Butterflies are free

Milana Cherry and other students from A.J. McLellan Elementary School in Cloverdale helped release more than 300 Painted Lady butterflies last Wednesday at the butterfly garden at Surrey Centre Cemetery. The students raised and released the butterflies in partnership with cemetery staff, who maintain the garden. Butterflies are a boon to the garden, providing food for birds and wildlife, and keeping greenery free of pests.

By Jennifer Lang Four men were injured in two separate Surrey shootings that took place 24 hours apart this weekend. On Friday, Surrey RCMP received reports of shots fired in the 5700-block of 152 Street. Two men suffering from gunshot wounds were taken to hospital and are expected to make full recoveries. And on Saturday night two men were shot during an exchange of gunfire in the 18600-block of Hwy 10. Both have nonlife theatening injuries.

Police are still looking for a silver Pontiac Vibe seen fleeing the area westbound immediately following the shooting. In a press conference Monday, Police said Friday’s shooting appears to be targeted but is not linked to the ongoing, low level drug trade turf war in Surrey, however Saturday’s incident is one of 18 shootings that are connected. Police released an image of one of the men shot Saturday, Ravinder Samra, and say they’ve learned he was at the Cactus Club in Langley before the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-915-6566 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Garden club set to bloom By Jennifer Lang It was a scene any gardener might envy: a shaded patio deck with an expansive view, several sturdy tables to use as potting stations, a steady supply of soil, flats of flowers ready for planting, and, best of all, a crew of willing volunteers eager to get started. On a recent Monday, residents and staff at a local complex care facility launched a new gardening club by tackling what’s probably the biggest task of the season – potting up fresh planters. The Residence at Clayton Heights is home for about 130 people, seniors requiring complex care and people with brain injuries. “We just thought it would be a very therapeutic thing for the residents to do,” says recreation coordinator Kayla Allan, who helped organize the new program. “Planting is just a beautiful thing to do,” she said. “It just makes you more happy.” Her colleague, Karissa Tedford, agrees, explaining that gardening is a creative process that has physical and mental benefits – from fostering hand-eye coordination to inspir-

For those who can’t express themselves verbally, gardening is another way to interact. “It’s also a chance for family members to come out,” Tedford said. The club – staff and 22 residents ready to bloom – will meet weekly to water the

By Jennifer Lang From displays of authentic military equipment to a pancake breakfast and yummy burgers, there will be plenty to see and sample this Saturday, when Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 in Cloverdale holds its open house. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has been invited to officially open the June 20 celebration at 11 a.m., marking Legion Week. Exhibits include real military hardware, from a Ferret Scout Car, BMV Motorcycle and a half track armoured vehicle to a display of military weaponry and artifacts. The displays and equipment are on loan for the day from various corners, including the Canadian Military Education Centre Museum in Chilliwack and the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, which is sending over a First World War Sopworth Camel aircraft. Check out the bouncy castle, dunk tank and sumo wrestling and learn more about one of the hardest-working community organizations around, the Cloverdale Legion. Inside, there will be information tables on membership, various cadet corps, legion partners and private collectors, along with a 50-50 draw (proceeds to the Surrey Association for Community Living), pancake breakfast (9 to 11 a.m.), hot dog and hamburger sales from 12:30 to 3 p.m. The event runs to 4 p.m. June 20 is also Market Day in Cloverdale.

Tyler Warnock, a Grade 11 student at Clayton Heights Secondary, started volunteering because he thought it would be an enriching experience. He’s hoping to enter medicine. “It’s been good,” he said, explaining he’s learned patience and better communication skills. “I’ve enjoyed it a lot.” The facility, located at 18788 71 Avenue, opened in 2012.

Nothing new about racism The question is, what could we have done differently and how do we clean the mess? To the editor; Re: “Reconciliation aside, racism is still here,” Opinions, June 10 Nothing new here. Racism is still here, has always been here, and will continue to be here. There is no race on the face of the earth that has an immunity to racism, or has not practiced it. Racism is a fact of life. You can suppress it, you can eliminate it from general conversation in most cases, but not in all cases. It will still pop up in private conversation, because it is embedded in the human psyche, and all of the brainwashing in the world will not remove it. It will simply drive it underground. It is definitely not what we want. We want everyone to feel safe, secure, and happy in the skin they were born in, wherever they happen to be. At the same time, we do not want people running around crying racism, sexism, and

all of the other ‘isms’ that come to mind, for no other reason than to shut up conversation that they do not like. After all, there is still free speech, even if it limited by political correctness. Cultural genocide, as used by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, is way over the top, and is used for shock effect. It is also an insult to those who suffered real genocide, in that the plan was to wipe them from the face of the earth. First of all, it is inaccurate because our native culture is alive and well, and is still practiced by our native residents. Yes, they did lose their native languages, and since there are more than 600 different languages, and variations of these languages, it is highly unlikely they will get them get

them back. There is more hope for the Cree Nation, since their language was also a written language. I would only have to ask the [column’s author] Chilliwack reporter Paul J. Henderson one question, and I am sure he would not have an answer. If we pressed the ‘reset’ button before there were residential schools or reserves, what would he have done differently to avoid the mess we made, or are accused of making? At the present time, only one-third of native children, compared to the general high school population, receive their high school diploma? Whose fault is that?

No cuts for special needs students, district says Parents advised to clarify with principals; computer glitch blamed By Sheila Reynolds Despite widespread concern that Surrey students with special needs will receive less classroom assistance in the new school year, district officials assure there will be no cuts to service or education assistant hours. Many parents of students with special-learning or health issues were told by school staff in recent weeks that their children would be receiving less classroom support from Education Assistants (EAs) starting in September. For example, Tina Keefe was initially informed that daughter Madelyn, who has a serious congenital heart defect, would have her EA hours cut from full-time to just eight hours per week. She was subsequently told the hours would be cut, but that it remained unclear how much. “This concerns me greatly for my child’s safety at school,” says Keefe, explaining her daughter was born with half a heart and has some developmental issues because she’s spent so much time in hospital. “We depend on these EA hours not only for her safety – as she could go in to cardiac arrest at any time – but also for

help in the classroom.” Another said her son’s hours are also being reduced, despite the fact his behaviour once prompted his school to be evacuated. A third said she was advised her child’s hours with EA support would be cut drastically unless she got a doctor’s letter saying the boy (who has autism) requires additional support in the classroom. That parent spends hours advocating for her child, and worries other parents won’t be able to do the same. However, the Surrey School District says the confusion about EA cuts stems from two things: a glitch in the computerized government system that isn’t yet showing the hundreds of new kindergarten students entering B.C. schools in September, and a miscommunication of the new system of doling out EA hours to Surrey students. While the provincial government’s student information system has deducted the EA hours of the Grade 7s who are leaving for high school, it hasn’t added in the kindergarten enrolment numbers for fall. That has resulted in an inaccurate picture –

and, in many cases, an apparent reduction in total EA hours. As for apparent changes in EA hours for individual students, Rick Ryan, deputy superintendent of the school district (previously the director of special education in Surrey) says service to children with learning needs will not be reduced. “The board has not made any reductions, they’ve in fact added hours,” he said. That was confirmed by Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education, who said that not only is the current number of EAs in the district being maintained, plans are in the works to hire another 35 for fall. The difference for the coming year, explained Ryan, is that instead of principals simply receiving a block of EA time, they’ve been shown where those hours come from and how they’re allocated per student, so administrators can see the level of need for each child. As has been the case for several years, principals still have the discretion to use the total EA hours at their school where they see fit.

To concerned parents such as Keefe, Ryan advises seeking clarification with the school principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hours are going to flow and principals are going to have discretion. If that was my child, I would say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;so, tell me what support is going to look like for my child. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me about eight hours because I know you have discretion.

Ryan says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wanting the teacher and the EA and the principal to be able to do is to use judgment to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how do we best support all our learners?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Ryan said the district is working to clarify things and said principals who still feel there needs to be changes or additions to their schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EA hours must contact the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We constant make adjustments.

against each other regardless of the school district requesting the project,” added spokesman Matt Silver. Silver described Surrey as “one of the few school districts which has had enrollment growth in the past 10 years,” and noted the province has invested more than $335 million in it since 2001. “We continue to work with the school district to create more spaces for students.” School board chair Shawn Wilson described the wait for capital funding to address critical needs, such as that at EMS, as “outrageous.” He said the district is “working gung-ho” on the Grandview site, but “even if they give us the money tomorrow, it’s another three years (before the school would be ready).” “You’re never really catching up. It’s just a moving target that’s always behind.” Purchase of land for the new secondary school was approved by the provincial government in 2011, and the site was acquired the following summer. At that time, ministry officials ranked construction of the facility fourth in

priority, behind the new Clayton North Secondary school and additions at Adams Road and Rosemary Heights elementaries, and school district officials estimated it would open in 2016. Now, if funding were announced tomorrow, students currently in Grade 8 would be “very fortunate” if it were ready in time for their graduation, Wilson said. Tinney said district officials met with Treasury Board staff about three times in

the past year in an effort to press their point, and convinced them to come see for themselves exactly what Surrey is dealing with. After a day touring the district last week, “they said it was really helpful to see it,”

Tinney said. It remains to be seen if the visit will have any impact on Surrey’s current capital allotment, which currently means more than 6,000 students are learning in portable classrooms. District secretary treasurer Wayne Noye noted that the number of portables in the district climbed to 274 by this month; an increase of 110 since August 2003. To put it in perspective, 274 portables equate to seven, 500-capacity elementary schools, Noye said. Wilson noted the district is “100 per cent” covered for its operating budget for fall. This time last year, officials were struggling with a $8.5-million shortfall and how to make “across the board” cuts that would have the least impact in the classroom. “Last year’s troublesome cuts have already been absorbed,” he said. A key factor in that is the savings realized during last year’s teachers strike, which delayed the start of the 2014-15 school year by three weeks. – Black Press

Dewey DeVries had never heard bagpipes until his country was liberated in 1945 By Boaz Joseph In the winter of 1944-45, the Dutch were starving. Like many of their Amsterdam neighbours, the DeVries, living in a narrow townhouse at 84 Zaanstraat, were down to eating tulip bulbs, beet roots and potato peels.

The occupation was strict but not brutal – at least initially. There were blackouts, curfews, and Dutch history erased from school curriculum. DeVries remembers the sound of the steel-heeled boots of Germans on parade. It was meant to intimidate, and it did, although the Germans did find support from some Dutch collaborators. From mid-1942 to the fall of 1944, the Germans deported 107,000 Dutch Jews to the death camps, mostly Auschwitz and Sobibor. Just 5,200 survived. Some 25,000-30,000 other Jews hid among the Dutch population, and about three-quarters of those survived. The rest of the Dutch population carried on throughout the war as it could, and resistance increased as time went on. By June 1944, with the Allied landings in Normandy, the Dutch were optimistic. With British and Canadian forces heading through Belgium towards Holland, Dutch workers decided on a general strike to tie down the German army. Holland expected to be liberated, but was instead, by the fall, an open-air prison. “Anything the Germans could confiscate, they did,” recalls DeVries. He describes the former Jewish neighbourhoods of Amsterdam as nothing but bricks. Already emptied of their people, the homes were picked apart for firewood as winter closed in. DeVries says people today take things for granted that were almost impossible to find in Holland late in the occupation: salt, sugar, tea, soap, fruit, meat or new clothes. DeVries’ father made rubber soles for the family’s shoes. Also unavailable were bicycle tires. The bike-loving and adap-

tive Dutch sawed strips of solid rubber from truck tires and attached them to their bicycle wheels. It was on his worn-out bike, with solid rubber tires thumping on cobblestones, that Dewey DeVries rode east from Amsterdam in January 1945 to a farm belonging to his grandparents in Apeldoorn. It took two days to ride 120 kilometres. His overnight stay was with a widow in the town of Putten. Her husband had recently been executed the previous autumn by the Germans following an ambush and the killing of a German officer by the Dutch resistance. Shortly after DeVries arrived at the family farm, he was forced to stay there for two weeks because of heavy snow. His ride back home was more difficult. He had to bypass roadblocks and navigate his way home in the dark – there were no house lights or streetlights during the fiveyear blackout.

His parents were surprised by a knock at the door in the middle of the night. Their son, not heard from for almost three weeks, arrived with a bounty: 50 pounds of grain, some rye bread, one pound of butter (which had to be shared with another family) and some apples. DeVries’ mother ground the wheat in a coffee grinder and made flat bread – there was no yeast. The food helped them carry on into the early spring. Dewey DeVries made the same trip a second time, this time by car, in May 2015.

A new country

In 1948, at the age of 18, DeVries emigrated to Canada and learned how to milk a cow. “If things ever turn bad…,” he says, with a laugh. He was sponsored to work on a dairy farm in Abbotsford by his future father-in-law (and an old family friend), and married Canadian-born Dina in 1952. His father and the rest of the family also lived and worked in the TOMORROWS area. “The farms are still there,” he says. TODAY Later, he went into the construction business in Surrey and had a successful career Your Choice Could Set Them On The Right Path before retiring. Last month, Don’t miss out!

After DeVries retrieved one air-dropped package, his mother cooked her first-ever bully beef, a British staple. DeVries was also there when the Germans began to panic and fought pitched battles in the streets with the desperate Dutch. Twenty-two civilians died. “The Germans said they would surrender to the Canadians, not the Dutch resistance.” On May 5, 1945, Canadian soldiers marched into Amsterdam, their hands slapped by adoring crowds. DeVries had never heard bagpipes before. And the country’s relationship with Canada would never be the same. Every five years since, Canadian soldiers return to grateful Holland. When DeVries visited his homeland in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the liberation, there were 7,500 Canadian veterans there. This year, there were just 100. – Black Press

Proudly Supporting Local High Schools There were three winners when Jonker Auto Group (Jonker Nissan and Jonker Honda) donated two cars to be won at recent dry grad celebrations at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary. Parm Chohan was the initial winner at Lord Tweedsmuir's dry grad event, which was a four-hour boat cruise held on the MV Britannia on May 24. Local businesses provided numerous prizes in order to encourage maximum participation in the event. The event was wellattended, with more than 300 grads taking part. Three Ànalists for the dry grad car were selected in a draw at the conclusion of the overnight party. They were Chanelle Collins, Parm Chohan and Ryan Bullen. Each Ànalist was given a key to the prize car, which was unveiled at the school a few days later. Only one key would start the car, and Parm's key was the lucky one. The other two Ànalists received a $400 cash prize.

The excitement didn't stop there. As it turned out, Parm already has a car, so she generously decided to let the other two runners-up toss a coin to see which one of them would win the car. Ryan Bullen was the winner of the coin toss, so he won the car. But Parm also won. Jonker Auto Group was impressed by her generosity and has put away some funds for Parm's college plans. At Clayton Heights, the dry grad party was also held May 24. It was a six-hour Vegas-themed party, held at the school. Just under 200 students took part. The three Ànalists for the car were Anna Seiler, Brenden Paulhus and Connor Dagg. When it came time to Àt ther key into the ignition, Connor Dagg's key worked, so he is the winner. The other students received $400 cash prizes. Jonker Auto Group has provided 42 vehicles for dry grad celebrations in the Surrey and Langley area since 1998. Their emphasis is not on the type of

vehicle presented each year, but on providing the gift of a car to promote alcohol-free celebrations at graduation. The grand prize of a car has led to dramatic increases in student participation in these events over the past 17 years. Jonker auto Group is grateful to a number of suppliers who provided assistance in providing the two vehicles given away. They are Moe's Auto Glass, Save On Paint, Dents Unlimited, Boomerang Vinyl, Flying Colors Paint, Brookswood Auto Tint and New Creation Interior Repair. Special thanks go to the many employees at Jonker Nissan Service, Jonker Nissan Parts and the Jonker Auto Spa, who donate their time to make this annual dry grad car project a huge success. It is a community relationship Jonker Auto Group is proud to support in our local high schools. Karen and Karel Jonker Jonker Auto Group

, Wednesday, June June 17, 17, 2015 2015 The Cloverdale Reporter 27 Wednesday,

Senate audit singles out St. Germain By Alex Browne Retired B.C. senator and former longtime South Surrey resident Gerry St. Germain says he is prepared to defend himself against allegations he expensed more than $67,000 inappropriately while still in office. A report on senators’ expenses tabled last week by auditor general Michael Ferguson included St. Germain, 77, in a list of cases referred to “other authorities such as the RCMP.” But in a statement released to media prior to the report being tabled, St Germain said he was exploring his options for dealing with what he claimed are “adverse, baseless and unsubstantiated accusations.” “My efforts now will focus on defending my hard-earned reputation and challenging a process that has been unfair and unjust,” he states. Ferguson’s audit – which cost taxpayers $23.5 million – turned up some $1 million in allegedly questionable expenses claimed by 30 current and former senators. Now a Langley resident, St. Germain – a former cabinet minister, Conservative party organizer, police officer, air force pilot, poultry farmer and land developer – sold his Indian Springs Land and Cattle Co. Ranch on 8 Avenue – the scene of many charity and political events, following his retirement in 2012. He is one of nine singled out in the report and referred for further investigation, either for allegedly misrepresenting their principal residence or, as in St. Germain’s case, for claiming expenses for which “there was such a pervasive lack of evidence, or significant contradictory evidence, that we were prevented from reaching an audit opinion about whether the expenses had been incurred for parliamentary business.” The audit – for the period between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2013 – found St. Germain had claimed expenses totalling $55,588 that “were not primarily for parliamentary business.” There were further expenses of “at least $12,000,” Ferguson’s department found, “for which we had conflicting or insufficient information to determine that they had been incurred for parliamentary business.” Among expenses under the magnifying glass were travel costs for St.

Germain’s staff to attend political, charity and private events, including his 50th wedding anniversary, held at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club in 2011 – which Prime Minister Stephen Harper also attended. Fellow high-profile B.C. senator and former Olympic gold-medal skier Nancy Greene Raine was also among those alleged to have

filed inappropriate expenses – which included her attendance at St. Germain’s anniversary party. St. Germain and Raine, along with many of the other senators identified in the audit, have said they were claiming expenses in compliance with Senate rules and policies in place during the audit period and believed that the expenses represent-

ed parliamentary business. But in a news conference following the release of his findings, Ferguson noted an “overall lack of transparency and accountability” on the part of senators, which, he said, seemed to be “a strongly-held part of the culture.” In formal comments on the allegations published as part of the auditor general’s

report, St. Germain said he had asked Ferguson’s staff for a definition of the term “parliamentary business” as it applied to the audit, but had received no reply. He said he had shredded documents in anticipation of a move to a smaller residence, without knowing an audit would be conducted, and that in the absence of documentation, he had

supplied numerous contacts, including staff, who could have vouched for the expenses as being for “the public benefit.” “During my nearly 30 years of public service in Parliament I always complied with all of the rules that governed the legislative bodies with which I sat,” he states in his release to media.

Stetson Bowl hosts equine showcase Are you looking for a sport with high-speed action and raw horsepower? The B.C. Ranch Cutting Horse Association is holding a show at the Stetson Bowl in Cloverdale June 21 that will showcase the fast-growing sport. Organizers say ranch cutting dates back to the old west, to the days before motorized vehicles when cowboys and their horses separated or “cut” cattle from the herd. The sport developed as a way for ranchers and cowhands to show off their expertise and earn bragging rights for their

cow-savvy horses. These days, participants don’t need to own a spread like Ponderosa – just a horse that’s a willing partner, and a desire to have a lot of fun. The club offers classes for all ages and skill levels. The Father’s Day event gets underway at 8 a.m. at the Stetson Bowl on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds and will continue throughout the day, rain or shine. Admission is free. Visit bcrcha.com for more information. – Cloverdale Reporter

Audition call for ‘Calendar Girls’

Kevin Diakiw

committed to telling the truth.

Multimedia journalist at The Surrey-North Delta Leader. His “Hard to Help” series shone a spotlight on mental illness and addiction issues.

By Jennifer Lang Got the acting bug? Community theatre is a great way to get let your inner light shine. Surrey Little Theatre is holding auditions for its fall 2015 production, a stage version of Calendar Girls. Based on the movie and written by Tim Firth, Calendar Girls tells the story of how members of a women’s institute decide to pose nude for a calendar in order to raise funds for the local hospital. The gesture is in support of a woman who lost her husband to leukemia. The calendar’s success puts a strain on the women’s friendships. The stage adaptation broke box office records in Britain, and has since gone global. The SLT production will be directed by Simon Challenger, last seen as Ben Montgomery in Truth and Reconciliation. He was awarded outstanding direction by a first time director at MainStage BC. Auditions are Sunday, June 21 and Monday, June 22 at 7 pm. for the fall production, running Oct. 22 to Nov. 21 at SLT, 7027 184 Street, Surrey. Roles for nine women and four men ranging in age from 20 to 70 are being cast. No appointment necessary. Rehearsals begin in late August. For more information visit www.surreylittletheatre.com or contact Simon Challenger at schallenger@shaw.ca. There will also be many volunteer backstage opportunities available so please contact us if you are interested in joining the team. info@surreylittletheatre.com

Show me the money! What you need to know about your downpayment. Feisal Panjwani, AMP and Shimona Pinto, AMP, Your Mortgage Experts, www.YourMortgageExperts.ca | 604.576.1412

You’ve got your downpayment and you’re ready to go. Congratulations! Soon you’ll need to verify that downpayment for your mortgage approval. It’s required by all lenders to protect against fraud and to prove that you are not borrowing your downpayment, which changes your lending ratios and potential approval. Here’s how to prepare: 1. Provide a 3-month history of any bank account(s) where you have been assembling your downpayment. It’s critical that your name is linked to the account; some internet print outs don’t show a name. 2. If you had any large deposits, show its source i.e. if you sold your car, show a copy of the bill of sale. If you transferred money in from another account, bring the records for that account too. 3. If all or part of your downpayment will be a gift, a gift letter must be signed. A bank statement from the giver will verify the funds. Be prepared to show the funds deposited to your account no later than 15 days prior to closing. Gifted funds are only acceptable

from immediate family members (parents, grandparents, siblings). 4. If using RRSP money, provide a 3-month history of the account. If you are withdrawing under the Homebuyer’s Plan, the funds must have been in the account for 90 days. 5. If you are getting money from outside the country, get the money into Canada at least 30 days before funding, and provide a 90 day confirmation from that location. 6.

Are you financially ready to be a homeowner? Shelly Appleton-Benko • BA, CIM, FCSI, CSWP is a Vice President, Director, Portfolio Manager with Odlum Brown Limited.

It seems like every day there is another newsfeed telling us about the hot real estate market in Vancouver and homes selling for more than their asking price. For example, in the month of April in the Fraser Valley, the Multiple Listing Services recorded the lowest inventory of homes listed in eight years! However, the number of properties sold increased by 37%. Perhaps you or one of your family members is beginning to think about home ownership. Let’s take a look at a few financial considerations to get you started: Take an inventory of your current financial situation. • Create a personal net worth and cash flow statement. • Find out what can you afford. Get preapproved for your mortgage. • Understand the differences between variable and fixed mortgage rates, and how the length of your mortgage factors into its amortization and terms. • Do the math to figure out what would happen if your mortgage rates

change. What happens to your cash flow? Is it sustainable? Once you have purchased a home, the financial costs go beyond just mortgage payments. You will need to factor in property taxes, home insurance, utilities, home maintenance and repairs, yard care, and perhaps even renovations. Your home is an important part of your life and you’ll still need to save for your retirement while balancing fun activities like dining out or going on a holiday. So don’t overstretch your mortgage. Thinking it might be too much too handle? Remember that one of the big benefits of home ownership is building equity – that’s not something that can be done while renting. Home ownership can be a rewarding experience, but be sure to do your homework first and know what kind of financial commitment you are getting yourself into!
