Joining the ‘million-dollar pension club’ Defeated MLAs, retirees to share $26 million in payouts

by Jeff Nagel WITH THE B.C. election now over, a long list of departing MLAs – both Liberals and New Democrats – are now in line for lucrative pensions, whether they retired voluntarily or were defeated at the polls.

The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) estimates the total payouts to MLAs who didn’t win or seek re-election could top $26 million. The government injects $4 for every dollar politicians contribute, and the resulting pensions are also inflation adjusted. “The MLA pension payout ATM is spitting out cash at a rate taxpayers can only dream of,” CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “A dozen former MLAs will soon join the million-dollar pension club

– while most of us are scraping together every nickel we can find for our own retirements.” Departing NDP MLAs in the Lower Mainland and their estimated payouts to age 80 include: SurreyFleetwood NDP MLA Jagrup Brar ($555,000); Delta-North NDP MLA Guy Gentner ($500,000); Coquitlam-Maillardville’s Diane Thorne ($461,000); and Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MLA Michael Sather ($490,000).

Toddler tumbles out of a window Three-year-old girl suffers concussion after screen gives way by Kevin Diakiw A TODDLER is lucky to be alive

after tumbling out of a window in Newton last week. At about 8:30 p.m. Thursday (May 16), a three-year-old girl was playing in a residence in the 14000-block of 77 Avenue. She was on the living room couch when she pushed against a screen window, popping it from its frame, which caused her to tumble out and down to the ground. She fell four metres (12 feet) to a garden and concrete walkway below. The girl did not suffer external injuries, but was treated for a concussion at Royal Columbian Hospital and then released. “This is an unfortunate accident that we see time and time again once the weather warms up in our region,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger. “As a RCMP Sgt. result we are Drew Grainger reminding residents to please take the necessary precautions to ensure your family’s safety.” Grainger said screen windows need to be secured from children’s access in order to prevent these accidents. “Open screen windows provide an illusion of security and having furniture and play apparatus near these windows only compounds the problem and is a recipe for disaster,” Grainger said. “We recommend parents secure open windows with a device that will not allow children to fit through and if at all possible, have your child play in an area that is not elevated to minimize those types of risks.” With the Victoria Day holiday weekend being the unofficial start to summer, the Surrey RCMP are reminding the public to be extra vigilant when it comes to areas of risk where young people are vulnerable, such as waterways, roadways, and other outdoor recreational activities. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

ever mind the class clown, an entire circus has taken over the classroom. And the students in this Kwantlen Park Secondary program get school credits – whether they walk on stilts, juggle balls, spin plates, twirl a poi (a tailed paper fish), balance on a “rola bola” or play in comedy skits in small, twittering groups. “They’re juggling almost every day,” says Grade 12 student Claudia Bédard, 17, a veteran of Cirque Surrey who gives advice to her acrobatic acolytes on stilts while perfecting her own juggling. “It’s really an open class.” She joined the program in Grade 10 when it was a pilot project at the school. Two years later, it’s a fully credited performing arts class made up of mostly Grade 10 students – with a focus on the show-me skills of magicians, mimes, roving performers and actors. Amid the free-range activity and noise in the school theatre, guest instructor and juggler/ entertainer Mike Battie points to a small group that have a specific goals in mind: A skit based on Idol-style competition. “They’re practising their juggling because they’re doing scenes that have juggling integrated into the scenes.” After the group rehearses their skit, the students get back into their random melee: Cassandra Tobin and Katarina Annas take turns on stilts while Hannah Yang spins plates on a stick and Bédard concentrates on twirling her poi. The program, partly funded by the City of Surrey, officially started in February – previous audition-

based Cirque Surrey versions were experimental, with serious performers who performed at community events such as Winterfest, the Fusion Festival and Canada Day. This year, it’s intended for Grade 10 students of all skill levels, says Kwantlen Park Secondary teacher Laurie Brazzill. Students can focus on either their acting or roving skills to connect with the public. “It’s a really neat way to involve some of the students who are not as verbal as some of the actors are,” says Brazzill. Outside of class, the Cirque Surrey students have had the opportunity to practice their roles at local venues, including roving performances at the Party for the Planet at the Central City Plaza on April 27. Next up for Cirque Surrey: Roving performers at The Surrey Children’s Festival, which takes place May 23-25 at Bear Creek Park.

The Surrey Children’s Festival THE NINTH-ANNUAL SURREY Children’s Festival

runs May 23 and 24 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and May 25 from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Bear Creek Park, 13750 88 Ave. This year’s line-up of performers ranges from a preschool performance from Australia, Grug, and Alberta circus performers The Chairmen. Medicine Bear is dance theatre from Toronto, while Grand Dérangement gets kids moving with Acadian music from Nova Scotia. The Spirit of Harriet Tubman from Ontario and a film from the U.K., The Itch of the Golden Nit, round out festival ticketed performances. Six ticketed headline performances are $10 each and an all-access pass is available on Saturday for $12 to all the performances (subject to availability) and activities on site. Entrance to the festival is free, as are many community performances and art activities.

Guy Gentner in Burnaby-Lougheed ($720,000); Chilliwack’s John Les ($835,000); Surrey-Tynehead’s Dave Hayer ($824,000); Joan McIntyre in West Vancouver-Sea-to-Sky ($568,000). Defeated independent John Van Dongen, who served for years as a B.C. Liberal, exits with a pension valued at $1.48 million. First-year payouts range from $30,000 to as much as $98,000 in Campbell’s case. Exiting MLAs also receive up to 15 months of severance at the $101,859 MLA annual salary –which includes a top-up if the politician takes a job at less than six figures. They are also eligible for up to $9,000 in “training” funds. “Not only do these MLAs receive overly generous pensions, they get a severance package and training money,” Bateman said. “Taxpayers are on the hook for millions just to transition these politicians back to the real world.” He noted the B.C. Liberals ran against “goldplated” pensions in 1996 and then NDP premier Glen Clark brought in a fairer, dollar-for-dollar system. But the Liberals in 2007 brought back ultra-generous pensions and let MLAs buy back missing years of service. The CTF didn’t include Premier Christy Clark – who lost her VancouverPoint Grey seat to the NDP’s David Eby – but says if she walked away from politics today, her lifetime pension would be $1.03 million.

ELECTIONS

Ditch the pollsters

RAESIDE

ollsters are going to have to come up with a different formula for how to gauge public voting methodology prior to elections, because their last two attempts have been so far off they’re on the verge of rendering themselves incompetent. All major pollsters had written the B.C. Liberals off prior to Tuesday’s provincial election – not one of the polling companies got it right. The surprising Liberal win could have been considered a fluke, except that pollsters also blew it in Alberta’s election in 2012, predicting incorrectly the Wildrose Alliance would win over the Conservatives. The Conservatives cruised to victory. These misfires lead to the inevitable question: Should pollsters play a role in elections? The truth is they do. While some voters are consistently faithful to a certain political party, a significant amount decide who they will vote for in the final days or hours before casting a ballot. Polls play a part in the decision-making process, and therefore election outcomes. They shouldn’t. One has to wonder how much of a role the inaccurate polling and resulting media attention played in Tuesday’s election results. Pollsters blamed low voter turnout – only 52 per cent of the eligible electorate voted – and fickle young voters for their poor projections, but aren’t these the very people who would be most influenced by polls? The bottom line is polling has become more of an obstacle in the election process than an asset. Elections belong to the people, not the pollsters. Does it really matter which party has the momentum three months, three weeks or three days before an election? Not really. As any veteran politician will tell you, one day in politics can feel like a year. Next time, let’s leave it to the pollsters to predict trivial things like Canadian Idol winners or hockey champions, and leave the important stuff, like elections, to the real experts: the public. – Black Press

he pollsters, pundits and the selfstyled rebels of the B.C. Liberal party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their long fight against the Harmonized Sales Tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea?

one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

Democracy flawed by voter apathy

there is A major flaw with

our democratic system – not enough people vote in elections nowadays. In this last election where the B.C. Liberals won, just over half of the people eligible to vote actually voted, and yet we still called it a Liberal majority government. This doesn’t work, because a majority government should mean that it represents the opinion of the majority of people in B.C. Some reforms in the election system would make voting more fair, such as only declaring a majority government if over half of the population in B..C that were eligible to vote had voted for the party. But the biggest, most effective change would be to get young adults who can vote to vote in elections. Many voters nowadays are middle-aged or older people, which makes up about half of B.C.’s population. As these people get older, the majority of people eligible to vote will be today’s young adults, who likely won’t vote. If this trend continues, eventually there will be very few votes in total, and our democratic system will become ineffective.

A letter by a Mr. Daryl Dela

too few people are voting in provincial elections, argues a letter-writer.

Liberal victory isn’t the best result

election results. Everyone has their own views, but as a teen who attends a high school with increasing class sizes, and having dealt with the teacher’s strike, the B.C. Liberals don’t seem like such a great choice. I understand that Premier Christy Clark has done a lot for the province: increasing the minimum wage to $10.25; implementing a 10-point, $2-million anti-bullying strategy; establishing an Independent Investigations Office to investigate serious cases involving police officers; and many more things and I acknowledge that. But if we think about other aspects that spark growing tension, the Liberals have not touched upon the many situations that are leading the province to a complete downfall. The Liberals cut $16 million in student loan funds, with no warning, leaving students unable to attend classes and wreaking chaos on families who are already financially strapped. They applied cuts to surgeries in B.C., diagnostic and rehabilitation services, community out-

reach services, horrific cuts to domestic violence programs and violence against women outreach and counselling programs, and cuts to many vital medical and health related items previously funded for those on income assistance. The B.C. Liberals played a huge role in the 2012 BCTF strike. Since then, relations between the BCTF and the B.C. Liberal government have been spiteful. The Liberals have been a disaster for the most vulnerable people in this society. I believe a majority of B.C. residents are middle-class families. After reviewing the list of the party’s highlights, I think they seem to support issues that are of no interest to average families. They focus on situations that do not apply to a majority of us. The NDP on the other hand, does. I was extremely hopeful that the NDP would win a majority of the votes, but this stunning comefrom-behind victory has made me concerned about not just my education, but my family and society as well. The NDP works towards improving public

education, investing in our future. They want to build a sustainable economy and create new jobs. They want to reduce poverty and inequality and improve healthcare in B.C. These are all situations which everyone in B.C. can undoubtedly relate to. Defeated SurreyFleetwood NDP MLA Jagrup Brar is a significant example of the NDP’s dedication towards drawing attention to issues of poverty and unemployment in B.C. Brar embarked on a welfare challenge for a month, and this lead to a $20 increase in welfare rates. I know $20 is not a lot, but for those on welfare, it’s a difference between a full stomach and starvation. At least the NDP addressed a societal issue making a change, unlike the Liberals. As leader Adrian Dix stated after Tuesday night’s election results, “sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, and in B.C. it often rains.” I guess it’s only a matter of four more years.

Why do road work in rush hour? this morning at 8 a.m., hundreds of drivers and myself were stuck in the traffic at South Fraser Perimeter Road for almost an hour due to road work on Bridgeview Drive. There was no way out. It is difficult for me to understand why the city would have granted permission for road work during morning rush hours that can potentially cause a traffic backlog of

one hour or more for a five-minute stretch of road. This is evidence of neglect and lack of judgement on the part of the administration. If the administration is unable to manage the work schedule themselves, then we should have a new bylaw to ban all road work during rush hours. Peter Lim

Cruz grossly misinforms the public about modern light rail (LRT). The difference between modern LRT and a streetcar is the concept of the “reserved rights-of-way” or a R-o-W for the exclusive use of a streetcar – in layman’s terms, a HOV lane with rails. The reserved R-o-W enables the modern streetcar to operate as fast as and carry as many or more transit customers than an elevated light-metro like SkyTrain, The fact is, modern LRT made SkyTrain obsolete almost two decades ago. Modern LRT can operate at speed of 80 km/h to 90 km/h at grade on a reserved R-o-W in complete safety and does in hundreds of cities around the world. Accidents do happen on LRT lines when car drivers disobey signals, but when a rare accident does occur, only a portion of the line affected is closed and in most cases the streetcars can be easily switched to the unaffected line to continue their journey. At-grade LRT actually is better in attracting new ridership than grade-separated mini-metros like SkyTrain, simply because stations or stops are handier and easier to use. LRT is far more convenient than SkyTrain and convenience attracts customers. Since TransLink has no experience in planning and building with LRT, I would question any transit plan presented by TransLink, but since modern LRT can handle higher capacities than SkyTrain, future customer demands would be of little problem. Today, in Karlsruhe Germany, the main tram (streetcar) line on Kaiserstrasse is dealing with peak -hour capacities in excess of 40,000 persons per hour per direction. This is 10,000 persons per hour per direction more than the maximum theoretical capacity of the SkyTrain mini-metro. SkyTrain does not have lower operating costs than LRT; instead the opposite is true. SkyTrain costs about 40 per cent more to operate when compared to modern LRT. Since SkyTrain was first marketed in the 1970s, only seven systems have been built and not one was allowed to compete against LRT. During the same period, over 160 new LRT systems have been built, with a further 30 under construction. It seems knowledgeable transit planners around the world do not support the Dela Cruz’s SkyTrain hype and hoopla.

NOTICE OF TEMPORARY INDUSTRIAL USE PERMIT

The Council of the City of Surrey proposes to pass a resolution to issue a Temporary Industrial Use Permit, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Act, at the Regular Council – Public Hearing meeting in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 14245 - 56 Avenue, Surrey, B.C., on Monday, May 27, 2013, commencing at 7:00 p.m.. PERMIT NO. 7913-0038-00 APPLICANT: 0960134 B.C. Ltd. c/o Gurtaj Grewal #202, 13281 – 72 Avenue Surrey, BC V3W 2N5 ADDRESS: 10926 Scott Road (also shown as 10928 Scott Road) PURPOSE: To allow a security guard training school to operate on the site for a period not to exceed three (3) years. DEVELOPMENT LOCATION MAP

Metro may order public meetings on coal dust risk Region’s power limited in plans for expansion in Surrey by Jeff Nagel Metro VancouVer could order its own public meetings into controversial plans to build a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey that opponents claim could risk public health. Senior officials at the regional district confirmed public meetings are possible on the application by the terminal proponent for a Metro air quality permit. The proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks is being considered by Port Metro Vancouver and coal dust emissions are a major concern of residents near the terminal and along the BNSF train route through White Rock, Surrey and Delta. Metro environment and parks committee chair Heather Deal said a decision on whether to hold public meetings will depend on the degree of public feedback to initial advertising by Metro of the permitting process. The meetings would not be full public hearings – as demanded by coal export opponents. They’ve criticized the transparency of the port’s review process and say the open house format used by Fraser Surrey Docks is designed to quell dissent. New open houses have been scheduled for the evening of May 23 and afternoon of May 25 at the Sheraton Guildford in Surrey. The issue was again before the Metro committee Thursday, where climate change activist and UBC political science professor Kathryn Harrison said the port’s consultations are fundamentally flawed. “This is a critical moment and a critical decision,” she said. Another coal opponent, Erica

Frank, claimed several hundreds of pounds of coal dust escape each rail car and said a coating agent used to encrust the coal loads to minimize dust is toxic and contains heavy metals. Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott said her statements are “very misleading.” He denied the binding agent is hazardous. “It’a glue-like substance,” Scott said. “It’s soluble. We think it’s safe to add to the coal and it’s been added to the coal for several years now – without issue.” He said the statistics she cited on escaping coal are from BNSF railway but are out of date, adding dust loss has dropped more than 85 per cent since the adoption of various control methods. Almost all coal escapes in the U.S. within five miles of the mine, he said, and escaping dust is undetectable by the time trains reach the Canadian border. Coal has been hauled by rail through Metro Vancouver for decades to a terminal in Deltaport and another in North Vancouver, where an expansion is already approved. The new Surrey terminal – which would handle four million tonnes per year – would increase Port Metro Vancouver’s coalhandling capacity by eight per cent to 54 million tonnes. It would add one more coal train round trip per day and create 50 jobs – half at the terminal and the rest running barges or reloading coal onto ocean-going ships at Texada Island. Scott said the planned dustcontrol system is very safe and reliable. Unloading of coal trains would

be done in an enclosed area at the proposed terminal, and the conveyor belt and barge loading area would also be enclosed. Barges would be sprayed with water to suppress dust before they sail. Asked if water could be sprayed onto the coal on barges while in transit, Scott said combination systems have been considered but aren’t yet thought necessary. Barges wouldn’t sail when winds exceed 40 kilometres per hour, but Richmond Coun. Harold Steves warned a squall stronger than that can whip up quickly. There are no plans so far to cover the barges or the rail cars. That’s a concern for the committee’s chair. “There have been studies done,” Deal said. “Unless they’re covered cars, the coal jostles around and breaks up as it travels and continually emits dust.” A committee resolution opposing increased coal exports in the Fraser River estuary will go to a full vote of the Metro board May 24. A staff report had recommended the wording express “concern” rather than opposition, but the original resolution is advancing to the board. Metro has no authority to stop the project. Its jurisdiction is limited to air emissions at the terminal itself, not from trains along the railway or the barge movements down the Fraser River. An amendment to the resolution asks the port, Transport Canada and Environment Canada to address emission risks not under Metro control.

Pipeline clears hurdle Regulators approve planned tolls for oil companies in Kinder Morgan project

by Jeff Nagel Kinder Morgan

Canada has cleared one hurdle on the way to building a proposed second pipeline to carry Alberta oil sands crude through B.C. to Burrard Inlet. The National Energy Board (NEB) has approved the company’s commercial tolling application, the rate structure it intends to charge oil companies to use the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline. It’s not an approval to begin construction. A formal proposal to build the pipeline is expected to be filed by Kinder Morgan later this year, triggering public hearings similar to those still underway on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. “The decision reinforces the market support for our expansion plans and it provides us the necessary economic certainty to proceed,” Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said in a statement. “As we continue the process, we look forward to working with the new B.C. government and will remain committed to listening to questions and concerns as we develop our application to file with the NEB later this year.”

The NEB decision ruled Kinder Morgan’s rates are just and reasonable, rejecting complaints of oil firms that argued the pipeline company would reap excessive profits. A second decision is also expected soon from the NEB on an application by Chevron for priority access to oil from the pipeline to supply its Burnaby refinery. The $5.4-billion Trans Mountain twinning project would boost the flow of petroleum products from 300,000 barrels per day now to 890,000, bringing about 400 tankers a year to the Burnaby terminal. Burnaby NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, who opposes the pipeline project, said the NEB missed an opportunity with the tolling application to order a surcharge on each barrel of oil to help fund environmental protection and spill response initiatives in B.C. He said the federal Conservative government has drastically clamped down on the public hearing process, and predicted Kinder Morgan hearings will be far less inclusive than the Enbridge hearings.

I had an amazing experience and knew UBC was the right place for me.” Dichuk helped Fraser Heights to bronze medal finishes at the BC Boys Senior AAA

High School Volleyball Championships in 2011 and 2012, and was a tournament secondteam all-star both times. “A very appealing thing about UBC was that I would be playing on a national championship contending team every year and get a degree from such a prestigious university,” THE LEADER - 1/4 Page Ad | 3 column Ad (4.3125” x 8”) said Dichuk.

He also earned an assist in four games with the B.C. Hockey League’s Surrey Eagles this past season, and played in nine playoff games during a playoff run that saw the Eagles win a Fred Page Cup and a provincial Junior A championship. “Tanner is a smart and reliable blueliner with good size who also has the skill to contribute on offense and on the power-play,” said Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “He was a leader and a key player in North Delta this season, and he’s also been gaining some great experience with the Surrey Eagles during their very successful playoff run. He brings all the ingredients to be a successful athlete at the college level.” Lenting will join a number of fellow Saints recruits in Selkirk’s Business Administration program. “I chose Selkirk College based on their winning hockey program and from having heard nothing but good things about the experience from my friends on the team,” says Lenting, who describes himself as a solid stay-at-home defenseman who makes a good first pass. “I’m looking forward to helping the Saints’ capture another BCIHL championship while also continuing to improve my own game.”

High school soccer team claims Fraser Valley championship

by Rick Kupchuk

Although seeded

third among the eight teams competing, the Burnsview Griffins won a fourth-consecutive Fraser Valley Senior AA girls high school soccer championship Wednesday afternoon in Coquitlam. The Griffins capped a three-game run through the competition with 2-1 victory over the top-seed Archbishop Carney Stars, and will go into the B.C. Championship tournament May 30 to June 1 in Courtenay as the Fraser Valley champions. Myranda Willis was set up by Michelle Hashimoto for the first Burnsview goal, and Courtney Badali took a pass from Kylee Walker to score on a breakaway for the second. The Griffins received strong play from defenders Olivia Kappeli, Robyn Abe, Brooke Schlossarke and Emma Peckinpaugh. Burnsivew finished first in the Fraser Valley West league with five wins and a tie in six games, outscoring the opposition 24-1. The Griffins, playing at home for the first two games of the Fraser Valley tournament, blanked the St. John Brebeuf Bears 1-0 in a first-round game, then topped the M.E.I. Eagles of Abbotsford 3-1 in a semifinal match. Burnsview won the provincial title in 2010 and 2011, but placed fifth last year. The Surrey Christian Falcons also qualified for the Senior AA provincial tournament, clinching a third-place

finish at the Fraser Valley tournament with a 2-0 win over M.E.I. on Wednesday. The Falcons won their first game of the competition 2-0 on the road against the

Pitt Meadows Marauders, then fell 2-0 to Archbishop Carney. A 6-3 victory over Abbotsford Traditional high school clinched a top-four finish and a place at the provincials

in Courtenay. Surrey Christian, second to the Griffins in the West league with five wins and a loss, was the fifth-seed at the Fraser Valley tournament.

A different kind of duplex

Abstract Homes and Renovationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandro Stefanucci has a new spin on a classic duplex.

By Kerry Vital A classic duplex is easily recognizable, with its two single-family homes sharing a common wall in the middle. Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abstract Homes and Renovation is shaking up your perception of a duplex with their unique back-to-front design. Instead of having the homes side-by-side, the second home is attached directly behind the first one and accessed by a path

The two rooms most likely to cement or reject the sale or purchase of a house are the kitchen and bathroom. They are also the most expensive to renovate. Unlike every other room in the house, there is so much going on in these rooms, including plumbing which is sometimes quite complicated, electrical, tiling and drains, just to mention a few. So when planning a renovation you have to get it right because mistakes can be costly. Buyers know they can renovate most rooms with flooring and paint but bathrooms take renovation to a whole new level of expense and your potential buyer is doing sums in their head to figure out how much tearing out and renovating is going to cost on top of the purchase price as they tour your house. There are many choices to make these days, which each come with consequences. Among the options are oversize steam showers, bathtubs carved out of a single piece of rock, marble floors and walls, double sinks; the list goes on. Not always taken into consideration when planning the renovation of an older home is weight. Homes built in years gone by may not be structurally sound

A home for aging in place “ from page.1 down the side of the property. Located on Commercial Drive, space was at a premium on the lot, giving rise to this creative floorplan that gives each home 2,000 square feet of living space. “It doesn’t look like a duplex,” says Sandro Stefanucci, president and founder of Abstract Homes. “The aesthetics make a big difference.” Stefanucci and his wife Cheri live in one half of the duplex, and rent out the other half. The original purpose of that second half is to give his parents a home that they can live in for the long term. Thus, Stefanucci has included an elevator shaft in order to allow them to access all four levels of the home. That space is currently being used as closet storage. Other accessible features include doors that are three feet wide, in order to allow wheelchairs to fit through them. Grab bars and a roll-in shower in the ensuite bathroom are able to be installed easily. Stefanucci himself was born on the street, and the lot where the duplex now stands belonged to his family. His grandfather purchased the property in 1956, and Stefanucci was

happy to be able to keep it in the family after his parents were forced to leave the neighbourhood as they aged. “The best use of the land was to build a new house,” he says, noting that the original house was not a heritage property. However, he ran into a few problems when demolishing and re-building. Among them was a long permit process and the challenges involved with removing a house that was so close to its neighbours. In the end the new duplex was worth all the trouble, and Stefanucci and his family are happy with the results. The duplex was the winner of the Georgie Award for Best Duplex in 2012, something that Stefanucci is very proud of. “It fits in with the other homes” on the street, he notes. “You can do your living on the first and second floor,” Stefanucci says, adding that the second floor is a master bedroom with ensuite. The laundry facilities are also on this floor. Stefanucci’s parents have not yet moved in, but he says the home will be there for them when they’re ready. In the mean time, he and Cheri are enjoying their home.

Sandro Stefanucci and his wife Cheri are proud of their back-to-front duplex, which looks like a regular single-family home from the front. Inside, both homes include alder cabinetry and other beautiful features.

Building a home that’s kind to the environment By Maggie Calloway The news is full of stories about how it is almost impossible for a young couple first starting out to afford to live in Vancouver, and using a conventional yardstick, the information is correct for most but there is a way to not only live in a beautiful house but to also contribute to the solution of affordable housing. No, it’s not winning the lottery but by being very smart in finding a way to build the house you want, where you want it, and how you can afford the whole project financially. One young couple found the property they wanted in the location they wanted to live in, but the 1940s house, on inspection, was not salvageable. There was a lot of rot and water damage and the decision was made to tear the house down and start from scratch. In stepped Samuel and Elizabeth FitzZaland of Green City Builders Inc., who are not only a very talented team of renovators but are passionate about introducing as many real green, not greenwashed, products into their builds. A plan was put together to build the main house with a garden suite on the lower level plus a laneway house, all very carefully designed to fit the lot perfectly. The couple was able to afford the house because of the rental income stream generated from both the suite and the laneway house. At the same time, because of providing rental accommodation, they neatly fit into the municipality’s plan of innovative housing. By building three homes on one lot they took the pressure off development elsewhere. “The clients, once the decision was

taken to tear down the existing house, decided to redevelop the property. They wanted a beautiful, gracious home for themselves and an important point was the rental potential to supplement their income and support the mortgage,” says Elizabeth FitzZaland. “This was also an opportunity to integrate some green building practices throughout the build. This was interesting for us for there were some environmentally friendly elements that were not construction-related as much as planning-related. The property is really tight, only 33 feet wide by 108 feet deep and because a laneway house size depends on the depth and width of the lot, they were right up against both of those measurements but we were able to design to those limitations.” The outcome of this build is a very small, 450-square-foot laneway house over two levels, the onebedroom secondary suite in the lower part of the house, built above-grade as much as possible, which makes it quite bright, and the homeowners’ part of the house, which is on two levels, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. To further make this financially affordable in the short term the homeowners are considering inviting a

Plenty of options for building a greener home “ from page.5 home-share student to share their home until they start a family themselves, and then plan to make this home a family home. Because the residence is close to Langara College, this is a viable option for them. “Out in the market people still want quartz countertops, new cabinets and floors and a gracious master bath with separate showers, which are really luxury items but they found a way to do all this with a very humble starting budget, but with the income streams it all become very affordable,” FitzZaland says. Included in this home are as many “green” builds as their budget allowed. A framing technique was used which uses larger lumber spaced further apart so more insulation is possible plus it reduces thermal bridging so you get a tight interior space. To get fresh air into the house they installed a heat recovery ventilator which recovers 90 per cent of the heat that would normally be lost by pumping

air out as the fresh air comes in. Once the house was wrapped, and before the drywall was installed, they had an energy audit done so they could identify any leaks and sealed them at that stage. In addition they installed a combination instant hot water system which also heats their home through a radiant heating system. From beginning to end this whole project was extremely well-thought-out from utilizing the site for maximum return and investing in an eco-friendly build which will pay dividends going forward. Several green techniques were used in building the house, including larger lumber spaced further apart to allow for more insulation and a heat recovery ventilator that recovers 90 per cent of the heat that would normally be pumped out as fresh air comes in. The home still fits in well with the surrounding neighbourhood. Martin Knowles photos

Finding some oldfashioned flair with stone By Maggie Calloway Building with stone has to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, method of creating shelter. Anyone who has watched documentaries on Knowledge Network has seen proof of stone shelters built as much as six thousand years ago and more. In fact if it wasn’t for stone a lot of our early history would be lost in the mists of time. The same basic fact exists today; stone lasts where other materials such as wood have a limited lifespan. In Europe building with stone is the norm and stonemasons in Continental Europe have traditionally learned from fathers, uncles and pretty well everyone in the village from a very early age. If you married and left home everyone in the village gathered together to build the newly married couple a home and these homes are passed down through many generations.

Wallpaper becoming a popular accessory in home decor By Kerry Vital Everyone has a nightmare story about wallpaper, whether it’s trying to remove it from your home or growing up surrounded by crazy prints in every room. But recently, wallpaper has seen a resurgence, helped along by options that suit every taste, style and budget. Wallpaper has been around since the early 15th century, when it started life as a cheaper alternative to panelling and tapestries that were quite expensive. Over the years, several different trends came and went, from Chinese-style art based on silk wall coverings to flocked French designs to the panoramic scenes that are still seen in museums around Europe. And now, the tide is turning again. “The role of wallpaper within decor has really changed,” says Sandra Bracken, vicepresident of marketing for Bouclair. “It is no longer about wallpapering a room – it is mostly for an accent wall.” Long gone are the days of large multicoloured floral prints and faux brick. Now, Bracken says that wallpaper has become a lot more contemporary. “Customers are loving the patterns that are modern, geometric and add a touch of colour,” she says. “The prints are new and modern. They accent a room, they don’t overpower (it).” Sarah Gallop, principal designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc., says that wallpaper can be a great option for those who are on a budget but are looking for something new and exciting. “People have a bad association with it,” she says. “But it gives such a glamour that paint doesn’t have ... Some of the new wallpapers are gorgeous” and can be easily removed if you decide you want a different look.

Wallpaper is no longer limited to large fusty florals and faux finishes. Now, you can find wallpaper that will accent any room in a variety of styles and budgets. Submitted photos

North Vancouver interior designer Sheryn Calvert of Calvert Design Studio agrees, noting that wallpaper can also be used as a decor item. “Do you have a plain white bookshelf? Add some wallpaper for colour and texture!” she says. “People really care about decorating their home and wallpaper has become the new accessory,” says Bracken. “You can create a room that’s unique, interesting and updates a room instantly.”

Spicing it up in a spice or wok kitchen By Kerry Vital We’ve all had a bad day in the kitchen, where nothing turns out right, things are burning and the scent of the food lingers for hours afterwards. With the recent trend in installing a spice or wok kitchen, those smells can be a thing of the past. Instead, you can lock them away behind a door and entertain in style without your guests ever finding out how much work went into the meal. “It’s usually the spice or wok kitchen where you do all the dirty work,” says Jasmine Jeon of Coast Appliances. “It’s only purpose is to cook food.” Inside, you’ll usually find a gas range and a hood fan, Jeon says. “Sometimes you’ll find a dishwasher, and occasionally ... a fridge. These kitchens aren’t built for the look.” Instead, most homeowners will have a “show” kitchen in the home as well. That is where you will find the high-end appliances, wall ovens and other gourmet accessories. “That kitchen will have the custom hood fan, the hidden fridge and everything else,” Jeon says. “It’s all for show. Quality and design are important.” When installing a spice or wok kitchen (the words are usually used interchangeably by builders and which one is used will depend on the homeowner), it’s important to keep a budget in mind. Because the appliances are meant to be utilitarian and are only seen by the person cooking, the look isn’t as important. “They are usually mid-range appliances” Jeon says. “KitchenAid and Frigidaire are popular. For those who really care, Wolf and Thermador” are often requested. Most wok or spice kitchens are long and narrow, Jeon says, though the size

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Surrey/North Delta Leader B9

can vary depending on the house and how much space the homeowner wants to devote to it. It is vital to have a fan in your wok or spice kitchen, as it will suck up the smells and prevent them from escaping into the rest of the house. Jeon notes that it’s rare to see anything other than a gas range in that kind of space, because most cuisines cooked in a spice or wok kitchen involve high heat. “An induction range is more expensive but similar to gas,” she says. “You won’t see an electric range in there.” There’s plenty to think about when you’re looking at installing a wok or spice kitchen, but its sheer usefulness makes it well worth it in the end. Cooking doesn’t need to be stressful, and having a dedicated space to leave all the dirty work behind is something that many homeowners will find important.

Spice or wok kitchens will often hold just a gas range and a hood fan, whereas you will find the high-end amenities such as wall ovens, top left, and custom hood fans, top, in the “show” kitchen.

Savoring the good life with a bottle of wine When it comes to wine storage, you have many options to suit a range of budgets. From full cellars to a simple wine fridge, life can be delicious with a good bottle of wine. By Kerry Vital Kicking back with a glass of wine at the end of a long week or tasting a new bottle with friends and family at a dinner party is one of life’s pleasures. Maybe you’re happy with having a bottle of white in the fridge and a bottle of red on the counter, but there is a lot more to think about when you’re considering how to store a collection. From where to put it to what kind of storage you want, it’s best to consult a professional when it comes to wine storage. “The paramount thing to think about is the quantity of wine and then build it from there,” says Gary Bombay of Blue Grouse Cellars. “A small collection of 50 bottles or less is more suited to a wine fridge, whereas a serious collector who has the space would look to a cellar.” Wine fridges are also better suited to the homeowner looking to have white wine ready to drink at any point, as it should be consumed at about 6 to 8 degrees Celsius, whereas red wine should be room temperature (about 17 to 18 degrees Celsius). “That’s room temperature in a European stone building,” Bombay says. Typically, wine cellars are located underground or in the basement, but Bombay says he’s recently seen a trend towards homeowners looking to build a wine cellar above ground that can also be used as a showpiece. “They’re looking for a decorative cellar that they’re proud to show off,” he says. “Some are also including a tasting room outside.” Tasting wine inside the cellar itself is not a good plan, Bombay notes. “It’s not a climate suitable for drinking red wine,” he says, adding that most cellars are about 15 degrees Celsius. There are several different options available in wine cellars, from the modern to the traditional. Many people think of rows upon rows of wooden racks when they think of a wine cellar, but Bombay says that there has been some interest in installing modern cellars with metal and glass. “Many companies are labelling wine with showy labels,” he says. “Our VintageView racking holds bottles horizontally, making them easy to find.” The most typical wood that Bombay uses in his cellars is California redwood. “It performs well in a humid environment, which wine cellars are,” he says. “You also want a low-odour wood, as you don’t want to introduce a strong wood such as a cedar which imparts itself on the wine.” What to include in a wine cellar is a matter of taste, but shelving and climate control is of particular importance. “You can build a reasonable cellar for $5,000 to $10,000, but it’s easy to spend many times that when you get into the exotic woods, decoration, staining,” Bombay says. If you’re thinking about purchasing a wine fridge, Bombay recommends looking for one with a dual-zone control so you can keep your white wine cool and your red wine warmer, and shelves that slide out to easily access your wine. He also notes that people can find wine storage that looks like a piece of furniture, from a cabinet to a credenza. “You need to weigh whether it’s just for storage or you want a showpiece,” he says. While there’s much to think about when you’re deciding on how you want to store your wine, it’s worth it in the end when you can pull out the perfect bottle to go with any meal or to use as a gift. “It’s really fun to pull something out of the cellar that is no longer available,” Bombay says. “A bottle of wine that can’t be found anymore is a really

Gary Bombay says he’s seen a recent trend towards more modern wine cellars that are built with glass and metal, above, instead of the traditional wood.

For those who don’t have such large collections of wine, a dual-zone wine fridge, above, could be just the ticket. For more serious collectors, a full cellar might be better suited, below left. Including wine storage in your kitchen, below right, can be easily integrated with your existing cabinetry to include a serving bar where you can also keep your glasses and other wine-related accessories.

Lots of great design ideas available “ from page.1 enough to handle the weight of your wish list so factor in the cost of what may be considerable structural work before you can begin putting together your new dream bathroom. John Friswell of CCI Renovations is an award-winning contractor who has many years of renovations under his belt and there is very little he hasn’t had to deal with when it comes to renovations. He cites a recent renovation as a great example of what homeowners need to know. “My clients have lived in this home for a number of years so they knew exactly what they wanted, in fact the instructions to my company and the designer were to create a spa bathroom you would find in a high-end elegant hotel, and that is exactly what we did,” Friswell says. “It helped that we used the original bathroom footprint, 13’ x 13’; about 160 square feet, and in this case we didn’t need to do any structural work, which is not always the case. We had to be creative with the linear drain in the shower but everything else was fine.” The original bathroom, although badly dated, had good ‘bones’ which is a great help when renovating. The size was right for the new design which again is a bonus; removing walls to increase the size puts the renovation into a whole new category. The bathroom isn’t huge, but instead just the right size to make the placement of each unit work. The rim-less steam shower is large but not enormous and tucked in the corner so there is some privacy, and the two vanities, his and hers, are placed so that each person literally has their own space including storage. The female spot, the larger of the two, has a mirror that slides up to reveal storage, plugs for hair dryers, etc. This allows the positioning of the lighting to make sense, and not having to install electrical outlets in the wall of marble is a brilliant touch. “The drawers and cupboards all have precisely designed organizers. The walls are marble as are the floors. The wall towel rack is heated which is a treat and the towel bars underneath the vanities avoids towels on the counter,” Friswell says. “We built in the tall linen tower for towels, etc. rather than storage under the vanities which is a more elegant approach as Family Owned & Operated well as practical. We installed a window in the Since 1950 shower to provide light which we used to see years ago. Unlike then where there were always problems with rot and mildew, we didn’t use wood but marble so there will be no ongoing problems. The window was also important to Seed Blends for the Lower Mainland * Proven help bounce light around the room.” * Homeowners * Contractors * Landscapers There are lots of great design ideas in this bathroom and the desire of the clients for an * Sand-based Turf * Drought Tolerant elegant bathroom has certainly been achieved.

The old bathroom featured dated lighting, an old soaker tub and an old-fashioned vanity, left and below left. Now, the bathroom includes his-and-hers vanities and a gorgeous new tub made for relaxation, above and below. John Friswell of CCI Renovations says the homeowners were looking for a spa-like feel in their new space.
