Residents in several areasof NorthVancouver spentTuesday digging out froma swamp of mud androcks, shifting sandbagsand pumping out theirbasements after a heavyrainfall caused creeks tooverflow their banks andturned quiet streets intorivers Monday night.

Up to 17 homes wereevacuated and at least20 homes suffered waterdamage. Mud and waterfrom Hastings Creekalso washed into ArgyleSecondary, damagingabout eight classrooms andshutting the schoolTuesday.

Most residents wereallowed back into theirhomes onTuesday — insome cases after districtcrews dug paths through themud to their front doors.Argyle was expected to re-open onWednesday after acrew of about 30 worked toclean up the flood damage.

Flooding started justbefore 10 p.m. Mondaynight after about 20millimetres of rain fell in justtwo hours.

Mark Schmidt, who liveson Croft Road, said he wasdriving down his street atabout 9:30 p.m. Mondaynight when he noticeda culvert was starting tooverflow on to FrommeRoad. “In the next fewminutes it got exponentiallyworse,” he said, bringingboulders and trees with hugeamounts of water on to thenearby streets.

District fire crews andutilities staff arrived andtried to divert the flow

of water but “they reallycouldn’t do much,” saidSchmidt. “The waterwas just overpoweringeverything.”

“On the low side of CroftRoad there was a lot of waterdumping into basements.”

Crews spent the nighttrying to clear culverts andusing sandbags, backhoesand lock blocks to try toredirect water away fromhomes.

“I’ve never seen the waterthat high in Hastings Creek,”said Roxanne Davies, wholives a block behind Argyleschool. “I didn’t sleep allnight.”

Mike Cairns, assistantfire chief for the District ofNorthVancouver, said whencrews arrived at FrommeRoad around 10 p.m. “It wasjust a river.There was sixto eight inches of rocks andeight to 12 inches of watergoing down there.”

Crews began evacuatingsome homes on Frommeand Croft roads. Mostresidents went to spendthe night with friends orrelatives.

“There’s probably atleast 20 houses affectedwith some water in theirbasement,” he said. “Someare very substantial damage.Some had two to three feetof water in them.”

Houses on Kilmer andFromme were some of themost affected.

Liz Bell, principal ofArgyle, said she got a calland arrived at the schoolaround 11 p.m. Mondaynight. “We had water cominginto the building,” she said.Two wings of classrooms

Crews remove 20 truckloads of debris— including the specialeducation rooms and musicwing — had water andmud flow into them. “Itwas spread over a very largearea,” she said.

Cairns said the problemstarted when a catch basinthat normally drains into alarge pipe to Lynn Creekbecame blocked by debrisbrought down by heavyrains.

By morning, districtcrews had dug out andtrucked away about 20tandem dump truck loads ofdirt and debris.

Similar situations ofplugged culverts, andcreeks overflowing theirbanks caused flooding inat least five different areasof the district, includingneighbourhoods nearDempsey, Grousewoods andDeep Cove, he said.

Further drama wascreated around midnightwhen a tree fell over on PlattCrescent, uprooting liveunderground electrical wiresand tearing a gas line as itwent down. “We evacuatedeight houses there,” saidCairns.

ByTuesday morning,LynnValley residents werebeginning to dig out, manyof them arriving with shovelsand wearing rubber bootsas they worked to help theirneighbours.

Jane Ruegger was oneof them. “It wasn’t until wecame out walking our dogs

that we saw what was goingon,” she said. “We thoughtwe’d pitch in and help.”

District of NorthVancouver Mayor RichardWalton said that’s typical ofLynnValley. “Neighboursare immediately in themiddle of the street helpingneighbours,” he said.

Walton was out earlyTuesday morning, visitingsome of the residents whosehomes had the

worst flooding.Two houses on Kilmer

were extensively damaged.“There are people who arehurting today,” he said. “It’snot the way one expects tospend a night and wake upin the morning.”

Walton said people inNorthVancouver are alwayson high alert during heavyrains, and remember all toowell the Berkley landslideand previous floods that

resulted in loss of life.Engineers were out

Tuesday to assess thedamage. ButWalton saidit’s too early to tell how badthat’s going to be. “We couldend up with a significantamount of road surfacingand sidewalk rebuilding,” hesaid.

Chris Hough, who liveson Croft, said watching thewhole event was a sharpreminder of the power ofMother Nature.

“It was really mindboggling to watch the wholething unfold,” he said.“You don’t appreciate theforce behind water untilyou see something like thathappening.”

Dear Editor:Going through my

backlog issues of the NorthShore News, I’ve comeacross your “Afforda-BULL” (Oct. 19) editorialon affordable housing.

I’d like to offer theperspective that “affordablehousing” is a mirage — allin the eye of the beholder.What is affordable to oneperson is not affordable toanother, and this is trueregardless of the price.The

only thing that everyonecan afford is somethingthat is free of charge. Assoon as you put a priceon it, you push it out ofthe reach of someone.For that person, it is nolonger affordable. Sowhen we come up with anarbitrary number that is“affordable,” all we havereally done is identifywhich people we regard asour friends — those we’dlike to help.

With affordablehousing, what we’re reallytalking about is using thegovernment’s power ofcoercion to thwart the aimsof people we disapproveof and to subsidize peoplewe approve of.The NorthShore News, to judge byyour editorial, approvesof “young couples” anddisapproves of foreigners,“the world’s wealthy,” andinvestors. And you wouldlike governments and

politicians to share yourlove for the former andyour antipathy to the latter,and to translate thosefeelings into interventionsin the market.

But the market isnot evil; it is (ideallyanyway) the place wherefree people enter intovoluntary agreements witheach other. Fraud andcoercion — including thosepractised by government— are what ruin markets,

and, I would say, humanlife generally. If foreignersand investors are buyingup North Shore housing,then presumably it’s beingturned into rental stock.Your beloved hypotheticalyoung couple might bemoving in next doorafter all, but without themillstone of a giganticmortgage around theirnecks.Paul VitolsNorth Vancouver

I’ll showyoumineThere’s been a somewhat heartening

trend this go-around in municipalelections.Vancouver’s civic parties

have effectively dared each other intorevealing their campaign donor listsbefore Nov. 15.

Here on the North Shore, City ofNorth Vancouver mayoral candidateGeorge Pringle has been posting hiscampaign contributions and expensesonline in real time (yes, there’s adeveloper in there). And fellowchallenger Kerry Morris has sworn he’lltake no union or developer cash to fundhis campaign. Other candidates forcouncil are doing the same or both.

We applaud this.We will always comedown on the side of transparency.

But of course, all of these are half-measures when compared to what oughtto be happening. Only the provincehas the authority to create sensible andbinding limits on who can donate and

how much money politicians can spendto get elected.

We’ve castigated the province formissing the opportunity to do thisbefore this election and we’ll continueto prod them to get things in order intime for the next one.

In the meantime, don’t be afraid toask candidates how they’re financingtheir campaigns.They’ll probably beglad to get some face time with you.

But at the same time, be preparedto ask some other intelligent questionsabout — say — zoning, municipalservices, transportation,TransLink,recreation, parks, affordable housing,amalgamation, waste reduction,infrastructure, public safety, taxes,openness and accountability oranything else in the constellation ofissues our next council will have to dealwith.

In the end, those will matter far more.

VIEWPOINT

‘Affordable’ a relative term

Dear Editor:Almost an overflow of

opinions in the media missan important priority.Tohave cycling paths or notto have them is a minorissue.The government

and/or ICBC must addressthe need for mandatorylicensing and insurance forcyclists.There have beenat least four recent seriousincidents of injury caused topedestrians by a cyclist. In

most cases, the cyclists donot have insurance, whichputs a lot of costly stressupon the pedestrian. Cyclistsshould be treated exactlythe same as a motorist.Theyneed to be trained, tested,

licensed (with an ID plate),then insured.They shouldalso be policed. Riding onsidewalks, using pedestriancrossings to avoid a redlight and refusing to wearhelmets should be penalized

in the same way a motorist ispenalized. If cyclists wish formore respect, they must alsoaccept the responsibility thatearns respect.Harry MayorWestVancouver

It’s time to train, test and license cyclists on our roads

Dear Editor:There are angels among

us. My wife was havinglunch with our daughter,a daughter-in-law and fivegrandchildren at Red Robinon Sept. 22 when a middle-aged man approached her.He told her that she had awonderful family. He saidnothing more, paid the billand left a $25 gift certificate.My wife tried to thank him,but he was gone.

Poppy a symbol of remembrancenotwarDear Editor:

As a member of the RoyalCanadian Legion, I spent theweekend giving out poppiesand collecting donations.

It seems, however, thatnot everyone knows what thelegion’s poppy campaign isall about.

Most importantly,Canadians wear the poppyon the left lapel to honour allsoldiers who put their liveson the line at their country’scall in the various conflictsover the last century.The poppy is a symbol ofrespect for those veteransstill alive and it shows ourcommitment to rememberthose who are not.

The legion’s poppycampaign uses the donationsyou make to help yourcommunity.The funds areused for many programssuch as scholarships andbursaries, amateur sports,community programs,assistance to seniors andassistance to veterans of allages and their families.

A few people mentionedthat they did not want apoppy as it supported war.Nothing could be furtherfrom the truth.

The poppy is a symbolof remembrance, not war,and the best example of thissymbolism is the CanadianNationalVimy Memorial atVimy Ridge, Pas-de-Calais,France.This magnificentmonument commemoratesthe fallen soldiers of warand is not a symbol ofwar, victory or conflict butremembrance and peace

just like the poppy. Duringthe SecondWorldWar theGerman army knew exactlywhat the monument stoodfor and surrounded thememorial with a platoonofWaffen SS for the entireconflict to protect thesite from German andallied armies.The site wasuntouched during theSecondWorldWar.

So please wear a poppywith pride and honour,remember those who havefallen and those still alivewho served in conflictsaround the world with theaim of making this world abetter place for all.

“FOR A BETTER TOMORROW”

MORRIS FOR MAYORAs all of you who attended the Centennial Theatre debateknow, I have become the subject of an attack campaign.

While it is true that one candidate has led the attack, he hasnot acted alone. He has had support from the other candidatein this mayoral race.

In reply to the mud-slinging, I have now posted a video on myweb site which answers all these allegations directly, as theyhave been levelled against me. I encourage all of you to havea look at that video.http://youtu.be/Aw6-GhaYsyk

It is my hope that we can now bring this campaign backto the issues which are most important to City residents.I believe our community wants answers to the very realproblems which confront us, not just another example ofchildish political behaviour.

Residents of the NorthShore may very well bethe happiest in the regionthanks to a host of naturaland cultural attractions,according to a recentAngus Reid Global survey.

With the diverse activitiesfrom the mountains to theocean and everything elsein between, 54 per centof North Shore residentsrated the North Shore asan excellent place to live— compared to the regionalaverage of 33 per cent.Theonline survey polled 1,100MetroVancouver residents.

Gail Roxburgh has livedon the North Shore for50 years and said she isn’tinterested in living anywhereelse. “It still seems specialafter 50 years,” she said.“I think it’s everything.The mountains.The water.Everything. If you’re sportyit’s a wonderful place.”

About 81 per cent polledrated the North Shore asbeing either an excellent orgood place to raise children.And 91 per cent of thosepolled were enthusiasticabout the number of parks

nearby and variety ofoutdoor activities.

Roxburgh agreed.She said living in Deep

Cove proved to be a greatplace to raise her familywith accessible recreationfacilities, parks and schools.

“The whole NorthShore is beautiful,” she said.“Overall, I love being in aplace that’s close to nature.

When you come home,seeing all the trees, you feellike you’re going to a speciallittle place.”

Community safety alsoreceived a high mark with 85per cent rating it as excellentor good.The regionalaverage was just 49 percent.

However, North Shoreresidents were less keenabout the cost of living.

While 71 per cent believedit’s worth every penny tolive in the area, 89 per centof those polled felt housingprices were too expensive forthe average resident. Morethan half considered movingdue to affordability issues.

The online poll had amargin of error of plus/minus three per cent, 19times out of 20.

Crownwants jail formoney [email protected]

A prosecutor is asking thata 31-year-old man whopleaded guilty to takingpart in a fraud and moneylaundering scheme thatbilked several North Shorebanks of half a milliondollars be sent to jail foralmost two years.

Crown counsel John Nealasked for the sentence afterIan Anthony Gillis pleadedguilty in NorthVancouverprovincial court to threecharges of fraud and onecharge of money launderingin connection with a schemeto rip off several banks onthe North Shore in 2012.

The scheme involvedtaking stolen commercialcheques for large amountsof money that originatedinToronto, forgingcorporate documents forthe companies to openbusiness bank accounts anddepositing the cheques. Gilliswould then either withdrawthe cash or wire it to offshore

accounts before the bankscaught on.

The overall scheme,which took place at banksacross the Lower Mainland,involved allegedly defraudingbanks of about $2.3 million.Of that, close to $1 million isstill missing.

Gillis is one of fourpeople charged in the case.He is not alleged to be themastermind behind theplan, said lawyers, but wasrecruited to take part in thescheme by a friend.

At the time — betweenMay and July of 2012— Gillis was in dire financialstraits. Both he and histhen-fiancée had been laidoff from their jobs and wereplanning a wedding. Heagreed to take part out offinancial desperation, saidhis lawyer.

Neal said Gillis tookpart in four of the scheme’s11 incidents, includingopening accounts anddepositing cheques atToronto Dominion, RoyalBank, Bank of Montreal

and ScotiaBank branches inNorth andWestVancouver.

The stolen chequesdeposited by Gillis rangedfrom amounts of justover $109,000 to one for$273,000, for a total of justover $767,000.

The banks lost about$493,000 of that money,including $390,000 thatGillis wired to offshoreaccounts in Switzerland,Spain and Uganda beforethe fraud was discovered.Gillis also withdrew $36,000in cash.

Neal said given themoney laundering and largeamounts of money involved,Gillis should go to jail.

Gillis’s defence lawyerDavidThomas askedthe judge to consider aconditional sentence of 18months to two years, to beserved under house arrest.

Gillis was, “strugglingwith a heavy financialburden,” when he took partin the scheme saidThomas.

Thomas said Gillis made“an extremely serious error

in judgment” in a “desperateattempt” to pull himself outof a financial hole. “He wasliterally at the bottom of thepyramid,” saidThomas. “Hetook on a substantial riskwith very little reward.”

Most of the cash Gilliswithdrew was passed on toothers, saidThomas.

Nathan Bazett Lawrence,

31, of Richmond, pleadedguilty to one charge of fraudover $5,000 earlier thissummer and was handedan eight-month conditionalsentence in the case.

Robert Irama, 42, allegedto be the mastermind ofthe operation, faces 13charges of fraud and moneylaundering. He is being held

in custody. A date for trialhas not been fixed.

David Hanson, 31, ofVancouver has also beencharged in the case but hasnot yet been arrested. Nealsaid outside of court he isbelieved to be outside thecountry.

The sentencing hearingfor Gillis continues Dec. 2.

Edgemont flasher suspect arrestedNorthVancouver RCMPhave arrested the manthey say is responsible forsexually propositioningthree teenaged girls in theEdgemontVillage area andthen exposing himself tohis victims.

Police warned the publicafter two such incidentsinvolving girls aged 15 to 17on Oct. 29 on RidgewoodDrive and EdgemontBoulevard.

After receiving a tip fromthe public that includedthe suspect’s licenceplate number, RCMPmembers arrested a 28-year-old on Friday and arerecommending one charge

of committing an indecentact.

“It speaks to publicsafety and especially thevulnerability of our youth.It’s something we all takeseriously,” said Cpl. Richard

De Jong, NorthVancouverRCMP spokesman. Policeare not saying where thesuspect is from but willconfirm he does not live inNorthVancouver.

CANDIDATES FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEE

INCUMBENT

Candidatesoppose [email protected]

Citing environmental and economic risks, at least 27North Shore council and mayoralty candidates opposedKinder Morgan’s planned pipeline expansion in a survey byenvironmental group No Oil Pipeline Expansion.

If the enhancement of the 981-kilometreTrans Mountainpipeline running between Edmonton, Alta. and Burnaby isapproved, Kinder Morgan can nearly triple oil exports from300,000 to 890,000 barrels a day.Traffic in the harbour wouldincrease from five to 34 oil tankers each month.

Of 28 respondents, only City of NorthVancouver councilcandidate Iani Makris refrained from answering the question onwhether he supports the expansion. “I know that this is an issuethat I plan to be involved and proactive about,” he wrote.

NOPE’s survey asked candidates if they believe the ongoingNational Energy Board hearings will be fair.The questionnairealso inquired if an increase in transportation of diluted bitumen is“consistent with your vision of a green and healthy community?”

The strong currents below the Ironworkers Memorial SecondNarrows Crossing may exacerbate the challenge of dealing with aspill, according to City of NorthVancouver Coun. Pam Bookham.“I toured theWestern Canada Marine Response (Corp.’s) facilityin Burnaby,” she wrote. “I left with little confidence in our abilityto handle a spill. ...The technology does not exist to deal with theproduct.”

The NEB hearings should feature experts in toxicology, statedcity council candidate Ali Mallakin, who expressed concernsabout degrading petroleum following a spill. “The long term effectof these types of contaminations may be seen in the geneticallyaffected individuals in the future.”

Several candidates offered a negative appraisal of the NEBhearings.While District ofWestVancouver Coun. Nora Gambiolistated that the hearings have been “flawed from the beginning,”District of NorthVancouver council candidate Len Laycockoffered a harsher appraisal, dubbing the hearings “a sham.”

“The next generation will label this a crime,” Laycock stated.WestVancouver council candidate Max Clough concurred.“Pipelines are being forced down our throats,” Clough wrote.Both City of NorthVancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto and

challenger Kerry Morris opposed the expansion.“The NEB will do as Mr. Harper tells them,” wrote Morris.Morris, who worked for Imperial Oil before starting his own

business as an energy consultant, said the project’s financialliabilities amount to an unreasonable burden for B.C. taxpayers.

Council candidateTonyValente agreed, citing Kinder Morgan’sinability to compensate homeowners in the event of a large spill.

“That means costs will fall on all levels of government andtherefore taxpayers.This is unacceptable.”

District of NorthVancouver council candidate Amelia Hillnoted the potential for environmental devastation at MaplewoodMudflats and Indian Arm.

City of NorthVancouver Couns. Craig Keating and LindaBuchanan offered nearly identical responses, each noting thelack of discussion centring on an energy strategy that, “allowsus to transition off fossil fuels so we can meet our necessary(greenhouse gas emission) reduction goals.”

The opposition to a liquefied natural gas plant southwest ofdowntown Squamish was similarly uniform, according to a surveyby non-profit environmental group Propeller Strategy.

Out of 31 politicians in six municipalities surrounding HoweSound, only two Squamish council candidates wrote in favour ofthe plant moving forward.

Gambioli and council candidates Mallakin, CarolanneReynolds and Michael Evison each opposed the project.

WestVancouver council unanimously called for a ban oftankers in Howe Sound in September.

Novemberbirds inabundance

Maple leaves ablazewith colour, crisp coolmornings and a wealth ofbirds — that’s November.

One of the bigchanges in mid-autumnis the number of waterbirds — it can be quitedramatic. Aquatic speciesare seen in ever-increasingnumbers in both marineand freshwater habitats.

Species like thecommon loon breed oninterior fresh water lakes,spending the winter onthe coast.This is alsotrue of red-necked,horned and westerngrebes.These birds losetheir summer (breeding)plumages, which canmake identification a littlemore challenging. Forexample, the commonloon will lose its necklace,the red-necked grebe’sneck becomes grey and thehorned grebe has no horns(really feather tufts).

Waterfowl that breedon interior freshwaterlakes now move intosouthwestern B.C. forthe winter. Numbersof dabbling ducks,like northern pintails,green-winged teal andAmerican wigeon buildup through November atthe Conservation Areaat Maplewood’s tidal

(mud) flats. It’s fun toscan through the flocks ofAmerican wigeon to spota rare Eurasian wigeon.One or more Eurasians areoften mixed with the flocksof Americans — a hybridis also possible.

Diving ducks, likebufflehead, commongoldeneye, Barrow’sgoldeneye and greaterscaup are usually spottedin deeper waters offBurrard Inlet.Thebeautiful ring-neckedduck and gorgeoushooded merganser aremore commonly seenon freshwater pondsat Maplewood andAmbleside.The lovelyrainbow coloured woodduck, a resident species,should also be looked forin freshwater habitats.The colourful harlequinduck breeds along fast-flowing mountain streamsin summer, spending itswinters in marine habitatslike Burrard Inlet.Watchfor it at Maplewood, CatesPark or Ambleside Park,

diving for small crabs.Shorebirds have

already passed throughthe North Shore on theirway to wintering groundsas far away as SouthAmerica, but a few stay.At Maplewood, watchfor dunlin and greateryellowlegs on the uppershore of Maplewood’smud flats. Killdeer andWilson’s snipe are two

resident shorebirds thatshould be watched for aswell.

Gulls are always fun,and sometimes a challengeto identify. Our commonglaucous-winged gull,for example, hybridizeswith other gulls, likethe western, which issometimes known as theOlympic gull. A commongull along Maplewood’s

shores is the delicatemew gull, but watch alsofor ring-billed,Thayer’sand California gulls.Interestingly there is nogull called the sea gull.

Any place birds gatherthere are predators, bothmammalian and avian.November (and in factall winter) is a good timeto watch for the red-tailed hawk, peregrinefalcon, merlin and baldeagle, often perched onoffshore dolphins. Smallducks, dunlin and pigeonsare favourite prey of theperegrine falcon locally,and to watch it hunt canbe very dramatic indeed.

Small birds, like dark-eyed juncos, have nowmoved back to the NorthShore in good numbersalong with golden-crowned, white-crowned,and fox sparrows.You mayalso be lucky enough tospot a rare white-throatedsparrow, especially at abird feeder.

Enjoy November’s birdsand keep safe.

Al Grass is a naturalist withWild Bird Trust of BritishColumbia, which offers freewalks at the ConservationArea at Maplewood Flats onthe second Saturday of everymonth.The next walk willbe Saturday, Nov. 8 startingat 10 a.m. Participants willlook for wintering waterfowland sparrows.

Fall garden tasks aboundFalling into Novemberfinds good work in thegarden.

For gardeners it’s notthe end of the season, it’sthe beginning of a timeof renewal, improvementand preparation.To thoseends, here are some usefultechniques for common fallgardening tasks.Got leaves?Then you’vegot mulch.

Gone are the days whenleaves were seen as refuse tobe disposed of. In this ageof sustainability, leaves areone of the most commonrenewable resourcesavailable. For those whodon’t like leaves as mulch,I urge you to give it atry. Prepare the leaves byrunning the lawn mowerover them to shred them.This procedure makes theleaves visually palatable to

the discerning eye. Don’tbother shredding smallleaves.They are prettyas they are. Spread theshredded or unshreddedleaves onto the bed three tofour inches thick up closeto the base of all plants. Donot bury perennial crownsbut mulch close. Don’tforget to weed. Level andfluff as you go to get the best

presentation.Water the newleaf mulch into place or letthe rain do it.I gotta move that plant.

Transplanting is oneof the most basic skillsevery gardener shouldhave. Dig a root ball thatis proportionately sized tosupport the growth needs ofthe transplant. A rough, andI mean general, guidelinefor root ball digging size issix inches of root ball radiusfor every one inch of stemdiameter. Avoid damagingthe root ball during digging.Keep your feet off the rootball. Dig down into the soiluniformly around the rootball to attain a round shape.Dig to the bottom of theroots.Then dig under theroot ball, cutting off roots asyou go with an old pair of

pruners. Once the entire ballis cut free from the earth,slide burlap or an equivalentmaterial under the entireroot ball. Once the burlapis completely under theroot ball, lift the plant outof the earth and tie up theburlap tightly to hold theroot ball together. Balledand burlapped plants — orB&B, as they are known inthe trade — can be storeduntil final planting butthey must be watered andprotected during storage.Covering the root ball with

temporary protection, suchas leaves or bark mulch, isrecommended.The perennials are fallingdown.

As they do during fall,perennials begin to looktired. For the healthiestperennials, keep the foliagegrowing until all or most ofthe green energy has beenretracted from the leavesinto root storage for winter.This gives the plant a goodenergy reserve for winterand next spring’s growth.Once the leaves have turnedcolour, then cut back allfoliage to the ground. Please,

try to leave some flowerheads standing for winter.Perennial seed heads areamong the most beautifulin the plant kingdom andadd interest to any gardenin winter. Much depends onwhat perennials you grow.Not all perennials producegood winter seed heads orfruit. Beyond the visual,standing perennial seedheads also provide food forsome birds and homes forbeneficial insects.Keeping up with the lawn.

If you ask professionalturf managers they willtell you that fall is fertilizer

time. It is important toremember that professionalturf managers operate theirlawns under a different setof performance objectivesversus the needs of theaverage residential lawnowner. Only fertilize if yourlawn is unhealthy and use arecommended fall fertilizer.But I think fall fertilization oflawns is generally a waste ofmoney and environmentallydamaging. For the homegarden I do not recommendfall aeration unless you havean identifiable drainage orsoil compaction problem.As for fall liming, it is

recommended that limebe applied in fall as ageneral practice, but onlyfor the purpose of usingwinter rains to wash thelime into intimate contactwith the soil. Only applylime if you test the soilpH to understand pHrequirements, if any. Cuttinglower in the fall has longbeen the grass mowingstandard, which is useful forsome grass species in sunnylocations. Cutting lower maynot be the best option if youhave weed growth. Longergrass can outgrow many ofthe smaller weeds. Cutting

length should generally betwo to three inches tall.Topdressing in the fall isrecommended to fill in barespots and allow the grass togrow in full for winter. Usean organic topdress mediumlike manure or garden blendtopsoil. Avoid the use ofsand unless you buy sharp,angular, coarse grained sand.Playsand and other roundsands are utterly useless inthe garden for almost alluses.

What else? Plenty, butmake time to feast your eyeson the colours of the season.

The rain was inevitablyon its way and now it hasarrived.

What better time thannow to pick up a fewhousehold projects aroundthe home? We tend tospend most of our timeoutside during the warmermonths so now that we findourselves inside once againit’s time to tackle the underperforming shower heads,neglected shower stalls andother tedious tasks we havebeen avoiding for months.

Here are a few tips andtricks I have picked up overthe years from friends andfamily that may help youavoid the costly plumbingbills and professional cleansyou may think you require.

Shower headsIf you find your shower

head is acting sluggish andspitting water out ratherthan its usual spray, youmay have a partial blockdue to mineral deposits.Rather than turning toharsh chemical cleaners,try filling a large plastic bagwith plain, white vinegarand completely submergingthe head inside.Tie off witha few rubber bands and let

sit overnight. Remove it inthe morning and wipe dry.This should do the trick fora mineral deposit blockage.

GroutScrub the grout in your

bathtub and shower stallwith a small brush, suchas a toothbrush. Mild dishwashing liquid and warmwater usually removes most

of the stains.

Glass shower doorsFor years many

homeowners have useda window squeegee andcommercial windowcleaners to clean theirshower door. I have foundthis method to work but Iprefer to add a little whitevinegar to warm waterand use this as a cleaningsolution instead. It reallyleaves the glass door shinyclean. For the rubber track,try mild dish washing liquidand warm water. Scrubwith a soft brush.

HardwareNothing looks better

in a clean bathroom thanshiny hardware. One ofthe best methods to cleanyour faucets and handlesis, once again, with good

old-fashioned white vinegarand warm water. Morestubborn stains may requirea commercial cleaner butit’s best to try the naturalmethod first.

ToiletsThis is one fixture that

you may have to go to witha chlorine bleach to removeany stubborn hard-waterrings.Vinegar and waterwill clean the toilet exteriornicely but the interior mayrequire a bit more elbowgrease. Let the bleach sitfor an hour or so in thetoilet bowl before youbrush it clean with a toiletbrush.

PARENTING

Volunteerismconnectskids to the communityOne part of my life isvolunteerism.

When my childrenwere young I was active inour parent participationpreschool, in the communityschool and on a committeeconcerned with children’srights. Currently I am anadvocate for the end ofphysical punishment ofchildren as well as sittingon the strata council formy condo. I am also goingto be helping at a politicalfundraiser.

When you have youngchildren it’s important foryou to let them know whenyou are going to a meeting,where you are going andwhy. Kids are more likelyto volunteer when they seetheir parents getting involvedbecause they do their bestlearning by watching theirparents.

My involvement intheir schools started withpreschool.This gave themthe message that this wasn’tjust a place to send them buta place that mattered to the

whole family. It was part oftheir community.

Children who feelconnected to theircommunity are going to bebetter citizens.They will havea sense of ownership of theirstreets and parks and knowthat they don’t just belongin their home but in theirneighbourhood.

One way to connectkids to the community is toencourage them to volunteer.

According to StatisticsCanada, 47 per cent ofCanadians 15 and olderdid volunteer work in 2010.

Younger Canadians, thoseaged 15 to 24, are morelikely to volunteer.Thatis, however, because oftenvolunteerism is mandatoryfor high school graduation.

There are very goodreasons for us to encourageour kids to volunteer besidesthat of a school requirement.When they help others,they develop a sense ofaccomplishment, they learnnew and different skills, andthey get to know a variety ofadults of various ages.

The first step is to let ourchildren see our volunteerefforts.Volunteerism rangesfrom a simple act of kindnesstoward a neighbour, tobecoming politically activein the community. It doesn’tmatter how you choose tovolunteer.You may have aneighbour who is elderly soyou help her with groceryshopping by taking her alongwhen you shop. And youinvolve your young childby asking him to help bycarrying one item. Nowhe feels connected to her,

accountable for the care ofthe can of soup he’s carryingand aware of his role as ahelper.That’s simple butprofound.

There are many ways wecan encourage our kids tovolunteer.

Depending on youractivities you might bringyour child along with you tohelp at the local food bank.As she gets older she canvolunteer on her own as wellas with you.

Animal shelters oftenwelcome children to holdand cuddle animals or takethem for walks.

Residents in seniorcentres enjoy visits fromchildren.The kids get tohear stories of the pastfrom the elderly residents.They may also play gamessuch as checkers or getinvolved in art projects.Thisis particularly appealingfor kids who have nograndparents or nonenearby.

Elderly neighbourswill appreciate help

PARENTING

Older kids can helpneighbours with snowremoval, lawn mowing orweeding the garden. Seniorsappreciate this help but sowould your neighbour witha toddler and a newborn inthe house.

When my children werevery young (and they areonly 14 months apart), a

neighbour child used tocome over after school andplay with the kids while Iorganized dinner. It wasfabulous.

Groups of kids can cometogether to organize a clean-up day in the park.

Once you open up yourmind to possibilities andtake a look around your areayou will see places that coulduse the help of your child so

that both will benefit.Volunteerism need not

be only a requirement forschool but also a part of life,a way to become connectedand a way to learn about thecommunity.

See ‘Gateway’ page 28

For more than threedecades, a small shop inthe industrial strip behindCapilano Mall has quietlychampioned fine cheesesto a steadily growingNorth Shore audience.

After frequenting thestore for 15 years as anenthusiastic and loyalcustomer, Doug Martin,unfulfilled by a career in thecorporate world, made a life-altering decision and boughtthe shop when it was put upfor sale six years ago.

If you live on the NorthShore, have even the faintestappreciation for cheese thatdoes not come in an aerosolcan, but have not yet visitedThe Cheese Man, you owe itto yourself to check it out.

Martin prides himselfon cultivating the palates ofhis customers, a passionatecommunity of cheeseenthusiasts that followwith eager anticipationthe arrival of exciting newand unusual products. Irecently spent a morningwith Martin in his shop todiscuss his concurrent dutiesas cheese wholesaler, retailer,educator, researcher andtireless aficionado.

As I walked into the shopmy senses were immediatelyawakened by a burst ofcomplex aromas; Martinhad laid out a selection ofnotable cheese for me tosample, spanning a widegeography and broad flavourspectrum.

Exercising unusualrestraint, I opted to queryMartin prior to samplingthe enticing spread.Theworld of cheese, much likethe world of wine so oftenassociated with it, is a storiedand fascinating one, withunique histories, legends andlore that help explain thefiercely protected regionaldesignations that manycheese labels bear.

Martin explains, forexample, that the centuries-old practice of using ashto ripen cheese may haveoriginally come about asa way for farmers to avoidsome of the burdensometaxes levied on them bylandowners; burying theircheeses in ash helpedfarmers to disguise the truevolume of their output. Asit happens, ash also served

to protect the vulnerablesurfaces of young cheesesfrom harmful microbeswhile allowing the productunderneath to suitably ripen.

Transmitting knowledgeabout the products he sellsto customers based on theirindividual palates in order tofoster a greater appreciationfor artisanal cheese isMartin’s life work and a keyfactor that distinguishes hisbusiness from what he callsthe “grab and go” approachof big corporate stores.

Many new grocerssupply a wide selection ofcheeses but fail to engagewith the consumer, leavingnovice palates to fend forthemselves and possibly missthe mark with their cheesepurchases. I am remindedof the first time I bought awedge of blue cheese when I

was in my early teens. I waskeen to understand whatothers appreciated aboutit and, without guidance,chose a potent, aged,Spanish blue goat’s cheesecalled Cabrales; it wasoverwhelmingly intense andput me off trying other bluesfor a few years.

“That’s because yourpalate wasn’t ready for it,”Martin explains. “If you hadbeen guided along a moregradual path, you wouldhave progressed to a placewhere that potent cheesewas more approachable toyou.”

I have to concede thepoint as I now relish boldblue cheeses above mostothers, but recognize that ithas taken me two decades toget here.

My tasting begins

with raclette, a semi-firmcow’s milk cheese fromSwitzerland with a pungentnose but decidedly mildflavour and silky texture.Raclette, a cold-weathercheese popular with alpinehikers, is traditionally servedfrom a specialized apparatusthat gently melts the cheese,allowing it to be scraped intobite-sized dollops that can beapplied to bread, potatoes,and other vessels. Martinrents the raclette deviceto interested customers inorder to uphold the uniqueseasonal tradition.

Another highlight of mytasting was PiaveVecchio, afirm and sharp, Parmesan-like Italian cheese suitablefor consumption on its ownor grated overtop foods.

‘Gateway’ blue sharp, creamyFrom page 27

Martin served the cheese inthin shavings that melted inthe mouth, revealing nuttyflavours and a distinct,almost crystalline texture.The cheese would marryexceptionally well with thefirm but elegant red wines ofPiedmont, especially a goodquality Barbera.

Also of note in the tastingwas a complex and intenseGouda, aged for 48 months.The rock-hard cheese,crumbly and mocha-hued,was like dessert in its ownright, with lush flavoursof butterscotch and saltedhazelnuts.

We finished with oneof my personal favourites,

Fourme D’Ambert, a richlycreamy, earthy blue. Itsreserved sharpness makesit a dangerous gateway bluecheese, so accessible to thosekeen to explore blue cheesesfurther that it is likely toprompt them to seek bolderincarnations.

It is worth noting that asa wholesaler, Martin is ableto sell his cheeses at pricesconsiderably lower than theaverage retailer.

Rich in antioxidants andvitamin C yet low in fatand calories, cabbage inits many varieties is oneof the most widely growncrops on earth.

Although your housemay not smell great aftercooking it and there areoften some digestiverepercussions, the healthbenefits and versatilityoutweigh those minorirritations.

Whether you choosegreen, red, Savoy, Napa orbok choy, choose compact,firm heads of cabbagewith no discoloration.Theheads should feel heavy fortheir size. Since cabbageis prone to harboringsmall insects and istherefore often sprayedwith pesticides, wash itthoroughly in cold water,then soak in cold, lightlysalted water for 15 to 30minutes.
