A development on the west side of 168th Street between 20th Avenue and 24th Avenue.

W

hen Sybil Rowe moved to Grandview Heights from Victoria 12 years ago, the area was a very different place than it is today.

She’s seen development creep into the neighbourhood, piece by piece.

“I got here just in time for all of this to begin. It always starts with wedges. You get little incidious development. The beginning of the end for Grandview Heights as we know it was the big box stores.”

With all the densification the area has seen, Rowe has taken it upon herself to fight for the trees in the area.

“It’s a magnificently beautiful area. It’s God’s land and we’ve got to fight for it. The developers have had far too much their way,” Rowe said.

The neighbourhood is home to some incredibly lush, green areas. Grandview Heights Area 4, bound by the Agricultural Land Reserve, is considered by some to be one of the most important biologically diverse areas in the city. No development has yet crept into that pocket of the neighbourhood.

Rowe pointed to a development across the street from her – the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre – located at the corner of 168th Street and 24th Avenue.

The City of Surrey is behind the new aquatic centre, outlined in the Build Surrey plan, which will have a 10-lane, 50-metre competitive main pool with spectator seating, as well as a fitness centre. The building’s scale and strong presence on a

“It’s gargantuan. It’s Olympic sized. But when you deal with all of the athletic fields and everything that is going to accompany it, the high school, the number of trees that are going to disappear across the road from me break my heart,” she said, but added she understands the development is needed for local youth and athletes, and acknowledged that it serves a purpose.

While Rowe has gotten her mind around the need for the project after the influx of growth in the community, she now considers it her duty to fight for trees and green space.

In January, she embarked upon a mission to save some of the area’s timbers.

She hit the streets and knocked on doors and collected some 730 signatures and presented the petition to the city.

The facts on Grandview Heights

S

ome consider Grandview Heights to be everything in South Surrey east of Highway 99.

According to the city, Grandview Heights is generally bound by 184th Street to Highway 99, and 16th Avenue to 28th Avenue, though some neighbourhoods considered to be part of Grandview extend past those borders, such as Rosemary Heights, toward 152nd Street and 34th Avenue, and North Grandview Heights, which extends upward from 28th Avenue to 32nd Avenue, from 176th Street to Highway 99.

The area encompasses subdivisions such as Morgan Creek, Rosemary Heights, Morgan Heights, Sunnyside Heights, Redwood Heights, Orchard

Grove, and other yet-to-be-named areas.

Some neighbourhoods are built-out, such as Morgan Heights, while others are just on the cusp of densification, such as Sunnyside Heights and Orchard Grove.

In all, these areas have grown from a population of roughly 16,000 two decades ago, to about 23,000 today.

There has been approximately 3,000 new housing units built over that time.

The ultimate projected build out is approximately 50,000 people – or about 20,000 housing units – 30 years down the road. While continued development is inevitable in the area, many pockets of acreage properties remain and are expected to in the foreseeable future.

F

or the past three or four summers, the Kennedy family has been spending a couple days per week fishing for crab off of the pier at South Surrey’s Crescent Beach.

Glen and Marianne, along with their two young sons, Kurt and Sean, bait their single trap with a turkey’s neck or piece of chicken and throw it off the wooden dock into the water and wait for the crustaceans to walk into it.

“We just got our licenses yesterday,” Glen said enthusiastically, watching his trap on a sunny June day. Glen renews his crabbing license each year, with the license expiring in March of the following year. “(The season) goes ‘til like October, November, gets quiet in January, February, and then it picks up again in the spring.”

Often, the family gets together mid-day to set their traps. That’s when officers from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), as well as RCMP officers, are least likely to come around to check traps, licenses and to make sure nobody is illegally keeping undersized or female crabs.

“We’re here in the afternoon, but if you come in the evening... [RCMP officers] come up here,” Glen said.

“There were two police officers here before, they usually come up before it

gets dark, they come up and check my traps and see what everybody’s up to.

Sometimes there’s a truck over there that’s driving around, they actually patrol it quite a bit,” he said, pointing over to the parking lot that separates Crescent Beach from Blackie Spit.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but Marianne would prefer if the DFO – who know all the rules of fishing and crabbing – would patrol full-time.

Fortunately, after years of trial-anderror and countless hours spent on the dock, the Kennedy’s know their stuff.

They know what they can keep and what they have to throw back.

“They have to be six and a half inches and it needs to be a male crab, it can’t be a female crab. The female has a wider underneath part, it’s like an emblem that’s there,” Marianne said confidently, drawing an invisible V on her palm with her index finger. “The female one is big, the male is just thin.”

Glen said that, a lot of the time, he and his family have to throw back their catches but that, on average, they yield five or six usable crabs per week (the daily limit is six).

Sometimes, however, more than just crabs end up in the trap.

“Every now and then there’ll be a starfish,” Glen said with a laugh, and Marianne was quick to interject. “Last year, we caught a mud shark inside of a cage,” she said. “We pulled it up and had to let it go. It looks like a shark, that’s what broke the cage.”

In all, the Kennedy’s had to reinvest $45 for a new cage and a rope, plus another $28 for their waterproof fishing license. Not a bad deal when, at a seafood restaurant along the beach, you might pay that for just two crabs, sides not included.

South Asian community gets ‘happy’ to spread positivity Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — Need a little happy in your life?

Filmmaker Adam Dosanjh with Triple7Films and actress, model and designer Mesha Toor banded forces to shoot their version of Pharrell Williams’ popular song ‘Happy.’

The goal? To unite the “movers and shakers” of the South Asian community as a means to spread more positivity, happiness and togetherness, recognizing the negativity that exists in the community.

Inspiration for the video came from a similar one done in the U.K., and the two Surreyites wanted to do something in their hometown.

“Most of the people are business people or well-known people in the South Asian community,” Dosanjh said. “We

shot over three days, where we said, ‘Hey, we’re going to be available at this time, pick a slot, we only need you for five minutes, and bring your happy face.’”

Roughly 30 members of the local South Asian community are featured in the video clapping, dancing and showing off their smiles, including Coun. Barinder Rasode and Miss Universe candidate Mina Khtaria.

The project was shot mostly in Surrey, featuring locations such as Newton Town Centre and Surrey Arts Centre.

“We chose Newton just because it also sheds some good light on Newton as well. Newton has been getting a really

bad rap lately. We just wanted to be out there as well,” Dosanjh said.

The initial response has been great, he added, with the video receiving over 3,000 views in just a couple of days.

“A lot of people shared it, a lot of people felt fresh after watching it. It’s inspiring, it’s fun, it’s motivating,” Dosanjh said. “And that’s what we wanted.”

Visit Thenownewspaper.com to check out the video and see the response on Twitter with the hashtag #happyvancouverdesi.

Urban market on the move to plaza at new city hall CITY CENTRE — The plaza at Surrey’s city hall is the new setting for Surrey Urban Farmer’s Market, which gets going for the summer tomorrow afternoon (June 11).

The new location comes with new hours for the market, which now runs from noon to 5 p.m. every Wednesday.

The weekly market was previously held at the causeway outside North Surrey Recreation Centre.

The new location is “pretty exciting,” said Emily Atkinson, the market’s new manager. “It’s a nice open location, and it’s larger, too.… There’s lots of room for growth.”

Each week, an average of 30 vendors will set up for the market, a place for fresh vegetables, meat, baked goods, cheese, ice cream, crafts and more.

Truthful experience by people: < I am calm now in stressful situations!

In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON < I suffered #66 NPN 80041855 greatly from anxiety.

Standard treatments did not make me feel good. So my mother bought Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 and it has been helping me a lot. I am on my 3rd bottle. Remington Fletcher, 19, Ponty Pool, ON < I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help!

Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC <It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results.

Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much. Donna Van Veen, 48, Grand Prairie, AB

Our view

Eyes wide open H

istory has a timely and poetic way of making itself relevant.

On Wednesday, much of the world took time to reflect on the 25th anniversary of the Tianamen Square massacre that saw untold hundreds or possibly thousands of unarmed protesters killed in the name of “restoring calm.”

Lest anyone in China today try to commemorate the tragedy, each year the Chinese government tracks and rounds up dissidents and families of victims and puts them under house arrest.

Just as it crushed the pro-democracy movement with tanks, the Chinese government is determined to crush even the memory of dissent in its population.

Disturbingly, on the same day last week, the Ottawa Citizen revealed a leaked email from the Government Operations Centre to all federal departments asking for “assistance in compiling a comprehensive listing of all known demonstrations” regardless of who is protesting or why.

The agency set up to ensure sharing of information in the event of emergencies like earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns is now apparently also concerned about environmental and First Nations protests and teacher strikes among other threats to social order.

Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms uses the word “fundamental” to describe our rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association. It is part of a healthy democracy, not something to be monitored. It is part of what distinguishes us from totalitarian states like China.

Shame on Ottawa for its willingness to violate the rights of its own citizens to serve its own paranoia.

And shame on us for not speaking up louder to condemn such actions.

We don’t want tourists who feel entitled The Editor, Re: “Cops cruel for ticketing tourists,” the Now letters, June 5.

Aren’t people unbelievable sometimes?

Who does Jennifer Jilks from Perth, Ont. think she is? Does she think that because she’s a “tourist” in B.C. and spends thousands of dollars here she can speed through a playground – where I’m sure there were speed limit signs posted – and get away with this, then go on to slam the RCMP for stopping her and issuing a speeding ticket?

You got caught, Jill. Suck it up and pay the fine – that’s the consequence of speeding in a playground zone, whether you’re here or in Ontario.

Thank God you didn’t kill somebody.

I, for one, don’t want tourists like you coming here believing they’re entitled.

We have enough problems with our own citizens speeding through school and

playground zones who think they’re entitled without tourists believing the same.

Judy Young, Surrey

So, when on vacation, laws don’t apply to us?

The Editor, Re: “Cops cruel for ticketing tourists,” the Now letters, June 5.

I cannot believe Jennifer Jilks had the audacity to write and complain about the speeding ticket she received while on vacation here.

Jennifer, I have a question for you. Just because you “spend thousands of dollars in our part of the world,” does that give you the right to speed through a playground zone? If I spend money in Maui, I guess

that means I should be given immunity for any speeding tickets? I guess when I go on vacation anywhere, I should only receive warnings since I am spending money in that part of the world?

Good for Surrey RCMP for enforcing a playground zone, where so many people forget to slow down. I am sure the $196 ticket is better than having the Surrey RCMP attend for picking up a child off the road.

Teachers dispute

Issues too complex for arbitrator InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

A

s the latest contract dispute involving B.C.’s teachers careens towards the inevitably unsatisfactory conclusion for all involved, it’s worth asking whether another bargaining model should be adopted.

But while it may be worth it to pose the question, it’s far from clear that any alternative exists that is the magic solution that would satisfy all parties.

Take binding arbitration, the most commonly referred to option to the current system. I’ve not heard enthusiasm for this solution from either the employer or the teachers’ union.

The problem with binding arbitration for the parties involved in it is that it can lead to an outcome that is beyond the control of those affected.

For the employer, this can mean a financial arbitration that may greatly exceed its ability to pay, or may have a “domino” effect on other contracts involving other groups of its employees (i.e. other public sector unions) with the total financial impact being substantially higher than anything contemplated in a single set of negotiations.

For a union like the B.C. Teachers Federation, binding arbitration would mean it would have to buy into the notion that its wage proposals (always substantially higher than any other public sector union) would likely have to be scaled back considerably to be treated seriously by an arbitrator.

Of course, prior to 1987, binding arbitration was actually used to settle teachers’ pay (and few other issues).

That was the year the Social Credit government of the day gave the BCTF

impairment, visual impairment, hard of hearing, autism, severe mental illness, mild intellectual disability, moderate mental illness, learning disability and gifted.

The definitions of what constitutes each category are shaped by diagnostic findings of the American Psychology Association and those diagnostic tools are used to diagnose students when their parents or their teacher(s) think it’s necessary to do so.

And some of the definitions can change. Take autism for example. In 2000, about 1,300 kids were diagnosed with autism, and this past year the number was 6,750.

Experts say this phenomenal growth is because much more information has become known about autism, and the diagnostic tools are vastly different now than they were back in 2000.

I’m providing this kind of detail because I think it shows the complexity of the situation may be beyond the skill set of a traditional labour arbitrator. Best to leave the decisions surrounding this issue in the hands of those actually running the system, which means teachers and administrators.

The BCTF has made a compelling argument that more funding is needed to address class composition situations, while the employer has made an equally good case about the need for flexibility in the system.

Hopefully the two sides can still achieve some middle ground in the current dispute.

To accomplish that, they will have to engage in real collective bargaining.

The traditional model hasn’t served teachers well for a number of reasons, but binding arbitration may prove to be no better, at least when it comes to class size and composition issues.

the right to strike, which led to full collective bargaining.

But if binding arbitration was to be used today, it presumably would include many more cost items, not the least of which would be the thorny and expensive issues of class size and class composition.

The fact both parties likely fear that an arbitrator could rule against their self-interest on these issues is another big reason for the lack of enthusiasm for that model.

And frankly, I’m not sure binding arbitration could adequately deal with the class size/composition situation. That’s because it’s a very complex issue, and it’s as much about a philosophical split between the employer and the union as it is about funding.

The BCTF wants fixed rules in place that govern how many special needs students can be in a particular classroom, while the employer argues the system needs flexibility to deal with what can be very complex situations (the employer also argues fixed ratios are actually discriminatory against special needs kids).

The union’s position inevitably translates into more classrooms being created, and therefore more teachers being hired (this fits with the BCTF’s constant struggle for control of the classroom). The employer’s position would presumably not create the same number of classrooms.

Each side exaggerates the merits of its own position – and the dire consequences of the other’s. There’s no question the issues involved are vital, but I wonder if most people even know what is meant by “special needs” when it comes to diagnosing children.

Do people know there are actually 12 “categories” of special needs? They include: physically dependent, deaf or blind, moderate to profound intellectual disability, physical disability and chronic health

Socially speaking Here’s what our Facebook followers were saying about a tourist’s rant concerning a ticket she got from Surrey RCMP for speeding in Surrey.

The Now Newspaper It sounds kind of crazy (because maybe it is) but this letter writer is slamming Surrey cops for ticketing her when she was visiting – and speeding in – our city.

Heather McGowan A warning of the speed limit? Isn't that what the big sign that states the speed limit is for...they have those back East too don't they?

Condescending remark aside...why not admit when you've done something wrong (in this case illegal) and not waste your time blaming others for your mistake. I'd like to thank the Surrey cop for enforcing our laws.

Marni Keeping I agree she should be ticketed. You do the crime, you pay the fine.

Gord Lamont Do you break the Law in your town Stephanie Turner I'm sorry but what a moron!! Perhaps when travelling you should learn to follow the laws of that city/country.

Pretty sure all of North America has speed signs. Glad she got ticketed, maybe next time when she's a tourist she will keep cities safer by slowing down!!

Niamh Kavanagh Sometimes you just can't get the stupid out of people Katrina Larsen Almost as bad as the lady who was mad she got a ticket for using her phone when she was not texting or talking, she was just loading a web page.

Jenni-lynn Hewitt I know I laughed at that one as well. Are you kidding me?

Looking a website? You are still being distracted you idiot. Another thing that irritates me is people who drive with their headphones in their ears. how could you hear if people were trying to warn you, if there was a crash, or if emergency services were needing you to move out of the way etc.

Tourist’s disregard for kids’ safety is mind-boggling

The Editor, Re: “Cops cruel for ticketing tourists,” the Now letters, June 5.

Dear Jennifer Jilks: Thank you for being so insensitive to the possibility of killing one of our children in a playground zone. No matter what the jurisdiction, perhaps your disregard for people’s safety is something you should address – soon!

Your sense of entitlement would suggest that another citation from the OPP and a review of your driving record by your insurance carrier would be in order. Our speed-limit signs, like yours, are not recommended minimums.

Gordon E. Swanson, Surrey

Whiny tourist should stay away from Surrey The Editor, Re: “Cops cruel for ticketing tourists,” the Now letters, June 5.

I am sorry to hear that this person is upset to be given a speeding ticket while passing

a playground. This can be easily resolved in the future – if she never comes back to Surrey.

Thank you.

Jim Stewart, Surrey

Coal facility seems to be done deal already The Editor, It is really disconcerting to hear that Penny Priddy is probably the only voice of reason on the board of directors of Port Metro Vancouver. The other 10 most likely obey the dictates of their raison d’etre, the government in Ottawa, without concern for the local citizenry who will be impacted by their decisions.

Why do I get this gut feeling, they have been told that no matter how long it takes or how many hoops you have to jump through, eventually you must approve the coal transfer station at Fraser Surrey Docks?

Ignore the fact the Americans have refused to ship this U.S. thermal coal through its ports, open coal cars and barges impacting

our environment and being a significant contributor to pollution in China, to say nothing of global warming. It truly would be a miracle if they had the courage to refuse to approve the permit application..

I wonder if this is printed, will it get me on Mr. Harper’s recently revealed “naughty list”? And here I thought Canada was a democracy. Silly me.

David Gibbs, Surrey

Government’s actions show such hypocrisy The Editor, So let me try to wrap my brain around this one: The government locks teachers out. This means it won’t allow teachers to do any work at lunch and recess.

The government also won’t let teachers physically in the school until 45 minutes before school starts, and teachers are forced to leave school premises only 45 minutes after school ends. It also ruled that teachers are not allowed to do any school work at home.

OK, got that.

Then, at the same time, the government docks teachers’ pay 10 per cent, defending its actions by saying teachers are not doing their jobs.

It’s lunacy – and shows such hypocrisy.

Speaking of hypocrisy, here’s a real barn burner for you: Did you know that the same private school the premier sends her child to also receives funding from the province?

Yep. That’s a two-tiered education system, people, both of which the government funds using taxpayer money.

So, dear public, when you start complaining about having to buy a pack of computer paper from your kid’s school supply list again (which is used to help supplement the “never-big-enough” paper budget in the school), don’t complain to me.

Buy the darn paper.

And remember that no matter what you think of teachers, your taxes (which are supposed to support your kids’ public and “free” education) are also supplementing Christy Clark’s son’s private education.

The joke’s on every B.C. taxpayer. Too bad it just isn’t funny.

Local student leads walkout Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SURREY — Thousands of students across the province walked out of class Wednesday morning to take part in their own protest over the current teacher dispute.

Organized by Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary student Victoria Barker on Facebook and officially dubbed the BC Student Walkout for Students, the protest was meant to display students’ frustration with the current climate in B.C. schools.

While more than 13,000 people signed up to participate online, participation reported online appeared to be less than that.

Either way, Barker was still happy to see students taking a stand for their own interests.

“This has been going on my entire school life and I finally got to the point where I thought ‘enough was enough’ and it’s time to do something,” said Barker, who’s currently in Grade 12 and getting ready to graduate. “When I was in Grade 4 there was a two-week teacher strike and in Grade 10 a few years ago there were three more days that teachers were out and then here we are again.”

Barker, who stood down the street from her school Wednesday, June 4 with around 30 fellow classmates holding signs decrying the labour dispute, went on to say that students are sick of being used as leverage by both sides of the dispute.

“We’re neither in support of the BCTF or the government,” she said. “We’re just frustrated and need this to end.”

At the same time, Barker was receiving messages, Tweets and Facebook messages from students in school districts from all around B.C., reporting in about how their own protests were going.

Deal for school support workers

Several hundred demonstrators rallied outside Education Minister Peter Fassbender’s office on Fraser Highway in Surrey on Saturday as part of the ongoing dispute between teachers and the provincial government. See more photos online, and also look there for the latest on the teachers’ strike vote. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) In some districts, Barker noted that some students had been physically blocked from walking out by school administration, while other students elsewhere were saying that everything was going well.

In Surrey, district spokesman Doug Strachan said there was no direct message to local administration on how to deal with the walkout, only to ensure that safety was the first priority.

“It’s skipping class, that’s all, but they need to take some steps to make sure they’re safe, so they will,” he said.

At Lord Tweedsmuir, those safety measures involved locking most of the school’s doors to ensure they could keep track of those leaving and returning to class.

“For safety reasons, students would have been directed to the front main entrance so we could control access and egress while students were coming and going,” said Strachan, noting that it was standard

SURREY — The Canadian Union of Public Employees representing education support workers has reached a tentative agreement that, if ratified, features a 5.5 per cent wage increase over five years, more hours for education assistants and a better health plan.

The tentative agreement was reached with the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) on Saturday. CUPE represents education support workers in 53 school districts throughout B.C. This includes education assistants, secretaries, caretakers, First Nations support workers, IT workers, Strong Start facilitators, trades and maintenance workers, and bus drivers.

procedure for some schools.

However, some students have said they were being intimidated by principals and administrators – including those at Lord Tweedsmuir.

Strachan said the students were simply misinterpreting the safety procedures.

“That might be what they’re saying, we’re doing what we need to do to ensure safety.

Administrators have been telling students that the main entrance is what is to be used to come and go,” he said. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Officer in Charge Awards honour 66 heroes Now contributor @kristialexandra

SURREY — Sixty-six heroic people were recognized for their actions with the Officer in Charge Awards on Wednesday, June 4 at the Surrey Arts Centre.

“Every year I look forward to this opportunity to publicly acknowledge the many acts of heroism and dedication displayed by the men and women of our detachment and community,” said Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy. “I am very proud to honour officers and citizens who acted courageously and went that extra mile for our community.”

Man arrested after Whalley standoff WHALLEY — A 23-year-old Surrey man was arrested Sunday evening after a police emergency response team was called to a house in Whalley.

Police were doing a traffic stop at 138A Street and 104A Avenue at about 6 p.m.

Sunday when three men bailed out of an idling Mercedes and ran into a house nearby. Police said the driver eventually gave himself up and was arrested for prohibited driving. Meanwhile, officers searched the car and found a gun.

The other two men are still unaccounted for.

Driver hurt after huge rock hits bus CLOVERDALE — Police are trying to figure out if somebody chucked a golf ball-sized rock at a transit bus Sunday morning, or if it hit the windshield by mishap.

Paramedics treated the driver for a small cut about his eye after he was truck by a piece of glass while passengers disembarked from the 502 Surrey Central Station bus and boarded another bus. The incident happened at 176th Street and Fraser Highway.

Search for Surrey boater called off

Surrey

Kristi Alexandra

Briefly

Among the 66 officers, civilians, support staff and volunteers who received honours were brave young ones, 12-year-old Genevieve Marcotte and nine-year-old John Marcotte, who saved their siblings from a house fire last November.

When a sparking dryer caused the Marcotte’s home to go up in smoke while the parents were out running errands, John gathered his siblings and brought them to his older sister, Genevieve, who – having recently finished the babysitting certificate course – instructed her younger siblings to crawl down the stairs backwards, safely exiting the house, and to seek refuge at their neighbour Tomislav Bagaric’s home. Bagaric

then went back into the Marcotte’s home, attempting to put out the fire, emptying two full fire extinguishers. Bagaric, along with the two young Marcotte siblings, also received the OIC award for his brave actions and allowing the children to stay at his home while the fire blazed next door.

“Genevieve’s calm, decisive and heroic actions saved her family from a potentially dangerous situation,” Fordy said, before awarding her the OIC commendation.

Fordy also commended Bagaric as he “went beyond the scope of being a good neighbour.”

NORTH DELTA — The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a boater who fell overboard near the Alex Fraser Bridge on Saturday night.

What happened to the 37-year-old Surrey man, whose name has not been released, is unknown. Delta Police Sgt. Sarah Swallow said police located 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.

“Alcohol does not appear to be a factor,” Swallow said. “However the missing man was not wearing a life jacket and was unable to swim.”

Rasode opens ‘community hub’ Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — While Coun. Barinder Rasode hasn’t confirmed whether she’ll run as a mayoral candidate or as a councillor in November’s election, she says either way, she’ll let the concerns of the people develop her platform.

Rasode opened a “community hub” on Saturday, intended to be a gathering place for people to connect, host events, showcase local art and have conversations about concerns in the city.

“To build on the work and the relationship that has existed over the years in Surrey with the community associations and residents and business associations, I want to provide a place to not only gather, but a place for creativity and dialogue,” Rasode said. “I want to hear from residents what their priorities and concerns are, in terms of developing what a platform will be for November.”

Rasode also plans to take the concept out on the streets for what she’s calling a

“listening tour.”

“We’re also going to do a pop-up presence,” she said. “It’s creating a presence going to listen to people where they are: So whether it’s walking on the beach on a Sunday or sitting in a park, and just listening.

“I think that’s really valuable.”

Rasode said she doesn’t think platforms should be “developed in a boardroom,” but rather, “by the people.”

She plans to run her “listening tour” throughout the summer.

At the hub, located at #103-15385 Highway 10, Rasode plans to hold events every Wednesday night. A weekly schedule will be posted on the Surrey Community Hub Facebook page.

Music performances are planned, as well as a hack-a-thon and a variety of other events. And Rasode said community groups are welcome to use the space for meetings.

“I want people to have a place to gather, to connect and to have open conversations,” she said. “It just felt like a natural thing to do.”

INFORM In court

Murder suspect declined lawyer, officer testifies Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

NEW WEST— A Surrey woman accused of stabbing her best friend 41 times declined to speak with a lawyer after she was arrested for murder, despite Surrey RCMP officers repeatedly asking her if she wanted access to legal counsel.

“Aren’t lawyers really for guilty people?” Jessica Ashley Hanley inquired of the arresting officers, in Surrey RCMP lockup.

Hanley, 25, is being tried for second-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Burnaby resident Tashina Rae Sutherland, killed inside a small rancher at 10593 138th St. in Whalley on April 26, 2012.

The trial is being heard in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Dominating this past week was a voir dire hearing, or a trial within a trial. In such hearings lawyers argue over what should be admitted into evidence.

Justice Elizabeth ArnoldBailey will have to decide if she should admit three statements that Hanley made to police over eleven and a half hours of interviews as evidence in the trial proper, or disabuse her mind of them.

The Crown is seeking to prove these statements were made voluntarily while the Hanley’s lawyer maintains his client’s Charter Rights had been violated.

Earlier in the trial, Hanley’s boyfriend told the court his place looked like a hurricane had hit it, after coming home from work to find Sutherland’s body.

The court also heard from Hanley’s dad Thomas Patrick Hanley, who brought her to the Surrey RCMP’s District 1 office in Whalley to be arrested.

During crossexamination, Hanley’s father told the court that she hid kitchen knives in her room when she was a young girl.

“She would place it under her mattress in her bed,”

Jessica Hanley

he testified. “We’re talking about steak and butcher knives.”

The first witness in the voir dire was Surrey RCMP Const. David Macdonald.

On the afternoon of the homicide, he said, he was standing outside of the District 1 office at 107th Avenue and King George Boulevard at about 5:30 p.m., speaking with colleagues, when Hanley’s father walked up, and tapped him on his shoulder.

He said the elder Hanley told him “his daughter had confessed to him she had murdered somebody.”

Hanley was standing nearby, Macdonald said, “sobbing uncontrollably.”

Macdonald said he handcuffed Hanley and led her into an interview room inside the Whalley station, where he “formally Chartered and warned her for murder.”

Hanley could be heard sobbing in an interview room video played in court.

On the tape she could be heard saying, “I don’t need a f---ing lawyer, OK,” and “I didn’t kill her.”

Asked if she knew what was going on, Hanley replied “My best friend died I get that OK?” Macdonald then drove her to the Surrey RCMP’s main detachment station in Newton. This trip was also audiotaped.

Hanley was in the back seat, mostly silent but occasionally crying. She told the officer she did some cocaine the night before and drank alcohol in the morning. She also nodded off in the patrol car, Macdonald said.

Defence lawyer Jordan Watt suggested that Hanley was hysterical but the officer didn’t agree.

“I’ve seen hysterical,” Macdonald told the court.

Hanley was the first person Macdonald had arrested for murder – a task he has performed since.

At the time, he’d been a Mountie for three-anda-half years. He told the court he was closer to senior constable than junior constable status, as a constable receives senior constable pay at four years.

“It’s not that I work in a sleepy town,” he noted.

Const. Eric Kim testified that he believes Hanley understood why she was being arrested.

“I don’t believe she was confused on why she was there,” he told the court.

Cpl. Alison Cameron, a forensic identification officer, testified Hanley “didn’t appear to be intoxicated She certainly appeared sad.”

The trial continues. tzytaruk@thenow newspaper.com

The City of Surrey adopted an Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors at a council meeting May 26.

The strategy identifies a framework for an age-friendly city, including a vision, four defined outcome streams, and recommendations for action.

The vision of the Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors is designed “to create a city where people can enjoy being actively engaged for life.”

The document focuses on four key outcomes: safety, health and wellness; transportation and mobility; housing, and buildings and outdoor spaces.

Strategies to achieve these outcomes include: • Programs and services: A continuum of programs and services from prevention to intervention made available for all seniors, including at-risk and vulnerable seniors.

• Engagement with seniors: Engaging seniors in a respectful way to play a role in achieving agefriendly outcomes.

• Collaboration with partners:

Cover of the Surrey’s “Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors” document.

Collaboration with partners to offer programs and services that benefit seniors.

• Communication and promotion: Multi-lingual and multi-modal communication and promotion to seniors to raise awareness of issues and provide information about services and programs.

“Seniors represent a very important and valued part of Surrey’s community,” said Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. “They bring a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience that enriches the lives of all our residents.

It is vitally important that they are continually empowered to be actively engaged in our community for life.”

Added Coun. Barbara Steele, who chairs the city’s Seniors Advisory and Accessibility Committee: “The city’s Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors provides an excellent framework for working together to ensure Surrey’s community of seniors are supported.

“This strategy is another example of successful collaboration and effective consultation amongst community stakeholders in efforts to create an effective approach to agefriendly planning in Surrey.”

The complete Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors, a 38-page document that includes a profile of Surrey seniors and much more, can be found at Surrey.ca/files/ AgeFriendlyStrategyForSeniors.pdf.

Dear Laurie: As far as we know, there are no restrictions in any retirement residence on overnight guests, provided they are respectful of other residents. At the Peninsula, there are two fully appointed guest suites and there is also the option of having a cot and linen brought to your

suite. Some of your panel members have our own pull out bed to accommodate grandchildren for the weekend, and enjoy having them join us in the dining room so we can introduce them to our friends. And it is great fun to share our home with relatives from out of country; giving them a taste of our lifestyle at exercise classes, movies in our theatre, pub socials, and on the bus trip. We were even able to host the family reunion in the private dining room. Of course you would have to check specifically with the residence in question about their policies, but you should be able to have your sister and grandchildren stay over with you, as you do now, but with less work to you, and with access to fun activities you can share in. - the Residents

Briefly

Surrey selected to host 2016 water polo nationals Water Polo Canada announced Monday that Surrey is one of four cities chosen to host Canadian championship events over the next two years.

Previously held as single-weekend events, the national championships will now be played out from November through May in a series of regular season and playoff games, culminating in the annual national finals.

Surrey joins Calgary, Montreal and Etobicoke as national venues.

“The next editions of our Championships will have a very special significance because there will now be a massive buildup and progression over seven months of play in the new National League,” said Water Polo Canada’s director of domestic development, Jeffrey Lindell, in a press release.

“This complete redesign of our competition structure has been called a game changer for our sport.”

Surrey will host three events in the spring of 2016. The city will stage the 19-and-under East/West Crossover Tournament April 21 to 24, 2016, followed by the 14-and-under Western National Championship April 29 to May 1.

From May 6 to 8, Surrey will play host to the 16-and-under Western Conference Championships.

A committee of the national sport federation has selected the winning bids following a revised process this year, which aimed to increase value and positive outcomes for all parties involved in the events.

The long-standing National Championships

are the flagship domestic events for water polo in Canada and bring together water polo athletes, coaches and officials each year.

Athletes honoured Five Surrey high school were honoured with scholarships and bursaries valued at $1,500 when the Surrey Secondary Schools Athletic Association staged their annual general meeting and awards banquet last week. ❚ The Norman O. Barton Memorial Scholarship, for candidates who fully display the all-around qualities exemplified by Surrey’s first supervisor of physical education, was awarded to Kyle McComb of Fraser Heights Secondary. ❚ The Glenn Young Scholarship, for candidates who successfully combine academics, leadership and service to physical education and athletics in their school, was awarded to Keesha Khehra of North Surrey Secondary. ❚ The Big Kahuna Athletic Leadership Scholarship, for candidates who demonstrate leadership and service to athletics in their school, was awarded to Austin Thornton of Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. ❚ The Surrey 2012 B.C. Summer Games Bursaries, for candidates who participated in a BC Summer Games and is currently training and/or competing in a summer games sport, was awarded to rugby player Byron Keturakis of Earl Marriott Secondary and dressage rider Lindsay Stuart of Elgin Park Secondary.

INFORM Retail store

Zellers to close at Semiahmoo mall Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SOUTH SURREY — The Zellers store at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre is closing.

The store’s closure has been confirmed by Brian Kozak, executive vicepresident of western Canada for First Capital Realty, which owns the mall.

“We can’t explain why Hudson’s Bay would decide to close the Zellers after saying they were going to keep (it) operating,” he said.

“You’d have to ask Hudson’s Bay (Company) why they made that decision.”

The Semiahmoo Zellers was one of the few locations not purchased by Target when the retail giant made its move north of the border.

In early 2013, HBC decided to keep the site open as one of only three left in Canada.

At that time, Tiffany Bourré, director of external communications for HBC said, “After a review of the site locations not acquired by Target, Zellers has decided to continue to operate three stores beyond March 2013 under the

Zellers name.

“Zellers will redefine the store format to focus on fashion apparel and a refined home product offering, with a shared merchandise mix with other HBC banners.”

The two other Zellers locations are in Montreal and Toronto.

Bourré did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

However, Kozak said they were actually pleased about HBC deciding to pull the plug, as it now opens up the space for other retail opportunities.

“We’re actually quite happy that we’re going to be getting that space back and going to be able to re-merchandise the space with uses which we think will be of greater benefit and a greater draw for not only the shopping centre but the community as a whole,” he said.

Kozak said he was not at liberty to say what those other uses might be at this point, but “certainly they will be much bigger traffic generators than what you see currently with the Zellers store.”

SOUTH SURREY — Hundreds of car lovers made a pit-stop in Morgan Crossing to see rows of Camaros and Mustangs on Sunday (June 8).

The sun was shining on aisles of parked vintage, muscle and sports cars as The Shops at Morgan Crossing held the fifth annual Morgan Crossing Car and Motorcycle Show.

Proceeds went to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. Theresa Robson, the society’s executive director, said the society enjoys putting on third-party events.

“It’s a hospice society supporter out in the community. In this case,

it’s The Shops at Morgan Crossing, and they take it upon themselves to put together all of the work and organizing and sponsorships,” Robson said.

She appreciates what The Shops do to set up the event and also hopes that it brings awareness to what the society does.

“It takes up the whole parking lot between Thrifty’s and London Drugs.

They shut down that whole parking lot because it’s going to be filled with these amazing cars and motorcycles.

“It’s always an amazing awareness chance for a hospice society,” Robson said.

Splashes, a South Surrey car wash and detail company, was one of the sponsors at the show. Ryan Oliver,

one of the owners at Splashes, and his team came up with the idea of offering $10 vouchers to Splashes for anyone who donates $5 to the hospice society.

Splashes is located approximately three kilometres away from The Shops, and Oliver believes that local businesses have a vital role to play in community events.

“It’s a huge amount of effort for us to do things like this. There’s a lot of cost involved but it’s right up the street, it’s a car show, we’re a car company and it’s for a good cause,” Oliver said.

“Even though it doesn’t start until 11, people are excited and start showing up at eight o’clock in the morning,” Oliver added.

Laser Therapy

Treat the cause of pain, not just the symptoms.

P

atients are constantly leaving LaserHealth® Solutions with a huge smile on their face, wondering why they didn’t come to the clinic sooner. Prior to treatment, smiles are rare when -

sciatica, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, arthritis and whiplash. The pain from these conditions takes the joy right out of life.

Linda, a patient at LaserHealth® Solutions, had been severely injured in a car accident.

She initially resisted going for treatment but eventually gave in to her husband’s prodding. It didn’t take long for her to realize that this was the place that could help her. Because it worked for her cervical pain, Linda went back to the clinic when she experienced other conditions. One of these was frozen shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis.
