On track to break ground

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSurrey heritage advocate Judy Higginbotham steps down from Interurban rail car #1225 during a recent visit to the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society’s new car barn in Cloverdale.

By Jennifer LangCloverdale’s heritage rail revival is

moving along rapidly, with plans to launch weekend passenger service next spring well underway, and con-struction on a replica electric railway station set to begin this month.

Since moving operations from Sullivan to Cloverdale three months ago, the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society’s project has sparked the public’s imagination, with new members signing up at a recent open house and dozens more coming for-ward to volunteer as con-ductors, operators, ticket masters and maintenance crew.

Using volunteers, the society plans to launch passenger operations out of Cloverdale on the May long weekend – when thousands of people will be in town for the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.

Passenger service will operate weekends to � anksgiving 2013 be-tween Cloverdale and Sullivan Station

at 152 Street and 64 Avenue, where there’s already a replica station. It’s being relocated on the property next week.

And right on schedule, this week a crew is to begin excavating the site at 5554 176 Street in preparation for the imminent start of construction on

Cloverdale Station. � e replica BC Electric

Railway station is being built using the original blueprints and plans, and the society has high hopes that the building will be more than just walls, a roof and a plat-form by the time the pas-senger runs are launched.

Society secretary Allen Aubert says there are more than 300 active memberships – many of them seniors with the expertise and experi-ence needed to refurbish the old elec-tric rail cars.

Now the society is reaching out to volunteer tradespeople such as

“[Tourists] will come in on the modern

and transfer to the historic.”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTODonation boxes in the warehouse.

Hamper appeal is underwayBy Jennifer LangIf you’re in need, the Cloverdale Christ-

mas Hamper Program is there to help.� e locally-operated volunteer initiative

runs through the combined e� orts of an entire community of local individuals and groups, distributing hampers and gi� s to Cloverdale’s less fortunate residents.

Churches, schools, plus many business-es and organizations all work together to ensure Christmas comes to everyone in Cloverdale.

Last year, more than $50,000 in dona-tions of cash and food helped 325 adults and 200 children.

“� at’s about 300 families,” says Kevin Lunder, who heads up the program along with his wife, Trish. � e Lunders are members of Paci� c Community Church

at 5337 180 Street, which acts as a nerve centre each December, when hundreds of hampers are assembled inside its ample warehouse and a large toy room is created.

Already more than 200 donation boxes have been deployed across Cloverdale, in-side businesses and schools.

“� is year, more than ever, we need the cash donations,” says Kevin, who also asks that people who are donating non-perish-able food items ensure that any canned goods are not past their expiration date.

He asks that donations are in no later than Dec. 10, to leave enough time to as-semble the hampers. “More than 800 box-es of food are put together, which is huge.”

� e program will need volunteers to help work on the hamper assembly line at the warehouse during “Hamper Week,”

Monday Dec. 10 to Saturday, Dec. 15, between the hours of 1 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. Shi� s of 1 to 2 hours are available, or whatever you can spare.

� is year’s application deadline is Tues-day, Dec. 5. Application forms can be downloaded at www.paci� ccommunity.ca.

Hamper pick up is Saturday, Dec. 15 at Paci� c Community Church.

For more information about volunteer-ing, donating or applying, call 604-574-4001 Ext. 107. Hamper application forms can be downloaded at www.paci� ccommu-nity.ca.

Donations of cash, food, merchandise and gi� s are accepted. Cash donations re-ceive a tax deductible receipt. Please make cheques payable to Paci� c Community Church.

carpenters who do fine woodwork and suppli-ers willing to donate the extras like wooden shingles to the Clover-dale Station project.

“This project is the People’s Railway, because it’s all done by volunteers,” he said.

The project recently

got a big boost from RDM Enterprises, a family-run opera-tion that’s providing excavating services, and Seagate Structures Ltd., which has climbed aboard as construction managers, helping the society close the gap on a $1.5 million fundrais-ing goal for Cloverdale Station.

The replica 1909 station will have two rooms – one to house artifacts from the Sur-rey Museum. The other is a waiting room that will do double-duty as a location for heritage programming in the off-season from Octo-ber to mid-May.

If more money isn’t raised and work-in-kind along with materials aren’t forth-coming, the station will still be built, but it won’t be complete; Aubert said there will be a foundation, walls, a roof and a platform, but it won’t have heritage-style win-dows or doors, and the interiors won’t be finished.

“We’ve got enough resources to make a start,” Aubert said. “The building will go up.”

A wish list of trades and materials is pres-ently being drawn up.

Meantime, with the society’s move to Cloverdale more or less complete, “We’re get-ting a lot more young people interested,” FVHRS chair John Sprung told members of the Surrey Heritage

Society last month. “There’s a history to

this area and they want to know more about it.”

The society believes tourists and rail buffs will be attracted by the prospect of riding the original cars on the original BC Electric In-terurban line, 60 years after the last Interur-ban passed through Surrey.

This fall, visitors poured into the new Cloverdale car barn to view the refurbished Interurbans and a vintage street car, nicknamed the Clover Belle, inside a space that’s essentially a ga-rage, Sprung said.

The goal is to get passenger service to Sullivan this spring,

but it’s not the end of the journey.

Sprung, in speak-ing with the Surrey Heritage Society, said the FVHRS wants to one day extend the service all the way to the Skytrain station at Scott Road.

Tourists arriving at Vancouver Interna-tional Airport or by cruise ship will be able to “come in on the modern and transfer to the historic” at Scott Road, boarding the In-terurban to Cloverdale,

he said.The project dovetails

neatly with other heri-tage initiatives taking place in Cloverdale, in-cluding the Surrey Her-itage Society’s efforts to open a transportation heritage centre featur-ing vintage B.C. freight vehicles – each as lovingly restored as the Interurban cars.

“We’re looking at heritage tourism. This is as huge area, world wide,” Sprung said, and it’s growing, as Baby Boomers entering

their sunset years look to indulge their sense of nostalgia and their travel bug.

The FVHRS sees its role in bringing in visitors to the heritage centre of the Fraser Val-ley, Sprung said.

“There are tremen-dous assets in Clover-dale.”

The project is in partner-ship with the City of Surrey and the Southern Railway

of B.C., with the assistance of B.C. Hydro. For more

Thursday, November 22, 2012 The Cloverdale Reporter 3

By Jennifer LangCloverdale’s Earle Fraser is the

latest member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 who has been awarded a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for significant achievements and contributions to the community.

The medal was created to com-memorate Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th anniversary of ascending to the throne.

Fraser received the honour Nov. 10 at a ceremony at South Surrey–White Rock–Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert’s constituency office.

Fraser said other members of Branch 6 have also received the Diamond Jubilee medal – Bill McLennon and Michael Cook.

Cook, treasurer of Dominion Command, is a life member of the Cloverdale Branch. Accord-

ing to Legion Magazine, Cook has been involved with the Legion for more than 50 years, serving as branch president, zone com-mander, and provincial president of the B.C./Yukon Command. He has also served 17 consecutive years on the Dominion’s Execu-tive Council. He’s also past-pres-ident of the Cloverdale Board of Trade, and is a retired distributor for Shell Canada Ltd.

He’s also a recipient of the

meritorious service medal, palm leaf, and the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal.

Early this year, Fraser was one of 13 British Columbians pre-sented with the Minister of Vet-erans Affairs Commendation for his work on behalf of veterans.

He’s currently serving as first vice president of Branch 6, where he has been instrumental in ef-forts to restore the graves of Sur-rey’s First World War veterans.

In 2010, about 60 graves at Surrey Centre Cemetery in Clo-verdale – including some that had never been properly marked and were nearly forgotten about – were refurbished and re-dedi-cated.

Fraser also spearheaded ef-forts to raise money to restore the Cloverdale Cenotaph, which was relocated to Surrey Museum Plaza and rededicated in 2006.

Job centre makes it officialBy Jennifer LangLocal job-seekers and

employers are invited to drop by the new Clo-verdale Employment Services Centre today to learn more about pro-grams and services.

Guest speakers at the Nov. 22 grand opening include Minister of So-cial Development Dr. Moira Stilwell, centre staff, and David Young, the CEO of Sources Community Resources Society.

The centre provides free job search assis-tance and workshops, including resumes, in-terviewing, networking, accessing the hidden job market and more, along with employment counselling, wage sub-sidy program resources, and information on self-employment.

The resource cen-tre also has computers, internet access, tele-phones, fax, copying and job postings for job hunters, who range from mature workers looking for part-time employment to aug-ment pension income to those who have grown frustrated with their job search or are looking for help putting their re-sume together.

The centre is a Work-BC Employment Servic-es centre, which is part of the Employment Pro-gram of B.C. – launched on April 1, 2012 when the provincial govern-

ment restructured how employment services were delivered in B.C., said Cheryl Scardifield, program manager of the Cloverdale Employment Services Centre.

Today’s grand open-ing runs from 1:30 - p.m. to 3 p.m. Emcee is Bill Reid of the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce.

The centre offers ser-vices for employers, too, including free job post-ing, pre-screening and access to a pool of quali-fied job candidates, wage subsidy program infor-mation to offset training and hiring costs, and job creation partnerships.

The services are free to all unemployed and underemployed people

in the community. The centre offers custom-ized services for immi-grants, youth, aboriginal people, francophones, persons with disabilities, survivors of violence and abuse, and people with multiple barriers to employment.

Located at 101 5783 176A Street, it has a staff of 11, serving residents of Cloverdale and Port Kells. Clientele range from youth just entering the workforce to highly educated and skilled people with many years invested in the labour force, she said.

Since the new pro-gram was launched, the centre has seen more than 3,000 visits and has provided direct, indi-

vidualized employment services to more than 800 community mem-bers, along with more than 400 people seeking apprenticeship supports and funding.

Cloverdale’s employ-ment participation rate is the highest in Surrey at 73.8 per cent, and the lowest unemployment rate at 3.9 per cent.

Sources, previously known as Peace Arch Community Services, is a veteran when it comes to providing employ-ment services, operating both the Employment Resource Centre in White Rock from 1998 to 2004, followed by the Employment Resource Centre in Cloverdale in 2004.

To the editor;Re: ‘What can you do about bul-

lying?’, Nov. 17, www.cloverdalere-porter.com

Children learn behavioral pat-terns from adults, those in author-itarian positions and from peers. Why do we adults expect teenag-ers not to engage in bullying, teas-ing, or threatening peers when we do the same?

Even the Prime Minister has been labeled a dominating, bul-lying and misusing his powers to get what he wants. � e suppos-edly most respected individual in Canada’s inappropriate behavior is constantly in the news.

It is human nature to strive to belong to a speci c group, want-ing acceptance and o� en this is achieved by putting down others,

going along with the majority even though inwardly not agreeing. Parental intervention is currently pushed aside by parents holding jobs and children being taught to en-tertain themselves with 21st cen-tury electronic toys creating social isolation.

Morals have shi� ed, as has the

family unit interac-tions – compare the Global Village to glob-al interaction via new telecommunications avenues. Bullying will

decrease over time, one may only hope.

Judith Harrower

Who’s the bully?Children take their cues from adults. When teens act out, we need only look to the highest of� ce in the landFrom ‘A to Z’

To the editor

To the editor;Hundreds of thousands First Na-

tions people live in Canada and they deserve better than to be shackled by the failed colonial and paternalistic policies of the Indian Act, which has helped deny them their rights, fair share in resources, and fostered mis-trust and created systemic barriers to self-determination and success. First Nations have been adamant that we need to move beyond it, yet the government has so far refused to get the ball rolling.

� e Indian Act is more than 136 years old and touches every aspect of life of First Na-tions. First Nations need the approval of the Minister to pass bylaws. It puts so much red

tape around economic development that it o� en doesn’t happen. � e Act is so intrusive on reserve residents’ lives that they cannot even write a will without the Mtinister’s approval.

Yet, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rightly said, the Act has deep roots and cannot simply be abolished. For decades governments of all stripes have allowed this prob-lem to fester.

Now all parties have a chance to take real leadership on the problem. I have a motion before the House of Commons compelling the federal government to work with First Nations on a nation-to-nation basis on a plan to replace the Indian Act with modern agree-

ments based on rights, responsibilities of the Crown, and the original Treaty relationship. With a deadline and a process, we can nally begin to resolve the many long-standing eco-nomic and social inequities that plague First Nations communities in Canada.

Yet the Conservatives, including MP Russ Hiebert, said they would vote against this progress by opposing the motion. � ey say they want to change the status quo, but once again, this is just words.

We cannot continue to put this o� . Please tell Mr. Hiebert to vote for change.

GMO foods find an audienceA recent community forum on genetically modi-

fied foods drew a crowd of more than 100 to the Fra-ser River Presentation Theatre in Langley.

Harold Steves, a Richmond city councillor, was a late addition to the speaker’s list. Steves, who was in-strumental in getting the Agricultural Land Reserve legislation passed in the 1970s, has been a champion in getting his fellow councillors to declare Richmond a GE Free Zone, according to Phil Harrison, one of the event organizers.

Steves spoke about his personal experience with the seed supply, with multinational companies like Monsanto and Dupont buying up most of the in-dependent seed companies, to the detriment of the heritage seed supply, explained Harrison, who’s planning to be part of a delegation appearing before Surrey’s agricultural advisory committee on Dec. 6.

Keynote speaker Lucy Sharratt spoke about the science of genetic engineering, and about which foods are genetically modified (currently, Canada’s foods are not labeled this way). She also talked about the latest foods to undergo a genetic trans-formation that may be introduced on our grocery shelves, including the Arctic apple in the Okanagan, and alfalfa.

The event, presented by the Council of Canadians Surrey-Langley-White Rock, Society for a GE Free BC, and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Net-work, also raised $345.

INSTALLINGDOORSIf you have installed a new door and the hinges seem like they don’t line up, one of the following solutions may be of help to you. Using a hammer, lightly tap the hinge that is higher than its partner to line them up. The pins should then slip into place. Failing that, loosen the hinge that will not go on, then put it into place and tighten the hinge back up.

Come see us, we’ll tell you all about it.

C’mon and vote, Cloverdale!By Jennifer LangThe Cloverdale H4 Eagles Minor

Hockey team is asking for your support in Best Buy’s All-Star grant contest.

And they’ve taken that request to You-Tube, where the team recently posted a catchy video to highlight the cause – all while making a broader point about the value of sport, teamwork, and dedica-tion.

The video is a plea for votes in the contest, which runs to Dec. 6. The team is competing for a $2,000-grant from the national home electronics outlet.

“I’d like to introduce you to 14 great players from the Cloverdale Eagles,” the voiceover begins, as the camera pans

past a line of young players in an arena locker room. One by one, the boys turn around to face the camera and shout their last names.

“Bath.” “Caruso.” “Gill.” “Hiatt,” and so on down the line as each player introduc-es himself.

The clip ends with the team answering the question, “Who should people vote for?” with an enthusiastic exclamation: “Eagles!”

A written description included along with the video fills in more details.

“One day, maybe, just maybe,” it reads, “one of these names will be in a start-ing lineup somewhere, playing in the big leagues.”

The blurb writer notes while the

chances of that happening are slim, it’s important to remember the boys’ names for another reason:

“Each one of these boys will grow up to be someone important… the options are unlimited.”

The description then says the players are learning some valuable life lessons, namely, that working hard pays off, that teamwork matters and that above all else, it’s important to have fun.

As of early this week, the team’s rank-ing had slipped to fourth spot out of 217 teams.

Visit http://ow.ly/eA9kP to register to vote. Voting is open to Dec. 6, and it’s possible to vote every day.

Local minor hockey team takes its appeal for support to YouTube in hopes of winning grant money

Clayton Heights girls claim district cross country banner

By Jennifer LangThe future of cross

country running is looking very promis-ing at Clayton Heights Secondary, where the girls Grade 8 team are

savoring the rewards of a great season.

The Night Riders captured their first district banner last month, beating peren-nial Surrey powerhouse Earl Marriot by just one point in the season aggregate.

It’s an historic win for the team because the field has tradition-ally been dominated by the southern Surrey secondary schools of Marriot, Semiahmoo and Elgin Park – not to mention their cross-Cloverdale rivals, Lord Tweedsmuir.

Helping to turn it around for Clayton Heights were sisters Christina and Julie Sevseks – twins who appear to be in synch when it comes to their sport of choice.

The two girls finished every race this year in a two/three plac-ing, but the twins were unable to beat Elgin runner Danielle Steele all season long. But the Sevseks were on her tail for all five of Surrey’s official meets – plus the Fraser Valley Cham-pionships, held in late October at Aldergrove’s Big Rock Lake Park.

The twin dynamos are a product of north Cloverdale’s HIllcrest

Elementary, where Christina and Julia ran off with countless first and second place cross country ribbons.

The girls – Christina in front, Julie hot on her heels – had a habit of lapping the field.

But the sisters’ finishing gap appears to be closing now that the girls have entered high school competi-tion, with a number of close finishes this year, including the last meet, where Julie was behind her sister by only a few paces.

In order to count full points on the season

aggregate, a team must have four runners at a meet, meaning number three-and four-place runners placings are critical.

The other members of the girls Grade 8 team also played a huge role in the champion-ship, including Rylee Singleterry, who finished in the top 10 in all five of her races, a steady, season-long per-formance that helped put CHS over the top.

“Without her, there would not have been a title,” said Gary McLaughlin, an in-structor at the school

who is helping publicize the team’s district cross country banner.

Also critical to the Night Riders’ this season were runners Michelle Peters and Kai-lin Shergill, late additions who were released early from the school’s volleyball team and who consistently placed in the top 15.

The Seveks, Singleter-ry and Peters all played full time on the school’s Grade 8 volleyball team and also play commu-nity soccer.

The team is coached by Steve Robertson and Sarah Daintrey.

Feds, city target the Cloverdale Library

By Jennifer LangThe Cloverdale Library is getting

new windows and skylights along with other improvements, thanks to a $103,000 maintenance upgrade that’s being cost-shared with the federal government.

The $50,000 in federal funds will help the City of Surrey replace the library’s exterior walls, windows, sky-lights and part of the building’s roof.

The city is sharing costs with the federal government, which is contrib-uting $50,000 through its Communi-ty Infrastructure Improvement Fund, or CIIF.

The fund supports, on a cost-share basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure accessible to the public.

South Surrey–White Rock–Clover-dale MP Russ Heibert made the an-nouncement Nov. 14 at the Cloverdale Library, on behalf of Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Econom-ic Diversification.

He was joined by Surrey acting mayor Mary Martin and councillor Barinder Rasode, along with library staff and Lorne Aniuk, project man-ager of operations and maintenance for the City of Surrey.

“We’re replacing the windows on

the lower level,” Aniuk said, “and re-placing the exterior siding, it’s quite tired.” The skylights in the upper floor that are beyond their life cycle, he added, explaining a portion of the roof on the back end of the building will also be replaced.

Located at 5642 176A Street, the building is a former justice building that was refurbished to house the Clo-verdale Library in 1985, meaning it’s older than it might appear. The library was formerly located in what’s pres-ently home to the Surrey Archives next door.

“The building was built in the early 1970s I would think so the windows are beyond their life cycle, and they’re single-panes, too,” Aniuk said. “We’ll get more energy efficiency by replac-ing the windows.”

The project was just one of several similar announcements in Surrey last week. For instance, the Fleetwood Li-brary is receiving $150,000 in federal funding through the same program, enabling the City of Surrey to replace boilers with high-efficiency models, along with a hot water tank and cool-ing tower.

Hiebert, who lives in Cloverdale, said his four young children are avid users of the Cloverdale Library.
