A lucky charmer

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSMelissa Anderson takes a picture of her daughter Ireland, 3, at the Surrey Museum’s Celtic Fest March 12. The event transformed the lobby into a Céilí, a traditional celebra-tion of music and dance, with performers, plus crafts, activities and more.

Preparations are in high gear for a memorable celebration

By Jennifer LangFriday night fi reworks, a headlining

country music concert, and a better than ever rodeo experience are a few of the treats in store at one of Cloverdale’s longest-standing traditions, celebrating a mile-stone this year.

Th e Cloverdale Rodeo turns 70 this year. (Its counterpart, the country fair, will be 128.

Set for May 20-23 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, the two events combine thrilling competition with live enter-tainment, food, and fun for all ages.

Th e marquee attraction of the four-day event is the Cloverdale Invita-tional Rodeo, featuring the world’s best cowboys and cowgirls competing for cash prizes, along with the popular mutton-bustin’ competition for kids and more.

Th e rodeo performances – which start Friday, and continue through the weekend – are always popular.

Th e Stetson Bowl venue has been renovated and reconfi gured for the signature event, thanks to a six-fi gure

investment, says Shannon Claypool, president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association.

Th e bucking chutes have been moved to face the grand-stand, so “every seat will have a great view,” he said Mon-day. “It will make our patrons feel more connected to the action.”

With just 60 days to the start of the 2016 rodeo, preparations for Cloverdale’s biggest party of the year are in high gear.

Th e fi reworks display, returning aft er a decade or

so, “will be just high enough that you’ll have to be on the grounds to see them,” winks Claypool. “We want our patrons to hang around all evening.”

Chad Brownlee, another hot ticket, performs at the Longhorn Saloon Sunday, May 22. Brownlee is a for-mer professional hockey player and award-winning country artist from Kelowna.

Canucks back in the day,” says Claypool, who has gotten to know Brownlee through the B.C. Country Music Association. “Chad’s just a class guy.” Admis-sion is $10. ‘Beat the line’ tickets available to 9 p.m.

Th e BCCMA hosts a meet-and-greet at their pavilion, Boots and Buckles, featuring more than 50 artists performing throughout the weekend.

Th e venue is open to all ages during the day

(free admission), and at 8 p.m. becomes and adults only dance hall.

Th e Longhorn Sa-loon is one of the most anticipated features of the rodeo, hosting live performances daily by Ettinger and Big 50, and the Ken McCoy Band.

Th e live outdoor entertainment stage will showcase rising talents all weekend long, including BC-CMA nominees Carli and Kennedy (Twin Kennedy), Robyn and Ryleigh, Appaloosa and the Chris Buck Band.

Th e Western Fine Arts Show will feature works by several dozen arts, with proceeds sup-porting the C.H.I.L.D. Foundation and the Cloverdale Youth Initiative Foundation, once again off ering three, $1,000-scholar-ships to be awarded to secondary students in their graduation year who are past or present Cloverdale Rodeo vol-unteers.

“Our non-profi t organization is giving back to our communi-ty every way we can,” Claypool says, adding

the scholarship raises the rodeo’s profi le with Surrey’s youth – and helps recruit a new gen-eration of volunteers.

At 70, the rodeo is one of the largest events of its kind, attracting tens of thousands of visitors over the May long weekend to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

It’s an achievement that’s made all the more remarkable by the fact that it’s put on by a core group of one dozen employees and about 300 volunteers, says Claypool, who has just been re-elected presi-dent of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, which oversees the rodeo and the day-to-day opera-tions of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

Th ere have been peaks and valleys over the years, from fi nancial problems to bad weather hurting attendance. Even the Canucks on a playoff winning streak, as was the case a few years ago, can wreak havoc with the best-laid plans.

But the organization has been able to get back on an even keel, fi nancially.

Claypool says a lot of the credit goes to general manager Mike MacSorely who took the helm four years ago and his staff .

“One of the nice things about our event, which starts with the Cloverdale bed races Th ursday and runs to Monday, is we are great for the local economy for hotel stays, because we are a multi-day event,” Claypool says. “We believe that we

contributed somewhere between fi ve and six million dollars to the economy every year. We’re pretty proud.”

Ensuring that lon-gevity is the weekend’s enduring appeal as a family-focused event.

“Th e country fair has everything from the kiddie rides up to live-stock displays through to how to train to be a cowboy or cowgirl at the rec centre. Th at’s our kids zone,” he said.

Returning favou-rites in 2016 include midway rides, the West Coast Lumber-jack Show, the Agri Zone, Cone Zone, and Envision Kids Zone, along with the 5th an-nual World Freestyle Round-up, an inter-national skateboard competition that draws professionals from across the globe.

Th e Rib Fest BBQ Zone is also returning, promising plenty of food options. “Th at’s been very popular. Peo-ple can get a rack of the best tasting ribs.”

Th e Express Clydes-dales – a highlight of the 2014 rodeo – are also back this year.

Th e gentle giants, prized for their rare black and white colour – won over fans in their fi rst appearance in Cloverdale performing at rodeo performances and in the parade.

Admission is $20 for rodeo performances and $10 for entry to the country fair.

Admission to both is free for kids aged 12 and under.

Wednesday, March 16, 2016 The Cloverdale Reporter 3

By Kevin DiakiwTwo Surrey heritage sites are

at risk of being lost, despite the best eff orts of the commission overseeing Surrey’s history.

At its Jan. 20 meeting, the eight-member Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission ad-dressed two properties.

Th e fi rst was by way of a request for the demolition of the Neville Curtis House at 5658 182 St. in Cloverdale. Th e commission opposed granting the permit and asked city staff to impose a 60-day protection order while the property was assessed.

Built in the 1930s, the Neville Curtis House is a one-and-a-half-storey home with jerkin-headed roofs, with a full-width porch supported by square columns. It is one of a number of high-value heritage homes built in Cloverdale during the Great Depression.

Coun. Dave Woods, the commission chair, said last week it’s a privately owned property and that there’s little the city can do to save it.

Th e developer will be re-quired to pay the city the value of the home, with the money received used to preserve other heritage properties in the city.

Th e other property before the commission in January was the Old Anniedale School, at 9744 176 St.

Anniedale was used until 1954 and is Surrey’s oldest school. Th e school district has sold the school to a church, which said it was open to working with the city on any rescue eff orts.

Woods told the commission the fi rst concern is to ensure the structural integrity of the school, which was built in 1890. Th e commission is hiring Barry McGinn Engineering and Preservation to conduct an evaluation of the property. Th e commission has determined its spending limit for that evalua-tion will be $17,000.

One possibility for rescue is to move the school to a city-owned property, perhaps in Cloverdale.

As to why the same rescue eff orts aren’t being made for the Neville Curtis House, Woods said the school is a higher priority.

“Th ey’re all high priorities. I hate to see these buildings go,” Woods said. “But the houses are really tough.”

Local heritage lostLast year, one of Surrey’s

oldest heritage buildings, the

Loyal Orange Lodge No. 1471, was torn down, despite heri-tage protection – and decades of promises that it would be properly restored. Built in 1891, the hall was one of the last surviving institutional buildings from Surrey’s pioneer past.

It was relocated to Surrey Centre Cemetery in 1993 only to languish, eventually rotting into an unwanted eyesore, home to birds and in danger of imminent collapse.

Th e heritage commission de-cided to tear down the building rather than restore it.

A glitch in the system was blamed for the loss of another Cloverdale heritage building – the Brown House at 17555 56 Ave., listed on the city’s heri-tage inventory, was torn down a year ago in January. “Due to a glitch in the system, the heri-tage status of the Brown House was not noted by staff and thus not referred to the commission for comment,” according to the comission.

Although it had been listed on the Community Heritage Registry in 1998, heritage sta-tus also didn’t save the United Church Manse on 6533 168 Street.

Th e 1905 charmer was demolished when diff erent addresses for each building on the site meant the commission wasn’t aware that the demoli-tion permits had been issued.

Ready, set, reserve a spotSpring is just around the corner, and for

outdoor enthusiasts who are itching to ex-plore the province this summer, it’s time to start thinking about reserving camping spots.

Discover Camping – B.C. Parks’ reserva-tion system – started accepting reservations

yesterday morning (March 15). Camping sites at our provincial parks can

be booked up to three months in advance through the website, discovercamping.ca – and its mobile site, which sees less volume, meaning it might be a surer bet.

More than 158,000 reservations were set up through discovercamping.ca last year, a jump of almost 19 per cent over 2014, according to the BC Environment Ministry. Most of those reservations – 73 per cent – originated in B.C.

Th e site displays availability, layout and amenities at 122 campgrounds, representing more than 5,800 campsites.

About half of all provincial park camping opportunities remain on a fi rst-come, fi rst-serve basis, according to a press release.

Reservations made through a call centre at 1-800-689-9025 are subject to a $5 surcharge. Th at line is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. week-days and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Reserve online 24 hours a day.

More condos, not rentalsRe: “Locals voice concern over Th e Bristol,”

March 2I think we need something along the lines

of Morgan Crossing in South Surrey to up the look of Cloverdale. Defi nitely not more rentals. We already have co-op housing, city provided low income housing, lots of rent-als via suites and apartments. More sellable aff ordable condos would be better.

crimes because they are tired of nothing being done...

Kyle LoweCloverdaleReporter.com

Premiums can backfi reRe: “Time to take MSP off life support,”

(B.C. Views, March 2).I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on MSP

premiums and it brought back to mind some research I conducted when I was at Decima Research in the late ‘80s.

As is true today, there was concern among some that people were over-using medical care, in part because they did not understand its cost. We tested views about costs of the system and looked in partic-ular at diff erences between provinces that charged premiums and those that did not.

Th e results were surprising. We found that a signifi cant minority of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed that their premiums covered the entire cost of the health system. Far from making them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respon-dents thought “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenev-er I want.”

As is the case today, proponents of premi-ums argued that it would make people more sensitive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned out to be true.

Th e only serious attempt to let people know about medical costs directly was Alberta’s disastrous (and never repeated) experiment in informing households about all the medical services consumed by the household in the previous year.

Putting pension over needRe: “Open design for new Clayton high

school,” Feb. 24Meanwhile at Earl Marriott Secondary, the

10-year extreme overcrowding continues. A two-bell system has been in place due to this overcrowding. South Surrey/White Rock’s reward for always voting in the BC Liberals is to be taken for granted.

MLA Gordie Hogg would rather watch his taxpayer funded pension grow than ad-dress this critical need. Gordie has known for over a decade the need for a new high school in his constituency.

Study revives interest in U.S. border train stop

By Alex BrowneTh e idea of a passenger rail stop in White Rock

may have ground to a halt years ago – but the con-cept is still alive and kicking just across the border for the City of Blaine, Wash.

Blaine, which began pursuing the idea in earnest again last year, is receiving help from economics students at Western Washington University to conduct a feasibility study for an Amtrak stop on the BNSF line through the city.

Participants, led by student Shannon Peterson, have compiled a short online survey to help deter-

mine potential rider-ship – both North and South of the border – that would be attracted by a passenger stop in Blaine.

And Canadians are being encouraged to participate by logging onto the survey at this link, or on the city web-site, www.cityofb laine.com/849/A-New-Train-Station-in-Blaine).

Th e sooner potential riders can respond the better, longtime train-stop booster, Bill Becht, owner of Blaine’s Horse-shoe Coins & Antiques told Black Press.

Peterson and other students who put together the survey, together with Professor Th omas Roehl, chair of the Department of International Business at WWU, were invited to speak at a major con-ference of the National Association of Railroad Passengers in Tukwila, Wash.

Preliminary information from the study was to be submitted to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) at the meeting, Becht said.

“All the department heads for passenger rail in the northwest will be in attendance,” he added.

Becht said the feasibility study itself “will go a long way in helping our city get this most import-ant passenger rail stop.

“It’s a really good sign – this is great news.”Supporters of the project have theorized there

could be more than a million riders in Canada’s Fraser Valley alone, seeing the ability for this mar-ket to easily access the Amtrak system as a huge potential boost for the Blaine economy.

“We consider the Lower Mainland are south of the river as a primary market for a Blaine station,” said Lloyd Flem, executive director of the rail ad-vocacy non-profi t All Aboard Washington.

He said the WWU study is very welcome “and will defi nitely provide some hard information.

“WSDOT can be very cautious about making any changes or doing anything new. We’re pushing them on this. Th ey’re hesitant to add new stations – it’s a matter of proving a Blaine station can pay its own way.”

‘Huge’ stakes if court upholds asbestos ruling

By Jeff NagelWorkSafeBC is ap-

pealing a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that has thrown into question the workplace regu-lator’s enforcement powers against asbestos removal contractors that expose employees to danger.

Th e court last month rejected WorkSafe’s request for a contempt of court fi nding against Seattle Environmental Consulting Ltd. and its owners, Mike and Shawn Singh, who had received more than 230 workplace violation orders and more than $200,000 in fi nes dating back to 2007.

Past asbestos han-dling violations were issued at homes across Metro Vancouver, including Surrey.

Justice George Macintosh dismissed the application, citing concern that a previous WorkSafe order was too broad and the under-lying safety regulations too complex and “volu-minous.”

Observers say the stakes are high if the appeal fails and leaves bad actors in the free

to ignore the laws designed to protect workers.

“If this ruling were allowed to stand then the protection of work-ers from the number one killer in British Co-lumbia would be null and void,” SFU health sciences professor Tim Takaro.

“Th e judge is saying that the regulations aren’t clear, he can’t follow them and you

don’t have to. So that’s huge.”

Th e decision was described as “ludi-crous” by BC Insulators Union spokesman Lee Loft us, who himself suff ers from workplace asbestos exposure.

“Th is is the 20th cen-tury, this is no longer the 18th century,” said Loft us. “People have lost their lives. Th ose regulations and those

MoneyMattersEvery year, thousands of Canadians are victims of fraud and iden-tity theft and with National Fraud Prevention Month in full swing, Kay Gandham, branch manager of the Cloverdale branch of Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union, is sharing the importance of recognizing fraud, reporting it and stopping it. Here are a few simple tips to help guard against fraud.Protect your PIN We hear about it all the time, but it’s important to always protect your PIN. This applies not only to when you’re using your debit or credit card, or logging in to online accounts, but also to how you store your PIN. Never write your PIN down or share it with anyone. Phishing for information Beware of phishing emails, usually sent with an urgent request or link asking for personal or financial information. Legitimate businesses or financial institutions will never ask for personal information this way. If you accidentally click on a link that may

have compromised your computer, contact your service provider right away. You should also protect your computer by activating your firewall, securing your Wi-Fi network and having sufficient anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-spyware protection.Mobile alerts for when you’re on the go Signing up for mobile alerts for online banking can help you stay on top of your account activity. If transactions or activities are occurring on your account like password changes or new bill payees being added, notifications will alert you to potential fraud immediately.What you throw away can hurt you One of the easiest ways that identity thieves can access your personal information is through the trash, particularly things like old credit card receipts, financial statements or even pre-approved credit card applications. It’s important to shred everything and to completely destroy data before disposing of your old computers, hard drives or mobile devices.

laws are literally written in blood. We don’t make this stuff up.”

He said Seattle Environmental’s owners were “ar-rogant as hell” aft er the ruling, telling reporters they don’t expose workers to asbestos.

“Nobody who has 237 orders written against them is doing anything right.”

If the lower court ruling isn’t overturned, Loft us

said, senior governments will be forced to amend their legislation.

Unions and industry groups have already urged the province to impose mandatory licensing for all asbestos removal and testing fi rms to allow faster action against violators.

Tough enforcement does work when WorkSafe-BC brings its full weight to bear, Loft us said.

In 2012, notorious Surrey-area asbestos removal contractor Arthur Moore was sentenced to 60 days in jail for contempt of court aft er repeated asbestos safety violations across the Lower Mainland.

His workers included teenage girls and recov-ering addicts wearing improper protective gear as they removed asbestos-laden material from homes that had been declared asbestos-free through forged tests.

Loft us said Moore’s jail term “straightened him out.”

Rounding the basesBy Jennifer LangAs a minor baseball coach and father, Cloverdale’s

Jeff Sandes understands the diff erence being active in team sports makes in a kid’s life.

Th ere’s the confi dence that comes with learning and mastering new skills, and feeling like you’re part of the team and making new friends.

Th is spring, Clover-dale will be home to a new baseball league that will provide opportuni-ty for even more kids to play ball.

Challenger Baseball is a division of Baseball B.C. that provides chil-dren (ages fi ve to 18) with physical and cog-nitive disabilities to en-joy the thrill of playing baseball, and being part of a team.

“We’re trying it out this year for the fi rst time,” says Sandes, who is recruiting vol-unteers and players for two teams that will play Sunday aft ernoons from April to June at Clover-dale Ball Park (17383 61A Ave.), using the premier Mosquito dia-mond.

Th e program is free: Th ere are no registration costs, deposits – or, he notes happily, volunteer shift s for parents.

Uniforms are provided, and the kids get to keep them at the end of the season.

Every player gets a designated buddy for each game, meaning parents can step back and simply en-joy watching their child play.

“Parents don’t have to be out there,” Sandes says. “A big, important feature of the program is so the par-ents don’t have to do any work.”

Buddies will assist the players in a variety of ways – from pushing players around the bases, or showing them how to swing the bat to fi elding balls hit in their direction.

Emphasis is on fun: nobody will be keeping score.

“No outs, everyone hits each inning, and the last batter clears the bases,” says Sandes.

Opening ceremonies are April 9, and Sandes is hoping to organize additional – free – activities and outings that aren’t related to baseball to help the teams build and bond.

In 2010, Little League B.C. and the B.C. Minor Baseball Association partnered to promote the program under Baseball B.C., and there are already Challenger programs in such nearby communities as Langley and Whalley.

Sandes, who is partici-pating as a parent, a coach, and as coordinator of the new Challenger Clover-dale division, jumped at the chance to get the pro-gram off the ground here.

He’s particularly excit-ed about the volunteering possibilities the division will open up for local youths and individuals.

“We’re looking for stu-dents and other people who want to put their heart into it.”

He says parents and buddies – especially those who have never before worked with children

with cognitive or physical disabilities – will get even more out of the program than the players.

Th ere will be two Cloverdale teams to start with, although Sandes concedes, “Th e potential is huge,” he says. “Hopefully, we’ll be bursting at the seams.”

With opening day weeks away, Sandes expects the new division will encounter some speed bumps.

“For example, our dugouts aren’t big enough to house wheelchairs. In the future, once we know the best diamond to use, we can address a confi guration, additional pathways, or whatever else we need to deal with.”

Th e program is intended to be self-sustaining, so organizers will be recruiting sponsors, too.

To register, volunteer, donate, or help run the pro-gram, email jeff [email protected] or call 778-708-0196.

CorrectionTh e last name of

India, the Lord Tweeds-muir student who was named MVP at the recent high school bas-ketball championships, is Aikins.

She and her team-mates earned accolades at the recent provincial high school basketball championships.

Th e Panthers Grade 8 girls won the gold medal two weekends ago, and claimed the Fraser Valley regional championship banner,

too, a thrilling fi rst for a Grade 8 team from Lord Tweedsmuir.


Norwegian goldCloverdale curler

Tyler Tardi struck gold at the Youth Olympic

Winter Games in Lilleham-mer, Nor-way, and very nearly claimed a

second medal. In the mixed curling

event, Tardi’s rink – which included Mary Fay, Karlee Burgess and Sterling Middleton – cruised past the rest of

the fi eld, going unde-feated in round-robin play, before winning both quarter-fi nal and semifi nal games.

In the championship contest, Tardi’s Canadi-an squad defeated the U.S. 10-4.

“Representing Canada at the Youth Olympics, it’s an unbe-lievable feeling. I don’t know what to say about it, it’s just an incredible feeling,” Tardi said.

Later during the Olympic tournament, Tardi and teammate Honoka Sasaki of Japan nearly scooped a bronze medal in the mixed doubles tourna-ment.

Tardi and Sasaka had a strong run through the tournament, but fell short in the bronze-medal game, losing 10-1 to Ruiyi Zhaou (China) and Andreas Haartstad (Norway) to fi nish fourth overall.

“We had a lot of fun out there and are pretty happy with how we did,” he said.

“We just had the wrong side of the inch a couple of times, ticking guards a few times, and they were making a ton of shots. Th ey really deserved (the win).”

Sports in brief

Hundreds compete in SurreyBy Rick KupchukA half dozen mem-

bers of the host club won all around gold medals at the Surrey Classic Men’s Invita-tional and Carol Lenz Memorial Invitational, two meets hosted by the Surrey Gymnastic Society (SGS).

More than 625 young gymnasts participated

in the three-day event at the Guildford Recre-ation Centre, sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Surrey.

Treyson Cerrato and Brady Reeleder were the two gymnasts to place fi rst all around in the 29th annual Classic Men’s competition.

Cerrato, 14, of South Surrey was in the

Provincial 5 category and won gold medals on vault and high bar, earned silver medals on fl oor and pommel horse, won bronze on parallel bars and placed fourth in rings.

Gold, silver for South Surrey’s Viktoria DuschesneFrom previous page

Ex-provincial staff er charged in email aff airA former ministerial assistant

to Transportation Minister Todd Stone has been charged with two off ences under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for his role in a com-plaint about deleted government emails.

A special prosecutor approved two charges against George Gretes for “willfully making false statements to mislead, or attempt to mislead” the Infor-mation and Privacy Commis-sioner.

Commissioner Elizabeth Denham referred the case to police aft er Gretes testifi ed in her investigation that he didn’t delete a series of emails from a sub-ordinate’s computer during a search in re-sponse to a freedom of information request.

Gretes resigned in October 2015 when Denham released her report on the 2014 in-

cident, which found that Gretes had used another employee’s computer to “triple delete” a se-ries of emails.

Stone has maintained that the deleted emails were not the offi cial records dealing with community meetings about improving travel options along Highway 16 in northern B.C., which was the subject of the request. Th e ministry has since released hundreds of pages of records about the project.

Th e incident prompted Pre-mier Christy Clark to order all

political staff in the government to keep all emails as the procedure for handling elec-tronic communications is updated.

Former privacy commissioner David Lou-kidelis reviewed the case and recommended that non-partisan public servants should de-cide what records should be kept and what

can be destroyed as duplicate or transitory messages.

Loukidelis warned that with hundreds of millions of emails sent and received each year, trying to evaluate every message would cause the B.C. government to “grind to a halt.”

– Black Press

Movie tax breaks reviewB.C.’s tax credits to the movie

industry are rising rapidly as the low Canadian dollar attracts more productions to the province, and Finance Minister Mike de Jong has ordered a review.

“Th e sector is having a re-cord-breaking year and that’s all good news for the people involved,” de Jong said.

“But the way the tax credit is structured, we see the amount being paid out increas-ing exponentially. It’s set to cross the half

billion-dollar mark.”Th e review is to take place within the next

two months, including consultation with B.C. production companies. B.C. off ers a refundable tax credit for one third of labour costs for movies, TV and digital media pro-duction.

Th e current box-offi ce hit Deadpool is the latest of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series to be fi lmed in B.C. An earlier movie in the se-ries was lured to Montreal by generous tax

incentives, and Ontario extended its tax credits to cover 25 per cent of all spending on a project.

Most of B.C.’s industry is for-eign productions, taking advan-tage of experienced crews, scenic locations and easy access from

Hollywood. De Jong said in 2013 that Cana-dian provinces are “being played” by produc-ers looking to increase tax breaks by threat-ening to go elsewhere.
