cloverdale reporter, february 24, 2016

By Lauren CollinsCloverdale’s Arts and Entertainment Association hopes to

make downtown Cloverdale more of a destination.Th e new association wants to promote the arts and enter-

tainment in Surrey’s oldest town centre.Both Paige Hardy and David Chemago, the association’s

secretary and vice-president respectively, described Clover-dale as having a “small-town feel.”

“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 hop-ing to make downtown Cloverdale more like other small

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

Th ose communities, Hardy says, have been very successfulat it.

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

WEEKPainting a straight linePainting a straight line along a textured ceiling can be a challenge. A simple solution is to run a screwdriver along the perimeter of the ceiling to scrape off the texture. This will create a tiny ridge that the brush bristles will follow and allow you to paint a straight line with out getting paint on the ceiling.


By Lauren CollinsAs reported a few weeks ago,

work has begun on Clayton North Secondary School’s park-ing lot.

According to Doug Strachan, the Surrey Schools communica-tion services manager, the cap-ital project cost for the school - including design and construc-tion - is $55,170,850.

Construction work, which be-gan in the beginning of January is expected to fi nish in 2018.

Strachan added the district “anticipates occupancy for Sep-tember 2018.”

Th e new secondary school’s capacity will be 1,500 students which is the projected need for the area when the school is com-pleted.

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

Th e projected capacity could change in the couple of years in takes to build a school. Th is could mean schools are at capac-ity aft er a few years or at capacity on opening.

Two examples of this are; Katzie Elementary, which opened in April 2014, and had fi ve new portables added before the new school year in Septem-ber 2015; and Hazelgrove El-ementary which opened with portables already on the prop-erty.

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 commu-nities. Clayton is expected to see about 16,000 new residents in the next 30 years.

Unfortunately, as Strachan told Th e Reporter, “You can’t build yourself a buff er.”

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 Communi-ties,” which are pods that feature several learning “studios,” break-out space, collaboration space and an “exploration lab.”

Th e Learning Communities are much larger than typical classrooms with walls that can move. Th e design is meant for more fl exibility in learning.

Th e pods will be “more trans-parent, open spaces” with win-dows, said Strachan.

Th e school has MADD (Music, Art, Drama and Dance) studios, TED (Technology, Engineering and Design) labs, discovery labs, learning commons with Maker-spaces, a multi-purpose gather-ing space and two gyms.

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

Makerspaces are not just sci-ence labs, woodshops, computer labs or art rooms, but can con-tain elements from all of those including such as prototyping, woodworking, electronics, ro-botics, digital fabrication, tex-tiles and sewing.

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

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

Th is is all in support of the new curriculum which is all about big ideas and exploring those ideas.

Flexible design meant to support new curriculum and to promote collaboration among students and teachers

Have you ever thought, “If only I was slim-mer, 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 fi nd that no matter

what hurdle you encounter, you will always fi nd 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.Th ere are so many people that are lost and

without direction. Th ey 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.

Th ose that you touch, touch others, and so on and so on. . .

residents are among the most likely in the province to follow the right steps when work-ing with an advisor for RRSPs.

With the RRSP dead-line next Monday (Feb. 29), the BC Securities Commission (BCSC) released a report about the province’s investors.

Th e commission is encouraging investors to make smarter deci-sions and learn more about the role they play when working with an investment advisor, ac-cording to a press re-lease.

Th e study found that only 43 per cent of British Columbians 35 years and older have in-vestments, but only 27 per cent of them invest through an investor.

“We’re encouraged to see how many inves-tors acknowledge their responsibilities, but we need to bridge the gap between what people know they should do and what they actu-ally do,” said Pamela McDonald, director, Communications and Education of the Brit-ish Columbia Securities Commission.

Th e new report shows

that 90 per cent of the investors trust their advisors, but that trust also keeps the investors from asking the right questions, checking their advisor’s back-ground and researching their investments.

A few other statistics are: 74 percent of B.C. investors don’t ask their advisor about com-pensation, 63 per cent

of B.C. investors don’t consistently read their statements and 36 per cent don’t feel the need to understand invest-ment risks.

Some tips to help British Columbians be-come better investors are: ask your advisor about fees and how they are compensated; check your advisor’s registra-tion to ensure they are

licensed to sell you a recommended invest-ment; research invest-ments recommended by your advisor so you full understand what you are putting your mon-ey into; and understand the degree of risk you are willing to take and how much you can af-ford to lose.

By Kevin DiakiwSurrey’s taxes are going up by almost $90, as the

city has given early endorsement to its fi ve-year fi -nancial plan.

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

As Th e 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 house-hold – bringing the levy to $128 for next year.

Th e levy was introduced in 2007 as a temporary fi ve-year measure. It has not only remained, but in-creased by one per cent annually since then.

Th e 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 fi ve-year fi nancial plan, council aimed to hike property taxes by 2.9 per cent this year. Th e 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 aft er the election in 2014 will also remain in place this year.

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

project.Finance committee chair Tom Gill has consis-

tently 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 signif-icant.

It’s the fi rst year Surrey will pay for a full year of newly hired RCMP offi cers. Th e cost for that alone will be $15 million.

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

In addition, Surrey is hiring four more bylaw of-fi cers and another senior position at the Surrey Fire Department.

Th e Surrey Board of Trade said it’s cautiously op-timistic about the budget endorsed last week.

“As the independent voice of business we do re-quest that the city reduce the new higher, property tax rate at the earliest possible opportunity to main-tain Surrey’s competitive status for business attrac-tion in the region,” the SBOT wrote in a letter to council.

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

SPCA seizure at Surrey facility

Two ‘distressed’ cats euthanized following mas-sive SPCA seizure at Surrey property

By Tracy HolmesOffi cials with Surrey SPCA say one

cat and one kitten in “critical distress” had to be euthanized late Feb. 16 fol-lowing a massive seizure of 82 animals from a breeding/boarding facility.

Th e 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 offi cer for the BC-SPCA 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 aft er.

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

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

Th e seized cats were primarily Per-sians 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 Rus-sell 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 propo-nents advertise having 20 years’ expe-rience in foster care and breeding, a large enclosed garden and 38 rooms.

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

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

Th e SPCA investigation is ongoing.Moriarty said the seizure is “abso-

lutely” among the society’s largest.Other signifi cant cases in recent

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

In August, offi cers seized 57 ani-mals – 35 dogs, 16 horses and six cats – from a South Cloverdale property following complaints of animal ne-glect. Moriarty said that case is among “a ton” of fi les still before the Crown and in which charges have been rec-ommended by the SPCA.

HELP for HAY FEVER and ALLERGY SYMPTOMS

Pascallerg Tablets:• Homeopathic remedy• Safe for use in all ages• Effective for hayfever and other allergies• Safe to use with other medications and medical conditions

In the spring, “April showers bring May � owers”…AND Itchy eyes, itchy noses, itchy palates, runny noses, sneezing, nasal congestion and even dif� culties 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 � ow 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 dif� cult 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 hyper-reactive. This is the � rst 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 over-reaction to foreign substances. Thymuline and Pascallerg are non-speci� c and can be useful in many types of allergic reactions, not just hayfever. Quercetin is a dietary � avonoid with antioxidant and anti-in� ammatory 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-in� ammatory 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 in� ammation is a part of the allergic response, quality omega-3 supplements such as OMEGAGENICS 720, SEALICIOUS, or NUTRASEA are useful for their anti-in� ammatory 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 bene� ts. The most effective approach is a multi-faceted approach. Start about 4-5 weeks before your allergies typically � are 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 Associa-tion 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.Th e Market Days run from May until September

on the last Saturday of each month.Th is 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. Th is year, they’re planning to have food trucks and more local art and artisans.

In regards to the food trucks, Hardy says the as-sociation 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 Coff ee 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.”

“Th e bigger the events become, the more struc-ture you have to have in place; fl aggers for the road closure and signage,” he added.

Th e community reaction to the new Arts and En-tertainment Association has been great as well.

“I had a customer in the store, who’s an actual

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

Th e museum and library have also been support-ive of the Market Days over the years, but the asso-ciation is hoping to work with a bunch of diff erent groups.

“We want to involve the whole community of Cloverdale . . . We want this to be the town centre. Th is is the focal point - 176 Street - but we’re invit-ing all of Cloverdale to participate,” Hardy says.

Because the Arts and Entertainment Associa-tion wants Cloverdale to be more inclusive, they’re working on more entertainment for the communi-ty.

Th e association is hoping to get a community pi-ano for the summer through the City of Surrey. So far, a location hasn’t been decided.

Th ey’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 pro-ceeds get put back into marketing and entertain-ment.

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

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

Th e 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 start-ed last year, but didn’t fall into place now, says Hardy.

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

The plan has been in the works for years and will take place over the next six months as residential bed open upBy Jeff NagelFraser Health will

close 80 hospital beds across the region this spring as it simultane-ously opens up hun-dreds of new residential care beds and embarks on a long-awaited shift of aging patients out of hospitals and back into local communities.

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

“Th is will hap-pen over the next six months,” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said. “As those res-idential care beds come available, we’ll be able to

move people into them and slowly the reduc-tions will happen.”

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

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

Fraser offi cials hope

the shift into the com-munity will ultimately mean better, more ap-propriate care for those patients, as well as fewer people clogging hospital beds and less ER con-gestion.

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

Juma maintained the region will see a net in-crease in combined res-idential 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.

Th e 400 new resi-dential complex care beds opening are split between four projects in Coquitlam, Port Co-quitlam, Surrey and White Rock at a cost of $34.5 million to Fraser.

Fraser has long pur-sued 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

aft er the health region repeatedly failed to stay within its budget.

“Care in the com-munity is certainly less expensive than hospital care,” Juma acknowl-edged. “Th e long-term benefi t is we will see those gains in the fu-ture.”

B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Dute-il opposes the plan to close beds, saying hos-pitals are already heav-ily congested before the planned shift in re-sources.

“Last week we saw a record high number of patients waiting for beds in wards,” Dute-il said. “Some patients were waiting in the ER for upwards of four

hours just to be triaged. Th at is not safe patient care.”

She questioned whether enough nurses are working in commu-nity 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 en-sure the support in the community is there be-fore we start reducing those bed numbers.”

Fraser Health’s latest report card shows the region continues to far underperform its tar-gets on how long pa-tients stay in hospital as well as key measures of ER congestion.

Hospital bed cuts as care homes open

Surrey RCMP focus on prolifi c off enders In January, 21 prolifi c offenders were arrested because of the new enhanced focus and highly analytical approach

Local criminals might be having a diffi cult time these days and it might have to do with the Surrey RCMP’s focus on prolifi c off end-ers.

An enhanced focus of targeting prolifi c of-fenders through a highly analytical approach has led to 21 arrest in January alone.

Th ese arrests were primarily for breaching their conditions of release or probation, or a variety of other off ences 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 fo-cus has allowed front-line police offi cers to spend more time proactively patrolling in the community.

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

approach we are taking to address prolif-ic off enders has been high successful,” said Community Services Offi cer, Superinten-dent Shawn Gill in a press release.

As a part of the Surrey RCMP’s commit-ment to crime reductions and community safety, this specialized process targeting pro-lifi c off enders was created last fall.

To target these prolifi c off enders, the RCMP uses crime analysts as a way to iden-tify the prolifi c off enders, then use their targeted enforcement teams to focus on the off enders.

“As effi ciencies are created through this highly analytical work, our patrol offi cers 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 partner-ship with the Surrey RCMP works in closely with health, housing, income assistance, so-cial and educational service providers and corrections to address community problems before they become policing problems.

Pickton pens a bookThe Amazon-published narrative angers victims’ families, gov’t

By Kevin DiakiwAft er a swift and stinging re-

sponse, including a 38,000-name online petition, Amazon has stopped selling a book written by serial killer Robert “Willie” Pick-ton.

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

Pickton has written a book called “Pickton: In his own words,” and was available on Am-azon 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 profi t from the killings.

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

By Monday aft ernoon, Ama-

zon had pulled the book from its list of off erings.

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

Pickton, 66, is serving a life sentence for the second-degree murder of six women from Van-couver’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.

Th e 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 Jan-et Henry used to go to Pickton’s farm and went missing in 1997.

“It really disgusts me knowing that the worst serial killer in his-

tory has the nerve to write that book and re-open wounds,” she told CBC News.

On Monday morning, B.C.’s Public Safety Minister and Solic-itor General Mike Morris said in a statement his offi ce was appeal-ing to Amazon to stop selling the book.

“We are taking this very se-riously and investigating every means available to ensure that the families involved are protect-ed from further harm and that Robert Pickton will not profi t 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 profi t from his behaviour.”

B.C. does not have a laws pro-hibiting people from profi ting by publishing a book about their crimes. Th e province is now con-sidering enacting such legislation

-with fi les from CBC News

New regulationsTh e B.C. government

is adopting new regula-tions to require dog and cat breeders to meet na-tional standards for their care.

Regulations are ex-pected to take eff ect in 2017, based on the Ca-nadian Veterinary Med-ical Association’s code

of practice, along with a breeder licensing or reg-istration system. Th ey will require daily clean-ing of pens, minimum space for each animal depending on its size, and veterinary care for dogs and cats that are sick, injured or in pain.

A registration system would allow animal inspectors to inspect

premises, rather than wait for public com-plaints about poor con-ditions that currently result in about 200 in-vestigations per year.

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

B.C. residents.“Th ese events have re-

ally reinforced the pub-lic’s desire for the licens-ing and inspection of dog and cat breeders, to prevent the kind of suf-fering we have witnessed in the last few weeks,” Daniell said.

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

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOAdaptated from the novel Moc Zemlie by Janko Matko, Stolen Path is a romantic histori-cal drama set in 19th century feudal Croatia. The fi lm follows Victoria (played by Daniela Smitlener), an engaged heiress as she falls for a peasant boy Matthew (played by Jacob Brkopac).

By Lauren CollinsA romantic historical drama is the latest project for Clo-

verdale’s John Banovich, who is the director and one of the producers of a new movie, Stolen Path.

Th e fi lm, 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 fi lm’s synopsis, “When otherwise-en-gaged heiress Victoria falls for strong-willed peasant boy Matthew, their passionate, clandestine aff air results in a rip-ple eff ect 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 nov-el as a “required reading, almost.”

Banovich is an award-winning director who has fi lmed 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 nu-

merous fi lm festivals around the world.Banovich worked with the writer and executive-producer,

Goldie Smitlener on Stolen Path.Th ough 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.Aft er that, Banovich and Smitlener did a

full edit on the script and re-shot most of the fi lm back in the Lower Mainland, but still used some of the shots from Croatia.

Th ey began fi lming 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 grand-ma who cared for everyone on set.”

Smitlener, whose children once attended Cloverdale Cath-olic School, found inspiration for the fi lm at the age of 15 aft er reading Moc Zemlie. See LOVE STORY / Page 13

Now 69, Smitlen-er said the story and themes stuck with her for the next 50 or so years.

“I always thought that it would make a won-derful fi lm,” Smitlener said.

“Th ere was an at-tempt some 20 years ago to make a movie of the book, but it did not materialize. so, I decid-ed that I’d do it myself.”

She said her grand-daughter 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 fe-male protagonist, Vic-toria.

Aft er buying the rights to the book, Smi-tlener spent several months breaking down the book and adapting the story to a screenplay structure.

Th is was her fi rst script, but she “knew the story well and how best to tackle it.”

Smitlener said she made the fi lm without any of the regular pro-vincial funding bod-ies 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 sil-ver screen myself.”

She said she wanted tell the story because she “fi rmly believes that the word ‘love’ is so mis-used in our society, that it has lost its true mean-ing.

She describes Stolen

Path’s period as a “sim-pler time when love was everything.”

“Even in making the picture, it was love that conquered all the chal-lenges 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 fi lm.

“It impressed the heck out of me,” he said.

Smitlener was 67

when it all started and she wanted to show that her generation “can and should still be produc-tive.”

“When people learn that I went off and made a real feature-length movie without years of industry experience, they’re fl abbergasted by my persistence and amazed at the fi nal product.”

Banovich said Stolen Path has received a lot of recognition.

“It’s a real surprise. Th at golden nugget sur-prise.”

So far, Stolen Path has received awards and recognition around the world including ‘Best Actress’ nod at Toron-to World International Film Festival and plat-inum for a feature fi lm at the International Stu-dent and Newcomer in

Jakarta, Indonesia.As for what’s next for

Smitlener: “Sell Stolen Path. Th e fi lm is in the can, and we’re all really pleased with it . . . As for the future, I’ve got one more fi lm in me - - ex-cept this time, I’ll know exactly what I’m getting myself into.”

Care kits for Syrian refugeesKwantlen students create C.A.R.E. Kits to help the recent refugees in the Lower Mainland

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.Th e Kwantlen Polytechnic University students have created the C.A.R.E

(Community, Aid & Relief Eff orts) kits as a part of their practicum and online business.

Th e 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 benefi t others positively, instead of marketing yet another product in a saturated world,” said Wiebe in a press release.

C.A.R.E Kits off er 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.

Th e 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 busi-ness 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.Aft er the team pays back the $200 and subtract their inventory expenses from

their profi ts, the remaining money goes toward the Kwantlen Bachelor of Busi-ness administration in Marketing Management (BBAMM) Scholarship Fund.

Awards night to honour local businesses

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

Th e Clovies is an event meant to honour and cele-brate business excellence in the community.

Th e idea for the Clovies started around spring and summer of last year. Th e Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce fi gured 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.

Th e 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 nomi-nate any business - including their own - that has a business license for Cloverdale. Nominated business-es don’t have to be a member of the chamber of com-merce.

Th e categories are: Business Excellence under 18 Employees, Business Excellence 18 and Over Em-ployees, Bill Reid Memorial Business Person of the Year, Green Business of the Year, New Business of the Year, Not-For-Profi t of the Year and Young Entrepre-neur of the Year.

Some of the submission guidelines are; in the event

of a nominee receiving multiple category nomina-tions, the nominee must choose a specifi c category; Th ere will be a limit of three fi nalists for each catego-ry; Ties are not permitted - there must be an outright winner in each category; People may nominate multi-ple businesses, but each nomination must be in a dif-ferent category; and the nominee (or their represen-tative) must be present at the Clovies Awards Night.

In the Cloverdale area there are more than 1,700 businesses, including home-based businesses, ac-cording to a City of Surrey business license list.

Th ere will be nine judges in total who are employed in the Clovies Committee.

Th e committee looked at external judges, but de-cided that “rather than integrate external judges” it would be best to go with the committee, according to McKay.

Completed nomination forms may be received by mail or drop-off to the Cloverdale Chamber of Com-merce (5748 176 Street); by fax at 604-576-3145; or by email at [email protected].

Th e deadline for submissions is Th ursday, March 3 by 5 p.m.

A questionnaire will then be sent to the nominee which must be completed and sent to the chamber of commerce by March 11.

The start of a new year means many British Columbians make resolutions to improve themselves or their habits in 2016, whether that’s eating healthier, exercising more, setting work-related goals or aiming to be more environmentally friendly.For B.C.’s animal lovers, here’s some suggestions for 2016:1. Get outside. Get yourself and your dog(s) o� the couch and into the outdoors. Most dogs need walking at least twice daily to stay healthy and you will bene� t too. If you don’t have a dog, why not volunteer to walk dogs at your local shelter?2. ID your pet and register. The SPCA reunites thousands of lost animals with their families every year, but many animals are never claimed because they have no ID. Ensure your pets have identi� cation tags on their collar and a microchip or ear tattoo, register them with the BC Pet Registry at bcpetregistry.ca and keep the contact information updated.3. Get engaged! Be in the know when it comes to animal welfare news and how you can make a a di� erence for animals in need. Sign up for the BC SPCA’s monthly Anim@ls e-newsletter at spca.bc.ca/animals, or like the BC SPCA’s Facebook page.4. Shop with animals in mind. From easy walk harnesses to pet � rst aid kits and window decals that help wild birds avoid hitting your windows, there are plenty of items in the BC SPCA’s online store for animals and animal lovers. Visit shop.spca.bc.ca.5. Adopt an animal. If you are considering getting a new pet make the BC SPCA or another animal shelter your � rst adoption option. Avoid buying pets from online sites — you may be supporting puppy mills by buying this way.6. Make humane food

choices. Commit to purchasing foods raised according to high standards of animal welfare. Look for SPCA Certi� ed products in the meat and dairy sections of your grocery store. You can � nd out where to buy SPCA Certi� ed products at spcacerti� ed.ca. 7. Bake a di� erence. Take part in National Cupcake Day on Feb. 29 and help end animal cruelty one cupcake at a time. The money you raise baking and distributing cupcakes by donation will help the BC SPCA rescue, re-home and provide emergency services for injured and abandoned animals in B.C. Get involved by registering online at nationalcupcakeday.ca. 8. Sign up for the BC SPCA Kids Club. Connect the young animal lovers in your life with other like-minded youth through an annual BC SPCA Kids Club membership ($15). See spca.bc.ca for details.9. The � x is in. Help spread the word about the crucial importance of spaying or neutering pets. Thousands of unwanted animals are born in B.C. each year – often with tragic consequences. Find out more at spay/neuter.ca.Visit spca.bc.ca for more information on these resolutions and other ways you can make a life-saving di� erence for animals.

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 KupchukTh e 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.

Th e 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 aft er-noon over the Kamloops Blazers.

But it appears winning the majority of their remaining games won’t be enough to qualify for the playoff s. Th e Giants

earned four of six points yet gained little ground on the com-petition, 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 Pacifi c Coliseum to a tiebreaker, Ka-mloops allowed the Giants to make up just one point in the standings.

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

Th e Blazers scored twice in 32 seconds to but the diff er-ence to 3-2 aft er 40 minutes, then scored a tying goal with 13 minutes to play in regula-tion time.

Aft er 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.

Th e Giants also won their home game Sat-urday night, scoring three third-period goals

to upset the Rockets.Lang gave Vancouver a 1-0 lead aft er one period, but the

teams went into the third frame tied 1-1. Th omas Foster scored a go-ahead goal for the Giants in the fi rst minute of the third period, Cox scored the winning goal fi ve 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 defi cit in Vancouver Saturday, they did just that Friday in Kelowna.

Lang scored three times on the powerplay in the fi rst peri-od, and Cox added a goal in the second for a 4-1 Giants lead.

Th e Rockets cut the diff erence to 4-3 aft er two periods, but Foster tallied with the man advantage early in the third peri-od to put Vancouver up 5-3.

Th e Rockets then scored three unanswered goals for the win.

Aft er a game last night (Aft er Black Press deadlines) in Se-attle against the Th underbirds, the Giants will play at home to the Rockets Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Pacifi c Coli-seum, then visit the Blazers in Kamloops Saturday evening.

Gator’s Gym raises thousandsCloverdale gym raises money for team participating in Workout to Conquer Cancer

By Lauren CollinsTh is 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 do-nations.

Th e 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 Con-quer Cancer.

Bevilacqua said a few people who are cli-ents at Gator’s Gym had experience with cancer in their lives.

“[Th e 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 Rich-ards Buell Sutton Law, said the fi rm will match the total amount raised on Saturday.

Bianca West, G.U.T.S. team captain for Workout to Conquer Cancer, decided to cre-ate a team aft er hearing about the event on Facebook.

Th e BC Cancer Foundation’s Workout to Conquer Cancer is on April 2 and will fea-ture a “day of upbeat group exercise classes” to raise money for life-saving cancer re-search.

People wanting to join Workout to Con-quer 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 fi gured that by the end of the Feb. 20 class that fi ve 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 fi lled up.

Th e 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.

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

LAUREN COLLINS PHOTOSThere 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.
