Businesses surveyed By Jennifer Lang Will businesses in downtown Cloverdale agree to give up some onstreet parking in return for a heritage streetcar along 176 Street? A City of Surrey questionnaire distributed to 176 Street businesses also asks if the “Clover Belle”

would have a positive impact and attract new visitors here. The survey is part of the city’s ongoing feasibility study to consider the installation of a heritage street car line on 176 Street between Highway 10 and 58A Avenue. Running a dual-track on

either side of the street – instead of a single, northsouth track along the eastern curb – would result in eight fewer parking spaces between Highway 10 and 58 Avenue. Potential route and stop locations would be at existing corner bulges on each block.

More for animal centre The cost and scale of a new animal shelter in Cloverdale has gone up in price, partly due to a requirement to build roads to the new facility. Surrey staff appeared before council last week asking for an $2.5-million increase in the budget of the Surrey Animal Care Centre, bringing the total cost to $7.6 million. The original budget for the 17944 Colebrook Road facility didn’t include offside servicing costs for road access, and provide sewer and water service extensions.

The low bidder for construction of the facility was Double V Construction limited who will build it for $4.49 million, before tax. The city is creating the shelter as it parts ways with the SPCA. Surrey’s Animal Care Centre will focus on animal-control issues, such as dogs found roaming. The BCSPCA is also creating a new facility on a 5.5-acre parcel of land in Cloverdale that will deal purely with animal cruelty issues. Both sites are expected to be up and running next year.

Alan Dann, right, walks out of his shop on 176 Street as a crew member begins to set up for the Sept. 1 TV shoot.

His varied resume includes serving in the air force From page one

Dann’s scene took place in his service shop, past the sign that says, ‘Employees only.” His acting job involved taking some items off a shelf, placing them in a basket, then crossing the narrow aisle as the scene’s principal actor walked past him, then doing the same thing on the other side. “Anyway, it was fine,” said Dann, who wouldn’t reveal who the actor was. “It only took a few minutes.” He’s not even sure if viewers will be able to recognize him in the short scene – or even if his face will be visible. “It was just a little part.” A lifetime of involvement in service clubs and community organizations has given him plenty of practice in public speaking, but he’s never acted before. “Never, never, no,” he said, shaking his head emphatically. But he wasn’t nervous about his small role, despite his lack of experience or formal training. “I’ve taken part in quite a few organizations in and around Cloverdale,” he explained, pointing to his time as president of the B.C. Junior Chamber of Commerce and his volunteer efforts with the Cloverdale Rodeo. He was also part of community efforts to build Hoffman Manor retirement home. But he’s most proud of his 35 years as a fire brigade volunteer in Cloverdale.

“Everybody who worked downtown was in it,” he said. Dann’s Electronics is the oldest continually operating, family-owned business in Surrey. Alan Dann grew up in the apartment upstairs, and the building itself is on the city’s heritage register. It was built in 1920, and was initially the Royal Bank branch. The store was originally run by his dad, Ernest Hugh Dann, and Alan took it over in 1973. “I may be the longest-running merchant in Surrey, for all I know,” says Dann, whose resume extends back to the Second World War, when he was in the air force. “But that’s another story,” he grinned. He had high praise for the production crew, which not only ensured he had a ride home, but returned bright and early the next morning to tidy up. Dann, who still works six days a week, admits it’s unlikely he’ll embark on a TV career. “It was quite interesting,” he said, reflecting on the experience a few days later. “But I wouldn’t want to do it for a living.” – The episode, titled “Neither Here Nor There,” airs tomorrow night (Sept. 23) at 9 p.m., on CityTV.

Coupon book sales are a valid school fundraiser Other sources of revenue take a lot more work, and besides, there are lots of local places to use discounts To the editor; Re: “Coupon books only benefit elite,” Sept. 15, 2011 I would like to respond, as the member of a PAC, and as a parent, to the letter written last week about the Entertainment Books. I disagree with almost all that the writer said. Our school last year sold 100 books, at which we made $13 per book (out of $46 charged). It is not a hard fundraiser to do. You send the books home and either the families want them or they don’t. Maybe the parents can sell them at their place of work. All in all, for the money that is made, it is a “simple” fundraiser. I have been involved in fundraising for the past six years and it is not an easy job. Some things work and some things don’t. Putting together a Bingo night, for example, takes a lot of work and would maybe make a few hundred dollars. A movie day at the local theatre might bring in $300-$400, but that only happens when an

appropriate movie is playing. That is maybe once a year, sometimes twice. An Entertainment Book fundraiser consistantly brings in just over $1,000 each year. When it is so hard to raise money and so many things the school needs, it is hard to not do it. Yes, there are a lot of Vancouver coupons in the book. But there are a lot more people living in the Vancouver Area than in Langley, Surrey, etc., and there are also a lot more businesses participating in the books as well. That being said, there are tons of coupons in the book that are meant for Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, etc. And they are not all about restaurants and travel. Maybe the book isn’t for all families, but then those families wouldn’t buy one to begin with. You are able to go through the book to ensure you will use at least some coupons, before you buy one. Without mentioning specific businesses, I have used grocery coupons, bowling cou-

pons, entertainment coupons, fast food restaurant coupons. I don’t travel and rarely eat in “fancy” restaurants, but still manage to save more than double what I spend on the book. And these coupons I use are in Cloverdale and Langley. And on things I would already be buying. So, not only do I support my local school by buying a book, I also support the local businesses that choose to put a coupon in the book. I don’t support the Vancouver merchants because I don’t use their coupons. And if they are really so bad, why are most schools selling them? Because it is a valid fundraiser and PACs make their money where they can. And, like all fundraisers, it is always optional to participate, or not.

To the editor

Corry Hill George Greenaway Elementary PAC

School funding will hurt economy To the editor; The Surrey Board of Trade’s “Education Today, Productivity Tomorrow” campaign, including the City of Surrey, the Surrey School District, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Simon Fraser University, is concerned that inadequate education funding for Surrey may result in negative and longterm economic and social im-

pacts on this region. Due to the dramatic population increases, which continue, there are enormous pressures on schools and post-secondary institutions. Kindergarten to Grade 12 needs $273 million for school construction to house the 7,000 students currently in portables (which could rise by as many as 5,000 in five years), and Simon

Fraser and Kwantlen have half the post-secondary seats, per capita, in Surrey and the South Fraser, compared to the rest of the province. Kwantlen is funded at the lowest rate per student of any university in B.C. We agree money is hard to find, but the future consequences of not responding to these education funding short-

falls will impact our economic well-being, and force our youth and mature students to go elsewhere to learn, or worse still, not go on at all. We cannot afford that either. Please speak to your MLA. Anita Huberman, CEO Surrey Board of Trade

They’re fighting the wrong fight To the editor; Whether it’s the HST, or the GST/ PST, it is still tax. The real crime is what is taxed, not how it’s taxed. All the efforts and energy put into defeating the HST in favor of GST/PST has gained us nothing ands in fact may have cost the B.C. tax payers huge amounts to switch back. The enormous effort to defeat this would have been better spent on fighting to eliminating all sales tax on food, medicines, and any other products ingested by humans that are by design, or natural for the

The Cloverdale

purposes of sustaining human life. Taxing products that we ingest is like taxing the air we breathe. How sad it is that we have allowed this to happen. If we are going to fight against a tax it should be to stop the taxing of any foods, drinks, or medicines whether they are deemed healthy or not, and whether we buy just one or a dozen. This is where the real fight should have been. Ken Thomas 100 Mile House, B.C.

The rain cleared up by the time this year’s Terry Fox Run gets underway in Cloverdale Sunday morning.

Fox legacy still lives on By Jennifer Lang The annual Terry Fox Run is bound to inspire grand gestures. Eleven-year-old Jessica Hernandez realized she could make a very personal contribution to the cancer fight ahead of this year’s run. The Cambridge Elementary student has

been participating in the run/walk in Cloverdale every year since she was a baby. Her nanny is battling cancer and decided to get a wig, Jessica’s mom Debbie reports. So when Jessica – who has beautiful, thick, long brunette locks – went to the salon for her

standard back-to-school one-inch trim this September, she asked about the length needed for wig making donations. Eight inches, came the reply. Jessica was able to donate a full 12 inches, and still have plenty of her own hair left over. “She has thick hair, so

‘Stainmaster, Cruiser’... meet

I am sure it will help put a smile on someone,� Debbie says. “We are told that hair donations are down right now, because a lot of kids and adults have shorter hair, and they do need a minimum eight inches in length.�

Moonshine maker busted A Surrey senior has been arrested for allegedly selling moonshine out of his basement window. A 65-year-old man in the 12500 block of 70 Avenue was taken into custody after police found five large barrels containing about 200 gallons of home-made spirits in his home. He had allegedly been brewing it in a trailer in the back of the house. A search of the home found another 30 containers of distilled liquor, police say. Police believe the man was selling the spirits to

Surrey Square Wheelers reach out to a new set of partners By Jennifer Lang The Surrey Square Wheelers are venturing onto a new dance floor this fall, offering lessons in Cloverdale for beginners. An introductory square dance program starts Oct. 6 at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre, at 6188 176 Street. Partnering up with the City of Surrey’s Leisure Services department is a first for the long-running club, which boasts members from across Surrey, North Delta, Langley and Mission, and is hoping to reach new members. A professional square dance caller will be on hand to call the steps at the classes, and some experienced Square Wheelers will be joining in. Learning square dancing is a “little bit complex”

for beginners, says club representative Bryan Jensen, who took up the discipline about 15 years ago. It’s easier to learn the steps and moves if you can dance with people who already know what to do, he says. The benefits of square dancing are many. It’s a low-impact activity that gets your heart and lungs pumping, while improving balance and coordination, and mental agility (keeping up with all those calls). “Actually, it’s a heck of a lot of fun,” Jensen says, referring to square dancing’s irrepressible – inevitable – social side. Not only do you need a partner, you need three other dancing pairs for a square. “You get eight people together, and by the end of

A brisk workout, and it’s fun new dancers will have a place to go – Surrey Square Wheelers – if they want to keep square dancing. The Surrey Square Wheelers get together for weekly dances at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, at the Port Kells community hall. Traditional attire is not required. And set aside notions of dancing to purely old time music. “No. No. We’ve danced to Creedence Clearwater and Elvis Presley,” says Jensen. “It’s a cross-section of music and some Coun-

it, they’re laughing their heads off,” he says. It’s a stress-reliever, too. Jensen says no matter how he’s feeling before heading out to his club’s weekly dance, there’s always lots of smiling and lots of laughter. “We call it fun and fitness, it really is.” It’s also a considerable work-out; his wife once wore a pedometer to a dance. It was like taking a brisk, 5-km walk. Another bonus of introductory classes is

try. It’s modern square dancing.” Coincidentally, Sept. 18 to 24 is Square Dancing Awareness Week in B.C. Square dancing is a complete form of exercise. Unlike workouts at the gym, running or playing tennis, it’s unlikely to result in physical injury. Square dancing also combines physical, mental and social dimensions.

The introductory classes are 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursdays at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre for eight weeks starting Oct. 6. Participants can sign up at www.surrey.ca. The program is most suited to adults in the 35 to 45+ age group. For more information about the Surrey Square Wheelers, call 604-809-1703.

Traffic cameras go live Six new red light cameras have gone active in Surrey, including one at 64 Avenue and 176 Street. The ICBC traffic cameras detect and ticket red light runners. They’re put up in what’s considered B.C.’s highest-risk intersections. Crash data from 2002-2008 shows an average of 72 crashes per year at this intersection, and a total of 190 injuries. Surrey now has 27 cameras, including 64 Avenue at 152 Street, which saw an average of 82 crashes a year from 2002-2008, and 251 injuries. Violators are fined $167, minus $25 if they pay within 30 days. Fine revenue is sent back to local cities to support policing and safety programs. ICBC predicts there will be a six-per cent reduction in serious injury and fatal crashes at intersections as a result of the cameras. “We’ve seen too often the carnage of intersection crashes,” RCMP Lower Mainland Traffic Services Supt. Norm Gaumont said. Roughly 40 per cent of serious crashes happen at intersections. Red light cameras have been in action in B.C. since 1999, but the switch to a larger number of digital cameras is costing $20 million.

Come tour the Backstretch By Jennifer Lang The barn doors at Fraser Downs will be thrown wide open Saturday, when the harness racing community hosts its annual open house. Visitors are invited to watch the qualifying races in the morning of Sept. 24, then come around to the Backstretch for a peek inside a working race track. The event is a chance to meet some of the drivers – and their equine stars – plus up-and-comers like Kayla Mills, a young woman who’s trying to qualify as a driver. She won the “Powder Puff � women’s race earlier this year at the Harness the Hope fundraising event. There will also be harness demonstrations, along with raffles and a craft table for kids. The Backstretch – located at the 17740 62 Avenue horse barns at Fraser Downs, across from the Agriplex – will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The qualifying races start at 10 a.m. Watch from the grandstand at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino as this year’s hopefuls see if they are fast enough to

qualify. It’s a non-betting event, and there should be at least eight races on Saturday. “It’s a great for the public to see how a race is held,� Standardbred owner and trainer Sandra Roberts said. The open house is open to the whole family. Grab lunch from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m., and take a barn tour, where visitors will see where the horses are stabled, and learn about how they’re trained and cared for. Live racing at Fraser

Downs Racetrack and Casino resumes Oct. 7, kicking off the 2011 fall season with races Friday at 7 p.m., and at 1:45 p.m. Saturday and Sunday that weekend. Harness Racing B.C. is the association that represents owners, trainers, drivers and other members of the racing community. Cloverdale’s horsemen and their supporters have much to celebrate – the reinstatement of a 10-month racing season in 2012.

Earlier this year, they organized protests and mounted lobbying efforts in an effort to persuade Fraser Downs owners Great Canadian Camping Corporation and the B.C. Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch to extend the racing season. Lobbying efforts with cabinet minister Shirley Bond and other government officials in May helped turn the tide, Harness Racing B.C. CEO Doug McCallum said at the time.
