Question period ends in White Rock Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Question period is gone, not with a whimper, but with a bang – and a few choice words for elected officials. White Rock council voted this week to remove the 15-minute question period from their biweekly meeting, with Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney opposed. As the motion was passed, residents in

the gallery began to walk out, complaining about the decision, with former councillor Margaret Woods calling the mayor and council “cowards.” The question period allowed residents to ask mayor and councillors questions; in January 2013, it was moved to the end of the meeting – once Shaw Cable stopped recording it for TV broadcast – and was limited to matters from the evening’s agenda.

The bylaw amendment to remove question period has been on the table since Jan. 26. When introducing Monday’s final vote, Mayor Wayne Baldwin told council there are “ample opportunities for people to question council” and suggested a regular forum be scheduled to allow residents to connect oneon-one with elected officials. “Not everybody is real happy about walking up to the mic and speaking into the

mic in front of a bunch of people. But most people are pretty happy when they are able to talk one-on-one with councillors or with a group of councillors,” the mayor said. “So that, to me, is a great solution (rather) than having a question period at the end of the meeting.” Fathers – who was on holiday when council unanimously gave the amendment first, i see page 5

Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) CEO Anita Huberman said she didn’t see much for her city in the provincial budget that was tabled this week. “I don’t see a lot for Surrey,” Huberman told Black Press Tuesday. “We have seen some investments around education, North Clayton Secondary School for example.” Premier Christy Clark was expected to address the SBOT on Wednesday – just after noon at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel, after Peace Arch News press time – highlighting the budget. Huberman said prior to Clark’s appearance that more clarification is needed for investment in areas of heath care, post-secondary education, skill and trades training. “A third of our population is under the age of 19, we’re the fastest growing city in our province, and the investments around education that we need, we’re still playing catch-up.” Additional funding is also required in health care and crime reduction, she said. “There was a blue-ribbon panel crime report that was released in December, and there’s no mention of any of that,” Huberman said. i see page 4

White Rock mayor urges ‘yes’ vote on upcoming transit plebescite

We’ll pay more for less service: Baldwin Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

If the upcoming transit plebiscite fails, White Rock residents will pay more for limited services, the city’s mayor told council Monday. The question to be posed to Metro Vancouver residents this spring asks if they will support a new 0.5-per-cent Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax to be dedicated to the Mayors’ Transportation and Transit plan. If the answer is ‘no’, the next source of funding that will be looked at will be property taxes, Baldwin said, which would be a big hit for the city’s taxpayers. “In an area like White Rock, where there is a very high assessment, we’re going to find

that we pay the lion’s share of this based on (property) assessments,” he said. “We’ll pay more, and we’ll get less service for it.” Baldwin said that mayors had looked at other revenue sources – including a carbon tax, vehicle levy and mobility pricing. “But what you can use, the province said, is property tax,” Baldwin said. “Property tax is Plan B, so if this fails, everything falls on the property tax.” The discussion on the plebiscite – which other cities, including Surrey and Vancouver are urging a ‘yes’ vote for – came up after the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations presented council with a corporate report.

Greg St. Louis noted there would be two specific benefits to White Rock if TransLink begins building more South of the Fraser – Surrey’s Light Rail Transit on King George Boulevard, which would help residents get to the SkyTrain faster, and the extension of the 96 B-line to White Rock. However, Coun. David Chesney pointed out that none of the transit improvements directly benefit the Semiahmoo Peninsula. “Where, in your mind, (would) the boundary for South Surrey be?” he asked St. Louis. “Do you consider Newton as part of South Surrey?” St. Louis noted that as a transit user, he would find any improvement to getting to the SkyTrain quicker welcome.

“As a regular user of transit, too,” Chesney countered, “I much appreciate the ability to get up to SkyTrain quicker. In the present system, the 321 is a half-day journey, but I just don’t see anything – as much as I’d like to – specifically for South Surrey or White Rock.” While Baldwin acknowledged “we’re not well served South of the Fraser,” he noted that if the improvements to Langley and Surrey don’t occur, the congestion would only increase. “If you think it’s bad now, wait until there is another 600,000 (cars) on the road,” he said. “So it’s looking ahead, is what it is.” White Rock has taken no formal position on the plebiscite.

Fraser Health region home to one-third of B.C.’s ‘problem gamblers’

Quarter of residents gambled at casinos in 2014 Jeff Nagel Black Press

More than a third of B.C.’s problem gamblers live in the Fraser Health region, according to a new survey released by the provincial government. The Problem Gambling Prevalence Study by consulting firm Malatest and Associates estimates nearly 45,000 problem gamblers – about 35 per cent of the provincial total of 125,000 – live in the Fraser region, compared to 32,600 in the Vancouver Coastal area and nearly 20,000 on Vancouver Island. While Fraser’s share is roughly in line with its proportion of B.C.’s population, the 2014 survey also found nearly 26 per cent of Fraser residents gambled at casinos over the previous year – higher than all other regions, where the rate ran from 16 to 20 per cent. And the survey found 2.4 per cent of Fraser residents reported borrowing money or selling something in order to gamble in the

previous year – far higher than Vancouver Coastal residents at 0.4 per cent and Vancouver Island at 0.8 per cent. More Fraser residents than the provincial average also reported feeling guilty about gambling, betting more than they could afford to lose, or feeling stress or anxiety from gambling. The results point to a lower overall rate of problem gambling across B.C. – 3.3 per cent in 2014, down from 4.6 per cent or 159,000 gambling addicts in 2008. Problem gamblers are defined as those whose gambling creates a moderate to high risk of harm to themselves or others. Another 7.9 per cent of B.C. adults are counted as being at low risk, bringing the total considered at risk to 11.2 per cent. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled a series of new commitments this month to further reduce the province’s rate of problem gambling.

Part of the plan is for an increased focus on young people under 25, who are statistically less likely to gamble but at greater risk of becoming addicted if they do. The survey found 62 per cent of young adults gamble in some way – lower than other age groups – but nearly 26 per cent counted themselves either at risk or problem gamblers. A responsible-gambling component will be added to the physical and health and education curriculum in the school system. Aboriginals, South Asians and the poor were also identified as high-risk groups. At-risk or problem gamblers are also three times as likely to have had a mental-health problem, according to the findings. The province is pledging more research into online problem gambling to find ways to reduce the risks for users of playnow.com, the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s online gambling portal.

BCLC photo

Province pledges more research. Other changes planned include placing GameSense advisors, who now offer support to potential problem gamblers in casinos, in Community Gaming Centres as well. BCLC also plans to roll out new time and money budgeting tools to help casino patrons and playnow. com users control their gambling. About 1,600 problem gamblers, or about 1.3 per cent of B.C.’s estimated total, are getting treatment through a provincial government program, the study found. The province so far isn’t taking

any new steps to tighten liquor access at casinos. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall in 2013 recommended either reduced hours of alcohol service or higher drink prices to reduce risks for problem gamblers, as well as restricting ATM cash withdrawals. The government said it set minimum drink pricing in all liquor establishments and the BCLC will add mandatory staff training about the cognitive effects of drinking and the jump in impulse behaviour that can result. The provincial plan promises further study on whether slot machines can make less use of high-risk features that generate the most compulsive behaviour – another of Kendall’s concerns – although it dismisses his suggestion of posting risk ratings on each machine as ineffective. Commercial gaming brought the B.C. government nearly $1.2 billion in net revenue, after prize payouts and expenses, in 2013-14.

Future budget surpluses expected i from page 1 “And, as you know, crime (reduction) is very important to Surrey.” Huberman was hoping to hear some specifics in Clark’s speech. (See www.peacearchnews.com) “I would like her to highlight the investments that are taking place in Surrey,” Huberman said. “That’s what I hope she will speak to, instead of general provincial terms.” All of that said, Huberman notes the board is supportive of how the province is remaining fiscally responsible with the conservative budget. In unveiling the budget Tuesday, Finance Minister Mike de Jong indicated surpluses are expected for the next three years. The B.C. government is ending the deduction of spousal child support from social assistance payments and providing modest benefits for other low-income earners. A target of single parents and poverty advocacy organizations in recent years, the “clawback” of child support payments ends Sept. 1. That is expected to leave about $32 million more over the next three years in the pockets of the parents who receive child support along with income assistance and disability payments, a benefit to 3,200 families and 5,400 children. Community Living B.C., responsible for developmentally disabled adults, gets an additional $106 million over three years, and $20 million is added to the general budget for income assistance. Caseloads for both are expected to increase and individual payment rates stay the same. This is also the budget that ends a two-year increase of 2.1 per cent in tax on income more than $150,000 a year. The provincial income tax rate for that

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says B.C. may be the only province in Canada to balance its budget for the year ahead. tax bracket returns to 14.7 per cent, which Finance Minister Mike de Jong said is part of the lowest personal income tax rates in the country. At the low end of the income scale, the exemption from paying any personal income tax goes to the first $19,000 earned, up from $18,000. An early childhood tax benefit begins April 1, with up to $660 a year for each child up to the age of six, designed to assist with child-care costs. This is also the year the province’s training and education savings grant begins to be paid out for children who reach six years old. It is a one-time payment of $1,200 per child born since Jan. 1, 2007, to be placed in a registered education savings plan. De Jong said the current fiscal year is expected to finish with a surplus of almost $900 million, due mainly to better-thanexpected personal and corporate income tax revenues, strong retail sales and a one-time adjustment of federal tax payments. After an additional $3 billion to the ever-growing health care budget and $576 million more for education over the next three years, the surplus for 2015-16 is projected to be $284 million.

NDP reacts Reducing income taxes for the top two per cent of wage earners cost the B.C. government $230 million that should have gone mainly to middle-income earners, NDP Leader John Horgan says. Horgan and NDP finance critic Carole James focused on the measure in Tuesday’s B.C. budget to end the tax increase on income over $150,000 a year. They acknowledged other measures to help low-income people but Horgan said “the middle class was left behind today.” De Jong brought in the 2.1 per cent increase on the top tax bracket in 2013, and also increased the corporate tax rate by one per cent in order to present a balanced budget for the 2013 election. De Jong said Tuesday his commitment was to remove the personal tax increase after two years and this week’s budget follows through on that pledge. James said middle-income families take the brunt of rate increases for car insurance, ferry fares and BC Hydro, and the services available to them are declining. “We’re seeing hallway medicine. We’re seeing overcrowded classrooms. We’re seeing less support for seniors,” she said.

Question period useless: Chesney

Wayne Baldwin

Helen Fathers

David Chesney

i from page 1 second and third readings – questioned the decision to take away the “forum for public discourse.” “It’s hard for me to support this. Question period has been the hot potato for the last six years, and it keeps getting passed around and moved around the agenda,” she told council. “It’s 15 minutes every two weeks, it’s really not that big of a deal.” Speaking to Baldwin, Fathers noted he had done a “good job of controlling the meeting” thus far. “People ask questions, and whether we like those questions or not is immaterial,” she said. “Municipalities should be embracing it… I don’t think we should be concerned or scared about that.” Chesney – who previously had voted in favour of the decision to remove question period – also announced he would vote against, noting his decision to change positions came “upon further reflection.” “I guess perhaps my initial knee-jerk reaction was to throw the baby out with the bath water,” he told council. Chesney told Peace Arch News Tuesday that when the amendment was first introduced, “there was an overpowering mood in the room.” “It was going down the drain,” he said. “And at that time, I thought, you know

what, I’m going to have other battles to fight.” However, after speaking to residents, Chesney said he realized his vote would be a matter of public record. “Years from now, people may look back and ask, who the hell thought it was a good idea to get rid of question period? I didn’t want to be on record for that,” he said. Chesney – who noted he had been at the question-period microphone prior to his election last November – said that while he voted against the decision on Monday, he agrees question period had become “useless.” “I’ve been there, and to be very honest, question period, at the best of times – and this isn’t a reason to get rid of it – but at the best of times, as someone that’s used it on various occasions, I felt like I may have just gone down and talked to the white rock,” he said. “You get up and ask a question, and they just stare at you and ask, ‘is that it?’ “They don’t talk to you, they don’t discuss it, no one gets back to you.” Chesney said residents will have an opportunity to ask questions of council members when he hosts monthly “community conversations” at White Rock Library – with the first slated for March 7 at 10 a.m.

editorial

Time for one last question? here is a price for democracy. It includes defending principles of inclusivity; the notion that, in our society, everyone’s voice deserves to be heard. The price of democracy even means being prepared to tolerate lengthy meetings of our legislators – and tolerating diatribes from those we might not necessarily agree with. If we are to respect the institution, we must, too, respect its forums. This is why White Rock council’s decision this week to suspend its regular post-meeting question period comes across so badly. Even if one finds a question foolish, fatuous, argumentative or wholly without foundation, one must still respect the right of the individual to voice it – albeit in a timely manner. Any politician ought to be scrupulous in defending this right. Indeed, the question period has often been a vehicle for familiar figures – among them former and aspiring politicians – to publicly agonize and gripe; for some to pose questions that are transparent ploys to shame or embarrass council or its bureaucrats; for others to make rhetorical statements that are not, strictly speaking, questions at all. But – if we still hold to our egalitarian ideals – so be it. What does sitting still for a few minutes once every two weeks cost our elected officials? A little discomfort? Perhaps. A little dignity? Maybe. Any meeting chair worth his or her salt should be able to reject time-wasting non-questions and move on to someone with a more valid issue. But this is not the first time White Rock council has acted to limit question period in both presence and principle. The thin end of the wedge was an earlier decision to not only push question period to the end of the meeting – after TV cameras are off – but to limit questions to items on that evening’s agenda. Why should the public questions be so restricted? Mayor Wayne Baldwin and others suggest voters have many ways in which to ask questions of their city representatives. Perhaps, but nowhere else so public, except, possibly, on the page opposite. (And our letters page, however well read, offers no guarantee the questionee has been heard). The opportunity to voice legitimate questions publicly – to exercise our democratic rights – must continue. After all, we don’t suspend elections merely because we think some voters will cast their ballots foolishly. Right?

between Langley and Delta, four will be tolled. There are no other toll bridges or roads in the province, although anyone who needs to use BC Ferries knows all about paying plenty for transportation. If the ‘no’ side loses momentum, it appears the tax plan will be approved by a majority in Vancouver, and probably on the North Shore and in Richmond. Burnaby may be a tougher sell – Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, the kingpin of Burnaby politics, is one of three mayors to oppose the plan and he has considerable sway. New Westminster and the Tri-Cities area will likely be evenly split at best. Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, which benefit little from the plan, will likely record strong ‘no’ votes. That leaves the South Fraser. At this point, it appears Surrey residents will vote ‘no’ in substantial numbers. Delta, White Rock and Langley likely will do the same. Of course, it comes down to who votes, as well. Young people traditionally do not participate in municipal campaigns very much, but likely will be more motivated in this referendum, given that many are regular transit users. The referendum could pass, despite the heavy sledding for the ‘yes’ campaign. However, if it is going to have a good chance, the pro-tax campaigners need to explain to South Fraser residents why this is such a good deal for them, and how they will benefit from paying more tax, as well as more tolls.

Opinions vary over market Editor: Re: Conflicts abound over concerns, Feb. 10 letters. I read with interest the recent letters on the White Rock Farmers’ Market from failed political candidate Dennis Lypka and his associate, Scott Kristjanson. Talk about a tempest in a teacup! Imagine the underwhelming hardship caused by requiring the market to commence setting up an hour later than in previous years, thereby allowing the residents of Miramar to sleep in for 21 Sundays a year until 8 am. Give your heads a shake! If, as intimated by the dynamic duo, that setting the later startup time is all part of a plot on the part of some members of council to cause discomfort to Coun. Helen Fathers – the market manager – it would seem like a strange way to do so. If that were the intent, would it not make more sense to cause the market to open earlier thereby depriving market Helen of an hour of sleep? Alternatively, would it not have made more sense to shorten the hours of operation, thereby possibly hitting market Helen where it hurts most – in the pocketbook? Rather, it does not take a lot of effort to appreciate that this change of time is an honest effort to allow the Miramar residents some precious rest on Sunday mornings without affecting the market operations. After all, how many of your readers would stand placidly by if they had the same thing occurring outside their homes? I should point out that, historically, it was never the city’s intent to create the public space at Miramar so it could be used for a continuous Sunday event that runs for 21 weeks in a row. The space was originally intended for occasional use at reasonable times that would provide for public events without unduly disturbing the residents. Frankly, in my opinion, the market should not be located where there are residents nearby – particularly when it involves repeated and annoying start times on a supposed day of rest. Kudos to council for taking a reasonable corrective measure to make things better for some of our taxpayers. Hardy Staub, White Rock Q As per the market president, Sandy VanDeKinder, the market has successfully run for many years with the 7 a.m. setup time, and no complaints have ever been received until now. The market is a huge success and the community loves it. The market supports our local economy, as people from all over support not only the market vendors, they also support local businesses. So unfortunate that it took only one letter and all heads – being the coalition council members – nodded in unison. These vendors sure do deserve better than that for their continued support. C. Fischer, White Rock

Keep schools clean, safe An open letter to the Surrey Board of Education. I would like to suggest a couple priorities for you to consider as you plan the budget: sanitation and safety. My little family moved to South Surrey from Vancouver two years ago. My daughter had difficulties adjusting to the school system here, not because the academics are difficult, but because the washrooms are so dirty. Uncleaned washrooms are a major health concern. The other problem that needs to be addressed immediately is the lack of fences between the playground and the street at Sunnyside Elementary. The school grounds are unfenced for over 50 per cent of the perimeter. The staff, teachers and principal at Sunnyside Elementary work hard to address the needs of the 400-plus students in their school. But without a janitor and without

adequate fencing, they cannot maintain basic levels of sanitation and safety in the school. My daughter used to come home with horrible stories of unflushed and overflowing toilets, until she got used to it. Is this something our children should get used to? Dirty washrooms are a major source of disease transmission. Refusing to use washrooms can cause urinary infections, interstitial cystitis and kidney stones. When a child vomits in the hallway, the principal is the one who comes to clean it up. Sometimes he is in an important meeting and can’t come immediately, so they cover it with cardboard until he is available. Uncleaned vomit can transmit norovirus quite effectively and should not be allowed. All public schools should have a full-time janitor. Public restrooms at restaurants or stores are cleaned regularly by janitorial staff; schools should have the same resources. Regarding safety, the land around Sunnyside is being converted from rural to urban. Right across from the playground are single-family

homes under construction, so there are many large trucks and construction workers. Someone could easily walk onto the school grounds and take a student away. A young child not aware of their surroundings would easily find themselves in the parking lot or even across the street in the construction zone, especially as there is insufficient supervision for children during recess. Fencing around the school would greatly simplify the task of the few supervisors allotted to the school. Sunnyside Elementary – and no doubt other public schools as well – needs basic amenities. Children need full-time janitors and fencing around the schools, so that parents and teachers can focus on educating their children instead of just keeping them alive and healthy. Please explain why these problems exist and what is being done to improve sanitation and safety for our children, especially at Sunnyside Elementary. If there is something I can do to help, please let me know. Alisa P. Ramakrishnan, Surrey

Letter-writer A.L. Hills seeks assurances that a new transit tax would come with a time limit and be used effectively.

Road to ‘yes’ comes with a rider Editor: I use public transit a lot and appreciate the quality and professionalism of the drivers who bus me around. Public transit has improved a bit since I moved to Surrey 15 years ago. It’s easy to get to Vancouver or the airport; even going to Royal Columbian in New Westminster is better by transit than by car. But the service for South Fraser has a long, long way to go before it comes to anything close to what Vancouver is used to. And it’s not just the south side of the Fraser that needs more public-transit solutions. So, Metro Vancouver has come up with a 10-year plan to provide much better public transit and address our rapidly growing population. The problem is, somebody has to pay for it and, no surprise, the people who spend the money decided the best people to pay are you and me. In fact, it seems everyone who is going to benefit from this new pot of money is behind the idea – 90 organizations at last count. But what about the people paying the bill? In addition to the 17 cents tax we pay for every litre of gasoline we buy, we are now being asked to add another 0.5 per cent on pretty much everything we buy. So, I understand money has to come from somewhere to fund these projects. And I understand every municipality has a project that is important to its community, so that means that everyone gets to have their pet project on the wish list. But here are a few things I don’t understand: • How does it get decided what gets done when – and how do I get convinced this is decided in a fair way?

• How can I believe the money I provide via this new tax will go only to the projects on the list and not end up in general revenue, or some slush fund? • How can I believe my money is being well-spent? • If you are going to tax all my purchases, is the tax I pay on fuel going to be removed? • After the projects are built, will this new tax end? We took the toll off the Coquihalla when it was paid for, surely the same holds for these transit projects? So here is what I need to vote ‘yes’ in the referendum: • An annual public report by the B.C. auditor general on how my money is being spent. • Legislation limiting what my money can be spent on. • A sunset clause in the legislation for this tax to disappear in 10 years at the end of the infrastructure plan. If you want money after that, you have to ask me again. Give me the above and I’ll vote ‘yes.’ Without these things, it’s hard to trust that my money will be fairly and carefully spent. Things like the billion-dollar white elephant of the Golden Ears Bridge, and the silence on the main reason for replacing the George Massey Tunnel with a toll bridge – to allow larger container ships up the river – or the airport user fee that now allows YVR to build shopping centres, means it’s hard for me to believe those doing the spending will be mindful the cash is coming out of my pocket. Until I get assurance that some controls have been put in place to answer my concerns, I’m afraid I’m reluctant to hand over any more cash, regardless of how worthy the projects – or intentions of the proponents – are. A.L. Hills, Surrey

South Surrey seniors get creative at learn-to-paint class

Brushing up on art Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

t’s been said the best way to learn something new is to jump right in. It’s been an effective tactic for a group of seniors who meet at least weekly to hone their skills at painting with acrylics. In a bright room of the Pacifica Retirement Residence in South Surrey, a rainbow of colours comes to life every Monday afternoon, each shade dabbed from makeshift palettes onto eight-by-10inch canvases. The effort – guided for the past five years by Peninsula artist Carla Maskall – transforms the bland, white surfaces into treasured keepsakes. “I’m just so proud of them,” Maskall said of the budding students, during a recent class where pieces in process included a still-life and a variety of landscapes. “They’ve gotten really good.” The seniors, surrounded by paint brushes and pictures to recreate, station themselves along either side of a line of collapsible tables. The 90 minutes pass quickly, with phases of quiet study broken by Maskall’s tips for achieving certain effects, and enthusiastic praise for each other’s work. Erna Darby said she discovered the “wonderful” opportunity to put brush to canvas about a year ago, and hasn’t looked back. While “nothing came” of art lessons she took about five years ago, the 96-yearold said under Maskall – who volunteers her time to teach the seniors – her skills have blossomed. In addition to creating artwork that family members have “stolen” to frame and display, Darby has found her new passion is also perfect for homemade greeting cards. The activity has been such a good fit that Darby continues to paint outside of class time. “When I’m in my room painting, it is so nice and calm,” she said. “Enjoyable – that’s the word.” Ethel McCann, at 91, has about three years of painting under her belt. A peaceful scene of the northern lights over Yellowknife hints at the senior’s love of the north. “I have a picture at home I’d like to paint,” she said. Betty McJannett said she also likes to work from photographs she has taken. Her latest

effort is to duplicate an image she created using a silver teapot she found at the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Thrift Store, polished to a shine, and positioned with a square, glass vase full of cherry tomatoes. “It doesn’t matter what is next to it, it just catches the reflections,” she said, admiring

the teapot. While McJannett, 89, acknowledged that recreating the silver shimmer of the pot and the subtle blue of the glass was proving a challenge, she said working with acrylics makes the goal much more achievable than other mediums. “Acrylics that Carla teaches is much easier (than watercolour), because you can cover up your mistakes and keep going,” she said. For Vivienne Hawksley, the motivation to paint is simple: “It’s fun. I’ll never be an artist, but I’m enjoying it,” she laughed.

It was Darby who encouraged Rauni Hilden to try painting. Admiring her first completed work – a landscape – Hilden said she’d never had the opportunity to put paint to canvas until a couple of months ago. “I was interested to do my own, but I never had a pencil and I never had a paint,” the 84-year-old said. Darby commended her friend on her progress. “Now, she’s beating me,” she laughed. “I’m very proud of you – you’ve done beautifully.”

Social Justice festival returns this month

Are You Living With...

Films will ‘challenge ideas’ Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The annual White Rock Social Justice Film Festival will return to First United Church this month with another batch of thoughtprovoking movies. The festival, slated for Feb. 27-28, will feature five documentaries revolving around subjects such as economic inequality, salmon farming and food waste. Now in its 11th year, the festival has attracted a wide demographic, which continues to grow, White Rock Social Justice Film Society director Eileen Spencer said. “We are getting more families and young people. We would like to attract more of these (groups) and are having some success by choosing topical films that appeal to them,” she said. “Although we have increased our audience since the beginning,

we have room for more.” The film that will kick off the festival will be Inequality For All on Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. The film deals with economic unfairness in society and is narrated by Robert Reich. The discussion leader after the film will be Peter Prontzos. On Feb. 28, at 10 a.m., Salmon Confidential will screen, which focuses on the controversy behind the salmon-farming industry. That film will be followed by an open discussion. The next two films focus on food, with Just Eat It and Forks and Knives screening at 1:30 and 5:15 p.m., respectively. Finally, the festival will wrap up with Peter, Paul and Mary – Carry It On, which celebrates the social-justice themes in the folk singers’ music. “You will be treated to a topical film that may challenge your ideas and then you should stay for the

vigorous discussion on the film that we hope you will contribute to,” Spencer said. And for those who are looking to expand their participation with the society beyond the film festival, Spencer noted that the group is always looking for more volunteers to help with coffee, the library, membership and more. “You can start as a volunteer and then become director, if you’re a good fit,” Spencer said, noting that members can borrow films for a month at no charge. The society is presenting the film festival for $15 for the whole festival, $10 for two films or $5 for one. However, Spencer noted, no one will be turned away if they are unable to pay.

The Tyler family poses with Amazing Race contestant Ryan Steele Feb. 9.

Ocean Park hosts Amazing Race

Family fun day Familiar faces emerged victorious at Ocean Park Village’s Amazing Race event on Feb. 9. For the second year in a row, the Tyler family took home first place at the Family Day challenge, while simultaneously announcing their retirement from the event. “In turn, (they) have offered to help plan the next race. What an amazing family, indeed,” Ocean Park Community Association’s Regula Appenzeller said in a news release. In second place, on the heels of the Tyler family, was the Tepper family, followed by the

Lake/Fowler family in third place. In attendance to MC the event, as well as congratulate the winning families, was Amazing Race Canada contestant Ryan Steele, who participated in the adventurous realitytelevision competition last season. The Ocean Park race featured challenge stations hosted by local business owners along the race route, including silly selfies, puzzles, riddles, balance and endurance tests and more. Following the race, contestants participated in a question-andanswer period with Steele. – Sarah Massah

Garden volunteers needed The governance committee of an Ocean Park community garden has been announced, but volunteers are still needed to help the project flourish. The newly-formed committee met for the first time last week, and will be in charge of the dayto-day oversight of the garden and activities once it is constructed in March. However, volunteers are still needed to help with the construction of the garden – located at the corner of 128 Street and 25 Avenue – and to provide support as a work-party volunteer on March 14 or 15, or as a donor or sponsor. The garden is slated to be ready for planting in early April, which is when the committee will work on a name for the green space, develop expectations and guidelines for gardeners and visitors and set fees and a budget, among other tasks. The lot is adjacent to Kiwanis Park Place and has been leased to Alexandra Neighbourhood House by Crescent Housing Society. There will be between 40 to

White Rock Muslim Association’s Asad Syed welcomes First United Church members at the event.

Relationship-building event hosted by WRMA

Foundation built on faith The White Rock Muslim Association welcomed First United Church members to their prayer centre Feb. 13, returning a bridgebuilding gesture that was offered by the church last month. It was “an exciting and monumental” evening, WRMA president Asad Syed said in a news release. The event featured discussion, relationship-building and dinner prepared by members of the Muslim community, as well as an introduction and welcome by Syed, an “enlightening and inspirational” talk about the important

role of women in Islam by Surrey physician Dr. Hala Ahmed, and an address by author and local Islamic teacher Shams Jilani, who described the five core pillars of the Islamic faith and answered questions about Islam. The WRMA was established in 2006. Its members – from White Rock, South Surrey and Surrey – host regular community events and Eid celebrations, as well as participate in volunteer activities. Last month, First United Church officials hosted ‘Meet Your Muslim Neighbours’, an evening aimed at dispelling fear and mis-

information regarding Muslims. It was proposed in the context of concerns last fall around the plight of Syrian refugees and the church’s quest to sponsor a Syrian family. According to Tuesday’s release, First United officials were enthusiastic in expressing their desire for future collaboration between the two groups. “This event truly served as a milestone in promoting unity and collaboration among various faith groups in the White Rock community,” Syed states. – Tracy Holmes

Recovering from identity theft The crimes of identity fraud, a situation in which someone's personal information is used to access money, and identity theft have grown increasingly common in recent years. The number of identity fraud victims jumped to 13.1 million in 2013, according to a report by Javelin Strategy & Research. Data breaches and hacker activity account for a growing number of identity theft cases. In addition, criminals have grown more adept at using information they obtain about others to take over consumers' Ànances. So how do those victimized by identity theft repair the damage and recover their good names? The process can be both timeconsuming and frustrating, but the following is a plan to help men and women recover from identity theft. • Do not panic if you learn of a data breach or even if your personal information has been compromised. In many instances, banks, retailers and other companies that store personal data have safeguards in effect to prevent widespread distribution or use of stolen information. A data breach may mean account numbers were stolen but not PIN codes. Get the facts Àrst and then you can go from there. • Canadians can log on to the Anti Fraud Centre (www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca) and download an Identity Theft Statement. • Contact one of the three major credit monitoring bureaus and ask to have a fraud alert placed on your credit report. After an alert is placed by one credit bureau, the others should follow suit. Give the police report number or any claim number to the credit bureau as well. Here are the numbers for the credit bureaus: • Equifax: 1-800-525-6285 • Experian: 1-888-397-3742 • TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289 • Contact your credit card companies promptly and inform them of the identity breach. They can put notes on your account to verify purchases and also to go over any purchases made recently that may be suspect. Just to be safe, ask each of your creditors to issue new cards with a different account number. • Speak with a banking representative if you are a frequent user of an ATM card or debit card. Review your latest banking statement to see if there are any suspect transactions on the account. Request a new debit card be issued. • In some instances, identity thieves change your address in order to facilitate additional crimes, such as the delivery of credit cards and fraudulently purchased merchandise. If you suspect that this has happened to you, notify your area's postal inspector. • If you suspect ofÀcial documents and identiÀcation numbers, such as passports or licenses, have been compromised, you must contact those agencies directly and follow their guidelines. Even after you go through the process of restoring your identity, you will need to remain diligent and frequently monitor credit reports and statements to ensure your information is no longer being used illegally.

Plenty to celebrate this week

Heritage includes nature H

eritage is usually interpreted as something very solid: the wood, stone and concrete of our towns and cities, or the iron and steel of bridges and railway lines. I like to broaden that viewpoint to include our natural heritage, the plants and animals that compose our local Anne Murray environment. So, in celebration of B.C. Heritage Week this week, I chose sphagnum moss, the fascinating plant that forms local bogs. Sphagnum clearly qualifies as heritage under the “ancient” category: the moss found in Fraser delta bogs began accumulating over three thousand years ago and is now many metres deep. In the wet heart of Burns Bog, the largest and most wellknown of our local bogs, layers of sphagnum, fed by rainwater,

by the bayy

David Blevins photo

Burns Bog in Richmond. have grown into a dome five metres above the surrounding delta. The spongy moss draws up groundwater and increases the water’s acidity. Other plants and animals find it difficult to survive in this acidic, nutrient-poor environment, unless they are specifically adapted. Even the bacteria that cause decay cannot operate well here, so the sphagnum and anything within it are slow to decompose. The resulting ecosystem is totally distinct from the surrounding landscape and has species of plants and insects that normally inhabit more northern latitudes. As well as Burns Bog, there are bogs in Richmond and along

the Fraser River. In Richmond’s Nature Park, you can walk on the quaking bog, where the ground wobbles and trembles due to the spongy sphagnum below. Sphagnum has no root system but just keeps elongating its spindly, thin stems which clump and tangle into cushiony structures. It is composed of two cell types, the larger, empty ones being highly water absorbent, and the smaller ones providing the chlorophyll that colours the plant. Burns Bog peat was systematically excavated from trenches during the Second World War and used as packing material for armaments. After the war ended, the peat was dug and sold for horticultural use. Around the world, peat bogs began to disappear as they were dug out. Today, people are beginning to better appreciate the beauty and fragility of bogs, a vital part of our natural heritage.

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues. consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed. Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new AudĂŠo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the AudĂŠo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autosense OSâ&#x20AC;? plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the AudĂŠo V by calling 888.408.7377

Scott Robb says. “Retail has become very challenging in the last couple of years, due to the ups and downs of the economy, but our selection and service is what really sets us apart.” While Elegante is knows for keeping an eye out for the latest styles, they have also built a strong reputation on timeless, high-quality footwear from brands like Stuart Weiztman, Ecco, Milano, Fit Flop, Sketchers, Portia, Gerry Weber, Josef Siebel and VanEli. “European products are our specialty, but most importantly, quality is our mantra,” Scott said. As signs of spring show up on the Peninsula, there are plenty of footwear trends to be excited about for the upcoming season, according to Scott. Expect colours to be more prominent this spring and summer than they have in past years – nothing super bright, but plenty of light pastels that will make a subtle yet sassy statement. And just because the sun will be coming out doesn’t mean it’s time to put away the boots – spring and summer boots – some with open-toes or small heels – are expected to be popular for the upcoming months. For a casual, yet elegant look, pyranees-influenced espadrilles just might be the look of the season – the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe to combine practicality and

New Beauty Institute Get your face and neck back!

With a team of dedicated staff, New Beauty Institute is committed to helping Peninsula residents look and feel their best with the latest in revolutionary beauty treatments. Located in the heart of White Rock, at 1121656 Martin Dr., the cutting-edge facility offers innovative anti-aging care, through researching the best tools, techniques and treatments in today’s beauty industry. Ultherapy is New Beauty’s most popular and effective age-defying treatment. The skintightening procedure is the most advanced nonsurgical option for clients who want to put some Caree Ludwar lift back into their skin and lose their ‘turkey neck,’ double chin or droopy upper eyelids without going under the knife. ‘Bat wings’ are another common trouble spot that can be targeted with this gravitydefying treatment. The Health Canada-approved procedure lifts and tones while stimulating the deep structural-support layers of the skin. Ultherapy targets the muscle first, then the dermis and then the epidermis – the same facial tissue typically focused on in a surgical facelift, and more – all without disturbing the surface of the skin. It requires no recovery time and in just one treatment, slows the aging process and regenerates collagen, resulting in the appearance of younger, more vibrant skin. New Beauty owner Caree Ludwar has been trained and certified in the United States, France and Canada – and Ultherapy is her signature treatment. Every client receives a free evaluation to determine the best treatment plan for their skin. CoolSculpting is another of New Beauty’s popular and effective treatments. The procedure, which is also non-surgical, precisely kills fat cell in stubborn areas, including love handles and back fat. “We also offer inner-thigh and saddlebag treatments,” says Caree, who knows firsthand how well CoolScupting works. “This is outstanding – I did my right leg first and had to do my left.” After four years of offering this revolutionary treatment, Caree says it is still their most sought-after body-contouring procedure. “The results have exceeded our expectations” she says.

Announcing

internationalgems.net

Whether creating brand new pieces of jewelery, or reworking sentimental heirlooms or old pieces to add new life and wearability, International Gems brings a reputation for custom design and excellence in craftsmanship to the table. With more than 40 years of experience in the diamond and fine jewellery industry, International Gems offers both the expertise and the dedication to ensure that clients are happy with the finished product. And there’s nothing better than knowing you fulfilled, or even exceeded your clients’ Lisa & Maureen expectations, sales associate Maureen Kiselbach said. “Our business is based on referrals and recommendations, that’s how we’ve thrived as a family business – it’s all about customers becoming long-term clients, and friends.” Kiselbach also said, she, designer Dana Davis (son of International Gems owner and founder Keith Davis), and Lisa Babbini, third member of the staff at the Windsor Square location, all have “a huge passion” for the work they do – just as Keith and Dana’s brother Brent do at the Kelowna store. “We’re a team here – we work together and everyone has a level of expertise to contribute,” she said. “We all enjoy creating something that a customer is going to walk away with excited to show to to everybody. We guarantee that they’re 100 per cent happy – and we follow up to make sure that they are.” In addition to custom design work, International Gems also carries other high-end brands as well as the finest GIA and AGS-certified cut diamonds, and deal in both Canadian diamonds and stones from around the world. “But custom design is what we’re best known for,” Kiselbach added, noting that the staff are happiest whenever they can participate in a consultative process to create jewellery that truly expresses their clients’ personalities and needs, whatever their age. “People may come in here with something they’ve been left, or that they’ve grown tired of, or they may want to start from scratch on something new, with perhaps just an idea about a colour of stone. “Everybody’s unique – and the people who come here want one-of-a-kind pieces. They don’t want something somebody else has. “Many of our long-time customers have confidence in what we do. They’ll say to Dana ‘you figure it out – just design it,’ because they know they’re going to love it,” she said. “We’re never embarrassed to hand them a piece. Once it’s completed we’re as excited as our client to see how it turned out.”

Relaxation, Meditation, thoughtfulness and stress reduction can have profound effects on our wellbeing – both inside and out. Join us on March 1st from 1pm -3pm for our Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Party to learn about and experience all of the benefits of this treatment. At Mountainview Wellness, our philosophy focuses on providing a total healthcare concept that includes the mind, body and spirit; facial rejuvenation can provide just that. This party is all about having fun, while relaxing and being pampered. Dr. Allison Patton Facial rejuvenation acupuncture helps decrease fine lines and wrinkles, tighten pores, increase collagen production, improve muscle tone, reduce stress and slow aging. Guests will receive a full facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatment, experience the Moor Spa facial care products and take home four Moor Spa facial-care products: Cleansing Milk, Hydrating Toner, Eye Zone Gel and Renewal Cream. Cleansing Milk is a blend of gentle, cleansing agents, soothing botanical extracts and nutrient-rich Moor water – ideal for dry or sensitive skin. Hydrating Toner contains softening botanical extracts that “plump” thirsty skin, and, when used regularly, help retain a healthy glow. Eye Zone Gel is a revitalizing formula that soothes the delicate skin around the eyes and reduces the appearance of skin fatigue with a unique combination of botanicals. Renewal Cream contains anti-oxidant Alpha Lipoic and DMAE, which has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Together, they reduce the impact of the aging process. Party guests will also have the option of adding on products to further redefine their skin, including facial polish, a Vitamin C mask, Platinum Supreme Serum, HGH+ anti-aging drops and a collagen supplement. The party will take place at Mountainview’s 3566 King George Blvd. centre, where patients’ health and happiness is always our first priority. The pre-paid price, which also includes refreshments, is $289. To book an appointment – or to learn more about any of our services – call 604-538-8837.

THRIFT STORE

With sincere thanks to our White Rock/ South Surrey community, WorldServe Thrift has entered its fifth year of business, continuing, with your help, to make a world of difference! Opening the door to someone else’s future is as easy as donating your gently used household items. WorldServe Thrift, at 1401 Johnston Rd., offers shoppers a clean, fresh store filled with quality merchandise and supported by friendly staff and dedicated volunteers. A few of our team members Besides being a great place to shop – every day, there’s something different to discover – WorldServe Thrift provides the community with options for sustainable living, by enabling gently used items to be repurposed, reclaimed and kept out of landfills. WorldServe Thrift provides a value-based shopping experience. The simple exchange of goods provides a powerful transformation, delivering affordable one-of-a-kind purchases to residents in the community, then providing people around the world with new possibilities. The store operates a ‘pay-it-forward’ principle, distributing useful overflow items to other local charities. As avid recyclers, WorldServe directs cloth/ fibres, shoes, books, cardboards, plastics, glass and electronics away from the landfill, striving to be environmentally responsible, socially conscious and globally concerned. Net revenue from the store – which also has locations in Calgary and Saskatoon – is directed to WorldServe Ministries Inc., a registered Canadian charity creating life-changing opportunities for people in China, Cuba, Ethiopia and Myanmar. These include education, micro businesses, community-health resources and disaster relief. There’s a place for you on our volunteer team. Whether you’re new in the city, a high school student or newly retired, it’s a great place to have fun, meet new people and share skills. For more information, call 778-284-6800, visit www.worldservethriftstore.ca or drop by the shop. We’re open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

When most people think of health and wellness, they generally think about regular exercise and eating a balanced diet. Rarely do people take into consideration that our skin is our body’s largest organ and has many functions. It forms a protective barrier over the body’s surface and keeps germs and bacteria at bay while keeping essential moisture in. It regulates body temperature and allows is the sensation of touch, heat, cold and pain. So it’s important that your skin is included in your health and wellness program to keep it as healthy as the rest of your body. Ildiko Sramaty At Femme & Homme Boutique Spa, owner Ildiko Sramaty has close to 40 years of experience with rejuvenating skin-care treatments and products. One such treatment that is gaining popularity worldwide as a natural alternative to laser treatments is called Dermal Rolling, a form of collagen induction therapy that uses a specialized device with fine, sharp sterile needles that is rolled over the skin creating tiny channels. This causes micro-injuries to the skin, which in turn stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response. The formation of new cells occurs and the fibroblasts are activated to create new collagen and elastin, which plumps the skin and reverses the visible signs of aging. The small pins also aerate the skin, allowing up to 80 per cent more absorption of skin-care products. A revolutionary skin-care treatment that many people are just becoming aware of, Dermal Rolling is proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, reduce acne scarring, stretch marks and pigmentation and aid in the effectiveness of topical vitamins and creams. This is just one of many treatments offered by the knowledgeable and caring team at Femme & Homme. Full-body beautifying treatments, relaxing manicures and pedicures, eye-care, makeup and waxing, as well as special grooming packages for men are also offered at this full-service boutique spa in the heart of White Rock. With a passion for helping others to look and feel their very best, Ildiko and her staff are thrilled to be offering customized skin and body-care therapies to their clients on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The spa also offers an array of specialty high-end European products for sale. Call today (604-535-2380) to make an appointment for a revitalizing spa experience you won’t soon forget.

If your pet had Dental Disease,

WOULD YOU KNOW?

Pets bring unconditional love and happiness into the lives of their owners, from cats and dogs to rats and bunnies – from the time you bring them home, they are truly a member of the family.

Without dental care, most dogs and cats develop dental disease. Bacteria from oral infections can make your pet very sick, dental disease can affect your pet’s heart, kidneys and liver. It can also cause severe pain, which most pets try to hide.

Dr. Khan, Amanda Wilson and Tabi Lyall with Chester

Dental month will run till end of March! Book your appointment today!

Whether your furry loved one just needs a check up, treatment or surgery for something more serious, this hospital is dedicated to providing health care and wellness programs based on your pet’s needs. In addition to the diligent care your pet will receive from doctors and their staff, the extended hours of operation at Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital make it convenient for you to get the treatment your pet needs, without having to rearrange your entire schedule. The hospital is open seven days a week and accepts walk-ins and is now offering on-call 24-hour emergency care. Certificates from the SPCA are also honoured.

Imagine a destination wedding in an idyllic location surrounded by your family and friends for an entire week. An Urve, Susan, Gail and Pauline experience of a life time which will end up financially costing you much less than a wedding at home. One of my brides commented that her experience from start to finish was “worry free”, most of the planning was left up to me, her Travel Agent and the wedding planner at the resort. The most popular wedding destinations include the Mayan Riviera in Mexico and also the Caribbean. Key factors in determining your destination would be budget expectations and often convenience of flights. Most resorts offer “credits” based on number of guests attending. This can be used towards the cost of your destination wedding. Family group travel is on an increase as well. Multi-generational travel with grandparents joining their children and their grandchildren. Whether it is to Disneyland to visit Mickey, cruising to Alaska or a European experience. Every destination has something different to contribute to your family travel experience. Maybe you would just like to leave the family behind and celebrate “YOU”…with your up close and personal friends. We have lots of options for you to make your experience exactly what you are expecting. Wine touring on a river cruise in Europe, sailing in the Mediterrean or Caribbean, and African safari?

Cartridge World

SHOP LOCAL CONTEST

When your printer ink is running low, do you hightail it to the nearest big box office supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World, at #12-3189 King George Boulevard. For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World – the world’s fastest growing ink refilling retailer – can refill or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges, using top-quality, brand-specific ink and toners. James and Mike Operating more than 1,400 locations in 50 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landfills every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for customers, entrepreneurs and the environment. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is there a risk to using a refilled cartridge? Not at all! There should be no difference in the print quality after the cartridge is refilled. Our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee is a sign of our confidence and removes any risk from you trying our services. Q: How much money will I save by refilling? Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on refills at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. In addition to savings, Cartridge World also offers their customers the ability to make a choice regarding waste reduction and the environment. Q: Will using refilled cartridges void the printer manufacturer’s warranty? No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against refilling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel confident that cartridges sold, refilled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim! Q: Is cartridge refilling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides? No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop!

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Famed play a welcome challenge for students

Of anger and justice Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t used to be known as 12 Angry Men – but it’s as 12 Angry Jurors that Reginald Rose’s stage adaptation of his 1954 teleplay is being presented at Southridge Senior School this week (Feb. 19-21). The obvious change is that the jurors in this version of the tense drama surrounding a murder trial – and the behind the scenes conflict as they discuss the innocence or guilt of the accused – are both male and female characters, allowing plenty of scope for the dramatic chops of the school’s keen theatre students. Judging by a run-through of scenes last week, this intense staged-in-the-round production highlights their considerable talents in handling more realistic, gritty fare after the fantasy and theatricality of the school’s last two major presentations (My Fair Lady and Into The Woods). Drama department head Glen Pope said this production has been updated to the 1970s for several reasons. “In the 1950s, they didn’t have women as jurors,” he said. “But we didn’t want to move it too far ahead. A lot of the same prejudices that were there in the 1950s still existed in the ’70s, even though things were changing. It was on the cusp, if you will. “We also thought it would be a fun era to play with, as far as both attitudes and costumes.” More than a dramatic exercise, or a recreation of a past era, the play, at core, is still relevant for today’s audiences, Pope said. “A lot of prejudices, issues and assumptions haven’t gone away in our ‘politically correct’ world,” he said. “They still resonate today, even if not in exactly the same way.” Grade 12 student Spencer Reichert, who plays Juror 6 – and as ‘drama steward’ serves

Nirvon Soraya-Galo, Nick Adams, Genevieve Hilton, Elijah Hewer and Lucie Marchessault in a tense scene from 12 Angry Jurors. as multi-tasked assistant to Pope – explains that a young man, on trial for allegedly stabbing his own father to death, is the trigger for an emotional reaction from many of the jurors, basing their attitudes on stereotypes. “The boy is a slum kid,” he said. “Juror 10 is a complete bigot in general and has no trouble seeing him as guilty, while Juror 5 – who’s lived in a slum all her life – grew up looking at knife fights. She can relate to him, she feels a lot of sympathy for him.” The cleverness of Rose’s script, which became a celebrated movie in 1957, is that nothing is absolutely explained – and no one is painted absolutely right or wrong. And at the end, it’s up to the audience, just like the jury, to decide what to believe. “We are all hindered by personal bias,” observed Grade 12 Nirvon Soraya-Galo, who plays Juror 8. “We’re all hindered when deciding about a man’s life – we literally have a man’s life in our hands.”

Grade 11 student Elijah Hewer explained that his character – Juror 3 – is one of the more volatile and argumentative members of the jury. “He doesn’t deal well with trying to form an opinion – and he never believes anyone else,” he says. “He wants to get his opinion across, and only his.” By contrast, Juror 8 is open to examining all the evidence in what is largely a circumstantial case – and it’s her stubborn adherence to this principle that is a catalyst for the drama, Soraya-Galo said. “She the voice – almost – of reason against prejudice. She’s concerned that everybody give the evidence a chance,” she said. “As a person, apart from the play, I do believe profoundly in everybody being treated equally – I feel it wasn’t such a huge reach for me as his part is for Elijah.” But while Hewer acknowledges that Juror 3 is naturally disposed to be combative, he said he has developed empathy for the character during the course of rehearsals for the play,

which began in October. “There are parts of Juror 3 I very much understand,” he said. “He’s very conflicted. It’s not so much that he’s a bully, but he feels he is an outcast and he fights it so much. He’s an older man and he’s seen a lot of things in his life, things he hasn’t wanted to see, and he has a family that is always on his mind. Something is always bringing him down. A son accused of killing his father really resonates with him, but his personal frustrations get in the way of this.” Reichert explains that Juror 6 is very much a man caught in the middle of the explosive emotions around him. “As opposed to Juror 3 and Juror 8, he’s more of a timid character. Those two have their opinions formulated and they live by them. He’s more in conflict with himself.” The play runs Thursday to Saturday with performances at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. each day at the school, 2656 160 St. For tickets and more information, call the school at 604-535-5056.

This year’s event takes a break from Shakespeare

Beach House goes Wilde for upcoming season Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It won’t be back at Crescent Beach until August – but planning is underway for Beach House Theatre’s fourth season. Biggest departure from previous years is the choice to do Oscar Wilde’s sparkling 1895 comedy The Importance of Being Earnest for the evening performances (Aug. 11-16), rather than another Shakespeare classic. But Robert Munsch will still be well-represented in the company’s morning show for

children. A new Debbie Patterson cards. adaptation of his stories: Munsch “When we first started, we thought we would run three years Upon A Time (Aug. 12-15), will be directed by with Shakespeare,” ❝We’ve always had Harmon said. “We’ve Peninsula-raised a number of people always had a number actress Courtney Shields, who was say they would like of people say they would like to see featured in the to see something company’s last two something different.” different.❞ Munsch shows. Earnest, which Rick Harmon Beach House follows the romantic Beach House Theatre misadventures of founders and artistic directors Candace two young men in Radcliffe and Rick Harmon say the English countryside – in the the progression to another classic process skewering many of the playwright was always on the strictures of the Victorian era

– is presented in an authentic adaptation by Errol Durbach, former department head at UBC’s theatre, that streamlines it to three acts from four. “He’s added the character of Grigsby, a lawyer, who is coming to collect a bill owed to one of the restaurants in London – which adds a little more urgency to the plot,” Harmon said. “And he’s also taken a piece from a conversation in Wilde’s An Ideal Husband, which provides a little more reference for audiences on what it meant to

be a dandy in that era,” Radcliffe said. Auditions for both shows are scheduled for Sunday, March 29 and Monday, March 30. A total of 10 non-Equity actors, ranging in age from 19 to 70, are required for Earnest, while three versatile actors, 19 plus, preferably with dance or physical performance training and skill with various accents, are required for Munsch Upon A Time.

Surrey Little Theatre presents I’ll Be Back Before Midnight

Thriller haunted with laughs Sheila Reynolds Black Press

With Jan having just gotten out of hospital, she and husband Greg are hoping some time in the country will give them a relaxing, fresh start. They rent a cabin from a farmer named George. He’s friendly, albeit a bit odd, and in addition to making them feel welcome, also likes to share with the couple ghastly tales of ghosts and murder. It’s probably the last thing fragile and jumpy Jan needs. That, and a visit from Greg’s manipulative sister, with whom she does not get along. And then there’s the strange things that begin happening in the spooky farmhouse. The combination makes for a terrifying – and often ridiculous – whodunit that Surrey Little Theatre is bringing to stage in its current production of I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. The four-person comic thriller, written by Peter Colley and directed by Lower Mainland theatre veteran Rita Price,

Hawks lose two, slip to 6th Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter

Their battle for home ice in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML) will likely come down to the last weekend of the season. The Valley West Hawks took to the ice last weekend looking for a pair of wins to climb into third place in the 13-team league. But after two losses to the Vancouver Giants, the team of elite 15- to 17-year-olds finds itself in sixth position, but still just two points away from fourth. “It was a tough weekend,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “For only the third time all season, we lost both games (on the same weekend), this one to one of the hottest teams in the league.” The Hawks were drubbed 11-5 Saturday evening in Coquitlam, then fell 7-2 in the rematch Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Their record fell to 18-12-6 (won-lost-tied), and with 42 points, they are one back of the Vancouver Canadians and two back of the fourth-place Okanagan Rockets. The Chiefs are now five points clear of the Hawks in third place, with four games remaining on the schedule. The top four teams in the MML will host a best-of-three quarterfinal series. “Saturday was a game we were chasing

The Chiefs played really well. They never let up.” Surrey’s Jeffrey Stewart and Semiahmoo

Minor Hockey’s Trevor Ayre each had a goal and two assists in the loss in Coquitlam. Ben Evanish, Daniel Watson and Logan Webber, all from Semiahmoo, netted a goal each. The Chiefs led 3-2 after one period and 7-4

Rugby players on podium Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A handful of local rugby players were part of podium-finishing Team BC Rugby squads last weekend in Las Vegas. Competing in the U19 highschool division of the Las Vegas Invitational Sevens tournament, B.Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under-18 boys defeated their older competition to finish first, while the provincial U16 team also won its division. Team BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U17 boys team finished second in high-school open division.

On the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side of the tournament bracket, Team BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U23 side placed third â&#x20AC;&#x201C; losing in the finals to Arongathi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while the U18 girls placed second in both the high-school open and highschool elite events. Nearly all the provincial rosters were dotted with Surrey and White Rock players. Team BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold-medal winning squad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which defeated a team of U.S. high-school All-Americans 31-5 in the championship game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; featured Earl Marriott

In the finals, the U17s lost 28-7 to Atlantis, after cruising into the finals with five straight victories. Team BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U23 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team had one Surrey player on its roster, Karly Reum, while the U18s featured Elgin Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tanika Bonneville and Earl Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cassie Baldo and Lia Colasacco.

second assist of the game. The Chiefs tallied two unanswered goals in the second period to take a 3-2 lead into the final frame, where they added four more goals to their total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunday was a game that got away from us,â&#x20AC;? said Leung. Valley West will play their final two home games of the season

at the Langley Sportsplex next weekend, hosting the 17-16-3 South Island Royals at 12:45 p.m. Saturday and 9:15 a.m. Sunday. The Hawks will be without coach Leung and leading scorer Malm for the final four games, as the two will join Team BC at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

Mercedes gets a grip on driving in winter weather Montreal – If there is one part of this country that knows about winter and winter driving, it is the province of Quebec. Winter weather can stretch from November until April, which is why this frost-bitten part of the country mandates winter tires on all vehicles and was the perfect spot to showcase two products from Mercedes Benz, the B-Class and CLA-Class. Both are now equipped with Mercedes 4Matic all wheel drive system. Touching down in Montreal, the outside temperature was heading to -23 overnight, plus snow, lots of snow. Perfect for winter driving. Looks Both the B-Class hatchback and CLA sedan are based on the Mercedes small car platform that is also shared with the GLA compact crossover. The B and GLA are sold with front wheel drive and now AWD. The latest B-Class was introduced a few years ago and gets a mild facelift, including a new grille, lower chin spoiler, different wheels and a new accent line down the side. The CLA was just introduced last year so external updates will have to wait another couple of years. The B-Class is a taller hatchback design that provides a useful package for young families, including bigger rear windows and a large hatch and cargo space. The CLA, on the other hand, is more about style. Inside Both the B-Class and CLA receive nice updates for 2015 on the inside. Both share the same dash so updating both made sense. The screen that sits front and centre on the dash, like and iPad is larger, moving to a standard 7-inch screen or optional 8-inch screen on cars equipped with navigation. Other updates include a sportier and very comfortable steering wheel, a revised stereo-head unit and a new instrument cluster. The B-Class 4Matic is a $2,200 premium over the FWD version, starting at $33,500. The CLA has the same $2,200 charge for AWD, starting at $36,800. One nice feature available on the CLA is an “exclusive” package that includes a leather dashboard for $2,300. Drive To explore the abilities of these two new products, the Olympic rowing basin used for the 1976 Montreal games was partially plowed, exposing sheet ice with a fresh sprinkling of snow. This provided a great example of the limits of grip and the abilities of

almost like a rear-wheel-drive car when a controlled slide is achieved. Verdict Mercedes has had enormous success with its 4Matic AWD system,

useful. The system is designed to provide power to the front wheels as often as possible and instantly transfer power to the rear wheels when extra grip is needed. Both cars feel very well balanced,

the electronic stability program, in conjunction with the AWD system. On sheet ice, there is no grip, so sliding is easy. It was on rural roads outside of Montreal that the 4Matic system proved

accounting for 85 per cent of its sales. With the introduction of these two new models, the number has jumped to over 90 per cent. This opens up the safety and stability of AWD to a larger

market. Should you consider the 4Matic version of the B-Class and CLA? Absolutely, based on the added level of security, grip and improved resale value. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Evolve destined to become a landmark residential building Sometimes big things come in small packages, and that is exactly the case for Evolve - a new high-rise condominium in the heart of Surrey City Centre. The tower is anchored in West Village, an exciting new neighborhood where convenience and luxury collide. Marketing Director, Kiran Rai says the homes are perfectly priced for a first time buyer looking to get into Metro Vancouver’s real estate market. “We often hear about how unaffordable homes in Metro Vancouver can be, it can be tough for first time buyers to get into the market,” she says. “That’s exactly what makes

Evolve unique to other tower homes, because Evolve offers concrete homes for less than the price of wood frame.” Evolve by WestStone Group will offer “micro” suites for people seeking urban ease in a home offering strategic space. One development in particular, which is located a block from city hall, will feature a 316-square-foot studio suite for less than six figures. “Evolve homes start at $93,900, meaning that with a down payment of $5000, your monthly mortgage would be less than a car loan payment,” says Rai. “Even students can stop renting and afford to buy their own homes.” But Evolve isn’t just getting at-

tention because of its price point. Exclusive to the Evolve Sales Centre is their Thin-Air Augmented Reality technology that allows each guest to essentially walk around inside a virtual version of one of the suites using the free Evolve 3D app on their own phone or tablet. Also, screens inside the sales centre allow potential buyers to see what a 3D version of their preferred floor plan looks like. The 36-storey tower offers 406 homes in a range of suits, including studios, one- and two-bedrooms, twobedroom and dens, townhome lofts, and penthouses. The suites themselves offer laminate

wood flooring throughout the entry, bedrooms, and living spaces; 8.5-foot ceilings throughout; large windows and spacious balconies to ensure plenty of natural light. The surrounding area is part of a master-planned community of West Village. Downtown Vancouver is accessible by transit at Surrey Central Skytrain Station, and over 140 stores and retailers are located at nearby Central City Shopping. The area offers a community plaza, city hall, library, shopping, recreational facilities and entertainment to ensure urban ease. Or grab a coffee, walk the dog and enjoy a jog or a stroll any time of day

through the many paths and parkland of the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. “What’s more is that Surrey was recent named one of the 7 most intelligent cities in the world, according to the Intelligent Community Forum in New York,” says Rai. If you have ever dreamed of owning a home, the opportunity is within reach with Evolve. The Sales Centre is located at 13328 104 Avenue in Surrey, BC. The anticipated date of completion is Early 2018. For more information, visit: evolvecondos.com

UBC’s Prodigy close to every urban amenity, yet surrounded by the ocean and forest parks Buffered from the rush of the city by Pacific Spirit Forest, and perched on South Wesbrook Village at UBC, is Prodigy by Adera – a collection of 188 urban apartment homes. “We are really excited about this,” says Eric Andreasen, vice-president of marketing and sales for Adera. “The UBC area is some of Vancouver’s most premium real estate because it brings a casual environment together with an intelligent lifestyle nearby one of the world’s highest ranked universities.” Prodigy is the second six-story wood-frame building at UBC that compliments its natural surroundings and incorporates elements that celebrate the west coast lifestyle. It is close to every urban amenity, yet surrounded by acres of gorgeous forest parks, trails and beaches. Extensive green spaces and pathways link the community together, giving homeowners stunning views of Mundell Park that quaintly borders the site. If the vibrant city of Vancouver is what you crave, Andreasen says it’s no more than twenty minutes away. Prodigy provides a balanced lifestyle for homeowners who seek the reprieve of the elements without sacrificing urban conveniences. Residents can enjoy small neighborhood shops and services, cafes and restaurants, with Save-On Foods, UBC Hospital, Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and the Museum of Anthropology nearby. Andreasen says that for the long-term, Prodigy is perfectly suited for families, whose children can gain an education all in one area with access to some of the top schools in Canada, including University Hill Elementary and High School and UBC. Once inside, homeowners will find both space and elegance. Unwind with spa-like luxury in Prodigy’s beautiful bathrooms that combine sleek style and durability. The elegant kitchen uses an open-floor layout and eye-pleasing aesthetics. It comes equipped with stainless-steel appliances, porcelain tile backsplashes and floors, and quartz slab countertops. Cooking is made easy; the rest is up to you. Adera’s private rooftop lanais provide ample space to relax or entertain outdoors. Best of all, each patio is

In true West Coast Modern style, these luxury apartment homes are inspired by a natural design aesthetic, achieving visual and ecological harmony. covered with a solid extension of roofline, so whatever the mood or the weather, the fun can happen yearround. Of the bedrooms, Andreasen said they took customer feedback into consideration. “We were listening to their desires, and what they were asking for was four-bedrooms,” says Andreasen.”So we put combo units together and have substantially enhanced units – we’re excited to bring it the market.” Prodigy is available in one-bedroom to four-bedroom configurations, ranging from 556 to 1,482 square feet. Homeowners at Prodigy will also have access to the i.D. By Me program, which allows personalized upgrades that suit each individual’s lifestyle and personality. Options include choosing color scheme and flooring or upgrading appliances. Prodigy is designed with simplicity in mind to create an environment that emulates the true west coast lifestyle– one that encourages relaxation. “Every aspect is designed and built to the highest standard in terms of quality and sustainability,” says Andreasen. “It’s always a big moment to actually be able to move into the building. The grand opening of on-site displays and the public release of the second building takes place Feb. 28, with private previews available the week in advance for VIP customers, friends and family. Prodigy’s new Sales Centre is open this week, at 118 – 6033 Gray Avenue, Vancouver. For more information, visit www.adera.com, email prodigy@adera.com, call 604-221-8878.

OBITUARIES

VIDIAN-JONES, Ryan

May 10th, 1925 – February 2nd, 2015 Ryan Vidian-Jones passed away peacefully at the age of 89 with his son Colin and daughter Glynis at his side. He will be missed more than words can say. Ryan had a remarkable and full life with many adventures and stories to share. He was a true gentleman, an honourable man, a supportive father and loyal friend. Born in London, England Ryan trained on the HMS Conway as a cadet and had further training at Greenwich Naval College to prepare for his years at sea with the Merchant Navy and Royal Indian Navy in WWII. Making his way to Canada after the war he became an R.C.M.P. officer and later worked for IXL Brick and Tile in Medicine Hat, Alta. The last 30+ years Ryan worked passionately in the gold placer mining industry traveling to Ghana, Peru, California, northern B.C. and the Yukon. In the last 6 years he traveled twice to Perth in Western Australia to visit family. He was a devoted Vancouver Conway Club member and gave the address to a standing ovation at the International Conway Reunion in June 2014. Ryan was pre-deceased by his wife Dorothy Vidian-Jones, sister Gwyneth Morrison, sister in law Eileen Sissons and brother in law Tom Sissons. He is survived by his son Colin Vidian-Jones (Kathy), daughter Glynis Lumley (David), granddaughters Brianne Lumley, Meagan Vidian-Jones, Mariah Lumley, nephew Patrick Robb (Phyl) and numerous other nieces and nephews. A “celebration of life” will be held at a later date to be announced.

OBITUARIES

Elsie Elenor Mclean (Thorgeirson) nee Jonson It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elsie Mclean (Thorgeirson) on Friday, February 13th, 2015. Elsie was born on January 18th, 1925 in Buford, Alberta to Abner and Adelia Jonson. Mom grew up on a farm near Calmar, Alberta and spoke no English, only Swedish when she started school. Her father died of a heart attack when she was only 11 years old. Her mother remarried, then died in pregnancy when mom was 15 years old. Elsie had to stop school to work on the farm with her older sister Cecelia when she was only 12 years old. Elsie came out to Vancouver in 1944 for a visit, and ended up never moving back to Alberta. She was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1945. Her first job was at “Copp the Shoe Man”, in New Westminster. Then she worked at Woodward’s grocery section. She met Edward Thorgeirson and they married in 1947, living first in Surrey. In 1948, Ed & Elsie moved to a farm in East Abbotsford, then built a house in Clearbrook in 1958, where they lived and raised their 6 kids until they moved into a smaller condo in Abbotsford in 1992. Ed passed away suddenly in 1993. Elsie was re-married in 1997 to George (Sandy) Mclean. They moved to Whiterock in 1999. Sandy passed away in 2006. Elsie moved back to Abbotsford to the MSA Manor care home in 2014. Elsie was always full of energy and loved singing around the house while getting her chores done. She loved her family and friends to be around, and both she and dad were well known for their outstanding hospitality. It seemed there were always visitors and the coffee was always on. Elsie was pre-deceased by her sisters (Edna & Cecelia), husbands (Edward & Sandy). She will be missed by her 6 children and their spouses; Judy & Rick Malet-Veale , Wayne & Lynda Thorgeirson, Sandy Thorgeirson, Rod & Dicki Thorgeirson, Keith & Donna Thorgeirson, Barry & Lesley Thorgeirson, her 13 grandchildren, and 7 (soon to be 8) great-grandchildren, and many other extended family and friends. The family is grateful to the staff at the MSA Manor for the love and care they showed for mom as dementia took its course with her. We would also like to thank the doctors and nurses who helped mom with her last hours in the ER ward at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. There will be a memorial service for Elsie at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Abbotsford at 1672 Salton Rd, on Saturday, February 21st, at 3 pm.
