Police now seeking witnesses after ‘horrific’ attack in Whalley
by Kevin Diakiw
WHEN HE walked past the end of Whalley’s noto-
rious “strip” on 135A Street near 106 Avenue last week, he saw her chained to a tree, moaning, trying with a weak voice to call for help. Ken Smith knew Janice well, but he barely recognized the 43-year-old Surrey woman because of the violent beating she appeared to have suffered.

City enters fight with cancer centre smokers Surrey passes bylaw banning smoking from hospital property by Kevin Diakiw EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
Cancer patient and anti-smoking protester Glen Morris holds a sign outside Fraser Valley Centre at Surrey Memorial Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
A GREY HAZE of cigarette smoke still covers the
entrances to Surrey Memorial Hospital and its cancer clinic – despite a new Surrey bylaw prohibiting smoking anywhere on the property. The bylaw amendment, passed by council on Mon-
day night, carries a $100 fine for people caught smoking anywhere on hospital property. However on Tuesday, hospital security was more interested in evicting protesters and media than quelling the smoke.
