At the age of 18, Holly Forrester found herself in an abusive relationship and caring for an infant son. The fear, however, made her feel leaving was not an option. Three years later, the terror took a terrible turn when her partner started choking her to the point of not being able to breathe. She was

Two years later, though, her selfesteem had once again plummeted and she got involved in another abusive relationship. “I was stuck in the trap again,” recalls Forrester, now 35.

There’s always people willing to give free legal advice, although not many of them are actually lawyers. However, New Westminster residents will get to be on the receiving end of free legal advice from lawyers on Tuesday when the Pro Bono Going Public 2012 shows up at Hyack Square. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., more than 100 lawyers will be available to give free legal advice to low-income individuals thanks to the Canadian Bar Association and the Access Pro Bono Society of BC. A similar event was to be held in Vancouver’s Victory Square on Friday (Sept. 7), and others will be held in Kelowna and Victoria, to highlight the degree to which access to the justice system is in a crisis. With government drastically cutting back on legal aid services, it’s been left up to the charitable shoulders of lawyers to provide pro bono work, says society executive director Jamie Maclaren. see SMaLL caSES, a7

Picker heaven found in New West Popular Canadian TV show’s hosts find unusual items at 12th Street store Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

It was a quiet winter’s day when Tony Peric got a phone call out of the blue last January. The voice at the other end was a producer for the show Canadian Pickers. But Peric had trouble believing the call was for real. That’s because the reality show—starring Scott Cozens and Sheldon Smithens of Calgary who travel the country looking for treasures in people’s junk—is Peric’s favourite. “I watch it all the time. I thought it was a prank,” said the owner of Tony’s Used Building Materials on 12th Street.

It was no joke. Some producers from the popular show, in its third season on The History Channel, arrived a couple of days later to take pictures. Then one snowy morning a few days later, Cozens and Smithens showed up at his store’s door. The segment on their visit aired for the first time on Monday, and will be repeated several times this week. “They bought a lot of stuff off of me,” said Peric, who also runs a demolition business. “They’re really nice guys.” Peric, who signed a confidentiality agreement until the show aired, said he sold even more to Cozens and Smithens than was shown. And even more to the film crew afterward. Peric threw the pair for a loop a couple of times by asking for high prices

included in the show. “I think I took them because I knew they would lowball me, so I just raised the prices on them. So I got everything I wanted,” said Peric, who has heard Cozens and Smithens were able to resell the sign for $800. Cozens and Smithens also took a liking to a big red tool sign with a wrench through it that was hanging in his store, as well as a gumball machine and a petrified bat encased in a glass frame, something he never thought he’d ever be able to sell. “They’re really nice guys,” said Peric. “They loved my store … I think I did pretty good.” He did admit to taking a while to get adjusted to being on television.

to start with. Cozens was stunned when Peric asked $800 for a green neon sign hanging in the side window that simply said TV and resembled the old TV Guide logo.

Eventually they shook hands on $425. He said he also got a couple of eight-foot bucksaws used by loggers out of the deal, but that part of the transaction wasn’t

In 2003, she took her daughters, age 3 and 7 at the time, and left him because it was an environment she didn’t want her children to be raised in. “It was quite difficult. I had a lot of support from my family. I made up my mind I’m going to make it in this world with my daughters,” says Stover. Beyond the support of her family, Stover says she had to look hard for help. She took child and family courses at Douglas College and began volunteering with the Elizabeth Fry Society. She worked at their drop-in centre for three years before giving birth to twins with her second husband.

“There’s no script, whatever comes out of your mouth so I was kind of nervous with three or four microphones and cameras in your face,” said Peric. On the show, Cozens can be seen climbing up and over the accumulation of inventory Peric has stuffed into every nook, cranny and shelf—ceiling to floor—in his little store. “He’s a climber. He worries me, I thought he was going to fall. He jumps around like a little rabbit,” said Peric.

Peric has been a long-time picker himself. He started when he was a kid accompanying his father to yard sales, garage sales and the like to stock the shelves of the family store which Peric took over after his dad’s death. “Anything I saw I could make money on I bought. And that was something I learned as a kid just watching my dad,” said Peric. That’s why ever since American Pickers first started appearing on television a few years ago, followed by Canadian Pickers, he’s been a fan. He

prefers the Canuck version. “The Canadian one is getting really, really popular. I run into a lot of people who watch it now. My little nephew watches it all the time and he’s eight years old,” said Peric. The show is so popular it’s quickly made Tony’s place quite popular, too. “I’ve had so many people come in who said they saw me or phone me and say they now want to come in and see the store,” said Peric less than 48 hours after its debut. facebook.com/newwestnews

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Protect children Canada’s crime rate is at a 30-year low, but despite this good news story, people still feel the justice system is too lax on criminals. Recent sentencings, like that of shamed senior RCMP officer Monty Robinson, give credence to people’s cries of foul. For obstructing justice in a hit-andrun death, he received a small conditional sentence and a temporary curfew. This is in contrast to the sentencing of the Stanley Cup rioters. Some young men being sentenced for taking part in the riot are receiving seven to nine months jail time for their part. This may seem either harsh or just in the eyes of the public. But in comparison, an Abbotsford man recently convicted of child pornography received only 18 months. A conditional sentence is a common sentence for the crime, even if the perpetrator is not just looking at child porn but distributing it. Convicted pedophiles usually do see the inside of a jail cell, but sentences range and often aren’t longer than two years. It is particularly troubling that in this study on crime rates, the offence which saw the largest increase was child pornography, which jumped 40 per cent in 2011 from 2010, say police. The judicial system doesn’t appear to take sexual crimes against children as seriously as it does rioters. The province wanted to send a strong message that those who riot will pay for the crime they committed. Our judges have responded and, by B.C. judicial standards, are handing down harsh sentences. If our government can carry that kind of influence with the B.C. judicial system to send a message of deterrence for rioting, why not send a stronger message to protect children from predators? – Black Press

Building pride as a stay-at-home mom “So, what do you do?” One thing I’ve noticed since my transition from a reporter on maternity leave to an official stayat-home mom is how I answer that question. I’m ashamed to say, I respond a bit sheepishly: “I’m a stay-athome mom...” And there’s always a “but.” “But I used to work as a reporter.” “But I do some freelance work.” “But I’ll go back to work after we have a second child once he/ she is old enough for preschool.” Why do I feel the need to justify to strangers and friends my choice to “just” be a mother? Often, it’s when I think about my high-achieving female friends that I feel a stab of guilt.

Small cases can be huge help for people ⫸

continued from front page

“There’s always been a need for pro bono services but it’s certainly been ramped up with legal aid being cut back,” said Maclaren. He noted in 2002, when the legal aid budget was slashed by 40 per cent the network of poverty law offices in the country went from 40,000 to zero in one year. “Obviously those legal fees just didn’t disappear, other lawyers had to stand up to provide those services,” said Maclaren. British Columbia, he noted, has the largest pro bono engagement in the country. Maclaren’s interest in pro bono work began while attending law school at UBC after getting an undergraduate philosophy degree. Pro bono meant he could put his philosophical concepts and theories to practical use. “I was inculcated early in my law career, and I’ve kept that ethic up,” said Maclaren. “What I liked most is the discovery I could help people. I could help solve people’s

problems in the here and now. Turn a negative situation into something if not positive, not negative any more. I got gratification from helping people in small cases that meant a great deal to the people facing the problems.” His biggest case has been successfully getting the B.C. Supreme Court to strike down the province’s court hearing fees as unconstitutional, a ruling the government is currently appealing. Small cases, though—such as helping a client get money being withheld by a landlord in order to find a new apartment—are rewarding, because it can help people get some security in their lives, said Maclaren. “The ones I found most gratifying are the ones that have a connection with a client with a somewhat mundane legal problem that helps them carry on with their life.” Often, said Maclaren, people avoid going to a lawyer because they can’t afford it. “It’s not surprising people aren’t proactive about their

legal problems. They let it fester to the point where they have a court appearance before actually doing anything about it,” he said. Tuesday’s consultations will generally last about 30 minutes each. In that time, lawyers can steer people in the right direction, advise them what is realistic in terms of outcomes and what’s not, said Maclaren. “There’s a lot that can be done in a half hour.” The society regularly holds clinics at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus. Tuesday’s event appointment book is basically full, said Maclaren, so he advises lowincome individuals looking to get advice to get there early because the drop-in slots get booked quickly. He also suggests clients be organized by providing a timeline, a synopsis and documents for the lawyers to look at. For more information go to www.advice-a-thon.ca. twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

Tax critics wary of region’s first new civic contract New West, CUPE ink deal to lift pay 6.75 per cent Jeff nagel

jnagel@blackpress.ca

The first contract to be signed with municipal workers in Metro Vancouver has set a bar that may strongly influence other negotiating tables across the region. Critics say New Westminster’s deal giving its civic workers pay hikes of 6.75 per cent over four years doesn’t bode well for other city councils who hope to keep a lid on their municipal wages and taxes. “It will probably end up costing taxpayers across the region money,” said Jordan Bateman, spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. He had pressed for a civic equivalent of the province’s net-zero mandate that froze labour costs for two years. “It’s another example of a city hall caving to CUPE and signing a deal that’s good for those members and not so good for taxpayers.” Bateman worries the New West agreement is the start of a replay of 2007, when Richmond broke ranks with other cities and gave its unionized workers an extra 17.5 per cent over five years to secure labour peace through the 2010 Olympics.

That became the pattern for the rest of the region as other cities signed with their CUPE locals. “It’s unfortunate the cities were so quick to follow the provincial government on the Olympics,” Bateman said. “The problem now is they’re coming off an extremely lucrative contract. They never took net zero like the provincial unions did.” The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, which lobbies for civic cost control, also expressed concern that other cities may fall in line. Spokesperson Shachi Kurl said it’s too early to say the New Westminster deal sets a precedent for other unionized wage increases, and noted each city varies in its ability to pay and other unique circumstances. But she said it could be a factor. “Even if you have a restraintminded council or finance director who may want to rein [labour costs] in, that becomes very difficult when all your neighbours are going in a different direction.” The New Westminster deal is retroactive to Jan. 1 and includes increases of 1.25 per cent this year, 1.75 per cent in each of the next two years and two per cent in 2015. – files from Grant Granger

While Modo and for-profit services Zipcar and Car2Go might seem a natural fit in neighbourhoods with less frequent bus service, observers say the opposite is true. Good transit and dense, walkable neighbourhoods are essential because those are areas where more residents are apt to give up their own wheels and opt to rent for just occasional trips. Users save the cost of owning, maintaining and insuring a vehicle they might rarely use and

While the City of Vancouver has bloomed as a mecca for carsharing—three services rent out more than 700 vehicles to users who typically forgo owning their own car—the concept has been much slower to roll into Metro Vancouver’s more car-dependent suburbs. Modo, Vancouver’s original car-share co-op, just added its third and fourth cars based in Surrey—both at the new Quattro housing project and they were both paid for by the developer. The other two are at nearby Surrey SkyTrain stations and are Modo’s only four car-share vehicles offered south of the Fraser so far. Another Modo minivan has recently been added at the River Market in New Westminster, its fifth shared vehicle in that city. But the bulk of the co-op’s 275 vehicles are in Vancouver proper, with a small smattering in North Vancouver and in Burnaby near SkyTrain stations. Even the Canada Line hasn’t yet brought Modo into

Soron said. “We have zero vehicles but we have all these vehicles to choose from.” He figures they save plenty of money, too. “We don’t have to worry about unexpected repairs and expenses,” Soron said. “So it’s very low risk and it just makes driving less stressful.” He sees plenty of potential for suburban growth, particularly in corridors where transit is slated to improve, and says cities can do more to help by relaxing parking requirements for developments that add car-share offerings. Transportation blogger Stephen Rees, who lives in Richmond, said he wishes Car2Go would expand. Unlike Modo and Zipcar vehicles—which must be returned to their home parking stall—Car2Go’s two-seater Smart cars can be taken on one-way trips and left on any residential street, provided it’s north of 49th Avenue and west of Renfrew in Vancouver. Car2Go also offers a few cars at Kwantlen Polytechnic University campuses in Richmond, Surrey and Cloverdale, and a spokesperson said the service may consider extending that concept further.

Richmond, although the co-op aims to be there soon. Marketing director Bernice Paul said car-share vehicles first need to be authorized to use on-street parking and a bylaw is expected to come to Richmond council this fall. She said Modo will also look to Port Moody and Coquitlam once SkyTrain arrives with the Evergreen Line. But she said most of Modo’s 9,000 members are in Vancouver and the co-op must provide cars where they’re wanted. “We don’t have the luxury of pushing demand—buying and placing a car somewhere to try to build up membership,” Paul said.

According to the Real Estate Board of Vancouver, secondary suites are so prevalent that Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation estimates there are now about 101,808 accessory suites in the Metro Vancouver region. “With so many suites in our area, it’s important to remind home owners to let their insurer know about a suite and to buy insurance to cover the suite,” says REBGV member David Chambers, a licensed realtor and a licensed insurance agent, and vice-president of Chambers Olson Insurance in Vancouver.

Depending on the insurer and on the policy, this can cover vandalism and damage by tenants, typically up to a payout maximum limit of $5,000. This insurance doesn’t cover the tenant’s belongings.

“Whether the suite is legal or illegal, having insurance coverage is vital,” says Chambers, who notes there is a misconception among home owners that their existing policy will cover a suite. “It doesn’t,” says Chambers. A home owner who doesn’t tell their insurer about a suite and that there are two households living in the home, opens themselves up to significant risk. An unreported and uninsured suite could potentially void the existing insurance contract on the primary residence if there is a flood or a fire,” explains Chambers. Some home owners may not properly insure their property because of fear that

‘A low-maintenance lifestyle’

Downsizers finding a home at Edgewater The recent increase in multi-family construction projects is a burgeoning trend. While many people still prefer a single-family home, buyers are flocking to developments that offer apartments or townhomes. “It’s a low-maintenance lifestyle,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds. Edgewater, by Barber Creek Developments in South Surrey, is one multi-family development that has seen sales boom since it opened for sale last year. Edmonds says that many of their buyers have been downsizers. “They don’t need the space anymore,”

she says. “It’s also become more socially acceptable” to live in a condominium or townhouse, plus the perks of no longer having to do your own maintenance. Edgewater is particularly popular for several reasons. “A project like this won’t be replicated again,” Edmonds says. “It’s one of a kind.” Only five homes now remain in the project. But what about the privacy that is often inherent in a single-family home? Though you might be giving up your backyard, many condo developments now include a private balcony or patio with every suite. It will be your own private piece of solitude, even in the middle of the bustling Lower Mainland.

Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver, (and) car-sharing options through Modo.” The homes have appealed to people of all demographics, from first-time buyers to those choosing to downsize. “Our first SOLO buyer ... was a firsttime homebuyer in her late 20s who had grown up in the area,” says Bosa. “Like many other buyers she knew the area well, saw the potential in the community and wanted to be a part of it.” The bottom floor of the towers at SOLO District will hold retail and commercial space. Whole Foods is just one of the amazing shops that will be moving in to the community. Other amenities at SOLO District include a fully fenced rooftop dog park, a fitness studio with a sauna and steam rooms, and a covered rooftop terrace barbecue area, among several other things. Each unit comes with a secured

basement storage room and a one-year membership to Modo Car Share with three dedicated vehicles. Along with the car-share program, there are also electric car charging stations and four car wash bays. The neighbourhood itself is close to several schools, from elementary to post-secondary at Simon Fraser University and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Restaurants and shopping are within walking distance, including Brentwood Town Centre. Recreation is also within easy reach with a variety of gyms, community centres and other leisure activities. “SOLO District proves that market strength exists for a strong community concept, which is exactly what Appia ... has created here at Brentwood,” says Wong. “The best developments will counter any negative real estate market trends.” In fact, buyers lined up for two hours on opening day on July 21. The next release of homes is scheduled for sometime in the fall. Homes start at $229,900. For more information, check out www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

‘A strong community concept’

Appia builds on community demand with SOLO by Kerry Vital

Appia Development has combined a fantastic location, great value and stunning homes in their newest development, SOLO District in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. “We quickly realized that community demand was there and that people wanted to start buying,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We decided to release a few homes as an introductory release and we’ve had an excellent response. We’ve sold out our first release and we’re also oversubscribed for the next round.” It’s no wonder they’re all sold out with the array of gorgeous features that are included in the homes at SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed. Imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry in the kitchen that is perfectly complemented by the polished quartz countertops and quartz slab backsplash and modern stainlesssteel appliances are just a taste of what’s to come in your new home. The engineered wood flooring in the entry,

kitchen and living areas is offset by the custom roller blinds on the windows and durable nylon carpeting in the bedrooms, while the nine-foot ceilings and seven-foot entry and interior doors lend themselves to the huge sense of space you feel when you enter your home. Beautiful panoramic views of the North Shore mountains and downtown Vancouver greet you from every angle, while two designer colour schemes (Grigio and Noce) make it easier to make your home your own. SOLO District is split into four sleek glass towers, ranging from 38 to 48 storeys that will include more than 1,400 homes. The first phase, Stratus, holds nearly 400 condominium homes at 45 storeys. The other phases will be named Altus, Cirrus and Aerius. Buyers will be able to take occupancy in early 2015. “We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way

“

We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects.

Beautiful views come standard at SOLO District, above. The engineered wood flooring and an open concept layout combine for an elegant living space, while the bathrooms, left, are full of chic details such as premium Kohler fixtures and flattering lighting.
