Couple’s legacy honoured by renaming White Rock’s Centre for Active Living

Toasting one final gift to your health Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Longtime Peninsula residents Horst and Emmy Werner weren’t the type to do things for recognition.

“These were very classy, dignified people,” South Surrey lawyer Dale Bradford said Thursday, during a ceremony celebrating the renaming of White Rock’s Centre for Active Living in the couple’s honour. “Every time I come in here, I’ll think of Horst and Emmy.”

The renaming – to the Horst & Emmy Werner Centre for Active Living – recognizes the $1.75 million that Emmy Werner, who died in 2012, gifted to the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation in her will.

It is the culmination of a history support-

“They would go out for walks in the community and they would pop in here and leave their gift,” Stephanie Beck, the foundation’s director of major and planned gifts,

told Peace Arch News. “For a few years, they dropped off about $10,000 annually.”

During their lifetime, the Werners donated approximately $135,000 to the foundation.

Bradford said the couple, who met at Lake Louise, Alta. and married in 1953, came to

him in 2000. Noting they had no family in Canada – Emmy had a son prior to meeting Horst, but Michael died at three months of age – they asked the lawyer to be the alternate executor of their estate.

He said their decision to gift the entire estate to the foundation was “not anything that I foresaw.” When they first came to Bradford, the Werners wanted to earmark half of it to the foundation, and split the other half between some friends, he said.

For reasons unknown to Bradford, that changed a couple years later.

While Bradford wasn’t personally close to the Werners, he became emotional reading a letter about them from the husband of Emmy’s goddaughter, who lives in Germany. i see page 2

World leaders talk economic change Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Three former international prime ministers last week described the shock of facing the 2008 global recession and how it served as a teaching moment moving forward.

Ehud Barak (Israel), Julia Gillard (Australia) and George Papandreou (Greece) addressed

a crowd of about 1,000 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel during the Surrey Regional Economic Summit on Thursday.

They outlined their countries’ positions as the world economy ground to a halt in 2008.

Papandreou described Greece as the weak link in the European Union and the lightning rod for criticism. During the crisis, he was

getting calls from other leaders looking for assurances his country would not default on its loans.

“They knew that if Greece went under, we could have a new global recession,” Papandreou said. “That just shows how interconnected we were.” i see page 4

The City of Surrey is embarking on a redesign of five of its six town centres over the next two years.

Town-centre plans getting a makeover include Semiahmoo, Newton, Cloverdale, Fleetwood and Guildford. Existing town centre plans are 15-20 years old.

Extensive consultation is to include planning workshops with community groups and businesses, and several public forums are to be part of the process.

On the table for discussion will be appropriate future land uses; density of housing and commercial development; streets, walkways, transit and transportation infrastructure; best uses of public space; and urban design guidelines including beautification, heritage and public art opportunities.

The initiative begins this year with an update of the Newton, Cloverdale and Fleetwood plans. Semiahmoo and Guildford will follow in 2015. Surrey’s sixth town centre, City Centre, already has an updated town-centre plan.

Loved ones appreciate honour i from page 1 Edgar Most describes Emmy as “a very beautiful and cultivated woman, and Horst adored her very much.”

“Their relationship was characterized by deep love and huge respect for each other,” Most writes.

He notes that Horst was deeply traumatized by the death of his mother, who was shot by Russian soldiers as he hid behind a door. Other tidbits shared by Most included that Horst worked for Canada Post until he retired, and that Emmy spoke three languages: Polish, German and English.

The Mosts last saw Emmy in November 2010 – the year after her husband died – and said the renaming tribute is a fitting show of respect.

“We will treasure both forever in affectionate memory and would be happy of (sic) they will duly be appreciated at the place where they lived such a long time.”

Emmy died in 2012, less than a year after the CAL officially opened. The project was a combined expansion of the Mel Edwards Centre (a cardiac rehabilitation facility) and the Peace Arch Curling Club.

The hospital foundation contributed about a third of the $6.6-million facility’s cost. A condition of the partnership included hav-

ing exclusive naming rights for 25 years.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin described the facility as “really a community project.”

Foundation chair Graham Cameron lauded the impact donations to the charity can have.

They benefit the entire community, he said.

“It is because of the generous donors like the Werners that we’re able to support the programs and resources that take place here,” he said.

Cameron noted the foundation only learned of the gift after Emmy died, and had no opportunity to thank the couple personally.

Beck told PAN that is often the case with planned gifts.

“One in nine people will tell the charity that they’ve left a gift in their will. The other eight won’t,” she said.

The Werners’ donation is one of the largest ‘planned’ gifts that the foundation has received. About eight years ago, Edith Stroyan designated $3.5 million to the hospital’s fifth and sixth floor project; and the foundation is in the process of completing a gift from Grace Laurendeau value at approximately $1.5 million, Beck said.

Of the Werners’ gift, $1 million went to the centre; the balance will benefit the hospital’s ER expansion and renovation project.

White Rock mayor criticizes Metro’s over-budget, $9-million research centre on Annacis Island

Sewage centre ‘not best for conventions’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

A $9-million research centre that Metro Vancouver opened in 2011 at its Annacis Island sewage treatment plant has largely morphed into a costly, underused white elephant that periodically hosts meetings.

Originally to be the first of five Metro “sustainability academies” that have largely fallen by the wayside, the Annacis Wastewater Centre ended up costing regional taxpayers more than expected because UBC never came through on an original pledge to contribute $1 million.

The centre also now faces a $390,000 annual deficit, and Metro aims to rent out the meeting room to staunch the red ink.

“Staff are aggressively promoting use of the conference facility, and have established competitive rates to encourage this,” a Metro report says.

However, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, one of the Metro politicians who expressed dismay with the project at a Feb. 28 board meeting, said “a sewage treatment plant is not really the best place for conventions.”

“The hole just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger,” he said, noting the project ballooned in cost from its original estimate of $4 million. “I don’t know why we would want to continue with this.”

Metro originally expected to shoulder just $100,000 of the annual cost, but it’s paying more because UBC declined to taking on the

cost of managing the building for research, and other researchers and consultants have yet to flock to the centre and help defray costs.

Two-thirds of the capital money – $6 million – came from federal and provincial grants. The original plan was for UBC to own the building, but that would violate the terms of the federal grant, so the university backed away (some Metro directors say reneged) on its $1-million pledge.

Instead, university administrators offered to pay $90,000 a year over six years, but due to a communication breakdown – senior administrators at both Metro and UBC retired in recent years – Metro’s board did not learn of the dropped pledge until last fall.

Directors belatedly voted Friday to accept

UBC’s contributions to help pare the deficit.

“We’re here, we own the building, we’re required to keep the building,” Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal said. “These fees will help offset the costs.”

She said research there into the mining of phosphorous from sewage and other promising resource and energy recovery options may help reduce Metro’s long-term costs.

UBC staff have since 2012 had free use of the centre’s research hall, which allows lab testing of various waste water effluent streams, and Metro still hopes to negotiate a retroactive contribution for that use.

Metro staff and affiliated groups have used the centre for conferences, saving an estimated $40,000 on renting external meeting space.

Victim still not named

Hit-and-run charges ‘a year away’ Monique Tamminga Black Press

It has been seven months since a 37-year-old Langley man was killed in a hit-and-run crash.

Police now say possible criminal charges against the suspect – a Surrey RCMP consultant – are likely a year or more away.

Neither man’s identity has been released, with B.C. Coroner Service’s Robert Fisher noting at the time of the Aug. 7 fatality that the names of deceased people aren’t released while criminal investigations are ongoing.

“This is a high-profile death and our serious crimes section has taken over the investigation,” a Surrey RCMP spokesperson said last week.

Given that the suspect in this case is a civilian who was working for the Surrey RCMP at the time of the fatal crash, it makes the investigation more complex, he added.

Investigators are having to gather all the analysis from various agencies and from reconstructionists.

Ironically, at the time of the collision, the suspect was working with Surrey RCMP’s traffic section reconstructing and re-creating a 2012 fatal crash that killed one of their own officers, Const. Adrian Oliver. Oliver died in November 2012, at the intersection of 64 Avenue and 148 Street, when his cruiser was in a collision with a semi truck.

The day of the Langley fatality, the consultant was driving the semi he used to re-create Oliver’s fatal crash. After being used in the re-creation, the semi is alleged to have been driven eastbound in the curb lane in the 19500-block of Langley Bypass, when the 37-yearold pedestrian was killed.

Surrey RCMP say the driver didn’t stop to render assistance.

The pedestrian died at the scene.

Police put out a description of the older-model blue semi cab to the media and, by mid-afternoon had seized the truck.

The suspect was questioned by Surrey RCMP that same day. He was released without charges.

Provincial court to hear woman’s plea over ‘heavy-handed’ punishment

$500 fine for ‘recycled’ vacuum disputed Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock woman who was fined $500 after leaving a vacuum at the city’s works yard is hoping a provincial-court judge will agree the policy behind it is “heavy-handed and mean-spirited.”

Joy Davies isn’t disputing that she left the vacuum in front of the Kiel Street recycling bins – “I’m disputing that I did anything wrong.”

City officials disagree.

“The signage is clear,” said Greg St. Louis, White Rock’s director of municipal operations.

“There’s no dumping whatsoever here.”

Davies told Peace Arch News that she left the vacuum – which was in working condition – at the works yard on Oct. 6, during a trip to drop off cardboard for recycling.

Noticing there was a seemingly good-condition infant car seat already there, Davies said she figured items that others could make use of were OK to leave.

While she agrees there was a “no dumping” sign – signage directing where to take reusable items was added later, she says – Davies said she thought the warning was in reference to actual garbage. She said she only learned otherwise when a bylaw officer showed up at her

Joy Davies was given surveillance photos. door with the violation ticket.

After an appeal to the city itself was unsuccessful, Davies was gearing up to file her case in court when she learned she already had a summons to appear for non-payment.

She described the $500 ticket as “so morally wrong,” and said she wonders if others who have received tickets under similar circumstances feel the same way.

According to city information that Davies received through a Freedom of Information request, White Rock issued 15 illegal-dumping tickets in 2013, including eight over the Christmas season. She encourages any of those people who feel they, too, were unjustly fined

to contact her at 604-910-8443.

While Davies argued that offenders should be issued a warning first, city officials told PAN in December that warnings are no longer on the table – cleaning up after offenders costs too much. A second offence will cost those who violate the bylaw $1,000; the ticket for a third offence is $2,000.

Davies also suggested the city establish a reuse area where people can drop off items such as the vacuum she was fined for, but St. Louis said that is unlikely. Not only does the city not have the manpower to staff such a service, it likely would run afoul of people who simply see it as another opportunity to dump garbage, he said.

Paul Henderson, Metro Vancouver’s manager of solid-waste services, suggested two websites for anyone looking for a recycling facility in or near their community: metrovancouverrecycles.org or Recyclepedia (rcbc.ca/recyclepedia/search), a service of the Recycling Council of B.C. Any item with a cord or battery is now “really easy and convenient” to recycle, he said.

Davies is scheduled to argue her ticket in Surrey Provincial Court on March 12. She said regardless of the outcome, she plans to ask council to have the bylaw reviewed and revised to include a re-use area.

Nothing breeds success like success, even on what really seemed to be the coldest night of 2014.

The first ‘Coldest Night of the Year’ fundraising walk organized

by Sources Community Resource Centres in White Rock Feb. 22, raised – at latest count – $47,000 for the Sources Rent Bank. That’s $22,000 more than the fundraising goal of $25,000, according to Denise Darrell, director of Women, Seniors and Community Services.

Given the response this year, a target of $50,000 for next year’s walk should be reasonable, she added.

“There’s no reason we couldn’t do that,” she said, noting White Rock’s total raised is second only to Cloverdale in B.C., where walkers brought in $58,005.

The White Rock contribution will likely stand at 15th in Canada.

Even with snow falling and chilly temperatures, Peninsula residents’ response to the inaugural event was impressive, Darrell said.

She said the success means that – as well as ensuring the event returns next year as principal fundraiser for the rent bank – “it puts us in a position where we’ll be able to extend another 30 loans this year.”

The rent bank, which grants emergency micro-loans to help low-income clients in crisis cover rent bills, rent arrears or Hydro bills, is seen by Sources as a key strategy in preventing homelessness on the Peninsula, Darrell said.

“The event certainly exceeded all of our expectations, not only in the money raised, but in community involvement and awareness raised,” she said, noting that people still have an opportunity to donate up to Friday, March 15, either directly through Sources (604-531-6226) or by visiting www. coldestnightoftheyear. com and selecting White Rock from the directory.

“Our goal was 100 walkers and we had 235 registered – and an additional 50 or so showed up at the event, making it close to 300, including 31 teams,”

said Darrell.

In addition to around 50 Sources volunteers who helped organize and register walkers, serve hot chocolate, hotdogs and chili, the participants also included families, children and seniors, and various organizations and businesses, including First United Church, White Rock RCMP, VanCity,

Envision, Schill Insurance Brokers, Peninsula Runners and Haley Dodge.

In Cloverdale, 259 walkers in 27 teams, plus 53 volunteers, helped exceed the $30,000 goal by 93 per cent, with funds going to Pacific Community Church’s Cloverdale Community Kitchen program.

It all adds up

I

t remains to be seen what benefits Surrey’s massive new marble-and-glass city hall has brought.

The public seems divided on whether the northend building is a suitably dignified statement of civic pride, or merely a gaudy monument to the hubris of the Watts administration.

However, the administration gets full marks on its mastery of the new math – if by ‘new math’ we mean making the sums come out exactly the way they want them.

The $97 million that Surrey borrowed to fund the hall has already run into flak from critics who’ve suggested some of our tax money would be better spent on policing and decaying infrastructure.

Regardless, that sum – touted as the price of its latest jewel – is far from being the bottom line.

The project’s eventual price tag will be well nigh $150 million, if you factor in the nearly $2 million in annual interest charges over the 25-year terms of mortgages.

Relax, says Mayor Dianne Watts; the costs will be offset by leasing of Surrey’s old city hall. But even if every corner of that aging edifice in midSurrey were completely leased tomorrow – and every indication is this is far from likely – the annual income would be sufficient only to service the debt, not reduce it.

By the city’s new math, that means we, as taxpayers, will have only spent $97 million for the palatial city digs. By the math ordinary taxpayers use – as we scrimp to pay down our own loans – it means we are still forking over $147.9 million.

Among Watts’ most extravagant claims has been that the new hall has been the boost of confidence needed to attract $3 billion in investment in the downtown core, and its subsequent tax dollars. Whichever math you use, this would be a tough statement to quantify.

How much of the investment is traceable to the building, and how much would have been coming anyway, given the city’s plans for the downtown core?

A $32-million parking facility? Taxpayers’ parking fees pay for that. A $9-million civic plaza? The taxpayers’ Surrey City Development Corporation will fund that.

Also neglected in the city’s sums on the new city hall is $2.5 million it has added for catwalks above the new council chambers.

That late addition, by administration figuring, is sufficient to transform it into a multi-purpose performing arts space. But it remains to be seen whether the space will be used by community groups – who may have a hard time making the math of a presumably high rental work for them – or whether the principal performance will be the grandiose theatrics of civic government.

mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource.

A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this.

If some limited form of title is at last defined for the treaty-less majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear.

Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in. For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either.

Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin.

Oral histories are also uncertain.

Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp.

The mine was rejected due to illdefined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

Little to-do over youth Editor: I have received my copy of the Spring 2014 White Rock Leisure Services brochure in my mailbox and it really is appalling.

Two partial pages and 10 programs are dedicated to ages 0-5 years.

Other than one page for springbreak programs, ages 6-16 – a very wide age group – is covered by one page totalling eight programs.

If you are 14, you have one option – fencing. If you are 15, 16 or 17, you have zero options.

If you are lucky enough to be an adult in White Rock, well you have 18 pages and 148 programs to choose from.

And all this from a city that tells its teens that skateboarding is not an option in White Rock – and don’t even think about taking your beloved dog to the beach.

To call children and youth an afterthought would be generous.

White Rock Leisure Service has a duty to serve all the citizens of White Rock, not just adults. Is anybody really thinking in there?

Michael J. Klaver, White Rock

their mother’s corpse, head and paws having been ‘removed’ as trophies.

The vast majority of British Columbians, including nontrophy hunters, have been calling on the Clark government to end this senseless killing, but to no avail. Instead, the government has just announced it will open four additional areas to the grizzly bear trophy hunt this year.

Last week on CKNW, I listened to photographer and bear-viewing guide John Marriott describe one of the bears in the Chilcotin region called ‘Big Momma.’ She is huge and photogenic – he calls her “a photo tour superstar.” But he adds it is likely she will be an easy target this spring because she has become used to the presence of humans. Unfortunately, she won’t know the difference between a camera and a gun.

It isn’t hard to figure out that a bear is worth more alive than dead.

Statistics prove it. A live bear can be viewed and photographed hundreds of times in their lives, while trophy hunting eliminates them completely.

We are so fortunate to have these majestic, iconic symbols of our B.C. wilderness, and I believe that their lives should be respected.

Jacqueline Hohmann, Surrey

Question period stifles dissent Editor: Last week, I left my White Rock home to attend a council meeting.

The air that evening smelled clean and fresh after the recent snowfall.

On the agenda was the vote for Bylaw 2045, which, if passed, would allow for Evergreen Baptist to build a new highrise close to the existing upscale Belaire highrise on the corner of North Bluff and Oxford Street. I personally opposed this application, as I knew it would block my Belaire neighbours’ views and sun, as well as needlessly destroying many protected trees. Sadly, I was not surprised when it passed.

As I sat there, I noticed the question period that was implemented while mayor Catherine Ferguson was in office – which allowed citizens to ask questions and voice their concerns at the beginning of council meetings – is now changed to the end. Furthermore, now you can only ask questions about items that are on that evening’s agenda. So basically, one of the only public forums for questioning your elected officials is now after the fact.

The residents of Belaire, after the 4-2 passing of this bylaw, still tried to valiantly ask their questions in this strangled forum. Yet each time, they were shot down by Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who basically said, “council has voted, let’s move on.”

So, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Baldwin and some of his fellow councillors, because that night, if I closed by eyes tight enough, I could have sworn they had taken me on a road trip from the clean, fresh air of White Rock all the way to Hamilton!

Lesson lingers for half century Editor: When I was a Grade 5 student at White Rock Elementary, one of my classmates was struck and killed by a motorist while riding his bike on Johnston Road outside the school.

More than 50 years later, I still think of my friend, Brian, when I drive past the school.

There are posted school-zone signs around the school that stipulate motorists go no faster than 30 km/h. Yet every day, even and especially when students are playing in the schoolyard, cars speed up and down and around the school.

The existence of a fence does not ensure that a child or their family members are safe – the signs exist for a reason.

For the sake of our children and their families, and in memory of my lost friend, Brian, please slow down and obey the speed limit.

Unease over easy targets Editor: In just a few weeks, the annual government-sponsored trophy hunt of grizzly bears in this province will commence.

Inevitably, female bears are killed, leaving behind their orphaned cubs to starve – perhaps not far from

The City of Surrey has its sights on the Semiahmoo Town Centre (reimagined looking southbound on 152 Street).

South Surrey feeling singled out Editor: Next Monday, at the public hearing for the new official community plan (OCP), Semiahmoo residents will at last have an opportunity to comment on the Semiahmoo Town Centre plan (STCP).

The plan was accepted by council in September 2006 and amended in May 2012. There were no public hearings before the plan was published. The city’s system does not allow them.

The STCP opened the way for high-density development on the site of the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre and a corridor along 152 Street up to 19 Avenue.

The new OCP extends the corridor north past 24 Avenue and permits higher densities from 152 to 156 streets.

Although the main developer, Bosa Development walked away from their proposal in 2010 after selling the shopping centre, the STCP remains in effect. It allows for up to 3,000 housing units on the sites identified.

The recent amendment to the plan could increase the allowed density on the 152 Street corridor by 60 per cent. As these sites represent roughly 50 per cent of the plan, it is possible that another 900 units could be built.

Even without the dramatic increase allowed by the plan, South Surrey has grown faster than the city’s average rate over the past 10 years – not as fast as Cloverdale but more than twice as fast as Whalley and

Guildford, with their good transit system.

This raises the obvious question. Is Semiahmoo being singled out to provide more than its share of Surrey’s growth required by Metro Vancouver? And if so, why?

The Semiahmoo Residents Association’s main objection has always been the shortage of infrastructure to support such an increase in population. Where are the roads? Where is the transit system?

Can the city continue to ignore certain problems as being out of their jurisdiction, such as the bottleneck of White Rock and insufficient medical facilities?

Surrey repeatedly talks of the need to revitalize the area and the need for new businesses. Can there be anything more ironic, when councils have consistently approved new commercial areas to the obvious detriment of the town centre? First Peninsula Village, then Southpoint and now to Grandview.

We used to walk; we now drive. If we have thousands of new residents, they will be doing the same. This seems the opposite of good planning. How well does this fit in with the objectives of Surrey’s Sustainability Charter?

The March 10 public hearing – 7 p.m. at the old city hall, 14245 56 Ave. – gives you a unique opportunity to comment on what Surrey is doing, as this may be your only chance to speak out on your community.

Horst & Emmy Werner CENTRE FOR ACTIVE LIVING

The Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation is thrilled to announce that the Centre for Active Living has been renamed in recognition of Horst and Emmy Werner, two longtime White Rock and South Surrey residents who made an extraordinary gift of more than $1.7 million to the Foundation.

Graham Cameron, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Dale Bradford unveil the Horst & Emmy Werner Centre for Active Living

The Werners were a very private, humble couple who had no children or family and just a small circle of friends.

They were quiet supporters of Peace Arch Hospital over the years and when they passed away, Horst in 2009 and Emmy in 2012, the entirety of their estate was left to the Foundation, creating a legacy for years to come.

Farm market ‘success’ The impact of the White Rock Farmers’ Market on the city’s economy reached a record $1.95 million last year.

Market officials shared the milestone – determined through an economic and social benefits assessment – at last week’s council meeting.

Describing the impact as “profound,” market president Sandy VanDeKinder noted the figure is $650,000 higher than that seen in 2012, and more than double the $880,000 realized in 2006.

Similarly, the ‘spillover’ effect – the amount of money spent at neighbouring businesses on market days –climbed to $1.16 million last year,

fer f O e

from $430,000 in 2012.

“Keep in mind that’s 84 hours of summer market,” VanDeKinder said.

The number of market visitors also increased, she said. In 2013, there were more than 56,300 visits, compared to 35,273 in 2006 and 46,398 in 2012.

The market was founded in 1998, and runs for 21 Sundays from May through October. An additional nine winter markets are held October through December.

VanDeKinder credited market manager Helen Fathers – a White Rock councillor – with moving the market “into its extremely successful path.”

‘More information’ needed before voting, suggests councillor

Support for bylaw

Council defers medical-marijuana vote

A bylaw that will help the City of White Rock recoup the costs of dealing with properties where controlled-substance activity has occurred received unanimous support from council last week.

The Controlled Substance Property Bylaw will give the city authority to inspect, require remediation and recoup costs associated with unauthorized alterations that are often part of the illegal activity, as well as costs to address health and safety risks.

Council voted (with Coun.

Larry Robinson absent) to give the bylaw first, second and third reading.

A vote on bylaw amendments that would prohibit medical-marijuana operations in White Rock has been deferred.

At the suggestion of Coun. Al Campbell, council voted unanimously last week (with Coun. Larry Robinson absent) to hold off on making a decision.

Davies said in 2010, only 70 of 30,000 licensed medical-marijuana growers in Canada were found to be growing outside of their licence.

Forty of those 70 were involved in organized crime, she said.

“We patients are not the criminal element, but we are being thrown under the bus because of 70.

“I don’t want to see us to be part of the problem.”

The issue is expected to be addressed at council on March 10.

Too many individuals do not, and when the time comes, it can be a very painful and challenging time – not only are the wishes and preferences of the individuals not discussed, families are also conflicted with what they want vs what the individual wants and making decisions in already highly stressful times can be that much more challenging.

Owner Megan Ferris – who is also one of the onsite groomers – has been working with dogs for 15 years, and believes exercise, mental stimulation and affection as well as structure and consistency are the keys to a dog’s happiness.

This kennel-free, clean environment – with access to a supervised outdoor area – is the perfect spot for your pooch to socialize with some pals and get some much-needed play time in.

The staff at Dog Utopia are true dog lovers, and are thrilled to be able to spend their days doing something they are passionate about. Their dedication is evident in the care and attention they pay each and every dog that comes through the door.

Q Are locally made

About 8 years ago Leanne became a loyal Cobs Bread customer and actually phoned their head office in Vancouver to inquire about becoming an owner of her own Cobs Bread bakery. At that time they were not franchising in Canada.

Fast forward 6 years and Leanne decided it was time to fulfill her lifelong dream of owning her own business. She contacted Cobs in Vancouver knowing that the bakery in Ocean Park was for sale. As a resident of South Surrey this was a great fit. “Owning a business close to home is so important to me because this is my community where I live, where I work and where I raise my children with my husband.“ Leanne has been baking and cooking all her life and loves creating something delicious out of raw ingredients. “My lifetime collection of cook books is a very rewarding hobby.”

“Cobs has been very supportive of my creative needs as can be seen in our marble rye bread that we bake Monday through Saturday. This is a recipe that we helped develop in our bakery.”

On March 1st, Leanne celebrated her first anniversary of owning the Cobs Bread bakery in Ocean Park. “We put our heart and soul into everything we bake and I think that shows”, she says.

One of the many unique breads that Leanne’s team bakes every week is a very special Challah bread. “This is a recipe that I created at home over many months prior to owning my own bakery.

Cobs has been so supportive of my creativity and after trying my recipe for themselves and loving it, we now we bake it for our customers every Friday. This is truly a beautiful edible piece of bread art! “ Family and community spirit are crucial to Leanne, so on Sundays kids can come in and decorate their own fun buns. “We call it Fun Bun Sundays!”, Leanne says. “My kids love decorating cookies, cupcakes, really anything so we thought we should do something like that for all kids”.

Giving back to the community is something that Leanne has always believed in. At the end of every day we give the bread we have left to one of several charitable organizations.

We also have several local schools on our dough raiser program. Leanne knows how hard it is for schools to raise funds and it’s another way Leanne gives back. “Every time a parent from one of these schools comes into our bakery a percentage of their purchase goes back to their school at the end of the year. It’s a great way to raise extra money for the schools.”

Leanne and her team are very proud members of the local community and love being the local bakers of fine breads and more!

Financial Planning Dragana Sanderson, PFP ABOUT MY BUSINESS: Q Retirement planning Q Investment strategies Q Financial planning Q Full-service investment brokerage Q Global and domestic discretionary investment management Q Comprehensive estate planning Q Private banking services Q Business Succession planning Q Tax Planning With 35 years of experience in the banking industry, there are few better masters of the financial planning craft than Dragana Sanderson.

Dragana joined RBC in 1979, and worked in a number of positions including branch management.

She received her Personal Financial Planning Designation in 2000 and has focused on financial planning for more than a decade.

“I help clients with investment solutions and strategies for their retirement planning,” says Dragana. “Effectively I advise them as to how to create their retirement paycheques.”

Dragana says the need to plan for retirement is ever-present, even more so now, with the baby boomers now reaching their golden years.

“We have over 2,000 Canadians turning 65 every day. My role as an advisor is to help educate them and provide them with the tools and a plan as to how they are going to address both their living expenses and lifestyle expenses.”

While it’s never too early to start planning for retirement, it is also never too late.

Priorities will change with the demographics and Dragana is well equipped to accommodate clients of all ages.

“More and more, people are wondering ‘Should I add more to my registered plan? Do I need to look at topping up my TFSA? What is best for me?’ A lot of it has to with how much income will be coming in the future and evaluating the clients’ needs. I spend a fair bit of time focusing on the clients’ priorities.”

Retirement planning is only one aspect of Dragana’s expertise. Another area where she can offer invaluable advice is in estate planning and business succession planning.

“There is so much there,” she says. “From income splitting, to how it all affects your taxes, there is a lot to cover in that regard as well.”

For all your retirement, investment and financial planning needs, call Dragana at RBC today, 604-838-7568.

Q Fit, design and manufacture dentures at our inhouse laboratory Q Offer the latest in denture technology (over 12 denture options) Q New patients always welcome - call today to schedule your complimentary consultation with us Despite the many advancements in denture technology, many denture wearers still suffer with illfitting dentures.

Aside from inflammation of the gums and soreness, the wrong fit can lead to poor diet, a lower nutritional intake and a whole host of health and digestive problems.

According to registered denturist Tanya Little – owner of Envision Denture and Implant Centre in South Surrey – dentures over implants have become the way of the future, solving the problem of ill-fitting dentures.

“As little as two small implants in the lower jaw can create a stable denture and preserve the bone,” noted Little, a White Rock resident who has been helping people smile and feel more confident for more than 10 years.

“Gone is the worry about the lower denture slipping up and out. Dentures over implants have a success rate of more than 98 per cent and are well-tolerated.”

In addition to implants, there are several types of denture teeth available, according to Little, who emphasizes that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ option.

“It is no longer necessary for dentures to look false – other options include genderspecific teeth with varying shapes, sizes and cosmetic shades available.”

And while many put off the purchase of new dentures in fear of breaking the bank, most insurance plans cover the cost.

“Insurance will allow new dentures every five years with relines allowed every two to three years,” said Little.

Joining Little at Envision Denture and Implant Centre is fellow registered denturist Gordon Brown, Nicole their dental technician and two friendly reception staff, who will book necessary appointments, take care of any insurance information and make a nice cup of coffee for patients.

To book a complimentary consultation at the #104-2055 152 St. clinic, give them a call today at 604-538-3384, email info@envisiondenture.com or visit www.envisiondenture. com “We love being a part of the smile-making process,” said Little. “It truly is a unique profession to be involved in.”

Since taking over the charming South Surrey boutique store in September, owners Andrea Becir and Laura Shovlain have settled into their space and are thrilled to share all their new ideas and products with their customers.

Q NEXT SESSION BEGINS MID-APRIL Modern neuroscience research validates the wisdom of the 3000-year-old yoga tradition, that healing happens when the nervous system is relaxed, the body is calm and steady, the heart opens, and a deeper connection to self, others and the outer world is experienced. Medical research proves yoga helps +50 health issues including back pain, high blood pressure, headaches, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, asthma and arthritis.

Using experiential anatomy, gentle and safe alignment and movement repatterning, restorative postures, breath work, mindfulness and other yoga therapy tools, students and teacher work together to create simple programs that are practical, doable and tailored to meet individual needs.

Most importantly students are motivated to participate in their own healing process.

25 years experience as a massage therapist and yoga teacher have taught Leila that suffering on any level is a wake-up call to heal aspects of life that are out of balance.

Centerpoint Yoga Therapy offers practical tools from the art and science of yoga that enable students to live a healthier, balanced and satisfying life.

Having recently returned from a buying trip to Toronto and New York, the duo is excitedly anticipating the arrival of some new lines they know their customers will love.

WHAT WE OFFER:

ABOUT MY BUSINESS:

Q One-of-a-kind pieces

Q Extensive background in construction, landscape/horticulture business administration, and sales

Q Custom designs Q Custom accessorizing Q Antiques Looking for that unique accessory?

Want a one-of-a-kind piece?

Joanne Morrison and her daughter Genevieve Fraser, have the perfect store for you.

Just Jewellery at South Surrey’s High Street development (#6 2970 King George Blvd.)

Is the Peninsula’s “place to go” for unique sterling silver jewellery.

“Just Jewellery is turning 11 this year,” says Joanne. “We’re definitely not your typical jewellery store, we have so many one-ofa-kind pieces in non traditional settings.”

It was a love of the unique and an eye for quality that lead the two into such a specialized field, offering creations in sterling silver and gemstones from local artists ( Joanne and Genevieve’s works included) as well as designs from artisans throughout the world.

Not sure how to accessorize that outfit? “We can Help.” Says Joanne.

“We encourage clients to bring in their outfits, women are really visual, describing a dress doesn’t work as well as bringing it in.” “Once in-store, we can make the best possible accessory choice.”

Just Jewellery was an offshoot of Morrison’s previous business, White Rock Antiques.

Not surprising then that she has returned to her roots, and has added an antique element to her merchandise.

“The new store is big, so we have brought in some antiques to sell and add character to the store,” says Joanne.

So, whether you are hunting for that special new piece for your collection, or wanting a gift for a loved one or friend, it feels good giving a quality keepsake which will last for years to come.

Thank you for supporting local women in business.

Q Offer clients up-to-date knowledge and expertise with individualized, personal attention from start to finish and beyond.

Buying or selling a home has become an increasingly complex process over the last few years. Having an experienced, dedicated realtor on your side is essential.

Laura Thibeault, realtor with HomeLife Benchmark Realty, has spent the past 12 years offering clients her expertise and loyalty along with a commitment to constantly improved service with new knowledge and technologies.

Real estate wasn’t a planned career. “I was helping a friend look at a house she wanted to buy,” Laura explains. “She turned to me and said, ‘Why aren’t you selling me this house? We laugh about it now, but it was my friend’s desire for personal attention and answers she wasn’t getting from her agent that started my real estate career.”

“Because I prefer not to run a big number of listings or buyers at the same time, I’m free to give my clients more individual attention,” Laura says. “We talk about whether to sell or renovate, where and when to buy, which trades to use for upgrading work and how to make the best use of time and resources.”

“My job is to help clients close the door on their old life in a property that no longer fits and help them open the door to celebrate a new life in their new home.”

Laura works with numerous community organizations and has received several awards in recognition of her efforts: Ocean Park Business Person of the Year, Fraser Valley Board’s Realtors Make Good Neighbours and finalist for Business Person of the Year for the Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards.

A part of this community for almost 30 years, Laura is a firm believer in supporting the local economy and particularly, a long time advocate of the Ocean Park Business Association.

“Our small businesses are the lifeblood of this community,” she says. “They provide employment, often hiring our kids for their first jobs; they donate to our schools and charities. We all provide for each other’s livelihoods by choosing to work with and buy from one another.”

Q Mirrors Q Shower doors Q Lots more!

Did you know that proper windshield installation is as important to your safety as seat belts, air bags and anti-lock brakes? That’s right! Today, auto glass is more than just a shield to protect the driver and occupants from wind, weather and debris. Now the windshield also keeps you and your family from being thrown from the vehicle in case of a collision and adds to the structural strength of the vehicle as a whole.

Proper auto glass installation is the key to your safety. There is a right way and wrong way to install auto glass. Auto glass installation requires a very strong yet flexible adhesive to bond the glass to the vehicle frame. This adhesive must have great strength to withstand the pressures put upon it in the event of a collision. The most widely used adhesive is called “automotive grade urethane.”

When it comes to repair, replacement and installation, the government-certified technicians at Broco Auto Glass can do it all – cracked or chipped windshields; car, truck and van windows; glass doors; store front glass and more! They also custommake and install glass, wall mirrors and sandblasted glass art work. As an extra incentive for customers to get their damaged windshields fixed, Broco owner Larisa Zenin-Segrc is offering rock-chip repairs for just $25 (50 per cent off) for the entire month of March.

This offer is just one example of how Larisa and the Broco team go above and beyond when it comes to customer service, which has earned them a trusted reputation in the community.

“We are proud of our reputation in the industry,” Larisa says. “Broco was the first auto glass shop to be approved by both the BCAA and the ICBC Glass Express program. However, what I find the most rewarding is our ability to provide truly caring service to our customers. That’s what being a community business is all about.”

Q Amy and the “Ladies of Shibui” are thrilled to now have their lovely new Spa in Ocean Park for the past year.

Q Professionally trained stylists Q Men’s women’s and children’s services Q Welcoming, friendly atmosphere Q Personal & private wig-fittings Q 65+ pricing offered A visit to the hair dressers should be a relaxing and rejuvenating experience and leave with a boost of self esteem and confidence. That’s the experience you’ll receive at Mareth’s Hair Studio. The dynamic team of stylists make it their priority to create a friendly and positive atmosphere.

As a stylist and former hair instructor, Mareth and her staff continue to be aware of new trends and the ongoing need for change. Whether it’s a body perm, for that gentle waves look, highlights, low-lights, precision cutting, coloring, men’s hair styling or hair and scalp treatments.

“Being able to connect with clients is one of the most important and rewarding aspects of this business. It is what enables us to provide our clients with everchanging styles and constant creativity. Everybody’s hair, skin tone and face shape is unique. A great stylist knows how to tailor his or her work to bring out the best in all three.”

If the idea of an all-over colour makes you nervous, Mareth suggests foils, which provide depth and shine “without the shock of a radical change.” Try the popular ombre look in colouring.

Mareth’s goal to help people with cancer by providing private and compassionate wig service has proved to be essential on the Peninsula. This service is by appointment only.

The studio provides a wide range of products to enhance the ever-changing styles.

For a consultation on your new fashion colour, razor cut, texturizing, see Mareth and her team of highly qualified stylists.

“My staff are my friends and we constantly give our commitment to excellence.”

Dr. Sandra M. Finch DMD ABOUT MY BUSINESS: Q Comprehensive Dental Care for the quality conscious family Q Proudly serving White Rock & South Surrey for 21 years Q New patients welcome

Certified Practitioner

Professional Teeth Whitening

The more we learn about how teeth are worn down, says Dr. Sandra Finch, the better we can find the right balance between improving your appearance and caring for your new look. This means that a complete understanding of wear is critical to keeping your smile looking good. Because we certainly give our teeth a good workout over a lifetime, often the underlying cause of an uneven smile is dayto-day biting, improper alignment or night time grinding. These normal jaw activities can wear our pearly whites irregularly, and that will eventually cause concern.

Dr. Finch has pursued advances in care since opening a clinic on the peninsula in 1993. Offering all aspects of general dentistry, Dr. Finch’s office specializes in comprehensive dental care and appearance related dentistry including the health and maintenance of the gums and the supporting tissues of your teeth.

She is a UBC grad whose dedication to ‘hands on’ dental education brings leading treatments to the peninsula. Her training in cast gold restorations, and post-graduate studies in Louisiana, Dallas, San Francisco and Seattle, are an example of her passion for excellence.

“I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with and learn from quite literally some of the very best dentists in Canada and the United States.”

Dr. Finch is also a certified practitioner in the administration of Botox Cosmetic™.

“I see my ability to offer Botox to my patients as a natural evolution in dentistry and providing the services that the image conscious patient wants” Botox can be used to relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, giving the face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. What better way to complement your new smile than with your face at its natural best?

Caree Ludwar, owner

Edie Takahashi Personal Real Estate Corp.

ABOUT MY BUSINESS: Q Founder and owner celebrating 10th year

WHAT I OFFER:

Q Recent recipient of Business Excellence Award

Q 10 years experience

Q Cutting-edge technology offered by experienced staff

Q Residential and commercial

Q Evening & weekend appointments available on request With a team of dedicated staff and a commitment to helping Peninsula residents look and feel their best with the latest revolutionary beauty treatments, it’s no wonder New Beauty Institute was recently recognized by the local business community.

Just a few months after celebrating 10 years in business, owner Caree Ludwar and her team at New Beauty Institute were recently presented the Business Excellence Award for the category of one to seven employees; an honour presented by the SS/WR Chamber of Commerce.

The most popular and effective age-defying treatment is Ultherapy, – Caree’s own secret weapon on aging. This non-surgical procedure targets the muscle first, then the dermis, and then the epidermis. Targeting all three layers results in an immediate improvement in the youthful appearance of the face lasting for 2-4 years depending on your age. Ultherapy achieves undeniable skin-tightening with no recovery time. “The results have exceeded our expectations,” she said.

Caree, the owner of New Beauty, has been trained and certified in the USA, France and Canada – this is Caree’s signature treatment. This treatment provides an uplift to the chin, jowl and brow. You can start with the jowls, and when clients see it working they often come back to have the eyes done as well, erasing years from the face. Eyes are one of the most popular areas to treat and involves lifting the hooding of the eyelid which opens up the eyes.

Bat wings are another popular “trouble spot” that our clients target with this treatment.

New Beauty will be hosting an Ultherapy Informational Evening on Thursday, March 6, from 2-5:30 p.m. at their 112-1656 Martin Dr. clinic, featuring free demonstrations and consultations. New Beauty is offering its Hydra Facial/Hydra Peel for just $99 for a limited time. Proven effective for all skin types this 30-minute treatment delivers instant results with no discomfort or downtime. The hydra facial combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration all while delivering antioxidants.

Math That Makes Sense To Kids

Q Master Medallion (6 years running) When buying or selling a home, confidence in the realtor is of utmost priority.

Edie Takahashi, Personal Real Estate Corporation, of Sutton Group West Coast Realty, recognizes the importance of her service and takes enormous pride in her career.

“Being in real estate, you are dealing with people’s precious commodities; their homes and their finances,” says Edie. “It’s a very important step for the buyers and sellers. So having a real understanding, having the integrity and having the knowledge and expertise are all keys to being the professional that clients expect.”

Edie Takahashi’s track record is a testament of her professionalism. She is a Master Medallion Award recipient, which puts her in very exclusive company. “The Master Medallion is an award that recognizes the top 10 per cent of all (2,800 approx) realtors in the Fraser Valley,” says Edie. “So being the top 10 per cent for six consecutive years… I take it very seriously.”

A realtor for the past 10 years, Edie says it is the ideal profession for her.

“My background is very much construction-related,” she explains. “From management, and working in all kinds of building supplies areas, I’ve always been in the industry in some form. And I love meeting and dealing with people, so it’s a perfect fit for me.”

For Edie, nothing can compare to the feeling of gratification she gets from finding the ideal property for her buyers, or the right buyer for her sellers.

“I love it! My biggest thrill is when I see their faces light up when they get that home, or with the successful sale of their home. It’s absolutely wonderful!”

Although specializing in residential properties – her listings range in value from $150,000 to $5 million – Edie also deals with commercial buyers and sellers.

Edie can be contacted at Sutton West Coast Realty at 604-538-8888, or visit her website at www.edietakahashi.ca to see all her listings!

ABOUT MY BUSINESS:

Q One-on-one instruction

Q Eye exams (optometrist)

Q Custom learning plans

Q Eye glasses, contact lenses

Q Gym-like memberships with unlimited attendance

Q Sunglasses

Is math a troubling subject for your children? It no longer has to be that way, thanks to Barindra Dua.

Q High definition lenses

Barindra has opened South Surrey’s own Mathnasium franchise – a unique math only learning centre that uses fun, easy-to-learn techniques to help students with the oftconfusing subject.

“We make math make sense – we make math fun for kids,” says Barindra. “We offer after-school math programs for students who are not just behind, but also for students who want to either maintain their levels or even get ahead. Catch up, keep up, and get ahead! That’s what we say.”

The learning centre, located at 3268 King George Boulevard, is one of the community’s newest businesses. “I’ve been in business coming up to nine months now,” says Barindra.

With more than 400 franchises throughout North America, Mathnasium is a proven technique with consistent results. The business is the brainchild of Los Angeles native Larry Martinek, who was inspired by his mathematically-gifted son to find a better way to teach children math.

Barindra’s inspiration was similar.

“When my older son was in Grade 2, I was helping him, and I was not too impressed with the books and the kind of curriculum he was bringing in. As I helped him, he thoroughly enjoyed it. That’s what led me to thinking that I could do this for others.”

The Mathnasium franchise opportunity was, quite literally, a logical next step. “Everything about Mathnasium is logic-based,” explains Barindra. “We move it from memorization - the traditional way math is taught – and we break it down into a very logical method. We help them build their Number Sense – a critical foundation for understanding math.”

Barindra provides the service for all school-aged students, from Grades 1-12. The name of the company reflects its philosophy: it’s like a gym workout for the brain. “And it works just like a gym membership. You pay one monthly fee and you come as many times a week as you want,” says Barindra. There are year-round programs, homework help, summer programs, and Barindra is offering a Spring Break program as well.

For more information, call Barindra at 604-385-3100.

Q Sports glasses Eyesight is our most important sense and since eyewear is the first noticed accessory in a person’s wardrobe, why not ensure your eye care suits your needs and brings out your style.

Jas Sra and her White Rock Deziner Eye Care team ensure they help clients look better, see better, and feel better about themselves with the latest eyewear.

Being a licensed optician with the College of Opticians and having more than 15 years of experience in the eye care industry, Jas is well versed in the retail eyewear industry.

“Our promise to clients is to fulfill their eye care experience with passion, quality products, and excellent customer service.”

White Rock Deziner Eye Care offers the best in glasses, hi-tech lenses and contact lenses. Complete eye health exams are carefully administered by our licensed optometrist. At White Rock Deziner Eye Care, it is important that we are experts in measuring and fitting clients with the best choices in optics and new lens technology.

We carry the finest quality frames from Gucci, Ray-Ban, Hugo Boss, Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs, as well as high definition lenses from Nikon and Crizal.

White Rock Deziner Eye Care is also the place to shop for top-of-the-line sunglasses, including models from Ray-Ban, Serengeti, Gucci, Maui Jim, Bolle and more.

“Eye exams, glasses, frames, sunglasses, contact lenses (including colored contacts) we have everything under one roof,” says Jas. As the optical market continues to grow, White Rock Deziner Eye Care is committed to servicing the market place with innovative products and ideas. With a strong belief that eyewear is essential, we offer eyewear for the way you live, work and play.

“We have great service, great selection and reasonable prices‚“ says Jas.

ABOUT MY BUSINESS:

ABOUT MY BUSINESS:

Q 26 years of experience in real estate Q Offer clients undivided attention Q True passion for the business Q Longtime Semiahmoo Peninsula resident When it comes to being a businesswoman in today’s fast-paced world, Susan Vollmer considers herself one of the lucky ones. The Peninsula-based realtor with RE/MAX Colonial Pacific Realty has been working in her industry for 26 years, and says she couldn’t be happier with her career.

“I love this business, I love the office I work in. It’s a fabulous place to work,” Susan says. “I believe that balance is everything – I have a happy business and happy life.”

Unlike many realtors who spend their time and energy prospecting for new clients, Susan spends her time concentrating on her current customers, and giving them all she can throughout the important process of buying or selling a home. As a result, Susan relies on referrals and word-of-mouth from past clients for the majority of her business – a testament to the hard work and individual attention she dedicates to each of her clients, whether it’s a $300,000 condo or a multi-million dollar mansion.

She recognizes the importance of building trusting relationships with her customers, which is one of many aspects of her career that she finds rewarding and enjoyable.

Another great part of working as a realtor, Susan notes, is the flexibility that comes with being your own boss.

“There’s a feeling of freedom with real estate that you can’t get working a traditional job,” she explains. “Realtors probably work more hours in a week than most, but we choose our hours.”

With decades of experience buying and selling homes, a true passion for the business and a great team of colleagues at RE/MAX Colonial Pacific Realty, Susan looks forward to building many more relationships with customers throughout South Surrey and White Rock in the coming years.

For all your real estate needs big or small, contact Susan today. ®

Q Authentic, unique native art Q Family-run business Q Showcase work of local artists

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,” 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.”

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.”

Trish, Adanna, Lisa, Vanessa & Nicole

Q Running shoe headquarters on the Peninsula Q Trained and knowledgable staff Q Unbeatable selection of running shoes

When Lisa Farrow walked into Peninsula Runners 17 years ago, she did not intend to get a job.

After coming up to owner Paul to make a purchase, the sales till began to have a little trouble.

So Lisa did what any woman would do.

“I came around the counter and rang in my own sale. No joke!” she laughed. “I was like, let’s do this, we can do this.”

Taking on the manager position at the store was a perfect fit for the physically active Peninsula resident, she said.

Since then, Lisa has been witness to the significant changes in the industry, including the selection.

“When Peninsula Runners first opened, there were only 9 models of running shoes, and now we have nearly half our wall space is dedicated to just shoes,” she said. “Technology has helped to make shoes lighter, more cushioned and long-lasting, which, of course, always benefits the customer.”

The store’s wide selection, combined with their knowledgeable staff is perfect for customers who want the best service when buying new gear for their runs, hikes and walks.

Joining Lisa at Peninsula Runners is a great team of women who work hard to contribute to the store’s stellar reputation.

Trish – who Lisa refers to as their “merchandiser extraordinaire” – is a longtime South Surrey resident and avid runner with a wealth of knowledge, who joined the team in 2000.

Nicole is a University student who participates in both the marathon clinic and is a leader for the 10k clinic. Vanessa, also a University student is a leader in the 10k clinic and competes in track at an elite level. And Adanna is a local high school student, recreational runner and also a leader for the 10k clinic.

“I’m really proud of my girls,” says Lisa.

The team at Peninsula Runners provides support, not only for their customers, but also out in the community, hosting several running clinics for all experience levels, as well as popular races around the Fraser Valley.

An added bonus is that all the races and events hosted by Peninsula Runners are not profit-driven, Lisa said.

“Each dollar we earn in profit from these races will go to a cause because anytime wehost an event, it should benefit the communities we serve,” she said.

So whether you’re looking to get back into shape or training for a marathon, make Peninsula Runners your running headquarters.

ABOUT MY BUSINESS: Q Laser hair removal Q Anti-aging facials Q Skin tightening Q Photo rejuvenation Every woman enjoys a spa day.

Christine Hu has taken the spa day to a new, more intense level, with the opening of Beauty Magic Medi-Spa. Medi-spa treatments focus on, as the name suggests, a higher medicinal healing result.

The difference is in the technology – and the touch.

Christine, a long-time licensed esthetician and a graduate of All Body Laser Corp. Training Institute in Port Coquitlam, uses state of the art equipment and years of training to provide clientele with services such as deep skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, facials, and body massages.

“The products and equipment that I use are more corrective than your typical beauty spas,” says Christine. “The differences are substantial. If I were to give a regular facial, the results are rather small, not too noticeable. But with a medical facial, like an anti-aging facial, you see instant results and the results last longer.”

The laser photo rejuvenation, for instance, is a deep-penetrating procedure, ideal for skin damaged by acne, sun, or simple aging.

“If someone is looking for a really, really intensive treatment, they should come to me,” says Christine.

Beauty Magic Medi-Spa is located at Phenomena Hair Design, at Suite 130-5620 152 St. and is open during the salon’s regular business hours Monday to Saturday. Call or email to book an appointment.

First time clients receive 30% off any skin care treatments

11 years older!

11 years more experience!

11 years and still having fun Thanks to everyone for making our first 11 years on East Beach a successful and happy experience. If you haven’t found us yet, we’re situated on East Beach under the Ocean Promenade Hotel.

We open every morning at 7 a.m. Our homemade fresh scones and muffins are extremely popular and our house coffee as well as our espresso drinks receive plenty of compliments. We have a breakfast menu which is served all day, and as lunch time approaches you can enjoy fresh hearty sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads. For those who need a sweet finish, our cookies, loaves and brownies are great and all made on the premises.

Q Emphasis on one-on-one care for each and every patient Q Wide range of dental services offered in a comfortable environment Q Provide patients with current and comprehensive information What a fantastic year it has been both professionally and personally.

I want to take this opportunity to thank our patients and my staff for welcoming us to the community. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone. The staff and I have had a wonderful experience promoting oral health to our patients and their families.

I opened the dental clinic just over a year ago, and since then we have made a few changes including an increase in our hours. Listening to our clients’ feedback, we are now open 5 days a week and late on Mondays. We know how busy life can be and we hope this makes it easier to come see our team of dental care professionals.

We have one of the best views on Marine Drive, which you can enjoy from our patio, or have ‘food to go’ and enjoy the beach.

We have also seen change within our own family this year. My husband Brock and I welcomed our third son Bradley. As a family we definitely feel like we have found a home here in White Rock. Our oldest son Keith is now attending White Rock Elementary School and it is always great bumping into patients around the neighbourhood.

In need of catering for a business or family lunch or special occasion?

Please give us a call or come in and collect a menu. We are updating our catering menu which will be available soon. See you at the beach!

If you are located in the South Surrey, White Rock, Ocean Park or Crescent Beach area then we hope that you will come visit us for “one on one” dental care from the best team in the peninsula.

ABOUT MY BUSINESS: Q Safe environment for dogs to have fun Q Large property, no crates Q No-bullying policy enforced among dogs Q On-site grooming services available Since opening six months ago in South Surrey, Doggonit Doggy Daycare has been providing excellent care, refuge and playtime for all breeds and sizes of dogs.

With over 15 years’ experience working with dogs, owner Melanie and husband Lee operate Doggonit on a 1.7acre property near Morgan Crossing. Spacious fenced areas for dogs to run and play, plus a renovated barn that’s been converted into relaxing ‘dog lounges’ are the physical heart of this doggy daycare. The dogs receive lavish amounts of attention with plenty of one-on-one time as well as monitored playtime.

Doggonit is a small capacity daycare. There won’t be fifty dogs on site nor are there any crates in which the dogs are placed during down time. They focus on a smaller group of dogs and nap time is in the dog lounge in the barn. In the warmer, drier months, the dogs are free to lounge about outside, sunning themselves in the fresh air on the country-like property.

At Doggonit, owners and dogs have an initial meeting with Lee and Melanie where they discuss the needs of everyone and an assessment is done to determine if the dog will be a good fit for the Doggonit family. Big or small, timid or energetic, Melanie and Lee offer a safe environment for dogs to run and be happy, get affection and guidance and to feel loved and secure when they’re away from home.

Since opening, Doggonit has developed a strong core group of dogs who have become family to Melanie and Lee (and their own dogs Jasper and Lemon) and have connected with some amazing people in the community.

New to the Doggonit services is a partnership with Aussie Pet Mobile Groomers, offering grooming on site. Know your dog is taken care of for the day in daycare and also groomed at your convenience.

In recent years, more owners have become aware of holistic and natural care for their dogs.

Doggonit supports owners in their efforts to do the best for their dogs and offer plenty of information regarding local resources for holistic care, diet & nutrition and suppliers in the area. Call or email Melanie and Lee to arrange for a tour or to learn more about Doggonit Doggy Daycare. You can also visit their website at www.doggonitdaycare.com.

Death and the Maiden

Café, 100-2950 King George Blvd.

The show, which includes paintings and works in fused glass, stained glass and ceramics, will run to March 31.

The cafe also features a live music open mic hosted by Dennis Peterson the first and third Saturday of each month (sometimes even the fifth), occasional solo-to-trio concerts on other Saturdays, a monthly ‘art journal jam’ with Violette Clark, and painting workshops with Ellen Bradley-Cheung once or twice a month.

For more information on all events, call 778-989-0369.

Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman’s searing psychological thriller, Death and the Maiden runs March 5 to 8 at Coast Capital Playhouse, presented by Peninsula Productions.

Directed by Wendy Bollard the show – not for the faint of heart – features Lori Tych, Ben Odberg and Guy Fauchon in a twisted study of a woman who wants to exact revenge on the man who she alleges, raped and tortured her while she was a political prisoner.

The result is a “riveting intellectual and emotional tugof-war” in which every account and interpretation of past events is called into question.

Death and the Maiden is presented with a warning of extremely strong language and mature themes.

Tickets ($23, $18 students/seniors, plus service charges) are available from 604-536-7535, or online at www. peninsulaproductions.org

Mother-daughter show Art work by Katherine Siemens and daughter Savannah Chanel is featured at Laura’s Coffee Corner (15208 Pacific Ave. at Five Corners) until March 15.

Siemens’ current acrylic/mixed media work is inspired by exoticism, religious and mystical iconography and vintage graphics, while Chanel’s latest work draws on dreams, faerie lore and Celtic culture.

For information, call 604-538-6600.

Aladdin Jr. The Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) presents Disney’s Aladdin Jr. March 8 (5 and 7 p.m.) and March 9 (2:30 p.m.) at White Rock Elementary Theatre, 1273 Fir St. Based on the ever-popular animated movie (score by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice) SYTCO’s production takes audiences on a live-action trip to “Agrabah, City of Enchantment – where every beggar has a story and every camel has a tail.”

All the favourite characters and songs (A Whole New World and Friend Like Me) are there in a production full of mayhem and magic, directed by SYTCO founder Susan Pendleton and choregraphed by Carol Seitz.

Featured players include Jessana Akehurst as Aladdin, Vianne Chang as Jasmine, Anya Haider as the Genie, Jodi-Ann Wang as Jafar, Tia Berezan as Iago, Julia Kelleway as Carpet and Gurpreet Dosanjh as the Sultan.

A reduced ticket price is available for bookings for both this show and SYTCO’s upcoming Pinkalicious - The Musical (May 31 and June 1).

Fraser Valley title

Hoops team eyes provincials

Cats claw Talons

Storm claim Valley title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Tamanawis Wildcats have ended one 33-year stretch without a championship by senior boys basketball teams in Surrey.

Now they have a chance to bring an end to another.

The Wildcats defeated the Gleneagle Talons of Coquitlam 86-79 in overtime Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) in the championship game of the Fraser Valley Senior 4A championship.

Not since the 1981 North Surrey Spartans has a public school in Surrey won a Fraser Valley boys high school basketball championship at the highest level; White Rock Christian Academy has been the only local team to win since.

That North Surrey team went on to win the B.C. championship, which is also the last time a public school from Surrey has won provincials.

Tamanawis will get a chance to end that streak at the 2014 B.C. championship tournament March 12-15, also at the LEC. Sukhjot Bains was named the tournament’s most valuable player, after netting a game-high 43 points in the championship game. Parm Bains, who sunk a three-point shot with three seconds to play to force overtime, and Wildcats teammate Sukhman Sandhu, were second-team all-stars.

This will be the fourth appearance by the Wildcats at the top-level provincial tournament, their most recent appearance in 2012.

Tamanawis Wildcats’ Sukhjot Bains takes a shot in Saturday’s Fraser Valley final. Bains was MVP. team in the province, was one of two Surrey schools to advance to the Senior 4A provincial tournament. The third-ranked Holy Cross Crusaders will also play in the B.C. championship tournament, their first ever at the 4A level.

South Surrey’s Semiahmoo Totems were aiming for

a berth in the provincial showdown, but were ousted from contention after a 99-98 overtime loss to W.J Mouat on Feb. 24.

The Totems, seeded 11th, opened the Valleys with a win over Johnston Heights, but lost their second game to No. 6 Pitt Meadows before the Mouat heartbreaker.

“It was do or die, and we died,” said Semi coach Ed Lefurgy.

“We had such a great season though, but we just came up a little bit short.”

In the third-place game, the Holy Cross Crusaders fell 66-65 to the Walnut Grove Gators.

The Southridge Storm have another Fraser Valley boys basketball banner to add to their collection.

On Feb. 22, the Storm won their third Fraser Valley AA boys hoops championship with a 73-62 win over Pacific Academy. Both schools, plus third-place Delview, advance to provincials, which begin Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre.

“We’ve always been in the mix (at Fraser Valleys), we’ve won it three times and finished second a few times, too, but it’s nice to win it again,” said Storm coach Steve Anderson.

Southridge headed into the Fraser Valley tournament with a 5-4 record in league play, but they didn’t play like a middle-of-the-pack team at Valleys, which – aside from firstround games – were hosted by G.W. Graham Secondary in Chilliwack.

“We weren’t really one of the favourites, but we knew what we had, and we just peaked at the right time,” said Anderson. “We started paying better attention to details on defence.”

In the first round, Southridge – seeded third – defeated No. 5 Thomas Haney 92-50, but games were much tougher the rest of the way.

The next game, Southridge edged No. 2 seed Archbishop Carney by a single point – 73-72 – and in semifinals snuck past Delview by the exact same score.

In the latter game, Southridge trailed by 16 points with seven minutes remaining, before storming back for the win.

“Two one-point games… nothing is easy,” Anderson said.

Coming into the tournament as an underdog, Anderson said he could see his team’s confidence growing with every game, and he hopes it will continue to blossom.

“When we got to just eight teams left (at Valleys), we felt like we had the ability to do it,” he said. “And once we won semifinals, and already had a spot in provincials, the guys didn’t let up. You could tell that they knew the job was not done.”

Southridge’s first game at provincials is against Gibson’s Elphinstone Secondary, with tipoff at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday.

Anderson hopes his team’s provincial run will be buoyed by the return of Grade 12 guard, and co-captain, Austin Chang, who has missed nearly the entire season with a serious knee injury.

“It’s just fantastic that he’s maybe going to be able to come back. He’s very happy about it, and I think it’ll give the team a boost.”

Zhao was particularly dominant in the men’s 16-and-under freestyle swim events, finishing first in the 200-, 400-, 800 and 1,500-m distances, while also scooping silver medals in the 50- and 100-m free events.

MURPHY AND MURPHY

Division rivals set for best-of-seven BCHL playoff series

Eagles, Rivermen to square off Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Twelve months ago, the Surrey Eagles went into the BC Hockey League playoffs as the de facto favourites.

They’d breezed through the regular season as the top squad, routinely leaving good teams in their wake.

They’d loaded up an already deep roster at the trade deadline, too – specifically, by adding future NHL draft pick Adam Tambellini – and were primed for a long post-season run which eventually ended at the RBC Cup. My, have things changed in a year.

Now, the Eagles head into the playoffs – which begin today (Tuesday) – as David, rather than Goliath, as they’re set for a best-of-seven series against the Langley Rivermen, who not only finished first in the Mainland Division, but won the Boileau Trophy for the first time in franchise history as the top team in the entire league.

The Eagles, meanwhile, finished fourth,

Garrett James photo

The Eagles and Rivermen are familiar foes, having faced each other eight times.

12 wins and 29 points back of the regularseason champs.

On the plus side, at least, travel should be a breeze.

Games 1 and 2 of the series are set for the Langley Events Centre tonight and tomorrow, and the series shifts to South Surrey Friday and Saturday for the next two games. Should a fifth game be neces-

sary, it would be played at the LEC March 10, while Game 6 – again in necessary – is scheduled for March 11 at South Surrey Arena. If the series goes the distance, Game 7 would be played March 12 in Langley, but at the George Preston Centre, rather than the LEC due to a scheduling conflict.

And though the series may look like a mismatch on paper, it has the chance to, in fact, be a closely contested battle.

In eight regular-season matchups this season, the Eagles won just twice – both in overtime – but many of the losses were close, with two of the losses being by one goal, while a third game – a 3-1 loss Oct. 12 – had a one-goal differential until Langley scored an empty-netter with eight seconds left.

Last month, talking about a potential Langley-Surrey matchup, Eagles’ head coach Peter Schaefer commented that in the Mainland Division, anyone seemed to be able to beat anyone on a given day. i see page 32

‘Balance’ key to success i from page 31 “Overall team balance,” said Hen“Anything can happen, it seems,” derson, when asked what the key to his team’s season has been. he said.

“Collectively, we have a bunch of “But if we get Langley, that’s OK. They’re a very good team, but we are different pieces of the puzzle and they very comfortable with that matchup.” all bring something different.”

Where the Rivermen shine is on Rivermen head coach Bobby Hendefence, led by goaltender Brock derson also likes the matchup.

“I think we match up well. I think Crossthwaite. Langley was second in the league, behind only we match up well against Interior Division-chamanybody,” he said. “We have ❝I think we good team speed.

Surrey, by comparison, gave up 232 Smith, who finished atop the scoring goals against and has struggled on table.

But on the flipside, they have a very defence at various points this year, balanced attack with five forwards – especially early in the season, though including McLain, Matt Utaski, Jakob they did score 201 themselves, while Reichert, Austin Azurdia and James Langley scored 200.

The winner of the series will advance Robinson – capable of scoring goals.

OBITUARIES

IN MEMORY OF

THEODORE “TED” WARD LARSON DECEMBER 7TH, 1932 – FEBRUARY 21ST, 2014 Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Julius S. Larson and Petra Larson, née Presthus, both of Trandhjem, Norway; Ted was the last of ten children. He was preceded in death by all but one sibling, his sister Helen Strommen, who resides in Minnesota.

Ted had varied interests and talents, was a Veteran of the US Military, police officer and educated at the University of Arizona receiving his BA in Political Science with a minor in History. He had a big heart, a ready smile and an offering hand to help. Ted found pleasure in sharing special times with his loving wife, Catherine, as well as reading, gardening, home repair, woodworking, traveling, cooking, and catering to his sweet tooth. He dedicated much time to his spiritual devotion, loved the fine arts and had a passion for the symphony. Ted always enjoyed learning and made the best of every moment.

While living in Arizona, Ted met his future wife Catherine Millar and they married at their home in Vancouver, B.C., Canada on August 15, 1977. He and his wife remained living in Canada and always situated themselves near the open water they loved so much. His wife Catherine passed away on July 08, 2012.

Never one to ask for himself, Ted Larson will be forever loved and missed for the love and caring he gave to others.

He is survived by his daughter, Rebecca Olson; his son, Graham Larson (Fiona), his three grandchildren, Abigael, Gordon, and Cameron; his daughter, Erika Gartrell (Joe), his granddaughter, Heather; his sister, Helen Strommen; his stepdaughter, Dorothy Meeks (William) and their four children Clifton Meeks, Emily Cox (Jason), Adam Meeks, Alexys Jack (Derrick) and their two children Thaya Jack, Clara Jack; and many friends.

A special letter of remembrance by Ted’s only surviving sibling, Helen, follows: Dear Graham, Erika and Rebecca…and all of you who knew and loved my brother Teddy, In my world, his name was always Teddy, because of his sweet nature. My story is both sad and beautiful: Sad because we seemed to be separated by so many miles; Beautiful because love was a big factor, and we lived in hopes of “getting together soon.”

Teddy was number 10 (the last child) in our large family. We celebrated when he came - - such a beautiful, sweet little boy, and we wanted to name him well: so he became Theodore, (Greek origin) and means “gift from God.” No spoiled kids in our family. Father Julius was a Norwegian immigrant who attended business college and became an accountant. His plan was for us to get a job and help support our family. Mother Petra was also a Norwegian immigrant and a very good cook who always provided a dessert after every meal.

When ur father died, Petra sent Ted (then 16) to live with my husband and me, along with our first child, in Ellensburg, WA. There Ted had a paper route and even learned to ride a horse When Ted and Dolores had their young family, we did see them on a few occasions, including visits to our home.

However, time took over and we all went our separate ways, with always the hope of “getting together soon!”

We were at the wedding of Ted and Catherine in Vancouver. We last saw Ted and Catherine in 2008 when they drove down to Ellensburg to meet us at our old church’s 100 year celebration.

I was very glad that with his Parkinson’s, Ted was being well cared for at Morgan Place. My family and I were able to speak with Ted by phone, to hear his good nature and share our love with him. Staff people there were always very kind.

Ted now is in the heavenly choir singing with his beautiful voice. And I know that Ted and I, since I’m soon 94, will indeed be “getting together soon.”

My appreciation to all who knew and loved my brother Teddy: Dolores -- mother of his three lovely children; Catherine and her family; Ralph and his wife, who were close friends; and all those in the years between, including my children’s memories of wonderful and handsome Uncle Ted visiting us.

My Love to all of you, Helen Strommen We will miss our Father forever.
