Meet 27-year-old Dozer the tortoise, Cinemazoo’s undisputed mascot. “He just loves people,” says owner and operator Gary Oliver.

Godzilla the iguana is one of the critters who lives at Cinemazoo/Urban Safari Rescue Society in South Surrey.

Where the wild things are

By Jennifer Lang It’s a quiet summer afternoon at South Surrey’s Cinemazoo and Urban Safari Rescue Society, where administrator Sharon Doucette sits quietly at her desk near the front door.

There’s a sudden crash as her waste paper basket topples over. Something is on the move.

“That’s Godzilla,” she smiles, referring to the 16-yearold mature iguana who’s heading for the front door.

The scale-covered iguana is one the dozens of nonhuman denizens of Cinemazoo and Urban Safari Rescue Society that children attending day camps are meeting and learning about this summer – as will members of the public Sunday, Aug. 12 when the society hosts a 25th anniversary celebration and open house.

The society rescues and rehabilitates wild and exotic animals. Most are donations or rescues. Where possible, new homes are found, or they’re returned to the wild.

Godzilla is a relatively new arrival. He was rescued about two months ago. He was suffering from an abscess on his leg the size of a baseball. It’s almost healed.

Stepping inside, the first thing you notice is the heat – it’s kept at about 78 to 80 degrees inside the refuge – and the humidity. You can also hear crickets and birds chirping, along with the flutter of wings and burble of aquarium tanks.

About 50 to 60 different species make their home here, including scorpions, snakes, cockroaches, spiders, birds, fish and turtles, lots of turtles.

“We are at capacity for turtles,” says owner and operator Gary Oliver. “We won’t take any more.”

No kidding – there are turtles everywhere, in tanks and enclosures. Dozens of large turtles lounge in a large indoor pond that’s filled with more goldfish.

A collection of bunny hutches housing rescued rabbits and guinea pigs is nearby.

“Dozer”, a 27-year-old tortoise, is the society’s undisputed mascot. Left to his own devices, he makes quick progress, steadily.

“He just loves people.”

Volunteers lather his shell with moisturizer each week to keep it supple.

Most of the inhabitants are rescues and donations from owners who can no longer keep their exotic pets.

“Just yesterday, a lady brought in five goldfish and a turtle,” Oliver says. The goldfish are huge.

It’s the sort of place where the human denizens eat their lunch just inches from a tank filled with a school of piranhas, the carnivorous, sharp-toothed fish known for feeding frenzies.

It’s also home to dozens of spiders, local and exotic. The Indian ornament tarantula is fed baby mice.

The salmon bellied tarantula eats birds. Oliver asks if I want to take him out of the tank.

“He won’t jump,” he assures me.

Then there’s “Fluffy”, a 24-year-old Mexican Red Knee Tarantula.

Oliver, a fedora-clad man with a neatly-trimmed white beard and round eyeglasses, got his start in 1988, working at an animal agency, rescuing animals in distress.

Since then, it’s been his mission to educate people about exotic animals – he urges people not to keep them as pets – as well as work for conservation of species and natural habitat.

“It’s a really driving force,” he says, explaining he believes the world has reached a critical stage in terms of conservation and environmental issues.

“We’re on a downward trend,” he says. “We’re losing all the animals’ habitat.”

Oliver wants to educate people, and make them aware of what’s happening – and who’s actually doing something positive about it.

He doesn’t want children, especially, to feel helpless. Rather, he’d like to provide options for them to channel their efforts into creating positive change.

He believes giving the public the opportunity to view endangered and exotic creatures in person is critical in order to build support for conservation efforts.

“You can show people videos and photographs till you’re blue in the face, but there’s no real respect or appreciation until you see for yourself.”

He likens it to seeing the Rocky mountains for the first time. Photographs just don’t quite do them justice.

He says his goal is to open a state-of-the-art education centre for the Fraser Valley. He envisions high tech interactive displays that will appeal to kids and adults.

Meanwhile, there are wonders in miniature to admire, such as the Spanish Ribbed Newt. When attacked, it pushes out its ribs until they pierce its body, exposing a row of bones that acts like rows of poisonous barbs.

The public is welcome to browse the zoo’s library, where there are 3,000 reference books, some of them very rare.

There are daily trips to schools and it hosts four to eight birthdays each weekend. “It’s the only way we can afford to feed these animals.”

The centre offers programs for children and young adults, such as the Nature Club and the Junior Zoo Keeper course for kids aged 13 to 17.

It’s the first year the society has offered summer day camps for kids out of its facility at 1395 176 Street.

“Animals have given me so many stories and adventures,” he says, looking around proudly.

The centre is located at 1395 176 Street. It’s open for tours Monday to Friday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

By Richard Dal Monte I blame Mario.

It is his fault, the alarm that wakes me much too early on Saturday mornings.

His fault, the (ahem) snug Lycra shorts I wear, the colourful jerseys I pull over my head.

His fault, the countless hours and kilometres I spend on two skinny wheels.

I also blame Rossi.

Let me explain: Preparing to move a few years ago, my friend Mario Bartel, a photographer and reporter at the NewsLeader papers in Burnaby and New Westminster — and a hardcore cyclist — needed to get rid of some of his stuff. So he did what anyone would (not) do: He created a website and emailed the link to friends and acquaintances, who could then shop online for used Ikea furniture and other household items.

Or, in my case, a blue, steel-framed Kona mountain bike that had carried its owner up and down trails for LESLIE MCKELLAR FILE PHOTO years but had been replaced with a newer model. With A driver/trainer at Fraser Downs takes a horse out for a warm-up.

When I visited Mario to pick up my purchase, he (*for more information, visit HarnessBC.ca and FraserDowns.com) mentioned he was also selling his old road bike, which he’d been using on his training machine and which he Dolomite Mountains. Word came to his family’s home that he was to would throw in for an extra $50.

And, I keep pedalling.

For that, I blame Mario.

It reminded me of the time, more than two decades earlier, when I heard someone talk about riding to Whistler and I had thought, *Richard Dal Monte is editor of The Tri-City News.

“Wouldn’t that be cool?,” never thinking I would do it (I’ve done it). newsroom@tricitynews.com And, it said one thing I immediately knew to be true: This is going to become an expensive habit.

Still, cheapskate though I am, I was sold.

And, thus began the education of a roadie, another MAMIL (middle-aged man in Lycra) among the hundreds you see on local roads any given weekend.

Bringing the Cascade Cup back to Surrey MacKenzie Rolland and her squad won the annual lacrosse tournament in Snohomish, Washington

By Kolby Solinsky No coach. No expectations.

Just a love for lacrosse. That’s how MacKenzie Rolland does it.

Rolland and her squad – which she cobbled together with her longtime friends and teammates – won the Cascade Cup in Snohomish, Wash. on July 29. They pulled their team together just five days before the tournament, and were off to the States to compete against other high school girls.

They didn’t have a coach, and they would be playing some of the best teams in the United States. They just want-

ed to have fun, and they ended Rolland and her Cascade up with a trophy.

Cup team have known each “Everyone got equal play- other and played together for ing time, and if we needed to a long time. She said it was rework on something, we freshing to play in a tourwould talk about it nament where they as a team,� Rolland could be themselves said.

The team spent its off-time at dinner and the hotel swimming pool. “We didn’t really expect anything going into the tournament, so coming out of it with a trophy was amazing.�

In six games, Rolland scored 10 goals and added 14 assists.

Her team won three straight playoff games to win the Cup. “It was really nice to hold up the cup, kind of felt like we won the Stanley Cup or something,� she said of the celebration. “That was definitely really fun, when we were all running in and jumping on our goalie.�

Surrey and Burnaby are one step closer to jumping ship for showtime.

Today, the NCAA’s Division II President’s Council will vote on whether or not to include Simon Fraser University as a full-time member.

The NCAA modified their acceptance policies last week, effectively allowing SFU to become a full-time member in its athletic competitions and divisions.

The school and its teams – the Clan – joined the NCAA as its first non-U.S. member in 2009, and was then introduced as a Provisional Division II Institution in September, 2011, after it completed a two-year membership candidacy.

If SFU passes today’s vote, the school will be eligible to play in NCAA championships.

URSULA MAXWELL-LEWIS PHOTOS

Clockwise: Pioneer women are showcased in a rich and colourful interpretive display in the heart of historic Nevada; a sign lets you know you’re on the Pony Express; Alice makes Austin’s treasures into her own little wonderland.

All aboard the Pony EXPRESS

By Ursula Maxwell-Lewis Nevada: I’m on the road again – this time discovering that this state is not all about casinos and mining.

Think Top Gun, Pony Express, petroglyphs, hiking, biking... and Alice (“in Wonderland”) at the end of The Loneliest Road in America (US Highway 50).

Thank goodness for the rumble strips keeping drivers alert on US 50. This hot-enough-to-fry-an-eggon-the-road desert highway slicing through the heart of Nevada actually crosses the country from Sacramento, California to Ocean City, Maryland. Like the Pony Express riders, I’m riding it (true confession: not on horseback) out of Carson City.

With the occasional stop throughout the morning, I’m reminded that mountains (such as the Sierra Nevada) plus prairie, pastoral land, and desert, decorate this feisty frontier state.

A lone launderette on a hillside outside Austin marks where we leave “Lonely.” Why the launderette? Perhaps for truckers who make the highway less lonely.

Ducking out of the blazing sun into a cool gloomy tavern which is clearly a local hangout, I discovered three coffee-drinking gals shooting the breeze and clearly not open for business. They tell me the owner is off in Reno, they’re keeping the doors open and all were born in Austin.

“I left, went to Vegas, didn’t like it and came home,” one tells me. The other two have never left.

“Everyone knows each other here,” they explain.

“It feels like you’re in your own little world.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

your safety is oour priority

Over in the Turquoise and Silver Shop are plenty of good deals, local jewelry worth the drive... and Alice (in Wonderland, she says). Alice is worth the drive, too. She has nothing but time, so if you’re in a rush, keep on truckin’.

“I have lots in my head,” she informs me matterof-factly. “I need to get it out.”

After a quick look at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church (currently being restored as a cultural center for Central Nevada), and the International Hotel (reputed to be Nevada’s oldest), I head for nearby Grimes Point.

Over 8,000 years ago, Native Americans left their marks at Grimes Point in the form of petroglyphs, or rock art. The self-guided interpretive trail here makes its own rather haunting impact. Call it imagination, Karma, or soul medicine, but I left with a hint of having connected with the spirits.

I returned to the Pony Express route, which made an indelible mark in history during only 18 months.

Beginning on April 3, 1860 and ending in October 1861, riders raced in stages over mountains, deserts and plains crossing over 1,800 miles of wilderness from Sacramento, California to St. Joseph, Missouri. They covered the territory in 10 days – half the time of the stagecoach.

Throughout North American history, I am always conscious of courage, but particularly of pioneering women. I recommend visiting the California Trail Centre while in the area. It’s new, it’s free, and it’s worth the time, if history intrigues you. *Ursula Maxwell-Lewis is a member of the Society of American Travel Writers. Travel is in her DNA.
