And now the sorting begins...

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOWork party: members of Clayton Heights Secondary’s student council sorted thousands of donations on Tuesday.

By Jennifer LangTh anks to steady support from the

community, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program is on target to meet this year’s demand.

“We have 240 applications this year,” program lead Scott Napier said earlier this week, as an army of volunteers worked to sort and assemble food ham-pers in time for tomor-row’s pick up deadline.

As the number of appli-cants climbs support from volunteers and donors has also kept pace.

Th e initiative runs through the combined eff orts of a whole host of local individuals and groups.

Local churches, three high schools – Fleetwood Secondary, Clayton Heights and Lord Tweedsmuir Sec-ondary – fi ve elementary schools, plus many businesses and organizations all work together.

Th e program collects and distrib-utes tens of thousands of dollars in

donations of food, gift items, toys and cash as hampers for families and indi-viduals in the Cloverdale area.

Tomorrow recipients come to the warehouse at Pacifi c Community Church to pick up hampers fi lled with fresh vegetables and fruit, a turkey or

a ham, plus canned goods like tuna, peanut butter and kitchen staples like fl our and sugar.

Th e hampers contain a lot more than just a day’s Christmas sup-plies – many items last weeks. Some contain toys and gift s for families

with children or teenagers. Clothing, food gift certifi cates and personal care items are included as well.

“Th e food drive seems to be going really well this year,” he said, adding volunteer inquiries and cash dona-tions were also steady.

Napier says there’s always a tremen-dous response from local schools, particularly Clayton Heights Second-

More money for horse racingBy Jeff NagelTh e province is injecting more gambling

profi ts back into B.C.’s horse racing indus-try.

Victoria previously gave out allocations to support and help run both standardbred and thoroughbred racing based on a share of revenues generated.

But with revenue dropping, the operat-ing and aid dollars were also set to dwin-dle, so the province has instead increased its grant to a fi xed amount of $10 million per year.

Th e move will provide stability and cer-tainty in terms of government support, according to a Dec. 10 letter from Derek

Sturko, assistant deputy minister at the province’s Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch and chair of the B.C. Horse Racing Industry Management Commit-tee.

Between the provincial grant and wagering profi ts, the indus-try will have $48 million to op-erate from the industry revenue fund in 2011, up from $44.9 mil-lion this year.

More money will go into race purses as well as a new $800,000 advertising and marketing fund.

Sturko cited the “diffi cult fi nancial cir-cumstances in which the industry fi nds it-

self and the signifi cant decline inrevenue that was experienced in2010” for the policy change.

Howard Blank, vice-presidentof Great Canadian Gaming Corp.,which operates Fraser Downs,welcomed the new marketingmoney.

“We’re going to be quite cre-ative in how we use that,” he said,adding the province’s commit-ment is positive.

“It’s a guaranteed revenue stream,”Blank said. “We’re going to take that tooland work together with the horsemen on

ary School.Th is year’s food drive at

Clayton Heights wrapped up Tuesday, when members of student council spent the day sorting donations – some 6,500 individual food items in all, plus adding up about $1,700 in cash.

Sixty large collection box-es were placed throughout the school Dec. 1 to 14, and most were full by the end of the school’s 2010 food drive for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program.

“It’s been a whole day at this,” student council repre-sentative Nalin Dhillon said, looking around the staff room, where order slowly replaced chaos as items were dumped out, sorted, then re-packed into boxes organized by their contents.

Clayton Heights consis-tently leads the pack in terms of school food drives for the program, which serves resi-dents between 88 Avenue and 32 Avenue and from 196 Street to 152 Street.

It’s now become a proud tradition to uphold, teacher sponsor Marc England said.

“Th is is what we do well,” he said.

Th e student leadership team at Hazelgrove Elemen-tary, one of Cloverdale’s new-

est schools, was giving daily updates on its food drive for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program.

For the second year in a row, the Hazelgrove’s student leadership team – comprised of Grades 6s and 7s – helped organize the food drive, issu-ing a challenge to each class to see which could bring in the most donations.

Last year the school raised just under 3,000 items for the program. By Monday’s tally, Hazelgrove students had col-lected 2,984 food, clothing, household items and toys.

It was an amazing moun-tain of donations that spilled out into the foyer next to the school’s offi ce.

“We started with 10 boxes

and we had to call them aft ertwo days and say our boxesare overfl owing,” says JillPayne, a Grade 1 instructorwho is the leadership clubsponsor along with colleagueKeeley Yee.

Th eir reinforcement boxesquickly fi lled, too. Payne saidone morning, a boy broughtin 41 items just to boost hisclassroom’s standings.

“Th e thing that the kidsreally like about it is that ithelps people directly in theirarea,” she said.– Pick up is between 10 a.m. and 2p.m. at Pacifi c Community Church,5337 180 Street. Hot dogs andrefreshments will be available.Recipients are reminded to bringphoto ID and proof of address.

Now in its 19th year, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program (CCHP) has been providing local families in need with hampers of food, gifts and toys. Last year alone over 250 families and individu-als experienced just that little bit of joy that they needed to get them through the holiday season.

This program is a combined effort between many local churches, schools, businesses and public organizations. The program is grow-ing each year and we would appreciate your involvement with do-nations of food, cash, new merchandise and/or toys. No donation is too big or too small – it all adds up.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOThe lights are on – really on – at the home of Cloverdale’s Kinna family (Jay, Diane, Wyatt and Nash). For the past 14 years, the Kinnas have decorated their home at Christmas in aid of a charitable cause. They live at 16956 60A Avenue (an incorrect address appeared in last week’s Reporter). The display runs to Jan. 2. All donations will go towards Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, through the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation.

MOBILE LISTINGSHomeLife Benchmark Realty in Cloverdale

launched a new, mobile MLS search service last week.

Prices, photos and property info for MLS listings are now available on mobile devices by texting 4Sale to 65656 on a Smartphone.

It’s a free service that will change the way real es-tate agents and home buyers connect, says Colton Hope, promoter for HomeLife’s new service.

“Say you’re driving by a home with a ‘For Sale’

sign out front,” Hope said. “You can use this tool to fi nd the details you need to know.”

Th e mobile site off ers GPS locators, keyword searches and property searches for as detailed an area as a .5 km radius for MLS properties.

CORRECTIONListen, and now you can look, too. Th e correct

address for the Listen to the Lights Christmas dis-play in Langley is 4732 207A Street. Th anks to one of our alert readers for pointing out the error.

With the busy Christmas shopping season in full swing, the Surrey RCMP’s District 4 offi ce (Cloverdale/Port Kells) reminds local businesses to keep vigilant against skim-ming devices.

Businesses should be performing daily visual checks of any ATMs and pin pads at their establishments as part of their morn-ing routine in order to detect any unauthor-ized equipment or tampering.

Th e warning comes because these skim-

ming devices continue to be found through-out the Lower Mainland.

At one bank branch in Coquitlam, fraud-sters had installed a skimming device in the card entry slot of an ATM machine and had placed a camera over the top of the keypad.

A checklist of what to look for is available by calling Carrie Chattell, Crime Prevention Programs Coordinator, at 604-502-6266.

District 4’s November Business Link newsletter warned businesses they’re poten-

tially vulnerable to disruptions in telephone service lasting for days due to copper wire theft from telephone poles on city streets.

Brazen thieves disguised as legitimate re-pair crews will “work” during the middle of the day, the warning says. Anyone noticing someone working on telephone poles out-side their business should take a closer look to ensure workers are legitimate.

To the editor;

Re: “Yes to a new Legion”, Dec. 3[In] Reference to the Reporter article in

the Dec. 3, 2010 issue headlined ‘Yes to a new Legion’, that I think you might con-sider correcting.

Firstly, the RCL Branch 6 has been char-tered and in Cloverdale since March 19, 1927 or 83 years, and in its present location

since April 17, 1948 or 62 years.Secondly, the vote taken to go for a new

legion was two-thirds of paid membership present at the meeting, not two-thirds of membership overall.

Thirdly, I understand the new Legion will front on 57 Avenue not 57 A as the reference under the picture in the Reporter states.

Just a note I may have missed at the meet-ing and has nothing to do with the Legion,

but it appears if they extend 57A Avenuefrom 176 Street then they would have toremove Hawthorne Square for a new streetand this would lead right into or throughthe new building located in drawings onthat site.

A few facts about the Legion

To the editor;

While I search and search the news media in regards to BC Hydro’s intent to increase resi-dential electricity rates by 50 per cent by the end of 2015 I fi nd ab-solutely naught.

It seems that Gordon Camp-bell’s Liberals, happy to have received, and to again receive,

likely-generous elec-tion-campaign dona-tions from numero uno on their political list (i.e., the big-profi t big companies), are going to make those least able to pay very large BC Hydro rate increases, pay the whole humongous rate increase.

Meanwhile, the Liberals turn a

corrupt blind eye to those most able to pay – i.e., the rich pay notta!

I guess the Lib-erals are confi dent that they’ll accom-

plish this socially immoral act as long as the mainstream news media conveniently, though still conspicuously, remain silent on

this blatant injustice.“But the government has al-

ready made rate-payment agree-ments with the companies,” onesenior editor of a Vancouvernewspaper told me. Well, then,re-negotiate – and if they threatento ‘take our business elsewhere,’let them be damned!

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOSanta and Mrs. Claus (Anita Lewis) joined a crew of volunteers at Breakfast with Santa at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6. About 90 children and 150 parents and grandparents turned out to the Cloverdale Legion’s annual event.

By Brenda AndersonReaction is mixed among business

owners who could potentially be af-fected by the construction of three new railway overpasses and feeder routes along the Surrey-Langley border.

Th e so-called Combo-Pack of the $300 million Roberts Bank Rail Cor-ridor Program includes nine road-rail projects between Delta and Langley by 2014. Eight are overpass projects and one is a railway siding project.

Of the three overpass projects on the Surrey-Langley border, the lon-gest will be built along 196 Street, crossing the Langley Bypass in a de-veloped business area with the other two on 192 street and 54 Avenue.

Dan Springman, owner of Spring-man’s Saab, learned through the grapevine about plans to build the 196 Street overpass directly above his car dealership.

“I haven’t seen the actual drawings,” he said. “I found out through a friend who has an engineering company that it’s going to be on top of me.”

He has plenty of questions and so far very few answers.

“How high will it be, where does it go? We don’t know anything. No one’s told me,” he said.

“I’m concerned because we have no knowledge of it, and I think it will have a huge eff ect on us.”

Springman also wonders what will happen with respect to a creek that runs behind his dealership.

When he bought the property in 1997, he wanted to have a culvert in-stalled, but his application was denied by the DFO.

Now that there are plans for major construction in the area, he wonders how the issue of the creek will be ad-dressed.

“We weren’t allowed to put in a cul-vert, and then these guys come along, and who knows what they can do?”

Across the Bypass, Doug Seal, man-ager of Willowbrook Chrysler, has some concerns about the project as well.

“From a personal, selfi sh point

of view, I can’t see it doing anything good for my business,” he said, react-ing to the design on the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor website, “but I under-stand they can’t stop the project for a neighbour who’s unhappy.”

He’s also concerned with the lack of notice he’s received from the people in charge of the project.

“It seems to have popped up by sur-prise. You’d think somebody would stop by and say ‘we’re doing this mas-sive development right by your prop-erty.’”

And he’s concerned the overpass could create further backups on an already-congested road.

Aly Sunderji, owner of Samz Pub at the corner of 56 Avenue and the 196 Street right of way, sees some poten-tial benefi t in the project, which will include developing what is now a gravel lane into a two-lane road, south to 54 Avenue, and the installation of a traffi c signal at the corner of 196 Street and 56 Avenue.

He learned about the plans through a business associate, but the news didn’t come as a complete surprise.

“We always knew it would be a road someday,” he said.

Th e opening up of 196 Street will create more traffi c and potentially more exposure for his pub, Sunderji believes.

However, it will also mean that Samz will lose the overfl ow parking spaces along the lane immediately east of the building – property Sun-derji currently leases from the City of Surrey. But he said that with the new drinking and driving laws in eff ect, he doesn’t need to supply as much park-ing as he once did.

Th e other benefi t of the develop-ment Sunderji sees is the removal of an undesirable element – “crackheads and druggies” – who hang around the wooded gravel right-of-way next to his pub.

“It will be nice to get rid of that,” he said.

Racetracks set to turn a profi tFrom page one

By Jennifer LangPlans are underway to create a new,

inside passing lane for harness racing at Fraser Downs. Proponents say will make races more exciting to watch and bet on.

A passing lane allows horses that are blocked in an opportunity to break out from behind the leaders during the fi nal stretch.

“It’s an issue our horsemen have been supporting and we’re going forward with a plan,” director of racing Jackson Wittup said. “It would give more horses a shot at winning.”

It’s a return to form for the historic har-ness racing facility, which originally opened

as a half-mile track under the name Clover-dale Raceway.

When the racetrack expanded to a fi ve-eighths of a mile oval in 1996, it lost the passing lane, Dan Jukich, simulcast direc-tor at Fraser Downs, said.

Th e plan is to have the new, inside pass-ing lane in place for the Jan. 7 races – the start of the 2011 schedule.

“Th e horsemen wanted it, and we’re go-ing to put it in,” he said.

A designated pylon is set up at the start of the stretch, indicating the beginning of the inside passing lane. Nobody can go inside until the fi nal lap, and there are strict rules drivers must follow.

When the inside lane is in place, horseswill be able to move to the inside lane andhave a better opportunity to win.

“It’s going to make the races more excit-ing. Th ere will be a better fi nish,” Jukichsaid. “Now, when they get boxed in they’vegot no place to go.”

Th e passing lane will be in place in timefor the Western Regional Driving Champi-onships Saturday, Feb. 26 at Fraser Downs.

Th e regionals are expected to draw driv-ers and horses from Manitoba, Saskatch-ewan, Alberta and B.C. and decide whichdecide two winners go onto the nationalsat Red Shores Racetrack and Casino inCharlottetown, PEI, on May 7.

Horsemen get their inside track

providing an outstanding product to the public.”Blank said there have been no new developments

on talk of potentially consolidating standard-bred and thoroughbred racing at a single talk and stressed the fi nances are not strong.

“Th e industry is still suff ering sharp declines,” Blank said. “Th ere is a lot of work that needs to be done in order to continue to try to stabilize and hopefully grow the industry.”

Despite the challenges, Great Canadian Gaming is still on track to once again turn in a profi t at its two B.C. racetracks for 2010.

Th e company last month reported third-quarter pre-tax profi ts of $3.4 million at Fraser Downs and Hastings Park’s combined operations, including the casino gambling and hospitality sales.

Th at was down only marginally from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 despite an 18 per cent drop in revenues at the two outlets, thanks to sig-nifi cant cost cutting.

Th e third quarter report shows racetrack rev-enues at Fraser Downs/Hastings were down 35 per cent to $3.9 million, while casino gaming revenues held almost steady at $4.9 million.

Th e third quarter report primarily blames the revenue drops on an accounting change regarding the company’s stake in TBC Teletheatre BC.

Th e two B.C. “racinos” now show pre-tax profi t of

$9.1 million for the fi rst nine months of 2010, com-pared to $10 million for the same period of 2009.

Doug McCallum, new CEO of Harness RacingBC, said the association is pleased with the commit-ment of the government to increase the allocationfor the 2011 season.

“Th e new marketing money is also welcomed topromote and build the industry,” he said.

Th e future of the 2011 season at Fraser Downshad been uncertain weeks into the current fallseason. In August, the number of upcoming racedates were cut by 30 per cent.

Th e 2011 season was temporarily in limbo whilethe B.C. Horse Racing Management Committeeand Great Canadian Gaming Corp. reviewed B.C.’sthoroughbred and standardbred racing industries.Discussions have been aimed at balancing declin-ing revenues and devising a long-term vision.

But an agreement reached between Great Ca-nadian and Harness Racing B.C. guarantees atleast 70 racing dates in the 2011 schedule, withthe promise of 12 additional dates that would beadded next fall (October to December) providedperformance-based criteria are met: namely morebets – and bigger races, with more horses fromB.C.

Th e 2011 thoroughbred season had also beenunder consideration, Sturko’s letter said.

Drivers aren’t getting the message that driving recklessly or while under the infl uence of alcohol isn’t accept-able.

Th at’s according to RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont, who released the latest fi gures from a Lower Mainland-wide Counterattack initiative.

Between Dec. 3 and 6, 394 tickets were handed out for speeding, includ-ing 17 for excessive speeding that re-sulted in vehicles being impounded.

Th ere were 165 seatbelt infractions during a time when there’s a slight up-tick in the number of seatbelt-related deaths.

“Approximately 40 per cent of our

fatalities are the the result of not wear-ing a seatbelt or using a child restraint device,” he said.

Some 66 drivers were handed pro-hibitions or suspensions for driving while impaired. Of those, 24 drivers received three-day prohibitions, 24 received 90-day prohibitions, three were charged criminally with im-paired driving.

During enforcement at intersec-tions, 114 tickets were issued for a variety of infractions, including dis-obeying traffi c lights, failing to stop, as well as left and right turn infrac-tions.

Teaching Safe Drivers of The Future

www.galaxydrivingschool.comTel: 778-888-4983

What can I expect on a road test? Your Class 7N or Class 5 road test will be conducted by an ICBC examiner for approximately 30 minutes. The test will begin with a check of your vehicle’s safety features. Once on the road, the test will include right and left turns, through-intersections, general driving and vehicle handling. You will be evaluated on your ability to successfully apply these five basic skills:1. Communication (proper use of signalling before turns and manoeuvres) 2. Steering (no palming or underhand turning) 3. Speed (keep to posted speeds and watch for playgrounds and school zones)4. Space (proper lane and stop position, understanding of right-of-ways i.e. 4-way stops)5. Observation (shoulder checking into the blind spot before turning right and changing lanes) The Class 7N test (permitted after one year of the learner stage) includes manoeuvres such as parallel parking, curb and hill pullovers, and reverse stall parking. The Class 5 test (permitted after two years of safe driving in the novice stage) has less manoeuvres but requires driving on a 70 km/h+ highway and a running commentary to point out perceived road hazards. We welcome the opportunity to teach you safe driving techniques in a relaxed and friendly environment and assist you on your road to success!

I put Kaperski in my pc and now my computer is so bogged down I can’t use my computer properly.This does happen. The anti-virus program will use up your valuable CPU or you could have a pre-existing virus. You can test and see how much of your CPU Kaperski is using. If this is the problem uninstall and use a different anti-virus program such as Trend Micro’s 2011 Maximum Security.Do you still pick up and deliver for free?Yes!If I have you build a computer for me do you transfer over all my data and hardware as well?Yes, we will transfer your emails, data, pictures and hardware too.Will it cost me anything to transfer my data?Minimal Can I get a discount for trading in my old computer for a new PC?Most of the time yes, depending on your computer. Some are too old and we recycle them.I need an OS for maximum gaming“Supposed reduced memory footprint of the operating system”. If you have a legal copy of Windows XP, just get Tiny XP Beast Edition. Only takes around 40 MB of RAM, and has tons of tweaks that help improve gaming. There’s a lot of stuff taken out, but most of it can be easily replaced.

I send resume after resume but I can’t get an interview. What am I doing wrong?

Here are three of the more common issues and the fixes:1) Your resume is not showcasing your skills and experience they way it should. Call us to create aprofessional resume for you. Have that resume stand out amongst all the others. There is a cost involved, but what is the cost to you of not getting the interview?2) You are applying to jobs you really are not qualified for.This is the biggest one, I see it every day. I can not tell you how frustrated my applicant screeners get over people sending in resumes for jobs that they have no businessapplying to. You are not doing yourself any favours. We aresure many of you can do the job one day, that you are aquick learner, but employers want someone to come in and hit the ground running. Please make sure you reallyhave the listed requirements for the role.3) The people that display constant growth and learning about their chosen profession are getting the interview ahead of you. It may be time to upgrade your skills.Hang tight, there is a great job for everyone out there. YYours will come.

“Thinking of buying or selling? Call The Lunders today”

Should I list my home during the holidays?10 reasons why you should list your home during the holidays:1. Most December and early January buyers are particularly serious and very likely facing some sort of deadline.2. January is the biggest transfer month of the year and job transferee’s use the holidays to house hunt.3. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons. Investors usually want to close by year-end for tax purposes.4. Most sellers wait until spring or summer to list their home. This means that during the winter months your property will have far less competition versus any other time of the year.5. Homes show well when decorated for the holidays creating a sense of family and people are much more emotionally drawn to the house, emotion sells.6. Many people take vacation around the holidays allowing more time to look for a home.7. Remodelling, decorating, appliance installation and other services are more available and at less of a premium.8. There is plenty of mortgage money available for buyers.9. Lenders aren’t as busy and can process mortgage loans faster.10. Showings will be fewer and less intrusive, but more likely to be fruitful with motivated, qualified buyers.

Q I have pain above my shoulder and in my upper arm. My doctor says that the pain is referred from my neck. What does this mean?

The nerves that supply the arm and shoulder arise from the neck. Any irritation to the nerves in the form of swelling, inflammation or increased pressure can cause pain in the region of the arm/shoulder supplied by the respective nerves. Management of this condition should focus on the following. Ultrasound, electromagnetic therapy and laser are used to decrease pain and inflammation. Ice the back of the neck for 10-15minutes 2-3x day. Spinal mobilization, massage, trigger point therapy and manual release techniques are used to relieve muscle tension and to regain mobility and spinal alignment. Education and posture correction play an important role in restoring function and preventing recurrence of injury. Keep your neck in the midline position. Avoid working, watching T.V and speaking on the phone with your neck in a rotated and tilted position. When lying down ensure that your neck is adequately supported by pillows which keep your neck in line with the centre of your chest. A gradual core stability program will help to regain postural stability in the neck, back and shoulder. A physiotherapy assessment will help to identify the cause of injury and a comprehensive treatment program can help to relieve the pain.
