Walk in the cold to help new kitchen

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOJim Heuving and Kevin Lunder were on the lookout this week for team captains to join the ‘Cold-est Night of the Year’ on Feb. 22 to raise money for charities assisting the homeless. In Cloverdale, proceeds will help launch the new community kitchen at Pacifi c Community Church.

By Jennifer LangWhether it’s the chilliest night of the year –

or merely the rainiest – organizers of an up-coming charity fundraiser in Cloverdale are hoping to recruit at least 20 teams to take part in the Coldest Night of the Year walk.

Th e Feb. 22 event is all part of a nation-wide initiative focusing on raising awareness of homeless-ness and collecting funds for local non-profi ts working to address the needs of the homeless.

Locally, teams will walk 2, 5 or 10 km routes through the historic town centre in support of the new Cloverdale Community Kitchen – hosted and built by Pacifi c Com-munity Church as the result of 14-month-long fundraising campaign.

Nearly up-and-running now that construc-tion is complete, the kitchen will be home to three existing programs assisting Cloverdale’s homeless along with new programs.

Last year, 8,000 walkers braved the nation’s toughest weather (Feb. 22 on average is close to the time of year when Canada’s at its cold-est), raising more than $1.6 million for various charities across the country.

Th e aim is to give participants a taste of what it’s like to experience a cold night spent outdoors, like a homeless person might expe-rience it.

Th e goal in Cloverdale is to raise $30,000 to help launch the new community kitchen.At least 20 team captains are needed to re-cruit 7 to 8 of their friends, family members,or coworkers, with a goal of raising $2,000 per team. Walkers without teams, volunteers and

sponsors are also needed.It’s one of three walks taking

place in Surrey. Th e other two arehelping the Surrey Urban Mis-sion and Sources Community Re-sources Society.

Cloverdale walk director Jim Heuving said the opportunity to join in the Coldest Night of theYear was too good to pass up.

“It sounded like a great way to raise awareness on homelessness and focus onthe community kitchen,” said Heuving, who’s also a pastor at Pacifi c Community Church.

Th e event is the offi cial launch of the Clo-verdale Community Kitchen initiative.

“We really need to fi nance it,” he said.Between 14 and 15 teams have now signed

on for the Cloverdale event, where already $6,000 has been pledged to the cause.

Th e walk is from 4-8 p.m., but participantson the shorter routes will be done well before 8 p.m., he said. A light meal will be provided when walkers return to the starting line atPacifi c Community Church. In the past few

Musical teen hopes to Kickstart her careerBy Jennifer LangBudding singer-songwriter Emma Alves will

never forget the fi rst time she performed in front of a live audience.

She was 10 years old when she sang at a coff ee house in Langley.

“I remember when I held that microphone. I was so nervous, but I felt so alive!” she says.

At that moment, it felt like she became someone else, emerging from her shell to become the person she was meant to be.

Ever since, she’s leapt at each chance to perform in front of a live audience, whether it’s appearing at local music festivals or singing the national anthem at hockey games and at baseball fi elds.

Now the Grade 10 Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary student says she’s ready to share her music with the world, writing songs for a new CD she hopes to launch with a solo concert this spring.

Last weekend, she got a taste of what that might be like – she performed backing vocals at a night club in Vancouver for YUCA, a rock trio out of

Langley. Th eir new album is called Rebuilding the Fallen Empire, and it’s the fi rst release by a brand-new label in Cloverdale, Rising Empire Records.

According to Alves’ mom, Charlene, the mem-bers of YUCA heard her daughter singing at the studio and really liked what they heard, so they in-vited her to join them on stage at their record re-lease party on Jan. 18 at the Red Room.

Alves plans to take the stage alone on March 28 at Th e Venue.

weeks, the church has received nearly all the necessary approvals for the new community kitchen from Fraser Health, engineers, the Surrey Fire Department, and the City of Surrey – save one.

Th e architect did a last inspec-tion on Monday, and the fi nal oc-cupancy permit is imminent.

Meanwhile, supporters can “tour” the new kitchen in a video posted to YouTube on Jan. 16.

Th e video shows a fully-func-tional commercial kitchen with all the ingredients, including prep tables and storage, a profes-sional washing system, grill line, convection oven, griddle, mon-strous range hood and fans, plus a pantry and walk-in cooler.

It’s everything required for church groups and volunteers

to serve up hot meals and meet Food Safe requirements.

Prior to construction, three diff erent church groups includ-ing Pacifi c Community Church were serving up to 70-100 hot meals a week out of facilities that were completely inadequate.

“In many ways the process to fundraise and build the kitchen seems to have been a very long process,” project manager Alan Caldwell told supporters last week.

“However, I was reminded the other evening that from the launch of our $400,000 fundrais-ing campaign for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen to comple-tion has been just a little over 14 months.”

Th at includes a seven week wait for the building permit, he added.

Support for the project from the community, the church con-gregation, and the business com-munity has been critical.

“Together we made this hap-pen,” he said. “You made it all possible.”

Caldwell said the completion of a commercial kitchen is only the beginning, because it will spur new programs.

“We are all very excited about what it means to our own church, but what it means we can be do-ing in terms of [being] a catalyst for our community.”

Kitchen to spur new programs

Five for fi ghtingTh e federal Conservative race in the new riding

of Cloverdale-Langley City has hit the pages of the newspaper serving Canada’s ultimate Hall of Power: Parliament Hill.

Ottawa’s Hill Times has done a story on what it calls “a boisterous Conservative party nomination contest” shaping up in the riding, where fi ve can-

didates have declared their intent to seek the nomination.

In a story pub-lished Jan. 13, the newspaper notes that while no nomination meeting has yet been

scheduled, a former Conservative MP, former B.C. Liberal MLA and three other candidates have en-tered the race for their party’s nomination in the riding, which straddles the Surrey-Langley border.

Th e story includes comments from four out of fi ve hopefuls, including former three-term conser-vative MP Gurmant Grewal, who is the most recent to formally announce his intent to seek the party’s nomination.

Th e others are Surrey businessman Paul Brar, for-

mer MLA Dave Hayer, who moved to the riding in September, and Cloverdale life insurance salesman Mike Garisto, who has lived in the historic town centre for 27 years.

Th e paper also lists former Langley City council-lor Dean Drysdale, a professor at Kwantlen Poly-technic University, as a fi ft h hopeful vying for the Conservative nod in Cloverdale-Langley City.

Th e next federal election isn’t expected until 2015.– Cloverdale Reporter

I was just about to indulge in my morning caff eine fi x when I heard screaming com-ing from the bathroom.

“Help me mommy,” pleaded Molly, my precocious toddler. “She is coming to get me!”

A quick glance at the clock en route to the loo to save my three-year-old re-vealed that it wasn’t even 7 a.m.

It was going to be one of “those days,” again.

Just great.Sitting on the porcelain throne,

my pint-size princess attempted to deter her fearless and deter-mined one-year-old sister from making the toilet her personal water park.

She was unsuccessful and I was just a little too slow (I plead coff ee depravity).

We both watched in horror as Zoe, my feisty redhead, plunked both hands deep into the bowl and pulled out a wad of sop-ping wet toilet paper, tossing it carelessly to the fl oor.

Splat.“Get away from that toilet right now!” I

yelled, darting toward her.Before I could scoop her up she decided to

show her big sister and her tired mom who was boss. Leaning against the bowl – her

chubby legs wobbling to support herself – she splashed with all her might, drenching all three of us.

Now I was awake.Not exactly the wakeup call I had in mind,

but it did the trick.Aft er cleaning the three of us up, I checked

the time again and shook my head. Th e rest of the world was probably showered, at work and enjoying their second or third cup of coff ee — I still hadn’t managed to do any of the above. Such is my life; but that hasn’t always been the case.

It seems like only yesterday that I was out with friends sipping dirty martinis, popping bottles and sleeping in until noon.

Now my life as a stay-at-home-mom is all about changing dirty di-apers, warming bottles and consol-

ing a teething baby during the twilight hours. I can assure you there are no sexy vampires when dawn breaks. However, there is a fright-ening plethora of infomercials. Who orders a food dehydrator at 4 a.m. anyway?

Life in the Clark home is certainly no Nor-man Rockwell painting. And, let’s be hon-est, I am no Martha Stewart. If the queen of domesticity herself ever stepped foot in my house, she’d be disgusted with the endless pile of pink laundry, dishes collecting in the

sink and (gasp!) little Zoe’s penchant for play-ing in the toilet. Hey, I still consider myself a domestic rookie.

Aft er all, it was not long ago that I decided to leave my job as a reporter to be-come a stay-at-home mom — a job that is farmore demanding than any story deadline I’d ever faced.

While there are no pats on the back for ajob well done, pay raises (or any pay, for that matter), I am truly happy and fortunate that Iam able to stay at home with my two girls. Inthis economy staying home isn’t always a vi-able option. For my husband and me it means having to wait even longer until we are able to purchase a home. But that’s a sacrifi ce we’reOK with, for now.

Even when the day is in the toilet (quite lit-erally), I attempt to soak up every precious, fl eeting moment with my girls. For I know they will soon be grown up and living their own lives, raising their own children.

As a mom who has spent a great deal of herchildhood in Langley and has stayed put to raise her own brood, I am thrilled to be writ-ing this parenting column for Black Press. Stay tuned for my musings on motherhood –the good, the bad and the ugly.

Feeling blue? It’s not just youWinter is well

upon us. With the

holiday season over, the monotony of grey skies and rain can really get a person down. Some people are even trou-bled by Seasonal Aff ec-tive Disorder (SAD). Th e lack of sunshine and Vitamin D literally makes them sad. It is a form of depression that is increasingly common in the fall and winter months.

Th ankfully there are ways to combat the doom and gloom that sometimes accompa-nies the post-holiday season. Having expe-rienced SAD myself, I have found a few things that really helped me minimize its eff ects. Here are some simple things you can add to your routine that may be helpful and even fun.

Laughter. It lift s your mood and alleviates symptoms of depres-sion. I oft en watch sitcoms and funny movies to boost my spirits. Th ere are many websites devoted to humour. I created a board on Pinterest of things that I fi nd funny, and anytime I’m feeling

a little low I can look at it, get my giggle on and instantly feel happier. Th ere is even some-thing called Laughter Yoga available in some communities. Do what you can to laugh regularly and reap the benefi ts.

Exercise. We have all heard that it helps a body feel good. It also boosts serotonin levels and that is your happiness hormone. So get moving. I love to walk outside to get the added benefi t of fresh air. If the thought of the rain makes you cringe, get a bright umbrella. I bought a vivid yellow one. It feels like I’m walking under my own personal sun now. Hot yoga, lift ing weights and swimming are other great forms of exercise. Choose something you like and do it regularly.

Colour: One of the easiest ways to battle the blues is to incorporate more colour into your day. Fall and winter months oft en equate to wearing more grey, brown and black. Add a pop of colour with a red or purple shirt, a bright print, a vibrant tie. It feels good when we look

at colourful things. You can also change up your home and offi ce décor. Add a couple of orange cushions to your couch or a turquoise vase to your desk. You will be surprised at how much

this can actually help. Light: Th e lack of

sunshine is the cul-prit, so it makes sense to add a little light to your life. Fire up some candles. Looking at a fl ame dancing around is a calming way to boost your mood. Put sparklers on a birthday cake. Make the most of those rare sunny days by getting outside. If SAD is a real problem for you, there are spe-cial light boxes you can use on a daily basis to bolster your melatonin and vitamin D levels. Th ese therapeutic lights

are full-spectrum, af-fecting you on a cellular level.

Th e winter blues are a reality for a lot of people. If you struggle with SAD or just feel a bit low, let friends and family members know. Th ey can get you out of the house, distract you and make you feel bet-ter. It is always a good idea to have a support system of great people. Keep your chin up and remember spring is on its way.

Alves has this ‘light’From page one

Her parents, meanwhile, have turned to Kickstarter.com to raise $7,500 in startup funds that will help her record an album and hopefully launch her career.

Her parents started the Kick-starter campaign – a refl ection of their commitment in helping their daughter make her own dreams come true.

“As proud parents we always want to encourage our children’s creative fl air and to pursue their dreams. We have an opportunity right now to help Emma with her musical gift ,” the campaign reads. “All parents know that to see your child light up when doing something they love is a moment you want to see last a life-time. We are so excited that our Emma has this “light” when she is working on her music.”

From indie fi lms to web start-ups, creative projects that meet Kickstarter’s criteria are given an online forum where they can make their business case to the world.

Supporters who like what they see can invest in the dreams and projects of artists like Emma Alves, giving them the infusion

of cash they need to get their dreams off the ground.

Alves has just 16 days to raise $7,500 – enough to record, and release a full-length CD of her music, in addition to recording videos, expand her live show and reach out to fans old and new via social media.

Some of Alves’ favourite art-ists include other female singer/songwriters, such as Taylor Swift and JoJo.

She also performs covers, including Stay, by Rihanna, and

Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours, but she truly shines when she’s perform-ing her own work, such as her song, Th e One.

“I love doing my own versions of covers that other artists have done, or their own songs, but I love writing my own music too,” Alves says.

“I fi nd it so beautiful how you can turn words, and then add chords on the piano or guitar, and turn them into something amazing. I fi nd that really beau-tiful and inspiring.”

She’s excited about getting a chance to work with a music label.

It turns out her father is a musician, so it’s not surprising to learn there are photos of Alves as a toddler, strumming the guitar (“or trying to”) and playing piano.

“Th is music passion was in my right from the start,” she says.

By press time, more than $5,030 had been pledged to-wards her goal. Th e project will only be funded if at least $7,500 is pledged by 9 p.m. (EST) on Jan. 31.

Th ere’s a link to Kickstarter from her Facebook page, Emma Alves Music.

Surrey Board of Education Invites public input to its

2014/2015 Operating BudgetThe Surrey Board of Education invites your submissions regarding program and service priorities as the board considers its 2014/2015 operating budget.Each year, the board works to sustain priority programs and services to support students across the district. As was true in past budget planning cycles, district needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government grants. This means there are diffi cult choices to be made in order to achieve the balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best way.In coming weeks, the Board will meet with employee groups and community stakeholders, including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details of the budget challenge and to obtain input. Other community members are welcome to submit ideas, questions and suggestions regarding board priorities, and potential budget reduction ideas by writing to:

Written submissions should be received no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, February 28, 2014.For additional information and background, various district and fi nancial reports are available at www.surreyschools.ca.

H1N1 deaths misleadingBy Jeff NagelPublic health offi cials say more B.C. residents

have likely died of H1N1 fl u this month than the offi cial count of fi ve lab-confi rmed deaths so far.

Four of the confi rmed H1N1 deaths were on Van-couver Island, while the fi ft h was in the Interior and there are none offi cially listed in the Lower Main-land.

According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control,

there are 49 patients hospitalized in intensive careunits with severe infl uenza as of Jan. 17.

Sixteen of them are in the Fraser Health region and 10 are on Vancouver Island.

But offi cials say the number of deaths understate the true scope of H1N1 fl u fatalities because pa-tients hospitalized with fl u-like symptoms – even those who die – are not generally lab tested for a fi nal confi rmation of infl uenza or type.

“Most deaths from infl uenza will probably not have infl uenza identifi ed,” said Dr. Reka Gustafson, a medical health offi cer with the Vancouver CoastalHealth Authority.

As a result, she said it’s “not a meaningful exer-cise” to focus on the number of deaths or hospi-talizations as that can give a false impression thatinfl uenza is less severe.

Based on national averages, the BCCDC esti-mates there are up to 520 infl uenza-related hospital deaths in B.C. in a normal fl u season each year.

H1N1 makes up more than 80 per cent of fl u cas-es in B.C. so far this year.

Many pharmacies have run out of vaccine aft er alate scramble to get immunized.

Th e province says nearly 1.4 million British Co-lumbians have been vaccinated so far and the “un-precedented demand” has led to temporary gaps in supply.

More vaccine is on order and will be distributed across the province – 5,000 more doses are expect-ed to arrive this week, another 3,000 are expectednext week and the province has requested a further13,000 doses.

“We’re getting near the end of the infl uenza im-munization campaign, so we won’t have vaccine in every location,” Gustafson said.

She said fl u season can continue through March,so late season vaccinations can still help ward off serious illness.

Youth conference points the way to cultural careers

By Jennifer LangSandra Borger was

studying for her mas-ters degree in history at SFU when she took a summer job at a mu-seum in Maple Ridge.

To her surprise, she loved it, and the experi-ence set her on a new career path.

Until then, she’d planned to pursue an academic career, never realizing what else might be out there for her.

She’d had very little exposure to museums growing up – it had never occurred to her that working at a mu-seum was something she could actually do for a living.

Today, she’s a public program specialist with Surrey Heritage Services, a position that allows her to share her love of history with the public.

“A lot of people I know within the mu-seum fi eld, we just kind of fall into the fi eld because we get exposed to it in an accidental way,” says Borger, who’s organizing the upcom-ing Cultural Careers Conference for Youth, hosted by the Surrey Museum Feb. 8 and presented by Surrey Heritage Services.

Th e free, one-day conference for young people aged 16 to 20 is an opportunity for local youth to gain a better understanding of the types of careers avail-able to them in a range of arts and heritage fi elds.

“Th e conference is really for youth to see what’s out there,” says Borger.

Everyone from a video game designer to a museum curator are among the experts who will share their experi-ences and advice.

Th e conference also include practical tips from representatives from six post secondary programs in the region, including the UBC Ar-chives program, SFU’s Interactive Arts and Technology program, Emily Car University, Langara’s Studio 58 and more.

“We really tried to get both arts and heritage-type programs in,” she says.

It’s a youth confer-ence, so it’s designed to

be fun – and hands-on, says Borger.

Uzume Taiko will present a drumming workshop, and an im-prov troupe will involve participants in skits.

It’s free, but register in advance by calling 604-592-6956. (You

may sign up for a friend). Th e registration deadline is Jan. 31. It runs from 9:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the museum, 17710 56A Avenue, Surrey.
