Time to draw the line in Clayton

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOThe development permit application stands in a grassy lot at the northwest end of 194 Street and 73 Avenue.

By Jennifer LangA controversial re-zoning application

in Clayton will go to public hearing this September, despite concerns that the neighbourhood planning process isn’t be-ing followed.

Th e application involves a property in an Neighbour-hood Concept Plan that has not yet been fi nalized.

Cloverdale resident and parent Linda Stromberg is concerned that the developer is being allowed to “jump the queue”, resulting in added residential units in a neighbourhood where new residential development is outpacing the capacity of schools in the area.

“It is my view, in Clayton, that we should not accept this, given the current situation in our schools,” she said.

Stromberg said she would like the application delayed until the NCP is com-pleted, thought to be sometime in 2015.

“Although denying the application until 2015 will not stop the pressure it will ulti-mately bring on the schools, it will delay

it a bit, and, more importantly,” she said, “it will send a message that particularly in Clayton, development should not be ac-celerated beyond what the city has already determined with its NCP process.”

Stromberg sent her objec-tions to mayor and council earlier this summer, but the application has proceeded to public hearing.

She hopes she and other opponents will pack council chambers on Sept. 8, when the re-zoning application will be heard.

Th e developer is seeking to have the property at 7379 194 Street zoned RF-10 in order to create eight, single family small lots.

“I’m really hoping there will be a large turnout opposing

that,” Stromberg said.Surrey City Council on Feb. 3 approved

a measure to investigate re-zoning three lots – including this one – before the NCP had been approved.

Brenden’s Ride to let the sun shine on other kids’ summers

By Boaz JosephBrenden Parker has accomplished a lot re-

cently.Last year, he graduated from Clayton

Heights Secondary at the age of 17.He’s now working on a big fundraising eff ort

for a B.C. charity.Not bad for a teen who can’t walk, dress or

feed himself.Parker, who has advanced Cerebral Palsy

(CP) and must rely on an electric wheelchair and the close support of his family, is giving back to Easter Seals Camp Squamish, a place that’s made his summers.

For the last seven years, Parker has gone to Easter Seals Camp Squamish for one week each summer to have fun and meet other kids – and the occasional councillor – with CP.

Th irty-three-acre Camp Squamish, located at the foot of Mount Garibaldi and the mouth of the Squamish River, provides fi ve six-day sessions throughout the summer for hundreds of kids with various physical and mental dis-abilities.

Up until 2012, admission was free – with funds raised by Easter Seals and its parent charity, the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.

In 2013, the cost to participants for one

week was raised to $100 (a fraction of the ac-tual cost), and this year, $500. Th e charitieswould cover the rest.

Parker’s parents paid his “document fee” thisyear – because of his age, this was his fi nal year at the camp – but Parker decided that the high cost would mean the camp could be out of reach for some families in the future.

His brainchild was Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals, which takes place Sept. 13.

Th e objective: To help Camp Squamish tosubsidize campers, and to increase awarenessof CP.

Th e Cloverdale Business Improve-ment Association is trying to deter-mine the scope and impact of local homelessness by asking member businesses to fi ll out a short, online survey.

Th e survey was devel-oped by the Cloverdale BIA, which sometimes conducts research on social issues brought forward by members. Th is year the focus is homelessness.

Respondents are asked if they

think homelessness is a problem for their business, if it has contributed to a loss of clients or business, and

if there are currently enough resources dedi-cated to Cloverdale’s homeless.

Th e online survey is located at surveymon-key.com/s/MWN9T83.

It’s hoped results will help con-tribute to eff orts to educate and advocate on the issue.

Humans crave connection. We all have an innate desire to belong, to con-

nect. It is part of the human con-dition. We seek out others who share similar interests, beliefs, passions and hobbies.

So what do you do when you fi nd yourself lacking this sense of connection? Sometimes we fi nd ourselves in a new town and need to fi nd new friends. Other times we discover that the people we used to share so much in common with, no longer satisfy that deep need to belong. Perhaps you have outgrown each other or they simply don’t have the same schedule as you now. Th e reasons for needing to fi nd connection vary widely.

If you have ever felt this way, a disconnect or a lack of like-minded friends, you may be relieved to know that you are

not alone. With the internet you have access to all sorts of options for fi nding the right people for you to connect with. It is as easy as doing a quick internet search.

You can join social groups on sites such as meetup.com or look up local sport associations and get involved. You can donate your time by volunteering for a cause that you care about, and meet others like you while do-ing it. Perhaps you are an avid reader. Look up local book clubs, oft en listed on sites such as

Craigslist or on your community library website.

Once you have found some great people to spend time with, make sure you use the time wisely. Hu-man connection is integral for mental, emotional and even spiritual health. With the increas-ing popularity of smartphones and tablets people are fi nding themselves feeling disconnected even when they are amongst friends and family. I have encountered this myself.

I recommend you set up a pol-icy with your closest friends that once you are all together, you put your phones away on silent. Make the time you have together

count. It will defi nitely help boost your mood if you laugh together and talk about things

on your mind. Th ere is something about eye contact and en-gaging conversation. Choose to cultivate great, lasting friend-ships and healthy relationships. All it takes is a bit of eff ort and a commitment to sharing yourself. So lose the phone for the short time you have together. If you are doing things

that you love, with people you like being with, you won’t even miss it.

‘I thought in Clayton the city would follow its process’From page one

At the time, both mayor Dianne Watts and Coun. Barinder Rasode spoke against the measure. Rasode told Th e Reporter the decision gives some developers unfair ad-vantage over those who wait for the NCP process to conclude.

An NCP helps guide a community’s density, transportation network, sewer systems, fi nancing and land use policies. Th e plans determine the best unifi ed strat-egy for a neighbourhood and area created through consultation between city staff and residents.

Stromberg’s complaint is that making an exception in this case will set a troubling

precedent that will be diffi cult to reverse.She notes that although growth and res-

idential development has been carefully planned in this area of Clayton, the neigh-bourhood is experiencing well-publicized growing pains – from lack of parking and density to inadequate transit and infra-structure.

Her biggest concern is that the con-struction of new schools aren’t keeping pace with demand in the area, according to Stromberg, who fears even a few new students will place an added burden on already cramped classrooms.

“I thought in Clayton, the city would follow its process,” she said, expressing disappointment that the application is

proceeding to a public hearing. “Th is is aneasy one for the city to say, Whoa. No.”

While the proposed development will add only fi ve new elementary studentsand two secondary students, “every little bit adds up,” she said, pointing to othernew residential development about to get underway at Aloha Estates. Once that’sbuilt, she says portables will be needed atthe brand-new Katzie Elementary School,which quietly opened this spring.

“Our mayor and council can aff ect the pace of growth,” she said. “I agree that wewant to grow, but here is an area where,in my view, we need to show some morediscretion. Th ere’s an opportunity to draw the line.”

Mary-Lou Williams, one of Brenden Parker’s former teachers, designed this poster for the fi rst-ever Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals, a Sept. 13 motorcycle ride in support of rais-ing money for participants facing fees for Easter Seals Camp Squamish.

From page one

Country star Karen Lee Batten to entertain riders

“It’s all his baby,” says his father Baron. “Phys-ically, he’s screwed, but mentally, he’s always got it on.”

Th e plan is to gather as many as 150 riders on motorcycles (cars are welcome) to ride from Cloverdale to Camp Squamish for the day.

While Brenden will ride with his mom San-dy and sister Sarah in the family van, Baron will be on his Harley Davidson Road Glide.

Breakfast will be at Th e Henry in Clover-dale at 9 a.m., followed by a stop at Trev Deeley Motorcycles in Burnaby at 11 a.m., and then lunch at Camp Squa-mish from 12-3 p.m. – with food provided by Langley’s Sammy J’s Grill and Bar.

Th e aft ernoon’s en-tertainment will come courtesy of Langley resident, family friend and Canadian Idol alumnus and country

music star Karen Lee Batten.

Baron says the aft er-noon fundraiser will likely include auction items such as sports memorabilia and local outings.

Th e support from local donors and vol-unteers has been huge, says Baron.

Th e cost to par-ticipate in Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals is $25 – meaning that 20 participants would subsidize one child at next year’s camps – other funding sources take care of the rest of the actual cost of the program, which totals $2,400 per child for one week.

Th e rise in the admission cost from zero to $500 for each camper over the last two years stems from diminishing sources of income for the Lions Society, which runs Camps Squamish, Camp Shawnigan on Vancouver Island and

Camp Winfi eld in the Okanagan Valley.

Th e venerable Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay for the Kids, which 15 years ago was an eff ective fundraising tool, has nearly reached the end of its life due to competition from other charities, says an offi cial.

And while the number of campers this past summer dropped slightly from the previ-ous 800 or so, parents have generally accepted the new reality, says Stephen Miller, presi-dent and CEO of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabili-ties and Easter Seals.

Miller explains that unlike other camps for children with specifi c diseases such as cancer or diabetes, the nature of the Easter Seals camps – for kids with a variety of disabilities – means that volun-teers cannot be used, and the camps provide ratios of just one, two or three campers for each properly trained and paid staff member, to ensure proper safety and support.

For Brenden, the camp has been an im-portant part of the past seven summers.

He says he’s always had fun with the expe-rience and the friends he’s made there.

“It’s a way of life for me.”

Pre-registration for Brenden’s Ride for Eas-ter Seals ends on Sept. 2. For more informa-tion, visit www.bren-densride.com or www.eastersealscamps.ca.

Natural Health4 R’s for

Gastro-Intestinal HealthBy Henry Cheng (R.Ph), Christine Cheng (R.Ph)

Optimal gastro-intestinal (G-I) health is a key component of overall wellness. The common saying, “You are what you eat” is very true. For centuries, the ancient Chinese believed that “All wellness and ailments originate from the central gut”. Dysfunction of the GI tract has been linked to various disease states including immune disorders, respiratory problems, mental acuity, energy level, mood, weight control, skin, joint, blood, and of course stomach and intestinal problems.

The 4 R G-I Restoration Program is a simple nutritional approach to solve many complex gastro-intestinal conditions. The 4 R’s stand for Remove, Replace, Regenerate and Reinoculate.REMOVE all allergens and potential toxins

(chemicals, artifi cial coloring/fl avoring, MSG, caffeine, alcohol, etc.) from your food. Remove parasites and unwanted microbes like candida, fungus, pathogenic bacteria, etc. Apart from avoidance, this may call for botanical antimicrobials and bacteriostatic phytonutrients as can be found in the popular GASTROPLEX® (Biomed).

REPLACE benefi cial factors that are missing or defi cient. Digestive enzymes, stomach acid (as in seniors), bile acids and salts (e.g.,BIOGEST ® by Thorne), and mucosal protectants (with licorice, marshmallow, etc, such as in GASTROEASE+™) REGENERATE broken mucosa and

ulcers with L-Glutamine, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, curcumins, N-acetyl glucosamines (NAG). INTESTAMINE® by Douglas Laboratories and RR FORMULA™ by Biomed are based on this philosophy and are suitable for ulcers, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and Leaky Gut Syndrome. REINOCULATE good GI microfl ora, also

called “friendly bacteria” or “probiotics”, to provide a normal environment for digestion and absorption, as well as preventing overgrowth of undesirable organisms. They also secrete enzymes that can help assimilation. Eating yogurt is usually not good enough for disease state management since most of the organisms are killed by gastric acid. Make sure you choose a preparation that is enteric-coated or contains acid resistant strains, so the

organisms have a chance to reach the intestine where they establish colonies. Preparations containing FOS (Fructo-Oligo-Saccharides) are also favoured because this is the food on which the organisms thrive. Choosing a probiotic with multiple strains (e.g., ACIDOPHILUS ULTRA by New Roots Herbal) can be likened to sending in the whole army, whereas a probiotic with a few targeted strains (e.g., ULTRA FLORA ACUTE CARE™ by Metagenics) is like sending in the sharpshooters.

Th e Cloverdale incident took place July 21 at ap-proximately 4:30 p.m. According to police, a wom-an reported that a man had accidentally shot his friend in the leg at a home in the 18700-block of 60A Avenue.

ICBC seeks insurance rate hikeICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per

cent increase in basic auto insurance rates.Th e public auto insurer said the rate hike would

cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

Th e rate hike is to take eff ect Nov. 1 on an interimbasis while the BCUC reviews the application.

A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took eff ect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 forbasic coverage.

ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continuedrise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims forpain and suff ering, future care and lost wages.

Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 mil-lion from fi ve years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up.

Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones andother personal electronic devices behind the wheelis one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims.

Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes thatoft en cause injuries, spokesman Adam Grossmansaid.

A new campaign against distracted driving is toroll out in September.

Grossman was unable to provide details justify-ing why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase from2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. Th e full rate hike application is to be fi led Friday.

Consumers Association of Canada presidentBruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which ICBC has a mo-nopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete.

He also took aim at the provincial government’s continued raiding of ICBC coff ers for general rev-enue.

Th e province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013 and $576 million in 2010.

Cran said he doesn’t “give a damn” about ICBCand government claims the yearly dividends to theprovince come only from the optional side anddon’t aff ect basic rates.

“We see it a as one corporation,” he said. “As longas they’re stealing our money by the million by transferring it into government revenues, no mat-ter which division they claim it from, we are beinggouged as a public.”

Cran called it a stealth tax on people who drive vehicles that is “absolutely disgraceful.”

B.C. cuts bike gang policing budget

By Kevin DiakiwThe province’s deputy commissioner for the

RCMP is defending funding cuts to organized and serious crime forces this week.

The province cut $4.2 million from the Com-bined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and Provincial Major Crime program, slicing a total of 25 investigators from the Outlaw Motor-cycle Gang squad and the major crimes’ missing persons and unsolved homicide team.

“After significant consultation with my Senior Management Team and the CFSEU-BC Board of Governance, I notified the province that the budget shortfall would be reflected in cuts to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit BC and to the Provincial Major Crime program,” Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens said in a release Aug. 20.

Surrey Coun. Tom Gill described the loss of those services as “unfortunate.”

He said that luckily, Surrey has a detachment large enough to cover those lost positions, but many smaller detachments will not.

The move by the province to cut costs at the detriment of municipalities is nothing new, he said, adding it often happens by way of roads and social services.

“The provincial government is just trying to balance its budget on the backs of the munici-palities,” Gill said.

“This is a very important issue,” he added, noting the city should be banging on the solicitor general’s door to have those services returned.

The cuts to CFSEU amount to $2.8 million, chopping 12 positions to the bike gang squad and maintaining a “vacancy pattern” while re-ducing support positions.

Major crimes is being cut by 13 positions in the Special Projects/Unsolved Homicide/Miss-ing Persons program. This includes the reduc-tion of 13 full-time investigators within various projects.

Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the cuts won’t have a huge impact on Surrey.

“It’s not going to have that profound an effect on Surrey itself,” Carr said.

“We experience things like this on a regular basis, where the dynamics change in policing and we have to adjust our resources.”

Former chair of Surrey’s police committee, Coun. Barinder Rasode, said it’s not a question of whether the RCMP can adjust.

“I have no doubt that they could absorb it, I’m just saying they shouldn’t have to,” Rasode said.

She said the Solicitor General should be asked to return those services, but also to work with the local municipalities on what services should be cut, if any.

Surrey was not consulted at all before the cuts were announced, she’s said.

Former Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum, who is campaigning for the job this fall, said the timing of the budget reductions couldn’t be worse.

“These cuts are completely inappropriate,” McCallum said.

He agrees with Rasode that Surrey should have been consulted on the decision.

“We have got to get better communication in the RCMP and the region,” said McCallum, say-ing it’s key to effective decision-making.

PERT

Wouldn’t it be great if people valued animals so much that spaying and neutering your pet was just a socially accepted norm? While many people do ensure that their animals aren’t adding to B.C.’s pet overpopulation crisis, many otherwise caring pet guardians don’t take this important step.

Tragically many more animals are born in B.C. than there are homes for. The BC SPCA and other animal rescue organizations shelter and fi nd homes for tens of thousands of these unwanted animals each year, but sadly many more are simply abandoned by their guardians and suff er a cruel death from starvation, disease, predation or injury.

The BC SPCA urges all pet guardians to have their pets sterilized if they haven`t already done so. In addition to saving lives, your pet will live a calmer and happier life. Here are just some of the benefi ts for your pet:

Neutering generally reduces aggressive behaviours in pets. Neutered dogs are calmer and less likely to bite, attack or get into altercations at the dog park. Neutered cats don’t have the drive to mark and protect their territory and are less likely to spray or get into cat fi ghts;

Female cats go in and out of heat every three weeks between January and November. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, spaying your cat

will reduce her desire to escape to fi nd a mate, spraying or inappropriate elimination, howling and attracting unwanted male cats onto your property;

Spaying or neutering your pet reduces the likelihood of them developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers;

Having your pet sterilized also provides an opportunity to have other important health procedures performed, as necessary, such as an identifi cation tattoo or microchip or teeth cleaning. Spaying and neutering is done under a general anaesthetic, so your pet won’t be in pain.

If cost is a concern for you, check with your local SPCA. The SPCA provides assistance to low-income pet guardians where possible and many communities have low-cost spay/neuter funds administered through the local government. For more information on spaying and neutering your pet, visit spca.bc.ca.

Shooting the OrpheumVANCOUVER, B.C. – Despite rusty singing and dancing skills (putting it politely), I sauntered confi dently onto Vancouver’s vintage Orpheum Th eatre stage last week. No one applauded.

When Vancouver PhotoWalks, an online photography MeetUp, reserved a private two-hour tour to ‘shoot’ the interior of this historic Vancouver landmark the signup list instantly evolved into a waiting list.

Pre-shoot info from fearless lead-ers, Rob and Kelly, said: “A chance to photograph the lobbies, the theatre, the back-stage, the basement, the dressing rooms, the mezzanines, grand stair-cases, colonnades, arcades, murals, and other details in Baroque and Moorish revival styles, such as golden ornament, plasterwork, stonework, coff ered ceilings and many crystal chandeliers. Bring tripods and a wide angle lens”. Th ose who made the cut were not disappointed.

Welcomed by Rob Haynes, Chair of Vancouver Civic Th eatres Board, President of the BC Enter-tainment Hall of Fame and keeper of the Orpheum

keys, we were locked in and, as prom-ised, given carte blanche to click from foyer to dome.

Although now home to the Vancou-ver Symphony Orchestra, the Van-couver Bach Choir and the Vancouver Chamber Choir, the Orpheum origi-nally opened in 1927 as a vaudeville house.

In 1973 a public outcry saved the theatre from demolition, forcing the City of Vancouver to purchase the property from Famous Players for $3.9 million. Th e skill of architect Paul

Merrick, plus an injection of an additional $3.2 million, ensured the show would go on. Now man-aged by Van Civic Th eatres, it was refurbished in 2009, and is a designated National Heritage Site.

Opulently garbed in claret red seats (2,672 of them) and matching surrounding drapery, over 160 Czech crystal chandeliers highlight theatre details, such as the period dome, soaring colonnades and grand staircases. A warm combination of burnished gold and black tie the delightfully over-the-top confection together.

Spicing things up a bit (as any self-respect-ing historic structure should) are rumours of resident ghosts.

Lounging against the Coat Check, Haynes tells me a rather outgo-ing lass (a fl apper?) has been spotted perched

on the counter laugh-ing and holding court during a long-gone intermission.

From an era when smoking cigars was only allowed in the Gents, a fellow used to encountered smoking in there, but rumour has it he may have moved on.

Th e theatre houses many secrets, but, for me, one of the best was when Haynes told me every guy wire support-ing the dome was tuned to a particular note by a violin bow. Th is was the only way at the time designers found they could ensure each wire was precisely taut to cor-rectly hang, and support, the colour-ful artistry. Perhaps it aids the acoustics, too. A pulley system lowers the massive centre crystal chandelier for cleaning.

Standing in the Pro-jection Booth gazing down across the plush

expense to the audito-rium and stage, one has

to recall the endless famous stars and en-tertainers who have delighted audiences down the years. Among my personal favourites were Louis Arm-strong, Andrés Segovia, Victor Borge, Jack

Benny, Susan Hayward, Mitzi Gaynor, W.C Fields, and the marvel-ous Nana Mouskouri.

It was a pleasure and privilege to roam the Orpheum public and private areas, but Ron Haynes told me I’d nev-er fi nd the basement. Maybe next time…

Outside on Gran-ville Street remem-ber to glance down and read the famous names on the brass stars embedded in the Walk of Fame. Th at’s free – although the Smithe Street Orpheum entrance was created because that’s where the taxes were lower. Th at’s show business.

Th e cost for our group of 40 was $10 per person. Worth every plugged nickel.

For more informa-tion about the Or-pheum, upcoming events, and to book group tours call 604-665-3050. Wheelchair accessible. Th e Or-pheum entrances are 601 Smithe Street. and 884 Granville. Th e clos-est Skytrain station is Granville Street.
