The struggle to house Surrey’s
HOMELESS
SURREY
Guilty plea in murder trial
Widely recognized as an imperfect survey, the latest regional count suggests 403 people are homeless in Surrey – but those on the front lines would tell you the number is more like 2,000. And if you ask the city, it says the numbers have actually gone down proportionally. Regardless of the stats, everyone involved in finding a solution seems to agree on one thing – it’s all about housing.

Three things to check out this weekend
1
Be a tourist in Surrey during Doors Open, a summer-starting event that encourages the public to explore 48 sites around the city – museums, temples, churches, rec centres, universities, the new city hall, police stations and much more. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday (June 21), a free trolley will move in and around City Centre, Bear Creek, Newton (including a community festival there) and Cloverdale. All the details, including trolley stop info and a guide to participating venues, is online at Surrey.ca/doorsopen, or call 604-592-6924. Incentives include a Doors Open photo contest for a chance to win a one-month family pass to any rec facility in Surrey. A bit of history: The inspiration for Surrey’s Doors Open has its origins in France, where the first Doors Open event (La Journee Portes Ouvertes) took place in 1984.
2
North Delta Family Day parade and community festival is set for Sunday, June 22, with the parade starting at 11 a.m. on 112th Street, rolling north from Burnsview Secondary to 84th Avenue and then east to the park there (“lots of floats this year,” organizers promise). North Delta Lions will serve barbecued salmon, chicken and burgers for lunch, and the entertainment stage will run from 1 to 4 p.m.; amusement rides are also part of the fun. Bonus: the outdoor pool will be open that day for a free public swim, from noon to 4 p.m.

Strawberry setback
Surrey farm says city killed its business by rerouting traffic during peak season Amy Reid and Kristi Alexandra
Now staff/Now contributor
I
t’s strawberry season, and operators of Surrey Farms are devastated saying the city is impacting their ability to do business. Owner Mandy Rai is irate with the city after it rerouted traffic due to construction of the 152nd Street Overpass. “It’s peak time for strawberry (season),” Rai noted. “My business it totally dead now. I don’t know what to do.” Rai said when the city began rerouting traffic on Monday, June 9, business dropped off immediately. She said regular access off of 152nd Street isn’t available, and customers are confused. Heading south on 152nd Street, the turnoff onto Link Road, which connects to the farm, happens immediately after driving over the overpass. Likewise when driving north on 152nd Street, farm customers would have to take a right on Link Road immediately before the overpass, but with construction seemingly blocking off the entrance to Link Road, prospective patrons of the farm aren’t sure they can access the spot. As far as Rai knows, she’s the only farmer growing strawberries in the city. “Usually, strawberry (season) is a very, very busy time, I make very good money in the strawberries,” she said. “Now I’m losing.” Rai said she approached the city and it
was decided a traffic control person would be deployed at the site. She claims the traffic control personnel are there sometimes, but not consistently. “City guys give me a very, very hard time. I don’t know where to go. Now, I just sit at home, and for two days, I’ve been very upset,” she said, adding that strawberries are her livelihood. “All year, you’re working hard. Then you’re trying to make money and then something like this happens,” she said. “They never told us before. Then I see the sign, says closing June 9 to 20, then I go to city hall and I talked to city hall, she said they didn’t understand why it would hurt the business.” She would have liked to see the city do the work at nighttime, so as to not impact her business during such a crucial time. Amer Afridi, Surrey’s traffic signals team leader, said there are three signs directing vehicles to the farmers’ market for southbound direction. “Also for the northbound direction, there are three signs installed in advance starting before Serpentine River Bridge for turning at (the) farmers’ market through Link Road,” said Afridi. He said the city considered the option of working at night, but said “the resources are low for night work as the paving contractor is fully booked and it may delay the project as we
would like to complete it fairly quickly.” Afridi said he spoke to the contractor, and they say they have maintained full access to the farm. He said there are traffic control personnel on site, allowing them to go to the farm. As well, Afridi said the city has installed signage, explaining how to access the farm from both directions. “We told them to prioritize it,” Afridi said last week about the project. “By next Thursday (today), the road should be finalized and the link road should be open,” he said, noting that weather could possibly delay the construction. But Rai says that’s too little, too late, seeing as her strawberry season only goes until about the end of June. “My business is totally dead,” she said. areid@thenownewspaper.com kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

Conference focuses on South Asian health, civil society
Dr. Arun Garg
SURREY — International health representatives, medical experts and researchers are gathered in Surrey for the 2014 Canada India Networking Initiative (CINI) conference. The four-day conference starts today (Thursday, June 19) and runs until Sunday at Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel in Surrey. The event is focusing on health and civil society in four key areas, including nursing and allied health education, health-technology and the economy, chronic disease management, including
innovations for sustainable health care, and the role of yoga, science and modern medicine in mental, social and physical wellness. Dr. Arun Garg is chair of CINI 2014 and Canada India Network Society, which organized the conference. “CINI 2014 aims to provide a global platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action to help forge deeper links with civil society, specifically education, justice and health by encouraging greater engagement and identifying growth opportunities
to boost Canada and India’s economies,” said Garg. Representatives from several leading institutes in India will be among those joining in the discussions on practical solutions to improving health in the general population and, in particular, the South Asian population, both in Canada and South Asian countries. New research related to treatment, social and public policy, prevention and innovation will be showcased. Visit Thecins.org for more event details.

SURREY — The issue of domestic abuse awareness was front and centre at Surrey City Hall Tuesday when a “freeze mob” descended on the site in order to promote the cause. As part of Surrey’s 2014 Rakhi Project, event participants all held static poses at the same time in order to gain the surrounding public’s attention. Those taking part in the mob also held signs imploring “love & respect” and urging the public to “take a stand” against domestic abuse. The event kicked off an eight-week campaign planned by the city. In Indian culture, Rakhi is a special celebration of the loving relationship between brothers and sisters, and is signified by tying a rakhi thread or bracelet around the wrist. Bracelets handcrafted by local artist Karen Lipsett-Kidd are available for $5 each, with all proceeds going to the city’s Coalition Against Domestic Abuse. Bracelets will be available from June 17 to August 10 at select Save-on-Foods, Fruticana, the Surrey RCMP, Kwantlen bookstores, KEYS: Housing & Health Solutions and Surrey Women’s Centre. The Now

Building a silent system of support for grief-stricken Katya Slepian
Now contributor Twitter @thenownewspaper
SURREY — Grievers don’t need comfort, they need quiet. Therapist Susan Dahlgren owns a private practice in Surrey and specializes in grief and loss counselling. Dahlgren said a major misconception when dealing with grief is to overload that person with words of false motivation when instead, you should just listen. “People make comments like ‘you’re so strong’, ‘you’re presenting yourself well’ or ‘you seem fine’, so people start to suppress their true feelings for the sake of keeping up this façade of emotional encouragement,” explained Dahlgren. Dahlgren said the majority of the people she sees in her office talk about feeling isolated within their own loss, despite having strong connectors of support from family and friends. “They just need to talk about how they’re feeling or what they’re experiencing, without comment from other people. They don’t need reassurance, they need silence,” Dahlgren said.
It connects back to the workplace where Dahlgren feels that restrictions on interpersonal relationships and communication keep feelings bottled up. “There’s this social norm where people ask you, ‘How are you?’ and people never expect you to answer truthfully. They’re looking for you to respond with ‘I’m fine.’” According to Dahlgren, what people can do if they want to help is to take initiative and offer specific tasks they can do as those dealing with grief often lack the energy to ask themselves or they feel like they’re a burden. “Don’t wait for someone who is grieving to make a plea for help, offer something specific you can follow through with immediately,” Dahlgren suggested. She also advised that if you are offering to help someone who is grieving, to ensure that your task is scheduled and consistent as grievers often feel their lives are in constant disarray. Having a reliable system they can trust will help get their mind on track and put their lives together. Also, Dahlgren said that if you offer support, you need to ensure you can provide it over the long-term.
attention and condolences. But after this grace period is over people often move back to their own lives and their own responsibilities while the grieving period still continues. “People don’t want to feel like their issues or problems have been forgotten.” Dahlgren recalled a similar time in her early 20s when she felt her issues dealing with depression and poor self-esteem were ignored. After talking to her university’s counsellor when she was 22, Dahlgren said that therapy became an “essential part” of her life. “Therapy has shown me how to resolve things well, challenge confusion, challenge acceptance, express emotions, and learn new ways of relating to my family, friends and partners,” she said. Her most important message for those who are grieving is that things will never be normal again — but that’s OK. “A lot of people fear therapy because they feel like if they solve their grief that that means their grief or sadness for their loved ones will be forgotten,” she said. “That’s not true. You can still feel joyful, it’s just going to be a different kind of happiness or joy and you’re allowed to feel that.”
Susan Dahlgren works as a therapist specializing in grief counselling. She explained that the initial two to three weeks of grief are always the most overwhelming as people crowd them with

SURREY — A brand new, eight-storey Critical Care Tower at Surrey Memorial Hospital saw its official opening on Monday afternoon. Around 1 p.m., Health Minister Terry Lake, along with local MLAs and representatives from Fraser Health unveiled the plans and purposes for the tower, which will work in conjunction with the hospital’s new emergency department that opened in October 2013. “Thanks to this new facility, health-care professionals will be able to deliver the best possible care for families in a larger, modern environment with more beds, space, equipment and staff,” said Lake. “The critical care tower will go a long way in meeting the health care needs of the rapidly growing Fraser Valley.” Lake stressed the “unwavering generosity” of donors – including Variety, the Children’s Charity – in making the tower a reality. The critical care tower facilitates the use of 650 beds at Surrey Memorial Hospital, as well as 650 new direct care staff and 300 clinical Join us on Thursday, July 17

support staff. It will also include a new neonatal and pediatric pharmacy, the first of its kind in Canada, as well as an expanded hospital laboratory using new robotics and automated technology. B.C.’s first Ronald McDonald family room, a place where families can relax while their children are in the neighbouring hospital, is also a feature of the tower. “Residents of Surrey and other Fraser Health communities now have an improved health care environment that is truly patient-centred,” said Fraser Health interim president and CEO, Dr. David Ostrow. “Eighty per cent of the tower rooms are single patient for more privacy and better infection prevention and control. Each room includes a family-zone with a sofa bed or recliner so families can stay close to loved ones.” Surrey Memorial’s emergency department saw 117,000 visits in 2013, more than 17 per cent more than 2012. The opening of the critical care centre is expected to help alleviate some of that pressure.

Ride2Survive marks 10 years of fighting cancer Matt Law
Now contributor Twitter @mjlaw_photo
SURREY — In its origins, it was nothing more than a 400-kilometre notch in a belt for a few cyclists. But in 10 years, soon-to-be 4,000 kilometres and countless chafing-induced rashes, the Ride2Survive has become something much bigger. In the month before the first ride was underway in 2004, it became about raising money for cancer research. This decision led to the creation of a 100-per-cent volunteerbased charity ride that has since raised more than $2,500,000. Only half of the 17-rider team finished that first ride, but the cyclists and organizers came away with a realization about what they had created. “We learned about it that night and thought, ‘wow we’ve got something here’. At the time there was no other ultra distance cycling event. And it stayed in B.C.,” said Vicki Kunzli, one of Ride2Survive’s organizers. Now the annual event is a one-day, 400-kilometre cycling fundraiser from Kelowna to Delta. It follows the Coquihalla Highway, a grueling ride for even the most seasoned cyclists. The event has grown to 140 riders, a support crew of 103 and a cause that has become a second full-time, volunteer job for Kunzli and the other organizers. The knowledge that they are making a difference has made all the work worthwhile. “Knowing full well that some of the treatments that we fund, people are still here. They’ve been given three weeks, they’ve gone on a new treatment and five years later they’re still here. It makes a difference,” said Kunzli. There have been moments, too, she said, that make the ride more than about those participating. One year, the group was riding through an area with busy traffic. The police had pulled all the cars over to clear the road. “There were people honking and standing outside of their cars and all of a sudden we saw people holding up their wallets and pictures in their wallets. And that was just a clincher to me going, ‘Oh my gosh these are their people’,” said Kunzli. The riders have also lost many of their own along the way. Their names are permanently printed on the sleeves of the

Ride2Survive jerseys. The Ride2Survive takes place on Saturday (June 21). Riders will leave Kelowna at 3:30 a.m. and hope to arrive at South Shore Cycle on Scott Road in Delta by 10 p.m. This year, those at home can follow the Ride2Survive’s progress in real-time and on social media. “We will have GPS on our front pilot vehicle the whole day so they can watch on our website and we will be
tweeting and facebooking all day,” said Kunzli. While partnered with the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ride2Survive is classified as an independent fundraiser. This means that no administration costs are taken and 100 per cent of donations go to research and prevention.

Undercounted, underserviced HOMELESSNESS: While the city points to latest numbers as a success,
those on front lines say undercounting city’s homeless does nothing but harm STORY BY AMY REID
The 2014 Metro Vancouver Homeless Count suggest 403 homeless people were found in Surrey, compared to 400 in 2011 and 402 in 2008. (Photo: KEVIN HILL)
W
hile there’s no way to know for sure how many homeless people live on the streets of Surrey, a regional homeless count is done every three years, but it is widely recognized as an undercount. Preliminary numbers from the 2014 Metro Vancouver Homeless Count were released in May and 403 homeless people were found living in Surrey, compared to 400 in 2011, 402 in 2008
and 392 in 2005. Jonquil Hallgate of the Surrey Urban Mission said it’s no secret just how much of an undercount the regional tally is. The mission usually sees 200 people for meal service. On the day of the count, only 70 showed up, Hallgate said, and she suspects it’s because people don’t want to take part in the survey. “The reality is that we know that there’s probably, at any given time,
about 2,000 people who are unhoused in Surrey,” Hallgate said. Out of the city’s seven town centres, not a single homeless person was identified in the 2014 count in Fleetwood, Guildford, Cloverdale or Newton, she noted. Though volunteers found evidence of peoples’ belongings in forested areas, many were choosing not to be counted. If people don’t admit they’re homeless, they’re simply not counted as part of this survey, she explained.
“Who would think, given what’s happened in the last four or five months in Newton, that you wouldn’t find one homeless person to count? Where did people go and why are they choosing to abstain from having a voice?” she asked. While this type of survey may work in Vancouver in a concentrated area like the Downtown Eastside, Hallgate doesn’t believe it works in Surrey or most other municipalities in the region.

Have an issue or person you want us to focus on? Email ‘Now’ editor Beau Simpson at edit@thenownewspaper.com In the Downtown Eastside people are used to having to identify themselves as being homeless in order to access services but in Surrey, it’s a different culture, she said. “We need to look at the fact that in our community a 24-hour snapshot doesn’t work because of the geography and the size,” Hallgate said. “That’s the reality. We want to have information that’s more accurate and reflects what the actual picture is.” Hallgate’s main concern with an undercount is that municipal governments tend to look at lower numbers and see it as a success, but then have a harder time making a case for – and accessing dollars for – future projects. “(The city has) moved forward and identified things, but in order to create the housing you have to have money. As willing as the city is and proactive they are… we don’t have funding coming from Ottawa.” While Hallgate said BC Housing is doing its best, the city simply doesn’t have enough dollars. “The fact that they care, they get points, because they’ve made it a priority. But we need to look at the dollars that are there and maybe deploy them a bit more creatively,” she added.
‘IT COMES DOWN TO HOUSING’
Megan Baillie, acting executive director for Keys: Housing and Health Solutions, which operates the Gateway Shelter in Whalley, believes affordable housing is what’s truly needed to get people off the streets. “In Surrey, we’re lacking shelter beds, but more than that, it actually comes down to housing,” Baillie said. “We lack affordable housing here in Surrey. We feel that by the pressure of the number of people who are trying to access the shelters.” The Gateway Shelter typically hits its 40-bed capacity every night, she said. Those who don’t fit can stay in the Front Room area, the drop-in centre that’s open 24/7. Asked if she thinks homeless numbers have gone up or down in recent years, Baillie said it’s hard to tell. “Every year we house hundreds of people,” Baillie said of her organization. “So if we’re housing hundreds of people and there’s still 400 on the street, and those numbers have not gone down from the count prior, then that would leave me to believe the numbers are then increasing. However, it’s hard to tell. Because of the cyclical nature of homelessness and the transientness of the population, it can be quite challenging to know how many people are living on the streets.”
‘PROUD’ OF CITY’S STRATEGY
Although homeless numbers have gone up in Surrey, the numbers have actually gone down in proportion to population, said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the social planning advisory committee and

W
hile those living on the streets have to bear low, life-threatening temperatures in winter months, the summer is not without its challenges. “Some of the less apparent concerns that our clients face would be things like access to water, sunscreen and places where they can go and get in the shade, and out of the sun,” said Megan Baillie, acting executive director for Keys: Housing and Health Solutions.
president of Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society. “As much as I don’t like to see any homeless numbers…I’m really happy to see that it hasn’t grown in proportion to the population growth. I think that we are moving in the right direction.” Villeneuve said since 2005, Surrey has taken in 80,000 people. In that time, the homeless count has gone up by 11. “I’m really proud we’re staying ahead, considering that growth,” she said. As well, Villeneuve pointed out that Surrey had the largest unsheltered homeless population in the region in the 2011 count – 230 of the 400 counted – but this time around more of the population was found to be sheltered. In this year’s count, 140 of the 403 homeless counted in Surrey were unsheltered, which Villeneuve is proud to see. In contrast, 538 of the 1,798 homeless counted in Vancouver were unsheltered. Villeneuve thinks more people were found sheltered in Surrey this time around because of the city’s focus on building housing. “We haven’t been building shelters,
Baillie said heat stroke and heat exhaustion are a concern during scorching summers and this year is expected to be a hot one. “We always work with street nurses, for example, and our outreach teams will pack backpacks filled with sunscreen and bottles of water and take it out on the street and try to reach out to people who might not be interested in coming into the shelter.” Amy Reid
we’ve been building housing,” Villeneuve said. “We really want to stop the revolving door of temporary shelters or existing on the streets.” Villeneuve said the city’s Master Plan for Housing the Homeless in Surrey, adopted in 2013, calls for an additional 450 units of transitional and supported housing. “I believe in partnership with BC Housing and others, we’ll be able to achieve that,” she said, adding that the city is well on its way to hitting the target. Since 2006, 156 units have been created in Surrey, Villeneuve said, at a variety of facilities including the YWCA Alder Gardens project for single women and dependent children, Quibble Creek Health and Phoenix Transition Housing Centre. As well, as an immediate priority for action, the housing plan identifies the need to replace the Gateway emergency shelter with a new facility. The City of Surrey is partnering with BC Housing to create the purpose-built homeless shelter and transition housing facility. The city will provide the land and BC Housing will fund and operate
Doug, a homeless man living in Surrey, goes through his overdose prevention kit. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) the centre, Villeneuve said. The location of the facility, near Surrey Memorial Hospital, was up for public hearing on Monday, June 9 and was met with some opposition. “It was sort of divided between some that supported the location and some that weren’t,” Villeneuve said of the meeting. “That happens with all kinds of applications that are dealing with transitional housing and supportive housing. So that’s not unusual and I think that there were concerns that were expressed from the neighbourhood and concerns from some of the business community.” At the meeting, Villeneuve said council referred the matter back to staff for two weeks to allow council members to take a tour of other purpose-built supportive housing projects – one in Vancouver and one in New Westminster. As well, council will consider other locations for the project. “The city has put a timeline on that decision because BC Housing realizes this is our number one priority in the next step of providing proper facilities for people that need support. They do need to have the land rezoned before they’ll release funds for the design and move forward,” Villeneuve said. Villeneuve hopes it will have 80 to 100 units, allowing the city to inch even closer to its goal of 450. And while the veteran councillor has worked to combat homelessness over her entire political career, she feels the last nine years since Mayor Dianne Watts took over have been the “most productive time I’ve ever served on council.” “I’m feeling very enthused about that.” areid@thenownewspaper.com

Our view
Pipe schemes cross unsteady ground
U
nless the folks at Enbridge change their tactics, they might as well start looking for somewhere else to stick their pipe. First and foremost, they need to convince B.C.’s First Nations and their supporters from a full cross-section of B.C. residents that the Gateway Pipeline can be built and operated safely and with significant benefits for the people whose lands they must cross. So far, they’ve done a lousy job of that. They need to offer realistic assurances that B.C.’s environment won’t be trampled – and clear indications that they will be ready to quickly and efficiently stem and clean up the spills that will inevitably occur. Instead, they only added $500-million to their clean-up readiness budget – in response to public outrage over the now-infamous three-millionlitre Kalamazoo River spill in Michigan. Even the corporate structure
set up to create the pipeline seems suspect: organized so that, in the event of a truly
massive (and expensive) spill, the pipeline company could declare bankruptcy, allowing Enbridge
itself to walk away and cut its losses. And no one has seriously done
anything to allay fears arising from tanker traffic traversing some of the most dangerous coastal waters in the world. Enbridge’s selling strategy so far has seemed a total reliance on its confederates in the federal government to push the project through, regardless of risks or widespread popular opposition throughout B.C. Only facets of the business community have suggested that the rationale for the pipeline – the economic efficacy of expanding Canada’s raw oil markets beyond the United States – outweigh the risks. This week’s fully anticipated announcement by the Harper government was surprising only in that it wasn’t as ringing an endorsement of the project as Enbridge must have been hoping it would be. The response from the opposition has been swift and sure: they will fight it with every resource available. Glacier Media
Your view
We demand a say in the future of our neighbourhood The Editor, Re: “Growing pains in Grandview,” the Now, June 17. Kudos to the Now and Amy Reid for an excellent series of articles about Surrey neighbourhoods, particularly the latest on Grandview Heights where I live. As the article pointed out, Grandview Heights residents are deeply concerned about an urban subdivision currently proposed for our quiet suburban area. Surrey’s community planning
manager Don Luymes gets it right when he says we are asking: “What will the impact of new urban development be on my property and my quality of life?” Development seems to be out of control in Surrey, and the result is loss of trees and green space, urban sprawl and the potential destruction of suburban neighbourhoods. Judging by other statements made by Luymes, it would appear that the city still plans to ram
this high-density development down our throats despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of our neighbours are against this proposal, which seems to violate Surrey’s most important development policies. There’s no reason these six developers shouldn’t have the same options available to the rest of us – stay in their homes, rebuild, or sell at market price. If the city’s mysterious plan to offer us some assurances that
the rest of our neighbourhood won’t be similarly divvied up by developers consists of nothing more substantial than the usual promises and toothless policies, well, we already know what they’re worth. No “little infill plan” will accomplish this, and I would urge the city to consult with our entire neighbourhood in a meaningful way about these issues before taking any action. We want some say in what happens to our area, and we want council to respect the
city’s development policies. For those of your Surrey readers who think this kind of piecemeal over-development can’t happen to their neighbourhood, think again. If you don’t take an active role in monitoring and shaping development proposals near you, the next thing you’ll probably hear is the sound of chainsaws clear-cutting trees and excavators digging foundations.

DEBATE Column
Rasode’s hub idea has big potential ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth
L
abelling something as “a hub” implies that it is central to surrounding activity. Hubcaps cover the centre of a wheel; airlines centralize their operations around hub cities; a USB hub allows multiple devices to be plugged into a single port; and a transportation hub allows passengers to connect to assorted means of transit. Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode clearly had this definition is mind when she opted to name her latest enterprise a “community hub.” In this case, the hub is a rented space in a strip mall at the junction of Highway 10 and 152nd Street (#103-15385 Highway 10), a location Rasode proudly notes is roughly 15 minutes from every neighbourhood in the city. As far as hubs go, it is definitely centrally located. It is an unassuming space with green and blue balloons in the doorway to greet visitors and announce that something is happening within. The community hub contains several couches set to one side as well as desks in a work area lined with artwork. It is equipped with WiFi, allowing people who drop by to access the internet and work remotely. According to Rasode, the purpose of this particular hub is to draw people from different parts of the city together. Her goal is to create a gathering space where people can discuss issues, stage events, hold public
forums and simply have a cup of coffee and connect with other Surrey residents. Rasode’s community hub is an interesting idea. By taking a city councillor out of city hall and into a neutral pseudo-office space, she is making the political process more approachable. For all its esthetic charms, the new Surrey city hall remains a cold glass, concrete and steel structure that is intimidating and somewhat unwelcoming to visitors. You have to pay to park there and as soon as you are finished with your business, you want to flee the premises as quickly as possible. Lingering just costs more money. Contrast that sterile and intimidating environment with Rasode’s comfy couches and it’s easy to see why people would be more relaxed and comfortable in her community hub. Of course, Rasode’s space has not been created for purely altruistic purposes. Although she has split from her former colleagues in the Surrey First civic party, she intends to run again in November’s civic election. Whether it’s for a third term as a councillor or a run for the mayor’s chair remains to be determined. What is also undetermined is Rasode’s electoral platform and that’s where the community hub comes in. Rasode wants to hear from Surrey residents to collect their opinions and ideas of what issues are important to them. The feedback she receives from the people who drop by her community hub will help frame her electoral platform in the November election. Rasode tries to be at the space daily and every Wednesday evening specific issues are addressed complete with guest speakers on the issue (visit the “Surrey Community
Hub” Facebook page for details). If you want a politician to hear what bothers you, this is your chance. No unanswered phone messages filtered through a receptionist, no brief words passed on to a councillor in a meet-andgreet, no impersonal generic responses mailed out weeks later. The community hub offers one-on-one discussion with other members of the community including an elected official. And while Rasode will operate her community hub throughout the summer, she has big plans for the idea. Voters willing, she would like to see other community hubs created throughout the city to provide valuable feedback for Surrey civic leaders. It won’t take much – just a WiFi device and a couple of couches and desks and your neighbourhood hub is in business. And with all of the community halls scattered across the city, these forums could be staged monthly with councillors spreading out to hear the concerns of residents. Of course, Rasode’s community hub idea will only work if the politicians are willing to actually listen. We know Rasode will, that’s the mandate she had in mind when she opened the space for the summer. But for a citywide network of these spaces to work, you need similarly motivated politicians willing to donate their time to drop by these hubs on a regular basis. Councillors are busy enough with their careers and their civic duties that such a request might not be well received. Unless it’s an election year… Michael Booth can be reached via email at mbooth@thenownewspaper.com

Letters
Cross-border shoppers hurt us all The Editor, Re: “After a bad month, young couple restored my faith,” the Now letters. Carole Martin’s letter about the kind couple in the U.S. epitomizes the selfish attitude a lot of us Canadians have. She talks about her eye surgery which, I’m sure, was done in Canada using my tax dollars. She then goes on to say that she “dashed across the border to Cost Cutter for gas and a few groceries.” What about supporting her own local economy and the individuals and businesses that helped pay for her “free” eye surgery? If all the people like Carole shopped in Canada, I’m pretty sure my overall costs for everything (including gas and groceries) would go down. Shame on all you consistent cross-border shoppers. Joan Anderson, Surrey
Treat all cultural events equally The Editor, We attended the Surrey Greek Food Festival and parking was at a premium. I parked on 132nd Street, only to hear festival organizers announce repeatedly that the City of Surrey was issuing parking tickets and that attendees should move their cars to avoid fines. I could not believe this, as the city closes many streets for the Vaisakhi celebrations. Why would they not treat these multi-cultural events similarly? Annie Kaps, Surrey

SEND YOUR ROSES WITH LAYAR huge roses and a big thank you to the volunteers at Fraser Skies rally in The valley. They made around 1,500 Girl Guide youth very happy. The girls had a fantastic day and are looking forward to the event next year. a rose for everyone in the ladner fire department, paramedics, police, delta Hospital emergency and delta hospice for honouring my father in-law’s and his family’s wishes before the proper paper work could be done. You let him go with his wishes and dignity intact, we will be forever grateful. a mini-forest of blue roses to the folks behind “The Grove” cultural project in the trees beside newton exchange. The sky-blue Adirondack chairs are a fantastic idea and are being used regularly by many. So far i’ve seen old men in turbans, teenagers, bus drivers and women with shopping bags and energetic children enjoying a relaxing break. Keep up the good work! Roses to all the grandparents out there who are stepping up to help stressed out families this week after greedy teachers let us all down. Too bad grandparents don’t have the sweet massage benefits package the teachers are fighting for. oh, wait. it’s all about the kids, right teachers? Give us a break. Roses to downtown Surrey biA for putting on Surrey Fest downtown on Saturday. even though the weather didn’t co-operate, it was still great to see so many smiling, friendly faces in our city core! Thanks! Roses to Gator’s Gym G.U.T.S. program and its excellent trainers like Sergio and patty for whipping my butt into shape and Roses to the government for not caving into the bCTF’s ridiculous demands. let them strike into next year – with no pay.
SEND YOUR TOMATOES WITH LAYAR Rotten tomatoes to all the mayors who want to put more tolls and taxes on everything. We are taxed to death already – and what about people who don’t even use those bridges or SkyTrain? What they should do is put out a lottery for these things, like the hospitals do – and lower the toll to $1 per crossing and get the federal government to put up some money to pay for these bridges. Rotten tomatoes to the woman who got mad at my 10-month-old son ( who was born four months early and survived numerous surgeries and was near death at birth) and i because he was crying while we passed Green Timbers forest and he disturbed your dog. Shame on you. Great heaping baskets of rancid e. coli hamburgers to the subhuman idiots caught on video clubbing cows with sticks, and using heavy machinery to lift up cows by their heads, at a farm in Chilliwack. The love of decency does not abide in you. Rotten tomatoes to the mother at Surrey Central Station who was smoking beside her daughter, who was in a stroller. Kids should not be exposed to second-hand smoke, especially not from their parents. Rotten tomatoes of the rudest kind to all employees at the produce stores who constantly yap to each other in some foreign language. if you live in b.C. and have english-speaking customers, you had better learn to speak english when we’re in your store. it is impolite and disrespectful to ignore the fact that we speak english here and so should you! Rotten tomatoes to the cook in the Chinese smorgasbord in White rock who came out and screamed at me because i peeled the batter off the shrimp and didn’t eat it. it’s not like i was only eating shrimp or even eating all the shrimp – and it was an all you can eat.

Woman pleads guilty to stabbing friend 41 times Tom Zytaruk
Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk
NEW WESTMINSTER — Jessica Ashley Hanley, 25, has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2012 stabbing death of her best friend Tashina Rae Sutherland. Jessica Ashley Hanley, now 25, killed Tashina Rae Sutherland, 22, inside a small rancher at 10593 138th St. in Whalley, on April 26, 2012. Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey was expected to render her decision on Wednesday morning. See the Now’s website for her sentencing decision. Hanley pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter on Monday, at the beginning of the third week of her seconddegree murder trial in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. The Crown and defence submitted a joint submission for a 10-year sentence. Minus time served, the sentence would be seven years and nine months. Hanley faced the victim’s family in court Tuesday. “I want to say I’m sorry for all the pain and confusion that I’ve caused,” she told them. Earlier in the trial, the court heard testimony that Hanley and Sutherland had been partying the night before her death, drinking. Hanley’s boyfriend testified he’d bought a half-gram of cocaine and gave
it to Sutherland. Outside court, though, Sutherland’s kin insisted she would not have involved herself in such things. Hanley’s boyfriend had also earlier testified Sutherland was “very happy, bubbly,” and had “a lust for life.” During Hanley’s interview with police at the Surrey RCMP detachment, however, the accused murderer suggested the stabbing was an assisted suicide. “She wanted me to kill her and then kill myself, and I was like, no way,” Hanley said. “I hugged her and I said no, I’m not going to do it,” she said, adding that Sutherland “got upset” at her because “I wimped out.” The interviewing police officer asked Hanley about a text message she’d sent seeking advice on what chemicals to use to get blood out of a wooden floor. He noted she had also texted a friend of her boyfriend’s with the message, “I just killed her. I just said goodbye to my sis.” Hanley told the officer, “I just stabbed her with the big knife. I don’t know why.” Crown prosecutor Jennifer Lopes said Tuesday that if Sutherland actually wanted to die, as Hanley claimed, Hanley’s appropriate course of action would have been to call 911 to get help for her vulnerable friend, rather than stabbing her. Crown prosecutor Angela Lee presented seven victim impact statements Tuesday, on behalf of Sutherland’s family. “I have nothing but a broken heart to

replace her,” said her cousin, Darian Acoose. “She was a good woman with a heart of gold... our family will always be torn apart.” Shelley Pelletier, Sutherland’s great aunt, wrote that she can still hear Sutherland’s loud laugh. “My heart smashed into a million pieces,” she told the court. Roger Sterling, her grandfather, says he doesn’t trust people now. “This death has made me ill,” he said. “She was a bright star, getting ever brighter... my life is empty.” Her brother, Travis Sutherland, is devastated. “Tashina had so much to live for,” he said. “I think about my sister every minute, every day.” Her younger sister, Nicole Sutherland, said she cries every day for her. “It cuts me deep she was taken from us,” she said. “My sister was smart, beautiful, and was always there for me.” As for Hanley, she said, “I will never forgive her.” Melissa Sutherland, the victim’s mom,
said the fact she’ll never again hear her daughter’s laugh or feel her hugs gives her “devastating pain.” And Sutherland’s stepfather, Conrad Gordon, echoed that. “The loss I suffer here is monumental. I’ve lost my little girl.” Hanley’s lawyer, Jordan Watt, called it “a very tragic case” involving a “horrible tragic offence.” His client’s life has been tragic, too, he said, but added that by no means excuses her crime but “merely puts forward an explanation why.” A high school drop out at Grade 9, Hanley had a “chaotic” upbringing that saw her taken from her mother at six days old. Having no contact with her mom, and never meeting her dad, she was raised by her stepdad. After running away, and a suicide attempt, Watt said, “she became a permanent ward of the state.” Hanley began taking hard drugs like methamphetamine when she was 14 and went through a “revolving door” of group homes and foster families. “She was involved in prostitution,” Watt said. At age 19 she had a son, who lives with her stepdad. As for her mental health, he added, she has “characteristics of borderline personality disorder. “Miss Hanley is very remorseful for what she has done and this is something she is going to have to live with for the rest of her life,” Watt said. This remorse is genuine.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Boater’s family appeals to public for help finding him NORTH DELTA — The family of a Surrey man who fell overboard on the Fraser River on June 7 hopes someone will help them find him. Amit Naress, 36, was trying to free the boat from pilings and barges near the Alex Fraser Bridge when he fell into the river. The Coast Guard searched for him until nightfall and then resumed
Amit Naress
the search with a hovercraft and helicopter the next morning. Delta Police Sgt. Sarah Swallow said police found the pleasure craft near the bridge, with another man on board. “The man told police that his friend had fallen overboard while trying to free the boat from Fraser River mooring pilings after they had
run out of fuel and drifted into the pilings and barges,” Swallow said. On June 11, the RCMP Air One helicopter did another shoreline search with no luck.

KPU failed to meet disclosure requirements: review Christopher Poon
Now Staff Twitter @Questionchris
SURREY — Kwantlen Polytechnic University failed to meet the province’s disclosure statements when it came to reporting the compensation for a past vice president and current president Alan Davis. The finding was reached in a review released Tuesday by the province’s Ministry of Finance. The review was ordered after allegations were made earlier this year that current Advanced Education Minister and Surrey-Tynehead MLA
Amrik Virk was involved in a plan to pay $100,000 to Davis out of a foundation fund that normally goes towards bursaries and grants during his time on KPU’s Board of Governors. According to the review, the $100,000 in question would have come from the Kwantlen Foundation and was being considered as “supplementary compensation” for Davis during the time when KPU was seeking to bring him on as president. In the report, Virk was noted to have been involved in the discussions but later withdrew the motion after being told
The City of Surrey is calling for nominations for the 2014 City Awards Program. This family of six awards celebrates excellence in urban design, clean energy, community spirit, civic beautification, environmental stewardship and heritage.

that the province would react “extremely negative” to the idea. “Our advice at present is to hold off as the risk factors are very high. Stay tuned and hold off on the motion and conference call please,” he said in an email dated Nov. 7, 2011. Also contained in the review were findings that both Davis and KPU’s former vice president and provost Anne Lavack received $50,000 each for pre-employment work that was deemed by the auditor as “vague on deliverables.” In Lavack’s case, the numbers, when tallied, put her over KPU’s allowed compensation. Moving allowances were also Amrik Virk provided for both. Lavack was only at Kwantlen for one year, from 2011 to 2012. Davis joined KPU in 2012 and remains as its president. The review concluded by making several recommendations to changing the public compensation reporting guidelines. Those recommendations include making moving allowances part of employment contracts and ensuring full disclosure of any and all pre- or postemployment payments. As well, “Public Sector Employer’s Council compensation reporting guidelines should be rewritten to emphasize that transparency is the overarching intent of the guidelines.” According to a release sent out by Finance Minister Mike De Jong, those recommendations have been adopted and will be implemented for the 2013/2014 annual executive compensation disclosure. Shane King, current chair of KPU’s Board of Governors said the board accepts the review’s findings and that it is the board’s intention to rectify the university’s processes and procedures. To do this, KPU will be bringing on business and accountant consultants MNP LLP as an independent internal auditor to improve the university’s practice in whatever way they can. King also added, “I want to ensure this matter does not reflect negatively on Dr. Davis, who simply accepted the university’s employment offer and pre-employment contract. We are eager to move forward under his leadership.” When reached for comment, Virk said in a statement, “As a volunteer member of the board in 2011, I take responsibility for the issues surrounding the president’s compensation. The legislation and its intent must be followed. I appreciate the importance and value of transparency and disclosure. Along with all members of this government, I will work to ensure the postsecondary sector embraces and implements both the review recommendations and the taxpayer accountability principles Premier Clark announced on June 11.” However, B.C. NDP Advanced Education Critic David Eby said Virk needs to do more and wondered why he’s still in his role as minister. “The B.C. Liberal Minister of Advanced Education needs to lead by example. Instead it was found that he was part of a scheme to deliberately circumvent the rules to give sweetheart deals to executives at Kwantlen University and then he lied to the public and the legislature about his knowledge of it,” said Eby. “It is an indictment of the premier’s judgment that she feels he remains an appropriate person to be in her Cabinet, responsible for a billion-dollar portfolio. We are encouraging the auditor general to pick up where this internal government investigation left off, as we understand the investigator had identified additional problems not in the scope of his terms of reference.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

to take a run at the provincial level. McDonald, Krista Engelland and Heather King have all vacated their council seats over the years to run for the mayor’s job. King, who lost to Jackson three years ago and is now completing her university studies, will only say said she’s considering running for council again. Only two sitting councillors during Jackson’s lengthy tenure – Anne Peterson and Ann Claggett – have lost their seats in an election, showing how incumbents have the upper hand and how tough it is for newcomers to get elected. It could be more of the same this November if Jackson runs again, but if she decides to retire it could be a whole new ball game. “It’s a long time until November. I’ve got so much that I’m doing right now, there’s a lot of things in the fire, and I’d like to get some of this stuff done. Then I’ll put my mind to that,” she recently told the Optimist. If Jackson decides to retire, the mayoralty race becomes wide open, likely attracting at least one council incumbent and possibly others. Would King decide to run for the job again? Would someone on council,
Heather King
Sylvia Bishop
like Paton perhaps, take a crack at it? Should one or more sitting councillors seek the mayor’s spot, it would leave other seats vacant. The uncertainty with Jackson’s future creates other speculation, including whether Campbell, first elected in 1999 and a part of her slate ever since, would also retire if the mayor hung up her gavel. That would result in another seat being available. After 15 years of relatively little change, a major overhaul could be on the horizon, but it all depends on Jackson’s decision. Should she decide to run again, she stands a good chance of being re-elected given there’s no natural challenger and her history of strong voter support, particularly in North Delta. That doesn’t completely close the door on more than one outsider cracking the council lineup, though, if all the incumbents, other than Hamilton, run gain. As far as some of the potential newcomers, former school board chair Kelly Guichon could be an interesting “big name” in the mix. Guichon said she has nothing to announce one way or the other at this time. The election is set for Nov. 15. sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

DELTA — With the next municipal election five months away, one of two scenarios is likely to unfold, both of which hinge on the pending decision by Lois Jackson. Should Jackson seek a sixth term in the mayor’s chair, we could once again see a host of familiar faces on Delta council, but if the veteran civic politician decides to call it a career after more than four decades, there’s a chance for sweeping change. So far, the only certainty is that a newcomer will claim the seat that will finally be vacated by Scott Hamilton, who became the Liberal MLA for Delta North in last year’s provincial election but has remained on council in a parttime capacity. As for the other six members, only two, Bruce McDonald and Ian Paton, have confirmed they will run again this fall, when council terms become four years in length. Jeannie Kanakos, Robert Campbell, Sylvia Bishop and Jackson all say it’s too early to declare their intentions. Since Jackson became mayor in 1999, the last time there was sweeping change at the council table, the turnover has been relatively low. While she has been at the helm, Vicki Huntington, Guy Gentner and Hamilton have moved on to provincial politics, while Kanakos left for a term

Surrey judge gives Utah child molester 3 1/2 years Tom Zytaruk
Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk
SURREY — A Surrey provincial court judge has sentenced a child molester to a stiffer prison sentence than what the lawyers on both sides argued for. The Crown and defence sought a two-year prison sentence and three years probation for the Utah man, who sexually abused a 12-year-old Surrey girl.
But Judge Robert Hamilton on Tuesday sentenced Kevin Douglas Knowlton, 33, a computer software engineer from Salt Lake City, to three and a half years in jail. With credit for time served, his sentence is actually three years, after which he’ll be immediately deported back to the U.S. There is a publication ban on naming, or publishing any information that would identify the girl. Hamilton noted that the victim, once an
“He must understand why it is wrong.” Knowlton met the girl through a computer game called High School Hero. He made five trips to Surrey, staying at a hotel on King George Boulevard where they had multiple sexual encounters. The court heard Knowlton proposed to the girl. He pleaded guilty to luring, sexual interference and making child pornography.
honour roll student, now cuts herself with shards of glass. “She is in desperate need of counselling,” he said. The judge found Knowlton to be without remorse and possesses little insight into his crimes. “He certainly is not cutting himself with shards of glass like (the girl),” Hamilton said. He said Knowlton needs time to reflect on his conduct.

City’s fifth homicide of 2014 a mystery to police Tom Zytaruk
Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk
SURREY — Police are investigating Surrey’s fifth homicide of the year but so far have revealed very little information. Late Monday afternoon, Surrey Mounties located a man injured in the 13200-block of 108th Avenue in Whalley. “The victim was found in a public area, in front of one of the buildings near the roadway,” said Sgt, Bari Emam, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. IHIT took conduct of the case after the man died. “We are attempting to ascertain the circumstances which led to this person’s death,” Sgt. Bari Emam said. “At this time very little is known to us.” As of Tuesday, police had not yet released
the victim’s name. “We are still in the process of completing the notification of next of kin, so the name will likely not be released for another day,” Emam said Tuesday. Meantime, police are still searching for Barry McQuarrie in connection with Surrey’s third homicide of this year. Quesnelle, 32, was shot dead inside a townhouse at Rodeo Park Place in Cloverdale on May 12. McQuarrie, 33, has not been charged in the killing but police want to speak with him. “If located, please do not approach him as he is considered armed and dangerous,” said Cpl. Adam MacIntosh, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. In an unrelated case, Milton ReyesMoraga, 39, was stabbed to death inside a

BROOKSWOOD — A fibreglass horse statue is now in storage after being vandalized at the Brookswood Water Park for the second time in nearly a year. The sculpture “Tattoo”, designed by artist Marilyn Dyer, was supposed to be back on permanent display at the Brookswood water park at 200th Street and 40th Avenue. Instead, the $10,000 piece of art has been put away for safekeeping by the Township of Langley, after one or more vandals smashed some of its legs and hooves either Friday night or early Saturday morning. The painted horse’s return to the park was very short-lived. “The two words are disgusting and disappointed,” said an emotional Diane Gendron, president of the Langley Arts Council. In 2013, vandals sliced the horse’s head and hooves off and left it on the ground. “The hope was the people who were involved the last time perhaps
had grown up, perhaps had left the neighbourhood, perhaps had matured a little bit,” Gendron said. The Brookswood Merchants Association has kept the sculpture since last July before it was returned to the park a second time. The sculpture was glued back together. “The idea of putting it [back on display] with its wounds still showing was that, it becomes socially engaged art,” Gendron said. “It was still beautiful, and still you could see all of Marilyn’s designs. The wounds that were left on it, were where the cuts had been.” Dyer, who originally spent 300 hours creating the sculpture, believes the initial
incident was premeditated. “They had to be pretty strong,” she said. “They used a chainsaw. You’d have to lift the chainsaw, you’d have to cut through, and it was clean cut.” On Saturday, it was found leaning on its side, marked by a graffiti tag. Said Dyer: “The administration who puts that effort out to do that [place the horse in the park] for the community, and when they get it right, and then someone who doesn’t want to be creative and thoughtful comes and just wipes out a dream.” Tips to help solve the crime can be made via CrimeStoppers, 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Girl, 5, nearly drowns at pool party DELTA — A Father’s Day pool party turned into a near nightmare for one family after a five-year-old girl almost drowned. It happened at about 3:20 p.m. Sunday at a home on Kuma Cresecent in Tsawwassen. Delta police spokesperson Sgt. Sarah Swallow said the Surrey family was at the home for a Father’s Day celebration. She said the girl had been in the pool under adult supervision earlier but then either jumped or fell into the pool. She was in the water for less than a minute, Swallow said, when she was discovered unconscious. The girl was pulled from the pool and given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which she responded to almost immediately,
Swallow said, adding that the child was conscious, breathing and talking when emergency crews arrived. She was air lifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital as a precaution, but was released later Sunday night. With the warmer weather upon us, police are warning parents to be vigilant when children are playing in or near any source of water. “It literally just takes seconds... for the situation to change,” Swallow said. Police recommend having children wear a lifejacket, rather than inflatable water wings, which are more easily removed.

‘Brand New Day’ for Surrey-bound Swollen Members Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
Prevail, a member of pioneering Canadian hip-hop crew Swollen Members, is sorting through a heaping pile of laundry when the Now catches him by phone. The 38-year-old rapper – perhaps better known to his grandmother as Kiley Hendriks – has hardly had a day off between touring the group’s upcoming album, Brand New Day, promoting his new beer PrevAle that took off during Vancouver’s Craft Beer Week and being an ambassador for the Music Heals foundation, a charity that deals with music therapy. All of that on top of curating his website Prevailprevail.com, a veritable online magazine for Vancouver’s cultural upper crust, and the re-launch of Battle Axe Records, the Victoria native barely has a minute to breathe, let alone catch up on a week’s worth of dirty clothes. Having just returned from a trip that scoped from Montreal, then Boston to Los Angeles, Prevail is tired, but nonetheless grateful for the experiences the group has had so far touring its upcoming record, released on Tuesday (June 17). “We’ve been really lucky, we’ve done a
couple all-ages shows on this tour for Brand New Day,” he said. “I don’t want to question the magic, but I don’t know how an 11year-old kid knows about Swollen Members and knows all the lyrics to the songs, but it’s transpiring that way and it’s amazing. I think we’re quite lucky – and I don’t want to say it’s rare – but I think we’re in a pretty unique position when it comes to the exposure that we’ve had and the way that we’re able to affect the younger fan base.” After integral group member Madchild was barred from entering the United States for three years because of his alleged association with notorious motorcycle gang the Hell’s Angels, it had been quite a while since the trio — currently comprised of Prevail, Madchild and Rob the Viking — was able to perform for our neighbours to the south. “We were able to get back into the States as a unit for the first time to do a run of shows in almost five years,” Prevail admitted. “So that handcuffed us a little bit from being able to get into the U.S., but we’ve always stayed together, through trials and tribulations we’ve always still been making music.” The title of their 11th studio album isn’t a reference to the group getting back together
Swollen Members return to Olympia Pizza in Whalley this Saturday night, June 21. (contrary to popular belief, they’ve never entirely broken up), but rather that each remaining member is in a positive space in his life. “What we discovered on this record in the recording process … was we’re all in these personal places of positive momentum right now. Whenever the individuals in a group or in any relationship are happy, it just makes the overall unit function and perform much better,” Prevail said enthusiastically. “Hence Brand New Day; it was almost like the clouds had parted and after all the stuff that we’d been through, we were able to see the light again at the end

of the tunnel and say to each other, ‘We’ve built something, let’s keep pushing for it, let’s keep making sure that we’re solidifying the tradition and the legacy that we’re trying to continue to make records that we’re proud of and that we feel good about,’ and hopefully that translates to the listening audience.” And if the jam-packed shows that Swollen Members have been performing in support of Brand New Day are any indication, it’s evident that the group and its fans are, in fact, on the same page. It would be safe to say that when Swollen Members hit the stage at Surrey’s Olympia Pizza, the vibe will be no different. “It’s very intimate, it’s not really like playing at a stadium, size-wise, but because of that it’s a nice vibe – what we found is that its real hip-hop heads there,” Prevail said of the venue. “It’s real fans of rap music and it’s an educated crowd – they get it. When you say, ‘Put your hands up and jump,’ they put their hands up and jump. They’re very receptive and understanding of the process of what a live rap show is and that can be quite refreshing.” Swollen Members performs an all-ages show at Olympia Pizza this Saturday, June 21. Tickets are $35, doors open at 6 p.m.

GO! The arts
‘Red Rock Diner’ returns was on the Surrey stage. Did you see it then? If not, or if so, here is another chance for you to catch this bit of rock ‘n’ roll history. Go back to 1957, when young Robinson plays the biggest hits of the time. Five teens come of age to the background of the great tunes. Take a moment to explore our own history: Robinson began his broadcasting career at the age of 16 with CJOR. He was one of the first DJs to play Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and other rock ‘n’ roll artists on regular rotation in Canada. Audience favourite Zachary Stevenson (Buddy in The Buddy Holly Story) stars in this new production, directed and choreographed by Valerie Easton. Red Rock Diner plays at the Granville Island Stage (1585 Johnston St., Vancouver) from June 19 to Aug. 2. Tickets start at $29 via 604-687-1644 and Artsclub.com. And if you are looking for a big bang for your buck,

rt, science, history – it all started with a big bang. Those, of course, are the lyrics to the theme song for The Big Bang Theory television show. And the Barenaked Ladies got the lyrics and song just right. Yes, we are still unraveling the mysteries of the universe and use all that we have learned in history and science to create art. Arts Club Theatre Company is bringing back Red Rock Diner, the Dean Regan vehicle that recounts the early days of Vancouver’s legendary DJ, Red Robinson. Red Rock Diner has played to cities across Canada, and when Arts Club presented this show in 1998, a young and “undiscovered” Michael Bublé starred in this production. It

Congratulations Graduating Class 2014 Off to college ... or to high school? Graduation Gifts That Keep On Giving Graduation season is here! For family and friends of the graduate that means finding an appropriate gift. And what could be better than something that would help the new grad navigate the next four years like a ‘pro’ and save time, frustration, and money. Head to the nearest bookstore and for almost the price of a greeting card -- or instead of a greeting card -- pick up Been There, Should’ve Done That -- 995 tips for making the most of college. This award winning best-seller is a compilation of advice
from college students across the country who have been there and done that -- or didn’t do it, but are more than willing to share their hard-earned tips and strategies for success. “I got great grades and never missed a party, and here’s how to do it ...” has far more impact coming from a fellow student than a boring lecture on time management from an instructor or adviser.

Congratulations Graduating Class 2014 Cora Weger, Director of Student Support Services at Illinois Eastern Community College agrees, “Kids love it! We give the book to all our freshmen.” This ‘straight from the horse’s mouth’ advice covers issues both in and out of the classroom. So when an economics major says, “Instructors take it personally if you cut (class) a lot. Not having an attendance requirement doesn’t mean they won’t take it out on your grade,” or a psychology major advises “Volunteer to answer questions you do know so you won’t be called on for the ones you don’t,” or an education major relays, “I wish someone had told me how useless and expensive drinking is. It’s taken me 3 semesters to raise my GPA,” the freshman to be is more likely to listen - and benefit.
Eighth Grade Grads. For the 8th graders heading to high school on your gift list, pick up a few copies of Countdown to College: 21 ‘TO DO’ LISTS for HIGH SCHOOL. This step-by-step guide begins the very first day of high school, and shows students -- and parents -- what to do and when to do it. “Too many people think preparations to apply for college begin in the junior year,” says coauthor Cheryl Rilly, “and that’s a big and a costly mistake not only financially, but in terms of stress and frustration.” Looking for scholarships and scouting out dream colleges in freshman year? Yes. Knowing what a dream college requirements are helps you set up a four year study plan that, if left until junior year would be too late. You may not have time
to fit in the classes you need. And scholarships and financial awards can be mined as early as your first year in high school.
FRASER HEIGHTS SECONDARY SCHOOL Congratulations to the 2014 Graduating Class of Johnston Heights Secondary! The staff is very proud of the many positive contributions to the school and community that you have made. We wish each of you every success in the future.

Minty on the arts you might even meet the legend himself: “You can count on Carole and I being on hand for many of the performances,” Red Robinson stated. “I would love to see you in the audience during its run.” Visual art is another vehicle to reflect our culture and history. No, really? OK, I know that is stating the obvious, but work with me a bit on this theme. On view now until Aug. 9 at Surrey Art Gallery is Change: Contemporary Ismaili Muslim Art. In this exhibit, nine established and emerging B.C.-based members of Ismaili Artists Canada, an independent organization that promotes and supports visual media artists, show the humanistic approach of Islam and share their experiences through paintings, photographs, calligraphy and
is inspired by art, music and psychology. This exhibit is about the darkness we experience when everything in our lives seems to be going wrong and the turning point when we discover the light at the end of the tunnel. Moments. Not everything in life is a big bang, you know. Sometimes it is just a gentle discovery of our history, our culture and how music and art can both entertain and educate. The exhibit’s opening reception is Saturday, June 21 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre, located at 15154 Russell Ave. We can always use a little more history. Surrey Heritage Services welcomes back The Re-enactors heritage re-enactment troupe. This troupe brings to life Surrey’s true stories during the period of 1872 to 1945. Meet Eric Anderson and hear how he sailed the world before deserting whaling life to
settle in Surrey, eventually selling his land to make room for the BCER railway. Engage in political debate with T.J. Sullivan, Surrey’s longest standing reeve, as he campaigns for the development of the Surrey Dyking System and the International Peace Arch. Get a lesson from adventurous maverick Miss Mary Jane Shannon while trying out an old-time slate board and hearing her tales of teaching at Clover Valley School. Be sure to line up for an immunization from Doctor Fredrick Sinclair, as he informs you about his duties as Medical Health Officer and advocates for a hospital in Surrey. Performances by the troupe are part of Doors Open on Saturday, June 21. Doors Open is a staggering staging of arts, culture, recreation and heritage in Surrey. This is definitely a big-bang event – not just a theory. Plan to participate.

Two-room studio keeps brothers busy in South Surrey Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
SOUTH SURREY — For 10 years, Brian and Bob Sumner have been making a name for themselves in the White Rock-South Surrey community, and beyond. Known as the roots-Americana duo the Sumner Brothers, the band of siblings is often on the road touring their albums – they’ve penned four and are working on a fifth – while their hometown fans await their return. And while music is decidedly their mainstay, when the brothers aren’t making their living in the back of a van, they’ve decided to set up shop in South Surrey – a music shop, that is. Launched in late 2013, the Sumner Brothers Studios makes its home at King George Boulevard and 26th Avenue, teaching music to kids, teens and adults, and mentoring budding musicians. “We’ve been doing (music) for 10 years in total, and I guess you’d say professionally for seven years, but it’s tough obviously, making an amount of money that can really keep you going, so this was to help with that a bit,” said Brian Sumner at the neatly
arranged two-room studio. “To be honest, I was thinking about teaching guitar anyways – it was something I wanted to get into, and we thought about getting a job at Long & McQuade or something like that, but we tour so much and our schedules are so fluid that I needed to be able to set my own schedule.” With framed records hung upon the walls, pianos and organs sitting in corners of the room and pages of open sheetmusic, vintage record players and ’60s-style vintage couches in the waiting room, it’s a clean, musically-homey space that anyone from Jimi Hendrix to Tom Waits would be comfortable penning an album in. That’s perhaps why the studio has been so successful. “We only had one student for six months, so it was tough making rent, but we were actually funding this place from money from the band,” Brian said. “We learned from the band that if you just stick it out, the word will eventually spread.” And indeed it did. Now, the brothers juggle about 20 students, working from about 3:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. every weeknight. “It’s tailored toward the kids because they’re going to school and come
Brian Sumner: “We learned from the band that if you just stick it out, the word will eventually spread.” (Photo: KEVIN HILL) here after school and we slot the adults in – it works for them, too, but as of yet, we’re not teaching on weekends.” Twice per year, students are encouraged to perform at a local coffee shop for the studio’s showcase, presenting what they’ve been working on in their classes. Brain also maintains that his time managing the Sumner Brothers band has helped him to understand how to run a business — but in actuality, running the business has been a lot easier. “This business is so much simpler than running the band. Running the band taught me a lot about business, so it worked

that way,” he said. “Planning, budgeting, marketing, the concept for trying to do a great job from the get-go so that your brand and business can spread by word of mouth, being consistent, longevity…” The list goes on. Since the guys are relative hometown heroes when it comes to alt-country music in the Lower Mainland, it would be appropriate to assume that most of their students are staunch fans of the brothers, but according to Brian, that’s not always the case. “We have a few students who are fans, but for the most part, not a lot of them actually know what we do,” he said with a laugh, “which is kind of funny because we kind of thought it would be like a branding coup because a lot of people in the area know who we are in terms of our music, but I guess it doesn’t really filter down to the 15, 16 year olds and what not. They could care less. But they still get that we’re professionals and that filters down to them. If they ever have any questions or they’re wondering how to get a coffee shop gig, how you get in touch with the media, all that kind of stuff. After you’ve worked with them for a while, they kind of get the idea that you know what you’re doing.”

Stand-up paddleboarding
Surfing-kayaking hybrid goes mainstream Getting started
David Dreves, owner and instructor of Kawika SUP, shows his students how to paddle during a class at Crescent Beach on Sunday, June 15. Stand-up paddleboarding began in the Hawaiian Islands and has since become popular on North America’s west coast. (Photo: MATT LAW) Summer is here and it’s time to get out and enjoy this special time of the year. Over the next three months the Now will offer you some unique sporting ways to experience summer without leaving town. Kyle Benning
Now Contributor Twitter @KBBenning
CRESCENT BEACH – With the wind blowing through your hair and the waves beneath your board, there aren’t too many thrilling summer activities like stand-up paddleboard (SUP). With day trips to the beach becoming more frequent over the summer months, stand-up paddleboarding is one activity where we can enjoy ourselves on the water in the sun. The sport made a splash in the ’60s in Hawaii when surfing instructors would bring a paddle and stand on their boards while watching their class attempt to ride a wave. The vantage point would allow them to have a better view of all of their students as well as giving them a unique core workout.
After growing in popularity on the Hawaiian Islands, stand-up paddleboarding made its way to the continental United States, where it gained traction in California and Oregon. It has just started to become popular in Canada over the last decade. David Dreves runs Kawika SUP, a business that teaches people how to kayak. Stand-up palddleboarding has become so big that he now offers beginners courses in it as well. Dreves, who has Paddle Canada’s Advanced Flatwater SUP instructor certificate, was inspired to add the courses to his business the first time he saw paddleborders north of the border. “I just decided that that would be a nice avenue to pursue as well; that was kind of up the same line of what I was doing with kayaking. We got into that as a business three years ago as we saw the trends progressing,” Dreves said. The balance required to stand up on a paddleboard can be difficult and this is one of the main things taught in the beginners’ class, Dreves added.
“It takes a bit of practice, and if people can just relax, that’s probably the biggest thing. The more they relax, the more comfortable they’ll be and the more stable they’ll be on the board,” Dreves said.
It takes a bit of practice, and if people can just relax, that’s probably the biggest thing. The core strength required for paddleboarding has also been known to team up with yoga, and Dreves’ Kawika SUP offers courses in SUP yoga. “Yoga blends well with stand-up paddleboard because of that balance issue. It adds another element to stand-up paddle, but it also adds another element to the yoga when it comes to just the core muscles involved with keeping that stability on the board,” Dreves said.
The Gear There are two main styles of paddleboards: the surfboard-style design and the displacement hull. The latter is more of a racing board, allowing its user to travel at faster speeds despite being less stable. Prices for new boards range from $500 to $2,500 for higher-end boards. However, used and rental equipment is also available. A paddle is also required for anyone looking to partake in this activity. Like the board, it can be rented, but a new paddle will cost anywhere from $45 to $80. Paddleboarding is regulated by Transport Canada, which means there are a few safety items required to meet regulations by paddlers when they are on the water. A PFD (personal flotation device), or a lifejacket, is one of those requirements. The other two are a whistle, in case you stumble into trouble, and 15 feet of rope. These items can be rented as well, or purchased at Canadian Tire or any store that sells paddleboards. Where to go Anyone who is looking to paddleboard has the freedom to go wherever there is water. There is no centralized location to participate in this activity, which seems to be growing larger every season. However, Dreves recommends that anyone who is planning to go in deeper water should take a safety course first. This will give them the basic knowledge of how to prevent any kind of accident as well as how to appropriately respond if an accident does occur. “The learning curve on paddleboard is pretty short. There’s not that much to know and if they’re in a really sheltered environment, it’s not overly difficult. But if they’re going to pursue it and get into areas where they might get into a bit more trouble, I highly recommend they take a course and get a bit more knowledge,” he said.

Coming through
Briefly
BCHL stays on course It was business as usual for the B.C. Hockey League at the circuit’s annual general meeting June 5 to 7 in Richmond. The league will continue following the Junior A Supplement document, which determines discipline on dangerous hits and fighting. The Supplement was created by the four western Junior A leagues and will be followed by all 128 Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) teams across the 10 Junior A leagues next season. The BCHL will continue with the same playoff format as this past season. Again, this will see best-of-seven playoff action in Rounds 1 and 2, a three-team round robin in Round 3 designed to eliminate one team and a best-of-seven Fred Page Cup final between the two teams surviving Round 3. For the third-straight season, the Bauer BCHL Showcase will take place, running Sept. 19 to 21 at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. All games played at the Showcase will count in the regular-season standings and a large contingent of NCAA coaches, professional scouts and Canadian university representatives are again expected to attend. BCHL regular-season games will begin Friday, Sept. 26 and finish Sunday, March 1, 2015.

Surrey’s Satinder Dhaliwal is heading up the Coquihalla Highway to join the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer program beginning in August. The Tamanawis grad heads to Kamloops following four years at UBC, one of which was a red-shirt (non-playing) season. Dhaliwal, a centre midfield/back, recently completed an Arts degree at UBC. He picked TRU for the chance to play soccer while pursuing a law degree.

the first two of those came with six-cylinder base engines and the Nova came with, you guessed it, a fourcylinder. And just 90 horsepower, which is a joke by today’s standards. But old-school car guys have selective memories about humble models, mostly because big muscle makes the best stories. As much as they’re the stuff of legends, Hemicudas/SS 454 Chevelles/GT 500 Mustangs didn’t rule the road because there just weren’t enough of them built. No, what you were more apt to see were tamer six-cylinder models or base V8 cars. The 1968-’72 Novas (Chevy II for 1968) were for the most part unglamorous breadand-butter grocerygetters that lacked the pedigree of the cars so passionately pampered and drooled over at today’s car shows. They don’t fetch big bucks at auctions and necks seldom snap even when a pristine example cruises by. The vast majority of Novas sold had four doors and/or were powered by thrifty six-cylinder engines. A four-cylinder was offered until 1970. They were part of Chevy’s compact-car family whose first duty was to provide A-to-B transportation. What more did it need to do? Chevrolet already had its powerhouse Camaro and curvaceous Chevelle. Like so many other cars of the day, however, the Nova was transformed into a stout performer that, although not the huge sales success of its siblings, had more than enough charm to earn “they-don’t-make-’emlike-that-anymore” comments. Originally built to
do battle with Ford’s Falcon, the Chevy II, as it was called, was in need of a remake to keep up with the times and stem a decline in sales. This took place for 1968. Borrowing the floorpan, forward subframe and most suspension pieces from the Camaro and the semi-fastback look of the Chevelle, the new Chevy II Nova, in two-door livery, might best be described as the offspring of the two platforms. As a bonus, the Nova’s front/rear weight balance was better than the Camaro’s, and the minimalist, all-business styling was refreshing in a day and age when stripes, cartoon characters and other gimmicks were part and parcel of what the hip, high-profile buying public wanted. So, why does this car qualify for “Fine Lines” status? The Nova, as history would reveal, was one of the most honest and hardworking cars available at the time. The fact that it did triple duty as a thrifty family hauler, sporty two-door and youthful muscle machine only bears this out. For 1968, the first year of the remake, sales approached the 200,000 mark. Only 1,270 came with the 90-horsepower four-cylinder while about 130,000 came with the six-cylinder engine. Nearly 50,000 V8-powered Novas were sold and came equipped with everything from a 283, 307, 327, 350 and the 396 big block at the top. The 1968 base price for a V8-powered Chevy II Nova was less than $2,400 and was the key carrot dangling in front of the noses of prospective buyers. For just $210 more, see EARLY › page 62

‹ from page 60 the SS package included such goodies as special badging, black-accented grille, special hood ornaments, insignia and 70-series rubber. Still, you had to pay more money to replace the hub caps with road wheels. The 295-horsepower (later upgraded to 300) 350 OHV V8 was mandatory motivation if you wanted to SS-ize your Chevy II Nova. Of course, you could upgrade to one of two versions of the powerhouse 396, rated at 350 and 375 horsepower. Despite the paltry SS entry fee, only 5,600 buyers stepped up to purchase the package, making any ‘68 Chevy II Nova SS rare, especially today, four decades after creation. Only 900 carried the 396. Despite minor cosmetic variations, the Nova (the Chevy II name was dropped for 1969) marched right through to 1970 relatively unfettered. The 396 actually displaced 402 cubic inches, but was called a 396 so that it wouldn’t be confused with the 400 “small block” that was also being built. Word of the SS was out as more than 17,000 were ordered for 1969. And nearly 20,000 hit the streets for 1970. As with all hot cars of the day, 1971 was the beginning of the performance downturn. The 350 was downrated to 270 horsepower and the 396 engines were conspicuously absent.
The decline in the performance market that clobbered the sales of other factory hot rods seemed to only strengthen the resolve of a public that needed to have cheap, fuel-efficient transportation. As a result, sales of the Nova rocketed to nearly 350,000 units in 1972, while SS production dropped to about 12,000 cars. Even rated at 200 “net” horsepower (the old system of “gross” ratings without any power-robbing engine accessories was gone as it was deemed less realistic), the base SS 350 was no slouch and contained all the equipment available the year before. After 1972, it’s safe to say that the gnarly Nova SS was gone, certainly in terms of soul. The SS package became cakedressing with little in the way of performance hardware. Parading around in pseudo-supercar garb for a couple more years did nothing to further the image of the marque. Still, the Nova did its job as close to one million examples of the popular compact were built and sold between 1968 and ‘72. Although it might not be one of the most sought after and talked about cars when the topic of landmark vehicles and milestones ensues, it was very typical of what Joe or Jane Average were buying and, for that reason, takes it rightful place in halls of automobile history, even if it doesn’t as a conversation piece around the shop.

Proper care of your car’s exterior finish is something that can be easily overlooked, but shouldn’t be ignored. “Your car’s paint job is one of its most noticeable features and really exemplifies how you maintain your vehicle,” said David Lambert, the brand manager at Autoglym Canada. “If you want to ensure that your car stays at its best, vehicle owners should take the time to regularly wash, polish, and protect their vehicle with the right tools and products.” Autoglym gives us the following tips on how to maintain the perfect shine: Step 1 – Wash Wash your car regularly; doing so will help to preserve the finish of your car’s paintwork. Avoid household detergents as they can have a dulling effect on your paintwork. Instead, use a product designed for car washing, like
Autoglym Bodywork Wash & Wax. Step 2 – Polish Many of us tend to skip the polishing step and go straight to waxing. Don’t make this common mistake. Polishing not only corrects paintwork and rectifies imperfections such as light scratches and swirl marks, but it also restores colour and shine. Step 3 – Protect Waxing is an important final touch to protect your car’s paintwork against harmful environmental factors such as bird droppings and sap. Unlike polish, wax contains no cleaning or restoring agents and should be used to seal in the result achieved from polishing: clean, dry, blemish-free paintwork. Additional information and tips are available online at www. autoglym.com. www.newscanada.com

HOMELESS
SURREY
Guilty plea in murder trial
Widely recognized as an imperfect survey, the latest regional count suggests 403 people are homeless in Surrey – but those on the front lines would tell you the number is more like 2,000. And if you ask the city, it says the numbers have actually gone down proportionally. Regardless of the stats, everyone involved in finding a solution seems to agree on one thing – it’s all about housing.

Ride2Survive marks 10 years of fighting cancer Matt Law

Now contributor Twitter@ mjlaw_photo
SURREY — In its origins, it was nothing more than a 400-kilometre notch in a belt for a few cyclists. But in 10 years, soon-to-be 4,000 kilometres and countless chafing-induced rashes, the Ride2Survive has become something much bigger. In the month before the first ride was underway in 2004, it became about raising money for cancer research. This decision led to the creation of a 100-per-cent volunteerbased charity ride that has since raised more than $2.5 million. Only half of the 17-rider team finished that first ride, but the cyclists and organizers came away with a realization about what they had created. “We learned about it that night and thought ‘wow we’ve got something here’. At the time there was no other ultra distance cycling event. And it stayed in B.C.,” said Vicki Kunzli, one of Ride2Survive’s organizers. Now the annual event is a one-day, 400kilometre cycling fundraiser from Kelowna to Delta. It follows the Coquihalla Highway, a grueling ride for even the most seasoned cyclists. The event has grown to 140 riders, a support crew of 103 and a cause that has become a second full-time, volunteer job for Kunzli and the other organizers. The knowledge that they are making a difference has made all the work worthwhile. “Knowing full well that some of the treatments that we fund, people are still here. They’ve been given three weeks (to live), they’ve gone on a new treatment and five years later they’re still here. It makes a difference,” said Kunzli. There have been moments that make the ride more than about those participating, she said.
AS09
Despite being a gruelling ride, smiles are common along the Ride2Survive route. One year, the group was riding through an area with busy traffic. The police had pulled all the cars over to clear the road. “There were people honking and standing outside of their cars and all of a sudden we saw people holding up their wallets and pictures in their wallets. And that was just a clincher to me going, ‘Oh my gosh, these are their people’,” said Kunzli. The riders have also lost many of their own along the way. Their names are permanently printed on the sleeves of the Ride2Survive jerseys. The Ride2Survive takes place on Saturday (June 21). Riders will leave Kelowna at 3:30 a.m. and hope to arrive at South Shore Cycle on Scott Road in North Delta by 10 p.m. This year, those at home can follow the Ride2Survive’s progress in real-time and on social media. “We will have GPS on our front pilot vehicle the whole day so they can watch on our website and we will be tweeting and facebooking all day,” said Kunzli. While partnered with the Canadian Cancer Society, the Ride2Survive is classified as an independent fundraiser. This means no administration costs are taken and 100 per cent of donations go to research and prevention. For more information, to donate or to follow the riders in real-time on ride day, visit www.ride2survive.ca matt@mattlaw.ca

Artists ‘disgusted’ after sculpture vandalized again Troy Landreville Langley Advance
BROOKSWOOD — A fibreglass horse statue is now in storage after being vandalized at the Brookswood Water Park for the second time in nearly a year. The sculpture “Tattoo”, designed by artist Marilyn Dyer, was supposed to be back on permanent display at the Brookswood water park at 200th Street and 40th Avenue. Instead, the $10,000 piece of art has been put away for safekeeping by the Township of Langley, after one or more vandals smashed some of its legs and hooves either Friday night or early Saturday morning. The painted horse’s return to the park was very short-lived. “The two words are disgusting and disappointed,” said an emotional Diane Gendron, president of the Langley Arts Council. In 2013, vandals sliced the horse’s head and hooves off and left it on the ground. “The hope was the people who were involved the last time perhaps had grown up, perhaps had left the neighbourhood,

The Brookswood Merchants Association has kept the sculpture since last July before it was returned to the park a second time. The sculpture was glued back together, to be displayed publicly again.
“The idea of putting it [back on display] with its wounds still showing was that, it becomes socially engaged art,” Gendron said. “It was still beautiful, and still you could see all of Marilyn’s designs. The wounds that were left on it, were where the cuts had been.”
Dyer, who originally spent 300 hours creating the sculpture, believes the initial incident was premeditated. “They had to be pretty strong,” she said. “They used a chainsaw. You’d have to lift the chainsaw, you’d have to cut through, and it was clean cut.” On Saturday, it was found leaning on its side, marked by a graffiti tag. Dyer said the sculpture’s intention was to enhance a children’s park. “I’m very saddened for the community, and the children,” she said. “The administration who puts that effort out to do that [place the horse in the park] for the community, and when they get it right, and then someone who doesn’t want to be creative and thoughtful comes and just wipes out a dream.” Author Ruthie Charles has written a book centred around the horse’s story, with a theme on bullying and its effects. As part of Saturday’s Brookswood Village Summerfest, buttons were sold for $2 each to raise money to have the book printed. Anyone with information can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Girl nearly drowns on Father’s Day DELTA — A day meant to celebrate the joy of fatherhood nearly became a nightmare as a five-year-old Tsawwassen girl nearly drowned. Paramedics were called to the Kuma Crescent residence just after 3 p.m. with the report that the girl had fallen into a pool at the family home. Parents were reportedly able to pull her from the pool and perform mouth-tomouth resuscitation until she began to spit
out water and breathe again on her own. BC Ambulance airlifted the child to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver for medical evaluation. Delta Police issued a warning that with the warmer weather parents need to take greater precautions for children playing near water sources. Police recommend adult supervision and the use of a life jacket for younger children.

A big buzz around beekeeping The recent Day of the Honey Bee shines spotlight on the smallest domesticated animal in British Columbia Matthew Claxton
We call it (honey) the universal currency.… I deal with my yard around food for the honeybees. I won’t let my husband cut the grass when the dandelions are blooming.
Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance
T
he low hum of honey bees in flight hangs over Shelley Armstrong’s rural Langley property. Her path to becoming one of a growing number of beekeepers in the region has passed from family tradition to hobby to full-time profession. Now she passes on her expertise, and provides more hives to an industry that’s been hard hit over the past few years. On a warm weekday in late May, Armstrong was at work in her yard, checking out hives for queens and drones, pulling away excess wax comb, and preparing to rebuild hives to create nuclei for new hives. She worked calmly, picking up the rectangular frames with her bare hands. While she wears a beekeeper’s hood, she prefers to work bare-handed to get a better feel for the hives, so she can be gentler. She also uses smoke to keep the bees docile. The smoke works in two ways, Armstrong said. First, bees instinctively retreat from smoke, and move to eat honey in case they have to flee from a hivedestroying fire. Secondly, it blocks the spread of the chemicals bees release when they’re alarmed or have just stung someone. A sting on her thumb doesn’t slow Armstrong down, as she calmly scrapes it out and keeps working. May 29 was the Day of the Honey Bee in B.C., marking 156 years since the first domesticated bee hives were brought to this province. Bees are an ancient domesticated animal, and many people have beekeepers, or apiarists, in their family tree. Armstrong’s work with bees started with her grandfather, a beekeeper in England. “As a really young child, I loved the smell of his honey house,” said Armstrong. She studied biology at university in Ontario, including bees, but it wasn’t until 2006, when she and her husband bought their Langley home, that she felt ready to start keeping a few hives. It started with a few, but the numbers increased. “It’s hard to stop,” Armstrong said. It had been 10 years since she had worked with or studied bees in university, and Armstrong said even as a hobbyist, she had some catching up to do on the field. She took courses at the Honeybee Centre in Surrey and through SFU’s Bee Master course. Then in 2009, she lost her job and her first son was on the way, and she was looking for something she could do closer to home.
Beekeeper Shelley Armstrong works, without gloves, around hives holding tens of thousands of bees. (Photo: MATTHEW CLAXTON, Langley Advance) Expanding her hobby to a job beckoned. “It just sort of happened,” she said. She wanted to do something she genuinely loved with all her heart, Armstrong said.
50 ACTIVE HIVES ON PROPERTY
Now Armstrong keeps 50 active hives on her property, with between 60,000 to 100,000 bees in each hive. Some beekeepers raise bees for the honey, others truck them from farm to farm to provide pollination services to the many berry farmers in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Armstrong primarily works on creating new hives for others, breeding new queens and drones. She’ll casually pick up the male drones from her hives – they have no stingers – and she admires their big eyes and fuzzy abdomens. At this time of year, she’s rearing a lot of queens, said Armstrong. Like all beekeepers, she also collects honey, selling some of it but keeping a great deal for her family or giving it away to friends. “We call it the universal currency,” she said. Because she’s a beekeeper, her yard abounds in flowers, most of them wild. “I deal with my yard around food for the honeybees,” said Armstrong. “I won’t let my husband cut the grass when the dandelions are blooming.” From the perspective of the provincial Ministry of Agriculture, and hundreds of farmers around B.C., the most important factor in beekeeping is making sure there are plenty of both bees and beekeepers around for years to come. Because numerous crops rely on bees for pollination, a major concern in recent years
has been colony collapse disorder, in which hives seem to simply empty out or die off, particularly over the winters. Scientific studies have pointed to a number of factors, including parasitic mites, but most new research has pinned a good portion of the blame on certain insecticides used on commercial crops, especially a category known as neonicotinoids. With the threat of a loss of pollination, supporting bee health has become a more important issue than ever before. Working to help beekeepers are organizations like the Langley Bee Club, of which Armstrong is the treasurer. It has around 150 members and regularly meets in a local church. In addition, the community of beekeepers tend to help one another out, mentoring people new to the hobby or the business.
Honeybee Festival set for July 26-27 The two-day Honeybee Festival will take place this year on the weekend of July 26 and 27. The annual event happens daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Honeybee Centre, located at the corner of Fraser Highway and 176th Street, Surrey. “As much fun as beekeeping and tours are, sometimes we like to let loose by inviting the community to swing by our hive for some free family fun,” reads a post at Honeybeecentre.com.
There are also various bee education programs that run at colleges and universities including at Kwantlen Polytechnic. Armstrong mentioned the support of the Ministry of Agriculture’s bee inspectors, which provide free support services to beekeepers, and the Animal Health Centre provides diagnostics on bee health. All that support, formal and informal, is there for a reason: there’s plenty of room for new people to enter beekeeping.
‘IT’S NOT CHEAP’
As many municipalities around the region have loosened their regulations on keeping back yard hives, more amateurs are getting into the game. “It’s not cheap,” said Armstrong. A starter hive costs roughly $350 to $500, she said. The first jar of honey out of a hive is often the most expensive the beekeeper will have ever eaten, she noted. Then there are the troubles fending off colony collapse disorder and the other issues that plague bees. But for those who go professional, there is a real market, particularly in pollination. Provincially, about $250 million worth of agricultural production every year depends on bee pollination. Fruit, berries, and canola crops in particular need bees to thrive. “Certainly there’s a shortage of bees come pollination time,” said Armstrong. Some farms bring in bees from Alberta, but smaller farmers are the ones most in need, as they have the fewest resources. Armstrong said there’s a place for smaller beekeepers to enter the market to work with them. For those looking into the hobby or field, she says there’s no substitute for hands on knowledge. “You learn a lot by doing it,” she said. She recommends beekeeping courses as well as talking to existing apiarists. “There’s a lot to know, it’s a steep learning curve,” said Armstrong. She’s still keen to welcome more people to the world of beekeeping, however.

New road and rail overpasses celebrated
Two new road and rail overpasses in Langley City and on the Langley-Surrey border have opened to public traffic. Construction has finished on the overpasses at 54th Avenue in Langley City and 196th Street on the border between both Langleys and Surrey. On June 6, local politicians and officials with the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project marked those openings, as well as the opening several months ago of the 232nd Street rail overpass. The overpasses are being built to alleviate traffic as longer and more frequent trains travel down the rail lines through Langley, Surrey, and Delta leading to the Deltaport shipping terminal. Moving traffic over the rail lines, and over roads such as the Langley Bypass, also is intended to improve road safety. The three overpasses cost $110.4 million, with $30.2 million coming from the federal government. The overpasses were completed on time and within budget, according to the government. Other funds came from the province, local municipalities, and a portion from the rail companies involved.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new railway overpasses in Langley City and on the LangleySurrey border drew a number of dignitaries on June 6.
A nearby overpass on 192nd Street in Surrey is scheduled for completion later this year. Five of the nine overpasses between Delta
and Langley have so far been completed. “By working with our partners, we have delivered on infrastructure projects that will improve the flow of local road
and rail traffic, decrease greenhouse gas emissions throughout British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, and increase Canada’s competitiveness in markets throughout the Asia Pacific Region,” said Langley MP Mark Warawa. Yet to be completed in Langley is the Mufford Glover overpass project. Many of the overpasses, including the Langley City project as well as MuffordGlover, have proven extremely controversial. Neighbours in western Langley City objected to the design of the overpass and feared it could bring additional traffic and noise to their area.

‘Buono’ day for bocce enthusiasts in Willoughby LANGLEY — A “buono” new sport has been introduced at Willoughby Community Park, thanks to a partnership between the Township of Langley and the Fraser Valley Italo Canadian Society. Two bocce courts were unveiled on June 11 at the park, next to the Langley Events Centre, 7888 200th St. Bocce is an Italian game that involves throwing balls from one end of a court to the other, and is traditionally played outdoors. The new courts were constructed by the Township’s Parks Department for the BC Seniors Games, which are being hosted by Langley this September. They will also provide a venue for local residents who want to try the sport. The two bocce courts are made of wood timbers surrounding a compacted and leveled sand playing surface. They are both regulation size at 13 x 90 feet. The project was completed in consultation with the Fraser Valley Italo Canadian Society, whose members joined Township Mayor Jack Froese to officially open the bocce courts. “We all have visions and dreams, but usually that is all they are, and don’t come to pass,” said the Society’s Gino Russo.
DIRECTED BY WENDY BOLLARD
We all have visions and dreams, but usually that is all they are, and don’t come to pass. For a while I wondered about this one, but here it is. We compliment the people who made this happen.
Mayor Jack Froese (middle, dark suit) joined members of the Fraser Valley Italo-Canadian Society in opening the new bocce courts at Willoughby Community Park on June 11.
“For a while I wondered about this one, but here it is. We compliment the people who made this happen.” The unique facility is located west of the four sand volleyball courts at Willoughby Community Park, and adds to the many sports and recreation opportunities located there. A set of balls is available for use with a deposit from the adjacent Willoughby Community Centre in the Langley Events Centre, so that everyone can give bocce a try.

Back to five suitcases for Bonnie Kilroe Roxanne Hooper
Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance
LANGLEY — What do Marilyn Monroe, Dolly Parton, and Cher have in common with Edith Bunker, Mae West, and Lady Gaga? Answer: Bonnie Kilroe. And after an insane (in a good way) year of globetrotting, this Vancouver entertainer is bringing her one-woman tour de force Divas: Vaudeville meets Vegas show back to Langley this coming weekend. “I have been the busiest ever the last year and a half performing everywhere from Shanghai to Dawson City, Monte Carlo to Ohio,” Kilroe said recently. “So much travelling.” In fact, she called from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to share how excited she is about bringing her new show to her fans in Langley. She had been performing in the Mexican resort town for all of January and February, but said this week’s visit is all about vacationing. “I only had to bring one suitcase – what a dream,” she said with a chuckle. “Not even a carry-on. This has been especially sweet having just got back from a two-week run in Rosarito, Mexico carrying around five suitcases.” While in Rosarito, Kilroe decided to stop in Vegas for a few days on her drive home, and catch some shows. More importantly, she said, she shot some “great and funny footage” for a new Cher video montage she’s created to show her audience during the last big costume change of her shows. “I love using media, and I even shot some footage at the casino,” Kilroe said, excited to
The many faces of Bonnie Kilroe, a Vancouver-based entertainer who brings her impersonations of Lady Gaga, Dolly Parton, Cher and others to Cascades Casino Resort in Langley on Sunday, June 22. share that. Asked more about the show she’s bringing to Langley on Sunday, June 22, at Cascades Casino, she said it is a celebrity impersonation spectacle made up of onepart tribute, one-part farce that will have people laughing and crying – sometimes within a single breath. “I have a new medley that I do before I get into my real characterizations,” Kilroe shared. “It’s about seven minutes long and I do a little bit of everybody from either
Edith Bunker to Marlene Dietrich to Shakira, and I am adding Prince to the mix. “I also have a bigger role for Sharon Osbourne in the show,” she added, noting she can’t wait to share it with what she calls one of her favourite audiences in Langley. Show tickets are $32.50 and are available from the casino guest services, by phone at 604-530-2211 and at Ticketweb.ca. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30 p.m.

Event at Thunderbird Show Park
Grand Prix Gala raises $60K for student programs Langley School District Foundation hosted its ninth Grand Prix Gala on a recent Sunday afternoon at Thunderbird Show Park. Guests, sporting a magnificent array of hats, streamed in and were seated at tables bedecked in white and black linen, punctuated with blasts of colour from delicate floral bouquets. The 200 guests were settled with plates of gourmet hors d’oeuvres paired with glasses of wine complements of the 13 wineries offering tastings from their finest selections. Once seated, the crowd cast their eyes onto the grand prix ring at Thunderbird,
which is rated as one of the top two show jumping facilities in North America. Sleek, 1,000-pound equine athletes pranced on to the verdant stretches. Anxious and literally champing at the bit, they were ready to perform. And perform they did. Leaping over zigzag fences, ponds and brick barricades, the horses and riders from Canada, the United States and Europe held the Foundation guests riveted to their seats. At the same time, the milling crowd waited with bated breath to be given the order to open their pretty
little box – it could contain exquisite diamond earrings. The winner, with tears in her eyes, was overcome with delight. Others scoured the multitude of items displayed at the silent auction tables. The deals included dinner for eight – wined and dined by Township of Langley firefighters, weekends for two at seaside resorts, jewelry, spa visits, golf games, espresso machines, long boards (designed by Langley students), and much more.
