End of an eraBy Dan FergusonChuck Keeling is the third generation

of the family that founded the harness racing track in Cloverdale that is now known as Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino.

And he will likely be the last to work there.

� e owners of Fraser Downs, the Great Canadian Gaming Corpo-ration, announced July 29 that Keeling has chosen to resign his position as vice-president of racing opera-tions and general manager at 17755 60 Avenue.

It’s a friendly departure, with company spokesman Howard Blank saying the company wishes Keeling well.

He will stay on till Oct. 1, then begin a new career.

Keeling won’t disclose too much about his new path, except to say he is going into partnership with an entre-preneur he’s known for a long time, and it will involve commuting to Vancouver.

“It is something totally unrelated to gaming and horse racing and anything I’ve ever done,” Keeling said.

At 38, the married father of one said he wants to try something di� erent while he is still young.

It is a big change for a man who started working at the track when he was eight.

“� is was a di� cult decision,” he said.He has no plans to leave the commu-

nity.“I’m a Surrey guy at heart,” Keeling

said. “My roots are in Cloverdale. � at’s not going to go away.”

His grandfather, Jim Keeling Sr., brought mod-ern harness racing to Clo-verdale in 1976.

� e elder Keeling and his partners also opened Sandown Raceway near Victoria.

In the early 1990s Jim Sr. turned over the reins to his son Jim Jr.

When Jim Jr. died sud-denly, his son Chuck took over.

In 1996, what was known as the Cloverdale Raceway underwent reno-

vations and was renamed Fraser Downs. � e casino opened in 2004.

In 2009, Chuck Keeling was named Business Person of the Year by the Surrey Board of Trade.

By Hannah Sutherland� e BC SPCA’s Surrey

branch is just one of 10 shelters that has been

forced to turn away and create waiting lists for owners surrendering cats and kittens.

“We are absolutely chockablock full,” Sur-rey branch manager Valerie Sigler said. “We have over 100 kittens right now.”

While Sigler said the

branch would never turn away an owner in a real bind, sta� are having to explore other housing alternatives – such as � nding new homes privately – be-fore taking in additional cats and kittens.

“We are full, full, full to capacity,” she said,

noting owners are also being put on a waiting list until space becomes available.

Surrey isn’t the only SPCA location faced with the problem.

Shelters in Vancouver, Burnaby, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Daw-son Creek, Kamloops, Prince Rupert, Wil-liams Lake and Quesnel are also struggling to handle the number of cats and kittens that are coming in.

“We’re doing our best but we’re absolutely over capacity right now,” said Ryan Voutilainen, man-ager of the BC SCPA’s Vancouver branch.

“� e welfare of the cats and kittens we al-ready have in our care is

our � rst priority, so un-fortunately at this time, we can’t accommodate cats who are being sur-rendered.”

� e non-pro� t soci-ety currently has 3,100 cats and kittens in its

network of shelters and foster homes.

“Now is the height of kitten season, which is our busiest time of year,” said Mark Takhar, BC SPCA assistant general manager of operations.

“We’re asking people tobe patient until spacebecomes available.”

Takhar said most owners are understand-ing when told that manyshelters are not accept-ing surrendered cats.

As much as it’s a busytime of year for SPCAsta� , Takhar said it’s agood opportunity foranimal lovers to adopt acat or kitten.

“We have cats andkittens of every colour,size, age, breed and per-sonality.”

SPCA adoption feesvary by region, but allinclude spay/neuter andvaccinations.

A Good Harvest“You reap what you sow.” We’ve all heard the old adage, often as a warning, but it’s a positive truth, too. As I’ve enjoyed fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries all summer, I’ve appreciated being able to enjoy the benefits of what others sowed months ago!

The Bible has a lot to say about sowing and reaping. Galatians 6 gives both a warning and an encouragement: “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up” (verses 7-9). What we do has eternal consequences; the way we live our life matters!

Of course, it’s not always easy to make the right choices. That’s why Galatians talks about sowing “to the Spirit.” Only the Holy Spirit can produce lasting fruit from what someone sows. How? Through His Word, the Bible, and through the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Through these means, the Holy Spirit causes a rich harvest of fruit in our lives, all of which are possible only through Jesus Christ, the Righteous One: a harvest of “love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control” (Galatians 5:22-23).

We invite you to join us for our weekly services, with the prayer that “your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:9-11).

An active life is child’s play for local ladBy Lorene KeitchTanner Jung is pretty typi-

cal as far as 10-year old boys go. He loves to swim and go tubing behind his parent’s boat. He enjoys biking and playing basketball. He loves all animals (except cats), likes camping and Saturday morning cartoons. He’s not a fan of school and his fa-vourite band is AC/DC.

He’s chatty on a summer morning when a reporter comes to visit. He talks about the family’s recent camping trip, the way the tube whips behind their boat, the pond he and his dad built together and the antics of his dog Walker.

But there is something more to this young Clover-dale resident, something he does not allow to de� ne him but is certainly a part of who he is today.

Tanner was born with one leg shorter than other due to a condition called Proximal Femoral Focal De� ciency, or PFFD. It a� ects Tan-ner’s femur and hip socket; he started life with one leg shorter and it only got worse as he grew.

As mom Nadene Jung ex-plains it, “At some point that hip just stops developing.

So as Tanner was growing, he was losing length on that leg.”

Tanner has gone through a series of surgeries to help him with this problem, be-ginning when he was four years old.

Doctors turned his right leg 180 degrees around and operated on his hip two times to help with the rota-tion. He’s also had a series of more minor surgeries and may require a few more.

“� e whole concept of the rotation is his ankle is now his knee. When he puts the prosthetic on, that’s his new knee,” Nadene describes. “His foot gives him the leverage for movement.”

Tanner doesn’t complain when asked how the pros-thetic is to use. Nadene � lls in the blanks: “It’s heavy, it’s sweaty, but he does very well in it.”

Tanner pipes up that it’s much lighter than his last prosthetic, weighing ap-proximately � ve pounds in-stead of the previous 10.

His latest surgery was in November, 2009 and just last month he was able to once again get out of his wheel-chair and back on his feet. Tanner doesn’t talk about

the time in the wheelchair. His mom says he doesn’t let a lot of things get him down, though being in a wheelchair for so long this last year was de� nitely a challenge.

“He’s got a very positive attitude,” Nadene a� rms.

� e Jung family has only encountered two other people with the exact con-dition Tanner has. One was a young man they met a� er they found out Tanner had PFFD. Another is a younger girl who coincidentally lives in Cloverdale as well.

“She’s two years younger and we met her online,” Na-dene says. “It turns out she lives just down the hill from us.”

� e Jungs helped the little girl’s family connect with the War Amps, a charity that has proved invaluable to Tanner.

� e War Amps have bought implements to help Tanner be mobile, including wheelchair, walkers, crutches – they even bought Tanner a special bike as he can’t use a regular one. It works like an elliptical machine, and looks almost like a 10 year old kid’s bike should look.

Every year Tanner gets to attend a seminar where all

the children connected to War Amps come together.

“It’s a real weekend just for them,” says Nadene. It helps Tanner to not feel so di� er-ent from other kids.

� e organization also pro-vides helpful information such as telling Tanner to not hop on one leg as that can damage his good leg.

For his part, Tanner is happy to help promote this charitable organization. He has been in a number of War Amps promotional cam-paigns and most recently was a safety ambassador on the War Amps � oat at this year’s Cloverdale Rodeo Pa-rade.

Tanner will be entering Grade 5 this fall. He goes to a smaller school outside of his catchment area as they felt it would be easier on Tanner. He does not get picked on, but does get a lot of stares when he goes to the local pool and takes his leg o� for a swim.

When asked if there is anything Tanner would like to tell people, he simply asks to be treated the same as any-one else and moves quickly on to talking about some-thing else – just like any 10-year old boy is prone to do.LORENE KEITCH/BLACK PRESS

BURNING BAN� e City of Surrey has prohibited

all types of outdoor � res until fur-ther notice, including cancelling all burning permits. Charcoal barbe-cues in city parks and beaches are also prohibited, but cooking appli-ances such as propane barbecues are allowed.

Hot temperatures and dry weather has resulted in hazardous fire conditions throughout the region. For more information,

visit www.bcwild� re.ca.

STOPPING IN SURREY� e Finance Committee of the

House of Commons has agreed to visit Surrey this fall as part of its cross-country hear-ings in support of the next federal budget.

“I’m very pleased that my colleagues recognized and agreed to the importance of

holding hearings in our fast-grow-ing community on the West Coast,” said Conservative South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert.

� e Finance Committee will hold hearings during the last week of

September in Surrey. Groups or individu-

als who would like to make a presentation to the Finance Commit-tee are asked to contact the Clerk, Jean-François

Pagé, at 6-14 131 Queen Street, Ottawa K1A 0A6 or by e-mail at [email protected], before August 13.

MCHAPPY TALLYMore than $38,000 was raised

for the Surrey Memorial Hospital through McDonald’s McHappy Day fundraising drive.

Surrey Memorial Hospital’s cur-rent ER – the busiest in B.C. – was designed to handle about 44,000 visits a year but instead saw more

than 87,000 patients in 2009. Of those, 20 per cent were children.

� e funds raised will go towards the Surrey Memorial Hosptial Foundation’s Emergency Centre Campaign, speci� cally to pediatric emergency care.

� e new Emergency Centre is designed to include a separate chil-dren’s ER, a separate mental health and addictions section, an enhanced minor treatment unit, and an im-proved area for acute patients.

News in brief


Miloh is on the mendBy Jim � ompsonRecently the Clover-

dale Reporter had a news article on a house � re in which eight of nine show cats were lost. � e sole survivor was Miloh (a red mackerel tabby).

� e � remen acted fast when they discov-ered him and gave him oxygen at the scene as well as irrigated his feet which had blistered from the heat of the � re. Since then, many people have asked us how Miloh did a� er the trauma. � e answer is he is doing � ne.

Miloh was admit-ted to our hospital with � rst and second-degree burns to his feet (melted plastic in between his toes), singed whiskers and eyebrows, as well as ear tips burnt in places.

He su� ered from smoke inhalation and was placed in our oxygen kennel to help remove the carbon monoxide which would have built up in his lungs as a re-sult of the � re.

Pain medication was administered immedi-ately along with intrave-nous � uids, and respira-tory medicine.

His eyes were washed out to clear the soot. Vitals were checked and showed he was stable, which allowed us to transfer him to the Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Val-ley (AECFV) in order to continue receiving oxy-gen overnight to help rid him of the carbon monoxide poisoning.

At the AECFV he was monitored for the eve-ning, and maintained on pain meds as well as antibiotics. Sugar-honey

bandages were applied to his feet to help start the healing process of the burnt pads and his vitals were checked pe-riodically.

Back at our hospital the next day we began to clean him up with bathing and shaving, as well as removing damaged or dead skin. Blood tests of his organ functions were showing e� ects of the trauma on his liver. His appetite was gone and we had to have his “Mom” come in to coax him to eat. We checked his heart with other blood tests and were happy that he had no lingering damage to

that muscle.� e next three weeks

were continuous daily foot baths, medications and re-checks to help in recovery. Monitoring temperatures revealed he developed a fever and so X-rays were nec-essary to rule out lung damage. Miloh contin-ued to improve with lots of attention.

Daily visits from his “Mom and Dad” helped both parties. � ey told us that two of their other cats, Merlin and Vashon, had placed in the � nals in a regional cat show and they were to receive awards later in July.

However, their hearts were not in the frame of

celebrating the successof their other kitties.

We continued to talkand came to the conclu-sion that Miloh shouldgo to the TICA regionalaward ceremony and re-ceive the awards for hispartners. Shirley andJe� agreed.

On July 24, Milohreceived the TICA Regional � ird BestHouseHold Pet Awardon behalf of “MajesticMerlin” and the TICARegional Best of BreedAward (Turkish Van)on behalf of “Van CityVashon.”

To the editor;Re: � e war’s over, but

con� ict lingers, July 2Tom Fletcher’s column

reminds us peace may yet emerge in that part of the world. But his analysis falls short.

Seemingly contradic-tory, the majority of South Koreans do not perceive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il as an “erratic, nuclear-armed madman.” Instead, Kim is admired as a strong person who stands up for his country.

No small measure of that attitude can be traced back to the 1905 Russo-Japanese War, where U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt pressured the combatants to sign a deal that gave Korea to Japan and solidified American control of the Philip-pines.

This sacrifice of Korean freedom – later punctu-

ated by the failure of the 1919 Versailles confer-ence to extend indepen-dence to all nations – is a point well-learnt by the Korean people: it is dan-gerous to allow others to decide your fate.

This is not to say the contributions made by the UN during the Kore-an War and the later mas-sive infusions of U.S. eco-nomic aid to South Korea are disavowed. Koreans, then as now, appreciated the help.

The present genera-tion of South Koreans are more likely to emphasize blood ties and culture rather than ideological-

ly-driven armed retalia-tion whenever faced with North Korean provoca-tion.

Of course, after 65 years the notion that the North and South retain the same society is fanci-ful.

More sobering, sudden reunification could cost Seoul up to $3.5 trillion, which is enough to con-vince most southerners that gradual and func-tional co-operation is the most prudent strategy.

Still, Koreans strive to be once-again a proud, unified country informed by peace and prosper-ity, yet cautiously aware of the super powers that surround it, namely Chi-na, Russia, and Japan.

Communism or capi-talism does not change that geopolitical fact.

Hillcrest Crossing18630 Fraser Hwy.Surrey(604) 575-5780


By Hannah Suther-land

Surrey city sta� have recommended an alter-native site be found for a compost plant proposed for a farm property lo-cated south of Clover-dale.

But council rejected the suggestion, instead deciding to await a rul-ing from the Agricultur-al Land Commission.

� e proposal – a commercial compost-ing facility located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, at 17690 and 17720 12 Ave. – is cur-rently before the ALC, as the developer wants to use the lots for a non-farm use.

Pilot Grove Farms in-tends to sell the major-ity (95 per cent) of the compost produced at

the plant o� site, which exceeds the amount al-lowed within the ALR.

“� e Agricultural Land Commission has deferred a decision on the non-farm use ap-plication pending a re-view by their executive committee of the wider implications of this proposal and potential future policies,” states a sta� report.

Coun. Judy Ville-neuve said that an ALC report is expected by September.

Sta� ’s reasons for rec-ommending an alterna-tive site were outlined in the city report, and included a peer review that found the proposed location is uncommon for a large-scale com-post facility.

While such plants are typically situated in

close proximity to other industrial activities, the South Surrey proposal is close to a protected � sh habitat watercourse, a water well and private residences, and has a high water table.

“Preliminary indica-tions are that other more suitable sites could be explored, where poten-tial impacts would be minimized,” the report states.

� e plant is intended to compost green waste, food waste and agricul-tural waste into “Class A” compost, and would produce up to 20,000 tonnes of compost an-nually.

Pilot Grove Farms has argued the com-post would bene� t soils of the area, and the site itself addresses Metro Vancouver’s commit-

ment to divert 70 per cent of land� ll waste by 2015.

It has engaged a con-sultant to ensure any creek and environmen-tal concerns are ad-dressed, according to the report.

Pilot Grove submit-ted a petition to the city with more than 1,000 signatures of support.

Opponents – who have expressed concerns about odour, noise, traf-� c, impact on land val-ues and environmental impacts on groundwa-ter, � sh habitat and air quality – have submit-ted their own petition, signed by 934 people.

Letters, emails and phone calls from neigh-bouring property own-ers, as well as a letter from 18 local business owners and commu-

nity representatives, opposing the proposalhave also been receivedby the city, the reportstates.

According to the re-port, � ndings from aconsultant retained byPilot Grove indicate the proposal should bee� ective in managingodour, dust, vectors,leachate and other nui-sance conditions, basedon current acceptableindustry practices for afacility of its size.

“� e report does not,however, comment onhow much nuisanceimpacts could be fur-ther reduced if a moreappropriate site wereselected, closer to otherindustrial activity, awayfrom a protected water-course, water well andprivate residences.”

FIND WATER IN A JIFFYIf you’re thirsty, you may want to check your

iPhone.Metro Vancouver is preparing to launch an app

that � nds locations of drinking water fountains throughout the region.

A web database is to provide the same informa-tion to other mobile phones like Blackberrys and Androids.

Metro o� cials also intend to include locations of restaurants and hotels willing to make tap water available to the public.

Managers say the water fountain iPhone app is one of Metro’s strategies to try to reduce bottled wa-ter use 20 per cent by this year.

Metro Vancouver also opted to spend $200,000 recently on two water wagons to distribute drinking water at major public events.

AQUARIUM BUS DISCOUNTVisitors to the Vancouver Aquarium are being of-

fered a $2 discount on admission if they can show a pass or ticket to prove they got there by public transit.

It’s the latest partnership TransLink has struck that follows the success of building unlimited tran-sit access into 2010 Olympic ticket prices.

� e idea is expected to reduce pressure on the aquarium parking lot and foster greener travel while boosting both aquarium visits and transit use.

Q Some folks from Vancouver have made an offer on my house but my realtor tells me that it is not considered sold yet and that I shouldn’t tell anyone the price that we’ve accepted. We are very happy with the price and don’t mind sharing this information with our friends. Why should we wait to tell anyone?

My recommendation would be not to tell your friends and neighbours anything until the there is a sold sticker on the sign in front of your house. Often information that is passed along becomes distorted and some serious damage could be done. I have seen a situation where a contract did not become fi rm, but a buyer many miles away heard that the house was sold. The buyer was interested but had the wrong information, and therefore a potential sale was lost. Also, if the price is known to others and the contract fails, then the next offer will certainly not be any higher than the one previously negotiated.

The best policy is to listen to your realtor and do not say anything until your home has really been sold.

Q

GRANT McMASTER, CGA

I operate a small business as a sole proprietorship. Should I consider incorporating?

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether or not to incorporate. Indi-viduals often consider incorporating in order to minimize legal liability and taxes. This column will focus on some of the basic tax advantages. If your corporation operates an “active” busi-ness there may be opportunities to signifi cantly reduce taxes payable, since the marginal tax rate on the fi rst $500,000 of active business income is currently taxed only at about 14% in BC, while the highest marginal tax rate for individuals is almost 44%. If you are able to leave the income in the corporation (i.e. you do not need it to fund your personal expenditures), or if you are able to split the income with your adult family members, you may be able to take advantage of signifi cant tax deferrals and/or tax savings.For additional analysis with respect to your par-ticular situation, please contact myself or your personal tax advisor.

Q Should I have my Air Conditioning Serviced Yearlyeven if I don’t use it all the time?

Most vehicle owners never bother to think of their air conditioning until they reach over to turn their vehicle’s air conditioning on that hot summer day.

You should have your vehicle air conditioning serviced as per the factory recommended schedules or at least once a year before the summer months.

It’s not a good idea to let the A/C system in your vehicle sit for long periods of time in most cases you should be using it all year long. The air conditioning system runs on a gas (r134a) and together with refrigerant oil they work at lubricating parts within the system. When the a/c system sits unused for long periods of time you have the potential to developleaks, have the systemdry out and becomeinoperable.

What are some specifi c examples of UV changes in the eye?

Our sun sends out powerful ultra-violet (UV) radiation that can induce changes to the skin around the eye, changes to the front surface of the eye, changes to the lens and, fi nally, changes to the rear of the eye called the retina. - Longterm UV exposure to the skin around the eye can

lead to cancerous changes. - Longterm UV exposure to the front surface can cause

unsightly bumps and growths. - Longterm UV exposure to the lens can result in earlier

cataract formation than normal. - Longterm UV exposure to the retina can lead to develop

ment of macular degeneration.

For these reasons, EVERYONE should wear UV protective eyewear; either with a UV400 coating in your glasses, or with good sunglasses, or while wearing UV blocking contact lenses.

The skills that are most valued by employers today are what we call the “soft skills” meaning self management and interpersonal skills. The ability to adapt to change, handle “on the job” stresses and conflict are important in a highly competitive and service oriented economy. Most workers who lose their jobs, usually lose their jobs because of resistance to change, poor attitude and lack of interpersonal skills. To learn more about change management, stress management and conflict resolution, we offer half day workshops as partof our 3 week full time career planning program.If you have any questions regarding our services, please give us a call.

Q I heard that certain nutrients are being depleted if I take cholesterol-lowering drugs. What should I do?

The group of cholesterol lowering agents called “Statins” (e.g. Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol, Zocor) can potentially lower the intracellular concentration of Co-enzyme Q-10, which is an essential factor in the production of energy (& life) by the mitochondria (the power house of the cell). This is important especially for the heart, the liver, the brain, muscles and the kidney. Muscle pains and even myopathy are known complications of Statin therapy. Co-Q-10 is also essential for cholesterol metabolism. Vitaline makes a Co-Q-10 chewable tablet that is fat soluble and proven well absorbed. It is marketed under the Enzymatic Therapy Brand name. 100 mg a day is recommended for people taking statin drugs.

Q How often should I change the engine oil in my vehicle?

Changing your engine’s oil and filter should be done at specified intervals.

Most vehicles follow the rule of thumb: 5000 km or 4 months, whichever comes first. Some vehicles may vary depending on driving habits and conditions – consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

Oil is the life blood of your vehicle’s engine.

Without clean oil your engine can wear more rapidly and by not maintaining oil to the appropriate level can be destructive to the engine.

Have your oil checked regularly and changed at the designatedintervals.

Can using a computer damage my eyes?

No, there is no emitting radiation from the computer monitor that can damage ocular tissues. However, using a computer for prolonged periods can lead to computer vision syndrome (CVS). Symptoms of CVS include frontal headaches, eye strain, inability to focus properly, dry eye symptoms and general fatigue. Solutions to relieve CVS are in the placement of the monitor, computer anti-fatigue eyeglasses, and periodic breaks from viewing. As back to school approaches, remember that children can also suffer from CVS, not just adults.

AQ What additional cost will HST add to a home

I purchase in Cloverdale?

The HST tax only applies to brand new homes and does not apply to previously owned homes. If you are buying under $550,000 there is not a huge additional cost as the rebates reimburse you for most of it. If you are buying a home up to $650,000 the cost is still minimal at about $2000. Any home priced higher than $750,000 will have an additional cost of over $6000. Most of the homes in Cloverdale fall under $750,000 and our inventory is very good right now. There are some good web sites to go to for more in depth information on the HST tax.

Change your life today

by Black PressA downturn in the economy usually means fewer jobs.It can also lead to more students attending post-secondary

institutions, putting off entering the job market so they can upgrade their skills and training.

“We have seen an increase over the last couple of years,” said Kathleen Bigsby, director of Institutional Analysis and Planning at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “We think there’s a link to the labour market, but we don’t know for sure.”

Fall enrollment at Kwantlen rose 10 per cent – or about 1,200 students – from 2008 to 2009. Numbers in the spring also rose, by approximately 3.5 per cent.

“We’re all in the three to five per cent range,” said Bigsby of the increases at post-secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland. “It’s one of the reasons we think it’s the labour market. It’s not just a few institutions, it all of them.”

Jeremy Sabell, executive director of Stenberg College, said enrollment at the Surrey school is up”15 to 20 per cent” to roughly 450 students.

“It’s been up since the downturn in the economy,” he said. “And we see the effects when we hire. There’s strong candidates for jobs that wouldn’t usually draw those applications.”

Norbert Ruimy, director of the Surrey campus of Sprott Shaw Community College says when there’s a downturn in the economy, his institution usually witnesses a rise in enrolment.

“We see a lot of students coming back to take refresher classes – we have free lifetime upgrading – and we notice when the economy starts to turn, students always come back for retraining,” said Ruimy.

“We also have a lot of students that took a program with us, and for some reason did not complete it ... maybe they found a job and worked with a job for five years, and all of a sudden they’re laid off and now they feel they need their diploma.”

Still other students, he says, are looking for greater job security in uncertain economic times.

“We find a lot of people are fed up with this roller-coaster ride so they want to get into a career that is basically recession-proof.”

Ruimy said while student numbers during a slumping economy appear to increase in all areas of studies, including business programs, nursing and early child education, interest in medical fields has risen significantly at Sprott Shaw.

Sabell noted some programs that have strong job prospects for graduates can accommodate more students.

“Enrollment in our Residential Care

Attendant program has fallen off, and we’re not sure why,” he said. “And there’s a ton of opportunities out there in that area.

“And there’s a huge need in our Community Support and outreach Worker (mental health) program. And not as many people in that field as you might think.”

7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival

On behalf of Surrey City Council, I want to wel-come you to the 7th

Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Fes-tival! � is event is a great oppor-tunity for us all to celebrate our vibrant agricultural community.

Blueberries are one of my fa-vourite berries. With numerous health bene� ts, they taste great and are great for you. I hope this festival will help you to discover the many innovative ways you can enjoy the bene� ts of blueberries.

Surrey has a strong agricultural heritage and we value the richness of our farming commu-nity. With one third of our land base being protected agri-cultural land this thriving festival speaks to the diversity of products being produced locally in our city.

� ank you for supporting this year’s festival, I hope you enjoy the many fresh foods, activities and displays. My thanks go out to all the volunteers and organizers of this event, with special thanks to the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce for making this yearly event such a success.

Sincerely,Dianne L. Watts

Mayor

Welcome to the 7th Annual Cloverdale Blue-berry Festival! Please enjoy your visit, we have compiled a list of activities and their times so

that you can see as much of the festival as possible.� e event continues to grow and we are very thankful

for all of the sponsors and participants who have helped with this year’s festival.

On behalf of the business community of Cloverdale, the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce would like to make your visit memorable and wish you many happy returns!

Lyle MacMillan, Cloverdale BIA presidentand Brian Young, Cloverdale

Chamber of Commerce president

Why do we love the blueberry so?Of course, we all know about its health

bene� ts. Researchers call them a “superfruit.” With their high antioxidant levels they have been proven to slow down aging and reduce cell damage. they contain condensed tannins which means they help provent urinary tract infections and have a natural compound linked to re-ducing eyestrain.

So mabye we love blueberries for their health bene� ts. Or maybe it’s because of their versatility. they can be eaten fresh or frozen. Boiled, mashed, pureed and baked. Put into pies, cakes, squares, crumbles, cobblers, salads, breads, jams, jellies and syrups. � ey go on top of pancakes, wa� es, ice cream, even meat dishes. � ey’re the � rst to be picked o� the party fruit tray and the favouirte of kids and adults alike.

But most likely, we love them becauase of their taste. � e blueberry is easy to eat and refreshingly simple. Just wash and you’ve got yourself an instant edible delight.

It really is an incredible food. SO it goes to follow that one of the best little communities in Canada would pay tribute to this fruit with an annual Blueberry Festival.

We are excited to bring you a full listing of events and some of the festival highlights wihtin these pages. Be sure to check out the businesses who have made this supple-ment and this festival possible, and odn’t forget to thank your local BIA and Chamber representatives for putting this amazing event together.

� ese pages have all you need to know to make your Blueberry Festival experience memorable. Pack up the kids, bring an empty belly and come one, come all, to the 7th Annual Blueberry Festival!

The Cloverdale Blueberry Festival just might be the ultimate community event.It celebrates the abundance of locally-grown berries with food and festivities

– all while while capitalizing on a bounty of local events that demonstrate Clover-dale’s irrepressible community spirit.

Along with blueberries galore, the mid-August celebration features a classic car show and pie eating contests, an arts festival, BMX demonstrations, live music and more.

“It’s driven by volunteers,” says Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Busi-ness Improvement Association.

� e BIA partners with the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, along a host of other lo-cal organizations and volunteers, to put on the blueberry festival.

“� is is the epitome of a community event. We bring in as many groups as possible to do their events,” Orazietti says.

Clubs include the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6, which hosts a blueberry pan-cake breakfast and barbecue, the Cloverdale Rotary Club, which also hosts a bar-becue, as well as the Lions Club, local soccer teams, and even local Beavers and Scouts.

� e 7th Annual Cloverdale Blueberry Festival Aug. 14 to 15 promises to be bigger and better this year, with new events like the antique tractor pull at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, where pre-1960 tractors will compete over the course of two days.

� e pull area starts at the west end of the grand-stand and � nishing close to the winners’ circle. � e two-day Blueberry Antique Tractor Pull also fea-tures a barbecue and live music.

� is year’s festivities also feature returning fa-vourites, like the Family Zone at Clover Square Village Mall, where all sorts of activities are going on all day long on the festival’s main day, Saturday Aug. 14.

Along with BMX stunt shows, blueberry pancake breakfast and a barbecue (hosted by the Cloverdale Lions Club), there are pie eating contests, square dancing and even a talent showcase. Local country vocalist Danica Danielsen, a rising star, is among the performers lined up for the event.

Other Family Zone attractions include a fun zone for the kids, an antique tractor display and Cinemazoo – an animal agency, which is among the exhibitors who will be setting up displays and booths in the Family Zone. Face painting, balloons and blueberry tattoos are also part of the activities planned for kids.

Also on Saturday is the 5th annual Blueberry Art Festival, taking place across Highway 10 at Surrey Museum Plaza. � e festival includes a juried artwalk and a cra� fair. Some of Surrey’s most talented artists will be showing and selling their work.

� ere’s also going to be an entertainment stage featuring programming lined up by the Arts Council of Surrey.

Blueberry sellers and other vendors will be on hand, including the United Church. � e vendor market is located at 176 Street and 56A Avenue.

Of course, the main event is the Surrey Show N’ Shine, a car show modeled a� er the Langley Cruise In.

Muscle cars, vintage trucks, antique autos and lovingly-restored classics – from hot rods to motorcycles – will be taking over several streets in historic

downtown Cloverdale.Entrants’ vehicles will be organized according to category, in dif-ferent sections along 176 and 176A streets.

SPEED Channel’s Brett “� e Big Schwag” Wagner – an alumnus of TV’s Monster Garage – is once again perform-

ing MC duties at the event, running 9 a.m. to to 3 p.m., with awards given out between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

� ere’ll be live entertainment featuring classic rock at Hawthorne Square.

Formerly known as the Paci� c Highway Show & Shine, the event has been re-branded with the Sur-rey stamp.

� e organizers, who also work on the massive Langley Cruise In – taking a hiatus this year – want it

to become Surrey’s signature car event.Also new this year is Cruise to the Beach, organized by

the Coasters Car Club. A� er the Show N’ Shine’s awards presentations wrap up at about 5 p.m, participating driv-ers will climb into their vintage vehicles and head south to White Rock, where they’ll rally at Semiahmoo Park at East Beach on Marine Drive.

Don’t miss the fresh-baked blueberry pieWhat blueberry festival would be complete

without a fresh piece of blueberry pie? � anks to the Cloverdale United Church,

you can eat a little slice of heaven while at this year’s festival.

� e United Church has been run-ning the pie booth for the last

three or four years, � gures pie booth co-ordinator

May Taylor. � e pies sell like . . . well,

like fresh blue-berry pie should

sell at a blue-berry festival.

Last year, the United C h u r c h volunteers made and sold more

than 100.T a y l o r

laughs when asked if they

use a top secret recipe.“Yes it is,” she

says. “But if you buy our cookbook while

you’re there, the blueberry pie recipe is inside!”

It takes a lot of blueberries to feed a festival. � e pie bakers gather a

whopping 100 pounds of blueberries. Taylor says they get some berries donated, they pick some and they pay for some.

� e sheer number of volunteers to co-ordinate the booth is impressive. � ey have roughly 15 bakers who

make the pies. � ey need people to set up booths, man the cashier, run back and forth to the church for more pies, as well as serv-ers and cleaners. In total, Taylor � gures it takes 40 or 50 people to make the pie sale operation run smoothly.

For a small church of roughly 100 families, that’s a lot of work. So why does the United Church sign on every year to help make this festival even more deli-cious?

“We noticed one year there was nowhere you could go buy a pie and eat it,” Taylor recalls. “It’s a blueberry festi-val, so why not come and enjoy a piece of pie?”

Church members started talking about it and decided this would be a great opportunity for them. Not only do they satisfy people with a freshly baked piece of pie, contribute to making the festival better and do a bit of fundraising for church activities, they also get a chance to meet lots of people in the com-munity. Taylor says it’s always a great social time. And it has become one of the must-have moments of the an-nual festival for any avid festival-goer.

“� e people come looking for us now,” Taylor shares. � is year, they will again be set up somewhere in the vicinity of the Surrey Museum. Just follow the crowds and you’ll � nd the pies.

For fun, for prize, come eat a whole pieIt just wouldn’t be a food-

themed festival without a pie eat-ing contest. And the annual Clo-verdale Blueberry Festival does not disappoint in this regard. Be sure to check out this entertaining event in downtown Cloverdale.

� e pie-eating contest is co-ordinated by Carolyn Orazietti, though she says for this event, she’s better known as ‘� e Pie Lady’.

“� e weirdest moments happen at the pie eating contest,” Orazietti states.

She has stories that range from a kid with a blueberry stuck so far up his nose – he was trying to pick it out with his � nger – to teenage girls that start the competition and then realize they don’t want to look like pigs so they only take a few dainty bites.

You get real “Christmas card material,” Orazietti says. � e im-ages are an “absolute riot,” with blueberry stained faces, bits of pie crust in hair, slimy goop every-where and contestants dressed in bright yellow City of Surrey gar-bage bags.

“It’s so much fun, and so popu-lar,” Orazietti exclaims.

And it’s something that people don’t tend to forget. Orazietti still remembers years ago, watching her cousin eat a blueberry pie in a pie eating contest.

� e contest is sponsored by IGA,

which donates pies for the contest as well as the winner’s prize of a blueberry pie and gi� certi� cate. Orazietti says it’s almost a shame to use such beautiful pies; they always look perfect and are made with fat and fresh BC blueberries. � ey look the peak of pie perfec-tion, and in an instant are horribly mangled as an entire face plunges into its gooey blue depths.

“It’s hilarious,” Orazietti says.

� e pie contest has been a staple of the Cloverdale Blueberry Festi-val since its inception seven years ago. And the pie contest’s legacy?

“So far, somebody’s thrown up every year,” Orazietti says with a laugh.

She recalls one year, she went up to one young contestant who still had a whole pile of pie in his pan. Orazietti told him he’d have to eat that if he wanted to try and

win the competition, and the au-dience all yelled “ewww!” � at’s when she found out the boy had just thrown up the pie back into the pie plate.

� e event typically runs with three sessions, 12 pies a time for a total of 36 contestants. � ey usually judge the event by time but one contestant seems to keep coming back and winning every year. So this time, organizers are

planning to run an adult and kid’s competition. Given the popularity of this contest, Orazietti recom-mends coming 30 minutes before the start of the competition if you want to take part.

Event Details:� e pie eating contest happens at the Clover Square Show Stage at 10:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. onSaturday, Aug. 14

� e mighty blueberryDebbie Etsell, acting executive director of the

BC Blueberry Council, just cannot say enough good things about the mighty blueberry.

� is small berry packs a powerful punch, and Etsell says the more research

done on this fruit, the more bene� ts it’s found

to have.“It’s one of the

healthiest fruits and it’s fun to eat,” Etsell says. “No peeling, no pitting and no slicing!”

Just wash and go, these

dark blue berries can be eaten raw

or in a bowl of ice cream. � ey go in pies,

smoothies, cakes, crepes, and on top of wa� es,

With the research proving its health bene� ts, this tiny berry is on the rise to becoming one of Canada’s most popular fruit choices. Etsell says while it should be labeled a health food, folks at the BC Blueberry Council like to call it nature’s candy because of its taste.

� e BC Blueberry Council’s mandate is to promote, research, provide industry relations and grower education.

� ere’s more than 650 hardworking blue-berry farmers working in B.C., all growing high bush blueberries. � e other type of blueberries grown in Canada are low bush berries and they

are primarily found on Canada’s east coast.B.C. grows 95 per cent of the high bush blue-

berries in all of Canada, and we’re the second largest growers of blueberries in the world next to Michigan.

Etsell reports 89 million pounds of blueber-ries come out of B.C. farms each year, making it a prime export product. Shipments go across Canada and into the continental North Ameri-can market.

“� e little growing B.C. blueberry farms are big business now,” Etsell states. “� e rest of the world is recognizing it too.”

Blueberry farms can be found right from Richmond through to Hope, with Abbotsford having a larger percentage of the farms. � is is a good growing zone because of our moderate tempertures and enough warm days to allow the berries to sweeten as they ripen. � e soil is also very adaptable.

Consumers are starting to pay attention to the blueberry’s bene� ts, and that is only going to bode well for B.C. farmers. � e BC Blueberry Council encourages people to help support B.C. farms and Etsell says events like the Blueberry Festival are a great way to pro-mote both the fruit and the farmer.

“People should look at buying lo-cally” Etsell says. “It’s good to get out there and support your local blueberry farmers.”

FILE PHOTONothing says summer like fresh fruit. Local farmers will be at the festival selling their goods.

B.C. one of the leading producers of blueberries world-wide

Berries are harvested two to four times usually every 10 to 14 days between July and September. Berries for the fresh market are hand-picked – one-by-one from the bush! Berries for the processed market are harvested us-ing self-propelled harvesters. More growers are moving towards machine picking because of the cost of labour relative to the price of blueberries.Blueberries are deciduous plants which lose their leaves. Fall leaf colour ranges from yellow to crimson to dark red. Leaf colour also changes in early spring and summer a� er periods of cool temperature to dull purple over dark green background.
