Clayton Heights assault isolated incident: police Girl’s screams scare off the man who grabbed her around neck By Jennifer Lang Police are asking for the public’s help identifying and locating a suspect they say grabbed a teenager near Clayton Heights Secondary School on a Sunday afternoon. On July 27 at around 2 p.m., the Surrey RCMP responded to a report of an assault on a 16-yearold girl who was walking on a pathway behind the school on her way to meet a friend. That’s where a man approached her from behind, put his arm around her neck. She screamed, and the man let her go. He then fled on foot, heading northbound. Despite extensive patrols and searches of the area with a police dog, investigators have not yet been able to identify the suspect, resulting in an appeal for public assistance issued last Friday.

Clova Cinema owner Craig Burghardt auctioned off movie memorabilia on the theatre’s final day on Aug. 3. The theatre, which opened 67 years ago in Cloverdale, played its final film following the auction: Dead Reckoning, the first movie it played in 1947.
Saying goodbye to a classic The Clova Cinema made ‘everyone feel like family,’ say patrons as the iconic movie house closes its doors
R
eaders and residents are mourning the loss of the Clova Cinema, which closed last weekend after 67 years of operations in Cloverdale. In a final newsletter to subscribers titled One Last Goodbye, Clova Cinema manager Samantha LeDrew revealed how staff gathered to share stories, took part in a scavenger hunt (posing on the roof for pictures) and watched a final movie by themselves. “And at the end of the night, we cleaned up one last time, turned off the projectors and the soundboard one last time, and turned off the lights, and locked the door,” she wrote. Spotted on the marquee early this week was a message to patrons: “Thank you everyone for letting us be a part of your life,” it read. “Best wishes. Love, the Clovamily.” In return, we’d like to say thanks for the memories and magic. Main Street just won’t have the same sparkle without the Clova Cinema. You will be missed, but cherished. Here are some of the comments our readers left at www.cloverdalereporter.com and on our

Townline plans to start marketing project in 2015 From page one
tion of phase one, which includes a new home for the Cloverdale Legion, along with residential units – by the end of 2014 or early 2015. The rest of the site will require ongoing remediation and risk mitigation measures through 2015, he said, meaning a certificate of compliance from MOE isn’t expected for phases two to four until 2016, or another two years. Meanwhile, discussions between the proponents and a representative of the Clover-
dale Legion are ongoing, with a meeting with Branch 6 expected this fall. “The residential condo market is also a challenge in Cloverdale,” he said. Phase one was put on hold at the start of 2012 due to market conditions, but other residential projects in downtown Cloverdale have been completed since then. Avis conceded those other residential projects are being marketed, but said their sales are slower than anticipated. “SCDC and its development partners have a much narrower risk tolerance than other developers may have, and as such, the continu-
ing weakness in values are a concern to us,” he said. “The lack of major public transit infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of the Cloverdale town centre plays a large part in the weakness of the local condo market,” he added. “In spite of the slow market, Townline is still committed to purchasing the Phase one site from us, which will occur once we receive a [certificate of compliance].” Avis said Townline plans to start marketing their project in early 2015. There will still be activity on the site due to ongoing environmental remediation.
Voicing frustration with ongoing project delays, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce president Brian Young unleashed a torrent of criticism late last month, calling the site a “vacant mess” and calling the City of Surrey and the SCDC “neglectful and downright insulting to our community.” Three years after the dilapidated mall was demolished, Young said he feared it may be another 10 or 20 years before the project becomes a reality. Cloverdale BIA president Rob Paterson called the lack of progress a “major road block to any further development downtown.”

TransLink’s day of free transit in apology for recent service disruptions drew heavy crowds on B.C. Day. “We experienced heavy volume on most routes,” spokesman Robert Willis said. Besides crowded buses and SkyTrains, passengers in some cases had to wait two or more sailings to board the SeaBus. That was despite the deployment of TransLink’s third SeaBus reducing frequency to every 7.5 minutes – a level of service the transportation authority says it can’t normally afford until new taxes for a major expansion are approved. Willis said TransLink anticipated the extra demand and had 46 SkyTrain cars in service, compared to 32 on a normal Sunday or holiday, and also deployed more buses as needed. “We also chose to postpone the regularly scheduled maintenance work on the SkyTrain in order to accommodate the volume last night,” he said. “We again thank our customers for their patience as we managed the large crowds.” The free day was in compensation for two major SkyTrain shutdowns that disrupted service for more than four hours and saw some passengers exit via elevated guideways. An independent review is underway into the July incidents. TransLink had previously been criticized for not offering the free day during a regular work day when many more commuters could have made use of it. There were complaints about long lines and crowded buses Monday, but there were also many appreciative thank-yous to TransLink on social media.

It comes on the heels of a year in 2013 that painted Newton as a particularly dangerous policing district. Last year, you were more likely to be killed in Newton than any other community.

A:
our basement suite. What steps do we need to take? First please make yourself familiar with the Residential Tenancy Act which is available on line at http://www.rto.gov.bc.ca . You should make sure your listing agreement states that there is a tenancy in the house. If you do not Edith Katronis have a contract with your tenant, the Tenancy Act will prevail. Your tenant must be given proper notice to vacate if a buyer purchases your home to live in. That would be two full months after all subjects are removed and notice must be given on the date the rent is due. So if subjects get removed on the 5th of the month, the tenant still gets a full 2 months notice from the rent day after that. So in effect, almost 90 days. This needs to be in clearly and properly your contract of purchase and sale . The rent amount, deposit duration of tenancy, what is included must be spelled out in the contract. If your contract states vacant possession you will be responsible for making sure you have given notice and that your tenant is out on possession day. With respect to showings, your tenant can request notice for showings but cannot refuse showings. Fact sheet at http://www.rto.gov.bc.ca/ documents/Fact%20Sheets/RTB-125.pdf

(Pharm.), C.N.P.A. homeopathic mixture called “HomeoBites” that is taken internally can help your body adapt to insect bites, i.e., when you get bitten, your body will not react so violently. This can also be used to help treat bug bites after you’ve been bitten. Mainstream insect repellants usually contain DEET, which is effective, but should be avoided in pregnancy and in children. Natural insect repellants containing Oil of Citronella can be considered; frequent reapplication is the key to success when using citronella. For young children, a simple barrier strategy (i.e., covering up) may be the only way to go.

from your tooth. The space inside the hard layers of each tooth is made up of soft pulp that contains nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria enters your tooth through Dr. Parveen Atwal deep cavities, cracks or flawed fillings, your tooth can become abscessed which is an infection in the pulp. If pulp becomes infected, then it needs to be removed. An abscessed tooth may cause pain and/or swelling. Your dentist may notice the infection from a dental x-ray or from other changes with the tooth. During treatment the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Afterwards, the tooth is ideally restored with a crown for protection. A root canal feels similar to having a filling and usually can be completed in one appointment. Unlike the perceived stereotype, there is no pain felt from the root canal procedure itself.

Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites (Acupuncture points). Much research has Jason proven that acupuncture is effective for treating low back pain. Some of the benefits are as follows: • providing pain relief and reducing inflammation (stimulation of nerves releases endorphins-natural pain killer) • improving muscle stiffness and joint mobility - by increasing local microcirculation, which aids dispersal of swelling and bruising. • improving the outcome when added to conventional treatments such as rehabilitation exercises. • reducing the use of medication for back pain. Acupuncture has no side effects compared to the use of pain medications. Come in for a holistic assessment and treatment with our Registered Acupuncturist to help you with your lower back pain.

HOME INSPECTIONS signs to Q: Any look out for to avoid buying a lemon house?
A:
Here are your 6 signs a house could be a lemon 1. Foundation cracks - When you arrive at a house, take a walk around the outside. Cracks around the foundation could be caused by settling, freezing or thawing, or soil expansion. And be alert with hillside homes where earth movement can cause a foundation to slide. 2. Sagging roof - Just before you pull your car to the driveway, take a look of the roof at a distance. Are the chimney and the roof line straight? A roof sags because it’s bearing too much weight. A sagging roof can even be traced to an underlying foundation problem. 3. Stains on wall or ceiling surface - At this task, you have to use two of your senses: your eyes and your nose. A water mark on the ceiling could mean a leak and black or green dirt on the wall could be mold or mildew. Check for signs of bubbling paint, soggy drywall and signs of repairs. 4. Sloping floor - A sloping floor could be a sign of house movement. A simple test could be done by placing a marble on the floor and see if it rolls. Another trick is to look at the windows and the doors. Do they line up? Are they hard to open? 5. Pipes sticking out of the back yard - When you walk around the house keep an eye on pipes sticking out from the ground. For many houses built prior to the 1970s, there are chances of an underground oil tank hidden on site. 6. Failed roof covering or exterior siding - When you walk around the outside of the house, look for openings in seams of exterior siding and under roof covering, also called soffits. Openings could be caused by mechanical damage or improper building practice. Look for rotten wood, cracked bricks, indented vinyl, broken stucco and damaged aluminum for clues of failed siding.

DENTURIST
Do you have
teeth be replaced?
A:
Your teeth play an important role and even one missing tooth can have a negative impact on your remaining teeth and oral health. When a tooth is missing the healthy adjacent teeth tend to tilt, rotate and shift affecting how your upper and lower teeth meet. This can cause problems when chewing and has an impact on surrounding muscles and your jaw joints. Partial dentures can be a great solution to replace teeth by: • preserving the natural placement of your existing teeth • preventing your remaining teeth from tilting and moving • preventing further damage to your remaining teeth • restoring your smile and improving speech • restoring your ability to eat confidently and efficiently!

A:
Susanne Figueira Manager According to the belt manufacturer’s belts squeal when they are slipping or moving back and forth on the pulleys they run along. The squealing condition can be caused by some common factors, such as the belt having aged over time, the belt being glazed, or a belt pulley or belt tensioner loosing it’s spring or tension on the belt. Belts should be looked for cracking or environmental damage during the course of maintenance servicing or changed every as per the manufacturers recommendation of 4 years or 30-60,000 km’s depending on make and model of vehicle.

So you’re one of those buyers who absolutely loves older homes: the character, the unique architecture, the settled neighbourhood… and maybe the great value. But even older homes with “great bones” sometimes need a little renovation to turn them into Feisal Panjwani, AMP the home of your dreams. Unfortunately, sometimes on top of the home purchase price, a few costly renovations can sink you.
things we can do early in a pet’s life to help to reduce the likelihood of our companions getting the disease? A: YES!!! There are a number of things that are within our control that we can do to minimize the growth of cancer cells. Jen Pinch Two factors increase cancer risk in our pets…Obesity and Inflammation. Both of these things can be linked to sugars in our pet’s diet. Starchy carbohydrates are converted to glucose and if high levels are fed, it will not all be used up as energy and will store as fat. Chronic inflammation can lead to cancer by killing off healthy cells and promoting growth of abnormal ones. A reduction in Omega-6 fatty acids and the addition of Omega-3s can reduce inflammation. Carbohydrates are pro-inflammatory and need to be reduced….do you see a pattern?? We can spend the time and perhaps a bit more money on our pet’s diet now and it can have a very large impact on their longevity and health down the road. A fresh, healthy diet that is balanced and full of antioxidants along with minimal supplementation is easy to achieve. Nutrition is the foundation for good health and a strong immune system…come in and ask us how to get your fur kid on the road to better health.

Parenting in the age of smartphones By Monique Tamminga he next time you go to a restaurant or playground, glance around to see how many parents are looking at their phones rather than at their child. We’ve all done it. Texting while nursing, talking on the phone while pushing the baby stroller, checking Facebook while a child plays on the playground. But is the glow of smartphones dimming our relationship with our children? “We are so hooked on our phones,” said Cora Boecker, a member of Langley’s Early Child Development Committee, a team of child development experts trying to bring awareness and provide advice to parents raising kids in a fast-paced, digital society. She is also a supervisor for the infant development program at the Langley Child Development Centre. “Something has changed in our brains, in that we can’t resist immediately looking at our phone when it pings with a message.” But parents may be spending too much time looking at their phones instead of looking at their children. “The human connection is so important in the development of a child but our addiction to our phones has changed how we interact, or more importantly how we don’t interact with our children,” she said. By ignoring our children in preference for our phones are we sending a message to our children that the phone is more important, more interesting than they are? If so, how is this impacting their development? Boecker points to child psychologists who suggest that the nervous system and brain develops more effectively when a child experiences emotional, face-to-face connections. While our addiction to smartphones is too new a trend to provide any tangible research

As parents grow more connected, the effect seems to be a growing disconnect with their children, says a local child development expert.
findings, awareness of the potential harm it can cause is key, said Boecker. The committee is hoping to show parents what they are missing with their kids when they are busy paying attention to their phone. “This isn’t meant to make parents feel bad or to lecture them but there is an important message here that interacting and engaging with your babies, your toddlers and your children helps their brain development. Humans’ need for attachment supersedes even that of hunger,” Boecker said. “We need to find a balance. There will al-
ways be a place for technology and our smartphones have so many benefits, but it is hard to respond to the smile of a child if you are looking at your phone instead of their face.” Face-to face-connections is the primary way in which babies learn language. It is also how they learn about their emotions and how to regulate them, by watching their parents’ facial expressions, emotional interactions and even watching and listening to conversations. “Babies love to study their mom’s face and expressions and if the baby is lying in his carseat on the floor, with only your ankles to look at while you eat at a restaurant or you are on your phone looking down at the screen, away from your baby, they miss out on all that.” Parents are missing those ‘mini moments’ with their toddler or child because their heads are down and eyes cast on their tablet or screen. “A child could be saying to their parent ‘look at that butterfly, mom.’ But mom is engrossed in texting and ignores the repeated requests.” In fact, often parents are feeling interrupted by the child and respond in anger and frustration. “That mini moment of experiencing that butterfly fluttering in front of your child was missed. “It’s just a moment but it adds up. In the end, it is affecting the relationship between the child and parent.” Pediatricians and child psychologists are saying distracted parenting is leading kids to act out in negative ways to get their parents’ attention. “As parents connect to technology, and as they allow their children to connect to technology, at an alarming rate and intensity, they disconnect from each other,” said Dr. Vanessa
SURREY NIGHT MARKET A Family Event
Lapointe, child psychologist and owner of The Wishing Star Lapointe Development Clinic. “The essential tangible connectedness of the parent-child relationship is disrupted by the interference of technology. The result is a child who is less settled and less able to regulate, and thus is more susceptible to behavioural challenges like anxiety, mood disruption and other mental health issues down the road.” Lapointe believes parents who are less ‘present’ and available could see their children seeking connections with technology rather than with people. Boecker said the LCDC has seen a shift of the kind of referrals it gets over the past decade or so. “A dozen years ago, most of our referrals were children with physical and cognitive health issues. “Now were are seeing way more children who have difficulty self-regulating, have behaviour issues, anxiety and aggression.” While there is no evidence of a direct correlation to our time with technology impacting their behaviour, there is a spike in children with emotional and behaviour issues. But this discussion isn’t all doom and gloom, stresses Boecker and the Langley Early Child Development Committee. “This is just about being more aware of our smartphone use around our children,” Boecker suggests. When going to the playground with your child or restaurant, make a point of putting your phone away or flip it to airplane mode to remove your temptation. Be present with your child as much as you can, having face-to-face time. Make meal time a phone-free zone. “Eye to Eye not eye to iPhone.”

Sockeye openings start despite survival concerns Recreational, commercial fishermen gear up for big Fraser salmon run By Jeff Nagel Commercial fishermen and sports anglers are now getting their first crack at what’s hoped to be a record return of Fraser River sockeye salmon. A 38-hour opening for commercial gillnetters took place over the B.C. Day long weekend in Johnstone Strait near Campbell River, likely the first of several openings this summer. Recreational fishing for sockeye in marine areas last Friday and on tidal sections of the lower Fraser Sunday, with nontidal areas further upstream expected to open the middle of this week. Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Les Jantz said most sockeye stocks appear to be coming in close to or slightly below expectations. There’s no in-season estimate
of the run size yet, but the midrange forecast was for 23 million sockeye, with potential for that to be as low as 7.2 million and as high as 72 million due to an unusual level of uncertainty. Fishery managers are carefully watching to ensure enough sockeye get back upstream to spawn in light of challenging river conditions. Water levels are 11 per cent below normal, which Jantz said also means the river can heat up fast to dangerously warm temperatures in a bout of hot weather. The river temperature was 18.4 degrees on July 31 – 0.7 degrees higher than average for this date – and expected to warm to 20.7 degrees in the next few days. Sustained exposure to water at that temperature can stress migrating sockeye, killing many
Let the children come! “People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.� Mark 10:13-16 How do you perceive children? For some, children are expensive burdens, for others, idealized innocents. Some see children as loud, messy nuisances, others as a vital part of a loving family. When Jesus was on earth, people brought their children to him. Jesus’ disciples thought that someone as important as Jesus wouldn’t have time for children. Jesus saw these little ones quite differently than his

disciples did. Jesus saw them as precious, and significant. He picked them up and held them and blessed them. In 1 Corinthians 1:27, God tells us that he chose the weak and lowly things of the world - things like little children - to shame the wise and the strong. So often we think that we have to be smart enough and strong enough to be worthy of love. But Jesus shows us the way to eternal love; become like little children, small and trusting, and we can crawl into the arms of Jesus to receive his blessings. Join us, you and your children, on Sunday to find comfort in the arms of Jesus. We invite your children to come to Vacation Bible School, August 11-15. There will be music, stories, games, crafts, and more. For more information contact Leanne at 604-532-5839. By Jan Bredenhof
before they spawn. DFO will this year let up to 65 per cent of the run be caught or die of other causes on their migration, an increase from 60 per cent in past years to allow more fishing opportunity. That decision has been criticized by conservation groups that say DFO has authorized overfishing that will result in a high bycatch of threatened stocks, such as Cultus Lake sockeye and Interior coho, which migrate alongside the more abundant sockeye. Jantz said DFO is prepared to make further adjustments to the fishing plan as more run size information comes in to ensure weak stocks aren’t severely damaged by the sockeye fishery. Fishing by First Nations for food, social and ceremonial purposes has been underway since

Pharmacy rewards ban lifted By Jeff Nagel A ban on issuing loyalty reward points and other incentives on prescription drug purchases has been struck down in B.C. Supreme Court. It’s a victory for major grocery store chains that filed the court challenge as well as point-collecting shoppers and a defeat for the College of Pharmacists of B.C., which imposed the ban. The college had argued loyalty points are a powerful lure that can alter some shoppers’ buying habits and potentially harm their health. It suggested some patients may go without their medicine until they can fill a prescription on a day when a loyalty point bonus is offered. College officials also argued insured patients who don’t pay out of pocket might keep refilling a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be
abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade. But Justice Christopher Hinkson ruling found the college’s bylaws blocking all incentives were “unreasonable� and too broad. “Their net effect is harmful to the public interest in obtaining pharmacy services and prescriptions at the lowest price,� his ruling says. Hinkson said the claims of pharmacy college board directors defied common sense. “The concern that customers will overspend on their drug and device needs in order to collect the rewards offered is illogical,� he found. “The cost of the drugs or devices to customers will invariably exceed the value of the rewards offered.� The judge noted the ruling doesn’t stop the college from drafting a new bylaw to more reasonably address its concerns. The College of Pharmacists of B.C. said it has made no decisions on what steps it might take next. The court challenge was filed by companies that operate Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods. The ban also lost in the court of public opinion – the college received 14,000 emails mostly opposing the ban.

Ogbeiwi sprints to silver at Hershey’s By Jennifer Lang Surrey’s Samantha Ogbeiwi sprinted to silver in the 200-m dash at the Hershey’s North American track and field finals over the weekend, making her mom proud – and Canada, too. The 12-year-old Katzie Elementary student Samantha
Ogbeiwi ‘had a gorgeous run’ in Hershey, Pennsylvania, according to one of the announcers covering the event in a video of the race online. Ogbeiwi, who trains with Ocean Athletics Club in South Surrey, was positioned in the outside lane, running against girls from across the
U.S., and another Canadian, Lea Savard of Troi Rivieres, Quebec. Her time of 27.85 in the 200-metre sprint for 11- and 12-year-old girls was just one-tenth of a section behind the girl who took first place, Reagan Gallagher of Pasadena, Texas, at 27.72.
The games are the largest of their kind. “Canada continues to show really, really well, here,� the announcer continued. “Samantha Ogbeiwi from Surrey British Columbia had a gorgeous run.� Her mom, Dayo, was feeling very blessed and excited,
and that Samantha was very happy with second place. “She wanted to win this one,� Dayo said. “She fought so hard on a very tough lane 8 and ran the race with all she got. She was flawless.� Ogbeiwi is entering Grade 7 at Katzie Elementary this fall.

Champion Spurs defend title Both Bantam AAAs and Peewee AAAs face Abbotsford in the finals They are the provincial baseball champions for the second summer in a row. The Cloverdale Bantam AAA Spurs defended their title at the B.C. 15U baseball championship at Rutland over the weekend. The 15U team suffered a couple of losses during round robin play, but qualified in the semi finals. The team beat Vancouver 10-2, putting them into the finals against Abbotsford. The two teams were closely matched until Cloverdale pulled ahead for the gold medal, with a 5-2 win. Cloverdale represents B.C. in the national baseball championships in Vaughn, ON, Aug. 21-25. – Cloverdale Reporter

Nettey leaps to bronze
Just seven centimetres away from the gold medal, Christabel Nettey settled for bronze in the women’s long jump at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Competing July 31, Nettey took an early lead in the competition with a 6.49m jump on her second of six attempts. Ese Brumme of Nigeria took the lead with a 6.56m leap on her third attempt, and went on to win gold. Nettey, a graduate of Johnston Heights Seconadry, dropped to third when England’s Jazmin Sawyers jumped 6.54m on her sixth and final try. - Weightlifter Parm Phangura placed sixth in the 105-plus kg. class Thursday with a 341 kg. total. The Surrey resident lifted 150 kg. in the snatch and 191 in the clean and jerk, both on second attempts. For this third attempts, he attempted 156 kg. in the snatch and 201 kg. in the clean and jerk, but was unsuccessful in both. - Sukhpal Panesar of Surrey is on the Canadian men’s field hockey team which will play South Africa for fifth place Saturday. Canada won one of four preliminary round games to place third among five teams in Group B. A member of the United Brothers field hockey club, Panesar scored in Canada’s first game, a 3-1 loss to New Zealand. Canada also lost 2-0 to Malaysia, defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3-1, then lost to England 3-1.
Abbotsford – like their Bantam AAA colleagues. Cloverdale got an early lead, but the Abbotsford team overtook them for a 12-8 win. Cloverdale will represent B.C. at the Western Canada Baseball Championships in Altona, Man, Aug. 14 to 18. The team is mostly 13-yearolds, with just three players who are 12, said Jeff Young, of the Cloverdale Minor Baseball Association. They also boasted the only girl in the tournament, Hayley Grice. Young said the Cloverdale Minor Baseball Association is deeply grateful to the local sponsors who have helped make hosting the championships a reality. “Without their support, it wouldn’t be a success.�
Cloverdale fought hard, coming back from two losses in round-

robing play to earn a spot in the finals against Abbotsford Sunday. That grit and determination helped the Spurs U13 take second place – on home turf – at the 2014 Peewee AAA provincial championships in Cloverdale. The Cloverdale Minor Baseball Association played host to B.C.’s best 13 and under teams July 31 to Aug. 3 at Cloverdale Baseball Park. Ten teams – from Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Burnaby, White Rock, Coquitlam, Vancouver and Victoria – took part. The Spurs finished the round robin 2-2, qualifying for the semi finals, where the team faced the undefeated team from Burnaby. It was a closely-fought battle, but Cloverdale defeated Burnaby 3-1, putting the Spurs into the championship finals against
