A summer well spent At-risk youth kept busy during vacation time by Sheila Reynolds IT’S A hot afternoon in North Surrey

Enrique Quintana (left) was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a 2006 attack on Surrey teen Michael Levy that left the 18-year-old paralyzed. Quintana is now applying for early supervised release from jail.
Axe attacker ends silence Claims assault on Michael Levy was retaliation for a fight with his friend by Dan Ferguson
DURING HIS trial for a brutal axe attack that permanently paralyzed a Surrey teen, Enrique Quintana refused to admit his guilt or explain the reasons for the attack. The assault during an October 2006 youth dance at Tynehead Community Hall left Michael Levy confined to a wheelchair with limited upper body mobility. Even after he was convicted for aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose in 2008, Quintana had nothing to say. He refused an offer to make a statement
before he was sentenced, telling a puzzled Surrey Provincial Court judge that “I would like to speak after I’m sentenced to avoid any confusion that I may be trying to get a lighter sentence.” But he never did. He said nothing on the day he was handed a 10-year-sentence, and he said nothing during the appeal that saw his conviction upheld, though his sentence was reduced by seven months. But now, the 21-year-old Quintana is trying to win early supervised release from an adult medium-security prison, and he is finally talking about his actions.
Quintana claims that two months before the dance, Levy got into a fight with a friend of his. At the dance, when someone pointed out the tall, powerfully built Levy to the much smaller Quintana, he got angry and went to his car to get a hatchet. He claimed he carried the small axe in his car for camping and insisted he only meant to use the handle of the hatchet, not the blade. Quintana admitted Levy had done nothing to provoke the attack the evening of the dance. Two other teens were convicted for participating in the swarming attack.

and Tyrone, who is nearly 12, has just finished helping water plants in the community garden and harvesting fresh vegetables to have with lunch. Last week, he picked up trash at local parks, such as Unwin, Hawthorne and Bear Creek. It’s a far cry from what he was up to during summer vacation last year. “It was pretty much trouble was all I was doing,” Tyrone admits, grinning guiltily at his buddy, who agrees they were usually causing havoc somewhere to entertain themselves. Tyrone (not his real name) is part of the Wraparound Surrey Project (Wrap), an initiative targeting kids and youth at risk of joining gangs or who are already engaged in gangrelated activity. The project, a partnership between the Surrey School District, Surrey RCMP, Integrated Tyrone Task Force of B.C. and several service organizations, takes a multi-faceted approach, involving family, friends, the school and community to provide a network of support and encouragement for students. While the program’s participants would usually only attend during the school year, many Wrap youth are staying involved over July and August. See YOUTH / Page 3

Surrey piano prodigy to study in U.S.

Children’s ministry approves foster child’s trip by Sheila Reynolds
FRANKIE BONES, a gifted musician who was initially denied the opportunity to travel to the U.S. to study piano, is now allowed to go. The Ministry of Children and Family Development emailed The Leader Friday afternoon saying that although it cannot comment on the specifics of the case, “we can confirm the ministry has now been able to approve a plan whereby the youth can attend school in Washington State.” A spokesman said the issue was never about holding the boy back, but ensuring, as any prudent parent would, that all the necessary supports and Frankie Bones safeguards were in place. A professor at Walla Walla University, after hearing 18-year-old Frankie play last fall, had said he was interested in developing the teen’s talent while he finished his final year of high school at nearby Walla Walla Valley Academy. Money has been raised to cover Frankie’s tuition and host families have offered to care for him. However, because he’s in foster care, the ministry is technically his legal guardian until he is 19. Ministry staff had initially told Frankie’s foster family he didn’t have permission to go. A Facebook page set up to support Frankie noted Friday the family had gone to Washington to attend the university’s orientation day. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

“If we don’t make the kids aware, there’s going to be a huge problem.”
Youth: ‘The idea is to keep them busy’ From Page 1 Thanks to funding from the Community-University Research Alliance (CURA) at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, youth workers with the Surrey RCMP and school district have been able to stay connected with the kids for the summer and keep them occupied. Teens from 11 to 16 have been spending their days both volunteering and getting paid work experience in the community, doing everything from tending to the community garden and picking up garbage, to cleaning rabbit hutches and horse stables at the SPCA. In between, they burn energy playing soccer, bocce
ball, football or going camping. “The idea is to keep them busy,” says Surrey RCMP Const. John Wilson. “When they’re not doing work experience, they’re involved in recreational activities.” Keeping youth engaged and providing a means of legitimate income is key, agrees Rob Rai, assistant manger, safe schools for the Surrey School District. “By the time the kids are done with us, they’re exhausted, want to go home and they have to get up early the next day.” And instead of the youth heading into the weekend with a pocketful of cash, Coast Capital Savings Credit
Union has come on board, setting up bank accounts for the students and their parents. If the community garden plot produces a lot of vegetables, the youth will donate it to students who might not have enough food at home, or to the food bank. While the tomatoes and lettuce are coming along nicely, some potatoes were stolen from the garden last week. “It was neat to see the kids had a lot of pride and were upset that someone would come in and take from them,” Rai said, adding it also provided a good lesson on how theft impacts the community.

and Robert Alexander Green hit Levy with a bottle. Both were given shorter jail terms than Quintana, who sprayed Levy with bear spray and hit him three times in the neck, back and side with an axe, severing Levy’s spine. As Levy lay helpless and unable to move on the floor, Quintana kicked him several times. Quintana denies using bear spray or kicking Levy while he was down, a parole board hearing was told. He still believes “that violence and carrying a weapon was an appropriate manner in which to deal with interpersonal conflict,” notes a parole board written decision rejecting Quintana’s applica-
tion for an early release. Quintana has continued to downplay his involvement in the Levy attack and has been a violent and uncooperative inmate, the parole board was told. Among other things, Quintana participated in a swarming attack that sent another inmate to an outside medical facility in May of 2008; was placed in solitary confinement for being disruptive in February of 2009; and was busted with drug paraphernalia in August of 2009. A psychologist has rated him “at least a moderate risk for violent recidivism” due to “emotional instability” coupled with his refusal to accept full responsibility for his actions. dferguson@surreyleader.com

prompted by a dip in the economy had left Oliver struggling to pay rent and utility bills. After word of the plight got out, donations totalling around $10,000 poured in. The move to South Surrey not only gives Cinemazoo an additional 2,000 square feet (up from the 4,500 square feet the animals occupied in North Surrey), but it shaves a considerable chunk off the tab for rent – money Oliver says will benefit the animals. He’s determined to have Cinemazoo up and running next month, and is anxious to continue its educational component. Oliver estimates the agency’s conservation presentations reach about 45,000 children annually. He also shares information on the animals at seniors centres, hospitals and other community locations. Educating youngsters on the animals is the best way to ensure the creatures’ future, OIiver said. “If we don’t make the kids aware, there’s going to be a huge problem.” Oliver described the move to South Surrey as “a stepping stone to what we really want.” The goal is to create a state-of-the-art education and ecology centre, a project that would require a much larger property to bring to fruition, he said. That goal is still years away, however. Until then, “this is nice, this’ll do us for a while,” Oliver said, surveying Cinemazoo’s new home. “We’re looking forward to a lot of good things.”

Surrey wants Dinotown
FRESH SALAD GREENS HARVESTED WHILE YOU WAIT.
City negotiating to move theme park from Chilliwack by Dan Ferguson DINOTOWN COULD be coming to Surrey.
The 35-year-old theme park at Bridal Falls in Chilliwack is set to close Sept. 6, but owner Rob Ell says the City of Surrey Economic Development office has approached him about relocating the cuddly dinosaurs, cartoon-like vehicles and games. “We have multiple locations that we’re looking at,” Ell said Monday. “Surrey is one of them.” He said he has also been approached by private developers in South Surrey, the Aldergrove Zoo, the City of Burnaby and the “largest Ostrich farm in China.” There were discussions with the PNE in Vancouver, but they didn’t pan out, Ell said. He said it will be “at least six months” before he makes a decision, In the meantime, all of the theme park property will be put in storage. Billed as “North America’s only cartoon
LIVINGSTONE
dinosaur town,” Dinotown is located just off Highway 1 near Bridal Falls. Ell sold his dinosaur adventure land to Tri-R Development Group in Chilliwack, which plans to develop an RV park on the 18-acre property. Dinotown was originally launched as Bedrock City in 1975 by Ell’s dad Bob. It was a theme park that featured buildings and characters from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon television series The Flintstones. It was one of just four such parks in North America. The elder Ell built stone pedal cars and flatrock buildings and dino-cranes with tails to slide down, just like Fred Flintstone had. He built bumper cars and paddy wagons and pedal boats too. But in 1994, after Hanna-Barbera was sold to Warner Brothers, the owners of the Flinstones likenesses cancelled the contract. The revised Dinotown, featuring a family of hip dinosaurs, opened in 1995.

TAMIL MIGRANTS
A strange anger arises
RAESIDE
I
n a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per cent of residents are first- and second-generation immigrants, it’s difficult to comprehend the vitriolic – and inaccurate – comments being said about the Tamil migrants now in our midst. Eariler this month, 492 people from Sri Lanka arrived off the coast of B.C. aboard the MV Sun Sea. A recent Angus Reid Poll reported that 83 per cent of Canadians were upset that the Tamil migrants jumped the immigration queue; 63 per cent wanted Canada to turn the MV Sun Sea away; and just 35 per cent would allow the Tamil migrants to claim refugee status. First off, there has been no “queue-jumping.” Refugees, unlike immigrants, can claim status at any point of entry in Canada – including airports, the U.S.-Canada border, or in the Tamils’ case, in Canadian waters – at any time and without advance notice. Queues are in place for would-be Canadians abroad (ie. skilled workers or investors) who are in safe enough situations to be able to fill out forms and send in applications. Refugees are fleeing desperate conditions that put the lives of themselves and their families at risk. As for turning the boat away, do we really want to go there again? In May 1914, 376 people from India aboard the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver. After much public outcry and political opposition, the Royal Canadian Navy forced the vessel from the harbour, and following four miserable months at sea, 20 passengers were killed and nine wounded in an altercation when the ship arrived back in Calcutta. Two years ago this month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper – speaking to a crowd of approximately 8,000 people in Bear Creek Park – apologized for the Komagata Maru incident. Are the Tamils somehow deserving of different treatment? Currently incarcerated, their backgrounds will be investigated – including allegations of terrorist links and people-smuggling activity. Canada is not awash in refugees, accepting less than 20,000 annually. Meanwhile, 20 million people displaced from their homes around the world are taken in by poverty-stricken countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. With all of our wealth, Canada accepts less than 0.01 per cent of global refugees. As for “allowing” the migrants to claim refugee status, as a signatory to several international agreements, Canada has a legal – if not moral – obligation to review all refugee claims. In 1994, wrestler Daniel Igali – in Victoria to compete in the Commonwealth Games – skipped his return flight home and applied for refugee status in a bid to escape poverty and unrest in his native Nigeria. He of course went on to become a Surrey-based hero who won Olympic gold in 2000. He later built a school in Nigeria to help fellow countrymen struggling as he once did. Who among the Tamils could be the next Daniel Igali? More importantly, who are we to deny them the opportunity based on misinformation and a disturbing (considering our successful pluralism) animosity towards outsiders?

The federal legislation to collect the tax would remain. “Whether that will lead to … the extinguishment of the HST in British Columbia remains to be seen,” Bauman wrote. The petition was formally sent to the legislature on Monday and the standing committee must convene its first meeting in September.

Liberal majority on the committee to push through amendments, such as raising taxes to repay the $1.6 billion federal fund. Then we might find out where the NDP actually stands on this thing.

LETTER WRITER Mike Schouten needs to knock it off with the abortion debate. We as free women of Canada have the right to choose what happens in our wombs. That said, I must say that while I have never had and never will have an abortion, I support women’s right to choose one if they want it (except for use as birth control due to being too lazy to protect yourself). And I believe that to tamper with a woman’s right to choose is not as bad as knowing that you only care for the unborn baby and don’t give a rat’s tail after they’ve been born. I would rather a child be aborted than live a life without the love of a mother because she didn’t have a choice.
us believe (“Time to re-open the abortion debate,” Leader Letters, Aug. 18), the majority of Canadians are not in favour of heating up this debate again. I don’t know who was polled in the poll he mentions, but consistently, since 2001, the majority has disagreed. A National Post survey in 2003 resulted in 78 per cent saying “women should have complete freedom on their decision to have an abortion.” A Gallup Canada poll in 2004 resulted in 54 per cent saying abortion is “morally
acceptable.” A Gallup Canada poll in 2005 resulted in 52 per cent saying Canada’s abortion laws should “remain the same,” while a further 20 per cent said the laws should be “less strict.” An Angus Reid poll in 2008 resulted in 46 per cent saying abortions should be permitted in all cases, while only 19 per cent said the laws should be stricter. An EKOS poll in March 2010 resulted in 52 per cent describing themselves as prochoice. Mr. Schouten, for most Canadians, this just is not a burning issue. It was debated at

Why are we indifferent to some people’s suffering?
Elizabeth MacDonald, Surrey
WHILE MY mailbox, and even under my apartment’s and my mother’s condo’s doors – and likely those of many other multi-unit residences – is inundated with gratuitous, commercial crap, it’s unbelievable that truly useful, and perhaps even life-saving, necessary information such as the recent coliform bacteria contamination of White Rock and a few South Surrey locations’ drinking water can be kept to a minimum. I could not find anything on the matter on TV, and only 1130 AM offered any occasional insight. I had already drunken a cup full of raw water by late Saturday (Aug. 21) before my mother received a warning from a condo neighbour. Although a single notice was posted at both locations, why not – especially in regards to health matters – give each apartment and condo unit its own informative notice under the door? What’s quite worrisome is that if there’s a considerable deterioration in the quality and consumptionsafety of our drinking water, will there be a repeat of the Walkerton, Ontario tragedy?
length in the 1960s. We do not want or need to return to the dark ages of back alley abortions which killed many. Abortion is a women’s health issue and nobody has the right to impose their beliefs on another. I find it very interesting that many of the vocal anti-abortion voices we hear are male. Until you can walk in the shoes of a woman who is struggling/agonizing over this decision, I’m afraid you have no credibility.

A letter writer wonders why the victims of some disasters – such as residents of earthquake-ravaged Haiti – illicit compassion from Canadians, while others, like the Tamil refugees, draw criticism.
Suites: Clash of values THE RECENT proposal to legalize
suites in Surrey has yet again earned its share of criticism in the public. For me, the concern is not so much city responsibility, instead it is the continuous barrage of letters that attack the people residing in these homes. If they are collecting rent to help pay for the mortgage, good for them. People worried about paying too much tax on behalf of these basement suites should either find another city that enforces their need for three people per house or put them-
selves in a similar situation to take advantage of the mortgage helper, while helping the community with affordable housing. Even if the suites are regulated, many people will still be upset because it doesn’t solve their own concerns of having a certain group of people live by their own values. To me this is more than an issue of increased crime, traffic, etc., it is a clash between two different value systems in a society hiding behind the veil of superficial tolerance.
GIVE US an earthquake in Haiti, a tsunami in Thailand or a terror attack in Kenya, and we can show the world what we are capable of. However, with a ship carrying Tamil refugees seeking asylum and immigration, we see the ugly side of this country, with harsh words and criticism. Compassion goes AWOL. In Haiti many Canadians, whether directly involved on the ground there or fundraising at home, stepped up to truly do a wonderful job, including the rescuers searching for survivors and the physicians saving lives. Haitian-born Governor General Michaëlle Jean became the face of Canadian compassion, showing the entire international community Canada’s good side. But the remarkable identification with the victims of the terrible tragedy in distant Haiti only underscores the indifference to the ongoing suffering of the people elsewhere. Who cares that the men, women and
children were fleeing mass murders, disappearances and extortion in Sri Lanka? How many Canadians know that half of all people around the world are dependent on charity, and that our participation in military operations created hundreds of amputees? The Canadian newspaper reader knows about the baby pulled from the wreckage in Port-au-Prince. Few have heard about the infants who sleep in the ruins of their families’ homes in Gaza. We take for granted, if not abuse, rights and freedoms when we apply them selectively to individuals other than ourselves. We have our PM calling for more prisons, but is oblivious to the world’s largest prisons, like Sri Lanka and Gaza, to name only two. The disaster in Haiti was a natural one; the others are the handiwork of man. Our handiwork. William Perry, Victoria
Steamed at free services for Tamils I AM quietly steaming over the latest news regarding the Tamil boat people
stating we need to hire many more lawyers to cope with the legal work. What a bonus for them at their hourly rates, all picked up by the taxpayer. We do not have enough police to take care of our crime, enough ambulances to meet our needs, enough doctors and hospital beds to care for our own sick, or enough accommodation to care for our homeless. But we can provide all of these services plus free legal aid for people who come through the back door, whom we cannot possibly hope to identify as true refugees or terrorists and who will appeal and appeal any move to deport them, which will takes years. My one thought was why stop at a roof, clothing, food, welfare and medical care? Let’s offer them the Olympic Village apartments.

Davin Locke, along with family and friends, raised more $550 in just seven days selling lemonade to support an orphanage in Haiti. The effort, called Lemonaid for Haiti, has benefited from the help of family and friends, and of course, thirsty passers-by. After surpassing their initial goal of $500, the boys will continue to sell lemonade in hopes of reaching the $750 mark. For more information, check www.lemonaid4haiti.com

Ambulance transfer delays criticized Surrey family says they have been affected by cuts by Jeff Nagel CHRISTINE STIRMAN suffers
from painful blisters and sores all over her body that her family says have worsened since the province cut the number of transfer ambulances serving the Lower Mainland. The 60-year-old Surrey grandmother of two makes frequent trips to Surrey Memorial Hospital for treatment of both Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) and a severe case of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease she contracted this summer. But she’s experienced long delays since July 1, when the provincial government removed 14 transfer ambulances from service on the expectation private contractors hired by health authorities could take over at a saving of $5.9 million. “Once they cut the transfer ambulance service, that’s when our nightmare began,” husband Wayne Mitchell said Monday. “It’s wrong. It’s dangerous. And it

Philley said most recent transfers for Stirman were on time or close to it, but added two longer delays happened when she was taken to SMH on an emergency basis. As a result, no transfer could be booked until after she was treated, and on at least one occasion that didn’t happen until late at night, after the transfer paramedics were off shift. Philley said a transfer home is a lower priority call than emergencies, so further delays can occur when someone like Stirman must take a regular ambulance home after hours. The service went from performing more than 300 interhospital transfers a day in the Lower Mainland to between 200 and 225 after July 1, he said. Philley said 82 per cent of transfers are currently done on time. jnagel@surreyleader.com

offering to certify fire extinguishers for cash. The problem is, he isn’t certified and the inspection tags or used replacement fire extinguishers he leaves behind are bogus. “It’s one of those crimes that people don’t actually know happened,” says Carrie Chattell, crime prevention program coordinator for the Surrey RCMP’s Cloverdale/Port Kells district office. “They just think they had their fire extinguisher replaced. They don’t know, unless somebody tells them, that this guy isn’t accredited.” The amount of money he asks for varies, but in one case, the fraudulent inspector walked off with approximately $500. The suspect is a greyhaired Caucasian male of medium height and weight. He drives a burgundy four-door car. In the past, a similar scam involved someone passing his business off as Paul’s Fire Protection or Metro Fire Service – but neither business is registered in the province
on his way, without falling prey to the scam. She says a neighbourhood liaison unit is investigating the scam. But the Surrey RCMP is asking local businesses to help spread the word in order to catch the culprit. People need to ask more questions. “In B.C., you need to be accredited to perform this service,” she says. Fire inspectors are licensed through the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia. Anyone operating a legitimate business will carry proper credentials. It’s a good idea to ask to see identification before agreeing to any service, Chattel says. You can check out a business or charity – or file a complaint – through the Better Business Bureau, which can be done online at http:// mbc.bbb.org Anyone who thinks they might have seen the fraud artist is asked to call the Surrey RCMP’s non-emergency line at 604-599-0502.
If an inspector calls, ask to see the proper credentials. of B.C., Chattell says. When a similar report surfaced recently, Chattell immediately sent out a warning to all the local businesses on her mailing list. The warning resulted in reports from all over Cloverdale.

munity head back to class next month with the necessary supplies. The Surrey School District has partnered with Guildford Town Centre and Staples Canada for Stuff the Bus along with support from The Surrey-North Delta Leader. “The Stuff the Bus program is a way for everyone in our community, whether as an individual, family or business to come together and do something positive for Surrey,” says Peggy White, general manager of Guildford Town Centre. “We are extremely happy to be able to help students in need.” In 2009, Stuff the Bus raised almost $22,000 in supplies and donations. “The Stuff the Bus campaign gives our disadvantaged students a better chance for success and supports families that struggle to afford all the essential school supplies,” says Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally. Until Sept. 7, the public is invited to make cash donations or drop off school supplies at Guildford Town Centre, Staples on King George Highway or Staples in South Surrey. The donations and school supplies will then be distributed by the Surrey School District to the schools and families that need them.

Judge rules it should go to the legislature by Tom Fletcher
THE PETITION to get rid of the Harmonized Sales Tax in B.C. should proceed to the legislature, the Chief Justice of the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled. Justice Robert Bauman ruled Friday that the petition should be forwarded to a legislature committee, despite arguments from a coalition of businesses that the province doesn’t have the authority to repeal a federal tax. Bauman quoted Premier Gordon Campbell’s description of the 700,000-name petition as a “victory for democracy” whose flaws can be dealt with by the legislature. It’s the first successful citizen initiative in the 20-year history of B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act, gathering support of at least 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 constituencies. Former premier Bill Vander Zalm, who headed the petition drive, said the ruling clears the way for the B.C. Liberal government to act on the petition and they should do so this fall or he
will start recall campaigns against B.C. Liberal MLAs on Nov. 15. Bauman’s ruling noted there are legal questions about the petition to remove the 12-per-cent sales tax, which is based on a five-year agreement between the federal and provincial governments that has been authorized by the House of Commons. “Whether any final piece of legislation resulting from this exercise can pass constitutional muster, is a question for another day and separate proceedings,” Bauman wrote. Provincial law now requires the petition to be forwarded to a standing committee of the legislature within 30 days. The convener and possible chair is MLA Terry Lake, and the B.C. Liberal majority membership includes MLAs Dave Hayer (Surrey-Tynehead), Eric Foster, Richard Lee, Pat Pimm, and John Slater. NDP MLAs on the committee are Mike Farnworth, Katrine Conroy, Rob Fleming and Jenny Kwan.

2 011 C O M M U N I T Y G R A N T S The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2011 financial grants from non-profit groups or organizations. What kinds of organizations are eligible? Organizations will normally be expected to: • have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership; • have stable, ongoing financial support; and • extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background. Who chooses the successful grant applications? City Council has established a Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of four city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The final decision on all grant applications is made by City Council. The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events. Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating deficits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event. When is the deadline for grant applications: All grants requests must be submitted on an official application form and received at the office of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., September 30, 2010. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting: City of Surrey, Office of the City Clerk 14245 – 56 Avenue, Surrey, B.C.

Just say NO to a cash ‘deal’
Industry leaders are concerned about how the HST will impact the underground cash economy in the home renovation market. Homeowners who think they’ll save money on a cash deal instead of hiring a reputable contractor may find out the hard way that it can cost much more. “Nobody likes to pay tax but it is just not worth it,” says GVHBA president and CEO Peter Simpson. “If somebody gets injured on the job on your property, you are responsible.” ›› p.4

First impressions are often the most important. And that doesn’t just apply to humans – homes give first impressions, too. Especially the front of the house, which is usually what passers-by see from the street. “Your front door is one of the most important features of your home,” says Walker Door and Window’s manager of business development Michelle Essery, who is also RHP, RRP and CAPS certified. “Your front Knock, knock ... door should be warm and inviting. It is the first and last thing we see when coming or going, and leave a lasting impression – good or bad.” Many materials are popular right now, and energy efficiency is also at the top of homeowners’ lists when they renovate, Essery says. The combination of wood and metal, custom glass and fibreglass are au courant among today’s clientele, while some customers have started inquiring which materials have better insulation factors, if it is eco-friendly, what the warranty covers, and if it is made locally, she adds.
It can be easy being green...

Doors: dress up your home
Give your home an eco-friendly makeover MAGGIE CALLOWAY Sam and Elizabeth FitzZaland, owners of Burrard Green City Builders Inc., make a great point when they say renovating a house is the ultimate ecological act. Instead of tearing down a house and rebuilding, renovating saves literally tons of material from the landfill – and a renovation done with sensitivity to the environment gives great satisfaction and a healthy setting for your family. Both FitzZalands agree that a renovation can be done in a green fashion which, when finished, feels like a new home. The couple always listens to their clients to find out exactly what the homeowners want to incorporate into their home, then find a way to do it with the least impact on the earth. Both also delight in educating clients about eco-friendly or sustainable building methods and products they may not know about. Elizabeth says people really want to reduce their carbon footprint these days, and are looking for ways to either produce their own energy or find as many ways as possible to cut down on consumption. Most people seem to know about solar energy, which doesn’t necessarily work for everyone, but there are also heat pumps for both heating and cooling the home that many may not know about, she says.

Renovating with nature in mind CONTINUED FROM P.1
“As part of the Olympics, there were temporary houses showcasing things like living walls and people got the idea that it is necessary to live green, but there are so many other things that can be easily incorporated (into the home),” FitzZaland says. Low-VOC paint is such an example, which she says is easy to apply and does not give off gas fumes. A wide variety of flooring made from sustainable materials is available and features long life spans, plus there are energyefficient appliances as well as low-flow or dual-flush toilets. Taking several smaller steps can add up to a significant sustainable impact, FitzZaland notes. When contracted to complete a renovation, Burrard Green City Builders looks at every part of the build. “Kitchen and bathroom countertops are a perfect example,” she says. “There are huge choices today but what should be taken into consider-

ation is how long will it last? How far are the materials being transported? What happens when the countertop is torn out? Is it biodegradable?” A great solution is concrete, she says. “(Concrete is) as equally durable as granite, and you can make them unique by incorporating other materials such as glass or aggregate, staining and polishing ... concrete is also being used more and more for flooring,” says FitzZaland. Things like insulation, windows and roofing materials can also help make a home more environmentally friendly. FitzZaland says blown-in insulation is often recommended, “because it gets into all the nooks and crannies.” But with every project, she notes, the company always finds ways to reduce waste. “There are different ways of recycling building material. One is to salvage as much as possible – maybe there are doors that don’t work in the new area but can be used in the basement,” she says. “Sometimes there are windows that won’t work in the new home but can be put aside, re-finished, and used in another job. More and more ways are being found to keep materials away from the landfill.”
Before and after photos show how Burrard Green City Builders turned this Metro Vancouver home into a spectacular masterpiece. The company uses environmentally friendly materials and practices wherever possible. “More and more ways are being found to keep materials away from the landfill,” says Elizabeth FitzZaland, who owns the company with her husband, Sam.

Cash: more harmful than helpful TRICIA LESLIE
In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. Benjamin Franklin is attributed with coining this oft-used phrase, which has likely been used a lot more throughout B.C. lately. The Harmonized Sales Tax, which combines the seven-per-cent sales tax with the five-per-cent GST (Goods and Services Tax) for a single sales tax rate of 12 per cent, came into effect July 1. The provincial government maintains the HST will be good for British Columbians and the B.C.
Surrey North Delta Leader economy, as “it’s the best thing we can do to encourage investment and jobs in our province.” Now, the new tax appears on most receipts associated with consuming goods and services, including on new homes priced above $525,000 (homes below this threshold will bear no more tax than under the PST system; homes priced higher will receive a flat rebate of $26,250, according to the government). Home renovation is another area where the HST will apply, when it comes time to pay for the goods and services involved. And that’s bad news on top of already bad news, says Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association president and CEO Peter Simpson. “It’s going to raise the cost of renovations,” he says, and notes the HST will drive more homeowners toward what may seem a cheaper alternative: the cash-only, no-paperwork deal. “The underground cash economy

was already there under the GST. Now, the HST will fuel an already burgeoning underground cash economy in home renovations.” MJ Whitemarsh, CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C., agrees, and says the HST will just make that illegal economy stronger. Home renovations generate about $7 billion in B.C., Whitemarsh says, but only about $4.5 billion of that is generated by legitimate contractors. CHBA B.C. is working on a paper that outlines the job creation and the tax dollars that home renovations generate in the province, in order to highlight the importance of the residential renovation market to all

levels of government. “Every million dollars in renovations creates 12 person years of employment,” Whitemarsh notes. “The underground cash economy stifles growth.” Both Whitemarsh and Simpson stress the need for a permanent home renovation rebate, similar to the extremely successful HRTC, or federal Home Renovation Tax Credit; both organizations are working to lobby all levels of government in order to get a permanent rebate in place. “What we need is a permanent tax credit system – similar to HRTC – in place,” Simpson says, and adds that government needs to put money into resources to actively fight the underground cash economy. “That way, homeowners get the rebate dollars back.” Whitemarsh agrees. “People love to get money back ... they loved the HRTC,” she says. “It was quite small, but people embraced that like there’s no tomorrow because they got money back from the government.” Both Whitemarsh and Simpson wonder why the government is not more interested in the billions in unremitted taxes it is not receiving, thanks to the illicit cash renovation market. In Ontario in 2001, the Ontario Construction Secretariat determined that during just one year, there was $1.3 billion in unremitted tax revenue – only in Ontario and only in home renos – due to the underground residential renovation cash economy. “There needs to be a realization that it’s a huge problem and it will not go away. It will only increase. Homeowners need to say ‘no’ to the cash deal,” Simpson says. He and Whitemarsh both note that homeowners can easily be the ones to suffer – or even get sued – if they opt to
pay cash instead of hiring a reputable contractor, such as a RenoMark-approved contractor. Both emphasize the need to “get it in writing,” to ensure there is a written contract in place – before any work begins – that clearly spells out the rules and responsibilities of both the contractor and the homeowner. If there is no contract, there is no recourse for the homeowner should something go wrong, such as an incomplete or incompetent reno – the legal system won’t recognize an illegal cash transaction if an owner is trying to skip on paying taxes, Whitemarsh and Simpson note. “You can’t go to court. The first thing the judge will ask is, ‘Where’s the contract?’” Simpson says. “Nobody likes to pay tax but it is just not worth it ... if somebody gets injured on the job on your property, you are responsible,” he adds. If an injury occurs during a cash reno, Whitemarsh says, the homeowners may find themselves in trouble. “If something goes wrong and someone gets hurt, it’s your fault,” she says. “They can sue your pants off.” She and Simpson stress it is the homeowner’s responsibility to conduct due diligence on any contractor before hiring them to do home renovation work. All contractors must be WorkSafe BCcompliant, for example, and all applicable permits, licences and insurance must be in place before work is started. About $3.7 billion will be spent on home renovations and improvement this year in Metro Vancouver alone, Simpson says. “We believe between 30 to 35 per cent of that will be done under the radar in a cash economy,” he says. “Homeowners should always do their homework and make sure they’re absolutely protected.”

Update your front door with a fresh, welcoming look
High-tech is huge in home security systems MAGGIE CALLOWAY
CONTINUED FROM P.1 “The most common questions are about the difference in materials versus cost benefit,” Essery says. Often, clients will come in with a photo of a door taken from the Internet or a magazine, wanting to know if it can be replicated in a size that will fit their home or whether the glass style can be changed or if it can be made in a different kind of wood, she says. Walker is one of the few places that can accommodate such requests, Essery says. “If you can imagine it, we can almost always have it built.” While sustainability and energy efficiency come up a lot, it mainly boils down to a specific style the client is looking for, the price point, and how readily available the product is. Before purchasing a door, Essery says it is important to let the door professional know where the home is located, if it is in full sun, what type of colour or finish the homeowner will be putting on the door, and any other concerns, such as environmentally conscious options. “This will ensure you are getting a product that is best suited for your individual (home), and produced locally if necessary,” she says. “You should always discuss the maintenance required for each material option, and factor that into your final decision.” The lowest price may not always be the most economical choice, Essery notes. Using reputable professionals to have a door installed is important, she adds, not only for warranty reasons, but to ensure the door operates properly, is set plumb in the opening, and adjusted to ensure the locks function as intended. There are also (building) code requirements during installation specifically related to security that must be met, she says.
Walker Door/Window’s Michelle Essery says front doors give a lasting impression. Rob Newell photo Most front doors should last a minimum of 10 years, depending on the quality, care and maintenance required, but an improperly installed door may not seal properly against the weather stripping, allowing for air leakage, says Essery. Damage due to water ingress can also occur if improper flashings are installed at the head of the door or care is not taken to maintain a seal around the perimeter of the door – this has become more crucial with the advent of today’s rain screen cladding systems, she notes.

Protecting the home in the old days meant buying a solid wood door and installing a heavy-duty dead bolt – and that’s only if the homeowners felt the need to lock their doors at all. Those good ’ol days are long gone. Today, home security has come a long way and homeowners can, if they choose, have as much security as presidents and prime ministers enjoy. Orca Security Corporation general manager Brian Pozzolo says homeowners are looking for more than just security these days. Now, home security usually means having an alarm, perimeter protection, interior protection, glass protection and life safety devices, such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, plus temperature and flood sensors, he says. “Now clients are integrating other products with security, such as CCTV cameras along the perimeter of the house, so they can view online or iPhone or (via) security touch screen,” Pozzolo says. Homeowners can now choose to control home security from their iPhone or SmartPhone: they can disarm, view the current status of the cameras, adjust audio settings on the sound system, or even adjust home temperature in advance of returning home, he says. “It started with monitoring the high/ low temperature of wine cellars and now it’s gone one step further ... we are

Heritage: restoring the past MAGGIE CALLOWAY
There is a good reason Basil Restoration Ltd. calls the company ‘restoration’ rather than a renovation company when it comes to heritage homes. Basil is well-known in New Westminster as a company dedicated to both bringing the mechanics of a heritage home up to present-day standards and preserving the priceless beauty which, once lost, cannot be returned. In the 20 years Basil Restoration Ltd. has been involved in restoring heritage homes, the company has gained an expertise second to none. There is no substitute for longevity for gaining specialized knowledge but also, and equally important, sourcing craftspeople who are able to repair or duplicate the many period embellishments often found on these grand dames of the past. One particular New Westminster project was unique because the entire house was moved from a different location. “Our clients have had a passion for years – they love heritage houses and then they saw Howay Cottage, which was completely run down, and looked for an opportunity to save it,” says Basil’s Mark Wittig. The homeowners, living on a 66x132 lot, got permission from the City of New Westminster in a Heritage Revitalization Agreement to sub-divide the lot and move a 1902 Edwardian

Consistent Bedtime Good for Kids Many parents can attest that sleep issues are a concern for both them and their children. New parents are faced with infants that generally have their days and nights mixed up, resulting in a lack of sleep for parents. Then the tides generally turn, and it’s the children who are getting less sleep – begging parents to stay up longer and creating excuses why they’re not ready to snuggle under the covers. But once again it’s the parents who are paying the price – facing lack of sleep and potentially overtired children. A child’s bedtime routine can affect his or her sleep pattern throughout a lifetime. Sleep patterns and sleep routines matter because they have both long-term and short-term implications for health and cognitive development. The National Sleep Foundation says infants and toddlers need on average 12 to 14 hours of sleep daily, which is a combination of nighttime rest and additional naps. Even children up to age 12 should get 10 or 11 hours of sleep. Developing a set bedtime for children early on and creating a bedtime routine can help children anticipate sleep and get the rest they need.
Creating a Bedtime Routine 1. Determine the time when you notice children becoming out of sorts and tired. Make this time the daily bedtime. 2. An hour before bedtime, limit television

watching or other stimulating activities. 3. Think about soothing activities. Consider reading a book or singing a lullaby to younger children. Allowing an hour of quiet reading or music for older children could work, too. 4. A warm bath can help put children in a restful state as well. 5. Be consistent with the bedtime. Don’t allow kids to pressure you into staying up longer. 6. Avoid sugary snacks or caffeinated products for kids before bedtime; they can become even more wired. 7. Try to schedule the household activities so they don’t infringe on bedtime. 8. Children should fall asleep when tired. Keeping a child up late will not necessarily help them sleep better or longer. In fact, an overtired child could take longer to settle down and awaken during the night. 9. Parents should use the time when kids are in bed to rest themselves, enjoy time together or simply enjoy the quiet. Similarly, a consistent waking time for children also develops good sleeping habits. The same can be said for adults. Retiring and waking at consistent times each day enables the body to prepare for rest and is good for general health.

Instead of experimenting with foods that one would hope a child will eat, select healthy items that have a past track record for success. 2. Skip the brown bags. Certain children may relish the idea of bringing in a character-themed lunch box. Older children may scoff at the idea. But the fact is that disposable paper lunch bags are wasteful and reusable lunch carriers are much more eco-friendly. Today there
are lunch bags that are subdued in color and style and are often insulated to keep food at the right temperature. 3. Select organic foods. Whether the child is bringing in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a pizza on a pita, choose foods that are organically grown or local. Supermarkets now stock the shelves with plenty of organic options that are free from pesticides and harmful growing practices. These foods are healthier and more sustainable. 4. Buy favorite foods in bulk. If the child loves cereal treats or whole-grain granola bars, buy the big box and store it in the pantry. This saves on packaging and extra trips to the store, both of which are wasteful. 5. Use reusable containers. Rather than packing a sandwich in a plastic baggie or a piece of plastic wrap, select a series of sandwich holders, containers and the like that can transport the lunch contents to and from school. They’ll have to be washed each night, but kids won’t be contributing to extra waste.

Rams bust Broncos, brace for Raiders Surrey faces league-leading Nanaimo this weekend by Chris Swartz THE BIG Kahuna Rams
extended their winning streak to three games with a 59-14 victory over the visiting Kamloops Broncos Saturday at South Surrey Athletic
Park. It was clear early in the match the Broncos were outmatched against the Surrey squad. Nick Downey started with a punt return that would set up a Rams offensive touchdown. In an effort
to avoid a big return by Downey, the Broncos opted to punt out of bounds from deep in their own end, but the Dartmouth native made them pay on the very next play by hauling in a 39-yard touchdown

toss from quarterback Nathaniel White. Five minutes later, Downey, Canadian Junior Football League special teams player of the year, scooped up the loose ball near mid-field and sprinted 57 yards untouched for his second punt return touchdown of the season. White hit the Broncos with a 10-yard scoring strike to make the score 21-0. The most costly of the flags thrown the Rams way came midway through the second quarter when the Broncos missed a 31-yard field goal. Waiting in the end zone was Downey, who fielded the kick five yards deep in his own end zone and returned it 115 yards the other way for a touchdown. But the Rams were flagged and the play was negated. The Broncos were awarded a single point. Big Kahuna would then take the ball on their own 35 yard line and two plays later, White hooked up with Matt Chapdelaine on a 72-yard scoring play. Then the Rams’ Joe Lester stepped in front of a Broncos pass attempt and took it all the way to the house for a 50-yard interception return touchdown. Fellow Rams defen-

The Broncos faithful got something to cheer about when runningback Clayton Ludba scored to make the score 42-8 at the break, but not before Big Kahuna defensive back Jordan Linnen would fall victim to another Rams infraction. The Surrey native had an 85-yard interception return touchdown negated by a foul on the final play of the half. White threw

his fourth touchdown pass of the day, and ninth in his past two games, early in the third when he found Bullock to make the score 49-8. White wasn’t done yet and scored his second rushing touchdown in as many games with a nine-yard run. Bullock rounded out the scoring with a late field goal from the 14 yard line. The win moved the Rams into sole possession of third place in the BCFC standings with a 3-2 record, just one game back of the Okanagan Sun and Nanaimo’s VI

he man wearing what looks like a spacesuit and holding a vacuum hose under an apple tree is there for a reason. Earlier in the week, a Guildford man and his father were in their backyard when the father was stung twice, near the eye and on the arm.
They had stumbled onto a nest of baldfaced hornets the size of a rugby ball. Out went the phone call and in came Joe Franco, driving his white Toyota Tercel with a ladder on the roof and a custom-made vacuum collection box for wasps, bees and bumblebees. It’s the first solo summer for Franco’s seasonal business, Joe Wasp Nest Removal, an insect- and Earth-friendly way to help
North Delta’s Joe Franco holds a paper wasp nest from a Guildford backyard. The nest and its vacuumed occupants were relocated.
take the sting out of summer for Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley residents. Franco believes he’s the only “green” pest remover of this type in the region. Fully suited up, Franco starts the vacuum and climbs up the ladder. Periodically tapping on the nest, he stirs up the occupants – about 100 of them in total. (Honeybees can have 40,000 critters per colony). After about 15 or 20 minutes, with most of them sucked into a plastic box, he proceeds to take down the nest. This seasonal job – he books about five per day in the summer – isn’t particularly difficult. There are often nests of bald-faced hornets, European paper wasps, yellowjackets, bumblebees and honeybees that entrench themselves in roofs, inside walls, in birdhouses, under sheds, in hollow trees and even inside handrails. “If it were say, a honeybee nest, I would have to get right into the wall and cut it open.” Franco’s priority: If at all possible, keep the insects alive. That means driving out into the country and relocating the nests away from areas of human activity. Once they bees are released from the vacuum box, they automatically See NESTS / Page 33

Nests: Put in the wild with their residents From page 32 head to their nest in its new spot. Honeybee colonies are particularly important to save since they’re integral to the pollination of many of the foods grown in B.C. Honeybees are also facing population threats from mites and pesticides – a worldwide phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder. Although Franco doesn’t treat wasps with the same reverence as honeybees, he still does his best not to destroy them, since wasps have their uses, including keeping down populations of other insects. Pesticides are an absolute last resort – and only used for the most difficult-to-access nests. The last thing Franco wants to be considered is an exterminator. For more information, visit www.joewasp.com
wasp: Thin wasp with a striped yellow abdomen. Nests are small, often hidden inside objects. The nest is not covered in paper. • Yellow-jacket: Thicker body than the European paper wasp, with fewer stripes on its yellow abdomen. Its
paper nests are found in trees, walls and on the ground. • Bumblebee: Thick, fuzzy body. An important pollinator. Nests can be found in birdhouses, in composts, under sheds and in building insulation. Consists of a yellow, bulbous wax.

“The most important job in the world.” Preschool Teacher /
Early Childhood Educator
“Free the child’s potential and you will transform her into the world.” We believe that children learn through play and that they must be free to choose what they want to do in an environment that is safe and stimulating. When Early Childhood Educators support this play in a warm and nurturing manner, children’s development is enhanced in all aspects. Stenberg College is committed to developmentally appropriate practices, and culturally sensitive and inclusive childcare. According to the 2008 ECE Registry Survey commissioned by the BC Ministry of Children & Family Development, the average wage for Early Childhood Educators in BC is $17.43/hour.
Collaborative Approach Our Early Childhood Education program is run off-site in collaboration with the New Life Childcare Centre allowing our students to observe theory in practice.
