Rail bypass approved

By Jennifer LangWork begins this week on a new

section of railway through Cloverdale that will give the Fraser Valley Heri-tage Railway Society greater control over weekend passenger operations in spite of freight movements.

It’s the second summer the society has off ered passenger runs on re-stored 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 heri-tage 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 sec-retary Allen Aubert.

Saturday and some Sunday op-erations are subject to freight move-ments on the line due to increased grain handling activity, normally not a confl ict on weekends. But since the Calgary fl ood in spring 2013, grain shipments to the coast have been an issue for the fl edgling heritage attrac-tion.

“We knew last year there could be some challenges,” Aubert said, ex-plaining how the project’s partners came together aft er a successful debut season to look at how to mitigate the problem.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOCloverdale organizers Elaine Pollard and Elaine Gooliaeff.

For one, for all, for Terry FoxBy Jennifer LangYou don’t have to run, walk, skateboard

or push a stroller – or do anything re-motely 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 coff ee or a hotdog,” says Elaine Gooliaeff , organizing commit-tee chair of the Cloverdale event, set for Sunday morning at the Cloverdale Legion. “It’s two bucks more than they had before, to fi ght cancer.”

She’s urging everyone to come out to this year’s event, which features the tradi-tional one-, fi ve-, and 10-km run, walk or stroll plus a host of family-friendly activi-ties, including vintage T-shirt and Terry Fox memorabilia sales, and a popular si-

lent auction featuring gift cards and good-ies 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 en-counter 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.

Th e run is put on with “zero budget”, shesays, stressing everything is donated.

“It’s all grassroots and that’s what Terry wanted. Everything we raise goes back to fi ghting cancer.”

New this year are special prizes for fi rst-time attendees and those who bring a newcomer to the run, now in its 32nd year.

Rock 101’s Kim Seale is back to emceethe event.

Th is year’s silent auction will have more than 100 items, including a handmadequilt, 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 eff orts to raise money for cancer research, Gooliaeff says.

“Th e 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 mer-chandise donated by an astonishing range of Clo-verdale 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, fam-ilies and children are encour-aged to take part in the com-munity 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.”

Th ere will be a Kids Zone 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-year-old actor from North Vancouver who is a three-time cancer survivor (see accompanying story).

Th e event gets underway from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Cloverdale Legion, 17567 57 Avenue. Registra-tion is at 9 a.m. and the run starts at 10 a.m. Th ere’s no minimum pledge and there’s no cost to register. Leashed pets welcome.

Families, kids all welcomeFrom page one

She puts that s**t on everythingCancer-surviving actress to speak at the Cloverdale Terry Fox Run Sept. 14

“I put that s**t on everything!”Th e line has made actress Jean

Hamilton famous, but she admits she didn’t want to say it the fi rst time she saw the script.

Th e determined 91-year-old has faced many things she didn’t fore-see in her lifetime, including three bouts with cancer. She’ll be talking about her experiences at this year’s Cloverdale Terry Fox Run at the Cloverdale Legion on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Autographed bottles of Frank’s RedHot Sauce will also be available by donation at the annual fundrais-er for cancer research.

Hamilton’s fi rst experience with cancer was cervical cancer at age 34.

Radiation then was not selective, and most of her month in hospital was spent recovering not from the cancer, but from the radiation that had cooked her entire abdominal cavity.

She had two young children at the time, “and I just knew that dy-ing wasn’t an option.”

When doctors recommended a radical mastectomy aft er the dis-covery of a lump in her breast when she was 50, Hamilton says, “I decided that radical treatment was not on the books any more. I opted for a lumpectomy, and they removed almost half of my left breast.”

Nine years later, the cervical cancer re-curred, requiring more surgery.

Th e great-grandmother began her act-

ing career at age 86, aft er a friend gave her name to an agent. It was her fi ft h career. She had worked in the T. Eaton Co. mail order house, which she left to pursue an accounting degree while working as a skip tracer.

“It took cancer to realize that being self-centred is not the way to live,” she says. “Th e answer is to try and help others.”

When the Second World War end-ed and the men came home, she wasfi red.

She ran her husband’s business for23 years, but aft er their divorce shefound she’d gone from well-to-do to poor.

What then began as administering asurvey for the city welfare departmentmorphed into her handling client in-take, and eventually getting her ac-creditation as a social worker through UBC extension courses.

Aft er several years of travelling with her second husband, she spent threeyears housesitting, then ran her own gardening business until she herniateda disc.

She thought she was retired until the agent who’d been given her namecalled and told her she had an audition for her.

She auditioned the next day. When they told her, “You’re perfect!” sheresponded, “Th ank you very much. I know I am.”

Since then, Hamilton has shot printand TV ads in New York and London,England.

She admits that she likes a break af-ter an hour or so of work now.

“I simply don’t have the energy I hadwhen I was 80.”

Registration for the annual Cloverdale Terry Fox Run begins at 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Cloverdale Legion at 17567 57 Ave. Hamilton will speak short-ly before the run starts at 10 a.m.

Laurie Larsen urges B.C. premier, education minister, to sit in a class for a day to ‘fully understand’

Class size and composition a concern for Surrey trustee

Sidewalk commentary

Parents have been set-ting up ‘MLA playdates’

outside MLA offi ces, protesting the months-

long 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 offi ce, which

was closed, leaving mes-sages in chalk when they left. “School is essential,”

it read. “MLA Playdate – we were here. Listening

helps.”

Dear Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender;

I am writing this as trustee of the Surrey Board of Education but not at the direction of the board.

I urge again for Vince Ready immediately engage and return in unfet-tered mediation between the parties.

As a trustee, I cannot state more earnestly that it is the students who are suff ering. I am fortu-nate that I have the privilege to home school my grandchild until school starts and recognize so many parents are struggling with daycare, and can’t even consider the educational needs that are being missed.

Personally I support bill E80

being decided in the courts, where it is now. Every single child, whether they have a desig-nation or not, deserve a quality education. I am confi dent once this is removed from the bargain-ing table, things will progress very fast. Again I am not repre-

senting the board on this opinion. It is my own.

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 suff ers.

In all my letters, I have suggest-ed that you both sit in a class for a day so you can fully understand what class size and composition actually means and looks like in the classroom. Most of the public does not grasp the magnitude of

this issue. At public board meetings, I

am always questioning the class sizes and composition where it

had been exceeded. It has been a concern for me as a trustee for six years.

As a trustee, I represent admin-istration, staff , CUPE workers, teachers parents but, most im-portantly, children. As a trustee, I have no infl uence to bring the parties together but only advocate for the students and stand up for my beliefs.

Laurie Larsen Trustee and Vice Chair, Surrey

Board of EducationEditor’s note: Larsen has sent nine

open letters to Fassbender and Clark over the past four months about the

ongoing labour dispute (including one she wrote on Sept. 6 calling for binding arbitration), and says she has received one reply: An assistant from the Offi ce

of the Premier referred her to the government’s website.

From page one

‘Th e big question: is the big train running?’

FILE PHOTOCar 1225 outside Cloverdale Station in 2013.

Th ey realized they could eliminate the disruption altogether by building a new section bypassing the bottleneck in Cloverdale.

Th is week, work begins on a 2,000-foot-long sec-tion of dedicated track.

Th e 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.

Th e bypass will be in place for 2015, allowing uninterrupted, scheduled passenger service for the society.

Commercial interruptions aff ected the society’s operations about 30 per cent of the time last sum-mer, 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?”

Th e 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 passen-gers have climbed aboard the Interurban for the 55-minute trip to Sullivan Station and back. Th at’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 “terrifi c,” he said. “People are forgiving, provided there’s a solution.”

Th e weekend trips, leaving on the hour, run to Th anksgiving (Oct. 13).

“Th is 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 Sun-days 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 rail-way track. Speeder rides have been a hit, especially with kids, Aubert said.

Th e passenger side of the FVHRS’s operations runs with the help of 125 active volunteers. Week-ends, there’s a crew of 28 working four hour shift s as greeters, ticket sellers, guides and station managers.

“To make the experience real and wonderful,” Aubert explained. “Th at’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 ac-tual 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.

The Cloverdale

Orphaned squirrels land safely at wildlife refuge

By Jennifer LangEight 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 con-struction accident on Aug. 18.

Right away, the “Dougies”, a small, helpless army needing constant attention, were brought in to Critter Care Wildlife Soci-ety 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 branch-es to climb on.

The centre, located at 481 216 Street, Langley, is an animal rescue and rehabilitation facil-ity that’s run on donations and staffed by volunteers and interns from all over the world.

Sick, injured an orphaned na-tive B.C. mammals are cared for, and returned to the wild.

The society’s volunteers and interns are eager to gain hands-on 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 dona-tions from the public.

Wild walk The wildlife rescue organiza-

tion is asking supporters to take a walk on the wild side next month.

Critter Care Wildlife Soci-ety’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 four-legged 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 Av-enue.)

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

The Cloverdale

Racing off to a sunny start at Fraser Downs

 It has been a beauti-ful summer in B.C. and opening weekend at Fraser Downs was no exception. Table reser-vations in the Home-stretch 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 two-year-old fi lly (Fast Lane Elektra). Another horse to watch will be Mill-banks Writer from the Rod Th erres stable. You will hear more about her this meet.

Veteran trainer/driv-er/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

Paul, always nice to see new faces in the drivers colony.

Trainer Allan Molloy won the fi rst two races but the big story here is how his mare, Keep Th e Dream, beat the boys in the Open Pace in 1:54.4. 

Looks like veterans Ray Th omson and Den-nis Johnston have a nice,

two-year-old colt on their hands. Illwinifi can won his fi rst lifetime start in 1:58.3.

Racing resumes every Th ursday at 6 p.m. and Friday at 7 p.m. 

Th e fi ft h annual Har-ness Racing B.C. Open House is this Saturday (Sept. 13) from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Th ere

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 Av-enue (Bill Reid Way), Surrey.– Jackson Wittup is execu-tive director of Harness Racing B.C.

Cops hit the road for kidsMore than 100 police offi cers 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 diff erent 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 through-out 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 support-ing 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 Colum-bia from Prince George to Prince Rupert (with a stop in Kitimat), and the Tour de Coast will jour-ney 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 offi cers from Surrey riding in this year’s Tour de Valley.

He’ll be taking part in a pole sit at Save on Foodsin Cloverdale this weekend (Sept. 13 and 14), where he’ll sit in a scissor lift high above the park-ing lot to create awareness and money for the 2014ride.

While the rides begin in September, the cyclists long ago began their fundraising and training ef-forts.

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 rigoroustraining – they need to learn how to pace them-selves 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 withcancer and the toll it takes on their entire family.”

Th e Cops for Cancer campaign runs throughSeptember, with money raised going to fund lead-ing edge cancer research and support programs operated by the Canadian Cancer Society likeCamp Goodtimes.

Local farmers thankedSurrey Urban Farmers Market toasts those who bring food to the table

Yesterday, the Surrey Urban Farmers Market held its fi rst-ever appreciation day for the folks who grow local food – the city’s farmers.

Th e event was timed to celebrate the B.C. Associa-tion 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 activi-ties, 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 veg-etable and cattle farm north of Cloverdale, is a fi rm believer in the importance of supporting local farms.

“Th e more we shop locally, the more we start to sup-port each other and keep our Canadian dollars in the community,” said Tamis, who is among the vendors at the Surrey Urban Farmers Market. “Th is 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 eff ort.”

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 grow-ers, producers and businesses. Online voting is open to Sept. 16. For more, visit WeheartLocalBC.Ca.

Rondriso Farms will be one of the local vendors at Cloverdale’s Fall Market this Saturday, Sept. 13 on 176 Street from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Farm business reform proposalspanned by Metro Vancouver reps

By Jeff NagelLower Mainland politi-

cians registered serious con-cerns about planned reforms to the Agricultural Land Reserve in a consultation session with B.C. govern-ment 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 De-cember.

It’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 politi-cians’ concerns are not with the principle of expanded uses to support farmers’ economic viability, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee, but that there are “loopholes so big you can drive a truck through.”

Half the ALR land in Metro Vancouver is not currently used for farming and the regional district has actively campaigned for taxa-tion reforms to discourage non-farm uses.

Metro’s submission to the agriculture ministry warns there’s no assurance farmers

will benefit from the re-forms, rather than non-farm business operators and land speculators.

The submission says existing businesses may be unfairly penalized if looser rules on non-farm uses prompt their competitors to move from industrial or commercial zones where they pay relatively high business prop-erty taxes to ALR farmland with low agricultural tax rates.

“The decision would create a ‘slippery slope’ situation that could easily result in an escalation of agricultural land values to the extent that farmers would be unable to afford land in the ALR,” it says.

“I can see all sorts of busi-nesses buying up farmland thinking ‘We can operate our body shop on farmland,’” Delta Coun. Ian Paton said.

Metro opposed most of the proposed changes in its submission, urging the prov-ince to shelve them and first bolster enforcement of rules that ban illegal fi ll dumping on ALR land, retail sale of products that come mostly from off the farm and to deter the building of giant country estate mansions on farmland.

Paton also questioned how any eased business restric-tions can be enforced since the Agricultural Land Com-mission has just two bylaw enforcement officers to patrol the entire province.

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves noted win-eries already set up on ALR land could conceivably add restaurants and banquet halls that could and should instead be built on commer-cial land within urban areas, where they’re better served by transit and utili-ties.

Non-farm uses have been granted in the past but must under the current rules be approved by the ALC.

Steves noted the Ocean Spray berry processing plant in Richmond was approved and built under the existing regulations.

“There are ways of doing these things without opening it up wide open and turning it into a Wild West Show of building anything you want on farmland,” Steves said.

Surrey Coun. Linda Hep-ner said Surrey is prepared to consider distilleries and breweries on farmland, but not allowing them tasting rooms or to sell alcohol pro-duced off-premises.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who is a turkey farmer, said there’s justifica-tion for the government to proceed “cautiously” in en-couraging industry on ALR land that directly supports and benefits agriculture, such as processing plants.

Improving farms’ ability to market their products helps ensure they’re not “held hos-tage by large corporations,” he said.

Some local farms have been innovative in setting up their own processing opera-tions, he noted.

“We have to allow some of this to happen on farmland,” Froese said. “We have to be open to some of this chang-ing face of agriculture.”

Also proposed is allow-ing 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 four-week 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 farm-ing of farmland.

Regional District fears farmers may not benefi t from eased use of ALR land

Linda Hepner

Seasons come, and seasons goI 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, it’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.Refl ecting on this reminded me of a passage in the Bible, Genesis 8:22. There, the Lord assures us that: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”  He said this shortly after the great fl ood 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.  And, if he keeps that promise, I also have confi dence 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 – 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?   In fact, we invite you to join us on Sundays as we do just that.
