Turkey’s fundraiser goes over the topBy Jennifer LangIt’s a home-spun
charity event that’s out-done itself every year for 22 years.
Turkey’s Party Mak-ers charity golf tourna-ment is an annual fund-raiser combining wacky golf, fun prizes and zany snail races with an evening capped off with a really great party – all in support of the B.C. Cancer Foundation, which funds cancer re-search through the B.C. Cancer Agency.
Held in Septem-ber, the event raises money for lung cancer research, in memory of Marion, mother-in-law to Rob “Turkey” Kielesinski.
Guests play nine holes of golf using hockey sticks or tennis racquets, and everyone wins a prize, before heading back to the novelty store’s giant Cloverdale warehouse for dinner and a dance.
Half of the money raised contributed by patrons, with Kielesins-ki making a matching donation.
But the event isn’t just fun – it’s also deeply personal. Just before dinner, the hosts read out a list of names of those who have lost their lives to cancer in the previous year.
Th ey did something unique this year, says store manager Tiff any Korosec – 65 cupcakes were decorated with all the names of those friends in the circle who have passed away in recent years, includ-ing one of Kielesinski’s high school buddies.
Funds go to the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Centre in Surrey.
“Every year I come here, it’s the week of
Th anksgiving,” notes B.C. Cancer Foun-dation representative Rachel Mitchel, who
smiles as she says it’s fi tting to receive a gift from a “Turkey” – namely, Kielesinski,
whose trademark laugh is legendary.
According to Mitchel, who has been attending
the party as a liaison for the foundation for the past eight years, the amount raised climbs ever higher, from a relatively humble $438 in 1993 to $20,885 in 2015.
Th at adds up to a combined $138,000 in donations over the years in what’s become the agency’s longest
running charity event.“It’s pretty good,” says
Kielesinski, shaking his head. “It’s pretty good.” Kielesinski says he’s really proud of everyone involved, and stresses that the event is supported through “Tons of help” and his dedicated, hard-work-ing staff .
He’s thinking of
changing the format considerably next year – the organizational lo-gistics involved, and the amount of staff time, just take too much.
But he vows to do something to raise charitable funds for the cause.
“Unless they cure it by next year, then I’m done!” he chuckles.

Seniors taken seriouslyTo the editor; Members of the Langley Seniors Com-
munity Action Table took on the responsi-bility of organizing all-candidates meetings for the two federal con-stituencies that would focus on the issues of pressing concern to seniors in the Langleys.
Th ese were held in the aft er-noons of October 5 and October 7, and were very well attended by voters in the area.
We thank the candidates who did attend and participate in the discussions: John Aldag, Simmi Dhillon, Dean Drysdale, Leon Jensen, Margot Sangster and Rebecca Smith. Mark Warawa and Lauren Southern did not attend and unfortunately, we have recently learned that due to illness Scott An-derson of the Green Party could not attend.
We thank the Aldergrove Legion and the Langley Senior Resources Society for pro-viding the venues and Frank Bucholtz for capably moderating the two events.
We wish to thank the Cloverdale Reporter
for covering these events and thereby pro-viding the senior voters in our communi-ty with the opportunity to refl ect upon the issues raised at these meetings including housing, retirement income security, seniors
health care strategy, transpor-tation, veterans and a national seniors strategy.
Th ese issues are all inter-re-lated and will require concerted eff orts by the newly elected fed-eral government to ensure that
our communities function eff ectively for all generations.

Show visitors the money Re: “No free parking: Fraser Health,” Oct.
14Perhaps Fraser Health board chair Karen
Matty has missed her calling to be a come-dian.
I laughed when I read her comment that
people should “carpool to hospitals or ar-range drop-off .”
I don’t know what kind of world she lives in, but in my world people fi nd it diffi cult to arrange a carpool when they suddenly realize that they need to drive someone to the hospi-tal for pressing medical reasons and oft en end up needing to park for a few hours.
Also, dropping the person off at the hospi-tal is not something that we do in my world either.
We prefer to support each other in times of need. Visiting and/or remaining with a pa-tient – friend or family – is important to us. It’s just how we like to treat each other.
She states that the money raised from park-ing fees is used for “maintaining the lots, for snow removal, and lighting, etc.”
Well, show me the money and do the math.Somehow, I just can’t imagine that these
expenses require the amount of money that is collected hourly, daily, weekly, etc.
However, I need more information to be certain about that. Please show me the fi gures.

howling in the distance, street sewers filled with blood and the Ripper himself
prowling around any corner. Also in the mix may or may not be psychotic circus clowns, claustrophobic tunnels that will leave patrons gasping for air, spinning rooms of vertigo and much, much more. The Fun Per Square Inch
(FPSI) couldn’t possibly be any higher in Whitechapel without having disastrous
results and a possible implosion of horrific fun resulting in the creation of an independent black hole comprised
entirely of human fright. We think you’ll really, really enjoy our “Ripper House”
this year... or at the very least come screaming out the emergency exits with
eyes wide open!!!
HOUSE#2: The Swampin’
SlaughterhouseIs there anything more classic and downright scary than a good old-
fashioned southern haunted mansion located deep in a Louisiana swamp?
Well, that’s what we have served up this year for our second haunted house of Potter’s House of Horrors. Picture creepy libraries, dark musty
cellars and strange faces poking around every corner. And there’s even a gross, chilly swamp that appears to
have many bloated bodies floating at the bottom... perhaps it could use
another? Hillbillies, psychopaths, monsters and more will pound up and
down the hallways of our southern mansion just waiting to prey on the
next visitor who dares cross their path. Here’s our advice – kiss your loved
ones before entering and pray that the end comes quickly... we hope you
make it to the end!!! Muah-ha-ha-ha!!!

Watts only Conservative to win a seat in Surrey
Aldag, a Parks Canada em-ployee of 32 years and father of three, began his campaign in December, 2013 aft er stepping down from his job in the feder-al government. In that time, he estimated, he knocked on 25,000 doors and walked more than 1,000 kms on his way to Monday night’s victory.
Aldag’s win upended all pre-dictions for the newly-drawn rid-ing, considered to be safe Con-servative territory, even without an incumbent MP.
But Aldag, 52, ran what ob-servers described as a lively campaign, at one point cir-cumnavigating the new riding’s boundaries, a journey of about 50 kms, in order to draw attention to the 42nd federal election – and to encourage people to vote.
He’s pledged to form a commu-nity advisory group in Clover-dale-Langley City within the fi rst 100 days in offi ce, and advocate for signifi cant transit improve-ments in under serviced areas.
With offi cial results pending, Aldag is shown winning with 24,599 votes, capturing 45.5 per cent of the popular vote – and a 5,783 vote margin ahead of
Drysdale (18,816 votes, and 34.8 per cent of the vote). NDP can-didate Rebecca Smith was third with 8,426 votes (15.6 per cent), and Scott Anderson (Green) 2,246 votes (4.2 per cent).
Turnout was 70.2 per cent for Cloverdale-Langley City, with more than 54,000 voters casting ballots out of 77,000 registered.
Former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts was the only Conservative to secure a seat in Surrey – she won a nail-biter in South Sur-rey-White Rock, where Liberal challenger Judy Higginbotham proved a tough contender until late in the night, winning by 1,439 votes, or 2.5 per cent. Pixie Hob-by (NDP) came third, followed by
Green Larry Colero.Incumbent Con-
servative Nina Gre-wal lost to Liberal Ken Hardie in Fleet-wood-Port Kells, where the NDP’s Garry Begg was in third place. Hardie beat Grewal by more than 8,500 votes, a 17.5 per cent margin.
In Surrey-Newton, the Liberal tide swept incumbent NDP MP Jinny Sims aside, with Sukh Dhaliwal claim-
ing the riding ahead of her with 13,265 votes, and ahead of Har-preet Singh (Cons.) and Pamela Sangha (Green).
In Surrey Centre, Randeep Sa-rai (L) beat the NDP’s Jasbir Sand-hu, and Sucha Th ind (C).
Incumbent MP Mark Warwara held Langley-Aldergrove for the Conservatives.
Warawa is the only Member of Parliament who has represented Langley since the now-reconfi g-ured riding was created in 2004.
Nationally, the Liberals are shown elected or leading in 185 ridings, a clear majority, the Con-servatives with 100 seats, NDP 42, Bloc Quebec 10, and Green 1.
Voter turnout was 70.2 per cent in Cloverdale-Langley CityFrom page 1

pension (to age 90) of $2,791,083.
Hiebert, 46, can opt to start collecting his pension at age 55.
Out of the 75 MPs who have retired since the last election – or have chosen not to run again – Hie-bert has the 22nd highest lifetime pension total. According to CTF research direc-tor Jeff Bowes, those 75 MPs includes 13 MPs who didn’t serve long enough to earn a pension (less than six years).
Hiebert had a reputa-tion as a staunch Harp-er supporter, but never held a cabinet post.
His most notable controversy occurred
in 2011, when it was revealed his personal expenses from 2008-2009 as MP were the
second-high-est in the country.
Th e riding’s boundaries have been redrawn for 2015, with the creation of the new Clover-dale-Langley City electoral district –
where voters on Mon-day chose the riding’s fi rst-ever MP.
In his fi nal house-holder to constituents, Hiebert describes his 11 years in offi ce as “life changing,” naming his private member’s bill becoming law as a highlight.
Th e bill requires labour organizations to publicly disclose fi nances, and was not without controver-
sy – it was challenged as unconstitutional. He also pointed to his stance on crime, his role in improving trade and transit with the U.S. and “being an active participant in the signifi cant accomplish-
ments and milestones of our government.”
Hiebert recently told Black Press he plans to return to the private sector to pursue some business opportunities and spend more time with his family.
Th e taxpayers federation argues the current pension system for federal politicians is too rich, contribut-ing $4 for every dollar contributed by an MP, who is guaranteed a steady payout regard-
less of how markets or investments perform.
It favours a dol-lar-for-dollar matching formula now used in Saskatchewan and Ontario.
Th e CTF has also pointed out that most
Canadians working in the private sector have no private pension plan, and those who do, normally have defi ned contribution, RRSP-style plans where they must save.

DENTIST
Q:A:
Why do I need x-rays? One of the major concerns that patients have is the amount of radiation exposure they receive from x-rays. Digital x-rays, which replace the traditional fi lm with an electronic sensor, require much less radiation and is very safe.
X-ray evaluation of the dental and periodontal (gum or bone) tissues is a critical tool needed for your examination. Dentists use x-rays for many reasons: to fi nd hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. It is possible for both tooth decay and periodontal disease to be missed during a visual exam alone. Most people will have 4 small x-rays taken once a year during one of their cleaning visits. These are used to detect hidden decay and changes in bone density caused by gum disease. Sometimes a smaller, individual x-ray is needed to detect abnormalities of the root structure and surrounding bone of a tooth.

Tough drunk driving penalties upheldBy Jeff NagelCanada’s top court
has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehi-cle impoundments, stiff fi nes and immediate 90-day licence suspen-sions.
Th e Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provin-cial government’s policy
aft er it was challenged by motorists.
Justices said there was “no doubt” auto-matic roadside prohi-bitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure.
They rejected the ar-gument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed
blood-alcohol reading on a portable device.
The court found the province’s “press-ing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on public roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.”
Roadside penalties have largely supplant-ed criminal investiga-
tions and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money ex-pended on drunk driv-ing cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges.
Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving.
Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminaliza-tion of most cases of impaired driving.
Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usual-ly risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record.
Also before the courts was the con-stitutionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face road-side penalties.
A majority of Su-preme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate
the Charter of Rights protection against unlawful search and seizure.
The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test – the low-est of the two readings is used – and created a process for them to appeal driving prohi-bitions.
“Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June 2012 already address the constitu-
tional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said.
It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the fi rst two years of the program could be compensated.
Anton welcomed the ruling, adding imme-diate roadside prohibi-tions have been “very eff ective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past fi ve years.
“People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as much,” Anton said.
“As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized. And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. Th at’s whatkeeps our roads safe.”
Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge elements of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court.
About 18,000 road-side prohibitions are issued each year and about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process.

Crime and safety sessions returnCloverdale residents are invited out to
meet with Surrey RCMP at a local school later this month as the third series of neighbourhood safety presentations gets underway this month.
Th e Oct. 29 presentation at Martha Cur-rie Elementary School will teach residents about crime prevention and provide them with strategies they can use in their own neighbourhood.
Th e presentation will cover local crime trends, current policing initiatives, prop-erty crime and how to report crime and suspicious activity.
Each session is hosted by a Surrey RCMP District Offi ce Commander, along with various speakers from the Surrey De-tachment.
Th e Surrey RCMP has hosted 10 such presentations since the start of the year, drawing nearly 700 residents.
“Th e feedback we received from past participants has shown us that residents
are eager to have these open discussions with police and work together to address crime and nuisance issues,” Supt. Shawn Gill, a community services offi cer, said.
“Our hope is that more residents will take proactive steps towards being the change they want to see in their neigh-bourhoods.”
Th e sessions wrap up Oct. 29 in Clover-dale, aft er stops at Boundary Park Elemen-tary, City Centre, Guildford, and South Meridian Elementary Oct. 28.
All meetings start at 6:30 p.m.Pre-registration isn’t required, but res-
idents who would like more information on the campaign may contact their Dis-trict Offi ce. In Cloverdale/Port Kells Dis-trict 4, that number is: 604-502-6266.

Chop shop bustedOne man was arrested in Surrey and an-
other in Langley in connection to a chop shop discovered on a rural property in South Surrey Oct. 13.
IMPACT (Integrated Municipal Police Auto Crime Team), Surrey RCMP’s auto crime target team, and ICBC executed a search warrant at a rural property in the 2300-block of 176 Street.
Th e large police presence also brought out the Emergency Response Team, po-lice dogs and Air One. An investigationrevealed that this property was being used to dismantle stolen pick-up trucks, said IMPACT Insp. Peter Jadis.
Charges are pending on a number of in-dividuals related to the property.
“Most vehicles stolen in B.C. are recov-ered so it is unusual to fi nd an operation like this where stolen vehicles are being dismantled and reassembled to appear as a legitimate vehicle,” said Jadis.

Mall concerns hijack SCDC meetingBy Jennifer LangNot yet, but soon.Th at’s the message
Surrey City Develop-ment Corp. offi cials had for the small but persistent crowd that turned out to hear an update on plans to redevelop the former Cloverdale mall site.
Th e event was billed as an annual public information meeting to discuss the corpo-ration’s mandate and projects, including the Cloverdale Mall rede-velopment.
But attendees – a mix that included representatives from the Cloverdale BIA, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, and Surrey city council – only wanted to hear about one project: Th e long-promised plan to redevelop the city property in phases as a blend of commercial and residential units, helping to revitalize the historic Cloverdale downtown.
Th e dilapidated mall was torn down in 2011 to make way for redevelopment, but the initial phase – which would have housed a new Legion hall for Cloverdale Branch 6 along with new com-mercial and residential units – hit a snag: envi-ronmental contamina-tion from former dry cleaning operations.
Ongoing remediation eff orts to clean up soil contamination have de-layed the project, how-ever SCDC offi cials are optimistic that progress is being made.
Phase one partner Townline has agreed to develop the south-west corner of the site, becoming fee simple owner of the parcel on July 1. Th e company is looking to build a four-storey residential and commercial devel-opment that’s expected to break ground in the fi rst quarter of 2016, SCDC president and CEO Aubrey Kelly said.
Th e second developer is Mosaic, which is se-riously looking to build on the section directly north of the Cloverdale Legion, a parcel that can’t be developed until environmental remedi-ation is complete on a section of contaminated soil.
Fresh from a small business week walk-about earlier in the day in Cloverdale, Surrey Coun. Dave Woods said merchants and businesses have a lot of questions surrounding
the project.Woods said it’s
imperative SCDC post detailed updates on its website to enable the public to keep up-to-date, “Because the misinformation in the community is that there is no remediation happening.”
Th e mall redevelop-ment , he added, “Is a hot button issue in this community. ”
Th e contamination was localized, said Jaret Lang, development manager. Once discov-
ered, the contaminated material was removed, he said, but subsequent testing found there was still some source con-tamination, resulting in additional remediation eff orts. Rather than excavate further, it was decided to use a biore-mediation process that “works well, but takes longer,” Lang said.
It’s expected to take another 18 months to complete.
Meantime, SCDC is seeking to re-designate the site as “contaminat-
ed,” which will allow developer Mosaic to begin applying for development permits at city hall.
“One of the things we feel good about is they have a lot of experience in dealing with contam-inated sites,” Kelly said.
“Once we get to the downgrade of ‘contam-inated’ the nice thing is they can actually start dealing with develop-ment permit issuing,” he said. “It’s not a lost 18 months.”
Th e site’s zoning and geotechnical conditions – including a clay soil – are limiting factors in terms of building higher density. Without the ability to build an
underground parkade, the height and building density of any future development on the site are limited.
“In City Centre, if we had the exact same site, we’d be under way already,” noted Kelly.
Th e need for better transit in Cloverdale was also highlighted.
Condo develop-ers, hotel operators, restaurateurs and fi rst-time home buyers all consider transit when deciding on a location, and until Cloverdale is better served, it will lag behind other areas of Surrey, Kelly said.
“Th e most important thing Cloverdale needs to develop – whether
it’s residential, commer-cial – is great transit options,” Kelly said. “If I were a resident of Cloverdale, I’d be bang-ing that drum: we need transit.”
Leaving downtown Cloverdale off the map in terms of future transit expansion – notably the proposed LRT line from Surrey to Langley City along Fraser Highway and through Clayton – has repercussions for future development in the historic town centre.
“You don’t really have that critical mass of res-idential around here,” said Lang. “Th at is what needs to happen here.”

HAPPY HALLOWEENCloverdale
Halloween Safety Tips1. Instruct your older children to TAKE FRIENDS when “Trick or Treating.”2. Make sure a TRUSTED ADULT, an older child, or you accompany your younger children when “Trick or Treating.” A trusted adult is a person parents/guardians have come to rely on and with whom they and their children feel comfortable. Discuss with your child who will accompany him or her and make sure you are both comfortable with the choice.3. Accompany, or make sure a trusted adult accompanies, your younger children to the door of every home they approach. Become familiar with each home your child visits and the people who are providing Halloween treats to your children.
4. Teach your children to only enter homes with your prior permission and only approach homes that are well-lit both inside and outside.5. Teach your children to NEVER approach a vehicle unless they are accompanied by you, even if it appears no one is inside the vehicle.6. Make sure your children wear refl ective clothing and carry a fl ashlight or glow stick when traveling during the evening hours.7. Teach your children to always stay in well-lit areas, never take shortcuts, and never go into isolated areas.
Have a safe and fun Halloween!

A revealing look at fame and friendshipBy Jennifer LangA British box offi ce
phenomenon that charmed audiences around the world comes to the Surrey Little Th e-atre stage this week.
Calendar Girls is Tim Firth’s stage adaptation of the movie and true story of a group of mid-dle-aged women who pose nude for a calendar to raise money for a
worthy cause, earning them fame – and fraying friendships.
Th e story is set in Knapeley, Yorkshire, where Annie Clark has just lost her husband to cancer. Inspired by his speech to the local Women’s Institute, Clark (Halia Hirniak) and her best friend Chris (Sur-rey’s Margaret Shear-man) set out to make a fundraising calendar
that becomes an imme-diate sensation.
Directed by Simon Challenger of Maple Ridge, the SLT pro-duction stars a large ensemble cast, includ-ing Surrey’s Laurie Kortschak, and Melanie Minty, along with actors from Langley, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam and North Vancouver.
“Calendar Girls is a wonderful play about
relationships,” says Challenger. “It’s a story about friendship, love, tragedy and the ability of the human spirit to transcend adversity.”
Th e show is about so much more than the calendar and the pho-tographs, revealing how events can shape lives in ways never thought possible, Challenger says.
“Th ere are truths about the human con-dition that touch each and every character in this play and these truths are revealed to us
by the work of the won-derful cast,” he says. “Every actor in this cast has brought something special to their role.”
Calendar Girls runs Oct. 22 to Nov. 21, Th ursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m., along with three Sunday matinees Nov. 1, 8 and 15, at 2 p.m.
Tickets are half price on Oct. 22 and 23. See www.surrreylittlethe-atre.com for more info. Tickets at brownpa-pertickets.com or by calling 604-576-8451 or atreservations@surrey-
littletheatre.com.
Audition callSurrey Little Th eatre
is holding auditions for their upcoming winter production, Funny Little Th ing Called Love. Actors, stage hands and volunteers are all invited to come out Oct. 26 and 27 to fi nd out more about the production – and the 2015-2016 season.
Set to take the stage in early 2016, the play takes a humorous look at love, under a full
moon. It consists of four stories – directed by four diff erent directors – who are each making their directing debut aft er treading the boards of the SLT stage. Th ey’re working under the guid-ance of Helen Embury, an award-winning di-rector from Abbotsford.

By Jennifer LangLocal business leaders joined Surrey
Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux and Surrey city offi cials on a business walk through the historic town centre last week, dropping in at boutiques and retail outlets, from chocolatiers and med-ical uniform merchants to mid-century furniture stores and fl orists.
Th e walk was a chance to take the pulse of the small business community, which – just like in the rest of B.C. – represents the foundation of the economy.
October is Small Business Month in B.C., and as part of the celebra-tions, representatives from the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, Business Improve-ment Association, the City of Surrey and the area’s representative to Victoria set out
to listen to the concerns of local merchants and business owners – and identify com-mon themes for action.
Questions were meant to keep the visits conversational, while honing in on successes and obstacles facing the local business community.
“I really enjoy talking to local business owners and hearings their concerns and suggestions,” said Cadieux, who added the provin-cial government has been working to reduce red tape and move toward a more business-friendly regulatory environment.
“Small business has a gi-ant impact on our provincial economy and we want to promote prosperity and give ourselves a competitive edge.”
B.C. leads the country in small busi-nesses per capita, with 82.6 businesses per
1,000 people. Th e national average is 70.9.Small businesses represent 98 per cent
of all businesses in B.C., with about 81 per cent employing fewer than fi ve people.
“It’s undeniable that small business is the backbone of our economy and critical to the development of a strong and vibrant city,” said Donna Jones, Surrey’s Manager of Economic Development.
“Th erefore, it’s incumbent on all of us to not only understand the challenges faced by small business owners but to respond and help them with their challenges so they can focus on what they do best – business.”
A visit in person is still one of the best ways to connect with a small business, said Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale BIA, which represents more than 300 area businesses.
“Small Business Week takes on a greater meaning when an owner or manager gets a

Carolyn & John Findlay are the owners of the Cactus Station Woodworking & Fine Art Studio. A home-based studio
tucked away in Cloverdale in the Fraser Valley. Cactus Station is renowned for its exquisite setting, excellent light and its warm and friendly ambiance. In fact, many of the best artists call Cactus Station their second home! Carolyn and John strive to ensure all feel welcome and inspired: coffee, tea and afternoon snacks are always available.
John excels at creating paintable surface for the class room as needed. Trays, Lazy Susan’s, Tea Boxes, storage containers,
& many other wonderful wooden items suitable for the acrylic artist to paint. When he has time from the requests for the art studio John creates
beautiful boxes with exotic woods.
Carolyn’s love of art started an early age. Although she liked music lessons, she loved the art work on the front of the music sheets more! She would far rather sit with pencil & paper & draw what she saw on the music sheets then bang the bongos.
When her children were in high school Carolyn decided to apply for a formal Fine Art degree at Kwantlen Collage with enjoyable &
happy success.
Since that time Carolyn has taught through the Surrey Adult Continuing Education & the Surrey
Seniors Centers.
Carolyn has been a traveling teacher of many years teaching in church halls, day care rooms, hotel meeting rooms as well as many private homes.
Twenty one years ago Carolyn & John moved to Cloverdale & built a studio & a woodworking shop on their property. Carolyn enjoys teaching � ne canvas art & watercolours from her home studio while John build boxes, Lazy Susan’s & other wood surfaces for the acrylic decorative painting classes.
Carolyn still travels to art conventions throughout Canada & the USA, has a tutoring program for high school students & an educational program for anyone who wishes for in depth knowledge into the world of art.
Some of Carolyn’s credentials:
❙ Fine Art Degree from Kwantlen Collage❙ Certi� ed in with Boss Ross; Oils❙ Certi� ed with Susan Shewee; Watercolours❙ Certi� ed with David Jansen; Acrylics❙ Numerous classes with many prominent & well known private teachers.
❙ Carolyn is a long time member of the National Society of Decorative Painters, the Dogwood Decorative Artists Guild and a founding member of the Dragon� y Ladies Social Art Club.
Classes are available in water colour and acrylic are offered on a variety of surfaces such as canvas, fabric, stone, slate, gourds, glass,
ceramic and, of course, John’s wood creations.

17528 59TH AVENUE | SURREY | 778-373-0299 | BETHSHANGARDENS.ORGOWNED BY CLOVERDALE SENIORS CITIZEN HOUSING SOCIETY
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 � 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.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 � 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.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 � nishes
welcomed guests and dignitaries to the of� cial opening ceremonies a few months later. Over the next six 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 � 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-pro� 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. Modi� 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.
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.
