The South Delta SwimSociety hopes the munici-pality will consider build-ing a new facility to meet agrowing demand.

Members of the societymade a presentation toDelta’s parks, recreationand culture commissionto discuss their proposalfor an eight-lane, 50-metreaquatic facility in SouthDelta. Society representa-tives said local swim clubsface challenges accommo-dating swimmers, notingfour out of five clubs havewaitlists.

Hoping for a cost-sharing arrangement, thesociety indicated it wouldbe seeking a meeting withMP Carla Qualtrough andthat the provincial govern-ment and Delta schooldistrict have also beenapproached.

The commission madeno promises but agreed toask civic staff to provide

a report to look at theaquatic needs in the com-munity as well as an auditof scheduling and avail-ability.

Saying a new purpose-built facility would freeup capacity at existingfacilities for programmingand public swimming, thesociety’s Dave Colter toldthe Optimist the clubs,which are at around 550members in total, alreadycan’t accommodate thedemand to get into com-petitive swimming.

“Swimming in SouthDelta, particularly on themore competitive side,the age group training andmaster swimming andespecially with the young-er kids, has tripled in sizethe last five to six years.While we’re currently ableto swim in the WinskillAquatic Centre and, start-ing in May, we can usethe Ladner outdoor pool,the reality is we all have awaitlist,” he said.

“Particularly as it relates

to the summer clubs andour youth programs, weare turning away kidsevery single year becausewe simply cannot getaccess to any more poolspace to do training. So it’salways a balancing act ofhowmany kids you can getinto the pool at one timeand still provide a qualityprogram for them.”

Colter said the munici-pality has tried to be

accommo-dating butthere just isn’tenough poolspace for eve-ryone.

“We’relooking at thegrowth of ourclubs, andthen we’relooking downthe road atthe poten-tial growthwithin theSouth Deltacommunitythrough theSouthlands,

through TsawwassenSprings, through TFNdevelopments. We’re ask-ing, ‘If we’re full now, whathappens when all thosecome on stream and howdo we continue to growour clubs and the sport ofswimming in South Deltaand still meet everyone’sneeds?’ We just don’t thinkthat’s possible,” Coltersaid.

He said aquatic centresbuilt in some other com-munities have cost tensof millions, but the Deltaproposal would involvea partnership to buildsomething potentially lessexpensive, geared mainlytoward swim training andcompetitive swimming.

Colter added a newfacility would be able tohost events, a big advan-tage for groups such as theLadner Stingrays that haveto hold their annual swimmeet in Richmond.

The proposed facilitywould also enable Deltato host larger provincialswimmeets that bring inthousands of people overseveral days.

“It would be a tremen-dous advantage and giveeconomic spinoffs,” Coltersaid. “Those meets arethere to be had becausethere’s just not enoughof those facilities in theLower Mainland commu-nities that can host thosekinds of things.”

Winskill Park should notbe redeveloped for otherpurposes, according tonaturalist Anne Murray,who believes its originalintent must be main-tained.

In a letter to Delta’sparks, recreation and cul-ture commission, Murray,a member of the DeltaNaturalists Society, saidthe Tsawwassen site’s eco-logical habitat should bemaintained by keeping itas a park in perpetuity.

Delta is undertaking areview of the site throughthe Winskill Park Master

Plan, a plan that couldinvolve the adjacentKinVillage, which is alsoeyeing major changes.

However, Murray didsome research, findingthat back in 1968 potatofarmer Chris Winskillsold the site to Delta andthat the pledge had beenmade to keep it as a park.She’s not sure if any for-mal covenant was signed,noting some develop-ment has already takenplace, including a medicalcentre in the 1970s, butthe original intent shouldhonoured because of thepark’s benefits.

“Natural areas haveimportant recreationalvalue, providing spacesthat benefit mental andphysical health. Parksshould not be consideredonly as formal recreationalspaces,” she said.

Murray also notedthe park’s mature treesprovide habitat for migra-tory birds, something thatshould be consideredsince Delta is working on aBirds Biodiversity Strategy.

Tom Bearrs, presidentof the Delta NaturalistsSociety, wrote in support,saying the society endors-es Murray’s position thatWinskill Park be main-tained as parkland.

In September 1968, theOptimist reported thatChris Winskill sold the siteto Delta for $230,000. Atthe time, parks and recrea-tion commission chair-man Patrick Shields said“no consideration wouldbe given to developing theland for any other usesthan for park purposes.”

He also said the 20-acresite was one of the lastavailable for parkland.

“All we want to do ishave a chunk of munici-pally-owned land in South

Delta to use for park,” hesaid.

Shields also talkedabout the site being largeenough to accommodatesuch future uses as curlingand ice skating facilities,playing fields, picnic andgarden areas, and possiblya community centre andswimming pool. He alsodescribed the site as hav-ing “unlimited potential”for whatever is wanted.

Winskill, who grewpotatoes for over 40 yearsat the property north of9th Avenue, said he waspleased the site would betransformed into a parkand that, “I’d be very dis-appointed if it wasn’t.”

There was no mention,though, that he sold thesite on the condition itwould be a park only, asShields at the time wasthe only one to proclaimit would be frozen fromother uses.

According to theCorporation of Delta, themaster plan, which isundergoing a consultationprocess, will review theexisting services offered togain an understanding ofhow the park would bestcontinue to serve the com-munity in the future.

“Once completed, theWinskill Park Master Planwill be a guiding docu-ment for the future of thesite, including prioritysetting for future projects.This document shouldinclude a conceptualdesign of the site and asequential implementa-tion plan,” a municipaldocument states.

The community’s directinvolvement in the mas-ter plan process, whichincludes more open hous-es commencing in earlyMay, will continue throughmid-June.

You’d better be carefulwhat you’re creating.

A concerned Mayor LoisJackson had that to sayabout the recent rulingby a federal court judgewho struck down federalregulations restricting therights of medical marijua-na patients to grow theirown cannabis, giving theLiberal government sixmonths to come up withnew rules.

Judge Michael Phelanin late February ruledthe regulations were aninfringement on charterrights, but he suspendeddeclaring they have noforce to give the govern-ment time to come upwith revised regulations.The federal governmentconfirmed it will notappeal the ruling.

The judge stressed hisruling does not legalize therecreational use of mari-juana.

Jackson said she’s con-cerned that if people areable to grow their own potin less controlled circum-stances, it could open thedoor to abuses and pos-sibly a return to the pro-liferation of indoor grow-ops. Looking at any kindof potential legalizationas part of the medical potreview would further com-plicate matters, she said.

“There’s so manyaspects of this possiblelegislation and we reallydon’t know what it’s goingto look like,” she said.

Jackson noted that inthe early 2000s Delta hadits hands full with large

indoor grow-ops, especial-ly in North Delta, where anestimated 200 to 300 werebelieved to have beenoperating at any one time.

An initiative with policecalled Operation Bud-Outwas launched to clean upneighbourhoods.

While Delta has triedto crack down on illegalgrow-ops, medical mari-juana also became a hotbutton issue a couple ofyears ago when new fed-eral rules changed howmedical marijuana isgrown and distributed inthis country. The regula-tions, which have nowbeen struck down, wereaimed at allowing larger-scale operations oversmaller, home-based ones.

In a pre-emptive move,Delta council passedregulations prohibiting

medical marijuana facili-ties in all zones, includ-ing agricultural, althoughthey would be consideredon a case-by-case basis.The idea was to keepany potential operationswithin industrial zonesand two applications wereapproved for those areas.

“We do not want itgrown on the agriculturallands and taking up agri-cultural land from foodproduction,” Jackson said.

“We have to be carefulwhat we create. I’m not ascientist, I’m not a doctor.We have to wait for legisla-tion first and we’ll haveto proceed from there. Ireally hope it’s going to besomething of a positivenature rather than creat-ing something we will betaking exception to,” sheadded.

A group of volunteershas come together toensure Lower Mainlandcancer patients will alwayshave a ride to and from anappointment.

The Volunteer CancerDrivers Society wasformed last month after

the Canadian CancerSociety stopped offering asimilar service last year.

Long-time volunteerJohnMacInnis said whenthe program shut downlast October, some of thevolunteers got togetherand decided to start offer-ing the service.

“We’re just filling avoid,” he said, adding 35volunteer drivers and 35volunteer dispatchers thatpreviously volunteeredwith the Canadian CancerSociety program havesigned on with the newservice.

“It’sjustincred-ible whatthey’vedoneand puttogether,”saidLadner’sDavidWilson, avolunteerdriver.

The service offers freedoor-to-door transporta-tion for cancer patientsin Delta, Surrey, Langley,White Rock, the Tri-Cities and North Shore.Vancouver is served by theFreemason Cancer Carprogram.

Wilson drove with theFreemason program for adecade before signing onwith the Canadian CancerSociety program a coupleyears before it was discon-tinued.

“The drivers are thelifeblood of this,” MacInnissaid, adding that volun-teers were excited to startthe new service.

The service is fairly sim-ple. Once a cancer patientknows the dates and timesof upcoming appoint-ments, they can call thedispatch line where theywill be asked for theirname, address and phonenumber, and the date andlocation of the appoint-ments. MacInnis said theservice asks for at least48 hours’ notice, but alsodoes its best to accommo-date last minute requests.

Within 24 hours, thedesignated driver will callthe patient to confirm theappointment and arrangea pick up time. The driverwill also call the patient

again 24 hours before theappointment to confirmthe ride.

Ladner’s SharonTownsend just startedusing the service and hasbeen impressed.

She received her cancerdiagnosis in Decemberand after having surgeryin January, she is sched-uled for radiation treat-ment that will take her toSurrey Memorial Hospitalweekly for more thanthree months. Townsenddoesn’t have a car any-more and was left tryingto find a way to get to her

appoint-ments.

She saidHandyDARTwas not asflexible asshe neededand shelooked atother ser-vices thatwere costly,charging

more than $50 each wayplus mileage. Townsendfound out about theVolunteer Cancer DriversSociety from the local pub-lic health nurse and whileshe has only used the ser-vice once so far, she wasimpressed.

“I feel that not charg-ing is wonderful but I feelthat people should make adonation,” she said.

MacInnis said the grouprelies entirely on dona-tions from the public tokeep the service going.

The group’s overheadcosts are low. There is nooffice, dispatch servicesare handled remotely anddrivers are given a smallstipend to help cover gascosts.

Delta council recentlyapproved giving the soci-ety a $5,000 grant and ischallenging other munici-palities to do the same.

For more informa-tion about the VolunteerCancer Drivers Society,or to schedule a ride, call604-515-5400 or visit www.volunteercancerdrivers.ca.

Donations can bemade through any CIBCbranch to account number3048810 transit number00720. Donations are alsoaccepted throught the B.C.Cancer Agency and theCanadian Cancer Society.

Iguess it was just a matter of timebefore another aspect of theLower Mainland’s real estateboom reached these parts.

Skyrocketing prices really tookhold here in 2015, pushing propertyvalues up by 30 per cent in a singleyear and lumping South Delta in withthe city and its closest suburbs whenit comes to an affordability crisis. Nowwe’ve seen the first instance of landassembly with the sale of a half dozenhomes along 57th Street in Ladner.

Anyone who drives into Vancouvervia Highway 99 has watched this prac-tice play out on Cambie and Oak streetsas long stretches of vacant houses sitforlornly while they await the wreckingball.

Developers have been acquiringproperties on which to build for aslong as there have been developers,so knocking down old to make way fornew is hardly a novel concept, but themarket-fueled actions of today are rais-ing a couple of issues that trouble manypeople.

What’s built through land assemblyis always higher density, which changesthe character of a neighbourhood, and,unlike a lot of previous redevelopment,the homes slated for demolition arestill very much of the habitable variety.Knocking down an old bungalow tomake way for a couple of significantlylarger homes has become so common-place such applications don’t even get asecond glance, but bulldozing perfectlygood houses to pave the way for condosor townhomes is definitely somethingnew.

I can’t blame a homeowner whofetches substantially more throughsuch an arrangement, as I suspect mostof us would do the same, but given thistype of approach can transform neigh-bourhoods, it begs for local governmentto get proactive.

The 57th Street properties are des-ignated single-family in Delta’s OfficialCommunity Plan, but you can bet thedeveloper didn’t pay millions to keep itthat way.

With our limited land supply and anaging housing stock that dates back tothe post-tunnel building boom of the1960s and ’70s, this won’t be the lastland assembly we’ll see, but a hodge-podge of such proposals doesn’t servethe community well.

It’s difficult to stem this rising realestate tide, but there is an ability toplan for it.

Assemblyrequired

I’ve had it. I’m on a cru-sade. My target? A word:probably. I want it to beeliminated from the Englishlanguage.

Maybe I’m just sensitive toit, but I’ve had a lot of peoplearound me use the word “prob-ably” lately, and it’s driving menuts. “I probably won’t get it,” “Iprobably won’t be able to do this,”“That probably won’t happen.”Arrgghhh! How will you knowuntil you try?

It started with a colleague atwork who wanted to take a pro-gram. I thought it was a greatidea, but he said, “I probablywon’t get accepted.” How will youknow unless you apply? What’sthe harm in applying and thendecide if you want to proceed?But he leaned back on probablyas an excuse to give up.

Since then, I’ve been hearingprobably everywhere, and as soonas people use the word, they areoften wrong. Probably is an opin-ion, it’s not a fact. There are manyexamples of living in the worldof opinions instead of facts, andthen we wonder why we get theresults we do.

Here’s a good example playingout in the U.S. “Trump probablywon’t get nominated to be theRepublican candidate for presi-dent.” Or, “At some point, Trumpwill probably say something tocollapse his campaign.” We’veseen how well that one is workingout.

I read an interesting publicopinion poll recently by theresearch firm Ipsos called ThePerils of Perception—What theWorld Gets Wrong. They surveyedpeople around the world on per-ceptions to see which countrywas more in tune with the factsabout their country.

A big one for Canada wasaround household wealth. Weoverestimated the wealth that thetop one per cent own by morethan double.

Our perception was they have55 per cent of household wealth.The actual number is 25 per cent— still a lot, but nowhere nearwhat we think it probably is. Whatdo we feel the top one per centshould own? Twenty-six per cent.Canada was the most accurate onthat one.

There were other measuresCanadians were off on as well.Population of immigrants (peoplenot born in Canada)? Perception

39 per cent, actual 21 per cent.Population overweight or obese?Perception 43 per cent, actual 56per cent.

I think this proves my point—my opinion is based on whatI think is probably the truth.Chances are I’m wrong. As some-one in marketing, I’ve proven itto myself over and over — everytime I think I know what peopleare thinking, I do some researchand find that’s not what they arethinking at all.

Probably is a dangerous word.It gives us an excuse to not trysomething, to believe somethingthat’s not true, to set a limit onourselves that holds us back fromsucceeding or making good deci-sions.

My colleague who thought heprobably wouldn’t get into hisprogram? He applied, and gotaccepted.

My poor kids are already get-ting the brunt of this. If they eversay probably around me, they areimmediately challenged. It seemsto be taking hold, though. If I caneliminate it from their vocabulary,I’m probably off to a good start.

Editor:Re: Mayor pitches

regional toll, March 18I fully agree with

Mayor Lois Jackson whenshe suggests that all majorcrossings be tolled inthe amount of $1 eachway. There is a cost to thegas used and the tempersthat are frayed when sit-ting in traffic so why notpay the measly $1 andexperience a smoothercommute?

Let us take advantageof those expensive, under-used tolled bridges that weas taxpayers are still pay-ing for, the bridges that arenow pretty well only used

by people with more cashat their disposal.

With that said, I don’tagree with Jackson whenshe is quoted as saying thenew bridge “will erase oneof the biggest traffic bottle-necks in the province.”

Construction of thisbridge is supposed to startin 2017 and not completeduntil 2022. As we speak,the real “Giant” is stirringand about to awake, longbefore 2022. That newbridge might well be adrop in the bucket when itopens.

Just in our small pocketof South Delta, there are674 dwelling units under

construction at the end ofFerry Road with an adja-cent tract of land waitingfor development of pos-sibly the same. Accordingto information on theTsawwassen treaty, “Therehave been news reportsthat potential housingwithin the TFN’s E1 zonewill include 4,844 singlefamily homes, 9,688 town-homes or 11,840 condo-miniums.” Construction isunderway.

In addition, there will betraffic coming/going fromthose mega malls that areabout to open, develop-ment of the Southlands,etc.

We are already seeingdevelopers buying upblocks of houses (57thStreet in Ladner is anexample) for “land assem-bly” and the future con-struction of greater densityin housing. (Keep in mind,too, there is one main roadout of Ladner, a road thathas been designated for“emergency vehicles only”in time of a disaster.)

To add icing to the cake,there will be five yearsof traffic disruption asthe new bridge is beingbuilt. Jackson, you are so,so wrong to use the worderase.

Editor:Re: Heritage supporter

shocked by proposal forDelta Lodge site, letter to

the editor, MarchD. Reynolds notes

that he/she “supportspreservation of our com-munity’s heritage.” Myhusband and I actu-ally own an old homeon Arthur Drive. It is anexpensive proposition tokeep up a 100-year-oldhome. Developing theDelta Lodge property ina sensitive way ensuresthe funds will be presentto maintain it far into thefuture.

If it is important tothe Corporation of Deltaand people of Delta tohave these homes, whichenrich the character ofour community, remainin our community, wehave to be willing toconsider developmentsthat propose to maintainthese residences, and adddensity in an area close to

the downtown core.I don’t understand the

author’s comment thatthe development wouldbe “out-of-character” forArthur Drive.

I am well aware thatArthur Drive is a desig-nated heritage conserva-tion area. However, thenumber of non-heritagehomes far outnumbersthe old homes on thestreet.

Arthur Drive has just asmany ranch style housesas it does ramblingCraftsman homes.

I think the corporationhas to be forward think-ing in its dual focus toprovide more, hopefullyaffordable, housing and“preserve and protect”our heritage.

As a resident of ArthurDrive, I have no reserva-tions about this develop-ment, and will be lettingthe Corporation of Deltaknow of my support.

Editor:Re: Investigation leads to

bust of fentanyl lab, March23

I can’t help but bedoubtful when it comesto the police’s claim thattheir recent fentanyl labbust “puts a huge dent”in the production of thisdeadly drug.

Howmany decisivevictories have we seen sofar in this unending battleagainst clandestine nar-cotic operations — quitea few it seems. But theyalways find more, oftenbigger, labs afterwards,which makes me question

if dent-putting actuallyoccurs.

So we busted fentanyl,we’ve also busted “bathsalts,” “molly” and count-less more substances theyseem to churn out everyyear. Plus classics arecoming back like heroin.I don’t doubt this mightsave some lives, but notenough to balance thelives lost.

As for drug produc-ers, they’ve realized (likeCapone and Luciano didin the 1920s and ’30s) therewards outweigh the risks— astronomically so.

Editor:This morning when I

went out to start my car at5:50 a.m., I saw two guysstealing the tires off myneighbour’s SUV. It wasdark and I didn’t see thefaces.

This was in Ladner on46B Street.

I went back inside

the house and got myhusband up. We bothwent back outside andthe police were there.Apparently the two guyswere in a stolen SUV.

Just a warning for eve-ryone to keep their eyesopen around their neigh-bourhood.

Editor:Early Good Friday

evening, immedi-ately upon returninghome from a run to theTsawwassen ferry termi-nal, I phoned the Deltapolice non-emergencynumber to a report adriver whom I’d seendriving so dangerously hehad to be hopped up on adrug, mentally ill or flee-ing from a crime.

Perhaps he’d stolen thecar he was driving.

The woman whoanswered at Deltapolice listened and thenastounded me with aquestion: “What ferryterminal?” She wasn’tkidding.

Even though I’d givenher all the details aboutthe location of the sceneI’d witnessed, she didn’tknow I was talking aboutthe Tsawwassen ferryterminal — and, shetold me, she didn’t knowwhere 52nd Street andHighway 17 are.

So, I asked to speak to aconstable. She informedme that I’d have to “gothrough” her to speak toone. I hung up in disgust.

Since when did ourpolice department startemploying people whodon’t know where majorDelta intersections arelet alone the name of thelocal B.C. ferry terminal?

Editor:In last Tuesday’s federal

budget, no immediateinfrastructure funding wasmentioned for Terminal 2at Roberts Bank. That’s thegood news.

The bad news is thatdespite 2015 being apoor year for containermovements, Port MetroVancouver is still oncourse to continue withthis project irrespectiveof poor global trade flowsand possible devastatingenvironmental effects on

feeding habitat for bothbirds and sea mammals.

Excellent reports by BobElner, adjunct professor atSimon Fraser University,and Otto Langer, a formerfederal fisheries habitatbiologist, appeared inrecent editions of TheVancouver Sun attestingto inherent environmentaldangers to this project.

Port Metro Vancouvercounters with its ownstudies stating detrimentaleffects would be minimal.The port really doesn’t

know the consequences ofthis project because it hasno comparable location tocompare it with.

With declining worldtrade, look no further thanRotterdam, Shanghai orSingapore ports to seewhat is happening, butwith additional capacity atPrince Rupert and locallyat Centerm, T2 is not justi-fied.

Delta does not want itand we will not even starton the loss of farmland.

Editor:Re: Better managementfor Fraser, March 21

There is no doubt thelower Fraser River needsa management plan thatencompasses all riverusers, from its headwatersto where it empties intothe sea.

The Fraser River EstuaryManagement Program wasjust that, but was removedby the Harper governmentand replaced with a sin-gle agency known as Port

Metro Vancouver, whichpretends to be the overallprotective agency when itssole mandate is to createmore industrial proper-ties and provide themwith deep sea channelsand docks by dredging theriver.

To do this withoutconsultation with FirstNations, Fisheries andOceans Canada, wildlifeorganizations or a hydro-logical and geologicalstudy model to determine

what affects this deepen-ing would have is wrong.

The salmon fisheryalone produces some $350million in benefits anda healthy river is valuedat $60 billion a year tothe people of the LowerMainland

The federal governmentmust step up to the plateand deliver what it prom-ised, a governing bodythat includes all of thoseinvolved.Douglas George Massey

There are some newcondos in Beach Groveand the residents are help-ing a group of elementaryschool students learn first-hand lessons about bugs.

Members of BeachGrove Elementary’sGarden Club, which isproving quite popular thisyear boasting 25 membersin kindergarten throughGrade 6, built bug condos.The initiative is helpingstudents learn about ben-eficial insects.

With help from parentvolunteers, the studentsconstructed the mini con-dos and filled them withdry reeds, maple bark,curls of alder bark andpine cones. The structuresare designed to provide a

safe haven for beneficialinsects, like ladybugs andlacewings, both of whichlike to dine on aphids.

Club founder Sue Earlessaid the idea startedlast summer when thestudents’ broad beansbecame infested withaphids. However, uponcloser inspection, shesaid, it was discovered thatladybug larva were takingcare of the problem.

“We decided we wantedto encourage these littlepredators by providingthem with suitable habitat,hence the bug condos,”she said.

The new condos com-plement the giant bughotel the students built inthe school parking lot.

I’d pick the laundryroom. Make that, the newlaundry room.

I could sleep there, eatthere, read and relax there.And yes, I could do mylaundry there.

A laundry room, as faras I’m concerned, is thecoolest, dreamiest, mostexotic place one couldever wish for. You can takeyour dining room with itsbuilt-in buffet and chinacabinet. I’ll take the place

with the washer and dryer.“Isn’t it AMAZING?” I

asked the husband whenthe new laundry room wasin place, outfitted withsparkling new appliancesand glistening new cabi-nets.

I’ve never had a laundryroombefore,butalwayspinedfor one— youknow, theway somepeoplepine fora sail-boat or aconvert-ible or alakefrontcottage.

Sure, it would be lovelyto chill on the deck of awaterfront getaway, wineand book at hand. Buthey, no reason why I can’tsip my chardonnay whileadmiring the ironingboard and detergent.

The husband surveyedthe space, and nodded.

“Yep,” he said. “Prettydarned amazing.”

I don’t know what thatsays of us, but I suspect itsuggests we’re domesticin the dullest of ways. Weare, let’s face it, the kindof people who also getpretty hyped up at the ideaof acquiring a fridge-stylefreezer or a new grate for

thefire-place.

Doweaspireto geta timeshare?Heck,no. Butman,whatwe’dgive fora leaf

blower or a power washer!A pantry with a LazySusan? Talk about livingthe dream!

And so it is with thelaundry room. It hasbrand-new paint andbrand-new counters andbrand-new flooring, and ifyou happen to drop by fora visit, don’t be surprisedif I offer to serve you teanext to the dryer. Honestly.

The other day, I was eveninclined to grab the mail-man and ask him in for alook-see, but then remem-bered he probably hadmore pressing things to

do. Like deliver letters, say.Doesn’t mean I can’t

spend much of my timethere, though. In a fewweeks, of course, the thrillwill ease somewhat, and

I won’t be as over-the-topin love.

For now, though, I’msmitten. Call me weird andboring, but I’m nuts aboutthe laundry.

Outfittedwith sparkling appliances and glistening cabinets, new space is absolutely amazing

LivingMattersBARBARAGUNN

A laundryroom, as far asI’m concerned,is the coolest,dreamiest,mostexotic place onecould everwishfor.
