North Shores Liberal hat trick

JANE [email protected]

Voters in North Shoreridings provided aninteresting glimpseinto the Liberal wavethat swept the countryon election day, saidpolitical commentatorsthis week.

In Burnaby North-Seymour a new ridingthat had been predictedas a battle betweenConservatives andthe NDP not onlydid Liberal candidateTerry Beech win, butthe percentage of votesgarnered by politicalparties there came closestto mirroring how federalparties did across theprovince, said politicalstrategist and pollsterGreg Lyle of InnovativeResearch.

Thatll make the newriding a bellwether towatch in future, said Lyle.

The Liberal surprisethere reected thestrength of the surge inthat partys support, saidGerald Baier, a politicalscience professor at theUniversity of BritishColumbia and NorthShore resident.

I dont think anyonewas thinking (Liberalcandidate) Terry Beechwas the guy who wasgoing to pull that one off,said Baier. Its not like hecame up the middle. Hehad a pretty commandinglead.

Both North Vancouverand West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea toSky Country also went

Liberal red on electionday.

But unlike manyother ridings where thatresulted mostly from acombination of strategicformer NDP voters andnew voters, the NorthShore saw many formerConservative supportersdefecting to the Liberals,said Lyle.

The result is the twoformer Conservativestrongholds ended upwith among the highestpercentage of Liberalvotes in the province 56.6 per cent in NorthVancouver and 54.7 percent in West Vancouver.

Liberal votes in thoseridings were up morethan 30 per cent in WestVancouver and almost27 per cent in NorthVancouver over 2011numbers.

Conservative voterswere down about 20per cent in both ridingscompared to 2011.

It denitely suggeststhe North Shore isnt justConservative. Theyregenerally centrist andwilling to support aLiberal governmentor a Conservativegovernment, said Baier.

The Liberal hat trickon the North Shore meanstheres a possibility ofcabinet material amongthe three new MPs. Ofthem, both Baier andLyle agreed PamelaGoldsmith-Jones is themost likely candidate asprime minister designateJustin Trudeau has saidhed like half his ministersto be women. But Lyle

and Baier also pointed outthere are two other femaleLiberal political veteransin the Lower Mainland Hedy Fry and Joyce

Murray who wouldlikely be considered rst.

Looking back on theresults, pollsters said thisweek they did a reasonable

job of predicting results,although missed the sizeof the Liberal surge, which

Since police released theinformation onMonday,theyve received numeroustips but are still looking formore information. Lotsof tips came through ourcomplaint line possiblelicence plates. We aregetting favourable responsesfrom the public, saidCpl. Richard De Jong,North Vancouver RCMPspokesman. No arrests atthis point.

The North Shoresblack bear advocate isquestioning why twocubs had to be shot by aconservation ofcer lastweek, rather than sent toa rehabilitation centre.

Conservation ofcerstrapped and shot a motherand two cubs in the BritishProperties after the motherhad broken into fourgarages to get access togarbage.

Their conict level wastoo high to be consideredgood candidates forrehabilitation, saidconservation ofcer ChrisDoyle.

The sow had already

been relocated twice.Once in 2013 to a locationabout 100 kilometres away

with two other cubs whonever returned and again,within her home range, in

2014.It does illustrate

some of the pitfalls

with relocation andtranslocation, Doyle said.There was a time when,in the South Coast, wewere taking some conictcubs to the rehab facility.... Were simply aligningour response to theprocedure were receivingfrom provincial biologistsand veterinarians.

But the cubs ought tohave been given a chanceand taken to be assessed atthe Critter Care WildlifeSociety in Langley, saidChristine Miller, co-ordinator of the NorthShore Black Bear Society.

Why were the cubsnot taken to Critter Care?Critter Care has spacefor them. Theyre youngenough. Its not like (the

sow) had taken them intopeoples houses and taughtthem to be really terriblebears, Miller said. Itseems unethical to destroycubs if a mother has donesome property damage.

Critter Care has takenin 135 bear cubs since itstarted operating in 2004.Of those, 28 were theoffspring of mothers thathad been shot because ofrepeated human conicts.Only one of the cubsended up becoming aproblem bear afterrelease, according toAngela Fontana, senioranimal care supervisor.

People forget howmuch instinct these guys

The collision happenedtwo days before the provincewas set to launch its annualpedestrian safety campaign,aimed at getting drivers andpedestrians to be more care-ful. November typically hasthe highest number of pedes-trian fatalities as people arenot used to the earlier sun-sets.

I have been standing backadmiring the brillianceof my prediction that theConservatives would winMondays election.

The logic wasimpeccable, though notunique just more geniallyexpressed. It follows.

Liberal Justin Trudeauand especially NewDemocrat Thomas Mulcairwere as zealous campaigningto one-up each other as theywere to bury the commonfoe, Stephen Harper, whoyou will remember wasConservative prime minister(how quickly the politicalhistory books open andcoldly snap shut).

While they exhaustedthemselves clawing andmauling one another overwhich was the more worthyregicide, King Harperwould soar through the blueskies in a coach drawn bytwo noble steeds, reducedfrom the usual four for theeconomys sake, back to his

well-deserved throne.This theory was rooted

in samplings of popularsupport showing Mulcair asfront-runner before the for-mal campaign began theheady prospect of the rstSussex Drive socialist andTrudeau the Younger alame third. But incremental-ly Trudeau got back his legs.He strode up mountains realand metaphorical, a chip offthe paternal block, at leastfor the Liberal spinmeisters

ads. He found his tonguetoo. He acquitted himselfwell, possibly better than hedared hope as bearer of theprofound burden of having aword-skilled father.

And in the last dozendays or so, a Trudeaudynasty emerged. Mulcairwas the big loser, partly dueto so-called strategic voting.Trudeau sold the product.

For what is a democraticelection all about ifnot politicians sellingthemselves in a milieuwhere faking sincerity is aprime requirement, whereactors play not their ownfallible, privately frightenedselves, but someone morecondent, astute, wiseand caring, to an anxiety-ridden audience yearningfor leader authenticity andgullible enough to believein words which, as theGreek said, have horns andforked tails?

So if my theory ofConservative victory was

wrong, as it lugubriouslywas, clearly Mulcair andTrudeau were spooked by anightmare variant of it too that a Liberal resurgencecould lead to their virtualsecond-place tie. Harper, hiscrown slightly askew, wouldthen resume a brand ofgovernance that they hatedand feared, being largelysuccessful in substance andunfashionable in style.

Of course by any globalterms most Canadiansare so incredibly spoiledthat, as my old motherwould say, they dont knowtheyre alive. And it willbe fascinating to see howTrudeau handles his vowto accept 25,000 Syrianrefugees; the nationsmilitary commitments; theinevitable terrorist attackson our soil; and the citizensequally inevitable demandsfor business to create moreprosperity, more socialservices in a shaky globaleconomy. Such are among

Harpers bequests to him. Apoisoned chalice?

In the interests of allCanadians, including pettyself-interest, I certainlywish Trudeau well. Hewill need no lessons inCanadian history about thelong slope down from thedeliriums of election nightto the disappointments andfractiousness of actuallygoverning: Making choices,shifting money frompickable pockets to favouredones the top priority forskilful governing.

How Brian Mulroneywas viscerally hated as primeminister by many, and howwonderfully Mulroney spokeMonday night: Gracious,witty, philosophical, good-natured, self-mocking. Onlya consummate actor couldpull that off.

A fast-off-the-mark

reader emailed me: I hateto tell you how far off youwere on your prediction.

My reply: Thank you forthis. Many will not hate totell me they will enjoy itimmensely.

This may not be a bad

opportunity how manyremain? to muse aboutcolumnists and such makingelection predictions. Flatly,Id rather be wrong thantimorous. Afraid of yingand crashing? Get out ofit. My newspaper roots goback to meatier times whencolumnists were expected toshoot their mouths off. Yes,and argue rudely with oneother, sometimes across thepage. The judicious thumb-sucker doesnt engage me.

Delete, delete...A s Canadian philosopher MarshallMcLuhan famously said: Themedium is the message.So what happens when you delete the

medium?Because thats what Information and

Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denhamhas concluded happened when a provincialgovernments staffer triple deleted aseries of emails upon receiving a Freedomof Information and Protection of PrivacyAct request related to B.C.s Highway ofTears.Angering as it is to learn about civil

servants illegally withholding informationand lying to investigators about it, we grimlypoint out that this is a symptom of a largerproblem. Attempting to skirt accountabilityis nothing in politics, but in the last decade,it seems to have been elevated to an artform. Rather than take questions, ourleaders issue carefully vetted messaging.

Rather than share information with thepublic, they horde it out of fear it may comeback to haunt them in a scandal.Or worse, they dont record information

or they use private emails to communicateto hide their tracks. We saw this with theQuick Wins scandal in 2013.This top-down, paranoid directive to

constantly be in control of the message is asymptom of a government thats far moreinterested in clinging to power than it isgoverning.And unfortunately its become the norm

at all levels of government.Green MLA AndrewWeaver has put

forward some thoughtful suggestionsincluding bringing in technology to ensurepoliticians and their staff are unable to deleteemails. We agree.But changing the technology is one thing.

Changing the culture of government is amuch bigger challenge.

Edgemont debate coveragemissed real storyDear Editor:

Re: Coverage of all-candidates debate inEdgemont Village Oct. 14.

After reading JeremyShepherds front-page newsstory in the Oct. 16 NorthShore News, we would liketo note that he failed tomention part of the storythat evening. With a packedhouse at Highlands UnitedChurch and a respectfulquestion-and-answer periodcompleted, the Conservativerepresentative, AndrewSaxton, jumped up with

one last wild card (chanceto speak to a question) afterthe moderator was offeringhis nal summation of theevening and thanking thecrowd for attending.

At this point, theConservative candidateinterrupted the moderator,rose to his feet and began tospeak to the crowd. In hisnal statement, he began toexpound onMr. Harpersgenerosity and virtues andmentioned that Mr. Harperdonated all the proceeds ofhis hockey book to veterans

families. This disrespect ofthe debate rules (giving aspeech after all questionswere answered) and thenature of Mr. Saxtonsdissertation was enoughto get the crowd redup. At this point, booingcommenced throughoutthe packed church and themajority of the people inthe room simply got upand walked out while theConservative representativecontinued to speak.

Whether it was thecandidates statement

praising Mr. Harpersgenerosity towards veteransfamilies or the fact that thecandidate was blatantly

ignoring the debate rules,the fact that the crowdresponded overwhelmingwith such displeasure was a

signicant part of the storythat evening.David and Lillian HunterNorth Vancouver

The situation calls tomind the case of formerconservation ofcer BryceCasavant who becamesomething of a folk herowhen he disobeyed hismanagers orders to killtwo bear cubs and insteadtook them to a rescueservice on VancouverIsland.

Doyle said he

understands why thepublic gets upset whenbears, especially cubs, arekilled but, he said, thepublic needs to do its partin preventing conicts.No ofcer wants to orcertainly likes to have tokill cubs. Its the last thingwe want to do, he said.Whats frustrating to usis were still dealing withthe same attractant issuesin the same communities.Certainly on the NorthShore, garbage and otherattractants are readilyavailable to bears in manyareas.

Making things worse isthe conditions the bearsare facing, thanks to thehot, dry summer. Withfewer berries growing inthe wild, the bears are

hungrier than usual inthe nal push to pack oncalories before winter.

Its a really difcultyear for the bears and itsdifcult for our ofcers.Its putting us in situationswhere tough decisionshave to be made butits not over. Weve gotanother month probablyof this where bears will belooking for non-naturalfoods, he said.

That provincesprocedure is under review,Doyle said. EnvironmentMinister Mary Polack didnot respond to a requestfor an interview.

Other than keepingtheir yards free of animalattractants, residentsshould consider freezingtheir garbage, Miller said.

they said grew in the naldays of the campaign.

It was really the nalweek that turned it into amassive landslide, saidMario Canseco of InsightsWest, which polled localridings three times for the

Dogwood Initiative. Itreally shows the effect thenal campaign week canhave.

Canseco said Trudeausdecision to have the nalrally of the campaign inNorth Vancouver likelyhelped push the localnumbers up.

The Liberals managedto be radical enoughto attract formerNDP supporters andcentrist enough to getConservatives unhappywith Harper, he said.

The (Liberal) wavewas so all encompassingthat it took everything in.

Yes, I do believe he haspotential because he is young.He understands our generationand what we need right now.

Kayvon KarimiNorth Vancouver

Trudeau is favouring theentire population rather thanjust his own party, and heoffers a fresh way of thinking,a young way of thinking thatsadaptive to change.

Mayor, councillor called on to step down

JUSTIN BEDDALLContributing writer

The City of NorthVancouvers Oct. 5council meeting beganwith an unexpecteddetour: Coun. Rod Clarkasking for Mayor DarrellMussatto and Coun.Craig Keating to stepdown over an allegedconict of interest.

After the meetingwas called to order,Clark raised a point ofprivilege, a seldom-usedmotion typically used todeal immediately with anon-agenda item. He alsodistributed a one-pagesummary of his concernsto council members.

My point of privilegearises out of a loan for$7,639.10 made byCouncillor Keating toMayor Mussatto in thelast election. I believethis creates a conict ofinterest in that the mayorand a member of councilnow have a nancialrelationship which to datehas not been publiclyexposed, read Clarksstatement.

Clark added that inthe mayors nancialdisclosure documentsled shortly after the 2014

election under liabilities,no mention or disclosureof the $7,639.10 loanfrom Councillor Keatingto the mayor is made.This is required under theact. Until this very seriousmatter is resolved I call onthe Mayor and CouncillorKeating to immediatelystep down from citycouncil.

Thank you,Councillor Clark and its6:01 (p.m.), respondedMussatto, before adoptingregular council minutesfrom the previousmeeting.

Clarks point wasnot discussed further bycouncil.

Mussatto said later hewas unprepared aboutthe point of privilege. Ijust let him do his thing.

After reviewingcouncil procedurebylaws regarding point ofprivilege, Mussatto saidClarks motion doesntqualify as such. Hewould have to go to courtand le a court actionagainst me and say Im inconict, said Mussatto.I say there is none(conict of interest).

Responding to Clarksallegations, Mussattosaid it wasnt a loan,it was a cost that we allcontributed towardsand noted that he andseveral other candidates,including Keating, sharedcertain advertising andcampaign costs.

So one person pays

the bill and the other onesgive monies towards theperson that paid it, basedon the percentage. Thatsindeed what happened. Ipaid Craig back and its allgood.

Hes (Clark) saying Idid not record that on thatform, therefore Im in aconict because I didntdeclare it. ... I dont oweCraig money, I paid himback for that.

Mussattos nancialdisclosure statement forthe 2014 election has beenamended twice.

In his rst amended

expense form in April,Mussatto listed anadditional $7,639.10donation from Keating. Inthe second amendment,the $7,639.10 donationfrom Keating is crossedoff and replaced by twodonations totalling thesame amount under hisown name.

Its very hard to followElections BCs process, bytheir own admission theysay that it is very difcult.Thats why they helped usthrough it all, thats whywe did the amendments,explained Mussatto.

but Ive beensigned off by ElectionsBC and Im 100 per centcompliant, theyve saidit has been approved andIm not in a conict ofinterest, Mussatto said.

I have settled up allmy account debits andcredits for the sharedexpenses with othercandidates as per thedirection from ElectionsBC, the mayor added byemail.

Don Main,communications managerwith Elections BC, in anemail, conrmed that

the compliance reviewis complete, unlesswe are made aware ofnew information thatcould require furtheramendments to thestatements.

Keating said he wasdisappointed by Clarksallegations in the sensethat Councillor Clark hadevery opportunity to go tothe Elections BC websiteand take a look at thelings, which I did as hewas speaking, and its veryclear that this notion ofa loan is a gment of hisimagination.

Mussatto,Keating refuteClarks conictof interest claim

[email protected]

Like countless peopleacross the country,Murray McLauchlancouldnt tear himselfaway from the televisionMonday night, anxiouslyawaiting the results of

the 42nd federal election.The Toronto-based

singer-songwriter, whoscurrently in the midstof a 10-date B.C. tourthat launched Oct. 14 inCampbell River, was luckyto have the night off asMonday was a travel day.

Was there anybodyin the whole countrythat wasnt glued to theirtelevision set last night?he says, reached Tuesdaymorning, in advance of aperformance in Kamloopsthat evening.

I would like to thank

every single one of themthat went out and votedand took part in what isa major change for ourcountry and Im optimisticas I look to the future, hesays.

After more than fourdecades, the 67-year-old folk musician has18 albums and 11 Junosunder his belt. His debutrecord, Song from theStreet, was released in1971, three years afterPierre Trudeau had beenvoted in as prime minister.Asked whether Monday

nights news of a secondTrudeau, son Justin,now leading the country,was bringing back anymemories, McLauchlanrecalls a 13-part series hedid for CBC Radio, seeinghim interview and writesongs about a wide varietyof Canadians.

One of the people Iinterviewed was MargaretTrudeau. And so I wentto her house this wasof course after she andPierre Trudeau had comeapart and little Justinand Sacha were trotted

out for me and did theirlittle party pieces. So Ihave that memory of themas little kids, being veryshy and being trotted outto do their bit, he laughs.Now Im looking at thesame guy and hes primeminister of Canada, hesays.

The series wasmade prior to thoseMcLauchlan would go onto undertake, includingthe CBC-TV SpecialFloating over Canada,

Exhibit focuses onLynnHeadwaters

Artist Clancy Gibson admits he was reluctant to show his work publicly at first. The self-described perfectionist cant even bear tohang his paintings up at home because he worries he will become obsessed with altering them. PHOTOCINDYGOODMAN

! Headwaters: Recent Paintings byClancy Gibson, running until Oct. 31 atArtemis Gallery.

MARIA [email protected]

It took moving to Toronto for NorthVancouver-born artist Clancy Gibson todevelop a newfound appreciation for thelush landscape of Lynn Headwaters.

I see my beautiful surroundings withfresh, new eyes. The appreciation for wherewe live is renewed, and it would be hard tonot be inuenced by the nature surroundingus, says Gibson.

That appreciation has translated into artand Gibsons accidental series of paintingsfocusing specically on Lynn Headwatersnatural splendour, with each compositionbuilt around a common factor: Lynn Creek.

Gibson was a ne artist from the startand had his rst showing in 1974. But by1979 he realized his passion wasnt going topay the bills.

And it was hard that time inVancouver, he recalls. Fine artistsstruggle a lot more than commercial artists

When The Beatles rstarrived in America theytold the press that theywanted to seeMuddyWaters and BoDiddley.MuddyWaters, wheresthat? a reporterasked. PaulMcCartneyreportedly laughed andsaid Dont you knowwhoyour own famous peopleare here?

Theres little debateover the fact that manyAfrican American musiciansenjoyed success in the U.K.when they couldnt nd itin their home country. Thesuccess of blues artists afterthe SecondWorldWarpaved the way for TamlaMotown, which promotedits new label with a 1965lineup that includedMarthaand the Vandellas, Stevie

Wonder, TheMiracles,The Temptations and TheSupremes, plus British hit-maker Georgie Fame.

Out of that movementand the mod scene sprangNorthern Soul, a localizedmovement that sprang up insmall clubs and embracedobscure soul music fromacross the pond.

Writer and directorElaine Constantine tells hercoming-of-age story througha musical lens, setting it in actional and bleak working-class town in North Englandtown in the early 70s.

John (Elliot JamesLangridge) is a secondaryschool student, a lonerstraining against the wishes ofhis teachers (Steve Coogan,among them) and parents(Lisa Staneld, ChristianMcKay). The only onewho understands him is hisgranddad (well-known Britcomedian Ricky Tomlinson).

was named to the Order ofCanada in 1993, is slatedto complete his currentB.C. tour, his rst in theprovince in a number ofyears, with a stop at NorthVancouvers CentennialTheatre Sunday night.Joined by Victor Batemanon bass, hell play songsfrom throughout hisextensive catalogue.

I wrote Childs Songwhen I was 19 years old,but its just as relevant asong now as it was then songs that were hit records

like Down by the HenryMoore, people love thosesongs because if theyre ofa certain age those songswere hits at a certaintime in their life and sothe songs bring back thattime and theyre like littletouchstones. All of thesongs, they have a purposeand they have a meaning,and I think the idea thatI have, the excitement Ihave about performing,is trying to create anexperience so that thepeople who walk in thedoor are slightly differentwhen they walk out thedoor, he says.

McLauchlans solo

tour is also offering anopportunity to showcasehis latest release, late-2012s Human Writes.The work followed asolo recording hiatus,his previous recordwas 1996s GulliversTaxi, which he made inVancouver with the helpof locals Barney Bentalland Colin Nairne, asproducers, and membersof The Odds and Spirit ofthe Wests Geoffrey Kellyas guests.

Human Writes isradically different fromprojects hed undertakenbefore. To pen its 10 songs,he locked himself in what

he refers to as the rubberroom at his publishersofce.

Its like going into anisolation tank. Its basicallya padded room with a steeldoor and a little, tiny four-inch window in it so theycan look in and see if youredead. No ones allowed toknock, no ones allowedto intrude. Youre in thereand you dont come outuntil you come up withsomething. The result wasId kind of poke around inmy head with a sharp stickand the most extraordinarypoetry came out of theexperience, he says.

The music was alsorepresentative of adifferent approach thistime around, whichMcLauchlan credits to anelderly guitar he used onthe record, made in 1938and found in a pawn shop.

I think it was haunted.The approach that I tookwas to try and make theinitial recording resemblein methodology the waythey used to make folkrecords at the Columbiaor the Vanguard studiosin the 1950s, which is yousit on a stool in front of agigantic tube mic and yousing and play your guitar,

he says.Everything else on the

record, like steel guitar,or his 23-year-old sonDuncans trombonestylings, were added asa frame for the basicperformance, intended togive it depth, breadth ortexture.

While McLauchlanscurrent solo tourmarks his rst in recentyears, hes maintaineda busy recording andperformance schedule,playing 30 to 35 shows ayear with band Lunch atAllens. Other membersinclude Ian Thomas, MarcJordan and Cindy Church.

In addition, hescontinuing to pursue hispassion for visual artsand exhibit his paintings.Another project hesplugging away at is astage musical, Eddie, thelife story of a Sinatra-likesaloon singer, with all ofthe songs written in themanner of the AmericanSongbook. McLauchlanalso sits on the boardof the Room 217Foundation, a Port Perry,Ont.-based non-protorganization dedicatedto caring for the wholeperson with music.

On October 14, 2015, Squamish Nation Council voted toapprove an Environmental Assessment Agreement and issuedan Environmental Certificate for the Woodfibre LNG project.

The agreement comes from Squamish Nations independentenvironmental assessment of the project, which began morethan two years ago, and includes legally binding conditionsthat Woodfibre LNG Limited is required to meet for theproject to move forward.

Among these conditions:

Squamish Nation has a direct say on our coolingtechnology

No LNG carrier travelling to theWoodfibre site willbunker in Howe Sound

No expansion ofWoodfibre LNG operations withoutSquamish Nation consent

We will co-manage environmental management plans

The Squamish Nation environmental assessment process is likelythe first of its kind in Canada, and were proud to have participatedin this groundbreaking new process.

The Squamish Nation Environmental Assessment Agreement meanswe can build a better project; one that protects traditional land,water and heritage resources, and brings responsible economicopportunity to the region.

Building a project thats right for Squamish.Thats our number one priority.

do.So he became an

illustrator and moved toToronto because it wasthe happening spot tobe for an illustrator in the1980s.

Gibson settled into hiseastern surroundings andembarked on an illustriouscareer that saw him workfor multiple well-knownadvertising agencies inToronto and the U.S.

When I moved toToronto I realized howlucrative commercial artcan be, he says.

Air Canada, CanadaPost, all the major banks,the Royal Canadian Mintwere among his clients.Gibson drew everythingfrom dog food to funeralhome ads, the latterwinning him a designaward for creativity.

I scanned all my oldjobs a little while ago and Ihit a thousand illustrationsand I thought, God Imtired, says Gibson with alaugh.

When he moved backto his hometown 15years later, in 1994, his

passion for painting wasreinvigorated by walkingthrough Lynn HeadwatersRegional Park, and thatnewfound appreciationarose in him.

Its like saying yoursister is pretty if you nevermove away, explainsGibson. You comeback and you look andyou go, Wow Ive livedsomewhere else for along time and Ive neverthought about how goodthis was.

Gibson wound upbuying the house he grewup in, a block away fromRidgeway school. Thearea is steeped in nostalgiafor Gibson whose greataunt was a librarian atthe venerable school thatboth his parents attended.Gibson would also go toRidgeway, followed by hisdaughter years later.

Gibsons uncle wouldtell him stories about lifeon the creek back inthe 40s when gangs ofyouth would build cabinsand stay out in the woodsabove Lynn Valley fordays.

When he moved back toNorth Vancouver, Gibson

found himself drawn tothe canyon, toting his SLRcamera so he could laterrecreate the images inacrylics.

Water does something Im not sure what it is,but its a big force, youknow, he says.

Subconsciously Gibsonspent a lot of time underthe tree canopies in theheadwaters, only realizinghis xation with the areawhen he saw the paintingshe had amassed.

But yet he doesntconsider himself theoutdoorsy type.

I always joke, Ill dothe Grouse Grind whenthey put ashtrays there,thats how outdoorsy Iam, says Gibson. Butthe nice thing about doingthe canyon is its quitecultivated in terms of thetrails and stuff like that.

It was a lifelong NorthVan friend of Gibsons,Ron Macy, and ArtemisGallery curator ShannonBrowne that convincedhim to show his work in anexhibit called Headwaters.

We all grew up inNorth Van and I thinkwe all shared the same

attitude about it, whichwas it certainly changed alot since we were growingup but there are certainthings that are eternal,explains Gibson. I thinkthe Headwaters and allthat area is one thing thatwill never change. And itwill always be there.

Gibson admits he wasreluctant to show his workat rst. The self-describedperfectionist cant evenbear to hang his paintingsup at home because heworries he will becomeobsessed with alteringthem.

At rst I thought ohmy God this might beredundant, he says, ofhis initial reservations fordoing the show. And mybiggest concern would havebeen, OK Ive got treesand rocks and water howboring is this going to beif I have 23 paintings. ButI was really pleased whenI saw all the paintingstogether and how well theyworked with each other.

But when Gibson sawthe way the work wasdisplayed in the galleryunder the right lighting,his perspective changed.

A special feature of the


ROSALIND [email protected]

In 1975, a group of eightfriends decided to publish acookbook.

That may not sound like abig deal nowadays, but it wasback then. The friends, allhousewives from Alberta, hadbeen playing bridge togetherfor more than a decade anddecided to put their favouriterecipes together for a specialproject.

It was the rst year ofInternational WomensDay, and the group wantedto prove they could start

a business. It took a lot ofwork, and they decided toquit at least three times alongthe way, but nally foundthemselves in front of a localbanker requesting a loan toprint 6,000 copies of theirbook. The banker agreed tothe loan and gave the womenthe paperwork for theirhusbands to sign.

And we said No way, thisis a womens year project,recalls Mary Halpen, anoriginal member of the group.

Halpen says it took morework to convince the bankerbut they managed to securethe loan. Their rst run of

books was printed, and a 40-year enterprise began.

The group had a big backyardparty to celebrate the releaseof their book and thought thatwas the end of the project.However, they soon startedgetting calls from peopletelling them how good therecipes were.

And we knew they werebecause we had been playingbridge together for 12 years,so we knew the recipes weregood, says Halpen.

Then local bookstores startedasking to carry the book, butthere were no more copiesto deliver. The entire rst

Bridge author recalls how it all began

run was sold. After muchdeliberation, it was decidedto produce another 15,000copies of the book.

The decision to print the next15,000 was the hardest one,says Halpen, joking that theysold most of their rst run ofbooks to their mothers andsisters. She calls the move areal leap of faith.

The women then embarkedon their own marketing tourwith no experience and noresources. They hit up thelocal newspapers and radiostations then slowly branchedout to neighbouring cities andinto B.C. Halpen says theywere graciously received forthe most part, and she creditsthat in part to the fact thatthey were so enthusiasticabout their book. Theirmarketing eventually stretchedacross the country, andthe group of friends sharedmany road trips that Halpendescribes as moving pajamaparties full of fun.

When asked why she thinksthe book was so popularin those early days, Halpenexplains that they were all

housewives with young kidsthen and these were recipesthat we could make at home.They always worked. Theywere from ingredients that wehad in our cupboards for themost part but they all weregood.

The recipes were all tried andtested, she notes. People justtrusted us.

Four decades later and Halpenis again on a promotion tourfor an updated version ofthe book: Best of BridgeHome Cooking 250 Easy andDelicious Recipes. The bookseries now has nearly fourmillion copies in print and hasbeen updated numerous timesover the years.

Its important to staycurrent, says Halpen ofthe many updated versions,noting the recipes havebeen adjusted over theyears to make themmorecontemporary, such as usingmore fresh (instead of canned)ingredients, which are moreavailable these days.

The original group ofeight now consists of fourmembers. One moved toVancouver right after therst printing, and threehave passed away in recent

years. Halpen says her groupis a microcosm of otherfriend groups and has hadeverything happen to themover the years.

These days, Halpen has somemore free time. Her husbandpassed away about ve yearsago and her kids are grown, soshe volunteered to go on thislatest round of publicity forthe book. But all the remainingmembers are still involvedin the project and have beensince it started.

We really care about thebook, explains Halpen.

The group are currentlyworking with three newmembers who they hope willhelp the brand continue andcontinue to evolve.

Things have changed somuch in the time that wevebeen doing this book, notesHalpen, but the main focusof the book hasnt: simplerecipes with gourmet results.

Halpens favourite recipe fromthe newest version of thebook is a Savoury Mushroomand Brie Tart. That may notsound like the familiar simplerecipes of Bridge books, butHalpen insists the recipe isreally easy to make, and ittastes as good as it looks.

Take a walk through the community garden at Queen Maryelementary and you may see something you didnt expect:fruit trees.

Pears, cherries, apples, and plums, are all part of the foodforest, as staff at the Edible Garden Project refer to it. The treesare only about ve years old, so they havent reached their fullproduction yet. But they still managed to yield an impressivecrop this year, although most of the fruit is now gone, free formembers of the public to pick. A lot of people think about theOkanagan when they think about growing fruit, but part ofthe reason the EGP grew these trees, some berry bushes, anda herb garden, was to showNorth Shore residents it can bedone here too. EGPmanager Emily Jubenvill explains that thepurpose of all their community gardens, and in the food forest inparticular, is to demonstrate howmuch food can be grown fromperennial systems.

Most people when they think of edible food they think aboutannual vegetables, but theres lots of stuff that you can plant onceand it will produce for decades, she notes.

Its all part of a bigger focus to engage community membersin the art of gardening, and it was a desire to involve thecommunity that changed the groups initial approach to thegarden.

The garden has individual plots of raised beds that are rentedout to community members, who typically grow vegetables orowers. Around some of the borders and in between the twosides theres more of a communal area, which the Edible GardenProject has been involved in over the past number of years(their food forest). When the community garden was beingdesigned there was a public walkway right through the middle of

Community garden gives backit that the community wanted to keep, so the garden was builtaround it in two halves, one on either side of the walkway. Overthe years, the EGP focused on building the soil because it wasreally shallow and rocky. They used a lot of mulch, compost, andleaves to enrich the soil.

But it just takes time really, explains Jubenvill. Nowwe haveamazing soil, which is fantastic.

The decision to allow the public to pick the food from theEGP area of the garden was based on a nest of factors, saysJubenvill, but one of the main reasons was stealing. Food grownin the rented plots is meant for the gardeners who grow it. Butsome people take the food and that upsets the gardeners. Theyput lots of time and energy into them typically, says Jubenvill.

When the garden rst started the food forest was being plantedfor workshops and demonstrations and for the food to bedonated. But over
