A spike in fentanyl drug overdose deaths in both Vancouver and the Fraser Health region has prompted a warning from police and public health officials. Police say the synthetic narcotic is increasingly being sold to drug users in B.C., either on its own or often laced with other drugs – even marijuana. There were 29 overdose deaths tied to fentanyl – which is a highly toxic opioid painkiller – in Vancouver in 2014, followed by 18 in Langley and 15 in Surrey, according to Deputy Chief Coroner Vince Stancato of the B.C. Coroners Service. He said fentanyl deaths also occurred last year in Maple Ridge, Nanaimo, Prince George and Fort St. John. Many victims are described as recreational users who snorted, smoked or took pills they thought were another drug – such as cocaine, heroin or oxycodone – without realizing it contained fentanyl, which officials say is 50 to 100 times more toxic and can kill in small doses. Fentanyl was present in just five per cent of drug overdose deaths in 2012, but that soared to 25 per cent of the 336 overdose deaths in B.C. last year, according to the coroners’ service. Most victims were not injection drug users. Casual party drug users who take pills or snort or smoke drugs are considered most at risk, rather than the injection drug users who are more often associated with overdoses. “It’s very concerning,” said Dr. Marcus Lem, a medical health officer for Fraser Health. “These are folks that often may not appear to anybody else to have an issue.” Lem said many overdoses happen in private homes and the number of deaths in communities like Langley and Maple Ridge show the problem is not just limited to ▶ “Everybody... urban areas where drug use is most visible. seems to think “Everybody in the public seems to think the only people using drugs are in the Downtown the only people Eastside.

Man charged in 3 violent sex assaults ▼ KEVIN SHARP ACCUSED OF ATTACKING WOMEN IN SURREY AND LANGLEY MONIQUE TAMMINGA
A 22-year-old man is in jail facing multiple charges in connection to three violent sexual assaults which took place in the past seven months in Langley and Surrey.
Kevin Adelmo Sharp has been charged with break and enter, two counts of sexual assault with a weapon, theft of a motor vehicle and assault causing bodily harm. Police began investigating last October, after two similar attacks on sex trade workers took place within five days of each other. That led police to look into a prior sexual assault, which took place in May, 2014. Police say on Oct. 3, 2014 at around 11:30 p.m., a Langley RCMP officer was flagged down by a woman in the 20100
block of 56 Avenue. The woman told the officer she had been sexually assaulted. She said she had been picked up by a male, alleged to be Sharp, and taken to a park near 198 Street and 53 Avenue, where they agreed to have sex in exchange for money. When they arrived at the park, the woman asked the man for the cash and he allegedly said he would pay later. She insisted he pay immediately, which he refused. He then sexually assaulted her, pushed her out of his car and fled, nearly
striking her with his vehicle, police allege. The second allegation took place five days later in Surrey, where Sharp is accused of assaulting and robbing a sex trade worker on Oct. 7. The circumstances were very similar, said police, in that the woman was also physically assaulted and robbed before the suspect fled. The two October cases caused police to take a closer look at an incident on May 1, 2014 in the 20500 block of 24 Avenue.

▼ COALITION ESTIMATES THERE ARE UP TO 34,000 ROAMING FELINES IN THE CITY BOAZ JOSEPH
The number of free-roaming felines is soaring in Surrey, say local animal welfare activists. The Surrey Community Cat Coalition (SCCC), an alliance of seven groups concerned with outdoor cat overpopulation, estimates there are up to 34,000 cats on Surrey’s streets. And they shouldn’t be just defined as feral, says SCCC Manager Lubna Ekramoddoullah. They’re also abandoned tame cats and un-fixed domestic cats that are given free rein to roam and breed. The cycle of pregnancy leads to more cats and more suffering in the outdoors, says Ekramoddoullah. “Their lives are pretty grim.” The SCCC got together last year when the organizations pooled their resources to tackle the problem and work on solutions that have proven successful over the last six years in Vancouver and Burnaby. The efforts of the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) to trap and neuter/spay cats – then either adopt them or release them where they were found – is said to have reduced the population of roaming cats in Vancouver and Burnaby to around 200 each. But Surrey’s human population is growing, making it harder for VOKRA in Surrey to keep up. VOKRA has 44 volunteers in Surrey, but only two trappers, who manage to capture about 400 cats per year. VOKRA has no regular spay/neuter program ▶ “If we see in Surrey due to lack of funds. an animal in There are also fewer pet-friendly buildings and more low-income people who feel they distress, we have no option but to abandon their cats or want to help.” forgo spaying or neutering.

establish a recovery centre so more cats can be spayed or neutered after trapping. “If we had that space, we could tackle the problem faster,” says Ekramoddoullah. Kim Marosevich, bylaws manager at the City of Surrey and co-chair of the SCCC, says discussions are ongoing about strategies, which include increasing awareness of the problem and the importance of spaying/ neutering, improving the welfare of cats and increasing cat-friendly housing. “It’s a complicated problem,” she says. She adds cats present a
challenge in that people don’t regard them the same way they do dogs. At local shelters, 78 per cent of lost dogs are returned to their original owners, but that only happens to 12 per cent of cats. The SCCC says people can help by spaying or neutering their cat or kitten, adopting or fostering a cat, donating money or supplies or volunteering their time. “Humanity is based on empathy,” says Ekramoddoullah. “If we see an animal in distress, we want to help.” For more information, visit http://surreycats. wix.com/coalition
▼ RECREATIONAL DRUG USERS ARE PARTICULARLY AT RISK, POLICE SAY from page 1
Particularly at risk, they said, are recreational drug users, such as a rave attendee who decides to try a pill she’s given but has no tolerance for a drug as potent as fentanyl. “We’re finding fentanyl is cut into just about any other drug you can buy on the street,” said Sandra Glendinning of the Vancouver Police Department. “Heroin, marijuana, cocaine, oxycodone.” She said no deaths have been linked to fentanyl-laced marijuana but it is being sold in B.C. and putting people who think they’re just using pot at higher risk. Meanwhile, police have charged 10 suspects and seized a huge amount of fentanyl. The coordinated raids on Feb. 17 in Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver and Richmond yielded 29,000 fentanyl pills, 650,000 yet-to-be-identified pills suspected to contain either fentanyl or Alprazolam, a pill press, seven vehicles, $215,000 in cash, four guns, 16 kilograms of crack or powdered cocaine and varying amounts of other drugs, including marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin. The joint Vancouver Police-RCMP operation dubbed Project Tainted began last October as alarm grew about unprecedented numbers of overdose deaths from drugs laced with fentanyl. Vancouver Police Supt. Mike Porteous called the takedowns a “significant blow” to the local distributors of the deadly drug. Police believe fentanyl came here from Asia in powdered form before being cut with other powder and pressed into pills in Metro Vancouver and then distributed throughout the Lower Mainland and elsewhere in B.C. Several agencies have joined forces to launch an information website on the risks of fentanyl at www. knowyoursource.ca.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Thursday M arch 5 2015
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Have you been the victim of mail box theft? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com
Last week we asked: Do you think there should be campaign spending limits for municipal elections? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 91% No 8%
Mail theft on the rise Mail theft is becoming a bigger problem in Surrey and other South Fraser communities. Community mail boxes are being broken into, or in some cases, removed entirely. People whose boxes are damaged or destroyed then have to go to mail distribution centres to pick up their mail. Sometimes this lasts for weeks. In addition to ignoring what is clearly a growing problem, Canada Post and the federal government want to make it worse. The federal government plans to eliminate all home delivery of mail over the next few years, ensuring that everyone will now have an equal opportunity to have their mail stolen. The newer community mailboxes were supposed to be more theft-resistant. That didn’t last long. Several weeks ago, a family member’s community mailbox, one of three placed together on a rural street, was taken right off its stand. Last week, Surrey RCMP arrested a young woman near a convenience store in South Surrey. Inside her vehicle was 150 pieces of mail, numerous cellphones and “evidence of other criminal activities relating to credit cards and bank cards,” according to Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. Police suggested that the contents of her vehicle indicate an entire community mailbox was
emptied – either at the scene, or as a result of the entire box being stolen. Mail was scattered down my own street last weekend. Some of it was notices from Canada Post about parcels being held at the nearest community post office and dated the previous day. The mail was returned to those whom it was intended for, but on Monday police were talking to a man who has been wandering up and down the street virtually every day last week. He may be innocent, but there is no shortage of people cruising by trying to clean out mailboxes. What are the solutions? Canada Post is hopeless. While individual employees are helpful enough, they are restricted by poor communication with customers and blind obedience to rules cast in stone in Ottawa. It is obvious that the mail theft issue is more significant here than in other parts of Canada, but you’d never know it if you paid attention to Canada Post’s messaging. It seems focused on delivering parcels ordered over the Internet. Local governments could raise a fuss, as they did when community mail boxes were first introduced. But they seem to have given up trying to ensure residents get the mail service they pay for in their taxes.
While some bills and other mail can come by e-mail, the target of many thieves seems to be credit and debit cards, and other mail with valuable personal information. This allows thieves to steal identity and do a host of damage to innocent people. The various arms of the federal government are no more helpful. A friend is waiting right now for an important piece of mail from the citizenship office. Notices about citizenship tests and ceremonies are sent via regular mail and are frequently not delivered. Then the poor applicants have to go back to the bottom of the list. Registered mail doesn’t seem to have even entered the consciousness of these government departments whose mail is frequently life-altering for many. It seems that all people can do is be vigilant. Have a good idea what time the mail is delivered, and arrange to get it right away. If that isn’t possible, co-operate with a neighbour so that someone can pick it up quickly. Report any suspicious activity near community mail boxes as well. Otherwise, you may end up being the next in a long list of mail theft victims.

Immunization is a collective responsibility GUEST VIEW ▼ Andrew Holota
Vaccinate your child against serious, potentially deadly, preventable diseases – or not? Really? When we started our baby’s immunization program, the thought foremost in my mind was how thankful we can be that modern medicine has all but eradicated nasty infectious diseases like polio, diphtheria, chickenpox and measles. That we wouldn’t protect our child against these illnesses was an utter non-starter. We also had her vaccinated for meningitis, which was not covered under publicly funded medical coverage, but we paid the considerable fee to do so, and were glad to have the opportunity. Frankly, at the time I didn’t really think about the larger responsibility – that being the protection of other children who would be in contact with our child and could contract an illness from her for which she was not immunized.
Yet that is a key social question, one which rises again with measles outbreaks in Disneyland and Quebec, linked to unvaccinated adults and children. Meanwhile, health authorities state that more than 30 per cent of babies in the Fraser Health region are not getting vaccinated on schedule, many as the result of inadvertent parental non-compliance, such as forgetfulness or confusion over timing requirements. Other parents, however, withhold their kids from immunization due to ideological opposition or apprehension of side effects. I don’t accept the fear-mongering about some outdated medical study that ostensibly found a link between measles vaccination and autism. It’s been reviewed and debunked by the modern medical world. Common vaccines are just that – common. Billions of kids around the world have been successfully and safely
immunized against serious diseases like polio, which used to kill and cripple millions, but is expected to be wiped out around the globe with another few years of vaccination. And yes, I brush off conspiracy theories that major pharmaceutical companies control all the world’s scientists, researchers, doctors, centres for disease control, and international health organizations. I do not fear vaccines, just like I do not fear electromagnetic radiation from smart meters, and the effects of jet contrails. Nor do I accept an ideology that would dictate an objection to vaccination. Those who subscribe to such theories and beliefs are free to do so, and equally free to express their views – particularly

if they do so in a civil, reasonable fashion. The vaccination issue is unique, though, in that it has a “community” element. Aside from the primary responsibility to shield our children from harm, we all have a shared responsibility to respect and protect the health of each other’s kids, especially when it comes to preventable, infectious diseases. I accept that. Others apparently do not. Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick require children to be vaccinated before they can attend public school. In the context of the above, how long before others follow suit? Andrew Holota is the editor of The Abbotsford News, a sister paper to The Leader.

Share the pain of Port Mann costs ▼ IT’S BETTER TO CHARGE LESS FOR MORE SALES THAN CHARGE MORE FOR FEWER Re: “Port Mann Bridge deficit climbs,” The Leader, Feb. 24. If you leave an alternative free option for any project such as this, of course people are going to choose it. The fact that the people that control the Port Mann crossing still vehemently back the fact that only drivers crossing the bridge should pay for the entire project is ludicrous. When people can use a brand spanking new freeway from Langley to exit 50 before the Port Mann crossing for free and then sit in Pattullo Bridge traffic for half an hour to get back onto a freeway on the other side, why would they not take that option? Same goes for people on the other side from Coquitlam to North Vancouver. Why should only people crossing the Port Mann be saddled with the cost? Of course you’re going to lose money this way.
Charge per kilometre along the entire freeway corridor (say five cents a kilometre) for all vehicles instead of only those crossing and each driver then is charged $2.50 maximum each way (it’s 54 kms from Langley to North Van). Most will pay even less as they do not use the entire span. This will bring in the required funds they need to keep up with the bills because now all drivers are paying. They could even charge less (all day) for HOV lane drivers as a reward for decreasing traffic congestion. It’s better to charge less for more sales than to charge more for fewer. Expecting to have this entire project funded by a small group of users is unfair and destined to fail. Taxpayers and people who do not use the service provided should not be charged for its upkeep. The same goes for all such projects, from buses, to ferries, to other highways throughout the province. Roland van Kaauwen
▼ TRANSLINK SCRUTINY IS FAIR, BUT ADDED CONGESTION WON’T BE As a suburbanite who relies on transit, cycling and ferry service to get around, I pay close attention to proposals that impact public transportation. The upcoming transit plebiscite is one such proposal. Just like with BC Ferries, we’re hearing a lot of noise about the management structure, salaries and costs associated with running the system. Such scrutiny is both fair and necessary. I recall that when TransLink was audited by the provincial government and the independent TransLink commission, no smoking guns were discovered. Nor was the $250 million needed to expand the transit system. While a different management structure will help with
accountability, focusing on governance and executive compensation distracts us from the core question: Do we agree that new investment in public transportation is necessary? Agreement appears to exist among Metro Vancouver leaders. In fact, we hear the same acknowledgment from critics of the plebiscite – namely, that more investment is needed. South of the Fraser, the communities of Surrey, North Delta and Langley will all receive a connectivity “boost,” reflecting the population (and growth) that these areas accommodate. Areas shouldering less growth might have to adopt an integrated regional mindset – and accept, individually, that collective cost-sharing
▼ CLEAN UP THE ELECTION FUNDRAISING CAN OF WORMS I read with interest a recent article regarding a wine-and-dine fundraiser for the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Association. Is this the same association that donated $32,000 to the current mayor’s election campaign as reported last week? Isn’t it time the whole rotten can of
will pay dividends. Of course, this isn’t entirely new. We do it all the time with other essential services, from health care to security to education. I suppose it is the transparency that’s new – and, ultimately, quite healthy. With the proposed transit improvements, we will know exactly where and how the funds will be spent. As the plebiscite moves ahead, hopefully voters will re-focus on the common vulnerability that we all share: That growth without funded transit expansion will actually decrease connectivity and increase congestion. We can, and must, do better. Patrick Thompson, Delta
worms, otherwise described as “municipal election fundraising” in British Columbia, is cleaned up, such as happened at the federal level? And while we’re on the subject, how on Earth did the mayor’s team manage to spend $600,000 on salaries and wages for that campaign? Who received that windfall? Paul Griffin, Surrey
WHY LNG IN B.C.? A SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS
WE’VE GOT NATURAL GAS... an estimated
2,000 trillion
BRITISH COLUMBIA has far more natural gas than we use
NEW MARKETS FOR OUR NATURAL GAS... in Asia and elsewhere
cubic feet in Northeast B.C. We have enough to supply local needs and help meet global demand
China alone expects to use 17.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas a year by 2040 – three times more than in 2012
In fact, enough to supply LNG export operations and domestic needs for 150 years, so it makes sense to sell some of it
Natural gas has been produced safely in B.C. for more than 60 years. It is as much a part of our resource wealth as forestry and fishing. And like forestry and fishing, the natural gas sector provides thousands of stable, well-paid jobs for British Columbians who work for gas producers in the Northeast and for suppliers and service providers throughout the province. The industry also generates tax revenue to help pay for social services and infrastructure like salaries for nurses and teachers, and new roads, schools and hospitals. But unlike
forestry and fishing, which are now mature industries, natural gas is entering what the International Energy Agency has described as The Golden Age of Gas. Demand is rising rapidly and B.C. is ideally positioned to meet some of it. Exporting B.C.’s natural gas is nothing new; it was first transported via Vancouver to the U.S. in 1957 and the U.S. has remained our main market ever since. But with the U.S. producing more of its own gas it now makes sense to sell our surplus overseas where there’s a demand. The only difference is that the gas must be converted into a liquid so it can be shipped. That’s why B.C. is developing a new industry to produce LNG.
The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

Second man sentenced in Christmas Day robbery ▶ IAN LANGTHORNE PLEADED GUILTY TO HIS ROLE IN FATAL SHOOTING OF ALOK GUPTA SHEILA REYNOLDS
A man involved in a Christmas Day 2011 robbery that ended in the fatal shooting of a Surrey convenience store worker has been sentenced to fiveand-a-half more years in prison. Ian Clifford Langthorne, 30, had earlier pleaded guilty to going with his accomplice, William Whiteside, to Ken’s Groceries on Dec. 25, 2011 so they could rob the store to get money to buy drugs. While Langthorne
did not have a weapon, Whiteside had a sawed-off rifle which he pointed at 27-year-old store clerk Alok Gupta while Langthorne stole money from the cash register. Langthorne left the store, but as Whiteside was leaving, Gupta startled him and Whiteside pulled the trigger, hitting Gupta in the chest. The pair made off with between $45 and $65 which they spent on speed. Gupta made it to a nearby house, covered in
blood, but later died. In 2013, Whiteside pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 16 years prison. Last week in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Langthorne was sentenced to four-anda-half years for the fatal Gupta robbery. At the same hearing, Langthorne was a also sentenced to an additional four years jail for another violent robbery and carjacking just weeks later. In that incident, Langthorne had met with a man named Nathaniel Wall, who was selling shoes. He met Langthorne, who threatened to slit his

Victim: Alok Gupta throat and stole $30 from his wallet before shoving him into an SUV to take him to a bank machine. Wall managed to escape by jumping from the moving vehicle – hitting his face on the pavement and chipping his tooth – and running to a nearby house and calling 911. Langthorne was arrested in June 2013. He was given time-and-a-half credit for time he’s spent in prison since then, cutting three years, two months from his combined sentence. According to the sentencing report, Langthorne has a “long and disturbing” criminal record that began at age 12 and includes 68 convictions, many as a youth. He’s been in prison numerous times and has escaped twice. He was assessed in 2005 as being a high risk to reoffend and in 2009, had not addressed addiction issues. A psychologist said Langthorne had “entrenched antisocial attitudes and behaviours which are the consequence of extreme childhood neglect.” Records show he was put into foster care at age 12 and had more than 50 foster home placements – many of which he ran away from. Langthorne has written to the victims of his most recent offences and their families, expressing regret and empathy and taking responsibility for his actions. In addition to the prison term, he is banned for life from owning firearms.

Two stabbed in Surrey
SHEILA REYNOLDS
Two men were taken to hospital Wednesday morning after being stabbed in an apparent altercation. Surrey RCMP say they received several calls at about 12:30 a.m. March 4 reporting a man had been wounded and was bleeding in the 13300-block of King George Boulevard. When po-
lice arrived, two men said they’d been in a fight with a third, who fled. One of the men at the scene had a stab wound on his leg and paramedics noticed the other male had a wound on his side. Both were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

â–ź ACCUSED REMAINS IN CUSTODY from page 3
Mounties say a woman awoke in the middle of the night and opened her sliding glass door to let her cat in, when she was grabbed by her neck and forced into her bedroom.  She was assaulted and sexually assaulted before the suspect stole her personal items and fled. Langley RCMP did not issue an warning to the public. The victim went to hospital, where she consented to a sexual assault examination. In November, the Forensic Assessment Centre
linked DNA taken from the victim with Sharp, leading to charges against him. Sharp is currently in custody and is due next in Surrey Provincial Court on June 8. “These charges are a direct result of the advancements in police forensic evidence gathering and analysis, along with the ability to work seamlessly across municipal borders,� said Langley RCMP officer in charge Supt. Murray Power. “Connecting allegations such as these to one person is a constant policing concern and was often difficult to
do in years past. We are very pleased with the investigative result and will do all we can to support the victims as we move forward.� Sharp has a criminal record, but it does not involve attacks against women. In 2012, he spent 21 days in jail and was given two years probation for drug possession for the purpose of trafficking. Two weeks after the alleged attacks on the two prostitutes, Sharp fled from Langley RCMP in his car, driving dangerously. He was caught, sentenced to 30 days in jail and given a one year driving ban.

earch “distance bicycleâ€? on the website for “Officially Amazing Guinness World Recordsâ€?— http://www. guinnessworldrecords.com/ and you will retrieve over 800 results leading to the conclusion that in terms of riding a bike a certain distance in a certain time frame there are simply no more types of categories possible—simply no more heroic challenges. This also means lots of records to challenge, one of which Juan Francisco Guillermo, 47, a Chilean cyclist was well on his way to besting when he was killed on a highway near Korat, Thailand about 140 miles northeast of Bangkok on Saturday February 21st, 2015. Media reports say that “a speeding pickup truck driven by Tiwarat Ratchaipidet, aged 64, scraped [Mr. Guillermo’s] bicycle on the roadside.â€? Mr. Guillermo’s wife was on another bicycle with their two-year-old son and while she suffered a slight sprain in the accident, Mr. Guillermo was thrown from his bicycle and died at the scene. Published reports say the truck driver, who was unhurt, has been charged with “careless driving resulting in death and injury.â€? Having started in November 2010, Mr. Guillermo was attempting to set a Guinness record by cycling 250,000 km (155,350 miles) over five continents in five years, thus scheduled to end in November 2015. One report detailed his undertaking and the end result by noting that while he “overcame 795 flats, 328 tubes and 120,000 km, ‌[he] could not overcome a bad driver.â€?
Despite the lofty stature of many a Guinness record, the ‘fun factor’ endures. Record challengers are, after all, motivated self-starters with an eye on their own glorious place in the sun. In photographs, Mr. Guillermo, a T-shirted and helmeted young man with an open face is broadly smiling. Media reports of his death also refer to the crash in 2013 on a Thai highway east of Bangkok that killed a British couple—Peter Root and Mary Thompson, both 34—engaged in their round-the-world cycling odyssey chronicled on their website, http://www. twoonfourwheels.com/ and in engaging video blogs. Before arriving in Thailand, the British couple had cycled through Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and China. Reports say that Worapong Sangkhawat, the 25-year-old truck driver who hit them was seriously injured and told police he lost control as he reached down to pick up a cap from the vehicle’s floor. Although it may seem like another extravagance of the present time, long distance bicycle touring has a long history starting back in the early 19thth Century when bicycles at first were ‘hobby-horses’ pushed by the feet rather than pedaled. As bicycle technology advanced, so did the journeys undertaken. In April 1884, for example, Thomas Stevens, a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, equipped, in addition to his bicyclist clothing, with only a money belt, a revolver, two spare shirts and a rain cape, set off around the world riding a 50-inch (wheel diameter) Columbia bicycle. The articles he wrote about his two year journey became a two-volume 1,021page book. In those days the reliability of the machine and the rigors of country life were the challenges. Today, even in rural areas, sharing the road with cars and trucks is the riskiest part of the endeavour. ‌by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

God’s Little Acre farm on the defensive ▶ OWNER JAS SINGH ‘SNOWBALLED’ BY CRITICISM FROM FOOD BANKS

this week defending the operation against claims it lacks accountability and transparency. Jas Singh of God’s Little Acre said he was “snowballed” by criticisms outlined in an open letter penned by Food Banks BC Executive Director Laura Lansink and made public last week. The letter cites concerns with food quality, requests for “seed money” that yielded produce “worth less than the amount invested,” volunteers being led to believe that crops they assisted with would benefit their local food bank and that God’s Little Acre is not a registered charity. “We welcome any and all organizations who seek to work alongside us to fulfill our vision, including the principal of God’s Little Acre,” writes Lansink. “At the same time, we must

always ensure that all actions taken and all monies expended are done so with integrity and complete transparency.” Singh – describing God’s Little Acre, at 16582 40 Ave., as the province’s “poorest farm” – questioned the timing of the criticism, which comes nearly two years after Surrey Food Bank (SFB) officials advised him they will no longer accept his produce. Up until that time, the farm was dedicated to SFB, he said. He said he’s never been given a definitive answer as to why the decision was made, but believes publicity of it now is linked to a crowdfunding campaign he launched last month to raise $50,000 for farm equipment and to support a goal of growing 150,000 pounds of food for charity this year. “For the first time,
Jas Singh we started asking people for money for the farm,” he said. “The public’s response was absolutely huge.” As of Wednesday morning, nearly 600 people had donated a total of $31,650 to the cause. Tim Baillie, president of the Surrey Food Bank Society, said Wednesday that the timing was simply a result of media inquiries. “For two years, we’ve been silent on this,”
he said. “And that’s been very deliberate. We don’t like slinging mud.” Baillie said the society gave Singh two years to get himself established, then “asked for accountability on our participation and made the judgment it was no longer to our benefit.” Jaye Murray, manager of Sources White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank, said she believes the open letter was an ethical move and that she was not surprised by its content. She said the food bank has never received produce directly from God’s Little Acre, despite three years ago arranging twice to have a volunteer pick some up. Both times, the volunteer came back empty-handed, so a decision was made to not invest any more time into it, she said. “A couple of times it

didn’t work out and that was it,” Murray said. She said she has been frustrated by the number of times volunteers have told her they helped out at the farm with the understanding that food harvested would benefit the local food bank, when that hasn’t been the case. “What’s been annoying is hearing people are going there, expecting it’s coming here and it’s not, and then you don’t know what to say to people,” she said. One of those volunteers said she felt betrayed after seeing produce from the farm for sale at a local store, and thinks an audit is needed. Singh disputed the allegation he misled people. He said that after the tie was severed in 2013, “nobody ever was told that was going to the Surrey Food Bank. That never happened.” And, he said, he has never claimed to be a registered charity. He estimated 10 of the farm’s 70 acres are used to grow food that is sold to help pay expenses, and the balance is dedicated to people who need it. “We’re a business and our business is charity,” he said. He noted changes to better organize the operation were underway “well before this thing broke.” Those changes, however, do not include detailed tracking of who benefits from donated produce. “You give things to people and lift their spirits, you don’t humiliate them,” he said. “That’s the system we have.” Describing Lansink’s letter as “a false document, full of stuff that I’ve already countered,” Singh said he has been flooded with support in its wake. Volunteers have organized a rally for 11 a.m. this Saturday. Voluneer Steve Genik said volunteers were offended by the suggestion they were being tricked into harvesting produce that was later sold for profit. Singh said he will continue to offer produce to food banks, and plans to send a representative to speak with SFB officials next week. “The offer’s on the table, publicly,” he said.

tighten licensing regulations for limousine operators. Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced an overhaul of limousine licensing that will require each limousine or bus with perimeter seating to go through its own inspection and hold a licence. This replaces a “general authorization” limousine licence that allowed
party bus operators to work anywhere in B.C. and add vehicles to their fleet at any time. Stone said strict licensing and display of a special plate will allow police to know where party buses are operating so they can be checked. The changes are to take effect by May, before high school graduation events that are a

mainstay of the party bus business. Danielle Raymond and her mother Julie attended the announcement, calling it part of the reforms they have sought since Danielle’s sister Shannon died in July 2008 after drinking and then boarding a party bus where she took the street drug ecstasy. Shannon’s death was the first in a series of tragedies with party buses, which have expanded to 4,000 vehicles in B.C. Danielle said her own research showed companies advertising open bars on board. “Basically their whole business operates around facilitating the minors who use them to get hammered, for lack of a better term,” she said. In February 2013, 16-year-old Ernest Azoadam died on a party bus in Surrey.
In November of that year, a 17-year-old girl from Abbotsford was dumped at a truck stop and assaulted after a trip on a party bus. NDP transportation critic George Heyman echoed the Raymonds’ suggestion to consider requiring chaperones on party buses to make sure under-age drinking or drug use don’t occur. That’s part of pending legislation in Washington state, where party buses are allowed to serve alcohol to those old enough to drink. Heyman said the government should also require safe drop-off locations for the buses, which now drop off passengers at bars and then pick them up later to go to another bar. “One of the roles of the chaperones would be to ensure that no drinking takes place on party buses, period,” he said.

▶ POLICE BRIEFS
Wanted man arrested KEVIN DIAKIW
Mounties have arrested a wanted man less than a week after making a public appeal. Surrey RCMP arrested Erin Norman, 21, in Guildford on Saturday night (Feb. 28). Norman was wanted on four outstanding warrants, including two breaches of recognizance and for possession of stolen property and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent. All four warrants stem from 2014 investigations. Mounties believed he represented a threat to the safety of the public and said he was considered armed and dangerous. He is due in Surrey Provincial Court on March 18.
RCMP seek hit-and-run driver Surrey Mounties are looking for a man who drove a stolen truck into three other cars on the weekend, then took off on foot. On Sunday (March 1), at 12:15 a.m. a black 2005 Ford F350 pickup was heading north on 120 Street near 98 Avenue when the driver lost
control while trying to pass a vehicle on the left. The truck hit the vehicle, then crossed over the median, striking a van and another truck that were heading south on Scott Road. The man driving the Ford F350 then fled from his vehicle. An extensive search for the driver was unsuccessful. The other three vehicles that were struck by the truck – a north bound Nissan Altima, a southbound Dodge Caravan, and a southbound Toyota Tacoma pickup – were all extensively damaged. The lone occupant in the Toyota pickup, the three occupants in the Dodge Caravan, and the three occupants of the Nissan Altima suffered minor injuries and did not require hospitalization. Excessive speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the collision. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or the driver of the pickup truck fleeing from the scene of the collision is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Two hurt in rollover
BIGGER BRIGHT & ER to SERVE YOU BETTER !
Two women in their 20s were taken to hospital with minor injuries after a dramatic vehicle rollover in Surrey this week. On Monday at about 7:30 p.m., Mounties were called to a single-car accident at Colebrook Road, beneath the King George Boulevard overpass. A grey Hyundai had been traveling on Colebrook Road when it failed to negotiate a left hand turn and went off the outside of the curve. It rolled, trapping the passenger in the vehicle. The driver was able to get out. Surrey Fire Department members were eventually able to free the passenger. Both Surrey residents were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Alcohol and speed have not been ruled out as contributing factors in the accident, which is still under investigation. Surrey Mounties are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Cache of stolen mail found in South Surrey ▶ DELTA WOMAN FACING CHARGES TRACY HOLMES
A Delta woman is facing four charges after police found mail, bank and credit cards and meth in a car parked in South Surrey last week.
Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the discovery was made just before midnight Feb. 25, after a convenience-store employee alerted police to a suspicious vehicle that was parked outside the store in the 13900-block of 16
Avenue. Unable to see inside due to tinted windows, the responding officer knocked on the Honda’s driver-side window, then opened the door. Inside was a woman, more than 150 pieces of mail, several cellphones and “evi-

those affected, but put them at risk of identity theft, Paquet said. Police are working with Canada Post security officials on strategies to curb the problem. Paquet described the quantity of mail found as “significant.” “The contents of an entire mailbox would probably yield some-
thing like that,” he said. Details from the arrest were shared with Canada Post investigators, and police will be working to reunite the recovered mail with its rightful owners. But, “don’t call us, we’ll call you,” he said. “We will contact and get in touch with owners of items that we

A 32-year-old man has been charged with nine criminal offences in connection with a wild two-hour police pursuit that saw a stolen pick-up truck driving the wrong way against rush hour traffic on Fraser Highway in Langley and Surrey. Robert Anthony
Pickford appeared in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court Feb. 19, the day after the driver of an red Ford F150 was dragged out of the truck by police once the chase ended on the Golden Ears Bridge. By then, three of the tires on the truck had been blown out by spike belts deployed by police. The driver had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. The charges against Pickford include multiple counts of theft, breaking and entering and possessing tools for breaking and en-
tering. Pickford’s next court appearance is set for early March. Court records show Pickford has several prior convictions for vehicle theft and dangerous driving, including a 2005 case where the he was sentenced to two-and-a-half years for dangerous driving, stealing a vehicle and operating a vehicle “in order to evade a peace officer.” At the time, Provincial Court Judge Shehni Dossa described how Pickford “went through a lot of red lights onto oncoming traffic”

during an early morning police pursuit that ended when Pickford hit a light standard. “ … you are fortunate there was so little traffic on the road and that nobody was hurt,” Dossa told Pickford. “You have a long record for someone so young,” Dossa added. At the time, Pickford was on parole from a 2003 conviction for dangerous driving, possession of a stolen auto and drug possession. The Wednesday chase started around 2 p.m. when Ridge Meadows RCMP officers tried to stop a pick-up truck. The driver initially pulled over, then sped away towards Coquitlam on Lougheed Highway. As the truck proceeded through the Lower Mainland into Surrey and Langley, the RCMP Air One helicopter was called in. Eyewitnesses told Black Press they saw the Ford speeding on the wrong side of the road along the Fraser Highway through Langley for several blocks, followed by several police vehicles. At least one civilian vehicle had to drive up on the sidewalk to avoid a collision. The chase ended around 4 p.m. on the Golden Ears Bridge after Ridge Meadows RCMP closed the bridge, and police were able to box the pickup in. The beat-up truck came to a stop facing backwards, surrounded by Emergency Response Team vehicles. Northbound traffic across the bridge was blocked off for about an hour, causing heavy congestion and substantial delays. - with files from Monique Tamminga

Gas prices up again ▶ ANALYST CITES REFINERY SHUTDOWNS, TIGHTENING SUPPLY JEFF NAGEL
Gasoline prices in Metro Vancouver have soared 30 per cent since bottoming out at around $1 per litre in mid-January. And a petroleum industry analyst says there are multiple factors motorists can blame for the sudden pain they’re now feeling at the pump. Refineries across North America have been shut down due to cold weather, a strike and even an explosion, said Jason Parent, vice-president of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates. “A fair amount of refining capacity came offline and it really did tighten up supply,” he said. That’s been amplified by scheduled shutdowns for maintenance and something else that happens like clockwork as spring looms – more vehicles
take to the road as winter recedes, gas supplies shrink further and pump prices rise. “It’s not just you guys, it’s happening across Canada,” said Parent, adding the wholesale price gas stations pay has shot up sharply in recent weeks. Drivers struggle to understand how gas

prices could be so high again when the price of crude oil is still way down. The average Metro Vancouver price for regular gas of $1.31 this week is back to approximately the same level it was in early October. Back then, crude oil was above $85 a barrel compared to about $50 now after
a slight rebound from its January lows. Parent said the divergence of the two commodities underscores the fact that the crude oil component cost is a small part of the overall picture that drives gas prices compared to refinery capacity and gasoline supply and demand. He said the weak

Newton takes to the streets ▶ BIA WILL HOST A COMMUNITY WALK THE FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH KEVIN DIAKIW
Newton is planning to take back its streets, one walk at a time. Starting Friday (March 6), the Newton Business Improvement Association (BIA) will be holding a community walk
in an effort to “drive change” in the neighbourhood. “As a result, 2015 is Newton’s year to take back its streets and galvanize the community,” BIA Executive Director Philip Aguirre said. “Newton must take ownership of its future and community buy in is essential to ensure its long term vibrancy and optimism.” As part of the initiative, the organization has adopted several streets, including a section of 72 Avenue (East of King George Boulevard), King George
from 68 Avenue to 78 Avenue and 137 Street from 72 to 74 Avenue. During the community walk, the group will be identifying problems, such as graffiti, illegal signs, abandoned shopping carts, illegal dumping and problem properties, and reporting to it to the city. The walks will be held the first Friday of each month, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Newton BIA office (200-7380 King George Blvd.) All supplies will be provided.

Dragons, Raiders qualify for provincials ▼ PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS NEXT WEEK AT LANGLEY EVENTS CENTRE RICK KUPCHUK
Home-court advantage helped lift the Fleetwood Park Dragons to a Fraser Valley Senior AAA boys high school basketball championship. The Dragons, ranked sixth by BC Boys High School Basketball, defeated the Robert Bateman Timberwolves of Abbotsford 72-69 in the championship game of the eight-team Fraser Valley tournament Saturday night at Fleetwood Park Secondary. Fleetwood Park will now advance to play in the B.C. championship tournament March 11-14 at the Langley Events Centre. “We were up 29-16 and I thought we would coast to a win,” said Dragons head coach Jordan Taylor. “But we let them back in the game. It was nice to see the guys grind out a win like that.” Armaan Khangura of the Dragons was the tournament MVP. Teammates Emeka Okuma and Nikhail Berar were first-team all-stars. The Dragons edged the Rick Hansen Hurricanes 65-64 in a first-round game last Wednesday (Feb. 25) then toppled the Brookswood Bobcats 49-30 on Thursday. The three wins at the Fraser Valley tournament extended the Dragons’ win streak at Fleetwood Park Secondary to 34 games.

I think we have the potential to reach the final four, but all games are tough. Everyone is playing well at this time of year.” The Delview Raiders hosted the Boys Senior AA Fraser Valley tournament, but had to go through the back door to qualify for the provincial tournament. The Raiders, ranked second in the province, were upset by the Langley Christian Lightning 81-79 in the first round last Wednesday. Eliminated from championship contention but still in pursuit of a top four finish and a berth to the B.C. championships, the Raiders cruised by the Thomas Haney Thunder 93-48 on Thursday, then clinched a place at the provincial tournament with a 98-66 victory over the Pacific Academy Breakers Friday night. On Saturday, Delview won the third-place game 96-56 over Langley Christian. “As a coach, I am extremely proud of my continued on page 21

Hawks hope slump ends in playoff against Chiefs ▶ MAJOR MIDGET HOCKEY TEAM WILL
PLAY BEST-OF-THREE QUARTERFINAL PLAYOFF SERIES ON THE ROAD RICK KUPCHUK
A lengthy winless streak will need to be snapped for the Valley West Hawks to have any success in the BC Hockey Major Midget League playoffs. Winless in six games played over the last three weeks of the season, the Hawks slipped to sixth place in the final standings with an 18-14-78 (won-lost-tied) record. They will now face the third-place Vancouver Chiefs (25-10-5) in a bestof-three quarterfinal series. Valley West had been challenging for a top four
placing and home ice advantage in the playoffs in early February, but two ties and four losses over their final six games saw the team plunge from near the front to the middle of the pack. The Hawks lost twice last weekend, falling 3-2 and 5-3 on the road to the North Island Silvertips. Needing just one win on Vancouver Island to climb past the idle Vancouver Canadians into fifth place, Valley West struggled in both games. Down 2-0 in the second period Saturday in Nanaimo, the Hawks pulled even when Surrey’s
Jeff Stewart scored midway through the second period then set up White Rock’s Ben Evanish for tying goal four minutes later. The Silvertips regained the lead at 3-2 after 40 minutes, and held on through a scoreless third period. The Hawks again fell behind early in Sunday’s rematch in Courtenay, and three goals from Stewart wasn’t enough to prevent a second straight loss. Valley West will get a boost for the postseason. They have been without leading scorer James Malm and head coach Jessie Leung for the past two weeks. Both were with Team BC at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, and for Malm, his absence has cost him a league scoring title. He was overtaken by
Owen Seidel of the Vancouver Canadians, who with 17 goals and 50 assists edged Malm by one point as top scorer. Malm, from Langley, totalled 20 goals and 66 points despite playing just 31 games, seven fewer than Seidel. The Hawks’ winless streak began Feb. 14-15 when they dropped two games against the Chiefs by scores of 11-5 and 7-2. Last November, Valley West swept a twogame series from the Chiefs by scores of 4-1- and 4-3. Their quarterfinal series begins with two games at the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex at 5 p.m. Saturday and again at noon Sunday. If a third game is necessary, it will be played at 6 p.m. Monday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre in Coquitlam.

KPU Eagles ride win streak into the playoffs RICK KUPCHUK
Although they were the last team to qualify for the provincial playoffs, the KPU (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) Eagles go into the postseason on a bit of a roll. The PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Association) women’s basketball team won both games in the final week of play, improved their won-loss record to 7-14, and have now won three of their last five outings.
KPU defeated the Douglas College Royals 52-48 last Thursday night in New Westminster for their first win of the season over their first-round playoff opponent. Down 23-18 at the half, the Eagles outscored Douglas by nine points over the final 20 minutes for the win in a game that saw five lead changes. Samantha McPhail led the KPU attack with 16 points and 10 rebounds, with Shilpa Khanna tallying 10 points. Saturday night in Vancouver, McPhail added her second double double of the weekend, scoring 15

players who managed to stay mentally tough the day after the devastating loss to Langley Christian,” said Raiders coach Vladimir Nikic. “The boys wanted to show that the first loss of the Fraser Valley tournament was not a realistic indication of our ability.” Wowie Untalan had a triple double for Delview in Saturday’s game, scoring 34 points to go with 15 assists and 13 rebounds. Bilaval Aujla with 28 points and Rehman Solehria with 22 also contributed to the win. Untalan was named a first-team all-star, with Aujla and Arshdeep Saran selected to the second team. Despite their number-two ranking in the provincial poll, Delview has been seeded 11th for the provincial tournament and has drawn the Kwalikum Kondors of Qualicum Beach in the first round next Wednesday. “This year’s provincial championship is going to be the most competitive one in the last five years,” said Nikic. “Every year, there are one or two teams that stand out, but this year, there are no favourites. All 16 teams will have a legitimate chance of playing for the banner on Saturday night.” The Southridge Storm, ranked fourth in B.C. and second in the Fraser Valley, won the Senior AA tournament, outlasting the
G.W. Graham Grizzlies 92-88 in the championship game. “It was a very up-tempo game, played at a fantastic pace,” said Storm head coach Steve Anderson. “We like to get the ball up the court, and we got the tempo in our favour in the second half. The guys
executed well, and the pace came back to our level.” Hunter Hughes, the six-foot-seven Grade 11 forward for the Storm, was the tournament MVP. Sam Chan was a firstteam all-star with Matthew Anderau a second-team choice. The Storm earned

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
The Rockwoods neighbourhood, quality family living for many years to come Living is good at The Rockwoods. Located in the vibrant Fleetwood neighborhood in the city of Surrey - considered Metro Vancouver’s fastest growing city, the sought-after area has all the benefits of convenient living without sacrificing natural beauty. From shopping and schools to parks and recreation, discover and enjoy The Rockwoods - a popular collection of quality-built three-level townhomes. “The Rockwoods offers functional, affordable townhomes with great curb appeal at a central Fleetwood location,” says director of marketing, Peter Edmonds. “Most of our buyers are younger couples or families, looking for a well-located home at an affordable price.” In 2014, The Rockwoods was the best-selling townhome community in Surrey, which was the result of a combination of factors, including the community’s location in the increasingly popular Fleetwood neighborhood, the appealing contemporary exterior architecture, and functional two-bedroom plus den, three-bedroom and four-bedroom floorplans from 1180 sq. ft. to 1540 sq. ft. The multiple bedroom options make The Rockwoods homes perfect for growing families,

Rockwoods’ clubhouse, because having fun isn’t just for the kids. The spacious outdoor lounging deck is the perfect place for parties or casual entertainment, while the floor-to-ceiling glass gym is ideal for a sunny morning work out. Outside, each townhome harnesses the contemporary vibe of West coast living, using the appeal of timber and stonework for an incredibly balanced design. Granite countertops, wood laminate flooring, stainless steel appliances and an extended kitchen island in the corner suites – some over nine feet long, are just some of the features that prove the consideration and attention to detail put into these homes. That’s because Anthem Properties’ vision and dedication creates real estate that works and welcomes you home; from location, affordability, functionality and design. “Homebuyers can buy with confidence, knowing that we’ve crafted our homes to build on that reputation in the years to come,” says Edmonds. ”Our last phase just recently launched, so you can choose from a wide selection of homes now.” When a homeowner walks into a home at The Rockwoods, they can expect an environment that feels comfortable to live in, day in and day out, and also functions well; the finishes are well-appointed, the storage is ample and wellplaced, the layout has a great flow to it - all of these things add up a home that truly works. “Whether someone is up-sizing or down-sizing, The Rockwoods offers a quality-built home that will hold its value in the fullness of time.” Prices for these two-plus-den, three- and four-bedroom townhomes start at $299,900, with a $5,000 bonus available for a limited time. The Rockwoods’ presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily (except Fridays) at 1 – 8473 – 163rd St. in Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood.

The Nissan Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL) allows charging to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations using a DC fast charger. There will be additional incentives for those installing 220-volt fast chargers at home, which reduce charging time to five hours. The fuel efficiency of the four-door, five-seat LEAF is calculated at the gas equivalent of about 2.0 L/100 kms with a range of around 120 kms on a full charge. The LEAF, which interestingly stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car, is now in its fifth model year. It topped 1,000 sales in Canada late last year, making it the country’s top-selling electric car. The 2015 Nissan LEAF models include Rear View Monitor as a standard feature; an available hybrid heater system that provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy; “B” drive mode increases regenerative braking during deceleration; and a standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to the

Driveway will spend the next few weeks taking a spin down Electric Avenue in a brand new 2015 Nissan LEAF. And shortly after the Vancouver International Auto Show closes on March 29, we’ll be handing the keys to one of these eco-friendly electric cars to a reader! (See contest details) Even if you don’t win the prize car, you might want to do more than kick the tires on the emission free vehicle as the BC Government is set to renew its Clean Energy Vehicle incentive program. Details have yet to be revealed but the announced $7.5 million total commitment suggests the instant rebate scheme will reduce the sticker prices for all electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicles by up to $5,000. The Nissan LEAF S edition starts at just under $32,000, which, after the expected point of sale price reduction, puts the sedan at a competitive price point alongside small gas-powered family cars. The SV adds a quick charge port to the car, some additional technology and interior improvements for another $5,000 and the SL adds leather seating and alloy wheels for another $3,000.
