White Rock man arrested after chemicals seized from suite

Nuclear Response Unit joins search Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An anonymous tip about chemicals that may pose “a significant risk to public safety” led police to descend on a White Rock apartment building last week. Const. Janelle Shoihet confirmed Wednesday that local officers, along with members of the Explosive Disposal and Chemical/ Biological/Radiological/Nuclear Response

Unit, the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Services, Emergency Response Team and White Rock firefighters executed a search warrant in the 15100block of Prospect Avenue on Jan. 24, following a tip the day before. Chemicals seized have been sent to a lab for analysis. One man arrested at the scene remains in custody. Neighbours who contacted Peace Arch

News this week to enquire about the incident said they saw numerous police cars, a hazardous-materials truck and a bus. Prospect Avenue was blocked off by police, and restoration trucks were seen the following day. Shoihet told PAN that police “were anticipating the worst” when they entered the third-floor suite, and had the bus ready in case it was deemed necessary to evacuate. “We’re always going to deem it the highest

priority and take all precautions,” she said. “We’re going to call in all the forces that we need in order to make it as quick and efficient as possible.” While it was not necessary to evacuate, firefighters have deemed the suite uninhabitable, and it remains locked down, Shoihet said. Police returned to the building Tuesday evening after reports of someone inside the suite. › see page A4

IHIT exploring possible gang connection

Second attempt kills shooting victim Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The man killed in a Surrey homide this week was the target of an attempted murder in Coquitlam just over a year ago. Jaskaran Singh Sandhu’s body was found at 9:30 a.m. on Monday by pedestrians near a ditch in the 12300-block of Colebrook Road. “Mr. Sandhu was known to police and the victim of a targeted attack,” said Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Cpl. Adam

MacIntosh. “Investigators continue to search for the motive behind his killing, including the possibility of it being gang-related.” Sandhu was the target of a brazen daylight shooting in Coquitlam 15 months ago. In September 2011, Sandhu was standing near his black Nissan Altima in one of the oil change bays at a Mr. Lube location, when a man approached and began firing. The shooter fired approximately five times before jumping into a nearby vehicle and speeding off.

What’s your New Year’s resolution?

There was speculation at the time on whether that shooting was related to a high-profile gang shooting outside the Delta Grand hotel in Kelowna in August 2011. Monday’s killing was Surrey’s fifth murder this month. On Jan. 13 at 7 p.m., Manjot Dhillon was shot and killed near 168 Street and 76 Avenue. Later that night, John McGiveron and Geordie Carlow, both 33, were found shot to death in a › see page A4

Information sent to a constituent by the office of Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg this week gave a flicker of renewed hope to opponents of BC Hydro’s smart meters that individuals will be able to optout of the program. The constituent was told that those who didn’t consent to having a smart meter installed on their home “would not be forced.” Hogg, a BC Liberal MLA, told Peace Arch News he doesn’t feel the possibility of opting out of the smart-meter program has been “conveyed appropriately” to the public. Hogg’s office was flooded with calls Tuesday – including media requests for interviews – after the information was published online by anti-smart meter group Citizens for Safe Technology. Efforts by PAN to get confirmation from Energy Minister Rich Coleman have been unsuccessful. Hogg said Wednesday that he stands by the information sent out by his office, which he said was verified with Coleman’s office. › see page A5

Muffler site opponents ‘absolutely outraged’

Public-hearing decision angers residents Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Residents concerned with proposed amendments to a project planned for the former White Rock Muffler site will soon have a chance to voice those concerns. But council’s move to authorize a public hearing on the issue was not welcomed by area residents who had been heartened by a land-use committee decision earlier this month to recommend rejecting the amendment as written. Bob Berger said many neighbours of the proposed site – located at the base of Oxford Street – are “absolutely outraged at the lack of transparency.”

“It appears like a 180,” Berger said Monday of the vote. “What shifted all of a sudden?” In addition to authorizing the public hearing, council voted unanimously Jan. 28 (with Couns. Helen Fathers and Al Campbell absent) to give the application – which includes a request for additional height – first and second reading. At the Jan. 14 land-use meeting, the recommendation to reject, put forward by Fathers, carried with Couns. Larry Robinson and Louise Hutchinson opposed. The complex is one that has generated much concern among residents since it was first proposed.

After much discussion, it was approved more than a year ago, with plans at that time including a four-storey apartment building, two three-storey townhouse structures and a segment of two-storey townhouses over at-grade commercial units. The revisions coming to public hearing were requested in the fall, after Richmondbased LLW Holdings Ltd. took ownership of the site. They have been attributed in part to a miscalculation of the flood plain. Berger said many residents who attended a November public-information meeting were supportive of the plans until they realized after the fact that additional height and

square footage was also on the table. His biggest concern Monday was that no explanation was provided by council members who had an apparent change of heart. After the meeting, he put the question to Coun. Grant Meyer, who explained that the amendments requested weren’t clear at the land-use meeting. It “kind of went off the rails,” Meyer said of discussion that took place Jan. 14. While Berger said residents are feeling like council is “hell-bent” on seeing the project built, Meyers said his mind is not made up. The public hearing date has not been finalized, but is expected to take place toward the end of February.

Driver pinned by truck

Surrey man dies in ‘tragic accident’

A 52-year-old Surrey man died Sunday from injuries suffered when he became pinned between his truck and a tree. Police say the man was backing his GMC Sierra out of his driveway in the 6200-block of 132A Street when the tragedy occurred around 1:15 p.m. Preliminary investigation indicates the truck’s driver-side door was partially open at the time. Despite a neighbour’s efforts to revive the man, he was pronounced dead shortly after. The victim’s name has not been released. The death is the city’s first traffic fatality of 2013. Police say it is “a tragic reminder that such accidents can occur even in very close proximity to your own home.” Sarah Massah photo

Semiahmoo House programs shut down Wednesday

Social-service workers stage strike Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Employees at Semiahmoo House Society joined more than 3,400 community-living workers Wednesday for a one-day provincewide strike over wages. Starting at 7 a.m., staff from Semiahmoo House waved their yellow and blue flags in the rain while they picketed outside of their offices, at 15306 24 Ave., where they work with and support people with disabilities and their families. Community social-service workers with the BC Government Employees Union have been in negotiations with their employers – the Community Social Services Employers Association – for nearly a year without any monetary offer at the bargaining table, according to the union. The stalled negotiations are being attributed to the provincial government’s bargaining mandate of co-operative gains, which dictates

that all public-sector workers must find savings in their collective agreement to fund any wage increases. “It puts employers between a rock and a hard place and constrains them,” union communications officer Oliver Rohlfs said Tuesday. “Employers know we are challenged and the pay isn’t sufficient.” Semiahmoo House staff member Paul Christian echoed Rohlfs, adding that he hoped the job action would increase awareness on their situation. “We just needed to get it resolved. It would be nice if people find out about us and this situation. All we want is a fair and reasonable contract,” he said at Wednesday’s strike. “There’s a lot of really good people who work here and I think we need to be rewarded with a fair contract. “We know people appreciate the work we do here.”

While essential services, including residential, were still running at Semiahmoo House, co-executive director Doug Tennant noted Tuesday that nearly all other programs – including personal-development day programs and employment-training programs – were shut down. “I know that for our employees, this is a really difficult thing to do. They are very much here to support the people who are in programs here and it’s very hard for them to do this, as they obviously don’t like shutting down programs,” Tennant said. “Right now, we’re just hoping things get settled soon.” While the strike only lasted one day, Rohlfs said future action can’t be ruled out. “On $15 an hour, it’s hard to care for yourself and family, let alone someone else,” he said. “And it’s a pretty sad case when you can’t do the work you love to do because your own living situation is difficult.”

14 register as intervenors Thirteen individuals and the City of White Rock have asked for intervenor status regarding Epcor’s application to carry out nearly $12 million in upgrades to the city’s water system. Interested parties had until last Friday (Jan. 25) to register as intervenors with the Deputy Comptroller of Water Rights. Rick Couroux, secretary to the Comptroller of Water Rights, said by email that intervenors have until tomorrow (Feb. 1) to ask Epcor for additional information about the application. Customers were advised in December that the utility is seeking approval for a project that will increase chlorination of the city’s water, upgrade infrastructure and boost storage and pumping capacity. A decision is expected in early to mid-April. -Tracy Holmes

Neighbours not advised › from page A1 Area residents Ron and Mereda Preece said they were surprised details were not made public last week. The incident “took place for hours,” Ron Preece said Tuesday. “We’d like to know what’s going on in our neighbourhood.” Shoihet said the situation was not one that required immediate public notification. “If there had been a risk, you can

rest assured that we would have been on top of it,” she said. Sgt. Manly Burleigh described the incident as “a sensitive ongoing investigation.” A 34-year-old White Rock man has been charged with breach of probation in connection with the search and seizure, and remains in custody. Further charges are possible. Hamish Sutherland is to appear in court today (Thursday).

No ‘gang war’ label yet › from page A1 parkade near 128 Street and 94 Avenue. Police don’t believe that shooting was gang related. On Jan. 15, Manjinder Singh Hairan, 29, was fatally gunned down near 127 Street and 112B Avenue in Bridgeview. Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun was also shot. According to IHIT, the Hairan and Dhillon shootings were gang-related, with the victims believed to be associates of the Dhak-Dhure gang, which is allegedly involved in an ongoing conflict with the Red Scorpions, Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers. Some of the people shot recently in Surrey had been targets before, in what was believed to be retaliation for the Kelowna shooting of Red Scorpion Jonathan Bacon and Larry Amero of the White Rock Hells Angels. Bacon was killed and Amero injured. The gang task force issued a dire warning at the time of the Kelowna hit. “To date, intelligence and information indicates that tensions amongst rival gangs have increased exponen-

tially since the Kelowna shooting and it’s no longer a question of if retaliation will occur, but when,” the task force said in a release at the time. “The potential for a violent reprisal is not restricted to any one community, and can occur anywhere at anytime.” IHIT has said it’s too early to characterize the latest Surrey shootings as a gang war. Surrey Mounties say the killings are being conducted by people with no regard for human life. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy sent out a press release earlier this month saying those most at risk during these violent exchanges are the people involved in gangs and drugs. “This is not television – the harsh reality is being played out here and now and is a testament to the fact that the life expectancy of anyone involved in criminal gangs is very short,” Fordy said in the release. IHIT asks anyone with information about the shootings to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT(4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

Pair accused of killing pregnant woman in 2005

Dr. Marwa Salman

New murder trial begins Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Surrey RCMP Const. April Brooker was on general duty just after noon on Nov. 22, 2005 when she got the call to attend a home in Newton where a woman was reportedly found dead. As Brooker pulled up to the house on 72 Avenue near 143 Street, she saw a woman standing on the front lawn, who she remembers “appeared frantic.” The woman led Brooker and a fellow police officer through the garage area of the home, where she immediately saw a body on the ground. It was a female lying on her back near the threshold to the suite entrance, where the door was open. The deceased woman, it turned out, was 21-year-old Tasha Rossette, a single mom of a threeyear-old daughter, with another child on the way. The woman who found her identified herself as Rossette’s sister. Brooker was testifying in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday, the opening day of trial for Amjad Khan and Naim Saghir,

This is the second trial for the pair, having had their 2008 murder convictions overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal in 2011. In her opening arguments, prosecutor Donna Ballyk said Khan and Rossette had gone to school with one another several years earlier but had a more current sexual relationship. Rossette said Ballyk, was 17 weeks pregnant with Khan’s child. The prosecutor said the Crown’s lineup of witnesses will show that Khan wanted Rossette

killed because she refused to have an abortion. Tensions were high inside and outside the courtroom Monday morning as family and friends of Rossette and supporters of the two accused exchanged glares and harsh words. Khan and Saghir sat side-byside in the plexiglass prisoners’ box as they listened to openingday testimony. Khan wore a black sweater with a white dress shirt underneath, and gave a small smile and wave to people in the gallery. Saghir wore a dark suit jacket, his short, dark hair gelled. The trial continues.

“Your Smile, Our Passion”

Message not getting out: Hogg › from page A1 The information provided stated: “Individual home owners who had not yet had a smart meter installed on their home, would not have to have one. “BC Hydro may be contacting those ‘hold outs’ one last time and if you say ‘no’ and do not consent – that is the end of it. You will not be ‘forced’ into having one or be in fear of it being installed when you are not home.” Asked for clarification, Hogg referred to a news release and op-ed piece issued by Coleman.

“‘BC Hydro will not install a new meter without the homeowner’s consent’ – that’s the key message,” Hogg said. Acknowledging Coleman’s description of a process of addressing customers’ individual concerns as a prelude to final installation of smart meters, Hogg said he feels the message that an opt-out is possible is not getting out. “I don’t think that’s been conveyed appropriately,” he said. “I understand that people will not have any meters installed without

Some 85,000 remain to be replaced, according to figures released by Coleman. Citizens for Safe Technology and the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters estimate more than 250,000 B.C. homeowners have “resisted having these devices, many on the basis of health conditions which could be exacerbated by prolonged exposure to microwave radiation.”

Lost in the spin

ound and round it goes… The more politicians explain away the South Surrey casino saga, the more it sounds like some are spinning out of control. The four councillors who supported the casino – Tom Gill, Barinder Rasode, Linda Hepner and Barbara Steele – issued an open letter Friday backing their decision of a week before, after the city unexpectedly rejected a proposed entertainment complex on 168 Street. While the four offer sound argument based on economic desirability, they probably should have stopped there. They didn’t. They say the site was previously approved for casino use. It wasn’t. More alarmingly, in a line the councillors underlined, they say rejecting the licence “may be viewed as council ‘not acting reasonably or in good faith.” Does this not suggest that, to their minds, listening to 11 hours of publichearing testimony was just for show? That seems to be the view of deputy premier Rich Coleman, minister responsible for BC Lottery Corporation, who maintains “the hearing wasn’t actually a (land-use) public hearing, so there was no legal process around it.” BCLC’s directive was to hold a meeting in the form of a public hearing. In the minister’s mind, was it not to impact the decision? This is hardly Coleman’s most explosive revelation. Hours after council members’ 2 a.m. vote, the minister slammed them for wasting time and money, and he repeated claims the casino would have brought Surrey $6 million annually (the estimate is $3 million) and that the land was pre-zoned. Days later, after Peace Arch News revealed Coleman had called councillors between hearing sessions to advise that Surrey would receive no new BCLC projects if this one failed, his ministry sent out a release lauding council, as well as this Coleman nugget: “I am always open to discuss projects and answer questions for issues falling under my ministry, which is what I did in this case. That will not change.” Lost in his spin is that the councillors didn’t call him; Coleman called them. In fact, Gill had called BCLC for clarification and was surprised to receive a call from the minister himself. In a media scrum Monday, Premier Christy Clark, who now appears more available for photo-ops than interviews, had this to say about Coleman’s intervention: “He’s the minister responsible,” Clark said. “He got some questions and he answered the questions. I think it was as simple as that.” Ah, the simple solution. While the world spins. …and where its stops nobody knows.

spines on shelves, feeling the heft of a hardcover, and bookmarking my spot for later. A new study released by Scholastic on Jan. 14 helps. In the fourth edition of its Kids and Family Reading Report, 1,074 pairs of children age six to 17 and their parents were asked to share their views on reading in “the increasingly digital landscape.” Scholastic found that half of the children age nine to 17 said they would read more books for fun if they had greater access to ebooks, and one in four boys who has read an ebook said he now reads more books for fun (boys are typically more reluctant readers). The survey also found that the percentage of children who have read an ebook has almost doubled since 2010 (46% from 25%). Fifteen years from now, when I give Elise Ender’s Game, Dune and Adam’s Guide, I’m sure it will be via e-reader. But as long as she gives them a shot, who cares about the format. Besides, I’ll always have memories like the one from this past Sunday (Jan. 27, coincidentally, Family Literacy Day in B.C.). My husband set up a bear-shaped kids’ tent in our living room and Elise and I lay next to each other reading all the books we have about bears (and the occasional moose). I hope you and your family enjoy a rainy Sunday afternoon reading – on paper or e-reader – or listening to new or old favourites, too.

A community that cares Editor: As featured in an earlier edition of Peace Arch News (Crisis averted, Jan. 8), the Sources White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank experienced an overwhelming outpouring of community support this past holiday season, thanks to an appeal made previously in your paper (Food plight, Dec. 18). The donations exceeded the previous December’s and our expectations. Food and monetary gifts came from all segments of the community, and we would like to thank those who made it possible. Although this is not the venue to thank each by name, we would like to acknowledge some in particular. Thank you to all local schools, with an extra thank you to Earl Marriott Secondary. Thank you to all the faith communities, small businesses, financial institutions and restaurants, such as The Pantry. The grocery stores – Safeway’s “Food Bank Hamper,” Thrifty’s “Food for Families,” and Overwaitea Group – also deserve mention. A special thank you to the RCMP and their “12 Days of Christmas” initiative to fill a cruiser with food each day. Most importantly, we want to thank the individuals and families whose generosity made the many food drives and promotions so successful, enabling us to provide the necessary support to the members of our community who rely on our services. Jaye Murray, Sources White Rock/ South Surrey Food Bank

Many more good owners Editor: Re: Dog owners too inattentive, Jan. 24 letters. Over and over again, I see letters to the editor castigating dog owners. As a responsible dog owner, I am so tired of being taken to task for the actions of a mindless few who do not pick up after their pets. How do you penalize responsible dog owners by banning us from all public spaces because of the actions of a few? There are some irresponsible owners but, if you look around, you will see that they are in the minority. Please, once and for all, give us attentive dog owners a break. Dianna Williams, White Rock

Semiahmoo Secondary student Jordana Peters addresses Surrey council on the second of two overnight sessions.

First steps toward democracy Editor: Re: Casino project a bust, Jan. 22. Recently, I saw a poster of federal Liberal leadership contender Marc Garneau. Amongst the titles it placed on him – engineer, astronaut, member of Parliament, and Order of Canada – was the label “youth advocate.” This label, along with the idea of youth involvement, has been on the rise lately. They are ostensibly utilized by many politicians to please a concerned public. “Youth advocate” had joined the ranks of “statesman” and “activist” to mean “politicians with a heart.” Yet, although society seems passionate about youth involvement, this enthusiasm is shared little by the youth themselves. Despite constant calls, students remain stubbornly unresponsive to their society. Why is this so? Are youth too immersed in their made-up world of fantasy to care? I don’t think so. It is less that youth do not care but more that they do not know how to care. Once they have Gary Xie found a way to express themselves, the results can be momentous. Last month, I got involved with the anti-casino campaign and, together with my sister, created a Facebook group to rally fellow students to the cause. The results were incredible. In a week, hundreds began to fervently debate about the subject on the page and at school. It was like throwing a stone into a pool of still water, and the whole pool soon stirring with energy. At the recent public hearing in Surrey City Hall, despite being the last week before final exams, eight high school students showed up to protest the casino. Six stood firmly in front of council and demonstrated their passion for a better society. Each received thunderous applause from the whole room, not necessarily because the audience agreed, but because it was democracy at its finest. When the decision was finally made, it was a momentous victory. I was high-fived everywhere in the

hallway, and we could not believe we actually made a difference. This event has witnessed the rise of youth and demonstrated they are a force no longer negligible. More and more, politicians assume the role of “youth advocates,” yet, it is the youth themselves who must take a lead. It would be a shame to wait for them to take actions. A potential casino is not our community’s only problem. Youth should take a more active role in other issues as well. No one can deny that we are the future, and no one can ignore our voice on how to shape it. Gary Xie, Surrey n I would like to express how proud I am of the young high school students who felt strongly enough about their future to attend the public meetings and express their opinions regarding the casino project. If these students are the future of Surrey, we are in good hands. Dale Michaud, Surrey

Hearing without listening? Re: Anywhere-but-Surrey mandate, Jan. 24. BC Lottery Corporation president and CEO Michael Graydon was quoted: “I don’t know what changed at the last minute. Hopefully, some day Mayor Watts will take the time to articulate it to us so that we can move on and learn from the experience.” It is hard to believe that he cannot comprehend that during the public-hearing process it was very apparent the majority of the residents were not in favour of the project and that the public hearing changed everything. Our mayor and council are in their positions to serve their constituents, and that has never changed. Graydon also said opposition was “mild” compared to other proposals BCLC has championed. What a shame. After public hearings, which apparently made our marathon hearing look mild, elected officials in other jurisdictions discounted the wishes of their constituents. Why even have a hearing if you are not going to listen? Darlene Bowyer, Surrey

treats the attack “as if it was a bad dream.” The court heard Berkson was adopted as a baby and that his adoptive father was a compulsive gambler who physically abused him. Berkson was also sexually victimized between the ages of four and 12 by a neighbour, was using marijuana and cocaine by his teens and was convicted of a long string of property offences as a youth. His prior adult convictions include assault with a weapon, breaking and entering and possession for the purpose of trafficking. In 1993, he also pleaded guilty to sexual interference after touching a five-year-old boy in Surrey. A search of Berkson’s home after the 2010 arrest found four videos with child pornography. Bahen said that even with treatments, Berkson’s success may be limited and the “obstacles will be significant and onerous.” As part of his sentence for the 2010 assault, Berkson also has to provide a DNA sample, has a lifetime weapons ban, and his name will be added to the sexoffender registry. Any contact with the victim or witnesses of his latest offence is prohibited.

An RCMP officer examines a semi truck after a crash at 24 Avenue and 176 Street Wednesday morning.

Collision between semi and car at 24 Avenue and 176 Street

Two injured in serious crash Two people were transported to hospital with serious injuries Wednesday morning, following a crash at 24 Avenue and 176 Street. Police say the collision between a four-door sedan and a semi occurred around 7:45 a.m.

At the scene, damage to the semi’s front passenger side was visible. The car had significant damage to its passenger side. Impact of the collision sent it into a traffic light in the intersection’s northeast corner. The victims were taken to Royal

Columbian Hospital. Traffic was diverted around the intersection – 24 Avenue was closed between 168 and 180 Streets; 176 is closed north of 20 Avenue and south of 26 Avenue. Investigation is ongoing. - Tracy Holmes

Semiahmoo House Rec Rockers jam once a week, buiding confidence and friendships

Marching to the beat of one rockin’ drum Black Press

No one can say rock is dead – not after meeting the Rec Rockers. Guitarist Andrew Kison is one of this band of dedicated musicians who gather every Monday night for a unique jam session at Semiahmoo House. The Rush fan finds it easier each week as he accompanies the band’s old-school rock rhythms and modern favourites on his new axe. Sometimes he’ll show off fresh riffs, working high up on the fretboard. “The more you work on them the better you get,” says the 21-year-old. Alistair, a 23-year-old from South Surrey, borrowed a Semiahmoo House bass when he

started playing just over a year ago. Then he went out and bought his own. “I really like it a lot, I find it a blast,” he says. “I’ve learned Three Little Birds (Bob Marley), I’ve Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas) and What Makes You Beautiful (boy band One Direction).” Music therapist Katherine Graff has been guiding the Rec Rockers for the last four of their five years. “The more we do it, the more they get better at listening to each other and following non-verbal cues, which are really important social and communication goals for people with autism,” Graff says. Tonight, there are nine musicians packed into the Semiahmoo House rehearsal

room. There are four guitarists (most brought their own), and people on bass, drums, keyboards, an omnichord (an electronic harp), and a lead singer in

28-year-old Adele-fan Brenna Finch. The musicians, assisted by support workers Stella Lee, Braden Deans and Krystyl Downing

Lead singer Finch, exuding an impressive amount of confidence in an interview during a break, says the Rec Rockers help her continue the path of getting out of her shell. Looking like a rocker with his long hair, Isaac Vondy, 17, practises on his guitar at home “every day, non-stop.” While his taste is harderedged, leaning towards Metallica and Pantera, he’s happy to play more mainstream material with the Rec Rockers. “It’s really cool. They think

they’re rocking out, but they’re actually practising teamwork,” says Graff. “People with developmental disabilities such as autism often march to the beat of their own drum, but by playing music together, it brings them out of their shell and allows them to follow a common external stimuli and engage in an enjoyable social activity with others, which can be rare and difficult for them.” ••• The Rec Rockers jam each Monday from 6-8 p.m. at Semiahmoo House, 15306 24

Video contest to share their love of community Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The Peninsula Community Foundation is sounding the call for video submissions showing off what makes the South Surrey/White Rock area a great place to live. Headed by PCF director Nadia Hasan, the contest requires participants to send in a one- to two-minutelong video about their love of the community, which will be posted on the foundation’s Facebook page. People who visit the page can vote for their favourite video by clicking the “Like” button. “Rather than us simply telling residents why the Peninsula is such a great place to live, we thought we would have them tell us,” Hasan said.

One aspect of the contest that organizers hope will spur submissions is the grand prize of six private box tickets for the March 9 Maroon 5 concert, which was donated by Vancouver Canucks Alumni. “With the video aspect and the tickets, we hope we can encourage young people to be involved,” Hasan said. “We also wanted to leave it broad so people can show us anything from the simple act of riding a bike through a trail to showcasing youth philanthropy.” The videos will eventually be put together to create a patchwork of the community, Hasan added. The three videos with the most votes or “Likes” will be reviewed

Royally honoured A White Rock woman has been added to the list of Peninsula residents to receive the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal. Kathy Thornton was honoured among other recipients at the headquarters of World Vision Canada in Toronto on Jan. 27. Thornton, who survived a brain tumour, has been a volunteer with World Vision for seven years. The medal is being awarded to 60,000 Canadians to celebrate the queen’s 60-year reign.

just memorizers, we need to begin the experiential education pathway in the high school environment while continuing to strengthen it in the postsecondary system. Some of the most innovative schools – like High Tech High in San Diego – are building future leaders who work on innovative projects, such as writing books and creating multimedia projects, through team-based learning. At High Tech High, 99.5 per cent of students go to university. Programs like Junior Achievement encourage innovation in Canadian schools, but Canada is still waiting for its model of High Tech High. The recent creation of concepts like an Academy for Integrated Mathematics and Science is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to hone the creativity of our generation. According to some sources, a significant number of jobs that will exist by 2020 don’t even exist today. We can only prepare students for these mysterycareer pathways if we provide them with the necessary skills, instead of forcing them to memorize facts and dates. As philosopher John Dewey wrote: “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” Japreet Lehal writes monthly for Peace Arch News on youth issues.

DISPOSAL OF DEDICATED PARK LAND

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Section 94 of the Community Charter, SBC 2003, c. 26, as amended (“Community Charter”) that City Council seeks the approval of the electors in regard to “Surrey Park Closure By-law, 2013, No. 17792”. Section 27 (2) (b) of the Community Charter provides that a Council may, by by-law adopted with the approval of the electors, dispose of park land vested in a municipality by subdivision provided that the proceeds of the disposal are to be place to the credit of a park land acquisition reserve fund. TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Surrey has given three readings to “Surrey Park Closure By-law, 2013, No. 17792”.

The assent of the electors is being sought by way of alternate approval process. The number of electors in the City of Surrey to which the approval process applies is 261,505. City Council will proceed with this matter unless, by the deadline of 4:30 pm, March 11, 2013, at least 10% of the electors, or 26,151 electors, sign and submit an Elector Response Form. An elector may only sign an Elector Response Form if the person meets the qualifications to vote in a Local General Election in Surrey.

Because Metro is charged with regulating regional growth, Jackson and Watts said the regional district has a vested interest in trying to ensure land use and transportation policies are wellcoordinated and don’t work against each other.

Students and parents in the Cloverdale area are being warned about recent robberies involving students from Lord Tweedsmuir who were approached while walking home from school. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;upsetting incidentsâ&#x20AC;? prompted Lord Tweedsmuir principal Allan Buggie to issue a safety warning urging students to steer clear of shortcuts and to pay attention to surroundings.

Park the week before Christmas break. Three men brandishing a can of pepper spray or mace threatened students who were walking along the pathway that runs from past Greenaway pool to the parking lot on 60 Avenue. They were forced to hand over cellphones and other valuables. Then, two weeks ago, three or four young men robbed another group of students who were walking home through a public laneway north of the high school near 64 Avenue. None of the students were physically harmed.

tion president Rosemary Graham said graduating nurse practitioners have been frustrated by the lack of opportunity, but added she’s hopeful the profession will gradually prove their value and build a case for more funding. She said more reforms are needed to recognize and improve understanding in the medical community of how doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners can work together in collaborative teams. Funding for new nurse practitioners in Fraser Health is allocated for Burnaby (focus: refugees and new immigrants), the TriCities (frail elderly with chronic conditions), Eagle Ridge hospital (frail elderly), Maple Ridge/ Pitt Meadows (homeless, chronic mentally ill), Surrey-North Delta (two positions: marginalized substance users, urban aboriginals), Hope (frail elderly in care homes and First Nations), Langley (frail elderly in hospital and post-discharge), White Rock/South Surrey (homebound or hospitalized frail elderly) and Chilliwack (homebound frail elderly).

Map of Grandview Heights NCP Area #4 Study Area

The City of Surrey is holding a Public Open House on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 regarding a proposed Neighbourhood Concept Plan for Grandview Heights Area #4. The plan area is shown on the above map. The Open House will provide all interested parties with an opportunity to view and comment on a draft Preferred Land Use Plan for the area. On May 3, 2011, members of the public had an opportunity to consider three draft land use options for the area. The feedback received at the May 2011 Open House has been reviewed by the local Citizen’s Advisory Committee, City staff, and project consultants, and has guided the development of a draft Preferred Land Use Plan for the area.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Peninsula Productions’ latest show aims to provoke discussion

Agnes not a world of black and white Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

he conventional wisdom of community theatre is a “bums on seats” mantra calling for seasons of farces, mechanically plotted thrillers, or just about any of Norm Foster’s numerous, and largely interchangeable, chuckle-fests. But director Wendy Bollard (Waiting For The Parade, The Mousetrap) is betting that the White Rock/South Surrey livetheatre audience – while as fond of laughs and chills as any – is mature enough to welcome more challenging fare. Much more. That’s certainly the case with her latest project for Peninsula Productions, Agnes of God, which runs Feb. 28 ❝There are to March 9 at no bells and Coast Capital whistles with Playhouse. John this. It’s all Pielmeier’s about acting and telling the 1979 play examines a story.❞ struggle of Wendy Bollard wills over Sister Agnes, a director young novice nun (Becky Hachey), accused of murdering her newborn baby. Her Mother Superior, Miriam Ruth (Nancy Ebert), is convinced Agnes is an innocent embodying the will of God, while a courtappointed psychiatrist, Dr. Martha Livingstone (Laine Henderson), believes the case conceals ugly secrets that need to be uncovered. While not lightweight material by any means, Bollard feels Agnes of God is also the stuff of riveting theatre. There’s plenty of excitement, she said, in watching the combined skills of a handful of accomplished players generate sparks that can keep an audience right on the edge of their seats. “There are no bells and whistles with this,” Bollard said. “It’s all about acting and telling the story.” She said she’s pleased with the chemistry of her three-woman cast,

Contributed photo

Becky Hachey as Sister Agnes, a young novice nun accused of murdering her newborn baby in Agnes of God. handpicked from an encouragingly large group of talented actresses who came out to audition last fall. “Becky is doing great work. She has a beautiful singing voice, which is integral to the role. (The audience) has to fall in love with Agnes, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense. “Laine has only done one play (last year’s Peninsula Productions

presentation of The Mousetrap) but she’s excellent, especially when she goes with her instincts. “I’d never met Nancy before, but I remembered seeing her in (White Rock Players’) Ladies of the Camellias. When she showed up to audition, I was very pleased.” Although it’s more than 30 years old – with a 1985 feature film version – Bollard thinks Agnes of

God has aged well. “I think it’s even more relevant, if anything, than when it was first written, with everything going on with science and religion today,” she said. The play is all about questioning belief systems, but not necessarily demolishing them, she said. And it’s not only religious faith that’s being scrutinized under the

microscope. “Dr. Livingstone goes back to questioning her beliefs, too,” she said. “She’d stopped questioning – science had become a religion for her.” “I think it’s interesting that both of these women have projected onto Agnes what they think they believe – it’s something that happens to women a lot. They’re using her to fulfill their own sense of need. But this poor girl who has been treated badly, and had all these bad things happen – nobody looks out for her.” Pielmeier’s canvas is composed of a whole range of greys, she agreed, not just simple black-and-white absolutes. “It’s so well-written,” she said, adding that she remembers playing the role of Agnes herself in her early 20s, in a production by Delta’s Act One Players that was part of the B.C. Festival of the Arts. “As I reread it now, I realize that I had no idea what the play was about at that point,” she admits, with a certain amount of chagrin. In its time, Bollard said, strong themes have caused Agnes of God to be denounced from pulpits and productions have even been the subject of bomb threats. Production partner Geoff Giffin received an email from a friend reminding him that in Michigan, as recently as 1985, a local parish priest told the congregation that attending a local production of the play would constitute committing a sin. She’s not expecting as extreme a reaction for her production, but she’s not shying away from controversy either. “There are a lot of feminist undertones in the play as well,” she said. “I hope people come out of the play wanting to talk about it and debate it. I’d love that to happen, because I’ll learn as well. I’ll fight my corner, but I’ll learn from it. “Debate is good – if people are passionate about the play, I say bring it on.”

Tara Moran, 15, auditions at the Newton Cultural Centre with the White Rock-based Spiral Apprentice Dancers for Surrey Shines 2013, which takes place Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre. For tickets, visit http://tickets.surrey.ca

A special version of White Rock council’s regular meeting Monday night will have a strong arts focus – including the presence of such wellknown figures on the Peninsula arts scene as painter/muralist Elizabeth Hollick, painter and arts advocate Chris MacClure (originator of International Artist’s Day), bassoonist and impresario George Zukerman and members of the award-winning Spiral Dance studio. The meeting, which starts at 7 p.m., will be held at White Rock Community Centre rather than at city hall. City media liaison Jamie Leggatt said a planned hour-long opening segment of the agenda is part of council’s re-affirmation of White Rock as an arts community, and likely a first for the city. “The presentation is to acknowledge and celebrate local artists and their contribution to the White Rock community,” Leggatt said. “Mayor Wayne Baldwin will be introducing each of the artists and some of

them are bringing work along for display,” she added, noting the meeting will be adjourned before the resumption of regular business. Those confirmed to attend also include sculptor Don Hutchinson (husband of Coun. Louise Hutchinson), painter Serge Dubé, painter and collagist Sheila Symington, painter and multi-media artist Jim Adams, painter Deborah Putman, noted tenor and anthem singer Mark Donnelly, who will open the presentation, and Dave Baron, president of White Rock Players Club. Leggatt said invitations had gone out to many high-profile arts figures who live in the city or have had connections with it in the past. Others, including musicians Ra McGuire, Randy Bachman and Jodi Proznick, and sculptor Robert Davidson, had not confirmed attendance at press time. Leggatt added that other arts-oriented events are planned for the rest of the year, including a citysponsored International Artist’s Day festival scheduled for Oct. 21-27.

The Kwantlen Eagles have put a little more distance between themselves and seventh place, moving a game closer to clinching a berth in the PACWEST women’s basketball playoffs. The Eagles defeated the Camosun Chargers of Victoria Friday night, but lost Saturday afternoon to the Vancouver Island Mariners. Both games were at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Now at 8-7 on the season with six games to play, the Eagles are in fifth place in the eight-team league. Six teams advance to the playoffs, and Kwantlen is four games in front of the 4-11 Langara Falcons. Friday’s win over a 6-9 Chargers team was the result of a secondhalf comeback which erased a 38-19 Camosun lead. The Eagles outscored their opponent 34-10 in the second half for a 53-48 victory. Centre Samantha McPhail led the Eagles with 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while first-year forward Amber Kavanagh added 12 points and eight rebounds. Also scoring in double digits was Jessica Villadiego with 11 points. Playing for a share of third place with the Mariners Saturday, Kwantlen had an edge in most

NEW MEMBERS WELCOME!

Phil Jonas needed a strong round Wednesday in Portugal if he hoped to qualify for the European Senior Golf Tour. After three rounds at the second stage of the senior tour qualifying school, Jonas, a 51-year-old Cloverdale teaching pro who works out of Hazelmere Golf Course as well as Richmond’s McCleery course, was in a logjam for 17th place, one shot back of the top 14 golfers. The top six finishers at the 72-golfer, four-round Q-school event earned exempt status for the 2013 season, while finishers sixth though 14th received conditional status. Jonas advanced to the second stage of qualifying after finishing inside the top 30 at the first stage, which was held in Portugal Jan. 24-25. In Round 2, Jonas carded scores of 73, 70 and 71 on the par-71, 6,553yard Pinta Course at Pestana Golf Resort on Portugal’s Algarve coast. Results from the fourth round were not available by press deadline. Jonas decided to give the European Senior Tour another shot after an impressive turn at last summer’s Senior British Open in Turnberry Golf Course in Scotland. During the first round of Q-school

First provincial trip in 15 years

Curlers to take on best in B.C.

For the first time in 15 years, Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary will represent the Lower Fraser Valley in Kamloops at the B.C. High School Curling Championships. The Tweedsmuir Panthers boys curling team will head to Kamloops Feb. 28 for the 2013 event. Lord Tweedsmuir last qualified for the provincial high school curling championships in 1996/97. The Panthers beat five other schools during zone playdowns earlier this month at Tsawwassen’s Tunnel Town Curling Club, besting two rinks from South Delta Secondary (with scores of 10-3 and 7-4, respectively) before defeating Richmond’s McMath Secondary (8-3), Seaquam Secondary (13-1) and Delta Secondary (13-2). The Lord Tweedsmuir curling team – Tyler and Jordan Tardi, and Rhett and Brad Hildenbrandt, and coach Paul Tardi – set a record and qualified for the provincials in the process by going a perfect 5-0 in roundrobin play. A fifth Tweedsmuir curling teammate, Liam Purgavie, was unable to play in Tsawwassen but will join the team in Kamloops the provincials. It was the first time the Cloverdale foursome has played together in two years; they debuted as a team in 2011 at the International Children’s Winter Games in Kelowna. - Jennifer Lang

Move-in ready homes in Coquitlam

Finding a perfect view at Polygon’s Tamarack By Kerry Vital

Polygon Homes is building on its reputation for quality homes with Tamarack, its newest condominum development in Coquitlam’s Dayanee Springs community. With amazing features, a convenient location and plenty of amenities, it’s easy to imagine calling Tamarack home. “It is literally almost impossible to choose my favourite part,” says sales manager Theresa Liljedahl says. “There are so many perfect things about it.” One of those perfect things is the amazing natural views from every home. Depending on where you are in the building, your new home will either look out at Mount Baker or at Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain. “The views are fantastic,” Liljedahl says. Each home features an outdoor balcony or patio, with some groundlevel homes including a private yard. Even when the weather outside isn’t so great, the huge windows in your home will let the natural light pour in. Inside, polished granite countertops and flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the kitchen is complemented by the stainless-steel appliances and warm wood laminate flooring, which continues into the other living areas. A full-height pantry is offered in some homes, which adds more storage space to a kitchen that is already wonderful. A breakfast bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or gathering around during a dinner party is also an integral part of most of the homes. The luxury continues in the spa-like bathrooms, with their gorgeous marble or quartz countertops and laminate cabinetry. Most homes include double sinks, which are a masterstroke of convenience for couples, and a deep soaker tub in the ensuite. A ceramic tile tub and shower surround with mosaic glass tile accents is clean and elegant, while the full-width vanity mirror is complemented by soothing lighting that will never put you in a bad light. The two-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with thoughtfully designed floorplans that are great for couples, young families and roommates. “Polygon can design a layout that is very attractive,” Lilejedahl says. “They’ve perfected the plans to give you the most usable space.” Tamarack is the final phase in Polygon’s Dayanee Springs community, and homeowners will be able to take

The club includes an outdoor pool, whirlpool spa and kids club, a furnished terrace with a large barbecue, a fully equipped fitness studio and a great room that is perfect for entertaining with its stone-clad fireplace, lounge seating and billiard table. It also holds a pet spa area, screening room and many other things. “We’ve had weddings there, bridal showers, everything,” says Liljehdahl. “You don’t have to entertain at home if you have a group of people over.” If you want to venture off the property, shopping and dining at Coquitlam Centre mall and its

ou’ve met the love of your life, fallen head-over-heels and you know you’re going to spend the rest of your days together. Now comes the exciting (albeit stressful) part – planning your wedding. From plotting out your budget to putting the finishing touches on your decor theme, there is no shortage of options when it comes to planning the perfect nuptials. Luckily there are plenty of experts here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula who can help make your big day one you’ll cherish forever – and we’ve enlisted the help of some local businesses who share their thoughts on the most sought-after wedding trends for 2013.

Rings They may be the smallest element of your wedding physically, but they’ll likely hold the most significance as you carry on your lives together – engagement rings and wedding bands are a huge decision to be made. Whether you’re looking for something unique or traditional, there are a range of options to ensure you find exactly the ring you want. One of the hottest trends in engagement rings over the past year or so, according to José Latchinian of José & Co. Custom Jewellers, is the use of large, elegant coloured stones, as opposed to the traditional diamond. This is a particularly popular choice for the younger generation, Latchinian notes, and the result is a piece of jewelry that is both unique and stunning, but also a bit more affordable. “It creates something that is different from your parents’ generation, and makes it so much more personalized,” he said, noting that you can often get a much larger stone – in anything from ruby, emerald, tanzanite, alexandrite and more. “These are just gorgeous stones that can make a huge difference, really set them apart from other rings.” When it comes to choosing a metal, Latchinian notes that white gold is still a very popular choice, however, many customers are unaware of an issue that can arise when using white gold. With 14-karat or 18-karat pieces, a process called rhodium plating needs to be done in order to reduce the slight yellow hue that appears – a process that needs to be done every year or so. With a 19-karat ring, however, the metal retains its white colour, and although it may cost slightly more at the onset, the customer won’t need to bring it in for regular plating. Specializing in custom design, Latchinian said he and his team at José & Co. have “yet to be stumped” by the unique requests

The new way of finding happily ever after A

A chance encounter online leads to whirlwind romance for Peninsula newlyweds

s a single mother of four girls, South Surrey’s Lise Houweling didn’t have high hopes for finding the man of her dreams. After a painful divorce in 2010, and a year spent healing, Lise – who owns the Roadhouse Restaurant and Roadhouse Bake Shoppe with her family – slowly began dating at the end of 2011. She quickly realized with four daughters between the ages of 10 to 18, meeting a prospective partner was going to be tricky. “It was really hard for me, because I wanted to be protective of (my daughters),” Lise, 38, said. “I thought, ‘how am I going to meet anybody?’” She decided to give online dating a try, thinking it would allow her to weed out some of the less-desirable suitors before even meeting them in person. Little did she know where signing up for ChristianMingle.com would lead her less than a year later. For Paul Houweling, the decision to try online dating came down to simple logistics. “There wasn’t a lot of single women around my age that were also looking,” the 41-year-old said. “I was looking for someone that I could relate to, with a similar upbringing in church.” Paul recalled hearing his friends and family over the years tell stories of meeting “the one,” and describing how something just clicked. Having never experienced that himself, he wasn’t convinced it would happen to him.

Lise and Paul Houweling celebrated their wedding Dec. 30, with Lise’s four daughters acting as her bridesmaids (inset). “I always thought I was going to kind of settle, to learn to love somebody.” All that changed when Paul came across Lise’s profile online. He sent her a ‘smile’ – a subtle acknowledgement that her profile caught his eye – and she sent one back. That’s when Paul decided to lay it on the line. “I sent her a message that blatantly

put it all out there – where I’ve been, where I’m going, where I want to be – I thought instead of being vague, I’ll be straight up,” he explained. For Lise, the honesty he conveyed was a welcome change from what she’d experienced in the past. After exchanging some messages, the two met for coffee in June of last year. What started as a quick coffee meeting turned into a nearly six-hour dinner date, and both quickly knew they had found something special. “Within the first five minutes, I felt like I had known him my entire life,” Lise said. “He felt like family – he felt familiar and safe.” After a few weeks, Lise met several members of Paul’s large family – he is one of seven children and has 26 nieces and nephews. She said seeing how well-loved and respected he is by his family was another sign that he was not like other men she had met. Despite her feelings, however, Lise said she still had reservations about putting her heart out there completely, as Paul had yet to meet her daughters. “They’ve been through a lot, and they’re very protective over me,” she said. “I thought, ‘if they don’t like him, and he doesn’t like them, it’s over.’” As it turned out, her fears were

unfounded – Paul’s experience with his many nieces prepared him perfectly for Lise’s brood. Even when her household was at its craziest – a setting Lise was sure would send Paul packing – it only strengthened his resolve that he wanted to be a part of Lise’s family. “I never looked at it as being a problem,” Paul said of meeting a women with four daughters. “I actually thought maybe I could be a gift, maybe show them what a good man can be, that there are good men out there.” It wasn’t long before Paul popped the question – not before asking permission of Lise’s parents, however – and the two were married Dec. 30 in a local ceremony, with Lise’s four daughters as her bridesmaids. What they had planned to be a fairly small celebration ended up being a party of 130 people, as many of Paul’s relatives flew in from all over the world to witness their big day. It’s a fairytale ending Lise never thought she would have. “I had no idea that going online last spring would lead me to being married now – I never thought I’d ever get married again,” she said. “He has smashed my ‘nevers’ into a thousand wonderful pieces.”

he weeks and months leading up to a couple’s wedding day are often filled with anticipation, excitement and stress. And when the big day finally arrives, many couples will tell you it is over in what seems like a blink of an eye. But just because you’ve had your last dance doesn’t mean the fun is over just yet – for many newlyweds, the honeymoon can be even more enjoyable than the wedding itself. Warm, tropical destinations – like Hawaii or Mexico – with white, sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets are a staple for honeymooners looking for a romantic setting to relax for a week or two. But what about those who are looking for a getaway that incorporates adventure as well as ‘amore’? According to White Rock Travel owner Ginny Harrison, there are plenty

Harrison’s first recommendation would be an African safari in Botswana. Although a safari doesn’t immediately conjure thoughts of romance and relaxation, Harrison insists the safari camps are remarkably lovely and picturesque, perfect for a couple celebrating their recent nuptials. “You can eat dinner outside under the stars

by lantern light, or relax in a huge bathtub,” she explained. “At some of the camps you can even sleep under the stars.” With private dipping pools and cozy, plush beds, and the opportunity to get up-close-andpersonal with some of the continent’s most exotic wildlife, a honeymoon at an African safari camp just might be the perfect way to start your lives together.

‘Possibilities are endless’ › from page B4 the amount of time you can spend away, however, Harrison advises that a trip to Africa might not be the best suited vacation, as with travel times, honeymooners would want at least two weeks to enjoy their excursion. For a slightly shorter getaway, she recommends a trip aboard one of Windstar Cruise’s unique sail ships, which sail a number of destinations including the Greek isles, the Caribbean and Northern Europe, to name a few. “They’re small ships, with only about 180 passengers, and they’re very couples-oriented,” Harrison said, noting the most popular – and likely most romantic – route is between Athens and Istanbul. For the ultimate in adventure-romance experience, Christina Chysyk of Cruise Holidays recommends Costa Rica. “Costa Rica is becoming really popular out of Vancouver,” she said. “There are a number of flight and tour options for a week’s stay.” Another popular honeymoon package is Cuba, according to Chysyk, where couples can choose three nights in Havana and four nights in Veradero, and take in some of the eclectic Cuban culture with a relaxing beach element as well. However, if you’re a couple that is more interested in culture and cuisine than beaches and bungalows, the ultimate in romantic destinations is Europe. Chysyk said there are a number of popular packages into Paris, that include options for meals or hop-on tours, which allow couples to explore at

As cruises are an ever-popular choice for honeymooners – including destinations like the Caribbean and the Mediterrenean – Chysyk suggests exploring land and cruise options, such as flying into London or Paris and hopping on a cruise from there. “The possibilities are pretty much endless.”

› from page B2 “It can be rustic, refined or romantic, or bright and colourful.” The colour of choice for 2013 is expected to be emerald green, according to Linder, who notes that we will see a lot more foliage and less flowers in this year’s arrangements. “Terrariums are making a huge comeback, and you will see lots of rustic, natural materials, bouquets and arrangements with loads of interesting foliage for texture. A third trend to look out for is what is known as ‘caramel blend,’ which has a more muted colour palette, and includes creams, mocha and brown through to soft peach and pink. “This look is more about being warm, intimate and discreet, and also classic,” Linder said, Regardless of what brides may find on the pages of wedding magazines, Linder said it’s important to ask yourself what you really want. “I always encourage my brides to go with what they like and not worry about what’s fashionable,” she said. “You’re going to be looking at those wedding pictures all your life.”

Beauty regime for big day starts early E

very bride wants to look her best on her wedding day, but even with the most gorgeous gown, elegantly styled hair and perfect makeup, a specific beauty regime leading up to the big day can work wonders. There’s no question that a bride’s dress is one of the most important elements of her wedding day. With a treatment of CoolScultping at New Beauty Institute, a bride can be sure her dress fits like a dream, without any problem areas, such as the upper back. “It’s called stubborn fat on purpose,” says Caree Ludwar of New Beauty Institute, who notes the results they have seen with CoolSculpting are nothing short of “phenomenal.” Developed by Harvard scientists, the treatment involves freezing fat cells without damaging the skin, and results are often noticeable after just one visit. With a perfectly fitting dress, a bride will also want healthy glowing skin. At Saunte Medical and Laser Spa, the treatment of choice is an Oxygen Facial. Known as one of Madonna’s favourite beauty treatments, this unique treatment infuses age-defying actives deep into the skin, combined with the natural soothing and healing properties of hyperbaric pressurized oxygen. The result is instantly hydrated and visibly lifted skin – perfect for just before a bride’s big day.
