Punjab demands apology from Canada over Komagata Maru tragedy Punjab Assembly unanimously passed resolution on Wednesday seeking an apology from Canadian government for not allowing a ship 'Komagata Maru', with Indians onboard, to enter Vancouver port and forcing it to return to India, where Britishers shot 19 innocent people from Punjab and imprisoned many others in 1914. In the resolution passed on the concluding day of the Budget session said: “The Indian government should seek an apology from Canadian government in Canadian Parliament for the atrocities committed by them on Indian people as they have apologised to Chinese and Japanese people for inhuman behaviour meted out to them." Introducing the resolution, Punjab Parliamentary Affairs minister Madan Mohan Mittal said: "Canadian government did not allow a ship with Indians on board, seeking freedom of the country to enter Vancouver port and forced it to return to India. When ship reached Bajbaj port of Calcutta on September 29, 1914, British Government shot down 19 freedom fighters and put many behind prison cells." The House unanimously demands that Indian government should ask Canadian government that Canadian Parliament should apologise for that "inhuman" Act, he said. Asking the Parliament to also pass such a resolution, senior Congress MLA

SAD MLA Gurpartap Singh Wadala supporting the resolution said a memorial should be constructed in the memory of Komagata Maru martyrs. He said Canadian Parliament should emulate the example of Canadian State British Columbia, which had apologised for this tragedy. — PTI

PM Harper to welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada April 14, 15 and 16 and former Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal said collective efforts should be to made to enure the issue is taken up by the Canadian Parliament when it sits in April this year. Education Minister Daljeet Singh Cheema said he would request Chief Minister to pursue the issue with the Centre. Calling upon MLAs to raise this issue unanimously rising above the petty political, SAD MLA and Minister Bikram Singh Majithia appealed to Treasury as well as opposition members not to politicise the martyrdom of the 19 people who died but raise a united voice so that Canada Parliament was forced to apologise, adding that it would be the befitting trib-

ute to those unknown martyrs who laid down their lives for nation.

Co-pilot suspected of deliberately crashing Germanwings jet BY TIM HEPHER AND JEAN-FRANCOIS ROSNOBLET (Reuters)-A young German co-pilot barricaded himself alone in the cockpit of Germanwings flight 9525 and apparently set it on course to crash into an Alpine mountain, killing all 150 people on board including himself, French prosecutors said on Thursday. They offered no motive for why Andreas Lubitz, 27, would take the controls of the Airbus A320, lock the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately set it veering down from cruising altitude at 3,000 feet per minute. German police searched his home for evidence that might offer some explanation for what was behind Tuesday's crash in the French Alps. The scenario stunned the aviation world. Within hours of the prosecutors' announcement, several airlines responded by immediately changing their

rules to require a second crew member to be in the cockpit at all times. That is already compulsory in the United States but not in Europe. Canada said it would now require it of all its airlines. EasyJet, Norwegian Air Shuttle and Air Berlin were among other carriers that swiftly announced such policies. Among those that didn't was Germanwings parent company Lufthansa, whose CEO said he thought it was unnecessary. But the airline came under swift pressure on social media to make such a change and later said it would discuss it with others in the industry. French and German officials said there was no indication Lubitz was a terrorist but offered no rival theories to explain his actions. Acquaintances described him as an affable young man who had given no sign of harmful intent. Lubitz acted "for a reason we cannot

fathom right now but which looks like intent to destroy this aircraft", Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said. Setting the plane's controls for rapid descent was an act that "could only have been voluntary", Robin said. “He had... no reason to stop the pilot-in-command from coming back into the cockpit. He had no reason to refuse to answer to the air controller who was alerting him on the loss of altitude." The captain, who had stepped out of the cockpit, probably to use the toilet, could be heard on flight recordings trying to force his way back in. "You can hear banging to try to smash the door down," Robin said. Most of the passengers would not have been aware of their fate until the very end, he said: "Only toward the end do you hear screams," he said. "And bear in mind that death would have been instantaneous...the aircraft was literally smashed to bits."

Abbotsford cops warn public about three South Asian men By Kim Bolan Continued from page 01 Following a public warning by Surrey RCMP in the aftermath of several shootings last week, police in Abbotsford have followed suit and identified three men believed to pose a public risk. The trio, including a man who had been facing a murder charge in a gangland slaying, “pose a risk of significant harm to the safety of the community and anyone who may associate with them,” Sgt. Casey Vinet said in a release. He named Jimi Sandhu, who recently had a murder charged against him stayed, as well as Sandeep Sidhu and Gavin Grewal, and released photographs of the three men. He said all three “are involved in an ongoing conflict and a criminal lifestyle that includes violence, drugs, and

weapons.” “We believe it is in the public’s best interest that the identities of these men are known so people associating with or in close physical proximity to them understand their safety could be in danger,” Vinet said. “Efforts to curtail growing tensions between these individuals are being made but we are very concerned that violence could occur in public settings.” Sandhu, 25, had been charged in the fatal stabbing of Red Scorpion gang leader Matthew Campbell. But the charge was dropped last month and Sandhu was released from pre-trial custody. Police also warned about Sandeep Singh Sidhu, 27, and Gavinder Singh Grewal, 25. Vinet said all three men have had “extensive police contact.”

Sandhu has two convictions for assault with weapon and possession of an unauthorized prohibited or restricted weapon. He is prohibited from possessing firearms. Sidhu has three convictions for aggravated assault and is currently charged with two counts of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He is prohibited from possessing firearms. Grewal has a criminal conviction for extortion and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He is prohibited from possessing firearms. Anyone with information about the activities of the men is asked to call Abbotsford police at 604-859-5225.

FBI to track hate crimes against Sikhs, Hindus The US has included hate crimes against Hindus, Sikhs and Arab Americans in the tracking list of the FBI, meeting the long-pending demand of the minority communities who have been repeatedly targeted post 9/11. The updated Hate Crimes Training Manual by the Department of Justice is the first new release since the FBI agreed to begin tracking hate crimes against Hindu Americans, Sikh Americans and Arab Americans in 2013. The manual came amid increasing incidents of anti-Hindu hate crimes across the country, including several incidents of attacks and vandalism against Hindu temples. The decision has been welcomed by top American lawmakers and minority community organisations who had been demanding this for the past several years. — PTI

PM Harper to welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada Ottawa-Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, will visit Canada from April 14 to 16, 2015, making stops in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver. This will be Prime Minister Modi’s bilateral visit to Canada – his first since taking office – will provide an opportunity for the leaders to reaffirm the close relationship between Canada and India and to discuss ways to further broaden its scope. “Canada and India enjoy a close friendship based on shared values of democracy, pluralism and a mutual interest in expanding trade. India’s growing economy presents enormous opportunities for Canada and I look forward to meeting with Prime Minister Modi to further strengthen bilateral relations and expand our trade and investment ties with a view to benefitting citizens of both countries,” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The plans are under way to Prime Minster Modi to visit Khalsa Diwan Society Sikh Temple in Vancouver and Surrey’s Laxmi Narayan Mandir. Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be hosting a state dinner for the Indian PM.

Government taking control of professional standards for teachers in B.C. The B.C. government is planing to introduce new education standards which can take some of the control away from the teachers’ union, and giving itself new powers to force school districts into shared service agreements. Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act (2015) will help school districts reduce overhead costs, establish a modern framework for teacher professional development and put a stronger focus on accountability for student outcomes, Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced today. “British Columbians expect our K-12 system to be run efficiently, that teachers and students have the supports they need, and that everyone is focussed on what matters most - student learning. That’s what these amendments are all about.” said Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education “British Columbia has one of the best education systems in the world, but we can’t just sit back. We need to pursue new, innovative approaches that promise better results for students. Proposed amendments to the School Act, the Independent School Act and the Teachers Act are focussed on four objectives: Building a framework for continuing professional development; Facilitating delivery of shared services among school districts; Improving the accountability framework for student learning; and

Aligning the provisions on the disclosure of student data with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. It is common practice in many professions to set standards for ongoing professional development. Currently, there are no detailed requirements for certified teachers to maintain currency of practice. The proposed amendments to the Teachers Act will provide the minister with the authority to establish a more robust framework. Working with the profession, the goal is to enhance public confidence that certified teachers have access to, and are regularly participating in, high-quality professional development aimed at improving student achievement. Boards of education have been tasked with finding administrative savings and efficiencies, similar to what has occurred in the health and postsecondary sectors. Amendments to the

School Act will provide boards with clear authority to enter into shared service or alternative service delivery agreements with other boards or public sector entities. To maximize the opportunities and benefits, the changes also provide the Minister with the authority to require boards to participate in specific service delivery arrangements. School districts are currently required to produce a series of annual reports to ensure they are accountable for local student achievement. In recent years it has become clear the K-12 system would benefit from more meaningful and flexible approaches. Amendments to the School Act will remove inflexible language and processes and replace them with more targeted, co-constructed approaches to enhance the system-wide focus on student learning. The use and analysis of high-quality data is essential to improving K-12 programs and operations and monitoring the impact of new curriculum and other learning innovations. Amendments will align the School Act with more current provisions and safeguards found in the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. This will allow the ministry to disclose and use student data to improve the K-12 system while protecting personal privacy consistent with standards across the B.C. public sector, including health and social services.

Two men arrested in separate sexual assault incidents Metro Vancouver-Two men have been arrested by Metro Vancouver Transit Police for separate incidents of sexual assault on Transit. Incident #1 On March 2, 2015, at 8:00 am, a passenger witnessed the sexual assault of another passenger on bus route 33 travelling from the 29th Avenue SkyTrain Station to UBC. The witness advised the bus operator, who called Transit Police, but the suspect got off the bus shortly afterwards in the 2100 block of Westbrook Mall. The victim and witness were both interviewed, with the witness advising that the

same suspect had sexually assaulted her in the same manner (groping of leg and thigh) 3 to 4 weeks earlier on the same bus route, but she had felt too frightened to report it at the time. Investigations were initiated into both incidents. On March 17, 2015, the witness to the March 2nd event advised police that she was on the Route 33 bus and the suspect was also on board. Police attended the 2200 block West 16th Avenue and removed the suspect from the bus, placing him under arrest. The suspect was later released on a Promise to Appear in Vancouver

Provincial Court on April 29, 2015 and on an Undertaking Given to a Peace Officer with conditions not to be found on any Coast Mountain Bus, any SeaBus or any SkyTrain or Canada Line train. He is a 57 year old Vancouver man, not previously known to police. The victim of the March 2nd event is an ESL student from Japan who is returning home shortly. She has no plans to return to Vancouver which has caused Crown Counsel to decide that charges relating to her incident cannot be approved. The earlier event in which the witness from March 2nd was actually the victim, is

being processed with a charge of Sexual Assault pending. Incident #2 On March 20, 2015, shortly after 8:00 am, a woman on the SkyTrain at the Marine Drive Station felt her buttocks being cupped from behind. She turned and yelled at the suspect to get away from her and get off the train, which he did. The victim continued on to Yaletown Station where she reported the incident to Transit Police. An alert Transit Police dispatcher recognized the suspect description as being that of a man who is a repeat sexual offender on the transit system and advised the

Vancouver police investigate Yaletown stabbing

Vancouver Police are investigating a Yaletown stabbing that sent one man to hospital with serious injuries. Shortly before 9 p.m., police were called to the KiBo Restaurant and Lounge located at 1261 Hamilton Street for a report of a stabbing. When officers arrived, they found a 35-year-old man who was suffering from serious injuries. He was taken to hospital, where he remains in stable condition. Police are looking for one man who fled the restaurant. Detectives from the Vancouver Police Major Crime Section have been called to the scene and the investigation is ongoing.

VPD issue 1500 tickets to distracted drivers Vancouver Police officers have written 1500 distracted driving tickets since the launch of the Provincial Distracted Driving campaign on March 1st. While most drivers are leaving their phones alone, some are still making the choice to use one while behind the wheel. “This high number is disappointing,” says Acting Inspector Ken Eng of the VPD Traffic Section. “We have seen first-hand the consequences of distracted driving. Leave your phone alone and pay attention to the road. No call or text is worth that kind of risk.” During the campaign, officers have stepped up enforcement on distracted driving. An average of 88 people are killed every year in B.C. because of distracted driving, which makes it the second leading cause of car crash fatalities in the province.

Guest Editorial A booster shot for vaccines The entirely preventable outbreak of measles that originated at Disneyland in December has now infected 173 people in 17 U.S. states, according to the most recent statistics. Add to that 136 (at last count) in Quebec’s Lanaudière region after a single family that opposes vaccination on religious grounds brought it home from their Magic Kingdom vacation and spread it to their community. Now an infected child who went to school might have brought the disease to a wider population. The proliferation of measles, mumps, rubella and other infections once considered eradicated has reignited debate about the rights of those who refuse to inoculate their children for a variety of personal reasons versus those of society as a whole. The lowering of herd immunity, because vaccination rates are no longer high enough to protect young babies and the immuno-suppressed, has sparked urgent discussion among policy-makers about how to address the problem. A study recently released by the C.D. Howe Institute found Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador rely on nurses to approach and educate families of newborns about vaccines, as well as administer the shots. Both keep registries of those who accept and refuse vaccination, but Newfoundland and Labrador has a greater over-all vaccination rate, likely due to rigorous followup among a smaller population. Ontario requires children to have up-to-date immunizations to attend school, but parents can opt out if they complete paperwork to obtain an exemption. This also provides a snapshot of immunization rates, although belatedly. If we’ve learned anything from the last three months of measles spreading, it’s that good data are valuable and rare. Not only does this information, if properly tracked, give health authorities the ability to reach fence-sitters who may not be immunizing their children out of forgetfulness or inertia, but it also

Facebook makes it easier to embed its videos anywhere on web Social networking site Facebook will now allow videos on its platform to be embedded across the web. According to The Verge, users can now copy an embed code, place it in a menu at the bottom of the video and it will show up in a new and functional player. Facebook had been chasing advertisers and publishers lately and adding support for embeds, which would spread videos outside its own platform. The move is a critical step taken by the social media platform towards building a video presence.

The company is also set to introduce support for 360-degree videos within its native video player. These videos will allow viewers to look around the world in all directions while the video is playing. The news came after YouTube launched support for 360-degree videos very recently. Although video hosting features offered by Facebook have never really posed a competition to YouTube yet, speculations are rife that with a little work, they may put up a tough contest for Google’s video-sharing website.

New documentary reveals Adolf Hitler was meth addict A new documentary has indicated that Adolf Hitler consumed a cocktail of different drugs including tranquillisers, morphine and crystal meth during the Second World War. The hard-hitting documentary analysed Hitler’s declassified documents and suggested that behind closed doors the German politician was a nervous wreck, News.com.au reported. Professor Sir Richard Evans from Cambridge University said that Hitler’s personal physician, Dr Theodore Morell showed no genuine interest in politics and was not a suitable person to be in the entourage of Hitler because he was simply not ideological.

According to the documentary, when Morell started treating Hitler for stress, he used a method derived from the ancient world in which he applied leeches to the leader’s temples and with the leeches failing to show any long term success, he started medicating Hitler with the same drugs used by vets to put animals to sleep. The documentary narrator asserted that Hitler, like many of the Germans used an early form of crystal meth called Pervitin. The documentary will replay on 7th April 2015 at 1:00PM on National Geographic Channel. (ANI)

provides an important early warning system of where weaknesses exist.

Understanding Youth and Gangs The issue of youth violence, drugs and gangs is always very troublesome for every community. Unfortunately, the South Asian community has borne a brunt of it. Since early 1990s, our community has lost close to 200 young people, mostly in their early or late twenties to this curse. To its credit, our community, along with the South Asian media-both electronic and print, including Apna Roots and IndoCanadian Times, have been doing a commendable job in creating more awareness about this issue. The formation of the Sikh Societies of Lower Mainland in 2002, which later expanded and transformed into the South Asian Community Coalition Against Youth Violence (SACCAYV) in 2007, was a major development. A lot has been accomplished since then. However, a lot more still needs to be done to keep our youth and communities safe. The recent developments in Surrey involving a number of young people are very worrisome. Numerous targeted shootings over a few days resulting in injury to some youth are very troubling. How did these young people reach that point is puzzling. Rather than getting into the blame game, as a community, we need to re -examine our values and priorities. As a community, we need to shift our focus away from materialistic outlook towards a spiritual and balanced lifestyle. We need to attach more importance to bonding with our children and youth and be good role models for them. Certainly, money and materialism have their own significance and place in

our lives. However, to pursue them at any cost, especially at the cost of one’s family may not be the best choice. There is a wise old saying that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. This is so true especially in case of our youth. Moreover, prevention has to start at a very early age. Sooner, the better. Research indicates that the bonding and attachment experienced by a child in his/her early years goes a long way in shaping that child’s life in later years. In addition to bonding, role modelling by parents and caregivers plays a crucial role in the growth and development of children and youth. As good role models for our children and youth we must be

willing to spend quality time with them, take interest in their lives and guide them through a rather challenging phase during their adolescent/teenage years. Moving from control to connection goes a long way in gaining our youth’s trust. For a long time it was believed that a child’s brain is fully hardwired by age 6. However, the latest research in this regard indicates that this process of neurological development continues all the way till the youth’s mid-twenties. Some of the skills that the youth lack and that are still developing have a major impact on his/her everyday life and their decision making process. Incidentally, these are the skills most needed when these young people have to make major decisions on a daily basis. These include reading social cues, predictive judgement, insight, impulse control and empathy. As adults in their lives we need to be extra patient in understanding and guiding them. As parents and caregivers, we must keep in mind that as children grow older, their affinity towards peers gets stronger and attachment towards their parents and extended family gets weaker. They long to belong. If that sense of belonging and inclusion/recognition is not available at home they will seek it somewhere else. This is when they start drifting towards negative peers. From there, it may lead them to drugs and gangs etc. Thus, the onus to keep our youth on the right track and help them become proud and productive citizens is a joint and shared responsibility of the family and the community. SACCAYV, along with many other individuals and organizations, has been working hard for almost fifteen years in creating awareness about these issues amongst youth and parents.

The sudoku puzzle is mostly a 9-by9 grid made up of 3-by-3 subgrids. Some cells already contain numbers, known as givens. The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once. Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once. in each of three "directions". Or you can say there is only one rule. Every row, every column and every 3-by-3 subgrid should contain digits 1 to 9 only.

Moody's affirms B.C.'s AAA rating -improves outlook to "stable," says Premier Clark VICTORIA - Moody's Investors Service has reaffirmed British Columbia's AAA credit rating and upgraded the Province's outlook to stable, with the agency saying it reflects the strong fiscal position of the province, Premier Christy Clark announced today. "British Columbia is a leader in controlling spending, attracting investment, and diversifying markets for our goods. Moody's upgrading B.C.'s credit rating outlook to AAA stable - the highest possible - is further validation of the hard work British Columbians have done to build a growing, diverse economy," said Premier Christy Clark. The agency highlights B.C.'s forecast of continued balanced budgets and says stabilizing the Province's debt burden is achievable. Moody's said, "The stable outlook on the Province of British Columbia's ratings reflects our opinion that the province has presented a credible plan of consistent balanced budgets with little risk that the debt burden will exceed current forecasts."

"British Columbians can be justifiably proud that, as a result of hard work and discipline, international agencies continue to assign their very highest marks and recognize our province's credit worthiness and good fiscal management," Finance Minister Michael de Jong said. The agency explains the AAA rating demonstrates B.C.'s high debt affordability, strong fiscal management and fiscal flexibility. British Columbia's proven track record of fiscal prudence and meeting

fiscal targets over the past 10 years, and the province's large and diverse economy are praised by Moody's as contributing to B.C.'s credit strength. Moody's applied a negative outlook to B.C.'s rating in December 2012, recognizing a softening economic outlook and weaker commodity prices, and increasing debt burden. Moody's reaffirmed B.C.'s AAA credit rating in May 2014. Triple-A is the highestpossible rating from Moody's. Currently, B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan are the only provinces rated triple-A with Moody's. Since November 2004, the Province has received seven credit rating upgrades. British Columbia continues to maintain the highest credit rating possible with Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Fitch. Standard & Poor's most recently affirmed its AAA rating in May 2014 following Budget 2014. The Dominion Bond Rating Service affirmed B.C.'s AA (high) credit rating in April 2014 and Fitch affirmed the Province's AAA rating in April 2014.

FBI puts Indian cyber-fugitive on most wanted list

OTTAWA – The government should invest more resources into keeping our communities safe, says local MP for Surrey. The Conservative government continues to cut programs that monitor dangerous individuals once they are released from prison, says MP for Surrey North, Jasbir Sandhu. “Programs such as Canada’s Circles of Support and Accountability have a proven record of keeping high-risk sex offenders from re-offending by supervising these individuals when they are released back into our communities. Yet, the Conservatives continue to cut funding from programs like this one that help reduce crime” said Mr. Sandhu. “As a father I am concerned the Conservatives are playing politics when it comes to crime. This government should have a zero-tolerance attitude towards child-exploitation and should be making sure it is using all resources available to protect our children and to keep our communities safe” said Mr. Sandhu.

New bill would help protect animals in distress

IANS WASHINGTON: Declaring Shivraj Singh Dabi, an Indian national, a cyberfugitive, the FBI has put him on its most wanted list with posters in English, Punjabi and Hindi seeking information about him. Wanted by the FBI notice put out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation accuses Dabi, 42, of "Unlawful Flight to Avoid Confinement - Computer Crimes" and says he may have fled to India. Dabi, it says goes by aliases of "Shivra Dabi, Shivrha Dabi, Shivrha S. Dabi, Shivrha Singh Dabi." According to FBI he is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 140 to 160 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. In 2007, FBI says "Dabi fled from Sacramento County, California, after he was found guilty of charges related to accessing the computers of his previous employer and deleting and purposely damaging the computer data on those computers, a felony."

MP demands investment in community safety

On July 21, 2008, a federal arrest warrant was issued by the US District Court, Eastern District of California, Sacramento, California, after Dabi was charged with unlawful flight to avoid confinement.

Dabi should be considered an international flight risk, FBI said asking people with any information concerning him to contact the local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

VICTORIA – The proposed Distressed Animals Act would help prevent animals from suffering or dying in vehicles without adequate ventilation, says New Democratic spokesperson on local government Selina Robinson. “After a number of incidents of animals dying while left alone in hot vehicles, it is time to act,” said Robinson, noting the tragic 2014 case of the six dogs who died after being left in the back of pickup truck covered by a canopy for 40 minutes. Robinson introduced the bill in the legislature on Thursday and was later joined by advocates from the BC SPCA in support of the proposed changes. “In 2013 the BC SPCA received 850 calls regarding animals left in hot cars and in 2014 they received well over 1,000 calls,” said Robinson.

BY KRISTINE OWRAM, WestJet Airlines Ltd. has found itself entangled in yet another scam, this one involving deeply discounted airline tickets that were purchased with stolen credit cards. The airline said Monday that it has uncovered a fraud scheme involving a cheap airfare offer for registrants of an upcoming conference in the United States. WestJet said its fraud investigators uncovered the scam, which advertised return flights for up to 50% lower than fares available through WestJet’s website, while doing routine checks of its credit-card transactions. It’s estimated that up to 100 people accepted the offer and paid for the airfare only to discover that their ticket was invalid because it had been purchased with a stolen credit card. “It also shows that the old adage is more appropriate today than ever before: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. It’s important to do your homework before purchasing your flights.” Alexis Gunderson, WestJet’s team lead for fraud investigation, said in a statement. This isn’t the first time WestJet’s name has been used by fraudsters. A long-running phone scam where targets are told they’ve won something from WestJet has reappeared in recent weeks with an offer of “999 WestJet dollars.”

In this context, the research being done by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Acting Together-Canadian University Research Alliance (AT-CURA), under Dr. Gira Bhatt’s leadership is commendable. Similarly, the work being done by various police agencies including RCMP, Combined Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC) and others has been greatly beneficial. All of these partners have been actively working together in keeping our youth and communities safe. CFSEU-BC has launched its media campaign End Gang Life. This includes powerful anti-gang videos, posters, information booklets and public presentations on myths and realities of gang life. Their website provides links to useful resources (www.cfseu.bc.ca/en/). In this regard , a very valuable parent resource booklet-Understanding Youth and Gangs –has been produced both in English and Punjabi jointly by ATCURA, CFSEU-BC ,SACCAYV and other partners.CFSEU-BC has already delivered 400 copies to each of 16 Gurdwaras in Metro Vancouver.

For example, on March 5, along with several other prominent members of the community, I had an opportunity to participate in a forum on youth organized by Abbotsford Community Services in partnership with South Asian Community Resource Office and Youth Resource Centre. Five resource people- Dr. Amritpal Singh Shergill, Abbotsford Police Constable Dr.Charan Kingra, Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich, Staff Sargent Baltej Dhillon and I –were invited to share our expertise with the invited guests. The audience included a very distinguished group of educators, law enforcement people, journalists, social workers, elected officials, community activists and youth as well as parents. Appropriately, the theme of the forum was: It Takes a Village to Raise a Child. As a community we need to continue to work on such initiatives. They make a big difference in keeping our youth on the right track and our families and communities safe.

Horoscope

Apna Roots, March 27th, 2015

April 2015 will be somehow more stable for Arians than March from the sentimental point of view, but it will stay at quite high emotional rates.Jupiter will continue (Mar. (Mar.2121- April April 19) stimulating the erotic instinct of Aries people and their appetite for love affairs. On the other hand, Mars, the ruler of Aries, will settle in a safer, more comfortable area, and it is still there that Venus will also be in the first decan of April 2015.Therefore, the grounds of a practical nature seem to prevail over the romantic enthusiasm, or at least to give it some limits and balance As Mars, the planet of desire and the ruler of Taurus' house of couple, will be in Taurus all throughout April 2015, you can expect a significant period at the sentimental level, very active and full of passion. You'll be sexy and sensual, especially in the first part of the month, when Venus, the planet of love, will also be in (Apr. 20- may 20) the sign of Taurus. Not only will you be ready to take initiative and start real campaigns to win somebody's affection if you are interested in them.You'll have to do a lot of exercise though, and stay away from stimulants and addictions. The first decan of April 2015 will favor long-term couple projects, solving problems, negotiating the tasks assigned to each of you, and joined involvement in social life, in collective activities, in studies, opinion sharing and trips. All the above will remain valid for the rest of the month too, (May 21-June 21) but will become less important, as there will be an astral event that will create the context for much more tempting preoccupations: on April 11th 2015 Venus, the planet of love, will enter Gemin Saturn, the ruler of Cancer's house of couple, will impose restrictions on you, hardly ever allowing you the right to choose. It seems that for a while you'll have to do what you are supposed to rather than what you like doing. There will stil be an option ( June 22-July 22) that would meet Saturn's demands while allowing the manifestation of your sentimental life too: interweaving love with daily tasks. For example, in an affair at the workplace.

Dear SOS Dear SOS: I am a modern person who feels people have the right to live their lives as they choose. Because of that I have given my children the right to decide what they want, where they want to go and who their friends are. I have taught them to differentiate right from wrong. I believe my kids are good kids. That example was shown to me recently. We were recently at a family party and my sister-inlaw and brother-in-law came in with their two daughters and I was very surprised to see how they were dressed. The girls were wearing dresses that sat very high on their thighs. And the neckline ran down to the point that the girls’ cleavages were showing to a point that it’s not appropriate at any function let alone at a family function. But their parents seem oblivious to this fact. This gathering was a mixed crowd

In the first two decans of April 2015, the above mentioned combination will be strengthened by the trine that the Sun, Leo's ruler, will form with Saturn and Jupiter. You can expect sentimental fulfillment that will (July23-Aug 23-Aug (July 22)22) be connected to distance, to the higher education, scientific, cultural or spiritual environment. Venus, the planet of love, will favor the combination between Leo's couple life and career or the high spheres in the first decan of April 2015, respectively with friendship, social events and group activities in the second and the third decans. Against a slightly confusing or uncertain background, Virgos will worry a bit too much in the first part of April 2015. You'll have the impression that the other one doesn't understand you or doesn't appreciate you enough, or that you don't manage to (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) decipher their intentions or actions. You can, however, meet on an intellectual and spiritual ground, and you can examine the psychological base of the relationship together. The Sun will light upon Libra's house of couple until April 21st 2015. In this period you'll relate more to your loved one, with whom you'd like to share more of your time, thoughts and affection, and from whom you'll wait for feedback, attention, approval. In the (Sept. (Sept.23 23-Oct. -Oct.23) 23) first part of April Mercury will also pass through Libra's sector of partnerships, so that communication will be favored and important for your couple life. Until April 11th 2015, Venus will stimulate Libra's interest in the mysterious (maybe even taboo) side of love, in its deep, psychological aspects. The transit of Mars (the ruler of your sign) through Scorpio's house of relationships will show how important this realm will be to you in April 2015. Mars will orient Scorpio's attention and energy towards the interaction with the others, and this interaction will be (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) very lively and will have a strong impact. (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Things will be either white or black, you'll feel the need to clarify, to cut to the chase, to decide and take action. The first decan of the month, when Venus is also in Scorpio's house of relationships, will have a great potential for passion and eroticism.

with a 1/4 percent of the crowd made up of Beejis and Baba jis and a ¼ percent made up of young people in their mid twenties or younger and the rest of people were in their forties and fifties. I saw the ladies roll their eyes when they saw these girls. I actually felt embarrassed. But no one said anything to the girls or to their parents. When we came home, I was surprised to have my kids make comments about how the girls’ dresses were not appropriate. They wondered why the parents did not say anything. They said there is a place and a time to wear clothes like this and this was not one of them. They asked me if I would allow them to wear anything like this to a party, where most of the crowd was Indian Beejis, Baba jis, Aunties and Uncles. My answer was no. Now, this is not to say that my girls don’t wear shorts or short dresses

April 2015 will be a sensual and exciting month for Sagittarians.Until April 15th, Mercury, the ruler of Sagittarius' house of couple, will be in Sagittarius' house of passion, and then it will move on to the next house, only to end up in the proximity of Mars, which is exactly the planet of passion. Both positions will stimulate the (Nov22 22--Dec. Dec 21) (Nov. 21 erotic dynamism and will give you an appetite for conquests and gallant affairs. Starting the second decan of April 2015, love, tenderness and good understanding with your partner will be fully nurtured by the presence of Venus in Sagittarius' house of couple. Mars, the planet of passion, will be in Capricorn's house of eroticism throughout April 2015. This position of Mars' will chase away your inhibition, will enhance your romantic enthusiasm and will lend you the (Dec 22.22.- Jan. Jan. 19) 19) courage to experiment at the sentimental (Dec and sexual level, to do crazy things in the name of love. The first decan of April 2015 will have huge sentimental load for Capricornians: Venus will be close to Mars, and the Venus-Mars combination in one's house of love is arguably the hottest there can be In the second part of April 2015. Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, has been in Aquarius' house of relationships for some time now, and it will stay there until August 2015, creating a favorable background to love, understanding and positive development of your couple life. On April 11th 2015, Venus, the Lesser Benefic and (Jan. 20 -Feb. 19) the planet of love, will enter Capricorn's house of (Jan 20 Feb eroticism. Both beneficial planets will now be on your side in love! In conclusion, you have a few very promising weeks ahead of you: passion, sexual fulfillment, homage and offers hard to refuse , maybe even a new love. ______________ Communication and information are strongly connected to Pisces' relationships. You are drawn to intelligent, open, talkative people, from whom you can learn a lot, with (Feb. 20 -Mar. 20) whom you can share impressions. In (Feb 20 Mar 20 your turn, you first and foremost conquer by the force of your ideas, by the passion with which you express yourself or by the way you transmit emotions in writing, rather than by the way you look. In the first part of April 2015 money, valuable possessions and practical aspects will have higher influence on Pisces' couple life.

but they are always in decent length and don’t shout to everyone to come look at me. I too am surprised at their parents for not saying anything. My kids questioned why no one said anything to them. Well, I have no answer and I also questioned why no one said anything. These are parents who are always the first to make negative comments about other people’s children. Shocked in Surrey Dear Shocked in Surrey: I have found those who make lots of fuss about other people’s children usually end up with their own kids doing things they have objection too. This might be just the case in this situation. If these people are like you say they are then I am sure that they know what their girls were wearing, and it’s not something they should wear to family parties. But maybe the parents in question have no control over their girls and they don’t listen to what the parents say. You should be glad that you have raised your children well and stop worrying about other people and their children.

Encourage your kids to get moving (NC) Studies have proven that there is a link between childhood obesity and a lack of physical exercise. Canadian children spend an average of 8 hours per day in front of a screen, and few meet their daily fitness guidelines. According to the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, kids ages 5-17 require one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day. Meeting these guidelines can help improve kids' health, academics, body strength and self-esteem. Many parents feel at a loss when dealing with their child's health and potential weight issues. To raise awareness for Nutrition Month, T-fal's Nutritious and Delicious brand is launching its award winning Healthy Cooking for Healthy Kids Program.

(NC) Don't be one of the Canadians that get caught up in gifting tax shelter schemes. Gifting tax shelter schemes provide little or no benefit to the charities involved or to their intended beneficiaries. Instead, many of these arrangements exploit a registered charity's receipting privileges for the private gain of the promoters and participants. How do you spot a gifting tax shelter scheme? Typically, participants invest a small amount of money and receive a tax receipt for an amount several times higher than what they actually spent. Examples of these schemes include buy-low, donate-high schemes; gifting trust arrangements; and leveraged cash donations. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) warns you not to become involved in gifting tax shelter schemes. Taxpayers should be aware that if they receive an official donation receipt for an amount higher than the value of property donated, the receipt is not valid and cannot be used to claim a tax credit. Registered charities can jeopardize their registered status by participating in such arrangements. The CRA audits every gifting tax shelter that offers official donation receipts in excess of the value of any

property donated and to date has not found a single arrangement that complies with the Income Tax Act. As of March 31st, 2014, the CRA has reassessed more than 190,000 taxpayer returns denying in excess of $6.3 billion in donation claims. We have also assessed more than $162 million in third party penalties against promoters and tax preparers.

The recommended 60 minutes of moderate daily physical activity can be broken up into 10 minuteincrements throughout the day. Being active does not require expensive exercise equipment or a gym membership. Make easy swaps to help kids stay active and burn calories throughout the day: • Get off the couch and play a sport like basketball (burns approximately 280 calories per half an hour) instead of playing a video game that only burns 53 calories. • Instead of playing a board game, do a jump rope contest to see who can skip the longest to burn approximately 100-150 calories in only 10 minutes. • Did you know it would take you an hour and 40 minutes of exercise to burn off the calories consumed from a large serving of fries at a fast food chain?

Cooking techniques that maximize your meats flavour the plank and then onto a medium low-temperature grill. Here is a recipe from the grilling experts at Broil King that will let you test out the new techniques:

When it comes to cooking meat there is no mistaking the unique taste that grilling offers aspiring chefs. In fact research shows that flavour is the primary reason why people love to barbecue. While the thought of slapping a strip loin steak, baby back ribs, or salmon fillet on the grill still makes any meat lover salivate, the following cooking techniques will take your meats flavour to another level: Turn your gas grill into a smoker: Combining the cooking power of a Broil King gas grill and the right tools allows you to add the smoky flavour of hickory, mesquite, and whiskey to your meat without purchasing a smoker. When you smoke a cut of meat, give it plenty of time so it can absorb the flavour. Soak the wood chips in water for at least half an hour and then drain them. There are several different types of Broil King wood chips available. Use a stainless steel or cast iron smoker box placed under the cooking grids so the chips will smolder and smoke. Planking: Cooking meat and seafood on a wooden plank is a simple

technique that will give your meat additional flavour. Broil King offers cedar, maple, and oak wine barrel grilling planks. Just soak the plank in water, juice, or beer for an hour and pat it dry. Place the seasoned meat on

Ingredients: 1 6lb salmon fillet, skin on 1 untreated cedar plank, sized to accommodate salmon fillet Asian Ginger Marinade ¼ cup white wine 1 orange, finely grated zest and juice 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tsp ginger, grated 1 tsp honey 1 tsp Asian chilli sauce salt and pepper to taste Directions:

(NC) Every person should have a will, which should cover at least seven essential points to avoid difficulties in the future, as follows: • Make sure only one will exists. • Determine who you want as your executor—the person who will carry out your wishes in settling your estate. • Carefully plan for your dependents. • Name a guardian for young children. • Detail specific monies or gifts to friends, relatives or charities. • Consider what people or organizations mean a lot to you for the residue of your estate. One's church, a charity, or a favourite organization like Amnesty International, are often on this list.

• Put in writing the details of your funeral arrangements. After you have taken care of these basic issues, you may want to consider a few other areas. A will is more than a simple outline of the final distribution of your property and effects. It is an occasion to plan for the financial support of people and projects that you have actively supported during your lifetime. It can also be the time to finally help those people and groups that you always intended to support but didn't have the resources to do so. While everyone involved in estate planning agrees with the need to make a will, remember that it is, in fact, your will. Consider your own wishes and

To begin with, soak a cedar plank in a container of water for at least an hour. You may need to place a weight on top to keep the wood immersed. Meanwhile, combine ingredients for marinade in a large, flat shallow glass dish and marinate the salmon fillets, skin-on, in the refrigerator for half an hour. Preheat barbecue on HIGH for 10 minutes. Pat dry plank and oil the upper side. Place plank directly on the grids and heat with the lid closed until the plank begins to smoke. Place the salmon, skin side down in the middle of the plank and grill until just opaque at the thickest part. A 6 lb. fillet may take 30 minutes. For more recipes and tips visit www.broilkingbbq.com

A will is your most personal document feelings. A will is an important document, but if it does not express your wishes, it is not done well. Talk it over. Consider the future. Make a draft. Think again. Your will is probably one of the most important, and personal, documents you will ever prepare. Laws about will-making and taxes vary from province to province and the specific wording to ensure that your wishes are carried out may require the help of a lawyer. Experts strongly recommend that you seek legal advice when making out your will. A free information package on wills is available from Amnesty International, 312 Laurier Avenue East, #316, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 1H9.

'Love is in the Air' : Alia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sidharth!

The love birds are enjoying their romantic time together, So movie date it is! Apparently Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra have been romantically involved for quite some time now, but just like other B-Town couple Alia-Sidharth have not been open about their relationship. Alia and Sidharth's love story came out in public when the couple was spotted walking in and out of the parties together. According to a source, the couple generally held on to each other through out the social outing and they always seemed happy around each other. But, their secret vacation to Philippines did create the ripples and made us believe that there is something special between the two. The couple has done a soft drink commercial together recently, and obviously you can see a strong chemistry between the couple. Later, the couple also attended the inaugural PC of the Coke Studio, where again we could witness, Sidharth clicking Alia's pics, and Alia could not help but blush it away. Alia's who celebrated her 22nd birthday last Sunday, received a beautiful super-expensive gadget (Camera) from Siddharth as a birthday gift, which was straight from US. Knowing her love for selfies, alleged flame picked up a perfect gift for girlfriend. By Sunaina Rana, Santa Banta

Get the look: Day-to-Night Eye Makeup Tips (NC) The makeup routine you're rocking during the day just isn't going to pack the same punch once the sun goes down. Celebrity makeup artist and Canadian beauty authority, Grace Lee, knows how to take your look from day to night – and makes achieving fabulous eye makeup from sunrise to sunset a cinch with these simple tips.

time eyelashes every morning with this sometimes forgotten makeup bag tool. An eyelash curler is an easy way to make your eyelashes look instantly fuller and thicker. “Don't ever leave your house without curling your eyelashes and adding a few coats of mascara,” recommends Lee. “It's the fastest thing you can do that will have the highest impact on your appearance.”

instead of eyeliner. This helps to blend the colour more seamlessly into the lashline and skin while still providing some definition to the eyes. Elevate your eyes even further with a warm eye shadow or coloured contact lens. “The contrasts of a rich, dark brown shadow and AIR OPTIX COLORS Honey contact lenses results in a look that's fresh and modern,” says Lee.

Tips for Day: Get mind-blowingly flawless day-

For a softer day look, reach for a brown eye shadow to line your eyes

Tips for Night:

To achieve a sultry nighttime look go for a classic smoky eye. When you're getting decked out for a major night on the town, nothing adds drama quite like this. The best part? The smoky eye doesn't have to be black. Try grey, navy, plum or forest green to dial up the sexy and add a level of surprise. This is another great way to #LiveInColor. Use metallic shadows to add drama and intrigue to the eye. Compliment this metallic palette with the addition of AIR OPTIX COLORS' Sterling Gray contact lenses. “This offers fashion-forward beauties a bold, new way to enhance and redefine their look, complementing their already vibrant style and highlighting one of the first things people notice – their eyes,” notes Lee. Never be afraid to #LiveInColor with a new beauty routine.
