Chemicals, explosives found in White Rock suite in January 2013: RCMP

Charges dropped after year in custody Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The case against a man who was accused of making or possessing explosives in White Rock has been dropped. Crown prosecutor Janet Dickie confirmed that a 10-day trial that was scheduled to get underway this week in regards to the charges against Hamish Norman Sutherland was

called off earlier this month – more than a year after his arrest. Sutherland was released earlier this month. “After a careful review of the police investigation, we were not in a position to proceed with the substantive charges,” Dickie told Peace Arch News Tuesday. Dickie declined to elaborate, however, Neil MacKenzie – communications counsel for

the Criminal Justice Branch – said the decision related to a police search of a White Rock residence in connection with the file. It was carried out in late January 2013 following an anonymous tip about chemicals in a Prospect Avenue apartment that may pose “a significant risk to public safety.” The search was executed by firefighters and police teams including the Explosive

Disposal and Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear Response Unit. “Due to the perceived urgency in the situation, the police initially searched the apartment involved without a warrant,” MacKenzie said. “Although the police did later obtain a warrant, it was only after the apartment had been subject to some degree of searching. i see page 4

Surrey borrowed $97m for building

Cost of city hall nears $150 million Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey’s new city hall is going to cost taxpayers almost $150 million by the time the city has finished paying for it. The new 180,000-sq.-ft. building at 13450 104 Ave., complete with marble walls and stone-tile floors, opened this week. Civic officials have said the price tag for the new space is $97 million. That figure included a $10-million contingency fund, but Black Press has learned that has been spent. In addition, Surrey paid another $2.5 million to turn council chambers into a dual-purpose performing-arts space by adding catwalks. That brings the total construction cost to $99.5 million. However, Surrey borrowed $97 million from the Municipal Financing Authority, a lending agency for cities. Two mortgages were taken over 25-year terms; the first $52 million is financed at 4.9 per cent, while the remaining $45 million is being financed at 2.9 per cent. That makes the annual interest payments on those loans $1.936 million. Over the 25-year term of the mortgages, Surrey will have paid $48.4 million in interest, bringing the total cost of Surrey’s new city hall to $147.9 million. Construction costs for an outdoor civic plaza ($9 million) and a parking facility ($32 million)

are being shared by the City Centre Library and the 3 Civic Plaza hotel, and are not included in the $150-million price tag. Mayor Dianne Watts said Wednesday that the parkade will be paid for through parking fees, and the plaza will be funded by the city’s development arm, the Surrey City Development Corp. Watts noted it’s important for the city to invest where it is asking others to. She said the city has attracted $3 billion in private-sector investment since announcing the hall. B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation Jordan Bateman said it’s impossible to say how much of that investment actually came about because of the new city hall. He noted Surrey had already built a public library at the site, which could have served as the city’s commitment to the area. Watts noted the cost of the new city hall will be offset by the leasing of the old city hall in Newton. However, as of yet, no one has committed to occupying that building, which is now largely empty. The mayor said the province has expressed interest in leasing 45,000 sq. ft. of the old building, but there are no immediate plans in place. Even if the city rented out the entire facility, the annual income from the lease would be $2 million – just enough to cover interest on the loans for the new building.

However, investors have put a lot of money into highrises in that area; the province has invested in SkyTrain and the university campus; and the city has invested in a new library, community centre, Holland Park and now the city hall. It all adds up. Does Surrey need a city centre? Yes it does, if it is to take its place as B.C.’s largest city sometime in the next 30 years or so. A city centre needs to be on a rapid transit line. It needs to have significant cultural facilities, as well as a lot of living space. It needs to be business-friendly. It needs a local government to recognize all these factors and do what it can to encourage development in that direction. There is no shortage of challenges in the city centre area, among them social problems such as drug addiction, crime and homelessness. The city needs to have a workable strategy to deal with these issues as well. Surrey is quite capable of turning Whalley into Surrey City Centre, but it will require an unwavering commitment from council, city staff and residents. That, in turn, requires strong leadership from the mayor, business leaders, educators and support from the federal and provincial governments. “The future lives here” – but it requires strong commitment to make it happen.

Tax paperwork change boosts 91-year-old’s expenses by nearly $50 a month

Retirees look for answers to rent bump Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A White Rock woman is searching for answers after her elderly mother’s care-home costs spiked without explanation. Lolo Young’s 91-year-old mother, Ning Hsiang Kuo, who resides at Rosewood Manor in Richmond, pays a monthly rate based on the net income reported on her tax returns from the previous year. But in early 2013, Young – who looks after her mother’s finances – received a T5007 tax slip for the provincial seniors supplement for the previous taxation year. Through this supplement, Kuo receives $49.30 a month. The supplement is provided to low-income seniors as a provincial top-up to the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and ensures a “conditionally guaranteed minimum income level for residents of B.C.” After filing the supplement with her mother’s 2012 income-tax return, Young told Peace Arch News she was shocked to discover Kuo’s

annual net income increased to $15,928, resulting in a nearly $50 monthly increase for care-home costs. “My parents have been receiving this supplement for decades; why is it only now that they are issuing a tax slip? Why did you not do that in the past? And if it was a mistake in the past and you’re correcting it now, you need to inform people,” she said. Finance ministry official Glenn Plummer told PAN it’s possible that Young’s mother was missed in the past by the Canada Revenue Agency, and he referred questions to them. CRA information officer Heidi Hofstad confirmed the T5007 slip is not new. “The income shown on the T5007 slip is not taxable, but recipients must include the amounts in calculating net income on their T1 income tax and benefit return,” she said. Hofstad said Young would need to contact the provincial government for further information regarding the seniors supplement. Young – a chartered general accountant

Lolo Young and mother Ning Hsiang Kup. – noted she is concerned for other seniors, who may not have filed the slip because they didn’t know what it was for. Adding to her frustration is the lack of explanation from the province for the sudden change. While Young noted Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg was receptive and met to discuss her situation in early Decem-

ber, there has been no movement since. “This is supposed to be urgent,” she said. “I don’t see why this is taking so long.” Hogg would not comment on Young’s situation specifically, citing confidentiality issues, but said that in general it can take time when dealing with multiple ministries. “Any time we get any issues that are complex, we obviously try to follow through with them,” he said. “Often the information that we get coming in is not consistent with what the records show and what the ministry provides to us, so in those instances, we have to try and work through the discrepancies.” But for every month that goes forward, Young – who is also retired and supplementing her mother’s cost of living with her own RRSPs – is forced to pay the extra $49.30. Vancouver Coastal Health media relations officer Anna Marie D’Angelo told PAN that someone would be contacting Young and noted that if a mistake had been made, the error would be corrected.

Seniors complex set to break ground

Mid-rise on track after 7-year hiatus Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

As White Rock council prepares to make a decision on whether an eight-storey complex-care facility will be built at 1550 Oxford St., proponents of a luxury seniors’ residence planned for a few blocks east in South Surrey are gearing up to start building. “It’s going to be fabulous for the seniors of South Surrey,” Judy Freeman, executive vice-president and chief executive officer at PrimeTime Living, said of Abby Lane Retirement Residence. Construction on Abby Lane – also eight-storeys – has been on hold for nearly seven years. Freeman confirmed last week that work is back on track. “It is underway. It’s not a shovel in the ground or a tree coming down at this moment but it is underway,” Freeman told Peace Arch News. The move follows the final adoption in December of necessary zoning and Official Community Plan amendments for three lots, at 15285, 15291 and 15321 16 Ave. The project was originally described as a 200-unit strata and rental complex. It was to be the first building in Surrey to exceed the city’s four-floor cap – something residents of the day strongly

opposed. According to minutes of Surrey’s Dec. 16 land-use meeting, the rezoning permits an eight-storey, mixed-use complex comprising a retirement and independent-living facility, medical offices and limited retail space. On PrimeTime Living’s website, Abby Lane is described as “the utmost in luxury and services… designed for the discerning, independent senior.” It is to include an in-house theatre, luxurious private suites, scheduled activities and onsite professional services such as medical, dental and physiotherapy. Freeman said she would elaborate next month on exactly what the facility will look like. She cited the lead-up to the 2010 Olympics as explanation, in part, for the project’s years-long delay. “The cost of construction went through the roof,” Freeman said. “Then after that, we hit the economic wall, which stopped all business in Canada.” She said the PrimeTime Living team is “extremely excited” about finally being able to move ahead. “We just want to make sure that this is going to be the right thing, that it’s going to be done the right way.”

Ex-boyfriend to stand trial The ex-boyfriend of slain Surrey student Maple Batalia has been ordered to stand trial for firstdegree murder in connection with the teen’s shooting death in 2011. The trial for Gurjinder (Gary) Dhaliwal and co-accused Gursimar Sing Bedi – charged with manslaughter with a firearm and accessory after the fact – was ordered

after a preliminary hearing of the evidence in Surrey Provincial Court, which ended Monday. There is a publication ban on evidence at preliminary hearings. Batalia, 19, was attending SFU Surrey when she was gunned down Sept. 28, 2011 in the parkade outside the university in Central City. The next court date is April 17.

The task force also discussed the issue of dangerous goods being transported along the local line. Robinson said the issue has grown from trains pulling three or four cars with such products to their entire load being compromised of the likes of crude oil. The group resolved to ask council to direct staff to discuss with Transport Canada and railway owner BNSF the feasibility of piloting a system that would provide pre-information on trains pulling such loads to the city’s fire chief.

No rush to judgment

n a perfect world, last week’s court decisions relating to two tragic motor vehicle accidents might fall short of the mark. This, of course, is not a perfect world. If it were, we would never have lost White Rock’s Marilyn Laursen to a pedestrian hit-andrun during an uptown high-speed police pursuit. And we would never have lost South Surrey’s Jim Neiss to a head-on collision with a speeding dump truck on 16 Avenue. All we can settle for, in our imperfect world, is ensuring those responsible for their deaths are suitably held responsible. In the first case, prosecutor Steven Black last week told Judge Paul Dohm in a preliminary hearing that the Crown would not proceed on a charge of dangerous driving causing death against White Rock Const. David Bickle. Before judging the decision ourselves, it’s significant to note that fleeing driver Kyle Brandon Danyliuk – the one who actually struck and killed Laursen – has admitted to his crime and is now serving a two-year sentence. It’s also significant to note that an independent Vancouver Police Department investigation alleged the officer’s “actions and failure to follow the numerous federal and provincial guidelines regarding pursuit driving” contributed to Laursen’s death. But perhaps what might be most significant is that Bickle will still go to trial on a second, lesser charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm – the result of injuries sustained by the driver of another car struck during the pursuit. If the officer did indeed commit an infraction, he will ultimately be held responsible – but with lesser consequences. In the second case last week, the same judge handed a 14-month jail sentence to Glen Edward Theriault, driver of the truck that crossed a double-yellow line and smashed into Neiss’s SUV. While Theriault’s lawyer argued that imprisoning the 65-year-old would not serve anybody – least of all Theriault and his family – Dohm ruled that the sentence had to be enough to “strongly denounce” reckless behaviour. Both of these cases hinge on apparent errors in judgment that had fatal consequences. It’s true the potential severity of punishment in each case is not likely to please everyone. Some might even denounce our justice system for giving what they perceive as mere slaps on the wrist for those who break the rules. But if the outcomes gives pause to anyone likely to make similar mistakes, the cause of justice – however imperfectly – will have been served.

Among my vivid childhood memories of the laundry process was an occasion when a particular washing day coincided with my father fertilizing the field next to the clothesline – with chicken manure. When ma went out to gather in her nicely dried laundry, it had been deeply infused with the odour of ripe chicken dung. Back into the washing machine went the entire batch. Some heated words were directed toward the man on the tractor who narrowly avoided getting pinned up on the clothesline himself by the irate laundry lady. I think there was some farming-versusdomestics policy established at that point to govern my father’s activities, since of course, there was no app to monitor what he was up to at any given point in time. On the other hand, I’m certain my mother felt no need to know his moment by moment pursuits, other than when he was out playing with chicken poop. There were many aspects of life for which we didn’t feel the need for constant updates. I remain of that mindset today. Refrigerator reporting in, sir! All cool here! Nice… punning kitchen appliances. Boss? Teddy the Toilet here. OK, don’t go there! (Hah, I can pun too.) We surround ourselves with mega terrabytes of information – enough to make one’s brain gag.

Rekindle the spirit of 2010 Editor: Where have all the Canadians gone? In my travels around White Rock and South Surrey, I am dismayed at not seeing a single person wearing any Olympic clothing or carrying a Canadian flag. Remember 2010, when the entire community got into the Olympic spirit? It is our duty to support our Canadian athletes, and doing so means even more to our athletes than any medals. Let’s get together and celebrate every Olympics. Peter Davies, Surrey

There to serve, not to take Editor: When one runs for council, it should be from the perspective of public service – that is, a servant of the citizens of White Rock. These local positions are meant to serve the community, not “jobs” that one should expect and seek pay increases for after being elected. These are pay increases that come from the pockets of White Rock homeowners who are already overtaxed from all three levels of governance to an extreme degree. Did these council members put: “I will seek a pay increase if elected” in their election platform? Voting on your own pay increase is a bad joke. Shame on council for having the nerve to do so. As well, I am shocked there are no clear and firm ethical boundaries set on who can run for council. There should be strict ethical qualification rules which prevent local business representatives from running for council, particularly when their businesses stand to gain from being on council, whether by direct or indirect influence. The structure of the council must be such that it leaves no doubt in the minds of the community that its council members are looking out for the best interests of the community and not feathering their own nests in any way. The makeup of council should be such that it does not allow grounds for even the perception that the self-interests of a business owner may be overriding what is in the community’s best interests. The current practice of a business owner/council member not taking part in a vote that impacts their business is a shamefully inadequate measure of community protection. The lack of ethical regulation for our council operations is a hazard of significance the community – and its council – must act upon to ensure the community comes first, always. To restore ethical legitimacy, council has to roll back their selfvoted pay increase until the next election and declare such intentions in their election platform. (Editor’s note: The pay increase – of about $3,000 for each councillor

and $14,000 for the mayor – was finalized last November and is to take effect in January 2015.) I highly doubt if they would be re-elected. And while they are doing that they can also revise the budget so as to provide a zero per cent increase in 2014 property taxes. When was the last time there was actually a reduction of the unsustainable burden being placed on White Rock homeowners? David Bradshaw, White Rock

Better ways to get ship shape An open letter to a survey on the BC Ferries service. I just completed a survey that asked if I had used the BC Ferries to a list of destinations in the last three months. The answer was “none of the above.” You ought to be asking if I ever travel by ferry to anywhere. The answer is very infrequently, perhaps twice in 10 years. My wife and I were residing in Prince George four years ago, and ferries to there via the Fraser River are nonexistent. Now back in the Lower Mainland, we were looking forward to travelling by ferry for free, but that has been denied now.

We are in our 70s, so very much doubt ferry travel will be on our agenda now you have made it harder for us to afford to travel. You should be asking the folks who have a need to use ferries what they think about the cuts and increased fares. Have you considered that cutting service and raising the price of fares reduces the number passengers, and that your revenues will suffer still further? The number of tourists will also decline. Communities will shrink when residents and businesses move away. Years ago, I was a retail store manager and, when I took over the position, I discovered the business was steadily losing money and in a few years would fail. I looked over the business and saw immediately that it was poorly laid out. With the help of the employees, that was soon changed. The staff woke up and began taking a greater interest in what they were doing. I looked at the cost of doing business and searched for ways to improve efficiency. I did not reduce service or the staffing level; in fact, more staff were employed at seasonably busy times. I took a searching look at the price we charged for our products and services. After reducing operating costs by 0.5 per cent and raising gross profits by 0.5 per cent, one

year later we were back in the black, running – dare I use the simile – a happy ship with a busy and enthusiastic crew. Anyway, I very much doubt anyone will pay any attention to my opinion, so I don’t know why I bother giving one. Reg Sutton, Surrey

What began on public green space as a tribute to Adrian Bilodeau’s late father has become a community garden.

Don’t let ignorance deter tribute Editor: I wish to express my dismay and horror at the recent destruction of the kneeling Inukshuk that used to grace the memorial garden along 156 Street, between 24 Avenue and King George Boulevard. This figure regularly clasped seasonal flowers – either fresh or, during winter months artificial – in its arms. Over the Christmas period, it held a small Christmas tree. To the ignorant and thoughtless individual(s) who perpetrated this wanton act of destruction, I ask you to

consider just how ashamed your families would be if they knew of your actions. To the gentleman who has lovingly created and maintained this garden and its stone figure, I assure you that your efforts have brought pleasure to hundreds of your neighbours in the area. Please don’t let the thoughtless actions of a pathetic few deter you from continuing your garden memorial to your father. Joan Cosford, Surrey

Surrey widower had sought diamond’s return

Ring lawsuit dropped Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A 65-year-old Surrey widower who sued his former fiancée last week to try to get a $228,000 engagement ring back has now abandoned his lawsuit. The B.C. Supreme Court suit – filed Feb. 14 – indicated that Jerry Renkers began dating 31-year-old UBC student Jessica Miller about a year before proposing to her in January. The two met through dating website establishedmen.com four months after Renkers’ wife of 25 years passed away. However, after Renkers’ story went public this week, his lawyer contacted media to say the legal action had been discontinued. She provided no further details and wouldn’t say whether a settlement had been reached. The now-abandoned lawsuit indicated Renkers feared his former fiancée would sell the diamond ring and argued that he should get it back

Falling loonie leading to less U.S. shopping: poll

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Fundraiser aims to bring in $25,000 in order to reboot Sources Rent Bank

Warm hearts needed for Coldest Night Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

t’s the ‘Coldest Night of the Year’ this Saturday – but event co-organizer Judy Peterson is hoping that warm hearts on the Semiahmoo Peninsula will generate enough capital through the White Rock charity walk to reboot the Sources Rent Bank. “We’re doing really well,” Peterson said. “Our goal is $25,000 and, as of last weekend we already have $19,000.” This year’s walk is the White Rock debut of an event started in Ontario four years ago by Blue Sea Philanthropy Foundation, and all proceeds from pledges and donations will go to Sources’ rent bank. Through small loans to cover upcoming rent bills, rent arrears and Hydro bills, the bank has helped 176 low-income clients out of emergency situations since 2011. “That’s helped keep housing, kept the lights on and kept a roof overhead for about 400 people,” said Peterson, who has been team leader for the project since it was first instigated by Susan Keeping through the Newton Advocacy Group. She’s currently handing over the reins to her successor, Bruce Foster – (“he’s really great with people,” she said) – but the rent bank has been in a holding pattern, seeking new sources of income, since June of last year. Although the bank has a good repayment rate of 66 per cent on its two-year-term, no-interest loans, the monthly income from repayments is only enough to keep the office functioning, Peterson said. “We’re really a referral agent,” she said, adding that part of the service is educational and helping to identify other sources of help for clients in potential crisis – but the rent bank, which receives no ongoing funding from any level of government, would love to be in a position to help out again directly, through further loans to qualified applicants. That’s where the Coldest Night of the Year comes in, and Peterson said there are still plenty of opportunities for people to get involved, either through pledges, registering themselves and/or forming their own teams, or simply donating. The event starts with registration at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Sources main office at 822 Maple St., with the walk itself at 5 p.m. There are three courses – 2 km, 5 km and 10 km – travelling the promenade and winding up through White Rock,

“And it’s going to be a dry night.” Coldest Night events are typically held to benefit the homeless Peterson said, and when Sources originally contacted Blue Sea Philanthropy there were some initial misgivings about helping the rent bank. “They said ‘what has this got to do with

homelessness?’” she said. “We told them this was all about ‘homelessness prevention’ and that was all it took – they got it.” With all due respect to those who believe there is no such thing as homelessness in the supposedly affluent Semiahmoo Peninsula community – or that the cure, even if it does exist, is to ‘get a job’ – Peterson said the relative invisibility of the problem often has a lot to do with the pride of people who have been contributing members of society. When she appeared as a delegation before White Rock council to publicize the Coldest Night of the Year recently, she noted, councillors wanted to know how many homeless there are in the community. The answer, as near as can be determined by Sources workers and community volunteers, is around 50. Not all of them will be seen on the streets or in the coldweather shelters, Peterson says – many of them are ‘couching’ with friends and family. But many others with a roof over their heads – including seniors and the disabled living on fixed incomes, longtime workers who have been laid-off or are battling health challenges or abuse situations, and increasingly squeezed middle class wageearners, often with children – can be only one or two financial crises away from homelessness. For these, the continued existence of a rent bank offers a vital source of hope, Peterson said. But the bank – set up with help from the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Fund and ongoing contributions from VanCity and Envision – is far from a dispensary of free cash, she notes. Applicants for what Peterson terms ‘micro-loans’ (the largest ever has been $1,600) have to qualify under established guidelines for low income, they can’t be alcohol or drug dependent (an area requiring a whole other level of assistance), and the rent bank – like any other bank– is looking for evidence of overall stability and a good likelihood that the applicant can repay the loan over the two year term. “We have to weigh the social good with our ability to keep going,” she said. For more information on the rent bank, contact Bruce Foster at 604-542-4357, 604547-1023 or bfoster@sources.ca For more information on how to contribute to the Coldest Night of the Year, visit www.coldestnightoftheyear.com and select White Rock from the directory.

Projects focus on health, education and sanitation. Peace Arch Rotary and Semiahmoo Rotary clubs – which have both been involved with the Global Wheelchair Program for years – are joining forces to make a huge impact in Mexico. Internationally, Semiahmoo Rotary’s focus is working with people in the Jereme region of Haiti. For more than 10 years, the club has supported roadbuilding, housing, healthcare services and, most recently, a concentration on the agricultural food-supply chain.

For example, training beekeepers to increase pollination will create surpluses for market. At the same time, they support individuals with hand-grinding mills so they can use their crop surplus for retail sales. Rotarians regularly go to Haiti to check on projects. They are going so well, the original beekeeping budget can be re-allocated to training and supplies. The next stage, when honey yields are sufficient, will be to support a facility for export. From small building blocks, big things can grow. South Surrey Rotary – with

The project builds on Rotary’s themes of sanitation, conflict prevention and disease prevention. It includes hygienerelated renovations, supply and installation of the waterharvesting system, improvements to sanitary capacity and supply of furniture. Secondary goals include training to provide opportunities for orphans to contribute. They will benefit significantly with improved hygiene education, providing a safer, more comfortable environment. All proceeds from club’s annual “Fool’s Night Out” on April 5, will support the Cambodia Orphanage Project.

PLUMBING & HEATING INC.

Names such as Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons are sadly well-known to many Canadians. Both teens committed suicide after years of bullying at the hands of classmates. On Feb. 26, Canadians will recognize Pink Shirt Day, a day devoted to preventing bullying and helping children and teens who are being victimized. For some people, bullying hits very close to home. Tad Milmine, now an RCMP constable, is one of them. As a child, Milmine was bullied relentlessly by classmates and locked in the basement by his stepmother every day for 12 years. His father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even when Milmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stepmother verbally abused him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always held out hope that one day an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rescueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;saveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; me,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one ever came.â&#x20AC;? At 17, Milmine ran away from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother. Still, he struggled with being extremely introverted and emotional. While he had dreamed of being a police officer for much of his life, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel confident enough to act on that dream. At 33, he finally felt able to take that step and do what he loved after

encouragement from an officer he met while playing baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never acted on my dream because I truly believed it was just TAD MILMINE a dream,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that dreams werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to be achieved.â&#x20AC;? Milmine was moved by the 2011 suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, who killed himself after years of bullying for being gay and a figure skater, to start Bullying Ends Here, a website that tells Hubleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story as well as his own. Milmine has travelled all over Canada and the U.S. speaking to students and encouraging them to contact him if they need help. In the presentations, he shares his own story and that of Hubley, and tells the students that he understands what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be an outcast, and that he too is gay, just like Hubley. He shares this information to point out that he is no different than the people listening to him in the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never let my sexuality stand in the way of living out a dream,â&#x20AC;? Milmine says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never let the negativity while growing up stand in my way.â&#x20AC;? Milmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentations are done on his own time and with his own money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;helpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people and today I am lucky enough to be in that position,â&#x20AC;? says

Milmine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth need to know that nobody can help them if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak up. You have to share, have to ask for help. Give us a chance to help.â&#x20AC;? Sixty-four per cent of Canadian children have been bullied at school at some point, according to the Pink Shirt Day campaign, and 40 per cent of Canadian employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pink Shirt Day gets people talking,â&#x20AC;? Milmine says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are talking about it leading up to it, and on the day itself. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to talk about why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing a pink shirt that day, and youth are reminded of the resources available to them.â&#x20AC;? Pink Shirt Day was started in Nova Scotia by two teenage boys who, after seeing another male student bullied for wearing a pink shirt, decided to gather their friends and all wear pink to school. CKNW AM 980 was inspired by their action, and since 2007 has raised over $650,000 for antibullying programs in B.C. through the sale of their pink shirts. You can purchase your own shirt at London Drugs or online. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign is being presented by Coast Capital Savings, with Black Press as a media partner. For more information about Pink Shirt Day, visit www.pinkshirtday.ca. Milmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website can be found at www.bullyingendshere.ca.

The website and smartphone app Ask.fm is a socialnetworking site where people can ask other users questions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely popular with pre-teens and teens, but recently it has become well-known for facilitating cyber-bullying instead. It has been referenced in several suicide cases around the world as part of the bullying the victim experienced that led to their suicide. The biggest issue with Ask.fm is that questions can be submitted anonymously, and content is not monitored, so abuse of the service can be rampant with no repercussions to the user. Even if someone is blocked, that person can still view profiles and see other interactions, and privacy settings cannot be increased as they can on Facebook and Twitter. According to RCMP Const. Tad Milmine, the Latvia-based website also sends daily spam with messages suggesting users kill themselves and calling them ugly, among others, with no name attached. Parents are urged to monitor all social media accounts and talk to their children about their online activities in an effort to prevent cyberbullying, and remember that the terms of service of Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm require users to be at least 13.

Morgan Elementary PAC reaches fundraising goals

Playground construction begins Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Members of Morgan Elementary’s Parent Advisory Committee are celebrating after reaching their fundraising goal of $125,000 in order to build a new playground. Spearheaded by Andrea Janssen and Kym Parsons, the PAC was determined to build a new playground after an influx of students at the elementary had forced school officials to split the 372 students in shifts in order to play on the apparatus. After inquiring about pricing with the four playground companies approved by the school district, Parson and Janssen began contacting local developers and businesses for donations. Many of the developers – including smaller operations – donated funds, acknowledging that future residents who would move into the homes they were building would likely use the park, Janssen said. “It’s going to be open for everyone,” she said Thursday.

“It’s not just for the students. We have soccer teams and other sports teams that use the field on the weekend, as well. It’s definitely going to be popular this summer.” The school also raised a record $23,000 at their annual fall social – largely due to local businesses donating a number

of items for the silent auction. But then, with only $25,000 to go, the PAC was stuck on ideas to raise more money. “We couldn’t go back to the parents and ask for more. There is a limit,” Janssen laughed. After reaching out to Morgan Creek Golf Course – which had previously donated funds for the school’s first playground – Janssen and Parson received a

very pleasant surprise. “(Company president) Geoff Barker asked us ‘How much do you need?’ Janssen said. “It was just like that. And they donated the remaining $25,000. It was incredible.” After researching 14 local playgrounds to see what features the children would want most, Parsons worked with the playground designer to get the project started. One unusual factor: the playground will feature a rainbow colour scheme. “The kids picked it out,” Parson laughed. And, more importantly, the playground will be built low in order to accomodate handicapped students, she added. Construction crews have already begun breaking ground on the playground site, and on March 1-2, the parents will put the playground together, followed by an inspection from the school district. The PAC aims to have the playground open and ready for students in early April.

South Surrey teen to star in television series

Taking The Next Step Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

Contributed photo

Zac Vran with Alexandra Beaton in scenes from The Next Step.

YOUR FRASER VALLEY DEALERSHIP

e’s come a long way from Oliver! South Surrey dancer/ actor Zac Vran was only 11 when he appeared in the Vancouver Playhouse production of the Lionel Bart musical in 2007. As ‘Harry’ he was just one of a group of boys – even with his own solo moment in Consider Yourself. But the self-assurance he possessed when interviewed for Peace Arch News then – and all the hard work he has done since – are elements of his current success as a cast member of the Canadianproduced breakaway TV hit The Next Step, in which he works closely with established leads Victoria Baldessara (Michelle) and Alexandra Beaton (Emily). And it’s a good bet a lot of friends from Earl Marriott Secondary, former training mates from Spiral Dance and members of his hip-hop crew, Freshh, will be tuning in when Vran, now 17, makes his debut on the show, which begins airing its second season Friday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m. on Family Channel. In the continuing drama, following teen dance team the A-Troupe – based in the mythical The Next Step studio – team members have just won a regional championship and

must face their own ‘next step’: the realization they must audition with hopefuls from other studios to make the national team. “The buildup is toward the national competition and the trials and tribulations leading up to that competition,” Vran explained. Enter Vran, as aspiring hip-hop dancer Hunter. “Hunter comes from Michelle’s past, and they do reconnect in a sort of way,” he said. “You can expect fireworks when they first meet.” As he describes him, Hunter has a certain volatility. “He’s a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve,” he said. “If he feels you’re a threat to him, he’s going to confront you. He can’t ignore his thoughts, his feelings and his emotions, and that doesn’t lay too well with some of the other characters.” For Vran, joining the series for season 2 (shot in Toronto from June to September of last year) was an intriguing challenge. “What’s interesting about the show is that it’s labelled as ‘fake reality,’” he said. “The scenes are scripted, but it’s really a skeleton of a script. The way a scene moves and flows is something we determine through improvisation. And when we go back and fill out scenes we have to replicate whatever we did in the

improvisation. It’s quite different from other kinds of acting.” One thing that isn’t fake is the dancing talent of the ensemble cast, said Vran, who followed up an audition tape by flying out to Toronto for live auditions with 15 others vying for roles in the second season. Fortunately, Vran already has a wealth of experience to draw on, including his work with Freshh – who placed second on Canada’s Got Talent in 2012 – and sharing stages with such performers as Shawn Desman, Hedley, Mariana’s Trench and Victoria Duffield. “The first thing the producers and directors looked for is the ability to dance. There’s no faking – there’s no way they could fake it.” Vran said he’s grateful for the help of other cast members, particularly Baldessara and Beaton, with whom he is most frequently teamed in duo numbers in the show. “They’re extremely professional,” he said. “I was coming on set as one of the new people and they were experienced as regulars from the first season, but they knew when to push and when to reserve energy and they were amazing in the way they helped me. They’re not only amazing dance partners, they’re great mentors.” Just as the dancers in the show’s i see page 18

Support i from page 17 storyline bond, and learn to work their way around differences, Vran has become close with fellow members of the ensemble including Trevor Tjordman (James) and Lamar Johnson (West). The only regret Vran has about the season launch is that he won’t be able to share the planned red-carpet reception in Toronto with his friends on The Next Step. But that’s because he has a performing commitment in Seattle with Freshh – he continues to be a dedicated member of that team, too. “I could never be what I am today without who I’ve worked with – my roots with Freshh, and also Spiral Dance. A huge portion of my training came from Spiral Dance. (Spiral director) Loretta Sramek is the most supportive person I’ve known outside of my family. “I never expected such support from friends at Marriott – they got right behind the dance and the acting. “I’m blessed. I’ve worked hard and put a lot of training into my craft, but to have this level of support is wonderful.”

MAPLE LEAF DIAMONDS

TRUE CANADIAN TREASURES

If you’re looking for a vast selection from the world’s finest jewellery brands, look no further than Rochells Jewellers in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Celebrating 10 years of providing customers with the largest variety of fine jewellery and watches, the knowledgeable team at Rochells is always striving to find the perfect piece, no matter what you’re looking for. “Our mission is to provide our customer the latest in Amin and Fal jewellery design along with the world’s best jewellery brands right here in sunny White Rock. I have never lost sight of that,” say the owner, Mr. Amin Dhanani, beaming with pride. “This year we introduced the Pulse Diamond Pendant during Valentines and our customers have absolutely loved its innovative design concept; the diamond is set so that it pulsates and shimmers with every beat of her heart. It’s absolutely gorgeous and so different! Early last year we saw that Micheal Kors fashion watches were highly sought after and so we brought them in. Our customers really appreciate that they don’t have to travel to buy the best in Jewellery. Swarovski, PANDORA, Tissot, Movado, Gucci and Maple Leaf Diamonds are just a few of the other world class brands that are available in our cases along with a full collection of bridal engagement rings with certified Canadian Diamonds.” When you can’t find the jewellery you want in the showcase, Rochells will work one on one with you to create that custom, personalized piece you have always wanted. We know that there is uncertainty about having something made on faith, but we have the best guarantee in the world: simply that when we are done, you are happy…no fine print. Meet with any of our senior staff to put your ideas to paper, focus your ideas and create sketches that will be brought to our goldsmith. Based on your specifications, Rochells will provide an estimate for the work, as well as a 3-dimensional wax rendition. Rochells also offers expert jewellery repairs, from simple ring sizing to restoring a cherished family heirloom. Each job is treated equally with the highest standards in repair work and comes with a quality craftsmanship guarantee. We are pleased to provide an independent and unbiased appraisal service with a fully qualified F.G.A Gemologist and appraiser with over 30 years of experience. Appraisals are done on site. To book your appraisal, please give us a call or drop us a line at info@rochellsjewellers.ca. Amin and the entire Rochells team wish to thank their customers past and present for the years of support and encouragement. “We love getting feedback from our customers, there is so much warmth in this community,” Amin said. “It is not unusual for our customers to stop in just to say hello or to tell us how much their loved one is enjoying their new piece of jewellery.” High standards, along with the expertise of knowledgeable staff, has helped Rochells build a foundation of trust and confidence with their customers over the last 10 years. Rochells Jewellers truly has it all.

Cheryl’s Trading Post Owners Cheryl and Jim Gregory opened the Peninsula store two years ago with a simple vision in mind – “To provide for their family while creating employment for Native artists.” “I have always wanted to have a Native art store... It’s been a lifetime dream,” Cheryl & Jim Gregory reflected the mother of two – her daughters, Amber and Cheyenne, also work alongside her, as well as her nieces and her husband. “I have appreciated and enjoyed Native Art all of my life,” reflects co-owner Jim Gregory.

“It’s a real family business – definitely a positive, uplifting place to be.”

Moon Pendant by Cory Bigcharles

Since opening in October of 2011, sales at Cheryl’s Trading Post have been slowly and steadily gaining strength; A Facebook fan page, ‘I Love Cheryl’s Trading Post,’ has garnered a huge following of 7,131 people and counting. “Everyone just loves the art!” said Cheryl matter-of-factly. “I’ve heard people saying ‘it’s a healing or magical place. I’ve also had someone tell us ‘you’ve got the best store in the world’.” In addition to selling authentic Native art from across the Americas, Cheryl’s Trading Post is a hub for local talent, which is plentiful on the Peninsula. “We are proud to carry pieces from the Semiahmoo people,” said Morgan Gregory. “Right now we have work from Leslie and Leonard Wells, and from Nahanee, and we’d like to have more. “

Cheryl Morgan Gregory noted she’s fortunate to have a wonderful staff. “I’m really proud of them and what they’ve accomplished already. They are pretty amazing and strong young women – all very important in helping the store run smoothly.” The staff are family members and friends of the family. Also her mother is proud that Cheryl carries on the family tradition of hard work and entrepreneurship. The key to the store’s success has been the support of the loyal customers, and their love of Native Arts. “We really appreciate them and do our best to keep them happy by giving them the best prices and the best products. I hope they keep coming back, and bring their friends and families – they are the reason we are able to be here.”

Cartridge World When your printer ink is running low, do you high-tail it to the nearest big box office supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World, at Mike Kitchen #12-3189 King George Boulevard.Â Â For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing ink refilling retailer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can refill or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges, using top-quality, brand-specific ink and toners.Â Â Operating more than 1,700 locations in 60 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landfills every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for customers, entrepreneurs and the environment.Â Frequently Asked Questions:Â Â Q: Is there a risk to using a refilled cartridge?Â Â Not at all! There should be no difference in the print quality after the cartridge is refilled. Our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee is a sign of our confidence and removes any risk from you trying our services.Â Â Q: How much money will I save by refilling?Â Â Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on refills at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. In addition to savings, Cartridge World also offers their customers the ability to make a choice regarding waste reduction and the environment. Â Â Q: Will using refilled cartridges void the printer manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty?Â Â No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against refilling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel confident that cartridges sold, refilled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim!Â Â Q: Is cartridge refilling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides?Â Â No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop! In addition to a printer/fax/copier repair service, we stock a full selection of new and compatible ink and laser cartridges, copier toners, fax and postage meter supplies, specialty paper and labels.Â

SAVE $15 WHEN YOU SPEND $100 OR MORE

Sabatino’s Trattoria & Bar Sabatino’s Trattoria & Bar brings an authentic, rustic Italian flare for a casual relaxed meal, yet is sophisticated enough for a special night out. This Italian eatery and wine bar is a true taste of Italian cuisine, featuring Reena and Sonny both traditional classics and modern staples that also carry over into our extensive “Gluten-Free Menu”. Like the food, the space itself is warm and inviting in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You know it, and we know it – homemade simply tastes better. That’s why we use the freshest ingredients, make our own stocks, bake our own bread and create our own signature desserts in house, all true to family recipes with the addition of a few special flares of our own. We have a saying at Sabatino’s: “Where Friends become La Famiglia.” Thank you everyone for your encouragement and support! Sonny and Reena also wish to thank all the staff at the restaurant – from the Amazing Creative kitchen Staff to Cheerful Service Staff – without them, there would be no Sabatino’s!

WINDSOR SQUARE

uestion: I have always been a happy go lucky individual who believed strongly that the future would look after itself. I am in my mid Àfties, and having run out of money and employment opportunities, I persuaded my elderly retired parents to let me back into their life, and I settled in at their house. Over time I was able to d them h persuade that I was trustworthy and that my three sisters were not, and they gave me a power of attorney. They lingered a lot longer than I thought and they both ended up with Alzheimer’s. I used my power of attorney to sell the house and get the proceeds, then my old habits kicked in. I went through the money at a very great rate and had lots of fun. It was nice to have friends again. My parents both died within weeks of each other, and my sisters have threatened to sue me. I have nothing left so I have told them that there is nothing they can do. I am right aren’t I? You can’t get blood out of a stone, can you?

We can help you boost your confidence and keep your healthy smile.

Hodson Denture Clinic Offering full-service denture services, including repairs, relines, precision dentures and denture implants, Peter Hodson and his caring staff have been helping people get the smiles they deserve— along with the function they need—for more than 20 years. “We are dedicated to providing the best denture Peter Hodson services available and helping our clients feel comfortable and confident,” said owner and registered denturist Peter Hodson. “We treat everyone with kindness and respect and always go the extra mile to ensure our clients feel 100 per cent satisfied with their new denture.” In fact, Peter says any problem people are facing with their dentures can be improved or eliminated so long as they are fitted properly, with the right solution. “Good fitting and looking dentures are highly personalized,” said Peter. “We take precision measurements of the jaw and face and then handcraft dentures to match age, complexion and facial features. We can also offer soft liners for people with chronically sore gum tissues, as well as ‘immediate’ dentures, which can be designed to duplicate the patient’s original teeth, if they so wish.” New patients to Peter Hodson Dental Clinic do not require a referral. In addition to complete and partial dentures, services include repairs and relines, affordable denture implant solutions, an on-site denture lab and ongoing care, maintenance and check-ups. If restoration, extraction or implants are part of the treatment plan, Peter can provide a referral to the appropriate practitioner. “It is very rewarding to be able to help people feel good about themselves and to prove to them that there is no such thing as ‘forbidden food’ when it comes to today’s dentures. People are often surprised by that, but dentures have come a long way over the past decade. There is no need for people to have to worry about uncomfortable fitting dentures or potential embarrassments.” For a free, no-obligation consultation and the best service available, call Peter Hodson Denture Clinic today at 604-536-9555.

Hair Art Academy

For over to 20 years, Hair Art Academy in White Rock has been training up-and-coming hair stylists and makeup artists who have gone on to perfect their craft, traveling the world and working among the highest ranks in the industry. Founded by internationally trained stylist Elke Tobisch in 1994 who noticed a pronounced gap in the level of training for new stylists entering the industry, the academy offers Elke Tobisch the kind of comprehensive training found in Europe and around the world, and prepares students for a long and successful career and helping to plan their futures in the hair and makeup styling profession. Industry professionals from around the Lower Mainland and across the country hold Hair Art Academy graduates in high regard for their demonstrated level of talent, hard work and professionalism. In addition to preparing students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in the industry, Elke also instills the importance of giving back to the community. As a longtime community member of the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Elke and the Academy have taken part in numerous fundraising efforts, including raising money for Source’s Women’s Place, various cancer fundraisers and support for those living with Type 2 Diabetes. They’ve also sponsored four World Vision Foster Children from around the world. “Contribution is one of the most important things that I teach at my school,” Elke explains. “No matter where you are in life, you have to give back to your community. And my students have been so extraordinary when it comes to contribution.” For clients who are looking to brush up on their makeup skills, Hair Art Academy is expanding its lineup of workshops available to the public. In addition to monthly specials and promotions, Hair Art Academy hosts a special day each month to celebrate local seniors. On the first Tuesday of every month, the academy invites senior clients – new and existing – to book an appointment to get their hair done and join the team for tea and sandwiches. Seniors day is just one example of how the academy thrives to give back to the community that has supported it for so many years. To find out more about the comprehensive training program offered at Hair Art Academy – now booking for classes in November – or to learn more about their community endeavors, visit www.hairartacademy.com or call 604-541-1541.

But according to Mary Rankin, manager at Expert Hearing Solutions in Ocean Park, research in recent years has shown that good hearing is an essential part of Mary Rankin healthy living, enabling people to live life to its fullest. “We’ve known for many years that untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation and depression,” Mary explains. “But recently, research has pointed to hearing loss as a factor in dementia.” In relation to this latest evidence, Mary said it’s more important than ever that people are pro-active in maintaining the best possible hearing throughout their lives. To address hearing loss well, you want to do it sooner rather than later. “We know that accurate sensory input is vital to maintaining brain health and cognitive function – if you don’t hear well, you’re not fully aware of your surroundings,” she said. “It all relates back to taking care of our brain health and mental function, by keeping our minds active.” Expert Hearing Solutions is a full-service hearing clinic that looks after the needs of patients from testing to prescribing, fitting and maintaining hearing aids. Offering the most up-to-date hearing aid technology for every budget, Mary notes that today’s tiny devices can mitigate the issues that people may have experienced with hearing aids in the past. “The modern hearing devices give people back their quality of life,” she says. The constant improvement in hearing-aid technology has made these life-changing devices easier than ever for patients to use. There are models for everyone, fully automatic for those not comfortable with technology and Bluetooth compatible devices for those seeking the latest cutting-edge technology. Expert Hearing Solutions also provides patients with the means to prevent hearing damage, including custom-made ear defenders for noise protection and swim plugs. Look after your hearing, if you suspect you’re not hearing as well as you should, call Expert Hearing Solutions today at 604-541-9900.

Including Charitable Donations in your Will As the gift giving season has just passed, this may be a good time to continue your generosity and revisit whether you wish to make a charitable bequest in your Last Will and Testament. A bequest is a gift made in your Will. Making a charitable bequest is a highly effective way of continuing your support for the causes that mattered the most to you during your lifetime. A charitable bequest within a Will may fail for a number of reasons, such as problems with identifying the named charity. In order to avoid this, you must first ensure that your Will refers to the proper legal name of the charity in order to dispel any confusion as to identification. Further inquiries should be made into the corporate status of the charity. Additionally, you may want to specify whether your charitable bequest is intended for the charity’s general purposes or for a specific purpose. A charitable bequest that might otherwise fail may be saved if a “paramount charitable intent”can be found within the Will. In such a case, the donation will be applied to another charity carrying out the same or a similar purpose. Despite this available remedy, it is advisable to seek legal advice on these matters when having your Will drafted. One significant advantage of including a charitable donation within your Will is that you may reduce the income tax liability arising on the deemed disposition of your assets upon your death. The Canada Revenue Agency website provides some useful information on this topic and also maintains a Charities Listing where you can find information on whether a charity is registered, revoked, or suspended, and how much of the charity’s resources are devoted to charitable activities. You can view this information by visiting the following link: www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrtsgvng/chrts/cntct/nfrmtn-eng.html

Tisol Pet Nutrition & Supply Stores It all started with two German Shepherds named Tiger and Solomon, and a family of animal lovers with a commitment to providing their pets with the best in care and nutrition.

Kozub Family

The very first Tisol Pet Nutrition & Supply Store (named after the two beloved dogs – “Ti”-“Sol”) opened in 1974, and 40 years later (that’s 280 dog years), this family-run company has grown to nine locations throughout the Lower Mainland.

Celebrating 40 Years of Caring

Pet Nutrition & Supply Stores

BC family-owned & operated since 1974

Locally, the South Surrey Tisol store has been offering their two and four-legged customers the best selection of premium pet nutrition and high-quality supplies for 10 years at its Southpoint Exchange location. In addition to its great selection, the staff at Tisol is dedicated to providing customers with the right information when it comes to the health of their furry family members; so much so, that they are referred to as advisors. Tisol’s advisors are highly trained, and have a true love of animals. They take part in on-going training seminars, up to 10 times per year, featuring presenters such as, holistic veterinarians, groomers, trainers, rescue groups and more. All of this is in addition to continuous training by the manufacturers of the products they carry. If there’s something you’re looking for that you can’t find in-store, Tisol’s advisors are happy to work with their suppliers to see if they can quickly find just what you need. And it’s not just the pets of their customers that Tisol strives to help – this chain of pet supply stores is heavily involved with a number of animal rescue groups, organizations and initiatives that aim to improve the lives and welfare of animals around the Lower Mainland and beyond. Through their Pet Food Bank program, generous pet lovers have the opportunity to donate food and supplies in-store. To date, the program has collected 145,000 pounds of food for pets in need. Tisol also works closely with the Kensington Foundation for Animals in Crisis, a BCbased registered charity that raises money and awareness for dozens of rescue groups and shelters around the province, including several in the Fraser Valley.

To find out more about Tisol’s amazing selection of pet nutrition and supplies, the company’s community involvement and any current events or promotions, visit www.tisol.ca or stop by or call their South Surrey location at #103 - 3010 152 St. – 604-536-2330.

Creative Kids Learning Centre Creative Kids Learning Centers opened its first preschool back in 1996 in a small portable on the back property of Colebrook United Church. Today, president and founder Sandra Christian has nine different locations and the programs fill up fast. “Back then, I didn’t have two nickels to rub together – I had to beg CIBC for a small loan,” recalled Christian, who was just 22 when she started her first preschool in a run-down portable. Olivia, Sandra & Nic It didn’t take long for her vision of creating facilities that promote learning in beautiful, well-equipped surroundings with Christian qualified, nurturing and dedicated educators to take flight. “The community embraced us and as a result, our programs and locations have grown organically over time to meet the needs and demands of our growing city.” Creative Kids Learning Centers provide fun, stimulating, academic and social-based programs that have been designed to foster the individual needs of each child who comes through the door. Since the inception of the first program 20 years ago, it has evolved to now offer six separate and uniquely tailored educational programs that support the families within the community: Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, Ready to Read, Before and After School Care, Summer Camps and Full-Day Child Care. “And we are still growing! “ said Christian. Being a mother of two children who have gone through each one of the programs, Christian has a vested personal interest in the curriculum and facilities. And as an early childhood educator, the Peninsula resident insists on providing only the highest quality professional programs and childcare. “Our goal is to ‘Plant The Seed For Further Education’ in all the children who come through our doors,” she said. Creative Kids Learning Centers’ Rosemary Heights and Morgan Crossing locations recently began offering a ‘Family Drop-In’ every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mrs. Ale Geveart is on-hand to assist the families in a variety of fun and engaging activities. “Parents are welcome to sit back, relax, sip on coffee and even bring in their computers if they wish to surf the net as we have a wireless connection,” noted Christian. While Creative Kids has undergone several large expansions in recent years – including a brand new state-of the art facility in Morgan Crossing that spans more than 5000 square feet– the primary focus now is settling in, said Christian. “There are no plans to expand at the moment – making sure we have qualified staff and the highest quality programs is our number one commitment.” Any parents interested in enrolling their children into one of the six programs are invited to set up a tour. “We want to meet parents, take them on a tour and answer any questions they might have about our facilities,” said Christian, noting registration is also now available online. For more information, visit www.creativekidslearningcenters.ca.

BC Games never get old for coach Grant Brehaut

Diving right in Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

rant Brehaut is no stranger to the BC Games. As an athlete, he competed in diving at the 2000 BC Summer Games in Victoria, and has coached or judged at them ever since. The 30-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary grad, who now lives in Richmond, will be back poolside again this weekend, coaching the Richmond-Delta Zone 3 team in Mission at the BC Winter Games – the sport switched from summer to winter this year – and admits that when big events such as the BC Games roll around, all the memories of competition flood back. “I do sometimes get the desire to be back up on the board, diving again,” said Brehaut, whose non-BC Games role is head coach of the White Rock Divers. “But I have a friend who still dives… she’s a bit younger than me, but now I just live through her when she’s competing.” The 2014 BC Winter Games begin today (Thursday), with events held throughout the weekend. The diving competition is one of the few not being held in the host city, as Langley’s Walnut Grove Community Centre is set to host the sport. At the 2000 BC Games, Brehaut – who also spent four years diving at Simon Fraser University and was once ranked in the top-12 in Canada for his age group – won gold and silver medals, though he says as a coach, he emphasizes to his divers that finding oneself on the podium should not necessarily be the only goal. “It’s one of those events that, as an athlete, gives you a lasting memory,” he said. “For these kids, it’s going to be one of their best experiences in the sport. You get to meet so many other athletes from other realms, from all these other sports. It’s not about diving for your club anymore – it’s about celebrating the sport as a whole, and having fun.” Though he sometimes longs to get back in the pool as a competitor, Brehaut says he now gets just as much enjoyment and satisfaction – sometimes more – watching

If you asked him “I picked it up fairly quickly I guess, and to do 50 (of a certain dive) he’d do 300. And

as a coach, you take that drive over any amount of talent every time,” she said. “He was a real leader back then. I knew he’d make a good coach.” Brehuat shows the same drive as a coach that he did as a diver, she said, adding that her club is lucky to have him, as over the years he’s turned down numerous offers to coach bigger clubs across the country. “I’ve had my fair share of offers… and I’m very fortunate to have had those opportunities, but I really love it here. I love B.C., I love this club – it’s where I’m from. And I love the group I coach, and I really enjoy seeing them grow. “Working with Bev, and the prospect of the new pool (in Grandview Heights)… it makes this club a really strong place to be. I want to stick it out.” The BC Games’ diving competition begins Friday at 11 a.m., and continues until Saturday afternoon. For more information on the Games , visit www.bcgames.org

Best-ever season for major-midget hockey squad

Hawks clinch third place TF$$$$$$$$$$$ Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Valley West Hawks are enjoying their best season ever. The BC Hockey Major Midget League team, comprised of elite 15-17 year-olds from the Surrey, Semiahmoo, Cloverdale and Langley minor hockey associations, clinched a thirdplace finish Saturday with a 3-1 victory over the fourth-place Vancouver Chiefs. On Sunday, they won their 25th game of the season by ripping the Chiefs 9-3. Valley West has now matched their best-ever finish and win total. They can’t climb any higher in the standings, but with two games remaining can set a new mark for most victories in a season by a Hawks team. Valley West did all

other goal scorers. While the Hawks had nothing to play for Sunday, the Chiefs were still trying to nail down fourth place and home ice advantage for the playoffs. But it was Valley West dominating play from the start. Bradley scored the game’s first and last goals, and also added a pair of assists. He now leads the MML in goal scoring, with 35 in as many games played. Defenceman Jamieson Reid of Surrey also scored twice, with singles coming from Westgard, Cloverdale’s Jordan Funk, and Langley forwards Eric Callegari, Luke Gingras and Spencer Gerth. After a bye next weekend, the Hawks will visit the North Island Silvertips for two games in Nanaimo March 1-2.

The Cottages at Seabright Farm welcome Canadians By Kerry Vital

The Cottages at Seabright Farm, located in Point Roberts, will soon be welcoming buyers, and Canadians are sure to love it. “There’s been unbelievable interest in this project,” says Wayne Knowles, development partner for The Cottages at Seabright Farm. “There are huge lots and great views. There’s nothing better than Point Roberts.”

Point Roberts has long been a popular spot for Canadians, especially those from the Lower Mainland looking for a quick and easy getaway without having to deal with a long drive or a ferry. Just across the border from Tsawwassen, you’ll find a relaxing atmosphere with a charming feel, great weather and plenty of activities to keep you as busy as you want to be. Knowles points out that about 90 per cent of the people who have already registered interest in the Cottages at Seabright Farm are from Canada.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

The Cottages at Seabright Farm is located on 62 acres of direct south-facing waterfront. The cottages are based on Point Roberts’ historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings. “Point Roberts has character,” Knowles says. “It’s totally authentic and small enough to be a true community.” The most exciting part of the cottages will be the attached breezeways that Knowles calls a signature part of the development. A smaller second building can be attached to the first, and perhaps used as a master retreat, guest suite or garage space, among other options. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The two-or-more-bedroom cottages will include stone fireplaces, high ceilings, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, relaxing decks and covered porches. Lots at Seabright Farm will start around $200,000, and finished cottages will start in the low $400,000s. For more information, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com or call 1-888-732-6915.

Homes at The Ridge at Bose Farms will incorporate all the beauty of the location, with wide-plank laminate hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings and huge decks and patios to give homeowners the best view.

Country-style living at The Ridge at Bose Farms By Kerry Vital

History is all around you at The Ridge at Bose Farms, a new master-planned condominium community with more than a touch of country style. “There’s really something for everybody

here,” says sales manager Nicole Castle. “The homes are priced well and it’s a great location.” The Ridge at Bose Farms is built on the historic Bose Family Farm land, and will be incorporating heritage elements. The former potato and machinery barn is being restored, along with the dairy shed and original Bose family farmhouse. All three will join an entirely new amenity building. The dairy shed will become a garden storage area, located next to the herb gardens and garden plots that will be available for the use and enjoyment of homeowners. The old farmhouse will hold two guest suites, along with a country kitchen and lounge area for smaller gatherings. Meanwhile, the potato and machinery barn will be connected to the new amenity building with a breezeway,

allowing owners to view the original roof framing and new timber plank floor. The second floor of the barn will be perfect for movie or game nights, barn dances and afternoon socials, continuing the traditions of this heritage site, while the first floor can be used as a woodworking shop, craft space or storage. The new amenity building will hold a fitness facility, yoga studio, library, chef ’s kitchen, fireside entertainment lounge and a media room, among other amenities. The one- and two-bedroom homes themselves, ranging from approximately 444 to over 1,000 square feet, take inspiration from the beautiful location, with their two designer colour schemes, wide-plank laminate hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings and huge decks and patios for taking

advantage of the stunning views. “From the north, you’ll look out over the Agricultural Land Reserve, the golf course and the North Shore mountains,” says Castle. “From the west, you’ll look out over the ridge or 12 acres of heritage forest to the south.” The kitchens are fit for a gourmet, with stainless-steel appliances, beautiful cabinetry and complementary quartz stone countertops and coordinated ceramic backsplash. Your space is lit with vintage-style schoolhouse or stainless-steel pendant lighting, as well as convenient under-cabinet task lighting. The bathrooms are spa-like and soothing with ceramic tile flooring and surrounds, as well as recessed pot lighting and wallmounted light sconces. The ensuite bathroom features his-and-hers sinks, frameless glass showers (in the two-bedroom homes) and glass accent tiles or a mix of marble and glass mosaic tiles, depending on your chosen colour scheme. The main bathrooms have custom one-piece vanities and elegant floating mirrors. The Ridge is perfectly situated to take advantage of all of Surrey’s best amenities, including shopping, dining, schools, leisure and recreation. Homes start at $162,900. For more information, check out www. theridgeatbosefarms.com, call 604-888-5514 or visit the presentation centre at 16390 64 Avenue, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

The Corolla is sold in several different trim levels, starting at $15,995 to get the base CE, but the reality is that most Canadians will upgrade to the $19,215 S (Sport) or the LE for $19,500. To upgrade to this $20,500 LE Eco model is $1,035 over the S model and $750 over the regular LE. I prefer the S trim for its more aggressive 17-inch wheels compared to the LE and LE Eco, which come with smaller 16-inch wheels. Regardless, this model is a massive step forward in terms of delivering an

The Eco gets a 140hp version that comes with Toyota’s Valevematic technology that helps to pump out the extra 8hp, yet improves fuel economy. The base CE is sold with either a 6-speed manual or the 4-speed automatic found in the last model. The only other model to be offered with a manual is the S trim.

The folks over at GM felt it was time to raise the bar and with this latest incarnation of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. And indeed it took a major step forward by anybody’s estimation. Competition is fierce in the ½-ton pickup market and with heavy concentration on fuel consumption; it’s tough to find a balance between fuel economy and a strong capable truck. But the Silverado designers achieved that balance and were recognized very publicly for that achievement. The awards presentation at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit saw GM haul away top honors for the Corvette Stingray and Silverado pickup, which were named North American Car and Truck of the year. You can’t just beef up a suspension and still expect a smooth ride. Chev did: the Silverado utilizes finely tuned shock absorbers that respond to small vibrations and tackle the big bounces with ease. I admit I had my doubts. Driving the Silverado over a pothole-laden road did change the dynamics of this truck on how it handled but the shocks adjusted themselves perfectly. The frame mounts at the back of the cab are hydraulic and this helps to control any vibration. The rear axle size has been increased to handle the larger torque output from the engine. Speaking of engines the Silverado offers three engine choices. The first is a 4.3L V6 with a 285 horsepower and 305 foot pounds of torque. An all-aluminum 5.3L V8 with 355 horsepower and a 6.2L EcoTec V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque. This engine also has active noise cancellation, very similar to good quality headphones! The transmission is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic with two overdrive gears. It has an estimated combined fuel economy of 13/8.7 L/100 km. Although my real world numbers were not that close, the transmission undoubtedly helped push a tank of gas a little farther than I expected. Properly equipped, this Silverado can tow up to 5216 kg (11,500 lb) which is impressive for a ½ ton pickup. The redesigned interior offers more leg room and is easily accessed through the larger doors. Stain resistant cloth seats or optional leather seats are very comfortable. The glove box is a two-

Setting it apart from its tamer siblings is a 2.4-litre engine producing 201 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft of torque. It also comes standard with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and a rear spoiler.

You could also say it is linked with the Subaru BRZ as these four-seater, two-door vehicles were a joint venture product between the two Japanese brands. The FR-S features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder boxer engine, developed in collaboration with Subaru. It combines Subaru’s horizontally opposed engine and Toyota’s D-4S injection system. The result is 200 naturally aspirated horses and 151 lb-ft of torque and can be matched with your choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.

And it looks absolutely fabulous, darling, now you ask. Can’t speak for myself. It is simple and elegant in profile but a scowling front gives it beastly pretensions. The power hard top rises smoothly from its hiding place in the trunk in 20 seconds. We were told it could even be raised in speeds up to 18 km/h. When that top is in place it truly looks like a coupe. Cool but even cooler when you lower the windows and see it as a pillar-less coupe! Classy leather interior, with ergonomically correct front seats. Can’t say the same about the back seats but then who wants to share the open top experience with anybody other than one’s beloved? Controls handy though the rotary control was a bit too close to the front seat passenger for my liking. No fuel consumptions estimates are available yet.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – Took the all-new BMW 4 Series Cabriolet on one of those leisurely and slow drives typical of a Sunday through Nevada’s stunningly beautiful Valley of Fire National Park. Problem was that it was a Tuesday and the only other car on the road seemed to be the somewhat inappropriately named pace car ahead that kept our speed to a fraction below the posted 30 mph speed limit (which is 48.280 km/h to be precise). Apparently, the overzealous state troopers, you know the guys with the mirrored sunglasses, had warned the Bavarian hosts that they would hold them Truth is this car is for any outrageous more about looks. How responsible road behaviour, hence the it looks and how you so called pace cars ahead of each group of pearl white 435i look in it. cabriolets. Keith Morgan This topless edition joins its coupe sibling in the new 4 series classification which is really a new name for 3 Series twodoor models. Just like the 2 Series coupes are actually two-door 1 Series models. Oh, never mind. Anyway, this is a tourer for those with the cash rather than the sports-minded - $67,400 for the test car – so perhaps the afternoon stroll was more appropriate than a blast on the nearby freeway. (A base 428i version starts at $56,600, and comes with a 2.0-litre, 241 hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine.) If you are looking for feedback through the steering, you are not going to get much but there is no argument that it offers a smooth ride and cornering is effortless at 32 mph – devils aren’t we? Once out of the park, the Smokey bears joined the press pack as impromptu pace cars! – One ahead of us pulled off at a donut shop as we hit the highway. Here was our chance to open up. A bit. The 300-hp turbo inline-six swiftly moved through eight-speed auto tranny to 100 klicks in a smidgen under six seconds then I chickened out. (Six-speed manual transmissions will be available in Canada, which should increase sportiness in performance.) Rumours circulated the evening dinner that a member of the Russian press corps had secured a $1,000 fine on that same stretch of road at about the time my co-driver and I had taken turns to punch the pedal and play briefly with steering-wheel mounted paddle gear changers. Oh, and that’s when we were able to test the true effectiveness of the rear air diffuser (thumbs up) though when it is in place it rules out back seat passengers (thumbs down). And the rush of cooler desert air prompted us to flick the switch on the neck warmers, ah yes, a mark of true luxury. Truth is this car is more about looks. How it looks and how you look in it.

Honda legend returns with a modern twist Honda introduced the world’s first hot-hybrid-hatch with the launch of its CR-Z for the 2011 model year. The CR-Z is a stylish, driver-focused, small two-seat hatchback that’s fun-to-drive, and it offers great fuel economy. It’s a contemporary take on an older (last sold in 1991) and much loved pocket-rocket called the Honda CRX. Reliability has been outstanding and the CR-Z’s resale value on the used market is above average, a nice bonus for owners. It is based on a chassis shared with the Honda Fit, an undeniably more practical (with seats for 4/5) vehicle The Honda CR-Z option that lacks the style and offers agile handling sporty appeal of the CR-Z. and a more engaging Under its wedge-like aerodynamic design is a driving experience lightweight yet rigid structure. than previously Its tapering roofline leads available small hybrid to an abrupt tail end with a double-window rear hatch. vehicles. While the secondary lower Bob McHugh glass panel does provide a driver some addition rear vision, overall rearward sightlines are still a drawback. The suspension is also on the firm side and combined with its short wheelbase uneven road surfaces can make the ride choppy. The sport theme continues on the inside with bucket-style seats that offer more side support on both the seatback and cushion. It also comes with large storage bins in the rear (instead of seats) that are covered by a drop-down cargo area divider when expanded trunk space is needed. Under the hood, there is a 1.5-litre i-VTEC four-cylinder gas engine that’s teamed with Honda’s compact (10-kilowatt) Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system to provide a maximum of 122 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm. It’s essentially the same (mildhybrid) drive system that’s also used in the Honda Insight and Honda Civic Hybrid. City/ highway fuel economy (with auto) is rated at 5.6/5.0 L/100km. The CR-Z, however, does offer two unique hybrid-drive differences. A six-speed manual transmission option being the first and a three-mode operational feature, which allows a driver to choose between Sport, Normal or Econ (Economy) driving styles, the second. The automatic option is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters that provide seven-speed sequential gear-ratio control. The sport mode has to be selected to use the paddle shifters, but it’s an impressively quick acting feature that’s fun to use. The Econ mode “smoothes” throttle inputs but will still kick down the transmission and give full throttle if the driver floors the gas pedal. It also dampens steering response, air

with black seat fabric. The 2013 CR-Z did get a few updates, including a more powerful battery pack, a standard reverse camera and Bluetooth. It was also offered in a Premium trim edition. A Honda legend returns with a modern twist, the Honda CR-Z offers agile handling and a more engaging driving experience than previously available in a small hybrid vehicle. Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Honda CR-Z: 2011: In vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, specific operating conditions (such as extreme temperatures, combined with high battery and accessory loads, and operation near engine stalling speeds), could allow the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to activate the engine’s stall prevention assist software. This might inadvertently command the hybrid system’s electric motor to rotate the engine in the opposite direction and cause the vehicle to move in a reverse direction than expected. Dealers will update the ECU software.

The Honda CR-Z was launched for the 2011 model year. conditioning use and activates the idle stop/start feature sooner, which is a big fuel saver in stop-and-go city driving. Normal mode is a middle-blend of the Sport and Econ modes. No significant changes were made to CR-Z for the 2012 model year, other than vehicles with a red exterior could be ordered

OBITUARIES

Anne Bailey (née Julia Anne Fraser) died in White Rock on January 13, 2014. She was predeceased by her husband Raymond Bailey in 2007. Anne was born in Seattle on August 1, 1922, and spent her early years in California before coming to Vancouver at the age of ten. She attended Templeton Junior High School (Best Girl Athlete), Britannia High School and the Vancouver School of Art before marrying Ray, also of Vancouver. While raising four children Richard, Clare, Phyllis and David - in Vancouver, Port Moody, Dartmouth NS, Venezuela, and Coquitlam, Anne continued the study of art and played tennis, golf and bridge. They moved to White Rock in 1996. In her retirement years, Anne earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and Philosophy from Simon Fraser University, volunteered at the Port Moody Museum and White Rock United Church, visited and babysat grandchildren, did crossword puzzles with Ray, visited her cottage in Point Roberts, played ping pong, wrote letters and memoirs, and engaged in philosophical and semantic discussions at every opportunity. Anne and Ray are survived by their four children and families: Richard and Monika, with children Susan, Michael, James and Louise Bailey in Toronto; Clare and Jiri with Martin, Andrea and Nadine Raska in the Vancouver area; Phyllis with AJ and Graham Ross in Halifax; David and Ioana with Margaret, Daniel and Gabriel Bailey in Toronto. Susan and Rich brought the first great-grandchild, Finley Bailey Wong, into the family. After her death, Anne’s family were able to peruse over 100 years of art, family letters, diaries, photos and mementos. They were a reminder of Anne’s qualities and quirks. She was a household organizer, recycler extraordinaire, seamstress and mender, ukulele and recorder player, train traveller, packer of amazing quantities into small spaces, instinctive solver of the knapsack problem, fan of Doc Martin and CBC radio, letter writer, stickler for truth, and seeker of the meaning of life.

The City of Surrey is completing a Ravine Stability Assessment of ravine slopes and channel banks along various watercourses throughout the City. This is part of an ongoing biennial Ravine Stability Assessment. From January 15 to April 30, 2014, representatives of the City’s Consultant may require access through private property to safely inspect these ravines. All field staff working on this project will carry identification and an information letter from the City of Surrey. Residents who see field staff in or near their property can ask for these documents. We appreciate your co-operation in enabling field engineers to enter your property in order to access these ravine slopes, channel banks, and watercourses.

HELP YOUR HEART! A simple addition of Chia Seeds to your diet can add valuable soluble fibre and omega 3 fatty acids. Did you know you can replace eggs in baking with chia seeds? Combine 1 tablespoon of whole chia seeds with 3 tablepoons of water and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. It will form a gelatinous binding substance that can be used to replace 1 egg in your muffins, loaves, cookies, pancakes and more! This will decrease the saturated fat and cholesterol in your baking and increase fibre and omega 3 content—all with the benefit of improving heart health! 2010 - 2013 Awards.
