Growing support to renew R’view By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Metro Vancouver mayors seeking to revive Riverview Hospital for mental health purposes will have some support from Tri-City environmentalists and naturalists. O n Tu e s d a y, members of the Riverview Horticultural Society and the Burke Mountain Naturalists were expected to show up at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Vancouver with signs showing support for resurrecting the former mental health hospital. see GILLESPIE, page A4

He is flanked by (from left) MC and cancer survivor Bruce Moore, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore, Donna White, the Terry Fox Foundation’s B.C. director, and Hometown Run organizer Dave Teixeira. The local runs raised tens of thousands of dollars for cancer research. More photos: page A3; more information: page A17; video: www.tricitynews.com.
No shelter from cold
For first time in 5 years, no shelters in the Tri-Cities By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
S h e l t e r wo r k e r s , advocates and volunteers in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam are devastated at the news that a long-running winter shelter program in the Tri-Cities has been cancelled for this year. Rob Thiessen, manager of the Hope for Freedom Society, which has funding to operate a
DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
St. Andrew’s United Church in Port Moody was to be the first church to host a homeless shelter this fall but the program has been cancelled due to lack of support from cities. temporary shelter from October through March,
said workers and volunteers were given the bad
news last week. “I’ve money, willing volunteers, I’ve got staff… but for a small but minor detail — I’ve got no facility,”Thiessen said Tuesday after efforts to get a solution for the program failed at the 11th hour. The program was to have started Oct. 1 and run for one month at St. Andrew’s United Church in Port Moody before moving to another church in the Tri-Cities but no other city came forward with a proposal to house the program. In July, Port Coquitlam council refused a temporary use permit to house the shelter at Grace
Church on Kingsway Avenue in response to concerns from some neighbours even though police said homeless people using the shelter weren’t a problem (see story on age A9). Thiessen couldn’t convince Coquitlam council to accept the bridge shelter either, although a church had come forward to host the program. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the city is moving forward on plans for a permanent shelter at 3030 Gordon Ave.

Cops look into tips from video Suspect not yet ID’d in hit and run By Jason Roessle and Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Surveillance video footage showing a person of interest in a hit-and-run incident that killed a 15-year-old girl last week has generated a flood of tips, according to Coquitlam RCMP. Investigators have been following up on dozens of reports and are still looking for witnesses of the accident that took the life of Annie Leung, a Grade 10 student at nearby Riverside secondary school. “We are getting more tips at this point,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We follow up with every single one of them.” see POLICE, page A13

Meanwhile, the Gillespies have been taking matters into their own hands, providing metal pots for cigarette butts for patients living in newer Fraser Health facilities, and emptying them and cutting the grass in areas where Treefest programs were held. The province wanted $1,300 for cutting the grass before Saturday’s Treefest, money the group didn’t have. “So 80-year-old Don [Gillespie] went out and mowed it,” said Elaine Golds, a director with the Burke Mountain Naturalists. Golds wants people to write to Premier Christy Clark to preserve the site and re-open Riverview for mental health programs. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

“This is Crown land with buildings that could be reused,” said Norma Gillespie, a horticultural society member who, with her husband, Don Gillespie, has been helping to take care of the property since maintenance was scaled back following its 2012 closure. The idea of reopening some of the buildings to help people with severe mental illness is one whose time has come, Gillespie said, and one that is also being promoted by the city of Vancouver and the district of Maple Ridge as well as Coquitlam council. “Centre Lawn [building] could take people tomorrow and Valleyview 300, to have that building empty is scandalous,” Norma Gillespie said, adding that no one wants to see a return to overcrowding and institutionalization but space is available at Riverview to help vulnerable people who are in need of care and support. The march on the UBCM caps a successful Treefest on the weekend, when more than 100 people toured the property and learned about Riverview history. But visitors to the 101-year-old site had to trudge through tall grass to get to some of the buildings because the provincial caretakers have reduced cosmetic mowing and are restrict-

As well, Jason Macnaughton stated in an email that building maintenance is at a level to preserve the safety or structural integrity of the buildings but not for cosmetic upkeep. In response to criticism that the lawn is not being kept up, Macnaughton also stated that most areas were cut two or three times this summer, and fallen tree limbs and garbage are being picked up. At least one Coquitlam councillor disagrees. Craig Hodge said he has photographed downed tree limbs that were not cleaned up and small trees that are taking root on the property. Hodge is also upset that efforts to meet with Andrew Wilson, the minister responsible, at the

Recycling costs under fire Civic leaders spar with head of Multi-Material BC By Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press
B.C. civic leaders on Monday grilled the head of a new industry-led recycling agency over the costs and downsides of the new system set to replace municipally run blue box pick up next spring. Va n c o u v e r C o u n . Adriane Carr said she’s “ g rave l y c o n c e r n e d ” that Multi Material BC’s $110-million annual budget to recover packaging and printed paper province-wide is much lower than the $190 million already spent each year in Metro Vancouver alone on recycling services. “If there are significant cost reductions, you have to ask what are the service reductions,” said Carr, who warned it would be “backwards” if cities that have built strong recycling programs now see them shrivel under MMBC. She and other municipal delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention pressed MMBC managing director Allen Langdon to increase the prices offered to local cities to act as collectors under the new system. Langdon said he’s willing to talk to concerned cities but gave no sign of
sweetening the offers already made. Nor would he commit to specific targets for reducing the amount of packaging encasing goods sold in B.C. Langdon said producers will pay their share of the program based on how much packaging they generate, giving them a price signal to reduce their packaging or make it more recyclable. But Carr said that could still allow producers and retailers to simply pass the extra costs along to consumers through higher prices without actually reducing their environmen-
tal footprint. Many cities refused to sign on by a Monday deadline to act as collectors of recyclables under proposed contracts, either indicating they’ll keep running their own systems without MMBC financial aid or else they’ll leave the job entirely for MMBC to contract out to private collectors. But MMBC agreed to let cities take more time and join the program after the scheduled May 19 launch date, setting the stage for more negotiations. An emergency debate on the issue is slated for

a longer version of this story is at tricitynews.com Thursday at UBCM. Costs and concern about service levels have been key challenges, said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, adding his city would have to subsidize MMBC by $100,000 a year while Vancouver pegs its shortfall at more than $5 million. jnagel@blackpress.ca

PoMo station work underway Clarke access to WCE park and ride is closed By Gary McKenna ThE Tri-CiTy NEWs
Evergreen Line construction is ramping up in Port Moody, where the next phase of the West Coast Express station and park-and-ride facility got underway this week. Construction crews are close to completing the paving work for a section of the parking lot west of Hugh Street. When that section is open, the old parking area east of Hugh will be closed and turned into a permanent bus loop, which will take approximately one month to build. Meanwhile, changes that went into effect this week mean that Clarke Street access to the Port Moody transit exchange under the Moody Street overpass will be permanently closed to allow crews to begin work on the at-grade guideway. Traffic control personnel will be on hand to assist drivers during the changes and access to the West Coast Express Station will be maintained at all times. The property between Electronic Avenue and Buller Street will be used as a construction staging area and crews are expected to be working between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Changes on Clarke Drivers in Burquitlam will notice some changes on their main route for the next few weeks. Clarke Road northbound will be temporarily closed between Cottonwood and Smith avenues Monday through Saturday (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) as construction continues on the elevated guideway for the Evergreen Line. The closures will create the space workers need to build a pair of columns on the east side of the roadway. The work is anticipated to take three weeks. Drivers should also be aware that temporary construction fencing will be installed around the work area, there will be temporary changes to access and some temporary parking restrictions for businesses at 508 Clarke Rd. as part of the work.
lated to excavation and material hauling is expected as a part of this work. To mitigate some of the noise, crews will be using a technique known as soil mixing. With the use of a large drill, work-
ers will auger into soft soils and break up the ground before mixing in the concrete. Once this process is completed, crews will build retaining walls and the guideway platform for the future rapid tran-

Coquitlam mayor says city moving on shelter continued from front page
“I’m concerned that we approach this situation with care,” he said. “In Coquitlam, we’ve done more — we stepped up in a significant way in providing land for a shelter that will be open in under two years.” Meanwhile, PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said he had hoped a solution could be found, adding that he supports a homeless shelter, especially if community concerns could be addressed. But Thiessen said he couldn’t set up a series of temporary shelters without any assurances they would be approved by Coquitlam and PoCo councils because people were quitting jobs to be shelter workers, and food and supplies were already being purchased by volunteers With the shelter program that previously took hundreds of people off the street since starting in 2007/’08 now in mothballs, advocates are
IN QUOTES
“To say that we are disappointed and disheartened is an understatement. We have worked very hard to pull together our volunteers and supplies for the bridge shelter — as we have worked tirelessly to prepare for our homeless guests for the month of October.” Julie Chuter worried about what will happen to homeless people and the community. “They’re managed, right, when they go to the shelter,” explained Bart Phillips, a former shelter resident. It’s estimated homeless people cost $40,000 annually in emergency, police and related costs, and it can cost cities up to $70,000 to dismantle homeless camps. Julie Chuter, who was to co-ordinate the bridge shelter at St. Andrew’s United, said the loss of the shelter is also a blow to volunteers, including Dr. Charles Best second-
ary school students, who were looking forward to helping the neediest and most vulnerable people in the community. “To say that we are disappointed and disheartened is an understatement,” Chuter said. “We have worked very hard to pull together our volunteers and supplies for the bridge shelter — as we have worked tirelessly to prepare for our homeless guests for the month of October. “While the plan has been a bit of a moving target, I did not expect this news,”she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘All I saw was people cared’ Former homeless man now helps By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News
Bart Phillips is a solidlooking guy who doesn’t have the thin, haggard look of a heroin addict. But that was what he was before he walked into the welcoming arms of volunteers and homeless advocates at a TriCity shelter four years ago. And thanks to that meeting, Phillips is now a Vancouver Career College graduate employed as a Hope for Freedom Society (HFFS) recovery worker. He has a home and has been reunited with his two teenage daughters. Life is good, Phillips says.
DIANE STRANDBERG/ThE TRI-cITy NEwS
Bart Phillips, a former heroin addict, went into recovery with the help of volunteers at a Tri-City homeless shelter. Four years ago, when he walked into one of the temporary shelters, things weren’t looking as rosy. The police had impounded the uninsured truck he and his wife were using to collect scrap metal and he was due for a stint in jail for
impaired driving charges. When he walked into the church shelter, the Surrey resident was literally stranded in PoCo and he never left. “All I saw was people cared and were willing to help us.” (His wife died of

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from smoking heroin, however, before she could be convinced to join him in recovery.) He thanks the shelter and HFFS workers for helping him turn his life around, and is devastated to learn the shelter has been cancelled for this year. “There is so many successes from the shelter… if the community can get together and understand that people are being managed at shelter and if I can help personally,” he says. Otherwise, there will be more people like him wandering the streets with no help and no way out of their situations. • Read the full interview with Bart Phillips online at tricitynews.com.

Mounties say crime not an issue around shelters Concerns about crime in downtown Port Coquitlam resulting from the presence of a nightly homeless shelter last fall and winter were overrated and a little more understanding and compassion might have eased fears, says the Coquitlam RCMP. Cpl. Jamie Chung said there was no increase in crime because
of the shelter that operated out of the Northside Foursquare Church on Kingsway Avenue from October to March but residents living nearby may have been worried about homeless people in their neighbourhood. Neither break-andenters nor drug dealing escalated during those months in the neighbourhood, although concerns
about drug dealing were raised at a PoCo council meeting during which a temporary use permit for this year’s shelter was denied. Both the operator of the shelter, Hope for Freedom Society’s Rob Thiessen, and a neighbour reported what they believed to be drug dealing but no shelter users were involved, Chung said.
He said people sometimes fear for their safety when a shelter is in operation near them. “I can understand people’s perceptions,” Cpl. Chung said. “If there was a homeless shelter next to me, I would think the same. But I would have to think deeper… We should be really a bit more compassionate.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Recycle plan
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
H
ow kind that the industry group Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) is willing to give municipalities a few extra days to consider its proposal for picking up our cans, bottles and papers on their behalf. While the idea of the producers paying for recycling packaging and printed paper makes sense, the way this program appears to have been handled is shocking, to say the least. Among the many problems that Tri-City mayors have identified are a take-it-or-leave it policy on accepting the terms; lower than practical contamination rates that could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars; and low-balled fees for collecting the stuff via existing blue boxes and cart pick-up programs. Many cities were left scratching their heads when the producers group set a Sept. 16 deadline for accepting its terms (that date is now open ended for those needing time to consider), and offering a program that was less flexible than the existing, more or less successful, system. Here’s how it was supposed to work: MMBC would pay cities to collect the recyclables instead of replacing the existing system. Cities would be reasonably compensated and the program could go ahead without taxpayers subsidizing the program. At the same time, producers would add the cost of recycling to the goods paid for at the till. Now, with the program in jeopardy, some cities may be opting out, which means consumers could pay twice: at the till and through their property taxes. More negotiation is clearly needed to sort this out and the province may have to step in to make sure any new producers-pay model is fair to all. In the meantime, cities need to do a better job explaining how to keep contaminants out of the recycling system and to show how taxpayers end up paying extra for putting non-recyclable stuff in their blue boxes and carts. Many people are still not on board with recycling, resent the imposition on their daily lives and do the job halfheartedly while others fill up their blue boxes properly and have leftovers with no place to store them. If people understood the value of recycling, they may be more inclined to participate properly. But if the producers do their job grudgingly, then how can we expect consumers to do theirs with care?
BC Liberals’ political bills come due at BC Hydro BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA hen Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates. Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32% over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years. The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a earthquake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream.
W
Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below 4% in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said. Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totalling 26% over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the BC Liberal government. Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected and that work was well underway to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011. COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising

TRI-CITY LETTERS
Safety improvements needed at intersection
It’s mayor who should apologize The Editor, Re. “Coun. owes apology” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 13). Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac hit the nail on the head when he called the motion by Mayor Mike Clay to remove building heights from the proposed official community plan a “cowardly approach.” “Cowardly” relates to the approach taken by the mayor and not the person. More importantly, I noted with interest that the letter writer is the executive vice-president of Flavelle Cedar Co., a prospective major developer on Port Moody’s pristine waterfront, which has a vested interest in a developer-friendly OCP. It is the mayor who should be apologizing to the residents for having made such an ill-advised motion in the first place and not Coun. Glumac. People, wake up, show up and speak up. It is our official community plan. Reiner Specht,

A memorial at the site of an accident last week that killed Annie Leung, 15, a Riverside secondary school student. in some crosswalks, especially at night and in the rain. At this intersection, the lighting is inadequate and the angles at which the roads intersect along with differing inclines and road widths make the situation worse. Drivers form illegal curb lanes if they are not turning left, another difficulty for pedestrians. We can’t make drivers obey the rules or even look where they are going, so we have to make intersections as safe as they can be.
Perhaps, with two schools nearby and narrow road widths, traffic engineers might consider safety improvements such as banning right turns on red lights. After the sewer work on this section of Pitt River Road is complete, I hope to see others such as a resurfaced road, new sidewalks wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and maybe even better street lighting, which may include this intersection. What a contrast with the new street lights around Pitt River middle school. There are two large schools nearby and my kids attended both. They always walked, but there is so much traffic on Pitt River Road now, I would be worried. I hope some good comes out of this tragic event. The dark and rain are coming, along with black clothing and black umbrellas. Here’s hoping. Brian Hubbard, Port Coquitlam

The Editor, I wo u ld like to thank the two Good Samaritans who stopped to help me after I fell on Dewdney Trunk Road in Port Moody on Sept. 11. I wa s r e a l l y shook up and when I looked up, there were two people there to assist me in any way they could. You both restored my faith in humanity. It is wonderful to know that there are people out there that still really care about others. Janice Chapman, Coquitlam

The Editor, Re. “Girl, 15, struck and killed” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 13). My heart goes out to her family and friends of the girl who was killed so tragically and unnecessarily just down my road. This intersection is on my walking and driving routes to downtown Port Coquitlam and the morning after the accident I was walking. Two camera crews were there and one was still there later, ready to film the afternoon mayhem. As I crossed with the walk signal, a woman turning left might have got me because she simply was not looking; I don’t think she saw me at all. I was looking and stopped. The Global TV camera operator saw this and commented on it to me. I’ve nearly been hit three times crossing at that intersection and I know others who have experienced the same thing. Now this, on a sunny afternoon. As a driver, I know it’s hard to see pedestrians
Thanks for help

Police search for more info continued from front
The video shows a black truck pulling over to the side of the road, across from the parked vehicle. A few seconds later, the vehicle pulls ahead slightly and a Caucasian male, wearing a white T-shirt, exits the vehicle. He is seen walking to the front of his vehicle and then walks around and continues toward the intersection where the collision occurred. Approximately 30 seconds later, he is seen returning to his vehicle and driving away. Investigators have
not identified or spoken to the man seen in the video but believe he could have information about the moments immediately before and after the collision at Pitt River Road and Mary Hill Road. “Today we are asking for the public’s help identifying the man in this video and two other people who were at the scene so our team can speak to them about what they saw,” Insp. Paulette Freill said last Friday. In addition to the man pictured in the video, investigators are hoping to identify and speak to the following
people: • the driver of a silver truck that witnesses report was in the immediate vicinity of the collision (the truck is not a suspect vehicle and police do not have a physical description of the driver); • and the man who administered first aid to the victim immediately after the collision. “On behalf of the victim, her family and friends and everyone who has been touched by this tragedy, I am asking these three individuals, as well as anyone else with information about the collision, to contact us im-
mediately,” said Freill. “And I have a message for the driver who left the scene: We need to speak to you and it is not too late to do the right thing.” If you have information, call 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2013-27102. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS), go to s o l ve c r i m e . c a , t e x t BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637) or via the Facebook page, Metro Va n c o u v e r C r i m e Stoppers. jroessle@tricitynews.com gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Port Moody Council is holding a Public Hearing to consider the following proposed bylaw: Proposed Bylaw: Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw No. 217, 2013, No. 2964 Location: All One-Family Residential (RS3) zoned lots city-wide which are located: on Alderside Road; in several small subdivisions in the Heritage Mountain area; and on three lots on Union Street (see maps above and to right). Purpose: To clarify that in the RS3 zone the overall maximum building height is 8.0m (26ft) and a house may be three storeys. The clarification is needed because of a previous Zoning Bylaw amendment (No. 2919) that changed the definition of “storey” so that it was no longer clear that a house in the RS3 zone could have two floor levels over a basement. The subject bylaw would uphold the existing overall maximum building height of 8.0m (26ft) while ensuring the wording is consistent with the intended interpretation and the existing built form. If you believe your property is affected by this proposed bylaw, you can attend this meeting in person, or send a submission in writing. The City accepts written submissions up to the end of the Public Hearing. If you plan on sending your feedback ahead of time, email it to clerks@portmoody.ca or fax it to 604.469.4550 by 12 noon on Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Council will not receive any representations after the close of the Public Hearing. Review the proposed bylaw at the Development Services Department, City Hall, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody, BC anytime between 8:30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays.

Pacific Coast Terminal’s expansion plans on display Open house presentation will start at 7 p.m. By Jason Roessle THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Pacific Coast Terminals (PCT) is hosting a public open house Thursday about its upcoming expansion plans. Expansion is being conducted at the Port Moody site to allow the local business to handle food-grade canola oil and potash, according to Diana Dilworth, PCT’s community relations coordinator. The company has made application to Port Metro Vancouver for the $150-million expansion, which would include addition of tanks to hold the canola oil; upgrading of the existing watertreatment facility; and deepening of the navigation channel in the inlet from 10 m to 13.5 m. According to Kent
Smith, PCT’s manager of maintenance and engineering, the dredging work will involve a barge parked in the water for about a month, and the material removed will be relocated to a site that was over-dredged in the 1960s. “[This work] won’t affect the mudflats... and it’s going to be nowhere near the shoreline,” he said. The last time dredging was done was in 1995. The Sept. 19 open house runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Old Mill Boathouse, 2715 Esplanade Ave. in Rocky Point Park. There will be a presentation at 7 p.m. jroessle@tricitynews.com

BC NDP leader Adrian Dix is facing a challenge from party members belonging to the CoquitlamMaillardville riding association. The embattled leader is expected to make an announcement this week about his future, possibly as soon as Thursday during his speech at the Union of BC Municipalities Convention. Some blame Dix and his election team for the electoral defeat in May that many predicted they would win. C o q u i t l a m M a i l l a rdv i l l e M L A Selina Robinson is staying mum on her riding association’s call for Dix to “voluntarily step down” and didn’t return calls
from The Tri-City News. Riding Association president Ann Dubois, who apparently penned the letter, also didn’t return calls to The News before the print deadline. In May’s election,
Robinson narrowly hung on to the seat that had previously been held by NDP stalwart Diane Thorne, defeating BC Liberal candidate Steve Kim following a recount. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Fox Runs well attended By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News
Organizers of the 33rd annual Terry Fox Runs in the Tri-Cities — and across the country — are hailing Sunday’s events as a success. Participation and fundraising for cancer research in the name of the late Port Coquitlam hero were up overall, said BC/ Yukon director Donna White. The increase was mostly due to the
Wilson Centre Dental Clinic
If approved, the application would facilitate the development of a three-storey office building with approximately six (6) commercial tenant spaces.
item 4
Development Permit construction Value exemption limit
The intent of bylaw 4435, 2013 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to increase the minimum construction value for the exemption of Development Permits from $50,000 to $150,000.
weather, she said. “There was no rain and that plays a big part,” she said. “We also had great promotion and organization.” At the Hometown Run in PoCo, some 3,000 people came out walk, run and cycle, and to hear words of encouragement from Fox’s father, Rolly. Run co-ordinator Dave Teixeira said about $50,000 was collected on the day, on par with the 2012 event.

Specifically, the proposed Zoning Bylaw text amendment would increase the minimum construction value exemption for development permits for additions or alterations to existing buildings or structures.
Coquitlam co-chair Mark Pettie told The TriCity News some 600 participants joined in and listened to Fox’s sister, Judi Fox-Alder, who is international director for the Terry Fox Foundation, and to cancer survivor Selina Robinson, the MLA for CoquitlamMaillardville. The event took in at least $14,000. “We did very, very well,” said Pettie, who arranged the Fox Run for the first time with Richard Rainey. In Port Moody, where the 300 participants enjoyed the scenic route around Rocky Point Park, Mayor Mike Clay and Terri Towner said $9,300 in donations came in, also up from last year. And in the village of Anmore, 60 attendees made the trek from Spirit Park — again, a rise from previous years, said organizer Gord Bytelaar, who got the run off the ground in under three weeks; it raised $1,225 for the foundation. Meanwhile, the charity is gearing up for two more national fundraisers this month: Terry’s Cause on Campus (happening at Fox’s alma mater of SFU) on Sept. 24 and the school runs two days later. The school runs collect 60% of the foundation’s annual revenues, White said. jwarren@tricitynews.com

A driving force for seniors Local arm of prov. program aims to help older people remain at home
what you need to drive...

The Tri-CiTy NewS
f the elderly are to stay at home and independent, they often need a helping hand. There are friends, family and neighbours. And, now, there is a provincial program with a local arm. The aim of Better at Home, being run in the Tri-Cities by Share Family and Community Services, is to keep the frail elderly independent and in their homes longer. To that end, volunteer drivers are being sought to help seniors get to doctor appointments. “Share has always been providing services to seniors but this is the first program of this size that specifically focuses on seniors,” said Tom Hetherington, director of programs and services with Share. Last spring, the society was chosen as the service provider for Better at Home, a $15-million provincial program that was rolled out last spring in 60 cities through the United Way. Hetherington said Better at Home will offer Tri-City seniors grocery shopping support through Community Volunteer Service for Seniors and is in the early stages of starting a program to offer light housekeeping (non-medical) services with fees based on a sliding scale. But for now, Share is trying to get its new

Paola Wakeford-Mejia and her dad, Leonides Mejia, are inviting people to sign up to be volunteer drivers for seniors with Share Family and Community Services and the Better at Home program, a provincial initiative available in 60 communities around British Columbia. transportation program running and will need a group of volunteer drivers before it can offer any services. “We kind of need the community to step up,” said program co-ordinator Paola WakefordMejia, who said the goal of the program is to get seniors to their medical appointments during the day. She said she would be particularly pleased if
seniors who have valid drivers’ licences would volunteer. “They are available during the day and I like the idea of seniors helping seniors,” WakefordMejia said, noting that volunteers will be reimbursed for transportation costs. Ideally, she would like to be able to match drivers with seniors so there can be some consistency but it’s not a require-
ment. It’s also important to note that volunteer drivers aren’t expected to deal with heavy and complicated equipment, such as oxygen tanks, but should be able to help get a wheelchair or another mobility aid in and out of their vehicle. Hetherington said Share is pleased to be able to offer Better at Home as part of its basket of services and has already fielded inquiries
from interested seniors. In addition to the wheelchair program, Share is offering light housekeeping services, such as bathroom cleaning, dishwashing and cleaning and sorting the freezer through two local housecleaning businesses. But the program does not provide personal hygiene assistance, help with medical needs, meal preparation or
yard work, and seniors pay fees for the housekeeping service based on their income, which will be means tested.
MORE INFO
To find out more about the programs, volunteer or book a service, call Paola Wakeford-Mejia at 604-937-6991 or 604936-3900, or email paola. wakeford-mejia@sharesociety.ca. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com
There are requirements for being a volunteer driver with Share Family and Community Services’ Better at Home program for the frail elderly. Participants must: • be 21 years or older; • have a valid driver’s licence; • have proof of ICBC insurance; • provide a driver’s abstract; • undergo a criminal record check; • have a reliable vehicle; • commit for a minimum of three months; • be able to drive (and stay for the duration of the appointment) for up to six trips per month (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Alien invasions: Preparing Life as a Journey for Ender’s Game with sci-fi A FREE EDUCATION SERIES A GOOD READ Afton Schindel
I
’ve always been a fan of science fiction, particularly those stories featuring distant planets and alien races.There’s nothing I find more exciting than sitting down with a good book featuring the mysteries of outer space and possibilities of life beyond our solar system. As I write this, there are only two months left before the release of the Ender’s Game movie. A popular sci-fi novel and award-winning book by Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game is one of my favourites. Listed below are a few teen alien invasion novels that may whet your appetite for good science fiction before the movie comes to theatres. If you read science fiction for teens, I’m going to assume you’ve heard of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, Daniel X by James Patterson and the Doctor Who book series. Here are a few other titles I would recommend: The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey and In the After
by Demetria Lunetta are two novels in which the human race faces annihilation by an alien enemy. Both are heavily actionpacked and suspenseful thrillers that follow characters who struggle to survive in post-apocalyptic worlds. In The Fifth Wave, 16-year-old Cassie Sullivan must rescue her brother from the enemy’s camp with the help of a boy who may not be human.The interwoven love story provides a perfect breather from the intense and fast-paced battles. In the After is a dark and unpredictable page turner — a pure survival tale at the beginning, it follows a young girl named Amy as she finds
her way into a dystopian society run by scientists. Also set in a postapocalyptic world, Alien Invasion and Other Inconveniences by Brian Yansky is about a boy named Jesse who finds himself among Earth’s only survivors.Yansky gives us classic aliens: little green men with superhuman, telepathic abilities. Soon, Jesse and the other survivors begin to develop similar abilities and devise a plan to fight back.This is a fastpaced book with strong, entertaining characters and engaging narration. The sequel, Homicidal Aliens and Other Disappointments, is to be published this month. In the tradition of military science fiction, Black Hole Sun by David Gill is one of my favourites. Okay, so Earth no longer exists and there aren’t really any aliens but the man-eating, mutant Mars colonists come close. Set on Mars, Black Hole Sun features Durango and his crew, who are hired to steal a valuable resource and protect the miners from the deranged monsters that have invaded the planet. For older readers,
the Western-style themes combined with advanced technology and space travel may remind you of Joss Whedon’s Firefly. Humorous dialogue and fast-paced scenes make this a compelling read. This is the first of a series, so readers who enjoyed this book can expect even more action and peril from the sequels. For something humourous and light-hearted, I suggest The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. With quirky characters and bizarre turn of events, this book is amusing the whole way through. When two alien races fight to take over planet Earth, it’s up to Gratuity and a rogue alien named J.Lo to save the day. If you like this book, you may also enjoy Terry Pratchett’s humourridden Johnny Maxwell series. There are many new science fiction authors writing exciting stories for teens.To find a story that’s right for you, visit your local library.

Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones. Collagen is the key. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen which prevents wrinkles from Clinically forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful Proven! hair, strong nails and denser, more flexible bones. But over the years, collagen diminishes.
I have discovered recently and fell in love with is Biosil. I can safely say that this stuff made a huge difference in my hair…Whatever grew was fuller, thicker…I noticed a dramatic improvement in not only the quality of the new hair growth but the rate at which it was growing… Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

Art on show in PoCo Painter will demonstrate how to use cold wax in art An abstract artist who uses a wide range of media for her work — including cold wax — will show her technique in Port Coquitlam next week. Kathleen Menges will be the feature artist at a public demonstration on Wednesday, Sept. 25 hosted by the Art Focus Artists’ Association. The event will take place at 7 p.m. in The Outlet in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (2253 Leigh Sq., behind PoCo city hall). A member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Menges has been the artist-in-residence for the Langley Arts Council and has exhibited throughout the Lower Mainland including, most recently, at the Kariton Gallery in Abbotsford. Currently, Menges has a solo display sponsored by the University Women’s
Club of Vancouver at Hycroft (1489 McRae Ave.); last month, she was part of an annual show and sale at the Mission Art Centre. Besides cold wax, the Abbotsford resident has studied Menges sculpture, trompe l’oeil, encaustics, painting and Ikebana, Japanese floral arranging. Meanwhile, the paintings of TriCity artist Tammy Pilon are on display this month at the Port Moody Public Library (100 Newport Dr.). Pilon has studied all media but concentrates on watercolours layered with acrylics for her landscapes. A teacher at the Port Moody Arts Centre, Pilon is best known for her community murals — the most recent being on the side of the Crossroads Hospice thrift store. jwarren@tricitynews.com

They have added a new a la carte menu as well and also new is a special Combo menu that starts at $6.50.

Sixth novel for 81-year-old A Port Coquitlam senior is making the most of her golden years by writing novels. Next week, 81-year-old Florida Ann Town will come out with her sixth book and her first novel for adults, titled On the Rim. It will be printed by Dundurn Press on Sept. 28. Town’s mantra of keeping busy — in mind, body and spirit — has Town paid off for her over the years. At a 2008 competition in Sacramento, Cali., she picked up several medals as a member of Canada’s Golden Master outrigger canoe team. As well, she has also received numerous medals in seniors’ categories in British Columbia master swimming competitions. Her evolution as a published author was a natural one for Town, who has worked for multiple B.C.based newspapers before landing a career in public relations at Simon Fraser University. Her prior writing credentials include a memoir and the historical novel for young adults With a Silent Companion, the story of pioneering female surgeon Margaret Ann Bulkley, who lived the majority of her life as a man. On the Rim is the story of Helen who, after the collapse of her 30-year marriage, attempts to regain her balance in life through cycling. Although Town insists that her upcoming novel isn’t at all based on her own life, she said living in Port Coquitlam helped inspire the book’s theme of cycling.

Centaurs, ravens struggle in exhibition matches By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News
taken him across the country and around the world. He lists the 1994 Stanley Cup finals between the Canucks and New York Rangers as one of the highlights of his career.“That was just a great two-month run by the Canucks,”he said. The PGA and LPGA Canadian Opens are other events that stand out in his career because of the extensive coverage required to bring the action to the viewer.
It may have only been an exhibition game but the high school football matchup last Friday night between Centennial Centaurs and New Westminster Hyacks had the feel of a championship final. More than 2,500 people filled the stands at Mercer Stadium and even the Coquitlam and Royal City mayors got in on the action with a bet that would see one of them wearing the winning team’s jersey at an upcoming council meeting. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart was on the losing end of that wager after the clock ran out in the fourth quarter with Coquitlam’s Centennial downed 4422. But it was the Centaurs’ offensive co-ordinator, Jason Parachnowitsch, and h e a d c oa c h S i m on Quinto who were the most concerned with Friday’s outcome, where their team took close to 200 yards in penalties. “We really shot ourselves in the foot,” Parachnowitsch told The Tri-City News. The coaches will also have to figure out how to replace J.P. Bridges, the Centaurs running back who went down with a broken ankle midway through the game. Bridges is not expected to be back this season. “He is a great kid with a great attitude,” said Parachnowitsch. “Even when the injury happened, he had a big smile on his face. He was trying to encourage his teammates.”

Stepping out from behind the mic Broadcaster inducted into B.C. hall of fame By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News
Larry Isaac knows all about the media spotlight. But the soft-spoken Coquitlam resident usually finds himself on the other end of the glare. This week Isaac will be among those inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. “It was a combination
IN QUOTES
“It was a combination of excitement and also being humbled.” Larry Isaac of excitement and also being humbled,” said the longtime TV sports producer. “Many times when there is a media or builder category, you will see announcers or writers so it was quite the honour when I was
nominated just to think that they would be looking at a producer of live TV.” Isaac views his induction as more than just a personal accomplishment, but as a recognition of the dozens of people who work on the technical and production crews behind the camera. “There’s many times you’re only as good as the entire team. When you have a strong director and then all the technical crew who deliver the show… it’s like a
quarterback in football, he can be great but if he doesn’t have the surrounding team around him maybe he can’t go as far as he’d like to.” The producer is responsible for putting together the entire telecast, from the music played during the opening introduction to the highlights and graphics that will be shown during breaks in the play. “Many times a great hockey game will give you two or three great replays at every stoppage,” said Isaac. “But
then there’s many games and many sporting events that sort of plod along and you have to have other things ready to maintain viewer interest if you’re having your third offside in the last 60 seconds.” Over a career that spans four decades, Isaac has worked on countless hockey telecasts, including 15 years with the iconic Hockey Night in Canada. He has worked Olympics from Athens to Beijing, as well as countless sporting events that have

‘I had been a sports nut all my life,’ says broadcaster continued from page 30
“There’s so much going on in golf compared to most sports where there’s only one field of play. That’s the most challenging sport for a producer.” Isaac’s career began in 1976 when one of the 19-year-old’s co-workers at the Safeway grocery store in Vancouver told him about a new TV station called CKVU that was about to go on the air. “I had been a sports nut all my life as a kid, so I took down all my scrapbooks and statistical files I had done and they hired me instantly to be a researcher and statistician,” said Isaac, who moved to Coquitlam in 1989. Not long after joining CKVU Isaac was given the opportunity to produce when a nightly show called Sports Page

In 1980, Isaac moved over to BCTV where he was able to work on weekly Canucks and Whitecaps broadcasts. He started his own production company in 1984, allowing him to work with all of the networks. “There’s a few of us freelance producers in the country, so that allows me to pick and choose the events
I want to work on,” said Isaac, adding he does a lot of work with Sportsnet because of their coverage of the three NHL teams in Western Canada. And now that he’s reached the pinnacle of his career, Isaac is showing no signs of slowing down. He just returned from covering the Tour de Alberta cycling race that traversed the roads
between Edmonton and Calgary. “I had gone there four months prior and did the whole 900 kilometers just to plot cameras and exactly how are coverage plan would be,” he said. Isaac will be inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame Sept. 19 at the Banquet of Champions a t t h e Va n c o u v e r Convention Centre. He will be joined by fellow inductees Kevin Alexander (lacrosse), Dawn Coe-Jones (golf), Brent Hayen (swimming), Robert Hindson (rugby), Peter Reid (triathlon), Larry Kwong (hockey), the 1965 Ocean Falls Amateur Swimming Club, coaches Kathy Shields and Ken Shields (basketball) and former Vancouver Canucks coach and GM Pat Quinn.
Rams drop Ravens on the road continued from page 30
The Centaurs were never able to get their momentum back after a 45-minute delay while officials waited for an ambulance to arrive to take Bridges to hospital.

In the fourth, the Rams blew the game open with a nine-play drive to extend their lead to 28-14. Another touchdown brought the Ravens to within one score but another interception slowed down the visitors’ momentum and built an insurmountable lead for the home team. Fox will play its regular-season opener at Town Centre Stadium on Friday at 5 p.m. against the Rutland Voodoo.

Kicking back in your cave When it comes to having a place to relax, a man cave might be the perfect option.
By Kerry Vital Everyone needs a place to escape from the vagaries of everyday life. For some it’s a garden or a soothing hot bath. For others, it’s the “no girls allowed� space called the man cave. “A man cave is mainly for sitting, watching and eating,� says James Angus, Lower Mainland director of stores for The Brick Group. “The more seats, the better.� Thus, perhaps it’s best to start

Falling into Thanksgiving decor ideas By Kerry Vital
The new home now includes a garage built like a carriage house, a third storey with dormers and a new balcony and other heritage-style touches. It now perfectly fits in with the beauty of the stream-side location in North Vancouver. Shakespeare Homes photos
North Van home goes from rags to riches Shakespeare Homes took the house down to its broken foundation and rebuilt it into something spectacular. By Kerry Vital William Shakespeare was known for his literary masterpieces. Now a North Vancouver building company that bears his name brings that same attention to detail and zeal for perfection to every project. Mark Cooper, president of Shakespeare
Homes, cites a recent full-house renovation as the perfect example of the work the company does. As a North Vancouver resident himself, Cooper says he and his team love working in the community in which they live and are very familiar with the building restrictions that make North Vancouver and West Vancouver different. The original home was built in the early 1960s, and it looked it. It had two storeys, no space for a garage and just didn’t work for the family. However, it was located on a seriously beautiful piece of property, backing onto a creek and with tons of natural greenery surrounding it. It was time to make the house match its surroundings. One of the homeowners had grown up in a heritage
home and had dreamed of living in a similar place as an adult. So, he brought in Cooper and his team to make his dream a reality. “This was a great opportunity for the homeowners and my people to express themselves,� Cooper says. “We didn’t just construct something that looks like it’s from the 1800s, we actually built the home like it would have been then, while meeting today’s building codes and ensuring energy efficiency.� Working with Cooper’s team of professionals, including Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design,
Summer has ended and fall will soon be well-entrenched. With the change of season comes the holidays, new colours and new decor ideas that suit any budget or taste. “The biggest trends for home decor in the fall are the colours and shades,� says Ikea Canada’s Alicia Zoffranieri. “The most popular shades during the fall season and around Thanksgiving are earth tones, such as chocolate brown, grey, black or cream.� Pier 1 Imports in-house stylist Aimee Beatty agrees, noting, “It’s all about colour, specifically jewel tones in rich textures and distinctive silhouettes.� Among the luxurious colours will be deep purples, red and blues, along with nature themes. “We’ve brought the outdoors in with decor and accessories inspired by nature’s beauty and woodland creatures,� Beatty says. “You’ll see a lot of vibrant orange or green, and dark lilac or dark blue at Ikea,� Zoffranieri says. “Also trendy this year are patterns with elements of nature, such as trees or leaves.� Bouclair Home is also focusing on earth tones for Thanksgiving, including beige and orange. They’re also seeing gold,

Renovation from top to bottom by the Bard “ from page.1 Shakespeare Homes tore the original house down to the broken foundation and began the process of rebuilding it. Among the changes are a third storey and a detached garage for the “man toys” of the homeowner. The garage is built to look like a carriage house, and has its own heat, power and bathroom, making it a true man cave. It’s built with a vaulted cathedral-framed ceiling, making it an architectural masterpiece in itself. The homeowner is planning to install car and motorcycle lifts inside. The biggest challenge that Cooper found while planning and building the home were the strict rules governing the location and the height of the finished product, as well as the regulations around its streamside location. “We weren’t able to move the house within the lot because of the setback restrictions,” Cooper says. “So, we had to renovate and add within the existing perimeter.” When you walk onto the property, the first thing you’ll probably notice is the dormers on the third storey. The heritage influence is readily apparent, and continues with the double-exposure cedar shingles that cover much of the house, the wood double-hung windows and the exposed rafters and soffits. The outdoor space will soon include an outdoor fireplace and seating area, complementing the stone retaining walls that have been constructed to allow greenery to return to the property. Brand-new decks and patios afford the homeowners gorgeous views of the city, something that they didn’t have in the original house. Hand-cut granite is featured throughout the exterior, including a double-wide chimney and front entrance. Inside the house itself, the vaulted ceilings include hand-cut rafters to showcase that heritage charm. “There was a lot of architectural and homeowner design involved,” Cooper says. “There’s real craftsmanship here. Nobody frames like this anymore. It’s very rare.” Even the accessories inside the house are heritagestyle, including an authentic cast-iron claw-foot tub. The character kitchen is built in an open-plan layout with custom millwork and plenty of space to entertain. There is also a suite on the ground level that has its own private entrance. “All of the features and fixtures of the home have been selected to fit that period of time,” Cooper says. The entire renovation took about 14 months, including three months dealing with the variance process. “The house has been appraised well beyond normal market value,” Cooper says. Because Vancouver can be a generally rainy city, what to do with water runoff was an important part of the building process. The city had originally asked Shakespeare to pump the storm water up to the district system on the street. However, that wasn’t an easy thing to accomplish due to the slope of the property. Instead, Cooper designed a water treatment system for the home that collects, stores, filters and then releases the water back into the natural environment surrounding the house. In fact, the district of North Vancouver called the new house a “masterful example of stream-side protection.” Shakespeare prides itself on being a high-quality build-green company, and this is evident in the home. All of the shingles are made from B.C. wood, and much of the other building materials have been sourced locally as well. “It was built with environmental stewardship in mind,” Cooper says. In fact, the old cedar roof system was recycled into several structures, including the table in the meeting room at Shakespeare Homes’ office. The house is unrecognizable from what it started out as. Where it once was in danger of sliding down the steep slope into the stream, the house is now a masterpiece and perfect for the family who lives in it.

Long gone are the days of one-sizefits-all kitchen countertops, with your only choice being the colour. Now you can find a wide range of countertop materials and colours to suit your style and budget. Perhaps the most well-known countertop product is laminate. It comes in a huge variety of colours and finishes, and it can be one of the more inexpensive materials, making it a great choice for those on a tighter budget. Another popular countertop right now is quartz, which is one of the hardest minerals in the world. “Because of its durability, consistency and beauty, quartz has really become a popular choice for renovators,” says Shaun Krahn, general manager for Kitchen Craft Cabinetry. Granite is one of the most popular choices right now, as it can withstand heat and other abuse well. No piece is identical to another, which lends texture and interest to your space. Marble, limestone and soapstone are other natural products. All three require a bit more care than granite as they are softer. Because of this, any stone countertop must be sealed. You don’t want to stain your countertop before you’ve really had the chance to enjoy it. A kitchen professional will easily be able to give you advice on sealing your countertops. An engineered stone countertop come in a larger variety of colours than a natural stone material, and is also a bit more hardy. If your countertops might need to take some abuse, an engineered stone will stand up better
than the natural options. If stone isn’t your style, a solid wood butcher block countertop is both practical and lends a heritage style to your home. It must be oiled frequently to seal the surface and prevent staining, but any scratches can be sanded out and wood is very easy to clean. Another recent innovation is concrete countertops, which look great in an industrial-chic environment. Concrete comes in a variety of finishes, so it’s easy to customize what you would like it to look like. However, concrete also has to be sealed as it can easily be stained or warped. The final popular style of countertop is solid surface, which is an acrylic product that is non-porous and easily customizable with inlays, seamless backsplashes and integral sinks. However, solid surface countertops cannot withstand high heat and can be scorched or burned. However, one of the biggest considerations when looking to do any renovation is your budget. Are you able to splash out on something highend and gorgeous, or are you looking for something a bit more inexpensive? Setting a budget should be one of the first things you do before you start looking at materials. “There is certainly no universal rule” when it comes to budget, Krahn says. “However, one thing to keep in mind is that kitchen renovations bring back the highest return on investment out of any room in the household.” As with all renovations, it’s best to get the advice of a professional before making decisions about changing your countertop.

Renovating a heritage home is an evolution By Nicolle Hodges As 2014 quickly approaches, the vision of a home continues to transform and modernize. However as heritage home owners know, it is just as important to evolve as it is to hold on to a piece of the past. Generally a heritage home is considered to be over 60 years old with some historical association, whether embedded in its interior or overall structure. The unique process of renovating a heritage home embodies what it means to improve a home’s practicality, while maintaining a historical appeal. Harald Koehn and his team at Harald Koehn Construction Ltd. were finalists in last year’s Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards with their renovation of a 1918 heritage home in North Vancouver. The owner of the home was looking to preserve its authentic appeal while giving it a much-needed renewal; an inevitable upgrade for most heritage home owners. The process of renovating such a home is often long and requires finding a balance between maintaining the feeling of former times and incorporating the functionality of now. It is these kind of challenging projects that Koehn and his team know how to handle. “The challenge in renovating a heritage home is trying to retain its original character and style, and rebuilding it to current building bylaws and standards,” explains Koehn. “The duplication of features can also be very challenging and expensive.” When people are looking to renovate their heritage home, it is usually for

greater energy efficiency. Koehn suggests having a professional qualified renovator do a “very comprehensive assessment,” which includes structural and seismic appraisals. Also, if there is a heritage status of the existing home, he suggests having any drawings done prior to reconstruction. When it comes to recycling some of the original components of the home, Koehn says to “assemble a list of what you would like to have done,” and to remain realistic about what is possible. “Most heritage renovations are done with a sense of renewing and breathing new life into a special, older home that has seen its day,” says Koehn. “Preserving original features may not always make financial sense.” However, he encourages owners to simply ask themselves if the renovations are right for them, because often budget doesn’t even enter as the “main consideration.” For many, if the renovations make sense, it’s worth the price to preserve.

Many things to think about when replacing a garage door By Kerry Vital A garage door is often one of the first things you’ll see as you pull up to your house. It’s something that can add a lot of curb appeal to your home, and there are many options to choose from when it comes to materials and appearance. If you’re considering replacing your current garage door, it’s best to start with a professional opinion. “The first thing you should do if you are interested in buying a new garage door is call a sales representative, and have that person come visit your home so that they can take all of the necessary measurements of your garage,” says James Matheson, account manager for Overhead Door Co. of Vancouver. He or she will then go over your options with you and give you advice on what would work best for your particular needs. “You may be trying to keep the garage warm for the purpose of using it as a workshop, in which case you would most likely choose from a range of fully insulated garage doors,” Matheson says. “Or maybe you’re tired of looking at the square raised panels on your garage door because that’s what everyone else has, and so now you would like to have something a little bit fancier such as an elegant-looking carriage house-style garage door with decorative spear hinges and handles.” There are several different materials available for garage doors, including steel, vinyl, fibreglass, wood and aluminum.

One of the popular options in garage doors is the carriage-house style, which look like old-fashioned swing doors, but still go up and down like a regular garage door. Overhead Door Co. of Vancouver photo
“Most common garage doors today are made with galvanized steel sheet metal, from which you have a choice between insulated and non-insulated models,” says Matheson. “Non-insulated garage doors tend to be the least durable, as they are constructed from only one exterior layer of sheet metal, which makes them very easy to dent.” Fully insulated doors are built with three layers: an exterior layer of sheet metal, an interior layer of sheet metal and a middle layer of either polyurethane foam or polystyrene.

Blogs, Pintrest and other social media sites are great places to find creative ideas for turning old things into something new and amazing. Everyone has heard the adage “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” This has never been more true with the recent trend to “upcycle”, or turn something that may no longer be useful into something new. “Upcycling is the act of taking an unused item and literally turning it into an item you will use,” says Amber Bosma, marketing manager for UsedEverywhere.com. “Essentially you take something that’s no longer wanted or needed and turn it into something fabulous.” Almost anything can be upcycled, from old furniture to clothing to construction materials. “I think the most popular upcycle I’ve seen lately involves pallets,” says Bosma. “I’ve seen pallets turned into garden swings, into bed frames and into beautiful coffee tables!” Other creative projects include turning old clothing into pillows (or a dog bed for man or woman’s best friend

Upcycling: turning trash into treasure perhaps?), making jars into lanterns or candleholders or updating an old mirror with a new frame or paint. “That bulky old television cabinet turns into a kid’s play kitchen,” suggests Bosma. “The inherited grandfather clock you don’t like but want to keep becomes a stylish shelf.” If craft projects fill your heart with dread or conjure up some bad memories of school projects, you don’t need to worry. Upcyling doesn’t need to be complicated and it doesn’t have to require unlimited creativity. “Use the Internet to follow upcycling blogs for inspiration,” Bosma says. “For example, the UsedEverywhere.com blog has an upcycling series that shows you items that can be found inexpensively or even for free on our websites and then offers several upcycling options for that item.” Pintrest and Facebook are also a great source for upcycling ideas.

“Choose good quality items to upcycle,” says Bosma. “The item itself may be ugly, but what’s important is the quality of the material. An upcycle can be as simple as a lick of paint and new handles or as complicated as your imagination allows.” Upcycled items are more than just unique; they’re also much kinder to the environment. “Why throw it away when it can be reused and given a new lease on life?” says Bosma. “If you love unique pieces of furniture then upcycling is the way to go, plus you get to add your own flair if it’s a do-it-yourself project. And best of all, if you’re like me and you love to bag a bargain, upcycling your own items is much cheaper than buying new.” Suddenly spending weekends scouring garage sales sounds much more appealing! You never know what treasures you’ll find or what will inspire your next project.

Changing up what lies beneath your feet By Nicolle Hodges The newest trends in flooring are a direct reflection of those looking to the future, yet wanting to remain comfortable while doing so. Monarch Flooring owner Matt Robinson has noticed that there has been a shift towards more detailed and multi-dimensional flooring. When people are considering hardwood, there seems to be a move away from maple and walnut shades and more towards wide-plank white oak. Besides offering a unique look, the influx can also be credited to its long lengths and affordable pricing. Wire-brushed flooring offers a unique take on texture, while multi-level staining provides different colour effects. “It really gives some neat looks and a larger variety as opposed to monotone flooring,” says Robinson. Peter Pocrnic of Casa Madera Floors has seen something very similar when it comes to hardwood. “We’re seeing people going for the lighter shades of grey,” he says, as well as the lighter earth tones. “The brushed oak is very popular,” he says. “It goes with the lifestyle. People have kids and dogs, and these products cover scratches really well.” Robinson has noticed that when it comes to laminate, “in a lot of ways it is mirroring what is happening in hardwood,” he says. “The boards are no longer boring, and are beginning to look more detailed with hand-scraped rippled surfaces.” In addition, when it comes to baseboards, Robinson and his team are adding more square trim as opposed to rounded, furthering the overall structured feel. However, in the case of carpeting, the preferred look doesn’t follow the edgy trend. Instead, many are opting for a more plush carpeting with the cut-pile carpet, as it’s fairly thick and soft under your feet. Wool and synthetic blends are making an appearance, with an emphasis on grey and neutral tones. Vinyl has also seen a shift towards what is considered “luxury” with plank and tile. While durability is a great selling point, the product’s tile and plank format make for easier installation and repairs over the traditional 12-inch-wide sheets. When it comes to tile in particular, Fontile Kitchen and Bath Sales Specialist Sean Cloete says that with the use of technological advancements in the area of digital imaging, floor trends continue to replicate natural stone.
“All the great stones from Marmol Carrara to Calacata Gold to tiles that look like real wood, or even combining both wood and stone together is a new trend that has emerged,” says Cloete. “Combining the two is both beautiful and exciting to have.” Porcelanosa Grupo, a leader in ceramics for both floor and wall tiles, have been replicating real stone in board lengths (6 by 26 inches and 8 by 48 inches) on porcelain tile with texture for over 14 years. By using Digital Ink Imaging, they are able to replicate stone in a large format (24 by 48 inches and 18 by 38 inches) that reduces grout lines and creates a natural-looking replica. “Digital imaging allows the tile to be imagined no matter what the texture angle is, which is a step up from flat tiles,” says Cloete. Among the popular shades in flooring right now are lighter wood shades and grey. Earth tones are always in style, and can be found in all manner of materials and “Glazes have also matured to the point that glossy is no longer a standard, but now matte, budgets to suit your style and space. Monarch Flooring photos matte sheen, honed and textured matte are all natural glazes to further replicate real stone, and fooling even the most experienced in our industry.” Pocrnic advises homeowners considering replacing their flooring to set aside at least one to two weeks for the renovation depending on how large the room is, and always involve a professional. “A professional will be able to properly set up the sub-floor to ensure the installation is immaculate,” he says. He also notes that you need to look at purchasing quality products and ensuring high-quality workmanship. As the industry continues to cater to the future with metal detailing and digital imaging, there is still a focus on ensuring the interior of a home remains warm.

Interior design should suit your individual style, not trends By Nicolle Hodges When Tom Bakker’s clients ask him about what’s “new and upcoming,” he asks them how deep their wallet is, “because you will have to do what Paris tells you.” When it comes to Tom Bakker Design Ltd., he says he’s opposed to following trends. Instead, he advises to do what is timeless, because timeless is not trend-sensitive and is cost-efficient. “Quality, expertise and attention to detail surpass trends,” says Bakker, who doesn’t believe in following what “everyone else is doing.” Instead, Bakker stresses that “it’s about customizing the client’s needs, wants and desires,” and whether a client’s style is contemporary or traditional, or he is designing a house in the mountains or on the coast, it’s about the search for “quality and creativity.” When Bakker is designing the interior of a home, he finds its design direction by listening to his clients and creating a home that nurtures them; something he says is “often overlooked” in the industry. “The trend that everyone should be concerned about is not colours or tiles, it’s about the client and who they are, what they want, what their dream is,” says Bakker. “It’s not about seeing something on T.V and just hanging a new curtain up.” While interior designer Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design would tend to agree that trends “come and go,” she says it’s also about creating longevity with a classic neutral backdrop, and then incorporating accents and items that are easily changed out. Gallop foresees yellow as a popular accent colour for 2014, as well as glass and reflective materials, and spaces that embody warmth and comfort, while remaining elegant.
A new year brings new trends and new styles, whether it’s in interior design or clothing. However, designing with your own personal style in mind, whether it’s a retro look in your kitchen, right, or a cozy living area with space to entertain, below, will last longer than following every new trend. Sarah Gallop Design photos
As with all trends, they pass, and often quite quickly. In that case, Gallop suggests that people base their design decisions on how long they plan on living in that particular space. “With a short-term stay it’s important to consider resale and choosing materials and finishes that will appeal to a greater range of people,” explains Gallop. “If they plan to stay in the home for a long time it’s not a major concern to do something that is super customized to their own lifestyle or taste.”

Giving thanks for the fall trends “ from page.1 bronze and copper, as well as chevron patterns. All of these colours are ones they see continuing into the winter season as well. Gathering your own leaves to decorate the Thanksgiving table can be a great activity for kids and adults alike. Hitting your local park and choosing the perfect leaves to make a centrepiece (perhaps mixed with some feathers, chestnuts or acorns) can become a family tradition. Just make sure to give them a rinse first to remove any bugs or dirt. Another great idea for the kids is to unroll a length of butcher paper on the table, provide some coloured pencils or crayons, and let them go to town making a tablecloth or placemats. The grocery store can also be a good source for decorations, including fall flowers (your local market will be able to advise on what’s growing in your area), pumpkins and other gourds. “We’re also seeing unique one-of-a-kind decor as a hit this fall,” says Beatty. “Each piece tells its own story while being part of the bigger style story in the room.” If you’re looking for something a bit more time-consuming, consider taking some tissue paper in your favourite fall colours, wrapping clear glass vases or candleholders and securing the edges of the paper with clear tape to make an elegant addition to your tables or fireplace mantel. Whatever your style or budget, decorating for Thanksgiving doesn’t need to be complicated. A bit of creativity and some inspiration goes a long way towards making your home glow. Spending some time on sites such as Pintrest and Tumblr will garner tons of ideas. Perhaps you’ll become your neighbourhood Martha Stewart!
Among the popular fall colours this year will be earth tones such as browns and bronze, and rich jewel tones including deep purple and orange. Making your own Thanksgiving centrepiece can be as easy as gathering some leaves, or as complicated as your imagination allows.

A man cave is more than a TV room “ from page.1 with your chairs and couches. Angus notes that the two most popular furniture items he sees people purchasing are a recliner and a sectional. “Recliners are terrific these days; they’re so huge and comfortable,” he says. “If it’s just yourself then that’s fine, but you want to have buddies over, so you’ll need more seating.” Sectionals can fit several people on them at once without taking up a ton of space, so Angus says they’re perfect for man caves. However, when you think man cave, you probably think technology. You’d be right. Sean Peever, a member of Best Buy’s Geek Squad, has seen a lot of man caves in his day and he is passionate about the technology that most of them hold. Long gone are the days of a small television in the garage. “There has been a huge change in resolution lately,” Peever says. “4K TVs are really hot right now. It’s four times as much resolution as a 1080p set. That’s a drastic difference.” Many of the televisions installed in man caves these days are 46 inches or larger, Peever notes. However, a television isn’t your only option. “A projector and screen is a great way to go,” says John Penner of Audio Visual Unlimited Langley. “It’s a bigger screen and the picture is super clear. ... You can blow everything else away. It’s something you would want to write home about.” Penner recommends that a homeowner looking for a screen should look at one classified as a “daylight” screen, which will bounce more light back to your eyes and allow for a better viewing experience. “Most man caves are very bright due to ambient light,” he says. “It’s very important to have a bright screen.” When it comes to the projector, you will need to keep that ambient light in mind, so
Penner recommends looking for one with at least 2,000 to 3,000 lumens (a rating for the brightness of the light that is projected, similar to watts in a lightbulb). “3D projectors tend to have the best video processors,” he says. But the visual component isn’t the only important thing. “You’ll miss the entire experience without sound,” Best Buy’s Peever says. “It’s the biggest impact you can make.” He suggests starting with an amplifier and speakers. “I’m not talking about a sound bar or the TV speakers,” he says. “You want to feel like you’re in a theatre ... or in Rogers Arena, and if you don’t have good sound your experience won’t change.” Penner agrees, saying that he recommends homeowners purchase a 7.2 system, with three front speakers and four for the back of the room. The speakers are responsible for the first part of that number, with the remaining 0.2 being two subwoofers. “It depends on the size” of the room, he says, but “you can really play with how the listener receives sound. The more you have, the more you can play with distance.” He cites the example of a plane taking off. With a television speaker you’ll have a single source of sound, while a full surround-sound system will allow you to hear it from all around you. “You can really feel what the director was trying to achieve,” Penner says. The two subwoofers he recommends will pick up the lower register of the sound. “It’s important to have two (subwoofers) to pick up multiple ‘sweet spots’ in the room,” he says. “You don’t typically have just one seat in the room, so you want to reach everyone.
There is a lot more to the perfect man cave than the television. Whether you choose to make a full home theatre, left, or a place to relax with a gaming system and a great stereo, above, you have plenty of options for building your man space. Audio Visual Unlimited Langley photos
Your recliner might be your ‘man cave command centre’ but we can calculate sweet spots for a whole room of people.” However, with all that technology in the room, how are you planning to control it? “You can automatically control the electronics in your home with a home automation system,” Peever says. “You control it from your tablet or phone. Everything from light switches to plugs to the thermostat. It’s really the epic pinnacle of what a man cave should be.” No man cave is complete with some home automation, Penner declares. “It’s an absolute necessity in your cave,” he says. “You can actually run your entire house” off of a single remote. Lighting might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re constructing your man cave, but Penner says it is still important.
“It’s best to have three or four light circuits,” he notes. “I recommend having one circuit as sconces on the wall, and pot lights in the ceiling as the second. The third could be another set of pot lights, and the fourth a rope light at the front of the room.” If you’re looking to spend some time doing something other than watching the game, you might consider purchasing a gaming system. “The new gaming systems are going to be huge,” says Peever. “It’s an epic event to have the new PlayStation 4 and XBox One release around the same time.” Both will be released in November. However, neither of those can really be classified as purely a gaming system anymore. “They’re entertainment systems,” Peever says. “It’s a Blu-Ray player, gaming console, DVD player, movie rental service. It’s a great new world.”
