Cloverdale embraces Doors Open

PHOTO SM.480C COURTESY OF SURREY ARCHIVESFrank McKinnon and Watt Heron stand by a sign erected by the Surrey Board of Trade at Fry’s Corner (176 St. and Fraser Highway) in 1956 to encourage people to visit Cloverdale. Check out digital displays, browse through photos, maps, oral history and more at the Surrey Archives on June 21. The archives is one of 48 participating sites in Surrey Doors Open.

By Jennifer LangPeek inside an 1884 heritage

church that’s only used on special oc-casions or take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Surrey Museum’s storage collections when doors – and a lot more – swing open in Cloverdale.

Th e third annual Surrey Doors Open is a festival encour-aging Surrey residents to be tourists in their own town, by sampling culture, history, art, and architecture, enjoying free activities and taking guided tours.

Th e idea originated in France, where in 1984 people were invited to visit places that weren’t ordinarily open to the public, such as police stations and fi re halls.

Th e concept has really taken wing in Cloverdale, which is part of the festival for the fi rst time in 2014.

“It’s a city event that expanded to Cloverdale,” says Paul Orazietti, ex-ecutive director of the Cloverdale BIA.

It’s a chance to share our stories, celebrating the old – and the new,

says Orazietti, noting the population of Cloverdale and area has grown rapidly in recent years.

“Th e past and the future live here,” he said, amending the familiar City of Surrey slogan slightly.

City-wide, 48 sites in City Cen-tre, Bear Creek Park, Newton and

Cloverdale are participat-ing in the June 21 event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Th ere are myriad events, open houses and activities planned for Cloverdale – from a buskers’ festival and arti-san market to a Park Play Palooza at Cloverdale Athletic Park and a vin-

tage truck and tractor show ‘n shine at the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum.

It’s shaping up to be a veritable smorgasbord of what the historic town centre and area has to off er. 

Free, hop-on, hop-off transporta-tion is available, making it easier to check out various stops.

struction began, two of the three railway overpasses that make up the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor combo project have offi cially opened.

Th e fi nal overpass in the combo project, at 192 Street, is expected to be fi nished later this year — possibly as early as July.

Good as goldCONTRIBUTED PHOTO

With 32 athletes in competition, it was a record showing for Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary at the 2014 B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley. Seven Tweedy athletes picked up medals, including a gold in the 4X100 relay for Grade 8 students Amanda Moore (from left, above), Sedonda Arabsky, Praise Osifo and Kayla Kim. Jonny Chwak-linski, Kenzo Los, Alan Wu, Colton Sayshely and Zach Winteringham ran off with silver in the 1X100 relay. Kenso Los also earned silver in the 100m. Sedona Arabsky also earned silver in shotput. Bronze medals went to Ben Ingvaldson (shotput) and Amanda Moore in the 100m and 200m races.

By Jennifer LangTh e harness racing commu-

nity is pulling together to help the owners of 17 Standardbred racehorses that were killed when fi re destroyed a barn in Langley earlier this month.

Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino and Harness Racing B.C. are co-hosting a fundraiser re-ception and silent auction for JJJ Stables and the families im-pacted by the June 1 barn fi re – described as the worst loss of

livestock recorded in Langley Township history.

Th e horses and equipment lost in the fi re were uninsured.

“It’s the worst thing that can happen when you’re in the rac-ing industry,” said Chuck Keel-ing, Vice President, Stakeholders Relations and Responsible Gam-ing  at Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. “It is a horrifi c loss for everyone.”

From now until Tuesday Fra-ser Downs and three other race tracks owned by Great Canadian

Gaming Corp. – Hastings Race-course, and Georgian Downs and Flamboro Downs in Ontario – are collecting cash donations for the cause.

Th e wine and cheese recep-tion and silent auction at Fraser Downs starts at 6:30 p.m. June 17.

Contributions for the silent auction should be delivered to the reception desk at Fraser Downs by Sunday, June 15. For more information, call Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino at 604-576-9141.

Bill spurred pro-ALR actionTo the editor;Re: “Farmland fate a test for parties,” above,

and at www.Cloverdalereporter.com. For Tom Fletcher, a fan of the recent ALR

bill, only “a fl ood of exclusions of prime agri-cultural land” might make the concerns about it “at least partially true.” Short of the fl ood, it seems any bad eff ect from the weakened Agri-cultural Land Commission Act is nothing.

Fortunately, the bill spurred wide pro-ALR action. Th e eff orts to stop “the bill to kill the ALR” (at least for consultation) were also a means to boost the critical mass of aware citi-zens for the next stage, which is now.

Awareness matters. We saw that in Rich-mond a few years ago when a fellow who pub-licly wanted a high-profi le property out of the ALR almost got onto the Agricultural Land Commission panel to decide on it. Of course, the ALC is a tribunal, and like a court it is

meant to start with evidence, not decisions.Until the recent bill kneecapped the com-

mission, current chair Richard Bullock was modernizing the ALC methods for quality as-surance and effi ciency, minimizing mistakes.Now the changes to the ALC Act have disabledmuch of the progress and worse.

With vigilance, the harm can be limited.Jim WrightPresident, Garden City Conservation

VICTORIA – Th e B.C. Lib-eral government’s bill to di-vide the Agricultural Land

Reserve into two zones has passed, aft er one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nich-olas Simons yelled as the govern-ment cut off a long and mostly rep-etitious debate that dominated the fi nal days of the legislature session.

Not to be outdone, cabinet min-ister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about  Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land re-serve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones.

Bennett advised Simons to of-fer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said.

Th e on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Mac-donald summed up his party’s big-gest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional pan-els of the Agricultural Land Com-

mission.Th e government’s scheme, Mac-

donald and other NDP critics pre-dicted, is to unleash a fl ood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Lib-eral supporters by allowing devel-opment on productive farmland.

Th at might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett admin-istration set it up in 1973.

Second, the re-gional panels are not new. Th e B.C. Liber-als imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process.

I’ve written before about the

legitimate concerns of places like Merritt and Vanderhoof and Daw-son Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense.

Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake,

and are frequently ig-nored.

Th e debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civil-ity. Macdonald inter-rupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclu-sion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s

the case, what is really broken that needs to be fi xed? It’s a good question that the   govern-ment did not adequately answer.

And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Let-nick, who inherited a public rela-tions mess left by the brief and

boneheaded performance of PeaceRiver North MLA Pat Pimm.

Braving the heckling at the end,Letnick put aside his partisan talk-ing points and gave his personalassurance that the government’sintention is to support farming inthose places where non-farm in-come is the only thing that keepspeople on the land.

As soon as the theatrics haddied down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its membersto help “save” the ALR. Th e party is broke and desperate aft er losingits fourth straight election, and ithopes to activate its declining do-nor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of itsmost sacred cow.

Voters have three years beforethe next election to assess this situ-ation. If there is a fl ood of exclu-sions of prime agricultural land,then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true.

If this does not take place, thenthe government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll fi nd out the truth.

Th anks to Branch 6 for outstanding D-Day dinner

To the editor;Bless the Royal Canadian Legion Cloverdale

Branch and all its staff and volunteers. A fast declin-ing number of WW2 veterans whose only acknowl-edgement of service to Canada is briefl y held on Nov. 11 or on some conspicuous anniversary date, are treated like heroes by this branch on a regular basis.

My letter today, however, combines a celebra-tion of the D-Day landings of 70 years ago with a fantastic show and a delicious dinner at no fee for all veterans. Th e event, which ran over three hours, featured the outstanding team of Linda Jones and

her talented accompanist.  Th eir show is terrifi c,

bringing rapturous ap-plause from the apprecia-tive veterans and their guests. If anyone can name a singer equal to Linda

Jones I’ll be fl abbergasted that two such outstand-ing talents exist. Th e two women are equally excel-lent in the hilarious stories they tell or, in Linda’s case, the heart-rending poetry she has written that bring tears to the old veteran’s eyes.

Th e food was superb and was combined with the exceptionally hard work of the Legion’s volun-teers who catered to our every need; it was indeed a highlight for many of us who served our country in many confl icts on land, sea and the air.

Th anks you everyone at Branch No 6, RCL, a most grateful member,

 Mike HarveyLangley

Th e show won’t go on.Susie Frances and Th e Versatiles – a Cloverdale

troupe of golden-aged performers – have had to cancel their upcoming show, Speakeasy, at Port Kells Hall, due to ill health.

Th e group recently performed at the Cloverdale Legion and had planned a June 15 event in Port Kells that was supposed to include dancing, gam-bling with funny money, a silent and live auction and more.

Th eir fans can instead look for them the follow-ing weekend in Cloverdale, where Th e Versatiles will be doing two, one-hour shows at the B.C. Vin-tage Truck Museum at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds on June 21 as part of the Doors Open event.

Test drivers help Girl Guides ‘SOAR’

Th anks to a success-ful fundraiser held earlier this spring, the Clover Valley Girl Guides took part in a district campout at Lake KawaKawa in Hope over the May 29-June 1 weekend.

More than 116 girls and leaders attended the camp.

Girl Guides of Canada and Ford Can-ada raised more than

$2,900 to send girls to camp this year. On April 12, the Cloverdale United Church parking lot hosted Ford’s Drive One 4UR Commu-nity Fundraiser, where participants were able to test drive fi ve new vehicles.

For every test drive, Ford donated $20 to Girl Guides in Surrey and Langley.

Th e money raised will also help SOAR patrols from Surrey and Langley attend a camp in July.

SOAR, or Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous, takes place in Enderby,

B.C., July 19-26. Th e event is expected to draw 2,500 participants from across B.C. where they’ll get back to basics by tent camp-ing, cooking their own meals, and mixing with other girls from across B.C.,

Th e girls will also take part in in a range of outdoor activities and indoor activities, from learning about liv-ing a healthy, active life to learning about the environment, science, service, the fi ne arts, and waterfront activi-ties.

Need evident years before construction began in 2012

Critics see tide of U.S. coal coming north

By Jeff NagelClimate change ac-

tivists predict a newly announced U.S. emis-sions crackdown will result in more Ameri-can coal being carried by train through the Lower Mainland for export to overseas markets.

Anti-coal campaign-er Kevin Washbrook said the U.S. goal of a 30 per cent cut in coal plant emissions over 25 years will gut already waning domestic demand for U.S. coal.

He said that will leave coal companies frantic to get their product overseas and increasingly looking north, because eff orts to build new coal terminals have been stymied in Washing-ton and Oregon.

“Th ere’s a huge amount of coal in the States and they’re going to be desperate to ship it,” Washbrook said. “We are right now the weakest link and the easiest route out.”

Most coal moving through the Lower

Mainland is metal-lurgical steel-making coal from B.C. mines in the Kootenays or the northeast. Th e main destination is Westshore Terminals at Deltaport, where six coal trains arrive each day. About two trains a day roll through White Rock and South Surrey on the BNSF railway carrying U.S. thermal coal to Westshore.

Th e other four trains a day come from B.C. mines and run along the CP or CN main lines in the Fraser Val-ley before following the Roberts Bank Rail Cor-ridor through Langley, Cloverdale and Delta to Westshore.

“Coal opponents have been giving the impression it’s going to be open sesame – that there’s going to be all this U.S. thermal coal pouring into B.C.,” said Coal Alliance spokesman Alan Fryer. “It seems to me that’s going to be not the case.” He noted that even with the emis-sions cuts, the U.S. still expects 30 per cent of its electricity to come from burning coal in 2030.

Th e other existing coal terminal is Neptune Terminals, which takes two trains a day and has approval to expand to a capacity of 18 million tonnes per year.

Activists aim to block a new terminal pro-posed by Fraser Surrey Docks, which would bring an additional train per day via the BNSF line at its planned capacity of four million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal.

Washbrook said he expects the new coal terminal, if approved by Port Metro Vancouver, will be expanded fur-ther and could become a much larger shippingoutlet.

ries vehicles and cyclists across busy Highway 10. Th e 196 Street overpass represents just one sec-

tion of the Roberts Bank corridor, which stretches 70 km from Deltaport to the eastern border of Langley Township — “arguably the most important 70 kilo-metres of railroad in our nation,” said Robin Silves-ter, president and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver.

Construction began in January, 2012, but the need for the overpasses was becoming evident years be-fore that.

Former City of Langley mayor, Peter Fassbender, now Minister of Education and MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, recounted meetings held years ago be-tween all three levels of government and the CPR.

Most of the conversation centred around who would pay for such a massive project, with the dis-cussion oft en going in circles, said Fassbender.

Th e federal government said the province should contribute. Th e province, in turn, said the munici-palities needed to pay a share, he recalled.

“Th e municipalities said, ‘Who should we ask?’”It was at one of those meetings that Fassbender

pulled a toonie out of his pocket and handed it to David Emerson, who was minister of Pacifi c Gate-

way, as seed money to get the project underway. Fassbender pulled out another $2 coin and sug-

gested it could somehow be embedded in the over-pass.

“Th en every time I drive over, I’ll see if I can fi nd it — without getting into trouble,” Fassbender said.

Acting City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaff er ac-knowledged not everyone fi nds the idea of a road opening too exciting. But the opening of the over-passes represents everything from economic growth, to improved trade, lower vehicle emissions and re-duced emergency response times.

“What could be more exciting than that?”Surrey Councillor Mary Martin also spoke on be-

half of her city, which is managing the overall combo project.

Th e total cost of the three overpasses is $110.4 million. Of that, the federal government contrib-uted $30.2 million as part of the Asia-Pacifi c Gate-way Project. Another $24.8 million came from the province; $23.1 million from Port Metro Vancouver; $9.7 from Canadian Pacifi c Railway; $8.8 million from the City of Surrey; $8.3 million from the City of Langley and $5.5 million from the Township.

Quite a few places with a heritage bent will be open, including the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum, Christ Church and cemetery, the Fraser Valley Her-itage Railway Society, the Cloverdale Legion, the Surrey Museum (off ering a range of activities, plus the Re-Enactors, along with tours with the curator of the collections storage) and the Surrey Archives, where visitors can check out digital displays, browse photos, and meet with members of the Surrey His-torical Society.

An historic Cloverdale walking tour is also planned (sign up at the Surrey Museum). Addition-ally, Orazietti said the Cloverdale BIA and the Sur-rey Historical Society have put together a self-guid-ed walking tour, with 5,000 copies of the pamphlet available to the public at various locations.

Surrey Fire Hall No. 8 and the Cloverdale/Port Kells (District 4) offi ce of the Surrey RCMP are also holding open houses, along with the Clover-dale Library, Cloverdale Recreation Centre, and the Cloverdale Youth Park, home to the new, state-of-the-art skateboard facility.

Fraser Downs hosts the Antique Tractor Pull, running from noon to 3 p.m. and featuring pre-1960 tractors from across the Fraser Valley.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Cloverdale campus invites visitors of all ages to take a tour and have fun making slime, fi lm canister rockets and more.

More curling accolades for Cloverdale family

By Rick KupchukTeam Tardi will be honoured

with a pair of awards Saturday when Curl BC stages its ban-quet at the Best Western PLUS Coquitlam Inn.

Tyler Tardi will receive the Junior Male Athlete of the Year award, while father Paul Tardi has been announced as the Coach of the year.

Th e Tardi family is from Cloverdale, and Team Tardi is a member of the Langley Curling Club.

Tyler Tardi had a very suc-cessful 2013-14 season, which included a fi rst at the BC Winter Games in Mission.

Tardi received the W.R. Ben-nett Award for Athletic Excel-lence, the fi rst time a curler had earned the honour. He skipped his team to a bronze medal in Mission, and won silver med-als at both the Tim Hortons BC Junior Curling Championships and the 2014 BC High School Curling Championships.

His team won the Canada Games qualifi er, and will compete at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George next February.

With Team Tardi earning podium fi nishes at each major event this past season, coach Paul Tardi has earned the Anita Cochrane Award for Coach of the Year.

“Paul was nominated not just for his results but because of his

great attitude toward knowl-edge.,” said a Curl BC press release.

“He shares his knowledge, not just with players but also with other coaches in the curling community.”

HORSE RACING INDUSTRY RALLIES FOLLOWING DEVASTATING FIREThe horse racing community has banded together to help the principals of JJJ Stables, owners of the 17 standardbreds that died in a massive barn fire in Langley, BC.

In an effort to assist JJJ Stables and families impacted by the Langley barn fire, four Great Canadian Gaming Corporation racetrack facilities have initiated fund-raising plans as a show of support in the recovery process. The horses and equipment lost in the fire were uninsured.

Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, BC, Fraser Downs Racetrack in Surrey, BC, as well as Ontario-based Georgian Downs and Flamboro Downs will be collecting cash donations from Saturday, June 7 to Tuesday, June 17.

Fraser Downs and Harness Racing BC will co-host a fund-raising evening on Tuesday, June 17 at 6:30pm with a wine and cheese reception in the Homestretch at Fraser Downs (Min $20 donation). The evening will include a silent auction.

Those wishing to contribute to the silent auction should deliver their items to the Fraser Downs reception desk prior to Sunday, June 15. All items collected will be on display in the Fraser Downs Atrium from Sunday, June 15 to Tuesday, June 17. For more information contact Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino at 604.576.9141.
