Paying it forward and ‘No’ to LRT Cadets grateful To the editor; In this season of giving, we were the grateful benefactors of some community donations for our 2277 Seaforth Highlanders Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps Langley annual recreation of the 1943 Ortona Dinner (“Cadets Dine on Scrounged Food,” Dec. 23).

Our cadets eat the same Christmas meal that Canadian soldiers ate during that Second World War battle in Italy.

DeLorme Food Services Inc. donated all the roast pork, Langley A&W owner Nick Nurancy donated all the root beer (which cadets got instead of the beer that the soldiers had!), and Ryan at Save-On Walnut Grove who donated potatoes, cauliflower, and oranges.

Royal Canadian Legion Cloverdale Branch 6 graciously allowed 2277 Corps to use their kitchen and the dining area for the annual Ortona Dinner. We had a great group of parents who spent all day preparing and cooking the dinner in the kitchen. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun to get to know each other a bit better. The officers

donated their time to serve the cadets, just like the officers did in 1943.

Our Parent Sponsoring Committee paid all this kindness forward by making arrangements with Willow Addictions to pick up all the leftovers, which they then served to those in need in Langley the next day.

A big thank you to everyone!

SkyTrain is best Now that funding is in sight, the City of Surrey should focus on SkyTrain extension from King George to Langley.

I simply don’t understand why the City of Surrey is insisting on LRT instead of SkyTrain extension to Langley and Newton.

LRT will increase congestion on

already congested streets. SkyTrain will encourage thousands of drivers to leave their cars.

That will increase fare revenue for TransLink.

SkyTrain saves travel time.

The value of time-savings and additional revenue is worth billions of dollars as the rapid transit systems last for a long time.

Thus SkyTrain system is much cheaper than LRT. The Paris and London underground systems are about 150 years old. Even Toronto’s subway is 60 years old.

By reducing the number of cars on the road, the SkyTrain will also help the environment.

All other cities in Metro have SkyTrain systems. Even the Broadway-UBC link is being proposed as a SkyTrain or subway line.

How bad at-grade LRT could be? Just watch the Destroyed in Seconds Houston Metro Rail video on YouTube. There were a record of 62 accidents in just one year.

Building LRT on already busy 104 Avenue between Surrey Centre and Guildford Centre will just be suicidal.

City of Surrey makes the ‘naughty list’ CFT says the city raised taxes – counter to election promises

Ferry deal BC Ferries and the BC Ferry and Marine Workers’ Union have ratified a five-year agreement that provides for wage increases of 8.55 per cent by its expiry in October 2020.

BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan described the wage and benefit provisions of the new contract as “fair and modest,” noting that the latest agree-

ment means the coastal ferry service will have gone 17 years without a labour dispute affecting its operations.

The agreement, ratified by members after it was endorsed by the union executive in October, provides average pay increases of 1.71 per cent per year. There are about 3,500 union members working for BC Ferries.

An Ideal Weight Loss

Christine Cheng, R.Ph., Fred Cheng, R.Ph. and Neil Englund

CHRISTINE CHENG

FRED CHENG

Weight loss can be easy. “Heard that before”, right? What do we expect from an ideal weight loss program? Fast, healthy results, an easy-to-follow protocol, not feeling tired or hungry while on the program, long-term weight maintenance, and cessation of chronic medications are a few things that one might hope for.

Those who have tried multiple weight loss programs, whether it be a commerciallyavailable program or one that they do on their own may think that it is impossible for all of these wishes to be met. However, they will see that the “IDEAL PROTEIN” (IP) Weight Loss Protocol can satisfy these demands, and more.

The IP Program is a medicallydesigned protocol and lifestyle education program that supports muscle mass, while promoting fat loss, thus greatly minimizing the risk of “metabolic syndrome” (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood glucose, and obesity). Through weekly one-onone coaching, lifestyle education and guidance, dieters gain an understanding of how food affects and is utilized by the body. Weekly Body Composition Analysis (BCA) readings are used as an objective

tool to guide the coach in helping develop a personalized approach to setting your weight loss goals.

The four phases of the program stabilize blood sugar levels while improving cholesterol levels and reducing blood pressure. The program starts with a partial meal replacement program that supplements the dieters’ cooking one healthy meal a day, and gradually replaces the meal replacements with balanced meals using whole foods only. The first phase lowers insulin production in the body allowing for dramatic weight loss and as the program moves through phases two and three, it gradually increases the level of insulin production until the body is stabilized. Phase four provides a year of support while the patient learns how to adapt their eating patterns and food choices to maintain their weight loss while eating fresh, whole foods only. Chronic medications for diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure are literally immediately reduced during Phase 1 with the help of your Cloverdale Pharmasave pharmacist and physician.

The IP Program is PREDICTABLE, MEASURABLE and REPEATABLE, as evidenced by thousands of successful patients in North America since its introduction over fifteen years ago.

Originally, the program was developed to allow competitive athletes to lose body fat without dropping any muscle mass. The program is only offered through

medical professionals and is overseen by our trained Cloverdale Pharmasave pharmacists, who are there throughout your entire IP journey.

Do your body a favour. Stop by Cloverdale Pharmasave to see a model of what 5lbs of fat looks like. Then, imagine how you would look if you weren’t carrying around even just that 5lbs. More importantly, imagine how much better you would feel. Monthly seminars are available in-store to get you started on Ideal Protein.

By Kevin Diakiw Unflatteringly, the City of Surrey has made the annual naughty list of the watchdog for B.C. taxpayers.

Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF), released the group’s naughty and nice list for 2015.

Topping the naughty list is the City of Surrey, which raised tax bills substantially this year – despite election promises to the contrary in 2014.

“Fresh off an election campaign where no incumbent mentioned a tax hike, council brought in a new $100 recreation levy, a 2.9-per-cent property tax increase and a 28-per-cent jump in secondary suite fees,” Bateman wrote in his reasoning for placing this city on the naughty list.

“Now Surrey is looking at keeping the ‘temporary’ one-per-cent road levy, another 2.9-per-cent property tax hike, a 3.9-per-cent increase in fees and levies, and a 10-per-cent jump in the recreation levy.”

Mayor Linda Hepner said it’s a bit unfair to place Surrey on such a list as the city has some of the low-

The Surrey School District has chosen April 18 as its second extra Professional Development day to review the new B.C. curriculum.

The provincial government has mandated school districts schedule two additional pro-d days into this year to familiarize school staff on the curriculum.

Surrey held its first extra day on Nov. 12.

Normally the district has six professional development days in the year, not eight.

by Oct. 1, a gain of less than one per cent from the same time last year.

The province’s population growth rate was down to 0.8 per cent by the third quarter of 2015, Central 1 Credit Union reports in its latest B.C. Economic Briefing.

Net international migration was the main reason for the slowdown, with 11,100 international arrivals during what is usually the highest period of the year for immigration gains.

Within Canada, interprovincial migration climbed to nearly 5,000 in the third quarter of 2015, as people returned home to a relatively buoyant B.C. economy from provinces hit by slumping oil prices, notably Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland.

While permanent international resident arrivals were slower, international tourism demand climbed to more than 400,000 people by October, due mainly to U.S. visitors taking advantage of a lower Canadian dollar.

works contract for the Site C dam on the Peace River, for an eight-year project expected to cost $1.75 billion and generate 8,000 person-years of employment.

The contract is with Peace River Hydro Partners, made up of Petrowest Corp. of Calgary, ACCIONA Infrastructure Canada, a division of a Spanish construction firm, and Samsung C&T Canada Ltd., a division of the Korean engineering and electronics company.

The contract covers construction of the earth-fill dam, two diversion tunnels and a concrete foundation for the generating station and spillways.

Site preparation work is underway for the third dam on the Peace River near Fort St. John, and a work camp capable of hosting up to 1,500 workers is under construction.

NDP leader John Horgan and B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger both denounced the lack of job guarantees for B.C. workers in the contract.

BC Hydro says three quarters of the workers currently on the site are from B.C.

Rival schools unite in a spirit of generosity

By Jennifer Lang Two high schools, one long-lasting rivalry, and a local charity that needs their help. The challenge? To see which school could collect the most donations of non-perishable food items and cash for Cloverdale’s less fortunate.

This year, let’s just say Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School’s student council co-presidents are good sports (they agreed to visit the winning school and pose for photos wearing Clayton Heights Secondary School gear) and the big winner is the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program.

Clayton Heights won this year’s challenge, raising $856 in cash and collecting 9,015 items, with Lord Tweedsmuir raising $1,900 in cash, and collecting 3,500 donations.

“We’re so proud of our schools, because the students and teachers really pulled together this year, and were able to give back to Cloverdale much more than previous years,”

council member Emily Markwart.

Both schools have been busy with other community-minded efforts; for example, in addition to Tweedsmuir’s food drive, the school’s Girl’s Leadership group raised 2,400 in donated items for homeless shelter care packages.

said Hannah Hollander, co-student council president at LTS. “It’s great to see the positive impact we can have on our local community.”

Clayton Heights’ Project Equal club led the food drive at that school, where, according to Sarah Daintrey, teacher sponsor, the

challenge with Lord Tweedsmuir has been running for five years.

“They came through this year, they really did,” added executive

Not to be outdone, in November, LTS’s Power of One leadership group for boys in grades 9-12 served at a soup kitchen in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

At Harbour Light Soup Kitchen, they served food, washed dishes, collected plates, and scraped dishes.

“It was a fast-paced, hour and a half shift serving over 380 people,” said Alan Wu, student council co-president and Power of One member. “We got to see the streets of the Eastside, and talk to some of the people there,” he said. “It sure was an eye-opener and makes you look at life in a different perspective.”

Homegrown fundraiser helps homeless teens

By Jennifer Lang Cloverdale’s Kristin McMahon is only 11, but she can imagine how difficult life would be if she was a former foster child facing life as an adult.

She’d been hearing about recent headlines involving youth aging out of foster care – the system considers them adults at 19, when they graduate from the child welfare system, although it’s a difficult time of transition for youth lacking stable parental and family

supports.

“As we looked into this more, she said to me, ‘Imagine if I was 18 and you kicked me out? What would I do?

Where would I go?

How would I eat?” her mother Sonja Warwick-McMahon recalls her asking.

For three years now, the McMahons have hosted an annual fundraiser open house, with Kristin choosing the charity.

This year, Kristin chose Covenant House, an organization with

• Tinsel is Trouble: Having a Christmas tree and pets can be troublesome.

Ensure the tree is well-secured and try to place the decorations above paw height. Using string to hang decorations instead of hooks helps, as hooks can be easily dislodged. If possible, use nonbreakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair – cats and dogs will ingest both, which can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets, especially chewing puppies and exploring kittens. If you add chemicals to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to help it last longer, keep in mind those chemicals are toxic to animals and keep the reservoir covered.

• Toy Watch: Avoid purchasing pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones.

Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

Have a safe, healthy holiday season with your furry family members At this time of year, there are plenty of festive decorations and seasonal treats in B.C. homes. Yet the holidays can be hazardous for your pets. The BC SPCA offers these tips to help keep your furry companions safe this holiday season.

• Bones are Bad: Avoid giving bones to your dogs or cats, particularly turkey bones. Poultry bones easily splinter and can cause serious injury, while bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations.

• Thoughtful Treats: Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to animals. Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cats and dogs, though not harmful to humans. The best thing you can do for your pet over the holidays is to keep them on their regular diet.

Look for healthy animal treats instead of giving your animal companions cookies, rich snacks or sweets meant for people.

• Poisonous Plants: 7254169 Many popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals including mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose.

Remember to keep these plants out of reach of pets – especially birds. Poinsettias are not poisonous to pets or people. This has been a long-standing rumour perpetuated for decades. Some pets may have a sensitivity to the

Giants looking good at mid-season

By Rick Kupchuk The first half of the 72-game regular season began well and ended well for the Vancouver Giants.

The first three weeks of the regular season saw the Giants get off to a 4-3-2 (win-loss-overtime loss) start to the season, earning points at a rate which would ensure the Western Hockey League team would qualify for the playoffs.

The three weeks just prior to the holiday break were even better, as they went 7-3-1.

It was a disastrous seven-week stretch from mid-October to late November, which saw the team go 1-13-2, that has put the Giants in the hole they will need to climb out of over the final half of the season.

Vancouver is 12-19-5 after 36 games, the halfway point of the regular season. They are last in Western Conference standings, but need to overtake just two rivals in order to climb into the top eight and participate in the playoffs. And if they can maintain their level of play over the first three weeks of December, they should be able to reach the postseason.

A much-improved defensive record is behind much of their success over the past 11 games. After giving up an average of 4.08 goals against per game in the first 25 games of the season, they have lowered that figure to 2.28 over the next 11.

Goaltender David Tendeck, selected in the sixth round of the 2014 draft, will be playing with the Vancouver Giants of the BC Hockey Major Midget League.

Other Giants prospects currently on teams from the BC league playing in Calgary are forwards Haydn Delorme (2015 ninth round pick) for-

CONTRIBUTED

Goaltender Ryan Kubic is one of the reasons for the Giants’ improved defence record.

Goaltender Ryan Kubic is one of the reasons why. The 17-yearold appeared in just 10 of Vancouver’s first 25 games of the season, losing all eight decisions (0-7-1).

In the past 11 games, he’s started all 11, going 7-2-1. His goals against average has dropped from 2.28 over the first two months of the season to 1.85 during the recent streak. A save percentage of .878 has improved considerably, as Kubic posted a .937 mark, with three shutouts, over the most recent three weeks.

Matt Barberis has been contributing offensively all season, but his defensive numbers have improved considerably in the past month. The White Rock native is quietly putting together a solid rookie season, leading all Giants defencemen in scoring with five goals and 13 assists.

But while he was a a-13 through the first 25 games of the season,

he’s been a plus-4 in the past 11.

Veteran Chase Lang, 19, and rookie Tyler Benson have stepped up their offensive production during the recent run. Lang, who had three goals in 14 games with the Giants following his trade to Vancouver from Calgary in late October, has eight in his past 11.

Benson, a 17-yearold projected to be a potential first round pick in next sumer’s National Hockey League Entry Draft, has four goals and 12 assists in the recent run, after totaling just nine appoints in the previous 15 games.

The Giants will likely need to play .500 hock-

ey over the final half of the season to reach the playoffs. If they play up to the standard set in December, they will achieve that goal.

Blue Lines The Giants will have nine prospects playing in the Mac’s Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary this week. The tournament, which began Saturday (Dec. 26) and runs through to Friday (Jan. 1).

Three prospects are with the Yorkton Maulers. They include defenceman Kaleb Bulych, a 2015 second round draft pick, and forwards Kaeden Taphorn (2015 third round selection) and Tristyn DeRoose.

ward Haydn Delorme of the Vancouver Chiefs and James Malm (2014 second round pick) of the Valley West Hawks.

Jordan Biro was picked up as an affiliate player by the Sherwood Park Kings of the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League. The forward was listed by the Giants this past summer.

Alex Kannok-Keipert a defenceman, will play for the Regina Pat Canadians. He was a fourth round pick in 2014.

Defenceman Austin King-Cunningham, listed this past fall, will play for the Moose Jaw Generals.
