Cloverdale Reporter, March 23, 2016

DALE MATTHEWS PHOTOA rugby team exchange between St. Joseph’s of Cornwall, Ontario, and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary took time out of a busy schedule for a community service project: scrubbing down a few military planes and helicopters at the Canadian Museum of Flight at the Langley Airport.

Team voluntourismWith memories of seeing the Pacifi c ocean for the fi rst 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.

Th ey spent the day cleaning military jets and helicopters as part of a volunteer project for the ex-change teams.

It was an action-packed fi ve-night trip (May 2-6) that started with a 12-hour fl ight delay, meaning the girls from Ontario played their fi rst games of the season with just three hours of sleep.

Th roughout 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.

Th e exchange was made possible through the YMCA.– Cloverdale Reporter

By Kevin DiakiwShots rang out again this week, the

11th confi rmed shooting in a city recoiling from the gun violence this year.

On Sunday, March 20, at 6:50 a.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call of shots fi red in the 11000-block of 132 Street. On arrival, police found shell casings at the scene, and evidence showed bullets fi red into a home.

No one was hurt, and Mounties say the occupants of the home are known to police.

It comes two days aft er a shooting in Newton at 144 Street and 92 Avenue.

Shell casings were also found at that scene and police were alerted that a man had arrived at Surrey Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound.

Th e victim is a 23-year-old from Surrey who is known to police.

Police say that investi-gation is in the early stag-es, but they believe it was a targeted shooting.

Investigators are still trying to determine whether the shooting is related to previous incidents of gun violence in the Newton area.

Sunday’s incident is the 11th shooting this year – or almost one a week as of March 20.

Th e number may be more if a homicide in Newton is determined to be related to a shooting.

Surrey is now outpacing a year of violence in 2015, when there were 47 shootings in the embattled Newton and Whalley area as two rival drug gangs initiated a turf war.

Th at amounted to a shooting

almost every week.Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty

Schumann was unable to confi rm the number of shootings, but said any shooting is a concern to police.

Th e public need not be concerned about their own safety, he said, but noted it pays to be vigilant.

“In my experience, people who are not involved in a life of crime, are not likely going to become victims of crime,” Schumann said. “Th at said, when you have criminals who are violent and seem to have no regard

for anyone’s safety, the public should be con-cerned.”

He said police are using all resources avail-able to put an end to the shootings.

“People should know we’re working around the clock to solve these types of crimes,” Schumann said.

Police analysts are working to determine

whether there is another outbreak of violence similar to last year.

So far, police have made no connection between the shootings this year and those that happened in 2015.

“Not to say that the connections aren’t there,” Schumann said. “But we haven’t seen any yet.”

Anyone with further informa-tion about the March 18 incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or submit a tip at solvecrime.ca

Surrey’s tree loss climbsBy Kevin DiakiwTree cutting shot up in Surrey last

year as the city experienced another billion-dollar building boom in 2015.

Land cleared primarily for homes resulted in a 28-per-cent jump in the number of trees cut down.

Figures provided by the city at the request of Black Press indicate 8,560 bylaw-sized trees (30 centimetres in diameter at breast height) were cut down in 2015. It’s an increase of 1,848 large tree cuts recorded in 2014.

It also exceeds the average annual cut of bylaw-sized trees over the last 12 years, which comes in at 7,850.

Tree cutting became a contentious issue in Surrey between 2000 and 2004, when the city was issuing per-mits to cut down 9,100 trees per year.

Former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts, then a councillor, referred to several areas of the city as a “moon-scape” because of the scope of the tree loss.

It went on to become an issue in the municipal mayoralty race in 2005, which Watts won. She then enacted the Tree Protection Bylaw in 2006, but it failed to slow the speed of cuts.

In fact, the number of trees felled annually continued at a greater rate, with 33,300 bylaw-protected trees coming down in three years (2006-2008) – or 11,100 annually (22 per cent higher than in years prior to the bylaw).

To mitigate the loss, the bylaw requires a two-to-one replacement of trees coming down, or the person cutting has to provide cash in lieu of replacement.

Th e city consistently falls short of the two-to-one ratio and last year, brought in $1.46 million cash in lieu for the tree fund.

Th at money is collected to plant trees elsewhere in the city.

Th e number of trees razed or damaged without permission dropped last year af-ter a signifi cant two-year jump in bylaw scoffl aws.

Since 2009, illegal cutting has ranged between 30 and 140 per year, with 2014 being the high-water mark for infrac-tions.

While last year wasn’t the worst year for tree cuts, some residents are still

outraged by the ongoing loss of signifi -cant trees.

Raymond Griffi th, 72, was upset when he saw a dozen large trees razed at the end of his street on Glen Avon Drive, near the south end of the Port Mann Bridge.

“I was quite shocked, really. It’s like somebody went in there and just dese-crated the bloody place,” said Griffi th, who has lived in his North Surrey home for 42 years.

“It’s a beautiful green belt and these are huge cedar trees – they’re about two-and-a-half feet across.”

City of Surrey engineering staff said the trees were removed as part of a drainage project for the East Bon Accord trunk sewer diversion. Nearby residents, staff said, were informed of the coming work.

Still, Griffi th was taken aback at the size of the cut.

“Was it really necessary to remove all those big beautiful cedar trees?” Griffi th said. “I have to get a permit to take a twig off my tree almost. It seems like there’s two rules.”

He argued there is ample alternative space where the city could have used

that wouldn’t have disrupted trees.A study commissioned by the city

three years ago indicates Surrey will need to pay more attention to its trees if it wants to attain its goal of being a “green” city.

Th e 2013 report showed Surrey is losing its tree canopy (the amount of property with tree cover). A canopy of 40 per cent is considered to be one aspect of being an environmentally friendly city.

Surrey fell short of that number and continues to head in the wrong direction.

In 2001, the report showed 33 per cent of Surrey was covered by tree canopy. By 2009, that fi gure had dropped to 30 per cent and four years later, it had shrunk to 27.17 per cent – a decline in tree canopy of 17.66 per cent over those 13 years.

Surrey is aiming to have a 40-per-cent tree canopy by 2058, but that would require some signifi cant changes in order to turn current trends around. (See accompanying story, at right).

Which trees are covered by Surrey’s bylaw?

Permits aren’t required for smaller trees.

Th e trees the city issued permits to cut down last year were at least 30 centime-tres in diameter at breast height. Or they were one of a number of protected spe-cies, such as arbutus, Garry oak, Pacifi c dogwood, Pacifi c yew, coast redwood, dawn redwood, giant redwood, maiden-chair tree or monkey puzzle tree.

Trees such as cottonwood or alder are oft en referred to by council and staff as “scrub” trees. Th ey either don’t have a long life cycle or don’t survive develop-ment well.

However, if they are 30 cms diame-ter at breast height, they require a city permit.

City-initiated cuts don’t require permits and therefore are not part of the count.

Amost 2,000 more large trees fell to the axe in the city in 2015 over previous year

Shade tree plan launched

Surrey 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 com-mittees, 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 for-ests 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 en-sure 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 consid-ered to be an indicator of the ecological well-be-ing 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 city-wide tree canopy has dropped to 27 per cent two years ago from 33 per cent in 2001. An ideal city-wide coverage would be 40 per cent for an envi-ronmentally 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 com-prise 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 ad-justments can be made to enhance the city’s can-opy cover on public lands.

The 2015/2016 Shade Tree Management Plan is expected before city council sometime in April.

Surrey has long been faced with choos-ing 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.

Th is isn’t surprising given Surrey’s demo-graphics: 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. Th e 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-per-cent 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.

Th e 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 Griffi th 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 won-dered.

It’s a valid question. While trees such as cottonwood or alder – oft en 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 Van-couver need more housing? Yes. Can offi -cials make environmentally smart decisions that better protect and/or replace existing trees? Th ey must. It’s the only way to ensure all those new homes are worth living in.

Organizer moving ahead with gun show‘There is no plan B’ says man behind controversial Cloverdale event

By Nick GreenizanOrganizers of Cloverdale’s

2016 B.C. Rod and Gun Show are moving forward as though the event will go ahead next month, despite not yet having a permit from the City of Surrey.

Show organizer Steve Bednash told Black Press Monday that he has complied with all the city’s requests – and eliminated aspects of the event that were of concern to council members – since council referred a tempo-rary-use permit application back to staff , rather than approve it, earlier this month.

Th e permit necessary for the show – scheduled for April 15-17 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds aft er its premier engagement last year – cannot be approved until the city’s next council meeting just four days before the show’s scheduled opening, on April 11.

City offi cials – including Mayor Linda Hepner and Coun. Dave Woods, a former district commander for the Cloverdale RCMP – had expressed concern at the March 7 council meeting with the show’s security plan, as well as with the sale of ammuni-tion and the presence of restrict-ed handguns.

Hepner also took issue with the show’s name, specifi cally the word ‘gun’ in the title.

“If it’s a sportsman show or an outdoorsman show, why don’t you call it that? Why do you call it ‘Rod and Gun?’” she told Black Press earlier this month.

Bednash confi rmed that ammunition will no longer be sold at the event, and handguns and other restricted fi rearms, including antiques, will also not be part of it.

In a news release issued late Monday aft ernoon, show organizers insisted that, with the security plan approved, “coun-cil… will be able to approve this permit knowing it will be a safe event for all Surrey residents.”

“We’ve had quite a few con-versations, and our security plan has been approved by the RCMP, and by the (City of Surrey’s fes-tival committee,” Bednash said. “We’re alive and well… every-thing is a go.”

Surrey’s manager of parks, Owen Croy, confi rmed that “se-curity requirements were met” on March 17, but reiterated that the temporary-use permit was still necessary.

Bednash said the show did lose a few vendors – specifi cally those who sell ammunition – but was nonetheless happy to have the show back on the right track with all parties involved.

“We’ve still got a ton of people signed up as vendors – most of them are just retired hunters looking to sell their old fi rearms, and some of them are quite valuable,” he said. “Th at’s always been the whole idea of the show – to give people the chance to get rid of unwanted hunting and fi shing gear.”

Bednash said he is confi dent the permit would be green-lit with no further complications, and did not have a contingency plan in place, should it be denied for any reason.

“We’ve satisfi ed everything they asked us to look at,” he said.

“Th ere is no Plan B, but it’d be pretty hard to just have a rod show.”

Organizer moving ahead with gun show‘There is no plan B’ says man behind controversial Cloverdale event

By Nick GreenizanOrganizers of Cloverdale’s

2016 B.C. Rod and Gun Show are moving forward as though the event will go ahead next month, despite not yet having a permit from the City of Surrey.

Show organizer Steve Bednash told Black Press Monday that he has complied with all the city’s requests – and eliminated aspects of the event that were of concern to council members – since council referred a tempo-rary-use permit application back to staff , rather than approve it, earlier this month.

Th e permit necessary for the show – scheduled for April 15-17 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds aft er its premier engagement last year – cannot be approved until the city’s next council meeting just four days before the show’s scheduled opening, on April 11.

City offi cials – including Mayor Linda Hepner and Coun. Dave Woods, a former district commander for the Cloverdale RCMP – had expressed concern at the March 7 council meeting with the show’s security plan, as well as with the sale of ammuni-tion and the presence of restrict-ed handguns.

Hepner also took issue with the show’s name, specifi cally the word ‘gun’ in the title.

“If it’s a sportsman show or an outdoorsman show, why don’t you call it that? Why do you call it ‘Rod and Gun?’” she told Black Press earlier this month.

Bednash confi rmed that ammunition will no longer be sold at the event, and handguns and other restricted fi rearms, including antiques, will also not be part of it.

In a news release issued late Monday aft ernoon, show organizers insisted that, with the security plan approved, “coun-cil… will be able to approve this permit knowing it will be a safe event for all Surrey residents.”

“We’ve had quite a few con-versations, and our security plan has been approved by the RCMP, and by the (City of Surrey’s fes-tival committee,” Bednash said. “We’re alive and well… every-thing is a go.”

Surrey’s manager of parks, Owen Croy, confi rmed that “se-curity requirements were met” on March 17, but reiterated that the temporary-use permit was still necessary.

Bednash said the show did lose a few vendors – specifi cally those who sell ammunition – but was nonetheless happy to have the show back on the right track with all parties involved.

“We’ve still got a ton of people signed up as vendors – most of them are just retired hunters looking to sell their old fi rearms, and some of them are quite valuable,” he said. “Th at’s always been the whole idea of the show – to give people the chance to get rid of unwanted hunting and fi shing gear.”

Bednash said he is confi dent the permit would be green-lit with no further complications, and did not have a contingency plan in place, should it be denied for any reason.

“We’ve satisfi ed everything they asked us to look at,” he said.

“Th ere is no Plan B, but it’d be pretty hard to just have a rod show.”

‘It would be pretty hard to just have a rod show.’

News in brief


Rodeo association president re-electedBy Jennifer LangMake it nine years

and counting for Shan-non Claypool, who has been re-elected presi-dent of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association’s executive committee.

Claypool, who was re-elected to the po-sition 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 fi rst vice president, Randy Miller has been appointed sec-ond vice president, and Gerry Spielmacher was chosen as treasurer.

Th e 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 volun-teer-driven event that draws tens of thousands to the Cloverdale Fair-grounds.

“2016 is an incredibly important year for this organization,” Claypool said. “We are celebrat-ing the 70th annual Cloverdale Rodeo, and everyone associ-ated 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 29-year 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 Clay-pool, Smyth, Miller, Spielmacher, and Kitos, the 2016 Cloverdale Rodeo Association board of directors elect-ed 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 associ-ation.

Th e 2016 Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair is May 20-23.

Th e association is also responsible for the day-to-day manage-ment of the eight facil-ities on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, which play host to more than 1,000 events each year, from trade shows and concerts to festi-vals, sporting events, animals shows, swap meets, fl ea markets and meetings.

Rodeo pricingTh e cost of a 2016

Cloverdale Rodeo performance will be $25 per person, with admission to the Coun-try Fair at $10 a head. Children aged 12 and under are admitted for free, with adult super-vision.

By Jennifer LangOrganizers of an upcoming

country music concert in Clover-dale say they’ve been moved to act by the pluck and determination of a young man who has refused to give up his cancer fi ght.

From the Heart of Country – Never Give Up is a fundraiser fea-turing live performances by Coun-try music star Rod Black, Jesse Allen, FM, and special guest Trevor Dennis.

Th e event is slated for Saturday, April 2 at Shannon Hall, and all proceeds will go directly to Bran-don 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.

Th e fundraising concert will in-clude a raffl e and silent auction along with the music performancesby the Southern Row Records artists.

Organizer Lori Watson says they’re looking for donations of auction items and cash contribu-tions 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 some-thing.”

What initially started as plan for

Black to put on an acoustic performance at a burger and beer event morphed into the pair starting a charity called From the Heart of Country.

“I now consider Brandon family and so does Rod, even though we have never met him,” Watson says.

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, Bran-don’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 rapid-ly-progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow.

When chemotherapy failed, Brandon was put on a drug tri-al late last year. It seemed at fi rst 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 Can-cer Centre, in Houston, TX. Th e cost isn’t covered by B.C.’s Medical Services Plan.

Th e last eight months of treat-ment have been long and diffi cult, Michelle added.

“Th rough it all, Brandon has been nothing but brave, coura-geous, 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 cov-er medical costs at www.gofundme.com/HelpBrandonBeatAML. About half of that has been reached.

Tickets to the April 2 show are are $25. Th ey’re available at eventbrite.com/e/from-the-heart-of-country-never-give-up-tickets-22548724843.

Benefi t concert planned ‘From the Heart’

Film tax breaks scrutinizedB.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 record-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 increasing 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 refund-able tax credit for one third of labour costs for movies, TV and digital media production.

Most of B.C.’s industry

is foreign productions, taking advantage of experi-enced crews, scenic locations and easy access from Hollywood.

By Nick GreenizanA record number of teams will be

stepping on the ball diamond this summer when Surrey hosts the Wom-en’s World Soft ball Championships.

Th e World Baseball Soft ball Feder-ation has announced that 31 teams – a record number – would be competing at the international event, which is set for July 15-24 at Soft ball City in the South Surrey Athletic Park.

Among the 31 entries taking part are a handful of countries who will be familiar to local soft ball fans through their past participation at the Cana-dian 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 fi rst time – Brazil, Ecuador, India, Ireland, Israel, Kenya, Pakistan, Peru, Serbia, Swit-zerland and Uganda.

“We are thrilled to announce the countries scheduled to participate,” said tournament chairman Greg Timm.

“Th is 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).Th e U.S. squad will also be among

the top contenders, having won nine total women’s world championships; they’ve fi nished with silver medals in each of the last two tournaments.

Setting a record for participants – and introducing non-traditional soft -ball 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 organiz-ers to the 2014 world championships in the Netherlands, saying at the timethey were there to “develop some re-lationships” and explain to all coun-tries, not just the traditional soft ball powers, how they can qualify for the 2016 tournament.

Th irty umpires from 18 countries were also appointed to the 2016 world championships last week.

Th e tournament will also be host-ing the Canadian Open Fastpitch Futures Gold (U18A), Futures Select (U18B), Showcase Gold (U16A), and Showcase Select (U16B) divisions at Cloverdale Athletic Park and Sunny-side Park.

Soccer for everyoneBy Boaz JosephDuring a water break,

Gurveer Singh Saggar approaches his father Sarup on the sideline fence on a Newton soc-cer pitch.

He struggles to get some words out, but his father already has the idea of what’s coming.

“I had a good time,” says Gurveer, 20, a member of the Surrey Football Club (SFC) Adapted Soccer pro-gram.

Gurveer has two younger siblings who play U12 and U13 soc-cer, but Gurveer has autism and ADHD, and has had trouble fi tting into recreational sports.

All that changed with Adapted Soccer, which is designed for children with developmental dis-abilities – complete with camaraderie and super-vision by experienced soccer coaches.

For an hour each week, they do warm-ups, drills and pick-up soccer games at Newton Athletic Park’s Turf 2.

“You can tell with his smile he is having a good time,” says his father. “When he is not having a good time, you can tell.”

Th e program is the brainchild of Rob Bura, who was looking to support his 14-year-old son Jovan, who tried his best on the club’s weak-est soccer teams.

But he still wasn’t good enough.

“He’d be sitting on the sidelines because he just wasn’t fi tting in,” Bura says.

Bura got together with fellow SFC execu-tive Bobby Samra to see what they could come

up with.“Th ere are a lot of kids

that need this program,” says Bura, adding that Jovan now considers Newton Athletic Park as his own community.

Jovan not only plays soccer, he volunteers for the club, looking at game schedules and set-ting up nets and corner fl ags.

“I feel proud of that because he belongs to a community now. He’s part of the bigger pic-ture,” says Bura.

During the week, Jo-van is proud to wear the Pegasus T-shirt at his school, Enver Creek Secondary, because that’s his club, says his dad.

Currently, about 15 kids, mostly teenagers, turn out each Monday evening to practise the game.

“We say (ages) nine to 15, but that’s not reality,” Samra says. “We haven’t turned anybody away.”

Th e group’s plan is to eventually have enough players to build sev-en-player teams whichcan then go up against each other on the fi eld.

Surrey Football Club kicks off a new, adapted soccer program

More kids needed for next session

ContributedThe Cloverdale Masters

Super League finished its 2015/16 season with the Lons-bery (Coast & Country Diner/Caterers) foursome as overall season winners.

Th e team was skipped by Bruce Lonsbery, with Jack Fin-nbogason, Bob Byrne and Kiyo Hamade.

For the pre-Christmas season, the Joe Deptuck rink (Maxi-mum Collision) came second and post-Christmas it was the Karen Lepine rink (Gary’s Auto-motive).

Th e league is for all curlers over 60 playing at a competitive level.

Th is year, curlers from Lange-ly, Peace Arch (White Rock), Delta, Coquitlam and Clover-dale participated in the 20-game schedule.

Th e organizers, Ross Ander-

son and Ernie Wah, and the players appreciate the assistance of the Canada Western Bank,

Berezan Hospitality and the 12 team sponsors.

– Earl Hansford

Lonsbery claims super league

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOOrganizers Russ Anderson and Ernie Wah contemplate a shot.

Th e coaches are ready, says Samra.“We’ve budgeted for uniforms and fi eld times and

referees. We’ve got everything ready to go, we just don’t have (enough) kids.”

Th e club has BC Soccer’s permission to organize games by skill level rather than age.

“We want those kids to come out and play soc-cer,” says Samra.

Th e fi rst and second eight-week sessions ran last year, and the third one ended March 7.

Running roughly parallel with the school calen-dar, the next session will begin aft er spring break.

Th e SFC’s Adapted Soccer program runs on Mondays from 5-6 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park.

Th e cost is $40. For more information or to regis-ter or volunteer, call the SFC at 604-356-2414.
