A Good Harvest “You reap what you sow.� We’ve all heard the old adage, often as a warning, but it’s a positive truth, too. As I’ve enjoyed fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries all summer, I’ve appreciated being able to enjoy the benefits of what others sowed months ago! The Bible has a lot to say about sowing and reaping. Galatians 6 gives both a warning and an encouragement: “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up� (verses 7-9). What we do has eternal consequences; the way we live our life matters! Of course, it’s not always easy to make the right choices. That’s why Galatians talks about sowing “to the Spirit.� Only the Holy Spirit can produce lasting fruit from what someone sows. How? Through His Word, the Bible, and through the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Through these means, the Holy Spirit causes a rich harvest of fruit in our lives, all of which are possible only through Jesus Christ, the Righteous One: a harvest of “love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control� (Galatians 5:22-23).

An active life is child’s play for local lad Born with a rare condition, Cloverdale’s Tanner Jung is happy to get on with life – and promote safety awareness

LORENE KEITCH/BLACK PRESS

Tanner Jung keeps a sunny outlook as he plays in his backyard.

BURNING BAN The City of Surrey has prohibited all types of outdoor fires until further notice, including cancelling all burning permits. Charcoal barbecues in city parks and beaches are also prohibited, but cooking appliances such as propane barbecues are allowed. Hot temperatures and dry weather has resulted in hazardous fire conditions throughout the region. For more information,

By Lorene Keitch Tanner Jung is pretty typical as far as 10-year old boys go. He loves to swim and go tubing behind his parent’s boat. He enjoys biking and playing basketball. He loves all animals (except cats), likes camping and Saturday morning cartoons. He’s not a fan of school and his favourite band is AC/DC. He’s chatty on a summer morning when a reporter comes to visit. He talks about the family’s recent camping trip, the way the tube whips behind their boat, the pond he and his dad built together and the antics of his dog Walker. But there is something more to this young Cloverdale resident, something he does not allow to define him but is certainly a part of who he is today. Tanner was born with one leg shorter than other due to a condition called Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency, or PFFD. It affects Tanner’s femur and hip socket; he started life with one leg shorter and it only got worse as he grew. As mom Nadene Jung explains it, “At some point that hip just stops developing.

STOPPING IN SURREY The Finance Committee of the House of Commons has agreed to visit Surrey this fall as part of its cross-country hearings in support of the next federal budget. “I’m very pleased that my colleagues recognized and agreed to the importance of

So as Tanner was growing, he was losing length on that leg.” Tanner has gone through a series of surgeries to help him with this problem, beginning when he was four years old. Doctors turned his right leg 180 degrees around and operated on his hip two times to help with the rotation. He’s also had a series of more minor surgeries and may require a few more. “The whole concept of the rotation is his ankle is now his knee. When he puts the prosthetic on, that’s his new knee,” Nadene describes. “His foot gives him the leverage for movement.” Tanner doesn’t complain when asked how the prosthetic is to use. Nadene fills in the blanks: “It’s heavy, it’s sweaty, but he does very well in it.” Tanner pipes up that it’s much lighter than his last prosthetic, weighing approximately five pounds instead of the previous 10. His latest surgery was in November, 2009 and just last month he was able to once again get out of his wheelchair and back on his feet. Tanner doesn’t talk about

the time in the wheelchair. His mom says he doesn’t let a lot of things get him down, though being in a wheelchair for so long this last year was definitely a challenge. “He’s got a very positive attitude,” Nadene affirms. The Jung family has only encountered two other people with the exact condition Tanner has. One was a young man they met after they found out Tanner had PFFD. Another is a younger girl who coincidentally lives in Cloverdale as well. “She’s two years younger and we met her online,” Nadene says. “It turns out she lives just down the hill from us.” The Jungs helped the little girl’s family connect with the War Amps, a charity that has proved invaluable to Tanner. The War Amps have bought implements to help Tanner be mobile, including wheelchair, walkers, crutches – they even bought Tanner a special bike as he can’t use a regular one. It works like an elliptical machine, and looks almost like a 10 year old kid’s bike should look. Every year Tanner gets to attend a seminar where all

the children connected to War Amps come together. “It’s a real weekend just for them,” says Nadene. It helps Tanner to not feel so different from other kids. The organization also provides helpful information such as telling Tanner to not hop on one leg as that can damage his good leg. For his part, Tanner is happy to help promote this charitable organization. He has been in a number of War Amps promotional campaigns and most recently was a safety ambassador on the War Amps float at this year’s Cloverdale Rodeo Parade. Tanner will be entering Grade 5 this fall. He goes to a smaller school outside of his catchment area as they felt it would be easier on Tanner. He does not get picked on, but does get a lot of stares when he goes to the local pool and takes his leg off for a swim. When asked if there is anything Tanner would like to tell people, he simply asks to be treated the same as anyone else and moves quickly on to talking about something else – just like any 10year old boy is prone to do.

The funds raised will go towards the Surrey Memorial Hosptial Foundation’s Emergency Centre Campaign, specifically to pediatric emergency care. The new Emergency Centre is designed to include a separate children’s ER, a separate mental health and addictions section, an enhanced minor treatment unit, and an improved area for acute patients.

Miloh is on the mend Medical care and TLC help feline fire victim recover from trauma By Jim Thompson Recently the Cloverdale Reporter had a news article on a house fire in which eight of nine show cats were lost. The sole survivor was Miloh (a red mackerel tabby). The firemen acted fast when they discovered him and gave him oxygen at the scene as well as irrigated his feet which had blistered from the heat of the fire. Since then, many people have asked us how Miloh did after the trauma. The answer is he is doing fine. Miloh was admitted to our hospital with first and second-degree burns to his feet (melted plastic in between his toes), singed whiskers and eyebrows, as well as ear tips burnt in places. He suffered from smoke inhalation and was placed in our oxygen kennel to help remove the carbon monoxide which would have built up in his lungs as a result of the fire. Pain medication was administered immediately along with intravenous fluids, and respiratory medicine. His eyes were washed out to clear the soot. Vitals were checked and showed he was stable, which allowed us to transfer him to the Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley (AECFV) in order to continue receiving oxygen overnight to help rid him of the carbon monoxide poisoning. At the AECFV he was monitored for the evening, and maintained on pain meds as well as antibiotics. Sugar-honey

bandages were applied to his feet to help start the healing process of the burnt pads and his vitals were checked periodically. Back at our hospital the next day we began to clean him up with bathing and shaving, as well as removing damaged or dead skin. Blood tests of his organ functions were showing effects of the trauma on his liver. His appetite was gone and we had to have his “Mom� come in to coax him to eat.

Monitoring temperatures revealed he developed a fever and so X-rays were necessary to rule out lung damage. Miloh continued to improve with lots of attention.

Column on North Korea falls short

To the editor; Re: The war’s over, but conflict lingers, July 2 Tom Fletcher’s column reminds us peace may yet emerge in that part of the world. But his analysis falls short. Seemingly contradictory, the majority of South Koreans do not perceive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il as an “erratic, nuclear-armed madman.” Instead, Kim is admired as a strong person who stands up for his country. No small measure of that attitude can be traced back to the 1905 RussoJapanese War, where U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt pressured the combatants to sign a deal that gave Korea to Japan and solidified American control of the Philippines. This sacrifice of Korean freedom – later punctu-

To the editor

ated by the failure of the 1919 Versailles conference to extend independence to all nations – is a point well-learnt by the Korean people: it is dangerous to allow others to decide your fate. This is not to say the contributions made by the UN during the Korean War and the later massive infusions of U.S. economic aid to South Korea are disavowed. Koreans, then as now, appreciated the help. The present generation of South Koreans are more likely to emphasize blood ties and culture rather than ideological-

ly-driven armed retaliation whenever faced with North Korean provocation. Of course, after 65 years the notion that the North and South retain the same society is fanciful. More sobering, sudden reunification could cost Seoul up to $3.5 trillion, which is enough to convince most southerners that gradual and functional co-operation is the most prudent strategy. Still, Koreans strive to be once-again a proud, unified country informed by peace and prosperity, yet cautiously aware of the super powers that surround it, namely China, Russia, and Japan. Communism or capitalism does not change that geopolitical fact.

Surrey to wait for ALC ruling on compost plant Pilot Grove wants to sell most of its compost off-site, pending a land use decision By Hannah Sutherland Surrey city staff have recommended an alternative site be found for a compost plant proposed for a farm property located south of Cloverdale. But council rejected the suggestion, instead deciding to await a ruling from the Agricultural Land Commission. The proposal – a commercial composting facility located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, at 17690 and 17720 12 Ave. – is currently before the ALC, as the developer wants to use the lots for a nonfarm use. Pilot Grove Farms intends to sell the majority (95 per cent) of the compost produced at

the plant offsite, which exceeds the amount allowed within the ALR. “The Agricultural Land Commission has deferred a decision on the non-farm use application pending a review by their executive committee of the wider implications of this proposal and potential future policies,� states a staff report. Coun. Judy Villeneuve said that an ALC report is expected by September. Staff ’s reasons for recommending an alternative site were outlined in the city report, and included a peer review that found the proposed location is uncommon for a large-scale compost facility. While such plants are typically situated in

close proximity to other industrial activities, the South Surrey proposal is close to a protected fish habitat watercourse, a water well and private residences, and has a high water table. “Preliminary indications are that other more suitable sites could be explored, where potential impacts would be minimized,� the report states. The plant is intended to compost green waste, food waste and agricultural waste into “Class A� compost, and would produce up to 20,000 tonnes of compost annually. Pilot Grove Farms has argued the compost would benefit soils of the area, and the site itself addresses Metro Vancouver’s commit-

ment to divert 70 per cent of landfill waste by 2015. It has engaged a consultant to ensure any creek and environmental concerns are addressed, according to the report. Pilot Grove submitted a petition to the city with more than 1,000 signatures of support. Opponents – who have expressed concerns about odour, noise, traffic, impact on land values and environmental impacts on groundwater, fish habitat and air quality – have submitted their own petition, signed by 934 people. Letters, emails and phone calls from neighbouring property owners, as well as a letter from 18 local business owners and commu-

nity representatives, opposing the proposal have also been received by the city, the report states. According to the report, findings from a consultant retained by Pilot Grove indicate the proposal should be effective in managing odour, dust, vectors, leachate and other nuisance conditions, based on current acceptable industry practices for a facility of its size. “The report does not, however, comment on how much nuisance impacts could be further reduced if a more appropriate site were selected, closer to other industrial activity, away from a protected watercourse, water well and private residences.�

FIND WATER IN A JIFFY If you’re thirsty, you may want to check your iPhone. Metro Vancouver is preparing to launch an app that finds locations of drinking water fountains throughout the region. A web database is to provide the same information to other mobile phones like Blackberrys and Androids. Metro officials also intend to include locations of restaurants and hotels willing to make tap water available to the public. Managers say the water fountain iPhone app is one of Metro’s strategies to try to reduce bottled water use 20 per cent by this year. Metro Vancouver also opted to spend $200,000 recently on two water wagons to distribute drinking water at major public events.

Career & Education Spotlight by Black Press A downturn in the economy usually means fewer jobs. It can also lead to more students attending post-secondary institutions, putting off entering the job market so they can upgrade their skills and training. “We have seen an increase over the last couple of years,” said Kathleen Bigsby, director of Institutional Analysis and Planning at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “We think there’s a link to the labour market, but we don’t know for sure.” Fall enrollment at Kwantlen rose 10 per cent – or about 1,200 students – from 2008 to 2009. Numbers in the spring also rose, by approximately 3.5 per cent. “We’re all in the three to five per cent range,” said Bigsby of the increases at post-secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland. “It’s one of the reasons we think it’s the labour market. It’s not just a few institutions, it all of them.” Jeremy Sabell, executive director of Stenberg College, said enrollment at the Surrey school is up”15 to 20 per cent” to roughly 450 students. “It’s been up since the downturn in the economy,” he said. “And we see the effects when we hire. There’s strong candidates for jobs that wouldn’t usually draw those applications.” Norbert Ruimy, director of the Surrey campus of Sprott Shaw Community College says when there’s a downturn in the economy, his institution usually witnesses a rise in enrolment.

“We see a lot of students coming back to take refresher Attendant program has fallen off, and we’re not sure why,” he classes – we have free lifetime upgrading – and we notice said. “And there’s a ton of opportunities out there in that area. when the economy starts to turn, students always come back “And there’s a huge need in our Community Support and for retraining,” said Ruimy. outreach Worker (mental health) program. And not as many “We also have a lot of students that took a program with us, people in that field as you might think.” and for some reason did not complete it ... maybe they found a job and worked with a job for five years, and all of a sudden they’re laid off and now they feel they need their diploma.” Still other students, he says, are looking for greater job security in uncertain economic (& Contact Lens Fitter) times. “We find a lot of people are fed up with * Start Your Own Business!! * this roller-coaster ride so they want to get into a career that is basically recession-proof.” * 6 month days...

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

Welcome to the 7th annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival O

lueberries

n behalf of Surrey City Council, I want to welcome you to the 7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival! This event is a great opportunity for us all to celebrate our vibrant agricultural community. Blueberries are one of my favourite berries. With numerous health benefits, they taste great and are great for you. I hope this festival will help you to discover the many innovative ways you can Mayor Dianne Watts enjoy the benefits of blueberries. Surrey has a strong agricultural heritage and we value the richness of our farming community. With one third of our land base being protected agricultural land this thriving festival speaks to the diversity of products being produced locally in our city. Thank you for supporting this year’s festival, I hope you enjoy the many fresh foods, activities and displays. My thanks go out to all the volunteers and organizers of this event, with special thanks to the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce for making this yearly event such a success.

W

elcome to the 7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival! Please enjoy your visit, we have compiled a list of activities and their times so that you can see as much of the festival as possible. The event continues to grow and we are very thankful for all of the sponsors and participants who have helped with this year’s festival. On behalf of the business community of Cloverdale, the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce would like to make your visit memorable and wish you many happy returns! Lyle MacMillan, Cloverdale BIA president and Brian Young, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce president

Sincerely, Dianne L. Watts Mayor

Nature has bestowed on British Columbia the optimum climate and growing conditions for producing one of her most delicious, distinctive, healthful and versatile fruits: blueberries.

BRITISH COLUMBIA BLUEBERRY COUNCIL For information on the industry, health or recipes, contact: T: (604) 864 2117 | F: (604) 864 2197 E: info@bcblueberry.com | www.bcblueberry.com

hy do we love the blueberry so? Of course, we all know about its health benefits. Researchers call them a “superfruit.” With their high antioxidant levels they have been proven to slow down aging and reduce cell damage. they contain condensed tannins which means they help provent urinary tract infections and have a natural compound linked to reducing eyestrain. So mabye we love blueberries for their health benefits. Or maybe it’s because of their versatility. they can be eaten fresh or frozen. Boiled, mashed, pureed and baked. Put into pies, cakes, squares, crumbles, cobblers, salads, breads, jams, jellies and syrups. They go on top of pancakes, waffles, ice cream, even meat dishes. They’re the first to be picked off the party fruit tray and the favouirte of kids and adults alike. But most likely, we love them becauase of their taste. The blueberry is easy to eat and refreshingly simple. Just wash and you’ve got yourself an instant edible delight. It really is an incredible food. SO it goes to follow that one of the best little communities in Canada would pay tribute to this fruit with an annual Blueberry Festival. We are excited to bring you a full listing of events and some of the festival highlights wihtin these pages. Be sure to check out the businesses who have made this supplement and this festival possible, and odn’t forget to thank your local BIA and Chamber representatives for putting this amazing event together. These pages have all you need to know to make your Blueberry Festival experience memorable. Pack up the kids, bring an empty belly and come one, come all, to the 7th Annual Blueberry Festival!

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

Blueberry festival seizes bounty - and local spirit Celebrate the 7th annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival Aug. 14-15 with a variety of events to suit your tastes

T

he Cloverdale Blueberry Festival just might be the ultimate community event. It celebrates the abundance of locally-grown berries with food and festivities – all while while capitalizing on a bounty of local events that demonstrate Cloverdale’s irrepressible community spirit. Along with blueberries galore, the mid-August celebration features a classic car show and pie eating contests, an arts festival, BMX demonstrations, live music and more. “It’s driven by volunteers,” says Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association. The BIA partners with the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, along a host of other local organizations and volunteers, to put on the blueberry festival. “This is the epitome of a community event. We bring in as many groups as possible to do their events,” Orazietti says. Clubs include the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6, which hosts a blueberry pancake breakfast and barbecue, the Cloverdale Rotary Club, which also hosts a barbecue, as well as the Lions Club, local soccer teams, and even local Beavers and Scouts. The 7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival Aug. 14 to 15 promises to be bigger and better this year, with new events like the antique tractor pull at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, where pre-1960 tractors will compete over the course of two days. The pull area starts at the west end of the grandstand and finishing close to the winners’ circle. The two-day Blueberry Antique Tractor Pull also features a barbecue and live music. This year’s festivities also feature returning favourites, like the Family Zone at Clover Square Village Mall, where all sorts of activities are going on all day long on the festival’s main day, Saturday Aug. 14. Along with BMX stunt shows, blueberry pancake breakfast and a barbecue (hosted by the Cloverdale Lions Club), there are pie eating contests, square dancing and even a talent showcase. Local country vocalist Danica Danielsen, a rising star, is among the performers lined up for the event.

Other Family Zone attractions include a fun zone for the kids, an antique tractor display and Cinemazoo – an animal agency, which is among the exhibitors who will be setting up displays and booths in the Family Zone. Face painting, balloons and blueberry tattoos are also part of the activities planned for kids. Also on Saturday is the 5th annual Blueberry Art Festival, taking place across Highway 10 at Surrey Museum Plaza. The festival includes a juried artwalk and a craft fair. Some of Surrey’s most talented artists will be showing and selling their work. There’s also going to be an entertainment stage featuring programming lined up by the Arts Council of Surrey. Blueberry sellers and other vendors will be on hand, including the United Church. The vendor market is located at 176 Street and 56A Avenue. Of course, the main event is the Surrey Show N’ Shine, a car show modeled after the Langley Cruise In. Muscle cars, vintage trucks, antique autos and lovingly-restored classics – from hot rods to motorcycles – will be taking over several streets in historic downtown Cloverdale. Entrants’ vehicles will be organized according to category, in different sections along 176 and 176A streets. SPEED Channel’s Brett “The Big Schwag” Wagner – an alumnus of TV’s Monster Garage – is once again performing MC duties at the event, running 9 a.m. to to 3 p.m., with awards given out between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. There’ll be live entertainment featuring classic rock at Hawthorne Square. Formerly known as the Pacific Highway Show & Shine, the event has been re-branded with the Surrey stamp. The organizers, who also work on the massive Langley Cruise In – taking a hiatus this year – want it to become Surrey’s signature car event. Also new this year is Cruise to the Beach, organized by the Coasters Car Club. After the Show N’ Shine’s awards presentations wrap up at about 5 p.m, participating drivers will climb into their vintage vehicles and head south to White Rock, where they’ll rally at Semiahmoo Park at East Beach on Marine Drive.

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

Don’t miss the fresh-baked blueberry pie W hat blueberry festival would be complete without a fresh piece of blueberry pie? Thanks to the Cloverdale United Church, yyou can eat a little slice of heaven while at this year’s festival. The United Church has been running the pie booth for the last three or four years, ye figures pie booth co-ordinator co May Taylor. Taylo The pies sell like . . . well, like fresh bluef berry pie should sell at a blueberry ber festival. Last La year, the th United Church volunteers v made and sold more than t 100. Tay l o r laughs lau when asked if they ask use a top secret recipe. recipe “Yes it is,� she says. “But if you buy our cookbook while cookbo you’re there, the th blueberry pie recipe is inside!� inside It takes a lot of blueberries to blu feed a festival. Th Thee pie bakers bake gather a whopping 100 pounds of blueberries. Taylor says they get some berries donated, they pick some and they pay for some. The sheer number of volunteers to co-ordinate the booth is impressive. They have roughly 15 bakers who

make the pies. They need people to set up booths, man the cashier, run back and forth to the church for more pies, as well as servers and cleaners. In total, Taylor figures it takes 40 or 50 people to make the pie sale operation run smoothly. For a small church of roughly 100 families, that’s a lot of work. So why does the United Church sign on every year to help make this festival even more delicious? “We noticed one year there was nowhere you could go buy a pie and eat it,� Taylor recalls. “It’s a blueberry festival, so why not come Pie for sale at last year’ and enjoy a piece of s festival. pie?� Church members started talking about it and decided this would be a great opportunity for them. Not only do they satisfy people with a freshly baked piece of pie, contribute to making the festival better and do a bit of fundraising for church activities, they also get a chance to meet lots of people in the community. Taylor says it’s always a great social time. And it has become one of the must-have moments of the annual festival for any avid festival-goer. “The people come looking for us now,� Taylor shares. This year, they will again be set up somewhere in the vicinity of the Surrey Museum. Just follow the crowds and you’ll find the pies.

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. To prepare the topping: in a medium-sized bowl, combine oats, 1/4 cup of the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon. Add butter; between fingers rub butter with dry ingredients to form coarse crumbs, stir in pecans. In a large bowl, toss blueberries and apples with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Pour blueberry-apple mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit. Bake until apples are tender and topping is golden, about 50 minutes.

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

For fun, for prize, come eat a whole pie It just wouldn’t be a foodthemed festival without a pie eating contest. And the annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival does not disappoint in this regard. Be sure to check out this entertaining event in downtown Cloverdale. The pie-eating contest is coordinated by Carolyn Orazietti, though she says for this event, she’s better known as ‘The Pie Lady’. “The weirdest moments happen at the pie eating contest,” Orazietti states. She has stories that range from a kid with a blueberry stuck so far up his nose – he was trying to pick it out with his finger – to teenage girls that start the competition and then realize they don’t want to look like pigs so they only take a few dainty bites. You get real “Christmas card material,” Orazietti says. The images are an “absolute riot,” with blueberry stained faces, bits of pie crust in hair, slimy goop everywhere and contestants dressed in bright yellow City of Surrey garbage bags. “It’s so much fun, and so popular,” Orazietti exclaims. And it’s something that people don’t tend to forget. Orazietti still remembers years ago, watching her cousin eat a blueberry pie in a pie eating contest. The contest is sponsored by IGA,

which donates pies for the contest as well as the winner’s prize of a blueberry pie and gift certificate. Orazietti says it’s almost a shame to use such beautiful pies; they always look perfect and are made with fat and fresh BC blueberries. They look the peak of pie perfection, and in an instant are horribly mangled as an entire face plunges into its gooey blue depths. “It’s hilarious,” Orazietti says.

The pie contest has been a staple of the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival since its inception seven years ago. And the pie contest’s legacy? “So far, somebody’s thrown up every year,” Orazietti says with a laugh. She recalls one year, she went up to one young contestant who still had a whole pile of pie in his pan. Orazietti told him he’d have to eat that if he wanted to try and

win the competition, and the audience all yelled “ewww!” That’s when she found out the boy had just thrown up the pie back into the pie plate. The event typically runs with three sessions, 12 pies a time for a total of 36 contestants. They usually judge the event by time but one contestant seems to keep coming back and winning every year. So this time, organizers are

planning to run an adult and kid’s competition. Given the popularity of this contest, Orazietti recommends coming 30 minutes before the start of the competition if you want to take part. Event Details: The pie eating contest happens at the Clover Square Show Stage at 10:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 14

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

The mighty blueberry

B.C. one of the leading producers of blueberries world-wide Debbie Etsell, acting executive director of the BC Blueberry Council, just cannot say enough good things about the mighty blueberry. This small berry packs a powerful punch, and Etsell says the more research done on this fruit, the more benefits it’s found to have. “It’s one of the healthiest fruits and it’s fun to eat,” Etsell says. “No peeling, no pitting and no slicing!” Just wash and go, these dark blue berries can be eaten raw or in a bowl of ice cream. They go in pies, smoothies, cakes, crepes, and on top of waffles, With the research proving its health benefits, this tiny berry is on the rise to becoming one of Canada’s most popular fruit choices. Etsell says while it should be labeled a health food, folks at the BC Blueberry Council like to call it nature’s candy because of its taste. The BC Blueberry Council’s mandate is to promote, research, provide industry relations and grower education. There’s more than 650 hardworking blueberry farmers working in B.C., all growing high bush blueberries. The other type of blueberries grown in Canada are low bush berries and they

are primarily found on Canada’s east coast. B.C. grows 95 per cent of the high bush blueberries in all of Canada, and we’re the second largest growers of blueberries in the world next to Michigan. Etsell reports 89 million pounds of blueberries come out of B.C. farms each year, making it a prime export product. Shipments go across Canada and into the continental North American market. “The little growing B.C. blueberry farms are big business now,” Etsell states. “The rest of the world is recognizing it too.” Blueberry farms can be found right from Richmond through to Hope, with Abbotsford having a larger percentage of the farms. This is a good growing zone because of our moderate tempertures and enough warm days to allow the berries to sweeten as they ripen. The soil is also very adaptable. Consumers are starting to pay attention to the blueberry’s benefits, and that is only going to bode well for B.C. farmers. The BC Blueberry Council encourages people to help support B.C. farms and Etsell says events like the Blueberry Festival are a great way to promote both the fruit and the farmer. “People should look at buying locally” Etsell says. “It’s good to get out there and support your local blueberry farmers.”

Nothing says summer like fresh fruit. Local farmers will be at the festival selling their goods.

Did you know?

Berries are harvested two to four times usually every 10 to 14 days between July and September. Berries for the fresh market are hand-picked – oneby-one from the bush! Berries for the processed market are harvested using self-propelled harvesters. More growers are moving towards machine picking because of the cost of labour relative to the price of blueberries. Blueberries are deciduous plants which lose their leaves. Fall leaf colour ranges from yellow to crimson to dark red. Leaf colour also changes in early spring and summer after periods of cool temperature to dull purple over dark green background. BC Blueberry Council
