By Jennifer Lang Visitors to Cloverdale Station last weekend were treated to a tantalizing image of the past, thanks to a special guest attraction, a well-appointed 1912 Detroit Electric car. In the words of one admirer, it was a chance for Surreyites to imagine a time when it was possible to drive your electric car to a local train station and ride electric commuter rail all the way to Chilliwack. The car, owned by the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association, is a feature exhibit at the Stave Falls BC Hydro Powerhouse Museum and was temporarily on view in Cloverdale. The electric car was built the same year as the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Soci-

The Detroit Electric car was manufactured by the Anderson Car Company, had a range of close to 100 miles, and was a popular alternative to the gas-powered cars of the day, according to Ron Powers of the FVHRS. Electric cars were a favourite of high society, who preferred the car to taking the train, Powers said, adding women liked electric cars because they didn’t require a hand crank to get them started, unlike their temperamental gas-powered contemporaries. But unlike the Interurbans – passenger

The two-passenger coupe with a third seat was owned by Mrs. French, a veterinarian’s wife who lived her later years at the Empress Hotel in Victoria. The car was kept charged in the garage of the hotel, where staff delivered it to the entrance whenever she phoned down. It was driven regularly until 1950. Mrs. French’s car is still in running con-

dition, although the original nickeliron batteries had to be switched out – but only because they were starting to leak, Powers said. It’s now powered by 96 volts consisting of 16 lead batteries that give it a range of 60 to 80 km, and a top speed of about 38 km/h. Many of its other original features are still delightfully intact, from the refined, cut-crystal flower vase hanging above the dash, to padded leather seats, generous headroom (better to accommodate the large ladies’ hats of the day), and interior electric lights. Curved window glass is another expensive, and complicated, feature of the 101-year-old car. The side windows are raised and

lowered by straps, rather than rolled, and the engine is tucked beneath the wooden floor boards. The engine is similar to those used in elevators at the time. In the early days of the automobile, electric cars outnumbered those with gas-powered internal combustion engines on the road, and were considered reliable. Powers said thousands were produced over the few decades the Detroit Electric manufactured them. With a top speed of 25 mp/h (40 km/h), VEVA’s 1912 Detroit Electric won’t win any races. It’s steered using a tiller bar with the right hand and speed is controlled with the left.

After living in Surrey-Tynehead for 30 years, federal election hopeful Dave Hayer has moved to Clayton Heights, where his new home will be squarely inside the Cloverdale-Langley City riding. Hayer, who spent 12 years as Liberal MLA for Surrey-Tynehead, stepped down from provincial politics, but hopes to head to Ottawa as an MP. He intends to run for the Conservative Party of Canada’s nomination for Cloverdale-Langley City, a new riding created as part of a redistribution of federal electoral boundaries. In a Sept. 12 press release, Hayer explained when he decided to seek the nomination here, one of the first priorities on his to-do list was to sell his home in Surrey-Tynehead and purchase one in the new federal constituency. He also continues to hold regular “Coffee with Dave” meetings at The Pantry at the Ricky’s Restaurant in Cloverdale on the fourth Saturday of the

month. He also invites potential constituents to join him at The Pantry in Langley on the second Saturday of the month. From 3:15 to 4:30 p.m.

Red Hat alert

Historic downtown Cloverdale will be awash in reds and purples this Saturday, when more than 200 members of the Red Hat Society arrive for a day of fun. About 100 of them will be taking a ride, in shifts, on the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway’s restored Interurban, rolling out of Cloverdale Station. “Many of our Ladies will be riding the interurban tram as well as spending time shopping through your many stores and boutiques,” warns Norma Gosling, ambassador queen for the Cardinal Cs, an Abbotsford branch of the Red Hat Society, who adds the distinctively dressed visitors will also be patronizing many restaurants in the area.

Langley school locked down From page one

“You don’t want to run from any dangerous wildlife. Just back away. Let them know you’re there.” He also suggests people take precautions with house pets by keeping them close by or indoors. Last Thursday, a cougar was sighted near an elementary

school on 201 street south of 72 Avenue in Langley, putting the school under lockdown over the lunch hour. And last month, a cougar was spotted prowling throughout the area of 192 Street and 72 Avenue on the Surrey/Langley border. The B.C. Environment Ministry offers additional safety tips for cougar encounters, including keep the cougar in view, and

quietly make the animal aware of your presence. Pick up children immediately. Back away slowly, ensuring the animal has a clear avenue of escape. For more tips, visit www.env. gov.bc.ca/cos/info/wildlife_human_interaction/docs/cougars. html. Report dangerous wildlife sightings to the call centre at 1-877-952-7277.

Why stop there? What a drag

To the editor; Re: “Rubber hits road for B-Line,” CloverdaleReporter.com, Aug. 23 I can’t believe that this isn’t being offered down Fraser Highway on the 502 route. People are having to wait three buses to get on at Central City and people are jammed in like sardines. Maybe TransLink is trying to force people on this side of the bridge to drive their cars, in turn paying the gas tax and the bridge tolls. Denise Marlin Cloverdale

More negotiation needed The way a new recycling program appears to have been handled is shocking, to say the least How kind that the industry group Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) is willing to give municipalities a few extra days to consider its proposal for picking up our cans, bottles and papers on their behalf (See “Deadline extended,” Page 8). While the idea of the producers paying for recycling packaging and printed paper makes sense, the way this program appears to have been handled is shocking, to say the least. Among the many problems that some of the region’s mayors have identified are a take-itor-leave it policy on accepting the terms; lower than practical contamination rates that could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars; and low-balled fees for collecting the stuff via existing blue boxes and cart pick-up programs. Many cities were left scratching their heads when the producers group set a Sept. 16 deadline for accepting its terms (that date is now open ended for those needing time to consider), and offering a program that was less flexible than the existing,

more or less successful, system. Here’s how it was supposed to work: MMBC would pay cities to collect the recyclables instead of replacing the existing system. Cities would be reasonably compensated and the program could go ahead without taxpayers subsidizing the program. At the same time, producers would

add the cost of recycling to the goods paid for at the till. Now, with the program in jeopardy, some cities may be opting out, which means consumers could pay twice: at the till and through their property taxes. More negotiation is clearly needed to sort this out and the

province may have to step in to make sure any new producerspay model is fair to all. In the meantime, cities need to do a better job explaining how to keep contaminants out of the recycling system and to show how taxpayers end up paying extra for putting non-recyclable stuff in their blue boxes and carts. Many people are still not on board with recycling, resent the imposition on their daily lives and do the job half-heartedly while others fill up their blue boxes properly and have leftovers with no place to store them. If people understood the value of recycling, they may be more inclined to participate properly. But if the producers do their job grudgingly, then how can we expect consumers to do theirs with care?

Charlene Wright is drawn to the intense, vivid colours of chalk pastel on wood.

The Wright stuff Chalkboard sign artist takes work to the next level By Jennifer Lang Cloverdale’s Create-it Emporium is hosting a gallery opening for a local artist who works in bold, unconventional colours and is fueled by a desire to help others unlock their own creative potential. Charlene Wright started out as a chalkboard sign artist, designing menus for restaurants, bars and other businesses, and has logged more than two decades of creative work. More recently she’s devoted her creative and professional efforts to her artwork: chalk pastel illustrations on wood. She’s drawn to the medium’s intense, vivid hues, which allow her to create spectacular, whimsical landscapes, and abstract and representational still life works. An ongoing showcase of her artwork will be on display this fall at Create-it Emporium, located at 17582 56A Avenue. Her chalk pastel works are sealed to look and display like paintings – there’s no fear of smudges or chalk dust flying off the canvas. She experimented with materials for preserving her work, finally coming up with a mix of her own. She completes the painting, then applies a liquid layer on top, a process that can have unanticipated, beautiful results. The final product is a gleaming veneer that is as beautiful as it is durable. In addition to focusing on her own creative output more intensely, Wright, a creativity coach, instructor, and artist, also recently launched her own business – offering mobile art classes and creativity

coaching. “My clients are like me, busy women who want time to explore and unlock their creativity as a way to de-stress, or simply as a fun way to hang out with their girlfriends,” says Wright, a resident of Cloverdale. As artist-in-residence at Create-it Emporium, an arts and crafts studio that specializes in paint-your-own pottery and more, Wright teaches a popular class called Paint Like a Master. In a few hours, she promises to show even artistic newbies how to create their very own masterpiece in acrylic – whether it’s a Tom Tompson, Van Gogh, Monet or Lawren Harris. Her goal is to make art accessible, creative, convenient and fun – empowering others in the process. In launching the showcase of Wright’s work, Create-it Emporium is carving itself a berth in Cloverdale’s artistic scene. The gallery opening is Thursday, Sept. 26 from 7 to 9 p.m. For more details, please call 604-574-4044.

Budding Cloverdale author Dawn Carson is on a crusade against negativity

Buying or selling Real Estate?

By Jennifer Lang Bright, friendly, and personable, Dawn Carson is the sort of person who seems to exude positive vibes from every pore. She has expressive eyes and a wide, warm smile. She talks animatedly about the process of writing a book – her first. Practice Positive: A Simple Guide to Becoming a Positive and Happy Person, is exactly what it sounds like – a resource for people who struggle with negativity in their life. There’s advice for all ages, personalities and budgets. “Everyone is all, ‘Is this the one about the breakdown?’ No, it’s not,” she laughs. But she does credit the most difficult period of her life with making her an expert on creating your own positive vibes. It turns out a naturally sunny outlook couldn’t shield her from a crushing blow. In late 2006, she suffered from what she describes as a severe breakdown that left in the depths of depression, riddled with anxiety and fear. She spent six weeks under psychiatric care. At one point she was on 10 different medications she says turned her into a zombie. “It was destroying my body.” She weaned herself off the medications, realizing that in

the long term, she wanted to find another way to manage her anxiety and depression. And so began a six-year journey of self-discovery and research as she sought help through alternative medicine and therapies. One of her first stops was the library, where she hazily scanned the stacks for anything she thought might be useful to her. She took per-

sonal development courses as well, eventually compiling a tool kit of tips and techniques that she uses to keep from falling back into old coping skills that weren’t all that helpful. “We have coping skills we don’t recognize aren’t healing,” she says. She stresses she’s not a doctor, and is adamant that medical intervention was necessary and welcome in her case, and

Tour de Valley rides A team of 25 law enforcement and emergency services personnel will set out on an 800 km bicycle trip on Thursday, Sept. 26 to raise funds for pediatric cancer programs and research. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley begins in Aldergrove and travels through more than a dozen Fraser Valley communities before ending in Abbotsford on Friday, Oct. 4. In every community, the tour stops at schools and supporter businesses to promote the ride and its cause. The Tour de Fraser Valley includes participants from Surrey to Mission, including Cloverdale’s Chris Rosenberger, a Border Services Agency officer and team captain, whose daughter, Sophie, now five, has been cancer-free for two years.

that conventional medicine was a crucial element of her journey to wellness. “I’m not a doctor. I’m not telling you not to take medication – that’s just not true. I needed something.” She says maintaining a positive mental outlook does take work, but to Carson, it’s the foundation of the sense of wellbeing she enjoys today. Practice Positive is the sort of book she wished had existed – and could have turned to for help – when she was recovering from her breakdown. Through the book, she shares a range of ideas with readers hoping to reduce stress, limit negativity in their lives, and simply enjoy life more. One of the most useful tools she discovered is to perform a daily emotional checklist. Before she rises from bed to start her day, she goes through a list of things she’s grateful for, a task that’s so ingrained it’s become habit. “It was a challenge at first. You do have to work at it. It’s not a magic pill.” She was eager to share her discoveries with others – keen to save people time and frustration by passing along the best advice and tools she picked up

See WRITING / Page 10

The program started in 1994, when an Edmonton police officer with a shaved head posed for a photo with a young cancer patient. The officer wanted to support the boy, who was being ridiculed at school because of his hair loss. Other officers joined, and Cops for Cancer was launched. It has since expanded across the province to include four tours, raising more than $25 million to fund pediatric cancer programs and research through the Canadian Cancer Society. Money donated to Cops for Cancer is also used for the operation of Camp Goodtimes, a summer recreation program at Loon Lake in Maple Ridge offered at no cost to children affected by cancer and to their families.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Falling into place, in more ways than one. As the Cloverdale Chamber Annual General Meeting approaches for October 8th, it is has been an honour and a pleasure to work with this year’s board of directors, and for the membership. The Cloverdale Chamber has been an active participant in a number of major events in the community including the recent Blueberry Festival and we are working with the Cloverdale BIA on the upcoming popular Halloween Costume Parade and the exciting Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights. The Cloverdale Chamber has been a strong voice in working with the City’s other Chambers and Boards of Trade on economic initiatives in the City of Surrey. The Cloverdale Chamber is developing a new brand for its corporate identity that will demonstrate its commitment to higher standards. The new look will be unveiled before the end of the year and will be part of a new wave of products and services that Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce will offer its members. As Bill Reid would say, “Nothing Happens Unless First There is a Dream!” Why not consider being a part of the dream...

Many say Surrey is the City of the future, from our booming population, new University campus and City Hall to our new Performing Arts Centre and Library. We are attracting investment and jobs right in our own backyards. Did you know over the past five years incorporated businesses in Surrey have risen by 10 per cent, according to B.C. Finance Ministry stats. Last year, roughly 2,000 small businesses opened their doors in Surrey. We know that small business in the backbone of a strong local economy in every corner of British Columbia. Small businesses represent 98 per cent of all businesses in our province. They employ over one million people - that’s 57 per cent of all private sector jobs in the province and the second-highest rate in the country. Many of these businesses are familyowned and operated, and one of the most important products of a small business is the positive effect they have in our communities. This October, I want everyone to recognize small businesses, as well as their owners and employees, throughout B.C. Owning and operating your own business is no easy task. It’s work that requires immense courage, imagination, dedication and drive. You work long hours and invest everything you’ve got into making your business a success.

Get Growing for business.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University Cloverdale Partnerships help build strong skilled trades programs

Henry Reiser Dean, Trades and Technology, KPU Cloverdale

ICBC CLAIMS & GENERAL PRACTICE 5690 - 176A Street, Surrey

As the only polytechnic university in Canada, KPU is well positioned to help address B.C.’s looming trades shortage, estimated at 160,000 skilled workers by 2015, including 60,000 future construction jobs in the liquefied natural gas sector alone.

•

The Cloverdale campus encompasses three wings with 21 workshops and close to 30 classrooms for almost 1,000 students. But with plenty of room to grow, it will be the catalyst for the expansion of advanced, clean and green technology-based industries.

Monthly membership meetings with guest speakers provide information on issues pertinent to business. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month, unless otherwise notified.

•

Promotes local businesses to visitors and the community.

•

Access to business information (our library of books on business,

New programs underway or in development, such as metal fabrication, low voltage controls and building restoration, will complement existing welding, carpentry, masonry, electrical, plumbing and automotive programs.

magazines and newspaper clippings).

However, KPU can’t address the skills shortage alone, and that’s why the university has partnered with school districts, industry and First Nations to ensure it remains relevant and responsive, its classrooms continue to connect to the community, and its graduates have the knowledge and the skills to succeed in the real world.

•

Access to an affordable Group Life, Medical and Dental plan.

KPU has also reached out to attract new students in the trades by:

· organizing special events and open houses and guided campus tours; · hosting the annual regional skills competitions attended by students from high schools across the region; · offering in partnership with school districts the popular Foundations and ACE-IT (Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training) programs, giving high school students first-level training in trades like plumbing and carpentry; and · ensuring flexible scheduling options to accommodate a wider range of students.

benefit providers including Payworks, Versapay, and several major oil companies.

Participate in fun events like the Bed Races, Blueberry Festival, and the Santa Parade of Lights.

By all accounts, KPU is a reflection of and belongs to the community. Industry and business partners are important for students to be successful after they graduate and that’s why the university encourages businesses to sponsor its apprentices to meet their immediate skills needs. KPU is also working proactively with the Surrey Economic Development office to identify any gaps in local workforce training, and further invites and encourages local business leaders to participate on KPU’s Program Advisory Committees (PACs) so that programs continue to align with their needs as well.

Membership is $100 per year.

From page 6

in an easy-to-read, easyto-understand format anyone can use. The tips in her book won’t work, she says, unless you’re willing to do some work and figure out your own “stuff ’. To that end, she recommends taking a course on self-awareness or self exploration, such as signing up for a meditation class. Carson had wanted to write for years, but never knew quite how to go about the nuts and bolts of constructing a book. At the library she came

across a three-hour seminar on how to write a book in 40 days being offered through Langley continuing education. The speaker was Bob Burnham. Carson was so inspired, she started writing the very next day. “And 25 days later, I finished writing the book,” she says. “The big thing I took from it was selfpublishing is really the way to go, and you don’t have to edit [your work] as your write.” Along with learning how to create and follow a template, she also took to heart the advice

to write in a conversational style. “It made it so easy,” she said. When it came to the cover design and having professional photos done, she drew upon local talent. Her author photo was done by Brittany Ybarra and the book’s graphic design is by Tonia Lenk of Ideas In Bloom. Within weeks the copies she’d ordered arrived. She invited friends and family to a book launch in June at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre. Her parents sat in the front row.

Deadline extended: more time for cities to mull over recycling role

But print publishers will need to indicate if they’re in – or out – by this week

By Jeff Nagel The new agency in charge of a producerpay recycling system coming for all packaging and printed paper is now pledging to give cities more time to decide how they’ll participate. Multi Material BC had come under fire from civic leaders who are protesting what they call unreasonable terms for their cities to act as curbside recycling collectors when the new system launches next spring. Much criticism centred on a Sept. 16 deadline for cities to either commit to a contract to be a collector for MMBC, let the agency contract out blue box pickup to other collectors or else keep running recycling services without compensation from MMBC. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said last Friday that deadline only applies for cities that want to be contractors when the

rollout takes place in May of 2014, while ones that take more time can still join later. “Some municipalities say they want more time to evaluate the offer,” Langdon said. “We’re leaving it open-ended. They need more time, so we’re giving them more time.” The provincially mandated program aims to make retailers, goods producers and newspapers that generate waste packaging and printed paper responsible for its collection and recycling. Rather than replicate existing municipal recycling pickup systems, it was expected MMBC would pay cities to handle single-family residential collection. But several mayors say the payments MMBC has offered cities is too low. Cities fear they’ll lose money and that their residents may end up paying twice to support recycling – once through their taxes and

then again in stores as MMBC member retailers pass on their costs through higher prices. Municipal leaders also warn the new MMBC system may mean worse service – MMBC could, for example, arbitrarily switch to less frequent pickup – and there are doubts as to whether recycling rates will improve or that producers will be motivated to use less packaging. Vancouver council voted Thursday to indicate it wants to provide recycling services under a contract to MMBC, but “subject to negotiation of a mutually agreeable contractual and financial arrangement.” Vancouver’s city manager and city engineer said they “cannot responsibly recommend signing” MMBC’s current offer, estimating the city would be short at least $5.3 million per year.

comed the relaxation of the deadline but said MMBC must also show flexibility on terms. “There is a reason to impose deadlines but we don’t need to put ourselves under such pressure to make a deal,” he said. Civic leaders at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this week are expected to debate an emergency resolution on the topic demanding a formal extension and other changes. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the province’s strategy to shift packaging responsibility to industry sounds good in theory but must work in the real world. “If at the end of the day British Columbians have less access to recycling programs, and less waste is diverted from landfills, this policy has not been a success,” he said. “The government needs to step in to ensure this doesn’t happen.”

So far the newspaper industry has also balked at joining MMBC, citing differences over its share of the system costs and threatening to create their own newsprint collection system. MMBC wanted print publishing firms to indicate by Sept. 20 if they’re in or out. – Black Press

From Bantam A to the big leagues By Rick Kupchuk It wasn’t too long ago that Tyler Wotherspoon and Laurent Brossoit lived just a few minutes apart in Cloverdale, playing minor hockey on the same team. A lot has happened since those days with the Cloverdale Colts Bantam A team. They spent the next season together in Major Midget hockey with the Valley West Hawks. Both went on to play junior hockey, Brossoit with the Edmonton Oil Kings and Wotherspoon with the Portland Winterhawks. Both were drafted by a National Hockey League (NHL) team. And both will start their professional careers this season. But on a rink in Penticton earlier this month might have felt like old times for the 20-year-olds. Wotherspoon and Brossoit were on the same team again, playing for the Calgary Flames at the Young Stars competition. “We lived about five minutes away from each other,” said Brossoit, a goaltender. “Even when we were on the Cloverdale Colts, we were good friends, we’d hang out together.” In Penticton, it was all

he keeps it real simple.” Admitting it took a few shifts to get his timing back, Wotherspoon was pleased with his first test at the professional level. “I felt good. I was a little slow after the summer break, but after a while I felt comfortable out there,” he said after practice. “Right now I’m just trying to play my game, play it steady, and show the management they can trust me and play my role. “I like to be a reliable guy, and getting the trust of the coaches is huge for EMANUEL SEQUEIRA / BLACK PRESS me.

always ended up meeting in the finals,” said Brossoit. “It was awesome, there was some pride and competitiveness within the friendship. A lot of people can’t say that they played against their best friend in a WHL final.” Teammates for many seasons before becoming friendly rivals in the WHL, they will likely be on the same side again. Barring the unexpected, both are likely to be living at home in Surrey while playing for the Flames’ farm team in the American Hockey League – the Abbotsford Heat. “It’s a win-win situation for me,” said Wotherspoon. “It would be amazing to play in Calgary and play in a great city. But even going back to Abbotsford there’s a lot of great things there. It would be an honour to play for them, and have a lot of friends and family at the games.” “To have the chance to play in your backyard is a pretty cool feeling,” Brossoit said. “I can even live at home, I’m so close.” Maybe just five minutes away from his teammate. – Black Press

Life doesn’t stand still; maybe your mortgage shouldn’t either by: Feisal Panjwani, AMP Your Mortgage Expert www.YourMortgageExperts.ca For many Canadians, their mortgage is something that goes into auto pilot until it comes due, just another bill that needs to be paid. You might assess your other finances, but your mortgage is set in stone, right? Actually, it should not be that cut-and-dry, especially when you take into account the rest of your financial picture. A mortgage should be a key part of an overall financial strategy, and not something that is simply signed and forgotten.

penses like university tuition, renovations, a wedding, new career, vacation or new vehicle. When you have established equity in your home, you may want to look at leveraging that equity for investments, business, or a revenue property. This may be a strong consideration if you are worried that you aren’t saving enough for your retirement years.

As your lifestyle changes you will want to ensure that you have a mortgage strategy that fits your financial needs. Whether you’re just newly married, starting a family, or planning for retirement, it makes sense to reassess your mortgage when you enter into a new life stage because your borrowing requirements can shift.

You may also want to revisit your mortgage if you are making more or less money than you were when you began your mortgage, or if you’re carrying too much high interest credit card or other debt that is eating away at your monthly cash flow. By consolidating that debt into a new mortgage you’ll save on interest costs, have one easy payment and boost your monthly cash flow.

If you’re just getting started you want to focus on building good credit and ensuring that you can manage the debt you’ve taken on. As you get busier with work and family and need to balance many commitments, you may need some added flexibility. For example, getting a line-of-credit as part of your mortgage can help manage larger purchases or ex-

At least annually, it is important to re-examine your mortgage to make sure it’s meeting your current needs, and is on track to help you reach your financial and homeownership goals. Be sure to always benefit from expert advice and make sure you have a mortgage strategy that is property structured and integrated into your overall financial picture.
