Kitchen goes public Forum planned for new community kitchen
Surrey mourns slain soldiers JENNIFER LANG PHOTO
‘Thank you, Cpl. Cirillo,’ begins a note left alongside bouquets and votives at the Cloverdale Cenotaph in Surrey Museum Plaza, where the flags were flying at half-staff last week in recognition of the shootings in Ottawa and the attack in Quebec that claimed the lives of two soliders. ‘On guard forever, we will never forget,’ it continued. ‘May you rest in peace and your family know you are remembered.’ Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, was a reservist from Hamilton, ON, who served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was killed while on guard at the National War Memorial. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who died after a hitand-run, was 53. Flags were lowered at Surrey City Hall and at civic facilities after the tragic events, Mayor Dianne Watts said.
By Jennier Lang Cloverdale residents are invited to help shape the future of a community kitchen that aims to serve the needs of the people and the community it was designed for. Pacific Community Church is hosting a public forum early next month to help determine the next steps for the kitchen, a commercial-grade facility completed last December, thanks to fundraising efforts that brought in $400,000 in support and following 13 months of planning. The church is located at 5337 180 Street in a renovated warehouse that’s now home to the kitchen, which currently serves 75 to 100 meals each week. The hope is to expand programming by addressing immediate needs as well as undertaking wider initiatives, such as employment programs. The church hired consultant Teunis Schouten, who looked at the kitchen’s existing resources
and met with community and business leaders to assess needs in Cloverdale. He’s has drawn up a set of recommendations on what steps to take next. The public forum is a chance to consider findings and initiate action, organizers said in a press release. The kitchen was designed to be a local networking hub of community partnerships, social enterprise and community resources. Anyone who is interested in the kitchen and hearing more about its future direction is invited to attend the forum, slated for 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14 at the church. Last February in Cloverdale, teams took part in the Coldest Night of the Year walk on behalf of the new community kitchen. The event was the facility’s official launch, as well as a successful fundraiser that pulled in $58,000 for the kitchen, nearly double the original target.
Grow-op found after Cloverdale shooting An early-morning shooting in Cloverdale Tuesday is believed to have injured two men. Surrey RCMP say officers were dispatched to the 17900-block of 40 Avenue at about 5 a.m., in response to a report of shots fired. At the scene, they discovered evidence of a marijuana grow-op and a possible shooting, but no victims. About 20 minutes later, police learned that two people suffering from gunshot wounds were found in a parking lot across from Sur-
rey Memorial Hospital. The pair – two men in the 30s, both known to police – were taken to hospital in serious condition. “These two incidents are still in the early stages of investigation, however, early indications are that they are related,” Sgt. Dale Carr states in a news release. Anyone with information on either incident who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-

Scholarship to honour student’s memory Teens killed on Thanksgiving laid to rest By Sheila Reynolds A high school scholarship has been set up in the name of a Surrey student killed in a car crash in Delta on Thanksgiving Day. Chantal MacLean and her boyfriend Cody Kehler – both 17-year-old Clayton Heights Secondary students – died in a multi-vehicle accident on Highway 10 near Scott Road on the afternoon of Oct. 13. They were on their way to a family dinner. MacLean’s family has established a scholarship to honour Chantal, a talented athlete who not only played on her winning school rugby teams, but also represented B.C. Her sister Shakeira said the fund is intended to help carry on Chantal’s legacy as a passionate, dedicated and inspiring athlete. “It will be awarded to a female student that exemplifies the leadership qualities that Chantal had as well as her compassion for her teammates and tenacity towards her sports,” said Shakeira. Contributions to the Chantal

The people’s Parliament I
lived and worked in Terrace for 11 years, and one of the perks of being a newspaper reporter in a remote corner of B.C. is the cool places the job takes you. There was the day I hopped on a Cessna six-seater, joining the NDP hopeful on the hustings in the federal riding of Skeena – one of the nation’s largest in size if not population – touching down in Atlin, Iskut, Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek, where wild horses scattered from the gravel runway and the closest ATM was a 10-hour drive. “If we drove, the election would be over,” the candidate reasoned. Then there was the flight to Masset on Haida Gwaii, the handful of helicopter rides, road trips to the Nass Valley, Prince Rupert and Kitimat, and, most thrilling of all, a ride-along in an aerobatic plane the size of my ‘87 Nissan Pulsar. In early December 2001, courtesy of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), I was invited to Ottawa for security briefings for community newspaper journalists. It was barely two months after the attacks on the Pentagon and New York City. But there were already big changes in airline travel
and for anyone entering federal buildings. Ditch the nail clippers but don’t forget your soon-to-be security-enhanced passport. The World Had Changed. Picture two-dozen journalists from places like Weyburn, Sask, Cochrane, AB, and Inverness, NS, shepherded through our nation’s capital by a French-accented handler who exuded an air of unflappable, career bureaucrat cool. Many briefings were on deep background only, meaning the stories we’d file at home would cite unnamed officials, and not the CSIS or RCMP officials we spoke with. Federal cabinet ministers like Allan Rock were less reticent. We absorbed a troubling new reality of air marshals, locked cabin doors, and sweeping federal powers, from pending border control measures to anti-terrorism legislation that would give police, our justice system and intelligence agencies broader rein. The highlight for me was the day we went to Parliament Hill, already home to strict new security measures. Bags were searched. ID scrutinized. Our tour included the rotunda, the press gallery, Senate, library, and the bustling House of
The Cloverdale
Commons during question period. We capped it off with a genuine media scrum in the hallway of this impossibly grand and imposing gothic building, school groups and tourists traipsing by. Later, my MP Andy Burton (Conservative Alliance), the likable former mayor of Stewart, sneaked me into the Opposition lobby, strictly a no-go zone for journalists. But, since I was also a constituent, a peek was definitely fair game, he winked. It’s a narrow, corridor of a room with computer pods and white boards, shared in those days with the NDP. A couple of doorways led directly to the floor of the House of Commons, steps away. Eyes wide, I took it all in, feeling more Canadian than I ever had in my life. We were a world away from the dirt roads and wide vistas of northern B.C., surrounded by cathedrallike hallways and well-appointed legislative chambers. Out in the hall, I took his picture as he sat on the stone sill of an arched window. In the soft winter light, I noticed his lapel pin, a U.S.-Canada flag symbolizing his party’s dance for tougher anti-terrorism measures, and remarked on
his tie – bought at the parliamentary gift shop. Trying to make sense of the shootings in Ottawa last week, I wonder if that same window now has a bullet hole. Marvelling along with the rest of the country at the heroics of Sgt.at-Arms Kevin Vickers, I can’t help but think it would be a shame if Parliament became a fortress for the few. The Globe and Mail described Vickers as a fierce defender of public access to Parliament, citing a quote saying he approaches his job considering the relationship that must be maintained between Canadians and the Parliament buildings, turning down a political press conference in favour of a school trip from Moosejaw, for example. An observer noted, “It’s fundamental to democracy that citizens have access to their place, their building. This is a House of Commons and it’s for the commoners,” according to the Globe’s Erin Anderssen, who added, “Something to remember… especially on a grim day such as this, when an attack on that place risks closing doors that once stood open.”

Christmas hamper helpers recognized Organizers of a food drive that helped more than 300 families in Cloverdale last Christmas are kicking off this year’s campaign by first saying thank you to the many schools, businesses and community groups that provide critical support. The Cloverdale Christmas Hamper program is a nondenominational effort comprised of churches, businesses, schools and other community organizations. Last year, applications were up 15 per cent over 2012.
More than half of the non-perishable food items are collected by schools, says Kevin Lunder, who acts as program lead with his wife, Trish. Last week, the Lunders and program school liaison Jon Pettigrew delivered appreciation plaques to long-time supporters in order to show how grateful and appreciative the program is of their exceptional hamperraising efforts, and to congratulate them for so many “devoted years of encouragement and
help to the Cloverdale community.� “We just want to recognize people,� said Kevin Lunder. “It’s a big project, and we rely on the community to come forward.� Monday, look for more than 300 donation boxes at businesses throughout Cloverdale. Visit www.pacificcommunity.ca/ministries/ cloverdale-hamper-program, or call 604-5744001 ext. 107 to donate, volunteer, or apply.

Surrey school candidates debate education By Sheila Reynolds Improving communication with parents, securing capital funding and crime’s link to education dominated the debate during an all-candidates meeting for Surrey school trustee hopefuls. About 100 residents showed up at the District Education Centre Oct. 22 to hear from those running in the upcoming civic election for a spot at the Surrey Board of Education table. Twenty of the 23 candidates attended the
meeting. Bal Sabharwal, Gary Tymoschuk and Terry Allen were absent due to previous commitments. The first question put to potential trustees was how they’d better communicate with parents. Several candidates, including Sukhy Dhillon, Sara Sharma and Patricia Enair said the board needs to be more accessible and use tools like email, websites and social media to engage busy parents. Forrest Smith, who is deaf and spoke through an
interpreter, referred to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s website as a good example of wide open governance. Rayman Bhuller disagree, however, saying not all parents, especially those with limited incomes, have the technology to be online all the time. “Real incidents and real problems – they don’t just exist in the web world,” he said, adding trustees need to be on the street, talking face to face with the public. Other candidates said
trustees simply need to listen. “Parents want to know they’re going to be heard,” said David Matta, “and they want to know the people they elect are going to listen to them.” Rina Diaz said there needs to be consultation with Parent Advisory Councils or School Planning Councils – something the current board neglects to do, she claimed. When it came to ideas for securing sufficient capital money from Victoria to build
Surrey schools, opinions varied. Bob Holmes noted Surrey is forced to spend $4 million annually on portables due to a shortage of classroom space and gets no extra compensation from the province. “The last I heard, the government told boards not to submit capital budgets because there’s just no money,” he said. Nicole Joliet said government has stripped millions from school funding over the years and then “sneakily” makes trustees make
focus on
wellness
The Stop and Go Gut (Constipation and Diarrhea in ADULTS) By Christine Cheng, R.Ph and Frederick Cheng, R.Ph.
FRED CHENG
CHRISTINE CHENG
Stop and go. Stop and go. Stop and go. Sounds like a bad day in traffic? Or more like a diary of your gut this past week? Constipation and diarrhea are not only bothersome, but also bring along potential long-term health effects, so it is important to keep things moving. There are many non-drug and natural remedies to help you down this road. Non-drug measures are the basis for maintaining healthy intestinal movement. Adequate intake of fluids is important in maintaining proper stool texture. Water is the ideal fluid as caffeine found in coffee, tea, or soda pop can irritate the intestine and lead to runnier stools or diarrhea. Similarly, if you consume a lot of juice or soda pop, the sugar content can also lead to looser stools. Try adding 2 to 4 extra glasses of water to your diet. WHAT you eat as well as HOW MUCH you eat can greatly impact your stools as well. Spicy foods can trigger loose stools by irritating your intestines. Not eating enough fibre can result in inadequate bulk of the stool and since your body partially relies on the presence of a bulky stool in the lower bowel to trigger the need to “go”, if you don’t take in enough fibre, or enough food for that matter, you may get constipated. Regular exercise can help maintain regular bowel movements by decreasing how long it takes for food to go through your gastro-intestinal system, thus reducing how much water is absorbed from the food . Think about how difficult it is to pass a dry, hard stool to understand this concept. Also, if you can participate in aerobic exercise that gets your heartrate and breathing going, you are helping to stimulate the natural contraction of the intestinal
muscles, which can help move stools out quickly. Regular bowel movements are important because the straining associated with constipation can result in painful hemorrhoids, bloating, gut distension, and discomfort. Chronic diarrhea can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, as well as the potential mal-absorption of nutrients and water. And regardless of whether you have troubles with constipation or diarrhea, gas can be a very uncomfortable. To help us keep our bowel movements regular, it is important to get a variety of dietary fibre from the plants in our diet. There are two types of fibre: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibres absorb water and prevent stools from getting to dry and hard. They also play an important role in helping with weight control, maintaining blood sugar balance as well as helping to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol. Some common sources of soluble fibre are oatmeal, lentils, apples, pears, strawberries, cucumbers, psyllium husks, and carrots. Insoluble fibre has a laxative effect and help to add bulk to the stool. They are found primarily in whole grains and vegetables such as whole wheat, bran, seeds, nuts, celery, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, dark leafy vegetables, and the skins of fruits and vegetables. If you find it hard to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, there are some supplements that may help. FIBERLICIOUS® is a soluble fibre derived from chicory root extract. It dissolves easily into your water, favourite drink or food and is safe for both diabetics and non-diabetics. Its naturally sweet flavour means you could even eat if off a spoon. NUTRACLEANSE™ is a source of both soluble
and insoluble fibre. It also contains several gutsoothing and bile-stimulating herbs to help with its other health benefits (e.g., maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels). If you are already suffering from hemorrhoids caused by chronic constipation, then HEMOVEL™ is an oral tablet that can be used to help relieve the pain, bleeding and swelling of hemorrhoids. Its active ingredient, diosmin works by reducing inflammation and by helping to tone the blood vessels in the anus and lower rectum. If you are having problems with the “stop” or the “go” in your bowels, you can start by trying the non-drug suggestions above. If you do not experience any benefit in about a week, consult with your doctor or pharmacist regarding symptomatic treatment with over-the-counter medications. Keep in mind that certain medications can cause constipation, while others can cause diarrhea. It is important to chat with your doctor or pharmacist about the possibility that your gut issues are related to your medications. As always, consult with your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional prior to engaging in any new physical activity or starting a supplement to make sure it is appropriate for you. Christine and Fred Cheng are a passionate, charismatic sister-brother pharmacist team at their unique family-owned and operated Pharmasave in Cloverdale, BC. They specialize in natural remedies and compounding for both human and veterinarian use. Of course, before you begin any activity program or try any OTC supplementation, check with your physician and pharmacist.

people and places outside school for a sense of belonging. A question about the new BC Education Plan – a provincial move to alter various aspects of education system – elicited few responses from candidates. “There’s great change coming to our children’s education system,” said Enair, referring to proposals altering report cards and graduation requirements. “Our parents need to know what these changes are and they need to know how it’s going to affect their children.” Niovi Patsicakis, a retired Learning Support Teacher, said she feared some changes might negatively impact students with special needs, and that the government’s drive for skills training could curtail academic focus. When asked how to handle the increased demand for choice programs, incumbent Trustee Shawn Wilson said the board is proud of the programs (such as Montessori, French immersion and fine arts) that are offered. But he said their popularity can often cause the board a real conundrum. See TRUSTEES / Page 8

Trustees were then asked about the correlation between education and crime. “It’s not about bringing more police to the streets,” said Harman Singh, “it’s about bringing more education to the system.” “It’s a lot easier to education our kids now than try to fix them later,” said Jonathan Silveira. Julie Tapley said it comes down to having the proper funding to offer kids programs that make them feel valued. “When they don’t have that, the system fails,” she said. Kirsty Peterson agreed, saying if schools don’t have programs and places where kids can fit in, they’ll turn to

YOU HAVE A CHOICE IN THIS ELECTION But, Only One Puts Surrey First! The Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC) belongs to the people of Surrey. It develops city-owned land and pays a dividend to our city that helps fund more police, parks, pools, arts facilities, and community rec centres. It also puts the interests of Surrey residents ahead of developers. Doug McCallum wants to eliminate the Surrey City Development Corporation. Linda Hepner and the Surrey First Team say he’s wrong.
Here’s What the Choice Means ELIMINATE – SCDC
KEEP – SCDC
[ Selling off public land to developers is shortsighted [ Millions in revenues to the city will be gone [ Reduces funding for new police [ Reduces funding for new parks, pools, community and rec centres
Protects Surrey’s lands in perpetuity Surrey’s residents come first as we invest in our community Provides valuable revenue stream to the City Keeps property taxes lowest in the region More money for new police More money for new parks, pools, community and rec centres
On November 15, don’t turn back the clock. Keep Surrey moving forward.
Vote for Linda Hepner and the Surrey First Team.

“When you put a choice program in a school, that sometimes means there’s not enough space for neighbourhood children,” he said. Garry Thind suggested decisions on where to place choice programs be based on the unique demographics, such a language, in specific neighbourhoods. In closing comments, incumbent Trustee Charlene Dobie pointed out she was the only current trustee who voted against board members receiving a raise this year, and has donated her $600 per year increase back to community school programs. Sikandar Hayat said if elected,

Unearthing Surrey’s roots in the garden By Jennifer Lang An exhibition at Surrey’s historic Stewart Farm reveals the connection between tulips, a former mayor of Surrey, and the B.C. legislature. Dig It!, which ends Saturday (Nov. 1), unearths early gardening practices in the city, featuring artifacts and photos from Surrey’s collections. They tell the stories behind the growing business of backyard gardening, along with contemporary paintings,
and the heritage garden. “The exhibit is about gardening – it’s a cornucopia of tidbits of what we’ve learned in the past, and how it’s influencing things today,” says Jerrilin Spence, exhibit curator. Gardening for pleasure – rather than for sustenance – has been part of Surrey’s culture since its earliest days, and the passion has only grown. Former B.C. premier William Vander Zalm, for example, got his start out of high school selling tulip bulbs, and later

William Vander Zalm, with a potted palm, C. 1960.
ran a garden centre. “He really got his start selling tulip bulbs,” she said. “His first foray into the business world was gardening.” Vander Zalm would later enter politics, first as an alderman, then becoming mayor of Surrey, and finally premier of the province, but his garden would never be too far away. He even penned a gardening book and ran Fantasy Garden World in Richmond. The main focus of the small exhibit is the art and science and
technique of gardening and how gardening has changed through time – even as many things about gardening stay the same, says Spence. Travelling salesmen used to sell seeds to the burgeoning home market of the backyard gardeners who would later crowd garden centres like Art Knapp’s and Potters each spring. There have been ebbs and flows to its popularity over the centuries. “Gardening took off in the Renaissance era,” Spence said. “Then there was another peak after

the First World War. Then, soldiers returning from war would garden for therapeutic purposes.” Now, with throngs of Baby Boomers hitting their retirement years and opening up more leisure time, gardening is enjoying another surge in popularity. Stewart Farm is located at 13723 Crescent Road in South Surrey. It’s open Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Entrance by donation. For more, visit www. surrey.ca/heritage, or call 605-592-6956.

nother off track was the case again at Fraser Downs on Thursday night (Oct. 23). Due to the fact many horses have been shipped to Fraser Downs from various tracks across North America, Race Secretary Darren Callaghan was able to have 12 races. The interesting point of that is 10 different trainers won races with only Bill Davis and Rene Goulet scoring doubles. The score is now tied 2-2 between twoyear-old fillies, Fast Lane Elektra and Millbanks Writer, when they race against each other. Fast Lane Elektra won the third leg of the Betty Millbank stakes series to even the score, looks like it might come down to the post position draw in the $50,000 final on Nov. 11 at Fraser Downs.

With Halloween around the corner it’s a good time to start planning on how you can keep your pets safe and happy when the trick-or-treaters come calling. While Halloween is great fun for kids, the fireworks, strange costumes t fun and constant ringing of the doorbell can spook even the calmest of animals. When dogs and cats are frightened they are more likely to run away from their homes, jump out of open windows or dart into traffic. Stressed pets can also dart behave out of character — scratching or biting out of fear.
Keep pets inside
Please pre-register at 604-5926956. Tuesday, November 11 12noon-1:00pm 1 session, by donation (16+yrs).
Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threatened. Clear, current identification is your best chance to have them returned to you.
Don’t console your best ch pet anxious retu
Dressing your dog in a costume inhibits his ability to communicate normally with other dogs, making him prone to display aggression himself or be subjected to aggressive behaviour from other dogs.
Leave home without them While you might think it would be fun to bring your pet trick-or-treating, your pet may not share your view. The strange sights and sounds of Halloween can cause a normally friendly dog to bite if they feel scared or threatened.
