is to back up all

your important files to a

drive you store at the office

or in a safety deposit box.

Even better, in addition to

the physical drive, back up

your files to online storage

services like Google Drive

or Onedrive, or dedicated

paid backup services like

Carbonite.

3) Give your computeran oil change:Your car

needs maintenance in spring

to help it run smoothly for

the next six months. Same

with your tech devices.

Update the operating

systems of your computers,

tablets and phones and the

apps they run. Update the

security software. Modern

systems likeWindows 8 and

Android will update your

systems automatically by

default, but make sure you

haven’t turned that feature

off.

Updates help your

devices run better and

keep them safe. Last

month, Apple (yes, Apple)

announced all of its devices

had contained a horrifying

security hole for some

months. Apple has issued

updates to fix this hole: go

update your iPhone. Now.

4) Sweep up digitalclutter:You might have

taken 246 pictures of that

summer holiday with the late

Uncle Charlie, but chances

are you need a quarter of

those as keepsakes. And trust

me, you will never, ever look

at most of those pictures

again.

Take a morning this

spring break, grab a coffee

and go through your digital

photo galleries. Delete the

ones you don’t need.You’ll

free up valuable drive space,

make your home gallery

easier to use and make the

remaining pictures more

meaningful.

5) Recycle unusedgadgets:Tech devices are

some of the most offensive

consumer items around for

purposeful obsolescence, and

as consumers, we’re trained

to purchase the next shiny

gadget that comes along.

That means we’re steadily

acquiring a small closet of

perfectly good gadgets we

don’t use anymore.

Don’t keep them around

and don’t send them to

the landfill. Recycle them

through an appropriate

agency (see return-it.ca for

a list). If you’ve got unused

computers or computer

parts, donate them to

Free GeekVancouver

(freegeekvancouver.org), an

excellent non-profit which

recycles unused computers

and parts for people in need.

Everyone deserves a clean

spring.

TODDMAJORContributing writer

When it comes to

landscaping your home,

backyards are usually

given more attention than

the rest of the yard.

However, the traditional

role of the front yard is

changing as we grow to be

more sustainable and low-

maintenance and change is a

good thing in the garden.

The front yard provides

the first impression your

guests and community

members enjoy, or not, and

to that end, here are some

of the basic guidelines for

landscaping the front yard as

well as a few unusual ideas

to consider.

The basics: Firstly, make

the house visually appealing

to the public’s view while

complementing the home’s

design. Planting should

not overwhelm the house

and the house should not

overwhelm the landscape

— in other words, design for

balance.This is a difficult

task to achieve in an era

of overbearing monster

homes. Secondly, plant

trees to screen unwanted

outward views and to create

favourable inward views of

the home. Please do not

plant large-growing trees

under power lines.Thirdly,

for plantings against the

house, known as foundation

plantings, choose plants

that grow to a mature size

that will not exceed one-

third to half of the height

from the ground to the first

roof gutter.This will keep

plantings in proportion to

the house.

Fourthly, use less grass

and more planting beds

at a proportion of 70 per

cent bed and 30 per cent

lawn (preferably no lawn

but people still like grass

so we have to be realistic).

More planting beds will

provide greater visual

interest and more beds will

improve the proportional

balance between home

and landscape, making the

property look fuller, richer

and more balanced. Design

to create a clear view of

the front door so visitors

can find their way and feel

welcomed.

Creating curb appeal:Colour, texture and

proportional balance all

play a role in creating curb

appeal. If you’re selling

your home, adding some

annuals, fresh mulch and

trimming the lawn may be

all that is needed. But for

the long-term homeowner,

curb appeal is more than

cleanliness and splashes of

colour. Flowers are fleeting

but leaf texture provides a

continuous visual presence

so choose well-designed

plantings that are interesting

in more than one season to

create a sense of place year-

round. Choose shrubs that

have beautiful foliage year-

round, like rhododendron,

and trees that have

interesting bark in winter.

Strategically place annuals

and perennials to provide

colour from views inside the

house and for community

benefit.

When it comes to lawn,

well . . . lawn is so 1950s and

we are moving past it as a

medium for our landscaping

creativity. However, some

lawn can assist in acting as

the void space that sets off

the solid planting space.

The key is to find a balance

as previously mentioned.

Nothing creates better curb

appeal than a mulched

planting bed because mulch

is the canvas that unifies the

painting (landscaping).

Fit the house intothe landscape: Gordon

Hayward said, “Houses

should be in, rather than on

the landscape.” Hayward is

a landscape designer, writer

and lecturer fromVermont

and his quote aptly describes

the relationship between

home and the landscape.

In some cases landscapes

are allowed to overgrow the

home but more commonly

houses simply dominate the

landscape.

Finding balance

begins with proper plant

selection, meaning the

right plant for the right

place. Choose plants suited

for the conditions and

more importantly, choose

plants that will grow to a

mature size proportionally

appropriate for the scale of

the home and the planting

location.Trees are somewhat

exempt from that rule due

to their value in framing

the house. However, a

giant cedar tree right next

to the front door is going

to be problematic visually

and from a maintenance

standpoint. Alternately, a

small little crab apple tree

lost out in the lawn provides

no benefit to scale.

Ideas for free thinkers:Gardening today is about

individual expression,

sustainability and low-

maintenance. Many free

thinkers have pushed the

boundaries of what is

traditionally acceptable

for the front yard to create

beautiful and welcoming

spaces that include no

lawn boulevards, veggie

beds, artistic fences, water

gardens, rock gardens and

more. A few of us have

even eliminated all lawn

and replaced it with privacy

plantings that surround

patios for entertaining,

which can be especially

useful if you have a small

backyard but larger front

yard, or a backyard that is

heavily shaded and the front

yard is sunny and warm.

Rules are one thing but

As much as you would

like to deny it, you

probably have a drawer

in your kitchen filled with

everything.

Scissors, tape measure

and nails are just a few of

the items that we tend to

toss into a drawer in a hurry.

Inevitably, the next time we

go to retrieve the scissors

they are lost in the oblivion

of unorganized mess.

So what is the solution?

I’ve always found that

staying ahead of the mess

before it takes over your life

is the best way to manage

it. Let’s take that drawer

in the kitchen for instance.

Before you haphazardly toss

those scissors in, why not

have a designated spot for

them to go? Next time you

find yourself walking by a

dollar store, take the time

to actually go inside and

purchase four or five of the

inexpensive metal or plastic

drawer organizers. Estimate

what size container would

fit into your kitchen drawer.

Long, narrow ones are

great for rulers, pencils and

scissors.The shorter versions

are great for paper clips,

staples and tape measures.

The drawer will actually

function in an organized

manner once the items are

placed in their designated

containers.

The trick with storing

small items is to keep them

in containers.This rule

applies to small kitchen

items, such as tea bags, and

loose spices as well. Clear,

see-through containers are

the best for easy access.

Is your jewelry a mess?

Believe it or not a standard

tie rack doubles beautifully

as a jewelry organizer.

Eliminate those nasty jewelry

tangles by hanging your

necklaces and beads on the

little hooks. If you mount

the rack horizontally on the

inside of a closet you will

have easy access to it at all

times.

If your pot cupboard is a

mess you can organize it in

minutes by simply nesting

your bowls, pots and pans

inside each other.This will

not only make the pots

appear neat and tidy but will

free up useable space in your

cupboard. Attempt to group

things together rather than

spreading them separately

through the cupboard.

Store your best

dinnerware and cookware

in cupboards using paper

plates.The very thin,

inexpensive variety is

wonderful for stacking

between your plates and

pans.This will help prevent

any scratches over time.

Lastly, a little trick that

caterers use is to stack

your plates as high as six or

eight and then wrap them

all very tightly with some

clear plastic wrap.This will

not only lessen the risk of

scratches, but will also keep

the dust off the plates so you

won’t need to wash them

before your next function.

This works beautifully with

dishware that is only used

from time to time.

LOW LEVEL ROADPROJECT UPDATE

The Low Level Road Project now 55% complete, is slated for completion by the

end of 2014. We’re pleased to update you on recent and upcoming milestones:

• Spirit Trail – Work on the Spirit Trail from St.

Georges Avenue, through Moodyville Park, and over

East 3rd Street furthers the City of North Vancouver’s

vision to have a multi-use and fully accessible

greenway that will provide pedestrians, cyclists,

inline skaters and people with wheeled mobility aids,

access across the North Shore.

• Train Whistle Cessation – The St. Andrews

and St. Patricks at-grade crossings are now closed

to the public and as a result, have reduced the need

for CN Rail to whistle upon approach. Noise impacts

have been significantly reduced.

• Public Art – Art works embossed in concrete will be

installed on the Spirit Trail Overpass abutment and

along a portion of the Low Level Road retaining wall.

Learn More:

construction activities and traffic pattern changes,

PARENTING

KathyLynn

ParentingToday

Encourage kids toidentify strengthsHow well do you know

your children?

Each of our kids is

unique with their own

special talents and

sometimes we overlook

identifying their particular

strengths.

The better we know

them, the more we can

encourage them to take

part in activities in which

they will excel.The more

they excel the better they

are going to feel about

themselves. Success breeds

success.

I recall one time when

we were house hunting

and our pre-teen kids were

interested in the houses we

were visiting. At one point

we went into a house that

was empty of furniture.

As most of us are aware, it

can be more challenging

to imagine living in a room

that is currently empty. But

not for my daughter. She

commented that she prefers

to look at an empty room.

She explained when a room

contains furniture she has

to remove it all in her mind

and then furnish it with her

own belongings.

I was floored. I had

never realized she had such

a well-developed sense of

space. And I told her that

she was unique in this. She

was surprised as well. She

thought everyone saw the

world the same way she

does.

Thinking about our

children’s talents is an

interesting exercise.Think

about them emotionally,

physically, socially and

intellectually.You might be

surprised what occurs to

you.

Talk to others who

know your children.Their

caregivers, grandparents,

teachers or coaches will have

noticed traits you may not

have identified.

Simply paying attention

works well.We get so busy

with the day-to-day hustle

and bustle of simply getting

out of the house in the

morning and homework,

dinner and bedtime in the

evening, that we miss just

simply watching our kids.

If you want to identify your

kids’ talents, pay particular

attention to how they handle

different situations and what

choices they make.When

does he seem happiest?

When is he really focused

and engaged?

Then listen to him.

Take him out for lunch

and ask him what he thinks

he’s good at.What school

subjects does he love or

hate?What books does

he like best?Why?What

hobbies would he like to

pursue? Let him talk and

you simply listen. As he

talks he may find himself

discovering activities he

wishes he could pursue. Or

he may become aware of

strengths he didn’t know he

had.

Once you have identified

strengths in your child pay

attention and comment

when you see a particularly

unique behaviour.The

trick is to note the positive

qualities you have identified,

not those you wish he had.

When he was born you

had visions of Saturday

afternoons at the edge of the

soccer field watching your

son take the ball down the

field and into the net. But

after paying strict attention

to his choices and talking to

the other adults in his life,

you know that soccer is not

for him. His strength is in

creativity and he loves to

paint and draw.

Sit down with him and

help him identify times

when he can use his talent.

Would he like to take a

painting course? Maybe he

could approach the drama

class to see if they need set

designers.

If he is not used to seeing

himself as a creative person,

he may not see opportunities

to use his ability.

When you offer

suggestions, remember they

are just that. Let him demur

if he wishes. Give him time

to think about what he

wants to do. But do plant

some suggestions.

Focus on his creative

efforts. “Martin, the drawing

you did as part of your

last school project is really

interesting. It makes your

presentation much more

dynamic and alive.”

When you encourage

your kid’s strengths

you’re also accepting him

unconditionally for the

unique person he truly is.

The Dish

Stafftablesparks fondmemories

I arrived at Hachi Hana

Japanese Restaurant about

half an hour before closing

one recent evening.

A table near the back

of the small restaurant was

populated with kitchen and

service staff sharing a bite to

eat and a drink or two.

The scene reminded

me of my time working in

restaurants and the strong

camaraderie that develops

between co-workers

following the rigours of

meal service. I remember

these organic bonding

moments fondly and was

tempted to ask if I could

join the staff table just to

hear a few industry stories

and bask for a moment in

that dinner rush afterglow

experienced by restaurant

workers the world over. Of

course, I would have been

an interloper in that scene,

having done nothing to earn

my place at the table, so

instead I took a seat at the

sushi bar.

After considering the

menu for a few moments I

placed my dinner order with

my server, who was amicable

despite my relatively late

arrival. About three dishes

into my order, however, she

began to giggle with that sort

of infectious, involuntary

laughter that makes it

impossible to suppress a

grin of one’s own. She was

set off by the reaction of

the staff members at the

nearby table, who had been

listening to my meal choices

with growing incredulity.

The sushi chef behind the

bar, meanwhile, smirked

wryly and began to pack up

his knives. My dinner order,

you see, contained no sushi

items whatsoever, requiring

instead the attention of the

kitchen staff, which was

evidently seated around the

aforementioned table.

I relay this scene to

illustrate an observation,

namely that inVancouver

the term Japanese restaurant

has become virtually

synonymous with sushi.This

equation is not surprising,

really, given the high quality

of local seafood, widespread

concern over more sensible

food choices, and the

enduring stylishness of this

culinary method. It was

against considerable odds,

then, that I should have

chosen five non-sushi dishes

that evening at Hachi Hana,

calling the kitchen team back

to their stations.

Nevertheless, Japanese

cuisine is exceptionally

varied, covering a broad

spectrum of flavours and

ingredients. I have often

wondered, when eating sushi

in local restaurants that

boast Japanese cuisine, if

those items that fall outside

the category of sushi would

stand up on their own as

satisfying meal options or

if they serve an innately

supporting function, like

an orchestra that permits a

virtuoso soloist to shine.

With an investigative

spirit, I forfeited my habitual

sushi fix and began my meal

with AgedashiTofu, molten

hot, deep-fried squares of

spongy tofu served with

finely chopped scallion.The

tofu, which is dusted in flour

before frying in order to

achieve a crisp and golden

veneer, is served inTentsuyu,

a bronze liquid comprised

of soy sauce, dashi (broth

made from smoked tuna

scales), and mirin (rice

wine intended for cooking).

Typically, AgedashiTofu is

served in enough tentsuyu

to require a spoon, but

Hachi Hana’s version used

the liquid rather sparingly.

This approach preserved

the tofu’s crispiness while

adding just enough salt and

tang to enliven its subtle

flavour.This positive start to

the meal was encouraging

and helped to take my mind

off the pale pink, beautifully

marbled tuna belly sashimi

that my neighbour was

enjoying.

Next up was a generous

dish of Chicken Karage, a

popular appetizer of deep

fried, marinated chicken,

also in a light flour coating.

The morsels of chicken

retained a commendably

moist centre and were

fried at a high enough

temperature to avoid

the common trapping of

becoming grease laden, but

were, to my taste, under

seasoned.

Following the chicken

was a conservatively

portioned dish of Gomaae,

or quickly blanched spinach

in sesame sauce.The spinach

was deftly handled, retaining

some crunch in the stems,

although the application of

sauce was heavy handed,

burdening the delicate leaves

with a dense coating.

The mixed tempura that

followed was the star of the

meal, light and fresh.The

inclusion of a large ring of

onion was a nice treat and

paired particularly well with

an ice-cold glass of Kirin

beer. Prawns, yam, zucchini

and green beans rounded

out the mix. For my main

course, I opted for Seafood

Udon, comprised of thick

noodles with prawns, clams,

scallops, strips of octopus

and narutomaki (decorative

white and pink slices of

steamed, cured fish loaf)

served in hot dashi.Truth

be told, by this point in

the meal the sushi-centric

Vancouverite in me was

experiencing a powerful

urge for raw fish, making the

somewhat chewy textures

of the well-cooked octopus

and clams feel less than

completely satisfying.The

deep and concentrated,

subtly smoky dashi, however,

ultimately saved the dish

and ended the meal on a

relatively high note, though

I suspect on my next visit, I

will likely put sushi front and

centre once again.

TASTE

Mexicanmenumade easier

Tentsuyu sauce adds awelcome touch of tang to tofuFrom page 31

Mexican food is

something I don’t make

very often.

But the flavour

combinations in Mexican

cooking are delicious, so

I thought I should share

a couple of recipes with

you.They’re streamlined

to make them easy for a

home cook because bona

fide Mexican recipes are

right up there with Indian

cooking when it comes to

lengthy prep time (check

out a recipe for mole sauce

sometime, yikes). But I

think you’ll find that the

enchiladas and rice are

just as tasty as the “real

thing.” I’m not even going

to pretend the dessert is an

authentic Mexican recipe

(and I usually steer clear of

using refrigerated rolls) but

it tastes good.

SalsaVerde ChickenEnchiladas

1Tbsp olive oil

1Tbsp minced garlic

4 cups salsa verde

(available in the same

aisle as salsa)

1 cup sour cream

4 cups shredded cooked

chicken (either leftover

from a roast chicken or

purchase a rotisserie one)

1 cup shredded cheddar

or Monterey Jack cheese

½ cup chopped cilantro

12 six-inch flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 350º

F. Heat olive oil in a large

skillet over medium heat;

add the garlic and cook for

30 seconds. Add the salsa

verde and heat through.

Remove from heat and

stir in sour cream. Place

half a cup of the sauce at

the bottom of a greased

9x13-inch baking dish and

spread it out evenly. Reserve

a further two cups of the

sauce mixture for the top

of the enchiladas. Add the

chicken, half of the cheese

and half of the cilantro to

the remaining sauce and

stir to combine. Place about

three tablespoons of the

chicken mixture onto each

tortilla and roll the tortilla

up snugly; place filled

tortillas seam-side down in

the baking dish, side by side.

Spread the reserved sauce

over the rolled tortillas and

sprinkle reserved cheese

evenly over top. Bake for

about 20 minutes, until

enchiladas are heated

through and the cheese is

melted. Sprinkle remaining

cilantro over top and serve

immediately.Top with

a little more sour cream

and/or salsa verde if desired.

Makes six servings.

Mexican Rice

2 cups white basmati rice

2Tbsp olive oil

4 cups low-sodium

chicken broth

½ cup tomato sauce

2 Roma tomatoes,

chopped

1 small jalapeno pepper,

seeded and finely chopped

(use as much or as little as

you like)

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp each salt and freshly

ground black pepper

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

2Tbsp chopped cilantro

Heat the olive oil in a

large skillet (one that has

a lid) over medium heat;

add the rice and sauté for

a few minutes until the

rice becomes fragrant and

slightly opaque. Add the

onions and jalapeno and

cook for one minute; add

the garlic and cook for 30

seconds longer. Add the

cumin, salt and pepper

and stir to combine. Add

the tomato sauce, chopped

tomatoes and chicken broth

and stir well. Bring mixture

to a boil. Reduce heat to

very low, cover and cook

for 10 minutes without

removing the lid. After 10

minutes add the peas evenly

over the top of the rice;

replace lid and continue

cooking until all liquid has

evaporated (total cooking

time should be about 20

minutes). Remove pan from

heat and let stand, covered,

for five minutes. Fluff rice

with a fork and gently stir

in cilantro. Makes eight

servings.

Mexican Cheesecake

Two 250-gram packages

cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cans refrigerated

crescent rolls

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

½ cup butter, softened

¼ cup liquid honey

Preheat oven to 350º F;

grease a 9x13-inch glass

baking dish.With a mixer,

beat the cream cheese, one

cup of sugar and vanilla

together until very creamy.

Unroll one of the cans

of crescent rolls. Press the

seams together and roll out

with a rolling pin to make

a rectangle approximately

9x13 inches.

Place dough into the

prepared baking dish and

spread the cream cheese

mixture evenly over top.

Open the other can of

crescent rolls and prepare

as you did the first one.

Place dough on top of the

cream cheese mixture. In

a small bowl, stir together

the three-quarters cup of

sugar, the cinnamon and the

butter; dot small pieces of

the mixture evenly over top

of the dough.

Bake until puffed and

golden brown, about 30

minutes. Remove from oven

and drizzle with the honey.

Let cool completely in the

pan, then cut into squares.

Makes 12 servings.

WestVancouver’s Georgia

Simmerling capped off

a strong finish to her ski

cross season Sunday,

winning bronze at the

World Cup finals held in

La Plagne, France.

It was the second

podium finish in a week for

the 25-year-old who also

won bronze at a World Cup

race held in Sweden March

16.

In Sunday’s World Cup

final Simmerling won her

first heat before finishing

second in both her

quarterfinal and semifinal

to make it to the final

four. In the medal race

Simmerling was last out

of the gate but managed

to reel the field back in,

passing Sweden’s Sandra

Naeslund on the final jump

to claim bronze by less

than a ski length.

“The conditions were

pretty difficult,” said

Simmerling in an interview

with the Federation

International de Ski

following the race. “It

was pretty windy, it was

snowing so the course

changed. But it was the

same for everyone —

bumpy and rough.That’s

ski cross and it was super

fun.”

The bronze medal

showing bumped

Simmerling into sixth

spot in the final overall

standings for the season.

Simmerling also shared

the podium with Canadian

teammate Marielle

Thompson who finished a

dream season with another

win.The victory at the

World Cup finals clinched

the Crystal Globe overall

season title for Thompson.

The Whistler native had

six podium finishes and

never placed worse than

fifth in 11 World Cup

races this season while also

earning gold at the Sochi

Olympics.

Simmerling now has

three career World Cup

podium finishes, including

a silver she won in Italy in

December of 2012.The

former Grouse Tyee Ski

Club member switched

from alpine skiing to ski

cross in 2011. She finished

14th at the 2014 Olympic

Winter Games in Sochi.

Two North Vancouver

hockey stars are suiting

up for Canada’s national

under-18 team at the

U18 Women’s World

Championships this week

in Budapest, Hungary.

Forwards Hannah

Miller and Brielle Bellerive

both have worked their

way onto the national

team while playing away

from home at Penticton’s

Okanagan Hockey

Academy. Miller is one of

two players who played for

the national team last year

when they took home gold

at the 2013 U18 World

Championships. She has

been named one of the

assistant captains for this

year’s team.

The team is off to a

fantastic start as they begin

their repeat bid. In their

opening game Sunday the

Canadians beat Japan 7-1

with Miller picking up a

goal.The results were even

better Monday as Canada

blanked Finland 7-0.

The Canadians will

finish up pool play

Wednesday with a

matchup against the

Czech Republic.The

quarterfinals are scheduled

for Thursday with the

semifinals Saturday and

final Sunday.

NorthVancouver’s Rachel

Jones and the rest of

Canada’s national women’s

team scored a huge 2-1 win

over Ghana Saturday to

advance to the quarterfinals

of the FIFA U-17Women’s

World Cup.

The Canadians looked

like they would cruise into

the playoffs after Marie

Levasseur scored a pair

of goals in the first half.

Trouble brewed, however,

just five minutes into the

second half when Bianca

St-Georges was shown a red

card, reducing the team to

10 players. Jones, a fullback,

subbed into the game for

the final 30 minutes to help

shorthanded Canada hold

off the attack. Ghana scored

once but could not get the

equalizer that would have

bounced Canada from the

tournament.

Canada scrapped their

way to a second-place finish

in the pool, notching ties

against Germany (2-2) and

North Korea (1-1) before

collecting the win over

Ghana. Ghana took top spot

in the group with their wins

over Germany and North

Korea.

Jones, a Sutherland Gr.

11 student and member

of theWhitecaps girls elite

team, came on as a second

half substitute in all three

of Canada’s opening round

games.

The team will now meet

Venezuela in a quarterfinal
