Kitchen goes public

By Jennier LangCloverdale residents are in-

vited to help shape the future of a community kitchen that aims to serve the needs of the people and the community it was designed for.

Pacifi c Community Church is hosting a public forum early next month to help determine the next steps for the kitchen, a commercial-grade facility com-pleted last December, thanks to fundraising eff orts that brought in $400,000 in support and fol-lowing 13 months of planning.

Th e church is located at 5337 180 Street in a renovated ware-house that’s now home to the kitchen, which currently serves 75 to 100 meals each week.

Th e hope is to expand pro-gramming by addressing im-mediate needs as well as under-taking wider initiatives, such as employment programs.

Th e church hired consultant Teunis Schouten, who looked at the kitchen’s existing resources

and met with community andbusiness leaders to assess needsin Cloverdale. He’s has drawn up a set of recommendations onwhat steps to take next.

Th e public forum is a chanceto consider fi ndings and initiate action, organizers said in a pressrelease.

Th e kitchen was designed tobe a local networking hub of community partnerships, social enterprise and community re-sources.

Anyone who is interested in the kitchen and hearing more about its future direction is in-vited to attend the forum, slatedfor 7 p.m. Th ursday, Nov. 14 at the church.

Last February in Cloverdale, teams took part in the ColdestNight of the Year walk on behalf of the new community kitchen. Th e event was the facility’s of-fi cial launch, as well as a suc-cessful fundraiser that pulled in $58,000 for the kitchen, nearly double the original target.

Grow-op found aft er Cloverdale shootingAn early-morning shooting in Cloverdale

Tuesday is believed to have injured two men.Surrey RCMP say offi cers were dispatched

to the 17900-block of 40 Avenue at about 5 a.m., in response to a report of shots fi red.

At the scene, they discovered evidence of a marijuana grow-op and a possible shooting, but no victims.

About 20 minutes later, police learned that two people suff ering from gunshot wounds were found in a parking lot across from Sur-

rey Memorial Hospital.Th e pair – two men in the 30s, both known

to police – were taken to hospital in serious condition.

“Th ese two incidents are still in the early stages of investigation, however, early indi-cations are that they are related,” Sgt. Dale Carr states in a news release.

Anyone with information on either inci-dent who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-

599-0502. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Fairgounds broken intoA computer was stolen and a window was

smashed when the administration offi ce at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds was broken into early one morning last week.

Security cameras from nearby Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino captured a

black SUV waiting in front of Shannon Hall for about 30 minutes on Oct. 23, before pull-ing in front of the Alice McKay building, and smashing a window. Th e glass was struck withsuch force, pieces were stuck in the oppositewall, according to a Heads Up! Business Alertcirculated by the Cloverdale BIA.

Anyone with information is asked to con-tact District 4 of the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-7642.

Surrey mourns slain soldiersJENNIFER LANG PHOTO

‘Thank you, Cpl. Cirillo,’ begins a note left alongside bouquets and votives at the Cloverdale Cenotaph in Surrey Museum Plaza, where the fl ags were fl ying at half-staff last week in recognition of the shootings in Ottawa and the attack in Quebec that claimed the lives of two soliders. ‘On guard forever, we will never forget,’ it continued. ‘May you rest in peace and your family know you are remembered.’ Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, was a reservist from Hamilton, ON, who served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was killed while on guard at the National War Memorial. Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent, who died after a hit-and-run, was 53. Flags were lowered at Surrey City Hall and at civic facilities after the tragic events, Mayor Dianne Watts said.

Scholarship to honour student’s memory

By Sheila ReynoldsA high school scholarship has been

set up in the name of a Surrey stu-dent killed in a car crash in Delta on Th anksgiving Day.

Chantal MacLean and her boyfriend Cody Kehler – both 17-year-old Clay-ton Heights Secondary students – died in a multi-vehicle accident on Highway 10 near Scott Road on the aft ernoon of Oct. 13. Th ey were on their way to a family dinner.

MacLean’s family has established a scholarship to honour Chantal, a tal-ented athlete who not only played on her winning school rugby teams, but also represented B.C.

Her sister Shakeira said the fund is intended to help carry on Chantal’s legacy as a passionate, dedicated and inspiring athlete.

“It will be awarded to a female stu-dent that exemplifi es the leadership qualities that Chantal had as well as her compassion for her teammates and tenacity towards her sports,” said Shakeira.

Contributions to the Chantal

MacLean Scholarship Fund can be made at any Coast Capital Savings branch, transit #301600, membership #40106956. Wire transfers may be sent to Coast Capital Savings, branch 146, account #08093016010110004050530, swift code: CUCXCATTVAN.

Th e Delta-based Britannia Lions Rugby Club, for which Kehler played (he, too, was a star athlete), has also set up a fund to help the Kehler and Ma-cLean families with the many unex-pected costs they are facing. Donations can be made at http://bit.ly/1raUMMP.

Separate memorial services were held for both teens last week.

I lived and worked in Terrace for 11 years, and one of the perks of being a newspaper reporter

in a remote corner of B.C. is the cool places the job takes you.

Th ere was the day I hopped on a Cessna six-seater, joining the NDP hopeful on the hustings in the fed-eral riding of Skeena – one of the nation’s largest in size if not popu-lation – touching down in Atlin, Iskut, Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek, where wild horses scattered from the gravel runway and the closest ATM was a 10-hour drive.

“If we drove, the election would be over,” the candidate reasoned.

Th en there was the fl ight to Mas-set on Haida Gwaii, the handful of helicopter rides, road trips to the Nass Valley, Prince Rupert and Kitimat, and, most thrilling of all, a ride-along in an aerobatic plane the size of my ‘87 Nissan Pulsar.

In early December 2001, cour-tesy of the Department of Foreign Aff airs and International Trade (DFAIT), I was invited to Ottawa for security briefi ngs for commu-nity newspaper journalists.

It was barely two months aft er the attacks on the Pentagon and New York City. But there were al-ready big changes in airline travel

and for anyone entering federal buildings. Ditch the nail clippers but don’t forget your soon-to-be security-enhanced passport. Th e World Had Changed.

Picture two-dozen journalists from places like Weyburn, Sask, Cochrane, AB, and Inverness, NS, shepherded through our nation’s capital by a French-accented han-dler who exuded an air of unfl ap-pable, career bureaucrat cool.

Many briefi ngs were on deep background only, meaning the stories we’d fi le at home would cite unnamed offi cials, and not the CSIS or RCMP offi cials we spoke with. Federal cabinet ministers like Allan Rock were less reticent.

We absorbed a troubling new re-ality of air marshals, locked cabin doors, and sweeping federal pow-ers, from pending border control measures to anti-terrorism legis-lation that would give police, our justice system and intelligence agencies broader rein.

Th e highlight for me was the day we went to Parliament Hill, al-ready home to strict new security measures. Bags were searched. ID scrutinized. Our tour included the rotunda, the press gallery, Senate, library, and the bustling House of

Commons during question period. We capped it off with a genuine media scrum in the hallway of this impossibly grand and imposing gothic building, school groups and tourists traipsing by.

Later, my MP Andy Burton (Conservative Alliance), the lik-able former mayor of Stewart, sneaked me into the Opposition lobby, strictly a no-go zone for journalists. But, since I was also a constituent, a peek was defi nitely fair game, he winked.

It’s a narrow, corridor of a room with computer pods and white boards, shared in those days with the NDP. A couple of doorways led directly to the fl oor of the House of Commons, steps away. Eyes wide, I took it all in, feeling more Cana-dian than I ever had in my life.

We were a world away from the dirt roads and wide vistas of north-ern B.C., surrounded by cathedral-like hallways and well-appointed legislative chambers.

Out in the hall, I took his pic-ture as he sat on the stone sill of an arched window. In the soft win-ter light, I noticed his lapel pin, a U.S.-Canada fl ag symbolizing his party’s dance for tougher anti-ter-rorism measures, and remarked on

his tie – bought at the parliamen-tary gift shop.

Trying to make sense of theshootings in Ottawa last week, Iwonder if that same window now has a bullet hole.

Marvelling along with the rest of the country at the heroics of Sgt.-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, I can’t helpbut think it would be a shame if Parliament became a fortress for the few.

Th e Globe and Mail describedVickers as a fi erce defender of pub-lic access to Parliament, citing aquote saying he approaches his jobconsidering the relationship thatmust be maintained between Ca-nadians and the Parliament build-ings, turning down a political press conference in favour of a schooltrip from Moosejaw, for example.

An observer noted, “It’s funda-mental to democracy that citizens have access to their place, theirbuilding. Th is is a House of Com-mons and it’s for the commoners,”according to the Globe’s Erin An-derssen, who added, “Something to remember… especially on agrim day such as this, when anattack on that place risks closing doors that once stood open.”

Christmas hamper helpers recognized

Organizers of a food drive that helped more than 300 families in Cloverdale last Christ-mas are kicking off this year’s campaign by fi rst saying thank you to the many schools, businesses and commu-nity groups that provide critical support.

Th e Cloverdale Christmas Hamper program is a non-denominational eff ort comprised of churches, businesses, schools and other community organizations. Last year, applications were up 15 per cent over 2012.

More than half of the non-perishable food items are collected by schools, says Kevin Lunder, who acts as program lead with his wife, Trish.

Last week, the Lunders and program school liaison Jon Pettigrew delivered appreciation plaques to long-time supporters in order to show how grateful and appreciative the program is of their exceptional hamper-raising eff orts, and to congratulate them for so many “devoted years of encouragement and

help to the Cloverdale community.”

“We just want to recognize people,” said Kevin Lunder. “It’s a big project, and we rely on the community to come forward.”

Monday, look for more than 300 dona-tion boxes at businesses throughout Cloverdale.

Visit www.pacifi ccom-munity.ca/ministries/cloverdale-hamper-pro-gram, or call 604-574-4001 ext. 107 to donate, volunteer, or apply.

Surrey school candidates debate educationBy Sheila ReynoldsImproving commu-

nication with parents, securing capital fund-ing and crime’s link to education dominated the debate during an all-candidates meet-ing for Surrey school trustee hopefuls.

About 100 residents showed up at the Dis-trict Education Centre Oct. 22 to hear from those running in the upcoming civic election for a spot at the Surrey Board of Education table.

Twenty of the 23 candidates attended the

meeting. Bal Sabharwal, Gary Tymoschuk and Terry Allen were absent due to previous com-mitments.

Th e fi rst question put to potential trustees was how they’d bet-ter communicate with parents.

Several candidates, including Sukhy Dhil-lon, Sara Sharma and Patricia Enair said the board needs to be more accessible and use tools like email, websites and social media to engage busy parents. Forrest Smith, who is deaf and spoke through an

interpreter, referred to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s website as a good example of wide open governance.

Rayman Bhuller disagree, however, saying not all parents, especially those with limited incomes, have the technology to be online all the time.

“Real incidents and real problems – they don’t just exist in the web world,” he said, adding trustees need to be on the street, talking face to face with the public.

Other candidates said

trustees simply need to listen.

“Parents want to know they’re going to be heard,” said David Matta, “and they want to know the people they elect are going to listen to them.”

Rina Diaz said there needs to be consulta-tion with Parent Advi-sory Councils or School Planning Councils – something the current board neglects to do, she claimed.

When it came to ideas for securing suf-fi cient capital money from Victoria to build

Surrey schools, opin-ions varied.

Bob Holmes noted Surrey is forced to spend $4 million annu-ally on portables due to a shortage of classroom space and gets no extra compensation from the province.

“Th e last I heard, the government told boards not to submit capital budgets because there’s just no money,” he said.

Nicole Joliet said gov-ernment has stripped millions from school funding over the years and then “sneakily” makes trustees make

the cuts and submit balanced budgets.

“You know what I’d do?” she said. “I’d sub-mit a defi cit budget.”

Balraj Atwal sug-gested the district get advice from a fi nancial advisor

Incumbent Trustee Laurie Larsen said she repeatedly invited Education Minister Peter Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark – to no avail – to spend a day in a Surrey class-room to see fi rsthand that space is needed.

Trustees were then asked about the correla-tion between education and crime.

“It’s not about bring-ing more police to the streets,” said Harman Singh, “it’s about bring-ing more education to the system.”

“It’s a lot easier to education our kids now than try to fi x them later,” said Jonathan Silveira.

Julie Tapley said it comes down to having the proper funding to off er kids programs that make them feel valued.

“When they don’t have that, the system fails,” she said.

Kirsty Peterson agreed, saying if schools don’t have programs and places where kids can fi t in, they’ll turn to

people and places out-side school for a sense of belonging.

A question about the new BC Education Plan – a provincial move to alter various aspects of education system – elic-ited few responses from candidates.

“Th ere’s great change coming to our children’s education system,” said Enair, referring to proposals altering report cards and graduation require-ments. “Our parents need to know what these changes are and they need to know how it’s going to aff ect their children.”

Niovi Patsicakis, a retired Learning Sup-port Teacher, said she feared some changes might negatively impact students with special needs, and that the gov-ernment’s drive for skills training could curtail academic focus.

When asked how to handle the increased demand for choice programs, incumbent Trustee Shawn Wilson said the board is proud of the programs (such as Montessori, French im-mersion and fi ne arts) that are off ered. But he said their popularity can oft en cause the board a real conundrum.See TRUSTEES / Page 8

The Stop and Go Gut(Constipation and Diarrhea in ADULTS)

CHRISTINE CHENG

Stop and go. Stop and go. Stop and go. Sounds like a bad day in traffi c? Or more like a diary of your gut this past week? Constipation and diarrhea are not only bothersome, but also bring along potential long-term health effects, so it is important to keep things moving. There are many non-drug and natural remedies to help you down this road.

Non-drug measures are the basis for maintaining healthy intestinal movement. Adequate intake of fl uids is important in maintaining proper stool texture. Water is the ideal fl uid as caffeine found in coffee, tea, or soda pop can irritate the intestine and lead to runnier stools or diarrhea. Similarly, if you consume a lot of juice or soda pop, the sugar content can also lead to looser stools. Try adding 2 to 4 extra glasses of water to your diet. WHAT you eat as well as HOW MUCH you eat can greatly impact your stools as well. Spicy foods can trigger loose stools by irritating your intestines. Not eating enough fi bre can result in inadequate bulk of the stool and since your body partially relies on the presence of a bulky stool in the lower bowel to trigger the need to “go”, if you don’t take in enough fi bre, or enough food for that matter, you may get constipated.

Regular exercise can help maintain regular bowel movements by decreasing how long it takes for food to go through your gastro-intestinal system, thus reducing how much water is absorbed from the food . Think about how diffi cult it is to pass a dry, hard stool to understand this concept. Also, if you can participate in aerobic exercise that gets your heartrate and breathing going, you are helping to stimulate the natural contraction of the intestinal

muscles, which can help move stools out quickly.Regular bowel movements are important

because the straining associated with constipation can result in painful hemorrhoids, bloating, gut distension, and discomfort. Chronic diarrhea can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, as well as the potential mal-absorption of nutrients and water. And regardless of whether you have troubles with constipation or diarrhea, gas can be a very uncomfortable.

To help us keep our bowel movements regular, it is important to get a variety of dietary fi bre from the plants in our diet. There are two types of fi bre: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fi bres absorb water and prevent stools from getting to dry and hard. They also play an important role in helping with weight control, maintaining blood sugar balance as well as helping to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol. Some common sources of soluble fi bre are oatmeal, lentils, apples, pears, strawberries, cucumbers, psyllium husks, and carrots. Insoluble fi bre has a laxative effect and help to add bulk to the stool. They are found primarily in whole grains and vegetables such as whole wheat, bran, seeds, nuts, celery, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, dark leafy vegetables, and the skins of fruits and vegetables.

If you fi nd it hard to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, there are some supplements that may help. FIBERLICIOUS® is a soluble fi bre derived from chicory root extract. It dissolves easily into your water, favourite drink or food and is safe for both diabetics and non-diabetics. Its naturally sweet fl avour means you could even eat if off a spoon. NUTRACLEANSE™ is a source of both soluble

and insoluble fi bre. It also contains several gut-soothing and bile-stimulating herbs to help with its other health benefi ts (e.g., maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels).

If you are already suffering from hemorrhoids caused by chronic constipation, then HEMOVEL™ is an oral tablet that can be used to help relieve the pain, bleeding and swelling of hemorrhoids. Its active ingredient, diosmin works by reducing infl ammation and by helping to tone the blood vessels in the anus and lower rectum.

If you are having problems with the “stop” or the “go” in your bowels, you can start by trying the non-drug suggestions above. If you do not experience any benefi t in about a week, consult with your doctor or pharmacist regarding symptomatic treatment with over-the-counter medications. Keep in mind that certain medications can cause constipation, while others can cause diarrhea. It is important to chat with your doctor or pharmacist about the possibility that your gut issues are related to your medications. As always, consult with your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional prior to engaging in any new physical activity or starting a supplement to make sure it is appropriate for you.

“When you put a choice pro-gram in a school, that sometimes means there’s not enough space for neighbourhood children,” he said.

Garry Th ind suggested deci-sions on where to place choice programs be based on the unique demographics, such a language, in specifi c neighbour-hoods.

In closing comments, in-cumbent Trustee Charlene Dobie pointed out she was the only current trustee who voted against board members receiving a raise this year, and has donated her $600 per year increase back to community school programs. Sikandar Hayat said if elected,

he’d donate at least 20 per cent of his honorarium.

Unearthing Surrey’s roots in the gardenBy Jennifer LangAn exhibition at

Surrey’s historic Stew-art Farm reveals the connection between tulips, a former mayor of Surrey, and the B.C. legislature.

Dig It!, which ends Saturday (Nov. 1), unearths early garden-ing practices in the city, featuring artifacts and photos from Surrey’s collections.

Th ey tell the stories behind the growing business of backyard gardening, along with contemporary paintings,

and the heritage garden.“Th e exhibit is about

gardening – it’s a cornucopia of tidbits of what we’ve learned in the past, and how it’s in-fl uencing things today,” says Jerrilin Spence, exhibit curator.

Gardening for plea-sure – rather than for sustenance – has been part of Surrey’s culture since its earliest days, and the passion has only grown.

Former B.C. premier William Vander Zalm, for example, got his start out of high school sell-ing tulip bulbs, and later

ran a garden centre. “He really got his start selling tulip bulbs,” she said. “His fi rst foray into the business world was gardening.”

Vander Zalm would later enter politics, fi rst as an alderman, then becoming mayor of Sur-rey, and fi nally premier of the province, but his garden would never be too far away.

He even penned a gardening book and ran Fantasy Garden World in Richmond.

Th e main focus of the small exhibit is the art and science and

technique of gardening and how gardening has changed through time – even as many things about gardening stay the same, says Spence.

Travelling salesmen used to sell seeds to the burgeoning home market of the backyard gardeners who would later crowd garden cen-tres like Art Knapp’s and Potters each spring.

Th ere have been ebbs and fl ows to its popular-ity over the centuries.

“Gardening took off in the Renaissance era,” Spence said. “Th en there was another peak aft er

the First World War. Th en, soldiers return-ing from war would garden for therapeutic purposes.”

Now, with throngs of Baby Boomers hitting their retirement years and opening up more leisure time, garden-ing is enjoying another surge in popularity.

Stewart Farm is lo-cated at 13723 Crescent Road in South Surrey. It’s open Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Entrance by donation.

After the prize draw at Surrey Museum Plaza in Cloverdale and posing for a group photo, participants went trick-or-treating at local busi-nesses. The annual event is co-sponsored by the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, the Cloverdale BIA and partners. Inside, the Surrey Museum hosted its annual Pumpkin Power.

Another off track was the case again at Fraser Downs on Th ursday night (Oct. 23).

Due to the fact many horses have been shipped to Fraser Downs from various tracks across North America, Race Secre-tary Darren Callaghan was able to have 12 races. Th e interesting point of that is 10 diff erent trainers won races with only Bill Davis and Rene Goulet scoring doubles.

Th e score is now tied 2-2 between two-year-old fi llies, Fast Lane Elektra and Mill-banks Writer, when they race against each other. Fast Lane Elektra won the third leg of the Betty Millbank stakes series to even the score, looks like it might come down to the post position draw in the $50,000 fi nal on Nov. 11 at Fraser Downs.

Friday night (Oct. 24) was a nice night for racing with a lot of diff erent stories. Jim Marino drove four winners,

with two of those coming from the Marjorie Dumont stable. Th at combination hit the winner’s circle with the good looking two-year-old colt, Mister Hat, in the third leg of the Robert Millbank stake series for his fi rst lifetime win.

Th e horse with the inter-esting name, Ladychaterlys-lover, also won for the fi rst time in the Mary Murphy stake series for three-year-old fi llies for Owners Th eresa White and Philip McLaren. Th e three-year-olds are all trying to qualify for the fi nal of the series on Nov. 11 for a purse of $75,000.

If you have followed the races in the past you might remember a young driver by the name of Amber Lancaster getting

her drivers license and waiting for that fi rst win, which fi nally came in 2012.

Fast forward two years and a lot has changed for Amber. Her last name is now Torkos aft er getting married in 2012 and when you see her in her street clothes you will see her carrying one-year-old daugh-ter (next month) Ava-Marie. Back to the races, Amber, drove long shot Left y Malone to victory and the winners

circle celebration was a very cute family photo.

Racing resumes Th ursday (Oct. 30) at 6 p.m., Friday at 7 p.m. and then we add Sunday, Nov. 2 at 12:45 p.m.

PET E

XPER

T

With Halloween around the corner it’s a good time to start planning on how you can keep your pets safe and happy when the trick-or-treaters come calling. While Halloween is great fun for kids, the fi reworks, strange costumes and constant ringing of the doorbell can spook even the calmest of animals. When dogs and cats are frightened they are more likely to run away from their homes, jump out of open windows or dart into traffi c. Stressed pets can also behave out of character —scratching or biting out of fear.

The BC SPCA off ers these Halloween safety tips:

Keep pets inside

Pets who are inside have fewer opportunities to confront trick-or-treaters. Some pets do well left in a separate room with the radio or television on to mask the sound of fi reworks and trick-or-treaters. Be sure to leave plenty of toys in the room for your pet so that he doesn’t think he’s being isolated as a punishment. If your pet fi nds the doorbell disturbing, consider disconnecting the doorbell for the night. Alternatively, you can leave a bowl of treats near the door outside where trick-or-treaters can help themselves.

Identifi cation

Make sure your pet is wearing identifi cation.

Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threatened. Clear, current identifi cation is your best chance to have them returned to you.

Don’t console your anxious pet

While it is natural to want to comfort

your pet if he or she is frightened of fi reworks, it is better to use a

bright, cheerful

voice to send a

message that things are fi ne. Avoid

saying things like, “it’s OK” or “don’t be scared” in a soft or sympathetic voice. This only reinforces your pet’s fearful behaviour.

Candy is for people

Candy can lead to health problems such as diabetes or obesity, and chocolate is especially dangerous because it contains theobromine,

which is toxic to dogs and cats. Keep treats well away from your pets.

Leave home without them

While you might think it would be fun to bring your pet trick-or-treating, your pet may not share your view. The strange sights and sounds of Halloween can cause a normally friendly dog to bite if they feel scared or threatened.

Don’t costume your pet

Dressing your dog in a costume inhibits his ability to communicate normally with other dogs, making him prone to display aggression himself or be subjected to aggressive behaviour from other dogs.
