By Jennifer Lang It’s encouraging news for any ghosts, goblins, princesses and Spidermen who may have been disappointed that the Halloween Costume Parade has been cancelled. The Cloverdale Legion has offered to step in by hosting a daytime Halloween children’s party at Branch 6 on Oct. 31 for kids aged 3-12. The news comes after the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association announced the Halloween Costume Parade would be put on hold this year due to budget constraints, including the prohibitive cost of traffic control. The annual event has consistently drawn hundreds of costumed kids and their parents to Surrey Museum Plaza each October for activities and a su-

In correspondence to the event’s co-sponsors, the Cloverdale BIA and the Cloverdale
District Chamber of Commerce, Legion executive member Cathie Koop says the Cloverdale Legion has offered to step in by offering a haunted house, hot dogs, and some prizes for costumes at a children’s party. With the proposed event just weeks away, the Legion is reaching out to BIA and Chamber members to participate on an optional basis. “We would also like to approach the businesses of Cloverdale to be a part of this, by putting out tents with their wares and treats so the kids can do a trick or treating by going around these tables,” said Koop. It’s the Legion’s way of saying to the people of Cloverdale “that we care about our community and we want to help,” she said.

Two hockey fans wed at centre ice than 100 guests, many of whom wore hockey jerseys at the couple’s request. Groom Kevin Holbeche, 32, told Black Press prior to the big day that he and fiancee Michelle Shimizu, 37, were big hockey fans, and that
it was the bride’s idea for the hockey-themed wedding. “Her wish was always to get married on hockey skates if she could, so we just thought, let’s do it,” Holbeche said. It wasn’t just the ceremony that was hockey themed – nearly every detail of the wedding included some sort of hockey aspect. The couple’s invitations were hockey tickets – respondents had to rip the ticket stub off and mail back to RSVP – and their reception, which took place in Langley, included game-day programs, and keepsake playoff towels draped over on attendees’ chairs. The couple – loyal Vancouver Canucks fans – also planned hockey-themed wedding photos for after the ceremony, including gloves and sticks as props, Holbeche said.

Do balanced budgets matter? The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters. The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson. “The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says. “Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.” The Conservative government’s pre-election budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008. Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with intentionally pessimistic budget estimates, so Prime Minister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau claimed last year’s surplus was partly generated by cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending

Millions pledged for light rail
Fedewich&Witt NOTARIES PUBLIC

By Jeff Nagel Federal Conservatives have pledged to cover up to $700 million of a proposed $2.1-billion light rail rapid transit network in Surrey but acknowledged the project still needs an elusive regional funding source to proceed. The campaign announcement Monday by former Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, running as a Tory in South Surrey-White Rock, along with Industry Minister
James Moore, was widely expected and follows Liberal and NDP signals that they, too, would fund the federal share of rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, if elected. Area mayors have long assumed one-third funding from Ottawa regardless of the party in power, but the regional share that would have come from a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax evaporated when Metro Vancouver vot-

Dianne Watts Conservative candidate South Surrey-White Rock
“They did have a plebiscite, it did fail, so now they have to come up with their third and the province has to come up with their third,” Watts said. Moore, who is not seeking re-election, said only the Conservatives have explicitly committed to fund Surrey light rail and have a dedicated $84-billion public transit fund to deliver the money without running a deficit or raising taxes. The light rail project consists of an 11-kilometre ‘L’ line running from Newton to City Centre up King George Boulevard, then east to Guildford, as well as a 17-kilometre line down Fraser Highway to Langley City. A B Line express bus route would extend south from Newton to White Rock. Moore said the Surrey LRT commitment doesn’t close the door on a federal contribution for the Broadway SkyTrain extension in Vancouver or potentially other transit or transportation projects in Metro Vancouver. But he said the Surrey project is “ready” to advance while the Broadway subway is not. Moore also doused speculation that the federal government might switch the proposed technology from atgrade light rail to elevated SkyTrain on at least the Fraser Highway line, as happened with the Evergreen Line. “The choice of technology we leave to the city,” Moore said, noting it’s a “contained system” geared to serving Surrey residents. Asked if SkyTrain might not better serve passengers boarding in Langley so they don’t have to change trains in Surrey to reach Vancouver or Burnaby, Moore said the government will follow the City of Surrey’s wishes. “That’s the technology
they decided. Ottawa is not going to second guess that.” Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said she now hopes to have construction started by 2018 on the ‘L’ line but conceded it won’t be operating by then as she promised in her election campaign last fall. “I wish it was up and running by 2018 but I’ve lost several months that I don’t think I can catch up on.” Hepner said the Conservatives’ pledge for the project is “really important” but added she would welcome direct funding commitments for Surrey LRT from all other federal parties. She has yet to clearly define how Surrey would raise the money to either cover the region’s $700-million share of the capital cost, or else to make eventual payments to a P3 partner that might finance the cost of construction. Hepner suggested a road pricing system to raise revenue within Metro Vancouver could eventually be in place to deliver the region’s contribution. “There are funding formulas and then there are financing options,” Hepner said. “I could be looking at a financing option not unlike Canada Line.” There is also uncertainty around the cost estimate. TransLink officials said Friday they are not yet confident that either the Surrey or Vancouver rapid transit lines would come in close to their proposed price tags. “There is no business case,” said project critic Daryl Dela Cruz, who said he will continue to press for SkyTrain instead. “The Conservatives have made a very blind commitment to a project that seems to be very motivated by insider connections.” He argues at-grade light rail trains will be vulnerable to traffic problems and offer no significant reduction in travel time compared to express buses. Moore said B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has told him the province is confident the project is economic and viable but added the $700-million federal contribution is fixed. – Black Press

CANADA VOTES!
Voter information cards are in the mail By Jennifer Lang With the federal election fast approaching, millions of personalized Voter Information Cards have gone out to registered voters’ homes across B.C., including here in Cloverdale. Elections Canada says the cards contain important, personalized polling location information: the voter’s poll number and location for election day Oct. 19, and for the advanced polling days on Oct. 9-12. Unlike in B.C. provincial elections, where voters can cast their ballot at any polling station, the federal election requires voters to use the polling station assigned to them. When voters receive their VIC, they should check their information to ensure it’s accurate. Voters who haven’t received their card in the mail by Oct. 1 – or whose card shows the wrong address – can register or update their current address online at www.elections.ca where they can use the voter information service tool. Alternately, voters can drop by a local Elections Canada office in person. The main office of the returning officer for Cloverdale-Langley City is suite 5, 20678 Duncan Way, Langley. Visit www.elections.ca for more information, or call a national toll free line at 1-800-463-6868. Elections Canada offices will be open seven days a week. Voters may vote up to Oct. 13 (6 p.m.) at an Elections Canada office using a special ballot. Late last week there were unconfirmed reports that some Surrey residents living near the Langely border received cards with the wrong polling location address, with at least one man notifying Elections Canada of the problem. Dorothy Sitek of Elections Canada said if that’s the

case, replacement cards would be sent out well ahead of voting day. The replacement cards are marked in red, alerting residents to the proper polling location. She also says it’s possible voting stations have changed since that last federal election in 2011. “There are six new ridings in B.C.,” she said, adding more than 90 per cent of ridings across the county have experienced changes. “It’s not necessarily a mistake,” she said, explaining that Cloverdale-Langley City is a new riding. “The boundary has changed. The polling station may have been moved. But it’s good for him to check.”

Super SAM-e By Christine Cheng, R.Ph. and Fred Cheng, R.Ph
CHRISTINE CHENG
FRED CHENG
SAM-E stands for S-adenosylmethionine, a naturally occurring molecule that is found in virtually all body tissues and fluids. It is made in the body from homocysteine and 5-methylene tetrahydrofolate. With its synthesis being closely linked to vitamin B12 and folate metabolism, deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to decreased SAMe concentrations. SAMe plays an essential role in over 100 biochemical reactions involving the synthesis and metabolism of hormones, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, proteins, and phospholipids where it is involved in transmethylation. Due to its extensive action, it has been used for many different purposes including depression, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, intrahepatic cholestasis, and even sexual dysfunction. Despite it being such an important molecule in the body, it is not wellknown as it has been over-shadowed by other supplements that can be used for each of its individual actions. For example, milk thistle
is much better known as a liver supporting supplement, 5-HTP is better known for mood support, MSM and glucosamine are better known for helping with joint pain, etc. However, SAM-e supplementation can increase glutathione, an important molecule in liver detoxification. SAM-e can increase serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine levels, which means it can help with depressive symptoms on more than one front. It has been proven in clinical trials to work as well as tri-cyclic antidepressants with benefits felt in as little as one to two weeks. In addition to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in the treatment of osteoarthritis, SAM-e supplementation can increase the levels of synovial fluid in the joint in just seven days. It may even help stimulate cartilage growth and repair. One of the greatest benefits of trying SAM-e is that it is generally very well-tolerated. Side effects are mild (e.g., nausea, dizziness, nervousness, sweating, headache)
and usually only seen at high doses. If you are using it for its liversupporting properties, make sure to take it along with a good folate and vitamin B6 supplement such as Thorne Research’s MULTI B#6 to maximize the benefit. SAM-e can be rapidly degraded when exposed to the environment, so make sure to choose one that is enteric-coated such as the one by AOR.

Rental aid eyed as housing cost relief tool By Jeff Nagel Some of the money raised through a potentially higher property transfer tax on luxury homes could be funneled into incentives to build more rental housing, Finance Minister Mike De Jong says. De Jong said earlier this month he’s considering a third increment of the property transfer tax to collect more when high-end homes change hands, and use the proceeds to help combat unaffordably high housing costs. But he has been cautious about how to

go about dispensing relief, noting that aid to entry-level home buyers could backfire and simply push prices even higher. “If all you do is create more demand and supply remains constant you’ll have the opposite effect of what you want – you’ll drive the cost up,� de Jong said in an interview with Black Press. He said rental construction incentives could be one piece of the puzzle. “Is there a way to also encourage the construction of more and
new rental housing – that’s very much a part of this conversation,� de Jong said.

ALL
of B.C. Municipalities convention, where he asked mayors and councillors whether relief should be focused on first-time home buyers, and whether it should go towards the purchase of any housing, or be targeted to increase the supply of new housing. He said most community leaders seem to support the idea of reforming the property transfer tax in a way that helps young families get into the housing market. De Jong reminded municipal politicians that they control zoning and therefore have the power to increase density and the number of homes available, applying downward pressure on prices. The property transfer tax charges one per cent on the first $200,000 of the price and two per cent after that. When a $600,000 home sells, $10,000 flows to the government. De Jong noted the $200,000 threshold where the tax rises to two per cent hasn’t been changed in 30 years. Increasing that would reduce the bite of the tax at the lower end of the market.
Another potential lever is the exemption for first-time home buyers – they don’t pay the tax on the first $475,000. Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association CEO Bob de Wit said he’s concerned the government’s idea of a luxury increment on the transfer tax could disrupt the housing market. “It really depends on the changes they make at the higher end and how they define higher end,� said de Wit, who urged the province to proceed very carefully. “To a lot of one- and two-income families, a $1 million or $2 million home is not super luxurious. It depends where they charge the premium.� Home builders and realtors would prefer to see the province dismantle the property transfer tax altogether. And although Premier Christy Clark earlier this year floated the idea of phasing it out over time, de Wit doubts that will happen, because the tax has grown to become a billion-dollar-a-year cash cow for the province.

Making a global connection to help women Inn for Women opens its doors Oct. 3 to help raise awareness Along with appetizers, a raffle and door prizes, there will be Global Wonders Jewelry for sale that’s crafted by women in Nepal for the SA Foundation in Vancouver, where the items are designed. The foundation works to offer hope and long-term recovery for exploited and trafficked women and children by partnering with individuals and communities to provide viable recovery options. Hogenes said the foundation is currently trying to raise enough money to open a school in Nepal – a step she says is critical to ending the exploitation of women who in many cases have children of their own, making it difficult to break away. “It’s the same issue as here,” she says. “What about the kids? If they
don’t have someone to care for their children, you can’t break the cycle.” Artist and musician Delany Rose will perform throughout the open house at Inn for Women. Suzanne Volberg will create a drawing of the music as Rose performs, and donate the art piece to auction off. Immediately following the open house, the foundation’s founder will speak about her work and describe her recent trips to Mumbai, Nepal and Greece. That discussion will take place from 5-7 p.m., just a few doors down at Crossridge Church, 5732 176 Street, formerly home to the Clova Cinema. For more, visit SAfoundation. com.

The store, staffed by volunteers, is a source of revenue for SA Foundation, a charity that helps women at home and abroad who have been sexually exploited or trafficked, and relies solely on private donations. The open house runs from 2-5 p.m. at Inn for Women, located at 5740 176 Street.

famous trains and lists of numbers of all the trains in the systems. Steaming into ancient Victorian stone stations we’d note train numbers in a notebook, before entertaining ourselves by crossing them off in official Train Spotter books purchased from WH Smith’s for about a shilling and sixpence (25 cents these days?). The Flying Scotsman featured prominently in the books. Being lucky enough to spot it generated general jubilation. What an easy way to keep kids entertained and making friends on a long dusty journey. Of course, nowadays trains could be tracked electronically thereby eliminating the need to converse with anyone, or even glance out of the window.
year commemorative anniversary exhibit will open at the NRM. Ambulance trains will be among the many highlights. I’m guessing those alone will be worth visiting. Something I am familiar with is the locomotive legend, the Flying Scotsman. Having undergone a £4m restoration project, the famous steam engine is scheduled to make its inaugural run from London Kings Cross to York next February. You can follow the final pictorial details at www. nrm.org.uk/flyingscotman As a child travelling between Scotland and England I was one of the league of ‘train spotters’ glued to British Rail carriage windows clutching booklets containing pictures of the most

know this because last year Virgin East Coast Rail replaced my cancelled London-Manchester flight (at an eye-popping last minute cost) after the Big One battered Britain thereby earning me a weekly trans-Atlantic email containing their involvement in the NRM festivities. Although I’ve never visited the National Railway Museum, it reminds me that few children nowadays have experienced the thrill of riding the rails. As you know, availability is a problem, as well as cost. More’s the pity, as folks of yesteryear might say. Digging into the NRM site I find that it’s the largest UK rail museum, houses ‘300 years of history and 1,000,000 objects that changed the world’. Next July a First World War 100

I feel as though I’m on the verge of a great adventure From page 16
My cousin, Euan, refuses to holiday anywhere unless he can go by rail. He plans to travel by train from the British Midlands to meet his son, Cameron, in Corsica. Euan will kick back, chat with fellow passengers, munch on assorted supplies, and let the world roll by. Neither he, nor I, know how long he’ll take to get to Corsica, but Cameron will be there in two hours onboard easyJet. His dad will turn up eventually. Personally, I also enjoy train travel. London’s King’s Cross opened in 1852. It’s been upgraded of course,
but whenever I’m there I feel as though I’m on the verge of a great adventure…or a missed train. Saltcoats Central, the Scottish North Ayrshire station we often departed from when I was a child, was opened in 1840 and actually was moved twice, once in 1858 and again1882. Moving all that rock boggles the mind, but I’ll bet it has been grey and brooding since day one. Beauty isn’t one of its attributes, but the memories linger on. I’ve traversed Canada from Montreal to Vancouver on VIA Rail (the CPR route) for the princely sum of $99
one-way, rattled around assorted destinations throughout Europe and chugged through South Africa from Johannesburg to Durban or Cape Town more than once. Last summer my twoyear-old Albertan granddaughter excitedly waved to trains rolling through White Rock. She’d be much more excited to actually climb onboard. For now, though, the Bear Creek Park Train, or the Fraser Valley Heritage Rail Interurban will have to suffice. As I write this a distant train whistle is blasts through the night. I think of train dining cars com-

plete with silver service, white-jacketed stewards, kippers and scrambled eggs,
businessmen hidden behind The Times, or Telegraph, and English countryside zipping
by. Doubtless that costs a bonny penny these days, but I think dining on rolling stock takes the cake. The same goes for coffee and croissants at high speed on the TGV through France, or snacks on Swiss Rail twisting hither and yon around Alps and through mountain tunnels. No wonder Agatha Christie planted her famous sleuth, Poirot, onboard the Orient Express. I wonder if the Amtrak Cascades service to Seattle would offer the same allure. Perhaps we’ll meet onboard and find out.

No Kitten!
THERE’S A PROPER WAY TO PICK UP A CAT
hand supporting the front/ chest area, and place the other under their back feet or bottom. Bring them close to your body – they’re fragile and you don’t want to drop them or have them jump out of your arms if they become frightened. It’s also important to never grab or scruff a kitten by the nape of his neck – while the kitten’s mother may use that technique to manager her litter, it is not necessary for humans to handle a kitten like this and can cause physical harm. Ensuring that your physical interactions with your new kitten are good experiences early on, and allowing him as much choice and control over his movements as opposite are the key to building a positive, lasting bond with your cat.

No kitten! There’s a proper way to pick up a cat Kittens are cute, playful and full of energy. While thousands of British Columbians choose to share their homes with feline friends, many may not know that there are good ways – and bad ways – to handle cats, especially when they’re young kittens. Kittens – like most animals – are not born with a desire to be picked up and handled by humans so it’s important to teach them that being picked up is a safe and enjoyable experience. If your kitten is in a crate, don’t reach in to pull him out as that can be very scary and intimidating and may even cause injury to fragile and growing bones. Try playing with a few of his favourite toys just outside the crate, or put out some wet food or treats to try and lure him out on his own. Once the kitten realizes that good things happen 7192056 outside the crate, he will come out willingly to approach you. Animals are much more receptive and at ease when they have some control and choice over what it happening to them, rather than being forced into contact with humans. To safely pick up a kitten, gently lift them up with one
