‘It’s a different neighbourhood’ Morgan Heights resident says his South Surrey community is reeling under the pressure of ongoing development

Morgan Heights Jacob Zinn

Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn

andalism, break-ins and a transient population aren’t commonly associated with South Surrey, but Karsten Roh saw his share of undesirable activity in his neighbourhood about seven years back. That was when developers started paving over previously rural areas of Morgan Heights to make way for big box stores, townhomes and shopping centres in the nearby Grandview area.

Roh’s neighbourhood sits just north of 24th Avenue on the east side of Highway 99, stretching to 164th Street, but when Grandview Corners was being built, his quiet street changed. “In the past, there was really nothing,” said Roh, who has lived on a triangular lot along 156th Street since 1993. “Kids could go out there and play street hockey if they wanted to – it was that sort of a quiet street. And it wasn’t even a dead end.” The development put pressure on 156th Street, which is a diversion road off of Croydon Drive, a street that would otherwise seamlessly connect Morgan Crossing to Rosemary Heights to the north. As part of the area’s development deal, the dirt road on 156th was covered in asphalt, and Roh saw that as an invitation for commuters to cut through his neighbourhood. “Nobody took Croydon and 156th, there was nothing going on there at all,” he said.“Once they paved that, that was the green light – ‘OK, everybody, this is the way to get from 24th to 32nd (avenues). see STRESS OF DEVELOPMENT › page 3

NEIGHBOURHOODS: Morgan Heights

Stress of development takes its toll Karsten Roh, who has lived in Morgan Heights for more than 20 years, saw his quiet community grew noisier with nearby shopping centres and development. In the last decade, his neighbourhood and surrounding areas have increased in population by an estimated 20,000 people. (Photo: JACOB ZINN)

‹ from page 1

“There’s a traffic hour out there at eight in the morning and 4:30 p.m. – you can see it’s just one car after the other. It’s a different neighbourhood.” While the roadwork smoothed over 156th Street, it’s still rather narrow and doesn’t have sidewalks. Nonetheless, many residents try walking along the grassy sides at their own risk as vehicles whiz by. “It’s interesting, watching people try to traverse 156th because there are no shoulders and the gravel’s maybe a foot and a half, two feet wide at best and then there’s a ditch,” said Roh. “At 20 feet wide, you get some dump trucks or a semi trailer going by there and he’s got to share that with other traffic – he doesn’t have any room to give a pedestrian. It’s tight.” Part of the problem is that many nearby townhouses are within walking distance from Morgan Crossing, but there isn’t an adequate pathway for residents to get to the shops on foot. With 20,000 new neighbours in Morgan Heights and Grandview, that’s a lot of extra foot traffic. “If you’re down in the development north of here on 156th and you want to do some shopping, there’s nothing down there,” he said. “There’s no convenience store, nothing. Your drug store, your dentist, all your amenities are up there (in Morgan Crossing).” He said it gets really busy on weekends. “Lots of people decide if it’s that close, why hop in the vehicle? It is that close, it is walking distance, so everybody’s walking.” A sidewalk wasn’t necessary when Roh moved in more than 20 years ago, but pedestrian safety on his street is now becoming a real concern. As narrow as

who need a place to live – transients, and they’re going from home to home to home.” Roh recalled one instance when he was walking through his neighbourhood and peered into the backyard of homes that had recently been bought by developers. A local told him that teenagers had been partying in a home and showed him other boarded-up lots where transients had smashed windows and torn holes in walls during their temporary stays. “I know where he was coming from – he had enough, he didn’t like it,” said Roh of the local. “As homeowners that remain here, that’s what we go through while this happens out there. “It happens in every neighbourhood. It surprises me that Surrey has not taken that matter into their own hands and told developers to get rid of these homes so that the existing community doesn’t have to put up with the nonsense.” But transients weren’t the only ones causing destruction in the community – even some locals turned out to be shady. “Somebody let in some really bad

the road is already, it doesn’t help when construction workers use 156th to park their large trucks, essentially making it a one-lane street. “These dump trucks with the transfers, they’re still parking there,” said Roh. “I would’ve thought that Surrey may have come along and put up some ‘No Parking’ signs.” Roh acknowledged that with any community taken over by development, there are growing pains, but there are also seemingly unforeseen problems that come with the takeover of properties. One of those big issues, at least early on in the changes, was an influx of homeless people as developers bought up old homes and left them vacant while their applications were processed by the city. “There’s the interim between a nice, quiet community with the existing homeowners that have been there for many years before development kicks off,” said Roh. “There’s homes that are not being looked after by anybody. You get guys going in there, vandals just to break glass or people

renters – these guys were just looting the neighbourhood,” said Roh, adding that they’d walk along the fence behind his property and look into his backyard. “I can’t leave anything anywhere on my own property.” He said he would sometimes find other people’s belongings on his property, prompting him and his neighbours to create a network to return stolen merchandise. The renters have since moved out of the area, but even though they were never caught red-handed, Roh said he believes they were responsible for the majority of the break-ins and theft in the area. Roh said there have been positive additions to the area – such as the brand new Sunnyside Elementary school – that have helped the neighbourhood grow into itself, but he’s concerned that further development may put further stress on roads like 156th and cause the issues of suburban homelessness, mischief and property crime to return. “It’s not finished yet.”

Watts calls city’s plan to curb crime ‘relentless’ Tom Zytaruk

Established since 1982

SURREY — Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is promising a “relentless” effort to reduce crime within city limits. “We will not stop until the job is done,” she said, repeating the phrase twice to drive the point home. “We will be relentless and we will not stop, and we will be sending the message, as we have always been, that criminals are not welcome here.” Watts held a press conference, with Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, at city hall Friday to provide an update on a task force she struck last Nov. 18 in response to Surrey setting a new record number of homicide victims. “I want to assure the people of Surrey that continuing to confront and disrupt criminal behavior is my number one priority,” Watts told reporters. “I will continue to reach out and work with anyone in the community who shares this goal. We will take any idea that will work, no matter where it comes from.” Watts rolled out a carpet of new crime-fighting initiatives that includes the development of a new data bank, shared by city hall bylaws, the police and fire department to tackle high-risk areas “before they become a significant problem.” The city will also set up CCTV surveillance cameras on major arterial roads, entering and exiting the city. “We will incorporate the automated licence plate readers that will identify, in real time, stolen vehicles or vehicles used for criminal activity,” Watts said. Additionally, over the next two years, 24 more Mounties will be hired and a 20-member community safety foot patrol will be dedicated to the district police stations. A six-cop bike squad will also be set up, with training to begin Monday, and Watts said she’s also working with the provincial government to have a Crown prosecutor dedicated to dealing with chronic offenders. Asked how much all this will cost, Watts said the city is realigning its resources to find $300,000 within this year’s existing budget. Asked from where exactly the cash will come, she replied,

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy. “We’ll have our general manager of finance, and all the other departments, as well as our city manager, do that assessment.” Taxes will not be raised, she said. Asked how much the program will cost beyond this year, Watts anticipates $600,000 “going into next year.” “Next year we’ll address that within the context of the budget process.” She is also planning to meet with the federal minister of public safety later this month. “I always hope to get cash out of it,” she said. Meanwhile, there will be a meeting next month to flesh out a plan for a community court here in Surrey. Since Watts’s task force on homicides was struck last November, its “high risk location initiative” has seen 175 arrests, 53 criminal charges recommended, more than 340 “high risk” locations investigated and inspected, 15 search warrants executed, eight problem residences demolished or awaiting demolition, 144 unregulated recovery homes inspected, over $90,000 and 14 vehicles seized as crime-related property, and 122 street checks. “We are targeting locations that mirror those where homicides have happened in the past,” said Fordy, officer in charge of the Surrey RCMP. “It is generally these types of locations where those living high-risk lifestyles come together and create an increased risk to public safety and potentially violent crime.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Briefly

Man, 81, killed while jaywalking SURREY — The 81-yearold Surrey man who was struck and killed by a car early Saturday morning on King George Boulevard was only a short way away from a crosswalk, but either didn’t see it or didn’t bother to use it. The victim, whose name has not been released, was trying to walk across the boulevard just after 6 a.m., in front of the Linda Vista Motel, in the 6400block of King George, when a Chrysler Sebring hit him. He died at the scene. The driver stayed on site and Surrey’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team is investigating the crash. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the victim had been wearing dark clothing and was jaywalking. It’s tragic, he said. A crosswalk was less than a minute’s walk away. “Eighty-one years old, it’s not like you can run across four lanes of King George in 10 seconds,” Paquet noted. “The message here is don’t jaywalk.” This was Surrey’s third traffic fatality so far this year, and 2014’s second pedestrian fatality along King George. “I think the majority were last year as well,” Paquet said. Meantime, police are asking witnesses, particularly two cab drivers who were in the area, to call 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Correction An article in Thursday’s paper incorrectly stated that comedian Patton Oswalt stayed at the Best Western King George Inn & Suites during a headlining run in Surrey in the early 1990s, as referenced in Oswalt’s 2011 book Zombie Spaceship Wasteland. The Best Western King George Inn & Suites wasn’t built until 2002. The Now could not determine where Oswalt stayed.

EAST CLAYTON — Parking permits may be issued for various Surrey communities, including Clayton Heights, in an effort to curb pressures on street parking caused by legal and illegal suites. At Surrey’s last transportation meeting, Coun. Barinder Rasode asked staff to look at implementing permit parking in certain areas. The goal is to reserve spots for homeowners so they don’t have to compete with tenants of suites. “We believe homeowners who have a secondary suite should be paying their fair share and contributing not only to the utilities, but in terms of impact that it has on neighbourhoods,” said Rasode. Crystal Litonjua of Clayton Heights has brought up the parking issue numerous times with the city, noting her neighbourhood is a hotbed of illegal suites. She said one of the main reasons

permit parking, she said she’s been let down by the city’s lack of response to her suite complaints. “I’ve heard it all before. I’ll believe it when I see it.” However, Rasode said the city’s bylaws department has been cracking down on illegal suites, and permits would be another method of deterring multiple suites. “Our bylaws department has been very proactive,” she said. “They’ve been going through classified ads and things like Craigslist to see where people are advertising for multiple suites, especially on homes for sale.” She added that the city’s addition of $1,000 for unregistered suites caused a spike in registration from more than 3,000 homeowners. Rasode said she intends to ask city staff for an update on permit parking at the next transportation meeting. “It’s all very preliminary, but it is part of a solution.”

why parking is hard to find is because many homeowners don’t have driveways and don’t park in their garages. “People with multiple suites, they have people in the basement or coach house or wherever,” she said. “So where do they put their junk? It goes in the garage. “We have a two-car garage and three vehicles,” she added. “We use our garage to park two of our cars, so we always need an extra spot. Unless we get here at a certain time of day and don’t move that one car, we have to fight with all the neighbours’ illegal and multiple suites.” Litonjua said parking wasn’t bad when her family moved in seven years ago, but as residents started adding suites in her neighbourhood, the streets became gridlocked. “On the weekends, you can’t park your car to visit somebody, both sides of the street are packed with cars – it’s absolutely ridiculous,” she said.

Mayor addresses issues at Newton safety forum Jacob Zinn

Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn

NEWTON — The City of Surrey is actively taking steps to make Newton safer, according to Mayor Dianne Watts. At the Newton Recreation Centre on Saturday, Watts addressed the concerns of hundreds of area residents at the Newton Community Association’s (NCA) second neighbourhood forum. While politicians were barred from the NCA’s January meeting to make room for concerned citizens, Saturday’s forum gave the mayor, council, local MLAs and MPs the chance to respond to those initial issues. “At the last meeting... we heard very clearly a number of items from the community of what they’d like to see done,” said Watts. “Some of the issues were around lighting, pruning, foot patrols, bike patrols, landscaping, the assistance phone, additional CCTV camera, parking, signage, security guards, community policing office extended hours – all of that’s done, all of that’s implemented.”

The mayor’s address followed her recent announcement of the city’s “relentless” crime-reduction plans (see page 4). Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said the community police office around the corner from the recreation centre has extended its hours to 10 p.m. nightly. TransLink director Barry Forbes added that the transit authority is working to increase security at the Newton Exchange bus loop. See also SOCIALLY SPEAKING › page 9

Watts discussed safety upgrades and expansions to the recreation centre and Newton Athletic Park, development through the Build Surrey program and the city’s teamwork with the province to establish a local community court – all efforts, she said, to solve ongoing problems in the community. “We all have a vested interest (in Newton),” she said. “This meeting really gives us all an opportunity to come together, to share information, to share ideas.”

Green MLA charts own way in leg InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

FOLLOW KEITH ON TWITTER

e doesn’t get a lot of face time in the legislature, but Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver is becoming one of the more intriguing provincial politicians in B.C. and the legislature session that is just under way should have given him a small platform to demonstrate just that. The government and the Official Opposition naturally dominate most of the proceedings. They have the most members, and have a much larger platform to air their views. But in many respects, the actions and words coming from both the government and the Official Opposition are rather predictable. The government oversells its message, and rejects pretty well everything the opposition members have

to say (which is frequently over-the-top rhetoric). Weaver, given his unique status, has an opportunity to be heard above the cliché-ridden yelling match that often passes for debate in the legislature chamber. You can be sure that the B.C. Liberals, still flush with confidence after their unexpected election win, will continue to talk about the potential of an LNG industry and the need for economic growth. The NDP, still bruised from their election loss and unable to create an inspiring leadership race, will paint all B.C. Liberal policies with the same brush: they are bad, mean and hypocritical. Weaver created a bit of a stir in the summer when he actually voted in favour of the budget, because it was balanced (on paper at least). A number of NDP MLAs denounced him for doing so, but his reasoning was a balanced budget is what British Columbians had endorsed in the election campaign and who was he to say no to that? Besides, Weaver argued, what’s wrong with a balanced budget? He seemed genuinely puzzled why the New Democrats

would have such a different view of things. And herein lies the difference between Weaver and the NDP: he doesn’t take positions based almost entirely on whether the governing party likes them or not. This independent streak that “tilts” green can set him apart. The most recent example was Weaver’s public backing of building a refinery to refine bitumen from the Alberta oil sands. In his view, this was a compromise position that addressed environmental concerns about oil flowing from the oil sands and still allowed Canadian energy companies access to new markets. In taking this position, Weaver has separated himself from those who want to simply shut down the oil sands industry, period. He favours “slowing

down” production with new regulations, not stopping it entirely. “I like to think of the Green Party as a sciencebased, evidence-based common-sense party,” Weaver recently told the Prince George Citizen newspaper. “It’s a party that realizes that we need gasoline in our cars but we also need to have a strategy to wean ourselves off that.” Predictably, Weaver has enraged some New Democrats. One NDP MLA, Doug Routley, attacked Weaver on social media, calling him a “hypocrite” for his views (and also falsely saying Weaver supports the Site C dam proposal, which he does not). But Weaver is charting a careful path through some very sensitive territory and he seems to be having a far

easier, and effective, time of it than the NDP and that may explain why he has developed a knack for getting under the skin of the New Democrats. For example, Weaver has spoken in favour of independent power projects, noting their clean energy production and dismissing criticism of them as coming largely from public sector unions (which support, of course, the NDP). As Weaver continues this approach of pragmatic compromise, look for the NDP to become increasingly uncomfortable with the upstart MLA from Oak Bay. Of course, Weaver does run the risk of alienating of hardcore “green” voters. One of his constituents stopped me on the street the other day to express his

anger with Weaver’s support for an oil refinery and his refusal to outright condemn the tar sands, but that’s not the kind of person who got Weaver elected in May. Weaver received more than 10,700 votes in the last election, an increase of more than 8,000 over the Green vote in 2009. Those are folks who likely voted for the B.C. Liberals or the NDP in the past, and I wouldn’t characterize them as environmental protesters. And Weaver seems to know his re-election depends on retaining the support of those disaffected New Democrats and B.C. Liberal voters, and not on appealing to the smaller ranks of the environmental protest movement. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC Keith.Baldrey@globalnews.ca

Cars, not junk, belong in garages The Editor, Re: “Surrey exploring parking permits for areas with suites,” the Now online. I fully support permit parking for East Clayton, though I think it needs to be well thought out to ensure it is implemented correctly. Yes, street parking is supposed to be for all, but it should not be taken up by people who should technically not even be here in the first place. Suite tenants or illegal suite tenants should not take precedence over owners who need the spot for their extra car or a visitor. Suite tenants should be parking on the outdoor spot on the lot of the home they are renting at. If the home does not have an outdoor spot, then technically it should not even be allowed to have a suite, as the bylaw states they need to provide an onsite parking spot. The City of Surrey has a lot of work to do to implement permit parking. But let’s be honest here – it is not only illegal suite tenants or multiple suite tenants who are taking up the street parking. It is also owners who do not have suites and use their garage for storing their junk instead of parking their cars. This is all part of the problem on my street. Clean up the garages, park the cars in them and put the tenants on the outdoor spot. It is time for the city to ensure parking is being used as it is supposed to in this neighbourhood and stop making people such as myself have to deal with their inability to enforce their suite bylaws, multiple suite bylaws and suite parking bylaws. People, think about it – can you imagine what would happen if you cleaned out your garage? You would not have to worry about finding a parking spot when you got home from work! Mind blown. Crystal Litonjua, Surrey

Actual usage should determine suite fees The Editor, I was listening to Coun. Barinder Rasode on talk radio on Feb. 13 as she tried to justify the added secondarysuite fees in Surrey. I am sick and tired of being blamed for the added drain on city services because I have a secondary suite. Including my tenant, there are two residents in my home. Are you trying to tell me that two people are using double the water and sewer and producing double the garbage than the house next door with eight residents and no suite? Why is only a house with a suite being penalized for the extra drain on these services? If the extra drain on services really is your main concern, would it not be more equitable to increase the fees on the households that actually do put a drain on the services and not just the household with a suite? Actual usage should determine the fees charged, whether you have a suite or not. Marlene Chernesky, Surrey

Keep politics out of policing, Watts The Editor, At a recent council meeting, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts announced she’ll be freeing up police resources by reducing the number of RCMP who attend community safety forums, events and crime reduction meetings. People are concerned about this change. It is important for the public to collaborate and have discussions with the RCMP at safety forums, just like the one recently held in Newton. It is also essential that they are at the table helping the city develop new crime reduction strategies. Officers

Users can’t fund transit on their own The Editor, Re: “Users should fund transit,” the Now letters, Feb. 13. It is a pipe dream that the funding of public transport can be completely done by users only. If we, as a community, agree that we need a public system for stable growth of all forms, then we also must agree that all should help pay for it. Yes, riders must pay a certain portion (say 65 per cent or whatever amount is determined as economic to the individuals for the service provided). The balance of the cost for having the system must then be funded as is any other business – advertising, donations, cutting costs, etc. Let’s get on with it and make the necessary decisions or get rid of it completely – imagine the chaos then.

who attend community events build important relationships, which are essential for crime prevention and address safety needs. Also, let’s keep politics out of policing and not have the mayor deciding which events police should attend. I was told that the RCMP was not present at a recent crime prevention forum, hosted by Surrey MLAs, and they therefore missed the opportunity to provide insight during that important dialogue. The mayor has the wrong priorities. Surrey has the money to hire more officers, but Watts has chosen to spend big money on other projects, such as a new city hall. The Surrey RCMP is our community police force. We need them to remain an integral part of our community.

Surrey’s new city hall is now open, as of Monday, Feb. 17. Last Friday, the Now was given a sneak peek inside the front door of the 180,000square-foot building in City Centre.

SURREY — The city celebrated the grand opening of Sunnyside Elementary school Friday, as part of a plan to ease overcrowding in Surrey schools. The $14.9-million project replaced the original school, first Laurae McNally built in 1949. Located seven blocks from its Portables will predecessor, the new Sunnyside adds an extra always be a 180 spaces for students fact of life in a in the South Surrey growing neighbourhood. Although the district, but elementary school we are way, technically opened its doors last September, way behind. Friday was its official grand opening. Those in attendance included education minister Peter Fassbender and Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux. Fassbender and Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne both noted that Surrey was the fastest growing school district in the province. “We have 1,000 people moving to Surrey each and every month,” Hayne said. “Thirty per cent of them are under the age of 18. That’s 300 kids a month who are moving to Surrey, and so it’s important that we continue to invest not only in the infrastructure, but in our teachers and our classrooms and our entire education process.” Sunnyside’s replacement is part of a larger initiative to take pressure off existing schools in the district. The Surrey school district’s $59-million project will create 1,840 new spaces for students by this spring with the construction of three elementary schools and two additions for current secondary schools. Since 2001, 10 new schools have been opened in the district. According to Surrey school board trustee Laurae McNally, it is a step forward, but not a solution. “It’s helping, but we’re still not keeping up with the growth in the area here and we have some really desperate needs, both at the secondary and elementary level,” she said. McNally and the school board trustees are planning to ask the Ministry of Education for help in funding portables used throughout the district. Currently there are about 280 portables used at Surrey schools. It’s estimated they will take $3 to $4 million dollars out of operating costs this year. “Portables will always be a fact of life in a growing district, but we are way, way behind,” McNally said. “We understand money is tight, but when you’re building schools, you’re creating jobs too.”

The event will have several guest speakers, including Veronika Bylicki, who co-created and planned Plan-It Earth, a youth conference on urban sustainability in 2010 and 2011. She’ll talk to students about how to work at the grassroots level in sustainability initiatives. Also making a presentation will be Maureen Jack Lacroix, co-founder of Be the Change Earth Alliance. Members of Delta council will also speak to students. School board chair Laura Dixon said the district has a long tradition of student leadership, including students from every school participating in the Delta Youth Advisory Council. It’s one of the education partner groups the board consults when it comes to major initiatives in the district, she said. “It doesn’t surprise me in the least to see the students taking a leadership role on issues they’re passionate about, the way they want to make a difference in the world, to come forward and really show the power of student voices,” she said.

NORTH DELTA — Students at Seaquam Secondary are holding a district-wide student environmental symposium on how young people can make a difference. The “Igniting a Spark” event – run by students, for students, with a goal to inspire a movement for sustainable change in B.C. – takes place at the North Delta school on Friday, Feb. 21, a professional-development day in the area. It’s all designed to be fast-paced and not just a lengthy, boring lecture, event organizers say. The symposium is aimed at informing, inspiring and showing students what projects they can help initiate, said Grade 12 student Lucia Lin, a co-president of the school’s Operation Green Club. “We thought it would be a really great way to bring together the schools of our district, because from previous surveys we found that student participation for the environment in our district is pretty low compared to Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond,” she said. “We wanted to have a conference where we could bring all these schools together and really inspire passion and enthusiasm for sustainability action.” Lin noted sustainability and leadership can mean a lot of different things, so at the conference they will explore specific examples of projects that can be done, such as starting a YouTube series, filming a documentary or challenging another school to undertake projects for the environment. “There’s activities people really don’t associate with sustainability, that’s what we wanted to present, to get people interested about the environment. The focus is igniting an interest, a curiosity and desire to do something for the environment,” she said. Student co-organizers and environmental club leaders Esther Inlayo and Simran Grewal agreed, saying words such as “environment” and “sustainability” are not

Grandfather’s story aboard ship echoes 100 years later

CLOVERDALE — In a new exhibit, the story of the Komagata Maru is told on a single wall of four screens at Surrey Museum. The Community Treasures section of the Cloverdale facility is home to Echoes of the Komagata Maru: 1914 to 2014. One hundred years ago this spring, the Japanese ship was denied entry into Canada on an immigration technicality. A standoff in Burrard Inlet lasted two months, forcing the majority of its 376 South Asian passengers to live on the ship without adequate food, water and medical attention. Among those aboard the Komagata Maru was Puran Singh Janetpura, the grandfather of Surrey residents Jas and Raj Toor, brothers who attended a media tour of the exhibit Thursday.

Brothers Jas (left) and Raj Toor, whose grandfather was aboard the Komagatu Maru ship when it arrived in Vancouver in 1914, at Surrey Museum’s new Echoes of the Komagata Maru exhibit, created as part of a centennial events this year. (Photo: TOM ZILLICH) Janetpura wanted to come to Canada to further his education, the pair told the Now, but he and the others were turned away because the Komagata Maru was unable meet regulations under Canada’s harsh Continuous Passage Regulation.

Several decades later, in the 1970s, Janetpura was given another opportunity to come to Canada to live with his son and other family members, but refused. “He said he had a painful memory, a very bitter memory of (Canada), and he didn’t

come to live here,” Raj Toor said. “But he knew that other South Asians would be very successful here, and live happily and peacefully.” The Toor brothers are among those interviewed for the exhibit at Surrey Museum, part of a collaborative effort to mark the centennial locally. Partners in “Komagata Maru 100” include Surrey Art Gallery (where the group exhibit Ruptures in Arrival: Art in the Wake of the Komagata Maru will open on April 19), Surrey Libraries, PICS, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Maritime Museum, Museum of Vancouver and Khalsa Diwan Society. Event details are at komagatamaru100.com. Project manager Naveen Girn has spent two years pulling together the stories that echoed from the Komagata Maru “episode,” which unfolded when the ship arrived in Vancouver on May 23, 1914. “We don’t use the word ‘incident,’ we use ‘episode’ to show that the Komagata Maru is one chapter in a longer narrative – that it’s not just about 1914, it’s about 2014, too.” Also new to Surrey Museum is the exhibit Fakes & Forgeries, on loan from the Royal Ontario Museum until May 24. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

Nonagenarian happy to be making Waves Michael Booth

White Rock Waves masters swim club member Elsa de Leeuw was recently honoured for swimming two million metres. (Photo: KEVIN HILL)

Elsa de Leeuw is taking the concept of late bloomer to a whole new level. The spry South Surrey woman did not start swimming competitively until she was in her sixties, but in the last 25 years she has single handedly rewritten the masters swim record books. De Leeuw, 89, currently holds 18 provincial records, 16 Canadian records and 17 FINA (world) top 10 rankings in three different age classes. All this from a woman who just swam for fun as a child in Holland and never thought about racing in a pool until she hit the age most people are planning their retirement. “I started swimming when I was a child,” the modest and charming de Leeuw recalled. “We would swim in the sea in Holland. We didn’t have a pool and I never swam in an indoor pool until I came to Canada. I didn’t start swimming competitively until I was 65. I heard about it at the pool — the B.C. Senior Games — and later I found out about masters swimming.” De Leeuw moved to Canada with her husband, Bill, in 1951 and together they raised a family of four children. She swam recreationally, but never considered it as a sport. Even after she entered in seniors and masters events, she did not pay much attention to her results. De Leeuw was training on her own at the South Surrey Pool and competing with a club in Coquitlam when Carole Gair first met her. Gair told her about the White Rock Wave swim club and asked De Leeuw if she was interested in joining. The Wave club opened a whole new world for de Leeuw. Not only did the club regularly attend meets, but coach Gair kept track of everything the swimmers did in the pool at practises. Since joining the Wave, de Leeuw has received special swim caps commemorating first one million and then two million metres of swimming.

Roughly translated, that equals a distance longer than a drive from Vancouver to Winnipeg. De Leeuw is the oldest swimmer in Canada to hit the two million metres mark. “I had no idea that I had swam that much,” de Leeuw said. “I knew I had passed one million metres years ago, but Bill kept track of that. I haven’t paid much attention to it since he passed away, but Carole was watching. When they gave me the swim cap for swimming two million metres, I was amazed.” The milestone swim caps were just part of her list of achievements. Shortly after she began working with Gair, de Leeuw broke her first age class record. It was the first of many, but de Leeuw recalls being surprised that there were any records to break for masters swimming. “When I broke my first record I didn’t know what to think,” she said. “My husband was elated — he was a great supporter for me. We were both happy, but records don’t really matter to me. I never set any records until Carole started coaching me. Her coaching really helped my freestyle and my other strokes. She taught me about working on timing my strokes and things like that.” For her part, Gair throws any credit for de Leeuw’s success right back at the source. The soon to be nonagenarian attends two club practises every week, plus an extra workout on her own. According to Gair, de Leeuw’s greatest strength is her dedication and desire to keep improving. “She’s easy to work with and she always wants to get better,” Gair said. “When I point something out to her or correct her stroke, she usually gets mad at herself that she’s doing something wrong. She wants to learn and wants to stay on top of it. As she’s gotten older, her legs have gotten weaker and she has to keep on top of her kicks. That’s one thing to watch, but she has a beautiful natural pull and the tempo of her stroke is just wonderful. see SENIOR › page 19

‹ from page 18 “She’s an inspiration to the rest of the team; everybody just loves her.” Despite her success in the pool, de Leeuw does not compete often due in large part to anxiety she experiences in the days leading up to swim meets. Her last meet in the 85-89 age class was in 2010, two years before her husband passed away after 61 years together. Bill’s passing was obviously traumatic for her, but she said one of the things that kept her going was her swimming. Even on days when things seemed especially dark, de Leeuw would make a trip to the pool and usually felt better afterward. At the beginning of February, de Leeuw broke out of her competitive hibernation by joining the Wave for a swim meet in Vancouver. It was her first meet in almost four years and it marked her debut in the 90-94 age class. She celebrated the event by setting new Canadian records for the 50-metre, 100m and 200m freestyle as well as the 50m breaststroke. She admits she was startled to see the crowd and other swimmers standing and clapping at the end of her 200m freestyle race. As usual, de Leeuw took her latest success in stride. “I never thought I would be swimming at 90 — I never thought I would live to be 90,” she said with a laugh. “I never thought about it at. I’m very grateful that I can still do it and that I have a club supporting me. The club is amazing; the people are so good to me. The coaching and the bonding and the caring for each other — everyone is so enthusiastic and we socialize in a healthy way. I’m very grateful.”

To get the most out of every gallon of fuel, keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure level. Fuel up on weekdays when prices are lower, and keep below the speed limit to avoid sending your engine into overdrive. These easy steps will go a long way while out on the road.

4) Know your limits

when packing

Remember to keep it simple. Space is valuable when traveling in close quarters, so pack smart!

5) Enjoy the journey as

much as the destination

Remember that the benefit of traveling in a RV or trailer is the freedom to stop along the way. Map out some fun attractions and make each day a memorable part of your vacation.
