Random killing ‘pointless’ loss By Jennifer Lang The man who was killed late Sunday evening in Cloverdale was trying to prevent a break in, police said Monday, calling the tragic event a random shooting. Police say the victim, 42-year-old Colin Hill, was shot during an alteration that took place just before midnight July 12. Investigators believe the shooting was random. The men did not know each other. Police say Hill confronted a man trying to break into his home in the 16500-block of 64 Avenue. The suspect, a 22-year-old Surrey male, was arrested two hours later in an apartment block in Burnaby, after a witness reported a male brandishing a gun and attempting a break in. The suspect and vehicle description matched. “I am still angry at the pointless loss of life,” said Chief Superintendent Bill Fordy,
Officer in Charge of the Surrey RCMP. The shooting is not believed to be related to the drug turf war that’s brought more than 30 shootings to the city since March 8. Anyone with information about Sunday night’s shooting is asked to call the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team tip line at 1-877-551-4448 (IHIT).
Shots land in bakery Shots were fired into the front window of COBS Bread at Clayton Crossing early Sunday morning in an incident police are for now describing as a random act. At around 2:12 a.m. July 12, police responded to a report of shots fired into the window of the bakery. No one was injured, but shell casings were found on the scene. Anyone with further information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

AFFORDABLE
By Jennifer Lang To anyone acquainted with Jim Mason, it might be hard to picture the long-time Cloverdale businessman kicking back in a remote log cabin, or peeling rubber at Ashcroft Speedway in a classic hot rod (his own – a 1943 Ford). But now that he and his wife Nola have stepped aside from their family-run furniture store, Masons Cloverdale Home Furnishings, that’s exactly how he’ll roll. Instead of presiding over a well-appointed showroom in the historic heart of Surrey, picture him puttering around a cozy workshop or tinkering dockside, ready to set off for a day of fishing.

For a man who’s worked steady since the age of 16, it’s been difficult to imagine one day retiring. “I used to say I was going to retire in 10 years. And five years later, I was still saying I was going to retire in 10 years,” said Jim in a recent wide-ranging interview about his four decades as a furniture business entrepreneur. “I realized I needed to set a date.” That date was June 30. There was no party. No fuss. Just a quiet handing over of the reins to his son, Derek, 35, who is buying the business.

B.C. appetite for pot reform riding high By Jeff Nagel B.C.’s has a strong appetite for marijuana reform with more than 70 per cent of respondents to a new poll urging either legalization or decriminalization. The Insights West survey found 67 per cent said they support outright legalization, 28 per cent opposed it and five per cent were undecided. Support was slightly stronger among women, the under-35 age group and Vancouver Island residents, but at least 65 per cent back legalization in every region and within each age group. “There’s a lot of support for this,” said Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco. He said the results are a further climb from about 55 per cent support in B.C. a decade ago,
and follows legalization moves in U.S. states and a growing number of B.C. public figures endorsing reform over the years. A separate question asked which pot reform option most closely fits their view. Legalization was on top with 38 per cent, while 24 per cent said it should be decriminalized, 27 per cent said it should only be available for medical purposes, and seven per cent want it to always be illegal. Asked about the pros and cons of legalization, 87 per cent said taxing pot would generate useful revenues and more than threequarters said cannabis has legitimate medical and health benefits, existing dispensaries are a safer method of access than drug dealers, and that legalization would let

Support for marijuana reform was slightly stronger among women.
police focus on other priorities. Sixty-seven per cent believed gang violence tied to the illegal drug trade would decline. Presented with a list of arguments against legalization, the top
concern cited by 58 per cent was that it would result in more drugimpaired driving. Relatively few (35 per cent or less) agreed with concerns expressed by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose – that legalization would increase risks of mental illness such as schizophrenia in some users and lead to greater use among children and teens. More than two-thirds of those polled endorsed the City of Vancouver decision to regulate existing medical marijuana dispensaries that sell pot illegally there rather than shut them down as Ambrose urged. Canseco said the tough talk from Ambrose in recent weeks is likely aimed at buffing the Tories tough-on-crime reputation to hang onto Conservative votes
elsewhere in Canada leading up to this fall’s federal election. “I don’t think she was appealing to the B.C. voters,” he said. “I think she was appealing to the hard core Conservative base in other parts of the country that don’t want to see this legalized.” Health Canada last week announced it will now let approved commercial producers of medical marijuana make and sell cannabis oil – in addition to dried bud – but not other edible products such as pot brownies and cookies. That move followed a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in June that it is unconstitutional for the government to limit access to medical marijuana to just the dried form.

We’re in the Making People Happy business: Jim Mason From page one
Nola found the decision to retire much easier. When asked what she’ll miss about working, she laughed, admitting with a smile, “Nothing!” Jim and Nola Mason have been fixtures of the retail scene in Cloverdale since Jan. 15, 1992, when Masons Cloverdale Home Furnishings opened for business. A young Jim Mason got his start in 1974, when he and his father went into the retail business in north Burnaby, opening Mason’s TV and Stereo. Just a few years later, they bought a furniture store at 70th and Granville Street in Vancouver’s Marpole District. By that time, Jim and Nola had moved to Fort Langley, where they had a home and started raising a family – three boys: Jim Jr., Derek and Curtis. Jim Mason was already tiring of the lengthy commute from the Valley to Marpole in 1979 or ’80 when Fortune played a hand. Ed and Lou Hunter, the owners of Cloverdale Home Furnishings at 5767 176 Street, Surrey, were in a pinch. Their furniture store was destroyed by fire, and a shipment of new furnishings in transit was on its way. A mutual vendor told Jim Mason about the problem and he stepped up with storage space until the Cloverdale furniture company could rebuild. “That’s when I met Ed, and we kept in contact,” says Jim. “I told him, when he’s interested in retiring, I’m interested in buying his buildings in Cloverdale.” The deal wouldn’t come to fruition for another 15 years or so, but when it did, Jim knew it would be crucial to keep the original name as part of the new store. So he simply added his own surname, Mason’s, to the original moniker. It had been the same with Fawcett

He also plans to remain an active force as a director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association. “I expected when I moved here in ‘92 in five years we would see a more dramatic turnaround. We are on the cusp of blossoming as a town centre.”

‘People like ‘Cloverdale.’ We very intentionally retained and pushed it in all of our advertising. It put us on the map.’ - Jim Mason, Mason’s Cloverdale Home Furnishings
“People like ‘Cloverdale’,” he explains. “We very intentionally retained and pushed it in all of our advertising. It puts us on the map.” Today, customers come from Vancouver, Kelowna and Vancouver Island. They’re drawn to the store’s reputation of good quality furniture – with a low price guarantee – and unmatched customer service. “We have a very high rate of repeat and referral customers,” he says proudly. “People buy furniture so infrequently, they often don’t know where to begin,” he adds. “We take a lot of time to explain because
home furnishings and mattresses. Customers like that it’s a family business. “Even employees become part of the family,” he says. In addition to Derek, Jim and Nola, there’s Alyson Brent and Ivan Schubert, a Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary student who works part time in the warehouse and who is the fourth brother in the Schubert family to work for Mason’s Cloverdale Home Furnishings. “I like to say, ‘We are in the making-peoplehappy business,” he says. The furniture business is all about developing a relationship
with the customer. “We have to figure out their needs,” he says. “They know they need furniture, but often, it’s not defined. When we spend time up front, we get a happy customer. When people have a good experience, they go out of their way to tell friends and relatives.” There have been difficult times, and rewarding times. “I’ve passed this onto Derek: ‘It doesn’t matter how tough it gets. When you’re determined, you can get through it with a smile and your customers aren’t aware of the difficult circumstances.’” It’s only been in recent years Jim and Nola have been able to scale back to working just five days a week, and taking long weekends and vacations. Canim Lake in the Cariboo-Chilcotin has been a favourite getaway. Jim says he couldn’t picture what retirement would look like. Until, that is, they bought a waterfront cabin at the retreat. That’s when he started realizing that there’s more to life than just work, and began focusing on life beyond the furniture showroom. He’ll remain a prop-

A big thank you to responders Surrey ‘grandmom’ is grateful to fire, ambulance and hospital staff after suffering a spill To the editor; Yesterday I slipped while playing with my grandson and landed on concrete pavers. Blood was everywhere and I couldn’t see the damage to my eye. We called 911 and within five minutes the fire department was there and a few minutes later the ambulance arrived and transported me to Surrey Memorial Hospital. I was triaged within minutes and sent to Acute Care 3. A little while later a surgeon took me into a room, cleaned my eye area and informed me I needed about
eight stitches for my eye and X-rays for my knees. I have never had a stitch in all of my 63 years and was very nervous. A nurse came in to prep me, clean the massive amounts of blood in my hair and use a special road rash scrub brush to remove the debris from my knees. All the while I am trying not to cry, she was so gentle. My eye got stitched, X-rays taken and then my knees were bandaged up. I am absolutely amazed at all the care and attention I received and the professionalism
To the editor
Human hypocrisy A few years ago I read about an Alberta aboriginal senior citizen who had insisted upon animal-control officials not disturbing – let alone snuffing out – a couple of adult bears that were invading her garbage containers. As bitterly ironic fate would have it, a few days later those bears, somehow, got into physical contact with the woman and
mortally mauled her. When I read about it, I felt naught but admiration for that woman: I believe(d) that she so much respected nature, though especially the animal life, that she in essence sacrificed her life for their lives and freedom. When are we going to clearly acknowledge the great injustices being committed against wild animals (in this case stray adult bears and their cubs near Port

Hardy) by human encroachment via deforestation and development on the animals’ natural home grounds that had been theirs many millennia before colonization? Too many stray wild bears, and other such potentially dangerous animals, are being killed when they behave in a threatening manner towards humans. Thus we’re ready and willing to kill them when we could
make it a regulated rule to dose them with as much potent tranquilizer as is necessary to encase and relocate them all, alive and well. But it appears that humanity’s superior-minded nature allows our collective conscience to simply shoot dead such animals for reacting in their natural, predatory manner. Frank Sterle Jr. White Rock

Punching above their weight JENNIFER LANG PHOTO
Canada’s Labour Minister Dr. Kellie Leitch, top left, listens to Yvonne Hogenes speaking at a round-table discussion last week in Cloverdale. Leitch, who is also Minister of Status of Women, met with local businesswomen at the joint offices of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and Cloverdale BIA. Hogenes, who owns Malary’s Fashion Network, a clothing boutique, says it can be frustrating for entrepreneurs trying to qualify for assistance in expanding their businesses. The minister touched on several federal initiatives, including a new action plan for women entrepreneurs announced in this year’s budget. Leitch said the plan provides capital for women-owned firms to expand, encourages greater participation of women in international trade missions, and includes a mentorship program that asks successful businesspeople to pick a woman under 35 and become her champion for a year. Leitch, who put herself through medical school by running a moving company, has become ‘very focused on women entrepreneurs’ since becoming Minister of Status of Women. ‘Fourteen to 15 per cent of small and medium-sized businesses are owned an operated by women like yourself,’ she said, adding those businesses generated over $140 billion in economic wealth in 2013 and employed 1.6 million Canadians. ‘So, you punch above your weight. You donate more back into your local communities in dollars and volunteer time.’ A 10 per cent increase in women running their own businesses each year represents a $50 billion increase to the Canadian economy, she added. ‘It’s a quantum leap.’

Leave pets at home, owners are advised Surreyites reminded not to leave dogs in vehicles on hot days
EVAN SEAL / BLACK PRESS
RCMP Cpl. Scotty Shumann and BC SPCA animal protection officer Eileen Drever get a kiss from Shumann’s two dogs, Boo, an Australian shepherd, and Ryker, a border collie, during a heat safety press conference last week.
By Evan Seal It’s not cool to leave a hot dog in your car. That’s the message the City of Surrey, BC SPCA and local emergency personnel want to get out to the public during this extremely hot, dry summer. Last Thursday afternoon, officials were on hand at Guildford Town
Centre encouraging pet owners to leave their animals at home on hot summer days rather than leave them in vehicles while they run errands throughout the city. Last year, the BC SPCA received more than 1,100 calls for dogs locked in hot vehicles and the numbers are

down by panting or by releasing heat through their paws. Often the air inside a vehicle and the upholstery are so hot the animals are unable to cool off and can suffer irreparable organ or brain damage in a matter of 10 to 20 minutes. Surrey Coun. Mary Martin was given an opportunity to sit inside one of the vehicles parked at the mall to fully understand what dogs go through. Using a hand-held temperature sensor, BC SPCA Special Constable Eileen Drever got a reading of 33 degree Celsius off the pavement and 45 degrees Celsius inside the BC SPCA vehicle. Within five minutes, Martin found the heat unbearable. If you see a dog in distress, the RCMP does not recommend residents take the law into their own hands, as breaking a car window is a crime and they can be charged. Instead they encourage citizens to contact the City of Surrey or BC SPCA, or call 911. – Black Pres

B.C. tightens rules for care of dairy cattle
JEFF NAGEL / BLACK PRESS
SPCA enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty and Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announce a new code of conduct for dairy farms at the BC SPCA’s Education and Adoption Centre in Cloverdale.
farm after inspecting its operation and imposing monitoring on it. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announced the adoption of the code at the BC SPCA’s Education and Adoption Centre in Cloverdale July 8. He said the specific standards will help industry regulators and judges determine if cru-
elty to animals has been committed. The SPCA recommended charges of wilfully causing “unnecessary pain, suffering and injury to animals” against the former Chilliwack employees, but Crown prosecutors have not yet decided on whether to proceed. Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and
enforcement officer of the B.C. SPCA, praised the adoption of the new code. “We can’t change the past but we can change the present and affect the future,” Moriarty said. “Hopefully we won’t ever see a repeat of what happened last year.” The B.C. SPCA receives an average of 8,800 cruelty complaints a year. About a quarter of those involve farm animals, but most of those involve treatment of horses. Moriarty said complaints about dairy farms are rare. Dave Eto, CEO of the B.C. Dairy Association, said he welcomes whistleblowers such as the employee who captured video of the abuse in Chilliwack. “It’s somewhat selfdestructive for a farmer to want to have animal abuse, especially for dairy cows,” Eto said. “An unhappy cow does not produce milk.”

By Tom Fletcher The B.C. government is adopting national standards for care of dairy cattle, a measure called for by the SPCA after a video surfaced showing abuse of cows last year at a Chilliwack farm. The National Dairy Code of Practice covers shelter, feed and water as well as veterinary care and handling practices. It prohibits electric prods, hitting, kicking and shouting when handling cattle. The code also demands that dairy farms recognize the companionship needs of cattle, and that their barns need adequate lighting and non-slip floors. Eight employees of Chilliwack Cattle Sales, Canada’s largest dairy farm, were fired last June after a video showed them beating cows with sticks, chains and rakes. The B.C. Milk Marketing Board lifted its ban on milk purchases from the

Love & Money – Wedding Season Has Arrived! Shelly Appleton-Benko • BA, CIM, FCSI, CSWP is a Vice President, Director, Portfolio Manager with Odlum Brown Limited.
Imagine you have just met your life partner and both of you are ready for the next big step. Besides when and where the wedding will take place, or who you plan to invite, we are concerned about the other big conversation you should have with your future spouse-to-be. One piece of advice that all newly engaged couples should consider is to share all of your financial information before the big day. Communication is the key to any successful relationship and getting serious means that you will need to address the elephant in the room. Do a reality check on debt, cash flow, spending habits and more importantly, your wish list for your financial future. The biggest source of tension for most couples is how they discuss financial decisions. Typically, disagreements occur because of a difference in opinion with savers and spenders. A great piece of advice is to allow a certain dollar amount for spenders to have free reign with each month and at the same time predetermine what the savings will be. A good rule of thumb is that larger purchases
over a predetermined amount (e.g. $100) require a discussion prior to the purchase. Often, the silent relationship killer is the debt that each partner brings to the marriage. Leaving the debt to be handled individually takes more time. It tends to be more efficient for the pay-down plan to be created and executed as a couple. Money arguments are common at any stage of a marriage but if you focus on the cause of the anxiety and set up a plan for future goals, you will set yourselves up for success. So, if you know someone starting out into wedded bliss, do them a favour and forward them a copy of this article. It could be the most valuable present you give. The information contained herein is for general information purposes only and is not intended to provide financial, legal, accounting or tax advice and should not be relied upon in that regard.

The performers were participants at the ninth annual Reformed String Camp, a summer music camp for youth taking place July 6-11 at the Canadian Reformed Church. The camp, an annual event since 2007, alternates between B.C. and Ontario and each year draws about 60 participants from across the country. The musicians are at all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, and gather for a busy week of learning, rehearsing, mentoring

Ladies’ Auxiliary donates thousands to worthwhile local causes By Jennifer Lang To those whom they quietly assist, the members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary in Cloverdale offer a lifeline of support. The Ladies Auxiliary has been around just as long as Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 – 88 years. Both groups raise funds for the community, distributing thousands of dollars each year. In the past three years, the Ladies’ Auxiliary to Branch 6 has disbursed $46,000 to community organizations. (Provincially, Ladies Auxiliaries raised $2.1 million in 2014.) On June 17, the Ladies’ Auxiliary to Branch 6 held a luncheon and cheque presentation for a range of groups serving the greatest needs of the commu-
nity, from the Cloverdale Community Kitchen and Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation (formerly Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation), to the B.C. Guide Dog Association and the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, along with more than a dozen other grateful groups. The donations help those organizations make a greater impact, according to representatives from the recipient groups, who used the event as an opportunity to spread awareness of the kind of work they perform.

It was also an opportunity for recipients to thank the Ladies’ Auxiliary for its generosity. Zion Park Manor, a long-term care facility in Cloverdale, currently cares for 99 seniors. The $1,000 donation will go along way towards setting up a pond and waterfall at the residence, according to representative Earle Hastings, speaking at the event. Evelyn, a black lab and guide dog in training, was among the recipients on hand for the luncheon, sitting quietly underneath a dining table until it was time for human representatives of the B.C. Guide Dog Association to accept a donation of $1,000. The association has trained 109 guide dog teams and another 33 autism support teams. Another recipient was the Semiahmoo Peninsula Marine Rescue Society, an organization with 30 water rescue volunteers that’s active in the White Rock and Boundary Bay areas. George Derby Centre has received a $2,000 donation, along with another $5,000 from the provincial Ladies Auxiliary. The centre is home to 300 residents, including about 200 B.C. veterans. “We cannot be successful without our community partners,” said Ricky Swan, executive director of George Derby centre. The Ladies Auxiliary is the biggest.” In all, $16,750 was donated to worthwhile causes in Surrey, along with Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley and Delta:
