Richer MP payouts assured By Jennifer Lang Local Tory MPs Russ Hiebert and Nina Grewal can expect fatter MP pensions now that their election wins and the Conservative majority assure them of serving in Parliament until at least 2015. Both MPs, first elected in 2004, already passed the six-year threshold in 2010 to qualify for the rich pensions the Canadian Taxpayers Federation wants reformed. Defeated Vancouver South Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh, also elected in 2004, leaves with a pension worth $830,000. But another four years of service

The taxpayers federation says the formula is far too rich and wants it reduced to a dollar-for-dollar match. The only two defeated B.C.

Cloverdale’s Middy Lundy, left, with Waiting For The Parade director Wendy Bollard.

From the source By Jennifer Lang What was it like for the Canadian women who kept the home fires burning during the Second World War? Did they agonize for loved ones they were parted from for years? How did they cope? And, did they really paint lines on the back of their legs when they didn’t actually have silk stockings to wear? To find out, director Wendy Bollard went straight to the source. Canadian World War II drama Waiting for the Parade, presented April 28 to May 7 at the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock (1532 Johnston Road), is filled with insight. Set in Calgary during the war years, John Murrell’s play explores the lives of five very different women. In re-

searching the era while preparing for rehearsals, Bollard turned to local experts to help flesh out the nuances to the story. “I am very thankful that these women have opened up their lives to me, it has been so helpful in directing this play.� Cloverdale’s Middy Lundy was one of them. She lived in Saskatchewan during the war, and was able to offer first-hand recollections. “It was great to be able to ask Middy and all the other ladies what it was really like. Did you really paint your legs?� Bollard says. “What was it like to wait for six years to be over?� For more information, call 604536-7535 or visit 16thaveproductions. org.

Cloverdale Reporter Despite a clutch of conservative-styled challengers and defections from within his own team over the past year, Conservative MP Russ Hiebert cruised to an easy election victory Monday night. The South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale representative took 54.6 per cent of the vote, more than all of his rivals combined. Hiebert actually won more votes than the last election, collecting 31,990 to NDP candidate Susan Keeping’s 11,891 (20.3 per cent) and Liberal Hardy Staub’s 9,530 (16.3 per cent). Green Larry Colero got 5.5 per cent. “Now we can proceed with long-term planning,� Hiebert told his supporters, adding he was “tremendously happy, tremendously relieved� the Conservatives had formed a majority government. Staub said he hopes the election offers a chance for Hiebert to shift gears and become more accountable to local voters in his next term of office. “The big, blue machine got out the vote,� said independent Aart Looye, who got 749 votes. “They’re big, well-funded and well run,� he said. Voter turnout in South Surrey-White RockCloverdale was the highest of the Surrey ridings at 65 per cent. Further north, in Fleetwood-Port Kells, Conservative MP Nina Grewal also won by a comfortable margin, taking 47.4 per cent of the vote to 32.9 per cent for the NDP’s Nao Fernando and 15.9 per cent for Liberal Pam Dhanao. It was a different story elsewhere in Surrey, where Conservative Dona Cadman was toppled in Surrey North and Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal fell in Newton-North Delta – both after very close see-saw battles.

Don’t let racing be driven away To the editor; I would like to comment about what is going on at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. I want the people of Cloverdale to know that the horsemen are not looking for more money. We are not looking for more race days. We are looking to spread out the race days we have been given so that we can have the opportunity to earn an income 10 months a year instead of the six months we have now been given. Families can’t survive on six months a year

Parent appalled by racist vandalism To the editor; I find it appalling that the sign at George Greenaway Elementary School was damaged Friday night, April 29. The sign was broken into and the letters were used to spell “White Power”. Some of the letters were then

thrown around the playground, while others are missing altogether. What kind of person destroys the property of an elementary school? The Parent Advisory Council worked extremely hard for many years to raise enough money to buy that sign. And now

The Cloverdale

we will have to find the money to repair it. We will not be able to use it until then. The money we will have to use to fix the sign will have to come from something else that was in the budget, so that means taking something away from the kids. These “people” need to find

something better to do with their spare time instead of damaging property that does not belong to them. Shame on you! Disgusted parent of George Greenaway Elementary

the lease was signed with the City of Surrey, live horse racing was to remain continuous throughout the year. It is my opinion that Great Canadian is not living up to the terms of that lease agreement. Harness racing has been an important part of Cloverdale for over 40 years. We feel that we are being bullied. It is their big corporation against us. We are hoping for the support of the community. For Cloverdale to come together and not let harness racing be driven away.

Candidates clueless Community Calendar about Cloverdale Proudly sponsored by

You’d think the fate of our largest employer would rate mention To the editor; Re: “Candidates: In their own words,” April 29 In reading your interviews of local candidates in the Cloverdale area I noticed that not one of them made any mention of the ongoing issues between the horsepersons of Fraser Downs and

Sandra Roberts

Great Canadian Gaming Corp. Fraser Downs is one of the largest, if not the largest, employer in the area, employing approximately 3,500 persons through spin offs to the industry and not a single mention of what is hap-

pening. One would think that it would be a concern. Now that the elections are behind us I hope that this industry will be recognized and be provided with some assistance in remaining viable. Sandra Roberts Cloverdale

Voters demonstrate a cynical form of faith To the editor; Near the end of the federal election campaign, I read that the Conservative party and especially its leader, Stephen Harper, would receive (according to polling results) a disproportionately-large amount of political support from Canada’s (minus Quebec, for some reason) Protestants and Catholics, the latter which had typically strongly leaned towards the federal Liberal party during past national elections. The big question is, why? Harper is basically a proponent for the very, gratuitously wealthy while letting the impoverished peasants eat cake; also, he’s intent on blowing many billions of Canadians’ tax dollars on weapons (i.e., F35 jets) of great potential for massive quantities of human deaths. Did Christ teach these kinds of priorities by and for both his followers and non-followers? Those who are familiar with the teachings of Christ will know He emphasized that His followers should acquire only that which they require to

reasonably subsist. Can any Conservative-Harper-supporting “Christian” truly imagine Christ supporting the extremely-expensive mass construction of prisons for people caught in a get-tough-on-all-crime ideology? Large tax cuts for big corporations? I’m no Christian theologian, but I nonetheless truly cannot picture humanity’s Saviour getting into that kind of cynical mentality. And especially not the very potentially slaughter-prone F35s! He was the embodied antithesis of these three priority platform policies that the “Christian”-supporting Conservative party’s leader is hell-bent on implementing. Without doubt, such “Christianity” can be enough to make many non-Christians cynical, perhaps even unjustly towards the true form of this faith.

Living with the Living God In our backyard we have a couple of bird feeders. This time of year they need to be refilled often. Pairs of red-winged blackbirds, house sparrows, and robins have decided to raise their families near our backyard, and many other species visit regularly. It provides an enjoyable way for our children to learn about God’s creatures and their habits. My five-year-old son can identify about two-dozen species. Psalm 84 describes how a sparrows and swallows made nests next to the altar at the temple of God in Jerusalem, 3000 years ago. The Psalmist expresses envy that the little birds can live within the courts of God’s temple, writing, “My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God!” To be near the creator of the birds, rivers and mountains is his highest desire. Imagine living in the same house as the creator! That hope will be, and already is fulfilled for those who remain committed to love and worship the living God. Soon after Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. For many, this was a reason for despair. But for those who put their hope in Jesus, the temple of the living God became the hearts of his people. God dwells in the hearts of those who confess, “Jesus Christ is Lord!” When God’s people gather together to worship, God is with them. So come join us on Sunday, and get to know the living God. Ben Vandergugten Come join us for a free pancake breakfast on Saturday, May 21, 8:00am to 9:30am, and then head down to the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade.

By Jennifer Lang Melissa Boden has plenty of reason to stand tall these days. The Grade 11 student at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary was recently crowned Miss Teen Surrey 2011. This summer, she’ll represent the city at the Miss Teen Canada Pageant in Toronto, competing against teens from across Canada. But first, she’s heading out on the fundraising trail in support of Free the Children, the pageant charity (each contestant has to raise $400), and plans to play a

more active role in the community by participating in events like the upcoming Cloverdale Rodeo and parade – something she’s looking forward too, even if it’s a bit daunting to put herself ‘out there’. “I think it’s definitely going to be scary the first few times,� she says, breaking into a wide, friendly smile. She describes her hometown of Cloverdale as “a very small but big-hearted community.� Boden also plans to raise money and secure sponsors for her platform charity, the Canadian

Cancer Society, a cause that’s near and dear to her heart. Last spring, she lost her grandfather to the disease. “Having someone close to me pass away from cancer has made me more aware,� she says. He passed away on June 30, after battling leukemia. He had been diagnosed the year she was in Grade 7. But he took a turn for the worse last March and was hospitalized. “He passed away about 30 minutes after I left the hospital.� Raising money and awareness See BULLYING / Page 7

Bullying: ‘don’t feed into it’ From page 6

is not a requirement for the pageant; it’s just something she wants do to honour her grandfather’s memory. “He was always there,� she says, briefly pausing, “And I definitely want to help raise awareness.� Like many teens, Boden has a part-time job after school. She works at a store in Willowbrook mall. Before that, she worked at the McDonald’s Restaurant in Cloverdale for two-and-a-half years. After high school, she plans to attend university and to one day become a news reporter. But first, she hopes to come back from Toronto with a title, and continue helping out in the community. “We’re always handed things,�

she says. “I feel like a lot of us need to give back what we’ve been given, to have that opportunity to help others.� For Boden, a brunette with expressive green eyes, that’s more than a platitude. She’s had her share of knocks. It seems hard to believe, but boys picked on her in Grade 8 and 9, “For being so small and so skinny, I was always made fun of. People just judged me for it.� Fortunately, she realized there was a way to deal with the situation. “I just ignored it, and eventually people just stopped. When someone sees that you don’t care, they just back off.� A lot of her former tormentors have since matured, she says. She’s grateful to her big brother for giving her great advice on

how to cope with the bullies. “He always said, just ignore them. Don’t feed into it. Don’t let them have what they want from it.� She hopes to share what she’s learned with other girls. “I hope to bring awareness to teenage girls who are going through that phase in their life where they don’t think that they’re that beautiful. They taught us [at the Miss Teen B.C. pageant] be your own kind of beautiful. Don’t let anyone bring you down or judge you.� The Miss Teen Canada Pageant is July 9-17. Entrants are judged on personality, ability to communicate, stage presence, charm, academics, commitment to the community, beauty, fitness and confidence.

Mad Science delivers unique, hands-on science experiences for children that are as entertaining as they are educational.

1st PRIZE:

4 passes to the Country Fair and the opportunity to assist a Mad Scientist on May 21st at 1pm

2nd PRIZE: 3 winners will receive 4 passes to the Country Fair

By Jennifer Lang Henry “Box� Brown was a 19th Century Virginia slave who mailed himself to Philadelphia abolitionists in a desperate bid for freedom. He spent 26 hours hidden in a wooden crate during transport, using a hand-powered drill to make air holes so he could breathe during the perilous journey. He went on to become an outspoken figure in the fight against slavery. Brown’s remarkable journey is just one of the eyeopening stories along the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses used by black U.S. slaves to escape to freedom in northern states and Canada. Passages to Freedom, a traveling exhibit at the Surrey Museum to the end of May, introduces some of the personalities along the Underground Railway, and delves into the lives of slaves through narratives, models, music and interactive displays. Some 40,000 black refugees crossed into Canada before the American Civil War, arriving mostly in southwest Ontario. Their journeys were assisted by black and white abolitionists. The fugitives relied on signs, codes and symbols masquerading as everyday objects such as quilts, tea towels and even lawn statues that helped guide the way. Clues were hidden in the open, such as the old spiritual song that advised, “Follow the drinking gourd�, a line that actually referred to the Big Dipper constellation in the night sky, pointing the route north. The exhibit, developed by the Welland Historical Museum in Southern Ontario with the assistance of Heritage Canada, the Peterborough Centennial Museum and others, points out just how dangerous the journey was, and how much was at stake for anyone involved. In 1850, a new U.S. fugitive slave law meant slave owners could recapture runaways in northern free states. Anyone assisting a runaway could be jailed for six months. Federal marshals were required to arrest anyone believed to be a runaway, meaning slave owners could claim any black person as his escaped slave. There was an influx of people into eastern Canada. Even so, bounty hunters often crossed into Canada to kidnap and sell people into slavery, a devastating proposition, as Passages to Freedom reveals. Slaves on plantations lived in appalling conditions and had no rights or avenue for self-determination, providing a cheap labour force for cotton plantations and forming the foundation of the colonial economy. “[The mush] was put into a large wooden tray or trough, and set down upon the ground,� reads a passage by Frederick Douglass, a leading spokesman for the abolition of slavery. “The children were then

called, like so many pigs... they would come and devour the mush, some with oyster shells, others with pieces of shingle, some with naked hands, and none with spoons. He that ate fastest got most...� Homes were windowless, overcrowded log huts with dirt floors, a stark contrast to the luxury of the planation house at the centre of it all. “We lodged in log huts and on the bare ground. Wooden floors were an unknown luxury. In a single room were huddled, like cattle, 10 or a dozen persons...� reads a quote by Josiah Henson. The exhibit presents other startling facts: Women slaves were not allowed to legally name the father of their children; eight of the first 12 U.S. presidents were slave owners; visitors may also be surprised to learn that slavery was legalized in French Canada in 1689. Within a century, there were more than 300 slaves in the Niagara region. In 1793, the first anti-slavery act in the British Empire prevented further importation of slaves into Upper Canada, but allowed slave owners to hold those already in their possession until the slave was granted freedom at age 25.

It’s open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission for 2011 is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society.

Vote for a new comic hero By Jennifer Lang Our resident comic creator Jasper Jubenvill, 10, is hoping Reporter readers will help him choose the direction of his next artistic project – deciding which character will star in his latest series. Several months ago, we created a photo album on the Cloverdale Reporter’s Facebook page called The Comic Strip Kid. We’ve been featuring Jasper’s comics there every week, and inviting readers to take a look and leave comments. Jasper recently wrapped up his actionpacked adventure series, Clay Boy. Clay Boy is a superhero who can bend and change into things, depending on the situation. He was pursued by the evil Dr. Vanderplog in Jasper’s episodic series. Jasper says his comics aren’t meant to be funny. Rather, they tell a story. They’re episodic, with colourful characters who JASPER JUBENVILL IMAGE

Opponents block perimeter route ‘We’re being put at risk to get stuff to Wal-Mart’ Jeff Nagel About 25 protesters camped out over the Easter weekend on a section of the planned South Fraser Perimeter Road and some were vowing to stay longer to disrupt construction of the contentious truck freeway they condemn as a climate crime. At presstime, the protest was continuing and in its 13th day. The makeshift camp – with tents, tarps, a teepee, fire and a kitchen – went up on Earth Day (Friday), as protesters planted seedlings in the path of road-building crews in North Delta’s Annieville neighbourhood. “We’re being put at risk of asthma, cancer – if you’re pregnant your baby will have a lower IQ – because of the diesel particulate fallout,” said North Delta resident Richelle Giberson, one of the protesters. “We’re being put at risk to get stuff to Wal-Mart.” Giberson said the perimeter road goal is to help triple cargo flow through the port,

which she said will lead to more local air pollution – partly because the freeway won’t be free-flowing but will be initially built with some intersections and stop lights. “We’re going to have triple the amount of trucks sitting idling at intersections.” The protest encampment is being coordinated by activists from multiple groups under the banner of stopthepave.org. “I have no plans to leave,” said Surrey resident Tom Jaugelis, one of the organizers camped there. “At this time, I’m staying here indefinitely.” Organizer Eric Doherty said an extended occupation is possible and protesters will decide among themselves each day whether it makes sense to continue. Doherty said he believes direct action coupled with a court challenge launched by the Burns Bog Conservation Society can still stop construction of the $1.2-billion perimeter road, which will run 40 kilometres from Deltaport to the Golden Ears

Bridge and Highway 1. The project is 27 per cent built and slated to finish in two stages by late 2012 and late 2013. More than 560 properties have been acquired, including 93 homes that have or are being demolished, a dozen of which were expropriated. Construction is underway throughout the route. A transportation ministry spokesperson said peaceful protests are part of the democratic process and didn’t anticipate any work would be held up. The province maintains the project will dramatically reduce congestion, particularly on Delta’s River Road, often jammed with trucks, as well as some arterial routes in Surrey. But critics contend the project is coming at the expense of large swathes of farmland, some of the best First Nations archaelogical sites in the region and considerable amounts of wildlife and riparian zones.

By Boaz Joseph Port Kells never materialized as a freshwater port as its namesakes – two unrelated Irishmen named Henry Kells – had envisioned. But as a general store and post offices were added to the townsite in the 1860s, followed by an Anglican Church in 1892, a sense of community had already taken hold. That original church, east of Latimer Road (192 Street) and north of Wilson-Townline Road (96 Avenue) was torn down in 1905 under pressure from the Canadian National Railway line. “It was (also) sitting on a really good gravel pit, and Henry Kells (the one that stayed – the other Henry Kells moved to Edmonton) wanted that gravel for the roads in Vancouver,” says Louise Goode, secretary of the church committee at St. Oswald’s Anglican Church. “In return, he gave us this property.” Over the next several years after 1905, parishioners worshipped at the home of local Charles Corlett on Wilson-Townline Road. Meanwhile, according to legend (owing to a style similar to his work at St. Helen’s Church), architect Frank W. Macey drew up plans for a mixed Tudorized medieval church that would survive 100 years in the fast-developing industrial area of Port Kells. Today, St. Oswald’s Anglican Church is a quiet, picturesque oasis in the middle of a busy industrial park where the constant clatter of diesel engines echoes off the pavement and the walls of machine shops, processing plants and warehouses. Parishioner Elsie Preedy was “not very big” when she first attended St. Oswald’s – it was 1928, the

Foot, knee, hip or back pain? You may need prescription orthotics. Imbalances in the structure of your feet can cause pain in your feet, knees, hips or lower back. Prescription foot orthoses can provide relief, restoring proper foot function and alignment for your entire body. But be sure to see your local podiatrist for a comprehensive gait evaluation, biomechanical examination and a proper diagnosis on the cause of discomfort before considering orthotic treatment. Podiatrists are foot doctors specially trained to diagnose structural imbalances in your feet and prescribe foot orthoses.

was built in 1991. People came by horse and buggy in the early days, she recalls. One day, a “darling little child� – a teenager – set fire to it. “He met his demise a year later... on a motorcycle,� Preedy explains. There were other moments of excitement. Over a two night-period in June 1983, the church was broken into and the graveyard was torn up. “One of the graves had been dug up,� Preedy says. “We had a Satanic cult group who needed a skull. They (also) took the altar pieces, the cross and two large candles.� The three teens who were caught at their clubhouse were fined $450 each, and the victim of the grave robbery was quietly reburied. Further back, the post-Second World War church had movie nights for kids on Saturdays. Parishioner Sandra Cattermole tells a story of how one night, a cougar on the roof of the church surprised the man who brought the projector and movie into the church. He had to make a series of panicked phone calls. “They didn’t get their movie that night,� she says with a laugh. The church, like its community, evolved over the past 100 years. Weddings and funerals took place, renovations improved the buildings and garden, new community groups

came and went (Sunday school is still going strong) and new building materials and artifacts were donated. “Bathing beauties that we were,� recalls Preedy of the 1930s, “we used to have these massive picnics in White Rock. We took a ton of food down.� St. Oswald’s history also records when the left-handed clergy was seen doing carpentry on the church roof. After a growth spurt in the 1990s when the church hall was rebuilt, the congregation now stands at about 5060 people. Skits, Christmas parties and bazaars are still going on. A lunch takes place at the hall each Sunday after the morning service. “We are a family,� says Goode. “We’re there to support each other.� It’s a form of breaking the bread, says new priest Rev.

Q

Can you recommend a complete detoxification program for my “Spring Cleaning”?

A

The “French Paradox” refers to the interesting finding that while the French drink red wine even at breakfast their cardiovascular risk is relatively low. Now it was found that red wine contains Resveratrol, a very strong anti-aging anti-oxidant that helps to lower cholesterol, prevents heart diseases, and keeps you generally young and healthy. The Enzymatic brand of Resveratrol has additional sophora japonica flower bud extract, another natural stimulant for regeneration. For people who do not like swallowing pills, Resveratrol now comes in liquid form as well.

“Community Pharmacy Serving Cloverdale for Over 50 Years”

What exactly are solid state capacitors? I’ve heard the new Gigabyte motherboard has solid state capacitors. Yes, finally a solid state motherboard! We’ve seen all too many motherboards go by the wayside with swollen capacitors. Capacitors look like tiny unopened tin cans on an electrical board. The solid state capacitors are one piece but the regular capacitors are made in pieces (top different from the sides) filled with a liquid & when overheated expands the capacitor which weakens it and slowly destroys the motherboard. I’m still a novice what do you recommend I don’t do? Don’t leave too many windows open at the same time & don’t install anything that you’re not sure what it is. Why not? If left open too long it not only slows down your computer by using your memory capacity it sets your computer up to crash and then no windows will be open! Keep as many applications closed as possible. You could welcome a virus not knowing what you’re installing. What exactly is a server? If you have a website built you will need to put your new website on a server so the public can access it 24/7. A server looks like a computer and it normally parks websites, undisturbed & virus free (call hosting). A server’s only use is to park websites and allow the public to access them. Enormous, forceful fans normally cover servers keeping them constantly cool for prime performance and maintenance free. Best Wishes for a Great Cloverdale Rodeo Everyone!

Coin operated rides, jukeboxes and vintage signs are up for auction.

RED BARN IS (NEARLY) HISTORY This weekend is your last chance to buy something from Cloverdale’s famous Red Barn Antiques. The landmark store, closing the doors after 42 years in operation – 38 of them in Cloverdale – is holding a two day closing out auction tomorrow and Sunday. The once-vast inventory is but a shadow of its former glory. It was once Canada’s largest antique store, flourishing along with the smaller stores here, giving rise to Cloverdale’s widely recognized reputation as an antique capital. Still, there are some undeniably nifty collectibles and antiques heading to auction May 7 and 8. There are coin-operated amusement rides up for grabs, a few colourful, old fashioned gas pumps, wooden sleighs, and curios and memorabilia, from coffee grinders used in general stores to sought-after collectibles like vintage 7Up, Pepsi and Coca Cola merchandise, from signs and soda fountains to pop bottles and serving trays. Auction starts at noon both days. The new owner plans to open a modern furniture store inside the bright red barns at 5569 176 Street. The Cloverdale Antique Mall also recently closed down. Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce executive director Bill Reid recently told the Reporter the loss of the two largest outlets here signals the end of the road for antique alley – the historic town centre’s top-billed tourist attraction. “We’re almost there now,” he said, adding Cloverdale’s down to just two remaining dealers, Wayne Sutherland of Cloverdale Antiques and Fine Art, and Jack Wardrop, of Jack’s Place Antiques and Collectibles. – Cloverdale Reporter

Q

How will my children ever be able to buy their first home with these rising real estate prices?

A

This is a question I have been asked many times over the past 30 years of selling real estate. Being a first time buyer can definitely be challenging but there are many solutions that can help put a buyer on the road to owning their own home. First off, it is important to set goals. I always encourage first time buyers to save like crazy for one year. Work extra hours if you can and cut back on dining out and unnecessary spending. Consider starting off with a condo or a house that needs a little TLC. Purchasing a home with a rentable suite is also a great idea and can really help with the mortgage. Another option would be to buy with a friend or partnering with a parent until you have enough money saved to pay them back. With all the different options out there, it is actually easier than ever to become a first time home owner. Just remember, where there’s a will, there’s a way!

MRS. KAREN BENNETT 5th Degree Black Belt

Q A

What is a good age to start training in martial arts? Almost any age! Martial arts training has many benefits for the preschool age child. A positive, fun learning environment with a good balance of structure results in confident children that have the focus and concentration needed for success in their upcoming school years. In addition, the physical training results in improved coordination, strength, flexibility and an outlet to release some of that excess energy. For older children the added element of competition provides the motivation to strive for their personal best. Each student achieves many small victories as they overcome obstacles to reach their goals. Every challenge met such as learning a new move, reaching a new belt rank or breaking a board helps to build confidence. This confidence carries over into other areas of their life resulting in greater success in school or other sports. Adults of all ages find that martial arts training offers them a good fitness program, stress relief, confidence and fun. Our adult students often comment on how much they enjoy the social atmosphere that results from going through the challenges and successes with their fellow students. At our school a lot of adults have joined to allow them to share the experience with their children. Many of them even attend tournaments together so that they can cheer each other on in the competition. Cloverdale Black Belt Academy, "Making the World a Better Place, One Black Belt at a Time!”

SURREY WOMAN KILLED A 22-year-old woman is dead after she was struck by a woman who police believe was drunk. At just after 10 p.m. Tuesday, the Surrey woman was heading back from the Cloverdale Athletic Park, where she plays and coaches softball. She was driving her red BMW westbound on 64 Avenue, negotiating a turn onto 152 Street. Just then, a 34-year-old woman from Surrey drove her white Ford Econoline van northbound through a red light. Witnesses at the scene told police the woman ran from her van into a nearby wooded area. Police located the woman “showing signs of intoxication from alcohol,” said RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger. She is facing charges of impaired driving causing death. No names are being released and both women were alone in their vehicles. Grainger called it “another senseless example of a seeming impaired accident causing death.” The investigation continues. – Kevin Diakiw, Black Press

Balancing Act The snow and ice of winter have left roads in bad shape, repeated freezing and thawing of moisture seeps through road surfaces and causes potholes. The impact of potholes on tires increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tire failure weeks, or even months, later. It is best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that's not possible, don't brake during potholes impact. Apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just prior to impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tire and wheel assembly for a "solid hit' against the edge of the hole. If you hit a severe pothole, have us check your vehicle's alignment and tire balance.
