Walking for Cloverdale Event to help chart course for community kitchen By Jennifer Lang Hosts of the Cloverdale Community Kitchen urge supporters to join the upcoming Coldest Night of the Year campaign. It’s part of a national campaign taking place on the last Saturday in February – on average, the coldest night of the year in Canada – to raise money and awareness for local charities assisting homeless people. More than 60 charities organized walks in their neighbourhoods last year, including the Cloverdale Community Kitchen. In Cloverdale, 300 walkers raised $64,000, a feat that coincided with the kitchen’s official launch. The commercial-grade kitchen – constructed at Pacific Community Church after an ambitious fundraising campaign – is home to three existing programs assisting Cloverdale’s less
fortunate. Pacific Community Church runs the Monday night cafe, while Cloverdale Christian Fellowship puts on a Wednesday night meal. And on Thursdays at noon, a hot lunch is served up by members of the Cloverdale Presbyterian Church. This year’s walk-a-thon goal is to raise $70,000. “It’s a huge jump,” says Jim Heuving, executive pastor and event planner for the Coldest Night of the Year walk. He also leads the Cloverdale Community Kitchen team, which is in the process of hiring a kitchen director to oversee existing programs and liaise with local agencies and groups. “We hope to bring in a full-time coordinator. Someone to really take the kitchen to the next level,” Heuving said. “We want to push as far as we can See FEEDING FAMILIES / Page 3

By Jennifer Lang Al Cleaver, a former fire chief of Surrey who championed the city’s history and heritage, passed away last Thursday morning at Surrey Memorial Hospital. He was 88. That afternoon, the Surrey Fire Fighters Association announced the passing of the 2010 Surrey Civic Treasure “with deepest regrets and heavy hearts.” “Al will be sorely missed,” Surrey mayor Linda Hepner said, via Twitter. Former NDP MP Penny Priddy called him a leader, mentor, activist, and a warm and caring
man. “Will miss you.” Cleaver, who retired as Surrey Fire Chief in 1986 after serving 28 years, was also the Surrey Fire Service’s first training officer. In retirement, he continued to embody community service and volunteerism, earning recognition as a Surrey Civic Treasure in 2010. In a City of Surrey video of Cleaver filmed around the time he received the award, Cleaver said, “Believe me folks, volunteering is good for the soul.” His nomination was put forward by the Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archives Society, Surrey Heritage Advisory

Commission, Surrey Historical Society and Surrey Professional Fire Fighters Pioneer Association. Cleaver founded the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society, which raised more than $1 million for the Surrey Museum capital campaign. After the new museum in Cloverdale opened, Cleaver continued to lobby for phase II – a commitment he stuck with until his dying day. The original project was scaled back on the understanding a second phase would follow within 10 years. See MUSEUM / Page 3

Alert issued as SMH patient volume soars By Jeff Nagel A staff-only memo is warning of “unprecedented site congestion” at Surrey Memorial Hospital. The Jan. 16 site alert calls it an “all hands on deck” situation as the hospital grapples with multiple infection outbreaks, including c. difficile, influenza and other respiratory conditions. SMH is experiencing “the highest volumes ever of patients in Emergency needing admission without assigned beds,” it says. Fraser Health public affairs director Ken Donohue said the worst day came Jan. 11 when about 470 patients came to emergency compared to the high 300s. Donohue rejected suggestions that staff levels at the hospital are inadequate. “What we’re seeing are high patient numbers,” he said. “The acuity or the seriousness of the illness of many patients is a bit higher than normal and that means patients are requiring more care than normal.” He said there are high levels of the flu virus circulating in the community, with flu outbreaks in multiple residential care homes, and that’s one trigger causing higher than normal congestion. Donohue said extra staff have been brought on line as required. One of the key challenges has been getting patients discharged from hospital. “Everybody in the hospital needs to work together to ensure patient flow is working,” Donohue said. “If patients no longer need hospital care we need to do everything we can to ensure they transition to home or community care or residential care.”
The memo says managers and directors are helping find solutions and an operations command centre has been set up to pursue new strategies. Donohue said residents can help by calling 811 to speak to a nurse before going to emergency in cases involving less serious illness to see if there are other options besides hospital. It’s not unusual for a hospital to be facing various infections, particularly during flu season. Donohue said the c. difficile outbreak in one medical unit is being countered with restricted transfer protocols and enhanced cleaning and infection control procedures. An outbreak is declared any time there are three or more cases in a unit. C. difficile infects the intestines and can cause illnesses ranging from diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever and colitis and in some cases, result in death. According to a Fraser Health’s report card for Surrey Memorial, the hospital was admitted only 34 per cent of incoming ER patients within 10 hours in 2014, well off a provincial government-set target of 55 per cent. SMH was notorious for congestion for years, leading to the construction of both the Jim Patttison Outpatient Hospital and a new $512-million ER and critical care tower. The new larger ER opened in October 2013 but didn’t immediately improve congestion as much as expected, in part because it’s believed more patients who avoided the hospital in the past were now making it their first choice over other nearby hospitals.
to get this person going.” The kitchen was completed a year ago, and now it’s time for someone to expand programs and the facility’s reach into the community. With a year’s operation under their belt, the team has a handle on what the operating and maintenance costs will be. The kitchen is also certified, so volunteers can deliver food in a food-safe environment. Most importantly, however, the team has gained a deeper understanding of the need in the community, with growing numbers turning out for hot meals. These are the near-to-homeless – people on fixed incomes who are struggling to make ends meet. “We’re seeing families come out
and seniors, and senior couples,” Heuving said. “We’re just seeing the rising impact of an aging population. We’re seeing significant need around there.” Family meals and seniors meals are a couple of the ideas that he hopes will come to fruition down the road. With proceeds from last year’s walk, the Cloverdale Community Kitchen hired a consultant who spoke with more than 80 people in the community along with over 20 organizations. There were also three forums on the future direction of the kitchen. Heuving said the consensus was clear – the community wants the kitchen to have programs that will generate revenue – and provide employment. “That would be long-term,”
Heuving stressed. “We think hiring somebody who can start working on that agenda with more vigour will be critical. It’s just one step at a time.” Team captains and walkers are needed for the Feb. 21 event, along with 40 to 50 volunteers, plus sponsors. Participants can sign up for a two-, five- or 10-km walk through downtown Cloverdale. Registration opens at 4 p.m., with the walk beginning at 5:15 p.m. for all distances. The routes close at 8 p.m. To find out more, visit coldestnightoftheyear.org or call 604-5744001 ext. 102. Cloverdale Community Kitchen partners include the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society, Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, Cloverdale homeless committee, and churches.
Phase two of the Surrey Museum remained a focus From page one
But in 2011, the society, frustrated with delays, asked the city to return more than $200,000 plus interest from a $450,000 reserve fund. With the money, Cleaver and the Friends Society launched an endowment and a sponsorship program offering free admission to the museum. The week before, Cleaver seemed brightened by some promising news from City Hall
on phase two from fellow Friends of the Surrey Museum, the society’s vice-chair Ursula MaxwellLewis told the Reporter. He had been too ill to attend the meeting in person. Cleaver was a past president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, had chaired the Surrey Heritage Advisory Committee and the Heritage Services Community Advisory Board, and served on the Surrey Tourism Association.

It was the 8 a.m. concert band class. I was in Grade 10, or maybe 11. We were a big group—perhaps 50 of us— and as a bass player I was tucked in the back row with the percussion section. There were three or four guys on things like snare drums, tympani, cymbals and the like. I don’t remember the song, but Kevin had the cymbals. The song required one of those 1812 Overture-style flourishes—CRASH— and Kevin was having a hard time. We’d attended elementary school together. His house was just a couple hundred yards from the school. He was quirky. Not in his behaviour, but his English accent, big ears and a sharp nose set him apart. He was so painfully shy you had to strain to hear him at times. I also remember him as a kind and gentle kid. That day in band, all eyes were on him. The teacher stopped the song and told him to give the cymbals a real crash. *clink* “Come on Kevin, a big crash!” the teacher demanded. *clink* And so on, until the teacher lost his cool. “COME ON, KEVIN!” The room dissolved into laughter. At the teacher’s frustration. But also at Kevin’s inexplicable inability to express himself. Isn’t smashing cymbals the controlled mayhem all teens love? For some reason, Kevin just couldn’t. Years later, I wondered what life was like for Kevin at that time. Did he have many friends? Didn’t seem to. Was he teased a lot? Did he fit in some-

Vote ‘no’ to sales tax hike To the editor; Re: (I think “Robertson, Hepner elected to lead mayors’ council,” CloverdaleReporter.com Jan. 16 or see page 9) What a ridiculous concept to raise the sales tax in all of B.C. to fund transit initiates in Vancouver city. The TransLink tax grab has only benefited north of the Fraser River for the last 25 years. Surrey, which has shouldered all the high costs of commuting and [the] extra TransLink gas tax, now made even higher with tolls on two bridges and a third on the way. Give us a break. They are threatening “No Broadway corridor rapid transit” if the referendum is not passed. I say, Who cares?! Vancouver does. So what? I have lived in Surrey for over 25 years waiting for broken promises to be made good. And now it’s Vancouver again that gets the tax dole – with threats yet! Who cares? Surrey has too many cars on the roads, too.
Surrey’s mayor, Linda Hepner, was made TransLink vice-chair, with a bigger TransLink salary no doubt (with a secret vote Friday Jan. 16, 2015) to get the “Yes” vote. [A] Stacked TransLink board. What a joke! Surrey now has almost the same population as Vancouver city. It’s time to make good on broken promises for our rapid transit corridor through to Langley (promised 25 years ago), before Vancouver gets a fifth rapid transit line north of the Fraser River on all of B.C.’s population this time! Hey, why not just make the TransLink gas tax apply to all of B.C. That is fair too, isn’t it? Or [make] all the bridges in B.C. toll bridges? VOTE NO! Paul Fitzgerald Surrey

Dealing with the rise New year... in problem properties New Greetings Cloverdale/ Port Kells. I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year. The Cloverdale/Port Kells team looks forward to continued community engagement and we appreciate your feedback. We here at the district office have noted an increase in issues surrounding problem and unoccupied residences and properties. A majority of us have noted a transition from single family homes on larger lots to a different urban model. This is by no means an editorial comment, just our current reality. During this transition period some of these transitioning residences have been left vacant or rented out to tenants who are negatively impacting our community. These locations often require a multi-agency approach which has been proven to be effective when we work collectively with our partners. Please indulge me as I attempt to provide you with an overview from our policing perspective. A problem residence/property may be described as a location that has negative issues linked directly to it. This may include criminal behavior coupled with neighbourhood disturbances. Some contributing factors include absentee landlords, poor selection of tenants, vacant homes and some occupants of these locations who permit criminal behavior. Once a residence or location has surfaced as a problem property, we commence a strategy to address the impact of this location. This may be a hybrid of working with the property owner, landlord or the occupants of the property and is often coupled with working with the City of Surrey, or a heightened police presence and enforcement. A definite timeline is not often realistic in the successful conclusion of these locations. In a large cross-section of these locations there are issues surrounding landlords and tenants.

let’s talk about it...
The police do not have jurisdiction over landlord/ tenant issues and will refer people to the Residential Tenancy Branch. Hopefully, the following points covered in the Surrey RCMP Crime Prevention week 2014 publication will be of assistance and act as a reminder: Verify each prospective tenant’s name via picture ID, check references and contact their previous landlord. Ask probing questions such as, “Why are you moving?” and, “Who will be occupying the premises?” Once you have decided on your preferred tenant, request that they obtain a criminal record check. If they are the successful candidate, you may wish to consider reimbursing the amount of the criminal record check off their first month’s rent. It is suggested for anyone entering into a residential tenancy agreement to visit the Residential Tenancy Branch website for guidance at www.rto. gov.bc.ca.

By Jennifer Lang The line â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Be Back Before Midnight,â&#x20AC;? can be taken as a promise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or a threat, depending on your point of view. In the upcoming Surrey Little Theatre production by that name, Shannon Pedder of Mission stars as Jan Sanderson, a woman recovering from a nervous breakdown. She and her archeologist husband, Greg (Harry Pering), have rented a farm house in the country, in hopes of a restful retreat. But stories of a terrible murder and a ghost stalking the night told by their eccentric host, George (Joe Tenta), only serve to fire up Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination. Things only get worse when Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Laura, arrives.
It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before Jan, tormented by strange sounds and visions, finds herself at the brink of another breakdown. Described as a theatrical roller coaster ride with plenty of things that go bump in the night, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Be Back Before Midnight combines comedy and mystery in a horrifyingly twisted tale. The cast spans the Fraser River, with actors coming from Mission, Langely, and Surrey. Directed by Rita Price, and written by Peter Colley, the comedy-thriller is one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most produced. It runs Jan. 29 to Feb. 21 at Surrey Little Theatre, and is presented Thursday to Saturday

Surrey Board of Education invites public input to its 2015/2016 operating budget The Surrey Board of Education invites your submissions regarding program and service priorities as the board considers its 2015/2016 operating budget. Each year, the board works to sustain priority programs and services to support students across the district. As was true in past budget planning cycles, district needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government grants. This means there are difficult choices to be made in order to achieve the balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best way. In coming weeks, the board will meet with employee groups and community stakeholders, including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details of the budget challenge and to obtain input. Other community members are welcome to submit ideas, questions and suggestions regarding board priorities, and potential budget reduction ideas by writing to: Mr. Wayne Noye, Secretary-Treasurer School District No.36 (Surrey) 14033 92nd Avenue, Surrey, BC V3V 0B7 or Email: budget@surreyschools.ca Fax: (604) 595-6307

Robertson, Hepner elected to lead mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council
Pledging â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vancouver and Surrey take charge going into transit tax referendum By Jeff Nagel Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson unseated North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton to take the chair of the TransLink mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council in a vote last Friday as regional politicians head into a challenging transit tax referendum campaign. A second election saw Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner picked over Delta Mayor Lois Jackson for the mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-chair position. Both Robertson and Hepner, as well as Walton, pledged to fight hard for a Yes outcome in the plebiscite to create a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax, dubbed the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund transit and transportation expansion. Both mayors will also get seats on the TransLink board of directors dedicated for the mayors council chair and vice-chair. Serving on the TransLink board brings more time commitments and roughly $50,000 a year in extra pay. Robertson said he wanted the top job to ensure Vancouver had representation in TransLink decisions at the board level and to give the Yes campaign a high profile in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make sure we win this referendum,â&#x20AC;? Robertson said. Hepner predicted a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very tough campaignâ&#x20AC;? ahead, adding a Yes outcome is crucial to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and livability. She promised to provide South of the Fraser representation and de-
Delta may also send out educational material to its voters, she said, but added that may go out along with tax notices, reducing costs to just photocopying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it comes down to (No campaigner Jordan) Bateman having a problem with that Linda Hepner
Gregor Robertson
liver Yes votes from the region. Hepner last fall campaigned for mayor on a pledge to get a Surrey light rail network built by other means if the referendum failed, and she was pressed by reporters on whether she still takes that position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll deal with that (promise) if I have to,â&#x20AC;? Hepner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My focus right now is making sure we get a plan A, which is making sure this referendum passes.â&#x20AC;? Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam, was nominated for vicechair but declined, as did Walton. Moore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who nominated Hepner â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â said victory may ride heavily on the ability of the Surrey and Vancouver mayors, and their powerful election campaign machines, to get Yes votes from the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest cities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are large populations there and we need those mayors to play a predominant role in working at the mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council and with their electorate to win this campaign.â&#x20AC;? At Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, the mayors council made the chair and vice-chair elections a population-weighted vote.
Because Surrey and Vancouver have nearly half Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, the move meant Hepnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wins were guaranteed with Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backing, even if every other mayor opposed them. Jackson, the only mayor in the region to support the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement of a referendum on new transit taxes, was nominated by Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read, one of only three mayors who oppose the new tax. Jackson voted in favour of the tax at the last mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council meeting in December but in her pre-vote speech she stressed her ability to be a strong voice and highlighted concerns about goods movement in the region. She had been at odds with several other mayors over her support for the replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge. Afterwards, Jackson said she knew she had no chance of winning the position once it became clear Surrey and Vancouver were working together. Jackson said she will definitely vote and campaign for Yes in the referendum, but said her council hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet taken a position.
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay for it myself,â&#x20AC;? she said. The mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council intends to send out an information householder on their transportation plan before the ballots go out in mid-March.

The interactive event invites students from Grades 6-10 to test their skills needed for a variety of different careers currently in demand across the province. “This terrific hands-on program will help students apply real life experiences to their career planning,” said Ali Berman, who co-founded the event with husband Wayne Berman.
