Sale of Newton site angers project-supporter Hepner

Casino property ‘flipped,’ says Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

After winning approval for a mini-casino in Newton, Boardwalk Gaming has “flipped” the property to another company, leaving Surrey council angered about failed promises for the property. In 2009, Boardwalk promised a revitalized

mall at 7093 King George Blvd. in exchange for a lucrative zoning change to gaming. The rezoning was in complete violation of Surrey’s existing Gaming Policy, but it passed on a five-to-four vote. Hundreds of supporters – mostly from not-for-profit groups that rely on funding – came to the public hearing, matched by

passionate opponents to expanded gaming in Newton, which has more than its share of crime and poverty. Council was badly bruised by the marathon public hearing. The city now says Boardwalk flipped the property to another gaming company. Boardwalk’s head office in Toronto declined

comment, saying it is a private company. The new company is not required to fulfill the promises made by Boardwalk during the public hearing, but city manager Murray Dinwoodie said it would make good business sense to invest in the property. Coun. Linda Hepner said she is extremely � see page 4

Social media riffs on White Rock rugger’s beard

Kleeberger helps his country win ‘by a hair’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

White Rock’s Adam Kleeberger – and his impressive facial hair – were front and centre Wednesday, as Canada’s national rugby team edged Tonga 25-20 in their opening game of the Rugby World Cup, currently underway in New Zealand. Kleeberger, a 27-year-old Semiahmoo

Secondary grad, starred as flanker for the Canadian side and was named manof-the-match. And while Kleeberger was starring on the pitch, his beard – seen by thousands of TV viewers on TSN, and described online as “epic” – took a starring turn of its own in social-media circles. As the game progressed, the hashtag

#kleebergersbeard began popping up on Twitter, in honour of the hirsute rugby star. Canada took a 10-0 lead in the first half before squandering it in the second half as Tonga – ranked higher than Canada in international rankings – scored 20 of the next 23 points. Canada scored two tries late in the

game, however, to escape with the win. “That was awesome. I’m so proud of the boys, the way they played,” Canadian captain Pat Riordan told the Associated Press. “Just awesome.” Kleeberger has represented his country at the World Cup before, in 2007, but is taking on a much bigger role now.

President Barack Obama signed a framework agreement last winter and officials have since been working out the details. For those who cross the border on a casual basis, there are more requirements than there used to be. A passport or enhanced driver’s licence is necessary to cross the U.S. land border, and passports are virtually a necessity if you are entering the U.S. by any other means. However, the information contained in a passport makes processing at U.S. border points simpler than it used to be, and my own experience in crossing the border since this requirement went into effect has been quite positive. Surrey’s two border crossings are the busiest in Western Canada. In terms of lineups at the border today, almost all of that is due to the volume of travellers crossing the border, not security requirements. Most travellers are Canadians, and many trips are for just a few hours. Tourist traffic has dropped, if not in absolute numbers in the percentage of overall travellers. Much of this trend is due to high gas prices and general economic conditions. The U.S. has every right to tighten its security and do all it can to prevent terrorists like Ressam from entering. Those with nothing to hide, who are willing to obey the laws of both countries when crossing the border, have little to fear. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

Neighbours doubt blazes were accidental

‘Two fires, same property, one week’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Two fires in one week on the same South Surrey property have some residents doubting the odds both blazes were accidental. Firefighters were called to the 16200-block of 10 Avenue around 11 p.m. Friday (Sept. 9) after neighbours reported thick, black smoke coming from the roof of a two-storey home on the property. The crew was at the same address the Friday before, Sept. 2, after a chicken coop went up in flames. While Surrey fire Chief Ron Cross would

not speculate on the cause of either fire, one neighbour said it is hard to imagine the two aren’t connected. “Two fires, same property, one week? That’s a little bizarre,” said Graeme Lempriere, who last week used a garden hose to help prevent the first blaze from jumping the fence to his home. “We’d like to know what’s going on.” No one was injured in the latest fire. Lempriere said he was alerted to it by the smell of smoke wafting through his own home. As neighbours watched from the street, flames could be seen licking the roof of the house,

he said. Lempriere noted a hazmat team was at the site Sunday, and that an investigator asked him for a copy of video his brother shot of the Sept. 2 fire (online at peacearchnews.com) Cross said only that both fires remain under investigation. “I’m not at liberty to say what is going on. The investigator is out there this morning,” Cross said Monday. Asked if residents should be concerned, Cross said people should always be looking out for their neighbours and keeping close tabs on their personal property.

100 buses a day at site

Bus layover yields more complaints Alex Browne & Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

A new location for a bus layover in White Rock is already meeting with complaints from residents. The new site, adjacent to commercial buildings on the north side of Thrift Avenue west of Johnston Road, has been in effect since the weekend, after residents protested a temporary Foster Street location. But Rob Thompson, White Rock’s director of engineering, said Wednesday the city is already receiving some negative feedback. “People are concerned about the amount of bus traffic on Thrift,” he said, which he acknowledged amounts to some 100 buses a day, with the 321 and 345 routes added to the 351, which already travels along Thrift and Oxford. He noted, however, that Thrift is designated as a primary collector road and that the new layover is the site of an existing bus stop – and is where the 351 bus used to layover regularly, up until a year ago. While sympathetic to residents’ concerns, he said having a bus layover has to be recognized as part of the price of living in a city that needs and desires transit service. “It’s the reality of living in a city that is at the end of bus routes.” Relocating the layover became a contentious issue over the summer, after the North Bluff Road site was permanently closed and buses were moved to Foster Street. The move prompted residents to complain of noise and air pollution, while merchants complained lost parking was impacting their businesses. Late last month, Thompson promised the Foster Street site would close Sept. 12. Adding to headaches, Thompson said, are reports that buses continue to drive down Foster and other side streets since the new layover was established. Thompson said part of the problem is that Coast Mountain Bus Company has some 3,600 drivers on its roster, which may have led to delays getting the word out. “With vacations they do have to schedule people who are not always familiar with the routes,” he said.

Personal stories shared at Surrey session

Businesses brainstorm on the homeless Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mark lived on the “mean streets” of Toronto for years. Ravaged by his lifestyle, he was often seen by his nieces begging for money downtown. Out of shame, embarrassment and pity, they turned and walked away, so as not to be seen. “Despite his demeanor, he was a gentle soul,” an emotional Peter Simpson said of his younger brother. “We told him we loved him, and he was gone.” Mark finally succumbed to the damage caused by his lifestyle. Simpson, president and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association, told the story Tuesday to a group of about 100 at Eaglequest Golf Course, during a brainstorming session called A Business and Homelessness Dialogue hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade. Homelessness is not so much about housing, but about a loss of “connectedness,” said Simpson, who also sits on Surrey’s Homelessness and Housing Society. He listed several reasons why business should get involved with helping solve the problem, including lower health and social costs, stronger economy and a healthier work environment. “More than that, it’s the right thing to do.”

Pete Nichols and Colleen Staresina join a discussion on homelessness Tuesday.

Simpson was followed by Graham Newberry, who accessed local services four years ago to get his own life back and has since become a successful realtor. The audience broke into groups of about 15, to discuss how homelessness affects their community and what can be done about it. Colleen Staresina, crime prevention co-ordinator for Whalley, offered a list of effects homelessness brings to the community, including; an illusion of disorder, fear of crime, increased calls for service from police, city response and issues of mental health and addiction. Government can throw a lot of money and

support at these things, she said, but unless it’s co-ordinated, it will be of little use. Pete Nichols, owner of Whalley Printers, said North Surrey has decayed since the creation of the social services on 135A Street in Whalley, including the Front Room Drop In Centre. The term homelessness has become a “catch phrase” for a host of problems plaguing society, including mental health and addiction, Nichols said. To adequately deal with homelessness, the root problems have to be isolated and fixed. Staresina cautioned the breakout group that often the homeless are looked on as vermin, “and the police as pest control.” Coast Capital’s Jack Boyce later summarized the group’s comments by telling the crowd there’s a huge fear of the homeless and that the community has to take ownership of the issue. He noted that public education will be key, as will more affordable housing and supported housing for people with mental illness. He said business can play several roles, including encouraging government to hire the homeless. Common themes among those reporting to the group were a need for more affordable housing, a national housing strategy and a continuing dialogue amongst business leaders to find innovative solutions.

About three dozen people packed White Rock City Hall chambers Tuesday to voice their opinions and concerns regarding the city’s policy for tree management on public lands. While emotions were tempered, frustration was evident as residents questioned and criticized points ranging from slope stability to the city’s definition of an “established view.” Rob Thompson, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, conceded view is not an easy thing to define. “It’s in the eye of the beholder, it really is,” Thompson told the crowd. “I struggled with this in developing this policy.” The meeting was the result of controversy that erupted in Janu-

We had a lot of opposition: Hepner � from page 1 upset. “I am very annoyed and frustrated,” Hepner said, who supported the project two years ago. “I put a lot of faith in what Boardwalk was telling us – we had a lot of opposition…” Hepner said she believed some fairly large investment would

have taken place on that property by now, but says nothing has happened, except the installation of slot machines. Adding to the frustration is that most of the not-for-profits who fought for the project had their gaming funds cut in 2009 amid the economic downturn, as the government siphoned off funds

for general revenue. A review is currently underway of how those funds should be split with charities. Hepner said if the project came before council now, it’s unlikely it would pass. “If it were in front of me today, I would not be supporting it,” she said.

INCREDIBLE FALL SAVINGS

Marine Drive project ‘significantly’ redesigned Staff Reporter

White Rock council is to vote Monday on whether a contentious project proposed for the corner of Marine Drive and Oxford Street will go to public hearing. Members gave support this week to moving the project forward, following word proponents have “significantly” redesigned it to fit within existing height limits. “The applicants have responded to concerns of hillside residences and to the land use and planning committee by significantly reducing building heights and the scale of the project,” director of planning and development services, Paul Stanton, writes in a Sept. 12 report recommending changes to the Official Community Plan. Georgia Laine Developments had asked for the amendments in order to construct Marine Terraces – a three-building residential/commercial complex on 1.14 acres between Buena Vista Avenue and Marine Drive, at Oxford Street, currently home to White Rock Mufflers. The OCP amendments are needed to change the designations of two lots in the parcel from residential to commercial, which would increase the lots’ allowed height from 25 feet to 37 feet; a zoning amendment is to

A new development on Marine Drive is being considered. allow higher than the 37 feet on other lots that the existing commercial zoning allows. Residents have voiced concerns about the project’s height since January, when the concept of building up to 15 storeys on the site was raised. The project was scaled back twice, before the committee recommended in July that further efforts be made to keep heights on the two residential lots within existing zoning. That has been done in the current proposal, Stanton said. As a packed gallery listened, he and architect Tim Ankenman described a complex now proposed to include one four-storey apartment block, two three-storey townhouse blocks and a block of two-storey townhouses over at-grade commercial units. The number of commercial

units has been increased from seven to eight; total residential units decreased from 90 to 67; and parking spaces reduced from 144 to 99. Ankenman said the project has become “a real sort of pedestrianoriented proposal.” Referring to previous concerns that a four-storey building would set a precedent on West Beach, Ankenman said the precedent already exists; Ocean Gardens, a complex next door to where Marine Terraces is proposed, is four storeys, he noted. While the gallery was full of interested parties – including developer Robert Wilson and residents holding protest signs – members of the public were not invited to comment. Stanton noted the project must still meet two prerequisites before final approval of any zoning amendment can be given: the applicants must enter a covenant to ensure balconies are not enclosed to create additional living space; and, as the site needs extensive soil remediation, a detailed site investigation must be completed to the satisfaction of the environment ministry. If council votes to send the project to public hearing, that opportunity will take place in October, Stanton said.

Value of homework a judgment call

he carefree days of summer are coming to an end, and with the return to school comes the dreaded homework. What is homework and how much should a child get each day? These are common questions that are difficult to answer because teachers and parents often differ on homework and its purpose. Surveys have found many parents are worried that homework eats into family time and getting kids to do it is stressful. Although some parents appreciate the structure homework provides, others think it gets in the way of sports and other activities, and delays bedtime. Teachers don’t agree on the value of homework, either. Some educators view it as a way to extend learning; others see it as important for mastering skills like math or a new language; and yet others think it’s a waste of time. How much homework is sent home entirely depends on the teacher as there are no policies on homework at the district or provincial level. There is, however, a growing consensus that homework shouldn’t be just busy work but should help children make connections and deepen their understanding of classroom lessons. For example, colouring a Xeroxed map could be considered busy work but putting together a photo collage or making a diorama could enrich a child’s understanding of a country. Many teachers are moving towards projectbased learning, in which students come up with a project of inquiry, such as measuring the value of a local stream, and then study it from all angles. This would be a case where homework is useful as students get to work on a project of their own choosing. There are many resources for parents, but it’s not always obvious where to go and what to do about this topic. Learn Now BC (www. learnnowbc.ca/services/homeworkhelp.aspx) is one such resource. But most parents will have to use their best judgment when it comes to homework. If they think the quantity appears to outweigh the quality, it may be time to make a phone call.

10 minutes left of a pre-season drop-in game at Newton Athletic Park, I collided with an opponent (or, rather, he with me) and – wham-o – smacked the back of my head into the turf field. I learned later that one of the more experienced players, seconds after the disc I was running to intercept was released, had described said pass as “a hospital throw” – a term describing a pass deemed likely to end in some degree of injury. Well, he certainly called it. According to the ER doc, since I wasn’t knocked out and could for the most part follow his finger as it tracked back and forth in front of my face, my concussion was minor – thankfully. But after an attempt at returning to the gym three weeks later left me feeling sick for a week, I realized that perhaps, when referring to a head injury, the word “minor” best not be taken lightly. I put my gym membership on hold, traded my cleats for my camera at the field and reluctantly accepted that it was probably best to take the summer off. Three months later, feeling mostly back to normal – my normal – I’m cautiously venturing back to the gym. Judging by the rattling sensation in my head when I hit the bags, I have no doubt my brain still has some healing to do. But I’m determined to work my way back to where I was – both at the gym and on the field – before I got hurt. Ultimately, it’s my only option. Tracy Holmes is a Peace Arch News reporter.

Barbaric but not yet illegal An open letter to the City of Surrey. It has been brought to our attention that recently, a male raccoon with a leg-hold trap clamped to his front paw was found in a shed on 155 Street in Surrey. This poor creature had to be euthanized, as an infection had set in up to his elbow; so how long he had been suffering is unknown. As residents of Surrey, we would urge council to immediately pass a bylaw banning the use of leg-hold, Conibear and snare traps. The use of these traps is cruel and barbaric to wildlife and is also dangerous to our children and pets. We have also been made aware that under the Community Charter, a municipality has the legal authority to ban lethal traps and we urge city council to follow the example of Gibsons, B.C. and pass a bylaw to ban all body-gripping traps and to implement non-lethal alternatives to manage wildlife. As leg-hold traps are still legal in all provinces, please show an example to the rest of Canada. John and Pauline Wilcock, Surrey

No reason to move buses Editor: I do not understand why the city planners did not plan ahead with respect to the location of the White Rock bus layover. I am hoping there is a good reason for not considering – when doing all this sidewalk repair that is going on – the possibility of creating a larger space on 16 Avenue in front of Central Plaza for the buses to have a safe traffic layover area. Why could they not have encroached on the plaza parking lot to build a new sidewalk area, get rid of the concrete retaining wall and allow the buses to park there, where they have for all these years? And, by the way, in the 20-plus years that I have lived in White Rock, I have never seen an accident caused by lack of view when a bus is parked. The Central Plaza parking lot is huge and is now being used at low capacity, especially since Shoppers Drug Mart has vacated. There is plenty of room for a new sidewalk that would be safe for pedestrians, as well as provide a safe spot for bus layover.

Is it too late to revamp the plans in order to allow the buses to park safely at the same spot where they’ve parked for years and still give the pedestrians a walkway? D. Hunter, White Rock

Illuminations on volume An open letter to Josh Groban. I bought two tickets in March for your concert last month at Rogers Arena. They cost $232.50, and it was my birthday present for my husband. We both looked forward to listening to you “live,” as we have enjoyed watching you on TV and listened to CDs. As we are elderly, we don’t drive into town, so we had to take the bus from White Rock to Bridgeport and SkyTrain into Vancouver. Your concert was to begin at 7:30 p.m. At that time, a man entered the stage and started playing the piano. We’re sure he is good, but we have never heard about him, and the sound was so terribly loud we had to cover our ears with our hands. The noise lasted for one-half hour. Then we thought you would

enter the stage, but you did not. There was a lot of noise from the loudspeakers for another half-hour. Finally, you came! And the terrible noise from speakers all over the place made us cover our ears. It was painful, and it was impossible to hear any of the lyrics in your songs. We were sitting up in row 22, and when there were three drummers performing, the floor was vibrating under our feet. We felt sick due to the devastating noise and had to leave before the concert was over. Others did, too. We’re sure it was not your fault. Some technicians were obviously responsible for the overwhelmingly loud sound, but we felt “took” by the whole thing and thought you should know. This kind of loudness is dangerous for people’s hearing. We’ve been to the arena before to see Andre Rieu and his Strauss orchestra, and that was pleasant, not too loud, sound. We are so disappointed and feel all those dollars were a big waste of money and gave us painful hours with numb ears.

I quit smoking, not diabetes Editor: Add me to the list of critics of B.C.’s plan to fund therapy for smokers. I agree with Ralph Sempel (Province roasted on quit-smoking plan, Sept. 1) and columnist Katie Bartel (It’s not just smokers who could use a little help, Aug. 11). I was a smoker for many years and tried to quit lots of times. Finally it worked. I listened to the advice I got – this time – and as they say, ‘you’ve got to want to quit’. I did it. I’ve been smoke-free for 5½ years. I had tried patches, gum, etc. before. Now, I’m proud to say, “I quit!” So, it’s money wasted by the government to help smokers. Also, I’m in the same spot as Bartel, a Type 1 diabetic who did not choose this disease. With this, I also have to spend lots of money – two kinds of insulin, four times a day. I need needles to inject the insulin, a blood-testing machine, strips to test and lancets needles to get blood to test, plus lots of medicines. Then there is a chance of different kinds of diabetic episodes, the worst one last month. I went into a diabetic coma very unexpectedly. I drove from White Rock, but ended up in Abbotsford, still on 16 Avenue. I woke up in hospital, and totalled my car. It felt like I hurt a thousand ribs. Anyway, I lived. I’m not as fortunate as Bartel, with her third-party insurance, but I feel like her. If I could get some help from the government, even for 12 weeks free supply of diabetic costs… I don’t feel sorry for smokers, drinkers or pot smokers. They can cure themselves.

White Rock’s welcome to elevate architecture, but don’t disparage its businesses, writes Jennifer Chandler Zehner.

Second-hand, not second-class

Editor: Re: City full of high-rise fans, Sept. 6 letters. As the controversy over the Bosa towers and the potential for future highrise development continues, I have noticed another common theme that usually accompanies the statements made by those in favour of high-density development. Many have referenced the second-hand stores and other small businesses that are apparently not visually appealing enough to remain in White Rock. Jacqueline Twa wrote in her letter to the editor about the “oodles of tired second-hand stores.” Some fail to realize those so-called rundown stores are people’s businesses – usually family businesses that provide quality products and friendly service to the community. For those that have put down consignment and second-hand stores, might I remind you too about the importance of their presence in our neighbourhood. All of the items we buy to beautify our condos or houses – but eventually don’t want or can’t sell – end up at those locations. Those eyesores you refer to have volunteers that diligently sort items for repurchase

to many in our community, whether we choose to acknowledge it publicly or not. When items sell at thrift stores, charities benefit worldwide and shelters receive unwanted clothing from consignment stores. I take great offence to the assumption that these “tired” places represent something that needs to be replaced or that we should be embarrassed in some way. We should be celebrating the ability of these small businesses to survive, despite the ups and downs of the economy and the emergence of big-box stores. We should thank them for growing to the point where they could provide additional jobs and for being the embodiment of what it means to become an entrepreneur. As for the second-hand and consignment stores, they are putting money in the pockets of people and supporting programs on a solid foundation of compassion. So, if you want, we can go out there and put some lipstick on the buildings or do something that elevates it architecturally to a level you can live with, but don’t put down what has served us for a long, long time.

Traffic restricted as crane installed on George Street

Customer Appreciation BBQ!

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

All eyes were on the skies over White Rock Friday, as work to install a hammer-head crane got underway in the 1400-block of George Street. The crane, complete with a 140foot boom, is to be used in the construction of Epta Properties’ Avra development, a 17-storey, 108-unit tower at 1456 Johnston Rd. John Smart, superintendent of development for Quorum Group, said the installation – which restricted traffic flow and parking along George Street between Thrift and Russell avenues Friday – would take about seven hours. The process leading up to Friday’s effort, however, took about seven weeks, he said, largely because it is not a commonplace event in the city. “In the City of Vancouver, they’re so used to us doing this – a phone call and it’s done,” Smart said. In White Rock, “it’s a little sensitive and we have to respect that.” Smart expects the timeframe will shorten in the future, as projects such as Bosa Properties’ final two Miramar Village towers and the Essence move ahead. The crane for Avra will remain in place for about a year, Smart said. The building is anticipated to be ready for occupancy in February 2013.

International group offers training in a supportive, informal environment

Public-speaking jitters are toast with club Brett Bonderud

Haddy Abra addresses fellow club members during a Toastmasters meeting, which helps people overcome fear of public speaking. sprang up throughout North America. By 1930, various clubs had formed a federation to help co-ordinate activities and provide a standard program. Toastmasters became Toastmasters International after a New Westminster, B.C. club joined the federation. Anyone interested in Toastmasters can search the organization’s website, find a club and pop in to any one of them to witness members in action –making speeches and refining techniques. A newbie can come to three meetings without becoming a member. If they want, they can go to a different club, three times, for as long as there are clubs to visit. Knock four times however, and they’re in membership territory. Once a member, be prepared to speak. The good thing is it can be on anything. A first-timer should be prepared to do two minutes in front a crowd.

It’s an easy room though. Toastmasters is about support, VanDeKinder said. “The sandwich method,” she noted, where members are propped up emotionally and physically if need be, to help them overcome their public speaking fears. “I didn’t want to get up and speak,” VanDeKinder said, recalling her first time. She joined because of her work. She was reluctant to speak in front of people, but her job required her to do so. “It’s a double-edged sword.” Because of her Toastmasters’ involvement, she got better at her job as director of a senior’s society. She’s been a member since 2009 and area governor since July of this year. Toastmasters is divided into two sections – leadership and communication. Leadership means assuming different roles within the organization like that of club

grammarian or “ah-counter” – too many ums, ers and ahs, and the audience may lose interest. The communication component involves various speech projects designed to elevate members’ confidence and speaking power through eliminating awkward pauses. The speech projects build up speakers’ confidence slowly, with topics members will be interested in. The aim is to build confidence within a nurturing environment – the “sandwich.” A good speech appeals to an audience’s interest by connecting emotionally, VanDeKinder noted. The speaker should be animated and full of energy and, if possible, funny – a trait that often wins competitions. “The funny guy always gets it,” she said. But regardless of what attributes and expertise participants bring to Toastmasters, they don’t necessarily have to be funny. They just have to be willing.

ust the thought of public speaking fills many people with dread. Flushed cheeks, sweaty palms, dry mouth and wobbly knees often accompany someone who’s about to speak in front of a crowd. Whether it’s a social or work function, many people view public speaking as an unfortunate obligation, and wish later they never have to do it again. But for people who need to speak in public – those in sales, management or the self-employed – or others who desperately want to overcome their fears, there is Toastmasters. The organization’s aim is helping people overcome their fear of public speaking. “The greatest thing is to see people go from knocked-kneed to pro-speaker after completing Toastmasters’ speech program and leadership courses,” Sandy VanDeKinder, Toastmasters’ area 63 ❝The greatest Rock/South thing is to see (White Surrey) governor, said. people go from The organization’s knock-kneed to been around for 87 pro-speaker.❞ years and currently has 270,000 members Sandy VanDeKinder in 106 countries around the world. VanDeKinder said members come from all walks of life and different age ranges. According to Toastmasters International, 30 per cent of their members earn $100,000 or more per year. Fifty-two per cent are female, with about 70 per cent being between the ages of 35 and 49. Toastmasters members have included actors (Leonard Nimoy), astronauts (James Lovell) and politicians (former B.C. premier Bill Bennett). White Rock/South Surrey’s six clubs comprise 114 members, ranging in age from late 20s to 86 years old. Members include a retired school principal, a City of Surrey employee and others in professions where they oversee staff. Toastmasters was founded by YMCA educational director Ralph C. Smedley in a YMCA basement in Santa Ana, California in 1924. Smedley thought members needed “training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings” in a supportive, informal atmosphere. His approach caught on, and soon clubs

Shoreline cleanup Members of the 21st South Surrey Scouts will be on the beach this weekend in force, tackling garbage and other debris as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. The scouts and their families – at least 40 people are expected – will be at White Rock’s West Beach Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. They’ll pick up all manner of trash and recyclables, and everything they find will be carefully recorded before being disposed of. As part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, the group’s findings will be be logged

into a website, as will other groups’ collections from across the country. By late October, the overall numbers – detailing exactly how much garbage was collected nation-wide – should be tallied. This is the second year the South Surrey scouts participated in the cleanup effort; last year they helped clean up White Rock’s East Beach, and found everything from cigarette butts, plastic, to old T-shirts and fishing rods.

Considering

Weight Loss Surgery? “Linda is one of my patients that has struggled with weight for years. She dieted but always regained her weight with additional added pounds. We wanted to provide the best procedure for her and decided on the new Gastric Sleeve. We perform more Sleeve procedures than any clinic in the region and have perfected our technique to the point where people are going home the same day. The Sleeve Gastrectomy produces the same weight loss results as the Bypass surgery without the risk, malnutrition, and complications with certain foods. As you can see Linda is free from weight issues, disease and is living a quality life now.” Patient care is our passion.

Pebbles to the Pier The Pebble Pedal to the Pier event is back for another year, in support of seniors and volunteer programs at Sources Community Resources Society. The event, scheduled for Sept. 27 at 5 p.m., will see a handful of local business people, celebrities and media members peddle bikes from Crescent Beach to White Rock beach. And with each cyclist will be a pocket full of pebbles; the event is based on an old legend that states “good luck, good health, wealth, longevity and happiness will be granted to anyone who carries one pebble from one shore to another.” Participants are raising money for Sources by collecting sponsorships for each pebble carried; one pebble is $20, a “family” of four pebbles is $60, and a handful goes for $100. For more information, or to purchase a pebble online, visit www. sourcesbc.ca and scroll down to the Pebble Pedal information.

Dr. Ali Salari

Welcomes to our Family Practice NOW AVAILABLE - CROWNS in one appointment This family dental practice welcomes new patients.

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More than 30 years after Terry Fox was forced to end his Marathon of Hope, his story still reverberates. Just ask Van Scoffield, organizer of this year’s Terry Fox Run in South Surrey. Scoffield, a member of the Rotary Club of White Rock, attended a spring conference aimed at firing up run organizers. He goes every year, and every year, someone who knew Fox – a friend, family member, coach or otherwise – speaks of the quest Fox set out on so many years ago. The story’s been told countless

times, but the reaction is always the same, Scoffield said. “It chokes the whole room up to hear that story again,” he said. Locally, this year’s Terry Fox Run will pace off from – and return to – the Rotary Field House in South Surrey Athletic Park (2197 148 St.) Sunday (Sept. 18). Scoffield said two routes are available for anyone wanting to walk, run, bike or stroll for the cause. All funds raised will benefit the Terry Fox Foundation. Typically, the South Surrey event generates around $10,000 and Scoffield is hopeful this year will be no different – despite

the City of Surrey ordering him to remove most of the signage advertising the run. To counter the setback, Scoffield said he has emailed the details to previous participants and hopes the few signs and banner set up at the athletic park will be enough to draw people out. Registration gets underway at 8 a.m. The run begins at 9 a.m. • Other Surrey runs taking place Sunday leave from Cloverdale Legion (17567 57 Ave., registration at 9 a.m.) and the Surrey Arts Centre (88 Avenue at King George Boulevard, registration at 8 a.m.).

The Canadian dollar is holding sstrong, and while housing prices in tthe Lower Mainland are seemingly higher than ever, the same can’t be ssaid for our neighbours to the south. It’s no surprise that many people on the Semiahmoo Peninsula look to tthe US to invest in a second home or vvacation property. But with this cross-border investment, and extended amounts of time sspent down south, come many complex tax, estate and financial planning issues. It’s a subject the advisors at the Kilburn Coxford Group are often disBill Coxford & Lori Kilburn cussing with their clients – from getting the most out of both the Canadian and US tax systems to maximizing medicare benefits, and everything in between. “We’re seeing with our clients that the housing crash in the US, coupled with the housing boom here and a strong Canadian dollar, has more and more people looking to potentially purchase in the US,” explains Bill Coxford, BMO Nesbitt Burns investment advisor. In an effort to shed some much-needed light on the many issues surrounding cross-border living, Coxford and the rest of the team at the Kilburn Coxford Group are offering an educational workshop later this month featuring renowned experts in the field. Robert Keats, president of Keats Connelly – a specialized firm with deep expertise in crossborder issues – will be guiding attendees on a variety of topics, including maximizing US tax exemptions on investments, deducting mortgage interest on a US retirement home, taking advantage of US/Canadian exchange rates and learning how US can be a tax haven. The latter point is one many Canadians are unaware of, according to BMO Nesbitt Burns vice president Lori Kilburn. “Many people aren’t familiar with the fact that taxes are a lot lower in the US,” Kilburn explains. “Believe it or not, you can really turn to the US as a tax haven in certain situations as a business owner.” Like the holistic approach the Kilburn Coxford Group takes with its wealth management clients, the workshop will aim to provide real-world strategies to all of the issues surrounding cross-border living, from tax and estate planning to auto and health insurance, and avoiding ‘red flags’ at customs. Admission to the Sept. 29 workshop includes breakfast and lunch, and attendees will receive copies of Keats’ best-selling book, The Border Guide, as well as Buying Real Estate in the US – The Concise Guide for Canadians. If you’re currently enjoying cross-border living, or are considering investing in the US real estate market, don’t miss this opportunity to learn the essentials in Canadian/US financial issues – call 604-535-4310 to register.

Cross-Border Living for Canadians in the US Workshop Thursday September 29, 2011, 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Morgan Creek Golf Course, 3500 Morgan Creek Way, Surrey $125 per person or $175 per married couple (includes breakfast and lunch).

To register please call Holly Coghlan at 604-535-4310 Meet and learn from Robert Keats, author of a best selling Canadian book The Border Guide You will learn how to... y buy a retirement home and deduct mortgage interest from your Canadian return y as a business owner, learn why the US may be your best tax haven y receive your Canadian RRSP tax-free or nearly tax-free in the US y make investments exempt from US income tax y get the best of Canadian and US tax systems y take advantage of Canadian/US dollar exchange rates

Semiahmoo Peninsula home to birds both big and small

Admiring area’s feathered flocks in flight B

irds’ mastery of flight is no better exemplified than when they gather in flocks. Shorebirds perform graceful aerobatics over the mudflats, geese travel from Anne Murray the Arctic in V-shaped skeins and crows fly in orderly lines as they converge on a roosting site. I wonder how many generations of people have marveled at these sights? Small sandpipers, such as dunlin, form looping, cloud-like flocks as a defence against predatory falcons. A flock can comprise thousands of birds, moving as one, in almost perfect synchronicity. Studies since the 1970s – by J. Michael Davis, Wayne Potts and others – show that a rotation by one bird can set off a chain reaction that spreads through the entire flock, causing the group to turn from dark to light (or vice versa) in a flash. The wave of motion quickly speeds up until the flock as a whole is reacting much faster than the birds could as individuals.

VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix visited a college campus this week to call on the B.C. government to reinstate the student grant program it cancelled in 2004. B.C. was spending $80 million a year on grants to top up the federalprovincial student loan program, and an NDP government would reinstate a minimum tax on financial institutions to fund $100 million in grants per year, Dix said. Flanked by Camosun College students and local MLAs Monday, Dix acknowledged his announcement was to have formed part of an election campaign prepared for this fall. With the next B.C. election now put off to May 2013, Dix encouraged Premier Christy Clark to adopt his policy to relieve debt that he said now averages

$27,000 for B.C. postsecondary grads. Clark is set to announce a job-growth plan next week, with a series of announcements around B.C., culminating with a speech Sept. 22 to the Vancouver Board of Trade. That plan is expected to include employment training assistance. Dix made a similar promise when running for leadership of the B.C. NDP this spring. Monday, he had few other details, which he said would have to be worked out with postsecondary institutions based on previous grant programs. “My own view is that being 10th in Canada in student grants, doubling tuition fees, and having the highest debt loads for students is not the direction we need to be going when we’re asking young people and needing young people to get access to the very education they need to fill the jobs of the future,” Dix said.

Public Information Meeting Open House Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Location: White Rock Community Centre Presentation Room 15154 Russell Ave. The City will be hosting a public information meeting as an open house. The meeting will be a “drop-in” format with illustrative display panels, with both the Consultants and City staff available to answer questions. In April of this year the City hosted a two-day integrated design charrette as part of the study to develop the Town Centre Urban Design Plan. Volunteer residents joined a larger group consisting of representatives from various City Committees, local business interests, and landowners. During this two-day charrette, options were explored for conceptual land use and building form and layout, open space and streetscape improvement, green infrastructure strategies, street crosssections and conceptual ideas and illustrations. This was followed by an evening presentation open to the general public to present the outcome. In late June of this year, the City also hosted a Community Consultation Forum to obtain additional feedback on the progress of the plan, with over 80 people in attendance. This meeting is an opportunity for public feedback prior to completion of the plan for Council consideration. We look forward to seeing everyone at the open house.

The Shops at Morgan Crossing One Year Anniversary!

The Shops at Morgan Crossing celebrates its first anniversary Over the past year, The Shops has breathed new life into the Morgan Heights area of South Surrey – It was just 12 months ago that Surrey mayor Dianne Watts cut the ribbon to officially open The Shops at Morgan Crossing. Since then, the area has become a community fixture in South Surrey. “We’ve grown substantially over the past year thanks to the tremendous support of this great community,” said Leigh Ann Smith, Marketing & Events Coordinator for The Shops at Morgan Crossing. “Our first anniversary is very much a time to celebrate the amazing residents of South Surrey and White Rock who support us and our retailers everyday.” To celebrate its first anniversary, The Shops at Morgan Crossing has planned a Fall Festival on Saturday, September 17, complete with family-friendly activities including street performers, musical acts, face painting, interactive crafts, pony rides and much more. For a full agenda of activities, visit www. TheShopsAtMorganCrossing.com. Festival patrons are also encouraged to explore the more than 60 stores and services through The Shops’ Anniversary Passport promotion. Passports will be available outside of Thrifty’s. Shoppers can get their passport punched at participating retailers while taking advantage of amazing one-day sales.

Shoppers who visit 10 or more stores will be eligible to enter to win an iPad 2 or iPod Nano. Full contest rules can be found at www.theshopsatmorgancrossing.com/blog. The Shops at Morgan Crossing’ urban village concept was entirely new for a community used to shopping at big box outlets. Over the past year, it has breathed new life into the Morgan Heights area of South Surrey; combining unique local retail merchants with well-known brands like Gap, Banana Republic and Winners. Popular retailers Triple Flip and Crocodile Baby – that until now have only been available either in Vancouver or across the border – have recently opened, while Menchies Frozen Yogurt, Pure Medical Spa, Sushi Castle and Wow Royalty will all open in the next four months. The Shops at Morgan Crossing’s “Main Street” design has made the area a natural community amenity. It has played host a number of popular community events over the past year, including its spring and summer skate events, as well as the recent free outdoor movie series. This past July, The Shops at Morgan Crossing and Arts Umbrella broke ground on a new 5,000 square foot, permanent artistic learning facility. Targeted to open by the end of 2011, the facility will allow Arts Umbrella to deliver its programming to a greater number of children in vulnerable neighbourhoods.

More red light cameras in use Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC has activated another 35 traffic camera sites to detect and ticket red-light runners. The extra camera sites – almost all of which are in Metro Vancouver – include 13 in Vancouver, six in Surrey, four in Coquitlam and two each in Maple Ridge and the North Shore. Five of the cameras are now in the Peace Arch News circulation area: 152 Street at King George Boulevard, Highway 10 and 64 Avenue; King George Boulevard at 64 Avenue; and Highway 10 at Scott Road. There are now 105 high-risk intersections equipped to use intersection traffic cameras and the full 140 sites planned under the new digital camera program are to be activated by the end of the year. Violators are fined $167, less $25 if they pay within 30 days. Fine revenue is sent back to local cities to support policing and public safety programs. ICBC predicts there will be a six-per-cent

reduction in serious injury and fatal crashes at intersections as a result of the cameras’ installation, and reduced claims costs will pay for them. “We’ve seen too often the carnage of intersection crashes,” RCMP Lower Mainland Traffic Services Supt. Norm Gaumont said. “These cameras are going to help make our roads safer by targeting those who choose to deliberately put other lives at risk.” Roughly 40 per cent of serious crashes happen at intersections. The cameras don’t all operate at the same time – ICBC says they’ll be run strategically. Red light cameras have been in action in B.C. since 1999, but the switch to a larger number of digital cameras is costing $20 million. About 33,000 tickets a year are now expected to be issued, an increase of 10,000. For more information on the red light cameras, including a map of sites, visit www.icbc.com/roadsafety/safer-drivers/ intersection-safety

Metro parks aim for business Jeff Nagel Black Press

An updated regional parks master plan would entrench Metro Vancouver’s new strategy of allowing more for-profit recreational activities and other money-making ventures in its parks to help defray costs. The draft Regional Parks and

Greenways Plan adds a new goal to “promote philanthropy and economic opportunities” in Metro parks. It says Metro will pursue enhanced services and and programs consistent with park settings to expand the range of outdoor recreation opportunities while generating non-tax

revenue streams. A staff report says alternative revenue is of “great interest” to Metro due to the shortfall between the regional park system’s core funding from Metro property taxes and demand for more facilities and programs. � see page 34

Pay services eyed ďż˝ from page 33 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seriously looking at enhanced services,â&#x20AC;? said Metro parks committee chair Gayle Martin, a Langley City councillor. So far those have not been intensely controversial, although Metro previously rejected a golf academy at Tynehead Regional Park in Surrey and says pay-to-play activities like zip lines arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being actively pursued. The latest new venture has been dog-obedience classes that were tested this summer at Pacific Spirit Regional Park. The classes are to be offered at six parks next year and are projected to turn an annual profit of $28,000 for Metro. Dog-bath services are being eyed and Metro intends to take over the tent-rental business in its parks, a service previously handled by private operators.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;grander proposalâ&#x20AC;? for enhanced park services is being considered, but Martin would not say what it is, except it would likely be located in Campbell Valley Regional Park. The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks now generate enough revenue to offset nine per cent of operating costs and Metro aims to boost that to 15 per cent over the next 10 years. Elaine Golds, spokesperson for the Burke Mountain Naturalists, is concerned the plan is vague and that expanded private sector initiatives could allow commercial farming of park land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really concerned weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see negative impact on wildlife,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has an economic strategy in it, an opportunity with the private sector, without spelling things out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with files from Diane Strandberg

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Flamenco movement has come far in 10 years sight W lines Alex Browne

atching the 10th annual Flamenco del Mar Festival at the Coast Capital Playhouse earlier this month, it was evident that, more than viewing an isolated performance, I was witnessing the latest step in the evolution of a family. That family is undeniably the creation of instructor and artistic director Jill Tunbridge, guiding light of the Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Studio. In addition to providing her own powerful spontaneity as a solo dancer in the festival, over the course of a decade she has succeeded

in planting and carefully nurturing the seeds of an authentic flamenco tradition in our own backyard. Long gone are the days when this studio showcase simply presented students gamely attempting to follow flamenco choreography. Now, even a casual viewer sees performers for whom the lightbulb has turned on; who are understanding and feeling the way to express themselves through the idiom. If, sometimes, the results are raw and unpolished, they are not joyless, sterile exercises in technique. The work is

real and in-the-moment, close to the heart of true flamenco. Although circumstances had reduced the number of performers on stage for this year’s event, the increased exposure of those who remained showed an even clearer picture of how far Flamenco del Mar has come. Longtime troupe dancers Alessia Haney, Rhona Segarra and Helen Fehrenberg, for example, showed in both their solo and group dances that they are mastering the dynamics of the endlessly challenging dance and musical form.

At the Sept. 2 performance of the two-night festival, Haney demonstrated her mettle by capably surviving a sound miscue in her opening number, a Clasico de Jerez, and continued to offer compelling work throughout the evening. Segarra performed her most challenging solo to date, a Guajira, with great strength and grace, complimented by the vocals of Fehrenberg, who in addition to being an accomplished dancer is developing into a notable cantaor, or flamenco singer. � see page 36

Historical work at art show

Painting the past Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Such well-known artists as South Surrey’s Chris MacClure and Brent Heighton, and Langley’s Brian Croft, are among those featured in the second annual The West Is Best Fine Art Show, taking place Sept. 16- 18 at the ranch of Senator Gerry St. Germain and his wife Margaret (Indian Springs Land and Cattle Company, 19339 8 Ave.). Created by St. Germain and artist Murray Phillips as a showcase for western Canadian artists, it’s also a fundraiser for aboriginal education through the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation (NAAF). Last year’s event raised $60,000, and this year’s target is to exceed $100,000. Many of the 16 artists involved – which include Andrew Kiss and Vance Theoret – are top sellers at the Calgary Stampede Western Art Show. And there’s also a hint of the western, a lot of history – and a nod to a North American legend – in the new work by Croft, The Capitol Theatre Granville Street – 1956, which will be launched at the opening of the show Friday, 7-10 p.m. An expert in meticulously detailed, evocative land and cityscapes that re-imagine landmarks of the Lower Mainland as they must have looked in decades past, Croft has depicted the theatre on Dec. 1, 1956, shortly after the western movie Love Me Tender – starring new musical sensation Elvis Presley – opened in Vancouver. To help him launch the new painting, and series of prints, Croft has enlisted veteran broadcaster Red Robinson, who MCed the Dec. 1 shows 55 years ago, to appear at the opening of The West Is Best. “There is absolutely nothing better than

Cyclist battles tough racing schedule at provincial championships

Shankland scoops medals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

When South Surrey track cyclist Jamie Shankland headed to Victoria on the Labour Day long weekend, it was far from a leisurely trip to the provincial capital. In fact, with four races in three days, Shankland’s weekend was one of the most grueling of his summer. Shankland was in Victoria for track cycling provincials, and though he came home with a handful of medals, it was far from easy. On the first day of the competition, he and two teammates, brothers Eric and Scott Mulder, won gold in the team sprint competition, winning the one-km race – in which each rider races one third of the distance – by 7.5 seconds. “We absolutely smashed it,” Shankland said. The following day, Shankland picked up a silver medal in the spring tournament – a grueling series of two-lap (each lap is 333 m) races. He insists he could have taken first place, if it wasn’t for a mental mistake on his part. “I made a bit of a judgement error – I was in the wrong gear, and it slowed me down,” he said. After so many races in just two days, Shankland said he was run-

Jamie Shankland won a handful of medals at B.C. championships.

ning out of energy by the third and final day of the competition – “I was definitely feeling the fatigue,” he said – but he still had enough power left in his legs to end up on the podium twice more. In the two-km long keirin, a six- to eight-man race in which cyclists are led for the first 1,400-m by a pace motorcycle, Shankland avoid a near-catastrophe to finish second. “After you get pulled around by the (motorcycle), you’re rolling

at 50 kilometres an hour, and eventually everyone goes out and it turns into a six-man mess,” he said. “It can be a bit of an anxiety attack.” Partway through the race, Shankland went to pass one cyclist, who didn’t see him and instead plowed right into Shankland’s bike, sending him right off the course. Shankland was able to recover, however, and battled back to finish with silver – just one centimetre behind the rider that knocked him. “Bit of a close call – I’m lucky I didn’t end up with my ass on the concrete, but it still sucks crossing the line that close to someone,” he said. Shankland won his final provincial race, taking gold in the 1,000 m kilo – his signature event. “I was tired, so I used it more to experiment with different gears, and to test my conditioning, he said. “But it was still nice that I was able to win.” Shankland, who works at Velocity Cycles in Langley, is currently taking a bit of a competitive break while he ponders his next move. A rider with Team BC, he’s sorting out some sponsorships and, once settled, will likely spend the fall and winter months training in either Los Angeles or Australia.

High-tech homes are not so unusual anymore

Demystifying the technology terms Life is full of technological innovation, and your new home is no exception. For homeowners who keep up with the latest trends, that technology on the list of features your new home developer provides will be easily understood. But what if those terms are unfamiliar to you? One such term that is often sprinkled among the features is “pre-wired” or “roughed-in.” According to Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, this refers to a home that has already had wires run throughout it prior to the drywall being installed. These wires can be used for anything that a homeowner could need, from television to security systems. “The wires are where they need to be should the owner decide to get that option,”

Rente says. “If it wasn’t pre-wired, it would be time-consuming and could be expensive to run the wires.” The type of wire most often used in homes is called cat5e, another term that appears often on features lists. “Cat5 is the Swiss Army knife of wire. If you don’t know what to run, cat5 will do it for you,” says Rente. This type of wire can run everything from speakers to Internet, as long as the proper adapters are in place. The final term is “central vacuum.” Rente says that this refers to a centrally located vacuum system that includes a series of pipes throughout the walls that allow you to plug in a vacuum hose anywhere in the house. “No more lugging a canister!” he says.

‘Every urban amenity that you could possibly need you can walk to’

Elements serves up spice of life in Langley by Colin Oswin

Homebuyers who want a little of everything will feel right at home in Langley’s Elements development. Elements, from Sandhill Developments, will incorporate six separate buildings with condo units in 14 different configurations. The Langley Power Centre is located across the street, which provides a bonanza of shopping, including grocery, clothing, electronics home decor and drug stores within walking distance. And right behind Elements, residents will find a link to Langley’s parks system. Jamie Squires, marketing manager for Fifth Avenue Marketing, says Elements will combine bustling urban shopping with the serenity of natural parks all in one place. “Every urban amenity that you could possibly need you can walk to,” she says, “but if you walk the other way you’re in park land.” The first building, scheduled for completion in fall 2012, will house 75 units, including studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den and twobedroom suites. Each suite will have a walk-out balcony or patio, and Squires says some of the irregular units will

have extra balcony space or even full additional patios. The first release has smaller suites – including 11 studio units at 446 square feet along with one-bedroom suites at 563 square feet and two-bed, two-bath units at 843 square feet – but Squires notes the average size will get bigger over the course of the development. Although 446 square feet might sound small, Squires says Sandhill wanted to show potential buyers what could be done with the space – especially since studios are relatively new to the Langley market. That’s why this floorplan was chosen as one of the show units. “We wanted to give new local people a chance to get into the housing market,” she says, noting that studios at Elements are 100 square feet bigger than a typical studio downtown. “You have to see it to believe it, so that’s what we did.” The studios pack a lot into a small package. The kitchens are loaded with storage, while an island holds the sink, dishwasher and garbage disposal. The living rooms come with a nice entertainment feature (standard in all Elements units): each one has a recess

built in to the wall to accommodate a flat screen TV, which helps to save space and reduce clutter. The nine-foot ceilings, combined with big, bright windows, bring an airy touch while adding to the sense of expanded space. The one-bedroom units take the design of the studios and add more of the same – the major difference being the wall-to-wall carpeting that acts as a counterpoint to the hardwood laminate flooring found in the living area. Back in the kitchen, buyers will find countertops that end with a side waterfall – with the granite flowing over the edge into a vertical slab that extends to the floor. Squires says this feature brings a classy flourish to the decor while adding a practical touch:

it’s easier to clean. Buyers at Elements will also have the use of an amenities space, called the Trilogy Club. It will have a fitness centre and lounge, as well as a karaoke dance floor, guest suites and even a fire pit. Movie buffs will be able to invite the gang over to the club’s screening room, while business people can use the meeting room for conferences. “It helps build a foundation for our community when people spend time together,” she says, noting that wellstocked amenity centres like the Trilogy Club also help homes hold their value. Homes at Elements start at $149,900. For more information, check out elementsinlangley.com or call 604-533-7718.

“

We wanted to give new local people a chance to get into the housing market,” says marketing manager for Fifth Avenue Marketing Jamie Squires.
