‘It’s a little sad to see it go’
Love it or hate it, tear-down begins on the Cloverdale Mall By Jennifer Lang A large excavator began tearing down the Cloverdale Mall Tuesday, its mighty jaw crunching into wooden beams and boards, sending clouds of sawdust and bits of debris into the air. They started with the entranceway of the former anchor store, Safeway. The crisp, dusty scent of freshly-milled lumber hung in the air. “It’s a little sad to see it go, isn’t it?” remarked a woman who briefly stopped to watch. “It’s a piece of Cloverdale history,” she said, adding she still missed the Safeway and its staff. The grocery closed in the mid-2000s, precipitating the mall’s inevitable decline. “When they took the liquor store out, that’s what killed it,” said another onlooker, who was surprised to learn the building was finally coming down. The leaking, aging mall’s half-dozen tenants – ranging from an insurance company to a theatre troupe – were out at the end of October. The final two tenants – a small Sikh temple and a soup kitchen run by local churches – left at the end of January, enabling demoli-
tion to begin in earnest. Crews have been removing drywall, asbestos and other materials while utility companies decommissioned power, gas and telephone lines in preparation. Recyclables and waste materials are being diverted to the appropriate facilities as demolition proceeds. “It’s probably going to take a week for the whole thing to come down,” mall manager Ken Woodward from Surrey Realty Services said. The mall is being torn down to make way for a new development called Cloverdale West Village, a mix of commercial and residential units. Construction on the project’s first phase is expected to get underway later this year. Phase one will consist of a single wood-frame, five-storey building with 22,000 square feet of commercial space, an underground parking lot and 100 residential units on the southwest portion of the site. The first phase will include a new home for the Cloverdale Legion that’s about the same size as the current branch at 10,000 square feet.

Blanche Vantol outside Martha Currie School last week.
By Jennifer Lang If Blanche Vantol always has a smile, it’s because she loves what she does. She’s a school crossing guard, and her enthusiasm exudes out of every pore. Twice a day, five days a week, she choreographs a complex ballet outside Ecole Martha Currie Elementary School as the nearly 600 students – along with parents and grandparents picking them up or dropping them off by car or foot – make their way across 184 Street. “It’s really been a privilege to just do my bit. It just makes my day,” smiles Vantol, a former businesswoman who came out of retirement to volunteer as a crossing guard at the school two blocks from her 58A Avenue home of 30 years. During her first shift in November 2008,
a surprised little preschooler told her, “You used to be a man!” They all know her now, and whether they call her Madame Blanc (to the French immersion students) or Mrs. Blanche, everyone seems to adore her. They trust her, too. “The only reason I let my daughter walk to school is because I know she’s safe,” says parent Jennifer Criddle, whose eight-yearold daughter attends Martha Currie. Vantol greets many of her young charges by name – their adult caregivers, too – and everyone from the tiniest preschooler in a stroller to passing motorists who drive the route regularly receives one of her trademark smiles. “I’m out there two hours a day, so there’s lots of time to get to know people,” she

says. “It really brings structure to my day.” In return there’s lots of hellos, gossip and even hugs for this multitasking blonde – an enviable, but undeniable distraction. Her goal is to keep cars and trucks flowing smoothly while allowing children to cross 184 Street safely. Stationed at “the corner” at the crosswalk, her eagle eyes don’t miss a thing. “Drivers are pretty good when they see me,” she says. Much of her role is non-verbal, she says: “I use a lot of body language and hand signals.” The 15 minutes before and after school, “when everyone’s either coming or leaving,” can be intense.

Maple Leaf to close its local meat plant “The closure of the Surrey plant is an important step towards consolidating our manufacturing at fewer, dedicated scale plants, resulting in reduced supply chain costs and better efficiencies,” said Rick Young, executive vice-president, consumer foods. “While necessary, we regret the impact on our skilled and dedicated employees. We will recognize their service and will support their transition to new employment.” The company release said the closure will affect approximately 155 employees at the Surrey plant who will receive severance packages that go beyond provincial labour requirements, as well as personal counselling and ongoing outplacement services and workshops. They will also be encouraged to seek employment at other Maple Leaf ’s facilities, including three

The big snip: your pet will be happier – and so will you they haven’t already done so. In addition to saving lives, your pet will live a calmer and happier life. Here are just some of the benefits for your pet: • Neutering generally reduces aggressive behaviours in pets. Neutered dogs are calmer and less likely to bite, attack or get into altercations at the dog park. Neutered cats don’t have the drive to mark and protect their territory and are less likely to spray or get into cat fights; • Female cats go in and out of heat every three weeks between January and November. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, spaying your cat will reduce her desire to escape to find a mate, spraying or inappropriate elimination, howling and attracting unwanted male cats onto your property; • Spaying or neutering your

It’s hip to be snipped! Did you know that in just seven years one unspayed cat and her offspring can produce more than 450,000 cats? For dogs, that number is 4,000 and one unspayed female rabbit and her offspring can produce 95 billion rabbits in that same period! Tragically, many more animals are born in B.C. than there are homes for. The BC SPCA and other animal rescue organization shelters can find homes for tens of thousands of these unwanted animals each year, but sadly many more are simply abandoned by their guardians and suffer a cruel death from starvation, disease, predation or injury. The BC SPCA has declared February Spay and Neuter Awareness Month and is urging all pet guardians to have their pets sterilized if

pet reduces the likelihood of them developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers; • Having your pet sterilized also provides an opportunity to have other important health procedures
performed, as necessary, such as an identification tattoo or microchip or teeth cleaning. Spaying and neutering is done under a general anesthetic, so your pet won’t be in pain. If cost is a concern for
you, check with your local SPCA. The SPCA provides assistance to low-income pet guardians where possible and many communities have low-cost spay/neuter funds administered through the

By Kevin Diakiw About 155 employees at a Cloverdale meat plant have been given layoff notices, as Maple Leaf Foods Inc. announced its closure. The company said Tuesday that it will close its prepared meat plant at 55B Avenue and 176 Street as of Sept. 30, 2011. The facility produces a wide variety of prepared meat products, including ham, sliced meats, sausage and deli products, primarily for retail and food service customers in Western Canada. The company will gradually wind down operations starting in May 2011. Production will be consolidated at Maple Leaf ’s prepared meats facilities in Saskatoon, Manitoba and Ontario where there is available capacity, after completing some upgrades.

Miss BC 2011 contestant Natalie Hilder isn’t only after a title – she’d like to change the world. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
By Jennifer Lang She’s overcome a fear of public speaking, launched her own business, worked at a group home for developmentally disabled people, spent a month in Kenya, and paints. And now Cloverdale’s Natalie Hilder, 22, is ready to add another achievement to her resumé– Miss B.C. 2011. It’s not such a stretch. Langley’s Tara Teng, recently crowned Miss Canada, claimed the Miss BC 2010 title first. “I’m definitely not your typical pageant contestant,” she cheerfully confesses. The red-haired, green eyed beauty – blessed with a glowing
complexion – is taking a break from her studies at Trinity Western University this year. Win or lose the July pageant, she plans to complete her degree in international politics. Until then, she’s keeping busy. Really busy. She created her own line of natural skin care products, recently launching a fledgling company called Viridis Naturals – Viridis is Latin for “green”, and she describes the products as Earth and human-friendly. She uses all natural ingredients to create moisturizers, lip balms and toners. “It’s actually all I use now. I don’t buy product from the store.”
She’s also organizing a charitable hike up the Grouse Grind June 18, with the proceeds going towards microfinance projects in the developing world. “I’m kind of training for it because I don’t want to lag behind if I’m leading it,” she says. Her fitness regimen consists of time in the gym for cardio and strength training combined with lots of walking. She also drinks three cups of green tea a day, and plenty of hot water with lemon. Healthy living is at the centre of everything she does, as is her passion for human rights – especially women’s and children’s rights. She volunteers at Ten See PAGEANT / Page 8

Hang up and drive Distracted driving was implicated in one-third of all crashes in B.C. last year, despite new rules The B.C. government has a major selling job to do to get distracted drivers to put away their cellphones and stop fiddling with their GPS devices and sound systems while they’re driving. Slapping people with $167 fines hasn’t seemed to make much of an impression. Since the ban on cellphones and other hand-held devices was instituted last February, 32,000 tickets have been issued, raising $5.2 million, and people are still dying because of distracted driving. In fact, according to the RCMP, distracted driving was a factor in a third of all crashes last year. If people aren’t getting the message that distracted driving is dangerous, will pumping up the penalties make them sit up and take notice? Not necessarily. People still drive without seatbelts even though the law has been around for more than 30 years and the fines are just as hefty. Tougher drunk driving laws have

their personal space. Like drunk drivers who think they drive better while inebriated, most drivers think they alone can multi-task while everyone else around them are losers. They fail to understand that the brain simply cannot multi-task and driving while talking or texting is
the equivalent of driving drunk. Don’t agree? Try this test: While driving to work, try to figure out a complicated math problem at the same time. You’ll be surprised to see where you end up after you miss a turn in your normal route. The myth of multi-tasking needs to be addressed and police need an ally to get their message across. One idea would be to engage cellphone manufactures, distributors and service providers in a multi-year communication campaign warning about the dangers of distracted driving. These companies have made millions promoting the idea of anytime, anywhere communications, why shouldn’t they use some of those profits to promote safety driving? Will drivers give up their in-car technology? Probably not, but at least they will know better.

The crown and the title don’t come with a cash reward. But she’s not concerned with that. She’s focused on the opportunities the role of Miss BC would bring in terms of reaching people with the things she is passionate about. It’s surprising to learn she had to overcome her fear of public speaking, a skill she’ll put to the test in July. “If you spoke to anyone who went to school with me, they’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s the girl who never talks.’” Talking isn’t a problem for her anymore. “I was tired of being afraid. I wanted to change. Over the last year or two, I decided I need to be braver now.” Pageant contestants will all have to perform in an opening dance number. “Besides public speaking, dancing was another fear of mine,”
she reveals. Undaunted, she’s taken up ballet classes in preparation. “I’m facing my fears.” A modeling course helped. And in the summer of 2008 she spent a month in Kenya as part of a work/study tour organized by one of her university professors. The medical facilities, clean water projects, orphanages and schools they visited left a deep impression on her. The experience was hopeful and uplifting, leaving her with a deeper appreciation for how capable Kenyans themselves are. “It really taught me to open my mind and not stereotype Africa,” she says. “We met people who were doing wonderful things and were so passionate. So much good can come out of it.” When asked about the two summers she spent working with de-

it meant to have compassion for other people – until then she hadn’t really understood it in her heart. “It’s made me much more passionate about human rights,” she adds. In fact, her main reason for becoming a contestant is the prospect of all the public engagements that would come her way along with the crown and the title. “I really hope to just talk about the issues of human rights, micro-

in North Africa the practice of female genital mutilation persists and at the savage treatment of young girls who develop fistulas because they were married and had children too early. “Issues like that are really important to me,” she says. Battling sexual slav-
ery and human trafficking are too. She says Canadians have a responsibility and a moral obligation to help others. She hopes to become a broadcast journalist so she can speak to the issues she feels so passionately about. The Miss B.C. 2011 pageant takes place July 1 to 3 in Fort Langley. Along with workshops on martial arts and etiquette, the contestants will wear gowns and sportswear, but there’s no swimsuit competition – another factor that sold her on this particular pageant. As a feminist, she’s come to terms with the beauty aspect that’s “certainly a part of it,” but insists it’s not the main
focus of the forum. It’s something she’s thought about a lot, she says, explaining she finally realized that a pageant is a great opportunity for a young woman. She was drawn to this particular pageant because of its emphasis on charitable causes. Last year, the pageant raised $33,000 for Cops for Cancer, an annual campaign involving police and other emergency services personnel. Contestants are urged to encourage supporters to donate to the charity while pledging support for contestants.

‘Just an enjoyable job’ Dealing with late kids is challenging; they dart out into traffic at the bell’s sound From page one
Dealing with the kids who are late is particularly challenging: They’re rushing because they don’t want to miss the bell – and so intent on their goal of getting to school they forget about traffic safety or the threat of getting hit by a car. Fortunately, Mrs. Blanche/Mme Blanc is there to help. “I’ve now saved about five kids from running right out into traffic, catching them just at the last moment,” she says. “There was one parent who gave me a movie pass [in gratitude]. I said, ‘Thank you.’ It is just an enjoyable job.” Vantol recently received what she describes as a “lovely and much sought after trophy” among the crossing guards of South Surrey and White Rock. It’s the coveted Frontiersmen Competition Cup, handed out by Frontiersmen of the Commonwealth, B.C Command, the organization that invests school crossing guards in B.C. This the first time anyone from Cloverdale has won and it came as a complete shock to Van-

tol, who didn’t even realize she was up for the annual award. So when she was called up to receive the 2011 trophy during a meeting, it came as a great surprise, she says. She’s been told it’s awarded for keeping proper time sheets and a neat, orderly uniform and for showing up. “For a novice I haven’t done half bad!” she jokes.
Vantol didn’t set out to become the best. She just wanted to give something back to her community. “I found that when I was retired, I became quite isolated. This has just changed that completely,” she says. “I’m out in my neighbourhood.” It’s a huge volunteer commitment, but one that’s not without its rewards.
Enjoy life
She now volunteers with the school’s reading program, too. As a school crossing guard, she’s asked to do volunteer work. Crossing guards help at Remembrance Day services and at the soap box derby in Cloverdale and other community events. “A large part of what we do is volunteering,” she says. Understandably, she receives a lot of gifts at Christmas and at the end of the year. “They’re pretty happy with me, for the most part,” she says of the school community. Are they ever. “We also have to congratulate and thank Blanche, our ever present and perpetually friendly crossing guard, for winning the Surrey and White Rock award for the best in the business,” school principal Mike Gordon said in December. “We already knew it, but now everybody knows. Thanks, Blanche!” In the summer, Vantol works in her greenhouse or in the garden. She has a husband, three sons, a daughter-in-law and one grandson. “I have a full life.”
GOOD JOB, SURREY Taxpayers love to complain about city hall, but from an employee’s perspective, it’s a great place – in Surrey, an annual ranking again shows. The City of Surrey has been named one of B.C.’s top employers – for the seventh year in a row. MediaCorp Canada reviews
more than 75,000 employers across the country, awarding marks for the workplace atmosphere, social health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off and other factors. Also winning the honour for a fifth year is Kwantlen Polytechnic University, which has campuses in Surrey.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTO
It looks like a certain movie production will be back later this month at this park south of Cloverdale.
terior of the blockbuster teen vampire movie heroine’s home has been resurrected and rebuilt in Kerry Park, ready for filming on location for Twilight: Breaking Dawn later this month. Diehard fans of the film series were dismayed when the Swan house set was torn down after production wrapped up on a prior installment of the film series and the small, wooded park returned to its normal state. Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart,
is the lead character in the movies – based on the wildly popular novels by Stephenie Meyer. “Twihards” camped out the last time the production was on the site, back in early fall of 2009 for Twilight: Eclipse, and local school children at nearby East Kensington Elementary had to change the route of the annual Terry Fox Run because of filming. The park is located on 28 Ave., near 184 Street. – Cloverdale Reporter
Kwantlen customizes Why Pay More? By Jeff Nagel Kwantlen Polytechnic University students are now voting in a referendum on whether to adopt a TransLink U-Pass, but with a major wrinkle. They intend to run their own shuttle service between the four Kwantlen campuses in Richmond, Langley and Surrey (Newton and Cloverdale) – paid for through an add-on fee that conveys other benefits as well. The planned MultiPass would cost Kwantlen students $40 a month, with $30 of that going to TransLink. Besides unlimited regular transit service and the inter-campus shuttle, students would get a gym membership, a delivery discount on organic food and access to on-campus car rentals. Kwantlen Student Association spokesman Nathan Griffiths said the shuttle will cost an estimated $500,000 a year but is critical to the plan working. “It’s going to revolutionize the culture on campus,” he said. “TransLink has been unable or unwilling to fill that need and the student association has stepped up.” Kwantlen students previously com-
plained TransLink service was too ineffective south of the Fraser to make the standard $30-a-month TransLink U-Pass attractive enough. They even staged a beat-the-bus race last fall that saw a runner go from campus to campus faster than a student who took the bus. Griffiths is optimistic the referendum will pass. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said TransLink isn’t yet in a position to offer enhanced service to serve Kwantlen students but applauded their ingenuity in crafting an enhanced pass. “They get full marks for creativity and thinking beyond the box on that one,” he said. Kwantlen would be the last major institution to adopt the U-Pass, ending fears its students might be left out. Students at Vancouver Community College, Douglas College, Emily Carr University of Art and Design and BCIT have all voted already to adopt the U-Pass, now reduced to $30 a month after the province mandated a standard, consistent rate for all. – Black Press

Extended days for Lord Tweedsmuir
Details are still being ironed out, but it’s likely there will be different start times for junior and senior grades By Sheila Reynolds Cramped conditions have forced two Surrey high schools to introduce extended hours next fall. Earl Marriott Secondary (EMS) and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary (LTS) will adopt an alternate schedule beginning this September, in an effort to ensure students can attend their
neighbourhood schools and access the courses and programs they need. Like many schools in the district, EMS and LTS are significantly over capacity and have multiple portable classrooms on site to handle student overflow. With no new school space on the horizon, and more residents ar-

riving each month, the schools have opted to extend the school day to accommodate a greater number students. Although details have yet to be ironed out, a newsletter says the amount of instructional time for students will remain the same. The plan is to have the Grade 8 and 9 students start and end the school day at a different time than the Grade 10-12 students and likely have different lunch breaks. Specific start and end times for the school day haven’t been set, but it’s anticipated the schedule will fall somewhere between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. daily. Parents are being reassured that extracurricular programs and activities won’t be impacted by the differ-
ent bell schedule. The timetable move comes on the heels of community consultation and a resulting report late last year that showed how important it was for Surrey parents to have kids be able to get into their neighbourhood schools, and to keep “choice” programs such as French immersion from being continually uprooted. The Surrey School District has not received capital funding for new schools since 2005, which has left thousands of students learning in portables, often for several years. At present, the district has more than 230 portables and it’s estimated there will be 340 in use by 2015. Add to that the fact that there are about

800 people moving to Surrey monthly, and the school space crunch is compounded. “The variables available to us are time and space,” said District Supt. Mike McKay, noting that many students were on wait lists last year or couldn’t get the courses they wanted at
with teachers at EMS and LTS who have numerous concerns about the impact changing the timetable will have on programs, lunchtime clubs, library access, extracurricular activities, families with kids in multiple grades and those with special needs.
“There really is no choice. Santa didn’t drop any new schools down the chimney.” - Laurae McNally their schools. “Let’s recognize that we’re not in an ideal situation right now.” Denying kids options, moving programs and not taking in new students simply aren’t options, he said. McKay said some schools are already using flexible schedules in some form and that the current move is to explore the possibility of expanding what is already happening. Teachers, however, aren’t welcoming the alternate schedule plans. Denise Moffatt, president of the Surrey Teachers’ Association, said she’s been meeting
“The feedback has been negative. Teachers have said to me ‘we want you to get the message out that this is not okay’,” said Moffatt. She said the union’s biggest concern is that this is not a temporary plan because there has been no commitment from government that Surrey needs more school space. “This can’t be a longterm solution,” Moffatt said. “Where is the pressure on government to provide these funds?” The district has asked every other local high schools to consider its needs and options as well. Other possibilities
include increasing the number of online courses available to students, upping the number of courses offered outside the regular timetable, or perhaps look at a “hybrid” system where some school work is done online and some is done in the classroom. Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally understands that the situation isn’t optimal, but says with no provincial dollars and insufficient school space, there aren’t any alternatives. “There really is no choice,” she said. “Santa didn’t drop any new schools down the chimney.” McNally said the district “desperately” needs an infusion of money. Even if it arrived today, however, it takes between two and five years to build a school. “This is the product of nobody paying attention to a rapidly growing district,” she said. “We, as a school district, do not make the final decisions.” McNally said people who are upset by the lack of school space need to contact their local MLAs. – Black Press
Get the ‘Flu shot, health officials urge Winter isn’t over yet – and neither is the risk By Jeff Nagel Flu season has been mild so far in B.C. but health authorities warn it may not stay that way. The influenza virus hitting eastern Canada hard may be felt more strongly here in the weeks ahead. “The winter is long and the risk is not yet over,” said Dr. Danuta Skowronski, physician epidemiologist at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. “It would be wise to learn from the experience in eastern Canada and prepare for that now, because the same could still happen here.” Influenza season typically spans November to April and the peak can happen any time during that period. There’s still time to get immunized even though it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to take full effect. Flu shots are still available through public health units, doctors’ offices and pharmacists. “We are carefully watching other parts of the country,” added Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall. This year’s vaccine does cover the H3N2 strain spreading in eastern Canada. The flu vaccine is recommended and free for the elderly, very young children, and people of all ages with
chronic medical conditions as they are at highest risk of hospitalization and death due to complications from influenza. The province expanded Pharmacare coverage in December to include two brands of antiviral drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza. They’re now covered for people at high risk of complications and who have flu symptoms during the 201011 flu season, as well as all residents at long-term care homes. Most young healthy people recover from the flu without difficulty, but those at high risk may be helped with antivirals, which work best if taken at the first sign of symptoms appearing. As a result, authorities advise that those at high risk have a plan in place for early treatment ahead of time. The flu is potentially a serious respiratory illness and comes on suddenly with fever and cough as well as general aches and fatigue. Frequent hand-washing and covering coughs and sneezes is advised to keep the virus from spreading. There’s been little sign in B.C. this winter of the the H1N1 flu virus that triggered a mass immunization campaign a year ago. – Black Press
