Walking for Cloverdale
By Jennifer LangHosts of the Cloverdale Community
Kitchen urge supporters to join the upcoming Coldest Night of the Year campaign.
It’s part of a national campaign tak-ing place on the last Saturday in Febru-ary – on average, the coldest night of the year in Canada – to raise money and awareness for local charities assist-ing homeless people.
More than 60 charities organized walks in their neighbourhoods last year, including the Cloverdale Com-munity Kitchen. In Cloverdale, 300 walkers raised $64,000, a feat that coin-cided with the kitchen’s offi cial launch.
Th e commercial-grade kitchen – constructed at Pacifi c Community Church aft er an ambitious fundraising campaign – is home to three existing programs assisting Cloverdale’s less
fortunate. Pacifi c Community Church runs the Monday night cafe, while Clo-verdale Christian Fellowship puts on a Wednesday night meal. And on Th urs-days at noon, a hot lunch is served up by members of the Cloverdale Presby-terian Church.
Th is year’s walk-a-thon goal is to raise $70,000.
“It’s a huge jump,” says Jim Heuving, executive pastor and event planner for the Coldest Night of the Year walk. He also leads the Cloverdale Community Kitchen team, which is in the process of hiring a kitchen director to oversee existing programs and liaise with local agencies and groups.
“We hope to bring in a full-time coordinator. Someone to really take the kitchen to the next level,” Heuving said. “We want to push as far as we can

Former fi re chief championed city’s heritageBy Jennifer LangAl Cleaver, a former fi re
chief of Surrey who champi-oned the city’s history and heri-tage, passed away last Th ursday morning at Surrey Memorial Hospital.
He was 88.Th at aft ernoon, the Surrey
Fire Fighters Association an-nounced the passing of the 2010 Surrey Civic Treasure “with deepest regrets and heavy hearts.”
“Al will be sorely missed,” Sur-rey mayor Linda Hepner said, via Twitter.
Former NDP MP Penny Prid-dy called him a leader, mentor, activist, and a warm and caring
man. “Will miss you.”Cleaver, who retired as Surrey
Fire Chief in 1986 aft er serving 28 years, was also the Surrey Fire Service’s fi rst training of-fi cer.
In retirement, he continued to embody community service and volunteerism, earning recogni-tion as a Surrey Civic Treasure in 2010.
In a City of Surrey video of Cleaver fi lmed around the time he received the award, Cleaver said, “Believe me folks, volun-teering is good for the soul.”
His nomination was put for-ward by the Friends of the Sur-rey Museum and Archives So-ciety, Surrey Heritage Advisory
Commission, Surrey Historical Society and Surrey Professional Fire Fighters Pioneer Associa-tion.
Cleaver founded the Friends of the Surrey Museum Soci-ety, which raised more than $1 million for the Surrey Museum capital campaign.
Aft er the new museum in Cloverdale opened, Cleaver continued to lobby for phase II – a commitment he stuck with until his dying day.
Th e original project was scaled back on the understand-ing a second phase would follow within 10 years.

But in 2011, the society, frus-trated with delays, asked the city to return more than $200,000 plus interest from a $450,000 re-serve fund.
With the money, Cleaver and the Friends Society launched an endowment and a sponsorship program off ering free admission to the museum.
Th e week before, Cleaver seemed brightened by some promising news from City Hall
on phase two from fellow Friends of the Surrey Museum, the soci-ety’s vice-chair Ursula Maxwell-Lewis told the Reporter. He had been too ill to attend the meeting in person.
Cleaver was a past president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhi-bition Association, had chaired the Surrey Heritage Advisory Committee and the Heritage Services Community Advisory Board, and served on the Surrey Tourism Association.
He hosted heritage week bus
tours, worked on heritage com-missions, and helped the Surrey Professional Pioneer Fire Fight-ers Society raise money for a fi re fi ghters’ history gallery in the Surrey Museum.
Al Cleaver Park in North Sur-rey is named aft er him.
In early November, he was pic-tured on the hustings support-ing another Surrey Fire Service alumnus – city council candidate Mike Starchuk, who won his seat.
A memorial service is planned for Monday, Jan. 28.
Phase two of the Surrey Museum remained a focusFrom page one
By Jeff NagelA staff -only memo is warning of “unprecedented
site congestion” at Surrey Memorial Hospital.Th e Jan. 16 site alert calls it an “all hands on deck”
situation as the hospital grapples with multiple in-fection outbreaks, including c. diffi cile, infl uenza and other respiratory conditions.
SMH is experiencing “the highest volumes ever of patients in Emergency needing admission with-out assigned beds,” it says.
Fraser Health public aff airs director Ken Dono-hue said the worst day came Jan. 11 when about 470 patients came to emergency compared to the high 300s.
Donohue rejected suggestions that staff levels at the hospital are inadequate.
“What we’re seeing are high patient numbers,” he said. “Th e acuity or the seriousness of the illness of many patients is a bit higher than normal and that means patients are requiring more care than nor-mal.”
He said there are high levels of the fl u virus circu-lating in the community, with fl u outbreaks in mul-tiple residential care homes, and that’s one trigger causing higher than normal congestion.
Donohue said extra staff have been brought on line as required.
One of the key challenges has been getting pa-tients discharged from hospital.
“Everybody in the hospital needs to work togeth-er to ensure patient fl ow is working,” Donohue said. “If patients no longer need hospital care we need to do everything we can to ensure they transition to home or community care or residential care.”
Th e memo says managers and directors are help-ing fi nd solutions and an operations command cen-tre has been set up to pursue new strategies.
Donohue said residents can help by calling 811 to speak to a nurse before going to emergency in cases involving less serious illness to see if there are other options besides hospital.
It’s not unusual for a hospital to be facing various infections, particularly during fl u season.
Donohue said the c. diffi cile outbreak in one med-ical unit is being countered with restricted transfer protocols and enhanced cleaning and infection control procedures.
An outbreak is declared any time there are three or more cases in a unit.
C. diffi cile infects the intestines and can cause illnesses ranging from diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever and colitis and in some cases, result in death.
According to a Fraser Health’s report card for Surrey Memorial, the hospital was admitted only 34 per cent of incoming ER patients within 10 hours in 2014, well off a provincial government-set target of 55 per cent.
SMH was notorious for congestion for years, leading to the construction of both the Jim Patt-tison Outpatient Hospital and a new $512-million ER and critical care tower.
Th e new larger ER opened in October 2013 but didn’t immediately improve congestion as much as expected, in part because it’s believed more patients who avoided the hospital in the past were now mak-ing it their fi rst choice over other nearby hospitals.

Alert issued as SMH patient volume soars
to get this person going.”Th e kitchen was completed a
year ago, and now it’s time for someone to expand programs and the facility’s reach into the com-munity.
With a year’s operation under their belt, the team has a handle on what the operating and main-tenance costs will be.
Th e kitchen is also certifi ed, so volunteers can deliver food in a food-safe environment.
Most importantly, however, the team has gained a deeper under-standing of the need in the com-munity, with growing numbers turning out for hot meals. Th ese are the near-to-homeless – people on fi xed incomes who are strug-gling to make ends meet.
“We’re seeing families come out
and seniors, and senior couples,” Heuving said.
“We’re just seeing the rising im-pact of an aging population. We’re seeing signifi cant need around there.”
Family meals and seniors meals are a couple of the ideas that he hopes will come to fruition down the road.
With proceeds from last year’s walk, the Cloverdale Community Kitchen hired a consultant who spoke with more than 80 people in the community along with over 20 organizations. Th ere were also three forums on the future direc-tion of the kitchen.
Heuving said the consensus was clear – the community wants the kitchen to have programs that will generate revenue – and provide employment.
“Th at would be long-term,”
Heuving stressed. “We think hiring somebody who can start working on that agenda with more vigour will be critical. It’s just one step at a time.”
Team captains and walkers are needed for the Feb. 21 event, along with 40 to 50 volunteers, plus sponsors.
Participants can sign up for a two-, fi ve- or 10-km walk through downtown Cloverdale. Registra-tion opens at 4 p.m., with the walk beginning at 5:15 p.m. for all dis-tances. Th e routes close at 8 p.m.

A better world too late for someIt was the 8 a.m. concert band class.I was in Grade 10, or maybe 11.We were a big group—perhaps 50 of us—
and as a bass player I was tucked in the back row with the percussion section. Th ere were three or four guys on things like snare drums, tympani, cymbals and the like.
I don’t remember the song, but Kevin had the cymbals. Th e song required one of those 1812 Overture-style fl ourishes—CRASH—and Kevin was having a hard time.
We’d attended elementary school together. His house was just a couple hundred yards from the school.
He was quirky. Not in his behaviour, but his English accent, big ears and a sharp nose set him apart.
He was so painfully shy you had to strain to hear him at times. I also remember him as a kind and gentle kid.
Th at day in band, all eyes were on him. Th e teacher stopped the song and told him
to give the cymbals a real crash.*clink*“Come on Kevin, a big crash!” the teacher
demanded.*clink*And so on, until the teacher lost his cool.“COME ON, KEVIN!”Th e room dissolved into laughter. At the
teacher’s frustration. But also at Kevin’s inex-plicable inability to express himself.
Isn’t smashing cymbals the controlled may-hem all teens love? For some reason, Kevin just couldn’t.
Years later, I wondered what life was like for Kevin at that time.
Did he have many friends? Didn’t seem to. Was he teased a lot? Did he fi t in some-
where?For an average kid the cymbal thing would
just be embarrassing. I wondered if for Kevin it was like another small stone placed upon a set of shoulders already carrying too many.
A couple years earlier, I hung with a group of friends. One guy was obese, and we teased him relentlessly. Silly names I won’t repeat.
He was tough and smart, though, and gave as good as he got. I liked him as well as any of my friends, but we exploited his vulnerability.
At my last high school reunion, we caught up. He apologized—to me!—for how we treated each other. Like I said, he gave as good as he got, but I was an a**hole to him. And he was outnumbered.
Maybe it’s the fact we’ve both grown up. We’re parents now, and consider some of our child-hood behaviour not just childish, but cruel.
But it’s a diff erent world now, too.
Th e hurtful teasing, the names, the bul-lying—it still happens in schools today, but those who challenge it, those who would stamp it out, are empowered.
Bullying prevention starts the day kids ar-rive at school. It’s part of the curriculum from kindergarten through Grade 12, in one form or another.
Th ere’s just so much talk and modelling around respectful behaviour and interaction. Next month is Pink Shirt Day, a day of soli-darity for all people against bullying of any form.
Children today are subject to pressures that
didn’t exist a generation or two ago. But in terms of bullying, they’re being
given the tools to spot it and are more em-powered to stop it. And there’s a more open dialogue about what is playful teasing, what is mean, and when and where it becomes bul-lying and cruelty.
As for Kevin, not long aft er we graduated from high school he tried to rob a Brinks truck in downtown Vancouver.
He pried open the door, slashed a Brinks guard in the face with a knife and tried to steal a handful of cash before fl eeing.
As he ran away, the other guard shot him in the buttocks. Kevin kept running, out by the corner of Howe and Dunsmuir streets.
Th e next gunshot hit him in the back of the head.
Th at was it for Kevin. His parents were shocked. He’d
never had a brush with the law before, they said.
But later, investigators found a bullet-proof vest, shotgun, steel-toed boots, ammunition, a small propane tank, fi recrack-ers and an explosive device in his bedroom.
Aft er all these years, Kevin was clearly pre-paring to express himself.
I have no idea what Kevin’s life was like. I have no clue the trajectory from that day
in band class, from high school, from any of it to that horrible end.
Are the Kevins of today having a better time?
I hope so.– Chris Bryan is editor of the New Westminster

To the editor;Re: (I think “Robertson, Hepner elected to lead mayors’
council,” CloverdaleReporter.com Jan. 16 or see page 9)What a ridiculous concept to raise the sales tax in all of
B.C. to fund transit initiates in Vancouver city. Th e TransLink tax grab has only benefi ted north of the
Fraser River for the last 25 years. Surrey, which has shouldered all the high costs of com-
muting and [the] extra TransLink gas tax, now made even higher with tolls on two bridges and a third on the way. Give us a break. Th ey are threatening “No Broadway cor-ridor rapid transit” if the referendum is not passed. I say, Who cares?!
Vancouver does. So what?I have lived in Surrey for over 25 years waiting for bro-
ken promises to be made good. And now it’s Vancouver again that gets the tax dole – with threats yet!
Who cares? Surrey has too many cars on the roads, too.
Surrey’s mayor, Linda Hepner, was made TransLink vice-chair, with a bigger TransLink salary no doubt (with a secret vote Friday Jan. 16, 2015) to get the “Yes” vote. [A] Stacked TransLink board.
What a joke! Surrey now has almost the same popula-tion as Vancouver city.
It’s time to make good on broken promises for our rapid transit corridor through to Langley (promised 25 years ago), before Vancouver gets a fi ft h rapid transit line north of the Fraser River on all of B.C.’s population this time!
Hey, why not just make the TransLink gas tax apply to all of B.C. Th at is fair too, isn’t it? Or [make] all the bridges in B.C. toll bridges?
VOTE NO!

Dealing with the rise in problem properties
Greetings Cloverdale/ Port Kells. I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year. Th e Cloverdale/Port Kells team looks forward to continued community engagement and we appreciate your feedback.
We here at the district offi ce have noted an in-crease in issues surrounding problem and unoccu-pied residences and properties.
A majority of us have noted a transition from sin-gle family homes on larger lots to a diff erent urban model. Th is is by no means an editorial comment, just our current reality.
During this transition period some of these tran-sitioning residences have been left vacant or rented out to tenants who are negatively impacting our community.
Th ese locations oft en require a multi-agency ap-proach which has been proven to be eff ective when we work collectively with our partners. Please in-dulge me as I attempt to provide you with an over-view from our policing perspective.
A problem residence/property may be described as a location that has negative issues linked directly to it. Th is may include criminal behavior coupled with neighbourhood disturbances.
Some contributing factors include absentee land-lords, poor selection of tenants, vacant homes and some occupants of these locations who permit criminal behavior.
Once a residence or location has surfaced as a problem property, we commence a strategy to ad-dress the impact of this location. Th is may be a hybrid of working with the property owner, land-lord or the occupants of the property and is oft en coupled with working with the City of Surrey, or a heightened police presence and enforcement.
A defi nite timeline is not oft en realistic in the successful conclusion of these locations.
In a large cross-section of these locations there are issues surrounding landlords and tenants.
Th e police do not have jurisdiction over landlord/tenant issues and will refer people to the Residential Tenancy Branch.
Hopefully, the following points covered in the Surrey RCMP Crime Prevention week 2014 publi-cation will be of assistance and act as a reminder:
Verify each prospective tenant’s name via pic-ture ID, check references and contact their previ-ous landlord. Ask probing questions such as, “Why are you moving?” and, “Who will be occupying the premises?”
Once you have decided on your preferred tenant, request that they obtain a criminal record check.
If they are the successful candidate, you may wish to consider reimbursing the amount of the criminal record check off their fi rst month’s rent.
It is suggested for anyone entering into a resi-dential tenancy agreement to visit the Residential Tenancy Branch website for guidance at www.rto.gov.bc.ca.

Strange sounds and visions haunt SLT’s comic mystery
By Jennifer LangTh e line “I’ll Be Back
Before Midnight,” can be taken as a promise – or a threat, depending on your point of view.
In the upcoming Surrey Little Th eatre production by that name, Shannon Pedder of Mission stars as Jan Sanderson, a woman recovering from a ner-vous breakdown.
She and her arche-ologist husband, Greg (Harry Pering), have rented a farm house in the country, in hopes of a restful retreat.
But stories of a terri-ble murder and a ghost stalking the night told by their eccentric host, George (Joe Tenta), only serve to fi re up Jan’s imagination.
Th ings only get worse when Greg’s sister, Laura, arrives.
It isn’t long before Jan, tormented by strange sounds and visions, fi nds herself at the brink of another breakdown.
Described as a theat-rical roller coaster ride with plenty of things that go bump in the night, I’ll Be Back Be-fore Midnight combines comedy and mystery in a horrifyingly twisted tale.
Th e cast spans the Fraser River, with actors coming from Mission, Langely, and Surrey.
Directed by Rita Price, and written by Peter Colley, the comedy-thriller is one of Canada’s most produced.
It runs Jan. 29 to Feb. 21 at Surrey Little Th e-atre, and is presented Th ursday to Saturday
nights at 8 p.m. Th ere are Sunday
matinees Feb. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. All tickets $15.
For reservations, call 604-576-8451, email reservations@surrey-littletheatre.com, or visit

is at 7027 184 Street, Surrey.

As was true in past budget planning cycles, district needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government grants. This means there are diffi cult choices to be made in order to achieve the balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best way.In coming weeks, the board will meet with employee groups and community stakeholders, including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details of the budget challenge and to obtain input. Other community members are welcome to submit ideas, questions and suggestions regarding board priorities, and potential budget reduction ideas by writing to:

Robertson, Hepner elected to lead mayors’ council
By Jeff NagelVancouver Mayor
Gregor Robertson unseated North Van-couver District Mayor Richard Walton to take the chair of the Trans-Link mayors’ council in a vote last Friday as regional politicians head into a challenging transit tax referendum campaign.
A second election saw Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner picked over Delta Mayor Lois Jackson for the mayors’ council’s vice-chair position.
Both Robertson and Hepner, as well as Walton, pledged to fi ght hard for a Yes outcome in the plebiscite to create a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax, dubbed the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund transit and trans-portation expansion.
Both mayors will also get seats on the Trans-Link board of direc-tors dedicated for the mayors council chair and vice-chair. Serving on the TransLink board brings more time com-mitments and roughly $50,000 a year in extra pay.
Robertson said he wanted the top job to ensure Vancouver had representation in TransLink decisions at the board level and to give the Yes campaign a high profi le in the region’s biggest city.
“I want to make sure we win this referen-dum,” Robertson said.
Hepner predicted a “very tough campaign” ahead, adding a Yes outcome is crucial to the region’s economy and livability. She promised to provide South of the Fraser representation and de-
liver Yes votes from the region.
Hepner last fall cam-paigned for mayor on a pledge to get a Surrey light rail network built by other means if the referendum failed, and she was pressed by re-porters on whether she still takes that position.
“I’ll deal with that (promise) if I have to,” Hepner said. “My focus right now is making sure we get a plan A, which is making sure this referendum passes.”
Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam, was nominated for vice-chair but declined, as did Walton.
Moore – who nomi-nated Hepner – said victory may ride heav-ily on the ability of the Surrey and Vancouver mayors, and their pow-erful election campaign machines, to get Yes votes from the region’s biggest cities.
“Th ere are large populations there and we need those mayors to play a predominant role in working at the mayors’ council and with their electorate to win this campaign.”
At Moore’s request, the mayors council made the chair and vice-chair elections a population-weighted vote.
Because Surrey and Vancouver have nearly half Metro’s population, the move meant Hep-ner’s and Robertson’s wins were guaranteed with Moore’s backing, even if every other mayor opposed them.
Jackson, the only mayor in the region to support the province’s requirement of a refer-endum on new transit taxes, was nominated by Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read, one of only three mayors who oppose the new tax.
Jackson voted in favour of the tax at the last mayors’ council meeting in December but in her pre-vote speech she stressed her ability to be a strong voice and highlighted concerns about goods movement in the region.
She had been at odds with several other may-ors over her support for the replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge.
Aft erwards, Jackson said she knew she had no chance of winning the position once it became clear Surrey and Vancouver were working together.
Jackson said she will defi nitely vote and campaign for Yes in the referendum, but said her council hasn’t yet taken a position.
Delta may also send out educational mate-rial to its voters, she said, but added that may go out along with tax notices, reducing costs to just photocopy-ing. “If it comes down to (No campaigner Jordan) Bateman hav-ing a problem with that
I’ll pay for it myself,” she said.
Th e mayors’ council intends to send out an information house-holder on their trans-portation plan before the ballots go out in mid-March.
