Surrey is a ‘yes’ place

Poet Laureate falls – hard – for Surrey’s creative vibe By Jennifer Lang As writing assignments go, it’s got potential. Take teens and seniors, bring them together for a unique writing experience designed to dig up rich stories about their city, and publish the results as a legacy for themselves, and all of Surrey. On Sept. 26, Renée Saklikar, the city’s first-ever poet laureate, is coming to the Cloverdale Library for Your Story, Your Legacy: Teens and Seniors Write Surrey. Participants will be given writing prompts, with the teens writing about their best – or worst – day in Surrey, and the older participants addressing the topic: I remember when. “Something magic comes when you bring teenagers and people over 60 together, they have such different experiences,” Saklikar says,

adding Cloverdale ought to provide fertile ground for the telling – and sharing – of stories between the generations. “I get so much from ‘I remember when’ – so much has changed – particularly about things that are no longer there: buildings, streets, homes, farms,” she says. With that in mind, Saklikar will be facilitating an upcoming Write Surrey event at Stewart Farm, and another at Progressive Inter-cultural Community Services Society (PICS) for Punjabi-speaking seniors. Since her induction in October 2015, Saklikar has been reaching out through pose and poetry, encouraging the written word through various means, from reading poetry into the official city record at a council meeting to sitting in on a teen poetry blast. “This has been transformative,” she said during a

telephone interview with the Reporter, on a busy day that saw her meeting with educators who work at Surrey’s pre-trial centre, and then back to SFU’s Surrey Centre campus, where she teaches creative writing. While not a resident of Surrey – born in India, she grew up in New Westminster and resides in East Van – Saklikar has discovered something she hadn’t expected about Surrey. “This is a ‘Yes’ place,” she says. “It’s not a ‘no’ place, and I’m thriving on it.” There is an openness to engage in Surrey and a welcoming of all aspects of Surrey life, she says. “There are a lot of headlines out there,” she says. “I’m learning that there is so much more. It’s a lot more layered and complex.” Saklikar was selected by a committee of partner organizations that support the work of Surrey Libraries,

each with their own deep roots within the city. Her tasks include carving out a legacy project, of which the Cloverdale session is part, for the citizens of Surrey that will outlast her term, ending November 2017. Like the city she serves, the award-winning poet is a passionate and engaged writer who is eager to

bring others into the circle, offering poetry readings and writing prompts across the city, and provides manuscript consultations to writers – free, one-onone consultations (Note: Consults for September, October and November are now full.) “She’s really great,” says Carmen Merrells, youth services librarian with Surrey

One of the library’s mandates is to bring the community together. “We talked about what we could do to get teens and See WRITING / Page 3

By Jennifer Lang Feel like playing a little oneon-one or friendly game of pickup but don’t have a hoop, much less a court? Sonrise Church has an invitation for all local basketball enthusiasts. The Cloverdale congregation has built a community basketball court, and everyone is welcome to come and use the space, says Jeremy Wolfram, associate pastor. The church, located at 5588 188 Street, began raising money late last year to build a court that would be open and accessible for the whole community to use. “We believe that it is important for youth and families to have more outdoor spaces like this that are available to them for their enjoyment,” he said. Lead pastor Chris Westby said each year in December, the congregation of 200 begins fundraising to support international relief projects, as well as national and local projects. This year, the suggestion was to do something to benefit kids in the neighbourhood. The church had set up a couple of “ratty baseball nets” in the parking lot, but “they had been broken up by the windstorms of last fall. Kids were coming to our parking lot and were playing on these old nets,” Westby said. “But we figured the community deserves something better.” The new court, located on the east parking lot, boasts everything a regular court has – proper three-point, key and half court lines, plus two adjustable nets that can be raised

It’s bring-your-own ball, and open any time.For now, the outdoor lighting isn’t sufficient to play at night, but better lighting is among the future improvements being considered, along with benches. In addition to neighbourhood kids and their parents, the new court is already winning over new users – students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Cloverdale trades and technology campus nearby. Demographics show the area is unique in that there are a number of single-parent households run by dads, along with large families with lots of children – data they gleaned from a source with Statistics Canada.

The church, with its roomy parking lot, basketball court and modest playground that’s a favourite with toddlers, is a magnet for families looking for somewhere close by to take their kids, or grandkids, to play. “We don’t have a school south of Highway 10,” Westby said, noting people are reluctant to cross the busy highway. “There are no playgrounds, no basketball courts. There’s really nothing local here. We wanted to do this and have a place where the community can just come. We try to view this church and its property as a public place.” The grand opening and ribbon cutting was part of a Family Fall Festival featuring a barbecue, games, and activities Sept. 10.

Movie caps mini fest By Jennifer Lang A free family movie, charity hot dog sales, and a food drive for the Surrey Food bank are among the highlights set for a mini children’s festival at Brick Yard Station this weekend. Merchants of the shopping plaza at 17433-17475 Highway 10 joined forces with the Cloverdale BIA to put on a new event aimed at youngsters Saturday. “Believe it or not, there are over 8,600 children under the age of 15 that live in an eight-minute drive radius from the Cloverdale town centre,” says Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale BIA. He says Clancy’s Meat Co. owner Derek Tremblay had been planning for years to have an outdoor movie at the plaza, and it didn’t take much to convince other Brickyard tenants such as CIBC, Envision Financial and Staples to get involved this time around. The main attraction is the movie, Inside Out, starting at

What’s with our bylaw system? able to enjoy their own yards. Pucks and balls flying into neighbours’ yards, the noise from hockey sticks hitting the asphalt when you are trying to relax or have a meal, with your family in your own yard is just too disturbing. You get the picture. And we are only a few feet away from all this. When I approached the family to inform them of the Surrey by-law that forbids playing street hockey and other sports in a walkway, the lady told me, “Go ahead, you can take pictures, make a movie and send to them, (the by-law department). We have friends there.” My jaw fell to the ground at first, but now I’m thinking, well, it might be true. It’s been two days [since] I called the city and made an official complaint online.

Everything was fine until developers built a townhouse complex across from the walkway. Joi Living, it’s called, on 18818 71 Ave. Surrey. As expected, they built it, amending bylaws, (regardless of neighbours’ complaints) maximizing living space, building the townhomes as close as they could to the walkway, leaving no space for children to play, with their extra small backyards. Then residents started to use the walkway as their own playground, adults included, playing sports like street hockey, soccer, tennis, beach ball, football you name it.

Shawn brightened my day That was your name, my jolly old friend that walked the streets of Cloverdale. I was just thinking about him yesterday when I saw a group of individuals sitting at one of his spots, he wasn’t present... I know now why. Shawn brightened my day. He was a kind gentle man at heart. My client and I was always blessed by his huge smile. Oh yes, Shawn could be grumpy, however I understood. He will be missed. When my client (Tom in the long wheelchair) and I walk the streets of Cloverdale, you will come to mind. Karrie Mineault

said Kathy Puharich, Director of Instruction with the Surrey School District. “It continues to have a foundation base in reading and writing and it allows our students to explore their passions and pursue their areas of interest.” Students entering Grade 10 in 2017-18 will be the first secondary students following the new curriculum entirely. With more than 1000 new students expected in the district this fall,

Surrey is the largest district in B.C. with over 71,000 students attending 101 elementary schools, 19 secondary schools, five student learning centres, three adult learning centres along with on-line learning programs and inter-agency programs serving a variety of student needs.

They may be published! CLOVERDALE COMPUTERS Q & A SEPTEMBER 2016 Q: How do I speed up my slow computer? A: Simply clean your desktop by reducing visible icons.

A Realtor’s job is never finished, there is always more that could be done. A realtor will view at least 30 to 40 homes a week, and a good realtor will make hundreds of phone calls keeping clients up to date. Besides listing Edith Katronis properties and taking clients out for showings, a realtor spends a great deal of time preparing. Everyday there are hundreds of emails to send. Realtors must talk to each other, bankers, lawyers and insurance agents to stay up to date. Realtors educate themselves by attending classes and reading bulletins. If you speak to any full time realtor, they will tell you that the biggest problem they have is finding spare time for their family and friends. But all of this is worth it for our clients’ benefit.

The more desktop icons the slower your PC! Reduce clutter with folders & discard if possible. It makes a huge difference!

answers

available to whiten your teeth? natural color of teeth falls within a range A: The of light greyish-yellow shades. This can be affected by tobacco use, diet and age. There are 2 types of whitening options available: surface whiteners and bleaches. Surface whiteners are abrasives in toothpastes that Dr. Ishtpreet Mangat remove superficial stains only. Bleaching products are peroxide-based and are actually capable of altering the colors of the tooth itself. This is especially important for patients with fillings, root canal treatments, crowns and/or those who have extremely dark stains on their front teeth. There are 2 types of bleaching options: laser which involves the in-office use of heat/light to activate the bleaching product, or custom made trays filled with bleach and worn for a certain amount of time. Not all tooth discolorations respond to tooth-bleaching treatments therefor a consult with a dentist is always recommended first.

Five Tips for “Financial Fitness”

are the safety tips for Q: What Scooters and Power Chairs? A:

SCOOTER AND POWERCHAIR SAFETY It is our goal to make certain all mobility equipment drivers are safe out there. The following tips will help you get there and home safely: 1. BE VISABLE! Wear bright clothing. Have a bright safety flag. Put a reflective vest on the back of your Bobbi Sharon scooter or powerchair seat. Add a flashing bicycle light Law Langlois to the top of you flag. White Rock Surrey Manager 2. SLOW DOWN! If you are driving at top speed you Manager & Owner cannot often react quickly enough to a situation. 3. MAKE EYE CONTACT! If you are crossing a street or passing over a driveway, STOP and look. Make certain that a car isn’t turning right or left or coming in or out of a driveway. Make sure they see you. If you are not sure they see you, stop and wait, regardless of who has the right of way. 4. MAKE CERTAIN your scooter or powerchair is in good working condition and batteries are charged up. Power equipment requires regular maintenance, just like changing the oil in your car. 5. REMEMBER you are a pedestrian and must follow pedestrian rules. Obey all traffic signals intended for pedestrians. Stay on the sidewalk. Only travel on the road when there is no sidewalk or when the scooter driver crosses the road from sidewalk to sidewalk. 6. AVOID using the scooter at dusk or in the dark. 7. BE AWARE of your environment. Be conscious of steep curb cuts, uneven surfaces, utility poles on sidewalks, bus stop benches and construction on sidewalks. 8. BE AWARE of the effects of any medication, drugs and/or alcohol that may affect your skill and judgment. DRIVE SAFE AND ENJOY THE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE YOUR MOBILITY EQUIPMENT GIVES YOU!

Q: I’ve heard that Taekwondo Training can help children to do better in school. A: Along with the many physical benefits, studies

indicate that training in Taekwondo may result in better academic performance in school as well. It stands to reason that activities that improve physical fitness will also make us more mentally fit as the brain is a physical part of the body just like our Karen Bennett muscles, heart and lungs. Karen Bennett The techniques and patterns used in Taekwondo to develop the physical skills get progressively more difficult over time and require strong discipline, focus, concentration and attention to detail in order to master them. The training methods enable students to use and train their powers of logic, memory, visualization, creativity and imagination in a structured environment that demands courtesy, respect, integrity, focus and a lot of perseverance. The mental skills and strong discipline developed carry over to other areas such as school, work or any challenges that may be encountered. The goal of Taekwondo is to allow students to reach their maximum potential in all areas…physically, mentally and emotionally. On top of all that Taekwondo is a lot of fun that the whole family can enjoy together!! Call us today for a free trial that could be the start of a life changing experience!

Try not to apply for new credit, which includes co- signing for any type of loan. 2. Follow the 33% rule. Never run up a credit card or line of credit past 33% of its available limit. If you’ve got a $3,000 limit, then $1,000 is your absolute ceiling. 3. Cash is king. Gather up the maximum down payment possible. The more money you put down on a home, the better. 4. Be prepared.

FELINE BEHAVIOURIST How does your cat communicate with you? By Tara Schneider VOA, MISAP, (Beh) Cats at Home Feline Hospital

Cats communicate using their entire body but the various sounds that cats make can tell us many different things. The most common sound is the meow which is used as a greeting or sometimes as a command. Cats will also meow as a complaint or objection, meaning they don’t want whatever is happening. A meow may also be used as an announcement when a mouse or toy has just been caught. The second most common sound is the purr. This is usually used as a sign of contentment when feeling pleasure, but purring may also be an indication of anxiety, sickness or pain; the act of purring releases endorphins which are natural pain relievers. A growl is another form of sound that cats use when they feel stressed, annoyed or frightened. This form of communication is a cat’s way of warning “not happy and stay back”!

Caffeine is not inherently ‘bad’, unless you experience adverse effects such as difficulty sleeping, restlessness, irritability, or an increased heart rate. Dr. Scarlett Cooper Although variable among individuals, ND for the average adult, 400 mg/day is not associated with negative effects. This is equivalent to three eight-ounce cups of brewed coffee. Since caffeine is present in coffee, tea, energy drinks, pop, chocolate, and certain medications, it can add up quickly. Caffeine increases focus and productivity by stimulating your adrenal glands to release hormones that boost energy and manage stress. Long-term, poorly managed stress can eventually result in burnout, or ‘adrenal fatigue’. If caffeine isn’t having the effect it once did, this is one clue that your adrenal glands need rest and nourishment.

What’s your story: Family history programs start By Jennifer Lang Are you interested in delving more deeply into your family history? The Cloverdale Library hosts a series of upcoming genealogy workshops, launching on Sept. 15 with Start Searching your Family History. The branch has one of the largest Canadian family history collections in the country, and offers programs that help people who are searching their family roots.

Start Searching your Family History is a beginner’s workshop in five lessons, running Thursdays from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Sept. 15 to Nov. 10. Writer and researcher Brenda L. Smith developed this series of five, three-hour classes, addressing the beginner’s need for guidance in embarking on a very personal journey. Participants will work with their own materials, supporting each other, and will learn how to set goals for the research, organize

and evaluate their data, and plan the first stage of their individual research programs. Participants must be able to commit to all five sessions. The cost is $100 for the series. Introduction to Family History is a free, one-day workshop on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 1:30-3 p.m. If you want to trace your family history but don’t know where to start, this is the place. Find out what’s available and where, how to document what you find, and learn some the

tips and tricks of genealogy research. Family Tree Options, presented by Jeannie Vance, is Saturday, Sept. 24 from 1:30-3 p.m. Learn about different electronic and print options for your family tree – and the advantages and disadvantages of each format, including backing up files and sharing files with others. The cost to attend is $10. Register by telephone at 604-598-7327, in person at the Cloverdale Library, 5642 176A Street, or by email at familyhistory@surrey.ca

B.C. teachers pick top 100 reads for kids If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a reader with a passion for books, prepare to go down the rabbit hole with a list thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for all ages By Jennifer Lang The Cat in the Hat, The Hunger Games, Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web, Anne of Green Gables, Oryx and Crake. If you were asked which books to read before you graduate from high school, what would you choose? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a reader with a passion for good books, prepare to go down the rabbit hole. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers were asked which books they believe every student should read before graduating, resulting in thousands of submissions from across the province of books that inspire, resonate with students, and stand the test of time. The results â&#x20AC;&#x201C; released by the BC Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation on the eve of World Literacy Day (Sept. 8) in honour of the federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centennial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are the top 100 books recommended for elementary and secondary school readers. With picks like The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Lawrence Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Book of Negroes, Ray Bradburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farenheit 451 and Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s War and Peace, the titles are excellent suggestions for readers of all ages. Book lovers will delight in perusing the recommendations, bound to spark debate over whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been left out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and which titles to read (or re-read). The lists reflect the enthusiasm

and passion teachers have for literacy and reading, said BCTF president Glen Hansman, adding in addition to books that inspire or resonate, submissions were made based on the outstanding quality of writing or the compelling stories told. Classics old and new populate the 100 best books for elementary students, from Anne of Green Gables (15) and A Wrinkle in Time (34), and Where the Wild Things Are (8) to newer favourites like Neil Gaimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creepy but wise modern fable Coraline (82) and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a choice that will surprise no one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; J.K. Rowlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harry Potter series, sitting firmly at the head of the class at number one. The secondary top 100 is diverse and thought-provoking no matter the genre, ranging from gothic horror â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bram Stockerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dracula â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the horror of war (All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria

Remarche), and everything in between, starting with The Outsiders (number 1) by S.E. Hinton, followed by To Kill a Mocking Bird

by Harper Lee, the uplifting civil rights allegory by the acclaimed U.S. author, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

by Sherman Alexie. Time-tested English lit favourites like 1984, Lord of the Flies and The Catcher In the Rye are also noted. Teachers picked everything from biographies by contemporary international prize winners like I Am Malala â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first-person account of the Nobel Peace Prize winning Pakistani girl â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Diary of Anne Frank to seasoned Canadian favourites like Farley Mowatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Owls in the Family and speculative fiction like Margaret Atwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oryx and Crake. The top 100 includes novels, See BOOKS / Page 14

SECONDARY

non fiction, plays (both Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Romeo and Juliet make the list) and even graphic novels. Consider Maus by Art Spiegelman, listed at 59 on the 100 list for secondary students. The Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel has been called “the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust.” It’s about a cartoonist’s struggle to come to terms with his father’s survival story. In the novel, the Nazis are portrayed as cats and the Jews are mice. Unsurprisingly considering these are English language books, the list is heavily skewed to American, Canadian, and UK authors. Just behind the boy wizard juggernaut on the elementary book list is The Wonder by R.J. Palacio in second place. It’s being made into a movie starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay (who was in Room, the Oscar-winning film adapted from Emma Donoghue’s novel, Room, a top pick for secondary students), followed by The Giver by Lois Lowry (2014) in third place. It seems B.C.’s teachers aren’t afraid to expose elementary readers to difficult subjects: Fatty Legs, a true story by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Poliak-Fenton and illustrated by Liz Amini-Holmes (No. 18), addresses the cruelty and intimidation visited upon students in the residential school system. J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit is at 41 on the secondary student list, which doesn’t shy from gruesome reality, boasting both Alive, a true story about a group CMYK / .ai

Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to Job info:

Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours of hearing with only one charge.

The brain requires more mental energy when listening in difficult environments. This effortful listening in turn leads to fatigue. increases in stress, tension, and fatigue. A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel. A growing body of research suggests that hearing aids may reduce listening effort, and in return mental fatigue when processing speech in noise. Digital Noise Reduction technology has been shown to

Surrey Museum keeps pace with B.C’s curriculum changes As a new school year begins, the Surrey Museum is bracing for small hands and laughter to fill the galleries. The museum’s lone science-focused program, the popular Simple Machines, is expected to be popular with guests visiting through school programs this fall. Simple Machines, intended for Grade 5 classes, the program explores simple and complex machines, keeping current with

new B.C. curriculum fostering intercultural and interdisciplinary skills. “Simple machines allows children to explore scientific ideas in a cultural way,” explains Sandra Border, education specialist at the Surrey Museum. “Students learn how indigenous peoples, Surrey pioneers and people today all use the same simple machines in their daily lives.” Simple machines is the mu-

The program was developed with all kids of learners in minds. Students work alone or in pairs and in groups. “They build, create, observe, reason, discuss and listen,” she said. Simple Machines is just one of 16 school programs offered by Surrey Heritage at three locations. To find out more, call 604-592-6956 or visit surrey.ca/ herirtageschool.

seum’s most hands-on education program, using artifacts, scientific models, the sustainability-focused Kids Gallery, and the teaching loom at the museum’s textile studio. The program allows students to approach simple machines using numerous learning styles. “Kids and teachers seem to love the varied approach,” Borger said. “Every child learns differently, whether it be visual, physical, verbal, social or solitary.”

Zoo picketed A group of animal rights protesters picketed the Greater Vancouver Zoo Labour Day in Aldergrove. About eight police and security guards were on hand to greet the dozen protesters as they walked up 264 Street to the zoo entrance Sept. 5. The protesters stood at the vehicle exit to the zoo, which is near the walk-in entrance and chanted “This is not family fun, this is abuse.” The event was identified on Facebook as the GVZoo peaceful protest and outreach.

Cats on cue-te

Felines from across region to converge at cat show

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

By Jennifer Lang It’s a star-studded catstravaganza. Cat Fanciers of B.C. is hosting its annual regional fall show next week in White Rock, promising three days of feline flair Sept. 16-18. A Star Studded Affair is a threeday championship and household pet cat show at Pacific Inn Convention Centre at 1160 King George Boulevard. There will be 15 judging rings where spectators can watch the event, and an exhibitors area where the cats can be viewed when they’re not competing. Competitions for all classes go on throughout the weekend, and will feature a broad variety of different breeds. The International Cat Association recognizes more than 60 breeds for championship competition and exhibition, and many – but not all – will be represented at the show.

Shirley and Jeff Byington are entering three cats in the upcoming A Star-Studded Affair (Sept. 16-18). Two are pictured: Makato, left, is a Japanese bobtail shorthair (holding a toy he ‘stole’ from a judge at a cat show, and later broke, Shirley said) and Rhyannon, at right, a black smoke Kurilian bobtail longhair.
