Power leaks found in Surrey, Delta, Vancouver

Scan of streetlights leads to shocking discovery Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A number of streetlights in Surrey carry unwanted charges of electricity that could harm humans or animals. New Jersey firm Power Survey Company (PSC) drove through Surrey on its way to Vancouver to check power leaks in that city. The firm was invited to Vancou-

ver by an animal-rights activist after a bull mastiff was shocked in Vancouver’s Woodland Park. During about a half-hour scan last weekend, the company found a number of electrically charged street lamps in Surrey and a couple in Delta. “We found 14 to 15 findings in Surrey – structures that are unintentionally energized on the sur-

face,” PSC president Tom Catanese told Black Press Wednesday. While those structures could include a piece of energized concrete or a manhole cover, the majority of them were street lights. “I don’t think we were on more than one or two streets in Surrey,” Catanese said. “I can’t imagine it was more than half an hour to an hour, tops.”

While most of the unwanted electricity found locally was of a lower voltage than in Vancouver, Catanese said he found some in the “30-40-50” volt range in this area. “Forty volts can kill you, and we may have stuff at that threshold,” he said. “We found some greatly more egregious stuff in Vancouver, but we spent a great deal more time there as well.”

On one street lamp in Vancouver, the company found more than 200 volts charging through the exterior of a lamp standard. Vince Lalonde, Surrey’s general manager of engineering, was intrigued by the findings of Catanese and said he will be in contact with him. “We’re more than interested to see page A4

members in North Vancouver nominated controversial columnist Doug Collins as their candidate, and it was only because party leader Preston Manning intervened that he did not contest the 1993 election. Harper has consolidated a great deal of power into his office. Some of this may have been seen as necessary in a minority-government situation, but that power should never extend to giving MPs immunity from a nomination challenge. History shows that such abuses of power will be eventually corrected by voters, if the party apparatus and leader do not listen. The whole premise behind Reform was that the Mulroney government was not listening to its contingent of western MPs, and was too captivated by catering to Quebec. Whether or not that was true, enough people believed it that the PCs were wiped out in western Canada in the 1993 election. Harper is trying to build the Conservative party into a “natural governing party,” taking advantage of continued weakness in Liberal ranks. He has every right to do so, but he must not forget that individual party members in each riding need to have the ability to select the person they think will best serve the constituency. The only way to do that is through an open, transparent and democratic selection of the candidate at a nomination meeting. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

news Leadership candidates sidestep coalition’s poll

Lack of interest frustrates pesticide foes Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Few candidates with their sights set on leading B.C. appear interested in supporting a ban on chemical pesticides. That’s the feeling of Surrey White Rock Pesticide-Free Coalition member Mel Tomiyama, after just three of nine politicians responded to a question on the issue. “We sent it by email and we gave them over two weeks, and then we sent it again,” Tomiyama said. “We are disappointed with the response.” Tomiyama, a South Surrey resident who co-chairs the coalition’s research and education team, said candidates were given until Feb. 9 to respond to the question: “Would

Such

bylaws now exist in more than 170 municipalities across Canada, including Surrey and White Rock. Tomiyama cited a 2009-10 consultation that found 88 per cent of respondents in favour of provincial legislation banning chemical pesticides and a motion made in that regard at the 2008 UBCM as evidence that citizens want government to take action on the issue. But the province – along with the majority of those who want to lead it into the future – has yet to step up, Tomiyama said. “This is, to me, such a no-brainer,” she said. “B.C. people want this. Three-quarters of British Columbians want it, so I don’t really understand what the problem is.”

Stilwell, Mayne now out, leaving four-horse race

Abbott, Falcon pick up support in final stretch Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The race to replace Premier Gordon Campbell entered the home stretch this week, as long-shot candidates Moira Stilwell and Ed Mayne withdrew and endorsed George Abbott for the BC Liberal leadership. At the same time, rival candidate Kevin Falcon picked up two previously uncommitted cabinet ministers, Science and Universities Minister Ida Chong and Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. Falcon and Abbott have attracted the support of most of the current BC Liberal MLAs between them. Stilwell is the 19th MLA to endorse Abbott, and Chong and MacDiarmid bring Falcon’s caucus support to 18 MLAs. Chong said Wednesday that she waited until after the failed effort to recall her as MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head before making her decision.

Falcon, a South Surrey resident, “is the candidate best able to continue to build on the strong coalition we have across British Columbia, and that’s really important for 2013,” Chong said, referring to the scheduled date of the next B.C. election. MacDiarmid – a family doctor before entering politics in 2009 – said she was impressed with Falcon’s decision as health minister to introduce patient-focused funding for hospitals. Stilwell, another doctor recruited by Campbell to run for a seat in Vancouver, said she knew when she entered the leadership race that she didn’t have the profile to win. She is supporting Abbott because she believes he can reform the health-care system, but “most importantly” because he has a collaborative leadership style the BC Liberal Party needs. “I believe that (Abbott) has the best chance of holding the party united and defeating the NDP in 2013,” Stilwell said Wednesday.

The next day, Mayne abandoned his bid for the BC Liberal leadership. A late entry into the contest and a political unknown outside his home town, the former Parksville mayor said he understood from the beginning he didn’t have the money or organiza- George Abbott tion to win the top job. “We knew first off that we wouldn’t have the depth of pockets necessary to get our message out,” Mayne said. “We couldn’t hire the public-relations firms and the media people that are necessary to do this, so we did the best we could with what we had.” Abbott, Stilwell and other MLAs supporting the Abbott campaign offered Mayne a warm welcome. Mayne said he is interested in seeking a BC Liberal nomination for the next election, and his increased profile

should help him. The Parksville-Qualicum seat is currently held by BC Liberal Ron Cantelon. Mayne described Abbott as “a fellow small-town guy” who offers the best chance for the BC Liberals to remain united and win Kevin Falcon the next election. Abbott said he values Mayne’s business experience as a former vice-president of Tim Hortons restaurants, and Mayne’s campaign commitment to address poverty. The withdrawal of Mayne and Stilwell leaves four candidates in the race to succeed Premier Gordon Campbell: Abbott, Falcon, Mike de Jong and Christy Clark. Nearly 90,000 party members are to vote by phone and Internet on Feb. 26, with the winner sworn in as premier in early March.

Staub says that when he asked for Hiebert’s support in an application he was submitting to the federal government, he was told by Hiebert that “he would deliver it personally to the responsible minster with his recommendation, and later learned he did not do so. “That’s simply a lack of integrity,” Staub writes. “He and his advisers (employ) a spin that shows little evidence that he gives a hoot about the concerns of our citizens. In my many years in public life I have observed a few politicians who give politics a bad name, and it’s my firm opinion that our MP appears to fit in that category.” Staub also predicts that if Hiebert runs in the next federal election, the Conservative Party will lose the district, in spite of a success record of 25 years.

While mainly animals get harmed by unintentionally charged street lamps, people have been hurt as well. “There’s been a number of human fatalities,” Catanese said. “I had a call this morning from some parents from Baltimore who had lost their daughter just a couple of years back. In Florida, I know in the past couple of years, there were two kids killed walking through a puddle next to an energized street light with 100

In terms of voltage level, it’s about the highest we’ve ever seen.”

Province has plenty of fiscal challenges ahead s the Liberal leadership race gets down to its final days, and the new premier of B.C. is selected by party members, B.C. residents should take some time to contemplate the provincial budget, which was released on Tuesday to a collective yawn. As expected, it contained virtually no new initiatives, as there is no active government in place right now. Premier Gordon Campbell is in his final days as caretaker; the cabinet ministers who are still working are doing routine tasks; and the direction the government takes will be determined by the new leader, and by public reaction to that leader. However, despite the lacklustre budget, there are a few noteworthy points. One is that government debt is rising at a breathtaking rate, with very little of that debt actually due to the current deficit. Most of it, in fact, is for capital projects, with much of that for BC Hydro. The debt could be close to $60 billion by 2013. When the BC Liberals were first elected in 2001, the debt was around $34 billion, and it didn’t move much past that figure until 2007, when the government started throwing a lot of money around – perhaps encouraged by the booming economy of the day. There is another point to take note of, too. Finance Minister Colin Hansen took pains to point out expected growing revenue from the HST. Revenue is expected to be $4.2 billion in 2010-11 (including PST revenue) and rise to $6.5 billion by 2013-14. But there is no guarantee the HST will survive a referendum vote which is scheduled for September, but may be moved up to June. The old PST, if reinstated, would not bring in as much revenue because it does not apply to as many items. One leadership candidate, Kevin Falcon, has proposed cutting the HST rate to 10 per cent. And if the referendum gets rid of the HST, the province has to pay $1.6 billion back to Ottawa. In other words, this budget has a great deal of uncertainty associated with it, and despite all the political song and dance routines we are hearing, B.C. has many major fiscal challenges ahead of it.

My daughter? “He looks like a retired clown!” she cried as Dylan came strutting out, parting the Avett Brothers and Mumford and Sons like a musical Moses as he grinned his way to the mic. I looked at Dylan more closely and she was right. Dylan sang and he was hoarse and coarse and his voice was as gritty and growly as old tires on a gravel road. In other words — perfect. “How do you like his voice?” I asked. “It’s old,” she says. “He sounds like Krusty the Clown from The Simpsons!” I paused and listened a bit more. He did sound a bit like the cartoon clown. Then, there was a singer from Canada named Drake (that’s me asking “Who?”) up for an award. He, like every other nominee, lost to Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now, the one song among all that has bridged the generation gap, in that incessant radio play on all genres has dad and daughter praying to God never to hear it again.

Dear daughter has no idea what lame dad is rambling on about and mentions, with a giggle, that Drake’s real name is Aubrey. Mick Jagger then came sashaying across the stage, looking and sounding as fantastic as ever. “Is he Kesha’s father?” my daughter asked. “That’s the rumour.” I’m still wondering what a Kesha is.

Height talk disturbing Editor: Re: Public asked for input on Marine Driver property, Jan. 26. I would like to comment on the open house which took place on Monday, Jan. 31. The purpose was to get feedback from residents on the proposed building development for the muffler shop site on Marine Drive and Oxford Street in White Rock. First I would like to commend architect Tim Ankenman for including residents in the early stages of the this project

development. Having said this, however, I found the building proposals disturbing and the process leaving me with many questions. The building proposals for the site ranged from four to 15 storeys. Four stories would be higher than the existing townhomes facing and at the back of Marine Drive. A 12-storey structure would essentially be a highrise at the beach! Would this be in keeping with the present height restrictions? Is this respectful of the tolerance of residents concerning view obstruction or in keeping with the history and ambiance of White Rock? I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that White Rock is more of a seaside,

artsy village, as opposed to an urban centre on the water. Also, the higher the building, the greater the population density with the implications of radically increased traffic and parking issues – all this on a corner that is already taxed a number of months during the year. Good development does not have to be high density. An example is the well-built lowrise townhomes on the Dundarave waterfront in West Vancouver. The beach belongs to everyone. This development impacts not only local residents but the community at large. What do people want White Rock to become? Being new to the area, there may well be a community plan in place

which I’m unaware of. But it was a surprise to me that a developer could even propose a 15-storey building on this site. Could a developer make a similar proposal on any location in White Rock? If there’s a community plan in place, would you kindly print it in the Peace Arch News again in light of these recent developments? If there’s no community plan in place I would hope that one can be developed with the community in dialogue with city hall, the mayor and council prior to serious development taking place. Rose Marie De Paoli, White Rock Editor’s note: The land is currently zoned for three storeys (11.3 metres). The Official Community Plan is online at www.city.whiterock.bc.ca

quote of note

It boldly claims to be about tree preservation. It uses the concept of view preservation as one of its main criteria.a Barry Belec

Silly season Editor: Re: Council has ‘obligation to preserve ocean views,’ Jan. 28. Council has absolutely no obligation to preserve views – not of the ocean, the mountains or anything else – by cutting down trees on public property. This is about as blatant a job of vote counting as you will ever see. Trees on boulevards have the same status as trees in parks. They are in the public domain and should be preserved to the greatest possible degree. Sure, people get antsy about their views, understandably so. Before White Rock’s new tree bylaw, people had the option of getting trees on the public road allowance trimmed, topped or thinned using the services of a qualified arbourist, at their own expense. The trick was you had to get some buy-in from your neighbours first. But, to allow trees that were not diseased or a public hazard to be taken down – never! In this case, council was dealing with a couple of relatively small trees that amount to not much more than a privacy screen and probably have to be topped regularly to stop them from growing into hydro wires. Having OK’d their removal, how is this council going to cope with the requests that are sure to follow, now that the floodgates are open? Adding insult to injury is the suggestion from Coun. Doug McLean that the taxpayers should pay for some of the cost. Where did that come from? Since when has public money been paid out to improve an individual’s view? All municipalities experience what is called the “silly season” in the months leading up to an election. During this period, the decisions made by the politicians grow increasingly erratic as their desire to win votes trumps any decision-making based on principles, values or common sense. The less confident a council is about getting re-elected – and the more politicians scramble for votes – the earlier silly season will start. Usually it doesn’t begin in earnest until July or August. Occasionally,

Since the quality of decisionmaking will deteriorate the closer we get to the November elections, we should be in for some real beauties in the coming months. Under the community charter, the mayor has the authority to direct council to reconsider a resolution provided that it is within 30 days of the original decision. Maybe the mayor should exercise some authority and give council the gift of sober second thought. Wayne Baldwin, White Rock

Views over environment? “Council has an obligation to preserve ocean views” will definitely make it into my top 100 irrationalthinking list, right after my head stops spinning. As a White Rock resident of eight years, I am still waiting to enjoy a nice walk around town in the shade of some luscious mature, healthy tree – any tree, somewhere, anywhere. I would think my right to enjoy the beauty and shelter of trees on city property would be part of my quality-of-life right, and it would precede that of those who want to live in a concrete basket. I don’t know quite where to begin to argue the negative aspect of the above statement, as it takes a particularly skewed mind set to arrive at such conviction. One thing I am sure of, it is unacceptable for any community

council to set views above the need to provide a healthy overall environment to all its citizens. Without trees, there in not much life. Alicia M.B. Ballard, White Rock

Not theirs to give away White Rock never had a city tree policy. In fact, our city historically has never cared responsibly for trees on city property – too expensive. Policy 611 is the city’s way of making citizens assume the cost of unwanted tree removal and infrastructural upgrading. An overzealous citizen estate agent suggested that $200,000 of increased value would be added to each of the properties on Royal Avenue. I hear the city doing the more-property-tax dance – the administrative tarantella – only they are providing the music while the citizens dance to their collapse and loss. What does this policy really achieve? In short, it perpetuates inequitability amongst White Rock citizens. Only those with the ready cash can afford to preserve their views and have a city tree removed. The only recourse to challenge council’s decision is a lawyer. This policy creates dissension and neighbourhood discord, over which council has unwittingly placed themselves in the role of judge/hierophant. The injured party is three times judged: once by neighbours, once by city staff and last but not least, by council – with limited opportunity to be heard.

How can anything ethical emerge from this policy? To make matters worse, the applicant is seen as the party whose interest needs representing, not the citizens who wishes to retain trees next to their properties – though you wouldn’t be able to figure any of this out by reading the policy. It boldly claims to be about tree preservation. It uses the concept of view preservation as one of its main criteria. I have found nothing defensible to this end in the community charter. What is the difference between view preservation and view creation; view preservation privileged over privacy or aesthetic expression? The Supreme Court of Canada will not like that. I don’t, either. City trees are exactly that – owned by White Rock citizens. They are not council’s, nor are they staff ’s. City trees belong to us and the policy should reflect that fact. Perhaps a citizen committee should be appointed for preliminary evaluation – anything to get the hierarchy right and level their status to any but economic boons. With these increases in property value, where will there be room for all that affordable housing we are led to believe we are morally obliged to supply; on the east side, or maybe on the hillside road ends on Balsam, between Victoria and Columbia? Curiously, five council members have view property. I wonder how that affects their voting? Barry Belec, White Rock

Berkson guilty of sex assault Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The little girl, flanked by her parents and a family friend, smiled when the judge read the guilty verdict this week. Kyle Berkson, the man accused of sneaking into her bedroom when she was nine years old and sexually assaulting her, was found guilty of breaking and entering with intent to commit sexual assault with a weapon, invitation to sexual touching, sexual interference and uttering threats. Outside Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday, the now-10-year-old girl, who cannot be identified under court order, said she was “glad” Berkson had been convicted. Her grandmother – who has been caring for the girl since she was a baby and whom she calls “mom” – said she hoped no other family would have to go through anything similar. “A child should have the right

to sleep in their own home,” she said, lauding the girl for being brave and taking the stand during the trial. The girl testified that she woke up in the middle of the night last April 23 to a man sitting on top of her. She said he sexually assaulted her, tried to get her to perform oral sex, licked her cheek and threatened her before leaving. The girl said she was scared and that the man sounded and looked like Berkson, a friend of the family’s. A pill bottle with Berkson’s name was found in the child’s room, as was a flashlight and pair of scissors which her parents said were not theirs. The shorts the girl wore to bed had been cut in the crotch area. As well, Berkson’s DNA was found on the girl’s cheek – consistent with her testimony that he licked her. Judge James Donald Bahen said the chance the DNA was not the accused’s was one in

1.4 trillion. During the trial, prosecutor Lynett Jung said Berkson had been in the home many times and was familiar with the unique and complicated layout, and another witness testified the accused had bragged about his ability to crack any lock (his father is a locksmith). Defence lawyer David Gable had argued the case against Berkson was purely circumstantial, and said there were many missing pieces to what he called a “jigsaw puzzle” of evidence. He suggested that perhaps the girl had made the story up. Judge Bahen disagreed. “This incident was not a bad dream or a deliberate fabrication,” he said, noting the child wouldn’t sleep in her own room after the incident and wanted to get a new bed. Berkson is to be sentenced at a later date.

Racing group aims to bring NASCAR to Surrey A group is looking to bring Canadian NASCAR racing to Surrey. Ryan O’Connor, president of the Children’s Charities Racing Society, told Black Press Wednesday he’s aiming to bring the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series to Surrey in the next couple of years. “We’ve been in discussions for three to six months as an organizing group,” O’Connor said. The plan is to use King George Boulevard from 104 Avenue to 100th as the straight-away for the high-powered stock cars.

Happy Birthday Linda!

The difference between major NASCAR events and the Canadian Tire series, is similar to the difference between major and minor league baseball. O’Connor and his partners met with the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association (DSBIA) on Tuesday to discuss the plan. O’Connor says he has spoken to Surrey staff, but not council as of yet. He noted he has early support from the Canadian Tire Series. The group wants the flags to drop in July 2012, but it remains flexible regarding the timeline.

news Clayton homeowners appeal to city for solution

Residents fuming over bus stop cigarette smoke Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The city has placed a bus stop so close to some homes in the Clayton area that people smoking while waiting for transit are in contravention of Surrey’s new smoking bylaw. City staff are now puzzled as to what to do about the problem. A year ago, Sophia D’Amato purchased a home in the 6700 block of 194 Street. All was well until this year, when the city installed a bus stop in front of her home. People waiting there, who typically smoke before getting on the bus, are sending clouds of cigarette smoke into D’Amato’s and her neighbours’ homes. Last year, Surrey passed a bylaw requiring people refrain from smoking within 7.5 metres from a door or window. The bus stop is within 4.8 metres from the closest dwelling. Adding to that problem, when it’s raining, people waiting for the bus often seek shelter on the porches of D’Amato and her neighbour, Jamie Moniz. Both women have young children and are infuriated with the frequent second-hand smoke and periodic visits from strangers looking for shelter. “I wouldn’t have spent my life savings on this house knowing that bus stop would be outside,” said Moniz. “I didn’t pay almost $600,000 for somebody to sit on my porch.

HST looms over B.C. budget Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Finance Minister Colin Hansen presented a “status quo” budget this week that he described as leaving a recovering B.C. economy for the next premier. When the successor to Premier Gordon Campbell is sworn in early in March, it will fall to him or her to decide if carbon taxes will continue to rise and small business taxes will be eliminated next year as planned. But the most significant decision of 2011 will be made by voters directly – to keep the harmonized sales tax or go back to the old provincial sales tax.

WHITE ROCK MONEY MART 1812 152nd Street

Campbell’s farewell in throne speech VICTORIA – The artillery roared and the honour guard was inspected as usual Monday, to mark the start of a brief and unusual session at the B.C. legislature. A speech from the throne usually sets the agenda for the year, but Premier Gordon Campbell’s last speech consisted mainly of highlights of his government’s achievements in the past 10 years. Monday’s speech and Tuesday’s budget must be presented to meet legal requirements, but no new policies will be undertaken until a new premier is sworn in early in March.

Finance Minister Colin Hansen dispensed with the ritual of a new pair of shoes as he prepared to deliver his budget Tuesday. The government wasn’t to pass the budget in its four-day legislative session this week, but would instead vote on an interim measure to finance government programs for the next three months. Campbell said his last throne speech is a chance to look back and also set the stage for a new premier and leader of the opposition. “I hope that it reflects the fact that I hope everyone will raise the level of public debate and

the kind of discourse we have, because I think it’s really important to the long-term future of the province,” Campbell said. “I think the government and the opposition can both do a lot to reflect that in how they handle the challenges ahead, because there are lots of challenges ahead for British Columbia.” Highlights in the speech included the 2010 Olympics, the government’s efforts to create a new relationship with aboriginal people, expansion of parks and protected areas and the development of clean energy policies. – Tom Fletcher

Nicomekl Rangers donate clothing to Rwandan children

Dressmakers have designs on helping Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

n the Nicomekl Rangers’ last year together as girl guides, the four friends set to make their final act count. And it seems safe to say they have done just that, having clothed more than a dozen Rwandan orphans with colourful, patterned dresses they spent two months sewing. Heidi Gulka, Hanna Otto, Anna Reynolds and Meagan Veltri took on the project in September after hearing of Poverty Reduction, Education and Family Empowerment in Rwanda (PREFER), which supports child-headed and single-parent families in a Rwandan village. The non-profit group – started by former Maple Ridge resident Cathy Emmerson and husband Teste – runs a local school that is attended by more than 100 students, most of them orphans who are either living with new families in the community or whose parents can’t afford to pay for tuition or basic goods and services. Upon learning the children in the school need clothes, the Grade 11 Earl Marriott Secondary students decided to make dresses for the girls using a simple pattern in a range of children’s sizes. They appealed for fabric on Craigslist and through family members, eventually amassing a large stockpile of material in various colours and designs. At their weekly meetings – which the Rangers usually spent planning outings, events or volunteer work – the friends spent two hours assembling the garments, with Gulka, Otto and Reynolds at sewing machines and Veltri pinning and cutting out the patterns on paper. To speed up production, they met for a sewing marathon on a school professional development day, working from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. By December, the girls had made 16 dresses, as well as 18 bags that students can use to carry school supplies. A PREFER co-ordinator delivered the wares to Rwanda, and, just last week, the Rangers received photos of girls in the school wearing them. “It was a (great) experience to see them wearing our dresses, to see their smiling faces,” Veltri said. “Our hard work paid off.” “I think seeing the pictures was the best part,” Otto added. The friends are now planning to send all their left-over fabric to the Rwandan school, where they said two girls

Their effort to help the African village was the girls’ first international project in a long list of charitable initiatives that includes donating toiletries and blankets to a local women’s shelter at Christmastime, lending a hand at the former Reptile Refuge and volunteering with area churches and community events. “It’s satisfying,” Otto said of giving back. “We’re so privileged to have all this stuff and to give back to people who don’t have as much, it’s a good feeling,” Gulka noted. “And we have fun doing it,” Reynolds

added. The dress-making is the project they are most proud of, and also their last as girl guides. With a busy Grade 12 year ahead – and Otto planning a student exchange to France next year – the friends retired from the program that they have been in together since Grade 7. “It’s a wonderful program,” Otto said. “I don’t know how my life would’ve been if I hadn’t been in it all these years.” The four assure their adventures together will continue, with a summer road trip already in the planning.

CITY NEWS COUNCIL UPDATE

Signs are everywhere! They tell us where we can get lunch, a haircut, a new house, and much more. Without them, we might miss out on all the great businesses and opportunities available in White Rock. If you own or operate a business in White Rock, chances are good that you let customers know who you are, where you are and when you operate through the use of signage. Perhaps you put a sandwich board on the sidewalk to grab attention, or use a menu box to entice diners. Whatever your strategy may be, it’s time to check out White Rock’s new Sign Bylaw and make sure you’re in compliance! The City of White Rock Sign Bylaw, No. 1923, took effect January 25, 2011 and permits new types of signage, including sandwich boards and projecting signs.

Students at Star of the Sea Elementary celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Winter Olympics by raising money for the charity Right to Play.

Supporting sports Star of the Sea Elementary students donned their Olympic gear Wednesday to mark one year since the Winter Games took the country by storm. The school payed tribute to the anniversary by encouraging students to wear Olympic apparel and bring a $2 donation for Right to Play, which uses sport to improve the lives of

children in impoverished areas of the world. The money raised will be presented to two Liberian coaches who are set to visit the 15024 24 Ave. school March 1 on behalf of Right to Play, and share with children and staff some of the triumphs and challenges they face in their war-torn African nation.

Catherine Ferguson Mayor

Why do we need a new bylaw? The bylaw will first and foremost ensure that public safety and traffic safety are not compromised by signage, while allowing for increased accessibility within our city. Secondly, it is a step forward in enhancing the appearance and unique identity of the City of White Rock, while supporting the viability of local businesses by providing them with sufficient opportunities to advertise.

This is the first update to the City’s Sign Bylaw since 1982 and reflects our community’s uniqueness as well as the best practices throughout the region. What is the new bylaw? The Sign Bylaw regulates the placement, maintenance and repair of signs in the city. It also includes provisions for prohibited signs and regulations for new signs not in the previous bylaw, such as sandwich boards, as well as an updated fee schedule. Under the new bylaw, certain types of signage require a permit to erect, relocate, alter or change the supporting structure, sign copy, colour, or name of the owner or business displayed on a sign. If you are a business making changes to your signage, we encourage you to review the bylaw first. To learn more about this new bylaw please refer to the White Rock Sign Bylaw, 2010, No. 1923, available from the Planning and Development Services Department or on the City’s website at www.city.whiterock.bc.ca.

Rodeo champs return Three world and three Canadian champions will be returning to the Stetson Bowl this May for the 65th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 122nd Country Fair. Four-time world champion bareback rider Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore. will be back in 2011, despite battling injuries last year. Saddle bronc rider Cody Wright won his second world championship title in 2010, and ladies barrel racing contender, Sherry Cervi, is also returning to Cloverdale this year. She made an impressive comeback in 2010 to claim her third world championship title, after championships in 1999 and 1995. Canadians Dustin Flundra (saddle bronc), Dusty LaValley (bareback) and Rana Koopman (barrel racing) are also returning to the rodeo.

Clyde Bingham has celebrated many milestones on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – including retirement and marriage to his current wife – and he added one more to the list when marking his 100th birthday last weekend. Family and friends gathered Feb. 12 for lunch and cake at Seaview Pentecostal Church, a place that holds significant meaning to the centenarian. Not only has Bingham attended the church since the 1940s, but he worked on the building during his more than 40-year career in construction. In fact, Bingham has had a hand in the building of many structures in White Rock – such as Peace Arch Hospital – as well as countless others around the province. It’s the hard work and dedication he exhibited during his career, as well as ensuring to take care of himself, that have kept him going strong through the years. But Bingham has another secret. “People ask me how I’ve lived so long and I say ‘Tim Hortons coffee and donuts,’” he quipped. Bingham – who is also known around town as Bing – started his life in Idaho, before moving with his family to an Alberta farm in 1917, when he was six. He relocated to Cranbrook after marrying his first wife, Evelyn, in 1934, and welcomed their daughter, Barbara, into the world three years later. He worked and lived in various

Bingham took construction jobs all over B.C., and worked in the field until he was 80, when he “thought it was time to quit.” He was also quite the traveller throughout his life, visiting destinations such as Cairo, Japan, Singapore, Bali, Australia and New Zealand. “I’ve been pretty well around the world.” After Evelyn died in 1988, Bingham met current wife Lorna at church. They married in 1991. The two now live in an

assisted- living unit at White Rock’s Evergreen Heights, where a party was held on his actual birthday, Feb. 10. Bingham said he keeps busy and is in good shape – both mentally and physically – save for a decline in mobility. “If it wasn’t for my legs, I’d be fine,” he said. “I think I’ve got most my marbles.” As for the milestone birthday, Bingham gave little weight to any emotions one might expect to feel upon hitting the big 100. “I don’t know if I feel any different than I did when I was 90.”

02/11O_CA17

Sam Mantyka is pretty much always smiling, making everyone around her feel particularly good. And tonight (Friday), parents at her school in North Delta are returning the favour. A group of about four moms at Gibson Elementary decided they wanted to organize a dinner and dance for the Grade 5 student and her friends. The reason for doing so was simple. “We care about her,” said Melissa Green, whose daughter is in the same grade as Sam. Sam, 10, was diagnosed with cancer in August 2009 after suffering headaches, neck pain and nausea. Scans showed there was a 2½-inch tumour in her brain. Surgery was immediate, followed by nine months of intensive chemotherapy and radiation. By last May, the treatments finally ended and in July, Sam was deemed cancer free. But the celebration was shortlived. In November, doctors determined the cancer had returned to her spine. The diagnosis, however, has barely dimmed Sam’s bright and contagious smile. “She’s amazing,” says mom

lifestyles Man gets new lungs from anonymous donor

Second chance Boaz Joseph Black Press

He cooks for his wife, Kim, hikes and bikes with her on the Boundary Bay dyke and is starting to get his running legs back. This summer, he’ll be off to college in Vancouver. Talk about a new lease on life. Last spring, ❝My health had George deteriorated to Keulen was a point where nearing the end of his. the transplant At age became the most 27, he was viable option.❞ spending more days in the hospital than at home, his mucus-filled lungs unable to fight off bacterial infections that were the result of cystic fibrosis. A nebulizer (face mask) fed clouds of antibiotics into his lungs, and he was on 24-hour supplementary oxygen to keep his body functioning. He couldn’t walk more than a few steps – part of deterioration that started in his early 20s. (In his teens, despite cystic fibrosis, Keulen had played hockey and ran track-and-field.)

Evan Seal photo

George Keulen, 27, embraces his new lease on life since having a lung transplant. The big slide began in the fall of 2006, when his body couldn’t fight a bacterial infection on its own. The following year, he met the BC Transplant team to discuss the possibility of a double-lung transplant. “They agreed that it was time to start looking into it,” he recalls.

“My health had deteriorated to a point where the transplant became the most viable option.” The work-ups began in 2008 – tests of every kind. By the end of that year, he was put on the organ waiting list. There were a number considerations before getting on the list, he explains.

“You don’t want to be transplanted too soon, but there’s no knowing how long you will wait for your organ, so you want to make sure you’re still healthy enough when you’re wait-listed that you’re able to survive the amount of time that you have to wait for the transplant.”

Keulen knew the risks. “It is still a last-resort treatment. It is a huge deal. It’s not something you just jump into and take lightly.” In February 2009, his right lung collapsed twice, and Keulen spent three weeks in the hospital see page A23

lifestyles

Hope lifts lung transplant patient from page A22 hooked up to chest tubes. After that time, he had no reservations about being on the waiting list. “My lungs were pretty much finished. Things were getting very serious.” The waiting wasn’t easy. Moods wavered with stories of successes, and then dry spells, in the close-knit transplant community. By mid-2010, his doctor gave Keulen four to six months to live, and he was already 18 months on the transplant waiting list. Any further delay would mean he’d be too weak to handle a double-lung transplant. ••• The dream-like day, Keulen says, was a “beautiful sunny June morning.” At 5 a.m. two nurses burst into his St. Paul’s Hospital room and said that BC Transplant had called – a set of lungs were available. At 7 a.m., he was transported to Vancouver General Hospital. For whatever reasons, surgery was pushed back several times during the day – each time suppressing raised hopes. He had heard before that 30 per cent of transplant calls were false alarms. “It was all so surreal,” he recalls, describing the day’s events as thrilling, exciting and emotional. At 9 p.m., he was ushered into pre-op to say goodbye to Kim and was then wheeled, movielike, through the halls into a hustle-and-bustle room to see the table that he would occupy for the next eight hours. At a point like this, he explains, “you have to let go of all your fears and misgivings and trust that it’s the right thing to do and it’s gonna work out.” ••• Keulen says there are no words to describe how he felt just two weeks after the transplant. He was off the ventilator six

hours after the transplant, out of the ICU in 30 hours, and took his first steps down the hallway 30 hours later – “which I could barely even do before the transplant.” The recovery was difficult – he was tubed and lined like an octopus for the first several days – but he felt confident about every step. The pre-transplant sense of despair when tasked was gone. “Just the hope that transplants give… the life that you can have afterwards is night and day. Anything that a regular person can do now, I can do.” Keulen, while living as normal life as possible, still faces a lifetime of immunosuppressant drugs to keep his body from rejecting the lungs, and must stay away from people who are

Donations save lives Out of more than 784,089 British Columbians, just 17 per cent of the population has registered with BC Transplant’s Organ Donor Registry. On average, with 25,000 deaths occurring in B.C. each year, less than one per cent of those will happen in a way that enables organ donation. By health region, the number of registered donors are as follows: • Fraser (which includes Surrey and Delta) - 222,162 • Interior - 149,042 • Northern - 47,448 • Vancouver Coastal - 174,515 • Vancouver Island - 169,200 The Organ Donor Registry is no longer tied to drivers’ licences. Nowadays, the public can register online. For those with cultural or religious objections, the “Yes, I will” decision can include restrictions to specific organs or the use of them. No organs are “donated to science” through this process. BC Transplant, which works to send its message through

sick, since his own immune system is weakened. He was thrilled when a twoweek cold he got last December stayed in his head, something he never experienced before, as colds had always targeted his lungs. The immunosuppression also means that he can’t go back to his old job on the family dairy farm a few blocks away. “Being amongst the animals isn’t a good thing,” he says. Then there’s the W-shaped scar across his chest – he depicts the surgical incision as opening the hood of a car – but he expects it to fade over time. Keulen describes the lungs and the freedom they give him as a “gift” from their anonymous donor. “I wish there was a better way to describe the gratitude,” he says. “It leaves me so speechless.” South Asian radio stations, also offers Punjabi language registration cards that can be received by calling 604-8772240. Organ transplantation can be the difference between life and death for some patients. For others, it represents a total transformation in their quality of life. Organ transplantation also has a long-term economic benefit in reducing patientcare costs. The typical kidney dialysis treatment cost approximately $50,000 per year, while a kidney transplant costs about $20,000, plus about $6,000 a year for the immunosuppressants (antirejection medication). Today in B.C., there are more than 370 people on the waiting list to receive a solid organ transplant. BC Transplant is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and set a record in 2010 with 295 transplants. To become a registered organ donor, individuals can now register online at www. transplant.bc.ca

news Ridership up 7.8 per cent, excluding month of Games

Increase in transit use called Olympic legacy Jeff Nagel Black Press

The 2010 Winter Olympics spurred more Metro Vancouver residents to try transit and a good number have stayed on board. TransLink says its total transit ridership climbed 7.8 per cent in 2010 compared to 2009, after factoring out the Games month of February. That’s a big jump from annual transit ridership increases of perhaps two or three per cent in past years. The launch of the Canada Line just before the Games was a key part of the change and the Olympics proved a perfect chance for riders to try out the new RichmondVancouver line. “The Olympics showed the people of Metro

rapid transit line last year. It passed 100,000 daily riders last May – three years ahead of schedule – and is now running at around 110,000 each weekday. About 40 per cent of Canada Line users connect from South of Fraser bus routes or crosstown routes in Vancouver while 60 per cent use it for their entire trip. The West Coast Express was also up 6.1 per cent in 2010 to nearly 2.8 million, mainly due to midday trips added during the Olympics. The WCE was up 3.3 per cent when the Olympics are discounted. That’s evidence passengers will embrace extra service when it’s added, TransLink said. WCE can’t yet add midday runs, but new rail cars acquired late in 2010 allow longer trains and more available seats.

TransLink is counting on a 26-per-cent jump in the number of motorists who will pay to use the Golden Ears Bridge this year, but the costs of the bridge will continue to far outstrip the tolls coming in. Even with the rosier traffic forecast, the transportation authority will still pay out $33 million more than it receives in tolls for the Fraser River crossing connecting Surrey and Langley to Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. “We knew for the first few years we would be subsidizing it,” TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said. “But we are subsidizing it more than expected because traffic volumes have not increased to the levels we thought they were going to be.” TransLink’s budget calls for toll revenue to climb to $37.8 million from $30 million in 2010, the bridge’s first full year of operations. Even if the number of users rise as fast as hoped, TransLink will remain short of covering its $71.1 million in 2011 costs. Hardie denied the current shortfall represents any risk to taxpayers. “We’re not looking at raising fares or taxes or anything else as a result of the Golden Ears Bridge performance,” he said, adding project is only 18 months into a 30-year contract. “The cost of the bridge will over time be covered by tolls.” -Jeff Nagel

The use of transit in Metro Vancouver has increased since the 2010 Winter Olympics. Vancouver what their system can do,” CEO Ian Jarvis said. “It’s gratifying to see that so many of them have stayed.”

Transportation was counted as a major victory for the Games and TransLink. Motorists were warned of road and parking restrictions and urged to park and take the enhanced transit service downtown. Olympic event-goers got transit included in the price of their tickets and TransLink has continued to explore that type of option with other partners. During the Olympics, the transit system here carried a daily average of 1.58 million trips – 40 per cent more passengers than a typical weekday. Bus use actually declined by 1.2 per cent or about 2.4 million fewer trips. But TransLink officials say that decrease was due to the switch of bus riders from the former 98 B Line to the Canada Line.

POSSIBLE WARNING SIGNS THAT A CHILD IS BEING BULLIED INCLUDE: • Comes home with torn, damaged, or missing pieces of clothing, books, or other belongings • Has unexplained cuts, bruises, and scratches • Has few, if any friends, with whom he or she spends time • Seems afraid of going to school, walking to and from school, riding the school bus, or taking part in organized activities with peers (such as clubs)

• Takes a long, “illogical” route when walking to or from school • Has lost interest in school work or suddenly begins to do poorly in school • Appears sad, moody, teary, or depressed when he or she comes home • Complains frequently of headaches, stomachaches, or other physical ailments • Has trouble sleeping or has frequent bad dreams • Experiences a loss of appetite • Appears anxious and suffers from low self-esteem

puts on a week’s worth of events and programs to complement Pink Shirt Day, and CKNW even visited students there last year to check out all the antibullying related activities. “It’s great to see them get involved,” says NDSS principal Alex Watson. “This is kids saying ‘We’re not going to tolerate bullying,’ and that goes so much further than coming from someone like me. Peers have so much more influence.” B.C. is no stranger to tragedy related to bullying. From Surrey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nastoh, who jumped off the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blaming the constant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, there are countless told and untold stories that remain horrific. The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco. All school districts in B.C. have codes of conduct in place reflecting the legislation passed in the fall of 2007, the government notes in a release. “This step fulfils a commitment to institute zero tolerance of bullying in B.C. schools,” it states. As well, the government says school districts across the province have set up student web forums, introduced antibullying programs facilitated by local police and community groups, and have made information available through school district websites to help parents deal with children who are either bullied or being bullies. Tuckwell is looking forward to another successful Pink Shirt Day this year. “We’re just thrilled to be a part of it,” she says. “It’s never too late to learn the skills to have healthy relationships, or to help others have healthy relationships.” • Positive views towards violence • Often aggressive towards adults – including teachers or parents • Marked need to control and dominate others and situations • Boy bullies tend to be physically stronger than their peers • Hot-tempered, impulsive, easily frustrated • Often test limits or break rules • Good at talking their way out of difficult situations • Show little sympathy toward others who are bullied

Crime spree White Rock residents suffered a rash of break-ins last month. Police were called after windows of two vehicles in an underground parking lot in the 15200-block of Pacific Avenue were found smashed. Passports and a GPS were reported taken from one of the vehicles. It is unclear if anything was taken from the second. Police have no suspects or witnesses in the Jan. 29 overnight break-ins. There was no sign of forced entry into the lot itself, said Pierschke. That same afternoon, an unlocked sliding door enabled an opportunistic thief to walk away with an HP laptop computer and 15-inch monitor. Police attended a home in the 15200-block of Royal Avenue after the theft was discovered by the resident on their return home. It occurred between 1 and 4:30 p.m. Culprits responsible for a break-in overnight Jan. 26 scored only a yellow bicycle and a clay pot. Pierschke said a resident reported that a home art studio – a detached garage in the 15000-block of Kyle Court – was broken into overnight Jan. 26. The perpetrator went in and out the same way, Pierschke said: through an unlocked door. Police have no suspects or witnesses in any of the recent crimes.

Metro aims to reform dirty diesel machines Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver is poised to slap expensive fees on the dirtiest diesel-burning heavy equipment to spur owners to clean up their machines and reduce toxic air emissions linked to cancer and other diseases. The rules for off-road engines will be the first of their kind in Canada if approved by the Metro board at the end of this month and are being hailed as a major new step to improving air quality and the health of local residents. Older machines with the most polluting Tier 0 engines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; typically excavators, backhoes, forklifts and loaders with pre-1996 engines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be dinged annual fees starting in 2012. Fees will start at $4 per horsepower and climb to $20 by 2017, so a 120-horse excavator would pay $480 a year at first and eventually $2,400 a year if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retrofitted, re-powered or retired. Tier 1 engines will pay the same fees, but they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start to kick in until 2014, while cleaner Tier 2 to 4 engines are exempt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just targeting the dirty engines,â&#x20AC;? said Ray Robb, Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district director of air quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a clean engine or moderately clean engine, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping this regulation will be mostly invisible for you.â&#x20AC;? Besides the stick of higher fees, Metro will offer a carrot to clean up. Operators who

upgrade a machine to a higher standard will be refunded 80 per cent of the fees paid in the previous three years. Advocates say that could make a big difference because retrofitting an engine with a filter can cut 95 per cent of the particulate spewed out and a new diesel engine releases just one per cent as much particulate as an old one. Vancouver Coastal Health chief medical health officer Dr. Patricia Daly cited findings that 526 cancers will develop in a population of one million Metro Vancouver residents over their lifetime as a result of air pollution. Two-thirds of those cancers, she said, are from diesel emissions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is by far our biggest contributor to our lifetime cancer risk from air pollution in our region,â&#x20AC;? Daly told Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment committee Feb. 15, urging directors to pass the new bylaw.

Diesel-burning heavy equipment, such as excavators, is being targeted with hefty fees by Metro Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can reduce the level of air toxins, we can reduce that risk.â&#x20AC;? Besides cancer, diesel emissions are linked to short-term illness but also long-term impacts such as lung disease leading to chronic bronchitis, reduced lung function and accelerated cardiovascular disease, all leading to premature deaths. While ships as well as on-road trucks are bigger sources of diesel emissions, the health impacts of

off-road machinery are considered worse because they operate much closer to residents. Metro officials predict the fees will have a significant but not â&#x20AC;&#x153;grievousâ&#x20AC;? impact on affected machine owners. But there are fears the dirtiest machines may relocate from Metro Vancouver to the Fraser Valley to escape fees but make forays back in when their owners are able to underbid local machines

that are subject to the new rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be people outside the region bidding on projects,â&#x20AC;? Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson said, noting many backhoe operators are already based in the Valley because of cheaper land and storage costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the rest of the province will follow us and we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about equipment coming in from other areas.â&#x20AC;? Metro will hire two inspectors to enforce the rules but it also hopes for help from the public and law-abiding operators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate industry will help us,â&#x20AC;? Robb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you lose a bid to somebody in Abbotsford bringing in a Tier 0 machine that pays no fees, you might tell us about it. I would.â&#x20AC;? The dirtiest machines operating in Metro Vancouver will be required to carry a prominent label â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;T0â&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a Tier 0 belcher or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;T1â&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Tier 1.

Directors hope the decals will become a mark of shame, with neighbours speaking out when one sets up in a work site next to a school or seniors home. Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed bylaw makes it possible to ticket or prosecute not just the machine owner or operator for violations but also whoever hired them if necessary, so a development company or property owner here could be held to account. Environment committee chair Joe Trasolini is not worried the fees will be too punishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who are going to pay those fees arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the operators, but the customers out there,â&#x20AC;? he said. Officials cite estimates that every dollar spent retrofitting an old off-road diesel may generate $40 in health care benefits. Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment committee unanimously endorsed the initiative, which goes to a vote of the full board Feb. 25.

news Application for bylaw amendment seeks final council approval

Proposal moves forward Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An application for leeway to build larger homes on a to-besubdivided lot in White Rock’s South of Hospital Lands has cleared another hurdle. A proposed amendment to the RS-7 Single Residential Unit (Residential Infill) Zone bylaw received preliminary approval from council last month. And at a public hearing on the amendment held Feb. 7, no residents spoke either for or against the application. Eighty notices advising of the opportunity to speak at the hearing had been mailed to area residents. If passed, the amendment will enable a home with gross floor area of up to 307 square metres (3,300 square feet) to be built on each of two lots that will result from a subdivision of 15561 Goggs Ave. – a change the city’s director of development services Paul Stanton said will have minimal impact on the neighbourhood’s character. Current zoning allows gross floor area of up to 250 sq.m. Stanton said the lot in question is among six in the area large enough – greater than 450 sq.m. (4,844 sq. ft.) – to qualify for the rezoning. However, the current amendment would only apply to

Stanton told land use and planning committee members Jan. 17 that the application came forward for rezoning within the past 18 months. The lot has not yet been built on, he said. The proponent asked for leeway on the gross floor area based on the larger width – 12 metres as opposed to nine – of the lots compared to others in the area, Stanton said. While Coun. Lynne Sinclair expressed concerns at the

Jan. 17 meeting that the larger floor area “is going to be out of character” for the neighbourhood, Stanton – demonstrating with illustrations Jan. 24 – assured the difference would be negligible. “It’s not really going to impact the character,” he told council. The zoning allows “a little more square footage on a wider lot,” he said. The bylaw is scheduled to come back to council for final consideration Feb. 21.

news Former Games boss recalls premier’s fall, challenges

People’s energy powered Olympics: Furlong Jeff Nagel

More with John Furlong

Black Press

John Furlong was stunned Premier Gordon Campbell was forced from office by the political maelstrom over the harmonized sales tax so soon after overseeing a wildly successful 2010 Winter Olympics. The former boss of the Vancouver Games, who released his memoir Patriot Hearts on the Olympic anniversary, said he didn’t immediately realize at the time in late October that Campbell was in the midst of resigning. “I think history will see him as a great man,” Furlong said in an interview with Black Press, calling public opposition to the HST an unfortunate misunderstanding. “I do believe in his heart he was trying to do a good thing and improve the quality of life in this province and create a more prosperous future, which has always been his focus.” Campbell was a energetic supporter of the Games, he added. “He was always there for us,” Furlong said. “He wanted this to be about every citizen in the province.” Furlong’s book airs his frustrations with other politicians, including “moments” of disagreement with federal Heritage Minister James Moore and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who talked his way into the torchlighting ceremony in Greece. “If there was one politician I had a real dustup with it was (former Vancouver mayor) Larry Campbell, who decided he was going to have a plebiscite with just four months to go before the decision on the Games,” Furlong recalls. A “screaming match” ensued with the thenmayor sticking firmly to his position he’d

Best Games moment – other than Canada’s golden goal in men’s hockey? “Watching my children sit on the edge of the rink looking at Joannie Rochette win a bronze medal (in figure skating, days after her mother’s death) and realizing they’ll never see a better example in their lifetime of how to overcome adversity.” Worst moment – other than the luge tragedy? “Losing my friend Jack Poole.” Contributed photo

John Furlong, former boss of the 2010 Winter Olympics, has written a new memoir.

Best possible legacy of the Games?

promised the referendum to Vancouver voters and was going to deliver it. “In the end, even though we were angry at each other, he ultimately made us a better organization because we had to go win that plebiscite and demonstrate in Canada why we deserved to do this.” Furlong said he had no difficulty when he approached Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts about Surrey taking a role in the Games. “It took about 15 seconds, the lights went on and she was right there,” he said. “She was a champion who spoke eloquently about the Games and did all kinds of things in the community.” Olympic live sites, concerts, pavilions and other events were critical in helping defuse the sense of some that the Olympics were an unaffordable playground for the elite.

“A human one. It’s this indelible spirit we have. I think the country lifted itself a bit. And I hope we will build on this. We found a way to show ourselves to the world on our own terms. Canada came out a little taller. It feels good. I think from here on in many Canadians will feel we can compete with anyone and win and we belong out there.”

“It was a huge impact because it caused the city to fill up every night,” Furlong said. “The cultural Olympiad in many ways was bigger than the Games, in fact overshadowed the Games.” He marvelled at people who would line up for hours to enter sponsor tents, provincial houses or ride the Robson Square zip line. It meant people weren’t just watching as spectators, but living the experience, he said. “When (International Olympic Committee president) Jacques Rogge said the Olympics can never go back from this, they were talking about this pouring into the streets of people, not just in Vancouver and Whistler and Surrey and Richmond but across the country. This happened everywhere. This happened in Toronto and Montreal and Halifax and Grand Prairie.”

How can Metro Vancouver recapture the same energy in future events? “It’s critical to have a vision... When you’re doing something you should try to do as much good as you can while you can. So often events get organized without any thought of who they affect and who should be involved.”

White Rock’s Lori Tych stars in Earth and Sky

Stage chameleon finds new challenge Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

n Earth and Sky, White Rock Players’ current mystery thriller (Coast Capital Playhouse, until Feb. 26), Lori Tych plays an emotionally charged central role. A poet and part-time librarian, Sara McKeon finds herself in a nightmarish situation when her lover, restaurant owner David (Jason Dedrick) is found shot to death. Just as shocking are allegations that the man she thought she knew had an unsavoury past that may have included kidnapping, rape and murder. Her interaction with the officers investigating the case, intense ‘alpha male’ Det. H.E. Weber (Ben Odberg) and the more easygoing Sgt. Al Kersnowski (Mike Busswood), convince her that her only option is to investigate the murder herself. Along the way she enlists the help of friends Joyce Lazio (Kaity Busswood) and Billy Hart (Aaron Elliott) – and her own memories of her relationship with David – to navigate an urban maze populated with characters whose motives are in question, including Carl Eisenstadt (director Dale Kelly), Marie Defaria (Colleen Kelly) and Julius Gatz (Andrew LeBlanc). The mystery is also relatively unexplored territory for White Rock resident Tych, who acknowledges “this is the most straight character I’ve played – I can’t go to my comedic default setting.” While she’s always been featured more in character roles, she confesses that playing a plum role that has her on stage for most of the show’s 28 scenes – and a romantic lead in the bargain – has whetted her appetite for more. She says she can identify with her character’s belief that materialism and possessions don’t add up to a good or happy existence. “Sara’s a minimalist in many File photos ways – and I’m a little that way, Lori Tych (above) has often been featured in character roles, including Diane in Metro Theatre’s Up and Coming (top right), but plays a plum role too.

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Semiahmoo Arts (formerly the Community Arts Council of White Rock and District) has issued a call for artists for exhibitions to fill out its 2011 schedule at its gallery at Windsor Square (1959 152 St.). The organization has announced a preference for group shows – ranging from self-assembled groups of three or more artists whose work shares a common theme to established groups and guilds. However, Semiahmoo Arts president Barbara Cooper and manager Patrick Reynolds confirm that applicants must all be members of Semiahmoo Arts – which means they must each have paid the $20 annual membership fee before applying.

“It’s not a very large amount considering what Semiahmoo Arts provides,” Cooper said. Artists should also note that, according to the exhibition application, the gallery takes a commission of 33.3 per cent on all sales. Five spaces are currently unfilled for 2011; June, July, August, October and November. Applications are also encouraged to include artists who work in both two and three dimensions (such as sculptures and installations). Deadline for submissions is Thursday, March 3, before gallery closing. Late applications will not be considered. Artists will be notified of of the selection committee’s decision by Friday, March 11. Similar conditions apply to another

presents

show planned by Semiahmoo Arts, Outside The Box Fibre Festival, an exhibition of textile art scheduled for the gallery for September. The call is open to any artists working with fibre, and, as the title suggests, is not necessarily limited to traditional definitions of textile art. Artists are encouraged to consider unusual materials, like metal, wood, paper and glass, as well as conventional natural and synthetic fibres such as wool, silk, cotton and polyester. Two-dimensional hanging artwork, as well as three-dimensional pieces, will be considered. Deadline for submissions for Outside The Box is Wednesday, June 15, before gallery closing. For more information and

application requirements, visit www. semiahmooarts.com or call 604-5368333. Another opportunity for local artists to display their work is White Rock Community Centre’s Art On Display program at Miramar Village in uptown White Rock. The upcoming exhibit, Marine, seeks works relating to the seashore, ranging from “beaches, the sea, paddlers, sailors to fish and chip stands.” Entry deadline is Monday, March 7, 4 p.m. The Art On Display application can be found online at www. semiahmooarts.com. or can be picked up from the community centre at 15154 Russell Ave.

Stripes: The Mystery Circus

Under the Mango Tree

This delightful spectacle combines physical theatre, cabaret and traditional theatre in a play about a woman who wants to run away and join the circus. Through song, memories and sheer determination, our heroine reveals eight out-of-this-world circus acts in an audition that humorously and touchingly goes awry. Writer/performer Sarah Hayward creates a memorable character who charms the audience with her spunk and spirit.

For many young men, going to a new country is a journey full of hope, promise, and opportunity. But what about the children left behind? Performer/playwright Veenesh Dubois weaves a semi-autobiographical tale about a young girl whose father emigrates to Canada. Letters are their only connection as she waits to joins him. The show has played to packed houses and standing ovations, as the heartfelt themes of love, loss and immigration are explored in a story that touches us all.

arts & entertainment Play explores family’s reaction to Newfoundland joining Confederation

Historic drama hits the stage at Southridge Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It’s a history lesson and a sometimes serious, but often humourous, slice-of-life drama rolled into one. Canadian playwright David French’s 1949 receives a detailed, period authentic production by Southridge School senior students next week (Wednesday-Friday, Feb. 23-25, 7 p.m. at the school, ticket information: 604535-5056). The play takes its title from the notable year in which Newfoundland, long a British colony, joined Confederation as its newest province – and French’s exercise in domestic realism is rooted in, and contrasted with, the politics of that change. There was an excitement that much was to be gained by joining Confederation – but a sober realization, particularly among older and more fiercely independent Newfoundlanders, that much was also to be lost. The bittersweet nature of the divisive decision is a constant subtext to the play 1949 – but far from its only focus. As French – who was born there himself – recognized, Newfoundland is as much a state of mind as a physical location. The actual action of 1949 take place in Toronto, where the playwright’s Mercer family – native Newfoundlanders at heart – were transplanted at the beginning of the war. The fact is the Mercers – father Jacob (Ben Rasera), mother Mary (Olivia Gerow) and their two young boys Ben (Brent Mosher) and Billy (Kyren Bueckert) – are as caught up in the day-to-day dramas of family life, with all their emotional and comedic resonance, as they are in the unfolding political

Jerome (Shaquille Pabani), Dr. Hunter “We’re so lucky that David French wrote (Arjun Hair), Wiff (Kyle Ketchum) and all these plays,” she said, adding that several

of the students involved in the current production have seen Salt-Water Moon, or are reading other plays in the cycle. “I understand that 1949 is not performed as much as some of the others.” For Mullin, who returned to the school – and her old job – last fall after a five-year sojourn in New Zealand, 1949 fulfills all the requirements for a volunteer student show. “I wanted to do something that was Canadian-centred, something that told us about the east coast of Canada, and something that was full of drama, tragedy and comedy,” she said. And the energy that her young cast and crew – which outside of four Grade 11Grade 12 principal actors, consists mainly of Grade 9s and 10s – have brought to the project has been gratifying, she said. Jacob’s emotional journey is one of the keynotes of the play, Rasera said. “He’s had a tough life and he’s worked very hard to provide for his family,” he said. Rachel’s attitude provides a stark contrast, according to Laird. “She’s a very proud Newfoundlander and completely outraged at joining Canada,” she said. Mary isn’t political, Gerow said. “I don’t think she’s that hopped-up about Confederation. What she really feels is how it’s affecting her whole family.” Dot’s agenda is more basic, Mordhurst said. “I don’t think she’s that worried about Confederation,” she said. “Her issue about (wanting to) get pregnant is what drives her through the play. She tries to create drama. She’s very flamboyant.”

arts & entertainment Seussical the Musical comes Feb. 22

Family friendly

Contributed photos

Cassidy Poulton, Austin Jamieson and Cordelia Sank appear in Seussical the Musical, coming to Elgin Park Secondary.

A person’s a person, no matter how small – and to prove that point, Elgin Park Secondary is unleashing a small army of Circus McGurkus performers, Wickersham Brothers and Bird Girls, not to mention Horton the Elephant and the Grinch. All these characters and many more are featured in the school’s production of Seussical the Musical, which runs Feb. 22-26. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. at the school, 13484 24 Ave. The Broadway hit, by Steven Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, is inspired by the beloved characters and stories created by writer and illustrator Theodor Seuss Geisel, best known to generations of children and parents as Dr. Seuss.

Clockwise from top: Harrison Macdonald, Arden Reimer, Jesse Copeland and Katie Doyle in character. Director Stan Engstrom said Elgin Park’s production is the full Broadway version, which also incorporates “some of the darker side” of Seuss’ vision. Tickets are available at the school or 604-538-6678.

Dramatic double bill coming One evening, two one-act plays. The Surrey Arts Centre presents two very different one-act plays this weekend. Stripes: The Mystery Circus, combines physical theatre, cabaret and traditional theatre in a play about a woman who wants to run away and join the circus. Through song, memories and sheer determination, our heroine, writer/ performer Sarah Hayward, reveals eight out-of-this-world circus acts in an audition that goes awry. The second play, Under The Mango

Tree, is a semi-autobiographical tale about a young girl whose father emigrates to Canada, leaving her behind. Letters and tapes are their only connect as she waits to join him. The show, with its heartfelt themes of love, loss and immigration, has played to packed audiences and standing ovations. The pair of plays will be featured in two double-bill evenings Feb. 18 and 19, 8 p.m., at the arts centre, located at 13750 88 Ave. Tickets are $30 for adults, $28 for students and seniors, available at https://tickets.surrey.ca

arts & entertainment Tree project provides unique, educational opportunity for kids

‘Not your traditional totem’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Leonard Wells has began chipping away at local high schools this week. In fact, over the next several weeks, the Semiahmoo First Nation master carver will be touring five Surrey secondary schools. And with him will be 12 feet of red cedar. Wells is in the process of carving two welcome poles that will eventually grace the entrance of the Surrey School District’s new education centre near 92 Avenue and 140 Street. It’s part of the Tree of LIfe project, where the cedar logs being transformed into the poles will be taken from school to school, so students can not only see a carver at work, but also hear from various elders as they share wisdom and stories from

Leonard Wells, with carving he and brother Leslie created for the 20 Avenue roundabout. their culture. The first stop this week was Frank Hurt Secondary, where teens heard from elders Eddie Pierre from the Katzie Nation and Sto:lo Nation member Daniel Charlie. There was a ceremony held when the fallen mass of wood was initially removed from the forest floor. And when the poles

are finally raised, they will also be honoured with a formal ceremony. Taking a break from hacking and chiseling at the wood, Wells, who apprenticed under renowned Haida artist Robert Davidson before venturing out on his own, explains the current poles will take 2½ to three months to complete. The welcome poles will feature one male and one female human figure, both with arms outstretched. “It’s not your traditional totem pole that you’d see anywhere else where there’s animal figures or lots of paint on it,” adds Paula Leon, co-ordinator for aboriginal support for the school district. The poles will proceed to Fraser Heights, Kwantlen Park, Lord Tweedsmuir and Guildford Park Secondary schools over the next four weeks.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Three years after being hit by a car, Jack Williams inks scholarship to run at UBC

Totems runner back on the fast track Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hree years ago, running competitively was the last thing on Jack Williams’

mind. After being hit by a car while crossing the street – in a marked crosswalk near Semiahmoo Secondary in February 2008 – Williams spent much of the next year simply trying to move without pain. The incident left the now 17-year-old son of Peninsula Runners founders Paul Williams and Lynn Kanuka with a broken tibia, shoulder blade and jaw, a cracked knee and an injured collar bone. Impact of the collision threw him an estimated 30 to 40 feet. As a result, the avid runner, soccer and rugby player was unable to compete in any of his favourite sports for months. “For a year, he didn’t do anything – he couldn’t,” said Lynn, a former Canadian distance runner who won a bronze medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. “It’s a miracle that he even survived that kind of thing. It’s not an easy thing to come back from, and I’m just so proud of him.” Now, three years later, Jack has not only survived, but thrived, and his hard work – and mental strength, both his parents are quick to point out – was rewarded late last month with a scholarship to the University of British Columbia, where the Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 12 student will run the 1,500- and 3,000-m as well as cross-country. “It’s great – I’m really excited,” he said, adding that the scales were tipped in UBC’s favour not only because of its proximity to home, but also because of his familiarity with the school’s track coaches and many fellow athletes, including Elgin Park alum Luc Bruchet. “I’m really enjoying where I’m at right now with my training, with everything.” Though Jack is understandably excited about running next year at the university level, his struggle to return to running is never far from

Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 12 runner Jack Williams will run track and cross-country next year at the University of British Columbia. his thoughts. “It crosses my mind every time I put on my running shoes,” he said. “Basically for half a year, I was cut off from all my sports, my social groups. It was just me, alone – well, with my family – for a long time.” Perhaps owing, at least in part, to some good runner’s genes from both his parents, Jack had always been a terror on the track or the trails, even dating back to his elementary school days. “He was a star as a kid, he really was,” said Paul. “He’d win every race by 100 or 200 metres.” It was a different story for Jack, however, once he’d recovered from

his injuries, regained his range of motion and was able to return to running. (He gave up rugby and soccer after the accident in order to focus on one sport). Whereas he was used to winning cross-country races with ease, Jack now found himself finishing near the back of the field, which sometimes numbered in the hundreds. Still, he never pouted, never threatened to quit. He put his head down and kept going. And while their son never wavered in his comeback attempt, both Lynn and Paul wondered if he’d one day decide to pack away the running shoes for good.

“You’d go to a race and you’d have people saying, ‘Hey, you’re that Williams kid, why are you finishing near the back?’” Lynn said. “It was tough, but he’s just so mentally strong and so motivated.” Paul too, was impressed with his son’s resolve. “We were worried that he’d lose interest, but he never did,” he said. As he got more races under his belt, Jack slowly began to move from the back of the pack to the middle and, eventually, to the front. He was part of Semiahmoo’s gold-medal winning boys 4x400 relay team at B.C. High School

Track and Field Championships last June, and in December won bronze at cross-country provincials. And while he’s been healthy enough to compete - and make it to the podium – he still isn’t quite 100 per cent. Last week, he had an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan done on his once-injured knee, as it still occasionally gives him problems. “We still haven’t see what Jack is capable of, I don’t think,” said Paul. “Once he really gets back into top shape, he’s going to be even better, I think. He’s just got such a will to win, and I’m excited to watch him and see what he can do.”

Five Mariners set for wrestling provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Earl Marriott Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrestling team may be in just its third year of existence, but already the program is making big strides under head coach Tom Willman. And next week, the team will send five wrestlers to B.C. High School Wrestling Championships in Abbotsford, besting last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation by three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a record for Earl Marriott,â&#x20AC;? said Willman, a former wrestler himself who competed at a handful of national and international events, including the Junior Olympics, when he was younger. Representing the Mariners at the Feb. 24-26 provincials will be Logan Smith and Mason Pomeroy, both of whom will compete in the 41-kg class; Kaige Thompson, in the 54-kg division; Brian Houghton, in 66-kg; and Corey Coon, in 74-kg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As their coach, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty impressed,â&#x20AC;? said Willman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These young men have had a very good season, and making provincials is welldeserved.â&#x20AC;?

competitors, according to Willman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a drop off from the start of the year

until now,â&#x20AC;? he said. They finished fourth overall at Surrey championships, and at Fraser Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last

week at Maple Ridge Secondary, Houghton, Smith and Thompson won gold, and Coon picked up a silver.

The fifth member of the team, Pomeroy, was injured and could not finish the competition. At provincial championships, Willman figured all five of his wrestlers have a chance to find the podium, or at least finish in the top 10, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad, the coach added, â??What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m considering hoping for is some are in that all their their first matches are year competing. competitive.â?&#x17E; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Tom Willman all pretty coach excited, and I think they all of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially the smaller guys, Logan and Mason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have a good chance to finish in the top 10,â&#x20AC;? Willman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good, considering itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincials. There will be a lot of good wrestlers there.â&#x20AC;? Medals or not, Willman said he simply expects the five boys to compete hard and wrestle to the best of their abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for its that all their matches are competitive. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not too concerned about medals,â&#x20AC;? he said.

sports Mary Benson hopes to inspire young athletes at Canada Games

Skier relishes new role Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

With more big races under her belt than most of her fellow competitors – including the Paralympic Games – South Surrey para-nordic skiier Mary Benson will be taking on a new role when at the Canada Games next week – that of a mentor. Most athletes at the Games – which began last weekend in Halifax – are teenagers, but because of an age-exemption for para-nordic competitors, Benson, 50, will strap on the skis, too. “I will be the grandma at the Games,” Benson said in an email from Vancouver Island last week, where she was training, and also competing in a Coast Cup race. Benson, who will be assisted at the Games by partner Kathy Oxner, said she agreed to head to Halifax – her hometown – in order to help drum up interest in her sport. “The idea is to try and get a higher profile so we can recruit new athletes for para cross-country skiing in standing, sit-ski and visually impaired categories,” she explained. “My plan is to work with the skiers and share my experiences… to help them along.” Benson certainly has experience from which to draw from. An avid recreational cross-country skier, she suffered a head injury in her late-30s which nearly killed her.

Mary Benson, after completing the five-km race at Paralympics. Benson spent the better part of two years rehabbing her motor skills, all of which had to be relearned. Eventually, on the urging of Oxner, she took up cross-country skiing again, and progressed to where she was competing at the para-nordic races in Europe, and represented Canada last spring at the 2010 Paralympic Games. Though her story is certain to inspire younger para-nordic skiing hopefuls, Benson has plenty of practical advice to impart as well – from technical tips to how to find funding and sponsorship, which is often tough for amateur athletes in

this country. “I truly believe in giving back. I was fortunate enough to have people around me who gave so generously of their time and expertise. Now it’s my turn, and I’m excited to be working with new skiers,” she said, adding that a few “keeners” have already taken an interest, thanks to a pair of clinics run by Benson’s ski club earlier this year. “I’ve always loved skiiing. Now I love it from a new angle, as well.” At the Canada Games, Benson will compete in the 7.5-km classic race, as well as the 800-m spring. The event wraps up Feb. 27.

Wave, Wolves swimmers excel at handful of meets Swimmers from a pair of Peninsula clubs have been making waves lately, in pools from UBC to Ontario to Australia. At a masters swim meet last Sunday at the University of British Columbia, 10 members of the White Rock Wave found themselves on the podium, led by 21-year-old Rachel Venner, who was first in 50- and 100-m breaststroke, 200 individual medley and 1,500 freestyle. Wave teammate Meghan Wilson, 19, won gold in 100 backstroke, 200 breast and 800 free, and won silver in 200 IM. Kristi Martin, 22, won gold in 100 IM, silver in 100 free and 50 back, and bronze in 50 breast; and Mark Stewart, 19, took top spot in 50, 100 and 200 back, and was second in 100 IM. Stephanie Howes, 42, finished first in both 100 and 200 back, as well as in 200 free, and won silver in 400 free. Nancy Waterman scooped two silvers – in 50 breast and 200 free. Brad Weiss, 22, was first in four events – 50 breast and 50 fly, and 50 and 100 free. Ian Siebel won gold, too, in 100 IM, and added silver in 50 breast and back, and bronze in 50 free. Rounding out the Wave winners were Andy Ji, 28, who was second in 200 and 400 free, 100 back and 200 IM; and 72-year-old Tony Pease, who won gold in 100, 200 and 400 free, as well as 100 breast. Wave’s relay team of Martin, Siebel,

Weiss and Wilson also scored gold in the 4x100 relay, setting a B.C. record in the process. And while Wave swimmers were winning medals at UBC, Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club member Hillary Caldwell was scoring a topfive finish in Sydney, Australia. Caldwell, in Australia as part of the Victoria Academy of Swimming, was competing at the New South Wales State Championships. She finished fourth in women’s 200 backstroke, while also adding 11th-place finishes in 50 back and 200 IM. Also last weekend, Caldwell’s PSW teammate Lynnaea Mulligan, who is in her first year swimming at McMaster University, swam to an eighth-place finish, and a new CIS qualifying time, in the women’s 200 butterfly. Sea Wolves fared well, too, at B.C. AA Championships in Chilliwack. Momi Milijenovic, 14, won gold in 400 IM, silver in 200 IM and 400 free, and bronze in 200 back; Bailey Mothe, 12, was first in 200 back, second in 100 back and third in 100 fly and 200 free; and Anna Koch, 16, won gold in 100 back and 400 free, silver in 200 back and bronze in 100 free. Rounding out the competition, Annabella Epp, 11, was sixth in the 200 breast, Emily Liang, 12, was fourth in 100 breast and Anja Pocuca, 14, was sixth in 100 fly and eighth in 200 free.

Live in Polygon Homes' Dayanee Springs community in Coquitlam

Bridges: built to suit every lifestyle

GVHBA’S 17TH ANNUAL

Living in an affordable new home situated on a stunning mountainside, surrounded by natural beauty and amazing views while remaining close to all the city's amenities, may seem an impossibility in Metro Vancouver. Yet the impossible is possible at Polygon Homes' Bridges: new, Whistler-inspired apartment residences situated at the base of Coquitlam's Westwood Plateau. Bridges is also located within the master-planned community of Dayanee Springs, which includes membership to the 7,500-square-foot Timbers Club, an amenities complex that offers resort-style features and services. The condo homes are move-in ready and offered in one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from 675 sq. ft. to 1,290 sq. ft. "The vision for Dayanee Springs has really come to life as the community nears the end of its buildout and homeowners are taking full advantage of the Timbers Club and the many other benefits to living in a master-planned community," says Polygon's senior vice-president of sales and marketing Ralph Archibald. "For many, Bridges is seen as the crowning jewel as its location within Dayanee Springs offers residents either an expansive view over Town Centre Park, or a quiet location next to the calming waters of HoyCreek, all just steps from the Timbers Club, where

residents enjoy impressive amenities like the pool, spa, sauna and fitness room and some practical amenities like the specialty dog-grooming room," Archibald says. Outside, natural timber and rugged stone accents, along with cedar shingles, give the homes an alpine village feel. Inside, EnergyStar stainless steel appliances and granite countertops grace the kitchens, while ensuite bathrooms have marble counters. Bridges residents are within walking distance to every amenity, from schools to an adventurous hike on one of many local trails; from a travelling art show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre to a day of shopping at Coquitlam Centre. Two-bedroom homes start from $319,900. Visit www.polyhomes.com for more information.

Roca Blanca Ever wish you could cut a rug like the fabulous swing dancers of the 20s and 30s or, perhaps, chacha-cha your way stylishly and confidently across the dance floor? If the sensual rumba is more your speed, you can find it and 17 more ballroom dance styles — including the salsa, foxtrot and waltz — at awardBrian Udal winning Roca Blanca Dance, located at the Sandcastle Fitness Centre on 152 Street. “Absolutely no experience is necessary,” says owner and master DVIDA instructor Brian Udal. “I often joke that if you can walk, count to six and hoist a beer, you can dance.” Whether you come alone or with a partner, Brian reminds people that no matter what your age or dancing ability, he is confident he can teach you to dance in as little as one hour. “There are many people who lack confidence in their ability — especially the men,” he said. “Students, particularly those who never thought they could dance, are often surprised at how quickly and easily they can pick up simple dance moves that will carry them through any social situation.” In addition to providing beginner to advanced recreational and social (private or group) dance lessons, Roca Blanca (White Rock in Spanish) offers competitive and professional dance instruction. It is also the first studio of its kind in Canada to offer vocational teacher training certification courses based on a syllabus registered with the National Dance Council of America (NDCA). With his commitment to excellence as a teacher, employer and member of the Peninsula business community, Brian was recently named 2010 Business of the Year (1–7 employees) by the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce. “I was surprised, honoured and newly inspired to keep growing the dance community,” said Brian. “I am very grateful to the Chamber, Peace Arch News, my teachers and my students for helping Roca Blanca Dance win. Thank you all.” Whether you have been dancing all your life or want to test out your moves for the first time, Roca Blanca Dance studio can help you discover the joy of dancing. Call Brian today at 604-541-1313.

D Your Dreams Design

Armadio Kitchen & Bath Ltd Whether your dream project is a gourmet kitchen, luxury bathroom, unique office or an entertainment unit with all the bells and whistles, the award-winning team at L-R: Danny, Tanis, Lloyd, Kelly, Phil, Armadio Kitchen & Bath Ltd. will Diane, Dave, Joy, Rob ensure you get the best value for your dollar on top-quality products and innovative design services. Backed by over 24 years experience and a knowledgeable team of custom cabinetry designers and specialists, owner Phil Cervi has built up a diverse portfolio of spectacular custom projects, including some of the most coveted kitchens found in Morgan Creek’s “Street of Dreams” development. Phil, a Georgie Award winner whose designs have been featured in House and Home magazine and on Sarah Richardson’s popular design show, Design Inc., has been called upon several times to design kitchens and bathrooms for multimillion dollar lottery show homes. “Our customers trust us to deliver quality design and unbeatable service,” said Phil. “They also know they can count on us to stand behind our products and provide really great value — something we are very proud of.” The Armadio kitchen and bath showroom is filled with a large variety of cabinet samples from local, custom manufacturers. Door styles and materials are endless! Wood such as alder, cherry, wenge or zebra; knotty, grainy, smooth or distressed are just a small sampling of the wide variety of choices available at Armadio Kitchen & Bath Ltd. For clients in search of a “green” solution, Armadio’s use of sustainable and recycled materials places the environmentally-conscious company at the forefront of providing responsibly-made and locally-manufactured products. Armadio offers an eco-friendly product line, which includes low emission, water-based paints that help to reduce air pollutants and, to reduce its ecological footprint and support the local economy, we only work with manufacturers that are located within a 100 mile radius of its showroom. In addition to its many cabinet styles and finish examples, Armadio offers a variety of hardware and surface samples, such as quartz composites, granite and laminate. The increasing popularity of copper and stainless steel countertops are also showcased in their showroom kitchens. According to Phil, the “contemporary” look is dominating the majority of kitchen designs at the moment. However, Armadio is well-versed in the traditional look as well. Whatever your style, Armadio can help you design your dreams!

Belle’s Restaurant

NEW AT

The original “Belle’s” is entering its 13th year on the corner of 140th & 32nd in South Surrey and they’re still as busy as ever! They serve up fresh, homemade recipes with many new, “inspired,” made-from-scratch foods. Looking for a quick and healthy meal at home? Straight from the menu, busy Will, Budd and Kelly families love Belle’s popular homemade frozen dishes. Simply heat up and enjoy! The newer Belle’s Restaurant, which hugs the original Belle’s location, is entering its fifth year. “It’s taken us awhile to figure out this new concept,” says owner, Leslee Kerfoot, “but we are on a roll now.” “Will Beere is our fabulous, up and coming chef. He’s helping us to get back to our roots of fresh, made-from-scratch foods using local ingredients. We’ve also updated our décor to feel like a ‘gastro pub‘ — warm, inviting, comfortable and very neighborhood-like.” Belle’s has always been known for offering great value and they’re taking it one step further with their “Share Plates,” a tasty way for Chef Beere to try out new flavours and combinations. Every day from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., guests can sample a variety of tastes for only $4.99 per plate. They are sure to be a great feature while watching the Canucks in the upcoming playoffs! Although still very involved in Belle’s, Leslee has handed the day-to-day operations over to her two sons, Budd and Kelly. Together with Chef Beere, the trio are full of ideas, energy and have a great passion for the business. Budd is a third-level sommelier and Kelly is currently in the Red Seal Chef’s program. Chef Beere brings a wealth of culinary experience to Belle’s from Hazelmere Golf and Country Club, the Sheraton Hotel, the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino and the renowned Wedgewood Hotel in Vancouver. Belle’s continues to make Saturday nights available for weddings, private parties and music events. Upcoming events include the Motown Dance Party on February 26, and the house favourite, AbbaCadabra will be back on March 19. Check out Belle’s website at bellesrestaurant.com for upcoming events, special food promotions and their blog which offers up recipes, food tips, hot local wine and food news.

Ask about Digital Progressives with no peripheral distortion!

Frustrated with the limited choice of eyeglass frames when you’re shopping for a new pair?

Maybe you’ve had the same frames for years or maybe you’re not happy with a pair you recently purchased.

When it comes to ‘what’s hot and what’s not’ in home fashions, owners Darlene and Bryan say it’s all about what makes you feel good. “Trends such as textured wall art have been flying off the walls,” said Darlene. “For some, the modern look is quite trendy right now. However, traditional styling always remains popular because of its longevity.” “In fact, we were recently in a home we had decorated years ago and were pleased to see how timeless the décor was,” she said. “By adding a few cushions, vases and some silk floral, they had a fresh, new look with very little expenditure. This is very satisfying for us.” For those who lack a “green thumb” but love the elegance that plant and floral pieces bring to a room, Home Again, Home Again’s “real-touch” line of silk flowers and plants offer a beautiful and realistic “no-fuss” option. “It is quite common for a customer to smell the flowers as if they were real,” she said. “We’ve also noticed a trend back to the softness of free-form bouquets, which can be changed up seasonally.” In addition to its convenient delivery service, Home Again, Home Again customers are always impressed with the store’s breathtaking displays and reasonable prices. “Gift packaging also continues to be very popular with our customers in this busy world,” says Darlene. “They often stop on the way to an occasion and are happy with the instant and free gift wrap.” Always ready to go the extra mile for their customers, Home Again, Home Again continues to be a local Peninsula favourite. Stop by today to see what’s new!

Winner of Best New B

Ball Park Sports

usiness 2010

The day after winning “Best New Business of 2010” Ball Park Sports owner Merv Sandrel explained how this very different company came to be. “I wanted my last job to be the most fun.” Merv spent the previous 30 years of his working life running the areas most successful ﬂoorcovering store and as he says “as exciting as that sounds, I had to do something else”.

Moldable Mouth Guard

Merv Sandrel Owner Ball Park Sports

“I wanted it to be different than big box, more like the old stores we went into as kids, sometimes not buying anything but looking and enjoying all the equipment and gear. Swinging a new bat, trying on a hundred gloves. It had to be about the game and not just the dollar.” Having coached baseball and now coaching Fastpitch, a store specializing in these sports seemed a natural. Along the way Tim Everson, who brings his lifelong passion for the game, also wanted his last job to be the best so he joined forces with Merv to open one of the areas best ball stores featuring all products relating to Fastpitch, baseball, slopitch and cricket.

MAJESTIC Ball Pants for Girls & Women

NOKONA Fastpitch Glove ZOOMBANG Heart Protector

3N2 Fastpitch Cleats with Tuff Toe

When asked, Why cricket?, Merv laughs and says...”it’s played on a ﬁeld and they use bats and balls, they have umpires and batting lineups, they even “plunk” each other, that makes it part of what we do.” Ball Park Sports prides itself on starting scholarship programs for the areas minor sports associations, its commitment to fundraising and providing good value in its sporting products....not necessarily the big brand names that pay out big money in endorsements.

Lundline Glass & Aluminum From the beginning, the “Lundline” name has always stood for two things: family and customer service. Since current owner Norm Brake took over the family-run business in 1996, he has kept up with that tradition, offering customers over 30 years experience in the home improvement and building industry. In addition to single, double and triple glaze Norm Brake glass of all shapes and sizes, Lundline specializes in the supply, installation and repair of vinyl and aluminum windows, custom window screens, balcony enclosures, patio covers, sun rooms, custom retractable screen doors and aluminum handrail. Together with his two sons, Craig and Kevin, his nephew Brandon and family friend Clinton, Norm sees to it that you have personal and professional customer service until every job, big or small, is complete. “We offer a wide range of products and services and take pride in only dealing with local manufacturers,” said Norm.”All our vinyl and aluminum windows carry the ‘Energy Star’ logo, resulting in greater insulating factors and cost savings. Our glass supplier carries a multitude of different patterns, types and colours, allowing us to customize glass applications to suit your needs so whether you need your windows to be replaced entirely, or just need them fixed to prevent moisture from building up in between the glass, we can do it all.” When it comes to installation services, the skilled Lundline team ensures that every detail, including any interior or exterior finishing work, is done to your total satisfaction. Whether your job is a simple glass replacement or a luxury custom sun room, Lundline promises quick and efficient service, which is never outsourced to other companies or contractors. “Our staff proudly serves the Lower Mainland and will continue to do so for many years to come,” he said. “We have been a BBB-accredited business since 1996, as well as a long time member of Shell Busey’s HouseSmart Referral Network.” With spring just around the corner, it is the perfect time to start thinking about your summertime patio needs. Lundline offers free, no-obligation quotes, as well as knowledgeable consultation services. Norm invites Peninsula residents to stop by for a visit or call 604-536-4012 to discuss any of your home renovation needs. Lundline Glass & Aluminum — Your local home improvement specialists!

Peninsula Village Chiropractic & Laser At Peninsula Village Chiropractic & Laser, you can feel confident the staff and doctors don’t have a “one-crack” mind. In fact, when it comes to your health, they look at the whole picture to ensure they address the root cause of your discomfort before designing an Dr. Sereena Uppal effective treatment plan customized just for you. & Dr. Mike Herrewig “There is more than one way to achieve the same goal,” says Dr. Sereena Uppal. “We are not just ‘crack and go home.’ If something doesn’t work for you or you don’t feel comfortable with the standard adjustment, then we try something else.” Peninsula Village Chiropractic & Laser treatments, which can be utilized for people of all ages with various conditions, consist of gentle manipulation of the joints and the spine. “Active release” therapy, which is used to address the muscles, ligaments and tendons, is a technique incorporated into most treatment plans to help remove scar tissue that can often be the source of pain. In addition to stretching and strengthening exerises, Peninsula Village Chiropractic & Laser’s services include gait analysis and customized orthotics, as well as laser therapy in conjunction — or as an alternative — to chiropractic. “Laser therapy is an amazing, new therapy that is being used world-wide,” said Dr. Uppal. “It is painless and helps with everything from tennis elbow to neck pain. It uses light, not heat, and goes deep into the tissues to address the cause of the pain.” According to Dr. Uppal, most medical plans cover chiropractic, chiropractic laser care and orthotics. “Be sure to find out what your plan coverage is and take advantage of it,” she advises. “Your feet may be the cause of your back pain and, with simple customized inserts, you could be back doing what you love.” In addition to Dr. Uppal, The Peninsula Village Chiropractic & Laser team includes: Dr. Mike Herrewig, a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor; Dr. Shelley Page, a personal trainer; Julie Beenham, a reflexologist; Lynn Ingram and Andrew Vowles, both registered massage therapists; and, of course, the clinic’s friendly office staff, Sarah and Sue.

Parfour Signs & Printing When the Peninsula needs help with signs and printing, Parfour is a local expert that has provided solid answers for 17 years. Locals count on full-service satisfaction and a modern environment. Owner Terry Parr has lived in the area since 1975 and manager Marilyn Winship has been here since 1992. They are both very familiar with the Peninsula and today’s growing demands in business for cost effective marketing. Parfour Signs and Printing is well-known for its customized and innovative service. Marilyn Winship 1. What are you offering to customers that sets you apart? Customers appreciate Parfour’s selection of quality business cards and brochures, and many local companies will also confirm that Parfour’s window graphics are outstanding. Examples of some can be seen on the Peace Arch News’ windows as well as, next door, at Grandview Health Group and Physio Life. Banners, trade shows, grand openings – you name it, they’ve done it! Catch the eye of new customers with some extraordinary display signage out front. A great storefront sign, a noticeable sidewalk ‘A’ frame, or an appealing fascia sign can make all the difference. Come to Parfour for full colour banners and posters as well. 2. What have been the key ingredients to running a successful Peninsula business? Marilyn and the Parfour team like to “keep it local,” offering attentive service and experience to the community they are so much a part of. “We take pride in the work we do,” she says. “We know how important it is to keep our customers happy.” 3. What would the public be surprised to learn about Parfour Signs and Printing? The range of services at Parfour is quite extensive. Leon McMaster, Parfour’s graphics and sign designer, can develop a new logo and corporate identity package to meet the requirements of any existing or new company. Call the office to make an appointment and sit down with Leon to discuss your needs. Also, did you know Parfour provides vehicle graphics, race car decals and, on occasion, even airplane graphics? We also do feature walls; an example of this is the new branding of Canadian Mortgage Experts on 32nd Avenue in South Surrey and dimensional foam letters as seen at Morin Law Corp. on 18th Avenue, also in South Surrey. Custom designed signage is also a specialty at Parfour. A great example of this can be seen at Blue Frog Studios on Johnston Road in White Rock. Custom reflective aluminum signs for all applications are just another example of the many products and services offered. Bring in your favourite picture and let Parfour reproduce it on artist’s canvas or drop by the office and check out its line of retractable banner stands.They are reasonably priced and are perfect for trade shows. Come and visit the “Parfour Team” at Central Plaza. Bring your questions and get some great ideas!

If your pet had Dental Disease, would you know?

Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital Pets bring unconditional love and happiness into the lives of their owners, from cats and dogs to rats and bunnies – from the time you bring them home, they are truly a member of the family. And just like any member of your family, Dr. Anand with staff when your pet needs care, you want to take them to a place where you know they’ll be in good hands. Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital in South Surrey knows how important your pet is. Whether your furry loved one just needs a check up, treatment or surgery for something more serious, this hospital is dedicated to providing health care and wellness programs based on your pet’s needs. In addition to the diligent care your pet will receive from Dr. Anand and his staff, the extended hours of operation at Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital make it convenient for you to get the treatment your pet needs, without having to rearrange your entire schedule. The hospital is open seven days a week and accepts walk-ins – they also provide after hours, emergency on-call service as well as house calls, should your pet require immediate care. The hospital will also honour certificates from the SPCA. Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital also carries a full range of flea medication, prescription food and other pet products. With the population of White Rock and South Surrey growing rapidly, and more families moving to the area, the need for pet care on the Peninsula is on the rise. The staff at Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital look forward to getting to know each and every one of their patients and their owners – and the care they provide has earned them many loyal clients in the community. In fact, many clients continue to bring their pets to Peninsula Crossing even after moving away from the White Rock/South Surrey area. In March, Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital celebrates Seniors Wellness Month, which addresses the special nutritional, exercise and veterinary care needs of older pets at this important time in their lives. Common ailments affecting aging pets include dental disease, osteoarthritis, cognitive disfunction and the loss of hearing or vision. In addition to watching for subtle changes in your pet’s behaviour, it’s important to schedule regular physical examinations for your senior pet, as early detection and prompt treatment can significantly impact and prolong the quality of the life of your beloved pet. To find out more about Seniors Wellness Month, or any of the pet care services at Peninsula Crossing Animal Hospital, visit the clinic at 2382 152 St.

Welcome Home

Roadhouse Bake Shoppe & Cheese Market

to the

Roadhouse

Few people can resist the temptation of the wonderful smells and amazing sights found in this popular new Peninsula bake shop and cheese market. In addition to a large selection of wholeLise Alexander some, fresh baked breads, buns, cookies and & Sharon Jacobson pies, the old-world-style “European market” offers delicious cakes and pastries; gourmet foods made by local artisans; quality smoked deli meats; locally-made, pottery kitchenware; a friendly espresso bar; and of course, cheese. Not just any cheese, however. Family owned and operated, Roadhouse Bake Shoppe & Cheese Market carries over a hundred varieties of cheese from around the world. It is also home to a rare, temperature- and moisture-controlled cheese vault. The bonus? Cheese is cut to order, fresh from the wheel by highly-knowledgeable staff who are also wine pairing experts. “Cheese cut fresh from the wheel offers a deep, unique taste so we enjoy providing pairing suggestions that will further draw out the various flavours,” said Lise Alexander, manager and daughter of partner Sharon Jacobson, who is also an owner and manager of the family’s popular McJac’s Roadhouse Grille, located just next door. “Our family’s focus has always been on providing the freshest, highest-quality food at a fantastic price. We also really believe in supporting local food makers so we stock a large selection of B.C. made products.” Warm and cozy, a little-known Roadhouse Bake Shoppe and Cheese Market fact is that it hosts super fun and easy “back to the basics” children’s birthday parties — which are not only a huge hit with party-goers but busy parents, too! Everything from the goodie bags (filled with tasty Roadhouse specialties) to the fresh baked pizza, custom birthday cakes, even the cupcake and bread animal crafts, are included at this one-stop, gourmet party spot. “I grew up here so I love seeing the kids come in and watching them grow each year,” said Lise. “It’s great being part of a community, and able to build long-lasting relationships.”

Mak Periodontics and Implants While our “pearly whites” may be the ﬁrst thing we associate with good dental health, the condition of our gums — the soft tissue that houses and feeds our teeth — can make or break our overall oral health, says periodontist Dr. Victor Mak of newly opened Mak Periodontics and Implants in Surrey. Dr. Victor Mak “As periodontal or ‘gum’ disease progresses, it can lead to loss of teeth and bone disease,” said Dr. Mak, one of just a handful of board-certiﬁed periodontists in the Surrey-White Rock community. “However, it can easily be avoided with preventative care and education.” According to Dr. Mak (who has nine years experience as a general dentist plus four years of specialty experience in periodontics and implants), gum disease affects people of all ages and can progress relatively painlessly. “Often, people are unaware of the damage taking place. Early warning signs include persistent sore, swollen, red or bleeding gums, as well as tooth pain or sensitivity and, as the disease progresses, bad breath. Left untreated, it can lead to gum abscesses, tooth loss, even heart attack, stroke, diabetes and respiratory diseases.” If you or a family member are diagnosed with gum disease and require surgery, Dr. Mak’s gentle and precise surgical technique and caring bedside manner, makes Mak Periodontics and Implants an excellent choice for topquality care. “In additon to gum disease, surgery can also be performed to improve your smile esthetically,” said Dr. Mak. “Some people are self conscious because when they smile, they show a lot of gum along with their teeth. We can easily correct this with cosmetic crown lengthening. For those with missing teeth or bone degeneration, we offer dental implants and are highly skilled in the latest bone grafting techniques.” Spending time on thorough assessments and treatment planning is a very important aspect of our service,” Dr. Mak adds. “As a periodontist, my business is improving the health and appearance of people’s gums and we can do that through a variety of methods.” For more information, visit www.implantscenter.com.

Always the Best Value In Town! 1350 Johnston Road White Rock 604-536-1199

Here at MAK Periodontics And Implants, we are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. Dr. Victor Mak has 15 years experience as a general dentist and as a periodontist. You will ﬁnd both comfort and expertise in a friendly, professional environment.

There’s no shortage of places to dine out here on the Peninsula, but for a place with variety and quality, at an affordable price, you’ll want to visit Maple Sushi. Located at 2385 King George Hwy., next door to the Caprice Theatre, Maple Sushi offers a full selection of Japanese cuisine, including sashimi – raw fish – and a wide variety of sushi rolls. Iris Huang But if the thought of eating raw fish makes you a little green around the gills, Maple Sushi also has a vast menu of cooked Japanese items as well, including tempura, noodles and their signature teriyaki dish. “A lot of people think of Japanese food as raw food,” says manager Iris Huang. “But we have a lot of cooked food – even our sushi menu has a lot of cooked rolls.” At Maple Sushi, in addition to a wide variety of menu items, you will find the quality of food to be very high. Their popular California rolls are made with the highest quality of crab meat – unlike some restaurants that use imitation crab meat or pollock, which can lower their cost by half. Some of the fish used in items at Maple Sushi is also flown in from Japan and the East Coast – the ahi tuna, yellowtail and octopus are all flown in fresh three times per week, so you can rest assured you’re getting high quality, genuine fresh food. If you don’t have enough time to dine in at Maple Sushi, they provide free delivery for your convenience. They also offer 10 per cent off your order if you pick it up, as long as it’s $20 or more before taxes. If you’re able to dine-in, visit Maple Sushi for lunch and choose from one of their 15 different lunch boxes. The portions are generous, and the wide selection ensures that you’ll find something to suit your taste – and each one is within $10. Or you can try one of their most popular menu items – the Happy Choice. It’s a make-your-own combo where you can pick out any three items from a list of 30 choices, and includes free Miso soup. Despite being open for just four years on the Peninsula, Iris says the staff at Maple Sushi has already developed friendships with many of its loyal customers. “We feel very fortunate to have opened a business in this neighbourhood,” Iris says. “Our customers help us grow in many ways. They are just like friends of ours.” Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur, or you want to test out something new in the way of Japanese fare, Maple Sushi is the place for fresh, delicious food and great service.

Feel Great Look Spectacular

Zig Zag Why bother battling traffic in Downtown Vancouver to shop, when the most diverse selection of trendy clothes and accessories is right here on the Peninsula? One visit to Zig Zag Fashion Boutique in Peninsula Village, and you can see why it’s become a favourite of women in White Rock/South Surrey for more than 15 years. The knowledgeable and friendly staff love nothing more than helping customers find the look that suits them perfectly, one reason why people keep coming back to Zig Zag year after year, despite increased Kerry competition in the area. 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 days slowly start to get longer and the weather begins to improve, the staff at Zig Zag are getting ready for a fun spring and summer season of fashion. When it comes to footwear, Zig Zag is one of the hottest destinations for shoe lovers of all ages. According to store manager Kerry, styles are all over the map for 2011 offering a little something for everyone. Expect to see lots of glitz and glamour in fun, funky metallics – both gold and silver – in all styles of shoes with embellishments, both big and small. On the other end of the spectrum, neutral, fleshy tones in everything from peep toes and wedges to flats and boots vie for the spotlight. Also sure to make a splash this spring is vibrant-coloured shoes in bright yellow, fushia and green. Gladiator sandals continue to rock the runway, but expect to see a more dressed-up, sophisticated version than its Romanesque predecessors. Already filling the racks at Zig Zag are clothes in corral and orange tones as well as lots of navy and nautical prints, which will be a dominant trend. Dark denim widelegged jeans will be a hot trend for spring – perfect paired with gladiator sandals. Denim jackets and bright-coloured clutches are another style we should expect to see plenty of this spring and summer, as are light denim skirts in a variety of lengths. Whatever style or trend you seek, the staff at Zig Zag Fashion Boutique will help you find the perfect look so you’ll leave their store feeling your best.
