Rasode makes run offi cial

By Kevin DiakiwSurrounded by icons of every

political stripe, Coun. Barinder Rasode declared her intention to become Surrey’s mayor.

Amid splashes of navy and pink, Rasode portrayed herself in front of a crowd of more than 200 people as a fi erce mom ready to bring battle to the civic front, (her podium said, “One Tough Mother”) as she announced Sat-urday that she’s adding her name to the list of people vying for the centre chair this November.

She is competing for the mayor’s chair against former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum, Surrey First Coun. Linda Hepner and Surrey businessman Vikram Bajwa.

Rasode wheeled out some big guns of all political colours in mak-ing her announcement at the atrium of Simon Fraser University.

Th ree main speakers were in-troduced by MC Bob Campbell, the president of the West Panorama Ridge Ratepayers As-sociation.

Among them were former Conserva-tive Senator Gerry St. Germain who spoke in support of Rasode in her bid for the mayor’s chair.

He told the crowd Surrey has big shoes to fi ll – Dianne Watts was a great mayor.

Th ere are three good candidates, he said, but politics is about choices,

Watts to run for federal ConservativesBy Kevin DiakiwIn what is perhaps a surprise to no one,

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts will be run-ning for the federal Conservatives in South Surrey.

Th e popular three-term mayor will be running in the riding of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale (which will be renamed South Surrey-White Rock in a redistribu-tion before the 2015 election) for the federal Conservatives.

Th e riding has been a right-wing strong-hold since the early 1970s, with current Tory MP Russ Hiebert announcing in February he would not be running for a fi ft h term.

Watts describes herself as a small “c” Conservative with a well-developed social conscience. She said she was not offered, nor did she ask for, a cabinet post to run

for the Conservatives.Th e number-one issue she sees for the rid-

ing is rail safety: slope stabilizations issues, blockages of traffi c by rail and a trestle bridge in dire need of repair.

“Th at would be the one signifi cant issue,” Watts said, adding the City of Surrey has identifi ed about fi ve areas where the White Rock and South Surrey BNSF railway track could be relocated.

“If I’m elected, I will certainly be work-ing very closely with the city in terms of the work that’s been undertaken,” Watts said.

Added to her list of issues is truck traffi c.“We have the second-largest border cross-

ing in the country,” Watts said. “We have almost a million trucks going

back and forth across the truck crossing each and every year.”

Th at has a signifi cant impact on roads and communities, she said.

Th e 16 Avenue off -ramp is complete, but Watts said more work needs to be done. She

said Surrey has done well with securing fed-eral infrastructure funding and she wants tomake sure that continues.

City councillor joins race to become Surrey’s next mayor

Five vying for Conservative nod in Cloverdale-Langley CityFor most Cloverdale voters, the 2015 federal race in newly-redistributed South Surrey-

White Rock will be outside of their new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City. Like South Surrey and White Rock, it’s considered secure turf for the Conservatives, even though there is noincumbent seeking a return to Ottawa.

Five declared Conservative candidates are vying for their party’s nomination in the newly-constituted electoral area: Paul Brar, who’s the manager of a Newton banquet hall; former Langley City councillor Dean Drysdale; former B.C. Liberal MLA Dave Hayer; Mike Garisto, a life insurance salesman; and former Conservative MP Gurmant Grewal.

Th e Cloverdale-Langley City Conservative Association is expected to select their candi-date soon.

Langley resident John Aldag, who works for Parks Canada and is a father of three, is theLiberal Party of Canada’s candidate in Cloverdale-Langley City.

“...highly recommend him to anyone!”- D & M Karius, Surrey

2 The Cloverdale Reporter Thursday, September 25, 2014

and said Barinder Rasode is that choice.

He was joined by Maz Artang, 27, a one-time director of operations for the B.C. Liberal Party Hub Tour.

And representing the left for sup-port was veteran former Surrey Coun. Bob Bose, who appeared by video.

Some well-known faces also ap-peared in support of Rasode, includ-ing Sarbjit Batalia, mother of slain Surrey student Maple Batalia.

Rasode did not introduce a team, nor did she unveil a platform. How-ever, she promised signifi cant change.

“Fift y six days from today, on Nov. 15, the people of Surrey will be hand-ed the keys to the mayor’s offi ce,” Ra-sode promised the crowd. “Some call it a crazy dream, Us versus Th e Ma-chine... the election is about fi nally giving the community a voice to city hall.”

She also said the crime problem is largely due to a lack of police re-sources. “Th e RCMP has nearly twice the case load of the Vancouver Police Department,” she said. “Cases aren’t getting solved, and neighbourhoods are suff ering.”

It’s becoming hard to ignore the facts, she said. “Today, our city needs intensive care.”

She said in the coming days, there will be an announcement of her whole “360-degree” vision on public safety.

She has already said that will in-

clude hiring 200 community offi cers.“I’m going to establish a ‘communi-

ty think tank,’” Rasode said. It will be a gathering of community visionaries to help tackle some of Surrey’s more prickly problems.

People would have to put their names forward for that position.

She also hinted at strengthening Neighbourhood Concept Plan pro-cesses, involving the public muchmore in the design of communities.

“On Nov. 15, 56 days from now, you will be presented a clear choice. Do you want the status quo?” she asked.“I don’t. I think Surrey deserves bet-ter. In fact, I know we can do better.

– Black Press

Rasode: ‘Our city needs intensive care’

Rasode says the crime problem is largely due to a lack of police resources.

Students fi nally back in classBy Sheila ReynoldsFor kids and teens,

Monday morning meant dusting off the backpacks and getting into the routine of early wake-ups and pack-ing lunches, as well as clearing the cranial cobwebs aft er a three-month vacation.

Th e clamber began a few days earlier for teachers, who were able to fi nally enter their classrooms last Friday. For some, it was the fi rst time since June, while others stepped foot into new schools and classrooms for the fi rst time ever.

Sandra Succamore, a Grade 3 teacher at Sur-rey’s Sullivan Elemen-tary, considered herself one of the lucky ones, returning to work in the same classroom and teaching the same grade she did last year.

“I’m one of the more fortunate teachers,” said Succamore. “I’m not moving schools.”

Still, she said, it looked as though a bomb had gone off in her classroom.

Because the school year ended so abruptly when teachers went on strike in June, classrooms were not organized and sorted as they normally would

have been prior to the summer break. And furniture and supplies were further shuffl ed to make way for the usual fl oor cleaning while kids were away.

As well, teachers usually spend at least a week or two at the end of August prepar-ing their classrooms and creating a welcome educational space for the year ahead.

“Even though you’re planning all summer, we couldn’t get in our rooms,” Succamore said. “I’m trying to do what I do in two weeks, in three days. We’re all pretty much scram-bling.”

On Sept. 18, B.C. teachers voted strongly in favour of ending their strike, with 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement negoti-ated with the help of mediator Vince Ready. Th e deal gives teachers raises totalling 7.25 per cent over six years, im-provements to benefi ts and a fund to hire more teachers each year. It also includes a mutually agreed-upon process to address any future court decision, with the

government’s appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on class size and composition set to be heard in October.

In a letter to Surrey parents the following day, Supt. Jordan Tin-ney said hearing the deal was ratifi ed was “music to his ears.”

He said school staff will now begin the process of starting the year with the same pro-fessionalism, care and support that students have always received.

“We are proud of the work of our staff and we know your children will be well cared for,” wrote Tinney. “We have missed them.”

He also thanked par-ents for their patience and support through what he called a “long journey” that included many sacrifi ces since teacher job action began April 23, escalat-ing to a full strike that closed schools early at the end of June.

Th ough Education

Minister Peter Fass-bender had indicated missed instructional time might be made up, the ministry has now notifi ed super-intendents that the school year will not be extended to make up the days lost.

Surrey’s early fi gures show about 70,200 stu-dents will be entering public schools this fall – an increase of about 120 from last year.

Choosing one out of fi veTo the editor;I am a Surrey resident of 52 years. I have lived

in Surrey all my life. In fact, I live one mile today from where I grew up.

Th e Conservative nomination race in the fed-eral Cloverdale-Langley City riding is new, and has to date fi ve candidates.

Of the fi ve, only one lives in the riding and has for more than 25 years. Th e others do not.

I urge each and every concerned constituent to do their homework. Find out everything they can about the candidates. Who are they? What do they stand for? Most important, what is their involvement in our community? Do they really have this riding at heart?

When I go to the polls, it’s going to be for someone who has lived here.

I am going to throw my support behind Mike Garisto. He has lived here some 25 years and continues to be a voice for my community.

To the editor;As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Aft er months of frustrating negotiation

impasses, signifi cant personal fi nancial sacrifi ces and a great deal of negative

press, the teach-ers have proved their true colors – it wasn’t the money but the students they been have fi ght-ing for.

By accepting 1.20 per cent per year sal-ary increases plus a partial strike compen-sation fund (government pays back $105

million to avoid a future law suit that the government would be sure to lose) in exchange for improved overall system funding, the teachers have demonstrated the falsity of arguments thrown their way by the government.

Th ey have also challenged their detrac-tors and naysayers. Nobody expects the government to apologize for their actions, of course.

But what would its supporters do? We will see. Th e proof is in the pudding, as they say.

Tim Horton’s hit similarSurrey RCMP are looking for a suspect involved

in an armed robbery at a Tim Horton’s in Clover-dale last week that police say is similar to a pair of recent robberies that took place in Langley.

On Sept. 17 just aft er midnight, police were called out to a robbery in progress at the fast food outlet at the 17600-block of 64 Avenue.

A male wearing a mask entered the establishment and took the cash till. He is described as 5’8”, stocky, and wearing a fading-to-dark light grey coat with a hood, gloves, dark jeans and running shoes. A police dog fol-

lowed a track leading south of the location, suggest-ing – police say – the suspect fl ed by a vehicle.

Two similar robberies took place in Langley ear-lier in the week.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP Robbery Section at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anony-mous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

Machete suspect loitered Th e Surrey RCMP are renewing calls for public

assistance in identifying a suspect wanted in con-nection with an armed robbery at a cell phone store earlier this summer.

On June 21 just before 2 p.m., Surrey RCMP say an unknown male forced his way into a mobile phone store in the 16000-block of Fraser Highway and threatened the clerk with a machete, before fl eeing the scene on foot.

Eyewitnesses told police they noticed a suspicious man and a black sporty vehicle loitering in front of

another storefront for about two hours before the robbery took place.

Th e suspect is described as a very y o u n g - l o o k i n g white male with a small build (stand-ing approximately 5’4” to 5’5”) and wearing a light co-loured ball cap and hoodie.

Police have also released a surveil-lance photo (at left ) of the suspect in hopes of making an identifi cation.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP Robbery Section at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

Preparing Your Bodyto Fight the Winter Bugs

CHRISTINE CHENG

With fall and winter just around the corner, now is a good time to get your body prepared to fi ght the cold and fl u bugs that we will inevitably encounter. In addition to making sure you stay well-hydrated (preferably by drinking water) and eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, there are certain supplements that can be considered to help boost and balance our immune systems.

ESTER-C® (by Sisu) is a well-studied, non-acidic form of vitamin C that is easy on the stomach because it is made by buffering vitamin C with calcium. It supports the immune system by increasing the activity of immune cells, increasing the levels of antibodies produced by the immune system and by protecting normal tissues via its antioxidant properties. Unlike conventional forms of vitamin C (i.e., ascorbic acid), Ester-C® needs only be taken once a day because it can last in the body for up to 24 hours and can be taken on a regular basis.

IMMUNOSMART™ (by Lorna Vanderhaeghe) is a combination product that can help support the immune system on a regular basis. Beta glucans, derived from the cell walls of a bacteria called Saccharomyces cerevisiae can help balance the immune system (i.e., they neither boost an underactive immune system, nor do they suppress an overactive immune system) and seem to have antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Zinc

is included in this formula because it is an important catalyst in many biochemical reactions in the body and plays a major role in immune function. Immunosmart™ also includes a buffered form of vitamin C.

We are becoming more and more aware of the benefi ts of probiotics aka the “good bacteria” found in our bodies. Although we usually suggest a general probiotic such as ACIDOPHILUS ULTRA (by New Roots Herbal) for everyday support of gastro-intestinal and immune health, ULTRA FLORA™ HEALTHY DEFENSE (by Metagenics) contains specifi c strains of probiotics that have proven effi cacy in both decreasing the number and duration of upper respiratory illnesses.

Getting the fl u shot is very helpful in reducing your chances of getting the fl u and decreasing the severity of symptoms if you do catch the fl u. For those who cannot receive the fl u shot, choose not to receive it, or want to complement the conventional vaccine, a homeopathic program consisting of Thymuline 9ch and Infl uenzinum 9ch can be used. It is important to note that the homeopathic program does not replace the fl u vaccination.

If you feel like you have may have the beginnings of a cold, an Echinacea based preparation such as ESBERITOX® (by Enzymatic Therapy) can be very helpful. The polysaccharides and glycoproteins found in this combination of Echinacea purpurea,

baptisia, and thuja have anti-viral and immune-stimulating properties that are helpful in reducing the severity and duration of a cold.

Sisu’s COLD & FLU RESCUE with its combination of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (to protect the lungs against respiratory infection and reduce phlegm), Ester-C®, andrographis (an immune stimulating herb), and Echinacea is a potent formula to help you feel better faster if you’ve caught a cold.

Black elderberry extracts such SAMBUCUS COLD & FLU CARE (by Nature’s Way) can be very useful in reducing the severity and duration of both cold and fl u. This pleasant-tasting syrup is especially useful in children.

Taking precautions such as frequent hand-washing is a must in preventing winter illnesses. Of course, the best way to make sure your body is up to the fi ght against Old Man Winter is to be well-prepared, well-rested, well-hydrated and well-fed.

Seniors Citizen Housing Society

Board of Directors

Bethshan Gardens really is Cloverdale’s senior retirement residence

As the story goes, Bethshan Gardens started from an incident of

homelessness in the early 1950s. A citizen of Cloverdale was found deceased in the forest. While the United Church minister and the undertaker were burying the gentleman, they agreed something better must be available for people down on their luck.

From that idea, volunteers came together to form the Cloverdale Senior Citizens Society in 1956. The society obtained CMHC fi nancing to build 16 cottages for the housing of low-income seniors in Cloverdale. Many people enjoyed safe and reasonable accommodation over the next 60 years.

However, as time passed, the cottages fell into disrepair. Despite noble efforts, the cost of repair started to show the cottages were beyond their useful life. Volunteers again rallied to rejuvenate the original objective of the society.

In 2005, the board of directors

decided that a new building needed to be developed and the work on this idea began. As with all good initiatives, there were sizable roadblocks. The largest of these was the fi nancing of a $10 million project. Funders and regulators tried to dissuade the board from proceeding. They didn’t realize the resolve of the directors. Undaunted, construction funds were secured from the Ontario teachers pension fund and construction was started in 2007.

The destruction of the old cottages needed to be done before construction began. This was the hardest decision that had to be made as it entailed the relocation of the then-current residents. As diffi cult as it was, the board handled it with their usual care and consideration.

During the summer and winter of 2008, construction of the four-storey building brought new life to the 59 Avenue site. Neighbors watched and supervised as Bethshan Gardens was reborn. A project coordinator oversaw the interests of the society through

construction to ensure future residents had units to live in that were well built. The board of directors toured the building almost monthly. In October, when the roof was not completed, the board stepped lightly in the darkness to review progress, despite the rain from above.

With City inspections complete, the building was opened January 15, 2009. Beautiful interior fi nishes welcomed guests and dignitaries to the offi cial opening ceremonies a few months later. Mayor Dianne Watts and residents cut the ribbon to signify Bethshan Gardens open to the citizens of Cloverdale.

Four residents moved in on opening day, two of whom are still enjoying life at Bethshan Gardens. During the fi rst week of organizing, cooking and welcoming other residents, it was decided to have a congratulatory and complementary glass of wine with Sunday dinner. That tradition continues today.

Over the next fi ve years, more than 100 residents have enjoyed their suites at Bethshan Gardens.

Sixty different staff members have had employment.

Bethshan Gardens offers one and two bedroom units on four fl oors. Rents are all inclusive so there are no worries for residents about routine expenses. Two meals a day, light weekly housekeeping service, overnight emergency response staff and a variety of activities are included in the monthly fee. Rents are modest compared to the marketplace in keeping with the intent of providing housing to lower income individuals. The non-profi t ownership of Bethshan Gardens also assists in keeping rent to modest levels.

Bethshan Gardens is home to 70 people, singles and couples. A home-like philosophy determines many day-to-day decisions. Small pets are welcomed. Modifi cation of suites to residents taste is encouraged. A casual, friendly atmosphere provides a comfortable living style for residents. A large common room provides an ideal venue for movie night, bingo, crafts or just reading from the library. A new bus

has been added to the service offered. Trips to Krause Berry Farm, Steveston and Crescent Beach have already been enjoyed by residents. The inaugural run of the bus was with residents in the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade.

More than 75 per cent of the current residents have an association with Cloverdale. They have either lived here or are moving here to be near family in Cloverdale. Eight veterans also call Bethshan Gardens home. Bethshan Gardens really is Cloverdale’s seniors retirement community.

The future looks bright for Bethshan Gardens. Many more residents will be cared for in this independent living retirement residence. The fi rst fi ve years are just the beginning.

We welcome any donations in support of the seniors at Bethshan Gardens.

On behalf of Surrey City Council, it is my distinct pleasure to congratulate the staff, residents, and Cloverdale Senior Citizens Housing Society on the

5th Anniversary of Bethshan Gardens Retirement Residence!

The non-profi t ownership structure allows for affordable, comfortable and independent living at this beautiful senior’s residence in the heart of Cloverdale, and it is apparent that the values by which Bethsham Gardens was founded upon continue to resonate.

I would also like to thank the staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts and dedication to those living in this wonderful home.Best wishes for continued success.Sincerely,

Dianne L. WattsMayor

It is my pleasure to congratulate Bethshan Gardens on fi ve years of service to the Cloverdale community. As an independent

By Jennifer LangAll you wannabe Kathryn Bigelows and

Wes Andersons out there take note: here’s a chance to shine your talents on the silver screen. Surrey Little Th eatre is inviting all fi lmmakers and creative types to register a team in the 7th annual 50 Hour Film Chal-lenge.

Th e all-ages event pits teams of fi ve or more in a frenetic, fruitful weekend quest: to write, shoot, and edit a fi ve-minute-long movie for a chance to win $500.

It’s modeled on the popular 48-hour fi lm project format, with one key exception. Th is one has “an extra two hours,” event organizer

Brigitte Seib says. Th e concept was launched six years ago as part of Surrey Little Th e-atre’s 50th season of live theatre celebrations, dubbed From Onstage to Onscreen.

Th e fi lmmaking challenge was a hit, and has been an annual event ever since, giving the community another avenue to express its creative side, Seib says.

“We welcome all community members to put together a fi ve or more member team, dig out their camera equipment and editing soft ware and come on out to take part in this exciting event!” she says.

It’s open to all ages and abilities. Past en-trants have ranged from students as young as

12 to retired Baby Boomers.Earl Marriott Secondary stu-

dent Sam Zelter has been enter-ing the contest since he was 13. His team, We Th e Youth (for-merly ‘Film Hogs’) has taken second place a few years in a row. Now in Grade 12, Zelter is hoping to get his name on the trophy’s top spot.

He’s challenged all other stu-dent and community fi lmmak-ers to enter a team.

Th e challenge weekend is Fri-day, Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. to Sunday,

Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Registration deadline is Oct. 14. (Registerby Oct. 3 to receive two free tickets to screenings). Cost toenter is $100 per team.

Prizes are awarded the fol-lowing weekend, on Oct. 26, at a Gala Filmmakers Recep-tion, where all the fi lms arescreened. Th e event is opento the public (tickets are lim-ited; look for advance sales).

Rules and registration forms are available at www.surreylittletheatre.com.

Teams wanted to tackle 50-hour fi lm challenge

Perennial entrant Sam Zelter is determined to win this year.

T Choosing your pet’s caregivers

Choosing a pet daycare or boarding facility or dog walker may seem like an easy task in today’s online, Google-is-just-a-click-away world. But leaving your pet at a business or with a pet walker can also be scary for many pet guardians, especially if the pet caretakers are complete unknowns.

If someone is going to be looking after your pet, due diligence is a must. Check out their qualifi cations or which courses they’ve taken, what certifi cation they have, and if they have had pet fi rst aid training. It’s also a good idea to search the business name online at the Better Business Bureau or similar sites, to see if there have been complaints and if so, how many there are and the nature of the complaints.

Asking questions about how the facility or person deals with behaviour management with the animals in their care is key, as well as how they introduce animals to each other, the number of animals in their care at any given time, and the animals’ sleeping arrangements, in the case of a daycare or boarding facility. Pet guardians should also be able to visit any pet-care related facility at any time, and know the routes taken by potential pet walkers.

While there is no national college for pet care facilities, there are recognizable qualifi cations you can look into and you can

also ask for references from past clients.

Questions to ask a potential pet caretaker include:

Can you visit all areas of the pet daycare or boarding facility?

What are the facility’s methods of training/behaviour management (i.e. rewarding good behaviour with praise or treats)?

What is the maximum number of animals the daycare or walker or boarding facility will take? What is the ratio of pets to caretakers?

Is there any certifi cation? What kind of training does staff have?

What happens if my pet gets injured? Or

if my pet injures another pet or human?

How much time off leash will my pet get?

How much exercise?

With group play, how are pets introduced?

Is the facility or pet walker willing to provide references?
