Point Roberts, WA, USA …Point Roberts, or Pt. Bob as many locals call it, was established in 1846. When the border negotiations were being conducted between the British and the Americans, the 49th parallel was determined to be the international boundary. While the border was curved around the southern tip of Vancouver Island, it wasn’t until actual surveying was initiated, that it was realized that the spit of land, now known as Pt Roberts. was actually on the US side of the line! And ever since it has maintained its rural and small town feel...and its incredibly low real estate values!

Canadians can therefore afford second homes and waterfront property very close to home thanks to the 49th parallel!

“

Point Roberts has a population of less than 1500 full time residents and its numbers swell to several thousand on weekends and during the summer months. This is due to the Canadian factor…as more than 70% of all real estate is owned by Canadians from all over the Lower Mainland! While its total size is less than 5 square miles Pt. Roberts still is home to a 900-slip full service marina, a championship and award winning golf course and many quaint shops and restaurants. One of the Points biggest draws is its quaintness…its rural nature…the gravel and grass driveways, abundant forests, and continuous pristine shoreline.

It is also home to four state parks including the most recent addition of the 275-acre Lily Point Marine Park. Pt. Roberts’ microclimate also offers one of the mildest weather patterns in the Pacific Northwest with more sunny days and only 40 inches of annual rainfall.

the cottages at Seabright Farm

the farm At the heart of The Cottages at Seabright Farm is the organic farm itself; including vegetables, berries, herbs, fruit, and cut flower gardens.

The barn, greenhouse, and gardens will be the hub of Seabright and owners will have access to all of the fresh produce.

Seabright Farm is a collection of quaint cottages situated on a 62-acre, south facing bluff, over looking the Strait of Georgia. The homesites are large: ranging from 1/4 acre to almost 1/2 an acre and offers lots of open space as well as privacy. The community is centered around an organic farm, with a barn, green house, and other amenities including a swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, walking trails, and 1400 ft. of pristine beachfront. Seabright Farm enjoys three distinct “neighborhoods” all of which have spectacular ocean viewws.

The Bluffs; with direct waterfront views and a mixture of open and sunny lots and some with mature stands of maple and cedar.

The Meadows; many with open and sunny vistas as well as some that are treed. These lots border on a conservation area that adds both a natural setting and privacy at your doorstep.

The Woodlands; The woodlands zone is the most private, sheltered and quiet of the farm’s three regions. With a mature forest as backdrop these lots are 40 ft above the Bluffs lots and offer privacy along with great views

The Vista:

Aptly named for its amazing abundance of windows and light, this plan has been designed with the Bluff and Meadows lots in mind. When combined with a “super bunkie”, the open plan provides three master bedrooms, a den, and a very spacious main living area. The super bunkie can function as a stand-alone cottage as well, with a living area and fireplace, galley kitchen and master retreat. There is over 1100 sq. ft .of covered porch areas and 4 fireplaces. This plan is designed for taking in the sweeping ocean views while still providing privacy through intimate courtyards and breezeways.

The Coastal:

The Coastal Plan is timeless and embraces both the proximity to the ocean and rural nature of Seabright Farm cottage plans. The main floor is a single spacious open area with windows everywhere. Both upstairs bedrooms share a large bath with a soaker tub enjoying panoramic views. The bunkie could function as master bedroom retreat, an office or a studio. The hip roof, high windows and square lines of the front porch embrace the classic forms of early farmhouses. The stone fireplace is the central point of this design both inside and out with a prominent chimney and outdoor gas or wood-burning fireplace in the breezeway. The rear of the breezeway can be enclosed to create even more intimate space. As with all of our cottage plans, a garden area enclosed with split rail fencing encourages the “green thumbs” in the family.

Meet George, Seabright Farm’s onsite gardening expert: George has practiced organic farming for over five decades, from the island of Maui to California and to BC’s Slocan Valley. In all his travels, George claims that Point Roberts, “is the best gardening location I have ever lived in. It is a marine environment, so we have temperate winters. My kale and my brassicas (cabbages, broccoli, brussell sprouts) can thrive right through the winter months.”

George plans to “garden by example.” Growing crops around the planned community barn will not only provide Seabright Farm with a local food source, it is also an opportunity for George to teach the neighbourhood about the importance of locally grown produce. “You can taste the difference between what comes from California and what comes from your own backyard. Taste a carrot or some peas grown here and it is like tasting candy.”

Ultimately, Seabright cottage owners will not only know where their food is grown, but how.

Bruce Ridout remembered as gentle, generous man

Homicide victim praised for actions Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Police have released the names of the victim and accused in Sunday’s homicide in White Rock.

White Rock resident Bruce Alexander Ridout, 61, was identified Tuesday as the man discovered dead at his home in the 900-block of Ash Street Sunday evening, following numerous 911 calls about a heated altercation in the White

Rock neighbourhood.

Jeffrey Caille, 22 – who was remanded and appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday and Wednesday – is charged with one count of second-degree murder, one count of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of assault.

Ridout, a longtime Peninsula resident who was in Semiahmoo Secondary’s class of ’70, is being remembered by family and friends, some of whom have

posted tributes to him on social media calling his actions that day heroic.

Police have not released any details regarding cause of death, but witnesses say Ridout was stabbed while coming to the defence of a woman.

Former Peace Arch News reporter Jim Mullin noted that Ridout was a gentle man who was his neighbour for 35 years. “(He was) highly intelligent, but pain-

fully introverted,” Mullin told PAN. “(He) came out of his shell over the last 10 years and started to travel the world and really enjoy life.

“When we moved, he would go visit my grandmother at the nursing home once a week. That was the kind of guy he was.”

Another acquaintance remembers Ridout as a generous man who would often open his home to people in need. i see page 4

Ryan William Beauchamp is taken into custody by Surrey RCMP officers who arrived at the scene of a shooting in Newton Tuesday afternoon.

A father is dead and his son in custody after a shooting in a residential neighbourhood in Newton Tuesday afternoon.

Police were called to a report of shots fired in the 14000-block of 60 Avenue at about 1:30 p.m.

When they arrived they found 55-year-old Edward Allen Bezell dead at the scene. His son, Ryan William Beauchamp, 29, was arrested. He has been charged with second-degree murder.

Beauchamp is in custody and is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Sept. 3.

The fatality is Surrey’s 10th confirmed homicide of the year.

An 11th homicide investigation is classified as suspicious.

Crime rate rises despite Surrey’s highest officer-to-resident ratio

Effective policing ‘not down to boots on street’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey now has the strongest police force it’s had in 30 years, but the larger detachment is failing to translate into lower crime rates, statistics show.

An expert in criminology says that’s not surprising, and adds hiring more cops doesn’t necessarily mean a lower crime rate

– better and smarter policing does.

Black Press has compiled Surrey’s police officer-per-population ratios over the last 30 years, based on city figures.

The force had a ratio of lower than one police officer per 784 residents from 1986 to 2004, then the city made headlines in 2001 when it had only one cop per 911 people.

Mayor Dianne Watts, who was a tough-on-

crime city councillor at the time, was challenging then-mayor Doug McCallum for the mayor’s chair, which resulted in McCallum hiring 116 more RCMP officers over two years. It brought the number of Mounties up to one per 750 residents.

Watts took the mayor’s chair in 2005 and has continued hiring police, bringing the ratio to one cop per 725 residents this year.

However, crime statistics indicate the mass hiring isn’t helping Surrey become a regional leader in fighting crime.

The B.C. Policing Jurisdiction Crime Trends 2003-2012 report was released in November last year, and it paints a fairly bleak picture of crime in Surrey when compared to other large municipalities. i see page 8

Damage to spawning streams, in both urban and rural areas, combined with ocean temperature changes and other unknown factors have significantly hurt the salmon runs in the past 20 years.

A small commercial opening took place for sockeye on Monday, and there will be other openings, but the fish are still under enormous pressure.

That’s why news of a mine tailings pond collapse into the Quesnel River system on Aug. 4 hit like such a body blow. A large number of sockeye are headed that way.

Whether they will be impacted isn’t yet clear, but even the potential for a major kill of spawning fish makes many people very angry.

People in Surrey and Delta need to think about the importance of the salmon runs to our province.

Salmon aren’t just good for eating, they are an important economic and cultural symbol of this province.

As long as the salmon keep coming back to the Fraser and other major rivers like the Skeena, B.C. will be an environmentally healthy place.

If they stop coming back, or the runs dwindle to almost nothing, we are in big trouble.

Not a hit-and-run because incident was young cyclist’s fault, father told

Voicemail confirms vehicle was moving Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Contibuted photo

Scrapes, bruises.

A South Surrey father continues to push for answers after his son was injured while riding his bike in White Rock.

Kevin Larkin told Peace Arch News last week that his nine-year-old son was clipped by a white SUV while riding his bike on July 22 near Goggs Avenue and Best Street, however White Rock RCMP have insisted that there was no hit-and-run and have proceeded to close the file.

In a recorded phone message Larkin received Friday, a caller who identified himself as a White Rock RCMP sergeant said the file has been closed because Larkin’s son admitted to offi-

cers that it was his own fault he was hit.

“Just wish to advise you that despite your concern, the information provided by your son was very clear with respect that he entered the roadway and that it was his fault and that he glanced off the rear end of a moving vehicle before he fell off his bike,” said the voicemail.

“It is not a hit-and-run as you suggest in that manner and it’s not being investigated as such, and our file is concluded, sir. Have a good day.”

In an interview on Aug. 5, RCMP Const. Shaileshni Molison told PAN the incident was thoroughly investigated and was “most definitely not a hit-and-run,” but was a case of a child falling into a parked car.

Repeated calls to White Rock RCMP this week were not returned by PAN press time Wednesday afternoon.

Larkin has also reached out to Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg and South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. He said he was told by Hogg to try and speak with the White Rock RCMP staff sergeant in person and find a resolution.

However, Larkin said he has been unable to connect.

“It seems like they hope that I’ll just give up and it will go away,” he said.

Larkin added that he wanted answers as to why the driver would not be reprimanded, after leaving the scene of a collision that caused his son’s front tire and handle bars to turn around and left

the boy with visible scrapes and bruises.

“A bike hits your car, you know it,” he said. “If you’re in a motor-vehicle accident, regardless of whose at fault, as far as I can tell, both parties are required to stop. If one leaves the scene, that satisfies the definition of a hit-and-run.”

Since the initial PAN article was published on Aug. 7, Larkin noted he has received a tremendous amount of support from friends and even strangers.

“I had one woman come up to me and say ‘don’t give up,’” Larkin said.

“Like I said before, I’m not going to let this one go. I’ll call every day.

“The RCMP have no answers for us because they closed the report before they even looked for the driver of the SUV.”

Foto Source’s last days

50-year-old business to be shuttered Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A landmark Central Plaza photo store will be closing its doors next month.

Reid’s Foto Source – which, in one incarnation or another, has been a feature of the local scene for almost 50 years – will be winding down with a sale of inventory, according to an announcement by owner Edward G. Reid.

Reid said staff will continue to serve the store’s many loyal customers right up to the 5:30 p.m. closing on the last day of business, Sept. 13.

Up to then, inventory will be cleared at “substantial discounts,” while supplies last, he said. Store fixtures are also available for sale.

Reid thanked customers for their patronage, a “wonderful staff ” for their caring service – and also noted contributions made by the store to the community, particularly under the guidance of former manager Terry Ross, who retired earlier this year, and his wife, Caroll, also a long-time employee.

The store, which over the years sold photo equipment, did photo finishing, took passport pictures, provided photographic advice and conducted workshops and training sessions, began in the photo business quite humbly.

Ross recalled at the time of his retirement that when he first joined the company in 1967 it was a small camera counter – called the Camera Corral – in the original Reid’s Western Drugs store.

Over the years, photographic sales and service became a key component in the drug store operation – and ultimately a separate business in 1982. The store came under the banner of Foto Source – a marketing group with some 200 affiliate stores across Canada – more than a decade ago.

Homicide home targeted for break-ins Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The South Surrey home of a former Sikh temple leader who has been charged with his wife’s murder has been the target of break-ins since his arrest.

Family members have reported at least two break-ins at the home, located in the 19400block of 32 Avenue.

Baldev Singh Kalsi – who was president of Surrey’s Gurdwara Sahib Brookside temple until days after the attack of Narinder Kaur Kalsi – has been charged with second-degree murder.

Officers were on the scene in the 900-block of Ash Street in White Rock this week after Sunday’s attack.

Passersby tried to get assistance i from page 1 Two unidentified women were injured during the incident, with witnesses seeing a man attacking a woman on the street outside the residence and, later, knives and other objects being thrown off the balcony.

According to neighbours, the man was smashing the young woman’s head on the pavement before a young woman with her dog yelled at the man and attempted to intervene. The

passerby was threatened and allegedly had a knife thrown at her before calling 911.

The attacker went inside the house where Ridout resided and was throwing knives and other objects off the balcony, a police news release states.

When another neighbour went inside to try and subdue the suspect, he discovered Ridout’s body and ran out of the house asking for assistance from someone who knew CPR, neighbours told PAN.

The young woman who tried to stop the initial altercation ran in and tried to assist Ridout, but was unable to.

An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday, but results and cause of death have yet to be made public.

Anyone with information who has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact IHIT at 1877551-4448 or, to remain anonymous, to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A Likely outcome

T

he recent Mount Polley Mining tailing pond breach in Likely, B.C. should serve as a warning to all of us – none more so than those in charge of granting mining licences.

While media and political parties point the finger of blame this way and that, the bigger question is; who will pay for the cleanup?

Very likely, the majority of the bill will be footed by taxpayers, many of whom – like residents of the Semiahmoo Peninsula – don’t have mining operations on their doorsteps.

Sure, Imperial Metals, which owns Mount Polley Mining Corp., is apt to be slapped with a hefty fine – some reports are suggesting amounts up to $1 million – but that would barely begin to cover the costs of reclaiming the waters, should they be deemed critically contaminated.

There was a comparable tailings pond breach in the state of Tennessee in 2008 (Kingston Fossil Plant).

More than six years later, restoration efforts continue. Some estimates have the total costs of that cleanup to be in excess of $1.2 billion U.S. Could it happen again?

The answer, of course, is yes. It could happen anywhere there are tailing ponds; and tailing ponds are a byproduct of most mining operations.

Requests for exploratory site testing by mine companies are an ongoing issue for many local governments throughout B.C., and in the aftermath of Mount Polley, it’s likely many will now be calling for much closer scrutiny of initial requests, plus more oversight of the process of granting of licenses and subsequent operations.

Consider it a proactive approach – one that will benefit all of us with a stake in B.C.’s environment and economic health.

Some economists will undoubtedly cry foul over more hurdles being placed in the way of the mining industry, and will cite the number of potential jobs being jeopardized by more stringent standards.

But it’s a far cry more economically sound than the reactive approach being incorporated in regards to the disaster in Likely, B.C. Sometimes foresight is 20:20.

we finally made it to the crossing booth, among other things I mentioned the long wait at Sumas. The CBSA officer smiled and said “Nexus.”

All well and good to have the ability to use the fast-access lane, but if you can’t get to it due to traffic volume, it’s not very helpful.

What will soon be helpful is the major expansion of the Canadian border crossing in Aldergrove.

Similar action should occur at Sumas, but that can only happen if the crossing is moved a mile or two east to avoid the constricting confines of the little village’s narrow streets.

The waste of time, the great volume of fuel consumed by idling vehicles, the pollution created and the frustration caused by border lineup cheaters, combined with what is expected to be a large population increase on this side of the border in coming years demands that the crossing be vastly upgraded, and not just with an expanded Nexus lane.

While I’m no longer a fan of crossborder shopping, obviously from the traffic jam on a Friday mid-afternoon, there is a vast number of Canadians who are shopping or travelling down south.

For example, this Monday at 11:30 a.m. the reader sign on the freeway just before the Sumas Way exit noted crossing times of 50 minutes at Sumas, 40 at Aldergrove, 60 at Pacific Highway and 70 at Blaine!

Doesn’t matter to me, however, because I won’t be crossing again for a long time, and only then either very early, or very late on a mid-week day.

Sympathy for the engineers Editor: My heartfelt gratitude to the engineers of the BNSF train going westbound through the East Beach last Friday afternoon (Train stops for ‘resting’ teenagers, Aug. 12).

What terror you must have felt as you approached the area, slowly and with warning blasts, only to see a young man lying on the tracks, not responding to the prolonged whistle blasts. I was impressed by your rapid braking action but I am sure that you question the ability of stopping so fast in order to avoid a critical incident. I have since heard that the crashing sound of the train stopping further behind was terrifying, some thinking that a derailment was in our midst.

I have often wondered what would prompt the prolonged whistle blowing I hear, whether day or night, but now I know.

The RCMP attended, as did other emergency services, and the young man was apprehended. I imagine that a psychiatric assessment will reveal his intention.

Regardless, thank you, BNSF engineers and I hope you can rest easily after such an incident.

Do the trains passing through White Rock video record any action on the tracks? Perhaps if BNSF released such recordings, the public would have a greater understanding of what is actually happening on the tracks as the trains approach.

I definitely do not want to see restricted beach access, but I fear the people I regularly see walking on the tracks will ruin it for those of us who ‘Look, Listen and Live.’

M. Desmarais, White Rock Q Rail misery! The back and forth about our beloved railway is getting better and better.

If there are people stupid enough to walk on the rails with kids on shoulders, dogs and the rest of the family, or with music at full strength blasting and not looking left or right when crossing, let them be hit.

Would they walk on a highway doing the same? I don’t think so.

There is a law against walking on the rails. Where are the so-called law-enforcement people? They are there to write parking tickets in a second, but allow dogs, bikes, etc. where they are not to be. So they are also at fault for these mishaps!

I only feel sorry for the engineer driving the train, because he will have to live with it for life.

H. Schmidt, Surrey

Persistence, perseverance Editor: Re: ‘I can’t seem to get a straight answer from the city,’ Aug. 5 .

Victoria Avenue resident David Bradshaw’s frustration over the Marine Drive project highlights lack of accountability at all levels of White Rock City.

It raises a number of questions:

Does the council just rubber stamp anything that is presented by the city ‘experts’? Is the city manager informed of all the questions and concerns raised by the residents?

Do the planning and engineering departments talk to each other?

Who is responsible for ensuring that the residents receive prompt responses to their concerns?

Is the council not elected to ensure that the city represents its residents?

I wrote a number of emails regarding this project to the city, including the mayor, and was disappointed that all my questions were not answered.

In fact, some emails did not receive a timely response until I expressed my frustration.

The residents of White Rock should be as persistent as Bradshaw to ensure that the city is held accountable.

It is disappointing to observe such poor performance when we read that the council gave itself a raise.

We need better results from the city officials who earn huge salaries.

Users of the White Rock promenade along the waterfront should leave their dogs behind, say letter writers.

Promenade not the place for pets Editor: Re: Fair solution within reach, Aug. 5 letters.

Letter-writer Michael Klaven makes an impassioned plea to allow dogs on the promenade and beach area.

I get it that dog owners would love the opportunity to use these areas, but it just won’t work.

The promenade is used daily by young mothers with their children, joggers, seniors, tourists and others. Dogs and joggers, dogs and young kids running free, dogs and seniors with walkers… how well does all that mix?

I may be wrong, but I’m sure if the letter-writer used the promenade and beach regularly he might have a different opinion, even as a dog owner.

To allow dogs on the beach where they would be offleash, running among hundreds of toddlers and young children? I don’t know when the current bylaw was adopted, but there was obviously a good reason for it, and to suggest this was the work of a couple hundred people is disingenuous or, maybe more accurate, just guesswork.

I might add the beach west of the pier is primarily used by paddle boarders and kayakers, not swimmers.

I agree it seems punitive that responsible dog owners get tarred with the same brush as those who disregard the rules, but it would be bad policy to risk serious injury to a child because some negligent owner can’t control his dog.

Barry Collins, White Rock Q Support for and against the presence of leashed/ unleashed dogs on White Rock beaches, has been evidenced by letters to the Peace Arch News of late.

Noted on the City of White Rock website, under the heading ‘parks,’ it says, “Dogs are not allowed on the promenade or City of White Rock beaches.”

It appears the bylaws are not enforced.

Recently, while walking on East Beach, I counted nine dogs running freely. This was not an unusual day.

On another occasion my family and I – with two small children – were attempting to quietly enjoy a picnic on the grass above East Beach, when a small dog ran onto our mat and sat himself down in the tray that contained our almost-finished fish-and-chip dinner.

The owners smiled and shouted sorry from a distance.

When I go to the beach it is with a view to relax.

Having an unknown dog come bounding up to where I am sitting – especially if I never saw it coming – spraying sand all over me, isn’t fun. It’s intrusive. Sorry.

And when the grandchildren are with me, I am even less relaxed if dogs are roaming freely. How am I to know if your dog is child-friendly or not?

People are people and dogs are dogs. Our beaches are a lot busier than they used to be, so allowances have to be made for that fact. Let people have their own space – most of it – and let the dogs have theirs.

Susan Kinnie, Surrey Q I am an animal lover – always have been, raised with dogs, family has dogs, I had cats – just love them all.

And I understand they are family, and not mere ‘pets.’

Having said that, I walk the promenade daily and must totally disagree with the notion that dogs should be allowed there. One can’t help but notice that there are families, tourists, people of all age groups, from babes in arms/strollers, to the frail and elderly.

Dogs would not enhance the White Rock experience whatsoever. In fact, their presence would only add to the congestion and possible unsanitary conditions.

Most have dogs on those retractable leashes, so dogs would be all over the place, criss-crossing the walkway, causing a hazard. Dogs poop and pee, and yes, most would pick up, but the remnants remain – not conducive to a nice day of picnicking or enjoying the scenery.

Dogs like to stop and sniff each other and every spot they can find. This would cause congestion, perhaps even cause unaware tourists taking in the sights to stumble, or the elderly to trip and fall – not good at all.

Children are drawn to animals and would love to stop and pet the dogs. More tieups. Dogs bark at each other, people, birds, whatever… More potential for problems.

Bottom line – the promenade should be for people only.

There are many nice streets to walk your dogs along and other areas where dogs are allowed. Let’s keep everyone safe, including our family dogs, and keep the promenade for people only.

Local Glee Club hits a high note When you’re happy, you just want to sing. Nearly 25 members of the wildly popular Glee Club at Sunridge Gardens wholeheartedly agree. At this Bria community, they’re hitting all the high notes.

A singing group, where the average age is over 80? You bet.

At Sunridge Gardens, a seniors’ residence in Langley, living vibrantly is a part of everyday life. And although all four Bria Communities (two in Langley and two in Tsawwassen) exude a philosophy of ‘living large’, it’s the residents who keep the activities and groups thriving. The Glee Club is no exception.

Walk into Sunridge on any given Wednesday morning, and you’ll hear the happy refrains of oldies like The Tennessee Waltz or Take Me Out to the Ballgame, being belted out with great enthusiasm.

Hardly surprising though, for a Bria community. Known for their out-of-the-box approach to active living, activities are always resident-focused and ever-evolving. In fact, all four communities work hard to bring unconventional, fresh ideas to

every aspect of living.

For example, Sunridge was awarded LEED Gold certification (a standard for green building), while all interiors exude contemporary details like upscale furnishings and clean, inviting surroundings where residents feel completely at home.

When Recreational Assistant Douglas Stewart, an accomplished actor and singer, brought forth his vision of a singing group, even he couldn’t predict the incredible popularity of the Glee Club. Now up to nearly 25 voices strong, the members profess it to be the highlight of their week. “It’s so popular. They can’t wait for Wednesday mornings!”

Manager, Shannon Saunders says happily about the program.

It’s no secret that singing is liberating, improves mental acuity, and when done in groups: highly sociable and just plain fun. Naturally, singing

Douglas Stewart leads the incredibly popular Sunridge Gardens Glee Club with the 25 residents who put together their own singing group.

isn’t everyone’s tune, but Bria residents have opportunities to participate in countless other activities like walking groups, gardening, Bocci tournaments, bridge, poker, ice cream socials and shopping excursions.

Shannon is quick to point out, “it’s the people that make the difference. They are the reason why we do what we do” She explains that the residents truly feel their community is home, so they con-

nect with a family-like energy.

There is a constant buzz and banter. There is vigour. There is a curiosity and willingness to participate, while most importantly: there is happiness. “And when our residents are happy, they are inclined to sing.”

If you’re curious what life is like at a Bria community, contact Jane Bryce, Area Marketing Manager for Langley at 604-510-5091.

RETIREMENT. LIVING!

You’ll like living here!

Sunridge Gardens is a new community for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun with their friends and families every day.

Bright light White Rock beach’s landmark – the rock the city is named for – glimmers under the light of the super moon on Aug. 10. The super moon occurs between four and six times per year, when the moon moves about 30,000 miles closer to earth than usual.

Locally, you can begin to grasp this problem by visiting Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest.

The Semiahmoo Peninsula was logged at the end of the 19th century and into the 20th; some clearing was carried out and brush was burned off until the mid-’20s; after that it was largely left alone.

On this site, natural recovery begins with herbaceous plants and shrubs which are soon supplanted by relatively short-lived, deciduous tree species – alder, birch and poplar. As they age and decline, their place is taken by coniferous Douglas-fir, hemlock and western red cedar on the drier portion and, more slowly, by western red cedar where the ground is wetter.

The conifers in Sunnyside are now about 80 years old , an age that ties in well with the known history. Residual cedar stumps are still to be seen, thanks to aromatic oils in the wood which serve as a preservative, but the Douglas-fir and hemlock stumps have long since rotted away.

This forest, dedicated in 1988, is a readily accessible example of natural recovery and progression, and it’s right here on the doorstep, waiting for you.

White Rock centenarian receives celebratory greeting from Queen

Royal honour for birthday A White Rock centenarian received a royal honour on her milestone birthday.

Mildred Bogdane was presented with Queen Elizabeth’s Celebratory Greetings at a celebration marking her 100th birthday Aug. 5.

Bogdane has long been a force in her community, serving as a representative of the Kent Street Seniors Centre and receiving a medal at the BC Senior Games for ping pong.

At the age of 70, Bogdane windsurfed in Semiahmoo Bay,

and for years could be found catching and cooking smelt, clams and crabs on the beach.

The avid traveller also enjoyed a number of global cruises.

Dozens of friends and family gathered to celebrate Bogdane’s many achievements and stories – including her fondness for dancing at the Elks Club and the Legion, her visits to the St. John’s Lunch Hut and winning the White Rock 40th anniversary Parasol Parade with a crocheted parasol.

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.�

I am writing this article while on board BC Ferries heading to Haida Gwaii. There is a humpback whale traveling beside us. We travel by bus from the lower mainland to here and have enjoyed the fantastic scenery throughout the Cariboo region and the North. Having just returned from our Russian River Cruise, a new appreciation off the province’s beauty is enjoyed to a new level. We love offering tours in the province as the insurance is less and there is so much diversity.

This fall we are going to Kamloops for a two night stay at the newly renovated Plaza Heritage Hotel. We will visit the Robert Haig-Brown Provincial Park to enjoy the Adams River Salmon

Society’s activities and displays. This is the dominant year for the Salmon Run and commercial fisherman are already enjoying a prosperous year. On the return we stop at the Hell’s Gate fish ladders for lunch and some sweeping views of the Fraser River. With the fall leaves turning color, the scenery will be breathtaking.

SUMMER SALE UP TO

Contributed photo

Professional dancer Cody Green, with Dance Effect senior intermediate class dancers.

‘There was no resting on laurels’ i from page 23 nal cast of their gritty, muddy, violently bloody reimagining of Macbeth, starring Branagh as the title character and Alex Kingston, which was created for last year’s Manchester International Festival.

Staged in the intimate confines of a de-consecrated church, it quickly became the sold-out hit of the festival.

That virtually guaranteed the restaging in New York, where the massive venue enabled an even more epic treatment, and

most of the original actors – including Green – were kept on.

Green’s relatively small role as MacDuff ’s messenger was expanded in Branagh and Ashford’s interpretation by making him Macbeth’s general factotum as well – which Green said created an intriguing character arc for him to work with.

And Green’s dedication – and his hard work with a dialect coach – can be heard as he quotes lines in the Scots brogue used in the original Manchester production and slips effortlessly

into the standard British ‘RP’ dialect chosen for the New York restating.

“There was no resting on laurels,” he said.

“Sir Kenneth is always about making every performance strong, getting more specific. I am so lucky to get to be part of that.

“Even having had a great show the night before, the aim was ‘let’s do it better.’ That philosophy was behind everything – and it’s the same philosophy that’s behind Nathalie’s studio.”

Women’s World Fastpitch Championships committee heads to Netherlands

Softball organizers ramp up efforts Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Greg Timm committee chair

Though Surrey was named the official host city for the 2016 Womens’ World Fastpitch Championships back in the fall of last year, it’s now about to get real for organizers.

A small contingent from the city’s organizing committee – including chairman Greg Timm – left this week for Haarlem, Netherlands, the host site for this year’s 2014 world championships.

The group will be on hand for the entirety of the tournament – which runs Aug. 15-24 – and will spend time learning the ins and outs of the event from the 2014 organizers.

As well, the Surrey group – which has previously stated its goal was to make the 2016 tourney the

White Rock driver buckles in for historic motor races

Vintage cars hit the track Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hite Rock racecar driver Ivan Lessner will be among those behind the wheel in Mission this weekend, when the Vintage Racing Car Club of B.C. holds its annual BC Historic Motor Races event.

Lessner, 63, will take part in the two-day race series while behind the wheel of his 1958 Austin-Healey two-seater – of which just a few thousand were ever made. Fewer still were painted Pacific Green, as Lessner’s is.

“It’s a very rare car,” said the White Rock resident, who has raced locally since the mid 1980s, along with a few forays into Washington and Oregon races.

Though the car is not a daily driver anymore, it is street legal – the car’s only accident came on the road, rather than the track, Lessner points out – and while it is one of the older cars on the VRCBC circuit, it’s still served him well.

Lessner is a four-time series champion, and this year is “still doing OK” against cars that, while still classified as vintage, are newer and often faster.

“It’s not always about speed,” he said. “The (Healey) might not be as fast as some cars

Ivan Lessner, behind the wheel of his 1958 Austin-Healey race car, will be on the track for two days of racing in Mission this weekend. now, but there’s more to it… how you take a corner, things like that.”

Lessner was born in Hungary – he emigrated to Canada in 1981 – and admits that racing is in his blood. His great-uncle was a racecar driver of some repute in Austria during the 1920s and ’30s, and another distant relative – more of a family friend, he explains – also raced in Hungary in the 1950s.

In fact, one of Lessner’s earliest racing memories is from when, as a three-year-old, he was plunked into the driver’s seat of the parked race car of said family friend.

“My family was full of car buffs. We were always going to races,” he said.

When he first came to Canada, Lessner lived in Calgary, where there was not much of a racing scene. It wasn’t until he moved to B.C. that he connected with other drivers.

Now he’s become a fixture on the vintagecar racing circuit, only missing a handful of races in nearly 30 years. And while some drivers come and go each year, Lessner said there is a real spirit of camaraderie among them, which is part of the appeal of racing.

“It’s competitive but it’s still about driving and having fun,” he said. “You can’t drive (aggressively) out there – if anyone behaves badly, they’re sent home. And you help each other out where you can.”

Lessner has no plans to slow down his

The White Rock Junior Tritonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; baseball season is over, after a 2-1 record during the BC Junior Premier Baseball Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship tournament last weekend.

On Friday, the U16 Tritons fell 14-4 to the North Delta Junior Blue Jays â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the eventual champions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the Peninsula team bounced back Saturday morning to shut out the Nanaimo Junior Pirates by a 5-0 score, with Saylor Gray earning the win on the mound for White Rock.

Gray went the full seven innings in the win, striking out six while giving up just three singles.

The offence was led by left-fielder

Ty Morice, who had two hits, while second-baseman Rhys McMartin had a double.

The Tritons werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to make it back-to-back victories later in the day, however, as they dropped a 7-2 decision to the North Shore Junior Twins.

On Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the final day of competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the top four teams from the round-robin portion of the tournament advanced to the semifinals.

The Twins edged Victoria to win one semifinal, while the Jays edged the Chiefs 3-2 in the other.

Victoria Black Eagles’ Matteas Hamblin (right) beats John Vulcano of the Cloverdale Spurs to second base during a BC Provincial Peewee AAA baseball championship game in Cloverdale Aug. 2.

Cloverdale peewee baseball team competing in Manitoba

Spurs head to Westerns The Cloverdale Spurs have headed to the Prairies.

The U13 baseball team is in Altona, Man. this week, taking part in the Western Canada Baseball Championships, which begins Friday and wraps up Aug. 18.

The peewee AAA ball team punched their ticket to the Manitoba tournament after a second-place finish earlier this month at peewee AAA provincial championships in Cloverdale.

At provincials, the Spurs lost the championship game 12-8 to Abbotsford on Aug. 3. Cloverdale had an early lead in the contest, but Abby bounced back

to take the lead midway through the game.

Ten teams took part in the event, including clubs from Aldergrove, White Rock, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Victoria and Vancouver.

The Spurs’ run to the final was an impressive one, considering they finished the roundrobin with just a 2-2 win-loss record, and had to beat a tough Burnaby team – edging them by a 3-1 score – in semifinals to advance to the final game.

The Spurs – coached by Jeff Young – are primarily a team of 13-year-olds, with three firstyear players who are just 12.

Day Five After a great night in Seattle, we woke up to rain, lots of rain, so we went underground to visit the old, hidden city of Seattle. These tours take visitors on a walk through the ruins of Seattle after the massive fire of 1886 and the rebuilding that took place. Seattle is built on top of the old city; there are tunnels and abandoned sections of buildings there to explore.

Safety Tip: There are many ways to show courtesy behind the wheel, including allowing space for other drivers to change lanes or manouevre. Driver courtesy is contagious, so wave at the next driver who lets you merge in front of them – they may just pay it forward to another driver.

Revved up for X-citement with a capital X The thermostat is flying north of 30 degrees Celsius, but luckily, there’s a bit of a breeze.

Thousands of individuals have gathered at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) track despite the heat.

COTA is a 1,500-acre-plus sports and entertainment venue located just 20 minutes from downtown Austin.

It’s where the Summer X Games are calling their new home until 2017. The extreme sports (hence the X) competition previously took place in Los Angeles and hosts events like Moto X Freestyle, skateboarding, BMX and more.

‘‘

Since they literally fly through the air, upwards of 50 feet (give or take), their bodies and motorcycles act as a sail and they can easily be pushed outside of their landing zone.

’’

Alexandra Straub

I’m here mainly for the motorcycles this day but I’m up for it all!

To beat that heat, what used to be a decorative fountain or centerpiece for the venue is now a cool-down hotspot. People are splashing around in this sizeable, converted “swimming pool” while security guards idly stand by and make sure no one gets too crazy.

Aside from long lineups for cold beverages and minimal spots out of the sun, the “pool” is an ideal place to ward off heatstroke.

However, you won’t catch me inside! I’m almost 100 percent sure it’s not chlorinated, or cleaned.

Nor do I have a change of clothes.

In between events, the people-watching is at a premium. I could sit at any given spot and be thoroughly entertained at the cross section of society that walked through the gates.

The crowd, unlike many other sporting events, is younger. It’s comprised mainly of Gen Xers and

Ys. But there’s room for everyone.

As dictated by this year’s fashionable trends, girls wear shorts that barely cover their bottoms, and the guys don’t seem to oppose it. Those of legal drinking age cherish their ice-cold beer and drink it like it’s their last. Though they have one more in their other hand. They’re not about to wait another half hour for more.

Sitting in the bleachers, that aforementioned breeze is both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing because it feels so good against the skin.

But a curse because if the wind is blowing faster than 25 mph (or around that speed), the athletes can’t compete in the Moto X Freestyle; an event I’ve been dying to see. I patiently wait for updates on the grandstand screens.

After all, I’ve been watching these games on TV for as long as I can remember.

The tricks that the athletes do, regardless of medium, are nothing short of spectacular.

The Big Air contest for the BMXers call upon riders to drop into a massive roll, then jump from a kicker to catapult themselves into a quarter-pipe. While doing that, they execute tricks, and try to wow the crowds.

And. of course. go home with a gold medal.

I’m all about doing crazy things on wheels but this is more than crazy. It’s just magical. I wish I had the guts to do this kind of thing. I think my mom is glad I don’t.

Eagerly anticipating the show, the wind refuses to settle. But the riders come out and do a few tricks to test out if they’re able to compete. Yay! Since they literally fly through the air, upwards of 50 feet (give or take), their bodies and motorcycles act as a sail and they can easily be pushed outside of their landing zone.

It’s dangerous and a huge safety risk. The event is postponed. No. Yes, then cancelled.

The athletes who travel from all across the world are probably even more disappointed that they can’t ride, says the commentator.

It’s probably true. They want to show off their skills.

We want to cheer for their efforts. Add me to that list of the officially bummed out. Well, what can you do? The crowd’s energy is contagious, nonetheless.

There’s no doubt that it’s a fun event to attend, even if the event you’re so excited to see doesn’t happen, and you’ll be on a plane the next morning before it all starts up again.

But like a lot of major sporting events, sometimes, the best place to see all the action is in the comfort of your own home.

Where you don’t have to wait half an hour for a cold one. And a breeze is always welcome. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Some of Western Canada’s unique never-before-seen cars, collectively worth millions, will be on display at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver’s Ultimate Car Show.

But it’s my bet that the Red Bull tour bus will capture the attention of many attending the free auto extravaganza, set to get underway in the outdoor parking lot at 2080 United Blvd, Coquitlam, this Saturday at 1 p.m.

The bus, built by Abbotsford’s 360 Fabrications, will take its place among more than 350 uniquely designed exotic, muscle and collector cars at this inaugural event, staged by the casino in partnership with 360.

The bus, which doubles as an outdoor stage, was actually built from three buses – the front metre and a half was a 1960 transit bus, whereas the remaining 12 metres is a 1974 Silver Eagle built on a 2012 freightliner frame.

Inside is a party room with coolers and video screens, which doubles as a green room when the world famous beverage company puts it into action at a concert or festival. It is also a fully functional transformer with 120,000watt sound system and 80,000-watt generator.

Keeping it company will be some impressive automobiles, including a 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish, one of only two in Canada; a 1965 Malibu SS, appraised at over $500,000; and a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro appraised at more than $700,000.

The 2015 McLaren 650S is one of the most highly anticipated vehicles to come into the market and one will be featured at the event. Car and Driver magazine dubbed it as McLaren’s bid to compete with Ferrari.

Canadian children, like the boy pictured here, begin learning about how cars work from an early age by driving toy car replicas around their backyards.

For value, Focus on a late model Ford The Ford Focus is an affordable and underrated used compact car buy It got a major makeover for the 2008 model year: an all-new coupe (two-door) edition was introduced to complement the stalwart (four-door) sedan.

Lamentably, however, the popular in Canada (but not in the US) wagon and (Euro-style) hatchback versions of Focus were discontinued.

The ‘08 refresh of Focus included new front and rear body fascias, improved sound insulation, a redesigned interior and a new-tech multi-media upgrade.

The ‘08 Focus is also an about 45-kg (100-lb) lighter overall and it’s the weight reduction measures included the elimination of a spare tire, which was replaced by an inflator kit.

A real spare tire/wheel could be added as an option.

An auto industry landmark was reached when Ford teamed up with Microsoft to offer a unique new multi-media system called Sync, which (for the first time) allowed control of digital music players and cellular phones with voice commands.

In addition to the benefit of driver hands-free call taking, the Sync system can also translate text messages into voice messages.

The ‘08 Focus, both coupe and sedan, came in S, SE and top-line SES trims. The Sync system was a ($495) option with the SE trim level and standard with SES. On the downside, electronic stability control was not offered on any version of the ‘08 Focus.

The most noticeable change from a driving perspective was the reduction in outside noise and chassis vibration.

The quieter cabin is the result of sound deadening improvements that include the use of thicker glass.

The steering column in this Focus is also mounted on a stronger crossbeam beneath the instrument panel, which helps eliminate vibrations.

The coupe also got a sportier appearance package and a minor improvement in performance.

Just minor tweaking of trim packages followed in 2010. In 2011, the coupe edition was discontinued.

All of which was in preparation for an all-new Focus that arrived (with great fanfare) for the 2012 model year.

If the budget is tight, a used Ford Focus can be an excellent vehicle choice.

Mercedes is classy as can be, or is that C?

‘‘

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class should continue to impress, remain the topseller and make people smile, one acceleration or turn at a time.

’’

Alexandra Straub

The C-Class is a staple product in the MercedesBenz lineup and is their most popular-selling vehicle in the family.

It’s also one that plays a vital role in the Canadian market, one that usually involves snow.

While the all-new C-Class isn’t covered in snow (just yet), it can certainly handle it with minimal effort.

All C-Class sedans come standard with Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.

Though it’s summertime and that feature isn’t being put to use, there are plenty of other new fun things to play with in this five-person sedan.

First off, five people now fit more comfortably inside. It’s larger in every dimension compared to the outgoing C-Class.

Then you’ll be able to bring out that smile more often when it comes to accelerating.

There are two all-new 4and 6-cylinder turbocharged engines from which to choose.

The C300 features a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder that produces

241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. (Note, this isn’t the same engine currently found in the CLA or GLA).

Then there’s the C400.

With 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, this new V6 has more torque and better fuel economy in comparison with the outgoing 2014.

Both engines are paired with a 7G-TRONIC transmission.

Whether using the steering wheel paddle shifters or just letting the car change the gears on its own, you also have the ability to change your driving modes thanks to the Agility Select system that gives you five choices.

There’s Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Individual.

The modes are selfexplanatory.

Driving in the city and want to save more fuel?

Pop it into Eco mode.

Heading to a track and want the best access to power?

That’s a Sport+ kind of day.

My weapon of choice, even for everyday driving, was the Sport mode.

It gives the vehicle enough edge to make it fun and exciting, but without the harshness and abrupt gear changes that would be better suited for the track.

In Sport mode, the modified shifts and throttle response were sensitive enough to add immediate power but not overwhelming, especially in an urban setting.

Then there was the steering response, with a curve adjusted to give you a better grasp for the road, but without the abruptness a Sport mode could potentially offer.

Regardless, whether I was in the 300 or 400, I was a happy driver.

And I had a happy passenger because we both sat in comfort for the hundreds of kilometres we put on this next generation sedan.

Along with its new interior and exterior look, the C Classes are equipped with the next generation of infotainment systems.

That comes complete with Touchpad, integrated Media Interface and MB Apps.

The touchpad and I still need more bonding time.

I found it confusing to use at first and I ended up pressing buttons I shouldn’t have. But if that’s the harshest criticism of the

the eyes.

And it feels great to drive at slow or high speeds.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, should continue to impress, remain the top-seller and make people smile, one acceleration or turn at a time.

The C300 has a starting MSRP of $43,000, while the C400 has a starting MSRP of $51,400.

Okay, the B pillars are quite wide and intrude on my blind spot visibility, bbut again, properly adjusting the mirrors and a shoulder glance will eliminate those anxieties.

When it comes to driving, it checks off all the boxes necessary to make it a luxury sedan.

It’s quiet. Road and engine noises are kept at bay.

Mount Rainier in Washington State stands 4,392 metres high.

Its majestic presence, topped off with an icy garnish, as well as wispy tufts of clouds that surround its peak, leaves onlookers in awe.

The crystal white hue of Mercedes-Benz C400 seems to have a similar effect on people.

They can’t help but stare.

Many people find it easier to position their hand at the bottom of the steering wheel; the trailer will go towards the same direction the hand travels.

Do not rely on your mirrors, turn around and look at the trailer.

When there is any chance of damage, use a spotter who can tell you to stop before damage occurs.

Remember it will get easier with practice.

Honest.

The way you load the trailer can determine how easy you can tow it.

While loading, keep in mind that the tongue weight should be 10 percent to 15 percent of the overall trailer weight.

One of the main causes of trailer sway is not having a large enough percentage of trailer tongue weight compared to gross trailer weight.

To help prevent the trailer from swaying back and forth, a few things can be done.

Try placing heavier cargo in the front of the trailer, ahead of the trailer’s axle.

Also center the cargo left to right and use tie downs to keep the load from sliding.

Trailer sway can also lead to a loss of vehicle control.

When starting out with a new load on a trailer, make

Trailer sway can be a scary experience, especially if it is a large trailer. If this happens, do not panic.

your brakes.

Use a lower gear that will keep a consistent speed without constant use of the brakes. Pull off the road occasionally to let your brakes cool and to check your trailer brakes.

Stay focused on your driving and do not try to perform other tasks.

Remember to check your rear view mirror frequently, relax and enjoy the drive.

‘‘

sure it will not sway by gradually increasing your speed in intervals until highway speed is reached.

If the trailer does begin to sway, try adjusting the cargo and equipment accordingly and then repeat the test.

If repositioning the load and equipment did not help reduce the sway, a sway control or a weight distribution system with sway control may be needed.

Trailer sway can be a scary experience, especially if it is a large trailer.

If this happens, do not panic.

Take your foot off the accelerator and coast to a slower speed; avoid sudden movements of the steering wheel.

Apply the brakes slowly when you are down to a safe speed.

Check your hitch ball, coupler, and safety chains every time you tow.

Many people with long trailer experience use a checklist to be sure all equipment is hooked up and in good condition.

Damage can happen quickly when something goes wrong.

For example, safety chains wear through very quickly if they are in contact with the pavement.

Never allow anyone in or on your trailer while it is being towed and speed limits for trailers are generally lower than for other vehicles.

Leave a little extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Even if you are using trailer brakes, you will not be able to stop nearly as fast as you can without a trailer.

A good general rule is to double the two-second rule, making sure you maintain at least a four-second gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

For heavier trailers, you will need to leave even more space.

The longer the trailer, the further you will have to drive straight into intersections before beginning your turns.

Watch your mirrors carefully and go extra wide, at first, until you get used to it.

When approaching a hill, you will want to keep your speed consistent whether you are going up a hill or down.

When descending, be extra careful not to overwork

Save BIG on our 2014s before they’re gone for good.

Towing a trailer for the first time can be stressful and backing up can bring out words you didn’t know you had in your vocabulary.

For the beginner, the best thing to do to develop your skills is go to a large, empty parking lot and practice.

The key fact to bear in mind before you start is that the trailer will move in the opposite direction of steering input when backing.

Management knew of errors since 2009, hid problem

ICBC to send $38m in refunds Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques ranging from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it overcharged since 2008.

Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed.

The average customer who overpaid all six years will get a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said.

The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20.

The average overpayment was $18 per year.

The refunds plus interest being paid total

nearly $38 million.

Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches.

ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue.

The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance, not basic rates.

The refunds were calculated as part of two independent external reviews that checked millions of insurance transactions over the past six years.

Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the issue concluded ICBC knew the problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013.

Various fixes were contemplated but discarded, according to the auditors’ report.

Faith

ICBC managers feared a solution might harm its relationship with brokers and that disclosure of inaccurate pricing would hurt ICBC’s business position against optional insurance competitors.

The corporation ultimately opted to fix the errors and issue refunds as part of its sweeping $400-million technology upgrade program.

The long-running overcharges were finally made public in April by Transportation Minister Todd Stone – only after he was directly questioned by the media.

ICBC’s board had intended to wait until it had a refund strategy ready to roll out.

Customers renewing their auto insurance since July have been required to update their vehicle’s descriptions, Grossman said.

New Beauty Institute

New Beauty Institute

Get your face and neck back!

With a team of dedicated staff and a commitment to helping Peninsula residents look and feel their best with the latest revolutionary beauty treatments, it’s no wonder New Beauty Institute was recently recognized by the local business community.

Just a few months after celebrating 10 years in business, owner Caree and her team at New Beauty were awarded the 2013 Business Excellence Award for the category of one to seven employees; an honour presented by the South Surrey/White Rock Chamber of Caree Ludwar Commerce.

Caree is thrilled to have received such a recognition from the local business community, and wishes to thank all of her loyal clients, old and new, for their support over the past 10 years.

As a cutting-edge facility offering innovative anti-aging care, New Beauty strives to research the best, highly-proven tools, techniques and treatments in today’s Beauty Industry.

One such treatment is CoolSculpting, a revolutionary body-contouring treatment that precisely kills stubborn fat. CoolSculpting eliminates fat cells in stubborn areas, such as love handles or back fat. “We are offering inner thigh and saddle bag treatments. This is outstanding – I did my right leg first, and had to do my left,” says Caree.

After four years of offering this amazing treatment, Caree says it is still their most highly sought-after body-contouring procedure.

“The results have exceeded our expectations,” she says.

Another of New Beauty’s most popular and effective age-defying treatments is Ultherapy, a non-surgical procedure that targets the muscle first, then the dermis, and then the epidermis.

All three layers result in an immediate improvement in the youthful appearance of the face, lasting for two to four years depending on your age. Ultherapy achieves undeniable skin-tightening in just one treatment, with no recovery time.

Caree has been trained and certified in the USA, France and Canada - and Ultherapy is her signature treatment. This treatment provides an uplift to the chin, jowl and brow. You can start with the jowls, and when clients see it working they come back to have the brow done, erasing years from their face by lifting the hooding of the eyelid, which opens up the eyes. Bat wings are another popular “trouble spot” that clients target with this treatment. New Beauty does a free evaluation of the skin to determine a treatment plan for each individual client.

New Beauty is hosting an Ultherapy Informational Evening on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at their 112-1656 Martin Drive clinic, from noon to 3 p.m., featuring free demonstrations and consultations.

White Rock South Surrey Hospice Thrift Store

THRIFT STORE Beginning Friday, August 15

For discriminating treasure hunters A few of White Rock, South The White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society Surrey Hospice Thrift Store’s provides emotional, practical and spiritual Volunteers support for individuals and their families and friends who are facing advanced illness or bereavement. And with the thrift store providing a reliable source of revenue throughout the year, the Society – a community based, registered charity – is less dependent on donations and fundraising events.

The shop has become a destination for many, both in the local community and from other areas. The word has spread about our high-end merchandise, fabulous displays and devoted volunteers who all make the hospice thrift store a delightful spot to “SHOP, SAVE, SUPPORT.” If you are looking for furniture, home furnishings, fashionable clothing, kitchen wares, appliances, books, collectibles or jewelry, we have an incredible choice and, of course, it changes daily. This is due to the wonderful support of donors who give items, both new and gently used.

We highly value our caring store volunteers. Without them, we could not have opened our doors – some receive, sort and price, assist customers and create displays, while others lend their expertise to research and price our valuables such as jewelry, art and collectibles. And some spend time testing and fixing all the electronics and appliances.

Hours are Monday, 11 a.m.- 4 p.m., Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Donations are received Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m.- 3 p.m., and we are closed Sundays and holidays. If you are interested in volunteering or donating items, please call us or go to www.whiterockhospice.org.

Something you might not know about us: If you are looking for a particular item, call and leave your information. We will contact you if we receive the something special you are looking for.

And a follow up to our recent “SUMMER CELEBRATION” sale: Many thanks to MEMPHIS BLUES BBQ HOUSE for their participation and to our valued customers.

This event was so successful that we will be hosting it every July. From the customer attendance and extra help from our volunteers, it appears that everyone will be looking forward to next year.

South Point Dental Centre When it comes to your family’s health, finding a trusted dentist for all your oral-care needs is an essential part of maintaining overall health and wellness in your home.

It’s important to see the same dentist regularly, which will allow you to establish a trusting relationship, and provide a sense of familiarity between the dentist and your oralhealth needs and history.

But choosing a dentist isn’t as easy as choosing a Dr. Edmund Wong restaurant to dine in; there is plenty to consider when seeking out the care of an oral-health professional.

Here are some important steps to take when searching for a dentist for your family: Getting a referral If you and your family are moving to a new community, it’s helpful to ask your current dentist if he or she can provide a recommendation. Or, ask any friends or relatives you may have in your new community if they have any suggestions.

Checking out the logistics Logistics are an important part of the selection process, including accessibility, office hours, dental emergencies and languages spoken.

Not every dental office accepts new patients throughout the year, so a quick call can determine whether they’d be available to treat your family.

Paying a visit Visiting the dental office in person is an important next step, as it will help you to determine if it was easy to get to and how long the trip took from your home. You can also assess how you feel about the office and waiting room’s level of cleanliness and organization, and the overall ambience that you receive from staff when you arrive.

Talking with the doctor Once you have found an office you’re comfortable with, it’s important to discuss with the dentist their approach to treatment, the services they provide and what preventative oralhealth measures they advocate.

At South Point Dental Centre, the experienced team of dentists, hygienists and staff provide a wide range of dental services and welcome new patients of all ages to their South Surrey clinic.

Dr. Edmund Wong, Dr. Angie Lohachitranont and Dr. Norina Leung make a point of staying on top of the latest in oral-health technology and advancements. The clinic strives to ensure personalized, professional treatment and quality care in a caring, friendly environment.

To find out more about the services at South Point Dental Centre, or to book an appointment to meet one of the dentists, call 604-535-8880.

LOOKING for SOMETHING you will BOTH ENJOY…

Arthur Murray Whether you have been dancing your whole life and want to add to your skills, or it has been something you have always wanted to do but did not take the time to do it, or you have an upcoming event you wish to feel confident about, Arthur Murray Dance Studio in White Rock has something for you.

The talented and experienced team, led by Franchisee Sheryle Gallivan, can help you spruce up your Waltz or try out the Salsa, all the while enjoying Arthur Murray Staff the company of others in a social environment.

“Our main focus is to create an atmosphere of fun and relaxation while attaining the skills you wish to achieve,” says Sheryle. “If you feel nervous about learning something new, just remember that dancing is just walking and moving to music. All we do is add the timing, the patterns and the styling.”

Since opening its doors in 2003, the studio has helped countless individuals – anywhere from students who want to make dance a hobby, are just looking to get fit, want to brush up for an upcoming event, to students who are looking to compete or perform. Although we can facilitate a wide range of requests, the majority of students generally want to be comfortable social dancers.

“It’s a great healthy activity, and its benefits are not only physical, but mental, emotional and social, as well,” says Sheryle. “We have people of all ages, from six years old to 93 years old, who come in.”

In fact, dancing may be better for you than you think. According to Sheryle, research has proven that ballroom dancing can help with the prevention of Alzheimer’s as it makes the brain work with the body to remember and execute the steps.

Dancing can help those recovering from injuries or anyone who wishes to improve balance, co-ordination or, of course, feel more confident on the dance floor. “Confidence is”, says Sheryle “after all, just knowledge, and we have a wealth of knowledge to share!”

And dancing is fun! “Almost everyone leaves here smiling. Learning to dance, of course, involves time and money, but the smiles are free and they are priceless!” Sheryle says.

For those getting ready to take that next step in their relationship and decide to wed, the studio team can help make that first dance –where you look into each other’s eyes as a married couple – as romantic, entertaining and comfortable as possible. Arthur Murray has a wide range of first dance programs, from the basics to an extravagant choreographed dance.

So that you do not have to make a decision sight unseen, and to experience what learning to dance would be like, the team offers a free, no obligation lesson. For the convenience of their clients scheduling, the lessons are arranged by appointment.

“We have personally experienced the amazing gifts that being a confident dancer has to offer, and we are passionate about sharing those gifts with others,” says Sheryle. “Why wait another moment? Start the journey now.”

Let us find your match!

CWL Auto For 28 years, CWL Auto has been a top pick for quality pre-owned cars, trucks and SUVs. Owner Blair Morrison and his friendly, knowledgeable staff take pride in calling the South Surrey-White Rock community home, and have worked hard to make CWL Auto a Blair Morrison favourite local car dealership.

Rather than simply selling cars, the staff at CWL Auto match each customer with the vehicle that is right for him or her. This attention to detail has earned the dealership immense respect in South Surrey, White Rock and throughout the Lower Mainland.

Honest business practices have also awarded CWL Auto an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau, the highest ranking available.

Earlier this year, this success allowed CWL Auto to move from a lot on the 3000-block of King George Boulevard, where 15 cars were displayed, to a much larger space at 3601 King George Boulevard – which has a capacity for 85 vehicles.

The new location offers a full-service facility for any make and model of car. Each car on site features a 158-point inspection and comes with a full history disclosure.

CWL Auto also does all the financing for its top-quality pre-owned vehicles.

“We stand behind the vehicles we sell. We give each customer personalized attention to make sure they find the exact vehicle they’re looking for that suits their needs,” says Morrison.

“Customers are treated like friends and family. We only sell the best quality of cars.”

Since Morrison and his dedicated staff work hard to find their customers the right fit, CWL Auto has experienced tremendous growth with repeat business and referrals.

An important part of the community, the dealership also actively supports charities and schools in South Surrey.

For more information, drop by CWL Auto at 3601 King George Boulevard, call 604-541-AUTO (2886) or visit www.cwlauto.com.

Potters Gardening In August.

For many gardeners the month of August begins the downhill slide into off season.

Warm climate gardeners have a second chance, but some don’t have a second wind after summer’s heat. Your garden is hardier than you think and there are plenty of Cam Scott gardening tasks for August that will keep your flower and vegetable gardens going longer, as well as opportunities to get a head start on next year’s garden plans.

• Pick herbs for fresh use and for drying. Harvesting regularly will keep them growing longer and keep plants from getting leggy.

• Check that your mulch hasn’t decomposed and add more as needed. Mulches will help keep moisture in the soil and reduce soil erosion. Nature Gold Landscape Mulch Is a perfectly composted and fertilized mulch.

• Spread a mid-season layer of compost or manure. Sea Soil is perfect for this. Sea Soil is OMRI Listed and is a blend of rich organics from the forest and the sea.

• Keep deadheading those baskets and planters. Removing spent flowers and foliage will promote fresh blossoms and deter seed production.

• Remove any diseased foliage now, so it doesn’t get lost in the fall leaves.

• Cut back the foliage of early bloomers like Brunnera and hardy geraniums, to revitalize the plants.

• Prune summer flowering shrubs as the flowers fade.

• Trim and feed hanging baskets and containers to prolong their beauty. Trim back any leggy growth, spent flowers, feed weekly with water soluble such as 15-30-15 to promote repeat blooms.

• Take lots of pictures of your garden at its peak. Take pictures of container combinations you’d like to repeat … or not!

• Get your fall-blooming crocus and colchicum planted so they’ll bloom on time. Also have a look at the best selections for fall planting spring blooming bulbs. Garden centers will be starting to stock inventories of these in Mid to late August. Shop early for best selection!

You have worked so hard at getting the garden to look this good, so following a few steps right through summer will keep it looking great year round!

Call the friendly folks at Check-Point for your...

Check Point Plumbing With a commitment to customer satisfaction and nearly 100 years of combined industry experience, Check Point Plumbing is proud to Beth, Dave, Rich and Kent offer top-notch, knowledgeable service you can count on.

Whether it’s a clogged sink, a leaky hot water tank or a gas fireplace on the fritz, the team at Check Point Plumbing will get the job done quickly and accurately, according to co-owner Beth Henderson.

“We do the job right the first time and ensure that the customer is satisfied,” Henderson said. “We’re very proud of the work we do.”

With winter upon us, it’s the time of year many homeowners think about replacing their old, inefficient furnace with a newer and more efficient model.

In some respects, today’s high-efficiency furnaces, which generally start around $4,000, are better engineered than the $30,000 car you drive off the lot.

With up to 95 per cent efficiency, more heat goes into your home than up the chimney with older models.

Redesigned heat exchangers – complete with recovery coils – better insulation with state-of-the-art controls and energy-efficient blower motors, some with four speeds and quiet as a whisper, all provide long-lasting comfort.

High and low-fire gas valves combined with variable speed blowers provide the perfect amount of heat required – for warmer days, the gas valve fires on low mode and the blower cuts in on low speed; for cold days, both the gas valve and the blower operate on high to bring your home up to a set temperature, where it will stay comfortably.

Also important is a good digital thermostat to replace the old mechanical style you may still have.

The friendly folks at Check Point Plumbing would be more than happy to visit your home to check out your existing unit and make some recommendations.

With an emphasis on providing great customer service and competitive pricing, Check Point Plumbing is your best choice for all your plumbing, heating and gas fitting needs.

Coupon program expanded by B.C. government

Farm-market program grows Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has expanded its program to offer coupons worth $15 a week for farm market produce to pregnant women, seniors and low-income families who take a nutrition course.

Health Minister Terry Lake announced last weekend that an additional $750,000 has been added to the program for its third year of province-wide operation, in addition to $4 million provided in 2012 and 2013.

The program runs July through October, as harvest comes off local farms. It is administered by the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets.

Participants take a free nutrition and skills program that includes cooking, canning and preserving, and are issued weekly coupons that can be used like cash at participating farm markets to buy locally grown fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy products, nuts and herbs.

The program is expanded this year to include additional farm markets in White Rock, Maple Ridge, Clearwater, Salmon Arm, Lytton, Fort St. John, Terrace, Whistler, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, Port Alberni and Victoria.

Fisheries and Oceans estimates this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run could be as high as 23 million

Are you eating right for your retina?

Sockeye return to Fraser River Monisha Martins Black Press

As the Ocean Renegade drifts closer, Jay Oswald leaps off his barge and into the hold to toss sockeye salmon into a huge white plastic bin.

Behind him, four other boats cluster, waiting to offload their catch.

As a crane lifts a load of sockeye off the boat and on to his barge named Slush, Oswald scans the scale, yelling the weight of the catch to his colleague Kevin Fairley who scribbles it on to a form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;535!,â&#x20AC;? bellows Oswald as sockeye slip into a slurry of ice, all destined for a fishprocessing plant in Steveston.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada estimates this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fraser River sockeye run could see as many as 23 million salmon.

For the first time this season, 250 gillnetting boats fished the Fraser River from Steveston to Mission during a three-hour opening for the commercial fleet on Monday.

Fishermen docking at Kanaka Landing in Maple Ridge say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still too early to say how good the run is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Rosiek, a veteran commercial gill netter who has been fishing the coast for the past 56 years.

Rosiek was on board the Top Gunnar Monday, which hauled in about 400 sockeye during the brief opening from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was way too short,â&#x20AC;? mumbled Rosiek, a cigarette hanging from his mouth as he tied the boat.

Joe Lepore on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony Louâ&#x20AC;? agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to catch 10,000 if I could,â&#x20AC;? he said, with a laugh. The fish were selling for $15 a piece on the dock.

The prized red sockeye entering the river now are the offspring of the 2010 run â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the largest sockeye return on the Fraser in 100 years.

This year is shaping up to be similar in scope, with high forecast predicting as many as 70 million sockeye returning to B.C. rivers. The bulk of it will be in the late run which includes the prodigious Adams River stock.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada estimates around 70,000 sockeye were caught Monday, with each boat hauling an average catch of 275.

There are no more openings planned for this week but Barbara Mueller, a resource manager with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, expects an update later in the week.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

that has been tailored to offer the very best appliances from respected leaders in the industry for every resident.

Homeowners will be within easy walking distance of the new Evergreen Line’s Burquitlam Station and other urban amenities, but will be able to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind when they return home to their quiet, relaxing retreat. Novella will be just steps from Burquitlam Park with its variety of amenities, including a playground, lit tennis courts and basketball courts.

Interior designer Jillian Harris has returned to design the PNE Prize Home for the third year, and this year has taken inspiration from Kelowna. The house will be re-located there once a winner has been named next month.

PNE celebrates 80 years of the Prize Home Lottery

By Kerry Vital

The PNE Prize Home is an iconic part of the annual Fair, and this year’s home is truly spectacular.

The Prize Home has been designed by Jillian Harris for the third year. Harris, who has starred on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is the current co-host of Love It or List It Vancouver, drew inspiration from her passion for Kelowna, her current home.

Once the winner is announced, the home will be transported to an estate-sized lot on Kelowna’s Kirschner Mountain. The 3,000-square-foot home, built by Britco, is worth about $1.3 million, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

“Explore the 2014 PNE Prize Home, and you’ll find it open and bright with a fresh,

neutral palette accented with rustic surprises,” says Harris. “Each room is designed with touches to soften the space and create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that is ideal for casual living. I can’t wait to present the home to this year’s winner, and welcome them home to my favourite destination!”

One of the highlights of this year’s Prize Home is the dining and wine room, with tons of space for your favourite bottles and gathering around the table with friends and family. Casual living is the hallmark of the home, and there are plenty of places to relax.

The master bedroom opens onto a huge patio that wraps around much of the upper floor, and the ensuite is spa-like, with a large soaker tub and separate shower.

Downstairs, the kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar, and there is plenty of space to fulfill all of your gourmet dreams.

“This home is really about lifestyle,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance. “It’s about engaging with family and friends, and reflecting why we as British Columbians love living in this province.”

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the home giveaway, and to celebrate the PNE Prize Home Lottery will give away a special edition Corvette, plus five luxury trips, 11 cars or cash draws, three early bird draws and the 50/50 draw.

“The PNE was the first to do a destination resort home prize,” says Ballance. “We always want to do something different.”

The furniture and accessories are also part of the home, from Lane Home Furnishings.

The winner will also receive Jenn-Air and Maytag appliances from Coast Wholesale Appliances, an outdoor living package from Coast Spas Lifestyles and a $2,500 grocery

package from IGA. Tickets can be purchased online, via phone at 604-252-3688 or toll-free at 1-877-9464663 or at the Fair at the PNE before Sept. 1.

The winner will be drawn on Sept. 4.

Market strength carries into summer SURREY, BC – Continued demand for single family homes and townhomes resulted in the busiest July in five years for the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. The Board’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) processed 1,615 sales in July, an increase of 11 per cent compared to the 1,456 sales in July last year and 1.4 per cent above the 10-year average for the month.

Ray Werger, President of the Board, says, “July’s steady activity is a continuation of what we’ve been seeing all year. Our market has fully recovered from last year’s slump and has returned to what we typically see in the Fraser Valley, which is a steady, consistent market.”

In July, the Board received 2,724 new listings, a decrease of 2 per cent compared to July 2013 taking the number of active listings in Fraser Valley to 9,636, a decrease of 8 per cent compared to the volume available in July 2013.

Werger says, “Although our sales were slightly above average for the month, the volume of new listings added to the MLS® was 7 per cent lower than what’s typical for July, so for certain property types

and price ranges we’re actually seeing a shortage of listings creating a seller’s market for particular homes.

“When demand starts to exceed supply it puts upward pressure on prices and in areas such as White Rock/South Surrey, North Delta and Langley we’ve seen an increase in benchmark prices of single family detached homes ranging from 3 to 6.6 per cent over the last year. It’s a different story for condos. In most of our market, there’s excellent selection and prices lower than they were one year ago offering tremendous opportunities for buyers.”

In July, the benchmark price, as determined by the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI), of a ‘typical’ single family detached home was $568,300, an increase of 3 per cent compared to July 2013 when it was $551,000.

The HPI benchmark price of Fraser Valley townhouses increased by 0.2 per cent; going from $297,800 in July 2013 to $298,500 in July 2014.

The benchmark price of apartments was $194,700 last month, a decrease of 3.6 per cent compared to $202,000 in July of last year.

It

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Doris Mary Ferry in the early hours of Tues. Aug. 5/2014@ Zion Park Manor, Cloverdale, at the age of 94.

She is survived by her daughters Mary Anne (Bill) Johnston, Jacqui Ferry (AI McNutt), Trudy (Jim) Davies, grand-daughters Amanda and Monica Davies, sister Mabel Rogers, sister-in-law Alma Hill as well as many nieces, nephews and grand-nephews and grand-nieces.

Doris was a school teacher for many years in Langley and Surrey. She taught kindergarten, children with special needs as well as those in the regular classroom. She was honoured by the Langley Teacher’s Association with a life-time membership.

Doris was a minister’s wife and with her husband served mission fields and churches in Saskatchewan and several churches in the Greater Vancouver area. In later life she and her husband attended Sharon United Church in Langley. After John passed away, she was a core member of Hazelmere United Church, a little country heritage church near Cloverdale.

Doris was loved by all who knew her. Unconditional love, family and music were core to her being. She treated all people with love, compassion, dignity and respect. She will be deeply missed.

A celebration of her life will be held at Hazelmere United Church, 1614 184th St., Surrey (comer of 184th St. and 16th Ave. in Surrey) on Wed. August 20, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in her memory to Hazelmere United Church or to a charity or your choice. (For donations to Hazelmere church please make cheques payable to Hazelmere United Church, memo line to say: Doris Ferry memorial; mailed to Cloverdale United Church, 1757558A Ave., Surrey, B.C.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the people at Zion Park Manor for their love and care.

TRAVEL

John died tragically while on a summer vacation with his family in Veranda Beach, Washington.

He is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart Debbie, children Matthew, Ben and Olivia; his father John Mele Sr. (Noirin); sisters Chris Reid (Mike) & Jeannie Felski (Hank); mother-in-law Marilyn Hawes; brothers-in-law Rob (Lise) & Gary (Courtney); nieces Danica, Emily, Katie and nephews Evan, Theo & Henry. John was predeceased by his mother Toni Mele and father-in-law Ron Hawes.

John was known for enjoying life to the fullest. Affectionately nicknamed “Johnny Good-times” and “Johnny Drama” by his closest friends, he accomplished more in his 43 years than most would hope to achieve in a lifetime. He was a well-known, active and respected member in the South Surrey community. Partners in Royal Lepage Westgard Realty with his trusted friend Chuck Westgard, the two worked together closely on many other business ventures. However, John’s proudest achievement and greatest legacy is his beautiful family. He was actively involved in all of his children’s activities as a coach or supportive spectator and nothing brought him more joy than to see each one of his kids grow, learn, and succeed. His family, many friends, numerous business associates and partners will dearly miss John. He was a bright light that was extinguished much too soon.

A Celebration of John’s Life will be held at Peace Portal Church (15128 27B Ave, Surrey, BC) on Wednesday, August 20th at 3pm.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in John Mele’s name to the Peace Arch Hospital (15521 Russell Avenue, White Rock, BC).

Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
