Surrey civic candidates spar in Cloverdale
Mayor hopefuls Linda Hepner and Doug McCallum.
By Jennifer Lang It took awhile for the subject of Cloverdale to come up at last week’s Surrey civic election forum at Shannon Hall, but once it did, the historic town centre remained a hot topic. Organized by the Cloverdale Community Association, the Cloverdale BIA, and the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, the Oct. 22 all candidate’s meeting drew a nearly full house to the hall, located on the city-owned fairgrounds, another subject that dominated the event.
Six of seven mayor candidates (independent Vikram Bajwa was absent) turned out for the meeting – the first of its kind organized by the three groups. A majority of council candidates also turned out for the event, attracting 26 of the 35 candidates who have put their names forward on the ballot on Nov. 15. Mayoral candidates were allowed a threeminute opening statement; council hopefuls had two minutes to state their case.

Yesterday I spent some time out in my vegetable garden, “putting the garden to bed� for the winter. It’s not the most exciting part of the gardening year. Only a few weeks ago, I was out almost every day harvesting and eating and sharing my produce with family and friends. It’s easy to be happy and thankful when there’s food on your table and family to share it with. During the heat of the summer, I was in my garden daily, watering and weeding, marvelling at just how fast a plant can grow, enjoying the sunshine. It’s easy to be happy and thankful in the long, hot days of summer. And before that, it was spring; the earth was warming up and we could plant seeds and watch new growth everywhere. It’s easy to be happy and thankful when new life is all around us. But now it’s time to put the garden to bed, winter is just around the corner, a sunny day will be a rare thing in the coming months, and the days
will often be dark and dreary from here on in. It’s not quite as easy to be happy and thankful during dark times, is it? But even though the seasons change, God remains the same. He is the God of all seasons, even the dark ones. In Psalm 139 we read this about God: ‌ even the darkness will not be dark to you, the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. And knowing that, even in the winter of our year, or the winter of our life, we can rest secure, knowing that everything is in God’s hands and God’s plans. Have a good winter.

Some of what they give me when they don’t give me a break.
Life is changing To the editor; Life is changing and I struggle to adjust to what I’m feeling. Too much time to think about the low cards life is dealing. I’m not ancient but I’m aging and I think of what will be, Not a good approach to living to reflect on what I see. The world’s economy is tanking and the globe is in recession. Federal bailouts of big business trying to keep us from Depression. Haven’t worried for a long time what might occur tomorrow. Since my children became adults, haven’t felt the need to borrow. I’m not working. I’m not earning and the prices spiral higher. Didn’t care once what the cost was, but now I’m a careful buyer. Have a feeling that our savings may not be enough to make it And the feeling’s getting stronger with no way for me to shake it. Take no thought about tomorrow nor the clothes that you shall wear Is the counsel I’ve given others when I had so much to share. Don’t be anxious but in all things with thanksgiving tell the Lord. Believing that your next need will be one He can afford. I have no reason yet to panic though investments took a hit They say recovery’s round the corner and will claw back bit by bit. Haven’t got so long to wait until the market turns around Want to travel while our bodies are still reasonably sound. Coffee mug in hand we ponder what our next move ought to be Should I find work or end my life as a retiree? It’s a toss up when you consider that the government will take

‘Tough’ slogan distasteful to mothers With the Surrey election looming quickly around the corner, I’ve been noticing mayoral signs popping up everywhere and I find one of them particularly distasteful. Mrs. Rasode has a slogan on one of her signs that reads “One Tough Mother,” and her arms are folded, only accentuating the arrogance of that comment. Personally, as a real mother, I find this offensive. Who is she reaching out to for votes? ‘Gangstas’, perhaps? So many things come to mind in seeing those words. That slogan is derivative of what? One Tough Mudder? Or One Tough Mother Effer? One tough anything is too tough for me. Words are powerful tools. Choose the right ones and show some respect for the real mothers of Surrey. The last thing Surrey needs is a mayor with the gangsta mentality. I’m tired of the same old games and rhetoric. Surrey needs solid, sound, practical and proven leadership. We need Doug McCallum back! To coin a phrase, may the best man win. Sharon Stanley Cloverdale

to demand better
It’s the kids who are getting the short shrift.
For example, when I taught at Clayton Heights Secondary many years ago I remember a P.R. presentation being assembled in the “Hub” of the school by an official from city hall who was unveiling a “bold new vision” for the property adjacent and just north of the school. As a rugby coach, I was naturally curious if my young Nightriders might finally get a field with more grass than sand and, dare to dream, one softer to land on than the school’s parking lot? Nope. An outdoor basketball court? No chance. An ice rink? A pool? A greasy-looking
which is suitable for rugby, football and soccer. Meanwhile the Women’s World Cup of Soccer is coming and a lawsuit has been filed by the athletes who legitimately deserve a grass field instead of turf injuries. Even worse, South Surrey will now have a second indoor pool soon, conveniently located for people who often tell all their friends they’re from White Rock, except when demanding… and getting… well over $50 million from the City of Surrey. I have nothing against South Surrey of course, but attention all candidates, could Cloverdale please
have one indoor pool before you build any more down there? So, who sounded at the debate like they might actually do something about over four decades of neglect of Cloverdale? Well, a few council candidates did stand out, but none more than One Surrey

skate park even? That would be no, nay, never… no nay never no more. Instead, Clayton Heights students were granted the “bold new vision” of a pathetic dog park. So while Semiahmoo students have two grass rugby fields, multiple turf fields, a running track, a skate park, a fitness centre, the best ice rink in Surrey, the entire Softball City complex… and of course, an indoor pool, Clayton Heights students can watch every Rover and Fido in the neighbourhood come and take a crap on that bold new vision. And the situation is no better at Lord Tweedsmuir. Just this spring, our school district was forced to repair the only playing field for our more than 2,000 students at a cost to local taxpayers of over $20,000 because of the wear it gets primarily from football but also from rugby and from having thousands of PE students on it because we have no other option. Meanwhile the Stetson Bowl is still only used for one weekend a year, and it’s used by animals instead of kids. Unbelievably, Surrey will soon be the largest city in B.C. and we don’t have a single grass stadium

To the editor; Sadly, it seemed fitting that the all candidates debate held in Cloverdale Oct. 28 was in the aging Shannon Hall on the long-neglected Cloverdale Fairgrounds. As a long-time resident, local teacher and undecided voter I attended to hear if any of the mayor and council candidates could offer a vision for Surrey in general and something more than token platitudes for Cloverdale in particular. As a student at Surrey Centre Elementary just over 35 years ago, I fondly remember field trips to the only sheet of ice and only (outdoor) pool in our community at that time. As a teacher at Lord Tweedsmuir, I’m outraged that the same single sheet of ice and tiny outdoor Greenaway Pool remain the only places for our kids to swim or skate in Cloverdale all these decades later. Now that our local advocate and unofficial “Mayor of Cloverdale,” Bill Reid, has passed on, it’s time for all of us as Cloverdale residents to demand better. Disturbingly, it’s the kids in Cloverdale who are getting short shrift in terms of recreational facilities.

Fraser Downs horse racing Breeders Classic The stakes are high, the horses are ready and the riders are preparing as B.C.’s most prestigious harness racing event approaches. On November 11, Cloverdale will host the Breeders Classic Day at Fraser Downs Racetrack – B.C.’s live harness racing action at its best. The finest B.C.-bred horses and top drivers will take to the track and race to compete for over $300,000 in purses. After four grueling legs already behind them, the most able horses are being geared up for the big day – and what is surely to be a payday for many of the drivers. The day is packed with an abundance
of great dining options, and an enclosed, heated grandstand to keep enthusiasts comfortable yet close to the action when the races begin at 12:45 p.m. Drivers will be present for photos and to sign autographs one hour before start time. Families are invited to attend, but are asked to remember that only those 19 or older are permitted to place bets, and to always play for fun, not to make money. The day caters to both seasoned horseplayers and racing beginners. Fraser Downs provides on-hand Wagering Ambassadors who can offer expertise on how to read the program and tote board, how
to understand what the odds mean, how to place bets, as well as answer any other pertinent questions. Then, it’s a matter of choosing from the self-serve or personal wagering windows, and getting ready for the heart-pounding experience of a live sporting event. From the thrill of the race, the highstake wagers, the pounding of hooves on the track, and the quick pace of a drive race down to the wire, all combined with the enjoyment of meeting a favored horse or rider, the Breeders Classic at Fraser Downs is an event not to miss, and one that will create many moments never to be forgotten.
Still waiting for a second sheet of ice From page 5
candidate and Bill Reid apprentice, Brian Young. More than anyone running for either council or the mayor’s chair, Brian Young was clearly passionate about this community. In fact, I wish he was running for Mayor, because the One Surrey mayoralty candidate, Barinder Rasode, virtually only talked about crime and offered “community officers” as a magic solution, a plan no criminal would fear. Also from the One Surrey team, Mike Bose clearly showed he is not just resting on his pioneer family name, but as a hockey coach in Cloverdale, genuinely seemed outraged that the Cloverdale Arena was originally designed in 1971 for two sheets of ice and 43 years later, he like everyone, is fed up with waiting. On the Surrey First team, Councillor Bruce Hayne was clearly both knowledgeable and committed to all Cloverdale issues, including more public facilities. Again, he would probably have made a better choice for mayor than the Surrey First candidate, Linda Hepner, who was lampooned not just for the crime issue, but for her proposal to put a giant ferris wheel in Bridgeview. However, compared to Barinder Rasode, Linda Hepner at least seemed to understand that the Fairgrounds are an important legacy to all the residents of Cloverdale and that no part of this facility should be sold to private developers just to build a trade centre. Ms. Hepner clearly would be a better choice for Cloverdale on this issue alone. Fellow Surrey First candidates Barb Steele, Judy Villeneuve and Tom Gill all were clearly deeply experienced councillors, even if they were at times short on specifics. On the crime issue, both Surrey First candidate, former RCMP officer, Dave Woods, and One Surrey candidate, Kal Dosanjh, are experienced cops from Surrey and Vancouver respectively. Both might make decent councillors, but Cloverdale resident and former Surrey Now editor Beau Simpson from the Safe Surrey Coalition seemed by far the most consistent voice all night for greater openness and transparency at City Hall. Once again, Simpson seemed far more credible than fellow Safe Surrey Coalition mayoralty candidate Doug McCallum, who is experienced but like Ms. Hepner and Ms. Rasode, had little to offer Cloverdale or any explanation for why all three would-be mayors have neglected its needs. As just one voter, I will support a balanced council: Brian Young, Bruce Hayne, Beau Simpson, Mike Bose, Barb Steele, Dave Woods and Kal Dosanjh impressed me. I will also support long-time community activist Jim McMurty for council, who was absent but I know to be a strong voice for Cloverdale and a decent man above all else. For mayor, I was most impressed with independent candidate Grant Rice, whose urban planning background, understanding of the need to plan school and community facilities together as well as the need for more open government, definitely won my vote. My own choices are not important. What is, however, is that Cloverdale residents should all check out their local candidates online, in the community papers or at a debate, or we have no right to expect anything more than the one sheet of ice and one outdoor pool we have now in another 35 years.

Dodging the censors From page one
A street in Amsterdam shows a horse harnessed to an automobile – there was no gasoline to fill the tank. Letters home were also censored. They wrote on cards that were a few inches wide, smaller than postcards. The messages were photographed, the film flown to Canada, and the messages developed before they were sent to their destinations. Hemming sent dozens home – one a week. A commercial sign painter at Eton’s in Moose Jaw before the war, Heming drew detailed illustrations showing his folks back home what he was up to. “I had to watch what I was sketching,” he said. He kept a diary, too, but nearly lost it forever when he was ordered to throw it out. He ripped the pages in half and tossed them in the bin, carefully retrieving the precious fragments when the superior’s back was

turned. He was able to smuggle the pages back home, and reassemble his war diary using Scotch tape. A sample: “Jul 44. After travelling all night, passing the straits of Dover with no enemy action, we anchored off the
French coast at approx 2000 hours the following evening, after passing a very quiet day. There was nothing exceptional to report except that on [illegible] 231 28 bottles of liquor vanished from the offrs mess lorry.” When the war ended, he waited months for
a transport ship home. He didn’t get home until February, 1945. “They sent hockey equipment over to us. Can you imagine?” A game in Amsterdam stands out. He was skating off the rink as new teams were taking the ice, when he recognized a familiar face. “It was my brother, right there on the ice,” he says. The reunion briefly held things up. “We hadn’t seen each other in over a year and a half.” He married his wife, Fay, in 1948 and they have three grown children. The Hemings moved to Cloverdale after living in North Surrey for 25 years, and in North Vancouver for 35 years. “Remembrance Day,” he says, “is for those who have served and who have given their life.” On Nov. 11, he will be thinking of his brother, who lost his life in service so long ago. “These are the people we should remember.”
‘Disaster’ in Clayton Heights From page one
is one of the top priorities in the Build Surrey capital projects plan, and Grant Rice, who’s running as an independent, said support is needed for Surrey’s environmental heritage as well. “There’s just too much clear cutting going on in this city,” Rice said. Both One Surrey’s Barinder Rasode and Safe Surrey Coalition’s Doug McCallum pledged their full support, with McCallum saying he’s proud of the work done by the Friends of the Surrey Museum and Archives Society. Council candidates were asked how they’d address issues of rapid growth and development in the Clayton Heights area. “We have to start enforcing our bylaws,” Maz Artang of One Surrey said. “The density issue has been with us for a number of years.” Team Surrey’s Stephen Gammer, a Cloverdale resident, threw down the gauntlet, invoking Mayor Dianne Watts’ description of the area as an “unmitigated disaster.” “It’s the plan,” he said. “We need to start with a plan. At Surrey, there are only two social planners, whereas in Vancouver there are 20 social planners” he said. “That disaster belonged to the previous mayor, and it was left to the surrey First team to deal with,” SF candidate Vera LeFranc said, adding she toured the area a few weeks ago, adding the city’s R10 designation allows six cars to park on a lot.
Hepner rebutted, admitting, “I agreed with Mayor Watts’ comments that it was a miserable failure,” she said, before describing steps the city has since taken to deal with problems there. “We eliminated coach houses. Secondly, we eliminated that zone that it was created under,” she said, pointing to the new RF10 zoning in place, expanded roadways and other measures. She agreed that coach houses and illegal suites were a problem. “It would be simple if we could send a bylaw officer over there and say, ‘Everybody out.’ However, we have young families in there,” she said, adding mortgages in some cases were negotiated with secondary suites in mind. “We must come up with a viable transition plan.” Candidates were also asked about the future of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. Rasode said One Surrey has pledged to create an economic and sporting hub in Cloverdale by redeveloping the Cloverdale fairgrounds. The plan calls for a trade centre built in partnership, a sport facility and new transit connections. Although both would be built in partnership with private companies, part of the funds to pay for the redevelopment would come from the sale of city-owned lands on the fairgrounds. “That’s our commitment,” she said. “Now is Cloverdale’s time.” McCallum said Surrey First’s
plan supports a trade centre with a major hotel to host large conventions. “I think the fairgrounds are long overdue,” McCallum said. “I think you have been forgotten in the last little while. It’s time to change that.” Wolanski wants to see a new ice rink and indoor pool included in any future development on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. Hepner said the city has tried to court private developers to partner with on the site, but the last proposal would have cost Surrey $40 million over 10 years to make a reality. She doesn’t support selling parcels off to help pay for a new plan, and pointed to a city task force that is studying the issue. “We need to do a long term plan,” she said. “I think we need a convention centre not just a trade centre,” independent mayor candidate John Edwards said. One Surrey candidate Mike Bose, a minor hockey coach and Cloverdale farmer, said the original Cloverdale ice arena plan called for two sheets of ice. “We’ve been left behind since 1971,” he said. Incumbent SF councillor Barbara Steele said, “It’s certainly not a forgotten item at the council table,” while Coun. Bruce Hayne pointed to One Surrey’s plan and said, “We can’t mortgage our future like that.”

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.

Q: What are some indications

If you are thinking of buying a home, one of the first considerations is how much you need to save for a down payment. Once you know the price for your potential home, then factor in a percentage as a down payment.
or falling out when talking or A: • Loose laughing
A down payment is a partial payment on the home Feisal Panjwani, AMP made at the time of purchase. In Canada, the minimum down payment is 5%; if you are putting down less than 20% you will need mortgage default insurance. It’s insurance, which guarantees the mortgage by protecting the lender should you be unable to continue your mortgage payments for some unforeseen reason. Consider these easy tips to help you with the saving process: • Set up a special account for your down payment • Make regular deposits into the account through automatic transfers • Cut out extra expenses • Use your RRSP’s; the Canadian government’s Home Buyer Plan allows you to withdraw up to $25,000 from your RRSP without penalty. Once you’ve implemented a few of these suggestions, you’ll find it won’t take long until you are ready to begin searching for your dream home.

There are 2 types of whitening options available: surface whiteners Dr. Parveen Atwal and bleaches. Surface whiteners are abrasives in toothpastes that remove superficial stains only. Bleaching products are peroxide-based and are actually capable of altering the colors of the tooth itself. This is especially important for patients with fillings, root canal treatments, crowns and/or those who have extremely dark stains on their front teeth. There are 2 types of bleaching options: laser which involves the in-office use of heat/light to activate the bleaching product, or custom made trays filled with bleach and worn for a certain amount of time. Not all tooth discolorations respond to tooth-bleaching treatments therefor a consult with a dentist is always recommended first.

Upon completion, the lawyers request that the funds needed to complete the sale are forwarded to them from the real estate office.

seed oil is a fantastic source of A: FLAX EFAs and using it can ensure basic cellular health in your pets. If your animal has dry, flaky skin that seems itchy, there can Jen Pinch be a variety of reasons but supplementing with flax oil is definitely something to consider. Flax is also anti-inflammatory and can improve joint mobility. Important body functions in your pet can be regulated with the use of flax seed oil, including blood pressure, kidney function and artery function which contributes to cardiovascular health. One of the most exciting benefits of flax seed oil is that it contains lignin. This is a compound that has been found to have powerful cancer-fighting properties as well as being anti-fungal and anti-viral. If you have a dog that is itchy, arthritic or has low immunity, this is a supplement you should not be without. In addition to addressing those common problems, the preventative properties of warding off cancer and creating cellular health that flax oil boasts make it a necessary addition to your pet’s diet.

Fraser Health scales back its mobile flu shot clinics By Jeff Nagel Fraser Health is conducting fewer mobile flu vaccination clinics in the community than it did a few years ago. Spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the gradual decrease over the past three years has been in response to less demand for the Fraser-run clinics at places like libraries and community centres. Virtually all pharmacies and many doctor’s offices now offer flu shots, she said, and there’s been a steady increase each year in people, particularly seniors, getting their vaccinations at those locations, often when they pick up prescriptions. Juma said some Fraser Health-run mobile clinics are still offered but they are increasingly geared to people who are less likely to use the other options. Some are set up at homeless shelters to serve the homeless. For locations and information on getting a flu shot, see http://www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot. Juma said Fraser Health is trying to encourage more pregnant women to get the flu shot this year, adding concerns about the vaccine’s safety are misplaced. Getting a flu shot, especially in late pregnancy, provides protection for babies during the flu season when they are most at risk of serious disease, because they can’t get a shot until six months of age, she noted. “It reduces my baby’s risk of getting the flu,� said
604-575-5288
The Experienced, Independent Team of School Trustees for Surrey:
Dr. Nao Nakatsuka, an obstetrician/gynaecologist at Royal Columbian Hospital, who is pregnant and featured in a new Fraser Health video. “The flu vaccine is very safe in pregnancy and this has been proven in multiple studies in the past.� Nakatsuka said pregnant women who get the flu can suffer more severe symptoms than the general population, adding some moms-to-be were hospitalized for long periods of their pregnancies last year at Royal Columbian. Household members of pregnant women and newborns should also be vaccinated to help protect mom and baby. They’re also eligible for free vaccine.

Health officer departs Fraser Health’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder has left Canada to return to his native Australia. Van Buynder had been prominent in several health-related issues, particularly Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal for a coal transfer terminal in Surrey that would see more coal trains move through White Rock and South Surrey, and send barges down the Fraser River. As chief medical health officer, he repeatedly urged Port Metro Vancouver to conduct a full health impact assessment into the risks from coal dust and other impacts and he criticized the research that was carried out ahead of the port’s decision to approve the project. Dr. Victoria Lee is serving as interim chief medical health officer while the health region searches for a replacement. Van Buynder came to B.C. from New Brunswick, where he held a senior public health post. He’s now living in Gold Coast, southeastern Australia. – Black Press

Remembrance takes many forms. In the summer of 2012, Mike Stuyt wrote a poem, reprinted below. He now has it on a T-shirt, pictured at right.
Why we remember They leave family at home These women and men Traveling to all four corners of this blue planet Weapons of steel and wood Cloth to bandage wounds Some to conquer, others to bring peace Uniforms to rags they suffer They do what they have been told They suffer for doing it And too many died doing it We honour them with a tear We cry for our loss Flowers to say we still remember We buy poppies to support the survivors The survivors among us we salute We listen to the past and what they have to say They walk with us Once a year we gather to remember these fallen souls Let us honour the living We pray that the number of fallen and wounded soldiers get fewer and fewer
