Campaigns ready to roll
Model city
By Jennifer Lang The writ doesn’t drop until Tuesday, but the 2013 provincial election race has already begun in earnest in Surrey-Cloverdale, where both the Liberal and NDP candidates opened their campaign offices last weekend. B.C. Liberal candidate Stephanie Cadieux welcomed supporters April 6 to her campaign headquarters at #101-5658 176 Street in the historic town centre. The following day, two federal NDP MPs – Jinny Sims (Newton-North Delta,) and Jasbir Sandhu (SurreyNorth) were on hand to help provincial Surrey-Cloverdale NDP hopeful Harry Kooner open his campaign office at #101-17700 Hwy 10 in Clover Square Village. Cadieux, who served as minister for Children and Family Development, is currently MLA for SurreyPanorama, where she was elected in 2009. She’s running in Surrey-Cloverdale, her home for 11 years.

For more on their project, turn to page 5.
Stephanie Cadieux, Liberal, and Harry Kooner, NDP, are running in Surrey-Cloverdale.
Kooner works in legal services with the City of Surrey and has lived in Surrey-Cloverdale for nearly 20 years. Both are vying for a seat that’s been held since 2001 by Liberal Kevin Falcon, who isn’t running again. The Green Party of B.C., B.C. Conservative Party and others have not yet announced candidates for the riding. On Sunday, Premier Christy Clark makes an appeal directly to voters on Global TV. The 28-day campaign period begins Tuesday and the election is May 14.
Freemasonry: the secret’s out Cloverdale Lodge, other orders in the Masonic fraternity, set to reveal all By Jennifer Lang Despite what you’ve seen depicted in popular culture involving strange symbols, mysterious rituals, and men clothed in curious regalia, the Freemasons are not a secret organization, says Guy Olsson, a member of the Cloverdale Masonic Lodge, which has been around for more than 50 years. A better word than secret might be “private,” says Olsson, a past Grand Master who suspects the Masonic tendency towards discretion may the source of many of the misconceptions that persist about Freemasons. But secret, they are not.
“Otherwise we would not have websites, be listed in phone books, or have buildings with emblems proudly displayed on the front,” reasons Olsson, who is a lively ambassador for the Craft, and is master of ceremonies at the upcoming open house on April 16 called Freemasonry Explained. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend to find out more about Freemasons and the other Masonic orders. It’s billed as an evening of explanation and discovery – everything you’ve always wanted to know about Freemasonry but didn’t know who, or how, to ask.

“We will answer any and all questions,” Olsson says. “We will definitely, pretty much lay the cards on the table.” As if to prove it, he offers up the following: “Always remember, to be one, you must ask one,” he intones, somewhat cryptically, before adding: “That’s it. No one will ever ask you to join.” Don’t know any Freemasons personally? Simply visit the Cloverdale Lodge’s website, www.cloverdalemasons.com. There are more details about how to join there. Olsson, possibly on a roll, reveals another Masonic secret. See RECIPE / Page 3
