By Kevin Diakiw A former mayor and Surrey councillor is backing Barinder Rasode in her bid to become mayor. Bob Bose, who served on Surrey council for 28 years, said until recently, he was waiting for a dark horse candidate to come forward and run for mayor.

That candidacy didn’t materialize. Bose is now saying he will back Rasode, who has not yet officially declared her intention to run for the centre chair, but told Black Press in April she will run for mayor. Bose said he’s drawn to Rasode’s position on
wards. Even though mayoral candidate Doug McCallum made wards part of his platform, Bose questions his sincerity. Bose pushed for wards for some time, and says he only got support from Couns. Judy Villeneuve See STORY / Page 7

Store clerk slashed
Two people were arrested after a violent theft at a mobile phone store last week in Clayton. Surrey RCMP say two suspects entered the store in the 18600-block of Fraser Highway at around 6 p.m. Aug. 26, forcing the clerk into the back room, before fleeing with money and merchandise. The clerk’s arm was slashed with a knife during an altercation that occurred after challenging one of the robbers. The clerk was later taken to hospital with minor injuries. Although the clerk’s knife injuries were not life-threatening, the outcome could have been catastrophic, police
said, adding confronting a suspect during a robbery is not recommended. Eyewitness information helped police track down the suspect vehicle in the 14200 block of 64 Avenue in Surrey, apprehending two suspects within minutes of the robbery. The two suspects, aged 20 and 16, are from Surrey. Anyone with more information on this incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP robbery section at 604599-0502 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca to remain anonymous.

Ruts in road to farmland changes Agriculture minister tight-lipped on consultations over looser rules for business on ALR land
T
he month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now al-
lowed, and relaxing rules to per- decisions, including subdivision mit more off-farm products to be for family use or into properties sold from farms. of 160 acres or more. Letnick defended the 30-day “I think the general idea was summer consultation as ade- that people trust the ALC to quate. It’s based on 11 questions make that decision, and it should developed with staff, farm groups still go through the commission,” and local government. He’s also Popham said. “Actually the comnot counting how mission has been making those decisions anyway, many emails were and I think they’ve stacked up by propobeen quite fair when nents or critics. “I’m not conductsomebody applies.” She said farmers ing a plebiscite,” Letalso aren’t sold on nick said. “What I’m the notion of easing trying to do is come the rules for secondup with the best balance of recommenary businesses. “You will already dations to make to find situations where government that can there’s, let’s say a hold their own based on the idea and the welding shop or Tom Fletcher potential positive and something like that attached to somebody’s residence negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana who lives on ALR land,” Popham Popham was more forthcoming. said. “That sort of stuff has been She was invited to the formal ses- allowed, but it’s always had to go sions, and also won’t talk about through the ALC or some sort of them directly.

ities have a way of growing until they become the main business. A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

By Jennifer Lang From Egyptian royalty to remote Russian rarities, this year’s northwest regional awards cat show promises to be exactly what it’s called – a Star Studded Affair. There will even be a genuine feline celebrity on deck – Chester, the grey Scottish Fold kitten who spent a month at Montreal’s airport after being lost by an airline. Cloverdale’s Amanda Stewart bought the registered kitten from a breeder in Quebec, but he vanished in May after being boarded onto an Air Canada flight headed for his new West Coast home. Stewart, who has wanted a Scottish Fold since she was a girl, was about to head to the airport to pick up her new cat when the phone rang. It was the airline telling her they’d lost her cat. At first, “I thought it was my husband pulling a joke,” she said, explaining how she’d been reluctant to put the cat in cargo, fearing he wouldn’t be safe. As the situation sank in, she felt terrible – particularly when it didn’t seem Air Canada was doing all it could to find the missing pet. Stewart turned to Facebook, and before long, news of the family’s missing cat spread, earning news headlines across the country. A month later, on June 17, an airport employee found Chester roaming around the landing strip. He dehydrated, but otherwise OK. He was soon home in Cloverdale, seemingly no worse for wear. More than two months later, he’s thriving, says Stewart. “He’s doing great,” Stewart told The Reporter last week. “You wouldn’t even know he was in such a

hands of mediator Vince Ready, who walked away from talks between teachers and their employer on Saturday. “I’m not going to get into the details of things that are rightly at the negotiating table,” Fassbender said. The province, he said, has already indicated it will let the courts decide on class size and composition issues so an agreement will be easier to reach. Fassbender said he was not concerned that the

school announcement will be seen as a government attempt to distract the public from the school strike. “Absolutely not,” Fassbender said. “We’re not stopping business just because we’re in a labour dispute… I don’t want the labour dispute to take attention away from important work that’s still ongoing.” Fassbender clarified that the capital money for the school construction is entirely separate from operating money required to settle the teachers’ dispute.

situation. [He’s a] very easy-going guy.” Chester’s Facebook page has attracted 3,200 followers, who continue to receive updates on his progress. Stewart describes Chester as “Very laid back. Very easy going, and he’s super lazy.” It’s anyone’s guess how he survived on his own at the airport. “We’re still surprised because he doesn’t really do much, so we’re like, how in the heck did this cat manage a whole month by himself?” This will be Chester’s first appearance at the northwest regional awards cat show, present-
ed by the Cat Fanciers of B.C. club Sept. 5 to 7 at the Pacific Inn in South Surrey. The public is welcome to attend, says cat fancier Shirley Byington, another Cloverdale resident who will have several cats of her own entered in competition. “They will be able to see a lot of different breeds of cats, such as the Sphinx, Russian Kurilian Bobtail, Japanese Bobtail, and one of our newest breeds, the Chausie,” Byington said. The Chausie is an active, playful breed related to jungle cats while the Kurilian Bobtail, meanwhile, is native to Russia’s Kuril Islands, located between the Kamchatka peninsula and Japan. Spectators will be able to learn
about the different feline breeds, and breeders will be on hand for chats. They can also watch the various competitions. The cat competitors in a range of categories face a panel of judges, with points awarded for body, ear and head shape, as well as fur pattern. The event is presented by the Cat Fanciers of B.C. club. The show hours are Friday, Sept. 5 from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Sept. 5 and 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors and free for kids 12 and under.

and Rasode. McCallum, Bose said, opposed the idea. Bose also likes how Rasode has been working with the community. “She’s the one member of council that’s made a concerted effort to network with community,� Bose said. “And that’s constant with the idea of advancing the ward system.� Rasode said getting the support of Bose is “huge� for her. “It’s not only big news, I cannot express how happy and proud I am that he would lend his name to mine,� Rasode said. “It means a lot.� Bose is also planning to support his nephew Mike Bose, a Cloverdale farmer who has declared he will run for council this November. “He’d be a good council member, he’s got a fire in his belly,� Bose said. As to the possibility of running for council again himself, Bose says he’s ruled that out. “I absolutely would not, I’m into another phase of my life and it doesn’t include going backwards,� Bose said. The election will be held Nov. 15. Political watchers believe campaigns will ramp up as September begins. – Black Press

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.

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

Q: Why should your missing 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!

supports teeth. It can cause tooth loss as well as an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious problems. Periodontitis causes the inner layer of Dr. Parveen Atwal the gum and bone to pull away from the teeth and form pockets where debris and bacteria collect. The toxins produced by the bacteria break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. As the disease progresses teeth are no longer anchored in place. Periodontitis is usually the result of poor oral hygiene but there can be other factors such as hormonal changes, medications, illnesses and family history of gum disease. The most common treatment is scaling and root planing to remove tartar and bacteria from your tooth surfaces. Brushing, flossing daily and regular dental checkups can reduce your chance of developing periodontitis.

report on a strata building?
A:
Homeowners Association of B.C. requires that every strata building have a depreciation report unless Edith Katronis the owners vote 75% not to do one. This report examines the building for physical problems and recommends what repairs should be done even out into the future. It also examines how much money is available in the contingency fund and if there is enough to handle future repairs. If one is not done, it does not mean that there is something wrong with the building. If there is no report, a buyer should examine why it was not done by reading the minutes or speaking to the strata president. Small complexes often do not have one because the repairs being done are quite straight forward and the contingency fund is more than adequate.

(Pharm.), C.N.P.A. these conditions. Other than the traditional soothing ointments, creams, and suppositories, you can try the oral product, Hemovel ®. The active ingredient in Hemovel® is diosmin, a derivative of a citrus peel extract that has an affinity for blood vessels. It is believed to reduce the dilation of blood vessels in the anal area, therefore decreasing the swelling and likelihood of the blood vessels being damaged and reducing the pain and irritation. Other products that work similarly are Circuvein (by Flora Health) and Venosmart ® (by Lorna Vanderhaeghe).

Q: What are the top foods for preventing cancer in your dog?
are an important element in A: Antioxidants boosting your animal’s immune system and warding off disease. Nutrition is truly Jen Pinch the foundation for good health and can be the basis of reducing carcinogens throughout his body. A fresh, raw diet is much higher in natural antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables than a commercial cooked (kibble) one. Green vegetables are a great place to start in creating an “anti-cancer” diet. The chlorophyll acts to block the absorption of cancer causing aflatoxins which can be high in many commercial dog foods, especially those containing corn. Phytonutrients support cell functions and help to boost the immune system. Kale and broccoli would definitely be tops on the list of vegetables to consider, along with cabbage, bok choi, blueberries and raspberries. The best option for feeding is to lightly blend the mixture and add the vegetables to food. The fruits could be made into a treat and fed separately. Try to source organically grown fruits and vegetables as they are free from the chemical sprays and higher in minerals.

Keep in mind that not all pre-approvals are the same and that a pre-approval is not a mortgage approval. Some are just a simple rate guarantee subject to lots of conditions and a later approval. For a full pre-approval you need to submit your application and documentation so the lender can qualify you, and even then it’s a good idea to have a financing condition in your purchase offer because your property will need to be assessed by your lender. Be sure to not make significant changes after getting the pre-approval i.e. changing jobs, adding debt or missing payments, co-signing another loan, or using your down payment money.

A life without love is like a year without summer
Finding the right match The B.C. SPCA’s new Surrey adoption centre is already making an impact By Jennifer Lang It took a few long months, but Patches has finally found a forever home. The mature tabby was one of the first residents of the B.C. SPCA’s Surrey Education and Adoption Centre, which opened March 1 in Cloverdale. It was discovered after arrival that he suffered from a painful mouth condition and required oral surgery. Thanks to the generosity of a local donor, Patches underwent treatment, and healed beautifully. Photos of Patches lounging contentedly in his new home were recently shared on the centre’s Facebook page, where he’s one of dozens of success stories. “We love posting them on Facebook,� says branch manager Rodney Weleschuk. “It’s just confirmation that they’re adjusting well to their new home.� Patches’ long wait was something of an exception at the new centre, which combines a store selling everything a new pet will need with animal enclosures for about eight cats, plus rabbits, hamsters, birds and other small animals. The centre complements what the city animal shelter does by fast-tracking the adoption process for overpopulated pets. Surrey has a serious cat overpopulation problem and is home to what some observers believe are thousands of strays. Bentley, a steel grey cat with jade eyes and an “owly� personality, was another challenge. But he found a home, too, with a human who understands his unique charms. “We’re definitely matchmakers,� Weleschuk said. “It’ all about finding the right family for the right cat.� Adoptions took off this summer, with 22 animals finding new homes in June, 27 in July, and 21 in August. Most of those were cats, but some budgies and small animals found new homes, too. Weleschuk is understandably proud that the Cloverdale facility is keeping pace with the two other B.C. SPCA adoption centres in the Lower Mainland – Richmond and Port Coquitlam – and is gaining on Maple Ridge, a full shelter with dozens of animals. “We’re really reaching what my goals are,� Weleschuk said. Success lies in matching the cat’s needs and wants with the adoptive family’s. The formula places a lot of emphasis on conversing with prospective pet guardians well before any paperwork

is filled out. “A good match is a forever home,� he said. The Surrey Education and Adoption Centre property is home to the BC SPCA’s cruelty investigations staff. Renovations are nearly complete on a barn that will soon house seized livestock. The education centre welcomed its first children’s day camps this summer, and a fenced bunny patch is in the works – as is a chicken coop.

Registration starts at 9:30 a.m., and the walk begins at noon. Register online at www.spca.bc.ca/walk. More than 41,000 animals were helped last year by the B.C. SPCA, which doesn’t receive provincial or federal government funding.

A bronze for Spurs at 15U nationals By Rick Kupchuk The Cloverdale Spurs jumped out to an early 5-0 lead, and went on to a 7-3 victory over the host team to win the bronze medal at the Baseball Canada 15U Boys National Championships Aug. 14-18 in Vaughn, Ontario. The Spurs won four of seven games at the four-day, 11-team tournament, winning two of three playoff contests. Austin Brown went three-for-three at the plate with a pair of doubles, a triple, four runs batted in (RBI) and two runs
scored in Sunday’s bronze medal game. Sami Shoemaker was the winning pitcher, throwing six and one-third innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight Vaughn batters. After going 2-2 (won-lost) in the round robin, the Spurs began the five-team playoff with a 14-2 romp past Saskatchewan on Saturday to reach the semifinal round. Cloverdale got all the offense they would need in the first inning, sending 12 batters to the plate and scoring seven
times. Dawson Gray was the offensive leader with three hits including a double and a triple, collecting four RBIs and scoring twice. Wesley Moore had a pair of singles, scoring two runs and batting in two others. Starting pitcher Liam Vulcano threw six innings to get the win. The two runs allowed, both earned, came on five hit and a pair of walks. Vulcano struck out 10 Saskatchewan batters. In the semifinal, the Spurs quickly fell behind 3-0, cut the difference to one run
midway through the game but fell short in a 6-2 defeat. Adam Reston singled to score Moore in the top of the fourth inning, then went home on a triple from Brown to cut the Ontario advantage to 3-2. Ontario replied with two runs in the bottom half of the inning, and added another in the sixth. The Spurs won the provincial championship last month in Rutland.

Notes from the Backstretch...
Racing returns tonight
Live harness racing returns to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino tonight and tomorrow, ushering in the fall season after the summer break. The first race gets underway at the Cloverdale raceway at 6 p.m. Sept. 4 – a Thursday evening. “Thursday’s a new day for us,” says Jackson Wittup, executive director of Harness Racing B.C. “Beginning in November, we go back to our regular Friday and Sunday schedule.” The Fraser Downs backstretch opens its doors Sept. 14 for Harness Racing B.C.’s fifth annual open house. Visitors and fans will get a behind-the-scenes look at a live race day at Cloverdale’s historic track. There will be harness shoeing demonstrations, along with barn tours, cart rides, activities for kids, plus a barbecue. It’s free. Everyone welcome. The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2 pm. The backstretch is located at 17740 62 Avenue (Bill Reid Way).
management.” The Aug. 16 event featured live thoroughbred, standardbred and quarter horse racing, sharing one track for the first time in Canadian history and drawing between 1,500 to 2,000 spectators. – Cloverdale Reporter
Davis Jr. fourth Contributed Cloverdale’s Jim Marino struggled in the final standings at the Standardbred Canada National Driving Championship in Charlottetown, PEI. But the Fraser Downs regular driver made some of the races very interesting. Ontario driver Jody Jamieson will be wearing the Canadian colours to Australia in February at the world championship. I wish
Jody all the best. Back in April at Fraser Downs, Alberta driver Brandon Campbell took the Western region championship and finished a very respectful third at Charlottetown Driving Park. After a rough start, former Fraser Downs driver, Billy Davis Jr., came on strong and finished a good fourth place in the national championship. Davis Broke the 20-year-old track record for aged pacing mares when he won, with a $3,000-claimer in 1:53:4. I would like to thank and congratulate Standardbred Canada, Red Shores Track Track and the Province of PEI for providing my wife and I with an awesome experience.

Soy wins hockey gold
A local opinion ILLUSTRATION BY AX LLOYD
Cloverdale resident Ax Lloyd offers a potential solution to the B.C. teachers’ strike. Students sidelined by the dispute, which began in June, “Don’t need nonsense – they need education,� said Lloyd, who dropped off his cartoon Tuesday.
Tyler Soy returned home from the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka U18 international hockey tournament with a gold medal. The Cloverdale native played for Canada’s national team at the eight-team competition staged in Slovakia and the Czech Republic Aug. 12-16. Canada won all five games played, claiming the gold medal in the tournament final on Saturday. A forward with the Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League (WHL), Soy tallied twice and assisted on four other goals in five games played. He got at least one point in four of the five games Canada played, but was on the scoresheet in every game. He took his only

first full season in the WHL last spring, tallying 15 goals and 30 points in 65 games played. He will be back
in Victoria Monday when veterans report for the Royals’ training camp.
