Food drive in overdriveBy Jennifer LangAn annual food drive that saw
more than 230 Cloverdale families through the Christmas season last year is once again looking for dona-tions of food, cash and volunteer support.
� e Cloverdale Christmas Ham-per Program, a non-denominational food aid program that runs on the combined e� orts of the entire com-munity, is accepting applications from needy families.
It’s also ready to accept donations of food, cash and new gi� s for chil-dren and youths.
By the end of last week, more than 200 donation boxes had been distributed to businesses, schools and churches throughout the Cloverdale area, ready for this year’s appeal, says Kevin Lunder, who acts as program lead along with his wife, Trish.
Hamper pick-up day is early this year – Saturday, Dec. 14, so Lunder is urging supporters to have their donations in no later than Dec. 9. It will take volunteers the rest of that week to sort donations and assemble hampers in time.
� e hampers are � lled with a week’s worth of fresh and non-per-ishable food.
It takes an army of volunteers to man the assembly line in the ware-house of Paci� c Community Church. Shi� s will be running daily from 1:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. from Dec. 8 to 13.
Volunteers range from Cubs, Scouts, and Guides to youth hockey teams, Kwantlen Polytechnic Univer-sity students and families.
About 75 to 100 volunteers turned out daily to help last year.

Site works create more headaches for businessBy Jennifer LangMore merchants are grumbling that ongoing
road and site works at the old Cloverdale mall site is hurting business.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOThe student leadership team at George Greenaway Elementary, with a sample of more than 2,000 items gathered by students that have already been donated to this year’s Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program.
From page one
Diverse network of community partners involvedyear, wanting to get involved. I’m sure we will see those people back again, because it was fun.”
A network of diverse community partners are also involved with other aspects of the campaign, including the Surrey Association For Community Liv-ing’s Clover Valley day program.
Donations are key. Food items, gifts, and cash are all urgently needed.
“Last year, we were just a little concerned with the financial dona-tions coming in,” Lun-der said. A last minute infusion of support helped put the program in the black.
Both local Price Smarts and Market-place IGA–Cloverdale are on board. He said businesswoman Jen Temple has joined the team to help with dona-tions and advertising.
Lunder asks that people making food donations check to ensure the items have not outlasted their best before date.
“We’ve had boxes and boxes of food that had
expired,” he says.One of the biggest
sources of support are local schools. The two local secondary schools - Clayton Heights and Lord Tweedsmuir – have entered into a friendly rivalry to see which school can col-lect the most donations.
“They’re our two largest supporters,” Lunder says.
And 20 donation boxes overflowing with
non-perishable food items have already been collected from George Greenaway Elementary in Cloverdale, accord-ing to principal Elsie Bertholm.
The initiative was headed up by the school’s Me to We student leadership team, which went around door-to-door collecting donations on Halloween. Students in all grades also brought
in their own donations from home, resulting in a massive collection.
“We had almost 2,000 items,” Bertholm said.
It’s easier than ever to make a cash dona-tion to the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper
Program. This year, it can be done online through Paypal at the new website, at pacific-church.ca/hampers.
This year’s applica-tion deadline is Dec. 3. Application forms may be downloaded from the website.
Donations of cash, food, merchandise and gifts are accepted (new toys only, please). Cash donations receive a
tax deductible receipt. Make cheques payable to Pacific Community Church.
Suggested donations include: non perish-able food items such as canned vegetables and fruit, soup, crackers, snacks, canned meat or fish, condiments, pasta, and rice, grocery and food gift cards, toiletries and personal care items, new gloves,
socks and scarves, new, unwrapped children’s toys and gifts for ages newborn to 12 years, and store gift cards for youths aged 13-17.
For further informa-tion on donating or vol-unteering, call 604-574-4001 ext. 107 or email [email protected]. The mailing address is 5337 180 Street, Surrey, B.C. V3F 4K5.

To the editor;Our store has been without mail delivery for over a
month starting in early October.I � rst went to the local depot, which is hidden away
in a warehouse complex. I joined a line of residents who were waiting for their mail as their mailboxes had been burglarized.
When it was my turn, there was no mail. I am con-cerned, as certain pieces of valuable mail are missing.
I have contacted the Post O ce Ombudsperson and they replied that they would look into the matter.
I phoned M.P. Mr. Russ Hiebert’s o ce and they said they would would look into it. Meanwhile no mail....
I wonder if there are other residents not receiving their mail?

To the editor;
Re: “Store acts as petition sign up spot,” Oct. 3As someone who does not see a problem
with the legalization of marijua-na, I don’t think it makes sense to not legalize it or at least decrimi-nalize it.
Cannabis can be used as more than a recreational drug. It has many bene� ts for some people with certain medical conditions. Of course there is going to be some people who will abuse the privilege, but there are many people who abuse the privilege of alco-hol and tobacco.
Many can even argue that marijuana is bet-ter for you than both tobacco and marijuana. People die every day from dumb decisions they made while impaired by alcohol. People also die every day from illnesses or diseases
they get from smoking tobacco. None have died from too much marijuana,
although I acknowledge that fact that there are some downfalls to marijuana.
I think that if we try to control and show some trust to people who use marijuana, you will be surprised at how little things would change. I do not believe that it would up the crime rate or death rate.
� ere are many petitions cir-cling already in hopes of legalizing marijuana. I honestly don’t think it would change much. And with the money that was saved from try-ing to patrol it we could use it elsewhere. � e places that have already legalized it make a pro� t at the end of the year.

Residents invited to another meeting on new Clayton park
By Jennifer LangA spray park, playground and
walking loop are among the items topping residents’ wish list for Hazelgrove Park in East Clayton.
The items were among the top 10 features identified at a Sept. 10 open house and an online survey, according to Surrey Parks Plan-ning and Design.
Including a spray park/splash pad in the new park topped the list, with 58 per cent of respon-dents identifying those features as a priority.
Washrooms were a close sec-ond, at 57 per cent, followed by a playground (54 per cent), walk-ing loop (49 per cent), picnic
area (40 per cent), nature/forest area, sports field, youth park and tennis court.
A second public open house for the Hazelgrove Park project is planned for next Tuesday, when residents can review park con-cept plans and provide city staff with feedback, further refining the park’s design.
Hazelgrove park is part of the East Clayton Neighbourhood Concept Plan.
The site, located between 190 and 191 Street, north of Hazel-grove Elementary, will be turned into a community park with outdoor recreation facilities and greenspace, including features for team sports, youth and chil-
dren’s play.It will be approximately 3.5
hectares (8.65 acres) in size, making it the largest park in East Clayton.
The project timeline calls for the final park design being com-pleted in spring 2014, with con-struction beginning next sum-mer.
The Nov. 19 open house runs from 6-8 pm. at Clayton Heights Secondary School, 7003 188 Street.
Contact Parks Planning at 604-501-5050 or email [email protected] for more infor-mation.
For more, visit www.surrey.ca/culture-recreation/3131.aspx.

dale Elks Lodge is Gerry Peterson, secretary. Incor-rect information was included in our Nov. 7 story, “A presidential visit.” Anyone wanting more infor-mation on the Cloverdale Elks may reach Peterson by calling 604-530-5556.

the unseen danger of diabetesDiabetic eye disease is the leading cause
of blindness among adults
It occurs when small blood vessels in the retina weaken and leak, or when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina. The result is impaired vision and, potentially, blindness. Anyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetic eye disease. But often there are no
symptoms until the disease is advanced. For that reason, we recommend that anyone with — or at least risk for — diabetes have a comprehensive, dilated eye examination at least every 6 months. Early detection and treatment are the key to maintaining healthy vision.
Cloverdale pauses to rememberBy Jennifer LangSurrey Museum Plaza
was filled to capacity, with the crowds spill-
ing out onto the lawn and beyond Monday as hundreds turned out for Remembrance Day cer-emonies in Cloverdale.
Along with veterans, air and army cadets, large contingents of RCMP and emergency service personnel took part, including para-medics and firefighters.
They were joined by members of the public, including many families with young children.
The Cloverdale Unit-ed Church Choir sang several selections, and the RCMP E Division Pipe Band was on hand for the Nov. 11 service and ceremonies, which included observing two
minutes of silence to re-member the sacrifices of Canada’s fallen service-men and women, and the laying of wreaths at the Cloverdale Ceno-taph. One was laid by Hans Anderson, 92, who served from 1939- 1946 and wastaken pris-oner in Italy in 1944, and held until war’s end.
The gathering was treated to two flypasts of vintage military aircraft in formation. After the service, the colour party from Cloverdale Legion Branch 6 led the parade back to the legion hall.
The Surrey Museum and Surrey Archives were open to the public for ‘Surrey Remembers.’

He suggests opening up better channels of communication with merchants, such as talk-ing to them directly, and, where possible, putting notices in the newspaper warning of disruption.
Meanwhile, there is no mechanism to pro-vide financial compen-sation to those mer-chants claiming to have lost business as a result, he said.
“So, it’s a burden. It is very much a burden to
people who are adjacent to the site.”
Orazietti said there’s very little that can be done to mitigate the sit-uation until the project is complete other than to urge people to pa-tronize those businesses that are impacted.
“I know there are people who are defi-nitely suffering, and I encourage all the citi-zens to shop locally and support them.”
Orazietti would also like to see the laneway portion of the project completed more quickly than the roads and in-frastructure required for the internal sections of the site.
“It’s a painful pro-cess when you’re going through that level of
construction,” he said, adding it’s not unlike what businesses along the Cambie Street corri-dor in Vancouver went through during the con-struction of the Canada Line for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

‘He never gave up on himself ’By Gary AhujaWins and losses are
important, but so is giv-ing back to the commu-nity and helping others, and one member of the Langley Rams junior football team has been honoured for his ef-forts.
Brad Goodchild, an offensive lineman for the Rams, was present-ed with the Ron White Community Service Award last month at halftime of his team’s loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Football Conference’s championship game.
He has also earned the Canadian Junior Football League’s Past Commissioners Award, presented Nov. 8 in Regina at the CJFL Banquet of Champions.
The award is for football players who are recognized by their coaches and peers as leaders on and off the field and who give unselfishly to their
community.The 21-year-old
Goodchild was selected for the award and nomination for every-thing he overcame over the past eight years.
In a 2011 story in the Langley Times, Good-child shared just how
much he had overcome. And based on that story, he was selected the winner of the Ron White Award.
The story detailed how at age 13, Good-child was taking care of his younger brother Jake, registering him for
school and dropping him off and picking him up. With his father not a part of their lives and his drug addict mother going missing for weeks at a time, the boys were evicted from their Surrey rental home.
Goodchild and his brother showed up at their grandparents’ home and were taken in. Until that point, the grandparents did not know the extent of their daughters’ addiction problems.
Despite all this adver-sity, Goodchild thrived in the classroom, skipping Grade 8 and graduating from Lord Tweedsmuir Second-ary in 2010 with a 95 per cent grade point average. He also earned a scholarship from the Cmolik Foundation, a B.C. based chari-table foundation which awards scholarships to

Success where it would be easy to failFrom page 11
financially-challenged students who have overcome a significant barrier or disadvantage in their life.
Goodchild is in his fourth year at Simon Fraser University, where he is studying psychology with the hopes of becoming a youth counselor.
He is also mentoring a pair of young men at his former high school.
“It gives us the op-
portunity to recognize very special young men who are committed to the game and to their team as well as to their family, friends, the community and to the world,” said Ron White, the man whom the award is named after and who selects the winner.
White is a member of the B.C. Football Hall of Fame and is a lifetime member of both the BCFC and the CJFL and will present
Goodchild the Past Commissioners Award.
“In this very special situation, we have a
young man who never lost his faith under
unbelievable circum-stances,” White said.
“He succeeded when it would have been easy to fail (and) he never gave up on himself.
“He now shares these life experiences mentoring students as his contribution to the community.”
Goodchild has also recently come in con-tact with his mother, Jaeson Goodchild.
Next month will mark two years clean for her and she contact-ed him and his brother in the past few months.
“That was part of her making amends as part of the 12-step pro-gram,” he said.
And while Goodchild says he has moved on from growing up without his mother, he would still like her to be a part of their lives, es-pecially for his younger
brother’s sake.“I have done quite
a bit of growing up without her,” Goodchild said.
“(But) I was really more interested in her being healthy and be-ing available for Jake. I don’t really need a mother in the same way that Jake does.”
Goodchild wants his 13-year-old sibling to experience the mother he remembers before the addiction took over.
“She was a great mom back when I was really young,” he said. “She used to come to all the field trips at school and used to work and took care of us and it was awesome.
“It just kind of fell apart and I would just like her to be the same kind of person for Jake.”
– Black Press
Despite adversity at home, Goodchild thrived at school.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOThe Mexico Vivo Dancers are part of the festivities at Saturday’s Mexican Fiesta at the Surrey Museum.
By Jennifer LangLatin music and
Mexican food are a few of the attractions Saturday afternoon at the Surrey Museum, hosting a Mexican Fi-esta as part of its on-going Discovery Sat-urday Series.
If you’ve ever won-dered what The Day of the Dead is about, come out from 1-4 p.m. Nov. 16 for a
taste. There will be dancing, crafts, and an introduction to Mexican culture and the Day of the Dead festival, courtesy of Latincouver, a mul-ticultural non-profit organization bringing Latin Americans liv-ing in B.C. together.
The Mexico Vivo Dancers will perform regional Mexican dances and share the background and his-tory of each dance.
“I feel great love and passion for my Mexican culture and music,” says founder and director Maria Hilmer. “The pur-pose of this group is to share this with the public through our dances.”
Children can make crafts and attend a special Day of the Dead story time at 2 p.m.
The museum’s Hon-ey Hooser Textile Stu-dio will have authen-tic, handwoven and embroidered material from Mexico.
Munch on organic tortilla chips and salsa, or purchase a snack from the cup-a-corn vendor.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOAbove, a Kindergarten class at George Greenaway Elementary poses in front of the large mural of peace all students helpd create for Rembrance Day, inspired by Picasso’s Guernica. The black and white image at right is just one panel of their work. Each class collaborated on one panel of the mural, creating a multi-colour statement of peace and remembrance on the wall of the school’s gymnasium. The theme of the project was ‘We all have a hand in peace.’ More than 400 students and staff gathered in the gym on Nov. 7 for a Remembrance Day as-sembly, singing songs, reciting poems such as In Flanders Fields, written by Canadian John McRae in 1915, and listening to piper Capt. Norm Demer of the 746 Air Cadet Squadron play several selections on the bagpipes, includ-ing Amazing Grace, before observing a moment of silence.
