‘SUSPECT’ EBOLA CASES ARE CAUSING CONFUSION ▼ SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL STAFF MISUNDERSTAND SCREENING PROCESS: HEALTH OFFICIAL

JEFF NAGEL

A Fraser Health official is denying claims from nurses that another suspect Ebola case was mishandled at Surrey Memorial Hospital Wednesday, putting staff and patients at risk if the deadly virus had actually been present.

According to nurses, the patient was in contact with many staff and other patients before being isolated for further assessment and ultimately ruled out as an Ebola case.

But Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser’s executive medical director for infection prevention and control, insists there have been no breaches of protocol in the handling of patients initially feared to have Ebola and says there’s some confusion among staff.

“There’s enormous anxiety about this,” Brodkin said. continued on page 15

▼ SURREY MAN SENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS IN JAIL FOR LANGLEY CARJACKING, FOLLOWED BY 10 YEARS INTENSE SUPERVISION

PHOTO SUBMITTED

SHEILA REYNOLDS

A convicted rapist living in Surrey has been designated a long-term offender by a B.C. Provincial Court judge, meaning he will be strictly monitored for a decade following his jail term.

Andrew Aurie Jefferson, 29, was in court Friday morning to face sentencing for a June 2013 violent carjacking in Langley. But due to his criminal history, Crown prosecutors also wanted Jefferson deemed a long-term offender – status sought when a felon is likely to re-offend and puts the community at risk.

Judge Michael Hicks sentenced Jefferson to four years in jail for the Langley carjacking, for which Jefferson pleaded guilty to robbery in January.

In that incident, a woman was in a parking lot heading for her car when Jefferson, high on cocaine, approached her from behind and said, “You are being stabbed. I am taking your car.”

He pointed a small, Andrew Jefferson dull-bladed knife into her stomach, the court heard, and when she dropped her keys, Jefferson grabbed them, got in her car and sped off.

A witness called 911 and police apprehended him shortly after. He’s been in prison since.

Hicks said the victim suffers long-term impacts from the attack, including anxiety, loss of sleep, heightened fear and suspiciousness of others.

With credit for the 500 days Jefferson has already been in custody for that crime, about two years, seven months remain of the fouryear sentence.

The judge then addressed Jefferson’s lengthy and violent criminal past to assess his future risk.

‘Homeless heroes’ honoured by Surrey ▼ SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE WERE HONOURED THURSDAY KEVIN DIAKIW

Five people have been named heroes of the homeless at a celebration Thursday night at the Newton Cultural Centre.

The Annual Heroes of the Homeless Awards, hosted by the Homlessness and Housing Society, were created to honour those who go out of their way to help the homeless and those at-risk of homelessness.

This year, Keys Housing dentists Dr. Carl Hensel and Dr. Kary Taylor were recognized for their work in North Surrey.

Dr. Hensel says his dental skills are a humanitarian service and after 43 years, he loves his work.

He has been a dentist for 43 years and loves it.

Taylor, who has been practising for 31 years, began working with Keys last year. Both provide dental services to the homeless and those who can’t regularly see a dentist.

Robert Bosa was also honoured for his work with Surrey Urban Mission Society (SUMS).

He heard SUMS was feeding hundreds of people each month without a proper kitchen facility.

Within days, Bosa had arranged to completely upgrade their kitchen, not just providing all of the commercial equipment, but also having everything installed, including plumbing, floors and electrical.

Venessa Bentley and the White Rock Elementary Fine Art Firsties were also named for their work in memory of a local homeless man.

Ryan had lived his entire life in their neighbourhood and was well known in the community.

Last year, he died.

Children who knew him described how sad they were about this and that they wanted to do something to help other homeless people.

They came up with the idea of making clay hearts. They called them “Hearts for Hope” and sold them at their local farmers’ market.

They raised $970.

The students wanted to give their money to someone who could help homeless people so they donated the money to Homelessness and Housing Society.

And Bill Reid was also named a homeless hero posthumously.

Dubbed the “Mr. Cloverdale,” Reid was well-known for his dedication to the community.

He became known as Mr. Surrey because he got involved in everything. Reid also cared deeply about the homeless in Cloverdale.

As president of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, when his community started to complain about the homeless people that were hanging around on the streets, Reid didn’t try to move them along. ▶ Dentists, Instead, in response to a students and ‘Mr. health scare within the homeless community, Bill raised monSurrey’ among ey to convert a space to showers those recognized so that the homeless could get clean and dry. for their Reid’s wife Marion received contributions. the award on behalf of her late husband.

Trio arrested after car chase

▶ TWO STOLEN FORD ESCAPES SPED THROUGH FOUR MUNICIPALITIES BEFORE BEING STOPPED IN SURREY KEVIN DIAKIW

Driving cars that betrayed their name, three people in two Ford Escapes have been arrested after a dramatic chase through four municipalities Friday morning.

Just after midnight, a Chilliwack man reported his car stolen and witnesses helped RCMP locate it and another Escape in that city.

The two stolen cars took off heading down Highway 1, through Abbotsford, Langley and into Surrey.

Once the cars began to speed excessively, Mounties broke off the chase and allowed po-

lice helicopter Air One to continue pursuit.

One of the cars drove into a ditch at 156 Street and 64 Avenue. The single occupant was unharmed and arrested without incident.

The 27-year-old South Surrey driver is known to police.

The second vehicle continued and was seen pulling into a parking lot in the 7100-block of Hall Road.

The male driver and female passenger fled of foot.

With the assistance of police dog services, the two were located and arrested.

The 34-year-old driver from Langley, and his passenger, a 23-year-old from Delta, are known to police.

All three suspects were arrested on multiple charges of possession of stolen property, flight from police, dangerous driving and breach of conditional sentence order.

offences as a youth, it was in 2006, when he was 22, that he committed his most

heinous crimes. It was then that he terrorized a Calgary neighbourhood called Falconridge, violently raping two women and attempting to rape a third. Jeffer-

son was dubbed the “Falconridge rapist.”

He served six-anda-half years in jail before being released on probation in 2011 to live in Surrey, with a public warning that

he was an “untreated sex offender.”

In 2012, he was also charged with sexually assaulting a teen in Surrey, but found not guilty earlier this year.

In court in August, Jefferson apologized for his crimes and vowed he was turning his life around, having steered clear of drugs of late and completed a violence prevention program while in prison.

But on Friday, Judge Hicks said Jefferson still has a long way to go.

“There is a substantial risk that Mr. Jefferson will re-offend,” he said, saying he “must” be designated a long-term offender.

The purpose of the sentence was not intended to penalize Jefferson, said the judge, but to provide adequate support so he may eventually be rehabilitated.

Long-term offender status differs from dangerous offender status in that a long-term offender faces strict community supervision for a maximum of 10 years, while a dangerous offender may be sentenced to an indefinite prison term.

The extra designations can be applied for by prosecutors during sentencing.

Such an application was not made in the case of convicted rapist Raymond Caissie, who served his time and was living in Surrey when he was charged with murdering 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch last month.

▼ MAY PARKING TICKETS COME YOUR WAY, LAZY LORD TWEEDSMUIR PARENTS

To all the parents who are upset they must wait to drop their kids off in front of Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary – give your heads a shake. You are your own worst enemy. Make your kids walk a block or two. I am sure they can use the exercise.

I happen to live in this area and I speak for all of us who are fed up with you people blocking our driveways so that we cannot even get out in the morning to go to work or come home without fighting through the mass traffic jams that you are creating and have been doing so for years.

Your parking habits are illegal and you are teaching your kids to disobey the rules because you feel entitled and you are lazy.

When you are parked on the street for over 15 or more minutes to wait for your “adult child,” that is not considered stopping, that is considered parking.

I can only hope that all of you get tickets. And I will do my best to call traffic enforcement to see that they show up.

▼ NOT SURE ABOUT SURREY FIRST’S PICK FOR MAYOR

▼ NEW NAMES ON CIVIC BALLOT LISTS INSPIRE HOPE

While she may have been okay as a councillor, I wonder about Linda Hepner as mayor.

When questioned by a radio interviewer, she stumbled when trying to explain why the Surrey First campaign signs were erected so early.

In another comment, she suggested that revenue from population growth and development would help to pay for the increase in police numbers needed in Surrey.

Isn’t it the rapid population growth and uncontrolled pace of development the reason for the need for more police?

In my view, these are not the traits of a leader such as is required today in Surrey.

Re: “Oil protest a slippery slope for cities,” (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher’s analysis of jurisdiction regarding pipeline expansion and oil distribution in B.C. ignores one important fact. I have one postal address and one primary residence, one planet on which to live.

I also am governed by three political jurisdictions that are supposed to manage “the common good” on behalf of all. None do so.

I pay taxes and idealize that some official somewhere will handle environmental issues in sustainable ways. Not so.

Such leaders are situated within non-government organizations – who also want money. No wonder I am an alienated citizen, disgust-

VIEWPOINT

One last holdup on railway tracks BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

“Hands up.”

That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when

CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way.

“I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature.

“The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990).

Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. pre-

mier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University.

He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

Chilliwack man arrested in sex assault of Surrey child ▶ CORY SCHAUMLEFFEL CHARGED IN AUGUST KIDNAPPING AND ATTACK KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey police say they arrested and charged the wrong man in the sexual assault of a nine-year-old girl in August.

On Sept. 2, police arrested Donovan Christopher Adams, of no fixed address, for the crime and charged him with break and enter and committing an indecent act.

Police now say they had the wrong man and have arrested Chilliwack’s Cory Schaumleffel, 28, in connection with the girl’s attack.

He has been charged with

kidnapping, sexual assault, sexual interference, committing an indecent act and break and enter with intent. He made his first court appearance last week in connection to the incident and remains in custody.

On Aug. 27 the girl was lured out of the window of her home near 99 Avenue and 128 Street and taken to a nearby park, where she was sexually assaulted. She was then taken to a nearby yard, where she was told by the attacker to remain until he left. The child complied, but then ran home.

Adams was originally arrested after he confessed shortly after the crime.

Surrey RCMP Supt. Trent Rolfe said it became clear Adams admitted to something he didn’t do.

“Despite Mr. Adams’ comments implicating himself, the physical evidence did not confirm this and actually led the investigation in another direction,” Rolfe said in a release. “As more evidence was unearthed, it became apparent that Mr. Adams had confessed to a crime he did not commit.”

Late last week, RCMP applied for a stay of proceedings, dropping all charges against Adams.

While the investigation unfolded, forensic evidence indicated Schaumleffel might be involved in the incident.

On Sept. 13 he was arrested in another jurisdiction on an unrelated matter and was either held in custody or under house arrest until he was re-arrested on Oct. 13 by the Surrey RCMP.

Man found dead in Surrey home ▶ MURDER MARKS CITY’S 13TH THIS YEAR KEVIN DIAKIW

Homicide investigators are looking into the murder of a man at a

Whalley rooming house on the weekend.

At about 8:40 p.m.

Sunday, paramedics were called to the home in the 11000-block of 136 Street.

On arrival they found a deceased man in his 50s. They called Surrey RCMP, who promptly

handed the investigation over to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

The victim’s identity and cause of death had not been released as of Monday morning.

It is Surrey’s 13th murder of the year, bringing the number of

killings up to the average reached between 2003 and 2012.

said Wednesday the province will legislate rates for container truckers, retroactively, and indicated the current number of 2,000 licensed trucks could drop to about 1,500.

Too many trucks now chase too few loads, according to Port Metro Vancouver planning vice-president Peter Xotta, causing “intense competition” between firms, insufficient work for truckers and under-cutting on agreed-upon rates.

Reducing the number of licensed operators is expected to create a better balance.

A 28-day strike by container truckers last spring ended on government promises of a range of improvements, including minimum rates and compensation for long waits at terminals.

A cut in the number of container trucks licensed to serve Port Metro Vancouver is expected to help stabilize the drayage business. PORT METRO VANCOUVER

But unionized truckers had warned over the summer another strike was possible without enforcement of the rate floor to prevent undercutting by some

trucking companies.

Truckers now licensed to haul containers in and out of container terminals will be invited by Port Metro Vancouver to apply for new licens-

Correspondence addressed to Mayor and Council will form part of the public record for this Public Hearing.

▶ GOVERNMENTS REGULATING FOR ECONOMIC STABILITY, TRUCKERS’ PRESIDENT SAYS from page 8

Port officials aren’t yet saying how they’ll decide who is in and who is out of the new licence system.

B.C. Trucking Association President and CEO Louise Yako said the new requirements aim to encourage responsible conduct and deter marginal operators who make the business more volatile.

“They want to set the financial barriers high enough that it reduces the likelihood that trucking companies are going to have a race to the bottom by reducing their rates and thereby reducing compensation to drivers,” Yako said.

Most BCTA members would much prefer unrestricted competition, she said.

But Yako said repeated strikes have spurred the senior governments to deviate from national

Sexual assault suspect sought ▼ NORTH DELTA INCIDENT IN JULY BLACK PRESS

Delta Police are seeking the public’s help in locating the suspect of a sexual assault that allegedly took place during the summer.

Police say the incident happened near 76 Avenue and 120 Street Sex assault on July suspect.

They released a photo of the male suspect in hopes of identifying the individual.

policy and regulate for economic stability, not just safety and the environment.

“I think there is grudging acceptance that a free and competitive marketplace at this time is not feasible for the sector.”

The provincial and federal governments have also invested billions in port and transportation infrastructure in Metro Vancouver to assure reliable goods movement through the port, which handles 130 million tonnes of cargo a year.

How well the reforms work will ride heavily on the implementation of recommendations tabled by consultants Vince Ready and Corinn Bell, she said.

Not all trucking firms are expected to join the new system, which is to be up and running by Feb. 1.

Yako predicted pure drayage companies – that only haul from

container terminals – will mostly seek new licences while many hybrid operators will voluntarily exit and shift their trucks to serve other business lines.

Trucking companies are being promised aid during the transition to the new system, which will include the creation of a new Container Trucking Commissioner to oversee future licensing.

Other reforms introduced this year have included night openings of terminals to cut congestion and installation of GPS units in all trucks to improve efficiency and record excessive waits.

Finding a viable fix for the industry has been complex, in part because of the variety of different union and non-union operations, some paid on varying hourly rates, while others are paid by trip.

JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE THE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION OF B.C.’S SMALL BUSINESSES.

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK OCT 19-25

Energy efficiency.

Good for smaller footprints.

And your bottom line.

Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter.

As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money.

FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint.

If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on highefficiency models.

Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money.

Save hot water ■ Fix leaky taps and install watersaving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.

■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-flow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types.

■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.

Save heat ■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there.

■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.

■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.

Upgrading can save you two ways When it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for highefficiency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more efficient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Two nurses there subsequently tested positive for the virus although it’s unclear how they were was exposed.

The BCNU has warned nurses to treat suspected or confirmed Ebola patients only if they’re properly equipped and trained and has outlined to them the WorkSafeBC procedure for refusing unsafe work if managers fail to address concerns.

WorksSafe BC is investigating one complaint from a health care worker at a Vancouver Island

hospital.

A spokesperson said WorkSafeBC will review Ebola response plans from health authorities and will inspect hospitals as needed to ensure compliance.

Brodkin said she’s not aware of any Fraser Health nurses refusing to treat possible Ebola cases.

“I have seen nothing but professionalism and the very best care delivered by the nurses and the physicians who were involved.”

Changing Lives for children with special needs ▶ CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN SPEARHEADED BY A SURREY MOTHER RAISES FUNDS TO SUPPORT FAMILIES AFFECTED BY DOWN SYNDROME SARAH MASSAH

A Surrey mother is spearheading a crowdfunding campaign to support families with children who have Down syndrome.

Theresa Preston began her Indiegogo campaign, called Changing Lives, in order to raise $60,000 for the Lower Mainland Down Syndrome Society’s (LMDSS) initiatives.

The non-profit society, which connects and supports families from all over the Lower Mainland – including a number from Surrey and White Rock – is aiming to provide financial assistance to those struggling to pay for services needed for their special-needs children.

For example, the Fleetwood resident explained, hiring a speech and language pathologist to work with a child with Down syndrome can cost up to $125 per hour.

“Most of the kids will probably have to go once a week at least for speech therapy,” Preston said. “If our child is in elementary school, sometimes they are provided with a Band-Aid solution, and they are given a speech-therapy session

for 20 minutes, but that’s not enough.

“This kids need more than that.”

Preston, whose 27-year-old daughter, Chantel, was diagnosed with Down syndrome, has been an active member of LMDSS since its inception in the late 1980s.

“It was a rocky start,” Preston recalled when her daughter was diagnosed. “We reached out to the community and found that we’re all going through the same thing.

“Information was really scarce at that time, and the society was born from that.”

Money raised through the crowdfunding campaign will also go to oral-placement therapy, music therapy, outreach and educational support.

“Everything comes with a price,” Preston said. “As a parent, we don’t receive any (funding).

“Every parent has different issues that come up.”

The group also has an outreach-support team, which visits new parents and shares the different support systems available to them.

“We’ve become a family,” Preston said. “It’s time to bring awareness for people who have Down syndrome,” she said. “I think the society has taught me how to advocate for my child, and it’s helped (members) learn what’s available out there, in terms of education and different techniques.

“I just want to make a difference.”

Surrey teacher honoured in Ottawa ▶ TIFFANY POIRIER RECEIVES AWARD FROM PRIME MINISTER SHEILA REYNOLDS

Tiffany Poirier receives her Certificate of Excellence from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. JASON RANSOM

A Surrey educator is among just 10 elementary and secondary school teachers chosen nationwide this year to receive a Certificate of Excellence from Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Tiffany Poirier, a teacher at Prince Charles Elementary, was honoured in Ottawa on Tuesday (Oct. 7).

The Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence recognize outstanding and innovative elementary and secondary school teachers who instill in their students a love of learning and who use information and communications technologies to help students meet the challenges of the

21st Century.

Poirier teaches the Surrey School District’s Challenge Program for gifted Grade 3 to 7 students, where students examine some of life’s biggest questions, such as What is Happiness? and Can war be justified?

Through inquiry-based, hands-on learning, Poirier strives to empower her students to explore their own big questions, interests and passions though dialogue and in-depth projects.

“Every child has infinite gifts to discover and share,” she says.

In addition to numerous other achievements, Poirier wrote and illustrated a children’s critical thinking book called Q is for Question, An ABC of Philosophy, and developed The Teaching Coats Project, an arts-based inquiry for teachers and students

They’re the highlight of Cloverdale’s annual Santa Parade, but decorated big rigs won’t be rolling down main street this Christmas – unless local businesses once again help cover costs.

An appeal for financial assistance for Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights went out recently, urging Cloverdale’s business community to step up with $500 parade sponsorships or other forms of help.

The annual evening parade winds its way though the historic town centre every December, drawing thousands of spectators. The event culminates with the arrival of Santa Claus, along with a dazzling lighted procession of big rig trucks from Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley.

Ferry transportation costs of the Island Equipment Owners Association have traditionally been borne by B.C. Ferries.

The charitable discount ended last year, according to Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, which co-sponsors the parade along with the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce. When sponsors were approached for $500 contributions in 2013, they readily answered the call, securing 12 big rigs for the parade.

Additional traffic control and policing costs are another burden. Last year, city hall asked organizers to avoid the use of volunteers, resulting in an unanticipated budget shortfall.

This year, the City of Surrey has provided the Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce with $6,000 funding for policing and traffic control, or about 75 per cent of the cost.

The Parade of Lights also functions as a food drive for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau.

To find out more, call the BIA at 604-576-3155 or 604-574-9802 to reach the Cloverdale Chamber.

Volunteer fair for youth ▶ OCT. 23 EVENT TAKES PLACE AT PANORAMA RIDGE SECONDARY SHEILA REYNOLDS

Students from Johnston Heights Secondary sing at the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival

Choirs in Austria

Two choirs from a Surrey secondary school performed at a global competition in Austria this summer.

Johnston Heights Senior Choir came third and the school’s chamber choir fourth in the mixed category at the five-day Summa Cum Laude International Music Festival in Vienna.

The school took 90 students from Grades 9-12, with almost all participating in both the band and choir competitions.

Conducted by teacher Alan Holmes, the performances by the choirs were both judged “excellent.”

The festival attracted performers from across

Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.

Top spot in the mixed choir category was shared by the Univer-

sity of Pretoria Youth Choir from South Africa and Westlake Choralation Choir, the top school choir in New Zealand.

A group of Surrey teens is hoping an event they’ve planned this month will raise awareness about global issues and encourage youth to volunteer in the community.

Youth Transforming Society (YTS) is a Surrey-based humanitarian group that was started by four students in 2010. The society now boasts 85 volunteers and has raised thousands of dollars for a variety of charities.

The latest campaign of YTS is an evening for high school and university students – called

Volunteering and Beyond – where dozens of organizations will be in attendance to talk to youth about potential volunteer opportunities.

More than 45 charities and organizations – including Canadian Cancer Society, YMCA, Oxfam, Union Gospel Mission, City of Surrey, Surrey Hospice Society, Arts Umbrella, Surrey Christmas Bureau and Big Brothers – are participating in the information night. A full list can be found at www. youthtransformingsociety. com The volunteer fair will be held Oct. 23, 5-8 p.m. at Panorama Ridge Secondary, 13220 64 Ave. For more information, check the website or email youthtransformingsociety@gmail.com

The homeowner purchased the home with the intention of renovating it, and called in Novell Design Build to realize his dreams. Among the renovations was removing the roof and adding head room, along with two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room and storage on the top floor.

Kitsilano home gets a facelift from Novell Design Build A home from 1928 is renovated from top to bottom to fit the needs of a homeowner with plans to have a family and bring the old home up to date.

By Kerry Vital Old World style and thoughtful details combine in a seriously gorgeous home in Kitsilano, completely renovated by Novell Design Build.

“We are so excited about this house,” says Laurel James, director and principal designer at Novell Design Build. “It truly was crafted; there’s something in every room and it really suits the homeowner. Everywhere you look there’s a surprise.”

The owner purchased the home, originally built in 1928, with the intention to renovate it.

“Multiple renovations over the years compromised the original character of the home,” James says. “The entire house has been re-planned and the roof lifted to accommodate a growing family.”

Lifting the roof changed the top floor attic from a space with no head room to a full upper level with room for sleeping and relaxing.

“We had a strict limit to the amount of square footage we could add to the house, yet we desperately wanted to create a usable upper level,” James says. “We exceeded the code

requirements for thermal ratings on the exterior walls in the lower level, earning a space credit that we dispersed upstairs, along with lifting our mechanical room up into the attic crawl space where it was excluded from our square footage, and maximizing space exemptions for storage and head room clearance on the stairs. All of this allowed us to scrape together enough room for two bedrooms, one with a seating area and desk, a bathroom, laundry and storage upstairs.”

Other highlights include 12-foot ceilings in the kitchen, designer lighting pieces and a custom cast fireplace in the den.

“The powder room is articulated with a dramatic display of calacutta (marble) hex tiles, offset with an antique vanity, restored lighting fixtures and un-lacquered brass fittings throughout,” says James. “It’s really dramatic.”

The renovations incorporate the homeowner’s art and antique collection, which was an important feature for him.

“An Old World feel, eclectic mix of classic styles and thoughtful detailing bring character and lift back to this early century home,” James says.

Another stunning feature of the home is the capability for indoor and outdoor living.

“A massive folding operable wall as wide as the kitchen facilitates a true connection to the outdoors,” James says. This allows the homeowner to live and dine inside or outside.

One of the little surprises that James is so excited about is the drawers beneath the stairs that

Crafting and sculpting an old home into something fit for a growing family “ from page.1 allow for more storage and add some interest.

“The closets in the bedroom were really inspired,” James says. “We were able to turn his thoughts into reality with unique closets with French doors on the front. It’s really the right feel for the home, and creates visual interest with Hampton-esque closet built-ins.”

As with the square footage considerations, renovating this older home was not without its challenges.

“Bringing the structure and energy performance of a 1928 house up to, and beyond, current codes was a challenge,” says James. “We managed to do it with thoughtful restructuring strategies that both allowed us to keep the original foundations and facilitate an open floor plan – along with using new technologies in spray foam insulation and air tightness. To do this, we had to carefully manage the budget together with the owner to allow for these upgrades to the infrastructure; what you don’t see behind the walls.”

The renovations took just under a year, but the homeowner is extremely happy with the finished product.

“He is so thrilled with the home and how it turned out,” James says. “Any renovation of this scope is a big risk; you have to trust the people you work with. He’s thankful he took those risks.”

The renovated home includes beautiful new features including a custom closet, stunning new kichen with 12foot ceilings and plenty of space for indoor and outdoor living.

Controlling the chaos of home technology

Organizing all your media technology prevents clutter and ensures everything works as it’s supposed to.

By Kerry Vital No one likes a cluttered home. That’s particularly true when it comes to technology.

“It’s no longer necessary to have a stack of components beside your TV,” says Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, citing examples of components as DVD players, gaming systems, media servers such as an AppleTV, or a digital cable box. “A racking system will allow you to keep everything organized in one space and allow you to access multiple sources from each TV in your home.”

In order to facilitate this, it is recommended to include some degree of home automation, as it will streamline the process and ensure everything works as it should.

“A home automation system will be able to tell when something is doing what it’s supposed to do, while a plain remote that you get with your TV won’t have that functionality,” Rente says.

“With the advent of streaming media, most people will never have to access their components.”

However, he recommends using a racking system that will give you access to the back of said system if necessary, to ease in troubleshooting. Most racking systems are modular and include shelving to place your DVD players and other assorted components, as well as built-in wire management to keep

Keeping all of your media components in one place is not only convenient, but also better aesthetically as you will no longer have to pile your DVD player, media server and cable box underneath your television.

every cord neat and secure. Many racks will also have built-in fans to keep the components cool, which will ensure a longer lifespan for your technology, and surge protectors to prevent damage from power surges.

“You can also get accessories such as glass doors to make it fit in better with your existing decor, instead of only purely functional,” says Rente.

Media racks can be placed nearly anywhere.

“Don’t be afraid to relocate your systems to nearby closets to achieve that clean look of just having a TV on the wall,” Rente says. Another option is in a media room itself through built-in cabinetry.

One advantage of centralizing your technology is that a single rack can be used for multiple rooms and multiple televisions.

“You can purchase a device that will split a single DVD player or media server across a number of televisions,” says Rente. “This will allow you to access multiple sources from each television, and the ability to access the same source from multiple TVs. So, you can watch the same television show on two different TVs, for example.”

This type of system works well for man caves or recreation rooms that have multiple televisions, as they allow you to play the big game across all of the TVs, or have different sports playing at the same time on multiple screens.

Hitting the floor with cool and sleek tiles

By Kerry Vital

styles are more popular outside of the Lower Mainland. Larger format tiles such as 12’ by 24’ and even larger are a popular choice, while smaller sizes are going out of style.

Other out-of-fashion styles include tiles inlaid with a design and glass mosaics.

Popular flooring differs depending on the room it’s being installed in. For example, clean lines and neutral colours are most popular in the master ensuite, to give the homeowner a spa-like feeling.

“You want to enjoy the setting,” Aggarwal says. “You’re going for a clean design; this is not the place you want to feel cozy. Whiteon-white-on-white works well in a modern design.”

In the kitchen, natural stones are still in.

“Marble, travertine and porcelain are still very much in style,” says Aggarwal. “For example, you could put marble on the floor with very modern cabinets.”

Flooring is an integral part of any renovation. It’s often one of the first things people consider when looking to renovate, and it can tie the entire room together into one cohesive space.

“The most important thing to consider when installing a new floor is that you don’t want it to look renovated,” says Sanj Aggarwal of Mainland Tile. “Sometimes it can look a little out of place. For example, an ultra-modern style in a traditional home. You want there to be a nice flow between rooms.”

West Coast is a popular style in many aspects of home decor, and this translates to flooring as well.

“The West Coast is a lot different than other areas,” Aggarwal says. “What works somewhere else won’t always work here. Earth tones with grey walls seems to work well in Vancouver.”

He cites a recent example of a home in South Surrey that includes marble tile on the main floor in a modern design.

“There are a lot of clean lines and crisp colours,” he says.

Another example that works well on the West Coast is a return to nature and more subdued shades. Ornate traditional CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS OUR GOAL

Jennifer Scott: A Good Chick To Know

By Kerry Vital For style expert Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know, style is about more than homes or clothing. In fact, it’s a combination of both for the designer who started off working purely in fashion.

“I kind of organically ended up doing this,” Scott says. “I have a Bachelor of Design (degree) from Ryerson University in Toronto, and worked in fashion as a stylist. I found that many of the principles of design transfer over to interiors, and started doing a lot more of that kind of design work.”

In 2011, her design won second place in the BC’s Best Young Designer competition.

Scott started A Good Chick To Know four years ago, and continues to assist clients with many aspects of their lives. She offers interior design services as well as wardrobe styling, and notes that the principle of “something old, something new” works well for both facets of the design industry.

As for where the name came from, Scott Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know is enjoying the return laughs and says that she has always had the to neutral whites and off-whites in her own home, and urges name in the back of her head. people to consider different textiles and textures.

Decorating for small spaces

By Kerry Vital Living in the Lower Mainland means living in the one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It also means living in one with plenty of options for housing types, from large single-family residences to small condominiums. Decorating a large space has its challenges, but decorating a small space can sometimes be even more complicated.

Designing for smaller spaces starts with some multi-tasking.

“Good design enhances how the occupants really live,” says Laura Anderson of Resource Furniture. “Multi-functional pieces that transform can make one space do the work of two, or three, or four.”

Among the options are tables, beds, storage solutions and desks, just to name a few.

One of the biggest challenges involved in living in a small space is keeping on top of clutter.

“Editing possessions is a critical first step,” says Anderson. “Dedicating enough closed storage for the items you can’t do without is next.”

While it might be tempting to go for an inexpensive option, Anderson warns against that.

“Look for quality,” Anderson says. “There is nothing environmentally friendly about purchasing an item that must be thrown away and replaced.”

Moving beyond furniture, there are simple decor tricks that can make your home feel larger. Everyone has heard of the adage that black makes something look smaller while white makes something look larger. While this is often true, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule.

In fact, dark colours can make your home feel cozy and inviting, which can be more important than making a room feel larger.

Allowing plenty of natural light into your space will be beneficial when making your

home feel larger. Matching your draperies to the walls will avoid contrast, which will keep the walls looking seamless.

Above all, it is important to make your home feel like your own, and that will start with keeping it as clutterfree as possible. Stacks of possessions will just make your home look smaller, whether you’re living in a penthouse or a studio.

“Less is more, no matter what size the home!”

Anderson says.
