Carjacking ends peacefullyBy Jennifer LangA 24-year-old man is

facing a raft of charges in connection with a double carjacking that involved a baby in the back seat of an SUV – and a multiple pileup in Cloverdale.

Th e Dec. 23 incident began with a report of a man with a gun near 186 Street and Fraser High-way at around 12:30 p.m.

Surrey RCMP were already on their way when word came that a suspect matching the man’s description had stolen a Toyota pickup,

and a female passenger was inside the vehicle, prompting extensive po-lice patrols.

Surrey RCMP said the pickup was then involved in a multiple vehicle collision near Fraser Highway and 68 Avenue, where the sus-pect fl ed the scene aft er stealing a Ford Escape with a baby still in the back seat.

A gun was recovered from the pickup.

Th e unharmed baby, and the SUV, were found abandoned in the area of 96 Avenue and 158

Street, and the little girl was reunited with her mother.

Th e manhunt ended with an arrest at a home in the 15900-block of 96 Avenue.

“Th e smart decisions made by everyone in-volved in this dynamic incident, from the offi -cers on the road to our dispatchers, were key in fi nding the child safe and sound,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. “What a wonderful Christmas present to be able to re-turn this baby into the arms of her mother.”

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSNancy Welsh assists her grandkids, Peyton Lemieux, 4, and his sister Myla, 2, with their Christmas crafts at Discovery Saturday: Very Vintage Christmas at the Surrey Museum on Dec. 20. The event featured activities and performances by singer Reid Jamieson and the dance group Jitterbug Junkies.

Envision branches outEnvision Financial is opening a new branch in

Cloverdale – the growing credit union’s fourth in Surrey.

“Cloverdale is a fast-growing and dynamic community and we’ve been looking to expand our presence into this area for a number of years,” president Shelley Besse said in a Dec. 19 press release.

Th e Cloverdale Branch is slated to open in June 2015 at Brick Yard Station, a busy commercial plaza at Highway 15 and Highway 10.

Th e 2,174 square feet location will be a full-ser-vice branch, off ering retail and business banking, and wealth services.

Envision Financial is a division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, with 38 branches and 29 insurance offi ces.

Ending 2014 on a happy noteAs the year draws to a close and a

new one begins, we’ve received a bounty of happy news to pass onto

Reporter readers.Th ere’s been a massive response to SOS

Children’s Village B.C.’s appeal on behalf of former Surrey foster kids for “some love and magic” this Christmas.

Th e society shared stories of four of the youths in its Transition to Adult program whose wish lists included the basics: food, clothing, shoes, gift s for their own young children.

Th e story, “Do Th ey Know it’s Christ-mas?” appeared in the Dec. 18 edition of the Cloverdale Reporter.

Th e society’s Cloverdale headquarters were fl ooded with grocery and mall gift cards – thousands of dollars worth – in the days leading up to Christmas.

Th e outpouring of generosity – which included off ers of brand-new winter jack-ets, a torrent of gift cards, plus sizable in-dividual donations – was as swift as it was heartwarming.

In a year that’s seen too many tragic and terrible outcomes for our Surrey youth, we should acknowledge – and cherish – the un-derlying decency and love that unites our community.

Th ere’s also a bit of magic going on at Fra-ser Downs, where a promising little horse named Buddy’s Hope (See this week’s ‘Along the Backstretch’ recap on our sports tab at Cloverdalereporter.com) is racing to big win-

nings for the Surrey Food Bank. During the month of December, owner/trainer Daniel Gaboury pledged to donate Buddy’s winnings to the charity, which assists 80 to 100 Clover-dale families every two weeks through its de-pot at Zion Lutheran Church.

On Boxing Day, in his third and fi nal De-cember race at Cloverdale’s landmark harness racing track, Buddy fi nished fourth.

Th at’s put his winnings for the month at $2,126 – money that will be matched by Fra-

ser Downs Racetrack and Casino, and Harness Racing B.C.

Visiting driver Phil Hudon, a Clo-verdale lad, also donated his fees to the Surrey Food Bank cause. His $350 from driving in 10 races brings the track’s contribution to the food bank to more than $8,300.

Nearly 630 of our neighbours were helped, thanks to the generosity of Clo-verdale residents, schools, churches, and businesses, who’ve once again en-abled the Cloverdale Christmas Ham-per Program meet demand.

We’ll have more on this year’s food and donation drive in next week’s edi-tion of the Reporter.

Meantime, program leads Trish and Kevin Lunder, who have helmed the seasonal relief program for four years, have sent in the following thank you, written by Kevin:

“So many people help make this Clo-verdale program successful... Trish and I would like to take this opportunity to

thank everyone who got involved this year. Special thanks to our CCHP team: Taya Vantol, PCC Administrative Coordinator; Tracey Cudmore, PCC bookkeeper; Jon Pet-tigrew, PCC Youth Pastor; Jim Heuving, PCC Executive Pastor; and Sean Rouge and his team from Surrey Association for Commu-nity Living.”

Part I of our look back at local headlinesJanuary

• Cloverdale’s Barbara Atcheson sits down with the Reporter to talk about a 50-year-old cookbook compiled by the Evening Women’s Association of Cloverdale United Church.

Personal Recipes: Cloverdale B.C. was packed with recipes re-fl ecting the values of a diff erent era, when women in the community were working outside the home in greater numbers – but were none-theless expected to labour over family meals where nearly every-thing was made from scratch.

Time-shaving shortcuts like microwaves and frozen dinners didn’t exist, Atcheson said, adding, “Th ere just wasn’t the selection of

prepared foods in the grocery aisle to buy.” In an era before Google or Recipe.com, trusted recipes were passed down, new ones eagerly swapped and shared.

February• Th ere’s a shake up for fed-

eral Conservatives as Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert announces he won’t seek re-election in 2015. Aft er serving out the current term, he intends to renew his license to practice law, and pursue opportunities in the private sector. Th e decision leaves two redistributed federal ridings without an incumbent.

• Despite talent shows, silent auctions and, yes, fi lm screenings

to raise money for a digital projec-tor, Clova Cinema operator Craig Burghardt reveals negotiations with the theatre’s landlords will de-termine whether or not the conver-sion will go ahead and the business will survive.

A new digital projector costs $50,000 to $60,000 – but without a long term lease, he fears being left without a venue to play movies if the building is sold.

• Members of B.C.’s harness rac-ing community breathe a sigh of relief with news a fi ve-year racing deal has been reached at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino in Cloverdale, run by Great Canadian Gaming.

FILE PHOTOGrade 10 students McKenna Alcombrack and Natalie Appel load trees into a bin trailer last year at Lord Tweedmuir Secondary’s Christmas tree chipping and bottle drive.

Th e deal – subject to provincial approval – outlines racing and funding arrangements for thoroughbred and harness racing, and says income from a portion of slot rev-enues at casinos at Fra-ser Downs and Hast-ings Racecourse will continue to be divided.

But the number of live racing days will shrink to a six-month season by 2016, some-thing Fraser Downs horsemen have been fi ghting against.

• Teams lace up their running shoes to walk two, fi ve or 10 kms as part of the Cold-est Night of the Year event to raise money for a new community kitchen in Cloverdale.

Th ey double their target, raising nearly

$60,000 for the kitch-en, launching at Pacifi c Community Church.

• Former Langley councillor Dean Drys-dale enters the Conser-vative Party’s nomina-tion race in the new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City, becom-ing the fi rst Langley

resident and fi ft h can-didate to seek the par-ty’s nod.

He goes on to win the party’s candidate nominating contest in November.

Reformed Church of Cloverdale celebrates its 60th anniversary by unveiling a mo-saic built from frag-ments of parishioners’ old dishes, from fancy Delft ware to teacups and pots.

Th e end result is “absolutely gorgeous” and demonstrates the cultural diversity of the congregation, which was originally mostly Dutch but today in-cludes Canadian, Me-tis, Scottish, Burmese Congolese, Chinese, Taiwanese and South African members, says local Sara Vandergug-ten, whose father was pastor in 1966.

• Local moviegoers are stunned to learn the Clova Cinema building has been sold and the new owners – Crossridge Church –

don’t intend to run it as a movie theatre in the long-term.

Craig Burghardt says the movie house can continue operating rent free, but reveals that the projector will dim later this summer, aft er 67 years.

April• Hands up everyone

who can actually park in their home garage. To those who cannot (because there’s too much stuff in there), the City of Surrey of-fers an incentive. Th e Give Your Car A Home contest urges residents to clean out their garages so their vehicles will fi t inside. Th ere are weekly prize draws and a shopping spree to Home Depot for those who enter.

on cue May 15 when friends, colleagues, and family turned out for the offi cial dedication of two City of Surrey trib-utes to Bill Reid. Th e former MLA, cabinet minister, and Clover-dale Chamber of Com-merce executive direc-tor passed away in 2013. Mayor Diane Watts said the renamed Bill Reid Millennium Amphithe-

atre and Bill Reid Way (62 Avenue) recognize Reid’s 50 years of pub-lic service to Surrey. A statue is also being com-missioned.

• A FairShare Food Society ‘Paper Bag’ ap-peal for donations rais-es questions aft er a Clo-verdale resident realizes the organization runs a food store in Langley that sells items to mem-bers at a discount.

Th e store wasn’t men-tioned in the appeal, resident Helen Torrance says.

Society founder Fowler tells the Reporter the food donated by the public isn’t sold – but that corporate dona-tions are sold at lower than market prices to members.

Executive director

Marilynn Herrmann says the Surrey Food Bank doesn’t solicit for donations, nor does it sell items to clients – corporately-donated or otherwise. “If someone comes to your door saying they’re from the Surrey Food Bank, it is not the Surrey Food Bank,” she stressed.

June• A barn fi re in Lang-

ley killed 18 horses, devastating the harness racing community. All but one horse belonged to JJJ Stables, owned by Rick Mowles and Bill Davis, a driver and trainer at Fraser Downs. Th e horses were valued between $700,000 and

$1 million.

A Little Bit of Pressureand a Little Bit of Heat

By Christine Cheng, R.Ph

Sometimes we need more from our clothing than just to help us

make a fashion statement; sometimes we need our clothing to be functional. There are two common types of functional clothing: compression therapy and far infrared radiation therapy, which uses pressure and heat therapeutically, respectively.

The most common forms of compression therapy are stockings, whether they are knee-high, thigh-high or pantyhose. These stockings are specially designed to improve blood fl ow from the lower parts of the body back to the heart via the use of graduated compression, i.e., the pressure or compression felt at the ankle is greater than that felt higher up in the stocking. Over-the-counter compression stockings come in two levels of compression: 8-15mmHg and 15-20mmHg. These lower levels of compression can benefi t those whose feet feel tired at the end of the day and/or those who spend a lot of time sitting and want to prevent future problems. These lower levels of compression do not require a prescription from the doctor and are benefi cial for introducing one’s legs to compression stockings. For those who spend a lot of time on their feet (e.g., nurses, pharmacists, fl ight attendants, traffi c control persons, bank tellers, construction

workers, etc) and notice that their feet are a little bit swollen at the end of the day may benefi t from higher levels of compression. Pregnant women who experience swelling in the ankles and legs may fi nd compression stockings very useful. Any compression above 20mmHg requires a prescription from the doctor as the actual need and then the level of compression should be properly assessed. Keep in mind that higher levels of compression require a proper fi tting by a certifi ed fi tter who can also help you choose from the growing styles and fabrics that are available. Two well-known and reliable brands are SIGVARIS and BAUERFEIND®. Bauerfeind® also makes supports and orthoses for many joints in the body that incorporate the use of compression for further support and enhanced mobility.

In the body, Far Infrared Radiation (FIR) has been shown to increase nitric oxide (which is involved in vasodilation), increase blood fl ow to the surface of the skin, exhibit antioxidant properties and inhibit the enzyme COX-2 (which is involved in infl ammatory processes). Clothing that employ the benefi ts of FIR do so by embedding ceramic particles into fi bres that are then woven into fabrics. These ceramic particles absorb FIR energy that is emitted from the body and re-emits the same energy back into the skin. These

specially-made garments have been shown to help reduce infl ammation, increase circulation, reduce cellulite and even enhance weight loss. Both FIRMA ENERGYWEAR and THERMOFLOW® products employ this FIR-refl ecting therapy. Both lines offer an extensive selection of products that target and cover just about every area of the body. For those who are more fashion conscious, products in the Firma EnergyWear line may be preferable.

Due to their therapeutic nature, it may be benefi cial to speak with your doctor or pharmacist regarding compression or FIR therapy products to make sure you are using these products safely and effectively. Also keep in mind that extended medical coverage may apply to compression products that offer a compression of 20mmHg or greater and to many of the Firma EnergyWear products if they are prescribed by a physician.

Hungry students go bananasBy Jennifer LangIf you’re stuck at school, it’s not a bad

way to cap off a dark December aft ernoon. On Dec. 18, Clayton Heights Secondary

students inhaled a 120-foot-long banana split in minutes.

Th e dish was a long line of green PVC pipe arranged on folding tables in a wide square in the school’s atrium.

It was fi lled with 68.4 litres of pre-scooped vanilla ice cream, plus 60 pounds of sliced bananas, 25 cans of whipping

cream, four packages of sprinkles and an undisclosed amount of chocolate and raspberry syrup.

Th e confection was put together quickly and without panic by the school’s Link Crew, student leaders who’ve been work-ing for weeks to pull it off .

Th e hungry-looking Grade 8s were in-vited to dive in fi rst, for free, and students in other grades were welcome to join in for $1 each.

Th e event was organized as a way to

boost school spirit before the Christmas break, and raise money for charity.

Th e Link Crew pulled off the frosty feat for the fi rst time in 2013, building an al-ready impressive 100-foot-long banana split.

Honing their technique, they managed to add on another 20 feet this year.

Sponsors included Mar-Tech Munici-pal Pipe Services Ltd., HY Louie & Family Co. Surrey, Extra Foods Clayton Heights, Transcold Canada, Chapman’s Ice Cream.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSSherri Montgomery, right, proves it’s all in the wrists when it comes to squeezing out those last drops of syrup; Alyssa Basi, upper right, puts fl avour fl ourishes on the giant sundae; Darren Qiu, at right, offers his big brother Danny a sample, and below, Grade 8s demonstrate admirable restraint.
