Yes campaign takes pitch to Cloverdale Proponents hear concerns over costs, timeline By Jennifer Lang A definitive yes vote in the Metro Vancouver transit referendum is critical to Surrey, where up to 350,000 new residents are expected in the next 30 years, Cloverdale business leaders were told at a forum last week at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. If the city hasn’t received its fair share of transit and transportation funding in the past, the proposed congestion tax is a chance to change that. “There’s huge benefits for Surrey in this,” said Elizabeth Model, CEO of the Surrey Downtown BIA, which has joined the Yes coalition. The March 19 forum highlighted the benefits of the Metro Mayors’ Council Transportation and Transit Plan, and coincided with the launch of the mailin referendum. Metro Vancouver voters are being asked to support a new, 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax that would be dedicated to the Mayors’ Council transportation and transit

plan. The additional sales tax will fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades. “We get approximately 45 per cent of the $7.5 billion plan,” she said. “There’s a huge impact on our economy.” Surrey would benefit from about $3.5 billion in new infrastructure and transit upgrades, from more buses and Blines, road upgrades and an LRT – the “big ticket item” for Surrey, the city’s transportation planning manager, Philip Bellefontaine, said. “There is a criticism that areas such as Burnaby and Vancouver get all the improvements,” Bellefontaine said. Bus service in Surrey, for instance, which is measured in terms of service hours, is roughly half of the regional average. The referendum is an opportunity to “close that inequity gap,” he said. An estimated 1 million people will be moving into the region over the next 30 years. See TRANSIT / Page 6

An angel of an encore Hair donor Katie Stubbings, 7, just wants other kids to be happy By Jennifer Lang A smart and caring little girl from Cloverdale is proof you’re never too little to make a big impact on someone else’s life. Katie Stubbings was just fourand-a-half when she sat down for her very first hair cut, which is a bit later than most kids. She refused to have it cut until her locks had grown all the way past her waist – and long enough to donate to Angel Hair For Kids, a nonprofit organization that makes and distributes wigs to children who have lost their hair to illness. She’d been inspired to donate her hair by her late aunt Val, who ultimately lost her battle with the disease before Katie was even born. That first haircut was three years

ago, and she’s been growing it out ever since. Finally, last week, almost to the day, Katie, now aged 7-and-ahalf, went back to the salon. And, just like the first time, she’s donating her hair. It took stylist Karen Pehlke of Karen’s Korner salon about an hour to shear off a lengthy pony tail – reputed to be 14 inches long and glittering with golden, sun-kissed highlights – and set Katie up with a brand-new ‘do. Katie’s parents, Tammy and Ryan, couldn’t be more proud of their little girl. “Whenever I get a bit teary, Katie says, ‘It’s just hair. It will grow back,’” Tammy told The Reporter. “This foundation really fits Katie’s reason for donating because she keeps telling us that she wants other

Robin appointed to Harness BC A new face is taking the reins at Harness Racing B.C. Carla Robin has been appointed executive director, the association’s board of directors has announced.

Its headquarters are located on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, next to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, home to live harness racing. Robin brings a wealth of experience in the equine sector to her new position, from managing provincial and international events, to working with municipal and provincial governments to promote the equine industry, the announcement read.

kids to be happy,” she said. “So, we are equally happy and supportive of her decision.” Even Katie’s twin brother, Evan, had to admit he was impressed, telling mom on the ride home, “He thinks Katie is cute and he’s proud of her too,” according to Tammy, who works as a vice-principal at Mary Jane Shannon Elementary School. Both children attend Adams Road Elementary School. Angel Hair for Kids, a program of A Child’s Voice Foundation, provides wigs for financially disadvantaged children in Canada who have lost their hair due to medial conditions or treatments, from cancer to alopecia, or burns. – Visit www.acvf.ca/index.php/our-programs/angel-hair-for-kids

Making progress on poverty VICTORIA – The B.C. government has made its most significant moves in decades to address the needs of some of the province’s poorest people. The largest financial commitment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the welfare trap. There are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provincial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women. Even if they could find an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their income assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children. That is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse government policies to have survived into our supposedly enlightened modern era. The new program takes effect in September. It will not only continue income assistance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it promises to cover their child care and transportation costs for an approved training program of up to one year. Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year after training, to allow a transition to employment. Approved training means training for jobs that are identified as in demand, requiring high school and occupation-specific training that can be completed in a year or less. They

Retirees like us survive through cautious spending

Unemployed? Live in Cloverdale?

We offer FREE Employment Services:

We’re not ‘wealthy’ by any means and appreciate any breaks I find the March 12 article, “Cities urged to end seniors discounts,” quoting Harry Kitchen, municipal finance expert, absolutely inane. My husband and I certainly do not fit Mr. Kitchen’s parameters of “wealthy retirees” by any means and appreciate any breaks we are able to glean from the government. Although we are not destitute, we have worked very hard for many years to fit into a category of surviving day-to-day by spending cautiously. Sadly, the powers that be give us breaks with one hand and snatch them away bullet-quick with the other. For example, seniors ferry rates were free Monday to Thursday for a short time. When that

proved to be popular, they thought, “Let’s stick it to the old folks again,” and now we get to pay half price, which will be even more now, as B.C. Ferries have upped their rates, yet again. I believe we have earned the right to as many concessions as possible from the government and, oh, by the way, our children have been out of the school system for almost 25 years now but we are still paying annual school taxes. What can the municipal finance expert do about that? B.J. Brown Cloverdale

To the editor; Enough! The gridlock and congestion are from mostly cars from south of the Fraser River and east to the Valley. There was a promise 25 years ago to attack this issue. The bill was already paid by the taxpayers (gas taxes and other taxes) but nothing was done. Now they promise... in 12 years this will be addressed. Pay tolls, more gas taxes and a congestion tax that will never be enough because Vancouver city gets all the money for their infrastructure. That is pure B.S. I’m sorry, but an LRT is street level. It was never good enough for Vancouver and north of the Fraser and it is not rapid transit (so stop saying it is). Twelve years will not solve the congestion issues. Everything they are trying to sell is lies. I have lived south of the Fraser River for 27 years and have paid for rapid transit to Langley already. Where is it? Oh yeah. Vancouver has all the infrastructure and is getting more with the Broadway Line: Rapid transit to UBC. That’s not an LRT, which are proposing now for Surrey and Langley...in 12 years. It’s already 25 years too late! I’m voting no.

Optimists aim to unlock youth potential Steering committee reaches out to ‘champions’ in the Cloverdale community to sponsor service projects for kids To the editor; As service organization clubs and membership appear to be in decline worldwide, the Surrey Langley area is no different. But what if another organization wanted to assist in reversing this trend? Member clubs of the Optimist International organization, formed in 1919, are known to partner with their fellow service groups in their community. The

To the editor

Optimists are 72,000 strong with 2,600 member clubs. A small core group of Optimists have been quietly poring over input on “Needs Assessment” sheets that were given to prospective members of a new Optimist Club forming

in Cloverdale. To start, they have identified needs for Youth at Risk; Feed the Homeless and Youth Sport Development. Without going into detail, there are some service opportunities here that seem to be being partially met by the Cloverdale BIA and the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce. Is this really where our BIA and CoC members should be investing their efforts?

What if these two business interests were to turn the community service tasks over to the local community service clubs? What about partnerships among the services such as the Legion, Lions, Rotary, Knights of Columbus and the Optimists, for example? While the business of tourism is well served by the Cloverdale Rodeo, what about the Christmas Parade, the bicycle fair and the Hal-

loween party? These are children’s and special events put on to serve our community and not to expand business or tourism. I believe that Surrey and Langley Tourism organizations are doing an excellent job commercially but what about the special needs of the youngsters in our community?

Transit forum From page one

“Of those, 350,000 will be coming to Surrey,” Bellefontaine said, adding the city is predicting another 25,000 new jobs. “For that to happen in a responsible way, a sustainable way, it’s important we have a transportation system in place to allow that to happen,” he said. Light rail is the “big ticket item” on the transit network upgrade for Surrey, vastly reducing travel times between town centres. Delivery of LRT on the 104 Ave./King George Highway (or L-Line) would be in seven years, but the Fraser Highway line would be completed in 12 years, prompting one audience member to criticize the plan as “short sighted.” Jeff Richards said “all the new residential growth is in South Surrey and Cloverdale – areas that he said won’t see improvements for eight to 12 years. “My feeling on this, is it’s not a well thought-out plan,” he said. “I don’t think I’m going to vote yes.” The forum was a joint presentation of the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce and the Surrey Board of Trade. Both organizations support the proposed congestion tax. Cloverdale Chamber president John Gibeau said the tax is an “unobtrusive way to finance the transit expansion,” he said. Capital projects would include a new Pattullo Bridge and improvements to arterial roadways that are jointly paid for by TransLink and Surrey, including 64 Avenue, which is a high priority. The plan assumes seniors levels of government would contribute two-thirds of the costs for capital projects. “Why on earth, at this stage of the game, is that not front and centre?” wondered Allen Aubert. “It’s very unsatisfactory from a business perspective.” Not sure how he will vote, Aubert admitted the transit expansion and transportation improvements must go ahead. “I am still totally in favour of doing this,” he said. “It would be crazy not to.”

In interviews, he describes himself as ‘Super fan’ who’s studied the show. His strategy is to initially play it nice with the other house guests in order to gain their trust. “Really though, I’m probably the biggest threat in the house and the person everyone should worry about. I’m wearing a McLovin’ costume but I’m actually Frank Underwood from House of Cards,” he says in his Big Brother 3 bio. The third season airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays on Global at 8 p.m.

wellness Gelling up your joints By Christine Cheng, R.Ph and Frederick Cheng, R.Ph.

CHRISTINE CHENG

FRED CHENG

Why is it that as we age, our joints become annoyingly “creaky”? Part of it is that our joints are dynamic, ever-changing structures; new tissues are synthesized while at the same time, older tissues are degraded. As we age, the balance of building up and breaking down goes in favour of breaking down and our bodies are not able to “fix” damaged tissues as readily. In the case of our joints, 1) cartilage may be damaged with wear and tear over the years, and 2) the synovial fluid, which cushions the joint, is not as viscous and lubricating as it used to be. Both of these can result in the creakiness or decreased range of motion in our joints. We need ways to maintain the “jelly” in our joints. To provide the body with the building blocks to repair the cartilage, look for a supplement that has glucosamine, chondroitin, or a combination of these and other glycosaminoglycans (or “GAG’s”). Keeping the cartilage healthy is important because cartilage found between articulating joints (e.g., knee, fingers, wrists) acts as shock absorbers as well as protect the bones of the joint from touching each other. It is important for the bones not to make direct contact with each other because nervous tissue is found in bones and not cartilage. Thus as the cartilage wears down and the bone is exposed, the nerves can

be triggered resulting in the sensation of pain. Some people may find benefit from a “simple” supplement consisting only of glucosamine or chondroitin. For others, a food-source of these and other connective tissue components (i.e., glycosaminoglycans) such as the Pernaliculus (New Zealand Green-lipped) SEA MUSSEL will be more effective. In our practice, we have found that MAORI MIRACLE with its blend of pernaliculus, cetyl myristoleate, collagen type II, white willow bark and hyaluronic acid is the most effective as it targets cartilage repair, pain reduction, and replenishing of the joint fluid. To help replenish the synovial fluid (or “jelly”), look for a supplement that contains hyaluronic acid (HA). The synovial or joint fluid acts as a lubricant thus reducing the friction between the articulating surfaces of each joint. This results in smoother movement in the joint and a reduced chance of feeling pain. HA is a moisture-loving molecule found in the joint fluid, skin, aqueous humor of the eye and cartilage. It can bind moisture thus contributing to its lubricating function in the body. Most people may have heard about the costly HA injections that are available by prescription and performed by a doctor. However, we have had many patients report a benefit for their creaky joints from oral supplementation of HA. We have had good experience with AOR’s HYALURONIC ACID, LYSINE & VITAMIN C. This combination helps in the development and maintenance of bones and cartilage, as well as aid in collagen and connective tissue formation. HA is also found

in the EXTRA STRENGTH version of RECOVERY. As mentioned in our other articles, fish and krill oil supplements that provide a source of omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial to those suffering from osteoarthritis as they reduce inflammation and pain. They can also contribute to the general health of the joint tissues. Always look for a reputable brand that makes purity a top priority. We feel comfortable recommending OMEGAGENICS EPA-DHA 720 by Metagenics and ASTA-X-KRILL by Biomed. If you are looking to boost your brain health as well, consider TOCOX-KRILL by Biomed. Keeping your joints healthy requires maintenance of a healthy diet and appropriate level of physical activity. For many, you’ll also be surprised at how the appropriate supplements can boost the “jelly” in your joints and drastically improve joint comfort. Always check with a healthcare practitioner who is familiar with natural health products to ensure their safe and proper use. Attend one of our in-store Arthritis Seminars (Spring and Fall each year) for a much more comprehensive look at supplements benefiting your joints and wellbeing.

Referendum Questions: Will mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan cut congestion? Yes forces claim the 10-year plan of proposed upgrades will â&#x20AC;&#x153;cut congestionâ&#x20AC;? and the document itself says drivers will â&#x20AC;&#x153;spend less time stuck in traffic.â&#x20AC;? The plan projects round-trip time savings once the projects are complete of 15 to 20 minutes per day for drivers on some routes, such as Langley to Metrotown or the North Shore to Tsawwassen, and 20 to 30 minutes for transit commuters. But rarely do Yes campaigners make it clear that improvement is not compared to current conditions, but to the congestion that will exist 10 years from now if the proposed projects donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t proceed and after more population growth. So will drivers face less congestion than they do today if they vote Yes? Urban planner Brent Toderian says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safer to say the plan will prevent much worse congestion in the future without the upgrades than to claim it will cut road congestion below current levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cut congestion it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean our roads are going to be 20 per cent more empty,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it means is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to move a lot more people in our region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the benefit of our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in every way we can think of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without being trapped by congestion and gridlock.â&#x20AC;? The reality is any room freed up on the roads â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â whether it comes from building new lanes or by some drivers switching to transit as that alternative improves â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â is expected to fill back up and revert to the same level of congestion, a phenomenon called induced demand in planning circles. But Toderian said while road congestion

might not change noticeably from the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investments, boosting the transit systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity so it can carry more people will be crucial because of continued population growth, which is forecast to add a million residents over 30 years. Since Metro Vancouver keeps adding residents â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â and there is no way to stop them from coming â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â it needs to ensure a growing proportion of us move by transit, while the number driving remains about the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suddenly make the roads empty,â&#x20AC;? Toderian said of the plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But building more options prevents horrible congestion, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in other places where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irrational to be in your car but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other option.â&#x20AC;? He points to cities in China where people could walk faster than the crawling vehicles but nobody does because the poor air quality makes it too dangerous. Punching new lanes of road through existing neighbourhoods to instead try to make more room for cars would be incredibly expensive, wasteful and damaging, Toderian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you build more capacity into transit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving people with a lot less public money and a lot less space,â&#x20AC;? he said. More people and cars doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just mean more time lost getting from point A to B in slow traffic, but also more delays looking for parking in increasingly full lots and residential streets. The space required just to park the forecast 600,000 additional vehicles under a do-nothing scenario is estimated to occupy 22 square kilometres, equivalent to one quarter of Burnaby.

Other trends are also important, particularly the densification of the region along transit friendly smart-growth corridors that developers now prefer. The plan projects that even without the new investments, the average Metro resident will drive 10 per cent fewer kilometres per year by 2045 than they do today. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because over time more people will be in a position to walk, bike or take transit for more trips, or will have chosen to live closer to where they work. The planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed upgrades would only cut per capita kilome-

tres driven by another four per cent. What really makes the difference in the mayorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long-range plan out to 2045 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â delivering a further 12 per cent cut â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â is an assumption that road pricing will be imposed. Apart from economic collapse, Toderian says international experience shows nothing can truly cut congestion other than some form of road user fees. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borne out by the free flowing conditions on the Port Mann and Golden Ears toll bridges, compared to other congested free crossings like the Pattullo Bridge.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen is the only things that actually drop congestion are pricing mechanisms â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â toll roads.â&#x20AC;?

Buying or selling Real Estate?

While an actual cut in current road congestion is doubtful, much more bus service should go far to meet demand and reduce overcrowding and delays. The plan predicts the bus system pass-ups that now plague the busiest routes would be virtually eliminated. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeff Nagel

Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

Variable speed limits are coming to some highways the ministry’s traffic-management centre in Coquitlam to provide a variable maximum speed for motorists during snow or heavy rains, for example. “The 120-km/h speed limit in the case of the Coquihalla might not be appropriate based on a big dump of snow,” Stone said. “In a matter of minutes, we’ll be able to dial that speed limit down.” The project will cost about $24 million for all three locations. Each section is about 10 to 12 kilometres in length. Stone said the technology is used in other jurisdictions, particularly in Europe. “It’s proven to reduce collisions and save lives,” he said.

Wildlife Awareness Month in April is fast approaching and the BC SPCA would like to do a little trash talking. Whether they eat it, get entangled in it or are poisoned by it, wild animals are injured or killed by garbage every single day. With spring (and spring cleaning) upon us, now is the perfect time to reflect on the impact our trash has on wildlife and what we can do to help.

Jars and bottles can also become death traps for unsuspecting animals who try to get at the food scraps inside. Once trapped, animals struggle to remove the item but

Out in the water items like sixpack rings and discarded fishing line can entangle birds, fish, turtles and other wildlife, causing death by strangulation or drowning. These items can also wrap tightly and painfully around animals, cutting into wings and legs and preventing them from feeding or moving properly. Animals can develop fatal infections, lose limbs or starve. The good news is that we can all make a difference.

The SPCA suggests taking these simple actions: • Recycle as many plastic products as you can. • Buy things with less packaging. • Cut all six-pack rings so animals can’t be caught in them. • Avoid products that come in plastics you cannot reuse or recycle. • Bring your own cloth bags when you go to the grocery store. • Ask your local grocery store to promote cloth bags. • Pack your lunch in a reusable lunch bag with reusable containers. • Use refillable water bottles instead of buying bottled water.

Some people just don’t see the harm in littering or not recycling, but the truth is that, in addition to being bad for the environment, even a single piece of litter can be very dangerous to wild animals. And not all littering is intentional. Garbage can easily be spilled when the truck comes around on pick-up day, or animals such as crows, raccoons and skunks can get into a trash bag and spread garbage around as they forage for food. Trash on the ground harms birds and land animals, but can also wash into storm drains and eventually end up in streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, where it causes further injury to aquatic animals. Items such as cigarette butts, plastic caps and lids, and plastic bags are choking hazards. Should an animal mistake a plastic cap for food and manage to swallow it, the danger isn’t over – these items can cause life-threatening blockages of the animal’s digestive system. Plastic items can also accumulate in the stomach, preventing the animal from eating real food. Eventually they die with stomachs full of plastic.
