Back to the future for the Clova?By Jennifer LangA public hearing date has been

set on a proposed agreement to preserve and restore one of Clover-dale’s most recognizable heritage landmarks – the Clova theatre.

On March 23, Surrey city coun-cil will seek public input on a proposed Heritage Re-vitalization Agreement (HRA) bylaw that’s re-quired before any reno-vations can be carried out by the building’s new owner.

Shuttered as a family-owned and operated movie house this past summer, the mid-centu-ry Streamline Moderne gem was designed by H. H. Simmons and built in 1947. It’s valued today as one of the fi rst modern buildings in Cloverdale built during the postwar era.

Th e Clova was gussied up with new signage and a burgundy, black and gold paint job in the mid-2000s, thanks to a dazzling make-

over for its starring role as a fi lming location for TV’s Smallville series.

Th e Feb. 23 planning report con-sidered by council says “fairly sig-nifi cant” changes were made to the building at the time.

Th e theatre was operated most recently as Th e Clova Cinema

(1992-2014). Th e opera-tor was unable to secure a long-term lease with the building’s owner, cutting short local Craig Burghardt’s dream of converting to a digital projection system, a move that would have ensured the Clova’s next chapter as a family-op-erated movie house.

CrossRidge Church had been renting the auditorium for Sunday morning services for several years before purchasing the building in March of 2014.

Th e HRA will ensure the new owners (Willingdon Charitable Holdings Society) will preserve and restore the heritage building, listed on the Surrey Heritage Reg-

ister since 1998.Property agent Bernie Scholz

was not available for comment by the Reporter’s press deadline. How-ever, last spring he said a build-

ing inspection revealed the Clova needs a new roof and repairs to the front canopy.

Th e HRA bylaw, which has the support of the Heritage Advisory

Commission, passed fi rst and sec-ond reading at the Feb. 23 council meeting, is a detailed conservation

MINISTRY OF FORESTSThe gypsy moth treatment zone takes in most of Cloverdale.

Spray treatment planned to thwart gypsy mothBy Jennifer LangTh e province will be conducting up to

four aerial pesticide spray applications over Cloverdale to combat the destructive gypsy moth.

A pesticide use permit to aerial spray 4,576 hectares in Surrey and another 204 hectares in South Delta has been issued to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natu-ral Resource Operations.

Between April 15 and June 30, the For-ests Ministry is planning up to four appli-cations of Foray 48B to control the moth.

Foray 48B contains the bacteria Btk and kills caterpillars aft er they ingest it but doesn’t harm humans, mammals, birds, fi sh, plants, reptiles, amphibians or other insects.

It’s approved for use on organic farms.

Btk is naturally pres-ent in the soil in B.C., and since 1961 has been ap-proved in Canada to kill gypsy moth larvae.

Residents were invited to an open house Tuesday at the Surrey Museum to learn more about the spray program.

Th e targeted areas in-clude most of Cloverdale, from the Lang-ley border between Highway 10 and 80 Avenue, and extending as far west as 144 Street, taking in Sullivan and eastern Pan-orama Ridge.

An additional 26-hect-are ground spray will also be done on a rural prop-erty due south of the 172 Street and 56 Avenue in-tersection.

Treatment dates are weather-dependent, and will be advertised closer to the fi rst application date.

Each treatment applica-tion will be completed be-fore 7:30 a.m.

Ministry offi cials are concerned about a growing gypsy moth infestation in the proposed treatment areas around 64 Av-

enue and 176 Street, between Highways 10, 99 and 91 in Delta.

Nearly 200 male European gypsy moths were caught in pheromone traps last summer in Cloverdale on trees along 64 Av-enue.

If left untreated, the destruc-tive moth could spread to new areas of the province by hitch-ing a ride on vehicles, containers, trains, port terminals and B.C. Ferries.

Th e moth is an introduced pest species. Th e caterpillars feast on tree leaves and can damage for-

ests, farms, and orchards.Large gypsy moth populations

have defoliated swaths of forests and residential areas in Ontario and the eastern U.S. in recent years, the ministry says.

Walk ‘feeds body and soul’

Caterpillars feast on tree leaves

By Jennifer LangFueled by hot coff ee and hearty stew, more than

200 people took to the streets of Cloverdale to raise money as part of the Coldest Night of the Year walk.

Th is year’s walk, held Feb. 21, raised more than $40,000 – money that will be used to help support the Cloverdale Community Kitchen.

Ingredients for the stew were provided by Save-On-Foods, and the meal was cooked up by volun-teers from the Cloverdale Community Kitchen, said organizer Jim Heuving, executive pastor of Pacifi c Community Church.

“Even McCafe set up their mobile unit and served us a full selection of hot beverages,” he add-ed. “It was a great night!”

Th irty teams took part. Local realtor Edith Ka-tronis and team were lead sponsor, contributing $2,500 and raising another $2,000.

“We are really thankful for the Katronis team,” Heuving said. “Th ey were outstanding!”

Based out of Pacifi c Community Church, the industrial-grade community kitchen is home to three existing programs assisting Cloverdale’s less fortunate.

Last year’s walk coincided with the kitchen’s

launch, and helped pay for a consultant who spoke with community organizations and individuals in Cloverdale about the direction of the kitchen.

Funds raised at this year’s walk – one of 60 walks organized by charities assisting homeless across Canada – will be used to bring in a full-time coor-dinator for the kitchen.

Th e goal is to broaden the number of programs off ered.

To Edith Katronis, the walk is important be-cause it directly helps and benefi ts the community – aft er all, people who are well fed and cared for are more productive. Th e community kitchen is also helping seniors and some children.

“Th is is something where you can see the re-sults,” she added.

“Th ese folk who serve meals to the needy are also there to talk to them and help a poor soul along who needs it. I call it feeding the body and soul.”

She notes the funds are well spent, because there are many volunteers who are donating their time.

“Cloverdale can be proud that a small com-munity like we are is successful in hosting such a worthwhile endeavour.”

Proceeds will help Cloverale Community Kitchen spread its reach

Opinions & Letters

CCNAMember

Realtors, prospective home-buyers and sellers, and others can stop hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued.

It’s never going to happen. Th e reason? It’s a major cash cow for the provincial govern-ment, needed to balance the budget and there’s nowhere else to raise that large chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes, and that’s not on for the BC Liberals.

Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going anytime soon, even

though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy.

Here’s how it shakes down, according to a recent article by Black Press regional reporter Jeff Nagel: Th e PTT consists of 1 per cent charged on the fi rst $200,000 of a property’s value and 2 per cent aft er that. Th at means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it changes hands.

Th is handy little calculation is not just a painful hit to the pocket book when purchasing a home — it’s a major source of revenue, generating $1.04 bil-lion in 2014.

Don’t think that’s a lot of cash? Well, consider that the PTT raises signifi cantly more than forestry — formerly the province’s number one indus-

try — which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties, which at $542 million, gen-erate about half of what the PTT does.

Th ese revenue numbers are interesting for another reason: Th ey show how important real estate is to B.C.’s ongoing fi nan-cial solidity. Without a strong real estate market, helped, no doubt, by record-low interest rates, the provincial coff ers would be much poorer.

Th e province also benefi ts from rising property values and while there are exemptions for family transfers and fi rst-time home buyers, it appears the property transfer tax is a neces-sary evil that raises millions to cover basic provincial services. A strong real estate industry and increased property val-ues, especially in single-family homes, are therefore critical to government budgeting — at least for now.

So unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay.

plan for the building, lo-cated at 5732 176 Street.

If approved, the plan will usher in some noticeable cosmetic changes to the build-ing’s exterior, including the paint scheme, which would revert to the Clo-va’s original colours.

Th e heritage consul-tant has recommended cottage cream and gloss black, historically ac-curate colours that are pre-approved by the City of Surrey, but may not please everyone.

“We support the con-cept of keeping Clova historic but members prefer the design and colour scheme as it now exists, rather than the original scheme which we consider fl at and boring,” Cloverdale Community Associa-tion Mike Bola wrote in a September letter to the city’s planning depart-ment. “Most residents of Cloverdale identify with the present look, which has existed for several decades, and few can recollect the Clova of long ago.”

Th e Clova’s conser-vation plan was draft ed according to recom-mendations made by heritage consultant Donald Luxton and As-sociates, who completed a report in July.

Th e theatre has been “drastically altered over the years,” the report says. “Fortunately, a number of original fea-tures and archival im-ages do exist, which will enable a more accurate restoration of the front facade.”

Recommendations include replacing all sig-nage installed above the marquee for Smallville with signage designed to look like the Clova’s original signs, down to

neon lettering and strip lighting.

Changes to the mar-quee, facade, windows, box offi ce, lighting and interior features are also set out in the HRA by-law. Th e wall sign on the north side of the build-ing would be preserved.

Restoration of the theatre must start with-in 90 days of the adop-tion of the agreement.

He was an expert in designing large, clear-span concrete struc-tures with truss roofs – a fi reproof feature for public buildings, including some of the large buildings on the PNE fairgrounds: the livestock barn and the garden auditorium.

In a region that’s lost innumerable heritage buildings, the Clova is also valuable because it’s a rare surviving ex-ample in Surrey of the Streamline Modern style, a variant of Art Deco. Characterized by rounded corners and smooth surfaces, the style is infl uenced by the design of airplanes, steamships and loco-motives.

Band-aid: Cadets call out for Highland help

By Jennifer LangCloverdale, the pipes are call-

ing you.Fans of pipe and drum bands

are urged to answer an appeal from a local cadet corps – the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders Royal Canadian Army Cadets. With help, they hope to realize their dream of stepping out on parade at community events, properly attired and in tune – and honour a long-standing Canadian tradi-tion.

Th ey’ve launched an online crowd-funding initiative at You-Caring.com to raise money for instruction and band uniforms.

Th ey’re looking to raise $30,000 by April, in time for parade season. Without instru-ments or highland gear, they cannot enter parades or partici-pate in community events like Remembrance Day services.

For the past year, some of the cadets have trained with the Sur-rey Seaforth Cadets to learn the bagpipes and drums – skills that are synonymous with Canada’s famed Seaforth Highlanders reg-iment and cadets.

But that instructional opportu-nity has now moved to Delta or Jericho Beach – both too far to travel on a weeknight for cadets who live in Abbotsford or Al-dergrove, says parent sponsoring committee member Karen Mur-phy Corr.

“A big part of the Scottish mili-tary tradition is, of course, hav-ing bagpipers and drummers as part of the corps,” says Corr, who has two sons enrolled.

Founded in 2010, the Langley-based corps has grown to more than 60 cadets from across the

region, including Cloverdale.Th e corps has had “tremen-

dous support from the Cloverdale community, since it was founded fi ve years ago, “especially the Clo-verdale Legion,” she says.

Members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6, “Have done so much for our cadets and we would really like to be able to give back,” Corr said.

“Our goal is to have a cadet pipe and drum band to repre-sent the corps at events like the Legion open house and the Clo-verdale Rodeo parade.”

To veterans like Mike Har-vey, who, like many throughout the Fraser Valley, served with

the Seaforth Highlanders in ac-tive duty, there’s an important connection with affi liated cadet corps.

“We have a bond,” he wrote the Langley Times earlier this year. As a youth, he joined a Seaforth Hi-glanders cadet corps.

“We trained in the Seaforth Armoury in Vancouver, our uni-forms being glengarries, blue tu-nics, kilts, sporrans and socks.”

At 16, Harvey left cadets to become a “boy” soldier during the Second World War, earning 70 cents a day pay. He became a paratrooper, was wounded, eventually winding up with the Seaforth Highlanders in Holland

during the last days of the war.“A splendid regiment it is, with

a history of courageous fi erce battles through Sicily, Italy, and Holland,” says Harvey, a member of RCL Branch 6 in Cloverdale.

When told by Th e Reporter of the 2277 Seaforth Cadets fund-raising appeal, he off ered a list of fundraising suggestions – from piping in guests at the Cloverdale Legion’s monthly pancake break-fasts and then taking up a col-lection plate, to having the band playing “Scotland A Brae” at the race track with an explanation over the loudspeaker as to why.

Or, he off ered, “A story in your paper concerning this and di-rected to all those with Scottish blood.”

But starting a pipe and drum band from the ground up isn’t cheap these days.

Th e cost of highland dress – kilts, hose, sporrans, tunics, and glengarry caps – is considerable. but putting that cost onto parents is an option the committee refus-es to consider.

Th e instruments also come very dear, but the corps is on its way: Th e parent committee has bought three Scottish bagpipes at $1,500 apiece, along with second hand drums (already in need of repair), sticks and harnesses.

Th e cadet program, for youth aged 12 to 18, is off ered at no cost.

Th e parent sponsoring com-mittee helps with extras, like instruments and cultural travel exchanges.

“As with the whole cadet pro-gram, the parent sponsoring

committee works hard to ensure that any youth who wants to participate never has to worry about cost as a barrier,” says Corr.

“We want to keep it that way.”Donations of cash or volunteer time at communi-

ty events, such as helping service clubs, are urgently requested.

Th e wish list includes everything from 10 sets of Highland dress plus accessories and two more sets of bagpipes, to drum repairs, decals and money to pay for instructional time.

Th ey’re also looking into the possibility of addi-tional cost savings by having kilts made in the style that was worn during the First World War.

Due to wartime rationing, the garments were pleated in such a way that they used far less fabric and were much less expensive to make, explained Corr.

Parents aim to keep costs down

Supermarket closure has seniors worriedBy Jennifer LangTh e MarketPlace IGA in Clover

Square Village shut its doors last week, but there’s no offi cial word on what anchor store might replace it – or when it would open.

Th at’s left downtown Cloverdale residents like John Masters – a senior who doesn’t drive – asking hard questions about where they’ll shop for groceries.

Masters, who lives in a seniors complex at 176A Street and 60 Avenue, says it’s simply too far to walk to the nearest full-service gro-cery store – the Save-On-Foods at Cloverdale Crossing (17745 64 Av-enue), which is on the other side of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds from

his home.“I can’t aff ord a taxi,” he said,

adding he’s aware of other resi-dents who don’t drive and relied on MarketPlace IGA, including peo-ple who use walkers.

“We were wondering how we will get our food,” said Masters, who contacted Th e Reporter hop-ing to learn if a new grocery store will be moving in.

While rumours abound – sug-gestions include Your Independent Grocer, an Ontario-based super-market chain with stores in Lang-ley, Coquitlam, Vancouver and Abbotsford – offi cial channels re-main silent.

Last month a representative

of H.Y. Louie Co., which in B.C. supplies IGA stores, which are in-dependently owned, directed Th e Reporter to the Cloverdale store manager and franchisee Ron Day. He was not able to disclose the name of the new tenant.

Th e mall, at 17700 56 Avenue, is owned by Clover Square Holdings, a holding company of Standard Life Insurance.

Barry Holmes, a property man-ager with Colliers International, was able to reveal in January that a new tenant has been lined up, but he wasn’t able to say more than that.

Contacted again this week, he said he was still not at liberty to

reveal the name of the new tenant, and could provide no timeline for when that might change.

Th e MarketPlace IGA has served Cloverdale residents since Novem-ber 1997.

About 35 employees are aff ected by the closure.

Downtown Cloverdale lost a cor-ner supermarket, Cloverdale Mar-ket at 58 Avenue and 176 Street, a couple of years ago.

Long time residents also recall the loss of Safeway from the former Cloverdale Shopping Plaza mall.

Your Independent Grocer is an Ontario-based supermarket chain with outlets in Langley and Co-quitlam, Vancouver and Abbots-ford.

Th ey’re owned by Loblaw Com-panies Ltd. the largest grocery chain in canada.

Th ere are 150 locations across the country, including Atlantic Canada, where Loblaws is convert-ing 41 of its Save Easy locations to Independent Grocer stores.

Th ere, the company didn’t antici-pate staffi ng changes, according to Th e PEI Guardian.

With no replacement yet announced as MarketPlace IGA shuts its doors, local seniors wonder where they’ll shop

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Q:

A:

What exactly is a naturopathic doctor? What can naturopathic medicine do for me?

Naturopathic doctors receive similar training to medical doctors, with the main difference being how we approach a patient’s case and the treatments we use. We aim to treat the whole person, and to fi nd the root cause of illness rather than treating symptoms.For instance, if a patient has headaches, I focus on fi nding the cause rather than having them take painkillers. Treatments used by naturopathic doctors include clinical nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, vitamin injections, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling. Since all naturopathic doctors are unique, I offer 15 minute complimentary consultations to provide the opportunity to meet me and have your questions answered about how I would approach your health concern.

If your mortgage is coming up for renewal, this is a great opportunity to not only get a great interest rate but also to determine what type of mortgage now best suits your current situation.Start by considering:1. Do you plan on moving in the near future?

If yes, then an open mortgage or one that’s portable could give you the fl exibility you need. Some mortgage lenders have more fl exibility than others.

2. Do you want to pay down your mortgage more quickly? Consider an accelerated payment schedule or a lump sum payment as it could save thousands in interest over the life of the mortgage.

3. Is your monthly cash ow a little tight? Increasing your amortization will lower your payments and free up cash for other needs or consider a refi nance to eliminate interest debts.

4. Do you want to consider some long-awaited home renovations? The best time to make changes to your mortgage is usually upon renewal.

At Invis-Feisal & Associates, we can speak to you about any concerns you may have, including interest rate trends, future plans and other fi nancial decisions that may affect your mortgage requirements. Be prepared so that you know what to do as your mortgage renewal approaches.

Q:

A:Here are just a few of the benefi tsthat can be expected from training in Taekwondo:Fitness & Coordination – Strength, coordination, fl exibility and endurance are built through a progressivedevelopment of technical skills that works both the left and right sides of the body equally.Self Defense - Martial Arts training teaches the practitioner how to effectively use body movement which when combined with the strength and fl exibilitydeveloped can produce incredible results in a self defense situation. This knowledge also gives confi dence which makes it less likely that you will be targeted by a potential attacker.Self Confi dence - Confi dence does not come naturally for many people but can be developed through training and practice. Martial Arts develops confi dence through positive learning methods combined with an emphasis on goal setting. Confi dence increases as students overcome challenges to accomplish their training goals. This confi dence and discipline will also carry over to other aspects of life resulting in greater success in learning, leadership and physical endeavors.

Q:A:

Why do I need a crown?A crown, also called a cap, is a type of dental restoration that covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape, size and function. It is a hollowed out cover and It’s purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth, protecting it from further damage. You may need a crown if you have had a root canal, a very large fi lling or a broken tooth. Crowns can also be used to cover a discoloured or misshapen tooth. A tooth that has been fi xed with a crown looks and works very much like a natural tooth. Crowns are made of several types of materials that may consist of metal alloys, ceramics, composite resin and porcelain or a combination. As long as you keep your oral health in good condition you can expect a well made crown to last 10 or more years.

HEALTHY PET FOOD

Q:

A:

Is my cat getting enough moisture and what are the health concerns of dehydration?

Cats are simply not big water drinkers, that’s a fact. In nature, the moisture content they need would be provided by their food. Cats in the wild hunt and eat prey (birds, mice, etc) and that prey is 75% water!

Commercial dry food alone does not provide what they need for urinary tract, bladder and kidney health. These systems require constant fl ushing and can be greatly supported by adding moisture to the diet. There are many things you can do to introduce moisture into your cat’s meals. Consider switching to a species appropriate raw diet or start with adding a high quality canned or rehydrated food to supplement the kibble. Come and see us to get more ideas on achieving optimal health in your feline companion.

SENIORS’ LIVING ALTERNATIVES

Q:

A: Have you ever seen someone try to talk their mom out of behaving poorly? Have you experienced embarrassment because of the things your dad says that he never would have said 10 years ago? These changes in usual behavior are the signs of a dementia occurring in your parents. Unfortunately, grown children are unprepared and sometimes unwilling to recognize or accept such changes in their parents.

The reason mom or dad behaves differently than you would expect is that they have a disease. A real disease that impairs their mental abilities. They don’t like the changes they experience. Sometimes they don’t even know the changes occur.

So why don’t grown children get it! Well, lots of personal reasons such as their relationship with their parents. But most of all because the “symptoms” of dementia don’t look like a disease. There is no bandage, no surgery date, no fever.

All grown children would be able to recognize and handle dementia in their parents if the condition was seen as and believed to be a disease, not just errant behavior. This approach enables you to understand the behavior and not kick against it. You and your folks will feel more comfortable because of the change in perspective.

DENTIST

Q:A:

Why do I need my wisdom teeth removed?Wisdom teeth that are healthy and in the right position usually don’t cause problems. However there are many problems that can occur with these teeth. Often wisdom teeth break through your gums only partway and cause a fl ap of gum tissue to grow over them where food gets trapped leading to an infection. They can come in crooked or facing the wrong direction because the jaw isn’t large enough to give them the room they need. This can cause damage to your adjacent teeth. Your wisdom teeth can also get stuck (impacted) in your jaw and not be able to break through your gums at all. Impacted teeth can often form a cyst around them which causes damage to the bone or roots. Lastly, they are so far back in your mouth or crowded that you have trouble cleaning around them. Most dentists recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth in your late teens, because waiting until you’re older can increase the risk of problems.

Fungal infections affecting the nails can be a challenge! Other than ensuring you keep the affected nail clean and dry, there is a compounded topical option that we have had very positive feedback on. The anti-fungal agent, itraconazole is delivered in a base of ibuprofen and DMSO and is applied twice daily. With diligent use, this prescription nail lacquer has helped many of our patients clear up their pesky fungal nail infections for good.

Surrey First slate spends $1.2m to sweep council

By Kevin DiakiwSurrey First spent almost

$2 million securing every seat on city council, according to recently released campaign disclosure statements.

Of that, $1.18 million was spent during the campaign pe-riod, with the rest spent prior.

Th e expense eclipses that of Mayor Linda Hepner’s Surrey First competitors.

Mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode’s One Surrey coalition spent $347,000 during the cam-paign (and only $5,720 prior), and Safe Surrey, with Doug McCallum as mayoral hope-ful, spent just over $70,000. He spent another $70,000 prior the campaign.

Th e $1.2 million spent by Surrey First during a campaign is a new high-water mark for the organization, which spent $662,000 in the 2011 election, when it also swept council.

Th is year’s contributors to the Surrey First campaign read like a who’s who of the development industry, as $902,000 of the campaign war chest was created by corporations.

David Balsor contributed $25,000 to the campaign, while

Robert Bosa gave the coalition $21,500.

Other big contributors include: Bhupinder Ajula ($20,000), Surrey Firefi ghters Association ($32,600), Gurved Sandhu ($15,000) and Ralph Berezan ($13,000).

Th e vast majority of the campaign expenditures ($301,000) went to salaries and wages. Research and poll-ing gobbled $163,000 of the campaign funds, while radio, TV and newspaper ads came to $174,000.

Contributors to Rasode’s One Surrey’s campaign was a mix of union groups, developers and members of the commu-nity. Larger donors included Bosa Properties ($14,000), BC Maritime Employers ($12,000), United Steelworkers ($10,000), Value Industries ($10,000), and the Rasode family ($10,000).

Th e bulk of Rasode’s expen-ditures went to “other” advertis-ing ($120,000) and research and polling ($50,000).

Former Mayor Doug Mc-Callum’s Safe Surrey Coalition received its larger donations from Bill’s Developments (Bob Cheema) for $9,600, Crown

Distributors ($5,000), and Wendy and Rodney Cameron ($5,000).

Safe Surrey spent almost half of its contributions on salaries and wages ($30,000) and “other” campaign expenses ($15,800).

Surrey First Education (SFE), which swept all the Sur-rey school board seats, spent $35,000 in its campaign.

Th e largest donor by far was the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which do-nated $11,000 to the coalition. It represents the only union contribution to the SFE cam-paign. Th ere was also $16,700 from corporations and $7,500 from individuals.

Mail theft re-routes frustrate residents

By Tracy HolmesA South Surrey man is calling on Canada Post

and police to start using video surveillance in the fi ght against damage to and theft from community mailboxes.

“Th is has been going on for 20 years in my neigh-bourhood,” Murray McFadden said. “It’s not getting any better, and, of course, it’s going to get a whole lot worse.

“To me, (installing surveillance cameras) makes sense.”

Th eft and damage issues with community mail-boxes have made headlines in recent months, as residents venturing out to collect their mail discov-er superboxes that have been either pried open and cleaned out, or hauled off in their entirety.

It’s a problem throughout the Lower Mainland, with those on the front lines saying it has been particularly prevalent in South Surrey, Cloverdale, Newton and Langley.

Stephen Gale, president of the Fraser Valley West local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said the problem has become a daily issue.

“It’s not getting any better in the short-term,” Gale said. “It normally spikes, then calms down. Th is time, it doesn’t seem to be calming down.

“It didn’t help that… one of the TV (news) shows pretty much showed everybody how to get into these boxes.”

Gale said he is not convinced video surveillance is the way to go.

“It doesn’t stop the crooks, they just hide their faces and still break in,” he said.

In addition to the logistics of installing the cam-eras, there is the issue of privacy, he added.

“Anytime a camera goes up anywhere, it’s an is-sue,” he said. “I just don’t think that’s a practical so-lution.”

Canada Post spokesperson Anick Losier declined to confi rm if video surveillance is among measures being considered by a task forceestablished to deal with the issue.

She cited concern that disclosing any of the pre-ventative tactics could inadvertently end up helping the culprits.

A Surrey RCMP spokesperson said only that “all possibilities” are being explored to improve mail safety, and that an offi cer was to meet with a Canada Post security representative last week.

While Losier did not have specifi cs on the num-ber of mailboxes aff ected, Gale estimated that on any given day, “hundreds” of residents are having to attend either the White Rock Letter Carrier Depot or the Cloverdale depot to pick up their mail, where it is being held pending repair or replacement of their community mailbox.

For some, it is a minimum 40-minute round-trip drive, and Gale said not everyone is thrilled with the inconvenience.

One man said that the line up recently at the White Rock depot – located in South Surrey in the 15400-block of 24 Avenue – was 10 to 12 people long.

“Th ere’s at least one situation every day,” Gale said, referring to times when managers are called to deal with upset customers.

He appealed to residents to have patience.“We know there’s lots of lineups,” he said. “Th e

staff that are working there are doing their best. Th ey have nothing to do with the break-ins, so please don’t yell at them.”

He suggested people with concerns to contact their MPs.

All-in-one multi camera explored as security option

By Jennifer LangCloverdale resident

Gary Hee says he was inspired to build a bet-ter security camera sys-tem aft er reading about recent home invasions in Surrey – including last month’s attack on Steve Fonyo.

Hee’s Night Owl proj-ect combines four night surveillance cameras in one, giving an all-angle view of suspicious activity.

Th ieves wearing hooded jackets over their heads can elude identifi cation on single overhead security cam-eras, he pointed out, making it diffi cult for police to catch the

culprits.Hee’s unit can be

connected to computer monitors or a DVR-W

recorder with a monitor device.

Hee, who owns his own business, Para-

mount Computer Ltd., mounted his prototype to his fence (pictured).

Fonyo, 49, a cancer survivor who lost his leg to the disease, was 19 when he completed his run across Canada, raising money for can-cer research.

On Feb. 13, three people broke into Fonyo’s home in the 11000-block of 136 street. He was stabbed, and taken to hospital.

Anyone with infor-mation about the stab-bing incident is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

GARY HEE PHOTOCameras in four directions make it diffi cult for thieves to evade detection and identifi cation, Gary Hee says.

It’s going to be a warBy Rick KupchukAft er making

school history just six days earlier, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers didn’t let up at the Fraser Valley Senior 4A Boys high school basketball tourna-ment, placing a very impressive second in the largest zone in the province.

Th e Panthers, aft er clinching a berth at the B.C. tournament for the fi rst time since 1953 earlier in the week, defeated the Semiah-moo Totems 96-79 in an all-Surrey semifi nal game last Friday at the Langley Events Centre.

Saturday evening, they gave the eventual champion Yale Lions a test before falling 88-78.

“It was a very positive game,” said Panthers head coach Raj Bagry aft er Saturday’s game. “Th is is big, and the boys played hard. Yale is a very good team, very well-coached, great kids on the fl oor.

“But we have a bigger game coming up in a couple of weeks.”

Th e Panthers trailed by 10 points at the half, and were down by 14 late in the third quarter before a 13-point run had them to within one with roughly eight min-utes to play. Th e Lions regrouped, went 11-for-15 from the foul line in the fourth quarter, and held on to their lead.

Six-foot-fi ve forward Iqwinder Gill with 14 points, guard Brett Norris with 17, and for-ward Justin Mason with 16 paced the Panthers off ense.

Norris earned a second-team all-star selection, while Gill and Mason were fi rst-team choices. All three Grade 12 players earned praise from Bagry for their leadership and play during the tournament.

Lord Tweedsmuir, now ranked 10th in the province, among 4A

teams, will await the draw for the 16-team B.C. championship tournament March 11-14, also at the Langley Events Centre.

“Hopefully, we don’t get a shaky draw to start,” Bagry said with a laugh.

“But we should have a good draw. Aft er the fi rst round, it’s going to be a war. Any way you look at it, you have to beat the best. It’s going to be tough, so we have to play tough.”

Th e Semiahmoo Totems will also be in Langley for the B.C. championships aft er they sputtered to a fourth place fi nish at the Fraser Valley tour-nament.

Aft er putting up more than 100 points in two victories early in the tournament to secure their fi rst B.C. championship ap-

pearance in 38 years, Semiahmoo lost twice and fi nished fourth in the Fraser Valley.

Aft er their semi-fi nal loss to Lord Tweedsmuir, they were drubbed 103-70 by the Terry Fox Ravens on Saturday.

“It’s a little bit of complacency, a little bit of people thinking we’re going to the BC’s so we don’t have to compete as much anymore,” shrugged Totems head coach Ed Lefurgy. “I’m really worried about it, so we need to address that. We need to get back playing loose and playing for fun, cheering on our teammates.”

It was the second half that did Semiahmoo in against the Ravens. Th e South Surrey school led 24-23 aft er one quarter and trailed just 44-37 at the half.

But Terry Fox ham-

mered the Totems for 33 points in the third quarter, draining nine three-point shots for a 24-point cushion with 10 minutes to play.

Top scorers for Semiahmoo included fi rst-team all-star Pat-rick Dujmovic with18 points, and second-team all-star Brian Spanier and Elias Ellison with 14 apiece.

Aside from the play of his side, a fourth place fi nish won’t help the Totems when the draw is announced for the tournament.

“We’re not gonna have the best draw so we have to get back to practice and change our attitude a little bit,” said Lefurgy. “We got to get back to what made us success-ful, and we haven’t done any of the things that made us successful for the last two games.”

Study claims savings will off set costs of transit tax

By Jeff NagelMetro Vancouver mayors say

their plan for transit upgrades would save residents much more money over the long run than they’d pay in extra sales tax if this spring’s referendum on the proposal passes.

A report commissioned by the mayors estimates the sav-ings for a typical family at $360 per year by 2030 in combined fuel, vehicle and other costs, including the value of time savings.

It estimates that advantage would climb to $1,100 per year by 2045 versus a base case sce-nario without the proposed upgrades and worsening con-gestion as Metro’s population grows.

Th ose are net savings minus the $125 per year an average household would pay as a re-sult of the extra 0.5 per cent sales tax to be levied in Metro Vancouver.

Two thirds of the estimated savings are attributed to re-

duced travel time, while one third is the result of direct reductions in out-of-pocket trans-portation costs.

Th e mayors’ council released only a four-page summary of HDR Consulting’s fi nd-ings without pro-viding details on methodology.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore predicted some house-holds will save even more – an estimated $10,000 a year over and above HDR’s estimates – if they are able to give up a vehi-cle as improved transit service arrives.

“More people will have the option to use the bus, which is a less expensive way of getting around than driving,” Moore said.

He said even drivers will spend less time on the road

and money on gas and maintenance because of conges-tion relief.

Transit im-provements – in-cluding a 25 per cent increase in bus service, new B-Line express bus routes and new rapid transit lines in Vancouver and Surrey – are ex-pected to greatly increase the num-

ber of households in the re-gion that live close enough to frequent transit service to rely heavily on it.

Th e mayors’ council esti-mates round-trip travel times by transit will be cut by at least 40 minutes between cer-tain town centres, including Maple Ridge-Cloverdale and Coquitlam-Langley, a route that would be served by new B lines.

No campaign head Jordan

Bateman called the report “fl imsy.”

He said it doesn’t take into account the opportunity cost of how families might benefi t if they weren’t subjected to the extra tax and could instead spend that money on diff erent priorities or invest it.

“Th e mayors refuse to ac-knowledge this is a regressive tax that hurts poorer families more than richer families,” Bateman said.

He said poor families can’t think decades down the road because “they’re trying to put groceries on the table this week” and added it may be risky for planners to use such a long horizon as well.

“No one knows what the world is going to look like in 30 years,” Bateman said, suggest-ing self-driving cars may end up carrying many people some day instead of public transit.

Party bus licensing tightened upBy Tom FletcherRelatives of a teenage

girl who died aft er tak-ing drugs on a “party bus” ride applauded changes made last week to tighten licensing reg-ulations for limousine operators.

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone an-nounced an overhaul of limousine licensing that will require each limousine or bus with perimeter seating to go through its own inspec-tion and hold a licence. Th is replaces a “general authorization” limou-sine licence that allowed party bus operators to work anywhere in B.C. and add vehicles to their fl eet at any time.

Stone said strict li-censing and display of a special plate will allow police to know where party buses are operating so they can be checked. Th e chang-es are to take eff ect by May, before high school graduation events that are a mainstay of the party bus business.

Danielle Raymond and her mother Julie attended the announce-ment, calling it part of the reforms they have sought since Danielle’s sister Shannon died in July 2008 aft er drink-ing and then boarding

a party bus where she took the street drug ec-stasy.

Shannon’s death at age 16 was the fi rst in a series of tragedies with party buses, which have expanded to 4,000 ve-hicles in B.C. Danielle said her own research showed companies ad-vertising open bars on board.

“Basically their whole business operates around facilitating the minors who use them to get hammered, for lack

of a better term,” she said.

In February 2013, 16-year-old Ernest Azoadam died on a party bus in Surrey. In November of that year, a 17-year-old girl from Abbotsford was dumped at a truck stop an assaulted aft er a trip on a party bus.

NDP transportation critic George Heyman echoed the Raymonds’ suggestion to consider requiring chaperones on party buses to make

sure under-age drinking or drug use don’t occur. Th at’s part of pending legislation in Washing-ton state, where party buses are allowed to serve alcohol to those old enough to drink.

Heyman said the gov-ernment should also require safe drop-off locations for the buses,

which now drop off pas-sengers at bars and then pick them up later to go to another bar.

“One of the roles of the chaperones would be to ensure that no drinking takes place on party buses, period,” he said.
