THE District of North Vancouver and Port Metro Vancouver areexpressing concern over CN’s plan to cut staff who monitor andoperate the Second Narrows rail lift bridge.

CN confirmed Tuesday that it will phase out the system of having observer-operators posted at three movable span bridges in the Lower Mainland including theSecond Narrows rail crossing, New Westminster and Lulu Island bridges.

Instead, all three bridges will be monitored by camera, and raised and lowered asneeded from a central location.

“The centralized system will streamline our operations while continuing to follow

NV waterfrontmuseum plansmove forwardCity of North Vancouver council givesgreen light to Pipe Shop shipyard siteAnne [email protected]

THE City of North Vancouver has given the green light fora new waterfront location of the North Vancouver Museumand Archives — provided proponents can raise half of the $10million needed to build the exhibit and a business plan onoperating costs checks out.

If it goes ahead, the museum will be located in the Pipe Shop on Lot 4 of the oldshipyards site on the waterfront and will provide almost double the current space.

“We believe we can build a bigger and better museum,” said Sanford Osler, vicechair of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives. “This is a great all-weatherintroduction to North Vancouver.”

Nancy Kirkpatrick, director of the North Vancouver Museum and Archives, saidthe museum would include three thematic galleries showcasing human and naturalhistory, a children’s gallery and an idea exchange area.

“A suspension bridge will span the lobby and lead to a second floor tree canopywhich contains contents specifically about history of the North Shore,” saidKirkpatrick.

The museum will cost approximately $10 million to build. Of that, the city hasagreed to shoulder half the cost. The rest of the money will have to come from

Operating estimates remain crucial

IT may be too big and too broad, buta newly approved seniors centre willafford Edgemont’s elders a chance toleave their homes without leaving theirneighbourhood.

The 115-unit, three-storey Edgemont SeniorLiving facility earmarked for Canfield Crescentnear Woodbine Drive and Highland Boulevardwon a crucial rezoning Monday, with District ofNorth Vancouver council voting 4-3 in favour ofthe project.

The rezoning of six single-family lots allowsthe developer to buy 9,741 square feet of CanfieldCrescent, effectively green-lighting the project.

Located adjacent to the commercial core ofEdgemont Village, the seniors home is slated toinclude a minimum of 15 assisted-living units and12 to 23 care rooms for seniors with mental healthproblems such as dementia.

While the majority of council expressedmisgivings about the project’s size, Mayor RichardWalton placed a greater emphasis on giving seniorsa compelling housing option.

“If my father had been able to spend the lastthree or four years of his life, and my mother, atEdgemont, they would’ve had the world open tothem,” he said.

The piece of land in question is the only onein the vicinity that could provide a home for activeseniors, according to Walton.

“There are no other locations, and quite franklyin this business it’s location, location, location,”Walton said.

The units may not attract enough seniors,according to Coun. Mike Little, who voted againstthe project due to concerns about its size and theeffect it would have on the neighbourhood.

“There’s a tremendous demand for downsizingin that community, but not downsizing to suchsmall units,” he said.

The majority of speakers at a recent publichearing criticized the seniors home proposal as a

misplaced monolithic structure that would dwarfthe one-storey ranchers on its perimeter.

“Ijustdon’tthinkIwanttochangethecharacterof Edgemont so significantly for something that Idon’t know is tried and tested,” Little said.

North Vancouver’s Cedar Springs RetirementResidence currently has a 34 per cent occupancy,according to Little, who said many seniors don’tmove into a facility until they’re in their 80s.

“Seventy is the new 50,” he said.Edgemont Senior Living may not be

immediately successful, according to Walton.“I don’t think for a second this facility’s going

to be full in the first year, in the second year. It maytake a few years,” he said.

Edgemont was once reminiscent of a prairietown, according to Walton, who recalled bothopen ditches and the contention that greetedHighland House. A huge number of peoplefought that tooth and nail, he said.

The neighbourhood needs to continue tochange, Walton said.

The project provides council with a unique

opportunity to fill a housing need, albeit in afacility that is likely too big, according to Coun.Robin Hicks.

Monthly rents at the facility range from about$3,000 per month for a studio unit to $5,500 fora two-bedroom unit. Meals are included.

“Only those who have sizable means or whohave homes they will be able to sell will be ableto afford it,” Hicks said, adding that townhouseswould come with a similar price tag.

“I think I support this facility with somereluctance,” Hicks said.

The developer would have to provide thedistrict with approximately $500,000 worth ofcommunity benefits. The half-a-million figure isequivalent to 50 per cent of the estimated increasein land value.

Out of a total of 103,000 square feet,approximately 18,000 square feet consist ofcommon areas and space for activities.

The project is slated to offer 90 days ofregistration solely for Edgemont/Upper Capilanoseniors.

In split vote, council approves Edgemont seniors housing

IT was a busy weekend for theNorth Shore Rescue helicopterteam who received back-to-back medical calls on Sundayafternoon.

The team was called out to help a 50-year old woman who fractured her ankleafter slipping on snow while out for a dayhike on the Howe Sound Crest Trail ataround 1:30 p.m.

The woman was given morphine by amember of the team who is also a paramedic.She was then airlifted in a rescue basketsuspended underneath the helicopter to theCypress parking lot and taken by ambulanceto Lions Gate Hospital.

As that call was wrapping up, the

helicopter team members were once againsummoned — this time to a report of a fallat Granite Falls in Indian Arm.

When they arrived on scene, the rescueteam found a 28 year-old man had fallen ashort distance near the waterfall.

The Canadian Coast Guard hovercraftSiyay, the Royal Canadian Marine Searchand Rescue unit and Coquitlam Searchand Rescue rope rescue team, as well as BCAmbulance all attended the call, said teamleader Tim Jones.

“Our flight team staged on the tidalflat right on the beach at Granite Falls,” hesaid.

The helicopter team brought the manout of the waterfall area and down to thehovercraft where the ambulance crew waswaiting.

The man was then taken to Cates Parkon the hovercraft, where an ambulance

crew took him to Lions Gate Hospital.Jones said people should be more

cautious and use common sense during thesummer, especially around waterfalls.

“We observed a number of young kidsprecariously around the falls at heights thatwere 50 to 100 feet (of potential) directfall.” Jones called that “very disconcerting.

“It’s just a message to parents and kids,really be aware of what you’re doing.”

Jones also cautioned that the publicneeds to be aware that helicopters aren’talways available for rescues during theforest fire season, as many companies areemployed to fight the blazes.

That means there could be a delay ingetting a helicopter to help with a rescue,he warned.

“We’re always working to manage itand working with the helicopter companiesbut it’s the nature of the beast.”

fundraising. The city has askedthe museum commission tocomplete a fundraising feasibilitystudy to assess where that moneymight come from.

Council has also askedstaff to review the estimates ofprojected operating costs for thenew museum.

Currently, the city anddistrict split the cost of operatingthe museum, both contributingabout $500,000 annuallytowards a $1 million operatingbudget.

The operating budget for anew museum is projected to behigher — about $1.7 milliona year. Museum officials areprojecting the difference incosts can be made up throughcharging admission, plus rentalsand corporate sponsorships.

“The presentation we madeto the District was very wellreceived, we will be going backto them probably in September,”Kirkpatrick told council Mondaynight. “What we have heardfrom them is they’re happywith what we’ve been doing, ifthere is no net increase in whatthey are providing, then they arecertainly willing to look at this.”

Admission rates are beingprojected at $7.50.

Most of council was in support of moving forward with plans forthe new museum.

“This has been a long and winding road,” said Coun. Rod Clark.“We have a very dedicated group of people who put in a lot of timeand effort so far and in my mind are charged now, and seem to betaking the charge, in going ahead.”

Coun. Don Bell was equally as enthusiastic about the project.“What we want people to know is it’s a facility that deals not

only with the past, but it deals with the present and it deals with thefuture,” said Bell.

But some councillors, although supportive, still had reservationsabout the commission’s business plan.

“Just because I’m enthusiastic to move ahead doesn’t mean I’mprepared to buy into it,” said Coun. Craig Keating. “I’m concernedabout the relationship between the city of North Vancouver andthe District of North Vancouver in terms of the operation of themuseum.”

The business case has left Keating “cold and unconvinced” andcouncil needs better numbers, he said.

“If we don’t get it right and we end up with a white elephant onthe waterfront that’s not going to be able to sustain itself, we’ll allfeel pretty bad,” said Keating.

Coun. Linda Buchanan also had concerns regarding the businesscase as well as the admission rates, but was supportive of movingthe museum to a new location. “I believe we need a communitymunicipal museum,” said Buchanan.

The current museum is located at Presentation House on West4th Street and houses approximately 20,000 historic local andregional artifacts.

CN has announced plans to operate is rail bridge across Burrard Inlet from acentralized control site in New Westminster.

the marine navigation rules andmaintain safety,” said WarrenChandler, CN spokesman.“We will still have the abilityto place a bridge tender at anyof the bridges should we feel itnecessary, but the idea is to havethe automation up and runningby the end of this year.”

Chandler said additionalcameras have been installed atall bridges, which will give thecentralized bridge operator afull view. The change shouldn’tpresent any more risk to marineor rail traffic, Chandler added.

“We have done acomprehensive risk assessmentto ensure that the centralizedsystem will not have an adverseeffect on operations or safety,”he said.

But officials with Port MetroVancouver said no one has toldthem about the risk assessment.

“They indicated that theywere looking at potentials fordoing this and they started areview process, but as far aswe are concerned, it has nevercome full circle. It has neverbeen completed as a full-fledgedrisk assessment,” said ChrisWellstood, deputy harbourmaster.

Deepsea traffic traversesthe narrows at least daily, andthere is likely more traffic onthe way if Kinder Morgan getsapproval for the twinning ofits oil pipeline to the Burnabyterminus, Wellstood said.

The port has also not beeninformed of whether Transport

Canada has signed off on CN’splan, Wellstood added.

CN’s plan may be perfectlysafe, said Wellstood, but headded until industry membersand the port have been ableto list their concerns and hearwhat CN’s plan for addressingthem are, it’s hard to know howCN reached its conclusion.

While rail safety is underfederal jurisdiction, Districtof North Vancouver MayorRichard Walton said he toois wary of CN’s claim inthe absence of seeing a riskassessment report.

“Thefirstreactionis, ifyou’regoing to monitor somethingfrom New Westminster by videoand control it, do you haveaccess to all the informationthat a human set of eyes andbrain has when it’s right therein the south tower overlookingthe site?” Walton asked. “I justdon’t know.”

As Burrard Inlet is crucialto the economies of everymunicipality that borders it andprotecting the environment isa shared responsibility, Waltonsaid CN should make its riskassessment available for publicscrutiny.

“I suspect, if CN is workingwithin the acceptable safetystandards, then obviouslythose safety standards need tobe publicly disclosed,” he said.“I think most of us mayors inthe inner harbour would like alittle more comfort than CNjust saying the job can be donefrom a remote location in NewWestminster.”

Enemies of the stateTHIS week we saw a shuffling of the

federal cabinet. It was more a game ofmusical chairs than a real changing ofthe guard.

More newsworthy however, wassome of the apparently required readingfor new federal ministers.

Several news outlets reported thePrime Minister’s Office also asked staffto include lists of “friends and enemystakeholders” in the new ministers’summer reading lists.

This is troubling for a number ofreasons. This is the same PMO that hasbecome embroiled in constant scandaland turned into a full-time campaignmachine that operates year-round attaxpayers’ expense on deeply partisanprojects. Dividing Canadians into“friends and enemies” indicates a levelof government paranoia not seen sinceMcCarthyism.

It also implies our federalgovernment is no longer working forall Canadians, only for those whoseideological positions match those ofthe governing party. By using thedivisive term “enemy,” the governmentis leaving itself open to accusations thatit is also actively working against someCanadians. It showcases an “us versusthem” mentality.

So who is on the list? Other than avague description that it may includeenvironmental groups, non-profits,and civic and industry associations thatdisagree with the federal Conservatives,we have no clue. That too is aproblem.

As much as this makes the rulingConservatives look bad, this is also thestuff that drives cynicism, turns offvoters and erodes Canadians’ faith inthe institution of government.

VIEWPOINT

Council engages residents every dayMailbox

Dear Editor:I wish to address some misleading information

that appeared in recent issues of the News (“OpenLetter to Mayor and Lynn Valley Residents fromJoan Birchall” and “Lynn Valley Densification PlansQuestioned”), specifically Ms. Birchall’s perception ofmy willingness to meet with residents. I also wish toprovide an update on the Lynn Valley Town Centreplanning process.

There are many ways to speak directly withthe mayor and councillors and we collectively andindividually engage the public every day: our councilhas a lengthy record of open and positive engagement.Eight years ago I started the monthly “Meet theMayor” sessions at Lynn Valley Library and ParkgateCommunity Centre. These informal, drop-in sessionsrun September through June and allow for one-on-one conversations with individuals and small groups.Citizens also have the option of meeting with the

mayor and/or councillors at district hall. We generallyneed to know the topic and focus so we can researchthe issue in order to engage constructively. Simplygive the mayor’s office a call and we will arrange asuitable time to meet.

Of particular interest to many of our residents at thistime is planning for Lynn Valley Town Centre. Districtcouncil is committed to engaging the community inan inclusive, transparent way and over the years thishas involved extensive public consultation.

In June, the district hosted four open houseswhere residents could learn about planning for LynnValley Town Centre, provide feedback on a range ofconceptual options for the future, or provide their ownideas. Residents were able to talk with council, staffand citizen advisory committee members, and fill outfeedback forms to share their views. Approximately1,200 people attended and provided their input. Manyothers participated online or through correspondence

to council.Staff and our consultants are currently compiling

this feedback and will be reporting back to council laterin the summer/early fall with a potential direction forLynn Valley Town Centre that best reflects communityfeedback. I assure all citizens that council is listeningclosely to the community on this matter; the processis not over and no decisions have been made. It iscritical that we work collaboratively and respectfullywith the community in order to create a long-termplan for Lynn Valley Town Centre that provides forcurrent needs and future generations.

I encourage residents to stay involved as theLynn Valley Town Centre implementation and otherplanning processes move ahead. Please visit ourwebsite (identity.dnv.org) for further information andupdates.Mayor Richard WaltonDistrict of North Vancouver

Dear Editor:It does not take a major catastrophe to discover

there are kind people in this world willing to help.On June 31, my son dropped his little miniature

pincher/Boston terrier off at our place to be cared for,while he was away. But the dog was very anxious toget back to his owner and wiggled out of his harness,

escaping out onto very busy East Keith Road. Firsthe ran east, then crossed the road and ran west,zigzagging the street several times. All traffic stoppedon the 1300 and 1200 block of East Keith Roadduring this incident, and I would like to thank all thepeople in their cars for their kind consideration.

But the people I would like to thank most are the

nice young man at the bus stop, who followed the dogon his bike and brought him back to us and Raymondand his two children, who offered me a ride in theircar to comb the side streets to find him. We are trulygrateful!Jutta VertegaalNorth Vancouver

Hand TransLink pain back to province“The silos in which [the

region’s] land planning,economic development andtransit functions operateare symptomatic of theproblems many cities in theworld face. . . . We need to beworking on the same page.”

Richard Walton – June20, 2013

In our recent exchangeabout his presentationto the Mayors’Council on RegionalTransportation, Districtof North VancouverMayor Richard Waltonsaid he shares a concernexpressed by severalof his colleagues— “TransLink is(required) to plan forthe future as part ofits mandate, but thefunding levers necessaryto implement the planlie with the province.”

Clarifying his referenceto the three silos, he saidthat while land planning isthe responsibility of MetroVancouver, economicdevelopment is done by 23separate communities in theabsence of any central

co-ordination.As for the third silo —

TransLink — Walton did notneed to tell me that today’sdysfunctional agency is adirect result of that lack ofco-ordination, coupled withunder-funded interferencefrom Victoria.

Instead, more diplomaticthan I, Walton said“effectively, the provincecontrols the levers but willnot engage in the process.”

The problem with beingdiplomatic is that nice guysoften finish last.

For 15 years, variouscostly incarnationsof TransLink boards,committees and councilshave tried to negotiate anappropriate funding model.They tried to no avail withboth NDP and BC

Liberal administrations.So if those committees

find it difficult to take thenext step, let me stiffen theirresolve: Your decade-longreluctance to stand up toVictoria, to say you “ain’tgonna take it anymore,” hasbrought TransLink to itsfinancial knees.

People have had enough— to such an extent thatmany view the governanceof TransLink as being part ofthe problem.

For validation of thoseopinions, we need go nofurther than the executivesummary of a March 2013report on the TransLinkgovernance commissioned bythe mayors.

The summary quicklycame out of its corner witha right hook to the chin ontransportation governancewhich it said is: “less thanideal in relationship tothe six major criteria ofaccountability, transparency,responsiveness, clarity ofpurpose, advocacy andproductive relationships.”

“The most critical ofthese,” the report stated,“is accountability to thepopulation being served,which is almost completelymissing …”

That point isn’t new.

People have been saying thatsince the Glen Clark days.

The governance we haveendured since 1998 is aninternational embarrassment.At least, that’s what Igathered from the next twoparagraphs that say our“arrangements” are “uniquein the world and not in agood way.”

Regardless, we cannotallow the victims of a failedand expensive governancemodel to be further penalizedfor driving their vehicleswhen no workable transitoption is available.

TransLink has been ona wild ride, hampered byprovincial decisions like the$2.4 billion Canada Line butleft without dollars for itsbasic obligations.

For their part, mostregional politicians havelacked access to the impartialtechnical expertise ontransit required to challengeVictoria’s dictates and havehad little option but to goalong.

International experiencewith light rail, trams andshared-track systemsdemonstrates that popular,affordable transit technologyis available. Open mindsamong our decision-makerswould enable TransLink

to do more — and do itsuperbly — with less. Andthat accounts for my specificinterest in the merits orotherwise of using congestionpricing as a means ofraising additional revenuesto support vital TransLinkinitiatives.

Walton told his colleaguesthat, despite its detractors,the funding model is meetingits objectives in Stockholm.

So in an effort todetermine whether it wouldwork in Vancouver, I askedwhether ‘Metro Stockholm’had a robust transit systemin place before congestionpricing was implemented.“Yes, they did,” Waltonreplied.

“I rode their rapid transitsystem in 1968 and it hadbeen around for at least adecade before that.”

That answers one

question — when congestionpricing was imposed inStockholm, drivers at leasthad a functioning transitalternative available withintheir 360 degree commutingperimeters.

But as Walton said in hispresentation, “[Stockholm’s]centric model would not fitVancouver’s traffic patterns …[our] traffic flows in differentpatterns.”

To my last question:“Do Stockholm residentspay transit-related taxes inaddition to the congestionpricing?” Walton’s answerdisappointed.

“My understanding isthat property tax goes to thefederal government,” he said.

“But income tax inSweden is used for transit incities, among other sources.”

THREE modest WestVancouver homes areslated to be built onFulton Avenue, buthow much the districtwill make from theirrezoning was a sore spotduring discussion on theissue July 8.

Council voted 6-1 in favourof allowing three, two-storeyinfill homes at 2074 FultonAve., almost doubling the floorspace allowed on the property.Two homes would likely sit sideby side with a third unit adjacentto the lane. Previous zoning forthe area allowed for a maximumfloor space of 244 square metres.The newly approved homescan have a total floor space of426 square metres, excludingbasements.

The rezoning increases thevalue of the land by $60,000,according to a district staffreport. That boost is directlytied to the amount of money thedeveloper pays the district. Inthis case, the developer is on thehook for a community amenitycontribution of $45,000.

But the district’s estimate ofincreased property value — or“uplift” — leaves much to be

desired, according to frequentcouncil spectator George Pajari.

Pajari said the issue wasreminiscent of the debatesurrounding council’s approvalof the nearby Hollyburn Mewsdevelopment.

In that case, appraisersestimated an increased value ofapproximately $155,000 on thenine-unit, three-lot HollyburnMews development.

Now the units are selling,Pajari said its clear the appraiserunderestimated the increasedvalue by more than $2 million.

Uplift refers solely to landvalue, said Coun. Mary-AnnBooth, adding many people areconfused by that. “It is not theprofit factor,” she said.

Developers take a substantialrisk when embarking on a dealof this magnitude, Booth said.

Pajari said the district shouldhave provided the public with abreakdown of how they arrivedat an uplift figure of $60,000.

“We need, you oncouncil need, to see all of theinformation necessary to arriveat the (community amenitycontribution figure),” he said.“But for some strange reasonhowever, staff have decidedto withhold this information,releasing only an executivesummary.”

Generally speaking,conservative lenders estimate

uplift while exaggerating costsand underestimating revenue,said Pajari. That approachhas not allowed the district tomaximize its profit, he said.

Despite offering his reluctantsupport for the project,Mayor Michael Smith agreedwith Pajari on the matter ofHollyburn Mews. “I was alsoopposed, quite vehemently,to the way the communityamenity calculation was doneon Hollyburn Mews,” he said.“There’s a huge disconnect ofhundreds of thousands of dollarson each unit.”

Council’s past decisions onFulton Avenue have painted thecurrent council into a corner,according to Smith.

“The blunt reality is thehorse has left the barn. We haverezoned that lot,” he said.

Coun. Trish Panz wasenthusiastic about adding morevariety to the district’s housingmarket.

“These are the kinds ofalternative housing that wewere pushed to explore in thecommunity and I would actuallylike to see (fewer) financialbarriers,” she said.

The homes could besold for somewhere in theneighbourhood of $1.45million, substantially lower thanthe district’s average home priceof $1.7 million, Panz said.

The development gives anunwelcome spot of “intensedensity” to Fulton Avenue,according to Coun. BillSoprovich, who decried the lack

of lawn and the small backyard.“That block, everybody’s

going to stand up to the plateand expect the same thing,” hesaid. “Why didn’t they just putup an apartment block?”

Laneway traffic was a majorconcern for neighbourhoodresident Heather Mersey, whocalled for “homes that fit us andfit in.”

Couns. Michael Lewis, NoraGambioli, and Craig Cameronall called for a future discussionon community amenitycontributions.

Clearly, we need moredefinitive information beforewe even think of congestionpricing in this region. Itmay well be that, overall,the Swedes pay far lessthan the significant total ofgasoline, carbon, and othertransportation-related taxespeople already pay in MetroVancouver.

Be that as it may, everyNorth Shore dollar sent toTransLink for little directreturn on investment is adollar councils cannot spendon other essential services weexpect.

Walton is right when he

says the reason many partsof Northern Europe havedeveloped better integratedplanning models than us, isbecause the political systemsthere produce a constantneed for coalition groups towork together.

But if we can’t worktogether, for now, the onlyway we can force Victoriato “engage in the process”and to be accountable for itsbehind-the-scenes decisions,is for TransLink to bereturned to the hands thatcontrol “the funding levers”— the provincial government— and, yes, I am suggestingwe do just that.

Nature house mulled


ONE of the oldest homes in the LowerMainland may mark its 140th birthdayby becoming a nature centre.

The Navvy Jack house on Argyle Avenue,the oldest continuously occupied home inthe Lower Mainland, could become a naturenexus if the West Vancouver StreamkeepersSociety has their way.

The notion of a historic site doubling as alearning centre appealed to West Vancouvercouncil, who voted unanimously July 8 for staff toreturn with a business plan for the project.

“It’s not necessarily about history or FirstNations people, it’s about what existed herebefore anybody,” said streamkeepers presidentJohn Barker.

The streamkeepers society and the district arecurrently slated to split an approximately $5,000bill on a structural and building code assessmentto judge what upgrades might be necessary for thehouse.

“If you determine it is worth saving, it has tohave a new roof or we’re going to lose the house,”said Bill Chapman, a streamkeepers director.“We’re currently growing a bigger crop on theroof than we are on the ground.”

Under the current plan, the home’s secondfloor would remain a living space for the currenttenant, Lloyd Williams, who has lived in the housefor more than 40 years. Williams has written to sayhe’s enthused about the idea of a nature house onthe property.

“It would be a gathering point for all agesto gain insight and information about thenatural environment so special throughout ourcommunity. This appeals to me,” he wrote.

The future of the house is even more importantgiven the recent development discussionssurrounding Ambleside’s waterfront, he said.

“The house has a lot of character . . . and Iwould hope it would be retained in some way,other than an eatery of some kind,” he wrote.

The house was likely built in 1873 and deservesto be recognized as a tangible piece of history,according to Williams. The district purchased thehouse in 1990. Williams has a lifetime tenancyagreement with the district.

The concept of a nature centre amid theclumps of crabgrass on the waterfront is a fineidea, according to Mayor Michael Smith.

“What could possibly be more exciting alongthat waterfront than this nature site?” he asked.“What’s there now is far from ideal in my mind.”

Smith was also pleased at how the ideaoriginated. “We’ve got community groupsstepping up and doing this instead of having topay staff to come up with all these initiatives,” hesaid.

While agreeing that a nature centre is anexcellent idea, Coun. Craig Cameron successfullylobbied for other West Van community groups tohave a chance to pitch their ideas for the house.

Coun. Michael Lewis was also supportive ofthe idea but concerned about who will end upfooting the bill. “I certainly hope that any businessplan that comes back is not really just ‘This is howmuch it costs, will you cut us a cheque?’ I hopethat there’s a participatory component.”

Just a little younger than Canada itself, thehouse was built by John Thomas, a Welshmanknown as Navvy Jack. He ran a ferry service onBurrard Inlet and sold gravel taken from theCapilano River.

PASSIVHAUS, or passive house design aims to reduce a building’s energy consumption by up to 90 per cent.This design drawing for a passive house currently under construction in the City of Vancouver shows a homethat is well insulated, virtually airtight and compact in design, with high performance windows and doors.

THE word “passive”can conjure up imagesof submission anda lack of resistancebut when it comes tobuildings there is awhole other definition.

Passive housing is theleading edge of energyefficiency. It is designed sothat little energy is needed toboth heat and cool its interiordue to its superior insulation,being virtually airtight andderiving its heating from thesun.

The passive homemovement has been growingover the past decade and nowthere are a wide variety ofthese buildings around theworld.

Author Julie TorresMoskovitz gives a detailedexplanation of the principals ofpassive building constructionbefore taking us on a triparound the world.

From Kansas City toKamakura, Japan and backto Whistler, outstandingexamples of architecture andinterior design are shown.

The buildings are allpresented through colourphotographs of the interiorand exterior, floor plans, theconstruction history andmore.

Passive house catches onDalit HolzmanContributing Writer

THROUGH the last decades,the notion of building homes inmore environmentally friendlyways has become much thenorm.

Slowly but surely, at least here inCanada, the conversation has shiftedonward from discussing why buildingtechnology needs to evolve to discussinghow exactly building technology canevolve in order to most responsibly takeon its own environmental inefficiencies.What once was considered alternative

has now become quite mainstream.Consider Vancouver Mayor Gregor

Robertson’s Greenest City 2020 ActionPlan target: Require all buildingsconstructed from 2020 onward to becarbon neutral in operations.

Other municipalities around theworld are setting the same tone:Melbourne officially became carbon-neutral this year, Copenhagen is pushingfor the same by 2025, Seattle by 2050,the entire country of Costa Rica by2021.

According to Vancouver’s ActionPlan, greening up construction practiceshere would mean big positive impact:

the electricity and natural gas thatbuildings use make up 55 per cent ofVancouver’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Essentially, we need to get buildinggreen, and get building green mightyquickly! But we’re in luck . . . enter,passive house.

The initial principles that eventuallygave rise to the passive house movementwere actually developed here inCanada as part of the SaskatchewanConservation House demonstrationproject of 1978. And though the projectalso stimulated the creation of NRCan’s

Passive house a no-nonsensesolution to reducing fooprintR-2000 building certification program, thetechnologies and methodologies were neveradopted into any municipal building code,thus slowing the positive momentum insideour borders.

Instead, the findings took root inGermany and Passivhaus was born intoreceptive hands. Today, thanks in part tostricter environmental regulations drivenby proactive policymakers, there are about50,000 passive house units worldwide.

The passive house is not an overlynovel idea. Rather than using old tires orstraw bales (like some of its green buildingcousins), and rather than tallying vast arraysof enviro-scoring criteria (like some other ofits green certification relatives), passive houseaims to do one thing extremely well. And thatis: keep heat where it’s supposed to be.

In order to regulate temperature withinthe home, a more robust envelope is neededto make the building essentially airtight.Standard framing walls (see my Framing 101article from July 3) are made to be super-insulated and double or more the thickness,windows become triple-paned, and solarorientation becomes paramount to success.The need for fresh air and moisture control ismanaged by a low energy active heat recoveryventilation system.

The impressive energy savings potentialof passive houses (many use 90 per cent lessenergy than traditional, to-code builds) is atthe concept’s core; however, neither comfortnor affordability are overlooked.

A passive house, absent of typical drafts,is kept at a constant temperature ever

replenished with fresh air. Warming up thespace even further literally means eitherinviting over a friend, turning on anotherlight, or even just lighting a candle. How’sthat for comfort?

And the costs to build passive are comingdown (as with any other newer technologyengaged in the process of catching on andbecoming the norm). In places like Germany(the first real adopter of Passivhaus), theincremental cost to build passive runs underfive per cent more than a traditional homebuilt to code.

As a wholly performance-based,environmentally aware building methodology,passive house utilizes energy modellingsoftware to accurately predict how heat andenergy will behave in a given (and unique)construction scenario. The design is thenhoned to produce the optimal result based onthe parameters of the site.

With 2020 around the corner for ourVancouver area’s target to build only carbon-neutral buildings, passive house offers aproven platform onto which photovoltaicsolutions or the like can be added in order tosupplement the small amount of active energyinput required to become net-zero or carbon-neutral. It is a no-nonsense, science-backedsolution that reduces our housing footprintwhile creating homes and communities thatare built to last.

Garden greatness is within everyone’s reach

GARDENERScontinually face a widerange of issues thatchallenge their abilityto solve problems in anenvironmentally friendly,cost effective andexpedient manner.

To help everyone solvesome of the most commonproblems faced in the gardenhere is part of my problem-solver toolkit.

“Something is eating myplants.” Notches, holes andshredded leaves are common ingardens, especially where plantsare excessively fertilized or thewrong plant is growing in thewrong place. Before you try tocontrol an insect pest, be surethere is a pest left to control.

Often, pest damage isnoticed after the pest has eaten

and left the scene. Every pestcan be found on or in thevicinity of the damage. If youcan’t find it, it’s probably gone,meaning it’s too late to doanything about the problem.

Some plants are chronicallyattacked by insects, which isan indication of the wrongplant in the wrong place. Ifyou cannot bend your mindto realize that plants need tobe placed in suitable growingconditions and some plantsmay need relocation ortermination, then you will haveto bend your wallet.

“The weeds are tallenough to hide mychildren.” As a society wespend millions of dollarsannually picking, pulling,hoeing and spraying the sameweeds over and over again tothe detriment of our walletsand natural resources. Eitherwe are all uninformed, orwe like continually throwingmoney at solving the sameproblem, or our sense ofgarden presentation ismotivated by some outdatedcultural norm lingering fromthe 1950s: an unmulchedblack soil look often incorrectlyequated with a well maintainedgarden. Regardless of themotivation, if you’ve gotweeds, you’ve got to mulch. Ihave continually extolled themany highly beneficial virtuesof mulching in this column and

there are no negative aspectsto mulching. Mulch does notbring ants or other pests intothe garden. Mulch does notdramatically alter the soil’s pHor prevent water from reachingthe soil. And mulch is not afire hazard; people are a firehazard.

Mulch should be appliedtwo to three inches thick overthe entire bed right up to thebase of plants without buryingthem and be maintained yearround without ever digging itinto the soil.

“My plants are too big.”Aren’t plants supposed togrow big? Isn’t maturity virtuerealized? Big plants are onlya problem if they are causinga real health, safety, lightingor growing problem. If youplanted a redwood next tothe house and the foundationis starting to lift out of theground, well, that’s a problem.But just because a tree or shrubgrows big does not mean it’sa problem or that it’s going tofall over.

Unless there is a negativeaffect on surrounding plantsthen big is beautiful, so please,avoid the hedge shear orchainsaw. As gardens matureplants can become unbalancedfrom a design perspectiveat which time careful andskilful pruning intervention


USING straw, wood chips, grass clippings or other mulches in the garden can helpto feed the soil, retain water, detour slugs and suppress weeds.

Can do

Don’t get caught up in trends or competitionis necessary. Pruning to rebalance plantsshould be done in a progressive manner,one cut at a time, while considering theentire context and value of the plantcollection. Big, old plants are impossibleto replace at the same size and old plantsadd to a property’s value. Pruning andtransplanting can dramatically enhancepresentation, plant health and maintain thegarden’s sense of place at a significantlylower cost versus replacement.

“I want to build it myself.” I admirepeople who have the courage to buildsomething themselves. Anyone can talkbut using your mind to build with your

hands melds creativity, knowledge andexecution into one beautiful outcome.Some of the most inspirational gardensI have seen are built by people who havehad an idea and the courage to implementit.

If you are building hardscape structuresin the garden, do some research beforeyou start. Talk to professionals andother gardeners to learn how to buildthings safely and durably. Failure is anopportunity to learn and individuality isthe genesis of creativity, so don’t be afraidto do it yourself but know your limitations.

“I can’t keep up with all thegardening work.” That’s a commonrefrain I hear from many people these

days. When I hear those words it’s eitherone of two problems: The workload isself imposed or the wrong type of work isbeing done.

Gardening is supposed to be enjoyableand clarifying for mind and body. Don’tfocus on buying products to fix problems,getting caught up in garden-trend surfingor competing with the Joneses. Insteadfocus on working with the powerfulrhythms of nature to solve problems, useyour mind, express your own individualityand most importantly as Joseph Campbellsaid, “Find your bliss.”Todd Major is a journeyman horticulturist,gardendesigner-builder, teacher, skills trainerand organic advocate.

appealFirst impressionsJEREMY SHEPHERD • [email protected]

While many of us gladly spendtime making the insides of ourhomes look good, it’s the curbappeal outside that first catchesthe eye.

Ken Best, of Synthesis Design,says that trip to the front doorshould include a sense ofsatisfaction in the look ofyour home.

Curb appeal is the catch phrasethat refers to the exterior lookof a home, and Best saysdesigning curb appeal is likeputting a stamp on your homethat feels like you and that feelsgood to drive up to every day.

Curb appeal can be created bydesigning landscaping in frontof the home, improving thelook of the driveway, paintingthe entire home or touchingup the trim, painting the front

door, or installing a decorativemail box or other front-yardelements.

There are a number ofquestions to consider whenstarting the process oftransforming or subtly refiningthe look of a home: Are theplantings too big or too small?Are the driveway and the frontof the house on speakingterms? Is there something thehomeowners wish their guestswould ignore before reachingthe front door? And what aboutthat front door?

“You’re taking all thesedifferent elements and havingto set them all together intosomething that feels veryunified,” says Best.

Even smaller details cancontribute to the overall look,

such as the home’s address.The numbers on a home canblend in with the paint job, orthey can be something distinct.

“There are so many optionsavailable and obviously that’s ahugely functional and estheticconsideration,” says Best.“People have to be able to findyour place.”

Lighting is also a considerationand can become a part ofthe exterior design. A simplelighting concept can illuminatea path for guests and steer theeye toward the most pleasingelements of a home, such as itspaint job.

When it comes to painting,Best generally recommendsa colour for the home, a trimcolour, and another colour forthe door.

“Re-painting a house is notan inexpensive proposition,but if the colour that’s pickedis timeless enough and it’sgoing to last for a long time,it’s a worthwhile investment,”he says.

Hiring a professional to draftan overarching vision for theesthetics of the home is usuallybetter than taking the do-it-yourself approach, accordingto Best.

“People often try to do thesethings on their own and it’svery difficult for a homeownerto put all these differentelements together and makethem feel really unified,” hesays, adding he takes specialpleasure in working ongathering places.

“I always love the projectswhere you feel like you’recreating a space where peopleare going to get togetherwith their family and friends,”he says.

“When you’ve got someonewho loves to entertain andwho loves to have otherpeople around and what you’redoing is helping them create abackdrop for sharing their lifewith other people, those arealways the ones that are thebest for me because I feel likethat’s design at its best.”

waterSummer heat hard on lawnsMETRO CREATIVE SERVICES

While human beings have their

ways of surviving summer heat,

survival can be more difficult

for your lawn and garden.

Certain grasses and plants thrive

in hot weather, but when it’s

too hot even those grasses and

plants can suffer. The following

are a few basic watering

techniques to help homeowners

keep their lawns going strong

through the summer.

Water when it’s coolest.

Watering when the

temperature is cooler

decreases evaporation, so

your lawn will get the water it

needs and won’t lose any to

steamy conditions that cause

evaporation. This is especially

important when the amount

of water you can use is limited

by a drought restriction.

You’ll want to make sure the

water you can use is actually

going to the lawn and not

evaporating as you’re watering.

Watering in the early morning

or in the evening when the

sun is not as strong and the

temperatures are generally at

their coolest also reduces the

likelihood that your grass will

burn. That’s because water

attracts the sun, and a lawn

that’s wet in the middle of a hot

day might attract too much sun

and cause the lawn to burn.

Recognize that not all plants

are the same. How much

water a plant needs and how

frequently it needs to be

watered largely depends on

how deep its roots are.

A plant with shallow roots

won’t need to be watered for

long periods of time, but it will

need to be watered frequently,

whereas a deep-rooted plant

like a tree or a shrub, will need

to be watered for long periods

of time but not as frequently.

Research the plants around

your property to determine the

depths of their root systems

and water accordingly.

Lean on mulch to retain

moisture. Mulch retains

moisture during hot summer

months, reducing the need

to water. Mulch also makes

it difficult for weeds to grow,

which can keep homeowners

Plants need water in thesummer, but knowing how muchand when is key to a healthy lawn.

from spending hot summerafternoons pulling weeds out oftheir gardens and flower beds.

Strategically locate sprinklers.Sprinklers should be located sono water is ending up on thedriveway or sidewalks aroundyour property. Watering theconcrete or asphalt is wasteful,and that’s water that couldbe going toward your plants.When watering by hand, besure all of the water is findingits way to plants and not onany walkways.

Successfully watering a lawnand garden during the dogdays of summer can greatlyreduce the risk of endingsummer with a lawn full ofbald spots and a garden filledwith wilted plants.

Eco-friendlyLawncare TipsDon’t forget toconsider theenvironment, too

The following are a few ofthe many ways homeownerscan adopt more eco-friendlypractices when tending totheir lawns.

Be conscientious whenwatering. The growth ofmoss on sidewalks or thedriveway is a telltale sign thatyou’re watering too much, asis a standing pool of water onthe grass. Homeowners whofind it difficult to determinewhen their lawns have gottenenough water can purchasean intelligent irrigation controlsystem that adapts yourwatering to a lawn’s needs aswell as the weather.

Turn back the clock on yourtools. Before gas mowersbecame the standard, pushmowers were used to cutthe grass. Such mowers stillexist, and they require nofuel, making them a moreeco-friendly option than theirgas-powered counterparts.

Leaf blowers are a far lessfriendly way to rake leavesin the fall or clean the yardafter a long winter. Whilethere’s no denying theireffectiveness, leaf blowersneed gas to operate, while a

rake just requires some elbowgrease and a little extra timeout in the yard.

Stay local. If you need to plantnew grass or you’re beginninga garden, then stick with localplants, flowers and grassesrather than more exotic optionsthat are not native to your area.Plants, flowers and grasses thataren’t native to your region willrequire more maintenance andoften more watering.

Avoid pesticides wheneverpossible. When pesticides areapplied to a lawn, the chemicalswithin may run off into yourlocal water supply. If you can’tavoid pesticides entirely, thendo your best to minimize howoften you use them.

Don’t let rain water go towaste. Rain barrels are a greatway to make good use of rain.Rain barrels can be placedbeneath a gutter’s downspout,where they will collect waterthat can be reused throughoutyour property to water thelawn and garden. Rain barrelscan be relatively expensive,but over time they will pay forthemselves as you save moneyon your water bill.

patioSimple design tipsROSALIND DUANE • [email protected]

Summer time is patio time.

And whether your idea of a

backyard get-together involves

cocktails and canapés or hot

dogs and root beer, putting

together a usable outdoor

space shouldn’t be too difficult.

“In the summertime I think

people use their patio space

more than their indoor space,”

says Sara Samieian of Moe’s

Home Collection. “A lot of

people are investing in it just

like their indoor space.”

Samieian (seen in the photo

at right) says many people are

spending a lot of money on

outdoor backyard spaces, but

there are ways to cut down

on costs while perking up a

patio area.

Creating an outdoor space toshare with family and friends

doesn’t have to be expensiveor difficult to design.

Adding colour is a simple step

that doesn’t have to cost a lot

of money. Choose a few main

pieces and dress them up with

colourful throws or cushions.

Buying one or two lounger

chairs and an ottoman and

table with a couple of chairs

does not have to be a big

investment, says Samieian.

“Pick a couple of pieces you

really like and bring in some

toss cushions from inside,” she

notes.

When picking a colour to use

outside, Samieian says you

may want to consider the

location of the patio. If it is

separated from the living room

by just a glass door, you may

want to consider continuing

the colour theme from inside

to outside so it doesn’t clash.

“But if your patio is separated

from your home then you can

really do anything you want,

it doesn’t need to tie in,” she

says, adding she’s done a lot

with green this season.

Colour is definitely in, she

notes. Last year, there were a

lot of greys and taupes, but

this year’s patio furniture tends

to include more colour, such

as a white dining table with

orange, grey, blue, and white

chairs around it. One way to

incorporate colour without

clashing is to invest in neutral

frames but tie the toss cushions

together with the same tones.

Cushions can be custom-

ordered each year rather thanbuying a whole new furnitureset every summer.

When putting together anoutdoor space, Samieiansuggests starting with thefurniture.

“Start with the seating, startwith the sofa or the sectional,then add the coffee table, thenadd the toss cushions and endtables,” she says.

It’s OK to have differentcolours on the furniture, butit’s a good idea to match thefabrics and the frames, sheadds. “You don’t really want toclash in the weave.”

Choosing modular pieceshelps provide flexibility.A sectional with modular

pieces can provide differentoptions, such as a chaise anda loveseat, and can separateout the seating a bit more.“I’m a big fan of modularpieces that you can movethings around so when youhave more people you canadjust your seating to fit thatgroup,” says Samieian.

Don’t make the seating tootight, she notes. It’s importantto leave space for guests tomove around. And don’t

forget the accessories. Vases,pictures, mirrors, ottomans,even small tabletop fireplacescan add a nice touch.Samieian says accessories canbe brought from inside roomsto an outdoor space as long asyou remember to bring themback inside when you’re done,or store them in a place wherethey won’t get wet or dirty.

The key to creating a greatspace is to make it useable butcomfortable, she notes.

PARENTING

Parenting TodayKathy Lynn

Kids respond best when given a choice


“DO you want to load the dishwasher or dust theliving room?” Offering choices to children to get theirco-operation around the house can be an effectivemethod of getting things done.

A parent once toldme that once herchild understood whyshe needed him toco-operate he surelywould.

“Mind you,” shecontinued, “he hasn’t yetco-operated but I’m certainit will happen soon.”

She believed she justneeded to continue toexplain and then waitpatiently until he got it.

The problem is that ourchildren have no particularinterest in what we needfrom them, so simplyexplaining our needs isn’teffective.

They don’t care if theliving room is a mess, theycan’t understand why theyshould use utensils to eatwhen hands work so well,and they have no interestin getting dressed in themorning and out of thehouse on time.

So we need to teach themto co-operate. In her bookPerfect Parenting, ElizabethPantley notes that “it willtake practice, patience andpersistence on your part”to encourage your childrento co-operate willingly on aregular basis.

Firstly, because our kids

are not interested in what weneed from them, we need tobe very clear with them.

Often we hint around,saying something like, “itwould be great if we couldall get ready on time in themorning.” Instead, let themknow exactly what you want.

For older kids you can say,“I need you to get dressed;collect your backpack andbe at the door ready to leavethe house by 8:15 everymorning.”

Younger kids may need achart to remind them whatto do, or you can ask themto do one thing at a time.“I need you to put on yoursweater right now so we canleave.”

Offering choices is ofteneffective. Kids respond better

when they have an option.So instead of demanding thatthey empty the dishwasheryou can say, “you have achoice. Would you like toempty the dishwasher or dustthe living room?”

They may come up witha third option that couldinclude doing nothing. Youthen let them know thatwasn’t one of the choices. Ifthey refuse to choose, youcan choose for them.

Don’t expect an instantresponse. For example, ifyour kids are watching atelevision program or in themiddle of a video game, letthem know that you needsomething done once theyare finished. And be prettyspecific. “I need the tableset by six o’clock so canyou please do it during thecommercial or right afteryour program?”

Tell them what you seeand what therefore needsdoing. “There are dirtydishes on the coffee table andthey need to be put away.So, please take them to thekitchen and load them inthe dishwasher.” Then pauseand assume they will followthrough.

If they ignore you, repeatthe comment and add thatyou need them taken in now.

Sometimes a littlesilliness will go a long wayto encourage co-operation.Have the pyjamas talk toyour three-year-old. Use asilly voice and have the pj’stell him that they are lonelyand want to cover his lovelybody. He will giggle andsoon he’s in his pyjamas andready for bed.

Grandma’s Rule isanother great way toencourage child co-operation. That is the when/then technique. “When allthe dishes are cleared and inthe dishwasher, then you canget on the computer.

“As soon as you’re allready for bed, we can read abook.”

Have a positive attitude,your kids aren’t trying to beunco-operative, and they justhave no stake in doing whatmatters to you.

Be clear about what youneed from them.

And when they do co-operate say thank you.

1 2 3 4 5TO HELPMAINTAINGOODPHYSICALHEALTHOne of the best reasonsto take care of yourmouth is that peoplewith periodontal or gumdisease are almost twiceas likely to suffer fromcoronary artery diseaseaccording to recentstudies. Oral bacteria canenter the bloodstream,attaching to fatty plaquesin the heart’s bloodvessels, causing clots toform. Inflammation inthe gums contributes toswelling in the arteries.Regular dental cleaningswill likely reduce yourrisk of heart disease andstrokes.

TO PREVENTGUM DISEASE,BAD BREATH ANDTO KEEP YOURTEETHGum disease is aninfection in the gum tissuesand bone that keep yourteeth in place and is oneof the leading causesof adult tooth loss. Ifdiagnosed early, it canbe treated and reversed.Studies show that 85%of people with persistentbad breath have a dentalproblem that is to blame.Good oral hygiene isessential in preventingbad breath. If treatmentis not received, a moreserious and advancedstage of gum diseasemay follow, leadingto tooth loss. Regulardental cleanings andcheckups are key factorsin preventing this fromhappening.

TO DETECTDENTALPROBLEMSEARLYDr. Rahmany and thehygienists at SkylineDental Centre will be ableto detect any early signs ofproblems with your teethand gums. Early detectionof cavities, broken fillingsand gum disease areeasily treatable. If theseproblems go untreated,root canals, gum surgeryand removal of teethcould become theonly treatment optionsavailable. Your hygienistwill help to ensure that youare maintaining your oralhealth and will put youback on the right path ifyou fall off track with youroral care.

TO PREVENTORALCANCERAccording to HealthCanada, about 4000 newcases will be diagnosedin Canada this year, andabout 1500 people willdie from oral cancer thisyear. When you haveyour dental cleaning, weuse special equipmentgeared towards screeningfor oral cancer, whichis highly curable ifdiagnosed early.

BRIAN Turko has setfor himself the lofty goalof creating the world’sbest espresso.

After spending threerousing and informative hourswith him one recent morning,I believe he is already well onthe way to achieving this goal.

Turko is the co-founderand master roaster of MilanoCoffee, a Vancouver mainstaythat has spawned multipleoffshoot locations, includingone on Powell Street deep inthe historic brick and mortarlanes of Gastown. It was therethat I joined him to learnmore about the latest trend toemerge within Vancouver’s javaculture: the single origin coffee.

As you might expectfrom someone who lives andbreathes espresso, Turko isintense. His narrative wovefrom one fascinating factabout his industry to anotherat a pace that made my headswim. As I listened to himdescribe the complex interplaybetween the varied flavourprofiles of coffee and oursensory responses, I realizedtwo things: firstly, that Turkois a one-of-a-kind coffeesavant, part artist, part scientist,with a frighteningly realisticblueprint for global conquest.The second thing I realized isthat I knew virtually nothingabout coffee, a beverage Inevertheless consume daily.

tell you is good coffee,” saidTurko , a 30-year veteran ofthe coffee business and theman responsible for Milano’sgold medal win for their Futuraespresso blend at the fourthannual International CoffeeTasting Competition in Italy.“It’s about what you thinktastes good.”

Milano Coffee is one of agrowing number of Vancouverpurveyors that have embracedthe single origin coffeephenomenon, a growingcraze among aficionados. Inthe broadest sense, these are

coffees that can be traced backto a single coffee growingregion or microclimate. Insome cases the beans can evenbe traced back to a single farm.They present a stark contrastto most of the coffees weconsume, which are blends ofbeans from multiple estates andregions, mixed to complementeach other’s strengths andmask each other’s weaknesses.

For Turko, single estatecoffees are vehicles throughwhich consumers can beginto access what he calls the“mouth’s IQ,” the sum totalof factors both sensory andpsychological that contribute

to our enjoyment of flavours.“Espresso, which by

definition must be a blend, ishedonistic,” said Turko. “Itsrichness appeals to us on aprimal level.”

This base sensory responsecannot be elicited with thesame intensity by single origincoffees, Turko argued, butthey still serve a vital role asthey help us to identify thecoffee characteristics thatappeal to us the most. Armedwith this subjective knowledgewe become savvy consumerscapable of making educatedchoices about the coffees wesupport.

Grady Buhler, qualitycontrol leader for JJ BeanCoffee, is also an advocate ofsingle origin coffees. But forBuhler, single origin coffeesare complex, satisfying andcomplete in their own right,displaying the subtleties of theirterroirs in ways only rivaled byfine wines.

At JJ Bean’s flagshiplocation on Commercial Drive,Buhler recently guided methrough the art of “cupping,”the globally acceptedtasting method of industryprofessionals. The processinvolves steeping coffee in asmall glass for four minutes,after which time the crust ofgrounds is broken to releasethe aromas.

Next comes the tastingcomponent, in which thecoffee is slurped from a spoonlike a hot soup. The act ofexaggerated slurping aeratesthe coffee and releases itsflavours.

I sampled threesingle estate coffees, eachexhibiting surprisingly subtlecharacteristics. For my money,the most enjoyable cup wasthe Gethumbwini, a singleestate coffee from Kenya. Itsnotes of fresh blueberries andcurrants balanced an animal-like gaminess.

“You have to rememberthat the growing popularityof single estate coffees is greatfor the farmers as well,” said

Buhler. “If a farmer’s estatehas perfect growing conditionsit can now be marketed andsold under the estate’s ownname, giving the farmerunprecedented recognition forhis efforts.”

Ultimately, Buhler agreeswith the notion that enjoymentis the bottom line, irrespectiveof a coffee’s origins. While themarket is increasing for singleorigin coffees, Buhler admits itis still a niche product.

I am fascinated by the singleorigin phenomenon. Thebackstories of the coffee estatesand farmers make me feel likeI am connected to the exoticlands in which the beans weregrown.

However, I must admit thatI still greatly admire the coffeeblender’s art. Sipping a singleshot of Conca D’oro espresso,painstakingly assembledand brewed by Turko, I feltmomentarily transportedto a place of pure sensoryindulgence. The experiencewas sublime and indeed primal.Single estate coffees feel moreacademic to me, rewarding theintellect more than the senses.

THE main ingredients that helpedthe North Shore Twins cook upan excellent season in the B.C.Premier Baseball League were allin the mix on Monday night asthe team rolled to an 8-0 win overthe Victoria Eagles in their finalregular season home game.

Playoff seeds were to be decided lastnight after North Shore News press deadlinebut the Twins know that they will finish inthe top four and will host a best-of-threeopening round playoff series this weekend atParkgate Park.

On Monday night the Twins lost 5-3 to open a doubleheader against theEagles but bounced back with a dominantperformance in Game 2 that started with theman on the mound, Brad Smith. The leftycomplemented his mid-80s fastball with awicked curveball that had Victoria’s battersswinging and missing all night. Smith’s finalline included just four hits and one walk insix innings with six strikeouts. The win washis 10th this season, tops in the league. TheVancouver native has a 1.11 earned-runaverage this season while striking out 75batters in 69 inning innings en route to a10-1 record.

“His biggest thing is he’s got a plus-pluscurveball,” said Twins head coach LarsonBauck after the game. “His curveball, like

it was tonight, it’s almost un-hittable whenhe’s on. He can throw a fastball in there at84, 85 and then he throws that curveball,it’s a tough pitch to hit. When he locates hischangeup and it’s around the plate, BradleySmith is one of the best there is. . . . He got10 wins in the Premier League. That’s toughto get — 10 wins in a 48-game season.”

When the Eagles did make contact theTwins demonstrated another strength —their steady defence. Infielders made all theplays asked of them and speedy outfielderscovered a lot of ground, tracking down anumber of well-hit balls.

The Twins aren’t slouches at the plateeither. In Monday’s win they racked up12 hits in six innings, led by centre-fielderTristan Graham whose bases-loaded doublein the third inning plated three runners andgave the Twins a comfortable 4-0 lead thatthey eventually doubled when they scoredfour more in the sixth. The Twins have beenhot at the plate for most of the year — sevenof their regulars are hitting above .300 thisseason, led by shortstop Anthony Cusatiwho is tops on the team with a .349 average,32 runs and 28 RBIs in 42 games.

The team has put up solid offensivenumbers despite losing the services ofslugging third baseman Lachlan Fontainewho only appeared in 18 games before hewas drafted by the Seattle Mariners andsent south to the MLB club’s rookie leagueteam.

“Lachlan is a big, strong, talented kid andhe went the professional route and as theTwins organization we’re happy and we’reproud,” said Bauck. “But every time youlose a player — even if it’s in the big leaguesto an injury — you’ve got to approach it ashey, it’s another opportunity for another guyand somebody’s got to step up. . . . It hurts

not having Lachlan’s bat in the lineup but we’ve got so muchdepth in our lineup it just comes down to playing defence.”

Smith isn’t a one-man show on the mound either — startersBrandon Chernoff and Clark Grisbrook didn’t put up gaudy wintotals like Smith did but both posted excellent stats throughoutthe season. Grisbrook, a power pitcher, stuck out 72 batters in73.2 innings while posting an excellent 2.09 ERA. Chernoff, asinker/slider pitcher, had an ERA of 1.80.

“On any given day all three of those guys can beat anybody inthe league,” said Bauck. “It’s nice to have that high-end depth.Usually in the premier league you get a couple of guys that arepretty good, but in our situation we have three guys that are reallygood.”

Those three starting pitchers have Bauck feeling good aboutthe team’s chances in the playoffs.

“Any time that you can run out there with top-three arms likewe have it’s going to give you a chance to win,” he said. “The firstround is always tough to get through because everybody has oneor two arms that can beat you. But if you get through the firstround and you have some pitching depth, like we do . . . we lookreally good matching up at the final four.”

Parry stays hot as PGA event loomsNORTH Vancouver golfer BrynParry continued his scorchingsummer, scoring a playoff winover pro Adam Hadwin in theChilliwack Open played July 6-7at Chilliwack Golf Club.

The win came just one week after Parrywon the PGA of Canada Championship, avictory that earned him a spot in the 2013RBC Canadian Open.

In Chilliwack Parry threw down thegauntlet in the first round, tying thecompetitive course record of 63 in around that included eight birdies overthe final 13 holes. Popular pro Hadwinresponded in Round 2, notching the lowround of the day with a five-under 66 thatincluded a birdie on the final hole to forcea playoff.

The pair then went shot-for-shotthrough three holes before Parry finallywon it on the fourth playoff hole —played on No. 18 — where he escapedfrom trouble off the tee by wrapping hissecond shot around a tree and onto thefringe and then knocking a chip withintwo feet of the cup.

Hadwin, meanwhile, missed an eight-footer for par, leaving Parry to tap infor the win. The victory, Parry’s fifthChilliwack Open title, earned the SeymourCreek Golf Centre pro a $2,000 prize aswell as valuable points in the VancouverGolf Tour Order of Merit list. The Orderof Merit winner will earn a bonus $2,500cheque sending them to the PGA Q-School of their choice.

Parry will tee it up in the CanadianOpen PGA event scheduled for July 25-28at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont.

• • •North Vancouver’s James Elson reachednew heights on the global stage recently,setting a personal best in high jump atthe IAAF World Youth Championshipsheld in Donetsk, Ukraine. Elson cleared2.04 metres, topping his old personalbest by one centimeter. It wasn’t enough,however, to move him on to the finalround of the event.

The NorWesters Track and Field Clubmember is entering his Grade 12 year atArgyle secondary. He won the provincialhigh school championship in high jumpand finished second in triple jump as aGrade 11 student this year.

Dorothea (Babs) Millerd FergusonMarch 9, 1921 - July 8, 2013

.

Dorothea Marjory (Babs) Stuart was born in Stettler Albertain 1921 and raised in Calgary. As WWII wound down, shemet Don Millerd of West Vancouver. They were married in1945. They moved in to a cannery shack on the grounds ofthe Millerd family salmon cannery which sprawled over fiveacres on the shores of West Vancouver. In 1958 theymoved from a cannery house to a larger house, but stilladjacent to the cannery grounds. A move necessitated by agrowing number of children. She remained headquarteredthere for the next 60 years.She raised six children who freely roamed the beaches andbushes of Caulfeild and Cypress Park. This busy brood wasraised without the assistance of dishwashers, microwaves,colour TVs, or mini vans. She had four kids before she had adryer; she had six kids before she had a car.Life revolved around the cannery, neighbours, Cypress Park,and St. Francis in the Wood Church. There were alwaysChristmas Eve carol sing-alongs and Easter egg hunts. In1968 she and Don bought a farm in the then remotePemberton Valley, and a new dimension was introduced tofamily life.After Don’s death in 1977 the farm remained a centre forgrowing and nurturing her burgeoning crop of grandchildren.Her first grandchildren mispronounced “Gran” as Dan. Shewas forever after “Dan” to her grandchildren.In 1985 she married John Ferguson also of WestVancouver. This joyous union began a new phase of her lifethat featured new relationships, interesting dinners, andmuch travel. John brought family of his own into the mix withhis two kids Jean and Ian along with their 3 children andgrandchildren. Babs drafted a willing “Grandpa John” into abusy family life. It was a happy time. Along the way, shediscovered that she had a heretofor hidden, butconsiderable, artistic talent as a painter and water colourist,leaving behind beautiful paintings of some of her favoriteplaces; the farm and the church. But the focus of liferemained her family. Along with Sunday dinners, and familyoutings, she hosted riding camps and art schools for hergrandchildren at the Pemberton farm.Babs led an active life. Her home was a noisy, raucousplace that welcomed all comers. As dinner neared she couldoften be heard to say “there is always room for one moreplate.” What she lacked in cooking skills she made up for inenthusiasm. A note on the fridge said, “When I was young Ihad six theories on raising children. Now I have six children andno theories.”Babs bore six children who gave her 21 grandchildren who, atlast count, had produced 10 great grandchildren. She wasthe matriarch of this clan in the grandest way. She taughther offspring the important things: work hard, love well, holdhands and look after each other.She was always active in her community, and in the life ofSt. Francis in the Woods Church. She ultimately received alifetime achievement award from the Diocese of NewWestminster. Life was characterized by her family, farm andfun.As she got old, Babs was heard to grudgingly say, “Old ageis the shits!” But although she bore her aging years withoutenthusiasm, she did so with acceptance. She was greatlyaided in this difficult enterprise by attentiveness of herdaughters, and by the remarkably professional andwonderfully loving caregivers at Hollyburn House.Last weekend she had had visits from some of her manychildren and grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thenext morning, at age 92, she peacefully died…of old age.She will be missed.A funeral will be held at St. Francis-in-the-Wood AnglicanChurch. 4773 Picadilly South, West Vancouver onWednesday, July 31 at 2:00pm.

All EternityCome Soar with meSprout wings and fly

Into an eternal & limitless skyWhere dreams grow wild

Futures unfoldTake with me heart & memories Gold.

Of Peaceful state where time stands still,No lines to wait – no one gets ill.Where no more days sit idle by,We talk, we laugh, no tears to cry.

No one grows old and no one sick,The hands of clocks no longer tick.Come hold my hand away we’ll go,Of parting ways we’ll never know.

Yours forever I will be, your daughter all Eternity.
