== Vive le CANADA === Knowlton Nash

PM's Statement (part): ...“Mr. Nash was a veteran newsman who spent 37 years with the CBC. During his time as anchor of The National, he became one of the country’s most trusted and respected broadcast journalists, delivering the news every night to thousands of Cdn homes with insight, warmth, and integrity. To many, he was a household figure.

“Mr. Nash received many honours for his journalistic excellence, including Officer of the Order of Canada, Mbr of the Order of Ontario, the President's Award of the Radio and Television News Directors' Assn (RTNDA), the John Drainie Award for distinguished contributions to broadcasting, and being named to the Canadian News Hall of Fame.

“Mr. Nash’s remarkable legacy includes the rich historical news archives he leaves behind, the many books he authored and the many journalists he helped to train. The nation mourns the loss of this iconic journalist.ť

=== from the EDITOR'S DESK ===

> Subject: Teachers ~ Date: 21 May, 2014 5:43:33 PM PDT {sent to some CBC radio progs, FWIW}

1. just heard a caller wch spurred me to write; saying teachers don't have a job in the summer is shamelessly misleading the public:

a) they can choose to receive their salaries over ten or 12 months {at least they used to; it is an annual salary in any case}

b) they can work in the summer if they wish

2. I don't know who's responsible currently in administration or on the board wrt class size.

Class size is not the major issue. I've taught classes with from 8 to 48 in at least four countries (and ages 5 to 65) and in five school districts in the Lower Mainland. It also depends on the subject -- easy in math, overwhelming in English composition/essays and (French or whatever) translation.

Putting special needs in classes is an incredible time-demanding burden on the teacher. Everyone suffers from my POV.

Streaming results in learning at the pace most are comfortable with. There shd also, of course be some, maybe a third to a half, classes with everyone mixed. Some subjects lend themselves to that, eg history (b/c it's like stories), music, and art, but not math or science (b/c building on assumed knowledge and competence). And there's a desperate need for a return to teaching grammar, spelling, etc -- it has slipped so much. {The difference between good and well in English for a start.}

3. Every child/person is to be respected and encouraged but to say they're really good and not correct them or show low marks b/c it will hurt their 'esteem' is a poor preparation for the world they'll find after school. False expectations that cd hv drastic emotional repercussions. Like them, but be realistic.

4. I don't mean to be perverse, but the range of teachers (and of course all shd be encouraged to improve) is exposure to the real world since there'll be a range of managers/bosses.

5. Schools are exciting lively places. Kids are energetic and curious. Serve a buffet of knowledge. They have a thirst. Feed that hunger and enjoy!

April 28: Do not leave valuable items in an unattended vehicle, especially an unlocked vehicle. 28 of the 36 Theft from Auto reports this month {April} have involved valuables stolen overnight from unlocked vehicles. You might only make it easier for the thief by setting valuables at the curb with your recycling.

Backpacks, wallets, electronics, cameras and other high value personal items are especially inviting for thieves. Locking valuables in an unattended vehicle overnight is also not recommended. Three of the recent offences have involved thieves smashing windows and stealing valuables.

EXHIBITION

Experience a cultural revival at West Vancouver Memorial Library

Media Release May 28 “ Cultural Revival, an exhibition showcasing artwork from the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre™s (SLCC) Aboriginal Youth Ambassador Program, is coming to the Library from June 5 “ July 22. The beadworks, carvings, paintings, and weavings by the young First Nations artists range from traditional to contemporary and are rooted in a desire to share indigenous cultures in creative, educational, and imaginative ways.

“West Vancouver is a community that celebrates the arts, cultural diversity and the rich mosaic that makes our region such a special place,ť says DWV Councillor and Library Board Trustee, Michael Lewis. “The Aboriginal Youth Ambassadors embody this vision to a T and we are privileged to be able to showcase the thriving creativity and cultural connections these young men and women exhibit.ť

The exhibition will kick off at 12:30pm with a blessing and traditional welcome from the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations. All are welcome to attend the opening ceremony and are encouraged to explore the pieces on display in the Library gallery.

Aboriginal Youth Ambassadors receive a combination of industry-recognized training, post-secondary education, and meaningful work experience. They also strengthen their cultural connections by working with elders and other indigenous culture experts in the areas of weaving, drum-making, and carving. In the process, they become accomplished cultural interpreters, which they pass on to visitors of the Centre through guided tours. These tours were recently designated as a Signature Experience by the Canadian Tourism Commission.

Since 2008, more than 500 youth have graduated from the Aboriginal Youth Ambassador Program.

In 2013, SLCC received the B.C. Cultural Centre and Attractions of the Year award from the Aboriginal Tourism Assn of B.C. for the second year in a row. For more info, visit slcc.ca and https://westvanlibrary.ca/events/cultural-revival

June 3 - 22 -- Picturesque North Shore

Sandrine Pelissier, inspired by the BC landscape, recently completed a series of forest, seascapes, and cityscapes painted in watermedia (watercolour, acrylic, inks). Though her work could be described at somewhat realistic, there is often a touch of the unreal in the form of splashes of paint or added designs that emphasize the subjective quality of perception. This creates a link between the landscape’s reality and the one imagined by the artist.

Dr. Steve Mathias, a UBC-trained psychiatrist specializing in youth mental health issues, will deliver a keynote presentation, followed by breakout sessions for parents and youth. Dr. Mathias is currently the medical manager for the Inner City Youth Mental Health Program at St. Paul’s Hospital.

Positive mental health is more than the mere absence of a mental illness.

PowerPoint presentation to be provided.

E.Kelsall: presentation; clear case for having the labels

xxx SLIDES

gave costs; financially prudent

How does a label change the world? Gave the example of smoking. {resisted} SLIDE of map where no smoking [signs]

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth; showed graph where more trees carbon sucked up (northern hemisphere)

"no snowflake in an avalanche feels responsible"

report this summer ... quixotic but [7:15]

if you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito

WV already a leader, this not only a leader but a legacy

inspire to change the world

MB: fabulous idea for all the reasons you said. Anywhere?

Sop: out of minds of youth come some great things

these small steps will make a change in the future; hope we can be the second in Canada to do it

CC: motion re report?

wd like staff to bring a bylaw, for decision rather than discussion

NG: Rob Tserhki {sp?} went to Law school at UVic, even though went back to Toronto

44% rather than one third as in this report, comes from cars

great idea

the report talks about the research done in Ontario, according to the MAct

Ans: there's a group of law students in Vic working on that (for BC)

NG: tobacco companies $$$ on

Oil companies have more $$$, how much are they throwing ?

Rob has written back to me, a small cmnty in Quebec was first re banning pesticides, thrown at it, but overcame it

does take leadership from one cmnty

&&&&[7:22]

"lead by example"

RECOMMENDED: be received for information, with thanks.

http://westvancouver.ca/parks-recreation/community-centres/gleneagles-community-centre/gleneagles-advisory-committee}

Mayor: good luck to all the successful applicants

TP: signing of the Howe Sound Cmnty Forum Mgmt Agrmt

all to work toward a comprehensive mgmt plan for Howe Sound

don't have a decision-making role but all come together to cooperate

prov's new tool, Cumulative &&&

not what we expected but good first step

looking long term and will be monitoring the Sound

is it what we wanted? no; but it is a good step forward

NG: Good luck to get out Lawson Pk Family Day; really fun day; thx to staff

CC: I also got there but I got rained on; helping my wife, an artist, working on show

shipping containers, group work, works by ea of the students

think an opening on weekend

our first mtg of the CEC a couple of weeks ago and having another next Monday at 4:30, discussing and guidelines for WGs; WG model and better ways to engage public

{ironic -- better ways to engage public when some in favour of closed mtgs..... :-( }

Mayor: Cclr Cam is chairing that Cmte

last week get names &&& both mtgs depressing, will try to be tactful

what little control we in WV have

motion in the closed mtg that violates ev xxx I've known of in 45 years

open mtg had

incinerator cost of $500M

$700M waste water proposal; $1.5B for Iona

$2 or 3M xxx more than a $B for &&&

question of way MetroV executes projs

$150M legal???? at Capilano

This Build Canada Fund we're relying on -- not that much money, how are we going to

MetroV and TransLink both rely on prop assessment so that means WV pays 3x what the av homeowner

we have v little control; two votes out of over 100

look at what we pay through our prop and gas taxes -- we cd provide free buses

have to stop and think of what's happening; we have no control; dominated by ppl with no biz experience

[7:40]

5. Results of Cmnty Engagement on Proposed Coach House Policies, Regulations, and Guidelines

Sokol gave history of mtgs, etc: Tonight presentation; bring back bylaws on May 26

comments tonight and keep them open till Wed

Stephen Mikicich: Opps for offering housing choice; coach houses mentioned over and over

cmnty has been talking about coach houses for some time, addressing it for 18 mos.

Reports, SLIDES

1 rental only; detached suites; no increase in density or floor area or units

five points

Sept 1913 Ccl asked staff to prepare bylaws; proposed bylaws presented to Ccl in Nov 2013

RS6, Eagle Island

lands designated for infill housing -- 2000 block Esq and Fulton; Heritage conservation

Proposed zoning Regulations [7:45]

RD1 and RD2 where suites permitted but not allowed where

hts ... max FAR ... lesser of 10% to a max of 1200sqft

same sideyards as for principal house; sec stes, local occupancy of local prop mgr

xxx; no separate title meaning unit cd not be sold separately

from Nov 2013, next process of public consultation; until March 14; 100s attended and answered surveys

focus sessions; critiqued our proposals, viability, disability issues

102 questionnaires: 75% support; ownership 63%; 51% as incentive for heritage conservation

also suggesting a heritage conservation prog that's still in its infancy

views, privacy, sunlight, shading, noise

SLIDES -- 56% supported a detached... 36% both... % only

The revised &&&

site coverage, use DP process to vary; 59% agree not increase %

Bylaws presented this evening are in draft form

staff wd work over the summer on the process

&&& [7:50]

application fees, recovery, bylaw amendments to fees and charges

implementation wd be closely monitored by staff; xxx

Sop: wd the nbrhd have a veto wrt any coach house in their vicinity?

SM: no, we don't anticipate

Sop: wd the Ccl have a veto?

SM: yes

two-stage DP approval

first, est the siting: the second, bldg and landscape design; at each, consultation

if Ccl elects to delegate to staff

Sokol: the prov requires that any DP delegated to staff must have an appeal process

Sop: if this comes to fruition, will be at discretion of Planning

SM: if delegated to staff

Sop: as much as the enthusiasm indicated, I've heard a lot of negative re coach houses

fear of change; seems to be a number of loopholes that bother me; won't go into them today

you'll come back

from cclrs' input tonight you'll build that in?

if I say I won't support unless I have the final say

SM: we're taking notes

Sokol: depends on [7:55]

Mayor: xxx

NG: if I understand correctly tonight is the night I say to you wrt coming to next mtg

Sokol: yes, staff wd like, but next mtg goes to first reading, then has to go to a PH

NG: so tonight or forever hold our peace, pls explain

SM: after 12 mos report how many applicns rec'd and if any built use that experience

then maybe rec changes... might be ...

NG: like the idea of a year review

we're not promoting covered; requiring one parking space but doesn't have to be covered

SM: making sure

incentives... Vanc experience is that the garage becomes a living space and ppl park on street, so we have open parking

NG: good idea

incentivize, didn't know the spelling; assuming way to be written -- other ways to

Vanc experience -- a lot of older homes getting demolished then a new house plus a coach house and don't like

SM: might incentivize ppl to reno their own home and build

experience in Vanc, density [7:59] &&&

free density

&&&

I see this as supporting efforts to support character

ML: on page 6 of your report, second bullet from bottom

xxxx

&&&&

not suggesting put all seniors in storage

{laughter}

SM: downsizing.....

really looking to &&& space

ML: think there's some ambiguity that still exists

don't think this is universally endorsed by the cmnty

also a little bit concerned we have avoided the issue of nbrhd character

[impact] on sgl-fam nbrhds; will vary

ppl bought in sgl-fam nbrhds and wake up one day with detached ste in nbr's backyard

{or, if he recalls, a large srs' facility -- if he includes Eden Place who even had a nbrhd character document submitted to Ccl, but didn't mention it then.}

on p 66 {quoted.....}

who's going to define and adjudicate?

not an answer tonight but articulated and clarified so we have something to vote on

section xxx seems to be a lot of wiggle room

corner, or maybe somewhere else IF, one that gets me .... re steep lots and reconfiguration

how steep does it have to be?

some notes before next go round

p78 of Zoning Bylaw -- I agree with that

having a prop mgr look after while the resident owner is not one anymore, lives in Okanagan or Arizona

going from families, almost becoming purpose-built rental

becomes speculative; not meeting a need stipulated by cmnty

pervious, Gambioli's xxxx ??? [8:05]

{IMO, pervious v important; considered preferable more than a decade ago!}

don't think this is going to slip through in a couple of mtgs

xxx and Zoning bylaw

&&&

Sokol: wrt Nbrhd Character; a DP allows us to look at Nbrhd Character

ask nbr/devt to respond

sgl-fam home wd not allow us to look at nbrhd character; this gives us opp to look at

prop mgr provision the same as for sec stes

MB: also concerned nbrs be consulted; pls clarify process

{fascinating question; was it clear wrt Eden Place/Sentinel Hill?}

SM: first stage is when someone is contemplating a coach house, wd ask them to come in and say where sited

then want them to demonstrate have already spoken to the nbrs, know what concerns

two-stage process; looking at landscaping and design

also looking at retaining a landscaping consultant, fee to cover that cost

MB: there was a comment from someone in Brit Props with a lot wider than deep b/c wd hv room on side (not front or back)

SM: generally this wd be located in the rear yard; where no rear yard, cd locate in front or back

wide shallow lot, may be possible in side yard, wd hv to take into account size, views, etc; first stage

MB: where did you land on the basement issue?

{a loophole have been trying to plug for some years; we got the balcony/deck one closed; this remains}

SM: left it as it is -- a basement cd be built

{oh no! that often results in larger, higher houses b/c part not in FAR calc.}

wanted to minimize site disturbance

{basements do!}

right now if goes forward wd be as in existing Zoning Bylaw

TP: want to point out that monster houses are nbrhd character

letters we get re trees coming down

wd rather be known as small houses than monster

3.1.4 re Heritage Register

know some work been done by staff trying to hang on to our built heritage; thank you for having it

CC: in general in support of what staff has brought forward

as to opposition, there is no issue in this cmnty for wch there is no opposition

{that's not the critical point, it's the amt and kind}

if we didn't act in spite of that, there'd be no

define where the nbrhd is

define parameters, get consensus, get a vote? how? petition?

{good ideas}

recipe for nothing, a task almost impossible

on the ground practical approach rather than big bang

much as common law develops, on a case-by-case basis

{British common law vs Napoleonic Code}

views shd be taken into account

drive up and down in Ambleside, houses getting knocked down

great many getting built pay no

festering sore, knock down all the trees, surface impervious..... no nod to context or nbrhd

avoid that, keep status quo, this may preserve that

these decisions can't be done one by one by Ccl, enormous staff tme

failure as a prog

delegating to staff is prudent, a robust review after one year; but partway through construction

can see after Geller's

[8:16] fit in, won't even notice them

&&&

{he's referring to Hollyburn Mews, and some nbrs still think they overpower and are not affordable at over $1M}

&&&

xxx is a big prob for me

if limited take up ...

{difficult? they'll just say} screw it, just going to sell to a devpr

staff think about in the next week

incentivizing a coach house with some variation on FAR or site coverage, not ht

&&&

one level b/c ppl more concerned about ht

site coverage???

opposite to Cclr Sop's, maybe not enough take-up; status quo but many calls not wanting status quo

Sop: I disagree with some of the statements you've made but I'll take it up with you in private

Staff said signif cost &&&

as owner going through process, news spreads, how do you prevent spending a lot of money before you get moving on this?

SM: we try to get a handle on

potentially upgrade a water main in front of the props

we have mapping

areas where v little devt and services not brought up to standard

these wd hv to be sprinklered

proposing to devp a feasibility checklist to see if viable before hiring an architect

Sop: a house built on Jefferson with two units, sgl garage, two driveways, one owner, covered walkway

they live in front and others live in back

if this was to go ahead based on slope, are we looking a the tip of the iceberg re variances?

22ft hi, 1200sf, 16ft from a reg house, isn't that producing a massing as big as a monster house?

from outset make sense to start lower sq ftg?

Mayor: whole bunch of questions there

Sop: he's listening

Mayor: xxx

Sokol: DP process; trying to achieve meeting the guidelines

steep slopes, signif trees,....... done through devt process

Mayor: start with a smaller coach house and work up from there?

{good but slowly or not at all.....}

Sokol: this wd allow the same number of sq ft but rather than one house in two; encouraging two smaller houses rather than one large one

Sop: covenant in Brit Props, coach houses not allowed

signif of accepting coach houses, grid system to 26th or 27th, so probably accessed from back (lanes)

so in west in front or driveways from front around to the back?

SM: one of the challenges, opps, is that there's no standard lot

rectangular lot with lane, coach house where usu garage

further west, take into account, size

alteration re

nothing saying there has to be ... cd be a designated driveway

Mayor: all of Ccl paid close attention

three stuck in my mind:

have to get nbrs

CC has a good point, spend all this time and end up with something that is not a success

final product has to be

and one level a lot more chance getting accepted by the nbrhd

{accepted by nbrhd? ask the Eden Place/Sentinel Hill nbrs.....}

MB made motion: THAT direction on any amdmts to draft coach house bylaws, att'd as Appendices A’ and B™ to the report from the Mgr of Cmnty Planning, dated April 14 be provided to staff so that draft bylaws may be finalized for Council’s consideration of first reading at its meeting on May 26, 2014.

Sop: xxx

Sokol: bring draft; June 16 PH; effective date, prob'ly Oct

over summer wd xxx consultation(???)

if Ccl moves forward, Sept, Oct

Once operational, reports interim, ev two or three months

Mayor: so lots of time for comments

SIDEWALKS

RF: letter has not yet come in for Ccl to see

We are addressing this

in 50% design stage from our consultants so staff thought, going to take some time to do this, wanted to show something

so shaved off Phase 1

throttle traffic back; put some of those things in place so nbrhd wd have benefit now

[8:33] will in Phase one

Mayor: and staff will take Ms V's suggestion and consult with nbrhds

RF: tricky b/c prop impact

issues of topography xxx and paths; does take some time to work through

Mayor: Cclr Booth, you brought this forward {11.2}

MB: what is the &&&, and will this come to Ccl at some point?

RF: nbrhd preferred Option 1

staff just felt shd proceed and had not contemplated coming back to Ccl b/c funding already provided

MB: multi pathway on S? side of Keith

know 1200blk of Clyde -- no place to walk, cars coming through... dangerous stretch

RF: Option A includes xxx optional also

meanwhile traffic calming will have some ped safety benefits

remove a bit of slip thorugh? down weth? get direction

MB: what do you mean by optional?

RF: xxx cost is beyond budget

also on Clyde a number of v narrow, 33ft, lots so impact of sidewalk wd have signif impact -- sorting out the existing landscaping in the blvd; thought a prob so wd do phase 1 first

11.3. May 1, 2014, regarding Heritage Cedar Trees / Policy for Trees on Private Property

Mayor: re trees

Reinhard (?)Fassler: trees on private prop

thank Cclrs Gam, Sop, and Cam for responding to my letter in a somewhat encouraging way

thought I shd elaborate on the incident that triggered

1136 Mathers -- a microcosm of the prob; no protection of trees on priv prop

... of an older post and beam in 1950s

demolition, cutting down of three major cedars xxx diameter

20 trees xxx in process, half demolished between side/next house

logger starts by cutting the limbs

arborist

now he starts talking to nbrs' lots to remove trees to get further views

blvd trees got to us

a devpr can go to the District to remove the blvd trees

{hm -- didn't know that; surely only to be removed if dangerous or diseased -- it's part of WV's character!}

someone hates trees, can see gain

why can we not as a v first step protect the blvd trees

why not say blvd trees protected, no question

{yes yes yes!}

if dangerous, arborist; don't think we shd invite &&&

Cclr Gamb said we had at two-year time frame

why not xxx [8:45]

having lived at 11th and Mathers, wish I had documented.... in last ten years [tree loss] has accelerated

we talk about the nbrhd... monster houses... loss of trees

Mayor: points out and clearly &&&

TP: I pulled this letter

back to OCP E10, 11m they're out of date

my reason for pulling it is to allow staff to report

found it when discussing the Parks Master Plan

big

Cclr Gamb has done a good job with invasive species

need to be getting our heads around it; best practices

access to views

growing up I always heard view through the trees

{yes, yes, yes -- my mantra: the view is through the trees and/or framed by the trees}

have to address this

NG: in the letter that wasn't answered and wasn't answered last week was the time frame

are we going to consider making this a priority for staff, not there now, I don't think

so residents wdn't get their hopes up, process wd take a couple of years; longer than we'd like

can anyone comment about blvd trees?

Mayor: Ms Mooi

Sokol: some that I can tag-team with Ms Mooi

on blvd, Parks; on priv prop, Planning

difference over the years

block views and access to sunlight -- 50% believed that; others believe they contribute to xxx nbrhd character

diff talking about someone with a sgl-fam lot vs devping a prop, someone coming in to clearcut the whole area

if too strict regulating trees, likelihood cut down all the trees and then come in for a DP a few months later

I know Parks Dept has some time in workplan

think most of the work in 2015

AM: what Mr Sokol has said, that's what we're doing

looking at what other Ms are doing; doing a review this year; an analysis 2015

park dedication this year

we know this is v imp to the cmnty; will engage the cmnty; bring to Ccl in 2015

Mayor: to the gentleman's point

cd put a moratorium on tree-cutting on our blvds now so doing something

AM: we'll talk to him

Sop: need a tree mgmt plan

did have review of trees, overgrown process to remove

new devt

we made the mistake with Whitby estates, gave permission for roads, and they cleared the whole area

valuable, work with arborist

Mr Sokol, some of your..... sideyards , etc, and trees

when a devt starts the trees in the area have reached their life expectancy

look at sideyards

.. down in the ground, going to affect the roots, and tree will die anyway

road ends, beautiful trees -- petition, cut down, that's got to end

ML: my understanding is that there's already a bylaw not to cut down trees on blvd

so if process what's wrong w/ moratorium?

we have an arborist to see if diseased; don't want to make work for staff

NL: staff will look at as quickly as we can

mid June, July staff will say what we're doing and what we can do

CC: report in 2015 and that's 2016 so I'd like to hit some of the low-hanging fruit

whatever policy is I know what happens, new house, they cut down all the trees on the blvd

you can see that driving around the blvd

in short term, about cutting in blvd, come up with in next month

Mr Sokol, may be difficult, but Parks not

Mayor: &&&

Reagan often used to get confused in his speeches

"trees cause more environmental damage than acid rain"

1984 at university they put signs on trees:

cut me down before I kill again!

=== PHOTOWATCH === Beautiful BC

If you've ever seen Listeners' Lens from Almanac on CBC [ http://www.cbc.ca/bcalmanac/photogallery/#igImgId_84726 ], you'll know how exceptional the photos from all around BC are. They are numbered 1 to 128. Unfortunately when they add photos, the new one is 1 so can't say if the numbers will be the same, but they will be in the same order. No 1 on Thursday May 29 was a mother bear with two cubs. There are a couple of Ambleside (#15 of the park), a triangle composition of mountains and water (24), Lighthouse Park (38), Roedde House Museum (106), along with other scenes and marvellous animal photos including a badger.

> Donetsk -- Lots of action going on in eastern Ukraine so thought I'd google Donetsk having heard of it (bn to Kyiv but not the Donbas region). What a surprise to find out Donetsk was founded in 1869 by a Welsh miner, John Hughes!

Excerpt: The city was founded in 1869 by a Welsh businessman, John Hughes, who constructed a steel plant and several coal mines in the region; ... During Soviet times, the city's steel industry was expanded. In 1924 it was renamed Stalino, and in 1932 the city became the centre of the Donetsk region. Renamed Donetsk in 1961, the city today remains the centre for Ukraine's coal mining and notable steel industry centre. Donetsk currently has a popn of over 982,000 inhabitants (2010) and has a metropolitan area of over 2M inhabitants (2011). According to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, Donetsk is the fifth-largest city in Ukraine. Donetsk is nicknamed "The City of a Million Roses".

Arctic Ice Melt to Release 1 Trillion Pieces of Plastic Into Sea 28 May 14 by Renee Lewis, Al Jazeera America

...As the Arctic ice melt accelerates due to climate change it could release more than 1 trillion pieces of plastic into the ocean over the next decade, possibly posing a major threat to marine life, a new scientific report said.

The report, titled “Global Warming Releases Microplastic Legacy Frozen in Arctic Sea Ice,ť said ice in some remote locations contains at least twice as much plastic as previously reported areas of surface water such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch “ an area of plastic waste estimated to be bigger than the state of Texas....

Plants For Bees

Native Plants for Native Pollinators; Native Plant species list for the B.C. Lower Mainland and surrounding areas

... The loss of natural forage sources and habitat fragmentation are considered to be among the leading causes of the rapid decline of the indigenous Bumble Bee populations throughout the Lower Mainland and surrounding area.

Studies of the Western Bumble Bee (Bombus occidentalis) have projected that, over the past thirty years, a population decline of over 90% has occurred in some areas of the West Coast. This would indicate that significant action needs to be implemented by the people living within the Cascadia region of B.C. to prevent the complete loss of some our local pollinator species....

Vancouver Craft Beer Week -- Friday May 30 to June 7 -- look -- where else? -- at: vancouvercraftbeerweek.com

get your taste buds ready! Last year we liked (Powell Street Craft Brewery) David Bowkett's White IPA -- it has coriander, orange peel, and Citra hops. Can't wait to try {Storm Brewing) James Walton's rosemary-infused IPA, basil-infused IPA, vanilla whisky stout, and a radler (wch is a grapefruit juice or other fruit juice mixed with beer, so it's kind of sweet and sour). Also looking forward to trying Lighthouse Rhubie Rhubarb Ale (said to be a Belgian witbier; cloudy, tart, and spicy), and Old Yale Outta Wack Mango Wheat -- and who cd resist a name like Mt Begbie Attila the Honey?

=== LANGUAGEWATCH === sometimes a political statement -- whisky vs whiskey

Some don't know, are oblivious, but for others it has significance. Whisky is the spelling in the UK and Canada. Whiskey is in Ireland, and that other rebellious nation, the US. To E or not to E, that is the question.

=== WORDWATCH === Possessive again (maybe this shd be GrammarWatch or PunctuationWatch)

The last issue explained why Charles's name had that possessive S at the end (b/c it's not plural), so this time a reminder that means Pope Francis's name needs the S too! eg Bridget Jones's Diary; she's the Joneses' daughter.

++ HOUSEWATCH! The Legg Mansion built in 1899

We must be active and increase our efforts to save what we cherish in our cmnties. Vancouver has -- amazingly and bizarrely -- issued a demolition permit for a 115-year-old house (but keeping the tulip tree). There was an excellent article in VSun's Saturday edition (May 24? pC5). It shows bylaws can/shd encourage preservation rather than demolition (loss, alas wch, Vancouver's presently do). The TV news (both CBC and CTV) had pieces on the Legg Residence, one of three oldies in the West End -- saving the tulip tree and demolishing the house. I'm all for trees in our park-like cmnty but you can't plant another house!

2014 Heritage House Tour: A very special late addition!

Built for brewery baron George C. Reifel in 1932, Casa Mia is Vancouver's leading example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. With a distinctive custom design by architect Ross Anthony Lort, the home's estate once stretched to the edge of the Fraser River. The opulent interior includes a sprung ballroom with stage that served as the second Commodore Ballroom to many of Vancouver's best known performers, a stunning central staircase with original woodwork, tile and impressive pendant light, a nursery hand-painted in egg tempera by Disney artists, and a gold swan faucet in the ladies' powder room. The entire residence is beautifully retained and still holds the glamour expected of a home built for one of Vancouver's most notable businessmen.

This is a very special opportunity that is only part of the 2014 Heritage House Tour.

Heritage House Tour -- 10am - 5pm Sunday, June 1st Tickets $40
