Rasode leaves Surrey First

By Kevin DiakiwSaying she is being discouraged

from thinking or acting indepen-dently, an outspoken Surrey council-lor is cutting ties with the Surrey First team.

Eff ective immediately, Coun. Barinder Rasode is leaving Surrey First, the “coalition of indepen-dents” led by Surrey May-or Dianne Watts, that, un-til now, held every seat on Surrey council.

And Rasode told Black Press if Watts chooses not to run again in Novem-ber, she will be aft er the mayor’s chair.

“I do believe if the may-or’s chair is vacant, I do believe I would make a very strong voice for the residents of Surrey, but a very competent voice as well,” Ra-sode said.

If it’s an open race for mayor, Ra-sode said she will be running for the centre chair.

“I believe I have made a very strong commitment to work togetherwith the residents of Surrey, and will continue to do that with their sup-port,” Rasode said.

She said the move to leave Surrey First hasnothing to do with any run for mayor.

She said her decisionis solely based on theneed to bring an inde-pendent voice to thecitizens of Surrey.

“I believe me raisingthat independent voicehas created isolationthat is preventing me from doing my job,” Ra-sode said. “Th at is my reason for leaving.”

She said she feels isolated from hercolleagues when she brings up issuesof public safety, city spending andcommunity engagement.

Rasode said the tipping points for her have been a call to re-evaluate

Bill Reid to be memorialized with park, road

The festival continues until April 29 (with the exception of the Easter weekend), with a fi nal awards show on May 10. No alterations to the content of this image were made on a computer.

By Kevin DiakiwBill Reid will be memorialized with an

outdoor venue, a Cloverdale road and a statue, according to a plan adopted by coun-cil on Monday.

Known as Mr. Surrey, Reid was close to the hearts of many, particularly in Clover-dale, which he trumpeted as one of the best places to live.

Th e city is planning to rename the Clover-dale Millennium Amphitheatre as Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre. Surrey is also looking at naming 62 Avenue, between 176 and 180 Streets, Bill Reid Way.

Plans are also in the works to have have artist Paul Slipper carve a statue of Reid for placement in Cloverdale.

Reid was arguably one of the biggest boosters of Surrey and of Cloverdale, where he was considered the unoffi cial mayor.

Reid was alderman with the municipality of Delta from 1973 to 1978, a Social Credit MLA from 1986 to 1991, and was minister of tourism from 1986 to 1989.

Following his political career, he served as vice-president of the South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Cloverdale Business Im-

provement Association, and executive di-rector of the Cloverdale Chamber of Com-merce.

He died of cancer on May 28, 2013. Hewas 78.

On Monday night, Surrey council en-dorsed a proposal to rename the Cloverdale Amphitheatre and a road aft er Reid.

Th e venue and road could be named by May, with an offi cial launch at the May 23 rodeo.

Th e sculpture is expected to take threemonths to create.

Pictures tell the story of Surrey in the 1950sBy Jennifer LangHis camera recorded

shining rodeo queens being ushered down Main Street, ceremo-nial throws at curling

tournaments, and the uncertain fi rst steps at kids’ dance recitals.

Photographer Neville Curtis was an eye on Surrey during a diff er-

ent era – the 1950s and early ‘60s, when the 33,000 inhabitants lived in what was still very much an agricultural community.

His photographic legacy – some 7,000 negatives donated in the 1970s – constitutes a rich visual record of what life was like more than half a century ago.

Th e Surrey Archives collection is gradually being digitized – staff started in 2011, but the job is only 30 per cent complete. Th ere are currently 1,300 Neville Curtis images in the archives’ online data-base available for public viewing, with more to come.

About 100 photo-graphs will be featured this Saturday at the second in the Sur-rey Archives’ spring program series, Neville Curtis’s Surrey, run-ning April 19, from 11 a.m. to noon.

“In his role as a lo-cal photographer, he appears to have been quite passionate about capturing community events and celebra-tions,” according to

archivist Ryan Galla-gher, who will be giving the presentation.

“Cloverdale was the geographic focal point of many of his photo-graphs, though he also took a fair number of images of Langley.”

Born in Manchester, England, in 1892, Cur-tis and his family came to Canada in around 1911, and moved to Surrey in 1925. His father operated Curtis Dry Goods, a grocery store on Cloverdale’s Main Street. Curtis worked at and later owned the store.

He also managed the

B&K Feed Store in Clo-verdale, between 1925 and 1953.

He became a freelance writer and photographer fairly late in life. He was in his 60s when he worked for a number of newspapers in the Lower Mainland, including the Vancou-ver Sun, the White Rock Sun, Surrey Leader and Langley Advance.

He passed away in 1969.

To Gallagher, the photographs provide a glimpse of the people, places and events of Surrey in the 1950s, allowing people to

observe the activities of Surreyites during a particular moment in time.

“His collection has a lot of shots of commer-cial buildings, homes, and portraits and a few landscapes,” he said.

“But what really stands out is that so many of the photo-graphs show people taking part in an activ-ity: at the rodeo, taking part in parades, awards ceremonies, recreation-al gatherings.”

Th e Surrey Archives spring program series continues with two more public presenta-

tions in May.Th e city’s his-

tory comes to life in vivid images from the archives’ collection in Surrey In Colour, on May 3, featuring hand-coloured photo-graphs and art pieces that document Surrey’s history.

And on May 10, local historian Derek Hayes speaks about the car-tography of the Fraser Valley in Historical Maps of B.C.

Th e sessions are $10. Pre-register by calling 604-502-6459.

Th e Surrey Archives is located at 17671 56 Avenue, in the heart of Cloverdale. It’s open Tuesday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.– For more, visit www.surrey.

BLACK PRESSTrevor Linden, former

NHL player and the new president of

Hockey Operations for the Vancouver Canucks, signs a jersey for Clover-

dale’s Jeeya Sharma, 2, and her mother Kavita, during the

opening of Orangeth-eory Fitness in South

Surrey on April 13. Linden is part-owner

of the business.

Newton was a tipping point

the strategy around the town centre of Newton and the notion that Surrey should hire more police.

She is also strongly opposed to replacing Community Safety Offi cers with Commis-sionaires, a decision that she says never went to council.

Her main reason for leaving Surrey First is that she no longer feels she can be indepen-dent without facing the wrath of her colleagues.

“I joined what I understood to be a co-alition of independent voices, but I no longer believe that indepen-dent voices are encour-aged or respected,” Rasode said.

She said her col-leagues were urging her to get in line with the Surrey First message.

“I’m doing this with a heavy heart,” Rasode said. “I have the utmost of respect for my col-leagues as individuals and the work that they are doing for the City of Surrey.

“It disheartens me I’m having to take the step I have taken.”

However, she said to properly do her job, sometimes that means challenging the way things are being done on council.

“To do that eff ective-ly is to sit as an inde-pendent on council,” Rasode said.

Rasode said she be-lieves Watts has done a “very good job” for the city of Surrey.

To the editor;I’m an Educational Assistant

at Surrey Centre Elementary and am working with a small group of children who require support in their learning.

As part of a modifi ed Social Studies plan on Canada’s govern-ment, I decided to place focus on our local municipal government and how we can make a diff er-ence and a change in our own community.

Aft er okaying these modifi ca-tions with our principal, James Pearce, I went ahead to work with my students.

Our focus was to seek help from the engineering depart-ment in Surrey regarding the ill-repair of the sidewalks that most of our students use to and from school each day.

On rainy days the sidewalks pool, causing the students to walk onto the soft shoulder where the cars frequently park. My concern was that the small children were not safe as they were stepping into harm’s way.

I had my students write letters which were intended for Dianne Watts, our mayor, and I had a lengthy letter as well to accom-pany their young pleas.

I took photos of the pooled sidewalks and was going to in-clude a map of our local area. With the package all ready to be mailed, I decided to send off an

email to the city to fi nd out where I could best direct my concerns.

Th e email landed on the screen of Bob from the city’s engineer-ing department. I fi gured that the response would take a bit, but to my surprise Bob showed up on site, 26 hours later, to take a look fi rst hand at the sidewalks.

I was so impressed with the

proactive, positive, and ensuringapproach that this professionalengineer had taken with ourschool.

He assessed the situation andhas given me confi rmation thathe would do what was necessary to keep our students safe.

I still intend on sending DianneWatts the information, but can also add how impressed I am with our local government, espe-cially this one government em-ployee, Bob, who went above andbeyond in his job to ensure thesafety of Surrey Centre students.

When I shared the news withmy students, they were so excited that we had taken part in making our local community a little safer for us all.

BC Stats this month shows our province’s high-tech sector continues to gather strength. That’s great news for BC’s economy and shows the BC Jobs Plan is working.

The report noted that 253 high-tech businesses emerged in B.C. last year.

Not only does the high-tech sector include well-known success stories such as Hootsuite, Medeo, Mobify and

Plenty of Fish, but there are many more companies contributing to the provincial economy.

Burnaby fi rm D-Wave has been recognized by Google as a world leader in quantum computing. It’s an exceptionally challenging and complex fi eld and the fact it’s located in BC is something all British Columbians can be proud about. Other notable high tech companies are Seamor Marine in Nanaimo which recently teamed up with NASA to build underwater robots and Trulioo of Vancouver which offers social media, mobile and web identifi cation services.

In Surrey, we have a small but growing sector that includes companies such as Powertech Labs, Safe Software and FINCAD.

Our province and our region specifi cally is earning a growing reputation as a place for innovation.

The recent TED conference in Vancouver is one example of this fact.There is a lot of work to do to make sure our economy continues to grow and

our province continues to be an attractive place for companies to do business.One way our government is ensuring this is by supporting the BC Innovation

Council (BCIC) to assist technology entrepreneurs and innovators in the early stages of developing their business. The council’s Venture Acceleration Program provides guidance, coaching and training.

Since 2011, nearly 300 entrepreneurs have been trained, 523 jobs created, and $9.9 million in revenue generated by this program.

Medical expenses are among the most commonly missed deductions on tax returns. Often, taxpayers neglect to keep receipts throughout the year, or can’t fi nd them at tax time. More signifi cantly, there’s a lot of confusion over what items are considered a medical expense for tax purposes and what are not. Some of the expenses are obvious. Prescriptions or dentist fees are straightforward. But people often miss healthcare premiums paid to their group plan at work, travel medical insurance and hearing-aid batteries. But there are areas where the question of whether a medical expense qualifi es for deduction is less clear. For example, treatments by certain types of healthcare practitioners may be recognized in some provinces but not in others. For that reason, treatment by a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine is an eligible medical expense if performed in British Columbia, but not in any other provinces. Medical alert devices, such as Lifeline, allow people to call for help if they are having diffi culties or become immobile. Once the service has been activated, emergency responders are called to the home. Although the systems are very useful, the fees associated with them are not a tax deduction. Meals on Wheels provides meals to elderly and infi rm people who live alone and who cannot cook their own food. As a non-profi t organization, Meals on Wheels charges based on a person’s net income. Unfortunately, this is not considered attendant care for anyone claiming the disability

tax credit, since a specifi c service is provided. And it cannot be claimed as a medical expense either. Medicare premiums deducted from U.S. taxpayer’s wages are considered a tax and should be claimed as a foreign tax credit. Medicare premiums paid by people who receive U.S. Social Security are voluntary and do not qualify as a foreign tax credit. However, they can be claimed as a medical expense. The U.S. Medicare Plan is considered to be a private health services plan, so the premiums are eligible, even though provincial healthcare premiums are excluded. Whether hospital parking is eligible for deduction depends on the distance traveled. Those who have to travel 80 kilometres or more one way to seek medical treatment not available closer to home can claim parking as a medical expense. Those traveling 40 kilometres or more one way for treatment can claim mileage as a medical expense, but not parking. Cosmetic procedures are not eligible medical expenses as of March 4, 2010. Tummy tucks, liposuction and other cosmetic treatments can no longer be claimed, unless they are deemed medically necessary. Reconstructive surgery after an accident or illness may still be claimed..

SHOULD YOU GIVE YOURCHILD A BOOST TO

HOME OWNERSHIP?

by: Shirlee NadeauH&R Block, Cloverdale | www.hrblock.ca | 604-574-3443

Many young people struggle to purchase their fi rst home and often parents and grandparents are very sympathetic. They’ve enjoyed the fi nancial benefi ts of long-term home ownership themselves, and see how hard it is today to make that important fi rst step into the real estate market. So should you give them a boost?

First, consider your own fi nancial situation. Your fi rst responsibility is to your own fi nancial security, so you need to consider what kind of help you can aff ord.

Take some time to think about family dynamics. Are there siblings or other family members to consider? Will there be an issue of fairness that you need to manage?

Home ownership is a big fi nancial responsibility. Consider whether they’re

ready for this responsibility. Sometimes the best advice is to keep renting.

If your child is married or living with a partner, consider property law. Experts advise parents to structure a loan instead of gifting money. If there is a break up, the loan would be subtracted from the family property before being divided.

Always put it in writing. If it’s a loan, have a written record of your shared expectations. If it’s a gift, you must put it in writing for the lender that the child is not required to pay the money back.

Talk to us! Start them on a good fi nancial habit and send them to us for access to the most mortgage options and clear-eyed, common sense advice.

MONEY MATTERS


What’s hopping this weekend

By Jennifer LangWith rabbit agil-

ity demonstrations, a dancing dog, a menag-erie of rescue critters, and an Easter egg scav-enger hunt, the Surrey Museum’s Easter Fair is sure to be a highlight for the animal-lover in your family.

Billed as a chance to meet the “real” Easter bunny (chocolate bun-nies only, for Easter, please) and friends, the Saturday, April 19 event will once again see local rescue animal groups team up with the museum.

Th e whole family can learn more about local wildlife and rescue

animals – and fi nd out about responsible ani-mal care and adoption.

As tempting as bring-ing home a bunny as an Easter surprise sounds, they require just as much care as other pets, meaning they’re not necessarily a good fi t for every family – and certainly not an impulse buy.

Th e event began in 2007 as a way of educating the public on responsible animal care and adoption, and grew until it encompassed not just rabbits but many other animals.

Th is year, animal rescue groups include AireCanada Airedale

Rescue, T & T Shar-pei Rescue, B.C. Exotic Bird Society, the Surrey BC SPCA Education Centre, Small Animal Rescue Society, the Ca-nadian Disaster Animal Response team and more, including the B.C. Siberian Husky Club and Urban Safari Rescue Society.

Sip and support bunniesSunday, there’s an Easter outing the whole family can

enjoy at Township 7 Vineyards and Winery in SouthLangley, hosting Save the Bunnies, a charity egg hunt.

Proceeds from the April 20 event will benefi t the Small Animal Rescue Society, which will be on site with real rabbits. Th e popular “sip and support” event drawsmore than 800 families each year to enjoy an aft ernoon of Easter goodies, live music, and, well, fl uff y bunnies.

Families are invited to come for the day, enjoy livemusic and more. “We encourage people to bring a pic-nic basket and enjoy the aft ernoon, while supporting a good cause,” said Mike Raff an, general manager of Township 7 Vineyards and Winery.

Th e egg hunt is $3. Pre-registration and RSVP rec-ommended. Festivities run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at21152 16 Avenue, Langley.

Th is year, Township 7 has extended the sip and sup-port campaign to B.C. Liquor Stores, where, during the month of April, $1 from every bottle sold of the winery’s Merlot and Chardonnay will be donated to the Small Animal Rescue Society. Th e charity has placed more than 1,800 animals in new homes since 2004.

Th e society encourages people to choose a choco-late bunny over the real thing at Easter, said president Lisa Hutcheon, who described the event as a perfectvenue for the volunteers to get their message out.

Th e society works to provide a safe haven for smallanimals while promoting responsible pet guardian-ship through education, advocacy and spay/neuterinitiatives.
