A shooting a week Gunfire on Sunday raises violence tally for 2016

Team voluntourism Along with taking in the usual tourist sights, rugby teams clean planes With memories of seeing the Pacific ocean for the first time, and trips to Granville Island, the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Stanley Park, it’s an exchange trip to Canada’s west coast one girls’ rugby team from Ontario won’t soon forget. But it’s a sure bet St. Joseph’s team from Cornwall didn’t expect their Cloverdale counterparts – Lord Tweedsmuir’s girls’ rugby team – to take them to the Canadian Museum of Flight at Langley Airport for their last day in B.C. They spent the day cleaning military jets and helicopters as part of a volunteer project for the exchange teams. It was an action-packed five-night trip (May 2-6) that started with a 12-hour flight delay, meaning the girls from Ontario played their first games of the season with just three hours of sleep. Throughout the visit to the West Coast, the girls bonded and made amazing memories, according to Montana Matthews, a member of the Lord Tweedsmuir rugby team. Both teams are excited for the Ontario portion of the exchange in May. The exchange was made possible through the YMCA. – Cloverdale Reporter

Which trees are covered by Surrey’s bylaw?

TIP WEEK of the

urrey is embarking on an ambitious plan to increase the number of shade trees in public spaces. The 2015/2016 Shade Tree Management Plan is making the rounds through various city committees, where staff say it is being well-received. As of last year, there were more than 95,000 shade trees in Surrey public spaces (natural forests are excluded from the count), and the city was planting 5,000 more each year, according to the study. The draft plan calls on the city to plant 1,000 street trees and 500 in parks annually for the next 10 years. The 51-page plan indicates for every dollar spent planting a shade tree, the city harvests $3.18 in benefits, such as energy savings, carbon sequestration, air quality improvements, storm water retention, increased property values and other benefits. The plan calls or a mix of species to better ensure long-term survival of the trees. Surrey’s Manager of Parks Owen Croy said right now, the city is unevenly weighted towards using Western red cedar. “And we’ve got more maples in our inventory than would be desirable,” Croy said. “So we want to slow down on maples, slow down on Western red cedar, and concentrate on other species.” The report also calls for care for the city’s tree canopy cover (how much area is covered by the full bloom of the tree). “The extent of a city’s canopy cover is considered to be an indicator of the ecological well-being of the city,” the draft plan states. The current canopy cover for parkland trees is an estimated 5.7 per cent. According to a separate 2013 study, the citywide tree canopy has dropped to 27 per cent two years ago from 33 per cent in 2001. An ideal citywide coverage would be 40 per cent for an environmentally friendly city. Croy said the Shade Tree Management Plan was not put in place to offset any losses of canopy. “This shade tree management plan was not triggered by that study,” Croy said. “We look to have best management practices instituted for our municipally owned trees, which only comprise a small portion of the entire population of trees across the city.” As this plan comes to light, other cities are calling Surrey for input into their own shade tree plans and strategies. Croy said Surrey residents have already likely seen evidence of the greening of Surrey’s streets and parks. The plan puts an existing practice into a longer-term vision. Croy also wants to see the creation of a shade tree advisory committee, whereby any future adjustments can be made to enhance the city’s canopy cover on public lands. The 2015/2016 Shade Tree Management Plan is expected before city council sometime in April. – Kevin Diakiw, Black Press

Rapid growth claiming trees Residents are rightfully rankled when they see trees cut down en masse for development

urrey has long been faced with choosing between a clearcut and a hard place when it comes to development in the

city. Despite a tree-preservation bylaw enacted a decade ago, the number of large trees cut down has steadily risen over the years. This isn’t surprising given Surrey’s demographics: a rapidly growing regional centre, a population top-heavy with young families, and a burgeoning real estate market that shows no signs of slowing. In 2015, Surrey recorded more than $1 billion worth of residential construction – the second-highest value in the city’s history. The projects were equally split between single-family dwellings, houses with secondary suites and townhomes, and condos. So it should come as no shock that 2015 was also the year the city recorded a 28-percent increase over 2014 in the number of trees cut down. More than 8,500 bylaw-sized trees (30 centimetres in diameter at breast height) fell to the axe in 2015 – an increase of 1,848 large trees cut down in 2014. The average annual cut of bylaw-sized trees over the last 12 years amounts to 7,850, so by comparison, 2015 was not a

good year for friends of the forest. But here’s the rub: How to accommodate more people without wandering into the woods? Residents are regularly – and rightfully – rankled when they see trees cut down en masse, particularly from one of the many unassuming pockets of green space dotted throughout the city. North Surrey senior Raymond Griffith was recently angered by the razing of huge trees near his home as part of a city sewer project. “Was it really necessary to remove all those big, beautiful cedar trees?” he wondered. It’s a valid question. While trees such as cottonwood or alder – often referred to by council and staff as “scrub” trees – usually must come down because they don’t survive development well, it’s harder to explain the need to get rid of the city’s gentle giants. Does Surrey and the rest of Metro Vancouver need more housing? Yes. Can officials make environmentally smart decisions that better protect and/or replace existing trees? They must. It’s the only way to ensure all those new homes are worth living in.

Rodeo association president re-elected Shannon Claypool

By Jennifer Lang Make it nine years and counting for Shannon Claypool, who has been re-elected president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association’s executive committee.

Claypool, who was re-elected to the position by the board of directors at the annual general meeting March 8, has held the position for nine years. “It’s a lot of fun, a lot of hours,” he said. Other longtime

volunteers have also been re-elected to the board: Penny Smythe, will serve as first vice president, Randy Miller has been appointed second vice president, and Gerry Spielmacher was chosen as treasurer. The association –

with more than 300 volunteers and a staff of 11 – puts on the annual Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair each May long weekend, a volunteer-driven event that draws tens of thousands to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

WE ARE SO HAPPY! WHAT I AM A AMAZED! DIFFERENCE

“2016 is an incredibly important year for this organization,” Claypool said. “We are celebrating the 70th annual Cloverdale Rodeo, and everyone associated with the event is very excited. We have a number of things planned to mark this important year and we believe that 2016 will go down as the best in our history.” Rich Kitos, a 29year Vancouver Police Department member and experienced rodeo competitor, has been elected as a new board member. Kitos is also a Cloverdale Rodeo volunteer. In addition to Claypool, Smyth, Miller, Spielmacher, and Kitos, the 2016 Cloverdale Rodeo Association board of directors elected earlier this month are: Cathy James, George Siudut, Kelsey Swantson, Bob Nielsen, John Kageorge, Nicole Reader and Surrey Coun. Dave Woods, representing the City of Surrey. Long time board member Rob Marshall has retired from the board, but plans to stay active within the association. The 2016 Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair is May 20-23.

The association is also responsible for the day-to-day management of the eight facilities on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, which play host to more than 1,000 events each year, from trade shows and concerts to festivals, sporting events, animals shows, swap meets, flea markets and meetings.

Rodeo pricing The cost of a 2016 Cloverdale Rodeo performance will be $25 per person, with admission to the Country Fair at $10 a head. Children aged 12 and under are admitted for free, with adult supervision. Pre-purchase gate admission at London Drugs for $8.

Benefit concert planned ‘From the Heart’ By Jennifer Lang Organizers of an upcoming country music concert in Cloverdale say they’ve been moved to act by the pluck and determination of a young man who has refused to give up his cancer fight. From the Heart of Country – Never Give Up is a fundraiser featuring live performances by Country music star Rod Black, Jesse Allen, FM, and special guest Trevor Dennis. The event is slated for Saturday, April 2 at Shannon Hall, and all proceeds will go directly to Brandon Durieux’s medical costs. Brandon is a 24-year-old South Surrey native and newlywed who is undergoing treatment for leukemia at a clinic in Texas, at enormous personal expense. The fundraising concert will include a raffle and silent auction along with the music performances by the Southern Row Records artists. Organizer Lori Watson says they’re looking for donations of auction items and cash contributions to a gofundme campaign that has been set up by the couple. Remarkably, Watson has never met Brandon Durieux – nor has headliner Rod Black, a country singer known for the song Keepin On.

“I heard about Brandon’s story from my server at Cactus Club,” says Watson, explaining at the time, she was on the phone talking to her sister, who was with Black, and he heard the story, too. “We both wanted to do something.” What initially started as plan for

Safety Recall Notice

As of Monday, they had about 300 tickets left for the event, which will be recorded and turned into a video that will be available for download by donation. Meanwhile, there is promising news out of Texas, where Michelle Durieux is reporting that initial treatments seem to be working. “A month and a half ago, Brandon’s primary doctor in Canada told us that he was terminally ill,” Michelle writes in an update on the gofundme page. “Today, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I can’t even begin to tell you all how excited we are that this treatment is working!” Last August, they received the devastating news that Brandon had Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a rapidly-progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. When chemotherapy failed, Brandon was put on a drug trial late last year. It seemed at first things were improving, but in late

January, the couple was told by Brandon’s doctors there were no other treatment options. He’s now being treated as part of a drug trial at MD Anderson Cancer Centre, in Houston, TX. The cost isn’t covered by B.C.’s Medical Services Plan. The last eight months of treatment have been long and difficult, Michelle added. “Through it all, Brandon has been nothing but brave, courageous, positive and strong,” she says. “I am amazed at the strength of my husband who inspires me each and every day. He will never give up or give in.” A fundraising goal of $250,000 has been set to help the couple cover medical costs at www.gofundme. com/HelpBrandonBeatAML. About half of that has been reached. Tickets to the April 2 show are are $25. They’re available at eventbrite. com/e/from-the-heart-of-countrynever-give-up-tickets-22548724843.

Record number of teams set for Surrey

7474041

31 teams coming to Women’s World Softball Championships By Nick Greenizan A record number of teams will be stepping on the ball diamond this summer when Surrey hosts the Women’s World Softball Championships. The World Baseball Softball Federation has announced that 31 teams – a record number – would be competing at the international event, which is set for July 15-24 at Softball City in the South Surrey Athletic Park. Among the 31 entries taking part are a handful of countries who will be familiar to local softball fans through their past participation at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships – including Canada, the United States, Australia, Japan, Chinese-Taipei and Cuba. As well, a number of countries will be taking part at women’s world championships for the first time – Brazil, Ecuador, India, Ireland, Israel, Kenya, Pakistan, Peru, Serbia, Switzerland and Uganda. “We are thrilled to announce the countries scheduled to participate,” said tournament chairman Greg Timm. “This is just the beginning of many exciting announcements of what’s to come to Surrey this July, as we host this world-class event.” Japan will enter the tournament as the two-time defending champions, having won in 2014 (Haarlem, Neth-

erlands) and 2012 (Whitehorse). The U.S. squad will also be among the top contenders, having won nine total women’s world championships; they’ve finished with silver medals in each of the last two tournaments. Setting a record for participants – and introducing non-traditional softball countries to the sport – has been a goal of the organizing committee since Surrey was awarded the event bid back in 2013. Timm led a contingent of organizers to the 2014 world championships in the Netherlands, saying at the time they were there to “develop some relationships” and explain to all countries, not just the traditional softball powers, how they can qualify for the 2016 tournament. Thirty umpires from 18 countries were also appointed to the 2016 world championships last week. The tournament will also be hosting the Canadian Open Fastpitch Futures Gold (U18A), Futures Select (U18B), Showcase Gold (U16A), and Showcase Select (U16B) divisions at Cloverdale Athletic Park and Sunnyside Park.

Jovan not only plays soccer, he volunteers for the club, looking at game schedules and setting up nets and corner flags. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel proud of that because he belongs to a community now. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the bigger picture,â&#x20AC;? says Bura.

By Boaz Joseph During a water break, Gurveer Singh Saggar approaches his father Sarup on the sideline fence on a Newton soccer pitch. He struggles to get some words out, but his father already has the idea of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a good time,â&#x20AC;? says Gurveer, 20, a member of the Surrey Football Club (SFC) Adapted Soccer program. Gurveer has two younger siblings who play U12 and U13 soccer, but Gurveer has autism and ADHD, and has had trouble fitting into recreational sports. All that changed with Adapted Soccer, which is designed for children with developmental disabilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; complete with camaraderie and supervision by experienced soccer coaches. For an hour each week, they do warmups, drills and pick-up soccer games at Newton Athletic Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turf 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can tell with his smile he is having a good time,â&#x20AC;? says his father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he is not having a good time, you can tell.â&#x20AC;? The program is the brainchild of Rob Bura, who was looking to support his 14-year-old son Jovan, who tried his best on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakest soccer teams. But he still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be sitting on the sidelines because he just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fitting in,â&#x20AC;? Bura says.

Lonsbery claims super league Contributed The Cloverdale Masters Super League finished its 2015/16 season with the Lonsbery (Coast & Country Diner/ Caterers) foursome as overall season winners. The team was skipped by Bruce Lonsbery, with Jack Finnbogason, Bob Byrne and Kiyo Hamade. For the pre-Christmas season, the Joe Deptuck rink (Maximum Collision) came second and post-Christmas it was the Karen Lepine rink (Gary’s Automotive). The league is for all curlers over 60 playing at a competitive level. This year, curlers from Langely, Peace Arch (White Rock), Delta, Coquitlam and Cloverdale participated in the 20-game schedule.

More kids needed for next session From previous page

The coaches are ready, says Samra. “We’ve budgeted for uniforms and field times and referees. We’ve got everything ready to go, we just don’t have (enough) kids.” The club has BC Soccer’s permission to organize games by skill level rather than age. “We want those kids to come out and play soccer,” says Samra.

The first and second eight-week sessions ran last year, and the third one ended March 7. Running roughly parallel with the school calendar, the next session will begin after spring break. The SFC’s Adapted Soccer program runs on Mondays from 5-6 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park. The cost is $40. For more information or to register or volunteer, call the SFC at 604-356-2414. – Black Press
