Swarming attack was random, parole board hears

New Langley-Cloverdale riding among proposed electoral boundary changes

Surrey to get fifth federal seat

Day release continued for 14-year-old’s killer

by Jeff Nagel SURREY WILL GET a fifth MP and a new federal riding come the

next federal election as part of a complex redrawing of electoral district boundaries. The biggest change is the proposed creation of a new LangleyCloverdale riding that splits Cloverdale and Clayton off from the existing South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale federal riding, leaving a South Surrey-White Rock riding in the south. The new Langley-Cloverdale riding also takes in much of the current Fleetwood-Port Kells riding. The other three Surrey ridings would be renamed North SurreyGuildford, Surrey Centre and West Surrey-Whalley. They would take the place of the existing Surrey North, Newton-North Delta and Fleetwood-Port Kells. Neighouring Delta-Richmond East becomes just Delta and would take in North Delta. The changes are proposed by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Q Sept. 12, 7 p.m. Commission, which proposes Q Sheraton Vancouver adding six new electoral districts in B.C. Guildford Hotel Canada’s electoral districts are Q Register by Aug. 30 reviewed every 10 years by independent commissions in each province to account for shifts and growth in the population. These reviews consider population numbers – as captured in the federal census – as well as other important factors such as communities of interest or identity, and historical and geographic factors. “The explosive population growth in the geographic area between Delta and Chilliwack south of the Fraser River dictates the need for additional electoral districts there,” the commission said in its findings. “In particular, the Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford geographic areas have seen remarkable population growth.” A public hearing in Surrey on the local boundary changes is set for the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel in Surrey on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. Anyone wishing to make a presentation must register by Aug. 30.

adult who admitted to the Feb. 25, 2008 murder of 14-year-old Justin Vasey of Surrey never said exactly why they did it. There were suggestions during their sentencing hearings that Vasey had somehow angered them, either by running into traffic or making a joke they didn’t appreciate, but the exact reasons for the brutal swarming attack were never clearly explained. Now, one of the killers, Jordan Anthony George, has told a June 21 parole board hearing that there was no real motive. Justin Vasey According to a Parole Board of Canada written record of the hearing, George “claimed that the choice of victim in the index offence was random.” George also said the attack involved what the board described as “a capacity for bullying on his part.” The document was released June 30 at the request of The Leader.

Man charged in Christmas day murder Kwantlen student was ﬁlling in for convenience store owners when he was killed by Jeff Nagel A 22-YEAR-OLD SURREY MAN faces charges

Alok Gupta was shot to death in what police say was a botched robbery.

of second-degree murder in what RCMP believe was a botched Christmas Day convenience store robbery that claimed the life of a student here from India. William Andrew Whiteside appeared Friday in Surrey Provincial Court, accused in the Dec. 25, 2011 killing of 27-year-old Alok Gupta. Gupta, a Kwantlen Polytechnic University business student, had been covering a shift at Ken’s Grocery at 11779 96 Ave. as a favour to the owners. Whiteside was arrested just four days after the murder on an unrelated matter,

police revealed, and has been held in custody ever since. Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Insp. Kevin Hackett said other accomplices in the failed robbery could soon face charges as well. “We do not believe Mr. Whiteside acted alone,” he said. “I’m confident we will make additional arrests.” Video evidence played a role, but investigators aren’t elaborating or providing details on other evidence that led to charges against Whiteside. Hackett said Gupta had no involvement in criminal activity and was here on a student visa to study management and marketing at Kwantlen.

“Mr. Gupta was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said, adding there is no evidence to support media speculation that the shooting was racially motivated. “It’s not like it was a targeted hit,” he added. “The motive was robbery.” Hackett said police officers have been “deeply affected” by the attack on someone who came to Canada to work hard in school and was providing relief to a family on Christmas. Officers have worked closely with Gupta’s family in India throughout the investigation and Hackett said they were relieved to receive word charges have now been laid. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Infant and grandmother drown in Guildford pool Two non-swimmers found in water after extended period: RCMP by Jeff Nagel A TRAGIC DROWNING at a Guildford apart-

ment building’s outdoor swimming pool has claimed the life of a Surrey toddler and left his grandmother clinging to life. Residents at the complex at 10525 150 St. found the 20-month-old infant boy and the 51-year-old woman floating in the pool around 9 p.m. Sunday night, Surrey RCMP said. CPR was performed initially by residents and then ambulance paramedics and fire department first responders, but the boy could not be saved. The woman was revived and was on life support in very grave condition as of Monday morning. Both victims are thought to have been nonswimmers and in the water for an extended period of time before they were found floating face down by other building residents who had arrived to use the pool. RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said early indications are the infant fell into the pool and the grandmother followed to save him. “It’s a very tragic event,” he said. “They were fully clothed – they weren’t there to swim.” Foul play is not suspected and RCMP are assisting the B.C. Coroners Service with the investigation. Police are asking any witnesses to call them at 604-599-0502. Names have not been released at the request of the family.

Pit bull shot by Mountie A pit bull terrier has survived being shot in the face by a Surrey RCMP officer over the weekend. RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said the aggressive dog was shot once by a female officer who was responding to a domestic incident in progress on Saturday in the 13500 block of King George Boulevard. The officer was backing up as the unleashed pit bull advanced on her, Grainger said, when she slipped on loose gravel or uneven pavement underfoot. See DOG / Page 4

comparable residential programs funded by Fraser Health. “Delta View certainly is staffed higher and we do fund that,” said Kipper. “And part of our negotiation we actually added in dollars for the staffing. Delta View wanted to go to more of a professional mix so we agreed to increase funding to fund an all-nurse program versus LPN.” Devji defended Delta View’s staffing levels – a ratio of one care-giver for every six residents – saying the state-of-theart facility has extended patients’ lives by decades. Residents are kept physically and socially active through music therapy programs and other rehabilitation therapies. Fraser Health is now tasked with finding mental health beds in the region by March 31 for displaced Delta View patients. “Once we have those sites identified and the contracts negotiated we will be certainly letting families know and discussing it and doing transition planning with the families to facilitate the transfer of the patients from Delta View to those sites,” said Kipper. As for the soon-tobe vacant Delta View Habilitation Centre, Devji said they will move to a private-pay model. Currently Michael pays $1,000 a month for Ruth’s bed at Delta View – an incredible bargain, he said. Now he is left wondering where Ruth will be moved next. “Of course I’m worried,” he said. “I’m not looking forward to that day. I think (Fraser Health) ought to save (Delta View Habilitation Centre).”

PUBLIC EDUCATION

RAESIDE

Will peace be shortlived in B.C. schools?

ill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of Bill 22 have been rendered moot, an agreement has been reached, and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to fight another day. While BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages. More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions that had been demanded by the employers, the BC Public School Employers’ Association. True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers with Bill 22 by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom. Still, it’s unlikely teachers will be satisfied given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. Some of these issues will be addressed through the courts in the hopes that the judicial system will give teachers what the government will not while wages will remain a sticking point when negotiations resume. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief after months of uncertainty and anxiety, a three-day walkout and withdrawal of teachers’ support for field trips and other volunteer activities. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes, or it turns out that more money does make a difference to in the classroom – although there will never be enough cash to solve every issue. – Black Press

hortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original selfpublished quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine. The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions. The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.” With the typography of Old West wanted

cot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

LRT is the best transit for Surrey

THE COLUMN “Urgent need for rapid transit in Surrey” (The Leader, July 5) includes a mistake commonly made by those comparing SkyTrain with LRT as illustrated by the following quote: “However, SkyTrain is separated from road traffic and as such can offer quicker trips and not get tied up by intersection crashes.” The claim that SkyTrain makes quicker trips than LRT is based on the fact that SkyTrain has much fewer stations per route kilometre than LRT. Fewer stations equals quicker times, but fewer stations also deter ridership. The main differences between streetcars and modern LRT is the concept of the reserved rights-of-way or a rights-of-way for the exclusive use of the tram or streetcar to operate on.

The reserved rights-of-way can be as simple as a HOV lane with rails or as complex as a linear park with grass, instead of ballasted or paved, track complete with shrubbery and flowers. The Arbutus corridor in Vancouver is a very good example of a “reserved rights-of-way” as well as the former BC Electric interurban route that bisects Surrey. A reserved rights-of-way enables a tram or streetcar to operate as fast and carry as many passengers as its much more expensive cousin, light-metro (SkyTrain). In fact, modern LRT has made SkyTrain obsolete two decades ago but no one has apparently told TransLink, which continues to squander taxpayer’s money on dated SkyTrain transit planning.

The notion that LRT causes crashes at intersections is nonsense; rather it is car drivers ignoring red light signals that causes crashes at signal controlled LRT/road intersections and studies have shown that a LRT/road intersections are about 10 times as safe as a road/road intersections. In the 21st century, modern LRT has proven to be faster, able to carry more customers at a far cheaper cost, to more destinations than SkyTrain light-metro and Mayor Dianne Watts is correct in demanding modern LRT for the City of Surrey.

What would the NDP have done?

THE WELCOME but unexpected contract settlement reached with the BCTF means B.C. parents can now breathe a small sigh of relief for the coming school year. However, with a provincial election less than a year away, it’s fair to wonder what Adrian Dix and the NDP would have done, or would do, if they were in government and negotiating with the BCTF. Unfortunately, Adrian Dix and the NDP appear to have taken a vow of perpetual silence on this subject (and on many others as well) and Dix has repeatedly refused to say what the NDP would have done, or would do, BCTF-wise. This is poor form for a political leader because it doesn’t provide the public with any way to gauge the merits of the approach an NDP government under Adrian Dix would take. Fortunately, the not-so-distant past provides us with a pretty good idea how Adrian Dix would likely go about negotiating a BCTF contract, because when he was NDP Premier Glen Clark’s chief of staff in the dying days of the NDP regime of the late 1990s, Dix helped orchestrate a notoriously one-sided “sweetheart” deal with the BCTF. Although the contract was sold to the public as a fiscally restrained 0-0-2 settlement, the arithmetic of the contract terms yielded a very different 11-per -cent total once the province’s school district administrators crunched the numbers. The real cost of Dix’s 0-0-2 BCTF contract amounted to an additional $1.3 billion (in 1990s dollars) for B.C. taxpayers and it led to the now famous headline, “NDP math: 0+0+2=11.” So while parents, students and school staff look forward to a relatively normal school year this coming fall, we should also take some time to reflect on the lessons of history and the wonky NDP math that nearly sank this province. And after that it’s time for Adrian Dix to break his vow of silence and let the public in on whatever it is he’s got hidden up his sleeve for us this time around. Mike Taylor , Port Moody

One letter writer says teachers had little alternative than to vote in favour of a contract agreement, while another writer wonders how the NDP would have handled the teachers’ dispute.

Voting was a struggle for teachers AS WE HEAD INTO summer, there

are a few things I need to get off my chest. No, I am not happy with the ratified agreement but I believe teachers had no alternative, for many, voting was a struggle. To quote a colleague, “This is not a

deal. It’s a kick in the pants. Give up $30 million on a three-day walkout for students and fair wages and get back $2.6 million for orthotics?” Large classes, split grades with many special needs, a reduction in support, fewer teachers – that is what we lost and not even a cost of living adjustment. Those millions from our strike went into the so-called Learning Improvement

Fund, which often translated into hiring more SEAs, not that they are not needed, but teachers should not have to pay for them. This fund should have been tenfold and fully targeted to employ the specialists we are so lacking – the librarians, the psychologists, the counsellors, the speech and language pathologists, the Learning Support teachers. So back to the courts we must go for the illegal Bills 27, 28 and 22. The minister who lavishes praise on the parties and wants to mend fences is justifying his net zero, to avoid a European crisis here neglecting to mention its cause: greedy financiers, unregulated banks and unsupported economies. In my mind, the only thing that may sweeten this bitter year would be if the minister resigned, retired or got recalled. Most teachers will continue to be disgusted by the disrespect they and their students have been shown. The only consolation is that we can now fight another day in our schools without fear, the concessions are off. A big thank you to the thousands of teachers who stuck to the action plan and to the parents who supported us as they understood this was the only legal way left to be heard. One thing is crystal clear, volunteering is just that. If we wish it otherwise, then it may be time to follow suit with American and Finnish systems paying extra for those wonderful extracurricular activities throughout the day and after school, which brings us back to whether or not British Columbians want a well-funded education system. Do you want your government to support successful, happy, well-educated citizens or do you want low paying jobs and poverty allowing corporate elites to get wealthier and class disparity to become wider? I urge the voters of this province, to join teachers next spring, speak out for public education or as Plato said, “I shall assume that your silence gives consent” to that which is broken.

Permanent liquor licence for RCMP not necessary RE: “RCMP mess hall? Yes,” Frank

Bucholtz column in the June 28 Leader. I see no need for a continuous liquor licence open to serve drinks every day. We have establishments in the community for this and they serve those quite well who want to meet with their friends and peers. It appears the general attitude put forward these days by the RCMP is lacking in professionalism – more so than what should be in such an organization. Yes, maybe there was a time when this establishment did not exhibit the questionable behaviour it does today, but unfortunately there appears to be a lowering of standards. A liquor licence appears quite unnecessary, regardless of the pressure the job may bring. One would know this, I expect, before making this a career. If there is a large event required for the group, why could they not apply like all the rest of the community to allow liquor to be present? But all day, every day, is not necessary. Why should the community not be concerned? We have seen members from this group go into the community and cause problems and it has to be a concern.

Ron Howarth

Knee-jerk reaction RE: LIQUOR LICENCE at new RCMP

headquarters. Once again we see a typical kneejerk reaction from the uninformed masses, and of course, those who are totally anti-police because of the actions of a few. Must be nice to be perfect. Of course the hysteria of the TV press does not help. Is it the proposal from these citizen-voters that the police should frequent the local bars, or is it that the police must not have a drink at all? Mac Savage, Surrey

Urban region vulnerable to invasive species

Knotweed isn’t the only invasive pest raising alarms. Giant hogweed is another problem plant that brings special control challenges because its sap causes serious burns. The arrival of aggressive European fire ants, garden-destroying chafer beetles and the recent capture of a snakehead fish in a Burnaby pond have all increased awareness of other invading animals. “Our region is scarysusceptible,” said Jennifer Grenz of the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver. The Metro Vancouver region is uniquely vulnerable, she argues, because it’s a hub for tourists and part-time residents from around the world who bring foreign species here. Grenz said some releases of species, likely including the Burnaby snakehead, are the result of religious rites where animals or plants are deliberately released, adding more public education is needed. Illegal dumping is also a huge cause behind the spread of invasive plants, which one yard owner chops and dumps in a ravine, park or ditch. Grenz said some stakeholders have suggested challenges like knotweed are so onerous Metro Vancouver should instead be deemed a “sacrifice area” where authorities would give up on weed management. That’s an untenable idea, she said. “We have such small amount of green spaces we need to protect them as much as we can.” But the invaders Grenz worries most about are the ones that have not yet arrived here. “Any insect really scares me in terms of invasiveness. At least plants don’t move that fast.”

Surrey business group backs Blaine train Campaign to reopen station in Washington gains steam by Dan Ferguson THE INTERNATIONAL campaign to reopen the historic

train station in Blaine, Wash. gathered a little more momentum in recent days. First, Blaine city council last week formally endorsed a passenger train stop for their community, then the Surrey Board of Trade followed suit. Then, last week, the Surrey Board of Trade announced it has passed a resolution of support for a “minimum stop” by the Amtrak Cascades just south of the U.S. border. The support follows votes by city councils of both White Rock and Surrey earlier this year backing the proposal. Blaine council members voted June 25 to support the establishment of an Amtrak passenger rail stop there and to send a letter to Washington State Gov. Chris Gregoire and B.C. premier Christy Clark. The resolution also calls for a third, mid-day passenger train service between Vancouver and Seattle to complement the current morning and evening runs. The council vote endorses preservation of the boarded-up 100-year-old train station in Blaine, but makes it clear that is not the only option for the city.

“If it is determined that (preserving the station) cannot be accomplished, Blaine would explore other alternatives,” the written motion states. Blaine council member Ken Oplinger told Black Press that the primary goal for the city is getting a passenger stop, something he says will benefit the Canadian communities nearest the border like White Rock, Surrey and Langley. “This station is really going to serve a population of 750,000,” Oplinger says, because it will save people in the Canadian communities from driving to downtown Vancouver rail station to catch the train to Seattle. The Surrey Board of Trade announced its support last Tuesday. “The requirement to use the downtown (Vancouver) terminal is a major impediment for travelers from the Fraser Valley, and the South Fraser region in particular, adding many additional hours to the trip,” the board statement notes. The board backed the proposal to refurbish the disused BNSF station, noting there is “plenty of parking in the area, which could be made secure, and it is easily accessible by passengers arriving by car, bus and even on foot.”

Accused of multiple offenses in several cities by Dan Ferguson AN EARLY-MORNING traffic stop in White Rock

sparked a police investigation that led to theftrelated charges against three people. Around 1 a.m. on June 20, White Rock RCMP officers pulled a vehicle over in the 800-block of 160 Street. Police announced the bust Friday, saying information gathered during the stop resulted in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;multi-jurisdiction police investigationâ&#x20AC;? and a raid by White RCMP which recovered items stolen

from break-and-enters in Sechelt, Vancouver and Langley. Two men from Surrey, James Moore, 28, and Michael Boretzky, 28, and a woman from Vancouver, Afsenah Bayazidi, 18, have been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000. Moore and Boretzky are also charged with breaking and entering. A White Rock RCMP statement said they are continuing their investigation with police in Langley, Sechelt and Vancouver and are â&#x20AC;&#x153;hopefulâ&#x20AC;? that further charges will result.

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

As Great Britain’s Laura Thompson watches, California A’s’ Kylee Lahners slides safely to third base after hitting a triple during the Women’s Elite championship game at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship at Softball City on Sunday. The A’s, who didn’t lose a single game during the Elite tournament, captured the title Sunday afternoon with a 3-2 win over Great Britain. Not only did California finish the tournament without a loss, the team did not give up a single run until the final against Britain. And even then, it was the A’s literally

throwing away their perfect defensive record. By far the best defensive team in the tournament, the A’s looked like the worst in the top of the first inning. Three errors – all on overthrows – on one play let one British runner to score from first, and allowed the batter to circle the

bases for a second run. But the 2-0 Great Britain lead didn’t last long. California rapped out three hits in the bottom half of the inning, including a triple off the outfield fence in left field and line-drive double down the first base line, to score three runs to take the lead.

Firecrackers repeat as Futures’ best California the dominant team in under-18 age group by Rick Kupchuk IN THE END, there was little competition

for the California Worth Firecrackers. The Firecrackers repeated as champions in the Futures Gold division at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. But unlike a year ago, when they had to rally from 5-0 down to defeat the Canadian national junior team 8-7 in the final, they were never tested this time around. They were one of five unbeaten teams after round robin play, outscoring the opposition 48-0 in five games. They cruised through five more playoff games on the weekend, allowing just seven

runs while scoring 53, clinching the championship with a 9-0 victory over the Ashburn Shooting Stars of Virginia Sunday evening. American teams dominated the group for players under-18. The Delta Heat ’96 were one of just two Canadian teams in the final six of the 16-team doubleknock-out playoff. The Heat lost 12-1 to Ashburn, while Ontario was blanked 2-0 by the North West of Oregon. It was the reverse in Showcase Gold tournament, which saw the Victoria Devils come through the backdoor to defeat the Burnaby Oakeys 7-4 in Sunday’s championship game. The Devils had to win twice Sunday after losing 9-4 to Burn-

aby Saturday night. Victoria thumped the Delta Heat ’97 by an 11-1 score in Sunday morning’s semifinal, earning a second chance to defeat the Oakeys for the championships. “The girls played fantastic right from the very beginning,” said Victoria coach Brian Wallace. “They were undefeated in pool play and undefeated in the playoff right up until (last night).” Ten of the 16 playoff teams in the Showcase Gold group were from Metro Vancouver of the Fraser Valley, with the Delta Heat ’97, White Rock Renegades ’95 and Abbotsford Outlaws ’96 also placing in the top six. Only the Lloydminster Rebels of Alberta was the

last non-B.C. team in the playoff round, eliminated two wins away from a berth in the final to place fourth in the 18-team division. There were 72 youth teams in four categories in the under-18 and under-16 tournaments, and Wallace said the Rebels will likely be one of those returning again in 2-13. “It’s first-class, this is an extremely well run event,” he said. “There’s great venues, the girls have an opportunity to be around the national women’s team, some of the best teams in the world, and the women’s Elite teams. “It makes them feel part of a larger softball community.”
