Just days after markingthe 70th anniversaryof D-Day, North Shorebranches of the RoyalCanadian Legion weredismayed to see one ofNorthVancouvers mostprominent cenotaphsdefaced.

A member of LynnValleys 114 branchnoticed the markings mainly scribbles and whatappears to be a scorecardmade in childrenssidewalk chalk drawn

onto the cenotaph inVictoria Park on Saturdayand alerted her branchpresident.

Even though themarkings were apparentlymade by children andeasily washed away, it isstill unacceptable, saidRhondaThomas, presidentof NorthVancouverLegion 118.

Where were theparents? And why wouldyou let your kids do thatin the rst place? I dontunderstand.Thats amonument.Thats forveterans for goodness

sakes. Its not for playingaround by children,Thomas said. It shouldntbe defaced in any wayshape or form by anybody.Whoever did this shouldtake responsibility andcome up and say theymade a mistake.

City of NorthVancouver staff cleanedthe memorial off onTuesday morning.

Seeing any memorialdefaced cuts to thebone, said Bill Calder,LynnValley Legion 114president

Its very demoralizing

to us, Calder said.Legions are a promoterof remembrance and wework very hard to keepthat in the forefront.Particularly, on Nov. 11but all year round thereare different events thattake place that promoteremembrance and we liketo ensure our memorialsreect the dignity theydeserve.

The incidentunderscores a failureby parents to teachtheir children about thesacrices that cenotaphsrepresent, according

to Calder.Even children who

have a lack of knowledge,they have parents.Theyshould be teaching themwhat the importance andvalue of those monumentsare to those that havegiven us a life we seem toenjoy and take, too often,for granted, he said.

The recent passing ofthe 70th anniversary of theinvasion of Normandymakes the chalk all themore disrespectful.

If anybody neededa memory jog, that wascertainly it, Calder said.

Logging onGambier opposed

JANE [email protected]

A group of North Shoreresidents with summercottages on GambierIsland are raisingconcerns about plansto log a large swath offorest they say could ruinrecreational values onthe island.

Its the wildernessheart of Howe Sound, anda prime recreational jewel,

said Peter Scholeeld,aWestVancouverresident and presidentof the Gambier IslandConservancy, a groupopposed to the logging.

Scholeelds is one ofseveral hundred familieswho make up the majorityof Gambier Islands part-time residents, most ofwhom are from North andWestVancouver.

Many of them havebeen coming to the island

for generations to enjoy itsbeaches, hiking trails andlakes.

Scholeeld saidresidents were shockedwhen they learned byaccident this spring thatthe Ministry of Forestswas putting two large areasin the northeast cornerof the island up for bid asCrown woodlots.The twowoodlots include areasof popular hiking trails,a community watershed,patches of old growthforest and Gambier Lake,a prime recreationaldestination on the island.

Why they would

put in a woodlot thatencompasses that lakeis beyond me, saidScholeeld.

The area is close to achildrens summer campand to outstations of theBurrard andThunderbirdyacht clubs.

Combined with anexisting woodlot, if the newwoodlots are approved,it would see 25 per centof the island under activelogging, said Scholeeld.The two new woodlots,which would be side byside, total 1,326 hectares,while the current woodlotis 400 hectares.

Thats too much fora sensitive island, saidScholeeld.

We want to see theland preserved.

According to theMinistry of Forests, thewoodlots are intended tobe small-scale forestryoperations, often run bylocal residents under a20-year lease and havelimits on how much timbercan be logged each year.According to the ministry,the annual combined cutin the two woodlots wouldbe 6,000 cubic metres.

Gavel to fallThe trials ofTrinityWesternUniversity are a reminder of theimportance and dangers of religiousfreedom.TWUs law school dangles in limbo at

press time as thousands of B.C. lawyerscast votes on the programs accreditation.Legally, the decision may hinge on a

2001 B.C. Supreme Court Case in whichTWUs teacher training program woncertication despite objections over theschools famed covenant.That covenant, binding both students

and staff, forbids sex outside marriage anddenes marriage as a sacred relationshipbetween man and woman.After the Law Society of Upper

Canada in Ontario voted againstTWUsaccreditation, essentially barring gradsfrom practising in Ontario, the school shotback.Representatives argued that highly

qualied graduates would be excluded simply for holding religious values.

This argument would be moreconvincing if the school hadnt kibosheda lmmaking course solely becauseprospective and very qualied instructor Kevin Miller doesnt believe inhell. Or to be more accurate, he doesntbelieve in their version of hell.TWUs supporters have also trumpeted

the importance of pluralism, accepting amultitude of views.This also rings false.WouldTWUs concept of pluralism

include sharia law, despite its encroachmenton womens rights?Religious freedom is an important value,

but its not our only value, particularlywhen it infringes on the rights of others.We believe love between consenting adultsis more important than the right to restrictlove between consenting adults.We hope B.C.s attorneys make an ethical

choice, because there are two things thisprovince doesnt need more of: lawyers andintolerance.

Parent support for teachers heartfeltDear Editor:

I am a teacher inWestVancouver whois frustrated about thecurrent situation in B.C.education. I dont enjoywalking the picket line, andI wish there was anotherway to ensure adequategovernment funding to ourschool boards.

It is frustrating that thesenior members of ourgovernment and our unioncant reach a compromise.Our educational leadersshould be setting anexample of how tocollaborate on governingand delivering a systemworthy of our multilingual,multi-talented children.Canada is a leader in 21stcentury education, but ourleaders cant agree on howto best serve our clients.

Even though our

governments actions(stripping the contractsthat protected class sizelimits) have been deemedunconstitutional, we arestill living under theirrules.We need to bargainjust to get back to wherewe were 12 years ago.Most teachers I know arewilling to strike becausewe believe it is the onlyway to ensure classes thatare too large, or have toomany designated studentswill be brought back tomanageable numbers.

One positive outcomeof this strike has beenthe support of ourparent community andschool neighbourhoods.It is heartening to havearticulate, meaningfulconversations with parentsand colleagues aboutwhat they think is best for

students. It is upliftingto be greeted by friendlywaves and tooting hornswhen cars drive by ourpicket lines. Several timesduring our shifts, parentshave brought coffee,mufns, cookies and rolls,along with passionateaccolades for our efforts

in speaking up for publiceducation.

I also appreciate thereections of intelligentjournalists, such as KeithBaldrey (May 30 NorthShore News column),who are painting a multi-layered picture of thisissue, referring to the

mistrust and disrespectbetween the ministry andthe BCTF as cause for theimpasse.

Perhaps it is time fora professional (neutral)mediator to take the leadat the bargaining table.Doni GrattonWestVancouver

Dear Editor:Tired of Christy Clarks

smiling face?Well, heres areason you should be.

I discovered today thatthe basic grant for city taxesor threshold in 2013 was$1,295,000.This years2014 threshold has beenreduced to $1,100,000.That means that if yourproperty is valued at

$1,214,000 you do notqualify, My assessed valuejust so happens to have beenreduced to $1,214,000 soI do not qualify. Last year Ireceived the total grant, thisyear nothing.

I wonder how manyother homeowners willfall into this $1,214,000range? On the North Shoreits probably the majority.

Should be interesting tond out. So thats how theChristy Clark government isgoing to balance the budget,not from brilliant budgetmanipulation, but off thebacks of thousands ofhomeowners who are goingto pay on July 2 and dontrealize it yet.HowardWhishawWestVancouver

GiantMine story a toxic cautionary taleThe GiantYellowknife GoldMine began production inthe 1940s in a region that isunusually rich in gold-bearingrock.Unfortunately, that rockalso contains high levels of anaturally-occurring variationof arsenic arsenic trioxide.

Norm Zigarlick,April 2014

Most of the stories NormZigarlick has toldmeare exactly as onemightexpect from someonewho has worked inundergroundmines, as abush pilot and on the landwithmany First Nationspeople.

A fascinating blend of alifetime of experiences andcampre tales that growtaller with each telling, mostare colourful threads thatmake up the tapestry ofCanadas Far North.

But the history of a 60-year accumulation of toxinsabandoned by a successionof owners at the GiantYellowknife Gold Mine isdeadly serious.

It is a tale the Dene FirstNations wish had neverhappened in the region theyand their ancestors havecalled home for centuries.

Starkly undressed, this isa story about one countrysaccumulation of a toxin inlarge enough proportions tocontaminate the 10th largestlake in the world.

The country is Canada.The toxin is arsenic trioxide a byproduct of the Giantgold-mining operationsjust a stones throw fromtwo of the largest Denecommunities.The lake is

Great Slave Lake and itsentire river system.

The bottom line of thisstory, however, is less abouthow the toxin came to bethere, than to ask whenCanadas federal governmentwill grasp the nettle toensure that a 237,000-tonnedump can safely be defusedor eliminated and preventedfrom ever happening again.

The stage was set in1935 when, according to thehistorical timeline detailedby Aboriginal Affairs andNorthern DevelopmentCanada (aandc-aandc.gc.ca), BurwashYellowknife

Mines Ltd. staked 21 miningclaims, including the futureGiant Mine.

The pace accelerated twoyears later whenYKGoldMines Ltd., acquired theBurwash assets. But it wasnot until 1948 when the rstgold bar was poured andmine tailings were dumpedinto nearby Back Bay, thatthe disturbing story wasborn.

All told, between 1935and today, the saga onlypartially covered by theofcial timeline detailspoisoned drinking water,community health problems

and contamination of soiland onsite buildings.

Toxic airborne emissionswere recorded at 7,500kilograms/day and arsenictrioxide dust was pumpedinto underground storagechambers in the hopethat permafrost wouldcontain it. Corporatetakeovers, receiverships andgovernment-to-governmenttransfers of jurisdictionalmanagement, regulationsand liabilities were the orderof the day.

There is no doubt thatthe Canada we enjoy todaywas built largely by the

mining, forestry and otherresource industries.

But the history of theGiantYellowknife Mine isa blueprint that shows whypeople today have suchlitle trust that corporationswill put citizens well-beingahead of shareholdersprots, or that governmentregulators will protect thebest interests of Canadiansand their environment.

Environment Canada,the government of theNorthwestTerritories andthe City ofYellowknifeco-hosted a technicalworkshop to discuss themanagement of arsenictrioxide at Giant Mine.

But it was not until 2000,when SRK Consulting wasnamed technical advisor toAboriginal Affairs, that onesenses federal agencies hadawakened to the seriousnessof the situation.

Four years later,Aboriginal Affairs decidedto proceed with theFrozen Block Method asthe preferred long-term

management alternative forstorage of arsenic trioxidedust.

Yet even then, it wouldtake nine years beforethe 245-page, June 2013decision of the MackenzieValley EnvironmentalImpact Review Boardwas released, which statedin part, it is the boardsopinion that the proposedGiant Mine RemediationProject is likely to causesignicant adverse impactson the environment,including [those] arisingfrom the effects of pastactivities.

The report then proposednine measures aimed atmitigating those effects and

ended by recommending theproject be approved subjectto those measures beingimplemented.

As this column windsdown, concern is still beingexpressed that relying onpermafrost and man-madecoolant devices for 100years may not be enough toprevent the highly-solublearsenic trioxide fromleaching into and poisoningGreat Slave Lake and othernatural watercourses thatsurround the mine-site.

After 60 years andmillions spent oncommittees, studiesand 300-page technicalconsulting advice, it isdisturbing that neither

Aboriginal Affairs andNorthern DevelopmentCanadaMinister BernardValcourt nor the federalgovernment have signed offon the $1-billion MackenzieValley clean-up plan for theGiant Mine legacy.

Zigarlick believes that,according to currenthealth standards, at 60 percent purity there is enougharsenic trioxide in that pileto kill the population of theplanet many times over.

PrimeMinister Harperand his minister have thescience on their desks the Dene and Canadiantaxpayers are asking, Whythe delay?

Your letter was so fullof vitriol, arrogance andunfounded entitlement.Youobviously dont understandthe concept of protest art.

It got into the news,people started looking intothe issues, and it drawsheat on the people involved it worked perfectly! Ifit werent for people like

Rammell who are willing tostick their necks out, thenthe world would be in muchworse shape.

Like a cassette playerevolving into an iPod, theprovincial governments1980s-era ski resort policyis getting an update.

Ski resorts nestledin public parks suchas Cypress and MountSeymour, as well asManning Park, are inneed of new permits thataccount for the burgeoningpopularity of snowshoeingand mountain biking as wellas the public appetite foryear-round use, accordingto a release from theMinistry of Environment.

The province sold theresorts to private interestsin 1984, and subsequentlyissued 50-year permitsthat failed to anticipateboth changes in climateand the need for frequentinfrastructure investments.Resort operators also cantapply to extend their permituntil 40 years have elapsed,creating uncertaintyabout the chances ofrecouping investments ininfrastructure, according tothe ministry.

The new permits areintended help the ski resortsremain viable businesseswhile developing a land usepolicy that values both theenvironment and recreation.

The decision to approve

a ski resort developmentplan will stay with BCParks.

Skiers, snowshoers, andlovers of the outdoors areinvited to offer their twocents on the new policy.The province is also lookingfor input from First Nationsand tourism groups.

Comments to theMinistry of Environmentshould be made on orbefore June 29.To makeyour comments, visit env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/permits/consultation/ski-hill-policy.html.

The new policy is slatedto be unveiled before theend of 2014.

District staff estimatethe two new woodlotswould provide betweenfour and ve jobs, saidministry spokesman GreigBethel.

Six bids were receivedon each of the woodlots,ranging from a low of$100,000 to a high of$488,000.

Bethel said anysuccessful bidder mustcomplete a managementplan, which is madeavailable for public reviewand addresses issues likemanagement of watershed,riparian areas andrecreation areas.

But islanders say theyhave little condence inthat process, and arenthappy that they werentconsulted before theministry advertised the twonew woodlots.

I think they need

to hold off until theyveproperly evaluated it,said Peter Snell, a NorthVancouver resident whosefamily owns a cottage nearthe proposed woodlots onthe north end of Gambier.

Snell said the plan forthe logging has ignored theimpact on the island.

This is one of the lastremaining wilderness areasclose toVancouver, hesaid.

He added theres noguarantee about how muchtimber would be taken outeach year, because woodlotoperators have exibilityas long as the annual cutaverages out over veyears.

Were not againstforestry or economicdevelopment of regions,he said but you haveto take into account animpact on an ecosystem.

Recently someGambier residents metwith Ministry of Forestsofcials along with political

representatives includingWestVancouver Sea-to-SkyMLA Jordan Sturdy todiscuss concerns.

Kate-Louise Stamford,the island trustee forGambier, said most peopleon the island would preferto see the area preservedfor wilderness conservation or at least see thewoodlots signicantlyreduced in size.

While between 100and 200 people are full-time Gambier residents including the loggerwho operates the existingwoodlot about 85per cent of islanders arecottagers, said Stamford,who dont want to see itsbeauty destroyed.

I recognize that werepart of B.C. and B.C. haslogging as a resource,she said. We do havea woodlot on our littleisland.

But with the addition ofthe new woodlots, its toobig, too much, she said.

He got away with$1,200.

He did the same atSuperValu in Edgemont onApril 14, 2012, telling theclerk, Dont make a fussor Ill shoot you.

One of the moredramatic holdupshappened at theQueensdale Market onLonsdale Avenue wherea store manager grabbedone of Stones wrists andwrestled with him afterbeing threatened withthe gun.The managerpunched Stone in the faceseveral times before Stonehit him in the head withthe gun and ran away.Themanager required ninestitches to his head.

Stones biggest haulcame after he went behindthe customer servicedesk at Extra Foods onVancouvers Kerr Street

and pointed a handgunat the clerk, saying Takeme to where youve gotthe money.That time hemade off with $13,000.

Stone also robbedan IGA inVancouverand a Choices Marketin Burnaby before hisrobbery spree ended.

After police in theLower Mainland appealedfor help from the public,they got a tip pointingto Stone.Two days afterpolice appealed forinformation, on Dec.15, 2012, Stone tried tocross the border in a taxiand was arrested by U.S.authorities. He later agreedto be brought back toCanada.

Herron told the courtthe handgun used inthe robberies was neverrecovered. Nobody knewif it was real or not, shesaid. The victims thoughtit was real.

Before receiving hissentence, Stone stood up

and spoke to the judge.He said he decided tocommit the robberies aftersuffering severe nancialsetbacks in his late 60s. Ihad no savings. I was stilldeeply in debt, he said.

Stone said he tried torationalize the robberies,by thinking he was robbingfrom companies, notterrorizing people.

I knew it was wrong,he said. Many goodpeople were victimized inways they didnt deserve.

Stones defence lawyerdescribed the holdups asan act of desperation.

Stone has no previousrecord.

In sentencing Stone,NorthVancouverprovincial court judgeSteven Merrick said Stonewould be facing ve yearsin jail if he hadnt been incustody for a signicanttime already.

He is expected to besent back to the U.S. afterhe serves his sentence.

Each year rovingapiculturists truckmillionsof bees around NorthAmerica from farm tofarm providing bees topollinate crops.

Whether we realize it ornot, humanity is dependanton the tireless pollinationwork that bees provide inagriculture.Without bees, wemay not have strawberries,almonds, apples and manyother fruits and vegetablesto eat.

Starting from two hivesthat arrived in 1858, B.C.now has more than 2,300beekeepers, 47,000 coloniesand approximately twomillion bees. Bee pollinationaccounts for $250 millionof fruit, berry and canolaproduction in B.C. and$1.5 billion of agriculturalproduction in Canada. B.C.also annually produces $10million of honey in differentavours as well as other hiveproducts. Interestingly,May29 was declared Day of theHoney Bee by B.C.Ministerof Agriculture Norm Letnickto celebrate our beekeepingheritage, according to theB.C.Ministry of Agriculturewebsite, gov.bc.ca/agri.

Over the past decadethere have been numerousstories in the news aboutbee colony collapse disorder,Varroa mite attacks onbees, pesticide kills of entirecolonies and the gradualloss of millions of beesaround the world. I am notgoing to go into the detailsof those problems that Ibelieve are directly related towidespread pesticide use inagriculture and horticulture.If you want detailedinformation on the problem

I recommend you visit theTED website and watchthe insightful presentationsof two leading scientistsinvolved in bee research.The rst presentationis calledWhy bees aredisappearing, by Dr.MarlaSpivak from the Universityof Minnesota.The secondpresentation,A plea forbees, is given by DennisVanengelsdorp, assistantprofessor of entomology atthe University of Maryland.Each presentation is 15minutes long and providesinsightful and science-based discussions of theproblems surroundingthe ongoing death of beecolonies. Local bee keepinginformation can be foundat northshorebeekeepingclub.weebly.com.You can also visitthe B.C.Honey ProducersAssociation website atbcbeekeepers.com for moreinformation.

Politicians who carelesslylegalize pesticide use andchemical companies thatmanufacture pesticidesare directly responsible forthe worldwide death ofmillions of bees despite thechorus of voices soundingalarm bells.A case in point,

the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency wasembarrassed in 2010 over aleaked document showingthe agency gave conditionalapproval of an insecticide,despite warnings from theagencys own scientiststhat the chemical was toxicto bees.The chemicalmanufacturer lobbied forregistration of the chemical.I did not mention thecompany name becausesuing people is how chemicalcompanies stie oppositionto their selling of poison.Youmay think such problemsonly happen in America butany pesticide registered inthe United States is almostalways given approval inCanada, because Canadais considered by chemicalcompanies to be the 51ststate when it comes topesticide registration.

It is people who buypesticides that drive upearnings for chemicalcompanies. If we exerciseour choice not to buy, thenharmful products will not bemanufactured. So if you likeeating apples or tomatoesand think bees are importantto our food security, hereare some practises you canimplement at home to helpbees survive.Provide diverse food

sources: Bees need to feedevery day so there mustbe an abundance of foodavailable to sustain them.Plant annuals, perennials,owering shrubs and treesto bloom at different timesof the year to provideongoing food sources. Itis more important to have

In my last column Inoted how the arrival ofGoogles online musicstore in Canada signalledthe growth of GooglePlay as a viable iTunes

competitor in Canada.As soon as I put that

column to bed, Googleexpanded its digitalofferings again in Canadaby adding television

program purchases toGoogle Plays video store.

That means Canadians,starved for consumerchoice in onlineentertainment compared toAmericans, can get movies,TV, music, books andnewspapers from Google.That means Canada now

has three main competitorsfor comprehensive digital-based entertainment:Apple, Google andMicrosoft.

Apple of our eyeApple remains in the

lead for content. iTunesoffers music, movies,TVand books and iPhonesand iPads can access auniverse of news apps.Looking specically atTV,the market which Googlejust entered, iTunes has alarger selection than eitherGoogle Play or MicrosoftsXboxVideo store. Itsselections are nicely laidout and curated. Prices aremarket standard.

iTunes music offeringsare excellent but iTunesdoes not offer a streamingsubscription service yet inCanada as it does in theUnited States. I dont haveany experience with itsebooks, but the selectionlooks reasonable.

Google Play, whichwas nonexistent onlya few years ago, is insolid second place forCanadians. Its videoofferings are not asextensive as iTunes butit has all the mainstreamreleases, good prices andcuration is on level withApple.

Its music store looksvery good, with goodpricing, and offers asubscription streamingmusic service for $10 amonth, or $8 a month ifyou sign up before the endof June, with a reported

access to 25 million songs.Its Newsstand is a

standalone platformcombining newspapersand magazines in onecentral app, which somepeople might prefer toindividual apps for theirnews reading. Ive usedGoogles books platformon Android and like it,although I prefer my Kobofor reading.

Microsoft takes thirdplace for content. Its movieselections are comparableto Google Play, but as withGoogle itsTV selectionslag behind iTunes. Its oncestupidly high prices forvideos have been loweredto be in line with iTunes (alesson that competition isimportant).

Microsoft has no ebooksplatform and no equivalentto Newsstand, althoughWindows 8 devices, fromcomputers to phones, havewell-designed apps fornews, travel, health andfood all curated, drawnfrom various sources andfree.

Where Microsoft excels

in Canada is its XboxMusic store, which offersa $10 a month musicstreaming service with thesame claim to 25 millionsongs. Im a subscriber.

Playing with GoogleFew people are purist

in their choices andmost households freelymix and match servicesand devices. Given thedominant market share ofWindows computers, itslikely most iPad or iPhoneusers have aWindows PC.Theres a fair chance theyhave an Android phone.And instead of Apple,Microsoft or Google, theyget their music from Rdio,Slacker or Songza. Or theyuse all of these sources atdifferent times, which isthe way it should be.

That means aside fromcontent, the consumer-friendly provider isavailable across as manydevices and platformsas possible and hereGoogle takes the prize. Itsvideo, music and booksapps are found on bothAndroid and iPhone andiPad and available to PCand Mac users throughthe web. Apple, whichmakes money by gettingconsumers to buy devices,limits content to Appledevices and iTunes on PCand Mac. (The exceptionis music downloads, whichcan be played anywhere.)Even Microsoft, lagging incontent, is working hard to

something blooming versuschoosing only specic bee-friendly plants. However, ifspecicity is your thing, tryplanting foxgloves, rhodos,poppies, chives and daisiesto name a few. Interestingly,dandelions bloom early

and continuously so theyare a good food source forbees.To prevent dandelionsfrom spreading, regularlydeadhead them like anyother perennial.Supply a water source:

Bees need clean water todrink.The water does nothave to be deep, so an oak

barrel, pottery basin or evena shallow pond can provideenough water. Rain waterharvesting is a good way toprovide water for benecialinsects and bees.Stop using all

a home: I know thisis a difcult concept toimplement in a residentialsetting. However, no home no bees.Tolerance isimportant for this practiceto work.

PARENTING

What sort of parent areyou? Helicopter, bubble-wrap, tiger, dolphin orboss?

These are only a fewof the designations beingplaced on parents thesedays and not only that, tiger,dolphin and boss parentsare the subjects of currentparenting books.

In the interest of fulldisclosure, I have writtenthree parenting booksand none of them usesa metaphor to describeparenting.My focus issimply on helping parentsdevelop the skills andunderstanding to allowthem to raise capable youngmen and women. Period.

The Tiger Mom isthe recent book that hasreceived the most notice.Based on the book,BattleHymn of theTiger Mother byAmy Chua, it is the storyof one Chinese mom andher two daughters and herexperiences.

She says that the childrenof tiger moms are notallowed to: attend sleepovers have play dates be in a school play complain about not beingin a school play watchTV or playcomputer games choose their ownextracurricular activities get any grade less thanan A

not be the No. 1 studentin every subject except gymand drama play any instrument otherthan the piano or violin and must play the pianoor violin

And that, I wouldguess, is as far as mostpeople got in the book. Shebelieved that being a tigermom would be best forher children. She not onlyfollowed the above rules,she was actively involvedin every aspect of the kidslives and pushed them to bethe very best. And they werethe very best.

And it worked until hersecond daughter rebelledand refused to play by therules.

This book is reallyabout a mom learning howto listen to her childrenand support them in theirpassions.

But lets face it, it alsoput the term tiger mom on

the map.And that led to the book

The DolphinWay:A ParentsGuide to Raising Healthy,Happy, and Motivated KidsWithoutTurning Into aTiger by Shimi K. Kang,M.D.

Kang uses her experienceas a mom as well as herprofession as a psychiatristin this book.

In simple terms,this book is all aboutmaintaining a healthybalance in your life and thelives of your children. Sheuses the metaphor of thedolphin throughout andpresents a healthy parentingstyle.

She acknowledges thatthere is a lot of pressure onparents to push childrento succeed. She points out,for example, that BabyEinstein videos were toutedas essential for babies.The irony is that they mayhave done more harm thangood. One study that shementions shows that infantswho watched the videoslearned seven fewer words aday than those who did notwatch the videos. She notesthat parents are tending toover-schedule their children,over-protect them andpushing them to win.

But dolphins arebalanced in their lives andactivities.

Because of this, dolphinparenting can take parents

off the hook for being toobusy and too involved.Everyone wins.

And then there is thecorporate model.What if welooked to the workplace tomodel raising our children?Kathy Buckworth didjust that with the book IAm SoThe Boss OfYou:An8-Step Guide to GivingYourFamily the Business. It wasan interesting take but Ifound the book to have anunderlying nastiness. Shementions, more than once,that she unfortunately cantre her kids. I think she seesthat as humour. I didnt.

The point is that wedont need metaphors.Weneed to raise our children tobecome capable young menand women.

As Dr. Kang saysthroughout The DolphinWay, its all about balance.

In my view, when wehave a parenting plan thatmakes sense and whenwe give our childrenunconditional love, livein a mutually respectfulenvironment and encourageour kids, we will all behealthier and happier.

This zoning amendment would allow for public open space and Commercial, Waterfront, Marine and Civic uses (including aproposed gallery and accessory banquet use). The proposed zoning designation would limit the building height on the site to amaximum of 15 metres (49.2 feet).

The proposed amendment to Heritage Designation Bylaw, 1997, No. 6945 would result in the continued protection of thePacic Great Eastern Railway Station building, but would no longer specify the Foot of Lonsdale as a Designated HeritageProperty, in order to allow for the possible relocation of the building to an alternative site.
