Heritagehall falls

By Jennifer LangOne of Surrey’s oldest heritage

buildings, Loyal Orange Lodge No. 1471, has been torn down.

Its lifetime spanned three centu-ries and it survived a move to Surrey Centre Cemetery, where it sat for two decades awaiting restoration.

Last week, with no rescuer on the horizon and its walls bowing with rot, the hall was torn down by the City of Surrey.

Built in 1891, the hall was one of the last surviving institutional buildings from Surrey’s pioneer past, serving an important role in the settlement and further development of the city’s cul-ture as the focus of community life for early protestant settlers.

Th e tear-down ended nearly two decades of frustrated eff orts to fi nd a way to preserve and restore the his-toric hall, listed on the City of Surrey’s heritage register in 2004.

It was relocated from its original site a few blocks east on 60 Ave. in 1993 in order to save it from demo-lition when the property was being redeveloped.

According to Don Luymes, Manager

of Community Planning for the City of Surrey, the hall was moved to the cemetery as a temporary measure.

Th e idea was to buy time while a more permanent use could be thought of – ideally fi nding a purchaser willing to take on the restoration and preser-vation project, and secure a new lease on life for the building.

Th at’s happened to several historic counterparts in the Five Corners area, including the Boothroyd House (1875) at 168 St. and 60 Ave., which

‘Glitch’ blamed for heritage demoBy Jennifer LangA glitch in the system

is being blamed for allowing demolition to proceed on another heritage site in Clover-dale.

Th e Brown House at

17555 56 Ave., listed on the city’s heritage in-ventory, was torn down in January, accord-ing to minutes from a recent Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission meeting.

“Due to a glitch in the system, the heritage sta-tus of the Brown House was not noted by staff and thus not referred to the commission for

was saved and restored, fi nding new life as a commercial building.

For a time, the post-relocation future of the hall looked promising.

Th e city collected funds from developers in the North Clover-dale Neighbourhood Concept Area to relocate the building to a permanent site, but even that route proved frustrating.

It would have cost tens of thou-sands of dollars to move the build-ing even a short distance away, such as adjacent to the Surrey Mu-seum – and, because of its height, the power lines along the route would have had to be moved.

Various Surrey Heritage Advi-sory Commissions explored diff er-ent options, including reaching out to other surviving Orange Order chapters, but none came to frui-tion, he said.

“It sat, and it sat, and it sat on the cemetery grounds,” he said.

Th e death knell came with a 2012 assessment by a heritage building expert who found it would cost around $400,000 to rehabilitate and properly restore the building.

“Th e city didn’t have that kind of money for it, so it sat,” Luymes said.

Meanwhile, it became a growing eyesore, home to pigeons and gulls, and beset by woodpeckers, who

seemed to enjoy drilling holes in the wood siding.

When the heritage commis-sion reconsidered the hall earlier this year, it decided the building couldn’t be saved.

“We would have loved to fi nd the right purchaser who would take the building on, but the build-ing continued to deteriorate,” he added.

Th e building was so rotten, a col-lapse was imminent, potentially endangering the lives of the chil-dren walking home from school using a shortcut through the heri-tage site.

Th e building was dismantled so it can be documented, with some portions being salvaged for future use.

Th e demolition and salvage crews tried to save what they could.

“Th ey pushed it over gently,” Luymes said. “You couldn’t take it apart. It was in an advanced state of disrepair.”

Th e sign – Loyal Orange Order No. 1471 – is going to the Surrey Museum, where it can be put on display.

Any boards that are salvage-able will be sold. Another idea is to store the good wood, possibly at Mound Farm Park, and create bird boxes and owl nesting boxes – a fitting end, considering barn owls had used the building to nest in.

“It seemed like an appropriate re-use,”

Luymes said the commission has approved a recommendation to use the left over funds collected for the Loyal Orange Lodge on other heritage projects in Clo-verdale. Chief among them is a long-term goal to preserve and potentially relocate the original 1891 municipal hall, located on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds at the corner of 176 St. and 60 Ave.

Benevolent originsTh e Orange Order is a protes-

tant fraternal organization that has its roots in northern Ireland, and played a large role in the his-tory of Canada, where it helped newcomers and settlers, organiz-ing community and benevolent activities.

Some of early Surrey Centre’s most prominent citizens founded Lodge No. 1471, which origi-nated in Langley before forming a Surrey Centre branch: George Boothroyd, Rev. William Bell, Abraham Huck, Henry Th rift and Th omas Shannon, according to HistoricPlaces.ca.

comment,” it says. “Staff not-ed they are investigating the cause of the glitch and will work to rectify the issue.”

Th e Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce had hoped the house would be saved. Th e late Bill Reid, past executive director of the chamber of commerce, said in 2013 he hoped the Brown house would be moved, and possibly used as heritage of-fi ce space.

“Th is is the last bastion of heritage homes in the core of Cloverdale at the moment,” he said, referring to recent losses.

According to the City of Surrey, a listing on the city’s heritage register isn’t the same as heritage protection or des-ignation – a building can only be protected through a bylaw, heritage revitalization agree-ment or restrictive covenant.

Th e owner may redevelop

the site or make alterations; however, if a demolition or al-teration is proposed, the City of Surrey can place an order for temporary protection up to 60 days, initiating a process where the site can be looked

at in more detail, and discus-sions with the owner can take place.

Th ere are around 200 places listed on the Surrey Heritage Register and just over 60 pro-tected heritage sites, including

a number in Cloverdale and area: the 1881 town hall at 17635 60 Avenue on the Clo-verdale Fairgrounds (home to the B.C. Vintage Truck Mu-seum); the 1912 municipal hall at 17671 56 Ave., which houses the Surrey Archives; and both Christ Church and Christ Church Cemetery on Old McClellan Road (next to the Surrey Centre Cemetery).

Although it had been listed on the Community Heritage Registry in 1998, heritage sta-tus also didn’t save the Clover-dale United Church manse at 6533 168 Street. Demolition permits for three structures on the property, including the manse, built in 1905, were issued.

In this case, the heritage fl ag wasn’t noted by staff because there were diff erent address-es for each of the structures, and a demolition permit was issued without the commis-sion’s knowledge.

Nearly a full sweep for Lord TweedsmuirDefending champions fail to hold onto coveted Bed Pan trophy

By Jennifer LangTh ere has been a

major upset at the Clo-verdale Bed Races. Defending champion Turkey’s Party Markers went down to stunning defeat.

Th e successive fi ve-time bed pan champion in the men’s division was knocked out of the fi nals in an evening dominated by teams from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

In a close race, the Lord Tweedsmuir boys track team crossed the fi nish line ahead of LT’s boys soccer team in the men’s fi nal to take the 2015 bed pan title, to deafening cheers.

Th e Lord Tweedsmuir ladies track team de-feated the Green Party’s women’s team for the Chamber Pot trophy in another thrilling fi nal May 14 in downtown Cloverdale.

Highland House ran away with the Centre of the Universe trophy in the mixed team di-

vision, defeating the staff team from Lord Tweedsmuir, preventing a three-category sweep by the high school.

Th e mixed division

was the largest at this year’s contest, held on 176A Street between 57 and 58A Avenues.

Cloverdale Pharma-save – dubbed the “Pill

Pushers” – earned the trophy for Best Dressed for their team’s blend of coloured tinsel wigs and lab coats.

A dark day for educationTo the editor;Re: “B.C. government wins appeal on class

size,” April 30, CloverdaleReporter.comTh e court ruling against teachers was a

dark day for unionism, our children and our future as a society; we can’t be support-ed by an uneducated, unemployable next generation.

Th e Liberals’ Bill 22 is the culprit of today’s legal battles. It set a precedent.

Previously negotiated language was struck out by the stroke of a pen. A generation of children have graduated from a system that has been and continues to be underfunded, held together by dedicated, all too oft en stressed out professionals.

Class size and composition is what pro-

tects teaching and learning conditions. Any-one who says otherwise is misinformed. Can we put one nurse in charge of 20 patients and expect good care?

Th ere must be class limits In order to teach all children well. It is a disservice to a special needs child when a teacher is unable to carry out an individual education plan.

Th ose vulnerable children require special-ized programs in order to succeed. It is an irrational requirement that a teacher come up with seven diff erent programs. If we want excellence, teachers must be able to carry out those IEPs.

If we don’t limit the number of special needs students in a class, there isn’t enough physical space for all their educational as-sistants. Now, children do not get the hours of support they are entitled, as one educa-

tional assistant is oft en shared. Parents know that teachers are fi ghting for kids, not their own comfort, and the millions spent by the Liberals to change this reality during the last strike proved ineff ective.

Many parents of special needs have had enough and as a group, they are also get-ting ready to legally fi ght the Liberals in the courts for proper education of their children.

It is undemocratic for governments to re-nege on collective agreements. It’s vital for teachers to fi ght this at the Supreme Court of Canada.

I believe there is whole hearted support from all parents and for that matter teachers and workers across Canada.

Th e horrifi c earthquake in Nepal has prompted a wave of generos-ity from Canadians, which is very heartening.

For the next month, the federal government has promised to dou-ble contributions made to Canadian-registered relief agencies that are working to help people who have been displaced by the earth-quake, which took place on April 25. It is a good incentive to give generously.

Here in B.C., there are lessons we can learn from the Nepal earth-quake. While there are vast diff erences in building standards be-tween Nepal and B.C., it is important to point out how dangerous multi-storey buildings can be when a quake strikes.

While newer buildings in B.C. are built to withstand strong earth-quakes, older ones are not.

Knowing exactly what to do is important, but perhaps equally as important is knowing what would likely happen to the building you live or work in, should a powerful earthquake strike.

We will have a strong earthquake here at some time. Th e fault lines, as in Nepal, are nearby. Roads, airports, rail lines and other trans-portation arteries can suff er severe damage in earthquakes. Th at can mean help will be a long time in arriving. It is important to have a supply of water, medical supplies, food to eat and plans for shelter, because it is entirely possible that you will be cut off from assistance for two or three days.

Also important is a means of communication. Having a landline telephone as a backup isn’t a bad idea here, where landlines are easily available. Access to information is also important. If the power is out, how will your computer or cellphone be charged? Do you have access to a battery-powered radio, and fl ashlights?

Most of the issues that keep people safe in earthquakes aren’t big ones — but they do require thinking ahead. Th e Nepal earthquake is a good reminder of that.

Surrey RCMP are launching a second set of neighbourhood safety forums at local schools, hoping to further engage com-munities.

George Greenaway Elementary (17285 61A Ave.) is hosting a session this Th ursday night for residents of the Greenaway and Cowtown neighbour-hoods.

It gets underway at 6:30 p.m. May 21.

More than 500 Surrey residents turned out to the fi rst series in the Mounties’ Neighbour-hood Safety Campaign, which launched in January.

“For crime preven-tion to be truly ef-fective, it requires a coordinated eff ort between residents and police,” Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell said. “We are looking forward to connecting with more residents and address-ing crime concerns in those areas.”

Th e sessions provide residents with updates on local crime trends and current policing initiatives, information on property crime and how to report crime and suspicious activity.

Participants will also learn how they can play a role in crime preven-tion.

website at www.surrey.rcmp.ca, and click on ‘Neighbourhood Safety Campaign” under “Po-licing Highlights.” You may also call the crime prevention coordinator in your area by contact-ing your local Surrey RCMP district offi ce.

Secondary suite owners fl ock to register units

By Kevin DiakiwOwners of secondary suites are

fl ocking to city hall en masse to regis-ter their additional dwellings in order to avoid stiff fi nes.

Some registered before having to pay a penalty fee, some did not.

In the fi rst four months of this year, Surrey bylaws have issued $1,000 fi nes to 155 diff erent homeowners.

Surrey changed its zoning bylaw in 2010 to allow one suite per home.

Th e city introduced a $1,000 fi ne for those who did not register and homeowners headed to the city in big numbers to get them listed.

Th ere are now 25,890 suites and 1,074 coach homes registered with the city.

Not all of those homeowners have come to the city to have the buildings brought up to B.C. Building Code yet.

Th at has been a slow process.In 2011, Th e Leader reported that

a year aft er one suite was allowed per home, only one owner had come for-ward to bring the unit up to code.

As of this month, 2,844 suite own-ers have applied for permits to bring

them up to code.Jean LaMontagne, Surrey’s general

manager of planning and develop-ment, said the city is working with the province to allow for some “equiva-lencies” in the code to reduce the cost for homeowners.

An example would be that if a home has sprinklers, the province could re-lax the requirement for fi re barriers, as it might be considered a redundant system.

LaMontagne said he anticipates the province and city to come to some agreement on requirements late this year, or early in 2016.

Secondary suites have been a con-troversial issues in Surrey for nearly 40 years.

Aft er decades of trying to fi nd a so-lution, the 2010 rezoning was the fi rst time a city-wide solution had been implemented.

However, bringing all of the units up to code is expected to take more time.

MARTIN VAN DEN HEMEL / RICHMOND REVIEWThe 85-foot fi shing boat Western Crusader capsized shortly before 8 a.m. May 12, leaking a light fl uid into the water that’s believed to be engine oil or bilge oil and deemed non-recoverable.

‘Minor spill’ in Fraser from overturned boat

By Jeff NagelA small amount

of engine or bilge oil

that escaped into the Fraser River from a capsized fi shing boat at a marina in Richmond triggered a Coast Guard-led pollution response May 12.

Th e light sheen, visible down the river from Shelter Island Marina as far as the Massey Tunnel, was deemed to be non-re-coverable, according to Port Metro Vancouver.

It came just over a month aft er a spill of bunker fuel oil from a grain freighter in Eng-lish Bay fouled beaches and led to strong

criticism of the Coast Gxuard response.

Th is time, a port patrol vessel and Coast Guard hovercraft were on scene quickly by 8 a.m., and absorbent pads and a contain-ment boom were deployed to contain any more leaking con-taminants.

Coast Guard spokesman Dan Bate said the “minor spill” came from the 80-foot fishing boat Western Crusader, which had empty fuel tanks and had just been moved here

from Campbell River.Premier Christy

Clark, who had suggested Ottawa might relinquish spill response authority to B.C. aft er the April 8th Marathassa spill, said it appears the Coast Guard performed at the standard expected this time.

“So far we’re satis-fi ed,” Clark said. “Th e response, I’m told, was quick, and the spill was quite small.”

Green light, rules for pot producers in ALR

By Jeff NagelTh e province has

given the green light for medical marijuana to be produced in the Ag-ricultural Land Reserve despite objections from some cities.

Along with the for-mal change to the ALR regulation making medical cannabis an al-lowed use is a standard that municipalities are expected to follow in passing local bylaws to control any federally li-censed commercial pot producers within their boundaries.

Delta, Langley Town-ship, Abbotsford and Kelowna must have ap-proval from the prov-ince on any bylaws they pass aff ecting farmland, so Victoria has a ham-mer to force them to comply.

Other municipalities may have a somewhat freer hand in passing restrictions but they cannot prohibit licensed pot farms outright.

Th e province’s bylaw standard sets out set-backs from streams and property lines, a maxi-mum footprint size for the facility, and mini-mum distances from

parks, schools and ur-ban or ALR boundaries.

Th e agriculture min-istry said it expects all local bylaws to comply with the bylaw stan-dard and the amended regulation by early fall, adding it sought to en-sure as much ALR land is used for agriculture as possible while balanc-ing other requirements.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, one of the municipal lead-ers who opposed al-lowing the construction of heavily fortifi ed pot factories on ALR land at all, said Friday he is studying the new rules.

Froese said the prov-ince appears to have taken into account many issues raised by

municipalities, but add-ed he is still concerned cities will face higher costs to regulate the fa-cilities and police quiet

country roads for any criminals they may at-tract.

“Th e biggest concerns we have is safety and

protection of the envi-ronment,” he said.

Langley Township has already set a busi-ness licence fee of $5,000 for medical mar-ijuana producers and Froese hopes that won’t have to change.

“Th at gives us some control over inspection and that’s important,” he said.

“Medical marijuana, as far as I’m concerned, is a pharmaceutical. It’s a lot diff erent than just growing tomatoes.”

Under the provincial rules, pot producers on ALR land will still have to pay industrial prop-erty tax rates, not the lower agricultural rate.

Garbage toxins suspected of contaminating hawksTesting reveals high levels of fl ame retardants in area raptors

By Jeff NagelResearchers have found high

levels of toxic fl ame retardants in Lower Mainland raptors, includ-ing one Cooper’s hawk in Lang-ley with the highest levels of the contaminant ever recorded in a wild bird.

Th e average concentration of PBDEs, a fl ame retardant used on furniture, electronics and carpets, averaged 1,873 parts per billion in the livers of 15 raptors tested in the Lower Mainland, and that reading hit 197,000 in the case of the Langley hawk.

Th e birds tested between 2000 and 2009 had all died from being hit by cars or similar trauma.

Lead researcher Kyle Elliott, from McGill University, says more species are adapting to ur-ban areas, where they encounter higher levels of chemical pollut-ants, which can then bioaccumu-late in top predators. Hawks, for example, eat starlings that oft en feed on garbage.

Elliott said it’s impossible to say the ultra-toxic hawk was con-taminated by the waste transfer station in Langley – a scenario Metro Vancouver offi cials doubt because garbage there is swift ly compacted, giving birds little access – but he suspects avian access to garbage is part of the overall problem, whether it’s via landfi lls, dumpsters or bagged garbage at the curb.

“Th ere were very high levels across the entire Lower Main-land,” he told Black Press.

“We do know these brominat-ed fl ame retardants are oft en as-sociated with human refuse. And starlings have 15 times higher levels near the Burns Bog landfi ll as compared to other sites in the Lower Mainland.”

Elliott said the PBDE levels found in Cooper’s hawks in the Lower Mainland were higher than found in any other study

elsewhere.Th e Langley hawk, found dead

in 2002, showed no signs of ema-ciation or sickness but had PBDE levels 100 times higher than lev-els known to decrease thyroid levels in eagles and suppress the immune system in kestrels, El-liott said.

Th e fi ndings were presented in a research paper in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

More research is underway to gauge the sources and eff ects of chemicals like PBDEs on a breed-ing group of Cooper’s hawks in the Metro Vancouver area.

Th e Orphaned Wildlife Re-habilitation Society (OWL) in Delta oft en takes in injured rap-tors found near the Vancouver landfi ll in Delta with injuries or

infections that defy explanation and make treatment challenging, according to bird care supervisor Martina Versteeg.

“We defi nitely think it has something to do with human waste,” she said.

“We see birds come in with in-fections, infl ammation, pus – all these things – and the test results oft en come back sterile. So what is it? Is it the chemicals or fl ame retardants doing it?”

Versteeg says OWL urges sup-porters to recycle as much as pos-sible to limit bird and wildlife ac-cess to garbage.

“One time we had an eagle that coughed up the handle of a wom-en’s razor,” Versteeg said. “It was pink so it looked like a piece of fi sh. And if they’re fi ghting over it they may just swallow it real quick and go on their day. She came here and coughed that up.”

Use of PBDEs was restricted several years ago but old prod-ucts continue to end up in land-fi lls so the legacy chemicals can have a lingering eff ect in the en-vironment.

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSVancouver’s Lindsay Long Legs (stiltwalking.net) greets cyclist Sandy Gallo on the opening day of the Bon Accord Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge on May 2. The 65-metre bridge spans over Bon Accord Creek at Invergary Park, 144 Street at 109 Avenue. The $1.3-million bridge is part of a 5K cycling route connecting City Centre to Fraser Heights and the Port Mann Bridge.

A new high school planned for the Clayton area of Surrey is facing further delays.

Preparation of the site, near 184 Street and 73 Ave-nue, was to begin this spring, but it was pushed to the summer. Now, says Trustee Laurae McNally, shovels won’t be in the ground until well into late fall.

Th e delay, says district offi cials, is due to dry stream beds on the property and some additional federal paperwork related to management of the waterways.

It’s hoped the new school will relieve space con-straints at overcrowded Lord Tweedsmuir and Clayton Heights Secondary schools.

Once construction begins, it will still take at least another two years to complete. Th e school is pegged to cost about $16.7 million and have space for about 1,200 students.

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSLeora Shipley is gearing up for the Woman2Warrior adventure race to support BC Easter Seals Camps on behalf of her son Nathan, 19 (centre). At left is Nathan’s brother, Jason, 9.

By Boaz JosephIt goes without saying that

Leora Shipley’s heart will race on May 24.

She’ll be exhausted, sweaty, wet and dirty, and possibly bruised aft er a fi ve-kilometre, 12-obstacle adventure race in and around Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.

She’s unsure whether a cur-rently broken toe will rebel at the exertion.

But certainly, there will be a smile on the face of the White Rock mother – even aft er she hits the (real) wall, which she’ll

climb over at the end.Th e challenge, called Wom-

an2Warrior, is a way for Shipley to give back to the people who have helped her son over the years.

Nathan, 19, has a severe form of cerebral palsy and has very limited us of his arms or legs.

Th e Earl Marriott Secondary student, who graduated with honours last year, spent most of his teen summers at Camp Squamish, run by BC Easter Seals.

“It was probably the biggest thing he would look forward

to all year,” says his mom, who has experienced the diffi culties of parenting a son who needs con-stant care and supervision.

“She’s doing it for a good cause,” says Nathan, who works part-time as a community ambassador for Hunky Haul-ers, a Cloverdale clutter removal company.

Leora says that, with Na-than’s physical disabilities, peo-

ple always see his wheelchair fi rst.

Th e Easter Seals camp did away with that – they let him be himself.

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 each summer for hundreds of kids with various physical and mental disabilities.

Up until 2012, admission was free – with funds raised by Eas-ter Seals and its parent charity, the BC Lions Society for Chil-dren with Disabilities.

In 2013, the admission cost for each child was raised to $100, and in 2014, $500.

Th e costs were meant to off set fundraising diffi culties and the actual operational cost for each child – about $2,400.

Parents have generally ac-cepted the new reality, said Stephen Miller, president and CEO of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and BC Easter Seals, during an interview last year.

Miller said that unlike other camps for children with specifi c diseases such as cancer or dia-betes, the nature of the Easter Seals camps – for kids with a

variety of disabilities – means that volunteers can-not 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.

About 900 kids go each summer to Camp Squa-mish and the other two Easter Seals camps, Camp Shawnigan on Vancouver Island and Camp Win-fi eld in the Okanagan Valley.

Parents got into the action with the Woman-2Warrior obstacle race starting in 2013.

Th is will be Leora’s third such test of strength, en-durance and agility, so she knows what to expect

– including the sideline support from her husband Peter and Nathan’s younger brother, Jason, 9.

In her fi rst year, Leora ran alone among the crowd.

She had a team of three in 2014 and this year she will be joined by her sister-in-law and three co-workers.

Leora has raised $3,400 for the BC Easter Seals Camps since 2013.

Her team, despite their training, can predict how they’ll feel by the end of the race.

Appropriately, they’re called Scrambled Legs.For more information, to sign up, or to support a

May is Social Enterprise Month, a time to celebrate B.C.’s growing social enterprise sector and recognize its role in improving lives and strengthening communities.

Social innovation is about new ideas and ways to address a complex social problem—such as homelessness or unemployment—by leveraging government, business and community resources to create better social outcomes.

Social enterprises differ from most traditional businesses in that profi ts are not just used to ensure fi nancial viability, but are specifi cally re-invested in communities to achieve, sustain and further a social or environmental purpose.

Types of social enterprises vary from community to community. Social enterprises range from thrift stores and neighborhood cooperatives to businesses that provide affordable groceries, work experience, and jobs for people who face barriers to employment.

We are fortunate to have a number of social enterprises as part of our Surrey Community:

• Atira Property Management’s profi ts are donated to the Atira Women’s Resource Society and used to fund transition housing and support services for women and children who are recovering from the effects of violence and abuse.

• Surrey Central Clubhouse (Options Community Services) offers a supported Work Program which serves adults living with a mental illness and encourages them to build skills by participating in the clubhouse’s daily operations such as lawn maintenance, street cleaning,

apartment cleaning, catering and much more.

• QUEST Food Exchange runs not-for-profi t grocery markets and delivers raw food materials to agencies for their other meal programs. The markets provide access to low-cost food and employment opportunities for vulnerable people in our community.

• Sources Connections Café & Catering is a small café located at the South Surrey Recreation Centre. They focus on promoting social wellness for our community by offering employment opportunities and fi nancial and social benefi ts for seniors and youth and people with disabilities.

• Inn for Women accepts donations from the community of high quality clothing and accessories. The store is run entirely by volunteers and the proceeds are given to the Servants Anonymous Society of Surrey. The store also acts as a venue for women to mentor and provide support to other women.

• Surrey Firefi ghters Association Thrift Store is a Community Thrift Store that offers gently used, exceptional quality merchandise at low prices. The thrift store is a partnership between the Surrey Hospice Society and the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society that ensures all net income is used to benefi t the people of Surrey.

This month, we encourage everyone to get to know these local organizations and how social enterprises are creating a better community. You can also visit HubcapBC.ca to learn more about social enterprises, and join the conversation by following @HubcapBC on twitter, hashtag #Impact4BC.

No one organization, ministry or government can solve society’s most diffi cult challenges on its own, which is why social innovation and entrepreneurship is so important.

Through this kind of collaboration, we are able to accomplish far more than we would if we were acting alone.

service in a comfortable,friendly environment.

Lions take a chanceBy Rick KupchukRated as the number-one prospect in the

Canadian Football League (CFL) Draft , Sur-rey’s Christian Covington didn’t have his name called until the fi ft h round.

Th e defensive lineman was draft ed 43rd overall by the B.C. Lions May 12, who took a chance with their selection. Two weeks ago, Covington was draft ed in the sixth round of

the National Football League Draft by the Houston Texans and will attempt to crack their roster this season.

“I’m looking to play football. My dream is to play professional football,” Covington said before the two draft s. “My dream just so hap-pens to be the NFL.”

Th e son of CFL Hall of Famer Grover Cov-ington, Christian has played at Rice University

in Houston, Texas for the past three seasons. Last year, he had 20 tackles including three sacks in seven games before a knee injury ended his ju-nior season.

Covington hasn’t ruled out following in his father’s footsteps and playing in Canada, but adds he will make every attempt to build a career in the United States.

“I know who my dad was. I know what type of league the CFL is, and I have a lot of respect for the CFL,” he said. “I have old classmates and team-mates who play in the CFL.

“If at the end of the day, the NFL doesn’t work out for me, I have that to go back to.”

16 The Cloverdale Reporter Wednesday, May 20, 2015

The process of choosing a child care provider for your child is often time-consuming and the cause of some anxiety.

Once you have found someone who meets the needs of your child and the family, it is time to establish a relationship with that new person in your child’s life.

This relationship is best described as a partnership between the child care provider and the family. Partnerships are based on regular communication, shared decision making, and mutual trust.

You will also need to add in some sensitivity to each other’s perspectives – parents will be looking at the needs of their child and the child care provider will also need to look at how to best meet the needs of all the children in her care.

Respect for the unique role each of you play in your child’s life and the belief that each other is doing the best they can will enhance the partnership.

Simple ways a parent can let their child care provider know they appreciate their work:

• Make sure your child is fed and well rested

• Be on time for drop off and pick up• Treat your provider professionally• Be considerate of non-working hours

• Be prompt with payments• Adhere to policies and read notices that are

sent home• Share information that will assist your

provider in caring for your child• Communicate early about concerns, before

problems grow

The child care setting is a place where your child spends the majority of their day – very similar to your workplace. Children will establish relationships with the child care providers, friendships with the children and gain security from the familiarity of this environment. It is worth the eff ort to establish and maintain a productive partnership with the child care provider.

CHOOSING A CHILD CARE PROGRAM

When it comes time to return to work after the birth of your child it can be challenging to fi nd a child care program

that meets the needs of your family. Parents know their children better than anyone else and you need to be confi dent that you will choose the type of program that best suits your child’s temperament and your family requirements. It is important to remember that you are choosing a person to care for your child – not a specifi c license type or curriculum. The child care environment needs to be respectful, nurturing, stimulating and supportive. Qualities to look for in a potential child care provider are a happy and relaxed attitude, encourages parental involvement, matches your own child rearing philosophy and communicates well with both children and adults. The child care setting needs to be clean and comfortable, safe and well supervised, and off er a range of materials that encourage age appropriate activities. Last but not least there needs to be a quiet space for children to rest.There are many types of child care settings available to families. Licensed child care facilities include Group (includes Multi Age) often found in a commercial or community setting, Family (includes In Home Multi Age) is operated in a home setting, while Preschool located in community, commercial, or home setting. Child care that is not required to have license

is a home-based child care provider looking after two children who are not related to the caregiver or a child care provider who cares for children in their own home (nanny). These child care facilities are all operating within the BC Governments’ Child Care Regulations.Assessing your family’s requirements is a start to making the decision about appropriate child care. If you have more than one child do you want them to be together in the same child care

facility? Does the facility need to be close to your home; close to work; on the route

to work; open early or stay open late; drop off and pick up at school or

preschool. Once you have

decided on these parameters you will need

to consider the availability and

cost of the child care programs.

Visiting more than one program will give you an opportunity to compare the services off ered and qualities of the child care

providers. Make a second appointment to discuss the parent handbook and receive the child care contract. At the third meeting ask any questions regarding the child care contract, sign the contract and arrange the date the child/children will start at the child care program.Be confi dent that you have chosen the program best suited to your child/children’s needs. Monitor the child care environment by spendingsome time at drop off or pick up, listen to your child’s actions or words, and discuss concerns with the child care provider in a timely manner.localicious!

enough attention to your childYour caregiver probably. . .• Was aware of your child’s needs and interests• Spent time planning a challenging activity for the

children• Encouraged the children to try new things• Made smocks available for the children• Was worried you might be concernedTry to remember your favorite activity when you were four years old. Was it outdoor play with water, mud, dress-up clothes? Young children really learn when they are actively involved in

play – not when someone is talking to them. There is a diff erence between “messy” and “lack of supervision.” The caregiver made sure your child was fed, warm, took a nap, washed hands after

toileting and before eating, and planned messy fun things to do because that

is how young children learn! Send your child to school in

clothes that can get dirty! Keep extra old clothes at the play site for times when the child gets really wet or messy. If you need to take the

child out, bring the dressier clothes when picking up, and

allow time to change. Keep calm. Remember in a few years

the teenagers will use the shampoo, mirrors and all the towels! Young children need time to be kids. If you have concerns talk to your child’s caregiver about active play!

“All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy”

What is the role of play in children’s lives and why would we want to make room for it? Play is often seen as free time that is spent

without care and work. They formed some of my happiest memories as a child and I can still see my swing-set that took me on journeys beyond my backyard. Moments spent in play are a luxury and are only present when the relational needs of the child are being met. These times are critical for brain development, as it is where children form neural networks that are involved in problem solving and creativity. Children who lack environments that foster play actually have brains that are 20 to 30 per cent less

developed in capacity. Play is not empty time; it is how children build the brains that are

required for work and learning. All play is not created equal; it’s not about the toys, the stimulation, and the

entertainment. The type of play that their brains need is where the

energy is coming from within the child to construct, build, create and so

on. This type of play is called emergent play and in this state you see curiosity, imagination and sense of discovery in full action. My husband will often

groan in coming home from work to fi nd the bathroom transformed into a swimming pool for dolls, craft sparkles that defy capture from

one end of the house to the other, and an overall mess created from hours of play. I remind him that it is not a mess but the imaginings of the teacher, designer, and scientist that lurks within them. It is hard to convey the look that I get in return but the force of their play continues to outmatch his need to walk on a clean fl oor.Emergent play does not typically unfold from activities with a lot of structure and rules, as this tends to confi ne and take the lead in terms of play. This is not to suggest that we stop these activities but it does mean that we need to stay cognizant that structured play activities are not equal to free play. In grade one my daughter informed her gym teacher that she wasn’t interested in joining his running club because she simply had enough activities and just wanted to play. I am sure her response provided him with an all-new meaning to getting out of gym class.Children who have a lot of stimulation from the TV or computer may report being bored away from these sources because their emergent play and energy has been stifl ed, subdued or overpowered. For these golden play times to emerge we need to do our part and ensure their relational needs are taken care of, provide the necessary materials, and a space free of stimulation. When these conditions are met, we can sit back and watch their imaginings take hold. We can be rest assured that it is not just child’s play; it is creating the brains that will solve the problems of tomorrow.Reprinted with permission.

Discovering strengths and inspiring change

Angela HerdDirector & Therapist

Warmer weather means more outdoor activities and travels. A properly assembled First Aid Kit is pertinent in case

of an accident. Other than the usual Band-Aid and antiseptics, there are a few extra items that may come in handy.With children running about, there are bound to be many “boo-boos” to heal. For bumps and bruises, keep some Arnicare Cream or Gel on hand to help with pain and swelling. For minor scrapes, Calendula Complex Cream has mild antiseptic action while helping to soothe soreness and redness.Dapis Gel is a homeopathic product that is applied topically to help relieve the itch and sting associated with insect bites. Being in a gel base adds to its soothing eff ects and makes it a great natural alternative to calamine lotion. The same active ingredient in Dapis Gel is available in oral format: keeping Apis Mellifi ca 6ch in your fi rst aid kit is a great complement to the topical gel. It also complements and can safely be used as the same time as conventional antihistamines

(e.g., Benadryl®) because in addition to reducing swelling and itchiness, it can help with the pain of the sting or bite.Going traveling? Cocculine® is a homeopathic

mixture that can be taken by both children and adults. It contains remedies to help with

the dizziness and nausea that may be symptoms of

motion sickness. If you are traveling into another time

zone and jet lag is a concern, then our

Jet lag Complex can be tried. It is best taken

starting a few days before traveling and continued for a few days into your stay in the new time zone. Melatonin is another useful natural

product for those traveling across multiple time zones to help adjust the sleep-wake cycle. As with any sleep aid, it should only be used for a few days at a time as the safety of long-term supplementation with melatonin is not yet known.Now you’re set! Enjoy your summer!

Family &ParentingSTRONG START, BC EARLY YEARS CENTRES

HELP LAY A STRONG FOUNDATION By Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux

Nurturing, education and parenting are critical to children’s development, health and lifelong well-being. In fact, early child

development sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behaviour, and health. Providing responsive, nurturing and stimulating experiences establish the wiring of the brain connections. Children who are well supported physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually will develop a multitude of neural connections that shape their brains and their capacity to learn, to interact with others, and to respond to daily stresses and challenges. Positive and nurturing early childhood experiences are linked to better overall outcomes in life including: higher employment and earnings, better overall health, and lower incidence of welfare dependence and involvement with the justice system. This is why our government has made it such a priority to ensure that children have spaces to grow and learn through programs and facilities like StrongStart BC and our BC Early Years Centres. StrongStart BC programs provide parents or caregivers the opportunity to engage and share with their children in rich environments designed for early learners. Qualifi ed early childhood educators lead activities that develop language, physical, cognitive social and emotional skills. It’s also an opportunity for both children and caregivers to make friends and interact with others.

There are two Strong Start programs in Cloverdale at Martha Currie Elementary and at George Greenaway Elementary schools. The role of the BC Early Years Centres is to provide families with one-stop, convenient access to a range of services and supports, information and referrals. Each centre will off er a variety of programs, services and supports tailored to the needs of their community. These may include:• Parent drop-in programs, such as Parent-Child

Mother Goose• Public-health clinics• Advice and referrals from early-years

professionals• Parent education workshops• Licensed child care for families• Child-care resources and referral information

The BC Early Years Centre in South Surrey will be housed at the Kensington Prairie Community Centre. The early years for our children are so important. The decisions we make for our children around nurturing, education and parenting can impact their futures.

Stephanie Cadieux is the MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale and B.C. Minister for Child and Family Development

Embark on an icy expedition where kids overcome obstacles with God’s awesome power. From our Base Camp music celebration, your child’s climbing crew will begin its expedition through crafts, games, snacks, and fantastic Bible teaching.

Sonrise Soccer Camp features fantastic, skills-based coaching, drills, and practice games every day. Our coaches are experienced soccer players trained to coach children. On Friday, bring a lawn chair and watch your kids compete in our tournament.

Join us for the adventure of a lifetime. Each safari crew will visit different Serengeti stations to experience wild Bible expeditions, fantastic music, safari crafts, wild games, and tasty treats.

This high energy camp will have your kids active all morning long. They will spend the day playing wacky water games, enjoying tasty treats, and engaging with creative Bible teaching.

Mortgage before June if youhave less than 10% down

Feisal Panjwani, AMP and Shimona Pinto, AMP, Your Mortgage Experts, www.YourMortgageExperts.ca | 604.576.1412

If you’re in the market for a mortgage, and have less than a 10% downpayment, then you might want to get that mortgage before June.

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) is raising premiums for insuring mortgages on Canadian homes with less than 10% down. The new premiums are about a 15% increase. Canadian homebuyers are required to have mortgage insurance if they have less than 20% equity in their homes. Premiums are not increasing for those with downpayments of 10% or more.

How does it hit your wallet? A homebuyercan expect to pay an extra $450 per $100,000in mortgage. We can calculate exactly howmuch the increase will mean to you.

The change will come into eff ect on June 1st.Homebuyers will be able to access the currentlower rates if they have bought a home and are approved before the June 1 deadline, evenif they have a later closing date.

If you’ve got less than a 10% downpaymentand are looking to buy, get in touch today!

Supercharge your SavingsShelly Appleton-Benko • BA, CIM, FCSI, CSWP is a Vice President, Director, Portfolio Manager with Odlum Brown Limited.

Have you heard the news? The 2015 Federal Budget proposed an in-crease to the amount a qualifying individual can contribute to their Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). The proposed limit has increased from $5,500/year to $10,000/year. Since 2009, the total contribution limit to date, if you have not made any previous TFSA contributions, will be $41,000.Why is this great news? Well, a TFSA allows you to accumulate savings faster than you would in an ordinary investment account, as interest, dividends and capital gains are not taxed when earned or withdrawn. So, if you are saving for the long-term – this is a great way to squirrel away even more savings and let it grow tax free. Together, with your RRSP, this can be a supercharged savings plan for retirement or your

overall wealth plan.Be aware that there are rules around over-contributing and recontrib-uting in the same year, and the penalties can be hefty! So be sure your fi nancial advisor provides you with all of the details to help make an informed decision.While the proposed measure is subject to parliamentary approval, fi -nancial institutions can immediately allow TFSA holders to contribute up to the new proposed maximum. So get started today!The information contained herein is for general information purposes only and is not intended to provide fi nancial, legal, accounting or tax advice and should not be relied upon in that regard. Many factors unknown to Odlum Brown Limited may aff ect the applicability of any matter discussed herein to your particular circum-stances. You should consult directly with your fi nancial advisor before acting on any matter discussed herein. Individual situations may vary. Member-Canadian Investor Protection Fund.

How the TFSA contribution limit increaseaff ects your retirement strategy

Megan Battersby, Communications Specialist, G&F Financial Group

With an almost doubled contribution limit of $10,000, TFSAs have grown in relevance to retirement planning and investing. Comple-menting the RRSP, a TFSA is a valuable investing and savings tools, as withdrawals and investment income earned inside is sheltered from tax consequences.

Michael Atkinson, VP, Wealth Management at G&F Financial Group explains how the higher TFSA limit provides increased fl exibility and savings opportunities:

Because there are no tax consequences when you withdraw from TFSAs, they are more fl exible than RRSPs, and therefore also well suited for shorter term saving.

No longer limited to $5,500, retirees may benefi t from the in-creased limit by sheltering investment earnings as they withdraw their savings from their Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF).

TFSA’s aren’t just for high income earners. According to the Invest-ment Executive, the largest group of Canadians that contributed to TFSAs were those earning between $20,000 and $40,000 per

annum, with almost a quarter of this group maximizing their con-tributions. Mid to low-income earners who fall in a low tax bracket may favour TFSAs over RRSPs as they can carry forward their RRSP contribution to higher income earning years.

Unlike RRSPs, neither income earned within a TFSA nor with-drawals from the plan aff ect eligibility for federal income-tested benefi ts and credits, such as Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and the Canada Child Tax Benefi t.

In response to the recent TFSA and RRIF changes, G&F Financial Group recommends everyone seek the advice of a professional to re-evaluate their individual fi nancial situation. The Credit Union off ers complimentary Smart Money Plans™ to help members plan for the future, maximize their savings while minimizing their tax liability.
