▶ RISING PRICES PROMPTED

BY SHORT SUPPLY CAUSING A RUSH AT LOCAL LIVESTOCK FEED BUSINESSES KEVIN DIAKIW

Horse and cattle ranchers are stocking up on hay, as a protracted drought and wild fires continue to cause both supply shortages and increased prices.

Dental Needs GATEWAY DENTAL CENTRE

Marilyn Murdy, a bookkeeper with Cloverdale’s Vanderveen Hay Sales in Cloverdale said the big trucks started showing up about a month ago.

Ranchers and farmers are stocking up.

Prices have climbed about 15 to 20 per cent, and Vanderveen is immensely busy.

In her six year’s with the company, Murdy has seen it get hectic, but it appears ranchers are preparing for a shortage.

“As far as trailer loads of hay, I’d say it’s busier this year,” Murdy said.

Hay growers typically get three to four cuts of the perennial crop each year. So far, most hay growers have about three cuts harvested, but

because of the heat this summer, crops have gone dormant, much like a lawn.

That leaves growers waiting for rains to bring that next crop up to harvestable levels.

For Jerry Keulen of Delta’s Seabreeze Farms it means about a 30 per cent reduction in his crop of grass and corn.

“The crops are hurting because of the dry conditions,” Keulen said Wednesday. “We’re definitely getting one crop less than typically.”

Seabreeze is also a dairy farm, and the crops are used to feed the cows. Keulen has had to continued on page 3

▶ COST OF HAY HAS RISEN 15-20% from page 1

buy feed from Washington State, as it was the only area that could provide him the volume or quality he needed. He’s not panicked by the changes, but says he has to be adaptable.

“We’re not worried or nervous, but we do look at the whole picture,” Keulen said. “Adapting to climate change is what this falls under.”

The shortages seem to be largely regional. Some areas of B.C. are reporting little or no impact, while others say production is down 50 per cent. The drought has been compounded by the large number of fires burning in the province.

Kevin Boon, with the B.C. Cattleman’s Association, said some of the ranches in the south of the province have burned, meaning large feed areas for cattle are gone. In some instances, the barns holding stockpiles of feed have also burned. It means those ranchers are having to go to market to feed their stock.

Boon said there is still hay available in the Peace and Thompson River areas, but there’s trucking costs to consider.

While on average, the cost of hay has risen 15 to 20 per cent, in some instances it’s been far more. Boon has heard of cases in which hay cost has gone from $140 a tonne to $220 a tonne (a 57 per cent hike).

He was surprised to hear some ranchers may be stockpiling hay.

It may be a mistake in the long run, he said, as prices may stabi-

lize, leaving them stuck having paid higher prices.

Those who are hoarding hay would also require a barn to keep it out of the elements. Those without a barn will be more susceptible to fluctuating prices and shortages.

And the days of walking over to a neighbouring farm to borrow some hay may be dwindling quickly, as no one wants to get caught without.

Boon said there’s hay to be had in Alberta. Bringing it up from Washington is a bit of a non-starter because of the low Canadian dollar.

He added some ranchers may also sell off calves a year early to avoid the higher costs of feed.

Kelly Coughlin with the Horse Council of B.C. said there are differing opinions on the matter throughout the membership. The general sense is it’s too early to make any predictions.

Coughlin said most council members are in a state of “cautious optimism.”

Boon said consumers aren’t likely to see a big difference on the ▶ “The crops store shelves with meat and dairy products because of the higher feed are hurting prices as things tend to level out due to the dry over time.

Anna Spencer and her five children had stopped in Abbotsford overnight as part of a journey from their home in Georgia to their new residence in Fairbanks, Alaska.

They were travelling to join husband and dad Ronald, an army man who had been stationed in Alaska and had been living there since May. Prior to leaving the Georgia home where they’d lived for seven years, the family loaded everything they owned into a 26-foot GMC U-Haul truck.

This included all their furniture and other essentials that had filled their home, but also some irreplaceable items, such as several boxes of family photos; keepsakes that had belonged to Anna’s dad, who died 15 years ago; and military gear (no weapons) that Ronald had saved over his 15 years in the service.

The Spencers – including the five kids ages 10 to 27 – left Georgia on July 24, staying at hotels along the way, without any problems.

But that changed early Monday morning (Aug. 17), while they were staying at the Ramada Plaza and Conference Centre in Abbotsford. The Anna Spencer family checked in Sunday night, but when they left at 11 a.m. the following day, the U-Haul was gone.

Anna, in shock and in tears, reported back to the front desk, and police were called.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald confirmed the U-Haul, loaded with about $100,000 in belongings, was stolen, and the theft was captured on video by the hotel’s security system.

Anna said the incident has been devastating.

“That is somebody’s life in there (in the U-Haul).

It didn’t take overnight to gain all of this. It took a lifetime to build what we had.”

MacDonald said it appears a vehicle pulled up beside the truck at 3:22 a.m. on Monday, and at 3:46 a.m., the U-Haul was driven away.

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

A

Barrister & Solicitor

s the sharing economy evolves, each new ‘app’ for another ‘niche’ seems more obvious than the last: first Airbnb for accommodation sharing, then Uber for ride sharing, and now ‘Rover’ for parking space sharing.

Developed by two Toronto entrepreneurs, Rover focuses on connecting drivers with owners of private parking spaces, “…as the airBNB of parking. Giving you access to privately shared spaces at great rates.

Exposing sharing and friendliness all across the country.”

But the critics are already vocal. Toronto’s bylaw office has simply said, “It’s not legal,” the alleged illegality arising from unlicensed operation of a commercial lot. Tim Wootton, a Rover co-developer has responded that the bylaws in issue were developed long before the Internet even existed, never in contemplation of the sharing economy, but “to prevent drivers from parking on lawns, not on stopping a homeowner from making a little extra money renting a driveway spot for a few hours.”

Concerns have also been raised about the potential nuisance for residential neighbourhoods, and revenue loss for municipalities. A typical comment: “Increased traffic in residential zones?

Increased noise…? Increased litter …?

Increased pedestrian injuries/fatalities?

No thanks…. Lower city revenues means everybody will have to pay more taxes....”

Enthusiastic support, however, has come from Albert Koehl, an environmental lawyer,

and author of the 400-page online book, “Road Follies, understanding, challenging, and reforming Ontario’s failed road transport model”. Mr. Koehl likes Rover because it “unlocks huge amounts of underutilized or unused space in urban areas …[ enabling] the city to liberate an equivalent amount of parking on public road space for other community priorities, such as wider sidewalks, safe cycling conditions or green spaces.”

The amount of land consumed by parking is a particular bugbear for Mr. Koehl who, having dug out the statistics for Road Follies, is well informed on the subject. His book cites the following statistics: ■ If all people in the world owned cars at the rate of Americans (771 cars per 1,000 people) …the required parking space … would be the size of Greece or England.”

(This from Donald Shoup’s High Cost of Free Parking) ■ The average car is parked 95% of the time compared to mass transit vehicles “in motion and serving a transport function for much of the day.”

■ In Toronto the average curb side or ‘onstreet’ parking space is 12.1 sm/130 sf and the average off-street space is 32.5 sm/300 to 350 sf, the difference arising from parking lots needing access aisles and landscaping.

■ “Surprisingly, given the amount of space needed for parking, there is no accurate inventory of parking spaces in the USA or Canada—nor an estimate of the total land area taken up by such parking. However, extrapolating from the most careful recent estimates: the total number of parking spaces in the US is about 1.15 billion.

■ Assuming 4.5 parking spaces per car in Ontario means each car consumes 1,085 sf, which is more than the living space devoted to the average human.

MacDonald said the video is too dark and grainy to get any vehicle or suspect descriptions, but police believe at least two people were involved.

The stolen U-Haul was recovered in Surrey early Wednesday, and MacDonald said it appeared numerous items were missing. There was also significant damage to the truck’s ignition.

As of Wednesday, MacDonald said police had yet to reach the Spencers, who continued on their journey Tuesday afternoon in their van.

MacDonald said until the family can go through the remaining items, police won’t know exactly what was stolen and whether any of the irreplaceable items were left behind.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A convicted killer who was supposed to go to trial this week for the murder of a Surrey man at a 2011 Christmas Eve party was recently found not guilty of the attempted murder of another man in Richmond.

Russell Bidesi, 24, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Bradley McPherson in Surrey. His trial for the McPherson murder was to begin Monday (Aug. 17), but was delayed when Bidesi’s defence lawyer withdrew.

Court documents indicate late last month Bidesi was found not guilty of attempted murder and convicted of a lesser charge in a Richmond case where he was accused of shooting another man in the chin.

In a July 24 B.C. Supreme Court decision, Bidesi was found guilty of attempting to cause bodily harm and was sentenced the following week to two-and-a-half years in prison.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday August 21 2015

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Have you ever been taken in by a phone or email scam?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you think it’s necessary for cities to sprinkle sports fields when watering restrictions are in effect?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 23% No 77%

The value of treaties The recent revelation of the salaries, income and expenses of the Semiahmoo First Nation prompted a lot of reaction from right across the country – and from a few members of the band, which is based in South Surrey.

Although the Semiahmoo First Nation has only 93 members, chief Willard Cook collected a salary of $267,729, including $420 for expenses. Coun. Joanne Charles collected $200,756 in salary and expenses, while councillor Roxanne Charles collected much less, just $32,198.

Revelations of the payments comes as a result of the First Nations Financial Responsibility Act, passed by the Conservative government. The stated purpose is to let band members and taxpayers be fully aware of the financial position of First Nations across Canada.

This has been a worthwhile piece of legislation. For one, it has shown the vast majority of band council members across Canada are acting responsibly, in terms of the salary and expenses they are being paid. Only a few have been collecting outlandish amounts.

Another benefit is to show taxpayers just how much goes towards First Nations from various levels of government. Indeed, one of the puzzling things about the Semiahmoo declaration is how much the band received from the provincial government.

Most payments to First Nations usually come from the federal government, not the province.

The federal government has constitutional responsibility for First Nations. Yet the Semiahmoo filing shows that $3,329,000 came from provincial taxpayers, while just $171,673 came from federal taxpayers.

The large amounts that go to bands from various governments make clear the importance of band economic development, and the value of treaties. The Tsawwassen First Nation in Delta has signed a treaty, and now has much more power over its affairs. It is engaged in numerous economic activities, including construction of a large shopping centre near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal.

Other B.C. bands, such as the Osoyoos and Westbank First Nations, have also been involved in significant economic activity, and are thus far less dependent on governments. This is to everyone’s benefit.

The Semiahmoo band is engaged in some economic activity, notably leasing out various properties that are located on its land.

It also collects parking revenue from a large parking lot adjacent to the beach. Its filing shows $858,142 in partnership revenue, including economic partnerships.

There is potential for a great deal more revenue from economic development. The band’s lands are located adjacent to the border and White Rock, and some real estate development, for example, could prove beneficial to the members of the band – as long as it met with their approval.

There is a need for basic services on the band’s land. Band member Darren Dolan, who expressed concern about the level of Cook’s salary, said his own home has been condemned and has no water or sewer services. Considering most band members live within sight of some luxurious homes in White Rock and South Surrey, such conditions are unacceptable.

“We live in distress and Third World conditions, while they (leaders) have anything they want at their fingertips,” Dolan said.

There is no reason that additional economic development on the band’s land cannot be used as a much-needed lever to bring water and sewer services, and better housing for band members, to the Semiahmoo lands.

Progress towards a treaty, which would grant much more autonomy to the band, would also be a good step.

The members of the band, who have long been good neighbours to South Surrey and White Rock residents, deserve no less.

All our stories worth telling in the end GUEST VIEW ▼ Tracy Holmes

For my age, I’ve been to more than my share of events held solely to remember those who have died – from full-on funerals, to celebrations of life, to simple graveside goodbyes.

Most of the services I’ve attended, by some grace, have been for work purposes in my capacity as a reporter, by virtue of who the person was or the high-profile circumstances surrounding the death.

At most, I’ve listened firsthand to the profound sense of loss.

At some, I’ve gleaned what I could about the person in the casket or urn from the faces of those arriving to say goodbye for the last time, and the pictures flashing across a screen at the front of the room.

At others, I’ve done my best to capture the person’s essence from a distance, at the request of the deceased’s family.

As an uninvolved observer, I have the task of capturing the emotion without the burden of being overwhelmed.

It’s not always the easiest of tasks, but a far more enviable position than most in attendance.

I remember many of their names, for different reasons, I think: Cupcake the Clown, a.k.a. Dawn Jones, in February 2010 – she performed, among many places, at a birthday party my son went to many years ago; Teagan Batstone – she was just 8 when she was killed last December; Colin Hill – he died a hero just a month ago; Dallas Smith, a plane-crash victim in August 2012, was an only child; Kevin Hegarty, a firefighter who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, died this past March.

Ben Trompetter died three years ago doing what he loved, and was recovered from icy waters with a smile on his face; Dario Bartoli was 15 when he was attacked last December, and the person responsible for his death is still out there.

The service for Hudson Brooks, the young

man killed by police on July 18, was just three weeks ago.

There have been many others over the years; odds are there will be more.

I often hear or read from those grieving that the loss doesn’t seem real, that they expect their loved ones to walk through the door at any minute, crack a joke, share a hug…

I can relate. In my own life, I’ve been to several funerals: my dad’s, when I was 14; my aunt’s, nine years ago; my daughter’s aunt, who was younger than me when she died; one for the mother of my best friend growing up; for my friend, Laurie, who I spent three hours with the first day we met; one for the aunt of a guy I was dating; and that of Peace Arch News publisher Linda Klitch – we shared the same birthday.

I don’t want to go to many more, though I know it is an inevitable reality that there is at least one service I won’t

be able to avoid. I hope they play country music at that one, maybe a little Zac Brown Band, A Thousand Horses and The Band Perry.

But in bracing myself for the next one that will come by way of assignment, I’m trying to dwell on why I should be there.

Because, everyone deserves to have their story told.

Sure, the good stuff I hear will probably be a little embellished, and there’s good odds the bad won’t be mentioned at all.

And, really, that’s how it should be.

I’ve “met” a lot of amazing people at funerals. And I can say without hesitation they made a difference, they mattered, even if sometimes to only to a few people.

It’s enough. Knowing that, it’s easier to accept that at some point down the road, the story being told will be mine.

Such is life.

Kindness around every corner ▼ FROM BYSTANDERS TO FIRST-RESPONDERS TO HOSPITAL STAFF, UNWARRANTED ACTS ABOUND FOLLOWING ACCIDENT Everyone always has a complaint about the way they have been treated, but how often do you hear about the good side?

My wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident to which I was a witness. I was first to start first aid, in the middle of the road. Once I had control over the situation and was reaching for my cell phone to call 911, I had the people from behind us as well as the people in front of us volunteer to help.

Then a nurse on her way to work stopped, and having more experience than myself, took over the situation until the fire trucks arrived. That morning we had Surrey Fire Department, Surrey RCMP and BC Ambulance attend to assist with my wife’s injuries. Everyone was extremely calm and professional.

Once my wife was on her way to the hospital, an RCMP member realized that having two vehicles at the scene and one driver would not work and the tow truck was delayed. Since we did not live far away, he followed me home to drop off one vehicle and then drove me back so that I could drive the second one. The fire department

A letter writer says from the moment his wife was injured in a motorcycle accident, they’ve received nothing but compassionate care. stayed on scene to make sure no one went through my wife’s belongings.

Those two acts of kindness were unwarranted nor requested but yet they did them anyway.

Once I made it to the hospital, we stayed in the emergency from approximately 8 a.m. until she got a bed that night at 8:45 p.m. During that time the paramedics who transported her stopped by after their other pick-ups to check in and see how she

was. These are the small things that no one sees.

She spent seven days and six nights in hospital. During her stay I came to know some of the nurses and more paramedics.

I have nothing but respect for the men and women that do these important jobs – not for the recognition but for the joy of helping others.

Another small example I witnessed involved an elderly woman who had dementia. She would start out in a normal conversation then slip into a loop where she was directing her music class and all she would do is count down the beats: one, two, three, over and over for hours. This women was cared for with kindness and respect. At night she would be placed in the hall so as not to disturb the other people in her room, but not left alone or ignored.

On the contrary, she would be talked to and even have nurses and paramedics clap along with her cadence.

My heart-filled thanks goes out to all the doctors and nurses at Surrey Memorial and Royal Colombian Hospital, Surrey Fire Department, Surrey RCMP, BC Ambulance paramedics, AIM , the Harley Davidson Baggers and Hawgs Den and to the Greater Vancouver Motorcycle Club whose motto is “For The Betterment Of Motorcycling.” A motto never rang more true, demonstrated by the outpouring of support and well wishes for a speedy recovery.

Phone fraud in Delta ▶ SCAMMERS POSING AS POLICE AND TAX AGENTS KEVIN DIAKIW

Delta Police are warning the public of phone scammers who are posing as law enforcement or taxation authorities.

There are two different schemes underway in Delta that are prompting the warning.

In the first, callers are claiming to be fundraising for the “Delta Police Anti-bullying Initiative.” The callers use unidentified or blocked phone numbers and request credit card donations.

Delta Police do not solicit donations by phone or email.

The second scam is a well-documented one in which scammers call (or email) pretending to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The goal is to access your personal and/or banking information.

Often, the scammers add an air of legitimacy by using phone spoofing programs that allow them to display numbers legitimately associated to the businesses they pretend to be calling from.

Police advise: • Never provide personal information over the phone unless speaking to a trusted source; • Do your research: before providing any personal information or donating any money, hang up and double check the information; • Do not click on links in unsolicited emails; • If in doubt, delete the email or hang up the phone •Report attempted frauds to police.

Animal trap warning ▶ JUVENILE SKUNK SNARED IN DELTA EVAN SEAL

Local residents are being warned that animal traps are legal on private property and can be found throughout most cities across Canada.

Recently, a skunk found out the hard way when it was discovered in Delta caught in a Conibear trap – a large wire body-gripping trap designed to kill.

The juvenile skunk was found alive and is now recovering with the Wildlife Rehabilitators Association. But representatives from the Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals want people to be aware these traps exist and to be vigilant when walking pets near farmland or in any wooded area.

“Too often we are hearing of incidents where animals, both wild and domestic, are being caught, terrified and injured in these inherently inhumane traps,” said Adrian Nelson, manager of wildlife conflict for the Fur-Bearer Defenders.

Although many times these traps can be used to stop nuisance critters, Nelson says there are more effective and humane ways to protect your property.

“There is never a legitimate reason for this kind of cruel behaviour – particularly when non-lethal, truly humane solutions to end conflict or nuisance behaviour exist,” he said.

If you do come across a trap, it’s recommended you stay well away and report it to conservation services, as removal can be illegal.

To report a trap call 1-877-952-7277 or #7277 from a cell phone.

Pollara conducted for BMO’s annual debt report.

That’s up more than 26 per cent from $79,089 in 2013.

According to the report, 58 per cent of B.C. households carry credit card debt despite the high interest rates they charge. That’s well above the national average of 52 per cent.

It found 44 per cent in B.C. have mortgages and 10 per cent have student loans.

Seventy-one per cent of B.C. respondents with household debt said they would be stressed if interest rates rose two points – significantly more than the national average of 64 per cent or 59 per cent of Albertans who said a two-point hike would be stressful.

“The sizable number of indebted households that would feel very strained by a relatively moderate increase in interest rates is concerning,” BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri said.

“This is a worrisome side effect of a prolonged period of low interest rates and

▶ “This is a worrisome side effect of ... low interest rates.”

needs to be closely monitored, especially if rates continue to fall.”

Guatieri said the rising household debt levels may be partly explained in some areas by rapidly rising home prices that spur buyers to take on larger mortgages.

Bank officials say an eventual rise in rates to normal levels is inevitable and families should stress-test their ability to withstand the increase and manage their finances in a higher rate environment.

A typical Surrey house now selling for $689,000 requires mortgage payments of $2,840 a month, assuming a 2.7 per cent rate, 10 per cent down payment and 25-year amortization. A twopoint rise to 4.7 per

cent would take that payment up to $3,500.

Too many people in the Lower Mainland in particular are buying homes at prices that leave them barely able to cover the mortgage and associated household costs, said Gary Tymoschuk, vice-president of operations for the Credit Counselling Society.

“Then you throw on an extra credit card or two and it makes it very tight in terms of managing all the debt,” he said.

The society is already called on to help significant numbers of people in financial trouble but it expects the need to increase when rates climb.

“A lot of British Columbians are living pretty close to that wire in terms of our overall indebtedness versus what we can afford to pay,” Tymoschuk said. “The smallest little tick up in the interest rate could certainly negatively affect a lot of people and put a lot of stress on their household budgets.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Winner of PNE Prize Home will enjoy lake view living

I

magine winning the lakeside home of your dreams.

Since 1934, the PNE Prize Home has been one of British Columbia’s most beloved giveaways by changing lives overnight and offering everyday people the chance to own an extraordinary home. This year the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) is proud to unveil what is anticipated to be one of the most popular Prize Homes in recent years.

The historic PNE Prize Home Lottery, which awarded its first home to a lucky fairgoer 81 years ago, is relocating this year’s home to Naramata, B.C, in the heart of the Okanagan wine country.

“We are proud to have located PNE Prize Homes across British Columbia, but we were looking for something very special for the site for our 2015 Home,” says PNE Vice President of Operations Jeff Stickland. “Once we saw the site in The Benchlands development we knew that we had found one of the most spectacular settings we’ve ever had for a PNE Prize Home.”

The Benchlands at Naramata is located on the southeast shore of Okanagan Lake, to the north of Penticton. The area features beautiful scenery, a rich cultural history, sprawling vineyards,

wildlife reserves, and unparalleled views of South Okanagan.

“We’re thrilled to have been chosen as the PNE Prize Home partner,” says Randy Kowalchuk, President of Naramata Benchland Properties Ltd. “The PNE Prize Home is an important BC tradition, and we are confident the lucky winner will be impressed with the incredible views, idyllic settings and strong sense of community that make up the Naramata Benchlands project. This is a special home, and we’re happy to welcome it to a special place in the province.”

Imagine opening up the blinds of the home’s expansive windows to reveal a lake view, then enjoying a cup of coffee while seated on

The two-storey, three-bedroom PNE Prize Home is 3080 square feet of modern convenience, top of the line finishes, and an impressive living green roof, all without losing the charm and calming nature of the Okanagan.

Offering the latest in home technology and environmentally conscious

Prize home includes latest home technology and environmentally conscious features.

features, the modernized home boasts a total value over $2.1 million.

“This home is unlike anything we’ve done before, and we anticipate it will be extremely popular with our guests,” says PNE President and CEO Mike McDaniel. “The Prize Home is a very important part of our annual Fair and history, and to be able to offer such an incredibly beautiful home as part of the Prize Home Lottery is very exciting.”

The PNE chose award-winning premium modular homebuilder, Karoleena, to design and build the modern Prize Home.

“We’re honoured to have been chosen as the builder of the 2015 PNE Prize Home, and to be a part of its rich history,” says Kurt Goodjohn, co-founder and CMO for Karoleena.

“Our goal is to improve the way people live by manufacturing and installing the most beautiful, energy efficient, and technologically advanced homes in the world. We think the Prize Home meets this goal.”

The home comes equipped with indoor furnishings from Lane Home Furnishings featuring Calvin Klein

Home, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and Maytag appliances supplied by Coast Appliances, as well as an in-home, multi-purpose recycling station brought to you by the LightRecycle program.

Outdoors, the lucky homeowner will find accessories from Coast Spas Lifestyles, outdoor furniture from E9 Luxury Living and Napoleon BBQ from The BBQ Shop.

A greener building can have a significant impact on longterm environmental goals, which is why the home was built for LEED Gold registration by utilizing the utmost environmental sustainability practices.

This includes an engineered green roof by Architek and an energy efficient heat exchange system by Energy Saving Products. It is also extremely technologically advanced and uses smart home automations

by Elan Home Systems, including touchpad- and device-controlled thermostat, security system and an audio/visual entertainment unit.

It is anticipated that 100,000 fairgoers will tour the Prize Home at the PNE between August 22 and September 7 (closed August 24 and 31). After the Fair, a lucky winner’s life will be changed when they are awarded the Grand Prize Package.

Then, Karoleena’s innovative home will be relocated to its permanent lot in Naramata, where living life on a lake front lot can begin in peace and comfort. Pinch yourself, it isn’t a dream, it’s home.

Tickets for the Prize Home Lottery can be purchased by phone at 604252-3688, online at www.pneprizehome.ca, at Overwaitea Foods Group locations, by mail, or onsite during the 2015 Fair at the Prize Home preview (2901 E. Hastings Street).

Property tax surcharge urged for province ing more and Canadian investors have an incentive to rent out units rather than leave them vacant.

Tsur Somerville, the director of UBC’s Cen-

tre for Urban Economics and Real Estate who co-wrote the proposal, says the money raised by the province could be used to boost rental housing subsidies and expand the property transfer tax exemption for first-time home buyers.

He suggested a 100 per cent surcharge to double the property tax owners now pay if they are unable to demonstrate they qualify for an exemption.

“Essentially people who live in it as their primary residence or rent it out don’t pay the tax and everybody else does,” he said.

He cautioned that the mechanism would do little to stop the influx of foreign money into B.C. real estate and would likely raise only modest amounts of revenue.

“It’s not like we think this is going to solve anything,” Somerville said.

“But at least you could start taxing people who are increasing the affordability challenges for existing residents and use that to help people who are most hurt by it.”

He said that could happen immediately without waiting for the province to begin to collect data on foreign ownership of property in B.C. He said there might be a case for creating further exemptions for Canadian or B.C. owners of vacation property in resort areas like Whistler or the Gulf Islands.

The provincial government has so far shown little interest in significant reform to counter the rapid rise in real estate prices but has said it will explore options to improve affordability.

Somerville said a well-designed property tax surcharge could meet the premier’s requirement that any new policy not hurt the values of existing homes and the equity of their owners, which could occur if B.C. imposed tougher limits on property purchases by foreigners.

Variants of the same idea exist, he said, including raising the homeowner grant to allow cities or even TransLink to raise their property taxes without impacting most resi-

Local Th oroughbred Yearling and government Mixed Sale hosted in Langley auditor problems confirmed BLACK PRESS

The release of a spring survey of B.C. municipalities confirms the problems that led to the firing of B.C.’s first Auditor General for Local Government in March.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities surveyed the 17 local governments that had participated in former AGLG Basia Ruta’s reviews by March. All but one responded that AGLG staff and auditors lacked understanding of how local government operates in B.C. One community with RCMP service said the AGLG was “not quite sure how to assess our situation” because the municipality had little discretion over the terms of its policing contract.

The survey also found that high turnover in Rutia’s office hampered its performance audits.

That was one of the factors that led to Ruta being fired, after she refused to cooperate with a review of her office’s functions.

Former B.C. auditor general Arn van Iersel was appointed acting AGLG in April and is working with the UBCM on its recommendations, including training of audit staff.

Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year. Clashes with staff at her Surrey office and her supervising board began to emerge, and only one audit was completed in that time.

The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (BC Division) will hold its annual sale of yearling thoroughbreds on Wednesday Sept. 9th at Langley’s Thunderbird Show Park. The auction will start at 3 p.m.

Interested buyers are welcome to visit the Show Park on Sept. 8th to view

prospective champions at the Yearling Parade at 3 p.m.

A free information session will be held at 6 p.m. on September 2nd at the Derby Bar and Grill for those who are considering purchasing a racehorse (either individually or with a group) and who would like to learn about racehorse

dents. Only Canadian citizens qualify for the homeowner grant.

Alternatively, the UBC profs’ letter says the province could enable a revenue-neutral progressive property tax where a higher surcharge on more expensive properties is rebated as a provincial income tax credit, which non-B.C. tax filers could not claim.

Finance ministry officials indicate they’re studying the proposals, among others.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson this spring proposed a higher property transfer tax to hit luxury homes harder when they change hands.

Cameron Muir, chief economist for the B.C. Real Estate Association, doubted the property tax surcharge idea would have much benefit for those having difficulty buying a home.

“If the purpose here is to fill provincial coffers with additional tax revenue coming from people from outside of British Columbia, it sounds good,” Muir said.

“If the goal is that by causing a surcharge on foreign investors that somehow that is going to make housing more affordable, there’s no evidence to suggest that.”

He said foreign investors are not buying homes of the type built for first-time buyers.

“The connection there is tenuous at best.”

June saw continued strong sales activity in the Metro Vancouver area, with detached house prices topping $1.1 million, up nearly 15 per cent from a year ago.

“That’s coming from broad-based housing demand from people who live, work and raise their families here,” Muir said.

#OwnerApproved

Workers exposed to airborne asbestos fibres released at construction sites can contract cancers and other asbestos-related diseases decades later.

Asbestos has emerged as B.C.’s top workplace killer, with 581 related deaths in the past decade, 77 of them last year.

Those deaths were mostly due to industrial exposure of trades people at high levels 20 to 40 years ago, but Johnson fears more gradual exposure in construction and demolition will be the new killer of the future.

Contributing to the problem is the soaring price of land in Metro Vancouver that has fuelled a boom in demolitions as hundreds of older houses are cleared away each year to make way for the dream homes of buyers. “The housing market is playing into this in a significant way because many old homes built prior to the mid-80s are just being purchased for the land and torn down,� Johnson said.

Some contractors or home owners have no clue about the risks or the health and safety laws that apply, he said, while others are trying to dodge the cost of dealing with

the danger responsibly. “You can come in and demolish with backhoe or an excavator and have a big pile of rubble and try to haul it off somewhere.

That’s a lot different than having a team of people go in properly protected.�

Five cities – Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Saanich and Nanaimo – require demolition permit applicants to first provide hazardous material survey results.

Renovations are more difficult for enforcement officers to spot and police.

Johnson said WorkSafeBC is appealing to home owners to get a responsible contractor. “The last thing you want is somebody tearing out your kitchen and then somebody later on saying ‘that was all asbestos.’ Now you and your family and your kids and everybody else may have been exposed and breathed in a hazardous material.�

The enforcement blitz begins this month and continues until the end of the year.

Long-awaited project ‘a huge solution’ ▶ NEW RENTAL HOUSING APARTMENT COMPLEX IN SOUTH SURREY WILL PROVIDE INDEPENDENT LIVING FOR THOSE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

From left: Semiahmoo House Society Executive Director Doug Tennant, Marcon Project Supervisor Nic Paolella, Beryl Kohler and Stacey Kohler look over a rendering of the inclusive apartment project planned for societyowned land next to the administration and services building on 24 Avenue near 153 Street.

ALEX BROWNE

There’s no other way for a beaming Stacey Kohler to describe it.

The prospect of having her own apartment in a new rental-housing development planned

by Semiahmoo House Society in South Surrey is a “dream come true,” she said.

The 32-year-old developmentally disabled athlete – she won bronze with Team Canada in the 3,000-metre race at the Special Olympic World Summer Games in 2011 – is friendly, a great talker and hard worker in the society’s food services program who also loves to be a part of the general community through her part-time landscaping work.

But finding independent housing for someone in her situation is an almost insurmountable obstacle, as society executive director Doug Tennant notes.

The best that can be done, usually, is a group home or a home share.

“People with developmental disabilities have a huge limitation on where they can live,” he said. “What generally happens in Surrey is that people end up living with their parents.”

But that’s changed with the new development, a long-standing dream for the society and former executive director Paul Wheeler.

Over 10 years ago the society started the purchase of four residential lots adjacent to its administration and services building for just such a building.

The original plan was to build 55 strata

▶ “People with developmental disabilities have a huge limitation on where they can live. What generally happens in Surrey is that people end up living with their parents.”

DOUG TENNANT

ALEX BROWNE

condo units, of which maybe 12-15 would be owned by the society and available to developmentally disabled people it supports.

But that changed when the society’s builder and developer, Marcon, came back with a different idea.

As an organization not driven by maximizing profit, the society, it suggested, could afford to build a rental building that its foundation – the Semiahmoo Foundation – would own in perpetuity.

Now approved after fourth reading by the City of Surrey, the “inclusive apartment project” will include 71 units, 20 of which will be made available to developmentally disabled tenants as either rentals or long-term leases, and 51 will be offered to the general public at affordable, below-market rates.

Construction got underway in May and could be complete and ready for occupancy as soon as the fall of 2016, Marcon Project Supervisor Nic Paolella said.

Tennant said the society has been told by city staff it’s the first purpose-built affordable

rental option in Surrey in three decades.

But while Stacey’s mom, Beryl, shares the excitement that the project will benefit the community at large, she’s overjoyed and relieved that her daughter will be able to have a housing placement that fits her needs exactly.

It will mean an apartment right where she works and at the centre of the recreational activities she most enjoys – things like dance, musical theatre and movie-night drop-ins – now that the international competition phase of her athletic career is coming towards its end.

“She’s so vulnerable and she’s lived at home all her life,” she said. “As a parent of a child with special needs you wonder what’s going to happen when you’re no longer there for her. This will provide the independence she desperately wants, but also the safety she needs.”

She and her husband first started bringing Stacey to Semiahmoo House when she was 19, she said. They were living in North Delta

at the time, but Semiahmoo House was a place where Stacey immediately felt at home and connected with the staff, community and volunteers.

“We’ve been in White Rock seven years,” Beryl said. “We actually moved here because of Semiahmoo House, because we were always dropping her off in the morning and picking her up at night.”

Paolella said he believes that the Semiahmoo House project doesn’t have to be a oneoff in the development market.

“It’s a huge solution to (affordable housing),” he said.

“A lot of the time affordable rentals come by way of building getting very old, and that’s been an issue. But being able to work with a non-profit organization – one that doesn’t have a mandate for profit, an opportunity presents itself.

“Now that we’ve created the model, we hope it’s one that can be replicable elsewhere.”

Teens at digital boot camp ▶ MASTERS OF DIGITAL MEDIA PROGRAM TEACHING STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE BLACK PRESS

Surrey’s Palbir Dhaliwal and Sumrit Sanghera, both 16, are soaking up knowledge this summer at the Centre for Digital Media’s (CDM) Tomorrow’s Masters of Digital Media (MDM) Program.

The program is an intensive threeweek summer boot camp for teens at Vancouver’s Centre for Digital Media.

The boot camp is taught by CDM faculty and uses the same state-of-the-art equipment that the MDM students use to earn their master’s degree.

The boot camp began on Aug. 10 and runs through Aug. 28, with 11 teens from Grades 9 to 12 enrolled.

During this program, students are learning basic software skills and game design, how to critique video games, how to tell stories through digital media, and the business aspects of digital media.

About 240 students have graduated at the MDM program since 2008.

KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE

HOW TO SELL YOUR HOME

Prepare For Your Own Purchase Before selling your home, give some careful thought about where you will live next.

Planning ahead will save the time and money associated with moving multiple times or trying to get out of a deal after you sign a purchase agreement. Your Realtor can help you locate a new home or rental before you close.

Get The Home Show Ready If you can afford it, do whatever you can to make your home move-in ready. That means replacing ripped screens, broken baseboards, leaky faucets and making cosmetic repairs, as well as updating landscaping.

Get The Help of a Good Real-Estate Agent Many people choose real-estate agents based on referrals from family and friends, but look beyond that to make sure you’re working with someone who does a lot of business in your particular neighborhood. While sales information for individual agents often isn’t publicly available, you could check with your local Realtor association group for the data,

call the local multiple-listing service or ask a brokerage about their top sellers.

Price It Right A good real-estate agent will help you price the home right—from the start. Overpricing often means a longer stay on the market as well as future price cuts—which often makes a home listing look stale and less desirable.

Market The Home Appropriately In addition to getting on the multiple-listing service, or MLS, as well as home listing sites online, your real-estate agent might recommend other methods of advertising, including open houses and direct mail postcards. Ask the agent how he or she plans on marketing the property before hiring the agent.

Quality photography of the home is also important. Those who use professional realestate photos sell listed homes 32% faster than all other listings.

Make The House Available Some sellers create restrictions on when their home can be shown, but being inflexible on this point can hurt you. If people want to see it now, they’re going to contact that agent and going to want to see it immediately. Make your home available for all of the daylight hours. Otherwise, within two days, prospective buyers will find another home and forget yours.

Plan Your Negotiation Know what you will and won’t give up when it comes to your sale, from price to closing date, repairs to closing costs. Knowing what outcome

you want in advance will help you avoid haggling over minor items that could cost you the sale.

Finally, don’t focus as much on the final sales price as on the final net price. Many first-time buyers ask for sellers to help with closing costs, for example, which affects the net cost.

FRASER VALLEY REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) saw the highest number of real estate transactions ever recorded for the month of July.

There were 2,184 property sales processed, an increase of 35 per cent compared to 1,615 sales in July of last year.

The previous highest July was in 2009, with 2,089 sales and prior to that in 2005.

Jorda Maisey is the Board’s President. “Home ownership is a passion in our country and in our region currently, conditions couldn’t be better to support that goal.

Interest rates are the lowest they’ve been in six years, our provincial economy is on track to be the strongest in the country this year and in the Fraser Valley we have amongst the most affordable homes in the region.

The Fraser Valley Board’s MLS® showed 7,681 active listings at the end of July, a decrease of 20 percent compared to the 9,636 listings available in July of last year. It received 3 per cent more new listings in July; 2,815 compared to the 2,724 new listings received during the same month last year.

The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark price of a detached home in July was $621,100, an increase of 9.3 per cent compared to July of last year when it was $568,300. The MLS® HPI benchmark price of Fraser Valley townhouses increased 2.1 per cent going from $298,500 in July of last year to $304,900 last month. The benchmark price of apartments decreased year-over-year by 1 per cent, going from $194,700 in July of last year to $192,700 last month.
