Kitchen on track
By Jennifer LangWalking into Cloverdale’s Paci� c
Community Church, it’s obvious something big is going on.
Along with the day-to-day hum of activity in meeting rooms and o� ces, there’s the occa-sional burst of saws and drills.
� en there’s the wall of plywood blocking o� a good section of the main foyer – it’s covered in photos and building plans, and a sign read-ing: Future Site of the Cloverdale Community Kitchen.
Behind the wall lays an ambitious communi-ty outreach project that’s been nearly a year in the making.
And, if all goes according to schedule, the new, commercial-grade community kitchen will be serving up its � rst hot meals by the end of November.
According to Alan Caldwell, di-rector of facilities, three di� erent church groups, including Paci� c
Community Church, were serving up 70 to 100 hot meals a week out of facilities that were completely inadequate.
Meals were prepared at homes or purchased from grocery stores,
a situation that was lim-iting and not cost-e� ec-tive.
But there’s no need to look at the plans and try to visualize the new space – a life-sized mock up using real compo-nents has been set up in the church’s roomy warehouse. It’s already possible to take a virtual tour.
� ere’s a professional dishwashing system, commercial grade oven, restaurant-grade stove
and grill, steamer, and 20-gallon soup still.
� ere’s also a cold storage area and pantry.
“It’s going to be a pretty good kitchen,” says Caldwell, who runs his own company, B.C. Condo Advocate – a project management
company for leaky condo cases – and who also designed the kitchen.
“We have all the equipment. We have everything here. We’re just waiting to get various approvals.

Poppy campaign gets underwayBy Jennifer LangSquinting in the bright a� ernoon sun-
light Tuesday Ken Marjoram settled in for his � rst shi� of the 2013 Poppy Campaign.
� e Second World War veteran served seven years with the British Royal Navy, signing up at 15, and seven more with the Merchant Marine Navy.
Marjoram is just one member of the dedicated team of volunteers who are sell-ing poppies for the Royal Canadian Legion

‘The gift that keeps on giving’of towels that were donated to a transition house.
“I call this the gift that keeps on giving.”Other donors have been just as generous, offering
up freebies on expensive items like a commercial grade food processor, for example.
Once the kitchen is complete, the project will need more support from the community in terms of food donations and volunteers willing to get in-volved.
Already, a specialty bread store has indicated it will donate surplus stock. He hopes other corporate partners will come forward.
The new kitchen will enhance existing soup kitchen initiatives based out of Pacific Community Church and lead to new programs initiated by the church – and from the wider community.
The renovations have temporarily halted the three weekly initiatives based out of Pacific Com-munity Church: The Korean Presbyterian Church’s Shepherd’s Inn Thursday noon lunch, and the Mon-day and Wednesday night cafes operated by Pacific Community Church and the Cloverdale Christian Fellowship respectively.
“We think that the clientele will come back very fast, because it is a grow-ing clientele, it’s not a di-minishing clientele. The homeless and the mar-ginalized, it’s growing in this area,” he said.
“We hope to get those programs up and run-ning and reestablished. But our dream is to reach out to other demographic groups such as seniors and single parents.”
That may involve in-viting seniors once a month for a meal and an educational series about networking or accessing community services.
“It’s the working poor and the growing num-ber of seniors,” he said. “There’s just a huge, growing population.”
A bulk buying coop-erative program is an-other idea, bringing costs down for people on fixed incomes.
For example, The church is already part of the Harvest Box bulk produce buying program, which sees 1,300 ham-pers of veggies and fresh produce go out every two
weeks.“This is called the Cloverdale Community Kitch-
en, so it’s all about maybe there’s other groups.”The push for a Community Kitchen all began
when the late Bill Reid of the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, along with Surrey RCMP, asked the church to house the soup kitchen after the former Cloverdale Mall was torn down, leaving the church groups running the soup kitchen and Clo-verdale’s Extreme Weather shelter without a home.
Three years ago, the city tore down the old Clo-verdale mall to make way for Cloverdale West Vil-lage, a multi-phase residential and commercial de-velopment.
The mall was home to the Shepherd’s Inn Soup Kitchen and Cloverdale’s extreme weather shelter, originally constructed thanks to combined efforts by the Surrey RCMP Cloverdale Chamber of Com-merce, Cloverdale BIA, Rotary Club, Cloverdale Christian Fellowship and the City of Surrey.
With the mall gone, the extreme weather shelter relocated to Cloverdale Christian Fellowship at 102-178802 66 Avenue. And the soup kitchen moved to Pacific Community Church at 5337 180 Street.

On a yearly basis, � e Royal Canadian Legion Cloverdale Branch 6 donates to the community. � e money is raised through the Gam-ing Fund, meat draws, and the Poppy Fund, all of which have speci c criteria for their distribution. � e Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 6 Clo-verdale has also contributed $12,627.

focus onwellness
The most reli-able way to prevent the � u is to take the � u shot togeth-er with adopting a healthy life style. The � u vaccine is manu-factured with the current year’s viral
strains and is designed to � ght the current year’s � u virus. In order to obtain the ap-propriate strains the manufacturer needs to wait till the fall when the current virus can be identi� ed and isolated before the vaccine can be produced. It is for this reason that the � u shot is available only in mid-October.
There are people who for one reason or another cannot take the � u shot. In this case, using herbal and homeopathic medi-cines may help to booster immunity so the body can � ght the � u bug when it invades the body. Herbal and homeopathic medi-cines are not proven scienti� cally and are not accepted by orthodox schools. I must emphasize that homeopathic � u prevention programs should be used in conjunction with the � u shot, or used as an alternative only when the � u shot is contra-indicated. I would never tell people that they can use the homeopathic program to substitute for
the � u shot. Misconception about homeo-pathic medicine and fear of the needle may compromise the population’s vaccination rate and herd immunity.
Herbal and homeopathic medicines de� nitely can be used as an adjunct to cut down the risk of getting sick. For 20 years I have seen homeopathics work repetitive-ly in humans and animals. Typically a ho-meopathic prevention program consists of taking Thymuline 9CH once a week for 5 weeks and In� uenzinum 9CH also once a week but on a different day of the week and also for 5 weeks. This should be commenced in the fall. Thymuline is made from the thy-mus gland (not thyroid gland), the organ responsible for producing immune bodies. Homeopathic Thymuline stimulates the thymus gland to produce the appropriate antibodies. In� uenzinum is made from the actual current year’s in� uenza vaccine. It is believed that minute doses of the vaccine may educate the body’s immune system to deal with the � u virus in case of an actual invasion by the virus. Homeopathic medi-cine is also known to reduce the side effects of vaccination. If you are concerned about side effects of vaccination take three little pills of Sulfur 30CH to be dissolved under the tongue once immediately before and
once immediately after the injection. This may minimize side effects.
A herbal complex called Esberitox® containing Echinacea, Thuya and Baptisa is one of the most popular over the counter medication in Germany. On the � rst symp-tom of the cold or the � u, chew 2 or 3 tab-lets every 3 to 4 hours until the symptoms are gone. Taking homeopathic anas barbar-iae hepatis et cordis 200 CH (Brand named Oscilloccinum®) one dose to be dissolved under the tongue three times daily has also shown remarkable ef� cacy in lessening and shortening the duration of the � u episode.
What do I do every year to � ght the � u? I take the � u shot as soon as it is available. I also take Thymuline 9CH and In� uenzinum 9CH once a week for 5 weeks. Then I have Esberitox and Oscillo on hand to be taken whenever I feel my neck tightens, my throat feels scratchy, or I get tired for no other reason. Was it the vaccine or the natural products that had protected me throughout the years? Honestly, I believe both of them have contributed to my health.

City opposes coal proposalBy Kevin DiakiwAbout 100 people
streamed into Surrey city council chambers Monday afternoon to express their objection to rail cars filled with coal traveling through Surrey.
The protest came as Fraser Surrey Docks is expected to soon release the results of an envi-ronmental impact as-sessment ordered by the port authority to further address public concerns about the project.
The terminal pro-poses to open a load-ing facility that would transfer coal coming by rail through White Rock and South Surrey to barges that would sail down the Fraser River and across the Strait of Georgia to Texada Is-land, where it would be transferred again to ocean-going ships.
Protesters said they’re not satisfied with as-surances from Fraser Surrey Docks that coal dust will be carefully controlled and won’t es-cape and pose a risk to human health.
Many also oppose in-creased exports of U.S. thermal coal to Asia on grounds it will acceler-ate climate change.
“Coal dust and diesel particular matter cause a lot of respiratory ill-ness and cancers” said Paula Williams, co-founder of the opposi-tion group Communi-ties and Coal. “There’s safety issues for people, there’s also emergency access cutoff.”
In all, the Commu-nities and Coal orga-nization has generated 11,000 online signatures on its petition against shipping coal by train to the U.S.
At just after 10 p.m., Surrey council voted unanimously to not support the Surrey Fra-ser Docks proposal and request Port Metro Van-couver to commission a comprehensive health impact assessment, con-ducted independently, as well as full public hearings on the project.
Surrey now joins New Westminster, White Rock, Langley and Van-couver in passing mo-tions either opposing expanded coal exports outright or calling for public hearings and comprehensive, inde-pendent review of im-pacts before a decision is made.
The Metro Vancouver Board of Directors vot-ed 21 to four to oppose outright the Fraser Sur-rey Docks project. Nu-merous MLAs and MPs have also written in op-position to the project.
On Sunday, more than 200 people dem-onstrated at a rally in New Westminster to register their opposition to expanded exports of coal through Port Met-ro Vancouver.
The new terminal would export up to four million tonnes of coal per year.
Although that’s much less than the coal ship-ments already exported through the region via
terminals at Deltaport and North Vancou-ver, opponents argue it could be a first step to-ward greatly increased shipments out of Surrey.
The final decision is the port’s but opponents hope intensifying pub-lic pressure and con-cerns lodged by some local city councils, the
Metro Vancouver board and the region’s medical health officers will kill the project.

Starting Nov. 15, with every $5 donation, retailer Urban Barn will donate a new fleece blanket to a homeless shelter in the com-munity. Locally, the blankets will be donated to Gateway Shelter.
The campaign runs to Dec. 8. Last year 8,000 blankets were
donated across Western Cana-da.

One more weekendThe Surrey Little Theatre has
added two more performances of its season opener – The Four-some, a comedy set on a golf course.
The Norm Foster play stars Brent Cross, John Tabek, Chris Carver, and Harry Pering as col-lege buddies who meet up before their class reunion for a game of golf.
As they make their way around the golf course, their facades start to unravel and their real life sto-ries begin to unfold, and with the telling of their stories, the lov-able, funny, real sides of these characters emerge.
It’s directed by Pat McDermott. The Foursome continues Oct.
25-26, and Nov. 1-2 at the Surrey Little Theatre, 7017 184 Street. Showtimes are 8 p.m.
Tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com, by email at [email protected], or by phone: 604-576-8451.

By Jennifer LangIt’s nearly time for the 6th annual
50-Hour Film Challenge, presented by Surrey Little Theatre.
Teams will pick up their inspira-tion package Friday, Nov. 8 at Surrey Little Theatre, then head off to write, shoot and edit a five-minute film that includes all the required surprise elements.
Three nights later on Nov. 10, teams bring their completed films back to compete for prizes, includ-ing $500 for best film. The prizes are awarded at a gala reception Nov. 15.
Anyone who would like to partici-pate is invited to put together a five person – or larger – team.
“The challenge is similar to the popular 48-hour film challenge formats with the addition of an extra two hours,” organizer Brigitte
Seib says. “The concept began five years ago as a new initiative during Surrey Little Theatre’s 50th season of live theatre.”
The inaugural film challenge was a huge success, launching a new au-tumn tradition, and presenting a new avenue for the community to express its creative side.
It’s an all-ages competition. Past filmmakers include teams with mem-bers as young as 12 years old, teams from local high schools and film schools, and even a band of thespians who learned the filmmaking process on the fly.
Early-bird registration ends Oct. 25. The registration deadline is Nov. 4. Rules and registration forms are
available at www.surreylittle theatre.com, or leave a message at 604-576-8451.

Farm hosts spooky tourBy Jennifer LangLights burn in the darkness at
Surrey’s historic Stewart Farm, giving the 1884 farmhouse a slightly otherwordly look in a photo taken during a recent visit.
On Oct. 17, members of the Vancouver Paranormal Society shared their discoveries at an evening talk at Stewart Farm, subject of a recent investigation at the house and grounds.
Among the revelations? The farm – while not declared haunt-ed – does show signs of unex-plained activity, according to so-ciety president Peter Renn.
Participants were invited to listen to audio clips and watch video footage taken at the house in August, indicative, perhaps, of phenomena that’s residual in nature, but not an active haunt-ing. The society hopes to return to collect more data.
Society members revealed how investigations are conducted, a process involving plenty of high-tech audio and video equipment, and hours and hours of raw ma-terial to painstakingly review for anomalies.
They aim to find logical expla-nations for what they uncover, and do not charge for investiga-tions.
Curiously, the team is fre-quently called out to new build-ings – residents are not always acquainted with the sounds of new construction settling in.
Surrey is a hotspot for the VPS’s investigations, but some of the most startling images shown that evening were taken in the saloon of one of B.C.’s oldest es-tablishments – the century-old Coalmont Hotel, a former min-ing hub in the Similkameen.
For more, visit vancouverpara-normalsociety.net.
The evening was presented by Surrey Heritage Services as part of its fall programming. For info, visit surrey.ca/heritage.

Which way to Northern Ireland?
Prior to departure, my friend, Lois Doell, warned
emphatically, “Be sure you have comprehen-sive coverage!” Losing a mirror, she assured me, was a primary tourist hazard when driving around Northern Ireland.
As a large van mir-ror parked on the left connected with my left passenger mirror in Ballycastle, I thought of her.
With what I found to be characteristically Irish cool courtesy and
concern, the van owner, interrupted from white-washing an old pub, sauntered over. “I won-dered about the sound,” he said. “You’re not to worry. We’ll sort it.”
Calling Dan Dooley Car Rentals he patiently explained we were both minus mirrors, and their client was falling apart.
Ballycastle, reminis-cent of a KCTS 9 film set, sadly got no more of my attention. Now ‘sorted’, I retreated back to the narrow, scenic, almost deserted (maybe
word travels fast in Ire-land) Causeway Coast route.
Wild. Blustery. Imposing. The ancient 60,000-year-old rocks
and cliffs brought me down to earth. Parking, I walked. Cold sea air filled my lungs. Reas-sured by the mystical terrain, I was reminded that one shattered mir-ror does not an earth-shattering disaster make.
By dinnertime at Bushmills Inn, Michael from Dan Dooley in Belfast (an hour and a half away) arrived to exchange the blue Toyota Corolla for a red Ford Focus (with two mirrors). “It’s smaller,”
he said, handing me a GPS.
The Game of Thrones cast, who were stay-ing at the Inn for night filming at nearby historic Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, glanced over in amusement.
County Antrim is home to Bushmills, Ireland’s oldest working distillery. Now seemed like the perfect time to relax before the fire and see if the brand lived up to its 400-year-old

reputation.It did.Reluctantly vacating
the four-poster bed in room 108, and with a grateful glance at the deep claw-footed tub, I checked out the follow-ing morning.
“You can’t get lost in Northern Ireland,” Matthew assured me at reception. “It’s all the
scenic route.”Fortunately, North-
ern Ireland is small, and - in spite of me – actu-ally easy to traverse. Red car, Miss. Recalcu-lating (the GPS), and I covered many miles, which eventually led us to Seamus Heaney country.
Magherafelt, in County Londonderry, is about an hour from anywhere in Northern
Ireland (unless you’re driving with me).
I’m a big fan of B&Bs, so Laurel Villa in this quaint village was right up my alley.
Owned by Eugene and Geraldine Kielt, Laurel Villa was bought by Eugene’s widowed mother as a revenue property when he was 11. Gradually ensuites were added to the five
bedrooms, upgrades implemented, and Eugene’s passion for poetry grew.
My room, The Pat-rick Kavanagh Room, reminds me of my childhood. Familiar dark wood furniture, copies of Kavanagh’s poetry, and a glimpse of the back garden. Downstairs a sitting room, study, and din-ing room comfortably invite exploration of books, poets’ pictures, and memorabilia.
Poet Seamus Heaney, winner of the 1995 No-bel Prize in Literature, grew up in the area. Well versed in history and genealogy, Eugene has crafted Heaney tours of the poet’s local haunts.
Armed with Heaney poems, Eugene reads Heaney works to me at locations described in verse – the river, the sports field next to the old cemetery, and a stop at the smithy to meet 95-year-old re-tired blacksmith Barney Devlin, Heaney’s inspi-ration for The Forge.
Of Heaney, Eugene’s admiration and affec-tion is clear. “He was a very kind man. I can’t believe he’s gone.”
Two American couples also staying at Laurel Villa tell me this is their second Laurel Villa Boutique Guest House “roots” visit. In addition to the warm Magherafelt welcome, they remarked that Northern Ireland was more affordable than the south, and equally worth exploring.
As I leave, Geraldine and I discover we are both Conways. Are we related? I’ll have to re-turn for one of Eugene’s genealogy research tours to find out.

CloverdalecelebratesHalloween
By Jennifer LangBalmy, dry weather drew a huge turnout
to last weekend’s Halloween Costume Pa-rade in Cloverdale. Hundreds of children and their families descended on Surrey Museum Plaza for the 13th annual event on Oct. 26, taking part in various crafts and activities before posing for a group photo and then heading out on an after-noon trick-or-treating excursion through the historic town centre.
While more than 800 children crowded into the plaza for the photo, the Surrey Museum counted over 1,100 visitors for its Pumpkin Power event held in conjunction with the parade, one of the largest ever.
Some merchants ran out of candy before the tides of costumed children abated Sat-urday afternoon, forcing proprietors like Adrian Clements of Timeless Treasures Antiques to offer free second-hand comics like Archie and Peanuts as an alternative.
The Clova Cinema ran out of the 250 free movie passes they were handing out, but late-comers didn’t go away empty-handed: they were treated with lollipops instead.
The event is presented by the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce and the Cloverdale Business Improvement Asso-ciation.

Chilly winter temps not pet friendly
The sun is still shining, but the chilly temperatures are a sign that winter is approaching. At this
time of year, BC SPCA constables across the province begin responding to more frequent calls
about animals being left outdoors in freezing temperatures, with little or no protection from the
elements. While the SPCA responds to countless cases where animals are in serious distress after being deliberately neglected outdoors, even well-loved family pets can become sick or injured in harsh weather. Here are some simple tips to keep your
pet healthy and happy this winter:
Antifreeze can be a deadly winter hazard for pets, who � nd the taste appealing. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is extremely toxic to pets and wildlife — a mere tablespoon is enough to kill a cat or
small dog. Ensure you are using pet-safe, propylene-based antifreeze, which you will � nd at automotive supply stores if you’re adding it yourself, or you can ask your mechanic for it if you’re having your vehicle professionally winterized.
Road salt is toxic if ingested and can also irritate dogs’ paws. When outside with your dog, pay special attention to where he’s walking and ensure you wipe his paws thoroughly after walks and play to remove any salt. (The SPCA recommends using pet-friendly, non-corrosive de-icing compounds.)
Ice can also cut your dog’s paws — watch your dog closely for signs he may be injured during exercise, and check for cuts and sores after exercise.
Cats and wild animals have been known to seek warmth inside the motor compartment of vehicles during winter. Make it a habit to thump the hood of your car before starting it to chase away
any animals who may be hiding inside.
The BC SPCA is strongly opposed to keeping pets outside, particularly in cold temperatures. If you must leave your animal outside for short periods, ensure that he or she has an appropriate shelter that is elevated o� the ground and insulated. It should also be regularly cleaned and cleared of any environmental debris. The outdoor shelter should also be appropriate to the weight and coat of the animal; he or she must be able to sit, stand, lie down and turn around freely and easily. Your dog must also have access to potable water at all times so check regularly to ensure that the water in the dish is not frozen.
Visit spca.bc.ca for more information on winter safety tips.– Lorie Chortyk is General Manager, Community Relations, for the BC SPCA.Lorie Chortyk is General Manager, Community Relations, for the BC-SPCA

Small Business
In the past 12 months, a handful of new busi-nesses have opened up in Cloverdale’s historic downtown.
Consider the two blocks of 176 Street between 58 and 56A streets, where the number of empty storefronts has dwindled as new additions like a boutique-style pub, several funky antiques and col-lectibles stores, the local MLA and even a paintball supply store have taken up shop.
� ere have been some losses: Cloverdale land-mark Dann’s Electronics closed down in January when Allan Dann retired at age 88, and a small supermarket that supplied residents and businesses alike is gone – but overall the picture is looking as healthy as it’s been in years.
As Small Business Month in B.C. comes to a close, you can’t help but think Cloverdale’s down-town is on an upward swing.
Most small businesses employ fewer than � ve employees, but when it comes to the B.C. economy, they do some heavy li� ing.
Small businesses represent 98 per cent of all
businesses in the province, so it’s no surprise that a healthy Main Street is greeted as encouraging news by people like Ben Wevers, interim executive direc-tor of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce.
Wevers says there’s a palpable sense of optimism along Cloverdale’s 176 Street, the heart of the his-toric town centre’s business district.
“� ere’s a very brand new vibe on the street,” Wevers says. “You can feel it in the air.”
Business inquiries are up at Destination Clover-dale, the 176 Street headquarters of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and the Cloverdale Busi-ness Improvement Association, a � rst stop for visi-tors sizing up opportunities.
“People are coming into the Chamber asking about storefronts,” says Wevers. “What Paul (Ora-zietti of the Cloverdale BIA) and I are trying to do is steer them to the right people.”
He notes the former grocery store up the street is being renovated to accommodate several new busi-nesses.
See MAIN STREET / page 15
Buying locally is not only bene� cial for local business owners, but buying locally bene� ts consumers and members of the community in a number of ways. • Creates jobs• Helps the environment• Creates a more closely knit community • Is more convenient• Benefi ts your local economy The reasons for shopping locally are many. In addition to helping local business owners, consumers who shop locally are also helping themselves.
Supporting local businesses is a great way for consumers to fi nd the products and services they’re looking for and help their local economy along the way.

The store started as a “Craft” store but after a good customer introduced the partners to rubber stamps the business evolved and slowly the focus turned to rubber
stamps and accessories. We have a large selection of wooden, cling & acrylic stamps from many of the
popular designers. We also carry a wide assortment of scrapbooking & stamping supplies, such as cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, stickers, adhesives,
Embellishments, embossing powders, glitter, envelopes, albums, ink pads, dies and embossing folders.
We offer a wide variety of classes conducted by a top notch group of instructors utilizing many interesting and unique techniques. We offer a large selection of
products at competitive prices and very friendly service, especially from Taffy & Bella, Sandy’s Yorkies who will greet you at the door.
We are also proud to support our local talent such as Deanna Pannell, designer of Dee’s Distinctively Dies, Glitter Ritz and Art Stamps and
Dianna Krick, designer of the Scor-Pal & Scor-buddy.
Country Lane � rst evolved as a craft store in July 1998, with 3 partners.
Two of the partners have since retired and the store is now owned by
Maggie Andrew & Sandy Barker.
From page 13
Main Street RevivalHe’s also thrilled with news
that the owners of The Vault Restaurant are opening up a second restaurant in Clover-dale two blocks to the south.
Co-owner Aaron Hotell said the location – near High-way 10 – was irresistible, and explains Cloverdale is a natu-ral for investment. It’s accessi-ble as a destination, affordable in terms of investment, and home to a growing population of residents in their 30s and 40s – people who are used to a more urban lifestyle.
Dramatic residential growth in the area has spurred interest from entre-preneurs, says Wevers, who adds established merchants and other movers and shakers are taking note, too.
Newly-elected Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux deliberately located her constituency office in the historic centre to be close to the action.
And this month, Janet de Brouwer of Love Those Shoes moved her store into the Bank of Montreal building at the southeast corner of 176 Street and 57 Avenue – across from another new establishment, The Henry Public House, one of a string of boutique-style pubs operated by Langley-based Joseph Richard Group.
“To me, that creates a new vibe in the whole corridor,” says Wevers, who points out
even B.C. Cabinet Minis-ter Minister Shirley Bond remarked on Cloverdale’s appeal when she was at the opening of Cadieux’s office.
“You don’t see anything like that anywhere else in the province,” the Prince George area representative told him.
“Cloverdale is a gem,” he says. “We are not a big box area and we will never be.”
Things are looking good one block east on 176A Street, too. “Even their storefronts are almost all full.”
With all this good news, there is a hitch, however, and that’s that public trans-portation is lagging behind demand in the area. Lobby-
ing and acting as a voice for business to senior levels of government is one of the roles of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, which rep-resents about 400 business, from as far away as 152 Street and Highway 10 to Clayton Crossing at 188 and Fraser Highway.
Wevers hopes the arrival of businesses like Retro Mod, the Bower Bird Stop, The Abode, and Timeless Trea-sures Antiques signal a return to Cloverdale’s former heyday as the Antique Capital of B.C., a title that has been usurped by places like Fort Langley.
The past year has also seen MAIN STREET / See page 16
Even B.C. cabinet minister Shirley Bond, centre, is impressed by the unique character of Cloverdale’s historic downtown. She’s pictured here speaking with Ben Wevers of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce at the official opening of local MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s new downtown office on 176 Street.

“from our family to your family since 1974”
the addition of two important new heritage attractions – the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum and the launch of passenger operations on the restored heritage Interurban out of Cloverdale Station, a replica of the original 1910 B.C. Elec-tric Railway hub.
It’s operated by volun-teers from the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, who have just wrapped up a successful inaugural season, drawing visitors from across the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the B.C. interior and beyond.
Success stories are to be found in venues of smaller scope, too: Wevers points to another new business, Create-it Emporium, an arts and crafts studio specializing in paint-your-own pottery and more. The studio has rapidly become a favourite birthday party venue with the under 12 set – and the cocktail crowd. It celebrates its one-year an-niversary on Nov. 1.
“Here is somebody who came into the area not know-ing how they would do, and she’s very happy about mov-ing into the area.”
Small businesses, he says,
aren’t for the faint-of-heart. But they are the lifeblood of a community.
“You’re taking a chance, you’re sticking your neck out,” he says.
When construction finally begins on Cloverdale West Village, the long-promised residential and commercial redevelopment project of the old Cloverdale Mall site, another piece of the puzzle in revitalizing downtown Clo-verdale will fall into place.
“I’m really, really look-ing forward to 2014,” says Wevers. “I think it’s going to be a good year in the area.”

“I am very grateful for the support and positivity from all our customers, they are truly the beating heart of this restaurant” John.
Thirty-�ve years ago, chef John Ikonomou opened his �rst restaurant in Steveston. Much has changed and now with the entire family’s involvement in Galini, his “newest” restaurant gains depth from a variety of skills and years of expertise. Yet some things stay the same - the cooking is still from scratch with fresh ingredients at an affordable price point. It resonates with the family’s upbringing on the Mediterranean, where food is full of �avour from aromatic herbs, pure olive oil and lemon marinates. Although Greek in heritage, Galini has molded itself as a core community member, whose menu offers the variety people seek.
Eight years ago, Galini sought to raise the bar and prove independent local restaurants are key in area’s social cohesion. Yet effort does not stop at the food. Hardworking & friendly staff and Galini’s warm interior have added up to what the family feels is their greatest accomplishment. In return, the community has accepted Galini with open arms,
Many thanks from everyone at Galini!

Bosley’s Pet Food Plus
Business is “pawsome!”
Hard work and dedication, an amazing team, connecting to our customers and the support
of the community has made our first year and a half of business incredible.
The inspiration for Tara and husband Tim Robert’s decision to start their family business was their dog Maggie, a 10-year old Cockapoo. They were always having to venture outside of their community to find good products for her. Bosley’s is a family
operation, run by Tara, which employs son Riley, Alexis, (manager), as well as their newest employee, Jordan, a trained veterinary assistant who is going to start doing nail trimming on site. Their daughter Aimee loves to come into the store to help as well.
Tim and Tara live in Cloverdale with their kids, 2 dogs and cat who was adopted at the store. When opening their business, the Roberts did not want to operate like a “big box” store, but one where neighbors and their pets can visit to shop, get advice, or just enjoy a treat.
Tara is especially proud of their commitment to the environment. All of their returned food/products are donated, and they are downsizing their paper/flyer program and focusing on e-flyers.
Primarily, they are commited to customer service. If you are in need of a special order item that they don’t currently have, they’ll bring it in.
The store carries a fantastic selection of food and supplies for cats, dogs, small animals, fish and birds, but Tara is constantly sourcing
new products to keep customers happy. It is store policy to price match competitors pricing and accept their coupons as well as offer savings through their VIP program. And seniors receive special pricing the first Tuesday of each month.
Tara and her staff have made themselves very knowledgeable about your pet’s nutritional needs, and they are there for you. Together, you can tailor fit your animal’s individual needs based on your pet’s health, age, and your budget. One of the most common questions is “is this the right food for my pet?” Don’t worry, Tara and her staff can help!
Giving back to the Community.Part of the fun of being a Cloverdale Business is the Community Events! They are proud members of the Chamber of Commerce, and enjoyed participating in the Rodeo Parade, Blueberry Festival, hosted a post to support the Clova Cinema’s recent “Amazing Race” fundraiser. In the past year and a half they’ve donated time and money to organizations such as the SPCA and SARS. Currently they are focusing on SALI, Urban Safari Rescue and TLC.
Come visit them to see the newest arrivals of cats through their association with TLC. Helping people to become a happy and responsible pet owner is another way that Bosley’s is involved in the community.
They want to thank the community of Cloverdale and all of their customers for their continued support and patronage and invite new and established pet owners to come in and become part of the family at Bosleys! They are planning on having lots of holiday specials coming up for the season and their 2nd annual photos with Santa will be on Sunday, December 8th.

Over 15 years ago, Andrea’s first dog (a Wheaten Terrier named Rocky) was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.The prognosis and treatment from a conventional veterinarian was a lifetime of steroids and vet prescribed “diet”. They both believed there was a better way and sought the adviceof a holistic practitioner who brought Rocky from near death to fully thriving to the point of becoming symptom free. That was the beginning of Andrea’s journey to learn as much asshe could about raw dog food, holistic pet care and alternative treatments for conditions that ail so many pets.
