Family of four loses everything in blaze No tenants’ insurance to cover burned belongings Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
It was the searing heat that awoke Charlie Paul-Ranger, and then the flames bolted him out of bed. Charlie had been asleep in the master bedroom of the McKenzie Road home at about 10 p.m. on Saturday while his wife, Joanne, was attending the Crystal Gala breast cancer
fundraiser in Abbotsford. His two stepsons Tyler, 23, and Adam, 28, were in their rooms. Charlie quickly tried to put out the fire, but it was already too far out of control and was creeping up the wall. He flew from the room and screamed “Fire!� to his stepsons. The acrid smoke was beginning to fill the home, and the young men didn’t have
enough time to grab even their shoes. The three men escaped safely, along with their dog and three cats. Joanne arrived home to see multiple fire trucks on the scene, as well as paramedics and police officers. Crews had arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from what appeared to be the garage of the home. Continued on A5

Homeless cabins removed Structures dismantled by city within hours of construction
Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
City workers have removed several shelters built Monday at the Gladys Avenue homeless camp. Small cabins were constructed out of plywood, but were only in place for a short time before the city moved in Monday afternoon and again early Tuesday morning, said Barry Shantz, founder of the Abbotsford chapter of the B.C./Yukon Drug War Survivors (DWS). Shantz said the structures were erected one year to the day since his group began a homeless protest in Jubilee Park. That camp was dismantled in December, after which two large clusters of tents went up on Gladys Avenue. One of them – across from the Salvation Army – was dismantled in the summer. Since then, the other located near Cyril Street, has
TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News
Homeless advocates say a camp on Gladys Avenue has become overcrowded. grown substantially. Shantz said crackdowns on other homeless camp spots around the city have contributed to the expansion of the Gladys encampment. He said the structures are needed because of a lack of space and the approach of winter. “This camp is so crowded and swelling, it’s a danger to everybody.”
Shantz said workers took down three of five structures Monday afternoon, before returning overnight to dismantle the two remaining cabins and two more that had just been built. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said the city won’t permit structures to be built on what is a road rightof-way. “We cannot allow il-
legal and potentially unsafe structures to be built on the roadside,” Banman said. “Structures on road right-of-ways are illegal, unsafe and they’re against city bylaws. “There is a drastic difference between a tent and a wooden structure.” Banman said the site is “being respected by the city as a protest.” Asked if that ap-
proach will continue, he said, “The city will evaluate that as we go along.” He added that the homeless are being offered help. “There are shelter spaces available if the folks who are there want to accept the help that has been offered to them.” In late September, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled that a lawsuit filed against the city on behalf of the homeless, which contends that the city’s bylaws against camping in parks are unconstitutional, could proceed. The DWS, with the assistance of the Pivot Legal Society, had filed the lawsuit after being evicted from Jubilee Park. The City of Abbotsford argued that the suit was too broad, but Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled that the application could proceed. Pivot said they hope the lawsuit would go to trial in 2015.
Public hearing for homeless housing rezoning Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
A proposal that would rezone land on Gladys Avenue to allow for housing for the homeless was given first approval by council and will move to public hearing on Nov. 3. The properties are on the west side of Gladys Avenue, just north of George Ferguson Way, and are being rezoned to allow for a low-barrier supportive housing project – where support services like counselling, addiction treatment and more are provided to residents – with the hope of securing provincial funding. While all of council voted to give the proposal first and second reading, Coun. Henry Braun called it a “poor second choice” to a former proposal for a 21-bed supportive housing project put forward by Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) at 2408 Montvue Ave., across from their headquarters. In February, a tie vote defeated the project. Some of the opposition was due to the location of the project, particularly from the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association (ADBA), which objected to its location in the C7 zone, a special downtown city zone that prohibits supportive
emergency shelters from the site and recovery use. The Gladys location is not in the C7 have the Ministry of Transportation sign zone and the ADBA has provided a letter the bylaw. Many neighbours of the proposed site of support for the current proposal. But Braun said the city now must do- do not support the rezoning process.

Fire destroyed the master bedroom of a home on McKenzie Road on Saturday night.

Family friend asking for clothing donations From A1
They later discovered that this area was in fact the master bedroom, and it was where Charlie had been sleeping. The cause of the blaze is believed to be electrical in nature. In the days following the fire, the family, who had been renting the home for the last four years, has been better able to assess the damage, discovering that almost nothing is salvageable. Everything in the main bedroom has been destroyed, except for a pine box filled with photo albums. Heavy smoke in the rest of the home coated much of their belongings with a thick soot and extreme heat melted several items. The four did not have tenants’ insurance to cover the losses. Joanne works as a flagger, and Charlie works in a steel yard. Adam is collecting workers’ compensation after catching
both of his hands in a machine at a rubber-products manufacturer, where Tyler also is employed. Although they have money coming in, replacing all their belongings will be a hardship, and family friend Keri Buzikievich wants to help. She can only collect clothes for now, as there is no storage for furniture and other household items. (Charlie, Joanne, Tyler and Adam are currently staying with friends and family as they search for new accommodation.) Buzikievich is asking for donations of men’s clothing in shirt sizes large and extra-large and pants with waist sizes 36, 38 and 40. Also needed are shoes in sizes 12 and 13. She is also asking for women’s clothing in size 14 for pants and size large for shirts, as well as shoes in a size 10. Buzikievich would also like to replace Joanne’s flagger’s gear
(size 10.5 for work boots and large or extra-large for the coveralls). Anyone with items to donate is asked to call Buzikievich at 778-779-
1369 to arrange dropoff. The family is also hoping to track down one of their cats that made it out of the fire
but has since gone missing. “Garfield� is a large orange cat, and if anyone finds him, they are asked to contact Adam at 778-344-1790.

Candidate challenged over presidency label Dimanno’s Abbotsford Ratepayers Association dissolved in 2012 Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
A council hopeful has challenged candidate Vince Dimanno over the active status of his Abbotsford Ratepayers Association (ARA), which was officially dissolved more than two years ago. Dimanno’s biography on the AbbotsfordFirst website – he is one candidate in a slate of five members – states he is currently the president of the ARA. He has also been cited in other media reports this year as being the ARA president. Gerda Peachey, who previously ran unsuccessfully for the mayor’s seat, has taken issue with the reference, alleging the ARA is a “phantom” organization. The News contacted BC Registry Services on Aug. 14 to obtain the society summary for the ARA. It states that the society, incorporated on June 24, 2008, was dissolved on April 13, 2012 for failure to file reports, indicating that the last annual report filed is “not available” and the listing under last annual general meeting (AGM) says “no AGM” held.
Joe Chahal withdraws The deadline for the withdrawal of candidates for the municipal election expired on Friday and one candidate has dropped out of the race. Joe (Joginder) Singh Chahal has formally withdrawn his name as a candidate for city council. There are still 30 candidates running for council, with eight to be elected. There are two candidates for the mayor’s seat and 16 for school trustee positions, with seven to be elected on Nov. 15.
On Tuesday, a representative from BC Registry Services said the ARA never filed an annual report with the registry. Dimanno said the last meeting of the association was last year, though he did not know exactly when. He indicated the ARA has a constitution that stipulates the organization must maintain a certain number of directors in order to remain a society. He said no one stepped forward to be a director and he was unable to file papers without a minimum number, according to the Society Act, and as such, he can’t call a meeting. He said that while the ARA does not have a
secretary, a vice-presi- she attended meetings dent or the required when the organization board members, “I am began, but did not bestill the president and I come a member, said am until such time as I Dimanno’s reference to his presidency may crehave to step down.” He said his role as ate a public perception president continues as that the ARA is “a current, registered he maintains association.” records, a bank When asked account, and by The News if communicates he could prowith about 90 vide financial paid members statements for he says the orthe association, ganization has.

But Peachey, who said in respect to potential
legal action. He said the ARA has nothing to do with the election, and the fact that the society had been dissolved by the registry is irrelevant to its operations. “To say it has anything to do with that is ... a personal attack on me...” On Oct. 13, a notice posted on the ARA website said that while some individuals had asked for a membership list and financial statements “no member will be (sic) have his or her name revealed to this group, or the media, without your expressed consent.” In a letter from Dimanno posted on Oct. 11 on the Abbotsford Today – a
website of which he is the co-owner – he says the society was dissolved by the provincial registry last year “but not due to a lack of activity.” A call to the phone number listed on the ARA website led to a message that the number is no longer in use. Dimanno said they stopped paying for the toll-free number a year ago. After The News spoke with Dimanno, the phone number on the website changed. In addition, a notice on the website stated the ARA “meets regularly and General Meeting notices are posted on this site and sent out to Members by email … We meet at Bethel

Reformed Church on Gladwin Road. Doors open at 6:30pm and we convene by 7:00pm.” A church official told The News that the organization has not met there “for a long time.” Following The News interview and Peachy’s emails, the website was changed to say the ARA “meets quarterly (based on confirmed attendance) and General Meeting notices are sent out to Members by email.” The copyright on the webpage was also updated from 2012 to 2014. Dimanno is running with the AbbotsfordFirst slate along with Sandy Blue, Kelly Chahal, Brenda Falk and Ross Siemens.

A lesson in need for preparedness Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand The disabled, and subsequently rescued Russian container freighter over the weekend was a huge wake-up call to British Columbians and for the federal government. The Simushir appears to be a modern, wellmaintained ship, yet for some reason lost power and was essentially adrift only 12 or so miles off the coast of Haida Gwaii. The stars were aligned, it seems – no powerful storm hampering recovery efforts, a fortuitous visit to Prince Rupert by an American heavy rescue tug and a Canadian Coast Guard vessel in proximity. The Coast Guard, despite breaking a towline two or three times, did manage at one nautical mile an hour to pull the Simushir a little further out to sea before the rescue tug completed its 24-hour trip from Rupert to the
stricken vessel. That the Russian ship was a container cargo carrier rather than an oil tanker was also a bit of a blessing. Had it run aground, it was ‘only’ carrying hundreds of tonnes of oil rather than the 50-million-plus gallons of crude that a tanker has within its holds. And while we all remember the devastation that occurred in Alaska when the Exxon Valdez struck a rock in Prince William Sound, we tend to forget that every day there are many tankers cruising our coastline carrying vast quantities of crude bound from Alaska to Washington and California ports. Anyone living on the western slope of Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford can see the lights and flares of Cherry Point, Washington’s largest oil refinery, just seven miles south of the Peace Arch. Tankers that have sailed along our coast, renowned in the annals of maritime history as the “Graveyard of the Pacific,” discharge their loads there daily. From now until spring, the coastal storms will be relentless, and should one of those hundreds of tankers that ply the Alaska run suffer the same mechanical failure as the
American tug will be in the vicinity, and we can’t rely on Canadian Coast Guard vessels that have neither the power nor the equipment to adequately rescue massive tankers, or for that matter, the 137-metre Simushir. Broken towlines and one mile an hour prove that out. The feds have budgeted billions on replacement vessels for the Canadian Navy, and are spending a great many more millions trying to keep our second-hand submarines afloat, yet one of the world’s most pristine coastlines is under daily threat of environmental catastrophe without any protection. The Simushir was a valuable lesson in what can go wrong while, through luck and circumstance, disaster was averted. I would like to think the federal government has learned from this, and will act with speed to acquire such rescue vessels, and in the meantime, contract a commercial tug to be on standby on our northern coast. Otherwise, a massive environmental disaster on our shorelines will kiss off Northern Gateway “national interest” forever. markrushton@abbynews.com
Simushir, the potential for an environmental calamity is huge. Except for the waters in the vicinity of Vancouver, Canada has no heavy rescue tugs on our coast. What happened this weekend should – must – be a warning shot across the bow of the federal government as it presses to have “in our national interest,” the Northern Gateway oil pipeline deliver Alberta crude
One of the world’s most pristine coastlines is under daily threat of environmental catastrophe. our north coast. Adding hundreds more tankers to the hundreds already plying our coast makes the need for large rescue tugs mandatory, and not just if and when the oil starts to flow through Enbridge’s pipeline. We can’t continue to rely on luck that an

First, I would like to apologize to the homeless for the way people talk as though you don’t exist. You do, and you matter – don’t let anyone tell you different. Second, I live in the area in question. I think it’s a great idea (supportive housing proposal on Gladys Avenue) to use land that, from what I see every day, is not being used. The only people I’ve seen in that “park land� are city workers tidying it up every so often. I have lived in this area for 25 years and seen drug raids, car chop shops and grow-ops and never have I complained or been scared because, for the most part, it doesn’t involve me nor has it ever threatened my life. Having a building in the neighbourhood that helps the homeless would be an improvement. No, they are not all drug addicts and criminals and we need to stop treating them as such. Third, since when do we consider ourselves above others? As a person who lives paycheque to paycheque, I am thoroughly aware of the fact that should I lose my job, there’s a distinct possibility I could end up in the same place as the camp on Gladys. The truly sad part is
“those people� would be more than willing to include me in their group because I accept them for who they are. I’m hardly one to judge how a person wound up living on the streets and off the charity of others, and I imagine it’s quite the humbling experience. “Street people� often have the most fascinating stories regarding life. Because of their living arrangements, society refuses to acknowledge them as interesting people and that’s just shame on us as a human race. My own father went from living on the streets of Vancouver to a highly successful and honourable man. Who’s to say that if we give “those people� a lift up, they aren’t capable of great things that could change the world? We should be ashamed of ourselves in this city for our lack of compassion and love for one another. Life is hard – sometimes harder for some than others. Shame on all city members who shun these people and look down on them because of who they are right now. Odds are they are better people than you, with more humour, compassion, love and potential to be solid members of our community. Elya White, Abbotsford

John Smith to retire from politics Served as school trustee and councillor for 33 years
Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
After 33 years of public service, Coun. John Smith is ready to retire from politics. Smith cites many accomplishments during his 12 terms in civic politics, but is quick to acknowledge the assistance of many great people on the organizations on which he served. Smith, who was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to Canada in 1964, has lived in Abbotsford for 38 years. He has been married to wife Judy for 48 years and has four adult children and grandchildren. He was elected as school trustee in 1981 and served for 24 years before running for council in 2005, where he has served since. During his time on the school board, Smith said the district went through a major expansion and became a “district of choice” with many options such as fine arts schools, traditional, French immersion and more. After deciding to leave school board, a group of friends persuaded him to run for council. He said at the time, a main issue in discussion was improving local facilities. He said
there was talk of a need to ex- more than $12 million paid to pand the Abbotsford Recreation the team since they began. Smith said he understood the Centre, create a museum and art gallery, and a sports and en- ongoing public criticism and tertainment centre.

principles and beliefs, you’re a lost soul in my view.” With his background on ASDAC, he said he “agonized” over his decision to vote against the Abbotsford Community Services’ proposal to build supportive housing downtown in his last term. But said he ultimately he couldn’t “abandon” the downtown businesses who struggle. After the project was defeated, a task force on homelessness was created and Smith sat as co-chair. He said he has little doubt that recommendations made by the task force will come to fruition and that “Abbotsford will become known for the way we deal with this fairly significant social issue.” He said one regret is that he won’t be on council to see it happen. Smith noted there will be at least three new councillors elected in November and it will be a “huge learning curve” for those elected. With the election less than a month away, Smith said he wants to encourage voters in the municipal election to “do their own homework on where the truth lies.”

Once the cash register was open, the culprit lunged across the counter, grabbed money from the till, and ran away east on South Fraser Way. The suspect is described as Caucasian,

Hundreds of motorcycles were on the roads through Abbotsford on Sunday morning for the 28th annual Central and Upper Fraser Valley Toy Run. Each rider brought a new unwrapped toy or a financial donation. Riders left from Chilliwack and Mission and met up at the Fraser Valley Automall in Abbotsford to proceed to the Ag-Rec Building at Exhibition Park.

Unitex donates to Starfish program Company announces contribution of 220 backpacks A local company has announced a major donation to the Abbotsford Food Bank and Abbotsford Rotary Club in support of the Starfish Pack Program (formerly known as Blessings in a Backpack). Unitex Sales Ltd., a provider of corporate marketing materials and uniforms, announced on Oct. 14 that it will donate 221 new backpacks to the program – a donation worth more than $5,500. Unitex Sales has been the sole supplier of the backpacks used by the program to provide elementary students in need with food packages containing two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and snacks every weekend. The program provides meals to children who depend on school breakfast and lunch programs during the week. Unitex Sales has been providing the backpacks to the program at cost, as it has
risen to 195 children receiving backpacks in 13 local elementary schools. Unitex president Bob Johnson said the company is pleased by the efforts of the local Rotary Club to take on a leadership role to make the program happen. “I grew up dirt poor. I know first-hand what a big difference just a little bit of help can make for a family struggling to get by,” he said. Abbotsford Rotary Club president Hugh Ellis said the donation will ensure that all cash donations for the program go toward the purchase of food. Groceries for the program cost $525 for each child during the school year. Local stores such as Cooper’s Foods and Save-On-Foods on Whatcom Road are providing the groceries at cost, and community donations have allowed the program to dramatically expand over the last year.

Bob Johnson of Unitex Sales Ltd. displays one of the backpacks that his company has donated to the Starfish Pack Program. Local churches, including Hill City, Northview, Ross Road and Gateway, have donated money to the program, as well as provided volunteers who shop, pack and deliver backpacks every week. A local construction company, First Choice Transformations, do-
nated all of the funds needed to cover one local school and also provided weekly volunteers from among family and friends to do the shopping and packing. There are currently more than 100 volunteers involved in the Starfish Pack Program. Dave Murray, man-
ager of the Abbotsford Food Bank, said community support for this program is unprecedented in the community. “Thirty-six local businesses plus many, many individuals raised over $100,000 for the program last year. Kids going hungry for days at a time touched people in Abbotsford in a very real way,” he said. Estimates put the number of children in need of the program at 400. Johnson is challenging other business owners to make similar contributions to the program. For more information, visit clubrunner. ca/abbotsford.

Charging station use up Jeff Nagel Black Press
More drivers are plugging into B.C.’s public electric vehicle charging stations, according to new statistics. BC Hydro subsidiary Powertech Labs says the usage of 350 charging stations it tracks has more than doubled in the last year. It recorded 3,745 charging sessions in August, up from 1,684 in the same month a year earlier. The data doesn’t cover all stations – another 200 locations aren’t tracked by Powertech. “From the individual station data so far, the busiest stations appear to be in high-traffic hubs, especially in urban and suburban malls
and downtown shopping areas, including those in smaller towns,” said Jim Vanderwal, senior program manager at the Fraser Basin Council. Vanderwal said there are now 1,300 electric cars on the road. According to www.plugshare.com, a website that helps electric car owners find places to plug in, there are charging stations at Highstreet, the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), Tim Hortons on Sumas Way, Abbotsford Nissan, the UFV Flight School, and Abbotsford Senior Secondary School and Parallel Marketplace – each operated by the associated location.

Energy efficiency. Good for smaller footprints. And your bottom line. Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on highefficiency models.
Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money. Save hot water ■ Fix leaky taps and install watersaving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets. ■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-flow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types. ■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.
Save heat ■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there. ■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop. ■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.
Upgrading can save you two ways When it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for highefficiency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more efficient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

Diwali
A23
Thursday, October 23
Celebrate light Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is a five-day festival which falls on Thursday, October 23th this year. In English, the term Diwali can be translated into “a row of lights,” and the festival is also called Divali or Deepavali. The Hindu festival is celebrated annually on the 13th lunar day of the Krishna paksha of the Hindu calendar month of Ashwin. Falling in accordance with the luni-solar Hindu calendar, the Diwali festival unites friends and family in celebration each year. The holiday originated as a harvest festival that marked the last harvest before winter. For those of the Hindu faith, this is the most important festival of the year, and is celebrated by families engaging in traditional activities at home.
the first day of Diwali, housewives consider it auspicious to clean the home and shop for gold or kitchen utensils. Many people wear new clothes and jewelry as they light the first lamp of Diwali. Naraka Chaturdasi is the second day of the festival, where people decorate their homes with clay lamps or diyas and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using coloured powders or sand. Amavasya is celebrated on the third day with the worship of Lakshimi, the goddess of wealth. This is the main day of the festival when families gather together for Lakshmi puja, a prayer to Lakshmi, followed by mouth-watering feasts and firework festivities.
Though celebrated around the world, Diwali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Malaysia and Fiji.
Kartika Shudda Padyami is celebrated on the fourth day and on the fifth day Yama Dvitiya is recognized, where sisters invite brothers into their homes, and welcome them with love and a lavish meal.
Dhanteras starts the first day of the festival, which is significant in Indian business communities as many people make customary purchases of precious metals. On
Throughout the festival, celebrators wear new clothing, jewelry and come together as families and friends in order to share entertainment, food and treats. Homes are deco-
rated with lights and candles and cleaned to represent a new start. Diwali involves lighting small clay lamps filled with oil to represent the victory of good over evil. The lamps are kept lit overnight and the house is tidied to make the goddess Lakshmi feel welcome. Firecrackers

themselves and their loved ones. In the quiet tribal villages, such as those dotted around the vast state of Maharashtra in the west of India, the celebration is generally a more simple affair, defined by humble offerings and wholesome feasts. Few, if any, firecrackers are burst and many follow their own particular tribal traditions. Most villagers try to buy new clothes, but few can afford gold, jewelry or elaborate gifts. There are some Diwali rituals common across most of the subcontinent. In both city and countryside, small clay oil lamps (or diyas) are placed at the thresholds of homes, shops and offices throughout the five-day affair to celebrate the legend of the return of the Hindu god, Lord Rama, to his kingdom after 14 years in exile. According to mythology his people lit diyas to welcome his return. Hindus in cities and villages also believe
Gambling card games are often played in both villages and cities, as it is generally considered auspicious to gamble during Diwali. This started from a legend that a Hindu deity played a dice game with his consort on the fourth day of Diwali and she won. Some Hindus believe Lakshmi can be invoked through gambling. Gambling parties are an especially popular pastime during Diwali in Mumbai. The parties typically start at 10pm in bungalows and farmhouses and continue well into the early morning. “Bets can start as small as Rs 20 (40 cents) and as big as Rs 5,000 ($93). In a night people can lose up to Rs 50,000 ($930),” explains Vikram Mehta, 30, founder of Red Om Entertainment. “People don’t mind losing – it’s part of the ambiance and people are having fun.

Windows and doors are left open to let the goddess in and homes are cleaned from top to bottom. Brightly-coloured rangolis are drawn using fingers on the ground at the entrances to homes and offices. These geometric designs are usually symbols of nature and their purpose is to welcome guests and to encourage Lakshmi inside.

try Indian sweets – known as mithai – are exchanged and people have large family gatherings in their homes.
There are various other rituals celebrated in towns and villages on each of the five days. For example, on the last day of Diwali in many parts of India, a sister cooks for her brother and he bestows gifts on her in celebration of the love between siblings. “The modern world is changing and festivals are the only way to keep our culture and traditions alive. For us Diwali is the victory of good over evil, the returning of good back into our lives and starting a new year with a positive approach and forgetting all the bad that has happened,” says 45-yearold Mumbai housewife Heena Damle. Typically fire crackers are set off from dusk, often throughout the night. The noise is believed to herald the defeat of evil and catch the attention of the gods.

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

Kitsilano home gets a facelift from Novell Design Build A home from 1928 is renovated from top to bottom to fit the needs of a homeowner with plans to have a family and bring the old home up-to-date. By Kerry Vital Old World style and thoughtful details combine in a seriously gorgeous home in Kitsilano, completely renovated by Novell Design Build. “We are so excited about this house,” says Laurel James, director and principal designer at Novell Design Build. “It truly was crafted; there’s something in every room and it really suits the homeowner. Everywhere you look there’s a surprise.” The owner purchased the home, originally built in 1928, with the intention to renovate it. “Multiple renovations over the years compromised the original character of the home,” James says. “The entire house has been re-planned and the roof lifted to accommodate a growing family.” Lifting the roof changed the top Áoor attic from a space with no head room to a full upper level with room for sleeping and relaxing. “We had a strict limit to the amount of square footage we could add to the house, yet
we desperately wanted to create a usable upper level,” James says. “We exceeded the code requirements for thermal ratings on the exterior walls in the lower level, earning a space credit that we dispersed upstairs, along with lifting our mechanical room up into the attic crawl space where it was excluded from our square footage, and maximizing space exemptions for storage and head room clearance on the stairs. All of this allowed us to scrape together enough room for two bedrooms, one with a seating area and desk, a bathroom, laundry and storage upstairs.” Other highlights include 12-foot ceilings in the kitchen, designer lighting pieces and a custom cast Àreplace in the den. “The powder room is articulated with a dramatic display of calacutta (marble) hex tiles, offset with an antique vanity, restored lighting Àxtures and un-lacquered brass Àttings throughout,” says James. “It’s really dramatic.” The renovations incorporate the homeowner’s art and antique collection, which was an important feature for him. “An Old World feel, eclectic mix of classic styles and thoughtful detailing bring character and lift back to this early century home,” James says. Another stunning feature of the home is the capability for indoor and outdoor living. “A massive folding operable wall as wide as the kitchen facilitates a true connection to the outdoors,” James says. This allows the homeowner to live and dine inside or outside.

Crafting and sculpting an old home into something fit for a growing family from page 31 One of the little surprises that James is so excited about is the drawers beneath the stairs that allow for more storage and add some interest. “The closets in the bedroom were really inspired,” James says. “We were able to turn his thoughts into reality with unique closets with French doors on the front. It’s really the right feel for the home, and creates visual interest with Hampton-esque closet built-ins.” As with the square footage considerations, renovating this older home was not without its challenges. “Bringing the structure and energy performance of a 1928 house up to, and beyond, current codes was a challenge,” says James. “We managed to do it with thoughtful restructuring strategies that both allowed us to keep the original foundations and facilitate an open Áoor plan – along with using new technologies in spray foam insulation and air tightness. To do this, we had to carefully manage the budget together with the owner to allow for these upgrades to the infrastructure; what you don’t see behind the walls.” The renovations took just under a year, but the homeowner is extremely happy with the Ànished product. “He is so thrilled with the home and how it turned out,” James says. “Any renovation of this scope is a big risk; you have to trust the people you work with. He’s thankful he took those risks.” For more information about Novell Design Build and their projects, visit www.novelldesignbuild.com or call 604-876-0339 for an appointment at their ofÀce at 303-1177 West Broadway in Vancouver. They can also be found on Twitter at @novelldb.

Habitat offers a hand up, not a hand out Benefits of a Habitat House Check out our ReStore and our website to learn more.
In a recent study by CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the benefits Habitat for Humanity homeowners receive are: • Homeowners pay no more than 30% of the family’s income. This ensures that they have the money to provide a proper diet and pay their utilities. • Habitat homeowners are building equity with
every mortgage payment due to Habitat’s no-interest home loan. • 58% reported that they are better off financially in all areas. • Homebuyers’ comments highlighted their previous poor quality, unhealthy and crowded living conditions. The homebuyers also noted the positive impacts for their families of obtaining good quality hous-
ing. In addition, they commented on the importance of the security, stability and sense of control that comes with homeownership. • Among the homebuyers surveyed, 39% reported that their previous housing was in need of major repairs — 36% noting overcrowding and 41% citing that their previous housing was too costly.

Jennifer Scott: A Good Chick To Know
A35
Does your old ¦replace look like this?
By Kerry Vital For style expert Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know, style is about more than homes or clothing. In fact, it’s a combination of both for the designer who started off working purely in fashion. “I kind of organically ended up doing this,” Scott says. “I have a Bachelor of Design (degree) from Ryerson University in Toronto, and worked in fashion as a stylist. I found that many of the principles of design transfer over to interiors, and started doing a lot more of that kind of design work.” In 2011, her design won second place in the BC’s Best Young Designer competition. Scott started A Good Chick To Know four years ago, and continues to assist clients with many aspects of their lives. She offers interior design services as well as wardrobe styling, and notes that the principle of “something old, something new” works well for both facets of the design industry. As for where the name came from, Scott laughs and says that she has always had the name in the back of her head. “I thought of the name years ago but didn’t want to use it until I found the perfect business. This business is perfect for the name!” she says. As fall and winter begins, many people look at updating their homes and their wardrobe; Scott has a few tips. “Most people think of changing colours when it comes to fall, but I think you need to look at what’s been popular this year,” she says. “Nice neutral whites and off-whites have been in style along with nudes, and I think this will stay through the winter.” Instead, she urges people to look at different textures. “My home is white, so instead of doing white sheer curtains, I’m doing white velvet for example,”
Upgrade its look & gas efficiency PLUS add value to your home like this or this Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick To Know is enjoying the return to neutral whites and off-whites in her own home, and urges people to consider different textiles and textures. A Good Chick To Know photos
Scott says. “Bring back the textiles!” Cozy blankets and other textiles are all great for the colder months. “You want the look to be soft and cuddly,” she says. When it comes to fashion, Scott tells people to look for interesting patterns. “There’s not one big ‘it’ colour, so a tone-on-tone pattern will add a lot of interest,” she says. “I’m also really loving all the metals. Yellow gold, rose gold, white gold. There’s been a real return to traditional glamour, which is nice.”

Hitting the floor with cool and sleek tiles By Kerry Vital Flooring is an integral part of any renovation. It’s often one of the first things people consider when looking to renovate, and it can tie the entire room together into one cohesive space. “The most important thing to consider when installing a new floor is that you don’t want it to look renovated,” says Sanj Aggarwal of Mainland Tile. “Sometimes it can look a little out of place. For example, an ultra-modern style in a traditional home. You want there to be a nice flow between rooms.” West Coast is a popular style in many aspects of home decor, and this translates to flooring as well. “The West Coast is a lot different than other areas,” Aggarwal says. “What works somewhere else won’t always work here. Earth tones with grey walls seems to work well in Vancouver.” He cites a recent example of a home in South Surrey that includes marble tile on the main floor in a modern design. “There are a lot of clean lines and crisp colours,” he says.
Another example that works well on the West Coast is a return to nature and more subdued shades. Ornate traditional styles are more popular outside of the Lower Mainland. Larger format tiles such as 12” by 24” and even larger are a popular choice, while smaller sizes are going out of style. Other out-of-fashion styles include tiles inlaid with a design and glass mosaics. Popular flooring differs depending on the room it’s being installed in. For example, clean lines and neutral colours are most popular in the master ensuite, to give the homeowner a spa-like feeling. “You want to enjoy the setting,” Aggarwal says. “You’re going for a clean design; this is not the place you want to feel cozy. White-on-white-on-white works well in a modern design.” In the kitchen, natural stones are still in. “Marble, travertine and porcelain are still very much in style,” says Aggarwal. “For example, you could put marble on the floor with very modern cabinets.”
Popular styles in tile flooring right now depend on the room it’s being installed in, but cool and modern West Coast styles are on-trend no matter where you are. Mainland Tile photos

The UFV Cascades golf teams were still dreaming of repeating as national champions on Friday morning, but their aspirations weren’t given a chance to materialize after officials cancelled the final round of the three-day PING CCAA Golf National Championships due to bad weather. The Cascades began the tournament at the Club de Golf Lorette in Quebec City on Wednesday ranked as the top men’s and women’s teams in the nation after winning both PacWest championships. However, they fell behind in the first round. In the final standings (which were calculated based on the first two rounds), the Cascades women achieved silver, while the men found bronze.

Hawks’ slide continues You could be the one Mouat falls despite fourth quarter heroics
to win a trip of a lifetime!
Paul Esau Abbotsford News
The W. J. Mouat Hawks are having a tough year, what with the relative youth of the squad and the constant injuries, but they almost surprised the visiting Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers on Friday amidst the mid-October drizzle. The Hawks eventually succumbed 45-16, but were down only by a score early in the fourth quarter after rallying from a 24-0 deficit with 16 quick points. After having spent much of the game being beaten down by the visibly larger Panthers, the Hawks put together a 60 yard drive to the end zone in the fourth quarter for their first points of the game. Mouat got a two-point conversion from Elijah Falconer, recovered an onside kick, and then picked up another TD and conversion to claw their way back into the competition. Both touchdowns came on runs from se-

‘We’re going there to win’ From A42
Natasha Mackenzie “really stepped up,” according to Bertram. “I take my hat off to those three and how they performed in securing their conference championship and eventually a silver medal at nationals,” he said. Jen Woods led the way for the Cascades women, finishing sixth in the individual standings at 14-over par after carding rounds of 79 and 81. Kelley
Dalzell (80-83) was right behind her in seventh place at 17-over, while Natasha Mackenzie (9383) was 19th at 31-over. The standings were based on Woods and Dalzell’s combined score of 31-over which placed UFV nine strokes back of the Champlain St. Lawrence Lions, the tournament host squad. On the men’s side, Aaron Pauls was the top Cascade, tying for seventh place at minus-1 for the tourney with rounds of 69 and 74 on his scorecard. Kaleb Fisher (75-71) was tied for 13th at
2-over, while Simon Blaker (7474) was tied for 17th at 4-over. The UFV men collectively finished at 7-over, trailing the Holland College Hurricanes (plus-1) and the Camosun Chargers (plus-4). While coach Betram was proud of what is once again a great result for his players, he wished his teams could have played a third round. “Getting a medal and just getting on the podium isn’t what we were after. We were going there to win.”

McPHERSON, James Charles November 8, 1925 October 11, 2014 Surrounded by his family, James McPherson passed away peacefully at the Abbotsford Hospital. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Dad always remained a Prairie boy at heart. In 1947, he began his career at the Insurers Advisory Organization where he met Patricia Muller whom he married in 1948.

He was loving, patient, kind, honourable, wise, and generous beyond words to his family and many charities.

He was a great parent and role model and we can only hope we are as good of a person as he was. Left to mourn his passing are his 4 children, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great - grandchildren. He was predeceased by our beloved Mother and after 14 years, they are finally together again.

Auntie Jean as she was known to all that knew her passed away at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, BC, surrounded by her family that loved her dearly. Born in Cambusbarron, Stirling, Scotland to Jane and George Templeton just at the start of World War II Jean had many memories she would share of what it was like growing up in those times. Jean immigrated to Canada in 1964 as a young girl following in her older sister, Marcet Kerr’s, footsteps. She worked for the Harrison Hotel from 1964 until her retirement in 2004. She was one of the longest standing employees that had remained at the hotel through the many change of owners. Jean started at the front desk where she met many movie stars and well known people. She then moved to the Payroll office and finally finishing her last 10 years at the Harrison Resort Golf Course. In those years Jean enjoyed curling and spending time with the friends that she made in the village. She especially enjoyed her time spent with her long time friends, Barb Piegsa, Sandy Maslin and June Bannerman.
In 2009 Jean sold her place in Harrison and moved to Abbotsford to be closer to her family. Here she enjoyed her retirement by spending time with her great nieces and great nephew. Everyone who knew her loved her and many a times you would hear “I wish I had an Auntie Jean!!” She loved her family and would be there to help with anything. Unfortunately, in May she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer which progressed so fast she was taken from us 5 months later. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Jean was predeceased by her Mum and Dad, her sisters Susan and Marcet, her niece Ailsa and nephew George. Left behind to mourn her loss are her sisters Catriona Warburton (Neil, Alan & Joanna) and Lorna Dow (Jim & Karen), her brother John Templeton (Rena, Sandra, John & Alison), and Uncle David Martin. Left behind in Canada are her nieces Shielagh Kerr, Moira Fraser (Ryan), Taylor & Brooke Kerr, Kyla Fraser and her nephews, George Kerr (Lisa), Bill Kerr, and Rory Fraser. Special thanks to Drs. Muthayan, Winston, & Gill, the nurses and staff at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and the excellent care she received from the staff at the Christine Morrison Hospice. No service by request. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Christine Morrison Hospice. “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” Walt Whitman
