Pacifi c saves chili cookoff By Jennifer LangIt’s the tastiest contest in Clover-

dale, putting amateurs and pros to the test in a no-holds-barred chili cook-off between local businesses during Rodeo Week.

Winners are determined by ballot – members of the public sample and rate the chili, recording their marks on a ballot.

Th e annual Chili Cook-off is presented by Clover Square Village in partnership with the Cloverdale BIA and the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce.

Judges – aka customers and patrons – pick up a Chili Passport, and then taste their way through the tasting area. Th ey rate each chili and drop their passports into a voting box, with the winners announced that same day, aft er the

ballots are counted.Th is year’s cook-off at Clover

Square Village runs Friday, May 20 from 4:30 p.m. until the chili runs out.

Th ere was an added wrinkle this year, which nearly worked to sink the event. In the past, contestants

prepared their chili off -site.

Amateur chili cooks wanting to enter the 19th annual event will have to cook their chili at an approved, Fraser

Health-inspected kitchen, potential-ly driving entrants away.

“It’s defi nitely aff ected us,” Clo-verdale BIA executive director Paul Orazietti said. “We have had a slight drop in participation.”

New restroom ‘a big step forward’By Jennifer LangSurrey’s oldest high school has broken new

ground, celebrating its fi rst-ever Pride Week, and opening a gender-neutral restroom.

Rainbow streamers fi lled the Hub last week and students decorated colourful, tie dye T-shirts. Students and staff planned to wear them May 5 to show their LGBT support at last Th ursday’s offi cial opening of the new, all-gen-der restroom, located on the second fl oor.

“When there are [U.S.] states taking a step back, it’s nice to know Tweedsmuir is taking a step forward,” said Liam Ponzini, a representa-tive from the school’s Gay Straight Alliance. He was to cut the ribbon alongside school princi-pal Allan Buggie during an opening ceremony

that was followed by a short, symbolic parade from the new washroom to the school’s Hub.

Th e single-occupant washroom makes its

debut aft er three years of lobbying by students. Th e new washroom is designed to give all stu-dents, regardless of gender identity or expres-sion, a safe place to go where they are free from harassment or discrimination.

Ponzini said its symbolic value is important. “Having this bathroom in this school is more ofa symbol that you can be who you are and you don’t have to be judged or harassed.”

Grade 11 student Mackenzie Jasper, a Tweedsmuir GSA rep, said she hopes it will help put an end to discrimination before it be-gins because students will know that it exists.

She credited the work of the GSA and teach-ers for supporting the project.

“I believe this really proved to us that we maybe young, but that our voices matter,” she said.

Th ere are already about a half-doz-en secondary schools in Surrey that accommodate students who request a private washroom, district spokes-man Doug Strachan said. Th ey aren’t necessarily designated with a ‘gender

neutral’ sign on the door.Lord Tweedsmuir’s has a sign de-

noting its all-gender status. It reads, ‘Anyone can use this restroom regard-less of gender identity or expression.’ It’s also wheelchair accessible.

“We’re really happy that students have lobbied,” said teacher PennyTurpin, explaining that they have been looking to school administra-tion to fi nd a way to make the gen-der-neutral washroom a reality.

She said principal Buggie looked to other models at other schools to see how it could be implemented.

Market Days return with a bang May 28

With local mu-sic and artists, a car show, sidewalk sales, more than 60 vendors including food trucks and more, Cloverdale Market Days is set to return with a bang later this month.

Organized by the newly-formed Clover-dale Arts and Enter-tainment Association, the monthly Saturday summer markets have grown from humble beginnings in 2014 into a fully-fl edged attraction that will close down two blocks of 176 Street between 56A Avenue and 58 Avenue in the historic town centre on May 28.

Running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. it’s the fi rst of fi ve monthly markets planned for the last Saturday of the month to September.

Th e association formed to make downtown Cloverdale more of a destination by promoting arts and

entertainment, along with small businesses.

Th e association has been selling T-shirts with 100 per cent of profi ts going back into marketing and enter-tainment.

Th e association invites the public to come out to support local businesses and vendors, experience an open-air market and discover what Clover-dale has to off er, from restaurants and shops,

to local artists and artisans, performers and more.

Along with an array of vendors selling everything from hand-made jewelry to farm fresh produce, May’s Market Days high-lights will include a car show featuring more than 50 cars presented by the BC Modern Mopar Club, mini-golf, and an appearance by South Surrey’s Rich-ard Tichelman, a teen

singer-songwriter who won the Abbotsford Idol last year and placed second at Clo-verdale’s Teen Fest.

Th e association has partnered with the Surrey Arts Council to provide local artists a venue to showcase their work. Oasis Park - the breezeway at 56A Avenue and 176 Street – will host art displays.

Also new this year are interactive displays by the Cloverdale Rec-reation Centre, Surrey Crime Prevention, ICBC, the Fraser Val-ley Heritage Railway, Cloverdale Legion and others.

Family activities include balloon art by clowns, face painting and craft s, and a boun-cy castle.

Heritage railway powers upSurrey’s heritage rail operations are back for

a new season of weekend passenger runs out ofCloverdale Station.

Th e volunteer-run heritage attraction opened May 7.

Th e Fraser Valley Heritage Rail Society invites the public to ride the restored Interurban car 1225 to Sullivan Station and back, take a ride on the speeder car, learn more about the history ofthe BC Electric Railway, and much more.

Other attractions include car barn tours, the tram simulator, a velocepede, and the newest ar-rival, car 1207, a 110-year-old car that made the move to Cloverdale earlier this year from Van-couver.

Th e society is celebrating its 15th anniversa-ry in 2016. Restoration eff orts continue on Car 1304 – the so-called Connaught Car that made a fi nal run from Chilliwack to Yarrow in 1955.

Cloverdale Station is located at 176A Street and Highway 10, adjacent to Clover Square Vil-lage shopping plaza. Hours of operation are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Check the website fvhrs.org for the schedule.


Boxes needed for fi re reliefCloverdale’s Leslie McKellar and other Agassiz

Speedway volunteers are putting the call out for empty boxes and crates to help Fort McMurray relief eff orts.

Th rough a Facebook group, Supporting the Fort McMurray Evacuees, they’re organizing a transport. On Sunday, a small convoy hauling race car trailers fi lled with donations collected in the Fraser Valley will leave Abbotsford for Al-berta. Donations will be taken to the Edmonton area, where they can reach front-line agencies helping the evacuees.

Spare boxes are needed for sorting and pack-ing donated items in advance to save time.

“We just want to sort the stuff , have stuff that can be easily loaded onto them, and take them where they are really in need of it,” she said Monday. McKellar is off ering to pick up donated boxes. To help, call 604-5-575-8355, or 604-671-7945. Donations are also being accepted at TD Bank locations in Langley, she said.


‘Remarkable’ horseman will be remembered at special ceremony

By Jennifer LangOne of the biggest names

in B.C. harness racing will be commemorated in a ceremony in early October, when the new racing season begins, Ele-ments Casino has announced.

Bill ‘Th e Dominator’ Davis, who has passed away at the age of 54, is being remem-bered as an outstanding driver and trainer.

“We want to take the opportunity to honour and show our respect for a man who has done so much for harness racing in British Columbia during his lifetime,” said Chuck Keeling, Great Canadian Gaming Corp. vice president. “He was a remark-able trainer and driver known for being one of the hardest workers in the game.”

Th e Langley resident earned the nickname, ‘Th e Domina- tor’, for his driving and racing

records. He was a two-time O’Brien Award winner who had 5,477 wins during his driving career, and netted more than $22 million in purses.

As a trainer, he won 3,466 races, representing earnings of more than $16 million.

“We were all shocked to hear the news of his passing,” Elements Casino general man-ager Michael Kim said. Th e details of the commemorative ceremony will be announced closer to the opening date of the upcoming live racing sea-son commencing Oct. 6.

Harness racing – aff ection-ately described as the Sport of the People – is a close-knit community, and generations of families take part.

“It is a very sad time for all right now,” said Carla Robin, executive director of Harness Racing B.C. She noted Ron

Julien, an owner, breeder and longtime supporter of the har-ness racing industry, has also recently passed away following a long term illness.

Davis was a formidable presence on and off the race-course, both as a driver and a trainer.

In 2014, he rebuilt his stable aft er losing horses in a devas-tating barn fi re, according to Trot Insider.

He mentored up and com-ing drivers, including his own son, Billy Davis Jr., who is enjoying a successful career in Ontario, and Casie Coleman, who also races in Ontario.

Th at’s where Davis Sr. start-ed his career before coming west. He went on to become one of the most successful harness horsemen at the Clo-verdale Raceway, later named Fraser Downs, and now part of Elements Casino.

Th ere has been plenty of reaction to Surrey Board of Education’s call for a temporary halt to new development in three areas of Surrey where schools cannot keep up with the growth – Grandview, Clayton and South Newton.

Parents, particularly those in aff ected ar-eas, have been applauding the board’s plea to Surrey council to consider the development freeze. Many other citizens recognize the pres-sure on schools and students, but aren’t quite sure if a development freeze is needed.

Mayor Linda Hepner isn’t thrilled about the call for the development freeze. While sympa-thetic to the challenges the board is facing, she doesn’t see a freeze, even a temporary one, as helping the school district get more schools.

She has a point. For many long years, the provincial government has not approved funding for new schools or addition to schools

until the schools “have seen the whites of their (students’) eyes,” as some trustees put it. If for some reason, de-velopment slows down

and students don’t show up in the anticipated numbers, the government will be under no pressure to approve any funds. It isn’t about the change the way it allocates school capital funding.

Th e government can be criticized for its approach to capital fi nding. But it has a lot of good reasons for being so careful. In the past, when land was much cheaper and school dis-

tricts had more ability to direct the construc-tion of new schools, plenty of schools were built in communities like Vancouver, Burna-by, Coquitlam and other parts of the province when there was a surge in students.

Now, 40 or 50 years later, many of these schools are half full and others have been closed. Th e costs of educating students has risen sharply, largely due to teacher salary in-creases, but also due to other factors like new technology, curriculum changes, facility up-grades and a host of other higher costs.

Th e situation in many rural parts of the province is even worse. I know of one very ru-ral school in the Cariboo where the population has dropped by about 90 per cent. It remains open mainly because of the signifi cant dis-tance away from any other schools.

Th e high school in Osoyoos is closing for the same reason. Th ere are two schools in the South Okanagan town – an older elementary school and the high school, a newer building. Both have far fewer students than they used to. Th e board decided that it made more sense to bus high school students to Oliver – about a 20-minute drive – rather than keep both schools open.

Th e combination of empty or half-empty schools, and rising education costs, has caused successive governments to be very sparing in building new schools.

Surrey, as one of the very few districts that is growing signifi cantly, gets hit hard because the government is very wary about building new

schools. It fears, based on plenty of evidence from what’s happened in the past, that the school-aged population in some of the areas where schools are now bursting at the seams will be much smaller in 20 or 30 years.

Premier Christy Clark, when asked about the school building challenges on a recent visit to Surrey, made it clear that she recog-nizes the challenges faced by the school dis-trict. However, she was reluctant to consider a diff erent approach to school capital projects in Surrey.

Th is is likely because one of the key achieve-ments of the BC Liberals is B.C.’s top-notch credit rating and balanced budget. When com-pared to most other provinces, it is indeed far ahead of the pack. Clark knows that many vot-ers want that sterling track record to continue.

Th ere needs to be some way to bridge the gap between the serious and legitimate quest to keep B.C.’s fi nances in the best shape pos-sible, and the large challenges faced by the Surrey school system due to lack of facilities. With an election a year away, this gap will only become more of a political issue than it is right now.

Th e board of education has off ered one pos-sible solution. Th e mayor has a diff erent re-sponse. It is up to the provincial government to come up with a solution that keeps its books balanced, while meeting the needs of Surrey students in a timely fashion.– Frank Bucholtz is former editor of the Surrey Leader and the Langley Times, sister papers to the Reporter

Now they’re listeningI appreciate the motion

Trustee McNally put forward and was supported by all trustees (“Th e kids are suff ering,” April 24), however stopping develop-ment isn’t what has caused the dilemma of overcrowding in our district.

Development permits take almost three years to go through the process of being approved, almost a year less than it takes once approval is given to build a school and actually have it ready to open.

As a district we are given stats of upcoming applications so it is no news to the board or govern-ment of impending growth in any area.

Prior to the government de-ciding that new schools cannot be built until all schools in an

area are at 110 per cent capacity, the protocol was to build as developments were approved so schools were ready when chil-dren moved into the area.

It is the protocol that needs to be fi xed.

Superintendent Tinney, Secretary-Treasurer Noye, and

Chairperson Wilson have tirelessly and relentlessly met, presented, pleaded with the ministers of education and the treasury boards to convince them of

Surrey’s uniqueness. As a board we have also met

with MLAs and MPs to ask for their help.

As a board, we do not work in a silo and have liaised with the City of Surrey, Surrey Board of Trade, CUPE, Surrey Teachers Association and parent groups to

collaborate together to lobby the government for more schools, and having them approved prior to schools [enrolment] being at 110 per cent and then wait for four years if approval is given while it goes through the build-ing process.

Parents who are either losing or having their programs aff ect-ed or children not being able to go to their neighbourhood schools weigh heavily on all trustees, and trustees have met with these groups and individu-als to see if any solutions can be found.

As trustees, we know the government is now listening to how dire the situation in Surrey is for our most precious asset, our children.

To the editor

A novice driver from Abbotsford has been curbed aft er he was seen racing another car on Highway 1 in Surrey.

On May 5, at just aft er 1 a.m., the Port Mann Traffi c Services offi cer spotted a car speeding near 152 Street on Highway 1. It was travelling 142 km/h in a 90-km/h zone.

As the offi cer ap-proached the vehicle – a 2008 Grey Infi niti G37 – he saw it was jockeying for position with another car.

Once the vehicles were side by side, both accelerated to a radar reading of 197 km/h in a 100-km/h zone.

Th e second vehicle then darted off the highway at the 176 Street off -ramp, while Infi niti was pulled over near 192 Street.

Th e driver of the Infi niti is a 22-year-old man from Abbotsford.

He was given a $468 ticket for excessive speeding and received a 15-day driving prohi-bition. His vehicle was also impounded for a week.

“Vehicles travelling at this rate of speed on our highways is certain-ly not the norm,” said Const. Mike Moore of Port Mann Traffi c

Services.”Port Mann Traffic

Services is looking for witnesses to help identify the second vehicle. If you were

travelling on Highway 1 between 152 and 176 Streets at about 1:20 a.m. on May 5 and have any information about this incident,

contact the Port Mann Traffic Services at 604-526-9744 and cite file #2016-2750.

City council lauds scholarship winner

By Jennifer LangA Cloverdale student leader with a

keen interest in local politics has won a Canadian Women in Municipal Government Scholarship.

Claire McCallum is one of four recipients of the $1,000 scholarship, awarded by the Federation of Cana-dian Municipalities (FCM) to young women who demonstrate exceptional leadership and a strong interest in lo-cal politics.

Th e Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary student is an active member of her school’s student council, and won the

scholarship for her research essay, “How women make a diff erence in community service, leadership posi-tions and politics.”

Th e Grade 12 student was recog-nized by Mayor Linda Hepner andcouncil at last week’s council meeting.

“It’s gratifying to know that there is such a high interest in local politics among our young women across the country,” Hepner said.

“I am especially proud that local Surrey teen, Claire McCallum, has been recognized by the FCM for her leadership and work in this area.”

Local government interest earns FCM nod for McCallum

While each donation to the Surrey Museum is special, some simply sing. A Landsdowne playerpiano, circa 1904, was recently donated and will now become part of the history gallery for visi-tors to enjoy. With sheet music for any song from “Amazing Grace” to the Batman theme, museumstaff are excited about the addition.

“It’s a special piece,” explains curator Lana Panko. “Player pianos were once an important entertain-ment device for families. From 1890 to about 1920, they were the equivalent to Netfl ix today.”

Piano making became a major Canadian indus-try at the time. Skilled craft sman working in small shops produced just one to two instruments a month, increasing the demand dramatically. How-ever, with the introduction of radio and sound fi lms in the 1920s, the player piano craze faded. Extra pocket money was put toward new appliances like washing machines and vacuum cleaners instead.

For some families though, the player piano re-mained a priority. Peter Chittim, who donated his to the Surrey Museum, purchased his as an antique in 1967. Th e family did not want to let the piece go, but did not have space for it anymore.

Th is family heirloom will live on at the SurreyMuseum. A specialist is scheduled to tune the piano and staff are being trained to play it.

“Th e cool thing about player pianos is if you don’t play them, they stop working,” explains Panko. “It’s like any tradition, you need to keep it going to keep it alive. We’re grateful to be part of keeping this family tradition alive.”

See it yourself at the Surrey Museum, 17710 56A Avenue. It’s open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays and Statutory Holidays. Admission is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society. For more information, call 604-592-6956 or visit surrey.ca/heritage.

City honours the ‘Mayor of Fleetwood’By Kevin DiakiwTh e man oft en called

the “Mayor of Fleet-wood” has been given Surrey’s Good Citizen Award for 2016.

Rick Hart, a long-time community activ-ist and president of the Fleetwood Community Association, was hon-oured at a ceremony on May 4.

Hart has long been the defender of all things Fleetwood, and in his many years as head of the area’s community association, developed a unique style for the job.

Hart is not easily rattled and when facing Surrey council about a problematic project planned for the com-munity, he seldom rests at telling council it is simply not welcome.

He outlines what form it has to take, how much parking is required, and what setbacks are needed in order for it to be acceptable to the com-munity.

Hart is also a vision-ary who oft en sees well ahead of time when public policy needed adjustment.

In Surrey’s eighth year of a property tax freeze, Hart saw that the city would need more income to pay for some of the services required.

“It’s starting to fracture... I think... we’ve gone too far,” Hart told Black Press in 2001, adding Surrey residents are oft en left uninformed about the impacts of the popular policy. “Th e public isn’t told what they’re going to lose.”

He also said the city continued to generate revenues through user fees and higher utility fees – in other words, he said, through taxes.

“What is a tax?” Hart asked. “You can call it a diff erent name. It still comes out of your pocket.”

Fift een years lat-er, civic politicians publicly decried the tax freeze, saying it had put them in an untenable

fi scal situation.In 2005, Hart ran as

an independent for city council. He challenged the current administra-tion for not matching development with sup-porting infrastructure.

He pointed to an 81-storey highrise pro-posal as an example.

“Super-sizing is not a healthy thing,” Hart said. “I don’t have a problem doing these things, but where’s the rest of it?”

He wanted to see roads and other critical infrastructure in place before projects were given approval.

He also cited a lack of social services and an

unhealthy environment at city hall as his other key concerns.

While he fought for issues city-wide, his heart belonged to Fleetwood.

One of his causes célèbres was to lobby for a statue of war veteran Lance Cpl. Th omas Fleetwood, who the community is named for. It fi nally arrived in 2008.

“Th is project has been a vision of our association for the past 10 years and would not have been possible without the support of the province and the city,” Hart said at the time.

“It will bring together a legacy to preserve the history of the past and add vitality and cultural resonance to urban planning by celebrat-ing the community’s heritage and honouring a man who gave his life for Canada’s freedom in the First World War.”

Hart is currently a commissioner on the city’s Heritage Advisory Commission, a member

of Light Rail Links Co-alition, a member of the Fleetwood Business Im-provement Association Organizing Committee and president of the Fleetwood Community Association.

He had previously been deputy chair of the city’s Parks, Recre-ation and Culture Com-mission, the Citizens Advisory Committee for West Clayton NCP, Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archive Capital Campaign Team and the Surrey Association of Sustain-able Communities.

“As an active com-munity advocate and leader for the past 25 years, Rick Hart is a most deserving winner of this year’s Good Citizen Award,” said Mayor Linda Hepner. “While Rick is known aff ectionately as Mr. Fleetwood for all the tremendous work he has done for that community, his contri-butions extend to our city as a whole. Rick’s selfl ess dedication has made our city a better

place to live and work for all.”

Accepting the award

for Hart, who is coping with health issues, was long-time politician

and community worker Penny Priddy.

Cloverdale Legion showcases amateur boxing at its fi nest

Federal funds to pay for Legion’s new floors

By Jennifer LangTh ere was a welcome federal

government announcement Sat-urday at the Cloverdale Legion, where a months-long renovation project is underway.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 is receiving $22,500 through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, Clover-dale-Langley City MP John Aldag announced on behalf of the federal minister of families,

children and social development, Jean-Yves Duclos.

Th e money will enable the Legion to renovate the fl ooring in the building, in order to off er a safe environment for seniors to continue to dance, and take part in seminars and other events at Branch 6, a popular community gathering spot for clubs, live mu-sic, meetings, and socializing.

Th e building is undergoing a $350,000 renovation that will

upgrade the auditorium, kitchen, washrooms and lounge area, and update the interior. Of the bud-get, $152,000 is a federal Canada 150 Community Infrastructure grant, which Branch 6 matched, dipping into its reserves to pay for the project.

Th e branch is expected to remain open with as little dis-ruption to patrons as possible during the renovations, expected to wrap up by October.

Port Mann use jumps as Pattullo slows to a crawlBy Jeff NagelTh e Port Mann

Bridge is seeing a jump in traffi c as several thousand more drivers pay tolls to avoid worse-than-usual traffi c delays at the free Pattullo Bridge as a result of construction.

Transportation In-vestment Corp. spokes-man Greg Johnson said 10 to 15 per cent more vehicles crossed the Port Mann on Monday and Tuesday last week than would on a typical weekday.

Normal weekday traffi c for the toll bridge is between 100,000 and 110,000 crossings.

Transportation ministry offi cials hope more drivers try the Port Mann as an alter-native to the Pattullo, which has become a worse bottleneck with one lane closed in each direction for the next fi ve months until early October.

And if the Pattullo slowdowns aren’t bad enough, drivers on that route also hit major congestion in New Westminster, where Front Street is closed until July for the dis-mantling of the city’s parkade there.

New Westmin-ster politicians have repeatedly urged the B.C. government to off er a reduced toll or some other incentive at the Port Mann Bridge during the Pattullo work to encourage more motorists to take the tolled crossing.

Johnson said that option was not consid-ered.

“Th e best incentive for using the Port Mann Bridge is the time saving drivers get,” he said.

He said fl uctuations in traffi c at the Port Mann are expected in the weeks ahead as drivers re-evaluate their options in light of the Pattullo work.

“Ultimately, we think they’re going to make the decision to choose the faster and more re-liable option, which is the Port Mann Bridge,” Johnson said. “But we also expect it’s going to take some time for people to come to that realization.”

Th e Pattullo was completely shut down last weekend as the $10-million rehabil-itation of the deck began in earnest, but this week were the fi rst weekdays where com-muters grappled with the lane closures.

Th ey’re causing an estimated 20- to 40-minute delays in the morning rush and 10 to 30 minutes in the aft ernoon peak, with higher volumes

resulting on all feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster.

Complete Pattullo Bridge closures are ex-pected two nights each week and one weekend

a month.New Westminster

Mayor Jonathan Coté said he still hopes the province considers reduced Port Mann tolls during Pattullo

construction.“Out of all the cross-

ings in the area the Port Mann is the one that does have some excess capacity, so any opportunity to reduce

the tolls is something we certainly support,” Coté said.

He acknowledged doing that could reduce the toll revenue the province receives.

“It’s easy for me to say as the mayor of New Westminster who doesn’t have to feel the fi nancial impact of making that decision.”

NO INTEREST FOR 3 YEARS1WITH


A perfect matchBy Tracy HolmesCloverdale senior Ar-

lean Friesen wasn’t the least bit surprised when her beau, William New-stater, got down on one knee and proposed on Boxing Day, less than a year aft er the 86-year-olds met through an online dating site.

“We talked about everything under the sun,” the senior said of the countless hours she and Newstater spent over the previous months getting to know each other. “I knew it was happening.”

But while it’s estimat-ed one-in-fi ve relation-ships start online, and that the use of online dating has jumped 40 per cent among adults 50 years of age and older, it was an avenue of meeting companions that Friesen hadn’t ex-perimented with before.

She said she was inspired to give it a try last spring – her husband had died the year before, and she

wanted to fi nd someone to share her life with again – by the success of one of the pastors at her church who had met his wife that way.

Marriage was not at the top of her mind, however.

“You go with an idea that you have a friend only,” Friesen said. “You can’t think of it any other way.”

But even though she knew that others had had positive experienc-es with online dating, she had some hesita-tions with the concept, and chose to make the foray without creating an offi cial profi le.

“Th at’s why I didn’t put my picture up, why I didn’t answer the questions,” she said. “I never signed up.”

Able to peruse other profi les regardless, she chatted with a couple of men. But it was Newstater’s photo – one the Calgary resident had posted of him-self standing with his

granddaughters – that really caught her atten-tion.

“I thought that he looked so neat,” she said.

Her message? “I said, ‘I like your smile’.”

Aft er sharing her photo via email – New-stater said he insisted that without a photo, he wouldn’t continue to correspond – the connection between the seniors quickly grew. Th ey spoke on the phone every night, and travelled to each other’s hometown to spend time together, discover-ing along the way that

they had many things in common, including a farming background and that neither liked the ocean.

“She’s cost me an awful lot of telephone bills,” Newstater quipped during a chat the day before the wedding.

Th e pair tied the knot on April 9, at Peace Portal Alliance Church in South Surrey.

Friesen said even be-fore she met Newstater, she knew she wanted to get married again; to fi nd someone to enjoy travel and other activi-ties with.

“I don’t like being leftalone and I don’t see the point of being alone,” she said. But, “you have to fi nd somebody you can go with.”

According to infor-mation online, more and more single seniors are turning to online dating sites to fi nd companionship.

For anyone venturing into that world, tips for keeping safe include staying somewhat anonymous in the early stages – create a sepa-rate email and don’t be too quick to share per-sonal information such as a home address. If deciding to meet, pick somewhere public.

As well, online pro-fi les should be honest, include a photograph or two and be up to date.

For Friesen, it was also important to start as friends.

“I think it only works if you become friends fi rst,” she said.

Th ose who know the senior say they couldn’t be more positive and excited about how it’s all worked out.

“It’s so, so wonderful to see what can happen when you’re 86,” said Hope Hilstad, who met Friesen through church and attended the cou-ple’s April 9 wedding in Peace Portal’s chapel.

“Th ey’re so connect-ed, you can just see how much they love each other.”

And while it may be Friesen’s fourth time at the altar, her perspec-tive on the marriage is brand new.

“As far as I’m con-cerned, it’s the fi rst one,” Friesen said.

“It’s a new life, new start, everything new again.”

Arts funding announcedTh ree arts and cultural institutions in Surrey will

receive a share of $130,000 in provincial operating grants from the BC Arts Council, it was announced Friday.

Th e BC Arts Council is an independent agency funded by the province of British Columbia, and in 2015-2016, it provided $24 million to artists and cultural organizations in communities across B.C.

Th e operating grants are as follows: $77,000 for the Surrey Art Gallery, $28,000 for the Surrey Mu-seum and Archives, and $26,936 for the Arts Coun-cil of Surrey.

“Access to the Surrey Art Gallery’s exhibitions and events are made available for free as a result of grant funding,” said Surrey Art Gallery Association president Jannette Maedel.

“Th ese grants enable the gallery to provide learn-ing opportunities and exhibitions that engage tens of thousands of visitors and program participants, as well thousands of school children from across the Metro Vancouver region and beyond each year.”

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner applauded the con-tinued support of the BC Arts Council because the grants have an immediate impact on arts and cul-ture programming in the city.

Surrey’s cultural organizations and its artists pro-vide “signifi cant benefi ts to our city through com-munity engagement that promotes social cohesion and provides substantial economic impact,” Hepner said.

Peter Fassbender, minister of community, sport, and cultural development, and minister responsible for TransLink, made the announcement.

By Rick KupchukMore than 500 fi rearms were

turned in to Surrey RCMP during their 24-day Safe City project last month.

With support from the National Weapons Enforce-ment Support Team and B.C.’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, local police contacted owners of restricted and prohibited fi rearms whose registrations had expired.

Th e Safe City project ran from April 4 to 22, and in addition to the fi rearms turned in, 3,000 rounds of ammunition were also handed over to police. Most owners did so while requesting RCMP safeguard the fi rearms while they were re-registered. Roughly 50 fi rearms were given to offi cers by owners no longer wishing to keep them.

Th e emphasis of the program was education, more than en-forcement, said Assistant Com-missioner Bill Fordy, Offi cer in Charge of Surrey RCMP.

“Th e Surrey RCMP recog-nizes there are many reasons why gun owners may have let their fi rearms registration lapse, including not even realizing they are expired,” Fordy said. “Th e vast majority of fi rearm owners in our city are compliant with the laws. Th e intent of the Safe City project is not to penalize gun owners, but to educate those with expired registrations on the legal requirements to own a fi rearm.”

Many fi rearms had been passed on from deceased family members to individuals unaware of registration requirements. Other fi rearms were being stored

improperly, which police say increases the potential of falling into the wrong hands.

“Th is project contributed to our overall goal of improving public and offi cer safety and reducing the number of unreg-istered fi rearms in Surrey,” said Fordy.

Anyone who still has unwant-ed fi rearms can contact Surrey RCMP on its non-emergency line (604-599-0502). For security reasons, fi rearms should not be taken to the main detachment of district offi ces.

Information on licensing, registration and general safe-keeping of fi rearms is online at the RCMP’s Canadian Fire-arms Program website at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf

New highsHome buyers paid

even higher prices for real estate in B.C.’s Low-er Mainland in April.

Data released by local real estate boards show the benchmark price

of detached houses climbed by four to fi ve per cent from March.

Th e April benchmark prices of $1.4 million in Greater Vancouver (which excludes Surrey, North Delta and White Rock) and $776,000 in the Fraser Valley rep-resent a one-year price gain of 30 per cent in both regions.

seen in Mission (up 7.6 per cent), South Burnaby (up 6.9 per cent) and South Surrey (up 6.6 per cent.) Th e biggest price increase from one year ago was in Tsawwassen, up 41 per cent.

Both real estate boards reported record high sales in April.

Benchmark prices of townhouses were $353,300 across the Fraser Valley in April, up 17.6 per cent from a year ago, while apart-ments were up 15 per cent year-over-year to $219,900.

In the Greater Van-couver area, townhous-es were up 22 per cent from one year ago to $608,600, while apart-ments were up 20.6 per cent to $475,000.

Physical Therapists use ultrasound waves to assist injury healing and repair of body tissue. This form of treatment was proven and has been in use since the 1940’s. The question of cat purring as a healing treatment has also been shown to be true. The vibration frequency of purring is in the same range as therapeutic healing used in human medicine. Research has suggested that having a purring cat as part of the family will also decrease stress, and lower blood pressure in the family members. Cats will purr when they need to repair a broken bone or damaged tissue. The next time you look at your cat remember they are a special family member with their ability to assist healing.

Good record keeping is vital. Can you do it yourself or do you need a bookkeeper?2. Income and expenses for 2015 need to be reported on your personal tax return by June 15th.3. Do you have a GST number? If in any 4 consecutive quarters or one quarter you have reached $30,000 in income, you must open a GST account and collect GST on your sales, and thereafter � le GST each quarter/year.Need help?

REAL ESTATE TEAM

I can only comment for the present. At this time, our team still has more buyers than sellers and a shortage of listings. We are very concerned about the market because it can stop cold at anytime, as it did in 2006 and 2007. The best advice I can give is to buy and sell in the same market. If you have bought something already or have an opportunity to buy, then if you sell now it does not matter to you. If you are a speculator, then you must know that markets go up and go down. No one knows for sure.

Q:

A:

What can I do for a pre-summer cleanse?

The best way to ‘cleanse’ or ‘detox’ is to give your body the nourishment it needs to support natural detoxi� cation, while minimizing your exposure to toxins. Many detox products and cleanses do not provide optimal nutrition to achieve this and can even deplete your body of certain nutrients, making you feel worse.To reduce the burden on our bodies, I advocate for basic lifestyle strategies to be incorporated into daily living, rather than a ‘quick � x’ approach. These include eating a wholesome diet focusing on organic foods, using natural household products and cosmetics, minimizing the use of medications wherever possible, not smoking, consuming alcohol in moderation, and practicing effective stress management. Speci� c measures to support detoxi� cation can be discussed with your Naturopathic Doctor.

For most Canadian homeowners, paying off their mortgage as quickly as possible is a top priority. Paying down extra principal in the early years by whatever means possible can shorten the life of your mortgage - and dramatically lower the interest you’ll pay over the long haul.

Accelerate Your Mortgage Freedom

1. Increase your mortgage payment annually2. Increase the frequency of your payments3. Make use of double-up privileges4. Round your payments up5. Pay a lump sum whenever possible6. Raise payments in line with increased income

Here are a few tips on how to make this happen:

Your Financial Advisor ExpertWe just bought a DIY Will kit for our estate planning, we have a house, investments & GIC collectively $950,000 and couple rental properties that we bought almost 15 years ago. We would like to distribute it among our children; Do we need anything else apart from the will?In 10 years that i have been helping my clients with estate planning tools, I can never stress this enough: A Will alone is not an estate plan! A Will is a key component of an effective estate plan. A true estate plan is a reasoned

strategy for arranging your personal and property affairs. Estate plan requires you and your financial advisor to work very closely with your accountant and lawyer to make sure a well-tailored plan is created. Estate planning goes beyond simply deciding who gets what; it’s about taking care of yourself and your property while you are living, and making decisions about caring for your family when you have passed on. Advertisements for do-it-yourself Will kits leave the impression that one need only fill in a few blanks to create a legally enforceable Will. Be careful: You may miss out on tax and personal planning opportunities that do not require a Will, and in fact may require that a Will not be involved • Without being properly informed about tax, estate, family and property laws, you run the risk

that your wishes are rendered void — or worse — you create unintended legal results that cause increased costs and grief for your family

• There is no ongoing monitoring to ensure your estate plan continues to be effective • All else being equal, do-it-yourself Wills are much more easily challenged than a Will prepared after

full consultation with a lawyer

DENTIST

Q:A:

What is periodontitis?

Periodontitis is a gum infection that damages the soft tissue and bone that supports teeth. It can cause tooth loss as well as an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious problems. Periodontitis causes the inner layer of the gum and bone to pull away from the teeth and form pockets where debris and bacteria collect. The toxins produced by the bacteria break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. As the disease progresses teeth are no longer anchored in place. Periodontitis is usually the result of poor oral hygiene but there can be other factors such as hormonal changes, medications, illnesses and family history of gum disease. The most common treatment is scaling and root planing to remove tartar and bacteria from your tooth surfaces. Brushing, fl ossing daily and regular dental checkups can reduce your chance of developing periodontitis.

What are some tips for growing tomatoes!

Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable to grow, or are they a fruit? Some key tips to making sure that they grow well for you;

They should not be planted outside when the daily low temperature drops below 10 degrees celcius. Cold temperatures inhibit their growth. You should plant them in full sun, any less than 6 hours and they won’t produce well. You should add a tablespoon of lime to the soil when you plant them. You should also fertilize them with Miracle Gro Tomato Food every week. Tying them to a stake helps them grow better and keep the tomatoes off the ground.

A Giant move for LangleyBy Gary AhujaAft er months of rumour and specula-

tion, the Vancouver Giants have made it offi cial — they are moving to Langley.

Th e Western Hockey League (WHL) franchise made the announcement May 3at the Langley Events Centre.

Th e agreement is for 10 years, said Ron Toigo, the Giants’ majority owner.

“It is a multi-year agreement. Th ere is no subsidy or fi nancial guarantee provid-ed. It is more a partnership,” said Jason Winslade, the Township’s general manager of municipal administration and commu-nity services.

Th e Giants players will remain billeted in Ladner — they have a training facility there — but the team will hold some prac-tices at the LEC.

Th ere had been speculation that the Giants would partner with the city of Surrey to build a new rink in Bridgeview, but those plans have so far failed.

“I don’t know if it puts and end to those (rumours),” Toigo said. “Right now we are re-ally focused on this. We put that on the back burner.”

Th e City of Surrey is looking for partners for a spectator-facility and will put up the land needed for such a project. But proposals from a number of groups – including the Giants – were rejected last summer.

“None of the proposals would take on the risk of defi cit or liability,” said Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne. “So council said we wouldn’t go forward, we didn’t want $1- to $2 million-a-year defi cit.”

Hayne said the project isn’t dead as the city is “still serious in pursing partners, but it would likely need senior levels of govern-ment” to get involved. And having the Giants

return to the table wouldn’t be ruled out. “If they came to us with something that made sense, we’d look at it.”

But Toigo insists the WHL team isn’t look-ing at Surrey. “Th e focus is to try and make it work here.”

Th e Giants entered the WHL in 2001 and spent their fi rst 15 years at the Pacifi c Colise-um, winning the 2006 WHL championship and the 2007 Memorial Cup.

But the team has struggled with attendance — and on the ice — the past few seasons.

Th ey averaged 5,815 fans per game in 2014/15 but that number dropped to 5,169 this past season.

Th at was still good for seventh in the league, according to hockeydb.com.

Calgary led the league with 8,217 fans per game. Th e league average for the 22-team league was 4,535.

Th e LEC holds 5,276 but Toigo said there is a possibility an additional 1,000 seats could be added.

“Th e bottom line is we haven’t been a verygood team for the last number of years, which certainly played a big role in this,” Toigo said of the attendance woes.

Th e Giants played six games at the LEC in 2010 while the Pacifi c Coliseum was hosting events for the Vancouver Olympic Games. Toigo said it was not a smooth transition backthen, citing traffi c congestion and parking is-sues.

Th e team hosted a pre-season game against the Kelowna Rockets at the LEC in September — and while Toigo was not in attendance — Rockets owner Bruce Hamilton gave the ven-ue a glowing review and suggested this was something Toigo should consider.

Th e Giants commissioned a professional polling company to conduct a survey of Met-ro Vancouver and Toigo said the numbers were staggering.

Th e poll showed that 80 per cent of the re-spondents said they would buy tickets to a game while 40 per cent said they would buyseason tickets.

“Th is is where the growth is, this is where the young families are, this is where our demographic is,” he said. “You can get to (Langley) from everywhere.”

And while the team is expected to save a substantial amount of money with the move to the Fraser Valley, that was not the onlyfactor.

“It is all about the best environment for the Giants to succeed and helping our young guys to become the players they want to be,” Toigo said, adding that he fi gures the atmo-sphere created by a full house in a facility the size of the LEC is worth “at least four or fi ve wins a year.”
