The same thing happened a couple of weeks ago, according to Montgomery, BASES department head at Clayton Heights, who immediately complained to TransLink, but never heard back. So when the bus left Parker on the curbside again, they decided to contact local media in hopes of get-

Students at Cloverdale Christian School pedaled Oct. 2 in support of Cops for Cancer, the annual fundraiser for childhood cancers. Last week the school also hosted the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley’s closing ceremonies.

A day in the saddle for ‘Cops’ Students spin for cancer – and in support of two classmates who have fallen ill

Run, run Rebel An athlete with a Cloverdale connection ran away with first place at a recent U.S. invitational cross country event. Surrey’s MacKenzie Rolland took first place at the 38th annual Mount Baker Invitational Cross Country Race.

News

in brief Rolland, a Grade 12 student at North Surrey Secondary, represented her high school’s senior girls team in the junior

varsity race, which had over 500 participants. She completed the 2.79 mile (4.7 km) course in 21:46.58. The competition was held Sept. 22 at Silver Lake Park in Maple Falls, Washington. In addition to cross country, MacKenzie plays on her school’s field hockey team at Cloverdale Athletic park. She has another local connection – during lacrosse season, she referees and plays out of the Cloverdale Arena as a Surrey Rebel. – Cloverdale Reporter

cer is something that has been on our entire school community’s heart.” The school’s support of Cops for Cancer is a way to show support, in turn, for those students and families. The 2012 Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley wrapped up a nine-day, 900-km journey Oct. 5, after stopping at Cloverdale Christian School and Latimer Road Elementary. Cloverdale Christian School also hosted the tour’s closing ceremonies. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer initiative has raised $27 million since 1997.

Pet Expert

By Jennifer Lang To understand someone else, it helps to walk a mile in their shoes. Or, in the case of the Cops for Cancer tour participants, pedal a kilometre (or two) on a bike. Last week, Cloverdale Christian School held a Spin-a-thon called Saddle Up in support of Cops for Cancer. Students rode bikes in the school from 12:30 p.m. to 2:50 p.m. Family members, alumni and community members were invited to sign up to ride from 5 to 8 p.m. later that day. Every student in the school was involved in riding a bike in the gym for the cause. They were also given the chance to dedicate their ride to someone they know who has been impacted by cancer. They were emulating their heroes – the members of law enforcement and emergency responders who cycle hundreds of kilometres each year in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Proceeds from Cops for Cancer go towards research for childhood cancer, along with programs such as Camp Goodtimes. It’s not the first time the school has pulled together – and reached out – in supporting the Cops for Cancer cause. Last year, 23 students, school principal Jon Mayan, and several family members shaved their heads as part of a fundraising campaign that brought in more than $7,500 in donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. For the past 14 months, the school’s connection to the cause has taken on greater significance, says Mayan. “Two of our students have been battling cancer over this last year,” he said. “The reality is children with can-

Playing it safe with dogs Lorie Chortyk

Protect your pets at Halloween 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 fireworks, 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 traffic. Stressed pets can also behave out of character —scratching or biting out of fear.

Don’t console your anxious pet While it is natural to want to comfort your pet if he or she is frightened of fireworks, it is better to use a bright, cheerful voice to send a message that things are fine. 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.

The BC SPCA offers these Halloween safety tips:

Leave home without them While you might think it would be fun to bring your dog 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.

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 fireworks 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 finds 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. Identification Make sure your pet is wearing identification. Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threatened. Clear, current identification is your best chance to have them returned to you.

Come check us out online!!

www.newmacanimalfeed.com Coupons and special offers available.

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.

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. For more information on how to make this Halloween a safe one for your pet, visit spca.bc.ca . Lorie Chortyk is General Manager, Community Relations, with the B.C. SPCA.

The Bieber of politics?

Why are the newsmedia so fascinated by the personal lives of Canada’s politicians? The knives are out and the carving has become a bloodbath – and I’m not talking about the latest horror in the cineplex. The American presidential election and all of the pundits who have nothing nice to say have not only become fodder for Fox News or CNN, the message they espouse is finding its way into pop culture – and I’d wish it would go away. Don’t get me wrong, there’s room for politics in music and art – just look to the songs of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan or the rap of Lupe Fiasco – but nowadays, those politicians who try to appeal to a younger generation by being “hip” just make my eyeballs ache. Case in point: Celebrity gossip show Entertainment Tonight recently ran a story on how Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann Romney, loves the TV show Modern Family. The media and political campaigners were smacking their lips on how a Mormon and staunch conservative would love a show that tells the tale of a modern-day family that includes a gay male couple who adopt a young girl. My thought was that’s nice, but who cares. Now what’s your take on same-sex marriage, lady? And why is it every time American “journos” talk about Michelle Obama they have to mention what designer she is wearing. Ya, she looks good, but

BLACK PRESS

Justin Trudeau speaks at a federal Liberal party event in Richmond last week.

what is her husband going to do about the mission in Afghanistan and the joke that is free trade with our country? The politician, or his/her spouse, as a celebrity figure has gotten out of hand. And it’s not just in America. It’s happened in our country and it’s about to happen again. Whether he was giving the finger to detractors on a train passing through Salmon Arm, or showing up at a gala with Barbra Steisand on his arm, our late PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau was more than just a politician. He tended to show up on the pages of celebrity magazines as much as he did in the news pages.

I don’t think this was his choice, but nonetheless, photographers still gobbled up his every move on the dance floor. There’s even a site on the Internet detailing all of the women Trudeau dated after his marriage to Margaret Sinclair. (And it’s quite the list. Rumour has it that Bianca Jagger was one of them.) Speaking of Margaret and (Mick) Jagger. Who could ever forget her tryst with The Rolling Stones?? The Trudeaus were the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, of their time. And now we have their kin, Justin Trudeau, heading in the

Points of view

same direction. Yes, Canada is about to have another celebrity named Justin (groan). Let’s face it; Justin is, how do I put this, hot. And now that he has announced his candidacy for the federal Liberal party, it should be a real dog and pony show. Expect to see Justin’s gleaming mug on eTalk, hosted by another former prime minister’s son, on your TV set in the near future. Pretty soon we’ll know what shampoo he uses, who his favourite band is, and what his wife is wearing when they walk up the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival in the pages of Hello! Magazine. And hopefully when warrior woman Marg Delahunty (a character comedian Mary Walsh invented when she was on This Hour Has 22 Minutes) comes after him, and she will, he’ll not run for the hills as Toronto’s shamed mayor Rob Ford did. He’ll lap it up. It’s good for the image, y’know. And politics should offer a little entertainment once and a while. But really, I think it’s time we get down to some serious issues when it comes to the state of our union, don’t you think? And this is coming from an entertainment editor. My take, put the politician as celebrity at the back of the Inside Edition and showcase what they really think, not what they wear.

Lots of questions for Surrey council

To the editor; Now that everyone in Surrey is working for the City of Surrey sorting garbage, my questions is, do we all get paid from the money saved or in fact generated by energy recovery. Will our utility fees be reduced? Will our taxes go down? Will we get a small dividend cheque quarterly, or will the city spend it somewhere else? Will the mayor and council take an extra trip? Remember gas taxes and how there were to pay for roads but now go to general revenue to pay for all the pet projects of those we elect. Tolls, user fees, cost reductions, sort your own garbage, yet our city grows by over 1,000 people a month. Do we build new schools as

needed? Does the city fix the pot holes in our deteriorating roads? Do we hire bylaws people and then do we actually enforce bylaws, or is it just “general revenue”? Our city is deteriorating; there is shiny new stuff, but who is looking after the existing things? The parks, the roads, the rinks, the fields, the people. The things that matter to Surrey. It seems to me that the current council believes Surrey’s history started in 2005. Our city needs to protect, preserve and maintain its current infrastructure as well as plan and build for the future. Protect our investments, our homes, our streets, our communities, enforce bylaws and hold those that violate them accountable. While the city closes bylaw of-

The Cloverdale

fices, opportunists do what they want. A $25,000 fine for flagrant violation of a tree bylaw is peanuts considering the expansion potential for house size and lot layout. If the future that lives here is about breaking bylaws for a cost, that is a future we must avoid. When we see clear cuts of parks and streams and people’s private property, something is definitely broken. Perhaps the city would like us to sort the garbage and enforce the bylaws. While they cut ribbons and cut red tape regarding rules, someone cuts the trees. Gary T. Robinson Surrey

Brawl becomes bloody Two men were injured Saturday when a brawl at a Cloverdale McDonalds got nasty. At about 1 a.m. last Saturday, two groups met up in a parking lot of a McDonalds on 64 Avenue and 176 Street. The fight escalated when two men brandished knives. The reason for the fight is unclear at this point. One of the men who was stabbed went to his home on 164 A Avenue and his family called 9-1-1. All the injuries appear to be non-life threatening. Police are investigating. – Black Press

HARDWOOD FLOORS If you’re a do-it-yourselfer and are about to take on the job of installing your own wood flooring, here’s a handy tip from our flooring experts.... Make sure you have a suitable subfloor down securely before installing your solid hardwood flooring. Incorrect subfloors will lead to creaking, and popping sounds and your fasteners will loosen over time if they do not have a proper bite.

Archives series breathes new life into Surrey’s past

Photographs, ads, anecdotes and more in upcoming fall programs

By Jennifer Lang You’ll gain a new perspective on your city this fall, thanks to the Surrey Archives, where a new program series is about to get underway. Growing Up in Surrey, presented Oct. 13, offers a look back at Surrey through the lens of different generations. Photographs and reminiscences will paint a picture of what it’s like growing up in our city. Before 1900, Surrey only had a handful of roads, and less than 2,000 residents. Surrey Pre-1900, presented Oct. 20, looks back at Surrey’s early years. Business as Usual (Nov. 3), uses photographs, vintage advertisements and more to help highlight prominent businesses in Surrey’s history, including

the Surrey Co-op and the Surrey Leader. Surrey From Above (Nov. 10) offers a whole new point of view. Fly high from above the city and see Surrey from above through aerial photographs from the Archives collection. All sessions run from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. They’re for ages 16 and up. Register by calling the Surrey Archives at 604-502-6459 or the Surrey Museum at 604-592-6956, Tuesday to Saturday. You can register for all four sessions and receive a discount, otherwise they’re $10 each to attend. The Surrey Archives, located at 17671 56 Avenue are open Tuesday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Temporarily closed from 1-2 p.m.). Admission is free.

Women are transformed, educated

Wills, Powers of Attorney & Representation Agreements

‘They come with nothing... or handmade prosthetics made with birdseed in it’ From page one

B.C., a breast cancer survivor, realized there was almost nothing in the way of help for these impoverished Mexican women. She gathered up donations and supplies, giving away 28 prosthetics to the women of the state of Nayarit. The Cancer de Mama clinic was born. Since then, a growing army of volunteers have organized the clinic in La Penita each year over a three-day weekend in early February. Throughout the year, women in Canada and the U.S. raise funds and collect the necessary donations. Part workshop, part clinic, the aim is to provide women with a free range of services, from counselling and physical therapy to wigs, scarves, hats, and properly-fitted bras and prosthetics. There are now close to 120 volunteers taking part, including nurses, doctors, sewers and fitters, all working to help Mexican women survive breast cancer with comfort and dignity. “They can’t afford a

buy a properly-fitted bra much less a prosthesis. Doctors assist with any attendant medical issues the women have. “They’re dealing with infections and all sorts of trauma issues,” she says. “It’s heart wrenching. But there are glimmers of smiles. They feel like maybe there’s some hope and it’s the first time maybe they’ve felt that in their whole life,” says Hogenes. During the clinic, they are fitted with four bras, so they’re sent home with a wardrobe of bras, plus two prosthetics, and a wig. “We always give them a pink bra,” notes Hogenes. “Mexican women are colourful – they love pink.” They also have a chance to get their hair styled and make-up done. Hours later, the transformation is complete. “The change – that’s what’s touched me. It’s incredible.” Each year, volunteers bring new skills to the table, such as the therapist from Omaha who specializes in lymphatic drainage and wants to offer training to women at the clinic.

“A lot of them, once they’ve had surgery, they’re on their own.” - Yvonne Hogenes bra, they can’t afford a prosthetic – a lot of them have waited all year to come down. It’s a big event for them,” she said. “They come with nothing, or bras they’ve tried to sew, or handmade prosthetics made with birdseed in it.” It’s difficult to imagine just how marginalized impoverished women with breast cancer are, says Hogenes. There are no support groups, before and after cancer care, and no funds to

“Education is really the key.” This year, Hogenes says a class on healthy eating is planned. She wonders about the role diet plays in the disease; it’s not uncommon to see mothers in their 20s at the Cancer de Mama clinic. Accessing medical care presents a very real obstacle for these Mexican women, too. “It costs money to get on the bus to see a doctor,” she says. “A lot of

them, once they’ve had surgery, they’re on their own.” Each year, the group

takes on a few cases of extremely needy women, ensuring they are cared for by a physician for a full year. In issuing the bra challenge, Hogenes, and her cohorts in other Canadian and U.S. communities, hopes to spread word about a growing cause. “Our goal is to see it in many cities across Mexico as a model. I think it can be a model for other countries, as well.” Donated bras are cleaned and have the

underwires taken out. Volunteer sewers create prosthetic pockets in the cups, too, so the bras are fresh and ready for the clinic. Women who bring in their gently used bras, wigs, prosthetics and hats during the month of October will receive $10 off their TAB custom fitted bra purchase. Donations can be dropped off at Malary’s Fashion Network at 5755 176 Street in Cloverdale, or call 604574-6402.

Cloverdale mechanic roars to speed record By Jennifer Lang A local mechanic set a new track record at Mission Raceway last month. Alex Pate, 27, sped around the 1.7 mile racetrack in just 1:04:817, a fraction of a hundredth of a second behind his qualifying race. He also beat his own record of the year before. In 2011 – competing for the first time in more than 10 years – Pate set a new track record during the ICSCC Labor Daze Classic at Mission Raceway with a time of 1:06:082. The formula style cars are capable of amazing speeds, and are equipped with a motorcycle engine. Pate’s top speed at the 2012 event last month was 201 kmh, enabling him to shave nearly two seconds off his previous track record in the In the

Canadian Federation of Autosport Car Club-sanctioned event. “The cars are capable of 240 kmh with a longer straightaway, like the one at Pacific Raceways in Washington,” he says. Pate is a crew chief for the Firman West Cars race team. His teammates let him drive on race day as a birthday present. “And he gave them the track record,” according to his dad Walter, who runs a Cloverdale-based company called Maximum Overdrive Software with son Jamie specializing in scoreboard software. Pate keeps his driving skills sharp with a race simulator and by racing online. The simulator is a pretty common driver training tool, with iracing. com’s being the most widely used, he says.

CELEBRATING SMALL BUSINESS - OCTOBER 14 - 19, 2012

It all starts

with building a relationship with the customer

salu t e to small business in Cloverdale

hen it comes to the economy, small businesses do some heavy lifting: they employ more than 1 million British Columbians and represent 98 per cent of all businesses in the province. A small business is one with fewer than 50 employees, but most are far smaller than that; in B.C. 82 per cent of small businesses in 2010 were those with fewer than five employees. Small businesses have tremendous assets that can work to great advantage over their larger, big box competition, according to Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association. He says it all starts with building a relationship with the customer. Making sure they feel valued is key. “You want to make people who visit you to feel good about that.” At its core, Cloverdale’s small business sector is a community-within-a-community, built on personal interactions and shared connections. As with any relationship, it takes two. As we celebrate small businesses Oct. 14 to 19, as consumers, it’s worth recognizing how much they give back to the community. Local businesses are involved in every aspect

of Cloverdale, from sponsoring kids sports teams and donating goods and supplies for local schools, to helping out their favourite non-profit causes. “Everybody has a different charity,” notes Orazietti, who liaises with dozens of local business owners and their staff. “Small business is all about relationships. It’s a wonderful symbiosis.” And it’s through the support and participation of so many local businesses, big, medium and small, that there are so many events to look forward to throughout the year, from the Blueberry Festival and Rodeo Days to the Halloween Costume Parade and Santa’s Parade of Lights. Small businesses also contribute to employment in a big way, by providing good, local jobs. Despite the global economic downturn, between 2009 and 2010, B.C. small businesses employment climbed 1.3 per cent, which is higher than the number of employees hired by large businesses. The historic Cloverdale town centre has more service-oriented businesses than straight retail, Orazietti notes. Both types of businesses can provide a level of customer service bigger companies simply cannot Continued on page 3

With a smaller independent

I get more one-on-one service as a customer From front

hope to duplicate. “You are creating a relationship with people and to give a sense of uniqueness and extra service that can’t be supported by a larger store.” He uses the example of a local computer store he patronizes. Sure, he’d probably pay less for a new computer from a franchise or across the line in Washington State. But down the road, he’ll pay more for the service he’ll need on a product that initially he saved money on. Big retailers slap add-ons for service “extras” that come included when you shop local and support small business. “With a smaller independent, I get more one-on-one service as a customer.” It justifies spending more because it will save you in the end, he adds. For the same reason, on-line shopping hasn’t closed down all brick-andmortar retail. However, he says it’s important for small businesses to recognize that consumer habits have changed. Your cus-

tomers are used to shopping when it’s convenient for them – not when it’s convenient for you. “It’s up to you to understand and meet the needs of the area.” Small businesses often have the flexibility to adapt and address the evolving needs of their customers. Consider the impact of e-commerce and shopping or cross-border shopping (buoyed by the strong Canadian dollar and recent changes to daily duty-free limits.) The task is to recognize the needs and wants of your customer base. Do research, he advises. It needn’t be elaborate. “A lot of it is listening to your customers and seeing what they want. In many respects it’s about sitting back and listening to people.” For more information on small business in B.C., visit www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/ StatisticsBySubject/BusinessIndustry/ SmallBusiness.aspx, or the resource centre for Small Business at http://www.resourcecentre.gov.bc.ca.

Galini

GREEK KOUZINA & GRILL It has been seven years since Galini came into existence and thirty-five years since executive chef John Ikonomou opened his first restaurant in Steveston. Much has changed since then and now with the entire family’s involvement in Galini; this “newest” restaurant gains depth from the variety of skills and years of expertise. Yet the vision remains true to what it always was – cooking with fresh ingredients from scratch, to yield un-fussy and honest food, at an affordable price point. It resonates with the family’s upbringing on the Mediterranean coast, where the food is wholesome and full of flavour from the aromatic herbs, beautiful tomatoes and simple olive oil & lemon marinates. Although Greek in heritage, the restaurant has established itself as a core member of the community, “I am very grateful for the support and positivity from all our customers, they are truly the beating heart of the restaurant, and seeing everyone having a good time not only gives me joy, but keeps my passion alive”, says John. Since the restaurant is so deeply part of Cloverdale’s identity, its menu has hybridized to reflect the eclectic nature of the community. Therefore, Certified Angus Steaks are a specialty, pastas with homemade sauces are a favourite, seafood is sustainable in part of the Ocean Wise initiative, stir-fry’s are flamed, the schnitzels are prepared daily, gluten free options are available, and grilling is all done with pure olive oil. What binds everything together is the Mediterranean mentality of cooking everything from scratch, with simple, fresh ingredients. jOHN IKONOmOU

Seven years ago, the restaurant sought to raise the bar, and prove that independent local restaurants are the key in the social cohesion of the area. But the effort does not stop at the food, hardworking friendly staff and the warm interior of Galini have all added up to what the family feels is their greatest accomplishment. In return, you the community have accepted Galini with open arms, and for this, they are grateful. As an appreciation, appetizers between 4-6pm are half-off until October 31st, Many thanks from everyone at Galini!

Our Community. Your Newspaper. Community newspapers boost the local economy – both through advertising and news coverage. They showcase community businesses at a time we need to be shopping local, investing in the community and protecting local jobs. They allow “mom and pop” businesses to reach their most likely customers. They help neighbours get to know each other a little better. They report on local schools, sports teams, people and events, reminding readers of the things they like so well about their community. Community newspapers are much more than paper and ink. Community newspapers pull communities together. They help connect people with those around them. In this way, community newspapers provide a valuable form of public service.
