Legion receives federal grant Renovations should start in the next two to three months By Lauren Collins Renovations to the dated Cloverdale Legion will be going forward in the coming months. The legion applied for the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which is part of Canada’s 150th anniversary celebration. The program is for projects that “celebrate our shared heritage, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for Canadians,” according to the website. The federal government program plans to invest $150 million over two years (with $46.3 million in Western Canada) to support projects that rehabilitate existing community facilities, including legions. Strong preference will be given to projects that are undertaking meaningful upgrades to existing cultural and community facilities; upgrades that will provide long-term benefits to a community, will be viewed with pride by a community and are recognized as a lasting legacy from Canada 150. Glenn Thomsen, the chairman of the legion’s building renovation committee, said he was told about the grant by city councillor Dave Woods.
Thomsen said the legion had done a survey of the membership, which indicated that the members wanted to stay at their current location, and use some of their reserve fund to “renovate and modernize the building.” Thomsen said with the mail-out survey to the legion’s 1,800 members, they learned that 67 per cent of the respondents wanted to stay at the location, while using 50 per cent of their own building reserve money. “So with that in mind, and this government grant coming out, we applied for a grant. We had a budget of $310,000 and the grant basically allowed for the federal government to fund 50 per cent of the total budget of the renovation.” In the end, the budget was altered a bit because of some “ineligible renovations” that wasn’t accepted, according to Thomsen. “The total budget was reduced to $304,00 and hence the federal government’s grant is $152,000.” The way the grant is structured means Branch 6 must spend its portion of the budget first, which they can start anytime, but the federal government money isn’t available until See MODERN DECOR / Page 3
Portables for Katzie The elementary school got five portables over the summer holidays in order to keep up with the growing population By Lauren Collins Katzie Elementary, which opened in April of 2014, already has five new portables. The portables were added over the summer to accommodate the new students. Built to ease the overcrowding in the area, Katzie Elementary at 6887 194A Street was the largest school in the district based on capacity when it opened. On opening day, the school had 475 students, but by last September, there were 580 students. Now going into the 2015/2016 school year, Katzie Elementary is anticipating about 650 stuSee MORE STUDENTS / Page 6

Cloverdale’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 will be undergoing a total of $304,000 in interior and exterior renovations. The costs will be split in half with the federal government as part of a community infrastructure grant program coinciding with the country’s 150 anniversary celebrations.
More modern decor From page one
April 2016. The legion has a year to submit the invoices to the federal government. Thomsen said the building is “very sound,” but it needs to be cosmetically modernized. “We have to remember the building is 60 years old and there’s been no renovations to it in the last 60 years.” The current building at 17567 57 Avenue reopened in 1957 after the original building completely burned down in August 1956. “We’re going to do things like new floor coverings, new dance floor, renovating of the kitchen, we’re going to modernize the bar, and renovate all three washrooms,” Thomsen said. “We’re going to run a new sewer hook-up because we have issues with the sewer hook-up.” They also plan to give the exterior a more modern décor. “We will be getting assistance from Surrey City Development Corporation and the City of Surrey to give us some ideas as to what kind of exterior would be suitable with Cloverdale West.”
“We have to remember the building is 60 years old and there’s been no renovations to it in the last 60 years.” - Glenn Thomsen members won’t even notice they’re being done. “Our whole intent is to try and keep the legion completely operational while we’re doing this. At most, maybe two or three days of closure, but minimal inconvenience to the members.” Thomsen hopes renovations will begin within the next two to three months and be complete in about two years.

n a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003. While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. will match that terrible summer. You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that. Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that.

dents. According to Surrey School District communication services manager Doug Strachan, most of the five new portables will be utilized, but he added “a couple (portables) may be there in anticipation.� Strachan also said the school district
expects it will be adding two to three new portables at Katzie Elementary every year. A request for a new elementary school in the area has been in the district’s top 10 priorities for their five-year capital plan for the Ministry of Education. According to Strachan, the request dates back to 2013, which was the year before Katzie even opened.
Strachan said the boundary for Katzie was moved in an attempt to ease overcrowding, but they are still “playing catchup.� “The reality is we need another school.� A similar situation occurred in September 2009 when Hazelgrove Elementary in Cloverdale opened with four portables already on the property.

Dancers head to Reisa Two tap dancers based in Cloverdale make Team Canada By Lauren Collins Come out and support two local dancers heading to Germany. Tap dancers Maya Zalo, 13, and Shayleen Dignall, 18, are headed to Germany to compete with Team Canada at the International Dance Organization (IDO) World Tap Dance Championships 2015. The IDO has a membership of more than 90 nations, representing more than 250,000 dancers from six continents. There’s also world championships for ballet, jazz and lyrical, modern and contemporary, show dance and hip-hop at six different locations around the world. The tap world championships are held in Reisa, Germany. There are seven to nine judges from different countries. Zalo and Dignall leave for Germany at the end of November. The competition runs from Dec. 1 to 5. Dignall said the teams hope to perform their routines multiple times. “When we get there, we compete it and if we make it to the next round, that’s semi-finals and if we make it to the next round, that’s finals,” Dignall says. “So we hope to compete our dance three or four times. If we only get to do it once, we didn’t do too well.” The girls found out they made Team Canada in May and they have been practicing at a studio in Langley since July. The team rehearses every second weekend for two hours on Saturday and Sunday until October, when the practices are scheduled every weekend leading up to the trip. The hours are long, according to Dignall. Zalo said she was excited when she found out she made the team. “It was like one in the morning. I heard my mom’s phone go off and I was like, ‘Is that it?’ because I had been waiting for it. I looked at (the email) and it was like, ‘Congratulations!’” Zalo is in the junior group. She has been tap dancing for 10 years, but she said it can sometimes
be a challenge. Dignall has been dancing for the past 13 years, but she has only been in tap for the past seven or eight years. And like Zalo, Dignall was just as excited when she found out she made the team. “I had a spare in the morning, so I hadn’t checked my email because I’d slept in, so my dad phoned me and he was like, ‘Check you emails, check your emails!’” The girls aren’t the first dancers from the studio to make it to Team Canada, though. “Being at Dance Xpressions for 13 years, I’ve seen how many successful people come out of it. I’ve seen people go to Germany,” Dignall said. “I just hope that I can do that as well, especially with going to Germany and hopefully I can come back with a gold medal.” For Zalo, she just feels honoured to represent her country. “I want to try to do some of the other teams because there’s hip-hop and lyrical,” Zalo said. “I don’t know if I would make it for those ones, but I would love to try.” Their studio, Dance Xpressions, is holding a Pub Night at Rusty’s Neighbourhood Pub (17770 Highway 10) on Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20, which includes dinner and a drink. They can be purchased at the event or from the studio during the first week of classes. There will be a silent auction and a 50/50 draw. All proceeds go to help support Zalo and Dignall with their overseas trip. Dance Xpressions studio director Keeley MacDonald said the studio has the fundraiser every year to help with travelling costs for competitions, but this year they are happy to raise funds for Zalo and Dignall. “We have not set a goal, but it would be so great if we could raise between $500 and $800 per dancer.” The studio is also looking for more donations for the silent auction. For more information on that call 604-574-2277.

Meet the candidates Four hopefuls vying to make history in Cloverdale-Langley City By Lauren Collins With the federal election in just under seven weeks, some of the candidates are trying to get the public’s attention and vote. In the new electoral district of Cloverdale-Langley City, which takes in Cloverdale, Langley City and a sliver of Langley Township, there is no incumbent. So far, candidates from four parties are each hoping to make history Oct. 19 by winning the seat: Conservative Dean Drysdale, Liberal John Aldag, the Green Party’s Scott Anderson and NDP candidate Rebecca Smith. According to Drysdale’s website, he has always been interested in politics. He joined the Conservative Party as a teenager and worked on numerous campaigns and served in the Prime Minister’s Office in the 1980s. He also served on Langley Township council for two consecutive terms from 1996 to 2002. He has lived in Langley since 1975. Drysdale is a business man and a Kwantlen Polytechnic instructor. He has become a frequent presence at the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce events since winning his party’s nomi-
nation in the new riding. Aldag has lived in six provinces and two territories because of his 31-year career with Parks Canada. He was lived in the Fraser Valley for the past nine years. He has worked with Tourism Langley. For the past several years, Aldag has been manager of the Fort Langley National Historic Site. He also served as president of Flip City Gymnastics and as head of the Fort Langley BIA. On June 21, Aldag ran and walked all the way around the new riding, using the longest day of the year to complete the approximately 50-km journey. Aldag, who lives in Langley Township, said he and his team have reached close to 25,000 residents while out door-knocking this summer. He added that he has been attending community events, local chamber of commerce meetings and neighbourhood association meetings. Anderson, a construction manager with Bosa Construction, is a long-time Surrey resident. His family calls Cloverdale home, according to his profile on the Green Party of Canada website.
Anderson has been interested in environmental issues since he was a teenager. He kicked off his election campaign in July, spending Canada Day on a parade float to roam through Clayton Heights. He handed out pamphlets to voters and candy to kids. Anderson said he’s been to every event in the CloverdaleLangley City riding and he added that he’s made a “big impact.” The NDP’s Smith is the owner of Valshiva Consulting, which works with corporate and nonprofit clients. She is also former executive director of the B.C. Psychological Association and a founder and past president of BullyFree BC. Smith is also holding coffee meetings every Saturday leading up to the election. The meetings take place in local coffee shops throughout the electoral district. The meetings are meant to discuss what’s important to the people living in the riding. Since May, Smith said she has been attending all the community events that she can. Smith has lived in Cloverdale since 2010, but she grew up in Langley. -with files from Black Press

difference between listing in the spring Edith Katronis or winter especially if you are repurchasing. What is important is that your home shows well, is staged, priced well and has a great marketing strategy. It will then sell for top dollar no matter what the season is.
misbehaving and not listening. Should I find another or give them another chance? LOL I love this question as it has definitely happened to us! We have a few children with special needs and behavioural challenges. I am SO proud of our staff, led by manager Nicole for the work they have done and the progress these kids have made over the years! But occasionally when staff sit down with parents the kids take that opportunity and run with it . Or they realize they have an audience and make the most of it! Your best bet is to make time to observe the centre as it operates. If the disturbances are still frequent and the staff seems unable to cope, then make your decision!

factors have a significant A: Lifestyle influence on immunity: getting 7-9
hours of good quality sleep each night, managing stress, and washing your hands with regular soap (not antibacterial soap, as it can contribute Dr. Scarlett Cooper ND to antimicrobial resistance). Nourishing your body also increases defense against germs: consuming adequate protein, colourful vegetables and fruits, and minimizing refined carbohydrates, which lower immune function. Immune-boosting supplements, in particular probiotics and herbs such as Astragalus, Echinacea, and garlic can also be very helpful. Optimizing vitamin D levels also plays a significant role in boosting our immune systems.

A Mortgage-Burning Q: Want Party? Five ways to do it sooner. faster you can pay off your mortgage, A: The the more you’ll save in interest and the faster you can build wealth. Here are five ways to do it sooner: 1. Add a bit to your monthly payment. Finding an extra $50 each month could shave years - and thousands of dollars - Feisal Panjwani, AMP off your mortgage. 2. Make a yearly pre-payment. Put a lump sum on your mortgage each year, eg. tax refund or bonus. There is a much greater impact when made early in the mortgage. 3. Increase your income? Increase your payments. Just pretend your income didn’t increase and maintain your usual lifestyle. 4. Choose bi-weekly payments. Instead of paying monthly 12 times per year, pay every two weeks for 26 payments, giving you one more payment each year. 5. Stay informed. Don’t let your mortgage go on auto pilot.

It’s a faster boot & shut down time, more secure features & will be supported by M /S for longer than Carole previous operating systems. What about the bugs I’ve heard about? Bugs are a real issue particularly if you have an older PC running W7. Wait for at least 3-4 months to let the bugs & driver issues get ironed out. What about my mother who is running Vista? There’s no free upgrade to W10 from Vista or XP. You can buy a product key from M/S. Do you advise upgrading to W10 or leaving well enough alone? At this point you could be getting glitches or it may not support your drivers. Check to see if there will be compatibility issues with the programs you’re running before you consider upgrading.

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 Parveen concerns of overexposure. 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.

Surrey’s Civic Treasures Roger Bose announced as one of the city’s Civic Treasures A historian, a reporter and musician, and a couple with a passionate belief in Surrey as an arts hub have been announced as Surrey’s 2015 Civic Treasures. Roger Bose, Alex Browne and Cora and Don Li-Leger are to be honoured at the Surrey Arts Centre on Oct. 6, at the annual Business and the Arts Reception. The award honours individuals who have achieved excellence in the production of the arts and/or made significant contributions to the development of arts and heritage in Surrey and beyond. Each of the recipients “exemplify the true spirit of a Civic Treasure,” Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the public art adRoger Bose visory committee, said in a release. “Their contributions to the arts and heritage communities in Surrey are significant and form part of the city’s cultural legacy. For this, we are truly grateful.” Bose, a lifelong Surrey resident, is noted as a source of historical knowledge in the city, particularly Cloverdale; an active volunteer with such organizations as the Surrey Historical Society; and an instrumental research contributor to an upcoming book about the Bose Family Farm. Browne – who is a longtime arts and entertainment reporter at the Peace Arch News, a sister paper to the Reporter – is being cited for his decades of promoting and supporting artists and new arts initiatives in Surrey; his creative efforts and thoughtful critiques in print; and his own dedication as a musician and actor. Cora and Don Li-Leger have a “passion for local Surrey art and artists (that) is matched only by their love of global contemporary art,” an online summary notes. Described by supporters as “an unending source of cultural knowledge and inspiration,” the Li-Legers are “tremendous role models and mentors for many local emerging artists.” -Black Press
