Legion lauds young Elgin artist Sarah Massah Black Press

An Elgin Park Secondary student’s poster has been chosen from more than 100,000 entries as the winner of a national contest held by the Royal Canadian Legion. The legion announced 14-year-old Mu Quing Kuang as the intermediate-level winner of their 2011 Colour Poster and Literary contest on Oct. 14. This is the first time a South Surrey stu-

dent has ever won a prize of this magnitude, said Percy Smith, vice-president of the legion’s Crescent branch. “It’s an honour to him, but it’s also an honour to us because (the community) can produce a boy like that and for a young boy to come up with something like this – that not only shows his imagination but it shows how talented he is,” Smith said. Kuang said he was caught off guard by the big win as the poster was just the second

one he had attempted. “The first one I did was not so good, so I went back and thought of the elements that are important (to veterans) and made this,” he said. “I was really surprised this happened – I never thought it would. I’m really happy.” Kuang’s poster shows the silhouette of soldier carrying an injured or dead soldier with the Canadian flag at the top, with Mu Quing Kuang see page A4 Elgin Park student

Financial issues cited

Chamber axes all-candidates civic meetings Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce will not host any all-candidates’ meetings in the lead-up to the Nov. 19 municipal election. The move is part of efforts to get the organization’s financial affairs in order, interim executive director Doug Hart said Friday. Four meetings – two in White Rock and two in South Surrey – scheduled for next month have been cancelled. ❝The bottom “To put someline is we thing on like that, were going is a tremendous of work,” to lose a fair amount Hart said. “The amount of bottom line is we money.❞ were going to lose a fair amount of Doug Hart money. I just ran volunteer the numbers and it just was not right that we should put it on this year. Running things on a loss-basis isn’t fair to our members.” Financial struggles were cited last week in cuts made to four chamber employees’ hours and the elimination of executive director Cori Lynn Germiquet’s position. In announcing the move, chamber president Jay Fettinger noted changes in the economy forced the “difficult and immediate” decisions. see page A4

Huge potential for serious injuries or death, say police

Five arrested in road-rage rollover Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Dangerous driving – fueled by a business disagreement – led to a roll-over crash and five arrests in South Surrey Saturday. Police say it’s “a miracle” no one was killed in the road-rage incident. It ended shortly before noon, when a red Ford Expedition came to a rest on its roof in a ditch on the west side of King George Boulevard, near 40 Avenue. “Playing bumper cars down a major roadway in our city, it’s reckless,” Cpl. Drew Grainger

Support Your Local Economy Spend Your Money At Home

said. “There was huge potential for serious injuries there.” The incident began shortly after 11 a.m. Oct. 15, at a restaurant near 152 Street and Highway 10, when a disagreement between two parties apparently led to threats. Police say both groups left the area in SUVs, and reports of dangerous driving started coming in soon after. The first was regarding erratically driven vehicles southbound on King George, near Colebrook Road. Another came from the 48-yearold driver of one of the SUVs, who reported his

vehicle was being hit by another SUV. At the crash site, near the on-ramp to Highway 99, dents could be seen on the sides and rear bumper of a grey Lexus. One passerby said it looked as if the vehicle had been sideswiped. Grainger said the driver of the Ford – a 25-year-old Vancouver resident – may face criminal and Motor Vehicle Act charges in connection with the incident. All of the Ford’s occupants were arrested at the scene for uttering threats; both drivers were detained; and, one person was treated for minor injuries.

news First fundraiser for Equitas Society attracts 250 supporters

Group aims to improve hurt soldiers’ treatment They sat quietly in the corner of a room that overflowed with more than 250 supporters of Equitas Society and considered the levels of justice, fairness and equity that injured soldiers like them experience. Formed just three weeks ago, the Equitas Society was holding its first fundraiser Friday at Hazelmere Golf Club, MC’d by Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg. While the evening was considered a financial success, it was a rude awakening for some just learning about financial compensation for wounded members of Canada’s military. Lawyer Don Sorochan was quick to put a fine point on the disparity between settlements in civil cases and the level of financial support afforded soldiers. Sorochan said he first learned of the compensation when his neighbour, a soldier with shattered legs, brought him a letter from the Canadian Military that congratulated the young man for what amounted to “winning a lottery.” The letter advised the injured soldier to take the enclosed $14,000 cheque and seek financial advice on how best to invest or spend it. “There are so-called slip-and-sue cases that are settled for $256,000 and that involves a grape on the floor of a supermarket,” Sorochan told the crowd, which included injured veterans. Sorochan’s firm, Miller Thompson in Surrey, plans to mount a Charter challenge – pro bono – on behalf of affected soldiers. He explained fundraising will be needed to cover an estimated $200,000 in disbursements. Equitas has raised $18,000 to date. “Mustn’t it be questioned what part of the cost of the injuries are being borne by the soldier?” Sorochan asked. “It must be borne by all of us.” John Allen Fraser, Speaker of the House of Parliament from 1986-1993, told the gathering that he doesn’t know what’s going

news ‘Occupy Surrey’ issues warning to mayor

Surrey RCMP plan for anti-Bush protest Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A large crowd of protesters is expected to greet former U.S. president George W. Bush in Surrey Thursday as he prepares to address this city’s annual economic conference. RCMP are anticipating hundreds of protesters and say 104 Avenue near 152 Street will likely be shut down to accommodate the crowd. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said this year’s Surrey Regional Economic Summit has drawn extra attention because of public reaction to Bush – much of it negative. “We’ve had to develop a robust and very structured operational plan to address some

of the potential issues with that,” Grainger said, noting the city has arranged to have an area for people to peacefully demonstrate, as allowed under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That area will be announced closer to the event. Police were closely watching a protest this weekend called “Occupy Vancouver,” which is modelled after “Occupy Wall Street,” where people in the U.S. protested the economy by camping out in the financial district of New York. As of press time Monday, Occupy Vancouver had been a peaceful event. This month, a Twitter post is calling for an “Occupy Surrey” event at Surrey’s summit. Grainger said police are aware of the group.

Mayor Catherine Ferguson challenges community leaders to create a world-class tourist draw, linking the waterfront to Five Corners.

Shock expressed in Ferguson’s final state-of-city address

Invest in waterfront: outgoing mayor Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The city of White Rock has a bolder and brighter future ahead. But it needs to invest more in developing a plan for the waterfront – including reinstating free winter parking – and co-operate with Surrey for mutual economic benefit. That was the upbeat message delivered by Mayor Catherine Ferguson in her valedictory state-of-the-city address at a South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce meeting Wednesday at Hazelmere Golf Club. Ferguson – who will not run for re-election next month and who announced last week she will become executive director of the White Rock Hospice Society in February – drew a full house of business representatives and local movers and shakers. Ferguson told the group that White Rock – which she called a “small city with a big heart” – is “poised for positive growth” as it enters the final quarter of 2011. In spite of a relentless U.S. recession and other challenges, there are 808 entrepreneurs currently operating a business in the city, she said. “Our economy is on the threshold of an

upswing,” she said. “The most obvious sign of this is the large yellow crane at work high above the skyline.” The Avra project, currently under construction, and the next phase of the Miramar development, due next year, will add 252 condominium residences located close to White Rock businesses, Ferguson said. She drew applause when she noted that new housing units in the city this year have shown a 65 per cent upswing over last year. But Ferguson said she is shocked that the apparent resurgence of life in the town centre – part of her vision of a vibrant people- and culture-friendly city – is not mirrored in its “most valued and admired asset”: the waterfront. “We absolutely must invest the same energy and time into a plan for White Rock’s beautiful seaside,” she said. “It must become a powerful year-round, regional tourism destination.” Ferguson also envisioned a connection between the waterfront and the Five Corners area that could be, in itself, a tourist draw, she challenged the community to come up with a solution as creative as Quebec City’s gondola, Seattle’s Pike Street hill climb or Boston’s Beacon Hill art walk.

Ferguson also won applause when she added that parking near the waterfront should be free during the winter season. Ferguson had praise for cost savings the city had achieved through is core-service review, and the new image created by the My City By The Sea branding task force, and said a revitalization tax-exemption program instituted by the city is already beginning to help encourage business property upgrades. She said the Business Needs Assessment commissioned by the city and the BIA has shown that, “White Rock must stay focused on what we do best: unique restaurants, specialty retail and neighbourhood-oriented businesses.” While big-box stores don’t fit the character of the city, she added, big chain stores at Morgan Crossing and Grandview Heights should be looked at as a positive; drawing shoppers into the Peninsula who can then be encouraged to discover White Rock boutiques and cafés. She noted that she and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts have already started both city staffs exploring “synergies” between White Rock’s town centre and the Semiahmoo Centre area. “We must work with Surrey to benefit from it,” Ferguson said.

The race to run White Rock and Surrey city halls is on, with four people vying for the mayor’s seat in White Rock and eight in Surrey. Nominations closed Friday. The top chair in White Rock is being sought by Coun. Lynn Sinclair, businessman Larry Anschell, former city manager Wayne Baldwin and Angelo Megla. The winner will replace Mayor Catherine Ferguson, who has announced she is leaving politics and is set to become executive director of the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. Surrey candidates hoping to put incumbent Dianne Watts out of office are Viramjit Bajwa, Ross Buchanan, Touraj Ghanbar-zadeh, Clifford Inimgba, Sudarshan (Shan) Rana, Joginder Singh Randhawa and Deanna Welters. Citizens heading to the polls Nov. 19 will also have a wide selection of councillors to choose from, with 14 candidates eying six seats in White Rock and 27 registered to take a crack at Surrey’s eight spots. Councillor hopefuls in White Rock are Brad Forster, Larry Robinson, Bruce McWilliam, Cliff Annable, Dave Chesney, Graham Wood, Barry Belec, Steven Hughes, Roger Emanuels and Louise Hutchinson, along with incumbent Couns. Mary-Wade Anderson, Grant Meyer, Al Campbell and Helen Fathers. Annable and Hutchinson have both previously held council seats. While former councillor James Coleridge told Peace Arch News this month that he was contemplating another run, a lateafternoon email Friday confirmed his name will not be on the ballot. Coleridge – ousted by B.C. Supreme Court in 2009 – cited the time he’d have to sacrifice away from his family and his Vancouver gelato business as deciding factors. In Surrey, councillor candidates are Kuldip Ardawa, Lawrence Chen, Doug Elford, Rina Gill, Kuljinder Singh Gill, Paul Griffin, Bruce Hayne, Judy Higginbotham, Gary Hoffman, Bernadette Keenan, Imtiaz Popat, Grant Rice, Gary Robinson, Mike Robinson, Stephanie Ryan, Partap Bir Singh, Susan Thomas, John Milton see page A4

Blood spilled ‘represents peace’ from page A1 a trail of blood that turns into bright red poppies. “My idea is that every drop of blood the soldier bleeds, every effort they give out, we receive peace so the poppy is the symbol of peace,” said Kuang. The most important part of having contests such as this one is to get the youth interacting with veterans and learning about

their history and the sacrifices they have made for the country, said Smith. “There is no point in talking to somebody about what you did or what it means, but if you can show them and then they put it into words and prose or into a poster, it will show what their feelings are,” Smith said. “One of the principle things we do now is work to pass the torch

onto the young people because they are the ones who are going to take our place.” Each year the contest is held with the submissions chosen regionally, then nationally in Ottawa.

news Family wants those responsible for attack charged with senior’s death

Grandfather dies two weeks after brutal beating Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Two weeks after a brutal beating involving baseball bats, an 80-year-old man is dead, and family members want the thugs who carried out the attack charged to the fullest extent of the law. The violence began Sept. 20 in the 11700-block of 95A Avenue in North Delta, when 48-yearold David McDonald took his three Jack Russell terriers for a walk. A pair of teens heading down the road in the opposite direction fanned out, forcing McDonald and his dogs off the road. McDonald said, “Hey, would it hurt you guys to show some common sense and share some of the road?” Gerald McDonald Soon after, four people victim appeared at M c D o n a l d ’s home. Some began taking baseball bats to two of the cars on the property. McDonald and his 80-year-old father, Gerald, came out of the home and confronted the group. A 16-year-old girl punched the octogenarian in the face, and he responded by hitting her. And that’s when the bats were turned on him. He was beaten badly to the arms and lower body. Four alleged attackers – including a 54-year-old man, a 16-year-old and two older teens – were arrested by police at the scene. Hailey Melissa McDonald, 19, said Thursday that her Harley-riding grandfather looked 20 years younger than his age, and he had the energy to match. That changed after the beating.

Patrick Stacey and Hailey McDonald want those responsible for beating their grandfather punished to the full extent of the law. “I get up to take a couple of steps, and I feel as weak as a kitten,” Gerald told his son, Hailey said. “He just didn’t talk like that.” Two days after the beating, Gerald suffered a minor heart attack. Then two weeks later, he had a massive heart attack and died. Gerald’s grandson, Patrick Stacey, and Hailey believe the attack and his subsequent death are inextricably linked. It’s something not lost on

police. Initial recommendations of assault charges were pulled back by investigators when Gerald McDonald died. Police are waiting for a coroner’s report to determine if the beating and death are linked. If so, more charges may be recommended. The coroner’s report is expected in the next month or so. Meanwhile, Delta police say the investigation is continuing.

Abuzz with caffeine

nsomnia, anxiety, allergic reactions, palpitations and withdrawal. Is this a list of symptoms from an illegal drug? No, it’s what adults have known for years are the downsides of drinking too much coffee and tea. Unfortunately, now the kids are emulating their parents by drinking energy drinks that typically have twice the caffeine of regular pop and just about as much as a cup of drip coffee. The kids think these drinks are cool, their logos are eye-catching and they are easy to get at corner stores and grocery outlets. A single can of Red Bull or even Monster falls within Health Canada guidelines for caffeine consumption for older teens, but what happens if two or more are drunk in a day? Teens may then face some of the health concerns that adults face when they drink too much coffee. Should the government have taken a tougher stance and prevented these drinks from being sold anywhere but pharmacies? It’s hard to say. The more adults try to regulate teen behaviour, the more challenges they face. And the fact that caffeine is mildly addictive is not lost on companies marketing their products to kids in new and innovative ways. The popularity of these beverages among teens looking for a light buzz is reminiscent of the older generations’ interest in cigarettes. For teens, water is just plain boring, pop is old-school and so is juice, although neither are great as they are typically full of sugar. Of course, energy drinks are not as bad as cigarettes and legions of adults are drinking caffeinated beverages without too many side effects. But are we comfortable with kids picking up an energy drink at lunch or on the way home from school? Probably not. At the very least, parents should be educating themselves as to what their children are ingesting. Health Canada’s suggested limits for daily caffeine intake are roughly 2.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. This guideline will mean little or nothing to the average kid looking for a bit of a buzz and acceptance among his peers. But parents can at least use the new content disclosure rules to find out whether their kids’ drinks measure up.

89 responding bureaucratic, and it plays against the idea that we’re in a real negotiation.” With a majority government in Ottawa, and B.C. MP John Duncan as federal aboriginal affairs minister, there is hope of movement. And there is action on another front. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq was in B.C. last week to sign an agreement to hand over authority and funding for on-reserve health programs to a new aboriginal authority that will work with the provincial health system directly to administer reserve health programs. This will end a parallel health system run by Ottawa on reserves. A similar agreement was signed in 2006 for aboriginal schooling. Alas, five years later, there is still wrangling between the First Nations Education Steering Committee and Ottawa over funding. But I’m told there is progress there, with resolution possible by the end of this year. Sto:lo Tribal Chief Doug Kelly, chair of the First Nations Health Council, says its financing terms are clear, and dealing Ottawa out of health care delivery will improve outcomes. B.C. Health Minister Mike de Jong and Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak agree that these broader self-government transfers for health and education, along with forest and mining deals, will bring treaties closer. Pierre’s blunt warning must have been heard in Ottawa. It appears the Sliammon treaty has been located and will receive federal blessing this week.

Smart decision to delay meters Editor: The BC Liberal government has failed us again, just like they did with the HST. This time the situation is more serious, given the health concerns connected to smart meters. And yet the mandate by government was still made without any public consultation whatsoever. Premier Christy Clark’s comments after the UBCM voted for a moratorium on smart meters in order to have time to investigate legitimate health concerns were not only arrogant, they were incorrect. First, while she gave herself time to research and ask questions, she did not afford this same luxury to citizens. Second, she clearly did not examine evidence from the World Health Organization, who list electromagnetic fields from smart meters as a possible carcinogen. She also said electromagnetic fields are already in our lives, so more shouldn’t matter. While it is true cellphones and wireless Internet access give off these waves, people still have a choice to use a cell or to have wireless, or to frequent establishments with wireless. With the increase in electromagnetic fields comes further evidence of its harmful effects. More people find they suffer from electrohypersensitivity, which the Canadian Human Rights Commission recognizes as an environmental sensitivity. Why should the opinion of one person overrule the opinions of at least two major organizations and the voices of thousands across the province? Amanda Driedger, Surrey Q When I first learned of smart meters in 2009, I called BC Hydro to let them know the radiation would be deleterious to my medical condition. I was told BC Hydro was aware some people are sensitive to radiofrequency radiation, and engineers were working on options. In 2010, I was again assured BC Hydro was committed to accommodating those individuals known to be affected by this type of radiation, and that if engineers could find a way for me to keep my analogue meter, they would. Forward to 2011 and a 180-degree shift in policy. BC Hydro is no longer willing to recognize even the word of my medical doctor that I must avoid radiofrequency radiation. I have gone from reassuring promises to wondering whether I will have my electricity cut off because of my medical restrictions. I am grateful to the municipal delegates at the UBCM who voted for a province-wide moratorium on the smart-meter program until a safe alternative is available. A. Churchill, Surrey Q An open letter to Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg. It is with great concern that I find we are legislated to have smart meters installed on our homes. The health effects could be

significant. This according to the World Health Organization, this body having recently classified the emissions from wireless devices, which include wireless smart meters, as possibly carcinogenic to humans, in the same category as DDT, car exhaust, chloroform, dry cleaning chemicals, welding fumes, lead… As well, the taxpayers could be spared the huge cost of having this installation stopped; it will most certainly have to be stopped or uninstalled – as it has in other jurisdictions – when more information became available. Dorothy Randall, Surrey

to come of this, but lo and behold Const. S. Park turned up within 30 minutes. I was amazed, since I wasn’t really expecting even a phone call, let alone such quick service. He was pleasant and took the additional information and promised to phone me when he had some result. Again I did not expect much, but again lo and behold he phoned me back and said he had the missing items and would have them returned immediately. Now that’s service! After all the negative publicity the RCMP get and my own lack of faith, I felt I should commend them – Const. Park, in particular – on a job well done. Laurence Gill, Surrey

They exceeded Results differ expectations for complaints Editor: A couple of weeks ago, I noticed some valuable auto parts missing from behind my garage. I phoned the RCMP and they took the details but did not promise much, as they had nothing to go on. I subsequently talked to neighbours and received information as to where it went, so I phoned the RCMP again. The operator there said she would have an officer phone me. I didn’t really expect anything

Editor: Re: An obvious direction, Sept. 29; Only some voices heard, Sept. 22. To add to recent letters in the paper, what is with the empty diesel buses running around White Rock – more so on Thrift Avenue – spewing black soot and noise from air brakes. The 351 travels to the park and ride, then to Crescent Beach and back again. This goes on until 3:15

a.m. and starts again at 4:30. The buses on Thrift Avenue are 98.9 per cent empty. In the last month – since the buses were protested on Foster Street – the 321 is also now on Thrift and is also empty. I thought White Rock had clean air. My white drapes are now gray. The roof-top fans in our condo are blowing soot out into the hallways, which is very unhealthy. Thrift Avenue is like living by a freeway. Has anyone thought of shuttles from the park and ride to Crescent Beach – with full-size buses, from 5-7 a.m. and at 5-7 p.m., if they are full of riders? These shuttles, instead of the 321, 351 and 345 from the park and ride could handle the hours that are not rush-hour. I have personally complained to TransLink for 11 years; my complaints have fallen on deaf ears. The air in our city would not be so polluted or noisy. And the people living on Thrift Avenue would not have to wear earplugs to sleep. I feel all residents of the city should have the same results from city council when complaints are made. The fact that the buses were promptly removed from Foster Street after residents complaints leads me believe that not all taxpayers get the same consideration. T. Haddow, White Rock

Editor: Re: WinFall lottery at ‘dire’ risk of losing money, Oct. 13. The WinFall Lottery has raised $25 million for Peace Arch Hospital over its 15-year history. Consistently, the WinFall Lottery has made a profit. The funds have been used to purchase vital medical equipment. Many people in our community have been – and are – benefiting from this lottery. This year, however, for the first time its history, the lottery is at risk of not breaking even. With approximately one-third of the tickets sold – as of Oct. 13 – and with ticket sales closing this Wednesday, we are working hard to try to bring the lottery a successful close. I am appealing to everyone in our community who has the means to purchase WinFall Lottery tickets. If you purchase tickets and are the lucky grand-prize winner, you will win a beautiful home in South Surrey’s Elgin Park, a luxury car and $50,000 – or $1.7 million tax-free cash. In all, there are more than 1,700 prizes to be won. When you purchase tickets, you are also investing in something – I believe – you value: excellence in community health care. We all have a vested interest in

keeping our community healthy, strong and vibrant. We re-entered the lottery market this year after a oneyear break, with research indicating a strong consumer interest in such a lottery. What happened? It could be a number of things: more consumer choice, bigger and better prize packages may be contributing factors. Some people have asked me why the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation takes the kind of financial risk inherent in a major home lottery. For 15 years, WinFall has provided a reliable source of revenue. The good that flows from it to the community in the form of life-saving, life-enhancing medical equipment has clearly been our motivating factor. I am asking for your help. If you have the means, will you buy a WinFall Lottery ticket? If you don’t have the means, you can help us by spreading the word to your family and friends on Facebook and Twitter. I am an optimist at heart and believe that together we can bring this lottery to a successful close. Tickets are available online at www.WinFallLottery.ca, or by calling 604-436-5690, 1-855-205-5690 toll free. Jane Manning, PAHCHF board chair

Two children killed in motorhome fire

BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN One Boy at a Time At St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, we see the potential for greatness in every boy who makes the commitment to learning and achievement.

Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Two children of a Surrey man were burned to death in a motorhome in Lytton last week. On Wednesday, a motorhome in Lytton caught fire with two children and their grandparents, who are in their mid-50s, inside. The adults were awoken by smoke detectors and two barking dogs. The fire took place in the front of the vehicle, where the two children, a four-year-old boy and a girl, five, were sleeping. The adults carried the children to the back of the motorhome where they passed the children out the side windows of the unit. Once the children were out, the woman collapsed inside and had to be rescued by employees of the grandfather. All four were taken to Royal Inland

Police say they have determined the fire is not suspicious. The Lytton RCMP continues to assist the BC Coroners Services with their investigation into the cause of death of the two children. Names of the deceased and those of the injured couple have not been released by the investigating agencies at this time.

it. Council acquiesced and started a process of re-examining all single family residential (RF) zones, with the possibility of increasing square footage from 3,550 square feet to 4,550. The increase in size could render most of the unauthorized expansions legal, so long as an engineer or qualified professional signs off on the work. MacFarlane said the city sometimes uses Section 57 of the Community Charter to put a note on the property, which makes it difficult to obtain financing or to sell it. But Surrey finds it more beneficial to cycle the offenders through the courts if they can’t get compliance. He encourages anyone who knows of it to call city hall at 604591-4011.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Halloween-themed Peace Arch Hospital fundraiser returns Oct. 23

Peninsula patients have plenty to run for Nick Greenizan

Staff Reporter

f you were to scan the crowded start line at the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation’s annual Great Pumpkin Run/Walk this weekend, you’d no doubt see a varied group. Some, of course, are there because it’s a chance to get out for a run, or a brisk walk; others are there because they’ve spent time in the hospital, or have had a relative or friend who have. Then there are others who, considering it’s a Halloween-themed event, simply use the Pumpkin Run as a chance to dress up and get a little festive. But most have something else in common – a desire to give back to a hospital that holds a dear place in their hearts. “Well I don’t do it because I’m a fitness freak, that’s for sure,” said Norm Rutherford, who suffers from a heart condition called atrial fibrillation and will be participating in his second run this year. “But I’ve probably been in the Peace Arch emergency room six times in the last 10 years, and each time, I’ve seen someone who has taken care of me. And now it’s my turn to take care of it – this is my way of giving back.” Rutherford is far from the only one who feels that way – last year, an estimated 400 people took part in the event. This year’s Pumpkin Run, which is set for Sunday, Oct. 23, has both one-

“The community is really, really lucky to have this hospital.” As in past years, de Montreuil will be participating again Sunday, running the five-km route. “And I hate it,” he laughed. “It’s a tough route – there’s a lot of hills.” While the main focus of Sunday’s event is raising money for the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation – runners collect pledges, while others donate online at the run website – it does still get a little competitive. Last year, Rutherford’s team of about a dozen participants – headed by Febe Galvez-Voth, who is in charge of marketing and communications for the PAHF – had a friendly challenge with another team, Jacob Bros. Construction, to see who could raise the most money. “Last year we beat them and they had to serve us dinner,” laughed Rutherford. “And they’re going to have to do it again, because we’re going to beat them this year, too.” For more on the run, visit www. greatpumpkinrunwalk.com

No matter what your photography needs are, Adrienne Thiessen is there for you. With Gemini Visuals Creative Photography you can choose from babies and families to ﬁtness and headshots.

Adrienne Thiessen

ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Wide range of photography styles. • Maternity photo sessions beneﬁting Peace Arch Hospital. • Periodic mini-sessions for people on the go.

Adrienne provides her clients with such a relaxed and comfortable photography experience, she becomes the go-to girl for all their milestones. “Some of my clients’ kids call me aunty. I get to be an honorary family member,” she says. “I don’t rush through a shoot. I want to make sure they get what they want out of it.” As a resident of South Surrey, Adrienne enjoys giving back to the community. One of her more frequent benefactors is Peace Arch Hospital. After opening her South Surrey studio Adrienne came up with an idea. In honour of Peace Arch’s new maternity ward, she is offering Peace Arch babies and their moms special packages. And $10 from each session will be donated back to the hospital. It doesn’t stop there. Throughout the year Adrienne offers 20-minute mini-sessions, with partial proceeds going to the hospital. The next available sessions are over the Remembrance Day weekend, Nov. 11 to 13. Don’t hesitate to call, spots are ﬁlling up quickly. Cherished memories are waiting to be captured. Cheris

Helen Janos opened the Surrey SureSlim Wellness Clinic in October 2004. Since then, Helen has helped scores of Peninsula residents correct their metabolism and lose weight safely, rapidly and permanently — without the use of invasive treatments.

Helen Janos

ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Lose weight quickly, safely and easily • Correct your metabolism • No invasive treatments • No pills, shakes or injections • No packaged foods • No excessive exercise

Helen, who initially discovered the SureSlim program as a client, was so impressed with how easily she lost 40 pounds (with a diagnosed under-active thyroid and no medication), she persuaded her husband, George, to open Surrey SureSlim so she could help others achieve the same incredible success. The program — which is individually tailored based on a person’s blood test results, as well as their food preferences, lifestyle and any prescription medications — includes a customized SureSlim eating plan and knowledgeable one-on-one counselling with a trained SureSlim Wellness Consultant. “Whatever your weight, the SureSlim program can help you lose a little or a lot,” said Helen. “I love seeing how clients lives are changed. It is both gratifying and inspiring.” “Unfortunately, we can’t choose our metabolism, but we can choose how we get it to work,” she adds. “Our goal is to teach our clients how to feed their body using normal food to balance certain hormones and correct their metabolism.”

The film was screened Wednesday at the Vancouver International Film Festival, where Grade 11 students Samantha Novecosky and Kaisen Jones and graduates Marc Doucelin, Shyanne Fast and Nana Desmond got to watch their own work. The film’s message, say the students, is simply about doing the right thing.

Thrifty’s co-founder dies after lengthy illness

File photo

Alex Campbell Sr.

Alex Campbell Sr. was a man who in his retirement gave more of himself and his accumulated wealth than most people expected. The Thrifty Foods co-founder, community booster and philanthropist passed away Oct. 11 at age 70, after a lengthy illness. His wife, Jo, remembered her husband as an “amazing man who loved life.” “He constantly gave of himself to improve the lives of others,” she

stated in a release. “He believed strongly in the importance of paying it forward – giving back in gratitude of what you have received. His dedication to outstanding community service stands as an example to us all, and he will be dearly missed.” The Victoria-born Campbell worked to help various charities on the Island after retiring from the grocery business, both in a leadership role and as a face for

fundraising efforts. He received numerous awards in the later stages of his professional career as well as in retirement, including the Order of British Columbia in 1999 and a 2011 Leadership Victoria award. He also was named distinguished entrepreneur of the year by the University of Victoria’s faculty of business, and was given an honourary doctorate of laws by UVic in 2009.

He co-founded Thrifty’s in 1977 with Ernie Skinner and helped guide the grocer to consistent growth on the Island and the Mainland, with 20 stores under the Thrifty Foods banner, including one at South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing. With Campbell as CEO of the grocery chain, the company was named one of Canada’s top 50 bestmanaged companies four years running. – Black Press

Kwantlen grad finds it easy being green

Travis Olson award winner

There’s a good reason that Travis Olson’s grass is looking a little greener these days. As a recent graduate of Kwantlen’s Turfgrass Management Diploma program, Travis has been named winner of the 2011 Canadian Golf Superintendents Association’s Toro “Future Superintendent Award.” “I feel very fortunate working for such great mentors as superintendent Neil Pilon and assis-

tant superintendent Alex Inglis, both of whom have had huge influences on my life and career,” said Olson. “There is no doubt in my mind that this experience has been the most important in my career to date.” As the winner, Olson will travel to Scotland and take part in a sixweek training and work experience program. He will also travel to Minneapolis to tour Toro’s headquarters

and attend the Canadian International Turfgrass Conference and Trade Show in Calgary next February as a guest of the Canadian Golf Superintendent’s Association. Toro will also award a personal computer to Kwantlen’s School of Horticulture in recognition of Olson’s achievement. “We’re all very proud of Travis’ achievements,” said David Davidson, associate dean of Kwantlen’s School of Horticulture.

“He’s a great representative of the high quality of students that are graduating from our programs. Travis and his instructors truly deserve all the recognition they’re receiving with this award.” Olson was also selected for the 2010 Western Canada Turfgrass Association Scholarship Award and the 2011 School of Horticulture award in recognition of his achievements. – Black Press

Concerns raised over Vidal Street project Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Bylaw amendments that would rezone three Vidal Street properties to permit two townhouse developments met with opposition during a public hearing on the White Rock projects earlier this month. Residents living near 1444, 1455 and 1465 Vidal St. told council Oct. 3 that the proposed projects raise concerns about traffic, street parking, the root systems of nearby trees and neighbour privacy. Petitions submitted also note that both projects exceed permitted lot coverage and height restrictions for the zoning requested. “If this goes ahead, they’ll almost be 30 feet over their back balcony… of the people that are living next door,” said one man, referring to the two-lot project. At 1444 Vidal, proponents are seeking to build a five-unit townhouse complex. An eight-unit project is proposed for the other two lots. All three lots are currently zoned one-unit residential. In explaining the projects, Paul Stanton, the city’s director of development services, noted both are proposed to have fewer units per acre than allowed by the new zoning, should the amendments be approved. Neighbour Jill Cowan said she is concerned about traffic in the area, and suggested that if the 1444 Vidal St. proposal goes ahead, the city look at widening or straightening the corner of Vidal Street, where it turns onto Vine Avenue. Cowan also noted a lack of street parking for visitors. She cited similar concerns regarding the complex proposed for 1455 and 1465 Vidal St., and noted the city needs to consider whether it can accommodate the

additional drain on services. “I understand we have to have progress, but we also have to have infrastructure,” she said. Architect Gerry Blonski spoke to both of the projects. Citing a pressure in White Rock to expand, Blonski described the 1444 Vidal St. complex as “quite small compared to what was there before.” It will also fit the character of the neighbourhood, Blonski said. Regarding the larger project, Blonski agreed to take a closer look at two trees on a neighbouring

garbage collection for the complex, as it was overlooked.

Later that night, during the regular council meeting, council gave third and final reading to an amendment allowing neighbouring 1466 Everall St. to be rezoned from one-unit residential to low-density, multiple-unit residential, to accommodate a five-unit strata townhouse development with an internal access lane. The thumbs-up cleared the way for consideration of a development variance permit application – requested by Saverio Lattanzio and Tejinder Dhillon – which also received unanimous

approval. The permit is for variances to the project’s setbacks, to allow for an architectural window column to project .23 metres into the front yard setback area; and to accommodate two of three proposed arbors. At a Sept. 19 public hearing on the zoning amendments, city clerk Tracey Arthur noted she hadn’t received any correspondence regarding the project. That same evening, no one spoke for or against it. Council next meets Oct. 24.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Two teams, two players rewarded for strong seasons

Renegades honoured at softball awards Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The White Rock Renegades hit a grand slam at the Softball BC awards banquet Saturday night in Richmond, with two teams and two players honoured for impressive seasons. For the second year in a row, the Renegades senior ‘A’ team was named senior team of the year by Softball BC, while the Renegades ’95 bantam team was named minor team of the year.

Two Peninsula players were also honoured, as senior ‘A’ Renegades’ second baseman Courtney O’Connor was named senior player of the year, and pitcher Sara Groenewegen, who played for the ’95 squad, was named minor player of the year. The senior team, coached by Wayne King, capped an impressive season with a second straight national title, going 4-2 in round-robin play at the Quebec tourney, before beating Whitby – who

they’d lost to in extra-innings in the round robin – in the championship game. The core of the senior squad, including O’Connor and national tournament playoff MVP Courtney Gill, have been playing together since 2006, and many longer. O’Connor, also an NAIA All-American playing for the UBC Thunderbirds after leading the team with a .425 batting average and 11 home runs, was

instrumental in leading the ’Gades to a fourth straight provincial crown; she hit a walk-off two-run homerun in the gold-medal game, and batted nearly .500 throughout the tournament. At nationals in Quebec, O’Connor hit .533 in the playoff round, and tied Gill for the RBI lead with five. She was as good in the field as she was at the plate, too – she did not make a single error at second base all tournament, teaming Courtney O’Connor player of year see page A26

Team second in conference

Eagles win pair at home Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles crept to within a single point of first place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference, after sweeping a two-game homestand on the weekend. On Friday, the Eagles, led by two goals from defenceman Steve Koshey, beat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 5-3, and followed up Saturday with a 5-4 win over the visiting Victoria Grizzlies. Surrey now sits second in the conference with 14 points – and a record of 6-1-0-2 – which is one behind the Powell River Kings, who’ve played two more games. “Getting two wins, ❝Going twogoing two-for-two, we’ll for-two, we’ll take that every time,” take that said Eagles coach Matt every time.❞ Erhart. “One of our goals this year was to get off Matt Erhart to a good start, and with Eagles coach just one regulation loss in nine games… so far, we’re happy, but we’ve got a ways to go yet.” On Friday, the Eagles didn’t get off to a great start against the Bulldogs – Alberni’s Justin Morello scored 17 seconds after opening puck drop – and they needed a strong third-period performance to earn the victory. After Morello’s opening tally, Koshey – on

Groenewegen ‘a force’ for Renegades from page A25 with shortshop Jess Hodge to form a strong double-play tandem up the middle. Making O’Connor’s season even more impressive was that she’d been off the diamond 10 months, after undergoing knee surgery 18 months ago. At the bantam level, Groenewegen was equally impressive, helping her ’95 team to a national title in Winnipeg. In the gold-medal game, Groenewegen earned the victory by pitching a seven-inning complete game with five strikeouts, and also hit a two-run home run

coach Chuck Westgard. “She was a force.” Westgard was also pleased to see his team honoured as the province’s minor team of the year. “We were the only minor team from B.C. to win a national title, so it’s nice for the girls to be recognized, for sure,” said Westgard, a four-time national titlewinning coach with the old Renegades ’91 team. “That ’91 team only ever won (team of the year) once, so this is really nice, as we move forward to the U18 (midget) division next season.”

Eagles score four power-play goals from page A25 “Ever since we got Steve last year, he’s really solidified our defence for us. He’s big on the power play and killing penalties, and he’s off to a real good start,” Erhart said. Andrew Hunt was between the pipes for the Eagles Friday, stopping 26 of 29 shots on net. The Surrey native got the call Saturday against Victoria, too, and was again solid, with 29 saves. Robert Lindores, who had an assist Friday, had a goal and assist Saturday night. South Surrey native Michael Stenerson – who

has eight points in nine games this year – Charles Orzetti, Brandon Morley and Ben Grenier rounded out the scoring. As has been the case for much of the season, the Eagles’ power play was in top form on the weekend, accounting for four of the Bird’s 10 goals. They were three-for-six with the man advantage Friday, and one-for-10 Saturday. For the season, the Eagles are sixth out of 16 teams, clicking at a 22.6 per cent success rate; they’ve also scored the thirdmost power-play goals in the BCHL, with 14.

They’re also second in the league on the penalty-kill, too, and are second only to Powell River with five shorthanded tallies. “Special teams is becoming more and more important at all levels of hockey, I think,” Erhart said. “And if you look at our numbers so far, that’s probably why were were able to get two wins this weekend.” This weekend, the Eagles head north for a three-game tour of the Interior Division, with stops in Merritt, Salmon Arm and Penticton.

Surrey United wins gold in Quebec whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Playing in the national championship tournament is nothing new for Surrey United. And while hoisting the Jubilee Trophy after six days of competition has proven to be a very difficult task in the past, the eight-time B.C. womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer champions did just that Oct. 10 in Brossard, Que. United, which had won just one national title in seven previous appearances, clinched their second with a 2-1 victory over Royal Select Beauport in the championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our girls came out determined to dictate the tempo,â&#x20AC;?

said United coach Jeff Clarke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our girls just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rattled.â&#x20AC;? Rachael Pelat gave Surrey a 1-0 lead with a goal in the 40th minute. Katie Thorlakson added what would be the winning goal from the penalty spot in the second half. Beauport scored a late goal, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crack the United defence to force overtime. United began play with a 5-2 win over Newfoundland and Labrador, with Pelat netting a pair and Alexandra Benes, Thorlakson and Nicole Stewart adding singles. A day later against Alberta, Benes, Thorlakson and April

Coffin were the goalscorers in a 3-1 win. Surrey ripped Manitoba 10-1 in their third contest, clinching a berth in the championship game. Chelsey Hannesson had a four-goal game, with Megan Blaker netting a hat trick. Coffin with two goals and Randee Hermus also scored. â&#x2013; ICST Pegasus almost made it a Surrey double in Brossard, but had to settle for a silver medal in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national championship tournament. Pegasus fell 2-0 to the Saskatchewan HUSA Alumni in the final, their only loss of the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The schedule is a bruising

one and we faced very tough quarterfinal and semifinal opponents, which did have an impact on us,â&#x20AC;? said Pegasus manager Sandy Sumra. Pegasus won their threeteam group in round-robin play, blanking Nova Scotia 2-0 then edging Saskatchewan 2-1 two days later, on two goals by David Morris. In the first game of the playoffs, Omari Aldrige scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only goal in a 1-0 win over Mont-Royal Outremont. Goals from Azad Palini and Niko Marcini lifted Pegasus to a 2-1 win over Holy Cross Kirby of Newfoundland and Labrador in the semifinal game.

OCTOBER 16-22, 2011 Managing a proﬁtable, fast-growing business

ll entrepreneurs face challenges in their businesses. But not all realize that information and communications technology offers affordable tools for better managing everything from inventory control and operations to accounting, human resources, communications and customer relationships. Chris O’Donohue didn’t want to be like those other landscapers, driving around eyeballing sites and coming up with job estimates that might – or might not – make his company any money. It wasn’t as big an issue when he started Great Canadian Landscaping back in 2000 with a single pickup truck and a few small contracts. However, when a contract is for a $200,000 backyard makeover, finding out that you’ve mistakenly underbid an estimate can cost you thousands of dollars. “At first, I didn’t realize that technology could provide the solution,” says O’Donohue, who has built Great Canadian into a bustling yearround business in North Vancouver, B.C., with 30 employees and eight trucks running in the high season. “It has taken the guesswork out of estimating and made our operations more efficient and productive.” Hunches can now be replaced with accurate information delivered in real time, equipping managers to make better decisions and improve their company’s performance. Entrepreneurs understand the need to invest strategically. A 2010 survey by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) found that most business owners plan to invest in new equipment, including ICT, as a way to improve productivity and remain competitive. Despite the benefits, too many entrepreneurs put off ICT investments, fearing it is too complicated, too expensive or not what they need. Cost is usually the biggest deterrent until entrepreneurs realize that most solutions are now software driven and affordable for even the smallest companies. Some are even free. To find out more, visit Business Development Bank of Canada’s website at www.bdc.ca Small Business Week began in 1979, when BDC business centres in the Lower Mainland pooled their resources to organize a series of business management training sessions. This first event and a follow-up event in 1980 were so successful that BDC officially launched Small Business Week across Canada in 1981. Small Business Week is a BDC flagship event that celebrates entrepreneurship at the local, provincial and national levels.

ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Locally owned and operated for over 39 years • Service and satisfaction guaranteed • 450-store buying power • Lowest price guarantee • Open 7 days a week • Easy credit terms • Free warranty registration • Professional and friendly delivery service

“The trends for fall are all about creating warm, inviting spaces,” say co-owners Henry and Allyson Chenier. “One of the hottest trends we’re seeing for Autumn 2011 is the use of darker colours, such as deep plum mixed with pewter. Cocoa and bronze is another popular combination. However, neutrals are still going strong when combined with a mix of textures on furnishings, ﬂoor coverings and window treatments.” In terms of accessories, Allyson says natural wood is a popular fall trend that helps warm up interior decor. “We’re also seeing a lot of exotic patterns and culturally-inspired accents that offer a unique, intercontinental feel, which works equally well with traditional and contemporary looks.” No matter what your particular taste or style, however, K&D’s local showroom is chock-full of the latest sofas, bedroom and dining room furniture, entertainment units, lighting, pictures and accessories, as well as the very best mattress sets and appliances from your favourite brand names, including Simmons, Danby, Inglis, Kitchen Aid, Whirlpool and Maytag. “We are part of a 450-store buying group, which gives us better buying power than some of the so-called ‘big-box’ stores,” said Henry. “So, while we’re able to offer a lowest price guarantee, we also have the ﬂexibility of purchasing for our own customers’ needs.”

Tucked in off King George Boulevard and 148th Street, K&D Furniture offers easy credit terms, along with FREE warranty registration, friendly, knowledgeable service and professional delivery. Add to that a great selection of reasonably priced furniture and it’s easy to understand why K&D has been a Peninsula favourite for over 39 years. “I believe our success comes from our commitment to do more than the others do,” said Henry. “One example is that we like to unpack and check everything ourselves before it goes out for delivery. That way, furniture doesn’t arrive in a box and there is no garbage left behind.” “We also take the time to educate staff on each product we sell,” added Allyson. “By doing so, it ensures that we can help our customers make an informed choice so they will be happy with their purchase over the long term.” A proud member of the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce, the Langley Chamber of Commerce and the Surrey Board of Trade, K&D carries all the famous brand name furniture lines including: Palliser, Stylus, Decor-rest, La-Z-Boy, Dutailier, Magnussen, Buhler, JW Woodcraft, B&G Furniture, Mazin and many more.

Are you still buying expensive, brand new replacement cartridges every time your printer runs low on ink or toner? Stop! There’s a new solution that will not only save your pocket book, but the environment too!

There is more to self storage than meets the eye. And current TV shows such as Storage Wars and Auction Hunters have raised the profile of such businesses to new heights. White Rock South Surrey U-Lock Mini Storage executive assistant Andrew Hutchinson remembers a few years ago, he would get blank looks when he mentioned self storage. But that was before reality shows encouraged people to search for the treasures found inside storage lockers. & Andrew “Now, people ask about self storage all the time! (Current shows) have really changed the general public’s perception,” Andrew says. “It’s really better than any commercial that has ever been done about self storage.” After Storage Wars and similar programs started airing, White Rock U-Lock started getting a lot more phone calls, emails and drop-in visitors – many wanting to know when the next auction will be held. The self storage business has always held auctions; but in reality that’s literally just 1% of what they do. The other 99% of the time they focus on helping people, businesses, and charities meet their storage needs. White Rock U-Lock offers personal and business storage solutions for everyone. With 30 different storage sizes to choose from as well as short and longterm options, it’s easy to choose what you need. Many businesses use self storage for excess inventory or trade show materials and equipment, allowing them to run their business in a more functional and efficient way. “We help everyday people whose lives or homes are teetering on the brink of chaos, by helping to remove the stress that comes with moving and the feeling of overwhelming that comes with working amongst your inventory.” Hutchinson says. “Our clean, secure and modern facility gives our clients a place to store their belongings, perhaps to be sorted through at a later date. We will find you the perfect-sized locker that will fit your belongings and your budget.” Let White Rock U-Lock help get you organized today.

It’s virtually impossible to lose those love handles or that menopausal fat.” That’s why New Beauty Institute offers a solution that’s way cooler than other options, such as surgery: CoolSculpting. With cutting-edge technology and highly skilled, dedicated staff, New Beauty Institute offers a wide array of laser services and anti-aging techniques to help you reach your goals in all aspects of body and skin care. CoolSculpting is just one of those services, but one of the most popular because of its noninvasive technique and how effective it is on menopausal fat. Developed by Harvard scientists, the patented procedure involves freezing fat cells without damage to your skin. There’s no knife. No suction hoses. No lasers. No scars.

“The results are phenomenal! They have exceeded our expectations,” says Caree, adding you can simply get on with your busy day after a treatment; there is no downtime. Typically, clients will see a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area after just one visit. More can be lost with additional appointments, if necessary. But what does that mean? “Simply put, your clothes ﬁt better,” Caree says. “You look better. The fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body over the following few months, leaving you feeling more like yourself again.” It’s not just for women, either. Caree notes they’ve had great success treating Gynecomastia – the enlargement of the gland tissue in the male breast – with CoolSculpting. Whether looking to lose fat or tighten your skin or laser hair removal, New Beauty Institute is here to help Peninsula clients look and feel their very best. Proudly celebrating their eighth year in White Rock, New Beauty looks forward to your visit.

In the market for a new or used vehicle? Look no further than Murray Hyundai White Rock, for an experience that’s sure to put a smile on your face. As the leading Hyundai dealer on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Murray Hyundai carries a great selection of new and pre-owned vehicles to suit any customer’s needs. Part of the Murray Automotive Group – a family-owned business started in Winnipeg in 1926 – Murray Hyundai is proud to be celebrating the company’s 85th anniversary. Though the Murray Automotive Group has grown over the past eight and a half decades to operate more than 20 dealerships across Canada, employing more than 1,000 professionals, the focus at Murray Hyundai White Rock is still on maintaining family values, according to General Manager Cedric Gagne. “Treating every customer like a guest in our home is our mission,” Cedric explains. “We want to be the leaders in our market in not only vehicle sales, but also customer satisfaction.” An on-site parts and service department with reliable, trained technicians, as well as valet parking services for customers visiting the lot are just a few examples of ways Murray Hyundai strives to make your experience positive. Cedric, who moved with his family to the White Rock/South Surrey area seven months ago, said another important aspect of Murray Hyundai is supporting the community they now call home. The dealership has supported several charitable events in recent months – including the CIBC Run for the Cure and Semiahmoo Rotary Club’s golf tournament – and is looking forward to more opportunities to give back. In fact, this winter, Hyundai will be teaming up with CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada for a live TV broadcast from South Surrey Arena. In addition to providing outstanding service and community support, Cedric says the team at Murray Hyundai is thrilled with the lineup of vehicles they have to offer at their South Surrey location. “Coming on board with Hyundai has been exciting – the product itself is unbelievable,” he says. “The company is focused and motivated and that’s not going to change, it’s only going to get better.”

WINE STORE

SHOE FASHION

With holiday season upon us, what better time than now to visit South Surrey’s Swirl Wine Store for a huge selection of B.C.’s best. Formerly Mud Bay Wines, customers can expect to ﬁnd the same management and friendly faces at the boutique shop, located at the corner of 140 Street and 16 Avenue. As one of only 20 BC VQA stores, Swirl owner/ manager Jeff Wong carries more than 650 varieties of B.C.-made and bottled wines, including many limited-production selections.

Jeff Wong

ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • More than 650 varieties of B.C. wines • Array of wine accessories • Knowledgeable, friendly staff • Wine-tastings and education events Hours of Operation: • Monday - Wednesday 11am - 8pm • Thursday - Saturday 11am - 9pm • Sunday 11am - 6pm

“People are pretty amazed by our extensive product selection,” Jeff says. “B.C. is making phenomenal wines, but they are often hard to ﬁnd.” Swirl also has a variety of wine accessories in store, including decanters, aerators, cork screws, cookbooks, wine books, cheese, crackers, gift baskets and glassware by Riedel and Eisch. And although Jeff and his staff are highly educated about the ins and outs of the wine business, customers won’t encounter any ‘attitude’ when they visit Swirl. “We’re deﬁnitely wine geeks, but we’re not going to get all technical on you unless you want us to,” Jeff says.

Drew and Scott Robb

ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Large selection of Designer Shoes • Women’s and Men’s Top Brands • Family-owned for 26 years • Custom Orthotic Footbeds

For those who are serious about their wine, Swirl offers private wine tasting events in store, on-site tasting events and wine education programs for a variety of experience levels. More details on special events – as well as Swirl’s wine club – can be found online at www.swirlwinestore.ca, where you can also sign up for a monthly newsletter detailing the latest releases from the best wineries of B.C.

There are people who love shoes. Then, there are people who would take the “red-eye” to New York just to see if they could find an open toe mule at a Manolo Blahnik sample sale. No matter which category you fall into, you will love the sophisticated selection of men’s and women’s shoes found at Elegante Shoes, located inside Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. While the Big Apple has its perks, at Elegante, you will find the finest selection of casual and dress shoes the Peninsula has to offer. From a ladies size five to a men’s 13, Elegante can shoe everyone up with the world’s top brands and designers. Whether you are going to the office or have a special occasion, the staff at Elegante know how to help you find just the right thing. Crowd favourites include: Stuart Wietzman, Amalfi, VanEli, Franco Sarto, Clarks and Ecco. While Elegante offers one of the largest selections of designer shoes, owner Scott Robb is quick to point out that he and the rest of the team don’t often use the word “trendy” to describe their store.“We tend to lean more toward the classical styles.” Elegante’s fabulous fall/winter boots – including over-the-knee, wedge-style, fold-down – have arrived in store. Come see for yourself why Elegante has been a favourite on the Peninsula for more than 26 years.

An oxygen facial (Madonna facial), can be nice to treat yourself to. Oxygen facials are a luxurious combination of state-of-the-art oxygen technology and restorative relaxation. Designed to nourish the skin by infusing vitamins and minerals into the skin’s pores using cool, calming oxygen, it’s a refreshing way to pamper yourself with noticeable results.

We also offer facial rejuvenation with the latest technology in muscle microcurrent facial therapy, a therapeutic technology that delivers precise dosages of energy to the skin while also working to repair collagen in the dermis (the deepest layer of the skin) and erase signs of aging in the epidermis (the top layer of skin). “It’s great – it improves your muscle tone and tightens and lifts things up,” she says. She and Dr. Rostvig are excited about moving into a larger building early next year in between Golf Town and the dental clinic at The Shops at Morgan Crossing. After four years in their current 1,400- sq.-ft. location, Charles says the new, 9,000-sq.-ft. space – opening in February 2012 – will offer new opportunities for their clients. Along with new services and more doctors, Charles and Dr. Rostvig plan to add additional pedicure chairs and manicure stations, skin care bar, a makeup artist and registered massage therapists. “There’s so much more space to better serve our clients,” Charles says. “It’s going to be a one-stop shop for men and women who use our services.”

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the wine-lover on your list, the team at The Brewing Experience is ready to help you create the perfect holiday batch complete with personalized holiday labels. For something extra special, a new line of Cru Specialty Ports – including Orange Chocolate and White Chocolate – are available on a limited release, while supplies last.

of Hugh & McKinnon Realty

n 1909, Surrey Pioneer Edwin Carncross, realizing the future potential of the area, established a Real Estate and Insurance Company in Cloverdale at 176 Street and Highway 10. The population of Surrey was only 1,291 & Vancouver’s 78,900. By 1909 the population of the Semiahmoo First Nations had dropped to just 38 since the Spanish arrived in Boundary Bay in 1790. Edwin Carncross and his family came to Surrey in 1888, homesteading 160 acres at Brown and State Street which is now 32 Avenue and 160 Street. Edwin’s brother Charles and his wife Mary moved to Surrey in 1897. As well as farming, Charles was a member of Surrey Council from 1898-1899, was elected Reeve in 1901 and became a Notary Public in 1917. 1909 also saw the opening of Surrey’s first bank when the Bank of Montreal opened just a few doors down from Carncross & Co. Back in Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens played their first game January 5, 1909 beating the Colbalt Silver Kings 7-6 in overtime before a crowd of 3,000 in the Jubilee Rink. Just a few years later in 1911, The Vancouver Millionaires would win the Stanley Cup. In 1916 while war raged in Europe, Charles sold his farm and joined Edwin at Carncross and Co., later that year Edwin moved to California due to ill health. In 1917 after serving in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps in WW1, Fabian Hugh joined the Company in the real estate business and the company was renamed to Carncross & Hugh. Originally a Notary Public from Ontario, Fabian received his Notary Public Seal for the province of B.C. in 1919 and was appointed SecretaryCollector for Surrey in 1921. When Charles Carncross retired from the firm in 1929, Fabian was left to run the business with Frank McKinnon who had joined the firm in 1926. For the next 10 years the two were the entire staff carrying the real estate, insurance, conveyance and dyking work, each earning $55 per month.

hired as an office clerk, working in the mornings before school and on Saturdays, taking care of such chores as dusting, sweeping and learning to type. After serving in the Canadian Air Force during World War II, Davidson returned to the firm in 1945 where he was offered a 30 per cent partnership, and was put in charge of the insurance branch. In the early 1950s, the name was officially changed to Hugh & McKinnon Ltd, a few years before Fabian Hugh retired in 1954. The 1960’s and 1970’s saw a great deal of expansion with branch offices opening in White Rock in 1960, Vancouver in 1961, North Surrey in 1962 and Langley in 1969. The White Rock branch first opened in 1960, and as the company continued to grow, was relocated to just south of North Bluff and Johnston Roads, across from the Central Plaza Shopping Centre in 1968. In 1978 the company was sold to Richards and Melling Inc, the White Rock office was purchased by Bill Sutherland and relocated to the corner of 140 Street and 16 Avenue in South Surrey, where it remains to this day. Hugh & McKinnon became a real estate sales and property management company, no longer involved in insurance brokerage. In 1990, Bruce Robinson and Greg Long took over the company after Larry Colby’s retirement. Larry had bought the shares in 1988 after Bill Sutherland’s death. As the only remaining office, the Peninsula office has 35 agents, manages nearly 4,000 strata lots, 200 rental properties and 16 commercial properties. The company has pooled investor funds and owns and manages shopping centres in Walnut Grove, Brentwood Bay and Courtney. In 1999 Hugh & McKinnon purchased and redeveloped the highly successful Kelowna Lakeshore Inn and managed it for eight years before selling it to the Manteo Resort. The company is still involved in the Okanagan with a rental townhouse project in West Kelowna and an apartment complex in Kamloops. Through diversifying its business ventures, Hugh & McKinnon has managed to stay stable and successful through trying times that have seen other real estate companies disappear. Regardless of your real estate or investment needs, with 101 years serving the Fraser Valley community Hugh & McKinnon has the experience and expertise you deserve.
