24-hour protest to block coal shipments on rail route

‘Civil disobedience’ on track in W.R. Alex Browne Staff Reporter

They’ve asked to meet with government, they say, to no avail. Now members of the group British Columbians for Climate Action – who want the export of coal from B.C. phased out – are taking their message to the streets, or rather

rails, of White Rock. Peter Nix, of Maple Bay on Vancouver Island, who describes himself as a “retired scientist and Cowichan carbon buster,” said he and supporters intend to occupy the BNSF line close to White Rock pier for 24 hours starting at midnight Friday (May 4). The aim of their “peaceful civil disobedi-

ence,” he said, is to block U.S. coal trains from travelling to the bulk-coal terminal at Roberts Bank. Amtrak and BNSF are being informed of the protest, he said, and the aim of the group is not to disrupt passenger or freight traffic – only coal trains. “We like trains,” Nix told Peace Arch News

Tuesday. “They have less carbon emissions than other forms of transportation.” BNSF public affairs director Gus Melonas told PAN this week that the railway – including the Canadian operations centre – is well aware of the protest and BNSF police are developing a plan to meet it. see page A4

Outpouring of support

Hockey tragedy inspires Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Support is pouring in for a White Rock man who was paralyzed in a freak hockey mishap last month. Friends of Richard Morrison confirmed this week that about $30,000 – including donations ranging from 60 cents from a young Ontario girl to $10,000 from his employers at HandyDart – has been raised since word broke of the accident. “Lots of people are reaching out… across the country, in fact,” said Brent Silzer, a longtime friend of Morrison’s. “It’s just crazy the outpouring we’ve gotten.” Morrison, 47, has been in intensive care at Vancouver General Hospital since breaking his neck in two places during a morning drop-in game at Burnaby’s 8 Rinks on April 21. see page A4

Expectant mother whacks man with golf club

Sisters take on ‘armed’ robber and win Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

A 32-year-old expectant mother and her 19-year-old sister forced a would-be robber to flee emptyhanded when he tried to hold up a Peninsula convenience store Tuesday afternoon. The sisters – who asked that their names not be reported – were working in the store their parents operate in east White Rock when a tall, skinny man in a black hoodie entered the premises and told them they were being robbed and that he had a gun. They thought he was kidding.

Then he tried to drag the cash register off the counter, but the two sisters dragged it back. They say he kept insisting he had a gun but never showed a weapon. “He kind of seemed a little scared,” the younger sister said. Then, the married older sister – who is eight months pregnant with her second child – hit the suspect with a rolled-up movie poster. When that failed to make him leave, she picked up a golf club that was lying behind the counter and whacked the man on his shoulder. “I thought about hitting him in the

head, but I didn’t want to kill him.” Their mother, who was in the back of the store, followed the fleeing suspect on foot, phoning police, who made an arrest several blocks away. A 21-year-old Surrey man is facing a robbery-related charge. The sisters say police told them they should have simply handed over the money – and so have their family and friends. “You just don’t think at the moment,” the older sister said. Their father is away on a business trip. The sisters don’t plan to tell him Dan Ferguson photo what happened until he returns. Pregnant clerk fought back.

Port Kells’ history documented in booklet

TO SAVE

Look back at Surrey’s roots T

the freeway disappeared as the area was redeveloped. There are very few remnants of “old” Port Kells north of Highway 1. Two outstanding ones remain — St. Oswald’s Anglican Church at 190 Street and 96 Avenue, and the former Baron von Mackensen house at 192 Street and 96 Avenue,. The former “spy” house (Von Mackensen was convicted as a German spy during the First World War) is now a fine restaurant and pub, and has been lovingly restored. Kay Kells went to great effort to document which families lived on which properties, and the details she compiled about dayto-day life are an important part of the historical record. They are vital in understanding how Port Kells has been transformed over the years. No modern city like Surrey can truly be a complete community without an understanding of where it has come from. While few Surrey residents show much interest in their city’s past, thankfully there have been people like Kells who wanted to ensure that there was as complete an historical record as possible. The southern area of Port Kells, south of Highway 1, has been on the radar screen of both the city and developers for some time, and it will not retain its current rural feel forever. Thankfully, both current and future residents have the ability to find out how their unique community came about, and what it was like in earlier years.

news Surrey mayor hopes to draw investment to western heart of city, long in need of a facelift

Spanking, brand Newton neighbourhood Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The City of Surrey is co-ordinating a fullcourt-press for the redevelopment of Newton Town Centre, with its vortex at about 72 Avenue and King George Boulevard. It’s been two years since Surrey unveiled a bold new vision for the troubled area, but since then not much has happened by way of private development required to make the vision a reality. The plan called for rows of canopy tents to line Festival Street, which would lead south from Newton Wave Pool. The yet-to-be built street Main Street will stretch from what is now 137 Street (north of 72 Avenue) to a new bus exchange integrated with a new urban neighbourhood. Part of the newly completed concept is to have a walkable, pedestrian-friendly community created out of what is now primarily

home to the car. The southern anchor to the area includes a 3.2-hectare (eight-acre) green space to the south will provide an area for a detention pond, walking trails, a riparian area and a 1.3-hectare (three-acre) park. The challenge has been attracting investors to the area to help make it happen. The first significant development to be promised in the area came two years ago in the form of a casino. The proponents flipped the land after rezoning, but now the new owners are talking about something bigger and better than previously thought. And Mayor Dianne Watts is planning to launch civic initiatives to attract investment to the area. She has instructed the city’s Investment and Innovation Committee to explore how a Economic Investment Zone would work in Newton.

City of Surrey graphic

Festival Street in Newton is part of an vision unveiled two years ago. Three years ago, Watts announced similar zones in City Centre and Bridgeview. Under the scheme, business-related developments of $10 million or more received three years free of municipal property taxes and a reduction in development cost charges

and building permit fees. Residential developments of $50 million or more in those areas also got a break on DCCs and building permit fees. The committee will discuss what the required investments would need to be for a similar break in Newton. Watts said it’s high time something is done to attract some investment into Newton. “We’ve been limping along with Newton for quite some time,” Watts said. “And for me it’s very frustrating.” As to what the boundaries of the zone will be, Watts said that will be largely up to the committee, however, she believes it will stretch down to 64 Avenue and King George Boulevard to include the old Surrey Public Market, which is currently under redevelopment. The Investment and Innovation committee will be discussing the plans on May 24.

Fire and smoke damage to a White Rock apartment building should serve as a reminder of the need for insurance, says the building’s manager.

Many residents didn’t have insurance

Some won’t return home for months Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The majority of residents evacuated last week after an apartment fire in White Rock returned home Tuesday morning. But for some tenants of the Vinewood complex, at 14980 Vine Ave., the wait will be months. “The deal is we got most of the people back,” building manager Roger Jackson said. “There’s a few people that are going to be out longterm.” Firefighters were called to the 59-unit building around 6:30 a.m. April 26, after an explosion followed by flames as high as the building alerted residents to the trouble. “When I opened up my door, the smoke was so thick you couldn’t even see,” said Jasmin Bujak. While there was no damage to Bujak’s groundfloor suite – which she had moved into just a few weeks before – the days since have been “a

living nightmare,” she said, noting the fire was ants in other Porte-managed buildings nearby. Eleven Vinewood suites remain unsuitable for a lousy way to get to know her neighbours.

Family and friends of Kassandra Kaulius will hold a candlelight vigil in her memory Thursday night. The evening will mark one year since Kaulius, 22, was killed while heading home from a softball game in Cloverdale. On May 3, 2011, Kaulius was turning onto 152 Street at 64 Avenue, when a Ford Econoline van Kassandra Kaulius ran a red light victim while heading northbound on 152 Street and smashed into Kaulius’s car, killing her instantly. Natasha Leigh Warren, who police believe was driving the van, has been charged with dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, causing an accident resulting in death and failure to stop at an accident causing bodily harm. Kaulius’s father Victor said the vigil will give the community a chance to come out and remember his daughter in a meaningful way. The family has been managing as well as can be expected, but recent days have been difficult with the anniversary approaching and charges against Warren being approved. “The last two weeks, and I guess leading up to here, has been, I tell you, harder than the first couple of days,” he said. “We’ve found it really difficult, (with) the finality of it all.” The vigil will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday, at Sullivan Park, at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. The public is welcome, and attendees are encouraged to bring a candle.

In the days that followed, friends and teammates quickly rallied: a website (www.richardmorrisonfund.org) with daily updates on Morrison’s condition was created, including links for those wanting to donate to help his family or send a personal message; a trust account has been set up at CIBC; and fundraisers are being planned. Edna Craig, general manager of operations at MVT Canadian Bus that runs HandyDart, said she was thrilled to be able to share news of the $10,000 corporate donation. Craig worked with Morrison, a HandyDart driver, since 2005 and was devastated to hear what had happened. Craig is hopeful MVT’s contribution will inspire the company’s 600plus employees to also donate. Many already have, she noted. “We’re trying to sort of encourage even a small amount from every employee,” Craig said. “We’d like to do the absolute most that’s possible.” Morrison worked out of MVT’s Cloverdale base, driving clients – many

of them disabled – throughout the Langley and White Rock area. She said this is the first time she’s heard of anyone going from providing the service to needing it themselves. “I just hope we can be there and that every driver that picks up Richard will be as good and kind and considerate as Richard was a driver,” Craig said. Silzer said that while Morrison’s condition took a turn for the worse with the onset of pneumonia and fever, he showed improvement Monday. He remains on a respirator but was expected to start seeing friends at his bedside as early as Wednesday. Efforts to make people aware of the situation are happening “round-theclock,” Silzer said. Donations are coming from “hockey fans everywhere,” including some overseas, he said. Media attention has come from as far away as New York, and Silzer is hopeful his friend’s story may soon be shared on Hockey Night in Canada. “It just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” he said. “We’ve got so many people helping, offering to help. Richard has got so many good friends and everybody’s banding together.”

news Man sentenced after two attacks on women last spring

Public safety ‘paramount’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 23-year-old man who assaulted two women in their 50s in two separate attacks last spring is to spend another 41 months in jail. In handing down sentencing Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court, Judge James Jardine described the nature and circumstances of the assaults committed by Dardan Elbasani as both “serious and bizarre.” Protecting the public from Elbasani, who is deemed a high risk to re-offend, was “paramount” in determining the penalty, Jardine said. “He has attacked two strangers. The violence has escalated. There is no explanation for these stranger attacks. If he does not remain clean and sober, he becomes a danger to the community.” Elbasani was arrested in a Niagara Falls, Ont., casino last July, after police issued a public-safety alert in connection with a June 16 sexual assault in South Surrey’s Southmere Village Park. At the time of the attack, Elbasani was wanted for breaching conditions in connection with a May 14 assault on a woman that occurred in a washroom at Peace Arch Hospital – an assault he said occurred when he went to the hospital to seek help for “selfharming behaviour.” The victims’ identities are protected by a publication ban.

editorial

There are no easy answers hat’s a city to do? The City of White Rock has had an interesting dilemma of late – determining how best to deal with a homeless man whose living quarters had taken over a public bus shelter. Ryan Ashe is no stranger to a majority of the city’s residents, having lived on the streets of the seaside city for nearly two decades. He can often be found perched outside a business or on a bench along Johnston Road, rolling a cigarette and minding his own, his belongings tucked somewhere nearby, stuffed into a shopping cart and wrapped with a blue or brown tarp. And for the most part, his presence has caused no concern. Quite the opposite, many citizens will attest. Though not always lucid, Ashe is typically pleasant, offering smiles and conversation to anyone who shows an interest. Many tell of taking Ashe “under their wing”; bringing him coffee, meals and even a blanket at times. Over the years, he has set up camp throughout the city, from the waterfront to the town centre. He recently told Peace Arch News he hasn’t moved more than two blocks in the past 10 years – and he can’t understand why where he hunkers down now, day or night, matters to anyone but himself. In a way, Ashe has a point. Beyond occasional efforts to encourage him to seek shelter – which he has consistently shunned – and the odd citizen effort to better his situation, Ashe has largely been left to his own devices. It’s a situation he’s quite happy with. And the reality is, when someone doesn’t want help, it’s a difficult thing to offer with any marked degree of success. But when complaints that commuters were feeling intimidated by his setup at a bus shelter on Johnston Road near Thrift Avenue started to come in last month, city officials said they had no choice but to ask Ashe to move on. He had become a public health and safety issue, and a line had to be drawn. Unfortunately, this is a problem with no easy solution. Regardless of whether the city acts – and no matter how it does – its decision will be challenged. One wonders if anyone (other than Ryan Ashe himself, of course) feels there is an easy answer that will appeal to all.

that a new leader of a troubled party can still prevail on election day has to be a warm thought for the determinedly optimistic Clark, as is the fact that a further-to-the-right rival can be too extreme for voters, even in a province like Alberta, where an old joke has left-wing politicians protected by fish and game laws covering near-extinct species. The Alberta vote should also give Clark pause, however, because the Liberals under Clark have been shifting rightward, determined to outflank the Tories and differentiate themselves from both their predecessors within the party and the rival New Democrats led by Adrian Dix. As well, the results showing a third party can rise in the polls but fall short at the ballot box should be of some concern to Cummins’ BC Conservatives. It is important to remember there are significant differences in the political cultures of the two provinces, like the fact that in B.C. there has been a longstanding battle for power between the left and right, whereas in Alberta it’s been a fight between the right and even farther right. It is also hard to imagine the canny Cummins, a veteran of many political battles on the federal stage, tolerating the kind of “bozo” outbursts of questionable comments about gays and minorities by candidates that got the novice Wildrose leadership in trouble. Still, the Alberta outcome may explain why Clark continues to act as though she has a shot a winning the next B.C. election, despite all the apparent evidence to the contrary. Because she just might.

B.C. gambles Changes with with our youth smart meters Editor: Re: B.C. teachers roll dice with public support, April 26 editorial. It was only a little more than a year ago the B.C. government decided to cut the money from the BC Lottery Corporation for high school sports, coached and run by volunteers, many of them teachers. Now, volunteers had to not only continue to coach their school sports but also to raise money for the provincial competitions. News editors were not paying attention. After considerable lobbying by many groups, the government reinstated some of the lottery funding. The distribution of funding is still not clearly defined, understood or agreed upon. Did you see the signs in the casinos that suggested that by spending money, the patrons were supporting youth and school and community sport? Patrons actually believed that the provincial government was distributing funding on a pre-approved formula. What a joke! The lottery money was being used by the government in general revenue, and B.C. school sports were not a priority. Where were the editors when this issue was on the table? Suggesting that teachers are taking a “big gamble” by not participating in school sport coaching is correct but, it is only part of the picture. When this situation is resolved, can we expect editors will weigh all components of this picture before writing a hypocritical editorial. Arlene McGinn, White Rock Q The editorial, B.C. teachers roll dice with public support, was welcomed in that it keeps the ongoing dispute between teachers and the B.C. government in the spotlight. At the heart of the dispute is the so-called Education Improvement Act, which ironically was drafted without any consultation with the educational professionals of B.C. Whatever the stated goals of the Education Improvement Act may be, the effect of Bill 22 is to silence teachers, making it impossible for them to stand up for students in the face of educational policies made up by politicians, bureaucrats and special-interest lobby groups. Do not be fooled by the name of Bill 22: it will do little if anything to improve the quality of education. In fact, the government’s bewildering display of contempt for teachers embodied in the bill has done more to damage the chances for genuine dialogue about educational improvement in B.C. than any other government bill or policy in the past. Few teachers withdraw gladly from extracurricular activities or the duties outside of classroom which make schools joyful places in which to work and learn. Their reluctant decision to do so is because it is the only option left to them to keep the critical debate about public education in the public eye. Donald Fleming, White Rock

Editor: Re: Residents aim to take back the power, April 26. BC Hydro’s attempts to downplay, deny or obfuscate the number of times each day we will be pinged by smart-meter radiation seems like a page right out of a California utility’s marketing handbook. After over two years of stating that smart meters communicate 45 seconds per day, last year Pacific Gas & Electric Company was compelled to disclose that each smart meter actually transmits radiation up to 190,000 times daily. The utility’s PR focuses on the four to six times daily that energyusage information is transmitted, even though all the other pulses are necessary to keep the “mesh network” synced and repeating the signals from surrounding meters. Utility reports also focus on the total time rather than number of transmissions, since thousands of energy micro-bursts add up to just seconds of total transmission time. Though the signals are only milliseconds long, their peak

radiated power is extremely strong. Various research papers show evidence that brief, high-intensity spikes can be more destructive to health than sustained transmissions. R. J. Donnelly, Surrey Q I’d like to thank BC Hydro customers for their patience as we transition to a more modern electricity system. We’re replacing our old analog meters with new digital smart meters, which will have many benefits, such as faster power restoration when there’s an outage and new tools to help you manage your energy use. Over the past weeks, some have asked whether a higher bill might have been caused by a new smart meter. In the overwhelming number of inquiries we’ve determined that bills are consistent with past use. As is the case with any massproduced electronic device, there will be a small number of meters that have components that don’t work properly. Out of more than 1.1 million meters installed to date, there have been very few meters that have had problems. The vast majority of these errors were caught by system checks and did not affect customer bills. In future, when our smart grid is operational, we will detect many

problems on our grid automatically and fix them much faster. To learn more about the meters, visit bchydro.com/smartmeters Donna McGeachie, BC Hydro

Blackberries ‘rooted out’ Editor: We enjoy spending time at Crescent Beach as often as possible. Especially enjoyable is picking wild blackberries in the summer. But the blackberries are disappearing, sadly, and many of those left are in the dog compound! The goodness of fresh-picked blackberries is well known. It used to be a family outing, and what a natural way to teach children that not everything good for you needs to be expensive. In the effort to have only “native” plants, we are seeing that the natural wild berry is being “rooted out” and nothing is replacing their goodness. We hope more thought will be given to allowing this very valuable plant to live on in our neighbourhoods. Ruth Kozakewich, Surrey

Surrey revenues edge up Surrey is showing marginally better revenues in the first quarter of 2012 than expected, and departmental costs are down across the board. City of Surrey staff have tabled the financial report for the first quarter of this year, and it shows development growth is a bit higher than the same period last year. “Growth in areas such as Campbell Heights (business park),

Grandview Heights, as well as construction identified under the Build Surrey program will continue to bolster the city economy,” finance manager Vivienne Wilke wrote in a report to council last week. Commercial development is lower this quarter compared to the same period last year, with the bulk of development having occurred so far in City Cen-

tre and Guildford (a Wal-Mart expansion), and developments in Campbell Heights. Despite that drop, overall value of new construction is six per cent higher, due mostly to construction of multi-family dwellings. At the same time, costs of running the city in the first quarter is more than $800,000 below budget. - Kevin Diakiw

Ralph Volkens, from the Canadian Union of Public Employees, speaks at the City of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day of Mourning ceremony last Friday (April 28). Police, union and city officials, including Wayne Baldwin, gathered to mark the day.

City to remove excess logs Excess logs are to be removed from White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront this week. City officials said last week that the work will likely take place today (Thursday) and be focused near the white rock and the boat launch.

Removed logs will be ground up and sent to Fraser Richmond Soil and Fiber, the same composting facility where the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green-can waste is recycled. The city has approval for the work from the Fraser River Estuary Management Program; it is

being done to prevent problems caused when logs block drains or become a safety hazard. For more information about the removal, contact Paul Slack, manager of operations, at 604541-2187 or by email at pslack@ whiterockcity.ca

Local dentists continue efforts to improve dental care in impoverished nations

Brightening smiles a world away Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

team of dentists – including a trio from the Semiahmoo Peninsula – are in Vietnam continuing efforts to brighten the smiles of some of the country’s youngest residents. Ken Stones, Les Ennis and Lange Soo, along with dental hygienist Deborah McDonald and five others, left April 13 to work with East Meets West, an NGO that has a permanent dental clinic in Da Nang City. If the trip is anything like those Stones has participated in or organized in the past, by the time they return home the Semiahmoo Dental Outreach Team will have seen and treated hundreds of children, most of whom had never been to a dentist before. ❝It lets them Last November, during know just how a return trip to the incredibly Philippine island of fortunate we Siquijor, they saw more 700 patients over are… and how than an eight-day period.

Their patients’ gratitude is “overwhelming and humbling,” he added. Part of the thrill for Stones comes in seeing the impact the work has on those who are lending a hand for the first time. “For some of them, it changes their focus,” he said. “It lets them know just how incredibly fortunate we are… and how little people have in some other parts of the world. “You don’t need a couple of SUVs to be happy.” He added that of Richmond high school students who have participated in the past, four who hadn’t considered a career in dentistry before the trips are now pursuing it.

She continuously attends workshops on grief support, but says the richest experience was becoming a client of Hospice when her husband Peter died in 2003 and received the ﬁrst-hand support offered. I believe that Hospice volunteering is a true calling,” Dorothy B. Blandford Dorothy says.

Plant sale for grads A plant sale to raise funds for Earl Marriott Secondary’s dry grad event is set for May 12 in the South Surrey high school’s parking lot. From 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., those interested are invited to peruse and purchase hanging baskets, bedding plants, gently used pots and more. As well, manure will be up for grabs, and gardeners will be on-site to answer questions and offer gardening tips. Concession fare will also be available. Last year’s sale raised $4,450, and the hope is to at least match those funds this year. Earl Marriott is located at 15751 16 Ave.

Muffin Mornings may be a thing of the past at crowded Earl Marriott Secondary – thanks to the two-bell system for staggering use of the school – but the parents advisory council still has ways of boosting the morale of students and staff. Last Friday, the PAC staged its first-ever Hot Dog Barbecue Lunch at the school, providing some 2,000 hot dogs and 2,000 veggie dogs, plus soft drinks and fruit – all courtesy of the organization and local businesses – for approximately 1,900 junior and senior students and administration at the school. And, according to former Muffin Morning organizer Caroline Donnelly and PAC chair Sean Averill, who supervised the barbecue, the new event went off without a hitch, as students milled around tables set outside the school entrance, and listened to music provided by fellow Mariners Tommy Alto and Brett McCrady. It didn’t hurt that the sun broke through that morning as volunteers set out tables and supplies. “We knew it would be good – we consulted the Farmer’s Almanac for that,” said Donnelly, who has a daugher in Grade 12 and a son in Grade 8 at the school.

Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A 30-year-old Surrey man has been charged with fraud for allegedly taking part in a lottery scam targeting seniors. A 76-year-old Pittsburgh, Penn. man received a call from a person claiming to be from the Publisher’s Clearing House. The senior had won a prize, but had to send $4,500 in cash to a Richmond address to cover taxes of the winnings. The man sent the cash on Feb. 8, and was contacted again to send an additional $9,800, which he did. He realized he may have been duped when no one showed up to give him his prize at a pre-arranged meeting at the Pittsburgh airport. The man placed a call to Publisher’s Clearing House and was told that he had been the victim of a scam. Five days later, on Feb. 14, the man received a final call asking for another $9,800 to be couriered to a residential address on Kingsway in Vancouver. He called police and an investigation was launched. Surrey’s Richard Williams has been charged with theft over $5,000. Police are also investigating similar scams involving three other seniors in the U.S., as part of a larger operation in reaction to a spike in lottery scams in the Vancouver area.

lifestyles Rotary clubs raise funds for cause

Taking a hike for hospice Alex Browne Staff Reporter

It’s not just a fundraiser for a worthwhile cause – it’s also a friendly competition among Semiahmoo Peninsula Rotary clubs to see who can raise the most. Although this Sunday’s Hike 4 Hospice in Crescent Beach is presented by primary sponsor the Rotary Club of White Rock Millennium, it also includes participation by other area Rotarians. And White Rock South Surrey Hospice executive director Catherine Ferguson has issued a challenge to all the clubs through presidents Scott Phemister (White Rock Millennium), Kirk Mitchell (Rotary Club of Semiahmoo), Gord Querin (Peace Arch Rotary). This year’s Hike 4 Hospice takes place from 9 a.m. to 12 in Blackie Spit Park, on courses that begin in the park and run along the scenic Crescent Beach waterfront. Participants can register for a 1, 3 or 5 km route and

raise pledge donations from friends and family members. Funds raised will benefit programs that are offered free of charge to families by the society, now marking 30 years of serving the community. “Without support from the community, we would not be able to run our free programs that help people cope with the advanced illness, or loss, of a loved one,” Ferguson said. “We appreciate the support that the hike has received over the years.” Prizes for top fundraisers, as well as music and food, will be part of the familyfriendly event, which will be MCed by Shell Busey and will include a free hot-dog lunch sponsored by the White Rock Millennium club. Registration ($15 per person, $50 per family/ team) includes entry into prize draws and a Hike 4 Hospice hat. To pick up a pledge form, call 604-5317484 or visit www. whiterockhospice.org to register.

Professionals fessionals On The Peninsula

Dentures only considered for temporary use. Extensive bone loss experienced by denture wearers account for most of the issues. With increasing bone loss, often as soon as a year into complete tooth loss, the denture has to be made taller and more bulky in order to provide the required esthetics. This results in a movement of 10 mm or more in every direction. The net effect is a very unstable denture where food can slip under the surface and hurt the underlying gums. The movement causes further bone loss and the vicious cycle continues. In the upper jaw , the denture is made to cover the roof of the mouth. This is a way of achieving some degree of suction to retain the prosthesis but the wearer pays the price of having 70 % of his / her taste buds covered and the gum tissue is strangled all day long with very little oxygen exchange through it’s surface.

is often present but may go un-noticed. The result? Decreased confidence in function, speech and comfort. Poor nutrition due to inability to chew efficiently, Associated hypertension due to decreased sensitivity of taste buds leading to an increased intake of salt and spices. The fortunate thing is that we now have very simple solutions to correct all that. It is still a significant financial investment but far more affordable than perceived. The outcome is probably the most predictable and best value for the denture wearer.

New prices include reduced rates for seniors

Lowered rates, great golf at Peace Portal For more than 80 years, Peace Portal Golf Course has been providing a pleasurable golf experience for golfers of all levels. With old-growth trees and rolling fairways, the course has proved itself through the test of time. Although the yardage has remained virtually unchanged since it opened in 1928, the 6,400yard layout is still a challenge for all level of golfers. And now is the perfect time to do so. As the wet weather starts to subside, the staff at the 18-hole course have begun prepping for the high season and the inﬂux of golfers who are sure to take advantage of the new, low rates. “We have reduced our rates to make it more affordable for the average golfer,” said general manager, Rob Falk. “We have also introduced seniors rates for those over 60 years.” Any golfer who comes to play a few rounds will certainly enjoy the challenge of Peace Portal. The par 72 course’s ﬁrst nine holes provide a staunch test of endurance and the back nine holes prominently feature water. And while the course is often busy, it doesn’t host many large tournaments or shotgun starts, thus allowing members, as well as the

public, access to the course daily. One thing that hasn’t changed is the gorgeous park-like setting and the impeccable service offered by the knowledgeable and professional staff. “We have a very dedicated and loyal group of employees,” assistant general manager Kevin McAllister said. “With many having more than 20 years experience at Peace Portal.” And it’s not just the staff who draw people back. Another highlight is Peace Portal’s rich history which dates back to 1928. “Not many golf courses can say that they are 84 years old,” Falk said. “It’s deﬁnitely a point of pride for us.” For those unable to come in to book a time, there is another option. New to the course is their online booking, which allows people to book tee times 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The public is able to book weekdays seven days in advance and to book the weekend the preceeding Monday at 8 a.m. Online booking can be made at www.peaceportalgolf.com Reservations can be made by phoning the pro shop at 604-5384818.

Improve game at the smaller course

Hit the green at Par 3 Whether you’re new to the game of golf or a seasoned pro looking to sharpen your short game skills, Peace Portal Par 3 is the perfect choice. The nine-hole course, located in South Surrey is noted for its scenic beauty, carved into a setting of beautiful mature cedars. First opened in 1993, Par 3 takes the golfer up and down a gentle and scenic ridge, The second hole is the course’s signature, featuring an elevated tee box that sits on top of the ridge, with a lake to the right of the green, which is decorated with a fountain. According to Maxine Hamm, the course is a great venue for both the less experienced golfer and those who want to improve their beginners short games. “For beginners it’s wonderful, they don’t feel the stress or pressures of a big course to hit shots perfectly,” Hamm said. “Par 3 offers the opportunity to learn how to use their shorter clubs without feeling self-concious.” For those who are new to the game, Hamm suggests a trip to the driving range beforehand to practice swinging and getting the ball airborne, once that’s in order, a trip to Par 3 will help improve the game. “You’re able to hit on green and get a difference in yardage,” Hamm said. “You feel the positivity of repetition, rather

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Dance crew to participate in finals

Keeping it Freshh on Canada’s Got Talent Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

here’ll be plenty of cheering on the Peninsula – and around Metro Vancouver – when hip hop dance group Freshh returns to the Toronto stage of Citytv’s Canada’s Got Talent on May 13. That’s because the seven members of the Freshh crew – ranging in age from 13 to 17 – come from most of the areas in the region, including South Surrey, ably represented by 15-year-old Zac Vran. Vran, who’s competed in festivals with Spiral Dance for some seven years (he first began dancing there at the age of four), has many local friends and supporters. But these days his efforts are focused at Freshh headquarters, the Fresh Groove Studio of choreographer Cezar Tantoco in Richmond, where the team is training hard for the biggest show of its history. Canadian National Hip Hop Champions, and consistently high-ranked at the U.S. championships in Las Vegas (last year they were one of six groups out of 136 chosen for the event’s grand finale), Freshh are no strangers to the spotlight. But Vran has to admit that being chosen as one of two winning acts in their semifinal segment of Canada’s Got Talent on April 6 – as the popular choice of viewers – is in a category all its own. “It was a different feel from what we’re used to,” he acknowledged. “In dance competitions, the judges all have a dance background. With this, it’s all about the performance – we really have to focus on bringing the performance aspect of hip hop on stage and on TV.” While Freshh has been around for some years, the current crop of dancers has

been training together for the last three – from about the time Vran joined at the age of 12. “I originally saw Freshh at a dance competition, and

then I met a guy who was in the group at a commercial shoot,” Vran, who also acts, recalled. “Pretty much all of the original members are no

Vran will be performing with the six other members of dance crew, Freshh. longer there, but the core members have been in the group for five years.” The bond that develops while perfecting performance goes deeper than dance, Vran notes. “We actually have a brotherhood,” he said. “When you’re training five hours a day with people who each share the same interests, it’s hard not to become brothers – and with that comes trusting each

in other styles of dance, including contemporary, jazz, tap and stage. “The training in the other styles adds a certain flavour to the moves,” he said. Current training efforts for Freshh are focused on developing three slick 1½-minute routines featuring tricks that involve more than one person – attention-grabbers they’re betting will give them the edge over the 11 other competing acts. “We feel really comfortable going into the finals,” Vran said. “The judges really liked us, and we’re really, truly honoured that Canadian viewers voted for us.” Of course, there are always doubts going in, and in TV-land you never know quite what’s going on. Other finalists’ talents include everything from rapping to opera, Vran noted. “We’re up against some great talent – some unbelievable talent, and we wish all the best to all the other finalists.” While they’re excited about the possibility of winning $100,000, a Nissan GTR and a chance to perform at a Canada Day event in Toronto, Vran said other inside and outside the he and his teammates are studio.” also looking forward to the While the popular notion opportunity the win would of hip hop derives from give for a commercial ❝The training in the Freshh to style most travel across other styles adds a the country frequently seen in music videos, certain flavour to the performing the field actually at charity moves.❞ encompasses many and school Zac Vran different styles, events.

TIRED OF LOW RETURNS?

arts & entertainment Live music each month

Local acts to perform sets Alex Browne Arts Reporter

A new monthly Crescent Beach opportunity for live music will allow budding local acts to “take it to the next level” according to Randy Schultz, organizer and promoter of the event. Leader of well-known local dance band Mojo Zydeco, Schultz will produce a ticketed music evening at Sunflower Cafe on the last Friday of every month, starting June 15. Although the evenings will promote entertainers in earlier stages of developing their acts, performer for the launch will be popular singersongwriter Jason Mitchell. “He is a seasoned performer, of course,” Schultz said. “But I wanted to open the venue with someone who has a reputation established, and wanted to support the concept.” A limit of 50 tickets will be sold (at $7 each) for the one-headliner, 8-10 p.m. events, which will be promoted in advance. On those nights, patrons will be able to order from a special dinner menu and buy beer and wine for an additional cost, but admission will be limited to those with tickets, Schultz said.

While casual, it’s not an open-mic or a coffee house situation, he said – the Peninsula is already well-served with those opportunities. “They’re a neat thing to do for someone who’s developing his or her craft, who’s going to do three or four songs to see if they can pull that off – but there’s got to be a next level,” Schultz said. “This is for someone who says ‘I think I’m ready, or my little ensemble is ready, to play two solid sets.” An important part of reaching that stage is getting paid for your efforts, he added – noting the acts (limited to solos, duos or trios) will each receive $125. “It’s modest, but it’s something,” said Schultz, who will also provide the PA for voice and acoustic amplification. “One of the biggest things around here is that so many people are playing for free. There’s an assumption on the part of the public that we just do it because we love it. We do, but there’s a lot of investment in time and hard work and practice and equipment, and it’s time to have that supported.” For more information, contact Schultz at 604721-0872 or jcschultz@ shaw.ca

Local model Jessica Leigh Wozniak has a new opportunity to represent White Rock and Surrey, competing for a national title, Miss Canada Globe. “As a national finalist, I am excited to be representing my community,” she said. But she needs local sponsorships to help cover her expenses for participating in the pageant, which takes place in Toronto in August. Wozniak, 19, an Earl Marriott Secondary grad, made it to the top 20 out of 85 semi-finalists in last year’s International Top Model contest in Vancouver. In the finale of the contest at the River Rock Theatre in Richmond last June she was chosen ‘Most Photogenic’ of the competitors. “Since the ITM competition I have been extremely busy with photoshoots and runway shows,” said Wozniak, who is in her second year in Kwantlen Polytechnic University, pursuing a bachelor of arts degree with a major in criminology, A part-time server at Montana’s Cookhouse at Grandview Corners, Wozniak counts acting, musical theatre, snowboarding, wakeboarding and fastpitch softball among her interests. Promotional material for the Miss Canada Globe contest emphasizes a mission to promote multiculturalism and contribute to special events and non-profit fundraisers, as well as provide an opportunity for Canadian women to compete for a title “regardless of their height, size or creed.”’ Sponsorships will help cover Wozniak’s expenses including airfare and hotel room, food, hair, makeup and transportation, and sponsors will be provided with tax receipts.

â&#x20AC;Śon the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sandcastle Cup rugby tile won by Earl Marriott

Mariners make it four in a row Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

he Sandcastle Cup is staying put for another year. The Earl Marriott Mariners successfully defended the senior boys rugby title Tuesday, after a 67-7 drubbing of the crosstown rival Semiahmoo Totems at South Surrey Athletic Park. After a two-decade run in which the Totems won the annual highschool grudge match 19 times out of 20, the Mariners have now won the last four. But despite the lopsided result â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which has been the case in three of the four Marriott victories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EMS coach Adam Roberts is not taking the wins for granted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Semiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to keep working, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back at the top soon enough, we all know that,â&#x20AC;? said Roberts, a former Totems captain during the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run of Sandcastle victories in the late 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a bit of a streak right now, but Semi was on a really long streak before that, so we know how quickly things can change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still up 19 to five in this game, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still pretty far away from even coming close to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;? In front of hundreds of fans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom were more reserved than in yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; past but still painted in school colours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Mariners jumped on the Totems early, scoring a handful of tries in the opening minutes to open up a 19-0 lead midway through the first half. The Mariners tacked on two more majors before the first half clock expired, and entered the break up 33-0. The scoring line was much the same in the second half of the contest, with Marriott controlling much of the play, building up to a 58-0 lead. Early in the second, Semiahmoo had the chance to break through into

the endzone, but were stuffed by the EMS line on repeated attempts to push the ball across the line. The Totems finally broke the offensive goose egg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which, in Sandcastle Cup play, dated back to 2010 after a 28-0 shutout loss last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a late try, which was converted, to made the score 67-7. Though they won handily, Roberts said his group still had room for improvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never completely happy with everything,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for the first time all season, I thought our guys looked composed. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a couple big games this season where I thought we were a bit erratic, but we were better today. Still a few things to work on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still some mental mistakes out there.â&#x20AC;? Earl Marriott captain Quinton Willms led the victors with six converts and one try, which came via a long run in the second half. The Mariners, No. 4 in B.C. AAA rankings, entered Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tilt coming off a disappointing 23-22 loss to No. 2 Oak Bay last week, and the sting from that loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which Roberts called â&#x20AC;&#x153;guttingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helped spur the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack against the Totems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were pretty angry about that loss, because we thought we were a better team than Oak Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just killed ourselves with penalties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so we came in here and really wanted to have a better game, and we were able to take it to them,â&#x20AC;? said Marrriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nathan Muir. The fans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most of whom lined the slope just west of the pitch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also provided motivation, said another EMS player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people here who come out to watch, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the rankings, or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about how it works,â&#x20AC;? said Bobby Devaney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the provincial final to them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if we beat Oak Bay, they care if we beat Semiahmoo.â&#x20AC;?

sports Bayside rugby teams aiming for provincial titles Saturday

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to win some trophiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A pair of Bayside Sharks menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby teams have a chance for a B.C. sweepSaturday, when the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and second division sides each square off against the Vancouver Rowing Club in provincial finals. And while the Sharks may have lost home-field advantage due to a scheduling change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the games were moved from South Surrey to North Vanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Klahanie Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pat Kearney, head coach of both first and second division squads, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too concerned about location, just the final score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been nice to play at home, sure, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too worried about it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play anybody, anywhere, at any

time. Our guys will play in the parking lot, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care.â&#x20AC;? The Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Div. 1 team had a first-round playoff bye last week, by virtue of finishing first during the regular season; they actually tied the Rowers with a 7-2 record, but had the tie-breaker advantage. The two teams also split the season series 1-1. Baysideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-place showing also earned them the lone open spot in the premier league this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too happy about not making premier, so I expect theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come out looking to send a message to both (premier and first division) leagues,â&#x20AC;? he said. That said, Kearney is confident the Sharks will be able to draw on their regular-season experience, specifically a 50-26 win at Stan-

ley Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brockton Oval in late March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely played our best game of the season in that one,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Vancouver Rowing Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first division team advanced to finals after a 42-16 win over Seattle last weekend. In Div. 2, it was the Rowers with the firstround bye, with Bayside having to defeat Richmond 16-15 last Saturday to advance. The Div. 2 final is slated to begin at Klahanie Park at 1 p.m. Saturday, while the Div. 1 game begins at 3 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got relegated (from the premier league last fall), it was our goal to make it back to the premier league, which we did. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to put another checkmark on the list by finishing first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to win some trophies.â&#x20AC;?

One Day Miracle for Denture Sufferers! Are you not eating what you want to because of problems chewing with your dentures? Do they jump, shift, or tilt? Are you tired of replacing them all of the time? Are you sick of the unsanitary denture goo and adhesive you use to try and get them to stay put? Have you ever been told that you couldn’t have dental implants? If you said yes to any of these questions, then you are one of more than 40 million people across the country who live with the pain and suffering of removable dentures and partials. The good news is that there are new ways to solve the problems of being unable to bite or chew the food that you want to eat. You no longer have to resign yourself to a soft food diet permanently. Dr. Greg Nelson has a new procedure where no surgical incision is required through the gum tissue. This new modern miracle called ‘Mini Dental Implants’ give your teeth a secure and solid foundation, so you can chew the foods you like and improve your nutrition. They also help preserve the bone of the jaw and help keep you looking

younger. This is a tremendous advance even from just ﬁve years ago. This procedure is performed in a routine dental setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home and enjoy eating the same day. “If you would like a solution where you visit us in the morning and are able to comfortably eat and smile just a few hours later, then you are ready for the new techniques now available,” says Dr. Nelson. If your dentures just aren’t working for you anymore and you are ready for the convenience that this modern technique provides, then call Dr. Nelson today to schedule a COMPLIMENTARY initial consultation.

My mother died recently and never had conĂ&#x20AC;dence that I could handle money. Even though I am a registered nurse and am now a successful wife and mother, my mother made a will in which the share that I was given was parceled out over 25 years. The will says nothing about what would happen if I died before 25 years has expired. Who gets it if this happens?

You can get the whole amount now, so why wait? A comparatively simple application to the Supreme Court will result in an order in which you are entitled to get the whole amount immediately.

How Do You Find And Pre-qualify Buyers For A Home You Have Listed For Sale?

Buyers for homes I list come from a number of sources. Many come from referrals, either through my office or past clients. Some come from advertising, open houses and “For Sale” signs. But that’s not the only way buyers are exposed to a home listed for sale. As a member of Multiple Listing Service (MLS), I cooperate with over 3000 other agents. I have an agreement that any agent who brings a buyer to one of my listings will receive a share of the commission. This is an excellent incentive for them to show and sell your home. When prospective buyers come to me directly, I have to know if they’re qualified to afford your home. The last thing I want is to waste your time with buyers who are not qualified. Here is the key question I ask them when they call: How much home have they been prequalified or pre-approved to purchase? If they haven’t been pre-qualified, I require them to do so, and ask even more questions in the process: How much deposit do you have to put down on a home? Do you have a home you need to sell before you can buy another? When do you need to move? By screening potential buyers, I save time for both you and me, resulting in the most qualified, ready-to-buy buyers for your home.

WATSON Ellen Jane Watson left us suddenly on February 3rd, 2012. She will be deeply missed by her niece and grand-nephew (Jessie & Duncan of Oregon), by her many friends, and by the many people she has helped. Through her work as a leader in both the food and housing co-operative movements, a social worker, therapist, women’s advocate, and lately as a hospice volunteer, Ellen dedicated herself to promoting social justice. During her lifetime, Ellen drew sustenance and inspiration from beauty in nature and the arts. On March 8, the White Rock Hospice Society held a tea in her honour. A celebration of Ellen’s life will be held on May 27th beginning at Totem Housing Co-op, 2566 154th St., at 2:30pm and then moving to Peace Arch Park at 4:30pm. Those who wish to join us after 4:30pm at the Peace Arch Park can contact Dorothy beforehand at 604-531-6066 for directions. Donations may be made in Ellen’s name to a charity of your choice.

GVHBA to hold annual spring home renovation seminar

Mark your calendars for May 15 With about $7.8 billion expected to be spent on home renovation this year in B.C. alone, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its annual spring home renovation seminar on May 15 to give homeowners a few tips about hiring the best renovator. The event will take place from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Croation Cultural Centre. More than 40 RenoMark renovators and suppliers will be available before the seminar between 5:30 and 7:30 so homeowners can discuss their plans. To be accepted into the RenoMark program, contractors must adhere to a 10-condition code of conduct. “There is no shortage of fly-by-night

operators taking advantage of trusting homeowners,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Dealing in the cash-only underground economy exposes homeowners to personal liability and close scrutiny from municipal bylaw officials, provincial safety-compliance authorities and others.” Participants will learn about various stages of the renovation process, from design to choosing a contractor. The seminar is free and preregistration is required. Attendees are asked to bring something for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Register at gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

space to your home. Most units feature beautiful views, so you may have some trouble tearing yourself away from spending all your time outside taking in the scenery, including Mount Baker. There are three different interior schemes available: Craftsman Traditional, Casual Contemporary and Modern Chic. The two contemporary schemes include stone countertops, a sleek stainless-steel feature hood fan in

the kitchen and white satin flat panel upper cabinets and Teak or Wenge laminate flat panel lower cabinets, among other modern details. The traditional scheme switches things up with an architectural stove hood centrepiece with a custom Broan hood fan and classic Victorian cabinetry in a rich, dark wood, complemented by granite countertops. “Purchasers have the ability to pick and choose,” Carlsen says. “So far it’s been about 70-30 (per cent) towards the traditional.” Both schemes feature stainless-steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting and a spacious ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and ceramic tile surround. Every home includes in-suite laundry, so you’ll never need to worry about making time for getting a load in the wash. Woodbridge built on the lessons learned from their past project, Willow Grand, when they decided on what would be included in Salix. “It genuinely makes me excited that we covered a lot of the bases that purchasers were looking for,” Carlsen says. Among them is the increased storage space that each home at Salix has, including kitchen pantries and an individual secure storage locker in the parking area that Carlsen calls the “mini-garage.” The neighbourhood has been one of the big draws for buyers, Carlsen says. “We’re really close to everything Willowbrook (shopping centre) has to offer,” he notes. The surrounding neighbourhood is quiet and family friendly, with several schools, restaurants and leisure activities just minutes away. “This is an opportunity to own on the Clayton (Heights) hillside at Langley City prices,” Carlsen says. “It’s never been done before.” Salix opened for sale in mid-April, and already over 15 per cent of the 69 homes have been sold. “The response has been fantastic,” Carlsen says. “We’ve hit the mark with our storage lockers, options and price point.” For a limited time, buyers will be able to take advantage of some free incentives Woodbridge is offering, including a $2,000 kitchen upgrade, a $1,000 laundry upgrade, window screens and a security system. Early birds are also able to choose where their parking stall will be, along with their mini-garage. Homeowners should be able to take possession of their new homes in the fall of 2013. Homes start at $139,900. For more information, visit salixliving.com or call 604-530-0054.

‘It’s never been done before’

Plenty to love at Woodbridge’s Salix by Kerry Vital

Woodbridge Homes has hit it out of the park with their newest condominium development, Salix in Surrey’s rapidly growing neighbourhood of Clayton Heights. “There’s really something here for everybody,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “There’s a great selection of plans.” He’s not exaggerating. With 15 different floorplans in a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations from 474 to 1,283 square feet, you won’t have a problem finding your perfect home. The five-storey Georgian-inspired building features a red brick exterior, lush landscaping and classic iron work,

and every home features a patio or balcony. Oversize windows let natural light pour in while the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and bottom floors) add an incredible sense of

“

We’re really close to everything Willowbrook has to offer,” says Salix sales manager Rob Carlsen.

Salix offers two choices for your perfect kitchen. The modern contemporary scheme, top, includes stone countertops and a stainless-steel hood fan, while the traditional scheme, above, features granite countertops and dark wood cabinets.
