Rotary Club surprised by rejection of waterfront fundraiser
No exception to dog ban on promenade Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A lack of flexibility in White Rock’s bylaw prohibiting dogs on the promenade means an event that “had some potential as a serious fundraiser” will likely be held outside city lines. “The thing will probably have to move to
Surrey,” said Winston Conyers, an organizer of Rotary Club of White Rock Peninsula’s Pooch Parade on the Promenade initiative. “Another White Rock event moves out of White Rock.” Pooch Parade on the Promenade, set for April 17, 2011, was proposed to benefit the club, Kent Street Activity Centre and Semi-
ahmoo Animal League Inc. In addition to vendors and dog-related demonstrations, it was hoped to include a two-hour window for dog owners to walk their leashed pets along the promenade from the walkway’s most eastern point west to the totem poles. Contacted by Peace Arch News Tuesday morning, Conyers said he was surprised to
learn council did not grant the bylaw variance needed for the event to proceed. He said the walk was to be an opportunity to show support of good dog owners, and had been anticipated to also benefit beach-front businesses. Council voted against the variance Monday � see page A4
‘Drug line’ tip nets arrest
Home stretch
A 30-year-old South Surrey man is facing drug trafficking charges, following an arrest last week in White Rock. According to an Oct. 1 news release, police made the arrest Sept. 27 after receiving a tip about a drug line operating in the area. Police would not disclose if the tip was anonymous, where the man was arrested or exactly what the term “drug line” refers to. The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking in White Rock, Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry said. “Police are aware of several drug lines operating in the South Surrey/White Rock area and this was part of our effort to stem that activity within the city,” Roseberry said Monday. “I can’t be more specific than that. Not right now.” The man, who was arrested by officers in the detachment’s plainclothed section, was released and is to appear in court early next year. - Tracy Holmes

Canada awaits more research data on experimental treatment
MS sufferer hopes to find relief in Mexico Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters
Cathy Clements has been scrapbooking her three children’s lives for as long as she can remember. But as the multiple sclerosis that’s been weakening her body since 1997 continues its ravaging progression, recently reaching her hands, the careful cutting and organization marking each milestone is getting harder.
And while the South Surrey grandmother would love to see miracle results from a pricey treatment she plans to receive for her MS in Mexico this month, at the least she is hoping for a return of the hand strength she needs to continue capturing those precious family moments. “Some people are having very good results, so that’s why I’m going,” Clements said.

ment Instrument) data… saying we really need to address this, but it never happened,” McNally said. “My impression was everybody I talked to said ‘yes, yes, we’re interested,’ but nothing ever happened.” The EDI is a tool researchers at the University of B.C. have used to monitor the province’s kindergarten children since 2001. It measures their development in five areas: physical health and well-being; social competence; emotional maturity; language and cognitive development; and communication and general knowledge. Statistics noting a decline in the social competence and emotional maturity of Peninsula kindergarten children increased the urgency to include the city’s two schools in the program, McNally said. “The two White Rock schools, the kiddies, were very vulnerable on two of the five categories and
were becoming more vulnerable as each year went on,” she said. “We really wanted to give those kiddies a leg up.” The city approved the partnership in principle in July. At last week’s council meeting, they directed city manager Peggy Clark to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, authorized a grant of up to $8,750 for the balance of 2010 and directed staff to include the funds for 2011 and 2012 in the city’s 2011-2015 financial plan. With White Rock on board, there are now 27 schools throughout the district’s four partnership zones. Peace Arch and White Rock elementaries are part of the south zone, along with Jessie Lee, Kensington Prairie and Sunnyside. Jessie Lee will be the ‘hub’ school. White Rock joining the partnership was “the last piece of the puzzle,” McNally said.
Vehicles targeted
Officers take on cancer
Their reason to ride Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Eric Mead’s father was 72 when he died of cancer. By Mead’s calculations, that means he’s got about 19 years of his own life left to do what he can to make a difference. And he doesn’t plan to waste it. “Time is such a precious commodity. I want to make sure I give back,” the White Rock man said Friday. Mead, a deputy sheriff, made the comment at White Rock Christian Academy, just after he and his Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley teammates marked the end of an emotional cycling journey dedicated to helping children who are living with cancer. The nine-day, 800-kilometre trip took the team to Boston Bar and back; up tough hills and, on six of the nine days, through miserable weather. As hard as it got, as sore as they got, none broke the rule prohibiting whining, team captain Ken Usipiuk told WRCA students who gathered to help celebrate the accomplishment. The ride, one of four B.C. tours, benefits the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C. and Yukon chapter. Last year, the riders raised more than $2 million for pediatric research and programs. This year, Mead’s fundraising efforts alone collected more than $15,300 for the cause. Friday, WRCA students added $453.15 to the total. In helping present the cheque, 12-year-old Chloe Loewen had a personal message for the team. “I want to thank you for riding over 800 km. The money you’ve raised will help kids like me and
The city’s grant will fund the salary of an assistant who will be based at Peace Arch Elementary. McNally expects everything to be in place “later this fall.” “It’s all about giving little kids the best start in life,” she said, commending the city for “stepping up to the plate.” Coun. Lynne Sinclair, who is a retired teacher, noted a forum on early childhood at the White Rock Community Centre is another step being taken to support children’s success. Set for Oct. 29 at the White Rock Community Centre, it will be an opportunity for agencies to share information, ask questions and brainstorm further ways of supporting local children. The school district and the City of Surrey is to host a communityschools partnership conference Oct. 21 and 22 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre, (6250-144 St.).

Aiden (Penner) beat cancer.” Chloe, 12, has been cancer-free for nine years after beating childhood leukemia. Aiden, a Grade 1 student, is a third of the way through 3½ years of treatment for the same disease. In responding to questions from principal (and Chloe’s father) Dave Loewen, Aiden said he is doing “pretty good” since his diagnosis on April 14, 2009. Aiden’s mom, Const. Deb Rogers, described her son as “absolutely spirited.” He has already

endured 12 blood transfusions and 21 intramuscular injections in his fight, and takes oral doses of chemotherapy daily, she said, noting the family moved to South Surrey from Kelowna in order to get Aiden the treatment he needs at BC Children’s Hospital. It is children like Aiden and Chloe who keep the team motivated, said Mead, who also rode in support of his wife Nancy, who was diagnosed with cancer last year. Mead was obviously touched
when one young cancer patient gave him a heart bead on a ribbon – a symbolic thank you. It was one of about 40 beads Mead collected throughout the tour, each one representing a child or act of kindness associated with the ride. One, marked with a ‘T’, honours one youngster who didn’t beat cancer. “This is the reason why we ride,” Mead said, putting his arm around the boy who gave him the heart. “The struggle I go through in that very short journey is nothing compared to their struggle. I’m humbled they see me as a hero.”
White Rock police are reminding vehicle owners to be sure to lock up their cars, trucks and SUVs, after noting an increase in the incidence of theft from vehicles. The number of reports jumped from 18 in June to 31 in August, said Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry. Twentyfive break-ins were reported in July; there were at least 28 similar reports in September. “We are still seeing slight spikes, more than the norm,” Roseberry said. “That’s just a concern for us.” Areas across the city have been targeted, and include underground parking lots and private driveways. Of particular note is that the majority of incidents have involved vehicles that had been left unlocked. Roseberry said it’s a practice some drivers follow in an effort to avoid the expense of repairing a smashed car window. Unfortunately, those same drivers are not thinking to remove or tuck out of sight valuables that might tempt a would-be thief to break in. “If you’re going to leave your vehicle unlocked, I would certainly not leave anything of value inside.” Items reported taken range from loose change and sunglasses to laptop computers. South Surrey police have not seen a similar spike. In fact, Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell said statistics show the incidence of theft from vehicles in that community has dropped in the past few months. Campbell also emphasized the importance of prevention. He pointed in particular to the need to remove garage-door openers from vehicles, as those give culprits access to a vehicle owner’s home via the garage. Roseberry appealed for anyone with information that could help police identify those responsible for the trend in White Rock to contact the detachment at 778593-3600. - Tracy Holmes

Friends host event to help patient � from page A1 Suzanne Jay, communications director of the MS Society’s B.C. and Yukon division, said the society has been in the forefront of commissioning research projects into the links between CCSVI and MS, of which seven are underway in Canada and the U.S. “We’re trying to present as much information as possible that is medically sound, trying to make sure we maintain a certain standard,” she said, adding that some 49 countries are currently providing CCSVI treatments for a price, but which are not necessarily approved by those countries’ own health authorities. “We respect the right of people to make medical decisions for themselves,” she said. “Some people suffering from MS feel they can’t wait (for treatment) and we understand and are sympathetic to that.” Multiple sclerosis, most often diagnosed in young adults, is a disease of the central nervous system that attacks the myelin

dence to the disease. “It just keeps moving up (my body). My hands are starting to go now. I’m scared to get any worse than I am,” she said. The treatment she will receive has given some sufferers – about one third – dramatic results, Clements said, noting another third have seen slow improvement. And with the pace MS is moving at in her own body, those statistics are reason enough to give it a try, she said. “When you’ve got what I’ve got and it’s moving the way it is… you’ve got to do what might possibly help,” Clements said. “If it did, that’d be incredible.” A sold-out fundraiser to help Clements with the cost of the treatment – estimated at $10,000 – takes place tomorrow. She leaves for Mexico Oct. 13. Anyone interested in donating silent auction items for the event may call 604-290-6493 or 604313-4563.

Citizens for Safe Technology make presentation to council
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Wi-Fi concerns resurfaced in White Rock last week, as opponents of the largely unregulated technology appealed to councillors for a city-wide moratorium on its use. “This wireless technology endangers all of us, whether we’re aware of it or not,” Linda Ewart, representing Citizens for Safe Technology, told acting mayor Lynne Sinclair and councillors in open council Oct. 3. Ewart, a retired teacher, requested the delegation in July, just before the July 26 council meeting in which CST members took over the public question period to voice their concerns around the issue. Opponents of the technology first raised concerns earlier that month, following Tourism White Rock’s launch of free Wi-Fi and Bluetooth along the waterfront. In the weeks

White Rock’s free Wi-Fi and Bluetooth program has drawn concerns from a local group. following, Ewart and others voiced concerns that another frequency in the neighbourhood would exacerbate symptoms already experienced by those with electro-sensitivity. At council last week, she and Dr. Drew Sinatra, a Peninsula naturopath – who were joined at the meeting by about a dozen supporters – reiterated those symptoms range from headaches and breathing problems to skin rashes and symptoms resembling heart failure.

Ewart questioned why, with health so often named a top priority, precautions have been “thrown out the window” when it comes to wireless technology. Sinatra, who lives in White Rock but practises in South Surrey, noted his brother experienced such severe electrosensitivity as a Wall Street trader that he almost died and now has to wear radiationprotection clothing. Sinatra compared the widespread lack of concern in regards to
potential health impacts of wireless technology with the tobacco industry’s long-held denial of a link between health problems and cigarettes. Convenience such as that afforded by wireless “comes at a great cost,” he said. While Mayor Catherine Ferguson told the group in July that the city would take a serious look at information on the perceived dangers of Wi-Fi, councillors Monday gave no indication whether that had been done. Coun. Helen Fathers wanted to know more about the group itself, and if members had raised their concerns with other city councils or levels of government. Ewart named the Surrey School Board and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation as among agencies contacted. As for contacting other levels of government, “We write lots of letters,” Ewart said.

SkyTrain not the only option
F
or some reason, the provincial government and TransLink seem to keep shying away from even talking about use of the interurban rail corridor between Chilliwack and Surrey. SkyTrain, however, is top of mind, with Premier Gordon Campbell going on record stating SkyTrain will eventually be extended to Langley. In his speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual convention Friday, the premier said the SkyTrain extension will be part of the next phase of a capital program for transportation improvements, which began in 2002. The premier gave no date as to when SkyTrain will reach Langley. Earlier announcements on the SkyTrain extension indicated that it would go as far east as 168 Street and Fraser Highway by 2020, and on to Willowbrook by 2030. While rapid transit would be welcome, 20 years is a long time to wait – especially if the growth south of the Fraser continues at the frenetic pace of the past decade. A recent study on the interurban line indicates that for $500 million, equipment could be purchased, 100 kilometres of tracks upgraded and service inaugurated on a 20- to 30-minute headway. The cost of SkyTrain is far higher than that. The much-delayed Evergreen Line, which still has a funding shortfall, is estimated to cost at least $1.4 billion, and it involves a relatively short (11 km) SkyTrain extension from the Lougheed station to Port Moody and Coquitlam Town Centre. There is no doubt SkyTrain reduces the many challenges of roads crossing railway tracks at grade. However, commuter rail using existing tracks works well in cities as varied as New York, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal and Seattle, so there is no evidence it can’t work here. In addition, extending rail service as far east as Chilliwack would recognize the reality that many people travel from throughout the Fraser Valley to the larger urban centres of Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby – as well as Vancouver and Richmond. It would also provide a vastly-improved internal transit service south of the Fraser, something that is long overdue. The provincial government is correct to identify the need for much-improved transit services south of the Fraser, the area of B.C. growing at the fastest rate. However, its insistence on use of the SkyTrain technology is consuming a great deal of capital and delaying projects that are needed now.

the idea of four-year terms. Three years is enough of a commitment. The poor were thrust into the spotlight again when Campbell took the stage for the traditional convention-closing speech. After a fond look back at the Olympics, he imagined himself and Finance Minister Colin Hansen as a figureskating pair for a little self-deprecating humour about the hasty introduction of the harmonized sales tax. With the federal clock ticking, “we rushed out, and we threw the HST up in the air, and we promptly fell on our faces,” Campbell said. “Well, we soldiered on with the program. Some were saying that the only thing we had really mastered was the death spiral.” Then he got serious. He didn’t plot the HST before the election. He didn’t lie, but he accepts now that many people will never believe it. Then Campbell threw his latest pitch in a long-shot bid to save the HST and his government via referendum next fall. The HST helps the poor. Tax rebates for more than a million low-income people add up to $230 a year for a single senior, or $920 a year for a low-income family of four. Campbell did not return to the argument that the HST helps resource industries recover and grow. It’s too vague for people intent on checking their restaurant bills. He also knows the media are bored by economics, just as they are the sob stories of small-town unemployment.

We are not without hope Editor: Re: Fighting for Faith, Sept. 22. My heart goes out to the seven prisoners in Iran and to the countless men and women who are held in equally unjust captivity all over the world. They are not the first to take this treacherous and noble road; they follow a course laid out by honourable leaders the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. They walk alongside nameless civilians who, every day, live in hell on earth because of the class they were born into, the religion they choose to follow or something else that an intolerant, ignorant group of people deem “wrong.” It is horrific and, often, it is born from confusion between power and religion. It is easy to be discouraged when learning of these situations, realizing they have not been eradicated, no matter how far society, as we know it, has progressed. I am saddened every time I hear myself say “I can’t believe this is happening in…” 1991, The Gulf War; 1991, beating of Rodney King in California; 1995, ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Muslims in Serbia/ Croatia; 1996, genocide in E. Timor; 2010 announcement of burning of Qur’ans in Florida. And these come to mind quickly because they were made public. How many more situations remain hidden from the public eye? As I read this article, I found myself shaking my head, feeling that familiar feeling of despair. But by the end of the article I was starting to feel a little hopeful. If their senseless sentence was reduced by half because of international outcry, then our voice really can make a difference. I would like to take Farrah Marasco’s message and reiterate it here. Education and awareness can bring about social change; we have come far, but we have work to do. I’d like to take some of that burden off our children’s shoulders and do what I can in my lifetime to promote peace and understanding. I have started doing this by learning about organizations whose mandates are along these lines. I have made a commitment to supporting them and to living these values as a model for my children. I will continue doing this with these seven prisoners and their families in mind, working toward a world where religion/class/sexual orientation etc. doesn’t matter. And being a good, honest person does. Taslim Jaffer, Surrey
Deductions hurt disabled Editor: Re: First we must fix welfare, Sept. 24 letters. A good letter. Thanks you to Frank and Irene Ratz in Surrey.
I agree with this couple, as I have experienced my own problems with disability benefits also. Then-premier Glen Clark is responsible for my problem starting in 1997, when he arranged, without informing me, that the Canadian pension I receive, would be deducted off my B.C. disability benefits. No explanation. I am still trying to get the provincial government to alter the legislation. It is possible. I suffered a brain aneurysm in 2006, and my daughter has been helping me since day one.

I expect the money deducted to be paid back to me. The more people who let their voices be heard, we can change this law. But we need to speak up and now. Patti Finnson, White Rock

The price of parking along Marine Drive continues to be a contentious issue for merchants and council members.
Parking rates not our first choice Editor: Re: Mayor’s last-minute parking bid ignored, Sept. 29. I am a merchant who five weeks ago opened a small café on East Beach. Coun. Lynne Sinclair notes White Rock BIA supported the recommendation approved; I believe this is incorrect. After attending a Business Improvement Association meeting the night before your article was published, it was felt councillors bulldozed all involved in the decision to agree to the compromise of $1/hour parking charge. As a business trying to become successful during a difficult time, I echo the mayor’s comments in trying to keep our businesses sustainable. The biggest setback to my location is the parking charges. I have had residents from other areas of White Rock state that if they didn’t have their annual resident parking permit, they wouldn’t come to my café. Why would they, when they can go to other areas of White Rock and not pay to park their cars? Winter is a difficult time generally, because of the downturn in the tourist season, but add to it that visitors have to pay to park to get a coffee and a sandwich. It means a harsh winter and not just because of the weather or lack of out-of-town visitors. There are three units for sale along my stretch, and the first negative aspect that prospective buyers notice is pay parking. All three units have been for sale long before I arrived, and I think they probably will be on the market for much longer, purely because parking is an issue. Also, we are organizing an upcoming event, and the city council charges us parking if we use any of the parking areas to host events to help promote not just the waterfront but White Rock itself. The lack of support from them is disappointing and very frustrating. I hoped that coming home after 11 years in the U.K., choosing White Rock would be the right place to invest. I am crossing my fingers and toes I can make it through the winter at least. Sherri “Roxy” Wilson Morissette, Roxy’s By The Beach ■ The White Rock BIA’s position has not changed. We still want the $2 per hour for eight months and free Monday-Thursday winter parking compromise that
had previously been agreed to by the city. The city has explained that, unfortunately, free parking is no longer an option on the waterfront because of escalating lease rates from BNSF. As this option was no longer on the table, the BIA supported one of two options presented to the economic development committee regarding parking on the waterfront. After consideration, we chose to support the $3/hour parking beginning March 1 and ending Oct. 31 and $1/hour starting Nov. 1 and ending on Feb. 28 presented by city staff, as opposed to our present system of $3/hour starting May 1 and ending Aug. 31 and $2/hour for all subsequent months. We also requested the winter pay period be changed from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. to noon-8 p.m. to give customers some relief. In the end, none of those suggestions was found by other committee members to be viable. Given the two choices on the table, the White Rock BIA endorsed the option of $3/hour and $1/hour. The White Rock BIA has further asked the city for consistency in whatever plan they selected, as we believe the public has become confused by the current ever-changing parking rates on the beach. Cyndie Richards, White Rock BIA
With all due respect
The approval by White Rock councillors to change waterfront parking rates appears to be a step in the right direction, particularly the $1/hour winter rate. What is very disturbing is council’s disrespect towards Mayor Catherine Ferguson by ignoring her request to “consider and debate” starting the program on Oct. 1. Her request and reasons were very sound and reasonable but, because she was away on official business at the UBCM meetings, Coun. Lynne Sinclair and the other inconsiderate members of council paid her request no heed. Council members should bear in mind that Ferguson is the leader of this community and should be entitled to some respect from the councillors who sit at city hall. Listen to her suggestions, they may be helpful, instead of relying on your little power trips while she is away. Jim Saunders, White Rock

City tries to save second Amtrak what’s Tracy Holmes & Melissa Smalley Staff Reporters
The City of White Rock is petitioning the provincial and federal governments in an attempt to save the second daily Amtrak passenger train between Vancouver, Seattle and Portland from being cancelled. Last month, Peace Arch News reported that Amtrak’s second daily passenger train service between the three cities would end after Oct. 31, due to the Canadian government imposing border fees of nearly $1,500 per day to cover staffing costs for the Canada Border Services Agency. The border fees had been waived by the federal government since the expanded service first began on a trial basis in August 2009. At council’s Sept. 25 meeting, councillors supported a motion by Coun. Doug McLean to write to the federal and provincial ministers of transportation to

indicate the city’s support for continuing to waive the border fees. McLean said he was “very disappointed” by news the second train would be cancelled at the end of this month. Citing “very clear” economic benefits seen since the second train was added, McLean said it “doesn’t make sense” to not continue waiving the fees. “My hope is the federal government will
focus on the big picture here.” Coun. Al Campbell agreed. “For the $1,500 a day, it just floors me,” Campbell said. When news of the train’s cancellation first broke last month, MP Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) said he would be pushing for the waiver of border fees to become permanent so the second daily train service could remain. Last week, Hiebert said that although he is still discussing the issue with his colleagues, so far the government’s position on the border fees hasn’t changed. “I have been raising the issue with my fellow B.C. MPs, and just today I spoke with the minister of public safety – he’s the one that’s responsible for the train,” Hiebert said Wednesday from Ottawa. “Other than that, there’s not a lot to report, except that we’re still working on it.”
Several August border travellers raise red flags Convictions for illegal firearms, drug trafficking and sexual assault were among the red flags that prompted Canadian border guards at the Douglas (Peace Arch) port to refuse entry to several travellers in August. In a separate incident that month, U.S. child welfare officials were notified after a search found drugs and drug paraphernalia in a northbound vehicle occupied by a man and two minors. According to Canada Border Services Agency’s Shakila Manzoor, it “became obvious” to border guards during
interviews that the minors were under the influence of marijuana. Investigation determined the man had a medical marijuana certificate, Manzoor said. The man was escorted to the U.S. border office and U.S. Border Patrol officers alerted child welfare officials. Manzoor said that at least 430 foreign nationals who arrived at the Douglas border were deemed inadmissible in August due to criminality. Other visitors were refused entry to Canada because they lacked proper documentation or visa, she said.
Of those who cleared the border, at least two learned the hard way the cost of not declaring items purchased stateside. One Nexus traveller who lied about buying goods at the duty-free store not only had their Nexus card seized but had to pay $1,584 for an undeclared watch, she said. Another traveller, a Canadian returning home from an eight-day trip to Arizona, had to pay $11,250 after undervaluing the worth, by $45,000, of an RV and Jeep that had been purchased. - Tracy Holmes

White Rock city staff opposes heating program
Council to explore solar system Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A program mandating new residential buildings be constructed to accommodate solar hot water heating is not a good fit for White Rock, city councillors have heard. But despite staff recommendations against the move, councillors voted to have implications of the concept on zoning and building regulations explored. “We need to be proactive,” said Coun. Doug McLean, who motioned for a report. “People are going to want to have alternative energy.” According to a report presented at last week’s council meeting, if White Rock joins the province’s Solar Hot Water Ready Regulation program, new homes will have to have provisions for future instal-
lation of the heating systems. Collector devices for such systems are typically mounted on a building’s rooftop and can measure 2.4 square metres, Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, noted in his report. But while such systems can provide enough energy to meet up to one half of the water heating needs of a single-family home, and while the systems are anticipated to undergo widespread adoption in the coming years, “staff feel that initiating this program as a mandatory requirement at this time would only serve to bring more public concerns and controversies over the issue of ocean views, tree preservation and the right to solar access,” the report states. “We’re not really ready to move forward with the program at
this time,” Stanton told Couns. Helen Fathers, Mary-Wade Anderson, Doug McLean, Al Campbell and Lynne Sinclair. Stanton cited the city’s zoning bylaw on height as a key issue. Currently, it only allows for building and structure heights to be exceeded by 2.2m for solar heating panels in specific residential apartment zones. The same exceptions are not made in other areas – where the majority of homes are built with flats roofs and to the maximum height allowed – mainly due to infringement on site lines or views. If White Rock resolved to join the provincial program, the height exemption would have to be extended to all residential zones, Stanton said. Joining also has potential to put the city in conflict with its own tree man-

Stanton suggested the zoning changes needed would require “extensive public consultation.” In moving for a discussion paper, McLean said White Rock needs to be prepared for the trend towards alternative energy sources. While Stanton said most other energy sources would not have the same impact on zoning and building regulations, Sinclair asked for the paper to include them anyway. The motion passed with Anderson opposed. At the same time, councillors voted to not enroll in the provincial program at this time. The discussion paper is due by the end of March.

ettling down to watch your favourite TV show is a routine that many people don’t think twice about. But for more than a million visually impaired Canadians, the experience of watching TV can be less than fulfilling. However, over the past few years that has all started to change thanks, in part, to a company started by South Surrey’s Diane Johnson. Johnson is the CEO of Descriptive Video Works, a company she created in 2003 to provide described-video services for TV shows and movies, allowing those with visual impairments the ❝If you were chance to to shut your experience eyes and watch television television, you’d like never before. miss a lot of “If you what’s going on.❞ were to shut your eyes Diane Johnson and watch television, you’d miss a lot of what’s going on,” Johnson said of the need for described video. “It really does enhance the lifestyle for people who are blind – it opens up a whole new world to them.” The process of adding described video to a TV show is generally the last step before it goes to air, Johnson said, when her company receives a copy of the nearcompleted episode. She has a network of writers – the majority of whom work from home and live all over Canada – who then work to come up with the appropriate descriptive wording to fit in between the show’s dialogue,

The Peninsula’s Diane Johnson, CEO of Descriptive Video Works, watches husband Terry Reid as he records a descriptive voice-over track for a TV show, one of several programs on the company’s roster, which includes CTV’s live reality show, So You Think You Can Dance Canada (below). being careful not to spill over onto anything the characters say. “There’s a lot of training that goes into becoming a described video writer,” Johnson said, noting a one-hour show typically takes about eight hours to write. “Something that you and I might describe in three sentences, they
might have to describe in three words.” A narrator is then brought in to record the written description, either at the company’s main downtown recording studio or at their smaller Crescent Beach studio. With a team of professional narrators to choose

from, Johnson said they try to match the voice appropriately with the tone of the show. The finished episode, complete with described video narration, is then returned to the broadcaster or producer, sometimes close to 12 hours before the show is to be aired. This year, Descriptive Video Works has embarked on a new challenge – providing described video for live TV, such as the Juno Awards and CTV’s So You Think You Can Dance Canada. For the latter program – the first reality show to be offered in described video – Johnson said a different approach must be taken than for regular TV shows. The company has hired a voiceover actress/writer who watches the show live from a voice booth at the show’s Toronto studio, providing visual descriptions as the show is taking place. “She has to be quick and on the ball – she can’t make mistakes,” Johnson said. “She has to have done her research ahead of time to know which talent is going to be there. She also has to know a lot of the dance moves so she’s not doing the same thing.” Despite the challenges with
providing such a service for a show that is so visual, Johnson said the response from both CTV and visually impaired viewers has been “excellent.” “They can hear the music and they can hear the story but they can’t see (the dancers),” she said, “So this way, we can describe what they look like and what the dance is like – blind people are really enjoying it.” Ensuring those who use the described video service are happy with the final product is important to Johnson, who said she holds regular focus groups to get feedback on everything from the voice talent to writing. “You couldn’t possibly assume that you know the answers,” she said. As more people learn about described video and more networks get on board offering it, Johnson said she expects the demand for the service to continue to grow dramatically, as it has since she first started seven years ago. “When we started, we had about four people working for us, and we were happy if we got one or two shows a month,” she said. “Now, we sometimes do 100 shows in a month.”

Leader of the loom E
local flavours
lke Denhart is “no groupie,” but she sure enjoys being loom to loom with her fellow members of the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners Guild. The White Rock retiree joined PAWS around six years ago when she moved to White Rock with her husband and was unable to accommodate her enormous Kristyl Clark loom. While she admits she was hesitant at first about joining, she is certainly glad she did. “I don’t like to join things, but joining this group is the best thing I ever did,” said Denhart, who currently serves as the vice-president of the guild, which meets in the basement of the Surrey Museum. “The women are all very intelligent, ready to lend a hand and are all very warm. You couldn’t ask for a better group of friends than these people.” Working at the loom is “unbelievably meditative,” she added. “I know it sounds boring to some, but once you know how to do it, your hands just work for you and your mind can wonder. I find it totally relaxing.” Denhart looks forward to displaying and selling her work, along with fellow guild members at the 27th annual Fibre Flare, coming to Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 128 St., Nov. 12-13. “This is a great opportunity for the public to come check out what we’ve been up to and support our members.” In addition to her passion for textile arts, Denhart also finds refuge in her White Rock kitchen, where she loves to bake tasty goodies for her husband and friends. In this edition of Local Flavours, she shares her

recipe for German plum cake, a treat she says she learned to make while growing up in Germany. “I had to bake every Saturday because I was the eldest of four. We had no kitchen machines, it was all done by hand.”
German plum cake Ingredients:
3 lbs. prune plums 50 grams fresh yeast (available at most bakeries) 1 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. salt 1/4 cup butter 2 eggs (room temperature) 4 cups flour
Instructions:
Prepare the yeast with 1 tsp. of sugar and 2 tbsp. of lukewarm water or milk, cover and set aside. Combine milk, sugar, salt and butter and heat until butter is melted. Pour into mixing bowl and beat two eggs into lukewarm mixture, then add the prepared yeast and finally the four cups of flour. Beat the dough with a kneading hook until it forms a ball. Cover with a towel for about 1/2 to one hour until it has risen to double its volume. Punch it down again and it’s ready to be used. It will cover a large cookie sheet. (I take half of the dough and freeze the other half for later use.) Cover the spread-out dough with halved prune plums tight as possible and sprinkle lightly with sugar before baking it for 35 to 40 minutes at 375F. The sugar will ensure that the plums get soft enough. When ready baked and piping hot, sprinkle more sugar onto the plums. Serve with stiffly beaten whipping cream. Bon appetite!

theft from a property crime to a violent crime and since 2003 has contributed to a 47 per cent decline in auto theft,” a news release announcing Shields’ award states. In his current role, Shields speaks for 9,500 RCMP employees. Earlier this year, Shields stepped outside his policing role to spend a week in Nicaragua helping to make the future of children who live in Managua’s city garbage dump a little brighter. Thursday, Shields credited his time at BCIT – during which students were often assigned massive projects with little time to complete the task – for teaching him “how to improvise, adapt and overcome.” “If you can’t learn that in your two years at BCIT, you’re not going to succeed,” he said. Thursday’s award was not the first time Shields has been recognized. In 2009, he received a St. John’s Ambulance Life Saving Award, for performing CPR on an avalanche victim in Revelstoke. He has also been named Police Officer of the Year, and received the Queen’s Royal Jubilee Medal for Exemplary Community Service. – Tracy Holmes

One of the RCMP’s most recognized faces – White Rock’s Tim Shields’ – was honoured Thursday with a Distinguished Alumni Award from BCIT. The award, bestowed on five BCIT alumni in a ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver, celebrates former students “who have distinguished themselves in their careers and community endeavours.” Shields, 45, is well-known as the public face and voice of B.C.’s Mounties. In his 14 years with the force, he has been featured in more than 7,000 media interviews. A graduate of BCIT’s civil and structural engineering program, Shields operated a successful business in the construction industry before changing directions to pursue a career in policing. He has since worked as a general duty officer, fraud investigator, media relations officer, bait car supervisor, drug section supervisor and detachment commander. He is now the inspector in charge of the RCMP’s strategic communications section. While working at IMPACT, a dedicated auto theft unit, Shields created Stolen Lives, an awardwinning documentary seen by Grade 10 students in high

School forums planned The Surrey Board of Education is hosting a series of upcoming public consultation meetings to discuss the challenges and choices facing the Surrey School District in the next year. Each year, the board engages the community in a series of sessions on topics of interest and importance to the district’s future direction. This year, Surrey has enlisted the assistance of Dr. Bruce Beairsto, a retired Richmond School District superintendent. Priorities will be explored through presentation and feedback sessions on specific topics and competing demands, including: • the board’s ability to meet the need for accessible neighbourhood schools for catchment area students, while at the same time attending to the expectation that Programs of Choice are sustained or even expanded; • management of school enrolment capacity in rapidly growing neighbourhoods by changing catchment boundaries or by changing the configuration of the school day and/or the way educational programs are provided; and • the desire to embrace community partnerships and expand access to schools as “hubs” for community services while managing issues like safety and security for students, traf-
fic density and increased costs resulting from expanded hours of use. Past examples of these community forum events include the 2005 wideranging “Vision 2010” process (culminating in a comprehensive fiveyear plan), annual area and ethnic community gatherings, and the 2008 “World Cafe” public process. In each case, the board shares information with the public and gathers input as it considers a number of competing demands in a complex, growing school district where there are more high priority requests and expectations than there are available resources, such as funds and physical space. Balanced with these numerous issues is the need to create a dynamic education system for the future that’s more responsive and flexible. The consultation meetings will be held: Oct. 4 – Kwantlen Park Secondary, 10441 132 St. Oct. 12 – Elgin Park Secondary, 13484 24 Ave. Oct. 14 – North Surrey Secondary, 15945 96 Ave. Oct. 18 – Fleetwood Park Secondary, 7940 156 St. All forums will be held from 7-9 p.m. For further information, call the school district at 604-596-7733.

Be the host with the most How-to tips to throw a great holiday party to remember
A23
Always the Best Value In Town!
The holidays are once again right around the corner, and families across the country are preparing to reunite. With hosting family and friends on the holiday horizon, the following guide can help those responsible for entertaining the troops this season become the holiday host with the most:
1350 Johnston Road - White Rock 604-536-1199
Prepare for the feast * Plan ahead. The key to minimizing holiday-induced anxiety is to plan in advance. Take inventory now to make sure you have the essentials you will need to serve your holiday meal – both basics and serving pieces. If you are lacking the necessities, or perhaps could use some updated decor and serving dishes, head over to Home Again, Home Again inside the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. The home decor store is fully stocked for the holiday season, which includes a wide selection of stunning pieces at affordable prices.
Gear up for the guests Once you’ve prepared for your holiday feast, give your home a fresh face with a few simple and affordable updates. * Seasonal solution. Transform your entertaining area by replacing sheer window treatments with more luxurious ones made of taffeta or chenille in warm, rich colors of the season. Pick the length that suits your style. More formal looks are achieved with longer treatments. Drape a throw in a rich burgundy or chocolate over the back of your couch and update your decorative pillows with covers that tie in with your existing decor. Does the idea of dressing your turkey

Homeowners who have spent many years in one home likely raised a family and shared many memories inside of those walls. When the kids grow and move on, it can be somewhat bittersweet. Being left with vacated rooms – especially ones still decked out in children’s decor – can cause the house to feel more empty than it has to be. Now is the time to turn those empty rooms into adult spaces. There is no reason to feel guilty about taking down
band posters and packing away little league baseball caps. Chances are the children made good use of their rooms and now it’s time for the adults to reclaim the spaces for their very own. There are easy ways to turn children’s bedrooms into spaces adults can enjoy. With a few fixes, the room can become a welcoming guest room, office or retreat for both men and women, according to Briar Codesmith, owner of Housewarmings in South
Surrey. The local interior design guru opened the boutique store in Elgin Corners more than four years ago – offering a wide selection of furnishings and decor with organic styles inspired by nature. To reclaim the space that used to be a child or teenager’s bedroom, Briar says to start by taking out all of the room’s contents, including posters, boxes, outdated tapestries as well as any furniture you won’t be using in your new � see page A26

Now that all of the contents are removed, Briar says to consider some new inventive flooring made from renewable materials such as cork or bamboo. Hand-scraped and distressed hardwood floors are becoming a popular choice in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upscale homes and commercial buildings, adding beautiful texture, richness and uniqueness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While hand-scraped flooring can certainly be costly, a small space such as a bedroom can be a great place for it, without breaking the bank,â&#x20AC;? she says. With fresh flooring in place, a fresh coat or two of paint is a must. According to Briar, grey is the hottest new paint trend for 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some beautiful smoky grey or blue(ish) grey shades that can really transform a room.â&#x20AC;? Complete the look with chunky baseboards for a little extra â&#x20AC;&#x153;oomph,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she adds. Because the room will reflect the adult homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests, it should be designed with their needs in mind. Comfortable furniture and A small table, such items that please as this piece from the residents Housewarmings, is should be ideal as a computer incorporated. table in a small room. If you are
going heading out to purchase some new furniture for the room, Briar says to include a sofa bed at the top of your shopping list â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that is functional, stylish and comfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look for an apartment sized sofa, preferably queen sized from Stylus,â&#x20AC;? says Briar who carries the popular made-toorder sofa beds at her Peninsula store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; feels just like sleeping in a real bed,â&#x20AC;? says Briar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can rest assured knowing you or your guests will get a great nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep.â&#x20AC;? With childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rooms generally being smaller in size, it can be a challenge to squeeze in a large, cumbersome computer desk and a computer, complete with all its accessories. Instead, Briar suggests using a small table with a laptop, eliminating the need for messy wires and bulky furniture. Now that everything is in place, the right lighting is key to illuminating all of your hard work. If you are looking for a bedside lamp for a guest room, make sure that it is a warm and inviting bed lamp that you get, instead of something bolder. Table lamps are available in any colour, size and shape and can add a soft ambient glow to the bedroom. If the room will be used for television watching or reading, Briar says one should consider purchasing two trilight lamps to set the ambience with the flick of a switch. For those who could use a little extra help or design inspiration, House Warmings offers one-hour consultations in clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes, which Briar says can get you started on the right path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In just one hour you can really get a lot done and help save your from making expensive mistakes.â&#x20AC;?

The long, hot days of summer may have come to an end, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to hang up your gardening gloves just yet. In addition to raking leaves, bringing hanging plants inside and placing lawn furniture in storage, now is the ideal time to start pruning. Autumn pruning is a great way to keep your shrubs and trees strong and healthy during the harsh winter months. The main goal of pruning is to add strength and vitality to shrubs, which will add fullness and allow shrubs to retain their shape and dimensions for many years to come. While keeping in mind that each perennial, shrub and tree has its own specific pruning rules to follow, there are some general guidelines that encompass most plants. Before you get started, it’s important to invest in the right tools, according to Celeste Paley, owner of West Coast Gardens in South Surrey. “Buy cheap pruners (secateurs); expect cheap

Civic reps voted to ask for tighter restrictions on boxing, wrestling and similar pro matches like mixedmartial arts. UBCM will ask the province to ban such events unless they’re regulated by an athletic commission. North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring said the move shouldn’t stamp out the popular fight events, but is merely an attempt to “set standards on this vastly growing sport.” – Jeff Nagel

After describing himself and Finance Minister Colin Hansen as figure skaters who “threw the HST in the air and promptly fell on our faces,” Campbell insisted he did not plan the tax ahead of last year’s election. In an hour-long address to delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, Campbell listed off a series of transportation projects that would be accelerated with the help of unspecified new private investment. They included extending SkyTrain from Surrey to Langley, RapidBus from Langley to Chilliwack, RapidBus from Kelowna to West Kelowna and also through Victoria. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said a lot of technical work needs to be done on the Surrey-Langley line before it can proceed.

Premier Gordon Campbell speaks to government representatives Friday.
Campbell promised more accelerated projects including transit for Prince George, Kamloops, Nanaimo and Courtenay-Comox, the four-laning of Highway 97 from Prince George to Cache Creek, and improvements to other portions of Highways 97, 16, 3 and 1. No specifics were available on the projects, most of which have been announced before in one form or another. NDP house leader Mike Farnworth was in the audience with hundreds of mayors
and councillors from around B.C. He said there were no substantial new initiatives. “This struck me as a farewell speech to the UBCM,” Farnworth said. “It was a speech that was looking back, and that this was a premier who was not planning on addressing the UBCM next year.” Campbell also announced: • a program to be developed to keep rural resource roads from being decommissioned; • expanded programs to mark the 100th anniversary of B.C.’s parks service next year; • a $1 million legacy fund for each community that hosts the B.C. Summer and Winter Games; • an additional $1 million each for the three regional pine beetle recovery committees; • three new totem poles at the legislature to represent the 2010 Olympics; • a system that will provide one criminal record check for volunteers at no cost to them; • a new marketing program to promote B.C. internationally.

Backstage Pass NEWS FROM BEHIND THE SCENES

f you like the scenery, furniture, and props of a play or TV show, you have the imagination of a Set Designer to thank. Drew Facey had the job of depicting a family home in 1937 Brooklyn. He talks about how he decided what the Jerome’s house would be like.
by Neil Simon October 7–23, 2010
A31
“I’ve lived in several homes built at the beginning of the last century, in close proximity to the ocean. There was always sand on the floor during the summer and seashells drying on the counter. I wanted this house to have that sense to it, so that you might imagine you feel the ocean breeze cooling it down in the dog days of summer, at the edge of the concrete and asphalt of Brooklyn. The set I designed is a well-loved old house. The show’s Director Natasha Nadir and I wanted a strong patina of wear and age, but also a clear sense that this was a home the family were
proud of and loved. It was also very important to us that it feel crowded. It needed to seem implausible that seven people could live here and not go crazy. Since the central character Eugene is a young writer, I also hinted at the pages of his journal at the edges of the walls. Fragments of text from Eugene’s monologues appear to peel back like the pages of a notebook. The Jeromes are the kind of generous people who take in family when times are tough. The original family of four has expanded to seven, so you needn’t worry about stopping by, they’ll be happy to set another place at the table for you.”

Minimum-wage debate erupts
A33
StarS reStaurant
Tom Fletcher Black Press
WHISTLER – Labour Minister Murray Coell’s comments about a review of B.C.’s minimum wage have prompted a sharp reaction from business and labour leaders. Coell called a news conference Thursday morning to clarify his remarks at a cabinet minister’s panel at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention and reported by Black Press Wednesday. He didn’t deny his earlier statements that marked the B.C. Liberals’ first departure from a policy that has held the minimum wage at $8 an hour since 2001. But Coell indicated Thursday the minimum wage has been reviewed frequently by the government, and insisted there are still other options to make life easier for B.C.’s lowest wage-earners. Asked when or if Canada’s lowest minimum wage would be increased, Coell replied, “it’s something we will consider in the future.” Asked if he still believes a higher minimum wage is a “job killer,” he replied, “I don’t think so.” B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair stood with reporters at a Whistler hotel to listen to Coell’s clarification, and interpreted it as a retreat to the government’s hard line.

“It’s very clear that he misspoke himself, that the government is not interested in raising the minimum wage, despite the fact the UBCM voted to raise it to $10 three years ago,” Sinclair said. Brian Bonney, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said small businesses have barely recovered

“The communities are so fed up with bearing the burden of the high cost of alcohol abuse,” Buchanan said. The tax shift to raise the cost of cheap high-strength booze wouldn’t alter the price of most beer and wine, she said. Low-alcohol beverages would actually get cheaper and, it’s thought, more popular, reducing related harm. “We don’t want to bother Joe Sixpack,” she said.

Cell phone comedy
White Rock Players Club opens its 66th season with the dark comedy Dead Man’s Cell Phone, by Sara Ruhl, opening Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Directed by Dave Carroll the play starts with two simple elements. A cellphone ringing insistently in a quiet cafe, and a stranger at the next table who has had enough. Throw in a dead man and a lot of loose ends and you have the premise for what the club describes as “a wildly imaginative, beguiling comedy.” It’s also the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically-obsessed world, plus an examination of how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us. Featured actors are Candace Marrington, Brent Cross, Rosemary Schuster, Melissa Pope, Scott Kristjanson and Kristina Herrod. The show runs to Oct. 23, with 8 p.m. performances, and a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Oct. 17. Tickets ($17, $15 for students seniors and Coast Capital Savings members) are available from 604-536-7535 or www. whiterockplayers.ca (tickets to a special gala performance, Saturday, Oct. 9, are $30 or $18 for students seniors and Coast Capital Savings members).

The Young People’s Theatre Company of Surrey is holding auditions for spots in upcoming shows. The company is seeking cast members for both Madelaine’s Christmas and The Orphan Train (seen above, with last year’s cast). Mould, a self-taught artist who grew up on Vancouver Island, specializes in producing small but colourful works that reflect the enjoyment of hiking and camping in the coastal forests and along the island shores. She will demonstrate her techniques for the public at the gallery on Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
McMahon’s work is done on rice paper, which is so absorbent that every brush stroke using ink or watercolour is set immediately. The artist says she has spent a lifetime being a careful observer of the natural world and delights in “catching a glimpse of the hidden side of life.” And she feels the discipline of making each brush

After a tough midweek loss last Wednesday to the Coquitlam Express, the Surrey Eagles bounced back in a big way on the weekend, winning both games of a northern B.C. road swing. The Birds – who are perched in second place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference, two points back of the Langley Chiefs – opened with a 2-1 win over the Quesnel Millionaires Friday, and on Saturday, knocked off the Prince George Spruce Kings by a 9-5 margin. “It was a good response to the loss in Coquitlam on Wednesday,” said Eagles’ coach Matt Erhart, adding that he was pleased his squad was able to adjust to playing the tighter-checking style that’s necessary in smaller rinks like the Quesnel Twin Arenas. “I thought the Quesnel game, in particular, was a good showing for our guys – that barn is about half the size of what our guys are used to at home… everywhere you go on the ice, somebody’s right next to you,” he said. “But defensively, we played well, and limited them to only 20 shots.” All three goals in the game came in the opening 20 minutes, with the Mills getting on the board first, on a goal from Devin Ballness, and Surrey replying with markers from Jeff Vanderlugt and Brad McGowan, the latter tally coming on the power play. On Saturday night in Prince George, with rookie netminder Andrew Hunt between the pipes, the Eagles’ defence was not nearly

Mike Krgovich paced the attack with two goals and an assist while Daniel Gentzler, with two goals and one assist, and rookie Brandon Morley, with one goal and one helper, each had multipoint nights. Other goals were tallied by Richard Vanderhoek, Ryan Luiten, Brad McGowan, Mitch Jones and Robert Lindores. “Defensively, we still need to work on some things, we got a little sloppy there once we got the lead,” Erhart said. “It was our third game in four nights, and I think maybe the guys got a little complacent when we went up by four in the first
period. “We have to make sure we don’t continue those bad habits.” Offensively, however, the firstyear head coach was pleased to see such a balanced scoring attack, in particular from Lindores, who opened the scoring. “We’re always looking for more secondary scoring, and we got great contributions from guys like Lindores, Krgovich, Michael Stenerson (who had two assists) and Ryan Luiten. It’s nice to see them rewarded,” Erhart said. In the 5-1 loss to Coquitlam last week, the second period proved to be the Eagles’ undoing – Coquitlam scored four times in the middle frame. Massimo Lamacchia, Garrick Perry and Jared Eng all scored power-play goals in a span of 11 � see page A39

Sick and Tired of Losing Money in Mutual Funds and the Stock Market? Think Getting 1 to 1½ % on Your Savings and GIC’s is a Bad Joke? Then Come to This FREE Event October 7 and ....
“Discover The #1 Investment SECRET the Big Canadian Banks and Mutual Fund Co.’s PRAY You Never Find Out...” (And That Your Accountant and Financial Planner Cannot Tell You)!
Darren Weeks, Canadian “Multi-Millionaire” (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven investment strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in White Rock on Thursday, October 7 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less! (No matter what is happening in the economy). He’s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD “The 7 Keys to Creating What your banker hopes you never learn. Wealth in Canada” – a $39.95 value – FREE of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)! Dear Financially Frustrated Fellow Canadian: The banks and mutual fund companies want to keep you in the dark. I know that those are strong words, and I wouldn’t be so bold in saying them if I couldn’t back it up. The truth of the matter is that I’m really ANGRY and I will NOT keep quiet any longer. My name is Darren Weeks and I want to show you a whole NEW world when it comes to getting ahead financially in Canada. This is the truth about investing that many in the ‘establishment’ really don’t want you to know. Forget what you learned (or didn’t learn) about money and investing in school or from your parents. What worked for their generation no longer works in today’s economy. And take everything you have heard about creating wealth from your banker and financial planner and flush it right down the toilet, because that is where it belongs. The next time your banker or mutual fund sales person (oh, sorry, I meant ‘financial planner’) suggests investing in some ‘wonderful’ mutual fund or stock – ask to see their audited financial statement. Chances are, they have a lot less money than you think (and quite probably a lot less than you have). Why continue to take financial advice from broke salespeople? It doesn’t make any sense. But Why Should You Listen To Me? Good question – you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more successful than you are. My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the “Canadian Rich Dad”. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I don’t have to work for) from my Investments and Businesses is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. It also has to do with the fact that I have a very close association with Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and that I have been sharing my “Canadianized” version of his teachings with hundreds of thousands of Canadians since 2001. I am very pleased that I have been able to show Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens of people (if not hundreds now) to become millionaires, or multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take the credit for their success – they took the action and actually did something – and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. Here are Some Credentials… My companies, The Fast Track Group, were honored to be included in the 2010 Profit Magazine list of the fastest growing companies in Canada. One of my companies is also the official sponsor of the Canadian Luge team, and we attracted quite a bit of notoriety in the press during the recent Vancouver Olympics when it was leaked that I offered anyone on the team a $1,000,000 reward if they won a Gold medal (and my offer still stands for the 2014 games in Russia)! I don’t say this to brag, I just tell you this to credentialize myself a bit, and to give you confidence that I am not some fly-by-night quack out trying to peddle you some modern-day financial ‘snake-oil’. I actually do what I am going to teach you about – it’s not theory – it really works. I’m living proof of it. So are my students.
Now let’s get back to the point at hand – how YOU can get superior Return On Investment (ROI) on your hard-earned investment dollars. Here’s What Not to Do: If you follow the establishment’s rules, you will… ✗ Pay the highest MER’s in the world. ✗ Create a house of cards based portfolio, largely reliant on the U.S. dollar. ✗ Listen to advisors whose advice is proven to be about as accurate as a monkey throwing darts at stock picks on the wall... ✗ Continue to walk ‘blind’ with Banks, Mutual Fund Co’s, and even the Canadian Government wanting to keep you in the dark ✗ Think you are happy with returns that don’t even keep up with the real inflation rate (and the ‘official’ inflation calculations are an absolute crock.) Here are the Benefits of DOING IT RIGHT: But... When you learn the New Rules of Investing, you will... ✔ Discover that high returns = high risk is not always accurate. ✔ See how easy it can be to take control of your own investing without having to pay huge M.E.R’s (management expense ratios) ✔ Understand the pro’s and con’s of investing in gold and silver.
for being suspicious...there are a lot of seminar companies out there that do just that. I assure you, I do not. We do have a selection of quality books and resources available if you are interested. But that is not the goal of me putting on this event. My goal is to give you some phenomenal education and information and to hopefully help you to have a complete mind-shift when it comes to money and creating wealth in Canada. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned from my good friend and mentor, Robert Kiyosaki, is this: Give first without expectation of gain, and you will gain a lot in the long run. So, if you like what I say, you may decide you want to do business with my company in the future. Fair enough?
CD (a $39.95 value). This is my gift to you, as my way of thanking you for bringing your spouse or a guest.
Of course, putting on these events is very expensive. So to help defray the costs I have a very few, select sponsors. You get a fantastic financial education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is…we all win!

If I’m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further…so, just for bringing your spouse or a like-minded guest to this FREE event, I want to give you another FREE gift…My “7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canada” audio
✔ Never want to see another mutual fund or G.I.C. ever again!
✔ Feel comfortable looking at different investment plans that may have baffled you before.
✔ See how Robert Kiyosaki analyzes deals and how you can do the same, easily.
But do you think ultra-rich Canadians pay that much in taxes? Of course not. They know the legal loop-holes to minimize their tax burden or even eliminate it altogether. As a part of this presentation, I will share with you the tax shrinking strategies of the wealthy (even used by one previous Prime Minister). So you can either complain, gripe and gnash your teeth about how unfair it all is, or you can learn the Rules of the Canadian Rich. The Golden Rule when it comes to money is “He (or She) Who Has the Gold...Makes the Rules”. I’m going to level the playing field with what I teach you at this event, so you can play the game of money just like the rich folks do. And Why is This Event FREE? Now if you have ever been to another ‘Free’ financial education seminar before, you are probably worried that I am going to get you all fired up and excited, and then pull the old ‘baitand-switch’ on you about half way through, (and try and sell you some super expensive investment or real estate course/training). I don’t blame you

Bayside U24s showing signs of improvement Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Bayside Sharks are still winless since deciding a season ago to field a younger team during the fall men’s rugby season, but there is finally light – and perhaps a win – at the
end of the tunnel. The U24 Sharks, who’ve been up against premier-level competition, are 0-4 this season, but that last two games – including Saturday’s 28-24 loss to UBC – have been close enough to give the team
hope that they can run with the top clubs. Two weeks ago, the Sharks lost 40-38 to the Vancouver Rowing Club. Last fall season, the team went 0-5. “The last two games have been so much better – they’ve both
basically been games decided on the last play, on the last possession,” said Bayside coach Brendan Singbeil. “We’re putting
Wave of medals at Senior Games Four Surrey members of the White Rock Wave Masters Swim Club found themselves on the podium at B.C. Senior Games in Comox last month. Alida Brichon, competing in the 65-69 year-old division, won gold medals in the 50-m backstroke and 100 breaststroke, silver in both the 25and 50-m breaststroke, and bronze in 25 freestyle and 25 back. Gladys Willmer finished with gold in the 25-m breast, silver in the 25 butterfly and bronze in both the 100
breast and 200 free. She also had two fourth-place swims. Ted Willmer, in the 55-59 men’s category, finished with four gold medals – in both the 25- and 50-m back and breaststroke events. He also scooped silver in the 25 and 50 free. In the men’s 70-74 year-old division, Tony Pease won gold in the 400 freestyle, to go with three silver medals – in 25, 100 and 200 free – and two bronze, in 50 and 800 free.
ourselves in a position to win now, which is a big improvement. The next thing we have to do is just get over that hump, and play a full 80
minutes.” What’s made the difference in the team’s play, Singbeil said, is simple – experience. “Now, we’ve got guys
who finally know what they need to do in games like this. Before, I think some of the guys were just a little bit overwhelmed.”

He was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Helen and his four younger brothers Erwyn, Edward, Howard, and Leonard. He resided in High Prairie, Alberta, Edmonton and then retired to White Rock where he loved to sit and watch the trains go by. John will always be remembered for his love and pride in his family, his outgoing personality, his twinkling eyes and lively sense of humour and for his help to many people throughout his life. At John’s request a private family service will be held in High Prairie at a later date.
Stan passed away September 30 after a long, courageously fought illness, his family by his side. Deeply adored and sadly missed, he is survived by his loving wife Eileen, daughter Barbara and son-inlaw Bjorn. Stan was predeceased by his son Alan. Stan was born January 29, 1926 in Northern Ireland. A veteran of WWII, he immigrated to Canada with his young family in 1952. Owning his own business which serviced the geophysical industry, Stan retired in 1976. Elected twice as a Member of Parliament he worked tirelessly for the riding of Kootenay East - Revelstoke. He was appointed to the Nat’l Parole Board in l989. Stan will be remembered by all who knew him for his warmth, his humor, and the ‘Black Velvet Band’. The family would like to thank his many loyal friends of the Rotary Club of White Rock for their love and support over the years. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Kidney Foundation of Canada B.C. Branch. A memorial will be held at the White Rock Rotary Club Field House, 2197 - 148 Street, October 17 @ 2:00 p.m.

Fall for latest beauty, health trends W
ith autumn leaves beginning to fall and crisper nights sure to follow, we can no longer deny that summer is officially over. If you’re feeling rather melancholy about packing away the flipflops, you will be soon be comforted by the fact that it is now boot and sweater weather – one of the hottest seasons for fashion. Along with a stylish new wardrobe, it’s also a great time to think about the season’s latest health and beauty trends. From makeup to skincare, hair and even teeth, fall 2010 offers a cornucopia of fresh ideas to help you rejuvenate your look. Good or bad, like fashion, beauty trends are almost always inspired by the runway. This fall is no different. If you were shocked by the recent resurgence of beauty and fashion trends from the ‘80s – a decade fraught with spiral perms and frosted lipgloss – you may be equally surprised by the inspiration for this fall’s hottest look: ‘90s grunge.
Exsqueeze me? Yes, it’s true. However, this time around, the casual, layered look is decidedly more upscale with no flannel in sight. However, if the new “posh-grunge” style isn’t your thing, “retro-glam” is another hot, more tailored, trend attracting significant attention this fall. Either-or, both styles have filtered down into hair and makeup, offering a trendy new look for the face too. However, while we all love a great makeover on the outside, the start of a new season is also prime time for a reconditioning on the inside. So once you’ve mastered the following hot new beauty trends, be sure to try out fall’s coolest new ways to stay healthy and fit.
Trendwatch
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
THINK PINK
Every October, the international community promotes Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In Canada, one woman in nine will be afflicted with this type of cancer during her lifetime. This is why it is so important to raise awareness of the ways to prevent this disease from developing.
Eyes As always there are two distinct makeup looks this season: one light and one dramatic. Eyeliner for the darker look is more precise, but equally as attentiongetting as last year’s smokey look. The new, upper-lid liner has a strong line, often turning up at the end to create a ‘cat eye’ look. On the opposite side, ‘nude’ face is showing up everywhere. To achieve the look, start with a good quality, light reflecting foundation. Skip the blush and, if you’re brave, even the mascara. Finish with bold lips and pressed powder.

Discover the power to change your life Retiree helps clients lose weight, quit smoking, overcome fears with the help of hypnosis Kristyl Clark Staff Reporter
When you are ready, take a deep breath. Hold it for a minute or two and let it go. Let yourself return to your own natural breathing and notice you are already beginning to feel more comfortable, automatically... Sitting in a plush reclining chair in a dimly-lit office inside the White Rock Wellness Centre, I felt as though I was slowly melting into my seat like a stick of warm, gooey butter. All the worries of the day were ❝I became completely indebted but distant memories as I and committed to concentrated on hypnotism. It really my breathing – inhale positive is a miraculous energy, check. phenomenon.❞ Exhale negative Eric Penman energy, (Ahh!). Eric Penman, a licensed hypnotist, new to White Rock, continued to expertly guide me into a deep state of blissful relaxation with his gentle voice and assertive tone. “Welcome back,” he announced, after what felt like ten minutes tops. As I opened my eyes, I felt totally refreshed and invigorated, but a little bit confused. The clock revealed I had been in a hypnotic state for more than half an hour. “You just experienced a small amount of hypnotic magic,” said Penman who has helped thousands of clients of all

Eric Penman has helped clients lose weight and keep it off for good with his weight loss program, which includes a copy of his book, permanent weight loss by hypnosis. ages and walks of life to lose weight, quit smoking, axe addictions, overcome fears, improve self esteem, experience painless childbirth and cease bedwetting. For Penman, who suffered from bedwetting until the age of 16, it was the latter which would spark a life-long interest in the natural healing technique that has been used for centuries all over the world.
“I had terrible self esteem from bed wetting,which was made worse by my older brother who enjoyed tormenting me about it. I became very depressed and withdrawn,” he said. When Penman heard over the radio that a hypnotist was in town and could cure several of life’s challenges, including bed wetting, he decided to give it a go. He had nothing to lose. “In five minutes or less I was cured,
he said matter-of-factly. “I never wet the bed again and I became instantly and completely indebted and committed to hypnotism. It really is a miraculous phenomenon.” Now at age 70, Eric, who recently moved to White Rock with his wife, Mary, to be close to their grandchildren, looks back at the session as a stepping stone towards a fulfilling career as a certified practical hypnotherapist. “It has been a wonderful career and a real privilege to help people discover the power to heal themselves,” he said. “I’ve had quite a few thank-you cards over the years.” One client Penman said he’ll never forget, is a woman who came to him, desperate to lose weight. “She was really quite severely depressed because she needed a hip replacement and her doctors wouldn’t allow her to have it until she started controlling her weight,” said Penman of the woman who weighed around 400 pounds. “I bumped into her later in a supermarket and I didn’t recognize her. She never did need that hip replacement. She told me ‘you saved my life.’’’ While Penman’s success rate is 100 per cent, he’s modest when it comes to taking any credit. “I’m just a facilitator who helps bring you down to your subconscious level.” For more information about Penman or his weight loss program, visit www. ericpenman.com

Spa puts men in the zone MenZone Hair Co. & Spa offers testosterone-friendly atmosphere With a history that dates back to the Roman Empire, the therapeutic use of spas has long been recognized for its myriad of health benefits. However, it has been just over 20 years since spa expert Heinz Schletterer developed the first modern wellness and spa concept that we are all familiar with today. Located in the Alpenrose Hotel on Lake Achensee in Austria, his groundbreaking facility was so well received, the hotel’s occupancy rate increased an incredible 98 per cent. Since then, the spa industry has been one of the world’s fastest growing industries, generating approximately $10 billion a year. And while the majority of spa goers has been women, a recent study by the Hartman Group indicates that more and

Sought out services at Men Zone Hair Co. & Spa include facials, massages, waxing and hot towel shaves. more men are heading to the spa for services that include massage, waxing, manicures, pedicures and facials. In fact, the research company found 29 per cent of today’s Canadian spa-goers are men – a number that is surely to continue to rise says Kim Hosler, owner of MenZone Hair Co. & Spa in South Surrey. “Guys are taking better care of themselves these days,” says Hosler, who
has more than 22 years experience in the industry. “We try to give them a really relaxed atmosphere that isn’t intimidating. It’s a different environment.” Featuring a flat screen TV (and no waterfalls in sight), the continual sports action seems to set a familiar tone so it’s not hard to see why most men feel right at home the moment they walk in the door.

A Do-it-yourself grooming tips Many other men prefer to keep their primping to the privacy of their own homes. If so, there are some minimal grooming issues that should be tackled. Eyebrows: Neat, uniform eyebrows are appealing to most people. That’s why waxing and threading stations have become so commonplace. At the very least, men should brush the hairs of their eyebrows in an upward direction and use a small, sharp scissor to cut any unruly or long hairs. If you have hairs growing between the brows, use a tweezer to remove them for a neater look. Nails: Clean, short nails are the mainstay of a successful-looking man. Take special care to wash under your fingernails, especially if you work in a
profession where your hands are likely to get dirty. Use a hand cream or even a little olive oil to tame dry cuticles. A sharp nail clipper used to cut nails straight across will keep them tidy. After you have done your fingernails, pay attention to your toenails as well. Guys who live in the warm weather and like to wear sandals should be especially concerned with the appearance of their feet. Skin: It’s important to take care of your skin, which includes using an SPF product daily. Many men fail to protect their skin from the sun, which can prove dangerous. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, and it doesn’t discriminate among men and women.
Stress reduction tops the list � see from page B5 styling, hot stone massages, custom skin-care facials and foot care, one of MenZone’s most popular spa services is a traditional hot towel shave, which provides deep pore cleansing and an ultra close shave. “It’s an art that is not commonly found today. It takes about an hour and includes a facial and a massage. It’s the perfect gift for the guy who has everything.” Hosler says other sought-after services include eyebrow, back and chest waxing, as well as grey blending, a five to 10-minute hair colouring technique that “takes years off” without completely covering grey hair.
While her clients may look fabulous when they walk out the door, Hosler says more and more men are beginning to see the important physical and psychological benefits of regular visits to the spa. At the top of the list, she says, is stress reduction. Studies have shown that long-term stress can cause decreased productivity, insomnia, head and muscle aces, decreased sexual desire, depressed immunity and high blood pressure, which can increase the risk for stroke and heart attack. “Once they get used to the idea of a spa, they’re hooked. We even give them control of the clicker.”

Helping courageous women look great South Surrey salon owner shares her “incredible” experience with cancer patients
Christie Judson
Special to Peace Arch News
Thanks to research and cutting-edge therapies, today’s survival rates for many cancers, including prostate, thyroid, testicular, melanoma and breast cancer, are very high. Unfortunately, however, treatment can come with unpleasant side effects. In the case of chemotherapy, some patients experience pain, infection, nausea and vomiting, anemia, fatique and, often times, hair loss. According to doctors, despite the physical discomfort associated with other side effects, hair loss can often be the most distressing side effect of all. For many women dealing with hair loss due to chemotherapy or other health issues, such as alopecia areata and lupus, wigs can often restore lost self esteem and confidence. “Wigs today are so light and they look very real,” said Mareth Hunter, wig specialist and owner of Mareth’s Hair Studio in South Surrey. “They are very different from what was available in the past.” Touched by the stories of the many people on the Peninsula dealing with cancer, Hunter began offering wig sales and service approximately 12 years ago. “I felt the need to help people,” said Hunter, who has been operating her hair salon in White Rock-South Surrey for 25 years. “It is very humbling when you see how grateful people are.”

Wig specialist Mareth Hunter has a wide range of wigs that she personally fits for clients who have suffered hair loss from chemotherapy treatments. While many of her clients choose wigs and brunettes sometimes like to go really light,” she said. “Everybody’s that are the same colour as their natural hair, Hunter says some women like to different.” However, Hunter says the women do try something totally different. share one thing in common: courage. “Blondes sometimes try red or brown

“The way these women deal with it really makes me think about things,” she said. “And they are always so appreciative, but they don’t realize how much I get out of it too. The stories I’ve heard are incredible.” Hunter does not charge for her consultations, which often take up to two hours. She schedules the appointments at the end of the work day to give her clients privacy and so that she has time to talk at length. While she admits it is difficult to see her clients dealing with cancer, Hunter says she has to “rise above it” so that she can “do her job” and help her clients feel better. “I never make eye contact when I’m shaving the hair off,” said Hunter. “It can be very emotional for some people. They don’t need me looking at them. When it is gone, I put on the wig and that’s when we can look at it together and make any final adjustments.” Hunter often receives hugs from her appreciative clients, but is quick to downplay her special role. “I figure if I have something to contribute to people, why not put it to good use? It’s the least I can do.” To make a hair donation to BC Cancer Agency or Canadian Cancer Agency, hair must be a minimum of eight inches in length and cannot be permed or coloured.

A journey down the rabbit hole
Recent breast cancer patient shares her personal story of fear, pain and survival
Leslie Hilts
Special to Peace Arch News
It is early September. Solitude and flawless beauty envelop me. Sunlight filters through the leafy undersides of a lanky nondescript tree high above a clear, cobalt blue sky. Warm mid-afternoon air settles as I lay on my back trying to find a comfortable spot my body won’t recoil from. Musky earth scent beneath me, gravity pins me down as atoms swirl about their task. A soft audible breeze flows through the branches of my tree, the only sound I’ve heard for over an hour unless you count the few people walking their respective dogs far across the field my tree resides in. They talk in muted tones, some more animated in conversation, dogs by their sides at ease with their owners. I consider the perfectness of the moment as I lift my book aloft and sleepily reflect on the summer of 2010. I am 60 years old. My health routine always included an annual mammogram. This year brought many additional tests, and by mid-May I’d been

next, I was making plans to rid myself of the structure that had given my body balance,
with an artist’s eye to the loss of my own private, feminine beauty. Memories flowed through me. A lovers’ tender caress. Embracing a sleeping grandchild resting gently against my chest. And long ago, as a new mother cradling my babies, nourishing them with milk from my miraculous body. Overcome with anxiety and shock, I uncharacteristically grappled with society’s relentless depiction of how females must look to be regarded as ‘womanly.’ And then from a feminist viewpoint, breasts as erotic objects of fantasy rather than the dignified life-force that feeds our children. I decided I didn’t want reconstruction to help make me feel as I had always been, that which could never be replaced. Acceptance slowly grew around the impending loss of the soft, familiar parts of me I’d always taken for granted. And so another life challenge loomed large. A very difficult one indeed. Throughout my journey I talked with fellow survivors

Heel and pamper your feet Millions of dollars are spent every year by women and men who want to pamper their feet. While the pedicure has evolved into a spa treatment in recent years, it really has its roots as a medical procedure designed to care for ailing feet. Cracked, dry heels is one condition that can cause embarrassment and even pain. In many cases, this common problem is caused by dry skin, the presence of calluses and prolonged pressure on the heel, particularly for people with a job that requires a lot of standing. People with severely dry heels have been known to wear through pantyhose or socks, and may experience cracking so advanced that heels ache or bleed. Let Koi Day Spa banish cracked, dry heels, by enjoying one of their signature pedicures, which includes an organic foot scrub leaving the feet glowing, followed by a warm stone massage and white tea-hydrating masque. “Your feet will be thanking you for this ultimate in pampering,” says owner Stephanie Nelson. “Finish this treatment with choice of formaldehyde free OPI polish.” Those who want to take additional steps to promote foot health and an attractive appearance should consider these additional foot care tips: * Wash and soak your feet daily for cleanliness and be careful to rinse off all soap, especially between toes. * When clipping toenails, do so straight across, to prevent the formation of ingrown toenails. Do so after a bath or shower so that the nails will be soft and easier to cut.

Pedicures have become a popular spa treatment for both men and women.
* Wear shoes and socks that fit correctly. Otherwise you risk corns and calluses, which can be painful and unsightly. Limit the use of high heels, which put unnatural pressure on the balls of the feet. * Regularly slough off dead skin that forms on the feet with a pumice stone. * If you are a diabetic, foot care is essential. Regularly inspect your feet for any cuts, blisters or calluses. Consult with a podiatrist for treatment. * If you frequent a gym, locker room or public pool, do not walk around barefoot -- use a pair of sandals or flip-flops. This protects your feet from bacteria or fungus that may be present on the floor. * Walk around the home in bare feet frequently. It stretches out the tendons and ligaments of the foot and promotes circulation.

Discover holistic beauty Practised in China for thousands of years to treat pain, acupuncture is probably one of the most peculiar, if not interesting, forms of alternative treatment there is. Based on extremely complex theories of how energy flows throughout the body, this technique has changed very little over time, further proof of its exceptional effectiveness. Acupuncture involves piercing a patient’s skin with tiny needles to treat various illnesses and conditions. The therapeutic effect of acupuncture depends primarily on the practitioner’s ability to precisely locate the many pressure points that are found along the body. Often in acupuncture you hear of “stimulating the peripheral nerves” that can alter the message of pain that the nervous system sends to the brain. While the thought of being pricked by needles might not seem pleasant to some people, acupuncture is actually painless. In fact, it is considered to be a gentle and noninvasive approach for the

For example, acupuncture offers great results in treating allergies. For those who are dead set against needles, there is a needle-less form of acupuncture called acupressure. This treatment is based on massage techniques and is a simplified form of acupuncture.

Li also treats patients suffering from pain relating to car accidents and sports injuries. If you’re looking to reduce lines and wrinkles, but don’t want to take the route of Botox injections, consider facial acupuncture for skin rejuvenation and tightening. The Acupuncture Face Lift is a holistic alternative to plastic surgery, Botox injections, collagen injections, and laser/ chemical peels. It is one procedure for your face rather than 3, 4, or 5 different and expensive procedures. There are no negative side effects. Your face will never look stretched, burned, puffy, or “banded.” “This series of treatments increases blood circulation to the face promoting collagen production for increased muscle tone and elasticity,” says Li. Here are some of the results you may expect from an Acupuncture face lift: • Skin becomes more delicate and fair • The elasticity of facial muscles improves (also helps prevent wrinkles from forming!) • Reduction of wrinkles • Erasing of fine lines and reduction of deeper lines • Firming of bags • Reduction of sagginess • Lifting of droopy eyelids • Minimization of double chins • Clearing or reduction of age spots Have you ever wondered why Oriental
women seem to have an ageless appearance? Smoother, softer, more beautiful skin? For thousands of years, the smooth clear skin of Chinese empresses has been admired by women all over the world, a secret that Li is thrilled to share with her clients – pearl powder. “You just put it on at night with your moisturizer... it’s truly the best nutrition you can give your skin,” says Li, who offers the product to clients at her practice. Research in China has proved that pearls have a beneficial effect on the skin. Pearl powder prevents pigmentation by showing down the development of melanin, which controls the colour pigments of the skin. “After just a few applications your skin will be clear, smooth and have a sheer, radiant glow,” assures Li. Experts also claim that pearl powder can correct the damage done to the skin by the sun. But pearl powder, isn’t just for topical used, explains Li. “Used internally, pearl powder is believed to offer a whole host of health benefits.” Such health benefits include: detoxifying the system; cleaning and clearing the skin; removing age and liver spots on the skin; giving the skin a younger appearance; adjusting the body energy; calming the liver; relieving stress from the mind; treating a sore throat, adjusting the nervous system, regulating the metabolism, improving eyesight, treating insomnia and energizing the body.

Fall for latest beauty, health trends W
ith autumn leaves beginning to fall and crisper nights sure to follow, we can no longer deny that summer is officially over. If you’re feeling rather melancholy about packing away the flipflops, you will be soon be comforted by the fact that it is now boot and sweater weather – one of the hottest seasons for fashion. Along with a stylish new wardrobe, it’s also a great time to think about the season’s latest health and beauty trends. From makeup to skincare, hair and even teeth, fall 2010 offers a cornucopia of fresh ideas to help you rejuvenate your look. Good or bad, like fashion, beauty trends are almost always inspired by the runway. This fall is no different. If you were shocked by the recent resurgence of beauty and fashion trends from the ‘80s – a decade fraught with spiral perms and frosted lipgloss – you may be equally surprised by the inspiration for this fall’s hottest look: ‘90s grunge.
Exsqueeze me? Yes, it’s true. However, this time around, the casual, layered look is decidedly more upscale with no flannel in sight. However, if the new “posh-grunge” style isn’t your thing, “retro-glam” is another hot, more tailored, trend attracting significant attention this fall. Either-or, both styles have filtered down into hair and makeup, offering a trendy new look for the face too. However, while we all love a great makeover on the outside, the start of a new season is also prime time for a reconditioning on the inside. So once you’ve mastered the following hot new beauty trends, be sure to try out fall’s coolest new ways to stay healthy and fit.
Trendwatch
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
THINK PINK
Every October, the international community promotes Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In Canada, one woman in nine will be afflicted with this type of cancer during her lifetime. This is why it is so important to raise awareness of the ways to prevent this disease from developing.
Eyes As always there are two distinct makeup looks this season: one light and one dramatic. Eyeliner for the darker look is more precise, but equally as attentiongetting as last year’s smokey look. The new, upper-lid liner has a strong line, often turning up at the end to create a ‘cat eye’ look. On the opposite side, ‘nude’ face is showing up everywhere. To achieve the look, start with a good quality, light reflecting foundation. Skip the blush and, if you’re brave, even the mascara. Finish with bold lips and pressed powder.

“I had terrible self esteem from bed wetting,which was made worse by my older brother who enjoyed tormenting me about it. I became very depressed and withdrawn,” he said. When Penman heard over the radio that a hypnotist was in town and could cure several of life’s challenges, including bed wetting, he decided to give it a go. He had nothing to lose. “In five minutes or less I was cured,
he said matter-of-factly. “I never wet the bed again and I became instantly and completely indebted and committed to hypnotism. It really is a miraculous phenomenon.” Now at age 70, Eric, who recently moved to White Rock with his wife, Mary, to be close to their grandchildren, looks back at the session as a stepping stone towards a fulfilling career as a certified practical hypnotherapist. “It has been a wonderful career and a real privilege to help people discover the power to heal themselves,” he said. “I’ve had quite a few thank-you cards over the years.” One client Penman said he’ll never forget, is a woman who came to him, desperate to lose weight. “She was really quite severely depressed because she needed a hip replacement and her doctors wouldn’t allow her to have it until she started controlling her weight,” said Penman of the woman who weighed around 400 pounds. “I bumped into her later in a supermarket and I didn’t recognize her. She never did need that hip replacement. She told me ‘you saved my life.’’’ While Penman’s success rate is 100 per cent, he’s modest when it comes to taking any credit. “I’m just a facilitator who helps bring you down to your subconscious level.” For more information about Penman or his weight loss program, visit www. ericpenman.com

Spa puts men in the zone
MenZone Hair Co. & Spa offers testosterone-friendly atmosphere With a history that dates back to the Roman Empire, the therapeutic use of spas has long been recognized for its myriad of health benefits. However, it has been just over 20 years since spa expert Heinz Schletterer developed the first modern wellness and spa concept that we are all familiar with today. Located in the Alpenrose Hotel on Lake Achensee in Austria, his groundbreaking facility was so well received, the hotel’s occupancy rate increased an incredible 98 per cent. Since then, the spa industry has been one of the world’s fastest growing industries, generating approximately $10 billion a year. And while the majority of spa goers has been women, a recent study by the Hartman Group indicates that more and

Sought out services at Men Zone Hair Co. & Spa include facials, massages, waxing and hot towel shaves. more men are heading to the spa for services that include massage, waxing, manicures, pedicures and facials. In fact, the research company found 29 per cent of today’s Canadian spa-goers are men – a number that is surely to continue to rise says Kim Hosler, owner of MenZone Hair Co. & Spa in South Surrey. “Guys are taking better care of themselves these days,” says Hosler, who
has more than 22 years experience in the industry. “We try to give them a really relaxed atmosphere that isn’t intimidating. It’s a different environment.” Featuring a flat screen TV (and no waterfalls in sight), the continual sports action seems to set a familiar tone so it’s not hard to see why most men feel right at home the moment they walk in the door.

A Do-it-yourself grooming tips Many other men prefer to keep their primping to the privacy of their own homes. If so, there are some minimal grooming issues that should be tackled. Eyebrows: Neat, uniform eyebrows are appealing to most people. That’s why waxing and threading stations have become so commonplace. At the very least, men should brush the hairs of their eyebrows in an upward direction and use a small, sharp scissor to cut any unruly or long hairs. If you have hairs growing between the brows, use a tweezer to remove them for a neater look. Nails: Clean, short nails are the mainstay of a successful-looking man. Take special care to wash under your fingernails, especially if you work in a
profession where your hands are likely to get dirty. Use a hand cream or even a little olive oil to tame dry cuticles. A sharp nail clipper used to cut nails straight across will keep them tidy. After you have done your fingernails, pay attention to your toenails as well. Guys who live in the warm weather and like to wear sandals should be especially concerned with the appearance of their feet. Skin: It’s important to take care of your skin, which includes using an SPF product daily. Many men fail to protect their skin from the sun, which can prove dangerous. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, and it doesn’t discriminate among men and women.
Stress reduction tops the list see from page B5 styling, hot stone massages, custom skin-care facials and foot care, one of MenZone’s most popular spa services is a traditional hot towel shave, which provides deep pore cleansing and an ultra close shave. “It’s an art that is not commonly found today. It takes about an hour and includes a facial and a massage. It’s the perfect gift for the guy who has everything.” Hosler says other sought-after services include eyebrow, back and chest waxing, as well as grey blending, a five to 10-minute hair colouring technique that “takes years off” without completely covering grey hair.
While her clients may look fabulous when they walk out the door, Hosler says more and more men are beginning to see the important physical and psychological benefits of regular visits to the spa. At the top of the list, she says, is stress reduction. Studies have shown that long-term stress can cause decreased productivity, insomnia, head and muscle aces, decreased sexual desire, depressed immunity and high blood pressure, which can increase the risk for stroke and heart attack. “Once they get used to the idea of a spa, they’re hooked. We even give them control of the clicker.”

Helping courageous women look great South Surrey salon owner shares her “incredible” experience with cancer patients
Christie Judson Special to Peace Arch News
Thanks to research and cutting-edge therapies, today’s survival rates for many cancers, including prostate, thyroid, testicular, melanoma and breast cancer, are very high. Unfortunately, however, treatment can come with unpleasant side effects. In the case of chemotherapy, some patients experience pain, infection, nausea and vomiting, anemia, fatique and, often times, hair loss. According to doctors, despite the physical discomfort associated with other side effects, hair loss can often be the most distressing side effect of all. For many women dealing with hair loss due to chemotherapy or other health issues, such as alopecia areata and lupus, wigs can often restore lost self esteem and confidence. “Wigs today are so light and they look very real,” said Mareth Hunter, wig specialist and owner of Mareth’s Hair Studio in South Surrey. “They are very different from what was available in the past.” Touched by the stories of the many people on the Peninsula dealing with cancer, Hunter began offering wig sales and service approximately 12 years ago. “I felt the need to help people,” said Hunter, who has been operating her hair salon in White Rock-South Surrey for 25 years. “It is very humbling when you see how grateful people are.”

Wig specialist Mareth Hunter has a wide range of wigs that she personally fits for clients who have suffered hair loss from chemotherapy treatments. While many of her clients choose wigs and brunettes sometimes like to go really light,” she said. “Everybody’s that are the same colour as their natural hair, Hunter says some women like to different.” However, Hunter says the women do try something totally different. share one thing in common: courage. “Blondes sometimes try red or brown

³ ZERO Pain, ZERO Surgery, ZERO Downtime ³ Reduce stubborn fat from your tummy, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, love handles, arms, chin and neck
“The way these women deal with it really makes me think about things,” she said. “And they are always so appreciative, but they don’t realize how much I get out of it too. The stories I’ve heard are incredible.” Hunter does not charge for her consultations, which often take up to two hours. She schedules the appointments at the end of the work day to give her clients privacy and so that she has time to talk at length. While she admits it is difficult to see her clients dealing with cancer, Hunter says she has to “rise above it” so that she can “do her job” and help her clients feel better. “I never make eye contact when I’m shaving the hair off,” said Hunter. “It can be very emotional for some people. They don’t need me looking at them. When it is gone, I put on the wig and that’s when we can look at it together and make any final adjustments.” Hunter often receives hugs from her appreciative clients, but is quick to downplay her special role. “I figure if I have something to contribute to people, why not put it to good use? It’s the least I can do.” To make a hair donation to BC Cancer Agency or Canadian Cancer Agency, hair must be a minimum of eight inches in length and cannot be permed or coloured. For more information, contact Mareth’s Hair Studio at 604-536-2563 or visit www.cancer.ca or www.bccancer.

Heel and pamper your feet Millions of dollars are spent every year by women and men who want to pamper their feet. While the pedicure has evolved into a spa treatment in recent years, it really has its roots as a medical procedure designed to care for ailing feet. Cracked, dry heels is one condition that can cause embarrassment and even pain. In many cases, this common problem is caused by dry skin, the presence of calluses and prolonged pressure on the heel, particularly for people with a job that requires a lot of standing. People with severely dry heels have been known to wear through pantyhose or socks, and may experience cracking so advanced that heels ache or bleed. Let Koi Day Spa banish cracked, dry heels, by enjoying one of their signature pedicures, which includes an organic foot scrub leaving the feet glowing, followed by a warm stone massage and white tea-hydrating masque. “Your feet will be thanking you for this ultimate in pampering,” says owner Stephanie Nelson. “Finish this treatment with choice of formaldehyde free OPI polish.” Those who want to take additional steps to promote foot health and an attractive appearance should consider these additional foot care tips: * Wash and soak your feet daily for cleanliness and be careful to rinse off all soap, especially between toes. * When clipping toenails, do so straight across, to prevent the formation of ingrown toenails. Do so after a bath or shower so that the nails will be soft and easier to cut.

Pedicures have become a popular spa treatment for both men and women. * Wear shoes and socks that fit correctly. Otherwise you risk corns and calluses, which can be painful and unsightly. Limit the use of high heels, which put unnatural pressure on the balls of the feet. * Regularly slough off dead skin that forms on the feet with a pumice stone. * If you are a diabetic, foot care is essential. Regularly inspect your feet for any cuts, blisters or calluses. Consult with a podiatrist for treatment. * If you frequent a gym, locker room or public pool, do not walk around barefoot -- use a pair of sandals or flip-flops. This protects your feet from bacteria or fungus that may be present on the floor. * Walk around the home in bare feet frequently. It stretches out the tendons and ligaments of the foot and promotes circulation.

Discover holistic beauty Practised in China for thousands of years to treat pain, acupuncture is probably one of the most peculiar, if not interesting, forms of alternative treatment there is. Based on extremely complex theories of how energy flows throughout the body, this technique has changed very little over time, further proof of its exceptional effectiveness. Acupuncture involves piercing a patient’s skin with tiny needles to treat various illnesses and conditions. The therapeutic effect of acupuncture depends primarily on the practitioner’s ability to precisely locate the many pressure points that are found along the body. Often in acupuncture you hear of “stimulating the peripheral nerves” that can alter the message of pain that the nervous system sends to the brain. While the thought of being pricked by needles might not seem pleasant to some people, acupuncture is actually painless. In fact, it is considered to be a gentle and noninvasive approach for the

Li also treats patients suffering from pain relating to car accidents and sports injuries. If you’re looking to reduce lines and wrinkles, but don’t want to take the route of Botox injections, consider facial acupuncture for skin rejuvenation and tightening. The Acupuncture Face Lift is a holistic alternative to plastic surgery, Botox injections, collagen injections, and laser/ chemical peels. It is one procedure for your face rather than 3, 4, or 5 different and expensive procedures. There are no negative side effects. Your face will never look stretched, burned, puffy, or “banded.” “This series of treatments increases blood circulation to the face promoting collagen production for increased muscle tone and elasticity,” says Li. Here are some of the results you may expect from an Acupuncture face lift: • Skin becomes more delicate and fair • The elasticity of facial muscles improves (also helps prevent wrinkles from forming!) • Reduction of wrinkles • Erasing of fine lines and reduction of deeper lines • Firming of bags • Reduction of sagginess • Lifting of droopy eyelids • Minimization of double chins • Clearing or reduction of age spots Have you ever wondered why Oriental
women seem to have an ageless appearance? Smoother, softer, more beautiful skin? For thousands of years, the smooth clear skin of Chinese empresses has been admired by women all over the world, a secret that Li is thrilled to share with her clients – pearl powder. “You just put it on at night with your moisturizer... it’s truly the best nutrition you can give your skin,” says Li, who offers the product to clients at her practice. Research in China has proved that pearls have a beneficial effect on the skin. Pearl powder prevents pigmentation by showing down the development of melanin, which controls the colour pigments of the skin. “After just a few applications your skin will be clear, smooth and have a sheer, radiant glow,” assures Li. Experts also claim that pearl powder can correct the damage done to the skin by the sun. But pearl powder, isn’t just for topical used, explains Li. “Used internally, pearl powder is believed to offer a whole host of health benefits.” Such health benefits include: detoxifying the system; cleaning and clearing the skin; removing age and liver spots on the skin; giving the skin a younger appearance; adjusting the body energy; calming the liver; relieving stress from the mind; treating a sore throat, adjusting the nervous system, regulating the metabolism, improving eyesight, treating insomnia and energizing the body.
