Preliminary construction work has begun on the new Clayton-area high school. With a capacity of 1,500, Clayton North Secondary is expecting to open in September 2018. The new and much-needed secondary school will have more open and flexible learning spaces in order to encourage collaboration. See page 3.

“We’re proud of our small-town feel,” says Hardy, who owns Clothesline Consignment (5685 176 Street). “I think because we’re all independently owned and the majority of us live in the neighbourhood. You know, people that shop at my store are my neighbours. I see them in the park when I’m walking the dog. I see them at the grocery store.”

Because of that community feeling, the association is hoping to make downtown Cloverdale more like other small

communities in the Lower Mainland such as Fort Langley, Steveston and Ladner.

Those communities, Hardy says, have been very successful at it.

“I think that’s, kind of, our goal as an association is just to make sure that there’s always something going on in the area that’s unique.”

Open design for Clayton high school Flexible design meant to support new curriculum and to promote collaboration among students and teachers

By Lauren Collins As reported a few weeks ago, work has begun on Clayton North Secondary School’s parking lot.

According to Doug Strachan, the Surrey Schools communication services manager, the capital project cost for the school - including design and construction - is $55,170,850.

Construction work, which began in the beginning of January is expected to finish in 2018.

Strachan added the district “anticipates occupancy for September 2018.”

The new secondary school’s capacity will be 1,500 students which is the projected need for the area when the school is completed.

There are ministry guidelines for the the sizes of schools, but incorporated into the plans, are areas where future additions could be made.

The projected capacity could change in the couple of years in takes to build a school. This could mean schools are at capacity after a few years or at capacity on opening.

Two examples of this are; Katzie Elementary, which opened in April 2014, and had five new portables added before the new school year in September 2015; and Hazelgrove Elementary which opened with portables already on the property.

Both of those schools, as well as Clayton North Secondary, are in the Clayton neighbourhood of Cloverdale which is one of Surrey’s fastest growing communities. Clayton is expected to see about 16,000 new residents in the next 30 years.

‘You can’t build yourself a buffer.’

- Doug Strachan, Surrey Schools communication services manager

Unfortunately, as Strachan told The Reporter, “You can’t build yourself a buffer.”

Strachan said there have been instances where additions were made to schools in the process of being designed and built, but those additions would need to be addressed in the early stages.

With and area of 13,685 m2, Clayton North Secondary will feature 10 “Learning Communities,” which are pods that feature several learning “studios,” breakout space, collaboration space and an “exploration lab.”

The Learning Communities are much larger than typical classrooms with walls that can move. The design is meant for more flexibility in learning.

The pods will be “more transparent, open spaces” with windows, said Strachan.

The school has MADD (Music, Art, Drama and Dance) studios, TED (Technology, Engineering and Design) labs, discovery labs, learning commons with Makerspaces, a multi-purpose gathering space and two gyms.

Makerspaces - while not a new idea - “provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering,” according to Edutopia.org.

Makerspaces are not just science labs, woodshops, computer labs or art rooms, but can contain elements from all of those including such as prototyping, woodworking, electronics, robotics, digital fabrication, textiles and sewing.

All of the labs and studios were designed to maximize space, so there would be more open spaces and collaboration.

North Clayton Secondary will be unique in the district with its incorporation of pods and labs and “open and efficient use of space to promote collaboration,” Strachan said.

This is all in support of the KMBR ARCHITECTS PLANNERS INC PHOTO new curriculum which is all about big ideas and exploring The learning commons (top photo) is like a library, but it’s also a more informal space with videos and electronics. The multi-purpose room (bottom photo) will be like the main hub-area of the school with a cafeteria and places to sit. those ideas.

Light Up Your Life Have you ever thought, “If only I was slimmer, handsomer, prettier, thinner, smarter, richer,” how much better life would be, and how that would solve all your problems?

Life is what it is. It is all how we look at it.

No, really.

No matter what you encounter in life, change the way you look at it.

If you were very poor and looked at life as an opportunity, looked at what you could achieve, and what you could accomplish, life would be always full of new growth and full of excitement and anticipation.

If you looked at life as a empty canvas, can you imagine what picture you can paint?

It all depends on you.

If you paint a bleak picture, that is what your life will be.

If you paint a picture full of wonder and amazement, you will find that no matter

what hurdle you encounter, you will always find a way around or through it.

No matter what life throws at you, you will forge toward your destination or your goal, and once you accomplish that, you will look forward to the next challenge.

You will encourage, and motivate others to move past their negative emotions.

You will know in your heart of hearts that no matter what happens in life, you can make a negative experience into a positive experience.

I have always been thankful for the things I have, not for the things I thought I wanted or didn’t have.

We are given the things we need in life. We are given the life tools. It is all what we do with them.

We create our own destiny. We are our destiny.

Take time to reach out to others; what we give, we get back.

Life emulates our actions.

There are so many people that are lost and without direction. They could be on the edge of the cliff.

If you reach out to them, you can give them purpose and a desire to reach out to others.

It may not seem like a big deal at the time, but believe me, it is like a ripple in the water.

It expands with great intensity.

Those that you touch, touch others, and so on and so on. . .

Tax hike gets early nod

Smile of the week

The city’s taxes are going up by almost $90 project.

Finance committee chair Tom Gill has consistently said he’s extremely reluctant to cut back on the city’s ambitious capital program.

Some of the projects in the works are a new North Surrey arena ($45 million), ice rinks in Cloverdale ($30 million), recreation and library facilities in Clayton ($40 million) and about $10 million for the next phase of the museum in Cloverdale.

Cost pressures on the city this year were significant.

It’s the first year Surrey will pay for a full year of newly hired RCMP officers. The cost for that alone will be $15 million.

On Feb. 10, Surrey council committed to hiring 16 more police officers this year, which will arrive in October.

In addition, Surrey is hiring four more bylaw officers and another senior position at the Surrey Fire Department.

The Surrey Board of Trade said it’s cautiously optimistic about the budget endorsed last week.

“As the independent voice of business we do request that the city reduce the new higher, property tax rate at the earliest possible opportunity to maintain Surrey’s competitive status for business attraction in the region,” the SBOT wrote in a letter to council.

Surrey council was expected to endorse the budget in full at its regular meeting on Feb. 22.

Residents most likely to follow right steps when investing

By Lauren Collins Surrey and Langley residents are among the most likely in the province to follow the right steps when working with an advisor for RRSPs. With the RRSP deadline next Monday (Feb. 29), the BC Securities Commission (BCSC) released a report about the province’s investors.

The commission is encouraging investors to make smarter decisions and learn more about the role they play when working with an investment advisor, according to a press release.

The study found that only 43 per cent of British Columbians 35 years and older have investments, but only 27 per cent of them invest through an investor.

“We’re encouraged to see how many investors acknowledge their responsibilities, but we need to bridge the gap between what people know they should do and what they actually do,” said Pamela McDonald, director, Communications and Education of the British Columbia Securities Commission.

By Kevin Diakiw Surrey’s taxes are going up by almost $90, as the city has given early endorsement to its five-year financial plan.

City councillors met as the finance committee Feb. 10 to discuss a budget for this year that calls for $88.30 in new taxes and levies.

As The Leader reported late last month, the city is planning a 3.9 per cent tax hike, which will be $70.28 for the average home worth $671,000.

In addition, Surrey is increasing a road levy by one per cent – an added $18.02 per average household – bringing the levy to $128 for next year.

The levy was introduced in 2007 as a temporary five-year measure. It has not only remained, but increased by one per cent annually since then.

The city has also endorsed a 3.9-per-cent increase in fees and charges, such as business licences, dog licences and recreation centre fees.

In Surrey’s last five-year financial plan, council aimed to hike property taxes by 2.9 per cent this year. The current plan bumps that up by one per cent.

Utilities, including garbage, sewer and water, will increase by $27.50 per home – half of which is a result of Metro Vancouver increases.

A $100 recreation and culture levy announced weeks after the election in 2014 will also remain in place this year.

However, council has chosen to rename it a capital levy, which will allow it to be used on any capital

SPCA seizure at Surrey facility

Together we grow...

Two ‘distressed’ cats euthanized following massive SPCA seizure at Surrey property

By Tracy Holmes Officials with Surrey SPCA say one cat and one kitten in “critical distress” had to be euthanized late Feb. 16 following a massive seizure of 82 animals from a breeding/boarding facility.

The pair were among 67 cats, 12 dogs and three puppies seized under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act during execution of a warrant Feb. 16 at a property near the Surrey/ Langley border.

Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BCSPCA said all of the animals were deemed in distress, a term that can describe everything from physical condition of the animals themselves to the conditions in which they are being looked after.

Moriarty told Peace Arch News that “bio-security issues” – the potential for spread of contagious diseases – were a concern in this case.

The pets are being held under a protective hold – the cats are at Surrey’s new seizure facility, the dogs are being held in Chilliwack – and cannot be viewed or adopted at this time.

The seized cats were primarily Persians and short-haired exotics; the dogs included four French bulldogs,

a Boston terrier, a Pomeranian with three puppies, a Chihuahua, a poodle, a Rottweiler, a Doberman, a Jack Russell terrier and a Shiba Inu. According to information online, the subject property – located in the 19400-block of Colebrook Road – is more than 100 acres; facility proponents advertise having 20 years’ experience in foster care and breeding, a large enclosed garden and 38 rooms.

Reached by PAN on Feb. 17, operator Ivy Zhou indicated only that she did not speak English.

“I don’t understand, sorry,” Zhou said.

The SPCA investigation is ongoing.

Moriarty said the seizure is “absolutely” among the society’s largest.

Other significant cases in recent months include the seizure on Feb. 4 of 66 animals from an alleged puppy mill in Langley.

In August, officers seized 57 animals – 35 dogs, 16 horses and six cats – from a South Cloverdale property following complaints of animal neglect. Moriarty said that case is among “a ton” of files still before the Crown and in which charges have been recommended by the SPCA. -Black Press

Looking to enhance the community

“We wanted to brand ourselves and because people are proud of their community, they want to buy a t-shirt that says Cloverdale on it,” Hardy says.

The association, which starts off at zero dollars in the bank, according to Hardy, plans to market themselves to get as much money as they can through sponsorship and membership to be able to put on these events in the summer months.

Talk about creating the association started last year, but didn’t fall into place now, says Hardy.

“I think we were ready now. The timing was just right in order for the markets to expand and grow to the place that we think that they could be.”

To find out more about the Cloverdale Arts and Entertainment Association, and their membership or sponsorship, visit LAUREN COLLINS PHOTO www.cloverdale-ae.ca or email info@clo- Paige Hardy and David Chemago want to make Cloverdale a destination in Surrey. verdale-ae.ca.

artisan, and she looked at [Market Days] last year and hummed and hawed about it, and this year she’s definitely signed on,” Hardy says. “She thinks it’s going to be bigger and better and it’s going to be more exposure for her, therefore worth her while.”

The museum and library have also been supportive of the Market Days over the years, but the association is hoping to work with a bunch of different groups.

“We want to involve the whole community of Cloverdale . . . We want this to be the town centre.

This is the focal point - 176 Street - but we’re inviting all of Cloverdale to participate,” Hardy says.

Because the Arts and Entertainment Association wants Cloverdale to be more inclusive, they’re working on more entertainment for the community.

The association is hoping to get a community piano for the summer through the City of Surrey. So far, a location hasn’t been decided.

They’re also looking at pop-up art throughout the year to enhance the community.

To be able to do all of that, the association has been selling T-shirts and 100 per cent of the proceeds get put back into marketing and entertainment.

At $20 a shirt - including taxes - they have sold more than 500.

In the spring, “April showers bring May flowers”…AND Itchy eyes, itchy noses, itchy palates, runny noses, sneezing, nasal congestion and even difficulties breathing. If these symptoms sound familiar to you, then unfortunately, you likely suffer from allergic rhinitis, more commonly known as seasonal allergies or hayfever. Although most people associate seasonal allergies with tree pollens in the spring, grass pollens in the summer and other weed pollens in the fall can be just as aggravating.

Understanding what is happening in the body can help us to understand what treatment options to choose. Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) reactions are characterized by the binding of an allergen-immunoglobulin E (e.g., pollen-antibody) complex to mast cells, which results in the release of histamine.

Mast cells are found all over the body, but are more concentrated in the skin, lungs, and gastro-intestinal lining. Histamine, a natural chemical produced by the immune system and stored in the mast cells, is the culprit behind allergy symptoms as it increases blood flow to the area, which can make the mucous membranes lining the nose and throat swell as the liquid leaks out of the blood vessels.

Histamine can also stimulate sensory neurons

resulting in itching and cause smooth muscle contraction in the airways which can make it difficult to breathe.

But this reaction does not happen in every body; some bodies are more sensitive to allergens in the environment than others. One could say that their immune systems are hyperreactive. This is the first target of using natural remedies to help with allergies. Homeopathic THYMULINE and POLLENS taken on alternating days of the weeks for 5-10 weeks can help prime your immune system and “teach” it to be less reactive when it encounters the actual allergen. Similarly, PASCALLERG by Pascoe is a homeopathic formula that targets the body’s regulatory systems to prevent or reduce overreaction to foreign substances. Thymuline and Pascallerg are non-specific and can be useful in many types of allergic reactions, not just hayfever.

Quercetin is a dietary flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

It can help regulate histamine-producing mast cells, reducing the allergen-driven release of histamine. Quercetin can be found on its own in QUERCETONE (by Thorne Research) or in combination with grapeseed extract for further anti-inflammatory properties in NATURE’S DEFENCE (by Sisu).

For those on multiple prescription medications who may be concerned about drug interactions, homeopathic options are the safest. HENRY’S ALLERGY MIX is good for

those whose symptoms include itchy skin and runny nose. If your symptoms include an itchy palate or ears, ANNA’S HAYFEVER MIX can be helpful.

Because inflammation is a part of the allergic response, quality omega-3 supplements such as OMEGAGENICS 720, SEALICIOUS, or NUTRASEA are useful for their anti-inflammatory properties as well as to improve the integrity of the epithelial linings.

These should be used for a longer period of time in order to achieve their benefits.

The most effective approach is a multifaceted approach. Start about 4-5 weeks before your allergies typically flare up with a course of Thymuline and Pollens. Add on quercetin and/or an omega-3 fatty acid supplement at the same time and follow-up with a homeopathic remedy targeting your symptoms when allergy season begins. Most of these natural supplements are compatible with other medications, but always check with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure their safe usage.

She added the Arts and Entertainment Association is looking at those communities for inspiration.

“We don’t need to reinvent the wheel.”

Chemago, however, is looking internationally for more inspiration.

“I look at places like New York and all of the neighbourhoods there and markets they have.”

And Cloverdale’s Market Days have been one of their biggest community events.

The Market Days run from May until September on the last Saturday of each month.

This year, the Market Days - now going into its third year, will be able to close 176 Street.

Hardy says they’re encompassing more than just vendors and businesses. This year, they’re planning to have food trucks and more local art and artisans.

In regards to the food trucks, Hardy says the association will be respectful of what’s already in the area.

“If we’re bringing in food trucks, there’s not going to be a food truck here that sells sushi because we have a sushi restaurant. It’s about respecting what’s already here and working with the community.”

Chemago, who owns Six Technologies Inc. (5674 176 Street) and Cloverdale Coffee Co. (5674 176 Street), says closing the roads has been a learning curve, but people in the community and the city have been “really good.”

“The bigger the events become, the more structure you have to have in place; flaggers for the road closure and signage,” he added.

The community reaction to the new Arts and Entertainment Association has been great as well.

Surrey RCMP focus on prolific offenders

In January, 21 prolific offenders were arrested because of the new enhanced focus and highly analytical approach Local criminals might be having a difficult time these days and it might have to do with the Surrey RCMP’s focus on prolific offenders.

An enhanced focus of targeting prolific offenders through a highly analytical approach has led to 21 arrest in January alone.

These arrests were primarily for breaching their conditions of release or probation, or a variety of other offences including theft, drugs and fraud.

Some of the recent arrests include a 53-year-old man with more than 90 criminal

charges since 2009, a 30-year-old mail thief with 41 criminal charges since 2005 and a 43-year-old man whose residence had been such a chronic problem in the community that police had been called to his address more than 25 times in a four-month period.

With an 18 per cent drop in property crime in the city in the last quarter of 2015, this focus has allowed front-line police officers to spend more time proactively patrolling in the community.

“It is important that we use our policing resources as efficiently as possible and the

approach we are taking to address prolific offenders has been high successful,” said Community Services Officer, Superintendent Shawn Gill in a press release.

As a part of the Surrey RCMP’s commitment to crime reductions and community safety, this specialized process targeting prolific offenders was created last fall.

To target these prolific offenders, the RCMP uses crime analysts as a way to identify the prolific offenders, then use their targeted enforcement teams to focus on the offenders.

“As efficiencies are created through this highly analytical work, our patrol officers are not burdened with investigating the same crimes committed by the same criminals over and over again,” said Supt. Gill.

Launched last fall, the Surrey Mobilization and Resiliency Table (SMART), in partnership with the Surrey RCMP works in closely with health, housing, income assistance, social and educational service providers and corrections to address community problems before they become policing problems.

Hospital bed cuts as care homes open The plan has been in the works for years and will take place over the next six months as residential bed open up

By Jeff Nagel Fraser Health will close 80 hospital beds across the region this spring as it simultaneously opens up hundreds of new residential care beds and embarks on a long-awaited shift of aging patients out of hospitals and back into local communities.

The strategy has been years in the works and is culminating now as 400 residential beds are set to come on stream across the region.

“This will happen over the next six months,” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said. “As those residential care beds come available, we’ll be able to

move people into them and slowly the reductions will happen.”

Beds will be cut at 10 hospitals – all of them except Delta and Fraser Canyon.

The reductions work out to less than three per cent of Fraser’s 3,000 total hospital acute care beds.

Fraser officials hope

the shift into the community will ultimately mean better, more appropriate care for those patients, as well as fewer people clogging hospital beds and less ER congestion.

“What we’re hearing is people want to go home and they want to go back into their communities,” Juma said.

Juma maintained the region will see a net increase in combined residential and acute care beds and a net increase in jobs as more support staff are being deployed for community care.

Ten new hospice beds are also being opened.

The 400 new residential complex care beds opening are split between four projects in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Surrey and White Rock at a cost of $34.5 million to Fraser.

Fraser has long pursued a “home is best” long-range strategy to decongest hospitals but that took on renewed urgency in 2013 when Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review

She questioned whether enough nurses are working in community care to handle the new patients.

Juma agreed hospital emergency departments are busy right now, partly because of higher winter volumes.

“We are going to ensure the support in the community is there before we start reducing those bed numbers.”

The Amazon-published narrative angers victims’ families, gov’t

By Kevin Diakiw After a swift and stinging response, including a 38,000-name online petition, Amazon has stopped selling a book written by serial killer Robert “Willie” Pickton.

Pickton has penned a book from prison, angering families of victims and the provincial government.

Pickton has written a book called “Pickton: In his own words,” and was available on Amazon for a short time Monday.

It was listed as authored by California’s Michael Chilldres, who reportedly assisted by typing it up and getting it to a publisher.

Families of victims and the B.C. government reacted, saying it was an outrage that Pickton could profit from the killings.

An online petition created by change.org, generated almost 38,000 names in a few hours.

By Monday afternoon, Ama-

zon had pulled the book from its list of offerings.

When it was written, or how it landed in the hands of a publisher from Kent Institution, is not clear.

Pickton, 66, is serving a life sentence for the second-degree murder of six women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. He is suspected of killing another 20.

One of the six women he was convicted of killing was Surrey’s Sereena Abotsway.

The foster child of Bert and Anna Draayers was 29 years old when she went missing in August 2001. At the time, she was living in the Downtown Eastside.

She promised the Draayers she would be home for her 30th birthday, but never arrived.

Sandra Gagnon’s sister Janet Henry used to go to Pickton’s farm and went missing in 1997.

On Monday morning, B.C.’s Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Mike Morris said in a statement his office was appealing to Amazon to stop selling the book.

“We are taking this very seriously and investigating every means available to ensure that the families involved are protected from further harm and that Robert Pickton will not profit in any way from this book,” Morris said. “It is not right that a person who has caused so much harm and hurt so many people could profit from his behaviour.”

Craig Daniell, CEO of the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said the recent seizure of 66 neglected dogs from a Langley breeder has outraged

B.C. residents.

“These events have really reinforced the public’s desire for the licensing and inspection of dog and cat breeders, to prevent the kind of suffering we have witnessed in the last few weeks,” Daniell said.

Cloverdale resident directs new film A woman’s decades-old dream brought to the silver screen by local director John Banovich

By Lauren Collins A romantic historical drama is the latest project for Cloverdale’s John Banovich, who is the director and one of the producers of a new movie, Stolen Path.

The film, which is based on the novel Moc Zemlie by Janko Matko, tells the true-life story of forbidden love, set against the backdrop of the 19th century feudal Croatia.

According to the film’s synopsis, “When otherwise-engaged heiress Victoria falls for strong-willed peasant boy Matthew, their passionate, clandestine affair results in a ripple effect that threatens to tear both lovers’ families apart forever.”

Banovich, whose father is Croatian, said he remembers having the story read to him as a child. He describes the novel as a “required reading, almost.”

Banovich is an award-winning director who has filmed across Canada. His work has been seen on MTV Europe,

SPACE, CNN, CTV, Global TV and the BBC. His movies and documentaries have been screened at numerous film festivals around the world.

Banovich worked with the writer and executive-producer, Goldie Smitlener on Stolen Path.

Though interested in the story from beginning, and having spoken to Smitlener, he had other jobs in place at the time.

Smitlener ended up working with someone else, but it “didn’t go very well,” according to Banovich.

After that, Banovich and Smitlener did a full edit on the script and re-shot most of the film back in the Lower Mainland, but still used some of the shots from Croatia.

They began filming again in late summer of 2014 and shot through until late March 2015.

Although they were on a small budget,

Banovich said his “arsenal of folk” in the industry were a big help.

He added that Smitlener was very determined to make this movie happen, but described her as a “loving, caring grandma who cared for everyone on set.”

Smitlener, whose children once attended Cloverdale Catholic School, found inspiration for the film at the age of 15 after reading Moc Zemlie.

See LOVE STORY / Page 13

A love story onand off-screen From page twelve

Now 69, Smitlener said the story and themes stuck with her for the next 50 or so years. “I always thought that it would make a wonderful film,� Smitlener said. “There was an attempt some 20 years ago to make a movie of the book, but it did not materialize. so, I decided that I’d do it myself.�

She said her granddaughter Daniela was her other inspiration.

When Daniela was 16 she asked Smitlener what her dream was and Smitlener told her about Stolen Path. From there, the two got to work.

Daniela plays the female protagonist, Victoria.

After buying the rights to the book, Smitlener spent several months breaking down the book and adapting the story to a screenplay structure.

This was her first script, but she “knew the story well and how best to tackle it.�

Smitlener said she made the film without any of the regular provincial funding bodies or any national arts grants. “I wanted to see this movie, so I reached into my own pocket and put the money up on the silver screen myself.�

She said she wanted tell the story because she “firmly believes that the word ‘love’ is so misused in our society, that it has lost its true meaning.

She describes Stolen

Path’s period as a “simpler time when love was everything.� “Even in making the picture, it was love that conquered all the challenges to get the movie to the screen,� Smitlener said.

One of the reasons Stolen Path appealed to Banovich was the love story between Smitlener and her granddaughter off-screen and how she was willing to “go the distance� to make the film. “It impressed the heck out of me,� he said.

Smitlener was 67

‘It impressed the heck out of me.’ - John Banovich, director

when it all started and she wanted to show that her generation “can and should still be productive.� “When people learn that I went off and made a real feature-length movie without years of industry experience, they’re flabbergasted by my persistence and amazed at the final product.�

Banovich said Stolen Path has received a lot of recognition. “It’s a real surprise.

That golden nugget surprise.�

So far, Stolen Path has received awards and recognition around the world including ‘Best Actress’ nod at Toronto World International Film Festival and platinum for a feature film at the International Student and Newcomer in

Jakarta, Indonesia.

As for what’s next for Smitlener: “Sell Stolen Path. The film is in the can, and we’re all really pleased with it . . . As for the future, I’ve got one more film in me - - except this time, I’ll know exactly what I’m getting myself into.�

By Lauren Collins “Give a bit, donate a kit” is the tagline some fourth-year marketing students are using for their C.A.R.E Kits.

The Kwantlen Polytechnic University students have created the C.A.R.E (Community, Aid & Relief Efforts) kits as a part of their practicum and online business.

The team of seven (Ruskhaar Ali, Elodie Egersperger, Sebastian Hermannes, Jasmin Sahota, Christina Wiebe, Lindsey Zinn and Anthony Andreone) came up with the idea of kits for the Syrian refugees arriving in the Lower Mainland.

“We wanted to apply our classroom lessons and knowledge in a way that would benefit others positively, instead of marketing yet another product in a saturated world,” said Wiebe in a press release.

C.A.R.E Kits offer two packages: A Child Kit containing toothpaste, two toothbrushes, baby powder and baby biscuits, and a Family Kit containing toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo and condition, a bar of soap and a bag of rice.

Each kit is sold for $25 and can be purchased online at www.carekits.ca until March 23.

The products are delivered by the team to the Muslim Food Bank who then directly distribute the care packages to refugee families.

At the start of the project, every team was given a $200-seed capital from the school to start up the business, which the teams need to pay pack at the end, according to Wiebe.

Since being given the money, the C.A.R.E. Kits team has grown their business and used the sales revenue to purchase more inventory.

As of Feb. 18, the team has sold 175 care packages, but their goal is 400.

After the team pays back the $200 and subtract their inventory expenses from their profits, the remaining money goes toward the Kwantlen Bachelor of Business administration in Marketing Management (BBAMM) Scholarship Fund.

Langley actor Jacob Tremblay made a hometown appearance on Sunday evening at the Langley International Film Festival.

The nine-year-old treated a thrilled audience at the Chief Sepass Theatre to a Q&A session following the screening of his film, Room.

Fellow Langley actor Jake Guy moderated.

Tremblay recently won the Best Young Actor award at the Critics’ Choice Awards for his performance as fiveyear-old Jack in Room, and is nominated for performance by an actor in a leading role at the Canadian Screen Awards.

His next stop is the 88th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 28, where he is an official award presenter.

The Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Clovies in April.

The Clovies is an event meant to honour and celebrate business excellence in the community.

The idea for the Clovies started around spring and summer of last year. The Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce figured it would be a good idea since most chambers of commerce have awards nights, said Wayne McKay, the events planner for the chamber of commerce.

The April 14 event will be held at the Northview Golf and Country Club (6857 168 Street) at 6:30 p.m.

People and business owners are allowed to nominate any business - including their own - that has a business license for Cloverdale. Nominated businesses don’t have to be a member of the chamber of commerce.

The categories are: Business Excellence under 18 Employees, Business Excellence 18 and Over Employees, Bill Reid Memorial Business Person of the Year, Green Business of the Year, New Business of the Year, Not-For-Profit of the Year and Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

Some of the submission guidelines are; in the event

Two wins and a loss for the Giants Even winning the majority of their upcoming games, the Giants still might not be able to qualify for the playoffs

By Rick Kupchuk The Vancouver Giants were very close to winning all three games this past weekend.

But even if the Western Hockey League team had done so, it probably wouldn’t be of much help in their pursuit of a Western Hockey League (WHL)playoff position.

The Giants lost 6-5 to the Kelowna Rockets Friday night in the Okanagan city, then won twice at home – 4-2 over the Rockets Saturday night and 4-3 in a shootout Sunday afternoon over the Kamloops Blazers.

But it appears winning the majority of their remaining games won’t be enough to qualify for the playoffs. The Giants

earned four of six points yet gained little ground on the competition, and are still 10 points out of a playoff position with just 11 games to play.

Among the teams the Giants are chasing are the Blazers, the eighth-place team in the Western Conference. By taking Sunday’s game at the Pacific Coliseum to a tiebreaker, Kamloops allowed the Giants to make up just one point in the standings.

Vancouver scored the first three goals of the game, with Trevor Cox, Chase Land and Radovan Bondra finding the net for the home team, which led 3-0 three minutes into the second period.

The Blazers scored twice in 32 seconds to but the difference to 3-2 after 40 minutes, then scored a tying goal with 13 minutes to play in regulation time.

After a scoreless overtime, Cox was the only one of six players to score in a shootout.

Netminder Jake Morrisey got the win in the Giants net, stopping 32 of 35 shots over 65 minutes of play.

The Giants also won their home game Saturday night, scoring three third-period goals

IT’S GAME DAY!

to upset the Rockets.

Lang gave Vancouver a 1-0 lead after one period, but the teams went into the third frame tied 1-1. Thomas Foster scored a go-ahead goal for the Giants in the first minute of the third period, Cox scored the winning goal five minutes later, then Carter Popoff made it 4-1 with 13 minutes left to play.

Ty Ronning assisted on three goals, while Cox was credited with one helper, the 200th in the Surrey native’s WHL career.

While the Rockets couldn’t erase the three-goal deficit in Vancouver Saturday, they did just that Friday in Kelowna.

Lang scored three times on the powerplay in the first period, and Cox added a goal in the second for a 4-1 Giants lead.

The Rockets cut the difference to 4-3 after two periods, but Foster tallied with the man advantage early in the third period to put Vancouver up 5-3.

The Rockets then scored three unanswered goals for the win.

After a game last night (After Black Press deadlines) in Seattle against the Thunderbirds, the Giants will play at home to the Rockets Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Pacific Coliseum, then visit the Blazers in Kamloops Saturday evening.

Gator’s Gym raises thousands

Cloverdale gym raises money for team participating in Workout to Conquer Cancer

By Lauren Collins This past Saturday, a local gym raised a couple of thousand dollars in a fundraiser for Workout to Conquer Cancer.

Gator’s Gym (#103-17670 65A Avenue) raised $2,056 in total with its three morning circuit classes and donation box.

Of the $2,056 raised, $1,250 of that was from the drop-in fees and $806 was from donations.

The gym, which is putting together a team for Workout to Conquer Cancer, gave 100 per cent of the drop-in fees from Saturday’s to raising money for the Workout to Conquer Cancer.

Bevilacqua said a few people who are clients at Gator’s Gym had experience with cancer in their lives. “[The fundraiser was] something simple we could do and get together. It makes it

worthwhile.”

As of Feb. 22, two clients of the gym Alex Eged and James Vilvang, who work at Richards Buell Sutton Law, said the firm will match the total amount raised on Saturday.

Bianca West, G.U.T.S. team captain for Workout to Conquer Cancer, decided to create a team after hearing about the event on Facebook.

The BC Cancer Foundation’s Workout to Conquer Cancer is on April 2 and will feature a “day of upbeat group exercise classes” to raise money for life-saving cancer research.

People wanting to join Workout to Conquer Cancer can either sign up individually or create a team.

West approached people at Gator’s Gym about forming a team since they did Tough Mudder last year, and she “knew it was a

group that liked to do things.”

As of last week 12 people were on the G.U.T.S team, but West figured that by the end of the Feb. 20 class that five or six more people had joined.

She hopes to have at least 20 people by the time the April 2 event rolls around.

Saturday’s classes were full, according to Bevilacqua. He added that quite a few people wanted to come to the classes but they had already filled up.

The circuit classes, included one-third core training, one-third cardio and one-third weights with an emphasis on weights, during the hour-and-a-half-long classes.

The G.U.T.S. team will be having another fundraiser - this time a pub night - on March 19.

LAUREN COLLINS PHOTOS

There were more than 20 stations at the 10 a.m. class on Saturday, Feb. 20. All three morning classes were full and at the 10 a.m. class, a rep from the BC Cancer Foundation’s Workout to Conquer Cancer came and joined in on the hour-and-a-half-long class.
