ter sites open extra spaces for the homeless when weather is considered severe enough to pose a substantial threat to health and safety. When open, the shelters provide respite from the cold and a place to sleep between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., meaning homeless people are outside during the day, despite the cold weather. “We give them a warm breakfast and let them go,” Emerson said. “Daytime, they do whatever they can. Some use libraries, some just huddle, or go in and out of stores. Some visit friends.” In Surrey, additional extreme weather beds are opening at Surrey Urban Mission, Hyland House in Newton and Nightshift Ministries. The Cloverdale shelter was expected to remain open until this morning. A total of 650 extreme shelter spaces across Metro

More B.C. residents are turning to local food banks to help make ends meet. Nearly 95,000 people in the province used food banks in March, up five per cent from a year earlier, the national Hunger Count survey by Food Banks Canada shows. And the numbers are up even more in some parts of B.C. The Surrey Food Bank counted a 10 per cent increase this year after a 25-per cent jump in 2009. It now serves 250 to 300 people per day.

By Jennifer Lang A pedestrian and cyclist pathway through agricultural lands connecting Cloverdale to other parts of Surrey is just one of the bold ideas in the city’s Townshift urban design contest. Cloverdale residents got a closer look at what architects and designers say might be in store for the historic town centre at a public forum at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s trades and technology campus. The Nov. 18 event was the first in a series of five evenings planned over three weeks as part of the Townshift: Suburb into City project. Entrants were asked to imagine futures for five of Surrey’s key town centres, including Cloverdale, where submissions had to focus on the site occupied by the Cloverdale mall, slated for redevelopment in 2011. The winning entries were announced last February, and now the city is embarking on a public dialogue component in order to help move the project forward into its next phase. The committee is hoping to engage the public, city officials and the development community. The Cloverdale event attracted a capacity crowd to the small campus boardroom. Members of the public were invited to view design panels outlining the best entries for the Clover-

The Townshift committee is planning a sixth and final book collating community input and possibly some recommendations, too, he said. Cloverdale entries had to combine elements of affordable family rentals, assisted living for seniors, and a new Legion to create a cohesive new neigh-

Discussion focused on several ideas envisioned for Cloverdale, including the concept of a five-minute, walkable city where services and amenities are within easy walking distance is another. Instead of a sea wall wrapping around a waterfront, one of the Cloverdale entries proposes an “agri-wall” that would form a new, “Trans-Surrey” pathway, a pedestrian and bike artery that connects town centres and agricultural land. Cloverdale is partly enveloped by the Agricultural Land Reserve, which limits urban sprawl and gives the town centre distinct boundaries. “The city of Surrey has these islands of development in agricul-

The numbers are good, but the Cloverdale Curling Club is still looking for volunteers with special skills to work at the B.C. Women’s Provincial Championship Jan. 17-23, 2010. “We have 47 volunteers, not counting 23-25 on the host committee,” said volunteer coordinator Betsy Terpsma. “So we are looking good for general recruitment.” But the club still needs volunteers in first aid and bartending, with a minimum commitment of working two shifts, each shift lasting four to six hours. Drivers are also needed, and to commit to transporting a team during the week of competition. Assistance from Level 1 and Level 2 curling officials would also be welcomed, to assist as on-ice observers, timers and hog-line officials. “All volunteers will have access to the volunteer lounge during their shift, as well as a wind-up party and prizes,” said Terpsma. “We hope to provide T-shirts at no cost to all our volunteers.” Anyone interested can visit the website at www.bcscotties.ca and fill out an online form. Forms can also be printed and dropped off at the Cloverdale Curling Club, located at 6150 176 Street. Tournament organizers are expecting 200300 spectators a day at the Cloverdale club, watching 10 teams compete for the B.C. berth at the Scott Tournament of Hearts in Prince Edward Island. Draws are tentatively scheduled for noon and 7 p.m. each day during the round robin. Four teams will advance to a playoff round Jan. 21-23.

Need to speed trumps safety To the editor; Re: “Moms fight to slow traffic,” Nov. 12 It is just disgusting to hear that out of all the people; HandyDart ran over the sign! Appalling! And this lady who took the time to stop her car and picked up then throws the sign... obviously she wasn’t in a hurry and wanted
to boycott a child/children’s safety – after all speed trumps over safety in her own mind. I remember there’s a place where they have all those island centres in the middle of the street to make people slow down; that could be an consideration. I hope Surrey listens and puts in something like that.

‘Unprecedented growth’ in SD 36
Education Minister says stakeholders are working on long-term solutions to problems in Surrey School District To the editor; Re: “Not yet within expectations?” Nov. 12 I would like to respond to your editorial last week regarding Hazelgrove Elementary and student space in Surrey. We have been working closely with our partners in School District 36 to respond to Surrey’s unprecedented growth by creating more than 3,000 new student spaces in the district since 2005. In fact, since 2001 we’ve invested more than $219 million for 51 Surrey capital and seismic projects. Over the last 11 years, enrolment in SD 36 has grown by an estimated 8,931 students, a 15 per cent increase unmatched by any other B.C. school district. We recognize this means Surrey faces unique challenges and we have taken some immediate steps to help.
George Abbott
The Cloverdale
We recently provided B.C.’s fastest-growing school district with a one-time capital grant of $2 million. We have also found some opportunities to provide additional space within the current initiative to provide classrooms to accommodate the full day kindergarten program. With the projects at Hazelgrove, Cambridge, Chimney Hill and Hillcrest Elementary, for example, we were able to add a total of an additional 200 elementary spaces on top of the 160 spaces needed for full-day kindergarten. In addition to these interim measures, we are working towards a long-term solution to address Surrey’s challenges in the 2011 capital plan, to be released this spring.

YOUTH AND THE CITY Surrey is formalizing its partnership with children in the decison-making process at city hall. Surrey council enlisted the help of more than 1,000 children in the formation of tis “made-inSurrey” Child and Youth Friendly City Strategy. While youth input has been sought in the past, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says it’s time to cement the relationship in all po-
litical decisions moving forward. About 27 per cent of Surrey residents are under the age of 19, she noted. “We should have input from our young people.”

Free trolley rides make touring a snap Passengers are asked to bring along a non-perishable food item or new toy for the Cloverdale hamper program By Jennifer Lang What better way to experience historic downtown Cloverdale on a cold winter’s day than from inside a toasty-warm vintage trolley? Saturdays this December, as well the Sunday of Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights, Cloverdale shoppers and sight-seers will be able to climb aboard an old-fashioned, San Franciscostyle trolley bus – for free – and enjoy an escorted tour in style. If only riding the bus was always this cosy.
Trolleys are provided by the Vancouver Trolley Company, best known for operating sightseeing and seasonal tours of Vancouver attractions, including world-famous Stanley Park. The trolleys have padded wooden seats and large windows that offer passengers a great view of the sights. The rides are free, but passengers are asked to bring along a non-perishable food item or new toy for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program, a local initiative now in its 19th successful year.
Tours take in the Cloverdale Rodeo Fairgrounds, downtown, and residential areas. The route takes in Clover Square Village with various pickup spots along the way, including Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, PriceSmart Foods and the Holiday Inn and Suites. Trolley tours run Dec. 4, 11, and 18 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from noon to 7 p.m. Dec. 5. Call 604-574-9802 or 604-576-3155 for more information. or visit www.cloverdale.bc.c.a or www.cloverdalebia.com.
Two ears for a reason Hearing with both ears, as nature intended, is called binaural hearing. It allows us to hear sounds accurately and more naturally. Especially in noisy situations, it gives us a sense of balance and direction. Approximately 80 percent of individuals with hearing loss have hearing loss in both ears. Yet some people only wear a hearing aid in one ear. Amplifying only one ear when both ears have a hearing loss can put you at a disadvantage. It can make it more difficult to hear noise, understand speech, and detect

where sounds are coming from. It can result in straining to hear and cause fatigue. Studies show that even when a hearing loss is worse in one ear, most people with hearing loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two hearing aids.

• Improved Localization When hearing with two hearing aids, the brain receives sound from both the left and right ears, making it easier to locate the direction of sounds. Know as localization, this skill occurs automatically for those with normal hearing. Binaural amplification often makes it easier to locate the direction of a sound. Localization is very important in daily life, an example is the ability to know which way to turn when someone is calling your name or being able to tell from which direction traffic is coming. Latest hearing technology Wearing hearing aids in both ears is more beneficial than ever with the latest hearing aid technology. Directional microphone systems, automatic volume control, and voice activated noise reduction systems all work to improve speech understanding and listening comfort in the many different hearing situations encountered every day.

• Enhanced Sound Quality MARIA SANTOS-GREAVES When hearing through two hearing aids instead of one, sounds have fuller quality and a sense of balance. Because two hearing aids are used, the volume levels of each can be set lower, minimizing the risk of distortion and auditory fatigue that can be caused by higher volume settings. This makes sound and the act of listening more comfortable and natural.
Deke’s Fitness uses a holistic approach to training in an innovative and dynamic environment providing clients with practical skills and teaching:

aids can result in clearer speech in normal listening situations. Binaural amplification delivers more of the sounds you need, so your brain can process the sounds correctly, making it easier and more comfortable to understand speech in noise.

Chronic pain and posture MASSAGE THERAPIST
In the fall & winter seasons, we are back at our desks full-time, teachers are back at work, routine activities have begun and we have settled back into our associated habitual postures. Some of the most common symptoms that present with postural changes are: tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, mid back ache and low back discomfort.
not only the symptoms, we will help create a plan to correct these postural dysfunctions that will help you begin a long term pain free solution. By incorporating stretching and strengthening and other homecare strategies, we want to empower you to take your health into your own hands. This is what allows you to create the change you need to alleviate pain long term.

Plenty to celebrate at Latimer Road By Jennifer Lang A wise old lion presides over the gymnasium at Latimer Road Elementary School, where students and staff are glowing in the protec-
tion of the feline animal spirit. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mascot is a lion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so are the subjects of two new murals painted by artist Jason Craft.
The other mural is in the school foyer, where some lion cubs, meerkats and other critters welcome students and visitors. Included in the giant

gym mural is a surprise honouring Quinn Dunbar, a Grade 7 student who passed last December away after a lengthy battle with cancer and is deeply missed. Look closely, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a black and white outline of SpongeBob Squarepants, one of Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite cartoon characters, principal Vivian Rygnestad said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painted to look like a young graffiti artist might have drawn it. Next to SpongeBob are the words, Quinn Was Here. Quinn, a funny boy who loved school and was always cracking jokes, is called Latimer

A lion cub is part of a new mural in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foyer.
Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hero, Rygnestad said. Craft, the mural artist, did much of the work in the gym over the summer, using scaffolding.
The mural in the foyer was completed this fall. Students loved to watch him work. On Nov. 17, staff and students held a school
community celebration to mark completion of the murals as well as several other projects: the new paint job on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first since the school opened in 1996 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; improvements to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground and a new retaining wall along the fire lane, complete with proper drainage. School custodians were also recognized. They are rarely seen by students since they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start work until 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The special assembly also included a performance by a local African heritage group called Kokoma.

Cloverdale actor tackles Crusoe panto It’s going to be a tight squeeze between entrances in a show that promises to keep Michelle Gaetz ‘on her toes’ By Jennifer Lang It takes talent and timing to pull off five different chorus roles in a single stage production. Fortunately for fans of British-style pantomime, Cloverdale’s Michelle Gaetz has both. For the third year in a row, she’s appearing in White Rock Players’ Christmas panto, a wacky version of Robinson Crusoe, literature’s ultimate shipwreck survivor. In panto, the chorus is no mere backdrop – it’s a centrepiece of the production. Chorus actors sing, joke and interact with the story’s main characters. Pantos are a traditional holiday offering the whole family will enjoy, blending acting, music, song and dance with broad, slapstick comedy. It’s tantalizing turf for an actor, Michelle Gaetz but surprisingly, Gaetz never wanted to go the community theatre route. She has always set her sights on film and television. But three years ago, she auditioned for the popular holiday panto – on a dare – and won the role of Princess Alice in Puss in Boots. The stage experience fanned the flames, turning a love of acting into a full-blown pas-

sion for her craft. She set out to take acting classes, branching out into film and TV clinics at Chameleon Studios with White Rock’s Wendy Bollard. It was the push Gaetz needed to take her craft more seriously. More recently, she’s been working with a Vancouver-based, private acting coach.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Unfortunately, her dream of working at Disneyland has hit a wee snag (no U.S. work visa) and her hope of landing auditions south of the border is so far proving elusive. But the determined Gaetz isn’t fazed; she’s just getting on with it. The task awaiting her in Robinson Cru-
soe might seem daunting; she’s playing five different chorus characters, a job that requires multiple, lightning-quick costume changes. “It’s a tight squeeze between entrances, but that’s what makes the show that much more exciting,” she says. “It keeps me on my toes.” Gaetz can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction to this year’s show, presented at Coast Capital Playhouse. It lampoons the story of Crusoe’s voyage through the Seven Seas and adventures that follow after the crew’s shipwrecked on Cannibal island. Directed by Katherine Bethell, the production boasts a top flight creative team that’s breathing new life into an annual event now in its 56th year, making it Canada’s lonROBINSON gest-running comCRUSOE munity Christmas WHEN: Nov. 26–Dec. 26 pantomime.

CHRISTMAS IN CLOVERDALE 2010
Dazzling parade to light up the town See clowns, horses, even decorated big rigs for kids, but the night’s biggest attraction is the arrival of Santa Claus By Jennifer Lang It’s one of the easiest ways to get caught up in the festive, seasonal spirit – Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights, brightening up downtown Cloverdale a week from Sunday. Floats decorated with lights will set fire to the night sky and draw thousands of spectators into the festive town centre, decked out for Christmas. It might be a good idea to get there early. As many as 7,000 people braved frigid, sub-zero temperatures to watch last year’s parade, organizers say. Some lined up as much as 45 minutes in advance to stake out good viewing spots. It’s a traditionFILE PHOTO al parade, but it’s Remember to dress warmly. dazzling. With floats, marching bands, antique vehicles and horses, plus a procession of big rig trucks – all decorated with eye-popping garlands of Christmas lights and other spectacular decorations. Bring your glow sticks! And warm blankets. You’re advised to dress warmly. Rain or shine, the parade starts at 5:30
SURREY’S SANTA PARADE OF LIGHTS WHEN: Sunday, Dec. 5 starting at 5:30 p.m. WHERE: Downtown Cloverdale; 176A St. &176 from 60 Ave., to 56A Ave. Tree-lighting ceremony: At Hawthorne Square. Donations of food and toys graciously accepted along parade route for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau.

Thousands of spectators turned out to watch last year’s parade of lights. Many brought glow-sticks.
p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5 in the Cloverdale Rodeo fairgrounds, then winds its way though the festive, historic downtown, along 176A and 176 Streets to 56A Avenue and then back to Hawthorne Square for a traditional tree lighting ceremony. The true star of the parade is the guest of honour, Santa Claus, who always arrives
in style (last year he was inside a carriage worthy of a Disney fairytale), along with a special, to-be-announced guest. Be sure to bring along non-perishable food items. Donations of food and toys are graciously accepted along the parade route on behalf of the Surrey Food Bank and the Surrey Christmas Bureau.
The spectacular parade is such a draw, it’s attracting spectators from outside the city of Surrey. The same goes for parade participants, with a large contingent of semi trucks from Vancouver Island once again taking part, including some trucks from Main Road Contracting, which has its head office in Cloverdale. Expect dogs, golf carts, racehorses, clowns, baton-twirlers, floats, sports teams, businesses, semi trucks, classic cars, local Scouts, savvy politicians and even transit buses decorated Rudolph-style. There will be refreshments for sale such as hot chocolate, popcorn and even chili, along with the fare at local restaurants along the way. It’s organized by the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce along with other parade sponsors. For more information, call 604-576-3155 or 604-574-9802.

Going to Bat for breast cancer research Earlier this year Ball Park Sports opened its doors selling cricket, softball, hardball and fastball equipment. This Best New Business of 2010 nominee, now has a corporate promotional gift and apparel division featuring products from: • Stormtech • Firstar • Ash City • Trimark-Elevate • Kanata Blankets • Starline.com • Leedsworld.com
Baseball teams went to bat for cancer research with some very distinctivelooking equipment on Mother’s Day weekend 2010 – thanks in part to Cloverdale’s Ball Park Sports. Owner Merv Sandrel donated 48 pink baseball bats that were used for all Lower Mainland Baseball Association (LMBA) league games May 8 and 9. The games were part of a special fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society called Going to Bat for Cancer Research. All 32 teams were encouraged to collect donations from friends and family. The weekend was a roaring success raising a total of $6,354, a great job for the event in its first year.

The Salvation Army has launched a website that features a Google Maps application that allows visitors to find a Kettle location. Zoom in to find the Kettle and even track donations – all with the click of a mouse or tap of your smart phone. Visit http://fillthekettle.com. The Surrey Salvation Army has set a target of raising $250,000 to help up to 1,000 local families. To volunteer or donate, call 604-507-4860.

CHRISTMAS MOVIE Are you planning to go downtown to watch Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights? Head down on the early side to grab a bite and even take in a movie matinee. The historic Clova Cinema in downtown Cloverdale presents a special holiday screening of Deck the Halls, starring Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick. The Sunday, Dec. 5 afternoon matinee – doors open at 3:30 p.m., movie starts at 4 p.m. – is an annual presentation. It’s Gammer real estate’s third annual client family appreciation day, so admission is by donation. Be sure to bring a tin of tuna or cash donation for the Surrey Food Bank. There’s limited seating available, so please RSVP to manny@gammer.ca by Nov. 26. Glee fans take note: among the star-studded cast is Canadian Corey Monteith, who plays the boyfriend of Mathhew Broderick’s character in the show. The Calgary born actor played “Madison’s Date” in the film. He now plays Finn Hudson in the acclaimed series Glee. After the movie, check out the decorations in and around Hawthorne Square. Some of the decorations were originally props used by the Deck the Halls production which filmed several scenes along 176 Street.
A SAFE RIDE HOME Drivers wanted: Operation Red Nose is seeking volunteers for the holidays. The 15th annual campaign runs from Nov. 26 to the end of December, helping make the holidays safer for everyone. More than 3,500 British Columbians answered the call last year, responding to requests for safe rides home. Organizers are hoping for more help this year. “It’s great to see that from one year to the next we continue to behave more responsibly with regards to impaired driving while enjoying the fun that comes with the holiday season,” says Jeanmarie De Konick, founding president of Operation Red Nose. The organization’s partners include ICBC, CTV and the BC Liquor Distribution Branch. Canada-wide, more than 50,900 volunteers offered 73,193 rides in 2009. To download a volunteer application form, visit www.operationrednose.com.
