Town centre plan revisited

By Jennifer LangTh e document that guides future devel-

opment in the heart of Cloverdale is being updated, and residents who want to fi nd out more are invited to the Surrey Mu-seum tonight (May 22).

Th e City of Surrey is starting the pro-cess of updating the Land Use Plan and Urban Design Concept for the Cloverdale Town Centre.

Th e city’s planning team will be on hand, explaining how the planning pro-cess will work, and seeking feedback from residents.

“At this point, we’re just looking for in-put from people,” said Don Luymas, man-ager of community planning for the City of Surrey. “What do they like about the Cloverdale Town Centre, and what would they like to see changed?”

Th e original Cloverdale Town Centre plan was done in 1990, before the comple-tion of the new Surrey Museum and the Cloverdale West Village plan to redevelop the old Cloverdale Mall site.

“Th e older plan had some areas desig-

nated for parks and plazas that don’t really make sense anymore,” he added.

Th e area under discussion coversdowntown Cloverdale between 60 Ave. and 54 Ave., from 172 Street to 180 Street, and undeveloped land southeast to 184 St.that includes Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni-versity and the Bourassa Farm property.

Th e city is updating all its town centreplans, starting with Fleetwood, Newton and Cloverdale, where relatively minor tweaks are needed.

“I don’t foresee dramatic change,” he said, adding the next step is to consultover the summer with stakeholders suchas the Cloverdale BIA, the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, Surrey Museumand Kwantlen Polytechnic University be-fore coming back to the public in the fall.

Th e meeting runs from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Welcoming remarks are at 7 p.m.

Th e Surrey Museum is located at 1771056A Avenue.

For more information, contact Erin Schultz, community planning, at 604-598-5776 or email [email protected].

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOLucas Cárdenas and Florencia Bratovich are traveling in this 1989 Cadillac limo from Patagonia, Argentina, to Alaska, and stopped in at the Cloverdale Rodeo.

It’s the ultimate road tripBy Jennifer LangIt’s the road trip of a lifetime for

a couple of freewheeling adven-turers who are riding on the ultimate set of wheels – a sleek stretch limousine.

But the 1989 white Ca-dillac that’s been home for the past two years to Lucas Cárdenas and Florencia Bra-tovich is hardly the picture of luxury.

Outside, the once-shining white paint job is crackled and peeling – a casualty of the road, an-dof four diffi cult days on the world’s largest salt fl at, Salar de Uyuni, in Bolivia.

And on the inside, instead of plush leather seats and plenty of leg room, there’s a cramped-looking bed next to a tidy stainless steel sink, one-burner stove and small

cupboards for storage.But the road-battled,

muddy machine is home for the pair, who landed in

Surrey just in time to join the parade and the classic car show at the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair, May 16 to 19.

Since setting out from Pata-gonia, in their native Argen-tina, on Feb. 23, 2012, Cárde-nas and Bratovich have visited

17 countries, sightseeing along the way, and amassing a collection of

tiny souvenirs, from dashboard hula girls to eraser-sized models of Aztec pyramids.

Th ey plan to arrive at their fi nal destination – Alaska – when they get there.

“We are travelling without watch-es and without cell phones,” Cárde-nas told Th e Reporter.

Th ey are cataloguing their ex-ploits on a website – America sin Limites (America without limits) – and on Facebook, where friends old and new are following their adven-tures, written in Spanish.

Th e pair doesn’t have a set itiner-ary, preferring to go where the road

takes them – visiting with new friends along the way.

A Cloverdale resident who heard about their adventures on Argen-tine radio contacted Cardenas, 35, and Bra-tovich, 27, inviting them to stay with his family.

“Five months later, we’re here,” Cardenas said.

Another B.C. fam-ily who met them dur-ing their three-month stay in Costa Rica has invited them home to Squamish.

“Th ey’ve been follow-ing us on Facebook all this time. Th ey invited us to stay,” Cárdenas said, remarking on what a small world it is when it comes to travel.

Th ey enjoy getting off the beaten path, prefer-ring the small towns.

“We never know” where they will be go-ing next, said Bratovich: Th ey take out the map and choose their next destination.

Th e pair has driven their 23-foot-long lim-ousine nearly the entire way across the Ameri-

cas by land, a journey to Cloverdale of an es-timated 48,000 kms or 30,000 miles.

Th e only exception was getting to Panama from Columbia, a dis-tance of about 100 km of jungle and lawless-ness. Th e limo had to be

shipped by boat. Cárde-nas and Bratovich fl ew.

Despite the myriad of countries in southern and central America on their itinerary, “We’ve never had any problem with violence or any-thing,” Cárdenas said. Ironically, aft er all this

time and distance, they recently got robbed in Seattle, WA. A scammertalked them out of $25 for a parking pass only to run off with theirmoney.

By necessity and bud-get, they’ve become ad-ept at auto repair.

Th e lengthy limo’s en-gine had to be replaced in Los Angeles – a greatplace to fi nd rare autoparts, it turned out.Th ey found a used en-gine on Craiglist.

“We replaced it and it’s running fi ne,” Cárde-nas said.

Th e unusual sight of a white Cadillac limou-sine draws admirers andthe curious. Th e pair isused to drawing a crowd of spectators.

Every morning we wake up to faces,” Cárdenas said.

Th ey make travel money by selling copies of their self-published book outlining theiradventures, and framed photos they’ve taken along the way.

Gone but not forgottenJENNIFER LANG PHOTO

The sun came out, as if on cue, as family, friends and colleagues turned out May 15 for the dedication of two City of Surrey tributes to Bill Reid (pictured above is Marion Reid, centre, and their daughters). The former MLA, cabinet minister and executive director of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce passed away last year at 78. Mayor Dianne Watts said the renaming of the Cloverdale Amphitheatre and 62 Avenue as Bill Reid Way recog-nize Reid’s 50 years of public service to Surrey. A statue is also being commissioned.

Youth skate park opensBy Jennifer LangSkaters, the wait

is over. Th e brand-new Cloverdale skate park opened over the weekend, in time for the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.

Ted Uhrich, man-ager of parks plan-ning, research and design with the City of Surrey confi rmed the state-of-the art, partially covered skate park is now open for public use.

Offi cially called the Cloverdale Youth Park, the facility is a replacement for the aging Cloverdale Youth Park at 17848 64 Avenue.

Th e new park is lo-cated at the northeast corner of Bill Reid Way (62 Ave.) and 176 Street, adjacent to the Cloverdale Recre-ation Centre.

Th e grand opening is still to be an-nounced.

Th e announcement will be good news for skaters like Langley’s Tyson Brunton and Sam Hampton, who were hoping to try out the new park last

Th ursday, but were turned away by crews completing fi nishing touches.

Hampton, 18, skates full time and says there isn’t any-thing comparable in Langley, so he oft en practices his sport in Surrey.

Refi nery off ers enormous benefi tsThis is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the

greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. Th e Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to ex-

port bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no cir-cumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fi sh and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

My fi rst column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fi shery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed.

Th e solution that is best for Canada is to build a refi nery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would fl oat and evaporate if ever spilled. Th ere are other enormous benefi ts:

• Th ere will be a major reduction in greenhouse gas-es. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refi nery. It will be so clean that in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfi elds and refi neries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the Kitimat refi nery will neutral-ize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oil-sands. Th is refi nery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. Th is is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the B.C. Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refi nery.

• An Asian refi nery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than B.C. coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. Th e Kitimat refi nery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refi nery in Canada.

• Construction of the refi nery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for fi ve years. Operations at the refi nery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C. with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. Th ese will be highly paid permanent jobs. Th ese jobs will be available for the life of the refi nery which should be in excess of

50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employmentthroughout the province.

• Th e Canadian and Provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year.

Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refi nery. Th ey are focused on extraction which is more profi table than refi ning. One of them challenged me to spear-head the refi nery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid businessplan and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions areprepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the green-est and most effi cient refi nery in the world. We are currently movingahead with engineering design and environmental work.

We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refi nery, withthe active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelinescan be built and operated safely. Leak data is available foreveryone to see on Canadian and U.S. government web-sites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are notleaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelining compa-nies in the world are based in Canada.

In addition we will build a fl eet of new tankers, pow-ered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refi ned products to Asia. Th is way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. Th e fl eet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea.

Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creat-

ing billions of new tax dollars for government coff ers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for buildingan oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fl eet that carries only refi ned fuels that fl oat and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please con-tact your local M.P. and say so. Th e Canadian government makes adecision on Northern Gateway next month.

To the editor;Some unfortunate misconcep-

tions have been created about the reduction of surgeries across Fraser Health and I would like to clarify these inaccuracies. (Re: “Fraser Health cuts surgeries to make budget,” May 8).

Fraser Health is not cancelling surgeries due to budget. Patients that need surgery are getting their surgery. Fraser Health is working within our budget, as we should be, and acting as re-sponsible stewards of the public funding we receive.

Fraser Health is the fastest growing region in the province. Each year, we perform more than 84,000 surgeries. Our hospitals are responsible for

deciding how to manage their individual surgery budgets, and this is done by physicians who prioritize their patient casel-oads; ensuring the patients who require immediate or urgent surgery go fi rst. Th e reality is that this does mean elective, lower priority, less medically needed surgeries may occur over a slightly longer period of time. Th is is consistent with practice across the prov-ince.

We understand how frustrat-ing it is for our patients who are waiting for surgery, and we have been working hard with our physician partners to fi nd inno-

vative approaches and solutions to reduce any wait list times, and improve our effi ciency and eff ectiveness. For example, we have our Soonest Surgery Tool, which allows patients to access

information that provides the names of the surgeons most likely able to perform surgery sooner than others.

Fraser Health is committed to working with our physicians to further reduce surgery wait times, ensuring patients receive the quality care they need in a timely manner.

Cloverdale’s ceilidh – a night of Celtic fun

The Tartan Pride Highland Dance Team and Th e

Joan Murray School of Highland Dance played host to a sellout crowd May 10 at the Clover-dale Catholic Parish Hall when they staged their 17th annual Ceilidh, or Celtic Night.

Th e night began with dance performances by members of the Joan Murray School – very similar to a traditional

dance school recital. An hour later the

show had developed into a near-professional show featuring the internationally-known Tartan Pride Highland Dance Team perform-ing their signature numbers with the Vancouver Police Pipe Band.

Th en the stage was turned over to western Canada’s best known Celtic stage band,

Blackthorn, and the next three hours were a blend of professional music, dance, and games for an audience of all ages.

Th e Vancouver Police Pipe Band took time off from rehearsing for their upcoming trip to London, where they will take part in the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, to give Cloverdale a preview of some of

the music they will be performing at the time-honoured ceremony,

plus of course, tradi-tional and even local pipe music.

One of the biggest crowd responses of the night was reserved for “Nelson Mandela’s Welcome To the City Of Glasgow,” a unique, African-style number danced by Tartan Pride to the VPPB’s unique piping and drumming display.

As always, Black-thorn had the audience

dancing and singing to their blend of Celtic and Canadian music of all types. Here we mean Scottish, French, Hungarian, Quebecois, Nova Scotian, Irish, Newfoundland, and Prairie. In between the array of dance and music numbers were games that had children of all ages from nine to 90 whooping it up. Saturday night was one jam-packed with fun

and laughter, music and dance.

Said Joan Murray, hostess and originator of the event, “Every one of our Celtic Nights has been a lot of fun, but I think they get better every year. Th is one was the best ever. Can you imagine what next year’s will be like?”

The Pebble Hill Elementary student was among the per-formers at the 17th annual Cloverdale Chili Cook off May 16 at Clover Square Village, where there were long lines to sample chili, and the crowds enjoyed live entertainment, kid’s activities and a guest appearance by two of the Express Clydesdales. The heavy horses, which stand 19 hands tall, spend more than 200 days on the road each year. They charmed cook off-goers of all ages and sizes.

Parents cherish their children more than anything in the world. We all want to see kids protected and cared for to ensure they grow up to be healthy and well-

adjusted adults.When the time comes for parents to entrust

their kids’ care with someone else, it can be a nerve wracking experience that’s made even more diffi cult if it’s diffi cult to fi nd the right child-care provider.

I’m happy to report that our government is providing $14.8 million to increase the number of new licensed child-care spaces for kids in British Columbia. The money can be used to build new child-care facilities, renovate existing buildings or purchase equipment to support new child-care spaces in an existing facility.

Areas of the province that are currently underserved, including Surrey and Abbotsford, will be given preference, as will facilities on school grounds, which helps kids make a smooth transition from the classroom to after-school care.

Under the B.C. Early Years Strategy, our government wants to support the creation up to 1,000 new child-care spaces between now and next March.

We will also invest $17.1 million next fi scal year for an additional 1,000 spaces. These will be on top of the approximately 104,000 spaces our government

currently supports throughout the province.It’s never going to be easy for parents to hand over

their precious treasures to the care of others. But our government is trying to ensure parents have options.

The B.C. Early Childhood tax Benefi t starting in 2015, will provide $146 million per year to approximately 180,000 families with kids under the age of six — up to $660 per year per child.

And government is providing $126 million this year through our childcare subsidy program to help make child-care more aff ordable for low-income families.

That program helped 45,000 children and made life a little easier for their parents or guardians. Less stress for families means better quality time together, and that’s something all of us can get behind.

Learn More:For more information on the capital funding

program, including applications and criteria, visit: http://www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/childcare/major_capital.htm

To learn more about the current range of early years services in B.C. and the strategy to make programs and services more integrated, accessible, aff ordable and higher quality, read the B.C. Early Years Strategy: www.mcf.gov.bc.ca/early_childhood/pdf/FamiliesAgenda_EarlyYearsStrategy_web.pdf

Something happens when you bring that baby home, and your once neat and orderly sanctuary you has become an unfamiliar land of burping cloths

covering the sofas and a rattle covered fl oor which you need to navigate in order to not set off a series of events which ends with your hot coff ee landing all over the pile of clean, unfolded laun-dry you were planning to get to two days ago.As most people will tell you: enjoy every mo-ment! They grow so fast! The fi rst year is full of so much change in growth and development. Your precious newborn goes from a helpless, fragile and completely dependent baby to a walking, somewhat talking and in some cases very active pre-toddler in only 365 days! By the time they are three years old, your child has become their own person, with their own ideas and a new set of challenges for you as parents.So many times parents feel that putting everyone else’s needs ahead of their own is the right prior-ity. And in some respects that is true. However, maintaining your own sense of self is not only important, it is essential for being able to meet the needs of others.You may be asking yourself, “How can I do that?” Depending on your own individual circumstanc-es, you can fi nd ways to build your own time and interests into your new life as a parent.If you are feeling like you may be in need of rediscovering your own self—allow for the op-portunity to think about what that means to you or what that could look like.The fi rst step Be gentle on yourself. We don’t often think about what happens to us as people when we become parents. It’s a huge change! A

happy change, but a big adjustment. It’s okay to feel like you miss doing the things you used to do. This does not mean you do not love your children. It just means you miss doing certain things you do not have time or money for now.Talk to the people in your life who are your sup-ports. Whether a spouse, sister or friend. Let them know that you are interested in making some small adjustments to bring yourself some ME time. Maybe your spouse is feeling similarly, and balancing time could work out for both of you.The next step: Create a routine early as possible. Small steps such as making sure your young chil-dren get to bed early in the evening is essential in creating a time for you to have down time at night. This is sometimes overlooked, and by the time you get the little ones to bed at night, you are ready to go too.Make a plan to prepare food, or housekeeping to allow for an hour or so a week that you can fi t in a bit of ME time. Some new parents fi nd that trying to balance home life, relationships and parenting can leave little time for anything else. It is possible with a bit of preplanning and a strong desire.Of course, we need to meet the needs of our chil-dren! That is not a question. What I am saying that with a little planning, support and self encourage-ment – it is possible to still enjoy being the person you were before children!So, if any of this resonates with you….look for some support, make a plan – and hey….take up a program at a local rec center, pull out that scrap book you started before baby or start running as you have always dreamed! There is always some-thing that can work for every family!

The process of choosing a child care provider for your child is often time consuming and the cause of some anxiety. Once you have found

someone who meets the needs of your child and the family, it is time to establish a relationship with that new person in your child’s life.

This relationship is best described as a part-nership between the child care provider and the family. Partnerships are based on regular communication, shared decision making, and mutual trust. You will also need to add in some sensitivity to each other’s perspectives – parents will be looking at the needs of their child and the child care provider will also need to look at how to best meet the needs of all the children in her care. Respect for the unique role each of you play in your child’s life and the belief that each other is doing the best they can will enhance the partnership.

Simple ways a parent can let their child care provider know they appreciate their work:• Make sure your child is fed and well rested

• Be on time for drop off and pick up• Treat your provider professionally• Be considerate of non-working hours• Be prompt with payments• Adhere to policies and read notices that are

sent home• Share information that will assist your pro-

vider in caring for your child• Communicate early about concerns, before

problems grow

The child care setting is a place where your child spends the majority of their day – very similar to your workplace. Children will estab-lish relationships with the child care providers, friendships with the children and gain security from the familiarity of this environment. It is worth the eff ort to establish and maintain a productive partnership with the child care provider.

ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ARELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER

By Sharen Wedel, Program Manager for the Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR)

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE CONCERNSABOUT YOUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER

FamiliesCloverdale

Ideally parents and child care providers will have developed a mutual communication pattern that will allow

each to bring up concerns and have them addressed and resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

Identifying the source of your concern is the fi rst step in developing a plan of action. Generally speaking there are three categories that give rise to parental concerns. Health & safety of the environment; interactions between the children and/or between the child and care provider; and application of policies and procedures. It is important to be able to be specifi c about what has caused your concern and your goal in seeing it resolved.

When the discussion with the child care provider takes place it needs to be at a time when there can be privacy. State your

concerns in a calm and respectful manner. You may be bringing up a matter that has been identifi ed and a plan for its resolution is in place. Listen carefully to the child care provider and add any information or suggestions you feel may be helpful. Arrange a suitable time in the future to discuss the progress in resolving the problem.

If after the discussion with the child care provider there does not seem to be a resolution that is agreeable to both parties you will need to proceed with choosing another child care setting for your child. Concerns relating to health and safety that are not resolved need to be reported to the Community Care Facilities Licensing. There is a licensing offi cer assigned to each licensed facility and they will follow up to ensure the health and safety of the children.

As any new parent learns, it’s not easy being a mom or dad (or caregiving grandparent). It’s lonely, isolating and sometimes downright baffl ing.

And it’s great to have someone to talk to and a place to go on days when it all feels a bit much. That simple premise is at the heart of more than 270 Family Resource Programs operating in B.C. Their work is centred on a grassroots concept developed in the 1970s that still thrives today.Wherever you live in B.C., chances are there’s a Family Resource Program (FRP) nearby (www.frpbc.ca/directory). Family Resource Programs are community-based programs designed to strengthen parenting skills, provide stimulating play environments for children and promote family and community engagement. FRPs are guided by provincial standards developed by The BC Association of Family Resource Programs (FRP-BC). These Standards assure the delivery of high-quality, comprehensive, accessible programs for families with young children. Most Family Resource Programs are open fi ve days per week for three to four hours per day. Early Childhood Educators facilitate play-based learning activities to support children’s learning and development. Family support staff provide resources and sup-port to parents and other caregivers.The parent-child interactive drop-in program is the gateway which promotes engagement, while connecting parents/caregivers to a con-tinuum of research-based family development services that include: 1) family support, 2) play-

based learning, 3) early learning and literacy, 4) parent education, and 5) information and refer-rals. There are over 270 Family Resource Pro-grams located in family service organizations, community centres, Neighbourhood Houses, Friendship Centres, Military Family Centres and Boys and Girls Clubs across the province.For some families attending the daily parent/child Drop-In is what’s needed to connect with other families, learn about early childhood development and the importance of children’s play. Other families, experiencing diffi culties, may require individualized support such as counselling, mental health or legal services. Family Resource Programs provide wrap-around support to address the needs of all families. Families attend FRPs for a variety of personal and social reasons, but once there, they also connect to resources and other services in their communities. FRPs are central for newcomers raising young children. Parents who are strug-gling suddenly discover they’re getting help to work through their challenges. They learn better ways to parent. With the growing concern at all levels about children in provincial care, FRPs go back to the basics providing families with the support they need to raise their children and keep the family together. They build on people’s strengths, acknowledging that virtually all parents want to be good parents. The family-resource approach positively impacts the ability of adults to parent their children.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling

program. The next, something new and rather questionable is

being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it

right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best

interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big

multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan,

they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold

the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the

Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials

are using the word “scam” to describe how the new

program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several

of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what

you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling

an already-working recycling

program to replace it with

something that few people think

will be as good, is a bad idea.

This Message is brought to you by:

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.
