Business association renewed by members

This week’s Historic Stewart Farm’s Heritage Bus Tour will share little-known stories about Surrey’s oldest neighbourhoods, including Cloverdale, shown here in 1950 looking north on 176 Street. The Clova theatre and Clover Inn are pictured on the right. The farm’s curator and a City of Surrey heritage planner will also be on board. More on page 13.

By Jennifer Lang Raising Cloverdale’s profile through welcome signage, cracking down on property crime and attracting new business are among the priorities for the Cloverdale BIA as it embarks on its next fiveyear-term. The board of directors of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association is acknowledging the support given by its members, who have endorsed the organization for a new term starting in March. The purpose of the organization is to help town centre property owners improve and promote the local business district. “As a long time resident and business person in Cloverdale, I am pleased to be part of a forward thinking business association that

wants to make the Cloverdale town centre a safe and desirable place to conduct business, life, work and play,” president Rob Paterson said. The board is spearheading the creation of a five-year plan, Paterson added. Priorities being considered include landscaping projects, particularly along Highway 10, and adding new ‘gateway’ signs to highvisibility locations. Candidates include the Hwy 10/ Hwy 15 crossroads and the corner of 176 Street and Hwy 10, a logical spot for playing up the district’s heritage appeal. The BIA is also looking at how best to create a formal heritage district in Cloverdale. One suggestion is to restore See BIA / Page 5

Kwantlen student wins Ed Schellenberg award Inaugural recipient is a single parent who wants to build a better life for family By Jennifer Lang A single dad from Cloverdale is the first-ever recipient of a scholarship honouring the memory Ed Schellenberg. Douglas Rush, a Kwantlen PolytechnicUniversity appliance servicing student, has been awarded the $1,000 scholarship “It’s really an honour,” said Rush, who owned a T-shirt franchise for 16 years before setting out on a new career path. He’s raising two teens, and is enrolled in the appliance servicing program, where he’s described as an intelligent,

modest and hardworking student. “He’s had a few curveballs thrown at him – life will do that – and he’s responded by making the most of this opportunity to get a great job that will give him and his family a more secure future” said instructor and program chair David Fengstad. The Ed Schellenberg Memorial Endowed Scholarship recognizes a student who demonstrates a passion for giving, at work and in life, and strives to perfect his or her skills in order to benefit the lives around them. By all accounts, these are qualities Rush embodies in spades.

Engstad said Rush is also passionate about giving to others – he’s volunteered for two humane societies in the past – which is a characteristic he shares with Schellenberg. “What we emphasize in the program is honesty, integrity and professionalism in service. These are the values Ed represented and we will carry forward on his behalf,” said Fengstad. Schellenberg was an exceptional gasfitter who had hundreds of repeat customers and referrals.

$$$$$ MONEYMATTERS $$$$$ The Showdown: RRSPs vs. TFSAs

Identity Theft

Megan Battersby, Communications Specialist at G&F Financial Group

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

As the RRSP contribution deadline looms ahead, we are often asked, “What is the difference between an RRSP and a TFSA, and which one should I contribute to?” Both RRSPs and TFSAs offer tax saving opportunities, but the essential difference between the two is when these tax savings occur. RRSPs defer taxes, meaning you receive a tax credit when you contribute, but will have to pay tax when you withdraw money from your RRSP (or Registered Retried Income Fund as it’s called when you enter retirement). The idea behind this is that you typically fall into a lower tax bracket when you retire, thereby lowering your overall tax liability. You should therefore plan to withdraw from an RRSP or RRIF only in in low-income years. TFSAs on the other hand allow you to earn tax-free investment income. Currently, you can contribute up to $5500 of after-tax dollars annually to your TRSA and shelter your investment income from tax. Investment vehicles TFSAs and RRSPs allow you to invest in any investment vehicle, whether you choose mutual funds, equities, bonds, or GICs. Which one should you contribute to? The answer depends on your investment goals and risk appetite. When deciding which investments to hold within an RRSP or TFSA, a general rule of thumb is to try and shelter your investment income that has the least favourable tax treatment, such as interest income. That way you receive the greatest tax benefit from your TFSA or RRSP.

Goals and expectations When deciding between a TFSA and RRSP, ask yourself a few key questions. What are your saving goals? Are you saving for long-term retirement, or do you have a shorter-term goal in mind, such as saving for a down payment on a house or new car? If your goal is to save for retirement, what tax bracket do you expect to fall into when you retire? If you expect to have a higher tax bracket when you retire it may make more sense to invest in a TFSA. There are also other factors to consider, including whether or not you plan on reinvesting your tax refund (you should), and whether you have a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) and education needs. We’re here to help Thinking about RRSPs and TFSAs? We’re here to help. By discussing your financial goals, needs and expectations, the experts at G&F Financial Group can help come up with an appropriate investment strategy and Smart Money Plan™ that is right for you. At G&F Financial Group, we focus on educating and empowering others to save, plan, borrow and protect, and dream bigger. It is our priority to ensure that you gain the financial clarity and direction you need to achieve your financial goals.

Question: Why is it a good idea to make an RRSP contribution?

Let’s do a quick example.

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

Without an RRSP contribution, and assuming she doesn’t have any other tax credits, Kiley would pay approximately $26,370 in taxes.

Before we get too far into the math, please note that each person’s circumstances are unique, so this is for general illustration purposes only. Let’s take a look at Kiley’s situation: Kiley’s income on her T4 is $106,000, putting her in the combined BC and Federal marginal tax bracket of 40.70%.

Now, let’s see what happens when Kiley makes an RRSP contribution. The RRSP contribution limit for 2014 is the lesser of $24,270 or 18% of her previous year’s earned income. For the sake of simplicity, let’s assume her income was the same last year, so 18% of $106,000 is $19,080. If we subtract the RRSP contribution ($19,080) from her gross income ($106,000), Kiley’s taxable income will be $86,920. The combined BC and Federal marginal tax rate for this income level is 34.29% and the taxes owing would be $19,074. Making an RRSP contribution reduces the amount of taxes you owe. In Kiley’s case, the tax owed was $26,370. With the RRSP

contribution, it’s down to $19,074, for a savings of $7,296! Not only has Kiley saved on taxes, she has also invested $19,080 toward her retirement savings!

Top driver injured in spill at Fraser Downs Friends rally for ‘Moneyman’ Marino, facing months of recovery By Jennifer Lang Friends and supporters in B.C.’s horse racing community are rallying around a top Fraser Downs driver who was injured in a recent spill and will be sidelined for several months. Jim Marino was tossed from his race bike, seriously injuring his leg, arm and hand, landing him at Royal Columbian Hospital. Friends and colleagues are gathering a week Sunday for a fundraiser to help ease the financial burden on the Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary grad, who faces months of recovery. They’re hosting a burger and beer night fundraiser March 1 at Samz Pub in Langley, starting at 6 p.m. A silent auction and raffle is also planned. Meantime, a Go Fund Me account has been set up online with a goal of $10,000. More

than $3,500 has already poured in. “Let’s pull together and put a smile back on Jimmy’s face ‘cause he deserves any and all the help that we can provide for him,” said friend Lexie O’Neill, who help set up the Horse Community Help for Jim Marino account and is one of fundraiser organizers. Marino is famous for his winning ways at Fraser Downs, where he’s a frequent presence

in the winners’ circle on race days – as are the horses he owns and trains. According to Standardbred Canada, Marino moved from Thunder Bay, ON, to B.C. at the age of four, when his father passed away. He attended horse camps, learned to ride, and by the time he was eight, was dreaming of becoming a harness racing driver. He’s enjoying an impressive career, winning

more than 1,800 races. With more than $10 million in career purse money earnings as a driver, it’s little wonder they call him Jim “The Moneyman” Marino. He was driving Mood Light in the seventh race Jan. 23, when there was a spill, and Marino was run over by another horse. He was headed home after several surgeries to repair fractures and ligament damage. To donate, visit GoFundMe.com/JIMMARINO.

He loved the outdoors and was an avid hiker, hunter and Ed Schellenberg fisherman who dabbled in photography. He was an innocent victim of the

Surrey Six murders. He had been servicing a fireplace on the top floor of a Surrey high-rise on Oct. 19, 2007, when he was fatally shot. Rush received his award during the annual Awards Ceremony at KPU Tech in Cloverdale on Feb. 5. The scholarship was created through a $20,000 donation raised during five memorial golf tournaments.

Why I won’t pay for parking at Surrey Memorial To the editor; Re: “Pay parking at hospitals criticized,” Feb. 12 It is not so much the pay parking I object to. It is the way it is charged. I regularly visit the cancer clinic at Surrey Memorial Hospital. It used to be that you got a ticket, parked your car, and when leaving payed for the amount of time the car had been parked. One of the problems I run into regularly is that I do not know ahead of time how much parking time I need. Sometimes I am actually in and out of the clinic in under an hour. Often I am there for over an hour, and rarely for over two hours. Once in, I have no opportunity to “run out to the meter and feed it” – which means I have to feed the meter enough so it doesn’t run out while I’m away from it. So I pay for three hours... and am back in 45 minutes – that’s a cash grab of two hours-value. I get nothing for that except a lighter-weight wallet. Why not go back to the old way, so we pay exactly for what we get? Even better if it was in 15-minute increments. Until such time as this system is changed, I will not park at the hospital. I’ll bring my husband, who can go shopping while I’m in the clinic, and when I’m ready to be picked up, a cell phone call will bring him back within minutes. No extra cost for me, no cash grab for the hospital or parking company. Esther Perry Surrey

Vote ‘No’ to business as usual To the editor; Recent comments on the proposed Congestion Tax claiming people are fighting mad at TransLink are dead wrong. Translink is the messenger, not the target. The Liberals’ first mistake is thinking the populace is stupid. Admittedly there are a few people who are short sighted and there also a few radicals but they exist on both sides. Taxpayers are broke, tired of being fleeced and tired of being subjected to ineptitude and police state antics. Opposition to government practices was first demonstrated by annihilation of the Glen Clark NDP. The public sentiment was later reinforced by the HST revolt and currently we have the unresolved Port Mann toll issue that the Liberals dearly want to go away. Case in point is Amrik Virk – Christy Clark moved him out of the Higher Education portfolio into another portfolio because he was caught – facilitating internal sanctioning in senior government circles. Does transferring him make him any less of a trickster in his new portfolio? Do the people want to be ruled by corruption? Is this the kind of leader people can follow? Never mind lateral promotions (he’s still on pace for his pension), why is he still here at all? It then follows that Christy Clark either has no backbone or no conscience. The people want leadership, they want honesty and they want value for their tax dollars – they don’t want business as usual. The acid test? If you have to spin it and sell it, there is something patently wrong with it. And let’s not forget that it is government mismanagement and lofty policies that created the congestion in the first place. This will end up back on Christy’s desk where it should be. The gauntlet demands satisfaction. Richard Keill Langley

Toddler death probed DROP IN CURLING! ham told CTV News the death of Charlee was “100 per cent accidental.” Graham said Charlee was too small to reach the bathroom sink, so she stood on a small plastic bin. She jumped down, slipped and smacked her head. She seemed fine that day but had a “horrible seizure” the next day. Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, media relations officer for IHIT, said “any time we investigate a suspicious death we treat it very seri-

ously. We ask that the public keep in mind a child has died and her family is now dealing with that death.” IHIT is asking anyone who may have information to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551IHIT(4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

BIA aims to attract new businesses to crime reduction involving the business community and police. The organization is also working to be more transparent, in response to the membership. The Cloverdale BIA was established 20 years ago to improve and promote the area south of the Fairgrounds to Hwy 10 (between 172 Street and 180 Street). It operates through a tax levy on property owners, and has an annual budget of about $100,000 – nearly half of that through sponsorships from the City of Surrey and private businesses. The organization cosponsors community events, including pre-Rodeo activities, the Clover-

historic street names, so signs on 176 Street might also be designated as Clover Valley Road, while neighbouring 176A Street could be co-named King Street, a nod to their pioneer monikers. An aggressive business attraction program is another goal. “We want to make it easier to do business,” executive director Paul Orazietti said, explaining the program could include an inventory of lease space and local contacts for inquiries, along with promotional videos showcasing the district’s assets. Another priority is a multi-pronged approach

By Sheila Reynolds A substitute teacher in Surrey whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;chaoticâ&#x20AC;? classrooms had children crying on more than one occasion and who once left kindergarten kids outside at the end of the day, has been disciplined by the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation (BCCTR). David Lee Burns worked as an on-call teacher in the Surrey School District, filling in at several elementary schools from 2009 to 2014. According to a consent resolution agreement made public by the BCCTR, the incidents in question related to time he worked at Panorama Park, Bear Creek and Don Christian elementary schools. In November 2013 at Panorama, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow the lesson plan left by the kindergarten

teacher and let things get so chaotic in the classroom that more than one student was in tears. At the end of the day, he took the class of five-year-olds outside and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return them to the classroom for proper dismissal, leaving the children on the playground during a busy time when the rest of the school was being dismissed. In January 2014, covering a Grade 6/7 class at Bear Creek, he again didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, despite leaving a note saying he had done so. He also provided â&#x20AC;&#x153;minimal instructionâ&#x20AC;? and much of the day was â&#x20AC;&#x153;free time,â&#x20AC;? according to the BCCTR agreement, leaving the kids confused about what they were supposed to do. The class was so chaotic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; children were coming and going freely, throwing paper airplanes,

talking loudly and running around â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that a frustrated child was found in the hallway crying. During two days the next month at Don Christian in Cloverdale, the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lesson plan again was again not followed. The school district had reprimanded Burns five years earlier, after an investigation revealed he had not properly evacuated students in his care during a fire drill, hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dismissed them properly and failed to read the on-call teacher file as required. A second discipline letter was issued by the district after the 2013 and 2014 incidents. In November last year, the teacher regulation branch investigated and Burns admitted to professional misconduct. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Black Press

Where would you spend school dollars? By Sheila Reynolds The Surrey Board of Education is seeking input on what its budget priorities should be for the 20152016 school year. As in the past several years, the board says the needs will once again outpace funds received from government. And that may result in â&#x20AC;&#x153;difficult choicesâ&#x20AC;? as trustees figure out how to best serve Surrey and White Rock students. Last year, the district had to shave about $9 million in expenditures in order to balance the $589-million operating budget and maintain existing programs and services, resulting in staff layoffs and re-assignments. Since 2008, similar cost-cutting moves have been made annually, including reducing support and district staff and cutting the number of instructional days in the year (extending spring break, etc.) to save Teacher on Call costs. More than 90 per cent of the operating budget

pays for staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; teachers, education assistants, principals and support staff such as secretaries and custodians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while less than 10 per cent goes to services and supplies, including utilities. (The capital budget is separate and pays for land and buildings). Each year, the board meets with employee groups, parents and community organizations to discuss challenges and issues facing the school district, and gather input. Community members are also welcome to send submissions to budget@surreyschools.ca by Feb. 27. Submissions may be mailed to Secretary Treasurer Wayne Noye, 14033 92 Ave., Surrey, B.C. V3V 0B7. A guide called Understanding School District Finances is available at http://bit.ly/1DmIABA. Additional information on the school district, including financial reports, are available at www.surreyschools.ca under the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tab. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Black Press

Congestion costs to soar without more transit: Study Longer commutes add up to high price for residents, business By Jeff Nagel The cost of traffic congestion in Metro Vancouver â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â already estimated at $1 billion a year â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â will soar to $2.8 billion by 2045 without major transit upgrades, according to a study released by the Metro mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; council to back the Yes side in the regional transit referendum. The study by HDR Consulting projected costs from longer commutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â including increased trip times, emissions and wasted fuel â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â as well as lost productivity and lost opportunities for residents, businesses and the economy. Underpinning the study is the assumption that a million more residents will come to the region over the next 30 years, and that if the transit service remains frozen theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll add 600,000 additional vehicles to the road system. That would moderate to 500,000 extra vehicles if the referendum results in a Yes vote and the upgrades allow more of the newcomers to take transit instead of clogging the roads. The difference translates into 33 to 40 per cent less in costs from congestion compared to the status quo scenario, although the study found congestion costs will increase even with the mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan to $1.7 billion by 2045. The study led by economist David Lewis argues traffic jams raise costs for businesses and makes it harder to succeed, while hindering job opportunities because worsening congestion limits how far workers can reasonably commute. Less time spent with family can mean higher childcare costs and other personal impacts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This quantified what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying happens with another million people â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a personal as well as financial impact to the economy that will affect all of us,â&#x20AC;? Metro board chair Greg Moore said. Referendum ballots go out around March 15 and Metro residents have until late May to mail them back with their decision â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â for or against a 0.5 per cent Metro-only sales tax increase to fund a $7.5 billion raft of improvements. The mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan includes major increases in regular and express bus service, more frequent SeaBus,

extra West Coast Express cars, more HandyDart service, as well as three major projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â light rail lines in Surrey, a Broadway subway in Vancouver and a new Pattullo Bridge. Moore said a No vote will leave the region mired in worsening congestion at an ever-mounting cost. No campaign leader Jordan Bateman called the study â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely flawedâ&#x20AC;? because it assumes there will be absolutely no transportation investment for 30 years. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s false, he said, because the province is planning a new bridge at the Massey Tunnel, the Pattullo Bridge can likely be rebuilt with tolls even after a No vote, and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has pledged to find a Plan B to build light rail in Surrey if necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one thinks thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be no transportation investment for 30 years with a No vote.â&#x20AC;? Moore insisted thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other plan on the table that has the backing of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayors and the provincial government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the plan and this is the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proposing to fund it.â&#x20AC;? Moore said the study factored in construction of the Evergreen Line and an expected Massey Bridge, and only examined the relative effect of the projects proposed to be built with the new sales tax.

Chamber of Commerce Week, celebrated annually during the third week in February, was proclaimed by the Province to recognize the leadership and significant volunteer hours put in by more than 125 Chambers of Commerce in communities throughout B.C.

Our board is excited to be working closely with the Cloverdale BIA on all 2015 events that bring people and business into Cloverdale area such as Rodeo Days, Doors Open Event, Blueberry Festival and the Santa Parade. We hope you will consider sponsoring these events and supporting the great efforts of the many volunteers that pull together these wonderful festivities.

I’d like to celebrate the hard work of Chambers and acknowledge that government shares their mission to build a diverse, competitive and sustainable economy.

Capo Construction puts up $2,500 sponsorship in Sunday afternoon’s featured race By Jennifer Lang This Sunday marks the debut of a new kind of harness race at Fraser Downs. It’s a 1 5/8 mile feature race sponsored by a community business – Capo Construction – in what’s hoped to be the first of a series of partnerships of this kind promoting the sport of harness racing. The featured race, taking place Feb. 22, at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, is projected to go for a purse estimated at $5,000 – when Capo’s $2,500 sponsorship is combined with Harness Racing B.C.’s purse moneys are factored in. The 1 5/8 mile race – twice around the track – will feature a 10-horse field, battling it out over a challenging distance to claim the title. The race is a partnership between Harness Racing B.C., the association representing breeders, owners, drivers and trainers; along with and sponsors Fraser Downs and Capo Construction. The association is excited

A Surrey heritage planner will be on board to answer questions and offer insight into the city’s heritage planning activities.

Fraser region is home to 45,000 problem gamblers By Jeff Nagel More than a third of B.C.’s problem gamblers live in the Fraser Health region, according to a new survey released by the provincial government. The Problem Gambling Prevalence Study by consulting firm Malatest and Associates estimates nearly 45,000 problem gamblers – about 35 per cent of the provincial total of 125,000 – live in the Fraser region, compared to 32,600 in the Vancouver Coastal area and nearly 20,000 on Vancouver Island. While Fraser’s share is roughly in line with its proportion of B.C.’s population, the 2014 survey also found nearly 26 per cent of Fraser residents gambled at casinos over the previous year – higher than all other regions, where the rate ran from 16 to 20 per cent. And the survey found 2.4 per cent of Fraser residents reported borrowing money or selling something in order to gamble in the previous year – far higher than Vancouver Coastal residents at 0.4 per cent and Vancouver Island at 0.8 per cent. More Fraser residents than the provincial average also reported feeling guilty about gambling, betting more than they could afford to lose, or felt stress or anxiety from gambling. The results point to a lower overall rate of problem gambling across B.C. – 3.3 per cent in 2014, down from 4.6 per cent or 159,000 gambling addicts in 2008. Problem gamblers are defined as those

whose gambling creates a moderate to high risk of harm to themselves or others. Another 7.9 per cent of B.C. adults are counted as being at low risk, bringing the total considered at risk to 11.2 per cent. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled a series of new commitments this month to further reduce the province’s rate of problem gambling. Part of the plan is for an increased focus on young people under 25, who are statistically less likely to gamble but at greater risk of becoming addicted if they do. The survey found 62 per cent of young adults gamble in some way – lower than other age groups – but nearly 26 per cent counted themselves either at risk or problem gamblers. A responsible gambling component will be added to the physical and health and education curriculum in the school system. Aboriginals, South Asians and the poor were also identified as high-risk groups. At-risk or problem gamblers are also three times as likely to have had a mental health problem, according to the findings. The province is pledging more research into online problem gambling to find ways to reduce the risks for users of playnow.com, the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s online gambling portal. Other changes planned include placing GameSense advisors, who now offer support to potential problem gamblers in

The Cloverdale

casinos, in Community Gaming Centres as well. BCLC also plans to roll out new time and money budgeting tools to help casino patrons and playnow.com users control their gambling. About 1,600 problem gamblers, or about 1.3 per cent of B.C.’s estimated total, are getting treatment through a provincial government program, the study found. The province so far isn’t taking any new steps to tighten liquor access at casinos. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall in 2013 recommended either reduced hours of alcohol service or higher drink prices to reduce risks for problem gamblers, as well restricting ATM cash withdrawals. The government said it set minimum drink pricing in all liquor establishments and the BCLC will add mandatory staff training about the cognitive effects of drinking and the jump in impulse behaviour that can result. The provincial plan promises further study on whether slot machines can make less use of high-risk features that generate the most compulsive behaviour – another of Kendall’s concerns – although it dismisses his suggestion of posting risk ratings on each machine as ineffective. Commercial gaming brought the B.C. government nearly $1.2 billion in net revenue, after prize payouts and expenses, in 2013-14.
