Minor injuries after car strikes waiting vehicles

U.S. chase leads to pileup at border Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Northbound traffic at Peace Arch border crossing was disrupted Wednesday night after a vehicle being pursued by Bellingham police crashed into several other waiting vehicles. According to Whatcom County Sheriff ’s office, the pursuit began at 6:31 p.m. in the south end of Bellingham, when the vehicle was reportedly seen to be driving erratically and speeding. The chase continued north on the I5, prompt-

ing US Customs Border Protection officers to set up orange traffic barrels in the northbound lanes leading up to the Peace Arch crossing. “The driver failed to yield, and rammed through the orange construction barrels,” CBP press officer Mike Milne told Peace Arch News. “We deployed two stop sticks – a device designed to flatten car tires to get them to stop – which was successful in flattening the right front tire. He approached the queue where the cars were lined up to go through the pri-

mary processing booth and struck three civilian vehicles that were queued up in the primary. He came to a stop when he scraped into a CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency) booth.” Milne said some of the civilians whose vehicles were struck sustained minor injuries. Half of the northbound lanes at the border remained open, according to the CBSA, noting some travellers were delayed for close to an hour. A U.S. citizen was apprehended by CBSA officers and turned over to state authorities.

Civic order distresses owner

Two boats destroyed in seizure Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Two boats were among a number of items seized and destroyed Wednesday from a South Surrey property deemed “unsightly” by the city. Surrey RCMP were on hand at the 13608 20 Ave. home, as bylaw enforcement officer Alan Campbell executed the municipal order. “We’ve been dealing with this property for a number of years, this is just the latest

ongoing problem regarding garbage on the property,” Campbell told Peace Arch News. “We’ve given them notice, deadlines have expired, we’ve given extensions, they’ve expired.” The unfenced yard contained numerous household items – including couches, chairs,

bookshelves, artwork and appliances – which homeowner Lois Wickert said were on display for a garage sale this weekend. A visibly upset Wickert, who contacted Peace Arch News when removal crews arrived Wednesday morning, said she has had numerous encounters with city officials,

who she said “harass” her about the property she has owned since 1986. She said she is in the process of subdividing the lots she owns at the corner of 20 Avenue and 136 Street and that the city is aware her property is a “work in progress.” see page A4

predecessor. Why do we need the federal government to constantly propose new laws, change regulations or make our lives more difficult? Ottawa (and most federal civil servants who work there) are very remote from average Canadians. They do not understand the basic challenges that most people face, and that isn’t surprising, given the size of the country and the significant differences between regions. The federal government collects a lot of tax revenue, but it is remote from ordinary people. One of the few changes that needs to be made is to make it easier for some of that tax revenue to go to provincial and municipal governments. They are much closer to citizens, and have less taxation ability. A federal government that is more hands off towards most Canadians is probably the best type of federal government we can have. It needs to pay close attention to the matters that are clearly within its jurisdiction, such as defence, international trade, foreign affairs, unemployment insurance and the Canadian economy. The Harper Conservatives should concentrate on dealing with the matters which are truly federal, stop playing petty politics with things like the census and go about its day-to-day business with an air of quiet competence. If it does so, it may one day receive a majority of seats in Parliament. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Stephanie Cadieux to rappel down 20-storey building for charity

Fathers says no notice

Things are looking up for MLA

Photo fallout continues at city hall

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux plans to take a brief break from her office duties next month to rappel down the side of a 20-storey building in Vancouver. She will be taking the plunge as a participant in the fifth annual Easter Seals Drop Zone at AXA Place, 999 W. Hastings St. “I think it will be fun,” Cadieux said, noting she recently visited the building and didn’t think it was too high from her vantage point on the street below. “We’ll see how I feel about it when I get to the top.” Money she collects for the Sept. 14 event – she must raise a minimum of $1,500 – will benefit children and their families staying at the three Easter Seals Houses in Vancouver, Prince George and Victoria while obtaining medical treatment. ❝We’ll see how I Cadieux – whose feel about it when I spinal cord injury at age 18 left her in a get to the top.❞ wheelchair – said the MLA Stephanie Cadieux cause is one she feels Surrey-Panorama strongly about. “Those little kids are so tough and so brave and it’s really important that they have a comfortable place to stay, and their families can be with them,” she said. Funds raised will also go towards summer camps for children with disabilities in Shawnigan, Winfield and Squamish. “They’re just kids and they want to have fun like every other kid,” Cadieux said. “They should have the opportunity to do so.” The Drop Zone accommodates people with physical disabilities, and Cadieux said there are a couple of rappelling options she can explore during an upcoming training run. “We will find a way,” she said. The local politician has nearly reached her initial $1,500 collection goal, and plans to continue gathering donations over the next month. “I will not stop fundraising.” As for the tradition that sees Drop Zone participants dress up as super heroes, Cadieux said she hasn’t picked out a costume. “I’ve not decided yet whether I’m going to do that,” she laughed.

Stolen terminals result in cash-only service at bakery

Break-in linked to alleged fraud ring Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

An early morning break-in at a Peninsula bakery last weekend has been linked to a possible credit card fraud ring in Abbotsford. Shortly after 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, Roadhouse Bake Shoppe manager Lise Alexander was awoken by a phone call from her father, who had been alerted to a break-in at the family’s 1763 King George Blvd. store. Upon arriving at the store, Alexander was greeted by Surrey RCMP officers who were surveying the damage – broken bolts on the front door, which had been pried open with a crow bar, a few bakery items that had been knocked off counters and two missing point-of-sale (POS) terminals. “It looked like they just picked up the POS terminals and yanked them out, and they frayed all the wires,” Alexander said. Around 11 a.m., Alexander received a call from the Abbotsford Police, who had recovered the POS terminals – as well as 34 credit cards

Customers are advised no cards can be used. that were reported stolen – after pulling over a truck that was missing its front licence plate. A sticker on the terminal’s monitor with Roadhouse’s name and phone number on it quickly led police to the stolen property’s rightful owner. Police told Alexander that the terminals were allegedly stolen in an attempt to

obtain credit card information, but that the terminals from her store weren’t compromised. The driver of the truck was taken into custody, and police say they are investigating any possible links to other fraud-related incidents in the Fraser Valley. Surrey resident Ryan Lawrence Robert Plotnikoff, 29, appeared in Abbotsford provincial court Monday and was charged with driving while suspended, unauthorized use of credit card data, possession of stolen property and breach of probation. As of Thursday morning, the Roadhouse was still without its POS terminals – valued at about $2,000 each – and were forced to accept cashonly for purchases. Alexander said that if the case goes to trial, it could be months before they are returned, and in the meantime, her POS provider doesn’t have any spare terminals. “It is costing us some business, as a lot of customers don’t carry cash on them,” she said. -with files from Vikki Hopes

White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson wasn’t the only person taken aback by the removal of photographs of past mayors and councils from the walls at city hall last week. Coun. Helen Fathers told Peace Arch News Thursday that she was surprised to learn of the photos’ removal – and subsequent replacement – noting an email that had been sent to advise council of changes said nothing about the photos coming down in council chambers. The email, sent by the city’s communications officer last Friday, reads: “If you happen to stop by city hall, you’ll notice that there is a new council photo area in the upper lobby. It’s a work in progress – I’ll be adding name plates under each photo when I’m back. I’m also working on some ideas to improve the aesthetics elsewhere in the building without any major expense.” Ferguson had said that she was told in person by the staffer – who is on vacation this week – that the photos were going into storage. “We weren’t informed (the photos) were going to be taken down,” Fathers Helen Fathers councillor said, after reading Wednesday’s Peace Arch News article, in which Coun. Lynne Sinclair said council members were advised that the removal of photographs was just routine maintenance, and that Ferguson “should have read her email.” “We certainly didn’t receive any kind of email that said the photos were being taken down… Sinclair implied that we all knew they were coming down. Maybe she knows something that I don’t.” Phone calls to Sinclair for further comment have been unreturned since Tuesday. Ferguson had instructed city staff Monday to rehang the photos, and said any future changes would be decided by council. Fathers noted the issue is one that should “absolutely” be brought before council before a decision is made. “Why would we want to take down pictures of everybody who has been a significant part of our city? That’s just disrespectful,” she said. Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson said she doubted there were plans in place to remove the photos permanently, and she suggested that the confusion on the issue was a result of “misinterpretations.” “No one would take the photographs down except to perhaps take them down to paint the wall,” Anderson said. “Maybe they were going into storage while the maintenance work was being done.”

Complaints led to action from page A1 “We’re in a corner lot and we’re visible, so if somebody complains, they say they have to act on it,” she said. “They come out here on one complaint and it escalates to whatever they can find. Am I the only one with a garage sale around here? No.” Campbell said he had received complaints about the boats and debris from more than one neighbour, dating back several months. After being appraised by the city’s marine surveyor and assessed at no value, both boats were demolished

and disposed of this week, at a cost of $4,500 to Wickert. The majority of the garage sale items were moved from the yard into the garage, and leftover debris was taken to the dump. Despite what Campbell described as a lengthy history of neighborhood complaints about the property, this was the first time officials have had to take action, which Wickert said went too far. “To come in here and destroy private property, that’s going way above and beyond,” she said.

editorial

B.C. Liberals need more realistic budget he NDP has exposed one of the more hypocritical acts of the BC Liberal government — that of underestimating expenses, year after year, in order to “prove” the government is a good fiscal manager. The NDP is pointing the finger at the budget for fighting forest fires, which actually was reduced in 2010-11 as compared to the previous year. This is despite the fact that expenses have exceeded the budgeted amount every year since 2006. The government is already pointing out that it has exceeded the 2010-11 budget. It’s been a hot four weeks. The dry weather and pine beetle-killed forests almost guarantee there will be a number of major forest fires. But in saying that it has exceeded the budgeted amount, the government is planting the idea that even good fiscal management is overwhelmed by the weather conditions. It is not good fiscal management to budget just $51 million for forest fire suppression in 2010-11, when the amount actually spent in 2009-10 was $382 million, as compared to $61 million in the budget. This year’s budget should, at the very least, have been as big as last year’s – not $10 million less. In fact, the budget for forest fire suppression has barely changed since 2002, the first year the BC Liberals set the budget. It was $55.4 million that year. The following year, 2003, it stayed the same. That was the year the massive Barriere and Okanagan Mountain fires boosted the actual expenditures to $374 million. Yet in 2004, the budgeted amount didn’t change. In 2006, it went up slightly to $55.5 million. Now, four years later, the budget has been slashed – and expenses are already exceeding budget. There’s nothing wrong with conservative budgeting, nor is there anything wrong with going over budget on a line item where expenses are obviously dictated by weather conditions. However, the BC Liberals need to be more honest about how much it really costs to fight forest fires, and boost the budget in the coming year to a much more realistic figure.

yes 24% no 76% 98 responding Who knows? Maybe we have a pintsized Picasso on our hands. You should see the creations she makes from avocados and strained carrots. Feeling a little smug, like just maybe we were ahead of the game, we learned that our Molly was not the first baby on the waiting list – not even the second. In fact, we found out many eager parents are signing their babies up for school straight out of the womb. From that moment I began to wonder – when did parenting become such an extreme sport? And, why was I so eager to step up to bat and play the game? Nowadays, parents face such pressure to make sure their little ones are measuring up on the playground that it’s enough to make you want to avoid small talk at the swings at all costs. Heaven forbid my competitive streak ever turn me into a stage mom. While I may never be inclined to douse Molly in tanning spray, glue false eyelashes and dress her like a pageant princess, I know I’ve got to lighten up a little. On our walk home from the park, I looked down at Molly, slumped down in her buggy, sound asleep. And I realized I had to stop driving myself crazy with anxiety-causing comparisons. My daughter may not know baby sign language or play a musical instrument. She is also yet to take her first step or say her first word, but she is pretty darn special in my books. However, I also noticed the new mom ahead of me looked pretty proud of her much fancier stroller and tiny little waist… Kristyl Clark is Peace Arch News’ special sections co-ordinator.

Buzz words cloud issue Editor: Re: Air-quality issues at centre of incinerator debate, Aug. 6 column. Unfortunately, instead of providing some insight into the garbage incineration issue, Frank Bucholtz’s column just parrots the fears of the uninformed masses. At least a dozen times he uses buzz words “air pollution” and “air quality” without any definition. Is he speaking of particulates, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides... or what? Of course, any incinerator would have to meet – by actual measurements – all emission standards, which is achievable with such devices as electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers and the like. Bucholtz notes the real-world, and hence highly relevant, 20-year-old Burnaby garbage incinerator, which, he says, “does not produce a great deal of pollution” and that “most people are unaware of its existence”. But he then ignores those positives in favour of citing the never-built – and hence irrelevant – Sumas power plant SE2, and ties his “air pollution” alarmism to that project. SE2 was abandoned for political reasons and absolutely not because of being judged a source of massive air pollution, whatever form that may have taken. There are garbage incinerators in the U.S. which have been in continuous operation for some 40 years, but North American practices pale in comparison with Europe, where landfill is passé and waste incineration is becoming the meritorious choice. Note also that an incinerator will reduce the real “air pollution” spewed by trucks hauling garbage to remote landfills. David Poole, Surrey

No such thing as a ‘safe tan’ Editor: Re: Bright side to exposure to the sun, Aug. 11 letters. I’m pleased letter-writer Don Pitcairn brought up so many common disputes of the Sun Ambassadors’ message in his letter. The Canadian Cancer Society maintains there is no such thing as a “safe tan.” It is true natural sunlight increases levels of vitamin D in the skin, which help prevent other forms of cancers, heart disease, and depression. However, Dr. Erin Michos, lead investigator of a 10-year vitamin D deficiency study at John Hopkins Medical Institution, confirms “as little as 10 minutes of daily exposure to the sun can produce sufficient amounts of vitamin D to sustain health” and reduce the chances of developing many serious diseases. Since UV light penetrates cloud cover, this daily quota of sunlight can be satisfied in colder climates just by

daily activities, such as walking to your car or going to collect the mail. A base tan provides little protection and, unlike sunscreen, requires skin damage to get that protection. According to Dr. Lawrence E. Gibson, a leading dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic, a tan gives an SPF of 4 or less, which translates into a few extra minutes before a burn. His studies show any change in skin colour is a sign of damage. Statistics showing higher cancer rates in colder climates should be regarded with caution. Many hotter countries with high levels

of sunlight exposure are rates in the summer, no developing countries study has produced any in which World Health conclusive evidence.

quote of note

Do you need all these devices? Do they bring you peace and escape from alreadyexisting information overload?a Beverley Kilpatrick

The proliferation of wireless devices – and free Wi-Fi offered by Tourism White Rock on the beach – concerns some.

Strong signals in Wi-Fi debate Editor: Re: Can’t escape wireless technology, Aug. 6 letters. I have been covering as a journalist and author communications, power technology, workplace safety and transportation for the past 20 years. The Wi-Fi debate in our area resembles concerns over health risks from electric and magnetic fields (E/MF) that was in the news some 20 years ago. The trouble was that then, as now with Wi-Fi, the hard science to define what E/MF levels from electrical current can cause physiological harm – from which standards can be written and measures implemented and solutions devised – was not there. From these debates, my conclusions are these: • If those who are concerned about the health issues feel the science and regulations based on it are outdated or incorrect, their focus should be aimed at the national health agencies. This is not the matter city councils have the expertise or authority to deal with. • There needs to be perspective on Wi-Fi concerns. While the physiological effects from them are hazy, the same cannot be said from pollutants directly produced from vehicles that rumble along Marine Drive and elsewhere. Released hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur oxide and particulates from fossil fuels damage and destroy tissue, and transportation is typically responsible for one-third of all air pollutants. Ironically, it can be argued the Blue Zone Wi-Fi service reduces health dangers because it takes less energy to publish and distribute information electronically than it does to print it. A trip to any community with a paper mill will provide a surefire lesson in resulting pollutants, as do inhaling the fumes belching out of delivery trucks. There have long been trade-offs between health and safety and convenience and cost. The question becomes which ones are logical and acceptable. Brendan B. Read, White Rock Q I for one am very concerned with White Rock’s wholesale installation of Wi-Fi at the beach. I believe science is far from understanding the longterm effects of mass exposure to the radiation we are all subjected to. Are we not starting to understand that microwaves are behind the disappearance of bees? Are not the beach and all its amenities enough to draw visitors? Why doesn’t White Rock take a lead role as a radiation-free zone.

I believe that in the not too far future, people will seek havens from overexposure to continuous radiation. Harriet Quint, Surrey Q Most views expressed on the subject furnish little or no evidence other than anecdotal, personal opinion or questionable studies at best. An excellent article in the Skeptical Inquirer, www. csicop.org (search “mobile mania”), provides an objective study using current and accepted science which, in a nutshell, disclaim any linkage between electromagnetic fields and cancer. Another excellent site for unbiased information is www.emfandhealth.com I have been “exposed” to EMF all my life – 48 years and counting – and have suffered no ill effects, nor have I met someone who has. Emile Fuchs, Surrey Q My heart is saddened to read about another new service, harmful or not. If one chooses to open eyes and ears, you can really appreciate what the ocean and beach have to offer. A few examples are communication with friends, family, nature, wildlife, people watching, the wonder of children exploring, building a sandcastle, a rock sculpture, cloud animals… anything one’s imagination can conceive. I ask, do you need all these devices? Do they bring you peace and escape from already-existing information overload? Next visit, take a towel, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, beach blanket, pocket money. Play, swim, sunbathe, enjoy a new concept – peaceful relaxing without intrusion. Your spirit will thank you. Beverley Kilpatrick, White Rock Q A quick search on Google revealed a comment from University of Washington professor Henry Lai that is telling of the current situation. In 2007, he estimated that of the 2,000-3,000 studies conducted, there is a 50-50 split whether the effects of low-level radiation, similar to that of Wi-Fi, is harmful. Comparisons are documented which illustrate that sitting in a W-Fi hotspot for a year results in receiving the same dose of radio waves as making a 20-minute mobile phone call. Readers who have a concern about Wi-Fi here should do their own searches online and educate themselves. D. Purdy, Sechelt

From 1999 on, the focus shifted back to Pickton, but investigators had no excuse to conduct a search until 2002 when he was charged with weapons offences, triggering the massive search of the property. Despite graphic and horrific evidence, Cameron says the only part of the trial that “made my stomach lurch” was watching Pickton’s crack defence team relentlessly cross-examine Crown witnesses, particularly one who saw another

woman’s body hanging in the slaughterhouse. “They were just crucified by the defence. Every single thing they’d done in their lives that was illegal or embarrassing was dragged up. They were hammered again and again and again. But they stuck to their story.” Pickton maintained his innocence last week in a phone interview from prison with CTV. Cameron believes new killers could again target the desperate

and the vulnerable, noting the Downtown Eastside remains a magnet for addicts. Cameron backs the idea of a public inquiry to deliver a better sense of justice for the families and push for reforms. The tragedy for each victim began with their terrible lives before Pickton took them, she said, adding that the Downtown Eastside is “like some kind of hideous slave trade.” “They were brave,” she said of the victims. “They earned their livings. They loved their kids. They kept in touch with them. They kept in touch with their mothers, their sisters. They phoned their kids on their birthdays. They all wanted out of the life.” The family members and friends who lined up to observe every day of the trial were proof the women were loved and missed. “They were not disposable people.” Stevie Cameron is author of On The Farm: Robert William Pickton and the Tragic Story of Vancouver’s Missing Women.

Anti-HST petitioners victorious but blocked for now Jeff Nagel Black Press

The historic anti-HST petition campaign has been ruled successful but Elections BC is blocking further action until a court battle over the validity of the initiative is settled. Fight HST campaign leader Bill Vander Zalm accused the independent electoral office of stalling by refusing to take the next step of forwarding the petition and his HST-repealing legislation on to a legislative committee. That committee would then be required to either send the draft law to unravel the HST to a vote of the house or else hold a referendum in September of 2011. Vander Zalm said acting chief electoral officer Craig James advised he would take no action until the court proceedings were final and complete. “That is a complete stalling tactic which I’m sure was much encouraged by the government and the big business groups that initiated the action in the first place,” he said. “One bureaucrat says they can stop it all, they

It’s the first time after a series of failed attempts on other issues for a campaign to successfully meet the initiative requirements of B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. Although a nonbinding referendum just over a year from now on the HST is one possible outcome if the petition and draft law makes it to the legislative committtee, Vander Zalm said he would consider that a stonewalling tactic by government as well. Nothing short of a vote of the legislature by Nov. 15 to repeal the HST will satisfy petitioners and avoid recall campaigns to begin picking off government MLAs, he said. “If by November 15th, you haven’t seen the light, we’re going to put on the heat,” Vander Zalm said. Fight HST forces previously released a hit list of 24 Liberal MLAs considered most vulnerable, which included Gordon Hogg (South Surrey-White Rock). Vander Zalm said a decision on who to recall first would wait until November.

Recalling an MLA is difficult – canvassers must get the signatures of 40 per cent of registered voters in the riding within 60 days. No MLA has ever

been recalled in B.C., although one resigned just as a recall campaign wrapped up that was expected to succeed. Vander Zalm’s draft legislation aims

to end the 12 per cent HST and replace it with the old seven per cent Provincial Sales Tax and five per cent federal Goods and Services Tax.

grapes in the fall. Three hundred raspberry canes were just added to the property, she noted. Farming the land and selling its products only recently became more of a full-time endeavour for Cameron, who has been a magazine prop stylist and story producer for the last nine years. The sets she designed – many of which she assembled on her property – appeared in magazines such as Canadian House and Home, Country Living and Gardening Life. However, when the industry collapsed two years ago due to the economic downturn, she could no longer find full-time work in the

field. “A lot of the (publications) I worked for fell apart,” she said. So, she turned her attention to blueberries. Cameron tapped into her love of canning – which she became addicted to after learning from her mother-in-law – and launched a line of jams and chutneys last summer. Since developing a label and renting kitchen space in Delta, where she makes the fare once a week, the line has been picked up by a number of retailers. Cameron now looks back on the effect the recession had on her stylist job as a blessing in disguise. She said farming is less

stressful and more calming than the magazine shoots she still does part time. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard work. Missing Goat Farm, which was subdivided about 30 years ago and is now 1½ acres, has 500 blueberry bushes that are more than 50 years old. They come in two varieties, bluecrop and augustine – the latter a “mystery berry” with origins Cameron knows little about. The blueberries are in their third year of transition to organic, and are to be certified next year. Preparing them for the summer season begins in winter, when they are pruned, a task that takes about a week. The bushes are also sprayed with organic fish fertilizer five times a year, and two days are spent weedeating the field by hand. The farm stays open from July to early September, and most of its customers are regulars. “We get the same people every week,” Cameron said. “They really appreciate it and they get what we’re trying to do.” As for the farm’s name? “It’s very simple,” she said. “Our goat is missing.” Missing Goat Farm, 17318 32 Ave., is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.missinggoat.com

Probably these rights will be declared to be the same rights as married couples.

The common-law relationship can be between a man and a woman or between persons of the same sex.

A cross-Canada tour promoting a book about youth effecting social change made a stop in Crescent Beach Wednesday. About a dozen people attended the event at Seventh Heaven Bio Salon and The Upstairs Gallery, 12185 Beecher St., where readings were given from High on Life. The book is a collection of 16 narratives written by young leaders from four continents that exhibit hope, change and leadership. It was edited by change and social justice advocate Nejeed Kassam, who is known for co-founding charity End Poverty Now while attending McGill University.

According to a news release, his latest project is meant to be a catalyst for inspiring conversation and bringing people together in action towards change. The August book tour started in Vancouver this week and is to end in Toronto. Proceeds from the book benefit Networks for Change, a global organization working towards collaboration and communication between non-profit organizations. For more information, visit www. thehighonlifebook.org The book is also available for purchase online through Chapters or Amazon.

Change bumps housing rates Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Legally blind and facing a host of other medical problems, Ivor Konetzov’s rent is going up 30 per cent, due to a policy change by B.C. Housing that affects all people receiving socialassistance cheques. Most won’t notice the change, because their housing allowance is paid directly from the B.C. Ministry of Social Housing and Social Development to B.C. Housing. Konetzov and his family have a maximum allowance of $700 to cover rent and Hydro. B.C. Housing is raising the rent from his Newton three-bedroom apartment from $458 to $597. The problem is his Hydro bill reaches as high as $180 in the winter months which means he’ll be receiving a bill from Hydro for $80 during those months. Konetzov, 57, says the notice of increase comes as a surprise to him. Notice was sent to tenants earlier this year,

but because of his vision problems, he was caught unaware. B.C. Housing confirms there’s been a change in policy that increases the rent to tenants on social assistance. “Rents for all social housing tenants whose income is from welfare are increasing this year, when the tenants’ income and assets annual review takes place,” B.C. Housing wrote in an email. “This is being done to equalize social housing rents across the province to ensure tenants are charged rents in a consistent and equitable manner, while

providing rental accommodation at rates that low-income households could not otherwise obtain in the private market.” While housing allowance goes directly to B.C. Housing from the province, the increase in rent pushes the rents closer to their limits. There are approximately 10,200 social housing households in B.C. receiving welfare: 6,600 single individuals; 1,800 two-person households; 1,000 three-person households, and 800 larger households. The new base rent levels (each figure may

vary slightly depending on the tenant’s circumstances) are: • Single person rent up from $296 to $320. • Two-bedroom household rent up from $362 to $510. • Three-bedroom household rent up from $404 to $595. BC Housing recommended Konetzov get on a monthly average for his Hydro and appeal his housing allowance through the province. Konetzov has since asked for an average billing from Hydro and the monthly amount is $165, leaving him $70 short.

Award-winning musician reflects on journey Arts Reporter

Canadian singersongwriter Alfie Zappacosta (When I Fall In Love Again) knows all about fame, trends and chasing fads after some 35 years in the music business. Two Junos, an American Music Award for most popular album of 1988, and Canadian Music Publisher Association recognition as ‘best rock star’ – plus critically acclaimed stage performances as Che Guevara in Evita and Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar and a song (Overload) on the hit soundtrack of Dirty Dancing are among the highs in a career that also, he wincingly admits, includes appearing in the “worst video of 1984.” But the once reluctant frontman of Surrender will be in his comfort zone when he appears this Sunday (Aug. 15) at 1 p.m. at Washington Ave. Grill – an authentically impassioned, yet intimate performer of his own songs, and possibly some of the jazz-inflected standards he featured to great success in his 2008 album At The Church at Berkeley. Adding to the acoustic feel of Zappacosta’s own guitar accompaniment will be sidemen Claudio Vena on violin and accordion and Andrew Glover on keys. “I’ve let go of all the record companies and the management side of the business,” Zappacosta said of his current sound. “The music I’m doing now reflects what I want to do.” The At The Church at Berkeley album was not as much of a departure for him as it may have seemed to others, he said – he’s always been focused on songwriting and the project was a chance for him to deliver both his own music and some classic songs at the pitch of emotional honesty he says he always finds in front of a live audience. It was a level of

mature performance – although he found it intimidating at first. “The first time I did Evita I said ‘I’ll never do theatre again.’ I was up against guys who could do everything – from My Fair Lady to Jesus Christ Superstar – and they could dance.” But excellent reviews change his mind.

“It’s a very different gig, but I loved it,” he said. In reflective moments, Zappacosta – who fought illness to resume performing a few years ago – can look back on aspects of his life with regret, he admits. But his outlook is positive. With his two children grown and

Singer-songwriter Alfie Zappacosta comes to White Rock Aug. 15. work hard to achieve in the over-hyped demographic-driven world of ’80s rock and pop, Zappacosta acknowledges. “I bucked the system continually,” he said. “The management company was always pushing me to do what was on rock radio.” The low point – a decision he wishes now he’d resisted – was appearing in the video for We Should Be Lovers. “I was wrestling with a couple of women in Jello,” he said. “Now it seems so anti-feminist. But it was my first video and they were trying to push me into a category. But I’m not afraid to admit it was the worst video of 1984.” Becoming the front man of the Torontobased Surrender wasn’t his plan, either, he said – he was content to be a guitarist and songwriter. “I went in to do a demo of the songs for whoever was going to sing – then the manager said ‘We don’t need a singer – you’re it’. “For the first year I hid behind the microphone. I was kind of pushed into everything.” But Zappacosta – he was born an hour south of Rome, Italy, but came to Canada with his family when he was only six months old – was no stranger to being hurled into the

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Two years after not fielding a team at all, White Rock’s midget football squad has come back strong

Sports Reporter

Senior A Renegades win pair

Last summer, John Martins joked with friends that his midget football team’s roster was so small he “didn’t have enough guys to form two lines of a hockey team,” let alone field an entire 22-man football squad. Considering that a year before, the White Rock-South Surrey Titans organization didn’t have enough players to field a midget team at all, the low turnout was not especially surprising. And in the end, Martins’ squad wrangled enough players – 22 exactly – to put a team on the field. “We took players from wherever we could get them. Some guys hadn’t played in a few years, other guys had been cut from other teams, some guys had never played before at all,” Martins explained of his ‘09 team. “At one of our practices, I asked anybody who played midget the year before to raise their hand, and only one hand went up. Then I said, ‘OK, how about two years ago?’ and still, there were only a few.” Perhaps as could be expected with such a rag-tag bunch, the Titans struggled throughout the first half of the schedule, losing their first five games before rattling off six straight wins to finish the season above .500, with a 6-5 mark. And now, a year removed from the team’s rebirth, interest in football among midget-aged players – 16 to 18 years old – is again on the rise. At tryout camps this month, Martins has routinely had upward of 40 players on the field, and having a much-fuller roster by the time the season begins on Labour Day weekend is almost a surety. “It’s been quite interesting this year, seeing all the guys coming out,” Martins said. “I think a lot of it is just through word of mouth – guys talking and convincing others to come out and play. And we also had a big group of bantam players last year, so a lot of them have come up and added a lot of young guys to our team this year.”

The White Rock Renegades opened with a pair of victories at Senior Women’s Canadian Fastpitch Championships in Kitchener, Ont. Wednesday, while their younger counterparts, the Renegades ‘96, lost twice on the first day of peewee nationals in Montreal. The two teams are the final two ‘Gades squads with a chance at a national crown. Last weekend, the Renegades ‘91 defended its national midget title in New Brunswick, while the association’s 1994-born team finished in the top four at bantam nationals in Victoria. The senior squad, coached by longtime Renegades coach Bryan Sask, began nationals with a high-scoring 15-12 victory over the host Kitchener Coyotes. White Rock had three hits in the top of the first inning, but no runs, and then Kitchener put the Renegades on the ropes early, scoring six runs on five hits in the bottom of the first inning. In the second, the hosts continued the onslaught, and led 11-2 heading into the third inning. The Renegades battled back late, plating four runs in the third, five in the fifth and four more in the decisive seventh inning. In their second game, the Renegades improved to 2-0 with a 7-5 win over Manitoba Smitty’s. As opposed to the first game, which required a comeback, White Rock led the second tilt early – 4-2 after three innings – and then withstood a three-run inning from the Manitobans in the top of the seventh to win. Games continued Thursday after press deadlines. At peewee nationals, the Renegades ‘96 struggled Wednesday, losing their opening game 3-1 to the Mississauga Tigers – Ontario’s top team – before falling 5-3 to the Richmond Islanders. Both tournaments wrap up Sunday. - Nick Greenizan

Titans have strength in numbers Nick Greenizan

Last year, the Titans’ midgets had 22 players, including Christien Pedersen (above). Now, they have 40-plus. The veteran football coach, who coached the White Rock midgets in the mid-1990s before moving on to positions with the Surrey Rams (now Big Kahuna Rams) and with Cloverdale minor football, said he’s most impressed not only with the increase in numbers, but in many players’ improvement over the course of the year. “We’ve seen a lot of big progress from a lot of guys, which is great. It’s nice to see,” he said. The Titans’ coaching staff for the coming season is also as impressive

as any other midget team’s in the Lower Mainland. In fact, Martins said, it may even rival some junior clubs. In addition to Martins, his son, Avery, is on the midget team’s staff, as is former Surrey Ram receiver Brad Coutts – a UBC Thunderbirds alum who was a 2000 draft pick of the Toronto Argonauts – and former White Rock Titans quarterback Doug Goldsby. Goldsby, now a safety, is currently on the B.C. Lions’ practice roster. “It’s funny, a while ago (Big

Kahuna Rams’ defensive backs coach) Will Loftus saw us at practice and said to me, ‘Jeez, it looks like a junior team’s staff out there,’” Martins said. “It’s a really good group of guys we’ve got here. It’s good for the program.” Though the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s regular season doesn’t begin until Labour Day weekend, the Titans will play an exhibition tournament in Surrey Aug. 29 to prepare for the season.

Extreme Clothing Since opening its doors at Grandview Corners last fall, Extreme Clothing has quickly become a popular hot spot for surf, skate and snowboard apparel. With fashion and accessories that appeal to laid-back trend setting men, women and youth, the store carries a large selection of hoodies, t-shirts, jackets, jeans and shoes, as well as some of the most popular brands, including Volcom, Roxy, Quicksilver, Hurley, Fox, RDS, Element, etnies, DC and Billabong, just to name a few. Recently, the store expanded its line to cater to boys eight Chris & Erin Davidson and over. Owners Erin and Chris Davidson recently returned from another trip to Los Angeles, where they scouted out some of the latest trends for the quickly-approaching fall season – so you can go back to school and the slopes in style. While it can be hard to think about autumn in the midst of the dog days of summer, there are some hot new trends to fall head over board for. This fall is all about the military prints and plaid – top-to-bottom denim is especially going to be popular, from shirts and skirts to vests and pants. Skinny legged jeans will continue to be a hot item this fall. And what’s the number one must-have for back-to-school 2010? Jeggings. Girls of all ages will be rocking the latest craze, which is a hybrid of jeans and leggings. Pair with a tunic, long tank and coordinating vest and you’ll be ready to rock the hallway and the runway. Extreme urges back to school shoppers to keep a close eye on weekly fall promotions. Currently, trendy tees are on sale – two for $29. Not ready to bid farewell to summer quite yet? Check out the hot summer sales on now. Must-have items like tanks, shorts and bikinis are on sale up to 60 per cent off. Owners Chris and Erin Davidson have been riding the surfer/skate and snowboard fashion wave for more than 15 years – a passion that sparked while living and breathing the lifestyle in various surf communities throughout California. The store in the exciting Grandview Corners village is the ﬁrst of the 17 Extreme locations across B.C. and Alberta that’s not in an indoor mall setting.Chris and Erin say this allows the store, which is bigger than most mall locations, to branch out a little bit and explore different avenues of fashion and apparel that you may not ﬁnd elsewhere. Living in the community with their two children also makes it rewarding to be able to run a local business, and Erin says they enjoy seeing familiar faces coming into thestore. In addition to a large selection of the latest brand names and fashions, it’s the store’s customer service that makes Extreme Clothing a favourite shopping destination. “It’s something that has always set us apart because our staff love what they do and the clothes we sell,” says Erin. “They don’t just work at the store, they are buying the clothes straight out of the boxes. They are really into this fashion and are very knowledgeable about our brands.”

South Point Dental You are never too young or too old to have a beautiful, radiant smile. Provided you look after your teeth and gums, they will look great and stay healthy for life. While healthy oral hygiene habits start at home, regular professional dental check-ups are an absolute must. With a dedication to your oral health, the dentists and staff at South Point Dental Centre and their wide range of dental services will help you keep your smile Dr. Edmund Wong looking its very best. Dr. Edmund Wong, a local resident and proud father of two, opened the Peninsula practice more than nine years ago, offering a friendly, warm atmosphere and dental services that reach far beyond basic dentistry. With three dentists on staff, patients at South Point Dental are given the option of whether they’d like to see a male or a female dentist. For patients who are apprehensive about visiting the dentist, South Point Dental Centre offers sedation dentistry – a technique which allows individuals to be relaxed throughout their visit, and receive the care they need with a stress-free experience – no matter how simple or complex the procedure. If you’re self-conscious about your smile because your teeth are not as white as they used to be, South Point Dental can help give you reason to smile again. The clinic offers Pola whitening – a fast, safe and effective way to brighten your smile. The treatment is one of the fastest in-office whitening systems available today, and the neutral pH bleach that’s used, combined with the short amount of time it’s on your teeth, reduces sensitivity. Another popular cosmetic service available at South Point Dental Centre is Invisalign – an alternative to metal braces for those who want to straighten their teeth and improve their smile. Not only is Invisalign nearly invisible, but it’s also removable, so you can brush, floss, eat and drink as normal while in treatment, and no metal brackets or wires mean your mouth won’t be in pain. You can also view a virtual treatment plan ahead of time, to see what your teeth will look like when your Invisalign treatment is complete. Laura, office manager of South Point Dental, invites anyone looking for a new dentist to make an appointment for a complimentary meet and greet. “Feeling comfortable plays a significant role in dental care, which is why we encourage prospective patients to come in and meet our three dentists: Dr. Wong, Dr. Alaleh Moazami and Dr. Angie Lohachitranont, as well as the rest of our friendly, professional staff,” she says.

Zig Zag For more than 15 years, Zig Zag Fashion Boutique has been a popular hotspot for fashionistas. The one-stop-shop offers a diverse selection for women, including trend-setting clothes, shoes and accessories. All it takes is one visit to Zig Zag, located in Peninsula Village, to see why it’s a favourite fashion hot spot women in White Rock/South Surrey. The knowledgeable and friendly staff take pride in helping customers find the look that suits them perfectly. “It’s a really fun place to shop and an especially fun place to work,” says Kerry, a long-time manager of the boutique. Kerry “You can come in here and buy your entire outfit from top to bottom. We are always happy to help you coordinate the pieces.” The store’s wide scope of brand name merchandise is another aspect that makes it one of the best places to shop in town. With denim brands including Not Your Daughter’s Jeans and Jag Jeans, and shoe brands including Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, 9 West, Fly London, and even MBT and Blundstone for men and women, it’s no surprise residents are ditching plans to cross the border and instead are staying home to satisfy their fashion needs. And the loyalty between Zig Zag staff and customers goes both ways. The store offers a unique discount program that rewards customers with points on every purchase of regular-priced merchandise. When a customer reaches 500 points, they receive a $50 gift card to spend in the store. If it’s your birthday, make sure you take time to visit Zig Zag, as the store offers a 25 per cent discount to help you celebrate your big day. As the sun begins to set on summer, the staff at Zig Zag have been busy getting ready for an exciting season of fashion. For fall, Kerry says footwear is feminine and flirty. “We’ve received a big shipment of flats with lots of embellishments such as studs, delicate bows and ruffles. There is quite a few different styles to choose from to compliment your personal style.” Perhaps the biggest trend for fashionistas wanting to put their best foot forward is the overthe-knee and thigh-high riding boots, which Kerry says have been already flying off the shelves. “We’ve sold out completely already, but should be getting another shipment in soon. These boots should definitely be a staple in every women’s wardrobe this fall.” When it comes to clothes, one would be hard-pressed to find a better selection than Zig Zag. While we may still be in the dog days of summer, fashion is moving forward into autumn with lots of pieces one can use for layering. From the popular boyfriend jacket and sheer, light weight fabrics in dusky blues, mauves and neutrals to outrageously cool animal-print accessories, there’s certainly plenty of new trends to fall for. For those no ready to bid farewell to summer fashion, check out the end of summer sale at Zig Zag Fashion Boutique for discounts as high as 50 per cent. Whatever style or trend you seek, the staff at Zig Zag Fashion Boutique will help you find the perfect look so you can step out feeling and looking your very best.

Peace Arch Toyota

Peace Arch Toyota has been proudly serving the White Rock and South Surrey area since 1966 with a dedication to customer satisfaction. As the largest car dealership in the community, Peace Arch Toyota offers a vast selection of new and preowned vehicles, and finding the perfect match to fit a customer’s needs is an essential part of their business. It’s no wonder Bob Greywal is proud to call the fullBob Grewal service dealership his place of work. After four years at Peace Arch Toyota, Bob couldn’t be happier with his job as lease manager. The father of four has helped countless customers purchase their dream vehicles and ride away in style. For Bob, being able to put together a challenging deal is one of the most rewarding aspects of his job. “When someone who doesn’t think he or she will be able to get a deal and I am able to get them one ... it’s just a great feeling. They are so happy to be able to own a brand new car.” The team at Peace Arch Toyota goes above and beyond other service departments. Customers can take advantage of a customer shuttle service and enjoy a complementary car wash. Also, seniors enjoy a 10 per cent discount. Bob said his clients and co-workers are some of the friendliest he’s encountered, and he’s delighted to be contributing to the dealership’s great reputation for taking the time to really get to know their customers. “There really aren’t any challenges here because we sell the best product and our employees are all friendly, educated people who love their job and enjoy helping others.” In addition to being part of a great team of professionals, Bob is also proud of Peace Arch Toyota’s latest product – Oil for Life. Exclusive to the Peninsula dealership, customers can purchase an oil change certificate for $399, which allows them to receive oil changes for life. “It’s been a huge hit,” he says. “Once you pay for the certificate, you never have to pay again. That’s a significant savings you won’t find anywhere else.” In his spare time, Bob enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. He also loves to head out in his Toyota RAV4 and for the soccer field where he plays as well as coaches in his hometown of Ladner. Bob looks forward to a bright future with Peace Arch Toyota and invites the public to drop by to say hello and check out some of the latest models on the showroom floor.

White Rock Players’ Club 66t presents SEASOh N

White Rock Players’ Club From gut-busting silliness to edge-of-your-seat suspense, the White Rock Players’ Club continues to entertain and dazzle theatre fans from all over the Peninsula and beyond. Dave Baron, president of White Rock Players’ Club, says this year is no exception. “We are still going very strong and continue to offer affordable theatre to our community in our 66th season, with the theme Secrets & Silliness.” Hot on the heels of the club’s most recent production, No Sex Please, We’re British! – directed by Ellie King the club Dave Baron is gearing up for the contemporary play, Dead Man’s Cell Phone. The play, running Oct. 6 to 23, tells the tale of a woman at a cafe who answers a stranger’s cellphone and is catapulted into his world after learning he has died from a heart attack. Described as a tragicomic-thriller, Baron is sure the thought-provoking production will be a huge hit. “It’s a fascinating modern play that addresses the plusses and minuses of modern technology,” he says of the plot that takes surprising turns and leaps. And it’s not too early to start thinking about the winter holidays, according to White Rock Players’ Club, which has begun the audition process for its annual pantomime. This year’s panto, which runs from Nov. 25 to Dec. 26, will be an update of Charlotte Johnson’s Robinson Crusoe, directed by Katherine Bethell. Baron said the club is looking for actors of all ages, all skill levels and all sizes for this theatrical musical comedy, and the age range for participants is eight years to 80. Auditions will be held at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., Sunday, Aug. 15 (noon to 5 p.m.), Sunday Aug. 29 (noon to 5 p.m.) and Monday, Aug. 30 (7 to 10 p.m.) Also returning to the Coast Capital Playhouse stage is the 9th annual Flamenco del Mar Festival on Friday, Sept. 3 and Sat. Sept. 4. This cultural event, created by artistic director and dancer Jill Tunbridge, has become a tradition on the Peninsula. Dancers from the local Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Studio will perform with guest artists from the Vancouver flamenco community. Tickets: $20 in advance and $25 at the door. With this great fall lineup, you won’t want to miss out on season tickets, which are now on sale. For the low price of $60 ($50 for seniors, students and Coast Capital members), you’ll have access to four shows in the regular season, plus first dibs on pantomime tickets at Christmas. The club is currently in the process of implementing an online ticketing system for patrons, which would allow them to skip the box office and order as well as pay for tickets from their home computer. While ticket sales continue to be successful, Baron says the club is always looking for volunteers to help out with everything from set decoration to make-up and lighting. “We are a financially self sufficient club that relies heavily on volunteers,” he says. “It’s an awful lot of work and can be a big time commitment, but it gives you so much more back than you put in. And volunteer organizations like ours make the community better for everyone”. Check out the club’s website for more information about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities and audition dates and times at www.whiterockplayers.ca

GoldKey Volkswagen With a commitment to putting the customer first, a state of the art showroom and top-of-the line automotive services, it’s no wonder GoldKey Volkswagen has earned a reputation as being the best bet for VW automotive services on the Peninsula. It has also earned them the title as #1 in Volkswagen customer service in the province for the Peter Saieva past three years, in addition to the Wolfsburg Crest award – a national honour recognizing best all around dealerships – for the past two years in a row. This year, GoldKey is celebrating another huge accolade – the dealership was awarded the Gold Pin from Volkswagen in Germany, which recognizes GoldKey as one of the best operating Volkswagen dealerships in the world. While GoldKey’s stellar customer service record sets them apart from the competition, operations manager Peter Saieva said the staff and management take great pride in providing nothing but the best for their customers. “Even though we have doubled in size over the past three years, we don’t treat people like numbers, he said. “We try and make sure everyone’s experience at our dealership is the best it can be.” One way GoldKey ensures every customer leaves with a smile is by offering competitive pricing for maintenance and repairs in their state-of-the-art facility at 2092 152 St., something a lot of people don’t think is possible at a dealer service centre. “Most people think dealers are expensive to maintain their Volkswagens,” Peter said. “A lot of our customers are finding out that we’re not.” In addition to providing efficient and quality vehicle care from factory-trained technicians, GoldKey also keeps a large inventory or manufacturer-recommended parts in stock, which can be easily ordered on their website. Offering fair prices and top-quality service to their customers is just one way GoldKey is unique in the industry – a commitment to supporting the White Rock / South Surrey community is another aspect that sets them apart. And the support goes both ways – after 10 years of loyalty from local Volkswagen customers, Peter and the staff GoldKey Volkswagen would like to express their gratitude for being able to work in such a great community. “We have the best Volkswagen customers in B.C.,” Peter said. “We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them. We would like to thank them for their support and for making us number one.”

Your Gold, Our Molds

Natalia Jewellers Natalia Jewellers opened the doors of its new Morgan Crossing location last June, offering a larger showroom and vast selection of exquisite jewellery. Having more space has allowed for an expanded inventory of watches, gemstones, and their new paramount, Canadian Maple Leaf Diamonds. Owners John and Araxy see every customer as being their most important, whether they need a watch battery replaced or are looking for a diamond engagement ring. Isabel being handed With a lifetime of experience in the jewellery industry, the the diamond studs couple offers insightful advice on repairs, custom work or the huge selection of merchandise in the store, which is continually growing. At the same time as the move, John and Araxy welcomed a new member to their team; their son Corey. With more than 11 years of experience, most recently managing the only Canadian Maple Leaf Diamond jewellery manufacturing facility in the Lower Mainland, Corey brings with him the most modern and advanced technology in jewellery making as well as his superior connections to the Canadian Maple leaf diamond mine. These two key assets have contributed significantly in redefining Natalia Jewellers as a high-end jewellery retailer and manufacturer offering extremely competitive prices on Canadian diamonds. Natalia Jewellers has become the forefront for custom-designed jewellery within its area, having a fully operating, technologically advanced factory on premises. With the use of computer animated design software, Natalia Jewellers can design or redesign a ring exactly to a customer’s specification. The digital process allows customers to be heavily involved in the design process, making small changes such as adding different types of stones, and seeing on the computer in 3D what the final result will look like. This technology is revolutionizing the jewelry industry and Natalia Jewellers is proud to offer this service to its customers. Natalia Jewellers now also manufactures much of their own designs in house; meaning lower retail prices for their customers and individuality and uniqueness of their merchandise. Having over five thousand jewellery design models, Natalia Jewellers is able to remodel a customers’ outdated piece of jewellery by unsetting the gems, melting customer’s gold, recasting and reseting their gems back, thus making a ‘brand new’ piece of jewellery, based on the customer’s choice of model. While the transition to the new Morgan Crossing location has meant an exquisitely redesigned store and a vast selection of unique, high-end pieces; the one thing that has not changed is the friendly, knowledgeable customer service that Natalia Jewellers is known for. Last week, Natalia Jewellers announced the grand prize winner in their contest for a pair of diamond stud earrings– Isabel Stewrer. Corey said the local resident was thrilled to pick up the pair of earrings, which has an estimated replacement value of over $5000. “She was pretty happy. She said she was going to give them to her mother as a gift.” John, Corey and Araxy look forward to serving you on your next purchase of a diamond ring, watch or any jewellery. Come on by and visit their new location. They will exceed your expectations.

Elegante Celebrating their 25th anniversary of business in the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Elegante continues to be a favourite hotspot for fashionable, high quality footwear and accessories. As the oldest footwear store on the Peninsula, Elegante offers an international selection of the ultimate in shoe shopping for both men and women of all ages. Drew and Scott Robb And with decades of experience in the footwear industry, you can be sure that the staff is not only extremely knowledgeable, but committed to much more than just making sales. This commitment to the customer is an important cornerstone of running a business, according to manager Scott Robb. “When you come into a store that’s run by the people who own it, there’s a vested interest,” says Scott who has decades of experience in the footwear industry. Elegante’s sales team go the extra mile to make sure customers always leave satisfied with their purchase. “You can walk into any shoe store and buy a pair of shoes, but we want our customers to have a different experience,” says Scott. “We make sure you are fitted properly.” With September just around the corner, you’ll want to head over to Elegante and check out some of the latest fashion footwear trends for the fall. According to Scott, this season boots will continue to be a hot fall item – the trend will be for flatter thigh-high boots, and not a lot of high heels. Also, watch out for sheep skin lining and distressed leather in both shoes and boots. And while Elegante always keeps it’s thumb on the pulse of fashion, the store is best known for carrying timeless, high quality footwear. “We don’t really go for what’s super trendy at the moment because we aren’t really interested in what’s going on today and gone tomorrow,” says Scott. “We are about classical styles and always have been.” For a wide selection of high-quality footwear and the best customer service around, visit Elegante Shoes and see why they’ve been voted #1 for footwear on the Peninsula several times.
