Teachers begin job action as students head back to class

Olga Canlas, a kindergarten teacher at Prince Charles Elementary, prepares her classroom for today’s return of students.

This year, all kindergarten students in B.C. will attend class for a full day, an extension of a provincewide program that began last fall, when more than half of Delta and Surrey schools began offering full days rather than the previous half days of instruction for kindergarten kids.

Disputes cast dark shadow on school year

by Tom Fletcher A WORK-TO-RULE campaign by

public school teachers, set to begin on the first day of school, is only one dispute expected in education in the coming year.

The B.C. Teachers Federation (BCTF) filed strike notice that took effect this morning (Tuesday).

The BCTF says phase one will be to refuse administrative duties such as meeting with principals, supervising playgrounds and writing report cards.

The union and the employers’ association are far apart on a range of issues, including salary and a list of benefit improvements sought by Susan Lambert the BCTF. One major point in dispute is the meaning of a B.C. Supreme Court decision handed down this spring on the government’s 2002 removal of class size and composition from teacher bargaining. BCTF president Susan Lambert says the decision means the government must add $336 million to the public school budget to guarantee a level of service.

“Teachers are determined in this round of bargaining to regain those lost services, jobs and See SURREY / Page 5

Full steam ahead for full-day kindergarten Longer, six-hour program benefits children, say educators

by Maria Spitale-Leisk WITH FULL-DAY kindergarten now the only option at B.C. public schools this year, educators, parents and kids are making adjustments – not only to their schedules, but their mindsets.

While kindergarten students have traditionally attended school for half days only, this September marks the first school year that all-day kindergarten is offered at every elementary school in the province.

The full-day program was phased in beginning last year, offered in 82 Surrey schools and two-thirds of Delta elementary schools.

Parents, says Surrey District Parent Advisory Council co-chair Bob Holmes, have mixed feelings on the longer school day.

“Some parents love it, others not so much,” said Holmes.

He reasons that kids entering kindergarten are at varying developmental stages because, while many might be five years old, some are still only four for the first few months of school.

“A full day/half day option would have been nice,” he said.

New schedules for high schools

Police conduct interviews (inset photo) after more than a dozen highend vehicles, including this Lamborghini Gallardo, were spotted racing at speeds of up to 200 km/h on Highway 99 last Wednesday. The drivers, who are all 20 years of age or younger, were charged and fined and had their vehicles impounded.

Overcrowded Lord Tweedsmuir and Earl Marriott stagger timetables

by Alex Browne EARL MARRIOTT Secondary is keeping fingers crossed that the new five block school day is going to work and reduce overcrowding in the school as students return for the fall term.

The South Surrey school and Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary are experimenting with versions of a five-block schedule to stagger student presence in a district that has seen no new school construction in half a decade.

“We’re distributing the population over five blocks instead of four,” explained Marriott principal Peter Johnston last week, adding that the school day will begin with mainly Grade 8s and 9s for the first period at 8 a.m., with older grades being phased in starting with the second period at 9:25 a.m.

He noted Marriott – which is “significantly larger” in population than Tweedsmuir – is implementing the five-block system a little differently, taking the added step of setting up two lunch periods to avoid packing the cafeteria area.

Tweedsmuir principal Allan Buggie said the new schedule there has lined up well.

“Were not expecting any problems at all,” he said. “The co-operation has been tremendous from teachers, kids and parents.”

But Johnston said that while everything is in place for the new system at Marriott, “the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

“We don’t really know how it’s going to work until the students are in school,” he said. “Check back with me in a week’s time.

“We’ve got all the blocks lined up, we’ve freed up the space, the teachers are happy, we’ve given the students all the classes they wanted – but we haven’t tried all the logistics of running it.”

The ultimate answer is still new school construction, he agreed.

“We’re still advocating very hard for a new school in the South Surrey area, and the funding capital to reduce the stress on schools. For our parents committee, particularly, that’s a number-one priority.”

All day: Play-based learning key From page 1 Holmes also questions the timing of the move to full-day kindergarten, however.

“This is not a change that parents were clamouring for, so it might have been better to get through the current period where (school) districts are making cuts every year and use the funds for other school needs, then introduce full-day kindergarten when the economy had turned around.”

At Prince Charles Elementary in Whalley last week, kindergarten teacher Olga Canlas was busy rearranging furniture and preparing her brightly coloured classroom for the arrival of little learners today.

Full-day kindergarten is not new to her. For several years now, Canlas has taught ESL, special needs and aboriginal students who have had access to the all-day program.

AN INVITATION TO A PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Re: Public Open Houses to provide input on the Draft City of Surrey Dog Off Leash Strategy (2011 – 2020) You are invited to a public open house to provide input on the City of Surrey’s Draft Dog off Leash Strategy (2011 – 2020) including 12 potential fenced off leash park sites.

Information on the process to date and the draft strategy will be on display. In addition, concept drawings of 12 proposed fenced dog off leash sites will also be on display. Staff will be on hand to receive community feedback and priorities. This information will help guide the development of a final preferred Strategy to be completed in the winter of 2011. The Strategy will provide direction to the City of Surrey in the provision, construction and maintenance of dog off leash sites in Surrey and make recommendations on proposed park sites.

The Open Houses will be located throughout Surrey in the month of September. Residents are encouraged to attend the Open House planned for their area.

Time: All Open Houses will run from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Southmere Village Park Detention Pond Cleanout The City of Surrey is holding a Public Open House to obtain public feedback on plans for cleaning the two detention ponds located in Southmere Village Park.

We are looking for your input on this project and invite City of Surrey Residents to attend the open house to learn more.

When: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 Where: HT Thrift Elementary School 1739-148 Street, Surrey Time: 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The Southmere Village Park was constructed in 1979 and includes two large detention ponds that provide stormwater management benefits to Dupreze Ravine. Over the past 30 years, sediment has accumulated in the ponds limiting their functioning. The total estimated volume of sediment to be removed is 1,000 cu.m.

Weather permitting this work is scheduled for this fall and will last approximately 4 weeks. Presentation drawings illustrating the upcoming cleanout works will be viewable at the open house.

We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss any concerns/questions you may have. If you are unable to attend the open house, the display panels and feedback form will be made available on the City website shortly after the open house.

If you have any questions regarding the open house, please contact the City of Surrey Engineering Department at 604-591-4340.

District, echoes Canlas’ sentiments.

“We have learned that it’s a positive experience for kids,” she says.

“Teachers have so much more time to go over the curriculum and expand on ideas.”

She sometimes has to explain to parents that kindergarten does not include an introduction of the Grade 1 curriculum and is also slowerpaced and includes rest time.

“That was the fear that some parents had – making kindergarten too academic too soon,” says Gelmon.

In terms of separation anxiety, she says a great number of kids have already been away from their parents during the day, either at preschool or daycare.

As of Aug. 30, 4,650 kindergarten students were registered in the Surrey School District.

A number of capital projects have been required to accommodate the move to full-day kindergarten in Surrey, including 26 new modular classrooms at 18 different school sites, and 32 new classrooms through six additions at A.J. McLellan, Cambridge, Chimney Hill, Hazelgrove, Hillcrest and T.E. Scott elementaries.

Overall, enrolment this year in Surrey will be about 70,000 students, an increase of approximately 900 from last year.

In the Delta School District, 1,012 kids are projected to attend kindergarten this year.

General enrolment in Delta is expected to hover close to last year’s number of about 15,970.

Missing: From page 3 Stephen’s dad Malcolm Begg spoke about his son’s struggle with alcoholism and depression.

He revealed Stephen was in hospital last year with alcohol-related liver and kidney problems – and was also down about his inability to find work.

HIGH-END CAR RACERS

RAESIDE

Cool stupidity

W

hite Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet had it right when she summarized the array of high-end, high-speed vehicles pulled over in White Rock and South Surrey last week.

“Some of these, we’ve only seen in movies,” she said.

Indeed, the scenario that played out here Wednesday afternoon had all the trappings of a summer flick – a bad one. Teenagers, fast cars, an apparent race to one of Canada’s most popular beaches. It’s the acme of cool imagery for the widescreen or the X-Box. One problem. It wasn’t a movie. The cars were real and so was the danger. As the message of an award-winning student commercial for ICBC earlier this year asserted, “speeding is only cool in the movies.” It’s a message the young people involved, all from Vancouver and Richmond, have apparently not spent any time absorbing.

Their attention has been focused on very expensive toys – Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Mercedes, Aston Martins and high-end, high performance Audis and Nissans.

These are the kind of sleek, glossy cars designed to do just two things: One, inspire a Pavlovian reaction among car buffs; two, travel very, very fast.

If you were caught carrying a loaded gun, you might claim it was for your own, or someone else’s, protection. But these arrogant upstarts – most of them under 20, several without their full licences – clearly weren’t interested in protecting anyone, least of all themselves.

Fueled by hormones, bravado and what must be an inexhaustible supply of cash, they chose to play their deadly game of tag on streets where ordinary people – mothers, fathers, seniors, children and other teens – have every right to live their lives with some expectation of survival.

Fortunately some kind of guardian angel – not to mention the diligent officers of Deas Island, Surrey and White Rock – intervened.

These aggressive teens’ high-speed fantasy didn’t have a violent, bloody end, for which we can only be thankful. They lived and were able to be coolly insolent, or flip the bird, while officers attempted to educate them.

As many have noted online, the $196-fines they received are “chump change” for such well-heeled miscreants. They will go on, on a fast path to their inevitable fates.

Pray they do not waste innocent lives in the process of racing to their own ultimate dates with death.

ill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to.

Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car.

He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress.

Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months.

That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST. The finance ministry provided some details to get a better sense of the task

Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking.

The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised?

These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in deficit.

• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored.

In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-efficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances.

The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Noise is a health issue ANDREW HOLOTA’S recent column (The Leader, Aug.

18) about blueberry propane cannons was spot on, yet not nearly emphatic enough about the harm caused by noise.

There is a vast amount of information confirming that unwanted noise is an acoustic contaminant with profound implications for human health. The World Health Organization and other medical and environmental groups have found that unwanted noise is not just a nuisance or annoyance, but a serious threat to physical and mental well-being.

Unwanted sound at any level can interfere with sleep (and still affect you even when it doesn’t actually wake you); raise blood pressure; increase heart rate; increase the risk of heart disease; impair concentration, productivity and learning; increase stress; affect mental health; and overall reduce your quality of life. At its extreme, unwanted noise can result in violence and murder.

Anti-noise pollution groups exist all over the world, including here in Vancouver. The mainstream media is full of articles and reports (including a 2001 CBC Marketplace documentary) observing the relentless increase in noise pollution in our society and the harm it causes. Several books have been published, most recently Why Noise Matters, which argues that noise is the most neglected green issue of our age.

Given the compelling evidence that unwanted noise is harmful to human health, the question is how and why Surrey council can remain so abysmally ignorant of this fact.

Fourteen years ago, the City of Vancouver Urban Noise Task Force produced a comprehensive report with recommendations for improving Vancouver’s soundscape. This led to a series of materials on noise awareness and noise control called SoundSmart, which promotes individual responsibility towards noise and the need to avoid disturbing one’s neighbours and community.

It is only a matter of time until noise pollution, and its profound impairment of human health and quality of life, captures the serious attention it deserves in the wider public consciousness and on the political agenda.

And if Surrey truly aspires to live up to its self-hype as a socially and environmentally progressive city, Surrey council needs to pull its collective heads out of the sand and recognize – as have other more enlightened cities worldwide – that acoustic responsibility is a concept whose time not only has come, but is long overdue.

PEOPLE DON’T LIKE the B.C. Liberals. Ditto New Democrats.

With so much unrest in the electorate, the time appears ripe for a third party to emerge.

And, there are already a number of groups working to set the stage for such a candidacy: B.C. Conservative Party, B.C. Marijuana Party, the Greens.

Of course, there’s one big problem for the supporters of a third party – they don’t have a leadership candidate.

Past successful third party runs historically have been largely candidate driven – from Teddy Roosevelt’s run as a Bull Moose candidate in 1912, and arguably, to more recently Jack Layton for the NDP winning 103 seats becoming the official opposition.

Without a person to rally around, it’s hard to imagine how a third party could effectively capitalize on voter disgust with B.C.’s twoparty system.

Third party advocates insist there is still plenty of time to find a candidate. But, the names mentioned do not have the oomph, except one: Bill Vander Zalm, who almost certainly won’t run. He is the only person who would be taken seriously by the majority of voters. He is the only person to give Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix nightmares.

The desire for another option in party politics is as high today as it has been. But without someone to articulate those feelings, a third party seems unlikely to make much impact in B.C. And that, is a shame.

William Perry Victoria

Kevin Falcon still doesn’t get it. He was right and we the public are wrong and now we are to be punished for our stupidity.

I definitely do not want this man on any B.C. government negotiating team dealing with the ultimate resolution of the defunct HST, he rants on about the billions that the citizens of B.C. will have to pay the federal government.

First, the federal governments hands (and in particular, Mr. Harper’s) are definitely not clean in the brazen attempt to undemocratically impose this huge HST tax grab on the citizens of B.C. Steven Harper was all too aware how totally wrong, as well as undemocratic, this whole failed tax grab was, and the $1.6 billion would have just been another transfer payment for a have-not province thanks

the beautiful state of Washington exploring some of their smaller towns and was amazed at how clean and charming these places turned out to be.

After returning to Surrey, I was equally struck by the lack of aesthetic appeal throughout the municipality.

One just has to travel down Scott Road to realize a total lack of pride and streetscape appeal when it comes to the various retailers.

What is interesting to me is that this is not so much an economic issue with Washington undergoing its own financial challenges as much as it is a cultural mindset.

Compassion should extend to unborn babies ONE SIGN OF a humane society

to the gross financial mismanagement of B.C.s economy under the “BC Fiberals,” never mind all the extra money that has already been collected and will continue to be collected over the next couple of years thanks to the HST. If the Liberals or the federal Conservatives have any thoughts about punishing the citizens of B.C. for the democratic rejection of the undemocratic HST outrage foisted on to the people of B.C., they had better rethink their strategy as the other foot has yet to come down.

If any of them want to survive this fiasco, they had better make it go away as quickly, quietly and painlessly as humanly possible.

The Fiberals are the bad guys here, not the voters of B.C. Wayne Clark, Maple Ridge

OH WHAT A tangled web we weave,

is how we react when introduced to something unexpected and unwanted.

The recent discovery in Surrey of a raccoon found stuck in a leg-hold trap and the subsequent public discussion shows us a number of things.

First of all, it is completely understandable that when one discovers an unexpected and unwanted critter under their deck or in their shed the initial reaction is to get rid of it – for it is unwanted. Secondly, the reaction by those who have compassion for animals gives us a clear example of how even though a certain species is not wanted, there are better ways to deal with the situation.

The call for a ban on leg-hold traps is one example of providing more protection for raccoons.

Although difficult to confirm the numbers, there is another species in Canada that currently lacks protection under the law.

The understandable reaction of some Canadians upon discovering an unexpected or unwanted child growing within is to get rid of it.

While there are multiple ways to accomplish this, many are barbaric and fatal for the unwanted individual. As a society we must provide humane alternatives.

It is laudable to advocate for protection of animals. How much more then to advocate for something far more precious than an urban raccoon?

If we are truly a humane and compassionate society then it’s time for Canadians ask for lawful protection of unborn babies, even though they may come unexpectedly or are not wanted.

Entering Canada by jet ski?

Border officials detain two men

by Tracy Holmes TWO MEN heading into Canada found them-

selves in hot water last week, after border guards questioning a northbound traveller discovered a plan for one to elude authorities altogether by entering the country on a jet ski.

According to Canada Border Services Agency, the deception was discovered Tuesday (Aug. 30) evening at the Pacific Highway border. Suspicions were raised when a U.S. resident referred for secondary examination provided inconsistent responses, CBSA’s Erin Steeksma said.

Further questioning determined the traveller

had dropped off a man – described as a foreign national – and a jet ski in Blaine before heading to the border, and that the pair planned to meet up at a White Rock restaurant.

A GPS with the restaurant’s co-ordinates was found inside the northbound vehicle, Steeksma said.

Officers dispatched to the GPS site identified and arrested a man matching the description; a jet ski painted flat black was found on the beach nearby and seized.

Both men were detained and later released.

A criminal investigation is ongoing and charges are pending, Steeksma said.

35.5 per cent in tax at paid lots.

But the end of the HST may mean only the five per cent GST will apply on top of TransLink’s 21 per cent come the spring of 2013.

“There’s no doubt in my mind,” said Charles Gauthier, executive director of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association.

“If we’re going back to the old system, I would imagine the PST doesn’t exist for pay parking.”

He said the government made it clear with the change to the HST that the province was handing its taxing authority over parking to TransLink, meaning there should be no scope for a reintroduction of a provincial tax.

If so, the province would lose the seven per cent provincial component of the HST it now receives – worth close to $20 million a year. That’s actually money the province never got to keep prior to the HST, because the PST was previously remitted to TransLink.

TransLink officials say they’ve asked the province what’s planned but received no answers yet.

A finance ministry spokesman said the issue isn’t decided, adding it’s one of numerous decisions the government faces in the months ahead as it prepares for the dismantling of the HST. TransLink collected $58.4 million last year from its 21 per cent parking tax.

Prior to 2010, parking taxes totaled 12 per cent, with seven per cent collected by the province going to TransLink and another five per cent in GST going to Ottawa.

TransLink spent money setting up its own tax collection system after the province stopped collecting the provincial tax.

Gauthier said some downtown workers doubt any cut in taxes would actually be passed on to them by parking lot operators.

He also noted the higher taxes on pay parking in recent years have spurred many people to take transit or find other alternatives to driving downtown.

Groups to have their say on gaming grants Issue to be aired at public forum in Surrey on Sept. 7

by Jeff Nagel COMMUNITY groups will get their say Wednesday on how the province should share its gambling profits with local charities.

B.C.’s Community Gaming Grant Review will be at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Newton campus in Surrey for a public forum running from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The review, appointed by the premier in July, is headed by former Kwantlen president Skip Triplett.

Many groups were outraged in 2009 when the province cut grants to community groups from $156 million to $120 mil-

lion a year to shore up B.C.’s environmental, animal welfare and adult arts and sports groups recession-ravaged budget. That was raised to $135 million this that lost funding. year.

More than two thirds of the $1 billion a year in revenue that Triplett told Black Press at a forum in Williams Lake comes to the province from gambling goes into many presenters to the review are calling for general revenue, with more gaming funds to be another $147 million funneled into community dedicated to health fundgrants and for more stable, ing, $82 million shared with cities that host casimulti-year funding as well Skip as a simplified system of nos or community gaming Triplett centres and the rest shared processing applications.

the night of violence downtown, while police in London have already charged more than 1,000 suspects from riots there in early August.

“We’re not pulling our punches, we’re going for the most serious charges we can get,” Chu said.

VPD officials said they have the names

The launch came as VPD Chief Jim Chu again sought to explain the delays in charging suspects in the June 15 riot, including the 42 who have turned themselves in to police.

Just two men have so far been charged from

of more than 1,100 potential riot suspects but need more time to analyze the 1,600 hours of video recorded at the riot.

Chu said he wants as many rioters as possible charged with participating in a riot – a more serious offence than theft or mischief that carries a penalty of up to two years in prison.

Prosecuting someone on a lesser charge now might let them escape justice on the more serious riot charge, he said, because “double jeopardy” prevents someone from being punished twice for the same thing.

“We don’t get two chances at this,” Chu said. “You get one kick at the can.”

He predicted a rush to prosecute will mean more acquittals and lighter sentences for the most serious offenders. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Review makes 53 recommendations

by Tom Fletcher FEWER than 500

police officers found themselves dealing with a crowd of 155,000 hockey fans and troublemakers much more quickly than they expected, a review of the Stanley Cup riot has found.

Police started out with 446 officers on the streets of downtown Vancouver on June 15, and had 928 on duty by the time the situation was brought under control, said a report issued Thursday by two reviewers appointed by the B.C. government.

Unlike the 1994 riot, police from different cities were able to communicate, but due to a lack of practice working together, there was still confusion, the report said.

Another difference from 1994 was the expansion of SkyTrain service, which rapidly delivered many more people to the downtown core.

The police “meet and greet” technique that was effective during similar downtown gatherings at the Olympics in February 2010 could not function because of the size and early arrival of the crowd, said Doug Keefe, the former Nova Scotia deputy minister who conducted the review along with former Vancouver Olympic CEO John Furlong.

Premier Christy Clark said she is as frustrated as anyone that more charges haven’t been laid, but police are trying to be as thorough

as possible.

“It was those drunken louts who caused this problem,” Clark said. “It wasn’t police, it wasn’t other citizens. It was them.”

Only two charges were laid as of this week against rioters. Vancouver Police launched a website Tuesday with pictures to help the public identify offenders caught by the many cameras that were used the night of the riot.

VPD Chief Jim Chu said he wants a full review of 1,600 hours of video and other evidence so people who committed major offences don’t get off

with lesser punishment.

NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan said the province needs to help fund the regional event security recommended by the report.

Corrigan said Chu is wrong that people can’t be charged with additional offences if new evidence comes forward.

Police asked City of Vancouver officials to make the outdoor gathering a ticketed event and check everyone for alcohol, but there wasn’t time to organize that, Keefe said.

And the 100,000 people who massed in

the streets outside the live site led to the congestion and confusion that allowed looting and vandalism to continue for several hours.

The report makes 53 recommendations to prevent or contain future incidents, including having the RCMP and Vancouver Police tactical squads train together.

Police and fire services across the region should have a clear framework for covering major regional events.

There is no indication that a new regional police service would help, the reviewers said.

The Human Touch and Skilled Human Hand have amazing capabilities of sensing what is going on in the body. Your physiotherapist brings this aspect to their evaluation and treatment approach with each and every individual patient. Their hands are their main assessment and treatment tools.

During your treatment session, our physiotherapists thoroughly assesses the lines of tension throughout your body, relating your injured part to the whole. With the subsequent treatment sessions, your injured part is integrated back into the whole, therefore, reducing your pain and the tension in your tissue, improving your active range of movement and functional level of activity.

Our bodies alignment is determined by the “web” of myofascial tissues that surrounds our muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, blood vessels, nerves and organs. These tissues may be too short, too long, in the wrong place or scarred.

“WE DO not grow too

old to dance,” said legendary Texas square dance caller Herb Greggereson in 1953. “We grow old because we do not dance.”

The sentiment remains today for enthusiasts at the Surrey Square Wheelers Square Dance Club.

Square dancing is a low-impact activity with a group of friends.

It combines physical and mental activity set to music and is accompanied with wide smiles and laughter.

The club is gearing up for a new season, which starts on the evening of Sept. 7 at the Port Kells Community Hall, 18918 88 Ave. For more information, call 604-809-1703.

The Square Wheelers are also working with the City of Surrey to promote an introductory square dance program in Cloverdale that starts in October. For more information, check page 20 of the Cloverdale Leisure Services Guide or visit www.surrey.ca and click and check Surrey Leisure Services.

The Province of British Columbia has proclaimed September 18-24 as Square Dance Awareness Week.

That old-time bling TAKE A TRIP to the glamorous world of old Hollywood with local fashion historian Ivan Sayers, as he presents All That Glitters at the Surrey Museum (17710 56 Ave.) on Sept. 14 from 7-8:30 p.m.

His entertaining slide show and talk will provide a glimpse into the lives and fashions of the wealthiest and most beautiful women in the world as seen on the silver screen.

Sayers is a former curator of history at the Vancouver Museum.

Admission is $10.

New South Surrey Home!

If there’s one thing Ron Friend knows better than anything, it’s floors. The owner of the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s newest flooring store, Just Flooring, has a history in the industry dating back to Ron’s first sale in 1967. With 44 years of experience under his belt in all aspects of flooring – including sales and installation – Ron has seen his share of changes take place in the industry through the decades.

“In the last 10 or so Ron Friend years, hardwoods have really come back which is nice,” Ron says. “There’s still a lot of carpet being sold, but the textures of the carpets have also changed, as they have to keep up with the popularity and performance of hard surface flooring.”

One thing that hasn’t changed in Ron’s years in the flooring business is the demand for outstanding customer service and satisfaction – something he proudly proclaims is the foun-

dation of Just Flooring and something the other two locations in Vancouver and Richmond have a proven track record in providing.

From the very first visit to Just Flooring’s extensive showroom at 2423 King George Blvd., to the finishing touches on the flooring’s professional installation, ensuring that customers are more than happy with the service they’re receiving is always a top priority.

Sales expert James Cunningham – with a vast history in the flooring business that includes both installation and sales – works closely with customers to provide extensive product knowledge to help find a flooring solution that fits their home perfectly.

With a showroom selection that is one of the best in the Lower Mainland, customers are hard-pressed not to find exactly what they’re looking for among the troves of stands and samples of hardwood, laminate, carpet, vinyl, tile and area rugs.

comes their new neighbours to drop by and check out the newest and most innovative floor covering fashions.

Because Ron enjoys great longstanding relationships with his suppliers, he’s able to offer his customers the best products at the best prices. “I know the presidents of the flooring wholesalers and mills from all over North America – I’ve known them for years,” he says, “and it is these relationships and several trips back to the mills every year that enables Just Flooring to make informed purchasing decisions.”

As the Just Flooring team gets settled in their new South Surrey home, they’re excited to begin building relationships with customers in a community described to them as “unique.” “We’ve been told by everyone that it’s a great area and that the customers are very friendly and easy to work with,” Ron says. Just Flooring is looking forward to extending their reputation for professional, courteous service into the Semiahmoo Peninsula, as they believe a truly satisfied customer is the “ultimate reward.”

“Anything you can put on a floor, we sell. But it’s exJames Cunningham tremely important to only support product lines that provide ultimate “At the end of the day, it’s not what performance while still incorporating current you put in your bank account, it’s whether design trends,” Ron says of their huge selecyou feel like you’ve accomplished something.” tion of flooring options.
