“In a hole in the groundthere lived a hobbit.Not a nasty, dirty, wethole, filled with theends of worms and anoozy smell, nor yet adry, bare, sandy holewith nothing in it to sitdown on or to eat: it wasa hobbit-hole, and thatmeans comfort.”

– J.R.R. Tolkien

JEREMY [email protected]

She’s been looking fora parking spot for sixmonths – but not for acar.

Fresh from university,Samantha Gambling is anaberration among millenni-als: a homeowner.

While her peers takedecades to save for a downpayment, Gambling is nearlyhalfway to having her housepaid for.

There’s just one catch:she’s not sure where to parkit.

The University of BritishColumbia graduate is theproud owner of a 10- by22-foot home – a structurecloser to a doll’s house thana West Vancouver mansionin both size and price.

Gambling wants hermobile mini to be the firstlegally parked tiny house inNorth Vancouver, somethingshe playfully equates with:“the first stage of a non-violent revolution.”

“This is where my com-munity is and this is whereI want to work on issues todo with sustainable agricul-ture,” she says. “But I can’trealistically live here andown my own home.”

When the last nail hasbeen pounded, Gamblingestimates her tiny homewill cost $80,000 – aboutsix per cent of the cost ofan average house in MetroVancouver.

At the moment, Gamblinghas her eye on a LowerLonsdale backyard as apotential parking spot.

“If I don’t get the landthat I’ve been looking at …I would have to start fromscratch,” she said.

! ! !It wasn’t that long ago

tiny houses were a punch-line: “Your house is so smallyou had to go outside to eata large pizza.”

“When your mommadropped a Kleenex she hadwall-to-wall carpeting.”

But when homelessnessin Seattle reached a crisispoint recently, with a onenight count documenting3,772 people without shel-ter, the city invested in tinyhomes.

The Emerald City’s thirdtiny house encampment forhomeless people opened inRainier Valley last March.In the private sector, a 2015Seattle Times article listed2,380 tiny homes in variousstages of development.

While there’s no studydelineating the risks andbenefits of tiny housesspecifically, it’s a truism thatmore affordable housing isgood for public health, saidNorth Shore public healthofficer Dr. Mark Lysyshyn.

“You’ve got to be theright type of person,”Lysyshyn advises. “Youput a four-person family inone of those and probablythat’s going to lead to someconflict.”

For someone who can

work in a cafe and resistthe lure of the couch, a tinyhome could be just the rightfit, according to Lysyshyn.

After spending the lastdecade as a student – aperiod that saw her pay-ing rent in a Vancouver

attic that may make hertiny home feel spacious –Gambling is adamant shewants to go small and gohome.

“I may not have afull-time income (from vol-unteering and working with

NGOs) and I’m OK with thatas long as this tiny housegives me the freedom.”

That freedom can comewith literal and figurativecosts, notes Zee Kesler, oneof the artists behind theMagic Trout Imaginariumtiny house at Trout Lake inVancouver.

After listening to treebranches scrape paint offa tiny house’s roof whilelooking for a place to parkand shelling out cash for thetowing fees that piled upwhen she had no place toput her tiny house, Keslerhas no shortage of tips.

Besides not painting theroof, Kesler recommendsincorporating the wastesystems, water and heatinginto the design early.

Homeowners should alsobe wary of guests who don’tmove out.

“I’ve heard that peoplereally like living in themuntil they have their first orsecond kid,” she says.

While rural towns maytake a relaxed approach tozoning, city regulations arestringent, Kesler warns.

“Don’t count on parkingit in somebody’s backyard.”

Not only do backyardspresent a logistical chal-lenge for parking, there’salso the prospect ofneighbouring homeownersnot taking kindly to tinyinterlopers.

“Be aware that there’sprobably going to be sometension.”

The City of NorthVancouver is doing theirbest to ease that tension,according to city plannerMichael Epp.

“At a staff level, a tinyhouse is basically just a

really small coach house,”he said. “They’re not scary,it’s not going to cause neigh-bourhood change that’sworrisome.”

City regulations forbidparking mobile homes onprivate property, but a littledecking could be addedto hide the trailer, Eppexplains.

The tiny house wouldneed staff approval – notcouncil approval – to park.

“We are looking forinnovations on housingaffordability,” Epp says. “Ifsomebody can make it work,I think the city’s interestedin helping them.”

That’s good news forGambling, who has savedand salvaged to make thehome a reality. She foundFrench doors in online clas-sifieds, scavenged windowsbound for the dump, andgrabbed old fence boardsfor her home’s panelling.

While she was initiallypropelled into the tiny homein the hopes it would takeher off the grid, Gamblinglaughingly acknowledgessome of her dreams were“being popped.”

Building codes nixed acompost toilet and a winebarrel shower, and the cityassured her she neededto connect to municipalservices.

With $35,000 of her ownmoney invested, Gamblingis hoping to crowd-fund

$20,000 through Generosity.com to help finish.

Asked why people shouldgive her money, Gamblingturns pensive.

It’s more than a house,it’s a movement, sheexplains, a new way of livingand new concept of normal.

“It’s about living

mindfully, without excess.It’s about acknowledgingand taking responsibility forthe impact that our dailyactions have on our environ-ment, our communities, andour own health.”

It would be small, butit would be her home. Andthat means comfort.

The government takes.And sometimes the gov-ernment gives back.

In an about-face this week,Education Minister MikeBernier announced schooldistricts will get to keep the$25 million the province previ-ously ordered cut from theirbudgets in “administrativesavings.”

On the North Shore, thechange of heart means theNorth andWest Vancouverschool districts will collec-tively get back about $950,000.

North Vancouver schoolswill get back just over $665,000while West Vancouver schoolswill see a little under $285,000returned.

North Vancouver schoolssuperintendent John Lewissaid the return of the moneymeans “the board will now beable to direct some of thosefunds to priorities identifiedin our budget consultationprocess.” He said decisions onwhere the money will go willlikely be made in September.

Unlike some school dis-tricts faced with the prospectof closing schools or makingdeep cuts to programs, boththe North Vancouver andWestVancouver school boardsbalanced their budgets for the

coming school year withoutresorting to suchmeasures.In the case of North Van, thatis partly because a numberof schools were closed in thedistrict about a decade ago.

Both North andWestVancouver school districtsalso drew on accumulatedsurplus from previous years tohelp balance their budgets.

In the case of WestVancouver, the return of themoney previously cut fromschool funding means thedistrict will draw on about $1.3million in surplus to balancethe budget, rather than thepreviously anticipated $1.5million, said Julia Leiterman,secretary treasurer for theWest Vancouver schooldistrict.

Leiterman noted, however,theWest Vancouver schooldistrict has “minimal” reservesleft now to help balance the2017/2018 budget, and school

districts are still being askedto absorb increased costs forHydro, MSP premiums andmanagement salary increaseswithout extra funding from theprovince.

John Horgan, leader of theprovincial NDP, said in a state-ment the decision to give backthe money previously takenaway from school funding is“the least that Christy Clarkcould do” and called it a “cyni-cal election ploy” to try to“make bad headlines go awayuntil after the election.”

Both North Shore schoolboards also recently approvedcapital projects that will becompleted this year withannual facilities grants.

In North Vancouver, wherethe board received $2.3 mil-lion for capital fixes, projectsinclude a $650,000 roofreplacement for Cove Cliff ele-mentary, spending $100,000 tomake washrooms wheelchair

accessible at Canyon Heightsand also renovating the libraryat that school to becometwo classrooms at a cost of$75,000.

Other projects includespending $222,000 atMontroyal to replace windowsthat don’t close properly andare causing mould, replacingrotting doors at Brooksbankfor $50,000 and spendingabout $90,000 on lighting,energy conservation and ductissues at the school district’sadministration building.

The district is also spend-ing money to assess andremove potential danger treesat a number of school proper-ties including Mountainside,Cove Cliff, Braemar, Lynnmour,Carisbrooke andMontroyalschools.

West Vancouver willalso spend about $700,000in capital funding for a roofreplacement at Ridgeview.

The Vancouver FraserPort Authority has givenconditional approval toG3’s application to builda massive grain terminalon the North Vancouverwaterfront.

The port announced theapproval on Friday morningalong with 74 permit condi-tions G3must abide by “toensure the project does notresult in significant adverseenvironmental effects, includ-ing impacts to the surroundingcommunity, stakeholders andAboriginal groups.”

Among those conditions,G3 must file plans related tolighting, fuel spill response,archeology, environmentalmanagement during con-struction, marine mammalmonitoring, and construc-tion traffic management.Construction will be limitedfromMonday to Friday, 7a.m.-8 p.m.

Should the project goahead, it will consist of 4814-storey grain silos, a 264-foottall work building, and a railloop capable of holding threetrains of up to 150 cars each,at the foot of BrooksbankAvenue.

Brett Malkoske, vice-presi-dent of business developmentfor G3, said he is confident hiscompany canmeet the port’sconditions.

“We are really happy withthis major milestone in theprocess,” he said. “We do hope

to make a final investmentdecision shortly.”

The exact cost of the newfacility hasn’t been finalizedbut Malkoske said it is “northof $500 million” and the com-pany expects to employ 50workers upon completion.

A citizens’ group hadcollectedmore than 700 sig-natures for a petition raisingconcerns about the project’sgrain dust and noise, as well asrail and shipping traffic. Thoseconcerns should be addressedthough the port’s permittingprocess, Malkoske said.

“The port is a veryprofessional outfit. We havethe utmost respect for thetechnical folks on their staff.We’ve spent a lot of time, a lotof energy, a lot of moneymak-ing sure that ... impact on thecommunity is minimized. Wewant to be a good neighbour,”he said.

Peter Xotta, vice-presidentof planning and operationsfor the port, expressed asimilar sentiment. One of the74 conditions is additionalcommunication with thesurrounding community onmitigation efforts, he said. “Webelieve that the 74 conditionsare those which will, to theextent necessary and possible,address the vast majority of allof those legitimate issues,” hesaid. “As we said to the (Stop)G3 folks, we understand thatliving adjacent to industrialactivity can generate someissues. We’re working as hardas we can to address thoseissues.”

The City of NorthVancouver is getting anet increase in Kings MillWalk Park.

Council voted unanimouslyto use leftover sand from Lot5 and leftover money froma bocce court renovation tofund two beach volleyballcourts on the lip of the waterjust south of HarboursideDrive.

With the nets at Lot 5folded up in anticipation of

the outdoor skating rink andwater play feature to be builton The Shipyards, councildecided to relocate the city’ssetters and spikers just east ofthe off-leash dog area at KingsMill Walk.

The cost of trucking thesand over to Kings Mill willbe borne by The Shipyardproject as Quay PropertyManagement gets set to reme-diate the site, according to astaff report.

The courts could bemovedtoWaterfront Park in 2018,assuming the completed

Shipyards usurpsWaterfrontPark’s status as the city’s go-tovenue for festivals.

“For the interim, I think thisis an excellent location,” saidCoun. Linda Buchanan.

While parking atHarbourside during the weekremains “a challenge,” thecourts will likely be usedin evenings and weekends,according to staff.

The $37,000 price tag onthe courts will be paid for outof the $100,000 budget councilearmarked for renovating thebocce courts at Ray Perrault

Park in 2015. The scope of thatrenovation narrowed, result-ing in a $55,000 surplus.

While workers haven’tfinished the bocce court, therewill be enoughmoney left todo the job properly, accordingto a staff report.

“We’ve got a solutionhere before us and I think it’sgood value,” said Coun. CraigKeating.

As soon as the nets camedown on Lot 5 Keating saidhe had emails from volleyballplayers “wondering wherethey could go.”

Dear Editor:If you had just read the

North Shore News headlineMoodyville Air Study ShowsClean Results (May 4 frontpage) and seen the mayor’sdeclaration that the mobile airmonitoring unit “showed airquality in Moodyville was verysimilar to other areas in MetroVancouver and below the lev-els it needed to be,” one mightdeduce that whether you livedin the backyard of the port oryou were snuggled up againstthe mountains in GrouseWoods, we were all breathingthe same beautiful mountainfresh North Shore air.

The news story and themayor’s platitudes are largelybased on three of the fourkey points gleaned from theexecutive summary of thereport. Yes, the monitoringstudy showed that pollutantlevels in Moodyville werebelowMetro Vancouver’s airquality objectives and levelsof carbon monoxide, sulphurdioxide, nitrogen dioxide,ground level ozone, fine

particulate matter and blackcarbon were similar to otherareas. Finally, Moodyvilledid register higher levels ofinhalable particulates duringthe air quality advisory due toforest fires for a short time inAugust.

However, what the storydownplayed but is most con-cerning for the neighbourhoodis that, after the smoke hadcleared, the MAMU detected“generally higher monthlyconcentration averages ofinhalable particulate mattercompared to other networkstations” (Metro Van Report,page 21).

The report concludes thatthe higher levels were due to acombination of local construc-tion, road dust and industrialemissions. And while RogerQuan of Metro Vancouvercautioned in the North ShoreNews that the science behindmeasuring the coal content inthese inhalable particulatesis not perfect, the mere factthat coal levels are elevated issignificant and should not be

glossed over, especially whenthe per cent of individual par-ticles were never less than 34per cent in the coarse sampleand as high as 94 per cent inthe fine particulate matter.

Experts in the public

health field have warned thatany level of exposure is farfrom benign, having someimpact on the risk of heartand lung disease and other illhealth effects. According toDr. Michael Brauer, professor

at the School of Populationand Public Health at UBC’sFaculty of Medicine, coalexport environmental impactassessments generally relyon the flawed assumptionthat there are safe levels ofexposure to these pollutantsbelow which no impact willoccur. In Brauer’s assessmentof the Moodyville air qualitystudy, he says, “the neighbour-hood is not unusually pooror unusually clean, althoughthere is clearly some influenceof marine vessels and indus-trial activities more generallyand some influence of the coaldust specifically that wouldnot be seen in other areas.”

He goes on to say that“while the ‘coarse’ particu-late matter produced frommechanical processes isgenerally less hazardous, itis certainly not completelybenign compared to particlesfrom combustion sources.”While Brauer assures that theoverall air quality is good,he recommends the com-munity continue to advocate

for measures to reduce thelocal impacts from industrialsources and associated activi-ties, including ships and thecoal terminal itself.

As the resident ofMoodyville who arranged forthe MAMU to be deployed onour street, long before the Cityof North Vancouver councilbecame involved through theLow Level Road Committee,it is my hope for the few long-term residents and the 4,000new ones moving in that theywill not tolerate the mayor’scherry picking of the study’sresults to suit his redevelop-ment agenda.

The residents will need touse this vital data to continueto fight for a cleaner airshed.After all, they will have beensold on a new sustainablecommunity in which they donot expect to breathe in thediesel and coal dust from theport while they furiously washit off their carbon neutraltownhouse decks.Barbara TaylorNorth Vancouver

The BC Lottery Corp hasannounced it’s willing to bet –literally -that the North Shore isready for its very own casino.

We haven’t noticed aclamour rising up from citizens aboutthis inexcusable lapse in ways to partwith their cash.

But the lottery corporation says oth-erwise, and having noticed an unusuallyaffluent and untapped market, is planningto go all in. Lottery folks were at painsto point out the distance from othergambling venues may even result in someNorth Shore residents not bothering togamble at all. Presumably they’ve man-aged to fill those empty hours coachingsoccer, hiking with friends or spendingtime with their families - activities thatdon’t directly put dollars into provincialcoffers.

But the lottery corporation is here tofix that.

The province, of course, ranks as oneof the biggest gambling addicts out there,having grown reliant on the royal flush ofover a $1 billion that the lottery corpora-tion brings in annually.

For the province, the winnings areobvious - it gets most of the financialbenefit whenever a casino sets up shop.Local communities get to take on most ofthe risk.

We’ve already seen a dry run of thediscussions involved when the City ofNorth Vancouver debated the pros andcons of allowing slots on the waterfront.The city eventually decided to fold itscards on that idea.

But the lottery corporation is doublingdown, and this time all three municipalgovernments and two First Nations arebeing asked if they’d like to roll the dice.Chances are good that sooner or later,someone will say yes.

We’d bet the house on it.


Nix mayors’ council toprompt TransLink fixDear Editor:

It seems to me thefastest way to fix all thatails TransLink is for allthe mayors to quit theMayors’ Council on RegionalTransportation. This willforce the province to takeover. The province will haveone year to come up with andpresent a plan, not only inrunning TransLink but also togrow and fund expansion.

We the people of theLower Mainland will have atrue referendum, the nextelection, on what the prov-ince does with TransLink. Of

course, we will also considerother issues that we feelneed provincial improve-ment, such as: an economicjustification not only on thebridge to replace the Masseytunnel, but also on anyresource and infrastructuredevelopment; have the B.C.Utilities Commission reviewSite C dam; robbing Crownagencies to bring a balancedbudget; outlaw politiciansfrom receiving additional paybut what their salaries are;outlaw dinner fundraising(we want our politicians tomake unbiased decisions);

stop using meaninglessterms, example, “world class”in oil spill response.

As for the poor mayors,they may lose the mayors’council salary, but theywill gain respect from theirrespective electorate whetherthey seek re-election or go tohigher political office. Were I amayor (no intention of being),I would be happy to havedone something that my elec-torate would respect me for.

Good luck mayors, earnour respect.John ConsiglioNorth Vancouver

Dear Editor:I never thought I’d say

it. Really, I didn’t! But I quiteenjoyed last weekend’s rain.

Gone were the gangs ofmotorcyclists who thinkswapping their La-Z-Boysfor a Harley and treatingus all to the sound of theirenhanced “mufflers” is a wayto enjoy the countryside.Gone were the Spandex-cladcyclists who sweep throughthe neighbourhood shouting

tales of their two-wheeledexploits and how the latestleg waxing techniques haveshaved seconds off theirpersonal bests. And gonewere the sports car aficio-nados who seem to feel thatwealth entitles them to revthose motors and tear up theresidential speed limits at anytime of the day.

There have been timeslately when it seemed thatwe had lost one of the simple

joys of life on the NorthShore: the pleasure of a quietand peaceful neighborhood.

And then the rain cameback. And we had a daywhere you could listen to therain on the roof, the wind inthe trees and the long forgot-ten birdsong.

I never thought I’d say itbut I rather enjoyed the rain.Tony SwiecickiMarine DriveWest Vancouver

One more than the VonTrapp family, two morethan the Jolie-Pitts.

Catherine Schaff laughswhen it’s suggested that hav-ing eight children is a lot.

Five daughters and threesons. That’s what Catherinehad, that’s what her momhad, and that’s what hergrandmother had.

“There were a lot of chil-dren born in those days,”she notes. “It was just a dif-ferent time.”

It was 1955 whenCatherine and her hus-band John packed up theirsix young kids and drovefrom Saskatchewan to theNorth Shore. They weren’tplanning to have any morekids at that time, recallsCatherine with anotherlaugh. But life had otherplans, and the Schaff familylater welcomed two morechildren to the clan.

The family of 10 boughttheir first home on CanyonBoulevard for a couple thou-sand dollars.

“We had sold a cow withtwin calfs and we had gotten$350 for that and that was

the extra money that wehad for a down payment onour first house,” explainsCatherine.

Life on their farm inSaskatchewan had been diffi-cult. “Sometimes you have acrop, sometimes you don’t,”she says.

One week they were toldby a close relative that therewas a job for John if thefamily could get to NorthVancouver by the weekend.

“So we more or less piledin the car and came up,”recalls Catherine.

John worked for theDistrict of North Vancouverfrom then until he retired.

Housing was so cheapat that time that the familyalways had a home, saysCatherine. And after living inNorth Vancouver for manyyears, they relocated toWest Vancouver more than40 years ago for their young-est daughter who was takingfigure skating at Hollyburn.

“It was quite a differentplace,” says Catherine ofWest Vancouver then. Thekids enjoyed playing in theneighbourhood and at thebeach.

“They grew up at theright time,” she adds. There

were fewer people, lessdevelopment. “You onlyhave to drive around everyother month (now) and yousee a new building goingup.”

The family moved eight

times during their time onthe North Shore. John wasgood at renovations andgardening and Catherinewas good at interior design.Together they renovated anumber of houses and sold

them, unintentionally mak-ing a bit of a business outof it.

“We kept moving up inthe world,” says Catherine,laughing. She wouldn’tbother renovating and

selling homes now, though,because it was a lot of workand it’s the land that holdsthe value these days, not thehouses, she notes.

Serving as armydriver just one ofmany interesting jobs

John passed away in2005, but Catherine still livesin West Vancouver. Three ofher daughters also live onthe North Shore. Her threesons live up north.

Catherine turned 90 inMay. “To me it was justa number,” she says ofreaching another decademilestone. “I don’t feel anydifferent.”

She is still very busy: Shevolunteers weekly at theSilk Purse gallery, she still

drives, and she exercisesdaily.

A celebration for herbirthday was held at St.Christopher’s Church wherethere are two new brassplaques hanging in honourof two of her daughters whopassed away: one at the ageof 36 from a heart condition,and one just two weeks shyof her sixth birthday fromleukemia.

Although she has had hershare of ups and downs (10years ago, she was success-fully treated for stomach

cancer), Catherine reflectson her life fondly.

“I enjoyed my life andI wish I could go back tothose years when we wereall together, but life has beengood.”

Her story features manytwists and turns, and evenincludes serving in thearmy as a driver during theSecond World War.

Continuing a family his-tory of military service (herfather had fought at VimyRidge during the First WorldWar), Catherine was posted

as a driver to the Maritimesand served for three yearsuntil the war ended. Shemainly drove officers aroundand admits she met a lot ofinteresting people in thatjob.

John was serving over-seas at the time and sawaction in England, France,and Belgium. He ended hisservice helping to liber-ate Holland. He didn’t talkmuch about his experiencesin the war. Too many badmemories.

Before she had turned

18 and was able to join thearmy, Catherine worked asa “bomb girl” in a munitionsfactory in Ontario.

Later, while she wasraising her kids on theNorth Shore, Catherinealso worked evenings andweekends at the CapilanoSuspension Bridge,Centennial Theatre, andInglewood Care Centre whileher husband held downthe fort at home. The carecentre was her favourite,and she worked there untilshe had to retire at 65. It was

mandatory back then.But she enjoyed all of it

and admits: “It was kind offun for me to get out andaway.”

Since then, more kidshave been added to theSchaff family, which nowincludes 15 grandchildrenand 15 great-grandchildren,soon to be 16.

“The years have gone byso quickly,” says Catherine.

When it’s suggested shehas led a very interestinglife, she answers quickly: “Idid. And I do.”

HorseshoeBaybakeryraises funds for dogs

Monica and Boris Schaffer own The FlourBakery. PHOTO KEVIN HILL

ROSALIND [email protected]

If any dog in Horseshoe Bay goes missinghave a look for them at The Flour Bakery.

So says Monica Schaffer, who owns the storewith her husband Boris. She explains that afriend once made that joke to her because manydogs in the area enjoy stopping at the shop fora biscuit treat. Any “missing” dog may have justtaken it upon themselves to head over for treaton their own, she notes with a laugh.

The couple, who bought the business inJanuary, wasn’t planning on taking on such a ven-ture but did it for a unique reason: they wanteda sustainable source of funding for dog rescueorganizations. To that end, they are donating 25per cent of their overall profits to dog charities.

“It’s going very well. We have a lot of supportin the community,” says Monica, who has a full-time job as a chemical engineer.

Initially the idea was to rent a space with com-mercial ovens just once or twice a week to bakesome items to sell as a fundraiser for dog rescuegroups. When they inquired with a friend abouther daughter-in-law’s bakery, they found out itwas for sale, so they decided to buy the bakeryrather than rent it.

Boris manages most of the day-to-day opera-tions of the business as Monica still works as anengineer. But her interest in helping dog rescueorganizations was sparked years ago, and led toher teaching herself how to knit.

She wanted to make warm blankets for dogsin need up north, whom she had seen whileworking there as an engineer. Beginning knit-ters generally start with learning how tomakescarves, so that’s what she did. And then she

decided to sell those scarves to raise moneyfor dog rescue groups. Three years later,Monica now volunteers her time with threeother knitters across the country to makescarves, blankets, and toques that she sellsthrough her Facebook page For RescuesWithLove. The knitted items are also sold in thestore with 100 per cent of those proceedsgoing to a different dog-related effort eachmonth. “We’re trying to do as much as wecan,” explains Monica. “We want to be ableto donate as much as possible to the rescuesbecause I personally knowwhat bills therescues have on amonthly basis.”

The bakery is hosting an adoption eventtoday from 2 to 4 p.m. at the store (6363 BruceSt., West Vancouver) for CAARE (CompanionAnimal Advocate Rescue Effort).

CELEBRATE SENIORS WEEK June 5 – 11

Community service keyto volunteer’s storyLAURA ANDERSONContributing writer

Three North Shore com-munity service agenciesare celebrating significantanniversaries this year.

The North ShoreDisabilities Resource Centreturns 40 and LionsviewSeniors Planning Society, 25.North Shore Volunteers forSeniors is West Vancouver’soldest nonprofit society at 55years.

The three share more thana birthday and a commitmentto community service. Theyshare in the wisdom and expe-rience of Anita Dadson.

Anita is a foundingmember of the North ShoreDisabilities Resource Centreand Lionsview SeniorsPlanning Society. She servesas president for North ShoreVolunteers for Seniors.

“I feel honoured to belongto each one of these indis-pensable organizations,” shesays. “Volunteer-based serviceis the backbone of every com-munity. Working to make lifebetter for everybody, that’swhat it’s all about.”

Anita’s career as a commu-nity service volunteer beganwhen she and her husbandPhil left the Ottawa Valley andreturned home to theWestCoast. They wanted familysupport for their daughterSydney, who was born withcerebral palsy.

Syd, like every Canadianbaby born in 1967, received asilver spoon from the federalgovernment but in those daysfew resources were avail-able to families with disabledchildren. The future for peoplewith disabilities meant exis-tence in an institution. Anitaand Phil were determinedSyd’s life would be different.

Home was the North Shore.Anita’s roots reach back to1911, when her grandparentspitched a tent in a patch of for-est that is nowMemorial ParkinWest Vancouver. Her grand-father, Peter Johnson, wasa captain on the commuterferries. Her mother, Marjorie,

was a nurse who served withthe Victorian Order of Nurses,the North Shore’s first homehealth service. Anita workedsummers at the cannery, atCliff House inWhytecliff Park,and at the Bowen Island Hotelto pay for her education insocial work.

In North Vancouver’sHighlands area, the Dadsonsfound the right house fortheir family needs: one leveland wide hallways for Syd’swheelchair. At Carefree, a day-care program for Syd, Anitamet Sheila Gilmour, a lifelongfriend and partner in the quest

But she worries there are still seniors livingin their homes who could benefit from theprogram but may not know about it. For

more information or to sign up to receive atelefriend, call the seniors hub at 604-988-7115 ext. 29.


Telefriend program connects seniors over phoneROSALIND [email protected]

Pets, kids, and the weather.Popular topics of conversation for many

people, these are some of the common sub-jects covered in chats between local seniorswho have become “telefriends.”

Telefriends is a free program run throughthe Capilano Community Services Seniors

Seniors Hub program co-ordinator MelanieMacauley (right) and volunteer Ness St.Arnaud at the Capilano Community Servicesoffice. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD

Hub that connects local seniors with avolunteer for regular phone conversations.Participants can receive many calls or fewer,depending on what they prefer; once or twicea week, or even once a month.

The tone of the conversation is casual andthe topics are general, but Melanie Macauley,program co-ordinator for the seniors hub,says for some participants it could bethe only person they talk to that day. Theprogram is open to any senior on the NorthShore, but many of those who participateare housebound. Many are frail or isolated,and although they may still live at home theycan no longer drive and can’t get out much.Many of their friends have died and they maynot have family connections or their familymembers don’t visit often.

West Vancouver resident Esther Roachhas been volunteering with the Telefriendprogram for 15 years. Macauley calls Roacha “perfect example of what a telefriend canbe.”

Roach first became involved with theprogram when a friend could no longervolunteer and asked if she would take on theposition. She agreed to give it a try and haschatted with many telefriends over the years.

At 92, Roach admits she is slowing downa bit but remains quite busy and has enjoyedher work as a volunteer. She says she thinksthe Telefriend program is “a very good idea.”

Macauley notes that participation inthe program has declined in recent years,probably due to the growth in the numberof seniors centres, residential homes, andcare facilities on the North Shore whereseniors can stay connected to other people.

to establish services and sup-port in the community.

Although children requir-ing personal care were notpermitted in the schoolsystem, Anita and Phil weredetermined that Syd wouldattend regular school. Onceshe was accepted into a spe-cialized site called Progress

Centre, Anita and Sheilaworked to have it included inLarson school. From there,Sydmoved on to Handsworthsecondary, integrated success-fully into the school system.The next step was to make anindependent home for Syd,one that would accommodateher disability in an inclusivecommunity setting underthe protection of a dedicated

agency. Community living,the alternative to consigningpeople to institutions, wouldprovide the right environment.The North Shore DisabilitiesResource Centre, establishedin 1976, was the right agency.When the first group homeon the North Shore openedin 1978, Syd was among thefirst residents. For years, Anitaused her skills as a social

worker to develop resourcesfor people with disabilities.Energized by the commitmentof volunteers, families andindividuals, she made connec-tions with community socialsupport organizations andwith all levels of government.Along the way, Anita andSheila joined a group of peopleorganizing to provide servicesto seniors. Lionsview SeniorsPlanning Society was estab-lished to plan and co-ordinateservices for seniors in trans-portation and accessibility,affordable and appropriatehousing, preventative care andinclusion in the community.

The MAPS program(Making Access PossibleSafely) was a Lionsviewinitiative close to Anita’sheart for its link with dis-ability issues. Pedestrianscan thank the Lionsviewvolunteers for the curb rampsat North Vancouver’s streetintersections.

Six years ago, Anitareturned toWest Vancouver.Although Syd left this worldin 2001 and Phil departed in2012, life brought time withson David, bridge afternoonsand travel. A search for a

yoga class led to Anita’s mostrecent volunteer commitment.She found the class and anopportunity to volunteer atNorth Shore Volunteers forSeniors. Their centre is aboutthe same distance from Anita’shome asMemorial Park, where

her grandparents pitched theirtent back in 1911. Anita’s life,well lived, has come full circle.

In my last column, Iwrote about how allow-ing a dog off leashtoo soon can createunwanted behaviouralproblems.

There is no specific agethat determines when a dogis ready to be off leash, butrather a degree of reliabilitythat comes from consistentpositive results training.

Also, I want to stress thatI am not an advocate of dogsbeing off leash at all times.There is a time and place fordogs to walk freely, which isdetermined by designatedbylaws and an owner’spersonal responsibility fortheir dog. If you are notmature enough to acceptresponsibility for your dog’sbehaviour, you should notbe allowing your dog offleash.

When transitioning adog of any age from onleash to off leash, thebiggest problem is distrac-tions, whether they comefrom other dogs, people orwildlife. When a dog is offleash and gets distracted,the challenge is getting itsattention back. That is why

working on maintaininga dog’s attention amidstdistractions while leashedand developing a solid train-ing foundation is necessaryto achieve the reliabilitythat is required for off-leashwalking.

If a solid training founda-tion has been established,begin off-leash work in areasof low distraction. This doesnot mean avoiding populartrails, but when distractionsare high, the dog shouldremain on leash to avoidunwanted behaviours beingrewarded. When distrac-tions are low, the dog canbe let off leash for training,but not allowed to wanderaround willy nilly.

Start the training bydetermining how far awayyou are going to let yourdog walk from you. Mycomfort level is about 15feet. I set that distance withmy dogs through trainingand now they know to checkin with me when they getclose to that distance. Thisis practised in areas of littleor no distraction by startingwith the dog’s recall from 15feet away.

Ask Fido to stay, thenstep 15 feet away from thedog, turn and call him.Fido is then rewarded, told

to stay, and the scenariois repeated three or fourtimes.

Note: if your dog cannotdo a sit/stay at a distance,this means there is no solidtraining foundation and it isnot yet ready for off-leashwork.

Next, allow Fido to walkahead of you. When he isclose to the 15-foot mark,stop walking and call him.When he comes, rewardhim with praise and a supertreat. Repeat this scenariothree to four times.

Now comes the test.Allow Fido to wander aheadof you. When he gets tothat 15-foot mark, stopwalking. At this point, ifyour foundation traininghas been consistent, Fidowill stop and look over hisshoulder at you, expectingthe call. When Fido looks,give your recall immediatelyand reward just as quickly.Practise this scenario threeto four times, then put Fidoback on leash.

It’s not punishmentto leash your dog aftertraining, but rather anopportunity to reinforcethat solid foundation.

The leashed trainingfoundation should includestop and sit (or coming into

heel) upon the approachof another person. Withconsistency, this will teachyour dog to sit (or heel) byyour side and not jump onpeople when they pass by.When it comes to off-leashwork, Fido will transforminto a dog that automati-cally comes to you, withouthis recall, when he sees aperson approaching.

The best feeling everis seeing your dog cometo you when it notices aperson up ahead insteadof running towards thatperson.

Create distracting situa-tions while Fido is leashedby allowing him to sniff andinvestigate an area. Whenhe lifts his head, you haveabout a two-second window

of opportunity to get hisattention. Call Fido and, ifnecessary, run backwards abit, away from the distrac-tion, then reward him whenhe comes. You can do thesame thing while off leashand Fido will start lookingfor you after a momentarydistraction.

Remember, don’t puta time limit on your dog’sability to learn this informa-tion. Be patient, but test hisoff-leash abilities from timeto time to see how he hasretained the information.

The CollingwoodCavaliers tennis teamsent soon-to-be-retiredhead coach Al Rose outon a high note last week,winning their ninthstraight AA provincialtitle and 10th in Rose’s 11years at the school.

The Cavaliers edgedpreviously undefeatedBrentwood College 6-5 in atight championship final,played indoors at the UBCTennis Centre to escapeSaturday’s stormy weather.The action heated up quicklyin the final as Brentwoodtook the first two matchesbefore Collingwood battledback, winning six of the next

seven to lock up the title.“It was a great win,” said

Rose. “It was very, very closethe whole way. I really wasn’tsure when it started how itwas going to shake down. …The kids were a little nervousI thought at the start overall,but they calmed down andstarted to play the kind oftennis that I’m familiar withseeing the last couple ofmonths.”

The Cavaliers were ledby Grade 10 Neeki Alavi,named the AA girls singlesMVP; Grade 11 Isaac Davies,the boys singles MVP; andGrade 12s Brendan Artleyand Liam Huebner, namedthe boys doubles MVPs. Allof the MVPs were undefeatedthroughout the provincials,with Artley and Huebner

completing a perfectseason by winning all oftheir matches in the NorthShore league, playoffs andprovincials.

Rose, a former coach ofthe junior national team,created the high school pro-vincial tennis championships41 years ago. Though he isset to retire from teaching atthe end of the school year,Rose couldn’t stop himselffrom looking down the roadtowards more tennis titlesfor Collingwood.

“(I’m) always planningfor the future,” he said witha laugh. “We’re going to belosing some key senior play-ers but … there’s still lots towork with there. Who knowswho might come out of thewoodwork in the next couple

of years too. We’ve got somekids in Grade 6 and 7 who areinto tennis. Hopefully thatwill keep it going.”

q q qAt the AAA level Sentinel sec-ondary claimed bronze forthe second year in a row. The

Spartans, West Vancouver’sother tennis dynasty, claimedsix straight provincial AAAtitles from 2009 to 2014.
