A wave of support for food drive By Jennifer Lang A wide net of support from every corner of Cloverdale helped ensure an annual food drive that assists hundreds was a success, whether it was collecting donations – or sorting and assembling food hampers. The massive volunteer effort meant the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program was once again able to take care of those in need, says Kevin Lunder, who is program lead along with his wife, Trish. Pacific Community Church acts as the nerve centre each December, when an army of volunteers sorts and assembles hundreds of food hampers for the non-denominational, seasonal relief program. “We were overwhelmed with the
amount of volunteer help that came through the warehouse this year,” Lunder said. “Hockey teams, soccer teams, Scouts, Girl Guides, church groups, families, local small businesses, [the] RCMP, Save on Foods, Kwantlen College, the rec center, Fraser Downs, Sources Employment Services Centre, the list goes on.” The 2014 campaign assisted 348 adults and 279 children (including 78 teens), for a total of 627 Cloverdale residents. The hampers contain grocery and personal care items. Recipients also receive gift and grocery cards valued at $25 or $75, depending on See MORE THAN / Page 3

Medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti said it’s remarkable to have 10 care home outbreaks active simultaneously as that’s as many as Fraser recorded in the entire flu season last year. “It’s quite a heavy year,” she said Monday, noting there have also been eight earlier facility outbreaks that have since cleared up. Flu season started early with residential outbreaks beginning in late September and early October. The bugs circulating had plenty of op-

Tens of thousands of dollars in cash and food donations are needed in order to assemble enough hampers to meet the community’s growing need.

do the heavy lifting when it comes to collecting non-perishables. Clayton Heights Secondary almost doubled the amount of food raised over last year, Lunder said. The school’s woodworking class donated custom-made wooden toys. The hamper program was founded by Jacob Schuurman and his wife Ida, who ran the program for 17 years. Kevin and Trish Lunder have acted as program leads for the past four years. The Lunders expressed deep gratitude to everyone who got involved this year, and included special thanks to the CCHP team (see “Ending 2014 on a Happy Note,” Jan. 1), including toy room coordinator Lisa Vandermeer.

Forget resolutions: Try joy T
he start of a new year is often a time of reflection. Did you accomplish what you set out to do last year? Do you have any regrets? This is also a time when people tend to beat themselves up for not being where they want to be. This perspective is negative and no way to start off a new year. It’s important to focus on the good things that happen in our lives. Life is a Dawn Carson journey full of ups and downs. All too often people focus on their struggles, disappointments and failures. It can be easier to recall the tough times unless we choose to focus on the great moments, and we all have them. I have found a cool way to focus on good things that happen throughout the year. I call it the ‘Joy Jar’. Find a transparent jar or plastic container and put it in an area where you will see it often.
Every time something good, exciting, fun or inspiring happens in your life, write it down on a piece of paper with the date and put it in your Joy Jar. It doesn’t matter how big or small the event or experience is. If it feels significant or special to you, write it down. This jar of joy will be a record of all the wonderful moments in your year. A transparent jar is best because you get to watch it fill up as the year progresses. You can decorate the jar or use coloured paper to write on as well. Then, on New Year’s Eve, dump the jar out and have fun reading. It’s amazing how much happens in a year. Now you’ll be able to see just how fabulous your year actually was! This is a great practice, because it allows you to celebrate the year of good things instead of focusing on the negatives that have occurred, shifting your energy to the positive for the start of a new year. If you are in a relationship you can have one jar for yourself personally and one jar to share. Some moments you may want to cherish on your own. Others are great to share and celebrate with your partner. There is no

To the editor; (“Horgan on LNG, climate and farmland,” B.C. Views, Dec. 18) Tom Fletcher’s interview with opposition NDP leader John Horgan left me shaking my head in disbelief at the answers he gave. He certainly is no W.A.C. Bennett. He hasn’t a clue about how business works, or any vision for the future of B.C. As a former premier of B.C., W.A.C. Bennett would say, “He could not run a peanut stand, even if the peanuts were free.” It is no surprise that the NDP spends so little time in government, and so much time in opposition. In answer to the question about the B.C. Liberal Party building the Site C dam on the Peace River, he talks about adding $8 to $12 billion onto the backs of taxpayers. Premier Bennett built both Site A and Site B on the Peace River while at the same time paying off the provincial debt of B.C. left by previous governments. How did he do it? He negotiated a long term contract with the Americans for the surplus power not needed by B.C. at this time, plus down stream benefits accrued to the Americans, and got the total amount in cash. With this cash, he was able to pay for these two dams. If there is not enough money to pay for the Site C Dam, B.C. Hydro bonds could be sold to raise enough money to pay for this dam, and then redeem the value of these bonds through the sale of the hydro power created by the Site C Dam. There is no need to increase the provincial debt load. It is too little and too late to wait until this power is needed to start building this dam. It takes a long time to settle all of the land claims, and get this dam into production and making money. Any delay of this project will result in brownouts and even blackouts, which has happened to electrical power in the U.S.A. The longer we wait, the more expensive this project gets. We do not want that, do we?

Winter home fire risk prompts warning By Jennifer Lang New data suggests the risk of a home fire is higher in the winter, prompting the Surrey Fire Service – and the City of Surrey – to remind residents to take extra precautions during cold weather, especially when cooking or using space heaters. An analysis of more than 15,000 fires in British Columbia reported between 2009 and 2013 shows a fire is 14 per cent more likely to occur in December or January compared to July and August. Additionally, nearly 75 percent of fires take place in residential structures. “Based on this new data, we know the risk of fire is higher in the winter and that most structure fires occur where people live and sleep,” Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said in an announcement. “It’s important that our residents are aware of the risks and that they protect themselves by taking extra safety precautions this winter.”

having a working smoke alarm increases your chances of survival by more than 70 per cent, so it’s important to check them regularly.” Surrey residents can sign up for a free smoke alarm inspection and installation at www.surrey.ca/freesmokealarm, or request a free HomeSafe home fire inspection by calling 604-543-6780. Other winter safety precautions include: · Installing smoke alarms on every floor and testing them regularly. · Monitoring candles when lit and never leaving them unattended. · Never leaving the kitchen unattended when food is being cooked. · Keeping space heaters away from flammable materials (curtains, decorations etc.) · Using extension cords properly and never overloading them.
Most fires are caused by human failing – such as being asleep or distracted, – and by the misuse of materials, including overheated cooking oil, or using equipment like fireplaces or heaters. Space heaters and other heating equipment are responsible for 11 per cent of the fires in the analyzed data. That’s exceeded only by smoking materials (18 per cent) and cooking equipment (29 per cent). Over the five-year span studied, eight people died in B.C. and 43 were injured in fires caused by heating equipment. Heating equipment fires were three times more likely to occur between November and March than at other times of the year. “Even one death or injury is too much, and we know from our analysis that we can expect a death in one in every 83 residential fires, and injuries in one in every 13,” Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said. “The good news is there are many things people can do to make their homes safer.

Cloverdale Minor Hockey’s Atom A2 Colts celebrate a gold medal performance in Abbotsford late last month.
Colts bolt, claim gold A pair of local Atom hockey teams closed out 2014 on a high note. Cloverdale Minor Hockey’s Atom A2 Colts won gold at the recent Abbotsford Atom rep tournament. They went 3-0 in first three games with two shut outs. The team had a win in the semi finals with 8-0, and took gold in a 4-3 win against Salmon Arm. They were undefeated in the tournament, and demonstrated outstanding teamwork and effort, according to coach Jag Bal. They played against teams from Salmon Arm, Seattle, Portland, Abbotsford and Coquitlam, scoring 23 goals and only letting in five. And congratulations also go out to Cloverdale’s Atom A3s for winning the Vancouver Minor Hockey Association Canuck Place Charity Tournament.

The local year in review Part II of our annual look back at what made news in Cloverdale July • Using words like “neglectful,” “insulting,” and “a mess,” representatives from the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and Cloverdale BIA stage a mock sod-turning at the site of a longdelayed revitalization project, the former Cloverdale Mall site. They’re venting frustration that the city-led residential and commercial project could take another 10 years to get underway. Meanwhile, pedestrians on 57 Avenue stumble over gravel where sidewalk should be and the site is “a vacant mess,” of rubble and refuse, says thenChamber president Brian Young,
whose complaints attract a deal of media attention.
August • The B.C. Day long weekend marks the end of an era. The Clova Cinema closes down after 67 years with a show stopping final weekend. There’s a performance by an ABBA tribute act, a midnight screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a scavenger hunt and finally, an auction of memorabilia. Then it was time for one last movie: Dead Reckoning, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lizabeth Scott. It was the film shown on opening night, May 26, 1947.
remediation process is ongoing at the Cloverdale mall site, but the city’s partner on the promised redevelopment says phase one will be going ahead as soon as environmental concerns are cleared up. Townline Housing Solutions plans to start marketing the project in early 2015. • As the school labour dispute continues, Education minister Peter Fassbender re-announces a new, $55 million high school in Clayton will be completed by spring 2017, providing 1,500 new student spaces in the area.

Man survives train collision on 160 St.
September • Surrey’s 70,000 public school students are ‘anxious and ready to go’ as the teachers’ strike comes to an end.
By Kevin Diakiw A Langley man is lucky to be alive after colliding with a train in Cloverdale last week. At about 3 p.m. on Dec. 29, the man was heading northbound in a 2014 Hyundai Sonata on 160 Street at Colebrook Road. He failed to completely yield to a stop sign at a railway crossing, which was not blocked by the usual railway arm. He continued over the track when a two-car train, travelling about 55 km/h, struck his vehicle. The man suffered minor injuries, was transported hospital and was released. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be contributing factors. Police say the man will be getting a citation for failure to obey a railway stop.
• The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society starts work on a bypass through Cloverdale that will eliminate cancellations of its weekend passenger runs due to freight movements. The project, estimated to be about $1 million in scope but will be much lower thanks to sponsors, involves building a 2,000-foot long section of completely new, dedicated track. The allvolunteer railway and heritage attraction has been sidelined as much as 50 per cent of the time this summer.

October • It’s a full house over at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, where a record 2,011 students have enrolled for the current school year. An extended school day is in place for the fourth year in a row to help deal with the cramped conditions in a building designed for 1,400, as are shared lockers for two grades and classes in eight portables. Clayton Heights Secondary is likewise full at 1,283 students, with 10 portables at a school built for 1,000, and extended days for all Grade 12s and some 10s and 11s. • Motorists can expect closures on the Cst. Roger Pierlet overpass to slow down traffic for the next six months, as a Highway 15 construction project to repair the southbound portion of the structure gets underway. Traffic is down to single lanes in both directions on the overpass, a four-lane rail crossing on 176
Street south of Highway 10 in Cloverdale. • With November’s civic elections looming, members of Cloverdale’s Chamber of Commerce are being asked to cast their vote in another ballot - whether to join the Vancouver Board of Trade. Then-president Brian Young says the Vancouver organization has a lot to offer. “This is about a business organization looking at the best connections to move the members’ initiatives forward,” he said. The vote is later called off, pending the AGM. Acting president Brock Lazaruk says the idea has not been shelved, but will be discussed at a later date. • Surrey’s civic election candidates spar in Cloverdale, honing in on local issues such as the city-owned fairgrounds, building phase
two of the Surrey Museum, and the “unmitigated disaster” in Clayton Heights, home to parking problems, coach houses and illegal suites. “It would be simple if we could send a bylaw officer over there and say, ‘everybody out,’ However we have young families in there,” Surrey First mayoral candidate Linda Hepner said, adding mortgages in some cases were negotiated with secondary suites in mind. “We must come up with a viable transition plan.”
November • Langley’s Dean Drysdale claims the Conservative party’s nomination in the new federal riding of Cloverdale-Langley City, winning the third ballot over Mike Garisto of Cloverdale, and former B.C. Liberal MLA Dave Hayer, also a Cloverdale resident. A few days before the vote, the Conservative Party told candidates
An Invitation A while back I got a letter from a former student. She thanked me for sending her a note at a crucial time in her life. In fact, it motivated her to go quit a job she didn’t really like, and go back to school. That incident made me think that a small gesture by one person can sometimes make a big difference in another person’s life. Often we stifle such an impulse to reach out. We think, “What difference can a note or a phone call make? Besides, she’ll probably think I’m being an old busy body.” For my former student that one note had significant effect. This is one of the ways God works in His world. As a Christian, I believe that God’s Spirit prompts us, and we do well to pay heed.
new year, 2015. It’s a time of reflection about life — its purpose and value — and about the future. So, today I would like to make a small but important suggestion to you, the person reading this ad. Come join us for one of our church services. Or phone one of our pastors. It may be the initial step toward a beautiful change in your life. You may not earn a degree, but you can gain much more! As Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11: 28) By Sarah Vandergugten

In looking back at what made news in Cloverdale during the past year, certain stories and moments stood out. “We’ve been left behind since 1971.� – Council hopeful Mike Bose (One Surrey), speaking at an all-candidates’ meeting at Shannon Hall. He was responding to a question on the future of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, and pointed out that the original Cloverdale ice arena plan called for two sheets of ice and residents are still waiting. “As a teacher at Lord Tweedsmuir, I’m outraged that the same single sheet of ice and tiny outdoor Greenaway Pool remain the only places for our kids to swim or skate in Cloverdale all these decades later. Now that our unofficial mayor of Clover-

dale, Bill Reid, has passed on, it’s time for all of us as Cloverdale residents to demand better. Disturbingly, it’s the kids in Cloverdale who are getting short shrift in terms of recreational facilities.� – Walter Van Halst, a longtime local resident, teacher and rugby coach, in a Letter to the Editor in October inspired by attending that same forum in the lead up to the Surrey civic election. “It’s not bad if you’re an able-bodied individual, but I have seen several people, both in gurney and also on wheelchair, who have a really tough time negotiating this.� – Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale BIA, explaining why the association is pressing for a sidewalk on the north side of 57 Avenue, next to the Cloverdale West Village (Cloverdale Mall) proj-
ect. Months after crews laid down roads, sidewalks and site servicing, pedestrians crossing the 176 Street bypass must use a gravel pathway bordered by pristine cement curbs. “It’s not to say that the process of merging with the Vancouver Board of Trade is dead. It’s a pretty big decision and we want to make sure we thoroughly go through the process of making sure the members are informed.� – Brock Lazaruk, acting president of the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, after a vote on whether to join forces with the Vancouver Board of Trade is called off. “Even though it is apparently a non-profit society, it bothers me that it isn’t clear that they are asking people to donate food which will then be re-sold.�
– Cloverdale resident Helen Torrance, questioning why a non-profit society that collects food donations in her neighbourhood and issued an urgent appeal didn’t mention the fact that the FairShare Food Services Society operates a store that sells food at a discount to members. “They say all good things must come to an end. On August 2nd, 1996, we began running the Clova Cinema. It has been a wonderful and joyous 17 plus years, with many memories, thanks to all of you supportive patrons. Sometime this year, the curtain will draw and the show will end for good.� – Clova Cinema owner/operator Craig Burghardt delivers the bad news to loyal customers via the March 10, 2014 newsletter, titled The End of an Era.

can just see the headline, “Trainer Justin Currie of Fraser Downs is the leading trainer in Canada!� Ok, Ok, that was after Jan. 1,  when many of the tracks in Canada were not racing, but Justin will take the two wins and the good start in 2015. On the driving side, Travis Bowman, Bill Davis and Ontario based Phil Hudon all had driving doubles on a beautiful B.C. day for racing. Not sure if many people will remember back to Oct. 24, when Travis Tracey finished second with a trotter (Pureform Olympia) to a group of pacers at Fraser Downs and was timed in 1:57.4. Travis had switched Olympia from a lacklustre pacing career to the trot. Owners Cal and Shelley Nyuli were so impressed with that performance that they sent their mare to trainer Gord Remmen in Ontario. Pureform Olympia has won all five of her starts at Flamboro Downs and $17,000. Congratulations to Cal and Shelley for being so patient with the now six-year-old – maybe we will get to see her soon on the big track at Woodbine.

Burnett will be back to perform at Teenfest again this year. Others set to perform include 15-yearold musician Tristan Thompson, whose song Tidal Wave is played on 60-plus radio stations worldwide; singer/ songwriter Ria Jade, 17, who also hosts her own show on Shaw’s

stomach acid. Is this true? Yes! It is a common myth that A: heartburn is caused by excessive stomach acid, when in fact many cases are due to insufficient stomach Dr. Scarlett Cooper ND acid. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which normally prevents food from travelling upward, is sensitive to acid and stays closed when acid is increased, such as after a meal. If a person has low stomach acid, the LES becomes slack, allowing food to travel upward and cause heartburn. Certain foods and large meals can also trigger heartburn. For some people, working with a naturopathic doctor for overall support is a smart solution to identify the cause of digestive concerns and effectively treat you as an individual.

including the ability to kill bacteria, help teeth resist cavities, and strengthen teeth from the effects of acids from foods and bacteria. The controversy of fluoride arose with public water fluoridation and concerns of overexposure. Dr. Emerson Milla When over exposed to fluoride the most common adverse effect is dental fluorosis, which can alter the appearance of a child’s adult teeth when they come in. This is more common in rural areas where the content of the water is not properly regulated and with children who are swallowing too much of their toothpaste during brushing. The optimal water level is about 1.0-0.7mg per liter of water. At these levels it has been shown to help reduce the risk of cavities, especially in young children where the fluoride incorporates into developing teeth making it more resistant to cavities. In Vancouver the local water is not fluoridated so it is important to use toothpaste that contains fluoride, but monitor your children carefully during brushing.

recommends the assessment of infants, by a dentist, within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. The goal is to have your child visit the dentist before there is Dr. Parveen Atwal a problem with his or her teeth. In most cases, a dental exam every six months will let your child’s dentist catch small problems early. This visit is important for the parents to learn how to manage diet, hygiene and the proper use of fluoride to prevent problems. The dental team can show you how to care for your infant’s or toddler’s mouth. This visit also lets parents discuss teething and developmental milestones. It’s also important to bring your child in so that he or she may become familiarized with the dental setting. We look forward to seeing your little one!

in the health of our pets. water has been shown to contain A: Tap bacteria which can be harmful to our pets, especially those with immune issues. It also contains fluoride, which has been known to Jen Pinch cause cancer (in humans and pets!). Bottled water is bad for the environment and could also be nothing more than tap water in plastic! The best bet is filtered water that is changed frequently. The longer water sits out, the less oxygenated it is and pets seem to know this! Cleaning your pets bowl is also important. Molds and bacteria from the air or water itself can cling to the bowl. Consider swapping out that porous plastic for glass or stainless bowl instead! Each animals water requirements are different. A raw fed dog or cat may rarely go to the water bowl because of the high moisture content of their meals. Pets fed dry food need much more water to help break down their food and rehydrate their bodies. Providing clear, clean, filtered water daily is a simple thing you can do to help your pet stay healthy...the little things do make a difference!
