Sample homes in Newton and Cloverdale barely changed from the previous year’s assessments, according to BC Assessment, while houses in Fleetwood, Whalley and Guildford gained between three and six per cent on the year.

Explanation proves elusive From page one

the sky on the heat of a candle – are increasingly popular among celebrants on holidays and weddings, leading him to caution that a number of the nearly 400 reports he’s sorting through from Dec. 22 to Jan. 8 can probably be explained. But so far, the veteran UFO chaser is stumped by the Cloverdale sighting. “How do you explain these other orange lights going off in other directions? What the heck is

it? We just don’t know.� He sporadically receives reports from Surrey, but never so many in a short time frame. “In Surrey, Cloverdale, definitely, that was an influx in sightings for whatever reason,� he said. They include a Dec. 22 report from a jogger who was running along 60 Avenue near 171 Street and saw six orange lights. More reports followed on New Years Eve, when a group of revelers went outside at midnight with the kids to make noise and light sparklers and all saw orange lights in a

Twenty-four teams from Cloverdale, Chilliwack, White Rock, Langley, Tswassen, Coquitlam, and Richmond competed in the three-day event.

line zooming at intervals across the sky. For now, Vike hasn’t determined what the true explanation may be. Maybe the answer lies in the simple fact that people take time off over the holidays, and are traveling at night to socialize. “They have more time to sit back, they’re more relaxed and have more time to look up. It’s the same when summer time gets here.� For more information, visit The Vike Report at http://britishcolumbiaufos.blogspot.com.

An Invitation Last week I got a letter from a former student. She thanked me for sending her a note at a crucial time in her life. In fact, it motivated her to go quit a job she didn’t really like, and go back to school. That incident made me think that a small gesture by one person can sometimes make a big difference in another person’s life. Often we stie such an impulse to reach out. We think, “What difference can a note or a phone call make? Besides, she’ll probably think I’m being an old busy body.â€? For my former student that one note had signiďŹ cant effect. This is one of the ways God works in His world. As a Christian, I believe that God’s Spirit prompts us, and we do well to pay heed. We’ve ipped the calendar to a brand new year, 2012. It’s a time of reection about life — its purpose and value — and about the future. So, today I would like to make a small but important suggestion to you, the person reading this ad.

Donors are heroes The view from here

To the editor: Re: “Goal has students seeing red,” Jan. 5 Thank you so very much for writing about this and I would like to extend my gratitude to these young adults. I am one of many recipients of a blood product every two weeks for the rest of my life. For one of my treatments, blood infusion, it takes thousands of donors, so anybody that is donating their blood is a hero to me. They are saving my life and so many many others. I get IVIG which is one of many different blood products and the more people donate the better for all of us, and for any future patients that need blood. These kids are my heroes, thank you so very much. I am an avid promoter for donating blood. You can see why, I have a rare Blood disorder called PID (Primary Immune Deficiency Disorder), but there are many, many more that need blood. Thank you for getting involved to write the story. Awesome.

One very grateful patient Maggie Bernet

What makes you so smart? Maybe we love to rebel against authority. Maybe we feel we’re our own experts, empowered by the ability to search any topic online. Maybe it’s the role of social networks, where some folks trust anything their Facebook friends tell them but refuse to believe a newspaper report. Whatever it is, too many of us seem too quick to distrust the scientists, experts and other traditional leaders of our society. Don’t get me wrong. Critical thinking is a good thing. Evidence, data, decisions and policies should be challenged. You have to be your own advocate. But it strikes me as an insult to doctors who invested years of study when we try to out-think them, armed with a quickie diagnosis from Dr. Google. Physicians, of course, weren’t the only ones fighting an uphill battle against the over-informed masses in 2011. Economists who said B.C. would be wise to keep the harmonized sales tax found their advice ignored by the majority of voters. Astronomers were still rebutting a viral email hoax that’s circulated for years, claiming a rare celestial event will make Mars appear as big as the moon. Pollution experts struggled to counter YouTube and Facebook posts claiming to expose the “real” radiation levels B.C. was receiving from Japan’s nuclear disaster.

Granted there are situations where scientists disagree, or may be aligned with opposing stakeholders. The debate over Metro Vancouver’s garbage incineration plans and the possible role of fish farms in the decline of sockeye salmon spring to mind. In the case of the Fukushima disaster, nearby Japanese residents were right to disbelieve almost everything they were first told. For the most part, though, I worry for our future if too many of us engage in knee-jerk cynicism. India’s prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh (a doctor and a politician, pity him) said it well last week: “Rampant distrust of all authority imperils the foundations of democracy.” I’d say it imperils our health as well. When too many vaccination rebels refuse to get a shot to help keep serious diseases at bay, we are all put at greater danger. We saw this two years ago with the H1N1 flu vaccine refuseniks and more recently with parents holding chicken pox parties rather than have their kids submit to Big Pharma and the needle. Besides a failure to filter and intelligently assess the glut of information now at our fingertips, we seem to have a related problem: an inability to realistically assess risk.

As a result, we have a low-level insurgency against BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters, despite the fact every square inch of the Lower Mainland is blanketed by wifi and cellphone signal networks. We have schools ringed with parents’ cars because of the pervasive fear that lurking pedophiles will snare our children on the walk to class – despite the fact nearly all molesters and abductors are known to their victims and families. We worry about the big C and how to avoid it because cancer rates are rising – never mind that’s largely because we’re living longer and not dropping from heart attacks as early. And we have the public’s intense fear of crime, despite generally falling crime rates, that the Harper government is exploiting to impose U.S.style justice reforms that many experts fear will be a costly failure. I’ve run out of space, but I suspect the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, moon landing skeptics and Holocaust deniers have already tuned out. For the rest of you still with me, thanks for reading. I trust you didn’t believe a word.

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value�. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it. A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that specific toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

Shooting victim dumped Surrey RCMP serious crimes officers are investigating yet another shooting this month, after a 35-year-old man knocked on the door of a Cloverdale home one night last week looking for help. The 35-year-old North Surrey resident was “dropped off ” near a house in the 3700-block of 184 St. around 11 p.m. Jan. 4, Cpl. Drew Grainger said. The man had been shot in the leg, just below the knee. He was briefly hospitalized then released. Grainger said the victim has been of little help to investigators working to determine what led to the incident and who is responsible. “We’re getting limited co-operation from the victim, and we’re getting conflicting in-

formation,” he said. “We haven’t had the ability to confirm how this all unfolded yet.” The incident is the latest in a rash of shootings across Surrey since Christmas Eve, including three fatalities. But while Grainger agreed the run gives the perception violent crime is on the rise, he said the incidence of gun-related crimes is actually “significantly down.” “There’s a spate of them for sure, but overall our numbers are down,” he said. “When we see these things, we see them happen in waves, it seems. We have just apparently experienced another one of those waves.” None of the recent shootings are related, and there have been no arrests in any of the investigations to date, he said. Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Varied gains for real estate Still time to appeal By Jeff Nagel Housing prices slumped in the second half of 2011, but real estate markets in the Lower Mainland ended up for the year overall. The gain was bigger in the western half of the region, with the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reporting detached houses typically rose 11.2 per cent for the year to $887,000. The hottest gain was a 34 per cent jump in Port Moody, where the Evergreen Line is now assured to pass through after funding for the SkyTrain extension was secured in recent months. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which covers Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, reported benchmark houses gained 3.3 per cent in 2011 to $523,000. Townhouses and condos dipped, however, declining 2.1 per cent (to $315,000) and 1.2 per cent (to $237,000) respectively. “One trend from 2011 that is clear was the preference for single family homes,� FVREB president Sukh Sidhu said. “For the most part in our region, both sales and prices of townhomes and condos either stayed on par with 2010 or decreased.� Median prices of detached houses in the Fraser Valley are up 26 per cent over five years. – Black Press

North Fraser, from Burnaby to Port Coquitlam, saw increased values on average, with pockets of increases in the 15 to 25 per cent range. Delta values largely held steady, while there were increases of up to 30 per cent for some areas of Richmond. Single-family homes in North Vancouver are up five to 10 per cent on average, with condominiums up less than five per cent.
