ROAD PRICING REQUIRES PUBLIC VOTE: PREMIER JEFF NAGEL
Premier Christy Clark is holding firm to her position that Metro Vancouver mayors will have to win a referendum if they want to add a new funding source for TransLink, including any eventual imposition of road pricing. “I think it’s the right thing to do to ask people,” Clark said after mayors voted last week to urgently study road pricing options, which could someday replace the tolls on some bridges with per-kilometre fees to drive on all major routes. continued on page 4

onto Fraser Highway. The Jeep then jumped a curb and smashed into a bus shelter where a 22-year-old man was sitting on the bench. The man was identified as Surrey’s Evan Archibald at a roadside memorial. “It appears that he was pinned between the vehicle and the bench,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. Police say Archibald was taken to hospital in critical condition where he succumbed to his injuries. The teen –who police say is a relatively new
driver – remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators with information about the crash. She sustained minor injuries. Schumann said it is too early in the investigation to determine what caused the collision. He said that intoxicants are not believed to be a factor, but wet road conditions may have contributed to the crash. Police are urging drivers to be more cautious as the fall weather arrives. “Definitely when the roads are wet, people have to take more care,” said Schumann.

Surrey Six accused pleads guilty to drug and gun charges ▼ SOPHON SEK WAS OUT ON BAIL ON MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES WHEN HE TRAFFICKED DRUGS
▶ FANTASY ON CANVAS Langley artist Daniel Tibbits paints at the Surrey Skill Share Fair at the Surrey Nature Centre on Oct. 3.

SHEILA REYNOLDS
One of the men charged in connection with the Surrey Six murders has pleaded guilty to seven separate drug- and weapons-related charges. Sophon Sek was charged in March (alongside numerous co-accused) with a string of drug trafficking, possession and firearms offences alleged to have taken place in Surrey between June and September 2014. The charges came after raids that led to a cache of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine and other drugs, as well as money, guns and ammunition. Last Thursday (Oct. 1), Sek pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and two counts of possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition. He was originally charged with 20 offences. The drug and weapons offences took place while Sek was on bail, as he faces manslaughter and break-andenter charges in connection with the October 2007 murder of six men in a Surrey apartment – a mass slaying now commonly referred to as the Surrey Six case. Sophon Sek He was released from custody on bail in early 2010, three months after being charged with manslaughter, and was to adhere to several conditions. Six men were shot to death in the Balmoral apartment tower on Oct. 19, 2007: innocent bystanders Christopher Mohan and Ed Schellenberg, as well as Corey Lal, Michael Lal, Eddie Narong and Ryan Bartolomeo, who had connections to the drug trade. continued on page 4
Queen Elizabeth Secondary marks 75 years in Surrey ▼ SCHOOL IS HOSTING ANNIVERSARY EVENT ON OCT. 15 SHEILA REYNOLDS
It was the late 1930s and people were flowing into Surrey, eager to make the Vancouver suburb their home. There was only one school for teens – Surrey High School – and as it became overcrowded, many students were forced to bus to New Westminster to attend classes. Finally in 1940, two new high schools were opened: Queen Elizabeth Secondary and Semiahmoo Secondary. Desperate to accommodate the influx of families into the community, the school district even opened the doors to Queen Elizabeth Secondary a little early, having students attend every other day for the first couple of months because construction wasn’t quite complete. Now, three-quarters of a century later, the school remains, bustling with students on King George Boulevard where it was first built. (Though the structure is not the original, thanks to a 1967 fire). Next week, QE is celebrating its 75th anniversary and all students, teachers, staff who attended the school between 1940 and 2015 are invited to mark the milestone. The evening celebration is Thursday, Oct. 15. Co-organizer Don Cosens isn’t certain how many people are going to show up, but says he’s heard from lots of former students, several of whom attended QE during the school’s first years. “We’ve got a guy – George Zaklan – who’s going to speak, as well as a few others from back then,” Cosens says. “I’d really like to see 500 people.” The festivities will start at 4 p.m. by showcasing the talents of current students.

“It would be a new funding source,” Clark said, noting the province has been able to build schools and hospitals without creating new taxes. More bridges are expected to be tolled after the Pattullo Bridge and Massey Tunnel are replaced. When asked if those tolls would be subject to referendum, the premier was non-committal. “We’re going to have that discussion about that as those projects continue to go ahead,” Clark said. “But people have choices about whether or not they pay for that new source of funding. If it was a new sales tax, which was proposed in the last referendum, no one would have a choice about whether or not they would have paid for that.” Clark’s comments follow calls last week
for her to abandon the continued referendum requirement on grounds it will thwart transit expansion and effective regional planning. Metro residents voted by a 62 per cent margin against a 0.5-per-cent sales tax earlier this year. Metro mayors have asked TransLink to study mobility pricing options and determine how such a system could be advanced as quickly as possible. A report to the mayors said mobility pricing could cut congestion while generating new funding to expand transit. It notes any move to road pricing should happen before the two new toll bridges are built on the Fraser River, otherwise it could be complex and costly to change deals with P3 bridge operators afterwards. Despite the new urgency to pursue road
pricing, mayors don’t expect the options will be fully fleshed out for months if not years. Previous estimates have suggested such a system is five to eight years away. Communities Minister Peter Fassbender, who has responsibility for TransLink, made it clear the referendum requirement also applies to any move to introduce an annual vehicle levy, which is enabled in TransLink legislation but considered a new tax by the province. He also said a vehicle levy wouldn’t be fair enough to the region’s residents. “People who live in apartments in downtown Vancouver who use transit and who are beneficiaries of the transportation system would not be contributing,” Fassbender said. “It would only be people using and driving cars.” The only tax mayors could feasibly use to

generate new revenue without a referendum is the one they don’t want to use – property tax. Fassbender suggested they relent on that and raise TransLink’s dedicated property tax somewhat to improve bus service while work continues to find a solution to build their proposed major projects – light rail in Surrey, a Broadway SkyTrain extension and the new Pattullo Bridge. “I believe it is a fair and equitable source of funding,” Fassbender said of property tax. “Everybody shares who lives in the region, whether they own or rent, and even if they don’t have a car and ride transit.” He said it’s important to make some progress to realizing the mayors’ plan, which he said was broadly supported in the region despite the referendum failure. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, the Mayors’ Council vice-chair, panned the idea of resorting to property tax. “There are so many pressure points on local government finance, I don’t think there’s an appetite for property tax and I think every single mayor has made that fairly clear.” Hepner said no mayors want to go through another referendum but she defended the decision to research road pricing as necessary to determining if and how it might work here.

Within the Surrey RCMP, he is known for his dedication and work ethic and role model skills. He also speaks four languages. But since early summer, he has led the Surrey RCMP’s Community Mobilization process, more commonly known as Coffee with a Cop sessions where he and other officers speak to residents on issues affecting their neighbourhoods.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you feel you are well-informed about the federal parties’ platforms? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com
Last week we asked: Would you rather see SkyTrain extended in Surrey or Light Rail Transit? Here’s how you responded:
SkyTrain 71% LRT 29%
Top election issue is crime In three of the five Surrey ridings up for grabs in the Oct. 19 federal election, crime is a hot topic. That’s what the candidates are saying. They hear about it all the time on the doorsteps. People in Surrey-Newton, Surrey Centre and Fleetwood-Port Kells are saying there needs to be drastic changes so shootings and gang activity are reduced, if not eliminated. It’s not surprising. There have been dozens of shootings this year and Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains’ nephew was shot to death this spring. Most, if not all, the shootings are linked to the drug trade. Voters in Surrey-Newton are particularly concerned, as many of the shootings are taking place in their neighbourhoods. In one particularly troubling case, shooters were active near Strawberry Hill Elementary on Sept. 15, as children were playing in the area. One man was injured, and bullets struck the school building. That’s completely unacceptable. Newton resident Meera Gill, who lives near the school, has had enough. She helped organize a meeting with candidates on Sunday to discuss the issue of gun violence. She and others wanted to hear what the candidates and their respective parties had to say on the issue.
Candidates are particularly responsive in Surrey-Newton, as it is a genuine three-way race and each vote will really count. NDP incumbent Jinny Sims is battling Sukh Dhaliwal, who was the Liberal MP for Newton-North Delta from 20062011, and Conservative Harpreet Singh, who is well-known for his television talk show. At Sunday’s meeting, there were clashes over how quickly a contingent of 100 extra RCMP officers is arriving in Surrey. That is a valid issue, but extra police will have very little impact on the shootings. Surrey needs extra officers, and has for years, but the people who shoot at each other (and their homes, cars etc.) pay little attention to police. There was also discussion about intervention programs, and such programs are likely a better long-term solution. Young people need to learn, before they are tempted by the easy money of selling drugs, what the ultimate price of such involvement is. They also need to be given a wide choice of alternate activities. Young people who are involved in sports, music, drama, community groups and other things don’t have the time or inclination to get involved in selling drugs.

Surrey RCMP has an intervention program that works with 300 youth a year. The school district and RCMP also work together on the Surrey Wrap program, which assists youth at risk of falling into gangs. The RCMP also sponsor several sports programs, and many other organizations are deeply involved in offering alternatives for youth. These types of programs likely do far more good than simply adding additional police officers. Young people should be able to safely walk home at night and should be able to live their day-to-day lives without fearing shootings. On Sept. 1, 74-year-old Ping Shun Ao was killed in Abbotsford as a result of shots being fired by members of a gang. They were actually shooting at a neighbouring home. Ao was outside in his yard and was killed. No one wants to see a repeat of that tragedy in Surrey or anywhere else. Those seeking office on Oct. 19 in Surrey must commit to an active program of keeping youth disinterested in drug and gang activity.

Dismayed by Conservative performance ▼ CANDIDATES TRY TO SELL THE PARTY LINE I was disappointed by the Conservative performance at the all-candidates meeting hosted by Panorama Neighbourhood Association on Oct. 4, which was, frankly, dismal. And it was a performance, featuring transparent rhetoric and parroted lines delivered almost apologetically . Dean Drysdale and Harpreet Singh started off in okay form, Drysdale having gone around to shake everyone’s hand before the
debate began. But they ducked and muddled their way through questions about agriculture, finances and crime. When asked about mental health, Drysdale passed on the question, admitting that he knew too little about it to say anything of value. His comments about the universal childcare benefit elicited shocked exclamations, grumbles of disbelief, and shaking heads from the audience. He seems to think that it would tear families apart and force them to enroll their children at childcare facilities. He added he disapproved of having children raised by “strangers” and praised Canadians for their ability to work around the lack of universal
childcare by playing Tetris with work shifts or getting Grandma to raise the kids. Cries of “what about single parents” and similar comments were disregarded. Perhaps the most offensive moment occurred when the subject of Bill C-24 came up. When asked if he would disavow Stephen Harper’s “old-stock Canadian” comment, Drysdale gave a long-winded no. He said that he thought the term was an appropriate description and seemed exasperated that the media was making such a big deal about it. Singh added that he approved of the legislation because it only applies to terrorists and those committing high treason. Anyone

who isn’t a terrorist, he implied, shouldn’t be concerned about the bill. Neither of them seemed willing or able to understand how the bill might possibly create two classes of citizenship. The sight of the Conservative candidates trying to sell the party line to an audience that had started out open minded but ended up mostly unsympathetic, their faces carefully blank as they gave increasingly scripted and vague answers, was almost amusing. Less amusing is the fact that some people are still going to vote for them on Oct. 19. Sylvia Traphan, Surrey

Why is it that politicians desperate for votes make promises without fully understanding the impact of their proposed changes or offering similar rights, freedoms or safeguards to people who will be affected by them? We have heard from the Liberal and NDP leaders how they will regulate marijuana the minute they become the governing party.
However we have not heard how they will safeguard the public from second-hand marijuana smoke and the offensive smell associated with smoking pot. Take for instance the case of those living in multi-family housing and apartments that can and will be affected unless enforceable laws are put into effect prior to changing any laws that will subject people to pot-related issues. Take into consideration the approximate 300,000 B.C. residents that are affected by asthma and other lung and breathing ailments.
CRAFTY CREATIONS
What do the politicians have in mind to protect them? Instead our politicians blindly stumble ahead, with hollow promises that change will be good for everyone. When does true
leadership come into effect, leadership that looks at both sides of the issue and acts on behalf of everyone – not just a vocal lobby? I expect my government to be as mindful of my rights to the enjoy-

A Vehicle Breakdown Leads to Fatal Injury
THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca
Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor
xcept for the particulars, of course, the tragedy that unfolded last week on a rural highway in Alberta is not, alas, unique. It happened about 20 km west of Calgary on Highway 22, about 5 kms northeast of the townsite of Redwood Meadows. It was nighttime and dark, around 10 pm on Thursday October 3rd. A 53-year-old female resident of the Stoney Nakoda First Nation driving her minivan with one passenger, a man in his early 40s, had vehicle trouble—trouble enough that it stopped running. The driver got out to try and flagged down help. It may be likely that the traffic on the highway at that time and in that place was light. When a southbound pickup truck hauling a covered utility trailer showed up, she attempted to stop it. At this point reports of what happened exactly are silent. But the results were horrendous: the pickup truck struck and killed her. Cochrane RCMP responded to the calls for help. Paramedics declared the woman dead at the scene. Her passenger, who had remained in the minivan, was “taken to hospital with medical concerns unrelated to the incident.” The pickup truck driver and his passenger were uninjured, and it was determined that the driver was not impaired. Vehicle break down is dangerous wherever and whenever it happens. The problem is most acute on highways because higher vehicle speeds defeat slower reaction times. By the time a driver has sorted out that a vehicle ahead is stopped and that
someone is on the roadway, the braking distance may be insufficient to avoid ploughing into the scene. A rule of thumb linked to always preserving a safe following distance and always looking as far ahead as possible is to begin braking immediately upon detecting any disruption ahead in the traffic pattern. But this is the quintessential challenge of highway driving: remaining constantly alert while being lulled into complacency by the long periods of steady, unchanging traffic flow. Nighttime driving is particularly challenging. In darkness, it takes longer to determine whether or not a vehicle in trouble is actually stopped. Vehicle lighting is a double-edged sword. An odd effect of activated flashers and high beams is to attract rather than alert and repel oncoming traffic. Emergency responders are particularly vulnerable to this counterintuitive phenomenon. Vehicles break down on bridges, in tunnels, in HOV lanes, on arterial road shoulders, in parking lots. If possible, moving your vehicle as far to the roadside as possible, activating your emergency flashers, phoning for help on 911, exiting your vehicle, if safe to do so only from the right side and staying off the roadway—all of these actions need to be considered at a time when clearheadedness and steadiness of purpose will be difficult. Of course prevention is the best advice: Don’t run out of gas; don’t ignore problems; don’t drive a vehicle that needs mechanical attention. Even so, with all best efforts made, modern vehicles are conglomerations of highly complex bits and parts. When driving, we should always contemplate the possibility of breaking down and how to respond as safely as possible. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B

A 23-year-old Surrey man is dead after his car collided with a power pole last weekend. On Sunday at 5:20 a.m., the man was heading south on King George Boulevard, near 72 Avenue, when his black Saturn veered into a power pole. He died at the scene. No one else was in the vehicle at the time. Potential factors of excessive speed, alcohol and whether a seat belt was worn at the time are all being investigated, police say. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has further information is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 or Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca

Flu DNA to suppress vaccine again ▶ GENETIC MISMATCH WILL MAKE VACCINATIONS UNDERPERFORM FOR A SECOND YEAR JEFF NAGEL
There are signs the flu season may hit B.C. early and hard and public health officials are warning they expect the flu vaccine to again be less effective than they’d like. The most dangerous influenza type for vulnerable people is the H3N2 strain that was dominant in last year’s severe flu season. But because of a genetic mismatch, the vaccine provided last year was useless in warding off H3N2, according to B.C. Centre for Disease Control epidemiologist Dr. Danuta Skowronski. That component of the vaccine was replaced on orders of the World Health Organization, but preliminary evidence suggests the new version will still not be a good match against H3N2, falling well short of the 60 to 70 per cent protection rates against other flu strains in most years. “I believe it’s going to be better than last year – in other words I don’t think it’s going to be zero – but by how much, I can’t say,” Skowronski said. She said there’s good reason to hope it may be 40 to 60 per cent effective overall, adding she continues to recommend the vaccine, particularly for those more vulnerable. “If you are a highrisk person, especially with heart and lung conditions or elderly, even if you’re looking at vaccine protection of 30, 40 or 50 per cent, you’re still better off than if you’re unvaccinated.” Flu vaccine will be widely available by November and may be offered sooner than that in high-risk
settings like residential care homes. Epidemiologists had expected H3N2 would be less prevalent this year, with more of a mix of H1N1 and influenza B strains also in circulation, making the mismatch less of a worry. But Skowronski noted there have already been two H3N2 outbreaks in long-term care homes in B.C.’s Vancouver Coastal health region – one in the summer and another in late September. “To have had outbreak activity already in the summer is very unusual,” she said. “We are monitoring that closely for the possibility of an early season.” Apart from last year, B.C. hasn’t seen flu outbreaks this early since 2009. Last year, with H3N2 widespread and the mismatched vaccine offering no defence, there were 175 outbreaks in long-term care homes. That was the highest number in more than a decade and twice as many outbreaks as the previous peak year of 2012. Skowronski acknowledged the mismatch problems threaten to erode public confidence in the flu vaccine but hopes vulnerable patients are not dissuaded. “For me, it would be a double tragedy, frankly, if coming out of last season our highrisk people lost faith and did not get the vaccine.” While influenza is a “miserable” illness, Skowronski said it’s not life-threatening to healthy people, for whom vaccination is still encouraged but a matter of personal preference. About one-third of B.C. residents typically get the flu vaccine each year. H3N2 vaccines have consistently underperformed in recent years.

Does sustainability sound like fun for kids? The new Kids Gallery at the Surrey Museum makes a go of it, with big ideas and green activities – including an indoor tree fort that rises to the ceiling. The interactive gallery helps children learn about challenging concepts such sustainability, climate change, carbon footprint and energy conservation. Illustrated characters Alisha, Blaze and Stella the Jay explain the concepts with buttons, levers, switches and gears to manipulate. “It’s like nothing else in the Lower Mainland,” said Greg Yellenik, Curator of Exhibits for the museum. “Kids can do safe experiments about electricity and even discover how many chocolate bars equal the energy in a bucket of coal. There’s
a huge tree fort for climbing, an energy bike for riding and lots more.” Families are invited to attend the grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 17710 56A Ave. The open house includes visits by clown Zox of the Forest and The Re-enactors, a puppet show and refreshments. “Sustainability is not a new idea,” said Yellenik. “Surrey pioneers were very good at the Three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. They had to be.” The gallery will be refreshed through Fall 2016 with changing themes of energy, water and agriculture. The future expansion of the Museum, expected in 2017, will see this Kids Gallery triple in size, adding more educational, stimulating and fun activities. The event on is free and for all ages.

Tsawwassen Springs:
The time is now
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
I
t’s true, there is a lot happening in Tsawwassen and now is the best time to become part of it. Although the area has gone undeveloped for years, that untapped potential is finally being recognized, with propriety value only expected to increase. There is still a chance to buy into the area with Tsawwassen Springs - a beautiful six-storey concrete Condo building located at 5011 Springs Boulevard. By Nicolle Hodges
Now selling Phase 3, the 90 Condos that range from 553 sq.ft studios to over 2,600 sq.ft penthouses that are suitable for people at varying stages of life. “The general appeal is that it is worry free living,” says Sarah Toigo, Director, Sales and Marketing, of Tsawwassen Springs. “We have seen people moving out of larger houses into similar or smaller square footage, and occasionally more square footage. We have also sold to investors, as the rent we are getting here is comparable, if not more in some cases, to Vancouver rent.” The future is bright for Tsawwassen, with numerous upgrades adding to the current and future value of the area. A new shopping mall, Tsawwassen Mills, is slated to open next year, and major transportation improvements are currently underway, including the widening of Highway 17, the South Fraser Perimeter Road opening, the Tunnel Improvement Plan and a bridge replacement. “With that said, Tsawwassen is a peninsula, so we are limited as to how far we can expand,” says Toigo. “So I expect our small town feel to stay just
The Arts & Crafts theme is echoed in the interior design. The organic beauty of granite, wood and wool are ever present. as charming.” Tsawwassen Springs is currently offering incentives on their Phase 3 Condo release for homebuyers who purchase in October. “For smaller suites, we will offer a limited time cash incentive,” she says. “On larger suites, we will include a double car garage in the underground - hugely popular in our Phase 2 building.” The incentives compliment the already distinct features that make Tsawwassen Springs a worthy investment. Proximity: It takes twenty minutes to get to YVR and thirty minutes to get downtown. If you are looking for a community feel without being isolated from urban conveniences, the town of Tsawwassen is it. Masterplanned community: What makes Tsawwassen Springs a head above the rest is that they offer maximum integrity with every detail, says Toigo. They only work with one architect, one builder, and one developer in every respect of the development. Amenities: The amenities at Tsawwassen Springs are all A-plus. The nearby golf course was completely rebuilt as an all-season course with superior drainage that keeps fairways green all year long. The highly anticipated steak and seafood house, Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar is opening this fall, and the Springs
Ballroom can be transformed to accommodate special events for up to 500 guests. The Real Estate: Customization is key for Tsawwassen Springs, offering over 8 different floor plans and 3 interior design colour palettes carefully selected by award-winning Martie Knockaert of Different Designs Group Inc. “These options allow [homebuyers] to participate in the look of their home,” says Toigo. “Lots of people want to be able to build a
custom home, but don’t have the time or interest, so this allows them to customize within our parameters.” Every aspect of Tsawwassen Springs is high end, from exterior to interior finishings. Enjoy the comfort of a large master bedroom, oversized windows that allow plenty of natural light, hardwood floors, stain-resistant wool carpet, a spacious, covered deck with a natural gas hookup for barbeques and overhead heaters. Plus, Tsawwassen Springs has solar panels
A striking feature of the condominium buildings is size of the decks-outdoor spaces.
to offset maintenance fees, as well as a geoexchange heating and cooling system that uses the temperature of the earth to provide heating, cooling, and hot water. It’s the goal of the Tsawwassen Springs team to make everyone feel at home and ensure the area serves as a sanctuary where families can thrive. They host regular community events for Homeowners to get to know each other, and have even developed a closed community page on their website where Homeowners can arrange to meet, plan tee times, walks, coffee dates, etc. “I grew up in Tsawwassen, and I think what makes this the best kept secret is that people are still friendly and good to each other,” says Toigo. “You go for a walk on the dike, and people you pass say ‘hello,’ and its not because you know them. It’s super safe. It’s sunny here. We have three times as much as the rest of the Lower Mainland, and you get this super sweet, charming, small town life, with big city proximity. It’s the best of everything.” For more information, including show home hours, visit tsawwassensprings.ca

Stuck in traffic and financially strapped ▶ RIDING PROFILE: CLOVERDALE-LANGLEY CITY JENNIFER LANG
The fifth of a series: The Leader continues to shine a spotlight on candidates in each of this area’s six federal ridings: Surrey-Newton, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Surrey-Centre, Cloverdale-Langley City, South Surrey-White Rock and Delta. The stories can also be read online at surreyleader.com
transit infrastructure, which he admits was lacking historically.
•••
To NDP candidate Rebecca Smith, the transit issue is just one area of many where the federal government in the past 22 years, first under the Liberals and more recently the Conservatives, has fallen short of their commitment to voters by cutting payments to provinces. The 44-year-old Cloverdale resident says the NDP has pledged $1.2 billion, every year, for 20 years, to fund transit investments across Canada, a pledge Smith has no qualms with. “People want infrastructure support and we can’t ignore it,” she said. “Our party has stated, straight up, we’re not about cutting things, we’re about being a transparent, reliable partner.”

Election issue: Tories talk tough on crime and justice â&#x2013;ś KEY CONSERVATIVE REFORMS HAVE BEEN ROLLED BACK BY THE COURTS JEFF NAGEL
Innocent victims slain over the past year in Surrey and Abbotsford, along with dozens of gang-linked shootings, have made crime a hot topic in the federal election campaign. All three major parties have promised to add more police to fight gang crime, including Liberal and NDP vows to immediately deploy 100 more Mounties in Surrey. But the Conservatives continue to project themselves as toughest on crime. Leader Stephen Harper has vowed to reintroduce a lapsed â&#x20AC;&#x153;life means lifeâ&#x20AC;? bill to take away any chance at parole for the worst murderers. It comes on top of earlier reforms, like the stacking of parole eligibility periods so a quadruple murderer can now be made to wait 100 years for a shot at getting out. Other key changes have reduced the scope to use house arrest rather than jail, and reduced parole leniency for non-violent offenders. But the Harper crime agenda has been reined in by the courts, which have limited government attempts to impose more minimum sentences, most notably striking down mandatory three-year terms for gun crimes.
The government also tried to erase the practice of granting double credit for remand time served in jail before trial, but the Supreme Court of Canada has allowed judges to continue to grant 1.5 days credit for each day served. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions have hobbled or at the very least bridled the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; law-and-order agenda,â&#x20AC;? SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s among the observers who warn the lock-em-up-longer approach threatens to cost Canada billions of dollars more to imprison convicts, as well as more protracted fights in the courts that will mainly benefit constitutional lawyers. One of the newest Conservative campaign promises is to create a list of gangs to make prosecuting members easier without first having to prove in each case that the group is a criminal organization. Gordon doubts it will work because, in the case of the Hells Angels, not every member of the gang is involved in serious organized crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Surrey, this is even less worthwhile because the groups active in the last six months donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have names,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run around with banners saying they are members of this, that or the other organization.â&#x20AC;? Other new Tory promises pledge two-year minimum sentences for fraudsters with multiple victims unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full restitution, and easing the burden of evidence in prosecuting drunk drivers, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether that would reverse B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

recent shift from impaired prosecutions to roadside penalties. Despite the intense spotlight on warring gangs, criminologists like Gordon point out crime rates have actually been declining for decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crime is falling and so is the rate of severe crimes,â&#x20AC;? he said. The reason isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Conservative policy, he said, but societal changes, particularly the demographic shift thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left proportionally fewer young men who are most prone to crime. Technology has helped. There are more theft-resistant cars, alarm-protected homes, and video cameras poised to record crimes than ever before. And youth who

Clinics, she points out, reach their daily quota and can shut their doors regardless of demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make things better,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more family doctors.â&#x20AC;? She says the NDP has promised to fund and recruit 7,000 more family doctors across Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed.â&#x20AC;? While Cloverdale hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often been the site of the frequent gang-related shootings in Surrey, the community was rocked by violent crime this summer. Colin Hill, a 42-year-old father, was shot and killed when he confronted a 22-year-old man with a long criminal record breaking into his home. As with the 2013 killing of Julie Paskall in Newton, it reinforced the sense that random attacks can happen anywhere. Drysdale, one of three Cloverdale-Langley City candidates who are bilingual (Aldag and
Smith are, too), says crime â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially on the Surrey end of the riding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and safety are a key focus for voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have different views on it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want more police, they want tougher laws. They want more programs to keep kids
were once more apt to find trouble outside may be increasingly diverted now by online distractions that keep them indoors or staring at screens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are pop-ups of course, in particular in spots like Surrey, which all has to do with the illegal drug trade and the failure to deal with that,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. What would work to further cut crime? Gordon lists marijuana reform and an end to the Lower Mainlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patchwork system of RCMP and municipal police jurisdictions. Advocates have repeatedly called for more wraparound services to help intercept and rehabilitate prolific offenders, as well as better addiction treatment, education, gang prevention initiatives, and even anti-poverty measures like housing for the homeless. Gordon said such social policy strategies hold promise, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resonate with voters as well as hawkish rhetoric, and politicians who propose them may be denounced as soft on crime. The NDP would decriminalize marijuana, while the Liberals and Greens would legalize it and tax it. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has said he may repeal some mandatory minimums on sentencing, which he said should be reserved for serious and violent offences. Liberals have pledged to tighten access to handguns and restricted firearms, and devote $100 million a year to anti-gang task forces to target gun and gang violence. The NDP have said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d strive to emphasize rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners. NDP leader Tom Mulcair has also pledged $250 million for a police recruitment fund and to invest $40 million to reverse cuts to shelters for women fleeing violence.

Taiwanese opera in Surrey SHEILA REYNOLDS
The name of the show is Once in a Life Time, and for those wishing to see a professional Taiwanese opera in their own backyard, the title may not be farfetched. Ming Hwa Yuan Arts and Cultural group is coming to Canada for the first time, performing in Surrey this weekend as the only Canadian performance in a 13-stop North American Tour. The world-renowned Taiwanese troupe is celebrating 86 years by bringing the traditional art form to the international arena. The show is comprised of two performances. The first, entitled Lovebird Spears, is adapted from a humourous and
heart-warming tale of an Emperor in disguise who stumbles upon a martial arts competition – and not only wins the contest but the love of a beautiful maiden. The second performance is called General of the Empire and, with its elaborate battle scenes, spotlights the acting prowess of the performers’ singing and physical stage presence. The castle sieges involving the use of long ladders showcase action sequences from Chinese martial arts and traditional opera. Once in a Life Time takes place Sunday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Bell Performing Arts Centre (6250 144 St.). There will also be a marketplace with Taiwanese vendors in the lobby from 5-7 p.m. Tickets are $20-50, available at www.bellperformingartscentre. com or by phoning 604-507-6355.

Crusaders to start league play in Langley ▼ HOLY CROSS FALLS TO BATEMAN TIMBERWOLVES FOR FIRST LOSS OF THE PRESEASON RICK KUPCHUK
In their final preseason game of the season, the Holy Cross Crusaders learned how much mistakes can cost them. The B.C. High School Football Association team fell 17-10 at home to the Robert Bateman Timberwolves Saturday afternoon at Holy Cross Regional High School. “It was a frustrating loss today,” said Crusaders head coach Conrad Deugau of the defeat, the first in four
preseason games. “We took too many penalties and it cost us. Bateman capitalized on our mistakes. Full credit to them. They came in and took it to us.” Running back Jordan O’Reilly scored the lone Crusaders touchdown. Marcus Browne led the defense with a pair of interceptions. The Crusaders are at McLeod Park in Langley today (Friday) for their first regular season game in the Senior AA category against a Southern Conference rival, the Langley Saints. The Saints were also 3-1 (won-lost) in preseason play. Langley was in North Delta last weekend for their final preseason game, and defeated the Seaquam Seahawks 32-16. The Seahawks, who play in the Senior AAA Pacific Division, will start their regular season tomorrow (Saturday) at home against the Salmon Arm Golds.
What a difference a few days makes. A little over a week after the Surrey Eagles blew a third-period lead and lost to the Merritt Centennials at the BC Hockey League Showcase, the South Surrey squad turned the tables on their Interior Division foes this week, winning 5-4 thanks to a barrage of goals in the final frame. Trailing 2-1 after 40 minutes of action at South Surrey Arena Sunday, the home side scored four times – Merritt replied twice – to steal two points in the standings. Eagles’ captain Kyle Star wasted little time tying the game, scoring just 20 seconds in the period, though Merritt’s Zak Bowles restored the Centennials’ lead just 56 seconds later. John Wesley – who returned to the Eagles nest last week after being a late cut of the Western Hockey League’s Lethbridge Hurricanes – and Darius Davidson followed suit, scoring twice in under two minutes, though the back-and-forth battle continued later in the period, when Nick Jermain once again tied the game for the visitors. Donovan Ott scored what turned out to be the winning goal for the Eagles, beating Centennial netminder Cole Kehler with less than five minutes to go in the game. Justin LaForest picked up the win for Surrey, stopping 28 of 32 shots. Five Eagles had multiple-point games, led by Wesley, who had a goal and two assists, and Kodi Schwarz, who had three helpers. Ty Westgard had two assists, Ott had a pair of goals, while Davidson and Star each had a goal and an assist. The win was the Eagles’ second of the season, and boosted the team’s record to 2-6 – good enough to bump themselves out of the cellar of the BCHL’s Mainland Division. They’re now one point up on the Prince George Spruce Kings, who have just one win in eight games. Sunday’s victory was also a welcome start to the month of October, after September ended up as a sour note for the Birds. Last Wednesday at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, the Eagles were shut out 6-0 by the Chiefs. The game started out fairly even, with the home team leading just 1-0 after the first period, but the second period was the Eagles’ undoing. Chilliwack scored five unanswered goals in the middle frame including one one the power play, to stake themselves to a 6-0 lead. The five goals came during a 19-shots-on-goal outburst for the Chiefs, who peppered LaForest with rubber, eventually driving him from the crease in favour of backup netminder Daniel Davidson, who stopped 20 of 21 shots on goal the rest of the way. Though the Chiefs scored just once with the man-advantage, the Eagles did themselves few favours in any comeback attempt – they were shorthanded for much of the second half the game, racking up 36 minutes in penalties, four 10-minute misconducts and two game misconducts. The Eagles will play one more game on home ice this Friday – 7 p.m. against the Chiefs – before hitting the continued on page 23
