Making the move

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSDecorated big rigs along with traditional fl oats, soap box racers, trolleys and even horses lit up 176 Street for Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights Sunday, Dec. 5. The event attracted thousands and raised $5,000 for the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau.

By Jennifer LangDestination Cloverdale is moving

to Main Street full time.Long-running offi ce roommates

and tourism marketing partners, the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce and the Cloverdale Busi-ness Improvement Association have already started packing up from their current digs upstairs at 17687 56A Avenue.

“We’ve given notice we’re going,” says Paul Orazietti, executive direc-tor of the BIA.

Both the BIA and the chamber are moving to a new location – the 5748 176 Street storefront that’s already home to the seasonal Destination Clo-verdale offi ce.

“We’ll be easy to fi nd,” Orazietti says. “More than likely, we’ll be do-ing a better job of promoting tourism. We’ll be more accessible.”

Orazietti expects both he and Clo-verdale Chamber of Commerce ex-ecutive director Bill Reid will need

volunteers to help work the front desk when the new offi ce opens in January.

Th e main rationale behind the two-block move is the promise of lower rent.

“We’re renting an offi ce that’s larger and half the price” of their current lo-cation, Orazietti said.

Th e two organizations are frequent collaborators on some of Cloverdale’s best-known community events, such as last weekend’s fi ft h annual Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights, the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival, the Clover-dale Rodeo Parade and

Rodeo Week.Th e chamber and BIA also collabo-

rate on year-round projects such as downtown beautifi cation and long-term planning.

Th e BIA represents about 280 local businesses. Th e Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce represents hundreds of local small and medium-sized busi-nesses, liaising with the city of Surrey.

“We’ll be more accessible...”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOAn exciting win last weekend at the provincials for Clayton Heights Secondary’s girls AAA volleyball team.

‘It was a really fun year’ ACTIVIST DIES Funeral services

were held yesterday morning in Cloverdale for Heather Stilwell, a long-time Surrey school trustee, activist and politician known for championing con-servative Christian family values.

She died last Friday following a two-year battle with cancer at the age of 66.

Stilwell served on Surrey’s board of ed-ucation for 15 years but stepped down in 2008, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Current board

chair Laurae McNally praised Stilwell’s abil-ity to be respectful and kind regardless of differing opinions or political leanings.

Remembered as

passionate about public education and literacy, Stilwell co-founded the Surrey Traditional School, and sewed hundreds of bookbags for kin-dergarten students.

Stilwell was also a founding member of

the Christian Heri-tage Party of Canada, briefly serving as its leader, and was highly involved in the anti-abortion movement.

She is survived by her husband of 45 years, eight children, and eight grandchil-dren.

The funeral service was held Dec. 9 at Pre-cious Blood Catholic Church in Cloverdale.

News in brief

It worked; they went on to win their next two round robin matches and defeat their first two opponents in the playoffs, includ-ing Highland from Vancouver Island.

But then they had to take on the number-one ranked team, Clarence Fulton of Ver-non, a strong team with mostly Grade 12s.

“They just didn’t make any mistakes,” Houchen said. “They beat us three games to zero. They were the class of the tourna-ment.”

Clarence Fulton went on to win the 2010/2011 AAA Senior Girls Provincial title, while Clayton Heights faced Little Flower Academy again in the bronze medal game. “The girls talked about getting re-venge,” he said. “They played awesome.”

Clayton Heights defeated LFA in two closely-matched games.

Tonya Gulbrandsen and Rachel Proctor were named all stars during the tourna-ment. Proctor, he said, was “kind of our unsung hero of the tournament. She’s been really steady all year, and just a really solid player for us.” Breanna Evoy took home the MVP award.

Houchen is proud of how the players conducted themselves throughout the sea-son and when the pressure was on.

“It’s the best team Clayton Heights has ever had in volleyball,” he said. “It was just a really fun year.”

Many players are planning to come back next year, he added.

Opinions

To the editor;Th ank you for reporting

that Kevin Falcon is joining the Liberal leadership race, for many of his Cloverdale constituents were not sure that he existed.

Like a phantom, he hovers over hospital diggings and

fl ies into photo-ops but is impos-sible to see in the fl esh.

He is a new type of UFO, Un-identified Flying Officeholder –moving in higher circles, alien tothe people on the street.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

To the editor;Th e new proposed Manor

House Law that will put the onus on builders and developers to publicly show their intentions before a permit is issued and ap-proval from the neighbourhood

is also required would be wel-come.

Th is law would have to be en-forced, no exceptions.

Th e fact that all houses with suites still must pass building, parking and fi re codes is still

non-negotiable. Th ey must pay their fair share

of municipal taxes and federal and provincial income taxes.

Th is is also non-negotiable. All governments are strapped

for cash and the honest home-

owner can not bear any more taxburden.

No more free rides.

Race for the Liberal leadership draws Kevin Falcon into the open

Politics in B.C. has always been a take-no-prisoners blood sport. For proof, one need look no further than the bookend resignations of Gordon Campbell and Carole James.

Neither wanted to give up their posts as Liberal and NDP leaders; both were almost forced out by a small band of dissidents and provin-cial polling that suggested they had outstayed their welcome.

No one said the job of party leader would be easy but it’s particularly tough in B.C., where politics are polarized and elections are fought like mixed martial arts battles. Leaders need the confi dence of 100 per cent of their caucus, not 84 per cent which, is roughly what both James and Campbell had toward the end of their tenures. Without popular support inside and outside the party, they were lame ducks.

Th e two deserve credit for showing leadership where it was needed by stepping down early enough in the elec-tion cycle for the two parties to rebuild, and the province benefi ted from both their strengths. Campbell was innovative and made some great leaps forward in ac-knowledging climate change and the steps needed to reverse it; James was collabora-tive and willing to reach out to sectors not

usually friends of NDP, such as small business.But both faced challenges from insiders who felt a new brand was

necessary for the parties to revive before the May 2013 election. James was criticized for being dull, unimaginative and slow to take advan-tage of Liberal gaff es; Campbell was denounced as out of touch and dictatorial.

In the end, both leaders faced the impossible task of trying to win over critics and reunite their parties.

In the fi nal analysis, some may say Carol James was as much a vic-tim of the harmonized sales tax decision as Gordon Campbell. Jamesfailed to gain mileage from this much-hated public policy comparedto Bill Vander Zalm, who managed to revive his reputation. While hefed the media a daily diet of blistering attacks against the HST, Jamesoff ered a less exciting but possibly more realistic option to renegotiatethe deal. She could hardly be heard over the din.

Now, B.C. voters will fi nally have their say on the HST and a newpolitical era. But don’t expect politics in Lotus Land to get any lessnasty.

Nasty politics in Lotus Land

Points of view

Without popular support inside and outside their parties, they were lame ducks.

Gordon Campbell and Carole James deserve credit for showing leadership by stepping down from their parties

By Jennifer LangTh e warm spirit of Christmas is

burning brightly at a host of local homes that are all decked out for the holidays.

Here’s a list of displays withineasy driving distance for Cloverdale Reporter readers:

Cloverdale’s Kinna family (Di-ane, James, Nash and Wyatt) is once again welcoming visitors to their annual display at 16456 60A Ave. as part of eff orts to raise money for the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. Last year, their eff orts raised $8,138 for the foundation, their best campaign ever.

Donations will be collected this year in support of SMH’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Th e Lagerstroms (Dan, Cindy and Kyle) at 15466 91A Ave. in Fleetwood are also using their amazing light display in aid of a worthy cause – Camp Goodtimes, a cancer charity.

Th is is their ninth year in a row putting on their gigantic display at 15466 91A Ave.

“We got bit by the Christmas light bug,” Dan Lagerstrom ex-plains on the website devoted to their display (lightup.ca), which of-fers helpful advice to anyone who might like to follow in their bright-ly-lit footsteps.

Th e Lagerstrom’s 2010 display uses more than 45,000 lights,

8 kms of wire, and 1,031 feet of gar-lands. It took 10 helpers 150 hours to set it all up.

Th eir lights will be on until Jan. 1, 2011. Th e display features music. To listen, turn to 102.1 FM.

Th e Haggarty Christmas House at 15659 93A Avenue has nearly 15,000 lights, including toy soldiers, candlesticks, lit trees, and Santa and his reindeer, who dance to music. From 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. nightly.

Donations accepted on behalf of B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Th e Land of Christmas dis-play at 20169 32 Ave. in Langley features a three-storey castle and 30,000 lights. Just around the cor-

ner is another large display at 2983 202 Street.

One of the biggest annual dis-plays around is Listen to the Lights at 4732 107A Street in Lan-gley, featuring more than 120,000 lights and a computer-controlled light show synchronized to music from the Trans Siberian Orches-tra, Bruce Broughton Orchestra, Sinead O’Connor and more. Tune in to 107.7 FM to listen.

Let us know about other note-worthy, local light displays by call-ing 604-575-2400, or via email to [email protected] and look for updates and our local lights map on our website and Fa-cebook page.

Wales: go for the castles – and desserts

Prince William and his fi ancée, Kate Middle-ton, may have chosen to live in North Wales to be close to his Anglesey RAF base, or, perhaps, the Welsh being less sentimental about the English might give them some peace. I simply chose it for the castles.

Having trudged through my share of cas-tles down the decades, I’m surprised to fi nd myself captivated by the elegance and power of Conwy Castle.

Eight commanding towers crown the head-land of the medieval town scattered along the Conwy River beyond the castle walls. Con-sidered one of the Eu-rope’s greatest medieval fortresses, I gaze admir-

ingly at the multitude of clearly defi ned rooms, and courtyards far below me. Feeling like a kid

with permission to play knights and kings in my very own magical castle, I think of how delighted my grandsons would have been to share this adventure. It’s a grey day. Th e sea wind whips my face as I walk the battle-ments. Clambering up the King’s Tower, I at-tempt to conjure up life in this fortress commis-sioned by Edward 1 in 1283. Queen Eleanor and her attendants. Chil-dren. Harp music. Enor-mous fi replaces housing blazing fi res. Th e Great

Hall and the King’s Hall.Massive quilts drapingwalls for insulation anddecoration. And in-trigue. Always intrigue.Surely spirits still clingto these walls.

Is Eleanor lookingdown her nose in disdainat my masculine pants,shapeless unembroi-dered jacket crownedwith unfashionably short hair, and a patheticlack of jewels? Is that ahorse clattering into thecourtyard? A messagefrom London, perhaps?I smell venison. Whereis that foolish maid? Imust change for dinner.My lord awaits.

Later, walking dock-side by the obviouslywell traffi cked river, Inotice a red telephonebooth. E-mail is listedabove the door. It seemsincongruous beneaththe old chimney pots ofthe surrounding stonecottages.

Leaving Conwy wecontinue along the routeknown as the Castlesand Town Walls of KingEdward consisting ofHarlech, Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Conwy(Gwynedd).

vantage of the Irish Sea, Harlech Castle ensured Richard’s troops could be supplied from the sea in the event of an as-sault from the land. “D-shaped” towers, doors within doors designed to foil the enemy, portcul-lises and murder-holes (ceiling holes designed to allow castle folk to bombard invaders with boiling oil, or similar) made this a truly a pow-erful fortress.

Th e sea has receded from Harlech over the centuries, but if still feels more like a garrison than a castle. Secured by inner and outer walls, Harlech took seven years to complete, and even today lives defi antly in the famous song Men of Harlech commemorat-ing the seven-year siege of the castle during the Wars of the Roses.

In the footsteps of Edward we press on to Caernarvon. Also, par-tially protected by sea, Caernarfon Castle is de-signed to repel invaders, but has gleaned more current fame because of the Queen’s investiture of 21-year-old Prince Charles as Prince of

Wales on July 1, 1969. Walking through the grassed central court-yard one can imagine how impressive and sol-emn the event must have been. A part of the castle ruins houses a museum commemorating the oc-casion.

As far as kingship in concerned, the English reputedly tricked the Welsh into at least sanc-tioning a Prince of Wales on the understanding that he be born in Wales and speak not a word of English. Eleanor of Cas-tille, Edward 1’s wife, gave birth to Edward 11 at Caernarfon in 1284, and, of course, the baby boy spoke no English. He was invested as Prince of Wales in 1301 at the age of 16, but in England.

History records that the Welsh stubbornly re-sisted English rule. Over

the centuries their fl ag, their king, and their Celt-ic language, were all out-lawed. Today the Welsh fl ag fl ies triumphantly throughout the 8,000 square mile country, and the lilting sound of Welsh is heard not only in business in northern towns, but is taught in schools.

Surrounding each of the castles are towns and villages you should

plan to explore. Th ey are intriguing,

pleasant, and worth any time you can spare. Don’t miss Snowdonia National Park if you en-joy hiking.

On the dining scene try the local lamb, and abandon your diet in favour of Welsh cakes, Monmouth pudding, lo-cal caramels, and other mouth-watering sweets to reward you for ab-

sorbing so much history.– Ursula Maxwell-Lewis, who was born a

Conway, has laid claim to Conwy Castle

despite being Scottish. There must

be a link.

My colleague Laura laughs as she recounts her husband’s embarrassment when she insists that their dog Bailee wear brightly-coloured rubber boots during walks in the snow.

“My husband always walks quickly, hoping no one will see us,” she chuckles. But Laura notes that without the boots Bailee’s paws become irritated by the coarse salt thrown on the sidewalk to melt snow and ice.

This is just one of the hazards pet guardians should watch out for this month. To keep your pets safe and happy this season, don’t forget the following tips:• Make sure you thoroughly clean the pads of your pet’s paws after they’ve walked on sidewalks or roads to remove any coarse salt that can cause irritation. For your sidewalk choose a pet-friendly, non-corrosive de-icing compound readily available through retail outlets;• Use pet-safe propylene-based antifreeze instead of ethylene glycol antifreeze, which is

toxic to pets and wildlife. A mere tablespoon of ethylene glycol antifreeze can kill a cat or small dog;• “Think and Thump” before starting your car. Cats and wildlife gravitate to warm engines during cold weather. Banging on the hood before getting into your car can avoid a tragic ending for an animal seeking refuge from the cold;• The SPCA strongly urges keeping all animals indoors during cold weather, but if you must keep a domestic or farm animal outside, ensure they have access to shelter that is off the ground, provides protection from wind, cold and dampness and is properly insulated. Regular checks to ensure drinking water has not frozen over are also a must;• Pets often find the family Christmas tree an intriguing new play toy. Make sure your tree is well secured, place decorations above paw height

and use string instead of hooks, which are easily dislodged. Make sure you don’t add chemicals or any other harmful substances to the water in your tree base;• Be cautious using holiday trimmings

such as tinsel and candles, which can cause injury for

your pets;Some holiday plants can be poisonous to animals – keep mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas roses away from your pets;• Avoid giving turkey bones to your pets. Poultry bones easily splinter and the fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations;• Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to pets. Chocolate contains

theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cat and dogs.

I hope these tips help keep your pets safe and happy. On behalf of the BC SPCA and my own four-legged family members – Bob, Sam and Calleigh – I wish you all a joy-filled holiday season.

P.S. Searching for a gift for the animal lover on your list?

The BC SPCA has lots of fun animal-themed merchandise and gift opportunities to help animals in need. See spca.bc.ca for details.

VIGIL IN MEMORYStudents, faculty, and staff at

Kwantlen Polytechnic Universi-ty’s trades and technology cam-pus in Cloverdale held a vigil at noon Monday, joining their counterparts in observing the National Day of Remembrance.

Th e vigils raise awareness about violence against women by remembering the lives of 14 women who were killed at the l’Ecole Polytechnique de Mon-treal on Dec. 6 in 1989.

Surrey MLAs Stephanie Cadieux, Harry Bains, Bruce Ralston and Sue Hammell joined the tributes.

As the names of the Montreal women were read out, roses were placed and candles lit in their memory.

Th e Kwantlen Faculty Associ-ation has been hosting vigils on Dec. 6 – Canada’s National Day of REmembrance and Action on Violence Against Women – since the early 1990s.
