Mayor calls for cameras on rural street
Police continue to issue tickets to thousands of B.C. drivers for using handheld devices while behind the wheel. Texting at red lights is also prohibited.
Two more bodies discovered on Colebrook Road
BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER
by Kevin Diakiw Surrey’S mayor is considering
installing closed circuit TV cameras (CCTV) and lighting along an isolated stretch of road where four bodies have been found in the last two months. On Wednesday at 2 a.m. police found two bodies on a stretch of Colebrook Road near 125A Street. The body of a man was first found by police, then a search of the area turned up the body of a female. The identities of the victims have not been determined, but Sgt. Jennifer Pound with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says foul play is suspected. Wednesday morning’s disdianne Watts covery comes after the body of 26-six-year old Jaskaran Singh Sandhu was found in the area on Jan. 28. That murder was gang-related, police say. Then on Feb. 24, the charred remains of 29-year-old Amritpal Saran of Delta were found. He was known to police, but investigators don’t believe the killing was gangrelated. Pound said the bodies will have to be identified before it’s determined if there’s any connection between the discoveries. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the body count on Colebrook is unacceptable.

SHEILA REYNOLDS / THE LEADER
Shayne Smith
admiT iT, Shayne Smith tells his listeners, when you see him, you feel sorry for him or think he’s weird looking or even repulsive. Tell the truth, he urges, he can take it. The 24-year-old has pretty much heard it all. Last week, he reciprocated that honesty and shared some stories, blunt insight, and hard-hitting inspiration with students at Sullivan Heights Secondary. From his wheelchair, Smith took several classes of Grade 10 students back in time to
when he was four months old. It was 1988 and his mom was driving him to daycare when she noticed a red mark on his arm. She looked away, thinking it was nothing. Minutes later, she saw more spots. And then more. “Within that 10-minute drive, I was no longer white,” Smith told the room of teens. “I was black and red.” By the time he got to hospital, he was gasping for air. “My baby’s dying!” his mom shouted to whoever would listen in the ER.
The eventual diagnosis, after a seizurefilled transfer to a second hospital, was that Smith had a rare form of meningitis that affected his blood flow, forcing the amputation of several body parts. Doctors told his mom, who slept by the toddler’s side in hospital for eight months, that her son had less than a two-per-cent chance of survival. That was enough for her. She fought for his care then – and throughout his challenging upbringing. See SMITH / Page 4

Smith: Spoke at Sullivan Heights “So, why should you guys care?” Smith asked Sullivan students. “I’m here to tell you that you are the ones who decides what happens to you. The only limits we have are the ones we put on ourselves.” Today, with no legs, one hand missing, partial fingers on the other hand, and a body blanketed in scars, Smith says he’s the poster child for someone who shouldn’t have achieved much in life. An energetic kid, he began playing wheelchair basketball at age eight. It took four years before he scored his first basket. “Why? Because I never gave up. I never quit. I kept going.” By 14 he was kicked out of his basketball league. He was too good. Officials placed him on a team with
18- to 22-year-olds. By the next year he was on the Canadian Junior wheelchair basketball squad – one of the youngest players ever. He went on to play at two Canada Games, one of which he was not only chosen captain by his teammates, but represented Team Ontario and carried the flag in the opening ceremony. “That’s a long way from that kid who was told he wasn’t going to amount to anything, huh?” He told students they have to believe they’re the best at everything they do and that failing or facing challenges makes success that much sweeter. “There’s nothing that we cannot achieve.” Sponsored by Tutor Doctor, Smith spoke at Sullivan Heights, Pacific Academy and several other venues as part of the Why Factor program, which promotes a better life through confidence-raising education.

More freebies offered for unsigned Port Mann drivers Rebate offered for those who ring up processing fees by Jeff Nagel Drivers who cross the new Port Mann Bridge
and still haven’t signed on to the TReO electronic tolling system are being offered another round of incentives to register. More than 750,000 drivers already signed on to TReO by the end of February, when an offer of half-price tolls for the rest of the year expired. Those who didn’t register by then must pay their $3 full-price tolls quickly or else they get hit with an extra fee. A $2.30 licence plate processing fee waived for the first three months is now being added to what unregistered drivers must pay if they fail to pay a toll within a week of crossing. But holdouts who sign up by the end of June will get a rebate of any processing fees they rang up in the previous 30 days turned into a future credit on their account. New registrants also get a credit for two free trips. The processing fee is to recoup the costs of contacting ICBC to confirm the driver’s postal address and then mail the invoice. “Our hope is that no one is charged that fee either because they’re registered or they’re taking advantage of the payment methods we have,” Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Max Logan said. He said TReO registrants now make up more
than 80 per cent of bridge users – much better than the typical 70 per cent for new electronic toll bridges. “We’re very pleased with that result,” he said, but added they wanted to offer another carrot to people who may be new arrivals in the region or just got a driver’s licence. Bridge operators want as many users as possible to be detected via windshield decals – a more reliable system than the licence plate cameras – and to have automatic payment set up. “Having that many people signed up contributes to the efficiency and overall accuracy of the system.” Logan said he’s not concerned that some drivers may try to foil the licence plate cameras and avoid paying to cross the Port Mann. “The cameras are very sophisticated, they’re high-powered and they use infrared as well,” he said. “They can read licence plates whether threy’re dirty or covered.” Any attempt to obscure a licence plate can also result in a ticket for toll evaders who are caught by the RCMP. “If your licence plate is obscured, it is an offence,” said RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald. Meanwhile, time is running out for drivers who signed up early and got a credit for 20 free trips to use them. Anything left of that $30 value is wiped off all accounts at the end of May.

Dosanjh has made the comment that apologizing for historical wrongs isn’t necessary. When Mr. Dosanjh was younger he used to be a Communist, as he got older he became a member of the NDP, and then switched to the Liberal party. There’s only one party left for him to join: the Conservatives. Although he was the spokesperson for an apology to the Chinese community on the head tax, we can’t really be sure on what his views will be the next day. One thing is certain, Mr. Dosanjh is willing to make controversial comments as his main aim is to end up in the media. I hope one day he’ll stand firm on his beliefs. Mohdeep Atwal

In 2009, it felt as though the bricks were tumbling down around me as young people fled to Australia and North America. I had heard stories of this happening before, but to my generation they were like folklore
and a time long ago. I have lived in Vancouver and loved it, but in June 2012 my partner and I were fed up renting what I consider to be sub-standard accommodation. Owning dogs limited our options. This is when I came across Surrey listings. Friends cautioned, “It’s dangerous there!” I had heard East Van described similarly and from my experience,
there are no places in the Lower Mainland that I have ever felt unsafe. The image Vancouverites conjure up about Surrey is similar to how many North Americans envision Ireland. However, my experience of Ireland is not one of frolicking through green pastures with leprechauns, while car bombs explode on the horizon.

pavements. I am by no means saying that Surrey does not have its problems but that it’s worth considering how the distorted image of a place could be a far greater reason for why a city struggles to heal than we give it credit for. I enjoy Surrey so much so that I felt called to write about it. It is a rapidly changing city, vividly apparent with grandiose apartments and disheveled sex shops. I witnessed the rapid expansion of Dublin and its consequential demise, but there is something very different about how this city is moving. There is a wellthought-out plan for every step and a great mayor behind it. Perhaps I am lucky to be looking at Surrey with new eyes and having experienced what happens to a city sarah Flynn when its eyes are shut tight. My hope in writing this is that readers might feel a little extra pride for their city. Maybe an outsider’s perspective may help residents dust off their city’s old coat and hold their heads a little higher. Maybe I’ll inspire those in neighbouring cities to begin to consider how unrealistic our images of a place could be. For if not, and they are to visit Ireland someday, they will be surely disappointed to not find a leprechaun anywhere in sight. Sarah Flynn
Many things make up a great school
EvEry yEar, the Fraser Institute’s
ranking of schools prompts discussion and debate about what makes a great school. The rankings are based largely on the results of the provincewide Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) that examines the literacy and numeracy skills of all B.C. students in Grades 4 and 7. The FSA does provide some valuable information for principals, for parents and for districts to make some educational choices. However, as the Minister of Education, a teacher and a dad, I want your readers to know that the measure of a great school is not just
based on one test. Great schools have a real and tangible school culture with excellent teachers and robust teacher support, active family engagement, supportive environmental conditions, strong social and emotional student growth, and a school-wide climate of high expectations. They also foster a broad set of student skills, in addition to producing high test scores. A great school promotes not just academics, but also sports, arts, theatre and other activities. They build confidence and inspire our children to learn. Throughout British Columbia, school districts and teachers are
working hard to create vibrant learning environments that support the learning experience of all students. In some districts that could mean more First Nations material. In other districts, courses with an urban focus and in others, it could mean wilderness training, science, or high tech courses. Finally, other school districts might focus more on skills and trades training. The lesson here is that great schools are flexible enough to respond to student and teacher needs. Parents who want to make better, more informed decisions about where to send their children to school need to visit schools in their
district to find out first-hand what kind of athletic programs or artistic programs the school offers. Parents need to meet the teachers, the principal, the teacher aides in a variety of schools. Anyone who takes the time to do this will quickly learn two valuable things: that there are a lot of factors that go into making a great school and it is not difficult to find great schools in the province of British Columbia.

Liz and Frank never missed a beat…
two men accused of murdering a 21-yearold Surrey woman in 2005 says she was approached twice by one of the Crown’s witnesses, who asked for money in exchange for not testifying against her son. Amjad Khan and Naim Saghir are currently on trial for firstdegree murder in the death of Tasha Rossette, who died in the doorway of her home after her throat was slashed and she was stabbed more than 40 times. In New Westminster Supreme Court Monday, Khan’s mom, Sher Khan, said Harvinder Saran
showed up at her house in April 2008. An old friend of her son’s, she said she hadn’t seen Saran for 12 or 13 years. Sher Khan said he asked for $60,000. “He said ‘I am the key witness and if I don’t testify against your son, he is a free man’,” Sher told the court, later clarifying he said if he got the cash, he would “disappear or… go in front of a judge and say the cops told me to lie.” She told him she didn’t have the money. Saran ended up testifying at Khan and Saghir’s 2008 trial that Khan tried to hire him to kill Rossette. He didn’t take the offer, he said, and instead told police about it. Khan and Saghir were convicted in 2008 after a

up at her house again in September 2011. He told her he was asked to testify at the retrial, but wouldn’t if the Khans gave him money. This time, Sher Khan said, he didn’t specify how much he wanted, but she again said she didn’t have the money. She said she saw Saran twice after that but didn’t speak to him. Sher Khan testified she phoned her lawyer after both visits from Saran, but never called police “because that was a police witness.” Even when police visited the Khan home this January, Sher Khan said she didn’t tell them everything, saying they’d hear it in court. Crown prosecutor Donna Ballyk questioned her truthfulness and her identifying of Saran in surveillance video, suggesting the witness never went to her home.

“He came to my house, I’m not lying,” Sher Khan insisted, adding although she wants her son acquitted, she
was telling the truth. The Crown’s theory is that Tasha Rossette was a pregnant with Amjad Khan’s child, but that he wanted the pregnancy ended for fear of sham-
ing his family, and she wouldn’t have an abortion. Sher Khan testified many people in her family have had relationships outside the Muslim religion her

frazzled with scratches on him. He said he’d dealt with Khan’s “problem” and admitted he had killed Rossette. The defence, however, contends there may be

a third party who could be responsible for the crime. As in the first trial, Ruby Jubbal took the stand last week, telling of a sham marriage she paid Rossette to enter into with a man from India. But Rossette, she said, kept wanting more money and threatened to tell the authorities about the fraudulent marriage. On Tuesday morning, Khan’s lawyer Robert (Bob) Claus suggested there was “ample” evidence before the court that Jubbal had a motive, means, and opportunity to murder Rossette. He said Jubbal had a reputation of violence in the community and at the time, lived with a man (Nash Bagri) who was not only violent, but also wore the same brand of K-Swiss shoes as was found in a bloody footprint at the crime scene. “That evidence is sufficient to lend an air of reality to the theory that someone else is responsible for this death,” said Claus. But Crown prosecutor Satinder Sidhu argued if Jubbal was trying to keep the sham marriage a secret, murder would only bring it into the light. “To kill Miss Rossette would not assist her in any way,” she said, noting that though Jubbal is a known fraudster, she has no convictions for violence. In fact, she noted that Jubbal testified she liked Rossette and that during their last conversation, Rossette was trying to smooth things over between them. As for Bagri, Sidhu said that though he was violent, he had no motive to kill Rossette, as he wasn’t involved in the fake marriage scenario. There was also no evidence the shoe print was his and could also have been another woman’s who had been on scene, wore the same brand and was the same size (7) as the print. The trial continues.

Brian: Series of jail stints and hospital stays From page 1 It pains Gordon Bylo to see his son locked up, when he can see in Brian’s eyes that he clearly belongs in a hospital. Gordon blames a series of systemic failures for ensuring Brian is being treated like a criminal, rather than a patient. Twelve years ago, Brian Bylo, now 30, was every parent’s dream child. The B+ Holy Cross High School student was playing district-level soccer, where he was the leader of his group, an all-star midfielder, and a model player. He never got involved in on-field scraps. He dreamed of pursuing a career in sales and marketing, where he showed innate skills. Brian remained a rising star until Grade 12. “Midway through the year, we saw him retreating, grades starting to fall, and delays in the morning getting out to school,” Gordon remembers. His mother Virginia thought it was just a result of his “teenagehood.” “I missed, in hindsight, some important signs,” Virginia says. Brian walked in the family’s Delta home one evening, holding his head, and said, “I can’t take this anymore.” He was referring to the voices in his head that would go on to torment him for more than a decade. The voices were loud and fast, but weren’t giving him any specific message. But they just wouldn’t stop. After hearing about Brian’s complaints, Gordon took him to a doctor right away, where he was initially misdiagnosed as bipolar, then told he had paranoid schizophrenia. From there, he was admitted to the psychiatric ward at Peace Arch Hospital (PAH). “At that point, Brian was right out of it,” Gordon says. “He didn’t even know what day it was.” Brian spent two months on the fifth floor of PAH, where he was assessed and attempts were made to stabilize him. “We thought he could just go back to normal life,” Gordon says. Eventually, all efforts by Gordon and Virginia seemed to be for naught. After Brian turned 18, efforts to obtain updates on his medical condition were blocked by the
provincial privacy act. That summer, Gordon got Brian a job, but the schizophrenia got worse. By November, the Bylos were witnessing much more psychosis. Brian was heavily medicated again, and the voices were silenced for the most part. However, as it is with many people with such mental illness, when the medication isn’t working well, or when the side effects are unwanted, the patient often turns to street drugs. In 2008, Brian started using cocaine. It’s expensive, and for someone who’s unemployed, it meant seeking unorthodox forms of income. Stealing household equipment for his fix became Brian’s daily routine. He was, by all description, an amicable crook. At one point, he took a lawnmower from a person’s front lawn and

walked it up the street. The police arrived, and Brian turned and introduced himself and tried to shake their hands. He was promptly arrested and charged with theft under $5,000. On another occasion, Brian was having a psychotic episode outside the Newton home where he was living. Specialized mental health police Car 67 arrived and diagnosed him as needing a stay in the psychiatric ward at the hospital. But by the time he was seen at the emergency ward, his symptoms had abated, and he was released. Gordon calls it the ER wall. For Brian, from 2008 to today, there have been 57 court entries, mostly separate charges, including petty theft and breaches of probation and recognizance. Brian says he’s been to jail 30 times in the past four years, a figure Gor-
don calls “about right.” He’s currently at the Fraser Valley Regional Correctional Facility, doing time on what he calls the “medical range,” which can provide him with the medication he needs. He’s there for breach of probation, and will stay locked up until April 15. The voices, he says, are gone now that he’s on antipsychotic medicine. “They all went away when they put me on a specific medication,” Brian said in an interview with The Leader from jail. “I don’t hear voices anymore, like loud voices.” He says he’s off cocaine for now, but doesn’t rule out turning to street drugs for relief in the future. “I’ve been clean from my drug of choice for four months now, so I’m pretty happy about that,” Brian said. However, he said,
crack cocaine makes him feel less tense. “I don’t want more… that only happens the odd time, and that’s when I get into trouble.” Gordon realizes any chance of a normal life for Brian will require he stop using illicit drugs. The problem is, most substance abuse recovery facilities in this country won’t take him because of his troublesome bouts of psychosis. As for sending Brian to the United States for treatment, Gordon says that’s a non-starter now that his son has a criminal record. Gordon says one of the biggest hurdles for the family is that his son’s medical condition is being treated criminally, rather than in a hospital setting. But he realizes that would require a sea change in the way policy makers consider the treatment of mental illness and addiction.

The personal turmoil became too much for young Janice Brown, who began to experience psychotic episodes of her own. At 17, she was institutionalized at Riverview, diagnosed with manic depression and paranoid schizophrenia. She was medicated and treated surgically.
The medication helped quell the psychosis, which came in episodes during which she would cry about a lifetime of pain and loss. Periodically – especially after self-medicating by smoking marijuana – those episodes would re-emerge. Like a “skipping record,” says her brother Ed, Janice would “relive
it, relive it, relive it.” Grasping for some modicum of normalcy, Janice married at age 18, taking on the surname Shore, and went on to have three children. But the losses kept piling up. Because of her fragile mental condition, the kids were taken and put into government care when they

had his appeal denied. Amardeep Singh Lally Narwal was a found guilty of uttering threats to cause body harm in connection to an incident that took place the evening of Sept. 22, 2010. Inderjit Bisla, the owner of Bisla Martial Arts on 128 Street near 82 Avenue, testified during the original trial that a Cadillac Escalade driven by Narwal pulled up in his business parking lot. Narwal said he wanted to talk and as Bisla approached, the tinted back window of the Escalade rolled halfway down. Narwal’s co-accused pointed what appeared to Bisla to be a gun. It turned out the gun was fake. Bisla ran and testified Narwal said “come here, come here” and he and Nachatar (Nash) Bagri uttered words to the effect of “why don’t you come in front of us now” and “we’ll see you, we’ll take care of you.”
Bagri was also convicted of uttering threats to cause death of bodily harm. On appeal, Narwal’s lawyer argued that the trial judge didn’t determine the threats were made at the same time the imitation gun was drawn, or that Narwal even knew Bagri was pointing the fake firearm from the backseat. The lawyer said the words alone couldn’t have been interpreted as threatening. Justice Gordon Weatherill didn’t buy the argument. He said the trial judge’s reasons clearly stated the use of the imitation gun was not the basis upon which the required intent was found. “Rather, Mr. Bagri’s use of an imitation firearm accentuated the intent on the part of both the appellant and Mr. Bagri that their words and actions were meant to be taken seriously,” wrote Weatherill in his March 4 judgment. “As the trial judge stated, this was not an innocent visit to the parking lot. The appellant and Mr. Bagri were following through on a premeditated plot to threaten the complainant.”

Man accused of sex assaults pleads not guilty Steven Andrew Beszedes facing 24 charges after Surrey sex trade workers attacked
by Sheila Reynolds A mAn accused of
drugging, sexually assaulting and robbing several people – most of them Surrey sex trade workers – between 2005 and 2010 pleaded not guilty to 24 charges in New Westminster Supreme Court Monday. Steven Andrew Beszedes was 45 years old when he was arrested in November 2010 and charged with 12 criminal offences, but the number of charges was doubled as more witnesses were located. Crown lawyers contend Beszedes drugged vulnerable people for his own benefit, often leaving them unconscious in bushes or parking lots after sexually assaulting and/or robbing them. All of the alleged 10 victims, except one, are female and most were sex trade workers. “Because of this,” said prosecutor Beverly Lane, “their complaints were not taken seriously.” It wasn’t until a pattern began to emerge within the community that an investigation began, Lane said. Monday marked the first day of what’s scheduled to be a lengthy trial before Justice James Williams. Lane outlined the testimony she expects the court will hear in the coming weeks. All the women claim they were offered free drugs by Beszedes, said Lane, who said the man would tell them the white powder was crack, methamphetamine, or heroin. Some of the women knew him from prior
number matches that of Beszedes, the Crown said. Wearing a grey
suite, Beszedes, a tall, slim man with balding salt and pepper hair, listened from the
prisoner’s box to the Crown’s case against him, waving once to an acquaintance in
the court gallery. He was in custody on an unrelated matter prior to his arrest in 2010
and has been in jail since. The trial continues.

encounters, while others did not know him. Almost immediately after smoking, injecting or snorting the offered drugs, the women, said Lane, reported passing out, sometimes not waking up for a day or two. Many said they awoke either naked or with no underwear, feeling as if they’d been sexually assaulted. Several, said Lane, will also testify their personal belongings, such as cash and jewelry, were missing after their encounter with Beszedes. At least two of the alleged victims identified Beszedes from police photos. One alleged victim was a man who used Craigslist to find a casual sexual encounter in 2010. The Crown will argue that he arranged a threesome with Beszedes and a woman and they all met at the man’s motor home on a rural Langley property. The man’s landlord had seen Beszedes and the woman enter the motor home and leave and attempted to call his renter. When he got no response, he went to the motor home and found the male. His pants were down and he couldn’t be roused. In hospital, his urine contained the sedative benzodiazepine. The Crown’s theory is that it is the same drug as was administered during the encounters with the women. Video surveillance from the Langley property was also seized as were cellphone records from the alleged male victim’s phone, which shows the last

Transit fare cheats are still slow to pay fines
Number of people caught riding without paying decreases by Jeff Nagel Most transit fare
cheaters busted by police still aren’t paying their $173 fines to TransLink despite new powers to punish them that took effect last fall. TransLink says about 20 per cent of the 16,000 fare evaders caught and ticketed between Sept. 4 and the end of February have now paid their fines. That’s up a bit from the roughly 16-per-cent payment rate in past years when TransLink had no way to enforce payment. The provincial government last spring passed Bill 51, which makes ICBC block auto insurance and driver’s licence renewals for fare evaders who don’t pay fines, and lets TransLink dispatch bill collectors as well.

TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said the payment rate may climb higher because non-paying riders have 90 days to pay and those fined in December, January or February would still have had time when the end-of-February statistics were compiled. “Bill 51 needs to be
in place for more than a year for us to start to see any sort of trends and get a good understanding of what’s happening out there,” Zabel said. He said 35 per cent of the fines issued have been sent to a collections agency, while TransLink has asked ICBC to bar renewals

2013 GOOD CITIZEN AWARD the city of Surrey council invites suggestions for the 2013 Good citizen Award. this honour is awarded on an annual basis to a person who has given outstanding service for the betterment of our community over the years. Any private individual or service group is invited to submit nominations for council’s consideration. the Good citizen Award for 2013 will be presented at the 2013 Volunteer Appreciation event. Written nominations from private individuals or service groups are welcome. Submissions should describe the outstanding service or volunteer work the nominee has done for the enhancement of the city of Surrey and include supporting documentation such as: letter(s) of support, special recognition or award(s) received, newspaper clippings, etc. All nominations (with supporting documentation) should be submitted to the city clerk’s office at 14245 56 Avenue, Surrey, b.c., V3X 3A2, or submitted electronically to clerks@surrey.ca no later than Thursday, March 28, 2013.

for 583 others so far. Fare evasion fines go up $40 if they’re not paid within six months and they go up $100 if unpaid after a year. Transit Police conducted 1.15 million fare checks from September to the end of February – 200,000 more than the same period of the previous year – but 2,000 fewer tickets were issued. Zabel said that suggests more passengers are now paying their fares instead of risking a ticket and fare evasion rates may be dropping. “It shows you that Bill 51 is working, the message is getting out there,” he said. “It was designed to get people to pay their fare. We don’t want to be out there writing millions of tickets and collecting millions of dollars in fine revenue.” TransLink now gets paid fines, which used to be collected by the province. TransLink will introduce its new Compass smart card later this year as fare gates being installed are activated. That will also reduce the scope for fare evasion, according to Zabel. Regular riders won’t have to go to a store to buy their monthly fare cards or FareSaver tickets either. Instead they can add more cash to their Compass card at any time, or program it to automatically load more money on when the cash remaining gets below a certain level. Zabel said someone who loses a registered Compass card won’t be out the cost of their monthly pass, as is the case now. The old card will be deactivated so nobody who finds it can use it and the remaining credit will be transferred to the replacement card.

be $5 million. Narwal’s defence was that he had no knowledge of the cocaine. He said he had been told by a dispatcher for the trucking company to take a tractor unit from Surrey, drive to a specific truck stop in Washington State, and pick up an empty trailer there. He said he was told to drive to Los Angeles with the empty trailer to pick up a rush load of produce for return to B.C. Narwal said the order was then cancelled when he arrived in California, and he returned with the empty trailer. He said he provided fake documentation at the border to make it appear he had only been in the U.S. for a day in order not to be caught having driven more than the authorized number of hours on the trip without taking downtime. Justice John Truscott concluded whoever loaded the cocaine on the trailer did so without Narwal’s knowledge “so that the accused would not appear nervous at the border or disappear with the cocaine.”

He presented documentation – later shown to be fake – indicating he had delivered a load of peppers from a farm in Delta to a grocery store in Auburn, Wash. In fact, evidence showed Narwal had travelled from Surrey to Los Angeles, California. During an inspection of the trailer, a border guard noticed noticed two washers holding screws to a metal plate at the back of a refrigeration unit appeared scratched, “as if the plate had been removed and replaced repeatedly,” court documents states. The officer removed one of the screws, peered behind and pulled out two kilograms of cocaine. The plate was completely removed, showing that part of the fridge had been hollowed out. A total of 144 kilograms of cocaine was discovered. The street value of the drugs was estimated to

Panther Constructors hopes Vancouver will follow Abbotsford’s lead
Finding affordable living in the Lower Mainland Affordable housing has been in the news a lot lately, and developers are looking to appeal to buyers who may not be able to afford as much in an expensive real estate market. Brian Roche, president of Panther Constructors, is hoping that Vancouver will take a page out of Abbotsford’s book and implement a rezoning plan that will allow developers in Chinatown to offer more affordable homes to buyers in an area that is rapidly becoming popular. “Abbotsford took a piece of property and rezoned it to make it more affordable,” Roche says. “They offered it to developers to buy, and built
affordable housing.” This prevented buyers from leaving the area and moving to less-expensive communities, such as Mission. Roche says this is something that he is hoping to see in Vancouver as well. Panther is looking for the city to find ways to either reduce prices on the land in the area or cap the current price. Since Panther purchased the land for The Flats on Georgia, their condo development in Chinatown, other developers have taken notice and begun working on their own projects. “Chinatown has become a hotbed,” says Roche. “Prices have gone up quite substantially.”

Coquitlam welcomes Emerson to the neighbourhood By Kerry Vital
Georgian architecture with modern interiors is arriving in West Coquitlam with MOSAIC’s EMERSON, already under construction on Como Lake Avenue near North Road. “EMERSON will be a block from the coming Evergreen Line,” says MOSAIC’s Geoff Duyker. “In the near future, this whole area will look totally different. The halo of the Evergreen Line combined with some exciting mixed-used projects will bring new high-street retail and breathe vibrant life into everything.” While the convenient transit orientation of Evergreen Heights has huge appeal to shoppers, the neighbourhood has other amenities to offer. “EMERSON is close to Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby Mountain campus,” says Duyker. “This has brought both first-time buyers and parents investing for their children.” Shops and restaurants are minutes away in either direction at Lougheed Town Centre, Newport Village or Little Korea on North Road. Plus, you’ll also find the big box convenience of United Boulevard a few minutes away. Recreation and leisure activities are available at the parks in the area, as well as fishing at Como Lake, golfing at the Vancouver Golf Club or a workout at Steve Nash Fitness World – all nearby. EMERSON will hold 63 apartment
residences in a variety of one- and twobedroom floorplans ranging from 589 to over 700 square feet. “Already 70 per cent sold, homebuyers are recognizing EMERSON’s phenomenal value relative to other options on the market,” says Duyker. Inspired by Georgian architecture, EMERSON will have plenty of red brick and black metal work, mullioned windows and layers of landscaping. Buyers with a green thumb will find plots for herbs and vegetables, but you don’t need to be a nature lover to enjoy the garden greenscape with trellises and benches perfect for a picnic. Inside, the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the penthouse level) heighten the sense of space to the home, complemented by large windows that let the light pour in, whatever the weather. The main living areas feature laminate wood flooring throughout, with an elegant tile threshold with granite inset in the entry – a MOSAIC
signature. The beauty continues in the kitchen, with its polished composite quartz countertop and two-tone flat-panel cabinetry. The stainless-steel appliances and glass tile backsplash are lit by under-cabinet task lighting, while the open shelving and under-cabinet spice ledge, all designed by MOSAIC, are masterstrokes of convenience and contemporary style. Moving into the bathrooms, you will find porcelain tile flooring and polished composite quartz countertops, complemented by the polished chrome
and white glass pendant light fixtures. The deep soaker tub is perfect for a soak, while the wood-framed niche with inset glass shelves beside the vanity in the ensuite is a special touch that demonstrates the design-driven details in a MOSAIC home. “MOSAIC is passionate about great design,” says Duyker. “We build better homes.” Homes at EMERSON start in the low $200,000s. For more information, visit mosaichomes.com/emerson, call 604936-9300 or check out the Home Store and model home at 608 Como Lake Avenue, West Coquitlam.

Major Midget League team falls in deciding game of series
Season ends in the Okanagan by Rick Kupchuk They sTaved off elimination
once, but the Valley West Hawks couldn’t do it a second time. The BC Major Midget Hockey League team forced a deciding game in their best-of-three series with the Okanagan Rockets, then saw their season come to an end Sunday morning in Kelowna, losing 8-3. Okanagan also won the first game of the quarterfinal series by a 6-4 score Friday night. The Hawks got their lone win of Matt Bradley the weekend Saturday by a 4-1 margin. The Rockets finished third in the 11-team league for elite 15-17 year-olds, earning home ice advantage against the sixth-place Hawks. Needing a win to clinch a series win and earn a semifinal date with the Cariboo Cougars next weekend in Prince George, the Hawks came out flat Sunday morning. They trailed 3-0 after 20 minutes, before trading goals with the home team in the second period.

evan diamontopoulos of the valley West hawks keeps the puck away from an Okanagan Rockets opponent during their BC hockey Major Midget League playoff series in Kelowna. The hawks lost in three games. Eric Callegari of Langley put the Hawks on the scoreboard three minutes into the session, but the Rockets struck for two goals in a
60-second span to make it 5-1. Matt Bradley of Surrey set up Jakob Stukel of Cloverdale midway through the frame, then
scored himself two minutes later to cut the difference to 5-3, both goals coming while Valley West was on the powerplay. Okanagan
scored late in the second period and added two more in the third. The Rockets also got off to a fast start in game one Friday night, taking a 3-0 lead before the game was 10 minutes old. Stukel got one back for Valley West, but a late Okanagan goal upped the difference to 4-1 at the first intermission. Spencer Unger of Surrey scored the second Hawks goal late in the second period, a tally which made the score 5-2 for the Rockets. It was 6-2 in the third period before Hawks struck for two more goals to end the game. Stukel notched his second, and White Rock’s Matthew Cox found the net with 93 seconds to play. Bradley finished the game with three assists, with Surrey’s Rhett Wilcox earning a pair of helpers. Valley West trailed again after one period in Saturday’s mustwin game, but shut out the Rockets the rest of the way. With the Hawks down 1-0, Unger scored a tying goal midway through the second period. Surrey’s Cole Plotnikoff got the winner with two minutes left in the period, and Stukel added an insurance goal before the second intermission. Jake Fletcher of Surrey closed out the scoring in the third period.
Eagles face a familiar foe in playoffs BCHL’s Coastal Conference semifinal series starts Friday in Surrey
by Nick Greenizan
I
n advance of their team’s first-round playoff series with the Langley Rivermen, the Surrey Eagles’ coaching staff has spent the week pouring over video, strategizing and looking for even the smallest of advantages for their team. And they’ve done it knowing full well that the whole plan might be tossed out the window at a moment’s notice once the BC Hockey League (BCHL) best-of-five showdown begins Friday at the South Surrey Arena. “You plan for about the first 10 minutes of the first period of the first game, and after that, it’s just about adjustments,” said head coach Matt Erhart. “You can plan and plan all you want, but then who knows? Something happens and you change on the fly.” While change is inevitable over the course of the series, one constant Erhart has stressed to his troops this week is the importance of sticking to what they do best – play good defence in front of the BCHL’s top netminder, Michael Santaguida, and score
opportunistic goals when the chances arise. Erhart said. “We aren’t going to change the way we Both teams have been red-hot since play too much depending on who Christmas, with the Rivermen – we’re playing. Too often we did losses to Surrey aside – pulling that earlier in the season – we themselves out of the bottom of were trying too hard to counteract the Mainland Division and into a what other teams were doing,” playoff spot, and the Eagles rolling Erhart said. “But since Christmas, to the best record not only in the we’ve focused on our own game, conference, but the entire BCHL. and it’s that’s not good enough to In 26 games since the Christmas win, then I guess we’re not good break, the Eagles have lost just enough. But we think we have a three games in regulation time. good chance to win every game They’ve won 18 of those games, hannoun we play when we stick to our tied two others and lost three in style.” overtime. It’s certainly been good enough against While Langley’s record is not quite that the Rivermen this season. In eight head-to- gaudy over the last few months, they still head matchups during the regular season, boast the league’s top point-getter in Mario the Eagles won seven – including a 10-2 Puskarich, who had 41 goals and 89 points drubbing in January. in 55 games this season. He also helped key “If we were playing an Island team in the a Langley power play that ranked seventh first round, (making a game plan) would in the BCHL during the regular season. be different because we’d only have played “You have to be aware of (Puskarich),” them a couple times, but playing a team said Erhart, whose team ranked fourth eight times – and three or four times since overall in penalty-killing during the regular Christmas – most guys on both sides have season. a pretty good idea about what to expect,” “He’s a very dangerous player. He gets Section c 0-ordinator:(PHone 604-575-5335)
a lot of his points on the power play, so our penalty killing is going to be pretty important. “We can’t give them free opportunities by taking undisciplined penalties.” Surrey is not without offensive talent, either, led by forwards Brady Shaw and Adam Tambellini, who finished fifth and 11th, respectively, in the BCHL scoring race. Since Tambellini arrived from the Vernon Vipers at the trade deadline, Erhart has played him and Shaw on the same line, but lately has split them up in an effort to spread offence throughout the lineup and create matchup problems for the Rivermen coaching staff, which will have to decide which of the two lines their top defence pair will play against. Erhart also expects Demico Hannoun and captain Brett Mulcahy – among others – back in the lineup. The only two players who won’t suit up are goaltender Glenn Ferguson and defenceman Troy Paterson, both of whom have been out for months. See ERHART / Page 34

Gold leads to Winnipeg Principe off to Westerns
by Rick Kupchuk Spencer principe of
the Surrey Gymnastic Society (SGS) will be heading to Winnipeg in May. The 13-year-old won the all around gold medal at the Christy Fraser Memorial Invitational meet last weekend in Langley, and has qualified for the Western Canadian Championships in the Level 4 category for gymnasts 13-and-over. Principe won a gold medal on vault, a silver on pommel horse and high bar, and a bronze on parallel bars. SGS teammate Kevin Hignell, 15, won a bronze medal on vault and was fifth on both rings and high bar. In the Level 4 under13 group, Treyson Cerrato was fourth all around after winning gold on the vault and a bronze on high bar. Aiden Wilson, 15, won the silver medal on vault in the Boys’ National Youth category. Sarah Tobin, 11, qualified for next month’s B.C. Championships in
Prince George by placing fifth all around in the Level 2 Tyro group. Tobin won gold on the beam, and will be part of the Fraser Valley zone in Prince George. Two other female gymnasts just missed qualifying for the zone team which will compete at the provincial meet, but may still get an invite to compete at the B.C. Championships as independents (non-team member). Alexa Cannon placed seventh all around, two positions behind Tobin. The 11-year-old won a bronze medal on vault. Teammate Eva Woodward won a bronze medal on bars. Cannon and Samantha Lal, 13, will wait for a decision from Gymnastics BC to see if they will compete at provincials. Lal was seventh all around in the Level 2 Novice group, with a gold medal on vault and a silver on floor. In Girls’ Level 5 Open qualification for Westerns, 19-year-old Alanna Jones won a gold medal on beam.

Erhart: Expects hard, smart hockey From page 32
Spring Break Skate March 21 – 24
“We’re going to have basically a full complement of players for the first time in two months,” Erhart said. “We haven’t had that in quite awhile.” Erhart knows betters than to count on a full roster for the entire post-season – in the last three weeks, the team has played with as
many as seven regulars out of the lineup – but regardless of how his lineup is configured, he expects “smart, hard hockey” out of his squad. And considering their opponent is a division rival from just a few minutes down the road, he doesn’t expect motivation to be much of an issue for either team. “I’ve yet to be involved in a nonintense playoff series,” he laughed.

Ancient land, modern memoir Cloverdale author publishes book about 1980s trip to Yemen
by Jennifer Lang
P
eter Twele never meant to travel, much less spend 11 years in the Middle East and one day write about his early adventures. But he’s learned that opportunity can present itself in the most unexpected places. Twele was barely out of high school, in his early 20s, when a friend said he was planning a trip to Europe. “I had no desire to travel, but I decided to join him,” says Twele, recalling how the pair backpacked across the continent, and eventually landed in Israel, where the once-reluctant tourist found himself living on a kibbutz, a type of communal farming settlement, for five months. The immersion experience changed him, igniting a keen interest in the Middle East, driving him to study linguistics when he got back home. It’s an area of study that came naturally to Twele, whose first language is German. He was working on his masters degree at the University of Texas in 1984 when another unexpected offer came his way, taking him far from home and back to the Middle East: a research position in Jordan. He leaped at the chance because it meant he could learn Arabic, which he picked up while living among the nomadic Bedouin. Nearly three decades later, now a Cloverdale father of three, Twele recently released a self-published travel memoir called Rubbing Shoulders in Yemen. The book explores his time conducting research in what was then North Yemen, a country on the southwestern part of the Arabian peninsula, to villages that weren’t under government control and few outsiders had seen. Well beyond the typical touristic frontier, it was a region not covered in guidebooks, a land of dangerous roads, remote villages, and men carrying rifles. In those days, it wasn’t possible to travel outside of the capital city without a permit. Twele was issued an official document that gave him open access to the whole country, and he took full advantage, even if it meant getting into some sticky spots. Peter Twele While he’s since returned to Yemen many times, in writing the book he focused on four month he spent there in 1987, conducting sociolinguistic research sponsored by various institutions. He’d arrive in villages unannounced. Yet, he was always welcomed and treated with respect. “I went to a couple of villages where they had never seen anybody in pants before. I was just this guy from Mars showing up. It was more fascinating for them than it was for me.” Looking back, he marvels at the risks and is still amazed to have found such hospitality in far-flung locales and from the most outwardly hostile-seeming of hosts – gun wielding rebels. Twele, who’s taught at Trinity Western University and at the University of Texas in Arlington, penned the book at the urging of his children, who had heard a lot of his stories but wanted more. He suspects his eldest daughter hasn’t been able to finish reading the book because it’s too upsetting. “We were in some pretty dangerous situations. There are things that she didn’t know.” He found reliving those memories after 30 years difficult work, too, replaying
An image from the cover of Peter Twele’s new book, Rubbing Shoulders in Yemen. instances where his life had been in jeopardy. “It scared me. I was sort of sweating at times. It was potentially quite dangerous.” Twele’s initial research in Yemen involved trying to pinpoint a problem he believed existed in Arabic comprehension, especially in educational settings where Yemeni students exposed for the first time in a classroom to classical Arabic – the form used in formal communications and scripture – might have difficulty understanding it as spoken by an Egyptian teacher. It was common in Yemen, he says, to import teachers from neighbouring countries. The determined young researcher went from town to town, playing clips to Yemenis of spoken classical and Palestinian Arabic, and having them follow along with an Egyptian Arabic text. “They were very interested, and were very open,” he recalls. “The one thing that always helps is that Arabs love to speak about their language. Whatever dialect they speak, they love it and they appreciated that I, an outsider, was interested.” He faithfully kept a journal, later typing his handwritten notes onto a computer, and, more recently shaping the stories into the book. Twele says he’s spent the intervening years building bridges of understanding between the Middle East and the West. What’s stayed with him is the warmth and generosity of the people he encountered, who welcomed him into their villages and kept him safe. He remains grateful. “Part of my writing now is also for people to realize, there are a lot of radicals, but most people want to get on with life, just like here,” he says. “We’re no different in some ways. They want a job and have a family and want to provide for them. It’s just more complicated.” The intervening years have been eventful in Yemen: civil war, unification, the rise of Al Quaeda, mass protests and the Arab Spring. “It’s chaos. It’s a mess,” he says regretfully, because he’d love to go back. He’s currently working on Iraq on their Doorstep, a new book relating his and his wife, Hazel’s, experiences before, during and after the Gulf war in the early 1990s. Rubbing Shoulders in Yemen is available at Amazon.com in a paperback and Kindle version

Introducing Surrey’s Angie Bunnell, Kin’s Green Fighter…
Week 2
of the 13-Week Challenge and we find Angie positive and fully engaged in her mission!
Angie is working on leading a healthier life and wants to continue this with the Kin’s Green Fighters challenge. I’m approximately 2 weeks into this challenge as a Kin’s Greenfighter with Kin’s Farm Market. I’ve learned that my keyword on this challenge is “plan & prep”. I can tell you that having this challenge hanging around my mind has, in a very positive way, helped up the motivation and drive to improve on my health and fitness. I’ve been making sure that I do some form of exercise for a minimum of 30 mins every day. Last week I was able to get in 4 one hour hot yoga sessions, 2 45 min intense HIIT Training sessions and 2 walks over 5K. Scheduling in exercise, just as if it were a Dr. appointment or such, and pre-planning my week of exercise has ensured that I can fit it all in. Even on the busiest day I’m making sure to take some “me” time. Certain days it may just be a 40 min walk around the hockey rink neighbourhood while one of the older kids is at the rink getting ready to play, either way – I’m finding ways to make exercise happen! I’m feeling stronger and feeling that this new “habit” is going to stick. I love the energized feeling I get from working out! Eating healthy has also been a big focus. Planning ahead for the week to come has really helped with making sure I’m not just going through a drive through, grabbing “ whatever”, or making a frozen pizza. When I plan ahead I alleviate the stress of “what’s for dinner?!” (the biggest question of the day in our house!) and when I have a plan and my foods are prepped, it really doesn’t take much time at all to make a healthy meal. This past weekend we had our first “in store” challenge. Jun and Jane at the Guildford Kin’s Market were fantastic, they had the table set up with balloons, colouring books for the kids along with information packages.

“Where Skin is At Its Best”
200 ST.
Bruce Horak survived cancer as a baby, and is now one of Canada’s only legally blind professional actors. At open-mic nights around Toronto he began to introduce himself as “Cancer,” and found that audiences had a very strong and surprisingly positive reaction to the character. That idea has evolved into the 80-minute show This is Cancer, with Horak personifying the dreaded disease as a gruesomely charming lounge singer in a gold lamé suit. Initially boasting that he is the world’s most popular figure, he then goes on his own journey of denial, anger, bargaining and acceptance when he discovers that the whole world hates him. Sound like a downer? Horak’s brilliance is in bringing some humour to a disease that too many of us will face. This is Cancer contains adult material and situations. Horak understands all too well that his show brings up various reactions and questions from audience members, so for his current tour he has encouraged the host theatres to add an informal question and answer session. At Surrey Arts Centre’s presentation of This is Cancer on March 15 at 8 p.m., Horak and special guests, Dr. Judy Tang of InspireHealth and registered dietician Desiree Nielsen, will field audience questions after the show. Tickets are $30/33, available at tickets. surrey.ca or by phoning 604-501-5566. The arts centre is located at 13750 88 Ave.

Police crash award ceremony The Surrey rCMP’S Criminal Collision Investigation Team
(CCIT) was honoured by the BC Association of Chiefs of Police (BCACP) Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) for their excellence in the area of Collision or Crash Investigation. “This specialized traffic unit has been recognized and greatly appreciated by not only the residents of their community, but by the larger police community in British Columbia,” said Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham, chair of the Traffic Safety Committee. “Their investigative work culminating in criminal charges is considered a best practice within law enforcement.” “I am very proud of these officers for their tireless work ethic and diligence in helping bring justice to those families who have lost loved ones in tragic circumstances,” said Surrey RCMP Inspector Lee Chanin. “Our investigators continue to set the standard for traffic collision investigations and are seen as some of the best in the province.” The Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) was formed in 2010 to balance routine traffic enforcement with the demands of investigating complex motor vehicle incidents that result in fatalities or serious injuries. In the first two years of its existence, the team investigated more than 131 collisions.

wantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) fashion student, Melissa Tsui, placed third in this year’s finale for the Télio Design Competition that took place at Montreal Fashion Week last month. From more than 500 applicants across Canada, Tsui was one of twenty-five talented students whose designs were chosen for the runway. Tsui was awarded a $2,500 scholarship and was the only winner from western Canada. “Winning this award validates my decision to return to school,” said Tsui. “I was at a point in my career where I needed to either upgrade my skills or change professions. I decided to upgrade my skills and being recognized in this way is extremely validating.” Tsui is in her third year of KPU’s bachelor of designfashion and technology program and will graduate in spring 2014. “The faculty and student body are thrilled to hear Melissa Tsui took home one of the top three prizes from the recent Télio Canada’s Breakthrough Designer competition,” said Michael Pope, fashion design instructor, KPU. “Melissa’s vision, technical skill and persistence of excellent craft were coupled with hours and hours of extremely detailed work to achieve this accolade. Congratulations Melissa – we are all very proud of you.” For the eighth consecutive year, Télio, North America’s most popular export/import and distribution companies presented its fashion event, Canada’s Breakthrough Designers. This year’s theme, OVEREXPOSED, demonstrated the students’ ability to use pastel and light colours, all while proving these colours can transition from winter to spring.
