Explosion, house fire erupt after gunman releases woman held hostage for 6½ hours

Surrey man dies in Kamloops standoff Tim Petruk Kamloops This Week

Police learn man is wrapped in explosives.

A 48-year-old Surrey man is presumed dead following a 6½-hour standoff at a Kamloops home Thursday that ended with the home reduced to rubble. “This has been a terrible night for everybody,” Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said as he addressed reporters at about 12:45 a.m. Friday, with a fully

engulfed house fire serving as backdrop for the impromptu media scrum. The incident began around 5:20 p.m. May 17, when police received a report of shots fired at a single-family home in Kamloops’ Dufferin neighbourhood. Neighbours called 911 after spotting a man wearing a trench coat and armed with a shotgun enter the home. A 44-year-old single mother, her four chil-

dren – aged 13, 11, nine and eight – and the woman’s current boyfriend were in the home. Learned described the gunman as the woman’s estranged boyfriend who was still distraught over their breakup two years earlier. After entering the home, he fired a single shot into the ceiling then told all but his former girlfriend to leave the house, Learned said Friday morning. see page A2

Murder charges

Trio ordered to stand trial Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Three people charged with the 2007 murder of a Surrey mother of three have been ordered to stand trial. Amanpreet Kaur Bahia’s body was found in a pool of blood in her home near 125 Street and 58 Avenue more than five years ago by family members who had returned from an outing. Police described the death as a “brutal, violent attack.” Two of her three young daughters were home and were left to fend for themselves for several hours while their mother lay dead. Amanpreet Bahia Police say they’d identivictim fied a suspect early on and, in December 2010, the Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crime Historical Case Unit provided new information that advanced the investigation. Last year, Amanpreet’s husband, Baljinder Singh Bahia, 41, was arrested, along with two others – 33-year-old Eduard Viktorovitch Baranec and Tanpreet Kaur Athwal, 42. All three were charged with first-degree murder. The trial was ordered last Tuesday after a short preliminary hearing that began the day before in Surrey Provincial Court.

Ellaray Lewis, 5, shares a laugh with her dad, Craig, in their backyard last week, with her next surgery, scheduled for June 5, miles from her mind.

Catching up with Ellaray

Five years and 18 surgeries later… Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

It was a matter-of-fact statement that made Craig Lewis’ heart soar: “Daddy, I have no more hairy nevus there.” Five-year-old Ellaray rubbed her left hip as she said it, feeling a patch of the new skin that’s slowly overtaking the extensive brownish blemishes she was born with. “That’s five years and 18 surgeries,” her dad said. “Her next question is, ‘Is the doctor going to finish the rest of

me?’ This little girl is so close…” Ellaray’s story first captured the hearts of Semiahmoo Peninsula residents in May 2008. Born with a rare skin condition that plastered her body with more than 100 hairy brownish spots and a taillike tumour that stretched nearly eight inches across her bottom, Ellaray has undergone many surgeries and treatments in her five years – with more to come. Her next is set for June 5. Three years ago – 2½ years into the

tot’s lifelong fight against what developed into an aggressive skin cancer – doctors began implanting expansion bags under Ellaray’s skin, to grow new skin to replace her diseased tissue. It was last month when Ellaray showed her dad the progress on her hip. Next month, doctors will start work on her front side. The surgery is scheduled for three days after a fundraiser to support Ellaray and her dad on their journey. see page A4

from page A1 The woman’s boyfriend escaped out the front door with three of the children. A fourth child fled through a bedroom window. Fifteen homes within a 200-metre radius were evacuated. During negotiations with the suspect that began just after 7 p.m., police were told he had explosives wired to his body, that there were explosives in the residence and that an explosive device was wired to the gas tank of his vehicle, which also had a bomb inside. “The suspect, who is an electrician by trade, provided specific details to the negotiator regarding how the explosives were wired and how he would be able to detonate the devices remotely,” Learned said. At one point, the gunman told officers he would walk out of the home with the hostage handcuffed to him and a bomb switch in his hand. He said the bomb would detonate if police shot him. At about midnight, the woman was released unharmed. Police negotiators “abruptly” lost contact with the gunman about 10 minutes later. The disconnect came at the same time that a series of explosions could be heard from the area of the home, Learned said. The fire that followed began on the main floor and quickly spread throughout the home. Mounties held fire crews back because of the potential of explosives in the home,

and because a pipe bomb confirmed to be inside the suspect’s vehicle could not be safely neutralized. Firefighters began dousing the fully engulfed home from a distance, and crews had the blaze under control shortly after 1 a.m. A robot was used to remove and neutralize one pipe bomb; a second, similar bomb found attached to the vehicle’s underside was also dealt with. One neighbour described the incident as “really bizarre.” “It’s very sad to see this so close to home,” said Paul Zaetsoff, who lives a block away from the house. “This is actually unbelievable that it’s happening here.” Investigation is ongoing. As of Peace Arch News early long-weekend press deadline Friday afternoon, police had yet to begin sifting through the remains of the house, and no names had been released. – files from Michael Potestio

news Trustee holds provincial government responsible for failing to reach agreement with teachers

School board urges province to negotiate Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey school trustee wants the provincial government to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better way to negotiate an agreement with B.C. teachers. “Obviously, this isn’t working. It’s just been so frustrating for everyone, the teachers, the parents, students, the trustees, admin,” trustee Laurie Larsen told fellow board members Thursday. “I feel that the government could have acted in a different way with different results.” Larsen suggested the Surrey Board of Education forward its concerns to the minister of education as soon as possible. In a motion presented to fellow trustees, she asked that Education Minister George Abbott be “strongly urged” to “develop alternative approaches to

dispute resolution, given that the efforts to date have met with no success.” She also wants the Surrey board to tell the minister to be more flexible so that a settlement can be reached prior to the end of June “so that this school year can be completed in a positive and productive manner and the 2012-13 school year can commence with a renewed commitment to shared support and respect for education.” All but one of the trustees present supported Larsen. (Trustees Shawn Wilson and Pam Glass were absent.) Dissenting trustee Reni Masi said he felt the motion was unnecessary and late and believes the mediation process should proceed. “No matter what the mediator suggests or recommends, neither side has to follow it anyways,” Masi said.

“It’s an attempt to bring the parties ties, leading to the cancellation of together. There doesn’t have to be a some sports events, class trips and binding decision.” school club plans.

Townhouse project not best use of open land, councillor says

Robinson calls for increased density Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

If White Rock is going to become the vibrant seaside city that previous councils have envisioned, serious strides will have to be made towards increasing its tax base. And that, argues Coun. Larry Robinson, means boosting density on the outskirts and building higher in the town centre. Having that goal in mind, Robinson says, prompted him to describe a townhouse project proposed for east of Peace Arch Hospital as “just not a good use of the dirt” during last week’s land use and planning committee meeting. Following discussion of a staff recommendation to move a requested zoning amendment forward to public hearing, the committee voted 5-1 in favour of authorizing staff to proceed with scheduling the hearing, with Robinson casting the opposing vote. Robinson told Peace Arch News Thursday that he “made a fuss” about the project – a fourbuilding, 20-unit complex proposed for 1526, 1536, 1550 and 1556 Finlay St. – “because I’m setting the table for what’s going to happen out there… for changing zoning.” He said this will apply particularly to the

A Surrey woman accused of lighting a police car on fire during last year’s Stanley Cup riot has pleaded not guilty. Alicia Price, 22, was charged in December with taking part in a riot, mischief to property over $5,000 and arson damaging property. Last Wednesday in Vancouver Provincial Court, she pleaded not guilty to all three charges. Her next trial date is not until March of next year, when a pretrial conference is scheduled, and her trial isn’t slated to begin until September 2013. Websites that sprung up to identify alleged rioters after the June 2011 incident identified a woman on a YouTube video as Price. In the shaky video, it appears a young woman with bleach-blond hair and a lip piercing leans inside the back seat of a police car, holding a lit lighter to the upholstery and what looks to be a crumpled piece of paper. Price has no criminal record. Crown prosecutors have now charged a total of 91 people charged with riot-related offences. Damage to property on the night of the riot, which saw vehicles flipped and burned and window fronts smashed, is estimated at $3 million. Investigators have so far recommended nearly 600 charges against 200 suspected rioters. Several of the accused have already pleaded guilty, including Surrey’s Richard Dorosh, 18, and Emmanuel Alviar, 19, both of whom face a single charge of participating in a riot. - with files from Jeff Nagel

Break longer again Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Students in Surrey public schools will get another two-week break next spring. The Surrey Board of Education voted Thursday to extend the one-week provincial break by four days next March. The extra closure days are March 25-28, which fall between the standard spring break week and Easter, meaning students will be out of school March 18 to April 1. Two-week spring breaks have become the norm in many B.C. school districts, as boards try to save money. In Surrey, the savings are pegged at about $400,000. There are also six district-wide noninstructional days scheduled in Surrey for the 2012-13 school year.

A reminder that each day is a gift

ometimes we are given only the time it takes to blink an eye to be brought faceto-face with the eternal verities of life and death, the impermanence and fragility of everything we take for granted. On last Thursday’s front page, we shared two such stories – a Newton senior who gave no thought to his own safety in trying to save a young woman from a sudden, violent attack; and a White Rock man who has discovered, through a split-second hockey injury that left him quadriplegic, just how many friends and supporters he has. Narinder Nayar, then 70, rallied to the aid of his co-worker, 24-year-old Ravinder Kaur Bhangu, at a community newspaper office last July, when she was attacked by a man with an axe. Though she was not related to Nayar, she was was considered like a daughter to the volunteer photographer. Nayar did not hesitate to place himself in harm’s way when he saw the attacker strike, receiving two serious axe wounds himself, before he was able to summon help. Nayar, recognized for his bravery at an RCMP awards ceremony last week, rejects any notion he is a hero. He is only sad that he was unable to save the young woman, who succumbed to her injuries. There is already a happier outcome to the story of Richard Morrison, a former HandyDart driver now facing life in an electric wheelchair after hitting the boards head-first at a drop-in hockey game last month. Boosted by his wife, children, friends and co-workers, the 47-year-old is discovering he has the will and strength to face his sudden misfortune, helped immeasurably by last week’s inspirational visit from Canada’s Man In Motion, Rick Hansen, who offered his support. What the popular father of two has also learned is that his past spirit of giving to others is being returned, with interest, by a community that has shown it is more than willing to give back to ‘one of the good guys’ – and an outpouring of support from around the world. While the road ahead of Morrison cannot be easy, there is much that can be learned from his story, and from the example of Nayar. We cannot know what each passing day will bring, but we can aspire to a certain grace and serenity in facing challenges we have to meet. Some find it in a formal, articulated faith; some merely in hope and perseverance. But each of us should seek to make the most of every day, to appreciate the simple joys that life affords and express love to all those who are dear to us.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 57% no 43% 76 responding people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides” is telling. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that. The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

Parks work appreciated Editor: Re: Don’t just boast about biodiversity; Contamination delays ponds; Park delays unacceptable – April 3, 10, 24 letters. The neighbours around Southmere Village Park wish to thank the City of Surrey parks department for the wonderful improvements to our jewel in the city. The workers from the construction company, Double M Construction, were excellent in their courtesy to onlookers and those who asked many questions about the project. The workmen were friendly to the nesting bird population, as well as protecting the water creatures, and kept the job site clean and organized. We are proud of our park, and ask neighbours to please have dogs on leashes, as there are 12 new goslings and seven baby ducks for all to enjoy. For a job well done, we say thank you. T. Mac Kay, White Rock

sandwich. He was hilarious, very relaxed, friendly, and easy to talk to after he finished his sandwich! The questions from the audience where many about both Cuba and the role of the U.S. government collaborating with Cuban exiles in acts of terrorism against Cuba. The film answered the question about who the “real terrorists,” in this case, are. One of the questions was: “Why is the U.S. treating Cuba this way while they have warm relations and trade with China and Vietnam?” It was a great educational night, and our moderator, Charles Maxcer, equally relaxed and quick to filter the questions, made for an exciting evening. What technology! The Social Justice Festival monthly films have been well attended this

year. The last film until September is on May 25 and is called The End of Poverty. Hope to see you there. Margaret McLachlan, White Rock

School zone needs backup Open letter to the City of Surrey traffic section and Mayor Dianne Watts. Recently, I was walking my daughter to Crescent Park Elementary school, as is our usual routine. We were crossing from the southeast corner of 128 Street and 24 Avenue, headed north. It is a well-marked school zone. For some reason, cars driving through this intersection routinely

ignore this fact. This time, as soon as the light turned green, a car attempted to make a right turn without even checking for kids. I actually had to jump out and yell at the driver, to protect three young girls from being struck. I have complained about this intersection several times in the past three years and our school has tried to convince the city that there is a problem. Still, nothing happens. Our crossing guard also recently contacted the city about these same problems. Still, no response. Other than a dead or maimed child, what will it take for some sort of meaningful action by the City of Surrey? Clearly, current measures are having no effect. Louise Witt, Surrey

More about working youth Editor: Re: The difference of education, May 10 letters. The letter from Landon Gill from Southridge School on “making a difference” was very good. I believe that there could be change worldwide for ‘working children,’ if a seventh grader is involving himself. But let us also examine just what the term ‘working children’ means. In many countries, this work can provide sustenance for the child in dire circumstances. We should also study how so many of our children with the privilege of education do not learn to “work” to exist in a society. There are times when one wonders if there is a sense of boredom with education without work. Marie Filuk, Surrey

Global issues brought home Editor: The Social Justice Film Society’s film on April 27 was called Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up, produced by award-winning author Saul Landau from California. It was a chilling portrait of one of the last cold war conflicts still playing out over the threat coming from the exile community in Miami. This was an exciting night.

In 1942, thousands of B.C. residents of Japanese origin were rounded up and shipped to the Interior until 1949.

No apology for wartime relocation Editor: Re: B.C. apologizes for Japanese internment, May 10; Re: A long-overdue apology, May 10 column. The apology issued to the B.C. Japanese, as reported in the PAN, was indeed long overdue and has to be highly commended, when applied to the disgusting Canadian actions of confiscating and selling off farms, homes, boats etc. belonging to the relocated Japanese. However, no apology is warranted for relocating some 21,000 Vancouver Japanese to the B.C. Interior. That was a prudent and virtually essential action necessitated by the state of the war as seen through 1942 eyes. In 1942, the free world was staring defeat in the face. Britain had barely survived the Battle of Britain; the German invasion of Russia was only stopped at Stalingrad at the end of 1942; Rommel was stopped at El Alamein at the end of 1942; the Japanese was rampaging through the Pacific with victories in Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and others. They had occupied U.S. soil with the capture of some of the Aleutian Islands. Darwin was heavily bombed. In 1942, the Allies suffered appalling shipping losses from U-boats and Japanese submarines off the west coast. In 1942, it was widely believed – through 1942 eyes – that an invasion of the Canadian and U.S. west coast was imminent.

The Canadian decision-makers would have been delinquent if they had not relocated the B.C. Japanese. It is virtually certain that there were spies within that group, although never proven and never required to be proven because of the relocation of the community. No action taken out of prudent concern requires justification by the occurrence of the event against which it guards. For example: Toronto skyscrapers were cleared of people immediately after the 9-11 WTC attacks in New York, but a plane later slamming into the CN Tower was not necessary to justify that evacuation. The B.C. Japanese were not re-blooded Canadians with only visual differences. Among the some 21,000 B.C. Japanese, about 6,000-7,000 had been born and raised in Japan and were still Japanese subjects. About another 7,000 had been schooled in Japan. The community was highly isolationist, with little fraternization with the rest of the Canadian public. The 21,000 relocated B.C. Japanese were neither tortured, beaten, starved, raped, denied shelter nor suffered any other inhumane treatment. In perspective, note that in the Second World War, 29 to 56 million innocent civilians were killed, many brutally. Along with many of the B.C. Japanese, those millions were the innocent victims of a hellish war. David Poole, Surrey

Notice of a Public Hearing May 28, 2012

Contributed photo

NOTICE is hereby given that the Council of the City of White Rock will hold a Public Hearing in City Hall COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, on Monday, May 28, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in accordance with the Local Government Act. At the Public Hearing, all persons who deem their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions reﬂecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the Public Hearing.

One of five new traffic information signs put up in the Lower Mainland.

BYLAW 1975

New displays to provide traffic updates for drivers

“White Rock Zoning Bylaw 1999, No. 1591, Amendment (CD-34 – 1321 Fir Street) Bylaw, 2012, No. 1975”

Signs of the times

CIVIC ADDRESS: 1321 Fir Street (See Site Map below)

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Lower Mainland commuters have a new tool to help gauge how long they’ll have to sit in traffic on key routes and whether there’s a faster alternative. The province has installed five new overhead signs that display estimated travel times between the Oak Street Bridge and King George Boulevard via either the Massey Tunnel or the Alex Fraser Bridge. The new message signs, part of a $2.7-million expansion of B.C.’s Advanced Traveller Information System, supplement others that tell drivers how long the waits are at local border crossings. The signs are located at: • Highway 10 westbound, west of Scott

Road in Delta. • Highway 17 northbound, south of Ladner Trunk Road in Delta. • Highway 91 southbound, south of Howe Street Overpass in New West. • Highway 99 southbound, south of Oak Street Bridge near Cambie Street in Richmond. • Highway 99 northbound, south of Highway 91 in Surrey. Traffic is measured between various points along the Highway 99 and 91 corridors through intelligent road sign technologies and congestion tracking. Transportation ministry officials say the signs can also be used to display other important travel information, such as road conditions, weather, route options and public safety messages, such as Amber Alerts.

PURPOSE: Bylaw 1975 proposes to amend “White Rock Zoning Bylaw, 1999, No. 1591” by adding CD-34 zone to accommodate the development of a four (4) unit residential townhouse complex on a site of approximately 0.07 hectares (0.17 acres). Further details may be obtained from the City’s Planning and Development Services Department at City Hall. Should you have any comments or concerns you wish to convey to Council and you cannot attend the public hearing, please submit in writing to the City Clerk by 4:00 p.m., Monday, May 28, 2012. You may forward your submissions by: • mailing or delivering to the City Clerk’s Ofﬁce at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, B.C. V4B 1Y6; or • faxing to 604-541-9348; or • e-mailing the City Clerk at tarthur@whiterockcity.ca with “Bylaw No. 1975” typed in the subject line. Please Note: Council may not receive further submissions from the public or interested persons concerning the application after the Public Hearing is concluded. Copies of the above proposed bylaw may be inspected in the City Clerk’s Ofﬁce at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, from Tuesday, May 8, 2012 until Monday, May 28, 2012, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding weekends and statutory holidays.

Henley said he didn’t think other informants were believable when they claimed Ellingsen saw a body being gutted. Henley said he believed Ellingsen was helping Pickton pick up women from the Downtown Eastside merely because he had a reputation as a bad trick, not because he was killing them. Ellingsen would later be the star witness at Pickton’s trial, helping secure his conviction, but the officers’ failure to get her co-operation in 1999 largely sank the investigation for two and a half years. The inquiry also heard the RCMP’s brief surveillance of Pickton that year ended because Coquitlam Mounties could not afford to continue it and did not seek more funding.

news Bridge discussions ‘frustrating’

Pattullo talks continue Jeff Nagel Black Press

Surrey business leaders are alarmed about the growing talk in New Westminster that the aging Pattullo Bridge should be dismantled and not replaced, cutting off a key trade route over the Fraser River. So the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) – which strongly backs a new six-lane replacement bridge – hopes businesses will speak up about the importance of the corridor at a May 24 public meeting it’s hosting with the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce on the Pattullo’s future. SBOT executive director Anita Huberman said last week that it’s been “frustrating” to hear New Westminster residents speak out for a smaller four-lane replacement or no bridge at all, adding she hopes those who attend learn more of the business perspective. “They’re not being educated about the full economic picture,” she said. “It is a

significant transportation link between New Westminster and Surrey.” Huberman said good transportation is critical to moving the Surrey economy forward. “We have 1,000 people a month moving into the city,” she said. “We’re trying to find businesses to move into the city to find well-paying jobs for these new people.” In New Westminster, where concern runs strong that a bigger bridge will intensify local congestion, Huberman’s counterparts have not yet taken a position. “We want to hear from the business community what their recommendations are before taking more of a solid position,” New Westminster chamber executive director Cori Lynn Germiquet said. The Pattullo Bridge Business Dialogue runs from 10 a.m. to noon at the Fraser River Discovery Centre in New Westminster at 788 Quayside Dr.

Cloverdale cop takes top spot Surrey is home to the province’s top enemy of drunk drivers. Cloverdale RCMP Const. Brant Arnold-Smith collared 352 drunk drivers last year, far and away the most out of any cop in the province. Arnold-Smith was honoured last month as the most prolific cop on the anti-drunk driving team known as “Alexa’s Team.” Formed four years ago, Alexa’s

Team was named after 4½-year-old Alexa Middelaer, a girl who attended preschool in South Surrey and who was killed at the side of the road in east Ladner while feeding a horse with her aunt in 2008. Since 2008, Alexa’s Team members have processed 32,743 impaired driving charges or penalties against drivers in violation of B.C’s impaired driving laws.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

South Surrey resident speeds up her recovery thanks to new program

‘Bridging a gap’ for stroke survivors N

ot too long ago, Janis Hoskins was lying in a hospital bed, unable to speak or move her right side. But inside, she was mustering her strength. “I’m a fighter,” said Hoskins, a South Surrey resident who had a stroke last August. “The physiotherapist at Royal Columbian Hospital saw that spark in me. He pushed me so that he could build me up to send me to Eagle Ridge for intensive rehab.” Hoskins, 63, put everything she had into her physical, occupational and speech therapy at Eagle Ridge’s High Intensity Rehabilitation Unit so that she could go home to her husband, Michael, as soon as possible. About five weeks later she achieved that goal, which she credits to a new Fraser Health program that allowed her to continue ❝I was very receiving intensive damaged and I rehab as an outpatient. needed a lot of The Rehab Early therapy, but they Discharge (REDi) targets really bridged program patients like Hoskins, the gap. ❞ who still need rehab but no longer require Janis Hoskins 24/7 care, can get to appointments, and can manage at home with support from either family or home health services. “I was really eager to go home,” she said. “When you know you have someone at home to help you, all you can think about is getting out of the hospital. It’s not home.” Recent North American research suggests rehab patients are happier and improve faster when they are discharged earlier and continue therapy as outpatients. This has been the case for REDi, which allows patients to go home an average of nine to 11 days sooner – freeing up hospital beds – while reducing a patient’s recovery time. “It’s the best of both worlds,” said Val Spurrell, Fraser Health’s executive director of clinical programs and operations for rehab, older adult and allied health. “We’ve created a program that provides great service with great outcomes, and the feedback from patients has been so positive. It’s also increasing our capacity. By reducing inpatient stays, we can see more patients.” After its launch at Surrey Memorial and Eagle Ridge hospitals in 2011, it was expanded to Peace Arch Hospital and Queen’s Park Care Centre and is now being

Through REDi, patients come in up to four times a week and will see multiple therapists during each appointment, which reduces a patient’s travel and speeds recovery. Being at home encourages patients to be more active, which is important for stroke

recovery. “You have to do things for yourself at home so you have no choice but to get better,” Hoskins said. “We had a dog at the time. He was old so he didn’t pull me when we walked. I was able to get him out after a month or

so by myself and do little walks. That was wonderful. I felt independent.” The outpatient therapy was just as intensive as what she received in hospital, she found. “I was very damaged and I needed a lot of therapy, but they really bridged the gap. They were definitely there when I needed them.” Hoskins was discharged from Surrey Memorial’s REDi program in February and continues occupational therapy to improve her writing, build strength and dexterity in her right fingers, and eliminate a slight limp. From her speech, a stranger would never know she had a stroke. “I’m getting better all the time,” she said. “I owe a lot to the program. I can’t say enough about the people who worked with me.” Spurrell noted that, increasingly, outpatient programs such as REDi are helping Fraser Health address the rising demand for health care. Redesigning rehabilitation services to meet patient needs in a way that is equally effective but more efficient enables Fraser Health to reduce hospital congestion and serve more people, she said. This is considered particularly important for conditions such as stroke, which are closely linked to age and on the rise. In B.C., stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults, the second leading cause of dementia and the third leading cause of death. “Our philosophy is that home is best,” Spurrell said. “In the past many services were only provided in a hospital. This program is changing that. It’s allowing people to be at home with their families and receive the same level of care they could receive in the hospital.”

lifestyles South Surrey winners to receive honour in England

Students win Duke award Two South Surrey students will have a close encounter with royalty this summer, when they travel to London, England, to receive the Duke of Edinburgh gold award from Prince Edward. It took Elgin Park Secondary graduates Liam Ross and Parker Simpson two years to complete the five required sections to qualify for a gold certificate from the international program that encourages youth achievement and volunteerism. Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities included organizing and hiking the West Coast Trail, helping build a school in rural India as well as community volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, Surrey Youth Stewardship Squad, Friends of Semiahmoo Bay, and Scouts Canada. He also earned his power and sail squadron boating and seamanship certification as well as going sea kayaking, sailing, playing hockey and learning architectural drafting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met a lot of great people who have supported me along the way,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve travelled to beautiful and challenging locations that I might never have seen. Receiving the award in London is a great way to kick off summer.â&#x20AC;? Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities included organizing and hiking the Cape Scott Trail with a group, partici-

Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never forget the places I have been, the people I have met, and the amazing memories from participating in the activities. Going to London and meeting a member of the royal family has been a continuous motivation

in completing this time consuming award.â&#x20AC;? After the award ceremony the two intend to travel throughout Europe for a month before returning to Canada and post-secondary studies in the fall. Since it was founded in 1956, millions of young people have taken part in the Duke of Edinburgh program created by Prince Philip, the current Duke. When Prince Edward was named The Earl of Wessex on his marriage in 1999, Buckingham Palace announced that he will be given the title Duke of Edinburgh when the title reverts from Prince Philip. The Earl is a trustee of the program. The award is designed to encourage young people to set and achieve goals in four different areas of activity at the bronze and silver level and five at the gold level. It is open to anyone between 14 and 24. The sections include volunteer service, physical recreation, developing practical and social skills and personal interests as well as planning, training for and completing an â&#x20AC;&#x153;adventurous journey.â&#x20AC;? At the gold level, participants must do an additional fifth section, which involves staying and working away from home doing shared activity. For more, visit www.dukeofed.org

FOCUS ON FITNESS “FITNESS” has several definitions and applies to each of us in a personal way: 1) The ability to perform daily tasks and activities without injury and to enjoy leisure activities and pursuits 2) Skill related fitness – components such as Balance, Agility, Power, Speed, Hand/Eye Coordination, Flexibility 3) State of “Well-being”or ”Health” we are able to defend against diseases and illness by maintaining a healthy balance of Lean/Fat Body Composition, optimum Cardiovascular function, appropriate Weight, good Nutrition In order to enjoy our day-to-day activities, whether ahey are the functions of our job or our leisure pursuits, we all need some level of Fitness. Spring is a good time to focus on your own personal “FITNESS” and here are some ideas on how to achieve yours: PRIORITIZE your fitness goals. Think seriously about what’s most important to you. If you have several different fitness goals on your wish list, prioritize them so you can focus on one at a time. If your goals are too complex or different from each other, you’ll have a tough time achieving them all at once and it will feel like failure. Be SPECIFIC about your goals. A common goal is “Weight Loss”. Think about whether you really want to lose WEIGHT or is it FAT you want to lose? A more positive goal may be “I want to gain muscle and healthy, lean mass.” How many pounds? Is there a cycling or running race in which you’d like to compete? A mountain you’d like to conquer? A new activity or hobby you’d like to try? A grandchild that you want to play with? If there’s a particular task you wish to accomplish, you’ll need to know exactly HOW to train in order to get that done. In order to MEASURE your progress, you’ll need some very specific information at the starting point. Get a fitness assessment from a personal trainer or ask your doctor for a physical

www.peacearchnews.com A15

exam prior to beginning your fitness project. This will make goal setting much easier because you’ll know exactly what you need to accomplish. It’s also the only possible way to measure how far you’ve come at any point in your pursuit of fitness. Set up a TIME frame and allow yourself to reach your goals in increments. Be realistic and give yourself a pat on the back when you reach every milestone. You’ll be surprised at how much momentum you’ll gain when you reach that first goal and can start working on the next step. Success feels great! Organize your “toolbox” before you begin. It should include - Knowing what type of exercise will it require. You may need a reliable book or DVD, hire a Personal Trainer, join a fitness class or talk to your Doctor about what’s necessary to get fit safely. - Set up the network you’ll need. Do you need a Dietitian? A Personal Trainer? Might you enjoy exercising with a group rather than by yourself? Enlist a good friend or spouse as your partner. Do whatever you’ll need to ensure that you won’t give up. - If you’re using the help of a fitness professional, make sure you ask for and check their credentials and references. They should be certified, experienced and insured. - Schedule. And stick to it! How much time can you devote to exercise? Will you need to do something every day? 3 times a week? How long should each session be? Depending on your goals, you may need to spend an hour each day or maybe you can achieve your first milestone by exercising 10 minutes, 3 times a day. Your schedule must fit into your life. It’s essential to understand what you NEED and what you CAN DO. - Gadgets that help you measure your accomplishments such as Heart Rate monitor, Pedometer, Scale, GPS monitor. Appropriate clothing, footwear, first- aid kit, sunscreen. A logbook or diary. Try an online food tracking website.

Next live concert at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios (1328 Johnston Rd.), will feature blues-rock guitarist David Gogo, with his special guest, singer-songwriter Bobbi Schram, Saturday, June 9, at 7:30 p.m. One of Canada’s hardest working musicians, Gogo has won three Juno nominations, received the Saturday Night Blues Great Canadian Blues Award for a lifetime contribution to blues music, and has twice been named Maple Blues guitarist of the year. He’s also played with such blues and rock legends as B.B. King, Bo Diddley, George Thorogood, ZZ Top, and toured with Johnny Winter. Former White Rock resident Schram (she had her first concert at the Semiahmoo Park bandshell when she was 16) has performed in many venues throughout B.C., and as far afield as the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. Her ‘telling a story in song’ folk style is relaxed, but with a touch of the blues. For information or reservations, call 604-542-3055 or visit www. bluefrogstudios.ca

Victory gives Marriott senior boys four consecutive championships

Mariners sink T-Wolves in Valley final Dan Kinvig Black Press

One of B.C.’s great high school rugby rivalries recorded another hard-hitting chapter on Thursday afternoon, as the Earl Marriott Mariners edged the Robert Bateman Timberwolves 7-0 in the Fraser Valley AAA boys championship game. The game was a defensive-minded affair, and stayed scoreless until the Mariners broke through for the lone points of the game late in the first half, as Ian McMaster got in for a try and Quentin Willms booted the convert. “It was another dogfight,” said EMS coach Adam Roberts. The T-Wolves had their chances, particularly in the first half when they ventured deep into Marriott territory on several occasions, but ❝For the first couldn’t push the ball time all season, they across. we battled as “It was low scoring, but hard at the goal for the first time all season, line as we ever we battled as hard at the goal line as we ever had,” had.❞ Roberts continued. Adam Roberts “We made a ton of Mariners coach mistakes, we were a little rusty – we haven’t had a real game in about three weeks – but our defence was good.” Robert Bateman coach Dave Chambers had a similar view of the low-scoring affair. “Both teams played exceptionally well,” he said in the aftermath of the game, held at Yale Secondary. “They took advantage of their one opportunity that they got and scored, and we weren’t able to take advantage. You can’t get any closer than this. It was a tremendous game.” This group of Bateman and Marriott seniors have been battling for Fraser Valley supremacy for quite some time. Two years ago, the Mariners edged the T-Wolves in overtime of the Grade 10 regional final, and the teams split their regular-season games this year. Thursday’s victory was the fourth straight Fraser Valley title for the Mariners; they beat Bateman in 2009, then won back-to-back banners against Yale in 2010 and ’11. The intensity of Thursday’s game reached a boiling point in the second half with a minor melee in front of the Bateman bench, but it amounted to nothing more than a little pushing and shoving. “It’s a good, positive sports rivalry, and it’s great to be a part of it,” Chambers said. In earlier action, the Yale Lions clinched the Valley bronze medal in dominating fashion, blasting the Semiahmoo Totems 59-22. The provincials open Saturday, May 26 with first-round games at locations around the province. The balance of the event runs May 30 to June 2 at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. – with files from Nick Greenizan

For the women’s team, another B.C. championship is nothing new. For the men, it’s been nine years since their last one. For the Cloverdalebased Surrey United Soccer Club, it’s an unprecedented sweep of B.C. Soccer’s two Provincial Cup titles in the A category. The Surrey United Firefighters won the men’s A Provincial Cup Saturday in Burnaby, topping the Delta United Hurricanes 3-2 in the final of a 16-team tournament. Coming off a fourth place finish in the Premier Division of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League, United was the lone team standing at the end of the four-week knockout competition, winning their first provincial banner since 2003. The Surrey United women won their ninth consecutive B.C. championship, stopping Columbus FC 3-0 Saturday afternoon, also in Burnaby. “It’s huge for the club,” said Martin Foden, executive director of Surrey United. “The men’s and women’s teams are the flagship teams in our club. It means so much for the rest of our club, particularly our younger players who look up to those teams.” The club won three provincial championships on the day. United also won the Women’s Classic Cup (35-and-over), blanking Gorge FC 6-0. Megan Blaker led the way with three goals. Renee Brown, Robin Scott and Sandi Sparkes also scored. “Financially, it’s going to bankrupt us,” laughed Foden, noting all three teams will travel to regional or national tournaments next October. “We have to send three teams on the road, but it will be a proud moment for our club.” The women’s team is the defending national champion, and had little trouble earning another trip to the nationals, which will be Oct. 10-15 in Winnipeg. Ari Adams scored the only goal Surrey would need after 15

Jeff Clarke opened the scoring for Surrey in the eighth minute, putting in a rebound off a shot from Ryan Reynolds. Steve McAuley added to the lead 15 minutes later, heading home a cross from Steve Kindel. United was in control of the game, but couldn’t score over the next 50 minutes of play, until Angus Burke finished off a counterattack with less than 20 minutes to play to put the, in command at 3-0. “We were handling things pretty well, and were in control,” said Foden. “But then they scored, and it gave them a lift.” Playing coach Steve Millar got the first Delta goal on a header in the 75th minute. Then, after Clarke hit the crossbar on the penalty spot, Delta countered with a goal from Woody Bradford. “The score suggests it was a close game that could have gone either way,” said Foden. “But we fully deserved the win, we were the better team on the day.” United Firefighters will also be in Winnipeg in October to play at the nationals for the first time in close to

GENDRON, Evelyn Jean (nee Johanson) April 3, 1924-May 13, 2012 STOREY, Gloria Joyce (nee Lloyd) Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, passed away on May 15th, 2012 in Surrey B.C. Gloria is survived by her husband of 62 years, Robert Storey. Two sons Dave and Dean (Anne), both of Richmond, grandchildren Georgia, Nathan, Dara, Cam and Rachel, great-grandchildren Pari & Beanie, sister Colleen and brother-in-law Brendan and family. After her early years in Saskatchewan, Gloria and Bob moved to Vancouver in 1956. They enjoyed their years together on the West Coast raising their two boys. attending St. Mary’s Anglican Church and socializing with the CRAOT Club were highlights. Gloria passed away peacefully at the SunCreek Village Care home. Our family would like to thank the staff at SunCreek for all their wonderful care and compassion over the past two plus years. We ask in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the MS Society in Mom’s name. The family will be hosting an open house at Bob & Glo’s on Sunday, May 27th from 12-4pm. We look forward to seeing one and all. Thank you.

It is with great sadness that the family of Evelyn Gendron announces her passing at the “Irene Thomas Hospice” in Ladner. Eve was predeceased by the love of her life, Bob (Joseph), in 1985. She is survived by their: three sons, Guy (Micheline), Jan, Mark (Line) and daughter, Lise (Reg); 6 grandchildren, Sebastien, Genevieve, Christie, Rosanne, Nicolas and MarieEve, 8 great - grandchildren, two sisters-in-law, a brother-inlaw, and many loving nieces and nephews. Eve was born in New Norway, Alberta and lived in the area until moving to Edmonton to work during wartime for Wop May in the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. She met and married Bob in 1944 and lived across Canada as an Air Force Wife. After the war, they lived in Edmonton until 1953 and then moved to Quebec where they raised their family. She was an avid instigator and partner in the antique trade with Bob. Her artistic talents were put to good use when Eve earned a well-deserved reputation as a master antique furniture refinisher. In later years, they wintered in Florida and California until their retirement in White Rock, where she lived until her passing. Eve was a loving mother, grandmother and friend as well as an enthusiastic and indefatigable gardener and artist. For many years, Eve met weekly with her art group. She showed and sold her work at the Arnold Mikelson “Festival of Art” over several summers. Her time spent there was one of the highlights of her life.

A roof over your head

Rooﬁng materials aren’t just limited to cedar shakes and asphalt anymore, says Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers.

By Maggie Calloway We pretty much all grew up with the knowledge we could have any style of roof we want as long as it was cedar shakes or asphalt, but that is no longer the case. There are a number of great alternatives available now to suit not just the style and location of the home but also the unique requirements of

A standing Ovation for GVHBA members The best of the best was honoured in a gala ceremony in Vancouver. By Kerry Vital The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association has honoured the best of the best in the home-building industry with their third annual Ovation Awards. “Residential construction is a major contributer to Metro Vancouver’s economy and we are delighted to acknowledge the industry’s brightest stars,” says GVHBA President and CEO

Peter Simpson. There were several familiar faces among the big winners, including ParkLane Homes, who came out with eight awards including the Grand Ovation Awards for Single-Family Builder of the Year and Multi-Family Builder of the Year. “We are honoured to be the winner of these awards,” says Yosh Kasahara, ParkLane’s General Manager of Sales and Marketing. “We recognize the high calibre of builders and projects in these categories, and to be named (Single-Family) and Multi-Family Builder of the Year is a testament to our dedicated team of employees, stakeholders and suppliers.” ParkLane also won awards for Best Single-

We may be gnashing our teeth about the slow start to the good weather this year but the cycle of rain then sun over and over again is perfect for making that green stuff grow, and I don’t mean your bank account! As with every other job, the right tools make light work. The men at Foreshore Equipment and Supply had some insight about what’s going on in the world of lawnmowers, what’s new and better and how we should take care of our current equipment, new and old. Al Chrzanecki of Foreshore has some tips for a homeowner in the market for a new mower. “Buy a mower to fit your personal circumstances; if you are on a regular-size flat city lot you don’t need a rider mower, you really only need a push mower,” says Chrzanecki “Push mowers are somewhat different than we remember from our father and grandfather’s day. Some of them will have bushings in the wheels so you will get longevity and it will push easier because they are a little smaller at 20 inches, which is perfect for the small lot.” Chrzanecki says gas mowers have also changed over the years. “The manufacturers have changed the design of the

Renovating on a budget With a modest budget and a lot of determination, Laura Lee and Jacqueline turned their drafty little pre-war bungalow into a warm and cosy retreat. They learned how to insulate and make other energy efficiency upgrades. And, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve proven you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend a lot to save a lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can spend less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit and significantly change the comfort of your home,â&#x20AC;? says Jacqueline.

Meet Michele. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a FortisBC customer who believes in conservation and reducing greenhouse gases. She drives a fuel-efficient car, grows her own vegetables, and turns down the heat whenever she can. And now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a FortisBC renewable natural gas customer.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy thing I can do to be a little bit more green. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m helping to reduce greenhouse gases, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrific to get a reward for it too.â&#x20AC;? Michele, Mission, renewable natural gas customer

Renewable natural gas is natural gasâ&#x20AC;Śbut better Instead of coming from the ground, methane gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Before it escapes into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captured and cleaned up. Then, FortisBC adds it into their pipelines, giving British Columbians renewable energy.

How it works

Carbon neutral

For about $5 a month, you can designate 10 per cent of your natural gas usage as renewable. FortisBC will then inject an equivalent amount of renewable natural gas into their system.

FortisBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewable natural gas has been designated as carbon neutral in B.C. by Offsetters (Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading provider of carbon management solutions). Customers who sign up receive a 10 per cent credit on the B.C. carbon tax.

Many changes in rooďŹ ng â&#x20AC;&#x153; from page.1 each individual roof. Andrew McDowell of 21st Century Roofers Ltd. is a second generation roofer; you might say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in his blood. The company, started by his dad in 1978 and taken over by McDowell four years ago, has grown from a small four-person business to twelve highly trained professionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been lots of changes over the years; for instance on a low-slope roof we used to build it up with felt, tar and a gravel finish. Today we can provide a modern high-performance alternative,â&#x20AC;? McDowell says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very careful about using new products, some of which havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been around very long. Our company will only use proven materials and technology and which has a good warranty behind them. Some of the new materials have been around for ten years or less so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how they will perform over the expected life of the roof. Another thing to understand is some of the new materials donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have CSA approval from the Canadian government.â&#x20AC;? He cites the example of a wood fibre product that definitely didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 1990s there was a new roofing product

PRODUCTS â?ąâ?ą QUALIFIED TRADES â?ąâ?ą EXPERT ADVICE â?ąâ?ą

made of wood fibre in cement; it failed miserably. As we know cement is porous, as is wood fibre. This product may have been fine in Arizona but not in our climate and a lot of home owners suffered with roofs that caved in from the weight.â&#x20AC;? Metal roofs are growing in popularity. There are different types: metal shingles, metal cladding and barn profile. 21st Century uses steel metal cladding because McDowell feels the hidden system makes it much more water-tight. For most of us he says, a new roof is not a rewarding purchase that you can look at like a new television or sofa; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utilitarian. But not much else matters if on a dark and stormy night you hear the sound of water dripping onto your dining room table. Do your due diligence, check references, check to see if there is a string of complaints filed against the company and make sure you get the proper warranties. It also pays to check that the company is a member of an association like the Greater Vancouver Home Buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association which requires members to carry a minimum of $5 million in liability insurance, and is current with WorkSafe BC. Also, check to see if the company you hire subcontracts out. If they do you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who you are getting.

Tending to the neglected areas of the home By Maggie Calloway After what seems like a long fall and winter with its wood fires, mud and dust, the pull to shrug off the heavy burden of cold weather by throwing open doors and windows is irresistible. The problem is the winter takes a toll on your home, both inside and out. It may be old-fashioned to schedule a spring cleaning but it can be quite cathartic to scrub down windows, wash curtains and hang them back up fresh and clean, and generally give the whole house a deep clean. Like anything else worth doing, there is a method to doing a thorough job cleaning a house so it was time to turn to the experts, Molly Maid. The good folks at Molly Maid have refined cleaning to a fine art and that is certainly true of Vancouver’s Michele Yonge. “There are a couple of things we advise people do before they deep clean; one is getting into closets and packing away winter stuff and hanging spring and summer clothes ... not forgetting to wipe down shelves as you go,” Yonge says. “Next, cleaning windows and washing or drycleaning drapes and curtains makes a huge difference. We recommend people wash the outside (of the) windows first because if you wash the inside first you don’t get the same bang! Don’t forget to clean the curtain tracks and window frames as you go. Use the tools that help get the job done; a dry, clean paint brush for instance is terrific for getting dust out of corners. One of the handiest things to use is microfibre cloths, (which are) great to clean wooden blinds ... plus can be thrown in the washer. Feeling the sun

shining through clean windows gives you great incentive to keep going.” A big thing is to declutter the whole house. Look at everything on counters, dressers and any surface where things tend to land. Sometimes we are so used to something cluttering the house we cease to see it. If you are not using or wearing something, get rid of it. You deserve to live in a space where you can breathe, with sun pouring through windows and clean surfaces. “We recommend people do three or four deep cleanings a year depending on your home and family,” Yonge says. “Laundry rooms are another place to get organized this time of year. Instead of soiled laundry piled together, get (a basket) for whites (and) one for darks ... it makes it so much easier. Once the clothes are washed placing them in a designated colourcoded basket for each family member keeps the room organized. Master bedrooms are great to dig into this time of year because they are often the place where things are dropped (and are) probably the most neglected room in the house. A final hint would be to put together a cleaning caddy with all the tools you need at hand; it really helps motivation when you don’t have to go digging around under the sink.”

The folks at Molly Maid have some tips for doing a thorough spring cleaning, including drycleaning the drapes, de-cluttering every flat surface and tidying up the kitchen. Submitted photos

Fencing has come a long way from plain chain-link By Maggie Calloway Is there any other single product that does as many jobs as fencing? It protects your children from the traffic and drowning in the swimming pool, protects your veggie garden from marauding animals (dream on!) and separates your property from your neighbours, among many other things. Not only are there dozens of reasons for installing a fence, there are also dozens of types and styles to choose from. We all drool over photos of the thriving vegetable and flower garden surrounded by a whimsical fence and gate complete with roses, but this is not what we are about today. We want to see what’s available in robust but stylish metal fencing that will do the job, is very low maintenance, and will enhance the curb appeal of your home. Not a lot to ask is it? Not according to Ken Scherk of Steelguard Fence Ltd. “My very first advice to any home owner with a pool who wants to fence is to check with their local municipality bylaw; each municipality requirements are different,” says Scherk. “Usually when you request a permit for a pool they will have specs for fencing. Keep in mind these specs are for the

minimum required but we can tell them what it will take to keep the family safe.” Have you noticed the black metal fencing appearing over the last few years? It used to be a chain-link fence was either a natural steel or white and pretty industrial in appearance. Now there are different types of chain-link fencing available that you can place anywhere. The black chain-link almost disappears into the background. The other great thing about the new black fencing is that it is almost maintenance-free, it doesn’t show dirt unlike white or natural, and once installed it will last almost forever, since a hose or the rain will wash off any dirt. The wire on a chain-link fence is coated with PVC with a UV rating which will stand up to ultra-violet light for decades. The posts are galvanized pipe over which there is a powder-coated finish, the same type of finish There are many types of fencing available for every type of project, from a modern on a barbeque, so it will last for decades. metal railing, above, to new black chain-link, below.

Retaining the natural beauty of a stone wall By Maggie Calloway Here’s a skill testing question for you: what was built starting in AD 122 by the Romans as a defensive fortification, is 122 kilometres long, and still has a significant portion existing today? Hadrian’s Wall, which was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. It was made of stones and is built entirely in England, not on the border with Scotland as is frequently stated. The wall was the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire, and is now the most popular tourist destination in northern Europe. It’s been described as the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain by England’s heritage association. What other building material would still be standing almost 2,000 years other than the most natural of material? As Ronald Hernandez, owner of Cabana Masonry, says, “Building with masonry is a timeless art form that goes back to the great Egyptian pyramids, Greek temples There are many reasons to install a stone retaining wall, from and Roman cities.

Dedicating a room to the art of washing clothes not unusual By Maggie Calloway Remember when the washer and dryer were automatically banished to a dark corner of the basement? Well, no more! Laundry rooms are now not just any room, but a designed room. Doing laundry is now an experience, with top-end appliances, drying racks, linen storage, granite counters and marble backsplashes. I must admit I approve of this metamorphosis; doing laundry was always such a grim but necessary chore. Having the right tools to do a great job applies to this job as well as any other, and a dedicated room fully kitted out is a wonderful thing. So what makes not just a stylish room but one that works well? Looks are important but not as important as workability. Think through the process: where are the soiled clothes stored? If you have side-by-side appliances make sure the doors open the right way; you don’t want to be loading the dryer over the door of the washer. Each should open in the opposite direction so a clear inner space is formed. Shelving for laundry soap, bleach and such should be above the washer and dryer but high enough to allow you to use the top of each appliance as counter space if you are in a small room. And let’s not forget the ironing board; you need enough space to comfortably put up the board and an installed rod to hang up finished items. This rod is also great for drying hand-washed delicates. Interior designer Marlene Bourque of High Design works with John Friswell of CCI Renovations on many of his projects including laundry rooms. “This last laundry room we worked on was originally an office on the main floor of the home. We had room here to put the washer, dryer and sink, etc. on one side of the room

Laundry rooms are no longer hidden corners of the house where you dread visiting. Now, thanks to new innovations in design, it’s easy to drop in a load of laundry and get on with your day. Submitted photos

and a linen closet on the other which left lots of room for an ironing board,” says Bourque. “This is a family with young children so having the laundry room on the main floor made great sense. Having lots of storage in a laundry room is a great luxury.” If your laundry room is small, installing closed upper cabinets could feel confining. Think about open shelving with attractive baskets. Old-time ceiling drying racks are back, somewhat sleeker in design but still doing the same job of drying clothes in an

environmental way. Steal an idea from the garage and install a wall-mounted storage system; it gets everything up off the floor and, done properly, can look quite chic. One thing I love in a laundry room is a very deep sink, again just like the old days, in which you can do many things, from leaving items to soak to washing the dog. This is one room in the house where you can go a little wild with great coloured walls, maybe some wallpaper and let’s not forget a T.V. to help with the ironing. Why not?

Pushing a mower could be an exercise regimen in itself â&#x20AC;&#x153; from page.1 carburetion systems so they are much easier to start. You can now push a button to prime and the fuel is available immediately to the combustion chamber, no more pulling and pulling hoping the engine will catch,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion they have designed the system so they will start almost immediately and are much cleaner burning.â&#x20AC;? If you have a larger property or a property that has a sloping lawn, a self-propelled gas mower is the way to go unless you want to fold pushing a lawnmower into your exercise program. Like all things in life, as Chrzanecki says, there is good, better and best and the world of lawnmowers is no different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have your basic steel deck push mower; a little better unit would still be a gas mower, still with a steel deck but may be self-propelled and mulch, which is a good thing; mulching is good for your lawn. As you get up the scale you get to a Toro model which they call a super mulcher. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an aluminum deck so the deck will not rot; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 25-year machine if looked after.â&#x20AC;? Once you have sorted out what you need in the way of a mower, you need to take care of it if you want it to last and perform at the top of its game. Dana Nicholson, the fulltime mechanic at Foreshore, has 25 years experience with lawnmowers of every stripe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My advice to everyone with a mower is to really watch which fuel they use and how they use it. The fuel we have from the pump has a very short shelf life; just a few weeks before it starts to break down. I recommend, as most people will have to buy fuel from a gas station, (buying) premium fuel with no ethanol and only buy a gallon at a time,â&#x20AC;? says Nicholson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inconvenient but unlike fuel in our cars which gets used up quickly, gas sits in a lawnmower for weeks and sometimes months. If possible, buy Aspen fuel from a store specializing in lawnmowers or power tools; this fuel is refined down so far it is very clean burning with a long shelf life. The other piece of advice is to keep the blades sharp and clean. Look after the mower and it will do a good job for you.â&#x20AC;?

Al Chrzanecki, above, of Foreshore Equipment and Supply is a fan of the new gas mowers. Dana Nicholson, right, has been fixing lawnmowers for 25 years, and says his top tip is to watch what kind of fuel you use. Martin Knowles photos

Making over a North Vancouver house to turn it into a modern, family-friendly paradise By Maggie Calloway As we so often find, here is a family who loves their North Shore neighbourhood but the house, approximately fifty years old with one partial renovation in the 1990s, was tired. Enter Kennedy Crawford Design of North Vancouver who designed the project, specifically Catherine Brown, who worked with the family very closely during both the design and building process. David Adair of Blackfish Homes and Construction, also based in North Vancouver, was brought into the project to do the actual build. “This is a family of four who enjoyed their home but the whole main floor needed a major renovation to bring it up to today’s standards,” says Adair. “We virtually pulled apart the whole main floor. The original main floor consisted of much the same rooms in the same place. They had a pretty big garage with a small flex space; they weren’t really using this space so we took over a section of the garage and extended it to make a mudroom entry. In the family room we pushed the back wall, the TV wall, back right to the exterior wall to create the space we needed.” The original flooring was a mixture of tile, vinyl and carpet; this was unified throughout most of the rooms with hardwood, which made a huge difference. Vinyl tile was used in the new powder room and mudroom. “In the formal living room the floor was leveled to match of the rest of the area. The fireplace is original but the hearth and pedestal had to be adjusted to the new level of the floor,” Adair says. “The rest of it was just freshening up with new wall colour, addition of wallpaper, new ceiling fan and lighting. The dining room had a French door from the hallway so we opened everything up to make the flow better. We brought the new flooring through and again just freshened everything up with new wall colour, wallpaper, lighting.” The powder room is a good size, but it was gutted and the flooring once again brought through. The new modern vanity and toilet match the new style; there are no jarring accents just a smooth flow to all the rooms including this one. The kitchen and family room is perfect for this family. This is definitely the heart of the home where everyone spends their time. “We really enjoyed this whole project. The family was excellent to work with,” Brown says. “Our client had a very good handle on what she wanted to achieve, particularly regarding the kitchen. She knew very clearly how she wanted to function in that space and how she wanted it to work for her family, then left it to us to bring it to life, giving feedback as the project proceeded.” This kitchen is one of Brown’s favourites. “This is a very large space. You can make spaces look too modern so we like to bring in pieces to soften them, give them more warmth; the barn door was part of bringing in interest,” Brown says. “We really like to find unique pieces; the island is an example of this. We had the design in our mind then had to go and find the right piece with a little bit of the traditional about it. The beautiful stone on the island is a real stand out with the distinctive lines. The funny thing is we had that exact pattern in our original drawings so it was great to find the exact match. We used Caesarstone on the surrounding counters and the backsplash above the stove is a mosaic white marble which adds a bit of an interesting accent. The stove is Fisher & Pykel, the jewel of the kitchen.” Brown says the client was good about communicating her master plan for the kitchen and how she wanted to use the space, which made her job easier. “Every bit of the kitchen and family room, from the wall of storage cupboards with so much detail in the cabinetry, to the fabric chosen, to the colour of the stone, it all had to work together. We have an eye for detail right down to the hardware on the barn door to the faucets, the tile, every single detail is gone through so there are no jarring notes and everything flows,” she says. I must say I love the barn door in the kitchen. I’ve seen them used before but often the room just can’t carry the size and heft but in this instance, with such a large space, it makes sense and looks spectacular. There is no doubt the success of this project is in how the family uses the whole space.

The new kitchen, above, features a mosaic white marble tile backsplash and Caesarstone countertops. The homeowners were intimately involved in the whole process of choosing a design for their home, from deciding on storage spaces to choosing the colour of the stone. The bathroom, left, now includes a modern vanity and toilet, in addition to new flooring and a sleek, modern sink. Martin Knowles photos

The new eating area in the kitchen, below, features a beautiful view outside and complements the new backsplash and countertops. Martin Knowles photos

The family room is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Directly off the kitchen, the back wall was pushed back to open up the space and allow for more room. The television is now mounted on the wall and smart storage solutions appear all over the house. Martin Knowles photo

Brightening up your life with heritage paint By Maggie Calloway There is no getting around it, painting the exterior of your home is a big job whether you decide to tackle it yourself or hire a contractor. We have all heard of curb appeal, and the quality of the paint job, the colours you choose and where you put each colour can make the difference between a stunning exterior and one that just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. If you decide to paint it yourself, know that preparation is 80 per cent of the job. Tedious as it may be, taking the time to prep means your house will look great and the job will last. Make sure the wood is dry. In our climate it pays to wait until we have enjoyed a long string of sunny days, as painting over wet wood creates a world of problems, not the least of which is the new paint forming blisters. If you are painting over old paint, scrape off flakes with a wire brush and clean the surface. If there are bare patches, prime before painting. Check to see what kind of paint was used previously then take advice from the paint store about which paint to use. Buy the best paint you can afford; this is not the time to be frugal. You want your home to look fantastic now and for years to come. Is there an art in picking paint colours? Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting certainly believes so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been fortunate to be hired to paint the exteriors of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Painted Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the four heritage houses on West 10th (in Vancouver) and you can imagine how jarring it would be to get the colour balance wrong,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The colours are very bright and different on each house; they really make a statement.â&#x20AC;? We have all agonized over paint colours, especially for the exterior. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like making a colour mistake in the dining room which can be remedied in a day. Nyline says the problem is people are trying to make colour choices from a two- by two-inch paint chip,

which is impossible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You stand in a paint store and stare at thousands of colours, how are you supposed to put colours together?â&#x20AC;? Nyline says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First, take note of everything you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change; the roof colour and the colour of the stonework, the colour or your window trim if they are vinyl, etc. Next, (look at) the natural surroundings. If you have a ton of trees around the house that green foliage will impact how colour looks on your house. For instance, if you use paint with a red undertone on a north-facing house with lots of trees, in a certain light the house will have a slightly pink look to it. You have to paint large five-feet by five-feet samples of your preferred colour range on (a) board to get the proper impact of that colour on your house.â&#x20AC;? The moral of this story is take time. Time to do proper prep work, time to properly chose appropriate colours, time to do the best job possible, or hire someone who cares enough to do the same.

Heidi Nyline of Warline Painting believes that there is an art to choosing paint colours, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re for Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Painted Ladiesâ&#x20AC;?, left and below, or for a suburban home in need of a new look, below left. Submitted photos
