Former Surrey mayor to take another run By Kevin Diakiw Standing in a pastoral area at Surrey’s old city hall, former mayor Doug McCallum told a crowd he was coming back for they city’s top job. “I’m proud to put my name forward for mayor,” McCallum told about 30 people at Monday’s news gathering. His campaign is going to have four priorities, he said. They will include crime, transportation, spending at city hall and the introduction of a ward system.

McCallum is one of three big names so far looking to run Surrey for the next four years, joining Surrey First’s Coun. Linda Hepner and independent Coun. Barinder Rasode. McCallum said homicides increased by 127 per cent between 2012 and 2013. “We need a new approach to fighting crime,” McCallum said, adding he would push for a “proactive” approach, where police would attack crime before it happens. It would involve more foot patrols, bike patrols

and motorcycle patrols. The 95 officers being promised by the current city council over the next five years should be here in the next three, he added. Asked how he would pay for that, he said it would be through cutting waste at city hall. He said he would disband the Surrey City Development Corporation, an entity created by the city to develop properties in Surrey. “That’s not a role of government to be in land

Council needs to lobby federally From page one
speculation,” McCallum said. “We need to have simpler government… let’s get back to the basics and provide leadership in government.” He described transportation in Surrey as a “mess.” He said council should be dogged in its determination to gather financing from senior levels of government for transportation. He said the window of opportunity to get that funding from the federal government is now as it faces an election next year. “Timing is everything when you’re looking for money from the provincial and federal gov-
ernment,” he said. “We need to be on the phone with them every week.” McCallum also wants to see the return of wards to Surrey, a change in position since he was mayor. “Both culturally and geographically, it makes sense,” McCallum said. “If I’m elected, I will start the process with the provincial government to bring wards into Surrey.” He said there would be four wards, with two councillors each, and the mayor would be elected at large by the whole community. “It’s time for new leadership, it’s time to get things done,” McCallum said. “That’s what I’m all about.”
McCallum is a fiscal conservative who had many supporters when he was mayor from 1996 to 2005. But he was ousted amid much controversy in 2005
during a sexual harassment investigation into one of his senior managers. The civic election will be held Nov. 15.

When it comes to acknowledging gifts and cards, a reader wonders what’s up with kids these days
I
s saying “Thank you” for gifts and cards a lost art? Reporter reader Shelley Hader is wondering what’s up with kids these days. She wants to know why her nephews and nieces and other young family members don’t seem to acknowledge gifts, cards or money they’re sent on birthdays, graduation or other special occasions. “We never get a response back [saying] that they received the gift or cards or money,” she says. “Do they just expect it, or know they are going to get something but they don’t have to say thank you?” Shelley points out that when she was growing up, she was taught to thank those who sent gifts or cards. To this day, she always makes sure to acknowledge gifts and favours from family, friends, co-workers, bosses and neighbours.
“We don’t understand,” she said, appealing to her local paper. “And we are not that old, either. Any explanation would be appreciated so we can understand the new generation growing up.” We decided to throw the question over to our Facebook friends, who offered some responses and theories, revealing a technological divide along with evidence of a generation gap. Turns out it’s not just kids who think the tradition is past its prime. “Most people use technology now,” commented Niamh Kavanagh. “I used to write thank you cards for all my baby gifts etc. and people asked me to stop. They didn’t want to receive the cards because it was clutter, and they just threw it out anyway.” The majority of commenters, however, said they think it’s just plain rude not to ex-
Points of view
press thanks. “Kids today are greedy,” said Jeff White. “So the gifts are expected, not appreciated.” “An acknowledgement or thank you, whatever media you choose, is only good manners and shows respect for the person that took the time, energy and thoughtfulness to get you a gift in the first place,” added Irene Wright. Sigrid Tilley said when her daughters were younger, she make them write thank-you notes, explaining that it was important to acknowledge the gift-giver’s effort and good will. “[I’m] happy to say that they are still writing a thank you note or a quick phone call to say, ‘Thank you’ and yes, they are teenagers now.” It’s difficult to know if we fogies should feel vindicated or hopelessly out-of-touch, so at the risk of sounding outdated as the squeal of a dial-up modem, “thanks” for sharing.

Family-run dairy farms are the norm in Canada
To the editor; This is in response to the opinion of Mike Harvey expressed in the Cloverdale Reporter (“Ashamed of animal abuse,” June 26 ). This is in regard to the abuse of dairy cows which has taken place on a mega dairy farm in the Fraser Valley. Mr. Harvey states that this is common place across Canada. Almost all dairy farms in Canada, are family owned and operated by the family. With little outside help. This is in contrast with this mega dairy farm. It is obvious that the people involved were there for a paycheque and not because they loved being involved with animals. On our family farms, the animals are part of the family. Whether we talk about horses, cats, dogs, or cows. If during the night there is activity expected in the maternity stall, many of us will get up any time, during that night, and check if assistance is needed.
This mega dairy farm has thousands of cows, while while the average herd, on milk recording in Canada, has 75 cows. Quebec has the smallest number per herd, which is 59. And the average number in our province is 147. Yes, we are all ashamed of what happened on this mega place but Mr. Harvey should visit some of our local dairy farms and get a better picture of how our animals are treated and are taken care of. Dairy farming means a lot of hard work and it is the love for animals what keeps them, us, hanging in. And those who lack the love of animals should never be actively involved with this type of farming. Steve De Jong Surrey dairy farmer

Monday June 16 should have been my grandson and his classmates’ final day at school and his graduation from Grade 7 (transition) into high school. This didn’t happen because of the teachers strike and a broken promise from the principal. I understand, or thought I understood, the problems and trials of our teachers but I believe it has gone too far and we must or should consider our children. It seems that they have been forgotten in the back and forth negotiations. I heard the disputes were about a pay increase. I agree that should happen to a small degree and [support] smaller classes and extra help for children with extra needs. Surely these two problems should be treated separately and over time. I always thought that becoming a teacher was a vocation and not all about money. I am changing my mind after listening to and experiencing the problems and disappointments that have happened in the last few weeks. How we solve the problem: I think one cannot give in to threats. It has gone too far. In fact, we can’t give in now. The threats have been carried out. We have no more to lose. Teachers, some of you have children and have seen the disappointment on their faces when class trips, sports day and other end of year activities have been cancelled. Think again and settle for a more realistic settlement. Just one more thought. Our children do not attend school solely for the academics, they also learn how to socialize, respect each other and mirror their peers and teachers behaviour. We need to focus on the children as well as ourselves.

Manager eager to share message with employers ‘It’s important to help people enage in society and feel they have a purpose’ From page one
leads that have turned into successful partnerships with employers such as Starbucks and Extra Foods. Instead, there’s a six-week working interview on site, at no cost to the employer. Ongoing support is provided for the new employee and staff. “We support them until we get into a fading agreement with the employer,� Cowan says, referring to a plan where the worker becomes totally independent, taking the bus or making their own way to work. She says hiring someone with a developmental disability is good business. Employers can hire someone to meet their specific requirements, even if it’s only for a couple of hours a week. Each partnership is individualized to meet the needs of both employer and worker. “We want to raise awareness that there’s a service available to employers,� she says, stressing, “We are not a volunteer organization. We don’t provide volVeronica Cowan unteers. We do a working interview to show the employer what they can do. After the six weeks, the outcome is to have a paid position for this individual, whether it’s two hours or full time.� To Cowan, Monika Reinhold is a champion employer. When she took over as manager of the garden centre last December, it was a time of transition for the business – not exactly an optimum time to take on additional challenges. She credits her son Marcus – who had worked with Buck and understood how much work he performed and what he was capable of – with convincing her of the plan. Cowan says by advocating a diverse workforce, Reinhold is not only enhancing the garden centre’s image by reflecting the diversity of the community and the consumer, she’s also spreading awareness to other companies. “People with disabilities are hard working, committed, reliable and are able to do anything.� To Reinhold, it’s important to spread the message to other employers to “do their part to help people engage in society and feel that they have a purpose,�

she says. “Everybody needs that. It doesn’t matter where you are at, in your life.� Cowan, meanwhile, is thrilled with the transformation she’s seen in Buck and Hutton, who recently moved out and into a home share. “She’s paying rent and becoming more independent. That’s the purpose,� says Cowan, “They’re coming out of their shell.� For Buck, the next step will be taking transit to work, on his own. He’s also interested in branching out to the food industry. It seems his aspirations are expanding along with his confidence and wants to work in a restaurant, in the kitchen. “He loves prepping food,� she said. “He doesn’t want to be a dishwasher. He wants to stand next to the chef.� If you’d like more information, call 778-438-3045.

One of B.C.’s oldest high schools – King George Secondary School in Vancouver – is marking its 100th anniversary with an activity-filled alumni weekend this fall. A huge celebration of the school’s past, present and future is planned for the weekend of Oct. 3 and 4. All former students and staff are welcome to attend. The organizing committee is reaching out to all corners of the province to spread word of the event. There will be a nostalgia room with pictures and mementoes from early years of the school, “Era� rooms to reawaken old memories, a social hall for dancing to the old tunes and an opportunity to sing and jam in the music room. Attendees will be invited to pose for candid street shots, and tour the old West End. There’s also a pancake breakfast, Friday and Saturday evening buffets, and dancing. For information or to register, email KingGeorge100th@gmail.com, or call the school at 604713-9888 or 604-681-9086. There’s also a Facebook page (Facebook.com/KingGeorge100th).
