Auditor general slams federal delays in dealing with injured military personnel
Report fuels Veterans Affairs criticism Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Veterans seeking benefits for mental illness and injury are getting a raw deal from the federal government when it comes to timely access, a report from the auditor general confirms. And officials with a local disabled veterans’ rights group say the finding – including that one in six Canadian vets with mental-health issues is waiting more than eight months to find out if their benefits have been approved – proves the outlook for those injured while
serving their country has only dimmed in the past three years. “Veterans matter – and they’re being mistreated,” said Gerry Lenoski, vice-president of the White Rock-based Equitas Society, which is currently pursuing a class-action suit on behalf of disabled veterans. “It doesn’t square with Canadian values.” Lenoski said he is not surprised at outrage being expressed in the wake of Michael Ferguson’s report, which was issued Tuesday. It adds more fuel to a fire of concern over the government’s overall approach to veterans, he said.
Lenoski said it is particularly disturbing at a time when reports have emerged that Veterans Affairs had returned $1.13 billion in unspent money to the federal Treasury since 2006, while eight Veterans Affairs offices across the country were closed earlier this year and the department received budget cuts and layoffs. “You’d think that we would have reached a tipping point, given the litany of outrage over (Veterans Affairs),” Lenoski said. “It hasn’t got better – it’s deteriorated. You wonder how much worse it can get before a political effect takes place at the ballot box.”
Meanwhile, Veterans Affairs minister Julian Fantino – out of the country this week observing ceremonies commemorating Canadian service in Italy during the Second World War – has issued a statement that the Conservative government “accepts all of the recommendations made in the auditor general’s report.” Fantino said he’d recommended a year ago that Ferguson review mental-health supports and, even before receiving the results, had announced a $200-million program of “expanded mental-health initiatives.” i see page 4

Marchbank ‘absolutely the board’s man,’ says new chair
Fraser Health announces new president Jeff Nagel Black Press
A longtime B.C. health administrator is taking charge of the Fraser Health Authority and its $3.1-billion budget. Michael Marchbank will be the health region’s new president and CEO effective Jan. 2. He replaces former president Dr. Nigel Murray, who resigned in June to return to New Zealand as the province was set to unveil reforms at Fraser. Dr. David Ostrow had been acting as interim CEO since then. Marchbank – who will be paid $345,000 a year at Fraser, significantly less than Murray’s total remuneration of $444,000 – is currently president and CEO of the Health Employers’
Association of B.C., which coordinates labour negotiations for the health regions. He has also served as the government’s point man on other issues, most notably over the past year when he was picked to replace school trustees overseeing the B.C. Public School Employers Association in contract bargaining with the B.C. Teachers Federation. At that time, the education minister said the appointment was to let the BCTF bargain directly with the government. Marchbank’s previous positions include chief operating officer of the Provincial Health Services Authority and president and CEO of the Fraser Valley Health Region in the 1990s before the current health authorities were created.

Fatality among injuries
Serious crashes in Surrey Police are continuing to investigate the mayhem that occurred on Surrey roads last weekend as three serious crashes resulted in one fatality. On Saturday, at about 1:45 p.m., a 17-year-old woman driving a Honda Accord westbound on 108 Avenue turned left onto 146 Street and was struck by a Honda CRV. The male passenger of the Accord was in full cardiac arrest and was trapped inside the vehicle. He died at hospital. The woman and driver of the other vehicle were not seriously harmed. Police are also investigating the hit-and-run of a 69-year-old pedestrian that resulted in severe lower-body injuries for the woman. The victim was walking at 92 Avenue and King George Boulevard at 5 p.m. Saturday when she was struck. Police are looking for witnesses, and are urging the driver to come forward. “We have a very good track record of finding drivers and vehicles involved in accidents like these,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “In the majority of cases, it’s when, and not if, (they’re located).” Paquet also notes any passengers in the car should contact police. In a third crash on Saturday, at 7:15 a.m., a grey 2002 Honda van was westbound on 96 Avenue near 140 Street when it drove off the road, smashing into a bus stop. Two occupants were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. While the incident is still under investigation, alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor. The 20-year-old driver was issued a 90-day roadside prohibition and is expected to face charges related to driving while impaired. RCMP is asking anyone who may have witnessed any of the crashes to call 604-599-0502, or to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Early cancellation triggers backlash by several communities
Some flu clinics reinstated for seniors Jeff Nagel Black Press
Fraser Health is reinstating seven flu vaccination clinics for seniors in various community centres after its decision to halt them this year triggered a backlash. More than 40 community centres that hosted seniors flu shot clinics last year were told earlier this fall they would not be run again as, in recent years, people have increasingly gone to pharmacists and doctors’ offices instead. Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review after the NDP made it an issue in the Legislature last week. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said public-health nurses will run clinics after they were requested by the nine community centres. There will be one in White Rock at Centennial Arena, one in Surrey at Guildford, three in Burnaby and others at a friendship centre in Agassiz and a seniors centre in Mission. Two more had initially been scheduled for the White Rock area, but were cancelled due to lack of demand. Times and other details are
to be posted at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu once they’re confirmed. Some other community centres also organized on-site shots by pharmacists, but that option may have been seen by others as “playing favourites” with a particular business, Juma said. She said the main concern was that pharmacies and other locations weren’t as accessible for seniors as the community centres they routinely visit. There have also been complaints of lack of privacy in supermarket pharmacies and administration charges by some pharmacies – which Juma said should not happen for seniors. “If you are eligible for a free flu vaccine shot, there should be no cost whatsoever,” she said, adding such incidents should be reported to the public health unit or College of Pharmacists. “Seniors should not be paying any type of fee to get their flu shot.” The shift in focus away from seniors centres was intended to let public-health staff focus more on other groups, including people in homeless shelters and children under five, who cannot be vaccinated by a pharmacist.
‘No perfect match’ This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said.

Minister says claims will speed up i from page 1 While Ferguson’s report acknowledges some new government health supports for veterans are working – including a rehabilitation program that gave timely support to some 4,600 recently released veterans with mentalhealth conditions – access to the disability benefits program, the usual route for seeking mentalhealth services, is “slow, and the application process is complex.” According to the report, out of close to 3,000 veterans applying for mental-health support last year, 700 had not received an answer in four months and 500 were still awaiting word after eight months. Such a delay could threaten a veteran’s “stabilization and recovery,” the report states. In his statement, Fantino said he has launched a Mental Health Services for Veterans Action Plan to address the issue. “We will improve the disability benefits application process and reduce barriers to timely access to benefits,” he said. “In recent months, we have hired additional people across Canada to eliminate the backlog of unprocessed claims and help speed the transfer of any medical and service documents required for the application process.” Fantino also promised to

Dan Scott was airlifted in 2010, after he was injured in Afghanistan. strengthen outreach efforts, invest in treatment and develop a mental-health first-aid program for veterans and their families. Lenoski said Equitas filed with the B.C. Supreme Court in the fall of 2012 to launch a classaction suit on behalf of all disabled veterans – including those with post-traumatic stress disorder – challenging the federal government’s New Veterans Charter, which reduced benefits for those disabled in the line of duty to a single lump payment. Equitas is arguing that disabled Canadian Forces members receive equal, lifelong benefits consistent with the standard of compensation programs received by Canadian workers. Two years in, Lenoski said, the
Supreme Court is still hearing arguments for approving the suit, including an appeal from the federal government that asserts it does not have a social contract with Canadian Forces veterans. Equitas is arguing that a promise made by former prime minister Robert Borden to Canadian soldiers fighting in the First World War – that they would be protected if maimed, and their families looked after if they were killed – amounts to a social covenant. “I find it interesting that on the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War that the federal government is arguing that Sir Robert Borden’s undertaking was simply a political promise,” Lenoski said.
Research ‘one way to top off pay’ i from page 1 unteer Kwantlen board member, participating in discussion to get around B.C. salary guidelines. NDP leader John Horgan said Monday that the emails were provided from a “whistleblower” at Kwantlen, who found printouts in a binder. Horgan said they contradict an internal investigation by an assistant deputy minister that determined board members were not involved in decisions to pay executives more than provincial rules allowed. The Kwantlen VPA salary was capped at $170,000, less than what Lavack was making in Regina. The emails discuss adding
$100,000 for moving expenses and a $20,000 “research allowance.” Virk confirmed Monday that he wrote in an April 2011 email from his RCMP account: “Given the low pay level of a VPA at Kwantlen and the difficulty in drawing candidates within the current pay scale, the research leave is one way to ‘top’ off the pay level.” Virk said he had forgotten the email exchange, and it will be forwarded to Rob Mingay, the government official who conducted the investigation. Asked if he should remain in cabinet, with authority over postsecondary institutions, Virk said that is up to the premier.
The government’s Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC) set salary ranges for Levack’s position at $125,000 to $175,000. When Levack was hired in 2011, she received the maximum salary, plus a $20,000-a-year research allowance and a $50,000 “consulting fee” before starting work that was not reported to PSEC. Kwantlen president Alan Davis also received extra payments when he was hired earlier in 2011 that were not disclosed to PSEC. Davis received a $50,000 consulting fee in addition to his $225,000 salary and $35,000 to relocate from New York state.

A good deal close to home
M
any Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many of the stores at local malls are U.S.-based chain stores anyways – really, what difference does it make to head south? Well, the truth is, taking your hard-earned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why: jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. If you spend in Washington, you are keeping Americans employed, and that’s a good thing – for Americans. But your neighbours here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids, and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social welfare safety net, including public health care, intact. If that doesn’t convince you to shop local, including during the Dec. 1 to 7 Buy Local Week, here are a few more reasons: • Shopping diversity: Small business owners offer unique products that you can’t get anywhere else, and our marketplace would be poorer without them. Instead of heading south to shop and spending all that money on gas and food, check out one of the many local gift shops in White Rock and South Surrey. By shopping at these small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood. • Price check: There are some products available in the U.S. that are cheaper, but many others, such as electronics, for example, are basically the same price in the Lower Mainland as they are in, say Bellingham, especially once you figure in the exchange rate. Other issues to consider are the environmental benefits of driving less and keeping your carbon footprint small. Not only will you be putting your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community, you won’t have to sit in a border lineup. Now that sounds like a good deal.

As much as I am going to miss all of you, I am excited to start a new chapter in my life. In January, I will be flying to Mexico with my husband, Bob, for a few months on the beach and on the golf course. When we return, we will be moving into our summer home in Harrison Hot Springs, but I will be back for lots of visits, and will continue to look forward to the next edition of the newspaper. Please take good care, Rita Rita Walters is publisher of the Peace Arch News.

Respect our tree bylaws Editor: We are very fortunate to live in a beautiful neighbourhood in Surrey. Some homes are 30 years old. Wellestablished gardens are enjoyed by almost everyone. People jog, walk their dogs, take their children to the playground or walk in the forest. For the last five years, a ‘negative energy’ has been hovering over our neighbourhood. Many homes have been sold overnight to offshore buyers. With some of the new owners comes problems. Beautiful green yards are demolished, leaving sticks where flowers, bushes and trees flourished the day before. We hear a chainsaw, and everyone knows another tree is coming down, topped or excessively pruned. We have excellent tree bylaws. They have to be respected by everyone. Many in the neighbourhood who have trees that need attention have done the right thing – they call an arborist and apply for a permit. An old-growth cluster of trees in front of the home of a new owner was almost lost to the chainsaw, if not interrupted by a neighbour who quickly called the bylaws department. The result – one big tree stump, a sad reminder of what might happen if the home is sold again. We are trying to save our neighbourhood trees. They are our lungs, habitat for many creatures, and they give us so much beauty. It is hard to feel welcoming towards your new neighbours when they do not seem to respect the environment around them or the bylaws. Enough is enough. There has to be a solution. We do not want to be angry. Fines do not work. The beautiful trees are destroyed. Why does the real estate agent not point out to the buyers that the tree bylaws in Surrey have to be taken seriously by everyone? We have already lost thousands of trees to new development. Heidi Bumann, Surrey
City takes a back seat Editor: Re: Seaside city’s odds of success deemed unlikely, Nov. 11. It is both unfortunate and inaccurate for the City of White Rock to decline to join Surrey and New Westminster as interveners in the Ecojustice Canada Society suit, representing Communities and Coal and Voters Taking Action on Climate Change. Unfortunate because, this was an opportunity for White Rock to stand up for its residents, the beach and the whole U.S.-Fraser Surrey Docks corridor, in concern for the decision by Port Metro Vancouver to approve the Fraser Surrey Docks coal-handling application. Inaccurate because, far from this issue being about location of the Fraser Surrey Docks, the main issues the suit is based upon – bias inherent in Port Metro Van’s
decision and failure to adhere to an assessment that took into account climate change – are both issues fundamental to not only Surrey and New West, but White Rock, as the first ‘line of defence’ against the onslaught of coal dust, diesel
particulates and such ancillary issues as emergency access to homes in Crescent Beach. White Rock’s decision makes it easier for the pro-coal advocates to claim this has been a NIMBY issue for White Rock all along.
Nothing could be further from the truth, as the issues in the suit, issues fundamental to approximately seven communities adjacent to the U.S. border to Fraser Surrey Docks rail-water corridor, clearly delineate. Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey

Moderator Scott Kristjanson introduces candidates at the second of two debates before White Rock’s Nov. 15 vote.
Post-vote critique doesn’t add up Editor: Re: Elections aftermath, Nov. 20 letters. As much as I admire Dennis Lypka’s run for White Rock council, I feel obliged to point out the apparently genuine but really illogical argument he laid out in his letter to the editor. He correctly states that “the total number of votes given to Mayor Wayne Baldwin and the six coalition candidates were less than the total number given to the 12 independent candidates.” For the record, Baldwin and the White Rock Coalition received 15,459 votes. The ‘independent’ candidates received 15,547 votes. Hence, his assertion is correct by a mere 88 votes. However, this numerical fact is completely irrelevant and has no intrinsic value. He used a false premise to draw the conclusion that the majority voted for candidates other than Baldwin and the White Rock Coalition. This is impossible to determine. His contention would only be true if voters were allowed to choose just one candidate – like in a federal or provincial election – but, in fact, voters were allowed to choose up to six candidates. Lypka’s logic also assumes that voters chose candidates exclusively from either the coalition group or from the independents. He cannot know this either, unless he was able to scrutinize the ballots themselves. Perhaps there were many voters, like me, who chose candidates from both the coalition group and the independents. Lypka then states, based on his false premise, that Baldwin and the four coalition councillors-elect should “duly consider the interest of the majority.” One would be absolutely right in saying that the majority of voters did clearly choose Baldwin, since there were only two candidates in the race for mayor – by a ratio of nearly 2:1. As for the newly elected council members, the only valid conclusion one can draw from the vote count is that the first six ‘past the post’ candidates won and, therefore, will become White Rock councillors on Dec. 1.

Educational commentary Editor: Re: What to do with school boards?, Nov. 18 column; Little to distinguish candidates, Nov. 18 letters. Well done, columnist Tom Fletcher, for calling attention to, if not actually belling, this perfidious cat. And kudos also to letter-writer Diane Salter for pointing out the lack of availability of any meaningful personal information on candidates in the recent election. Yes, by all means let’s get rid of school boards altogether. Was there even one Surrey school board candidate who was not a teacher, retired teacher or a CUPE
representative? One winning candidate even identified his occupation – in the pre-election questionnaires published in PAN (Nov. 11) – as a trustee, whereas his real job, according to his own website, is president of local CUPE 379, which represents school support staff. Electing foxes to guard the chicken coop does not seem very wise! Virtually all candidates professed to love kids and demanded more funds from the province – that is, from the pockets of the same voters they were wooing– to reduce class size, etc. Not one recommended squeezing more out of current resources or improving accountability and performance on the part of teachers. And remind me again, what exactly does a school trustee do to earn his/her $30,000-plus annual stipend? Are they empowered to do anything remotely useful? Please, Premier Christy Clark, let’s put an end to this wasteful charade. Chris Hodgson, Surrey
‘Sky is falling’ rhetoric failed Editor: Re: Baldwin voted back in, Nov. 18. It should be a big relief to most White Rock citizens that the ‘slash-and-burn’ group of election candidates did not succeed in the recent White Rock election. For another four years, at least, we will continue to receive first-class service from both the White Rock Fire Department and the RCMP detachment, as well as from the city itself. Where else does the fire department arrive anywhere in the city within a few minutes of being called? I know many White Rock citizens who have benefited from their rapid responses. The same applies to the “no-calltoo-small” approach to policing, which is a great benefit in an city with a relatively vulnerable population. After a nearby break-in, the RCMP came to our house to warn, reassure, and to advise us, indicating they patrol areas of White Rock on a routine basis. This would not happen in Surrey where, according to recent reports and complaints, the level of policing is not adequate. Pay low taxes, get low service. Simple as that. I, for one, am glad to pay my taxes to ensure that such services continue. Similarly, for the upkeep of the city to keep it looking attractive, and a place where people will want to live and visit. Consequently, expenditures for such services do constitute reckless overspending as was being claimed by many of the election candidates. I shudder to think what mess the slashing of taxes would have created. Fortunately, thoughtful and responsible citizen-based democracy prevailed, and the ‘sky is falling’ rhetoric failed.

Residential unit to be developed above White Rock studio
Pad approved for Blue Frog Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Owners of White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios will soon be living atop of their Johnston Road business. Council last month gave unanimous support to a development permit that clears the way for the residential unit at 1328 Johnston Rd. The permit addresses the form and character of the building, along with a variance reducing the number of required parking spaces. The Oct. 20 vote followed a short public meeting earlier in the evening, during which all who spoke to the issue expressed support. Owner Kelly Breaks told council that being able to live onsite is important to the studio’s future. “Blue Frog Studios is growing. In order to continue to be a viable operation, it makes sense to

White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios. build a living unit,� Breaks said. He cited the added ability he and his partner will have to keep an eye on the business, which has been the target of break-ins in recent months. While council did not discuss the permit prior to voting Monday, it received positive reviews during the Oct. 6 land-use and planning meeting. At that time, Coun. Louise Hutchinson said she was “thrilled� with the idea of having something new built in the
Lower Town Centre. It’s much-needed action that hasn’t been seen in that neighbourhood for about 20 years, and could be the beginning of the area’s rejuvenation, she said. “Hopefully, this will kick-start development on lower Johnston,� Hutchinson said. The city’s director of planning and development services explained to the committee that the one-level addition meets all of the zoning requirements except in regards to parking. While the CR-2 zoning requires two additional spaces for the residential unit, Karen Cooper said there is “no capacity� for them on the existing site, which already has eight spots. Noting that studio events that tend to create a need for parking are typically held at night, Cooper said it is unlikely a variance would significantly impact the availability of parking in the area.

Open house to address parking plans An open house regarding plans to reconfigure parking and internal roads around the South Surrey waterpark is set for tonight (Thursday) at the Rotary Field House. The work is being planned in preparation for replacing the waterpark, however, discussion specific to the waterpark will not be part of the program. That
consultation will take place next year. Organizers say goals of the changes that are being presented this week are to improve safety, provide better pedestrian and cycling corridors and create a consolidated area of parkland around the existing playground to enable its expansion and make room for the new waterpark.

Surrey man with autism overcomes obstacles
Given the chance Boaz Joseph Black Press
In July 2010, Linda Rill got a call from her son, Shawn, who was in Richmond on the day of his driver’s test. Shawn, then 21, had been frustrated for some time that his younger brother, Tyler, already had his driver’s licence. Linda had also been warned by others outside the family not to get her hopes up. On the phone, Shawn’s words made her heart sink: “I hit someone.” Shawn hung up, and for the next few hours, his parents paced nervously at home before he showed up at the doorstep, his head down. Mournfully, he raised his eyes, looked up at his parents, held up a piece of paper and grinned broadly. “I passed!” It was a rare outward expression
of elation, and just as importantly, a sense of humour (albeit a black one). Shawn has had autism since he was a small child, where at 2½ years old, he suddenly stopped being “normal” and became withdrawn and unable to socialize. Sitting on the Surrey family’s couch with his parents Linda and Stephan, it’s apparent that Shawn, 26, will talk the least, unless prodded for a response to a question. “As you can see, Shawn’s very quiet,” says his father. “It’s part of his autistic makeup.” On the wide spectrum of autism, Shawn sits somewhere in the middle, between those who are uncontrollably hyper and those who are completely withdrawn. On occasion, Shawn may jumble a sentence, part of a minor speech impediment, and it will take longer i see page 14

Finding independence with work i from page 13 for him to perform certain physical tasks. Over the years, the Rill family has seen its challenges and triumphs with Shawn. After he was diagnosed, he benefitted from pre-school provided by the Surrey Association for Early Childhood Education. His parents say that experience helped his early socialization. Years later, Shawn would be an honour student at Princess Margaret Secondary. He was still extraordinarily quiet, but by chance, found a social catalyst in scripts, and took on chatty and even singing roles in three school plays, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, A Christmas Carol, and Dracula Baby. Some teachers told Shawn’s parents that they didn’t even know he could talk before they saw him let loose on stage. When there were no scripts to guide his social interaction, he would revert back to himself. In sports, he was also solitary, preferring self-challenging pursuit, such as taekwondo, which he practises in a studio with his brother. Once he graduated from high school, however, the desire for college and a job slammed into a reality that was more difficult than a high school drama class. His father says potential employers didn’t give him a chance. “A lot of times when you have to go to apply for a job, you have to be assertive – sure of yourself – and Shawn, because he’s shy and quiet, because of his autism, employers felt that he didn’t really want the job.” Shawn was interested, he just didn’t appear to

be. Reassessed for autism for the first time after graduating, he applied to Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KYU) Access Program for People with Disabilities. The two-year program helped him with its two academic spheres, work exploration and job preparation, and provided him with experience in the field. Although it turned out that kitchen prep at places such as Tim Hortons and IHOP were not for him (he was reliable, but too slow in production), Shawn found work at a recycling business. For the last five years, Shawn has been employed at Cycle Wipers in Bridgeview, turning discarded clothing into industrial rags. He drives there from Newton five days a week. “With Shawn going through the Kwantlen program and having the opportunity to be offered a full-time job as a result of the skills he had learned, the end result has shown him how to be a responsible young man,” says his mother. “With this job he is able to pay for his car insurance, make car payments, pay us token monthly rent, invest in RRSPs, establish good credit, learn how to save from his earnings, as well as buy something that he wants for
entertainment purposes. “Certainly having a job makes him feel he is contributing to society but also gives him a sense of self-worth.” At home, he’s earned his parents’ blessing to be alone if they’re away. Shawn also has a few passions: Popular culture, collectibles (his father, too), video games and anything Japan. The obsession with Japan started with a school project on the country in Grade 6, and culminated in a father-and-son trip in 2012, where Shawn had a smile on his face for 16 days. “I have never seen him that happy,” says Stephan, who adds that Shawn donated a few thousand dollars of his own money for the trip. Shawn’s favourite spot was Akihabara, a district in Tokyo full of manga, video games, anime, electronics and computers. In Shawn’s words: “Holy ground for Japanese nerds.” Back at home, Shawn’s cat, a seven-year-old rescue, is named Keiko – “The Adored One” in Japanese.

The days may be getting shorter and shorter as winter approaches, but, for one night at least, Semiahmoo Bay will be brighter than usual, with the return of the popular Christmas Boat Light Parade. The annual event, organized by the International Yacht Club of B.C., is set for Saturday, Dec. 6 at 5 p.m. “It’s a tradition in our club, and I think a lot of our members take pride in getting their boats all dressed up for the holidays,” said IYCBC spokesperson Bob Bezubiak, a longtime member of the club. “It’s something that we, as a club, have done for probably 40 years, at least, but it’s still something that not everybody knows about.” Starting promptly at 5 p.m., the yachts – decked out in Christmas lights – will make two passes by the White Rock Pier, which, Bezubiak adds, is the best spot to catch a

glimpse of the half-hour event. Participation from sailors is usually weather-dependent, he said, adding that he expects “20 to 25” boats to take part. Bruce Blandy, port captain for the club, will be leading the parade – with Rudolph on the bow of his yacht. “I used to bundle up my kids and head over to the pier to watch the light parade. This event is a great way to get in the Christmas spirit and kick off the holiday season,” he said. Any boaters interested in taking part can email Blandy at bruceblandy@ gmail.com

The B.C. government has launched a website it says will help spread the benefits of liquefied natural gas development to businesses around the province. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond unveiled the website at www. LNGBuyBC.ca last week, with 300 B.C. businesses signed up with details of their goods and services. Representatives of two of those businesses visited the B.C. legislature to endorse the effort. Janice Shaben is a partner with her husband Gord in Terracebased Silvertip Promotions and Signs. She said LNG companies are already active in the northwest and her company has landed some business deals by direct meetings. She is also president of the Terrace Chamber of Commerce, with more than 300 member businesses. “I’m going to encourage all my businesses in town to make sure they get connected, because by registering your company on the website, it allows you to showcase what you’re capable of doing, what services you’re able to provide,” Shaben said.

Janice Shaben, president of the Terrace Chamber of Commerce. Box Structures, brought one of his company’s portable worker accommodation units with him. Converted from a steel shipping container, the unit contains two of what Siebenga termed “executive suites” with granite countertops and in-suite washrooms. “We’re setting out to change the way people look at workforce accommodations and modular structures,” Siebenga said. Bond said the liquefied natural gas industry could create 100,000 jobs in the province. Companies that register at the website enter details of their goods and services and the system matches them up with needs listed by energy and construction com-
panies. The government hired former NDP cabinet minister Gordon Wilson to tour the province promoting B.C. business participation in LNG projects. Wilson stressed that aboriginal communities and companies will be at the front of the line. “Companies when they come in ... will let you know First Nations business trumps all other because they want to make sure First Nations are properly engaged in this process,” Wilson told the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce Oct. 15. “I think that is only proper and correct.”

New regulations ‘level the playing field’
Liquor rules set to change Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. government liquor stores are losing their wholesale price advantage next spring, but will also have the option of opening Sundays and evenings with chilled offerings to help them compete with private stores. The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting private or government liquor sales in separate facilities inside grocery stores. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after private store operators complained that the existing system gave government stores an unfair price advantage. Currently, the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less and stores that sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount. A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion in revenues the province takes in annually from liquor

White Rock panto marks 60 years of family fun
A nod to tradition Alex Browne
L
Arts Reporter
isa Pavilionis, busy staging White Rock Players Club’s upcoming Christmas pantomime, Babes in the Wood, only has one potential complaint for co-producers Fred Partridge and Gordon Mantle – they didn’t think to provide a costume for the director. “It was so much fun when everyone was trying on the clothes – Pat McLean has done a wonderful job with wardrobe for this show – but I started thinking ‘aw – where’s my costume?’” she laughed. All kidding aside, she said, Partridge and Mantle (who doubles as stage manager) bring a wealth of experience as veteran Players Club members to the table, and they’ve also done their best to accommodate most of her requests as a first-time panto director. “You know how sometimes you have something in your head about a scene, and you ask ‘can that happen?’” she said. “They’ve been very kind and helpful – even moving part of the set back to give me more space for a number that was not working for me.” But Pavilionis admits she still has the same excitement at seeing a show come together that she felt as a beginner panto chorus member back when she was in Grade 7 – during the period when longtime president Scott Wheeler was both artistic director and suitably glitzy Dame for many of the holiday extravaganzas. “I caught the bug and kept coming back – the club became my second home,” Pavilionis said, adding she’s glad to be able to return one of her favourite Wheeler ‘borrows’ for the current show, the opening number A Pantomime Tonight (a rework of Sondheim’s A Comedy Tonight from A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum). While she has established strong credentials as a producer and director for the club in recent years – particularly helming a funny production of the hockey comedy The Good Game last year – this is the first time she’s been entrusted with the club’s hallmark Christmas product.

Hunter Golden as the Demon (foreground), brushes up on his villainy with Dame Mother Hubbard (Bryce Mills), player Madeline Durning and Fairy Twinkle (Kay Ariel Lozada) in Babes in the Wood, which runs Dec. 3-27 at the Coast Capital Playhouse. And she said she takes it as a huge honour to be given the responsibility in a year that marks not only the club’s 70th season but also the 60th anniversary of the panto tradition in White Rock. Babes In The Wood is definitely a nod to the tradition, mixing fairy tale with irreverent home-grown comedy and appropriated songs – and the perennial The Wonderful Year We Fell In Love, with up-to the-minute topical references by lyricist Tom Saunders – for a uniquely Players Club blend. The new show, written by the pseudonymous ‘Jack Horner,’ follows the misadventures of Pip (panto regular Lionel Rust) and Squeak (newcomer Emma Harvey) in Novelrock – a typically White Rock take on the Storybrooke of TV’s Once Upon A Time. There’s welcome familiarity, too, in other faces among the cast – including such strong players from last year’s Rumpelstiltskin as principal girl McKenzie Claus (teamed with another newcomer, YooRa Kang, as Jack and Jill), Hunter Golden (returning to Rumpelstiltskin-style villainy as the Demon) and Bryce Mills (as the Dame, Mother Hubbard). “Bryce is completely ‘The Dame’ – he’s

always open to suggestions on how to play it, but he has his own ideas, too,” Pavilionis said. “He knows it’s my first time directing a panto, and I’ve really appreciated his support.” She also welcomes the return of Golden and Claus, she said. “Hunter has a wonderful voice and a wonderful stage presence – I was very excited when he came out to audition,” Pavilionis said. “McKenzie’s fabulous – she’s so charismatic on stage, and I love how quick she is to help everyone, particularly the younger members of the cast.” And there are a lot of those this year, Pavilionis said – a tribute to a very strong network of parents, including vocal director Michelle Reid, who are highly involved backstage and even, in some cases on-stage, ensuring that the Players Club pantomime remains a positive experience for a new generation of players. “Even my cousin’s son, Keoni Rebeiro, is in it this year,” Pavilionis noted. Of course, Shenanigans – everyone’s favourite pantomime giraffe – will be back to amble across the stage, and Pavilionis said she’s also glad to have on hand such panto stalwarts and longtime friends as Scott
Townsend (Simple Simon) and Ryan Elliott (as appropriately dithery aristocrat Duke Don Darling). Kay Ariel Lozada plays Fairy Twinkle with a lot of “sass,” she added. “She has to, playing opposite the Demon – we wouldn’t want Hunter to walk all over her. It’s nice to see the dynamic between the two of them.” Sets by Andrea Olund – given extra character by a dynamite team of volunteer local painters including muralist Elizabeth Hollick – have fulfilled everything she envisioned, Pavilionis said, and musical direction by Shelley Eckstein ably supports a group of “very strong singers in the cast.” “It’s a pleasure to work with so many talented people – I feel very lucky,” Pavilionis said. Babes in the Wood runs Dec. 3-27., at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) Shows are at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday to Saturday, with 2:30 p.m. matinees Saturdays and Sundays and Boxing Day. Tickets are $20, $15 (children under 12), and $12 during previews Dec. 3 and 4, including taxes and fees, and are available from 604-536-7535 or online at www. whiterockplayers.ca

Surrey dance teacher to engage audience with play
Interactive show hits stage Boaz Joseph Black Press
Stephanie Henderson spent years as a single woman trying to navigate the dating scene. For the most part, traditional face-to-face interaction had already morphed into face-toscreen time. “I have Tinderswiped, I have blinddated, I have Events & Adventured and e-Harmonied,” says the Surrey dance teacher. “I mean, theoretically, a bigger pond equals more fish, right?” It certainly meant more texting, superficial online profiles, occasional profanity and the realization that the promised ease of connecting with people actually made it harder to do so properly. “(The screen) was putting more distance between me and the people I was looking to have a relationship with,” Henderson says. Pondering the experience, with its potential for missed connections and opportunities, Henderson took the idea and went speed dating with it – on stage. She created the ensemble play, Listen To Me, a presentation of Resounding Scream Theatre, which she co-founded with fellow SFU contemporary arts program grad Catherine Ballachey in 2008. Henderson describes Listen to Me, which runs the first week of December on Granville Island in Vancouver, as an opportunity to stop hiding behind the digital persona and allow for possibility. “I wanted to address how unnatural and inauthentic it is to build relationships in this way, and take us back to sharing air space instead of screen time.” In a unique theatrical step, she will take the audience (a maximum of 10 people per show) on an interactive, semiscripted speed-dating event called “A Social Network.” The actors and their characters will, within the short time allowed, reveal themselves, their desires and vulnerabilities, and will interact with audience members in as natural a way as possible. “Our goal as a company at Resounding Scream Theatre is to
Boaz Joseph photo
Stephanie Henderson explores dating in her show, Listen to Me, set to hit Agro Café Dec. 2-6. engage audiences and inspire conversations,” Henderson explains. That means challenging the audience to participate – to be involved as the “significant other” of the actor across from them. They’ll be invited to share private parts of
their own lives, but only once with each actor, since a bell will ring to send them to the next actor before long. Each actor will have 10 roles (or relationship “phases”) per night – making for different experiences for repeat audience members.
Eight women and three men were cast for Listen To Me. Ten are “date” actors and one will host the dating event within the play, which Henderson directs. There will be scripted words, structured improvisation and genuine moments throughout the show, Henderson promises. Visitors should also expect surprises and broken expectations. A conversation can begin with date-like small talk, but suddenly turn on its head, submersed in an existing relationship. How much an audience member divulges is up to them. Listen To Me runs Dec. 2-6 at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at Granville Island’s Agro Café, 1363 Railspur Alley. Tickets are $20 at listentome. brownpapertickets.com (recommended) or at the door.

o matter who wins Sunday’s Grey Cup game in Vancouver, history will be made at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. A pair of graduates from the Cloverdale school are playing in the Canadian Football League title game at BC Place, meaning either Adam Berger of the Calgary Stampeders or Kyle Miller of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will earn a Grey Cup ring, which would be a first for the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers football program. “You could see it coming, and
when it happened, I was pretty excited,” said Kurt Thornton, head coach of the Panthers since the program began roughly a decade ago. “Now it’s guaranteed. A Panther is going to have his name on the Grey Cup.” Berger and Miller were teammates with the Panthers, each playing their final season in the fall of 2007 when the team was ranked No. 1 in the province for much of the season before losing in the semifinals of playoffs. Along with Matt McGarva, currently with the BC Lions, the trio graduated in the spring of 2008 and eventually turned pro in the CFL.

Berger and Miller likely won’t face each other directly, as each is listed as a backup at the defensive back position. But they will be on opposite sides of the field, as opposed to sharing the same sideline as they have done at the community, high school and university levels. They played together for several seasons at Lord Tweedsmuir, as well as with Cloverdale Community Football. And they ended up under the same roof during high school and university. “Kyle’s parents moved when he was in Grade 11, so the Bergers took him in,” said Thornton. “He
and Adam are close, like brothers. They were roommates at SFU.” Berger was a quarterback with the Panthers, and Miller was his top receiver. But each went their separate ways after their Grade 12 season, with Berger joining the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Clan and Miller suiting up for Western Washington University Vikings in Bellingham. “I think Kyle was underrecruited, he should have been recruited better,” Thornton said. “Everyone wanted Adam, and SFU got him when they were still in the CIS. “But Kyle wanted the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic
Association), and he was a walk-on at Western Washington. But that program folded the year after he got there, so he went to SFU to join Adam.” Berger again had the easier route to the pros. He was selected by the Stampeders in the fourth round – 30th overall – of the 2012 CFL’s Canadian draft and was signed in January 2013. Berger had six solo tackles and nine special teams tackles, appearing in all 19 Stampeders games this season. His most productive game was a July 18 contest at home against the Tiger-Cats, when he was credited i see page 40

Figure skaters from across the province put on quite a show at last week’s Jingle Blades competition – with local competitors leading the way. The White RockSouth Surrey Skating Club – which hosted the 20th annual event at Centennial Arena – had eight skaters finish on the podium at the three-day competition, which wrapped up Sunday. Gold-medal winners included Samantha Ellis, in the junior silver ladies division; Hannah Phillips, who was first in the silver interpretative competition; Catherine Cox, in the Star 5 Girls 13-and-over group; and Laura Seyler, who won twice – in the introductory interpretative and Star 4 Girls 13-and-over divisions. Three skaters from the host club picked up silver medals, and no performance was more impressive than that of Annika Ferronato, who fought through an injury earlier in her program to capture a silver medal – despite having received five stitches in her chin. Other silver medallists from WRSSSC were Isabella Arney, in the Star 4 Girls 13-and-under Group 2; and Maria Maskall, in silver interpretive. Rounding out the medal haul was Sydney Ellis, who won a bronze medal in the senior bronze women’s competition. Nearly 500 skaters from 31 clubs took part in the event. For most members of the White RockSouth Surrey club, the next big meet on the competitive calendar is Feb. 5 at Sungod Arena in North Delta, where the skaters will attempt to accumulate points in the Pond to Podium Super Series rankings. Top skaters in the series qualify for the Super Series StarSkate which takes place in Kelowna on March 6. – Nick Greenizan

Loss follows shutout victory
Hawks split Rick Kupchuk Black Press
What could have been a very productive weekend on the road slipped away from the Valley West hawks in Victoria last weekend. The BC Hockey Major Midget League team blanked the South Island Royals 3-0 Saturday evening, but were handed a 4-1 defeat Sunday morning. The Hawks are 10-6-2 on the season, and in fourth place in the 11-team league. “We were pretty sluggish this weekend,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “I’m not sure if players are getting hit with a touch of the flu or if they were finding themselves dehydrated. But we didn’t have the jump in our strides that we normally do.” James Malm scored a pair of goals, with Ben Evanish of White Rock adding a single. Nick Talarico of Surrey had the shutout. “Saturday’s game was never in doubt,”
said Leung. “I felt we controlled the game from start to finish.” Trevor Ayre netted the only goal Sunday, tying the game 1-1 late in the second period. The Royals scored three times in the final frame for the win, getting the winning goal with 15 minutes to play and an insurance marker two minutes later. An empty net goal with three seconds left completed the scoring. “Sunday was a tough one. We never seemed to find our stride and were hammered by penalties,” Leung said. Penalties will also cost the Hawks the services of a pair of players. Justin De Vos of Surrey will sit both games next weekend after receiving a fighting major. Cole MacEwen was assessed a check-from-behind penalty in the last 10 minutes of play, earning a one-game suspension. The Hawks will close out the first half of the season with two games against the North Island Silvertips this weekend.

Coach proud of his players i from page 37 with three tackles. Miller was not drafted, but signed with the BC Lions in June 2013, then was released midseason. The Tiger-Cats signed him this past January, and he has dressed for all 18 regular season games, as well as the Eastern Final, a 40-24 victory over the Montreal Alouettes. “Kyle is very resourceful, he always finds a way to get to where he wants to be,” said Thornton. Neither Berger nor Miller could be reached for comment, but both players, along with McGarva – who is a current assistant coach at Tweedsmuir – keep in touch with their high school coach. Thornton follows their careers – and those of other former Panthers – very closely.
“Absolutely, I follow all the guys when they move on to college or university, he said. “I texted each of them (Berger and Miller) after their games last week, and they texted back pretty quickly. I think Kyle was still in the dressing room when he texted.” While Thornton is excited that Tweedsmuir is destined to have a former Panther’s name on the Grey Cup, he notes that there may be a past student somewhere out there who has played the title game. “There’s some alumni who have played community football and may have gone on to win the Grey Cup. This school has been around for a while,” said Thornton. “But the football program hasn’t. No one from Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers football has played in a Grey Cup.”

Black Label for those drivers with a taste for Lincoln
Not all the action took place on the floor of the Los Angeles auto show. At a mansion, high in the ritzy Hollywood Hills neighbourhood, Lincoln hosted a classy special event to launch its Black Label edition vehicles for the well-to-do. Black Label vehicles will come fitted with one of four designer-inspired interiors that will feature ultraposh Venetian leathers, Ziricote wood and Alcantara suede. Buyers also select from an exclusive array of exterior paints and custom colours and the vehicle will come with unique trim and lighting elements that will identify it as Black Label. “These are our busiest customers and we’ve got to deliver a very unique and personalized product that can reflect the innermost passions of our customers,” said Lee Jelenic, Lincoln marketing manager. “It has to go well beyond the product and provide membership privileges that fit where they are and around their time.” The top five per cent of existing Lincoln customers are expected to move up to Black Label, according to Jelenic. And he expects about two-thirds of Black Label customers will be conquests from other luxury brands. “It’s not exclusive to our most expensive products” he added “and will be offered on the entire product line and through selected dealers in major metropolitan areas, who meet internally set criteria.” A separate Black Label salon will be added to the selected Lincoln dealers in the program, but a buyer may never actually need to go to a dealership. A Black Label liaison representative, from the dealer, will go to the customer, at their office, home, to show them the materials, themes in the package and arrange a test drive. If legal to do so in a particular jurisdiction, even the sale contract can also be finalized, without going into the dealership. In addition to the unique buying experience, an owner also receives a number of perks, such as a better warranty that includes wearable part replacement.

Porsche Cayenne goes back to future for 2015 model
Looks When the second generation Cayenne came out in 2011 it was a departure from the previous model. As head of design for the current Cayenne, Ingo Scheinhuette, told me: “Even though the new model was larger than the original, many people thought it looked smaller.” In an effort to make the new 2015 facelift look more masculine, the goal was to make the Cayenne look more planted and wider. To do this, the entire front end, including the front bumper, grille, headlights, and front fenders have a more polished look. The daytime running lights have four LED marker lights that are also mimicked in the tail lamps, plus bi-xenon lamps are now standard. The front air intakes are wider and the hood looks more integrated into the design. Around the back, the rear window spoiler, hatch, bumper and exhaust tips are all new. The lights are more sculpted, the bumper has been raised and widened and the exhaust tips now pop through the lower valance. If the goal was to make the Cayenne more masculine, mission accomplished. Inside What hasn’t changed, thankfully, is the interior. Three minor changes include
by Zack Spencer
a three-point sports steering wheel as standard equipment across the entire Cayenne line that includes paddle shifters and heat. The other changes include standard navigation and a slightly more sculpted rear seat. The rest of the interior is pure automotive perfection. The level of fit and finish has yet to be surpassed in this class and the logical multi-button layout looks intimidating at first but is easy to master after a few days. What Porsche has done in the industry is move the needle on what is expected in premium products. In many ways, the competition looks frumpy and rather dated, even after four years on the market, the Cayenne is still fresh. Drive With pressure on automakers to improve fuel economy and lower their carbon footprint, this latest 2015 Cayenne receives two new S models. The base S used to be fitted with a V8 engine, now a smaller 3.6L V6 with two turbocharges helps to produce an extra 20hp but saves fuel. This is the same engine that is used in the smaller Porsche Macan Turbo. Accelerating up through the mountains was a snap but the sound from the engine and interior vibration isn’t as smooth as the old V8. The second new drive system is the plug-in SE-Hybrid that can run on pure electric power up to 30kms before the supercharged Audiderived 3.0L gasoline V6 kicks in. This model can run on the 95hp electric motor alone, for greatest efficiency, or the electric motor can be used for additional punch for spirited moves. The combined output is 416hp and 435 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the very first plug-in

Last year the Porsche Panamera sedan came equipped with this system and accounted for roughly 11 percent of overall sales but that was a rear wheel drive only car, this Cayenne is all wheel drive, which should appeal to more buyers.

In 2003, Porsche Cars North America shipped a number of its shiny, new, Porsche Cayenne SUVs from head office in Atlanta to drive the Sea to Sky highway here in B.C. The day started with a long explanation as to why the famed sports car maker was getting into the SUV game. History often repeats and here again in 2014, Porsche shipped roughly 50yep, new Cayenne S and SE Hybrids to the same scenic highway. This time around there was no explanation as to why this second-generation model exists: the Cayenne currently accounts for roughly fifty present of all Porsche sales.
2015 Porsche Cayenne SE-Hybrid driving for carbon reduction but it comes at a cost. The SE-Hybrid starts at $86,800 and the Diesel starts at $71,330, which leaves a ton
of extra cash left over for those costly Porsche options. The new turbo V6 equipped Cayenne S now starts at $83,700, which poses a
problem for buyers of the $82,200 Macan Turbo. Both start at roughly the same price but the Cayenne comes with boatloads more
interior space, 20 more horsepower and the same Porsche crest on the hood. The smart money is on the Cayenne over the rather cramped Macan, there is actually room for the family dog in the back. More than 10 years have passed since the first Sea to Sky highway Cayenne introduction and it is still the handling and performance mid-size champ. Now with more features, a sumptuous cabin and efficient power to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Ledingham McAllister gives the gift of saving this season eason n Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that can’t fit under the tree. From now until December 18, buyers are able to save up to $10,000 off their new home purchase at any one of the Ledingham McAllister communities. There will be a box available to draw from containing “Christmas Crackers,” that enclose a voucher revealing the
savings. When a new home purchase is finalized, the savings will be applied against the balance owing for the home’s purchasers. Senior Vice President, Marketing and Design of Ledingham McAllister, Manuela Mirecki, says that this is a new promotion in reaction to the fact that in the last couple of years they experi-
enced a surprising number of people purchasing homes in the days leading up to the holidays. “Most communities for sale wind down their sales program at this time of year, so we thought it would be a fantastic opportunity for our future home owners.” There are seven beautiful and diverse developments with the perfect
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
price-point to suit any lifestyle: Aviara, Dominion,, Charland, Radius, Rad dius, Storybook, Saltaire, e, and Waterscapes. Waterscaapes. The developments’ s’ locations span n from Burnaby, New w Westminster,, Coquitlam, Whiterock, rock, Vancouver Vancouveer and Kelowna. “This is the timee of year that pe people eople are often placing their heir focus on friends, family and d loved ones in the comfort of their own Hofor th lida e homes; often people ple are wantys! ing to nest, to settlee in to the coziness and security rity of their own n For a full list of housing home,” says Mirecki. ki. “Given that LedL details, an overview of all the Mac has a numberr of move-in rea ready ady new home communities and the localoca communities, we wanted to make it easier for people too make their decision tions of their sales centres and display suites (open daily except Fridays from to purchaser sooner than later so that noon to 5 p.m.) visit their website: they can celebrate the Holidays in their www.ledmac.com brand new home.”
Ho me
GVHBA - keeping families warm this winter… That time of year is upon us; when temperatures drop, the snow falls and presents are bought to put beneath the Christmas tree. For many however, now begins the time of worry – how will I keep my family warm this winter? Or, how I can I make the holidays special for my children? For 19 years, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau has been helping families in need answer those questions and feel the warmth of not only a coat, but the love of the community. The Coats for Kids campaign allows GVHBA members to volunteer the use of their store front locations so that their employees and the public can donate gently used winter coats and mittens for kids and teenagers. 45 member companies at 61 locations in 13 municipalities will serve as coat drop-off sites from November 24 to December 4. CEO with GVHBA, Bob de Wit says that the number of donations has soared off the charts from several dozen in the early years to
several thousand last year. “It’s amazing to see the impact - families literally are transformed, not just by the warm apparel but by the spirit of giving that these donations embody,” he says. “The first time I visited the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau’s warehouse, I thought I had stumbled into Santa’s workshop! The scale of the effort and the buzz of energy there really hit it home for me about the deep need we’re filling in the Metro Vancouver region.” He recalls a year when a young family had just moved to Canada from a tropical ical country. They were severely unprepared for their first Canadian winter, armed with only light jackets for the plummeting temperatures. GVHBA asked if TQ Construction could somehow assist this family, to which TQ’s president and owner, Helene Belisle, immediately accepted. Warm
winter jackets were quickly supplied for the whole family, and TQ’s Office Manager, Kim Boer, even added a scarf and gloves set for the mother – a little extra gift from one mother to another. “By the end of the day, the young family was bundled up in their new jackets,” says de Wit. “They were able to feel the generosity from their community and ready for their first winter in their new home country.” Parents are often looking after their children to make sure they properly dressed for the cold, but when it comes to teens, they are frequently more difficult to clothe. This year’s theme is “Zippers Zipping Buttons Buttoning and Hoodies for Teens,” and focuses on a demographic who are just as
interested in how they look as how warm they feel. The solution? Donate an item that is perfectly comfortable without compromising style – the almighty “Hoodie.” “And buttons buttoning and zippers zipping, that is just our way to make sure what is passed on is gently used,” says de Wit, “because no one wants get a great coat that doesn’t zip up.” This year the GVHBA isn’t just collecting coats; they are also looking for other quality clothing, blankets, mittens, hats and new toys. With Christmas right around the corner, de Wit says that new toys are especially welcome. “This winter season, take the opportunity to pass along those coats your kids have outgrown,” he says. “It is a simple way to warm one’s heart, and with all the GVHBA member drop-off locations, giving is effortless.” For a full list of participating GVHBA locations and times visit: www.gvhba.org

VAN LEEUWEN We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Johanna (Jenny) Van Leeuwen our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many. She passed away peacefully in her 97th year, after a brief illness. She is predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Jake, and by her sons, Jack, Co, Pat and her daughter Atie Vanderwerf. She is survived by her children Mia Gordon (Gerry), Elli Paziuk (Gene), Gerry Van Leeuwen (Gail), Nick Van Leeuwen (Lynn), Jenny Popma (Eric) and by daughters-in-law, Linda Van Leeuwen, Joanne Van Leeuwen and Linda Greentree. She will be fondly remembered by her 25 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. She was a courageous and positive woman who faced and conquered many challenges in her life. She was born in Hazerswoude, the Netherlands and immigrated, to Canada in 1951 with her husband and six young children, in order to build a better future for the growing family. She always focused on the positives in life, was strengthened by her strong faith in God and lived her life fully - enjoying music, dancing, exercising, travel and especially social time with friends and family. Her enormous personality and friendly smile will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Her funeral mass will be held at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church @ 2250 150th St in South Surrey, on Tuesday Dec. 2nd at 11:00. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society.
