Th ieves strike family farm

JENNIFER LANG PHOTORon Tamis of Rondriso Farms, a small family run-operation in Cloverdale. The Tamis family has been farming in Surrey since 1958. The farm shop hasn’t opened yet because of a late spring.

By Jennifer LangIt’s already been a diffi cult year for Ron and

Pam Tamis of Rondriso Farms, a traditional family farm in Cloverdale.

Like other local farmers, they’ve already had to contend with a late spring. Crops like beets and carrots are well behind were they should be and some – like the parsnips and onions – have failed outright.

Instead of opening up their seasonal farm gate shop this week, the Tamises are hoping the weather will cooperate long enough for the their remaining veggie crops to catch up.

And now this.Ron, Pam and their three

young sons returned home from a recent family camping trip to a devastating discovery: while they were away, someone broke in and stole their SPCA-certifi ed beef from two large storage freezers in the shop.

In emptying out the freezers, the thieves took beef meant for customers along with the family’s winter food. For the fi rst time in years, they’ll have to buy meat from the gro-cery store.

“Th ey took everything,” said Ron. “Th ey took the heart. Th ey took the liver, the oxtail, everything.”

Th e family only takes one holiday a year – a week-long camping trip to rendezvous with other relatives.

But the 43.5-acre property was far from abandoned in their absence. Not only was nephew house sitting, Ron’s father also lives on the property. He looks aft er the cows and keeps an eye on things while they’re away.

But the thieves were sneaky, breaking into the shop through the barn, ignoring the pres-sure washer and other tools that had been left

out, heading straight for the store’s freezers instead.

“It was like a beeline. Th ey were covered, out of sight from the house,” Ron said.

He fi gures whoever stole the food watched as the family packed up the trailer and hit the road – and knew how to elude existing se-curity measures – because the next morning, his father noticed a light

was on in the shop. And sure enough, he even-tually found packages of ground beef laying in the grass, betraying the path of their pillage.

“Th ey had to go back and forth (from the road to the shop). Th ere were multiple boxes.”

Originally a dairy farm, Tamis took over the burgeoning beef operations in 2001, when

“It’s a super-tight margin on beef...”

- Ron Tamis

Little Coltan is a fundraising powerhouseBy Jennifer LangAt age 2½, one of B.C.’s littlest

insulin-dependent diabetics is also one of the biggest fundraisers around for an organization that’s helping fi nd a cure.

Coltan Daniel was just nine months old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2009.

He nearly died while doctors frantically tried to fi gure out what

was wrong. Fortunately, the staff at BC Children’s Hospital were able to save his life.

Now, it’s up to Coltan’s family to manage his blood sugar levels, inject him with insulin, and manage his diet – every day.

He’s “just a little guy”, mom Meaghan Norton Daniel says, so he requires constant blood checks throughout the day, and even every two to three hours at night. Failing to do so could result in seizures, coma or death – or might bring on long-term complications like blindness, kidney failure and loss of limbs.

Th e insulin Coltan needs is not a cure, his family says, butlife-support. But, they say, thanks to research and technolog-ical advances discovered by the Juvenile Diabetes ResearchFoundation (JDRF), living with Type 1 diabetes is moremanageable than it was 10 years ago.

Last year, Team Kisses For Coltan – named for the sooth-ing kisses he receives for the thousands of painful fi nger-pokes he needs each year - raised $18,000 for the foundation,with Coltan leading the way. Coltan ended up being the top

his father retired, and moved into full-time farming in 2005, when the farm expanded to a handful of vegetable crops, including pumpkin and the sweet corn, a favourite with customers.

Poor spring growing tem-peratures had already forced the family to push back the opening of its farm store.

Th e theft of food from a farm that prides itself on welcoming local school children and par-ents each Autumn for barn and pumpkin patch tours and hay-rides is particularly galling.

It’s left the family wondering what sort of person would steal the personal food of a farmer.

Ron estimates the theft rep-resents about one 10th of his net proceeds.

“It’s a super-tight margin on beef anyways,” he said, ex-plaining Rondriso Farms at 8390 172 Street operates the pumpkin patch attraction in

the fall as an additional source of revenue. “Th e animals are a 365-days-a-year job. Every penny counts.”

About 20 calves are born and raised at the farm each year. Th e

farm produces SPCA-certifi ed beef, third-party certifi cation that means the cattle are milk and grass-fed, grass and grain fi nished, and are antibiotic and growth hormone-free.

Fortunately, all of the pro-cessed beef had been sold.Some of the frozen beef stolenbelonged to a couple of cus-tomers whose orders were be-ing stored at Rondriso Farms.

In the wake of the theft , Ronplans to boost security on thefarm.

“It just means more moneythat’s not available right nowyou have to invest into thefarm, otherwise it’s going tohappen again.”

Despite the setback, he’sconfi dent that there will soonbe better times ahead.

“Th at’s just it. In farming,it’s not over until it’s over. Wecould end up with a fantasticfall, and as a farmer, that’s whatyou hope for.”

Nor will the family give uptheir precious annual one-week holiday.

“Your kids are only youngonce,” he said, adding the boysare 7, 5, and 3. “You never getthat time back.”

Comic star chosenReporter readers help determine artist’s creative direction

By Jennifer LangTh e votes are in.Readers have chosen the newest hero of

the Cloverdale Reporter’s resident comic strip artist’s next series.

It’s Al Lando.A while back, 10-year-old Jasper Jubenvill

sent in a list of fi ve possible comic heroes, ask-ing readers to vote for favourite new character. (His original series, Clayboy, came to an end this spring).

We’d already created a photo album on the Cloverdale Reporter’s Facebook Page called

Th e Comic Strip Kid. We’ve been featuring Jasper’s com-ics there every week, and in-viting readers to take a look.

Al Lando – a cowboy, we’re told – has beat out other po-tential action heroes such as Rick Rasen, Th e Phantom, Soldier Jhon, and Spy i.

At one point during the voting, Al Lando was ahead with fi ve votes, followed by

Rick Rasen, the Phantom, and Spy i with three votes each. Soldier Jhon was in last place with one vote.

Since then, Jasper has created a comic book cover page for the winning concept, Al Lando vs. the Ghost, along with putting the fi nishing touches on his fi rst fi ve comic strip panels.

In typical Jasper fashion, it’s a dramatic in-troduction: the cover page shows a fedora-wearing, revolver-aiming Al Lando confront-ing a man with a pistol clinging to the front of a steam engine.

“I bet your hands are slipping!” Lando snarls menacingly, as beads of sweat pour down the forehead of the man, trying to keep his footing

secure as he straddles the train.To fi nd out what happens next, visit our Fa-

cebook page (http://ow.ly/5CMBy). We’ve cre-ated a photo album called the Comic Strip Kid, and we post every new comic installment by Jasper there.

To view them, look for Th e Comic Strip Kid album, which you’ll fi nd listed on the page un-der “photos”.

Sunday joyride in a front-end loaderBy Dan FergusonTh ere were, witnesses said, fi ve to seven young men riding the

20-ton John Deere front end loader down 24 Avenue early last Sunday morning.

Th e stereo in the cab of the 20-ton rig was blasting music over the sound of the 232 horsepower engine.

Th e big tractor was stolen from a locked compound at Stokes Pit near the Langley-Surrey border around 1 a.m.

As it was making its way eastward down the 19900 block of 24 Avenue, the loader fl ipped over a Ford F350 pickup truck, leaving the smaller vehicle on its side. Shortly aft er that the youths aban-doned the loader and fl ed on foot.

According to one unoffi cial account, the John Deere was brought to a halt by a local resident who jumped into the cab to stop it from hitting a gas station and pub.

Th e Air 1 police helicopter was called in, but either it nor a police dog could locate the joyriders.

Th e loader was recovered undamaged and returned to the owner.

Police are asking anyone with information that might assist in identifying the suspects to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you prefer to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

OpinionsCOMMUNITY CALENDAR

To the editor;Th e Rail For the Valley Cam-

paign demands the provincial government get started on build-ing South of Fraser light rail, now that residents are being asked to pay more in vehicle and gas taxes.

Th e idea of increasing taxes in Surrey and Langley to fund the Evergreen SkyTrain Line will simply not fl y if there is not also an immediate plan to build light rail south of the Fraser River.

Th e Evergreen Line is ex-tremely expensive and taking so long to implement because the provincial government decided it must be built using Bombardier’s SkyTrain system instead of the far more popular option of at-grade light rail that is being built every-where else around the world.

So now, people south of the Fraser are being asked to pay even more in taxes for very little benefi t to themselves. Th is has to change.

We strongly support Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts’ demands for immediate investment in at-grade light rail south of the Fraser, and we await an announcement from the province.

To put things in perspective, an independent technical analy-sis by Leewood Projects of Great Britain confi rms that establishing a light rail service on the exist-ing Interurban corridor, through Surrey, Delta, Cloverdale, Langley, Abbotsford, all the way 100 km to Chilliwack, would cost about a third the cost of the 11-km Evergreen SkyTrain line.

Th e Interurban would be an excellent starting point for a light rail network, because you can establish an initial system of con-siderable length at low cost, and then build on to it.

Rail For the Valley understands the need to sometimes raise rev-enues in order to help pay for sig-nifi cant infrastructure projects that will benefi t everyone.

It has now been 17 years with no rail-based transit expansion south of the Fraser River, and in-creased taxes must be accompa-nied by the creation of real alter-natives for people in the area.

South of Fraser light rail is long overdue.

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSCloverdale bees are taking a working vacation, producing honey on site for posh hotels at YVR, Vancouver and Victoria.

Hotel guests pay with honeyBy Boaz JosephOn Wednesday, June 29, a large

group of tiny guests arrived at their destination late, checking in at 11 p.m. at the Fairmont Van-couver Airport hotel.

Th e entourage – 1.44 million honeybees boxed in 36 colonies – was on a working holiday of sorts at the Sea Island Conservation Area in Richmond.

It’s the second year that John Gibeau has brought his bees to the hotel, part of a three-year agreement to pro-vide the hotel’s kitchen with honey produced from the nectar of wild-fl owers in the area.

In 2010, 24 colonies on the site produced about 2,200 lbs. of honey.

For the last several years, Gibeau, owner of Cloverdale’s Honeybee Centre, has provided 10 colonies to the Fair-mont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver. Th is year, he also brought fi ve colonies by ferry to the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria.

At YVR, the bees have been situated about 400 metres north of the ho-tel.

Th e bee colonies at the two other Fairmont ho-tels are on the premises.

As for last year’s sweet harvest, “it’s all gone,” says Gibeau, whose company jars the honey for the executive chefs at all three hotels. “Th ey used it all up.”

In downtown Vancou-ver, the 10 bee colonies

are situated in the hotel’s third-fl oor garden next to the swim-ming pool. At Victoria’s Empress, the fi ve colonies are fenced off on the front lawn – sometimes vis-ited by a groundhog, whose bur-row lays between the boxes.

Gibeau says the unique foliage around the sites makes for hon-eys with diff erent colours, aromas and fl avours – with the cultivated

fl owers in Victoria making for a spicier, more apple-fl avoured honey. He says the wildfl owers in Richmond and the cultivated plants in Vancouver for some rea-son make honeys that are similar to one another.

Th e hotels are just a small por-tion of the beekeeping business for Gibeau, a former police offi -

cer and member of a family with several generations of farming in its history.

While he says his staff en-joyed the idea of packing up the bees for Fairmont, most of his insects are trucked to diff erent locations in the region to pollinate 11 food crops.

Growers pay beekeepers to pollinate their crops.

Gibeau memorizes the foods chronologically ac-cording to their four-week blooming positions during the growing season: Apples, blueberries, currants, straw-berries, raspberries, cran-berries, blackberries, kiwis (grown in Aldergrove), pumpkins, zucchini and squash.

In the case of blueberries, it’s a $50-million industry to which Gibeau contrib-utes 4,440 colonies, about a quarter of which he owns. Th e rest he rents from Al-berta beekeepers.

Th e Honeybee Centre, at the corner of 176 Street and Fraser Highway, is dedicated to bringing the benefi ts of the honeybee to people every-where through their beekeep-

ing services, a country and online store, and a visitor and learning centre. Store hours are Monday to Friday from

9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.honeybeecentre.com.

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSHoneybee Centre’s John Gibeau has rented 51 honeybee colonies to three local Fairmont Hotels this summer to produce honey for their executive chefs.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOSuspiciously unusual: Kaeman Sustar, Krista Long, William Valenzuela, Nicole Cochrane and Nicholas Yee head up a youthful cast in the Surrey Little Theatre’s summer production, Unusual Suspects.

Th ey might not appear to have much in common.

But four high school students at the centre of Surrey Little Th e-atre’s summer youth production do share one similarity: they all despise their high school princi-pal.

Unusual Suspects, debuting yesterday, follows the quartet of teens as they attempt to get revenge on Prin-cipal Piddles, the angry man who has haunt-ed their high school years.

Th e action-packed comedy is directed by

Loryn Gear, who’s normally seen on stage rather than at the helm of a production.

“Th e cast and crew have been terrifi c and I would certainly do it again,” says the fi rst-time direc-tor.

Unusual Suspects runs Wednes-day to Saturday from July 13 to 23, evening shows at 8 p.m. and Sat-urday matinees at 2 p.m.

Tickets are available by calling 604-576-8451 or email [email protected].


A&Ebriefs

Foes united by a common loathing

Th e sight of an adorable baby bunny for sale in the window of a pet store is a sure-fi re way to draw a crowd and attract customers. Who can resist those huge brown eyes or those little fl oppy ears? Too oft en, though, people let their emotions crowd their judgment and what starts out as a peek into a store window ends up as an impulse purchase.

Rabbits, like all pets, require the right kinds of housing, diet, grooming, exercise and stimulation to live a good life. All too frequently people purchase bunnies — either for themselves or for their children without considering how much time and energy it takes to properly care for a rabbit over its 12-year lifespan. When the novelty of the impulse purchase wears off some guardians take the inhumane step of dumping

their rabbit in a local park or fi eld in the mistaken belief that the rabbit can fend for itself. Sadly, this is not the case. A b a n d o n e d pet rabbits have none of the natural sensibilities

of a wild rabbit and they soon fall victim to predators, disease and injuries. Th e lives of these innocent animals are cut short, but because rabbits reproduce so quickly this cycle

of suff ering is passed along to future generations of homeless rabbits in our public spaces.

In addition to setting a terrible example for children who may grow up thinking that family pets are disposable commodities, it is also an off ence under the Criminal Code to abandon

an animal, punishable by a fi ne of up to $10,000, or up to 18 months in jail. Irresponsible ab an d on m e nt of rabbits has also led to huge problems in many B.C.

communities, such as Victoria, where there is currently a huge public outcry over the cull of more than 2,000 adult and baby bunnies on the University of

Victoria campus.So they next time you’re

tempted by that cute bunny in the store window, remember the commitment involved. Animals depend on us to make humane and responsible choices.

For information on rabbit care or to help the BC SPCA campaign for bylaws to ban the sale of unsterilized rabbits, visit spca.bc.ca.

Trustees approve raiseA raise for Surrey school trustees kicked in July 1.Th e seven trustees now receive an annual base rate of $29,800 each, with

the chair receiving an extra $3,000 a year and the vice chair getting an ad-ditional $1,500.

Th e increase works out to about $66 a month, and mirrors the 2.6 per centrise in the Consumer Price Index (cost of living) in Vancouver.

Th e Surrey board’s wages will now total $213,000, lessthan their counterpart school boards in Coquitlam andVancouver, which each have nine trustees.

Surrey has a signifi cantly higher number of studentsthan those two districts. An anticipated 70,360 studentsare expected to enroll in Surrey schools next fall.

Th e Surrey school district has nearly 9,000 employees.– Sheila Reynolds, Black Press

Teachers want raise, compassionate care leavePublic school employers say contract demands tabled by the B.C. Teachers

Federation would cost the system nearly $2.2 billion more each year.Th e demands include doubling the provision for bereavement leave to

provide 10 days paid leave on the death of any friend or relative.Th e union also wants teachers to be able to take 26 weeks off each year as a

fully paid leave of absence to provide compassionate care to any person.Th e BCTF also wants wage parity with other provinces, although it hasn’t

yet tabled an exact pay hike demand.Teachers salaries range from around $47,000 to over $75,000 a year.Salary parity would mean a 21 per cent raise for most teachers to match

levels in Alberta and cost an estimated $618 million, according to the BCPublic School Employers Association (BCPSEA).

Other top cost drivers in the proposals include extra prep time at $417million and $445 million for a retirement bonus that would give departingteachers an extra fi ve per cent payout for every year they’ve worked.

Th e proposals leave a wide gulf between the teachers’ federation and theBCPSEA, which aims to keep overall teacher costs frozen.

Unionized teachers voted 90 per cent in favour of strike action lastmonth.

Any initial job action starting in September is expected to be limited toparing back administrative work and other non-teaching activities.

Th e employers association said it’s concerned the teachers passed a strikevote at an early stage in talks. Negotiations are to resume in August.

Council pay increaseSurrey taxpayers are pay-

ing about $50,000 more for city council.

It cost $727,804 in 2010 to pay for eight councillors and the mayor, up from $679,923 the pre-vious year. Cost of living increas-es are part of the explanation.

Th e mayor now earns $112,550 (up $3,500) and councillors

$632,000 (up by $2,000). Coun. Barinder Rasode rang up the most costs, charging $17,569 for out-of-town and other expenses, such as car allowance.

Rasode was just ahead of Coun. Marvin Hunt, who billed the city $17,049 in expenses in 2010. Most of that was for out-of-town conferences.

Th ird in expenses was Coun. Judy Villenueve with $14,493,

followed by Coun. Linda Hepner with $12,520, Coun. Mary Mar-tin with $12,490, Mayor Dianne Watts at $12,415 in expenses, Coun. Tom Gill with $11,923 and Coun. Barbara Steele with $8,498.

Section 168 of the Commu-nity Charter requires the release of council expenditures at least once a year.

Stunning fi nishContributed“Play hard, smart, and together.”

Th at’s the motto for Cloverdale Catholic School’s Track and Field program. On Wednesday, June 8, they lived up to that motto and more.

Cloverdale Catholic School, located near 176 Street and 59 Avenue, has seen a marked improvement in the level of participation and on-fi eld success of its Track and Field program over the past several years.

All that improvement culminated in a stunning fi rst place fi nish at the re-cent Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese Track Meet at Swangard Stadium on June 8.

Th at competition, which involves close to 35 school and well over 1,000 athletes, is the largest of its kind on British Columbia. Among the bright-est stars at the event were Cloverdale Catholic’s own 12-year-old Maria Palmegiani and 11-year-old Raquel Pinto, both of whom won the “aggre-gate” awards for best female athlete in their age group.

“For the kids to achieve this level of success is wonderful,” says Principal Mr. Jason Borkowski, “but we would not want to judge our success based on one day’s performance. Th e real success story here is the involvement, dedication, and hard work of so many students, parents, and teachers. It really shows what we can do when we believe in ourselves and work together to use our God given gift s to their full potential.”

–Cloverdale Catholic School

Clayton Heights caresStudents at Clayton Heights Secondary raised about $900

through raffl e tickets, dunk tank, candy and baked goods sales and snow cone sales at a year-end event.

Students and staff turned out in full force to support the third annual Project Equal Carnival, held in conjunction with the school’s yearbook signing and student appreciation bar-becue. Th e money is going to various local and international causes, including the Autism Foundation, BC Children’s

Hospital, Surrey Urban Mission, Doctors Without Borders, and Clayton Heights’ school community in Sierra Leone.


It’s a Small World after all...Bands from two local high schools took part in their very

own Disney show. Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary’s wind en-semble and jazz ensemble performed at Disneyland in May.

Clayton Heights Secondary’s concert band also performed at Disneyland in May. Th e groups were taking part in the Disney Performing Arts Program, which off er band, choral, dance and auxiliary performers the chance to learn, perform and compete at Disneyland.


Abbott visits Adams Road ElementaryEducation Minister George Abbott was on hand to cut the

ribbon at the offi cial opening of AdamsRoad Elementary last week.

Th e ribbon-cutting duties were per-formed in a cooperative fashion, withGrade 1 student Brianna Kleinfeld help-ing both school principal Joanne Berkaand the cabinet minister.

Th e opening ceremony includedguest speakers, entertainment, schooltours and a reception.

Th e school, located at 18228 68 Av-enue, is named for the Adams family,who lived in the area during the 1920s.

It welcomed its fi rst students earlierthis year on Jan. 10. At school year’s endit had an enrolment of 268 students.

Petition deliveredSurrey’s shortage of classroom space

got some attention in the B.C. legisla-ture last month as local NDP MLAspresented a 659-signature petition pro-testing a lack of capital funding.

“Families are very concerned aboutthe negative impact of inadequateschool space on their children’s educa-tion,” said Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood.

“Even the government’s own docu-ments show that our secondary schools

are at 117 per cent capacity. Th at’s unacceptable.”Apart from money for seismic upgrades and full-day kin-

dergarten, the Surrey School District has not received capitalfunding for new schools since 2005.

At present, the district has more than 230 portables andit’s estimated there will be 340 in use by 2015. Add to thatthe fact that there are about 800 people moving to the citymonthly, and the school space crunch compounds even fur-ther. Some schools, such as Earl Marriott Secondary andLord Tweedsmuir Secondary, are switching to alternate stu-dent timetables in the fall to accommodate more students.

Surrey-Whalley MLA Bruce Ralston called the situation“intolerable” and said Surrey is getting the short end of thestick. Surrey-Green Timbers MLA Sue Hammell agreed.“It ishigh time that the new premier follow through on her com-mitment to put families fi rst and provide students in Surreywith the funding that they need in order to ensure an envi-ronment conducive to learning,” said Hammell.
