Berries are early

By Jeff NagelB.C. strawberry growers are enjoying a very early crop

and blueberry farmers are about to join them.A mild winter and a warm, dry spring has been ideal for

growing quality blueberries much sooner than usual, says Jason Smith, an Abbotsford blueberry farmer and chair of the B.C. Blueberry Council.

“I’ve heard that some growers may start around the 15th of June in the eastern part of the Valley,” Smith said.

He expects many blueberry farms will be producing by about June 20-25 – well ahead of the typical start of the sea-son between the end of June and July 5.

By Jennifer LangAdams Road, a Cloverdale elemen-

tary school that opened just four years ago, is already set for a big expansion.

Th e school is getting 10 new class-rooms in a new, two-storey addition that will break ground in a couple of weeks, adding 240 spaces once com-pleted next year, boosting capacity to 530.

Education minister Peter Fassbend-er, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux, Surrey School Board chair Shawn Wilson and others joined staff , parents and students for a sod-turning ceremony Monday.

“It’s hard to believe that this school was just opened four years ago, and

we’re here today announcing another addition of 10 additional classrooms,” Fassbender said.

Th e Surrey Board of Education is contributing $19 million (or 30 per cent) of the total construction costs for the three school expansions (Ad-ams Road, Morgan Elementary and Rosemary Heights), and towards the previously announced $55.2 million

nouncement the latest success in addressing the pace of growth in the city.

“Surrey and the Sur-rey school district are popular places to live,” he said, noting the school already has 13 portables. “It means we pretty much have an ongoing challenge in managing growth in the district.

Adams Road prin-cipal Joanne Berka thanked staff , students and parents for their “patience and perse-verance” in working around overcapacity issues in the past few years.

“It will be great to see the work beginning in the next few weeks,” she said. “It will be a very visible and tangible way to know that relief is on the way for some of our portables.”

Berka called the addi-

tion plans exciting.Eight new elemen-

tary classrooms and two more kindergarten classrooms will be built

around a central space.“Th ere are some

large, common spaces where we can all work together.”

“Oh no, here we go,” mutters the person blind to the colonial history of Canada now that, aft er six years, the Truth and Reconcili-ation Commission (TRC) has issued its re-port on the dark past of residential schools in Canada.

“Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?”

Th at is what “he” said to me.Th ere are certain subjects usually left alone

by those who should know better. Topics where we don’t really hear what some people think. Most people keep their ignorance to themselves.

“Th at was the past, get over it.”I hate to point it out but these are not the

opinions of some bygone era. Th ese are atti-tudes held by some people, most who won’t admit it, in the here and now. Present and but a scratch below a thin layer of political cor-rectness that covers our daily discourse.

“Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?”

I write it again, because it struck me as amaz-ing. Th is is what was said to me by someone I chatted with a few weeks ago who, frankly, should know better. An educated, employed, successful member of Chilliwack society.

He used the term “Indians,” even. Lots of people do. No, he wasn’t talking about people from India. I asked. But the fellow I was talk-ing to suggested that when talking about our local Sto:lo population, he prefers “Indian” over “native” or “aboriginal.”

And don’t even start him on the political manipulation behind the term “First Nations.”

“Don’t talk about Indians to this guy,” he joked as others joined us in the public setting where our conversation took place. Laughs.

Apparently, I’ve learned, it is political cor-rectness run amok when people suggest an objectively inaccurate term is just weird to use.

“You know where India is, right?” I asked the aforementioned fellow.

No comment.“OK, you know the ‘Indians’ in

this country have endured an at-tempted cultural genocide, right?” I pushed.

Get over it, was the response. Start paying some taxes.

I almost hate to write these words because they are true. Today many local Sto:lo folks are likely grappling with Justice Murray Sinclair’s report, its 94 recommendations, something that invariably will dig up the terrible wounds of what was endured at residential schools by parents grandparents and great-grandparents.

Th e ignorance and hatred that led to a cultural genocide, a government-church led systematic “killing the Indian in the child” is done. It’s gone from our churches. It’s gone from our cultural institutions. It’s gone from our government.

But the sentiment does remain, if below the surface, that aboriginals should just snub out the last remnants of that language, drop the cultural practices, forget the drumming and the hunting and the fi shing and the rest of it, and just be more like us.

Why can’t you be more like “us”?Th ere is, among us mostly white settlers,

a belligerent sense of entitlement, but even more so a disregard for any expression of cul-ture from those who were here before us.

“Political correctness” is a false label for what is simply correctness.

Th e guy I was talking to says the term First Nations is politically correct “crap” and he re-

fuses to use it. Fine, but it also just happens to be correct. Th ese “na-tions” of people were here “fi rst.”

Now that the TRC report is out, it’s really time to get our collective white heads out of our asses, ac-knowledge the horrible truth that some of our ancestors took part in

or at least acquiesced to, and reconcile.Th is doesn’t mean saying “we are sorry you

are upset” one more time. Th is means starting a process whereby individuals like the one I quoted above are forced to learn some history. Learn how children were stolen from their parents as government policy.

“Cultural genocide is the destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group”

Th is is big stuff , and it’s been buried for too long. What we should not do is let the igno-rance of the “be more like us” sentiment carry on.

Th ose today who are blind to history and what went on with the Indian School Act need to open their eyes.

– Paul J. Henderson is a reporter at the Chilliwack Times.

Reconcillation aside, racism is still here

When will it be enough?To the editor;

District 36 is cutting signifi -cant hours to special education assistants. Elsewhere, CUPE lo-cals are protesting the cuts in the media. Parents are understand-ably upset and so are teachers. Children who received over 20 hours before may now be getting no more than eight, regardless of need. It will just make things more diffi cult in the classroom.

At the high school, they are apparently doing less integra-tion into regular classrooms as this requires more EA support. It is cheaper to have students in a small group with one to two EAs.

However, this is a disservice if the student is higher functioning and able to follow in the regular

class. I think this should be front page Surrey news.

Th at the government is pro-moting private schools is clear, passing legislation last week so cities can’t tax them.

Th e minister is out selling our education to China and Japan, meanwhile public schools are suff er-ing; 1.4 million in scholarships will be given to foreign students while our children are on wait lists for testing and services.

He is attracting more ESL students while second language specialists in many districts are sparse or nonexistent, adding further pressure in our class-rooms.

In B.C., private schools have received increasingly more pub-lic funding: $311 million in 2014-15 – a whopping 61.1 per cent increase since 2005-06 – and more than triple the 19.7 per

cent rise in public education...

Although Surrey district has always spent more than what they are given on special needs,

the facts are, this government is underfunding our system on the backs of the most vulnerable and sabotaging our public education.

Business walk abouts to build connectionsMost of you are hopefully aware of the Sur-

rey RCMP Neighbourhood Safety Cam-paign. Th e Neighbourhood Safety Cam-

paign provides residents with the information they need to mobilize their community and enhance the livability of their neighbourhood.

Th roughout 2015, the Surrey RCMP will be meet-ing with neighbourhoods across the city to address crime issues in that area and help residents create a safer neighbourhood.

Presentation topics include:• Community engagement and mobilization• Surrey RCMP initiatives• Property crime• “Observe it. Report it.” – reporting crime and

suspicious activity• Engaging with police in crime preventionHere in Cloverdale/Port Kells we have hosted two

of these meetings so far this year. A third meeting is slated for this fall. Th e date and

location are still to be fi nalized; however local resi-dents will be given ample notifi cation of the meet-ing.

Th is will aff ord you the opportunity to engage with your local RCMP.

Looking forward to connectingTh e Cloverdale/Port Kells RCMP District Offi ce

has also commenced a “business walk about”. Th e focus will be to make contact with a cross

section of the business community at their place of business.

We will make brief, impromptu visits to address any concerns or issues that may aff ect the business community.

Our “business walk about” team will consist of a maximum of three people. It will be a combina-tion of myself and either Shona Yuzwa, our Offi ce Coordinator, or Jody Nelson, our Crime Prevention Programs Coordinator, and one of our Community Safety Offi cers.

Our goal is to conduct these visits once or twice a week until September 2015.

As you can appreciate we will not be able to visit every business during this period. We are looking forward to connecting with our business commu-nity over the summer.

If you would prefer a confi rmed visit to your busi-

ness location instead of waiting for a visit, please contact Jody Nelson at 604-502-6265.

Summer park patrols start upWith the arrival of warmer weather the annual

Surrey RCMP Parks Patrol program has started up again.

Th e focus of the program is to reduce calls for po-lice service by maintaining peace and safety in city parks, beaches, schools, adjacent residential neigh-borhoods and business areas.

Th ese proactive police patrols have proven to be eff ective in the past.

Here are a few friendly reminders to share with your family and friends while you’re out enjoying our city’s parks this spring/summer: you cannot be in any parks aft er dark and there will be zero toler-ance for any alcohol and drug off ences.

Please note this brief overview of fi nes that will be enforced:

• In Park aft er Dark – Sec. 9 – $200• Unlawful Possession of Liquor – Sec. 21– $200• Consumption by Minor – Sec. 34 (1) – $230• Minor in Possession – Sec. 34 (3) – $230• Consume Liquor in Public – Sec. 40 (1) – $230Please share this information to ensure that we all

have a safe and enjoyable summer.– Sgt. Dan Gibbons writes a monthly column for the

Ten years on stage for troupeBy Jennifer LangFrom community

festivals, hospitals, and elementary schools to the stage at the Clover-dale Legion, the Versa-tiles have performed in an astonishing array of venues.

Formed in 2005, the Cloverdale-based troupe of golden-aged performers is marking that milestone with a special anniversary show – a road trip of sorts.

Vagabonds: Are We Th ere Yet? is a musical trip through history, presented twice on June 13 at Clayton Heights Secondary, fi rst as a 2:30 p.m. matinee and later as an evening show (6:30 p.m.). Special guest Jennifer Scott is a musician and instructor.

Th e Versatiles are a non-profi t group looking to raise enough money to build a Vaudeville type theatre and entertainment mu-seum in Cloverdale.

Founder Susie Fran-cis Hall comes from a family of old-fashioned entertainers. Her father was Fran Dowie and her mom was Candy Kane, and she has been performing profession-

ally since the age of seven.

Francis has a tireless devotion to a style of music and laughter that originated out of Vaudeville, which is where the show starts off . From there, the musical numbers head north to the Gold Fields and Yukon, then to the Calgary Stampede and the prairies, out east to Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, veering south to New York, Texas, Hollywood and Reno, and fi nally back home, by way of Vancouver Island.

Tickets to Vagabonds are available by calling

604-613-3116 or email newsroom@clover-

dalereporter.com to win tickets.

Surrey LEGO exhibit travels back to the future

By Jennifer LangMembers of the Vancouver Lego Club used one

million plastic bricks to portray 20 millennia of Fraser Valley history in their latest imagination-fi lled extravaganza at the Surrey Museum.

Six, minutely detailed dioramas form Lego: A Fraser Valley Odyssey, which opened June 2 and is on display to Sept. 19, telling the story of the Fra-ser Valley’s prehistoric past, bustling present and

post-dystopic future.Th e club was able to exercise plenty of creative

licence in bringing Surrey’s natural history to life, which is why woolly mammoths and penguins roam receding ice fi elds in Cloverdale, and a now-shuttered Clova Cinema (which dimmed the lights in 2014) is showing the latest Lego movie.

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESSContemporary Surrey City Centre is rendered as a bustling Metropolis that’s home to building cranes, Surrey Memorial Hospital (complete with helipad), and a highrise condo tower where the denizens of the penthouse host a hot tub party.

“It’s not all histori-cally accurate,” admits Greg Yellenik, curator of exhibitions at the Surrey Museum. “Th ere’s a lot of imagination. Th e cre-ative juices were fl ow-ing.”

Th ere’s serious stuff , too. Ripe red cranberry fi elds surround 1858 Fort Langley, and pre-contact shelters used by First Nations along the Fraser River are as his-torically accurate as the building medium will allow.

Th e exhibit has been two years in the mak-ing. Consider the stats for the diorama depict-ing Sept. 3, 2083: eight builders worked 2,000 hours using 75,000 Lego pieces.

All told, the exhibit consists of about one million pieces.

“Th ey think it’s more than that,” Yellenik says.

“It’s thousands of hours. But a lot of it isn’t specifi cally done for this exhibit.”

Th irty members of the Vancouver Lego Club played a part in building the exhibit, sometimes re-purpos-ing already existing structures.

A member who spe-cializes in building ac-curate models of real buildings, for instance, built a Lego version of the Surrey Museum – complete with a mini-fi g Mountie on guard – along with Th e Clova, and Surrey Memorial Hospital, which are part of the contemporary Surrey diorama.

Th e exhibit required fl ights of fancy, too.

Fift y years into the future, oceans rise over suburban rooft ops, thanks to global warm-ing. Survivors grow veggies on what’s left of the Port Mann bridge, Waterworld-style, even as Expo ‘86’s infamous McBarge fl oats sedately nearby.

Th e genius is in the details. Be sure to look for the time travellers (or their wheels) hidden among the action: Mad Max’s Interceptor (“Th e last of the V-8s”), TV Time Lord Dr. Who’s blue telephone box, and the DeLorean Marty McFly borrowed from

Doc Brown in Back to the Future.

Th ere’s a time travellerin every scene, says Yel-lenik.

Th e Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave. It’s open Tues-days to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admis-sion is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society. For more information, call 604-592-6956 or visit www.surrey.ca/AH.

Prank 911 call prompts schools lockdownBy Tracy HolmesA prank call report-

ing a violent domestic incident and shots fi red sent two schools into emergency lockdown and massive police re-sources to a South Sur-rey neighbourhood last Wednesday.

Police were advised around noon of the 911 call received by the BC

Ambulance Service, and were on the scene of a home in a cul-de-sac in the 14600-block of 17A Street “within a couple minutes.”

An hour later, how-ever, the issue was con-fi rmed a non-event.

“What we discovered is this is a fi ctitious, prank call,” acting Insp. Keith Bramhill told re-

porters.“Th ere was a lone

female occupant that was… distraught to see the police presence out-side her home.”

Resources deployed included the RCMP’s tactical armored vehi-cle, the Emergency Re-sponse Team, a canine unit and about a dozen other police vehicles.

Firefi ghters and para-medics were also on scene.

Residents reported seeing police staking out the house from be-hind trees, prior to the alert being lift ed.

“You should see the weaponry they pulled out,” said area resident Brian Gough.

In addition to Semi-

ahmoo Secondary and H.T. Th rift Elementary, the South Surrey Indoor Pool was locked down as a precaution.

“A lot of resources were expended here,” Bramhill said.

Th e school lockdown was downgraded to a “code yellow” shortly aft er 12:30 p.m., accord-ing to students at the

scene. Shortly aft er 1:05 p.m., police began clear-ing the area and the lockdowns were lift ed.

Bramhill described such prank calls as a concern to police, and said investigation now will focus on tracking down where the call originated from and who is responsible.

It’s considered an act of public mischief, he said.

Anyone convicted of public mischief can be sentenced to a maxi-mum fi ve years in jail and fi ned up to $5,000.

Bramhill noted the call does not appear to have been computer-generated.

Such incidents “can be unnerving,” Cpl. Scotty Schumann said.

“Our offi cers are highly trained and experienced in deal-ing with these types of situations. Community safety is the paramount consideration.”

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-8477.

– with fi les from Melissa Smalley, Black Press

Tips soughtTh ieves used crow

bars to pry open the back door of the Shop-pers Drug Mart in Cloverdale early last Th ursday morning, Surrey RCMP District 4 offi ce said in an alert to other businesses in the area.

Surveillance video showed two suspects entering the door at 5:06 a.m. May 26. Th ey were wearing dark clothing, but one of the suspects was wearing an orange construction-type vest with large refl ective stripes.

Police say the thieves stole fi ve gaming con-soles.

Businesses in the area are being asked to review any video sur-veillance footage they may have at or near this location at the time the theft occurred.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the Cloverdale/Port Kells District Offi ce of the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-7642.

In the driver’s seatLESLIE MCKELLAR PHOTO

Cloverdale’s Karen Wilkie (No. 29) of Team Cat Attack races in the Hornet class at Agassiz Speedway.

A Cloverdale mom of three is tearing it up at Agassiz SpeedwayBy Jennifer LangCloverdale’s Karen

Wilkie remembers exactly how it felt get-ting back in the driver’s seat aft er a decade away from stock car racing.

It was April 26, 2014, and as she sat in a 1991 Honda Civic waiting to enter the course, her heart pounded in her chest and her breath-ing was quick. She was feeling nervous, even afraid, but somehow exhilarated, too.

She hadn’t slept well

the night before – she’d been too preoccupied with images of the track’s corners and banks, scared she’d use the wrong foot to clutch and brake. Th e left foot does both in stock car racing.

Th en, the fl ag waved. It was her turn to go.

“At that moment, all those fears and anxiet-ies vanished, and I was driving, in my element,” Wilkie recalls of her comeback aft er more than a decade off road

to start a family. “I knew this was where I was meant to be. It felt great!”

Today, Wilkie is a rising star at Agassiz Speedway, where she races Saturday nights in the Hornet class.

She still goes through the same mix of anxi-ety, fear, exhilaration and excitement the night before.

“It’s just part of the adrenaline rush of being part of the race,” she says, adding she

believes it’s the same for every race car driver, rookie or seasoned veteran.

Th e smell of the track – burning metal, brakes and oil – takes her back to her roots.

Growing up in the 1970s and ‘80s, she loved going to the PNE each summer with her parents and three sisters. Th e highlight – other than riding the wooden roller coaster

– was watching the demolition derby.

Noisy and exciting, the derby was an irre-sistible combination of skill, calculated bravery and raw recklessness.

Drivers in specially-modifi ed cars crashed into each other on pur-pose. Th e last car still moving was declared the winner, so drivers kept going as long as they could, even with fl at tires and blown radiators, a spectacle that fi lled the arena

with smoke, exhaust and the roar of labour-ing engines.

By Grade 12, she’d signed up for auto mechanics at school, earning top marks. Th e derby was cancelled by the time she graduated.

But it was brought back in 1992. Wilkie found herself helping her buddy Al Silvester and his girlfriend drum up sponsors for an old wreck so he could turn it into a rollover stunt car and enter it at the PNE. She was into pho-tography at the time,

and her photos helped him earn the notice of sponsors.

Wilkie admits she wasn’t content to stay behind the camera lens – she wanted in on the action, and by 1995, Silvester built her a rollover stunt car of her very own.

“It was a dream come true,” she says. Aft er years of being a specta-tor, she was fi nally part of the show.

Immersed in the world of automobile mayhem, she was in her element for the next fi ve years until the derby – a PNE tradi-tion for 30 years – was fi nally cancelled for good.

Wilkie got a chance to try her hand at stock

car racing at the fi nal derby in 2000. It was an all-female exhibition race.

She had so much fun she convinced someone to let her drive a Honda Civic at a mini-stock race at Abbotsford’s Agrifair the following year.

By then, she’d become a mom. So, for the next dozen years, she took a break from motorsports to get married and raise three kids, moving to Cloverdale in 2004.

Th e marriage, she says, didn’t work out. But her passion for mo-torsports never died.

“I knew when my kids were old enough, I’d get back to it some way, somehow.”

Th at day came when a friend who has raced at Agassiz for a number of years asked Silvester

if he knew of anyone willing to race his college-bound daugh-ter’s old stock car.

Apart from mini-stock at the PNE, Wilkie’s racing experi-ence was pretty slim. But it was the opening she’d been waiting for.

Fortunately, the car – a 1991 Honda Civic – was handed to her with the promise that she could just take it out and just have fun, to see if she liked it.

Well, like it she did. She entered every

race she could, compet-ing in nine of 10 sched-uled race dates in 2014, earning enough points to rank eighth out of 24 drivers, and become the top female driver in the standings.

Not bad for a rookie.She thrives on the

technical challenge of precision driving – it’s not just about going fast, but also knowing how to time the brake in the turn. Plus, there’s the undeniable element of danger.

“Th at adrenaline rush is probably the high-light of being a partici-pant in this crazy and wonderful sport.”

Her team, Cat Attack, is excited about the 2015 season, which got underway a few weeks ago at Agassiz, where Wilkie – No. 29 – is trying out a new race car, a 1993 Honda Civic built using pieces of her previous ‘91 Civic.

Preparing the cars to race, “does take a good chunk of cash,” she says, “from spare parts, to reinforcing body parts – so they don’t fl y off in a crash, for example – to engine oil and fuel, even paint.”

It all adds up, so it’s important to attract sponsors to help off set the costs of fueling her passion for the raceway.

She’s grateful for the support of local Surrey and Langley businesses.

Agassiz Speedway is a quarter mile oval track run by a non-profi t soci-ety and featuring four categories of racing.

Wilke enters in the Hornet class – simply-built, four-cylinder cars that are relatively aff ord-able for racers wanting to enter the sport.

Th e track is just a six minute drive from Har-rison Hot Springs, mak-ing it a fun destination as an outing for a family on a Saturday night. Specators can take in the races and go relax at the resort. Th ere’s camping nearby, too.

Team Cat Attack is also looking for pit crew members to assist with mechanical issues, change tires, check fl uid levels and change broken parts.

“A good race car al-ways has a good team behind it, not just a good driver,” says Wilkie, who wants to help spread awareness about the

She’s enjoying every minute of ittrack, in hopes of luring more spectators out to watch, and en-courage potential racers.

“Hornet class racing is for your every day Joe to get out there and drive fast, sometimes in excess of 120 km/h – in second gear!” she says.

“We want folks to know they don’t have to use the streets to drive fast. Th ey can build a race car and take it to the track and satisfy that hunger for speed.”

Age isn’t a barrier – there are racers in their teens and drivers who are over 70.

Wilkie traces her fascination

with motorsports back to her own childhood.

Her dad, a member of the Burnaby Road Regals car club, used to take her mom on dates to Abbotsford, where in the 1950s there were street races by the air-port.

“My mom told me stories of how the police would shut down sections of road, just so the street racers could have their fun on Saturday nights,” says Wilkie, adding girlfriends and wives got to race in the powder puff race at the end of the night.

Now a single mom of three, racing her heart out on Saturday nights in Agassiz, she is continu-

ing that family tradition. “It’s in my blood!”

With motorsports, she feels right at home.

“I may not be the best at what I do, but I’m right there with the guys, enjoying every minute of it.”

On June 20, Wilkie is one of the many Hornet class drivers competing in a doozy – a 100-lap race.

It should be an exciting night for the fans, she says, adding there will also be many drivers from other tracks visiting that day, too.– The schedule is at agassizspeedway.
