About 1,700 teachers onthe North Shore will castballots in a strike vote nextweek.

But so far, both teachers

and the government aretelling parents there’s noreason to panic about thethreat of an imminent strike.

OnTuesday, the B.C.Teachers Federationannounced they will conducta strike vote between

March 4 and 6. PresidentJim Iker said the strikevote is intended to send amessage to government thatteachers are unhappy withthe government’s positionat bargaining talks and withthe province’s wage offerthat includes a 0.5 per centincrease in the first threeyears.

“We can’t keep on gettingzero after zero,” said Daniel

Storms, president of theNorthVancouverTeachersAssociation, who representsabout 1,200 teachers.

Rob Millard, president oftheWestVancouverTeachersAssociation, who representsabout 550 teachers, said heanticipates teachers will voteoverwhelmingly in favour ofa strike.

But the union said thatdoesn’t mean teachers

will be walking off the job.Even if the strike vote isapproved, teachers won’twalk out, stop participatingin extracurricular activities ordoing report cards, said Iker.

The union will have 90days from the vote to takesome kind of job actionbefore having to holdanother vote. So far, theunion hasn’t said what thatmight be.

Peter Cameron,the government’s chiefnegotiator in the talks, toldreportersTuesday he wasdisappointed the unionhad decided to debate thecontract talks in the media.

Cameron described thegovernment’s wage offeras “an opening position,”adding, “One of the factorsin the negotiations should befiscal reality.”

The stern of the HMSFlamborough Head isnearly sunk.

After being granted areprieve from demolitionby City of NorthVancouvercouncil in January, councilvoted Monday night tocarry on with original plansto scrap the stern.

The stern, which hassat in various spots on thewaterfront since 2001, wasintended to be incorporatedinto the National MaritimeCentre.When that projectfell through in 2008because the provincepulled financial support,the Flamborough Headremained without a clearpurpose.

When an independentengineer inspected thestructure holding thestern in August last year,the report noted that the

Moodyville tree cutting raises ire

[email protected]

A Moodyville resident israising concerns aboutthe way the City of NorthVancouver and Port MetroVancouver have handledcutting down trees andworking too close to aneagle’s nest as part of theLow Level Road project.

Melanie Ptashynski dida walkabout of MoodyvillePark with PMV and city staffon Jan. 24 to get an idea ofhow many trees would becut in order to move theSpiritTrail. After learning itwould be a two-metre swathfor the trail plus a two-metrebuffer, Ptashynski said shewas pleased.But since the work was done,Ptashynski says it is closer tofive metres.

“I got my husband to putout measuring tape.Visually,you know it’s not,” she said.

Beyond that, Ptashynskiwas incensed to seethe whole slope side“devegetated” and workbeing carried out next toan eagle’s nest just south ofMoody Avenue.The barrierplaced around the eagle’stree only extends about 10

metres, when the port’swildlife habitat assessmentrecommends one-and-a-halftree lengths or up to 100 or200 metres if it is during thebreeding period.The reportstates that starts on Feb. 1.

And despite almost dailytrips to the park, Ptashynskisaid she has scarcely seenthe environmental monitorthe port has hired to keep aneye on the job site and stopwork if the eagles becomedistressed.

“When I was there lastweek, they were cutting treesright by the eagles nest,” shesaid. “There was pile drivinggoing on.The eagle wasobviously upset.There wereno environmental monitorson site when I was there(Feb. 13) and they werecutting trees.”

When the port cut downa tree with an eagles’ nest init to make way for the newLow Level Road last year, itprompted protests.

“Given they’ve alreadyremoved an eagles’ nest thatwas part of this project andgiven the public responseto that . . . they should begoing above and beyond tomake all efforts to minimizedisturbance.”

However, the treesremoved for the trail wereexactly in keeping withwhat the city informedthe neighbourhood, saidPeter Navratil, deputy cityengineer.The only oversight

may have been the cuttingdone on the slope.

“It didn’t come across inthe site meeting but therewas a piece of devegetationthat had to happen to realignthe SpiritTrail down towardHeywood where we’regoing to do the pedestrianoverpass. I think that wasmissed,” Navratil said.

As for the eagles’ nest,protecting it has been apriority for the port, saidJustin Pedley, PMV’s

director of trade areas.“At a high level, we

designed the whole roadaround that eagle tree sowe’re fully aware of the needto protect that eagle tree.The road was pushed outand around to protect it,”he said. “We’re taking downthe bare minimum of treesthat is required to eitherbuild to the road or buildthe SpiritTrail.We have nointention, by any means,to take any additional treesthan what are required forthe build or required forsafety.”

And, while a wider daterange work buffer aroundthe nest is preferable, theport is in compliance withthe federal and provincialregulations when it comes toeagles, Pedley said.

“One of the clearrequirements of the(Wildlife and MigratoryBirds Convention) acts isthat we don’t do any treecutting or impact any nestsin the bird nesting window,which is March 15 to Aug.15, so we’ve done all of ourtree cutting prior to that,”he said.

Under the contract withthe environmental monitorhired to keep an eye on thesite, the monitor is expectedto be there when workbegins and then stay for leastfour hours per visit.

“If the birds are in duress,then we would stop work.In fact, it’s happened oncealready,” he said.

cradle was showing signsof degradation includingrotting timber that wasnever large enough to bepermanent, and a shiftingof the cradle.The reportconcluded council shouldtreat addressing the failingstructure as a four out offive on its urgency scale,based on the moderaterisk posed to the public.Council voted behindclosed doors in Septemberto spend up to $250,000to decontaminate anddismantle the remains ofthe ship that was built justmeters away.

When that becamepublic knowledge inDecember, it promptedthe formation of SaveOur Stern, an amalgam ofvarious heritage groups withthe aim of keeping the sternon Lot 5 as a memorial tothe shipbuilding that oncehappened there.

Council agreed to

hold off on the work andask Roger Brooks, theconsultant leading thewaterfront revisioningprocess, to see how it couldbe included in any futureplans for Lot 5, thoughBrooks concluded the onlyspot for it would be onthe other side of LonsdaleQuay, inWaterfront Park.Council members calledthat a “non-starter.”

Keeping the sternwould cost at least $2.4million according to citystaff’s report, on top ofthe $1 million alreadyspent acquiring the ship’shull and engine, moving itaround and maintainingit.The City is also paying$10,000 a month to providesecurity.

But that cost could bejustified if council wouldmake the stern a priority,said Coun. Pam Bookham,who led the effort to saveit. Bookham said it still hadpotential to be used as partof one of the Shipyard’s

new buildings or otherwiseincorporate it into a family-friendly interactive exhibit.

Brooks’ vision, she said,was too similar to the oneshe had done for other cities,drawing a comparison toSeattle’s waterfront ferriswheel and the one pitchedfor the pier on Lot 5.

“We need to distinguishourselves.We can’t justduplicate what othercommunities have done.There’s something aboutthe Flamborough Head thatsets us apart,” she said.

Only Coun. Don Bellvoted with Bookham.

For the rest of council,the costs were too high andthe ship’s time had come.

Coun. Rod Clarksuggested much of thecommunity has gotten“used to it” but that wasn’tenough to justify keeping it.

“That doesn’t make itheritage and that doesn’tmake it viable. Above allelse, I’m a defender ofthe taxpayers’ purse.The

taxpayers have paid throughthe nose on this one. It’sbeen a bad bit of businessand there comes a pointwhere we have to cut outlosses and we’ve come tothat point,” he said. “TheFlamborough Head has hadher day.”

Coun. Guy Heywood,whose uncle Jimmy workedon the ship, agreed.

“If I remember uncleJimmy, he would havebeen appalled at having uspay $1 million for a hunkof metal like this withoutany kind of cost-benefit orvision of how it was goingto make the communitybetter so, with regret, Ithink we have to give up onthis one,” he said.

While the stern’s fateis largely sealed, staff willbring back one final reporton options for saving aportion of the metal andhaving it reworked intoa commemorative piecethat will be placed in theShipyards precinct.

A last blast of winterdumped about 20centimetres of snow onthe North Shore Sundayand Monday, bringingtree branches topplingdown on power lines andsending cars sliding off ofslick side streets.

The unexpected snowfallwas blamed for severalaccidents, including onewhere a driver who hadlimited visibility in the snowhit a pedestrian crossingthe street at Marine Driveand Pemberton Mondaymorning. Luckily therewere no serious injuries.

InWestVancouver,weather conditionscontributed to a pileupon the Cypress BowlRoad around 3:30 p.m.on Saturday afternoon,when a northbound vehicleslid across into oncomingtraffic.Three people weretaken to hospital withminor injuries.

A driver in the 8600-block of Seascape also hadsome explaining to do aftersliding into a neighbours’garage door, causing $4,000worth of damage.

One person phonedpolice to report skiddingand taking out a stopsign on Northwood earlySunday morning. A car alsoslid off Indian River Roadand landed on its roof.

Municipal crews werekept busy ploughing streetsand clearing fallen trees andbranches.

Branches falling on topower lines resulted inabout 2,400 customerson the North Shore beingwithout power duringvarious points in the snowstorm.

The largest outage wasto about 1,250 homes northof Highway 1 in NorthVancouver Sunday night.

Local ski mountainsweren’t complaining aboutthe weather.

Both Grouse andCypress reported gettingmore than 100 centimetresof new snow in the pastweek, including 13 cm offresh powder on Monday.

SpokeswomanJacqueline Blackwelldescribed the conditionson Grouse as “absolutelyspectacular.

“It looks like quite a fewpeople are playing hookey,”she said.

Flamburns outThe ship’s bell has rung for the

stern of the Flamborough, nowthat city council has decided it’s

not worth spending another $2.4 millionto keep it.

Abandoned by the province whenit pulled funding for the NationalMaritime Centre, the FlamboroughHead has been a ship, figuratively,without a rudder for the last six years.

With only a month’s lead-time and nocost estimates, the heritage advocates hadlittle chance of rescuing it from scrap.

Meanwhile, the latest staff reportconfirms, the mayor wasn’t kiddingwhen he said the ship’s cradle was asafety concern. It would have been niceto have the information six months ago.

It will be a shame to lose what isone of the most interesting featuresof our waterfront, second only to the

water itself but let’s not forget: the cityhas invested millions in heritage. Itoffers incentives for home or businessowners to restore and maintain theirheritage building.The city allows extradevelopment density in exchange forheritage preservation.

And future generations will also havesome of the original Shipyards buildings,the yellow crane, artifacts from theFlamborough Head and a brandspanking new museum, which will nodoubt pay appropriate homage to ourshipbuilding history just steps away fromwhere the stern rusts now — all in theShipyards district.

If the city follows through on plans toredevelop Lot 5, there will be far morepeople making the trip to the waterfrontwho can take in and appreciate theheritage pieces we have.

Dear Editor:Watching the

presentation of thewaterfront vision (Feb. 18)and comments from somecouncillors, it’s obvious thecampaign for the Novemberelection is underway.

Mr. Brooks, a“destination expert” whospent much time flogginghimself, has presentedhis vision for the CentralWaterfront.

This vision is likely tocost about $25 million,

plus another $20 millionfor a Ferris wheel that willbe built privately.

I can’t imagine theupkeep cost for the15,000-square foot-icerink from November toFebruary, supposedly the

months when it will beuseable.

This when seniorgovernments, and mostcitizens are being fiscallyprudent.

I can’t decide whetherthe quote of the night

should be: “how cool isthaaaaaat!” or “it willfall apart if you ask thepublic,” as he urgedcouncil to direct staff toget to work on it.Toni BoltonNorth Vancouver

Taxpayers deserve value for money fromTransLinkDear Editor:

So Mayor RichardWalton thinks that a newbus terminal, a third SeaBusand more buses for NorthVancouver are urgentpriorities and that the mainproblem is finding fundingfor them?

That is an outrageousstatement.

Here’s why: under theTransLink 10Year Planadopted in 2004 the NorthShore municipalities’taxpayers were to be taxed$ 250 million through aTransLink property tax forwhich we would receive only

$ 45 million of new services.Our $45 million was tobe roughly one-third for anew bus depot, one-thirdfor a third SeaBus with theimproved schedule thatthird SeaBus would bringand one-third for morebuses. (Sound familiar?)

The advocates for thenew levy were quite specificthat these were to be for newservices and not replacementof existing infrastructure.Back in 2004 I did ananalysis of these numbersand showed them to the latecouncillor Ernie Crist whoconfirmed that I correctly

understood what was thentheTransLink proposal.

Assuming the Newsis correctly reporting themayor’s words, the mayorintends to lobbyTransLinkto give us the privilegeof paying even more forservices, which definitelyare much needed servicesfor the North Shore.Thisignores that North Shoretaxpayers have already paidfive-fold for these servicesthrough the property taxlevy. Even if these numbersprojected in 2004 are outby 15-20 per cent what isundeniable is that we have

already more than paid forthese services which wehave not received.

What I understand fromthe mayor’s comments isthatTransLink has movedour property tax levy dollarsinto general revenue andspent them and if we are

going to get what we havepaid for we will have to payfor them all over again now.

As head of theTransLinkMayor’s Council it’s his jobto fight for our share of theTransLink pie — not tosurrender without a fightand then tell us we have to

pay all over again for whatwe have already more thanonce paid for.

It is high time NorthShore taxpayers got fairvalue for money fromTranslink.Lyle CraverNorthVancouver

Dear Editor:As another public

meeting is on us, the LynnValley Stop High-Risesgroup is once again stuffingflyers through mailboxes.

I encourage Lynn Valleyresidents to look at thefacts for themselves andsort truth from fiction.

The public meetingslast summer were packedwith people — includingthe Stop High-Rises group,who were specifically

invited to talk to the peoplechecking out the displays.It was impossible not tohear their message, yet amajority of people wereclear in saying that theyunderstand the need toredevelop the Lynn ValleyCentre site.

The current proposalfrom Bosa represents agood compromise betweenthe people who believethat two-storey strip mallsare the only acceptable

thing to build, and thedevelopers who — notsurprisingly — want thebest return for theirinvestments.

With yet another LynnValley Centre storefrontclosing this month — that’sseven stores, plus Zellersthat are empty — it’s surelytime for council to step up,show leadership, and getthis project moving ahead.Barry RuegerNorth Vancouver

NSRandCypress patrol rescue [email protected]

An out-of-boundssnowboarder made ithome safe Saturdaythanks to efforts byCypress Mountain skipatrol and North ShoreRescue.

North Shore Rescue

volunteers got the call forhelp around 7:30 p.m.,learning of a snowboarderwho was in chest-deepsnow after ducking underthe wire on the west sideof Hollyburn Mountain.

“Ideally, as soon as heknew he was in a difficultspot and lost, he shouldhave stayed put and called

9-1-1. Instead, for severalhours he was just trudgingaround in the snow andcalling his friends andtexting his friend usingup valuable battery poweron his phone,” said DougPope, North Shore Rescuesearch manager.

When Pope spokewith the lost man, he was

able to get the GPS co-ordinates off the subject’sphone, which placed himin the MontizambertCreek drainage below theHowe Sound Crest Trailnear the Bowen Lookout.

Giant cranearrives at Seaspan shipyards

[email protected]

The renovations atSeaspan’s shipyards aremoving full steam aheadwith the newest additionof a large gantry crane.

The crane, weighing300 tonnes and separatedinto three pieces becauseof its substantial size, leftChina about a month agoand arrived on B.C. shoresFeb. 20. It was shipped tothe Fraser Surrey Dockswhere it was offloadedonto barges to be moved toSeaspan’s shipyard.

“It’s a big milestonefor us because we’vebeen modernizing ourshipyards since we signedthe umbrella agreementfor NSPS (NationalShipbuilding ProcurementStrategy),” said BrianCarter, Seaspan president.“But this will be the firstreal landmark that willbe visible from quite adistance that people can

really see what we’re up tohere.”

Carter said the craneis a key part to Seaspan’sfacility.

“Ships are built in

blocks and the blocksare built in our variousfabrication facilities andthen when they’re entirelycomplete, the crane willlift them into place on

the vessels. It’s a veryefficient way of doing it,”said Carter. “It will alsosupport other operationsin the shipyard but itsmain purpose will be to

put blocks in place thatultimately form the ship.”

Carter said the assemblyof the crane, which alsoincludes thousands of otherparts, is a project unto itself.

“We have a cranecoming in to lift our craneinto place, so there’s a1,600 tonne crawler cranethat comes in 80 truckloads of equipment, ittakes about 10 days toassemble,” he said.

Seaspan is estimatingthe assembly, hook-up,testing and commissioningof the new gantry cranewill take several monthsand are targeting thissummer for completion.

The modernizationproject came with a $200-million price tag thatincludes six new buildingsas well as the gantrycrane and is scheduled forcompletion this fall.

Carter said they starteddesigning the shipyardin early 2012 and brokeground in October of thesame year.

“We’ve been progressingsteadily since and reallychanging the landscape ofour shipyard here in NorthVancouver,” he said.

Seaspan was awarded an$8-billion contract by thefederal government in 2011to build a polar icebreaker,three offshore fisheriesscience vessels, an offshoreoceanographic ship andtwo support ships, as well

as up to 10 CanadianCoast Guard non-combatships worth around $3-billion, including five 65-metre medium endurancemulti-tasked vessels and upto five 75-metre offshorepatrol vessels. Carter saidthe construction of thevessels would begin inOctober.

“After we build the firstfour science vessels we’llstart on the joint supportship and that work takesplace beginning in late2016 and that will be thelargest ship ever built inWestern Canada,” he said.

Seaspan plans to bringin more trades peopleonce the construction hasstarted.

“We have about 200

people in our productionwork force today andabout another 150 in ourmanagement staff andtechnical staff,” Cartersaid.

“So we’ll go from thatlevel to 1,000 people inthe production work forcein the 2016-2017 timeframe so the growth isquite significant over thenext three to four years.”

For many, our modernlives are so busy that,between working duringthe day, shuttling thekids to various activitiesand taking care of agingparents, there is littletime for growing agarden.

Our responsibilitiesare forcing many peopleto grow a garden onlyif it’s convenient andlow-maintenance.Theconvergence of a lack oftime, the desire to growlow-maintenance gardensand an increased desireto grow gardens that areenvironmentally friendlyis leading to significantchanges in the landscapeindustry.

There are of courseother factors drivingthis change, like asluggish world economy,environmental destructionworldwide, a high cost ofliving in the Metro region,and increasing taxes andfees for almost everything,including driving a caracross a bridge.Those

factors combined with theincreasing occurrence ofdroughts and a high levelof concern over out-of-control use of pesticides inour food system has causedpeople to take matters intotheir own hands.

Over the past severalyears I have noticed thatpeople are asking moreoften to eliminate theirlawns to replace them withattractive, low-maintenanceplantings. As well, peopleare frequently requestingdrip irrigation on timers,drought-tolerant plants,smaller plants that donot require pruning andoptions to go pesticide-freein the garden.

Many of my colleaguesin the industry arereporting similar trends intheir daily business.

To help those of youwho are looking to makechanges in the garden tosuit your lifestyle needs,here are some ideas tohelp your garden becomelow-maintenance andenvironmentally friendly.

What if I don’t have timefor weeding?

The only way to avoidalmost all weeding isto install mulch on theplanting beds. Use our ownhomegrown bark mulchfrom hemlock and fir treesand apply it five-eight

centimetres (two-threeinches) thick over theentire planting bed rightup to the base of all plants.Do not bury plant crownsduring installation. Do notpay for useless landscapefabric.Try to adjust anyperception you may havethat bark mulch is ugly oronly for shopping centres— it is not.

If you do not like barkmulch, use any otherorganic material likecomposted bark mulch(black in colour), woodchips or shredded leavesto cover the beds andsuppress weed growth.

Make time to growgreen

Gardensworth thetime and effort

Do I really need thatmuch lawn?

Ask yourself how muchlawn you really need andwhat you actually usethe lawn for. Do you eatit? Play or picnic on it?Do the kids use it? Doesthe dog or cat use it? Or,are you simply paying tokeep up with the Joneses?Lawn maintenance on ayearly basis costs twiceas much as planting bedmaintenance. Lawnsrequire billions of litresof water annually acrossCanada to maintain. Lawnsalso use large quantitiesof chemical fertilizers andpesticides to maintain.Shrub beds use a fractionof the consumption thatlawns do.

Water restrictions in ourregion were only broughtinto practice to limit theamount of water beingused to keep lawns greenduring summer drought,at a time of the year whenlawn grasses naturally godormant — brown is thenew green.

Alternatives to lawnsinclude veggie gardens,planting beds, groundcoverplantings, walkways,patios, playgrounds forkids, rock gardens andso many other beautifulfeatures that improve youroutdoor living space whileprotecting your wallet andthe planet.

If I can’t spray pesticidesto control bugs what doI do?

Firstly, determineaccurately that pesticidesare actually needed.Approximately 50 per centof all pesticides are applied

to be preventative.Youwouldn’t take antibioticsall the time to avoidgetting sick, so why applypesticides if there is noproblem?

Secondly, improve soiland plant health so plantsare better able to defendagainst pests and diseasespreventing infestation inthe first place. Mulching,amending the soil atplanting time and avoidingchemical fertilizers arethe first steps to take toimprove plant and soilhealth.

Thirdly, learn how to killunder-performing plants.Notwithstanding heritageor nostalgically importantplants, the nursery industryin Canada is producingso many great plants thatfinding a replacement forany problematic plantis as simple as a visit tothe local garden centre.The first thing I teachstudents is how to culland kill unworthy plants.They don’t like it but it isabsolutely required.

There are many otherways to grow towards alow-maintenance gardenincluding proper plantselection, pruning only fora reason and so on.

Ultimately, each personfinds a way to grow theirgarden within their ownphilosophical and timelimits.

It’s not easy but I assureyou it is absolutely possibleand worthwhile, if notfor ourselves then for ourchildren.

Do you have a set ofcopper pots hiddenaway in your cupboardbecause they are just tootarnished to use?

I’m starting to seecopper pots make acomeback in kitchens.We all love the look andcooking performance ofthese pots but the routinecleaning of them canbecome tiresome.

If you have a set, orperhaps are thinking ofpurchasing a set, there area couple of things you maywant to keep in mind.

Firstly, if you have anold set of copper pots besure to check them oververy carefully for anyscratches or scrapes thatmay have occurred overtime.

In Canada, it ismandatory that thecooking surface of copper

pots be coated in anothermetal. Stainless steel isusually the popular choice.Check to make sure thisis the case as copper canbe poisonous. Only theoutside surface of the potshould be exposed copper.If you are unsure as tothe condition of your potsthen best to stop usingthem.

If your coppercookware is badlytarnished then there aremany commercial coppercleaners on the marketthat will clean them upnicely.

Home Depot carriestwo brands that I quitelike.The first is BrassoMetal Polish and thesecond is called Tarn-X.

Both are equally good forcleaning copper but besure to rinse and wash well

after applying the cleaner.If you are in a pinch

and don’t have time to

pick up a copper cleanerthen this trick may be foryou.

A simple paste ofone-part table salt andone-part all-purpose flourmixed with some whitevinegar will take off mostof your copper tarnish.Simply add the vinegar alittle at a time until a pasteis formed and apply thepaste with a soft cloth.

Be sure to rub all thepaste onto the coppersurface and rub quitevigorously.

You should see theresults very quickly.

For darker spots youmay have to scrub a littlelonger or perhaps resort toa commercial cleaner.

I tried this on mycopper pots and the resultswere fantastic. I had to usea small brush to get thespaces around the handleas well.

When you are done,rinse the pot with coldwater and dry with a softcloth.

PARENTING

Nip tattling in the budAndrea and her friendsare playing happily in thefamily room.

You can hear the voicesof the three eight-year-oldsas they hold a tea party withthemselves and all theirdolls and stuffed toys.Theyare clearly having a greattime.

But suddenly Andrea’sfriend Ashley comesrunning into the kitchen.“Andrea and Justine aren’tplaying fair,” she announces.

You look up and you cantell this is another case ofAshley tattling on the otherkids. Ashley has a look ofrighteous indignation. “Youneed to come and tell themto behave!” she announces.

This is a clear case oftattling. Handling tattlingis frustrating.The tattler isconvinced that she is in theright and that it’s importantthat you come and deal withthe misbehaving kids.Youcan almost see her rubbingher hands with glee as sheconsiders that her friendsare going to be in trouble.

Or, Andrea and herfriends are playing happilyin the family room.You canhear the voices of the three

eight-year-olds as they holda tea party with themselvesand all their dolls andstuffed toys.They are clearlyhaving a great time.

But then, Andrea’s friendAshley comes runninginto the kitchen. “Justinedropped a glass onto thefloor and there is glasseverywhere.” This is clearlynot a case of tattling, she istelling. Her demeanor is oneof concern and fright. Sheknows this is serious andsomeone could be hurt.

And that’s the differencebetween tattling and telling.

When a child wants toget other kids in trouble,she is tattling, when she sees

that someone is in troubleand needs protection or isgoing to wreck someoneelse’s property, that istelling.

You can usually tell thedifference by the attitude ofthe child.The tattler has herhalo glowing with righteousindignation.The teller isclearly frightened and needshelp.

That being said, how doyou deal with a child whotattles?

First, consider why theydo it. Some consider it istheir responsibility to savethe world from all wrongsand need to have an adult tohelp deal with the offender,and some want to belabelled the good kid.

The best way to handle atattler is to refuse to engage.If this is the first time shehas tattled just let her knowthat she is tattling and youdon’t want to deal with that.

Don’t give her eyecontact, just keep on doingwhatever you were doing.You can ignore her or justsay, “ummm.” Or you cansay, “I bet you kids can workit out together.”

If you can hear that the

problem is accelerating,go to the family room andsummarize the situationwithout any blame. Makea subtle suggestion or twoand then let them work itout. For example, “I see thatthere are three girls herewith three dolls and threestuffed toys. I know youguys can figure out how tomake this work.”

When you have a groupof kids over to play and youknow that one is a tattler tryto nip the problem in thebud. At the point at whichyou realize she will usuallyshow up, you go in with atreat or game suggestion.

If you are having anongoing problem with aspecific child who loves totattle there are some stepsyou can take. Make sureyou are paying attention toher when she’s not tattling.Get her involved in a projectwhere she can be successfuland feel good about herself.Teach her, and the groupshe plays with how toproblem solve. Have themthink about a problem anddiscuss options.What couldthey do? How could theyhandle it differently?

Once Ashley no longerfeels the need to tattle shewill be a happier child andyou will enjoy having her inyour home.

Spring break is almost here, and manyparents are starting to feel exacerbatedby the amount of time off school thatchildren have nowadays. With early

dismissals at least once a month, a professionalday at least once a month, and 2 weeks off forwinter, and spring break, not to mention thenormal summer vacation of 9 weeks. So thequestion is how to turn this down time into uptime? How can you make sure that your childor children are getting the most out of this timeaway from school?

The answer for many parents is day-camps, andbe it bike camp, hockey camp, or art camp thesecamps all offer a single experience for a week ata time generally. One camp that offers a differ-ent experience every day though is Bee HavenChildcare’s day-camps. With each day of springbreak centering on a different theme, Bee Ha-ven’s day-camps offer something for every child:mad science, dinosaurs, gymnastics, amazingrace, geo-caching, dance, sports, andswimming. For those children who thrive on newexperiences, the originality and variety of BeeHaven’s camps leave every day feeling like anew adventure, with a detailed day planconsisting of games, crafts, scavenger huntsand of course fun trips!

At a Bee Haven day-camp children are led byexperienced year round after school care staff,who are trained in the fields of education andchildcare. Parents need only pack a lunch, andany supplies specific to the day attending, suchas a bathing suit on a swimming day. Camp feescover the whole day from 7:00am-6:00pm, sothere is no extra cost for before and after campcare. There are 2 nutritional snacks provided perday, and all costs associated with trips arecovered by enrollment fees, so there won’t beany surprises, like at some camps. With 2locations to choose from, and flexible enrollmentoptions Bee Haven is definitely worth checkingout this spring break.

The camp locations are both in Lynn Valley; St.Clements church at 3400 Institute Road, andMt. Olivet church at 1700 Mountain Highway.Bee Haven also offers full day-camps on winter,and summer breaks, and as always Bee Haven isopen to all children.

High school can be a bitof a roller coaster, to saythe least.

I have been going toWest Vancouver Secondaryfor five years and havebeen able to witness itgrow and change. Beingpart of a school with suchdiversity and with so manyopportunities is reallyimportant to me and Iam thankful for what myschool has to offer.

No matter the schoolthough, each studentwithin it will be faced withchallenges. Many peopleassociate bullying withyoung children on theplayground, but that’s notexclusively the case.

Particularly in recentyears, and lookingforward, the relatively newphenomenon of socialmedia has perhaps openedthe door to increasedbullying. Although notalways intentional, it issomething that will be a

SKYLARBROCKIEContributing writer

Pink Day is a time foranyone to shine.

It is a day wheneverybody is acceptedfor who they are, andeveryone can celebratetheir talents anddifferences.

I may not get bulliedor picked on often, butI can understand whatit’s like. It’s hard to fit inwith peers when you areconsidered “different” or“odd.” I find that whenyou know what it’s likeyou are more eager tohelp people like you.

Pink Day helpspeople remember thatyou have the powerto make people feelspecial. Everyone hasspecial talents that aredifferent from anyoneelse, and Pink Day isan opportunity to showthem off. Sometimesall people need is forsomeone to tell them,“Hey, you’re good at

that,” or “That’s reallycool.”

People can find theirpassions just by someonecomplimenting them onsomething they hide awayin themselves or that theyare judged for.

I feel privileged tobe participating in PinkDay this year and it issomething I am proud to

spread the word about.There is something that

we can do about bullying.It is not an inevitable partof growing up.

Now is your time toshine!

part of our lives, no matterthe age, unless somethingis done. Anyone can bebullied, but anyone canalso be a bully.

Bullying does not haveto happen. Pink Day isthe first step. It is thefirst concerted step ineducating people to bemore aware of themselvesand others in a positiveway, and perhaps moreaware that innocent

actions can have negativeresults.

Diversity should bea celebrated thing, andPink Day allows for that.Positive actions make adifference.We have thefreedom to be who wewant to be.

We SupportPink Shirt Day

All of us at the North Shore News arewearing PINK to help put a stop to bullying.


Brooksbank elementaryis a happy and welcomingschool to be at.

We take care of eachother and understand thatwe are all responsible forstanding up for the rightthing.This year, we will allbe wearing our pink shirtsto show each other andourselves what it means tobe a part of such a greatand supportive school. Bis for Belonging.When wewalk through the hallwaysat Brooksbank, bullying isnot something we’re alwaysthinking about.

When Grade 7 studentsspeak at our Pink Dayassemblies, they talk abouthow bullying happens, why ithappens, and what we can alldo to change it.They sharestories with us, some that arevery sad, and that helps us tosee how painful and hurtful

it is. It makes us feel inspiredto do good and to take careof ourselves and our friends.We changed our Pink Dayslogan from “Don’t Bully” to“Do Good” because peopleseem to respond better to“do” instead of “don’t.”

We do activities thatgroup us together with kidsfrom other classes and othergrades, to do teamworkprojects. Sometimes we evenhave competitions to seewhich team can work thebest together.We also havemulticultural workshopsthat help us to explore ourown family culture and learnabout other people’s culturesand beliefs.We even have apotluck lunch so everyonecan bring a meal from homethat we can try. It’s fun tomake friends in differentgrades, and it makes playingat recess much more fun

since we get to knoweverybody’s names and faces.There are lots of things wedo at Brooksbank to help usall feel like we are connected,like we all belong.

Just like brothers andsisters, we don’t always getalong. Sometimes we getteased or we see someonebeing teased, but we have thecourage to stand up and talkabout it with our teachers.

Our teachers are kind oflike parents.They help ussort out our problems, andgive us a pick-me-up whenwe need it.We have teachersat our school who have nevertaught us, but still know eachof our names. Our schoolfeels a lot like family.

Written by Brooksbankelementary students OliviaSherman,Nikayla Allen andFaith Grant.

Pink Day meansmaking a constant,continued effort tocombat bullying andto create a safe, caringenvironment in not onlyyour school, but yourcommunity.

It’s often difficult forstudents, especially inyounger grades, to feel asense of belonging whenfaced with the large,intimidating world of highschool.The transitionfrom elementary schoolwill often leave studentsfeeling isolated in theirnew school, leaving themvulnerable to bullying andfeelings of self-doubt.

There are many waysto combat these feelings ofbeing disconnected, one ofthe best being to becomeinvolved in one’s school.From our own experiences,joining Sutherland’sstudent council and dramaclubs gave us confidence,friends in different grades,and a feeling of beingmuch more connected toour school.

Still, new students

will often have difficultiesbecoming involved or willchoose not to be becausethey are unaware of just howbeneficial this involvementcan be.

A few Sutherlandstudents are seeking tochange this by developinga project that involvesproducing a completelystudent-run play.We willuse this production andrelated improv workshopsat elementary schools towork towards a commongoal: increasing the sense ofbelonging felt by elementaryschool students whenmoving into high school.

Hopefully, the productionwill connect the communityto Sutherland and its dramaprograms and introducefuture Sutherland studentsto the school and the extra-curricular opportunities thatit offers.This could be oneway that newer students canbegin to develop a senseof belonging to the schooland help create a supportivestudent body that cancombat, and eventually stop,bullying.

A Canadian sparklingwine may not be calledChampagne as thatdesignation is protectedby law.

In fact, many countrieshave outright bannedthe use of the termChampagne for domesticproducts, reserving itexclusively for wineshailing from the clearlydemarcated parameters ofthe Champagne region ofNortheastern France.

Champagne is perhapsthe best known exampleof a legally protected,geographically contingentfood product, but otherexamples abound,including cheeses (Stilton,Gorgonzola), specialtymeats (Iberico andWestphalian hams) andcondiments (Balsamicvinegar).

Perhaps the mostinteresting instance of alegally protected food ispizza Napoletana.

Traditional Neapolitanpizza, that hand-shaped,thin-crusted, simplytopped culinary marvelthat has arguably pavedthe way for all othergarnished flatbreads theworld over, has a strict setof criteria that define it.

In 1984, a not-for-profitgroup, the AssociazioneVerace Pizza Napoletana(AVPN), was formed inNaples, Italy, to protectand promote the traditions

of the region’s celebratedpizza making techniques.The AVPN put forth acomprehensive set ofstandards that pizzaioli(pizza makers) mustuphold if they wish tocall their pizzas trueNeapolitan.

These standardsinclude the type of flourand yeast used to makethe dough, the thickness ofthe crust, and the bakingtemperature of the pizza.

Unlike most other foodswith protected names,the Neapolitan pizza maybe produced outside ofits traditional geographicboundaries provided

the product bearing thename conforms to thesestandards.

I recently learned thatright here on the NorthShore efforts are beingundertaken to produceauthentic Neapolitanpizza.

Giardino, a new entryinto the casual Italiandining scene, offers fineexamples of this celebratedpie alongside traditionalItalian pastas, salads, andpanini.

The restaurant occupiesa small space on West15th Street near LonsdaleAvenue that has seen anumber of failed ventures

in recent years.On the evening of my

visit, the room was dimlylit but welcoming, itsbrick and wooden interiorexuding a certain warmth.

An etched light fixtureon the far side of theroom projected a giantgeometrical flower on thewall.Tables were set withsmall bottles of home-infused olive oils, somewith chilies and some withsprigs of thyme.

The small but thought-ful wine and beer list wasclearly developed withfood pairing in mind andthe restaurant offers amid-week reprieve from

corkage fees for thoselooking to bring their ownbottle.

I suspect the trend ofrelatively frequent turn-over in this space is goingto stop here, as wordspreads of Giardino’smeticulous attention todetail in the preparationand service of accessibleItalian fare.

For its pizza dough,Giardino uses an importedspecialty flour fromCaputo, a renownedproducer in Naples.Theflour is precisely milled foruse in wood-fired ovens

TASTE

operating at temperaturesabove 700° F and boastsa balance of glutensand other proteins thatyield the uniquely crispy,chewy textures for whichNeapolitan pizza is noted.

My wife DJ and Isampled a healthy crosssection of the menu,beginning our meal withtwo, eight-inch pizzas, atraditional margherita anda funghi.

The eight-inch pizzasare billed as appetizers andare very reasonably pricedat just $8 each.

Immediately evidentwas the quality of the cruston these pizzas: springy,

thin, crisp in places butsoft enough to fold over oreat with a knife and fork.

The margherita offereda decadent amount of fiordi latte mozzarella, freshtomatoes and basil with adrizzle of fragrant olive oil.

The funghi, packedwith sliced mushrooms,was finished with ahandful of tart andpeppery arugula, a nicecontrast to the earthyrichness of the maintopping. Based on theseinitial samplings I’d bekeen to try Giardino’sother pizzas, including anunusual creation toppedwith pistachios.

Though Neapolitanpizza might be Giardino’s

focus, one would be remissto overlook the excellentpastas on offer here.

I tried the restaurant’stake on spaghetticarbonara, for meeasily one of the richestand most consistentlyenjoyable traditionalItalian pastas.

The parmesan andcream-based, egg-finishedsauce was expertlyprepared to just coat thenoodles without beingsoupy while a healthy doseof black pepper enlivenedthe dish. Sumptuous,thick-cut morsels of baconcontributed a welcomesalty crispiness.

DJ sampled a complexand flavourful creation

of fettuccine tossed inhomemade pesto withcherry tomatoes andsliced olives, a garlicky,robust dish that lent itselfparticularly well to thewine we paired with themeal, a straightforwardand nicely acidic Barberawith subtle notes oflicorice and sour cherry.

To balance our heartymains we tried a noveland surprisingly addictiveriff on calabrese salad,made here with broccoli,sunflower seeds, loads ofparmesan cheese and alight dressing.

Giardino is located at115 West 15th St. in NorthVancouver. 604-770-4484giardinopizzaria.com (Besure to check out theirnicely produced, behind-the-scenes video on pizzapreparation.)

There were two bigprizes up for grabs forthe Capilano Blueswomen’s volleyball teamas they hosted the PacWestprovincial championshipslast weekend. In thisinstance, one out of twoain’t bad. In fact, it’s prettydarn good.

The Blues battled all theway to the championshipfinal before finally fallingto the No. 1-ranked teamin Canada, theVancouverIsland University Mariners.The loss left the Blueswithout the gold, butthe silver lining wasthat Capilano qualifiedfor the CCAA nationalchampionships just bymaking the final.ThePacWest league was allottedtwo spots in the big showand so bothVIA and CapU will make the trip toToronto’s Seneca Collegefor the March 6-8 nationalchampionships.

“It feels awesome, I’mvery proud,” said head coachCalWohlford of earning aticket to nationals.Wohlfordis in his second year as theBlues boss after taking overfor longtime coachWayneDesjardins. “Wayne has builtthis (program) up and for 13years he worked hard and it

feels good to come in hereand continue the traditionthat he started.”

The Blues looked likethey might win it all in thefinal held Saturday night atthe Capilano Sportsplex,battling the Mariners to astandstill in the opening set.VIU took a 24-23 lead inthe opener but the Bluestied it up on a monster killfor third-year power hitterSara Pettersson.That high,however, immediately turnedinto a low as Pettersson,one of the team’s captains,landed awkwardly at thebase of the umpire stand andstayed down, clutching ather knee. Pettersson left ina wheelchair and, it wouldseem, the team’s spirit leftwith her.The Marinersscored three of the next fourpoints to win the set 27-25and from then on it wasallVIU as they used theirbalanced attack to blast awaya 3-0 win, 27-25, 25-17,25-16.

The loss of one of theirteam leaders at such acrucial moment shook upthe Blues, said Capilanolibero Jacqueline Caverly.

“It hit our team prettyhard.We just couldn’trecover as well as we’d like tothe rest of the match.”

Petterssson, a native ofSweden who was finishingup her second year with

Capilano, was laterdiagnosed with a torn ACLand will miss the nationalchampionships. Losing herdid more than just take awayone of their best players, saidWohlford.

“Sara is one of ourmature athletes and holdsthe confidence of the team alittle bit,” he said. “She’s oneof those players who staresat teammates’ eyes. Evenwhen she makes mistakesshe doesn’t get down, she’s

just like ‘OK, c’mon, giveme the ball.’When you losethat, some players have atendency to say, ‘who’s goingto do that now.’ And someof our older players shouldhave stepped up a bit morebut I think they were a littleshell-shocked.”

Wohlford, however, wasquick to add thatVIU was avery deserving champion.

“VIU is super strong.It was going to be a battle,there’s no doubt. I don’t

feel like we missed anopportunity to win a goldmedal, I think we just missedan opportunity to fight forone.”

VIU middleTylarTurnbull was nearlyunstoppable on attack,slamming down seven killswithout committing a singlehitting error on her way toearning Player of the Matchand tournament MVP

Pack comeback falls [email protected]

A stirring comeback forthe NorthVanWolf Packfell just short Saturdaynight in PJHL playoffaction against the DeltaIce Hawks and now thePack will need to scratcheven harder if they areto advance past the firstround.

TheWolf Pack fell behind5-2 in the second periodSaturday at Harry Jeromerecreation centre in gamethree of their seven-game

series but rallied to scorethree unanswered goals totie it up.The comeback wasspearheaded by MitchellCrisanti and Marcus Houckwho each either scored orassisted on all three goals tomake it 5-5.

NorthVancouver pressedthe issue in the dyingminutes of the third butcould not get the go-aheadgoal and the game went intoovertime.The teams tradedseveral chances in the extraframe but it was Delta’sMarkTrotman who finallyfound the back of the net

seven minutes in, beatingNorthVan goalie BradenKrogfoss with a wrist shotthrough a crowd on a quickcounterattack for the IceHawks. Krogfoss enteredthe game midway throughthe second period, replacingAndersTenVaanholt whogave up four goals on 21shots.

Houck ended the nightwith four points while theIce Hawks were paced byMak Barden who matchedHouck’s output with a goaland three assists to earn firststar honours for the game.Delta’s Colton Kroeker alsoracked up four points withtwo goals and two assists.

NorthVan drew firstblood in the series Feb. 18 atLadner Leisure Centre withQuintonVitek scoring inovertime to clinch a 4-3 win.Game 2 was Friday night at

Harry Jerome and the IceHawks screeched to a 4-1win despite theWolf Packholding a 34-27 edge inshots. Kroeker was the staragain with a hat trick and anassist.

The series shifted backto Delta for game 4Tuesdayafter North Shore Newsdeadline.TheWolf Pack,formed in Squamish in 2008and playing out of NorthVancouver since the 2011-12 season, are attemptingto score their first playoffseries win in franchisehistory.They finished secondin the PJHL’sTom ShawConference this year, fivepoints ahead of the IceHawks.

honours.VIU setter AshleyCousens and power hitterMegan Groenendijk werenamed tournament all-stars.The Mariners also had aNorth Shore connection onthe floor in Sutherland gradLeanna Gildersleeve, a fifth-year power hitter who wasrecently named the PacWestplayer of the year. She’sa player that Capilano’scoach knows very well fromthe time both spent withthe North Shore’s BCOVolleyball Club.

“I used to coach her —she’s like a second daughterto me,” he said, chucklingand nodding when asked if itwould have been nice to haveher on his side of the net inthe final. “She’s an awesomeperson, awesome player.She’s going hard. She’s acompetitor all the time.”

As for the Blues, the lossin the final stung but, asidefrom that, they’ve beenplaying their best volleyballof the season over the pastfew weeks, saidWohlford.They started the PacWestchampionship with a 3-0sweep of the sixth-seededDouglas College in thequarterfinals and then faceda semifinal matchup againstthe University of the FraserValley Cascades, seededsecond in the tournamentand ranked No. 4 in Canada.

With a berth in thenational championships onthe line the Blues came outswinging, winning the firstset 25-19.The Cascades,defending provincial and

national champions, foughtback the rest of the way butCapilano always managedto come through at crucialmoments and came awaywith another 3-0 sweep, 25-19, 25-23, 25-23.

“Huge win for us,” saidWohlford. “We came outwith our A-game.We werevery disciplined, we ranwhat we wanted to run, westopped them when theywent on little runs.We cameup with big digs and bigplays. It was a great match.”

Power hitter KelsiBoroevich led the way with13 kills against only twohitting errors. She was laternamed to the tournamentall-star team along withCaverly.

Caverly was also recentlynamed a PacWest first-teamall-star for her play duringthe regular season. Followingthe final she reflected onplaying her last match on theCapilano court.

“It’s a little sad.We wouldhave liked to have had a goldmedal, but you can’t win agold medal every day.”

• • •On the men’s side the third-seeded Douglas CollegeRoyals defeated the No. 1Columbia Bible CollegeBearcats 3-1 to take thePacWest title.The Blues menlost 3-1 to College of theRockies in the quarterfinals.
