Eviction deadline looms for South Surrey couple who have lived in the woods for a decade

‘From homelessness to street people’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Roy Mercer

This weekend, for the first time in about 10 years, Roy Mercer and Darlene Fox may be more than just homeless. “We’re going from homelessness to street people again,” Mercer said Wednesday. “Having to sleep on top of each other to stay warm – we know all about it.” The couple, who call a forested patch

of private land in South Surrey home, learned late last month that they would have to move on. Told that the city had received a complaint, they were given until Nov. 1 – this Saturday – to leave. As of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Wednesday, it remained unclear if the order would be enforced. But Mercer said he and Fox were trying to prepare for it nonetheless –

Mercer even started a full-time job this month, working with heavy equipment in Richmond, but had to give it up after a week due to difficulties with depth perception. “Boy, was I mad,” he said, adding he will continue part-time work loading trucks. The couple say they would reject any offer of shelter beds.

This week, officials at Surrey’s Hyland House – a program of Options Community Services that offers emergency shelter and support to the homeless – promised to arrange for a bin “in the next few days” that they can use to clear the myriad items they’ve collected or built over the years. The balance is to be put in storage. i see page 10

An early-morning shooting south of Cloverdale Tuesday is believed to have injured two men. Officers were dispatched to a home in 17900-block of 40 Avenue at about 5 a.m. Oct. 28, in response to a report of shots fired. At the scene, they discovered evidence of a marijuana grow-op and “evidence… that can be described as consistent with a shooting,” but no victims. About 20 minutes later, police learned that two people suffering from gunshot wounds were found in a parking lot across from Surrey Memorial Hospital. The pair – two men in their 30s – were taken to hospital; one, in critical condition. And while police have not arrested anyone in connection with the shootings (as of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Wednesday), officials say the public need not fear. “Based on the details we know, the circumstance of both incidents and the fact that both males with gunshot wounds are well-known to police, we’re very comfortable in saying the public is not at risk,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said. He said Wednesday that investigators believe the two incidents are linked, but “we still have several questions that are unanswered so far.”

almost certainly depend on the individual councillor. Some are very receptive to helping out citizens – others are not. No matter which type of ward system was adopted, the mayor would be elected at large and would represent the whole city. Going to the mayor for help could always provide another option. Given that the mayor has more staff, that might also be a quicker way through the city bureaucracy. Of the three frontrunners, Linda Hepner is the most lukewarm towards wards, but she is prepared to put the issue to referendum in 2018. That may be the best way to continue the discussion, as a referendum would allow for more detailed research into just how a ward system would serve Surrey’s needs. As noted here before, my thoughts on wards are that it would make it much easier for candidates to campaign; it would boost voter turnout, because there would be fewer names on the ballot; and it could actually allow independent candidates a decent chance to be elected. However, the whole picture includes how an elected councillor best serves citizens, when elected in a geographical area of the city. In addition, all members of council need to think of Surrey as more than just a sum made up of various geographic parts of the city. Narrow parochialism does not serve a large and fastgrowing city well. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Walters reflects on 23 years at newspaper

PAN publisher prepares to turn the page Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Nov. 29 will mark the end of an era for Peace Arch News, and the start of a new “special section” for Rita Walters. After 23 years with the newspaper – climbing the ranks from sales rep to ad manager to publisher – Walters is retiring. And she is the first to admit that the adjustment to a slower-paced lifestyle from the long days of her busy career will take some getting used to. “Quite honestly, I’m worried,” she said, laughing. “I’m going to miss my busy life.” Walters started with PAN in 1991, and took over leadership of its sales department in ’99. Over the years, she has helped the paper grow and evolve, and watched it succeed through myriad changes and challenges, including a still-struggling economy.

The second oldest of four children – and the last one still in the working world – Walters said she only started giving serious thought to retirement in February, when she turned 65. “It’s probably been the most difficult decision I’ve made, to leave this community and this newspaper,” Walters said. “I’ve always felt it’s the community and the newspaper that I care so much about that has always inspired me to do the best job I possibly could.” Walters said her strong belief in the community made getting – and staying – involved “hugely satisfying.” Her roles have ranged from vice-president of the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce and a director with the Peninsula Community Foundation, to 15 years on both the Peace Arch Hospital and Centre for Child Development’s gala committees. Walters has also been involved with the Sea Festival, the

Housing concerns addressed at non-profit forum

‘Once sold, land’s likely gone for good’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In all of Metro Vancouver, the highest populations of seniors living alone are found in South Surrey and Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. “It’s about eight per cent,” Peter Greenwell told Peace Arch News during a forum earlier this month at Gracepoint Church. “People talk about the grey wave coming – it’s here.” Greenwell is facilitator of the Peninsula Homeless to Housing (PH2H) Task Force, which hosted the forum to explore “housing and development with a social lens” – how congregations and other organizations can use their land assets to help meet such demands as financial need and affordable housing for seniors and others who struggle. About 40 people turned out to hear from five panelists, who offered tips for the best chance of success with such undertakings, shared examples of land-development-for-social-purposes initiatives and cautioned cities against handing land ownership over to private interests. “One of our biggest concerns, we see a lot of land ownership and even development rights on land… being transferred from what I would call community ownership to private,” said Robert Brown, president of Catalyst Community Developments Society, a B.C.-based

not-for-profit real estate developer. “It’s very difficult to wrestle land back from private ownership. Once it’s gone, it’s probably not coming back.” According to the task force, congregations across B.C. are pursuing redevelopment of their land assets with an eye to matching their social missions. Forum attendees heard that securing support early on in the process, getting the community onside and having, at minimum, a basic business plan are critical in the endeavours. Emily Beam, Vancity’s manager of strategic programs, said groups that own their land have the best chance of success. Those assets represent a “tremendous opportunity” to both create long-term financial stability and contribute to the community, she said. “I really do believe that there’s so much potential and that we can effect change in our community.” Locally, at least two groups are exploring such projects. Brown said Catalyst has been working with Semiahmoo House Society for about 18 months on plans for a 71-unit project that will create affordable housing for people with developmental disabilities. Eyed for land adjacent to the society’s “treehouse” facility in South Surrey, the cluster-

housing project recently secured the necessary zoning, he said. Of 20 units earmarked for people with developmental disabilities, half will be made available in 60-year leases, an aspect Brown said was “an important piece of this particular project.” First United Church began exploring the possibility of redeveloping its White Rock property in 2010, and contracted with the B.C. Conference of the United Church of Canada’s Property Resources team in 2012 for a feasibility study. In June 2013, they voted to have a redevelopment proposal prepared that included a new church as part of a four-floor mixed-use housing project. According to the church’s website, the process is ongoing, however, construction is not expected until at least next summer. Central Presbyterian Church’s Rev. Jim Smith – whose Vancouver church is in the midst of a major redevelopment into a multi-use facility – told the forum it’s critical that groups planning such a redevelopment understand why they are doing it. “The best reason for this is to do more of what you do,” he said, noting that goals of a new building or saving a struggling congregation are not enough. “And you need to understand what’s involved. It’s not simple… but it’s really worth doing.”

BNSF Railway’s temporary rerouting of empty coal trains that normally return to the U.S. through South Surrey and White Rock could extend into the new year. Since last summer, up to three empty coal trains per day have instead rolled east on other railcompany lines through Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, where they turn and take BNSF’s Sumas line south into Washington State en route back to coal mines in Wyoming and Montana. BNSF spokesperson Courtney Wallace said the railway has another extension to continue the rerouting until at least Nov. 30, and that it could run past the end of the year. After that time, the rerouted trains would return to the main BNSF line through White Rock. BNSF’s change in route in the Lower Mainland has been to enable upgrading work on tracks along the Bellingham waterfront. Civic leaders in both Surrey and White Rock have suggested the tracks could be permanently moved inland, and White Rock has commissioned an advisor on how best to make that happen. While Wallace said running loaded coal trains north through White Rock and empty ones south via Sumas has been better for rail traffic flow, she said she’s not aware of plans to continue the practice. “We’re always looking at how we can best utilize all the routes on our network,” she added. Meanwhile, another BNSF policy change may result in fewer substandard oil tanker train cars coming north on its lines into B.C. The railway said Friday it will levy a $1,000 surcharge on each DOT-111 tanker – the same puncture-prone cars that exploded in last year’s Lac-Mégantic disaster. The Canadian government last spring said the older crude tankers must be upgraded or replaced within three years, and they’ve already been banned from hauling dangerous chemicals.

Fowler was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital, where she underwent neurosurgery. The then-18-year-old was put into a drug-induced coma for a week, but stayed asleep long after.

With the support of her parents, Dawn and Simon Potts, her brother, Joseph Fowler, and longtime boyfriend, Tyler Ronaghan, the former ballerina began to rebuild her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just all amazing people.

That changed, however, when Fowler went to visit a friend at Royal Columbian Hospital. Her mother suggested she return to the unit where she was in a coma, to visit the caregivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to remember anyone, but she said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember you and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy to see you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Fowler said, noting that the last time she was seen by the hospital staff, she was in a coma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, I was walking with a walker, and all of a sudden, all these faces looked up at me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Fowler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what? Five years ago?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And the nurse told him it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even been a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was shocked.â&#x20AC;? The father immediately called his wife and told her about his experience meeting Fowler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The look on his face was so touching. I knew then I had to make my writings into a book. Because if I can add that much positivity to someone from just seeing me, imagine what I could do if I wrote about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told all these bad things. Doctors always tell you the worst, but the thing you have to remember is to not give up, no matter what doctors tell you.â&#x20AC;?

Candidates for the Surrey Board of Education met to debate issues. schools, opinions varied. Bob Holmes noted Surrey is forced to spend $4 million annually on portables and gets no extra compensation from the province. Nicole Joliet said government has stripped millions from funding over the years and “sneakily” forced boards to balance budgets. “You know what I’d do?” she said. “I’d submit a deficit budget.” Incumbent Laurie Larsen said she repeatedly invited Premier Christy Clark – to no avail – to spend a day in a Surrey classroom to see needs firsthand. Trustees were asked about the correlation between education and crime. “It’s not about bringing more police to the streets,” said Harman Singh, “it’s about bringing more education to the system.” Julie Tapley said it comes down to proper funding to offer pro-

grams that make kids feel valued. Kirsty Peterson agreed, saying if schools don’t have places where kids can fit in, they’ll look outside school for a sense of belonging. A question about the new BC Education Plan elicited response. “There’s great change coming to our children’s education system,” said Enair. “Our parents need to know what these changes are and they need to know how it’s going to affect their children.” Niovi Patsicakis said changes might negatively impact students with special needs, and that the government’s drive for skills training could curtail academic focus. The two-hour meeting was hosted by the Surrey District Parent Advisory Council. Surrey elects six trustees on Nov. 15. A seventh trustee is selected in White Rock, where incumbent Laurae McNally is acclaimed.

Improving communication, funding and crime’s link to education dominated the debate during an all-candidates meeting for school trustee hopefuls last week. About 100 residents showed up at the District Education Centre Thursday to hear from those running in the upcoming civic election for a spot at the Surrey Board of Education table. The first question put to the 20 of 23 potential trustees in attendance was how they’d better communicate with parents. Several candidates said the board needs to use tools like email, websites and social media to engage busy parents. Forrest Smith, who is deaf and spoke through an interpreter, referred to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s website as a good example. Rayman Bhuller disagreed, however, saying not all parents can be online all the time. “Real incidents and real problems – they don’t just exist in the web world,” he said. Other candidates said trustees simply need to listen. Rina Diaz said there needs to be consultation with parent advisory councils – something the board neglects to do, she said.

Have a scary, but safe, Halloween

his year, Halloween will collide with the beginning of the weekend, on Friday night. Weekends and Halloween can be a potent mix sometimes, as the activities of young trickor-treaters collide with those of adults who want to celebrate the end of a work week, and in the case of Halloween, often use it as an occasion for a party. If you’re not one to want your little costumed trick-or-treaters roaming neighbourhood streets, there are plenty of family-friendly alternatives. For a suggested $2 donation – proceeds go to the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Society – Semiahmoo Shopping Centre will host its annual trick-or-treating event tomorrow, from 5-6 p.m., which, being indoors, is especially ideal if the weather doesn’t co-operate. There are other community events around the Peninsula, too – a haunted house at Camp Alexandra, among others – which should gives parents and children safe, but spooky, Halloween experience. Many children, of course, still love the traditional experience of dressing up and going door-to-door, and there are plenty of ways for them to stay safe. Parents should accompany them, of course. And wearing some type of reflective clothing is very helpful, as is carrying a flashlight, so as to be as visible as possible to motorists, who need to be very careful Friday night, as well. While trick or treating usually doesn’t go on too late, the weather has not been particularly good of late, and it will be very dark, no matter the weather conditions. Taking some extra precautions behind the wheel is a good idea. As fireworks are not being sold in most Lower Mainland cities – city-wide bans have been put in place in recent years – there are fewer issues involving their misuse. Nonetheless, there are always a few individuals who manage to get their hands on some fireworks, so caution is encouraged – both for those who set them off, and for those in the vicinity. Police and fire-department personnel usually expect a busy Halloween, and will likely be out in force, so hopefully mischief is kept to a minimum. Halloween can, and should, be a fun evening for revellers of all ages – from the youngest trick-ortreaters to parents and other adults at parties. But planning ahead, and exercising caution and responsibility, is a good way to ensure that all goes well on the scariest night of the year.

justification of atrocious acts of violence. How terribly ironic that the soldiers who died in these incidents joined the forces to protect the very freedoms that are being abused by terrorists who live in this country, believe as they wish, and teach their evil in gatherings and via the Internet and social media. That’s the truly unsettling factor in this. These individuals did not arrive in this country mere days or even months ago, imported killers bent on violence. They grew up in our cities and towns. They may have received their indoctrination in the country, or from online sources from anywhere in the world. Regardless, Canada has homegrown terrorists. How many more are out there? What do they intend to do? It sounds cold, but compared to 9/11, this week’s incidents are small. The perpetrator(s) could easily have sent a hail of bullets into a shopping mall crowded with shoppers, or sent an explosives-laden truck into the midst of a Remembrance Day ceremony. Or maybe something like that is yet to come. It would be highly unrealistic to believe this is over. It would be wildly naive to think the authorities can detect and prevent all other further attacks. Canadian laws don’t permit law enforcers to arrest and detain for an indeterminate time anyone who merely talks about religious extremism, or even openly supports it. This is, after all, a free country. Now the acutely difficult challenge is to preserve it, from within. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

Some complain but I’m grateful Editor: Having read the letters to the editor, I am finally forced to write to all the complainers here in White Rock. Trains, buses, new developments… complain, complain. Why don’t people realize White Rock is at the end of a Peninsula? The U.S. border is next. So in order to get out of this area, we need cars and, yes, bus service. Unfortunately, I became a cancer patient shortly after giving up my car, and I am eternally grateful to be able to catch the bus at Thrift Avenue and Johnston Road to get me to my many appointments at Surrey Memorial, Jim Pattison Outpatient Centre and downtown. I really would be lost without that convenience. I’ve never seen a bus barrel down any street, but I watch with amazement as cars fly through White Rock – certainly not obeying the speed limit. To the person who just started renting a home on Thrift (Debate grows over long buses, Oct. 23 letters), you could always stay until the end of your lease and move. To me and many others, we need those Greyhound-type buses to get from A to B. White Rock is no longer our little City by the Sea; it has become a large city with not a lot of room to manoeuvre! Willy Clancy, White Rock

these were, they are no different than the opinions expressed in this article. It is a sad expression of White Rock/South Surrey as a community that we all share. Jim Wood, White Rock

Slates not just all or nothing Editor: With the municipal elections just a couple of weeks away, and the lists of candidates appearing in the local press, it should be pointed out, to those who do not know, that voters can just choose one or two names on the slates and be quite legal, having done their duty. Many, seeing a request for nine councillors, will feel obligated to put a cross beside nine names – sometimes arbitrarily checking the first nine, or the last nine on the list, with variations in between! The fact that we can vote almost anywhere in Surrey, and for days prior to Nov. 15, makes voting easier. Let’s hope we get more out to the polls. Sheila Gair, Surrey

Return to rail normalcy Editor: The residents of White Rock have had to endure sleep deprivation for many months now, and no end is in sight. The incessant train whistles have not come as often now, but they are still there day and night and appear to occur only at the whim of the engineer. May I make a suggestion? Let the city install one of those train horns beside BNSF owner Warren Buffet’s house. I, for one, disagree with those wanting to move the tracks. I say keep them there for the passenger trains. This transportation corridor will be needed in the future when the population and energy conservation policies demand it. Yes, we do need a new route for the dangerous goods, especially with the tracks bordering the Pacific and bluffs with large trees above. The storm in Stanley Park with the accompanying high sea state and winds destroyed the sea wall and broke numerous trees in the

dead of night. And with rising sea levels and promised larger and more frequent storms this scenario is frightening to comprehend. And let’s not forget mud slides. A derailment is only a matter of time, especially for the long and heavy freight trains. I know it is a herculean task – as there are many stakeholders involved and the costs are high – but please, let’s get back to some normalcy and recognize that the knee-jerk reaction with the horn was a mistake. What is needed is reasonable enforcement, responsible ownership and, indeed, proper vigilance when crossing the tracks. Are you listening, Warren? Fix your property so that the citizens of White Rock can once again enjoy a good night’s sleep. And Transport Canada can go back to doing what they should be doing, that is considering the horrific consequences of a derailment involving toxic chemicals in a highly populated corridor. As you have so aptly demonstrated, albeit misguided, it is your job to protect us, isn’t it? Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock

Sexuality not a choice Editor: Re: ‘Family group’ targets pro-gay policy, Oct. 23. I read, with such disappointment, the front-page article on the local “family group” expressing their concern about the Surrey School District’s Resolution 9410.2. First of all, the fact that we require such a resolution is a sad expression on our society. We do, however, if it allows our children to be more accepting and not blindly follow the biased and archaic views expressed by their parents. Being gay or lesbian is not a choice, but simply who you are. We are not surrounded by homosexual activists who will “force” our children to be gay or lesbian. They will be what they will be, and if they are allowed to do that without the condemnation of the rest of society, they will be allowed to live happy, open lives. More importantly, it saddens me that even in this day and age, there are people expressing these views. They call themselves a family group. If they were my family, I would disown them. If they were my parents, I would be ashamed. If they were my teachers, I would be scared. Historically, there have been groups and world leaders who have been universally condemned for their prejudice, and no matter what

A tree took down 20 Avenue power lines last week, giving passersby a light show before police closed the road.

Lessons renewed in windstorm Editor: The overnight storm on Oct. 22 was yet another reminder of the danger to life, limb and property to which South Surrey is exposed each year between now and February. Downed limbs and trees knocked out both power and telephone land lines – for up to 18 hours in our neighbourhood – and made many roads in South Surrey barely navigable; students lost yet another day of school due to cancelled classes; many home businesses were forced to “lay down tools” and suffer a day’s loss of income; javelin-like fir limbs speared some unfortunate homeowners’ roofs. Imagine the hardship on house-bound seniors, had this storm hit during sub-zero temperatures. And don’t for a minute think that a giant wind storm similar to the one that produced that extensive blowdown in Stanley Park a few years back couldn’t happen in South Surrey. Our area is particularly susceptible to strong winds off Mud Bay, and such a storm here could have disastrous consequences. Most of these unpleasant side-effects of our fall and winter storms could be avoided if city hall were to show a little common sense regarding its restrictive tree-

cutting policy. Isn’t it about time we allowed BC Hydro the latitude to actually remove trees adjacent to power lines rather than simply pollarding – making a cutout – around the lines? And how about giving homeowners the freedom to protect themselves and their property by allowing, for example, the cutting of one tree a year – as is the case in neighbouring municipalities – without having to go through the expensive rigmarole of hiring an arborist, buying a licence, posting a bond and committing to planting two for every one removed? It might even save a few bucks at city hall by making redundant half the tree-bylaw staff. Chris Hodgson, Surrey Q The power outages last week probably inconvenienced a lot of people. On the bright side, however, they slowed traffic down to a crawl – due to many traffic lights being out – and the situation forced drivers to notice things that they normally fly by without seeing. For example, the speed limit signs. Surprise! Yep, the power outages likely saved a lot of drivers a lot of speeding tickets – or worse. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Candidate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trade showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; set for seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; centre An informal opportunity to learn more about the people hoping to represent White Rock voters for the next four years is to take place Saturday at the Kent Street Activity Centre. The Nov. 1 meet-and-greet has been organized for the independent candidates by Joy Davies, a White Rock resident who plans to seek the federal Liberal nomination for South SurreyWhite Rock. Davies said by email that she was moved to offer the assistance because â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not been happy to see good people remain unelected simply because they did not have the financial means to compete with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; candidates.â&#x20AC;? She also hopes it will bolster voter

turnout on Nov. 15 and result in â&#x20AC;&#x153;a greater diversity of experience, education and thoughtâ&#x20AC;? at the council table. Slates, she notes, have a financial advantage over independents. As well, there is the perception that favours are owed to corporations that contribute to those campaigns, and that slates vote in unison, she writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are at the table to support some one elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda, usually the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

A self-sufficient couple i from page 1 Mercer and Fox believe that plans to develop the property adjacent to where they have been staying are central in the push to move them along. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve yet to hear specifics about the complaint that triggered the order. The couple has not relied on incomeassistance or any other government help in the past, and said they do not plan to start now. Mercer said looking for a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? is complicated by the steps they take just to survive. Everything they need to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; collecting scrap metal and bottles, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they do at night, all the while keeping an eye on area businesses. Mercer worries that crime in the

For 50 years, Vic and Irene Michaluk (above, and in earlier years, top right) have run their business with the help of family, including their daughter, Toni Charles who has worked at the White Rock storefront since she was a high school student (bottom right photo, centre). Now, Charles’ husband, Doug, and sons all play a hand in the family business.

Penguin Meats marks major milestone Sarah Massah

The meat shop, with the signature green awning, is where Vic and wife, Irene, raised their children, including Toni, who has worked at the shop since she was a young girl. It was there that Toni met Doug Charles, while in high school. They’ve been married for 38 years. “He was working (there) after school,” Irene explained. “Doug went to school in White Rock and at that time, we lived in North Surrey, and that’s where Toni went to school.” Decades later, Penguin is now where Toni’s sons, Ryan and Brody, work – in the Langley

t’s long been a family affair at Penguin Meats in White Rock. Run by four generations of the Michaluk family, Penguin Meats was first established by brothers Vic and Walt Michaluk and father Terry in October 1964 in Whalley, before moving to White Rock, at 1554 Johnston Rd., where it has flourished over the years. This Saturday, the store will mark 50 years with a celebration at the retail store recognizing their longstanding staff and loyal customers.

warehouse and the retail office, respectively. The meat shop had humble beginnings, Vic said, when it was just himself, his father and his brother running a country grocery store or milking cows on the family farm where Nicowynd Golf Course is now located. “My dad bought the farm because the Korean War had just started up, and if the Korean War was anything like Second World War or the First World War was – because he was in both – he knew the only people who had everything they needed was farmers,” he said. “The only thing

they needed was sugar and coffee, the rest they had. And the sugar was used to make moonshine – very important stuff.” Buying milking cows, however, was expensive in 1952, with one cow costing upwards of $700. Then, when they became too old to milk, the cows were sold for a fraction of that amount. “So (my dad) said, ‘well, I know I can make better if I can make it into a sausage,’ so he bought a meat shop,” Vic laughed. “It was difficult at that time, because we were on a shoestring. “He had a number of businesses, but his passion was food from the

old country – Ukraine. A lot of the things they used to do over there, they brought with him.” Soon, Vic’s father was introduced to two brothers who ran Penguin Delivery, and seeing the potential, invested. However, a series of events led to Vic’s father breaking off the partnership. “So he told them to pay him back or he’d take the property, and he ended up with the property, which he sold to Safeway (in Whalley),” Vic said. During that transition, Vic continued to work as a pedali see page 12

Thankful for the support i from page 11 truck driver for Penguin Delivery, until his father approached him with a new offer. After acquiring a property in White Rock through a business transaction, he was hoping to open a meat shop across the street where cement bricks were being put up, and he wanted his sons to run it with him. “I said, well, we’re doing quite well, I don’t think I want to do something like that,” Vic said. “But then he asked, what would happen if I broke my leg? Would Irene go out and look after the customers?” “I might have,” Irene laughed. And with that, Penguin Meats was established on what was then King George Highway. In 1972, Vic bought out his brother, and a year later, his father. “But (dad) still hung around. On the weekend he was the collector, ‘til the day he passed away in 1983,” Toni said. “He was actually looking at another meat-delivery endeavour,” Vic added, laughing.

Over the decades, while food trends have changed, the team at Penguin Meats has stayed the same for the most part, with staffers spending decades serving customers or working in the warehouse. “We’ve had our ups and downs with the economy, but we still persevered,” Irene said. “I keep preaching to my grandchildren, people need to eat. If you look after them, they’ll always come back,” Vic added. Taking care of their customers has extended to caring for their community, with Irene noting that many times staff have played the role of directory when the phone rings with inquiries about nearby shops. “They may not know the name of the store, but they know we’ll know,” Irene laughed. The family also supports local sports, including minor baseball and minor hockey, as well as the Surrey Eagles. “We do what we can. And we want to thank everyone in the community for supporting us,” Irene said.

100 New Trees In The City At the City of White Rock, we know how important trees are to a healthy neighborhood. This autumn, the City of White Rock will be planting 100 trees at a variety of City locations. Tree varieties include Magnolias, Paper bark maples and Japanese snowdrops. Tree varieties and placement were chosen so tree growth would not conﬂict with overhead utility wires, underground services or sightlines. The City will water the new trees. For a full list of tree varieties and locations, please visit the City website: www.whiterockcity.ca

Dose

Save on most programs, workshops and day trips. Pharmacist Brandie Mabee

Brace yourselves - the cold & flu season is coming! Zinc is an important player in immune function - even a slight deficiency can weaken the immune system. People at risk of zinc inadequacy include vegetarians, pregnant women, and those with gastrointestinal diseases, including chronic diarrhea. The body does not store excess zinc, so daily supplementation is a good idea for everyone. Other conditions which have been treated with zinc supplementation include wound healing, acne, and sense of taste and smell. Start ramping up your immune defense now and avoid spending your weekend at the walk-in clinic!

The 2014 Vintage Affair event featured a slew of entertainment for the hundreds who attended Oct. 23.

Vintage Affair raises funds for community organizations

Local groups receive boost Hundreds of Semiahmoo Peninsula residents enjoyed wine and fashion at the annual Vintage Affair last Thursday. Net proceeds from the Oct. 23 gala were estimated at $56,000, however, organizers told Peace Arch News that the total may be closer to $70,000 once numbers had been tallied.

Funds raised by the event will go to South Surrey and White Rock families in need through initiatives, including organized youth sports programs for low-income families co-ordinated by KidSport Surrey, rec and leisure programs for people with developmental disabilities at Semiahmoo House Society and through Sources

Food Bank Resource Centre. Representatives from each of the three charities were introduced and spoke about their charity or non-profit association. Held in all three main rooms at Hazelmere Golf Course, the event included wine tasting, a fashion show, food, music and entertainment.

• Rail Safety • EPCOR Purchase • OCP Review I believe in: accountability and common sense, maintaining the unique character of White Rock, minimizing taxes and controlling spending, preserving the single family zones, purchasing EPCOR, removing rail traffic from the waterfront, maintaining our fire and police services, making the arts an economic generator, and supporting local business. If elected I want to continue the programs we have started regarding community pride and celebrate public art, beautification of the city and of the waterfront infrastructure upgrades, community safety and the Official Community Plan neighborhood reviews.

With over 30 years of railway experience, has the insight and expertise to best begin to address the problem through respectful, meaningful dialogue with all stakeholders. Taxes are too high and disproportionate for our size; we need to control spending and focus on priorities for citizens.

Petrala, Pattie

We have an upcoming review of the Official Community Plan, during which we need to ensure and encourage consultation and involvement from every corner of the city, and from as many people as possible. Our rate of growth has been slow, and that’s fine; we don’t need rapid growth like some cities. However, we need new developments to be of the highest quality. Anything less won’t be considered. White Rock has a highly desired quality of life, and is an extremely safe city; I will work my hardest so that it stays one of the best cities in British Columbia.

• Official Community Plan • Rail Safety • Arts Community

• Re-greening public spaces • Establish mini parks • Embrace historical past

• Controlled development • Budget, Epcor options • Update city

1. Adhering to the Official Community Plan. What part of OFFICIAL is confusing? Stop spot development. 2. Rail Safety. The adversarial tactics with BNSF and Transport Canada staged by the present council have done nothing but harm for our community. It is time to work with, not against BNSF and Transport Canada. Failure to do so will not benefit the residents of White Rock. 3. Let’s stop talking about being an “arts community” and start creating an arts community. Our commercial base is shrinking daily we need a plan to attract visitors to White Rock. We deserve better.

Van Zanten, Cary

Like a lot of people, I love to walk. Conversation is my passion and I like to stop and talk and listen to what people have to say about any subject. Let’s recapture some old fashioned charm in our communities and create spaces for people to engage. I keep hearing how people are fed up with monster homes and how total lot clearances of all side yard greenery and buffer zones are ruining simple backyard pleasures and neighbourhood character. I want to be a part of a process which engages the public vision going forward into the next 20 years.

I’m bringing years of successful business leadership from a company’s owner/ president’s perspective with national and international government and not-for-profit knowledge and experiences. Income comes from development however that development must be diligently controlled. Budgets to be carefully monitored to meet the five year plan. Options for the city to purchase Epcor. Emergency fund review. Our amazing city needs a business and community green space facelift both on Johnston and Marine, this will result in a lifestyle benefit for the community and tourism. Health, fitness and family are key qualities of life, highlights White Rock needs to market.

To continue to represent the community’s best interests in all that I do. To continue my duties as city councillor. I believe we can improve our city together. To enrich the livability of White Rock for present and future generations. To plan the City of White Rock in consultation with our residents not developers. To continue to be an independent voice at the council table representing you the residents. I am proud to say I have never taken any money from developers to finance my election campaign now and in past elections. www.helenfathers.com

Campbell, Al*

Every citizen is entitled to the White Rock way of life. They are entitled to clean air, clean water, room to breathe. With almost 20,000 residents in 2 square miles, who needs more densification? City business should be open, not behind closed doors. My previous council experience and business expertise generate intelligent and common sense solutions. My overriding objective: whatever is necessary for the citizens to take back the way of life we all dreamed about : the reason we moved here. Don’t just hope for the White Rock way of life - vote for one. Vote for Margaret Woods.

Many B.C. and Canada issues face us every day but are beyond our control. My focus is on 5 sq. km. of city that we call home. We have the ability to make sure the city is the very best that it can be. Safe and convenient to drive, walk, park, shop, eat and rest. In order to keep these values we need to encourage the right development in the right place that fits our needs without leaving a negative impact on existing citizens and businesses. Some increased costs are inevitable but let’s make sure we are getting good value for those increased costs.

Hornak, Mike

I will listen to the public and ensure openness and transparency at city hall, not making significant decisions without first engaging the public on matters such as Johnston Road and the Official Community Plan. As a director of Semiahmoo Arts I am a strong supporter of arts and culture as part of a healthy community and a key ingredient of our economic prosperity through cultural tourism. I am a proud supporter of the 92-bed expansion of the Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care. This means seniors can remain in their community, near their families, and it brings jobs to our community.

Candidates – listed in ballot order – were asked to provide their occupation and top three issues (up to three words each) and platform (up to 100 words).

My reason for running is to engage the community for OUR future. With your support I will endeavour to hear all sides and work towards a solution where all can see benefit and satisfaction. What do you want to see stay the same, and what would you like to see different?

White Rock is a great seaside community but residents and business owners need certainty on its future direction. Lack of a clear vision is no longer acceptable. A high quality of life means protecting our waterfront from higher tide levels, lobbying for funding to expand the services of Peace Arch Hospital to meet rapid population growth and servicing our aging population, being fiscally responsible and expenditures prioritized so that taxpayers receive the highest value for each tax dollar spent. If elected, I will ensure that a full community consultation process occurs in the updating of our Official Community Plan.

REMEMBRANCE DAY ... LEST WE FORGET Tuesday, November 11th, 2014

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians are asked to pause and remember the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives fighting for freedom and democracy during the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Afghanistan conflict and during peacekeeping missions.

nswer: Notice must be given to all next-of-kin who would receive part of his estate if his will was void. You may have very good reason to think that his will is valid, but an opposite opinion might be held by his brothers and sisters, children of predeceased brothers and sisters and even children of predeceased nieces and nephews or even more distant relatives. They must be given the opportunity to contest the will and notice is mandatory or probate will not be granted.

uestion: My 86 year old bachelor uncle died childless and willed his estate to me. He was born into a large family and some of his eight siblings have died leaving many children, and even some of those have died leaving children. The lawyer helping me probate my uncle’s will has asked me to get the names and addresses of all my uncle’s brothers and sisters, if they are alive, and the names of the children of his pre-deceased brothers and sisters, and if any of these nieces and nephews have died, the names and addresses of their children. Why is this necessary? It seems like overkill to me.

First Capital Chorus to perform this weekend

Shows to remember

...a special kind of caring

Alex Browne

National Seniors Day

Arts Reporter

The time of reflection on the service of veterans begins early on the Semiahmoo Peninsula this year, with First Capital Chorus’ annual Remembrance & Variety Show scheduled for two performances on Nov. 1 (2 p.m. and 7 p.m.) at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, 12953 20 Ave. This year’s show marks two momentous dates – the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Europe that turned the tide of the Second World War, and the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. “That’s the theme the two directors, Danny Tryon and Mike Wilcox and I have gone for this year,” said First Capital Chorus president Gord Harris, whose own Syncromesh quartet will be one of the featured acts, along with the Mixed Company quartet. “We have war songs from both World War One and World War Two in the first half – and some of us will have khaki on – while in the second half of the show, which is the variety part, we’ll be going a little more modern and up-to-date.” The Langley-based chorus draws many of its members from White Rock and South Surrey as well – and

And anyone who has seen and enjoyed the chorus’ shows knows that, in addition to the straight-fromthe-heart singing of the members, and the showmanship with which they present their skilled blend of vocal harmony, entertainment value is always enhanced by special guests. The 2014 show is no exception, featuring the popular retro-oriented Company B Jazz Band, a young Vancouver-based group that lovingly evokes memories of such classic close-harmony groups of the 1930s and 1940s as the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters.

WANTED SENIOR ADULTS With little or no musical experience. Learn to play the piano/keyboard the EZ way.

Variety of music to be played i from page 29 Lyall, with string bassist Jen Hodge, guitarist Dave Taylor and clarinetist/ saxophonist Jen Christiansen, has won rave reviews from appearances throughout B.C., Washington, Oregon and California. “They are awesome,” said Harris. “And they’re going to be in both halves of the show – a 15-minute segment in the first and a 20-minute segment in the second.” Remembrance is not simply about solemnity, Harris said. “The show is all about remembering the good times as well as the bad times,” he added. Harris, as MC, will link chorus numbers with a script specially written by Tryon to highlight the significance of each song.

From wartime tunes like (There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover, Sentimental Journey and We’ll Meet Again to upbeat variety numbers like What A Day For A Daydream, Who Will Buy?, It’s A Good Day and What A Wonderful World, it’s a show guaranteed to be rich in both memories and melody. The bottom line, Harris says, is that it’s a show that will appeal to audience members of all ages – people who love a-cappella singing – and appreciate “music of the kind that can be understood, with the kind of lyrics that are heartfelt.” Tickets ($20, seniors and students, $15) are available from Keith Ridge Men’s Wear, Pelican Rouge Cafe, Ocean Park Pizza and Village Pub, or at the door.

Earl Marriott Mariner running back Nathan Brown cuts upfield with the ball during his team’s 35-6 victory over the Eric Hamber Griffons in senior AA Tier 2 football league action Friday afternoon. Brown had one touchdown in the win, as did Patrick Grabowski, while quarterback Chris Ridley led the way with a pair of touchdown runs.

Senior football squad wins fourth straight game

Tweedsmuir Panthers on rise Rick Kupchuk Black Press

With a win streak now at four games, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers keep climbing the ladder in Senior AAA high school football’s Eastern Conference. The Cloverdale team traveled to Kelowna last Friday night and defeated the Mt. Boucherie Bears 28-18 to improve to 4-1 (won-lost) and remain on contention for second place in their eight-team group. “While we were never losing, we were never comfortable and had to continue to play hard to the end to seal the win and a playoff berth,” said Panthers head coach Kurt Thornton of the win over a 3-3 Bears team. “Boucherie battled back hard in the fourth quarter and pulled within 10 points twice.” Caleb Abraham rushed for all four touchdowns on runs of three, five, seven and 27

yards, finishing with 132 yards on 19 carries. He was also a leader on defense with 13 tackles and a forced fumble. Colton Zayshley carried the ball 12 times for 116 yards, and kicker Cam Sparkes was good on all four convert attempts. Another defensive standout was Hayden Hamilton with 10 tackles and a pair of quarterback sacks. “Boucherie played tough, physical football and they forced four turnovers,” said Thornton. “We had 10 possessions and scored four touchdowns. (But we also) punted twice, fumbled twice, and threw two picks.” Still, the Panthers are in third place, and with a win at home Friday over the 5-1 St. Thomas More Knights will clinch second place and a bye through to the quarterfinals of the provincial playoffs. “It is the last home game for our Grade 12s

and when that is combined with playing a top rival, it should be a recipe for a terrific football game Friday afternoon,” Thornton said. “This game will show whether or not this group belongs in the upper echelon of AAA or not.” The keys to winning, Thornton said, will be winning the turnover battle, control the clock and limit big plays from their opponents. A second-place finish would match the previous best by a Lord Tweedsmuir team at the Senior AA level, accomplished last season. “It will be an emotional game for our players and one big key will be playing with controlled emotion,” said Thornton. “I want my guys to be emotional and play with passion, but we need to funnel the emotion into hard, smart physical play in order to have a chance in this game. “I can’t wait for Friday.”

The Vancouver Giants did to the Valley West Hawks what they’ve been doing to all BC Major Midget League opposition this season – handed them a pair of losses. The Hawks, riding a six-game win streak, lost to the Giants 6-5 Saturday morning at the Langley Events Centre and 5-2 Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club. Valley West fell into fourth place in the elite league for 15-17 year olds with a 6-4-0 (won-lost-tied) record, while the Giants climbed into first place at a perfect 10-0-0. “At the end of the day, the results you saw were very much the product of an older, experienced lineup finding a way to win early in the season over a team with a younger makeup,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “Ultimately the Giants capitalized on more of our mistakes than we did on theirs.” Valley West was three minutes away from becoming the first MML team to take a point from the Giants. In Saturday’s game, Vancouver broke a 5-5 tie late in the game after the Hawks had rallied from two goals down to pull even. Christian Bosa of Langley with his second goal of the game and Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Jeffrey Stewart tallied early in the third period to erase a 5-3 Giants lead. Semiahmoo’s Logan Webber and James Malm of Langley also scored for the Hawks. i see page 33

Soccer teams narrowly miss podium at provincials

Kwantlen settles for fourth Rick Kupchuk Black Press

A bronze medal at the PACWEST soccer championships eluded Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) twice last weekend in Squamish. The KPU Eagles women’s team fell 2-1 on penalties Saturday evening to the Douglas College Royals, then the men were upset 2-0 by the Quest Kermodes Sunday morning. The results left both Kwantlen teams in fourth place at the provincial tournament, a positive result that fell just short of the podium. “I think they’ve shown PACWEST (Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference) that we mean business,” said KPU women’s head coach Julie King. “This season was about ‘Can we learn to work together and can we play with heart?’ We achieved that. Team

progression, we’ve done well. We’ve seen people step up, seen ladies become better footballers on the field.” King was one of two members of the women’s team honoured with PACWEST postseason awards. She was named Coach of the Year, while defender Jessica Anderegg of Surrey was named to the allstar team. KPU began the tournament Friday night with a 1-0 loss in extra time to the first-place Vancouver Island Mariners. Panorama Ridge Secondary graduate Gurneet Josan was the Eagles Player of the Match. In the bronze-medal game Saturday, KPU trailed 1-0 until Megan Talaber of North Delta scored with less than 10 minutes remaining. The Royals prevailed 4-3 in the shootout, and Talaber collected Player of the Match

honours. The Eagles men’s team, which finished third in league play, also went to extra time in their semifinal match Saturday morning, but lost 2-0 to Douglas. Seaquam Secondary graduate Jacob Starheim was Player of the Match for KPU. Kwantlen was blanked again Sunday, with Justin Turner-Pearce of the Eagles named Player of the Match. “Big progress was made from last season. We built on what we started in terms of building the culture we want around the team and putting focus on creating a cohesive and hard-working unit,” said head coach Srdjan Djekanovic. “We are rewriting the script on what KPUstyle soccer should be.” Two members of the Eagles – Starheim, a forward, and defender Nawaf Binsaleh – were named to the men’s all-star team.

They were up 2-0 when White Rock’s Matt Barberis got the Hawks on the scoreboard. And Vancouver led 4-1 before Justin De Vos of Surrey netted his firstever MML goal with two minutes to play. “Sunday was another tough one,” said Leung. “We had a hard time getting anything going offensively.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony). Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger. Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

Heading out on ‘Altimate’ trip

Buying a used vehicle?

AskWalt p

Driving all 3,945 kilometres of the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica has always been on my bucket list. However, I’m hoping that after enduring a week on that often rocky and rough road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-beforeI-die list!

Porte offering a great opportunity at The Maxx @ Verve By Kerry Vital

Porte Development is offering maximum value at The Maxx @ Verve in Surrey. The third and final phase of the popular condominium community includes the finishes from the first and second phases, Verve and Social @ Verve. “This is a great opportunity for buyers,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “We’ve had a lot of first-time buyers interested in Verve.” To help those first-time buyers, Porte is once again offering

their popular flexible deposit program at The Maxx @ Verve. “It gives buyers the chance to build their downpayment as we build their home,” Chaput says. The homes at The Maxx range from 540 to 1,300 square feet, in a variety of junior one-bedroom, one-, two- and threebedroom plans. The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, accented by large windows and laminate flooring. The kitchens feature full-size stainless-steel appliances,

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

polished quartz countertops and under-cabinet valence lighting. The high-gloss upper cabinetry is complemented by warm wood lowers, and each floorplan includes some unique features such as wine racks, pantries or built-in work stations. Ensuite bathrooms feature custom-designed vanities with polished quartz countertops, undermount sinks and vanity drawers, complemented by porcelain tile floors. The squareprofile deep soaker tub is lit by recessed lighting. Most twobedroom homes include oversized shower stalls with semiframeless glass doors. “Our location is the best,” Chaput says. “We’re just a sixminute walk from King George SkyTrain station and 13 minutes to Central City mall.” Verve is very close to dining, leisure and recreation opportunities as well as the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University, Surrey City Hall and the City Centre library. Homes start at $169,900. For more information, visit www. porte.ca/verve, call 604-588-3783 or stop by the presentation centre at 13931 Fraser Highway, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

The parkhomes at The Grove in Clayton Heights are spacious and elegant, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and wood laminate cabinetry. Residents will have access to The Grove Clubhouse, with its 4,300 square feet of amenity space.

Putting down roots in The Grove By Kerry Vital

Surrey’s Clayton Heights has become a vibrant community with plenty of amenities and beautiful homes. Now, it’s welcoming Townline’s The Grove to the neighbourhood, adding more than a touch of green to the area and giving families the chance to put down roots. “It’s nestled in a family friendly area,” says Courtney Osinchuk, marketing manager for Townline. “There’s a new elementary school right across the street. You can literally watch your kids walk to school.” Green space is an integral part of The Grove, with its centrally located grove, parks on two sides and greenbelts on the other two sides. There is plenty of curb appeal at The Grove, with its Craftsman contemporary architecture and professionally landscaped front and rear yards. Each home includes a single, tandem or double-car garage. Inside, the two-, three- and four-bedroom

parkhomes are available in a range of floorplans. Rich wood laminate flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, with nylon carpeting in the bedrooms, hallways and stairs. The kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances and square edge flat panel wood laminate cabinetry, complemented by eased square edge quartz countertops and a full height oversized ceramic tile backsplash. The bathrooms are elegant and relaxing, with their own square edge flat panel wood laminate cabinetry, eased square edge quartz countertops and a quartz backsplash. The ensuite takes the luxury further with a handlaid porcelain floor tile and shower surround. The main bathroom features a deep soaker tub with a chrome rain showerhead and large format ceramic tile surround. “There has been a great response so far,” says Osinchuk. “Every time we release a phase, it sells quickly.” Townline is currently selling the fifth of six phases. “We have a few homes that are available for immediate occupancy, with the others being ready in the next two to three months, depending on the phase,” Osinchuk says. “We’ve concentrated on maximizing functionality in the layouts of these homes. For example, we added in workstations (in the kitchens) in the homes that do not have dens, so kids can do their homework or you can pay your bills or work on your computer.

People like the added functionality of that.” Townline’s reputation for quality has been a big draw for buyers. “We are established in the community,” Osinchuk says, noting that The Grove is their sixth project in the area, joining Canterbury Ridge, Clayton Rise, Compass, Heritance and Clayton Village. Residents at The Grove will have access to The Grove Clubhouse, a 4,300-square-foot amenities space with an indoor floor hockey court, custom theatre screening room, fitness room, fireside social lounge with kitchenette

and a terrace with a barbecue and lounge seating. They will also have unlimited access to the neighbouring Clayton Rise Clubhouse with its additional 4,800 square feet of amenities and outdoor pool. The Grove is moments from Clayton Crossing and Willowbrook Mall, as well as Highway 1 for an easy commute, and plenty of leisure and recreation opportunities in the area, making it appealing to buyers of all ages. “There’s really a nice community here,” says Osinchuk. “There’s something for everyone.” Homes at The Grove start at $269,900. For more information, visit www. thegroveatclayton.ca, call 604-533-6968 or stop by the sales centre at 1-19433 68th Avenue, Surrey.

Q. Could You Give Me A Few Tips For Selling My Home Fast and For Top Dollar? A. Ifdifference youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking of selling your home, how you â&#x20AC;&#x153;positionâ&#x20AC;? it can mean the between getting a fast, top dollar sale, and having it sit on the market â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

for a long time. First impressions are lasting. Look at your home as if you were driving up to it for the ďŹ rst time. What does the home look like? The driveway? The lawn or landscaping? Pay particular attention to the entry walkway and the front door area. Make sure all curtains are open and lights are on. Get rid of any odors. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big turn-off. Smoking and pets are the most likely cause. Have carpets cleaned and home deodorized before showing it. A coat of paint in critical areas (kitchen, master bedroom and baths) can do wonders to change the appearance and make the home look more valuable. Get rid of that clutter! The way you live in a home, and the way you SELL a home are two different things. You have to move anyway, so pack up all your clutter and get it out of the way. An uncluttered home looks bigger and more appealing. Make your home look like a model home.
