Civic impasse strikes cancer fundraiser Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Mary Copping relay organizer

A return to the bargaining table Thursday by the City of White Rock and its unionized workers did not move the two sides any closer to resolution. And now, impact of the ongoing job action is spreading beyond city services. It has prompted organizers of the upcoming White Rock/South Surrey Relay for Life – the Canadian Cancer Society’s signature event – to make

quick changes to the scope and location of a pre-event fundraiser. “We had a panicked meeting… because it does impact us,” event cochair Mary Copping told Peace Arch News last week. “We’re going to need more help from people getting it going.” The Relay for Life is an annual 12-hour overnight event of the Canadian Cancer Society at White Rock’s Centennial Park. This year, it’s set for June 13. Copping said she and fellow orga-

nizers held an emergency meeting last week after unionized city workers ramped up job action that resulted in the closure of city facilities, including Centennial Arena – the same site they had booked for a garage sale for relay participants on May 24. Rather than risk having to cancel the sale altogether, the group decided to shift its location to outside the society’s 15240 Thrift Ave. office. Union president Mike Guraliuk told

PAN Friday that impacting such events is not part of the CUPE local’s strategy or intent. The dispute is with the city, not the cancer society, he said. “We did not know,” Guraliuk said of the arena sale. “We would’ve said, ‘picket lines down for the day.’” The venue change means a muchreduced sale, Copping said, citing a drop to about 12 tables from the 40 that had been planned for the arena. i see page 4

Raid in Ocean Park

Teens escape armed invasion

Police are looking for two or three attackers after an armed home invasion in Ocean Park Wednesday. Surrey RCMP and officers with the Emergency Response Team raced to the 2400-block of 124 Street just after 5 p.m., following a report of armed and masked invaders. Police do not believe the attack was random. “Rarely do we see innocent, lawabiding citizens having their home targeted,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “There’s some elements relating to the residents of that location that made us believe that this was targeted directly to the occupants and not a random incident for sure.” According to police, the assailants entered through a basement door at the rear of the house. The occupants – an 18-year-old man and his 16-year-old girlfriend – escaped out the front door unharmed. Description of the suspects is minimal: male, medium height and build, wearing hoods and masks and carrying guns. By the time police arrived, they were gone. – Tracy Holmes

Boarders share pavement with scooter riders Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The upper parking lot of Semiahmoo Shopping Centre doubled as a stage for some of the world’s top skateboarders last week, at an event aimed to bridge the gap between youth and seniors. In addition to demonstrations by skateboarders from Brazil, China and more – and one that saw White Rock skateboarder Andy Anderson ollie over a police car – Wednesday’s five-hour event featured road-safety tips for people who use skateboards or motorized scooters, and a strawberry tea. Scooters & Skaters was organized by South Surrey RCMP for Police Week. i see page 2

Boarders reveal sport’s impact i from page 1 Vancouver’s Kevin Harris – Canada’s first pro skateboarder – MCed the skateboarding demonstration, taking attendees through the evolution of the popular sport, before showing off a couple of his own moves. At 51, Harris hasn’t lost his edge and is still rated one of the world’s top freestylers. Anderson told Peace Arch News his parents bought him his first board when he was just four years old, expecting his interest to fade in short order. Fourteen years later, he’s still riding, sponsored by Protest Skateboards and Authentic Board Supply (owned by Tour de Surrey series creator Hippie Mike). On the Victoria Day long weekend, Anderson was to compete

White Rock

in his third World Freestyle Skateboarding Roundup. South Surrey RCMP Const. Troy Derrick credits skateboarding for leading him to a career in policing. Harris, he said, introduced him “to the idea it was OK to skate… It didn’t matter what I wanted to be when I grew up, so much as I knew what I didn’t want to be.” Special Const. Susan Caley said the idea to bring youth, seniors and police together in the name of road safety was well-received. Youth watched seniors on their scooters, and seniors stayed to watch youth on their skateboards. “It was a fun event and everyone walked away feeling good and with some good ideas,” Caley told PAN.

Beer, wine garden proposed for White Rock landmark’s ticketed 100th anniversary party

Revellers want to toast pier’s centennial Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A proposal to mark White Rock pier’s 100th anniversary with a party on the landmark itself has been referred back to city staff for more information. Semiahmoo Arts has asked the city to support its use of the pier for a ticketed evening event on Aug. 28, as well as its request for a liquor licence that would enable a beer and wine garden to be part of the celebrations. Coun. Al Campbell told Peace Arch News last week that while he is in favour of such ideas, allowing this one means the city must break its own rules. And for that, he said, everyone must be onside. “Alcohol and food and beverage – we don’t

even allow that during the summer months,” Campbell said. “It’s difficult here because I really would like this to happen, but we have to make sure that everybody’s on the same page.” According to a report by director of leisure services Eric Stepura, staff support the plans, which would also mark Semiahmoo Arts’ 40th anniversary, and serve as a fundraiser to help fund arts and culture programs and events. But they do have conditions: limiting the number of participants to 700 (from the initial request of 1,000); that organizers obtain $5 million in liability insurance; ensuring the designated celebration area is blocked to the public, yet ensuring access to members

A party for 700 is proposed for on the pier. of the sailing club; and, notifying Canada Customs of the details. Noting that a temporary closure of the pier for a ticketed event may evoke complaints,

Stepura also recommends that non-ticket holders have access to the first 200 feet of the pier. Family-oriented activities would take place along the promenade. Coun. Helen Fathers said council agreed the idea is good “in principle.” Discussion touched on policing costs, railway-tracks safety and allowing alcohol on the pier, she said. “I think there’s a lot of logistical things that have to be worked out.” The decision to refer the proposal back to staff was supported by all of council last week, with Coun. Grant Meyer absent due to the city workers’ picket line.

Lower Mainland residents may not have to go far into the U.S. to partake of legal recreational marijuana that will be sold in retail stores in Washington State later this year. No retail licences have been issued yet, but there are three applicants in Blaine, one in Point Roberts and another further east of Sumas at Maple Falls on the Mount Baker Highway. They’re among 15 applicants vying for seven Whatcom County pot-store licences expected to be determined in July, in addition to six other retail store licences reserved for Bellingham, which are being sought by 27 firms. The state this month released results of lotteries it conducted to determine the order in which it will consider applications in each area. Ranked first in the Whatcom lottery was the proposed Maple Falls outlet, dubbed Green Stop, on the way up to Mount Baker. Only one Blaine proposal was ranked in the top seven – guaranteeing it will at least be considered – while two others in Blaine at Birch Bay and the Point Roberts application are ranked lower, meaning they’ll only have a shot if enough higher-ranked proposals are rejected.

Police are now looking for a second vehicle in relation to the first of two homicides in Surrey last week. Investigators had been looking for a man believed to have fled Cloverdale in a blue 2010 Kia Borrego, later found on fire in South Surrey. Police now believe Barry McQuarrie may be driving a stolen silver 2008 Toyota Highlander. McQuarrie is currently wanted on a series of warrants unrelated to the May 12 homicide. He is not charged in last week’s shooting death at a home near 176 Street and 57 Avenue, but police issued a public warning advising he is to be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees McQuarrie is urged to call 911. Police say the shooting death of Gregory Quesnelle, 32, was not a random act and has no connection with gang or organized-crime activity, but is believed to be the result of an ongoing domestic dispute. It was listed as Surrey’s third murder of the year, and was followed two days later with a fatal stabbing in Kennedy Heights. At about 10 p.m. on May 14, 39-year-old Milton Reyes-Moraga was found wounded in a basement suite in the 9300-block of 132 Street. A close friend said the news of Reyes-Moraga’s death “surprised everyone” because of his easygoing attitude, and believes he was at the suspected killer’s suite having a few beers when things went wrong. “He was an amazing guy,” said his friend, who didn’t want to be named. “He didn’t start fights or anything like that. For him to get stabbed like that is ridiculous.” There are currently no charges laid in the investigation. A 39-year-old man taken in police custody at the scene has been released. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-877-551-4448 or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

The gloves are off: union president i from page 1 As for the relay itself, the group decided not to look for another venue. Copping does not expect that job action, if it continues until then, would extend to the park oval â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â a point Guraliuk confirmed Friday. However, if the strike is not resolved, a stage that is typically provided by the city will not be available, Copping said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a bit of a predicament for usâ&#x20AC;Ś but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going to hang tough,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is nothing compared to cancer. We can deal with whatever we have to.â&#x20AC;? Copping said 177 participants have signed up so far. The relay gets underway at 6 p.m. June 13 and wraps up 12 hours later. Information on participating or donating to the cause is available at www.relaybc.ca The May 24 garage sale is set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Copping is optimistic there will be a good turnout. All proceeds benefit the relay teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraising efforts, which in turn benefit local CCS programs and services.

The scene in front of city hall as council met inside last week. Meanwhile, Guraliuk said city representatives came to the table last week â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprepared and with no proposals to assist in getting to a settlement.â&#x20AC;? The union began full-scale strike action on May 12. According to Guraliuk, the union Thursday proposed a benefits plan similar to that of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firefighters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; paid by employees and administered by the city. But he said city negotiators claimed that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough information about the firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan to discuss the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling me long-term disability is our prime issue for 10 months and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a response?â&#x20AC;? Guraliuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m infuriated.â&#x20AC;?

City manager Dan Bottrill, however, said Friday that the firefighters self-administer their longterm disability, and that while the city would help administer for CUPE workers, the city has â&#x20AC;&#x153;no interestâ&#x20AC;? in assuming the role. He took issue with Guraliukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim the city was unprepared. The city website said Friday that negotiators are interested in continuing talks and are â&#x20AC;&#x153;reviewing the latest CUPE 402-01 proposal in advance of the next session.â&#x20AC;? No further dates are scheduled. Guraliuk said as far as the union is concerned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the gloves are off.â&#x20AC;? A rally outside city hall is set for noon on Tuesday. Guraliuk expects at least 100 people to come out in support.

Surrey endorses plan for mobile vendors

Street food coming to city Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mobile food vendors are on their way, as Surrey council has endorsed a plan to bring the popular street-side eateries to the city. Last week, Surrey council received a corporate report recommending a mobile food-vending program. Sites being considered for the vendors include: North Surrey Recreation Centre, Bear Creek Park, Newton Athletic Park, Newton Community Association, Cloverdale Recreation Centre and the new city hall public plaza. Contracts with potential vendors are being drawn up now, and are expected to include city expectations around litter control, recycling, hours of operation, noise control, allowable signage and the possibility of damage to city infrastructure. Vendors found to be non-compliant will receive warning letters and/or cancellation of their permit to operate in Surrey. Coun. Barbara Steele said that it’s an idea that’s time has come. “I think we need to start that kind of thing, I do,” Steele said. “In the Whalley area here, there’s lots of people walking around here at lunch time and the afternoon and dinner time, I see them every day.” An invitation to vendors is expected to go out this week, with a deadline for applications by the end of the month. A city panel will decide which vendors receive permits. “A number of criteria will be used to select the successful vendors including number of

food options, and a waste management plan,” a corporate report to council states.

“This process will ensure diverse types of food offerings, healthy menu considerations and vendors able to meet operational requirements.” Which vendor gets which site can be managed in a number of ways, including rotating vendors, permanent placements or a lottery system. The selection review of vendors will take until June 6, and the program begins June 16.

editorial

Options mean more consumers

espite its own poll showing support, the City of White Rock has wavered on introducing food trucks on Marine Drive, making it unlikely such mobile food dispensers will be a feature of the summertime scene at the waterfront, this year, at least. At the same time, further north, the City of Surrey has said yes to both food trucks and carts as an option and an acceptable business plan. Opening up such competition has been resisted by existing restaurants – particularly in White Rock, where the feeling of owners is that the pie they have to divide is already a meager one, and a solid summer is the best guarantee of solvency year-round. Given the experience in other communities – such as Portland, Ore. – it’s hard to imagine that having more variety of food options won’t soon become the norm in our cities. Business analysts agree that, in the long run, competition is a healthy stimulant for trade, and having a multiplicity of choice will be a draw rather than a deterrent in the marketplace. Artificial protectionism may afford short-term security – but it’s scarcely an incentive in promoting an area as a desirable destination. We venture to say the consumer looking for a relaxed, full-service dining experience is not necessarily the same consumer lining up on the corner for a quick bite, no matter how gourmet. And businesses should recognize that these same potential diners who opt for mobile-vendor food might just like enough of what they see to plan a return visit. All of which, it must be recognized, offers scant comfort to restaurants struggling to survive in an economic climate that has brought out a fickle side in the most loyal customers. Sadly, it does not fall within the purview of a city to insist that its restaurants have viable business plans. In one area, however, the city can help. The biggest enemy of the Marine Drive restaurant is not competition from promenade vendors, but an inflexible parking policy – and a reliance on the cash cow of parking revenues – that does nothing to encourage tourism. Stories of draconian parking enforcement are legion – and they have created an atmosphere that, far from being welcoming, seems barely tolerant of the visitor with sufficient temerity to visit our picturesque shoreline. It will take significant policy changes to reverse that impression, but – like the restaurants – the City of White Rock needs to take a long view, particularly when it comes to forsaking shortterm revenues for long-term benefit.

on the Fraser River and Vancouver Island, corroborating elders’ accounts. During those three years, Cowichan men attacked the Chilliwack Stó:lo community four times. In the same period, the journal records 30 incidents of intercommunity violence, some reaching down to present-day Washington state. Atlas editor Keith Thor Carlson summarized the research this way: “Viewed from the perspective of the aggressor, raids and attacks appear to have been motivated primarily by a desire to obtain quick wealth… or to exact revenge for previous insults.” Study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of violence back at least 3,000 years. Historians characterize some of this as warfare. British colonial authorities had some “settler constructs” about these activities: they saw them as assault, robbery and murder as well as slavery. This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settlement of British Columbia, the imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools. None of this is to excuse the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multi-generational damage to a culture. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone. But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well.

Kids pay for failed talks

Patience lost over parking

More factors to consider

Editor: Re: Full-scale strike for White Rock workers, May 13. I don’t care what side you are coming from but I think both the union and the City of White Rock are at fault and they are making the kids pay for it. First of all, the Semiahmoo Lacrosse Association – with more than 15 teams – can’t play at home. We have to go all the way to Chilliwack and play home. Who is paying for my time and gas? Now with floor hockey, everything is up in the air because of this. Again, kids are paying for it. We pay more property taxes than anybody in Canada, and we have to put with this! No garbage pickup – I wonder if my fellow residents in White Rock will dump their garbage at city hall. Ivan Rojas, White Rock

Editor: In South Surrey, at the corner of 16 Avenue and 156 Street, there are two hospital parking lots. One has been there for many years and provides income for health care, I presume. The second lot has been there for around four years and was constructed to hold probably 200250 cars. In the years since this lot was built: nobody uses it; nobody parks in it; and it provides no income for the hospital. I can’t get into the hospital for a surgery without waiting forever and, out of necessity, have to pay a surgeon in a private clinic. Yet huge amounts of money can be spent on useless items, such as this parking lot. I can imagine how many surgeries could have been covered and people’s health improved if this money had been put to proper use. I would be curious to know what enlightened soul was allowed to make the decision to waste money – that could be put to health care – on this dead-end project. Roger Currie, Surrey

Editor: Re: Best response for all of us, May 1 letters. BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) board chair Wynne Powell’s letter in response to mine (Delays for ‘routine’ calls, April 24) is significantly different than thirdparty consultant Alan Craig reports. Rather than rely on industry best practices as suggested by Dr. William Dick, BCEHS vicepresident, Craig’s report actually contradicts that claim due to missing data, recommending that BCEHS amend their analytic metrics. Craig also confirms that the BCEHS Resource Action Plan (RAP) development was in essence the less reliable “expert opinion” process not an evidence-based methodology. He states, “The BCEHS RAP process as it exists today is, at its heart, a consensus process, driven by individuals who play varying roles in the EMS system. Although informed by data, the process was not decided by the data, for a wide range of reasons.” RAP changes did not consider health interventions applied prior to paramedics arriving on scene;

Dust clouds don’t beautify Editor: Port Metro Vancouver is really selling itself with TV ads saying how environmentally responsible they are. One phrase caught my attention: “maintain the beauty of the port for all of us.” So why would they even consider turning Fraser Surrey Docks into the third coal dock on the Lower Mainland? Folks living on both sides of the Fraser River are well aware of the dust clouds that already erupt when other products are loaded on ships at FSD. Adding U.S. thermal coal dust will certainly not enhance the beauty of our area. David Gibbs, Surrey

where first responders enhance patient care. With the help of oxygen, a patient with high blood pressure, rapid respirations and a rapid heartbeat, may retain normal vital signs when paramedics arrive by lights and siren. The same patient, waiting 30, 40 or 60 minutes with routine response, may deteriorate. When looking at the best way to deliver emergency care to our families, we need to look at the existing availability, capability and further potential offered by first responders. If BCEHS has no desire to rely or even consider first-responder support, we are destined to spend more and more on ambulances, while a pool of first-responder support remains untapped. BCEHS appears intent on comparing itself to Ontario; a mediocre system at best. Yet, two hours down the road, King County is a world-class system. Residents deserve better; they pay for it. Our families have a right to expect timely response. Patient care is deeper than measuring an outcome that ignores the role of first responders. Our families expect emergency care when in need, not expert opinions based on incomplete data. Mike McNamara, Surrey

The high risks of multitasking Editor: I’ve been told by many drivers that they are quite capable of driving safely while talking or even texting on their phone. Last November, a texting driver drove over my foot. She didn’t see me because she was focused on her phone, and she is still unaware of the injuries she caused me. If you think you can text and drive well at the same time, I have a challenge for you: Put one hand on your belly and the other on your head. Rub your belly and tap your head for at least two minutes. Now reverse your hands and try it. And now do it while reciting the alphabet aloud – backwards. Not so good, eh? Multitasking just means doing several things at the same time – all badly. Please think twice about multitasking while you are driving. The life you save may be your own. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Cloverdale campus is underfunded, writes Kwantlen board member Geoff Dean.

Take another look at bottom line Editor: Re: Minister’s year of learning, May 13. It’s great that Education Minister Peter Fassbender “absolutely respect(s) the importance of education to the future of the community and the nation.” He’s right – without adequate education, our children and our neighbours won’t be able to get good jobs, our businesses won’t be able to find the employees they need, and our economy and our communities won’t be as vibrant and healthy as they could be. Education, from kindergarten through university, is an essential part of our society’s infrastructure; it’s something we must invest in to ensure that our future, and our children’s future, is good. But the government’s investment in education in Surrey has always been way too low – our K-12 system has been shortchanged in many ways, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, our region’s post-secondary institution, has never gotten more than half the funding

that the other regions in B.C. get for their local colleges and universities, relative to population of each region. So, if Fassbender really believes in the importance of education to the future of this community, he and colleague Amrik Virk – minister of advanced education, also representing Surrey – had better invest more in education here. Fassbender ended his interview by asking where does the money come from. That’s easy: it comes from our pockets, in the various taxes we pay. Sure, balancing the budget is important, but if we do that only by cutting spending, our necessary infrastructure will decay. The budget can also be balanced by increasing the government’s income, by raising corporate and/or personal taxes, so that we can build and maintain the infrastructure necessary for a healthy economy. If the government’s not willing to do that, they’re just presiding over our province’s decay. Geoff Dean, Surrey

Your FIRST CHOICE for AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS in White Rock & South Surrey SINCE 1989!

Students collect thousands of pencils for Kenya

Erasing school-supply need Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Students at White Rock Elementary put a lot of effort into supplying Kenyan students with a simple tool. Led by the school’s Grade 7 Global Leadership Group, students organized a pencil fundraiser benefiting children in the African country who can not easily access the utensil. The idea for the fundraiser came to school mom Lara Pai after her aunt, humanitarian and Gulf Island director of ICROSS Canada, Mollie Colson told her she was looking for pencils to bring to students who were in need of school supplies. “When I heard about her quest to find as many pencils as she could, I thought a school fundraiser was a great start,” Pai said. Each classroom was challenged to see who could bring in the most pencils, among other

White Rock Elementary students show off some of the pencils and other school supplies they’ve collected for students in Kenya. school supplies. Students took the challenge to heart, Pai said, noting that a Grade 2 student took her $2 allowance to the dollar store to buy herself something, and instead, spent her toonie on 12 pencils for the fundraiser. “She told her grandma that she would rather use her $2 to buy two packs of pencils and the other people in line and the

cashier heard it all, and they each gave her $1 to help buy more pencils,” Pai said. The Grade 2 and Grade 3 fine arts classes brought in more than 1,200 pencils, as well as dozens of notebooks, packs of paper and more. In total, the school collected 3,222 pencils, 172 notebooks, 126 packs of paper, 86 erasers and 67 pencil sharpeners.

The school supplies were then donated to Kenya through Compassionate Resources Warehouse. Pai said the students hope that other schools will take on the challenge. “They… hope to inspire and challenge other schools to join in the effort to help less-fortunate children around the world have the simplest tool for learning – a pencil.”

Earl Marriott’s run of Fraser Valley rugby titles ends in Abbotsford

Mariners look to shake off Valley loss Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the first time in six years, the Earl Marriott Mariners won’t head to senior boys rugby provincials as Fraser Valley champions. The Mariners – winners of five straight AAA Valley banners heading into this season – lost the Valley championship game Wednesday night at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium, 24-15 to their longtime rivals from Robert Bateman Secondary. Despite being multiple-time champions, Marriott went into the game underdogs – they were sixth in B.C. AAA rankings, while Bateman was third, and in the end, the higher-ranked squad pulled off the win, though it took a second-half comeback to do it. Marriott led 15-5 at halftime, thanks to

he admitted. “Losing is always difficult, no matter what, and it’s always tough to get past,” he said. “But kids are resilient – we’ll shake this off.” Rather than dwell on the negative, Roberts said he hoped his team’s quota of “big losses” had been filled, and the tide would turn by provincials, which begin Saturday at three sites – Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Kamloops – across the province. “The guys just need to learn to win. They haven’t had that big win yet, and if they get one, maybe that’s the difference,” he said. The team’s new goal is to finish provincials as the highest-placing public school, Roberts added. “That’s within our reach, for sure,” he said.

Southridge girls advance to soccer provincials

24 HOUR

Storm win Valleys Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Southridge Storm have claimed a fourth straight Fraser Valley senior girls ‘A’ soccer title, after a win on their home field last week. On Wednesday, the South Surrey team shut out Langley Christian 3-0 in a victory head coach Gordon Smith called “a pretty dominant performance.” Laura Podmore opened the scoring for Southridge, and Jill Brockman followed with back-to-back goals – one in each half – to stretch the lead to 3-0. In addition to the goal scorers, Smith was especially

complimentary of centre-back Sarah Boughen and midfielder Katherine Toy, both of whom the coach credited for helping keep Langley’s offence at bay. “We didn’t give them any chances,” Smith said. Winning another banner was especially meaningful for players who’ve been on the team for a few seasons, Smith said; 11 members of the team were on last year’s Valley championship squad, as well. Now, the team will have a few weeks to practise and prepare for the upcoming

provincials, which are set for May 29-31 at West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver. Smith expects his team to be among a handful of top contenders at the B.C. showdown. “I think we’ll go in as a top-five seed,” he said. “But all sorts of stuff can happen when it starts, so we’ll see what happens when we get there. “But I think we’ll be competitive – we’ll be in the mix.”

Making life easier with home automation By Kerry Vital Imagine being able to turn on your lights before you get home, or checking on your home security system while on vacation. Home automation not only makes everyday tasks easier, it can also make for a simpler life. “It’s important to determine what you want, based on your end goal,” says Lee Rente, president of Encore Security and Automation. “Do you want it to automate audio? Visual? A security system? Your lights? It’s possible to do all of those things and more.” Control4 is one of the most popular home automation systems and is able to be installed in both existing and new construction homes. “It’s a scalable system,” says Rente. “You can start small and expand as you go. Every piece you add can be utilized as you expand the system. Everything works as one to create a larger, stronger system.” Light switches and dimmers are particularly popular items, and can make a big difference. Rente notes that having the lights turn on when you enter your home at night is one of the most-requested options, and can be accomplished with any automated switch or dimmer. “Any light switch can be swapped out for an automated one,” he says. “There are also a variety of wireless controls and sensors, so your home doesn’t have to be pre-wired.” Having a good installer when dealing with putting home automation into a renovation project is paramount.

as your iPad or smartphone, it is also important to have a good network. “You will run into a lot more issues with a cheap entry-level router than if you have a quality router,” says Rente. “You really have to rely on the strength of your wireless network with home automation.” The integral part of a home automation system is the home controller, which Rente calls “the brain.” “It will tell everything else what to do, how to do it and when to do it,” he says. “Everything else depends on it. You’ll also need an interface, whether

it’s an app or a touchscreen.” A remote control is also a handy addition, allowing you to use a single remote for all of your devices instead of having to keep track of multiple pieces. Installing home automation into an existing home can be more work and will take longer than it would to install it during construction, but Rente says not to let that deter you. “If you plan out the project and can use your existing wires and other technology, it doesn’t have to be hard,” he says.

The sky’s the limit when it comes to ceiling decor “ from page.1

the ceiling colour about six inches down the wall. Something else to keep in mind when Paint is one of your many options when it comes to the choosing a colour for your ceiling is that the ceiling. While white is a classic and still the most popular, adding a splash of colour to the ceiling might be just what your lighting will be very different. The same colour on a wall and a ceiling will look different as the room needs. But how do you choose which colour? walls are hit with more light. “There are a couple of simple colour premises, that when “The trick to ending up with a ceiling colour followed, help to create a harmonious look in a room,” says true to what you want is to make sure to hold Bell. “Cool and light colours recede, warm and darker colours the colour sample over your head,” Bell says. advance.” “That way the light will hit it the same way it When used on a ceiling, a light colour will make the ceiling will once the colour is painted on the ceiling.” appear higher, while a dark colour will make it look lower. Something that you should keep in mind Another way to make a ceiling look higher or lower is to paint however is that a ceiling is rarely perfect, and thus Bell recommends choosing a flat paint in order to hide some of the imperfections. If you’re looking for something a bit different, try putting wallpaper on the ceiling. “People are learning that wallpaper doesn’t have to be just for walls,” says Anita Modha, owner and CEO at ROLLOUT Custom Wallpaper. “Part of the allure of putting wallpaper on the ceiling is the texture and design.” Modha notes that bright and bold colours are the most popular for ceilings, but it depends on the room it’s being installed in. For example, a living room might be a better place to do something bold and graphic, while a quieter pattern would be more suited to a bedroom. “You want to make sure it’s something that you don’t mind looking at every morning,” says Modha. “You don’t want to be startled Whether it’s a coat of paint or wallpaper, a pop of colour on the ceiling can make a when you wake up!” room much more interesting. One advantage of putting wallpaper on a Photos submitted by Beauti-Tone ceiling is that it’s not a permanent change.

“It can be a really great way to change a space quite quickly,” Modha says. However, she also recommends making sure that the work is done by a professional installer, especially when it comes to the ceiling. A very high ceiling would need to involve scaffolding, which is not something that most homeowners will want to deal with on their own. Tin ceilings are another trend that is coming back. Originally popular in the Victorian era as an inexpensive alternative to plaster, peel-and-stick tin ceiling tiles are now available in a range of intricate designs that still mirror their humble origins. Wood planks installed on the ceiling might seem like you’re turning the room upside-down, but they’re also great for adding texture to a space. Beadboard can give you a similar look. “It takes just a few dollars to transform a room from lovely to ‘wow,’” Bell says. “Don’t overlook those ceilings because they really do add a lot to the whole look of your home.”
