Jim Davies, 78, is back on the bike after a six-month recovery from a road rage incident in October that left him with a shattered pelvis.

Jim Davies is hoping to participate in Sunday’s Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx in Penticton. Hardly an achievement for someone who rides his bike up to 12,000 kilometres a year, and represented Canada at the 1954 British Empire Games in Vancouver and the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. But eight months ago Davies was wondering if he’d ever ride a bike again. That’s when a road-raging motorist

left him at the side of the road, along a popular cycling route in Steveston, his pelvis shattered. The injury, he says, was “about as bad as it could be.” Two surgeries to rebuild his pelvis with three plates and nine screws and then replace his hip put his body back together. His spirit was another matter. “I thought it was the end of my cycling career,” says Davies, 78, who started racing bikes in Stanley Park when he was 14 years old and won the ¿rst race ever held at the China Creek

Though police attended the scene, the driver was never charged.

A year after Burnaby council ¿rst asked TransLink to explain how it came up with its 2006 cost estimate for the proposed light-rail (LRT) version of the Evergreen line, it ¿nally got its answer. TransLink can’t ¿nd the numbers. Council originally made its request to TransLink but the transportation authority said it couldn’t answer the question because the provincial government is now in charge of the Evergreen line project. So the response came from Kevin Richter, assistant deputy minister in the infrastructure department of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. “TransLink did an extensive search for this information but was unable to locate the breakdown of costs associated with LRT technology from the 2006 business case,” Richter wrote.

Proposed changes to federal electoral boundaries could give an additional seat to Burnaby in the House of Commons. Whether the boundaries make sense otherwise is still up in the air. Burnaby-Douglas, currently represented by New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart, would become Burnaby North-Seymour and include North Vancouver District east of Lynn Creek. Burnaby South-Deer Lake would comprise most of Burnaby south of Lougheed Highway. Meanwhile, New WestminsterBurnaby East would include most of the Edmonds neighbourhood, roughly that section east of Grif¿ths and Sperling avenues and south of the TransCanada Highway, and all of the New Westminster mainland. Currently, the Royal City is split into two ridings along Eighth Street, Burnaby-New Westminster, held by New Democrat MP Peter Julian, and New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody, represented by the NDP’s Fin Donnelly. Under the proposal, however, the Queensborough neighbourhood would become part of Richmond East. The redistribution of federal ridings happens every 10 years to factor in the latest population numbers from the census. British Columbia will receive six additional seats bringing its total to 42. The “electoral quota” in B.C. is 104,763 residents per riding. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia “provisionally concluded” population growth on the North Shore made it necessary to amalgamate North

in any way think this is a done deal.” Back in 2002, he noted, the original proposal was to combine not only North Burnaby and North Vancouver, but also New Westminster with North Surrey. “There was a lot of reaction from the community there ... Those changes were both pushed back.” While some media reports say the Conservatives would have won more seats if the proposed ridings were around for the last election, Julian said he doesn’t see that as an issue, stressing the NDP are gaining support in areas they didn’t before. “It’s not the support that’s an issue as much, is it appropriate to group SFU with North Vancouver and the North Burnaby community with North Vancouver? I think last time, 10 years ago when we went through this exercise, the public said very clearly not,” Julian said. “Separating Queensborough away from New Westminster and putting it with Richmond, is that an appropriate approach? My sense from the community is no, that isn’t.” Julian said the next draft will likely be considerably different, and then he’ll speak with people in the ridings to decide which electoral district to run in. “I’m certainly interested in running in the next campaign,” he said with a laugh. The commission will hold public hearings beginning in September to gather feedback on the proposed changes. In Burnaby, it will be held Thursday, Oct. 18, 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express Metrotown. Anyone wishing to make a presentation at a hearing or submit a comment should inform the commission in writing no later than Aug. 30. For more information visit http://bit.ly/ LngY2J.

“I was really down,” says Davies of his long recovery that included six months on crutches. “I couldn’t even walk, let alone think about cycling.” But as he endured months of grueling physiotherapy, riding his bike again was never far from his mind. It’s what kept him going. On April 1, he ¿nally got back on the bike. The six-month layoff was the longest he’d endured in 64 years. “It was scary,” says Davies of that ¿rst ride. “It was nerve wracking to get into traf¿c again.” While he still has trouble walking, Davies is again a familiar sight riding through Burnaby, New Westminster and along River Road out to Richmond. He says he sticks to Àat routes because hills still give his rebuilt hip trouble. And he’s a little more wary about road riding’s unexpected dangers. “I never really thought that could happen,” says Davies. “It can happen to anybody.”

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Relief short lived Bill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of Bill 22 have been rendered moot, an agreement has been reached and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to ¿ght another day. While BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages. More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions that had been demanded by the employers, the BC Public School Employers’ Association. True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers with Bill 22 by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom. Still, it’s unlikely teachers will be satis¿ed given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. Some of these issues will be addressed through the courts in the hopes the judicial system will give teachers what the government will not while wages will remain a sticking point when negotiations resume. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out more money does make a difference to in the classroom — though there will never be enough cash to solve every issue. —Black Press

Whatever you do, talk to your child I’ll call them Alice and Adam, and Brianna and Brett. The mums are in their late twenties and the boys are three years old. They don’t know each other. Our Àight is cancelled and we are all stuck in the airport dimension for the day. Alice loves her iPhone and ignores her son, Adam. She bends over the phone for most of the time as we wait. He asks a thousand questions, but doesn’t get an answer. He has no toys or books. He climbs over and under the rows of chairs, he plays with the drinking fountain, he has chips and a can of pop. He whispers to himself. Brianna answers her son Brett’s questions. She points out the action on the tarmac: men, luggage and trucks. They count planes and discuss airline logos. While mum reads the newspaper Brett pulls cars from his backpack. He shares a book with the lady two seats over. He has grapes and offers some to Adam, but Adam turns away. Now that’s a surprise; I thought he would have wanted a playmate. Don’t most kids like grapes? Alice looks up from her iPhone for a

Anne Hopkinson moment but doesn’t speak. Adam returns to stroking the wall as he paces the perimeter of the room. Hours later, vouchers in hand, we meet the mums and sons in the restaurant. Hallelujah! Alice has put her phone away! She helps her son at the buffet table; she talks with him and hugs him in the booth as they eat. For 25 minutes Adam has her attention, and he loves it. He is beaming as she answers his questions, and they laugh when he tosses spaghetti at the window. Alice smiles at him and he kisses her cheek. Brianna reminds Brett about sitting while he eats, and wipes up spilled juice without a reprimand. He talks to the waitress and plays peek-a-boo with me between the booths. He goes for the pineapple and the meatballs. He brings me a

He rolls and twists, puts his feet up the wall, daydreaming and happy in his own world. We pass them as we leave an hour and a half later. I offer Adam a toy car and he looks to his mum for approval. But she says, “No, thanks.” Brianna follows Brett as he looks at First Nations art in glass cases. She tells him about narwhals and seals, hunters in kayaks, and Inuit families of stone. Brett waves to a young woman driving a motorized cart for disabled passengers. He gets a short and joyful ride. He heads for the kiosks and Brianna hurries to catch up as he grabs a chocolate bar. He pouts at her “No, put it back please,” and has a little tantrum when he is denied. Brianna crouches, and talks to him until he settles. In the seats in the corner she pulls out her iPad. He claps his hands and dives right in to play his games. Brianna works with him and they talk as they play. She looks tired, but then we all look

tired. Brett has a 15-minute nap. Alice and Adam return to the waiting room. She walks ahead focused on her iPhone, texting with one hand as he hangs on to her leg. She gently moves him off, never making eye contact. He rips into another bag of chips. Two boys, two mums, seven hours in an airport. You can’t predict for children how they will do in school, how they will experience life as they grow. But I predict this: Brett will have better language skills than Adam. He will interact more easily and learn more readily because of his con¿dence with language. Reading will be easier; he owns books, and he already thinks he can read. He has a good model in his mother; she reads, she interacts with other adults, and she responds to him—a big plus in school and in life. Mothers come in all stripes: a helicopter mum or a NegligentMother-of-the-Week winner, or a regular mum who is doing her best to be a good mother in her own manner. Whatever. You still have to talk to your child.

An unfortunate loss in Alzheimer care Readers—especially those who have dealt with Alzheimers disease—should know that Greater Vancouver possesses an excellent facility for the care/treatment of advanced Alzheimers. The Delta View Habilitation Centre, a private facility under contract with Fraser Health, provides high-quality—indeed, world-class care for dif¿cult dementia cases which cannot be handled elsewhere. Unique in the Fraser Health system, it is widely respected in the Alzheimers community. What readers may not know is that this unit is scheduled to close effective April 2013, leaving Fraser Health residents without a dedicated facility for high-level residential Alzheimers care. The issue is budget. High-level care is expensive. Delta View operates at a cost/bed already low by national/international standards. They absorbed recent cuts of around 10 per cent. Fraser Health now demands additional cuts. My wife suffers from

Alzheimers. We coped at home for eight years. In 2009, Ruth entered a regular Alzheimers residential facility. When her behaviour became unmanageable in spring 2011, she was transferred to Riverview for medical “stabilization.” When Riverview closed last fall, she moved again—to Oceanside (White Rock). We were admitted to Delta View in May of this year. I felt we had reached the promised land. The promised land is now being shut down. How has this been allowed to happen? Michael Wortis Burnaby

HOW DOES THAT WASH? When it was discovered that senior management at Community Living BC were giving themselves huge bonuses while cutting services and closing group homes, Premier Christy Clark ¿red then-minister Harry Bloy, and with new minister Stephanie Cadieux came on TV to announce the cancellation of those

“disgusting” bonuses. I guess I did not notice the “nudge, nudge, wink, wink” Clark and Cadieux made during that announcement because now we discover that Clark and Cadieux have just added those “bonuses” into senior management’s base pay, giving ¿ve and 10 per cent raises to managers already making six-¿gure salaries, while there is a net-zero mandate for front-line workers, and services are being cut, and disabled people put out onto the street. Since your provincial affairs columnist Tom Fletcher is the local BC Liberal apologist, I would love to see him spin doctor this one into a positive, and explain how making rich management richer helps the 18-year-old disabled person whose services are being taken away. Gordon Andru Burnaby

A CALLOUS BLOW TO REFUGEES Health care workers across Canada are vigorously protesting a legislative bill recently passed by the Harper government that is

not getting as much media play as it deserves. Bill C-31 amended the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) and brought to an end medication bene¿ts to refugees while they wait to qualify for provincial health care coverage. This bridging coverage is rarely needed for more than 12 months, but it is crucial for those with chronic and acute illnesses and no or little means to pay for medications themselves. By discontinuing the IFHP the federal government might as well have said that the responsibility of Canada - a country built on immigration - ends with the granting of refugee status. Part of the government’s argument is that the change will save about $10 million a year. That’s not only heartless, but it’s false economizing. First, denying medicinal bene¿ts to a segment of the population establishes an underclass in healthcare entitlement. Secondly, there will be a cost to hospitals as those with unmedicated conditions repeatedly turn up in emergency wards.

In other words, any federal cost savings will be made at the expense of provincial budgets. Winston Churchill is credited with saying, “You measure the degree of civilization of a society by how you treat its weakest members.” As a life-long Conservative, he’d no doubt be appalled that a party of the same name would act in such a callous manner. Bill Brassington Burnaby

Brenda Finlayson On viewing their new exhibition, The Gaze of History: Portraits from the Collection with Drawing Installation, I was delighted to ¿nd an intriguing mix of real and imagined faces of the former inhabitants of Ceperley Mansion drawn on the walls by contemporary Vancouver artist Elizabeth MacKenzie. Thought-provoking is almost an understatement for this exhibition.

MacKenzie’s subtle powdered graphite portraits complement and contrast with over 70 portraits selected from the Burnaby Art Gallery’s Permanent Art Collection. The Gaze of History probes the conventions of portraiture and the exchange of the gaze through drawing, printmaking, photography and painting. Picasso, Jack Shadbolt, Peter Morin and Ann Kipling are only a few of the distinguished artists represented in the BAG’s collection who will create dialogue between MacKenzie’s artworks, the past and present, the mansion and its uses, and most importantly between visitors as they engage with the artwork and string together narratives and ideas about the gaze. The overall effect creates a mysterious atmosphere that is sure to captivate everyone. It seems the man in Picasso’s print “Pour Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler” is certainly as intrigued as I am to meet the mansion’s former

inhabitants drawn by MacKenzie. The Gaze of History refers to the fascinating history of Burnaby’s Ceperley Mansion. The portraits make reference to the mansion’s former inhabitants from 1910-1966 prior to its conversion to the Burnaby Art Gallery in 1967. These real and imagined faces con¿rm the elusive nature of the past. Visitors to the gallery will develop their own stories when they interact with the faces as they play against the other art work hanging on the walls. Visitors may be surprised as the drawing installation extends beyond the gallery walls and faces mysteriously appear throughout the mansion, capturing the essence of its history giving an ethereal and timeless We’ll match it, PLUS give you 15% of the difference between what you quality to the portraits paid at Mainland Hearing and the lower price. even though, like history, they too will eventually If we don’t already have the lowest price, Mainland Hearing will match disappear. any valid B.C. competitor quote or advertised price on the same make

Opium bust leads to arrest One person has been arrested after Burnaby RCMP seized several kilograms of raw opium from a Burnaby home recently. The Burnaby RCMP drug section received a tip from Canada Border Services Agency, which led to the seizure of the illicit drugs, which were enough for about 100,000 doses. The investigation used surveillance and search warrants. Police are not releasing the name of the suspect as the investigation is continuing. The seized opium, which can be converted into heroin, is believed to have originated from the Middle East. The smoking of opium, known as “chasing the dragon,” is rapidly increasing in popularity, particularly among teenagers, say Burnaby RCMP. “While smoking opium may appeal to some as being less harmful than using heroin, the harmful effects of opium use can include respiratory dif¿culties, coma, cardiac collapse and dependence,” warned Burnaby RCMP drug section’s Sgt. Scott Rintoul.

Lakers leak in late going against Shamrocks

Juniors swamped by A’s, ’Rocks The Canada Day long weekend was not kind to the Burnaby Jr. Lakers getting outscored 27-10 in two games. On Sunday, the Àrst-place Coquitlam Adanacs defeated the Lakers 15-6 at Bill Copeland Arena. The Ànal score was actually closer than reality since the A’s led 12-2 and held a 43-19 shot advantage after two periods. In the third, Burnaby managed to outshoot Coquitlam 17-7 with Wade Galbraith scoring the Lakers’ Ànal three goals on the powerplay. Peyton Lupul, Bailey Matthew and Josh Simons also scored for Burnaby. The previous night in Victoria, the Shamrocks beat the Lakers 12-4. James Baker, Jaeden Gastaldo, Connor Buick and Colton Dow got the Burnaby goals. The Lakers are last in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League with a (3-16-0) record and complete the regular season with a game tonight (Friday) in Port Coquitlam and at home against New Westminster on Sunday (7 p.m.).

Lighthouse tourney to shine The third annual Lighthouse 7’s rugby tournament will hit the Àelds at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club on Saturday. The host club teams are the defending champions in both the men’s and women’s elite divisions. On the men’s side, Puget Sound from Washington State will feature two teams and will be led by former Fijian national player Waisele Serevi. The women’s division includes two teams from Seattle, including the Mudhens who won a recent 7’s tournament in Vancouver. • Despite Burnaby Lake’s Julia Sugawara scoring a try and converting it, Ontario defeated British Columbia 26-12 in the national women’s league championship Ànal in Quebec City.

Haberl helps out Burnaby’s Kelsey Haberl started off a last-inning rally that propelled Canada to the bronze medal at softball’s World Cup in Oklahoma City. With Canada trailing the Netherlands 8-7, Haberl led off the bottom of the seventh inning by getting on base when she was hit by a pitch. She later came around to score on a bunt by Joey Lye to tie the game with two out. North Delta’s Jenn Yee followed that up by slamming a three-run homer to give Canada an 11-8 victory. Haberl had another hit in the game and Ànished the tournament with a .333 batting average.

From chipped windshields to complete replacements come see the experts in glass and auto body repairs.

Canada began play at the Canadian Open in South Surrey against New Zealand on Wednesday. The tournament continues through the weekend before the national team goes to Whitehorse for the world women’s championship.

Giro di Burnaby Tips for spectators watching a Criterium WHY IS EVERYBODY RACING IN A TIGHT BUNCH?

Bicycle racers go faster and save energy by drafting one another, bene¿ting from a similar kind of pull that Nascar racers get by drafting each other. When the cyclists are stretched out that means that the racer’s at the front of the pack are really going fast and that the rest of the ¿eld are drafting off those riders, while struggling to stay together. When the racers are bunched up, that means that the pack has slowed down, but that is when a breakaway is most likely to happen! ARE THERE TEAM TACTICS?

Yes. Riders are part of a team with one or two designated “leaders,” or riders capable of winning the race. The rest of the team protects the leaders from crashes, keeps them at the front of the pack, and positions them for the ¿nal sprint. WHAT’S THE BELL-RINGING ALL ABOUT?

The bell signals to racers and spectators that there will be a sprint contest (or “prime,” pronounced preem) for money or prizes when racers cross the start/¿nish line on the NEXT lap. Spectators, including local businesses that would like some exposure, can donate a prize by handing the announcer cash during the race. Primes don’t have an effect on the ¿nal standings, but racers love to compete for them. It creates a sprint within the race and causes the speed of the whole pack to increase, making it more exciting and challenging.

course through your veins and a photo of Fausto Coppi doesn’t have a place of pride on your mantle, there’s still plenty to be excited about, says Rainy Kent, the Giro’s organizer. The countdown to the Giro kicks off with a screening of The Hard Road, a ¿lm about the hardscrabble existence of a North American bike racing team, at the Confederation Seniors Centre on July 5. Kent’s also working with HUB, a non-pro¿t cycling society, to create events for kids prior to the race. Local merchants in the Heights are also being encouraged to throw open their doors and contribute to the party; many are sponsoring “primes” which offer special cash bonuses to the winners of speci¿c laps and some of the restaurants are contributing to the volunteers’ dinner. “It’s fabulous to have this event in our neighbourhood,” says Kent.

The Giro di Burnaby is more than just a pack of lean athletes in tight spandex risking life, limb and serious road rash as they speed their lithe carbon ¿bre bicycles around a tight 1.3 kilometre course on unforgiving pavement. If that’s not enough to get your adrenaline pumping, the Giro is also a celebration of the Burnaby Heights community and its rich Italian heritage. Burnaby councillor Pietro Calendino, one of the race’s original exponents, says it’s a chance for some of the neighbourhood’s longtime residents to reconnect with their homeland. “It’s a great sense of pride and reconnecting with childhood memories,” says Calendino who recalls endless debates with his friends as to who was the greatest Italian cyclist, Fausto Coppi or Gino Bartali, as the country was riveted by the annual three-week spectacle of the Giro d’Italia. “There’s an attachment to the sport. It’s a passion inside you that you can’t describe.” That attachment has taken on a new dimension this year, as Victoria’s Ryder Hesjedal became the ¿rst Canadian to win the Pink Jersey that is awarded to the champion of Italy’s grand tour. “When I’m walking down the street, people are always asking me ‘when is the Giro?’” says Calendino of the excitement and interest generated by Hesjedal’s historic victory. “This will be the best year NEWSLEADER FILE ever for the Giro.” Cyclist Chris McKillican watches the men’s peloton speed by at a past Giro di Even if tomato sauce doesn’t Burnaby.

Giro di Burnaby

The Giro course runs between Madison and MacDonald avenues, on Hastings Street in Burnaby.

off each other, much like race cars in NASCAR. “If you have an idea about the strategy, you have a better idea about is going on during the racing,” says Rainy Kent, the Giro’s organizer. That strategy can include a team putting a rider in a breakaway that is trying to pull away from the main peloton so rival teams have to tire themselves out as they chase it down. Teams trying to catch a breakaway ride in a line, each cyclist creating a slipstream for the teammate behind them, saving them valuable strength so the group can pedal faster for longer. Riders without teammates will

often latch on to teams, or form alliances amongst themselves to gain the bene¿ts of working as a team. “It’s a team sport,” says Kent. “You learn to appreciate how these teams work together.” The race is also enlivened as the racers sprint to the ¿nish line at the end of some laps to win special cash prizes, or “primes,” sponsored by Heights’ merchants. “It gives them exposure,” says Kent of the business involvement. “It’s a fabulous way to say thank you.” And as dusk descends, listen for the bell. That’s the signal to the racers that they’re on the last lap and it’s make it or break it time.

To the casual observer standing behind the barriers along Hastings Street, the Giro di Burnaby looks like a pack of sinewy cyclists with unnaturally thick thighs trying to power their way to the front of the colourful pack. May the fastest man win. But there’s a lot more going on than sheer strength. The Giro di Burnaby is a criterium race. Unlike a road race where the peloton speeds from one town to another over the course of a long day in the saddle, rarely passing the same point twice, a criterium is held on a small, closed circuit that riders will lap dozens of times in about 90 minutes. It makes for plenty of thrills and chills and occasional spills as the racers jockey for position, exchange the lead and lean into tight, fast turns. To get to the front and stay there, though, takes a lot of team work and strategy. Most cyclists entered in the Giro will be part of a team. Working together they can save energy by dictating the pace of MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILE the peloton or drafting Cow bells are commonly used to cheer on the riders in cycling races.

Bosa Properties brings parking innovation to Jameson House

Parking without the hassle Bosa Properties is bringing innovation to one of life’s little annoyances with its automated parking system at its Jameson House development in Coal Harbour. “The parking garage would have been 12 levels” if Bosa had gone with a conventional parking system, says Senior Vice-President Daryl Simpson. There are 250 parking spots in the development, and two transfer stations to move the cars. Simpson says the wait time to park and retrieve the car is about two minutes, but it depends on how many others are waiting. “It’s quicker than driving around and around,” he says, adding that this

system is the first of its kind in Canada, and the second-largest in North America. Homeowners pull into the garage and drive their car onto one of the stations. Then, you lock their car and type in your PIN. You can then go up to your home while the machines move the car into one of the spaces below. When you want to retrieve your car, you go back to the garage and type in your PIN. Your car will appear, and you’re on your way. The homes at Jameson House are now sold out, but with the popularity of the automated parking system, it’s only a matter of time until the technology is used elsewhere.

adjust the thermostat and view the inside of your home from a video camera in the centre of the home. The Lakefront homes include some upgrades as standard items, including hardwood floors on the main level and granite countertops in the kitchen, among several other things. The screened porches at the Cottages are referred to as summer rooms, and overlook the landscape. They are perfect for a mid-summer snooze, catching up with a good book or a quiet cup of coffee watching the sunrise. There is no shortage of ways to wile away your time in Osoyoos. The surrounding area itself is rich in things to do, from touring the amazing nearby wineries to floating around on Osoyoos Lake. Hiking and biking trails are

abundant, or you can book a round of golf at one of the golf courses. If you’re around in the winter, winter sports on Mount Baldy are only about 40 minutes away, or you can venture a bit farther afield to Penticton’s Apex Mountain. The price has been one of the biggest draws for people who have already purchased a cottage. “Where else could you get a 930-square-foot detached home, a three-minute barefoot walk from the lake for under $305,000, including all applicable taxes?” asks Van Maren. “Our prices are lower than many new apartment condos that aren’t even on the water.” Cottages start at $305,000. For more information, visit osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

Spending the summer at the cottage

Waterfront living at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake by Kerry Vital

Whether you’re looking for a vacation spot for the whole family or a place to retire after years of hard work, you need look no further than The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, located right on the shores of the beautiful lake. “We found a spectacular waterfront property at a very affordable price, on Canada’s warmest lake,” says Eric Van Maren, Partner of Van Maren Construction Group. “Most people from B.C., and many from Alberta, are familiar with Osoyoos and have vacationed there in the past. A property like The Cottages just can’t be purchased in the Okanagan.” With over 1,500 feet of waterfront, 500 feet of beach, two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse, 20 acres of lawn, boat slips and walking trails, the Cottages are the perfect spot for families of all sizes. There are three different styles of home available, Van Maren says, and thus truly something for everyone. “The Meadow homes are most appealing for second-home buyers,” he says. “They have lots of open space between the homes where younger children can play with newly made friends. You’re never more than a few minutes walk to the lake and clubhouse.” The Lakeside homes are made for people who want to live right on the water, while the Hillside homes appeal to those looking for somewhere to live year-round, and are larger. There are 14 different two- to four-bedroom floorplans to choose from, ranging from 1,281 square feet

including the screened porch and open deck to over 3,000 square feet. Expansive windows on every home and cottage let the natural light pour in and allow you a beautiful view of your surroundings, while the nine-foot ceilings contribute to a great sense of space, no matter the floorplan or how many visitors you have. You will never feel cramped in the homes at The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. All of the homes offer wood-clad vaulted ceilings. Vinyl-plank flooring throughout the main living space (with hardwood as an optional upgrade) is ready to stand up to plenty of foot traffic, while the plush carpeting on the upper floors is soft and luxurious. Each home includes a Wireless Smart Home Automation/Security system, which allows you to remotely access your cottage from your smartphone, computer or tablet. It gives you the ability to lock or unlock your doors,

New mortgage rules roll out next week

A N N U A L

The government has announced that as of July 9, 2012, new rules will apply to government-backed insured mortgages where the borrower has less than a 20% down payment. The government will: • reduce the maximum amortization (payback) period on a mortgage to 25 years from 30 years; • lower the maximum amount borrowers can re¿nance to 80% loan-to-value (LTV) from 85%; • limit the gross debt service (GDS) ratio - the amount of household income spent on the mortgage, property taxes and heating to a maximum of 39% of income. The total debt service (TDS) ratio – the amount of household income spent on all debts including the mortgage to a maximum 44% of income; and • limit government-insured mortgages to homes priced at less than $1 million. Buyers of homes priced at $1 million or more must have a minimum 20% down payment.

The new rules apply to mortgages on residential property with four units or less. They do not apply to: • uninsured mortgages (those with a 20% down payment or more) which don’t require government-backed mortgage insurance; • borrowers renewing their existing insured mortgages, where there are no new funds being added to the mortgage; or • development or construction of multi-unit buildings of ¿ve units or more, owned by a landlord. REFINANCING

What will the new rules cost buyers re¿nancing a home valued

at $625,000? •Re¿nancing at 85%, home owner can access up to $531,250 • Re¿nancing at 80%, home owner can access up to $500,000

received after June 21, 2012 and before July 9, 2012 that do not conform to new measures must be funded by December 31, 2012.

FOUR YEARS OF TIGHTENING BORROWING RULES

Q: Will a purchase and sale agreement dated prior to July 9, 2012 be considered binding if there are outstanding conditions that have not been ful¿lled prior to July 9, 2012? A: Yes, if the date on the purchase and sale agreement is earlier than July 9, 2012, and a mortgage insurance application has been made prior to that date, the new parameters will not apply, even if the conditions of the agreement have not been ful¿lled.

This is the fourth time in four years that the government has tightened borrowing rules. • In 2008, the government reduced the maximum amortization period to 35 years from 40, required home buyers to have a minimum down payment of 5% (compared to the previous 0% down), and introduced new loan documentation standards. • In 2010, the government required all borrowers to meet standards for a ¿ve-year ¿xedrate mortgage, reduced the maximum amount borrowers could re¿nance to 90% from 95%, and for non-owner-occupied investment properties, required a minimum 20% down payment. • In January 2011, the government reduced the maximum amortization period for government-backed insured mortgages to 30 years from 35 years and reduced the amount borrowers could re¿nance to 85% from 90%. QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW MORTGAGE RULES

Q: What is required to qualify for an exception to the new parameters? A: The new measures apply as of July 9, 2012. Exceptions will be made to satisfy a binding purchase and sale, ¿nancing or re¿nancing agreement where a mortgage insurance application has been made before July 9, 2012. While the changes come into force on July 9, 2012, any mortgage insurance applications

Q: Will the new re¿nancing rules allow a borrower with a mortgage above 80 per cent loan-to-value (LTV) to re¿nance by extending the amortization period? A: No. Effective July 9, 2012, borrowers will not be permitted to re¿nance a mortgage above an 80 per cent LTV, unless the borrower has a binding re¿nance agreement dated prior to July 9, 2012, and a mortgage insurance agreement has been made prior to that date. Q: I have a written mortgage pre-approval from a lender, dated before July 9, 2012 with a 30-year amortization. Will I be eligible for a 30-year amortization if I don’t sign an agreement of purchase and sale until July 9, 2012 or later? A: No, a mortgage preapproval without an agreement of purchase and sale is not suf¿cient to qualify for a 30-year amortization. You may have a 30-year amortization only if your agreement of purchase and sale is dated before July 9, 2012 and you have made a mortgage insurance application before July 9, 2012.
