SURREY LOSING $420K A YEAR IN UNPAID TRAFFIC TICKETS ▶ CITY’S MANAGER OF BYLAWS SAYS HE’S WORKING ON A SOLUTION KEVIN DIAKIW

One in four Surrey traffic tickets will never be paid, The Leader has learned.

The uncollected fines amount to about

$420,000 annually.

Last week, Surrey bylaw officials released their quarterly report on bylaw actions.

One of the highlights is the 13,579 parking enforcement tickets issued January through March. Less than half of those (5,572) have been paid, while five per cent (660) are being disputed.

A full 35 per cent are outstanding and on their way to a collection agency.

More rewarding.

Jas Rehal said the city can expect to recover 30 per cent of those due to collection action.

But it leaves 3,360 tickets that will remain unpaid over a four-month span – a figure Rehal says is admittedly high.

He says in a typical year, the number of unpaid tickets will range from 10,000 to 12,000. continued on page X

With the average ticket being $35, it amounts to $420,000 annually.

Rehal is working with city lawyers to determine if there’s a way to collect the unpaid fines.

In Vancouver, the annual parking fine loss tops $5 million, while other cities such as Burnaby and Richmond are failing to collect similar amounts as Surrey’s.

Delta has no parking meters, so the number of tickets handed out annually is only 1,130.

Hugh Davies, Delta’s manager of property use and compliance, said the number of tickets that go unpaid in that municipality is similar to Surrey, at about 30 per cent.

The annual loss of revenue is $38,000, Davies said.

Rehal said the problem is pretty endemic through the region.

“Most municipalities are trying to wrestle with this,” Rehal said last week, adding he’s also liaising with other cities.

“One thing we’re looking at is changing our collection methods,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll have something wrapped up in a couple of weeks.”

In a typical year, the number of unpaid parking tickets in Surrey will range from 10,000 to 12,000. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Personal treasure stolen from Whalley doorstep

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner gave her inaugural State of the City address today and laid out her plans for Surrey over the coming year.

▼ KELOWNA MOTHER PLEADS FOR RETURN OF PHOTO ALBUM

FILE PHOTO

KEVIN DIAKIW

A precious photo album containing pictures of a Whalley woman’s deceased twin sister was stolen from her doorstep in March.

The woman’s mother, June Turner, spent more than a year amassing prized pictures of her two daughters, one of whom died last year.

Since then, Turner has been building a photo album to give to the surviving twin.

It was sent by FedEx and was left on a Whalley doorstep between March 28 and March 30.

Someone stole the album and Turner is desperate to get it back to her 49-year-old daughter.

It has no value to whoever stole it, she said in an interview from Kelowna on Thursday.

Turner said she understands how someone found themselves taking it.

“You were probably really curious as to what was in there and thought This picture is it was some use to you, on the front of but it only means a lot to a missing photo the person it was sent to,” album that was Turner said. “It’s her life stolen in Surrey story in pictures.”

She is pleading with in March. whoever took it to get it back, either by dropping it off at FedEx or the Whalley District Policing station.

She’s also asking the Surrey public to keep an eye out for a light blue photo album, with multiple coloured pastel flowers on it and a window on the front with a picture of a woman.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the album can call the RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

▶ SURREY IS SAFE, STATS SHOW from page 1

Innovation Boulevard is a partnership between the City of Surrey, Simon Fraser University and Fraser Health to create a hightech health area between the three entities in North Surrey.

It’s already taking off.

Hepner said she wants to build upon that success by using several similar models elsewhere in the city.

She said the Innovation Boulevard concept can and will be used to create hubs of clean tech, agriculture and cyber security.

Clean tech (environmentally friendly technology) is one of Canada’s fastest-growing sectors, she said, adding Surrey is well-positioned to lead globally.

She said the city recently recruited the Foresight Cleantech Innovation Centre to locate in Newton. Last month, the federal government announced $2 million in federal funding for Foresight for its clean technology development. She noted 10 per cent of B.C.’s clean tech companies are already located in Surrey.

But innovation doesn’t stop there, Hepner said.

California’s ongoing drought situation is an indicator climate change has profound effects on food security.

She noted that one-third of Surrey’s land base is agricultural and said the city can be part of the solution.

In partnership with the B.C. Agriculture Centre for Excellence, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, SFU and BCIT, Surrey will become a living lab for agricultural innovation, Hepner said.

There are plans to create a virtual incubator farm, which would serve as a portal for aspiring farmers to find services and sources of information gathering.

Most importantly, she said, it will identify land upon which they can farm.

Innovation will also be part of a cyber security initiative Surrey is undertaking, she said. Breakdowns in security are costing

governments and businesses fortunes. Surrey will be working with Israel’s Ben Gurion University as well as top companies, locally and abroad, to better understand the issue and find solutions.

After highlighting plans for a bright future, Hepner also addressed what she called the “elephant in the room” – crime.

She said statistics show Surrey is a safe city, but she acknowledged people don’t feel safe.

During last year’s election campaign, Hepner promised 147 more officers on the ground. She says they’ve been ordered and will arrive within the next year.

Surrey will also be developing a neighbourhood policing model and will hire a director of public safety strategies.

Hepner also listed some of the large construction projects completed and under way, including Guildford pool, Grandview pool, East Clayton recreation centre, an expansion of the Surrey Museum and a soccer centre for excellence.

She also said the city is looking for an investor who will build a multi-purpose sport and entertainment complex in South Westminster (northwest Surrey).

And Hepner plans to create a cultural corridor from Newton to South Surrey along King George Boulevard.

TransLink will likely abandon its zone system and tap-out requirement for buses and charge all bus riders for one zone only when it eventually rolls out the rest of its delayed Compass card program.

There’s no final date set yet to fully activate the fare gates and smart card system, which was mandated by the provincial government seven years ago and supposed to have been operational by fall of 2013.

It’s been bedevilled by technical problems ranging from slow, error-prone card validators on buses to website deficiencies.

But officials announced Thursday

PA R K S A N D R E C R E AT I O N

they’re taking another step forward by rolling Compass out to all West Coast Express users in June and to all university students with U-Passes by the end of summer, boosting the number of users by September to 220,000 out of an eventual 850,000.

The biggest roadblocks to a full launch have been the slow read times to tap in and out on buses – slowing down service – and the fear that many passengers will fail to tap out when exiting and be overcharged.

Three-quarters of Metro Vancouver bus riders travel only one zone but would be charged the default three zones if they fail to tap out.

TransLink Communications Vice-President Colleen Brennan said charging for one zone only on buses – effectively forgoing the extra zone

charges that a quarter of bus passengers now pay on routes that span two or three zones – appears to be the best way to solve the bus system problems.

Passengers would still be asked to tap out but it wouldn’t be mandatory and they wouldn’t be charged more if they fail to do so.

“The solution that makes the most sense would be to go to a single zone on an interim basis on the bus during peak periods,” Brennan said.

“That’s looking like the simplest option that would make it simplest for our customers as well. So that’s the one that we are exploring.”

It’s not clear how TransLink would have been able to stop bus passengers on twoor three-zone routes from tapping the exit validator early on their trip and paying only one zone anyway.

TransLink officials weren’t able to provide an estimate of how much extra-zone

revenue might be lost as a result.

But it would mean a transit price break for passengers on multizone routes, such as buses between South Surrey and the Canada Line or the 555 from north Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to the Millennium Line. A trip downtown for those riders might drop from the three-zone cost of $5.50 to $4 for two zones.

Optional bus tap outs would erode one of the prime benefits expected from the Compass system – accurate details on the start and end of each trip so TransLink planners can more precisely match route service levels with demand and ultimately shift from the current zones to a distance-based pricing system.

As for the system’s technical performance, Brennan said progress has been made by the U.S. contractor, Cubic Transportation Systems.

“It’s more reliable, the tap speed is fast-

er, it’s more accurate and more reliable than where we were,” she said.

Starting June 8, Compass cards will be handed out to 7,500 West Coast Express passengers and they will be the first actual revenue customers to start using the Compass website to manage their account and load and reload stored value online.

By the end of summer all 130,000 students from 10 universities or post-secondary schools who now use paper U-Passes will be on Compass as well, in addition to the 85,000 cards already in use by B.C bus pass holders and TransLink employees.

Brennan said TransLink remains committed to a careful “phased approach versus a big bang” rollout of Compass.

There has been no further increase in the $194-million budget for the smart card and fare gates program, which was originally estimated at $170 million.

A watershed moment for Surrey ▶ NEW 67-ACRE NATURE PRESERVE PLANNED ALEX BROWNE

Environmental groups are giving a thumbs-up to an innovative South Surrey nature preserve planned by the City of Surrey.

The Fergus Watershed Biodiversity Preserve, a 67-acre rural area between 168 Street and Highway 99 – bounded on the north by 15 Avenue and on the south by 12 Avenue – has been earmarked as an area where sensitive ecosystems and critical wildlife habitat will be both protected and enhanced.

A management plan for the preserve was approved by council in March, as a preliminary to staff bringing forward a draft park-dedication bylaw.

According to the plan, the emphasis on biodiversity is a first for the city, enshrining the notion of preserving and promoting diverse habitats as part of a broader intention.

Among groups expressing approval of the direction taken by Surrey Parks staff are the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society, the Little Campbell Watershed Society, the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club, Surrey Environmental Partners and A Rocha Canada, all of whom have partnered through representation on the preserve’s advisory committee.

While the groups say there is more work to be done – they’re concerned about how a necessary access road and parking lot will be constructed, how buffer zones will be established and whether bylaw monitoring will be adequate to discourage public abuse of the area – they recognize the plan as a significant step in environmental protection in the city.

It’s even more significant, they say, since it’s a turnaround in staff thinking since council adopted the name Fergus Watershed Park in 2010 and started holding open houses and workshops in 2013.

Initial discussion seemed to suggest the sensitive area was being considered for multiple recreational uses – including extensive trails, picnic areas and a discgolf facility, all of which environmentalists feel would have defeated the purpose of a preserve.

We’ve added another piece to the puzzle.

But Margaret Cuthbert, president of the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society, said the united voice of environmental groups has clearly been heeded by Surrey Parks staff.

“They really listened,” she said. “This is a real opportunity to do something different – this is going to be a first.”

The ecosystem provided by the watershed is home to precious natural habitat for many species, including migratory birds, she added.

“I’d like to see more parks like this,” she said, noting that preserving a biodiverse environment of native species is more bene-

ficial for wildlife than the common approach – neatly manicured and landscaped parks planted with tulips and marigolds.

“I’d like to see more of the boulevards planted with native plants to feed the birds – you’d be surprised what even a network of small areas like that can do.”

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednes day M ay 20 2015

More space means more coal ▼ CITIZENS NEED TO START ASKING TOUGH QUESTIONS I am absolutely dismayed reading Jeff Nagel’s article in the May 6 Surrey-North Delta Leader, in which he reports that “Port Metro Vancouver concludes there will be no adverse environmental impacts from the project (Roberts Bank Terminal 2) to double the container-handling capacity of Deltaport.”

Get your heads out of the sand (or in this case the coal) Port Metro Vancouver. As climate scientist and Green party MLA Andrew Weaver made it perfectly clear at the DOXA screening of the documentary “Running on Climate” on May 2, the burning of thermal coal is the number-one contributor towards runaway climate change.

This is an “environmental impact” not only to our region, but

to the entire world.

Even if we don’t care about the health of people who have to immediately breathe air contaminated by coal burnt to produce electricity, make no mistake, in this closed system which is our world, the environmental impact of the continued burning of fossil fuels will directly impact all of us – even if the federal environmental assessment doesn’t consider it so because of its distance from the immediate project footprint.

Step up, citizens of the world, and start asking some questions, such as: 1. What percentage of the coal leaving Terminal 2 will be thermal coal?

2. Why won’t any other port in the Pacific Northwest ship this coal?

3. Why would Canada and/or Surrey/Vancouver agree to contribute to runaway climate change?

A letter writer says doubling the coal-handling capacity at Deltaport will contribute to climate change. FILE IMAGE Think seriously about this issue and let Port Metro Vancouver, and your governments municipally, provincially and federally, know

how you feel about the very real concern of climate change.

VIEWPOINT

▼ POT CAN HEAL IN MANY FORMS Why are the courts denying people who already have the right to smoke dried marijuana the right to use it in other forms? Twice it has been proven that it is unconstitutional to deny patients the use of marijuana in oil or food form, so why are those cases not used as precedent?

It is helping them live healthier lives and they are doing so within their legal limits.

I think it is ridiculous to tell medical marijuana users they cannot use their legally owned marijuana how they want or what form works best for their lives. The courts should not be allowed to tell someone who is living in pain every day that they can smoke marijuana (which means inhaling smoke into their lungs) but cannot simply ingest it. Arresting someone for cooking with medical marijuana just isn’t logical.

Sacrificing farmland for climate change BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset.

Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16 Avenue and Oak Street to Stanley Park.

Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office.

Goodbye farmland.

After that deal, the B.C. government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for

that process to be tested.

It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel.

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works.

Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies.

Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around

$1 million to RB Trees.

Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness.

“It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.”

He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.

In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell.

Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions.

What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last

100 years, what is its real carbon offset value?

How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system.

Remember B.C.’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least.

Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere?

And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

ALEX BROWNE & TRACY HOLMES

Signs that have recently appeared at South Surrey’s Dogwood Park suggest that off-leash dogs will soon lose a sizable chunk of the green space’s north end.

And that has provoked a chorus of concern from dog owners.

The City of Surrey signs, describing a “Dogwood Off-Leash Area Fencing Improvement,” also state – prominently – that the work is planned for completion in “Summer 2015.”

Dog owners say that suggests the fencing – shown superimposed on a satellite photo in the posters – is a fait accompli.

Newton resident Jennifer Green, who frequently brings her dogs to the park, said the planned changes will not be an “improvement” and will result in the loss of off-leash access to as much as one-third of the trails in the woods.

Surrey parks manager Owen Croy insists, however, that the fencing is “not a done deal.”

“I want to assure readers the city is in the process of consulting with the community,” he said.

“The work is not imminent. We’ve posted signs that show how people can get information on the city’s website and leave their comments.

We want to get people’s feelings on how this would work. We’re seeking feedback on how fencing in the park could be modified.”

Rationale for fencing, he said, is to minimize the possibility of confrontation between unleashed dogs and the walkers, runners and cyclists using the Huntington-Bridlewood Greenway at the north end of the park, which is located between 134 and 136 Streets, north of 20 Avenue.

Croy said that the move is not a response to specific incidents, but is designed to lessen the chance that walkers, runners and cyclists will be discouraged from using the trails as a result of the presence of unleashed dogs.

“Good fences make for good neighbours and good parks,” he said,

adding that the idea is to have “safe and useful” areas for both dog owners and others using the system of linear parks, which also includes Chantrell Park.

He added that the final location of fencing – which would include two double gates – is still to be determined.

Croy said he was not surprised by the reaction from dog owners, who, he said, are always vocal in support of their pets.

“We are always pleased to work with the dog community – that’s why we’re asking them for their opinion.”

There was no shortage of opinion on the planned changes among dog owners last week at the park.

“They’re taking away from the dogs,” South Surrey resident Wendy LeLacheur said. “This is the only decent area that dogs can be off-leash and run.”

Green said she travels to the park with her

dogs twice daily and has done so since 1993.

She noted her husband, Chris, who passed away last July, was heavily involved with the Friends of Dogwood Park, which fundraised for many of the improvements there today.

“Dog people have paid money to get the park to where it’s at,” added Monika Kohr, describing it as “probably the bestused park in Surrey.”

“It’s a wonderful place,” said Lois Millman. “It’s not going to work with less space.”

South Surrey’s Clayton MacKay brings his sheepdog, Molly, to the park, and said it draws more than just a local crowd.

“People come from all over to use this park,” he said.

MacKay estimated only “one or two” cyclists use the park, and said the planned changes “just don’t make sense.”

“The minority of the users are the ones that

are being heard,” said Kohr, who is also a South Surrey resident.

Croy countered Wednesday, however, that the intention is to make the park work for all potential users, regardless of who is in the majority or who is in the minority.

“It doesn’t work that way,” he said. “It’s not a numbers game.”

He also said he was unaware of any agreement – cited by Green and fellow dog owner Pat MacKenzie of South Surrey – in which the land was bequeathed to the city specifically as a dog and horse park.

Croy, who has worked with the city for 23 years, said he believes the notion of such an agreement is an “urban legend.”

He noted that the park evolved into an offleash dog park as earlier equestrian use – it was originally home to a riding ring – has diminished over the years.

Convict nabbed ‘Dangerous offender’ loses appeal on the roof of Langley home ▶ KYLE WAYNE BERKSON’S INDEFINITE JAIL SENTENCE STANDS

SHEILA REYNOLDS

A child molester who attacked a nine-year-old Surrey girl has lost his bid to have his court-ordered status as a dangerous offender overturned.

Kyle Wayne Berkson was

found guilty in February 2011 of sexual interference (touching someone under 14 for a sexual purpose), invitation to sexual touching, breaking and entering with intent to commit sexual assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

The year prior, he had snuck through the bedroom window of the Surrey child, sexually assaulted her,

threatened her and cut her arm before escaping.

The girl testified at trial, saying the man who attacked her looked and sounded like Berkson, a former friend of the family.

Citing a past sexual incident involving a boy, the Crown sought and was granted dangerous offender status for Berkson, resulting in an indeterminate prison

sentence with no scheduled date for release.

The sentencing judge said Berkson had shown a failure to control his sexual impulses in the past and demonstrated a “strong” likelihood of not being able to do so in the future.

Berkson appealed his sentence, but lost in B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver last Wednesday (May 13).

RCMP say Merrick, who escaped minimum security prison on March 31, had been on the loose ever since, was arrested without incident May 13 in the 21900-block of 44A Avenue at 11 p.m.

He was captured in a co-ordinated efforts between Surrey and Langley RCMP, Emergency Response Team, Integrated Police Dog Services and Air 1.

Tips from the public also helped lead police to locating Merrick, said Surrey RCMP Insp. Manny Mann.

Shawn Merrick

He has been transported back to prison to finish serving his sentence and has been charged with six new counts of robbery.

As a fugitive, Merrick is alleged to have robbed six banks, two of them in Surrey and four in Langley. The most recent bank robbery was on May 4 in Aldergrove.

Surrey and Langley RCMP are now sifting through a significant number of tips received from the public, said Mann.

The viable tips will be provided to The Canadian Bankers Association, which had offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Merrick.

to improve how we buy, use and store food to make it last longer and use it more efficiently.

The regional district estimates 100,000 tonnes per year of food, beverage and dairy products are tossed out that should have been used.

Food wasted in an average day in the region consists of 80,000 potatoes, 26,000 bananas, 70,000 cups of milk and 32,000 loaves of bread.

That doesn’t count another 90,000 tonnes per year of unavoidable food waste that’s considered inedible, like meat bones, egg shells and pineapple skins, all of which is supposed to go in organic food waste bins.

Metro got 500 households to complete kitchen diaries tracking what

they bought, ate and tossed last November.

Nearly half the food disposed was tossed because residents bought too much, didn’t use it in time or either cooked or served too much.

Metro estimates the lack of efficient meal planning behind that adds up to $700 worth of food being wasted per household each year.

Despite the region’s organic waste dumping ban and curbside green bin pickup, 30,000 tonnes of avoidable food waste is estimated to be going into landfills where it generates methane.

Had it been eaten, Metro estimates the carbon emission reductions would have been equivalent to taking 2,000 cars off the road.

The only thing keeping the North Delta Blue Jays from being near the top of the B.C. Premier Baseball League is a lack of games played.

The Blue Jays improved to 9-2 (won-lost) after 3-0 and 3-2 wins over the Abbotsford Cardinals Sunday at Mackie Park in North Delta, and are just two games out of first place.

With 11 games played, the Blue Jays have played six games fewer than the firstplace North Shore Twins (14-3) and 10 less than the thirdplace Langley Blaze (14-7).

In Sunday’s first game, Daniel Gosselin lowered his league-leading earned run average to .59 with a complete game that included seven strikeouts. He allowed just four hits, all singles, while collecting 10 strikeouts and walking just two batters.

He kept the game scoreless until the Blue Jays scored their three runs over the final three innings.

William Quito singled to score Braedon Miller with the winning run in the fourth inning. Noah Or scored on a wild pitch in the fifth, and Logan Newman singled to drive in Quito for the third run in the sixth.

In the second game, North Delta outhit the Cardinals 12-3, but needed two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for the comefrom-behind win.

Miller doubled twice, scored two runs and drove in the third.

Trevor Gentles singled twice, scoring Miller each time.

The Blue Jays got a second complete-game effort from their pitching staff. Tyler Hoefer allowed two earned runs on three hits and a trio of walks. He had nine strikeouts.

The Blue Jays will play at home again on Sunday, hosting the 6-13 Coquitlam Reds for two games at Mackie Park. First pitch is at 11 a.m.

When you’re looking to decorate your open plan home, look for coordinating colours and consistent furniture.

Designing for an open-plan home

By Kerry Vital

For many buyers, an open-plan home is tops on their list when it comes time to purchase. However, it’s not just new buyers who can take advantage of that kind of open lifestyle.

Having sight lines that span the entire house makes for easier entertaining, better supervision of younger family members, and a lot more natural light throughout the home.

However, how can you decorate that open-plan home?

“We want the furniture and decorative items to be consistent with each other as the whole space is visible and considered as one,” says Carolyn Lino Stewart, principal at Concept to Design Inc. “In a closed space, you may be able to change colours, themes, etc. for each room.”

For summer, Lino Stewart says to think light, fresh and bright.

“Mix pops of bright colours, such as turquoise, bright pink, etc., in with layers of white in different patterns, textures and furniture pieces,” she says.

Continuing one paint colour or accent colour through the open rooms is a good place to start when it comes to decorating your open-plan home, but it’s not the only thing that homeowners should consider.

Having an open plan home comes with its own challenges when it comes to design.

Open-plan solutions… “ from page.

Another way to make the space cohesive includes anchoring the room with a large central seating area, and ensuring the flooring is consistent across the entire space.

Lino Stewart has some other suggestions for words to think about when looking at decorating your home.

“Consistency in style, scale/proportion, balance of detailed/wow items and more subtle pieces, plus colour flow,” says Lino Stewart. “Lifestyle and room functioning should be a big consideration. Open spaces allow people in the household to be in the same room, doing different things. For example, a seating area with a TV might be next to a small desk with a computer, with a kid’s play area, all open to a kitchen where the one who is meal-prepping can still be part of the room.”

When you’re living in an open-plan space, it’s especially important to keep clutter under control.

“Plan for proper storage, ideally multi-purpose pieces,” says Lino Stewart, giving the example of a bench that can pull double-duty as toy storage, or a desk with a table top that can lift to hide supplies.

“With our busy lifestyles, people multi-task, and want rooms they can comfortably do that in.”

If you are looking to create a bit of separation in your open-plan home, consider screens or hanging fabrics that can be moved around and placed to offer a bit of privacy for certain spaces. Folding doors can serve a similar purpose.

Shelving or low storage cabinets can also serve to delineate a workspace from the living area or kitchen, and allows for more storage to keep your clutter off the floor. Spaces can also be separated by the impactful use of furniture. The placement of a couch, table or chair can easily give you the sense of different rooms, even in an open-plan layout.

If you’re looking to include a bit of separation in your open plan home, try placing furniture strategically, using folding screens or doors, or installing shelving or low storage cabinets.

Finding coho ▶ TYNEHEAD HATCHERY VOLUNTEERS WANT TO RESTORE THE SERPENTINE RIVER FISH STOCKS TO THEIR GLORY DAYS A coho salmon fry, just moments after being released into the Serpentine River.

BOAZ JOSEPH

Here’s in interesting fish fact: Salmon fry raised in a hatchery grow more evenly when they’re hand-fed.

When machines do it, stouter fish strong-fin their way to the top, leaving the little guys behind.

It’s trivia that Ebb Budgell is happy to share.

A director on the board of the Serpentine Enhancement Society, which runs the Tynehead Hatchery, Budgell has lived 53 of his 54 years in Sullivan and Cloverdale, watching the fate of local fish populations.

Budgell remembers as a kid in the 1960s seeing countless salmon in Archibald Creek north of McLeod Road

▶ “If it wasn’t for the hatchery, there wouldn’t be any fish in this river.”

Elementary School. Years later, urban growth would reduce their numbers dramatically throughout the city.

Nowadays, through the help of volunteers, there is some hope of a comeback.

Every year, the hatchery, located on 96 Avenue near 168 Street, releases some 250,000 chinook, coho, chum and steelhead salmon into the river.

Almost a third of that number if that

number were released on May 9 at the hatchery’s open house.

These were Tynehead Hatchery’s eggs that were spawned and raised at the Inch Creek Hatchery on Lougheed Highway east of Mission – that facility has the storage space and staff that can hand-feed and prepare the fish for release back in Surrey.

Budgell says the partnership is both logistical and financial.

From Inch Creek Hatchery, Tynehead gets back healthy oneyear-old 20-gram fry which have a relatively good chance in the wild.

“On a river like this,

there is no truly wild salmon. If it wasn’t for the hatchery, there wouldn’t be any fish in this river.”

Tynehead Hatchery continues to need volunteers. The society also regularly runs education sessions, workshops, and community enhancement programs. To help out or make a donation, visit http://tynehead hatchery.ca/

Tynehead Hatchery’s Ebb Budgell (above), a volunteer for 15 years, unloads some of the 80,000 coho salmon fry that were released by visitors at a recent open house (left).

It starts with A and it’s everywhere ▶ 11TH-ANNUAL SURREY INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL INSPIRES KIDS TO FIND THE ARTIST WITHIN SHEILA REYNOLDS

Organizers of the Surrey International Children’s Festival are hoping kids who attend this year’s event get their hands dirty – both literally and figuratively.

The theme of the 2015 festival is “Art is Everywhere,” and is meant to inspire and empower children of all ages to discover their inner artist,

whether it be through creating something themselves, or watching others do their thing.

The City of Surrey celebration takes place both inside the Surrey Arts Centre and outside in Bear Creek Park May 21-23.

There are seven ticketed shows highlighting a diverse array of performers from around the world.

Featured this year

is what’s billed as a “once-in-a-lifetime” chance to experience a traditional puppet show by Vietnam’s Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre. The show features ancient music, dance, song and fire – all on water.

B.C. singers Music with Marnie and The Secret Life of Walter Manny will also take the stage, as will The Street Circus acrobats from Manitoba and an Icelandic puppet production of Peter and the Wolf.

French-Canadian musicians Bon Débarras

A musical production of Peter and the Wolf done with carved wooden puppets is just one of several performances featured at this year’s Surrey International Children’s Festival May 21-23. SUBMITTED will keep toes tapping and Order of Canada recipient Dave Douch-

ard shares his magical, musical storytelling.

MAXMEN, Mary

championsforcare.com

Mary Maxmen was born Mary Duzek on November 1st 1932 in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.

After her father passed away at an early age she moved with her mother Anna and brother Joe out to British Columbia and settled for a time in Steveston. Anna met and married Andrew Molyski and the family moved to Surrey. Two more members of the family came along, Paul and Eddy. Mary met Paul Maxmenko and they were married in 1954, eventually they changed their name to Maxmen. Paul and Mary started building a house on Kennedy Road (now 88th Ave) and moved there in 1957.

They had 3 children while living there, Dean, Dwayne and Donnie. They then built a house next door on Roslin Place where they lived for the past 35 years. Once their children left home, Mary made herself busy by delivering flyers for Canada Post in addition to caring for their large vegetable garden. She started a part time job with Walmart and worked there for 15 years, right up to the time of her stroke.

Mary is survived by her sons Dean (Barb), Dwayne and Donnie (Debbie). Also by grandchildren Hillary (Robbie), Donald, Crystal (Marty), Mathew, Nicole and great grandchildren Jade, Sapphire and Cody, as well as brothers Paul (Carol) and Eddy (Deddy).
