Premier unveils campaign to SULLIVAN MEDICAL reduce violence against women CLINIC $3 million from civil forfeiture will fund Violence Free BC strategy By Kevin Diakiw Premier Christy Clark was in Surrey Friday to announce an initiative that she hopes will greatly reduce violence in the province. Clark stopped in at the main Surrey RCMP detachment Friday morning, announcing a “long-term vision” called the Violence Free BC strategy. She announced $3 million in civil forfeiture funds will go toward programs aimed at ending violence against women. Civil forfeiture is collected through seized assets from the proceeds of crime. It has generated
about $16 million since its creation in 2006. The funds announced Friday will be used for local anti-violence support services, the opening of a newly integrated domestic violence unit, and an upcoming campaign to raise awareness of the dangers women face. “Violence against women is not a women’s issue – it’s an issue for all of us in British Columbia,” Clark said in a release. “The Violence Free BC strategy is our road map to creating a province where each of us does our part, working together, to keep women safe from harm.” The government will also launch a public-awareness campaign in the near future.
RCMP nab alleged bank robber Cloverdale institution was hit during spree By Kevin Diakiw Surrey Mounties have arrested and charged who they believe is a serial bank robber who hit four local banks in January. On Jan. 17, a Whalley bank was robbed, then on Jan. 21 a Guildford bank, then two days later, another in Whalley and the next day in Cloverdale a bank was hit. Police believe Surrey’s Darrin
Andrew Pelland, 30, was responsible for all four robberies. Police say he was carrying a concealed weapon when he was arrested on Jan. 31. “Our officers were able to link all four bank robberies based on video surveillance footage and witnesses descriptions and were able to focus in on a single suspect,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP. ”With the rapid succession of the offences, this arrest undoubtedly prevented more robberies from being committed.” Pelland has been in custody
since his arrest and while additional charges are expected, he has been charged with 13 offences so far. They include five counts of robbery, four counts of disguise with intent, possession contrary to an order, possession of a prohibited firearm and carrying a loaded firearm with ammunition. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Robbery Unit at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if they wish to remain anonymous.

Terrorism comes into focus A
lengthy trial which began last week will provide a window into what is likely to be one of the top issues in Canada this year – homegrown terrorism. John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, who lived in Surrey, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. The charges relate to homemade pressure-cooker bombs which were planted outside the B.C. legislature on July 1, 2013. They were to go off and kill or injure people celebrating Canada Day. The trial, which is expected to last about 18 weeks, is occurring at the same time a trial in Ontario is getting underway. That involves two men who planned to damage a railway bridge as a Via Rail passenger train was passing by. According to prosecutors, they wanted there to be significant casualties from the destruction. Court in Toronto heard they were allegedly motivated by Muslim extremism.

As this is an election year, this topic will likely be top of mind for most of 2015. The two trials and the ongoing brutality of ISIS ensure that the issue will stay on the front burner. Canadians need to be aware that, in an era where it is just as easy to send a message to someone on the other side of the world as it is to speak to someone in the next room, there are some young people who are at risk of being caught up in an inexplicable enthusiasm for terrorism. This issue will be with us for some time. It has nothing to do with the election, but politicians will bring it into the equation. However, it does have a great deal to do with our way of life, with the actions our military are called to undertake and with the peace and stability that we in Canada cherish - and far too often take for granted.

To the editor; In response to the recent letter from Wally Forder: “East Clayton in need of a clean-up.� A few years back I wrote a letter suggesting that Surrey change its “title� from City of Parks to City of Pigs. My suggestion still stands. It is not just the Clayton area of Surrey that is disgusting, look around. There is so much trash along the streets and in the parks it is shameful. Even if there are garbage cans available, people will still drop their coffee cups, cigarette butts and food wrappers on the ground as it appears even though the garbage can is only steps away, it is too much of an effort to put the garbage in the can.

Alarmed yet?
I have seen cars roll down their windows to throw the garbage on the street and parents walking with their children and allowing the children to drop their papers and wrappers on the ground. The dumping of household items takes place in back alleys and in streams and creeks. What is wrong with the people of Surrey? I have cleaned up numerous times along my street and it never gets better and I am tired of doing it. People of Surrey – clean up your act! There is no reason to drop your garbage on the street. Use a garbage can. It doesn’t take a lot of energy or brain power to figure it out.

To the editor; After 2012, the B.C. government reduced the personal and spousal deductions by up to 15 per cent for tax purposes. In contrast, the federal government increased their deductions by about, two per cent in line with inflation expectations. The B.C. government’s action is the same as raising the tax rate for B.C. taxpayers without telling them. With over 2.5 million taxpayers in B.C., this will bring in $250 million each year just based on the lowest B.C. tax rate of 5.06 per cent. So if you take the higher tax brackets, it will likely bring in much, much more. This is probably more than the $250 million that is expected from the proposed transit tax of a 0.5 percent increase in the PST. Why did the government do this? To recover from the HST fiasco? To cover settlements with teachers and health care workers? For LNG projects? To balance the budget? The Site C dam? Or a war chest for the next election? The government has already collected an additional $250 million a year since 2012 and now they want even more money from taxpayers over and above increases in property taxes, medical premiums, BC Hydro, ferry rates and bridge tolls. There is no doubt that we need transit improvements, but I feel there should be a plan B. That’s why I’m voting “no� in the upcoming referendum.

By Jeff Nagel Hospitals in Fraser Health remain severely congested despite the launch of a new strategy last year to improve patient flow, according to the health authority’s latest statistics. Less than 39 per cent of the region’s emergency patients last year were admitted to hospital within 10 hours – far below a provincial target of 55 per cent – suggesting hallway medicine remains rampant in ERs. The numbers were worst at Langley and Delta hospitals (both at 29 per cent), Peace Arch (31 per cent), Mission Memorial (32 per cent), and Surrey Memorial and Chilliwack General (both at 32 per cent). That means more than twothirds of ER patients in all those hospitals typically waited longer than 10 hours for a bed. Other key capacity indicators in the health region’s newly released monthly report card show hospitals across the region are also struggling to meet targets to limit the average length of patient stay, the number of patients staying more than 30 days and the proportion of patients who could instead be treated at home or in other settings instead of hospital. Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty said ERs are jammed right now from the annual winter surge, mainly due to large numbers of patients arriving sick from the flu. “You don’t build an airport for the Christmas rush and you don’t build a hospital for the flu season,” Matty said in an interview. “The airlines get to say, ‘We’re sold out.’ But we can’t turn patients away.” Matty said she’s confident Fraser Health will soon see good results from its new strategic and operational plan, which was completed last year after a review ordered by

Health Minister Terry Lake. “We’ve turned the ship in my view,” she said. “We’re on a very positive road to try to shift services to the community.” The plan aims to find new ways to decongest hospitals by providing more services at home or in community settings, and also by preventative medicine to limit chronic disease rates as the population ages. As more capacity comes on line outside hospitals, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital who don’t need to be occupying a bed, clogging the flow of incoming patients. Matty said there’s a “huge” effort underway to work to ensure more residents across the region have a family doctor where they can get much treatment. “If people don’t have a family physician, they end up in the ER.” More residential care beds, home care services and working with families of patients are all parts of the region’s interlinked approach, she said.
The very fact congestion statistics and various other performance measures are now being made public in monthly report cards for the entire region and each hospital is also a significant improvement, she added. “We’ve become far more transparent and accountable,” Matty said. “The report cards help us focus. We’ve never had a reporting mechanism like this.” (Report cards can be viewed at http://www.fraserhealth.ca/about_ us/transparency/reportcard/). Several indicators show significant improvement, including rates of infection by resistant bacteria like C. difficile and MRSA that are now much better than the region’s targets. Fraser Health is also on track to end the year almost right on its $3.3-billion budget at the end of March, perhaps with a very thin surplus. Cost control allowed the region to increase the number of surgeries and MRI scans it performs until the fiscal year finishes at the end of March.

Fowler said Fair Share will continue to collect food for distribution to local charities, but the non-profit has been forced to abandon selling low-cost food to low-income people. “We’ve had to change our direction because we’re under attack,” Fowler said. “We’re not doing any retail.” Fowler said some suppliers stopped donating food and other products to Fair Share because of negative news coverage and lobbying by rivals. He said the controversy was creating too much stress for himself and the other volunteers he says all worked without getting salaries (although expenses were covered). “It got to be too much of a burden,” Fowler said.
Fowler said the shutdown has stranded 800 Fair Share clients. One former volunteer, Virginia Mary, posted a statement on Facebook decrying the shutdown. “I am a single mom who is going to college and working [at] Fair Share literally saved my life,” Mary wrote. “Before I knew about it, my grocery bills were over $400 per month. After Fair Share they were half that.” Now there is no Fair Share, Mary went on to say, “I’m back at the overpriced grocery stores and the expired, boxed food at the food bank.” Most of the controversy concerned a doorto-door food-collecting campaign called Operation Clean Out Your Pantry that dropped off paper bags with a note requesting donations of non-perishable foods and canned goods. Food banks and charities in Surrey, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge objected, saying Fair Share was wrongfully claiming to have their support. In 2012, when Fowler was just starting out and

operating as the Fraser Valley Grocery Resource Society, he ran afoul of the Abbotsford Community Services’ (ACS) Food Bank. The food bank complained the grocery bag note was misleading because Fair Share was saying “we support the local food banks” and that would make people think ACS was operating the program. At the time, Fowler told the Abbotsford News the bag campaign would be halted in Abbotsford. In 2014, the bag campaign attracted flak in Surrey and Maple Ridge. Youth Unlimited, a group that operates an in-school breakfast program in Maple Ridge, complained it was misleading of Fair Share to say it supported Youth Unlimited. Dennis Hemminger, the area director of Youth Unlimited, said his organization was not associated with Fair Share. “They shouldn’t be soliciting outside their area,” Hemminger said. Fowler told the Maple Ridge News it was a mistake that had been dealt with. “We’ve got it all straightened out,” Fowler said. When Fair Share donation bags appeared in a Cloverdale neigh-
bourhood, it prompted criticism by Marilyn Herrmann, executive director of the Surrey Food Bank. Herrmann told The Cloverdale Reporter newspaper that organizations like Fair Share are “popping up all over the place” and are not affiliated with the food bank. “We do not barter, trade or sell donated food,” Herrmann said, adding the food bank also doesn’t canvass door-to-door. Fowler said Fair Share solicits donations outside Langley because it delivers food as far away as Tsawwassen. The donated food was distributed to the homeless, shut-ins and Fair Share volunteers, Fowler said. Fair Share provided Black Press with a list of agencies it assists, including Triangle Community Resources (a Langley-based agency that provides employment services under government contract for people with “multiple barriers”), the SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) food bank in Aldergrove, Betty Gilbert Elementary School, Salvation Army Soup Kitchen, Mission Food Bank and Christian life Assembly Recovery Church. Before establishing Fair Share, Fowler was co-founder of the Oasis Outreach Society in Chilliwack, which recently opened a store in Langley on 203 Street and Douglas Crescent that re-sells donated food items at reduced prices to low-income people. Fowler is no longer associated with Oasis. - with files from Jennifer Lang, Monisha Martins and Vikki Hopes.

Silver lining to coming in second Surrey boxer narrowly misses gold at National Boxing Championships By Evan Seal Walking into the Port Kells Boxing Club, located in the basement of the Port Kells Community Centre, feels like stepping back in time. The tiny, fluorescent-lit concrete room is littered with yellowing posters of past champions and boxing fight card posters of local and world championship matches. Years of sweat hang thickly in the air. Punching bags dangle from the ceiling amid speed bags and skipping ropes, and a wall-sized mirror commands one side of the room. A boxing ring beaten down by many epic battles is tucked away in the corner. Sixteen-year-old Frank Hurt Secondary student Eric Basran sits alone on a small wooden bench in the gym putting on hand wrap – long strips of cotton material used to protect a fighter’s hands beneath his gloves. He’s soon up shadow boxing in front of the mirror concentrating on his reflection, avoiding solid body shots and straight right-hand punches. It’s his routine in a sport built on routine and Basran is realizing his practice is paying off. He returned last week from Quebec City sporting a silver medal from the Canadian Youth Boxing Championships, held Jan. 20-24. “He has natural athleticism and boxing ability,� said Al Harper, Basran’s coach. “He’s got that boxing sense and is able to know what other fighters are going to do before they do it.� Fighting as a member of Team BC and representing the Queensborough Boxing Club, Basran, fighting in the 52-kilogram weight category, defeated a fighter from Quebec in his opening match. This moved him into the gold medal final against another Quebec fighter,
KPU to eye soccer prospects
seven previous fights. “But every time we raise the bar, he jumps over it.� In the final, Basran came out swinging, using his superior speed and footwork to win the first two rounds with a 10-9 score each. He even handed Blumfield a standing-eightcount in the second round with a solid over-hand right punch, meaning he landed a shot the referee felt warranted stopping the fight for eight seconds to assess the other fighter’s ability to continue. The fight continued into the third round with Basran’s opponent coming on strong and landing a clean shot of his own during an exchange that warranted an eight-second count against Basran. The final round was given to the Quebec fighter with a 10-8 score, which meant the match was tied.

Boxer Eric Basran, 16, who practises at the Port Kells Boxing Club, recently took home silver from the Canadian Youth Boxing Championships held in Quebec City.
Thomas Blumfield, who had nearly 80 fights under his belt and a recent second-place finish at the U.S. National Championships – a challenge not lost on his coaches. After seeing how Basran’s gold-medal opponent handled
his semi-final match, the head coach for Boxing BC, Bob Pegeus, wasn’t sure how Basran – a relative newcomer to the sport – would react. “I was a little concerned about the final,� said Pegeus of Basran’s lack of experience only having

At that point, two more judges were brought in, with the first still calling the match a tie. However the second judge gave the match to Basran’s opponent, meaning the silver medal went to Basran. “At first I was disappointed, but then I realized he had almost 80 more fights than me,� Basran said. “Hopefully I get on the Canadian team and get a chance to go to some international tournaments like the Commonwealth Games.� His goal is to make it to the Olympics.

Fury host U21 nationals Cloverdale team to play at Softball City By Nick Greenizan Some of the best under-21 softball players from throughout Western Canada will take to the fields at Softball City this summer. The South Surrey facility will host the 2015 U21 Men’s and Women’s Western Canadian Softball Championships, it was announced last week. The tournament will run Aug. 6-9, and the Cloverdale Fury U21 women’s team will be the event’s official host club. “Softball BC is very pleased to have the Cloverdale Fury represent BC as the host committee for this prestigious tournament,” said Jake Dewitt, president of the BC Amateur Softball Association. “The combination of our host team, along with our facility at Softball City, is sure to make this a
memorable event.” Teams from all western provinces, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories, are eligible to compete. Cloverdale Fury organizing committee members are currently looking for sponsors and for volunteers to help with many aspects of the event. “We are thankful to the Western Canadian Softball Association and Softball BC for awarding our group the opportunity to host this great event,” said Merv Sandrel. “An event this large requires many helping hands and we welcome our local community to volunteer and help us make this an event to remember.” For information on the tournament, or to volunteer, email Sandrel at merv@ ballparksports.ca or call 604-576-7865.
