Four flags fly during Ghent Treaty ceremony at Peace Arch Park

Flagbearers with the 10th White Rock Venturer Company Scouts march with the colours of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Belgium on Friday (Feb. 13) at Peace Arch Park during a ceremony to mark the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which served to end the War of 1812. Diplomats from four countries were present at the event to commemorate the

ratification of the treaty, which was signed in Ghent, Belgium on Dec. 24, 1814. The Peace Arch monument was originally designed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the treaty, but its construction was delayed until 1921, due to the onset of the First World War.

Shadows come alive Ancient art form hits stage at Surrey City Hall Friday and Saturday

Briefly

School board calls for input on budget

Gord Goble

Now contributor

emember when you were a kid and you shone a flashlight at your hand so its shadow would appear on a wall? Then you’d shape your fingers so it would look like a dog, or a bunny or that weird guy down the street? That’s hand shadow puppetry. Now, replace your hand with elaborate, articulated figures made from leather. Replace the flashlight with a bank of lights that shine on a translucent screen. Get a crew of highly skilled performers to manipulate the figures using a series of handheld rods. Add music, sound effects, and a story, and you have the basis of an art form, originated a few thousand years ago in southeast Asia, known as “shadow play.” One of the most celebrated modern purveyors of shadow play arrived in Canada last week, direct from China, for a series of performances throughout the Lower Mainland. Surrey’s lucky enough to get four of those performances – on Friday (Feb. 20) and Saturday (Feb. 21) at City Hall Centre Stage. You might want to be there. Chances like this don’t come along every day. At Chinatown’s Sun Yet-Sen Garden on Feb. 6, the Beijing Shadow Play Art Troupe made its first official public appearance since setting foot on Canadian soil. Six performers in all, including renowned puppet master Baogang Lu, they talked to the media with the assistance of a translator and showed off their puppetry without the aid of backlights or a screen. It was a slightly surreal experience in a slightly surreal setting. Later, Lu and his five charges toured the outdoor garden under a threatening sky and acted the part of first-time tourists, taking and posing for photos, chatting, joking, and drinking in the surroundings of this urban oasis. Three days later at the Richmond Art Gallery, as the centrepiece of that city’s Children’s Art Festival, the troupe debuted its show to a large gathering of curious children and adults. The kids sat on mats placed on the floor, while the grown-ups were for the most part relegated to the theatre seats further back. The room grew dim and the performance began. In the corner of the screen, a flower. A flower that magically bloomed as we watched. Then a frog, a frog that hopped and snared bugs from the sky. A crane flew in from above, landed on a rock and sat there preening. Soon, the crane interacted with a turtle and the giggles turned into laughter. And the odd gasp too.

Puppet master Baogang Lu says there’s a reason shadow play has has survived in China for more than 2,000 years – “it is an art of the people. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) SEE MORE PHOTOS ONliNE AT THENOWNEWSPAPER.COM It wasn’t the actions of the “puppets” so much as the subtlety and the complexity of those actions that inevitably drew in the crowd. These weren’t mere puppets – they were real. They were fluid. I’m not sure who was more mesmerized – the kids who were ready to be entertained or the adults who had a better grasp on what it must take to make this happen. One thing is sure – the dainty perfection of the presentation as seen from an audience perspective lays in stark contrast to the action behind the screen. There, each of the halfdozen performers whip about in an organized frenzy, their arms and fingers looping above and below the performers to their right and to their left. When the moment is appropriate, they leave the screen, grab another puppet from the floor, and re-insert themselves at a different position. At one point during the Richmond event, Lu controlled a crazily articulated squirrel using no less than six separate rods, each rod attached to one of six separate squirrel body joints. It was a stunning display of digital

dexterity. There is some worry that in this modern, computerized world, ancient art forms such as shadow play will eventually evaporate. The affable Lu begs to differ. “I think that is an extreme point of view. Shadow play has existed in China for more than 2,000 years. The fact that it is still around today must have its reasons. It is an art of the people. “Even with that said, I cannot deny that, with the emergence of movies, video games, and other forms of entertainment, Shadow play has to fight for the audience market. I believe this is a good thing. “Only through competition can you move forward. Shadow play of next year will be very different than shadow play of today. Advances in lighting, techniques, music, stories, and special effects will all contribute to creating and preserving this artistic culture.” See for yourself next week at Centre Stage. Show times are 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday and 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday. Short workshops, where interested parties can create and experiment with their own shadow puppets, follow each performance.

SURREY — With government funding expected to fall short of the needs of Surrey’s schools this year, the district is seeking input from parents and residents about which programs and services are most important going into the 2015-2016 budget. As in previous years, the board would like input from the public in order to better prioritize budget items. With 97 per cent of district funding coming from the province, the board is at the mercy of provincial budgetary restrictions when it comes to making such decisions. “This means difficult choices have to be made to ensure student needs are met in the best way, while balancing the budget,” reads a district release. By legislation, school boards must deliver balanced budgets every year. Those interested in providing input can do so by emailing them to budget@ surreyschools.ca before 4 p.m. on Feb. 25. Submissions can also be made by writing to secretary-treasurer Wayne Noye, at School District No. 36, 14033 92 Ave. Surrey, B.C.

Volunteers needed for bike patrol WHITE ROCK — The RCMP is looking for bike patrol volunteers for its community-policing program in White Rock. Applicants will “be the eyes and ears for the police,” in White Rock and assist by patrolling the community and notifying officers of anything suspicious. “White Rock embraces this model recognizing that the success of true community-based policing begins at the local level,” says the city about the service. “Our people are the most valuable resource. Private and community funding help support the local programs through fundraising by the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society.” Those interested must be willing to commit at least eight hours per month and must pass an extensive security check.

Farmers’ Market changes hours after complaints Event also nominated for Best Market in B.C. Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @Questionchris

WHITE ROCK — The White Rock Farmers’ Market has changed the times for its upcoming summer season to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, an hour later than previous years. The change comes after White Rock council shifted the vendor setup time from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. in response to complaints about noise. Those complaints came from the strata council of Miramar Tower A, a building that shares the plaza used by the market. “That’s not what we signed up for,” said strata president Cliff Annable about the noise. At the same city council meeting, staff was also asked to look into the closure of Russell Avenue for the market and if there were any options to move part of the market

elsewhere to keep the street open. “Every year the market has to get its permit from the city and we follow the permits and what’s set out for us,” said Coun. Helen Fathers, also executive Helen Fathers director for the market. “We wouldn’t do anything contrary to that and so onwards we go.” Meanwhile, the White Rock market has been nominated as “Best Farmers’ Market in B.C.” by the British Columbia Association of Farmers’ Market. “It is an honour to be recognized for the work we do in our community and throughout the province of British Columbia’s 125 Markets,” said Fathers. “We offer a first-class service and have shown enormous growth over our last 15 years of operation.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Surrey contractor still sizzling on ‘Masterchef Canada’ show Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — The last time the Now spoke with David Jorge, the Surrey-based contractor vying for a spot on CTV’s “Masterchef Canada,” he played it coy. The husband and father of two, who spent his career working in the concrete business, made it into the Top 50 on the cooking show and said he was trying hard to get “the white apron.” Those who have been watching the show know Jorge did, in fact, earn his white apron after serving up a west coast-style sablefish dish. Now, following Sunday’s show (Feb. 15), he’s competing in the Top 14 of the home-cooks contest. “Having all that positive feedback about being the best dish of the night, including having (my family) be part of the show was just truly overwhelming, and I think it kind of reflected on my face,” Jorge said in a follow-up interview last week. His spot on the season premiere featured Jorge tearing up as his wife and two sons

David Jorge

stood alongside him while the show’s judges revealed he would be moving on to the second round. “Now truly the show begins,” he said last week, “and we get to compete against each other and see who’s going

to come out on top.” So what preparation did he do to make sure he’d make the cut? “I knew for some time prior to being on the show that I was going to be on the show, so the practice, any type of practice I could get at home, was plating,” he said. “Because I’m not a professional chef by any stretch of the imagination, (I know that) food can taste the best in the world but if it doesn’t look good, you’re not going to get a response. So everything I worked on at home, even my kids’ cereal and mac and cheese was plated. I plated everything.” Watch Jorge’s progress Sundays at 7 p.m.

Our view

Taxpayers should not be on the hook for Gill’s ‘mess’

t’s hard to disagree with former Surrey mayor Bose Bose that the city’s handling of Coun. Tom Gill’s legal bills in a defamation suit, in which Gill and one of his relatives are defendants, is “a mess.” Surrey businessman Harjit Atwal is suing Gill over comments he allegedly made to the Surrey Leader newspaper concerning a violent 2010 incident involving Surrey broadcaster Maninder Gill, a family member. Why should we care? Because we’re paying for it – the city is spending Tom Gill taxpayers’ money to cover Gill’s legal bills. While the city indemnifies council members who find themselves in lawsuits related to city business, it has not established how, in any way, shape or form, this present case before the courts is anything other than a private matter. Further, for Surrey’s city solicitor to hide behind solicitor-client privilege as an excuse for not revealing the amount of legal bills already paid on Gill’s behalf is downright cheeky. Where’s the public oversight? Imagine someone telling you they are going to spend your hard-earned money on something while at the same time refusing to justify the expenditure or even let you know how much of your money they are spending? That, essentially, is what it happening in this case. Mayor Linda Hepner should be irate. Rather, she notes council wasn’t involved in the decision and that’s the way she wants it. For council to weigh in, for her, would somehow constitute “a football.” In this game, it appears, Joe Taxpayer has not only been sidelined, he’s been locked out of the arena.

The Now

Your view

Complete overhaul needed at TransLink The Editor, Re: “Emotions carry more weight than stats,” the Now, Feb. 12. I am voting “No” in the upcoming plebiscite – and there is nothing that will change my mind. Why? Because TransLink’s head honchos are either just in it for the money or are plain ignorant and greedy. They have repeatedly shown they are incapable of carrying out duties and responsibilities they have been entrusted to do and they seem to have no concern or desire whatsoever to do so. To simply give them more money to try and do this complicated and very costly public transportation project will result in chaos and millions down the proverbial toilet. The only way I would consider a “Yes” vote is if the whole lot of them were fired

and a new group installed with very specific conditions and responsibilities. And most of all they would need to be held accountable for their decisions and spending – no more fat cat salaries either. Perhaps, maybe a bonus if the job is superbly done. M. Lange, Surrey

Mann Bridge. Yet, those who only travel from the west side of the bridge all the way to Whistler – using the new widened highway and interchanges – do so at no additional cost. How can this possibly be considered fair? They say the additional tax will provide a new Patullo Bridge and LRT. Yet, the new bridge will be tolled, which removes what is now an alternative to being taxed for using the Port Mann. I will vote “Yes” to the new tax only if the tolls are removed on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, or if all bridges, tunnels, and the highway to Whistler are tolled at a lower, more reasonable rate. Given that my solution will not even be considered, I will be voting “No.”

BC Liberals content with cruise control, teasing NDP InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

ast week’s Throne Speech and this week’s provincial budget make it clear the provincial government is very much on cruise control, and I suspect that’s just the way Premier Christy Clark wants it. The Throne Speech was described by many as “threadbare” and an indication the BC Liberals are out of gas, to which Clark retorted the speech wasn’t about generating news headlines but was instead a reiteration of her government’s ongoing plan. The budget was another steady-as-she goes economic document, which achieves the BC Liberals number one priority of all: balancing the books. But the budget continues to be balanced on the proverbial razor’s edge, which means there are few dollars available for many new spending initiatives. Things weren’t always like this, of course. In the run-up to the last provincial election, the Clark government was running around,

announcing all kinds of things. The premier herself tried to dominate news coverage and her critics derisively labeled her “Premier photo-op.” But the premier is nowhere near as active in the media these days, and her government is not feverishly trying to change the world. The coming legislature session will see only a modest amount of legislation – less than 30 bills in all likelihood – and I suspect little of it will be controversial. In conversations with BC Liberals, I get the distinct impression they see no reason to do anything particularly dramatic. They sense their voter base seems content with the state of the province and so a laissezfaire approach has been adopted. Clark seems particularly confident, if not content in how things are going. No one pays attention to polls anymore (not that there have been any), so there is no evidence that if an election were held today that her party would be in trouble. And the premier continues to toy with the NDP Opposition, which is by no means as comfortable in its collective skin as the BC Liberals. Clark uses the NDP as the butt of a number of jokes in speeches she makes to party faithful, and in the legislature (which

Help name a school!

she attends only a couple of days a week) she appears to relish any question period encounter. The BC Liberals are well aware of the discomfort in NDP circles these days and jump at any opportunity to exploit the situation. For example, NDP leader John Horgan’s controversial decision (in a year-end interview with Canadian Press) to single out five of members of his caucus as “stars” (thus suggesting the rest of the caucus is something short of chopped liver) has given the governing side a delicious opening in the House. For example, BC Liberal MLAs occasionally tease any NDP MLA who is not one of the deemed “Fab Five” about their apparent lower status, thus keeping alive the ongoing narrative that the NDP has yet to resolve its internal dynamics. Contributing to the lower temperature at the B.C. legislature these days is the looming federal election. The BC NDP, because of its direct ties to the federal party, will naturally become more distracted as the federal campaign draws nearer. Two members of its caucus – MLAs Jenny Kwan and Mable Elmore – are about to fight it out in a nomination for a federal riding and that will

likely cause some tension. The BC Liberals are in a somewhat different situation but it’s one that can also create some internal tension. The party is a coalition and its caucus has members who have divided loyalties between federal Conservatives and Liberals. One of its members – Maple RidgeMission MLA Marc Dalton – has opted to sit as an Independent MLA as he seeks a federal Conservative nomination. If he were to actually win the nomination, he would stand a pretty good chance of winning a safe Conservative seat – which would open up his provincial seat, which in turn is a swing riding that the NDP could capture in a byelection. But that’s a lot of ifs. In the meantime, the provincial political scene is off to a quiet start in 2015 and there’s not much to suggest things are going to really heat up for a while yet. Still, even when a government is content to travel on cruise control, something can come out of nowhere to force it to make a sharp turn along the way. There’s nothing in sight right now, but the year is early. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C. Keith.Baldrey@globalnews.ca

Surrey Sylvan Learning Now Offering Robotics Classes To Strengthen STEM Skills This Spring Are you looking for a unique and creative learning opportunity for your child this spring? Three Sylvan Learning locations in Surrey are now offering Sylvan Robotics classes using LEGO® designed for kids in Grades Two through Six. This new educational program helps foster a love of science and technology with interactive, fun and hands-on activities. “Our goal for the Robotics classes at Sylvan is to expose our students to different technology and engineering concepts in an unconventional and fun way in order to help them develop a life-long interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) subjects,” says Vijay Dhanoa, centre director, Sylvan Learning located in Newton. “This hands-on learning experience encourages collaboration among the students, helps them build important critical thinking skills and shows them how seemingly abstract concepts can work together to create a tangible object – a programmable robot,” says Dhanoa. Throughout the program, students learn how to build and program robots using LEGO® Education’s award-winning WeDo™ programming software. Groups of like-minded students will get the chance to experiment and problem-solve together as they prepare their robot to compete against other robots in a friendly final competition. Students also complete a worksheet that reinforces the new STEM skills they’ve just learned. Parents are kept informed throughout the program with regular updates on the skills their child has learned following each session. In addition, Sylvan Learning will be launching two additional STEM programs in March, including coding for Grades Three to Five where students will design simple computer games, and Math Edge which is designed for students in Grades One through Five and which builds on core math concepts in a fun learning environment. STEM classes will be launched in March at all Sylvan Learning locations in Surrey and includes Spring Break camps. Programs start at $99 per student. This weekend, the Surrey Sylvan Learning locations will offer free introductory classes in Robotics. “This is a way of giving kids, and their parents a taste of the new programs we’re launching” says Dhanoa. “These are all hands-on programs and the best way to experience them is by actually doing them.” For more information, please call the Newton office at 604-596-5451, the White Rock office at 604-535-3354, or the Fleetwood office at 604-582-3332. This program conducted by Sylvan Learning is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by LEGO® Education or the LEGO® Group.

Taxpayers will pay for Gill’s legal bills in defamation suit City of Surrey won’t release amount spent due to solicitor-client privilege

Police call toddler’s death ‘suspicious’ Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — A former Surrey mayor says the city covering Coun. Tom Gill’s legal bills in a defamation suit is “a mess.” “This is a really sticky issue,” said Bob Bose, who sat as the city’s mayor from 1988 to 1996 and spent more than two decades as a councillor. The issue, for Bose, is whether Gill was acting on city business when he allegedly made the comments he’s being sued for. “In my political life I’ve been involved in a number of lawsuits, all of which arose from my discharge of my duties as a city councillor or as a mayor,” Bose stated. “It was strictly and clearly and absolutely consistent with my duties as a member of council.” To Bose, Gill’s case is not as clear. “On the face of it, it would appear that this does not involve Tom Gill’s discharge of his civic responsibilities,” he said, calling the rationale for the city to pay his legal bills “a stretch.” Gill is being sued by Surrey businessman Harjit Atwal over comments Gill made to the Surrey Leader about a violent 2010 incident involving a family member, prominent Surrey broadcaster Maninder Gill, who still faces criminal charges over that matter. The defamation case filed by Atwal, who was shot in the thigh outside a wedding at Newton’s Guru Nanak temple, is set to go to trial before a B.C. Supreme Court judge in New Westminster this week. Doug McCallum, who sat as Surrey’s mayor from 1996 to 2005 and lost his reelection bid last fall, echoed Bose’s concerns, saying the comments “appeared to be part of a private family wedding, and to me that’s outside of what the bylaw says.” The Surrey bylaw states that municipal employees should have their legal costs covered if they’re facing a court action “in connection with the exercise or intended exercise of the person’s powers or the performance or intended performance of the person’s duties or functions.” Asked what he thought of the city deciding to foot his legal bills in this case, Gill deferred comment to the city solicitor. “I’m not going to speak to this file,” he said Thursday, but added, “there was a legal opinion done outside of city hall and that legal opinion was consistent with the direction that both I and staff took.”

Coun. Tom Gill is being sued for comments he made about a temple shooting involving a family member. Taxpayers are covering his legal fees. (Photo: ADRIAN MACNAIR) Amid rumours the case had just been settled out of court, Gill said it would be “premature” to comment. “It’s in everybody’s best interest that it gets resolved,” he said. Surrey city solicitor Craig MacFarlane wrote in an email that the decision to indemnify Gill was made in consultation with legal counsel and the city’s risk management staff in December of 2013 and is subject to solicitor-client privilege. MacFarlane said the amount of legal fees paid thus far couldn’t be released because it is also covered by solicitor-client privilege. Federal Conservative candidate and former mayor Dianne Watts said she would have liked to see the issue forwarded to council “in terms of transparency” but didn’t take a position on whether the city was correct in agreeing to pay the fees. Mayor Linda Hepner said she and council weren’t involved in the decision, and that’s the way she wants it to be in these cases. “That was the first I heard about it, was reading it in the newspaper,” she said. “I’m not supportive of it not being in a subjective arena and I think that’s what the policy protects against.” Hepner said when she approached the city manager on the issue, she was told Surrey’s legal team got an outside opinion on the policy of indemnification, and learned Gill’s situation fit within those parameters. “This is not a political decision, this is a policy analysis decision and I believe steps were taken within the legal framework of indemnification and I would not want it to ever be put to a political decision-making body to say ‘yay or nay,’” Hepner said. “It would be a football. I’m very fortunate because I’ve got a good team on council but

on split councils you can see where that kind of decision-making within a political arena would just be a football going back and forth, for reasons that have nothing to do with policy and indemnification and more to do with political agendas. And you would never want to see that. So I honour the process.” But Bose calls on council to take its own action. “The important thing is the credibility of council, the accountability of council, is lacking right at this point,” he stated. Bose believes Surrey council should seek out another legal opinion. “The most important thing is that the council takes responsibility here and not just leave it with the city solicitor. The city solicitor has made a decision and I think council needs to also make a decision,” he said. In addition, Bose has concerns about the case settling outside of court. “You’ll never know whether Tom (Gill) is paying, or whether the city is paying to settle it…. In my mind, it’s absolutely cut and dry. But I’m not a lawyer. This is the first case I’ve heard of where there’s such obvious uncertainties.” When called Thursday for comment on the current case, Atwal said, “my lawyer told me not to say anything.” This isn’t the first spat between Maninder and Atwal. At the time of the 2010 incident, the two were reportedly feuding over another defamation case. Atwal had sued Radio India and a dozen staff members, including managing director Maninder, alleging defamation and libel over comments made on the air. In 2011, Radio India was found guilty. areid@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY — A Surrey couple is protesting their innocence as homicide detectives investigate the “suspicious death” of their three-year-old daughter Charlee Johanson. “This feels like a complete nightmare that I can’t wake up from,” the girl’s mother, Jennifer Johanson, told GlobalBC on Sunday. Charlee’s stepfather, Cody Graham, told Global the girl fell last Tuesday from a laundry bin she was standing on in the bathroom of their Surrey basement suite. He said she seemed fine until Wednesday, when they called for an ambulance after she had a seizure. The girl died on Saturday. “It’s hard; it’s really hard to be sitting here not accused, but being thought of as a child killer,” Graham said. “Neither of us would ever, ever, ever touch Charlee,” he said. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team issued a press release Saturday evening saying it was looking into the “suspicious death of a three-year-old Surrey child.” Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, spokeswoman for IHIT, said that “any time we investigate a suspicious death we treat it very seriously. We ask that the public keep in mind a child has died and her family is now dealing with that death.” No charge had been laid by the Now’s press time. IHIT is asking anyone with information to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448). Meanwhile, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Monday he could not find any record of police having been called to the couple’s residence prior to this IHIT investigation. In an unrelated matter, Jennifer Johanson was in the headlines in May 2013 after a racially-fueled spat between herself and a South Asian woman who had been protesting outside the Cloverdale Rodeo was posted on You Tube and went viral, leading to a Surrey RCMP investigation, front page newspaper stories and substantial television news coverage. In the end, no charges were laid.

SURREY — About 100 “Yes” people gathered last Wednesday morning at Surrey’s City Hall to urge residents to support the upcoming TransLink plebiscite. Mayor Linda Hepner said not only does council unanimously support the “Yes” vote, they have a variety of allies, with members of the business sector, organized labour, health officials, environmental groups, academics and students all urging voters to cast a ballot in favour of the plebiscite question. “When it comes to the merits of the plan there is no split along traditional lines,” said Hepner. “There is no split due to philosophical differences. What we have here is a consensus of common sense.” The Mayors’ Council Plan calls for a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax, with proceeds to go to several key improvements to Surrey’s transportation and transit system. On Friday, the mayor, who is receiving a $50,000 salary as vice-chair of the Mayors’

Council, responded to news that the city will spend between $200,000 and $300,000 on advertising the “Yes” vote to Surrey residents. “The city is certainly committed to making sure this referendum has as much of a success at “Yes” as possible because it is what is going to shape our community, both in rail and in transit service and other capital projects like walkways, bike paths and bridges.” Hepner said it’s no different than when the city would spend money to advertising the importance of recycling food waste. The advertising strategy comes from a Jan. 12 staff report to council recommending the allocation of those funds toward a communications and public relations blitz that includes social media, bus shelter and digital media advertising. Hepner said a “No” vote would lead to transit and traffic gridlock, harm the economy and will mean families spend less time together and more time stuck commuting. amacnair@thenownewspaper.com

Weekend collisions require jaws of life Adrian MacNair

SURREY — A 32-year-old Surrey man was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) Friday evening after losing control of his vehicle while making a turn and hitting a lamp post. The driver was headed northbound on Scott Road in a 1998 Toyota Corolla when he tried to turn on 102nd Avenue. Emergency crews had to use the jaws of life to extricate him from the vehicle as the driver side door had hit the lamp post. The man was heavily sedated by paramedics and transported to hospital for emergency surgery on a fractured left femur. Then, on Sunday, a 22-year-old Langley man ran a red light at 184th Avenue and Fraser Highway, T-boning a 24-year-old Abbotsford man driving a street sweeper. Both were sent off the road, colliding with a traffic signal. The Abbotsford man required extrication from the sweeper by the jaws of life when firefighters arrived on the scene. Both were transported to RCH with minor injuries and later released. The Langley man said he did not notice the red light and drove through the intersection by mistake. Police issued him a violation ticket for driving without due care and concern at the scene. Police say alcohol was not a factor in either accident.

Grade 8 Huskies perform on, off court Winning pair have coached their North Delta Secondary team to a 57-4 record over the past five seasons Kyle Benning

We run these guys like senior-level players because we know they’re so talented. We have to have an expectation or a compete level that’s so high to keep these guys engaged.

NORTH DELTA – Since taking control of the North Delta Secondary Grade 8 basketball team five years ago, Jesse Hundal and Gary Sandhu built a team that has been by far the best in the city. Over the past half-decade, the duo has led their teams to a 57-4 record in the Delta basketball league, including back-toback undefeated seasons over the past two campaigns. “We’ve seen the basketball program grow by leaps and bounds because of commitment from the boys and the girls in the school,” said Hundal. “We have practices at 7 a.m.,” Sandhu added. “Sometimes these guys are there at 6:30.” However, all that success had come to an end when the Huskies reached the second round of the Fraser Valley Championships. The squad hasn’t managed to make it past that point under the guidance of Hundal and Sandhu, but the coaches believe this is their year. The team has won four tournaments this season – L.A. Matheson, the North Delta Invitational, Fleetwood Invitational and Seaquam. Last Thursday (Feb. 12), they won the Delta league final with a 52-34 victory over Delta Secondary and now move on to the Fraser Valley playoffs, which begin today (Tuesday, Feb. 17, updates at Fvbball.org). Vital the team’s success are players Suraj Gahir, Arun Atker and Bhavraj Thiara, who play with DRIVE Basketball and are three of the most accurate shooters in Huskies history. “I didn’t think it was possible to see kids who put up 10 shots and score eight of them. Against Fleetwood Park … we hit 18

Pasha Bains, co-founder, director and head coach of DRIVE, said Gahir and Atker have played in close to 200 Amateur Athletic Union games each, which is one reason why they are so comfortable playing at the high school level. “(Thiara) is a little bit raw still, so we’re just trying to improve his skill level because he just started,” Bains said. “With (Gahir) and (Atker), confidence is definitely not the issue. They have more than enough of it. It’s more about refining their skills.” Due to the players’ high skill level, the coaches have had to tweak their practices to make sure all of their players are being

challenged. “We run these guys like senior-level players because we know they’re so talented. We have to have an expectation or a compete level that’s so high to keep these guys engaged,” said Sandhu. In many cases, the North Delta coaches have asked senior players and alumni to come and help out with practices so they become accustom to playing against bigger and stronger teams. “The rewards of the program for me are when I get former players to come back and help out,” Hundal said. “To me, that’s the greatest honour in the relationships that I’ve built with these guys.” Sandhu said one of the reasons he took

the job at North Delta was for an initiative called Husky Pride. “If you come here during the lunch hour or during a basketball game, you see it. You feel it. It’s something you can’t artificially create. It comes from the students,” he said. The basketball program has not only seen success in the wins column, but also off the court as the team showed how teammates care for each other. Sandhu said one of the players isn’t in the best financial situation and was wearing old shoes because his parents couldn’t afford to buy him a new pair. Without saying anything, another boy’s brother brought him his old basketball shoes, the coach said. The shoes didn’t fit, but it only motivated the team to come together to help out their friend. “These guys got together and pooled their money, gave it to us and Mr. Hundal bought him some brand new Nikes,” said Sandhu. “It was a good team moment for them. You can’t teach them to have that kind of compassion for someone. That’s what Husky Pride is. “It makes all of the hours you spend worth it. Just that split second,” he added.

INFORM Crime

Families move step closer to tough drunk driving law Adrian MacNair

Now staff Twitter @adrianmacnair

OTTAWA — A Conservative MP has tabled a bill in parliament that could radically change the sentencing for drivers who kill other people while drunk behind the wheel. Langley MP Mark Warawa introduced Bill C-652 – dubbed Kassandra’s Law – on Feb. 2 that would change the criminal code from impaired driving causing death to vehicular homicide, making the penalty for conviction life imprisonment. The driving force behind the bill is a group called Families for Justice, made up of people like Surrey woman Markita Kaulius, who lost her 22-year-old daughter Kassandra to a drunk driver in 2011. Her killer, North Delta resident Natasha Warren, had consumed more than a bottle of wine before getting into her Ford Econoline van, according to evidence presented at her trial. She ran a red light at 103 kilometres an hour before striking Kassandra’s car, critically wounding her. Warren ran away from the scene and conspired with her boyfriend to throw away

the car keys with a plan to report her vehicle stolen. She was later found by police with a blood-alcohol level that was still twice the legal limit for driving. Warren served just two years of a 37month sentence after pleading guilty to impaired driving causing death. Kaulius has devoted the better part of the past three and a half years since Kassandra’s death toward collecting 87,000 signatures for tougher drunk driving penalties in the criminal code. She can rattle off the sobering statistics off the top of her head – 1,250 to 1,600 people die in Canada each year to impaired driving. “Those are staggering figures when you think this is really a crime that is totally, 100 per cent preventable,” said Kaulius, adding Canadians have had 30 years of education and awareness campaigns about drinking and driving but now it’s time to stiffen sentences. Currently, the justice system gives out “nothing sentences” to impaired drivers and she has the stories of other Families for Justice members to back up that statement. “We had two girls killed in 2009 and the judges gave the accused, who had two previous impaired driving charges, he gave

shouldn’t be happening when people have lots of choices other than driving their own vehicle,” he added. Laurel Middelaer, whose four-year-old daughter Alexa was killed by drunk driver Carol Berner in 2008, said B.C. has found success preventing drunk driving death through tougher legislation. The Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) program – also known as Alexa’s Law – was introduced in 2010 carrying a litany of roadside suspensions of licenses and vehicle impounding for impaired drivers. Middelaer said her family looked at vehicular homicide during the time they were seeking justice for Alexa, but thought changing federal legislation could take “many, many years.” The family ultimately saw an opportunity for more immediate change with roadside prohibitions. “We do know that consequences that are timely and predictable do change behaviour,” said Middelaer. “And so there certainly is merit in looking at the vehicular homicide option.”

the fellow a $1,500 fine and seven weekends in jail.” Kaulius said those examples aren’t unusual, citing two other cases where impaired driving causing death resulted in a sentence Alexa Middelaer of 90 days to be served on weekends. Some families are reportedly upset the text of Bill C-652 doesn’t include a five-year mandatory minimum sentence for vehicular homicide, but Kaulius said she’s determined to keep fighting for that change. Warawa said he’s hoping the Harper Government will soon table complimentary legislation to deal with mandatory minimums. “The minister’s (Peter MacKay) been working very hard on that, and I’ve been working with him,” said Warawa via phone from Ottawa. “There’s this working group that’s been working with Families for Justice.” The Langley MP said it was saddening to learn that vehicular homicide is the number one criminal cause of death in Canada. “Every story is heart-wrenching and it
