Man charged in wife’s shooting death 77-year-old woman, family dog found shot dead in Saanich home Kyle Slavin News staff
A 71-year-old Saanich man faces one count of first degree murder while using a firearm in the death of his wife. Joseph Melvin Desroches was charged Tuesday night (March 18) via telebail in the fatal shooting of his wife, Rosa, 77, that occurred in their Cameo Street home earlier that morning. Saanich police Sgt. John Price said Desroches was arrested at 751 Cameo St. without incident around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, after police were called to the home to assist someone who needed medical attention. At some point before officers arrived, Price said the caller provided more information that led to a greater response. “A number of uniformed police officers responded to that 911 call, they contained the home, and as a result of providing the containment they subsequently called the resident out of the home. (The suspect) exited the home and was arrested and taken into custody without incident,”
Price said. He could not say whether the accused has been co-operative with investigators from the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit. Late Tuesday evening police obtained a warrant to search the home. Inside, they found the body of the deceased, as well as the family dog. Price said both had been shot. “They did find and seize a firearm that they believe is in relation to this incident,” Price said, but would not comment on the make or model of the weapon. In the coming days police anticipate a forensic autopsy will be conducted to determine the nature of injuries and exact cause of death. “I can tell you that there were reports of one or more shots fired, however I cannot comment on the actual method of her death. I can tell you it is a reported fatal shooting that’s being investigated,” Price said. A neighbour who has lived on the street for 16 years, who asked not to be identified, said he knew the older couple that lived in the home. He said he didn’t see the woman leave the house very often, and

Desroches told him he had a military background. Price said there are no documented mental health issues related to the home, and would not comment
on whether investigators are looking at mental health as a factor in the shooting. He said there is currently no known police history involving the suspect, including domestic violence calls. Desroches appeared
in court late Wednesday morning. He was remanded in custody until his next court appearance, scheduled for March 26. Neil MacKenzie, spokesperson for B.C. Crown Counsel, said the matter remains under review and
charges could change in the coming days. This is Saanich’s first murder in more than three years. On Jan 18, 2011, an elderly Cadboro Bay man killed his wife and then himself in their home. editor@saanichnews.com

Bishop Logan McMenamie is setting a new course for more than 8,000 Anglicans on Vancouver Island Kevin Laird News staff
When most eight-year-old Scottish boys were fixated on soccer, Logan McMenamie was pondering God. So it’s not much of a stretch to learn that McMenamie, 63, became the 13th bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C. earlier this month. But that’s just part of the story. How does a boy who grew up in the presbyterian-based Congregational Church of Scotland end up the spiritual leader for thousands of Anglicans from Victoria to Kingcome Inlet? “For me it was a surprise that I ended up in an Anglican church,” McMenamie says from his synod office at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria. “While I was in (theological) school I never thought I’d be bishop. I never committed to that idea.” Those around him thought otherwise. McMenamie says his father saw him as quite spiritual in nature from an early age. His only question now is why his son became an Anglican. Rev. Canon Sue House, an associate priest at Christ Church Cathedral, says McMenamie always possessed the qualities of a good bishop. “I think the world of Logan,” says House, who has known and worked with McMenamie for almost 30 years on Vancouver Island. “He’ll make an amazing bishop.” McMenamie grew up in Greenock, Scotland, outside of Glasgow. He met his wife Marcia, a Victoria resident, in Scotland. The pair moved to Canada, first to Vancouver, then Port Alberni. He returned to church after his wife started attending an Anglican parish in Port Alberni. Friends and colleagues he knew attended the same church. And that’s where
many things began to fall into place. He was ordained at age 37. McMenamie served as pastor in Port Hardy, Ucluelet, Duncan and Nanaimo before becoming rector and dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria seven years ago. As bishop, McMenamie will lead a diocese that has 43 churches, and serves more than 8,000 Anglican parishioners. McMenamie says his role won’t just be administrative. “The role of the bishop is that of shepherd,” he says. “A bishop must always be a pastor to his people.” He expects to travel to churches throughout the diocese, attending special events and forging ahead with new ideas to help them grow. In recent years, the dioDon Denton/News staff cese has been forced to Bishop Logan McMenamie became the 13th bishop of the Anglican close 11 parishes and real- Diocese of B.C. earlier this month.

Saanich and Victoria police officers will face off for a good cause Tuesday in the second annual Battle of the Badges hockey game. “It started as friendly Victoria-Saanich banter in the locker room,” said Const. Phil DiBattista of VicPD. That low-key rivalry evolved into the fundraising force, as the Victoria Police Capitals and the Saanich Police Watchdogs will play to raise money for charity. “It’s a lot of fun for us to play. We’re all colleagues and we work together all the time,” DiBattista said. “It’s good for us to get out there and just be part of the community, and invite the community to come out and see yes we’re police officers, but we’re part of the community.” “(Last year’s game) was well-received. We had almost a full arena at Pearkes,” said Saanich police Const. Damian Kowalewich, who played for the Capitals in the past. “We have more celebrities attending this year. Youth sensation Lily Cave, she’s singing the anthem, and of course Ace, our mascot, will come out for the kids.” Cliff LeQuesne from 100.3 The Q! radio station will serve as master of ceremonies and Ken “Hurricane” Himes will provide the music. “It’s all for the Special Olympics, every single minute of it,” Kowalewich said. “It’s important to promote the health and wellness for individuals from all walks of life.” Special Olympics athletes will get to hang out in the dressing rooms before the game, and even drop the ceremonial puck for the first faceoff of the night between the two new police chiefs: Bob Downie from Saanich, and Victoria’s Frank Elsner. “We’ve partnered with (Victoria Special Olympics) in the past,” DiBattista said. “We just thought we donate to them regularly, hockey’s fairly athletic and

Rethink recycling program The provincial push for a producer-pay recycling system is based on the concept of charging manufacturers whose products contribute to the waste stream, such as plastic packaging. But the soon to become governmentmandated program is going to penalize some unfairly, including citizens. For instance, it will hit the newspaper industry with a 20 cent per kilogram cost for its “packaging” – the very paper the newspapers are printed on. That vested interest aside, it’s debatable whether the new system will achieve its environmental goals, while simultaneously driving up costs for consumers. Although the MMBC collection system may have benefits for communities that currently do not have adequate curbside recycling programs, it is not needed in Greater Victoria, where the city has been achieving high rates of waste diversion through its own recycling collection. Maintaining Victoria’s current program is good for the environment, and residents who receive curbside pickup of glass containers and other recyclables that MMBC wants separated. Local consumers will effectively pay the cost of recycling twice, as producers build the price of the MMBC program into their products, and taxpayers foot the bill for curbside pickup. Though MMBC recently provided exemptions for small businesses, the program will negatively impact local economic engines such as berry farming, where consumer preference drives the use of plastic clamshell containers for retail sales – dumping the cost onto farmers, and ultimately, customers. This is a program that needs to be put on hold and reconsidered in its entirety. The News is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. If talking with the editor does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, contact the B.C.

‘Asinine subjects’ keep voters down Re: Politics is not entertainment (Opinion, March 14) In his novel Seeing, the 1998 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jose Saramago, proposes an interesting option for voter apathy and rebellion: voting in mass, but in blank. Voter apathy reflects the disconnection existing between the electorate and a political system based on narrow partisan loyalties, personalities, popcorn-and-fluff, showbiz, glitz, and plenty of money whereby differences among parties are mostly cosmetic. The elites donate to all political parties indistinctly because none of the parties represents a serious threat of change to the status quo. Voters have freely elected Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien, Rob Ford, Bill Vander Zalm and others who have taken us to wars of aggression, removed social safety nets, privatized our infrastructure, destroyed our national industry, created homelessness, closed hospitals and made soup kitchens necessary. In free societies, such as Canada, controlling people by open violence is not necessary when other ideological means are available that are far more subtle and successful than a bayonet or a club. A population immersed in asinine subjects such TV shows, mindless sports, gossip journalism and sensationalist crime stories cannot
possibly be expected to be discerning and alert when it comes to identifying the differences between competing political and class interests, including their own interest. Any political system that can form a federal “majority” government with 39 per cent of the votes in elections where 40 per cent of the people did not vote is a system that lacks legitimacy and can only exist by using deceit, manipulation and money. Voting is not the problem: lack of imagination, political education and civic culture is. Carlos Flores Victoria
Local governance key for taxpayers’ budgets Of all the levels of government that we are affected by in Canada, the municipal level is by far the one that impacts our lives the most: more than the Capital Regional District and the provincial and federal
governments. Our property taxes are often the biggest bill that property owners have to pay. Renters’ rents are affected by property taxes and so renters should be very concerned by city/ municipal governance. The City of Victoria’s property taxes have risen by about 27 per cent in the last five years (as it happens, the current mayor’s term of office) which is more than double our inflation rate. With such an impact on our lives, the younger generations would be wise to pay attention to our closest democratic representatives which are Victoria’s mayor and council. I applaud Lisa Helps for making the effort to recruit the younger generations to come and vote in our November municipal election as that is the way to make our city more affordable, sustainable and livable. Andrew Laks Victoria

Horgan vies for top NDP job, again Community kitchen in need of help to grow Kyle Wells News staff
Shelbourne program lets families keep food on table Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
With fingers crossed, the folks behind the Shelbourne Community Kitchen are optimistic they have secured a kitchen. “We have leased a very promising location on Shelbourne Street,” said Kim Cummins, program co-ordinator. Now they wait, as their application for a temporary use permit makes its way through the municipal machine. “We’re very hopeful that everything will go through. People have been very positive so far.” Shelbourne Community Kitchen officially launched in June 2013, when three churches and two community associations joined forces to establish a community kitchen where people can cook and share free meals. The kitchen acts as a central food bank for the neighbourhood. Members from Lutheran Church of the Cross, St. Luke’s Anglican Church, St. Aidan’s United Church, Mount Tolmie Community Association and Camosun Community Association signed a memorandum of understanding to create the Shelbourne Community Kitchen. Since June they have been working out of satellite kitchens, but have been looking for a permanent home. Shelbourne Community Kitchen was officially incorporated as a society on March 5, 2014. “We’re one step closer toward becoming a nonprofit,” Cummins said. In the meantime, they’re building up their volunteer base for their garden and kitchen programs. Part of the program is a self-selecting pantry that includes Fairway Market vouchers and groceries at Lutheran Church of the Cross. “We have almost 40 people who come and utilize the service,” Cummins said. In the kitchen setting, groups of five or six people learn to prepare healthy food and share meals, clean up together and take portions home. Participants gain new ideas about how to prepare delicious, nutritious meals on a budget. “We’re running satellite kitchens at this point … starting to test the waters and introducing people to what a community kitchen is,” Cummins said. The Shelbourne Community Kitchen hosts a meeting for potential new volunteers on Monday (March 24). The meeting is from 6 to 8 p.m. at St. Luke’s Hall (3821 Cedar Hill Cross Rd.).

His announcement, made Monday in his Juan de Fuca constituency, is an about-turn from the MLA’s October 2013 decision not to run. He said at the time he wanted to “get out of the way of our younger members.” “I’ve been approached consistently, almost daily, to re-consider my decision,” Horgan told the News. “I’m seeing a broad consensus emerging that what we need is strong leadership to take on the Liberals in 2017, and I believe, and many, many others believe, that I fit that bill.”

Fossil Fair highlights 150-million-year-old history Palaeontology event brings dinosaur bones, cast of oldest bird ever to Swan Lake sanctuary Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
A diverse variety of ancient and “younger” fossil animals and plants from the Cambrian period (550 million years ago) to the end of the last Ice Age (10,000 years ago) will be on display this weekend in Saanich. The Victoria Palaeontology Society holds its 18th Fossil Fair on Saturday and Sunday at Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary. “This is our society’s annual outreach public education event telling people
about the importance of fossils,” said Tom Cockburn, chair of the Victoria Palaeontology Society. Fossils on display range from locally found to beyond B.C. borders, and include dinosaur bones, ammonites, trilobites, corals, mollusks, insects, giant palm leaves and microscopic fossils. A special display includes information and fossils surrounding the relationship between dinosaurs and birds. “We just happen to have one person who has quite a bit of expertise about this,” Cockburn said. The expert, Gary Kaiser, a research associate at Royal B.C. Museum, will be on hand to answer questions. “We don’t have a lot of bird fossils because they are pretty fragile and rare,” Cockburn said. “They’re all at the museum so we can’t really be exhibiting

“We have a very nice cast of one of those fossils. It’s quite large, about 17 inches by 14 inches. So it’s very visible and shows a lot of the bones and that,” Cockburn said. Admission to the event by donation and also offers kid-friendly activities, such as a scavenger hunt, fossil rubbings and peering at the tiniest of fossils through microscope. “We hear parents say, ‘We came for the kids’, but parents come and really start asking questions. It’s for all ages,” Cockburn said. “We have a wide range of fossils so there’s always something for people to see.” The society also invites the public to bring in fossils for identification.

Firewall sparks new ideas
COMING SOON
Target Theatre puts seniors, tech in spotlight Natalie North News staff
The Belfry Theatre’s sixth-annual SPARK Festival is one of “new plays and new ideas” – a tagline that couldn’t ring truer for Target Theatre. For nearly 30 years the company of older adults has been committed to providing a voice for seniors, and over the last two has become more in tune with their own as they developed their latest piece through the Belfry’s incubator project. “We’ve explored things we haven’t done before by creative writing,” says Target Theatre member Susan Wilkey. “Every word is done by us. We’ve literally exposed our soft underbellies and had all sorts of things come out of us.” Since 1986 Target Theatre has developed a repertoire of plays intended to entertain and inform. Works aimed at
exploring attitudes towards seniors and their role in the community, have covered everything from online fraud to prostate cancer. Wilkey who acts, writes and directs, had volunteered with Target for two years when the group decided to take a chance and apply for development assistance through the incubator project. She was among the group of about 12 players who met with Geoffrey Ewert, a facilitator provided by the theatre to introduce different methods of generating material and help shape their words into Firewall, a fusion of nostalgia and technology. “They sometimes say to amuse seniors, give them puppies or small children,” Wilkey says. “(But) we actually have acting and it’s been a delight. We meet every Tuesday morning and it’s been a wonderful thing to experience. We’re try-

ing out every skill that we have.” The result was a kind of collage piece, infused with technical elements of staging that delivers an unexpected punch. Firewall, now playing, is among five big shows, including plays from Toronto’s Outside The March Theatre and EW&FCO, Halifax’s 2b theatre, and locals B101 Live, a group of high school students who have been watching Belfry plays and working alongside Ewert to create their own masterpiece. Tickets to these shows range from $10-$20. The festival includes professional development workshops, and more than 40 free events, including mini plays and this Saturday’s midway party bursting with theatre, dance and prizes. All of the details can be found at belfry. bc.ca/spark. The festival wraps March 30. arts@mondaymag.com

With one term on Saanich council under her belt, it was this week in 1996 that Ida Chong, a relative newcomer to politics, won the B.C. Liberal party’s nomination to run in the NDP-held Oak Bay-Gordon Head. The article in the March 20 edition of the Saanich News describes the Thursday night vote by Liberal cardholders that saw Chong, an accountant, beat two-time candidate Paul McKivett. “Signs in the air, rising and falling with a chanted name. IDA. IDA. IDA. There were McKivett signs too, but their holders had neither the energy or the numbers of that other chanting mob,” the story reads. By the time the 575 ballots were tallied, Chong came away with 62 per cent of the vote.
the first-ever provincially elected Green Party member. Last August, the Liberal government appointed Chong to the University of Victoria board of governors. The following month she took a position on the board of directors for the Rick Hansen Foundation. In a recent interview with the News, Chong said she hasn’t ruled out another run at politics, but does not yet want to comment on whether that would be at the municipal, provincial or federal level. In October 2012, Cull ran unsuccessfully for the NDP nomination in the federal riding of Victoria, losing to Murray Rankin, who went on to get elected. McKivett is now president of the Saanich Legacy Foundation. editor@saanichnews.com
“Chong’s speech was emotional, calling for unity and looking toward what promises to be a tough election,” the News article reads. “’We’re just getting started,’ Chong promised. ‘Our next step now is to defeat Elizabeth Cull and the NDP.’” On May 28, 1996, Chong defeated Cull in a tight race where just 640 votes separated the two candidates. The Liberal MLA spent her first term in opposition, before the Liberals won the 2001 election. Chong was elected again in 2005 and 2009. Her last term as MLA did not come without its challenges, as she was targeted for recall by HST opponents. That recall attempt failed. On May 14, 2013, Chong lost her long-held Oak Bay-Gordon Head seat to Andrew Weaver,

PLAYOFF PREVIEW Royals take home ice advantage into playoffs GAME 1 Saturda y
By Jennifer Blyth Hockey fans are in for a treat Saturday as the Victoria Royals drop the puck on the first round of the 2014 Western Hockey League playoffs – with home-ice advantage. While the Royals had some early-season injuries to work through, the players came together successfully as a team, buying into the systems the coaching staff had set out last year, says general manager Cam Hope. Even mid-season trades like Axel Blomqvist and Travis Brown were carefully selected not only for their hockey skills but also their ability to fit in right away with their new teammates and coaches. “Honestly, (our success) has come from the players committing themselves – the guys have committed to having a winning season. We don’t have a player in the top points in scoring in the WHL; we do it with every player on the ice doing what they’re supposed to do,” Hope says. Defenseman and captain Jordan Fransoo agrees. “I think the strength of the team is the team itself, having 20 guys going on the ice every night working well together.”

DON’T MISS THE ACTION!
Join the Victoria Royals in Game 1 of their 2014 WHL Playoff run, Saturday, March 22, when the team takes on the Spokane Chiefs. The puck will drop at 7:05 p.m. at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. Game 2 goes Sunday, March 23 at 5:05 p.m. The Royals are on the road in Spokane March 26 and 27 but play-by-play announcer Marlon Martens will keep fans up to date on the Zone@91.3. If needed, Game 5 is scheduled in Victoria for
Saturday, March 29 at 7:05 p.m., Game 6 will go March 31 in Spokane and Game 7 is Wednesday, April 2 back at Save-in-Foods Memorial Centre at 7:05 p.m. Heading into the playoffs with a string of soldout home games that has pushed the Royals into the top 10 in the WHL for attendance, “it’s been electric at the rink,” says Devin Mazur, the Royals’ Director of Ticketing. “The players feed off the crowd and the atmosphere. Going into the playoffs, our goal is to continue to give the players that
Where the Royals have enjoyed some individual stand-outs is between the pipes, where Coleman Vollrath and Patrik Polivka have shone all season. The two finished the regular season ranked third and fifth respectively in the WHL with save percentages of 0.928 and 0.915. “I think we’ve got two of the best goalies in the country and right now both of them have been playing very well.” The team has significant momentum heading into playoffs, including wins against some of the top teams in the league. “When you’re winning it changes everything,” Hope says, noting that preparation for playoffs will likely continue as it has for games all season for both players and coaches. After all, as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke... “It will be the same sort of preparation as always. The coaches really do their homework,” Hope says. As for the players, “they have shown they can play with and beat the best teams in the WHL and now it’s time to do the same in the playoffs.” The importance of the home-ice advantage is significant – giving the boys in blue a little extra push in their skates, and upping the intimidation factor for opponents who know they’ll have to work extra hard to win at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, notes Fransoo. Hope agrees. “I think it’s really important, especially this year when we have our own rink, and when we fill it like we have done the last few games. The fans have really taken to this team – they’re really behind this group of players – so it’s a pretty imposing place for opponents to play.”

Regular season stats wrap-up The Victoria Royals were firing on all cylinders through the second half of the season, putting together an impressive string of wins, even during their grueling February road trip through the Prairies. When the final whistle blew on the regular season last Friday night, the team finished second in their division and third in the Western Conference, with a record of 48 wins, 20 losses, one overtime loss and three shoot-out losses. While the team relied on all its offensive players to put the puck in the net, their goalies stood out between the pipes, sharing duties throughout the season to finish ranked third and fifth in the WHL. With 20 wins and eight losses, Coleman Vollrath brings into playoffs a Goals Against Average of 2.29 and a Save Percentage of 0.928. Goalie partner Patrik Polivka has 28 wins and 12 losses, with a GAA of 2.56 and a Save Percentage of 0.915. The Royals finished 13th overall in the WHL in their
powerplay percentage and seventh for their penalty kill. Showing discipline when they needed it, the Royals recorded an average of just 13.8 penalty minutes per game, the best in the BC division. Leading the scoring for the team was left-winger Austin Carroll with 34 goals and 23 assists, while rightwinger Brandon McGee was the overall points leader with 67 points in 65 games. Defenseman Travis Brown racked up the most points from the blueline at 53, with 14 goals and 39 assists.

Erin Cebula, Spokesperson
For a brief weekend every two years, figure skaters at the Racquet Club of Victoria Skating Club forget about landing a triple Salcow, lutz and axel. Instead, more than 60 skaters from five years old to professional international competitors will take over Archie Browning Sports Centre this weekend for an entertainment-first production of Aladdin On Ice. “Our skaters work so hard all year at the national and international level, so every two years to have this, it’s a total change,” said Matt Willis, assistant director for Aladdin and skating club coach. “You’re not thinking about the technical and what judges want to see. All you’re worried about is entertaining an audience.” Willis said anyone who attended the club’s Grease production in 2011 will remember the calibre of costumes, professional lighting and worldclass production co-ordinated by director Deena Beacom during the fundraising performances. “It’s not just coming to support the club. You’ll realize this is a full-on show, and bigger than most shows you’d expect to see in Victoria on ice,” Willis said. Showtimes are Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday, at 1 p.m. at the Archie Browning Sports Centre, 1151 Esquimalt Rd. Tickets are $15 and available through the MacPherson Box Office at 250-386-6121 or the Archie Browning Sports Centre at 250-412-8510. See racquetclubofvictoria.com for more information on the club. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Medical fax story prompts changes at imaging clinic A medical imaging clinic is changing its fax number and notifying doctors of privacy rules after a Victoria man received hundreds of private medical imaging requests to his home fax machine. After the News exclusively told David Mason’s story last week, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner followed up with both Mason and the intended receiving clinic, whose fax number differed from Mason’s by one digit. “The clinic has decided to change its fax number,” said Cara McGregor, privacy commissioner spokesperson. The new fax number, along with privacy guidelines for faxing and emailing personal information, is being distributed by the clinic to all relevant physician offices, McGregor said. Mason received more than 200 medical imaging requests to his home fax machine since 2005. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Q: WHAT ARE SOME POINTERS FOR THE MOVING PROCESS? If you’re using a moving company, get three quotes – Check their rating with the Better Business Bureau and ask them to come to your home first to help avoid surprise charges Separate your ‘immediate need’ boxes – Keep items you use daily apart from other boxes for quick access Buy enough supplies and collect boxes ahead of time if you’re packing – Running out when you’re nearing moving day adds one more job to an already busy time Start out right in your new home, consider the elements of feng shui – Don’t simply move the clutter from your old home to the new one. Seriously think about getting rid of items you haven’t used or looked at in a year or more Do you have a homebuying or selling story you’d like to share with us?

NET UNCONDITIONAL SALES, MONTH-TO-DATE NEW LISTINGS THIS MONTH TOTAL ACTIVE RESIDENTIAL LISTINGS TO MARCH 19
BUYING TIP | Read a blank sales agreement ahead of time to familiarize yourself with what’s involved
Checklists handy when moving time comes Being organized can go a long way toward reducing your stress level
can happen: the seller can reject it, they can counter with a different price, or they can accept it. Regardless of the seeming simplicity of the transaction, it can still be a stressful time, Hircock says. “It takes time and sometimes there’s multiple offers. Explaining that process, letting a client read through a blank contract of purchase and sale, helps people have at least a general understanding of the process (going in).” When the moving date is confirmed, people can do various things to prepare, says Cathy Haynes, the Downsize Diva. One of her first suggestions? If you plan to use movers, book them early (mid-month specials are often available). If you plan to pack your own boxes, use strong ones that can close at the top and be stacked and list contents clearly on the side. As for the aforementioned service transfers, book well ahead so as not to have service interrupted. Other items to change include licences and insurance, credit cards, bank information, subscriptions and getting your mail forwarded to the new address for up to six months. If those are the “must-dos,” Haynes says, the “nice-to-dos” include leaving things for your home’s buyer, such as warranties and instruction manuals for appliances and dated invoices for major renovations. “You also want to let them know where the shutoffs are for the water, and leave behind paint cans from recent painting jobs for touchups,” she says. “It’s also nice to leave the names of a couple neighbours, especially the Block Watch captain; your favourite cafés and maybe a parks and rec booklet. Oh and don’t forget the remotes for the garage doors.” Overall, a little forward planning can help make the moving process a pleasure rather than a chore.

For home buyers, moving can be stressful, no matter if one is a firsttime purchaser, scaling down to a smaller place or moving up to a larger home. If you want to remove a fair chunk of that stress, there are various strategies for reducing it. And the nice part is, most can be utilized long before the sales agreement is signed or the moving company is booked. Barbara McDonell with Clutter Queen Services often works with people to get rid of unwanted items in advance of move. “I get them look at one item and ask, ‘do I love it and do I use it?’ If not, they should seriously consider donating it or selling it,” she says. “If they can’t answer right away that they love it, they usually don’t.” She recommends starting with large items to maximize downsizing efforts and get you thinking about whether your old furniture will fit in the new place. Another area ripe for decluttering, she says, is storage lockers. “I find that people are paying a lot of money for (outside) storage. People will often discover things they haven’t used in ages and may never use again, like 30 copies of a university thesis. If you don’t get rid of it, you’re paying to move it, if you happen to be gong to another city.” By the time you’re ready to start looking seriously for a new home – maybe you’ve already found one that fits your needs – there are certain logistical steps to take.
Don Descoteau/News staff
Packing up your belongings early, or getting rid of unwanted items, is an action that can make your life easier ahead of a move. Once clients settle on his services, says Realtor John Hircock, he works with people to find out where they are in the buying procedure. “I do a bit of an interview to see if they’re pre-approved (for a loan) and who their mortgage broker is,” he says. “I want to make sure they have a little better understanding of the process.” He helps clients understand what they need to have in place before they buy, but also has a good checklist that includes other service providers who can help make buying a home a smooth experience. “The real estate agent is just one of the professionals that people are going to use,” Hircock says, listing such tasks as hiring a home inspec-
tor and a moving company, and having documents vetted and signed by a lawyer or notary public. “There’s a whole bunch of people who are going to be involved in that transaction, perhaps even an accountant.” Part of the package he offers includes a closing costs worksheet to help eliminate surprises or underestimation of the funds needed to complete a deal. “You need to have a bit of money set aside to transfer your services (such as hydro, cable, phone and home heating) in addition to all the closing costs, like the property transfer tax (for which exemptions are available for firsttime buyers).” Once the house search gets down to the offer stage, only three things
