‘It’s a little sad to see it go’

JENNIFER LANG PHOTODewar Pacifi c Demolition company chomped a quarter of the way through the former Safeway location Tuesday.

By Jennifer LangA large excavator began tearing down

the Cloverdale Mall Tuesday, its mighty jaw crunching into wooden beams and boards, sending clouds of sawdust and bits of debris into the air.

Th ey started with the entranceway of the former anchor store, Safeway. Th e crisp, dusty scent of freshly-milled lum-ber hung in the air.

“It’s a little sad to see it go, isn’t it?” remarked a woman who briefl y stopped to watch. “It’s a piece of Cloverdale his-tory,” she said, adding she still missed the Safeway and its staff .

Th e grocery closed in the mid-2000s, precipitating the mall’s inevitable de-cline.

“When they took the liquor store out, that’s what killed it,” said another on-looker, who was surprised to learn the building was fi nally coming down.

Th e leaking, aging mall’s half-dozen tenants – ranging from an insurance company to a theatre troupe – were out at the end of October. Th e fi nal two ten-ants – a small Sikh temple and a soup kitchen run by local churches – left at the end of January, enabling demoli-

tion to begin in earnest. Crews have been removing drywall, asbestos and other materials while utility companies decommissioned power, gas and tele-phone lines in preparation.

Recyclables and waste materials are being diverted to the appropriate facili-ties as demolition proceeds.

“It’s probably going to take a week for the whole thing to come down,” mall manager Ken Woodward from Surrey Realty Services said.

Th e mall is being torn down to make way for a new development called Clo-verdale West Village, a mix of commer-cial and residential units.

Construction on the project’s fi rst phase is expected to get underway later this year.

Phase one will consist of a single wood-frame, fi ve-storey building with 22,000 square feet of commercial space, an underground parking lot and 100 residential units on the southwest portion of the site.

Th e fi rst phase will include a new home for the Cloverdale Legion that’s about the same size as the current branch at 10,000 square feet.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOBlanche Vantol outside Martha Currie School last week.

Cloverdale claims coveted cupBy Jennifer LangIf Blanche Vantol always has a smile, it’s

because she loves what she does.She’s a school crossing guard, and her

enthusiasm exudes out of every pore.Twice a day, fi ve days a week, she cho-

reographs a complex ballet outside Ecole Martha Currie Elementary School as the nearly 600 students – along with parents and grandparents picking them up or dropping them off by car or foot – make their way across 184 Street.

“It’s really been a privilege to just do my bit. It just makes my day,” smiles Vantol, a former businesswoman who came out of retirement to volunteer as a crossing guard at the school two blocks from her 58A Av-enue home of 30 years.

During her fi rst shift in November 2008,

a surprised little preschooler told her, “You used to be a man!”

Th ey all know her now, and whether they call her Madame Blanc (to the French immersion students) or Mrs. Blanche, ev-eryone seems to adore her.

Th ey trust her, too.“Th e only reason I let my daughter walk

to school is because I know she’s safe,” says parent Jennifer Criddle, whose eight-year-old daughter attends Martha Currie.

Vantol greets many of her young charges by name – their adult caregivers, too – and everyone from the tiniest preschooler in a stroller to passing motorists who drive the route regularly receives one of her trade-mark smiles.

“I’m out there two hours a day, so there’s lots of time to get to know people,” she

says. “It really brings structure to my day.”In return there’s lots of hellos, gossip

and even hugs for this multitasking blonde– an enviable, but undeniable distraction.

Her goal is to keep cars and trucks fl ow-ing smoothly while allowing children tocross 184 Street safely.

Stationed at “the corner” at the cross-walk, her eagle eyes don’t miss a thing.“Drivers are pretty good when they seeme,” she says.

Much of her role is non-verbal, she says:“I use a lot of body language and hand sig-nals.”

Th e 15 minutes before and aft er school,“when everyone’s either coming or leav-ing,” can be intense.

Love it or hate it, tear-down begins on the Cloverdale Mall

Maple Leaf to close its local meat plant

By Kevin DiakiwAbout 155 employees at a Clo-

verdale meat plant have been given layoff notices, as Maple Leaf Foods Inc. announced its closure.

Th e company said Tuesday that it will close its prepared meat plant at 55B Avenue and 176 Street as of Sept. 30, 2011.

Th e facility produces a wide va-riety of prepared meat products, including ham, sliced meats, sau-sage and deli products, primarily for retail and food service cus-tomers in Western Canada.

Th e company will gradually wind down operations starting in May 2011. Production will be consolidated at Maple Leaf ’s prepared meats facilities in Sas-katoon, Manitoba and Ontario where there is available capacity, aft er completing some upgrades.

“Th e closure of the Surrey plant is an important step towards con-solidating our manufacturing at fewer, dedicated scale plants, re-sulting in reduced supply chain costs and better effi ciencies,” said Rick Young, executive vice-pres-ident, consumer foods. “While necessary, we regret the impact on our skilled and dedicated em-ployees. We will recognize their service and will support their transition to new employment.”

Th e company release said the closure will aff ect approximately 155 employees at the Surrey plant who will receive severance pack-ages that go beyond provincial labour requirements, as well as personal counselling and ongo-ing outplacement services and workshops.

Th ey will also be encouraged to seek employment at other Maple Leaf ’s facilities, including three

other facilities in British Colum-bia.

Th e company expects that closure costs, including sever-ance, decommissioning and asset write-downs, will amount to ap-proximately $12.1 million before tax, $4.6 million of which is cash expenses. Of the total closure costs, approximately $4 million will be recorded in the fi rst quar-ter of 2011 and the remainder when the facility is decommis-sioned in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. is head-quartered in Toronto, Canada and employs approximately 22,500 people at its operations across Canada and in the United States, United Kingdom and Asia. Th e company had sales of $5.2 billion in 2009.

It’s hip to be snipped!Did you know that in just

seven years one unspayed cat and her off spring can produce more than 450,000 cats?

For dogs, that number is 4,000 and one unspayed female rabbit and her off spring can produce 95 billion rabbits in that same period!

Tragically, many more animals are born in B.C. than there are homes for. Th e BC SPCA and other animal rescue organization shelters can fi nd homes for tens of thousands of these unwanted animals each year, but sadly many more are simply abandoned by their guardians and suff er a cruel death from starvation, disease, predation or injury.

Th e BC SPCA has declared February Spay and Neuter Awareness Month and is urging all pet guardians to have their pets sterilized if

they haven’t already done so. In addition to saving lives,

your pet will live a calmer and happier life. Here are just some of the benefi ts for your pet:

• Neutering generally reduces aggressive behaviours in pets. Neutered dogs are calmer and less likely to bite, attack or get into altercations at the dog park. Neutered cats don’t have the drive to mark and protect their territory and are less likely to spray or get into cat fi ghts;

• Female cats go in and out of heat every three weeks between January and November. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, spaying your cat will reduce her desire to escape to fi nd a mate, spraying or inappropriate elimination, howling and attracting unwanted male cats onto your property;

• Spaying or neutering your

pet reduces the likelihood of them developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers;

• Having your pet sterilized also provides an opportunity to have other important health procedures

performed, as necessary, such as an identifi cation tattoo or microchip or teeth cleaning. Spaying and neutering is done under a general anesthetic, so your pet won’t be in pain.

If cost is a concern for

you, check with your local SPCA. Th e SPCA provides assistance to low-income pet guardians where possible and many communities have low-cost spay/neuter funds administered through the

local government. For more information on spaying and neutering your pet visit spca.bc.ca.

A crown for her causes

By Jennifer LangShe’s overcome a fear of public

speaking, launched her own busi-ness, worked at a group home for developmentally disabled people, spent a month in Kenya, and paints.

And now Cloverdale’s Natalie Hilder, 22, is ready to add anoth-er achievement to her resumé– Miss B.C. 2011.

It’s not such a stretch. Langley’s Tara Teng, recently crowned Miss Canada, claimed the Miss BC 2010 title fi rst.

“I’m defi nitely not your typical pageant contestant,” she cheer-fully confesses.

Th e red-haired, green eyed beauty – blessed with a glowing

complexion – is taking a break from her studies at Trinity West-ern University this year.

Win or lose the July pageant, she plans to complete her degree in international politics.

Until then, she’s keeping busy. Really busy.

She created her own line of nat-ural skin care products, recently launching a fl edgling company called Viridis Naturals – Viridis is Latin for “green”, and she de-scribes the products as Earth and human-friendly.

She uses all natural ingredients to create moisturizers, lip balms and toners. “It’s actually all I use now. I don’t buy product from the store.”

She’s also organizing a chari-table hike up the Grouse Grind June 18, with the proceeds going towards microfi nance projects in the developing world.

“I’m kind of training for it be-cause I don’t want to lag behind if I’m leading it,” she says.

Her fi tness regimen consists of time in the gym for cardio and strength training combined with lots of walking. She also drinks three cups of green tea a day, and plenty of hot water with lemon.

Healthy living is at the centre of everything she does, as is her passion for human rights – es-pecially women’s and children’s rights. She volunteers at Ten

Distracted driving was implicated in one-third of all crashes in B.C. last year, despite new rules

Th e B.C. government has a major selling job to do to get dis-tracted drivers to put away their cellphones and stop fi ddling with their GPS devices and sound sys-tems while they’re driving.

Slapping people with $167 fi nes hasn’t seemed to make much of an impression. Since the ban on cellphones and other hand-held devices was instituted last February, 32,000 tickets have been issued, raising $5.2 million, and people are still dying because of distracted driving. In fact, ac-cording to the RCMP, distracted driving was a factor in a third of all crashes last year.

If people aren’t getting the message that distracted driving is dangerous, will pumping up the penalties make them sit up and take notice? Not necessarily. Peo-ple still drive without seatbelts even though the law has been around for more than 30 years and the fi nes are just as heft y. Tougher drunk driving laws have

made an impression but how long will it last?

Th e problem seems to be that once in their cars, people are oblivious to the dangers around them. Th eir car is their castle, their drivers’ seat is like a comfy recliner and they don’t like peo-ple telling them what to do with

their personal space.Like drunk drivers who think

they drive better while inebriat-ed, most drivers think they alone can multi-task while everyone else around them are losers. Th ey fail to understand that the brain simply cannot multi-task and driving while talking or texting is

the equivalent of driving drunk.Don’t agree? Try this test:

While driving to work, try to fi g-ure out a complicated math prob-lem at the same time. You’ll besurprised to see where you endup aft er you miss a turn in yournormal route.

Th e myth of multi-taskingneeds to be addressed and policeneed an ally to get their messageacross. One idea would be toengage cellphone manufactures,distributors and service provid-ers in a multi-year communica-tion campaign warning aboutthe dangers of distracted driv-ing. Th ese companies have mademillions promoting the idea ofanytime, anywhere communi-cations, why shouldn’t they usesome of those profi ts to promotesafety driving?

Will drivers give up their in-cartechnology? Probably not, but atleast they will know better.

– Diane Strandberg is a reporter withthe Tri-City News.

Pageant contestant focuses on human rightsTh ousand Villages, a fair-trade store featur-ing merchandise cre-ated by people all over the world.

Th e crown and the title don’t come with a cash reward. But she’s not concerned with that.

She’s focused on the opportunities the role of Miss BC would bring in terms of reaching peo-ple with the things she is passionate about.

It’s surprising to learn she had to overcome her fear of public speaking, a skill she’ll put to the test in July.

“If you spoke to any-one who went to school with me, they’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s the girl who never talks.’”

Talking isn’t a prob-lem for her anymore.

“I was tired of be-ing afraid. I wanted to change. Over the last year or two, I decided I need to be braver now.”

Pageant contestants will all have to perform in an opening dance number.

“Besides public speaking, dancing was another fear of mine,”

she reveals. Undaunted, she’s tak-

en up ballet classes in preparation. “I’m facing my fears.”

A modeling course helped. And in the sum-mer of 2008 she spent a month in Kenya as part of a work/study tour or-ganized by one of her university professors.

Th e medical facilities, clean water projects, or-phanages and schools they visited left a deep impression on her.

Th e experience was hopeful and uplift ing, leaving her with a deep-er appreciation for how capable Kenyans them-selves are.

“It really taught me to open my mind and not stereotype Africa,” she says. “We met people who were doing won-derful things and were so passionate. So much good can come out of it.”

When asked about the two summers she spent working with de-

velopmentally delayed adults, she breaks into a huge smile even as she recalls changing adult diapers and other duties that might not be every-one’s idea of great sum-mer job.

She says that’s when she really learned what

it meant to have com-passion for other people – until then she hadn’t really understood it in her heart.

“It’s made me much more passionate about human rights,” she adds.

In fact, her main rea-son for becoming a con-testant is the prospect of all the public engage-ments that would come her way along with the crown and the title.

“I really hope to just talk about the issues of human rights, micro-

“I was tired of being afraid. I wanted to change. I decided I needed to be braver now.”

fi nance and the status of women around the world.

“People don’t view women as people with status,” she says. “Wom-en all over the world are dealing with this,” she says, expressing dismay that in some countries

in North Africa the practice of female geni-tal mutilation persists and at the savage treat-ment of young girls who develop fi stulas because they were married and had children too early.

“Issues like that are really important to me,” she says.

Battling sexual slav-

ery and human traffi ck-ing are too.

She says Canadians have a responsibility and a moral obligation to help others. She hopes to become a broadcast journalist so she can speak to the issues she feels so passionately about.

Th e Miss B.C. 2011 pageant takes place July 1 to 3 in Fort Langley. Along with workshops on martial arts and eti-quette, the contestants will wear gowns and sportswear, but there’s no swimsuit competi-tion – another factor that sold her on this particular pageant.

As a feminist, she’s come to terms with the beauty aspect that’s “cer-tainly a part of it,” but insists it’s not the main

focus of the forum.It’s something she’s

thought about a lot,she says, explaining shefi nally realized that apageant is a great op-portunity for a youngwoman.

She was drawn to thisparticular pageant be-cause of its emphasis oncharitable causes.

Last year, the pageantraised $33,000 for Copsfor Cancer, an annualcampaign involving po-lice and other emergen-cy services personnel.

Contestants are urgedto encourage supportersto donate to the charitywhile pledging supportfor contestants.

By Jeff NagelA third-party group backing Sur-

rey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon’s Liberal leadership bid won’t say how much cash it’s raised so far or expects to spend.

Th e Falcon 20/20 organization has amassed high-profi le corporate sup-port but is exempt from the party’s leadership campaign rules that cap spending by Falcon and other would-be premiers at no more than $450,000.

Th e loophole could allow the offi cial campaign to circum-vent the spending limit – which Falcon has criticized as low – but the organizer of Falcon 20/20 played down that possibility.

“Th is is on a pretty tight budget,” said Ryan Beedie, presi-dent of the Beedie Group, a Surrey-based industrial property development fi rm. “It’s not some six-fi g-ure number.”

Beedie said he checked with Elec-tions BC and was told there is nothing in law that prohibits the group from advertising in support of a leadership candidate, provided it steers clear of any recall campaigns underway.

“Nobody can really stop us from doing it, with respect,” he said.

“It’s a free country and we can do what we want. If somebody wants to challenge that, that’s for others to de-cide.”

Beedie said the group is primar-ily a network where business leaders backing Falcon fan out further and seek to bring in more supporters.

Th e group has purchased somenewspaper ads but he added it’s “notan expensive campaign.”

Falcon 20/20 has recruited a list of143 business executives so far public-ly backing the former health ministerfor premier.

Prominent supporters include for-mer federal Liberal cabinet ministerDavid Emerson, Kingsway Financialpresident Joe Segal and Sandman

Hotel Group CEO Tom Gagliardi.

Beedie said the leadership vote is a once-in-a-genera-tion chance for Lib-eral supporters to play a role in directly electing the next pre-mier.

Falcon 20/20 came under increased scrutiny this week aft er Christy Clark described the orga-nization as a collec-tion of “insiders” and suggested Falcon’s campaign is not suf-fi ciently inclusive.

Falcon responded saying Clark’s attack was somethinghe’d expect of a New Democrat not afellow Liberal and that she’d likely be“thrilled” if she had his level of sup-port.

“Glib, off -the-cuff comments mightmake for good ratings on a talk show,but if you want to be leader of ourparty and premier of our province,you have to know that your wordshave power,” Falcon said.

“So, pick them carefully, and putthem to work uniting British Colum-bians, rather than dividing us.”

Dealing with the kids who are late is par-ticularly challenging: Th ey’re rushing because they don’t want to miss the bell – and so intent on their goal of getting to school they forget about traffi c safety or the threat of getting hit by a car.

Fortunately, Mrs. Blanche/Mme Blanc is there to help.

“I’ve now saved about fi ve kids from running right out into traffi c, catching them just at the last moment,” she says. “Th ere was one parent who gave me a movie pass [in gratitude]. I said, ‘Th ank you.’ It is just an enjoyable job.”

Vantol recently re-ceived what she de-scribes as a “lovely and much sought aft er tro-phy” among the cross-ing guards of South Sur-rey and White Rock.

It’s the coveted Fron-tiersmen Competition Cup, handed out by Frontiersmen of the Commonwealth, B.C Command, the orga-nization that invests school crossing guards in B.C.

Th is the fi rst time anyone from Cloverdale has won and it came as a complete shock to Van-

tol, who didn’t even re-alize she was up for the annual award.

So when she was called up to receive the 2011 trophy during a meeting, it came as a great surprise, she says.

She’s been told it’s awarded for keeping proper time sheets and a neat, orderly uniform and for showing up.

“For a novice I haven’t done half bad!” she jokes.

Vantol didn’t set out to become the best.

She just wanted to give something back to her community.

“I found that when I was retired, I became quite isolated. Th is has just changed that completely,” she says.“I’m out in my neigh-bourhood.”

It’s a huge volunteer commitment, but one that’s not without its rewards.

She now volunteers with the school’s read-ing program, too. As a school crossing guard, she’s asked to do vol-unteer work. Crossing guards help at Remem-brance Day services and at the soap box derby in Cloverdale and other community events.

“A large part of what we do is volunteering,” she says.

Understandably, she receives a lot of gift s at Christmas and at the end of the year. “Th ey’re pretty happy with me, for the most part,” she says of the school com-munity.

Are they ever.“We also have to

congratulate and thank Blanche, our ever pres-ent and perpetually friendly crossing guard, for winning the Surrey and White Rock award for the best in the busi-ness,” school principal Mike Gordon said in December.

“We already knew it, but now every-body knows. Th anks, Blanche!”

In the summer, Van-tol works in her green-house or in the garden. She has a husband, three sons, a daughter-in-law and one grandson.

“I have a full life.”

TWILIGHT NEARSTwilight fans, take note: Bella’s house is

back.Th e set south of Cloverdale used as the ex-

terior of the blockbuster teen vampire movie heroine’s home has been resurrected and re-built in Kerry Park, ready for fi lming on lo-cation for Twilight: Breaking Dawn later this month.

Diehard fans of the fi lm series were dis-mayed when the Swan house set was torn down aft er production wrapped up on a prior installment of the fi lm series and the small, wooded park returned to its normal state.

Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart,

is the lead character in the movies – basedon the wildly popular novels by StephenieMeyer.

“Twihards” camped out the last time theproduction was on the site, back in early fallof 2009 for Twilight: Eclipse, and local school children at nearby East Kensington Elemen-tary had to change the route of the annualTerry Fox Run because of fi lming.

Th e park is located on 28 Ave., near 184Street.

A&Ebriefs

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOIt looks like a certain movie production will be back later this month at this park south of Cloverdale.

By Jeff NagelKwantlen Polytechnic University

students are now voting in a referen-dum on whether to adopt a TransLink U-Pass, but with a major wrinkle.

Th ey intend to run their own shut-tle service between the four Kwantlen campuses in Richmond, Langley and Surrey (Newton and Cloverdale) – paid for through an add-on fee that conveys other benefi ts as well.

Th e planned MultiPass would cost Kwantlen students $40 a month, with $30 of that going to TransLink. Be-sides unlimited regular transit service and the inter-campus shuttle, students would get a gym membership, a deliv-ery discount on organic food and ac-cess to on-campus car rentals.

Kwantlen Student Association spokesman Nathan Griffi ths said the shuttle will cost an estimated $500,000 a year but is critical to the plan work-ing.

“It’s going to revolutionize the cul-ture on campus,” he said. “TransLink has been unable or unwilling to fi ll that need and the student association has stepped up.”

Kwantlen students previously com-

plained TransLink service was too in-eff ective south of the Fraser to make the standard $30-a-month TransLink U-Pass attractive enough.

Th ey even staged a beat-the-bus race last fall that saw a runner go from campus to campus faster than a stu-dent who took the bus.

Griffi ths is optimistic the referen-dum will pass.

TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said TransLink isn’t yet in a position to off er enhanced service to serve Kwantlen students but applauded their ingenuity in craft ing an en-hanced pass.

“Th ey get full marks for creativity and thinking beyond the box on that one,” he said.

Kwantlen would be the last major institution to adopt the U-Pass, ending fears its students might be left out.

Students at Vancouver Community College, Douglas College, Emily Carr University of Art and Design and BCIT have all voted already to adopt the U-Pass, now reduced to $30 a month aft er the province mandated a standard, consistent rate for all.

Extended days for Lord TweedsmuirBy Sheila ReynoldsCramped conditions

have forced two Surrey high schools to intro-duce extended hours next fall.

Earl Marriott Sec-ondary (EMS) and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary (LTS) will adopt an al-ternate schedule begin-ning this September, in an eff ort to ensure stu-dents can attend their

neighbourhood schools and access the courses and programs they need.

Like many schools in the district, EMS and LTS are signifi cantly over capacity and have multiple portable class-rooms on site to handle student overfl ow.

With no new school space on the horizon, and more residents ar-

riving each month, the schools have opted to extend the school day to accommodate a greater number students.

Although details have yet to be ironed out, a newsletter says the amount of instructional time for students will re-main the same. Th e plan is to have the Grade 8 and 9 students start and end the school day at a diff erent time than the Grade 10-12 students and likely have diff erent lunch breaks.

Specifi c start and end times for the school day haven’t been set, but it’s anticipated the schedule will fall somewhere be-tween 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. daily. Parents are being reassured that ex-tracurricular programs and activities won’t be impacted by the diff er-

ent bell schedule.Th e timetable move

comes on the heels of community consulta-tion and a resulting re-port late last year that showed how important it was for Surrey par-ents to have kids be able to get into their neigh-bourhood schools, and to keep “choice” pro-grams such as French immersion from being continually uprooted.

Th e Surrey School District has not re-ceived capital funding for new schools since 2005, which has left thousands of students learning in portables, oft en for several years. At present, the district has more than 230 por-tables and it’s estimated there will be 340 in use by 2015. Add to that the fact that there are about

800 people moving to Surrey monthly, and the school space crunch is compounded.

“Th e variables avail-able to us are time and space,” said District Supt. Mike McKay, not-ing that many students were on wait lists last year or couldn’t get the courses they wanted at

their schools. “Let’s rec-ognize that we’re not in an ideal situation right now.”

Denying kids options, moving programs and not taking in new stu-dents simply aren’t op-tions, he said.

McKay said some schools are already us-ing fl exible schedules in some form and that the current move is to explore the possibility of expanding what is al-ready happening.

Teachers, however, aren’t welcoming the al-ternate schedule plans.

Denise Moff att, president of the Surrey Teachers’ Association, said she’s been meeting

with teachers at EMS and LTS who have nu-merous concerns about the impact changing the timetable will have on programs, lunch-time clubs, library ac-cess, extracurricular activities, families with kids in multiple grades and those with special needs.

“Th e feedback has been negative. Teach-ers have said to me ‘we want you to get the mes-sage out that this is not okay’,” said Moff att.

She said the union’s biggest concern is that this is not a temporary plan because there has been no commitment from government that Surrey needs more school space.

“Th is can’t be a long-term solution,” Moff att said. “Where is the pres-sure on government to provide these funds?”

Th e district has asked every other local high schools to consider its needs and options as well. Other possibilities

include increasing thenumber of online cours-es available to students,upping the number ofcourses off ered outsidethe regular timetable,or perhaps look at a“hybrid” system wheresome school work isdone online and some isdone in the classroom.

Surrey Board of Ed-ucation chair LauraeMcNally understandsthat the situation isn’toptimal, but says withno provincial dollarsand insuffi cient schoolspace, there aren’t anyalternatives.

“Th ere really is nochoice,” she said. “Santadidn’t drop any newschools down the chim-ney.”

McNally said the dis-trict “desperately” needsan infusion of money.Even if it arrived today,however, it takes be-tween two and fi ve yearsto build a school.

“Th is is the productof nobody paying atten-tion to a rapidly grow-ing district,” she said.“We, as a school district,do not make the fi naldecisions.”

McNally said peoplewho are upset by thelack of school spaceneed to contact theirlocal MLAs.

Details are still being ironed out, but it’s likely there will be different start times for junior and senior grades

“There really is no choice. Santa didn’t drop any new schools down the chimney.”

By Jeff NagelFlu season has been mild so far in

B.C. but health authorities warn it may not stay that way.

Th e infl uenza virus hitting eastern Canada hard may be felt more strong-ly here in the weeks ahead.

“Th e winter is long and the risk is not yet over,” said Dr. Danuta Skow-ronski, physician epidemiologist at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

“It would be wise to learn from the experience in eastern Canada and prepare for that now, because the same could still happen here.”

Infl uenza season typically spans November to April and the peak can happen any time during that period.

Th ere’s still time to get immunized even though it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to take full eff ect.

Flu shots are still available through public health units, doctors’ offi ces and pharmacists.

“We are carefully watching other parts of the country,” added Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall.

Th is year’s vaccine does cover the H3N2 strain spreading in eastern Canada.

Th e fl u vaccine is recommended and free for the elderly, very young children, and people of all ages with

chronic medical conditions as theyare at highest risk of

hospitalization and death due tocomplications from infl uenza.

Th e province expanded Pharmac-are coverage in December to includetwo brands of antiviral drugs, Tamifl uand Relenza.

Th ey’re now covered for people athigh risk of complications and whohave fl u symptoms during the 2010-11 fl u season, as well as all residents atlong-term care homes.

Most young healthy people recoverfrom the fl u without diffi culty, butthose at high risk may be helped withantivirals, which work best if taken atthe fi rst sign of symptoms appearing.

As a result, authorities advise thatthose at high risk have a plan in placefor early treatment ahead of time.

Th e fl u is potentially a serious respi-ratory illness and comes on suddenlywith fever and cough as well as gen-eral aches and fatigue.

Frequent hand-washing and cover-ing coughs and sneezes is advised tokeep the virus from spreading.

Th ere’s been little sign in B.C. thiswinter of the the H1N1 fl u virus thattriggered a mass immunization cam-paign a year ago.
