BIA movesto save Santa

ParadeBy Jennifer LangTh e Cloverdale Business Improve-

ment Association has launched an appeal to save one of its largest com-munity events, Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights.

For the past two years, the asso-ciation has had to drum up thou-sands of dollars in sponsorships to cover costs of the annual Christmas parade, a celebration that lights up the historic town centre each December, drawing thousands of spectators and setting the stage for the holiday season.

Th e event culminates with the arrival of Santa Claus, along with a light-ed procession of trucks from Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley.

As the parade has grown in scale, security and traffi c control costs have soared.

But this year, the asso-ciation – which promotes the historic town centre as a business district on behalf of about 300 mem-ber businesses – was forced to shelve two of its signature events, the Clo-verdale Blueberry Festival in August and the annual Halloween Costume Parade, citing budget constraints.

In April, the Cloverdale BIA board of directors approved a revised bud-get that allocates more resources to beautifi cation projects and attracting new businesses.

Th e budget-conscious association is now galvanizing eff orts to save the Santa parade. Executive director

Paul Orazietti said the move is based on results of a recent membership survey that asked respondents to rank events it co-sponsors such as the Santa parade and the blueberry festival in terms of priority.

With about 15 per cent reporting back from the online survey, the Clo-verdale BIA board has decided to act.

“Th e two most sacred events that they want to support are the Rodeo

parade and the Santa parade,” Orazietti said. “Being very mindful of dollars, we believe this is something we can support with limited manpower.”

Th e Save the 2015 Surrey Santa Parade campaign is a fundraising drive that businesses and individuals can support by sponsoring anywhere from $1 to $1,000.

Orazietti also hopes people will also share personal photos from the Santa Parade on social media, using the hashtag

#SaveTh eSurreySantaParade as a way to celebrate positive feelings sur-rounding the community event.

Meantime, the Cloverdale BIA is also approaching other Surrey BIAs to help out. “Th ere should be some increased cost sharing,” he said, pointing to Central City’s Big Rigs for Kids, which coincides with Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights and features the same convoy of lighted trucks that collect donations for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau.

Ready for classes to start

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOStaff take a breather last Thursday outside the brand-new digs of the Traditional Learning Academy, set to welcome students to its new 5741 176 St. location (Hawthorne Square), formerly home to the Cloverdale Learning Centre, which has moved two blocks south.

Candidates forum set for Cloverdale-Langley City

Blow down

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSWhile its owners were away, a large tree hit the roof of a house in the 18100-block of 58 Avenue in Clo-verdale on Aug. 29. Gusts in excess of 90km/hour in an unexpected, intense summer windstorm that knocked down trees and power lines, blocking roads and cutting power to homes and businesses across the Lower Mainland. Several thousand Surrey residents were without power for up to three days.

Single parent job program startsSingle parents on income and disability assistance are now eligible for

new training, child care and transportation funds to attend training for in-demand jobs.

Eff ective Sept. 1, the program also increases the monthly earning exemp-tion for parents who receive assistance, from $200 to $400 for income as-sistance recipients and from $300 to $500. For eligible training, payments for child care, public transit and exemptions for bursaries and scholarships are available for up to a year.

Applications are available at the Surrey-Cloverdale Work BC Employ-ment Services Centre at #101-5783 176A St. Th e centres also provide work-shops on resume writing and interview preparation. See workbc.ca.

By Jennifer LangVoters in Cloverdale-

Langley City will have at least one opportunity to watch their federal election candidates in action at an all can-didates meeting early next month.

It’s happening Wednesday, Oct. 7 from 7-9 p.m. at the Langley Kwantlen Polytechnic University Campus auditorium (20901 Langley Bypass), and presented by the Greater Langley Cham-ber of Commerce, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.

Th e non-partisan meeting is free, and is being organized so

residents and business people in the new elec-toral district can meet their candidates prior to voting day.

Candidates from four major parties are hoping to make history Oct. 19 by winning the fi rst-ever seat here as MP: Conservative Dean Drysdale, who won the electoral district’s

nomination last fall, Liberal John Aldag, who stepped forward early in the new year, followed by the Green Party’s Scott Anderson and NDP candidate Rebecca Smith.

For more on the event, contact the Lang-ley Chamber offi ce at 604-371-3770.

What’s Up!at the Cloverdale Library

From the trenchesIt’s raining as I pull around

the corner to the works yard, a typical grey, wet Surrey morning.

I stop and let someone in an old, most likely borrowed and musty yellow slicker cross the street. He’s wearing one of those pastel-coloured ball caps they sell to hip dads at Th e Gap. As he crosses and smiles, I rec-

ognize him as my boss Vince. Actually, my boss’s boss – he’s City of Surrey Manager Vince LaLonde.

Glad I stopped.When most of upper man-

agement is still out on summer vacation, LaLonde is spend-ing a day in the pouring rain, pouring cement.

I heard he does this quite regularly – spend a day in the

workers’ shoes, or in this case, boots.

I know the concrete crew he’s going out with. It’s back-heavy labour and they won’t cut him any slack. Vince never asks for any.

He wants to be able to relate with everyone on their terms, a very refreshing view from the new management in many areas of the city. Kudos for this delib-

erate choice in direction.With all the negative inci-

dents and focus on manager/employee relationships lately, I thought it would be nice to hear of a positive one instead.

Th is isn’t a manager love fest. Vince is an adamant Montreal Canadiens fan, so there’s that.

J. FellSurrey

Finally, your vote can countTo the editor; Every election cycle I am repulsed by the

level of disaff ection many Canadians have for our democracy. Th ey generally say some-thing like, “My vote doesn’t mean crap. Vot-ing is pointless and stupid. We have no real infl uence.” What makes me most disgusted about such statements is the fact that in many electoral ridings across Canada, the people who say such things are right. Yes, votes are wasted and tossed into the trash can in Canada. Oft en, thanks to our First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system, peo-ple who think their vote is meaningless are correct.

Now most fans of the Conservative party are fi ne with the status quo. Th ey have a big tent party that helps them win control of the House of Commons with a disproportion-ately low amount of popular support thanks to FPTP. With less than half of the support of the Canadian people, the Cons can currently do whatever they like in Ottawa. Is that fair

or democratic? Does that refl ect the will of the electorate? Proportional representation could work for Canada as well as it works for the majority of healthy democracies in the world.

Th e Green Party has made impressive strides with respect to popular support over the last few years, despite decades of lagging behind without any seats in the House of Commons. However, with regionally diff use support at such low levels, the Greens can’t hope for more than a tiny handful of seats aft er the next election. But, and this is a big but, if Greens thought more carefully about long term strategy, they would see their best tactical move: support the NDP just for this one and only election and get the system they need to go from struggling for two or three seats to realistically having the ability to acquire more like 20-30 seats.

If you support the Libertarian party, the Pirate party, the Christian Heritage party, older parties like Social Credit, or indepen-dent candidates for that matter – individuals who could easily win with strong support in

a riding so long as the proportional repre-sentation system adopted ensured regional representation – the NDP in this election has the potential to galvanize the Canadian voting public and fundamentally level the playing fi eld. We have the chance to let our voices truly be heard. We could fi nally have every vote count in an election where the parties that best represent our interests get

law changing infl u-ence based on the number of people who vote for that party.

Many people dis-like the NDP, but

the fact that they have promised to change our electoral system is reason enough for people across the political spectrum to sup-port them for just this one time. It’s worth the gamble. Our country’s democracy is at stake, and that is why I support the NDP and my candidate Rebecca Smith this October.

With the recent legal-ization of marijuana in Washington and

Oregon, and with the confu-sion and inconsistencies around marijuana dispensaries in this province, we are young citizens who have many questions about where our community is headed in regard to marijuana.

Should Canada move from le-galization of medical marijuana to an inclusive legalization for recreational use?

Arrests for marijuana posses-sion in this province have been

increasing – although the number of arrests depends on the region

of the province where people reside.

As criminology students at Kwantlen who hope to enter a career in law enforcement in the not too distant future, we have been looking at health and legal issues around recreational mari-juana in the Lower Mainland for a writing course we have taken with Dr. Sue Ann Cairns.

We do not use marijuana, and thus we have no vested interest in whether or not marijuana is legalized.

However, we do hope that when we are enforcing laws in our community, that the laws are consistent and make sense.

As citizens of this province, and concerned citizens in the community of Surrey, we are concerned about the amount of police time and costs associated with enforcement of our current laws regarding possession of marijuana.

We have discovered both pros and cons regarding legalization of recreational marijuana.

Th e cons include the follow-ing points:

• Possible gateway drug to other forms of more

dangerous drugs such as cocaine

• Health risks, especially for adolescents whose brains are still developing

• Impairments in judge-ment and memory while under the infl uence

• Likelihood that legaliza-tion will not be a cure-all for the illegal marijuana trade

Th e pros include these points:

• Reduction of black market

• Economic benefi ts as-sociated with taxation and licensing

• Cost savings for courts and police time

• Potential reduction of illegal supply in black market

• Economic benefi ts as-sociated with taxation and licensing

Recognizing that there will be a strong need to think this issue through carefully, we believe that it is high time that we have more public dialogue around this question.

Cougar Creek French Immersion program cut

By Sheila ReynoldsA new French immersion (FI) program that was

to start at Surrey’s Cougar Creek Elementary this week has been cancelled before it could begin.

Surrey School District offi cials announced in late August that the program was in peril due to low en-rolment – just eight kids were signed up to start the kindergarten language program. Early last week, that number had risen to 12.

But that’s where enrolment stalled, forcing the district to halt the program as it fell far short of the 22 students preferable for a full class. Even with 18 or 20, the class may have proceeded, said Surrey Board of Education chair Shawn Wilson, who was shocked at the low interest in the new FI location.

“I would’ve expected there would be a full take-up of that program,” he said. “To ask the questions and go to the public… and include it in a facilities plan and open it and not have anyone commit to it was a disappointment.”

In June, aft er years of parents lobbying for bet-ter access to FI, the school district found available space at the Newton area elementary school and gave the go-ahead to open a new program there. Cougar Creek would have been the seventh el-ementary school in Surrey to host an early French program.

Every year, dozens of children are put on waitings lists as the demand far outweighs the number of student spaces available for FI. From spring to mid-August, parents of the 229 families on the waiting list were contacted and off ered a spot at Cougar Creek.

Most, said the district, indicated they didn’t want to drive to the school, located at 12236 70A Ave.

Generally, the waiting lists are signifi cantly lon-ger at the South Surrey schools that off er French immersion. But Wilson said the program has to be off ered in all areas of the city.

“We have to establish these things in a fair and equitable way,” he said.

“We’re responsible for responding to the public’s demands and then we do and no one responds.”

Surrey School District contacted 299 families on waiting list

New school curriculum to emphasize hands on learning

By Tom FletcherTh e new school year

in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Bernier says will emphasize “hands-on” learning.

Th e new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in develop-ment. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in 2015-16.

Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this sum-mer, said he’s heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more fl exibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, col-

laboration and critical thinking.

Two areas of empha-sis for the new curricu-lum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said.

Hands-on learning is already in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his home town of Dawson Creek who encour-aged students at risk of dropping out to take his course. Th ey learned mathematics and phys-ics through taking mo-tors apart and reassem-bling them, he said.

Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.

bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis.

In the science cur-riculum, for example, students are to be taught “big ideas” that in Grade 1 include “observable patterns and cycles oc-cur in the local sky and landscape.”

By Grade 8, they are to learn that “Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.”

Science competen-cies required by Grade 7 include the ability to “exercise a healthy, in-

formed skepticism and use scientifi c knowledge and fi ndings for their own investigations to evaluate claims in sec-ondary sources” such as media reports.

By that time they should be able to iden-tify possible sources of error in their investiga-tions, understand quali-tative and quantitative evidence and “demon-strate an an awareness of assumptions … and bias in their own work and secondary sources.”– Black Press

Surrey Food Bank hit hard by wind storm

By Boaz JosephNo refrigeration, no

lights, no phones, no access to the volunteer database.

Marilyn Herrmann was “frustrated as all hell” aft er the Surrey Food Bank (SFB) lost power in the Aug. 29 wind storm.

Interviewed early last week over the phone at her home – where she was charging her cell-phone – the executive director of the SFB said the North Surrey char-ity took a big hit aft er a tree next door took out a power pole on SFB property.

Even aft er the pole was replaced by BC Hydro two nights later, the lines weren’t installed properly and just dangled on cars in the parking lot.

Th e warehouse was dark for nearly four long days. Power was back up at 11:15 a.m. last Wednesday, said Herrmann, who added that BC Hydro told her to bring in an electri-cian the night before to correct a specifi c problem.

“Th ey said it was a complicated fi x.”

“Staff are tired, but they’re whipping around doing what they have to do.”

She was under extra pressure knowing that the gates had to be unlocked in case Hydro crews came at a time when the food bank was closed to complete the repairs.

By last Tuesday, staff and volunteers were

forced to throw away more than $2,000 worth of eggs, dairy products and other perishable foods.

Volunteer activity in the unlit warehouse has been kept to a mini-mum, and 165 clients who came in early last week were given the most basic of non-perishable foods. No one has been turned away yet.

“What we can get to, we’re giving.”

She said one man who came for help last week was among doz-ens of new clients who lost their perishables at home when their power went out.

On top of the spoiled food he had to replace, the man, a former food bank client, also had to

take care of his young son during the day because their daycare centre across the street also lost power.

Th e SFB serves 14,000 clients each month (including a Cloverdale depot that’s open twice a month) and has made extra eff ort to provide more nutritious food in recent years.

Herrmann says a lesson has been learned from the experience – at the very least, she’ll look into buying a generator.

“We as an organiza-tion need to be better prepared for these things,” she says.

“We are an essential service. We can’t do this again.”

Herrmann said that

the coolers needed a couple of days to be ready for perishable goods – if they put food in them sooner, it would take longer for them to cool down.

Th e SFB asked do-nors to not bring in any perishable goods until early this week, because perishables brought in on Friday would be unused until Monday anyway.

Non-perishable goods are welcome at any time – as are online and cash donations to make up for the perish-able losses during the power outage.

Herrmann said three large corporate dona-tions were off ered, and the Overwaitea Food Group is coordinating to replenish SFB stocks.

“Th at’s wonderful,” she said. “(Th ere’s) wonderful community support again.”

Retired rescuer makes the move to CloverdaleCONTRIBUTED PHOTO

One of Surrey’s newest heritage attractions, the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum, has recently been gifted a vintage 1955 Chevrolet fi re truck from the City of Hope. Members of the volunteer society that operates the museum, the Surrey Heri-tage Society, hope to have the new vehicle decorated for the Surrey Santa Parade, which is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 6 in Cloverdale. The museum, open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is the focus of a fundraiser on Sunday, Sept. 20. For fundraiser information, see the listing in this week’s Clover Valley Community Calendar.

Directors wantedAre you interested in trying

your hand at directing but don’t want to bite off a whole play?

Th e Surrey Little Th eatre has the perfect proposal for newbies. Th e Clayton-based community theatre troupe is looking for a willing volunteer to step in to fi ll the fourth and fi nal director’s spot for its upcoming comedy, Funny Little Th ing Called Love.

Th e full length play consists of several scenes that are each a play on their own – all con-nected by the common elements of a full moon and love. Award-winning director Helen Embury will mentor four new directors as part of the production, taking the stage in early 2016.

Th ree out of four fi rst-time directors for the production are already in place. Production

manager Brigitte Seib says she’s pleased to welcome Langley’s Ken Boyd, Patricia Braun of Abbotsford and Surrey’s Brad Duncan to the team.

“All three are talented, award-winning actors that I’ve worked with in the past and I’m very excited that they have come aboard in this capac-ity,” Seib said.

Interested can-didates can contact Seib by email at [email protected] for consid-eration. Submissions accepted until midnight Sept. 9 (tonight).

Mentors are also being put into place for the design team, hair and makeup, and stage management, making this a great season for newcomers to get involved.

Tonight is also the Surrey Little Th eatre’s Annual General Meeting, being held at the Surrey Little Th eatre, 7027 184 Street, 7:30 p.m. Meet new members and socialize starting at 6 p.m.

Surrey Little Th eatre’s 2015-2016 season kicks off with Calendar Girls, written by Tim Firth and directed by Simon Challenger (Oct. 22-Nov. 21), Funny Little Th ing Called Love, by Jesse Jones, Nicholas

Hope and Jamie Wooten (Jan. 28 to Feb. 27, 2016), and Th e Last Lifeboat, written by Luke Yankee and directed by Dale Kelly (April 14 to May 14).
