Food drive in overdrive Christmas Hamper campaign has exactly one month to go

Carrying on the tradition

A child looks out from her vantage point at Monday’s Remembrance Day ceremonies in Cloverdale. Another massive crowd turned out for this year’s service at Surrey Museum Plaza. Many families brought small children to the event. For more, turn to page 6.

By Jennifer Lang An annual food drive that saw more than 230 Cloverdale families through the Christmas season last year is once again looking for donations of food, cash and volunteer support. The Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program, a non-denominational food aid program that runs on the combined efforts of the entire community, is accepting applications from needy families. It’s also ready to accept donations of food, cash and new gifts for children and youths. By the end of last week, more than 200 donation boxes had been distributed to businesses, schools and churches throughout the Cloverdale area, ready for this year’s appeal, says Kevin Lunder, who acts as program lead along with his wife, Trish.

Hamper pick-up day is early this year – Saturday, Dec. 14, so Lunder is urging supporters to have their donations in no later than Dec. 9. It will take volunteers the rest of that week to sort donations and assemble hampers in time. The hampers are filled with a week’s worth of fresh and non-perishable food. It takes an army of volunteers to man the assembly line in the warehouse of Pacific Community Church. Shifts will be running daily from 1:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. from Dec. 8 to 13. Volunteers range from Cubs, Scouts, and Guides to youth hockey teams, Kwantlen Polytechnic University students and families. About 75 to 100 volunteers turned out daily to help last year. “There were a lot of families last

Cloverdale BIA executive director Paul Orazietti confirms that several businesses have complained about the project (“Site works bad for business,” Oct. 10), citing vibrations caused by heavy equipment and other problems, including laneway access to their business. He said problems arise when merchants don’t get adequate warning that access will be cut off or that there will be roadwork going on directly beside their business. “There’s been times when it’s a full day,” Orazietti said, referring to road closures along the 175 Street right-of-way, an access point for deliveries and parking. While the city has a right to impede traffic when construction takes place, Orazietti notes, notification has not been timely enough for merchants who need to make alternate arrangements for deliveries and other considerations. “They need to give notice, in advance of the date,” he said. “The more notice you can give, the easier people can prepare.”

Donations are key. Food items, gifts, and cash are all urgently needed. “Last year, we were just a little concerned with the financial donations coming in,” Lunder said. A last minute infusion of support helped put the program in the black. Both local Price Smarts and Marketplace IGA–Cloverdale are on board. He said businesswoman Jen Temple has joined the team to help with donations and advertising. Lunder asks that people making food donations check to ensure the items have not outlasted their best before date. “We’ve had boxes and boxes of food that had

Pot: what’s the big deal? To the editor; Re: “Store acts as petition sign up spot,” Oct. 3 As someone who does not see a problem with the legalization of marijuana, I don’t think it makes sense to not legalize it or at least decriminalize it. Cannabis can be used as more than a recreational drug. It has many benefits for some people with certain medical conditions. Of course there is going to be some people who will abuse the privilege, but there are many people who abuse the privilege of alcohol and tobacco. Many can even argue that marijuana is better for you than both tobacco and marijuana. People die every day from dumb decisions they made while impaired by alcohol. People also die every day from illnesses or diseases

they get from smoking tobacco. None have died from too much marijuana, although I acknowledge that fact that there are some downfalls to marijuana. I think that if we try to control and show some trust to people who use marijuana, you will be surprised at how little things would change. I do not believe that it would up the crime rate or death rate. There are many petitions circling already in hopes of legalizing marijuana. I honestly don’t think it would change much. And with the money that was saved from trying to patrol it we could use it elsewhere. The places that have already legalized it make a profit at the end of the year.

Missing mail is a mystery

Alyssa Clegg doesn’t think legalizing marijuana would really change much.

To the editor; Our store has been without mail delivery for over a month starting in early October. I first went to the local depot, which is hidden away in a warehouse complex. I joined a line of residents who were waiting for their mail as their mailboxes had been burglarized. When it was my turn, there was no mail. I am concerned, as certain pieces of valuable mail are missing.

I have contacted the Post Office Ombudsperson and they replied that they would look into the matter. I phoned M.P. Mr. Russ Hiebert’s office and they said they would would look into it. Meanwhile no mail.... I wonder if there are other residents not receiving their mail? Frederick W. Sutherland Cloverdale Antiques

Residents invited to another meeting on new Clayton park Once completed, Hazelgrove Park will be largest in East Clayton By Jennifer Lang A spray park, playground and walking loop are among the items topping residents’ wish list for Hazelgrove Park in East Clayton. The items were among the top 10 features identified at a Sept. 10 open house and an online survey, according to Surrey Parks Planning and Design. Including a spray park/splash pad in the new park topped the list, with 58 per cent of respondents identifying those features as a priority. Washrooms were a close second, at 57 per cent, followed by a playground (54 per cent), walking loop (49 per cent), picnic

area (40 per cent), nature/forest area, sports field, youth park and tennis court. A second public open house for the Hazelgrove Park project is planned for next Tuesday, when residents can review park concept plans and provide city staff with feedback, further refining the park’s design. Hazelgrove park is part of the East Clayton Neighbourhood Concept Plan. The site, located between 190 and 191 Street, north of Hazelgrove Elementary, will be turned into a community park with outdoor recreation facilities and greenspace, including features for team sports, youth and chil-

ing out onto the lawn and beyond Monday as hundreds turned out for Remembrance Day ceremonies in Cloverdale. Along with veterans, air and army cadets, large contingents of RCMP and emergency service personnel took part, including paramedics and firefighters.

They were joined by members of the public, including many families with young children. The Cloverdale United Church Choir sang several selections, and the RCMP E Division Pipe Band was on hand for the Nov. 11 service and ceremonies, which included observing two

minutes of silence to remember the sacrifices of Canada’s fallen servicemen and women, and the laying of wreaths at the Cloverdale Cenotaph. One was laid by Hans Anderson, 92, who served from 19391946 and wastaken prisoner in Italy in 1944, and held until war’s end.

The gathering was treated to two flypasts of vintage military aircraft in formation. After the service, the colour party from Cloverdale Legion Branch 6 led the parade back to the legion hall. The Surrey Museum and Surrey Archives were open to the public for ‘Surrey Remembers.’

the unseen danger of diabetes It occurs when small blood vessels in the retina weaken and leak, or when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina. The result is impaired vision and, potentially, blindness. Anyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetic eye disease. But often there are no

symptoms until the disease is advanced. For that reason, we recommend that anyone with — or at least risk for — diabetes have a comprehensive, dilated eye examination at least every 6 months. Early detection and treatment are the key to maintaining healthy vision.

‘He never gave up on himself ’ Cloverdale’s Brad Goodchild has been recognized for for his off-field contributions By Gary Ahuja Wins and losses are important, but so is giving back to the community and helping others, and one member of the Langley Rams junior football team has been honoured for his efforts. Brad Goodchild, an offensive lineman for the Rams, was presented with the Ron White Community Service Award last month at halftime of his team’s loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Football Conference’s championship game. He has also earned the Canadian Junior Football League’s Past Commissioners Award, presented Nov. 8 in Regina at the CJFL Banquet of Champions. The award is for football players who are recognized by their coaches and peers as leaders on and off the field and who give unselfishly to their

Goodchild and his brother showed up at their grandparents’ home and were taken in. Until that point, the grandparents did not know the extent of their daughters’ addiction problems. Despite all this adversity, Goodchild thrived in the classroom, skipping Grade 8 and graduating from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in 2010 with a 95 per cent grade point average. He also earned a scholarship from the Cmolik Foundation, a B.C. based charitable foundation which awards scholarships to EVAN SEAL / BLACK PRESS

A leader on the field, and off it: Brad Goodchild, 21, is earning kudos for his character.

community. The 21-year-old Goodchild was selected for the award and nomination for everything he overcame over the past eight years. In a 2011 story in the Langley Times, Goodchild shared just how

much he had overcome. And based on that story, he was selected the winner of the Ron White Award. The story detailed how at age 13, Goodchild was taking care of his younger brother Jake, registering him for

school and dropping him off and picking him up. With his father not a part of their lives and his drug addict mother going missing for weeks at a time, the boys were evicted from their Surrey rental home.

financially-challenged students who have overcome a significant barrier or disadvantage in their life. Goodchild is in his fourth year at Simon Fraser University, where he is studying psychology with the hopes of becoming a youth counselor. He is also mentoring a pair of young men at his former high school. “It gives us the op-

portunity to recognize very special young men who are committed to the game and to their team as well as to their family, friends, the community and to the world,” said Ron White, the man whom the award is named after and who selects the winner.

unbelievable circumstances,” White said. “He succeeded when it would have been easy to fail (and) he never gave up on himself. “He now shares these life experiences mentoring students as his contribution to the community.” Goodchild has also recently come in contact with his mother, Jaeson Goodchild. Next month will mark two years clean for her and she contacted him and his brother in the past few months. “That was part of her making amends as part of the 12-step program,” he said. And while Goodchild says he has moved on from growing up without his mother, he would still like her to be a part of their lives, especially for his younger

brother’s sake. “I have done quite a bit of growing up without her,” Goodchild said. “(But) I was really more interested in her being healthy and being available for Jake. I don’t really need a mother in the same way that Jake does.” Goodchild wants his 13-year-old sibling to experience the mother he remembers before the addiction took over. “She was a great mom back when I was really young,” he said. “She used to come to all the field trips at school and used to work and took care of us and it was awesome. “It just kind of fell apart and I would just like her to be the same kind of person for Jake.”

The Mexico Vivo Dancers are part of the festivities at Saturday’s Mexican Fiesta at the Surrey Museum.

It’s fiesta time By Jennifer Lang Latin music and Mexican food are a few of the attractions Saturday afternoon at the Surrey Museum, hosting a Mexican Fiesta as part of its ongoing Discovery Saturday Series. If you’ve ever wondered what The Day of the Dead is about, come out from 1-4 p.m. Nov. 16 for a

taste. There will be dancing, crafts, and an introduction to Mexican culture and the Day of the Dead festival, courtesy of Latincouver, a multicultural non-profit organization bringing Latin Americans living in B.C. together. The Mexico Vivo Dancers will perform regional Mexican dances and share the background and history of each dance. “I feel great love and passion for my Mexican culture and music,” says founder and director Maria Hilmer. “The purpose of this group is to share this with the public through our dances.” Children can make crafts and attend a special Day of the Dead story time at 2 p.m. The museum’s Honey Hooser Textile Studio will have authentic, handwoven and embroidered material from Mexico. Munch on organic tortilla chips and salsa, or purchase a snack from the cup-a-corn vendor. The Surrey Museum is located at 1771056A Avenue. For more, visit surrey.ca/heritage, or call 604-592-6956.

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