Words hurt, words heal Kevin Diakiw Black Press

“It’s your fault she died, you know,” he insisted. “If you hadn’t gotten into that fight with her, she’d probably be alive. Why don’t you just take that knife and cut your wrists?” She ignored the words that sounded like the voice of a 50-year-old man talking into her ear from over her shoulder. For two years, she didn’t tell a soul what she was hearing. “It’s your fault. Those pills on the table, you should take the whole bottle.” She was afraid she’d be locked up in a psych ward and that her friends would ditch her. “Just jump out in front of that car, it’ll be quick.” Frightened and fatigued, she finally sought help from a teacher at her White Rock high school. She got help, but her friends fled nonetheless. That was the hardest part, says Ashleigh A Black Press Singleton, a wellspecial series spoken and lucid examines the woman of 27, shattering effects who still hears the voices she of mental illness did 13 years ago. But thanks to the right medication for schizophrenia, they’re nowhere near as loud – or as convincing. She no longer feels like killing herself. As a heavy-metal-music-loving teenager, Singleton couldn’t finish high school for the teasing and isolation she underwent. The stigma was almost too much to bear. She misses the dozen or so friends who wouldn’t socialize with her anymore after she was diagnosed as schizophrenic. But she says those have since been replaced by a host of other great friends. Singleton’s story is one the public might never have heard, as most people with mental illness choose to keep their malady a secret rather than face discrimination. But Singleton mustered the strength to damn the critics and begin speaking her truth anyway. › see page 4

The roar of race-car engines may soon return to tranquil Campbell Valley Regional Park if local motorsports enthusiasts can convince Metro Vancouver. Stock cars haven’t ripped around Langley Speedway since it closed in 1984, but volunteers who want to reopen the defunct track in the south end of the park will make a pitch to Metro’s environment and parks committee today (Thursday). Murray Jones, president of the Langley Speedway Historical Society, says there are thousands of fans in the Lower Mainland, as well as racers, who would flock to the track off 16 Avenue in South Langley, since the next nearest one to Vancouver is in distant Agassiz. “The regional series of NASCAR, whether it’s the northwest tour or some other regional stock car series, would love to come here,” he said. “It’s a dream, but it’s not an impossible dream. We can find ways to do this.” Jones expects a battle with some nearby residents concerned about noise and traffic, as well as Metro politicians and bureaucrats who may see racing as incompatible with trail walking and nature contemplation. But, he argues, the restored racetrack would be a much-needed money-maker for Metro’s regional parks division – the regional district would get a cut of the revenue. Businesses and other sponsors are ready to come on board to help rebuild stands and infrastructure. “Langley Speedway used to accommodate up to 10,000 people and probably could easily again.” › see page 8

Much more attention to this critical shortage of space for postsecondary training is needed from the province. Watts’ third emphasis was on transportation, and she noted that without changes to TransLink, there is little hope of expanded transit service.

A great deal has been invested in new roads, bridges, overpasses and other infrastructure, and this is needed. But at the same time, transit spending in Surrey and other South Fraser cities has lagged behind badly. Transit is critical to Surrey’s future, and all levels of government need to understand this.

15-year sentence for Christmas Day shooter

Store clerk’s killer ‘ready to do his time’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Surrey man who admitted last week to shooting an innocent student and store clerk on Christmas Day 2011 has been sentenced to spend another 15 years in jail. William Andrew Whiteside, 23, heard his fate from Judge James Jardine on Tuesday morning in Surrey Provincial Court. The sentence, totalling 15 years and one month, takes into account time Whiteside has already spent in custody. On Friday, Whiteside pleaded guilty to manslaughter for shooting Alok Gupta to death on Dec. 25, 2011 during an armed robbery. Whiteside apologized in court Tuesday, saying he did not mean to kill Gupta and is remorseful. In handing down the sentence,

Jardine noted Whiteside has wanted to plead guilty for more than a year and expressed his remorse on many occasions. “He is still young,” Jardine said. “At this age, there is still the potential for rehabilitation.” Gupta, a 27-year-old who had come from India less than a year earlier on a student visa, was covering a holiday shift at Ken’s Groceries when he was gunned down. The court heard last week that Whiteside and two friends decided to rob a store to get money so they could buy drugs and party. They drove a stolen car to the store. He pointed a loaded sawed-off rifle at Gupta throughout most of the holdup. He was startled just before leaving and pulled the trigger. Whiteside was initially charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty to the

Alice Gosse harvests chard from her backyard garden – a garden she now shares with Rick Ketcheson and his wife, after deciding not to move.

Neighbours encouraged to cultivate shared arrangements

It takes a village to raise a garden Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

As the weather gets warmer and warmer, Alice Gosse can’t wait to get her hands dirty. The White Rock senior tries to spend at least an hour a day in her backyard garden; it’s time she finds both therapeutic and productive. Not long ago, however, it was time that, after more than three decades, she was preparing to give up, as the task of looking after her 200plus square feet of fertile ground was starting to become too much for the senior. And then she met Rick Ketcheson and his wife, who happened to be looking for land they could garden; to go beyond the containers they plant at their White Rock townhouse. “I definitely had planned to move this spring,” Gosse said. After coming to an arrangement with the Ketchesons, however, “I phoned the real estate agent and said, sorry, not this year.” Now, the Ketchesons pop by Gosse’s home a few times a week, planting seeds, shovelling compost and doing whatever else needs doing to grow the foods they’d like to have at home. In exchange for the privilege, Gosse gets her pick of the harvest. “They do the garden and I can take what I

want out of it,” she said. “Which, for one person, isn’t much.” The arrangement – shared backyard gardening – is a form of community gardening Ketcheson hopes will take root on a greater scale on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. From talking with friends and neighbours, he knows there’s interest out there – interest in the quality, price and sustainability of food. “I had four offers in one week,” he said, of the response he got after first mentioning his desire to find land to garden. The interest in building more community gardens is also strong, he said. Together, the ideas led to formation of the Semiahmoo Food Network (semiahmoofoodnetwork.weebly.com) and a plan to appeal to White Rock council for support. First, Ketcheson needs a better idea of who’s interested – “people to come forward and make it clear this is something the community wants,” he said. Then, he’ll ask the city for a five-year commitment to do groundwork, such as identify potential sites and develop cost estimates so that the gardens can proceed. White Rock currently has one community

garden. Opened in July 2011, the 21-plot space on Vine Street – just east of Centennial Park – is full and over-subscribed, Ketcheson’s been told. It’s the same case for the City of Surrey’s Dunsmuir Gardens in Crescent Beach. Ketcheson said community gardens grow more than just food. “It’s a great community builder. People get together, they meet one another, they grow food and share their knowledge,” he said. “To me, it’s part of the whole transition to a more sustainable economic structure.” Those interested don’t have to be experienced gardeners, he added. One person who got involved contributed the group’s website. Another has raised the idea with the mayor, who Ketcheson said has encouraged a delegation to council. It may be that there are people in the community who have land they’d like to see put to good use. “It’s just a matter of taking what people can give and turning it into something productive.” He acknowledged the undertaking is not a small one, but “certainly not impossible.” To get involved or for more information, Ketcheson may be reached at 604-219-1795 or semiahmoofoodnetwork@gmail.com

Nearly six years after a pair of alleged sexual assaults in White Rock, the man accused of the crimes is going to trial. Const. Janelle Shoihet said Friday that proceedings were initially stymied by difficulties locating the now 34-year-old accused. They were further delayed by a number of missed court appearances that resulted in arrest warrants being issued. The first arrest warrant was issued in 2007, after two women – then aged 25 and 33 – reported they had been sexually assaulted at a White Rock residence by an acquaintance. According to court records, the alleged assaults occurred on Aug. 3 and Aug. 31 of 2007. Shoihet said police were alerted in September of that year, when a 25-year-old woman alleged she had been sexually assaulted by her boyfriend’s roommate; and a 33-year-old woman alleged that the same man had tried to fondle her. A warrant for Jason Andrew Robinson was issued the following May. In November 2011, White Rock officers were advised that Robinson had been located and released on conditions issued by Victoria Police. A second warrant was issued in January 2012, following a missed court appearance. A third warrant was issued this past February. Shoihet said her detachment was advised on March 20 that the latest warrant had been executed. Robinson remains in custody, and made a brief video appearance in Surrey Provincial Court last Thursday. He is due back in court tomorrow (Friday) to confirm dates for a trial, which has been scheduled for June 4-10.

Family tries to overcome the stigma › from page 1 So she does, to anyone who will listen. And, for the most part, she finds an understanding and compassionate audience. “If I can speak to that one girl or boy (in pain), it’s worth it,” Singleton says. “You don’t have to cut yourself. You don’t have to kill yourself.” Most of all, she doesn’t want anyone to endure the years of torment that she did. She’s hoping to take her story to Surrey schools to help people better understand that mental illness isn’t a death sentence. A normal life awaits with the right treatment, Singleton says. She credits her father, Mike, for almost single-handedly bringing her to this place of openness. “It it wasn’t for him, I’d be dead.” For Mike Singleton, his daughter’s condition marked the second time he had to deal with the terrifying symptoms of schizophrenia.

The family secret In 1979, Mike fell in with Maggie and married her, despite warnings from friends that she had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Mike didn’t know anything about the illness, nor would it have made a bit of difference to him. He loved her fiercely. Because of her condition, his “delicate angel” was prone to periodic fits of rage. Mike could never be certain what he was walking into when he got home. Sometimes, Maggie would hurl pots and pans at him for no apparent reason, or she’d call him at work screaming with anger. The episodes would last about an hour or two, then she would dissolve into remorse and be back to her sweet self. She never discussed her illness with Mike, nor their children. Mike, in turn, also kept the secret, not wanting to bring embarrassment upon her, himself or the family. Fear of public alienation silenced any discussion. “I was deathly afraid that people would find out that she’d call me at work screaming the way that she did at times,” Mike says. “I really didn’t have a clue about mental illness at the time.” Maggie later developed multiple sclerosis, a progressive central nervous system disorder. She died in 2000. Months later, at age 14, Ashleigh started hearing voices. As soon as she was diagnosed, Mike decided he would take a completely different position. “That’s when I decided there was no way I was going to hold it in anymore,” he says. “I was going to talk to anybody and everybody about it and I was going to educate as many people as I could about what mental illness is. “They’re not bad people, they’re just people with an illness.” Now, he’s reaching out further, in his first media interview. Maggie and the Singletons could be forgiven for their decades of silence – stigma surrounding mental disorders can be paralyzing.

relationship with one. While it’s improving slightly over time, stigma remains one of the most significant barriers for people seeking help for mental illness. Public attitudes and beliefs, largely based on fear and misunderstanding, create stereotypes, which lead to prejudice and discrimination. A poll of parents a few years ago found that 38 per cent wouldn’t tell anyone if they thought their child had a mental illness, so that child would unlikely get needed medical help. In 2001, the World Health Organization declared stigma to be the “single most important barrier to overcome in the community.”

Ashleigh Singleton speaks out.

The barrier Subtle as dismissiveness or inattention, or more obvious as eye-rolling, whispering and snickering, stigma is extremely pervasive, and those in the field say it affects everyone diagnosed with a mental illness. Those stricken by it say it creates a feeling of isolation, loneliness, shame and scorn. It’s often described as being worse than the disease itself. In its extreme, stigma against people with mental disorders can lead to discrimination or even violence. Discrimination against the mentally ill can also result in an inability to find employment, housing, friends or a life mate. Knowing those outcomes, more than 60 per cent of adults with symptoms of mental illness won’t seek help. That number rises to 80 per cent for youth. Brian Jacobson, co-ordinator for the Assertive Community Treatment mental-health service in North Surrey, has seen what stigma does and how it impedes people reaching out for help. “If you start hearing voices, and there’s nobody else around, you’re going to think yourself, ‘I’m crazy,’ so just imagine what other people are going to think,” Jacobson says. Because early intervention is key to effective treatment, the real cost of stigma is the longterm health of the sufferer. “I see patients come into the hospital, and you can tell when someone’s psychotic and hearing voices. And a lot of them will deny up, down and sideways that they’re hearing anything,” he says. “It’s because they don’t want to be sick, they don’t want to have this illness, that everyone lumps you in with all the crazy, murdering schizophrenics out there, in the public’s view.” Statistics back up this stark statement. The 2008 National Report Card on Health Care in Canada indicated 42 per cent of people would reconsider socializing with a friend if it was discovered they had a mental illness. The majority would not hire a person with mental illness, nor would they consider a marital

In Canada, the impediment is so serious that in 2008, a Senate committee called for a 10-year initiative to reduce the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness. It’s the most extensive study of its kind ever to take place in this country, and has gained world-wide attention. Called ‘Opening Minds,’ the initiative is a Mental Health Commission of Canada program to change attitudes and behaviours of Canadians surrounding mental illness. The commission is tackling the issue on several fronts. Because 70 per cent of people with mental illness had symptoms before age 18, Opening Minds is examining children between the ages of 12 and 17, the age group where it’s believed changes in viewpoints and discrimination can have the most effect. The initiative is also looking into health-care professionals, because many stigmatizing viewpoints exist there as well, said commission chair Mike Kirby at the launch of Opening Minds. Another place to tackle stigma is in the media. Studies find that about 45 per cent of news articles regarding people with mental illness link the condition to violence and criminality. Opening Minds director Michael Pietrus says that if society can make some inroads with stigma, the lives of those with mental illness will improve substantially. The sooner people reach out for help, he said, the better. Pietrus told Black Press that one of the most promising things found to combat stigma is exactly what Ashleigh Singleton is doing – braving the social push-back and going public. “Where you have people who have successfully dealt with the mental illness… coming forward and telling their story, it gives other people hope,” Pietrus said. “(It shows), certainly in the vast majority of cases, you can get better.” n For those in need of help, Fraser Health Crisis Line is a good place to start.

Police apprehend two men on Foster Street

Arrested at gunpoint Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock police arrested two men at gunpoint Monday evening, after an attempt to stop a Dodge Avenger led to the discovery of a prohibited driver. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. on Foster Street near North Bluff Road. A witness told Peace Arch News she saw a police car block off a mid-size car, and an officer draw his gun on the occupants, “yelling for the driver to get out of the car, put his hands on the hood and for the passenger to keep his hands on the dash or he might get shot.” Const. Janelle Shoihet said the incident started when the officer attempted to pull over a vehicle that was registered to a prohibited driver. The vehicle was eastbound in the 14800-block of North Bluff Road when it was first spotted, and the driver did not respond to the officer’s

efforts to stop it. The driver “made some evasive maneuvers to try and get away,” Shoihet said. The vehicle went through a red light and turned onto Foster Street, and then the officer saw the driver switch places with the passenger, she said. The officer drew his gun when the vehicle occupants failed to comply with demands. “He was yelling at them to do something and the passenger wasn’t listening,” Shoihet said. “He was putting his hands down.” Two Surrey men, aged 19 and 22 years, were arrested. One was held for court and the other was released on a promise to appear. They are facing charges including obstruction, driving while disqualified and possession for the purpose of trafficking in connection with the incident. Their names have not been released.

No record for alleged assault A Surrey man who allegedly assaulted another man at a Marine Drive restaurant more than a year ago will not end up with a criminal record for the offence – provided he behaves himself for the next year. Kyle Adam Emery Porayko, 21, was ordered Monday in Surrey Provincial Court to keep the peace and have no contact with the 26-year-old he was accused of injuring on Dec. 7, 2011.

The victim “sustained injuries to his eye and had some chipped teeth… acute facial trauma,” White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said. According to court records, Porayko was originally charged with assault. That charge did not proceed, Shoihet noted. Instead, Porayko was sentenced on a charge of “fear of injury/damage by another person.”

Carbon offsets all smoke and mirrors

he audit of the Pacific Carbon Trust raises many fundamental questions about the province’s claim to be carbon-neutral. Many people have questioned the scheme which forces public agencies to pay funds equalling $25 per tonne of greenhouse gas emission to PCT, a Crown agency. This money has come from the operating budgets of schools, hospitals and universities. PCT in turn buys carbon offsets from private organizations. A wooded area in the Kootenays was saved from logging, in part through this agency. It is highly questionable to take money from classrooms and emergency rooms to buy carbon offsets. It would make much more sense to give capital funds to various provincial agencies to physically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions through, for example, more efficient furnaces or better insulation. However, like many political programs, there is a large element of smoke and mirrors in this. The public is being told that government is reducing emissions, and some of them actually believe it. What is even more bizarre about this audit is that PCT and other individuals and groups that benefit from carbon offsetting were circulating information ahead of the release of the auditor general’s report, and actively attempting to debunk it. Environment Minister Terry Lake, who otherwise seems to be a reasonable individual, bought into this, and said at a press conference “Who audits the auditor general?” He clearly does not believe that there is anything wrong with taking money from schools and hospitals and redistributing it to private corporations which, according to the report, would likely undertake programs to reduce emissions anyway. The audit indicates that the entire carbonoffset program needs a more thorough examination, and it should be curtailed until that more detailed examination has been made. In the meantime, if the government has money it can put towards reducing emissions, it needs to put it towards actual projects within the public sector – not to private corporations and non-profits. Reducing carbon emissions is a worthy goal. Government has a role to play, but must do so in a way that is seen to be an effective and practical use of tax dollars.

dismay, we managed to find ourselves with a driver who had a thing for the BeeGees. “Shoot me,” said my teen. “No, me first,” I answered. With the greatest of respect to those who have mariachi music in their blood or background, I now understand why tequila is so prominent in Mexico. As you might guess, the mechanical soundness of these tourist-toting sewing machines runs the gamut from polished and purring, to gritty and grinding. One of our drivers monitored his fuel consumption not via a functioning gauge, but on gut feeling, which was a bit off that day. We sat and waited on some nameless sidestreet while he and his fiveyear-old son, who was riding shotgun, walked up the road to get some gasoline in a plastic bottle. And the driving? Exhilarating was a good word for us. Cheerfully coronaryinducing would be more fitting for others. How they manage to dart in and out of heavy traffic, with scant inches between bumpers and fenders, and not become scrap metal, is really quite awe-inspiring. Here’s something else interesting about Mazatlan. Opposed to other worlds of madcap motoring, say Rome, for instance, vehicle horns are not directly connected to the accelerator. Drivers in Maz may be mildly maniacal, but they’re mellow maniacs, rarely ever yelling, gesturing rudely, or blowing their horns. B.C. road-ragers could learn something from these folks.

Misinformation a disservice Editor: I am outraged by the latest government-funded newsletter put out by MP Russ Hiebert stating the Harper government has improved benefits for disabled soldiers returning from the Afghan war. Fact is, the government is balancing the budget with disproportionately low payments to wounded soldiers. Hiebert (Surrey-White RockCloverdale) states our severely disabled soldiers are getting greater benefits since 2011. However, the Veterans Ombudsman Office disagrees, stating in a January report that Canada’s severely disabled soldiers will have most of their benefits cancelled at age 65. Partially disabled soldiers – who don’t get all the stated benefits in Hiebert’s letter – are now suing the government for better benefits. In their pleadings before the BC Supreme Court as of last Oct. 30, there are examples like a soldier who had both legs crushed receiving in total only $13,500 from this government. So sad that the government has not even responded to these pleadings but has time to put out misleading information. Hiebert quotes the federal NDP as saying in 2009 everything is OK with the New Veterans Charter. This was said before the settlement letters were sent to our wounded soldiers. Today, both the federal NDP and Liberal parties have publicly stated the charter has serious problems with its settlement amounts and needs to be changed ASAP. The last time I heard such government propaganda was when I was a young boy in Nazi-controlled Germany. That is why my family left to come to Canada, where I served in the Canadian Armed Forces for seven years. Hardy Staub, White Rock

The height of arrogance Editor: Re: West Beach residents seek bylaw change, March 28. We, the residents of the Mainsail, are all completely mystified by the actions of White Rock city council. What power do citizens have? The city is currently in the midst of adopting new zoning bylaws,

which they claim to be minor changes and mostly housekeeping. While this is true to some degree, it certainly is not for the new CR-3 zoning that is being introduced to cover the West Beach business area directly in front of our property, where we are paying a premium tax levy to White Rock city for the view of the ocean, with changes being introduced that will have ramifications for years to come. The zoning would allow buildings along this strip to be much taller and have greater density. Why would the City of White Rock want to increase the density in this area and build taller buildings to block views? What benefit would this achieve? At the recent public hearing, there was a huge turnout of citizens questioning the wisdom and truth about this new zoning bylaw. Does this council concern themselves more with the well-being and value of the properties owned by the business community or by all the citizens of White Rock?

Please stop this arbitrary altering of the bylaws to give the few powerful beneficiaries the advantage. Karl Gregg, White Rock n When council makes decisions that clearly harm a majority of residents, in favour of a developer who resides in an area other than White Rock, they in turn show absolutely no respect for the very people who have elected them to guide and protect the interests of the citizens. With few exceptions, developers of houses, highrises and commercial buildings reside in areas other than White Rock, yet council will allow them to come into our community and run council as they see fit. The city in the past has given a high priority to protecting the views of its residents; thousands of homes have been built following guidelines that protect the views of the people who reside behind the development. Council now wants to allow developers to destroy these views. One reason White Rock is

a desirable place to live is its unobstructed views from many of its homes. If this council cannot protect the views of its residents, then they should be replaced. Just for your information, I do not have a view but I believe in respect. John Campbell, White Rock

Editor: I support the possibility that White Rock city council take another look at the skateboarding Bylaw 1529-45 that states: “No person shall skateboard upon any street, boulevard or sidewalk within the shown plan…” Instead of penalizing kids for skateboarding, I believe more focus should be placed on safety precautions, i.e. helmet and staying off the busiest roads of White Rock. Skateboarding is a healthy activity, much like scootering, cycling, rollerblading, all which are legal. Doesn’t it seem unfair that if I was longboarding with friends on scooters, bicycles and rollerblades, I would be the only one committing a crime?

Skateboarding and longboarding is keeping a large number of kids in the White Rock/South Surrey area healthy and active. Another great place to skateboard with a large skateboarding community is North Vancouver, which has changed its bylaw focusing more on education and the use of safety equipment instead of banning skateboarding altogether. I would just like to say skateboarding is not made up of a bunch of rebellious youth. My friends and I do well in school and participate in other sports and hope to be positive citizens in our community. Elliot Jamieson, Grade 6, White Rock

Langley Speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park once attracted thousands of car-racing fans.

Metro seeks cash for park upgrades › from page 1 With racing expected only a limited number of days each year, Jones argues it would be a multipurpose venue available for other events attracting large crowds. “You could have concerts, car shows, bicycle races, outdoor theatre, markets – all sorts of different activities.” At this point, the society just wants Metro to agree to seriously consider the idea and put it out to public consultation. They have one ally on Metro’s environment and parks committee – Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, the committee’s vice-chair. But Martin won’t predict the chances of even getting past the starting line, adding horse riders who use the park’s equestrian area are mobilizing to fight the idea. “Staff are probably opposed to opening it up,” Martin said. The speedway had closed after

noise complaints from residents, she said, noting muffling technology may have improved. “Campbell Valley Regional Park is a park bigger than Stanley Park and this is one little area of it,” Martin said. “Maybe 15 days of the year it might be a bit noisy.” Martin noted Metro Vancouver has endorsed a strategy of exploring more business opportunities in its regional parks to raise more money from them, as it has ambitious plans – but insufficient cash – to upgrade its parks. Besides deteriorating buildings, Metro planners have a long list of land acquisitions they’d like to make to add 5,500 hectares of new or expanded parkland to the system – at a cost of $1.1 billion. That would require an estimated $37 million a year over 30 years. Tremendous investment is also needed to make the proposed

Experience the Fraser trail network a reality instead of mainly a plan on paper. “I think we have to start looking more outside the box on what activities we can do in our parks from the private sector that fit in our parks,” Martin said. “You can’t continue to go to the taxpayer for these kinds of things.” Martin said the speedway was a “great revenue generator” in the past. “I see this as an economic opportunity,” she said. “But certainly all the ducks have to be in a row.” Metro previously rejected ideas like zip lines or a golf academy in regional parks, but has lately opened the door to business a crack, approving dog obedience training classes, vending machines and event tent rentals. Metro has long generated some money from building rentals and film productions in parks.

ince he was a young child, Ben Goodridge has dreamed about flying. You could say it’s his dad’s fault. His outgoing, often thrillseeking, pilot father once arrived at Goodridge’s elementary school and told the teachers his son had a doctor’s appointment. Within minutes, the two were in his father’s small plane doing multiple barrel rolls high above the school. “I had to promise my dad not to tell anyone it was us flying that day,” Goodridge recalls. It’s a memory that still brings a smile to his face. Taking his first flight with his dad was the spark that ignited a lifelong passion. “It was the buzz and the open space,” says Goodridge, now 35, in a thick English accent. “Seeing the world by air as a kid, it always seemed so cool. I always felt at

luxury due to the high costs of the hobby and few airstrips. Clients were difficult to find. Since Goodridge holds both Canadian and British citizenship, he decided to give Canada a try, due to the country’s wide-open spaces and a more recreational and available flying community. During a trip here last year, Goodridge visited some local flying schools and asked about starting a program specifically designed for disabled pilots. He found a receptive ear in King George Aviation owner, Arnold Klappe. “From the beginning, Arnold has been great,” says Goodridge. “We really feel we can develop a niche market opportunity right here in Surrey that isn’t available anywhere else in Canada in terms of having a dedicated handcontrolled aircraft.” King George Aviation, located just south of Colebrook Road off

King George Boulevard, offers pilot training, plane rentals and sightseeing or discovery flights. The cost of getting a pilot’s licence for an ultralight aircraft is, on average, $3,500, substantially less than one for conventional aircraft, and ultralight credits are transferable towards a full pilot’s licence. And younger pilots (age 16 and older) are eligible to gain elective credits toward high school graduation. On average, earning an ultralight pilot’s licence requires 20 hours of ground school with 17 hours of flight time. “For me it’s been a very emotional journey,” Goodridge says of earning his wings. “I really want to share my dream with other paraplegics or with people who didn’t know this was possible. I really want to see the expression on people’s faces. “It’s a hell of a buzz.”

MS fundraiser set for Sunday in White Rock

Walk honours loved ones Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Flipping through the pages of her photo album at her home in Cloverdale, Lisa McMaster points out some of her favourite photos. There are the pictures of her when she attended Semiahmoo Secondary, baby photos and snapshots of her parents. She stops turning the pages and points to a photo of her father, looking no older than 30, smiling and standing with a group of friends. “You can see here, even then he had a cane,” she said. For as long as she can remember, McMaster’s life was impacted by multiple sclerosis. Her father, Roy Kristiansen, was diagnosed with the disabling disease – which attacks the central nervous system – when she was only three. The more-than-decade-long battle with the disease left the family struggling financially and emotionally long after his death

at the young age of 46. “He was sick for most of my life and he slowly got worse until he passed away when I was 17,” she said. “He passed away from a heart attack due to the MS. At that time, he was so sick that he couldn’t take care of himself, he couldn’t feed himself and he couldn’t bathe himself. “It was so hard, but after all he went through, it was also a blessing.” While in high school, the former White Rock resident, now 31, met longtime friend Danielle Beaudoin, whose grandmother, Marie, lived with the disease for 30 years until her death this past December. “She never wanted to talk about it because she wanted to be so strong for her family, she didn’t want any pity,” Beaudoin said. “Despite that, I saw a lot of decline with the MS. She got sick around Christmas time, and it looked like after spending a week with her in the hospital, that she

was going to be OK, but I think after a while she was ready to go.” In honour of their loved ones, the duo will be participating in Sunday’s annual Scotiabank MS Walk in their hometown at Bayview Park on Marine Drive. It will be the second year the friends – who will be raising funds under the team name Roy’s Baby Dolls – participate. Four years ago, Beaudoin and McMaster raised more than $3,000. So far this year, the two have surpassed their $500 goal, raising more than $1,200. “We’re hoping we can get a little bit more in before Sunday,” McMaster said. Both agree that while raising the funds is an important aspect, getting the word out about the disease is a top priority. “We want to raise awareness about this disease,” Beaudoin said. “It’s a personal goal for us and our family.” For more information about the walk, visit www.mswalks.ca

programs to remove spartina in an effort to preserve the ecological integrity of the shoreline habitat. A study on nearby Washington’s Wallapa Bay is showing how rapidly it can spread; there, in 1992, it covered 400 acres and the area almost quadrupled to 15,000 acres by 2002, a dramatic indication of the need for control. Hand-pulling and digging are the recommended control measures. Some other undesirable aliens – all capable of rapid spread and habitat impoverishment – are the unpleasant-smelling herb robert, morning glory, periwinkle and purple loosestrife, which can be checked by cutting the stems before flowers have gone to seed and by promoting the two known leaf beetles and three weevils that feed on it. The Ministry of Food and Agriculture’s website – www.agf. bc.ca/cropprot/nonnativepests. htm – deals mainly with diseases and insects, but it has a useful link to undesirable plant introductions also. It’s evident that, once established, these invasive plants are difficult to eradicate and so the old cliché applies: prevention is better than cure; don’t plant them.

DRUG COVERAGE CONFUSION?

Wildlife organization hosts public this weekend

OWL set to open doors Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A Delta-based wildlife organization is opening its doors to the public with a weekend-long open house. OWL – Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society – will hold the open house April 13-14 at the facility, located at 3800 72 St. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Specializing in the care of birds of prey – including owls and eagles – the society’s staff and volunteers tend to more than 400 patients each year from all over the Lower Mainland. At the open house, visitors will have a chance to see an expanded tour of the facility, explained staffer Rachel Sanders. “Visitor usually only get to see five to 10 per cent of the facility, but at the annual open house, it’s closer to 70 per cent,” she said. “People get to see the care centre, the medical room and the intensive care unit.” The family-friendly day will include a range of activities, she noted, including a fishing competition for the kids in the pool area, which is usually full of trout for the birds to hunt. “We’ve taken out the trout and put in toy fish for the kids,” she said, noting there will be raffles, a garage sale, face painting, educational components and tasty

Snoopy, the organization’s official ambassador, and others at OWL will host a two-day open house this weekend. treats. While the day will be full of opportunities to see the work the organization does, Sanders said the focal point of both days will be at 1 p.m. with the release of a rehabilitated bird. Saturday will feature the release of an eagle, while Sunday will remain a surprise, she said. “It’s definitely rewarding to see that. Visitors will be able to take away a different perspective. Many times, people don’t give these birds a second thought on how much impact they can have on the environment. But now, they will really get a feel of how majestic these birds are,” Sanders

explained. Late last year, the society rescued and rehabilitated two bald eagles that were discovered in bushes in Crescent Park. The male raptor had one of the female’s talons through his neck, while the female had a talon puncturing her left thigh. After a couple of weeks at the sanctuary, the healthy birds were released back into the wild at Crescent Park. Proceeds from the event will go towards the care of the animals at the sanctuary – including food and medicine. For more information about the society, visit www. owlcanada.org

EXTRA ! Y T A E M Covering the costs of Critter Care Fundraising dinner set for April 27

Monique Tamminga Black Press

It’s spring, and that means busy baby season for Critter Care rehabilitation centre, that takes in injured and orphaned wildlife. “Baby season has started early this year,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin. “We are busy repairing some of the enclosures, getting them ready.” Special formula is being brought in for the babies, which include raccoons, bears, fawn, beaver, otter, squirrels and more. The five bear cubs they have are awake and eating, getting ready for their

release back to the wild in May. The formula alone costs around $10,000 per year. Then there is the medication for the injured or sick animals. That’s why Martin is urging those who have a love for B.C.’s wildlife to buy a ticket to their 14th annual dinner and auction on Saturday, April 27 at the Langley Seniors’ Centre. The event includes a no-host bar and dinner, as well as door prizes – including a sunset flight over the Gulf Islands – live and silent auction, games and more. Tickets are $55 and can be purchased by calling 604-530-2054.

Hosting waste plant may offer tempting payoff for cities

Metro to kick off search for incinerator site Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver will soon launch its search for sites for a new waste-to-energy plant that is sure to be controversial in whatever neighbourhoods are picked, and potentially lucrative for the successful host city. Starting in July, land owners interested in hosting a new garbage incinerator will be asked to step forward and advise the regional district of their interest. Metro will short-list up to five sites that it would secure with options to purchase that could see the regional district pay out up to File photo $7.5 million to Metro Vancouver is searching for a location for its new incinerator. the land owners as compensation it already owns, the city can later resulting district energy enclave while they wait may also be trumpeted as cutting to see if their site sell off its surrounding land at a profit to industries or other build- greenhouse gases. is chosen. ings that spring up around it, also “It’s a really good green badge Meanwhile, pocketing development fees and for cities,” Corrigan said, adding a some of the 19 a permanent jump in its property new incinerator could power the companies protax base. equivalent of 15,000 homes with posing various Since any site proponent can put garbage that would otherwise be technologies to Derek Corrigan whatever conditions they want on landfilled. build the new Burnaby Mayor plant may have it, the city could also insist it get “Obviously this isn’t going to be electricity or heat from the Metro as clean as burning natural gas secured sites of or getting hydro from a dam. their own that would also be added incinerator at wholesale rates and then use the offer of discount It wouldn’t be your fuel of to the list. choice.

Sites further away, such as on Vancouver Island, would have one advantage: defusing opposition from Fraser Valley residents who fear more air pollution wafting their way. And there could be sites in the Fraser Valley itself – one of the proponents is named Chilliwack Bioenergy Group and owned by local businessmen there. But other factors will also be in play, according to Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, vice-chair of Metro’s zero waste committee. Undeveloped greenfield sites or others where intensive redevelopment is expected – such as Sur$10 for $20 worth rey’s City Centre – may better harness steam heat of Pub Fare at or electricity generated The Hemmingway by the plant for a district energy system supplying Waterfront nearby buildings.

both directly propose their own property and the Tsawwassen First Nation has had talks with Aquilini Renewable Energy – one of the proponents – about hosting the plant on TFN treaty land. Covanta Energy, which runs the existing Burnaby incinerator, is also behind a proposal to burn Metro waste at a former pulp mill at Gold River, on the west side of Vancouver Island. It was also suggested at Metro’s waste management committee Thursday that New Westminster – which has its own electrical utility – could be a good fit. Delta may also surface as a site when the final list is unveiled – Lehigh Cement, which runs the cement plant on River Road, is another proponent. Metro intends to pick a site by 2015, which would later be paired with a winning proponent that would have the new waste-fired plant built by 2018. Corrigan acknowledges concerns that strategies to reduce or recycle more waste may falter because the incinerator must be fed.

But he said the expected capacity of the plant – 370,000 tonnes per year – has already been scaled back and he doubts the region’s waste stream can be cut enough to render a new plant redundant. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said he thought it “crazy” that municipalities might be paid money by Metro for options on their own sites. Metro officials say potential land needs to be secured, but a municipality could waive payment for the option and that could improve its site’s position on the short list. Metro directors also decided the new plant or plants – if more than one is built – will be owned by Metro, ruling out P3 private ownership or a Metro-municipal partnership. Corrigan said that helps simplify what is already a highly complex procurement process. A private firm could not have borrowed the $500 million that will likely be needed at the low interest rates the regional district gets, he added.

B.C. agrees to farm freeze Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. won’t approve any new net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands before 2020, in line with the Cohen Inquiry’s call for a freeze in that area to safeguard migrating wild sockeye. “We’re taking the precautionary principle as the commissioner has requested,” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said in an interview last month after releasing the province’s formal response to Justice Bruce Cohen’s recommendations last fall into the decline of Fraser River sockeye.

The freeze applies only in the Discovery Islands off northeastern Vancouver Island, which includes a narrow channel where most sockeye pass in close proximity to numerous ocean-based salmon farms. B.C. could consider new licences in other areas of the coast, but Letnick wasn’t able to say if any applications are expected. The main operator in the area, Marine Harvest, has indicated it has no need for new tenures in that area, Letnick said. Cohen did not conclusively tie farmed salmon to the collapse

of wild sockeye runs, but heard enough evidence to recommend the limited moratorium until September of 2020, while more monitoring is carried out to assess the risk from aquaculture-spread disease or other pathogens. He also recommended farms along the migration route be shut down if science can’t prove by 2020 that the risk to wild fish from aquaculture is minimal. He said the government has also accepted the intent of the other seven Cohen recommendations that apply to the province.

BC Liberals roll out funding announcements

School funds lead blitz Tom Fletcher Black Press

In the final days before the election campaign formally begins on April 16, the BC Liberal government is rolling out spending announcements as rival parties prepare to outline their commitments. In Vancouver, Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Don McRae announced plans for earthquake-resistance work on 45 B.C. schools Monday, with a whopping price tag of $584 million. With 37 of B.C.’s 60 school districts in earthquake-prone areas of the province, the government’s systematic program to reinforce schools stretches back to 2004. In Abbotsford, Finance Minister Mike de Jong and Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announced a $1 million program to provide milk from local dairy farms at no cost to children from

Small parties stake out turf Tom Fletcher Black Press

As the NDP widens its lead over the governing BC Liberal Party in a new poll, the BC Conservatives and BC Green Party are hoping an early rollout of their policy platforms will help their support grow. An Angus Reid public opinion poll released last month showed the NDP the choice of 48 per cent of decided voters, up one point since February. The BC Liberals were down three points to 28 per cent of decided voters. The BC Conservatives and BC Greens were both up slightly in voter intention, tied at 11 per cent support. The poll surveyed 809 B.C. adults March 18 and 19, claiming a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 per cent. The BC Conservatives released their “pre-election platform” March 21, describing it as a

Clark to air TV talk Tom Fletcher Black Press

The BC Liberal Party is buying a half-hour on TV Sunday night so Premier Christy Clark can make her pitch for re-election directly to voters. The program will air April 14 at 7 p.m. on Global TV, two days before the formal election campaign begins for the May 14 vote. It will emphasize the economy and include testimonials from community leaders, said Mike McDonald, the B.C. Liberal campaign manager. “It is also a matter of basic respect for voters to outline our priorities and policies,” McDonald said. “We hope the NDP will change course and do the same.” NDP leader Adrian Dix has indicated he will roll out his party’s election platform in a series of announcements, an apparent effort

to maximize media coverage. Clark has tied her campaign to the government’s heavily promoted jobs plan, putting the party at the mercy of volatile federal employment statistics. After a surge of new jobs reported in February, there was an equally steep plunge in the March numbers, pushing B.C’s official unemployment rate from 6.3 per cent to seven. Clark has also emphasized her commitment to develop liquefied natural gas exports from the B.C. North Coast, a project that has attracted global investment. Spending and deficits are another focus of the campaign. The BC Liberals tabled a balanced budget in March, which the NDP claim has understated spending and overstated revenues to the tune of a $790 million deficit.

Debates on TV, radio B.C. party leaders will take part in at least two debates, one on TV and one on radio, in the run-up to the May 14 provincial election. CKNW radio is hosting a leaders’ debate at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 26. Invited to take part are B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark, NDP leader Adrian Dix, Green Party leader Jane Sterk and B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins. A one-hour television debate is set for the following Monday, April 29 at 7 p.m. on Global TV, also featuring the four major party leaders. Clark said Tuesday she is challenging Dix to a one-on-one televised debate proposed for May 6. Dix said it would be “disrespectful” to voters and other party leaders to exclude them.

THE

Root Retained Over-Dentures

Question: Over the past 10-15 years I have lost more than half of my upper teeth and most of my lower molars. I am now having trouble chewing and my jaw joints are starting to ‘clunk’ when I open and close. I know I need to get this problem fixed but I’ve had partial dentures before and could never tolerate the feeling of something covering the roof of my mouth. I was recently told that the only way to avoid covering my palate was with an implant supported palate-less denture using four or more dental implants. Problem is that I really can’t afford that kind of treatment. I have great dental insurance so are there any other options besides dental implants?

that a cast post and root cap can then be bonded inside the tooth after it has been shaved down closer to the gumline. On the top of these root caps the male half of a two piece friction fitted attachment is typically attached and is made to line up with a matching female housing which is permanently buried in the acrylic on the underside of the denture. When three or more of these attachments are utilized, the overdenture can be snapped down on top of these root caps to create added stability and retention such that a large portion of the acrylic overdenture can now be removed to create extra room for the tongue. This has a profound impact on how the patient talks, breathes, laughs, eats and swallows. The added benefit to this type of prosthesis is that it allows the patient to retain several tooth roots and the Answer: First of all your situation is not all that uncom- surrounding jaw bone which helps to maintain the integrity mon, and yes, dental implants can be very expensive and of the patient’s arch shape and facial profile. time consuming.

If you have adequate root length and bone support on three or more of your upper teeth and these teeth are spread out around the arch and your ‘bite’ is within normal limits then you may be a candidate for a root retained overdenture. Rather than utilizing a series of dental implants to support a denture we may be able to design an overdenture which attaches and detached to a series of individual post and root caps which are permanently anchored into the roots of your remaining (retained) natural teeth. This type of a prosthesis is removable by the patient and requires that root canal treatment be performed on all the chosen anchor teeth so

Esthetically a finished root retained overdenture looks fantastic and can be fabricated and delivered for considerably less than the cost of a 4x dental implant supported overdenture and usually with better insurance coverage. If you are interested in determining if this is a potential option for you or one of your family members, we invite you to give our office a call.

TransLink’s fuel tax takes hit

Metro gas sales decline Black Press

Drivers are continuing to gas up less within Metro Vancouver, resulting in an ongoing drag on TransLink’s finances. Fuel sold in the region dropped 2.1 per cent in 2012, according to TransLink’s year-end report. The transportation authority’s actual fuel tax revenue was up by 7.5 per cent to more than $335 million, but the gain only happened because TransLink’s tax was raised two cents to 17 cents per litre in April 2012. “I think it’s a longterm trend,” TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said. “I don’t think we can count on fuel revenue being at the same level as in the past.” Fuel tax sales in the region have declined an average of two per cent a year for the past five years. “I don’t think it’s ever going to go back. Unless gasoline prices go back down below $1 a litre and people start going nuts again.” Olewiler attributes the drop to drivers simply not driving as much, and not primarily from them seeking cheaper gas in the U.S. She said a trend of

SAVE UP TO

motorists to choose more fuel-efficient vehicles is another factor. Transit use is also growing – TransLink reported the number of transit trips grew nearly two per cent last year to 363 million. Financial statements show TransLink ended 2012 with a small surplus, thanks to aggressive cost-cutting. The transportation agency saved about $45 million more than it planned, much of it from running leaner bus service. Chief financial officer Cathy McLay said some of the extra money came from revenue gains. TransLink’s bus route optimization – where service is strategically shifted from underused routes to ones where more riders can be carried – has helped pull in more fare revenue. The bigger savings have helped TransLink forego its original plan – opposed by area mayors – to raise property taxes an average of $23 per home. Customer satisfaction ratings are up and complaints are down, McLay said, in part due to fewer SkyTrain system stoppages or bus breakdowns.

B.C.’s carbon Greenhouses got carbon offset cash tax to be frozen Trust’s Lower Mainland projects also suspect: MLA

Jeff Nagel

Tom Fletcher

Black Press

While a damning audit of B.C.’s Pacific Carbon Trust focused on carbon offset spending in far-flung corners of the province, public money from school and hospital budgets also fed projects across the Lower Mainland. And a leading critic of the made-in-B.C. carbon offset strategy says the legitimacy of the local projects is just as questionable as the Darkwoods and Encana offsets B.C.’s auditor general decided were not credible. Bob Simpson, the independent MLA for Cariboo North, says in most cases the recipients either had already decided to spend on upgrades to reduce greenhouse gas emissions before carbon offsets were offered, or likely would have done so in any event. Greenhouses in the Fraser Valley were among the recipients – Quiks Farm in Chilliwack, Randhawa Farms in Abbotsford, Sun Select Farms in Delta and Langley’s Katatheon Farms and Glenwood Valley Farms all got money to subsidize energy efficiency upgrades or to convert from natural gas to wood-waste fuel. “The greenhouses were responding to spikes in natural gas pricing,” Simpson said.

Lafarge’s cement plant in Richmond is one of the region’s biggest carbon-emitters. The entire sector should have been excluded, he argues, because farmers in other jurisdictions were doing the same thing without offset subsidies. Wood fuel was cheaper than natural gas. Wood is offset-eligible because it’s counted as a lower-carbon fuel source – it’s assumed forests regrow and reabsorb carbon, unlike fossil fuels that add incremental new carbon to the atmosphere when burned.

But Simpson contends landfilling wood waste instead of burning it would sequester the carbon in the ground – a more effective choice if greenhouse gases are the overriding concern. Lafarge’s Richmond cement plant, one of the region’s biggest carbon emitters, pledged to burn less coal and more wood waste-derived fuel with the help of an offset-funded retrofit. “Fuel-switching in the

So nice to come home to.

cement sector is a business-asusual practice,” Simpson said. “They’re all scrambling to try to get their energy costs down. It calls into question whether it’s a legitimate offset project.” He said nobody appears to be monitoring Lafarge to ensure the cement plant actually burns the agreed amount of wood. Other recipients included B.C. Transit, which bought hydrogen fuel cell buses for Whistler, and TransLink.

Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake announced last week that a BC Liberal government will freeze B.C.’s carbon tax on fossil fuels at current rates for five years. Government sources said the freeze is to allow other jurisdictions to catch up to B.C., which taxes carbon-dioxide emissions from fossil fuels at $30 a tonne. Former finance minister Carole Taylor introduced the carbon tax in 2008, covering transportation and heating fuel for homes and businesses. The rate rose over four years and was frozen for this year at seven cents per litre of gasoline, with

b r i t i s h

comparable taxes on diesel, coal, natural gas and other fuels. The carbon tax is budgeted to raise $1.2 billion in the fiscal year that began April 1, with all revenues required to be returned through personal and business income tax reductions. B.C.’s carbon tax was a political battleground before the 2009 election, with former NDP leader Carole James campaigning for it to be scrapped. At the 2008 municipal convention in Penticton, when former premier Gordon Campbell announced grants to offset carbon tax costs for towns and cities, James claimed the grants were to placate local politicians who were in open revolt against the tax.

First Nations sign land-transfer agreements with province

Island treaties take step forward Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government moved its decadeslong treaty settlement effort another step forward last month, turning over key Crown properties to two aboriginal communities on southwestern Vancouver Island. Incremental treaty agreements transfer 596 hectares of land southeast of Port Renfrew to the Pacheedaht First Nation, and another 420 hectares near Nitinat Lake to the Ditidaht First Nation. Some of the land can only be transferred when the two communities complete treaties to settle their territorial claims. Chiefs from both communities praised the provincial government for offering the land early, the latest of a series of efforts to speed treaty talks and generate economic activity on reserves. “They are transferring these lands as an act of good faith,” said Pacheedaht First Nation Chief Marvin McClurg. “It

federal government. “Truly this is a beginning of getting some of our land back for the Ditidaht people,” Thompson said. Aboriginal Relations Minister Ida Chong said the first

Recycler proposes less frequent collection

Glass compromise offered Jeff Nagel Black Press

Glass may still be collected from homes at curbside – just less often – after the industry-led agency charged with taking over blue-box recycling proposed a possible compromise. Multi-Material BC still takes the position that glass jars and bottles can’t be mixed in with other blue-box recyclables because they break and contaminate plastic and paper, reducing their value and the odds of the reformed system reaching its diversion goals. It initially wanted to end glass curbside pickup when it starts overseeing local recycling in mid-2014 and have residents bring glass jars and bottles to depots instead – a move Metro Vancouver directors see as an inconvenient and unacceptable reduction in service to residents. But Multi-Material BC (MMBC) chair Allen Langdon suggested to Metro’s zero waste committee that curbside pickup of glass could continue at reduced frequency if it’s not co-mingled with other material. “Maybe once a month and through a separate container,” Langdon said April 4. “Let’s maintain the curbside convenience but let’s address the issue.” He said glass is a small fraction of what would be picked up, so less frequent pickup of that stream is viable. Metro directors are still suspicious – MMBC has yet to revise its plan to include the idea – so they voted to send a letter to the

The future of curbside glass pickup in the region is uncertain. provincial government opposing elimination of glass pickup. Langdon said most glass bottles and jars residents think they’re recycling actually end up broken and landfilled. “It’s one thing to collect this material but we also want to make sure as much gets recycled as possible,” he said. Langdon estimated just 15 per cent of glass gathered through blue boxes is now recycled, and that counts uses such as road aggregate. He said broken glass can increase the risk of worker injury and equipment damage in single-stream recyclable sorting machines used by some cities, such as Surrey. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan called MMBC a “little oligarchy” being set up that ends control of recycling by local cities. “It seems to be an attempt to find a one-model-fits-all solution,” he said, warning it could degrade Metro Vancouver service toward the levels in B.C.’s

more rural regions. Asked by Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac how the new system will benefit municipalities, Langdon said blue box recycling will no longer cost cities and their taxpayers a dime and pledged more types of materials will be recycled than are today. The system is flexible, Langdon said, allowing household-separated systems to continue, and letting cities act as the contractor to provide the service, provided they accept the price to be offered by MMBC. The province has charged MMBC, comprised of retailers and manufacturers, with collecting and recycling all types of packaging and printed paper. It’s hoped packaging will be reduced over time as producers begin to bear the cost of dealing with it. Corinne Atwood, executive director of the B.C. Bottle Depot Association, suggested the province add a refundable deposit to the cost of milk containers and others, including glass containers. She said the recycling rate on those containers would soar with the incentive to bring them to depots for a refund. The province’s position is that a milk container deposit would be a hardship to families. North Vancouver District Coun. Roger Bassam also opposes the idea, saying it further commoditizes the recycling stream – turning it more into a money-making machine for some – rather than keeping the focus on reducing waste and recycling what is left.

Premier criticized for opposing road tolls Jeff Nagel Black Press

Premier Christy Clark’s vow to block new road or bridge tolls is being dismissed as unproductive and perhaps irrelevant by TransLink’s board chair. Nancy Olewiler said Clark’s statement in Langley March 24 rejecting universal road pricing or tolling may pose a barrier to solving TransLink’s long-term funding challenge and expanding the transit system in Metro Vancouver. “We’re going to wait and see whether that kind of statement becomes policy or not,” Olewiler said in a Black Press interview. “We have a current premier who has made an announcement. But that isn’t too helpful in terms of deciding how to move forward.” She made the comments after being asked about TransLink’s plans to rebuild the aging

Pattullo Bridge and whether the replacement will be tolled. Olewiler said that’s one example of why the province needs to reform its current tolling policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure and only if there’s a reasonable free alternative. The provincial tolling policy blocks any move to road pricing, or to apply small tolls to all bridges in the region, as Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has repeatedly proposed. The Port Mann Bridge was tolled on the basis the Pattullo offers a viable free alternative, but critics say that already questionable logic falls apart if both the Pattullo and the Massey Tunnel are also replaced with toll bridges. “Right now, if you have to have a free alternative, I don’t know what the free alternative to the Pattullo would be,” Olewiler said.

“The Alex Fraser? Not so much.

TransLink axes some free passes Jeff Nagel Black Press

The free transit ride for fisheries officers will soon be over. TransLink is weeding out a number of legacy arrangements under which it gave free or heavily discounted passes to various groups. Among those losing privileges are employees of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, who for years were given free TransLink passes but are cut off starting this month. TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said she has no idea

why such a pass ever existed. “Why would fisheries officers have to get on public transit?” she asked. “Aren’t the fish in the ocean?” Also eliminated is a reciprocal deal under which BC Transit employees got to ride TransLink’s system for free and vice-versa. Those are among the first changes in a broader housecleaning of the fare structure coming in the months ahead as TransLink prepares to launch its new Compass card payment system.

will seek to electronically replicate the most commonly used fare types within the new Compass cards. You’ll still be able to buy a month’s worth of transit service at a discount via the card and Olewiler said there will be other “value proposition” discounts for regular users, but prepaid books of paper FareSaver tickets won’t be sold any more. U-Passes will be incorporated within the smart cards, and TransLink will be able to disqualify students who sign up for classes and then cancel them.

What’s old is new again with newest decor trend Refurbishing and repurposing becoming popular practices

that make the big impact.

othing can breathe new life into your home quite like new furniture. Finding the perfect pieces to fit with your home’s decor without having to remortgage your house, however, can be a difficult task. Over the past few years a new trend has been growing on the Peninsula and beyond – homeowners taking old pieces of furniture, refurbishing and repurposing them into something charming and new. According to Melody Jobse, who runs World Serve Thrift on Johnston Avenue, the practice is all about tapping into your creative side. “You can refurbish or repurpose just about anything,” Jobse said. “If you have a teapot without a lid, you can use it as a planter. Or you can string together some old canning jars and put lightbulbs in them for patio lights.”

An old dresser becomes a stylish new piece of furniture after being painted with Cottage Paint. The essence of repurposing and refurbishing, according to Jobse, is finding new uses for old items, and extending an item’s life to its full extent. “Just because we

wouldn’t have a use for something anymore, doesn’t mean somebody else doesn’t,” she said. “Those one-off items often become a treasure for someone else.” › see page 37

Simple ‘shabby-chic’ look › from page 36 Jobse sees dozens of such “treasures” come through the doors at Worldserve Thrift, and said she’s seen an increase in customers – especially college-aged people – searching specifically for things they can repurpose. She notes this new generation of thrift-shoppers have come full-circle from her parents’ and grandparents’ generations, who were natural “repurposers.” “They were never told to recycle, back then,” she explained. “They used an item until its life was done, and then they’d find a new purpose for it. If their clothes were worn out, they would cut it up for patches. “The did it because it was an economic and stewardship issue.” The new wave of repurposing also has an environmental angle to it, Jobse adds. “If there’s something that still has life in it, allowing it to come to a place like this, keeps it out of the landfills,” she said. “We’re using our resources to their maximum capacity.” Even if you feel that you’re lacking in the creativity department, and don’t have a lot of skill with a paintbrush, refurbishing furniture is easy and fun, according to Linda Lock, owner of Cottage Living on Marine Drive. Decorators looking to refurbish old furniture need look no further than Cottage Paint, which Lock says can be used over almost any surface without any prep. “No sanding, no priming, you just need a clean piece of furniture and paint a couple of coats,” Lock said.

Linda Lock sells refurbished pieces, like this chair and table, in her store.

The clay-based paint dries to a silkymatte finish and remains porous, making it easy to sand or wet distress – wiping with a damp cloth when dry – which creates a ‘shabby-chic’ look that is extremely popular for furniture. A clear wax can then be added to offer more protection and an added antiquated look, Lock said. With almost no smell, very little mess and no prep work, Lock said Cottage Paint – which comes in 24 different colours – can transform any old piece of furniture into unique, trendy works of art. If you’re still hesitant to give it a try, Lock offers classes at her White Rock store, from the very basics to more intricate image-transfer refurbishing.

ust off those gardening gloves and dig out your tools – it’s time to get back out into the yard for another season of gardening. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb, or a nervous newbie, knowing the ideal times of the year for certain chores in the yard can help ensure a successful gardening season. The first thing you should do, according to Art Knapp Plantland owner Kerry Vanderzalm, is get rid of any weeds that may have popped up over the fall and winter months, before they get too well-rooted or start to seed. If you have a compost box, turn the ingredients and top-dress your garden with any of your finished compost to get it ready for planting. “It’s a little early to plant most of the annual bedding plants due to frosty nights,” Vanderzalm said. “But there is still time to start some of your own seedlings indoors.” Dahlias, lilies and other perennial bulbs and roots can be planted now, and be sure to prune and deadhead rhododendrons, azaleas, tulips and daffodils once they have finished blooming. When it comes to vegetables, Vanderzalm notes that it is still a bit early for most veggie bedding plants, but you can plant tomatoes and some other hardier vegetables, as long as you protect them from the frost. Garlic, onion sets, asparagus roots and seed potatoes can be planted at this time of year as well. “You can also sow radishes, broad

Lenea Belzer, many homeowners are opting for wallpaper to add a little extra something to a room. “Mostly on feature walls or in powder rooms,” she said, noting that damask patterns are once again dominating the trends. Belzer also suggested homeowners look beyond their walls when considering giving a room a makeover. “You don’t always have to have a white ceiling,” she said. “You can always to a quarter-tint of the colour of your walls, or you can introduce a new colour altogether.”

“We even had a family do their front door in a lime green and it was surprisingly stunning.” McCann also noted that you don’t have to paint an entire feature wall to add a splash of colour to your home. “Although it is not always possible to spend money on new furnishings, I believe it is good for your soul to change it up a bit,” she said. “Paint a wall, a table, a lamp, some picture frames...mix it up with shapes and patterns.” According to Hillcrest Paint’s designer,

f you’ve been contemplating freshening up your home with some fun new colours, this spring is the perfect time to take the plunge, according to colour experts on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Whether you plan to repaint your entire house, or just add a splash of pizzazz to a room, 2013 is the year to go bold, said Lee McCann, of Dulux Paint. “If you stick with trends, 2013 is not the year to shy away from colour,” she said. “It’s go big or go home. If you’ve always wanted to try something different, 2013 is your year.” That doesn’t mean, however, painting your entire kitchen hot pink, she noted. Last year’s trend of neutral with a feature ‘pop’ will carry into this year, but with more unconventional and fun feature colors. “We’re seeing a lot of neutral gray with purple, tangerine or coral, and yellow tones with lime green and teal,” she said.

He’s paid his dues in blue suede shoes. The title of Darren Lee’s autobiography has practically written itself. But the Edmonton-born Elvis tribute artist, who now calls Langley home, has a few more chapters to live, before he finally sits down to pen the story of his life. So far, it is one that’s taken him from chilly northern Alberta to the scorching Nevada desert. And, if all goes as planned, it will carry him to the end of his days in a tropical-island paradise. Before coming to Langley two years ago, Lee spent 11 exhausting years appearing on stage as Elvis in a Las Vegas showroom and performing 50 weddings a month in one of the city’s famous little wedding chapels. And prior to that (in 1997 – on the 20th anniversary of Elvis’ death, in fact) he earned the title of world’s best Elvis tribute artist from among 397 competitors at the Images of Elvis contest in Memphis, Tenn. “It’s now called Ultimate Elvis and it’s a bigger thing.

A new radio station may be on its way for Surrey. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has issued a call for competitors for a proposed new radio station in Surrey, in response to an application for a new Englishlanguage commercial radio station. South Fraser Broadcasting Inc. has applied to the CRTC for a licence to operate a commercial FM radio station in Surrey. But given the congestion on the region’s FM dial, the CRTC has issued a call for other potential applicants. In reviewing the applications, the CRTC will look at diversity in news. It will also consider whether the market can support another FM station. Applicants must make a case that there is both the demand and the market for their proposed new station. Online applications must be received by June 17.

EARTH FRIENDLY JUNK REMOVAL

†

Cloverdale Catholic School is hosting a fundraiser this weekend to help pay for some much-needed renovations at the 57-year-old school. The building, originally constructed in 1955, has served the school community well, and has seen many additions, renovations and upgrades over the years. But even with the generous support of the school families, the building at 17511 59 Ave. is starting to show its age, says principal Jason Borkowski. It’s due for a makeover. “Several areas of the school, most notably washrooms and the school entrance areas, are in dire need of renovation,” Borkowski said in a letter addressed to supporters and potential sponsors of its upcoming Celtic Pub Night fundraiser.

Additionally, the school’s playground equipment is inadequate to deal with the demands of the growing student population. The April 13 dinner and auction is being organized by the school’s parent fundraising group. Chair Jacquie Tomandel says members have been out seeking donations from the community. The list of silent and live auction items ranges from small to large – including holiday excursions up for grabs. The evening’s entertainment includes Irish dancing and live music. Tickets are $30 each. They’re available by calling the school at 604-574-5151. The venue is Precious Blood Parish, 17475 59 Ave. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., and the live auction will start at 8 p.m.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Stars to watch Neither the Surrey Eagles nor Penticton Vees advanced to the Fred Page Cup championship without having some of the top talent in the BC Hockey League. Here are a few players worth keeping an eye on:

Adam Tambellini Surrey Eagles Centre Playoff stats: 11 GP, 9 G, 4 A After being acquired from the Vernon Vipers at the trade deadline, Tambellini has scored at nearly a goal-per-game pace for the Eagles, Adam Tambellini and at six-foot-four, Surrey Eagles the University of North Dakota-bound sniper is tough for opposition defences to handle.

Surrey Eagles will square off against defending champion Vees

Teams ready for Cup battle Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hrough the first few rounds of BC Hockey League playoffs, the Surrey Eagles – like trapeze artists – swung through the competition with the greatest of ease, compiling a near-perfect 10-1 record, including two series sweeps. It gets harder now. Much harder. The Eagles are set to begin the battle for the Fred Page Cup Friday against the Interior Conference champion Penticton Vees, who are the defending BCHL champs and one year removed from a junior-hockey record 41-game winning streak. However, despite sweeping the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in the Coastal Conference finals, Surrey head coach Matt Erhart insists the series was far from easy, and will serve as good preparation for the Vees. “We had two overtime games (against Alberni), one where we won by one (in regulation time) – it was tight every game,” said Erhart, whose team will have had more than a week between games when the finals begin tomorrow. “People have asked me how excited the guys were after

(winning Game 4), and honestly, they were just exhausted. “Playing four games in five nights, they were more tired than anything. I’ve seen them more excited after other games. It was a tight series.” Surrey and Penticton teams had nearly identical records in the regular season, both finishing with 35 wins. Surrey had 78 points to the Vees’ 75 by virtue of playing three more tie games. The two teams met twice during the regular season – both in January – with the Vees winning once in overtime, and Surrey winning the rematch 2-1. “It should be fun. we had a couple of good games against them in the regular season, and we have watched a lot of game film on them already.” said Penticton head coach Fred Harbinson. “It’s always fun when you get down to the final two teams, and it’s a privilege to be able to play in the final.” Compare the two clubs’ rosters, and it gets no easier to separate them, no easier to find one team with a marked advantage over the other. Penticton has two of the league’s top scorers in University of North Dakota-bound Wade Murphy and John › see page 48

Penticton Vees Goaltender Playoff stats: 8-1 (W-L), 2.15 GAA, .926 SV% Katunar has been red-hot for the Vees since playoffs began, and has arguably been the hottest netminder east of Surrey’s Michael Santaguida. Katunar will play at Notre Dame University next season, and if the Vees are to shut down the Eagles’ offense, he’s the key cog in the machine.

Michael Stenerson Surrey Eagles Forward Playoff stats: 11 GP, 6 G, 8 A The 20-year-old Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum is finishing up his final year of junior hockey in style. After scoring 19 goals and 54 points in 55 regular-season games, Stenerson has been one of the Eagles’ top playoff performers, with 14 points. He also scored the series-clinching goal in Round 2.

Louie Nanne Penticton Vees Forward Playoff stats: 9 GP, 5 G, 6A The 18-year-old native of Edina, Minn., who will play NCAA hockey at the University of Minnesota next season, has been on a tear, racking up 11 points in nine playoff games.

Two teams evenly matched

› from page 47 Seimer; Surrey counters with snipers Brady Shaw – a former Vee – and Adam Tambellini, the latter of whom will, as luck would have it, be a teammate of Murphy’s next season at North Dakota. “I feel like we’ve always battled them hard. My old linemate (Shaw) is on that team, so I know them pretty well,” said Siemer. The Vees have one of B.C.’s top offensive defencemen in Troy Stecher, who had 47 points in 52 regularseason games, while the Eagles have puckmoving blue-liners Devon Toews and Craig Wyszomirski, both of whom are key figures in the Eagles’ offensive attack. Neither team can even one-up the other in the playoff-performer category – Penticton’s Louie Nanne, for example, leads the Okanagan team in playoff scoring with 11 points in nine games, despite tallying just 41 regular-season points. His play in the post-season has been just as impressive as that of Surrey forward Michael Stenerson, who – despite occasionally being overshadowed on the Eagles’ roster by Shaw and Tambellini – has six goals and 14 points in just 11 games. And third-liner Nic Pierog has five goals, too – two of them overtime winners against Alberni Valley. “Our top three scorers from the regular season are our top three scorers in the playoffs, so our big guys are playing like big-time players,” Erhart said. “And it’s the same for the other teams’ guys. What makes the difference is when you get contributions from your other guys, from

the Pierogs and Trevor Camerons.” Where the Eagles may have an edge – ever-so-slightly – is in goal, where the red-hot Michael Santaguida has arguably been the league’s best playoff performer. Santaguida has posted three shutouts in 11 games, and a sparkling save-percentage of .956. “I know what they can and can’t do. Their goalie is pretty much what saves them most games,” Seimer said. Santaguida’s counterpart in Penticton, 19-year-old Notre Dame University recruit Chad Katunar, is no slouch either. He’s 7-1 in the post-season and has stopped pucks at a .922 clip. And for those who believe in such things as fate, the Eagles may have another advantage in their quest to claim a BCHL title. The winner of the Fred Page Cup will advance to the Western Canada Cup, in Nanaimo from April 27-May 5, where the B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba champions, along with the host Nanaimo Clippers, will vie for two berths in this year’s Royal Bank Cup, which is being hosted in Summerside, PEI. The first time the Eagles advanced all the way to the Royal Bank Cup, in 1997, the tournament was hosted in Summerside. The last time the Eagles won the Fred Page Cup was in 2005, when they defeated Vernon Vipers in five games. Friday’s puck drop is set for 7:15 p.m. at South Surrey Arena; Game 2 is Saturday at the same time. – with files from Emanuel Sequiera

Bayside’s Spencer Thorpe dives for one of his two tries in last Saturday’s game against the Castaway Wanderers.

Bayside needs points to get out of rugby-league basement

‘Desperation’ time for Sharks Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Prior to last weekend’s game against the Castaway Wanderers, Bayside Sharks premier men’s rugby coach Pat Kearney figured his team needed at least three points from their final four games to move out of last place. “Desperation rugby,” he called it. Now, however, they’ll need a whole lot more. The Sharks, still winless this spring, lost a nail-biter Saturday, 26-25 to the Victoria-based Wanderers, though they did pick up a

vital bonus point in the loss. The team they’re chasing for seventh place, however, had an even better day, as the UBC Old Boys upset James Bay 39-12 in what Kearney called “the upset of the (spring) season.” “We just can’t catch a break,” he said. Now, if the Sharks are to crawl out of eighth and avoid relegation, it will take something of a miracle; they’ll likely need eight points in the next three games, while hoping UBC gets skunked. “That’s a pretty tough task. The

way it is now, it looks like eighth is likely where we’ll finish,” Kearney said. “But stranger things have happened.” The Sharks host James Bay Saturday at South Surrrey Athletic Park. The first-division sides play at 1 p.m., and the premiers follow at 2:45 p.m. A third-division game precedes both contests, when Bayside battles the Brittania Lions at 11:30 a.m. “No matter what, we aren’t about to give up,” Kearney said. “We’re going to work hard and battle until that final whistle.”

Golfer set for Games

A trio of South Surrey golfers owned the podium at Morgan Creek Golf Club last week. In the bantam division of the Maple Leaf Golf Tour’s Kikkor Classic, Taylor Patrick finished first, while Mathew McConnachie and Seo Ho Choi tied for second. All three are junior members at Morgan Creek. Taylor Patrick Patrick, a Grade 9 golfer student at Elgin Park Secondary, won the tournament by seven strokes, finishing the two-round event with a score of 148 (75-73). McConnachie and Choi each shot 155. “It feels great (to win)… and getting the win on my home course makes it that much better,” Patrick said.

1837. A few short days ago, the Ministry of Justice announced that the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) will officially come into force on March 31, 2014. The new laws are aimed at simplifying the process by consolidating several existing acts (namely, the Estate Administration Act, the Wills Act, the Wills Variation Act, and the Probate Recognition Act) into one single comprehensive act. Several noteworthy effects that the introduction of WESA will have: – changing the age at which an individual can write a will by lowering it to 16 years of age; – removing the automatic revocation of a will that occurs when the individual who wrote the will subsequently enters into a marriage; – specifying that the definition of a “spouse” includes same sex partners and common law relationships; – giving testamentary effect to certain electronic documents.

Rest easy as there will be virtually no change in the cost of probate and filing fees. What does this mean for the general public? A will which was written prior to WESA’s implementation date will not be invalidated; however, the rules regarding the interpretation of wills outlined in WESA will apply to ALL wills, including those that were written long before the implementation date. It may be worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the new legislation and to find some time to sit down with a lawyer to ensure that your final wishes will be upheld.

Langley’s Waterstone to release next phase

Appealing to the downsizing market As the baby boomers get older, many of them are looking to find a singlestorey home that they can lock up and leave when they decide to go away for awhile. The newest phase at Langley’s Waterstone, called Esplanade, has been catering to downsizers with spacious floorplans and a vibrant community feel. “These are the largest ever floorplans offered at Waterstone,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International. “It’s also the first lofted product in the area. That loft gives you 100 square feet of extra living space.” Along with that extra space, the homes with lofts will have 14-foot

ceilings. Brown notes that it can be hard for downsizers to move from a larger single-family home to a small condominium, especially when they’ve been there for many years and possibly raised a family. “There’s an emotional connection to your home,” he says. One of the things that he has found downsizing buyers asking for is storage. People accumulate plenty of possessions over the years, and sometimes aren’t ready to part with all of it quite yet. For more information about Esplanade, visit waterstoneliving.ca or call 604-530-5399.

grain cabinets in Wenge veneer, while the Contemporary scheme features polished quartzite countertops and Rift white oak veneer lower cabinets and white lacquered uppers. Moving into the bathroom, you’ll find a space made for peace and quiet. With a deep soaker tub, stylish chrome hardware and a frameless clear tempered glass shower door, you’ll feel like you’re in a spa as soon as you step inside. Homeowners will be able to take advantage of several amenities on-site, including a fitness studio and sauna, an outdoor terrace with plenty of green space, a firepit and children’s play area, and a concierge service. Residents will also have use of a lounge with a kitchen, bar and billiards table. However, it’s the huge lobby that is one of the most impressive things about Vantage. With it’s 20-foot vaulted

ceilings, gorgeous marble floor and oversize chandelier, it’s truly impressive. “The lobby blew me away,” Tayour says. Vantage is perfectly placed within the neighbourhood. With restaurants, transit and shopping on your front steps, you won’t have to travel very far to get what you need. Elementary and secondary schools are nearby, along with the British Columbia Institute of Technology and Simon Fraser University. When you want to head outside, you’ll find plenty to love at Burnaby’s amazing parks, recreational and cultural centres. The premium collection homes start at $599,000 and are ready to move in this spring. For more information, visit vantagebyembassy.com, call 604-294-3339 or visit the sales centre at 1902 Rosser Ave., Burnaby, open daily 12 to 5, except Thursday and Friday.

‘Only new completed development of this level in the area’

Embassy brings amazing Vantage point to Brentwood By Kerry Vital

Embassy Developments brings sophisticated style to North Burnaby with the premium collection homes at Vantage, its modern high-rise tower in Brentwood that is becoming an integral part of the skyline. “This is a small collection of boutique luxury homes,” says sales manager Muna Tayour. “They’re really, really spectacular.” With penthouse-style finishings and spacious floorplans, the premium twobedroom homes at Vantage are made for elegance. “This level of finishing is far superior” to anything else on the market, Tayour says. “This is the only new completed development of this level in the area.” Embassy is owned by Ryan Bosa, son of real estate legend Nat Bosa. The Bosa name is well-known for high-quality homes, and Tayour says this has had an effect on buyers at Vantage.

“Being familiar with the developer is very important in purchasing,” she says. “People are confident with Ryan and the Embassy name.” Indeed, Bosa started Embassy in 2003 and has since continued his father’s legacy for impressive projects. This is readily apparent in the premium collection homes, which are located on the 23rd floor and higher in the 33-storey building, so the views are spectacular. Each two-bedroom home comes with a spacious balcony to give you ample outdoor living space to entertain or relax. The huge windows bring the outdoors inside, highlighting the nine-foot ceilings that add to the airiness of your home. The two-bedroom floorplans average 1,150 square feet, so there is no shortage of space. In fact, Vantage is the only tower in the neighbourhood that offers such large suites. The two-bedroom homes are one-of-a-kind, and perfect for homeowners looking for the space of a penthouse but with the price of a condo. When it comes to making your home your own, you are able to choose between two colour schemes, Classic and Contemporary. In the kitchen, you’ll find full-size stainless-steel appliances and a fullheight stone backsplash. The Classic colour scheme comes with granite countertops and horizontal wood

Vantage by Embassy Development is the only new-construction high-rise in Brentwood that can offer spacious two-bedroom homes with the feel of a penthouse. With gourmet kitchens, above, and an open floorplan with expansive windows, top, Vantage is perfect for those looking for an impressive home at a great price.
