‘Please don’t hit my daddy...’ Transit workers gather outside court as bail hearing for man charged in bus driver attack is postponed by Sheila Reynolds

A GROUP of bus drivers was at Surrey Provincial Court Friday morning for the bail hearing – which was delayed until April 22 – of Sean Tyler Quaye, a 25-year-old Surrey man charged in a vicious, unprovoked attack on a Coast Mountain Bus driver last month. One-and-a-half-year-old Abbigail Hartman and her step-dad Brandon McInroy, who’s a bus driver, were among the group, with Abbigail wearing a T-shirt that read: “Please don’t hit my daddy...” McInroy said he and his girlfriend brought the toddler to show that many transit workers have families and just want to be safe on the job. He was among 40 or so drivers who showed up to

court Friday to support their fellow injured transit worker. Police say at approximately 8 p.m. on March 26, the 341 bus to Guildford picked up a man and woman on 72 Avenue at 132 Street. Within minutes, the man punched the operator in the face before jumping off the bus. The bus was travelling at approximately 30 km/h and pulling into the left-turn lane at 144 Street at the time of the assault. Despite having received a severe blow to the face which caused broken nose and facial bones, profuse bleeding and impaired vision, the driver managed to bring the bus to a stop and open the doors, allowing the attacker to leave.

and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux will be modelling a Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) student’s designs for women in wheelchairs at the university’s annual graduate fashion show, held at the River Rock Casino Resort on April 24. For Kaylyn MacKenzie’s final project as a fourth-year KPU fashion design student, she set out to challenge the idea that adaptive apparel has to be out of style. Her designs – which will be modelled in three back-to-back shows by Cadieux and her friends Kirsten Sharp, peer program coordinator for Spinal Cord Injury BC, and Teri Thorson, Rick Hansen Foundation ambassador – are based on the principle that disability has no limitations.

“With so few options for clothing that are up-to-date for those with disability, I decided to make my niche market female wheelchair users. Vancouver is very accommodating to those who live with occupational barriers in life, yet the only clothing lines available to those with disability are aimed at a mature market,” says MacKenzie, who believes that the ability to extend one’s personality through fashion should be available to everyone, in every situation. Along with her peers in KPU’s fashion, design and technology program, MacKenzie was required to extensively research market demands, needs and niches in order to create her final collection. To develop YOU, MacKenzie met with Cadieux, who is the Liberal MLA for SurreyCloverdale. “Kaylyn really understands the unique challenges in finding clothes that work well and are comfortable when seated and wheeling,” says Cadieux. MacKenzie’s inspira-

Sharp adds: “We’ve all heard the term ‘form and function’; Kaylyn brings this to a whole new level for the seated individual, while staying up to date with current fashion.” “People need to realize that, for example, a wheelchair is only an extension of who that person is; it doesn’t make them who they are.

Those without a disability need to look beyond what we like to think is a barrier. People with disabilities live every day the same as you and I,” says MacKenzie. The Show will showcase 37 emerging designers, each with a unique fashion line. The runway outfits range in style and audience, with fashions for men, women, children and tweens; athletics, travellers and professionals. The Show will feature lingerie, lounge-wear, beach-wear, and outerwear for the street and for motorcyclists, as well

as fashionable clothing designed specifically for people in wheelchairs, the eco-conscious and those preparing for the zombie apocalypse. The students – who are organizing the event in collaboration with other students, KPU faculty and staff, and industry experts – will display their garments in three back-to-back shows on April 24 at the River Rock Casino and Show Theatre in Richmond.

Drivers: Assault happens every three days

Dr. Seuss on stage The Who’s rehearse a scene from Seussical Jr. at Betty Huff Elementary on Wednesday. The show runs from April 14-17 at the school, 13055 Huntley Ave.

From page 1 Quaye, a tall, muscular man with shortly shorn hair, was arrested by Transit Police officers on April 2 in the Newton area of Surrey, while driving an allegedly stolen vehicle. He has been charged with driving while prohibited and assault causing bodily harm. Nathan Woods, president of Unifor local 111, the union representing transit workers, said Friday he was “absolutely pleased” Quaye would remain in custody for the time being. “We’re happy that he’s not going to be standing at a bus stop near here,” said Woods. Driver Mike McMillan said it was important not to focus only on the accused, Shannon Stewart but others who put transit workers at risk. “We have a lot of people doing the same thing out there,” he said. Bus driver and Unifor officer Ruth Armstrong said there’s a criminal assault – be it physical or a verbal threat – on drivers every three days. She said while the most recent Surrey incident injured the driver only, it could have easily been a passenger who was hurt. “The public should be concerned,” Armstrong said. Coast Mountain has for years considered installing clear plastic shields, but has held back because about half of drivers don’t want to use them due to heat, glare and space concerns. “We don’t need to be behind bars, they (attackers) do,” said driver Shannon Stewart.

“We don’t need to be behind bars, they (the attackers) do.”

Metro, TransLink wrangle over gas tax transfers Transit authority wants fuel pump fees to help pay for Compass card overrun by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK WANTS to use federal gas tax money to

help fund its over-budget Compass card fare payment system but the idea is getting a cool reception from Metro Vancouver politicians. The proposal needs the consent of the regional district – which controls federal gas tax disbursements – but Metro’s transportation committee wants more details before approving it. TransLink is seeking an extra $5.5 million in gas tax to go to the Compass card project, which has climbed in cost to more than $194 million, $23 million over budget. About $125 million a year in gas tax collected by the federal government is returned to the region to help

fund transit expansion and other capital projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Usually it buys new buses and community shuttles. Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs said he doesn’t see how the Compass card going over budget qualifies. “That’s the one that really stuck in my craw,” he said of TransLink’s requests for the 2014 transfer. The extra Compass card money is to cover installing specialized smart card readers on buses, but TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said it’s simply part of the project that hadn’t yet received gas tax funding and not an overrun. Another item proposed for gas tax funding that was challenged by the committee is TransLink’s request for $14.1 million to help buy out its leases on 28 West Coast Express train cars.

Death: Leaves mom ‘forever incosolable’ From Page 1

Hannele Sairanen

Both Crown and defence had recommended six-year sentences for the pair. In delivering his sentence Thursday in Surrey Provincial Court, Judge Michael Hicks called the killing a “senseless crime,” saying Sanders died under “the most fearful of circumstances.” He said no sentence he imposed could replace the loss Sanders’ family feels or fill the void his death left. During a sentencing hearing late last month, the court heard how Sanders was lured to Nandan’s home in Cloverdale and ambushed in the basement by Shakib, who stabbed him with a machete. A witness said he heard Sanders say “Please bro, I’m gonna bleed out.” The Crown presented cellphone records

showing the two accused had planned the confrontation in the days prior to Sanders’ death in what appeared to be a drug-related dispute. All were involved in the drug trade. After the stabbing, the court heard, neither Shakib or Nandan tried to help Sanders, and after his death, they removed the bloodied flooring in the house and repaired any damage to destroy any evidence of the killing. Sanders’ charred remains were found in a Burnaby park in December 2011 by a passerby. In a victim impact statement, Sanders’ mother spoke of her “precious” only child and how his death had left her “forever inconsolable.” Nandan faced Sanders’ friends and family in court last month and apologized. Shakib submitted a letter to the judge. Hicks said he believed both were remorseful and showed

good prospects for rehabilitation. Outside court, family and friends of Sanders expressed their dissatisfaction with the sentences. “We didn’t get what we wanted, by any stretch,” said Annie Storey, whose son was best buddies with Sanders. “But now it’s time to heal.” With one-to-one credit for time served, Nandan, who was free on bail until now, has about five-and-a-half years of his sentence remaining, while Shakib, who has been in custody, has about five years, three months remaining. A third man, who cannot be named because he was a young offender at the time of Sanders’ death, also pleaded guilty to obstructing justice in the case. His sentencing is scheduled for April 15. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

a wonderful job of running West Coast Express because of the reduction in expenditures.” Jarvis said TransLink will buy out the WCE leases regardless of whether or not the gas tax transfer falls through. But he said that scenario would squeeze TransLink’s already tight finances. “If we don’t get the senior government money from the gas tax we have to make it up from somewhere else.” The old agreement governing gas tax transfers is being renewed and the Metro board has discussed seeking authority to have the money go to other regional infrastructure projects, instead of to TransLink. Metro may seek to have unspent money available under the expiring program transferred to the new one if the regional board doesn’t okay TransLink’s requests in time. Meggs said the gas tax discord reflects Metro mayors’ dissatisfaction with their lack of direct control over TransLink’s budget. Reforms introduced by the province will give the mayors’ council power over a 10-year investment plan, but not annual spending.

SENIORS

RAESIDE

Safety net not assured

he old saying “charity begins at home” comes to mind with news last week that 31 seniors organizations in the Lower Mainland, currently funded by the United Way, are not having that funding renewed once current contracts expire. The United Way is quick to point out it’s customary for some of its grants not to be renewed, as part of ongoing reviews of resources and needs assessments, and that it’s actually doing more for seniors now, with the increasing “greying” of our society, than ever before – even more than it does for children and families. The last United Way campaign raised some $27 million, down around $1 million from the year before – part of a steady annual decline since a high-water mark of more than $30 million in 2009. The current contracts, set to expire this year or next, represent $1.6 million for the organizations. While each of the contracts likely represents valuable services for our growing seniors population, the fact is that, in the current economy, it’s getting harder for organizations like the United Way to raise charitable donations, as ordinary people examine their own shrinking resources in the face of higher gas prices, food costs and utility fees. The kinds of organizations left out in the cold by the shortfall of charitable dollars provide temporary shelter for homeless seniors and reach out to isolated seniors to help keep them active and independent. Services affected include help for unattached seniors who struggle to get by on single-pension incomes, and those with chronic illnesses, disabilities and mobility challenges. None of these people are those to whom glib “get a job” arguments can be applied. At some point we have to recognize there are those less fortunate than others, and that human compassion is not a function of black-and-white profit-and-loss statements. It’s on the shoulders of all of us, whether we’re private or corporate citizens, to give back to our elders – as we would hope to receive some help as we encounter frailties beyond our control. Given the prevailing economic climate, and the frequent reminders we receive that the public purse is as limited as our own, nobody’s holding their breath waiting for governments – whether local, provincial or federal – to step in and provide some kind of safety net for these seniors and their service providers.

etailed debate on changes to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) got underway in the legislature last week, while protesters played to urban voters outside. A couple of West Kootenay NDP supporters brought a basket of homegrown veggies down to help East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett get through the winter on a 100-mile diet. A group of mostly UBC scientists wrote to Premier Christy Clark, embracing the popular assumption that the changes will automatically mean more exclusions of agricultural land, as well as expanded secondary uses in the Cariboo, Kootenay and North zones. This “jeopardizes species at risk, threatens many common species, and will impact many species prized for hunting,” they wrote. It makes me wonder if these university botanists and bird experts actually understand what farming is. You know, clear-cutting a forest and planting largely monoculture crops?

One of Bennett’s key issues is denial of secondary residence construction to keep families on the land in the Interior. The legislation also introduces social and economic factors in weighing decisions in the North, Cariboo and Kootenay regions, where in most cases development pressure is an urban myth. The main ALC board will still have authority to revisit a local panel decision if the chair deems it inconsistent with the mandate to protect farmland.

Demand Time to challenge tight-fisted Mountie change on Conservative fiscal policies interrupted behalf of victims of crime A CONTINGENT OF ECONOMISTS from over 31

I JUST READ the story about a man

charged in a Surrey bus driver attack. My son is a transit driver. He is out there making a living for his family and it is a shame that we all have to be so concerned for his safety doing his job. Criminals such as the alleged bus attacker are of no use to our society. They contribute nothing and cost taxpayers money and heartache. It is time to start protecting the victims. When is the system going to wake up? I say it is time for the public to start making our voices heard. We make noise when they cut down a tree but not when someone in our family is hurt, or worse, killed. It is time for change. L. Smith Surrey

universities has published a statement strongly urging the federal government to stop implementing fiscal austerity measures just to achieve its political goal of budgetary balance by 2015. The statement points out that today’s policies are similar to those of the 1930s when the economy was stagnant and unemployment high but that federal deficits were not problematic during the war period following when unemployment dramatically declined and the economy rebounded.

British politician Tony Benn once stated it very well: “If you can have full employment by killing Germans, why can’t we have it by building hospitals, schools, recruiting nurses and teachers? If you can find money to kill people, you can find money to help people.” It’s time for more Canadians to challenge tight-fisted Conservative fiscal policies which are leading us into economic quagmire.

FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

A letter writer disputes the police assertion that bait cars are as responsible for much of the drop in vehicle thefts in recent years.

Surrey-North Delta Leader states that car theft has fallen 78 per cent and “...that police are crediting the bait car program for much of that drop.” Sorry, I simply cannot buy that assertion. Car theft has declined for a number of reasons. The bait car program may take some credit, other crime prevention programs some and the justice system none. However, the primary reason is newer anti-theft technology in cars. Just check out the list of stolen cars and the model year. Older Hondas and other older cars make up the majority. So let us be honest. A provincial politician, say the Attorney General, cannot take credit for that or work it into a photo op. I am glad car theft has declined. But please, let’s give credit proportionally where it is due. Ross Fisher Surrey

Another problem with city hall: Parking I HAVE CRITICIZED the new Surrey City Hall project for some time. Now

there are other voices too. My criticism was based on two points: Wrong timing, wrong place. It wasn’t necessary at this time. The project and the spending was advanced. Second, it is built at the wrong place. It has got all the earmarks of being in a congested area. It will get much worse in time. As well it is built in a high-rent district. Now I can add the third strike. Parking. If you want to go see your elected representative or have some other business, you will have to pay. No longer there will be free parking for visitors. I believe it should be put back. Maybe they are scrambling to pay for this $100-million, or is it $150-million project. Scrambling they are. Soon they will start extracting cash even from the staff – including the

life guards – at the nearby North Surrey Recreation Centre for parking. They are apparently the chosen ones, because parking for staff at Fleetwood, Newton and South Surrey facilities remains free. The mayor and council have done a good job for Surrey for several years. But, somewhere along the way, the train went off the rails. Maybe visions of grandeur set in. This happens invariably to successful governments when in power for a long time. Newton was allowed to deteriorate to the point that an innocent soul was lost. The city needs to become prudent again. The city has seen persistent growth over many years. The city does not need to mess with the private sector by spending taxpayer money. Leave the development to them. Dave Bains

Pavement taking a beating from heavy trucks THANK YOU mayor and council for the prompt

repair to the boulevard along the 6500-block of 144 Street, and for putting a concrete barrier in place that will hopefully keep the trucks turning into and out of Cedarline Products off the grass and sidewalk, at least at the south entrance. Another set of truck tracks recently showed up at the north entrance. There is no protective barrier in that location.

The problem is primarily caused by the fact that the trailers have been getting longer, with three axles, and at the same time Cedarline has narrowed its entrance driveways as they store stacks of lumber right at the entrances, restricting the trucks from starting their turn onto 144 Street until they are halfway across the street. Heavy trucks are also breaking up the pavement in the street in front of the entrances,

resulting in permanent potholes in the road. It is dangerous for cars to zig-zag around the potholes. Probably the pavement in this area needs to be beefed up a bit to support the heavy trucks turning into and out of the Cedarline yard.

directors voted 20-6 Friday to recognize Trinity Western University’s planned faith-based law school. Opponents argued the Langley university’s community covenant prohibiting “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman” discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation against gay and lesbian law students and faculty. “In my opinion, Trinity Western University’s community covenant is an anachronism and a throwback that wouldn’t be out of place in the 1960s,” said lawyer Cameron Ward, one of the society’s directors who voted for a motion to deny accreditation to TWU. The law school already has approval from the provincial government to open but the law society controls who can practise as a lawyer in B.C. Several law society directors, known as benchers, said they could not justify rejecting TWU’s grads, citing a 2001 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in favour of Trinity on religious freedom. Miriam Kresivo, one of the society’s benchers, said she doesn’t believe

the society can bar TWU “even though the covenant may be abhorrent to me.” Others said the law society cannot presume in advance that TWU grads would act contrary to the standards of the legal profession. “The Law Society of B.C is not a belief regulator, we are a conduct regulator,” Kamloops lawyer Ken Walker said. “We must not trample on the rights of one group of society to satisfy the rights of another,” added bencher Claude Richmond, who also voted against the motion to deny TWU accreditation. Some benchers who voted with the majority noted the law society could review and revoke TWU accreditation in future if it had grounds to do so. Victoria lawyer Pinder Cheema was one of the benchers who urged TWU to revise its covenant, predicting its “offensive reputation” will otherwise follow the law school’s grads into practice. TWU president Bob Kuhn said the decision clears the way for the new law school, which is on track to open in the fall of 2016. “This is also an important decision for all Canadians,” Kuhn said.

Province replaces Fraser Health Authority board chair ‘New leadership’ needed after review of operations, minister says THE PROVINCIAL gov-

ernment has suddenly replaced Fraser Health board chair David Mitchell as it continues a probe into budget overruns at B.C.’s biggest health authority. Wynne Powell, the longtime chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority, will take over on an interim basis. The move comes more than five months into a strategic and operational review ordered into Fraser by the province as a result of its recurring failure to stay within its budget allocations. “We felt it was important to have new leadership on the board – fresh eyes to implement any of the recommendations that come out of this review,” Health Minister Terry

are investigating what appears to be a suspicious fire at a North Delta elementary school. Just after 2 a.m. Monday, crews responded to a blaze at Heath Traditional Elementary School at 113 Street and 72 Avenue. The fire was doused quickly, but not before one classroom was completely gutted. There’s also a lot of smoke and water damage to the rest of the school. Investigators are classifying the fire as suspicious, but are not sure whether the blaze was started inside our outside the building. No one was hurt in the fire. The school will be closed until further notice. ~with files from CTV News

Lake said Wednesday of the decision to install Powell. “We’re relying on his abilities to bring about changed management, which will be necessary with Fraser Health going through this review process.” Fraser has been receiving six-per-centa-year budget increases in recent years – more than 4.8 per cent at other B.C. health regions – and Lake previously said that’s too far out of line with the region’s population increases of 1.3 per cent annually. The large number of older residents in the region are expected to intensify pressure on Fraser’s budget in the years ahead, and Lake said there are other challenges, including a diverse, rapidly growing population that’s split

significant needs and just a budget-cutting exercise is not going to improve health care.” The last incident of unexpected turnover of a Fraser board chair happened in 2007, when then-chair Keith Purchase quit and Vancouver Coastal’s chair was fired by the province. They had warned Victoria that inadequate budgets for the Lower Mainland health regions would lead to a care crisis. Mitchell served for three and a half years as chair of Fraser’s board. In an upbeat statement issued by Fraser, Mitchell said health authority staff are passionate, determined and optimistic “despite operating in challenging circumstances.” He credited their willingness to “con-

Metro rejects shifting 911 tax to phones Homes with multiple lines would have paid more than the $4 they do now by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER

That would have been eliminated from the property tax bill but every phone line – mobile or landline – would be charged 20 to 50 cents a month, plus administration fees by telecom firms. “It would cost our residents a lot more money to do that,” said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore Friday as the Metro board defeated the proposal. He noted his family has six different cellphones and landlines and a 50 cent per month fee – $6 a year per line – would mean they’d pay $36 per year instead of $4 now. A business with a large

Metro’s current 911 property tax levy is equivalent to 20 cents per phone line, but a consistent per line levy across the province would have to be higher because 911

services in other regions are not as efficient as E-Comm, which has large economies of scale from serving the Lower Mainland. Regional administrators said they can’t currently justify raising more money for E-Comm, if more money raised from the Lower Mainland were to be plowed back into the 911 service. Another concern is an estimated seven cent per month administration fee could redirect an

extra $1 million per year from Metro households to phone companies. Some directors, including Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, said they support the principle of shifting 911 costs from the property tax bill to actual phone users, and said UBCM should study the idea. Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said a few extra dollars per year shouldn’t make much difference to people who often pay $50 and up per month for a cellphone. “It’s a very modest fee,” Dhaliwal said. “I believe the concept is right, the principles are right.” Accidental 911 calls, usually dialed unintentionally from a pocket or bag, consume large amounts of staff time at E-Comm. Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin said a phone line levy would at least tie the 911 costs more directly to phone users. It’s the third time Metro has rejected the idea of a universal call answer levy across B.C.

The ‘Art is a Mirror’ exhibition was been put together by artist Jeremie Giles and is intended for those who are not connoisseurs of Canadian art. Students from David Brankin have been examining the paintings and talking about some of the 72 canvases with students from other district schools and members of the public who came to see the show. “The purpose of the exhibition is to spur the viewer to learn more about life and work of the creative individuals whose artworks have reflected who we are as a people. Thus, the title ‘Art is a Mirror’,” says Carol Sirianni, a school district fine arts helping teacher.

Judy and Alan Daser of Eversafe Ranch thrift shop in Cloverdale are collecting donations of household items and furniture for families leaving transition houses in Surrey.

Needing help – to help others AN ORGANIZATION that helps some of Surrey’s most vul-

nerable people start new lives is now reaching out for help. With spring cleaning season in full swing, Eversafe Ranch has launched an urgent appeal for donations of gently-used items that will help women and children leaving shelters furnish their new homes. “We need furniture, small appliances, tea kettles, coffee makers, microwaves – things that are in good working condition,” said Judy Daser, who founded Eversafe Ranch with her husband, Alan, in 2008. The charity provides free furniture and household items to families making the transition from shelters and secondary housing – mostly women fleeing abuse, and their children. Referrals come from Atira Women’s Resource Society, the Surrey Association for Community Living, Metis Family Services, Work BC, local churches and word of mouth. “We’re not even touching the need,” Judy said, adding they get calls from as far away as New Westminster and Vancouver. “We don’t go that far. There’s nobody else doing this.” Their mission has grown from hosting informal barbecues in a neighbourhood alleyway in north Surrey where they gave away clothing and household items into a registered charity that operates a thriving Cloverdale thrift shop at 5641 176A Street to support initiatives. Items are priced to remain within reach to people on fixed incomes, such as seniors and the working poor. It’s a hive of activity that attracts regulars of every description. “You get to talk, and you hear their life stories,” Judy said Volunteers are also needed: Call 604-341-1503 for more information.

Design for a nursery or child’s room has come a long way since blue for boys and pink for girls.

Decor for the younger set By Kerry Vital If you’re interior designinclined, one of the fun parts of raising a child can be decorating their room, whether it’s designing their nursery or re-decorating a room to suit an older kid who has outgrown their babyish tastes. However, if trendy home decor isn’t high on your priority list, it can be hard to know where to start. “You want timeless pieces that can grow with the child,”

The homeowner had a specific style in mind when renovating his home, and Best Builders, in collaboration with Sarah Gallop Design Inc., was able to give him that with retro touches such as contrasting white and dark flat crown cabinetry.

Reviving the 70s with the help of Best Builders Best Builders worked with Sarah Gallop Design Inc. to create a modernized home while still keeping the 70s style the owner wanted. By Kerry Vital Old is new again with Best Builders’ 70s-style project that has more than a touch of retro flair. In partnership with Sarah Gallop Design Inc., Best Builders was able to give the homeowners exactly what they were looking for while sticking to budget and bringing everything in on time. “The homeowner had a specific style in mind,” says Best

Builders owner Todd Best. “It really turned out amazing.” Best notes that the original home was very closed off, with individual rooms instead of open space. He and his team opened up the entire main floor to make it more useable for the entire family. “Now, there’s nowhere in the house that you can’t hear ‘time for dinner!’” Best says. “It’s a complete transformation.” The outdoor space is one of the most spectacular things about the new home, and Best is very proud of it. “The outdoor turf soccer field is built to the same specifications as the (Vancouver) Whitecaps field,” he says. That field can also be turned into a volleyball court by folding away the nets. There is also an outdoor fire pit and new tiered sun deck, among other features. “You never have to leave the house,” says Best, adding that

the homeowner’s children come home with their friends every day and spend hours playing outside. Of course, that’s only when their parents aren’t using it themselves. There is now 2,100 square feet of outdoor living space for the family to enjoy. “We were constantly working with the homeowners,” says Best. “Our guys would be talking to them and giving them new ideas all the time.” Other outdoor additions included new fencing, a new gate and a trellis. The homeowners wanted to keep the 1970s look of the exterior, so Best and his team removed the old cladding, planed it and re-installed it. The aim was to respect the existing

Newly renovated home includes professional-quality soccer pitch in yard “ from page. 1 architecture while making it more functional and modern for the family. “Outside, there’s nothing spectacular about it,” Best says. “They wanted it to look like the other homes on the street, but inside it’s refined.” They kept the old fireplace and used matching bricks to patch where the new beams tie in, and kept many of the interior features such as the cedar panelling. “All of the furniture was custom-built in California,” says Best. New millwork was

added, including shoe storage in an entry pony wall for extra convenience and flat crown cabinetry that utilizes contrasting white and dark finishes. The master bedroom was moved downstairs and a spa-like ensuite was added, and the kitchen was moved from the centre of the home to the rear wall to create a great room-kitchen combination. A live edge wood bar top is included on the kitchen island for an extra touch of vintage style. The redesigned family room is now the favoured place for the whole family to spend time together, whether it’s doing homework or watching a movie by the fire. “Family comes first to the homeowner,” says Best. “It’s been a very well-received project.” The home has been named a finalist in three categories at the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards, for Best Kitchen and Greatroom Renovation, Best Renovation: $300,000 to $499,999 and Best Outdoor Living Space: New or Renovated. The winners will be named on April 26. “We have a very strong team,” says Best. “We guarantee quality and take great pride in our finishing.”

The soccer pitch was built to the same specifications as the Vancouver Whitecaps field, above, while the exterior, far left, was rebuilt to fit in with the surrounding neighbourhood. Cedar panelling, left, was retained as another 70s-style feature. Ema Peter photos

Garage doors don’t need yearly upgrades. In fact, most garage doors last upwards of 20 years, so when the time comes to get a new one, you might be surprised by the amount of choices available. Today’s garage doors are better insulated; more secure and require less maintenance. They also come in a variety of materials, each with its own benefits and shortcomings. Here’s a look at the different options. Steel: Easily the most popular choice for garage doors, most are made of steel backed by rigid foam insulation. Steel doors are low maintenance, durable and reasonably priced. They come in a variety of styles and can be painted or made to mimic wood. Ensure you select a steel door with a high-quality polyurethane insulation to maximize strength, R-Value and security. Wood: The original material of garage doors, wood still appeals to homeowners seeking traditional styles and materials. Wood garage doors are low insulators and regularly need fresh coats of paint. Aluminum: Aluminum is similar to steel in design, with faux wood texturing or long lasting laminates available. It is typically more expensive than steel but the material is thin and can dent easily. Choosing the right garage door can add curb appeal to your home and help you save on home energy costs.

Homeowners get peace of mind when hiring a RenoMark professional By Kerry Vital Renovations make up a huge part of the residential construction industry, and billions are spent every year by Canadian homeowners looking to improve upon their homes. But how can you make sure that you’re hiring a reputable person to renovate your home? The RenoMark program, developed by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, gives homeowners the ability to find a reliable, professional renovator easily. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industry-leading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “As well, all RenoMark holders have committed themselves to a code of business ethics and offer warranties on the work they do, offering peace of mind to home-owners that RenoMark professionals stand behind the work they do.” A RenoMark renovator must abide by several rules, including being a member in good standing of the GVHBA, provide a detailed written contract for all jobs they undertake, carry a minimum of $2 million liability insurance and maintain a safe and organized work site, among others. While it may be tempting to hire someone under the table, this can have huge repercussions if something goes wrong with the renovation, whether that’s someone getting hurt or a job not being completed on time. Hiring a renovator with the RenoMark designation means that you

don’t have to worry about some of the typical stresses that come with renovating your home. You can also be assured that your renovator is up-to-date with all the latest trends, materials and regulations, which protects both you and the renovator. An added bonus of having a professional renovator with the RenoMark certification is that it can increase your resale value down the road. Having a professionally done job means that the work will stand the test of time and will look great. Research done by RE/MAX shows that the top projects undertaken by homeowners every year include kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, replacing windows or doors, replacing or upgrading the roof and adding a fireplace. Even if you don’t plan to sell your home, having the peace of mind to be able to enjoy your new renovation without having to worry about corners being cut and regulations being ignored is well worth it. The RenoMark Renovator’s Guide lays out a list of steps that homeowners need to take before beginning a renovation. The first is to carefully plan your project, including researching what Bob de Wit is required for it, from permits to the trades involved. You also need to consider whether you need to move out of your home during the process, and how long the renovation will take from beginning to end. The second step is to hire your renovator, and ask about his or her experience with projects that are similar to the one you want. The third step the guide recommends is to get a written contract with the renovator in order to protect both yourself and the renovator. It should lay out the cost, materials, time, scope of the work and any instructions you have for the people working on the house. For example, if you require everything to be cleaned up by the end of each day, or want a specific room to be protected during construction, make sure it is in writing. The fourth step is to check on the progress during your renovation. It is very important to keep in regular contact with the people working on your house. This leads into the fifth recommendation, discuss your project. If you notice something that you want changed or you have any questions, don’t hesitate to talk to your renovator and make sure you’re both on the same page. Make sure any changes that you make during your discussions are put in writing. For more information about the program and to find a RenoMark contractor, visit www.renomark.ca/greatervancouverarea.
