CapWest goes to public [email protected]

The future of a neighbourhood-dening development inLower Capilano now rests with the residents followingDistrict of NorthVancouver councils unanimousdecisionMonday to send amassive project to publichearing.

The former CapWest Athletic Club site, locatedwest of Capilano Road between Fullerton Avenue and

Curling Road, is slated to be transformed into a 451-unitdevelopment and community centre.The vacant site willbecome home to an 18- and 12-storey tower, four low-rise buildings and 20 townhouse units pending councilsapproval.

Citing an $11-million nancial risk for the district,council delayed its vote on moving the project to publichearing last week, much to the displeasure of neighbourhoodresidents who called on the deliberative body to quicken itspace.

Having lived in Lower Capilano for more than half acentury, Bernice Carmichael told council: We have beenpatient long enough, lets just do it.

Teachers tentative deal brings relief

[email protected]

Students could be backin the classroom by thebeginning of next week,after a tentative dealbetween the provinceand the B.C.TeachersFederation was reachedin the early hours ofTuesday morning.

Negotiators for thetwo sides reached theagreement after a marathonbargaining session with thehelp of veteran mediatorVince Ready.

The deal must still beratied by the teachersunion in a vote thisThursday.

But parents, teachersand students who woke

up to the newsTuesdaymorning were alreadybreathing a collective sighof relief.

Grade 12 Argyle studentHannah Green said she wasreally, really excited tohear about a possible end tothe strike when she turnedon the news. Its a bigweight off our shoulders,she said.

Green said sheslooking forward to goingback to school. It will bereally nice to have somefamiliarity back, she said.

Sutherland teacherNorm Nichols said hewas pleasantly surprised adeal had been reached. Iexpected we were probablygoing to October, he said.This has come as a

real relief.Nichols called the

deal a step in the rightdirection, regardless ofwhats in it.

Its better the dealwas negotiated ratherthan legislated, he said.Theres a strongercommitment to whatevertheyve decided.

Few details of the dealwere available ahead of theagreement being presentedto teachersWednesday.

But Premier ChristyClark conrmed in a newsconference a six-year termis being proposed.

Other leaked detailsincluded the possibility of a7.25 per cent wage hike forteachers, money to addressBCTF grievances related toclass size and compositionand more than $480million to boost classroomsupports.

Clark described the

negotiated deal to mediaTuesday as fantastic newsand a really remarkableachievement.

Clark thanked familiesfor their patience duringthe strike, adding, It wasa painful thing for so manyfamilies to endure this workstoppage.

She called the agreementa game changer, adding,Our kids could be back inschool as early as Monday.

Administrators in bothNorthVancouver andWestVancouver were busymaking plansTuesday tosee how early classroomscould be open.

Some of that may bedetermined by whats in thetentative agreement.

Our goal is to makesure we open schools assoon as possible, saidDave Eberwein, assistantsuperintendent ofWestVancouver schools. But

there will still be practicalissues to work out, headded.

Eberwein saidadministrators have donea lot of preparation workahead of time, but will stillhave to do some classroomplanning with teachers oncethe picket lines come down.

Both school districtswill likely start off witha shortened rst day ofschool to allow that tohappen.

The physical conditionof classrooms will be less ofa concern, said Eberwein,adding schools inWestVancouver have beenaccessible to janitorial andmaintenance staff over thesummer.

Administrators at bothschool districts said theyexpect to send informationto parents about a possiblerst day of school as soonas they have some details

worked out.Education Minister

Peter Fassbender saidTuesday education ministryofcials are talking withsuperintendents to gureout how to deal with thetime lost from the schoolyear so far, includinghow that will change thecurriculum taught to seniorhigh school students. Thereare plans being put in placeright now, he said, addingthey will be announced afterthe vote is ratied.

Eberwein said whenthe news of a possibleagreement came out onTuesday, There wasalmost a palpable sense ofrelief, at school districtheadquarters. We canhardly wait to get back atit.

Jim Iker, president ofthe BCTF, was scheduledto speak to reporters afterpress timeTuesday.

Students, teachers express hopethat school will start Monday

A NorthVancouverwoman who won a B.C.Human RightsTribunalaward after she wasousted from her jobwhile pregnant saidshe hopes the decisionsends a message to otheremployers.

Stephanie Lipp, 25,was awarded $9,500 afterthe rights tribunal agreedher former employer,Mavericks Sports LoungeinVancouver, discriminatedagainst her when she waspregnant.

Lipp said shes happywith the decision, althoughshe described the win asmore of a moral victorythan a nancial one.

I just sincerely hopethat any woman whosbeing treated like this, thatshe sees that its possible togo in and win, said Lipp.

Lipp said shes beengetting a lot of positivecomment especially fromother women since thedecision was made public.

A lot of the feedbackIve gotten has been Thankyou so much for standingup for me, she said.

Lipp had worked as a

waitress at theVancouverbar and had a reputationas a good worker who waspopular with customers,according to staff whotestied at a B.C. HumanRightsTribunal hearing inAugust.

But after the bar soldto a new owner, in March2013, Lipps hours weredrastically cut as part of ascheme to get her to quit.

David Lo, formermanager at Mavericks,testied Lipp was an assetto the company andbrought in business.

But he said the newowner Michael OConnellhad an issue with theoptics of having a pregnantserver working in a bar hehad just purchased.

While reviewing a stafflist, Lo said when they gotto Lipps name, OConnellplaced his hands in frontof his stomach in a gestureindicating she was pregnant.Lo said he was told toreduce Lipps hours and tellher the schedule was justbeing re-evaluated.

Another employee, abar manager, also testiedthat OConnell had asked,Whats with the pregnantgirl?

The seven-day delaymay result in the districtgetting its hands on $11million a lot sooner than waspreviously planned.

The initial proposal wasfor Larco to give the districtan $8.5-million letter ofcredit at the end of Phase 2meaning a tower wouldbe built and occupied beforethe municipality would geta dime.

The new arrangement,which was agreed uponshortly after council votedto delay, calls for Larco toissue the $8.5-million letterof credit before renters moveinto Phase 1.The districtis also scheduled to receive$2.5 million in communityamenity contributions uponissuing the building permit.

The new deal waspossible only becausecouncil was steadfast at thenegotiating table, accordingto Coun. Lisa Muri.

After months andmonths and months ofasking . . . in 24 hours Larcosimply agreed because wewere playing hardball.

But while the moneywill come sooner, thecommunity centre isntslated to be built for sevenyears which may be toolong for some councillors.

Theres part of me,council, that wonders if itwill ever show up,Murisaid of the centre.

Looking ahead sevenyears,Muri wondered if$8.5 million would stillcover the cost of labour andmaterials.

Development on the 4.4-acre site is scheduled for fourphases over approximately10 years, with construction

beginning at the sites southend, close to Curling Road.

Coun. Roger Bassamrecalled plans to build acommunity centre in thearea back in 1996.

While government isslow, thats shameful, hesaid, referring to a potential25-year delay.

The problem in the1990s was the inability tond a suitable site, accordingto Bassam.

I dont want to be in aposition again where we have$11 million and nowhere tospend the money.

Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn expressed similarmisgivings, wondering ifmarket uctuations couldimpact the constructiontimetable.

Seven years is a longtime . . . the market couldturn upside down.Thecondo market on the NorthShore right now is almost atits limit.

As one of the projectschampions, Coun.Alan

Nixon implored councilMonday to move the projectto public hearing, remindinghis colleagues that many inthe neighbourhood wereabreast of the decade-longconstruction schedule.

Larco have always beenclear in their presentations atthose meetings, which veryfew of you have attended,he said

Part of what makes theproject distinctive is itsfocus on alternate housing,including a 45-unit, four-storey seniors building aswell as a six-storey, 74-unitmarket rental building.The deal with the districtincludes an agreement bothbuildings would remainrental in perpetuity.

The development waslauded for its diversity ofhousing, with longtimeresident Barbara Browndrawing attention to thebenet that could be enjoyedby the districts mostvulnerable residents.

Larcos development

includes a 125,000-square-foot underground storagebusiness.

The project also entailsa bike trail, park and a plazadesigned to host fairs andconcerts.

Once the project isnished, it will add 97vehicles to the morning rushhour, spread evenly betweenCurling and Fullerton,according to a staff report.

The increase amountsto one extra car every 1.2minutes.

The public hearing isscheduled for Oct. 7.

Community centre still sevenyearsaway


Back to schoolW ere heartened that kids willlikely soon be returning to theclassroom where they belong.Premier Christy Clark boasted

Tuesday afternoon the tentative dealreached with the BCTF wont resultin a tax increase or decit spending,which we applaud as well.After months of teachers and the

province either ignoring each other ortrading barbs in the media, it appearsthe elements of a negotiated settlementwere there all along.Both sides had to give something.

Although it appears at rst blush thatthe teachers had to give more.Its highly likely the BCTF saw

the writing on the wall. Rather thanrisk being legislated back to work inOctober always the governmentsfallback position despite earlyprotestations to the contrary they

chose to get the best deal they could atthe negotiating table.The province held more cards, but

also apparently saw the wisdom ingiving the teachers more than $100million to deal with potential uniongrievances related to class size andcomposition.That issue is still beforethe courts and a third consecutive losscould have cost the government a lotmore.Too bad it took both sides so long to

reach these conclusions.If nothing else, the protracted strike

was an important reminder of the valueof the public school system. Not only isit essential to education, its also a hugeemployer, a source of business for localcompanies, community hub, and socialservice frontline.Thats a resource worth investing in,

and worth ghting for.

Our future premier is in public school todayDear Editor:

My high school isclosed, and Im waving atmy teachers through a carwindow every morningwhen I am supposed to bein school.This is the realityfor thousands of studentsthroughout the provinceas we wait out the labourdispute.

I would like to expressmy personal disappointmentwith the B.C. government,as there seems to be nourgency to get studentsback in school. As a child,we have a right to education an education we have notbeen receiving.

Our government has theresponsibility to make sureour rights are protected andour education is preserved,and this is not being done.Anxiety among students isrising as we begin to worry

how the dispute will affectour education.

From a students pointof view, class size andcomposition make a hugedifference in our education.I have been in small classesof around 15 students andclasses of 30. In largerclasses it was way harderto focus, tests took longerto be marked, and therewas less personal timewith the teacher. All thesethings directly impacted myperformance.

This is contrary tothe smaller classes I havebeen in where there wasmore time for classroomdiscussion, more personalattention from the teacher,the room was quieter, testswere handed back faster,and overall it was a muchbetter learning environment.

These are things the

government should beaware of.Their decisionsimpact so many studentsand we deserve the besteducation possible.

Investing in teachers islike investing directly intothe future of our province. Itmay not be tangible, but the

future premier is somewherein the school system; as wellas many other students thatwill one day play importantroles in society.

Teachers are the onesinspiring, educating,and supporting us.Theydont do it because it is

glamorous, they do itbecause they have a passionfor it. I see it every day inmy teachers and Id like tosee my government respectthem as much as I do andreally consider if their payis fair.

The bottom line is: I

need to go back to schooland so do my peers.Weare done being caught inthe middle.We are beingcheated (out of) oureducation and our schoolcommunity.That is not fair.Lauren BaumanWestVancouver

Dear Editor:The July 18 column by

Brendan McAleer aboutthe new speed limits needsa response.

I cant disagree with himstrongly enough.The raisedlimits are a disaster waitingto happen.

The week beforethe increases I droveto Kelowna via theCoquihalla. My speed

on cruise was between115 and 118 km/h. Somepeople passed me. I passedsome people.Very seldomwas the speed differentialvery much either wayexcept on uphill grades.

I came back the day thenew signage was installed.I set my cruise to thesame speed as always. It iscomfortable. But this timethere were speed demons

around me. No one wasgoing my speed or less.Theonly times I had to passpeople was up the hills.Down the hills, on the ats,every place the speeds wereway up.Trucks, buses, andgrandma in her little citycar were all going over 120km/h.

I am not an old fuddyduddy from the farm. Ihave driven the autobahns

in Europe, usually about180 km/h but now andthen a bit faster; 235 km/hin southern Germany.

To those who think thenew speed limits are justa reection of reality, Ihope your dreaming doesnot put me, my family oranyone I know in jeopardyor worse.Walter KnechtNorthVancouver

New,higher speed limits spell disaster


Readybrings sanity to protracteddisputeIts time we restorededucation as an essentialservice, to ensure studentsare never again denied accessto the education your taxdollars pay for, simply becauseof a labour dispute. Everyday a child is shut out of aclassroom is a learning daylost to that child forever.

New Era document2001

Around 4 a.m.yesterday morning, itwas announced that atentative deal had beenreached between the B.C.Teachers Federation andthe B.C. Public SchoolEmployers Association.

Details of the settlementhave not been revealed attime of writing but its clearall British Columbiansowe veteran mediatorVince Ready a huge voteof thanks for yet again bringing sanity to asituation that should neverhave arisen.

If you, as I did, shookhands with the BC Liberalsand voted to approve thedeals they outlined in their2001 New Era prospectus,are you feeling defrauded?

I am.And nothing reminded

me more of that fraud,than to hear currentEducation MinisterPeter Fassbender tellingtelevision cameras that theprovincial government hasno intention of legislatingteachers back to work, andthen, on Sept. 6 refusingthe BCTF offer to acceptbinding arbitration.

Of course not; the longerhe claimed government hadno more resources, themore government hopedmounting public pressurewould convince teachers togive up. Bad move.

Then, on Sept. 1,Fassbender told the media

the two parties were lessthan a newly leakingstadium roof apart.

Of course, he didntput it that way. Instead,with doleful face, heregretted governmentand BCTF were still$300 million apart, asthough the problem wasinsurmountable unless theunion caved in on teachersdemands.

This is not to say Iwas one hundred percent behind BCTFstrategy; I still dont agreewith its decision to takestrike action just prior tograduation.

But when you considerthat no less than four courtdecisions have come downagainst a succession ofgovernments, you canthelp but think our FamiliesFirst crew left teachers,parents and their childrento shoulder the grief.

So, looking back, whatwas the rst move made bythe Campbell regime?

Eight months after theNew Era dawned, MinisterChristy Clark tabled Bill27, the Education ServicesCollective Agreement Act,

and Bill 28, the PublicEducation Flexibility andChoice Act on Jan. 25,2002.

Those two piecesof legislation not onlycontained clauses JusticeSusan Grifn found to beunconstitutional but, ineffect, they tore up a legallynegotiated agreementwith BCTF and removedthe ability of professional

educators to participate indecisions involving classsize and composition.

Far from settling downthe ever-smoulderingrelationship between theunion and the provincialgovernment, the Liberalsthen had the gall to appealthe Grifn decision.

But with respect tothe tentatively concludednegotiations, there are two

other important points tobe made about the Grifndecision:

First, the judge notedthat government had actedin bad faith during theprevious round of contractnegotiations so whywould anyone be surprisedthe BCTF was determinednot to let it happen again?

FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

MORRIS FOR MAYORDo you think the city should be allowing therezoning and sale of public assembly schoollands to developers?

I do not believe we should be allowing therezoning of public school lands so developerscan increase density in our residential singlefamily neighbourhoods. These public lands shouldbe used by the city to increase public park spacesand playing fields, and to provide much neededlocations for daycare and eldercare facilities, and forexpanding our network of recreational and healthcarefacilities for all our residents!

Public school lands if sold can never be replaced.What happens when school enrolment reboundsand these schools are needed? Densification willbring more school age children, where will they go?

Second, Grifnanticipated class size andcomposition would, indeed,be an appropriate itemto include in negotiationdiscussions. At this point,it remains to be seen howthe tentative agreementproposes to handle thatpart of the teachersdemands. However, if weadd Grifns ndings to theB.C. Supreme Court caseswon by formerVictoriaschool trustee JohnYoungin 1997 and 2006, we seethat together, under theSchool Act, the provinceis required to provide allresources from the K-12 curriculum that arenecessary for students tograduate.

Today, all resourcesmeans negotiating and funding anappropriate number ofspecial education teachingassistants in the classroomfor students with specialneeds.

One teacher cant teach25 normal kids at theirpace, explain conceptsin English to a kid whodoesnt understand thelanguage, all the whiletending to students whohave a wide spectrumof learning challenges.Everyone suffers in asystem like that.

Minister Fassbendermade a great play totaxpayers when he claimedthe budget had no room forthe BCTF demands.

Yet, for 14 years, thebusiness-savvy Liberalshave found funds enoughfor legacy projects anda bottomless pit for legalappeals, for the leaky roofon BC Place stadium, andfor the $36 million theysquandered on settling withBoss Energy and Basi-Virks lawyers.

One decision or another,those and similar itemscost British Columbiansbillions of dollars.YetFassbender and his boss who, these days, has

to be dragged away fromrunning provincial affairsviaTwitter couldnt ndenough dollars to supportfundamental education forour future generation?

If government was sosure teachers demandswere all about money, theyshould have called theirbluff and avoided the strikealtogether by agreeingto binding arbitration onsalaries and benets.

This column has beenre-written about six timesalready and the goal postsare still in motion.

As things stand,however, what Im hopingis that, as suggested weeksago by a Gabriola Islandresident, the two partieswill unconditionallyagree to abide by theoutcome of an acceleratedcourt hearing on the matterof breach of contract onclass-size and compositionwith a decision to bebrought down before Oct.31.

At the hearing, Lipptestied she was angry andhurt when she heard thatOConnell wanted hergone due to her pregnancy,especially because so manypeople knew, but did notspeak up against it.

At the hearing,

OConnell testied, saying,he felt there had been nodiscrimination againstLipp, according to HumanRightsTribunal documents.

But tribunal adjudicatorRobert Blasina didnt agree,awarding Lipp $2,000 forlost wages and $7,500 forhurt feelings.

After she was effectivelydismissed, Lipp went towork more shifts at herother job at the BCITsstudent pub, before going

on maternity leave.Her son was born in

The crash happened in

the westbound lane of theUpper Levels just beforethe LynnValley exit around8 a.m.Tuesday morning.

Everything resultedfrom poor driving onbehalf of another driveroperating a black BMW.That erratic driving madethe motorcyclist and othermotorists take evasiveaction. In doing so, there

was a chain reaction inwhich the motorcyclelost control, said Cpl.Garth Domm, PortMann Highway Patrolspokesman.

Cates Parks sandybeachfront restored

[email protected]

After 60 years of slowbut continuous retreat,the District of NorthVancouver is drawing aline in the sand at CatesPark/Whey-ah-Wichen.

The shoreline hasgradually eroded over thedecades, backing up thebeach line by as much asve metres, according toDistrict of NorthVancouverparks manager SusanRogers.

The beach is sortof dead.The sand andall of this actually helpsto nurture it, Rogersexplained.

Work crews droppedpiles of sand and gravelon the shoreline earlierthis month as part of an$80,000 project designedto halt the erosion causedby wind and waves, andpossibly exacerbated byglobal climate change.

The weight of the newbarrier should prevent

signicant erosion,according to Rogers.

Erecting a wall of stoneswas considered and rejected,according to Rogers, whosaid a riprap solution would

sink the spots popularityand lead to an unusablebeach in the long term.

Work was carried outin early September to takeadvantage of the low tideduring the day.

The work was vital toretain the sandy beach andto preserve a historical site.

With this loss of

the shoreline is a loss ofa tremendous culturalresource, Rogers said,discussing theTsleil-Waututh nations longhistory with the land.

Small amounts of sandand gravel will need tobe added every 10 yearsto replenish the beach,according to Rogers.

Ensure youre secure online

You should learn one thingfrom the recent infamoushacking of celebrityaccounts for nude pictures:a password, howeverstrong or complicated,is not enough to protectyour email, Facebook andTwitter accounts.

The dozens of actresses,musicians and modelswhose Apple iCloud andother online accounts werehacked last week all hadpasswords.Yet their mostintimate moments weretossed about online for allto see after their accountswere hacked.Whether bybrute force calculations orfraud, someone guessedtheir passwords.What couldthey have done differently?Security experts advise usingsomething called two-factorauthentication. Its a bitcomplicated to set up andwill make your online lifemore annoying since anyextra security necessarilysacrices convenience. But itcould save you grief.

If youre not a celebrity,the chances of being hackedby an anonymous pranksteror stalker are admittedly tiny.But someone you know, anex-spouse, alienated relativeor disgruntled colleague,might be targeting youonline, especially if they havea good chance at guessingyour passwords or, just asbad, the security questionsneeded to change your

passwords. Do you wantyour ex taking over yourTwitter account becausethey know you use yourdogs name as a password?Probably not. (Tip: dontuse your dogs name as apassword).

Two-factor support isenabled on a wide range ofonline services, includingGoogle,Microsoft,Apple,Twitter and Facebook. Invery simple terms, it worksby pairing something thatyou know, usually youronline user name andpassword, with somethingthat you possess, often asmartphone, and requiringthat both be present whenyou log in to an onlineaccount for the rst time ona new computer or device.

Lets say you enable two-factor authentication on yourTwitter account.You do soby logging into your account,going into settings, andgivingTwitter the number

of your smartphone. Everytime you log into twitter.com, your phone will receivea text message containing acode you will also need toenter to complete the log-in.(Apps already installed onyour existing devices willwork without needing anadditional code).The samegoes for an attempt to loginto yourTwitter accountfrom a new computer ordevice. Even if your exguesses your canine-basedpassword, they wont beable to log into your accounton their computer orsmartphone without havingdirect access to the phonelinked to your account.(Bonus tip: keep your phonein sight and protect it

with a PIN).There are tradeoffs.

Entering an additionalcode texted to you everytime you log intoTwitteron the web can get tedious.After enabling two-factoron a Google or Microsoftaccount, you might need toenter a code texted to yourphone each time you login with a new machine ordevice or the rst time youlog in with your existingdevices. I had to do that evenwith my Xbox 360.

You also mightnd yourself needingauthentication but cantget a conrmation textbecause youre not incellphone service range orare travelling abroad and not

using your phone to avoidcostly roaming fees.As a wayaround that, both GoogleandMicrosoft provideauthenticator apps that youcan install on your phoneor tablet. Once paired withyour account, the apps willgenerate a code every 30seconds as needed that canbe used as authentication.They will work even whenofine.Twitter allows youto use its iOS andAndroidapps to provide the samefunction.

For extra convenience,depending on the service,you can remove a primarymachine for example,a home PC only you have

According to theCanadian ForestryAssociation (CFA), Sept.21-27 is National ForestWeek.

Originally namedForest Fire PreventionWeek in 1920, theconcept was developedto raise awareness aboutthe impact of human-caused forest res on theCanadian economy andsociety.

In 1967 the event wasrenamed National ForestWeek by the CFA, to

encompass the manyand varied human andenvironmental aspects ofCanadas forest resources past, present andfuture, according to itswebsite, canadianforestry.com.

On March 2, 2011,Canadas House ofCommons approved aprivate members motionby MP Royal Galipeau todeclare theWednesday ofNational ForestWeek tobe National Tree Day.Thisyear, National Tree Day

will take place on Sept.24. One of the primaryevents for the associationthis year will be the 11thCanadian Urban ForestConference inVictoriafrom Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.

The CFA promotesthose events to,encourage Canadiansto learn more aboutCanadas forest heritageand to raise awarenessabout this valuable andrenewable resource.Forests are fundamentalto our economy, culture,traditions and history and to our future.Communities, familiesand individuals depend onforests for their livelihoodand way of life, accordingto its website.

National Tree Day ispromoted throughTreeCanada (treecanada.ca) with several eventsplanned across thecountry.Tree Canadands nancial supportthrough more than 50different corporationsand individuals.Tree

Canada has planted morethan 80 million trees andgreened 550 schoolyardsacross Canada since itsinception.Thats quitean accomplishment fora group that does notpublicize itself very well.

Among the mostnoteworthy of corporatesponsors of National TreeDay is theTD Friendsof the EnvironmentFoundation (fef.td.com).I have spoken of theTDFriends before in thiscolumn, and I do not workfor the bank. However,consider this fact: Since1990,TD Friends of theEnvironment Foundationhas provided $60 millionin funding to more than20,000 community-basedenvironmental projects inCanada.

Worthy work likethat needs recognition.Yes, I know there areother worthy communitypartners but they donot put their moneywhere their ideology is,not nearly as well as theTD Friends do. Besidesconsistently fundinggreen projects since the1990s,TD covers theadministrative cost of theirfoundation, which theyclaim, allows 100 per centof the money raised to godirectly to programs.

In the past 10 yearsI have spoken manytimes of the benets thattrees provide to people.

The benets are real,scientically proven andnancially valued but notwidely understood. Forexample when it rains,trees, especially coniferslike cedar, hemlockand r, absorb andslow down the rainfallspercolation into the soiland municipal storm sewersystems.This ongoingbenet has been poorlymisunderstood for manyyears by homeownersand municipal engineers.Slowly things are changingthough and street treeplanting, streamside orriparian area planting and

highway roadside plantingof trees has becomecommon to take advantageof such benets. Not tomention the many otherclimate maintenance andbeautication benets thattrees afford.

Another interestingadvantage to growingtrees is the beauty benetthat improves with age.My smartphone lastedtwo and a half yearsbefore dying.The tree Iplanted in my front yardto block one particularview of the park acrossthe street, was plantedin 1994 and its beautybenet has signicantlyimproved while providing

privacy. And all I had todo was water each yearduring summer drought.The tree, or she as Icall our Japanese cedar(Cryptomeria japonica),was planted at three feettall from a cutting.Thetree is now 10 feet tallerthan the roof peak on myhouse. She is stunningto look at all year andher exotic foliage makesa noteworthy specimenin my neighbourhood. Isee people from time totime stop in front of ourhouse to touch her foliagethat hangs just out tothe road edge.The looks

Barb LunterHome Ideas

There aremany ways toadd decorative air toyour dinner table.

Its not always necessaryto invest in expensivecandleholders when you canput together a few prettyvotives with relative easeusing craft supplies.

Creative supplies canbe found everywhere fromyour local craft outlet toneighbourhood dollar stores.

Be sure to check out thepaper section of craft storessuch as Michaels as youwill be amazed at what yound. Everything from glitterpaper, vellum and pre-punched decorative papersmay be found in their verylarge paper section.

I found these fantasticpre-punched papers for $4per sheet in a few differentcolours and textures.Two

sheets were enough toassemble two medium-sizeand two small votives.

Be sure to save any smallcylinder vases that may havebeen given to you as a owerarrangement. If you donthave any on hand then aquick visit to the dollar storewill solve the problem.Thesecylinders are available inmany different heights andsizes. Choose one to two

different heights to intermixon your table.

Measure the pre-punchedpaper to t the cylinder andcarefully cut off the bottomedge. Secure along the cutedge of the paper with clear

scotch tape. Repeat with theremaining cylinders.

Place a small votivecandle or pillar candle insideeach cylinder and place onyour dining table.

on their faces when theytouch the spiking foliageis another beauty benetthat I reap. I have neverpruned much except anoccasional branch. Shehas no pest or diseaseproblems and producescool little cones to use fordecoration.We love her somuch we planted anothertree, Cryptomeria japonica,Sekkan Sugi, right next toher so she would not belonely.Together the cedarsisters adorn our property

and the neighbourhood.Animals live in both

trees from time to time,bees make occasional nestsand birds sing me awakeon summer mornings fromtheir perches up high inthe sisters. It is hard to puta monetary value on all ofthose beauty benets and Idont care to, it is a matterof good karma.
