Rail bypass approved Heritage Railway to build section of dedicated track By Jennifer Lang Work begins this week on a new section of railway through Cloverdale that will give the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society greater control over weekend passenger operations in spite of freight movements. It’s the second summer the society has offered passenger runs on restored car 1225 from Cloverdale to Sullivan Station, thrilling those who remember riding on the B.C. Electric Railway as kids – and winning over a new generation of fans. But due to the sheer volume of grain shipments to the coast, the heritage railway has been sidelined about half the time this summer. Most of the cancellations have been on Saturdays, with the society not knowing until the last minute if the

track would be clear on Sundays, too. “Between the grain backlog, the bad winter and a bumper harvest, it was a perfect storm,” said FVHRS secretary Allen Aubert. Saturday and some Sunday operations are subject to freight movements on the line due to increased grain handling activity, normally not a conflict on weekends. But since the Calgary flood in spring 2013, grain shipments to the coast have been an issue for the fledgling heritage attraction. “We knew last year there could be some challenges,” Aubert said, explaining how the project’s partners came together after a successful debut season to look at how to mitigate the problem.

ALL YOU CAN EAT TUESDAYS!

By Jennifer Lang You don’t have to run, walk, skateboard or push a stroller – or do anything remotely athletic to be part of the Cloverdale Terry Fox Run. In fact, you can just come out and watch. Spectators are welcome. “Come by and grab a coffee or a hotdog,” says Elaine Gooliaeff, organizing committee chair of the Cloverdale event, set for Sunday morning at the Cloverdale Legion. “It’s two bucks more than they had before, to fight cancer.” She’s urging everyone to come out to this year’s event, which features the traditional one-, five-, and 10-km run, walk or stroll plus a host of family-friendly activities, including vintage T-shirt and Terry Fox memorabilia sales, and a popular si-

lent auction featuring gift cards and goodies donated by local businesses. “Everyone is welcome to come,” she says. “It’s a fun, family morning for a great cause.” Gooliaeff, who is Terry’s cousin, has helped organize the Cloverdale run for the past eight years, and participated in the hometown run long before that, so it’s no surprise that she’s a persuasive fundraiser. She says it’s not unusual for strangers to donate cash on the spot when they encounter her as she makes the rounds. A typical encounter was the guy who emptied his wallet and handed over his cash as she was canvassing somebody else entirely. “Just doing that, you’re part of it,” she beams.

The run is put on with “zero budget”, she says, stressing everything is donated. “It’s all grassroots and that’s what Terry wanted. Everything we raise goes back to fighting cancer.” New this year are special prizes for firsttime attendees and those who bring a newcomer to the run, now in its 32nd year. Rock 101’s Kim Seale is back to emcee the event. This year’s silent auction will have more than 100 items, including a handmade quilt, books and DVDs autographed by Fred and Rolly Fox, and even a pair of Terry’s running shoes. Support from Cloverdale businesses and the Cloverdale Legion are a huge part of

the local event’s efforts to raise money for cancer research, Gooliaeff says. “The community’s been really good,” she says. Of course, the enduring appeal of Terry Fox and the legacy of his Marathon of Hope goes a long way, too. “It sells itself when we go out and canvass.” About 140 gift baskets with gift cards and merchandise donated by an astonishing range of Cloverdale merchants have been assembled. A merchandise tent will feature vintage Terry Fox clothing, with older T-shirts going for $5 and $10. Gooliaeff says with the start of the school year on hold, families and children are encouraged to take part in the community event. “With school events unsure this fall, we’re inviting families whose kids usually do the run through school to come out for the community run.” There will be a Kids Zone Vintage Tee play area with face painting, sidewalk chalk, bubble blowing and a clown making balloon animals. Proceeds support the Terry Fox Foundation, a registered charity that consistently allocates a high percentage of donation dollars to cancer research – approximately 84 cents per dollar. Special guest speaker is Jean Hamilton, a 92-yearold actor from North Vancouver who is a threetime cancer survivor (see accompanying story). The event gets underway from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Cloverdale Legion, 17567 57 Avenue. Registration is at 9 a.m. and the run starts at 10 a.m. There’s no minimum pledge and there’s no cost to register. Leashed pets welcome.

Sidewalk commentary JENNIFER LANG PHOTO

Parents have been setting up ‘MLA playdates’ outside MLA offices, protesting the monthslong labour dispute involving teachers. Last Thursday (Sept. 4), it was Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s turn. A small group of parents and kids set up a craft table and chairs on the sidewalk outside her Cloverdale office, which was closed, leaving messages in chalk when they left. “School is essential,” it read. “MLA Playdate – we were here. Listening helps.”

Teachers and EAs have been professionally trained to educate all designations but when the size and composition are too high, every child in that class suffers.

They realized they could eliminate the disruption altogether by building a new section bypassing the bottleneck in Cloverdale. This week, work begins on a 2,000-foot-long section of dedicated track. The bypass will join up with the existing line that runs to Sullivan Station at 152 Street and 64 Avenue, the round-trip destination for the society’s passenger runs for the past two seasons. The bypass will be in place for 2015, allowing uninterrupted, scheduled passenger service for the society. Commercial interruptions affected the society’s operations about 30 per cent of the time last summer, Aubert said. It’s been at least 50 per cent in 2014. “It’s been incredibly frustrating because won’t know from one moment to the next,” whether the line will be free, Aubert said. “We’re open every weekend, but the big question is: Is the big train running?” The new track was approved July 22. Getting the necessary approvals and permissions in place has taken 11 months. So far this summer, more than 2,000 passengers have climbed aboard the Interurban for the 55-minute trip to Sullivan Station and back. That’s about half of the number of passengers served last year, when ridership closed in on nearly 5,500. “We’re down by 50 per cent,” Aubert said. “We’ll probably hit 3,000 by the end of the season.” Turnout has otherwise been “terrific,” he said. “People are forgiving, provided there’s a solution.” The weekend trips, leaving on the hour, run to Thanksgiving (Oct. 13). “This season, we’ll have aggravation right to the end,” Aubert warned, reminding visitors to call ahead or check the society’s Facebook page. Cloverdale Station is open on Saturdays and Sundays even if the train isn’t running. Visitors are welcome to tour the station, and the car barn, where restoration work on BCER car 1304 continues, and take a short speeder ride on the railway track. Speeder rides have been a hit, especially with kids, Aubert said.

The passenger side of the FVHRS’s operations runs with the help of 125 active volunteers. Weekends, there’s a crew of 28 working four hour shifts as greeters, ticket sellers, guides and station managers. “To make the experience real and wonderful,” Aubert explained. “That’s what it is all about – to give people a really excellent experience.” Laying down 2,000 feet of new track represents about $1 million in terms of investment, but the actual cost to the FVHRS will be much lower, thanks to sponsors. Partners on this leg of the journey are the City of Surrey, Southern Railway of B.C., B.C. Hydro, RDM Enterprises and PNR Railworks. For more, visit fvhrs.org and Facebook.com/ FVHRS.

Orphaned squirrels land safely at wildlife refuge Cloverdale ‘Dougies’ being fostered at Critter Care in Langley By Jennifer Lang Eight little baby Douglas squirrels – so young, their eyes were still closed – fell out of their nest in Cloverdale a few weeks ago. Fortunately, they landed safely at Critter Care. Just two weeks old, the little critters were orphaned when their mom was killed in a construction accident on Aug. 18. Right away, the “Dougies”, a small, helpless army needing constant attention, were brought in to Critter Care Wildlife Society in South Langley. That first week, the octet was fed every two hours, even through the night, thanks to two very dedicated interns. In the weeks that followed, the feedings stretched to every three hours, except at night, when they sleep.

Since then, their eyes have opened, and at this rate, staff expect the little furballs will be moving into a cage with branches to climb on. The centre, located at 481 216 Street, Langley, is an animal rescue and rehabilitation facility that’s run on donations and staffed by volunteers and interns from all over the world. Sick, injured an orphaned native B.C. mammals are cared for, and returned to the wild. The society’s volunteers and interns are eager to gain handson experience working with bear cubs, river otters, raccoons and more. Coyotes are among the most common animals from the Cloverdale area to wind up at the wildlife refuge, which takes in animals from Southern B.C. and

the Lower Mainland. The refuge is currently home to more than one dozen fawns, and 127 raccoons, and seven bears, not including the eight Douglas squirrels. The facility doesn’t receive senior government operating grants, relying instead on donations from the public.

Wild walk The wildlife rescue organization is asking supporters to take a walk on the wild side next month. Critter Care Wildlife Society’s 6th annual walk-a-thon fundraiser is Sunday, Oct. 5 at Campbell Valley Regional Park. Registration starts at 10:30 a.m., and the walk begins at 11:30 a.m. Participants are asked to put

on their wildest walking gear and bring family, friends and fourlegged companions for a walk in the park, striking out on either a 2-km or 4-km-route. (Meet at the south entrance, off 8 Avenue.)

There are prizes and surprises for participants who raise more than $100 in pledges. For more information and to register, visit www.crittercarewildlife.org/walkathon, or call 604-530-2054.

The Cloverdale

It has been a beautiful summer in B.C. and opening weekend at Fraser Downs was no exception. Table reservations in the Homestretch were down but people were on the tarmac having an adult beverage, listening to music from a DJ and watching live harness racing right in front of them on the track. Speaking of on the track action, Jim Marino, Bill Davis and Darren Lupul all had two winners. Lupul is probably the most interesting story as he has a very small stable and won with a very impressive twoyear-old filly (Fast Lane Elektra). Another horse to watch will be Millbanks Writer from the Rod Therres stable. You will hear more about her this meet. Veteran trainer/driver/owner Jim Marino snagged two wins from his stable on Friday night (Sept. 5). Alberta invader Paul Davies also hit the winners circle twice. Congratulations

Fast Lane Electra, seen here on opening night (Sept. 4) at Fraser Downs, where the twoyear-old filly trained by Darren Lupul won the fifth race with driver Kevin Anderson.

Paul, always nice to see new faces in the drivers colony. Trainer Allan Molloy won the first two races but the big story here is how his mare, Keep The Dream, beat the boys in the Open Pace in 1:54.4. Looks like veterans Ray Thomson and Dennis Johnston have a nice,

two-year-old colt on their hands. Illwinifican won his first lifetime start in 1:58.3. Racing resumes every Thursday at 6 p.m. and Friday at 7 p.m. The fifth annual Harness Racing B.C. Open House is this Saturday (Sept. 13) from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. There

will be harness demos, barn tours, jog cart rides, shoeing demos, a barbecue and lots of things for the kids to do. Admission is free. It’s at 17740 62 Avenue (Bill Reid Way), Surrey. – Jackson Wittup is executive director of Harness Racing B.C.

Cops hit the road for kids Cloverdale the site of a two-day ‘pole sit’ for cancer awareness More than 100 police officers and emergency services personnel are about to slip into Spandex, strap on their helmets and hit the road as part of the the annual Cops for Cancer cycling tours to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer research. A total of 107 cyclists are participating in four different tours that will visit businesses and schools from Fort St. John in the province’s north to the southernmost reaches of Vancouver Island. “For more than 15 years, communities throughout the Fraser Valley have welcomed us, hosting events that we look forward to each year,” says rider Trevor Sales, the team captain for the Tour de Valley, which takes riders from Tsawwassen to Boston Bar. “It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see the lengths people go to, welcoming and supporting the riders, because they too believe that no child should have to face cancer.” In addition to the Tour de Valley, the Tour de Rock will cover Vancouver Island, the Tour de North will travel through northern British Columbia from Prince George to Prince Rupert (with a stop in Kitimat), and the Tour de Coast will journey around Greater Vancouver and up to Powell River and Pemberton. Cst. Justin Sutton with the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority Police Service is one of six law enforcement officers from Surrey riding in this year’s Tour de Valley.

He’ll be taking part in a pole sit at Save on Foods in Cloverdale this weekend (Sept. 13 and 14), where he’ll sit in a scissor lift high above the parking lot to create awareness and money for the 2014 ride. While the rides begin in September, the cyclists long ago began their fundraising and training efforts. One excursion saw the Tour de Valley riders embarking on a 160-kilometre ride beginning and ending in Abbotsford in August. “All Cops for Cancer riders take part in rigorous training – they need to learn how to pace themselves and ride in a peloton,” says Allan Mugford, Fraser Valley regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society. “But what they can never prepare for is the emotional impact of seeing a child with cancer and the toll it takes on their entire family.” The Cops for Cancer campaign runs through September, with money raised going to fund leading edge cancer research and support programs operated by the Canadian Cancer Society like Camp Goodtimes. Find the tour and donate online at Copsforcancerbc.ca or at Facebook.com/CopsforCancerBC. Tour dates: • Tour de Coast, Sept. 17-25 • Tour de North, Sept. 12-18 • Tour de Rock, Sept. 20-Oct. 3 • Tour de Valley, Sept. 25-Oct. 3

Local farmers thanked Surrey Urban Farmers Market toasts those who bring food to the table Yesterday, the Surrey Urban Farmers Market held its first-ever appreciation day for the folks who grow local food – the city’s farmers. The event was timed to celebrate the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets Farmers Appreciation Week, dedicated to raise awareness of how local food and farmers enrich our lives. Along with live country music, children’s activities, food trucks and various attractions, the Sept. 10 celebration included guest speakers – and a way for shoppers to write thank you notes to local farmers. Ron Tamis of Rondriso Farms, a family-run vegetable and cattle farm north of Cloverdale, is a firm believer in the importance of supporting local farms. “The more we shop locally, the more we start to support each other and keep our Canadian dollars in the community,” said Tamis, who is among the vendors at the Surrey Urban Farmers Market. “This means people will have to eat somewhat seasonally again and go back to preserving and freezing, but knowing who grew your food and what’s in it far exceeds the effort.” Rondriso Farms has been nominated in the local meat or poultry producer category at the 2014 We Heart Local Awards, celebrating B.C.’s best local growers, producers and businesses. Online voting is open to Sept. 16. For more, visit WeheartLocalBC.Ca.

Regional District fears farmers may not benefit from eased use of ALR land By Jeff Nagel Lower Mainland politicians registered serious concerns about planned reforms to the Agricultural Land Reserve in a consultation session with B.C. government officials last month. The province wants to loosen the restrictions on non-farm uses of ALR land to help improve the survival odds of struggling farmers and expects to introduce revised regulations by December. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considering allowing breweries, distilleries and meaderies on farmland, retail sales of food and beverages, and other options to generate extra business revenue from farmland. The Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley politiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns are not with the principle of expanded uses to support farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economic viability, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional planning and agriculture committee, but that there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;loopholes so big you can drive a truck through.â&#x20AC;? Half the ALR land in Metro Vancouver is not currently used for farming and the regional district has actively campaigned for taxation reforms to discourage non-farm uses.

Seasons come, and seasons go I love summer, and sometimes wish that would last year round. I enjoy the heat of the sun. I love to be at the beach and to be outdoors in shorts and sandals. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning to feel like fall again - the summer heat wave is cooling off and the days are getting shorter. While summer may not quite be over, its end will surely come, as it does every year. Reflecting on this reminded me of a passage in the Bible, Genesis 8:22. There, the Lord assures us that: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.â&#x20AC;?Â He said this shortly after the great flood waters had dried up off the earth and Noah and the animals came off the ark to live on it once again. God promised that the order of the seasons, as he had created them in the beginning, would continue as long as the earth exists. So, while I may wish for year-long summers, the changing seasons

remind me of the faithfulness of God. My experience of the end of summer reassures me that he is faithful to that promise made so long ago.Â And, if he keeps that promise, I also have confidence that he is true to all of his promises. The Bible is full of them: promises of his love, his nearness, and life without end in a world without suffering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the list is endless! So, as you ponder the end of summer, why not pick up your Bible and discover the wealth of sure promises made by God that can be yours as well? Â In fact, we invite you to join us on Sundays as we do just that. By George Gunnink

No matter how you look at it, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a great read.

The Cloverdale

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who is a turkey farmer, said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s justification for the government to proceed â&#x20AC;&#x153;cautiouslyâ&#x20AC;? in encouraging industry on ALR land that directly supports and benefits agriculture, such as processing plants. Improving farmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to market their products helps ensure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not â&#x20AC;&#x153;held hostage by large corporations,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some local farms have been innovative in setting up their own processing operations, he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to allow some of this to happen on farmland,â&#x20AC;? Froese said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to be open to some of this changing face of agriculture.â&#x20AC;? Also proposed is allowing anaerobic digesters in the ALR to generate energy from farm-sourced manure and other agriculture waste. Metro says those applications should remain a case-by-case decision of the ALC due to impacts on neighbours. Regional officials also protested the short fourweek period for submissions, which had to be in by Aug. 22. Metro has also budgeted $20,000 to work with cities, the province and farmers to investigate potential reforms to property tax policies that could spur more actual farming of farmland.
