Seniors taking care of themselves on their own dime: Mackenzie

‘Silver tsunami’ debunked by advocate Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The majority of seniors – including those living on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – are self-sufficient financially and will not ever need to reside in a care home.

The points, B.C. seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie told a crowd of 100-plus at White Rock Community Centre last week, are among facts that dispel the “silver tsunami” myth: the prevalent fear that the growing senior population is threatening to drain the province’s future resources.

While seniors are projected to comprise 24 per cent of the population by 2031 – up from 17 per cent today – that fear is unfounded, she said.

“When you actually go and look at the facts, instead of provocative headlines… it’s a very, very different picture,” the advocate told the crowd gathered at the event organized by CARP and the Semiahmoo Seniors Planning Table – one of three local opportunities Wednesday for residents to learn about, and access, provincial resources.

The shift, Mackenzie added, is slow, and there is time for B.C. to prepare. Other world jurisdictions have reached the milestone, “and their sky has not fallen.”

“Seniors, for the most part, are taking care of themselves and they’re taking care of themselves on their own dime,” she said.

Noting her own parents live in South Surrey, Mackenzie outlined the role of her office – which was established just two years ago.

B.C. seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie addresses a crowd of more than 100 at the White Rock Community Centre last week.

Statistics cited include that nine per cent of B.C.’s population over the age of 75 cannot hold a conversation in English, and that health records of seniors in residential care show 33 per cent are on antipsychotic medication. The latter is concerning, Mackenzie said,

because only four per cent of those noted have a diagnosed condition that would require the drug.

“It is rare… and it should be a temporary measure,” she said.

“These numbers are not showing rare or temporary.”

Other concerns Mackenzie high-

lighted include the prevalence of caregiver distress; a need to consider different needs in residential care; increasing awareness of resources available for seniors; and a need to accept how seniors choose to live, including a choice to live at risk.

“We do a very, very good job

when people are compliant with what we think they should do,” Mackenzie said. “But when you have a different idea of what you want to do, it doesn’t run so smoothly, because we’re intolerant of what you think you can do.” i see page 5

Taste, appearance may be noticeable, city news bulletin states

White Rock to phase in chlorine citywide this month Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock will begin secondary treatment of the water supply this month as staff phase in the addition of chlorine to the city’s wells.

A city news bulletin last week stated that residents “may notice differences in the taste and appearance” of the water supply as the city moves forward with the disinfection.

(604) 535-8118 www.insighteyecare.ca

City manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News Tuesday that the addition of chlorine will start with a portion of the system before it is phased to all seven wells, and the amount of chlorine slowly increased to meet the required levels by the June 30 Fraser Health deadline.

“We’re starting a little early because we do need a phased approach,” Bottrill said. “We’re going to be putting in a higher strength of

chlorine… so we need to determine how that’s going to impact the manganese that already exists within the water lines.

Chlorination has been in place at the Merklin Street reservoir since the 2010 boilwater advisory triggered by the discovery of E.coli in the supply. Following that incident, Fraser Health mandated that the city’s water supply undergo system-wide secondary disinfection.

In December, city staff told council the preferred disinfection method for the city was chloramine – a mix of chlorine and ammonia – due to the high levels of manganese in the supply, which would react with chlorine, causing staining and cloudy water.

The news prompted an outcry from residents, who cited potential negative health, environmental and infrastructure effects of i see page 2

That evening, council voted unanimously to abandon its plans to use chloramine, and treat the water with chlorine instead.

A request by the city for Fraser Health to extend its June 30 disinfection deadline – to give the city time to

address the high arsenic and manganese levels – was denied.

Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, told PAN following council’s decision last month that residents are likely to notice the esthetic effects of chlorine reacting with manganese.

The South Surrey-White Rock Federal Liberal Association will host a “pre-budget consultation forum” Saturday (Feb. 13) in White Rock.

Set for 1:30-3 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.), the event – according to a news release issued by association president Bill Brooks – is “to engage our community and elected officials in order to provide the most thorough, transparent discussion.”

“The federal government is going out across the country, talking to people live and online to get a better understanding of the priorities of Canadians,” the release states.

“They want feedback and ideas on where the government should be allocating funds in order to invest in the needs of Canadians, as well as stimulating the economy during this time of slow growth.”

The forum is open to the public.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann said police were called to the off-leash dog park – in the 13400-block of 20 Avenue – around 9:45 a.m. Feb. 3.

“An argument between two people resulted in an alleged assault,” Schumann said Friday.

He would not share specifics – noting there were no arrests – only that it was between two men, one of whom editorial@peacearchnews.com was briefly detained.

A caller to Peace Arch News described seeing several patrol cars on the scene, as well as an ambulance, however, Schumann said those details were exaggerated.

Senate majority attempt to block repeal of laws targeting unions

Tories continue to defend Hiebert’s bill Alex Browne Staff Reporter

South Surrey-White Rock Conservative MP Dianne Watts said she has “no knowledge of what the Senate is planning on doing” about the potential repeal of controversial labour bills C-377 and C-525.

Conservatives in the Senate – where they have a majority – have said they will do everything in their power to block legislation to repeal the laws, announced late last month by the federal Liberals.

Watts, who has previously said she has no specific concerns about reporting of union financial information to CRA – the crux for supporters of C-377 – said, however, she does not consider either bill to be antilabour.

The Liberals have long promised to repeal the bills – branded ‘union-busting’ by opponents – both of which were passed in the waning days of Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.

Bill C-377, a private member’s bill presented and championed by former South Surrey-Cloverdale-White Rock Conservative MP Russ Hiebert, would require unions to publicly report salaries and any expenses over $5,000, estimate how much they spent on political activities and provide details of those from whom they purchased goods and services – requirements opponents have said are designed to tie unions up in red tape and which would be liable to legal and constitutional challenge.

C-525 would remove automatic certification for workers in federally regulated business sectors where more than 50 per cent of employees signed a union card – which opponents claim will make it more difficult for workers to organize, and much easier to decertify a union.

Watts said in November that she was not surprised the Liberals were planning to repeal her predecessor’s bill, which had been among their campaign promises, and she

said she had no specific concerns about the reporting of union information.

“I think there are measures in place currently that address that issue,” she said at that time.

Responding to Peace Arch News’ request for comment on last month’s Dianne Watts announcement, Watts emailed from the House of Commons that while she was not aware of what Senate Conservatives would do to block repeal of the bills, she was adamant that “these are not anti-union bills.”

“One gives the union membership the democratic right to vote by secret ballot. The second is around disclosure of the union executive to report publicly to their membership on expenditures. Some unions have this in place now and others do not.”

Watts echoed Hiebert’s longtime argument

that his bill “puts unions in the same reporting category of non- profits or any other organization that receives tax credits from the federal government.”

Hiebert declined a PAN request for comment in November, when the Liberals announced that they Russ Hiebert were beginning the process of repeal of C-377.

At that time, a representative of Hiebert deferred comment to John Mortimer, president of LabourWatch, an anti-union group that critics of his bill have said was among those who contributed to drafting and lobbying for the legislation.

Mortimer suggested moves to dismantle C-377 were part of the current government’s commitment to unions in response to their financial support for the Liberals during last year’s election campaign.

Overhead wires along Parker Street in White Rock, which resident Mike Armstrong (shown below, at city council in September) was pushing to have relocated underground.

Petition fails but proponent says the City of White Rock dropped the ball

Underground wires ‘would’ve been an easy win’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A White Rock resident who spearheaded an initiative to move overhead utility wires in his neighbourhood underground says he doesn’t understand why the city isn’t encouraging the project, given that the improvements are part of the city’s Official Community Plan.

Mike Armstrong, a Parker Street resident, first proposed the idea of relocating the hydro and telephone wires, after he learned his neighbourhood would be undergoing roadway improvements this year.

Speaking to council in September, Armstrong said many of the neighbours he had spoken to agreed to pay for the portion of the work on their own property, and that the cost would be significantly reduced because the roadways would already be dug up for the road work. Council referred the matter to staff.

In November, the city sent out a non-binding petition asking residents in the area if they supported or opposed the project at an estimated cost

of $16,200 per household, which was met with concern by some area residents.

Last week, the city sent out a letter with results from the petition, which indicated that an average of 61 per cent of residents on six separate streets were against relocating the overhead wiring. The Community Charter requires 50 per cent plus one in support in order for a project to proceed.

Armstrong told Peace Arch News Monday that the petition was not what he had in mind when he spoke as a delegation to council in September, and said not only was the city’s estimate not accurate, the results did not paint a clear picture of what residents want.

“When council sent it to staff, we thought that meant staff would figure out how to do it. But what staff did was send out a survey with an estimate,” Armstrong said, noting an independent estimate he commissioned from BC Hydro and Telus approximated the bill to be about $8,000 per household.

“The residents are not against it at all, what they’re against is paying for the undergrounding

of the wires on city property, which the city’s OCP states they want to do, but the city wants to put all the cost onto the residents.”

White Rock’s OCP, currently in the midst of an update, touches on moving wires underground under transportation and infrastructure goals and policies, where it states the city should “encourage opportunities to reduce the need for overhead wiring.”

Results from last spring’s Imagine White Rock 2045 survey – which is being used by staff to establish a framework for the new OCP – indicate that moving wires underground ranked third among ways the city can improve the design and appearance of the community, with 57 per cent of respondents in support.

Armstrong said the project was a “perfect example” of a private-public partnership, where the city and residents could have split the cost of the work to “beautify the city.”

“I keep reading about how council’s getting flak for not following the OCP, so it just seemed like an easy win for them,” Armstrong said.

editorial

It was 40 years ago today…

T

he more things change, the more they stay the same.

As cliché as the adage may be, one only needs a glance at headlines in the Peace Arch News when this paper first hit the stands 40 years ago – an anniversary marked on this very day, we might add – to realize the truth of it.

The topics then – just as today – covered a familiar range of community interests, from concern over water bills in White Rock and pride in students notching impressive achievements, to issues with parking, crime and tax hikes.

Then, it was “School board to talk to teachers”; “BNR Station plans not stationary”; “Local girl reaches finals”; “Hospital auxiliary has successful year”; “Perplexing parking problems probed” – the list goes on.

While the “players” of the stories have certainly changed over the years – along with PAN staff, the newspaper industry itself and, perhaps most notably, the many ways we now share the news – the things that matter to the community have been largely consistent.

Sharing these matters with readers was a driving factor behind the creation of PAN. Launched Feb. 10, 1976 with an original run of just 13,000 copies – and initially known as The Peace Arch News and Consumers’ Guide – it was put together in an office just north of 16 Avenue/ North Bluff Road. Distribution, for the most part, was by Canada Post.

There were six stories on the front page that first day – compared to the less-cluttered twoor three-story norm of today. Readers gleaned information on everything from the construction of a new post office at 24 Avenue and King George Highway, to the illness of former White Rock mayor Harry Douglass and the annual meeting of the Canadian Red Cross Society.

These days, you won’t find recipes for elephant stew on these pages; also long gone are such intriguing – and perhaps confusing – headlines as “Senior citizens who vibrate”.

But if you leaf through an issue – and we hope you do – you will still learn who took White Rock officials to task most recently; what high school students have been up to; what advice seniors heard at a local meeting and more.

Avidly read and actively debated, it is – and always has been – a work in progress.

As PAN founder Roy Jelly stated in a typically modest page-one introduction four decades ago: “It is impossible to include all the news we would like and we are sure we can do better.”

Many awards and accolades later, that commitment hasn’t changed. The process may be imperfect, but the aim must always be to improve.

under from capital spending. It boosted the gas tax to help pay for the Evergreen Line project, which is still under construction. Its inability to take on more capital projects is one reason the Pattullo Bridge replacement project is nowhere close to getting off the drawing board.

If Surrey or regional taxpayers only had to pay 10 per cent towards the capital costs of the LRT line, that would make it much more likely to proceed. It would be difficult to finance a one-third share of the cost through property taxes or other new taxes, such as the sales tax increase rejected by voters in the TransLink referendum.

The challenge of capital costs is one of the main reasons that Surrey has pushed for LRT, as opposed to an expansion of SkyTrain. LRT, because it is at-grade, is cheaper to build. The many critics of the Surrey LRT plans point out that travel times won’t be much different that they are now, via bus and car. They are correct. However, unless the federal and/ or provincial governments begin to pick up a larger share of the capital costs of the transit projects, it is unlikely that they will be built anytime soon.

Hepner has to be happy with how the planets have aligned for LRT. It seems likely that the construction work for at least the first phase – the line along King George Boulevard and 104 Avenue – will be underway in time for the next election.

That should give her some ammunition for a re-election bid in 2018.

Dangerous situations Editor: I live in the Pacific Douglas neighbourhood that has been growing in the past few years and is now a lovely place to raise a family.

However, I am really upset at the dangerous driving I see every day at the intersection of 8 Avenue and 172 Street. This is the main road access to our neighbourhood, and it has been getting busier each month, often with a line of cars waiting for each light.

Trucks travelling east between the Highway 99 off-ramp and the truck crossing on 176 Street routinely blow through the red light long after it has turned green for the cars turning west onto 8th from 172nd.

Trucks need a warning signal that the light at that intersection is about to change so they can slow down early enough, because by the time they are close they are going so fast they cannot stop when it changes.

I believe a dump truck hit a small vehicle there a year ago, and I am sure it is only a matter of time before someone else is injured or killed.

There should also be cameras to allow these drivers to be ticketed when they blow the light.

Last week, my friend narrowly avoided being plowed into by a semi, and only took that extra second to look again after seeing her green leftturn arrow because I had told her to watch out for this exact thing.

It makes me sick to think of what could have happened to her and my baby in the back seat. The truck driver didn’t even have the judgment to lay on the horn to warn the driver waiting to turn into his path that he was about to run them down.

This is an unacceptable situation.

Cheryl Wilson, Surrey Q When out walking the other day, I took the wood stairs off of Thrift Avenue down into the ravine adjacent to Ruth Johnson Park.

Part way down, my feet went from under me and I had a terrible fall.

Fortunately, I did not incur a more serious injury other than bruising all over my legs and back.

These stairs in particular should be marked unavailable until they are all covered in either a screen or shingle material. As is, they are extremely dangerous!

Paul A. Dukes, White Rock

Parking progress Editor: Re: House purchase boosts parking plans, Feb. 3.

Sometimes ‘progress’ is so hard to define – one would only hope that it would add to one’s quality of life.

However, as my good neighbour former councillor Alan Campbell puts it, that is not always the case.

Like him, I have loved living down here just a few steps from the beautiful White Rock waterfront.

Also like him, I am left to wonder at some of the ‘improvements’ made in the name of progress.

Many years ago it was The Boathouse Restaurant that got the hillside residents involved in protecting development along the beach. This resulted in a petition, a delay in building, a fine and, finally, a building that exceeded the height bylaw and unfortunately set a precedent for future development.

Then, as Campbell noted, there is the fiasco of the Sausalito that went from charming bed-and-breakfast to a six-storey concrete ‘monolith’, thanks in part to a court order – a case of ‘progress’ as defined by our government’s court system!

Now, I sit here on my deck and look out on Campbell’s family home and the grey concrete of the Sausalito next to it blocking the view up Victoria Drive, and the sky with the rising moon.

I understand why I am losing both a good neighbour and hardworking former city councillor who cared and fought so much for our neighbourhood.

And, yes, I do realize how difficult it will be for you and your family to

drive away but, as you know, better now than later, when this proposed “parkade” is built on this extremely busy corner, when it will be next to impossible to drive anywhere at all, especially during the summer season.

Ah, yes, Mayor Wayne Baldwin – and you, too, Coun. Grant Meyer – can I just say that ‘progress’ at any cost is really not progress at all. By the way, the ‘hump’ is another bad, short-sighted idea. Both areas are far too congested for a parking lot.

As I have suggested in the past, it is time to consider a parkade at East Beach and a shuttle/trolley system along the beachfront both as a parking solution and a tourist attraction. Perhaps, as a bonus, that would allow the city to shut down the beachfront to traffic once a week or month for a flea market or street party. It’s a matter of sitting down with all parties concerned and discussing how it can be done and its benefit to all those involved…

Now that really would be ‘progress’.

Barry Cameron, White Rock Q

An open letter to Mayor Baldwin.

I think this plan for a new parkade is a brilliant idea – one long overdue.

With the purchase of Al Campbell’s house, to give it a much-needed larger footprint, the structure has tons of potential – such as one or two floors below ground, if feasible, and the sky is the limit for height.

One can plan for future parking requirements as White Rock is a growing concern. Too often in the peak periods you see people actually becoming aggressive and blocking spots with their bodies to get dibs on the spots. Not a great situation.

This is exciting, as the BSNF will not get a share of the proceeds – so it is just a win-win situation. I will be fully supporting this in my limited capacity as a resident.

Takes pressure off of more parking being needed on the ‘hump’, which can now be put back into form with some semblance of organized beautification.

Looking forward to hearing of another parkade down in East Beach.

Garry Wolgemuth, White Rock

Letter-writer Maureen Kerr says families can only do so much to help those struggling with their mental health.

Failure to treat illness costs lives Editor: We are a barbaric people, some of us, full of impressive words and passionate concern about mental health and addiction recovery while doing very little about it.

Being the mother of a drug addict is like having my heart ripped out one inch at a time. It’s a raw and seeping wound that never stops bleeding, awake or asleep, whenever I see him and whenever I don’t. Not just because I’m forced to watch him die a slow and painful death in front of my eyes, but because I can do absolutely nothing about it.

I cannot gather my son in my arms and transport him to safe harbour. I cannot scoop him from the tortured hell he lives in and plunk him down somewhere opposite. He’s an adult. He has rights. This haunted, emaciated skeleton – this ghost of what he once was and still could be – has rights.

Experts tell us that addiction is a brain disorder. That repeated drug use leads to changes in the brain that undermine voluntary control. And yet we demand choices from people who are no longer capable of them.

Workers in the field know that drug addiction is a mental-health issue, and still our Mental Health Act does not include it. I cannot force my son into treatment. He has to make the call. He has to hit bottom. The problem is, by the time he does, he’ll be dead.

If a drowning man was too beaten, too exhausted, and too befuddled to lift his hand to yours, would you stand on the river bank and watch him drown?

ADHD, severe depression and years of drug abuse cause impaired judgment and incapacity. My son suffers from it all in a “recovery house” that isn’t one, at the mercy of a landlord who exploits our most vulnerable.

No food, no heat, no oven, no telephone. Alerting the authorities is pointless; the guy always wiggles out.

Besides, it’s better than living under a tree. They’re addicts. Where can they go? No one else will take them.

If I played the mom card, I might get him into treatment. Keeping him there is more difficult. He’s been clean before, nine months once, but didn’t find the magic bullet and no longer believes in the 12-step program.

And getting to the top of a waiting list takes courage, faith, persistence and a telephone, when the only push left in him is to search for drugs to stop the pain.

Mostly he doesn’t. Mostly he’s dope sick, without drugs and without hope. He doesn’t eat, doesn’t talk, and hasn’t slept since 2012 when the mother of his child committed murder under the influence of drugs and alcohol and we lost my only grandson in the aftermath.

I couldn’t help her, either. Same old story.

You can’t force an adult into treatment, blah, blah, blah. A young girl dead, the other locked up, and a small boy loses his entire birth family. Will it ever stop?

When are we going to fix this? Policy doesn’t change until large numbers demand it.

Why aren’t we doing that? Why aren’t we saving our drowning people?

Surrey RCMP investigating unrelated incidents

Two stabbed in six hours Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Surrey RCMP is investigating following an early-morning stabbing Friday.

Police say a 58-year-old man was found with a stab wound in the 6000-block of King George Boulevard around 3:30 a.m. today. “Investigators are still at the scene and will be working closely with the forensics officers examining the scene,� Cpl.

Scotty Schumann said in a news release issued just before noon Friday.

He noted the victim is known to police, and the injuries were not life-threatening.

No suspects have been identified.

It was the second stabbing in the city in the space of six hours.

Around 10 p.m. Thursday, police called to the 8200-block of 120 Street found a 36-year-old man suffering from stab wounds.

That victim’s wounds – reportedly inflicted during a fight between two groups of people who are known to one another – were also not life-threatening, according to police.

Schumann told Peace Arch News Friday that the two incidents are “definitely� not related.

Anyone with information on either incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stopper at 1-800-2228477.

“New York’s economy is as big as Australia’s, Chicago’s is as big as Nigeria and Houston is as big as Taiwan’s,” he noted.

“The U.S. economy is a large, dominant force in the global economy.”

Eamonn Percy, founder of the Percy Group Capital and Business Advisors, suggested businesses should be looking ahead and said planning just to be competitive locally or provincially isn’t good enough anymore.

“I might not have said that 10 years ago,” he said, adding three global trends have changed his mind.

Citing advancements in technology, the changing demographics in the workplace, and the ever-expanding “greater global connectiveness,” Percy said the question for business is how to adapt to the changing trends rather than fight them.

“If I was a competitor, what would I do to put myself out of business?” he said.

“That’s what you need to ask yourself. Then you need to plan to dominate your sector globally.”

aboriginal people have grown tired of being used as props in global de-marketing campaigns directed from San Francisco or Amsterdam. The protesters’ tactic of organizing customer boycotts that damage far-away economies might be good for international fundraising, but it’s bad for poor people.

Formally begun 10 years ago with $30 million from Ottawa, $30 million from B.C. and $60 million from a group of wealthy U.S. family foundations with a larger antidevelopment agenda, the land-use plan remains under attack.

Among the many protest outfits is Pacific Wild, which has specialized in Great Bear Rainforest campaigns and now needs a new enemy.

Their credibility was demonstrated recently when potty-mouthed U.S. pop star Miley Cyrus decided to speak out against B.C.’s wolf kill.

Typical of celebrities, Cyrus had no idea about the struggle to preserve dwindling herds of mountain caribou. She barely knows where B.C. is, a fact made plain when Pacific Wild toured her around the North Coast, far from the Kootenay and South Peace regions where the wolves in question actually roam.

Cyrus’s handlers spoon-fed video and statements to urban

media, who were so anxious to exploit her global popularity that they played down the fact she was at the wrong end of the province spouting nonsense.

After periodically attacking their own B.C. agreement as inadequate, Greenpeace and ForestEthics have moved on to what they call the “boreal forest,� which we like to call northern Canada. The same bully tactics with forest products customers and producers have been featured.

This time, a Quebec company that signed an accord in 2010 is suing Greenpeace for “defamation, malicious falsehood and intentional interference in economic relations.�

Aboriginal companies on the B.C. coast will continue to log, including areas of old-growth forest and secondary growth. They will continue to export logs as economics dictate. They will continue to harvest animals, including grizzly bears.

And, I expect, they will continue to be subjected to attempts to supervise and direct them by members of urban society’s new religion, environmentalism.

The leaders of this movement don’t like peace. It’s bad for their business.

The weekend is open to 65 participants per year, ranging in age from 15-17. There is no cost for the youths to participate, as each $425 fee is paid for by their sponsoring Rotary clubs.

The curriculum, developed by local Rotarians Gary and Nita Hollick, combines a variety of leadership and growth speakers with directly relating activities to apply the learning. The program is led by youth, with guidance from adult Rotarians, in accordance with Rotary guidelines.

Attendees are permitted to attend this event only once as a participant, but many return two to three times as a facilitator.

The material is delivered in four sessions spread over three days, each session with a theme.

The event kicks off Friday afternoon with the well-timed pre-judging and assumptions session, with the remainder of the topics – goal setting and time management, risktaking and choices, and problem solving – being discussed over the remainder of their time together. The youths pack up and say

their goodbyes at noon on Sunday.

“We see a world of difference in their interaction between day one and day three,” said Hank Adolfi, a committee member and active Rotarian visiting from Coupville, Whidbey Island.

“We see phenomenal growth take place here – the closeness of friendships formed are way beyond anything else you’d typically encounter in a 48-hour experience.”

As I excused myself to continue on with the responsibilities of my day, the energy of the event stayed with me, leaving me wishing I was a teenager and eligible to attend myself.

What extraordinary leadership potential would I uncover and learn to apply in worldchanging ways?

It may be too late for me, but how about for you? Are you interested in attending or know of a youth you’d like to nominate?

110-year-old railcar welcomed in Cloverdale

2016 PRE-BUDGET

New heritage train arrives

Hon. Bill Morneau Minister of Finance

LET’S GROW OUR ECONOMY TOGETHER MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT.

Jennifer Lang Black Press

A century-old interurban railcar has found a new home in Cloverdale, where the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) welcomed the new arrival Jan. 28.

The 110-year-old car was transported by road from Vancouver to Surrey in the middle of the night.

It was loaded onto a flat-deck trailer at False Creek at around 2 a.m. and arrived safely at the FVHRS’s car barn, at 176 Street and Highway, 10 at 3 a.m.

“It went extremely well,” Ray Hudson, communications director for the FVHRS, said of the historic move.

It was owned by Bryon and Diane Cole of Seattle, who had leased it to the City of Vancouver. They’ve donated it to the FVHRS and were on hand during the transfer.

The car was built in New Westminster in 1905 and was part of the B.C. Electric Railway, a passenger and freight service that operated to the early 1950s shuttling commuters and goods from Vancouver to Steveston, New Westminster and the Fraser Valley, where the line ran as far east as Chilliwack.

For most of its life, old Car 1207 ran on the Marpole-Steveston line, a route fondly known as the “Sockeye Express” because many of the commuters were cannery workers.

It’s still in beautiful condition, boasting polished brass fittings and grained wood, along with two working engines. The seating capacity is 32 regular seats and 24 seats in the smoking section. The 19thcentury style roof features windows that open.

“Nice car,” observed society member Gary Rideout as he stepped inside the car for the first time.

“Ain’t she a beaut?” agreed Hudson.

In 1998, the car was brought out of 40 years of retirement in Vancouver, where it was one of two former B.C. Electric Railway Interurbans used for a

Car 1207 was in storage, out of sight, while a new home was sought.

“We made it quite clear that we wanted it,” Hudson said.

In Cloverdale, the volunteer railway plans to press it into service this spring, joining BCER 1225 – restored several years ago to working condition after thousands of hours of labour – at Surrey’s heritage rail operations.

“It’s going to look like a million bucks,” said society director Ron Powers.

The society is also working to complete restorations on Car 1304, the last Interurban to make the run through Cloverdale to Chilliwack before the electric railway shut down.

Is there a definitive link between hearing loss and Alzheimer’s?

$500 OFF

Poor hearing not only affects your everyday life, it can affect your long-term brain health!

your purchase of a pair of hearing aids

Many studies have shown a significant link between hearing loss and dementia, which may lead to Alzheimer’s.

Processing auditory information uses a significant portion of the brain. Sound travels through your ear to nerves that send signals to the brain. The sounds are processed in the brain putting the information from your ears into speech.

But, if the brain cannot hear that information due to hearing loss, then brain activity lessens. This causes a reduction in gray matter of the brain over time. In other words, your brain shrinks! Patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s can receive appropriate hearing loss treatment, and in turn, reduce their cognitive decline. Therefore, it is imperative that those being diagnosed with dementia have hearing testing to determine if hearing loss is contributing to the patient’s dementia. The symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s can mimic hearing loss.

The Facts: • 83% of patients diagnosed with dementia also have hearing loss.

• A mild hearing loss doubles the risk of dementia and a moderate hearing loss increases the risk of dementia fivefold.

• Mild hearing loss is linked to brain atrophy. Those with hearing loss have less gray matter and decreased brain activity in their auditory cortex.

• Early treatment is essential in restoring cognitive function for speech perception.

WHEN TREATED WITH HEARING AIDS: • 33% of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s were reclassified to a less severe category.

• Improvement in memory of patients with dementia increased, hearing aids can boost cognitive function 50% within a year.

Call for your FREE In-Clinic Demo & FREE Hearing Screening “I wear hearing aids. We know what works.”

- Steve Wiens, Division Manager Crystal Hearing Centre

• 100% of caregivers said behavior improved, social interaction increased, patients were less depressed and with a better attitude, and in all cases their relationships improved.

Consider the following: Laura Thibeault 1) Do your homework; know the area you Realtor want and be ready to act quickly.

2) Work with an experienced realtor who has dealt with multiple offers before.

4) Preview documents like title searches and strata minutes before writing.

5) Have a building inspector accompany you when viewing the home.

6) Submit a deposit with your offer with to show genuine interest.

7) Use completion and possession dates the seller finds most attractive.

8) Go in with your absolute best price and as few subjects as possible.

9) Some people write letters about why they love the home. Tugging at heartstrings occasionally helps but is rarely a major factor.

from your shoes and motion in the big toe joint can cause pain. Bunions can often progress gradually until running and sometimes even walking are extremely painful.

Causes: A bunion is a condition Dr. Howard Green that can be due to heredity, or a Podiatrist biomechanical problem (overpronation).

Treatment: Wear a pad over the bunion to reduce friction on the inside of your shoes. If you think over-pronation is the cause, try a custom orthotic, which will reduce the excessive pronation and minimize the future growth of the bunion. More painful bunions often require surgical correction.

Prevention: Assuming the bunion isn’t inherited, the most important measure that you can take is to make sure that your shoes fit properly and provide adequate support for your feet.

If over-pronation is a problem, look to purchase ‘motion-control’ shoes.

Activity Restrictions: None, unless the bunions have become too painful.

canadiantire.ca

Everyone knows Canadian Tire at South Point Exchange – now in its 15th year serving White Rock and South Surrey customers – is a one-stop shopping option providing a huge selection of merchandise for home, garden, indoor and outdoor sports and automotive needs.

But owner Dan Higgins has a few departments and features he’d like to bring to customers’ attention.

“One is that we have a large gardening department, with everything from fertilizers/soils, pots and solutions to all of your watering needs. We also have a large selection of upscale barbecues, both natural gas and propane, and upscale lawn furniture, including brands like La-Z-Boy, Napoleon, Coleman and Cuisinart.” he said, adding that the range of products extends from the more affordable to the most luxurious in outdoor Dan Higgins entertaining environments.

“In the sports line, we also have a full fishing and hunting pro shop – with a large accompanying line of fishing and hunting accessories. The vast camping selection completes a one stop shop experience with everything from tents, sleeping bags, cookware to coolers, cubed ice and a large selection of camping accessories. We also carry a full assortment of soccer, ball hockey, baseball, racquet, golf and lacrosse equipment, all at guaranteed low prices.”

Canadian Tire has also taken care to make sure that upscale products are available across the board in household appliances, including such recognized manufacturer names as Dyson, Circulon, Philips, Keurig, Tassimo and Cuisinart.

“We’ve got a big selection of home decor items including light fixtures, ceiling fans, lamps and rugs, and lots of garage and home storage ideas, as well as plumbing/electrical repair.”

“Customers should also remember that Canadian Tire offers a huge selection of dog, cat and bird food, treats and accessories.”

Canadian Tire also offers a large selection of automotive wash, wax, polish and interior detailing products. The selection of RV accessories, carriers, tarps and tie downs are guaranteed to give you peace of mind when traveling this summer.

“Automotive service needs are very well-covered, with a 10-bay garage and mechanics on duty seven days a week and licensed technicians available to work on any make of vehicle. We can also get you any type of tire for your vehicle overnight. Most tires are in stock, and can be installed on the same day.”

Products in every department and the online exclusive assortment can also be ordered online and picked up at the store.“As owners of the store, Sue and I also work and live in the community – and we like to give back through everything from sports teams and the hospital to dry grads and community policing.”

Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program – a community-based charity that helps young people from 4 to 18 participate in organized sports and education, is a great source of pride to the Higgins as well.

“Since its inception it’s helped over 1 million children ‘get in the game’ across Canada– and 100 per cent of the funding raised in the community stays in the community with zero administration charges.”

Eleganté Shoes With decades of experience in the footwear industry, a dedication to customer service and a keen eye for the latest fashion trends from around the globe, it’s no wonder Elegante Shoes in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre has been a favourite shopping destination on the Peninsula for years.

As the oldest footwear store on the Peninsula – celebrating over 30 years in business – this familyowned footwear store offers an international selection of the best in shoe shopping for men and women of all ages.

Scott

“It’s all about knowing who your customer is,” owner 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 known for keeping an eye out for the latest styles, they have also built a strong reputation on timeless, high-quality footwear from brands like Bussola, Keen, Johnson & Murphy, Sahcha Londa, Jana, 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. Start off Spring 2016 with sneakers in primary colours, jellies and colourful rain gear. Move on to Summer with ladylike heels and sling backs, floral prints, perforations and cool ballerinas. Earthy flats with contoured footbeds are sweetened up with pastel colours, soft wide straps wrap the foot and make even high heels and wedges easy to wear all day!

Spring Styles Arriving Daily

Get Peace Arch Toyota Service Manager John Hughes going, and he sounds like a proud dad - of a very large family. “We have 36 people in our service department,” he says. “They’re a knowledgeable staff and they’re all Toyota trained and educated. Many of them have been here for decades...our shop foreman has been with us 37 years.”

Brakes? They do it. Mufflers? Ditto. Oil and coolant changes, wiper replacements, batteries, cabin filters? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Tires? They stock every major manufacturer. Windshield replacements? They’ll get you original Toyota glass.

Indeed, says Hughes, there’s likely nothing you need that they don’t carry. It’s your one stop shop.

Moreover, every part is backed by a 40,000K, two-year warranty, honored at any Toyota dealership in Canada. Better still, prices are more reasonable than you might think. Hughes points to their $64.95 synthetic oil change as a prime example.

But Peace Arch Toyota is all about creature comforts too. Stop in for service and connect to their no-charge W-iFi or browse through local newspapers. Grab a tea or coffee, and watch the game on the TV. But don’t expect to wait too long. The mechanics at the facility’s Express Bay will complete typical small jobs like oil changes within the hour. And if it’s longer, you can get a ride home and back or rent a car on site.

And if you really want to give yourself a treat, Hughes suggests the detail shop, where they’ll cover every inch of your vehicle and make it sparkle inside and out.

The Peace Arch Toyota Service Dept is open every day but Sunday. Hours are 7-6 each day except Thursday, when they remain open ‘til 8PM. Call 604-531-2916 or head to their website at www.peacearchtoyota.com to book an appointment.

WR Mattress Gallery

wrmattress.com

Building a bedroom can be a tricky process. Between uninformed salespeople, questionable quality, and long afternoons shuffling from one store to another, it’s no wonder shoppers ultimately end up feeling frustrated and even more indecisive than when they began.

The solution? Shop local and shop smart at WR Mattress Gallery, an innovative and locally owned one-stop bedroom outfitter located right here on the peninsula.

Led by owner Raman Dhaliwal, who spent eight years in customer service before opening the business, and sales manager Mark Nagra, a 30-year mattress industry veteran and 15-year owner of M&N Mattress Shop on Vancouver Island, WR Mattress can be trusted to deliver Raman and Mark the right advice and the right product.

At the forefront of the lineup is a mattress with a real difference. It’s called the Ironman Recovery Mattress, and for good reason. Manufactured here in BC (ironmanmattress. ca), the Ironman combines latex, a natural product that’s been in existence for almost 100 years and gained much favor recently in the sleep world, with something called “celliant.”

A derivative of naturally occurring minerals that’s formed into fibers, celliant harnesses the body’s natural energy as efficiently as infrared light and has been clinically proven by nine North American universities to increase higher levels of oxygenated blood flow.

The result? Faster healing, increased performance, pain reduction, balanced body temperature and improved sleep.

The shop carries other mattress technologies too, and is the exclusive local dealer of Kingsdown double-sided mattresses. Other products include cabinet beds, adjustable beds, full bedroom suites and furniture made of alder or pine, and even massage chairs. And remember, with the exception of just a few items, everything in the store is made in BC. At WR Mattress, you can buy with confidence. The shop proudly carries an “A” rating with the Better Business Bureau, and indeed was a finalist in the People’s Pick category of the 2015 BBB lower mainland Torch Awards, the highest rating in the industry for a furniture/mattress retailer on the Mainland. Moreover, every purchase is backed by a 60-day price protection policy, and every mattress includes a 120 to 366-night comfort exchange warranty.

Hit their website at wrmattress.com or call 604-385-0112 for more information. Better still, drop by the shop in the heart of south Surrey at 2390 152 Street (corner of 152nd and 24th).

Nando’s Chicken

www.peacearchnews.com 23

www.nandos.ca

Now here is something to crow about! Nando’s flame-grilled chicken, the South African fast casual restaurant brand that is changing the way the world thinks about chicken, can be found at South Point Annex in South Surrey.

The Nando’s journey to South Surrey began in the small Johannesburg suburb of Rosettenville in South Africa in 1987. It was here that 27 yearold Robbie Brozin was invited by his good friend Fernando Duarte to a small Portuguese restaurant

Nando’s

called Chickenland to taste their flame-grilled PERiPERi chicken. It was love at first taste and they bought the restaurant. Nando’s has turned into one of the world’s leading, emerging fast casual restaurant brands, and the spirit of the humble eatery in Rosettenville still remains today.

Nando’s Flame-Grilled Chicken is the first and only South African restaurant brand to go international and capture the high streets of London, Dubai, Sydney, Toronto, and Vancouver to mention a few.

Nando’s PERi-PERi is unique to its restaurants. Based on the recipe first discovered when Portuguese sailors landed in Africa, PERi-PERi is the Swahili word for Bird’s Eye Chilli, and is the special ingredient that makes Nando’s chicken and sauces so deliciously addictive. Nando’s helps each guest choose their personal PERi flavour from our “PERi-ometer” – Lemon & Herb for beginners, Medium for those looking for a bit more heat, and Hot PERi-PERi, which has been known to evoke fiery tears of joy for serious chilli lovers.

Nando’s South Surrey showcases an evolution of design, and like all Nando’s restaurants around the world, is inspired by the Portuguese passion for life, friends, fun, and great food. We invite you to exPERience Nando’s at 101- 3010 152nd St in South Surrey at South Point Annex.

SHOP LOCAL CONTEST

Everyone knows Save On Foods White Rock is a grocery superstore. But groceries are only part of the story.

Did you know, for example, about the Save On Foods Kitchen, located within the store and ready to serve up quick and easy meal solutions throughout the day? Too busy to cook? Let the Save On Foods Kitchen do it for you.

Slow-cooked beef brisket. Ribs, smoked to perfection in Save On Foods’ own on-site smoker. Looking for a little variety? Try a different meal every night of the week from the in-store carvery - including succulent prime rib every Saturday night. Or maybe sushi Todd McMullen, made fresh for you every day.

Asst Store Mgr & For dessert, head to the bakery for store-made fudge, Jason Moloci, Store Mgr candy apples, chocolate-covered everything, or cakes made with real whipped cream. Grab a coffee - Save On Foods White Rock offers premium Kicking Horse brand java - or, for a quick snack, go for a Kitchen-made soup. Take your meal home with you or sit and enjoy it in the restaurant-style seating area. It’s clean, comfy, and friendly.

While you’re there, be sure to check out the full-service meat counter, where you’ll find amazing meal ideas, all made in-house. Handmade sausages, burger patties and meatballs, marinated kabobs and stuffed chicken or pork are all on the menu.

And over at the seafood counter, only the freshest, highest quality sustainable seafood - all caught in BC waters - is served.

But the Western Canadian-owned Save On Foods White Rock is also all about the community. To that end, it’s a proud supporter of worthy organizations such as the Elks Club, the South Surrey Food Bank, Block Watch, and the good folks at Peace Arch Hospital. It’s also involved with local schools, providing resources to help meet the needs of our youth through various fundraising initiatives. And it’s always looking for other opportunities to give back.

The White Rock location is also the first in the province to offer a dedicated cart for special needs children. It’s called “Caroline’s Cart” - a hybrid shopping cart/ wheelchair that allows parents and caregivers to transport children through the store while shopping.

Conveniently situated in the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, and now with 25-year Save On Foods veteran Jason Moloci at the helm, Save On Foods White Rock brings you the best BC has to offer, and never forgets the community it serves. Stop by, say hello to Jason and his team, and see what they have in store for you.

Longtime teammates enjoying final season of high-school hoops

‘Big Three’ leading Storm to success Nick Greenizan

I

Sports Reporter

f one were to take a poll of high-school basketball players across the province, you’d bee hard-pressed to find three players more familiar with each other than Hunter Hughes, Dominic Clayton and Mathew Andreou.

The trio – “Our Big Three,” coach Steve Anderson calls them – first played together on Southridge’s Grade 5/6 team, and have been teammates ever since.

In fact, the three of them have been together so long that they remember a time when the six-foot-eight Hughes – now one of the province’s most dominant players – was far from a monster on the court. And though he towers over most other highschool players, and is a half-foot taller now than his two teammates, it wasn’t that long ago that Clayton, not Hughes, was the big man on campus.

“Back then, in Grade 7, I was the big man,” Clayton laughed. “But then he grew.”

Hughes’ growth spurt as he hit high school coincided with improved hoops skills – something he said came as a result of practice, and plenty of it.

“I was bad – really bad – probably until about Grade 8,” Hughes said. “But I just really enjoyed playing so I kept at it, and I improved.”

While it’s hard to imagine Hughes as being a poor player, even his longtime coach admits that, back then, it wasn’t that much of a stretch.

“You know what, I don’t think Hunter was actually overstating things all that much,” Anderson laughed. “He was very, very mediocre as a player back then, but he’s probably taken one of the biggest leaps of any player I’ve actually ever seen. He’s very athletic and he’s gotten better every single year.”

Hughes has garnered a lot of the headlines this season, and rightfully so, considering some of the numbers he’s put up. For example, in the Storm’s early-season upset win at the Tsumura Invitational – in which the Storm, in their first season at the AAA level, knocked off quad-A competition – Hughes was named tournament MVP after a 42-point, 21-rebound performance in the final game.

But despite leading the team in scoring, Anderson is quick to point out it’s been the play of all three which has helped the Storm to a No. 3 overall ranking in the province.

A good example came late last month, in a game against Vancouver College, he said.

“At the beginning, they were doubleteaming Hunter – and when he got the ball, even tripling him. So Dom and Mat scored about 18 or 20 points in that first quarter, and Vancouver couldn’t do that anymore,” he explained.

“That’s what having these guys does – it keeps teams from focusing on just one guy.

“When they’re all rolling, we’re one of the best teams around.”

Andreou said their familiarity with each other has been a huge help on the court.

“It’s helpful, having played together so long. It’s all about knowing where the other guys are on the court, or what they’re going to do,” he said.

“And it’s not just the three of us. We have a really deep bench, so we have a lot of different guys who can contribute for us.”

Nick Greenizan photo

Southridge Storm seniors (left to right) Dominic Clayton, Hunter Hughes and Mat Andreou have played together since elementary school.

In addition to being a talented bunch, “It doesn’t surprise me at all. For all three they’re also one of the closest-knit teams of them, their skills are very high and their Anderson has coached. That camaraderie basketball IQs are very high. It’s easy for me comes naturally, by virtue of playing to see how they’ll translate to the college together for so long. level, and I think they all have fantastic “We consider ourselves one big basketball upside,” said Anderson, a former hoops star family, and we look out for each other,” he at Simon Fraser University. said. “That’s what makes it so cool with “I would not be at all surprised if they these three guys – they’ve been move on to become all-stars together for so long and are now ❝It’s easy for me within their conferences, no having this kind of success.” where they end up to see how they’ll matter The uniqueness of their playing.” translate to the situation is not lost on the three While Hughes is a noted college level.❞ scorer and rebounder, Clayton seniors, either.

“It’s nice just to be going to and Andreou are both lauded Steve Anderson practice, going to games every for their shooting and passing Southridge coach day with your best friends,” abilities, Anderson said.

Hughes said. “Everything else we “They all have their assets. One get out of it is just a bonus.” of the biggest things Mat does well is he With the season heading into the stretch can shoot the pull-up jump shot from that run, the Storm would love nothing more middle area – not quite taking the ball to the than to cap their inaugural AAA season with rim, but not from three-point (territory) and a provincial championship. And beyond that can be very hard to defend. that, Hughes, Clayton and Andreou all have “And Dom is very strong, very aggressive, college hoops aspirations. and one of the hardest workers I’ve ever As the season has progressed, all three have coached. I’d say his biggest asset is that received interest from university coaches. he doesn’t have to score a ton of points to

dominate a game. There’s very few people who you can say that about. It’s what sets him apart.

“One university coach told me that he hasn’t seen a player at the high-school level enjoy passing and enjoy setting guys up as much as Dom seems to.”

And though it is a possibility that all three could end up at the same university, the friends are also preparing for the idea that they could be rivals, rather than teammates, a year from now.

“I haven’t really ever gone against these guys, except in practice. Once, I played against Mat in a summer league, but that was it,” said Clayton.

But rather than worry about their college hoops futures now, the trio is instead just trying to enjoy their final season in Southridge colours, hoping to add one more banner to the gym’s walls.

“Its’ been really awesome just knowing these guys since kindergarten, and then early on, finding something in basketball that we all really love,” Clayton said.

“Now, in our final season, it’s just awesome to still be playing together.”

A pair of Peninsula rugby players were among those invited to a Rugby Canada U20 camp at the end of last month in Shawnigan Lake, with a goal of making the 26-man roster for an upcoming World Cup qualifier.

White Rock’s Matt Gallagher – a former Semiahmoo Totems’ rugby captain who now plays at the University of Victora – was among 38 taking part in the tryout camp, while another player, former Earl Marriott star Cali Martinez, was listed on the tryout roster, but was unavailable to take part due to injury.

Martinez currently plays for UBC. Those players selected for the team will travel this week to Austin, Texas for a match against the United States; the game serves as a qualifier for the U20 World Rugby Cup, planned for April 19-May 1 in Zimbabwe.

In other national rugby news, two more South Surrey players – Michael Smith and John Jubinvill – were selected last week to suit up for Canada’s U18 men’s team which will head to Ireland for a tour in late March.

Tessa’s Tourney Bronwyn Lapadula of the Holy Cross Crusaders goes up for a rebound with a Vernon Panthers opponent during a junior girls high school basketball game at Surrey Christian Middle School Friday morning. The game was one of 42 played at Tessa’s Tournament, an annual event staged in memory of Tessa Beauchamp, a former player with the Holy Cross Crusaders who died in 2012 after a lengthy battle with cancer. This year’s tournament featured 29 teams playing in three age groups. Money raised went to the Tessa Beauchamp Foundation.

Family businesses in our community drive both innovation and employment and are “vital to the development of both the prosperity and character of their communities.” Studies have shown that family businesses Ànancially outperform non-family Àrms, particularly when faced with challenging economic conditions. Because of their unique qualities, family business clients can beneÀt in dealing with advisors who recognize the advantages and challenges of the family enterprise and who can assist in creating and maintaining opportunities unique to the family business while navigating through and mitigating the risks and unique challenges family businesses face.

In June 2015, Kim Karras, managing partner at the law Àrm Brawn Karras & Sanderson, achieved her designation of Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) from the Institute of Family Enterprise Advisors.

“Family Enterprise Advisors see the whole picture in dealing with business families because they understand the nuanced and complex issues that are unique to family enterprise” (www.ifea.ca).

As a Family Enterprise Advisor, Kim integrates her own discipline (the practice of law) with those of other professionals such as accountants, bankers, insurance advisors, wealth advisors and Ànancial planners, in order to provide collaborative and complementary advice to business family clients.

With a broader perspective and skills related to the business and legal issues that families traditionally face, Kim can assist in business succession and transition planning, corporate and family governance, wills, estate and trust planning. What does your family succession business plan look like and what steps can be taken to ensure that your family business survives to the next generation and the next?

You may contact Kim Karras, B.Comm., LLB., TEP, FEA at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604-542-5344 or by email at kimkarras@bkslaw.com

Semi-Permanent Make-Up

By Sandy Permanent cosmetic i makeup k is i the h art and science of implanting colour into Syouremi skin. Sometimes you see permanent make-up referred to as “cosmetic tattooing” or “semi permanent make-up” as the result can fade over time. We use specialized sterile instruments to place hypoallergenic colour pigments into the deeper layer of the skin.

Over a 10 day period, the colour will slowly fade as it is naturally exfoliated from your skin, leaving the true colour embedded in the dermis.

BROWS Hair stroke eyebrows, otherwise known as the hair simulation technique, is a technique we use for creating the most natural brows possible. The hair stroke technique mimics your own eyebrow hair thus creating a feathering effect. This innovative technique is far more natural looking than a solid fill. If your brows are too light in colour, if you have a gap in your brows due to a scar or even if your brows are nonexistent with the help of hair stroke technique you won’t have to worry about smudging brows or reapplying throughout the day.

UPPER EYE LINER or LIP LINER Only

LIPS A lip liner procedure will line the lips and can also augment size. This will appear to increase the volume and symmetry of your lip; an illusion you would get with pencil yet only permanent. Shape and colour correction is a popular procedure for women who experience colour loss and definition with age. Both procedures have very soft and natural results and can be offered from a large spectrum of beautiful colours for lip shades and liners.
