July 31, 2014 edition of the Cloverdale ReporterTRANSCRIPT
A fi lm fi nale for Th e Clova
BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSClova Cinema manager Samantha LeDrew threads last Saturday night’s early show movie – Tammy – onto ‘Ethel’ the Clova’s 35mm fi lm projector. It’s an original, like its twin, ‘Martha,’ who packed it in a while back.
By Jennifer LangTh is weekend marks the fi nal reel for the
Clova Cinema, one of the last movie theatres in the region to rely on 35mm fi lm.
Built through the sale of community bonds, the Clova Th eatre opened in Au-gust 1947, entertaining successive generations of movie fans and creating new ones.
Th e single screen cinema has played host to weddings, concerts and plays, a celebration of life, countless fi rst dates, and fi rst movies.
Th ose in the know bring their own containers for discounts on popcorn and drinks, and drag sleepy youngsters in PJs to the night’s double bill.
Craig Burghardt and his family bought the business in August 1996, pledging to off er an evening’s aff ordable entertainment, and a fi rm commitment to the community, helping schools, sports teams and non-profi ts raise an estimated $100,000 through rentals and sponsorships.
Sixty-seven years on, the Clova faces an ending no Hollywood screenwriter would have the heart to devise. In March, the building was sold to a local church, ending
Burghardt’s hopes of securing another long-term lease and eff ectively pulling the plug on the Clova’s hoped-for digital sequel.
Burghardt won’t miss sweeping up pop-corn, but he will certainly miss his nine co-
workers and the patrons.“It’s a dream job. I would con-
tinue to do it if I could,” he said.He won’t miss dealing with fi lm
companies, either. Even before the number of new movie titles released on fi lm dwindled with the digital revolution, distributors were making it diffi cult for small businessmen like Burghardt to turn a profi t, insisting on exclu-sivity and a greater share of box offi ce receipts.
“In a way, I wasn’t my own boss,” he said. “Th e fi lm compa-nies, I won’t miss. It markedly changed over the past 10 years.”
Th e movie-going public’s habits have changed, too.
“Honestly, it’s harder to get people out to the movies,” he said, pointing to the rise of home digital services like Netfl ix and vastly improved TV off erings in recent years.
He’s not sure what he’s going to do next.
Sprinter set to conquer continentBy Jennifer LangWith six new medals around her neck and
growing stack of hardware and trophies at home, sprinter Samantha Ogbeiwi will be a con-siderable force to be reckoned with this weekend when young athletes from across North Ameri-ca converge in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Ogbeiwi, who will enter Grade 7 this fall at Katzie Elementary, is a rising talent on the track. She’s earned the B.C. standard for 12-year-old girls in the 100-metre, 200-metre and 300-metre
sprints. And just last weekend saw her compete at the B.C. Athletics’ Junior Development Track and Field championships, a tournament for competitors aged 9 to 13.
Th e Ocean Athletics sprinter brought home four golds (200m, 300m, 4X100 and medley re-lay) and two silvers (100m, and shotput).
Th e 200-metre dash, she says, is her favourite.Th at’s fortunate, because she’s entered in that
event at Hershey’s Track and Field Games. Th e games are the largest program of its kind in
North America, giving nine-to 14-year-olds theopportunity to learn and develop the skills re-quired to participate in track and fi eld events,inspiring them to excel. Th e 37th annual North American fi nals are Aug. 2.
When Samantha found out she qualifi ed for the fi nals, she was thrilled.
“I’m excited. I think I’m going to do really well,” she says, exuding a quiet confi dence. “My mom says, if you train hard, you will have a

“Th ere are no job of-fers on the table,” said Burghardt. “I’ll prob-ably take a couple of months off and reas-sess things. Most peo-ple ask me what I’ll do aft er it closes and I say, ‘I’ll probably cry for a week.’”
Despite the looming closure, staff – some of whom have worked at the Clova for more than a decade – have “stuck with it to the end,” he said. “Th ey’ve all hung in there. I didn’t even ask them that.”
Rather than go quietly into the darkness, the cinema presents a classic and classy fi nale, start-ing with Friday night’s screening of the ultimate cult fi lm, Th e Rocky Horror Picture Show, at 9:30 p.m. (costumes and props encouraged), the Second Annual Amaz-ing Race Cloverdale
on Aug. 2, followed by ABRA Cadabra, a tribute to the music of ABBA later that night. Th e Clova says adieu af-ter 67 years Aug. 3 with a scavenger hunt at 1 p.m., followed by the Great Clova Auction, where fans can bid on a piece of Clova history.
As its fi nal act, the Clo-va Cinema is going out the same way it debuted on May 26, 1947 – by playing the movie Dead Reckoning, a fi lm noir starring Humphrey Bog-art and Lizabeth Scott.
Back then, patrons paid $1 for the privilege – opening night was a fundraiser for Surrey Memorial Hospital.
Th is time it’s on the house.
Tickets for all events – except Dead Reckon-ing, which is playing for free – are on sale now at the box offi ce at 5732 176 Street, Surrey. Visit www.Th eClova.com.

To the editor;Re: “A partnership in bloom,” July 10Th e article about Milieu Family Services is
important as it enlightens the public about the value of community service and the dedi-cated, hard-working volunteers referred by this agency. Th e young volunteers were will-ing, able and very engaging with Cloverdale Country Farms customers. I personally had great encounters with these young people and was impressed with their wonderful at-titude. Some of these volunteers became paid
employees and were mentored in all aspects of retail sales.
Th e error in the article is about the cham-pion who initiated this mentorship oppor-tunity at Cloverdale Country Farms. It was Wendy Fraser, previous Manager of the Gar-den Centre and Angela Patrignani, then em-ployment specialist for Milieu. Credit should be given where credit is due. Ms. Fraser was also an ardent supporter of social programs which included fundraising for the Veterans Transition Program, helping Veterans with
post-traumatic stress as well as the National Youth Track & Field Championships with Athletics Canada, helping young aspiring Olympians follow their dreams. When Ms. Fraser left Cloverdale Country Farms she ensured the Milieu Family Services program continued under the new management.
Let’s make sure people who go that extra mile to improve the lives of others, as humble as they may be, receive their due recognition.

Last week’s story on the future of Cloverdale West Village and the evident frustration further delays are causing Cloverdale’s business leaders (“‘Neglectful. In-sulting. A mess’,” July 24) elicited some strong responses online, too.
Here are comments from read-ers the story generated at www.cloverdalereporter.com:
Wake up, councilBravo, community leaders
acting on behalf of business in Cloverdale. Th is site has been on council’s agenda for more than 20 years and has had three or more plans presented and it is still not developed. More to the point it has been put on the back burner. Lip service from council does not
count and the City Development Corporation has, under council’s direction, put the money into council’s priority – the new City Hall. Clean Surrey – Green Sur-rey does not apply to Cloverdale. Wake up, council, and put some resources behind a community eyesore that deserves attention.

BIA elects new presidentTh ere’s a new face at the helm of the Cloverdale
Business Improvement Association, fi lling a posi-tion previously held by lawyer Lyle MacMillan, who
has stepped down, prefer-ring to take an advisory role.
In his place is Rob Pa-terson of Newmac Ani-mal Feeds, who has been elected president of the Cloverdale BIA.
Paterson was named board president at a meeting July 15.
Norma Brown and Aaron Hotell will serve as fi rst and second vice presidents of the BIA board, and Dean Moore of Michaud’s Hair Salon
and Spa, has been re-elected treasurer.A week earlier, at the association’s annual gen-
eral meeting, members agreed to adopt a motion to renew the Cloverdale BIA agreement for another fi ve-year-period beginning in March 2015 – a rec-ommendation that will be forwarded to Surrey city council for approval.
Th e Cloverdale BIA is funded by the City of Sur-rey through a levy on businesses in the member-ship area, which includes about 280 businesses in the historic town centre.

Give Your Brain A BoostBy Fred Cheng (R.Ph), Christine Cheng (R.Ph)
Nobody likes to be forgotten, and, defi nitely, nobody enjoys forgetting. Regardless of your age, a healthy brain and nervous system are crucial to creating and maintaining our valuable memories. However, as we age, we need to help our bodies along by eating healthy, exercising our brains, and considering appropriate supplements to maximize our brain function and continue learning and remembering.
Ginkgo biloba can be effective in improving cognitive function in patients with mild to moderate memory issues. It could improve short-term visual memory and speed of cognitive processing. It appears to work by increasing blood fl ow to the brain, decreasing toxic beta-amyloid peptides, and increasing antioxidant activity in nerve and brain cells. It is generally well-tolerated, but caution should be taken in patients on anti-clotting medicines and/or those who get migraine headaches. Benefi ts typically appear after 2-3 weeks of use. Ginkgo can be found on its own in products such as GINKGO PHYTOSOME (by Enzymatic Therapy), where it is bound to phosphatidylcholine for enhanced absorption. Combination products such as COGNIPLEX (by Biomed) combine ginkgo with other herbs such as bacopa monniera and vinpocetine to further improve circulation in the brain as well as to enhance learning rate and memory, especially in relation to dementias such as Alzheimer’s. SMART GINKGO (by New Roots Herbals) is another such combination that includes GABA and l-theanine to help promote a feeling of calmness as well as phosphatidylserine to nourish the brain’s tissues.
COGNISURE (by Metagenics) contains COLOSTRININ, which is a bovine-derived, protein-rich complex. It has been observed in various clinical studies to improve
cognitive function in adults. It appears to work via its antioxidant properties as well as its ability to stabilize beta-amyloids and protect various DNA structures. It is well-tolerated and is taken just once daily. Cognisure’s benefi ts can be felt in as little as a week (as reported anecdotally). CERALIN FORTE (by Metagenics) is a foundation neuroprotective formula, i.e., it is meant to be taken three times daily to maintain optimal nervous tissue health. It is formulated to provide further antioxidant protection for the central nervous system (i.e., the brain and spinal cord) and to support healthy cognitive function on an ongoing basis. Both of these supplements are well tolerated and pose very little potential interactions with other medications.
LION’S MANE (eg. by Purica) is a medicinal mushroom shown to boost brain power by protecting nerve cells from chemical damage. It may also help calm the nervous system, improving focus, concentration, memory, and even curbing depression and anxiety. The active ingredients in Purica’s LION’S MANE (like their entire line of medicinal mushrooms) is harnessed by a special “micronization” process to ensure a much higher active ingredient content than other brands which rely on a simple “extraction” process.
If you want to approach things from a homeopathic stand-point, try CEREBRUM COMPOSITUM. The goal here is not only to improve the brain’s cognitive and memory functions, but to prevent or improve any circulatory disturbances that may arise from arteriosclerosis (thickening and/or hardening of the artery walls). Its formula also contains ingredients to help with stress and calming, which can be benefi cial in certain cases of dementia.
Essential fatty acids have many benefi ts in the body including cardiovascular health, joint health, brain health, neuroprotection and healthy cognitive function. TOCO-X-KRILL (by Biomed) is a combination of biologically active tocotrienol (a form of vitamin E) and “Neptune Krill Oil” (a source of omega-3 fatty acids). Tocotrienol is better absorbed and provides antioxidant
protection, which may protect against stroke-induced brain injury as well as prevent aging of the brain and dementia. Krill oil is well-known to help reduce infl ammation as well as help improve cholesterol levels.
Our father, Dr. Henry Cheng, has been recommending LUCOZADE for his patients for years with amazing results. It appears as if it is simply a carbonated sugar drink, but Lucozade can give you a temporary mental and physical boost, hence it has been a staple in sports and general medicine in England and Hong Kong for decades. For the purpose of boosting brain function, Lucozade only needs to be consumed in small quantities.
Preserving cognitive function and preventing memory loss and/or dementias takes more than just popping a pill. Just as we need physical activity to maintain our body’s mobility and function, research shows we can improve the connections in our brain simply by using it: Consider doing crosswords, jigsaws, or challenging a friend to a game of chess…keep up hobbies such as sewing, knitting, carpentry…join or start a book club…it’s never too late to pursue a new interest such as learning to play a musical instrument. Work your mind and you’ll help to preserve its function and your precious memories.

Summer in the cityLately I have been asked
where I’m going this summer. I get the ques-
tion all the time. My answer is always the same. I like to stay close to home during the summer. We have such great weather this time of year that I never feel the need to escape. I’d rather leave my travelling for the fall months when it’s rainy.
Th ere is so much to do close to home during the summer. You can fi nd something to do that fi ts any budget. Th ere are free things to do all the time such as local festivals and swim-ming in the ocean and lakes. You can fi nd campgrounds at reasonable rates too.
Th ere are open air events such as live plays, concerts, pa-rades and yoga on the beach. You can take in the Celebra-tion of Light, grab some great
food at the popu-lar Richmond and Surrey night mar-kets or peruse the vendors at local farmers markets.
All manner of summer sports are available such as paddleboard-ing, skimboard-ing, kayaking, and canoeing. You can grab some friends and a bocce set, croquet or bad-minton and play at the local park.
Host a BBQ at the beach or at your house. Make it a potluck and taste all your friends’ cooking. Th e possibilities for fun around town are endless. So
have a stay-cation instead of fl ee-ing to some other hot spot. Where you are right now is one of the best places on Earth. I for one am making the most of this fabulous weather by experiencing everything I can right here at home.

hands-on activities for the whole family.”
Featured presentations include Snapshots of Surrey History, a walking tour of historic Clover-dale, a visit to the B.C.

PERT
Is your dog or cat brushing regularly? Unfortunately gum disease – called periodontal disease – is the most common disease in dogs and cats. In fact, by two years of age, an estimated 80 per cent of dogs and 70 per cent of cats have some form of gum disease.
What is gum disease?Gum disease is an infection between the tooth and the gum. Food particles and bacteria collect along the gum line and form soft, sticky deposits called plaque. Over time, minerals in the saliva harden the plaque into yellow-brown tartar. Plaque causes the gums to swell, resulting in gingivitis, the initial, reversible form of gum disease. As swollen gums begin to separate from the teeth, gaps form and bacteria invade the pockets, leading to infection. Eventually, teeth may begin to loosen and fall out, as the bones and ligaments that support the teeth are destroyed. This later stage of gum disease, called periodontitis, cannot be reversed, only managed. Bacteria can also spread through the bloodstream to the kidneys, liver or heart, causing damage to those
organs. Left untreated, gum disease may shorten a pet’s life span by as much as two years.
Is gum disease painful?Yes! Pets with gum disease have sore mouths and may have diffi culty eating. As gum disease progresses, your pet may begin to chew on only one side of his mouth, or drop food from his mouth as he eats. He may lose his appetite altogether. These can all be signs of oral pain. Pets may also be reluctant to groom, chew on toys or socialize. However, in many cases, gum disease may be present without any obvious signs of pain – and still be a signifi cant welfare concern.
Does your pet have gum disease?Bad breath is an indicator that your pet may have gum disease. Other serious signs include red, swollen gums, yellowish or brownish tarter on the teeth, and blood left on chew toys.
What can you do?Prevention is the key. Just as with people, regular brushing is important for pets. Ideally, brush your pet’s teeth every day or at least every other day. Your veterinarian will demonstrate the best brushing method. Many animals are uncomfortable with having their mouths touched at fi rst. The trick is to approach toothbrush training the same way you would other types of training: with patience and praise. Avoid human toothpaste, which may contain too much fl uoride and irritate your pet’s gastrointestinal system.
Chew on this!Nylon or rubber chew toys can help to scrape away plaque and tarter. Look for ones recommended by veterinarians. Avoid hard, plastic
chew toys, which can fracture teeth.
CheckupsTake your dog or cat to the veterinarian at least once a year to have their mouths checked as part of an overall health exam.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSamantha Ogbeiwi, 12, and her brother Michael, 10, help one an-other train, performing drills outside their East Clayton home.
good result.”Her mom, Dayo, seated nearby,
nods. She’s encouraged her two older children, Samantha and Michael, 10, not only to get in-volved in sports but to train hard. Samantha runs, and does shotput and discus, as does Michael. Both kids play basketball, too.
Samantha is a member of the Ocean Athletics track and fi eld club, off ering training and coach-ing for athletes aged nine and up.
At home, her front sidewalk and an expansive, grass-covered boulevard function as an easy-access, outdoor gym.
Just steps from her front porch, the siblings help one another run drills on the agility ladder or work on improving upper body strength by tossing a medicine ball together,.
Aft er trying, and abandon-ing, dance lessons (she prefers sports), she started running competitively in 2012, quickly moving from longer distances to sprints.
“I get to express myself when I run.” At school, her favourite
subject is no surprise. “Um, P.E.,” she says. She also likes social studies and math.
If the bedrooms of other girls her age are festooned with post-ers of pop stars and fi lm heroes, Samantha has taped up hand-written training notes – lists of exercises, drills and goals orga-nized according to each day of the week.
Above her bed? Two poster-sized drawings of a running oval, complete with lanes. She drew them to use to help plan in ad-vance how she’ll perform her run – where on the oval she’ll turn on the power, and when she’ll pace herself.
Th at kind of discipline and focus seems to be paying off , as evidenced from last weekend’s provincial medal haul.
At the recent South Fraser track and fi eld championships in Langley, she earned two golds, a silver, and a bronze, and received the award for outstanding female athlete.
She also competed at the Hen-ry Jerome International Track and Field Classic this summer, taking part in the mixed relay.

Living here means getting the best of both worlds – a place where you’re never far from the urban buzz and you’re just as close to parks and serenity. Where your kids’ school is a hop away, as well as your favourite restaurant, spa, dentist
and grocery. There’s no doubt that it’s the fastest growing part of Surrey for good reason. Family-friendly Clayton Heights is one of the most popular new areas in Surrey, boasting schools, abundant shopping, services, parks and playing
fi elds. Natural green space and roadside produce stands are as common as major retailers, gourmet and family friendly restaurants and an authentic Irish Pub.
