Page 1: Cloverdale Reporter, December 02, 2015

By Jeff NagelAerial spraying in Surrey and Delta last

spring appears to have succeeded in eradicat-ing an infestation of European gypsy moths.

Provincial government offi cials say just two moths have since been found in the 4,500-hectare Surrey spray zone around Clo-verdale and Panorama Ridge, and no moths have been trapped in Delta, where 200 hect-ares was sprayed near where Highway 91 con-nects to highways 99 and 10.

About 200 moths had been trapped in the previous summer of 2014.

No further spraying is planned for 2016, ac-cording to forests ministry offi cials, but con-tinued intensive trapping is planned around Surrey to determine what kind of treatment program may be needed in future years.

Helicopters sprayed treatment agent Foray

48B. It contains the naturally occurring bac-teria Btk, which kills the fuzzy leaf-munching caterpillars before the larvae turn into adult moths.

Th e introduced moth is destructive to for-ests, orchards, farms and urban trees. Halting its advance is also considered important to avoid trade restrictions.

Some angry residents complained that they did not get enough advance warning of the spray program.

Th ere were claims of allergic reactions – un-confi rmed by health offi cials – as well as local concern that other species such as butterfl ies and bees might be harmed.

It was the fi rst time B.C. has sprayed to con-trol gypsy moths since a 2010 infestation in Richmond.

School challenge helps hamper causeBy Jennifer LangLet the battle begin,

and may the most gen-erous school win.

A good-natured rivalry between Clayton Heights Secondary and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary to see which school can collect the most donations for a local holiday food ham-per program has heated up this year.

From now until Dec. 11, the two student councils will be urging students, staff , par-ents, and community members to support the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program. Th e non-denominational campaign, head-quartered at Pacifi c Community Church, provides food hampers and gift s to as many as 600 Cloverdale resi-dents (or about 300 local families) during the holidays.

Now in its 24th year, the grassroots program relies on donations from individuals, businesses, churches and schools. Cloverdale schools perform the heavy lift ing in terms of donations, according to Hannah Hollander, co-student council president at Lord Tweedsmuir along with Alan Wu and Claire McCallum, who are overseeing their school food drive.

At Clayton Heights, the food drive is being organized by the school’s Project Equal group, headed by Taylor Mackie, Aly Nuruddin and Emily Markwart.

LTS has already been out collecting dona-tions for Cloverdale residents, mounting the Halloween for Hunger food drive in October,

which saw students going door to door to collect on behalf of the Surrey Food Bank. About 30 students took part, raising 1,200 donations.

On Friday Dec. 11, Lord Tweedsmuir is holding a Community Donation Drop-off event at the front of the school, located at 6151 180 Street.

All parents and community members are invited to bring do-nations from 2:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Th ere will be free hot chocolate, coff ee, Christmas music and student volunteers on hand to collect as donors drive through.

Help pack the car

Th ere’s also a major food drive in support of

the Cloverdale Christ-mas Hamper Program this Friday (2:30-8 p.m.) at Hillcrest Village Mall, located at 18710 Fraser Hwy).

Pack the Police Car is an annual event host-ed by Save-on-Foods, the Cloverdale/Port Kells Surrey RCMP detachment, Pacifi c Community Church,

the City of Surrey and Hillcrest Mall.

Suggested donations include: non perishable food items (canned veg-etables and fruit, soup, crackers canned meat or fi sh, condiments, pasta, rice); grocery and food gift cards; toilet-ries and personal care items; new gloves, socks and scarves; new, un-

wrapped children’s toys and gift s (ages newborn to 12 years); mall/store gift cards for youth ages 13-17).

Donations of cash are also needed. For more information call 604-574-4001 ext 107 or email cloverdale [email protected]

Just another dayTo the editor;As Black Friday loomed followed by the

impending Christmas season I began to worry about my days. I am fully in support of various causes and events of awareness but our 24 hour slots are quickly being con-sumed by ‘special days’. Failing to stem the tide we risk fi nding ourselves with a day shortage.

Cyber Monday, Toonie Tuesday, Super-bowl Sunday and Seniors Th ursday leave only Wednesday, Friday and Saturday un-claimed. ‘Floater’ days remove a vast number more: Boxing Day, Halloween, Valentines Day, Worldwide Celebration of Weights and Measures Day, Wookie Life Day and others are quickly eliminating ordinary 24-hour stretches.

Weeks are also falling prey to unilaterally declared causes, Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Global Entrepreneur Week, World-wide Breastfeeding Week are examples. With fewer weeks available confl icts are arising.

Th e UN-declared World Space Week fi nds itself at odds with with the Marijua-na Users Association, which wants to use the same time slot for

World Spaced Week. Geography Awareness Week organizers, however, have gone into talks with their counterparts at the Direc-tionally Challenged Week offi ces.

Both groups are hoping for a mutually productive collaboration.

Months are no exception to the onslaught. October was declared 4-H Month, as well as American Cheese Month and Meno-pause Month. November’s competition sees Banana Pudding Lovers, Pecan Eaters and

Novel Writers all vying to have this same slot as their own. Future confl ict can be assured.

I submit that we end this penchant for special days, weeks and months. To have a simple Saturday where there are no con-cerns other than sitting would be satisfying. A mundane Monday where I do no more than mumble about the morons around me would be marvellous. Weeks without World Alliance groups waving placards and months devoid of declarations of various sorts seems desirable.

Act now before the days, weeks and months of your calendar are as gone as

your choices!Ryan LengsfeldNelson, B.C.

A costly boondoggleTo the editor; Re: “B.C. Views: Lights go out for Site C op-

ponents,” CloverdaleReporter.com.Just a couple of weeks ago I stood at the

overlook above the proposed Site C dam site near Fort St John, and saw a swathe of clear-cuts. Local residents described how Hydro cut old-growth eagle trees, crushed beaver dams with machinery, and chipped tall trees despite promises to salvage merchantable timber.

When viewed against Hydro’s nine-year engineering plan, these are baby steps. Log-ging riverbanks and harassing eagles is not dam construction. Th ere is plenty of time to stop this costly boondoggle that has been purposely kept sheltered from full regulatory scrutiny.

And yes, Virginia, agricultural soils – not just the boreal forest – do store globally sig-nifi cant amounts of carbon. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, agricultural soils are among the planet’s larg-est reservoirs of carbon and hold potential for expanded carbon sequestration.

Even more to the point, agricultural soils produce food, which we can no longer aff ord to take for granted in an era of droughts and extreme weather. Th e Peace Valley has the capacity to provide fruits and vegetables for one million British Columbians every year.

When the government doesn’t listen – the only option left to citizens is to go to court. Treaty 8 First Nations and Peace Valley land-owners are giving it all they’ve got.

Support saves SantaBy Jennifer LangTh ere’s been a groundswell of

support from sponsors behind Cloverdale’s biggest, brightest night of the year – Surrey’s San-ta Parade of Lights, set to dazzle thousands of spectators in the his-toric downtown Sunday evening.

Th e 10th annual event com-bines the good old-fashioned cheer of a lighted community pa-rade featuring an array of fl oats, cars, trucks and groups plus a daz-zling procession of big rig trucks festooned with decorations.

Co-organized by the Cloverdale BIA and the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, the 2015 event was in jeopardy due to rising costs – and a budget-conscious BIA board that shelved two signature events this year – the Blueberry Festival and the Halloween Cos-tume Parade, in hopes of bringing them back in the future.

Last April the Cloverdale BIA board of directors approved a re-vised budget that allocates more resources to beautifi cation proj-ects and attracting new business-es, among other priorities, but was determined to save the Santa Parade.

In September, the BIA launched the Save the 2015 Surrey Santa Parade Campaign, a fundraising drive aimed at businesses and in-dividuals.

Along with a pledge of $5,000

from the City of Surrey an-nounced in October, which will cover approximately 75 per cent of policing and traffi c control costs of the parade, key support has come from a range of spon-sors pledging $500 and more, ensuring the participation of the Island Equipment Owners Group.

In previous years, B.C. FerryCorporation sponsored these entries by covering travel costs, Cloverdale BIA executive director Paul Orazietti told the Reporter.

Th e Parade of Lights also func-

Child poverty ‘crisis’ in B.C.

An annual child pov-erty report card is once again criticizing B.C.’s high child poverty rate and lack of a compre-hensive plan to address it.

Th e report from the First Call B.C. Child

and Youth Advocacy Coalition found 20.4 per cent of children in B.C. lives in poverty, higher than the Canadi-an average of 19 per cent.

Th at’s down margin-ally from a year earlier but advocates say it’s far too high.

“Th e data in this report is evidence of a continuing child pov-erty crisis that reaches into every corner of the province,” said the coa-lition’s Cheryl Mixon.

Just over half of those children – 85,450 – live in Metro Vancouver, and many are the kids of single moms.

“Poverty robs chil-dren of their potential,” said Michael McKnight, CEO of the United Way of the Lower Mainland. “It not only raises social costs, it threatens our future prosperity. We

need a concerted eff ort from all levels of gov-ernment to bring the poverty rate down for families with children.”

Policy recommen-dations in the report

include adopting a s $10-a-day subsidized child care plan, increas-ing and indexing the minimum wage and welfare rates, expand-ing EI benefi ts and

eligibility, and increas-ing aff ordable housing options for families.

Cold weather keeps shelter doors open

By Kevin DiakiwWith temperatures continuing

to dip into the negative zone, Surrey has opened its extreme weather beds earlier than planned.

Peter Fedos, the Extreme Weather Coordinator for Surrey and White Rock, said the  fore-cast of an El Nino winter (a climate condition characterized by warm ocean temperatures, which keeps weather temperate) has not developed yet.

Surrey opened the extreme shelters from Nov. 11 to 13, then opened them again on Nov. 19.

Th ey have remained open since then and were expected to be up and running until at least Tuesday (Dec. 1).

Th is year, rather than opening all 80 beds at once, organizers are opening a few and making more available as they are need-

ed. Most years, many shelters open, but have several unused spaces.

Th e new method is hoped to maximize the use of available funding, while keeping a reason-able workload for social service providers.

Surrey Urban Mission and other sites will open as needed, depending on the weather and anticipated need.

Th at time looks like it’s ar-rived, Fedos said.

“I’m looking at White Rock, and they’re averaging eight (peo-ple) a night,” Fedos said. “And that’s a pretty good indication people are coming in out of the cold.”

Extreme weather alerts are issued when temperatures dip below freezing, when there is signifi cant snow or windstorms, or heavy rains when it becomes

diffi cult to keep dry.Temperatures were expected

to dip below freezing for anotherweek, according to Environment Canada.

Beds were being made avail-able are at the following loca-tions:

• Cloverdale Community Kitchen, 5337 180 St. – 15 beds

• Hyland House Newton - Options Community Services Society, 6595 King George Hwy. – 15 beds

• Legacy Church EWR – Lookout Emergency Aid Society,9012 160th St. – 25 beds

• Positive Haven EWR Shelter - Lookout Emergency Aid Soci-ety, 10697 135A St. – 10 beds

Anyone in need of a warm place to sleep is encouraged to drop by one of the above loca-tions for information or call 211.

Sikh health ambassadorsFraser Health has launched a new program

through Sikh temples in Surrey and Burnaby aimed at helping the region’s more than 240,000 South Asians improve and protect their health.

The Sehat Wellness Ambassador program plac-es volunteers trained by Fraser’s public health team in the temples to encourage actions to pre-vent illness and chronic disease, such as getting their blood pressure checked, undergoing cancer screenings or getting an annual flu shot.

South Asians are four time more likely to con-tract heart disease and diabetes due to various factors, including family history, diet and life-style.

“We know that approaching people in their own community is an effective way to pro-mote good health,” said Dr. Victoria Lee, Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer.

“The support of temple and community leaders is critical and allows us to use innovative strate-gies to address the burden of preventable diseas-es.”

Ambassadors will be in the Guru Nanak Sikh

Gurdwara, Gurdwara Sahib Brookside and Laxmi Narayan Mandir temples in Surrey.

The program is to expand to other communi-ties next year.

PharmaNet underusedA new report calls for more doctors to use a pro-

vincial database to prevent abuse of prescription pain killers and reduce the number of overdose deaths.

Th e B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS says only 30 per cent of B.C. doctors use the PharmaNet program.

It helps doctors avoid both dangerous drug inter-actions by determining if patients are using some-thing else, and to see if patients are trying to get opi-oids like oxycodone from multiple providers.

– Black Press

More micro-beer offeringsCraft beer lovers should soon fi nd more local va-

rieties in B.C. government liquor stores.Th e stores will reserve dedicated shelf space start-

ing Nov. 30 for beer from local microbreweries that has not typically been off ered in government stores.

Exactly what’s sold will vary by location.Th ere are more than 100 eligible microbreweries

– producing no more than 15,000 hectolitres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 cur-rently unlisted varieties from the nearest breweries.

– Black Press

Booze in restaurantsTh e latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the

rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food.

Th ey’re now allowed to sit anywhere in the restau-rant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food.

Th at’s expected to provide some more fl exibility to restaurants that no longer need to have defi ned lounge areas.

“Th is is a small change that will make a big im-pact,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association.

“Th e restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are dining or enjoying a cocktail.”

Th e rules for music and comedy performances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to ap-ply for a permit to host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOShopping ambassador Ann-Marie Arnold-Smith is pumped for the second annual Ladies Night Out, sponsored by the Cloverdale BIA.

Shop until you drop Th ursday

It’s already become a tradition worth keeping.

It’s the Cloverdale BIA’s Ladies’ Night Out shopping event, back for the second year in a row this Th urs-day night (Dec. 3) from 5-9 p.m. in the historic town centre.

Participating merchants along 176 Street are hosting a late night shop-ping event aimed at maximizing fun and friendship in the lead up to the busy holiday season.

Grab your BFFs and head on down for an evening of fun and shopping on 176 Street, where two dozen mer-chants – and another dozen vendors who are participating as stores-with-in-stores – are laying out the welcome mat with goodies, refreshments, and festivities, along with plenty of deals.

Guys – watch the game at a local eatery or pub while your other half shops and the two of you can make a night of it by meeting up before and aft er.

Shoppers can enter to win prizes: there are $,1000 in gift certifi cates up for grabs. Enter to win by shopping at three or more participating stores (between 5 and 9 p.m.). Follow the red and white balloons to fi nd partic-ipating merchants.

Th e event is modeled on the Steveston Merchant’s Association’s (SMA) Girls’ Night Out, which draws hundreds of women to the historic district each November.

Cloverdale Gateway a runner up at awards

By Jennifer LangTh e Cloverdale

Gateway building was a runner up at last week’s Fraser Valley Commer-cial Building Awards.

Th e Nov. 25 event, held at Cascades Casino in Langley, celebrated the best in commercial and industrial con-struction in the Fraser Valley, from White Rock to Chilliwack.

Surrey Christian School was named best choice overall, and picked up the excellence award in the community institution-al category at the fi ft h annual event.

To be eligible, com-mercial properties must have been completed between Jan. 1, 2014

and Aug. 31, 2015.Cloverdale Gateway,

located at the northwest corner of Highway 10 and 176 Street, is a two-storey commercial building. It was built on a site that had been va-cant for years, languish-

ing behind a chain link fence due to remedia-tion eff orts stemming from its previous use as a Shell gas station.

Surrey Main Works Yard won excellence in the Green building category.

Red Nose team rides to the rescue for partiersVolunteers based out of Langley will pick up holiday revellers at parties in Surrey, White Rock, Langley and Aldergrove

By Monique TammingaNow in its 17th year in

Langley, Operation Red Nose is up and running once again, looking to get people and their vehicles home safe this holiday season.

Working in teams of three on Friday and Saturday nights throughout Decem-ber, (except during Christ-mas) volunteers will pick up people who have enjoyed too much holiday cheer and get them, and their vehicle, home (or wherever they’re headed next).

Drivers based out of

Langley will pick people up at parties in Surrey, White Rock, Langley and Alder-grove.

“We are the biggest chap-ter, in terms of territory,” said co-ordinator Meagan Castron. Th is is Castron’s fi rst year organizing the safe ride home program.

Last year, Langley’s ORN recorded 825 safe rides home.

“We were third best in the province, but I’m hoping to beat that number this year,” Castron said. Teams are busiest on New Year’s Eve, when drivers and their

crews work into the wee hours of the morning.

Th ere is no charge for the service but donations are ac-cepted on behalf of Langley Gymnastics Foundation.

LGF has been running Operation Red Nose each year for 17 years, with its headquarters located inside the gymnastics club’s offi ce. Many of the main volun-teers are staff , parents and others who are part of the foundation.

“I’m pretty excited to get going,” said  Castron. “But now, taking this on, I had no idea how much work was

involved to get it all orga-nized.  I’ve had a lot of help from past co-ordinators and volunteers who have been with us for years.”

Th e daughter of Langley Christmas Bureau co-ordi-nator Leigh Castron, Megan has roped her mother into volunteering, too.

“She said she is all mine, once the bureau is fi nished,” she said.

Several party venues, including Newlands Golf Club, have made donations to the program, recognizing that many of their patrons benefi t from ORN.

“We have hot spots we go to, where big events are happening, but mainly it is fi rst-come, fi rst-served,” she said.

Castron suggests people call about 30 minutes before they want a ride.

Rudy, the reindeer mascot, will be making the rounds with local MVPs, including City Mayor Ted Schaff er, dropping in at several popular party spots during the holidays, to remind people there is a safe and easy way to get home.

Operation Red Nose is still looking for volunteer

drivers. It’s fun to sign up in threes, said Castron. Th at way everyone works together. But they are happy to take volunteers in ones and twos, as well.

“Lots of volunteers are coming back this year be-cause they made friends last year,” she said.

To arrange a ride in Lang-ley, Surrey, White Rock and Aldergrove call 604-532-0888.

To sign up for a night of volunteer driving or navi-gating, go to langleygymnas-tics.ca.

MEET THE MEMBERS!Cloverdale Pharmasave

Dr. Henry Cheng and his wife Anna joined the Pharmasave group in 1983 and worked hard to convert the location from a general drugstore to a specialty pharmacy. In 2014, they passed the torch to their children: owners Fred, Josephine and Christine to bring the same dedication for service to the Cloverdale community. Their mission is to provide the highest standard of integrity, professionalism, knowledge and care to achieve wellness for people and their animals through an integrative approach.

Today, Cloverdale Pharmasave is a leader in Complementary (Integrative) Medicine, Veterinary medications, Compounding (making up of special medications from raw materials), consultations, clinics, seminars, Bio-Identical Natural Hormone Replacement, Ideal Protein Medically Developed Weight Loss Program, cholesterol and blood pressure monitoring, Home Health Care, and more.

After working part time alongside his father while he attended school, Fred Cheng joined Cloverdale Pharmasave as a full time Pharmacist in 2008. He is the resident pain specialist. Christine

Cheng is a pharmacist with a passion for integrating orthodox/Western medicine with alternative & holistic therapies. Josephine Leonard works off-site doing advertising, marketing and is the webmaster to the store’s two websites. She is one of � ve Certi� ed Compression Stockings Fitters at the health centre, and is the organizer of Cloverdale Pharmasave’s “Women’s Health Night” amongst other events.

Fred, Christine and Josephine are all married with children with Fred being the newest parent to a baby girl. Christine and Josephine both have 2 children. Between the three of them, they enjoy all sorts of activities including skiing, skating, hockey, hiking, biking and most of all spending time with their children! Josephine also enjoys being involved with her children’s school.

As a family they are passionate about helping both people and animals. They feel that it is important to help animals as well because in many cases our furry friends affect our emotional well-being. They are also passionate about giving back to the very community that supports them.

As a commitment to a healthy lifestyle, Cloverdale Pharmasave is particularly proud that they have stopped selling tobacco for over 25 years now! Apart

from their in-store services they also provide off-site seminars and clinics to the local communities as well as attend industry trade shows for both people and animals. There are so many testimonials to their service and care for their clients as well as great animal recovery success stories.

They are very excited about their partnership with Today’s Senior Newsmagazine in producing the Aging Gracefully Lifestyle Show which will now be an annual trade show located in Cloverdale, but aiming to serve all the communities in the Fraser Valley.

To the Cheng siblings, the best thing about having a business in Cloverdale is de� nitely the people! Josephine says “we know our clients on a � rst name basis and are super happy and excited when they return with feedback.”

The most recent health care cutbacks de� nitely are a challenge to a pharmacy that strives to maintain an exemplary level of customer service. “Pharmacists are expected to provide more services to help close the gaps in the healthcare system, yet those enforcing this may not have a clear picture as to the types of services we provide already”, says Fred.

The Chamber is proud to have partnered with the Cloverdale Pharmasave on a

few events, the most recent being the � rst Flu Shot Clinic at our of� ce. Come and take a look for their “12 days of Christmas” sale coming Dec 1-12 with in-store demos and special discounts. This is a family owned and run business that clearly knows what it means to take care of their customers. Well done Cloverdale Pharmasave!!

B.C. generosity to refugees ‘overwhelming’By Jeff NagelTh e head of B.C.’s

refugee resettlement eff ort says the generos-ity of residents towards incoming Syrians is “overwhelming” and he’s relieved the federal government has set a more cautious pace for the transfers.

Chris Friesen now estimates 400 Syrian refugees will arrive in B.C. in December and expects another 1,500 in January and Feb-ruary, in line with the federal government’s revised goal of bringing in an additional 25,000 before March.

“Now we’ve got a month or so to catch our breath, thank good-ness,” said Friesen, the director of settlement services for the Immi-grant Services Society

of B.C., which is feder-ally contracted to assist government-sponsored refugees.

He said the magni-tude of the response in B.C. is stunning.

“Th is has become the great Canadian national project,” Friesen said.

“Syrians are for today’s generation what the Vietnamese boat people were to the baby boomers. In the de-cades to come, we will look back at 2015-2016 as an historic moment in Canadian history when Canadians em-braced a humanitarian crisis and responded in untold ways.”

Off ers of tempo-rary and permanent housing, employment and myriad donations have been fl ooding in, from donors as diverse as inner city kinder-

garten classes and seniors homes to Jewish synagogues and Sikh businessmen.

An 18-unit apart-ment building in Vancouver’s West End that had been slated for demolition has been off ered up by developer Ian Gillespie.

“He’s turned it over on his dime – fully fur-nished with telephones, computers – for up to the end of March so we can get through this crunch period,” Friesen said.

Refugees will stay in temporary accommo-dations like that for a couple of weeks, get oriented, fi nd perma-nent housing and rotate out as new Syrians arrive.

Th e top priority now is fi nding the perma-nent homes, many of

which are expected to be in more aff ordable Metro Vancouver cities such as Surrey and Coquitlam.

Indo-Canadian de-veloper Daljit Th ind, an immigrant himself, has off ered several well-ap-pointed permanent apartments on King-sway in Vancouver at welfare rates, far below what they could fetch.

Friesen likens the operation underway to suddenly trying to host the Olympics with next to no notice.

“We’ve got over 3,500 volunteers. Close to 800 housing leads. A hun-dred and something employers wanting to off er fi rst jobs in Cana-da,” he said.

“We’ve got grand-mothers knitting toques and scarves and gloves,” Friesen said. “We had

a seven-year-old who gave his $2 allowance. A 13-year-old who gave his birthday party money – instead of col-lecting gift s he basically took money from his friends and gave it to us. It’s unbelievable.”

Th e Immigrant Ser-vices Society has helped recruit volunteer, housing and job off ers through its website (www.issbc.org) and it also takes fi nancial donations to help fund private refugee spon-sorships.

Th e B.C. Muslim Association is also or-ganizing assistance and collecting donations through its website at www.thebcma.com.

Material donations are welcomed by Ever-safe Ranch Outreach Society in Surrey, Langley and Delta

(eversaferanch.ca) and the Muslim Food Bank (muslimfoodbank.com).

About half of the initial 400 arrivals are expected to be privately sponsored and Friesen noted there is no cap on the number of those refugees – signifi cantly more could be brought to B.C. over and above the expected share of government-sponsored refugees, depending on the number and capaci-ty of B.C. sponsors.

Numerous religious groups – including Christians, Muslims, Jews and Sikhs – are gearing up to either directly sponsor refu-gees or otherwise assist them.

“It’s a proliferation of every faith, non-faith, businesses, law fi rms – it’s the whole gamut,” Friesen said.

A trickle of Syrian refugees have been ar-riving in B.C. already.

Eighteen families – 51 Syrians in total – have so far come to B.C. in 2015, all of them settling in either Surrey, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, New West-minster or Coquitlam.

“Th e majority don’t speak English. Th ey’re coming from larger urban centres. Some are survivors of torture,” Friesen said. “It’s a real mixed bag of careers. Th ere are medical students, university students, families with young kids, plumbers, carpenters, accoun-tants.”

Language training will be one of the big-gest challenges for the mainly Arabic speakers.

Friesen expects part of the $670 million Ot-tawa has budgeted over

four years to respond to the crisis to fl ow to B.C. to help reduce wait lists for English classes and daycare spaces.

Asked if he’s seen lo-cal examples of tensionsfrom people worried about security risks, Friesen said he’s had a few negative phone calls, but called them a tiny minority.

He calls it a ma-jor reversal in public sentiment from years of many Canadians sus-pecting every refugee was a “welfare-cheating bogus queue-jumping illegal” to a near-uni-versal desire to help.

“I’ve got self-infl icted bruises from constantly pinching myself and wondering ‘what planet am I on?’”

One change he still wants to see is an end to the federal policy of making incoming refu-gees repay loans – with interest – to cover their processing, medical checks and transporta-tion to Canada.

Ottawa has already exempted the Syrian refugees from that requirement.

Advocates say it’s a signifi cant hardship and undercuts eff orts tohelp refugees success-fully adapt to life in Canada because some may delay or forgo retraining to repay the loans.

“To now say Syrians don’t have the loan but all other refugees do makes no sense,” Friesen said. “It’s time to put the loan to bed. It does not align with the humanitarian objectives of this streamof immigration.”

Rent ‘crisis’ hits single moms hard: studyBy Jeff NagelYoung people and single

mothers are severely stretched to pay their rent in most of the Lower Main-land’s suburban commu-nities, according to a new study.

Th e updated Rental Hous-ing Index, fi rst released by the B.C. Non-Profi t Housing Association a year ago, now provides a more detailed look at diff erent demo-graphic groups of renters, based on 2011 census data.

In the Fraser Valley, one third of single moms who rent pay more than half of their income on rent and utilities. Th at climbs to 36 per cent in Surrey and 47 per cent in Coquitlam.

BCNPHA CEO Tony Roy

says that demonstrates an aff ordability “crisis” when more than half of income goes to paying the rent, rais-ing the risk of homelessness.

“Th ey are clearly the demographic group that is the most challenged with aff ordability,” Roy said of single moms. “It’s worst in Coquitlam, but it’s also extremely challenged in Maple Ridge, Langley and in Surrey.”

Roy said the revised index also shows immigrant households are twice as likely to be in overcrowded rental accommodations as the general popula-tion, although that may in part refl ect a preference for intergenerational living.

In Surrey, the index shows a quarter of young people renting are spending more than half their income on rent.

“You’re probably not left with very much,” Roy said.

“I think this is why, par-ticularly for young parents, the incidence of food bank use is just skyrocketing. Because people are spend-ing all their money to keep a roof over their heads.”

In Surrey, construction workers are the top renter group by occupation, which Roy said may come as a surprise.

“I think there’s a percep-tion that when we talk about renters, we’re talking about young people, maybe retail workers, maybe people working at Starbucks.”

Abbotsford, meanwhile, may have lower rents – the average cost there is $866 a month – but incomes are also lower.

Th at’s among the factors that result in Abbotsford ranking 502 out of 521 cities in the country on the rental housing index.

“Clearly there’s a rent-al housing aff ordability challenge in Abbotsford,”

he said.Th e worst ranking city in

Canada is Burnaby at num-ber 521 in the index, and Surrey, Vancouver, Rich-mond, New Westminster and Coquitlam are all barely above it in the bottom 10 nationally.

Roy said Canada essen-tially cut off federal support for social housing about 20 years ago and the communi-ties that have been growing fastest since then – Surrey, Coquitlam and others in the Fraser Valley – have grap-pled with the worst shortfall of purpose-built rentals as

a result.“Th ese communities

have grown up over the last 20 years without a federal partner,” he said.

“We need all levels of government to step up to the plate.” added Landlord-BC CEO David Hutniak. “We need tax incentives for the building of new pur-pose-built rental and for the renovation and enhance-ment of aging existing rental stock to off set high land and construction costs.”

Volleyball squads step onto the podiumBy Nick GreenizanCloverdale and South

Surrey schools will be well represented at pro-vincial high school vol-leyball championships, aft er securing a handful of podium spots at the Fraser Valleys.

Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and Clayton Heights Night Riders won the senior girls quad-A and AAA Fraser Valley ban-ners, respectively, while Earl Marriott saw its two senior sides fi nish on the podium as well, as the AAA senior boys and quad-A girls each fi nished third.

Fraser Heights Secondary rounded out the Surrey medal haul, as the north-end squad placed second at AAA senior boys champion-ships, losing in the fi nals to Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators.

At the girls AAAA tournament, Tweeds-muir – the top-seeded team – rolled to victory with a quarter-fi nal win over Walnut Grove and a semifi nal win against South Delta.

In the championship game Nov. 20 in South Delta, the Panthers edged Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids 3-2 (25-21, 17-25, 25-11, 19-25, 15-10) to win the banner.

Earl Marriott won the bronze-medal game 3-0 over Terry Fox Sec-ondary, and like their Cloverdale counterparts at Tweedsmuir, will be among the 16-team fi eld at AAAA provincials, which are set to run Dec. 2-5 at Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo.

“We fi nished third, and we qualifi ed for provincials, so I’ll take it,” said longtime EMS coach Mark Cassell.

Aft er receiving a bye into quarter-fi nals, third-seeded Marriott began Valleys with a win over Seaquam, before losing 3-0 to Riverside in semifi nals.

“We had a good start to the tournament, and I was pretty happy with how we fi nished – it was just a part in the middle where we struggled a bit,” Cassell said.

“Riverside took it to us a little bit, but that’s OK – those things hap-pen sometimes. We call it a temporary setback.”

Th e Mariners also placed third at last year’s Fraser Valley tourna-ment, which was won by Riverside; Tweedsmuir was second.

Earl Marriott has a long history of suc-cess at provincials but

Cassell says his team – which will likely enter the B.C. tournament seeded anywhere from seventh to ninth – rel-ishes playing the role of underdog this time

around.“We’re the underdogs,

you could call us that. Th e pressure will be on a lot of the other teams, I think,” he said.

Cassell’s squad played

shorthanded for much of the season due to “a rash of injuries” but the team is fi nally healthy, he said.

“We have everybody now… I still think we

can play better. I think we can improve on our spiking,” he said.

At the AAA level, Clayton Heights cap-tured the banner aft er a come-from-behind win over their rivals from Fraser Heights.

Th e Night Riders beat their north Surrey rivals 3-2, despite trailing 1-0 and 2-1 earlier in the fi nal.

Th e game mirrored a regular-season tilt between the two teams, Clayton Heights coach Gord Houchen said. In that contest, Clayton Heights also rallied for the win aft er trailing early.

“Th e girls have a lot of heart, and I think that developed right from that fi rst game

(against Fraser Heights),” Houchen explained.

“Th ey knew that they could come back from being down 1-0 or 2-0. Th ey showed that (resil-ience) al l year.”

Th e Night Riders have played in four of the last six Fraser Valley fi nals, winning twice.

Clayton Heights’ Liz Hicks was named tournament MVP, while teammates Veronica Plo-nis and Josi Delasi were named all-stars.

Clayton Heights will now move on to AAA provincials – as will Fra-ser Heights – which are set for Vernon, Dec. 3-5.

AAA boysAt the Fraser Val-

ley AAA senior boys

championships, Earl Marriott ended up third, aft er winning the bronze-medal match over Surrey Christian.

Th e Mariners – who had already qualifi ed for provincials earlier in the week, by virtue of a win in quarter-fi nals – de-feated Surrey Christian 3-1 Nov. 19 night.

Tyson Smith was named to the tourna-ment all-star team.

Marriott was bumped from gold-medal contention aft er a 3-0 loss to Fraser Heights in semifi nals held earlier.

EMS will now prepare for provincials Dec. 3-5 at the Langley Events Centre.

Physical Therapists use ultrasound waves to assist injury healing and repair of body tissue. This form of treatment was proven and has been in use since the 1940’s. The question of cat purring as a healing treatment has also been shown to be true. The vibration frequency of purring is in the same range as therapeutic healing used in human medicine. Research has suggested that having a purring cat as part of the family will also decrease stress, and lower blood pressure in the family members. Cats will purr when they need to repair a broken bone or damaged tissue. The next time you look at your cat remember they are a special family member with their ability to assist healing.

TRAVEL AGENTQ:

A:

Why are more people choosing to Cruise?1. They get to see more than one place you could be laying on a different beach every day seeing something new and different at every port. 2. A lot of times pricing is much better than just going to one resort and having so many cruise ports on the west coast gives us a good advantage. 3. Some people just do not like to fl y or wast time in airports and doing transfers wasting 1 day to get there and a day back.If you have not Cruised before this is the time to talk to a Travel Agent as there are so many great deals just starting up for our early short spring sailings, cheaper than a hotel and a night out on the town.You want Vegas, kids want Disney, wife wants San Fran and just relax I can put a great combo together that meets everyone needs at a great price makes a great Xmas or Valentines gift for anyone so get the family or all your friends together and lets rock the boat LOL.

What should I have on hand during the flu season?

Getting the flu shot is the most effective way of preventing the flu illness. Homeopathic medicines can be used to complement the flu shot. A weekly dose of Influenzinum 9ch and a weekly dose of Thymuline 9ch on a different day of the week may enhance the protection. If you still get sick, then PASCOLEUCYN® can be used to relieve symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore throat, cough and fever. This homeopathic formula can be used even in children. An herbal option is SAMBUCUS, a black elderberry preparation that can reduce the duration and severity of flu symptoms.

Why should I use my dental plan benefits before the end of the year? Many people don’t realize just how expensive dental treatments can be. It just makes good sense to get your families dental cleanings or fillings done before the end of the year, so your money is not going down the drain. This way you will have your full benefit dollars available to you next year, for whatever comes up. Your employer gives you benefits as part of your pay.

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Q:

A:

Recent news headlines say that processed meat and red meat increase bowel cancer risk. Should I be worried?Processed meat has been classifi ed as a ‘defi nite’ cause of cancer, and red meat as a ‘probable’ cause. Breakdown products of red meat (N-nitroso compounds), as well as nitrites added to processed meat, may lead to cancer. High temperature cooking (grilling, barbequing) may also increase cancer risk. Meat is just one factor in bowel cancer risk, and the amount consumed affects risk. It is also important to consider each individual’s risk, including family history, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, weight management, and dietary factors such as vegetable and fruit intake. Overall, moderation is key: cutting down on meat, rather than eliminating it completely, makes sense for most people.

Yes, for sure. Although there are fewer buyers around at Christmas time, the buyers who are looking are very serious or they would have better things to do this time of year. There is less inventory for buyers to choose from so a seller has less competition. I have had my very best sales right around Christmas. Beat the spring rush.

Almost any age! For preschool children apositive, fun learning environment balanced with structure and discipline builds confidence, focus and concentration for a success in the upcoming school years. The physical training ads development of coordination, strength, and flexibility and provides an outlet for some of that excess energy.For older children the element of competition motivates them to reach their personal best. Each student achieves successes such as learning a new move, improving a technique, breaking a board or earning a new belt rank which helps build confidence on their path toward larger goals. this confidence provides success in other areas such as school or other sports.Adults find that Martial Arts is excellent for fitness, stress relief, confidence and is lots of fun.

DENTURIST

Q:

A:

Why should your missing teeth be replaced?Your teeth play an important role and even one missing tooth can have a negative impact on your remaining teeth and oral health. When a tooth is missing the healthy adjacent teeth tend to tilt, rotate and shift affecting how your upper and lower teeth meet. This can cause problems when chewing and has an impact on surrounding muscles and your jaw joints.

Partial dentures can be a great solution to replace teeth by:

• preserving the natural placement of your existing teeth

• preventing your remaining teeth from tilting and moving

• preventing further damage to your remaining teeth

• restoring your smile and improving speech

• restoring your ability to eat confi dently and effi ciently!

New anti-gang tactics to go B.C.-wideBy Jeff NagelEmerging police

tactics to disrupt gangs that have helped fi ght violent crime in the Lower Mainland will be applied province-wide.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said

mandatory provincial standards are being developed that will require all police forces and partner agencies to work together under an anti-gang policing model that targets pro-lifi c high-risk off enders.

It’s been evolving

for about three years but top Mounties say the goal is to ensure the same methods of intelligence sharing and anti-gang enforcement are used across the province, so a Lower Mainland gang meets the same resistance

when it tries to stretch its tentacles out to northeastern B.C. or the Okanagan.

“My goal is to attack them where they are in the northeast part of the province, in the centre of the province and in the Lower Main-land simultaneously,” RCMP E Division Asst. Comm. Wayne Rideout explained.

Th e predictive intel-ligence-driven model helps offi cers make ar-rests and seize weapons.

But he said the new model can also shape police strategy in dealing with specifi c criminals by helping offi cers determine which ones may be ready to exit gang life as well as those who are junior members now but destined to become leaders.

“We want to disrupt their current trajectory and we want to disrupt them years before they achieve power and infl uence,” Rideout said, describing it as a long-term “campaign

approach” to tackling gangs.

Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of the Com-bined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said the model proved its value earlier this year when Surrey, Delta and Abbotsford police worked together to counter street-level gangs that were on a public shooting spree in

Surrey and Delta.“Th ese collaborative

eff orts resulted in over 5,000 people being checked, 700 people being arrested or de-tained, along with the seizure of 22 fi rearms and 134 vehicles,” Hackett said.

Charges were laid against several suspects, including one who police allege handed a

loaded gun to a youth to hide for him.

Just one incident has been linked to those warring Surrey-Delta crime groups since mid-June, Hackett said, aft er more than 30 pub-lic shooting incidents in the spring.

NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth questioned why an enforced standard from the province is neces-sary to get police agen-cies to fully cooperate.

“Most people would reasonably expect it would already be taking place,” he said.

Anton denied there is any lack of cooperation between police forces that has prompted the mandatory standard, insisting B.C. forces have better coordina-tion than any other jurisdiction.

She said police so far have tended to use community-specifi c ap-proaches that can vary.

“What we are doing now is taking the les-sons learned from best practices developed with our provincial anti-gang unit, and sharing that learning and those standards with police around B.C. so that everyone has access to the same eff ective approaches.”

All police forces in B.C. are to adopt the new standards, as are other agencies such as sheriff s, corrections offi cers and the Canada Border Service Agency.

Tax credit urged to spur food donations By Jeff NagelTh e chair of Food

Banks BC is backing a proposal to create a federal tax break that encourages businesses to donate more food to local charities.

Marilyn Herrmann, who is also executive director of the Surrey Food Bank Society, said there are “endless” amounts of usable food that could be retrieved from restaurants, gro-cers and other suppli-ers that now throw it out.

Th e National Zero Waste Council propos-es the federal govern-ment create a new tax credit for businesses linked to the fair market value of food they donate to charities such as food banks, shelters and soup kitchens.

Herrmann said while many businesses already strive to donate usable food, such an incentive could prod others to both save money and help put more unused food to good use.

“It’s not even waste, it’s perfectly good food,” Herrmann said. “Something that may just be undersized according to a grocery

chain’s standard doesn’t mean it’s bad food.”

Lower Mainland food banks regularly retrieve huge skids of food that producers or retailers have been un-able to sell fast enough.

“Sometimes we come back with incredible donations,” Herrmann said, adding dairy producers occasionally overproduce yogurt and donate large vol-umes that are too close to their expiry dates.

It’s a retail reality that consumers won’t buy those products.

“People are so hung up on these best before dates that as soon as it hits the day, they just throw it out without even checking the quality of the product,” Herrmann said.

A report by the National Zero Waste Council doesn’t estimate how much lost tax revenue a new credit might cost Ottawa.

But it projects a range of benefi ts that

would result from a more effi cient food system.

One of those benefi ts would be less organic waste going into land-fi lls. Metro Vancouver estimates the drop in garbage resulting from the tax credit would mean reduced green-house gas emissions equivalent to taking 275,000 cars off the road.

BC Restaurant and Foodservice Associa-tion President Ian Tos-tenson said the biggest worry for restaurateurs donating food to char-ities is ensuring it stays food safe and doesn’t make anyone sick.

“If they can get through the issues of food safety and sanitation, I think it’s a great idea,” Tostenson said. “I don’t think business even needs a tax incentive to do it. I think they’d just do it if they can do it in a way that doesn’t create liability.”

Other critics have suggested the tax break could lead to business-es dumping unusable food on food banks – increasing their dispos-al costs.

“Th ere defi nitely are challenges to this, no

question,” Herrmann said. “You have to have the capacity to handle the volumes of food that are being off ered to you.”

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro’s Zero Waste Committee, said the tax credit would be worthwhile, even if it’s not a silver bullet curing food waste.

“Our hope is this would lead to a far big-ger uptake and get a lot of that edible food into the hands of charities that can divide it up and use it eff ectively.”

An estimated 170,000 tonnes of ed-ible food – equivalent to 300 million meals – ends up in Canadian landfi lls every year.

In monetary terms, that’s an estimated $31 to $107 billion of waste in the production, shipping and fair mar-ket value of the food.

Meanwhile, Herr-mann and Food Banks BC are pressing the

B.C. Liberals to keep a promise they made in the 2013 election campaign.

Th e party’s platform committed the pro-

vincial government to “give growers a tax credit of 25 per cent of the wholesale value of food donated to a food bank.”

Herrmann said that would be a useful in-centive that both helps farmers and encour-ages them to donate produce and fruit that

could help feed the needy.

Undersized apples that are good but too small for retailers are a prime example of what

might be contributed in larger volumes in-stead of being dumped by the truckload.
