Student numbers drop for first time in 30 years

Tough talk for TransLink from Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts:

Road pricing or ‘we’re done’

But Surrey expects school enrolment will keep climbing going forward by Sheila Reynolds FOR THE first time in three decades,

by Jeff Nagel

METRO VANCOUVER mayors have set an end-of-

February deadline for the province to pony up a new funding source for TransLink or else they’ll axe a looming property tax hike and force transit service cuts. The four-month window for new talks – in light of Transportation Minister Mary Polak’s offer for speedy negotiations – was proposed by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and passed Thursday with most mayors in favour. “It’s all up to the province at this point,” Robertson said. “This puts the ball back in the B.C. government’s court.” But several mayors say they think there’s almost no chance Victoria will agree to a controversial new revenue stream Dianne Watts – such as a vehicle levy, road pricing or a higher carbon tax – just ahead of next spring’s provincial election and predict the decision simply stalls a final vote on killing the tax until March. “Who in their right mind would go into an election promising road pricing?” asked Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

the number of students attending Surrey and White Rock public schools has dropped. Figures for kindergarten to Grade 12 enrolment this fall show there are 72 fewer kids than this time last year. Surrey remains the largest school district in B.C. with 70,172 students, but had 70,244 last September. In a city where growth has been rampant – the city estimates approximately 12,000 new citizens move to Surrey annually – the enrolment decrease is surprising for school officials, who were expecting an increase of about 195 students. “It’s really too Laurae McNally early to even speculate where they (the students) are,” said Laurae McNally, chair of the Surrey Board of Education. She said significant growth continues in schools in the east of the city, such as Cloverdale and the Clayton neighbourhood, as well as in the South Surrey, in areas such as

Drop: A ‘blip’ for 2012-2013

Honouring Amanda Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil in Surrey’s Holland Park on Friday evening to pay their respects to Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd and other victims of bullying. Todd, 15, committed suicide two weeks ago after posting a video online detailing the relentless harassment she had endured. Vigils were held around the world Friday. Surrey’s was organized by the newly formed group Global Girl Power.

From page 1 Morgan Crossing and Rosemary Heights. “The numbers just didn’t show up, apparently, in the west and the north and we don’t know why,” McNally said, adding district staff is investigating possible causes. She noted that anomalies do happen, however, like three years ago when Surrey forecast an increase of 200 new students and 1,400 appeared. The school board had based its 2012-2013 budget on the projected increase of 195 students, so the 267 fewer students than expected means about $5.1 million less in operational funding from the Ministry of Education. Most of that would have covered hiring nearly 150 additional teachers, educational assistants and support staff to serve the anticipated additional students. But since they didn’t show up, those positions were not filled and the money not spent. Laurae Despite this McNally year’s “blip,” McNally said all indications are that school enrolment will grow by about 400-500 students for at least the next couple of years. And she said capital funding (dollars needed to build new school space) is still needed as Surrey still uses 265 portable classrooms. “It won’t affect our lobbying for schools because we’re still trying to play catch up from having five years of no capital. Government will not fund based on speculation. They need to see the whites of their eyes… and we have lots of those here already.”

Stewart: ‘Severe cuts’ to transit in the region

Richard Stewart

From Page 1 “They’ve got nothing that they can do for us that won’t have an adverse impact on their electability. For us to expect that somehow this government is going to develop the courage they’ve not shown in the last five years in the next four months is ridiculous.” The mayors’ council motion directs TransLink to prepare a revised plan that rescinds the property tax – transit service levels would depend on whether a new funding mechanism is agreed by the Feb. 28 deadline. But Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie predicts there will be no deal and TransLink managers will “beg us” in March not to kill the property tax hike to avert deep service cuts. Mayors agreed last year to the temporary property tax in 2013 and 2014, lifting the

average home’s bill by $23 to raise an extra $30 million a year, on the promise it would never actually be used because the province negotiate a new substitute source. That got derailed this spring when the premier said TransLink would have to be audited first. The audit reported this month and turned up some saving suggestions – which TransLink and the mayors doubt are all viable – but not enough to solve the cash crunch. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he thinks there’s a “slim chance” of a new deal with the province, but said it’s more likely the issue devolves into election finger-pointing. “In the meantime, we’ll have severe cuts to transit in this region, especially buses in the suburbs.” Representatives from Delta, Burnaby and

North Vancouver City were among those who voted against the resolution. North Vancouver Coun. Craig Keating, who is an NDP candidate in the election, called the province’s failure to deliver new funding a betrayal and “colossal abdication of leadership.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s time to clearly tell the province it must agree to provide road pricing as a new tool to fund TransLink or else “we’re done.” The resolution also says there should be no service cuts or sale of assets to fund operations. Bus service expansions that TransLink wants to proceed with include the Highway 1 RapidBus and a new B-Line express route in Surrey on King George Boulevard and 104 Avenue.

Road pricing viable but tricky in Metro Vancouver Regional tolling workable if public can be won over

by Jeff Nagel ExpEct insurmount-

able public opposition to a strategy of simply slapping tolls on existing bridges to fund TransLink. But charging every driver a lower and more broadly based charge on each kilometre travelled might work in Metro Vancouver – especially if it’s offset by a cut in some existing taxes. That was some of the advice Metro Vancouver leaders heard last Thursday from a panel of international experts at a forum on regional tolling organized by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. A road pricing system could include free home zones for motorists, who wouldn’t pay per kilometre charges until they cross a zone boundary into a different city. Someone in Surrey could drive within Surrey “all day long” but only pay if they cross a zone boundary into New Westminster, suggested Jack Opiola, a Virginia-based road tolling and transport policy consultant. “When I leave my home zone and travel into somebody else’s I know I pay a fee,” he said. “That way everybody pays their fair share.” Ideally, panelists said, road pricing could substitute for much of the existing gas tax, which is declining anyway, and possibly even reduce property tax a bit. “It’s going to be a tough sell to say we’re going to keep taxing you on your gas and ask you to pay a per-mile charge,” said Edward Regan, a transportation and tolling policy authority from Connecticut. “But if it’s one instead of the other that’s certainly much more viable.” The push by mayors towards road-use charges here springs from both TransLink’s troubled quest for sustainable funding and a growing sense among civic leaders that tolling just a couple of bridges is unfair and may inefficiently distort traffic patterns. Most other jurisdictions are grappling with some of the same challenges as TransLInk, particularly a gas tax that raises less money for transit each year as vehicles get more efficient and more electric cars hit the road. Panelists said several U.S. jurisdictions

ing the pain to motorists could include a $5 maximum cap on tolls paid in a day, or a certain number of free kilometres a day before tolls apply, the forum heard. The real question, Hallenback said, is whether the scheme can generate net new money for transit expansion, how much more local residents can afford to pay and whether they support the vision for an improved system. Road pricing has benefits other tax methods – like property tax – can’t deliver, the forum heard. It puts a direct price on putting a key in an ignition and driving away, which too many motorists view as essentially free, aside from gas. “You level the playing field, making transit more competitive with driving,” Regan said. By deterring some car trips, normally gridlocked bridges and other routes can also become free flowing, especially if rates vary by time of day to encourage more people to travel at offpeak hours. “You’re never going to get people to shift away from using their car to the train using property tax,” Regan added.

ONLINE DANGERS

Amanda’s tale

RAESIDE

he tragic tale of Amanda Todd is evolving by the minute. Sadly, it was several years of torment and abuse, as described on cue cards in her nine-minute YouTube video, that led her to take her own life last week, a month shy of her 16th birthday. It was not a sweet life, but one that has resonated around the world. It took a wrong turn when Amanda was coaxed into flashing her breasts while participating in an online chat several years ago. That photo was then repeatedly shared with her family and friends, teachers and strangers, after she refused to perform more. Every time she changed schools, it followed her, as did the taunts – “whore,” “porn star.” It’s difficult enough for teenagers to keep their heads up in the hallways if they have even a pimple on their face. Amanda must have felt like she was exposed at all times. She struggled with anxiety and panic disorder, depression, abused drugs and alcohol. She admittedly made poor decisions, which led to more abuse and bullying. She was physically assaulted, then tried to kill herself. Amanda received help. Police visited her and investigated, as they continue to do. We don’t know for certain what caused Amanda to take her own life. But bullies are being blamed, and possibly an online pedophile. The overarching story here is the role electronic information sharing played in this tragedy and the dangers of it. From the chat room, to group emails, to social media, to YouTube, to endless text messages, information can be shared in an instant. People aren’t as forgiving on the other side of a screen as they are in person. And as Amanda said herself, she could never get the photo back. There will always be bullies as long as there are people more vulnerable than them. We can teach our younger ones to watch out for them, to be careful, how to avoid pitfalls, and help pick them up and brush them off when they do stumble. We can teach them many things. But let’s not forget compassion. – Black Press

here was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday. I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry.

Smokers put young asthma patient at risk A home In The spring of 2010, our then-eight-year-old

son had a very serious bout of asthma that had him hospitalized for two days. A few days after being released, we took him to the respiratory clinic at Surrey Memorial Hospital for an asthma evaluation. Getting into the respiratory clinic we had to walk through at least six people standing near the entrance smoking. Most of them were dressed in scrubs which indicates they are hospital employees.

There were numerous signs all around advising it was a non-smoking area, but they were being totally ignored. Cigarette smoke is one of the biggest asthma triggers for our son and he did experience a mild asthma attack. We complained to the receptionist in the clinic and were informed that they get a lot of similar complaints but they couldn’t do anything because the security personnel had no authority over employees on this.

Upon leaving the clinic, there were even more smokers outside the door. We took one step outside and had to turn around and go back in to find another way out of the clinic.

Tanning bed rules will save lives The CanadIan Cancer Society,

B.C. and Yukon, supports and applauds the B.C. government for putting regulations in place to ban youth under 18 from using tanning beds. The regulations, announced recently by B.C. Minister of Health Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid, are now in effect. Businesses that do not comply with the regulations will face a $345 fine. Research has shown that overexposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and indoor tanning equipment is the major cause of skin cancer. The use of indoor tanning equipment before the age of 35 increases the risk of melanoma by 87 per cent. Melanoma – the most serious form of skin cancer – is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in youth between the ages of 15 and 29. Youth are particularly vulnerable when it comes to tanning and cancer risk. These regulations are supported by a vast number of British Columbians who want to protect young people from getting skin cancer later in life. Findings from a 2011 survey, commissioned by the Canadian Cancer Society and conducted by Mustel Group Market Research, showed that 75 per cent of B.C. residents would support legislation banning indoor tanning for youth under 18. The Canadian Cancer Society has been actively calling for a provincial

‘Renoviction’ fears very real for the poor

The renoviction epicentre, the West End of Vancouver, got well under way about a decade ago; it’s been slowly creeping outward since. Where can a renter there possibly

Why does city select which rules to enforce? Why doeS the City of Surrey permit slack enforcement on building contractor operations within its city limits? If it’s not derelict property or property owners absolving themselves from maintaining their property, it’s out-ofcontrol building contractors and developers who unlawfully log trees that are meant to stay in place for landscapes. It’s also contractors that use noisy polluting gas electrical generators when electrical power by Hydro is readily available, or dusty and muddy roads left muddy by contractors when they have completed building operations in our residential areas of Clayton Heights. Why does city hall select enforcement of rules for certain activities, but ask everyone else to follow parking rules or noise rules, or permit vacant derelict residential property to pose dangers for children playing in the area?

man’s suggested solution to reducing tunnel traffic by implementing small tolls would obviously only cause even more congestion on the East/ West Connector and Alex Fraser Bridge during peak periods. Would his suggestion then be to also begin to charge tolls on the Alex Fraser Bridge? Creating increased and enhanced public transportation options is an excellent strategy to provide more options for some segments of the travelling public, however, many occupations and lifestyles require personal vehicles to carry out daily life and responsibilities. To penalize this segment of people for having different occupational and personal needs than other people, who only need to go from point A to point B, seems unfair. There really has to be a holistic understanding and consideration of the various segments of the travelling public to implement transportations policies that are beneficial, fair and equitable to everyone.

for tomorrow Tulips: perennials or annuals?

That is certainly the case if you live in the corridor between Northern China and Southern Europe, where they originated. Holland has mastered the art by subjecting their stock to a series of heat and humidity treatments every summer before the bulbs are planted. This way, growers can reproduce the tulips’ native habitat.

the sweet little critters. I also try to intersperse some alliums throughout, as squirrels do not like the smell. When they are finished blooming in the spring, I cut the tulips back to about 4” to allow the bulb to get enough energy to build up for next spring. Some people wait till the leaves all turn yellow but I must admit I am a bit impatient and don’t like the dying leaves, so the 4” rule seems to work just fine for me. I also help them along with another shot of bone meal or bulb food.

Top cops honoured Annual Police Officer of the Year Awards held last week

by Kevin Diakiw The Top Mounties of the year were named at an annual event at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel Thursday. The Surrey Board of Trade-hosted event was the 16th annual Police Officer of the Year Awards. The top awards were given to the following: • The Police Officer of the Year Award, Nominated by Peers, went to Const. Mark Levesque, who is a popular figure in Cloverdale, according to his nomination. Shortly after he arrived in the district, he introduced himself to the business community and told them if they had concerns, he would make himself available for assistance. Due to his commitment and work ethic, Levesque was able to solve several outstanding theft cases. • The Police Officer of the Year, Nominated by the Community, is StaffSgt. Scott Campbell. Campbell was lauded

for making a significant difference in Whalley. According to nominators, his quiet, collaborative approach is already making an impact in the relatively short time he’s been at District 1 (Whalley). He has encouraged individual RCMP members to “adopta-business,” meaning they drop in on specific businesses on a regular basis to ensure things are running smoothly. He also organized the first street clean-up, more of which have been organized by community leaders and the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association. • Volunteer of the Year Award was given to Merril Turpin, a Surrey RCMP District 2 volunteer for the past four years. He’s highly involved in the Speed Watch Team, making the streets safer. Turpin volunteers double and sometimes triple the expected commitment of an RCMP volunteer. • The Auxiliary Constable of the Year Award

Through his own initiative, Aasebo facilitated three free parent information sessions in both the Cloverdale and Newton areas. These two-hour sessions offered parents an opportunity to learn how to “speak teen.” • The Police Team Award goes to the RCMP Child Abuse and Sexual Offence Unit (CASO). The CASO unit has been instrumental in the creation of Sophie’s Place – a Child Advocacy Centre for collaboratively interviewing child victims of physical and sexual abuse.

PDG celebrates over 40 years providing quality care

Seventy-one-year-old Jim Stevens perished in a float plane crash last week.

‘Arizona Jim’ loved to fly Surrey pilot dies in crash

by Phil Melnychuk

Jim StevenS loved to fly.

The man killed in the float plane accident Oct. 15 was “a man among men and a gentle giant whose instructional capabilities, were beyond exception,” said Chris Georgas, owner of Pacific Rim Aviation Academy. Stevens, 71, of Surrey, died when the Cessna 172 float plane, in which he was instructing, flipped over on Pitt Lake. He had been demonstrating touch-and-go landings when the accident occurred in stormy weather. His 55-year-old student pilot survived after clinging to the pontoons of the overturned plane for about an hour, until

his rescue by a passing boater. Georgas said Stevens was known at the flight centre at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport as “Arizona Jim” because of his yearly excursions to the U.S. He also was known as “Grandpa Jim” to his kids and grandchildren and was a friend, respected colleague and dedicated co-worker. Georgas remembered him in his hat, black jacket, life vest with a lunch box and rubber gum boots that he wore anytime his students were about to solo in his blue float plane. Georgas said the Transportation Safety Board is continuing to investigate the accident.

Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowledged at a Vancouver news conference that changing the culture of confrontation between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in contract disputes and court actions in recent years. “Our first goal is longterm labour stability with teachers in British Columbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government interacts and works with the BCTF. These two goals will require compromise on all sides

of the table, including ours.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said she welcomes the review of the bargaining structure, but is skeptical about the latest promise of meaningful consultation. “It seems to me that talk of a 10-year contract is putting the cart before the horse,” Lambert said. “There seem to be conclusions drawn that would be properly a product of the bargaining table and not a product of a discussion on the bargaining structure.” The offer comes as the BCTF continued a court challenge to a two-year wage freeze that extends until June 2013.

done by a task force of school trustees, and two previous reviews completed by independent mediators. In his 2007 report, mediator Vince Ready said the union and the province’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, need a system for agreeing on the financial costs of various proposals before they can hope to settle contracts. McRae said he has talked with Lambert about the proposal, and he wants to have consultations with teachers, trustees, parent advisory councils and administrators complete by the end of November. “If there are policy changes or legislative amendments that we need to make, we want to get this work done before bargaining resumes next spring,” McRae said.

Canada’s biggest “small” business success story Founded 90 years ago by two brothers who originally set out to sell tires, homemade antifreeze and a small range of automotive parts, Canadian Tire just may be Canada’s biggest “small” business success story. In 1922, with a combined savings of $1,800, brothers John and Alfred Billes bought a tire and automotive garage. Choosing the name Canadian Tire, because “it sounded big,” the brothers quickly began receiving inquiries from people across the country looking for hard to come by automotive parts. With a knack for providing its customers with innovative products and

solutions, today, Canadian Tire and its associate dealers have grown to include more than 1700 retail and gasoline outlets across the country. “But, don’t let the name fool you,” says Canadian Tire Manager Kevin Mauthe. “While we still have all the tools and everything you need to keep your automobile in top shape, today, we are just as well known for sports and leisure items, as well as kitchen, bath, and home and garden products.” Gearing up for the holiday season, as usual, Canadian Tire is chockfull of everything needed to ring in the festivities. From a huge selection of

decorations—including 110 different styles of indoor and outdoor lights—to scented candles, seasonal tableware, as well as gift ideas for absolutely everyone on the list.

“Canadian Tire is like having a whole bunch of stores under one

roof. People love that they can come in and get necessities such as cleaning supplies, paper products, coffee makers, vacuums, and aluminum foil, while at the same time,

find everything from tools to camping gear, hockey equipment, treadmills,

toys, wine glasses, pictures, vases and even baby furniture. We also offer assembly & delivery.” For maximum convenience, Canadian Tire offers a complete automotive centre providing a comprehensive list of products and automobile maintenance and repair services. From tune-ups and scheduled maintenance to batteries, new brakes, and, of course, tires, Canadian Tire is the one-stop-shop for multitaskers. With the cooler temperatures settling in, Canadian Tire offers a number of ways to keep the family cozy and warm this season. In addition to programmable

thermostats and free standing heaters, its stylish line of electric fireplaces will not only heat everyone up, they’ll add a charming element of sophistication to any room in the house. A less expensive alternative to gas, simply plug in and enjoy. Located locally in three convenient locations: Newton, Whalley and on Scott Road, Mauthe says Canadian Tire’s success is built on the fact that it always focuses on the customer and makes a point of being a leader in introducing new and innovative products. “Canadian Tire is also ‘going green,’ said Mauthe. “We’re offering a line of green products and solutions for home— everything from low energy light fixtures to energy efficient light bulbs and biodegradable cleaning products.”

And, while Canadian Tire has grown to offer an incredibly diverse collection of products and services, you can still also find the best value on tires and automotive accessories around. From its humble beginnings to one of Canada’s bestknown and most successful retailers, Canadian Tire, your country salutes you.

Kudos for growing minds

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Lucy Brain and Grace Augustinowicz, both enrolled in

Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s new bachelor of science in sustainable agriculture program, are the first recipients of the Mary Hartwell Memorial Scholarships awarded for $2,500 each. The awards were given last month at the White Rock Farmers’ Market by David Hawkins, husband of the late Mary Hartwell. “As an enthusiastic, burgeoning, urban farmer, I’m thrilled and grateful that scholarships such as the Mary Hartwell Memorial Fund exist to support those of us striving to make a difference in the health and sustainability of our communities and their citizens,” said Brain. “Through my studies I am excited to participate in the movement that is bringing food production to the forefront of community life.” “We are extremely pleased and honoured that two students enrolled in our new sustainable agriculture degree program have been awarded Mary Hartwell Scholarships,” said Kent Mullinix, director, sustainable agriculture and food security, Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The Mary Hartwell Scholarship Fund was created in memory of Mary Hartwell, a director and passionate supporter of the White Rock Farmers’ Market Society and its vendors. The scholarship is open to students who have, or will have, completed high school, and who plan to take courses leading to a career in health, nutrition and/or organic farming.

Howling for hunger Students ‘trick-or-treating’ for food bank in Clayton area Black Press Clayton HeigHts Sec-

ondary School Secondary Students will once again be canvassing the Clayton area for donations of non-perishable food items on Halloween night.

The school’s Project Equal – which is a student-led fundraising project – was created to provide aid to communities in developing nations as well as helping people in Surrey. This year, about 80 students will be out in

the Clayton neighborhood between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Oct. 31, going door-to-door asking for non-perishable food items that will then be given to the Surrey Food Bank. Last year, the group’s donations were the start

of the Christmas food drive. Students collected more than 3,000 food items in 2011 and are hoping to double that this year. For more information, email dani. cowburn@gmail.com or daintrey_s@sd36.bc.ca

A movie with buzz Earthwise Society screens Vanishing of the Bees

Black Press Bee speCies are endangered and

vanishing. Without pollinators, such as bees, we could lose a third of the food in our diet. Want to learn more? Earthwise Society invites you to attend a screening of Vanishing of the Bees on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at Firehall Centre for the Arts, 11489 84 Ave.

A Big Phat Indian clothing drive Black Press Big pHat Indian Wed-

dings are starting their collection early for their fourth-annual Warmer Winter Clothing Drive. Last year, two weeks of collecting netted more than 4,000 pieces of warm clothing that were donated to the needy in one afternoon. Their goal is to collect more than that for distribution on the afternoon of Nov. 25 outside the Surrey Central Skytrain Station. Needed are jackets, sweaters, hats, scarves, mittens/gloves, socks, blankets, T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, sweat shirts and sweat pants. If you have items to donate, the deadline is Nov. 23. Bring the items to the North Surrey Recreation Centre, call 604-897-4102 or emailwarmerwinter@ bigphatindianweddings. com. If you’re interested in volunteering to distribute the items, leave a message with your contact information no later than Nov. 19.

Learn more about the disastrous affects that the disappearance of the bees would have on your diet and what you can do to help prevent the vanishing of the bees. Plants that produce gourds, such as melons and squashes, are also dependent on bees for propagation, making bees a keystone species. At the same time, how we choose to live on earth and

interact with all of its inhabitants, both plants and animals, affects bee populations. Seating is limited at this screening. Tickets are $5 in advance or $10 at the door. For more information about the screening or Earthwise’ Feed the Bees Program, call 604-946-9828 (ask for Joni), email info@earthwisesociety.bc.ca or visit www. earthwisesociety.bc.ca

Home ice advantage has pushed the North Delta Devils into third place in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. North Delta defeated the Abbotsford Pilots 3-1 Saturday night in the Sungod Arena for their fifth win in six games at home, and moved up one position in the Tom Shaw Conference standings. The Devils record improves to 6-7-0-0 (won-lostovertime loss-tied), tied with the 5-6-1-1 Grandview Steelers and a point up on the 5-5-0-1 North Vancouver Wolf Pack. Although outshot 29-20, North Delta never trailed against the Pilots, and while leading 2-1 after 40 minutes, they hung on to the lead with goaltender Steve Myland stopping all 17 shots he faced in the third period while Abbotsford pressed for a tying goal. Myland, a Cloverdale native, was named the first star in Saturday’s contest and now has a 3-1-0-0 record in four games played for the Devils this season. North Delta native Arvin Atwal, 16, gave the home team a 1-0 lead 11 minutes into the game, but Abbotsford tied the score with a shorthanded goal three minutes later. Kurt Thrussell, playing his first game in a Devils uniform, scored the winning goal midway through the second period. Levi De Waal added an insurance goal into an empty net with eight seconds to play. Both teams failed to score on the power play, with Abbotsford having six opportunities to North Delta’s four. The Devils were in Port Moody last night (Monday)

for a game with the 3-8-0-0 Panthers, then will be on the road again for two games next weekend, playing the 4-5-0-1 Ridge Meadows Flames Friday night and North Vancouver on Saturday.

Toews’ hat trick leads Eagles to overtime win BCHL team defeats Vernon Vipers, Trail Smoke by Nick Greenizan A two-win weekend

for the Surrey Eagles could have very easily ended with losses instead, but the BC Hockey League team engineered a late-game comeback in one game and scored in doubleovertime in another to emerge with four points. Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles fell behind the visiting Vernon Vipers 3-1 through 25 minutes – and were badly outshot in the bargain – before newcomer Brady Shaw helped launch the comeback attempt. Shaw, a 20-year-old forward acquired Thursday in a trade with the Coquitlam Express, made it 3-2 with just 15 seconds left in the second period, and then scored 1:46 into the third to tie the game. Defenceman Craig Wyszomirski and North Delta native Demico Hannoun added third-period goals to help the Birds snare the victory. Colton Mackie had the Eagles’ first goal, and Brett Mulcahy added two assists in the 5-3 come-frombehind win. Michael Santaguida earned the win between the pipes for the Eagles, stopping 30 of 33 shots he faced. Sunday’s game against the Trail Smoke Eaters – who were coming off two earlier road losses on Vancouver Island – was equally as dramatic, as the team squads traded goals back and forth. The Smokies led 4-3 with 2:03 left in the game, when Eagles’ blue-liner Eric Chevrier tied the game and sent it to overtime. And in the threeon-three second OT session, defenceman Devon Toews scored his third goal of the game to give the home team the win. Toews also scored in the second and third period, and added an assist, leading an offense that was keyed almost entirely from the back end – all

five of the team’s goals were scored by defencemen. In addition to Chevrier’s tying marker and Toews’ trick, Craig Wyszomirski also found the back of the net. Semiahmoo Minor Hockey product Mason Blacklock and Hannoun chipped in with two assists apiece, while another Semiahmoo alum, goaltender Glenn Ferguson, stopped 34 shots on net. The two victories

were the first time all season the Eagles had finished a weekend slate above the .500 mark. The four points also bumped them out of the Mainland Division basement, one point up on the Langley Rivermen, and just five back of the divisionleading Chilliwack Chiefs. The Eagles are back on home ice Friday night when they host the Rivermen at 7 p.m. in th South Surrey Arena, and the

two teams play again Saturday – this time at 7:15 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre. BLUE LINES: The Eagles sent captain Brandon Morley, 18, to the Coquitlam Express in a trade last week, acquiring 20-year-old forward Brady Shaw. Morley was named the Eagles’ top rookie two seasons ago after he posted 47 points in 49 games in 2010-11. This season, Morley had yet to score, posting zero goals and five assist in 11 games.

Rucking For a Cure aims to tackle cancer

We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports. KidSport™ provides support to children in order to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport.

Beavers Athletic Association will be taking on three opponents at Sullivan Heights Park on Oct. 27, while raising funds in the fight against great cancer. “It wouldn’t be a breast cancer fundraiser without a little pink,” said former player and current club president Rob Brown, announcing Rucking For A Cure. “Our guys will be wearing pink socks and jerseys for each of the games.” The public is invited to

watch the rugby matches and grab a hot dog and pop, which will be available by donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. Division one, two and three matches will be played at 11:30am, 1:00pm and 2:30pm, rain or shine. Following the games, the pink jerseys (donated Cariboo Brewing) will be up for auction at the Surrey Beavers clubhouse, the Beaverlodge. All money raised will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in support of breast cancer. Executive member and first

division player Nick Bruce presented the idea of a cancer fundraiser to the club executive a few months back. “All of us – in some way, shape or form – have been affected by cancer,” he said. “It goes without saying, this is a terrible disease with a broad impact.” The Surrey Beavers’ clubhouse is located at 17395 57th Avenue, Surrey. Donations to Rucking For A Cure can also be made through the Canadian Cancer Society at http://cancerevents.kintera.org/ ruckingforacure.

New house, new issues

A good home inspector will be able to root out any deficiencies hiding in your new home.

By Maggie Calloway Most of us know it is essential to get a home inspection prior to buying a home; this essential step is to shield us from taking on someone else’s nightmare. Among other things a home inspection should alert us to are deficiencies not just on the surface but hidden in the walls such as bad plumbing, electrical wiring, and heating and cooling systems. But we have all seen episodes on TV

Design from the ground up Building a custom home takes a lot more than just choosing the perfect location. By Kerry Vital

Natural gas can also heat your hot tub or pool, which is especially important when it’s cool outside. The water will be heated consistently and quickly, so your relaxation can begin almost immediately. Canada is the world’s third largest producer of natural gas, so it is an abundant source of energy, as well as being extremely popular. Natural gas meets 30 per cent of Canada’s energy needs, according to FortisBC. It is also a cleaner type of energy, emitting almost 30 per cent less carbon dioxide than oil. Another fantastic benefit to natural gas service

Building a custom home can be a wonderful experience, but it can also be not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking into building a brand-new home that is custom designed from the ground up, the first thing you need to do is find a reputable builder who has plenty of experience. “Don’t go for the cheapest or the one who just got started,” says Ivan Krpan of Dakota Holdings Custom Home Builders. “References are essential. Many people have had bad experiences, so it’s really important to choose the right builder.” When you’re hiring a builder, it’s very important to be comfortable with him or her, because you will have a lot of contact in the next several months. Krpan says it generally takes about 10 months from start to finish, so if you’re not happy that time will be crawling by and you will be adding extra stress to your life on top of the usual emotions that come with any renovation. “The builder must be willing

If you’re looking to reduce your environmental footprint, natural gas is a great way to do that. With increased energy efficiency and cost savings, homeowners who install a natural gas system will find many benefits. Submitted photo

The comfortable choice: natural gas Natural gas has become a popular choice in Canada, for a variety of reasons. By Kerry Vital Natural gas is rapidly becoming a popular way of powering your home, for a large variety of reasons. One of the benefits of natural gas according to FortisBC is its convenience factor. Natural gas is available at the push of a button, so you don’t need to worry about running out of fuel for your barbecue, or having to wait for your fireplace or

outdoor firepit to get hot. It is easy to find stylish and functional appliances that use natural gas, so homeowners never have to sacrifice their sense of style. Imagine coming home from a long day at work and being able to sit in front of your natural gas-fuelled fireplace with a glass of wine, or toss together a gourmet meal for a dinner party with your gas cooktop or oven. That dream is easily made possible with a natural gas system. One of the great things about a natural gas cooktop and oven is its ability to cook food evenly. You will no longer have to worry about burning one side of the pan while the other is undercooked.

Partial proceeds of all KitchenAid appliances sold at Coast in October will be donated to “Cook For The Cure”.

A natural gas system has many benefits for homeowners, from cost to convenience “ from page.1

is the value it adds to your home. Because of its popularity and other benefits, it can contribute to a better resale value for your home. While you’re living in your home, having natural gas services make it easier to convert other appliances to natural gas when your budget permits. Homeowners with natural gas service will be interested in the rebates that are available through FortisBC in a variety of categories. The first is for space and water heating. You can receive a $1,000 rebate for swapping your oil or propane heating system to natural gas and installing a new ENERGY STAR™-rated high-efficiency heating system. Replacing your old water heater with a qualifying natural gas ENERGY STAR™ model will also make you eligible for a rebate of up to $500. “Heating water can consume 20 to 25 per cent of a home’s total energy use,” says Beth Ringdahl, program manager, energy efficiency and conservation for FortisBC. “So when it comes to looking at natural gas-powered water heaters, it makes sense to get the most efficient model you can find. Some of the new technologies make it possible to get a tank-less model, which is a bonus for smaller spaces.” In the appliances category, homeowners who buy a qualified ENERGY STAR™ washing machine will receive a $75 rebate if they purchase the new machine by Dec. 31. ENERGY STAR™ washing machines use 35 to 50 per cent less water, just as one of their benefits. Keeping warm with an EnerChoice fireplace will net you a $300 rebate if you purchase it by May 31, 2013. EnerChoice fireplaces must have a minimum of 62.4 per cent efficiency rating for a fireplace, 61 per cent for an insert and 66 per

cent for a free-standing stove. Not having to keep a supply of firewood on hand is just one more great thing about having a natural gas fireplace. Those in low-income households are able to take advantage of the Energy Conservation Assistance Program, which offers a free home energy evaluation, free installation of energy saving products and personalized advice. If you are a FortisBC natural gas customer, a BC Hydro customer and live in a low-income household, you can apply on the FortisBC website. “FortisBC offers a number of energy-efficiency incentives that help homeowners get the most out of their natural gas appliances and space heating,” says Ringdahl. “For example, FortisBC is a partner in the LiveSmart BC program for whole home retrofits. This provides homeowners energy audits that point out easy ways to make energy-efficient improvements and rebates to save on energy costs.” However, rebates are not the only way homeowners save with a natural gas system. FortisBC states that natural gas heating equipment such as furnaces are 98 per cent efficient, so heating costs are lower than with other types of systems, such as oil or propane. A natural gas water heater heats water more efficiently than other methods, and can dramatically bring down your heating costs. For more information about natural gas services, check out FortisBC’s website at www. fortisbc.com. In-depth rebate information can be found there, as well as information about the types of appliances available to homeowners, more benefits of natural gas and information on accessing your FortisBC account.

Natural gas has become a popular method of heating, cooking and barbecuing, just to name a few. FortisBC offers many rebates for homeowners with a natural gas system, so check out their website for more information. Submitted photos

Don’t settle for subpar “ from page.1

of Mike Holmes going into homes after they have been given the thumbs-up by incompetent home inspectors and that is what gives us nightmares. What you may not be aware of is that British Columbia is the only province in Canada where it is mandatory for home inspectors to be licensed. What you are looking for is an inspector who has extensive experience in the building trade, who has completed the required specific education to qualify as a home inspector and is a member in good standing of industry professional associations such as The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, British Columbia Institute of Property Inspectors, Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTTBC), and for good measure, a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau of B.C. Buying a home is the biggest financial commitment most of us will make in our lifetime so there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to checking out qualifications. What Mike Holmes is fighting for is already in place in our beloved province and has been since 2009. The ASTTBC lists several questions that you should ask when hiring an inspector, including how long he or she has been in business as an inspector, if the company has references, how long it will take to complete the inspection and what he or she charges. If there is a problem with any of the above questions or the inspector is reluctant to comply with your request, walk away. There is too much at stake to take any chances and reluctance to answer your questions is a red flag that shortcuts will be taken. Mandatory licensing in B.C. has made a dif-

ference in the market place, according to home inspector Glenn Duxbury. “It was like the wild west out there, just as it is in many other provinces to this day. Anybody with a ladder, a flashlight and a business card could go out there and say they are a home inspector with no training, no accountability,” he says. “When I started about 10 years ago, even before mandatory licensing, I followed the advice of a seasoned inspector and went to BCIT which at the time was the only institute offering a course in home inspection and after graduating I worked for a respected company before going out on my own.” Now things are much more tightly controlled. Along with mandatory licensing, insurance must be in good standing and should a homeowner buy a home after receiving a flawed inspection, the insurance will cover any remedial work.

Home inspector Glenn Duxbury says that the mandatory licensing for home inspectors in B.C. has gone a long way towards preventing disreputable inspections. It is important to check out foundations, attics and plumbing when purchasing a home. Martin Knowles photos

Keeping the fires burning during the cold season By Maggie Calloway There is nothing as comforting after a day in the trenches as a fire. There is probably some primitive part of our brain that equates the warmth of a fire with safety and comfort. Whatever your personal choice or circumstances, there have never been such a variety of fireplaces available. Even if you live in a condominium, where it would be frowned upon if you started opening the walls to accommodate a chimney, there is now a great solution. Ethanol burning fireplaces, which give off no heat but have a real flame look, don’t require venting or gas lines and are a great choice for condos and give real ambiance to your living space. “Electric fireplaces have come a long way over the last few years,” says Dale Fougette of Fireplaces Unlimited. “They used to be a bit stiff and unrealistic but now they are sometimes mistaken for a gas fireplace in the showroom. You can now get an electric fireplace with a long linear look instead of the square box with the traditional log and you can just plug it in. There are also options; you can heat a condo or a basement suite when hard-wired to a higher voltage. Another advantage of an electric fireplace is they don’t have to be installed on a special surface, they are all pretty well zero clearances, they can be framed with wood and you can drywall right up to them. They are very safe.” Gas fireplaces are becoming standard in most townhouses and condos and there is something to be said for just having to flick a switch instead of lighting a fire from scratch. “There are also a lot of zero clear-

ance gas fireplaces that can sit on combustible floors, not to be confused with gas inserts that have to be totally surrounded by non-combustible material,” says Fougette. “This is an example of why it is so important to advise us about which application you are planning.” No matter what the style of your home there is a design that would work beautifully but what if you what you are looking for is not available? “We do a lot of custom fireplaces both for commercial applications and homes,” says Fougette. “There is pretty well no limit to what we can design from multi-sided fireplaces to overheight installations. All shapes and sizes, pretty well whatever you can dream, it can be made for you.”

There are a variety of fireplace styles available, says Dale Fougette of Fireplaces Unlimited, left. If you can’t find something to suit you, you can have something designed to fit the space.

Technology making its mark on wallpaper with custom designs By Maggie Calloway If wallpaper has always been an afterthought in your design plans you may be surprised to learn there is actually a serious wallpaper design society based in England. This is not someone’s eccentric aunt with a houseful of wallpaper samples. Founded in 1986, the Wallpaper History Society was established to promote an awareness and understanding of historic and contemporary wallcoverings. Their website states “Our scope is broad and encompasses not only the history of wallpapers but also topics relating to other types of wallcoverings, the subject of interior decoration as a whole and the increasing role which digital technology plays in design.” William Morris, a wallpaper and textile designer who is still a huge influence on style in this century, said, “Whatever you have in your rooms, think first of the walls for they are that which makes your house and home, and if you do not make some sacrifices in their favour you will find your chambers have a kind of makeshift, lodging-house look about them.” Morris would heartily approve and be intrigued by a wonderful Canadian company called Rollout. Headed by Anita

Modha, with studios in Vancouver and Toronto, Rollout has married design with technology since 2005 which allows them to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of wall design. “In essence what we do is design custom wallpapers and digitally print them by the square foot,” says Modha. “We get our inspiration from community-based artists, photographers and designers, and the wall is our canvas. ... Each project is unique and is integral to the design of your home,” says Modha. Technology has thrown the world of design wide open. Imagine a wall in your media room with a custom design from a favourite movie! All bets are off today regarding what’s in or out. Your home is a reflection of you and your family and there have never been more choices to fully express who you are today.

Building a secondary suite a good mortgage helper By Kerry Vital The Lower Mainland is widely recognized as one of the most expensive places to live in North America. With that in mind, many homeowners are choosing to build a secondary legal suite in their house to rent out and bring in a bit of extra money. However, it can be confusing when trying to sort out what is required, what is a nice extra and the best way to go about building your new suite. Before you start such a renovation, it’s best to look into the regulations in your city. “The best resource for secondary suite regulations can be found online on your municipal website,” says Steve Kemp of Kemp Construction Management Ltd. “There are many regulations for secondary suites such as minimum egress for bedroom windows, electrical panel access, fire separation, stand-alone heating systems, (and) designated garden area, plus many more.” The thought can be overwhelming, but Kemp has some suggestions for things to think about before you start. “Can you finance the project? Are you ready to share your home?” he asks. “Is the access to your space shared or private? Is there enough parking for one or two additional vehicles?” He also says homeowners should think about whether they want to live in their home while it is under renovation, or whether they should seek alternate accommodation. Renovations aren’t quiet and they aren’t always quick. “If you are doing the full redevelopment of the basement including a new foundation, I would allow six months for the project,” says Kemp. “Minor alterations may only take a few weeks.” He notes that the more things you add to a project, the longer it will take. “For example, a new sewer, water and drainage connections add two weeks. Granite countertops versus laminate could add one to two weeks,” he says. “Sometimes owners want to upgrade the main living area at the same time, which can add additional time to the project.” As anyone who has ever rented a basement or secondary suite can attest to, there are certain things that renters will be looking for when searching for a place to live.

“There is a high demand for good-quality rental suites in Vancouver,” says Kemp. “The highest demand is for two-bedroom and two-bathroom units with eight-foot ceilings and no evidence of basement mildew. Generally these suites range in size from 700 to 1,000-plus square feet.” Having your own space is also key. It can be uncomfortable to run into your landlord on your way out the door in the morning, which is why a basement suite with its own entrance is highly sought-after. “Add quality finishes and privacy in order to attract a tenant that is looking for longerterm accommodations,” says Kemp. “Know your target market and try to understand what type of (home) they need and what they are able to afford.” When it comes to how much you will be able to get for your new secondary suite, Kemp says it depends on a few factors. “The main determinants of rental income are the quality of finish, privacy, full-height ceilings, (is it) dry and comfortable, and proximity to amenities, work and parking,” he says. It is best to check rental listings for an idea of what you could charge. As with every renovation, hiring a professional is always the best way to go. “Do your research,” Kemp says. “Print out the regulations for secondary suites and make sure you understand the content. Ensure you have adequate funds, find experienced professionals to help you, (and) allow adequate time for the project.” When you’re considering building a secondary suite in your home, the first thing you need to do is check out the regulations for your city.

My House Design/Build renovates old-style bungalow By Maggie Calloway The story of a family firmly rooted in a neighbourhood with children happy in school and extended family nearby that opts to renovate a home which is tired and no longer works as the family grows and needs more space is a familar one nowadays. With home prices still rising, homeowners are weighing the cost of buying a new home and relocating against the cost of a renovation and ending up with exactly what you want. More frequently, renovating is winning the coin toss. This was the case with this renovation. The father of the family grew up in the area, has many family members living close by, and wanted his own family to experience the love and security of grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins being a part of everyday life. Linda Jones, an interior designer working with the My House Design/Build Team, is very pleased with how this amazing transformation works for the family. “The whole main floor which was originally the kitchen, dining room and living room are now one great room,” says Jones. “Our clients are all about family and the configuration of the original house didn’t allow them to live as they really wanted to. Major Sunday dinners with extended family are now possible with everyone together comfortably in this new space.” The clients trusted the renovation team which allowed them to hand over creative control of the project. This is a dream situation for any team and they made sure the family received what they needed in spades. “It was a real pleasure working with the family,” says Jones. “Opening up the whole main floor required major engineering to replace the removed walls but the end result was

worth it. The main floor now consists of three small bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite bathroom as well as the great room.” The house is a 1,300-square-foot bungalow with no second story but with a full walk-out basement. “This whole space was very carefully planned. When you design a great room, which by design has to fulfill many roles, every detail is important,” says Jones. “For instance, the kitchen is totally exposed to the living room but by placing the island carefully with a raised breakfast bar it shields the working area from the living space. We also

stained the island with an espresso stain which again creates a piece of furniture from the living room side.” Not a huge amount of work was done on the exterior of the home. The windows were trimmed out to create symmetry, a new door was installed, steps, railings and plantings were changed and the whole exterior of the home was repainted. The difference these relatively small changes made to the curb appeal is enormous. The rear of the home was refreshed with new railings on the deck. All in all the rear of the home is now an inviting place to be on a summer day.

A few little changes can make a difference By Kerry Vital Winter seems to be rapidly approaching, and with it comes darkness, bad weather and a feeling of cabin fever. Perhaps putting some new decor into that cabin will drive away some of those feelings. A new colour palette might be a good place to start. “It’s nice to have something vivid and fun,” says Sarah Gallop, principal designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc. “It really sets the tone for the space.” Colours such as bright orange, magenta and lime green are especially popular as accents, Gallop says. She often has people request a feature wall in a saturated colour, some bright pillows or other textiles, or even a new piece of furniture in a tropical hue. These accents go well with the new neutrals

that are a recent trend. While many shake their heads at “apartment beige”, that colour is a classic for a reason and still features heavily in many homes. However, warm and cool greys are still requested, though Gallop sees them as being on their way out. “People like a timeless, classic look,” she says. “You spend a lot of money to decorate your house, and it doesn’t always make sense to go for a new look every time.” Wallpaper has also become more popular recently and Gallop expects this to continue next year as well. “People have a bad association with it,” she says. “But it gives such a glamour that paint doesn’t have.” Because it doesn’t have to be permanent, Gallop says wallpaper is an easy way to keep up with interior decor trends. “Some of the new wallpapers are gorgeous,” she says, adding that you are no longer relegated to musty flowers and faux finishes that were popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Even the popular style of furniture has been changing recently, Gallop says. “More tailored looks are back,” she says. “The overstuffed furniture is out; it’s quite bulky and heavy-looking.” A move towards indoor-outdoor living has been coming on strong this year, and Gallop expects that to continue into the new year. Sarah Gallop says adding a vivid colour to a room freshens it up and sets the tone for the space, no matter which room it is. Submitted photos

“It’s really about extending the living space out,” she says, adding that the ability to do so depends on the layout of the home and yard, but “it’s usually achievable.” Building an outdoor kitchen or patio for entertaining is one of many things homeowners can do to maximize their indoor-outdoor space. When you’re thinking of doing some updates, it’s always best to take a look at the things you already love about a space. Working out a budget for what you can afford and want to change is the best place to start. Overextending yourself is never a good plan. “You don’t want to be a slave to your house,” Gallop says.

Finding a level of trust is extremely important when choosing a home builder “ from page.1

to spend time with them,” says Krpan. “They must be willing to assist (the homeowners) with colours, design and other plans.” Once you’ve chosen a builder, you need to find the land you want to build on and know the regulations that are in place for the type of home you can construct. “How a property is situated will (determine) what you can put on it,” says Krpan. Once you’ve chosen where you want to build and purchased the parcel of land, it’s time to start looking at what you want to include in your new home, whether it’s a large kitchen perfect for entertaining or several bedrooms to fit your growing family. “A good builder will help you look at what you should and shouldn’t do (in a home) as well as discuss your likes and dislikes,” says Krpan. This is the perfect time to talk about your dream master suite or what you love about a friend or family member’s house. Those granite countertops and heated tile floors are important parts of the design puzzle, and your builder needs to know that you want them included. “In most cases you will be working with a designer who works with the builder,” say Krpan. They will collaborate with you to lay out everything you want for your perfect home. Once you have finalized your design and everyone is on the same page, it’s time to discuss how much it will cost and draw up a contract. “It’s best to enlighten people about what the process is,” says Krpan. “Everything has a price tag attached.” The contract you sign should include the square footage of the home, a total breakdown of the costs you will incur including the price per square foot and the quality of finishings that will be in the home. “It should also include a payment schedule,” Krpan says. “For example, I ask for 25 per cent to start. Then, another 25 per cent once the roof, doors and windows go on. The next 40 per cent would be required when the heating, air conditioning and electrical go in and drywall goes up. The final 10 per cent would be due once everything is finished and a final inspection is done.” However, Krpan warns that even though you may have signed a contract stating how much you will be paying for your new home, if you come up with some new ideas mid-way through, there might be some extra costs. “An example would be a high-end chandelier,” he says, adding that the homeowner would have to pay for that on top of the agreed-upon cost. “You don’t want any misunderstandings between the builder and the customer,” Krpan says. “That’s why there needs to be a good contract in place. Having a contract keeps everyone honest and everyone understands the cost.” You should also be given a construction specifications sheet when completing a contract. That sheet (Krpan’s are usually four or five pages long) will list the construction materials the builder will use. “I list the important things,” says Krpan. “I’m not going to list the brand of concrete used or anything, but I will list things like the cultured stone for the front or the type of windows, for example. It’s important to protect both the builder and the customer.” Being realistic about what you can afford is very important. You may have fallen in love with that huge granite soaker tub or opulent formal dining room you saw in a home decor magazine, but if it’s not feasible on your budget it may need to be put aside for the time being. Your home is more than a place to rest your head. You should feel happy and comfortable in your new place, and knowing that this house was built exactly how you wanted it to be will go a long way towards making that possible.

Building a custom home can be a large undertaking, so it is important to find a builder you trust and are able to work with. Whether you want a large kitchen, glittery chandeliers or an opulent master bedroom, your options for the design of your new home can be limited only by your imagination and your budget.
