Flea market turns page

By Jennifer LangIt’s the end of an era – and the start of

a whole new chapter for the Cloverdale Flea Market, a Sunday tradition for bar-gain hunters more than 30 years.

Th e fl ea market will undergo a change of management at the end of this month, when the existing operator will be stepping down, said Dave Melenchuk, general manager of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Asso-ciation, which operates the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

Th e market will continue to operate without interrup-tion as the new, as-yet un-named operator takes over, Melenchuk said, adding he expected the new lease to be signed this week.

Contrary to the sign erected on the fairgrounds last weekend that said the fl ea market was closing “for-ever” Nov. 27 aft er 34 years in operation, “We will be open,” Melenchuk said. “It will be business as usual.”

Visitors will notice some changes dur-ing the transition – the market will be evolving and expanding in the new year

– but existing vendors “will be safe,” Me-lenchuk said. “Th ey’ll all have a place to sell.”

Th e association has been trying to ex-pand and enhance the long-running fl ea market, which boasts a weekly attendance of 3,000 to 5,000, in order to appeal to a

wider customer base.In the spring, the asso-

ciation issued a request for proposals from qualifi ed op-erators interested assuming operation, marketing and management of a new, en-hanced weekend market on the site.

A number of proposals came in, but in the end – and following a petition circu-lated by some of the vendors on site – the association de-cided to work with the exist-

ing operator, whose lease expired some time ago.

But the promises made six months ago haven’t transpired, and the operator has given his notice, saying he’ll be out on Nov. 27, Melenchuk said.

“They realize there needs to be a bit of a

fresh look...”

Cenotaph celebrates 90th anniversaryBy Jennifer LangOn Remembrance Day hundreds will

gather at the Surrey War Memorial in Cloverdale to honour service men and women who have given their lives serv-ing their country during confl icts and peacetime.

Th is year marks a special anniversary in Cloverdale, site of Surrey’s First World War cenotaph and war memorial.

Th e original granite cenotaph, built in

1921 by a Surrey municipal crew from B.C. granite, is 90 years old this year.

It was dedicated on Aug. 4, 1921, and was meant to honour those who “fell in the Great War, 1914-1918.”

A crowd of more than 1,500 people turned out for the monument’s unveiling in May 22, 1921 – a gloriously sunny day, a newspaper called the British Colum-bian noted approvingly.

Everyone stood as the Salvation Army

band led a parade of veterans, boy scouts and school children to the site of the memorial.

A cenotaph is a tomb or monument honouring those whose remains lie else-where.

Th e names of 23 “Surrey boys, with the place at which they gave up their lives,” were inscribed in the granite, the newspaper reported. “It is probable that more will be added to the list.”

On top of the memorial was a Ger-man fi eld gun (known as a “whizz-bang”among the boys,) that had been capturedby the Canadian 47th Battalion on Sept.27, 1918. (It was removed and melted forscrap at the start of the Second WorldWar, along with a second German gunthat had stood on the other side of themunicipal hall).

Parents and relatives were joined bySoldier atop the cenotaph.

Hamper helpers

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOTalk about setting a good example. In just two short weeks, the student leadership team at George Greenaway Elementary helped the school collect more than 900 food items for the Clover-dale Christmas Hamper program. They’ve had to ask for more donation boxes at the school.

Over the past two Sundays, Melenchuk has spoken with a lot of the vendors, explain-ing the changes in store, and emphasizing that the fl ea market is not closing down.

“Th ey’re excited,” he said. “Th ey realize there needs to be a bit of a fresh look.”

Th e hope is to build on the existing vendors and add new attrac-tions, including enter-tainment, food, buskers and even the occasional auction in order to draw more customers.

“Th e ultimate goal is to bring more people to the market,” Melenchuk said.

Th e name of the new operator hadn’t been announced by press time, but Melenchuk did reveal that the op-erator brings “a lifetime of experience” in the business.

CANADIAN REFORMED CHURCH OF CLOVERDALE17473 – 60th Avenue, Surrey • www.cloverdalecanrc.org

Remembering and the Rule of LawThe sudden and violent end to the life of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi reminded

me of the wisdom of Thomas Hobbes. He observed that without the rule of law, without the support of a strong commitment to law and order, life for mankind would be “nasty, brutish, and short.” Considering the examples we have witnessed this year in Vancouver, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere, we can only accept that Hobbes got it right even though he lived 400 years ago.

As we approach November 11 and the annual ceremonies of remembrance this year, let’s remember to be thankful for the rule of law. Thousands of Canadian servicemen have given their lives fi ghting in Europe to preserve our freedoms. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have made sacrifi ces to build a society that respects freedom and gives offenders due process and equality before the law. Canadian police offi cers and servicemen and women continue to make daily sacrifi ces to protect our lives and property. Let’s be aware that the Law, peace and freedom are not accidents of history; they are gifts from God himself, just as life is a gift from God.

Martin Luther said, “God wants to teach man to know himself through the Law. He wants him to see how false and unjust his heart is, how far he still is from God, and how entirely impotent his nature is...” If you feel the need to thank God for law, peace and free-dom as much as I do, then take the time to approach Him and thank Him today. Let’s take the time to remember those who sacrifi ced their lives on Remembrance Day. Our God is Almighty and well able to comfort those who remember and grieve. Join us in worshiping Him.

OpinionsCOMMUNITY CALENDAR

By Boaz JosephIn his own private way, an old

veteran just wants to be forgot-ten.

While Canada remembers its war and peacekeeping veterans and the fallen on Remembrance Day, for Louis, the date bears no signifi cance, other than his wed-ding anniversary. As of tomorrow (Friday), he’s spent 70 years with wife Stella.

Th ey’re both 91, quietly fading away in North Surrey.

Th ey don’t bother anyone, and they don’t want attention.

For Louis, being called a Sec-ond World War veteran brings out a defi ant rejection of any rec-ognition the country could give him.

Th e man has never worn any of his six medals, never gone back to the old battlefi elds and never attended a military reunion of any kind.

Louis – who more than 60 years ago spent weeks on rain-

soaked Vancouver Island guard-ing against a feared Japanese in-vasion with an obsolete Ross rifl e and no ammunition, who waded into “water up to your neck” at 3 a.m. during the invasion of Sicily, and who repaired broken-down Churchill Tanks with a welding torch near Arnhem, Holland – saw no heroism in the war.

Just soldiers, tired, cold, hungry and in physical danger.

“How many gen-erals got killed?” he asks at his kitchen table, a cane at his side.

Louis recalls the poor-quality “free” cigarettes given to troops, the supposedly sunk-in-the-Atlantic parcel shipments from home ending up in British hands, and how visiting dignitaries at the time gave no respect or thanks to the men on the front lines.

Indeed, his wedding, which took place before he left the coun-try, was on Nov. 11, 1941 during

a short furlough in Winnipeg.He got married at 10 a.m., fol-

lowed by two minutes of silence with his comrades an hour later.

It’s his neighbour, Terrie, who will delve into the cold, the hard-ships, the loss of friends Louis ex-perienced during the war, relayed

to her at one time or another in the eight years she’s known him.

But Louis, private man that he is, does take the time to show a new visitor a collec-

tion of 18 small black-and-white photographs.

His fi ngers point to images of ships in port, Italian roads, Al-lied tanks (good Shermans, bad Churchills), Canadian transport columns, his welding trucks and abandoned German tanks and submarines.

It’s no history book, but a his-tory book isn’t alive.

Louis is.He’s one of the thousands of Sec-

ond World War veterans that are,even if reluctant, still able to telltheir stories to those interested.Th e veterans who choose to stand(or sit) at attention at 11 a.m. to-morrow are free to express theirpride for serving their country.

But even those who don’t, theones who remain in the shadows,deserve our respect too.

All of the soldiers of the pre-vious Great War are gone now.Within decades, all of the menand women from the SecondWorld War era that are here to-day will be gone too.

Th ere’s a sense of guilt aboutasking Louis what Nov. 11 meansto him – as if it’s a cliché.

His answer is pretty direct.“Nothing. I’m trying to forget

the whole thing.”For those who have never met

Louis though, remember him, ifjust for one day.

Points of view

It turns out not every veteran wants to reminisce about their wartime service on November 11

Thursday, November 10, 2011 The Cloverdale Reporter 5

More than 1,500 attended unveiling in CloverdaleFrom page one

more than 50 veterans on parade at the ceremony, performed by Brig.-Gen-eral Victor W. Odlum, who pulled the cord, re-leasing two fl ags covering the artillery.

Aft er dedicatory servic-es were conducted by Rev. Col. G.O. Fallis and Can-on G. C. d’Eastum, MC of New Westminster’s Holy Trinity Cathedral, a choir sang O Canada, Fight the Good Fight, Nearer My God to Th ee and the national anthem. Bugler Clark sounded Th e Last Post. Dignitaries from as far away as New West-minster were on hand.

Following the bene-diction, wreaths were brought forward by rep-resentatives from the Sur-rey Board of Trade, the Surrey Women’s Institute, various ladies’ auxiliaries, Cloverdale veterans and others, including schools, boy scouts and churches.

Th e cenotaph has been in three locations in Clo-verdale.

Th e fi rst was on the west grounds of Surrey Municipal Hall (the 1912 Hall that now houses the Surrey Archives). Th e outline of where the ceno-taph once stood is still vis-ible on the grass.

During the late 1950s, it was moved to a new location outside of Shan-non Hall at the Clover-dale Fairgrounds. Many residents would recognize it as the Surrey Museum

site at 176 Street and 60 Avenue (until recently home to the Cloverdale Seniors Centre).

Today, the cenotaph is located on the plaza between the Surrey Mu-seum and the Surrey Archives, where it was moved in 2005 – as close to the original location as

possible.Th e monument was

refurbished that year. A wider base was added, the granite acid washed and fl ashed to restore its original beauty. New granite panels engraved with historic information were added, replacing old metal letters.

Also, the top was modi-fi ed to better represent a grave and provide perma-nent Second World War, Korea and Peacekeeper memorials.

Th e statue, “Kneeling in Remembrance”, de-picts a soldier in typical First World War battle kit, with the insignia of the local B.C. 47th Bat-talion, kneeling at a grave. It was built using funds donated by Surrey school children, the Cloverdale Legion Branch 6, the B.C. government, and offi ce of Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon.

It was unveiled on Nov. 11 during the 2006 Remembrance Day cer-emony.

Annual ceremonies were held on Aug. 4 until aft er the Second World War.

Th e fi gure and gran-ite blocks are meant to resemble a temporary grave a soldier’s unit might have created for

someone killed in battle. – Sources: “Heritage

Veterans also fought for new Surrey hospital

To the editor;As we pause on November 11 to remem-

ber those who sacrifi ced their lives in mili-tary service, we can also give thanks to the Second World War veterans who played a role in building Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Surrey vets, fresh from the battlefi eld, ar-rived back home in the 1940s and took up an important cause closer to home. Th ey fought for a new hospital.

Due to their relentless fundraising and advocacy, Surrey Memorial Hospital opened

in 1959. Now, 52 years later, it is the second largest hospital in British Columbia. It is now undergoing an expansion that will see the addition of 151 new beds, bringing it to 650 beds.

Th e construction of the Critical Care Tower at Surrey Memorial is the largest capi-tal expansion in the province’s history. Ad-ditionally, it plays an important role in the training of doctors with an entire fl oor in the new tower devoted to the Medical School at UBC.

Th e veterans, their family and friendswould be proud that their actions have brought relief and life-saving treatment to somany families.

Your work has made life better for hun-dreds and thousands of Surrey residents,past, present and future.

Th aw in chilly talks to keep RCMP in B.C.By Jeff NagelA deal may be close in

talks between B.C. and the federal government to keep the RCMP as the police force for most cities.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the municipal observer in the negotiations, said the tone of federal offi -cials has become more cooperative and con-ciliatory, adding “sig-nifi cant” progress was made this week.

“Nobody is threat-ening anybody at the moment,” he said aft er returning from negotia-tions in Ottawa. “I am more optimistic than I’ve been that we’ll get there.”

Federal offi cials told B.C. in September to sign a new 20-year RCMP contract by the end of this month or else they’d begin with-drawing the Mounties in 2014.

Th at ultimatum prompted B.C. to start assessing what it would take to launch a replace-ment force.

Fassbender said a fi nal deal isn’t likely by the end-of-month deadline but added a framework may be ready and he doubts Ottawa would “pull the trigger” and act on its threat if that’s the case.

“I can’t see the fed-eral government using a calendar date as the breaking point if we’re moving ahead and close to a deal.”

Th e agreement, if con-cluded, will be a 20-year contract with an option every fi ve years for any party to reopen discus-sions on any aspect of it, he said.

Any city or province will be able to opt out of the RCMP on two years notice, he said.

Ottawa hasn’t budged on B.C.’s demands for a more generous cost-sharing formula, which currently sees large cit-

ies pay 90 per cent of local RCMP costs, while smaller ones shoulder 70 per cent.

But Fassbender be-lieves new provisions, including a contract management commit-tee, will give cities much more meaningful input and control in contain-ing escalating RCMP costs and infl uencing decisions made in Otta-wa on an ongoing basis.

Fassbender said the provincial government is continuing to evalu-ate what an alternate force to replace the RCMP might look like and what might be in-volved.

“It doesn’t hurt to know what the option is,” he said. “If a deal comes together and we sign a 20-year contract I don’t think we have to look at it as earnestly as

if we weren’t going to have a deal.”

Solicitor General Shirley Bond said some simpler items have been settled in the talks but complex issues remain.

“I’m hopeful that the momentum that’s tak-ing place in bargaining would allow us to make sure there isn’t an ar-bitrary deadline,” she said.

Bond said cities want to keep the RCMP if possible, but “certainly not at all costs.”

B.C., home to the larg-

est number of Mounties in the country, has been thrust into a position of leading the talks on be-half of other provinces and territories.

Its bargaining posi-tion eroded earlier this year when Saskatch-ewan and Alberta broke ranks and renewed their RCMP contracts, but with a me-too clause that also gives them any improvements B.C. ne-gotiates.

Th e current RCMP contract expires at the end of March.

SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said B.C. should press forward – even if there is a deal – to set up regional police forces in Metro Vancouver and Victoria to replace the current mish-mash of munici-pal police and RCMP detachments in those areas.

“B.C. needs to pro-ceed straight away to seriously look at the al-ternatives,” he said, add-ing that should take the form of a task force or blue-ribbon review.

Advocates like Gor-don maintain a regional force would be better equipped to bust gangs and other criminals who don’t care about civic borders.

Gordon said civic leaders like Fassbender seem too focused on the cost of the RCMP without considering the effi ciency gains from switching to a regional force.

“He’s still very much in favour of the RCMP because he can’t see a vi-able alternative,” Gordon

said. “Th e municipalconcerns are very paro-chial, focused very muchon fi nancing. Th ere’s notalk of effi ciency alongwith the costs.”

Th ere are 11 RCMPdetachments in theLower Mainland, in-cluding Burnaby, Rich-mond, North Vancouverand Surrey. Seven citiesare policed by municipalforces.

B.C. disbanded itsformer provincial policeforce in 1950 in favourof the RCMP.

Animal neglect and cruelty is heartbreaking to witness at any time of year, but as temperatures drop and winter’s wrath draws near, it is particularly distressing for SPCA constables to fi nd so many animals left outdoors in freezing tempera-tures, with little or no protection from the elements.

While the SPCA responds to countless cases where animals are in serious dis-tress aft er being deliberately neglected outdoors, even well-loved family pets can become sick or injured in harsh weather.

Here are some simple tips to keep your pet healthy and happy this winter: Antifreeze can be a deadly winter hazard for pets, who fi nd the taste appealing. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is extremely toxic to pets and wildlife — a mere tablespoon is enough to kill a cat or small dog. Ensure you are using pet-safe, propylene-based antifreeze, which you will fi nd at automotive supply stores if you’re adding it yourself, or you can ask your mechanic for it if you’re having your vehicle professionally winterized. Road salt is toxic if ingested and can also irritate dogs’ paws. When outside with your dog, pay special attention to where he’s walking and ensure you wipe his paws thoroughly aft er walks and play to remove any salt. (Th e SPCA recommends using pet-friendly, non-corrosive de-icing compounds.)

Ice can also cut your dog’s paws – watch your dog closely for signs he may be injured during ex-ercise, and check for cuts and sores aft er exercise.

Cats and wild animals have been known to seek warmth inside the motor compartment of vehicles during winter. Make it a habit to thump the hood

of your car before starting it to chase away any animals who may be hid-ing inside.

Th e BC SPCA is strongly op-posed to keeping pets outside, par-ticularly in cold temperatures. If you must leave your animal outside for short periods, ensure that he or she has an appropriate shelter that is

elevated off the ground and insulated. It should also be regularly cleaned and cleared of any environmental debris. Th e outdoor shelter should also be appropriate to the weight and coat of the animal; he or she must be able to sit, stand, lie down and turn around freely and easily.

Your dog must also have access to potable wa-ter at all times so check regularly to ensure that the water in the dish is not frozen. Visit spca.bc.ca for more information on winter safety tips.

Skaters ‘super excited’ by youth park promise

By Jennifer LangIt’s the news local skaters have been hoping for.A new, covered youth park will be built in Clover-

dale, Surrey city councillors decided Monday night, citing the town centre’s rapid population growth and a desire to create new sporting opportunities in the community.

About 16,000 people have moved to Cloverdale since 2005, putting pressure on the existing youth park at 17848 64 Avenue, which can no longer meet the demand.

Th e project will be similar to the facility that opened this year at Chuck Bailey Recreation Cen-tre, Mayor Dianne Watts said, adding it will be an accessible and free recreation area that can be used rain or shine.

“Everyone’s super excited to hear the news,” said Laine Siebert of Ollie North Skate Shop in Clover-dale.

He said Cloverdale is home to a large commu-nity of skaters, who range from kids aged 6 to 8 to people in their 40s.

Th ey all agree the existing facility is lacking. “It’s bad,” Siebert said. “It’s kind of run down.

Th ere are cracks everywhere. Defi nitely, this new park is going to be a major bonus for us.”

Th e city’s announcement comes just days aft er Ollie North Skate Shop owner Shawn Jafarnejad told the Reporter Cloverdale’s youth skate park was long overdue for an overhaul.

He’d been gathering signatures on a petition – as well as seeking online support – for rebuilding Clo-verdale’s youth park.

He’d been hoping to convince the city to revamp or completely rebuild the park, which he said poses a safety risk for newbies to the sport.

Jafarnejad wants to turn the park into a more

family and visitor-friendly spot, with better light-ing, landscaping, pathways and other features that appeal to the whole community, not just skaters.

A location hasn’t been announced, however Watts said local youth will be consulted as part of the planning process.

Th e project will be added to the city’s Build Sur-rey program. Meantime, city staff will begin plan-ning and design work for the project, along with approaching senior levels of government for grants or funding partnerships.

By Jeff NagelTh e Cohen inquiry

will hear more evidence in December to weigh reports that a deadly

salmon virus has in-fected multiple species of wild salmon on the B.C. coast.

Th e commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye had ended hearings in September and began taking fi nal submissions Friday.

But commission counsel Brian Wallace said the inquiry will re-convene for two more days of testimony in mid-December.

“Testing of samples of Pacifi c salmon from two areas of the prov-ince has indicated the possible presence of the Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus in several Pacifi c salmon,” Wallace said.

More results are ex-pected within a month, he said, adding the in-quiry has asked for the latest test results and in-formation on the fi sh.

Th e fi rst reported de-tection of ISA in two

sockeye smolts sampled along the central coast was disclosed by SFU researcher Rick Rout-ledge in early October, aft er the inquiry stopped hearing witnesses, in-cluding experts on salmon diseases.

Independent biologist and anti-fi sh farm activ-ist Alexandra Morton said three more salmon taken from lower Fraser tributaries – a chinook, a coho and a chum – also tested positive for ISA virus.

Th e Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is analyzing the samples and has not yet confi rmed any of the positive tests.

News of the potential ISA infection has rocked the B.C. salmon indus-try, raising the spectre stocks here may be hit with an ISA outbreak of the type that have rav-aged Chilean and Euro-pean fi sh farms.

Fisheries critics fear the virus is loose in the wild and will be able to infect net pen Atlantic salmon farms – if they are not there already – and pose a continuing threat to wild salmon stocks.

“All these fi sh farms need to close down

now,” Morton said, add-ing ISA becomes more virulent in captive envi-ronments like fi sh farms and hatcheries.

“Th e only hope is to turn off the source, stop crowding fi sh together and let this thing burn through the wild Pa-cifi c like a forest fi re and

extinguish itself. Th at’s it, there is no other op-tion.” Morton also wants a B.C. lab established to test for ISA and that it be overseen by an inter-national board.

Th e B.C. Salmon Farmers Association said it has sampled thou-sands of fi sh from its

members’ farms with-out fi nding any ISA.

But critics like Mor-ton don’t trust industry-controlled tests.

And U.S. senatorsfrom Washington andAlaska have also calledfor independent tests,suggesting Canadian of-fi cials may be too closeto the $400-million aquaculture industry.

Mainstream Canada,an aquaculture fi rm,said in a statement in-dependent re-testingof the fi rst reportedsamples has come backinconclusive.

ISA has mainly beena disease of farmed At-lantic salmon and theEuropean strain can killup to 90 per cent of in-fected fi sh.

Some researchers andaquaculture organiza-tions say it may poseless of a threat to wildsockeye.

Five charged for selling fake transit passesBy Jeff NagelTransit Police have

busted a counterfeit ring accused of selling fake TransLink monthly transit passes that were made in China.

Insp. Brian MacDon-ald said counterfeit two-zone FareCards that normally sell for $110 were marketed for about $90 to $100 through Chinese and English ads on social networking sites.

“It was a fairly sophis-ticated operation,” he

said, adding hundreds of passes were made and sold.

Xue Liu, a 22-year-old Chinese citizen living in Vancouver, is charged with three charges of forgery, possession and presentation of forged documents.

Four other Vancouver residents – 23-year-old Brian Anthony Nardi, 26-year-old Jason Ka-Yiu Law, 29-year-old Th unyapa Siriprapakorn and 27-year-old Jessica Tsz Ching Woo – face

charges of possessing or presenting forgeries.

Liu and Siriprapak-orn, a Th ai citizen, are here on student or visi-tor visas.

A third foreign na-

tional has been deport-ed for being in Canada illegally as a result of the eight-month investiga-tion, which is continu-ing and could lead to more charges.

It’s illegal to buy tran-sit passes from anyone but a licensed FareDeal-er, MacDonald said.

“People who buy these are putting themselves at signifi cant risk,” he

said, adding violators could get a $173 ticket or face criminal charges depending on the cir-cumstances.

TransLink expects pass counterfeiting

and illegal reselling oftickets will subside in2013 when it rolls outits Compass smart cardpayment system.

New directors voted to TransLinkArea mayors have appointed two new directors to

the board of TransLink. Rick Christiaanse is a telecommunications indus-

try executive and consultant who previously worked for Sport BC and with the 2010 Olympics.

Marcella Szel is a former vice-president of CP Rail who also serves on the Port Metro Vancouver board and is past chair of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

A third director, Howard Nemtin, was reap-pointed to a second three-year term. He has a back-ground in real estate development consulting and is a commercial mediator.

A third of the nine seats on the board come up for renewal or replacement each year.

TransLink directors collect more than $50,000 a year – a base stipend of $25,000 per year plus addi-tional amounts for chairing committees and $1,200 for every meeting they attend.

Although the region’s mayors have fi nal say on the appointment of new directors they must pick from a small short list of applicants vetted by a panel that mainly represents business groups.

Th e board controls all TransLink spending and meets behind closed doors.

Mayors only get a vote when the board seeks higher taxes or fares for supplemental spending.

Th e mayors council is pressing the province to reform the governance structure to give them more say in how TransLink is run and in setting spending priorities.

Sledge Hockey SignupRegistration has opened for the third annual

Community Sledge Hockey Tournament, Saturday, Nov. 26 at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex. Th e event, hosted by the City of Surrey and Sport-Ability, off ers community members a chance to par-ticipate in the sport, and also serves as a fundraiser for the Surrey sledge hockey program.

Play runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an awards presentation to follow. Teams are provided with sleds and sticks for six players, with players respon-sible for pads (elbow and shoulder, a helmet with a full cage, gloves and goalie equipment.

Registration deadline is Nov. 11, and more infor-mation is available at http://sportabilitybc.ca/3rd-annual-sledge-hockey-showdown/.

Coyote sightingsCloverdale residents might be wise to keep a close

eye on their house pets. Th ere have been several reports of coyote sightings in the area this week, prompting warnings to keep pets indoors.

Th e fi rst came via Twitter... On Nov. 2, @KelleBel-laCa warned #Cloverdale and #Surrey peeps about a juvenile coyote spotted in her neighbourhood at 175A and 61B Avenue. “Watch kids and pets!”

Th e second report came on Facebook Monday, when Cecilia Th ompson posted a warning on the Reporter’s Page about a coyote sighting near George Greenaway Elementary school last weekend. “Keep your pets in, people!” She wrote.
