The city believes it should be B.C. Supreme Court which should decide whether the company must respect Burnaby’s bylaws. “By choosing not to grant us our requested injunction, however, the Court has effectively deferred the decision to the National Energy Board,” he said. see ‘YeArS of deStruCtive Work’, A3

Burnaby schools reopening on Monday is “realistic,” said Burnaby school board chair Baljinder Narang. That is, if both teachers and school boards ratify the tentative agreement reached early Tuesday morning between the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. The six-year deal includes wage increases totalling 7.25 per cent, $105 million to cover retroactive grievances which the union can share directly with its members, and $400 million for hiring specialist and classroom teachers over the length of the agreement. It comes after teachers have been off the job for five weeks—two at the end of June and the first three weeks of the current school year. “You know what, we’re all on a high at the moment,” Narang said Tuesday, a few hours after learning of the tentative deal. Teachers were set to hold their ratification vote on Thursday. Please see ‘there WAS pAin All Around’, A10

Targeted women walking alone on Central Valley Greenway wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby RCMP have arrested a 42-year-old Burnaby man in connection with an alleged series of flashing incidents near the Central Valley Greenway. The man was arrested Monday, Sept. 15 and faces three counts of indecent acts. He was released, pending a court appearance, with conditions that he stays away from the greenway trail, parks or green space, say Burnaby RCMP. As reported in the NewsLeader, New Westminster resident Heather, who asked that her last name not be used, reported the latest of several such incidents to police on Sept. 5. “I’m so relieved,” Heather said of the news Tuesday. “I’m happy to have the use I’m so relieved. I’m happy of the trail back. I’m happy to have the use of the trail back. I’m happy to know the to know the person’s going to get help, that it’s not person’s going to get help. going to escalate. I’m just really happy that it’s been resolved.” In the incidents, she heard a man calling out to her while she walked on the greenway in Burnaby near North Road. When she looked up, the man was standing naked in a clearing on the south side of the Brunette River in the Cariboo Hill area. Burnaby RCMP took a closer look at the complaint and realized similar incidents were reported earlier but were originally believed to have been isolated cases. One was reported on March 24 around 5 p.m. in the same area while two other incidents were reported in late summer of 2013. The 2013 complaints came from two people—Heather and one other person, said Burnaby RCMP. Those were actively investigated but all leads were exhausted at the time. It appeared the suspect targeted women walking alone on the trail. The arrest came after an investigation by the Burnaby RCMP High Risk Offender Unit. Heather had taken to walking along the highway to avoid encountering the naked man while on the trail. She’s happy she can go back to enjoying the greenway again. She also appreciated that the officer assigned to the case kept her updated on the investigation. “I’m glad I spoke up and I’m glad that I reported it … Burnaby [RCMP] did a great job.” Any victims that have not already contacted police are asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 and quote file No. 2014-40870.

The ride is comprised of 31 local law enforcement and emergency personnel who will pedal 900 kms around the Sea to Sky corridor and the Sunshine Coast over the next eight days to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. This year’s cycling contingent includes two members from Burnaby RCMP, Wayne Baier and auxilliary officer Larry Wong.

“We, therefore, now look to the NEB to recognize and respect the validity of our bylaws as we consider how best to ensure that Kinder Morgan does not resume their destructive survey work in the park,” said Corrigan. And it’s not just the studies the company wants to do that are a concern. “Kinder Morgan’s actions to date represent the beginning of years of destructive work they propose to undertake in Burnaby, should their pipeline, tank farm and loading dock be approved.” Meanwhile, the company is taking a wait-and-see approach to Burnaby Mountain. It has applied to the NEB for an order allowing it to continue work without the city’s permission and despite its bylaws. “We’re satisfied with today’s decision from the BC Supreme Court denying the City of

Burnaby’s application for an injunction,” said Carey Johannesson, Trans Mountain’s project lead for land and right-ofway, in an emailed statement. “We maintain that the National Energy Board has jurisdiction in this matter and has given us the authority to undertake the work needed on Burnaby Mountain. We will await the NEB’s response to our motion filed on Sept. 3, before resumption of work.” Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart said in a press release, “Kinder Morgan does not have support in this community to run a pipeline under the Conservation Area or through residential neighbourhoods. “The worst thing Kinder Morgan could do right now is to resume work on Burnaby Mountain,” said Stewart. “This would inflame residents and provoke unnecessary conflict.”

Allan Dutton of Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE) said concerned residents from Burnaby and the North Shore gathered at Burnaby Mountain Wednesday morning in case the court decision resulted in the company resuming work. But most left once it was clear the company would stand pat until it received a decision from the NEB, Dutton said by email. Some broke up into smaller groups to continue monitoring the conservation area. “My understanding is that there will be more or less continuous monitoring and that if there is any activity everyone will be called to protect the mountain.” Residents also plan to organize workshops, led by civil rights lawyers, on how the park land can be protected under the law in the coming days, he said. twitter.com/wandaChow

IHIT has taken over the investigation of after a man was found dead outside of a Burnaby apartment Monday night.

IHIT investigates suspicious death at Lougheed-area apartment The death of a 23-year-old Burnaby man outside his Lougheed-area apartment on Monday night has been deemed suspicious, says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Just after 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, Burnaby RCMP responded to a report of a home invasion in the 3900-block of Carrigan Court. There they found the body of a man outside the

building. There were no other people found inside the home. The victim has been identified as Abdul Sarwari, 23, a resident of the apartment complex. An autopsy will be conducted in the coming days. “The victim’s cause of death has not been confirmed and the death is considered suspicious,” said Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of IHIT in a press release.

“IHIT currently has carriage of this investigation and are looking to speak with any witnesses who may have been in the area during this time.” Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or, to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Mary Gagnon of New Westminster captured this shot of a swallowtail butterfly in her garden last month, as it visited one of her petunias.

Merits of silver alert The devastating loss of Coquitlam grandfather Shin Noh hasn’t been enough to prompt the B.C. or the federal governments to consider setting up a silver alert program, yet it seems like such a simple — and good — idea. Modelled after Amber Alert for abducted children, a silver alert would be used when elderly people with dementia or Alzheimer’s go missing. In such a case, once the police have the facts in hand, a silver alert could be used to alert a wide range of media to relay information. It might not always result in the person being found, or might be overkill when someone loses track of a loved one and panics before finding them close to home, but on balance, a silver alert would speed up the dissemination of information, something which was a problem in the case of Shin Noh last September, when sightings came too late to be followed up on. Thankfully, not everyone is waiting for government to take action. A group of technically savvy individuals, including Michael Coyle of Coquitlam Search and Rescue, and supporters of the Noh family have formed BC Silver Alert, a citizen-run program that uses social media such as Twitter and Facebook to send out information, gleaned from police reports, about missing elderly people. This is a great idea, and although only in its infancy, has already been used in the case of a missing person in Richmond. But while we applaud this citizens’ effort, we worry it might not be as thorough and as farreaching as a government-run program with greater resources. While BC Silver Alert shows the community will take care of itself, we worry that when a life is at stake, community spirit and goodwill may not be enough. —Tri-City News

Upgrades could drive transit vote TransLink thinks a recent poll demonstrates that a referendum on transit spending is winnable. Despite the naysayers among the region’s mayors, who sometimes seem to be the biggest obstacle to transit improvements, the idea of a transit referendum makes a great deal of sense. Instead of ad hoc tax increases like the two cents a litre which mayors came up with at the last minute to help fund the Evergreen Line, residents will get a specific list of suggested transportation improvements and how they can be funded. They can then choose to accept or reject that proposal. The poll results indicate a majority of those paying attention to this issue would likely support added spending on transit. There is significant support in areas where transit is already a reasonable alternative to driving. But even in areas like Surrey and Langley with fewer transit options, there is decent support. However, the poll indicates south-of-the-Fraser residents are

Frank Bucholtz more opposed to additional taxes to fund TransLink. This is not surprising. People in this area are already paying bridge tolls – something that drivers in other parts of the region do not have to deal with, except on the rare occasion when they venture out on Highway 1 or cross the Golden Ears. The 35 per cent of south-ofthe-Fraser residents who oppose tax hikes also likely pay more in car expenses than many others. They likely pay higher fees for driving to work, put in more gas, and pay more to maintain their vehicles, which run up mileage faster than many cars owned by people in Vancouver or Burnaby. Interestingly, the two most popular tax options in the poll were universal bridge tolls, which would even out costs among

all vehicle owners, and a $75 vehicle tax, also a more evenlydistributed tax burden. Both received 27 per cent support. A one per cent rise in regional sales tax was less popular and a carbon tax had only 15 per cent support. Unlike many mayors, residents know the province isn’t giving any carbon tax revenue to TransLink and they will simply pay even more for fuel than they do now. SFU City Program Director Gordon Price, a former Vancouver councillor and transportation expert, says the referendum has a better chance if it’s framed about building for the future. If TransLink becomes a focal point, it has less chance of success. That’s likely even more true after a series of SkyTrain breakdowns and the revelation TransLink senior staff got hefty raises when there was supposed to be a pay freeze. Surrey could benefit from more transportation funding. The mayors’ ambitious plan calls for more rapid transit and significantly more bus service

south of the Fraser. For many Surrey residents to consider a “yes” vote, those improvements must be seen to be coming soon. There have been too many promises over the years that have been slow to materialize – such as rapid bus service over the Port Mann Bridge which only began for Surrey residents last week, with the #555 bus now making a stop at 156 Street. It took the concerted efforts of 18-year-old Daryl Dela Cruz to push the city into spending $193,000 to make the stop finally happen. It should have been done by the province as it was promised as part of the Port Mann Bridge. Nonetheless, it is now reality. Dela Cruz deserves thanks from Surrey residents. Hopefully he and other transit advocates will pay close attention to the promises made about improvements to transit here, as the referendum date nears.

COMMENT

Trustees can’t abandon duties Re: Education investment now could save larger costs later (guest column, NewsLeader, Sept. 5) With 35 years as a parent, teacher and Vancouver public school vice-principal, I would like to share some personal views with your readers—as school trustee Ron Burton has—during this election season. I am disappointed and surprised Mr. Burton’s submission made only passing reference to what I consider the most important element in the teachers’ strike: the continued interruption of education. I would have expected more concern for our students from an incumbent trustee. The available research evidence is that extended breaks in classroom routine cause disruption to learning with enduring effects on measured student achievement. Studies in particular conducted at the universities of Edinburgh and Rotterdam found work stoppages adversely affected achievement and

even resulted in an increased number of students repeating grades, through no fault of the students themselves. Studies in Ontario have also shown statistically significant correlations between teacher strikes and lower student math scores, with those students “marginalized” academically or socio-economically experiencing the worst of these effects. While I appreciate that B.C. boards of education and incumbent trustees like Mr. Burton have no power to influence the parties in the dispute, there are ways for incumbent trustees to help local public school children address negative effects of the dispute on later educational achievement. For example, I would have expected Mr. Burton to draw to the attention of Burnaby parents alternatives to in-school public education still open to children even as the strike continues. For example, the Ministry of Education’s on-line distributed learning program—

New from IKEA:

KÖRPORATE GRËED

administered through accredited institutions including the Traditional Learning Academy—remained unaffected by BCTF picketing. Homeschooling remained available too. I am also concerned public meetings of the Burnaby board of education in June and September were canceled. The board is a body charged with public business. Incumbent trustees cannot simply abandon their responsibilities, including planning for the budgetary consequences of the dispute, until after it is settled. Parents deserve to know their trustees remain on the job, even if they have no meaningful power to settle the dispute. Ben Seebaran Trustee candidate Burnaby First Coalition

Man killed on movie set in local park WorkSafeBC investigating Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

A man was killed while working on a Burnaby film set on Monday evening after an unattended truck rolled down a slope. The movie shoot was for the science-fiction TV show Falling Skies, by Invasion Productions. The accident happened at Robert Burnaby Park at about 8:30 p.m. Sept. 15, said WorkSafeBC spokesperson Scott McCloy. The victim was a security guard.

While the movie shoot was being set up, a five-ton truck was parked on a six-per-cent slope and left unattended, McCloy said. “The vehicle tailgate had been lowered to offload equipment and apparently it rolled backwards down the slope and the deceased was caught between the tailgate and a tree.” The worker was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where he was pronounced dead, said Burnaby RCMP, which confirmed it has seized the vehicle and will be conducting a mechanical inspection as is typically done.

The B.C. Coroner’s Service identified the victim as Amrik Singh Gill, 59, of Delta and confirmed it is investigating the incident. WorkSafeBC is investigating what happened and how it can be prevented in the future, McCloy said. “Our intent is to determine if there were any breaches of health and safety regulations that may have led to this unfortunate and very tragic incident.” This is the first fatality, to McCloy’s knowledge, since 1997 when a worker was killed on a film set near Squamish.

Actsafe, which promotes health and safety issues in B.C.’s motion picture and performing arts industries, issued a statement Tuesday saying it is awaiting further details from WorkSafeBC and will offer its support in preventing such a tragedy from happening again. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of this member of our community,” said Actsafe’s Geoff Teoli. “We extend our sincere condolences to their family, friends and co-workers during this difficult time.” twitter.com/WandaChow

If they vote in favour and the board signs off by Friday, “it’s reasonable” to expect Burnaby schools will reopen on Monday, Narang said, but that would be the earliest. Once the pickets come down, CUPE and other staff will be able to enter the buildings and begin prepping the schools for the school year. “I know we want to get back but I think we have to do it in a manner that is planned and people can actually get into that mindset again. We’re not going to be achieving anything more or less in trying to squeeze it in on Friday.”

There is still much in the way of preparations needed and it’s not known what the impact of cancelling summer school will be on some students, she said. And there are some staff changes that will also have to be accommodated. “There’s more questions at the moment than answers.” School didn’t end properly last June so many loose ends need to be tied up related to that as well. “In fairness, teachers are going to need a bit of time to wrap up where they left off.” And normally they have two months of summer vacation to prepare for the upcoming year,

Narang noted. “I did not think it would take this long,” she said of ending the teachers’ strike. “I’m sure there are going to be many, many lessons that are going to be learned from this experience. And I hope we are all the wiser moving forward. “There was pain all around. There was no British Columbian that was happy, whichever side you chose to be at … If everyone is unhappy with the situation, surely we can do it better.” Visit http://sd41.bc.ca/ to get the latest updates on when and how schools will reopen.

This week only when you spend $1.00 on a delicious chocolate chunk Smile Cookie, Tim Hortons will donate the entire proceeds to BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

B.C. school strikes have become such regular occurrences it appears they’ve now been infused into our popular culture. A new novel set during such a strike will be launched at the Chapters store at Metropolis at Metrotown mall on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m. The event is open to the public. The Naked Storyteller, written by B.C. author and parent Laura Michelle Thomas, is a romantic comedy about a middle-aged, Grade 6 teacher. The climax takes place on a picket line in front of a fictional Vancouver school.

The drop in homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations that have led to charges, according to the gang unit’s chief officer.

‘Significant decline’ in gang killings: annual report Jeff Nagel Black Press

A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline” in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com. The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from

the 36 gang murders committed in 2009. Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gangrelated individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said.The report’s release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million. Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which concluded in July. A decision is expected Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four targeted victims. But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings. And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015

as well. A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon was gunned down three years ago. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael

Kerry Hunter Jones and Jason Thomas McBride face firstdegree murder charges as well as four counts each of attempted murder.

▾ MYTH: The public is powerless against gangs. Reality: Be engaged and part of the solution. If you see something suspicious, whether it’s in a restaurant, mall parking lot, or in an isolated place, please phone 9-1-1 immediately so the police can investigate. Only with a community that cares and stands up to gangs and gang violence will we make a difference so our communities are safer.

Optimism that End Gang Life campaign will help ⫸

continued from page a11

CFSEU officials say next year could also see the start of a trial against Cory Vallee, accused in two murders – the 2009 shooting in Langley of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair and the 2008 shooting in Burnaby of Jonathan Barber, who was mistakenly targeted because he was installing a stereo in a car owned by a Bacon brother. Vallee, who was arrested in August in Mexico and quickly returned to B.C., also faces conspiracy charges in relation to a UN Gang plot to kill the Bacon brothers. Hackett said a joint CFSEUIHIT investigation also led to murder conspiracy guilty pleas last year against six UN Gang members and associates. He said the gangsters had been “ruthlessly hunting” members of the Bacon crime group in 2008-09, a period during which police efforts also prevented at least two more murders. “They displayed blatant disregard for public safety in what Crown counsel referred to as ‘human safaris’ while they targeted their rivals.” The six received sentences of seven to 14 years each and

although UN Gang leader Barzan Tilli-Choli could be out late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq.

Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car.

There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.

Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ inﬂuenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reﬂective signs collision technology.

In addition, Dunkirk, Bruges lane control keeps you on the and Brussels.” straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system. Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

1962 Ford Thunderbird. Marc Urbano photo

Four great classics for under $25,000

By Rob Sass

Driveway

The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca. With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that there isn’t a millionaires-only policy when it comes to classic cars. Here are four favourite all-American classics that can still be had for less than the price of a loaded new Ford Focus: 1948-49 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter planeinspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8. 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less. 1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mustang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly aged beautifully, looking just as fresh today as it did in April of 1964 at its New York World’s Fair introduction. Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price. 1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes LOW aS seems like there was nothing else on the road.RatES TheyaScan still provide reliable transportation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters $20,000 to $25,000.

A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Morningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.

The Village at Southwood delivers wow factor By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood. “South Surrey is one of the most soughtafter places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,

vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!” The three-bedroom homes at The Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious

curb appeal. Each home has a large private backyard for leisure time with the family. Inside, the spacious open floorplans range from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfinished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe finished basement or legal suite. The vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes. Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight. “The kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says. The Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-

steel appliances. Natural light is prevalent throughout the homes due to the huge windows. Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to the open feel and contemporary look of the home. Another stunning addition is the linear gas fireplace in the living area. Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head. “The ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “They feel so extravagant.” Morningstar is offering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat flooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fireplace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a stateof-the-art four-zone Sono audio system. “There’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.” The homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers. “There has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan. Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood. Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away. Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. The exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street. “It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.” For more information, visit www. mstarhomes.com, call 604-560-3450 or visit the presentation centre and three showhomes, located at 16708 23rd Avenue, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 6 p.m.
