Delta schools face $3.5M deficit

Kirpans now allowed in B.C. courts

Cuts to staffing, programming planned to balance budget

B.C. Justice Ministry changes policy on ceremonial daggers

by Adrian MacNair THE DELTA School District is proposing to make $1.9 million worth

of spending cuts and borrow $1 million from reserves into order to partially shore up a projected $3.46-million deficit for the next school year. Those cuts include 16.09 FTEs (full-time equivalent positions), although five of those FTEs are contingencies and will not result in lost jobs. The other 11.09 FTEs won’t necessarily mean layoffs either, said school district secretary treasurer, Joe Strain. The budget deficit can be chalked up a significant projected enrolment decline, a 47-per-cent reduction of the province’s bus funding over three years, an increase of teacher and employee benefit costs, and the carry-forward of a $1.7-million shortfall from last year. This is despite the fact the ministry of education increased the per-student funding formula to $6,900 this year from $6,784 the previous year. The school district says it just isn’t enough to cover rising costs. “Some of our work has been hard to do knowing it will be impacting on our vision,” said Delta School District Supt. Dianne Turner, who added they are committed to maintaining initiatives like aboriginal education, technology, elementary music, and teacher mentorship. The district will look for efficiencies in its staffing, which means reducing one FTE Dianne Turner English Language Learning teacher (formerly called ESL) and 3.69 FTE educational assistants for students with special needs, that will save over $250,000. But Turner said that may entail shuffling teachers to schools where the need is greatest and tweaking classroom sizes on a minute scale.

“Some of our work has been hard to do knowing it will be impacting on our vision.”

Until now, anyone with a kirpan was asked by sheriffs to put their daggers or swords in their vehicles or stay outside the courthouse. Sheriffs will still assess risk factors, by asking what type of proceeding is being attended and the person’s connection to the case. Sheriffs will have the discretion to refuse kirpans into the courthouse on a case-bycase basis.

Metro Vancouver officials passed a number of coal-related resolutions last week, including that the regional board write to port Metro Vancouver to express opposition to shipments from ports other than that at roberts Bank.

Region opposes new Surrey coal terminal Metro might use air permits to regulate train cars over dust hazard

by Jeff Nagel A proposAl to build a new coal export

terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey is being opposed by Metro Vancouver directors who cite potential risks to the local environment and the health of residents from coal dust. The position was taken in a 6-5 split vote of Metro’s environment and parks committee Thursday and still has to go to a full board vote at the end of the month. Metro has no power to block the planned export terminal proposed by Fraser Surrey Docks and now being considered for approval by Port Metro Vancouver.

While Metro is also asking the port for more information on the proposal and its potential impacts, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves argued a decision could be imminent and Metro can’t wait for answers before stating its opposition. “The port is the sole judge, jury and executioner and they’re not consulting with anybody,” he said. “The decision will be made by the time we get a response.” Some directors said it looked bad to oppose the new terminal while seeking more details. The motion doesn’t oppose coal exports altogether – just new terminals in the Fraser River estuary.

Coal has long been exported through Westshore Terminals at Deltaport. And the port has just approved a capacity expansion at Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver that will allow more exports of B.Cmined metallurgical coal used in steelmaking. The new terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks would be able to export four million tonnes of thermal coal a year initially, with potential to double that later. Coal trains would come to the new terminal from Wyoming through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta. See COAL / Page 4

movement has died. Tom Godwin, a long-term member of the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee and founding member of Surrey Environmental Partners, died peacefully last Tuesday morning (April 9) at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Godwin had been suffering from an undetermined neurological condition. He was 75. Godwin had been a powerhouse on the City of Surrey’s Environmental Advisory Committee until Oct. 20, 2004, when he tendered his resignation. “We have all watched the vast areas of clearcutting of large old trees going on in our community, the rows on rows of box housing, inadequate storm water management and the total lack of any environmental input,” Godwin wrote in his Oct. 16 resignation letter to committee chair Dr. Roy Strang. “... what I tom godwin have seen go on in Surrey just makes me want to cry. Having an advisory committee, even though impotent, somehow gives this mad rush of development legitimacy and I can’t be part of that.” Godwin touched a nerve with the public, creating a huge outcry. The result was a complete revamping of the city’s tree protection bylaw that now stands as one of the strongest of its kind in the region. Godwin, also a cardiologist and author, practised what he preached. On his 85-acre parcel of property in Tynehead, he planted well over 10,000 trees, created a lake, and helped preserve a salmon stream running through it. Asked why he went to all the trouble, Godwin responded: “Isn’t it the right thing to do?” Longtime friend Dr. Roy Strang describes Godwin as extremely authentic. “He was sincere about his passion for the environment,” Strang says. “He wasn’t just paying it lip service.” To secure its future, he applied to have his property rezoned from residential to agriculture. He is survived by his wife Elaine, a brother, four sons and 10 grandchildren.

April is Daffodil Month!

Coal: Exports on the increase “I think it’s worth exploring,” Metro Vancouver air quality division manager Roger Quan said. Permit conditions would need to be grounded in protecting air quality, not simply used as a tool to block shipments. It’s unclear whether Metro could also slap similar rules on coal barges leaving the terminals for the transhipment point at Texada Island, where coal will be reloaded to ocean-going ships. Quan said while the Neptune decision happened very fast it did not appear a decision on Fraser Surrey Docks was imminent as Port Metro Vancouver seems to be taking a “more measured approach.” Several directors were either uncomfortable with rushing to judgement or argued local jobs and the economic boost from coal exports must be carefully weighed. “I think we’re a little premature to just say no,” Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said. The directors who voted against the opposition motion were Little, Steele, Langley Township Coun. Bob Long, Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal and Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin.

Combined with Neptune’s expansion, the projects could boost coal exports through Metro by about 35 per cent, from 40 to 54 million tonnes. They’ve become a major new target for climate change activists who want to block any outlet for U.S. coal to Asia. But regional district directors focused not on the climate change aspect of coal but the danger to the local environment from more coal dust escaping from trains or barges – an area over which Metro has some power as regional air quality regulator. Besides fine particulate that could harm human health in densely populated neighbourhoods near the BNSF rail line, coal dust could pose ecological risks, Vancouver Coun. and committee chair Heather Deal said. Metro Vancouver has no authority over coal trains on the rail line. But the terminals themselves require Metro air quality permits and officials say the regional district may be able to insist that arriving rail cars have covers over their loads to minimize dust escape.

concluded ALR land owners won’t take up farming on their own without “significant intervention” from government. And some owners “will never farm their ALR land due to lifestyle choices” no matter what incentives or assistance might be offered. It argued supposedly unfarmable land with poor soil can still house greenhouses and barns. The report recommends Metro work with other levels of government and farmers to “dispel the myths of agriculture in this region and to investigate financial disincentives to not farming land in the ALR.” Delta Coun. Ian Paton, a farmer himself, traces the problem back to the early 1970s, when owners of large farms – particularly in Surrey and Langley – rushed to subdivide them into smaller acreages just before the province created the ALR. The result, Paton said, was a proliferation of mega-homes on fiveacre hobby farms . The initial buyers tended to be wealthy doctors and lawyers with horse-crazy kids into show jumping. As they sold off, the ownership profile changed again. “They’re suddenly more interested in buying them because ‘I can run my part-time automotive body shop in the barn out the back, or my kids can practice their dirt biking, or we can ride our horses,’” Paton said. Like Hepner, he sees no magic solution. “How do you tell people this is what you can or cannot do with your five-acre hobby farm?” he asked.

revenue up to $500,000. Another $150 million is expected to come from a capital tax on financial institutions. Ralston revealed a rate of three per cent for banks and one per cent for larger credit unions. Credit unions with holdings of less than $20 million would be exempted, and Ralston said fewer than half of the 44 credit unions in B.C. are big enough to pay the tax. The personal income tax rate on earnings above $150,000 a year would go from 14.7 per cent to 19 per cent under an NDP government. The B.C. Liberal budget promised to raise it to 16.8 per cent for two years only. Ralston said the NDP plan would add $1,100 to the tax bill of someone making taxable income of $200,000 a year, and he considers the increase to be a permanent measure. Finance Minister Mike de Jong

said the NDP plan echoes the policies pursued by the NDP government of the 1990s. “Taxation levels went up, a corporate capital tax was introduced, and investment and jobs fled,” de Jong said. The NDP carbon tax increase is to be phased in on “venting” emissions from oil and gas production, raising an estimated $35 million next year and tripling over the next two years. Ralston said the NDP will not extend the carbon Bruce Ralston tax to chemical process emissions on cement plants, aluminum smelters and other industries that emit carbon dioxide beyond their use of fossil fuel. All the new revenues would be spent on programs, including reinstating non-repayable grants for post-secondary students. NDP social development critic Carole James said details of the spending plans will be revealed this week.

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at 5450 152 St., Surrey, B.C.

FUNDRAISING

Financing elections

RAESIDE

number of organizations and political parties are taking aim at the financing of political parties, citing the release of information about funds raised by the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. The Liberals raised about $10 million in 2012, with about half of that coming from businesses. The NDP raised about $7 million, with $1 million coming from businesses and another $1.6 million from unions. NDP leader Adrian Dix has agreed with Integrity B.C., an election watchdog group, the B.C. Conservative party, the Green party, and independent MLAs that there should be a ban on donations from businesses and unions to political campaigns. This would bring B.C. into line with the federal government and most other provinces. Is this really best for democracy? Independent MLA Bob Simpson says organizations giving donations to parties “buys access” and is at odds with one person, one vote. Simpson, a former NDP MLA, says Dix may waffle on his pledge to end corporate and union donations, because his party has done well from both in the past year. If there were no donations to parties from businesses and unions, would that limit political advertising? Not likely. Unions like the B.C. Teachers Federation have spent millions in advocacy ads over the years, and are doing so now. It is unlikely any ban on donations would extend to advocacy ads, given that it would be unlikely to survive a court challenge. B.C. has had, in the past, a robust political tradition that is quite unlike many other provinces. Many elections have been fought like class warfare. The Liberals, the latest version of the free enterprise coalition, get funds from many businesses, and the NDP (and the CCF before them) get funds from labour. What’s wrong with that? A limit on donations from an individual business or union to a party, and a law that would prevent that organization from making simultaneous donations to individual candidates to try to get around the limit, would be sufficient in limiting the influence of any one donor. Businesses, unions, advocacy groups and individuals should be free to donate to political parties. Democracy is a battle of ideas, and getting ideas out into the public square requires money and effort. No one should be able to buy an election. Individuals, groups and businesses should be able to fully participate. – Black Press

ELECTION

s the B.C. NDP launched its election campaign last week with a package of income tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader confirmed his own plan to increase personal and business income tax rates. It’s not readily apparent from his recently released “fiscal framework” document, but B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does indeed include raising income tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.” I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas tax revenues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier he vowed to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service. Cummins has more good news for the north: that’s where a regionally phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also

tracts with private power producers and suggests the price for this clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position. So if the B.C. Conservatives are gung-ho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions? Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pollution, whether it’s in the Fraser Valley or as a byproduct of a northern industrial boom. As a long-time former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware that the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing. Should a Conservative let slip that he’s skeptical about global warming, or worse, express a rustic view on social issues, all Hell would break loose. The B.C. Conservatives have started with the most detailed, costed platform of any party. Don’t count them out. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

‘Together, we can change lives’

My naMe is Ashleigh Single-

ton and I was interviewed by reporter Kevin Diakiw about the stigma around mental illness. Amazingly, my story was featured in The Surrey Leader and on Thursday’s front page of the Peace Arch News. I am absolutely elated that my story is getting out to people. At first, I was slightly embarrassed to admit that I hear voices telling me to do some pretty terrible things. I really didn’t open up much about it or tell anyone what I was really hearing. But, as I have lived with schizophrenia, I have learned that I am not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I am so happy that Kevin’s article and my story has made it to such a large audience. I suffered for two years with these voices and not telling anyone, and I know there are other teenagers and young adults out there that are doing the same. My hope is to reach out to these individuals and let them know that there is hope, you’re not crazy and you can live a productive and happy life. It hasn’t been an easy road for me, but I have been blessed with the most amazing father, Mike Singleton, who has literally dedicated his life to learning about mental illness and what I am going through. His support, along with medication, has made me stable and I am far more equipped to deal with my illness. I hope that many people read about my story and hopefully it

reaches people that need help. I would love nothing more than to speak in high schools to teenagers and let them know that they are not stuck in their problems and that there is hope beyond high school. I especially struggled in high school when it became known that I am schizophrenic. I don’t want to see other kids go through that alone or at all. I want to be a support and a beacon of hope and life to anyone who is struggling with a mental illness. This is because I have been down that road and I know where these people are at. I have experienced the pain of isolation and the anguish of alienation. I want to change that. I feel that I have the necessary tools to make a difference in youth’s lives. Just a note – a friend of mine phoned me after reading the story in the newspaper. I have known this friend for a long time, and she was blown away by my story and how little of it she really knew. She was able to open up to me that her dad is bi-polar, something her and her family have not shared with many people. However, my story has given her hope in knowing that there is other people out there that know exactly what her, her dad and her family are and have experienced. So I thank you for getting my story out there. I hope that together, we can change lives.

Do away with taxes and tolls

The carbon tax is a very bad

tax. We paid $107.11 in carbon tax last year for natural gas in our home. We have the temperature set so low that at times we almost have to put on jackets in the house. How can we cut down by two-thirds our use of natural gas? Also we paid $74.72 in carbon tax for gas for our car, and we use it very

little: 9,547 kilometres. At my low usage, all the homes in B.C. would pay $175,951,203 for carbon tax. At my low usage, all the cars in B.C. would pay $156,031,873 for carbon tax. I am sure the actual amounts are double or more. The universities paid $4.46 million. This could pay for more edu-

cation. The schools paid $5.36 million. This could all so pay for more education. The health authorities paid $5.79 million. Why not use this to help the sick people? All of the general public has to pay for the carbon tax on the fuel the trucks use to deliver the goods to the stores. The stores pay carbon tax and have to raise their prices.

Ignoring the mentally ill

LeTTer wriTer Sophia Zeng is asking for special hospitals for mental health patients. We had one, it’s called Riverview. Eliminating hundreds of psychiatric care beds was supposed to remove the stigmatization of mental illness, but the mentally ill just ended up on the streets. In l998, the then NDP government announced a $125-million, seven-year mental health plan. It never happened. Then health minister Penny Priddy said that although the plan had been announced, it actually had not been in the budget. By 2001, the last year of the NDP government, the over 800 lost beds had still not been replaced.

You do have a choice on May 14

It was well-meant but naive to think that mentally ill people could simply fend for themselves. Many of them need constant supervision and medication needs to be regulated. Back in the l990s, I had a friend who suffered from mental illness and spent some time at Riverview. I visited him more than once. He received the help he needed in a place where, I am sure, improvements could have been made, but was a far cry from “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” We have done those with mental illness no favour and we have been ignoring them ever since. Doris Darvasi, Surrey

The carbon tax is just one vicious cycle, and should be done away with. Norman Sinclair, Surrey

Paying too much There is already a toll on every bridge and road. It’s called taxes. With the new public-private partnership bridges, we pay both taxes and tolls. At 2.7 million vehicles crossing the Port Mann in the month since tolls began, $3.50 each yields $9.5 million. Users will pay at least $120 million a year in tolls. The Golden Ears likewise. In 50 years users will put out billions – much more than if government had built the bridges as public infrastructure. The Liberal government’s agenda – privatizing public infrastructure (BC Ferries, BC Hydro, etc.) – has brought us near bankruptcy and has reduced our power to govern ourselves in our interest. These disasters don’t show up in their budget.

Fletcher validated the outdated image of the Greens; it also spurred my curiosity about other policies not mentioned in the commentary. Wow. The hour I spent reading the Green Book 2013 online has completely changed my perception of the B.C. Green party. Greens are not a bunch of hippies and treehuggers. They are a serious political party. Their policies are practical and resonate strongly with B.C. voters like me. Obviously, Mr. Fletcher concluded otherwise. You be the judge. Examples on “Reforming Government:” • Allow Green MLAs to vote freely in the legislature to truly represent the will of their constituents. • Implement a $2,000 annual political donation limit to take away influence from big-money unions and corporations. Examples on “Economy:” • Create thousands of new jobs by transforming B.C. to a new economy through investing in new infrastructure, green technology, retrofits of houses and buildings, advanced education, clean industries and technologies, sustainable forestry, fisheries and agriculture, ecotourism, and value-added manufacturing. • Maintain a business climate to allow small businesses to be started and prosper. • Create vibrant and sustainable arts and culture communities throughout B.C. • Return to balanced budgets, end corporate welfare, eliminate subsidies to polluting industries, and develop fair taxation policies. Examples on “Transportation:” • Encourage walkable neighbourhoods; consider light rail and trams for major urban centres. • Adopt road pricing and pay-asyou-drive insurance. Examples on “Health Care:” • Promote healthy living, preventive care; integrate community, home, and primary care services for seniors. • Reform the governance of provincially funded health services to create more effective and responsive provincial health services. They have many practical policies covering other areas as well. I encourage readers to check out the Green Book 2013 firsthand. Get informed. In the May 14 election, you do have a choice other than the Liberals and NDP.

Ridings in focus: SURREY-FLEETWOOD by Rick Kupchuk The B.C. NDP’s Jagrup

Brar will be seeking a third full term as MLA, but just the second in Surrey-Fleetwood. He was first elected in a 1993 byelection in Surrey-Panorama, and was re-elected two years later. In 2009, he moved over the to new SurreyFleetwood riding, and topped the polls with 50 per cent of the vote. Jagmohan Singh of the Liberals was second, with 38.9 per cent. Brar, a 10-year veteran, will seek another four years as an MLA on May 14, but will be challenged by Peter Fassbender, the current mayor of Langley City for close to a decade who will carry the B.C. Liberal banner in the riding. Fassbender, elected as mayor of Langley City in 2005, 2008 and 2011, does not live in

Surrey-Fleetwood but is a graduate of Queen Elizabeth Secondary. Murali Krishnan, employed as a notary public and an insurance agent in Surrey, is running for the BC Conservatives, while the B.C. Green party has

constituency in the province has a lower rate of people (according to the 2006 census) that lived outside British Columbia five years earlier.

It is among several other Surrey constituencies as an area of British Columbia where people are least likely to walk or bike to work, or to live alone.

nominated engineer manager Tim Binnema as its candidate. Both will have a huge, uphill battle to take the riding, as the Greens and Conservatives combined garnered just 10.9 per cent of the vote in 2009. Residents in SurreyFleetwood are a stable group, as only one

Fleetwood fast facts: • 2011 Population: 56,550 • 2006 population: 49,885 • Increase: 13.3 % •Median age: 38.4 •Non-English mother tongue: 52% •Average annual income: $70,769

If you live within these boundaries, this is your riding.

Surrey-Fleetwood: Candidates on the record The Leader asked local candidates to respond to the following questions:

B.C. NDP

1. What is your name, age, education and neighbourhood of residence? 2. Why should people vote for you? 3. What are the most significant issues facing your riding and what would you do about them? 4. What are the most significant issues facing B.C. and what would you do about them?

JAGRUP BRAR (Incumbent)

Name, education, and residence: Jagrup Brar, age 55, masters degree in Public Administration from the University of Manitoba. Lives in Panorama. 2. Why should people vote for you? The past 12 years under the B.C. Liberals has become less affordable for B.C. families. I am an immigrant father; with my wife and two young children and share

B.C. LIBERALS

PeTeR FASSBeNDeR

Name, education, and residence: My name is Peter Fassbender, I am 66 with two sons and three grandsons. My first memories are growing up on 102 Avenue and Old Yale Road in Surrey. I now live in Uplands neighbourhood and serve as Langley’s mayor and always at home South of the Fraser. 2. Why should people vote for you? It’s easy to make

the same concerns as those I hear on the doorsteps of my constituents. B.C. Liberal tax policies have disproportionately benefited the rich people and they have had more fees implemented on middle class people such as doubling of the MSP, increasing ICBC rates, increasing hydro fees, bridge tolls... etc. During my first week in the legislature I was able to raise the very important issue of the lack of health care services for the people of

Surrey. I was able to move the government (being an opposition MLA) to commit $28 million for the improvement of Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room. I was also successful in forcing the government to finally build the Jim Pattison outpatient hospital. Last January, I accepted and completed the MLA Welfare Challenge. I lived on $610, the welfare rate for a single employable person. There are 800,000 people living below the poverty line in this prov-

ince and 130,000 of them are children. As a result of my experience I am better able to advocate for these people. 3. What are the most significant issues facing your riding and what would you do about them? Education is a big issue. Surrey for many years has needed more schools to reduce overcrowding in classrooms. I have fought for a long time for practical solutions to the classroom shortages and will con-

tinue that fight if elected. With increasing population in Surrey we also need to keep the issue of health care a top priority. 4. What are the most significant issues facing B.C. and what would you do about them? The economy and jobs is the number-one issue and making sure our workers have the education required to take jobs coming to B.C. Through increased skills training, many high-paying jobs of the future will be available.

promises but I am the one candidate that has a proven track record of delivering results that matter. I believe in integrated health care and not just illness treatment; I fought for efficiency gains in law enforcement to ensure that policing costs don’t crowd out the social services, educational and recreational programs that are the key to crime prevention. As an entrepreneur I have grown businesses and brought that knowledge into civic government.

3. What are the most significant issues facing your riding and what would you do about them? Priorities for Surrey are an economy that delivers stable wellpaying jobs, sustainable healthcare, public safety, a strong education system and a clean environment. People worry that government is losing touch with these issues and common sense solutions to solve them. As an entrepreneur, school board trustee,

environmental activist and charity board member I have worked hard on these priorities and brought them into civic government, and intend to take the next step and fight for Surrey’s needs in Victoria. 4. What are the most significant issues facing B.C. and what would you do about them? B.C. has never had so much rich potential at our fingertips, and so many dangers at our gates. How we handle decisions these next few

years will determine whether B.C. is prosperous, confident and successful, or a have-not province where neither the people nor their government can pay their bills. I have seen how good ideas fall by the wayside because of a breakdown of communication between government and its citizens, and I am committed to rebuilding that bridge so that we are all on the same page on the priorities and solutions.

Metro launches election website

B.C. CONSERVATIVES

by Jeff Nagel Metro VancouVer

has unveiled www.local governmentmatters. ca, a website where it’s quizzing provincial parties on their positions on municipal issues leading up to the May 14 election. The regional district hopes it puts more focus on the need for reform of TransLink, long-term sustainable funding for transit and infrastructure, and other municipal issues. So far only the Green party has provided answers, but the other main parties have promised to participate. “The board will not be endorsing any political party,” Metro vice-chair Raymond Louie said, calling it an “entirely non-partisan initiative.”

ary School, regular participant at the Guildford Recreation Centre in physical activities, an insurance agent who gives advice on all insurance matters, and an exceptional service as a notary public in the Fleetwood community. 3. What are the most significant issues facing your riding and what would you do about them? I have been talk-

ing to people in my neighbourhood and the most significant issues are related to health, crime, special needs children and transportation. We have the feedback from the people in the riding and each issues needs to compared and equated to the resources available to satisfy the needs. There might be situations which will require immediate resolutions, such as more funding and

manpower. I believe that our leader Mr. John Cummins has the best interest for our province and has selected the best candidates to support him to achieve all his goals and desires. 4. What are the most significant issues facing B.C. and what would you do about them? The most significant issues facing B.C. right now is debt reduction, health care, crime and

transportation. B.C. has the opportunity to generate more money through tourism. We have the best universities in the world, where we could attract a lot of foreign students to generate the revenue. Mining can be expanded and all closed mills should be opened up to generate job and to stimulate economic growth.

The Green party wants to set a new direction in leadership, one that considers how decisions impact our children and their children’s ability to flourish. Principles of sustainability and social justice align with my own and are the bedrock on which the Green party platform is built. Thinking long term and putting people first will impact how I, if elected as MLA, will evaluate any policies the government seeks to put into law. 3. What are the most

significant issues facing your riding and what would you do about them? Education. B.C. needs leadership that respects our teachers and empowers those responsible for educating our children. Transportation. The Green party of B.C.’s policies support the most economically efficient systems for the movement of goods and people. This, together with a framework that supports local businesses, will result in more jobs

closer to home. Safety. Strengthening arts, culture and sport helps build stronger communities while giving youth creative outlets to keep them engaged in society and away from the criminal element. 4. What are the most significant issues facing B.C. and what would you do about them? Relations with First Nations. Our ability to form mutually a beneficial relationship with B.C.’s First Nations’ population is symbolic

(symptomatic) of our ability to responsibly deal with the management of all our human and natural capital. I would make this a priority. Health care is the single greatest cost attributed to the province. A focus on preventative medicine and a restructuring of how health care is administered will result in lower overall costs. Resource management. See www.greenparty. bc.ca to learn how the B.C. Green party would manage resources.

Driver to appeal conviction

Gurjit Dhillon found guilty last year in bus stop death of senior by Sheila Reynolds Just two days after he

was sentenced to a year in jail for hitting and killing an elderly man at a Surrey bus stop, Gurjit Dhillon filed notice that he wants to appeal his conviction. Dhillon, 28, was found guilty last November of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing

death. In September 2009, Dhillon was driving his brother’s 2003 Corvette on 128 Street when he accelerated abruptly through the busy intersection at 72 Avenue during rush hour. He tried to change lanes and clipped another car before spinning out of control. In a matter of seconds, Dhillon’s car jumped

the curb, crashing into 83-year-old Pritam Benning, who was sitting at a bus stop. Benning’s legs were crushed and he was unconscious in hospital for five days before he died. He never regained consciousness long enough for his family to speak to him. During the trial, the defence argued there was something wrong

with Dhillon’s car. A 911 call was played in which Dhillon could be heard saying “I hit a person. I need an ambulance. Something happened to my car. It just went out of control.” The court also heard that prior to being charged, Dhillon got a tattoo with Benning’s name, the date of his death, and the words:

“The day everything changed.” Last Wednesday (April 10), Dhillon was sentenced to one year in jail, two years probation and a five-year driving ban. By Friday (April 12) he had filed notice with the B.C. Court of Appeal in hopes of getting a new trial.

Trial to go ahead in 2012 shooting Michael Kishimoto faces murder charge

by Tracy Holmes two men charged in

the May 2012 shooting death of Noel Jackson will stand trial for the crime. Following a three-day preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court, Judge Donald Gardner on Thursday (April 11) committed Jonathan Michael Kishimoto to stand trial for seconddegree murder in connection with Jackson’s death. Co-accused Michael Alexander Ross – originally also charged with second-degree murder – will stand trial on a charge of accessory after the fact. Publication bans prohibit disclosure of any of the evidence heard in the proceedings, and names of any witnesses. Trial dates are expected to be set during an appearance May 16 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Integrated Homicide Investigation Team officials announced charges against Kishimoto and Ross in November, six months after Jackson was found dead at a house in the 12400-block of 70 Avenue.

Proposal would bring car racing back to Campbell Valley

by Jeff Nagel The dream of car racing

fans to reopen the longclosed Langley Speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park will at least get to the starting line. Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee voted to refer the controversial proposal to staff to report back on feasibility and what process might be used if Metro’s board decides to advance it to public consultation. The idea is expected to face heavy opposition from horse riders who frequent the park, as well as other users and residential neighbours. Four Metro directors voted against the motion, citing concerns racing wouldn’t be compatible with quiet nature strolls and equestrian riding. Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele said noise from the track would be a big issue, adding she’s also concerned the Langley Speedway Historical Society hasn’t adequately discussed its proposal with neighbours or other park users. But the majority agreed Metro should not dismiss out of hand the idea of resurrecting the speedway, which has been closed since 1984. “In this economy, we have to look at what the people want to do,” said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, adding track proponents have taken a respectful approach and not tried to “stack the deck” with support. Responding to concerns it’s a heavily polluting sport, Banman said auto racing technology is changing and heading toward a future of electric race cars. He also noted equestrian sports aren’t emission free, because horse riders typically burn fuel trucking their animals to and from Campbell Valley park. “I think there are lots of ways to resolve the problems facing this,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walsh said. Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin noted Metro wants to explore business partnerships to raise more money to support regional parks, particularly the acquisition of more parkland. “In Stanley Park you have the aquarium, which houses whales in captivity. What’s that doing to the environment?” Martin asked. “You have the miniature

LANGLEY SPEEDWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The styles may have changed since the heyday of the Langley Speedway, but advocates who want to reopen the racetrack hope the appetite for stock car racing hasn’t train, you have Malkin Bowl and they’re all generating revenue.” She said most trails in Campbell Valley go nowhere near the racetrack area, which occupies less than two per cent of the park’s 1,322 acres. Speedway society president Murray Jones said he’s pleased Metro will at least

consider the idea. He said the racing surface is still usable and a demonstration race could be held there almost immediately, using basic fencing and portable concessions, while more work would be needed to set up proper grandstands. Jones said Metro got 10 per cent of all speedway revenues when

b r i t i s h

it was open and a similar revenue-sharing agreement in the future could help fund regional parks. He envisions 10 to 14 race days a year, while concerts, car shows and other outdoor events could use the venue at other times. Jones said the existing 1,000 parking stalls at the track would be mainly for VIPs and the disabled, while most other race-goers would be expected to walk, bike or take a shuttle. Metro directors predict there will be strong opinions for and against reopening the track, particularly from motor sport fans and horse owners, if the proposal makes it to public consultations. “You’ve got horsepower on both sides of this issue,” Langley Township Coun. Bob Long said.

the head with her high-heeled shoe during an altercation at Surrey Christian Church last year was handed a conditional discharge for the offence during an appearance Wednesday in Surrey Provincial Court. Judge Ellen Gordon, noting Lien Ai Dang’s obvious embarrassment over the incident, told the 34-yearold mother of three she would not be stuck with a criminal record for the assault provided she keeps the peace for a year, stays away from the victim, and pays $320.70 restitution for medical expenses incurred as a result. Gordon heard that the incident occurred on July 1, 2012 in the 15300-block of 92 Avenue. “It turns out the accused was seeing the same boyfriend as the complainant and this was over him,” prosecutor James Lees said. The victim suffered injuries to her face and neck, Gordon heard.

The incident was reported to police just after 6 p.m. When officers arrived, a 36-year-old woman was being treated by paramedics for a head wound; she and another woman both blamed each other for provoking the altercation. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Dang turned herself into police on Sept. 2 after being notified of the charge against her. Defence counsel Daniel Redekopp described the incident as a “matter of a love triangle, so to speak,” and said his client is “taking full responsibility for her actions.” She has already completed 16 hours of counselling, he said. Dang told Gordon the boyfriend in question had brought the victim to the scene, and that things escalated to the point she actually chased her. Asked why she took her shoe off James Lees in the first place, Dang said it was because she couldn’t run in her heels. Gordon said Dang taking the initiative to undergo counselling “speaks volumes about how troubled you were” over what happened. She gave Dang, who works part time at a South Surrey nail salon, until Jan. 31, 2014 to pay the restitution.

“It turns out the accused was seeing the same boyfriend as the complainant and this was over him.”

Youth leaders help Cloverdale homeless Local members of an organization for young community leaders recently marked World Rotaract Week by making outreach kits for Cloverdale’s homeless. The Cloverdale Rotaract Club – part of District 5050 – joined their counterparts across the globe by planning events to raise the profile of the international organization, a program of Rotary International that encourages youth to serve their communities and which celebrates its 45th anniversary this year. The Cloverdale chapter recently assembled 50 kits for Cloverdale Hyland House, a local shelter. The kits each contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, instant coffee, socks, hand warmer, and granola bar. “Earlier this year our local projects committee (Manprit Chutai and Manny Chutai) contacted the Cloverdale shelter to ask if there was anything that we could do to help out their operation through fundraising or projects,” said Jennifer Petrichenko of the Rotaract Club of Cloverdale. “ The director there advised our members that one of the biggest things we could do to help was create kits that they could give to individuals that frequent the facility. They give

out the bags seasonally so we hope to continue this project as the seasons turn.” Rotaract is a program of Rotary International that encourages youth to serve their communities and to develop their skills and abilities. Locally, members are involved in community events such as the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival. Joining the club has helped open a world of opportunity for Petrichenko, Cloverdale Rotaract Club members (from left) Manprit Chutai, Arman Jammu, district Rotaract representative for District 5050, who says she’s been able Laren Shandley, president elect Mia Petrichenko, and Manny Chutai pose with to travel around the world and network some of the 50 kits they assembled for Cloverdale Hyland House, a local shelter. with like-minded community leaders she would otherwise have never come into contact with.

A message from the presidents

Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Surrey/North Delta Leader 15

When I moved here from Prince George, I visited many Rotary clubs before joining North Delta. It has been a privilege to be a member of my Rotary club and to have the opportunity to work with some really amazing people. Rotarians are committed volunteers who try to live up to the motto “Service above Self”. Rotarians build friendships and goodwill by helping people. Rotary is a great way to meet decent people and to make a difference. Rotarians can travel literally anywhere in the world and instantly connect with people. Whether it’s delivering Christmas hampers, handing out dictionaries for Grade 3 students, sponsoring Delta Youth Leadership Awards, building a skateboard park, or sponsoring students for leadership training, members of our club impact hundreds of lives each year. Thanks to Rotary International, polio is only found in three countries in the world. We meet every Thursday at 12:15 pm at the Delta Golf Course.

Rose McKeen President

Rotary Club of Cloverdale

I joined Rotary through my work as a venue for networking. I had no idea what Rotary was about. However after a few months it became clear this was something more than networking and something I wanted to be a part of. It gave me an opportunity to get involved and give back to my community through Service Above Self. The Rotary Club of Cloverdale is a breakfast club which is great for busy working people. We have a lot of fun helping children in our community through partnerships with SOS Children’s Village BC and REC for Kids. Come be our guest for breakfast any Wednesday morning. We meet at the Surrey Golf Course 7700 – 168th Street from 7 am to 8:30 am. For more information visit our website at www. clubrunner.ca/cloverdale

The Rotary Club of Surrey is the oldest and so has a long-standing tradition of service above ourselves. Yes, we continue to honour our past but more than that, we now cherish the present and will continue to build for the future. The Rotary club that I joined over a year ago is now dramatically different as we respond to challenges of our changing dynamic society. We benefited from the skills, energy and enthusiasm of many new members who have recently joined our organization and have taken on leadership roles in our club and the community.

John Riley President

Surrey Rotary Club

In the words of Rotary International President, Mr. Sakuji Tanaka, “Putting Service Above Self” allows us to focus our energies on what is truly important. We put the common good above our own. We value the needs of others over our own desires. We think less about ourselves and more about what is best for everyone. And in this way, we help to build the foundation for a more peaceful community at home in Surrey and around the world. It is through good speakers who present interesting and invigorating challenges that we, as Rotarians, are challenged and rise to their challenge to find creative ways to contribute to the community. Yes, we are known for fundraising raising contributing thousand dollars annually to charities at home in Surrey and abroad. We are also now known as a dynamic organization which answers community needs. We meet every Tuesday at 6 pm at Eaglequest Coyote Creek Golf Club 7778 152nd Street. For more information go to www.clubrunner.ca/surrey

As president of the Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford I am proud of our group of Rotarians for the work that they have done in our community and internationally over the many years since we were chartered in 1989. We are a small club with big hearts. My most favourite time is when I get to put on a Santa Claus costume at our annual seniors’ Christmas dinner. The smiles on the seniors’ faces is worth all of the hours spent on fundraising that we do to make events like this possible. Our primary fundraiser over the past several years has been our annual book sale. Although not as large as previously as we are unable to have it at Guildford Town Centre, we still continue with a smaller venue at the Surrey City Centre Library twice a year. We are a morning club and meet most Thursdays at 7:15 am at Ricky’s Evergreen Mall, Fraser Highway and 152nd Street. Visit our website for more information www. rotarysurrey.ca

The Rotary Club of Surrey-Fraser Heights is a group of dynamic, committed and compassionate men and women. We have lot of fun and get tremendous satisfaction in serving our community and making a major positive difference in the lives of people. Our goals are: to help people of all nationalities in our community feel connected to one another and to society, assist our youth to reach their full potential and develop the leaders for tomorrow, and assist those who are in need and are often forgotten by society. There are few things that give more joy and satisfaction and are more significant than making our society better and seeing a person’s life demonstrably improved because of our efforts. We have financed the purchase of a new van for the Surrey Crime Prevention Society, sent $30,000 worth of tents and supplies to earthquake victims in Haiti, provided personal gift bags of necessities for the homeless each Christmas, held various parties with the Starlight Foundation benefitting seriously ill children, provided a free full traditional Christmas dinner and gifts to anyone that wished to come, hosted a musical concert to showcase the musical talent of the Korean community, had harbour cruises to bring the immigrant community together, donated to B.C. Children’s Hospital, sent students for leadership training at various Rotary seminars, raised money to eradicate polio, and provided dental services to people in Guatemala. Volunteering is one of the best ways for immigrants to feel at home and connected to Canada. Please join us every Wednesday at 7 pm at the ABC Restaurant, 10410 158th Street (Ramada Inn).

Fraser Valley cancer clinic

The members of the club recognized the great need for financial support for the dental clinic at the Fraser Valley Centre to provide dental services to the patients who are going through cancer treatments. The Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford made a three year commitment to donate $120,000 to the dental clinic. This

original donation was used to purchase a dental chair and other equipment for the dental facility. In a recent tour of the Fraser Valley Centre, including the dental clinic, the club learned of other areas of need at the agency and hoping to be able to do more in the future.

Hawthorne Park One of the initial projects of the Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford once it was chartered was Hawthorne Park, a wonderful project for the club to be involved in. The club donated $113,000 to provide equipment for the park and to clean up the area. As well as supplying the much-needed funds, the members assisted in planting over 1,000 trees and installing the new equipment in the children’s play area - including a climbing wall. The members of the Rotary Club of Surrey

Guildford were delighted to be a part of creating a lovely and fun space for the children in North Surrey. We have also made a commitment to contribute to the building of a playground at Hjorth Road Elementary School. The Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford is supporting the Surrey School District in its effort to secure funding for this project and members of the club will be involved in the design of the playground.

Community YWCA Alder Gardens Housing complex in Newton: In November 2012 the Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford held a “Transitions Gala” fundraiser supporting low income single mothers and their children who live at Alder Gardens housing project in the Newton area of Surrey. The club wanted to give something to the housing project. The fundraiser was a lot of fun in putting it on and we had lots of help from the mothers from Alder Gardens. We all had a great time at the Gala. The funds raised from the Gala was presented to Alder Gardens in March 2013.

Eye Centre Canadian Eyesight Global was founded in 1989 by Anup Singh Jubal. The Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford has annually supported this cause since 2004.

Canadian Eyesight Global has successfully sponsored and completed over 75,000 free cataract eye surgeries and has treated more than 300,000 people for avoidable blindness in rural India. Since 2004 Canadian Eyesight has sponsored two or more Free Eye Health Clinics per year with the help of The Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford in and around the greater Surrey area.

Kenzie Ng, Maria Fawcett, and Gurpreet Kaur Kenzie Ng from SOS Interact Club commented what the experience in attending the YAIL program meant to her. “There were many highlights at the weekend event but what meant the most to me was learning how to be a leader.” “Thanks to the Guildford Rotary Interact Club, we were able to attend the Yail 2013 program! At this camp we met inspirational speakers as well as other leaders our own age. Various activities showed us how to act as leaders in fair and non-judgemental ways. This fun-filled weekend provided us with contacts and connections that will benefit out leadership. Thank you again Rotary, for this memorable experience.”

Breakfast for Kids Cindrich Elementary School Breakfast Program: The Rotary Club of Surrey Guildford has participated in the Breakfast For Kids program for five years at Cindrich Elementary School.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 21

Surrey leads BCHL final 2-0, series shifts to Penticton

Power play gives Eagles a lift by Nick Greenizan The Surrey Eagles are just two

games away from capturing the fourth Fred Page Cup in franchise history, and they have a red-hot powerplay and an even hotter goaltender to thank. Surrey has a 2-0 lead over the Penticton Vees after winning Games 1 and 2 on home ice on the weekend. On Friday, the Eagles rolled to a 5-2 win and on Saturday, goaltender Michael Santaguida stopped a season-high 50 shots to lead the Birds to a 2-0 shutout win. “He probably stole us that game, when you look back see how many shots he faced,” Surrey Eagles coach Matt Erhart said of the 20-year-old Ontario native, who has four shutouts in the playoffs. “He made one big (save) in the first period, and in the third, there were some rebound opportunities (for Penticton). He made some game-savers late in the game.” Game 3 of the BC Hockey League final was played in Penticton last night (Monday) after press deadlines. Game 4 is scheduled for tonight (Tuesday), also in Penticton. Through two games, perhaps the only thing as hot as Santaguida was the Eagles’ special teams. Though the sample-size is small, but the team’s power-play is clicking at a 37.5 per cent clip through the opening two games, and Michael Stenerson netted a shorthanded goal in Friday’s opener. Saturday, Demico Hannoun opened the scoring on a five-onthree power play when he snapped a wrist shot past Penticton goalie Chad Katunar. In the second period, Nic Pierog scored his seventh goal of the playoffs – he scored just nine in 54 regular-season games – to provide the insurance goal, and Santaguida did the rest. The netminder was especially good late in the second period, when Penticton pressed for a goal

Santaguida’s best stop came off Vees’ Brad McClure, who jumped on a rebound at the side of the net and appeared to have a sure goal, but Santaguida got the paddle of his stick across the goal line to keep the puck out. Santaguida didn’t have to be quite as good in Friday’s opening win, only facing 33 shots on net. In fact, neither team mounted

much in the way of offense in the first period – the shots were only 4-1 in favour of the Vees halfway through the frame – but the visitors got on the board first when Brook Balson, charing through the slot, tipped a shot over Santaguida’s shoulder. The Eagles answered back near the end of the period when Peninsula native Michael Stenerson scored a shorthanded goal that relied on luck as much as skill. Stenerson, rushing into the Vees’ zone one-on-two, cut to the middle

of the ice and shot. His wrist shot was stopped by Penticton keeper Chad Katunar, but the rebound bounced off a defenceman standing in front and back into the net. “I just threw it on net, and it went off the goalie’s chest and then off one of their player’s backs,” Stenerson explained. “Bit of a weird one, but you take ‘em anyway you can get ‘em, especially in the playoffs.” The goal seemed to swing the momentum into Surrey’s favour, and give the team some jump in their skates.

“That shorthanded goal was huge for us,” Erhart said. The momentum continued to swing the Eagles’ way in the second period, thanks to a string of Penticton power plays. Early in the period, Stenerson – who has eight goals in 11 playoff games, and five in his last three – and Craig Wyszomirski scored 31 seconds apart to boost the home team to a 3-1 lead. “In the first period, it was pretty nerve-wracking for both teams,” Stenerson said. “You just wanna get the butterflies out and keep it simple. I thought we were a lot better in the second.” Both second-period goals came on a long 5-on-3, as Penticton was forced to serve three penalties in the early-going of the period. First, Vees’ Thomas Nitsche took an interference penalty, and while on the way to the penalty box, took a swing at a nearby Eagle, and was whistled for roughing, as well. Then, 1:31 later, Robert Mann was called for slashing. With three penalties at once, the Vees stayed down two men even after Stenerson’s first goal. It was only after Wyszomirski’s marker - which came on a shot from the point - that the Penticton got one man out of the box. “I didn’t know quite how that was going to work, with the three penalties and the five-on-three, but I’m not complaining,” said Erhart after the game. With the Eagles up 3-1 in front of a standing-room-only crowd at South Surrey Arena (and even those standing were three-deep in places), Penticton’s Wade Murphy cut the lead to 3-2 midway through the second period. The third period was scoreless unti Hannoun restored Surrey’s twogoal lead. Pierog made it 5-2 with an empty-net goal with 15 seconds remaining. The next game at South Surrey Arena, if necessary, is Game 5, which is slated for Thursday.

Building a home that will work for a lifetime is about more than looking at trip hazards.

When you think about safety in your home, you probably think of aging in place. While some of those principles are good things to keep in mind, having a safer home goes far beyond installing a stair-lift or removing trip hazards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have a safe home without taking away from the beauty of a home,â&#x20AC;? says David

The five-bedroom home was in dire need of updating. It had previously gone through several renovations, but the configuration wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working for the family of four plus a nanny who now live in the home. With the help of Vision Built Homes, the Vancouver home is now modernized and perfect for the owners.

Rebuilding a family home for the long-term By Maggie Calloway There is a trend, especially in the Vancouver real estate market, of families making the decision to do a full-house renovation rather than selling and buying another home. That is certainly the case with this family and for the same reasons as many other families: they are settled in the neighbourhood, they like the schools and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to work. But the house, which had been renovated by previous owners, was stuck in the 1980s. The configuration of the rooms didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for the family and there was a lot of wasted space because some rooms were isolated and consequently were not used. It was time for a fresh start and a reconfiguration of the whole house so the family could utilize the space properly. The contractor chosen for the job was Tobias Puga of Vision Built Homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This house is a five-bedroom suburban home, about 50

years old, which the family has lived in for seven years. It had gone through several renovations but was very dated and need a complete renovation to work for the family of four plus a nanny,â&#x20AC;? Puga says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started taking the stucco down we could see where doors and windows had been patched and made to fit during a previous renovation. We took the roof off and extended the second floor to the front of the house, which added two bedrooms. We installed a 24-foot-long steel beam above the living room and made the ceiling flat and that was mirrored on the basement floor as well.â&#x20AC;? Fifty per cent of the basement was dug down, lowered and underpinned to increase the ceiling height to just over eight feet then pushed back 10 feet to increase the size of the laundry room and media room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now in the basement they have a small wine room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a media room,â&#x20AC;? Puga says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upstairs we switched around the kitchen from the west side to

the east side of the house ... and got rid of the French doors and opened that wall up to a 14-foot by 7-foot glass double sliders which flooded the space with light. The old kitchen space became the family room entertainment space.â&#x20AC;? Jenny Martin of Jenny Martin Design was very much involved in designing both the new space as well as pulling together the interior design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project was gutted down to the bone and the clients were fantastic, they gave us full control and just said make it work and look fabulous, so it was a great experience,â&#x20AC;? Martin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still giving us feedback, saying every time they wake up they feel like they are in a W Hotel. The home has an edge and real character which they just love, so we are all so pleased they are so happy.â&#x20AC;? The success of this remodeled home is in the way each member of the family is happy and comfortable in the space and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bottom line of what a family home should be.

Safety at no extra cost to the homeowners â&#x20AC;&#x153; from page.1

Shepherd, manager of finance and administration for MLK Properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a stereotypical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;accessibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home.â&#x20AC;? The SAFERhome Standards Society, sponsored by the Homeowner Protection Office, BC Housing, the Vancouver Resource Society and the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia, lays out a 19-point list for homebuilders and buyers to ensure that their home is built to conform to certain principles, called universal home design. Such principles will allow developers and builders to construct homes that will stand the test of time and ensure continued safety for residents of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens. Among the standards are wider hallways, flush exterior thresholds and outlets that are set higher than usual. Outlets that are placed higher on the wall mean that those with back problems will find it easier to plug in their appliances as they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to bend as far to reach them. Similarly, light switches should be placed six inches lower than usual to lessen the difference between tall and short members of the family, and prevent people having to reach for the switch. According to the SAFERhome Standards, the original height of 48 inches was to accommodate wainscoting, which is no longer a favoured design detail. Making the light switch lower also gives you the ability to switch it on or off with your elbow (depend-

ing on your height) if your hands are full; something that would be incredibly convenient when you come in with the groceries! Wider hallways are built to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, should the homeowner require them in the future. A shower without a lip to step over is another requirement, to prevent people from falling when they step into the shower. Regulations over where the shower controls are located (closer to the edge instead of in the centre) is one of the 19 standards that a builder must comply with. It is also recommended that a homeowner install more than one showerhead to cater to people of differing heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want these homes to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foreverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes,â&#x20AC;? Shepherd says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone should be able to live there long-term.â&#x20AC;? MLK Properties is currently selling a home in Richmond that has been built to conform with SAFERhome Standards. It is the first such home in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes are so subtle that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost invisible,â&#x20AC;? Shepherd says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless you know about it, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice that the hallways are wider or the outlets are higher. But they make a huge difference.â&#x20AC;? Shepherd notes that if a home is built to include these standards, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add any cost to the homeowner because outlets, light switches and other things must still be installed.

Great design on a budget By Kerry Vital Great interior design doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether it’s a small change to the colour of your walls or a new piece of trendy decor, there are many ways to keep your budget intact while still having an amazing home. “Paint is possibly the cheapest investment you can make and has the potential to be the most dramatic,” says Sheryn Calvert of Calvert Design Studio. “It is also easy to change; pick a bold, trending colour that you love – and then change it when it’s ‘out’ or you get tired of it in a few years.” She suggests that people who are looking to stick to their budget do some browsing in a secondhand shop, or reupholster or repurpose an item that they already have. “Think outside of the box to create unique pieces for your home,” Calvert says. “You can also customize low-cost items. Plain white bookcase? Add some wallpaper for colour and texture.” Being creative and doing it yourself will benefit you in non-budgetary ways. It can also make for a great conversation piece when you tell people that you made something yourself. Calvert notes that buying a blank canvas and painting it yourself can make for a wonderful piece of art for your wall. “Almost anything can be a piece of art or accessory if you put your mind to it,” she says. Her final tip is to be patient. “Stores will have huge blowout and clearance sales every once in awhile, and it is definitely worth it to wait for those amazing finds,” Calvert says. “Sign up for email newsletters to know when a sale is happening. You can also go to a showroom and look for ‘as-is’ or floor models.”

Calvert points out that there are a few things that you shouldn’t try, no matter how inexpensive they are. “In a bag. If these words are included in the title of your purchase, walk away,” she says. “Design has moved forward from ‘matchy matchy’ to an eclectic, more personal style.” She also warns about the trend towards open storage in the kitchen. “Can anyone always keep their cupboards 100 per cent organized? I know that I can’t. Closed storage with touchlatch hardware looks a lot better than the typical pots and pans cupboard.” Another trend that Calvert says is on the way out is dark wood. Instead, she notes that clients are leaning more towards medium or light tones instead. “Lighter finishes make your room have a lighter, more open feel to it,” she says. “Grey-toned flooring is extremely hot right now!”

Beautiful interior decor doesn’t have to be expensive. Adding a pop of colour or finding a cool wall decal can spice up a room. Submitted photos

Keeping yourself organized By Maggie Calloway So you bit the bullet and tackled the house room by room: piles to the charity shop, piles to the trash and your “keepers” also in a pile ready to be put back in closets, drawers and cupboards but you are loath to cram everything back into closets with one hanging bar with everything else once again piled on the floor or back into drawers almost never to be seen again. So what can you do? Troy Bell, of Unique Storage & Organizers has some advice. “This is exactly the time to put in systems which not only get you organized now but keep you organized going forward,” he says. “We do everything from bedroom reach-in closets to walk-in closets, and everywhere else in the house which needs an organizing system tailored to how the family lives.” The entryway or if the family is lucky enough to have a designated mudroom is the first line of defense to keep the outdoor clothes, sports equipment and Fido’s paraphernalia contained. “If there is room we like to install a locker for each member of the family so they have their own little cubby if you will,” Bell says. “They can put their coats on a hook, hang their backpack, and put their helmets and skateboards in there, shoes and boots. But if you live in a condo or a townhouse there is

much less room in the entryway; most of the time there is a reach-in closet so I came up with a design a number of years ago to maximize that limited space. If you want to stay organized it is imperative there are designated places for things; if not they just get dumped.” The garage is another place of entry to the home and here again systems are needed to stop outdoor clothes and toys from cluttering the home. The garage is also in danger of becoming the place to pile things with no designated home. “If you are entering and exiting your home through the garage, people don’t generally hang their coats there. Hooks to hang wet coats is a good idea, but they will take their shoes off so we will put a shelving system in there to hold all the shoes otherwise they end up piled on the landing or on the steps,” Bell says. “The other great organizing system people like next to the ... door in the garage are bins for recycling which gets them out of the kitchen.”

Keeping yourself organized starts with getting rid of clutter. Installing a great storage solution for what you keep will go a long way towards fixing the problem. Submitted photos

Integrating the home office into your space By Maggie Calloway More and more people are either working full-time from home or bringing a significant part of their workload home plus managing the household finances, scheduling of everyone going in different directions and staying in touch with friends and relatives through social media. Whew! For those of us who work from home a designated space is crucial. Trying to be productive when work is scattered from the dining room table to the kitchen counter does not bode well for your sanity, never mind productivity. Aris Catevatis, Principal with Ace Integrated Systems, who specialize in wiring and installing systems in both home and corporate offices, says, “We first-of-all do a site visit to figure out the design and layout of the room and how it’s going to be used. Where is the desk going to be placed, is the television going to be used as a monitor? You can have a small monitor on your desk but you can also connect your laptop or your PC to the television for watching movies or hold a meeting where everyone needs to be able to see what’s on the screen.” If you are doing a renovation and the room has been stripped back to the studs, this is the time to call in the experts to install the correct wiring to handle all the electronics. It is a good idea to wire-up two or three different locations, instead of the usual one, so there is built-in flexibility. The way technology is moving at breakneck speed, it makes sense to pre-wire instead of trying to make an inadequate system expand. For those who don’t need a designated home office the idea of having a desk and separate monitors is a thing of the past. “Nowadays our clients integrate their current living rooms, master bedrooms, media rooms/family room, theatres and even kitchen television screens; they are now being used as offices, controlled by Control4 Remotes and in-wall touchscreens, to control the computer, television, Apple TV, media player, all from the iPhone or Android in everyone’s pocket, or they can even use an iPad or any PC tablet to control the (audio-visual) equipment and computers,” Catevatis says. “Updating files between your home computer, laptop, tablet and phone (has) never been easier. Spreadsheets, PDF files, photos and even media can be shared in seconds with programs like

Dropbox which offers free service. Plus, if you want to view your home surveillance system from your computer or phone from anywhere in the world that can be wired in at the same time.” Gone are the days when setting up a home office meant calling your service provider to come in and install a simple jack. Aris Catevatis of Ace Integrated Systems notes that most people don’t have a dedicated home office anymore, and instead integrate it with another room, such as the media room, bedroom or family room.

Taking the time to sit down and have a meal as a family By Maggie Calloway The boom in farmers markets, cooking classes, wine appreciation seminars and the run on kitchenware stores plus the resurgence of the family dinner leads to the next step of wanting a dining room, more specifically a dining table, around which the family can gather. Life-long memories are made around the dining table; it’s where the family connects with each other and where the day’s joys and sorrows are discussed. Serving dinner on the kitchen table somehow doesn’t lend itself to the importance of the occasion. Adherents to the philosophy of Feng Shui have very strict requirements of this family room but we all want to dine in a room which welcomes us, is calm and warm with space for family and friends and has comfortable chairs. No one wants to linger at the table if they are uncomfortable; certainly not kids! Nadine Miller and her husband Bjarne Holt, owners of home furnishing store Casa in Vancouver, are passionate about providing the dining table and chairs to enhance the home-dining experience. Holt apprenticed in his native Denmark with internationally renowned designers and craftsmen during and after attending one of the top woodworking schools in Europe. He brings over 40 years of experience and his very high standards to Casa and his fabulous bespoke dining tables and chairs. “We are very excited to announce we are setting up a studio for Bjarne right in the store so customers can see him at work and appreciate the great attention to detail in every piece,” Miller says. Some of the beautiful tables at Casa are made from one old Sunshine Coast maple tree. “This old-growth maple was not felled

There are a wide variety of styles available when it comes to furnishing your dining room. From a modern style with clear chairs, above, to a classic wood look, bottom right, you’ll find no shortage of options. Martin Knowles photos

but sourced after it naturally fell from old age. Some of the tables are combined with African Bubinga wood or Birdseye Maple,” Miller says. “Some of this very valuable maple wood is still available so if you are looking for a custom size it just may be possible. Imagine having a dining table which is numbered, signed and a limited edition.” In this era of every family member running off in different directions it is even more important that at least a few evenings a week are put aside to take time to cook together then sit around a beautiful table and, dare we

say it, talk. And if you are looking for more reasons to take the time and dine together, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University reports that children who eat with their families at least five times a week are at a lower risk of weight problems and developing unhealthy dependences such as alcohol and drugs. So plan ahead, include the whole family in preparing meals and let’s get back to spending time with each other. There is no downside and everything to gain.
