fi nally fi nding the time to pursue her dream of getting a higher

education. Since September, she’s been upgrading courses in English and math at Invergar-ry Adult Education Centre in Surrey.Now a single mom recently

separated from her husband, Rahimyar’s short-term goal is to complete her Grade 12 courses – which she hopes will build her confi dence – so she can get a job and a steady income to support her family.But she envisions even more for

her future.“My longterm goal is to go to

university,” she says. “It’s always

been a dream.”As of next month, however,

that goal will be more diffi cult for her to achieve.Beginning in May, adults who

have graduated from high school – in Canada or elsewhere – but who want to upgrade their high school courses, will have to foot the bill. Current rules have allowed adults with high school diplomas to attend local public learning centres to upgrade courses free of charge.

Music, singing and plenty of smiles greeted Indian Prime Min-ister Narendra Modi as he arrived at a Hindu temple in Surrey on Th ursday.

Accompanied by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Modi was received by thousands of jubilant people at the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir on 140 Street at 84 Avenue.

Th e leaders’ visit aimed to strengthen ties between the two countries.

“I can’t think of a greater place to talk about relations between Canada and India,” Harper said as he addressed the crowd of about 3,500 people.

Modi’s two-day visit to Canada, which included stops in Otta-wa, Toronto and Vancouver, was Modi’s fi rst visit here since tak-ing offi ce as head of the world’s largest democracy. His Bharatiya Janata Party won an absolute majority in elections last year.

Modi’s trip here is the fi rst bilateral visit by an Indian prime minister to Canada since 1973. Th e last Indian prime minister to visit was Indira Gandhi and she did not come to Western Canada.

Not everyone welcomed Modi’s presence, however.A group of about 200 protesters waving banners and placards

also gathered outside the temple during Modi’s visit.Critics have drawn attention to the deadly riots that took place

in Gujarat, India more than a decade ago while Modi was a senior minister there.

Several hundred people were killed as a result of rioting and police counter-activity. Th e violence was due to religious ten-sions, with Hindus attacking Muslims and Sikhs.

In 2012, Modi was cleared of complicity by a special investiga-tion team appointed by the Supreme Court of India.

Th is week, Canada and India signed several memoranda of understanding in a range of areas, including civil aviation, rail regulation, education and skills development, space cooper-ation, and projects focused on maternal, newborn and child health.

Modi also announced that India will begin issuing visas upon arrival, which will make it easier for Canadians to travel to India.

“With its expanding population and impressive economic growth, India represents tremendous opportunities for Canadi-an companies,” Harper said.

“But we have only begun to scratch the surface of our true commercial potential. Th at is why Prime Minister Modi and I were pleased by the scope and volume of bilateral initiatives and commercial agreements that took place during his visit. Th ese initiatives will help to fur-ther strengthen our relations.”

Earlier Th ursday, Modi and Harper also visited the Ross Street Sikh Temple in Vancou-ver, where again, they were greeted by a crowd of both supporters and protesters.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

The man killed in a shooting early Sunday morning in Surrey is the nephew of a local politician.

The Leader has confirmed the 22-year-old victim, Arun Paul Singh Bains, is the nephew of Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains.

A spokesperson from the B.C. NDP said Harry Bains would be spending time with family Monday and would not be available for comment.

Arun Bains was rushed to hospital shortly before 3 a.m. April 19 after being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. He succumbed to his injuries shortly after.

A dark-coloured, four-door Mazda 3 riddled with bullet holes – believed to be the vehicle Bains was in – remained at the shooting scene Sunday.

The deadly shooting was another in a string of about two dozen gun incidents in Surrey and North Delta in the past month and a half. This is the first one to claim a life and is precisely what police feared would happen.

Last week, Surrey RCMP and Delta Police announced they believed the shooting

spree stemmed from a drug turf war between rival groups of Somalian and South Asians. They even took the step of releasing names and photos of men believed to be involved in hopes someone would be able to shed light on their activities.

Though the violence has resulted in several people being injured, the victims have not been cooperative with investigators, often mocking them and telling them they don’t need to get involved.

Following Bains’ death, police have now have an addi-tional worry.

“Our deep concern now is that there may be a retaliation incident.

“We are appealing to those involved in this ongoing dispute to not take any more lives and to under-stand that this is more than gunplay, it’s murder,” said Sur-rey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr.

He urged anyone with information to come forward “before another young person is killed.”

A new 24-hour tip line has been estab-lished: 604-915-6566.

▼ POLICE APPEAL TO THOSE INVOLVED TO NOT TAKE ANYMORE LIVESfrom page 3

Special tip line created in wake of deadly shooting

SHEILA REYNOLDS

Police have a plan to address the recent gun violence in Surrey and Delta streets, and say although the community should be con-cerned, residents need not live in fear.

Part of that plan, announced at a press conference Monday, was to establish a special tip line, as well as speak with suspects believed to be involved in the violence, along with their family, friends and acquaintances.

Offi cials from local and regional police forces, along with Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, held a press conference at RCMP headquar-ters in Surrey Monday, on the heels of the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Arun Bains on Sun-day morning.

Th e young man’s death is believed to be linked to a series of brazen street shootings involving rival drug dealers that has plagued Surrey and Delta in recent weeks.

RCMP Assistant Commission-er Dan Malo said the situation is a complex one, “not solved

with a simple injection of police resources.”

Rather, he said, it would take a change of behaviour and that the community outreach strategies being utilized were eff ective in the past during confl icts in other communities, such as Vancouver, Abbotsford and Kelowna.

“Th is is not a Surrey issue,” Malo said. “Th is is an issue of individuals that have chosen to take a particular area that they see is profi table and take it by force.”

He said while resi-dents should be con-cerned, they shouldn’t be fearful, as the people involved are concentrat-ing on one another rath-er than targeting the community at large.

Malo said the best thing citi-zens can do is report what they know.

“Th ese individuals aren’t fl oating around our community unknown to anybody else,” he said. “Th ey have family, they have friends, they have relatives, they have mothers, they have fathers, they have cousins. Th is is not a secret amongst some of the com-munities and we need to break into that in order to fi x it.”

Police said last week the vio-

lence was linked to two groups of young feuding drug dealers in the South Asian and Somalian communities, most of whom have not been cooperative with investigators.

While off ering condolences to the Bains family (the victim was the neph-ew of Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains – see related story on page 3) Hepner appealed direct-ly to those involved to stop before more lives are lost.

“Take a sober look at the grim results of your actions. What happened yesterday is a fate that can befall you,” she said, adding the “code of silence” will only result

in more heartache.Surrey RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy

said outreach so far has been helpful in advancing the investi-gation, and he again urged people with information to come forth.

“You can make an individual choice to stop the violence,” Fordy said. “Residents and children do not deserve to live in fear. Do the right and brave thing. Tell police what you know.”

Anyone with information can call the new 24-hour tip line at 604-915-6566.

Th e B.C. Liberal government’s sale of Crown properties to help balance its election budget was the dominant story in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evidence of a “fi re sale” that may have left millions on the table.

Th ey started with Burke Mountain, the biggest single deal involving 14 view properties in Coquitlam. Th e buyer was a prominent developer whose array of companies happened to donate nearly $1 million to the B.C. Liberal Party since 2000.

Th e $85-million price tag was similar to the B.C. Assessment Authority value on these forested properties, but an outside appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate market.

(Th is sale made headlines last fall for the province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefi ned territori-al claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commission).

Th e government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citi-zens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk was caught fl at-footed and tried to get by on platitudes rather than retreat and fi nd some answers.

Premier Christy Clark weighed in, arguing that the budget would have balanced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the election-year budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset sales were detailed in three successive budgets. Th ey downplayed the notion of land sales being rushed.

Th en the NDP produced a string of emails sent between senior offi cials re-sponsible for selling two big properties across the street from the legislature.

“To be part of the sale and devel-opment of over eight acres of Vic-toria’s beautiful inner harbour area is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that normally would warrant years of planning and prepa-ration,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat. “Unfortunately we don’t

have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the bank by March 31, 2013.”

Th en came a disclosure about a prop-erty in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospital site. Once the existing hospital was expanded, that property was declared surplus. Indeed, de Jong featured this property to promote the government’s plan to stimulate local economies with private sector investment on unused land.

Th e Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fi scal year. NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an out-side appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million.

Th e appraiser also recommended that the “highest and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or offi ce development.

De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted.

But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbitrary deadlines that had every-thing to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to balance the books. When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality.

It’s also worth recalling that the budget defi cits prior to the 2013 elec-tion were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the Harmonized Sales Tax, rather than the harsh forces of international fi nance.

Surplus asset sales have a long tra-dition in B.C., where the government owns more than 90 per cent of all land. But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has issued a report on seniors in residen-tial care which has gained a great deal of attention. Th e attention is long overdue.

Mackenzie points out that there are more seniors in res-idential care than need to be. She suggests that many could actually be in assisted living, which is less labour-inten-sive and less costly, or living in their homes with more assistance from community programs.

Not only would this be a better way of living for these individuals, as they would have considerably more independence, it would save the B.C. government a pot of money.

Mackenzie estimates that as many as 15 per cent of the 25,000 people in residential care could be in less-intensive

care facilities. Rectifying this could save the province mil-lions of dollars each year.

Mackenzie, who did a survey of the elderly in residential care and the 29,000 home care clients, also found that far too many seniors are being given drugs to control their behaviour.

One-third of those in res-idential care are being given anti-psychotic drugs, even though the number actually needing those drugs is far smaller. Only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

Meanwhile, about twice as many seniors as actually need them are receiving anti-de-pressants.

It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that government offi cials and those running

care facilities are drugging res-idents indiscriminately, likely to control behaviour.

Th is is simply not right. Th ey should only be given prescrip-tion medicine they really need.

Health Minister Terry Lake acknowledges that too many seniors in care are receiving anti-psychotic and anti-de-pressant drugs and said there is training underway to ensure that staff members know what drugs are appropriate for peo-ple living in residential care.

Nonetheless, Mackenzie has highlighted two import-ant issues which will be of benefi t to both seniors and taxpayers if there is proper follow-through.

Seniors deserve proper health services and they must also be treated with dignity.

Re: “I want to see it stopped. I’ve had enough of this,” Th e Leader, April 15.

 Th e statement made by Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner regarding the recent gun violence in Surrey is laughable. 

I don’t mean that gun violence is a joke, but rather, the mayor’s comments are. For whatever reason she had, telling the public that the investiga-tion into the recent shooting in our city is top priority is a good message, but it is nothing more than sensationalism.

 Let’s face it, I’m sure the RCMP take shoot-ings as seriously as any other major crime. I’m sure they know what consequences result in gun violence, and I’m also sure they don’t need to be told by a politician how to deal with the situation.

 If I was the chief of the Surrey RCMP de-tachment my comment to her would be this: “We will investigate this as a top priority but it would be helpful if we had more offi cers to allocate to the task at hand.”

 Where are the additional offi cers the mayor had promised when she was elected? She’s had time to raise taxes to pay for these offi cers, so where are they?

I don’t expect to see all 100 offi cers right away, but have any more been hired? Four months into her mayoral duties and not a peep about more offi cers being hired. Why?

 Oh wait, I know why, because she just spent $200,000 of taxpayers’ money on promoting a “yes” vote for the upcoming transit plebiscite – money that could have been spent hiring at least two

more RCMP offi cers. Mayor Hepner, if

you’ve “had enough of this,”  then perhaps you should stop talking about it and start do-ing something about it.

 Gard Penny, Surrey

Letter writer L. Mackintosh (“Stop wasting taxpayer money”) has justifi able concerns about spe-cifi c instances of wasted taxpayer money at TransLink, but profes-sional auditors with the writer’s requested “defi nite accountabili-ty” have a diff erent view.

“Th ey’ve tightened operations over the past few years. I don’t think they’re wasteful,” said in-dependent commissioner Robert

Irwin after his 2013 review of TransLink’s entire operation.

In Nov. 2014, Moody’s Investors Service gave TransLink an Aa2 rating because of “solid gover-nance and management practices” and a “track record of fi nding cost effi ciencies.”

Will the 0.5-per-cent tax be in-creased later? Th at’s entirely up to the province, not TransLink. No one except the “no” campaigners have expressed any intention of increasing this tax.

Th e ballot promises an annual, public accounting of the money raised to ensure it’s spent only on the transportation improvements

in the Mayors’ Plan.As for low-income families and

seniors mentioned in the letter, they will pay less than 10 cents a day per person and disproportion-ately benefi t from the transpor-tation improvements. Th at’s why the Coalition of Seniors’ Organi-zations, Disability Alliance BC and the B.C. Federation of Labour are among the 140 groups supporting a “yes” vote.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Delta Police offi cer has been charged with careless use of a fi rearm in connection with an incident in Surrey in November 2013.

Const. Vicken Movses-sian was charged April 15 and is to appear in Surrey Provincial Court April 27.

Th e charge approval comes after an investiga-tion by the Independent Investigations Offi ce of B.C., which probes

all police offi cer-related incidents that result in death or serious harm. In this case, police were dealing with the occu-pants of a car near 108 Avenue and 148 Street on Nov. 7, 2013.

“It is alleged that in the course of the incident a fi rearm was discharged, resulting in injury to the male occu-pant of the vehicle,” says a press release from the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch.

Fire at drug lab

A chemical drug lab was discovered following a fi re at a home in Surrey on Friday.

Surrey RCMP were called after the Surrey Fire Department ex-tinguished the blaze at about 2:30 p.m. April 17. Th e E-Division Clandes-tine Lab team attended the residence, confi rmed it was the site of a drub lab and executed a search warrant.

Th e investigation is ongoing.

Fatal crash in Delta

Th e driver of a pick-up truck died after a crash in Delta Friday after-noon.

Th e single-vehicle accident involving a green Chevrolet truck took place at Deltaport Way and Arthur Drive at

about 6 p.m. Th e truck hit a traffi c light pole head on, tearing the vehicle in two.

Death investigated

Police are asking for the public’s assistance following a suspicious death in Surrey early Saturday (April 18).

Surrey RCMP responded to a call in the 13800-block of Hansen Rd. and learned a 57- year-old male had been found deceased by roommates. One male was arrested and interviewed by IHIT (Integrated Homicide Investigation Team), then released without charge pending further investigation.

“It is our belief the victim and suspect knew each,” said Sgt. Stephanie Ashton of IHIT.

DIABETES COACH STUDYLooking for Participants

The University of Victoria and Fraser Health are conducting

a study to evaluate the effectiveness of peer coaches for

persons with type 2 diabetes. This research study is funded

by the Lawson Foundation of Canada. Interested persons

must be adults with type 2 diabetes living in the Fraser

Health Region and able to speak English or Punjabi.

The objective of the study is to determine whether peer

diabetes coaches can assist persons with type 2 diabetes to

better manage their condition.

Interested persons will be randomly assigned to a group

that receives a coach for six months or to a group that

receives usual care.

For more information please contact: Suzanne (Study

Coordinator) at University of Victoria at 604-940-8973.

Depending on the number of courses, the new fees could amount to several hundred, if not thousands, of dol-lars for adult students.Th e provincial gov-

ernment announced in December that as of May 1, it will no longer provide funding to school districts to cover courses for adults who already have their high school diploma – from anywhere in the world. Th e Ministry of Education website lists 34 classes (including English 12, Math 12 and Chemistry 12) that will no longer be subsidized.In the Surrey School

District, there are about 4,000 full- and part-time adult education students – about a third of whom will be aff ected by the funding changes. Th e courses will remain tuition-free for those working toward their Grade 12 graduation for the fi rst time.For Rahimyar, though

she’s been able to take courses for free thus far, now that she’s at the Grade 11 level, she’ll be required to pay. And that’s money she simply

doesn’t have.“I have no idea,” she

says when asked what she’ll do when the fees kick in. “Sometimes I don’t want to think about it.”Aaron Douglas, a

teacher at Invergarry, sympathizes with his students. Th e school’s population, he ex-plains, is not simply those who dropped out or didn’t try in high school, but includes people who may have suff ered health issues or had learning disabil-ities and are working to improve their marks.But he fi nds the

funding cuts especially unfair for immigrants like Rahimyar, who graduated abroad.“I think it’s completely

unjust to charge some-one who graduated in Kenya or a third-world country,” Douglas says. “Even if they have graduated, their diplo-ma isn’t recognized by the post-secondary in-stitutions here. You’re basically trapping them and saying ‘well, if you can aff ord it, great, if you can’t, too bad.’”In Delta and Vancou-

ver, fees for the adult education courses will be $550 each.

Th e Surrey Board of Education has not yet set an amount but is scheduled to address the matter at the April 23 public board meeting.In making the fund-

ing announcement, Education Minister Peter Fassbender emphasized that as long as it’s an adult student’s fi rst time fi nishing high school, nothing will change. It’s only already-grad-uated adults who’ll have to pay up.“High school is free,

but further upgrading is not,” Fassbender said. “I think it is

reasonable to expect adults who’ve already graduated to contrib-ute to these costs.” Rahimyar, however,

still can’t understand why the government would put up barriers to her improving her circumstances. If she studies, she says, she can get off income assistance and better contribute to society. And that, she says, would also help make the future brighter for her daughters.“If I can’t get an edu-

cation, which is every-body’s right, what is the hope for the next generation?”

Th e City of Surrey has launched a counter-claim in response to lawsuits fi led over the construc-tion of Surrey City Hall in Whalley – a project that went beyond both deadline and over budget.

For more than a year, lawsuits have been mounting against the City of Surrey and general contractor PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. (PCL).

Th e 180,000-sq.-ft. city hall was to be complete by September 2013, but ran late by fi ve months.

It was then that liens on the property began to build.

Th ey were swiftly followed by lawsuits from the trades working on the project.

In December 2014, PCL fi led a Notice of Civil Claim in Supreme Court claiming it is owed $8.7 million above the $125 million the company has already been paid.

(Th e city has long maintained it was a $97 million project).

Of the money it says it’s owed, PCL claims it cost $361,720 to make the unfi nished city hall ready for the October, 2013 May-or’s Charity Gala event.

In this month’s response to the PCL claim, the city denies nearly all of the assertions made.

In fact, none of the claims on either side have been proven in court.

PCL is one in a long list of com-panies suing over the construc-tion of city hall.

Zoran Vukelic, owner of Wolf Masonry Ltd., told Th e Leader last January the project was a “night-mare for every party involved.”

Ron Fettback, vice-president of operations for Western  Pacifi c Enterprises (WPE), said in Janu-ary his company, and others, have been treated poorly by the city.

Fettback says he was made responsible for retrofi tting the unfi nished city hall so it could be used for the mayor’s annual fundraising ball which took place Oct. 18, 2013.

He said the work cost him $90,000.

“It’s completely unacceptable to do that,” Fettback said at the time. “If we’re having a dispute, let’s resolve it in a fair and reasonable manner.”

Th e issue is expected to wind its way through the courts for some time.

A dozen students at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Surrey have been disciplined for allegedly circulating inappropriate photos of other students at the school.

According to Doug Strachan, communica-tions manager for the

Surrey School District, a student reported to school offi cials that some senior students had suggestive photos of girls at Lord Tweeds-muir.

“School and district offi cials began an in-vestigation and police have been notifi ed,” said Strachan, adding

the discipline involved both boys and girls in Grades 11 and 12.

He couldn’t say whether the students were suspended or expelled, citing privacy concerns.

“It’s certainly unfor-tunate for the students involved,” Strachan said, “but also that a

handful or so students of almost 2,000 at Lord Tweedsmuir can bring this kind of attention to the school when there have been many examples of very posi-tive student initiatives and actions support-ing their community in and outside of the school.”

There’s a touch of Italian luxury in Crescent Beach, thanks to Tuscan Developments and its president, Mark Peers.

Their recent renovation takes advantage of a fantastic location to create a home that’s perfect for a family, and unrecognizable from the original home. Peers purchased the existing house, built in 1975, because he saw it as a “wonderful opportunity” to create something beautiful.

“The home had great bones,” he says. “Everything was in ex-cellent shape. This saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars by using the existing house.”

The $2-million renovation, which changed both the layout and the exterior facade, took a year from beginning to end, and later sold for over $5 million after the house was completed. Peers calls the home Villa del Sol Ponente, which means House of the Sinking Sun in Italian.

It’s an appropriate name.“From the kitchen you look through French doors over the in-

finity pool and to the ocean,” he says. Sunsets are never in the short supply through the huge windows, and the homeowners

are able to take advantage of unrestricted 180-degree views of the Pacific ocean to the west and the surrounding forest to the east.

The original home didn’t take advantage of these surroundings.“It was designed for an urban lot that was built looking in-

ward instead of outward,” says Peers. “We focused on the ocean and brought it into the home.”

Peers and his team removed all of the interior walls from the main floor of the home, and created a seamless open floor plan.

“We put in major steel beams to support the second floor after we removed the walls from the main floor,” he says. “This house had too many bedrooms, so we removed the bedroom above the living room and created 20-foot ceilings. It enabled us to place large windows above the new French doors.”

Light now pours into the home through those large windows, and the doors open onto the pool and garden area.

“I love the layout; it’s just to die for,” says Peers. “From the kitchen, the living room is on the left and a kids’ playroom is on the right with a fireplace and doors that open onto the pool. It means the family can all be together without being on top of each other.”

The original family room is now called the Arizona Room, after Peers removed the exterior wall and replaced it with an Eclipse Moving Wall that can open up completely to the outside. It holds an indoor fire pit that can be used for barbecues year-

round, and has direct access to the pool and hot tub.The kitchen, now moved to the centre of the home, is seriously

spectacular, with granite flooring and marble countertops. Peers and his team also added a spice kitchen off the main kitchen.

“The spice kitchen is where the action happens!” says Peers.There is also a wine cellar and huge pantry that blends seam-

lessly with style of the elegant kitchen.The main floor also features a stunning powder room, which

was integral to the renovation.“The powder room is the most important room in the house,”

Peers says. “When people come over, they form an opinion of you and your home from looking at the powder room. This one … is really beautiful.”

Another important room is the laundry room, which Peers notes is integral to the successful running of the house when you have a family.

“You spend half your life in there!” he says.Now, the no-longer-utilitarian laundry room has plenty of

space for sorting, folding and ironing, as well as tons of storage.The beauty continues upstairs. With the removal of some of

the floors upstairs to create the 20-foot ceilings in the living area, Peers was able to create a floating walkway that adds to the incredible sense of space in the home.

Every bedroom now has ocean views, a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom. The master bathroom in particular is gorgeous.

“The old bathroom was horrid,” Peers says. “It was a 1976 shagadelic pink bathroom with no windows.”

Now, the master bath has a huge window beside the soaker tub that overlooks the ocean, dual vanities and a large luxurious shower.

The low-ceilinged, dark basement below the living room has become a home theatre with eight-foot ceilings after Peers raised the floor above. There is also a Tuscan-style bar and French doors that lead to the garden.

Outside, the pool required a foundation that would cradle the pool six feet in the air. Peers then built the pool around it to cre-ate the infinity style.

Villa del Sol Ponente is now a treasured family home, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.

“The reason you want to renovate is because you want your home to be the place you want to come home to,” Peers says. “You want it to embrace your lifestyle and reflect you. You want it to be the space where you feel most comfortable and happy.”

When it comes to choosing a renovator for your home, Peers recommends that the homeowner speak to past clients.

“We always ask our clients if we can show the home and have an open house,” he says. “That way future customers can talk to the owners and ask questions. Our modus operandi is to intro-duce future customers to old customers.”

He also notes that homeowners should never rush into a ren-ovation.

“The more time you spend planning and organizing, the less it will cost you and the happier you will be,” Peers says.

A renovation, no matter how large, is a major change to your home and your life, and trusting the person doing the renova-tion is an integral part of keeping your sanity at the end of the day. Peers and his team want to ensure that the process is as painless as possible.

“All of our customers become friends of mine,” he says. “We love them, and we love what we do.”outdoor dining terrace and covered lounge.

The level above is a private haven with three bedrooms. The mas-ter bedroom has its own dressing room and luxurious ensuite.

The top level has another bedroom, as well as a sitting room, library, play room and laundry room.

Teragon also expanded the basement of the home, from half crawl space and half basement to a basement with 10-foot ceil-ings throughout. That basement now holds a games room, home theatre, wine cellar and gym, making the home an entertainer’s paradise.

The home has plenty of heritage-style touches, such as wal-nut panelling and flooring laid in a herringbone pattern. The bronzed railing on the sweeping staircase was inspired by an art noveau railing from Brussels, Belgium, and was hand-forged. Custom millwork, five fireplaces, custom stained glass and natu-ral stone elements are just a few of the other luxurious aspects of The Mayfair.

Van Linge himself is a journeyman carpenter, noting that he enjoys bringing those old-fashioned elements to his work.

“Something that sets us apart is our eye for detail,” he says. “You can’t execute these kinds of ideas without being able to see the (small) details.”

The renovations were completed last year and the owner has since sold the home, but Van Linge and his team are still in-volved with the new owners, assisting them with the operations of the house.

“We’re still working with them to maintain and service the ex-terior paint and the HVAC system, for example,” says Van Linge.

For more information about The Mayfair and Teragon Devel-opments, visit www.teragon.ca.

The home’s main floor now has an open-plan layout and elegant kitchen (above left and top). Peers and his team also built a Tuscan-style bar in the basement (above).

Experts walk the talk on safe digging

Even the experts call before they dig

When a group of FortisBC gas operations managers and su-pervisors volunteered to plant trees and shrubs at Kelowna’s Ro-tary Marsh, they made sure to call BC One Call before they put any shovels in the ground.

Chris Hyland, FortisBC regional manager, Interior south, said the crew knew to call BC One Call a few days before doing the work to ensure they had enough time to receive and review information about underground utilities in the area.

“When you work around FortisBC utility lines regularly, it be-comes second nature to call before you dig,” said Hyland, who is also president of BC One Call. “But getting the information is just the first step. It’s just as important to make sure you under-stand that information and then follow safe digging practices, like start with hand digging when you know you’re working near underground utilities.”

The FortisBC employees received the location information of any underground utilities in the area – including natural gas and electricity lines– and clearly marked them before planting in the marsh.

Only then did they start digging holes to plant ponderosa pine, dogwood, sumac, choke cherry, willow and snowberry, helping to restore the downtown wetland to its natural state.

National Safe Digging Month

April is Safe Digging Month, a time to help educate and in-crease awareness about knowing what’s below ground before you start digging.

FortisBC historically experiences a spike in the number of calls to repair damage to underground utility lines in the spring-time with the start of construction season and homeowners starting their landscaping projects.

Ninety-nine per cent of damage to the natural gas system is

caused by third parties such as construction crews, contractors and homeowners. The vast majority of those incidents could be prevented by calling BC One Call and following safe digging procedures. If you do happen to damage a natural gas line, you could be on the hook for costly repairs.

“Once you have the information about underground utilities, take time to look at the map and if you have some questions we’re here to help,” said Ian Turnbull, damage prevention and emergency services manager at FortisBC.

Call before you dig

Whether you’re installing a fence or doing landscaping, al-ways call or click BC One Call before you dig and they’ll notify the member utility companies, including FortisBC. Then, the utilities will provide you with line location information for free.

Call or click: BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886, cellular *6886 or click bconecall.ca.

Review: Within two days, you will receive location informa-tion. Review it before you begin digging.

Clarify: If you’re still not sure where to dig, or don’t under-stand the information, ask FortisBC for help at 1-888-822-6555.

FortisBC employees called BC One Call to find out where underground utilities were located in Kelowna’s

Rotary Marsh. For safety’s sake, they did this before planting trees and putting up fences.

Growing up in a low-income household in Surrey in the middle of four siblings, 11-year-old Britney wanted a Big Sister mentor so she’d have “someone to trust, someone who could pick me up and do fun things with me.

“And be my greatest friend,” Britney says

quietly, hugging Mandy Th oohan.

Britney and Man-dy found each other through Big Sisters, an organization that matches adult women with girls aged seven to 17.

Th oohan, 23, is cur-rently putting herself through university to become a teacher.

“I didn’t receive the kind of support I needed as a young girl,” she explains. “And after I heard about Big Sisters through a classmate, I wanted to prevent another girl from feeling that way too.”

When asked how she manages her job, a full course load, and weekly visits with Britney, she laughs and explains that she doesn’t think of it as “volunteering,” and that her time with Britney is exactly what she needs to “decompress and have fun.”

At the beginning of their match one year ago, the pair decided one of their goals would be to stay active. Th ey enjoy swimming, watching puppy training classes at the local pet store and trying diff erent kinds of sushi rolls together. Th oohan says Britney’s mom is always happy to hear that Britney has tried something new with Th oohan and that she is opening up to someone.

Th oohan says that although her main goal has been to help Britney gain confi dence, her little sister has actually inspired her to face some of her own fears, such as sliding down a waterslide for the fi rst time.

“I can’t swim!” she laughs. “It was extreme-ly scary, but I’m happy Britney pushed me to try it.”

When asked how Britney thinks her life might be diff erent with-out Th oohan, she looks down and shyly says “I’d probably be on the couch watching TV.”

Th e Big Sister pro-gram has had such a positive impact on Britney that she now wants to be a Big Sister as soon as she turns 19. She also wants to be a teacher when she grows up, just like Th oohan.

Big Sisters of B.C. Lower Mainland has an ongoing need for Big Sister volunteers in Sur-rey. Th ere are currently 29 girls waiting to be matched. As Big Sisters looks for volunteers who live nearby and have the same interests, some girls in Surrey are currently waiting up to a year to be matched.

To become a Big Sister, you must be at least 19 and be able to commit two hours each week to a girl ages sev-en to 17 for one year.

For information on how you can become a Big Sister, or volunteer in another program, visit: http://www.bigsisters.bc.ca or email [email protected]

A Surrey-based brewery is once again donating a portion of its beer sales to autism research.

In conjunction with Autism Awareness Month in April, Central City Brewers & Distillers has launched its annual IPA for Autism, sup-porting Simon Fraser University’s Hyperbar-ic Oxygen Th erapy (HBOT) and Magneto-encephalography (MEG) research for children with autism.

Central City will donate $2 from every six pack of 355 ml cans and 25 centres from every 473 ml can of specially marked Red Racer IPAs. In addition, 25 cents from every pint of IPA sold at participating B.C. restaurants and pubs will be donated.

Th e fundraising initia-tive hits home for Dar-ryll Frost, president and founder of Central City, as his fi ve-year-old son Callum was diagnosed with Pervasive Develop-ment Disorder, a type of autism, two years ago. Frost and his wife have seen great improvement in Callum’s development by combining a special diet with the hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

“Th e change in my son was night and day,” says Frost. “He was complete-ly non-verbal and low functioning, throwing tantrums, beating and hurting himself, display-ing aggressive behaviour

and non-commu-nicative. But with treatment, he is now a happy fi ve-year-old, who is able to commu-nicate, laugh, perform everyday things like dressing and feeding himself and is even going to kindergarten with the help of an aid.”

Convinced of HBOT’s positive eff ects, the Frosts teamed up with SFU to facilitate research on how the therapy works for chil-dren with autism.

Th e autism HBOT-MEG study at SFU is the fi rst in Canada that specifi cally studies the eff ectiveness of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy on children with autism. Included in the research is the use of MEG neuro-imaging to evaluate whether HBOT can positively impact brain activity underlying cog-nition and behaviour in children with autism.

Th e team of SFU researchers includes Dr.

Ryan D’Arcy, one of the world’s foremost neu-roscientists, and Sherri Ferguson, Director of SFU’s Environmental Medicine and Physiolo-gy Unit (EMPU), home to Canada’s only civilian

research hyper/hypo-baric chamber.

Th is year, SFU has recruited Dr. Sam Doesburg as the holder of the Callum Frost Professorship in Translational Research in Autism. Doesburg will implement a translational research program in autism that will leverage recent breakthroughs in network neuroimaging and computational neuroscience to make meaningful improve-ments in the lives of people with autism and other neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Autism now aff ects one in 68 children. Since 2012, Cen-tral City has raised $175,000 for autism research. Th e company

also plans to organize an autism fundraising auction later this year. For more information on the IPA for Autism fundraising initiative, visit www.centralcitybrewing.com

Two weeks after his Tri-City Americans were eliminated from the Western Hockey League playoff s, Parker Wotherspoon is in Switzerland skating for Canada at the International Ice Hockey Federation’s U18 World Champi-onships.

Th e 17-year-old, who played his minor hockey in Cloverdale, is among seven defencemen with Team Canada at the 10-team tournament which runs April 16-26 in Zug and Lu-cerne, Switzerland.

“Th is is awesome for Parker, he has earned this opportunity by having an exceptional season,” said Americans general manager Bob Tory. “Th is experience will benefi t him tremendously going forward in his pursuit of a professional career.”

Canada won the fi rst of four

preliminary round games 11-6 over Latvia on Th ursday. Wotherspoon contributed with a pair of assists.

He had another helper in Sat-urday’s 4-1 win over Switzerland, then netted his fi rst goal of the tournament in a 3-2 victory over the Czech Republic.

Wotherspoon is ranked 43rd among North American skaters for

the National Hockey League Entry Draft in June. He completed his second season with the Americans as their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points. He added an assist in four play-off games, after which the Americans were eliminated in straight

games by the Kelowna Rockets.He tallied twice and added 16

assists in his rookie season in 2013-14, and is projected to be a third-round selection in the Entry Draft.

Canada concluded the prelimi-nary round yesterday (Tuesday) with a game against undefeated Finland. Th e quarterfi nal round of the playoff s begin tomorrow (Th ursday).

Chiefs swept by Blue Jays at Mackie

RICK KUPCHUK

The North Delta Blue Jays are off to a perfect start to their B.C. Premier Baseball League season, sweep-ing a double header at the expense of their closest rivals.

Th e Jays defeated the Whalley Chiefs 2-0 and 11-7 Saturday at Mackie Park in North Delta, the fi rst two games of the season for the home side.

The Chiefs are struggling at the start of their schedule, with just one win in seven games.

Saturday’s double header began with pitching from both teams keeping offense to a minimum.

The Blue Jays re-ceived an outstanding effort from starting pitcher Daniel Goss-elin. The left-hander allowed one hit and a pair of walks in five innings, while strik-ing out eight Chiefs batters.

Reliever Clint Taylor was effective over the final two innings, al-lowing just a two-out single.

Thomas Espig of the Chiefs threw five and two-thirds innings, but allowing two runs on four hits and four walks. He had five strikeouts but took the loss.

William Quito of the Blue Jays singled and scored on a fielder’s

choice in the first in-ning. Noah Or added an insurance run in the sixth, drawing a walk, stealing second then scoring on Brae-don Miller’s single.

While the pitchers dominated the first game, batters on both teams improved their stats in game two.

The Chiefs had plenty of offense early in the game, building a 5-0 lead after they batted in the second inning. But in the bot-tom half of the frame, the Blue Jays crossed the plate seven times to take the lead.

The Chiefs tied the score 7-7 with two runs in the fourth inning, but North Delta responded with two in their half of the fourth, and three more over the next two innings.

Lichel Kirakawa-Kao was three-for-four at the plate for Whalley with three runs scored and two runs batted in (RBI). Espig had a single and a double in three at-bats, driving in two runs and scor-ing one.

For North Delta, eight batters managed at least a hit, paced by Trevor Gentles, Logan Newman and Dylan Dahl with two each. Gentles drove in three runs, with Dahl and Quito earning two RBIs each.

The Chiefs and Blue Jays will both be in the provincial capital next weekend, playing twice each against the Victoria Eagles and Victoria Mariners.

Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted.

People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working rela-tionships with bosses, clients, and colleagues.

An alarming new study by the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) reveals a direct correlation between unaddressed hearing loss and earnings.

hearing aids in achieving compensation equity in the workplace,” clearly demonstrates that

ability to earn a livelihood. The study under-scores how critically important it is for workers to treat hearing loss early in order to maximize their job performance and earning potential.

According to Sergei Kochkin, PhD, author of the study: “The real tragedy in delaying hearing loss treatment is that when left unaddressed, hearing loss negatively affects individuals and their families for the rest of their lives in the form of lost wages, lost promotions, lost oppor-tunities, lost retirement income, and unrealized dreams. But when people with even mild hear-ing loss use hearing aids, they improve their job performance, increase their earning potential, enhance their communication skills, improve their professional land interpersonal relation-ships, stave off depression, and improve their quality of life.”

Th e game, to be played May 9 at Percival Molson Stadium in Montreal, showcases (Canadian Inter-collegiate Sports) players eligible for next year’s Canadian Football League draft.

Sadowski, a six-foot-fi ve, 257-pound defensive lineman, completed his third season with the University of British Columbia Th underbirds last fall. In seven games played, he had 11 solo tack-les, 10 assisted tackles and two quarterback sacks.

Th e week-long East-West Bowl included daily practices, a coaches clinic featuring presentations by CFL and CIS representatives.

A half-dozen local bowlers will be competing at the Youth Bowling Council National Champion-ships May 2-4 in Oshawa, ON and Toronto.

Competing in the fi ve-pin singles tournament in Toronto are Brenden Bachmeier of Scottsdale Lanes in Bantam Boys and Simone Losier of Clo-ver Lanes in Senior Girls.

Scottsdale Lanes also has a Bantam Girls team in fi ve-pin competition in Oshawa, comprised of Bethany Grieve, Teya Levasseur, Carmen Bishop and Skye Bodi.

All B.C. bowlers qualifi ed for the national tourna-ment by winning their provincial championships.
