‘I have a lifetime sentence’ Sister of murder victim Vic Fraser speaks at killer’s court hearing by Sheila Reynolds JEANIE FRASER clutched her

f any building were to have a ghost of a chance of being home to paranormal activity, this would be the place. It was a venue of the dead after all, where more than 20,000 autopsies took place between 1932 and 1980. The Vancouver Police Museum, a designated heritage building in Gastown, was once home to both the coroner’s court and

autopsy facilities, then the city analyst’s laboratory until 1996. The victim of every murder, suicide and accident in Vancouver for decades passed through the same doors where, on Aug. 13, 2010 (fittingly, a Friday), a team of nine specialists arrived carrying a dozen aluminum cases. The Surrey-based Canadian Paranormal Society (TCPS) arrived for an eight-hour night of apparition analysis. See PARANORMAL / Page 19

rosary and wiped tears from her eyes as she told a New Westminster court how she feels numb and can’t get to sleep at night now that she knows the “horrible” way her brother died 13 years ago. “I have a lifetime sentence,” Jeanie wept, after reading her victim impact statement, in which she shared memories of her brother’s immense kindness and generosity, not only with family, but with impoverished neighbourhood kids. It will be a minimum of 10 years before Gary Jeanie Fraser Johnston, convicted in the 1998 murder of Surrey’s Vic Fraser, is eligible to apply for parole, but Crown prosecutors hope he has to wait much longer. At a hearing in New Westminster Supreme Court Friday, the Crown asked that Justice Robert Crawford set Johnston’s parole eligibility at between 17 and 21 years. See VIC FRASER / Page 3

Vic Fraser:

Stabbed nine times From page 1 Crown prosecutor Adam Jantunen argued the cruelty and senselessness of the murder and the impact on the family are aggravating factors, as are Johnston’s likelihood to re-offend, and his lengthy prior and subsequent criminal record (he killed another man in Regina just months after Fraser’s murder). Vic Fraser, said Jantunen, was a true victim who simply had the “grave misfortune” of visiting his sister’s house on March 10, 1998. During the trial this spring, the court heard how Johnston was gathering things to steal inside the home of Jeanie Fraser, whom he had met several times before, when Vic walked in. The men, who had also met before, greeted one another, but Johnston grew concerned Vic would become suspicious. Johnston took serrated knives from the kitchen, went behind Vic and stabbed him nine times in the neck with so much force the blades broke off the handles. The murderer also kicked the victim and broke a pot on his head before stealing his wallet and leaving. Johnston wasn’t arrested and charged until 11 years after the murder, when he was on parole for the Regina murder. Police lured him into an a fictitious criminal organization in Montreal and Johnston eventually confessed to an undercover officer who was posing as a Vic Fraser crime boss. Defence lawyer Georgia Docolas asked that Johnston’s parole eligibility be set at 10 to 15 years, arguing their was no planning, motive or sophisticated cover-up involved in Fraser’s murder. She said Johnston, who has a Grade 10 education and has been sober for the past 12 years, was living a modest life until he was lured into the fake crime group. By accepting the Crown’s parole request, she told Justice Crawford, Johnston would not be eligible until 2030. “This is not the worst offense and this is not the worst offender,” said Docolas. Jeanie said she felt compelled to sell her home in the Bridgeview neighbourhood after her brother’s murder. “I didn’t only lose a house, I lost a brother – the man who was always there for me unconditionally,” she said. Outside court, she said she’s convinced Johnston, who is now 52, will likely die in prison and believes the more painful sentence for him will be having to sit in jail and think, day after day, about what he’s done. The justice reserved his decision on parole eligibility until Nov. 3.

M than 200 people gathered outside the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel on Thursday to protest the surreyleader.com More appearance of George W. Bush in Surrey. a

Small, well-behaved crowd protests George Bush visit Former U.S. presidents guest speakers at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit by Kevin Diakiw MORE THAN 200 people descended on Guild-

ford last week to protest the arrival of former U.S. president George W. Bush. Bush joined former American president Bill Clinton at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit on Thursday at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel, at 153 Street and 104 Avenue. Many people have alleged Bush is guilty of war crimes for allowing torture of prisoners. A small group started to form out front of the hotel around 8 a.m. Thursday, and by 11 a.m. had reached its full size. The people attending were a mix of protesters from Vancouver and a sampling of people from Surrey. Organizations participating included Lawyers Against the War, Stopwar.ca, Occupy Surrey and some of the protesters from Occupy Vancouver. UBC students Chelsea Leslie, 20, and Rebecca Hassan, 19, said Bush should be arrested here and stand trial for alleged war crimes. Kabal Sandhawhalia, 78, agrees. He came with a Surrey group called the East Indian Defense Council. Their spokesperson Harbajan Cheema said about 15 to 20 of the council’s membership came out to the event. A 30-year-old woman named Kat lives up the street from the protest. “I’m disappointed in the mayor for defending his coming here,” Kat said. The crowd marched up and down 104 Avenue chanting, “Arrest Bush Now” and asking RCMP why they wouldn’t arrest the former president. At one point, the crowd stopped traffic in the intersection of 104 Avenue and 152 Street, continuing the demonstration there. By about 2:30

p.m., most of the protesters had dispersed. Surrey RCMP said they were pleased with the overall response from protesters at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit. No major incidents occurred and no arrests were made by police. “Our security plan worked well,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger. “The safety of both protestors and participants was kept intact.” Road closures in the area lasted throughout the day and traffic was rerouted, which caused minor delays. “We would like to thank motorists, pedestrians, and businesses in the area for their cooperation and understanding of this disruption,” said Grainger. The Surrey RCMP is hopeful that future events such as this in the City of Surrey will

have similar results for public safety. In addition to Bush and Clinton, this year’s summit featured Pam Woodall, senior economics writer and former Asia economics editor with The Economist; John Fund, columnist with the Wall Street Journal; Michael Levy, founder, president and managing director of Border Gold Corporation; Niels Veldhuis, vicepresident of research, The Fraser Institute; and Marc and Craig Kielburger, the co-founders of Free the Children and Me to We. The media was not granted access to the session with Bush and Clinton, and the talk was not recorded. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

The group noted that people in general are able to donate five to 10 per cent of their money or time to charity. Their challenge was to figure out a way to free up the other 90 to 95 per cent of people’s time and money. The youth created what they call “social enterprises,” or companies designed to make profits to fund their causes. They urged the group at the summit to rethink what it is they do as a corporation. “If you exist as a business, you help people,” Marc Kielburger said, adding it benefits companies to keep that fact in the forefront of their employees’ minds. “Remind people why they do what they do,” he said. “It doesn’t cost you a dime.” The two brothers recalled the time they were helping build a school in a Third World country when rain clouds appeared. It didn’t look like they would finish before the storm started. A woman they were with said she would call for the minga. She went outside and yelled, “Tomorrow is the minga.” The two brothers were confused, yet honoured the gesture, having no idea what it meant. The next day, the entire community showed up and began working on the school. The minga, the woman said, means, “Coming together of the community for the benefit of all.” Then she asked “what’s your word for it?” The Kielburgers, well educated men now, were dumbfounded and could not think of one. Today they encourage business leaders to create a culture of gratitude in their firms. “Thank every single person included in the organization,” Craig Kielburger said. He also enocouraged business owners to think long term. “We know that what we do will never be achieved in our lifetime,” Craig Kielburger said, citing the end of world hunger is an example. The fact results won’t be seen right away doesn’t make it any less important, he said. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

North Surrey shooting was a gang hit: Police 27-year-old man killed at 100 Avenue and King George by Kevin Diakiw A MAN is dead in what

police are calling a targeted gang-related hit on the weekend. At 8:20 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22, a man wearing a balaclava ran up to a black Acura TL at 100 Avenue and King George Boulevard and shot the three people inside. Stephen Leone, 27 – who police say has links to the Dhak gang – was fatally shot and two others were injured, including a 15-year-old male. Manjinder Hairan, who police allege is also associated with the Dhak group – suffered minor injuries, as did the teen. They were treated in hospital and subsequently released. Several investigators remained at the tapedoff scene on Sunday examining the black Acura TL, which had several bullet holes in the left side of the vehicle. “Although the investigation is in the preliminary stages it appears to be a targeted, gang-related shooting,” Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound said in a release. The Dhak group has been in a violent exchange with the Hells Angels and Red Scorpions for months. On Aug. 14, Jonathan Bacon, a Red Scorpion, was shot dead at a Kelowna hotel and several others were injured, including White Rock Hells Angel Larry Amero. Since then, there have been several attacks on the Dhak group. On Sept. 16, alleged Dhak member Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun, 24, was gunned down in the 10100 block of 144 Street. Khun-Khun made news in Surrey in 2007 after his 19-year-old fianceé was killed when she fell from the moving SUV he was driving. No charges were laid in that case. The same year, Khun-Khun was sentenced, along with an associate, to three years in prison for kidnapping and robbing a truck driver – an inci-

dent the judge called “random, brazen and senseless.” Anyone with any information regarding weekend shooting is asked to contact the IHIT tipline at 1-877551-IHIT(4448), or, if you wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS(8477) kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

CIVIC ELECTION

Make your vote count Nov. 19

RAESIDE

ith two mayoralty races and 78 candidates vying for spots on municipal councils and school boards, the Nov. 19 civic election in Surrey and Delta should be among the most interesting in the province. Whether voters will agree is an open question. With such a large number of people working for your support in each city, it will take citizens time and effort to vet all of them to see who is most deserving. Is it worth it? Absolutely. The people who sit in council chambers are ultimately responsible for the property taxes you pay, the street-level services you receive, and the development decisions that shape your community. Those who serve on our local boards of education are trusted with ensuring an adequate learning environment is in place for society’s most precious resource: our children. We urge you to take the time to research candidates and their positions on the issues that are important to you so you know where they stand. To help with this onerous process, The Surrey-North Delta Leader will be publishing a special civic vote edition on Thursday, Nov. 10. We will introduce you to all the candidates running in the Nov. 19 election, and give them the opportunity to let you know their top issues, platforms and plans. Take the time to become familiar with the men and women running for office, and then – most importantly – get out and vote.

y first glimpse of B.C.’s care system for developmentally disabled people was as a teen in the early 1970s. My grandfather brought me to his workplace, Tranquille “school.” The Kamloops institution that began life as a tuberculosis sanitorium in 1907 was by then converted to warehouse a different group of society’s outcasts. Ambulatory inmate-patients wearing locked-on football helmets wandered the courtyard of a sprawling prison-hospital complex that featured its own fire station. Tranquille would hit the headlines a decade later, when Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy announced that she was enacting a plan, years in the making, to close such places. Tranquille, with 323 inmate-patients and 675 staff, would be first. A 1983 newspaper report captured the mood: “Mentally retarded persons in institutions must not be ‘dumped back on the doorstep of their natural families’ when these institutions are closed, the executive director of the B.C. Association for the Mentally Retarded warned Monday.” The B.C. Government Employees’ Union

B.C.’s independent children’s advocate continues to pile up reports with questionable effect in another area of intractable and growing social problems.) Cadieux says CLBC’s internal service quality advocate has a high success rate resolving family complaints. A toll-free line has been set up to direct service issues to a new client support group. On Friday Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. “In a people-first organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate,” said a statement from the ministry. No targets or measures. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of defined cost control is too politically risky.

Helpful Hydro or digital Big Brother? Danger

I recently took the unusual step of sending BC Hydro a registered letter. I told them they do not have permission to put a smart meter on my house. I also affixed a copy of that letter to the side of my house, beside my power meter. In my considerable research I had found that these smart meters: 1. Transmit waves which are very harmful to living tissue into our home and across our neighborhood; 2. Monitor our family activities by detecting our use of various electrical devices in and around the home (which makes them an in-home surveil-

lance system); 3. Put the metering of power into a digital format subject to manipulation and outside my ability to monitor or contest. The data I have uncovered is in stark contrast to the “helping” tone of the commercials BC Hydro places in advertisements, I assume all around the province. It is obvious we are being “played” – manipulated. This mental engineering is designed to win our complacent souls over to the bosom of mother Hydro. Little do we know that mother will sow cancer in our bodies, raise our hydro rates through the roof, and peek into our homes

day and night, selling off our consumption habits to the highest bidder and potentially distribute information on our private in-home activities to insurance investigators and law enforcement. BC Hydro is doing their best to advertise this into a non-issue. When a huge corporation like BC Hydro makes a decision to run against our interests and safety, we and our elected officials are duty-bound to take control of that decision and turn it around. To get informed, Google “are smart meters safe?” or “are smart meters surveillance devices?”

Schools are a community asset I GREW up on 65A Avenue, across the park from Hyland Elementary. When the school was first built and for several years afterwards, the grounds were open on the evenings and weekends. However, several years ago, fences went up and the school grounds are now locked at 5 p.m. on school days and all weekend. One might think, what’s the problem with that? The school is open when the children are there. But the problem is the whole community used Hyland Elementary’s grounds: • Older Indo-Canadian women walked the perimeter of the soccer field to get their exercise • Parents took children to play on the playground. (Children I used to babysit called it the “good playground” because it has a lot more stuff than the one in the park). • Countless games of pick-up soccer and baseball were played on the soccer field • Neighbourhood kids played street hockey on the paved teacher parking lot when it was empty. • There was almost always a game of basketball being played on the court. • When it snowed, kids sledded on the two good hills – on behind the school and one leading down from the basketball court to the soccer field. When I lived with my parents, I used to walk our dog through there daily and can testify to all these happenings. I heard a rumour when the school was first locked up that it was to

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

A letter writer is disappointed the school grounds at Hyland Elementary are locked after 5 p.m. on weekdays and on the weekends. deter people who wrote graffiti on the school at night. And I can see the logic in that. But if that is the reason, should we really bow to the lowest common denominator? So many good, honest people used those school grounds for recreation. And at a time when you can’t open a newspaper without reading about childhood diabetes, low

bone density in children and the amount of time children spend in front of a screen, surely locking up a recreational area on the evenings and weekends is a bad idea. I was home visiting my parents last weekend and my mom and I took our dog for a walk. It was a beautiful fall night – dry and warm. As we walked past the locked-

up school grounds, empty again because of the fences, I thought to myself what a terrible shame it was. And today, I had to write to you and ask you, or whoever is in charge of these decisions, to reconsider. Brenda Martin

Make Port Mann Slow down, everyone a truck crossing

IT IS probably true that Victoria is determined to remove the

old Port Mann Bridge so there is no possibility it could be used for free. Would it not make more sense just to re-align the south end and use the bridge for commercial traffic and rapid transit? Trucks, etc. will be paying a toll anyway, which will help keep it maintained. It will be in the very near future that we will regret tearing down the old Port Mann. As far as a park? Won’t happen. Wrong location and too expensive to maintain. R.W. Grifﬁth, Surrey

I WOULD like to comment on the school zones speed. I agree 100 per cent with letter writer Anna Vajda and her comment to slow down and watch for pedestrians and kids. I live in Bridgeview where 128th is the main street. Drivers just don’t seem to acknowledge or care about the speed zone. I have been the crossing guard at Bridgeview Elementary School now for four years. I volunteer to help the kids get to school. That is my payment – I get to know the kids and the parents of the neighbourhood. Some days I get really frustrated with drivers that are: 1. On the cellphone and are not paying attention; 2. In a hurry and don’t care;. and 3. Lost and angry because they are looking for 116 Avenue and can’t access it via 128 Street any more. If you are a driver please use your road sense. Slow down in school zones so everyone stays safe. Ruth Reiter Bridgeview Elementary School crossing guard

RE: “THERE is a risk just walk-

ing,” Letters, The Leader, Oct. 20. When I read this letter in your paper all the horror my daughter and family experienced just over a year ago came rushing back. My daughter was hit in the crosswalk at 84 Avenue and 110 Street in North Delta also, and over a year later still nothing has been done. In the letter, the last line was, “God forbid the cost of sending a child to school costs someone their life.” Is this what will have to happen for the city to finally do something about the traffic that comes speeding down 84 Avenue at all times of the day? It is not just at times when children are going to school but at all times of the day. It seems that you put your life in jeopardy every time you cross at this crosswalk. How about some traffic control on 84th? There is a school, recreation centre, boys-and-girls club and sports fields, plus children who use all the crosswalks on 84 Avenue to get to school. And let’s not forget the people that use the crosswalk everyday. This area has become a throughway for traffic avoiding traffic on Nordel Way, whether it is busy or not. Will it actually take someone dying for the city to wake up and either put in some lights or put in speed bumps from 116 Street to the new subdivision? It is not just Delta drivers that are the problem in our neighbourhoods, it is the people who are just using it as a shortcut to get them closer to their destination. This is just a reminder to all those who drive on 84 Avenue: Our children are out there and using those streets and crosswalks. This is our neighbourhood and while it may not be yours, we would really appreciate it if you would slow down. It would also be a relief to see Delta council actually do something about this crosswalk before someone ends up dead. Sincerely Heather Shepherd Delta

Notice Of Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Bylaw (Pursuant to Community Charter Section 227) TAKE NOTICE THAT The Corporation of Delta (“Delta”) intends to adopt ‘Delta DLC Landfill Site Economic Investment Zone and Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Bylaw No. 6985’. This bylaw offers municipal property tax exemptions to eligible DLC (demolition, land-clearing and construction waste) landfill properties, as shown on the attached Schedule “A” map. The revitalization tax exemption program is intended to promote the closure and redevelopment of DLC landfill sites to achieve environmental and economic benefits. The municipal property tax exemption will act as a financial incentive to help offset the costs associated with landfill closure and long-term environmental monitoring, and help promote subsequent commercial or industrial land-uses. The tax exemption program is available for a maximum period of nine years and the amount of tax exemption will be determined as follows: UÊ ÀÊÌ iÊwÀÃÌÊÌ À Õ} ÊwvÌ ÊÞi>ÀÃÊ vÊÌ iÊÌ>ÝÊiÝi «Ì Ê V ÕÃ Ûi]ÊÌ iÊ> Õ ÌÊLÞÊÜ V Ê the municipal property tax for the eligible parcel exceeds the level of municipal property tax payable in the year before the commencement of the landfill closure or development project (the base year property tax level).

ASSAULT CHARGES have been dropped against the ex-boyfriend of murdered teen Maple Batalia, who was shot to death late last month in Surrey. Gurjinder “Gary” Dhaliwal was charged with assaulting 19-year-old Batalia and another person at a Tim Hortons near 96 Avenue and King George Boulevard on Sept. 24, four days before Batalia was gunned down in a parkade outside SFU Surrey on Sept. 28. Dhaliwal turned himself in to police on Oct. 3 in connection to the assaults and was released the same day. However, Crown prosecutors directed a stay of proceedings against Dhaliwal on Tuesday (Oct. 18), meaning the assault charges will not be pursued.

“On review of the case, the charge assessment standard for proceeding was not met any longer,” Crown spokesman Neil McKenzie said, unable to provide further details. No arrests have been made in connection with Batalia’s death, but investigators are seeking information about a white Dodge Charger with a sunroof that was seen racing from the scene. Police believe the murder was targeted and have as many as 50 officers assigned to the case. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Tip Line at 1-877-551-IHIT.

THERE’S FISH IN MY BACKYARD?

Did you know there are over 1500 kilometres of streams and creeks all throughout Surrey where salmon and trout live? Visit these places at the right time of the year and you’ll luck out with seeing spawning salmon make their way upstream to their native creeks. In Bear Creek Park there have been over 900 spawning Chum salmon spotted in one season! In the late winter it seems to be the quietest time in our local streams for seeing fish but don’t be fooled because this is probably the time of the year when the most salmon are actually in the streams in the gravel as eggs waiting for spring so that they can hatch. If you check out the creeks in the spring, in the calmer pools you might be able to spot the schools of small salmon fry that have freshly emerged from the gravels where their eggs were laid the previous fall. Visit the website to learn about great places to see fish in Surrey! 11771

And each year the scary display gets bigger and bigger, attracting kids from all over Surrey. However, last weekend thieves have made off with one of the main attractions – a nine-metre inflatable

Heads up for Halloween

LOSE HALF YOUR WEIGHT FOR FREE

Looking for scary fun? Here’s what’s haunting and when Black Press

• Potters House of Horrors THE NINTH-ANNUAL

Potters House of Horrors, truly one of the biggest and best Halloween frights around, starts nightly at 6 p.m. The 2011 tour of terror boasts a Halloween Haunted House, with 10,000 square feet of dark, twisty hallways leading to elaborate and stupefyingly scary scenes, displays and surprises. With attractions like Camp Dread, Seven Gates to Hell, and Med-Evil Times, this year’s labyrinth promises to take visitors to new levels of freaky. “We started building the House of Horrors in August,” says Cam Martin, head of Potters’ “Ghoul Crew” that stages the annual horror show. Even the line-up to get inside (there are no reservations) can feature moments of sheer terror. New this year is a Speed Pass, an option that costs more ($25 to $35 depending on what night you go, versus $15-$17), but allows visitors to skip the long wait, which can be up to an hour. Scaredy-cats and families with small children are welcome to visit during the first hour each night (starting at 6 p.m.), when the event runs “static” without live actors, and uses a quieter sound system. The full-on House of Horrors springs to life from 7-10 p.m. and runs until Oct. 31. Potters is located at 12530 72 Ave. For more information, visit www.pottershouseofhorrors. com or call 604-5727706.

Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air.

Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my #23 wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing.

You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too.

urrounded by tripods, specialized lights, shelves and crates full of electronic equipment, a series of desktop computers hum in the Newton basement of Glen and Janessa Ferguson. With them is tech specialist John Drescher. This is the home base of the TCPS, where the evidence is analyzed. There can be 150200 hours of recordings to pore through after an eight-hour investigation. That’s why it took a month for them to produce the evidence DVD for the Vancouver Police Museum. Janessa – like her husband, a Coast Mountain Bus Company driver by day – says analysts will spend hours concentrating on silent audio, to be

suddenly surprised by a sound. Sometimes, their evidence is uncovered

during the analysis. At other times, they get the heebie-jeebies on-site.

found numerous spirit personalities in our building,” blogged Mathieson after the event. “One of the spirits, discovered in the morgue, had a significant affinity for one of our staff members who resembled his wife. Meanwhile, a different (balding) gentleman apparently followed the sensitive around our top floor, annoyed that the investigators were there.” Mathieson, not a believer before the investigation, said he kept an open mind during the experience. “Fortunately for us, whatever spirits inhabit this space seem to leave us alone as we do our work at the museum. Maybe they understand that this is now a place full of life and activity instead of trauma, illness and sadness. “Let’s just hope they never get annoyed with us,” he added.

Invited by the staff following a positive recommendation by the Port Moody Station Museum, the visitors unloaded and set up infrared video cameras, digital voice recorders, full-spectrum cameras (picking up infrared, ultraviolet and visible light range images), Mel Meter and Tri-Field electromagnetic field gauges, Sony Handicams with infrared lights (for night shots), digital thermometers, and just to be thorough, regular digital cameras. Their objective: to record any events that couldn’t be explained as outside noises or defects in the building or equipment. Manager Chris Mathieson stayed until midnight, watching the team spend up to 30 minutes in each room, calling into the shadows while making record-

ings. They would work until daybreak. The investigators were meticulous and respectful of their surroundings, he recalls. “Being the old city morgue, it’s kind of perfect for this kind of investigation.” A month later, he got a DVD with the results. Although there was nothing unusual on video, the audio recordings showed EVPs – electronic voice phenomena – that were worthy of scrutiny. They included tapping, a sigh, a faint hoot and an eerie response to a question. The sounds were posted online at the museum’s website at www.vancouverpolicemuseum.ca There was also a conclusion from the group’s sensitive, Stella Hubert, who says she has been aware of the dead since the age of four, and can see and talk to them. “Their sensitive

Society: ‘We investigate, record and document’ From page 19 2010 took place at The Met Hotel in New Westminster. “George definitely talked to us when we were downstairs,” says Janessa, referring to George William Grant, the architect of the 27-room heritage building that was built in 1892. “He’s doing his job,” adds Glen. “He’s (been) checking the structure downstairs every day for the last 30 years.” Manager John Fialkowski says he’d heard rumours for years that the place was haunted, and welcomed the investigators. “I thought it would add to the folklore.” Kat Kothlow-Fleck, general manager of South Surrey’s Chateau Cargill, describes the TCPS team as very pro-

fessional. She recalls that once in the past during a function, the staff were shaken up as a pile of silver trays flew clear of the closet they were stored in, landing hard on the floor. At other times, staff and guests talked about sensing paranormal activities in the form of nudging, sensations of heaviness or strange sounds. Last year, KothlowFleck set whatever skepticism she had aside and stayed overnight as TCPS investigators probed the building, which specializes in weddings and parties. The DVD contained an unusual event, explains Janessa. One of the investigators was humming a tune from Les Miserables at 2 a.m. About 10 seconds after she stopped humming, she heard “chan-

son” – a male French voice prodding her to continue singing. It was picked up by a digital voice recorder. “Even if you don’t believe (in ghosts), it leaves you with questions,” says KothlowFleck. She adds that regardless of the evidence, Chateau Cargill’s paranormal activity is not malevolent. “It’s not a haunting. It’s all very warm – the spirits are not negative.” Noises and visual disturbances in the form of orbs in photos or video are often difficult for the investigators to interpret. “Sometimes, if we can’t explain it, we ask the client if we can come back because we don’t want to present the evidence unless we’re absolutely sure,” explains Janessa. Last year, they stayed for two nights at The Keg restaurant in New

Westminster. “It was fun for the staff,” says manager James Crape. He says the former CP Rail station, build in the mid-1860s, has been saturated with rumours about paranormal activity for years – some of it related to the great fire of 1898. Crape adds that while he’s had requests for years from different parties wanting to snoop around at night, he only let two in (one was a solo psychic). The TCPS group met his scientific standards as they explained what they wanted to do – and did it professionally. They’re not, he says, hokey people walking around with new-age crystals. The DVD he got weeks later, he says, contained “really neat stuff,” including a photo with “something interesting in it” and audio with voices that were clearly not those of the investigators.

len Ferguson, the founder of TCPS, says when it comes to proving the paranormal, he’s the hardest guy to convince. “I’m probably the most skeptical person in the group. You’ve got to slap me around to get my attention. I don’t get spine-tingling feelings or anything like that. If I catch it on camera or digital tape recorder, great. Then I have some proof.” (He does admit to once being scratched

during an interview with a potential client: “I got a little bit too personal with whoever was in the building with this client”). He says the group takes invitations seriously, and vets for issues that could be abnormal rather than paranormal. “Sometimes you’re looking at an active imagination or they have some sort of mental dis-

order. I can’t go into any place assuming the place is haunted.” How their evidence is perceived depends on the individual. “On (the) record, we do not fudge evidence whatsoever,” Janessa Ferguson declares. “We do not enhance it unless the client asks afterwards. What is shown is what we’ve found.” If they find nothing,

the client is told that. And it’s all done for clients at no cost – just don’t call these paranormal investigators “ghost busters.” “We don’t bust ghosts,” states Janessa. “We investigate, record and document. That’s it.” For more information, call 604-597-9005 or visit www.canadianpara normalsociety.com bjoseph@surreyleader.com

Spooky Surrey Canadian Paranormal Society founder and team leader Glen Ferguson describes some local anomalies • CHATEAU CARGILL: “A couple who had their wedding here noticed many orbs in photos, accompanied by faces. It was a middle-aged woman with long hair, dressed in a suit of some sort, smiling. Another picture showed an image of a small child standing with them. There were three small images on another photo and an image of a man with a bald head. There was another picture background of another photo it appeared as though a young woman was standing in a reflection smiling, but half of her face was missing.” • FLEETWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

“Doors swing shut and orbs can be seen in the basement’s shower room. The janitor has seen ghost in the boiler rooms. There are cold spots and also some touching – a possible explanation could be that it was a teacher who was murdered on his way home many years back.” • CDI COLLEGE: “There’s a report of two separate events of female apparitions seen in the college area.” • GROSVENOR ROAD: “Every so often, late at night, some have seen a mysterious young boy dressed in white, jumping around on the side of the road. A couple of years ago a grocery store (Fung’s Market) was burned down, killing a young boy. Is this the same boy killed in the fire?” He adds: “Personally I’m sceptical when it comes to orbs. I can normally write them off as dust, moisture or particulate matter caught in the IR spectrum. However there have been many I can’t disprove, either.

Builder helps launch Tulips for Tomorrow

AS MANY as 30,000

Princess Irene tulip bulbs are going into the ground this fall as part of a campaign by Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation led this year by one of the builders of the new Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. Bouygues Building Canada, which is also part of the team currently building new RCMP E Division headquarters in Surrey, is the presenting

sponsor of Tulips for Tomorrow. This signature campaign helps the foundation raise money for Surrey Memorial Hospital and beautify the community. Tulips for Tomorrow celebrates Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donors by planting thousands of Princess Irene tulip bulbs in the fall in time to bloom come spring. Donors to the Foundation of $5,000 or more are recognized with tulip displays in public

and business locations throughout Surrey. Donors of $1,000 can claim their very own planter pot full of tulips in the spring. Those who give $100 will support a public planting. Donations this fall will help the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stroke care campaign in support of expanding the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neurology unit. A new 36-bed neurology unit will open in the Critical Care Tower currently under construction at Surrey Memorial. Several businesses

Getting ready for baby

Daniel Twig at Lord Twig Design has a few ideas for new parents who are planning the perfect nursery.

By Maggie Calloway The temptation, especially for your first child, is to go over the top a bit decorating the baby nursery. What you need to stop and think through is that your new bundle of joy grows at an alarming rate and the nursery decorated for a newborn quickly becomes inappropriate for the toddler and beyond.

Vancouver heritage home gets a facelift reVISION Custom Home Renovations goes to work in an old house with character. By Maggie Calloway This was a full-on renovation by Todd Senft of reVISION Custom Home Renovations. A new top story was added, then the whole house including the bottom suite was renovated down to the studs and beyond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a heritage, character home on the east side of Vancouver. The project was very unique in that two intertwined projects were happening

at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Senft says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My company was contracted to do the renovation and at the same time Lighthouse Sustainability was contracted by Metro Vancouver to do an audit of everything that came out of the house that was recycled or repurposed. Because this was a significant renovation it was a prime project for them to look at everything during deconstruct, which is a term they use instead of demolition. In real terms for us it meant everything being removed from the home must be dismantled in a way they could more easily recycle rather than just crushing them and throwing them into a bin.â&#x20AC;? Lighthouse conducted a pilot project on this renovation to document real-world experiences

and challenges in recycling and re-purposing every possible item removed from the home. The roofing shingles were separated; the roof sheathing, drywall, insulation and flooring were also separated. Doors and windows were carefully removed for recycling and every single item was weighed for comparison purposes. This was an exciting project because while it is a noble endeavor to talk about diverting building materials from the landfill there was, and is, a need to get hard facts on what it takes and what is possible. It takes a lot longer to remove items with care,

You have made the difficult decisions about what clothes to keep and what to toss or donate. You have ruthlessly gone through all your drawers and cupboards, including the dreaded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to put it so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just stick it in the catchall drawer until laterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drawer. We all have one of those; I could probably build a summer house including electrical and plumbing out of mine! You have resisted the temptation to keep things â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just in caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and passed it on to someone who could really use it, and now comes the reward. Could this be the time to call in the experts, to create custom storage solutions unique to your needs? To finally get rid of those sagging rails and shoe jumble at the bottom of your closet? Chris Isfeld, along with his brother Brett, are partners in the custom closet design company Designer Closet Guys. Isfeld, an engineer by training, came to B.C. after graduating to work for a plastic company who, among other things, made shelving products. In 2000 the general manager of the company and Isfeld decided to venture out on their own to start a company manufacturing

All the conveniences of a new home in your comfortable, familiar house “ from page.1 separate everything and arrange for various businesses to remove them. Taking longer means more expense to both the renovator and subsequently to the homeowner but because the landfill charges by tonnage, savings are realized at that end of the process. It is impossible to make long-term policy decisions without hard data and this project helped move that data forward. And what about the renovation itself? The family, including two kids and the downstairs tenant, moved out for the seven months of the renovation. The only things saved from the original home were the kitchen cupboards and countertops, as the homeowners had recently renovated the kitchen. “With the new top story, consisting of two bedrooms, one bath and a roof deck, the original foundation would not carry the load so we had to raise and support the house while we removed the old foundation, pour a new one and put in new drainage around the house,” Senft says. “On the main floor we took out the original brick chimney to create an open space between the dining room, living room and kitchen. Open-plan living on this floor made great sense for the family. There is also a bathroom and one bedroom on this floor. Then we created a staircase by the entry to go up to the new top floor. The basement floor had an original rental suite which was also totally renovated and remains a separate suite.” The renovated house is completely energyefficient. The family plans to stay in the home for the long term so it made perfect sense to spend the extra money up front to purchase top-of-the-line mechanical systems with high energy-efficiency. This is a decision anyone planning a major

renovation should keep in mind. It takes an average of five years to gain a return on the investment but the average turnover in housing in British Columbia is also five years. Consequently if you sell, it’s the new owner who gets the advantage of your investment. “This is a character home, which still fits perfectly in the neighbourhood, with a completely new heating system, new hot water system and insulation, the windows were upgraded, all the energy efficiencies you could ask for, all the conveniences of a new home,” Senft says. There is no question that an undertaking of this magnitude is hard on any family. First they are displaced, which is hard especially with children. There are the multitude of daily decisions to be made, and not to be dismissed is the financial commitment. Anyone contemplating a comparable renovation should first surround themselves with an experienced contractor and designer or architect, make as many upfront decisions as possible and, when the going gets stressful (and it probably will), keep your eye on the prize. Short term inconvenience for a long-term gain for your family is a worthy goal, especially when the end result is as amazing as this home became.

The newly re-built home was designed with an aim towards being open-plan, and included a roof deck , left, plenty of floor space on the main floor, bottom left, and a beautiful bathroom renovation, below. Martin Knowles photos

Nursery really for parents “ from page.1 The trick is for the room to be flexible enough to grow along with the child. Daniel Twig of Lord Twig Design is an expert at pulling together a fabulous baby nursery which will still, with a few adjustments, change as your child grows. “When I am invited by a client to design a new nursery I really pay attention to what the rest of the home looks like,” Twig says. “Even though this room is for a child, you wouldn’t design a traditional nursery in a very contemporary home or vice versa; you need a flow. My target is always to create a room which will help make the baby secure, content and stimulated.” Twig agrees that it’s not best to create a room that is only for a newborn. “You can spend an awful lot of money on furniture which is only functional for a very short time,” he says. “The main pieces in the room, the chest of drawers, the comfortable chair, etc. should be of good quality but

PRODUCTS kk QUALIFIED TRADES kk EXPERT ADVICE kk

not age-specific, which will last for years ... The room can be made age-appropriate by wallpaper or decals, curtains and cushions; things that are easily changed and not expensive. This way the room has longevity.” Twig understands that when a room is being designed for an anticipated baby, it is really for the parents. The baby doesn’t get anything from it because they just want love and food. Because of this, he spends a lot of time making the room a practical space for the parents and a soothing, calming and relaxing place for the new child. If the mom is relaxed, the baby will be happy. After the crib, the most important piece of furniture in the room is an appropriate chair for mom. When you have to feed a baby every few hours you need a comfortable, supportive chair, especially at three in the morning. Even an eight-pound baby becomes heavy and exhausting! The great thing is Lord Twig Design is very knowledgeable about what makes a great nursery both for the baby and the parents. Good to know there is one less thing to stress about.

A wood stove is the perfect addition to a chilly winter evening By Maggie Calloway I have to confess right up front that I am a huge fan of wood stoves. I live on a small acreage and depend on heat from my wood stove along with electric baseboard backup. But for me, it is more than the basic need for heat during cold winters. I love the whole process. I enjoy my long chat with the fellow who delivers the wood and I love stacking it in my purpose-built wood shed. I confess to standing in front of my full shed (I always have enough for two years), and feeling a deep sense of contentment knowing that no matter what happens I, and my resident pets, will be warm and snug through the dark months. I enjoy looking forward to throwing another log on the fire on a cold windy night and settling down with a good book. And, if the power goes out, it doesn’t hurt to be able to boil water for a cup of tea or heat up a pot of soup. Word to the wise, using a wood stove is not for the faint of heart; it is hard work. There is always something to do, from stacking wood to filling the wood bin to cleaning out the ashes. It’s a far cry from flicking a switch on and off with natural gas. And if you have to build a fire and wait for the heat to build on a winter morning, well, let’s just say it separates the true believers from the pretenders! And don’t forget the need for organizing a chimney sweep at least once a year. I put in a call to Rick Abbott of R.E. MacDonald in Aldergrove, a store specializing in stoves of all types.

Abbott, along with his colleagues, is an expert in matching the right product with each client. The first thing Abbott advises is that before anyone purchases a wood stove they find a reliable wood source. Though it may seem like a good idea at the time, burning old 2x4s is not allowed because the warranty on the stove would be voided. “If a client purchases a stove late in the season it is likely they wouldn’t find a source of dry wood. For those new to the process, wood needs to be dry, which means about a year of drying time,” says Abbott. “Burning wet, or green wood as it is known, creates creosote buildup in the chimney, which is a major fire hazard.” Once you have the wood situation in hand, you need an expert to advise you on which stove meets your particular needs. Some of the newer stoves have a twenty-hour and up burn, which means they are still throwing heat long after the stove has been stacked with wood, depending on what kind of wood you are burning. For me, the benefits of a wood stove far outweigh the workload involved. Everyone has to make a personal decision about the pros and cons after consulting with an expert such as Abbott. A final word of caution, make sure you advise your insurance company if you plan on installing a wood stove as many have very stringent rules. It also wouldn’t hurt to check with your local municipality to make sure wood-burning stoves are allowed.

Talk to Your Roofer, not a salesman.

Rick Abbott of R.E. MacDonald has several tips for homeowners contemplating purchasing a wood stove, including figuring out which type fits your personal needs. Martin Knowles photos

A kitchen gets a makeover from the designer homeowner By Maggie Calloway

Karen Campbell of the interior design firm, Esprit Décor of Maple Ridge, is a very inventive and talented interior designer. Her work for clients has been extraordinary, and the number of times her clients have called her back over the years is a testament that her work is not only stunning but functional. Campbell lives in a small but fabulous coach house on her own rural property where the Alouette River flows past the huge trees beside her kitchen patio. Like many of us, she spends most of her at-home time in and around the kitchen. The only problem was the kitchen was dated and badly needed a facelift but client work always took precedence. Campbell decided the time had come to make some badly needed changes. This time the kitchen renovation was different. This time Campbell was her own client and she would not be calling in a kitchen cabinet manufacturer to measure the space, consult on the style, and then wait for delivery. Having just finished a complete kitchen renovation for a client and having carefully salvaged the cabinets, Campbell decided she would retrofit them for her own renovation. The only structural change Campbell made to her kitchen was to put in a much larger window over the sink to replace a tiny window which didn’t do justice to the view. In doing that they found the whole exterior wall was rotten and had to be replaced. First, Campbell had to figure out how to configure the cabinets in her space. Once that was done, every cabinet had to be sprayed with high-gloss enamel paint and installed with new hardware. “The island looks different but is actually in the same spot with a new Caesarstone countertop in a totally new shape. This is something people contemplating a kitchen facelift

should keep in mind,” Campbell says. “By changing the shape of the countertop the use can change. My new top has a deep overhang so I can use it for meals with the new stools. There used to be a small seating area where the china cabinet is now, so the island takes its place.” Clever details make this kitchen sing. The backsplash under the china cabinet is repeated on the base of the island, and the granite counters on both the sink side and under the china cabinet are much darker than the island, which creates interest. When Campbell was thinking about a colour scheme for the kitchen she came across the fabric she used as a valance. She loved the colour combination so this was the jumping off point for all the colours in the kitchen. “The best thing I did in the entire renovation was the lighting. I live amongst big trees so light is an issue,” Campbell says. “I installed many different points of light by installing pot lights around the perimeter, lighting in the china cabinet, under-cabinet lighting, lighting under the island shining on the tile feature then down to the floor. Finally, there is the overhead light. All this has made a huge difference.” A carpenter finished off the cabinets’ exposed ends and created a frame around the microwave shelf. To finish, a cork floor was laid to make the floor warmer underfoot.

The Choice

Karen Campbell of Esprit Decor in Maple Ridge had quite the project ahead of her when she began renovating her own kitchen. A new backsplash, below, and under-cabinet lighting, right, was only the beginning. Martin Knowles photos

Mid-century modern a current trend in home decor By Maggie Calloway

To say that mid-century modern furniture, from the early 1950s to the 1960s, is hot is an understatement. Unlike the style of the midlast century where people bought a whole houseful of the same style (think Danish teak furniture), now these beautifully designed, extremely well-made individual pieces are carefully chosen and integrated, with pride of place, into more eclectic decor styles. FULLHOUSE Modern in Vancouver is a treasure trove of mid-century and Danish modern, vintage, industrial and contemporary furniture and collectibles, and a go-to place for designers and people looking for just the right piece. Owner Jennifer Brash is an encyclopedia on the background of each piece and style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today people decorate their homes much differently,â&#x20AC;? Brash says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may buy a midcentury bed and maybe a dresser, but the side tables would be different or they might have vintage bed and side tables but a modernist chair. They may include some lighting that is not period so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so matchy-match, which is not interesting.â&#x20AC;? Part of the appeal is the history and character, Brash says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are using pieces for their beautiful patina, craftsmanship, character and history to warm up their space. Modernism is very popular right now with lots of glass, chrome, and hard surfaces so they are introducing the wood pieces almost like objects of art; they make the space livable and give depth to the room,â&#x20AC;? she says. What those of us who lived in the 50s and 60s didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate at the time was how timeless these pieces are. They are not ornate, the scale is perfect and the wood is unparalleled. The Brazilian rosewood has a moratorium on its harvest so it is no longer available.

Closet Guys committed to best possible service â&#x20AC;&#x153; from page.1 accessories, such as tie racks and belt racks. The partnership, although successful, was dissolved in 2007 but Isfeld was committed to the idea of a high-quality closet design company. In the meantime Isfeld had set up what we now know as Designer Closet Guys with Brett. Brett, who had a design background, was in Vancouver working for an entertainment lawyer and suffering from burn-out. His timing was perfect to have a long chat with his brother about career options, as Isfeld had decided there was a need for a local custom cabinet company and had contracted with a Richmond-based manufacturer to represent their product. The rest is history. So how does the process work once you have made the decision to organize your home, or part thereof, once and for all? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every home is unique so we start with a consultation in the home to get an idea about style, space and what the client wants to achieve,â&#x20AC;? Isfeld says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The space is measured then we are able to show the client immediately, on computer, a design mockup of how we see the best use of available space for their particular needs.â&#x20AC;? They then refine the design back at the office, and present the client with a detailed drawing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(We are) constantly refining until the client is totally happy. A date is set for installation and because we do our own installations the client can be sure they are getting the best possible service.â&#x20AC;? A lot of homes today have actual dressing rooms, so it makes great sense to make the best use of the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having well-designed storage is a great investment because not only will the client enjoy an organized home but on re-sale it is an added benefit,â&#x20AC;? Isfeld says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my own home we have a kitchen/great room where

Chris Isfeld of Designer Closet Guys, bottom right, has several tips for keeping your closet organized. Jewelry drawers, below, and hanging rails for clothes, right are excellent for keeping everything to hand, while baskets for things that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hang, above, are an easy fix. Submitted photos

we spend all our time so we converted what was the formal living room into a dressing room. What we saved from not having to buy furniture for a space we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use we invested in creating a room which enhances our lives. Our master is on the main floor so now we have a large, pretty fantastic master suite.â&#x20AC;? Isfeld would like to remind people that no matter how great it is to finally have everything under control, long-term success depends on them having a system in place. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just keep bringing items into the home because even the new system is finite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they bring something new into the home they need to let something go,â&#x20AC;? Isfeld says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This way the home will remain organized.â&#x20AC;?
