GANG VIOLENCE IS ON THE RISE THIS YEAR ▶ ANTI-GANG POLICE UNIT RELEASES ITS 2015 COMMUNITY REPORT JEFF NAGEL

Gang violence has shot up this year in B.C. after a two-year lull. There have been 30 gang-linked murders and attempted murders as of June 30, nearly twice as many as the 18 in all of 2014 and up from 24 in 2013. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett said many of the incidents were in Surrey or Delta, where B.C.’s anti-gang police unit worked closely with local officers to suppress conflict between rival groups, with success later in the year.

A new liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant is being proposed by the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN), Fortis BC and other partners, but TFN leaders will first put it to a vote of their members to gauge their support before actively pursuing it. Chief Bryce Williams said he will follow the will of his people, but believes

the project would offer significant benefits, including revenue for the TFN and up to 100 long-term jobs for members. “I think it’s a very interesting project and it has very good potential of moving forward,” Williams said, adding he’s not taking sides in the vote set for Dec. 16. continued on page 5

▶ COMMUNITY REPORT FEATURES REAL LIFE STORIES

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit’s 2015 community crime report can be found at bc-anti-gang.com FILE PHOTO from page 3

“Street level drug traffickers brazenly shot at each other from moving vehicles and engaged in gun battles on our roads putting the community at risk,” Hackett said. His comments were published last week in the CFSEU’s 2015 community report. It can be found at bc-anti-gang.com. According to statistics released in the report, the average age of a gang violence victim is 25 years old, which is younger than in previous years. The youngest victim

this year was 15, while the oldest was 66. Over the past 10 years, there have been 15 female victims of gang violence and there have been 35 mass gang shootings (involving multiple victims of gun violence at one location) claiming 85 victims. Significant arrests have been made this year. Two men face charges in connection with a series of arsons and shootings in previous years targeting staff of the Justice Institute of B.C. Hackett also cited the arrests of two extremely violent and prolific dangerous offenders from Edmonton in the Lower Mainland who were tied to crimes in B.C. and Alberta, including murders, attempted murders and violent home invasions involving the torture and mutilation of victims. Hackett said a joint forces operation led by the CFSEU was needed because the “brazen and transient” crime group posed a higher risk to public safety. In the courts, the trial of three men for the 2011 murder of gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna is expected to get underway next spring. The community report features one young woman’s insider story of life within a gang – packaging cocaine for sale, acting as a cross-country drug mule and growing increasingly terrified as risks escalate and drug deals go wrong. Early on she had been seduced by the lifestyle, befriending gang members, including two young men who would later end up dead off Colebrook Road in Surrey. “That’s literally where gangster dreams go to die,” she said. The unnamed woman describes an open casket funeral of one of the young victims – a deliberate choice of his parents to show the bullet through his head. She was one of the lucky ones who has escaped the life. Less fortunate was Brianna Kinnear, who once reassured her worried mom: “They don’t murder girls.” The 22-year-old was found shot to death in a pick-up truck in Coquitlam in 2009. Her murder is unsolved and her tearful mother is featured in a new CFSEU video.

Carol Kinnear lost her daughter, 22-year-old Brianna Kinnear, to the gang lifestyle in 2009. Brianna was found shot to death in a pick-up truck and her murder remains unsolved. PHOTO SUBMITTED The report also highlights two Abbotsford high school students who were executed in 2009 on Sumas Mountain as examples of adolescents lured by the temptation of a luxury lifestyle fuelled by drug cash. “They were not high-level drug lords,” the report says of the slain Grade 12s from W. J. Mouat Secondary School. “They were two kids who wanted to be able to pay for a limousine to get to prom.” It says B.C. teachers are reporting children as young as nine asking 11-year-olds on elementary school playgrounds who they can talk to about selling some drugs. Prevention remains a major focus of the CFSEU, which continues to press its End Gang Life initiative with school presentations and emotional videos from former gang members or surviving loved ones.

The province has committed new funding for 35 additional presentations of the CFSEU’s End Gang Life presentation to school students in the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island. The sessions aim to demystify the tactics of gang recruiters and better equip kids to resist them. They’re led by former gang member Jordan Buna, who served time in jail before becoming a spokesman for the End Gang Life program. “Even though I was lucky and got out, being part of a gang was a death sentence for most of the people I knew. That is the reality of gang life,” Buna said. “It robbed me of so many opportunities and exposed me to horrifying scenes that I will never forget.”

Some SkyTrain riders fail to tap out, overpay â&#x2013;ź TRANSLINK FORGIVES $7,000 IN COMPASS CARD CHARGES JEFF NAGEL

Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Bryce Williams outside Fortis BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tilbury LNG expansion project in Delta. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposing a new LNG export plant in partnership with Fortis on TFN land. JEFF NAGEL

â&#x2013;ś PROJECT WOULD REQUIRE A 10-KM EXTENSION OF FORTIS BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DELTA PIPELINE from page 3

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the fence. I recognize all the benefits. There are some negative impacts to think about as well.â&#x20AC;? It would be the third LNG export proposal in the Lower Mainland in addition to the Woodfibre LNG plant proposed near Squamish and the Wespac LNG export terminal in Delta, which would ship out LNG produced next door at Fortis BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-running Tilbury plant. The project would occupy 32 hectares of treaty land the TFN have already zoned for industry and would likely otherwise be developed as warehousing. Five to six LNG carriers would dock at Deltaport to load LNG from the TFN plant, in contrast to the Wespac jetty proposal, which would see LNG carriers ply the lower Fraser River. The plant would compress and supercool three to five million tonnes of natural gas per year to liquid form for export. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a quarter the size of the $11-billion Petronas LNG proposal near Prince Rupert but larger than the $1.7-billion Woodfibre proposal. Unlike most other LNG proposals in B.C., the TFN plant would use electric drive compression instead of burning natural gas to power the process. The project would require a 10-kilometre extension of Fortis BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pipeline in Delta. If all three projects currently proposed in the region advanced, Fortis BC officials say there would have to be capacity upgrades to the main natural gas pipelines that run to the Lower Mainland from northeastern B.C.

TFN officials said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to say what proportion equity stake the first nation would get in the project, or what direct benefits might flow to members. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed as a joint venture that includes Fortis BC LNG Development Inc., Mitsui and Nexterra, and could be in operation as early as 2022, subject to environmental approvals and a go-forward business decision. The announcement came Monday at Fortis BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LNG plant at Tilbury, which is in the midst of a $400-million expansion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only operating LNG facility in B.C. and company officials said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve signed $50 million in local contracts since ground was broken a year ago. Much of the expanded LNG supply would be available for local use in B.C., such as in buses and ferries, as well as industry. TFN joint ventures are among the businesses benefitting from the Fortis Tilbury expansion. â&#x2013;ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the Not all of the 20 LNG projects proposed in fence.

TransLink is cautioning users of its new Compass card that they must remember to tap out as they exit SkyTrain stations or they could be charged for more zones than they travelled. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a particular problem for regular transit users who load a onezone monthly pass on their Compass card. If they take a short hop on SkyTrain within Vancouver or Surrey and fail to tap out, the system assumes they rode to the far end of the line and charges them the maximum three-zone fare. If they were riding on a one- or two-zone monthly pass, that means an AddFare surcharge is debited from their account. TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Compass card call centre saw a spike in complaints last week about overcharges, which resulted in nearly 3,000 account adjustments worth more than $7,000 for people who failed to tap off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a behavioural change,â&#x20AC;? TransLink spokesperson Jennifer Morland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not making that call again, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning how the system works â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â that they need to tap in and tap out.â&#x20AC;? This month marks the first time large numbers of Compass holders have begun using the cards with monthly passes loaded â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â 28,000 of them now have November passes on their cards. In the past, holders of paper monthly passes typically kept them in their wallets and only had to pull them out to board buses, not SkyTrain. Compass card users who load money directly into their account as â&#x20AC;&#x153;stored valueâ&#x20AC;? can also end up paying more than they should if they travel just one or two zones and fail to tap out. TransLink eliminated the tap-out requirement on the bus system, declaring all bus travel to cost just one zone, but the zone charge system remains in force for the rapid transit lines, SeaBus and West Coast Express. The challenge for SkyTrain riders is expected to be temporary as TransLink intends to gradually close more and more of the TransLink is reminding Compass station fare gates. customers they need to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tap out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So far one gate is closed at each station and the rest are left open but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected that all the gates will be closed off some time in the new year, and then passengers will have to tap out in order to exit the turnstiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen that there are more customers using Compass weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look more at closing the fare gates,â&#x20AC;? Morland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about getting it right for our customers, giving them the time to learn it, and not as much around hard dates.â&#x20AC;? The full Compass rollout to most transit users began last month. University students on U-Passes, West Coast Express riders and other special passholders had previously switched to Compass. Morland said about 300,000 Compass cards are now activated and about 100,000 unique cards are now in use on the system each day. TransLink expects that number to climb to 500,000 eventually. Prepaid paper FareSaver tickets are also to be phased out as the fare gates are fully activated.

Residents of a quiet South Surrey neighborhood say they’re shocked no one was killed in a collision Monday that ended with two vehicles mangled in a ditch, one of them upside-down. “I can’t believe they walked away from that car,” Lynn Brandt said as she surveyed the aftermath. Emergency crews raced to the 13600-block of 28 Avenue around noon Monday. According to one witness, the crash occurred when an Audi westbound on 28 Avenue struck a Lexus that was turning right off of 136 Street to head west on 28 Avenue. “She was turning and he just absolutely clipped her,” said the woman, who did not want

Possible abduction Two pedestrians struck being investigated ▶ POLICE SEEKING WITNESSES OF EVENT LAST THURSDAY EVENING BLACK PRESS

Surrey RCMP are investigating a possible abduction attempt involving a six-year-old boy in Cloverdale Thursday. Investigators are appealing for witnesses regarding the “report of suspicious circumstance” that took place in the 6100-block of 194A Street Nov. 12, at approximately 5:30 p.m.

Information about a two-tone, older-model Dodge pick-up truck, believed to be occupied by two males, is being sought, according to a news release issued Sunday morning. Sgt. Paul Hayes said Monday that details about the incident are limited, and investigators are “tr ying to cover all the bases that we can,” to determine what took place. “The way that this was reported to us, it makes us believe there may have been an abduction

attempt, however we can’t confirm,” Hayes said. “That’s why we are trying to get anyone who may have been in the area to let us know if they saw anything of a suspicious nature, or specifically this vehicle.” Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

A pedestrian was struck and killed in Surrey Saturday night. Surrey RCMP say the 45-year-old man was attempting to cross 128 Street south of 96 Avenue at about 9 p.m. Nov. 14 when he was hit by a vehicle. Police say it does not

appear he was using a marked crosswalk. The male driver remained on scene and police say excessive speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the collision. Charges have not been laid as the investigation continues. Police say it appears to be a tragic case of a person crossing the street in an unmarked area, wearing dark clothing on a dark, rainy night. On Thursday Nov. 12 at approximately 6 p.m., the RCMP’s Deas Island Traffic Services

was called to the scene of a pedestrian struck on the on-ramp to Highway 91 northbound at Cliveden Avenue in Delta. The collision occurred during a severe storm that was hammering parts of the province. The roads were slippery and due to the heavy rain and darkness, and visibility was poor. “The contributing factors are still being investigated and police are seeking witnesses to assist in determining the cause of this tragic incident,” said Cpl.

Ronda McEwen of B.C. RCMP Traffic Services. The pedestrian was struck by a 2014 Chevrolet Trax driven by a 47-year-old man from Burnaby. The driver remained on the scene and is cooperating with police. Impaired driving is not a factor. The pedestrian, a 23-year-old man from Delta, was transported to hospital with severe head injuries. Anyone with information is asked to call Deas Island Traffic Services at 778-2902400 and reference file #2015-4262.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesd ay November 18 2015

Peace is needed more than ever It was with great sadness that we learned of the violence and death that was wrought on the people of Paris last week. We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpetrators and bewildered at the motivations. Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the murder of the innocent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace. Were France’s streets safe, or was it an illusion? If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada? If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terrorists win? The problem is, it’s not as simple as winning and losing, or good versus evil, or

us versus them. It’s hard to fathom, behind the wanton terror, but the other side believes its cause is right and just, too. And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempting to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there? It’s not wholly wrong to wage war. Indeed, it would be wrong to meekly condone Islamic State’s violence and human rights atrocities. Primarily, though, Canada must be a voice for peace in the world. It may be that in this instance, we will need to fight for peace, but if we must fight, it should be done

RAESIDE

with the belief that there exists a better way. The shootings and the bombings that terrorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spinning into a descent toward war and violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, as the world revolves, humanity continues to evolve toward a more peaceful existence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly. Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so. World peace depends on it.

Green shift returns, goes global BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change. As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond. Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved. Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government. “The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment

groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.” It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress. We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated. Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well. One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices. China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a worldwide glut of oil and gas.

▼ CANADA’S MULTICULTURALISM A LIVING EXAMPLE OF PEACE AND FREEDOM Canada takes pride as a country made up of a cultural mosaic. Living in Canada, people from all walks of life are very fortunate to be living in this multiculturally diverse country. Like every year, Remembrance Day falls on the eleventh day of the month. This year, Diwali, which many may know is one of the most important religious festivals of the year for Sikhs, Hindus and Jains across the world, fell on one of the most solemn occasions of the year – Remembrance Day. The Diwali festival date changes according to the lunar calendar every year. Growing up following the Sikh religion, I have been celebrating Diwali for as long as I can remember. Considering the significance of both occasions, I am extremely thankful to be born and raised in such an accepting and diverse country that values the importance of religion and diversity. Fireworks are a major part of celebrating Diwali since it is the celebration of lights. However, many Sikh and Hindu festival organizers in the Lower Mainland were reluctant to celebrate this occasion in such a manner in respect for Remembrance Day. Despite this, they were still given permission to use fireworks. I pay my respect and gratitude to the fallen soldiers who died in the line of duty. Canada’s efforts have always been driven by the commitment to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty for these very beliefs. Their sacrifices have not gone in vain. Rather, Canada’s multiculturalism is a living example of their dream of peace and freedom and the future they believed in. Thank you, Canada. Navi Dosanjh, Surrey

▼ 11 A.M. ON NOV. 11 IS NOT THE TIME FOR FOOTBALL I was watching the national Remembrance Day services from Ottawa and got a glimpse of the Vancouver Canucks players/coaching staff in attendance. Alex Burrows said there was no question the team would partake to show their respect. Class act, Vancouver Canucks. Then I, along with my family, attended Remembrance Day services at the Royal Canadian Legion, Whalley Branch #229 in Surrey at 135 Street and 106 Avenue. Just as the crowd was observing two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., you could hear a man shouting. It was from the B.C. Lions’ practice facility located across the street from the legion. We could clearly see the Lions’ helmets and jerseys, then “hut, hut, hut, one” and more shouting from a man’s voice. Some of the crowd turned to see where the sound was coming from. We were shocked. The Lions said on Twitter they observed two minutes of silence at 11:11 a.m. The B.C. Lions had choices – do not have a practice that day, practice starts at 12 noon, or at the 11th hour (not 11:11 a.m.), stop and observe a moment of silence to show respect for the men and women who have fought to keep Canada strong and free. Or they could have crossed the street. Absolutely disgraceful. Sylvia Fisher, Surrey

A letter writer argues that pay parking at Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre (above) and Surrey Memorial Hospital is prohibitively expensive for patients and their families. EVAN SEAL

People don’t choose to be sick ▼ WHY THE RELUCTANCE FOR FREE PARKING AROUND HOSPITALS? No hospital can stay in business if people stop getting sick or injured. All of the health care providers – including doctors, nurses, lab technicians and support staff – would be out of work. There would be a huge stampede towards Service Canada to apply for unemployment benefits. However, in spite of the infinite discoveries of science and advanced technology, we have not yet discovered the miracle cure to make humans stay healthy from birth to death. Hospitals know that. Hospital foundations know that. And health authorities know that. Until that miracle cure is discovered, people will continue to get sick and hospitals will be full of patients. There will be no shortage of sick people going in and out of hospitals. Keeping this in mind, health

authorities have come up with an additional income stream in the name of pay parking, though some health authorities gouge more than others. It first started with very low and nominal rates, but eventually as it gained traction and went unnoticed by the public, pay parking costs sky-rocketed. I will give some examples that may help better illustrate this issue. The pay parking rate at Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, for the first half hour, is $4.25, and each additional hour is $3.50 – to a maximum of $18.75 for 12 hours. So, if one has to be there for 31 minutes, it will cost $4.25 + $3.50 = $7.75. You will pay this amount from 31 minutes to 90 minutes. If you are one minute over, to 91 minutes, then one will pay $7.75 + $3.50 = $11.25. In a nutshell, from 91 minutes to two-and-half hours will cost $11.25. If the average stay is two hours, then the cost will be $11.25. This is a very expensive prop-

osition for a patient who is in need of care. The added stress of the meter running out and extra time being needed does not ease the situation. Now compare Surrey to other regional hospitals, for example, around Mt. St. Joseph Hospital in Vancouver, there is free unlimited parking on 15th Avenue and Prince Edward Street just beside the hospital. Even in the parking lot the rate is $1.75 each half hour to a maximum of $8.25 for 12 hours. Around Vancouver General Hospital, there is plenty of twohour parking spots available on 13th and 14th Avenues and Willow Street, just to name a few. After 6 p.m. there is free parking on 12th Avenue and other streets as well. This option is not available around Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. Victoria General Hospital’s pay parking rate is $2.75 per two hours compared to more than $11 at Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery

Centre in Surrey. And Delta Hospital has free parking in the hospital parking lot as well as plenty of free parking on the adjacent streets. The City of Surrey has eliminated available free parking on streets around both Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. Instead of free parking there is enforced metered parking all around or no parking signs on the adjacent streets. Why is the City of Surrey so reluctant to allow the option of free, limited parking like Vancouver has, at least on some of the side streets? This could easily be done if the city has the desire to take this issue sincerely and seriously. Expensive pay parking adds insult to injury for patients and their families. One does not get sick by choice. This is not the best time to gouge the patients and their families through forced pay parking, whether it is by the Fraser Health Authority or the City of Surrey.

Guilty pleas in ‘surgical mask bandit’ heists ▶ WHITE ROCK’S TRAVIS JENSEN-PICKFORD ARRESTED IN 2013 FOR ATM ROBBERIES TRACY HOLMES

A White Rock man arrested more than two years ago in connection with a string of ATM robberies that had police describing the perpetrator as the “surgical mask bandit” has pleaded guilty to the crimes. The Criminal Justice Branch confirmed Friday that Travis Jensen-Pickford entered the plea on 12 counts of robbery

and one count of “using an imitation firearm in the course of committing indictable offenses” during an appearance Nov. 10 in Surrey Provincial Court. “The offenses are alleged to have occurred on various dates in the time period from May 12 to June 15, 2013,” branch spokesman Neil MacKenzie said. All but two of the robberies occurred on the Semiahmoo Peninsula; one occurred in Newton and another near 186 Street and Fraser Highway. In each instance, a victim was approached by a masked man while withdrawing money from

an ATM during non-banking hours. Jensen-Pickford was arrested at a White Rock residence on June 15, 2013 and police announced 36 charges: 12 counts of robbery with a weapon, 12 counts of using an imitation firearm in commission of an offence and 12 counts of disguise with intent The following month, he elected to be tried on the charges by a Supreme Court judge and jury. Following last week’s guilty pleas, the proceedings were adjourned until March 31 for preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Gangster found not guilty of attempted murder in 2009 Surrey shooting ▶ ARAM ALI INSTEAD CONVICTED OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT FOR INCIDENT OUTSIDE T-BARZ NIGHT CLUB SHEILA REYNOLDS

A United Nations gang associate has been convicted of aggravated assault and acquitted of the more serious charge of attempted murder in connection to a shooting outside a Surrey strip club nearly seven years ago. According to an Oct. 16 B.C. Supreme Court decision posted online recently, the accused, Aram Ali, was in a

Lincoln Navigator with United Nations gang leader Barzan Tilli-Choli outside T-Barz night club on Feb. 15, 2009. As a Range Rover carrying gang rival Tyler Willock and three others left the club, Ali opened fire from the Lincoln, firing eight shots from his semi-automatic pistol – four of which went through the target vehicle’s front window. Willock, who the Crown claimed was the intended target, was not hit, but the driver (who can’t be identified due to a publication ban) was struck in the shoulder and his ear was grazed. Tilli-Choli and Ali sped back to Vancouver, Ali throwing the pistol out of the

window not far from the scene. At trial, Ali did not deny shooting the gun, but insisted he never meant to hurt anyone. While the Crown contended Ali intended to kill, Ali testified he only fired his gun to scare off the person he believed to be driving the Range Rover. The Crown pointed to an intercepted conversation Ali had with Tilli-Choli, as well as testimony from Ali’s former girlfriend – both of which were rejected by Justice Heather Holmes as unreliable. She concluded there was insufficient evidence Ali aimed to kill someone that night, but said it was clear he intended to cause injury. “Nothing in the

evidence, including Mr. Ali’s explanation, which I have rejected, raises a reasonable doubt that he intended his shots to hit a person,” wrote Holmes in her decision. “Although the evidence is not sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Ali intended, specifically, to kill, there can be no doubt that he intended to wound.” In addition to aggravated assault, the judge also found Ali guilty of discharging a firearm with intent to wound. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 4 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. Tilli-Choli is already in prison after pleading guilty in 2013 to conspiring to murder the Bacon brothers.

Last week, Mounties received several complaints of mail theft throughout Surrey involving a white Range Rover. Surrey RCMP began an extensive investigation on Nov. 5 and located a vehicle matching that description in the area of 192 Street and 54 Avenue.

‘No fixing what I did,’ says Surrey killer sentence, noting a trial would have been harder on Bennett’s family – and would likely not have ended in a conviction. “The witnesses are, themselves, deeply troubled people,” Merrigan said, referring to testimony heard during a preliminary inquiry. “There was rich fodder for the defence to hopefully plant the seed of doubt at a jury trial… and yet my client has not availed himself to the opportunity of a trial.” According to Merrigan, Bennett was not targeted to die, and the extent of his client’s role in planning the crime remains unclear. In an agreed statement of facts, the court heard that Bennett was living with his common-law spouse at the time, and that the house was a focal point for illicit drugs. Prosecutor Suzanne Elliott said Chad had made two visits to the home for such transactions prior to the night Bennett died. On the second, he had been ejected “at the request of Mr. Bennett.” On the night Bennett was killed, Chad returned at around 11 p.m. with two men and a loaded semi-automatic rifle.

▶ JAMES CHAD TO BE SENTENCED IN THE MURDER OF COREY BENNETT IN 2013 TRACY HOLMES

Two years after the death of Surrey’s Corey Bennett, the man responsible described the act as something he still can’t make sense of, and can never fix. “I fully am disgusted in myself,” Donald James Chad Jr. told Judge James Jardine during his sentencing hearing last Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court. “I took someone’s dad, someone’s brother. Parents had to bury their son because of me. There is no fixing what I did.” Chad, 32, was one of two men arrested in connection with the Nov. 9, 2013 shooting death of 44-year-old Bennett at a home in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. Initially facing trial for murder, Chad pleaded guilty in August to manslaughter. On Nov. 10, defence counsel Kelly Merrigan argued Chad’s guilty plea should be a mitigating factor in determining

Bennett was asleep downstairs and Chad pushed past a woman who had come to buy drugs. He jumped on the bed, shouting and “poking Bennett with the rifle.” The gun went off during a struggle, Elliott said. Chad – who was under court order to not possess firearms – was arrested Nov. 22 and had large amounts of Canadian and Chinese currency and a prohibited .45-calibre Webley revolver, the court heard. Elliott noted that at that time, Chad already had “a lengthy and significant related record.” The lawyers agreed a 10-year sentence would be fitting. In reserving his decision, scheduled for Nov. 27, the judge said he needed time to weigh the submissions, which included details of Chad’s “chaotic childhood” with drugand alcohol-addicted parents, and victim-impact statements from four of Bennett’s family members. Carl Bennett, a South Surrey resident, said in a written statement that his son’s death “haunts me.” Bennett’s sister, Jamie England, told the court she lives

Victim Corey Bennett was shot on Nov. 9, 2013 at a home in South Surrey. with the repercussions of her brother’s death every day; fearing for his children and grandchildren and wondering “if he knew how much I loved him.” His uncle, Wayne Bennett, described his optimism that his nephew would turn his life around. “I have always believed that no matter how broken a life becomes, there is always a hope for rehabilitation,” he said. “Unfor-

tunately for Corey, that hope has been tragically snatched away.” Merrigan said that while the crime cannot be understated, there is hope for his client, whose struggles are rooted in drug addiction. “Given a different start in life, I think he would’ve done very well,” Merrigan said, noting Chad has been working to advance his education in custody and remains hopeful he will be out of jail in time for his son’s graduation. In addressing the court, an emotional Chad said he wished he could undo what happened, but “I don’t dare ask forgiveness. “I know I’m incapable of providing his family with closure, however, I don’t want my silence to prevent them from attaining any at all.” Outside court, Chad’s mother expressed regret for her son’s childhood, and hope for his future. “I was addicted to pills and I wasn’t always there for him,” Yvonne Kelly said. “Sorry I didn’t do a good enough job to raise him. “He’s not a hopeless case, and he’s not a violent person.” – With files from Alex Browne

Future uncertain for Season of Giving Surrey retreat centre Toy Drive â&#x2013;ś OPERATIONS AT ROSEMARY HEIGHTS FACILITY TO END IN DECEMBER TRACY HOLMES

A Roman Catholic retreat centre that has been quietly operating in South Surrey for nearly 40 years is closing its doors. Officials with the Archdiocese of Vancouver confirmed last week that the Rosemary Heights Retreat Centre, at 3690 152 St., will cease operations at the end of December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been brutal,â&#x20AC;? communications director Paul Schratz said, of coming to the conclusion, which was shared with the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26 staff members early last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very difficult decision to make.â&#x20AC;? What this means for the site moving forward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is located

on a prime piece of real estate overlooking the Nicomekl River â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remains to be seen. While one employee expressed concern it could be sold and developed, Schratz said no decisions on its future have been made. A statement issued last week says only that the Archdiocese â&#x20AC;&#x153;hopes to realize the best value possible for the Rosemary Heights property.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It remains committed to providing a retreat centre and is looking at affordable alternatives. An announcement will be made as soon as any development is finalized.â&#x20AC;? The site has been operating as a retreat since 1976, but Schratz said its roots date back to the 1960s, when the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd built a facility for girls and women with personal and behavioural problems.

Cottages and a school for girls came next, followed by a name change to Rosemary Heights in 1972, and the opening of one of the cottages for boys a year later. After funding and staffing changes resulted in that program closing in 1976, the Good Shepherd Sisters were asked to open the doors as a retreat centre serving the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Schratz said that continued for nearly 20 years, with the Sisters hosting groups for prayer and hospitality, as well as individuals, especially woman seeking a short-term place of respite and healing during crisis. In 1992, the centre was handed over to the Archdiocese, which has owned and operated it since then. Schratz said the Archdiocese has been trying â&#x20AC;&#x153;for some timeâ&#x20AC;? to keep the centre operating, but declining

interest in retreats has made the task financially â&#x20AC;&#x153;impossible.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried everything we could think of to try to increase attendance,â&#x20AC;? he said. While the hope is to continue offering retreats, how to do that has not yet been determined, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to end things,â&#x20AC;? Schratz said. While retreat centre staff did not want to speak publicly, the employee who contacted the newspaper said its closure is â&#x20AC;&#x153;really sad,â&#x20AC;? and will be a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a place of people coming and looking for being with Christ and in a peaceful environment,â&#x20AC;? the employee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love the place. Everything they do, they do with love for the people.â&#x20AC;? The staffer said word of the pending closure took everyone by surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard it, I cried.â&#x20AC;?

The Kitsilano base was closed in 2013 – vessels and staff were shifted to Richmond – but pressure from B.C. politicians to reopen it intensified after a slow response earlier this year to a spill of fuel oil from a freighter in English Bay. Trudeau released his mandate letters outlining the priorities for each new federal cabinet minister Friday. Those marching orders spell out various reforms to Conservative policies, as well as repeals or amendments to contentious legislation like Bill C-51 and the Fair Elections Act. Details in the mandates are sparse, however, and for the most part they contain no specific deadlines. The Liberal promise of admitting 25,000 Syrian refugees by the

end of the year has shifted to “in the coming months.” Bolstered environmental protections are pledged, in line with Liberal campaign promises. Tootoo is to “act on recommendations of the Cohen Commission on restoring sockeye salmon stocks in the Fraser River” and review changes to fishery legislation to “restore lost protections and incorporate modern safeguards.” He’s also supposed to “use scientific evidence and the precautionary principle, and take into account climate change, when making decisions affecting fish stocks and ecosystem management.” Natural Resource Minister James Carr gets no specific instructions related to the Northern Gateway or Trans Mountain pipeline proposals. But Trudeau directs him to modernize the National Energy Board and to immediately review and reform environmental assessment processes to regain public trust. Northern Gateway is expected to be dead under the Trudeau Liberals and one letter orders the formalization of a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic off B.C.’s north

Justin Trudeau coast. Health Minister Jane Philpott’s priorities from the PM include introducing plain packaging requirements for cigarettes and to work with other ministers toward the legalization and regulation of marijuana. On electoral reform, the minister for democratic institutions is to convene a special committee to consult on options that include preferential ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting and online voting. The mandate letters are peppered with references to the need for science-based decisions. Each minister is also told of the need for meaningful engagement with the Opposition, of constructive dialogue with Canadians and stakeholders including business

and labour, and with journalists. Federal scientists have this month been advised they can speak freely with the media about their research without being vetted and often censored by government communications staff. Other changes that have already emerged since the Liberal majority election win on Oct. 19 include a halt by Canada Post on its rollout of community mail boxes. The Cohen inquiry in response to the 2009 collapse of the Fraser sockeye run recommended the federal government alter DFO’s role on aquaculture so it is not simultaneously promoting and regulating salmon farms. It also recommended salmon farms along the Johnstone Strait migration route be shut down by 2020 unless it can be scientifically proven that the risk to wild salmon from aquaculture is minimal. Craig Orr, conservation adviser for Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said he wants to see what the Liberals actually deliver, but added hopes are high. “Many of us feel like we’ve been in a deep dark trench for the last 10 years on environmental protection.”

Trudeau to talk climate with provincial leaders ▶ PRIME MINISTER CALLS FOR MEETING IN OTTAWA TOM FLETCHER

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a meeting with premiers in Ottawa to update the country’s position on greenhouse gas reductions before they jet to Paris for the latest United Nations climate summit in early December. “I’m pleased to be able to announce that I will be meeting with the premiers in a First Ministers’ meeting on Nov. 23,” Trudeau told reporters after his first cabinet meeting in Ottawa Thursday. “We are having a climate briefing by top climate sci-

entists for the first ministers and my own cabinet, to be followed by a working dinner with the premiers, to exactly discuss the kind of strong and cohesive message we will be delivering as Canadians in Paris at the very important COP21 conference.” Canada’s current target is to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent by 2030. B.C. has a more aggressive target of reducing emissions 33 per cent by 2020, set by former premier Gordon Campbell. Premier Christy Clark has so far continued Campbell’s climate policy, with the carbon tax on fuels remaining at the same level as when she took office. Clark has promised to release her government’s

“Climate 2.0” plan before she joins the Canadian delegation in Paris. A new B.C. policy limiting emission “intensity” for liquefied natural gas production, rather than a set limit, has raised questions about how an LNG industry can be developed without pushing overall emissions up. Trudeau has signalled that he wants more greenhouse gas reduction, but that the provinces should use their preferred approaches rather than face an imposed national strategy. The day after his majority government was elected Oct. 19, Trudeau said he is looking forward to changing Canada’s reputation as a “less than enthusiastic actor” on climate policy.

Local talent was at the forefront at the CIS women’s Soccer Championship tournament last weekend at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The host UBC Thunderbirds, with seven players from Surrey/Delta, were up against the Trinity Western University (TWU) Spartans in the championship game of the eight-team tournament. Three Spartans are from Surrey, one is from North Delta. The Thunderbirds prevailed 3-0 in Sunday night’s final. Midfielder Taylor Shannik of North Delta scored the game’s final goal, and was named a tournament all-star. Surrey’s Jasmin Dhanda of UBC received the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award. Both teams went into the match with five championships in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), seeking a record-setting sixth national title. UBC, which hasn’t been in the national champion-

ship tournament since 2010, advanced to the semifinal round with a 1-0 win over the Calgary Dinos in a quarterfinal match Thursday afternoon, getting the winning goal in the 89th minute. The T-Birds then blanked the Sherbrooke Vert et Or 2-0 in Saturday’s semifinal round. Dhanda set up Amrit Berar for the winning goal in the 21st minute, then scored an insurance tally 16 minutes later. The Spartans, seeded fifth, began their tournament with a 2-0 victory over the Cape Breton Capers. Rachel Hutchinson of Cloverdale assisted on the winning goal by Jenaya Robinson of North Delta just six minutes into the game. The Spartans then survived an 11-player shootout decision Saturday evening over the Laval Rouge et Or, after the two sides played to a 1-1 draw. Just prior to the tournament, the CIS announced its award winners for the 2015 season. Hutchinson was named the CIS Rookie of the Year after she finished the season tied for fourth in Canada West scoring with 11 points, including five goals. Playing at both midfield and forward, she registered a hat trick in an 18-minute span in a 3-0 win over the continued on page 42

The weekend began with KPU’s women’s team tipping off against the Mariners, and falling 77-44. The Eagles stayed close to VIU for 20 minutes, trailing 17-14 after one quarter and 30-27 at halftime. But the Mariners put up 30 points in the third period, stretching their advantage to 23 points. Cassie Micona led the Eagles with 11 points, with Cyrena Timmins adding nine points and eight rebounds. KPU fell behind early against the Chargers, trailing by eight points after one quarter and by 15 at the half. Christina Brown paced the Eagles scoring with 19 points, a total that included four buckets from behind the three-point line. Timmins netted 11 points to go with six rebounds.

Loss total continues to climb for Eagles â&#x2013;ś LOSING STREAK EXTENDS TO 11 FOR BC HOCKEY LEAGUE TEAM NICK GREENIZAN

The losses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the injuries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; continue to add up for the Surrey Eagles. The struggling BC Hockey League club lost three more games last week, extending their losing skid to 11. To make matters worse, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attempted to end their losing slide with a third of the regular roster on the injured list; the team played without seven regulars on the weekend, including key forwards John Wesley, Tyler Andrews, Donovan Ott and Darren Hards, as well as goaltender Justin LaForest, who has played just eight games this season and likely remains out until mid-December. On Wednesday afternoon, the Eagles fell 4-1 on home ice to the Chilliwack Chiefs, and Friday night lost a rematch, also at South Surrey Arena, 7-0. Surrey nearly broke out of their slump Sunday afternoon against the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings, but lost 4-2 after an empty-net goal from the visitors iced what had been a one-goal game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been decimated with injuries,â&#x20AC;? said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just the point of the season weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everybody goes through it at some point, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in it now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

not a team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built on excuses. We just need to go out and get a win.â&#x20AC;? Neufeld admitted to the difficulties of trying to climb out of a hole with a lineup chalk full of younger, affiliate players, but suggested it was a chance for those players to step up and fill the void. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a coach, you draw upon the fact that there are opportunities for different guys, and you make sure the guys in the room know they have a chance to show theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of success.â&#x20AC;? With the current losing streak approaching the one-month mark â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last win

came Oct. 20 against the Langley Rivermen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Neufeld knows it is getting closer and closer to last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record slide, which hit 16 games in a row without a win. But that said, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drawing many parallels between the two situations, and was optimistic his current club would get into the win column soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The group that we have, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only four guys from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the rest didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a new group, with new, different challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to play with so many injuries (at once) last year, so this is dif-

ferent. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing good hockey against good teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of one-goal games.â&#x20AC;? Neufeld said the one-goal losses of late â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically against top clubs like Salmon Arm and Vernon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been difficult, at times, for his young squad to stomach, but in the end, are no different than losing by any other number. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be frustrated when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a game right to the end and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the win, and maybe emotionally, it takes more out of you, but losing is losing. Nobody likes it and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard to find a win,â&#x20AC;? he said.

After a busy few weeks on the ice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the team has played eight games since Oct. 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â Surrey will get something of a breather this week, with just one game on tap for this weekend, a Sunday afternoon home game against the Wenatchee Wild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice, quiet week â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â a chance to get healthy and have some good practice time,â&#x20AC;? Neufeld said.

A sweep of the Vancouver Chiefs – and a little help from the Cariboo Cougars – has pushed the Valley West Hawks into a three-way tie for first place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML) standings. Valley West topped the Chiefs 3-2 Saturday at the Langley Events Centre and 6-4 Sunday in Coquitlam, improving their record to 11-4-1 (win-loss-tie), the same record as the Vancouver Giants. The Giants lost one game and tied the other in Prince George against the Cougars, a result that left the Giants and Cougars with 23 points, the same total as the Hawks. The three co-leaders are three points up on the South Island Royals. Valley West is striving for at least a second place finish, which would give them home ice advantage through the first two rounds of the playoffs. “By virtue of tie breakers, we officially sit second behind the Giants,” noted Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, adding that “next week will be an important weekend for us. We play the Royals, who are nipping at our heels, and we have a chance to put some separation between us, as well

as the Cougars, who now have their bye weekend.” After 10 minutes of play Saturday, the Hawks seemed headed towards their fifth loss in seven games. “Saturday was a weird game. Our first 10 minutes of the game were as bad as any I’ve seen us play all year,” said Leung. “The Chiefs had us on our heels and out-shot us 10-4. We also found ourselves in early penalty trouble being whistled for four first-period minors.”

▶ “You could see the other team become unhinged and deflated.” JESSIE LEUNG

Goalie Nic Tallarico was outstanding in the first period, keeping the Chiefs off the scoreboard while the Hawks went in front when Justyn Gurney tallied 12 minutes into the game. Josh Bruce added a shorthanded goal with 22 seconds left for a 2-0 Hawks lead after two periods. The Chiefs struck for two goals late in the second period to tie the score 2-2 going into the final 20 minutes. Gurney got the winner with nine minutes remaining after taking a pass from Justin De Vos.

Special teams powered the Hawks to the win Sunday, as Valley West tallied five times with the man advantage and overcame a 4-2 deficit late in the game. Christian Bosa of the Hawks netted the only goal of the first period, then the Chiefs pulled even at 1-1 after 40 minutes and went up 3-1 six minutes into the third period. Ilijah Colina got one back for Valley West before the Chiefs regained the two-goal advantage. The home team took four minor penalties over the final seven minutes of play, and the Hawks took full advantage, scoring on each powerplay. Colina tallied his second off the game with six minutes to go, Bosa tied the game with three minutes remaining, and Ben Evanish scored winning and insurance goals over the final two minutes. Colina assisted on four goals, finishing the game with six points. “You could feel the momentum swing our way,” said Leung. “You could see the other team become unhinged and deflated.” Q Evanish continues to lead the MML in goal scoring with 20 in 15 games played. He ranks third in scoring with 28 points, one back of Matt Kowalski of the Okanagan Rockets and Josh Latta of the Giants. Luka Burzan of the Hawks is tied with Latta for the leaguelead in assists with 20.

For 57 minutes of Friday’s game at the Pacific Coliseum, the Vancouver Giants seemed headed for a 10th consecutive game

CJ RELKE/VANCOUVER GIANTS minutes of play, but Surrey’s Matt Barberis tallied his third goal of the year on the powerplay three minutes before the end of the first period to tie the score 1-1. Kamloops went ahead 2-1 late in the second period, then scored while shorthanded with 15 minutes remaining in the game for a 3-1 lead. The Giants gambled, and pulled netminder Daniel Wapple with three minutes to go, and seconds later, Ronning gave the Giants hope when he cut the difference to one goal

with 2:21 remaining. Apple was on the bench again when Ronning ripped a shot into the Blazers goal with nine seconds remaining, forcing overtime. Ronning then fed Cox for the winning goal on a two-on-one rush in overtime. It was the first goal for Cox since he was acquired from the Medicine Hat Tigers two weeks ago. The Blazers outshot Vancouver 41-32, but the Giants received solid goaltending from Wapple, who made 38 saves for the win. The Giants had a strong start to the

game Saturday, leading 2-0 midway through the first period. But Portland dominated the rest of the way, cruising to a two-goal win. Defencemen Brennan Menell and Barberis scored powerplay goals to give the Giants the early lead, but goals 92 seconds apart pulled the Winterhawks even after 20 minutes. Portland went up 4-2 in the second period before Ronning scored to get the home team to within one. The Winterhawks held the Giants to just eight shots on goal in the

third period, adding to their lead with five minutes to play. The Giants are now 5-11-2-2 (win-lossovertime loss-shootout loss) and in the Western Conference basement. They were at home last night (Tuesday) against the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Eastern Conference. They host Cloverdale native Tyler Soy and the Victoria Royals Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Pacific Coliseum before traveling to the Okanagan for a clash Saturday night with the Kelowna Rockets.

Eagles content with fifth ▶ KPU MEN’S SOCCER TEAM WINS TWO OF FOUR GAMES AT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT RICK KUPCHUK

A game away from the gold medal match at one point, the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles eventually placed fifth at the eight-team Canadian Colleges Athletic Association men’s soccer championships last week in Saint-Lambert, Quebec. The Eagles sandwiched two wins around a pair of losses, and while a higher finish was within reach, were satisfied with the result at their first-ever appearance at a national tournament. “Fifth place in Canada is nothing to be shy about,” said KPU head coach Srdjan Djekanovic. “It was an amazing

experience these student-athletes will never forget.” One of the three wild-card teams in the tournament and seeded seventh in the knockout competition, the Eagles upset the Alberta champion Keyano Huskies of Fort McMurray 2-1 in a quarterfinal match last Wednesday evening. Nawaf Binsaleh scored on a penalty shot in the seventh minute, then Mateo Serka scored the winner in the 79th minute. KPU then lost a semifinal match 5-1 to the B.C. champion Capilano Blues on Thursday in a rematch of the PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) final, also won by Capilano. Binsaleh netted his second goal of the tournament against the Blues. KPU dropped a 2-0 decision to the host Champlain Cavaliers on Friday. Playing Keyano once again Saturday morning,

the Eagles closed out their tournament with a 1-0 victory on a goal by Ryan Arthur. Binsaleh was named to the tournament all-star team. “I am proud and honoured to have had an opportunity to coach these student-athletes,” said Djekanovic, who coached a team with 15 first-year players on the roster, the most in the national tournament. “I took over a failing program in 2013, and we have taken it to the point where nationally we are no t only recognized for being a top soccer program in the country, but also one of the most successful academically.” The Eagles were 6-5-4 (winloss-tied) in PACWEST league play, placing fourth in the regular season. They upset the first-place Douglas College Royals 3-2 in overtime in a semifinal game, before losing the championship game 2-0 to Capilano.

Surrey developer J.S. Randhawa opened his pocket book wide by making a $100,000 donation towards getting a unique machine for diagnosing serious brain conditions in children as well as other serious medical conditions. The donation is part of the fundraising for ImageTech, headed by Dr. Ryan D’Arcy, which is part of Surrey Innovation Boulevard. Randhawa said the machine that ImageTech is getting is not available in this region and is crucial for the diagnosis of many diseases, especially devastating brain conditions including seizures in young children . “I just had to get behind this initiative because it’s being done in Surrey and this is where we live and our community is,” Randhawa said. “I’m urging my fellow business people to donate for this worthy project. I’m proud of the work Dr. D’Arcy and his team are doing.” Randhawa, who started as a realtor in 1985 and then moved into land development in 1988, starting off with

D’Arcy said Randhawa’s donation will go a long way in their final drive towards its construction. The total fundraising effort is hoping to raise between $12-13 million, with $11 million of that amount already raised for the project. “This is a great project for Surrey and its resident and the entire region as now we will be able to do this right here instead of going to East or the State,” D’Arcy said. “We are so pleased with this generous donation from a stand-up guy like J.S. Randhawa who really came through to support good causes,” said Kerry Gibson who has been involved with D’Arcy in the fundraising effort for ImageTech. “If we weren’t blessed with generous individuals, then the community at large would suffer – this coming from someone, myself, who I am sure will benefit first-hand from the use of the Imaging Center,” she said.

Extensive hybridization has led to the development of fluorescent-coloured Christmas cacti. SUBMITTED

The true meaning of Christmas cactus Have you ever wondered why your Christmas cactus always blooms too early or too late for the Christmas season? The simple answer is that you probably don’t have a true Christmas cactus. The most popular cactus in our part of the world is a Schlumbergera truncata (or Zygocactus truncatus). This variety is often called a “crab cactus” because of its flat sharptoothed leaves. Large, long-tubed petals can appear anytime from November to March and in many cases, it will bloom twice during this period. The colour range used to include only pink, white, orange and salmon, but extensive hybridization has led to the development of fluorescent pink, scarlet, bright lavender and even yellow. Zygocactus are easy to grow and require minimal care. The most important fact to remember is that this cactus comes GREEN from the rainforest, so for its ultimate SCENE performance in your ▼ home, you must treat Brian it like a rainforest Minter plant. Unlike traditional cacti, Zygos love humidity. They also need very welldrained soil, otherwise their roots will quickly rot. To produce a November blooming crop, commercial growers take their cuttings in March or April when the daylight hours begin to lengthen. Usually three cuttings are rooted in a small cell pack using either sand or a perlite and sand mix. They root rather easily. All cuttings are then planted in 10-

or 15-centimetre pots with very well-drained soil and placed in a warm humid greenhouse to encourage fast growth. By the end of September, the plants are usually developed well enough to be saleable, but they must first be brought into bud and bloom. The trick here is to give them short hours of daylight (very much like poinsettias) and cooler temperatures. Growers can space out the blooming periods simply by controlling both the amount of daylight and the temperature. By making sure the plants have natural hours of darkness starting in mid-September and by maintaining night temperatures of 12.5 degrees C), one crop can be brought into flower in late October. The blooming of the second crop can be delayed until November or early December by keeping the temperatures higher and by adding night-time lighting. To get this second crop to flower, it too must be cooled and given less daylight hours prior to the desired blooming time. It’s important to know these details because many folks who

have Zygos can’t get them to bloom. This is usually because their plants are kept year round in a very warm room and their house lights are left on late at night. To have success, these conditions need to be adjusted. The other common problem with these plants is blossom drop. It is important to remember that these cacti need not only well-drained soil, but also a humid environment for the blossoms to fully develop. Don’t be afraid to mist them daily with warm water, and it really helps to place them on a saucer with gravel and water underneath. As for watering, give them a good drink of warm water, then let them dry out between waterings. Never keep the soil too wet or too dry. If it is the real Christmas cactus you are after, they can be hard to find. The correct name for this variety is Schlumbergera bridgesii. They come only in a rosy red colour, and their leaves are smooth and spineless, unlike the Zygocactus. They need the same care as Zygocactus, but they usually bloom bang on for Christmas. Brian Minter is a master gardener.
