WestVan faces property tax hikeJEREMY [email protected]

After 10 years on an ammo-free diet, West Vancouverfinally bit the bullet April 4.

Council voted for a 6.87 per cent tax hike at last week’sregular meeting of council, despite protests from Coun. BillSoprovich.

The owner of an average-priced home – approximately$2.378 million in West Vancouver – having to pay an extra

$242 this year is “astonishing,” according to Soprovich, whocast the only vote against the hike.

“Are we in fact pricing ourselves out of business here?”

Soprovich asked.The average property tax bill is projected to be $3,813 in

2016, with a similar increase pencilled in for next year.It’s time for West Vancouver to examine capital assets

and look to cut costs, according to Soprovich.“I look forward in that process to Coun. Soprovich

identifying what he wants to close,” Coun. Craig Cameronresponded.

For North Vancouverteacher Kristen Gill,geography has alwaysbeen about much morethan maps. It’s also aboutexploring, she says, aboutunderstanding other cul-tures and our place in thenatural world.

“If a child can have anunderstanding of how they fitinto the world and how thedecisions they make can havean impact, I think it’s reallyimportant,” she says.

Now Gill, a Grade 5 teacherat Montroyal elementary,has the chance of a lifetimeto make those lessons comealive after being chosen asone of only four teachers inCanada who will take part in aprofessional development tripled by National Geographicnext month.

District debates squatters’ cabinCOLUMNIST ELIZABETH JAMES: PAY PARKING DECISION POINTS TO LARGER ISSUE PAGE 8

BRENT [email protected]

The historic blue cabin – arelic from the Dollartonforeshore’s time as arefuge for squatters,waterfront industryworkers, artists and hip-pies – may be destinedto become a place for thearts yet again.

The blue cabin committee,an ad-hoc group working tosave the historic structure,is hoping to place the cabinon a barge, along with a smallhome, to act as a studio andresidence for artists.

The cabin was whereartists Al Neil and Carole Ittercomposed and created. Ithas been sitting at CanexusChemicals since it was movedoff the waterfront to make wayfor a Polygon condo develop-ment last year.

But before the historicbuilding can float on the inlet,the consortium of artistsattempting to save it are ask-ing the district to float themsome cash. The committee,led by Glenn Alteen, madeits pitch for $10,000 in seedmoney at council on Mondaynight.

Coun. Lisa Muri led theeffort at council to put up themoney from council’s contin-gency fund to do some basicremediation work in the nameof saving a piece of NorthVancouver history.

“It’s something that is dearto many people and in thistime of such great change inthe Lower Mainland, par-ticularly on the North Shorewhere we’re seeing somany

things torn down. ... it’s hardfor many of us to see suchchange. It’s certainly hardfor me. I don’t think I’ve everbeen very open to change,”she said. “It’s a small amountof money, council, to retaina very historical part of ourcommunity.”

Despite some initialconcerns, Coun. DougMacKay-Dunn also sided withpreserving history amid thetide of redevelopment.

“We risk forgetting ourpast. This blue cabin is a linkwith the unique history of ourcommunity and a contribu-tion,” he said.

Council was split, however.Coun. Robin Hicks spokeagainst giving the grant in aid

of a “dilapidated hut” whenthere are somanymore press-ing funding needs from thedistrict.

“I think $10,000 is not aninsignificant amount thatcould be used to help thehomeless or more charitableendeavours within the dis-trict,” he said.

The next item on coun-cil’s agenda, was a similaremergency funding request forthe North Shore CommunityResource Society’s communityhousing action committee,which passed unanimously.

Coun. Roger Bassam toowarned against “throwinggoodmoney after bad,” espe-cially given the condition ofthe cabin.

“Essentially the entireexo-structure is rotted on theperimeter on the bottom twofeet. The whole thing has to berebuilt,” he said.

There’s no way the cabincould be brought up to codein order to get an occupancypermit, he added, and thereare also no clear answers onhow it can receive heritageprotection while being placedon amovable barge.

“The heritage value is inthe esthetic, which probablycould be reproduced. Youmayactually findmuch better cul-tural value in recreating thisfrom new – a replica,” he said.

It’s true, big questionsremain, especially about logis-tics, legalities, feasibility and

governance over the cabin,according to Alteen, but thefundamentals of the projectremain strong, he added.

“The thing is structurallysound. There’s a lot of life leftin it,” he said. “Ten thousanddollars is not going to remedi-ate the cabin. But it is going tobuy us time to get that cabinup to snuff so it does livethrough the next 10 monthswhile we’re planning the proj-ect,” he said.

The vote to fund $10,000 inremediation work passed 5-2with only Hicks and Bassamopposed.

The one-year lease atCanexus Chemical is up inJune, with the option to renewthe lease for another one year.

Candidates in the threeNorth Shore ridings wereamong the biggest spend-ers in last fall’s federalelection, with candidatesin West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to SkyCountry topping the list ofbig spenders in B.C.

Information recentlyposted by Elections Canadarevealed the election battlein the riding with the longestname in the country also

involved very large amountsof cash.

Candidates collectivelyspent $506,286 on their11-week campaigns in theriding. Conservative candi-date JohnWeston spent themost - $199,351- only to losethe election. Winning Liberalcandidate Pam Goldsmith-Jones wasn’t far behind – hercampaign spent $177,992.Even the Green Party droppedsome serious coin on theelection in the riding, withcandidate Ken Melamed’scampaign spending $129,042.

NDP candidate LarryKoopman has not yet filedelection campaign expenses.Elections Canada has grantedextensions to a number ofcandidates.

The official cap on electionspending – determined sepa-rately for each riding basedmainly on population – wasover $241,000.

The numbers indicatethat money continues toplay a pivotal role in poli-tics, said Max Cameron, aprofessor of political scienceat the University of British

Columbia. “Without moneyyou don’t have access to themedia. ... If you can’t get yourcandidate’s face out there,you’re dead in the water.”

North Vancouver can-didates didn’t spend muchless – shelling out a collective$462,082 in their federal elec-tion campaigns.

Losing Conservative can-didate Andrew Saxton spentthe most at $153,108 whilewinning candidate LiberalJonathan Wilkinson spent justunder $150,000. Green candi-date Claire Martin also spent

a significant sum of $135,108,while NDP candidate CarleenThomas spent far less – onlyabout $21,414.

In the new riding of NorthBurnaby-Seymour, candidatescollectively spent $447,502to duke it out on the federalstage. There, the NDP’s CarolBaird Ellan was the biggestloser. Her campaign shelledout $151,832 in its unsuc-cessful bid for a federalseat. Liberal winner TerryBeech’s campaign spent$113,963. Green candidateLynne Quarmby’s campaign

spent $104,104 on her losingbid, while the campaign ofConservative candidate MikeLittle shelled out a compara-tively modest $77,490.

Newspaper ads, electionsigns and flyers were amongthe biggest expenses, aswere payments for campaignworkers. A number of thecandidates also paid for pro-fessional phone banks.

Cameron said the longerthan usual campaign likelycontributed to high spending,as did the hotly contestedbattles in a number of ridings.

A provincial court judgehas handed a nine-monthjail sentence to a mancaught in the act of steal-ing someone’s catalyticconverter.

Travis Aschert, 38, hadpleaded guilty to theft under$5,000, possession of prop-erty obtained by crime andresisting arrest.

In June and July of 2014,Aschert went on a spree,driving to the North Shorefrom Surrey and staking outToyota 4Runners. He wouldpark nearby and wait untilthe early morning hours toquickly crawl under the SUVand cut off its easily acces-sible catalytic converter.Scrap metal dealers areknown to pay up to $200 forstolen “cats” because of theprecious metals they haveinside.

Police arrested him at3 a.m. after tailing him forsome time and watching himemerge from under an SUVparked on Purcell Way.

According to the Crown,Aschert fenced 66 catalyticconverters in Abbotsford.

Victims of cat thefttypically have to pay a $500insurance deductible forreplacement, or up to $1,700if they are not insured.

Aschert’s lawyer hadargued for a conditionalsentence, on the groundsthat he had turned his lifearound while out on bail withno run-ins with the law sincehis arrest. He had returned to

Putting a price on thehuman spirit is impossible– putting a price on theSpirit Trail is only very,very difficult.

The cost of routingthe Spirit Trail throughMosquito Creek Marinaturned out to be more thandouble what the City ofNorth Vancouver expectedto pay, bringing the munici-pality’s tab from $2.8 millionto $5.9 million at a councilmeeting April 4.

The money will move thetrail from Bewicke Avenuethrough the SquamishNation’s marina.

The city’s initialappraisal failed to accountfor the amount of fill in thesoil, the complexity of theterrain and the cost of build-ing a pedestrian bridge overMosquito Creek, accordingto a staff report.

“This is evidence of get-ting ahead of ourselves,”said Coun. Pam Bookham,who cast the lone voteagainst supplying the extra$3.1 million for the trail –mainly due to where themoney came from.

The city rerouted $1.15million earmarked for theupcoming East Park &Tilford portion of the SpiritTrail and borrowed $1.95million from the Harry

Jerome fund.“We are being overly

ambitious,” Bookhamwarned. “Why do we have toinvolve Harry Jerome?”

The Harry Jeromerebuild fund stands at $11.5million. With the total costof rebuilding the rec centreexpected to eclipse $100million, there is no way thatmoney could be spent thisyear, said city staff. The cityplans to top up the HarryJerome fund in the fall2016 budget. Replacementfunding for the East Park &Tilford segment is sched-uled for 2017.

Bookham warned the citycould be caught off guardif emergency repairs areneeded at the antiquatedfitness centre.

The city’s financial foot-work is just common sense,

countered Coun. Holly Back.“If we borrow the money,we’re borrowing fromourselves.”

Connecting Harboursideto Lower Lonsdale is criticalto reduce pedestrian traf-fic on Third Street, addedCoun. Linda Buchanan.“When we’re looking at theamount of activity goingon in Harbourside, it justmakes sense to get thispiece through.”

Getting this piece throughhas been more difficult thanexpected. Plans for a trailconnection through the boat-lift area had to be kiboshedfor safety reasons when staffrealized the trail would haveto be opened and closedevery time a boater got in orout of the water.

An idea to have theSpirit Trail run parallel toCN Rail tracks was deemedunpalatable and a planto run the trail up ForbesAvenue, across Third Streetand down Bewicke was alsosquashed; partly because ofaccessibility concerns.

Once the Mosquito Creekpath is open to cyclists andstrollers, the city will be onesegment away from complet-ing its portion of the SpiritTrail, scheduled for 2017.

The finished trail isdesigned to wind 35 kilome-tres through the entire NorthShore, from Deep Cove toHorseshoe Bay.

800 educators who appliedto the Grosvenor TeacherFellow program, an annualprofessional developmentprogram run by a partner-ship of National GeographicEducation and LindbladExpeditions.

The program involves tak-ing teachers, historians andnaturalists – as well as otherpaying guests – on board theNational Geographic Explorericebreaker, one of two specialships that travel to some ofthe more remote areas of theplanet, including the Arctic,Iceland and Antarctica.

Gill’s all-expense paid tripwill involve exploring some ofthe more remote outer Britishand Irish Isles, includingsites of ancient Celtic villagesand archeological sites, theOuter Hebrides, Orkney andShetland islands.

Teachers are expected todevelop activities to take backto their classrooms and try to

foster geographic literacy andinterest with other educators.

Gill said being chosen togo on the trip by NationalGeographic is a huge honour.“It’s an organization I’ve heldin esteem for most of my life,”she said.

Getting kids to think abouttheir place in the wider worldis something Gill has beendoing for the 17 years she’sbeen teaching.

“The whole idea is to makelearning global. And realizingwhat you do here can effectpeople over there,” she says.

As an educator, Gill saysher goal is to encourage “kidswho are curious and adventur-ous and responsible for othersin the world.”

That’s especially impor-tant in the digital age, as kidsspend more time on electronicdevices, she says. “Just play-ing outside is something kidsare losing these days.”

Gill’s own passion forexploring has alreadytaken her on some global

adventures in her personallife – she has travelled toChina, Korea, India, Turkeyand Japan and counts a trip toMongolia among the high-lights so far.

When she shares stories ofthose trips with her students,“they’re just amazed.”

For her upcoming trip,Gill says she’s already pre-pared with a good cameraand “head-to-toe Gore-Tex.”Weather off the western andnorthern British Isles in Maycan vary from good to verybad, she says. “Last year theyregularly had 20-foot swells.”

Parts of the trip she’s mostlooking forward to includethose farthest off the beatentrack. “The more remote thebetter,” she says.

This Wednesday, Gillleaves for a four-day orienta-tion and training session inWashington, D.C., where she’llmeet other teachers involvedin the program.

Before she leaves for theBritish Isles next month, Gill

plans to put together a largedisplay about her journeyin the lobby of Montroyalelementary school with thehelp of her students. Kids willresearch each of the stopsalong the route and move anicon each day to keep trackof their travelling teacher.Gill will also visit her school’sclasses before she leaves andask them for any questionsthey’d like answered alongthe way.

“I’m hoping to involveeverybody,” she says.“They’re so excited for me.”

While onboard, Gill willpost a blog where Internetconnection is available.Those entries, along with aplan for classroom activities,will be shared with NationalGeographic. Gill said she alsohopes to use her experienceto work with other teachersto incorporate global teachinginto classroom lessons.

Gill leaves for her two-week trip May 9 and returnsMay 23.

work and had family support,including from his partnerwho was due to give birthany day.

But, the pattern Ascherthad established and the levelof planning involved meant ajail sentence would be morefitting, Judge Steven Merrickstated in his ruling.

This is the fifth time he’dbeen convicted of stealing

catalytic converters tosupport his drug addiction,Merrick added.

Merrick said denouncingAschert’s crime and deter-ring him as well as othersfrom the same illegal activityhad to be emphasized in hispunishment.

“While I’m not sentencinghim on his record, the fact isMr. Aschert has a history ofcommitting similar types ofoffences,” he said. “Simply

stated, the court must senda messages that individualscannot take apart a very valu-able object for the purposeof getting a small part to sellfor scrap because there aresome valuable componentsto them.”

In addition to the jail time,Aschert will have 18 monthsof probation, which will give

him a 10 p.m. curfew anda ban on possessing toolsany time he is away from hisresidence. He must not alsobe found “under” anyone’svehicle, unless the owner ispresent and consenting tohim to being there.

Following sentencing,Aschert was taken into cus-tody to begin his sentence.

Enough’s enough

There’s a critical mass of discon-tent building with the amount ofmoney getting thrown around inour elections.

To Stephen Harper’s credit,he banned corporate and union dona-tions in 2006. Unfortunately, loopholes bigenough to drive a Brinks truck through stillexist, as we are seeing this week with thefederal justice minister getting raked overthe coals for a $500-a-plate fundraisingdinner with a Bay Street law firm. And still,we have record levels of federal electionspending withWest Vancouver-SunshineCoast-Sea to Sky Country being the mostexpensive seat won in Parliament, accord-ing to campaign finance documentsreleased last week.

After taking a political drubbing,Ontario’s Liberal Premier KathleenWynneannounced she would end the practice ofraising funds by essentially selling access

to her government’s ministers (but notbefore raking in a princely sum).

And if we look to the dog and ponyshow happening in the U.S. primaryelections, we’ll find dark horse candi-dates Donald Trump and Bernie Sandersdominating much of the chatter, thanks inpart to their proud declarations eschewingsupport of corporate interests.

Sadly, B.C. remains behind both thetimes andmost other provinces. Privatemembers bills from the B.C. NDP as well asour lone elected independent MLA, VickiHuntington, that would ban corporateand union cash both were defeated undera chorus of Nay votes from our Liberals,and the five-figure schmooze fests with thepremier are still up for grabs.

The more than $5 million they broughtin from corporate donors in 2015 may havea lot to do with why they prefer to keepthe teat flowing.

“This (pay parkingdecision) is just the tipof the very huge icebergof non-creativity that iscurrently defining NorthVancouver planning acrossthe board.”

– Siobhan O’Connell,April 6 North Shore News

In her letter to the edi-tor, Siobhan O’Connelladded an exclamationmark to the frustrationmany City of NorthVancouver residents feelabout what they see as agrowing lack of demo-cratic process at cityhall.

The Harbourside busi-ness owner-taxpayer wroteshe was “beyond offendedand utterly frustrated” that,absent any pretence atpublic consultation, councilhad voted 5-2 to turn areastreets into a pay parkingzone.

Whether or not O’Connellwas aware, this issue hasbeen festering for six yearsor more. We know thatbecause, at a mid-April2012 open house held to

discuss development of thelands held by KnightsbridgeProperties and ConcertProperties, two of the mainconcerns that attendeesraised were related to trafficgridlock and the alreadyexisting lack of parkingspaces for employees andclients of the NorthshoreAuto Mall.

On April 18, 2012, NorthShore News reporterBenjamin Alldritt notedthat traffic consultantPeter Joyce, of Bunt andAssociates, “said he hadheard residents’ concernsover traffic at previousevents over the past

two years.”Driven by the pace of

development, concernsabout traffic congestion andparking throughout the citywere repeated to council bya dozen or more presentersat a subsequent meeting ofcouncil on June 17, 2014.

Over those years, anyonewho had taken their cardown for an early-morningservicing could have toldyou the Auto Mall streetparking was already taken.

How has it taken untilnow for city staff and coun-cil to bring down a hammer– on the wrong people?

Reached for her com-ment, O’Connell repeatedher belief that a temporarysolution would be for thecity and property own-ers to reach some sort ofagreement that vehiclesbe allowed to use the fivevacant nearby lots to copewith overflow parkingneeds.

“We often see peoplefrom the film industryparked down there,” shesaid. “Why shouldn’tNorth Shore residents and

businesses be allowed to dothe same?”

When I thought of whatit would take in businessvolume for O’Connell to justbreak even after paying her24 employees and $14,000/month rent, I didn’t have theheart to answer by suggest-ing the use of those lotswould likely also come at aprice.

Lack of parking andtraffic congestion issuesare reaching crisis point inall three municipalities. Itis hard to see how drivingcommercial operations outof business by making itimpossible for their employ-ees to get to work, or clientsto patronize them will doanything to improve thequality of life on the NorthShore. It is not as thoughconvenient transit alterna-tives are anywhere close onthe horizon.

And speaking of transit,the other major point tobe made – especially in thecity – is that the develop-ments approved over thepast eight to 10 yearshave so crowded our main

thoroughfares, it will soonbe impossible to build anyeffective form of rapid tran-sit, even if TransLink diddecide to look beyond thebridges.

Another aspect of theHarbourside question yetto be determined is for thecommunity to hear exactlywhat will be the updatednature of the developmenton the still vacant lands.Many of the fundamentalsof the original plans havechanged significantly overthe intervening years sinceKnightsbridge and ConcertProperties first began to puttheir ideas to council.

Not only has councilmembership changed atleast twice over, the toneof council discussion hasbecome toxic.

Meanwhile, city’s hall’soverzealous staff appears toprefer overcoming coun-cil’s democratic right andresponsibility to make thefinal decisions.

Beyond that, though, isthe fact that man-made ornot, climate change is givinga boost to sea levels and

forcing corporations andgovernments alike to rethinktheir attitudes to waterfrontdevelopments.

Will rising sea levelscause Concert to pull backand revise their plans? Ifthat should happen, willMayor Darrell Mussatto andhis team at city hall give thepublic another chance tovoice its opinions?

Or will they say – as theyhave over the recent Lot 5changes – that citizens hadplenty of opportunity tosay their piece at the startof the process and all theyneed do now is commenton the design and/or zoningvariances.

More and more it seems,the four in the 4-3 votes oncouncil seem to think thepublic is only useful to payfor the decisions they makebehind closed doors.

Question is, are city tax-payers of North Vancouvergoing to take that lyingdown?

Or will more and more ofthem “get their Irish up” asO’Connell has done?

The B.C. NDP alwaysfaces a tough, uphillstruggle to get electedto government in this

province, and somemoves bythe federal wing of the NDPthis past weekendmaymakethat hill even steeper.

Dumping ThomasMulcairas federal leader necessitatesa leadership race. The goodnews for the B.C. NDP is thatthe vote won’t happen for twoyears, but the bad news isthat a leadership race sucksresources, money and energyout of other party activities.

By next spring, when thenext provincial election willoccur, the federal race shouldjust be starting to get intogear. The B.C. NDP is alreadystruggling financially, and anyrival for raising funds— suchas a leadership race— is notwhat the party needs.

Still, the actual vote beingsuch a long ways off shouldmitigate much of the damage.

What may have greaterimplications for the B.C. NDP,however, was the federalNDP’s decision to come closer—- through an internal partydebate— to embracing thecontroversial and radical“LeapManifesto,” a far-leftmovement aimed at combat-ing climate change, blockingtrade deals and raising taxes.

I can only imagine the B.C.Liberals are salivating over theprospect of tying the federalNDP’s courtship of the LeapManifesto to the B.C. NDP’stail, and stepping back togleefully watch the provincialparty’s furious attempts toseparate itself from all thecontroversy that may resultfrom the positions called forby the Leap folks.

Of course the B.C. Liberalswill exaggerate the actuallinkage between the NDP andthe LeapManifesto, but that’spolitics. The NDP has openedthe door here.

Then again, it’s entirelypossible manymembers ofthe B.C. NDP will be just asinterested in bringing the LeapManifesto into the party to stir

up a debate. The Leap folks,for example, want to imme-diately halt the building of alloil pipelines and to quickly— very quickly— transitionthe economy away from fossilfuels.

The anti-pipeline stanceseems fairly close to theone held by B.C. NDP, whichopposes both the Enbridgepipeline and the proposedtwinning of the Kinder Morganpipeline. Still, as someone who

has known and covered NDPleader John Horgan for almost20 years, I can’t imagine himleading a political party thatwants anything to do with theLeapManifesto.

Historically, Horgan isfrom the pro-resource devel-opment side of the NDP, theone championed by peoplehe was close to in govern-ment: ex-premiers GlenClark and Dan Miller. It wasthose two who, more thananyone before or since, took

measures to allow the B.C.oil and gas sector to flourish.

So it seems inconceivablethat he would entertain manyof the policies espoused bythe LeapManifesto.

Nevertheless, all this playsto the B.C. Liberals’ strategyof portraying the B.C. NDPas the “party of no,” one thatopposes all kinds of industrialdevelopment and therefore—-or so the B.C. Liberals argue— against job creation.

Last week providedanother example of how theNDP is potentially vulner-able on this. Union leaders ofseveral building trades unionsattended a government newsconference to announce thelatest contracts let on the SiteC dam project, lending theirsupport and decrying theNDP’s opposition to the dam.

Also now in the B.C.Liberal arsenal are the angrycomments from another NDPleader: Alberta Premier RachelNotley (soon to be the onlyelected NDP premier in thecountry), who is furious aboutthe federal NDP’s de facto sup-port for something that wouldgreatly hurt her province’seconomy.

So the party, at variouslevels, is watching some long-time alliances splinter, andit goes beyond the AlbertaNDP being on the outs witheveryone else. The federalparty is taking a significantshift to the left, which willundoubtedly have some kindof impact on the B.C. wing ofthe party, which has yet toreveal much of its eventualelection platform.

A leadership race will likelyfocus the party on these shifts,and that has great potential tobecome very divisive.

The NDP has always beengood at creating internaldivisions. We shall soon seewhether they help sabotagethe party’s election chanceshere.

The same politicaltheatre in which officialsgrouse about high taxeswithout offering suggestionsabout closing parks, tearingup tennis courts or firingstaff is played out annually,Cameron said.

“You can’t have it bothways. You can’t support pro-grams and support facilitiesthat the public wants andnot pay for them.”

Deferring taxes in thehopes of a “golden era whenLNG flows” is not an option,according to Cameron.

West Vancouverhas enjoyed the lowesttax increases in MetroVancouver for a decade,making the hike a “toughpill to swallow,” said MayorMichael Smith.

Despite a politicalcareer spent advocatingfor lower taxes, Smith saidhe was persuaded to votefor the hike because of theacute need to protect WestVancouver’s investment intheir assets.

“We have a lot of assetsand we need to makesure that they’re properlymaintained. If you drive byKlee Wyck you can see whathappens when we don’tmaintain them,” he said.“Because we’ve had severalyears of zero tax increases… we have bills that have tobe paid.”

With precious littleindustry, West Vancouverrelies heavily on taxation– something that needs to

change, according to Smith.The district should use

its land and assets to tapanother “money tree,” themayor said. “If we use (ourland and assets) creativelyto create money like we didwith Grosvenor – with $46million cash for the transac-tion down there – that putsa lot of money into the bankof the municipality.”

Smith was referring to the2013 sale of the 1300-block ofMarine Drive for two towersbuilt by the Grosvenor devel-opment group.

Using land creatively isone thing, but selling land issomething else, noted Coun.Christine Cassidy, who saidshe would not support sell-ing an appreciating asset.“Land is an appreciatingasset.”

However, when it comesto topping up districtcoffers, pay parking is “awonderful source of rev-enue,” according to Cassidy.

West Vancouver’s

historic commitment to lowtaxes created unsustain-able practices, according toCoun. Mary-Ann Booth.

“We have always robbedPeter (that is the capitalaccount) to pay Paul (that isthe operating),” she said.

The pay-as-you-goapproach compelled thedistrict to fail to maintainbuildings, sell the land andbuild something new.

“You ran a building intothe ground, like the policestation,” said Booth.

Levying higher taxes willallow the district to main-tain assets and keep theirland, she said.

The tax hike was a longtime coming, said Coun.Nora Gambioli. “We havenot done this properly for100 years. I think we need tojust bite the bullet and do itthis year.”

The tax hike breaks downinto 1.62 per cent for operat-ing costs with the other 5.25per cent as an asset levy.

In 2006, in a small hospital in ruralsouthern Rwanda, a premature babylay curled up in a washing bowl next toa wood stove to keep warm.

It was a sight Hilary King will never forget.At the time, the North Vancouver residentwas working at Lions Gate Hospital. Thecontrast of seeing a nursery in the town ofKigeme was eye opening.

“That was just a turning point for mebecause inside my heart I was saying,‘It doesn’t have to be like this.’ It was soextreme compared to what we have in NorthAmerica,” recalls King, who was touring theRwandan health care facility with a LowerMainland Anglican church group.

King realized she didn’t have the capacityto raise funds for a brand new hospital forthe community. But she did have experiencein community development.

“My experience was telling me that maybeif we went further upstream to help thesemoms to stay healthy during their pregnancy,we would prevent the premature babies andthe infant and maternal deaths that werevery evident at that point,” she says.

That’s how Embrace Rwanda was born.King, the founder and executive director ofthe charitable organization, started things offby establishing the Healthy Mum’s Project in2008. The program helps mothers throughpregnancy by offering consultations withhealth workers and giving a goat to each

mother to help provide better nutrition anda source of income. King saw positive changewithin a year.

“It was just amazing to see how womenwere following through with the advice theywere given around hygiene and nutrition,”she says.

From there, the charity expanded itsservice offerings. As the babies grew intotoddlers, Embrace Rwanda introduced anEarly Childhood Education project to prepareyoung children for primary school and givethem a foundation in English – the languageused in Rwandan schools.

“We realized that it’s fine to help momsduring pregnancy, but if that family and ifthat child is going to have a really good start,they need more attention during that first1,000 days – that’s the crucial time for earlychildhood development,” King says.

Soon after that, Embrace Rwanda set upa vocational training centre to teach usefultrades to adults, and an economic develop-ment program that organize micro-loans tohelp residents start small businesses.

From its beginnings, Embrace Rwanda hasexpanded to serve 11 districts of Rwanda(there are 30 in total). In its first year, theHealthy Mum’s Project helped 200 mothers.That number exploded to more than 2,700mothers in 2015. Just last year, the charitywas registered as an international non-gov-ernment organization.

Currently, about 130 Rwandan staff run

I love the colour grey.However, it tends toget a bad reputation forbeing a bit dull.

This is especially truehere on the West Coastwhere our skies are grey fora good part of the year.

There’s no disputing thatthe colour grey is one ofthe “it” colours this seasonand the decor industry iscelebrating by stockingtheir store shelves full oftrendy grey tones. Furniture,

pillows, duvets, you name it,it’s in grey.

like to incorporate this shade into yourhome, there are a couple of rules youmay want to follow.

First, if you are planning to paintyour walls grey, then use a soft, cream,ivory trim. The cream trim will not onlycomplement the grey wall but will giveit some depth.

Secondly, incorporate shiny sur-faces, such as mirrors and chromeaccessories. These will really pop inthe grey environment.

Also remember to bring in manysources of light. Table and floor lamps,and wall sconces should be added tohelp create a nice warm atmosphere of

both task and ambient lighting.There are clever ways to comple-

ment these wonderful soothing greytones by combining them with creamsand pops of colour such as teal andcoral. Grey tones co-ordinate beauti-fully with coral tones on furniture, suchas sofas and occasional chairs.

A dark charcoal bed or grey sofaacts as a wonderful base for addingpops of colour such as pink cushionsand teal throws. I love adding creamfaux fur accessories to loveseats andoccasional chairs along with pale pinkpillows and shades of coral blue.

Many stores are carrying greyloveseats, sectionals and sofas at themoment in various shades of grey.

You will see them accented with tealpillows and throws. Teal ottomansco-ordinate beautifully with grey occa-sional chairs.

Accent your sofa with a silver, mir-rored side table and add cream tosscushions on each side.

Working with grey can producebeautiful results even when you live inVancouver. Incorporate the beautifulshades of spring colour and add dramato your rooms.

North Vancouver resident and Embrace Rwanda executive director Hilary King holds aRwandan baby during one of her many visits to the African country. PHOTO SUPPLIED

King reflectson thepastdecade

the various programs.King, who takes no salary,travels to the country twicea year at her own expensewith a team of volunteersfrom Canada, the U.S. andU.K. These volunteers havebackgrounds in health care,education and construc-tion and help to train theRwandan staff.

“The whole idea is notto go there and do thingsfor people, or even to sendpeople from Canada to workthere. We encourage trainingso that local people are thenemployed,” King explains,admitting that making theprograms self-sustainable is

a challenge. “When peopleare coming from abjectpoverty, it’s difficult forthem to quickly move intosustainability.”

King has travelled toother developing countries,but was particularly struckby the situation of Rwanda, acountry which is still recov-ering from the 1994 genocidemore than two decades later.

“It’s a country that wastotally devastated duringthe genocide and the momsin these rural communitiesdon’t have any other supportbecause they’ve lost theirmothers, their grandmoth-ers, their aunties,” King says.

There is still a great dealof emotional trauma, she

explains, and suspicionamong neighbours leavesmany people feeling isolated.As such, Embrace Rwanda isjust now starting Healing theNext Generation, a programintended to help residentsdeal with lasting emotionaltrauma.

Asked what has kept hermotivated to help out for thelast 10 years, King doesn’thesitate to answer.

“Each time I go I just seelives being transformed andI hear the women giving tes-timonies of how their liveshave changed,” she says.

Labelsmake a difference to our childrenJaymie races out of thehouse to go to school.Then he dashes backin and grabs his schoolproject which he had leftsitting on the dining roomtable. “I’m so stupid”he said, “I forgot myproject.”

“No,” his mother replied,“you remembered, and justin time.”

His mother could havelaunched into the lecture

telling him that if he’d justput it by the door the wayshe suggested he would haveremembered when he firstleft. She could have talked tohim about the consequencesat school if he had left hisproject at home.

But she didn’t. She helpedhim to see the situation in apositive way. She defined himas a child who remembersthings.

Next time he will likely

remember the first timebecause he now sees himselfas a kid who remembers.And he knows that’s what hismom expects of him.

Kids will work hard to liveup to and exceed our expecta-tions. How we label them letsthem know what we expect.

When our expectationsgive positive messages theyhelp our kids develop a goodsense of self-confidence. Momsays I’m responsible, or dad

says I’m helpful.Nicknames often work

against our kids. Names suchas Shorty, Clumsy, Klutz orCrybaby can become dailyreminders of incompetence.And in the same way that kidswork to live up to our expec-tations they can live down tothem as well and become theklutz or crybaby they believethey are supposed to be.

Avoid using negativelabels about your child.

Saying in front of him that heis shy, stubborn or silly willset him up to be exactly whathe hears. Our kids think weknow everything so howeverwe describe them, they willfollow along and nurture thelabels we place on them.

We also want to makesure that others don’t labelthem. You are shopping andyou meet your friend Doris.Parenting

Three-year-old Olive ducksbehind your legs when yougo up to speak to her. Dorisnotices that Olive certainly isshy. You can turn it around bysaying, “No, she just likes towatch what’s happening whenI meet one of my friends.”

Avoid making comparisonsparticularly among siblings.“My son’s good in math andhis sister’s a superb speller.”These sound positive, andthey are, but the kids tendto hear what they’re not, so

your daughter will avoid mathbelieving that she’s not goingto be able to do well.

Comparing your kids tomotivate them is anotherway we can set up negativeexpectations. “Why can’t youkeep your room neat like yoursister does?” “Why don’t youeat all your dinner like yourbrother does?”

Describing our kids inrelation to their relatives canalso backfire. “I just hatedchemistry when I was inschool and it looks like you’rejust the same.” On the other

hand, you can add positivelabels by comparing kids tofamily members. This cansometimes be a great role forgrandparents to play.

They can tell their grand-children stories about theirparents in a positive anduplifting way. Soon the kidsare seeing the possibilities inlife and feeling extremely wellabout themselves.

It can be challenging whena child’s behaviour is hard todescribe in a way that buildsconfidence and a forwardmotion. The trick is to simply

change the labels.So a hyperactive kid

becomes energetic, a shy onecautious. An unpredictablekid is flexible, a daydreamer iscreative and an aggressive kidis assertive.

Then we look for ways tohelp our child move forward.Take the daydreamer. Ifyou see her as creative youwill then help her learn allkinds of ways to channel herenergy. Does she want to takea drama course, study pot-tery or write stories?

We can easily make a

difference in how our kidssee themselves. When theysee themselves in a positivelight they will develop theself-confidence they need tobecome successful and happyyoung men and women.

A FEW OF OUR TESTIMONIALS:

“My daughter had a great time at summer camp. She was soexcited to show off her artwork. I really liked seeing her confidenceand pride in all she achieved.”

—HEATHERM., PARENT

“I want to give the kids a sense of freedom to explore. I want toimpart to them that they shouldn’t be worried about what otherkids are doing, that they should be doing what is important tothem.”

—DAVIDWILSON, ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE, 2014

“At camp, I found the food to be exceptional, the materials tobe wonderful, the people to be lovely, the artist to be charming,the location to be dazzling, the counselors to be exceptionaland the whole camp experience to be utterly delightful. My onlycomplaint is that it was only one week, and not longer. This campis something that I look forward to all year, and it’s a wonderfullyfulfilling experience.”

done, your discipline warrantsacknowledgement, but, in theend, it only means more piefor the rest of us.

No, my focus here is(mainly) on the lovelysavoury goods that issuefrom Savary’s on-site kitchenin West Vancouver, a facilityforced into temporary hiatusbut one that, through system-atic and patient rebuilding,is now back in operation andgood as ever.

It is a common adage infilm that you cannot makea good picture from a poorscript, but you can neverthe-less make a poor picture froma good script. I think a similarprinciple holds true in the artof making sandwiches. It ispossible, through sloppy mis-calculation or lazy attention todetail, to ruin a sandwich thatbegan with great bread, but itis simply not possible to makea great sandwich with poorquality bread.

Savary bakes good breadand builds its sandwichesfrom there. The bread is thehero of their sandwiches,

none of which are terriblycomplex or fussy, but all ofwhich are likely to inspire apause in the diner, a momentof head-nodding appreciationfor how one of the westernworld’s foremost staples canshine so brightly with littleappeal to supporting fillingsor toppings.

My family and I descendedon Savary’s cosy dining spacefairly early on a Sunday andfound it to be jam-packed.We opted for take-out andselected two sandwiches, aslice of pie, and, because his-tory has proven that I simplycannot exit the shop withoutit, a loaf of freshly baked sodabread.

The first sandwich,unwrapped amidst the sly,food theft-prone crows atnearby John Lawson Park,was Grilled Cheese. Twothick slabs of lush and chewysourdough bread, grilledto a pale golden colour andthoroughly saturated inbutter, surrounded a gooeymess of sharp white cheddar,thinly sliced purple onion

and sliced tomato. It was anexceptionally rich sandwich,but balanced overall cour-tesy of the tomato’s acidity.I’d describe it as a decidedlyadult grilled cheese. It was afairly hefty size too, which Isuppose is why it was $12, themost expensive item in ourmeal.

The second sandwich wasToasted Tomato, a simpleand satisfying combination oftoasted, thick-cut multigrainbread, lettuce, plenty of freshand ripe tomato and mayon-naise. This is the sort of quickand easy sandwich you mightmake at home one night wheneveryone else is out and youthink to yourself: I wish some-one was here to taste howgood this is.

I felt compelled to ordera slice of Tourtiere, thetraditional French Canadianground meat pie, because itwas a special occasion dish inmy home when I was growingup and one to which I accord-ingly attach high expectations.

Shout it from the moun-taintops: Savary IslandPie Co. is back, fully,completely.

I visited the esteemedpurveyor of artisanal sweetand savoury pies one recentweekend, the first followingthe reopening of the shop/eatery’s main kitchen.

Last year proved unkindto Savary Island. A couple ofmonths following the busi-ness’s announcement thatdelivery would be availableseven days a week, 365 daysa year, heavy late-autumnrainfall overloaded the plumb-ing infrastructure and causedsevere flooding. It was a mas-sive blow to the shop, forcingthem to lay off a number ofstaff and rely on their off-siteproduction facility to keepgoods in stock over the busyholiday season.

Pies, extraordinarily goodones that contain poundsof delicious, ripe fruit, areSavary’s specialty. But youprobably know this already.The place has been serving upconsistently great pies since1989 and has been a fixture inthe winner’s category of theNorth Shore News ReadersChoice Awards for manyyears. So I’m not here to talkto you about those pies. Ifyou are able to eat pastry,the only explanation for whyyou haven’t yet tried a SavaryIsland fruit pie is because youare averse to pleasure.

Sodabreadprovesdense, rich, andrewardingFrom page 27

Savary’s version was good,densely packed with moistand fragrant ground meat in abuttery, flaky crust.

For my taste the flavour ofallspice was a bit too domi-nant in the meat filling, but Ialso need to say in the samebreath that this is very typicalof traditional tourtiere reci-pes; there are as many subtlevariations of this dish as thereare families who make it andI know that many peopleassociate it in large part with

flavours of allspice, cinnamonand cloves.

I would suggest thatthe serving size was on thesmall side for $9.50, but Isuppose this is not a dishthat one ought to eat in giantquantities.

Now, about that sodabread. It’s a $10 loaf, so maybeit’s not your everyday staplefare. However, for me it isworth every penny as it issome of the densest, richest,most rewarding bread around.

Our meal of two sand-wiches, a slice of tourtiere,

two Americano coffees and aloaf of fantastic soda bread,was $50. Savary Island Pie Co.is located at 1533 Marine Dr. inWest Vancouver. 604-926-4021.savaryislandpiecompany.com

For the coach of a team that has just lostfour straight games heading into the play-offs, Capilano Rugby Club’s Keith Reevesis a very confident man.

“Despite being a very experienced coach,I am eternally optimistic,” Reeves said witha laugh when the North Shore News caughtup with him following the latest defeat, atough 21-18 loss to Burnaby Lake Rugby ClubSaturday at Klahanie Park to finish off the CDIPremier League regular season. In Februarythe Capilanos were second in the league fol-lowing a 3-1 start, but the four straight lossesdropped them to sixth, setting up a playoffquarterfinal trip to Vancouver Island wherethey’ll face James Bay Saturday. The losingskid, however, hasn’t dimmed the team’sspirits or brought about any questions fromwithin the club, said Reeves. That position isbuoyed by the fact that all four games havebeen highly competitive, with the last threelosses coming by a combined total of sixpoints. Saturday’s loss was another heart-breaker with second-place Burnaby Lakeearning two late penalties to tie the game andthen win it.

“The crowd was great on Saturday, it wasgood to see Klahanie packed to the rafters.I’m sorry we didn’t get the result, (but) rugbypeople can see the progress. I don’t feelany pressure. If you lose four games on thebounce at this time of the season, normallyyou feel some pressure. But I think everybodycan see that the team is improving.”

The string of losses also coincides witha slew of injuries. Clement Vernozoul, theteam’s primary goal kicker, has been out witha concussion since January and captain andbackup kicker Chris Robinson has an ankleinjury, leaving the team scrambling to find aconsistent kicking game.

“Goal kicking has been a factor,” said

Reeves. “Injuries have been a huge factor.In 30 years of coaching I’ve never known aninjury situation like this. We’re completelydecimated in the backs. I’m not makingexcuses, because the guys who’ve come inhave done fantastically well.”

The Capilano club boasts a deep program

with a strong first division team that justposted a perfect 8-0 record in regular seasonplay as well as two third-division teams.

“It’s a good job we’ve got four good teamsat the club because guys are moving up thelevels because of injuries quite rapidly,” saidReeves. “I had virtually a first div backline on

Saturday. So consequently, third div guys wereplaying for the first div. … The third div guysdidn’t look out of place playing in the first div,and the first div guys didn’t look out of placeplaying in the prems.”

The team has been led by cousins Glen and Jeff McKinnon,said Reeves, with strong play from Connor Christopher,newcomer Alex Boyden formerly of Meralomas, and talentedyoung prop Jordan Reid-Harvey, a former member of Canada’sU20 national team.

“The forwards have been great,” said Reeves. “Our for-wards have been playing a high intensity, high pace offloadgame and it’s catching a lot of the bigger packs out. …We’redominating teams in the pack. It’s just with injuries and stuffwe’re struggling in the back a little.”

While a close examination of the results puts a spotlighton the four-game losing streak, Reeves said he’s much moreinterested in taking a wider view.

“We’ve got better and better and better each week,” hesaid. “You’ve got to think of the short game and the long game.It’s disappointing, some of the defeats. The loss particularlyat UBC Old Boys was devastating – we should have won by20. And on Saturday I wasn’t disappointed for me, I was upsetfor the guys because they absolutely worked their socks off.A couple of late penalties, a little bit of ill-discipline as they’regetting tired on Saturday gave them two penalties from theruck that they kicked, drew level and then won the game with.I was disappointed for the guys. … Thinking of the long game,I’ve seen week-on-week progress.”

The late swoon, however, has handed the Capilanos a toughtask in sending them to Victoria to take on James Bay. Rugbylore has always said that the ferry trip over to the Islandknocks 10 points off the expected score for visiting teams.

“It’s not an easy journey, it does take it out of the guys,”said Reeves. “When you go on long trips like this it takes alittle longer for the guys to switch on.”

Of course, Reeves is optimistic about his team’s chances.The sixth-place finish is actually fortuitous for the club, hesaid, because it means they’ll avoid undefeated juggernautUBC until the final if they can make it all the way there. OnSaturday Capilano will need to contain James Bay superstarConnor Braid, a national team mainstay who is recoveringfrom a nasty facial injury, but the path is there to make a play-off run against teams that Capilano has matched up well withall season, said Reeves.

“It’s worked out better for us this way,” he said. “I think wecan go to James Bay on Saturday and win, and then we’ll seewhat happens after that.”

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. Saturday at MacDonaldPark in Victoria.
