Legal problems for former federal MP
Dhaliwal drops provincial bid Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Longtime Surrey politician Sukh Dhaliwal has stepped down from his run with the BC Liberals, the day after it was revealed he faces six charges under the Income Tax Act. The former Surrey MP was the party’s candidate for Surrey-Panorama in the May election. Friday, he called a news conference and announced that afternoon, before a crowd at the Grand Taj Banquet Hall in Newton, that he was withdrawing from the race. Dhaliwal is facing six charges under the Income Tax Act for failing to file returns for a company for which he was responsible. “The last two days have been extremely difficult for me and my family,” Dhaliwal told reporters Friday. “I want to make sure I take care of the outstanding matters that are before the courts.” He said in no way did the BC Liberal party push him to make the

decision to step down. “Absolutely not,” he said. “It’s my decision, it’s my family’s decision, and that’s what I’m making.” Dhaliwal is president of Genco Consultants Inc., the firm that allegedly failed to file tax returns for six years. › see page 2

A Surrey woman accused of assuming a resident’s identity and using her debit card to purchase a car is scheduled to appear in Vancouver Provincial Court next week on multiple charges. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said Thursday that a woman arrested in Burnaby on Jan. 15 has been connected to identitytheft incidents in Surrey, White Rock, Burnaby and New Westminster between Dec. 20 and Jan. 15. “(The perpetrator) goes into the bank using the victim’s ID, poses as the victim and takes over the bank card, then uses the debit card to buy herself things,” Shoihet said. The White Rock incident occurred Dec. 21, when the debit card of
a woman who works in the city was compromised. Her identity was then used two days later to facilitate a car loan at a Surrey dealership. The fraud has been “very stressful” for the victim, Shoihet said, explaining the woman had to deal with multiple agencies in the aftermath of the theft, including ICBC and TransUnion. “That’s a lot to go through. For seven years, they put a flag on your (credit) file.” Shoihet said she connected the Burnaby suspect to the local file through a phone number that linked to an alias of a woman known by police. Laura Kozinoski, 43, is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 20 charged with identity theft and fraud over $5,000. Shoihet said further charges are possible.

Dhaliwal accepts responsibility › from page 1 The federal indictment reads that Dhaliwal, “being director of Genco Consultants Inc.… did unlawfully direct, authorize, assent to, acquiesce in or participate in Genco Consultant Inc.’s failure to file a completed Corporate Income Tax Return on Form T2” for the years 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Dhaliwal had told Black Press the day before his news conference that he accepted complete responsibility for the problem but noted he was not involved in day-to-day operations of the company. “I relied on others to make sure the company was in good standing in regards to taxes and other matters,” Dhaliwal said. “That was my mistake. I am the director, so I take full responsibility, and I’m working to resolve these matters through the proper channels.” He noted he owns Dhaliwal and Associates Land Surveying, which has filed taxes every year, as has he personally. The charges against Dhaliwal were sworn on Oct. 15, 2012, just two weeks before the BC Liberals announced he was their candidate for the Surrey-Panorama riding. Dhaliwal was running on a platform of fiscal responsibility. The indictment states a “notice of requirement was served personally on him on August 24, 2011…” Asked why he didn’t file the back years’ taxes at that point, he said the matter is complicated. “This company is reliant on many other things, and it’s before the courts and I cannot say that right now,” Dhaliwal said Thursday. “I can’t comment any further.” According to B.C. Registry Services, Dhaliwal’s wife, Roni, is secretary of Genco. She faces 14 charges under the Income Tax Act, according to court documents. A spokesperson at Canada Revenue Agency said Wednesday that he couldn’t comment on tax matters that are before the courts.
White Rock
Both Sukh and Roni Dhaliwal were arraigned Dec. 17 and their next court date is Feb. 21. Given the chance to do things differently, Dhaliwal said he would have put Genco in the hands of his land surveying company. The maximum penalties under the act for the offence are a $25,000 fine and a year in jail. Dhaliwal was MP for Newton-North Delta from 2007 to 2011, losing his seat to New Democrat Jinny Simms in the May 2011 federal election. It’s not the first time Dhaliwal has been at the heart of controversy. In 2008, when he was MP, he made headlines when he wrote a letter of support for international drug trafficker Ranjit Cheema to California District Judge Stephen Wilson, urging him to give Cheema a chance at rehabilitation. Dhaliwal described Cheema as a man who would one day return to his family in Canada and seemed committed to rehabilitation. “I personally believe, along with tougher laws, rehabilitation is fundamentally essential to make our society, our country, and our planet a better place to live,” Dhaliwal wrote in the letter on Government of Canada letterhead. “I have no doubt that if he (Cheema) is given support and direction, he will be a strong, active member of his community in years to come.” Despite the support, Cheema was sentenced in California to five years in prison for conspiring to smuggle 200 kilograms of heroin from Pakistan to North America in 1998. Dhaliwal, when confronted about the correspondence in the middle of a re-election campaign, regretted not having checked with police before writing the letter. Cheema was gunned down in Vancouver last May. – with files from Sheila Reynolds

mark violations, Pitcairn said he believes the variations on the original designs are sufficient to be well within ‘fair dealing’ parameters established for satirical or parody uses. He said he created the basic designs, which were then worked on by a graphic designer. “I had a lawyer look at them. He didn’t think there would be any problem, although he thought the City of Surrey wouldn’t be very happy about them.” Noting that the city solicitor has been quoted as saying he is not intending to take the matter further, Pitcairn – who is also president of Surrey United Naturists, organizers of the annual New Year’s Day Polar
Bare Swim at Crescent Beach – said the shirts’ intention is to push buttons and promote discussion about Surrey’s reputation as a centre of gang- and gun-related violence. He said incidents such as the 2007 Surrey Six massacre, in which six individuals, including two innocent bystanders, were executed gangland-style, and the five firearm deaths in the city this January alone, have created a reputation for gun violence in Surrey that has spread across the continent. In his landscape and garden-maintenance business, he has twice seen spent handgun bullets retrieved from Surrey properties over four years, which “speaks for itself,” he said. “I’m sorry if I’ve ruffled feathers with the City of Surrey, but I live here, too,” he said. Green Party spokesman Craig Spence said the party is anticipating Pitcairn will seek the nomination in Surrey-Panorama, although a nomination meeting has not yet been held. Spence said the party does not view the shirt issue as “something that would, in any way, preclude Mr. Pitcairn from running” for the party.
SBOT targets politicians
Businesses cite urgent demand for colleges Sheila Reynolds Black Press
The number of college and university student spaces in the South Fraser region needs to triple by 2025, says the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT), or Surrey will suffer both socially and economically. Thursday, the board presented a paper called Can the Future Learn in Surrey and the South Fraser?, stating investment in post-secondary education is “urgently needed.” The document says that with 940,000 people, the South Fraser region is the fastest-growing area of B.C., and yet there is relatively little local access for those wanting to attend college or university. While the area produces 22 per cent of B.C.’s high school graduates, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and SFU Surrey together provide less than 13 spaces per 100 residents aged 18 to 25. The rest of the province gets four times the number of seats, according to the report. Board CEO Anita Huberman says there needs to be a firm commitment from the province to invest in a phased-in approach that will triple the current number of university spots in the next 12 years. “This is going to be a key provincial election issue for us this year,” she said. “We’ll be asking all of the candidates, including the leaders of both parties, where they stand. We don’t want to hear ‘fiscal restraints,’ ‘challenging for the economy.’ There has to be a mindset that education is a fundamental foundation for driving our economy now and also in the future. “I want it to be a campaign promise.”

Surrey residents get an up-close view of plans and information panels for the revised Grandview Heights 4 Neighbourhood Concept Plan.
Environmentalists hopeful for revised Neighbourhood Concept Plan
Grandview ‘different from other areas’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter
More than 150 people came to examine maps and information panels – and ask questions – at a public open house on the Grandview Heights 4 Neighborhood Concept Plan at Cloverdale’s Shannon Hall last week. According to Stantec Consulting’s John Steil – one of those busy answering questions from the public during the opening hour of the meeting – the mood Wednesday evening was more curious than combative. “For some people, it’s an introduction,” he said, noting the proposed plan for the 201-hectare (497-acre) area, stretching from 176 Street to 184 Street between 20 Avenue and 32 Avenue is “quite different from other neighborhoods.” This was the second public open house on the now-revised plan, he said (the first was in May 2011) and an opportunity to show a draft ‘preferred land-use plan’ for the area, developed as a result of feedback from residents and
input from the citizens’ advisory committee, city staff and consultants. “We’ve been working with the citizens’ advisory committee over the last three years on this, so there should be no surprises (about public reaction),” he said. Because of the environmental sensitivity of the area – which abuts the Agricultural Land Reserve and is home to wildlife, stream networks and acres of protected trees – the plan calls for the preservation of a wildlife corridor and hub, plus provision of parks, watercourse areas and other green space, in addition to careful transitioning from high density residential development to low density. Cost of acquiring the wildlife corridor and the other green space has been estimated at $45 million, which city staff hope to pay for with a levy for builders of between $9,600 and $14,000 per dwelling. That aspect of the plan has already met with positive reaction from Deb Jack, president of
Surrey Environmental Partners. SEP member Steve Chitty was one of a number of people at the open house who live outside the area but are curious about the precedents Grandview 4 may set for future development. While he notes the plan has come a long way in addressing environmental concerns, there must still be questions about what this level of development will mean for the area and for Surrey as a whole. “I’m concerned about development out this way and what kind of transportation will support it,” he said. “There’s obviously some big money behind it.” Bhargav Parghi, a senior planner with the city, said Friday the meeting went well. “There were not too many big questions that emerged,” he said. Residents have until Feb. 28 to return feedback forms distributed at the open house, or voice comments and concerns through the city website for the plan, www.surrey.ca/GHNCP4

Finance Minister Mike de Jong rejected NDP criticism of his government’s sale of Crown land last week, and promised an update on the disposal of up to 100 properties when he presents his pre-election budget on Feb. 19. De Jong’s comments came after NDP leader Adrian Dix and finance critic Bruce Ralston Thursday visited one of the few properties whose location is known, a large vacant lot in Surrey that was bought in 1998 as a possible future hospital site. Ralston said the government has counted on raising $475 million in 2013 and more than $200 million the following year through asset sales, to help balance a 2013 budget after the current one ends in the red by $1.4 billion. “Over $700 million to fill a short-term hole in the budget,” Ralston said. “It’s not sustainable. It’s not good public policy.” De Jong said the Surrey property is an interesting choice, since a new Surrey Memorial Hospital is under construction adjacent to the old one. The site at Highway 10 and 152 Street was bought for $6 million and is currently assessed at $25 million. “It just makes eminent sense

B.C.’s loss will be a gain for Australia
T
he B.C. auditor-general, John Doyle, will not accept an extension to his term, as offered by a legislative committee which initially said it did not want to renew his contract. He has instead accepted an appointment as auditor general of the Australian state of Victoria. Doyle has rubbed the BC Liberal government the wrong way on many occasions. One such Liberal was MLA Eric Foster, whose expenses in regards to renovations of his constituency office in Vernon were not properly accounted for. The building was owned by his constituency assistant’s husband, and even though Foster was being audited, he chaired the committee which recommended Doyle not be re-appointed. Another area where Doyle dismayed the government was in looking into the $6 million in legal expenses paid by the government after Dave Basi and Bob Virk agreed to plead guilty in the BC Rail corruption case. Not only was this reimbursement against government policy, it came about in mid-trial, just as former finance minister Gary Collins was set to testify. While B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that Doyle cannot have access to the detailed expenses billed by Basi and Virk’s lawyers, this information will come out eventually – perhaps through a public inquiry, which other political parties have pledged to call, should the BC Liberals be defeated in the May election. Doyle’s expertise was applied closer to home as well. He was instrumental in helping Langley School District deal with its accumulated deficit, and offered specific recommendations to help the district set up a plan to pay it off. The deficit came about as the result of a number of shoddy accounting methods in place. The school district has followed those recommendations, and the deficit is being paid down at a faster rate than scheduled. His assistance in this area was invaluable. Doyle said last Tuesday that he was prepared to stay in B.C. for a full second term of six years. However, the committee only offered him two more years, after prodding from the premier, and he wasn’t prepared to take that, given how political the entire issue had become. An auditor general is expected to ask thorough questions and act as an advocate for taxpayers. Doyle has done that very well, and he will be sorely missed.

party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough organization to stage a leadership contest? The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the BC Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest that this brief three-week legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the BC Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it. He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Years without chlorination
No amount of spin can help
Editor: It is unfortunate that our city has “sold out” its formerly pristine water supply to an Alberta company that plans to chlorinate our water “because Fraser Health requires it.” Why, when we will be charged higher fees for upgrading of the system, do we now need chlorine when we never did in the past? Where was Fraser Health then? Aside from one localized area in response to pigeon droppings, Fraser Health and Epcor have allowed us for years to have one of the cleanest pure water sources in the world. And now, with costly upgrades to the whole system, we suddenly need poison in our water? Anyone can go online to read the toxic effects of this chemical. Why can’t we use other methods like ultra-violet light and ozone as is done in Coquitlam? Chilliwack only uses chlorine at source when water testing demands it. Why can’t we do this? It all sounds like “cover your ass” politics, and I say shame on our city council for selling us out. Beverley Cunningham, White Rock n I write to comment on the issue of chlorination of White Rock water. I am a water-supply consulting engineer, semi-retired. During my 50-year career, I worked in this field in eight provinces and in 18 other countries. My clients have varied from established engineering firms, to utilities such as City of Edmonton and international organizations such as the World Bank. One of my clients was Epcor, for whom I undertook a major consultancy 15 years ago for Port Hardy water treatment, and some minor assignments since, the last about four years ago. On the basis of that long-winded background, I proclaim that White Rock water should be chlorinated! And that has nothing to do with Epcor; it is a current fiat of the Health Officer which is based – finally – on concern for the wellbeing of those folks who drink from White Rock taps. Since I found out 25 years ago, when I moved to South Surrey, that White Rock water under the previous private utility, and subsequently with Epcor, was not chlorinated, I have been in a continual state of both astonishment and fear. What a chance the MOH was taking with people’s lives by not demanding chlorination for all those years. White Rock is served by groundwater from an aquifer that spreads beyond its boundaries. Aquifers are recharged by surface water, so there is always a chance – in varying degrees – of microbial contamination. Take the Walkerton case; Seven people died and more than 2,000 were taken ill because the contaminated groundwater source was not chlorinated. White Rockers should regard chlorination in the same way as stopping at a red light – annoying but safe! David Poole, Surrey
Editor: Re: Unfinished South Surrey business, Feb. 5 letters. In reply to the letter to the editor from Gateways Casinos’ James Chen, please accept that the people of South Surrey do not want a casino in their neighbourhood. No matter how much spin before and after the Surrey council meeting, your casino was not welcome here.
Many residents of South Surrey were not aware of this life-changing proposal. Whatever press releases, surveys or impact assessments done by you, BCLC, Surrey City Hall or provincial government were obviously not open enough. To satisfy all parties’ awareness of such impacts on any neighbourhood, there should be more than just a small notice in some local newspapers. For subdivisions and small road changes, this form of communication is acceptable. For something like a casino altering a quiet rural neighbourhood, obviously there
should have been a mail-out to all the local residents. Instead, a mail-out was done to less than 20 adjacent residents – 5,000 would have been more appropriate. The other part of this proposal stated South Surrey needs a hotel and conference centre. Well, there is one on the other side of Highway 99, the Pacific Inn. Maybe you recall at our local residents meeting there were close to 500 hundred people inside a Pacific Inn conference rooms – adequate in its size to inform you and BCLC that “you are not welcome in our community.” Martin Cooper, Surrey

Rich Coleman took issue with BC Liberal colleague Gordon Hogg’s statement that the energy minister had said residents won’t be forced to have smart meters. Instead, Coleman now says, BC Hydro will provide “re-education.”
The re-education of Rich Coleman Editor: Re: Coleman raps smart-meter response from MLA, Feb. 5. It seems, in light of Energy Minister Rich Coleman’s attempted correction of Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg’s statement (Smart meter opt-out ‘possible,’ Jan. 31) that there is, in fact, no clear policy on the issue of whether or not citizens will be forced to accept a smart meter. We are not living under a dictatorship – I hope – and we are customers of BC Hydro. It should be incumbent upon BC Hydro to treat its customers with respect and reverential dignity, as any successful business would do. Business succeeds when it observes the age-old rule: “The customer is always right.” Paul Appenheimer, Surrey n First they told us we want the HST without asking. Then they tell us we want smart meters without asking. Then they told us we want a casino in South Surrey without asking. And now I’m so pleased to hear I have not only Energy Minister Rich Coleman to tell me what I want, but that BC Hydro is there to “re-educate” me should I need it. Then they wonder why they are low in the polls. Judy Peterson, White Rock n I appreciate that Energy Minister Rich Coleman recognizes that those who have opposed the smartmeter program have legitimate concerns. However, for him to express the need to educate us regarding the program brings up troubling concerns. It is a fact that electromagnetic radiation from devices such as smart meters is harmful on a biological level and can lead to a variety of illnesses, including headaches, insomnia, skin rashes and cancer, to name a few. Coleman’s offer of education is puzzling. One cannot
re-educate away a fact. Any attempt to do so echoes troublingly of re-education camps and residential schools and attempts to instill beliefs that are against one’s will. It is arrogance to believe that re-education is all that is required to change our minds. We have the facts. We know the risks. We are unwilling – for ourselves and our families – to take those risks. Just because we oppose you, Mr. Coleman, does not mean that we are wrong and need to be re-educated. Vicki Lightfoot, Summerland n The confusion Energy Minister Rich Coleman has caused over smart meters in the past couple of weeks is wholly unsurprising. His own colleague, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, claims Coleman said there would be an opt-out for homeowners who didn’t want smart meters, while Coleman now denies that. If it’s true, it’s not the first time Coleman has done something like this. Almost 400 meter readers in communities across B.C. are facing layoffs due to these meters. Coleman told meter readers in a CKNW interview that BC Hydro would look after them through re-training them into other jobs, but two years later they’re still waiting. These workers have been unable to get Coleman or Premier Christy Clark to agree to meet on this issue, despite repeated requests. The ones who have not already received layoff notices continue to live in uncertainty and disappointment at this broken promise. The entire smart-meter process has been characterized by the government’s unwillingness to listen to the concerns of British Columbians. If they want to change that, they have to make sure they live up to both promises: to ensure homeowners have the right to refuse smart meters, and to retrain meter readers so they can continue to support their families and communities.

White Rock council celebrates community members
Artists honoured by city Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A baker’s dozen of arts-centric individuals and organizations were celebrated by White Rock council last week as ‘community inspirations.’ The list of nationally and internationally known honourees was far from complete, Mayor Baldwin noted in recognizing the 13 artists in attendance and another nine who were invited but were unable to attend the Monday session. As with an athlete recognition event held in October, there are “too many to do all in one go,” Baldwin said. But, he added, efforts are underway to create a permanent and public tribute for all the names; a commemorative wall or sidewalk plaque are among options being considered. “Tonight is really a night of celebration,” Baldwin said. About 100 people turned out for the occasion, which included a performance by Spiral Dance Company students. Spiral’s artisitic director, Loretta Sramek, was among those highlighted. Others chosen for the artists’ event were Haida carver Robert Davidson; bassoonist George Zukerman; ‘Mr. O Canada’ Mark Donnelly; painter/sculp-

Metro flu stance upsets Surrey staff The City of Surrey is upset that Metro is scrapping a plan to watch out for the potentially fatal West Nile Virus. Last year, Metro Vancouver and Fraser Health determined the virus is no longer a threat, and decided to stop spending $76,000 annually co-ordinating a response to it, while Surrey
staff argue the virus is found all over North America. Fraser Health doesn’t believe the public is at risk, so provincial funding for West Nile response has been cut off. Metro is asking its members for support in dismantling its response program. A two-thirds majority is needed.

Jewellery Case of smart-meter regret REPAIR SALE Feb. 14
th
Bill more than double after installation
Jennifer Lang
15 DAYS LEFT!
Black Press
Cloverdale’s Vern Keller had his doubts when BC Hydro contractors installed the new smart meter in his home 10 months ago, but he didn’t raise a ruckus. He didn’t put up a sign or build a cage around his old meter, like some smart meter resisters. Maybe he should have. The local retiree and Legion member opened his mail last week to find his power bill for the two months ending Jan. 20 was a staggering $684 – more than double the $329 he paid for roughly the same period a year ago, during a colder winter. “I might have used a little bit more, but not twice the amount, come on,” Keller said. “Double the amount plus $20 for the same dates over last year? Gee whiz, I’m telling you. I don’t own the power company, I’m just using some.” Now that it appears the controversial wireless smart meters won’t be forced on the last holdouts until after the May provincial election, if ever, Keller wishes he, too, had said no when he had the chance. “I didn’t want one, but I didn’t put a sign up in front that I didn’t want one,” he said. Keller called Hydro asking for his old analog meter back. “They said that’s not going to happen,” he said. “No way. There’s nothing I can do.” Keller spoke out after Energy Minister Rich Coleman said smart meters won’t be forced into homes over the next few months. For months, wirelessmeter opponents have shared strategies online to thwart BC Hydro

Vern Keller holds up his $684 BC Hydro bill, more than double previous bills. contractors from switching their old meters. Some refused to accept smart meters because they believe Hydro will eventually implement time-of-use pricing that charges more at peak periods – a strategy Coleman had previously ruled out. Last month, Coleman sought to calm confusion about the government policy, denying reports the province had reversed itself and will let objectors permanently opt out. “We’re going back to talk to our customers,” the minister said. “We’ll not force any customer to take a meter.” Coleman predicts most smart-meter opponents will ultimately agree to take them after they talk to BC Hydro reps. But exactly what will happen to holdouts is unclear.
Coleman said the next steps would be decided after “some re-education” and an effort to work with objectors in a “respectful” way. “(We’ll) see how many at the end of maybe two or three months we have left and then we’ll have a conversation about where we go from here,” he said. Asked whether the meters will ultimately be mandatory, Coleman said: “I’m not going to make that decision until I see the results of the next couple of months.” BC Hydro officials also said they’d take more time to work through customer concerns and won’t install meters without permission in households that oppose. But they note those who didn’t take such steps and now have a smart meter won’t be allowed to switch

back – no matter how the province ultimately handles the final holdouts. “We can’t remove a smart meter once it has been installed because they are now standard operating equipment like utility poles and power lines,” BC Hydro spokesman Greg Alexis said in an emailed statement. “Also, the old meters are being recycled and are no longer available.” Hydro officials have so far refused to disclose what proportion of smart meters are required in a given area for the new smart grid to function effectively. More than 1.74 million smart meters have so far been installed provincewide, pointing to a penetration rate of at least 93 per cent, with a combination of holdouts and accepting customers still to go.

Famous Vancouver chef to open restaurant in Morgan Crossing
Vikram Vij spices up South Surrey dinner Sarah Massah
I
Staff Reporter
t’s not every day that an aspiring chef is able to work alongside a legend like Vikram
Vij. But for 10-year-old Dale Maternick, last Tuesday was no ordinary day. The foodie – along with parents Drew and Debbie, sister Dana and family friends – was treated to a private cooking class and dinner at a South Surrey gourmet shop from the acclaimed Vancouver chef and restaurateur. “You’re my assistant today, we’re putting you to work,” Vij said, inviting Dale into the kitchen, where sous chef Sital Dale showed him how to gently place chutney atop the mung-bean salad. The Maternick family – who are big fans of Indian food – bid on the dinner and class at last year’s Nite of Hope, the final event before the White Rock/South Surrey branch of the breast-cancer fundraiser went on an indefinite hiatus. After nearly a year of organizing the dinner, nothing could stop the family from digging in to Vij’s offerings, not even hours of travel. “I was in Ottawa for business, then I flew to Edmonton and then drove back to B.C.,” laughed Drew, as he arrived at Kitchen Therapy in Grandview Corners. “I’m here now and ready to eat.” The smell of garlic, ginger and fragrant spices wafted into the street as guests walked in and were greeted by Vij’s friend, Tracey Valente, dressed in red ornate sari, and her fellow Nite of Hope committee member, Karen Ebenal. A traditional bindi – red forehead decoration – was placed between the arrivals’ eyebrows, and delicate yellow and purple flower petals sprinkled over their heads. Over the upbeat Indian-style music, the chef stopped to introduce himself to each, urging them to dig into the food he had prepared, with ingredients provided by the chef and Kitchen Therapy owners Robbin Lich and

Brent Bondarenko. “Welcome, welcome. My name is Vikram Vij. Come and have something to eat,” he said. “There’s only one fish cake left, that means you should have it.” Guests were treated to dishes that fused local ingredients with Indian techniques, including Vij’s famous chicken curry and cinnamon-scented lamb curry, all paired with local wines, as well as pointers for how to recreate the recipes at home. “If anyone says they are allergic
to curry, they are (BS-ing) you. There are so many different spices in curry – cumin, coriander, cloves,” Vij told his guests. “That’s like saying I don’t like music. There are so many different songs.” The chef ’s larger-than-life personality was the perfect accompaniment to the bold aromas and flavours that filled the guests’ dinner plates. Vij transitioned from explaining techniques to joking with his audience, all while keeping an eye

on the dishes. The night also served as an introduction to Vij for those who had not attended one of his cooking classes locally at Choices Market. The world-renowned chef plans to open his third restaurant, My Shanti, in Morgan Crossing, on the heels of relocating his production facility for his takehome food products to Surrey in 2011. “There are so many local ingredients here. Why would you use a canned tomato or a tomato
from Mexico, when you can use a fresh and local one, grown right here?” Vij said. “People think I’ve just decided to start focusing on local, but I always have. I get my chicken from the Fraser Valley and I’m inspired by all the vegetables from Surrey. “I’m using those local ingredients but with Indian spices and techniques. I’m bridging that gap and showing people what they can do with the ingredients they have.”

Parents organize activities to share culture
Students celebrate Chinese New Year Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Students at Semiahmoo Trail Elementary got a head start on Sunday’s Chinese New Year celebrations last Thursday with a variety of activities held at the school. Organized by parent Adele Yu – with support from a number of other parents who have a Chinese heritage – the celebration included cartoons being shown on a projector screen, children’s music, decorations and stations showcasing significant Chinese symbols to educate children on the culture. Stations included striking a gong while blindfolded and being guided by fellow students and a ring toss. “The gong, when you hit it, you hear that sound and it’s for fortune and good luck,” Yu explained.
“With the ring toss, it symbolizes securing your fortune.” Yu, who is the school’s parent advisory council communications liaison, said she was first approached about doing something to celebrate Chinese culture by the PAC chair. “There are 28 Chinese families in this school, and we were all so excited to share our culture with the rest of the school,” Yu said. Most importantly, Yu said, she hoped that the event helped bridge a gap between the communities and create more understanding about the many cultures that are in the school. “We’re so happy and so grateful for all the great support we receive here. We wanted to thank the community and bring everyone together,” she said.

Jackson has been a big part of the turnaround. Jackson is second on the team with 17.7 points per game while averaging just under 31 minutes per contest. He also has a team-high 7.7 rebounds per game. “He is an ultra competitor,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen, who has known Jackson since the player was a sixth-grader. He also coached Jackson for three seasons on the White Rock Christian Warriors senior boys team. “He is going to try and find a way to win. He is relentless.” The big thing Jackson brings is versatility, which allows the Spartans to take advantage of whatever mismatch they can create. If a big man is covering him, Jackson is comfortable stepping outside and hitting the outside shot. And if the opponent tries to put a smaller, quicker player on him, Jackson will work in the post to exploit his height advantage. “It is a tough mismatch and that just opens up opportunities for other players,” Allen said. For his part, Jackson is just happy to be back playing with passion. “It is just great to come in and contribute,” he said. “I still take basketball very seriously, and am glad I came back. “It stretches you physically, mentally and emotionally, and I think I would have regretted those things if I didn’t play as long as I could.” Jackson, who had a 4.15 grade point average last semester, still has two years of eligibility remaining, which he plans to use while doing his master’s at TWU.

Craighead commits to Rivermen Black Press
The Langley Rivermen have landed a player with some hockey bloodlines with the commitment of forward Darien Craighead for the 2013/14 season. Craighead, who turns 16 on March 7, currently plays for the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League and has 16 goals and 28 points in 30 games. Craighead is the son of former pro hockey player John Craighead, who played more than 600 games professionally —
including one season for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1996/97. “It is one of those things where we believe in bloodlines,” said Rivermen coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “We have been pretty close with their family for a number of years and it has given me plenty of opportunity to watch Darien play. “He has put in a lot of hard work in the past couple of years and we believe he is on the right track to becoming an elite player. “If you watch Darien play,
