Donation boxes in the warehouse.

By Jennifer Lang If you’re in need, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program is there to help. The locally-operated volunteer initiative runs through the combined efforts of an entire community of local individuals and groups, distributing hampers and gifts to Cloverdale’s less fortunate residents. Churches, schools, plus many businesses and organizations all work together to ensure Christmas comes to everyone in Cloverdale. Last year, more than $50,000 in donations of cash and food helped 325 adults and 200 children. “That’s about 300 families,” says Kevin Lunder, who heads up the program along with his wife, Trish. The Lunders are members of Pacific Community Church

at 5337 180 Street, which acts as a nerve centre each December, when hundreds of hampers are assembled inside its ample warehouse and a large toy room is created. Already more than 200 donation boxes have been deployed across Cloverdale, inside businesses and schools. “This year, more than ever, we need the cash donations,” says Kevin, who also asks that people who are donating non-perishable food items ensure that any canned goods are not past their expiration date. He asks that donations are in no later than Dec. 10, to leave enough time to assemble the hampers. “More than 800 boxes of food are put together, which is huge.” The program will need volunteers to help work on the hamper assembly line at the warehouse during “Hamper Week,”

Monday Dec. 10 to Saturday, Dec. 15, between the hours of 1 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. Shifts of 1 to 2 hours are available, or whatever you can spare.

Legion locals awarded Queen’s Jubilee medal Cloverdale Legion members honoured for their significant contributions By Jennifer Lang Cloverdale’s Earle Fraser is the latest member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 who has been awarded a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for significant achievements and contributions to the community. The medal was created to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th anniversary of ascending to the throne. Fraser received the honour Nov. 10 at a ceremony at South Surrey–White Rock–Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert’s constituency office. Fraser said other members of Branch 6 have also received the Diamond Jubilee medal – Bill McLennon and Michael Cook. Cook, treasurer of Dominion Command, is a life member of the Cloverdale Branch. Accord-

Earle Fraser

Michael Cook

ing to Legion Magazine, Cook has been involved with the Legion for more than 50 years, serving as branch president, zone commander, and provincial president of the B.C./Yukon Command. He has also served 17 consecutive years on the Dominion’s Executive Council. He’s also past-president of the Cloverdale Board of Trade, and is a retired distributor for Shell Canada Ltd. He’s also a recipient of the

meritorious service medal, palm leaf, and the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal. Early this year, Fraser was one of 13 British Columbians presented with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation for his work on behalf of veterans. He’s currently serving as first vice president of Branch 6, where he has been instrumental in efforts to restore the graves of Surrey’s First World War veterans. In 2010, about 60 graves at Surrey Centre Cemetery in Cloverdale – including some that had never been properly marked and were nearly forgotten about – were refurbished and re-dedicated. Fraser also spearheaded efforts to raise money to restore the Cloverdale Cenotaph, which was relocated to Surrey Museum Plaza and rededicated in 2006.

Job centre makes it official By Jennifer Lang Local job-seekers and employers are invited to drop by the new Cloverdale Employment Services Centre today to learn more about programs and services. Guest speakers at the Nov. 22 grand opening include Minister of Social Development Dr. Moira Stilwell, centre staff, and David Young, the CEO of Sources Community Resources Society. The centre provides free job search assistance and workshops, including resumes, interviewing, networking, accessing the hidden job market and more, along with employment counselling, wage subsidy program resources, and information on selfemployment. The resource centre also has computers, internet access, telephones, fax, copying and job postings for job hunters, who range from mature workers looking for part-time employment to augment pension income to those who have grown frustrated with their job search or are looking for help putting their resume together. The centre is a WorkBC Employment Services centre, which is part of the Employment Program of B.C. – launched on April 1, 2012 when the provincial govern-

ment restructured how employment services were delivered in B.C., said Cheryl Scardifield, program manager of the Cloverdale Employment Services Centre. Today’s grand opening runs from 1:30 - p.m. to 3 p.m. Emcee is Bill Reid of the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce. The centre offers services for employers, too, including free job posting, pre-screening and access to a pool of qualified job candidates, wage subsidy program information to offset training and hiring costs, and job creation partnerships. The services are free to all unemployed and underemployed people

in the community. The centre offers customized services for immigrants, youth, aboriginal people, francophones, persons with disabilities, survivors of violence and abuse, and people with multiple barriers to employment. Located at 101 5783 176A Street, it has a staff of 11, serving residents of Cloverdale and Port Kells. Clientele range from youth just entering the workforce to highly educated and skilled people with many years invested in the labour force, she said. Since the new program was launched, the centre has seen more than 3,000 visits and has provided direct, indi-

vidualized employment services to more than 800 community members, along with more than 400 people seeking apprenticeship supports and funding. Cloverdale’s employment participation rate is the highest in Surrey at 73.8 per cent, and the lowest unemployment rate at 3.9 per cent. Sources, previously known as Peace Arch Community Services, is a veteran when it comes to providing employment services, operating both the Employment Resource Centre in White Rock from 1998 to 2004, followed by the Employment Resource Centre in Cloverdale in 2004.

Why do we adults expect teenagers not to engage in bullying, teasing, or threatening peers when we do the same?

Even the Prime Minister has been labeled a dominating, bullying and misusing his powers to get what he wants. The supposedly most respected individual in Canada’s inappropriate behavior is constantly in the news. It is human nature to strive to belong to a specific group, wanting acceptance and often this is achieved by putting down others,

GMO foods find an audience A recent community forum on genetically modified foods drew a crowd of more than 100 to the Fraser River Presentation Theatre in Langley. Harold Steves, a Richmond city councillor, was a late addition to the speaker’s list. Steves, who was instrumental in getting the Agricultural Land Reserve legislation passed in the 1970s, has been a champion in getting his fellow councillors to declare Richmond a GE Free Zone, according to Phil Harrison, one of the event organizers. Steves spoke about his personal experience with the seed supply, with multinational companies like Monsanto and Dupont buying up most of the independent seed companies, to the detriment of the heritage seed supply, explained Harrison, who’s planning to be part of a delegation appearing before Surrey’s agricultural advisory committee on Dec. 6. Keynote speaker Lucy Sharratt spoke about the science of genetic engineering, and about which foods are genetically modified (currently, Canada’s foods are not labeled this way). She also talked about the latest foods to undergo a genetic transformation that may be introduced on our grocery shelves, including the Arctic apple in the Okanagan, and alfalfa. The event, presented by the Council of Canadians Surrey-Langley-White Rock, Society for a GE Free BC, and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, also raised $345.

If you have installed a new door and the hinges seem like they don’t line up, one of the following solutions may be of help to you. Using a hammer, lightly tap the hinge that is higher than its partner to line them up. The pins should then slip into place. Failing that, loosen the hinge that will not go on, then put it into place and tighten the hinge back up. Come see us, we’ll tell you all about it.

C’mon and vote, Cloverdale! Local minor hockey team takes its appeal for support to YouTube in hopes of winning grant money By Jennifer Lang The Cloverdale H4 Eagles Minor Hockey team is asking for your support in Best Buy’s All-Star grant contest. And they’ve taken that request to YouTube, where the team recently posted a catchy video to highlight the cause – all while making a broader point about the value of sport, teamwork, and dedication. The video is a plea for votes in the contest, which runs to Dec. 6. The team is competing for a $2,000-grant from the national home electronics outlet. “I’d like to introduce you to 14 great players from the Cloverdale Eagles,” the voiceover begins, as the camera pans

past a line of young players in an arena locker room. One by one, the boys turn around to face the camera and shout their last names. “Bath.” “Caruso.” “Gill.” “Hiatt,” and so on down the line as each player introduces himself. The clip ends with the team answering the question, “Who should people vote for?” with an enthusiastic exclamation: “Eagles!” A written description included along with the video fills in more details. “One day, maybe, just maybe,” it reads, “one of these names will be in a starting lineup somewhere, playing in the big leagues.” The blurb writer notes while the

chances of that happening are slim, it’s important to remember the boys’ names for another reason: “Each one of these boys will grow up to be someone important… the options are unlimited.” The description then says the players are learning some valuable life lessons, namely, that working hard pays off, that teamwork matters and that above all else, it’s important to have fun. As of early this week, the team’s ranking had slipped to fourth spot out of 217 teams. Visit http://ow.ly/eA9kP to register to vote. Voting is open to Dec. 6, and it’s possible to vote every day.

savoring the rewards of a great season. The Night Riders captured their first district banner last month, beating perennial Surrey powerhouse Earl Marriot by just one point in the season aggregate. It’s an historic win for the team because the field has traditionally been dominated by the southern Surrey secondary schools of Marriot, Semiahmoo and Elgin Park – not to mention their crossCloverdale rivals, Lord Tweedsmuir. Helping to turn it around for Clayton Heights were sisters Christina and Julie Sevseks – twins who appear to be in synch when it comes to their sport of choice. The two girls finished every race this year in a two/three placing, but the twins were unable to beat Elgin runner Danielle Steele all season long. But the Sevseks were on her tail for all five of Surrey’s official meets – plus the Fraser Valley Championships, held in late October at Aldergrove’s Big Rock Lake Park. The twin dynamos are a product of north Cloverdale’s HIllcrest

Elementary, where Christina and Julia ran off with countless first and second place cross country ribbons. The girls – Christina in front, Julie hot on her heels – had a habit of lapping the field. But the sisters’ finishing gap appears to be closing now that the girls have entered high school competition, with a number of close finishes this year, including the last meet, where Julie was behind her sister by only a few paces. In order to count full points on the season

aggregate, a team must have four runners at a meet, meaning number three-and four-place runners placings are critical. The other members of the girls Grade 8 team also played a huge role in the championship, including Rylee Singleterry, who finished in the top 10 in all five of her races, a steady, season-long performance that helped put CHS over the top. “Without her, there would not have been a title,” said Gary McLaughlin, an instructor at the school

who is helping publicize the team’s district cross country banner. Also critical to the Night Riders’ this season were runners Michelle Peters and Kai-lin Shergill, late additions who were released early from the school’s volleyball team and who consistently placed in the top 15. The Seveks, Singleterry and Peters all played full time on the school’s Grade 8 volleyball team and also play community soccer. The team is coached by Steve Robertson and Sarah Daintrey.

Feds, city target the Cloverdale Library

The City of Surrey is contributing $52,500 to reno project

By Jennifer Lang The Cloverdale Library is getting new windows and skylights along with other improvements, thanks to a $103,000 maintenance upgrade that’s being cost-shared with the federal government. The $50,000 in federal funds will help the City of Surrey replace the library’s exterior walls, windows, skylights and part of the building’s roof. The city is sharing costs with the federal government, which is contributing $50,000 through its Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund, or CIIF. The fund supports, on a cost-share basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure accessible to the public. South Surrey–White Rock–Cloverdale MP Russ Heibert made the announcement Nov. 14 at the Cloverdale Library, on behalf of Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. He was joined by Surrey acting mayor Mary Martin and councillor Barinder Rasode, along with library staff and Lorne Aniuk, project manager of operations and maintenance for the City of Surrey. “We’re replacing the windows on

the lower level,” Aniuk said, “and replacing the exterior siding, it’s quite tired.” The skylights in the upper floor that are beyond their life cycle, he added, explaining a portion of the roof on the back end of the building will also be replaced. Located at 5642 176A Street, the building is a former justice building that was refurbished to house the Cloverdale Library in 1985, meaning it’s older than it might appear. The library was formerly located in what’s presently home to the Surrey Archives next door. “The building was built in the early 1970s I would think so the windows are beyond their life cycle, and they’re single-panes, too,” Aniuk said. “We’ll get more energy efficiency by replacing the windows.” The project was just one of several similar announcements in Surrey last week. For instance, the Fleetwood Library is receiving $150,000 in federal funding through the same program, enabling the City of Surrey to replace boilers with high-efficiency models, along with a hot water tank and cooling tower. Hiebert, who lives in Cloverdale, said his four young children are avid users of the Cloverdale Library.
