Bill Reid remembered as a champion for Surrey By Jennifer Lang Hundreds of friends, family and former colleagues paid tribute to Bill Reid last Saturday at a celebration of life that was as large and as colourful as the man himself. Reid, who passed away on May 28 at the age of 78, was a former MLA, provincial tourism minister, and long-serving executive director of the Cloverdale and District Chamber of Commerce. More than 500 turned out to the Cloverdale Recreation Centre June 15, where Reid was remembered as a big-hearted community booster who loved his family, his city, and his

province – in that order. With an honour guard and a stirring rendition of Amazing Grace by Surrey Firefighters Pipes and Drums, and a list of speakers and guests that read like a political Who’s Who, it was a fitting send-off for Reid, who is survived by his wife Marion, daughters Cathy, Laurie, Sheila and Gail, and grandchildren. “Bill was larger than life,” said Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, a long-serving cabinet minister who was often on the receiving end of urgent phone calls from Reid, who was never afraid to work his many connections in

local and senior levels of government on behalf of Cloverdale and Surrey. If he was happy, Reid would chirp, “Rich, it’s Bill!” But sometimes, he’d hear a stern: “Coleman. It’s Bill Reid.” That meant he was displeased about something, and expected action. Once, Reid had called saying, “You have to save Fraser Downs [racetrack and casino] in Cloverdale,” Coleman remembered. “Let me tell you, we fixed Cloverdale.” One of his proudest accomplishments was being named

First official day of passenger operations is Sunday From page one

countryside and across busy modern roadways – to Sullivan Station at 152 Street and 64 Avenue in Surrey and back again. For safety reasons, the car must stop at every crossing so the conductor can get out to physically verify that all motor traffic is stopped. “It’s just to be sure nobody in a car is going to ignore the signals and drive on through,” Aubert said. The City of Surrey is installing signs alerting motorists at crossings, including on Highway 10 and at the 152 Street intersection. This past Sunday, the crew members who are operating the weekend passenger service took a number of training runs between Cloverdale and Sullivan to ensure everything will run smoothly once operations begin. The official opening of Cloverdale Station

is this Saturday, June 22. The station platform will be filled with dignitaries including Mayor Dianne Watts and Surrey city councillors, Frank Butzelaar, president of the Southern Railway of B.C., and Steven Higginbottom from B.C. Hydro will help officially open the replica station and the line, followed by the ceremonial inaugural passenger run. The first full day of operations is the following day, with the electric-powered rail car leaving Cloverdale Station on the hour, starting at 10 a.m. The last train will leave Cloverdale at 3 p.m. It’s about 45 minutes round-trip. (Note: There are no stops at Sullivan this summer.) The Re-enactors – professional actors portraying personalities from Surrey’s past – will be on hand, lending an air of authenticity to the festivities. From here on, the line will operate passenger service Saturdays, Sundays and holidays to Thanksgiving.

The car seats 56. There are no reservations; it’s first-come, first-serve. Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for children 12 and under. Aubert said he expects between 300 to 400 visitors to turn out on June 23, but admits it’s difficult to know precisely. “We don’t know what the demand is. It’s just like any other train – you turn up at the station!” Launching the demonstration passenger project is not the end of the journey – the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society wants to one day extend the service all the way to the Skytrain station at Scott Road, opening up a world of heritage tourism potential. The original Cloverdale Station was a hub for the BCER, or Interurban, an electric railway that operated for more than 40 years. In its heyday, three trains a day ran between Chilliwack and Vancouver, through Cloverdale, offering rapid transit to a growing suburban population.

The FVHRS formed with the dream of returning a working BCER Interurban to the original track, still used to transport freight. The society’s push for a heritage rail revival gained momentum this summer when the FVHRS moved its operations from Sullivan Station to Cloverdale, and launched a sponsorship campaign and volunteer drive for new members to work on the operational side as ticket takers, conductors and more. The sponsorship campaign to build Cloverdale Station attracted nearly 30 sponsors to the construction project, which broke ground in November. The entire project is in partnership with the City of Surrey and the Southern Railway of B.C., with the assistance of B.C. Hydro. For more information, visit fvhrs.org.

Staff at Clayton Heights Secondary are calling it the best grad prank ever. A large planter that’s the centrepiece of the school’s courtyard has been given a makeover. Last weekend, these Grade 12 students added in fresh soil, bedding plants and a new dogwood tree – replacing one destroyed by vandals. “It was such a nice surprise,” said BASES teacher and Link Crew coordinator Sheri Montgomery. The culprits will be presented with a plaque June 27 at the school’s awards ceremony.

Shoe donation drive on the agenda at Hillcrest fun night Parent hopes to have a truckload ready for ‘Ruben’s Shoes’ campaign Hillcrest Elementary is hosting its annual Family Fun Night this Friday, and organizers are asking everyone to bring along gently-used shoes. Fun night activities include a petting zoo, pony rides, a giant slide, concession and barbecue. A silent auction and raffle are also planned. Admission is free, but wristbands for games and activities will be on sale at $12 for schoolaged children and $7 for toddlers and preschoolers. Proceeds will go towards a new playground for Hillcrest

It’s Done.

Elementary. The school’s Parent Advisory Council hopes a new playground can be installed over the summer. “It’s a huge event that seems to get more exciting each year,” says Kim Baker, Hillcrest Elementary PAC fundraising chair. Shoes for adults and children are being collected as part of the event. The donations are for Ruben’s Shoes, a project that sends footwear to people in developing nations. Ruben’s Shoes was started by Kelly Strongitharm, cofounder of Three Sixty Financial Group. It’s

named after a boy who lives in the Dominican Republic whom she’d sponsored through World Vision. Her goal is to collect 10,000 shoes by fall. So far, parent Jennifer Orchiston has collected more than 300 shoes towards the project. She’s working to have a truckload more in time for Hillcrest’s Family Fun Night. Rugged sandals, running shoes, rain or gum boots, and dress shoes (without heels) are all needed. Drop off donations at Hillcrest Elemetary, located at 18599 65 Avenue. The event runs from

4 to 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

Ending the violence

Immigrant women are not always aware of their right to live without abuse in Canada To the editor; Violence against women is a worldwide problem. Within some cultures, it is the accepted and unquestioned norm. After immigrating to Canada, many women remain isolated; unaware of their rights and the services available to protect them. Last month I was getting my hair done. During the laughter and gossip characteristic of us African women, I questioned one woman about her bruised face. She chuckled, as if it should have been obvious, “My husband did it.’’ My hairdresser laughingly responded, “Well that is nothing, when I was pregnant,

my boyfriend broke my nose, kicked me in the stomach and then had sex with me.” This was greeted with knowing laughter. The conversation continued with a sense of joking competitiveness as to who had been most severely beaten. It broke my heart. In studying to become a new Canadian, I was proud that my new country was a place where, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights; therefore should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood,” as declared by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But because of cultural isolation, many im-

migrant women are unaware of their Canadian rights or are fearful of the inevitable reprisals should they choose to claim these rights. Living in Canada has not decreased or eliminated the violence heaped upon these women. It begs the question: In Canada, is violence against immigrant women the accepted and unquestioned norm? Until we all are ready to acknowledge its existence and stand on guard for these women, the answer is a shamefully resounding, “Yes!” Janet Marutawana Surrey

Grateful to the Reids

To Surrey Parks, Recreation and Culture; Thank you on behalf of our family and I am sure many others for installing another circular disc swing at Greenaway Park earlier this year. Our daughter is delighted once again to have this form of play restored at the park! This photo was taken from early March near the time the swing was reinstalled.

We will sadly miss Bill Reid. We so loved and admired Bill and Marion Reid that we chose them as Godparents to our daughter. Our daughter was unable to attend the funeral because she lives in California and the passing was so sudden. She sent me a note today and said she was so very happy that we chose Bill as her godfather and she is saddened that she cannot be there with the family. She is so very grateful that he was in her life and we too are grateful. We wish Marion and the family peace to bring them comfort and courage to face the days ahead.

Set a date for Mound Farm Park

Fifteen years ago, Ken Krasnikoff of the Cloverdale Community Association was asked by the City of Surrey’s Parks and Recreation department to be part of a steering committee on how Mound Farm, a unique mound south of Highway 10 between 168 and 178 Streets, might be used for public use. He made the following presentation to the city’s parks and recreation committee earlier this spring and shared it with The Reporter in response to our June 6 story, “Grant helps Mound Farm Park Prepare for Visitors.” The mound itself is an island of green surrounded by flat agricultural lands. Due to its interesting geological formation and significant tree cover, it is considered

a landmark in the surrounding Cloverdale area. It is covered by a stand of about 1,000 mature trees, including Douglas firs, western red cedars and big leaf maples. The views both to and from the Mound are equally spectacular. I said “yes” to being part of this steering committee and after several committee meetings and three public meetings at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School, a preferred master plan option was selected and finalized. While protecting the existing stand of trees, it shows pedestrian/bicycle trails on and around the 14-hectare mound. Picnicking facilities would be created, taking advantage of views from the mound. The flat agricultural land would

remain as farmland. To work with the steering committee, a consulting firm was hired and was responsible for preparing the Mound Farm Park Master Plan. With the master plan in place and the city officially dedicating the mound as a park in 1996, I thought that the city would develop the trail system in short order. In fact, I felt that there had been some urgency to gather a steering committee and complete this master plan. That was not the case, and after 15 years without any development, we the CCA are here asking this committee to dust off this report and to develop Mound Farm Park. This

would create a city-wide amenity providing passive recreational activities for all ages. As you know, Cloverdale and area has seen tremendous growth that will continue for many years. So, it’s time that theMound be developed for park use, not just for Cloverdale, but for all Surrey communities to enjoy. I hope we don’t have to wait very long for this to become a reality and therefore are asking this committee to establish a timeline as to when the mound will be opened for public use.

Recreation Centre June 10 that he has been approached many times over the years to seek a seat as a member of Parliament. “I have considered those suggestions carefully and, after having discussed this with family, friends and community members, have decided that I will pursue the nomination as a candidate in the new proposed Cloverdale – West Langley riding,” he said.

The crowd included former Surrey MPs Dona Cadman and Benno Friesen. Hayer’s run has also been endorsed by outgoing City of Langley Mayor, Peter Fassbender, the new Liberal MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood. Hayer announced in July, 2012 that he wouldn’t run in the provincial election held last month. “Part of that decision was that if (I was) reelected as MLA in May

Dave Hayer: justice reform remains a focus.

2013, and then left to run as an MP in 2015, I would have triggered an expensive by-election which would be costly for my constituents. I believe this would have been the wrong thing to do for my community,” he said. Hayer decided to make the announcement more than two years ahead of the next election, he said, because he wants to use the time to build relationships and help increase Conservative Party membership in the new riding. “It’s a chance to get to know the community,” he said. “It’s a large riding. I wanted to make sure I have enough time.” Although he served Surrey-Tynehead as MLA, Hayer does have a connection to Langley, he said, that includes having sat on the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Board of Governors and serving as District Director of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce LangleyVancouver Region.

Hayer’s jump from provincial to federal politics comes not only at the urging of friends and constituents, but from his own desire to work for a justice system that better serves victims and their families, he explained. “One of the closest issues to my heart is a fair justice system,” he said. Hayer’s father, Tara Singh Hayer, a journalist, was murdered in his Surrey home in 1998, 10 years after a failed attempt on his life that left him in a wheelchair. After his father’s death, Hayer focused on justice reform, entering provincial politics in 2001. “There wasn’t much we could do provincially, although we did what we could,” he said. A married father of four, Hayer has two daughters and two sons, ranging in age from 23 to 29 years old. If elected, Hayer said, he will continue his practice of hosting

coffee meetings once a month, where constituents are welcome to drop by without an appointment to discuss any concerns they might have. “There is much that I can bring to the federal government in terms of issues that are on the minds of British Columbians,” said Hayer. “During my three terms as MLA for Surrey-Tynehead, I listened and worked on constituent issues that encompassed all three levels of government and also had my personal experience in dealing with many issues including the justice system, a strong economy, jobs, increasing international trade, seniors issues and long-term prosperity for everyone.” Anyone who would like to speak with Hayer is invited to contact him at 604-833-4000 or by email at dave@ davehayer.ca.

Active moms meet up for outdoor fun P By Jennifer Lang When Samantha Gernhart was getting the hang of being a first-time mom, she realized she needed to connect with other new moms. She wanted to socialize with other women who could relate – but she didn’t really want to chat over coffee while the kids “monkeyed around.” “Which is fine,” she says, “but it’s not my style.” Gernhart wanted to do something active – like go for a walk or a hike, and share tips and advice. So she turned to an online resource called Meetup.com, where she found several “momoriented” groups, and headed out to a few local meet-ups, groups and classes for new moms. Last September, she ended up taking over as volunteer organizer of one of the meet up groups, renaming it the Surrey and Langley Active Moms group. Her aim was to offer women a free, healthy, social outlet – and a way to meet other moms in a safe, fun environment. Taking the helm of the group was a way for the 2013 Surrey Women in Business Awards finalist to socialize, get out of the house, and, above all, be active. Son Logan, 17 months, is very active – as is Gernhart and her husband. “We love to camp, hike, go canoeing, skiing and snowboarding.” When she took over the meet-up group, there were 24 active members. Now there are 300 and growing, as word about the group spreads. Gernhart, a busy business owner – just 26, she owns a marketing company called Clarity Marketing & Design – organizes one to three events a week. Newcomers and members keep up to date about the goingson at www.meetup.com/ surrey-langley-activemoms, and on Facebook. They go hiking, visit local parks, and swap parenting tips. She’s encouraging more women to get involved – and plan events. “Last week we did a walk in Bear Creek Park, in the rain, and I fell in love with the park. Everything you

could possibly need is there,” she says, adding she’s trying her best to plan more events in

Surrey and Langley. “I recently asked the moms on Facebook what park we should

meet up next. I want to make sure we do different areas to allow more moms to come out.” Members find moral support, and can ask other moms questions, says Kimberly Gleave, who’s learned about baby time, swimming lessons, swap meets, mom co-ops and more since joining. “This group is best thing I have stumbled upon since becoming a mom,” she adds, admitting she tells any new mother she meets to join the group. All mothers are welcome, from parents with newborns to those chasing after toddlers and older kids. Women who are expecting are welcome, too, letting them form friendships before their babies arrive. The biggest ongoing event is a weekly hike on Fridays called Hike Our Butts Off! at Derby

Reach Park in Fort Langley. An average of 10 to 15 members attend. Any of the members to schedule an activ-

ity – there just has to be another member in their area who can join the outing. Women RSVP through the meetup.com group.

Gernhart has set up Ve a Facebook page for the group, too, and a web-1 site: WestcoastactiveSa moms.com.

Congratulations to El Fedewich 35 years as a Notary Public in Cloverdale

El became a BC notary in 1978 and opened up his office in downtown Cloverdale. After a hectic 17 year career in the finance business, which took him away from his young family having to travel to many offices across Western Canada (before fax, cell phones, etc.) El found Cloverdale to be ideal as it reminded him of the small town of Strathmore, Alberta, where he spent his childhood. For 35 years, El has provided the community with legal services for real estate transfers, preparing mortgages (previous mortgage lending experience proved very helpful), wills, power of attorney, and a host of other legal services. El’s strong involvement in the affairs of Cloverdale made him well known. Some of his community involvement included, Secretary-Clerk of the Surrey Dyking District, Director of Zion Park Manor, Kinsmen Club; a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Ducks Unlimited (conservation), Director of the BC Notary Society, and more. El is a people person and his love of his work and the community make it difficult to quit. El works alongside his daughter, Trish Fedewich and her husband, Norman Witt, who are also BC notaries.

By Jennifer Lang When Cloverdale’s heritage rail project pulls out of the station carrying its first passengers in half a century this Saturday, people with mobility problems will climb aboard with ease. The platform at the replica Cloverdale station has been fitted with an electric lift, allowing passengers in wheelchairs, people who use canes, or those who simply wish to avoid hiking up the rail car’s steep steps to take a ride on the heritage railway, thanks to a donation from a Surrey credit union that was approved in record time. On June 22, more than 50 years after she made her last run, the restored interurban car 1225 will shuttle its first passengers along the original line between Cloverdale and Sullivan Station. It’s a day the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, volunteers, their supporters and sponsors, have long worked towards. In late 2012, after a move to the new car

barn in Cloverdale, the society launched a sponsorship campaign to support the building project for Cloverdale Station, a replica of the original that once stood just metres away. More than two dozen came forward, ensuring the building was solidly built, but also has historically-accurate extras, from double hung windows and heritage paint colours to just-

for-show chimneys and wood stove. While wheelchair accessibility for the train was not required to certify as a Transport Canada-approved passenger service, it was an important consideration. The society has more than 300 active members – many of them seniors and retirees with the expertise and experience needed to refurbish the old electric rail

cars. Additionally, various seniors groups and other rail enthusiasts have made inquiries about taking a ride on the Interurban again. “They still have memories of going on it but now they can’t climb the steps,” society secretary Allen Aubert said. “It was going to be bitter sweet.” The Savaria multi lift, its installation, and a folding wheelchair have been made possible thanks to the G & F Financial Group Foundation. “We were just blown away by the scale and scope of what this is and what this will be,” recalled Thomas Tomasovszky, financial services manager of the Cloverdale branch. He approached approached the G&F Financial Group Foundation to consider supporting the project. The board’s approval came in record time, convening on an emergency basis to consider the application. “We really felt that this was something big – and different, too,” Tomasovszky said. “This is a grand project.” Added financial services officer Shannon Smith: “We just think it’s a great project and we’d like to continue to be a part of it.” Aubert said without the lift, there would be many potential passengers – in addition to volunteers who’ve helped see the project through to this stage – who would otherwise be left watching from the platform as the heritage rail revival pulls out from Cloverdale Station on weekends to Thanksgiving. “We will now have an accessible Interurban,” Aubert said.

Reid’s tenacity and passion commended From page one

Surrey’s Good Citizen of the Year two months ago – a distinction he earned in recognition of more than 50 years of community service. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts called Reid “a truly extraordinary human being” who was passionate, kind, and hard working. “He really set an exemplary example of service and leadership for all of us to follow,” Watts said, speaking from a podium decorated with a large poster of a smiling Reid draped in a Canadian flag poncho. Reid’s tenacity, she noted, “usually meant he ended up getting what he wanted.” Watts was among those on Reid’s distribution list for deliveries of freshly-caught crab – straight from the briny waters of Birch Bay, where the Reids keep a holiday home, a treasure trove of memories for family and friends. “His legacy was everything he touched in the community and in our hearts,” she added. Other speakers included former MP John Reynolds and former B.C. MLAs Kevin Falcon and Grace McCarthy, who spoke of Reid’s days as a member of the Social Credit government. “He was a remarkable MLA,” she said, as the auditorium – festooned with red, white and blue balloons, colours that recalled his years as a Social Credit MLA (1983 to 1991) exploded with applause. Falcon, who entered provincial politics as a result of Reid’s encouragement, said Reid would have loved the tribute.

CLAYTON HEIGHTS SECONDARY

Graduation is a special time for teachers and support staff. On one hand, we will miss our students and the lively interactions we had over the years. On the other, we are so excited to see them embark on the next phase of their lives as they move into the post-secondary world. I hope that they will in some way share our sentiments. Some will Principal Judith Henriques continue with studies and others will choose to go to work. Our grads have already displayed their capacity for extraordinary academic achievement by earning over half a million dollars in academic, athletic and arts awards. The grade 12 females will forever have the bragging rights as the winners of the provincial rugby championship. In addition, our school’s strong service learning program has prepared our graduates to carry on a spirit of community responsibility and philanthropy. My sincere hope is that the knowledge and skills acquired at Clayton Heights will serve them well into the future. I know that the Class of 2013 joins with me in expressing deep appreciation to the teachers, coaches and support staff that helped them achieve their goals. Equally, I know the entire staff at Clayton Heights, along with all your teachers from Kindergarten on, extends their heartfelt congratulations on your graduation and wish you nothing but the best in your future. Here’s to the Class of 2013!
