NorthVanboarding school for sale

A shuttered private schoolin Maplewood is on themarket for close to $33.9million.

The 6.5-acre propertyat 2420 Dollarton Hwy.

comes with classrooms, agymnasium, a cafeteria,offices and three dormitorieslarge enough to house 350students.

The school has hadvarious owners andoperators since it was builtin the late ’80s by Japanese

investors. It has been calledGoldenwood Hall, CanadianInternational College andTheWestside School untilit shut down and the schooloperators walked away fromthe lease in September lastyear.

The current ownersconsidered looking for a newtenant but they had beenapproached by other privateschool operators looking

to buy in recent years,according to DavidTaylor,the Colliers Internationalagent representing theowners. “They decidedto put it on the marketand explore what the levelof interest is given thedynamics inVancouver rightnow, which is that privateschool enrolment is goingup.What’s interesting aboutthis particular school is that

it has dorm facilities, whichis quite rare,” he said.

The only other boardingschools in the LowerMainland are St. George’sSchool inVancouver andBodwell High School inNorthVancouver, both ofwhich have waitlists forstudents to be entered intothe dorms.

“We based the price onwhat would be an investors’

expectation of return basedon that lease rate,”Taylorsaid.

There has also beensome interest in the land’sindustrial potential.

Council proposes joint transit plan

NICKWELLSContributing writer

A proposal that would seethe three municipalitieson the North Shore cometogether to work on aunified transportationplan was approved bythe District of NorthVancouver council onMonday night.

The proposal — broughtforward by Coun. DougMacKay-Dunn — seeksto bring together theDistrict of NorthVancouvercouncil as well as councilsfrom the City of NorthVancouver and District of

WestVancouver to forma working group aimed atreviewing the North Shorearea transit plan as wellasTransLink’s 10-yearinvestment plan.

It also asked for all threemunicipalities to cometogether to review theworking group and helpcommunicate the needsof North Shore residentsto bothTransLink and theprovincial government.

MacKay-Dunn stressedthe need for a unifiedvoice to help counteractVancouver and Surrey’sinfluence on transit matters.

“Not to do this would

be, in my opinion, notfulfilling our responsibilitiesas the electedrepresentatives of our NorthVancouver community,”said MacKay-Dunn. “Wehave to speak with onevoice. If we don’t, we willbe whip-sawed and onemunicipality will be playedoff one another.”

A report given tocouncil highlighted severalexamples of transit issuesplaguing the North Shoresuch as the cancellationof the C15 bus takingcommuters from DeepCove to Parkgate as well asCapilano students being leftbehind due to overcrowdedbuses.

“More specifically, (it’s)something we’ve beenasking for, for a long time

and never been able to getto is an actual cost benefitstatement of what we getright now in the way oftransportation to what wepay,” said Coun. RogerBassam.

Some concerns wereraised about the timing ofthe proposal and how itwould relate to the largertransit referendum whichis being raised across theLower Mainland.

The B.C. governmentapproved a MetroVancouver transit taxreferendum question whichwould call for a 0.5 percent tax to the mayors’transportation and transitplan back in December.

Ballots are expected tobe sent out in mid-March.The tax in turn would fund

a new B-Line rapid busroute as well as fund thebuilding of a new Pattullobridge, construction of arapid transit route alongBroadway inVancouver andincreased service across theSkyTrain and Canada Line.

“It’s clear transportationis the dominant issue forNorth Shore residents,”said Coun. Jim Hanson.

The motion was tweakedto invite the four membersof the legislative assemblyand the members ofparliament from the areaas well with the amendedproposal gaining approval.

The timing of theproposal in relation to thetransit referendum planwas incidental but part ofa much needed discussion,said Mayor RichardWalton.

Walton was recentlyousted as the chairmanof theTransLink mayor’scouncil withVancouverMayor Gregor Robertsonreplacing him. SurreyMayor Linda Hepner waselected as vice-chairwoman.

“Transit is part of thesolution. If people haveviable transit then there’sa reason to get out of theircars. If we get even three,four, five per cent of peopleout of their cars with goodalternatives it will reallyhelp alleviate these pinchpoints,” he said after themeeting.

According to DavidStuart, the district’s chiefadministrative officer, themeeting of the North Shoremunicipalities could comeby the end of February.

There’s a flash that followsafter he leaves so we knowhe’s connected to the fireand it shows him draggingthe safe to where it’sopened,” said Cpl. RichardDe Jong, North VancouverRCMP spokesman.

Police are questioningwhether the suspect is adisgruntled ex-student

or former staff member.Footage captured by thecameras, however, hasbeen reviewed by membersat the detachment aswell as administrators,security staff and facultyon campus but so far, noone has been able to IDthe man.

It’s not clear why hewanted to start a fire.

“That’s a good

question,” De Jong said.“It could be vengeance,retaliation. It could becovering evidence ortracks.”

Anyone who recognizesthe suspect, seen in thefootage wearing a blackjacket, grey hoodie andbeige baseball cap, isasked to contact NorthVancouver RCMP at 604-969-7964.

the land listed as a specialstudy area in its land useplan, meaning it could beredeveloped into anythingbut there aren’t anyproposals on the table.

Its zoning under theDistrict of NorthVancouveris light industrial, whichalso partly justifies theasking price,Taylor said.“That value is quitehigh if you look at whatindustrially zoned landsells for right now inNorthVancouver.”

Marketing material alsolists “Long-term upsidevalue in rezoning andredevelopment to higherdensity.” Still,Taylor saidhe expects the property willeventually sell to either a

local or offshore boardingschool looking to expand.“To find a property to builda boarding school is next toimpossible.This is an easysituation because you reallyjust need to apply for the

got on the ferry. Policereviewed video from B.C.Ferries’ security camerasat the terminal anddetermined that Radhubernever boarded the vessel toNanaimo.

Since then, a witnessparked in the ferry lineup

has come forward to reportseeing Radhuber climbingthe fence and heading up theembankment.

Police are hoping theadditional informationcould prompt others in thepublic who may recall seeingRadhuber or have had anencounter with him sincethen.

“He could have goneleft at the train tracks. He

could have gone right atthe highway. He couldhave kept going on theBaden Powell trail.Wereally don’t know,” saidNorthVancouver RCMPspokesman Cpl. RichardDe Jong.

It’s unlike Radhuberto disappear, and friendsand family are worried, headded. De Jong said therehas been no activity on

either Rahuber’s cellphoneor his bank account since hedisappeared.

Radhuber is described asbeing six foot three, weighing181 pounds. He has browneyes, wears glasses and hasbrown hair.

Dear Editor:Your Jan. 7 online story about a local woman

setting traps on the trails of Mount Frommehit close to home. I live nearby and hike thetrails regularly, including Quarry Court trail.Over the past year I’ve personally clearedQuarry Court of logs and other obstructions,sometimes numerous times per week, and Iapplaud the initiative of the two mountainbikers who discovered the perpetrator.

However, you missed one point in the

story as reported.While Lower Skull is adesignated bike trail, the close-by Quarry Courtis designated hiking only.You’ve publisheda photo of the sign marking Lower Skull forbiking, I’m sending a photo of the sign at thebottom of Quarry Court trail.There is no signat the top of Quarry Court as approximately18 months ago the signpost was ripped out andnow lies nearby in the bush.

It’s important for all of us who use thetrails to respect others, and part of that

means respecting the trail use designations.I’m grateful to those who stood up to thisindividual, but I do wonder how mountainbikers came across traps set on a walking onlytrail? Perhaps they didn’t know it was hikingonly, as the sign at the top is missing. I hopethat now the trails are cleared once and for all oftraps and obstructions, users regard others anduse the trails as designated.Jeff OatesNorthVancouver

Mind the gapAs the world’s elite gathered

in Switzerland this week totalk about economic matters,

the charity Oxfam released a reporthighlighting how the rich are gettingricher while the poor continue to haveless.

According to that report, the richest 80people in the world now have the samewealth as the bottom 3.5 billion people.And that gap is widening, rather thannarrowing.

By next year, it is estimated the richestone per cent will own more than thepoorest 99 per cent combined.

This bodes ill, and not just in amoral sense, the charity warned. It alsothreatens functional political systems andeconomic growth.

While the disparities in the report aremore glaringly apparent in developingareas of the globe, North America shows

ample evidence of the trend.Extreme wealth is a force that

attracts more money to itself by itssheer gravitational pull, aided by acombination of crony capitalism, socialDarwinism and trickle-down economictheory. Not to mention naked self-interest.

Gradually, however, those at the topof the food chain are waking up to thefact a consumer society in which largenumbers of people are not benefiting,buying or buying in is inherentlyunstable.

Startling acts of altruism andphilanthropy aside, governmentsremain the primary means of incomeredistribution in most societies. Clearlythey must do a better job.

Otherwise, as the toe of the mountainis worn away, those at the top will alsohave a long, long way to tumble.

VIEWPOINT

Trail use designations need to be respected

Dear Editor:Re: Cyclists Should be Licensed to Ride,

Jan. 7 Mailbox.Most cyclists are licensed. Every cyclist I

know owns and drives a car. It’s nice to havea choice to cycle to work to avoid rush hourtraffic one day and use the car to go shoppingthe next.

Most cyclists are insured.When they cycle towork, their insured vehicle sits and perhaps evensubsidizes the auto insurance rates of others.

Cyclists pay for bike lanes.Transportation isfunded mostly from municipal and provincialgeneral revenue. Cyclists pay income, property,consumption, transit and even gasoline taxes.

Cyclists generally obey traffic rules. Beinglicensed drivers, they are well aware of the rulesof the road.They are also very vulnerable intraffic so make decisions on how to reduce theirrisk. It’s not unusual to see a cyclist jumping acurb to get out of the way when the bike laneabruptly ends or doing a rolling stop at a traffic

light to get to full speed before the onslaughtof traffic catches up to them again.When theymake the wrong decision, they usually come outon the losing end thus they have great incentiveto make rational decisions about their safety.

Bike lanes, like sidewalks, separate us fromharm’s way when moving about while unitingus in building livable cities.We all benefit, weall pay.Will SchuurmanNorthVancouver

We all pay our share, cyclists included

Housing needs to be affordable for all“Affordable housing is definedas housing that does not costmore than 30 per cent of ahousehold’s gross income,regardless of where they live.”

— MetroVancouverHousing Data Book,

updated to September 2014

How many times have youheard councils throughoutMetroVancouver discussthe need to provideaffordable housing in theircommunities? Have youseen much progress?

The discussions follow apredictable theme: the needto raze older but liveablehomes is rationalized inorder to justify allowingdevelopers to blow throughexisting floor-space-ratiosand zoning bylaws, all inthe name of gaining a fewso-called affordable housingunits.

Some members of theprevious City of NorthVancouver council wereparticularly adept at thegame but the districts ofNorth andWestVancouverhave been gatheringmomentum in order to meetthe development obligationslaid down by the MetroVancouver Regional GrowthStrategy.

Encouraged bydeveloper-friendly councils,building height restrictionshave been sacrificed sothat “tall” and token greenspace can avoid massed or“squat” site coverage. Landvalues have sky-rocketedalong with the buildingsso, understandable or not,residents who have enjoyedtheir quiet single-familyhomes and gardens nowwant to cash out and to heck

with the neighbours theyleave behind.

A purchase price around$289,000 has becomethe new definition of“affordable” — if you canfind one at that price, if yourtotal household income is$69,000 or more, if you canpay $1,475 per month for amortgage or rent and if theunit suits your family.

So what does thefederal/regional affordabilityguideline mean to the NorthShore?

The answer explainswhy so many young peoplecannot afford to leave home;why seniors cannot findsafe, decent accommodationwithin their budgets, andwhy an increasing numberof families fit the definitionof the working poor.

The median incomes inour three communities are:City of NorthVancouver,$59,373; District of NorthVancouver, $87,322 andWestVancouver, $84,345.

North Shore renters areeven worse off. Families thatbring home the data book’smedian income of $40,152across five widely disparatedemographics that includeLions Bay and Bowen Island

can carry a rent of $1,204.Hopefuls below that markwill have trouble findingaffordable accommodation.Anyone who fits Metro’sdefinition of low-to-moderate income is largelyout of luck.

Despite a slight slowingin the market segment,rampant condo developmenthas not proven to lowereither real estate prices orrents, quite the opposite.

Two weeks ago, weheard that the December,year-over-year benchmarkprice for a detached homein MetroVancouver hadtopped $1 million forthe first time.Then, lastWednesday, the Real EstateBoard of GreaterVancouverannounced that MetroVancouver’s real-estateprices had increased onaverage 5.8 per cent over thelast 12 months.

So, is the only solutionfor would-be North Shorerenters and owners to give inand move to less expensivecommunities? After all,former District of NorthVancouver councillor AlanNixon and real estate brokerremarked years ago thatprices were already at thepoint where some people“must accept they can’tafford to live here.”

Well, job commitmentsand family ties aside,how far should we expectpeople to go? I ask becausethe Metro numbers areconsistent across the region;and numbers beyond theregion in municipalities likeMission and Chilliwack arefast catching up.

I don’t know about youbut my North Shore is

about housing for everyone,not merely for those whocan raise the bar higher thanMetro’s definition of above-moderate earners at 120 per

cent of median or more.Can it be done?

Absolutely it can.By the determined will

of North Shore residents,

the developer-mindset ofdecision-makers can bechanged so that increased

Proposed Zoning Bylaw No. 4662, 2010, Amendment Bylaw No. 4809, 2014, andProposed Phased Development Agreement Authorization Bylaw No. 4821, 2014(regarding proposed subdivision of 6447 and 6475 Pitt Street into three smaller lots)

Notice is given that a PUBLIC HEARING will be held in the Council Chamber of the MunicipalHall of The Corporation of the District ofWest Vancouver at 750 17th Street, West VancouverBC on Monday, January 26, 2015 at 7 p.m. for the purpose of allowing the public to makerepresentations to Council respecting matters contained in the proposed bylaws describedbelow.

A public meeting will be held concurrently with the public hearing for the purpose of allow-ing the public to make representations to Council respecting the proposed developmentvariance permit: proposed Development Variance Permit No. 14-011 for 6475 Pitt Street,described below.

Applicant: J. L. Murray

Subject Lands: 6447 and 6475 Pitt Street (shaded and outlined in black on map that forms part of this notice); Legal Description:Amended Lots 19 and 21 (Explanatory Plan 6596), Block 49 District Lot 430 Plan 2103; PIDs: 004-390-903 and 005-395-267

Purpose: Proposed subdivision of 6447 and 6475 Pitt Street into three smaller lots: the proposed bylaws would facilitatethe subdivision of the subject lands on Pitt Street by amending the Zoning Bylaw to allow alternative site area and site widthand authorize a Phased Development Agreement to secure community benefits. The proposed Development Variance Permitwould allow for retention of an existing dwelling with a variance to the minimum combined side yard.

When originally subdivided (subdivision plan deposited with the Land Title Office in 1909) the subject lands were configuredas three 50-foot wide lots. The configuration existed until the subject lands were consolidated and re-subdivided into two75-foot wide lots (approved under Land Registry Act in 1961). This application would return the existing two lots to the originalthree lot configuration, consistent with the majority of residential lots currently in the neighbourhood.

Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment: If adopted, proposed Zoning Bylaw No. 4662, 2010, Amendment BylawNo. 4809, 2014 would amend the RS4 zone by allowing alternative site area and site width for the subject lands.

Proposed Phased Development Agreement Authorization Bylaw: If adopted, proposed Phased DevelopmentAgreement Authorization Bylaw No. 4821, 2014 would authorize the District and the landowners to enter into a Phased Devel-opment Agreement under the Local Government Act that would:

• secure a Community Amenity Contribution of $98,250; and

• have a term of five years, during which time changes to the Specified Zoning Bylaw Provisions (being all of those provi-sions of the Zoning Amendment Bylaw that regulate minimum site area and site width for the purpose of subdivisionand are applicable to the subject lands) would not apply to the development without the developer’s consent.

If approved, proposed Development Variance Permit No. 14-011 would allow for the existing dwelling at 6475 Pitt Street to beretained with a variance to the Zoning Bylaw to allow for a minimum combined side yard of 4.10 metres where 4.57 metres isnormally required.

growth and density can beachieved without destroyingthe neighbourhoods we loveand enjoy. In fact, that wasthe original intent of thiscolumn — until I decidedI could not describe theideas effectively without firstestablishing the backgroundwith some hard numbers.

Many years ago, a groupcirculated a brochure witha photo that had beendoctored to show what theDistrict of NorthVancouverwaterfront would look like ifWestVancouver-style multi-family housing were to bebuilt along its length.

No such housing wasplanned but the communityuproar opposing the ideawas encouraging.

So in the next column,without doctoring photos,I plan to describe what Ibelieve could be a partialsolution to our growinghousing crisis.

If you think the ideashave merit, the NorthShore could become aleader in the field and showthe rest of the region howtruly affordable housing isalready proving successfuland how it can become thenorm throughout all MetroVancouver communities.

PUBLIC EDUCATION LECTURE SERIES

North Shore Schizophrenia Society

The other day I was in a doctor’s officewhere an elderly couple was upset aboutthe time of their next appointment. It wasscheduled for 3:30 in the afternoon. Theywere anxious to change it to an earliertime – because, they said, they wereconcerned about dealing with the volumeof traffic over the Second Narrows at thattime of day. That snapshot of a moment isa sign of our grid-locked times.

Long eastbound lineups down the Cut areno longer confined to rush hour. Manydays, Marine Drive could be re-namedMarine Parking Lot. Getting from pointA to point B within North Vancouver orover town has never been more difficultthan it is today.

North Van Has OwnChallengesMuch is made of Metro Vancouver’sdubious claim to fame as second onlyto Los Angeles as having the worsttraffic congestion in North America.But often lost in the discussion is thefact that North Vancouver has a uniqueand growing traffic challenge thanks toour geography, history and patterns ofdevelopment.

It’s more than irritating. Trafficcongestion has a negative impact onevery aspect of North Shore life, from theeconomy to the environment.

This coming March, residents across theLower Mainland will be asked to vote fora 0.5% increase in BC’s Provincial SalesTax to fund $7.5 billion in new transitprojects over the next 10 years.

Referendum Just A StartI will be voting “Yes” to the referendumquestion and commend the mayors,and especially North Vancouver DistrictMayor Richard Walton, for their work onthe transit funding proposal. But addinga Seabus and more bus lines on the

North Shore, as proposed, is just a startat addressing our own growing problem.Successful or not, the outcome of thereferendum will not, on its own, comeclose to solving North Shore congestion.

What’s required is the start of acomprehensive discussion which leads toan action blueprint that coordinates thecomplex multitude of elements at playhere – from density planning to transit toroads and bridges.

What’s required is a boldness of visionwith no sacred cows that are off-limits toconsideration. That means reviewing theadequacy of two bridges and the possibleneed for rapid transit to the North Shore.

Ottawa Must PlayCentral RoleSome may argue that this is not a federalissue. I disagree. Given the scope andscale of the issues at hand, the federalgovernment must be at the table withfunding and to play a facilitative rolebringing the key players together tothoroughly weigh all reasonable options.

Liberal Party of Canada policy stronglysupports cities as economic drivers andfederal investment in civic infrastructureis key to making the economy grow.

As your Liberal candidate for NorthVancouver in the upcoming federalelection, I pledge to take a leadershiprole in bringing residents, politicians,community groups and businessestogether to develop and discuss optionsand to forge a plan that will work tounsnarl our traffic problem and provide asustainable solution for the future.

The status quo – waiting in a line-upthat is just getting longer – clearly isn’tworking.

Next week in this space, more on why I’mrunning for Parliament.

Funds help Cernicka family

[email protected]

The fundraising campaignto benefit the family ofElena Cernicka, the NorthVancouver mountaineerwho died in a fall fromJoffre Peak on Jan. 11, hasamassed almost five timesits original goal.

The Cernicka’sneighbours, BrendenTorrelland Allisha Matthews,launched an onlinecrowdfunding campaign atYouCaring.com shortly afternews of the fatal fall spread.They’d hoped to raise$5,000 to help Cernicka’shusbandTomas and theirtwo sons. ByTuesdayafternoon, donations hit$22,000 and were stillclimbing.

The Edge climbing centrein NorthVancouver, whereCernicka was a regular,also joined in the effort anddonated 100 per cent of itsafternoon proceeds to thefamily on Friday last week.

Meanwhile, Cernicka’ssister Alica Majercinova hasposted on the campaign siteabout what happened thatday. It wasTomas who foundElena after the fall. Cernickawas known to be a cautiousclimber in the backcountry,Majercinova said.

“Being her little sister,she would always lecture meon the importance of havingthe correct equipment when

outdoors and she wouldnever let me go on any tripsunless she was certain that Iwas with an experienced andcapable group,” Majercinovawrote. “I know that in thevery moment before theaccident, she was enjoyingthe beautiful scenery shewas in but she didn’t loveanything more than herchildren and her family. Ihave known her my whole

life, and I am certain thatif she considered the areaor the conditions even alittle unsafe she would haveturned right back aroundeven if that meant headingdown from just below thesummit.”

Majercinova describedCernicka as the “strongestwoman I had ever known”and “the best role modelanyone could’ve had.”

Winning Super Bowl ideas

This week’s column is forfootball lovers.

The Super Bowl is justaround the corner and thisyear you may want to hostsome friends and family atyour home.

Feb. 1 is the official datefor the big game so thereis plenty of time to preparefor the day.Whether yourfavorite team is playing ornot, the Super Bowl is agreat opportunity to gatherfamily and friends togetherand make an afternoon ofit.

There are plenty ofideas for a Super Bowlsavoury and sweet table.

Over the years I haveseen quite a few creativeways to celebrate this event.

Here are some of myfavorites that are easy toassemble.

Serve your favoriteFrench fries and fingersnacks in little containersmade from empty tin cans.

Simply remove thelabels from your used soupor vegetable cans and washthem thoroughly.

Cut a piece of browncraft paper to fit theoutside of the can andsecure it with scotch tape.

To make the footballstitching you have twooptions.The first is tocarefully hammer four to

six small holes with a smallhammer into the tin canand through the paper.

Thread a white shoelacethrough the holes in thesame stitching pattern as afootball.

Fill the cans withsnacks.

The second option is tocut small pieces of whiteduct tape and place themon the outside of the can inthe same stitching pattern.

Another easy idea fora serving container isto decorate an ordinarybrown paper lunch bag.

Simply use a white feltpen or white duct tape tomake the football stitchingpattern on one side of thebag.

Fill the bag with chipsand other snacks.

Strawberries make

wonderful miniaturefootball snacks.

This will probably beone of the more healthy

items on the buffet butdon’t worry, your guestswill love the chocolate.

Purchase a fresh basket

of strawberries and washthem thoroughly.

Dip the dry strawberriesin melted chocolate and letthem dry on the counteror in the fridge for 30minutes.

Using a white icingtube, pipe the stitchinglines of a football on eachstrawberry.

Serve with other sweetitems on your table.

One of my favoritedips for football gamesis to spread one packageof cream cheese on thebottom of a pie plate.

Follow with a little storebought salsa and fresh-diced jalapeno peppers.

Top it all off withshredded mozzarella andcheddar cheese and place itin a 350 degree oven for 10to 15 minutes or until thecheese is bubbly.

Serve with taco chips.It’s a simple dip but a

real crowd pleaser.Lastly, same-day football

pools are always fun for acrowd.

Look for simple gridgame ideas on the Internetfor game day that willinvolve all of your guests(football fans or not) onthe big day.

And let’s all hope theSeattle Seahawks win thebig game. Go Hawks!

You know an issue isimportant and resonatingwhen teenagers getinvolved.

After all, how manyteenagers would care enoughto become involved in theissue of genetically modifiedorganisms or GMOs? Andhow many teenagers wouldtake the risk of puttingthemselves at the front ofthe debate while taking onBig Ag and government?There’s only one teenagerthat I know in Canada whohas shown the courage andvision to take on the job. Hername is Rachel Parent, a 15-year-old anti-GMO activistfrom Ontario.

I first discovered Parentwhen she appeared onCBC’s The Lang andO’Leary Exchange. Parentheard former Dragons’Denstar Kevin O’Leary say that,“People who oppose GMOsshould stop eating so wecould get rid of them.”

So, Parent challenged

O’Leary to have her on theshow to debate the issue.Stop for a moment andthink about that challenge.Would you go up againstAmanda Lang and KevinO’Leary at the sametime in any debate?Theirvisceral on-air debate canbe found here, youtube.com/watch?v=HIXER_yZUBg.

If you want to see a veryyoung, female “David”take on “Goliath” andwin, watch this video.Parent was verbally drilled,

sometimes condescendedto and occasionally insultedby O’Leary and to a lesserextent by Lang during theinterview.

Parent demonstratedincredible poise, focus andmaturity beyond her years. Ihave never seen any teenagerbesides MalalaYousafzaistand up for a cause anddebate in such a professionaland articulate manner.

I felt sorry for Parentafter watching that interview.She is so young and couldnot have known what shewas getting herself into.Yetshe was incredibly strong,informed and intelligent butshe seemed all alone andoutgunned by Lang andattacked by O’Leary. In myview, Parent won the debatewhile outsmarting heradversaries whom have yearsof experience on her.

It’s no secret that with the North Shore’s moist climate,local roofs have to be able to withstand a lot of punishment.Whether you have cedar or fibreglass shingles, sooner or laterthey will need to be replaced.

Today, brothers Avtarand Kerry Samra run the business and haveassembled a skilled team of craftsmen toinstall their specialty: cedar roofing.

“Our specialty is cedar shake roofing,” saysAvtar. “The natural resilience of cedar shakesand shingles protects against whatevernature throws at it. We’re known for ourquality workmanship. Our cedar installershave been with us for over 30 years and theyunderstand how to get the job done properly.”

If you are interested in cedar or fibreglass shingles, Samra’sdecades of experience can help you get the job done ontime and on budget.

“Among the types of roofing available, we offer a range ofheavyweight organic fibreglass shingles.Their handsomegeometric appearance and construction provides excellentresistance to wind lifting and blow offs without the need forspecial adhesives.”

All of our fiberglass shingles are laminated toprovide a remarkable dimensional thickness,not only for strength, durability, and weatherresistance, but also to create an extraordinarilybeautiful look for your home.

in a presentation entitled,Why you have the right toknow what’s in your food.Her website, kidsrighttoknow.com, provides some goodinformation about the issueof GMOs.

Parent has even managedto get a meeting withRona Ambrose, the federalMinister of Health. Parenthas also gained the supportof NDP MP Murray RankinforVictoria who put forwarda motion in the House ofCommons calling for themandatory labelling offood products containingingredients that havebeen genetically modified.Rankin’s motion M-480states:That, in the opinion ofthe House, the governmentshould introduce mandatorylabelling of food productscontaining ingredientsthat have been geneticallymodified. Please email yourMP to support this motion.

You are what you eat,and if that is true then I ama herbicide tolerant, insectresistant and modified

version of a human. Ifyou eat corn, soy, canola,zucchini or sugar beets inany form you are also amodified human.Thosecrops are widely found insome form in the grocerystore and are known asGMOs.

Do you know what yourchildren are eating? Doyour children have allergiesor digestive problems?Theissue of GMOs in our foodsystem has been with usfor more than 20 years.Consumers still don’t havethe right of choice becausecompanies are not requiredto provide the informationfor consumers to make achoice. GMO foods are notlabelled in Canada or theUnited States, in contrastto 64 other countries(including Australia, Japan,Russia, China and allcountries in the EuropeanUnion), that do have GMOlabelling laws.

Among the many halftruths put forward by BigAg companies regardingGMOs, there’s the centralclaim that GMOs will

increase crop yield tofeed the world’s growingpopulation. A studyconducted by Doug Gurian-Sherman in the UnitedStates, released in 2009 andentitled Failure toYield,found that after geneticallymodified crops werecommercialized, yields fromGMO soy and corn did notincrease more than zero totwo per cent over a 13-yearperiod. Similar performancefailures of GMO crops havebeen demonstrated in India,China and South America.

The second lie aboutGMOs is that less pesticideor herbicide will be requiredto grow such crops.Thespraying of the herbicideRoundup on cropsgenetically modified totolerate Roundup sprayinghas increased by 527 millionpounds in the United Statesover the past 16 years. InArgentina, cultivation ofGMO soy has increasedRoundup use from eightmillion litres in 1995 tomore than 200 million litresin 2013, according to theCanadian Biotechnology

Action Network website,cban.ca. Other facts thatare being withheld fromthe public include theevolution of super-weedsresistant to Roundup andother herbicides. And the

emergence of super insectsresistant to many pesticides.

Our children are whatthey eat. I avoid, wherepossible, feeding my childrenGMOs, or feeding themfood sprayed with pesticides.

I strongly encourage allparents to do the same.Todd Major is a journeymanhorticulturist, garden designerand builder, teacher andorganic [email protected]

PARENTING

Kathy LynnParentingToday

Prepare for emergenciesnow to reduce stress laterFirst aid is something weknow we have to thinkabout but somehow itnever seems to make it tothe top of our to-do list.

We know that ourkids can get sick or haveaccidents and we worryabout whether we will beprepared. So, make 2015the year you actually getyour act together.

I recently read anewsletter from AliceJungclaus who is a formerNorth Shore resident nowliving in Switzerland. Sheis a PCI Certified ParentCoach and internationaleducator.You can find Aliceat globalwiseparenting.com.

Her topic was first aidand she has great tips forparents who want to beprepared. She notes thatyou can be prepared forfamily emergencies andaccidents and furthersuggests that being readywill reduce your stress.

Her first tip is to takea first aid course. I spoketo the local Red Crossand they said they offer afull range of certificationclasses from CPR LevelC, Emergency First AidChildcare to Standard FirstAid.These certification

courses run from threeto 16 hours in length andare taught by Red Crossor Lifesaving Societyinstructors.They also offershorter and more flexiblechild/infant CPR seminarswhich are designedespecially for busy parents:link2life.ca/our-courses/infant-cpr.

Their infant CPRseminars are usually twohours in length, but privategroups can request morecontent if they have moretime or if they want to focuson different topics like firstaid.They have two classesavailable monthly at theiroffice in EastVancouver at544Victoria Dr. and theyorganize classes with parentgroups and families all the

time at private residencesor businesses. In thesespecial parent classes theyfocus on managementand prevention of chokingfor infant and toddlerpatients and when theyhave extra time they coverbasic hands-only CPR andplayground first aid (cutsand scrapes, burns, boneand joint injuries, headinjuries).

And to make this evenmore possible, readers ofthis column can receive adiscount. Simply use thecoupon code “lullaby”which brings the cost downfrom $35 to $30 for oneperson or from $60 to $50for two people registeringtogether.

Taking a first aid coursewill give you confidencethat you can handlewhatever accident couldhappen to your child

The second tip is tocreate (or update) your firstaid kits. It’s a good idea tohave one in a main part ofthe house and another inthe car.That way you’realways ready to handle cuts,insect stings or bites orscrapes from falls.

Next, systematize yourdocument storage.The time

when you will need all yourimportant documents islikely to be a time of highstress and the last thing youneed to be doing is lookingthrough files, drawers andtrunks to find all the papersyou need.

Filing cabinets arecommon organizing toolsfor paper documents.Keeping files up to dateand ready to work withat all times can be atedious exercise. But it isworth it when you needthe materials. Effectiveorganized filing requiresa consistent system thatworks anytime and all thetime. If you already have asystem that works for youand keeps your files tidyand highly organized year-round — congratulations!You’re ready to instantlyfind documents that anorganization or individualmight require.

If you need a littlesupport to get organizedJungclaus recommendsTheFreedomFiler filing system.She explains that it’s aproduct created for thosewho want to focus more oftheir time and attention on

PARENTING

other aspects of life but stillwant to have files organizedand ready for effectiveuse year-round.The timesaved from reorganizingand shredding unnecessarydocuments with this toolcan be worth a lot.Youwill feel ready to quicklyand effectively deal withwhatever documentationan unexpected familyemergency may require.

Put basic informationin wallets or purses. If yourchild is going to be on herown or with a sitter it’s

important that emergencypersonnel have access to thecritical information neededto facilitate their care.Youcould have your child carrya wallet with informationin a small pocket on theirbackpack or in a wallet ifthey are older. I don’t thinkyou should put your child’saddress or last name on anemergency wallet card. Formany parents, simply notingthe child’s first name,emergency contact numbersand vital medical life-savinginformation is sufficient.

Some examples of whatis important for emergency

response personnel to knoware: blood type, allergies,pre-existing medicalconditions and medicationstaken.

Once you’ve thoughtthrough basic first aid needsand put systems in placeyou can relax and get onwith your life.

Bluhouse Market andCafe harks back to asimpler time whenfood shops offeredseasonal, locally sourcedprovisions to theircustomers rather than 20aisles of mass-producedgoods hailing from everycorner of the globe.

Walking into Bluhouseone recent weekday mid-morning with my wife DJand the newest addition tothe Dagenais clan, BabyN, I felt like I could havebeen an early settler inthe Old West.The interiordesign of Bluhouse, ahybrid cafe and food mart,is farmhouse chic, withmatte blue wooden chairs,exposed beams, andknotted tables.

The room, which hasonly been around sincelate summer of last year,still feels a little austerein its early days, with itsminimalist decor and wideopen space, but simpleshelving units and displaysthroughout the cafe holdselect foods and sundriesfor sale, and help establishBluhouse’s identity as apurveyor of local, organicgoods.

I like the idea ofwalking into a smallcommunity marketlike this and letting theavailable ingredientsdictate what I cook andeat. Such an approach toshopping would certainly

ensure that my mealswere made from freshand seasonal produce.Instead, I (and most otherpeople) tend to identifythe most immediate mealcraving and then promptlysource the items necessaryto realize it.We rarelyencounter an obstacle inthis undertaking.

Right now, at the localbig box, I could buy apineapple, for example, aswell as strawberries, figs,bananas and all manner ofother things from abroadthat wouldn’t withstanda single Canadian winter.Of course, the trade offto shopping at a small,seasonally driven market isthat I must resign myself

to the fact that every whimand appetite I conjurecannot be instantly sated.

That said, it is clearlynot Bluhouse’s ambitionto displace the nearestsupermarket, but ratherto support local suppliersand remind us of theimportance of good qualityingredients that we canfeel good about buying.

Indeed, one wouldbe hard pressed to fillmultiple shopping bagswith food from thismarket, as availablegoods are limited to a fewcarefully selected items,including farm fresh milk,eggs and butter, producelike yams and bell peppers,and staples like organic

sugar, cheese, pasta andpulses.

As Bluhouse co-ownerJennifer McCarthy says,“There is pretty mucha story behind everyingredient.”

One such storiedingredient is milkfrom the Farm HouseCheese Shoppe, awhole, pasteurized butunhomogenized artisanalmilk produced in smallbatches in Agassiz.Themilk, which is not strippedbare of the nutrients andfaintly sweet richness thatmade this dairy productappealing to humans in thefirst place, yields a frothyand delicious latte, thebest I have had in recent

memory.In addition to coffee,

which is supplied byNorth Shore cult superstarroaster Moja Coffee, thecafe side of the Bluhousebusiness is as equallythoughtful and reservedin its offerings as itsmarket cousin, featuringa small menu of house-made smoothies, sweetand savoury crepes, andvarious baked goods fromsources such as Gretchen’sHere and Now Bakery,another organically-minded local business.

IN HONOUR OF

Julia Parrott

When Antonio Sauro, Doug Grisdale and Rob Parrott openedMangia E Bevi in 2007 they wanted their restaurant to give backto the community. Cancer was a shared experience amongstthe partners; all their families had been touched. Doug’s motherand Antonio’s mother-in-law, Daphne Grisdale had died fromcancer in July 2006 and Rob Parrott’s 10-year old daughterJulia had been battling cancer for 3 years.

From this, BACIO, which means “kiss” in Italian, was developedto support the fight against cancer. Since 2008 BACIO hasraised $235,000 benefiting onconology research at BCChildren’s Hospital and the Lions Gate Hospital oncology clinic.

The Swiss really have thewhole primary educationthing mastered — there’sreading, writing,arithmetic and freeride.

That, at least, is how itturned out for Liam Peifferwhen his family movedfrom his birthplace in Utahto a small mountain villagein Switzerland when he wasnine years old. Already analpine ski racer from histime in the States, Peifferwas excited to learn whathe’d be doing in his Swisselementary school.

“Every Tuesday andThursday in the winter,(physical educationclass) was skiing,” saysPeiffer. His teacher wasinto freeride skiing — atechnique that takes youoff the groomed trails andinto harder-to-reach areaslooking for fresh powder.

“It was pretty scary,”Peiffer says about thosefirst forays into thefamously daunting Alps.“I got to see some of thebigger mountains and skisome of the bigger resortsand it really opened upmy eyes.That’s when I putaway the race gear and

picked up my powder skis.”Peiffer’s family only

stayed in Switzerland for acouple of years — they nextmoved to West Vancouverand have stayed there since— but it was long enoughto inspire a passion forfreeride skiing in the youngathlete.

Now a Grade 12 studentat Rockridge, Peiffer hasfollowed that passionall the way to a berthin the Freeride Junior

World Championshipsscheduled for Feb. 7 atthe Grandvalira resort inAndorra, Spain. Peifferand two other Canadianswill compete in a field of60 of the top junior freeskiers from around theworld.The competitionwill see the racers hike upa mountain for 30 minutesbefore skiing a run thatwill be rated by a panelof judges who are scoringin categories such as line

choice, fluidity, style andenergy, and technique.So what type of terrain is17-year-old Peiffer hopingto see?

“Just picture a big, steepface — with cliffs,” he says.“Something that looks notski-able. I like to find a wayto ski it.”

Cliffs, in fact, are amust-have item if you hopeto make your run standout, he said. Drops can beas long as 40-60 feet.

“If you hit no cliffs,there’s a good chance youwon’t qualify. . . . Hittingcliffs is a must. Even doingtricks off of cliffs is a mustsometimes,” he says, addingthat there’s nothing quitelike jumping off a 60-footcliff on skis. “You go off,you see where you’re goingto land and you realize(you) are very high up. Andthen you start to hear the

wind rushing past you.Youcan’t hear yourself, butthen you definitely havetime to think. It almostfeels like you’re in slowmotion because you havetime to think.”

Then comes the landingwhich is accompanied bykind of a dark thud, saysPeiffer — you never reallysee the landing so much asexperience it.

“The landing issomething you never reallyremember,” he says. “It’sa really unique feeling tobe falling that far and thentrying to land.”

There is, of course,an element of danger tocarving down a steep, rockycliff face on skis.

Peiffer had his scariestexperience just a coupleof weeks ago when he wasSnowcat skiing with agroup near Revelstoke.Thegroup finished a run andnoticed that one skier wasno longer with them.Theywent back up, skied therun again and found the

missing skier buried underthe snow, unconscious butalive.

“It was truly a wake-upcall that even the snowpack is something that cankill you,” says Peiffer. “Shedidn’t even have that big ofa crash. She just got stuckunder the snow, couldn’tget her way out and passedout.”

Peiffer does a lot ofdryland training to makesure his body is preparedto handle whatever amountain can throw at him

“Hitting a 40-foot air isno easy task on the legs,”he says. “If you’re skiingas hard as you can for thatentire run, you get to thebottom and your legs feellike Jell-O.”

While the concept offree ride has been aroundas long as there havebeen mountains, skisand people crazy enoughto say, “Hey let’s climbup and ski down,” freeride competitions arerelatively new, particularlyfor juniors.There was nofunding to pay for Peiffer’s

trip to the world juniorsso he started a campaignwith makeachamp.comand was able to quicklyraise enough money fromfriends, family, sponsorsand anonymous supportersto get him to Spain.

“I couldn’t be morethankful for that,” hesays, adding that he can’twait to represent Canadainternationally. “It’s prettyawesome, to be honest. Ijust hope I don’t mess up.”

The concept of freeride skiing comes from anethos that is much differentthan the highly competitiveworld of alpine racing, butonce a competition startsPeiffer has one goal inmind.

“Win. Plain andsimple,” he says. “In thedays leading up to thecompetition, everybody isfriends, everybody is skiingtogether, having fun on andoff the hill. Just chilling.And then as soon as wehave to compete it’s like,‘Good luck man. Hope youdo well.’ . . . It’s game on.There’s no friends.”
