Legion receives federal grant

By Lauren CollinsRenovations to the dated Cloverdale

Legion will be going forward in the coming months.

Th e legion applied for the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which is part of Canada’s 150th anniversary cel-ebration.

Th e program is for projects that “celebrate our shared heritage, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for Canadians,” according to the website.

Th e federal government program plans to invest $150 million over two years (with $46.3 million in Western Canada) to sup-port projects that rehabilitate existing com-munity facilities, including legions.

Strong preference will be given to projects that are undertaking meaningful upgrades to existing cultural and community facili-ties; upgrades that will provide long-term benefi ts to a community, will be viewed with pride by a community and are recognized as a lasting legacy from Canada 150.

Glenn Th omsen, the chairman of the le-gion’s building renovation committee, said he was told about the grant by city council-lor Dave Woods.

Th omsen said the legion had done a sur-vey of the membership, which indicated that the members wanted to stay at their current location, and use some of their reserve fund to “renovate and modernize the building.”

Th omsen said with the mail-out survey to the legion’s 1,800 members, they learned that 67 per cent of the respondents wanted to stay at the location, while using 50 per cent of their own building reserve money.

“So with that in mind, and this govern-ment grant coming out, we applied for a grant. We had a budget of $310,000 and the grant basically allowed for the federal gov-ernment to fund 50 per cent of the total bud-get of the renovation.”

In the end, the budget was altered a bit be-cause of some “ineligible renovations” that wasn’t accepted, according to Th omsen.

“Th e total budget was reduced to $304,00 and hence the federal government’s grant is $152,000.”

Th e way the grant is structured means Branch 6 must spend its portion of the bud-get fi rst, which they can start anytime, but the federal government money isn’t available until

LAUREN COLLINS PHOTOCloverdale’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 will be undergoing a total of $304,000 in interior and exterior renovations. The costs will be split in half with the federal government as part of a community infrastructure grant program coinciding with the country’s 150 anniversary celebrations.

More modern decorApril 2016. The legion has a year to submit the invoices to the federal government.

Thomsen said the building is “very sound,” but it needs to be cosmetically modernized.

“We have to remember the building is 60 years old and there’s been no renovations to it in the last 60 years.”

The current building at 17567 57 Avenue re-opened in 1957 after the original building com-pletely burned down in August 1956.

“We’re going to do things like new floor cover-ings, new dance floor, renovating of the kitchen, we’re going to modernize the bar, and renovate all three washrooms,” Thomsen said.

“We’re going to run a new sewer hook-up be-cause we have issues with the sewer hook-up.”

They also plan to give the exterior a more mod-ern décor.

“We will be getting assistance from Surrey City Development Corporation and the City of Surrey to give us some ideas as to what kind of exterior would be suitable with Cloverdale West.”

Thomsen said there are about seven or eight individual phases within the upgrade project.

He added some phases might be “awkward” for the members, but with other renovations, the

members won’t even notice they’re being done.“Our whole intent is to try and keep the legion

completely operational while we’re doing this. At most, maybe two or three days of closure, but minimal inconvenience to the members.”

Thomsen hopes renovations will begin within the next two to three months and be complete in about two years.

“We have to remember the building is 60 years old and there’s been no renovations to

it in the last 60 years.”

Is B.C. really burning? On a recent drive through the B.C.

Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of

Kamloops that were devastated by wildfi re in 2003.

While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fi res burned for 75 days and forced the evac-uation of 3,800 people.

With the early start to this year’s fi re sea-son, the media attention and eff ects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. will match that terrible summer.

You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wild-fi re Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fi re season, which were high but not remarkable.

Th e number of individual fi res is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of light-ning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before fi nishing just below $300 million. Th e 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that.

Forests Minister Steve Th omson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to re-

generate naturally.Pine forests need fi re to re-

generate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fi res to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fi re suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a tim-ber resource, helped create con-ditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fi res.

Th e 2003 fi re season set the tone for political debate on forest fi re policy that has continued since then. Th e opposi-tion points to recommendations from for-mer Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection.

Th is task has proven impossibly big, espe-cially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Vic-toria. Th e NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its gen-eral approach is to spend more money and hire more staff .

Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fi re sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or de-stroyed.

(Today’s big-city media formula is to em-

phasize danger and promote at-tacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.)

In her fi rst fi re scene appear-ance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fi res may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shift s. Th is is great positioning for the gov-ernment’s plan to attend the lat-est global climate doom festival

in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by re-cent forest fi re results.

In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record.

Is drought the “new normal” too? Th e B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow.

Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? Th at would be 2011.

LAUREN COLLINS PHOTOThe elementary school only opened in April 2014, but fi ve portables have been added to the property over the summer. The school district also expects to add two to three new portables to Katzie Elementary each year.

Still more students to comedents.

According to Surrey School District communication services manager Doug Strachan, most of the fi ve new portables will be utilized, but he added “a couple (portables) may be there in anticipation.”

Strachan also said the school district

expects it will be adding two to three new portables at Katzie Elementary every year.

A request for a new elementary school in the area has been in the district’s top 10 priorities for their fi ve-year capital plan for the Ministry of Education.

According to Strachan, the request dates back to 2013, which was the year before Katzie even opened.

Strachan said the boundary for Katzie was moved in an attempt to ease over-crowding, but they are still “playing catch-up.”

“Th e reality is we need another school.”A similar situation occurred in Septem-

ber 2009 when Hazelgrove Elementary in Cloverdale opened with four portables al-ready on the property.

Dancers head to ReisaTwo tap dancers based in Cloverdale make Team Canada

By Lauren CollinsCome out and support two local dancers heading

to Germany.Tap dancers Maya Zalo, 13, and Shayleen Dignall,

18, are headed to Germany to compete with Team Canada at the International Dance Organization (IDO) World Tap Dance Championships 2015.

Th e IDO has a membership of more than 90 na-tions, representing more than 250,000 dancers from six continents.

Th ere’s also world championships for ballet, jazz and lyrical, modern and contemporary, show dance and hip-hop at six diff erent locations around the world.

Th e tap world championships are held in Reisa, Germany. Th ere are seven to nine judges from dif-ferent countries.

Zalo and Dignall leave for Germany at the end of November. Th e competition runs from Dec. 1 to 5.

Dignall said the teams hope to perform their rou-tines multiple times.

“When we get there, we compete it and if we make it to the next round, that’s semi-fi nals and if we make it to the next round, that’s fi nals,” Dignall says. “So we hope to compete our dance three or four times. If we only get to do it once, we didn’t do too well.”

Th e girls found out they made Team Canada in May and they have been practicing at a studio in Langley since July.

Th e team rehearses every second weekend for two hours on Saturday and Sunday until October, when the practices are scheduled every weekend leading up to the trip.

Th e hours are long, according to Dignall.Zalo said she was excited when she found out she

made the team.“It was like one in the morning. I heard my mom’s

phone go off and I was like, ‘Is that it?’ because I had been waiting for it. I looked at (the email) and it was like, ‘Congratulations!’”

Zalo is in the junior group. She has been tap dancing for 10 years, but she said it can sometimes

be a challenge.Dignall has been dancing for the past 13 years,

but she has only been in tap for the past seven or eight years.

And like Zalo, Dignall was just as excited when she found out she made the team.

“I had a spare in the morning, so I hadn’t checked my email because I’d slept in, so my dad phoned me and he was like, ‘Check you emails, check your emails!’”

Th e girls aren’t the fi rst dancers from the studio to make it to Team Canada, though.

“Being at Dance Xpressions for 13 years, I’ve seen how many successful people come out of it. I’ve seen people go to Germany,” Dignall said. “I just hope that I can do that as well, especially with going to Germany and hopefully I can come back with a gold medal.”

For Zalo, she just feels honoured to represent her country.

“I want to try to do some of the other teams be-cause there’s hip-hop and lyrical,” Zalo said. “I don’t know if I would make it for those ones, but I would love to try.”

Th eir studio, Dance Xpressions, is holding a Pub Night at Rusty’s Neighbourhood Pub (17770 High-way 10) on Sept. 18 at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $20, which includes dinner and a drink. Th ey can be purchased at the event or from the studio during the fi rst week of classes.

Th ere will be a silent auction and a 50/50 draw.All proceeds go to help support Zalo and Dignall

with their overseas trip.Dance Xpressions studio director Keeley Mac-

Donald said the studio has the fundraiser every year to help with travelling costs for competitions, but this year they are happy to raise funds for Zalo and Dignall.

“We have not set a goal, but it would be so great if we could raise between $500 and $800 per dancer.”

Th e studio is also looking for more donations for the silent auction. For more information on that call 604-574-2277.

Meet the candidatesFour hopefuls vying to make history in Cloverdale-Langley CityBy Lauren CollinsWith the federal election in

just under seven weeks, some of the candidates are trying to get the public’s attention and vote.

In the new electoral district of Cloverdale-Langley City, which takes in Cloverdale, Langley City and a sliver of Langley Township, there is no incumbent.

So far, candidates from four parties are each hoping to make history Oct. 19 by winning the seat: Conservative Dean Dry-sdale, Liberal John Aldag, the Green Party’s Scott Anderson and NDP candidate Rebecca Smith.

According to Drysdale’s web-site, he has always been interest-ed in politics. He joined the Con-servative Party as a teenager and worked on numerous campaigns and served in the Prime Minis-ter’s Offi ce in the 1980s.

He also served on Langley Township council for two con-secutive terms from 1996 to 2002. He has lived in Langley since 1975.

Drysdale is a business man and a Kwantlen Polytechnic in-structor. He has become a fre-quent presence at the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce events since winning his party’s nomi-

nation in the new riding.Aldag has lived in six prov-

inces and two territories because of his 31-year career with Parks Canada. He was lived in the Fra-ser Valley for the past nine years.

He has worked with Tourism Langley.

For the past several years, Al-dag has been manager of the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

He also served as president of Flip City Gymnastics and as head of the Fort Langley BIA.

On June 21, Aldag ran and walked all the way around the new riding, using the longest day of the year to complete the ap-proximately 50-km journey.

Aldag, who lives in Langley Township, said he and his team have reached close to 25,000 resi-dents while out door-knocking this summer.

He added that he has been at-tending community events, local chamber of commerce meetings and neighbourhood association meetings.

Anderson, a construction manager with Bosa Construc-tion, is a long-time Surrey resi-dent. His family calls Cloverdale home, according to his profi le on the Green Party of Canada web-site.

Anderson has been interested in environmental issues since he was a teenager.

He kicked off his election cam-paign in July, spending Canada Day on a parade fl oat to roam through Clayton Heights. He handed out pamphlets to voters and candy to kids.

Anderson said he’s been to every event in the Cloverdale-Langley City riding and he added that he’s made a “big impact.”

Th e NDP’s Smith is the owner of Valshiva Consulting, which works with corporate and non-profi t clients.

She is also former executive director of the B.C. Psychological Association and a founder and past president of BullyFree BC.

Smith is also holding coff ee meetings every Saturday leading up to the election. Th e meetings take place in local coff ee shops throughout the electoral district.

Downtown Cloverdale

Integrative Pharmacy for People and Animals

President’s Message With the warm and beautiful summer we have had, families have spent a great deal of time outdoors. It has been good for restaurants, visitor attractions, and other businesses that thrive in good weather. Now that the school season is about to begin, retail outlets are selling clothes, supplies, electronics, and much more. We are fortunate to live a community with so much abundance.

The Chamber has been busy over the last two months working with the City and the

BIA to install screening on the old Safeway site. Steve Bednash is suppling photos of the downtown in full bloom, which will be enjoyed by motorists and pedestrians travelling on the 176 Street bypass.

There is an exciting development proposal to replace the old grocery store on 176 Street and 58 Avenue with four brand new retail spaces. Visit Natasha at the Chamber offi ce if you would like more information. It is encouraging to see investors believing in Cloverdale.

We have some incredible networking events upcoming:

September 15, Tuesday, Vault Restaurant – Our regular spectacularly-attended monthly luncheon. Our guest is speaking about City grants for façade enhancement. Our sponsor is the Rotary Club of Cloverdale.

September 25, Friday, Lunch & Learn, Cloverdale Recreation Centre - On Driving Sales.

September 30, Wednesday, BIG (Business is Good) Networking Event, Surrey Little Theatre. Come and meet prospective customers and suppliers and discover what goes on in the little church on 184th!

November 10, Tuesday, Chamber AGM - We will be changing our by-laws so that board positions are two year terms and will elect half of the board each year. We will be looking for new board members to run in November for this new two year term. If you have an interest in serving your Chamber and your business community, we want to hear from you!

WAYNE EMDE PHOTOCadet Sergeant Brandon Reid (left) receives the Lord Strathcona Trust Award from Reviewing Offi cer Brigadier General Ray Romses (Retired), Colonel Commandant Royal Canadian Army Cadets during the fi nal parade at sunset ceremony at VCTC.

Cadet earns top awardBrandon Reid beat out more than 150 other staff cadets

By Lauren CollinsCadet Sergeant Brandon Reid,

17, was awarded the Lord Strath-cona Trust Fund Annual Sum-mer Training Centre Achievement Award at the Vernon Cadet Train-ing Centre (VCTC).

Cadets train from September to June and then can take part in a six-week summer camp at the VCTC.

Th e award is presented to a staff cadet who has demonstrated out-standing leadership, promoted drill and physical fi tness, has exemplary dress and deportment, loyalty and instructional ability.

Th e award is also for the most outstanding Section Commander or Staff Cadet Sergeant in a direct

supervisory role.Th is was Reid’s fi rst year as a staff

cadet. Th e Cloverdale resident is a member of 2277 Seaforth High-landers Royal Canadian Army Ca-det Corps in Langley.

Captain Mark Iredale, Com-manding Offi cer of the 2277 Sea-forth Highlanders of Canada, RCACC Langley said at the sum-mer camp, Reid made sure the younger cadets under his care re-ceived the help they needed.

“He’ll sacrifi ce his own time,” said Iredale.

Reid said he did not know he was getting the award on Aug. 13.

He added that receiving the award felt “pretty good,” but he was

surprised because he didn’t expect anything like that.

Reid beat out more than 150 oth-er people for the award.

Th is September will be Reid’s sixth year as a cadet.

Reid said he joined cadets be-cause of his cousin. His cousin quit, but Reid chose not to.

Earlier this year, Reid was award-ed the Lord Strathcona Medal which is the highest award that can be granted to a Canadian cadet in each corps.

He was awarded the medal be-cause of his outstanding perfor-mance and personal involvement in the community.

REAL ESTATE

Should I wait for spring to sell my house?

There really is no difference between listing in the spring or winter especially if you are repurchasing. What is important is that your home shows well, is staged, priced well and has a great marketing strategy. It will then sell for top dollar no matter what the season is.

CHILDCARE SERVICESI visited a centre to check it out and there were a couple of kids misbehaving and not listening. Should I fi nd another or give them another chance?

LOL I love this question as it has defi nitely happened to us! We have a few children with special needs and behavioural challenges. I am SO proud of our staff, led by manager Nicole for the work they have done and the progress these kids have made over the years! But occasionally when staff sit down with parents the kids take that opportunity and run with it . Or they realize they have an audience and make the most of it! Your best bet is to make time to observe the centre as it operates. If the disturbances are still frequent and the staff seems unable to cope, then make your decision!

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINEQ:

A:

What can I do to prevent myself from getting sick this fall?

Lifestyle factors have a signifi cant infl uence on immunity: getting 7-9 hours of good quality sleep each night, managing stress, and washing your hands with regular soap (not antibacterial soap, as it can contribute to antimicrobial resistance). Nourishing your body also increases defense against germs: consuming adequate protein, colourful vegetables and fruits, and minimizing refi ned carbohydrates, which lower immune function. Immune-boosting supplements, in particular probiotics and herbs such as Astragalus, Echinacea, and garlic can also be very helpful. Optimizing vitamin D levels also plays a signifi cant role in boosting our immune systems.

Although catching a cold is sometimes inevitable, the goal is ultimately to get sick less often, and if you do, to fi ght it off more quickly.

Want A Mortgage-Burning Party? Five ways to do it sooner.

The faster you can pay off your mortgage, the more you’ll save in interest and the faster you can build wealth. Here are fi ve ways to do it sooner:1. Add a bit to your monthly payment.

Finding an extra $50 each month could shave years - and thousands of dollars - off your mortgage.

2. Make a yearly pre-payment. Put a lump sum on your mortgage each year, eg. tax refund or bonus. There is a much greater impact when made early in the mortgage.

3. Increase your income? Increase your payments. Just pretend your income didn’t increase and maintain your usual lifestyle.

4. Choose bi-weekly payments. Instead of paying monthly 12 times per year, pay every two weeks for 26 payments, giving you one more payment each year.

5. Stay informed. Don’t let your mortgage go on auto pilot. Save money at renewal and take advantage of opportunities.

DENTISTQ:

A:

Is fl uoride safe for me and my children?Yes, it is. Fluoride has many benefits including the ability to kill bacteria, help teeth resist cavities, and strengthen teeth from the effects of acids from foods and bacteria. The controversy of f luoride arose with public water f luoridation and concerns of overexposure. When over exposed to f luoride the most common adverse effect is dental f luorosis, which can alter the appearance of a child’s adult teeth when they come in. This is more common in rural areas where the content of the water is not properly regulated and with children who are swallowing too much of their toothpaste during brushing. The optimal water level is about 1.0-0.7mg per liter of water. At these levels it has been shown to help reduce the risk of cavities, especially in young children where the f luoride incorporates into developing teeth making it more resistant to cavities. In Vancouver the local water is not f luoridated so it is important to use toothpaste that contains f luoride, but monitor your children carefully during brushing.

Q: Is W10 actually free?A: Yes, you’ll need a PC running W7 or W8 & you can

upgrade free for 1 year.

Q: Can you go back to your previous Windows version if you change your mind?

A: Yes, M/S made it easy to revert back up to 1 month after upgrading.

Q: Why should I upgrade to W10?A: It’s a faster boot & shut down time, more secure

features & will be supported by M /S for longer than previous operating systems.

Q: What about the bugs I’ve heard about?A: Bugs are a real issue particularly if you have an older PC running W7. Wait

for at least 3-4 months to let the bugs & driver issues get ironed out.

Q: What about my mother who is running Vista?A: There’s no free upgrade to W10 from Vista or XP. You can buy a product

key from M/S.

Q: Do you advise upgrading to W10 or leaving well enough alone?A: At this point you could be getting glitches or it may not support your

drivers. Check to see if there will be compatibility issues with the programs you’re running before you consider upgrading. W10 has performance enhancements & is a mix of W7 & W8 but more like 8.

My friends talk about diatomaceous earth as their “secret” beauty ingredient. What exactly is diatomaceous earth?Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a soft sediment made up of the cell walls of tiny phytoplankton called diatoms. The cell walls of these one-celled algae consist primarily of silica and thus DE contains up to 92% silica making it a very rich source of this mineral. Supplementation with silica can help boost the skin’s elasticity, hair’s strength, and the strength of nails, teeth and bones. If you want to try DE, make sure it is food-grade and do not take it at the same time as other supplements and medications as it could interfere with their absorption.

Roger Bose announced as one of the city’s Civic Treasures

A historian, a reporter and musician, and a cou-ple with a passionate belief in Surrey as an arts hub have been announced as Surrey’s 2015 Civic Trea-sures.

Roger Bose, Alex Browne and Cora and Don Li-Leger are to be honoured at the Surrey Arts Cen-tre on Oct. 6, at the annual Business and the Arts Reception.

Th e award honours individuals who have achieved excellence in the production of the arts and/or made signifi -cant contributions to the development of arts and heritage in Surrey and beyond.

Each of the recipients “exemplify the true spir-it of a Civic Treasure,” Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the public art ad-visory committee, said in a release.

“Th eir contributions to the arts and heritage communities in Surrey are signifi cant and form part of the city’s cultural legacy. For this, we are truly grateful.”

Bose, a lifelong Surrey resident, is noted as a source of historical knowledge in the city, particu-larly Cloverdale; an active volunteer with such or-ganizations as the Surrey Historical Society; and an instrumental research contributor to an upcoming book about the Bose Family Farm.

Browne – who is a longtime arts and entertain-ment reporter at the Peace Arch News, a sister paper to the Reporter – is being cited for his decades of promoting and supporting artists and new arts ini-tiatives in Surrey; his creative eff orts and thoughtful critiques in print; and his own dedication as a musi-cian and actor.

Cora and Don Li-Leger have a “passion for local Surrey art and artists (that) is matched only by their love of global contemporary art,” an online summa-ry notes. Described by supporters as “an unending source of cultural knowledge and inspiration,” the Li-Legers are “tremendous role models and men-tors for many local emerging artists.”
