Anxious and ready to go: Surrey Schools School opening hinges on ratification vote, ‘Pro-D’ day By Jennifer Lang Surrey’s 70,000 public school students could be heading back to class as soon as Monday morning, following the announcement Tuesday of an agreement to end the lengthy B.C. teachers strike. Apparently it’s a six-year deal, giving five years of labour peace with teachers going forward. “As a district, we’re anxious and ready to go,” Surrey School District communications manager Doug Strachan said a few hours after a tentative deal was struck, paving the way for today’s expected ratification vote by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. “We’re excited and happy to hear the news.” Details of the tentative deal are being withheld until the BCTF and the province’s negotiators have a final document to present. “We have to wait as everybody does to see the processes unfold,” Strachan said. “We look forward to having everybody back.” Monday (Sept. 22), is a non-instructional day in Surrey, according to the district calendar, throwing up another question mark. “We will look at the potential to move that date, if it’s called for, in conjunction with our teachers’ local, but of course we are waiting to see if there is anything addressed in the agreement regarding opening day,” Strachan said. He advised parents and students to monitor the news media, and to check with the Surrey School District’s website (SurreySchools.ca), where bulletins have been posted throughout the strike. “A resolution at the bargaining table is by far the best outcome for

public education in British Columbia and this is great news,” Surrey Schools Superintendent Jordan Tinney said Tuesday in a letter to parents, congratulating bargaining teams on both sides and mediator Vince Ready. “We now turn our minds to the details of opening our sites and welcoming our teachers, support staff and children back to school,” Tinney said. With a ratification vote of 40,000 union members expected to be held Thursday, the province’s 60 school districts are attempting to return to regular classes next week after five weeks of full-scale strike action that began last June. Premier Christy Clark said if the vote passes, schools will be up and running again as early as Monday. She thanked parents for their patience as the strike dragged into the fall. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said a plan will be developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas and spring break. “This is wonderful news for the students, teachers, administrators, support staff, trustees and parents in B.C.,” said B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff. “The immediate goal is to get students back in classes as quickly as possible.” The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association was seeking a six-year agreement with wage increases of just over one per cent per year, in line with other settlements in the provincial public service. A fund to address class size and composition has been a key issue in the dispute.

Three Surreyites to be inducted as 2014 Vancouver Motorsports Pioneers By Jennifer Lang Three Surreyites are being inducted into the Greater Vancouver Motorsports Pioneers Society Saturday in Cloverdale. Carl Blomfeldt, Dwain Kremyr and Art Brumpton are among 17 new inductees to be honoured at the 14th annual induction ceremony, taking place at Shannon Hall Sept. 20. Blomfield is being recognized for his long career in motorcycle racing. He helped introduce speedway motorcycle racing to Vancouver fans in the 1980s, and went on to race in the U.S., U.K, Europe, and the Grand Prix. An engine builder and tuner, he’s worked with riders who became world champions. This year, he’s been in Poland helping another young rider achieve international recognition. Pioneer drag racer Kremyr got his first car at 12, a 1950 Meteor he used to learn to drive, and by the time he was 15, he and his brother were building a 1949 Thames into a drag racing car. After buying a famous 1957 Thunderbird called Blackbird in 1971, Kremyr continued campaigning it at Mission

Raceways. He went on to build cars for customers, something he still does at Kremyr Racing in Cloverdale. Brumpton, another Cloverdale resident, is being inducted as a Motorsports Pioneer for his contributions as a hotrod and custom car enthusiast. A past president of the B.C. Hot Rod Association, he raced Corvettes in the Pacific Northwest for many years. Track racing, hot rods and custom cars remain a passion for Brumpton. Cars in his garage include a modified 1929 Ford roadster pickup, a 1966 Chevrolet Impala station wagon, a 1957

Chevrolet BelAir and a 1939 Ford sedan. The Greater Vancouver Motorsports Pioneer Society has inducted 215 pioneers. “The Motorsport Pioneers Society continues to recognize individuals who have made major contributions in past years as a way to celebrate this history,” GVMPS president Jim Greenwood said. Areas of expertise include hot rodding, custom car building, drag racing, land speed racing, sports car and road racing, motorcycling, power boat racing, car collecting and restoration.

Exceptionally caring dentistry for the whole family.

In the eye of the beholder When someone pushes your buttons, it helps to change your own perspective

ometimes we come up against negativity that we aren’t able to easily get away from. Some people just drive us crazy or push our buttons. Some circumstances, like paying bills, feel awful no matter what we do. Most people choose to grumble and complain about these things. I’ve certainly been prone to do so from time to time. So what is the solution? Perspective. It is something we have a lot of control over if we so choose. Surprised? Let me give you an example. I used to have a manager that really rubbed me the wrong way. I couldn’t understand why he was in his position. His management style was abrupt and learning from

him was difficult at best. Shifts with him were stressful and frustrating. I knew he was there to stay so I decided to see if I could figure out why he was hired. I didn’t ask my other managers, I asked myself. I started to look at him with eyes of wonder instead of judgement. I would watch his behaviour and mannerisms for clues. I really wanted to appreciate his strengths. I wanted to enjoy all of my shifts at my job, so I knew I had to learn how to enjoy working alongside this guy. Within a couple of weeks I found myself asking his opinion on work-related tasks. I even started laughing at his funny comments. The simple act of my

Not so merry-go-round To the editor; So the B.C. government is appealing the two times court ruling deciding in favour of the teachers being able to determine what class sizes and mix should be. The government’s argument being that it has the right to

do what it wants without negotiation regardless of any existing contract! Basically their argument is: Yes, we put it in the contract but we didn’t mean it! In other words they lied. How can you negotiate in good faith with politicians like that? How does the BCTF think they can have meaningful, bind-

ing arbitration with politicians that lie? I would feel better if the BCTF had much more input into deciding how tax dollars are spent on education than just a merry-goround of deceitful politicians. Gary Huntbatch Abbotsford

McCallum unveils slate

Serving your smile for over 30 25 years!

Safe Surrey Coalition to focus on crime; residents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fearfulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, former mayor says

The B.C. Seniors Games Society is changing the name of its annual games to something more in keeping with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirit and vitalityâ&#x20AC;? of older British Columbians. In 2015, North Vancouver will host the 55+ BC Games, Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman announced at the closing ceremony of the Langley 2014 B.C. Seniors games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we have seen over the last few days, the spirit and vitality of older British Columbians is nothing short of inspiring,â&#x20AC;? Coleman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new branding aptly reflects B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture of active, engaged citizens of all ages and backgrounds.â&#x20AC;? Nearly 3,900 participants and another 1,300 volunteers took part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games, Sept. 9 to 13. Founded in 1987, the BC Seniors Games has evolved into a successful, multi-sport event, drawing competitors from across B.C. The fact that a majority of B.C. residents will be aged 55 and older within the next five years helped convince organizers it was time to rebrand, said June Parsons, BC Seniors Games Society past president. The society will continue to operate as usual, with no changes planned to the society, the zone structure or the games themselves. But there will be a new logo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a stylized torch. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cloverdale Reporter

The savings will include putting an end to the yearly Surrey Regional Economic Summit, McCallum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are fearful in neighbourhoods across

Surrey and are looking for leadership, detailed proposals, and most importantly, a plan for action on the issue of public safety,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Safe Surrey Coalition represents a group of candidates with diverse community involvement, political affiliations and professional backgrounds that are united by one overpowering concern: Public safety.â&#x20AC;?

Family-friendly trade fair targets parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and kids

ARIANE JASHKE/ CAPTURE VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY

The Belly, Baby and Kid Show: use your imagination.

By Jennifer Lang If you have kids, are a kid, or are a first-time parent expecting a new bundle of joy, get ready for the Belly, Baby and Kid Show, coming to Cloverdale later this month. The one-day event is a cross between a family fair and trade show, with a generous dose of imagination thrown in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as you walk in the door you will see acrobats hanging from the ceiling,â&#x20AC;? says show producer Amanda Collett, a mother of two who describes the show as a fun, family day out that aims to be informative. Along with acrobats, there will be a shipwreck, dancing fairies, and an enchanted forest with trees made by the same folks who were set designers on the X-Men movie. The Sept. 27 event features products and services aimed at expecting parents right through to those with toddlers, tots and elementary school-aged kids. There are hands-on demonstrations, from pre-natal fitness classes to a belly rub for soon-to-be moms, along with demonstration gym and circus classes for tots. Along with more than 60 vendors, including Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pathways Chiropractic and My Gym, which will be putting on free fitness classes for kids. There will be plenty to see and do, from an infant CPR workshop and seminars on sleeping, nutrition, and more, to tips from a

daddy blogger, an interactive family fun zone with balloon animals, face painting, bouncy castle and a tumble area. There will also be a kid fashion show, live entertainment, dancers, and prize giveaways. The concept was launched in the Tri-Cities area in 2011, and was re-booted last March in Maple Ridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our first time in Surrey, but I just feel like Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing so much,â&#x20AC;? Collett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cloverdale Fairgrounds is just amazing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really easy access location. There are lots of families around. There are people who can walk to the show.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also plenty of parking and the venue is big enough that she hopes to avoid the line-ups that ensued last time around. The aim is to put on two Belly, Baby and Kid shows a year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one in the spring on the north side of the Fraser, and one in the fall in Cloverdale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really trying to focus on the Tri-Cities area and the Valley,â&#x20AC;? Collett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families are all moving out to suburbia, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more affordable. Surrey is growing drastically,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize that.â&#x20AC;? The show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. Admission is $5 (kids 12 and under are free), with partial proceeds to Basics for Babies. The first 100 people to arrive at 10 a.m. and at 1 p.m. will receive a door prize filled with swag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; product samples, coupons and gift certificates.

Our objective: Working together to keep our community safe Contributed Nestled amongst the quaint shops of downtown Cloverdale you will find the Surrey RCMP District 4 office and members of a dedicated team committed to the community in which they serve. The Surrey RCMP Cloverdale/ Port Kells office is led by District Commander Sgt. Dan Gibbons, who takes great pride in a community-based approach to policing. Sgt. Gibbons values the role of community partners creating a balance between enforcement and prevention. The office consists of a Neighbourhood Liaison Unit, Crime Prevention Coordinator, Office Coordinator, Restorative Justice, Youth Intervention and General Duty section. Members of the Neighbourhood Liaison Unit (NLU) include Cpl. Carissa Leeson, Cst. Evelyne Talbot and Community Safety Officers Dennis Bell and Rocky Prakash. The NLU combines traditional aspects of law enforcement with problem solving, community initiatives and partnerships to deal with ongoing neighbourhood issues, traffic and safety concerns, and nuisance properties to name a few. The primary objective of Crime Prevention Coordinator Jody Nelson is to reduce crime

and foster good community relations. Continued success comes with the understanding that police and citizens are jointly responsible for reducing crime and improving the quality of life in local neighbourhoods.

Build your Business

By Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux

The City of Surrey and their wholly owned development corporation, the SCDC, have cleaned up the dangerous and unsightly Cloverdale West Village site. It’s still an eyesore from Highway 15, which was promised (and not fulfilled) to be improved by June, but at least the hazard of the rebar sticking out the broken concrete etc... has been removed. Cloverdale needs a voice that is heard, as it took the front page of The Province newspaper and Global TV to force the City to clean up that dangerous situation. We are being told that they are going to again build a plan for the fairgrounds (we heard the same thing in 2002, 2005, and 2011). That reminds me of an old saying: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” The people of Cloverdale are not insane and we are not going to allow for more stories and broken promises on the key pieces of property that are holding Cloverdale back. The City’s 10-year capital plan does not include anything on the fairgrounds. The City is saying that they are going to build a plan, but We are a group of local people in the process of building a new are not allocating any resources to develop the site... that tells me that Optimist Club in Cloverdale. Are you an Optimist? An Optimist unless we stand united we will not see anything of substance from the is one who, in spite of everything, looks on the sunny side of City of Surrey on this 160-acre prime site. life. Although we may come from all walks of life, Optimist Bill Reid advocated tirelessly for Cloverdale and we have seen the members share one common trait – we know that we can make least progress of any City centre. Just imagine how little we would have a difference in the lives of others with our positive approach, received if not for Bill. Let your voice be heard and let the City know that our upbeat outlook and our commitment to creating a more we need the fairground and the Cloverdale West Village to be developed, optimistic future for our youth. and not left to fall into disrepair as has been the case for many years.

OF COMMERCE

With BC’s diverse range of industries and careers it’s not surprising when our province blossoms in a sector such as digital media. In fact, Metro Vancouver is home to the head offices of a number of international companies — including Sony Imageworks, MPC and Industrial Light + Magic. There are also Canadian companies such as Nerdcorps, Atomic Cartoon and Image Engine that have grown significantly from their base in our region. All of these companies are here because of the talent of British Columbians. Our studios are known for their skill with post-production work, animation and special effects. Our workers have a reputation for being highly experienced, committed and able to deliver high-quality products on time and on budget. If you saw the 2012 blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man, you saw some of the great work being done in this region. Sony Pictures Imageworks in Vancouver was responsible for the digital animation that made the friendly neighborhood superhero look so amazing. The studio cited images from the comic book to make the film hero have the same poses and moves that

fans have come to expect. The company also brought the film’s villain to life by creating a digital version that adapted the actual biological characteristics of a lizard. Last year, another company, Image Engine in Vancouver, created visual effects for the film Zero Dark Thirty. And this year, Industrial Light + Magic is setting up to work on the next Star Wars movie. Exciting stuff but there’s more to digital media than movies. British Columbia is also home to some of the longest established video game clusters in North America. There are 1,300 companies in B.C. employing 22,000 people. In 2012, the video game industry in B.C. was responsible for $568 million in gross expenditures, and 40 per cent of companies expected growth of more than 25

By Jeff Nagel ICBC has mailed out 309,000 refund cheques ranging from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it overcharged since 2008. Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed. The average customer who overpaid all six years will get a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. The average overpayment was $18 per year. The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million. Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches. ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue. The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance, not basic rates. The refunds were calculated as part of two independent external reviews that checked millions of insurance transactions over the past six years. Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the issue concluded ICBC knew the problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013. Various fixes were contemplated but discarded, according to the auditors’ report. ICBC managers feared a solution might harm its relationship with brokers and that disclosure of inaccurate pricing would hurt ICBC’s business position against optional insurance competitors. The corporation ultimately opted to fix the errors and issue refunds as part of its sweeping $400-million technology upgrade program. The long-running overcharges were finally made public in April by Transportation Minister Todd Stone – only after he was directly questioned by the media. ICBC’s board had intended to wait until it had a refund strategy ready to roll out.

MONEY by: Layla Romero, G&F Financial Group | www.GFFG.com | 604-419-8888

Easy savings tools at any stage of your life Setting money aside for savings doesn’t have to an effortful and time-consuming task thanks to investment options that can simplify your efforts. Term Deposits Term deposits are useful for increasing the value of your savings because they’re put into an account for a limited amount of time while they earn a higher than usual interest rate. They’re an efficient way to maximize the value of your money – once placed in a Term Deposit, it simply earns interest. Look for seasonal specials and rates, such as G&F Financial Group’s Fall Investment Promotion. RESPs Post-secondary education fees are constantly increasing, and the potential debt can be a heavy burden on recent grads. This can delay important future milestones such as home and car ownership, and even starting a family. A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a government endorsed plan and is essentially a savings plan for full or part time post-secondary education. RESPs encourage individuals and families to plan and save for their educational costs, and because of government

grants, typically earn a much higher return than traditional savings plans. RRSPs A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a type of Canadian account for holding savings and investment assets. 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 withdraw from an RRSP in low income years. Expert Advice When making financial and investment decisions, be sure to consult with a professional – they have the know-how and skills to assess your investment needs and build a unique plan for your future. G&F Financial Group experts can work with you to create your bright future. Contact them today at 604-419-8888 or www.GFFG.com.

Is there an end in sight for the market SWEET SPOT?

Sweet Spot [def ]: a combination of factors resulting in a maximum response for a given amount of effort. At a Labour Day BBQ, everyone was busy talking about the school strike, the lovely extended summer and how well their investment portfolios were performing. Most of us have been pleasantly surprised that returns keep climbing. A number of people at the BBQ said that the U.S. economy is lousy and didn’t understand why the stock market was doing so well. In actual fact, since March 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up approximately 202%. The U.S. economy is expected to grow 3-5%; car sales, employment numbers and the housing market have shown signs of improvement; and the leading indicator of the economy, the stock market, has been peaking for months. Interest rates appear to be constant for the moment and the U.S.
