New trial for savage beating case

[email protected]

The B.C.Court ofAppeal has overturnedan aggravated assaultconviction and ordereda new trial in the case ofaman found guilty of aviolent beating tied to amarijuana grow-op on theNorth Shore.

Paul Defaveri, 52, wasfound guilty in September

2012 of violently beating68-year-old Ron Perry ina rented home in NorthVancouver, leaving Perrywith permanent injuries.

He was savagelybeaten, bound, blindfoldedand robbed. His eyes weregouged. His blood wasspread on the walls ofthe living room and theadjacent hallway, wroteJustice Peter Lowry of theB.C. Court of Appeal in

summarizing the case.Lowry wrote that both

sides agreed Perry went tothe house on Philip Avenueto meet with Defaveriand his girlfriend. Perrybelieved the couple wasrunning a grow-op out ofthe basement on behalfof a crime boss and washoping Defaveri and hisgirlfriend could provide anintroduction.

During the trial, Perrydescribed in horric detailhow he was hit on the headfrom behind with a hammerand had his eyes gougedwith someones ngers.

Perry never saw whoattacked him.

Following the attack,he was bound with zapstraps before being stuffedin a vehicle and driven toVancouver, where he wasfound by a passerby. As aresult of the attack, Perrylost one eye and has limitedvision in the other.

Defaveri and a secondman, Robin Pryce, who wereboth living in the home atthe time, were both chargedin the case, which restedon largely circumstantialevidence.

Following a trial inNorthVancouver provincialcourt, Judge StevenMerrick found Pryce notguilty, saying there was not

enough evidence to provebeyond a reasonable doubthe was involved in theattack.

In convicting Defaveri,Merrick pointed to the factDefaveri was home whenthe assault started and to hisngerprint, which was foundin Perrys blood on a doorinside the house.

In weighing Perrystestimony, the original trialjudge considered that Perryhas an extensive criminalrecord and admitted tohaving lied under oath,wrote the appeal courtjustice. In delivering hisverdict, the judge said heaccepted some of Perrys

testimony and not otherparts, but didnt go intodetail.

Defaveris defencelawyer Paul McMurrayargued the trial judge hadnot properly considered thecircumstantial evidence inthe case.

In ordering a new trial,the appeal court justicesagreed the verdict wasunclear concerning whichparts of Perrys testimony thejudge accepted and which herejected.

A date for a new trial hasnot yet been set.

Defaveri has beenreleased on bail pending thenew trial.

The school districtmust also nish payingback an approximately $6-million debt that nancedprevious rebuild projectsof Sutherland secondaryin 2007 andWestviewelementary in 2009.

Local trustees havewritten to the ministry ofeducation and requested a

meeting with senior ofcialsto get the issue hammeredout.

Work on design and

detailed estimates cantstart until the provincegives that agreement.

Realistically, however,

with 18 to 24 monthsrequired to complete adesign and a further twoyears for construction, anew school is at least fouryears away after theprovince approves it.

Earlier this year, schooltrustee Barry Forwardvoiced frustration aboutdelays in getting the projectoff the ground.

Someone enteringGrade 8 (this year) willnever see a new school, hesaid in July.

Forward added thatsince earthquake risk is oneof the compelling reasonsfor the new school, everydelay means another yearwere putting (students) ina substandard facility.

Dear Editor:After watching the Sept. 29 District of NorthVancouver

council meeting and the discussion surrounding thePanorama Drive parking issue, Im compelled to writeabout Coun. Roger Bassams ignorant comments aboutIndian Arm residents who live outside the district boundary.His comments leave me to believe Coun. Bassam thinksresidents who live in Belcarra and MetroVancouver arefree-loading, lazy and only looking for a convenient way toaccess our paradise. I can tell you, living up Indian Armfull time is dangerous and nothing short of hard work.We gohome no matter the weather, seas or time of day.We dontjust go home when its sunny and calm to drink cocktails onour patio, laughing about how we get away with free parking.We go home to chop wood, x docks, maintain boats, collect

water etc.As I said in my address to council during lastMondays meeting, we have explored all options and theonly option we have is Panorama Drive.This isnt aboutavoiding the long way home, this is about safe and feasibleaccess to our home and community.

For Coun. Bassam to suggest this is a case of buyerbeware is also ignorant.When my family moved up IndianArm in 1987 we couldnt foresee this becoming a problem27 years later. No one who lives up the Arm could haveanticipated the district would ostracize our community andcut off our access.

Even if we had another access, wed be forced to moveschools, banks, mail, pharmacies, storage units, recreationmemberships, libraries, doctors, dentists etc. Its notgovernments problem, according to Coun. Bassam, but

with that also goes the after-tax dollars our families spendannually. Is council really naive to the fact that as membersof the North Shore community were spending millions ofdollars in their district?With an estimate of 35-40 IndianArm families, with an average of two taxpaying members perhousehold spending approximately $30,000 per year, IndianArm residents spend about $2.4 million annually. Id like toknow how Deep Cove and North Shore businesses wouldfeel if we took that money and spent it elsewhere.

Now tell me I am a free-loading lazy person who isntpart of your community and just looking for an easy way toaccess my paradise. I invite Coun. Bassam to spend a day inthe life of an Indian Arm resident.Kimberley HarburnNorthVancouver

BydefaultM eet the new bosses, same as theold bosses.District ofWestVancouverMayor Michael Smith and District ofNorthVancouver Mayor RichardWaltonwill both wear the chain of ofce foranother four years after no one in eithercommunity stepped up to challengethem.Perhaps everyone is just that satised

with their mayors work and no one feelsthe need to contest Smith orWalton.Perhaps they have detractors but no onefelt they could beat them at the polls. Ormaybe theyre just the only two peoplewho actually want the job of mayor,which would be a shame. A healthyelection race is good for democracyas a whole and a mayoral race drawsmore people to the polling booth than acouncil race alone.When Smith ran unopposed in 2011,

only 23.7 per cent of eligibleWestVancouver voters cast a ballot, fallingfrom 32.5 per cent in 2008 when therewere four mayoral contenders.Voterturnout in the two NorthVancouvers in2011 actually went up (although it wasstill abysmally low.)This being the case, we have a

challenge for our two acclaimedmayors: Get out and campaign, notfor yourselves but for voter turnoutin general. Knock on every door youwould have if you were running for yourpolitical life, but instead of saying, Votefor me on Nov. 15, you can just shortenyour message to: Vote on Nov. 15.And come to all candidates meetings

to take questions from your constituentsas well.That will be a 2014 campaign legacy

you can be proud of when you areofcially sworn in next month.

District ostracizes Indian Arm residents

Dear Editor:I am a frequent shopper at Park Royal and also a daily

public bus rider.The new Park Royal South shopping centre offers many

exciting opportunities for a more beautiful life.However, while waiting for the bus, there is music being

aired very audibly!

I and many other bus riders frequent the Marine Drivesouth Blue Bus stop to go to work and to other destinations.Musical entertainment is presented throughout the shoppingcentre and inside stores. I am free to shop in a store withmusic or not shop there. But at the bus stop I have no suchchoice.Actually, the music can even be heard at the north-side bus stop onMarine Drive.

Constant trafc noise is rather unavoidable but I ndmusic at the bus stop areas disturbing, annoying andirritating.May I, probably also in the interests of many otherbus riders, ask (Park Royal management) to reconsider airingmusic at the bus stop at Park Royal?Gisela SchindeleWestVancouver

Industry awaitsMount Polley answersThrough research andextensive environmentalmonitoring, Imperial strives forimprovement of both its ownpractices and the practices ofthe mining community.MountPolley develops a comprehensiveenvironmental monitoring planon an annual basis.

imperialmetals.com

So,who wasnt walkingthe talk inAugust whenImperial MetalsMountPolley tailings pondbreached and allowedmillions of cubicmetresof mine wastewater anddebris to cascade intoHazeltine Creek and oninto nearby Quesnel Lake?

Did the breach occurbecause Imperial paidinsufcient attention toearlier engineering cautionsand more recent employeewarnings? Did provincialgovernment inspections failto recognize the portent of aMay 2014 event at the pond?

The entire provincialmining industry wants theanswers due on Jan. 31,when provincially appointedindependent experts areexpected to release theresults of their investigationinto the disaster.

Meantime, onAug. 18,the provincial chief inspectorof mines ordered companiesto conduct a dam safetyinspection of 98 tailingsponds at 60 operatingand closedmines in theprovince to be carried out byan independent, qualied,third-party professionalengineer not associated withthe facility.

Collaterally damagedby these developments,Pacic Booker Minerals wasblindsided by anAug. 19

notice from environmentminister Mary Polak thatshe had suspended theenvironmental assessmentof the companys MorrisonCopper/Gold project.Theministry did so pendingoutcome of the IndependentExpert EngineeringInvestigation and ReviewPanel in relation to thetailings dam breach at theMt. Polley mine.

Pacic Booker Mineralsapplication had been

prepared and signed offby Harvey McLeod, aprofessional engineer theAssociation for MineralExploration BritishColumbia calls a leaderin integrating socio-environmental responsibilitywith the engineered aspectsof tailings and waste rock.

Despite that, andregardless of the fact thatthe B.C. EnvironmentalAssessment Ofce hadconcluded the proposalshowed no signicantadverse effects,Ministerof Energy andMines BillBennett said the action wastaken because panel ndingson the Mount Polley breachmight point to the need fordesign changes before theproject could be approved.

Bennetts reasoning isunderstandable but thetiming could not havebeen worse because thedecision on its much-delayed application had been

completed and was dueout that day.Any additionalrequirements could havebeen accommodated duringthe normal phase of projectdesign.

Or as Booker directorand chief operating ofcerErikTornquist told me lastweek, EACs (environmentalassessment certicates) areconditional certicates thatallow a project to move tothe next step; companies stillneed to have project designsapproved and permits arestill required for every phaseof the project.

Pacic Booker Mineralsis not yet an operatingcompany, so it doesnt havea tailings dam; nor does ithave a detailed tailings-damdesign, since it has not yetbegun the engineering phaseof the project.

According to informationreceived from theministry of environment,Bookers is the only

assessment suspendedpending the outcome ofthe work undertaken bythe Independent ExpertEngineering Investigationand Review Panel.

Before continuing, weshould consider someof the facts presentedin professional servicesrm PwCs 2013 annualreport Digging Deep:Themining industry in BritishColumbia.

In 2013, the industry paidgovernment and governmentagencies $511 million equating to around 27 percent of net earnings and anincrease of $7 million over2012.There were 10,720people working directly inthe industry that year, at anaverage salary and benets of$114,600.

Bennett estimated direct

and indirect jobs at over30,000 and,more recently,the industrys AboriginalMentoring andTrainingAssociation announced ithad just placed its 1,000thgraduate in a well-paid job.

Back to Pacic Booker:The company began the

pre-application explorationand testing stage of theenvironmental assessmentprocess in 2003 andBookers formal dancewith government ministriesbegan in 2005. Since thattime, the music has oftenbeen discordant and thegovernment choreographyhas changed with the winds.

MORRIS FOR MAYORI do not support the approval of the Kinder Morgan PipelineExpansion for the reasons stated below.

The current pipeline was initially built in 1953, which means thesystem is 61 years old. Pipelines, like people, eventually reach aBest-Before-Date. You can have a hip replacement, a transplantor Botox, but eventually the process becomes akin to sewinga silk purse to a sows ear! Replacement of the pipeline willeventually be necessary.

That said, the amount of insurance available from all levels ofgovernment and industry to fund the cleanup of a marine incidentis approximately $1.25B. I understand that Kinder Morgan hasproposed to provide an additional $1.0B of P&I insurance,capping the total AVAILABLE INSURANCE AT $2.25B. Cleanupcosts above this amount would fall on B.C.

In 1989, the Exxon Valdez ran aground. Exxons cleanup costsare estimated at $7.0B in 1989 dollars. It cost the people ofAlaska even more. The financial risks to B.C. are too great.

Craftbeer patio floated for [email protected]

Thirsty travellers maysoon be able to have

more than a taste ofcraft beer when passingthrough Lonsdale Quay.

City of NorthVancouvercouncil has endorsed Green

Leaf Brewing Co.s plan toupgrade its licence and buildan outdoor patio.

Today, the brewery isonly allowed to sell takeaway

bottles and tasting sizedservings to customers. If theprovince gives them the go-ahead to operate as a lounge,staff will be allowed to servetheir micro-brews by thebottle or glass in the brewery,which seats 25, or on theirpatio, which is designed tohold 15 customers.

The city staff reportnotes there is little potentialfor noise disturbances asthere are no residents wholive nearby.As part of thelicensing, Green Leaf willpartner with food vendors atthe quay.

The proposal wonunanimous support fromcouncil.

I think this is agreat idea. I think its anappropriate location for this.I think Green Leaf Brewinghas added quite a bit toLonsdale Quay Market.Theyve put up quite a bit ofinfrastructure and spendingin there. I think one of thegreat limitations is the way inwhich they can actually servetheir customers, said Coun.Craig Keating. I think itwould help to create a sensethat this is a great area to goto where you could enjoya beverage in a safe, cleanenvironment.

PUBLIC HEARINGNOTICE OF


An outdoor patio willcomplement the summerprograms and events the cityputs on at Lonsdale Quay,Coun. Linda Buchananadded.

For Coun. PamBookham, the upgrade to

the brewery represented anupgrade to Lonsdale Quayas a whole.

Theres no question thatthe Lonsdale Quay is in needof some renewal and theresnothing like a new businesswith good energy and youngentrepreneurs to kind of kickstart some of those other

businesses that have beenlanguishing somewhat andcontent to just coast.

I think therestremendous potential atthe quay thats not beingrealized. I hope this willserve as an impetus topositive change down there,she said.

From page 8

Forests, Lands and NaturalResource Operations, soughtthe advice of an outsideconsultant who spent amere two weeks reviewingBookers 17,000-pagecerticate application beforeissuing a negative opinion.

When the provincerefused to issue anenvironmental assessmentcerticate for the proposedMorrison mine project, thecompany launched a B.C.Supreme Court lawsuit onFeb.13, 2013. Reminiscentof more recent courtndings in the teachersdispute, on Dec. 8, 2013B.C. Supreme Court Justice

Kenneth Afeck struckdown the governments Sept.2012 rejection of Bookers$2-billion proposal sayingthe ministers decisionto refuse the certicatefailed to comport with therequirements of proceduralfairness.

In other words, thegovernment had failed todeal in good faith; quellesurprise!

We all were devastatedby the August Mount Polleytailings pond breach. Butthe PwC report shows that,much as we deplore thestrip-it-and-run miningactivities of the 19th andearly 20th centuries, wedbe beyond foolish to suggest

that the mining industry justdisappear and leave us to ourundisturbed environment.

What we should doinstead is demand thatour governments freeof nancial and politicalbias and conicts ofinterest carry out theirresponsibilities to establish,monitor and enforceworkable industry standardsto the nth degree.

If we and they wouldonly do that, the apparentlyavoidable Mount Polleydevastation will mark aturning point to a betterfuture for the miningindustry, in British Columbiaand around the world.

Edgemont eateryTheBakehouse is [email protected]

Things are cooking onEdgemont Boulevardfollowing District of NorthVancouver councils nearunanimousmove Oct. 6 toputThe Bakehouse back inbusiness.

Council previouslyapproved a caf on theEdgemont Commons site atEdgemont Boulevard nearWest Queens Road, but thechange from a 10-seat caf toa 30-seat restaurant troubledCoun.DougMacKay-Dunn.

Im concerned thatthe developer left out somedetails . . . which might havechanged the approval vote,he said.

Councils approval ofthe bigger than advertisedrestaurant might result inother developers employingbackdoor techniques andchanging proposals after thefact, according to MacKay-Dunn.

Despite enjoying theBakehouses food andacknowledging a community

benet,MacKay-Dunnvoted against the project.

Rather than worryingabout zoning changes afterthe fact, council shouldtake a broader view aroundcommercial operations andnot be so restrictive andprescriptive, according toCoun. Roger Bassam.

Perhaps this is a lessonfor us to be a little moreopen with the zoning, hesaid.

Bassam wished theproprietor and customersmany aromatic days at therestaurant.

While he supportedthe proposal, Coun.MikeLittle suggested the districtdevelop safeguards to stopdevelopers from realizinga signicant economicbenet by omitting keydetails from proposal.

If you dont want thecommunity impugning themotives of developers, weneed to nd ways to makesure that there is not asignicant nancial incentiveto falsify a submission, hesaid. I will not go so far asto say that happened here,

but there was evidence thatthey had intended to includea restaurant at variouspoints.

Aside from a few anchortenants, most developers

are unsure which businesseswill end up occupying theirdevelopments, according toCoun.Alan Nixon. Letsnot impugn the motives ofdevelopers, necessarily, for

not having the 100 per centforesight to be able to predictwho all their tenants aregoing to be, he said.

While acknowledgingthe neighbourhood isnt

suffering for lack ofcoffee shops,Nixon saidthe demand speaks to theBakehouses loyal customerbase.

The restaurant closedits location at 1050WestQueens Road.A note onthe restaurants websiteattributed the closure to themunicipalitys high propertytaxes.

Some councillorsexpressed concern aboutparking in the neighbour-hood, but parking problemsin Edgemont are somewhatoverblown and overstated,according to Nixon. I havenever experienced difcultynding parking in Edge-mont, he said.

Located on the groundoor of a three-storeydevelopment, still underconstruction, the restaurantis slated to measure 1,325square feet.The site, whichfeatures banking and retailspaces, will provide 46underground parking stalls.

The restaurant isscheduled to close at 3:30p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m.on weekends.

Ever since I beganteaching horticultureI have beenmentoringselect individualsto become betterprofessionals.

During normal classroomteaching or eld training,mentoring is always partof the teaching process, atleast for me. Classroommentoring lasts the durationof the program and it is onelevel of mentoring. Everyonce in a while I nd aworthy individual who hasthe aptitude, potential andthe passion to design andbuild beautiful gardens.Such a person may benetfrom an ongoing mentorshipthat lasts many years.Asany mentor can tell you,the rewards are fulllingpersonally and benet thelarger industry.

Its not easy to choosewhom to mentor. Sometimesmy selection is basedon an intellectual andemotional connection withthe prospective protg orprotge. I have found thatwithout those connectionsthere is poor synergy. I alsolook for aptitude.You donthave to be a rocket scientistbut you have to have theability to grow and learnto understand complexconcepts. Passion is also an

important virtue to nd insomeone because there aretoo many gardens beinggrown,maintained and builtwith little passion in theprocess.Those gardens areuninspiring.

The reason for mymentorship is simple,my inexplicable desire tohelp others grow. I dontcompletely understand mymotivation nor do I want toanalyze it. I am a defender ofmy faith in the potential ofhorticulture and gardeningto help heal Mother Earth,and mentoring is neededmore than ever to defend thefaith.

I met one of my protgs,whom well call Frema,when he moved into ahouse near me.He hassince moved away but weare still good friends. Ihave worked with him onsome projects and continueto check in on his workfrom time to time.Duringmy recent visit to one ofFremas projects he askedme jokingly to give him a

letter grade for the project.The work involved removalof a small overgrown frontyard, replanting a tree, someperennials and installation ofsome articial turf.

You get a C, I told him.Just a C.

I thought for sure Iwould get a B for usingarticial turf instead of realgrass, he said.

We laughed partly due toan inside joke.

You see, when I metFrema, he only did lawnmowing, some grassinstallation and fall cleanup.

He quickly came tounderstand that turf canbe transformed.Now herenovates gardens, buildssome new ones and replacesmore grass than he cuts.

The reason for theC grade is because youinstalled grass where itis useless and does notcontribute to the design, Isaid.

But the customer hadgrass and wanted new grass,so I suggested articial turfinstead to make it lowermaintenance, Frema said.

Thats reasonable,

but the lawn could havebeen replaced with a largerentrance walkway and largerplanting beds for betterproportion with the house, Itold him.

Lawn generally does notmake a home look larger ormore eloquent articialor not.

Another of my protgesrecently installed a hedgefor a client who has anexisting cedar hedge on thecity boulevard, backed by achain link fence, and further

HOME

Once in awhile I comeacross a product that Ithink is very clever.

You may have seenthese 30 x 30 centimetrechalkboard mats inand around craft storesbut did you know howadaptable they could be?These chalkboard matsare extremely versatileand with a quick wipe of achalkboard brush or dampcloth they are ready to usefor another purpose.

Here are a few ideas forthis multipurpose product.

PlacematsI love using these

chalkboard mats as tableplacemats. Purchase oneor two packages of silver,adhesive scrolls at Michaelsand apply them to theedges of the mat. Using asimple stick of white chalk,write your guests name inthe centre of the placemat.The result is a very prettytable setting. At the end ofthe evening, simply erasethe guests name and storethem away for the nextdinner party.

Memo boardThese chalkboard mats

may be cut to any customsize you desire to t insidethe door of your kitchen orofce cupboard. Using apair of sharp scissors, cut

the paper to t inside thecupboard door and gluewith your glue gun. Usethe chalkboard as a memoboard or to-do list.This isa great idea for a kids deskspace as well.

Gift wrapIf you are planning to

wrap a fairly large present,these chalkboard matswork wonderfully for agift-wrap idea.Wrap yourpresent in a plain, solidwrapping paper. I ndeither plain white, black orbrown works nicely for thisidea. Glue the chalkboardmat to the topside of thepresent and write yourrecipients name on the topwith a piece of colouredchalk.

Buffet stationI saw this idea at a

recent dinner party andthought it was brilliant. Ifyou purchase four to ve ofthese chalkboard mats youcan line them up togetheralong your buffet table.

Place your menu itemsalong the mats and writethe name of the dish on themat beside the particularitem.

The presentation is verystriking and surprisinglycomplementary to the mealitems.

Very chic.

PARENTING

Kathy LynnParentingToday

Helping children copewith divorceAskmost children andthey will tell you thatdivorce sucks.And yetabout 40 per cent ofCanadianmarriages endin divorce.

In the early 1970s whendivorce rates started toclimb as a result of thenew divorce laws, peoplebelieved it wouldnt be aproblem for children.Afterall, there will be so many

children of divorce that itwill simply seem normal andacceptable.

But its not the case.Themajority of children wishtheir parents would staytogether.They love bothparents and no matter thattheir folks argue a lot, it istheir reality of family witheveryone together in thesame house.

Preschoolers suffer from

a fear of separation andoften have sleep problemsbecause they worry that theother parent will leave.Theycan become very whineyand clingy for the samereason.

School-aged childrengrieve openly with cryingand or sighing. On the otherhand there are kids whohold in their feelings becausethey are afraid that if theystart crying they will neverstop.

The tweens are oftenangry at whicheverparent they blame forthe divorce.They alsoexperience a deteriorationin peer relationships.This isproblematic because this isa time when they need thesupport of their friends.

Teens are worriedabout the future.They areconcerned about nances,leaving home and leavinga single parent on herown and also about theirability to form a lifelongrelationship.

There are some stepsparents can take to easedivorce for their children.It is much easier for thechildren if the parents cancontinue to work together toparent the kids, starting withhow you present this changein your lives.

If at all possible, bothparents should tell the kidstogether and tell all the kidsat the same time.That waythey know that both parentsagree, that both parents lovethem and they know thatthey are getting the sameinformation as their siblings.

Tell the kids when a rmdecision has been made, andpreferably before you have

actually separated.Explain why you are

divorcing and present thedecision as a solution, nota failure. Let them knowthat you are sad that this ishappening and that its OKfor them to be sad also.

If at all possible, notonly should both parentstell the kids together, youshould rst determine howto explain the reasons in arational way. It is importantthat the kids know that thereis a reason and that theirparents tried to make themarriage work but for verygood reasons its best toseparate.

Its very important in thisconversation that you makeit abundantly clear that thechildren are in no way toblame. It astonishes parentshow often the kids believethat if they had just behavedbetter this would have neveroccurred.

Let them know that youboth love them and will stayactive in their lives.

Present future plans in asmuch detail as possible andgive the kids time and spaceto ask all their questions,both in this meeting and

over the next days andweeks.

They will want concretedetails about where eachparent is going to live, whenthey will see each parent,and where they will sleepwhen they visit the departingparent.

The factor that seemsto stand out as the mostimportant for the positivemental health anddevelopment of the childrenof divorce is the quality ofthe parenting.

When divorcing parentscan put the needs of thechild before those of theadults, the children standan improved chance ofsurviving divorce andeven growing stronger.This can be a challenge.Going through a divorce isdifcult for adults. Often

they inadvertently are sodistracted it is hard to ndthe energy to continue thetough job of parenting,particularly because the kidsmay be acting out due to thedivorce. But when positiveparenting practices continuewithout a break the kids willdo much better.

In combination with that,children need a continuingrelationship with each oftheir parents no matterwhat the physical custodyarrangements.

With a little thoughtand planning this difculttransition can be madeeasier for the children andthat will also make it easierfor you.

Not-so-scaryHalloweenbooks for timid readers

Ghost in the House byAmmi-Joan Paquette,illustrations by AdamRecord (Somerville,Mass.)$18

A small and not-very-brave ghost wanders througha creepy haunted housecollecting a variety of not-very-scary companions whoare all horried when thelight goes on to reveal, gasp. . . a little pajama-clad boy.Far from being afraid, thechild casually watches thecreatures tear off in frightand calls Goodnight! totheir retreating backs fromhis open window.

The little ghost isadorable, the monster islarge and uffy and themummy and skeleton areportrayed as cute cartoon-ycharacters. No worries aboutscaring timid readers andthe little boy appears to beas in charge as Max inWheretheWildThings Are.

The characters in thispicture book march (oroat) through a seriesof beautifully mutedbackground colours as theyprogress through the house.The nal page is striking

as we see the creatures asblack silhouettes racing offinto the night. Perfect for thechild who wants to be scaredbut not too much!

I Am aWitchs Cat byHarriet Muncaster (NewYork,HarperCollins) $19.99

A sprightly little girldressed in a black cat

costume skips, dances andprowls through the pages ofthis Halloween picture book.She explains how she knowsfor sure that her motheris a witch even though thereader sees the image of anattractive and quite ordinaryparent.The child is proudof her witch mom and thetwo are very close theopening illustration of the

two of them cosily snuggledtogether reading a bookmakes that abundantly clear.

In the following pages thechild points out her momslotions and makeup that areclearly dangerous potions.And when the two goshopping for groceries andbuy pickles and onions theyare obviously purchasingeyeballs and green ngers!Magical herbs rather thanvegetables grow in thegarden and the vacuumcleaner wand is a high-techbroomstick.

This is an utterlycharming take on Halloweenand the artwork is fabulous.The jacket informationexplains that the artistcreated three-dimensionalpictures out of paper andother materials which werethen photographed.

The Itsy-Bitsy Pumpkinby Sonali Fry, illustrationsby Sanja Rescek (NewYork,Little Simon) $6.99

Very young children willenjoy this board book andrelate to the familiar tune ofItsy Bitsy Spider.

Cosy pastel pictures ofsmiling pumpkins, a littlewitch with blonde pigtailsand a smiling kitty make thisa jolly romp for toddlers.

You should prepare tosing the text over and overand over. . . .
