Rival schools battle for donations It’s Lord Tweedsmuir vs Clayton Heights as a long-seated rivalry goes to bat for Christmas Hamper Program

Will a formal competition net more donations?

By Jennifer Lang It’s an idea whose time has come. Lord Tweedsmuir and Clayton Heights secondaries have turned a good-natured rivalry into a formal challenge in the spirit of helping Cloverdale’s neediest families this Christmas. In recent years, the two schools have unofficially kept an eye on who has collected the most donations for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program. But this year, it’s on. For the first time, the two lo-

cal high schools have launched a formal competition to see which school can bring in the most donations for the program, a nondenominational community campaign that helped out about 230 local families and individuals last year. Schools are among the program’s biggest supporters in terms of donations of non-perishable food items, ahead of community organizations, businesses, churches and other schools. Will the Panthers pounce the Night Riders – or will the Riders

yield to the big cats? We’ll find out when the contest ends Dec. 6. Meanwhile, donation boxes have been set up in classrooms throughout both schools, and students are roaming the community to collect donations to help put their school over the top. “We have just been everywhere,” Lord Tweedsmuir student co-council president John Wu said. The schools challenge each other on the football field at the Stetson Bowl each year, but “we thought we might as well do

More than $1,700 in spare change from Cloverdale will be headed to relief efforts for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines thanks to a change drive spearheaded by the student executive council at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. Students raised $1,738.14, with proceeds going to assist the Canadian Red Cross. The Canadian government will match donations to registered Canadian charities to Dec. 8, meaning the Tweedsmuir campaign represents $3,476.28 for hurricane relief.

Saving at what price? Consumers and retailers share responsibility for their role in cross border shopping

any Canadians — including residents of Surrey — will vote with their feet this week and head south on Black Friday in hopes of finding bargains on electronics, appliances, apparel and food. This trek is part of a general trend of Canadians to crossborder shop while our dollar’s value stays relatively high, and although the price spread is just 10 per cent — not a huge difference given the time spent in border line-ups and the cost of gas — the general impression is that U.S. retailers do a better job in keeping prices low. The truth is more complicated as retailers, such as London Drugs, have been adapting to consumer demand, offering competitive deals and early shopping hours for Black Friday to keep shoppers at home. As well, the entry of U.S.-based Walmart and Target have forced Canadian retailers to sharpen their pencils. But Canadian retailers can’t

take all the blame for the price differences. In fact, Canada’s relative small consumer market compared to the U.S. contributes to higher pricing overall. For one thing, foreign suppliers have historically charged more for their product, knowing that Canadian consumers will still pay the high-

er price, and because Canada is a more costly market to service. Transportation costs, distribution costs, (somewhat) higher labour costs, tariffs and fees as well as higher rent and real estate costs all add to the mark-up Canadians pay on goods. It’s a fact of life in a country with a smaller

population that consumer goods will be more expensive. But should retailers ignore the desire of Canadians to get more for their money? Absolutely not, they need to take some responsibility for the problem of crossborder shopping and do what they can to keep customers at home — whether it be through enhanced customer service, warranty servicing or more competitive pricing. At the same time, Canadian consumers shouldn’t be let off the hook. They need to know that circulating their dollar in their home community keeps themselves and their neighbours employed, and thus benefits local economies. Dollars spent in Canada will also ensure that we continue to enjoy health care, a strong social safety net and many other benefits. When it comes to quality of life, you get what you pay for.

Increased use of taxis for HandyDart trips supported To the editor; The increased use of taxis within HandyDart is something that disability advocates have been requesting for years. We’ve been asking for increased taxi use because HandyDart levels are inadequate and taxi use significantly increases the number of HandyDart rides that can be provided within the same budget. For example, the Montreal custom transit system uses over 90 per cent taxis and they provide almost twice as many rides as Metro Vancouver HandyDart does, for about the same budget. Throughout North America, custom transit operators use taxis as part of their custom transit system to provide more needed rides. The independent auditor of TransLink services noted that our HandyDart service is much less efficient than other Canadian services, and recommended that TransLink increase the use

of taxis to increase the number of rides provided in a cost efficient way. This same recommendation was recently passed by the City of Vancouver Persons with Disabilities Advisory Committee: that TransLink should substantially increase taxi service within HandyDart to provide more rides within the same funding envelope. HandyDart currently does not meet people’s needs, and this is unacceptable. Taxis are an excellent way of meeting this unmet need because they are about half as expensive as a ride on a regular HandyDart vehicle. That is why advocates and the independent auditor have recommended more taxi rides – twice as many rides can be provided for the same amount of government funding. In a system where there aren’t enough rides, where need and the seniors population are in-

creasing, and where public funds are limited, it is crucial to find ways to provide more needed service within the same funding envelope. Increasing taxi use within HandyDart is an established international best practice to do that. Also, while it is true that travel with an untrained driver is unsafe, it is also true that this can be remedied and that a solution is about to be implemented. For over a year, a group of disability and seniors organizations, including the BC Coalition of People with Disabilities, the Coalition of Senior Citizens Organizations of BC, GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, the City of Vancouver Seniors Advisory Committee, CNIB, and the City of Vancouver Persons with Disabilities Advisory Committee, have been working collaboratively with the Vancouver taxi companies to design an excellent taxi driver training program to provide safe and

The Gluten Connection in Chronic Bowel Disease BY DR. HENRY CHENG

Gluten is the name given to a group of proteins (gliadin and other prolamins) that is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. It is estimated that DR. HENRY CHENG one in 133 Canadians may have gluten sensitivity. When gluten sensitivity gives rise to a full blown clinical manifestation the condition is called Coeliac Disease, but gluten sensitivity has also been implicated in Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. In fact gluten allergy can be found in many other systemic immune diseases. The exact role of gluten in the pathogenesis of these diseases is still unknown but it is known that people with immune diseases always benefit from a gluten free diet. One theory is that gluten may serve as a trigger in the chain reaction leading to inflammation and damages in a genetically susceptible individual. The gluten peptide interacts with the individual’s abnormal immune structures to form immune complexes that damage the intestinal mucosa leading to diarrhoea, flatulence, nausea, malabsorption, anaemia, osteoporosis, depression, general asthenia, etc. Our normal intestinal mucosal surface is made of convoluted folds like steeples projecting into the lumen. These “steeples” are

appropriate service. All Vancouver taxi drivers will be required to take this training and pass it. It will start in about two weeks. We hope this will also be implemented in other areas soon. In summary, the recommendation that TransLink increase the use of taxis came from the disability community, is an international best practice, and was one of the recommendations of the independent auditor. Required taxi driver training and testing is about to be implemented. The safe use of taxis within HandyDart for persons with disabilities and seniors who want to use them should substantially increase the number of rides available and should significantly reduce the trip denial rate in a cost-effective and sustainable way. Jill Weiss Chair, City of Vancouver Persons with Disabilities Advisory Committee

called villi (pleural for villus). This architecture increases the surface area available for absorption. When gluten gets into the intestine of Coeliac patients, the gluten interacts with an enzyme called tissue transglutaminase to form complexes that destroy these “steeples” so the villi become truncated and nutrient absorption is impaired. As well, when the integrity of the continuous mucosal surface is lost, large food molecules will leak through the mucus membrane causing food allerges. The only effective treatment for these individuals is total exclusion of gluten in their diet. Certain supplements like N-acetyl-glucosamine, RR Formula and probiotics may help to repair, shrink, and soothe the damaged mucosa. Incidentally, Coeliac patients usually develop secondary lactose intolerance, hence they have to exclude dairy products from their diet as well. While gluten and dairy products can be excluded from the diet as much as possible, there is always the risk of a tiny little bit of gluten that may sneak in the food. There may be hidden gluten derivatives in soy sauce, food starch, ice cream, soups, beer, wines, vodka, whisky, malt, etc. In a Coeliac patient, even a little bit of gluten in the food may trigger a bad attack of abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Fortunately there is a specific proteolytic enzyme called Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) that can break down any accidental gluten contam-

ination in the food. This protease enzyme works under a wide range of pH conditions so it works both in the stomach and the intestine. DPP-Zyme (AOR) contains over 30,000 units of DPP IV protease enzyme per capsule. MegaZyme (Nature’s Way) also contains 48,290 units of protease per capsule but it is not DPP IV specific. Gluten Defense (Nature’s Way) contains DPP IV as well as enzymes for lactose intolerance, but this product has been back ordered lately. These enzymes are invaluable in helping chronic bowel disease victims so they can dine out more freely. Since a disturbed immunity is implicated in Coeliac and other chronic bowel diseases, immune moderators like sterols/ sterolins, coriola versicola (YunZhi or Cloud Mushroom), cordyceps, and homeopathic Thymuline may help to balance the immunity. Chronic bowel diseases have been linked to bowel cancer and complications like ulceration, bleeding, perforation, abscess formation, fistulae, anaemia, osteoporosis, etc. Supplements only help the patient’s quality of life. Constant medical care and scrutiny cannot be omitted.

As a Canadian citizen, mother, and recovering addict, I am disturbed about the debate of the legalization of marijuana. My concern is if Dana Larsen gets the 400,000 signatures for his Sensible BC Campaign, it’s just one step towards the legalization of marijuana. It frightens me to even think that marijuana might be around even more than it already is. It will also be more available to youth, who would be four times more prone to suffer from a psychotic disorder – like schizophrenia. Marijuana could even put them at risk of addiction; and I am sure no one would want that for their child. I recognize that people actually need marijuana for medical issues which is fine. So let the people who need it have it; but why just let people have it because they want it? Legalizing it would just be going too far. I hope the right decision is made!

Hamper donation deadline looms From page one

Program, which collects and distributes tens of thousands of dollars in donations of food and gifts each year. For example, in 2011, Clayton Heights collected more than 10,000 items and $1,000 in cash. The donations are destined for the warehouse at Pacific Community Church, which acts as the nerve centre, where dozens of volunteers sort and assemble the hampers in time for pick up day, Dec. 14. Clayton Heights Secondary’s Cecilia Stampedro sounded pretty confident about the school’s odds this year. “I believe we have a better chance at beating Tweedsmuir, despite their advantage of a larger amount of students, because we have always collected more non-perishable items than them,” she said, adding she’s looking forward to the results no matter what. That’s because both she and Wu believe the competition will ulti-

with Clayton Heights pointedly advising Tweedsmuir to stick to what it knows best, namely football and cheerleading. Ouch!

Hillcrest blitz This Saturday, Hillcrest Village Shopping Centre hosts Cloverdale Community Cares food drive in support of the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Surrey Fire Fighters and Surrey RCMP will be helping out, with a guest appearance by Santa. Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program lead Kevin Lunder said donations of food and money must be in no later than Dec. 10. Financial gifts, big or small, are greatly appreciated. Other donation suggestions include: non-perishable food items, grocery gift cards, toiletries and

personal care items, new gloves, socks, and scarves, new, unwrapped children’s toys and gifts and mall or store gift cards for youth. Donations can also be made via boxes in the community, in person at Pacific Community Church, 5337 180 Street, or online at www.pacificcommunity. ca/ministries/cloverdale-hamper-program/ pages/donations. Call 604-574-4001, Ext. 107.

mately raise the overall amount of donations the two schools collect compared to previous years. Clayton Heights starts collecting donations of non-perishable food items in October, during Halloween For Hunger. On Oct. 31, members of the school’s Global Issue’s Club head out to points across Cloverdale, trick-or-treat-

ing for non-perishable food items rather than candy. With the contest deadline looming, several classes have also decided to challenge each other. Stampedro said some teachers are offering small rewards to help spur on the food drive. Another big incentive is a prize draw for a $100 gift card for the store of their choice.

Back at Tweedsmuir, Wu said a video that was broadcast on the school’s CHTV and featured boasts and taunts helped motivate students. “We’re going to beat them. We beat them in basketball, and we’re going to beat them at this as well,” he said. The taunts from the other side have been similarly edgy,

A new rail line would face fierce opposition: Hiebert From page one

BNSF railway officials have only said they would ‘review a substantial plan if submitted.’

been selected. We are merely getting feedback from the community.” BNSF railway officials have only said they would “review a substantial plan if submitted.” Sending the trains north to connect to the tracks running east-west through Cloverdale would mean more trains carrying coal, garbage and hazardous chemicals running through the community. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said she would want more information on the proposal’s implications for agricultural land in Surrey. Donna Passmore, campaign director for the Farmland Defence League of B.C., said her group would “go to war” if rerouting the tracks meant alienating more farmland.

But Passmore said she understands the proposal to involve rerouting trains via existing rail connections in the Fraser Valley, rather than building a new right-of-way through Surrey farms. On that basis, she said, she’d support removing the waterfront railway to reduce the risk of a spill contaminating the ocean. “If we can move the trains without further destruction of farmland or the environment, it must be done and done quickly.” South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert warned the cost of rail relocation would be “tremendous” – pegging it closer to $500 million – and predicted the money would have to come from governments before railway owner BNSF would even consider the notion. He also predicted it would face fierce opposition from residents of neighbourhoods proposed for a new rail line. – With files Black Press

Dear Santa...

More than a million letters are expected to roll into Santa’s post office this year. That’s a lot of Christmas wish lists to sort through. Fortunately, the Jolly Old Elf – who always knows who’s been naughty and nice – has some extra hands on deck to help him out. In the lead up to Christmas, there will be 9,000 postal elves ready to receive letters from children all over the world. They can answer in 30 different languages, including Braille. Santa’s Chief Postal Elf offers the following suggestions to children wanting to write: On second thought, let’s Be sure to get it in writing. include your return address. Santa knows where you live, but his postal elves need a mailing address to deliver Santa’s letter to your home. After all, not everyone has access to Rudolph. Send your letter soon! Letters should be mailed no later than Dec. 17 to allow for enough time to reach the North Pole and back. Remember to write Santa’s address (Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0) on the envelope. When you’re finished writing your letter to Santa, drop it in a mailbox anywhere in Canada, and the postal elves will make sure it gets to the right place. No stamp required. The Santa Letterwriting program is an employee-led volunteer initiative of current and retired postal employees who donate more than 226,000 hours of time each holiday season.

What’s cooking for Christmas? A gift from the heart

By Jennifer Lang When we last caught up with Hillcrest Elementary student Jenna Prem (“Jenna’s Gift,” Dec. 13, 2012), she was baking up a storm. Jenna, now 12, and her mom Nicole Amato-Prem had laid siege to the family kitchen, where they were pumping out trays of Nanaimo bars, shortbread cookies, jam tarts and more, enough to fill 40 trays of mouthwatering, delectable Christmas treats. For the third year in a row, the goodies were boxed up and sold to friends, family and supporters for $20 a pop. With the money raised, Jenna bought gifts for children at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. The project began when Jenna was 8 and is now an annual tradition, growing to 30, then finally 40 orders last year. Forty, vowed mom Nicole, was the absolute limit. What a difference a year makes. They’ve upped it to 50, and last Thursday, Jenna was elbow-deep in tart filling, prepping 200 jam tarts, as Nicole read out the various ingredient portions to Jenna, grease-stained recipe book in hand. The tricky bit is doing the math – rapidfire calculations are involved when you’re doubling, tripling, or quadrupling recipes. “We need 50 eggs for everything and 16 pounds of butter,” said Nicole as husband Rich shouldered stacks of fresh eggs into the fridge. Carving out baking time in Jenna’s busy

soccer practice schedule is a growing challenge, and the family planned a weekend baking blitz to get everything done. Why push it? A new convection oven, a better blender (discounts were had for both) and a broader island in the kitchen have helped streamline production. “We can probably cut the baking time in half,” Nicole predicted. “This,” she smiled, surveying the trays waiting to go into the oven, “is the fun part.” Jenna contacts local grocery stores for donations of gift certificates to purchase bak-

ing ingredients, stretching the budget as far as it will go. Thanks to their generous support (and from family members), Jenna will have nearly $1,000 to spend on presents. Armed with a wish list, Jenna buys gifts for children she’ll never meet. They ask for crayons, paints and other craft supplies, or movie DVDs to pass the time. “We’re actually buying gift cards for the parents, so they can take a break and go out for dinner,” Jenna said.

hat’s for coffee break today? Why, it’s ‘Muffkies’ – courtesy of Reporter reader Susan Hall, who sent in a recipe along with a sample: This recipe came from England with my great Grandmother Fielding in the early 1900s. They were originally called Grandma Cookies but my son in his wisdom at age 5 renamed them Muffkies. Once you have tasted them you will know why. He is 40 now and insists that it is not Christmas until he has his Muffkies.

Jam tarts are a family recipe From page 3

1/2 tsp vanilla 1 cup medium coconut

Jenna and her mom rely on tried-andtrue recipes from a recipe book by Nicoleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt, Kim Thom, called Eat, Drink & Be Merry! Food, Drink and Gift Recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years Eve. The jam tarts in the book are based on a family recipe.

Jam tarts Food processor pie dough 1/4 cup raspberry or strawberry jam 2 large eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp cornstarch 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/2 Tbl lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375. Roll out pie dough and cut into 3 1/2 or 4â&#x20AC;? diameter rounds; press into ungreased muffin tins. Chill while preparing filling. Place 1 tsp jam in each of the tart shells. Beat eggs with sugar, salt and cornstarch. Blend in butter, lemon juice and vanilla. Fold in coconut (will seem runny but coconut absorbs the liquid). Fill tart shells 3/4 full. Bake on bottom rack for 10 minutes then reduce temperature to 350 and bake until golden, about 10 minutes more.

Memories of a child The year her parents separated, Santa’s visit was in doubt

By Johanne Fraser can remember waking up and looking out the window; frustrated that I had fallen asleep. I was determined to stay awake all night to see Santa and his reindeers. Every Christmas Eve I stood looking out the window watching the night sky until exhaustion overtook me from head to toe. I would crawl under the covers and make sure I was facing the window and with all my might try to keep my eyes open so I could catch a glimpse of Santa. Johanne Fraser This particular night I woke up and I was extremely disappointed because in the back of my mind I feared Santa wouldn’t come. The past year had been difficult for my family, my parents had gone their separate ways and I had overheard my mother telling my older sister that she wasn’t sure if Santa would make it this year. The room was still very dark and I was unsure of the time but it still felt like it was in the middle of the night. I rolled over and

looked out my doorway and saw this warm glow that illuminated my room. “Maybe I wasn’t too late,” I thought, “maybe Santa is here now.” Slowly, I swung my legs over the side of my bed and quietly while holding my breath walked from my room down the stairs into the living room. I stood amazed by what I saw; the tree was all lit up with beautiful blue lights, which made the room look enchanting and magical. I was looking at the angel at the top of the tree, working my way down when I realized Santa had already been to my house. I had asked for Barbie and her camper and at the bottom of the tree all set up, and ready for me to play, was Barbie sitting in her camper. I could barely contain myself from yelling out with excitement; instead I put my hand over my mouth to stifle any sound because I wanted time alone under the Christmas tree that illuminated such a warm glow. I walked over to the tree and sat on the floor to play, for what seemed like hours, before I heard any stirrings in the house. Santa came through after all – my mother was wrong, Santa heard my wishes and made my

Christmas magical. Santa continues to give my children that magical tradition. He leaves his gifts all set up under a beautiful illuminated Christmas tree. As we all sit around the tree unwrapping family presents, we stuff ourselves with sweet breads and scones. Below is a family favourite scone recipe that is made every year for Christmas morning:

Raspberry Scones

crumbs. 3. Gently fold the berries into the flour mixture. 4. In a small bowl combine the cream, beaten egg, and vanilla; mix well. 5. Add this to the flour mixture and stir till just combined; do not overmix. 6. Knead dough gently on a

lightly floured board being careful of the berries. 7. Roll or pat into a circle that is about 7” round and about 1 1/2” thick. 8. Cut the circle in half and each half into four pie-shaped wedges. 9. Place on a baking sheet; brush the tops with egg wash. 10. Bake in a 400-425 degree oven on the middle rack for about 20 minutes until nicely browned. Recipe from www.food.com.

Here comes Santa Cloverdale set to welcome St. Nick at Parade of Lights By Jennifer Lang It’s without a doubt the brightest, cheeriest way to get caught up in the spirit of the season. Cloverdale is the place to be Sunday, Dec. 8 for the dazzling and delightful Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights traditional, small-town parade with floats, antique vehicles, community groups and even horses, culminating in a lighted procession of big rigs and trucks from Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley – not to mention the arrival of St. Nick himself. With an estimated 13,000 taking in the lighted parade last year, you’ll want to get there early to stake out a spot. Organizers expanded the route last year. The marshalling area is the Cloverdale Fairgrounds at 60 Avenue, and the parade runs east to 177B Street, south to 58 Avenue, and then west to 176 Street, where it heads south to 56A Avenue past Hawthorne Square, hosting entertainment, food and Christmas displays. Hawthorne Square – in the 5700-block of 176 Street, the same block as the Clova

A local tradition PICTURES WITH SANTA CLAUS

WHEN: noon to 4 p.m., daily, Dec. 8-22. WHERE: Santa’s hut at Clover Square Village Mall. Parents, please bring your own camera. Don’t forget to bring a donation for the Surrey Food Bank.

By Jennifer Lang A visit with Santa is a long-running tradition in Cloverdale. Back in the 1960s, kids lined up at Duckworth’s store to have their picture taken with a department store Santa. Back in its heyday, Duckworth’s – located where the Cloverdale Learning Centre at 5741 176 Street is today – which also offered customers a gift-wrapping service. Later on, the show moved over to Cloverdale Shoppers Plaza, also remembered as the Safeway mall by anyone who grew up here in the 1970s and 1980s. Today, the tradition of visiting with Santa in Cloverdale happily continues at the Clover Square Village. From Dec. 8 to 22, come by to visit Santa Claus at his cute little white house with the red trim.

Want to help play Santa? Volunteers invited to distribute gifts to the homeless By Jennifer Lang Three years ago, Erica Beckstead started a grassroots, community campaign to help Surrey’s homeless in some small way. She’d been traveling a lot, accumulating a mini mountain of leftover hotel shampoos and soaps as souvenirs. She realized they’d be ideal ingredients for gift hampers, so she hatched a plan to distribute the gifts to Surrey’s homeless people on Christmas day in the Whalley area. “My first year, I had about 50 hampers and three volunteers,” she told the Cloverdale Reporter recently. Last year, it grew to 200 hampers and 20 volunteers. This year, reality TV personality Ronnie

Negus of the Housewives of Vancouver is helping with donations. The volunteer army will head out on Dec. 25, and the call is going out to anyone who would like to join them. They’re planning to meet at Gateway SkyTrain station at 11 a.m. Christmas Day before setting out to distribute hampers. Anyone who would like to join them is more than welcome, she says. Looking back at how quickly her idea has grown, she can’t quite believe it. “My vision is a reality,” she says. To volunteer, or donate, reach her by email at whalleysantacause@hotmail.com. “We would love toiletries from soap to shampoo or toothpaste and toothbrushes,” she says.

Proceeds will benefit programs and services at Sources, which runs the Cloverdale Employment Services Centre and the White Rock Employment Services Centre.

Cash donations are also needed, along with donations of unwrapped Christmas gifts for children, and food items for hampers. “Our main focus is on families,” she added. Along with working with Atira Women’s Resource Society, Eversafe is also working with a new shelter in Burnaby for women aged 55 and up. One hundred per cent of the merchandise at Eversafe Doolittle Thrift Store is donated. The charity also finds new homes for rescue dogs. The store opened on 176 Street a year ago in August, and quickly outgrew its storefront. The shop moved to a 3,000-square-foot location at 6541 176A Street in January. “It’s a lot of work,” she said. “But it’s wonderful.

By Jennifer Lang Eversafe Ranch is asking for support in its appeal to share the spirit of the season with women and children this Christmas. On Dec. 22, Eversafe Ranch is hosting an Evening With Santa for about 60 families who might otherwise be waking up to empty stockings this Christmas morning. For many reasons beyond their direct control, such as those fleeing abuse, not everyone is eligible for the Christmas Bureau or other programs. “If you don’t have an address, you’re not eligible for the Christmas Bureau,” said Judith Ogden of Eversafe Doolittle Thrift Shop in Cloverdale. “We sort of fill that gap.” Eversafe Ranch is a registered charity started by Alan and Judy Daser. The organization helps families in need by providing furniture and housewares at no charge to those fleeing abuse. The Evening with Santa includes gifts for each guest and a food hamper for each family. Sponsors are needed to help sponsor families

More than 500 people packed a funeral home Saturday to say a final farewell to Gary Robinson, a former city councillor and respected figure in the Surrey recovery community. Teammates and opponents from both politics and hockey, as well as scores of people from the substance abuse recovery community, recounted stories of Robinson and his unique approach to things for which he was passionate. He fought vigorously on council for preservation of parkland – including Green Timbers Forest and Surrey Bend – and was instrumental in

securing a hockey rink for South Surrey. He served on council from 1987 to 1999, at the same time he was battling addiction. He sought treatment and went on to create a number of recovery homes. Robinson hosted and helped about 700 struggling addicts through his houses. Robinson died Nov. 2 of a coronary event. He was 57, and clean and sober, his wife Susan Sanderson said.

after Missing Women inquiry

Report needs new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to carry out recommendations, says Ernie Crey By Jeff Nagel The head of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Missing Women Inquiry says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased with some of the actions taken in the year since he released 65 recommendations aimed at protecting vulnerable women from a future serial killer. But Commissioner Wally Oppal told Black

Giving warms the heart. Donating a coat can warm two at a time.

Oppal acknowledges various improvements in policing since botched, badly coordinated investigations let serial killer Robert Pickton stalk addicted sex-trade workers in Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown Eastside for years until his arrest in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have more regional cooperation and they have better communications,â&#x20AC;? Oppal said, citing improved police databases, the regional homicide squad IHIT and other integrated teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But still the present patchwork of policing really makes no sense,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The evidence

might mean less local control over policing or less coverage if officers are pulled away to regional priorities. Oppal contends a regional force could still be created that allows decentralized community-based policing that respects their wishes. The province this month announced a pending review of policing in the new year that is expected to consider further integration of forces and potential alternate models. Victoria is also funding more work to combat sexual exploitation and human trafficking, which often sees criminals lure girls from small towns and reserves into drugaddicted prostitution in the Lower Mainland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do recognize that the situation is much improved from what it was when Pickton was killing women,â&#x20AC;? Oppal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The likelihood is that he would be apprehended quicker. But I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.â&#x20AC;? The provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to fully fund the WISH drop-in centre in the Downtown Eastside is one of the steps Oppal credits.

The province says it has fully implemented three recommendations and is working on numerous others. Ernie Crey, brother of murdered woman Dawn Crey, said he fears the drive for change has faltered since the resignation of former Lieut-Gov. Steven Point as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;championâ&#x20AC;? for Oppalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations. Point left as families of Picktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victims launched civil lawsuits against police forces and the government seeking compensation. Crey said the province must name a successor to Point â&#x20AC;&#x153;to drive the process forward.â&#x20AC;? He also said that if the province had compensated victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Oppal recommended â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the families likely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in court suing the authorities and much more progress might have been made. One initiative both Oppal and Crey said should be pursued is an intercity bus service between northern B.C. communities along the so-called Highway of Tears where many women have vanished hitchhiking. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the province is making significant progress on many of the inquiryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of us want to see something like this tragedy happen again in British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? she said after meeting with advocacy groups Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The province is committed to building a legacy of safety and security for vulnerable women.â&#x20AC;?

Weathervanes and whirligigs Surrey Museum exhibit channels the power of wind

By Jennifer Lang The wind-powered folk art of weathervanes and whirligigs is long overdue for celebration. Wind Work, Wind Play: Weathervanes and Whirligigs, an exhibit from the Canadian Museum of Civilization, has flown into at the Surrey Museum, where more than 30 pieces of this functional and decorative folk art will be on display to Dec. 21. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whimsical, fun, and all Canadian. The hand-made works span more than a century from the 1870s to the 1970s, and range from arrows to whimsical depictions of horses, fish and pigs rendered in wood, steel or wrought iron â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all meant to do their work from

atop a church spire, barn roof, or home. Whirligigs are wind-driven lawn ornaments that move frenetically but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually go anywhere. The examples of this charming artform on view at the Surrey Museum range from sawyers sawing, and fiddlers fiddling to farmers milking cows and voyageurs paddling as fast as the wind. The exhibit also showcases the mechanics and engineering in each piece. Visitors can make their own whirligig â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and find out how to predict the weather without consulting TV, radio, laptop or smartphone.

The museum is located at 17710 56A Avenue, Surrey. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Sundays, Mondays and statutory holidays.

symptoms until the disease is advanced. For that reason, we recommend that anyone with â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least risk for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; diabetes have a comprehensive, dilated eye examination at least every 6 months. Early detection and treatment are the key to maintaining healthy vision.
