Canada Day fireworks returned to the New Westminster waterfront again this year, and put on a spectacular show.

Canada Day birthday bashes a blast Fireworks and concerts were a big hit at Quay, Queen’s Park Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

What was arguably one of New Westminster’s best birthday bashes ever ended with a bunch of big bangs Monday.

After an absence of two years, the city concluded its Canada Day celebrations with a spectacular pyrotechnic display from a barge on

the Fraser River as spectators lined of New Westminster’s Arts and the boardwalk.

Culture Commission staged the “The response was just fantastic. annual Canada Day bash at Queen’s The crowd was larger than I could Park, which drew hundreds of have even expected,” said people out to enjoy activities Douglas Smith, executive and entertainment that director of the Hyack Festival included popular children’s Association. performer Charlotte The organization twinned Diamond. its first Concerts on the In 2011, Hyack, which Quay program of the had put on Canada Day smith summer season with the fireworks the previous two fireworks. years, cancelled the night Earlier in the day, the City light show.

They had been fired from a spot in Queensborough opposite the Westminster Quay that was no longer available because growing residential development made it impractical.

In addition, funding had been difficult to obtain, especially since the association also set off fireworks during the Hyack Festival in May and the annual FraserFest later in July.

Two years after he led a campaign to improve safety at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station, Kris Taylor remains dismayed at the response from TransLink and Transit Police when incidents are reported.

Taylor, who lives across Seventh Avenue from the station, reported last Saturday a child screaming “I want my mommy!” while being berated and slapped by an adult woman on the station’s platform.

He phoned Transit Police, which is not connected to the emergency 911 system.

He thought that might bring about a faster response and TransLink could stop the trains from running so no one could escape.

But the trains kept operating and the kid kept crying so he phoned back more than five minutes later. By the time New Westminster police arrived everyone had gone, said Taylor.

Why, he wondered, hadn’t there been a TransLink employee calling it in?

PABLO NERUDA IN TRANSLATION Enjoy an evening of poetry by Pablo Neruda at the New Westminster Public Library on Tuesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm.

Chilean poet Pablo Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971 and has been described by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as the “the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language.”

The event is presented by the Royal City Literary Arts Society and the New Westminster Public Library.

LAWN SPRINKLING REGULATIONS Lawn sprinkling regulations are in effect annually from June 1 through to September 30. The intent is for watering to take place in the early morning hours, when demand is low and evaporation is minimal. The policy affects both residential and nonresidential areas, and the permitted watering hours are summarized below: RESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES Even Addresses: Mon, Wed & Sat (4 am – 9 am) Odd Addresses: Tues, Thurs & Sun (4 am – 9 am) Both Even N/A & Odd:

1.

NON-RESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES Mon & Wed (1 am - 6 am) Tues & Thurs (1 am - 6 am) Fridays (4 am – 9 am)

Newly turfed or seeded lawns may be irrigated more frequently, provided a permit stipulating conditions are first obtained from the Engineering Department.

2. Hand-watering of flowers, shrubs and vegetable gardens is not affected by the regulations at this stage.

3. Car washing using a hose equipped with a spring loaded shut-off device is permitted.

For more information, please contact Queensborough Community Centre at 604-525-7388.

Your cooperation will help save water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1-inch of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy.

CITY HALL ELEVATORS

If you require more information, please contact Engineering Operations at 604-526-4691. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please note that the passenger elevator in the main lobby of City Hall will be shut down July 8, 2013 and will be available for use again September 1, 2013 due to repairs as ordered by the BC Safety Authority.

Any member of the public who is unable to take the stairs and requires access to the basement and second floor levels of the building should report to reception, where they will be escorted by a staff member to the east elevator.

For more information, please call reception at 604-521-3711.

Pattullo to close three weekends

Huge pArAde returns tO tHe ’bOrO Each year the Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar New Westminster organizes a parade commemorating their fifth spiritual master Guru Arjan Dev Ji. This year the parade, also known as a Nagar Kirtan, took place Sunday, June 30 in Queensborough. The event was hosted by the Khalsa Diwan Society New Westminster, and started at the Gurdwara and paraded through the neighbourhood to Ryall Park, behind Queensborough Community Centre. The main stage featured religious hymn groups from around the world, and local children performing Gurbani Kirtan (Sikh religious hymn singing). There were traditional Sikh martial arts demonstrations and many activities for the entire family.

The Pattullo Bridge will be closed to all traffic for three weekends this summer while TransLink carries out repairs.

The closures are set for the weekends of July 20-21, Aug. 10-11 and Aug. 24-25 and run from 9 p.m. on the Friday night until 3 a.m. Monday.

The bridge will also be off limits to pedestrians and bikes. Crews will repair sections of the concrete deck and repave parts of the 76-year-old bridge.

TransLink will also review the condition of the driving surface and make improvements as necessary.

Any heavy rain on the three weekends would extend the work to a fourth weekend on Sept. 7-8, TransLink said.

It’s the first significant full closures of the Pattullo since a fire on the wooden trestle beneath the south approach forced it to shut down for nine days in 2009.

About 58,000 vehicles use the Pattullo each day on weekends, compared to 73,000 on weekdays. Those numbers are up about four per cent since tolls went on the Port Mann Bridge and the Pattullo became the nearest free crossing of the Fraser River.

The current work does not include a planned $150-million seismic upgrade for the Pattullo that TransLink intends to carry out regardless of what option is chosen to eventually replace the bridge.

During the planned closures, the City of New Westminster will conduct a structural inspection of the Royal Avenue Overpass at McBride Boulevard as well as patching some pavement in the area.

Concerts would be good fit for Pier Park: Hyack ⫸

from frOnt pAge

But this year, Smith said he and the Hyack board decided to focus their energies and money to have fireworks on the one night when people anticipate them— Canada Day. “Absolutely Canada Day is the right day to have fireworks,” said Smith. “There’s a certain expectation of fireworks on Canada Day in a lot of

communities and we wanted to meet that expectation.”

He said if they had been held at the opening of Hyack Festival week in May it would have been rainy, windy and cold this year.

“Somebody is looking down upon us favourably. The weather yesterday was absolutely perfect, and there was even a slight breeze which is great for the fireworks,” said

Smith on Tuesday.

“I was always very concerned about having fireworks during the Hyack Festival in May. It just seemed we were playing with fire, so to speak, no pun intended.”

Smith felt the first Concerts on the Quay of the season and the fireworks augmented each other well.

“The two tied in brilliantly. Judging by the reaction from the

crowd and the size of the crowd, which was magnificent. It was three or four deep all along the boardwalk and the Quay,” said Smith.

In the future, Smith would like to see the concerts moved from beside the River Market to Westminster

Pier Park once the Timber Wharf section is developed. That would allow for more people to gather in front of the stage and for more infrastructure to be brought in such as food services.

The fireworks finished off an all-day party that began with

the annual children’s entertainment at Queen’s Park.

“It was very successful, of course the weather had a lot to do with it. I would call it one of the best Canada Days we’ve ever celebrated in New Westminster,” said organizer Tony Antonias. “We had people milling all over the place.”

This year, Antonias and his committee raised money for

Restaurant grease is not only clogging consumers’ arteries, it’s clogging up the city’s sewer system.

It’s already caused a couple of costly repairs to fix blockages in New Westminster, so the city plans to work with Metro Vancouver to effectively control the grease going into the sewer system.

A report to city council pointed out grease flowing into city sewer pipes hardens and congeals as it cools, causing a cardiac arrest of sorts, especially in older clay pipes with multiple joints.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PuBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Boost in security coming News of a terrorism plot involving the B.C. legislature and pressure cookers filled with nails has sent shock waves through the province, and nowhere is the news hitting with more impact than in Victoria, where the iconic B.C. Legislature draw tourists year round. A Canada Day event there on Monday (the event the terrorists were targeting) attracted about 40,000 people to the legislative lawns.

B.C. residents may say “it can’t happen here,” but it can and it does. People in Boston likely felt much the same about the Boston Marathon, before the bombing incident this year, which apparently inspired the B.C. couple alleged to be at the centre of this plot.

Whether inspired by religion, politics or just mischief, acts of terror are on the rise in North America. Since the infamous acts of Sept. 11, 2001, a host of plots have been uncovered and several attacks, such as the Boston one, have actually been carried out.

Three people were killed and 170 injured in Boston.

This has led to a dramatic increase in security at the borders and airports, in particular, but also at large public events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The original budget for security at the Olympics was projected at $175 million. The actual cost was $900 million.

Events such as Canada Day celebrations have not been seen as likely targets for acts of terror, but they do attract large crowds.

Security has usually been pretty straightforward at such events.

But it seems likely it will have to be boosted in the future, whether to ensure that wannabe terrorists have no chance to get near an event, or drunken partiers are barred from the grounds.

We may not want more security, but as citizens we appreciate extra efforts to make us safe.

When saying sorry goes south Have you noticed how a defiant child apologizes?

Watch. Listen. It can be almost amusing, as the reluctant offender twists body language and words when prodded to say ‘I’m sorry.’

Adults, with years of experience, are more skilled at contrition; the physical and verbal reaches undetectable, the offended party placated.

That is why it can be so compelling when an apology goes south.

Last week, foodies and fans watched as one of their own, Paula Deen, defended herself against accusations of allowing shockingly unsavoury conditions for employees at her family’s restaurant in Savannah, Ga. Testifying in court, the TV chef was asked if she’d ever used a particular racial epithet – a heinous word once widespread well beyond her neck of the woods, but viewed today as inexcusable for all but hipster filmmakers and hip-hoppers who’ve misguidedly reclaimed it as their own.

Deen, 66, testified she had indeed used the racist word,

Lance Peverley citing a specific example 30 years ago when she was robbed at gunpoint by a black man.

It’s likely she assumed this would gain sympathy as a crime victim. For many, it was viewed as selective memory, cited to avoid perjuring herself.

Her tearful explanations since have added division to an already-segregated country, with retailers dropping the Deen name, her online sales skyrocketing, and detractors and defenders – both – using colourful language of their own.

Other apologies closer to home in recent weeks might not have been as ridiculously insensitive, but they’ve been no less galling.

In a debate prior to B.C.’s May 14 election, the NDP’s man-whowoulda-coulda-been-premier reemphasized he embraced ownership of a past shame, in which he, as a previous premier’s

chief of staff, inexcusably backdated a memo to protect his thenleader from conflict-of-interest charges.

If only Adrian Dix’s regret stopped there. Instead, he noted, he was a mere 35 at the time.

Thirty-five? Are 35-yearolds underdeveloped, or just untrustworthy? And does this mean we can take Dix at his word now, at the tender age of 49?

Not to be outdone, Premier Christy Clark stopped lampooning Dix’s ageinappropriate explanation just long enough to defend her own chief of staff, who took the fall over a leaked BC Liberal plan to spend our money to woo the ethnic vote.

Kim Haakstad was “about 35” when she erred, explained away our premier.

Again with that number. Is 35 the new 14?

Surely 35 isn’t too young to take on some responsibility.

he’s a still-formative 29½?

Of course, this wasn’t the premier’s only apology. In the days since Clark won the Legislature but lost her seat – before her MLAs were even sworn in – she quietly gave raises to political staff. Then recanted… a bit… after this was made public.

“Although the original change would have meant we were underspending the budget by $100,000, I’ve heard loud and clear that people didn’t like it,” the premier tutted.

Yes. Because coming in under budget is the goal – not spending wisely.

Considering all these youthful indiscretions, obstinate justifications and regretful pleas for clemency that you and I have had to endure from public figures in recent times – from sorrowful politicians, to desperate CEOs, to devil-made-me-do-it evangelists – perhaps we can be forgiven for thumbing our noses.

Or would that be childish?

Let’s Look at aLL the options Re: Two options for ‘boro bridge (NewsLeader, June 19) A water taxi would be better for the following reasons: It provides quicker and more direct connectivity to Port Royal residents to the business/ transportation and civic amenities the city is trying to support and promote.

With the exception of an appropriate wharf landing near the Fraser River Discovery Centre/River Market area, existing infrastructure is in place.

One can easily see that businesses like the River Market, Inn at the Quay, restaurants and other businesses at the Quayside landing area and Downtown would

likely also prefer this shorter, less costly and more direct connection.

A water taxi option, so enthusiastically embraced by tourists at Granville Island, would also be an attraction here in New Westminster, allowing a greater draw to the area and its other amenities such as the Anvil Centre, Landmark Cinemas and the Discovery Centre.

The water taxi option is also a far better all-weather transportation connection to SkyTrain being shorter, more direct and sheltered.

For all of the above reasons it is clear that, during the public consultation process, this exciting option should be included, evaluated and tested in a collaboration process with all parties at the table.

Let’s all work together, with a robust set of options, so taxpayers have input to maximize their legacy dollar impact.

exception, onLy for those who ruLe It’s welcome news that Premier Christy Clark has rescinded the large pay increases for political staff appointed by

individual cabinet ministers.

It’s a smart move considering the public outrage it generated and the likelihood of it carrying over into the Westside-Kelowna by-election.

Unfortunately, Clark is exempting one of her own staff members from the salary reversal. She intends to pay her former assistant campaign director, Michele Cadario, a whopping $175,000 as deputy chief of staff. The justification offered is that Cadario will be doing two jobs instead of just one. It’s not very believable.

The fact of the matter is the controversial attempt to reward ministerial aides for political (as opposed to public) service has its origins in a firmly entrenched culture of entitlement within the Liberal government.

Moreover, Clark’s decision with respect to her personal political appointee suggests she believes some have a greater entitlement than others.

Bomb suspects ‘self-radicalized,’ RCMP say Jeff Nagel Black Press

Two Surrey residents accused of planting pressure cooker bombs outside the B.C. legislature on Canada Day are described by police as “Al-Qaeda-inspired” but “selfradicalized.”

B.C. RCMP arrested John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody in Abbotsford at 2 p.m.

Monday afternoon after a fivemonth investigation that began in February.

The alleged homegrown terror plot is similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombers, who used pressure cooker bombs to send shrapnel through the crowd near the race’s finish line on April 15.

RCMP seized three explosive devices made from pressure cookers that contained nails, bolts, nuts and washers that were placed on the legislative assembly grounds.

Nuttall, 38 and Korody, 29, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity.

“These individuals were inspired

by Al-Qaeda ideology,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said. “Our investigation has determined this was a domestic threat without international linkages.”

The alleged motive of the two accused is not clear but there is no indication of any connection to Islamic beliefs or religion.

The RCMP says the pair “took steps to build explosive devices and place them at the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria where crowds were expected to gather on Canada Day.” The legislative lawn and inner harbour were crowded with an estimated 40,000 revelers for Monday’s Canada Day concert and fireworks. Police aren’t saying if undercover officers were working with the duo but Malizia said they were being closely monitored and police ensured the bombs were inert and could not detonate.

“While the RCMP believed this threat was real, at no time was the security of the public at risk,”

Malizia said. “We detected the threat early and disrupted it.”

The arrests were made after a joint investigation of the RCMP E Division, the Canadian Border Services Agency and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, dubbed Project Souvenir.

“I want to reassure our citizens that at all times during the investigation, our primary focus was the safety and protection of the public,” Malizia said.

Nor was the Canada Day crowd in Victoria the only potential target that may have been contemplated.

“The suspects were committed to acts of violence and discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques,” said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Wayne Rideout, adding they were “self-radicalized” and aimed to cause “maximum impact to Canadian citizens at the B.C. Legislature on a national holiday.”

A variety of covert investigation methods were used to control any method the suspects had to commit harm, he added.

Rideout said the bombs are believed to have been made in Surrey and at other locations in B.C. “As these devices were constructed we were in very tight control,” he said. “We were confident that public risk was absolutely minimized.”

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the two alleged terrorists have lived in Surrey for about 18 months and had a transient lifestyle.

Korody has no prior criminal charges, but Nuttall was convicted of robbery in 2003 in Victoria and received an 18-month conditional sentence. An addicted drug user at the time, Nuttall had hit a businessman on the head with a rock and stole his briefcase.

In March 2010, he was convicted of assault, mischief and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose – also in Victoria – and received a 60-day conditional sentence (house arrest) and one year of probation.

Nuttall and Korody appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday and make their next appearance July 9.

He said from his front porch looking through the station’s grate fence, it did not appear there was anyone there to take care of the situation.

“Why am I reporting it? The screams could be heard for blocks.

The operator at dispatch could hear the screaming over the roar of the buses,” said Taylor, who has been calling for TransLink to have eyes on the station during SkyTrain operating hours since 2011.

However, according to Transit Police spokeswoman Anne Drennan the child had stepped out of a SkyTrain car onto the platform just before the doors closed and the train whisked her mother away.

Drennan said a station attendant and a transit security employee stayed with the terrified child until the mother had an opportunity to get off at the next stop and return from the other direction.

“There was no domestic situation. She was very frightened and began screaming,” said Drennan.

“By the time New Westminster Police arrived, it had already been resolved.”

When told of Drennan’s comments, Taylor said he was surprised to hear there was an attendant at the scene.

But that doesn’t change his belief TransLink should be doing more to make the station safe.

“My core point is there should be

somebody there all the time,” said Taylor, a frequent user of the transit system.

there, and quite often there’s a transit police car.”

When he notified the NewsLeader of Saturday’s incident, Taylor said transit authorities should have been able to tell there was a problem because there are so many cameras at the site. But the cameras, he noted, create a false illusion somebody is watching.

“It’s obvious they’re not watching the [monitors]. People assume they’re watching and they don’t pick up the phone,” said Taylor.

Drennan said

TransLink has more than 1,000 cameras in the system and does not have the resources to monitor them at all times. She noted they’re more typically used for assessing crowd control needs and risks.

Taylor admitted in the past two years, many of the issues he raised have dissipated, although they haven’t disappeared entirely.

For instance, he would have liked TransLink to take the City of New Westminster up on its offer to provide portable toilets so people won’t urinate near the station.

Drennan said while much of the drug issues related to the station have been reduced they haven’t been eliminated.

“Those have been addressed in large part

by New Westminster police and transit police working together.” newsroom@ newwestnewsleader.com

Measles cases show up in Metro Vancouver

BEST JEWELLER?

One infected patient here exposed shoppers in Bellingham Three Metro Vancouver residents have contracted measles and health officials are urging the public to ensure their immunizations are up to date to help prevent

further spread of the virus.

The three cases to date are all on the North Shore or Bowen Island, but one of those patients went cross-border shopping in Bellingham last Saturday, potentially exposing people there to infection.

Vancouver Coastal Health officials are also tracing the three patients’ contacts on

this side of the border to alert others who are at risk, but haven’t identified specific places in the Lower Mainland where the public was exposed.

“We’re not worried yet about a general community-level transmission,” said medical health officer Dr. Réka Gustasfon.

She called the cases unusual in that they’re the first locally

INDIA

CELEBRATE. INSPIRE.YOUTH. elIte Youth tournaments Futures (U19), Showcase (16U)

Youth ClInICs

acquired measles cases here since a 2010 outbreak.

Advice and vaccinations are being offered to anyone who may have been in contact with those infected, but Gustafson said anyone who is unsure about their measles immunization can get the vaccine for free from doctors and clinics.

Whatcom County’s Health Department issued its own alert Thursday, warning that someone ill with measles could have transmitted the virus to other shoppers on June 22 at the Bellingham Costco between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and also at Bellis Fair Mall between noon and 4 p.m.

Gustafson confirmed that exposure came from one of the Metro patients who visited Bellingham.

“We informed individuals rather than the general public,” she said of exposures in B.C. “We feel we’ve been able to identify the highest risk contacts.”

Metro Vancouver rarely sees more than a single case of measles at a time, Gustafson

said, because of the relatively high population immunity here. But she noted there are neighbourhoods across the region where vaccination levels are lower and there’s a much higher risk of broader transmission within those pockets.

Measles are highly contagious starting one to two days before symptoms show up and continuing until four days after the classic measles rash begins.

“This means that patrons of Costco or Bellis Fair Mall could start to have symptoms between June 29 and July 13,” said the Whatcom alert.

Two doses of vaccine are required for lifelong measles immunity, and Gustafson said many people, particularly those 43 or younger, have had only one dose.

Anyone who develops measles symptoms – starting with a fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes – is urged to stay home and not expose others. twitter.com/jeffnagel

Baby boomers driving Lower Mainland downsizing trend The baby boomers have long been the drivers of trends, and as they age they still make a difference. A new report from Colliers International, commissioned by HJ Properties, shows that many of that generation are considering their options regarding downsizing from their family homes.

“The research really surprised me,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “I thought there would be a mass exodus to Kelowna, but that’s not happening.”

Instead, people looking to downsize in the Fraser Valley are considering how to stay in their neighbourhood, have money for retirement and help their children, all in one package.

Projects such as HJ’s Waterstone in Langley are thus very appealing to downsizers, Brown says. With larger floorplans and plenty of amenities nearby, buyers of all ages are finding something to love about their new home.

“Logic starts to win over magic,” Brown says. “People emotionally want to stay in a single-family home, but as the

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

baby boomers get older, they have different considerations.”

One of the largest considerations is security, both of their property and themselves.

“Having a neighbour looking out for you is important,” says Brown. “In a multi-family project, you don’t have as many worries.”

The report showed that price was the biggest deciding factor for most baby boomers.

“You can buy a multi-family home for about $400,000,” Brown says. “That doesn’t get you much in a single-family home.”

Brown notes that he did see a difference in how buyers in the Fraser Valley were downsizing versus those in Vancouver itself, adding that Fraser Valley downsizers had retirement higher on their list of priorities.

Another big reason the baby boomer generation is buying smaller homes?

“I’ve been told that many people are moving into a multifamily home as a defence against their kids moving back in with them,” laughs Brown.

Morningstar home.

“They feel more comfortable knowing that someone they know has had a good experience with us,” Calahan says.

Partington is perfectly located on Burke Mountain. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping and dining. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby.

Sales of Partington will open on July 6 at noon. Interested buyers are encouraged to preregister for more information at www. morningstarhomes.bc.ca. Calahan notes that she’ll send registrants a sneak peek before the start of sales.

The sales centre is located at 1508 Dayton Street in Coquitlam. For more information, visit the website or call 604-942-6370.

Partington showcases views on Burke Mountain

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes is once again at the top of their game with their latest project, Partington on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain.

“It’s really special up here,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “The views are pretty spectacular. It’s like being on top of the

world.”

Partington is a collection of 45 singlefamily homes with spacious floorplans and luxurious finishings, including a truly massive kitchen with a granite island and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring is included throughout the living areas, offset by the 19-foot vaulted ceiling, gorgeous floorto-ceiling linear fireplace and huge windows making the most of the views.

“Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home,” says Calahan. “We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.”

The four-bedroom homes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. Each comes with an unfinished basement and a large private yard with a patio or deck.

“We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan.

“We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.”

Partington is Morningstar’s eighth project on Burke Mountain, following the success of Kingston, Avondale, Somerton and many others.

“We were the first to pioneer a community on Burke Mountain,” Calahan says. “They really welcomed us with open arms, and it’s now a highly sought-after place to live.”

As the community grows, so does Morningstar’s reputation.

“The Morningstar promise is to make everything as seamless as possible,” Calahan says. “Buying a house is one of the biggest purchases of your life. We want to make it as stress-free as we can.”

She notes that they now get buyers preregistering who have heard about the homes through word-of-mouth from family and friends and who now want to live in their own
