The Golf Industry’s Trade Associations Could Not Care Less About The Obliteration Of Surrey’s Riverside Golf Course – 2015 10 28

Golf-Hating Surrey Government Officials

Want To Obliterate Riverside Golf Course

By Turning It Into Swampland

Surrey Government Officials

Are Anti-Golf And Business-Hating

Enviro-Lunatics !

October 28th, 2015

Vancouver Sun

City Of Surrey, Province Of British Columbia ( BC )

Selected And Adapted Excerpts

The City of Surrey is EXPROPRIATING land belonging to the Riverside Golf Course to CREATE A FRESH-WATER SWAMP [ i.e. SWAMPLAND ].

Several months ago, Riverside Golf Course was informed that the city planned to FORCIBLY EXPROPRIATE 16 acres from its nine-hole facility to extend a road network, while the rest of the land would be used as a CONSERVATION AREA.

The City of Surrey’s ULTIMATUM has given Riverside Golf Course until the end of January 2016 to shutter the facility that has been A FAMILY BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS.

The situation has outraged many residents, with close to 1,000 signing a PETITION AGAINST THE EXPROPRIATION.

The City of Surrey is offering 200,000 dollars per acre for Riverside Golf Course, amounting to a total of 3.2 million dollars.

Golf-Hating Surrey Government Officials declined to comment, saying this has become a legal matter, but Parks Manager Owen Croy said in April 2015 that the city needs the property to EXTEND ITS GREENWAYS [ i.e. SWAMPS ].

[ What ?!?! A golf course is not green enough ?!?! A golf course is no better than a swamp ?!?! ]

According to Golf-Hating Surrey Government Officials, GREENWAYS [ i.e. SWAMPS ] are described as a network of walking and cycling paths [ through SWAMPLAND ] intended to get the growing population engaged in passive recreation and viewing of wildlife [ living in SWAMPS ].

[ In other words, a GREENWAY must be ANYTHING, even SWAMPLAND, but ABSOLUTELY NOT a golf course ! ]

Moreover, according to Golf-Hating Officials, Riverside Golf Course is next to the Nikomekl River, which has a low-level diking system, while the extended road would allow for movement of traffic, emergency vehicles, and pedestrians.

Croy also acknowledged to the inquiry that the city’s goal is TO PRESERVE NATURAL CONSERVATION AREAS [ i.e. SWAMPS ].

[ In other words, SWAMPLAND is preferred at the expense of a legitimate and tax-paying golf facility that has been in operation for over 50 years ! ]

Riverside Golf Course has questioned why City of Surrey would want to OBLITERATE its business ― which OFFERS ACTIVE RECREATION as well as wildlife viewing of deer and coyotes ― in exchange FOR A SWAMP, especially since there already exists a much larger Serpentine Fen nearby, another SWAMP that is popular with bird watchers.

[ Why OBLITERATE Riverside ?!?! Because Surrey Government Officials Are Anti-Golf And Business-Hating Enviro-Lunatics ! They would prefer watching birds in a SWAMP rather than watching golfers play on a BEAUTIFUL GREEN SPACE ! ]

Surreys ATTACK against the Golf Industry comes as NO surprise !

In 2011, Surrey Government Officials IMPOSED PROHIBITION against control products used in the Urban Landscape, leading to the DESTRUCTION of businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry.

If the Golf Industry’s Trade Associations had joined the Professional Lawn Care Industry to STOP THE SURREY PROHIBITION in 2011, Riverside Golf Course would NOT be fighting for its life today.

The leaders Golf Industry’s Trade Associations prefer to operate with their HEADS UP THEIR BUTTS rather than accomplish anything that is meaningful for its memberships and for society.

THEY are the ones that ALLOWED Surrey Government Officials to become Anti-Golf Business-Hating Enviro-Lunatics !

Background Information From An Independent Perspective

OBLITERATING The Golf Industry

The Golf Industry is on a COLLISION COURSE with ANTI-GOLF REGULATIONS that will COERCE, INTIMIDATE, and TERRORIZE the owners, superintendents, and employees at GOLF FACILITIES.

The Golf Industry is on a COLLISION COURSE with GOLF-HATING Government Officials ( which includes Politicians ) who perform their jobs as Enviro-Terrorists who CONSPIRE TO OBLITERATE ALL GOLF FACILITIES.

In several jurisdictions, Government Officials are already undertaking IMPLEMENT STRICTER REGULATIONS AGAINST THE USE OF PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ON GOLF FACILITIES.

These Government Officials CONSPIRE TO DESTROY the Golf Industry just as they DESTROYED businesses operating in the Professional Lawn Care Industry.

Unfortunately, prominent trade organizations, with several in the Golf Industry, have already SUPPORTED RECKLESS PROHIBITION against so-called cosmetic pesticides, a BETRAYAL that ASSURED THE DEATH of the Professional Lawn Care Industry.

In the near future, provincial jurisdictions, like Quebec and Ontario, WILL IMPOSE NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS PROHIBITION against pest control products used by the GOLF INDUSTRY.

The governments in these provinces WILL IMPOSE TOTAL GOLF PROHIBITION against conventional pest control products.

The governments in these provinces INTEND TO OBLITERATE THE GOLF INDUSTRY.

And they will succeed in doing so with the help of GOLF-HATING Anti-Pesticide & Environmental-Terrorist Organizations like David Suzuki Foundation, Equiterre, and others.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain GOLF FACILITIES in a condition that is BEAUTIFUL AND PLAYABLE without the use of conventional pest control products.

Because of ARBITRARY AND UNNECESSARY PROHIBITION, the owners, employees, and families dependent on GOLF FACILITIES will face TERROR, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION.

GOLF-HATING Government Officials ( including Politicians ), with Anti-Pesticide & Environmental-Terrorist Organizations, CONSPIRE to OBLITERATE their businesses, their assets, their customers, their homes, their lifestyles, their job security, their families, their children, their loved-ones, and their futures.

In order to AVOID A COLLISION COURSE, the Golf Industry must immediately address several CRITICAL ISSUES …

Background Information From An Independent Perspective

Golf Industry’s Trade Associations Could Not Care Less About The Obliteration Of Riverside Golf Course !

The mission of the Golf Industry’s Trade Associations is to promote and support the golf course management profession.

There can be NO golf course management profession if facilities like Riverside Golf Course are being SYSTEMATICALLY OBLITERATED by Golf-Hating Government Officials and Environmental-Terrorist Organizations.

Rather than lending support to causes like Riverside, the Golf Industry’s Trade Associations have historically …

• CONSPIRED to IMPOSE PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape.

• BETRAYED and TORPEDOED the Professional Lawn Care Industry.

• SQUANDERED LOBBYING RESOURCES in order to SAVE TOXIC PRODUCTS like QUINTOZENE by CONCOCTING A NON-EXISTENT CRISIS.

• ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE APPEASED by Golf-Hating Anti-Pesticide Organizations, like Canadian Cancer Society.

• PAID VAST SUMS OF MONEY to known Anti-Pesticide Terrorists, like Paul Tukey, to SUBVERT and CORRUPT the Industry Trade Conventions.

• RAISED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for Golf-Hating Anti-Pesticide Organizations, like Canadian Cancer Society.

The Golf Industry’s Trade Associations are DISMAL FAILURES, and their leaders operate with their HEADS UP THEIR BUTTS. ( See list below. )

Discover What Anti-Pesticide & Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists Are Doing And Saying About Subversively Imposing Their Life-Style Choices Against Our Society.

Read … Reports, Blogs, & Videos, From Force Of Nature, NORAHG, Pesticide Truths, & Uncle Adolph ― The Whole Truth From An Independent Perspective.

Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by LUNATIC-TERRORISTS who ARBITRARILY AND RECKLESSLY IMPOSE PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape and by the Agriculture Industry, and who PERPETRATE OTHER ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.

We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide & Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERRORISM is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by LUNATIC-TERRORISTS.

A LUNATIC is a person whose actions and manner are marked by extreme recklessness.

The RECKLESS ACTS OF SUBVERSION by these LUNATIC-TERRORISTS has led to the ARBITRARY IMPOSITION of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION in several jurisdictions throughout North America.

The result was CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE !

Because of LUNATIC-TERRORISTS, provinces like Ontario now have a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, a MORE DANGEROUS OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT, and a BLACK MARKET IN PESTICIDES.

Only TRUE LUNATICS would wish to create a TRAIL OF ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES DESTROYED and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.

Because of LUNATIC-TERRORISTS, we are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products will CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.

An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from LUNATIC-TERRORISTS who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.

NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space and other industries, and the well-being of our communities.

NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to LUNATIC-TERRORISTS and their Anti Pesticide PROHIBITIONS, resulting in the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT CONCOCTED BY LUNATICS of somehow « saving » the environment.

NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON-PROFIT NON-PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.

NORAHG is dedicated to reporting PESTICIDE FREE FAILURES, as well as the work of RESPECTED & HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.

NORAHG strikes back against the MYTHS concerning the need for prohibition against pest control products.

NORAHG RESPONDS on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of THE PUBLIC THAT DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORTS those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry, the Golf Industry, and the Agriculture Industry.

NORAHG is opposed to PESTICIDE FREE jurisdictions where LUNATIC-TERRORISTS have DOOMED CHILDREN to SUFFER INJURIES since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION inevitably leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS.

NORAHG pledges to deliver comprehensive reports that are worthy of peoples’ time and of peoples’ concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.

NORAHG was the brainchild of William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.

Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone Force Of Nature Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.

On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press.

The reports and blogs from Pesticide Truths, Uncle Adolph, and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.

Many of these reports and blogs provide a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY, the neutrality of which might be disputed.

This is what we do. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.
