Accused killer driver a no-show in court

espite a chorus of voices calling for an emergency infusion of money to unclog B.C.’s critically congested court system, the provincial government has no such plans.

In fact, more cuts are coming.

The B.C. Provincial Court warned in its extraordinary Justice Delayed report last fall that another 17 judges must be hired just to get back to 2005 levels and stop the growth of the case backlog that increasingly lets criminals walk free because of unacceptable delays.

Instead, February’s provincial budget approved more cuts for 2011-2012 – one per cent for the judiciary, eight per cent for court services and six per cent for prosecution services to carve out another $14.5 million – followed by a funding freeze for the following two years until 2014.

Years of attrition have whittled down the number of judges and sheriffs and increasingly complex, longer cases take up more time for prosecutors.

More than 2,100 criminal cases are now at risk of being tossed out of court due to delays that threaten to violate the accused’s right to be tried within a reasonable time.

And the concerns don’t end there.

As recounted in previous installments in this investigative series, longer waits are hurting victims of spousal abuse, children in custody battles and other family law matters.

Defendants are less likely to plea bargain and more apt to go to trial to try to exploit the long delays in the system.

Even repeat speeders are challenging traffic tickets and then getting them quashed when they drag on too long in the courts.

And critics say the time a resources and po police spend inv investigating A Black Press suspects who special series never go to investigating the trial is an unaccongestion and ceptable waste. delays in B.C.’s

Eaglet expected to hatch Sunday

Turban tying skills on display Gurjot Gill, 6, has a turban tied during the ninth-annual Sher-E-Punjab Radio Dastar (turban) Competition at the Bombay Banquet Hall on Sunday. The aim of the contest is to promote and create positive awareness of turbans.

About 5,000 people attended the event throughout the day.

expected to hatch this Sunday – and it will all be viewable on your computer screen.

Hancock Wildlife Foundation’s eagle cameras have been overlooking a nest in Ocean Park since last fall, when a family of two parents moved in for a second year.

Their two eggs were laid three days apart, the first one exactly 35 days before its expected April 17 hatching. The second egg, if all goes well, will hatch on Wednesday.

Thousands of people were able to watch the first hatching of two eggs at the Delta 2 site on April 11 at 2 p.m. A second egg was expected to hatch on April 14.

Surrey suing over alleged developer conspiracy Unidentified private corporation added to claim against former city planner

developers acted in conspiracy with a former planner to bilk the city out of fees.

This week, Surrey added several individuals and corporations to a lawsuit against former city planner Akonyu Akolo, who the city alleges took bribes from the public. “(Akolo) in exchange agreed not to collect the full amounts of fees owed by those members of the public to the city, in respect to rezoning, subdivisions or development permit applications they had made to the city,” according to the city’s April 11 Notice of Application.

In its amended lawsuit, the city alleges developers tortiously conspired with Akolo in a bribery scheme that caused financial harm to the city.

“Each of the developers entered into an agreement with Akolo, whereby each developer agreed with Akolo to pursue shared goals that they knew

would injure the city, namely that they agreed the planner took from the city were used directly Akolo would accept a bribe, would not collect for the purchase of the house on Chateau Wynd in North Delta. It has an assessed value of $624,000. from the developers the full amount of fees owed Akolo is also being criminally charged with the city,” the Notice of Civil Claim states.

The claim focuses on developers, fraud with regard to the missing funds.

Father: There is no penalty harsh enough From Page 1 As a young offender, the driver cannot be named. He’s been charged with dangerous driving causing death.

Sanjeeve died June 29, 2009. He was one of two passenger in a white 1999 Chevy Malibu that slammed into an SUV near 128 Street and 82 Avenue in Newton The teenage driver was reportedly driving erratically before the crash.

The other occupants of the Chevy escaped with minor injuries.

Sanjeeve’s family wore black T-shirts to Surrey Provincial Court with “The good die young” written on the back and a photo of the hockeyplaying 15-year-old on the front.

Parents Sanjay and Sara were unimpressed – although not entirely surprised – that the teen charged in their son’s death didn’t attend court Wednesday.

“He’s gutless and he’s proven it. It’s 22 months and he’s still not here,” Sanjay said, adding there isn’t a penalty harsh enough for the accused.

“What’s a driving ban going to do? My son’s got a life ban. What’s jail

going to do? You’re still eating, you’re still watching TV, you’re still waking up every morning with a heartbeat. My son does not have that.”

Sanjay said he was glad to see criminal charges laid after nearly two years, but said whatever the outcome, the matter won’t be one to celebrate.

“We’ll never get Sanjeeve back,” he said. “But at least it will be an indicator to those out there that want to do this behaviour that this could be the consequence.”

Sanjeeve’s mom and dad also believe parents of young drivers need to take responsibility for their children. They’ve been told the driver, although he only had his learner’s licence, may have been driving a car purchased and insured by his parents.

Under B.C. law, someone with an “L” permit is only allowed two passengers, one of whom must be an adult aged 25 or older who has a valid licence.

Sanjeeve would have celebrated his high school graduation this spring from Princess Margaret Secondary.

The accused’s next court date is April 20.

ealth care. Education. The Harmonized Sales Tax. There’s no shortage of hot-button issues clamouring for government attention as a possible provincial election looms.

But there’s an even bigger elephant in the room, one that has been ailing for nearly a decade and by many accounts, is now in danger of collapsing.

B.C.’s legal system is in big trouble.

Justice Denied, The Leader’s five-week investigation into the various components of the system, has revealed a precarious house of cards.

Provincial funding cuts dating back to 2003 have reduced the number of sitting judges, fuelling a trial backlog that increasingly lets criminals go free because of unconstitutional delays.

The result? More than 2,100 cases are now at risk of being tossed out of court due to waits that threaten to violate the accused’s right to be tried within a reasonable time.

Savvy defence lawyers are exploiting the dysfunction in the system to their advantage.

Accused criminals – some Q A chronically charged with serious crimes overburdened such as impaired driving causing legal system bodily harm – are getting away scot-free without having to face their victims or be accountable for their actions.

The considerable efforts of Q Despite being police officers are being wasted, handcuffed by not to mention the taxpayer a challenging money used to pay them for economy, the B.C. investigations, forensic work and government must testimony that are all for naught provide more once the suspect walks. funding to fix But perhaps the hardest hit the problem are the victims – regular people impacted by crime who have no choice but to rely on a deteriorating legal system for relief.

The verdict on the possibility of a quick fix is grim.

February’s provincial budget approved another $14.5 million in cuts to the judicial system for 2011-2012 – followed by a funding freeze for the next two years, until 2014.

This despite the fact a tax on legal services – originally created to support legal aid – funnels more than $100 million each year into the province’s general revenues.

It’s estimated about $25 million annually in additional funding would bring staffing levels in the court system up to the levels they were six years ago. Imagine what dedicating a $100 million to the courts would do.

B.C. Attorney General Barry Penner told The Leader this week he would like to provide additional dollars, but there’s only one pot of money to support myriad public services and indeed, only one taxpayer.

That may be true. But aside from health care, one would be hard-pressed to identify an issue that cuts across all walks of life and has, directly or indirectly, affected nearly everyone.

Divorce, drug use, child custody battles, physical and sexual assaults, break-and-enters, murder, domestic violence, negligent or impaired driving, speeding, animal abuse... who hasn’t been impacted by such occurrences, or known someone who has?

If Premier Christy Clark is serious about her “Putting Families First” platform, fixing B.C.’s debilitated justice system must be among her top priorities.

Voters: When the provincial writ is dropped, make this an election issue politicians can’t ignore.

LETTERS

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Medical Cadman no replacement for her husband EI not on agenda IN MAY OF 2005, I took pride in watching my

SO THE ELECTION is in full force with all the rhetoric and promises being rolled out. So what?

I have cancer and I am currently undergoing chemotherapy.

Although I have a good prognosis, the road to recovery is longer than the 15 weeks the medical EI program allows.

Currently there is no mechanism in the EI system that allows for any exemption to this 15-week time frame, even though I have worked and contributed to the EI system for over 30 years.

If my illness was deemed to be terminal, I could apply for CPP disability but EI only allows for the waiting period for a long-term disability claim. My employer does not offer any long-term disability benefits.

I am appalled that the current election platforms are for “putting family first” and as was stated in one commercial, “Your government should be there when your family needs it most.” Where are they? I don’t see any proposal for extending medical EI from any party for those Canadians with a long-term illness, not just necessarily cancer, but those with an optimistic prognosis of returning to good health.

Almost half-a-million Canadians have signed a petition for this change. Currently a petition has been submitted by Mark Warawa of the Conservative party and by Denis Coderre from the Liberals and both the Bloc and NDP have also submitted private member bills on this matter.

With this in mind, why has this not been part of the promises that are being rolled out by all the parties?

Dealing with this diagnosis is stressful enough without having to worry about the financial implications of getting better. This is the way that all these political parties can put family first, because what impacts me impacts my family.

If you or someone you know is in the same situation I would urge you to contact all federal candidates in your riding and bring this issue to their attention. If we all raise our voices there is a better chance to be heard.

Member of Parliament, Chuck Cadman, stand up in Parliament and vote the wishes of his constituents.

Here was someone from North Surrey, on a national stage, standing up for our community and voting on the principle that the voters of North Surrey actually mattered.

Cadman made me proud that day – proud that he came from my community.

Proud that I may have had a small part in his coming to the conclusion that the wishes of the people of North Surrey were important. He was one of our own.

And he stood up for that which was right.

The wishes of his constituents were so important that despite the fact that he was undergoing chemotherapy for melanoma, he flew across this country so that we, in North Surrey, could have our vote registered in Parliament.

It is so sad to observe that Chuck’s widow Dona Cadman has not been able to live up to the same principles.

Maybe the bar that Chuck set was simply too high. Given an opportunity to represent the wishes of the people of North Surrey and vote against the HST in Parliament, Dona Cadman chose to absent herself from the vote.

She refused to stand up to Stephen Harper knowing full well that the people of North Surrey were overwhelmingly opposed to the HST. As a result, we had no voice in Parliament.

It would appear that the Conservative party is simply capitalizing on the Cadman name to garner one more seat.

This time I will not put an X by the name of Cadman on the ballot.

Her actions do not meet the standard set by Chuck.

Surrey roads becoming unsafe

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

WHAT IS HAPPENING to the roads in the City of Surrey? We are seeing a serious degradation of the condition of the system to the point where some roads are becoming unsafe to travel on.

I challenge you to drive down a Surrey street and not have to swerve to avoid a large pothole or improperly levelled street repair or manhole. I have to laugh when I see a fresh layer of asphalt for the simple fact I know that this only means there is road work planned in the near future.

The majority of the major avenues and streets such as Fraser Highway, 88 Avenue, 96 Avenue, 104 Avenue, 108 Avenue, 120 Street, 148 Street, 152 Street, 160 Street, 168 Street and 192 street are all in serious need of repaving… even the recently repaved Highway 10 (56 Avenue) is starting to show signs of needing to be redone.

I know some will blame it on the recent weather. I am sorry, I don’t buy that argument, as most of these issues have been around for several seasons and have had half-hearted attempts at repairing them by city crews or contractors.

I think it is time the city addresses this situation before someone swerves to avoid a pothole and kills someone in the process. Don’t laugh, I have seen it happen.

Surrey’s roads need to be better maintained, says a letter writer.

Don’t toss out cases EVERY TIME judges toss out

cases for taking “too long” to come to trial, I cringe. I think that justice was not allowed to run its course. They of course use the opposite, but idealistic argument that taking too long is justice denied.

Should judges be able to toss out cases for taking “too long?”

A definitive no. But they do it, they have the power. Can you imagine doctors saying that their patients have been waiting a year or more so we are just going to move on?

Governments representing the people of British Columbia, regardless of which stripe, make budgets based on overall priorities. The amount of available money is finite. They simply are unable to do all the things people want governments to do.

Should judges be able to jump to the head of the line, before health or education and the like? I say no. Why should judges be able to dictate to the

government, i.e. the people of B.C. They can argue for their needs like everybody else.

After that, they should live with it like everybody else. That’s what people of B.C. want them to do and not abuse their lofty authority.

Judges should not toss out cases for taking “too long.”

Illegal means illegal RE: “BIG HOMES issue still looms

large for Surrey,” The Leader, April 1.

So let me get this straight... If a bunch of grow-op owners decided that they didn’t want to comply with the secondary suite bylaw, and they began to steal services and destroy neighbourhoods, and they got a petition together, the city would just brush it under the carpet? After all, what is the difference between that and those that build illegally and intentionally?

If the city believes that by modifying zoning, it will make it all okay, they are driving a stake into the heart of this city. They will pit neighbour against neighbour.

Anarchy will rule, and it will be ugly, every way you look at it. The mayor and council need to get a grip and direct staff to enforce the present laws, like they do in surrounding communities.

Jill Singe

Implement fair wage policies ON BEHALF OF the Surrey, White Rock, and Langley

chapter of the Council of Canadians, I’d like to applaud Surrey for its approval to explore the idea of a fair wage policy for all Surrey contracts.

Statistics Canada has placed the poverty line for a single person living in a major city in 2007 at $21,666 before tax. That works out to about $10.80 per hour. I don’t think contractors should be paying wages that are at or even close to the poverty line.

A living wage needs should be $18.81 an hour in Vancouver (“Working for a Living Wage,” Canadian Centre

for Policy Alternatives).

We live in the age of the working poor where too many are working full-time and do not earn enough money for the basics to raise their family. People working full-time should not be forced to rely on food banks.

Other governments have already adopted a fair wage policy.

Our chapter looks forward to the fair wage policy implementation in Surrey.

Dangerous offender status sought for child molester Surrey’s Kyle Berkson convicted of sexual assault of a nine-year-old girl

by Sheila Reynolds HE WAS convicted earlier this year of breaking into a little girl’s bedroom in Surrey and sexually assaulting her in the night.

Now the Crown prosecutor who won the case against Kyle Berkson wants the 36-year-old assessed by a psychiatrist to decide if a dangerous offender hearing should proceed.

In Canada, a person designated a dangerous offender may be subjected to an indefinite prison sentence to protect the public.

Prosecutor Lynett Jung argues Berkson

has a “long and, I would respectfully submit, relevant criminal record” and has shown an “inability to control his sexual impulses.”

Berkson’s record goes back to 1988, when he

was a youth, and extends into adulthood with convictions of assault with a weapon, breaking and entering, and possession for the purpose of trafficking. There was also a sexual interference

conviction involving a boy.

His latest conviction, in February, was for sexual interference (touching someone under 14 for a sexual purpose), invitation to

sexual touching, breaking and entering with intent to commit sexual assault with a weapon, and uttering threats.

It was April of last year when a nine-year-old Surrey girl woke to Berkson sitting on top of her.

He told her to be quiet, which she did because she was scared. He then sexually assaulted her, tried to get her to perform oral sex, licked her cheek and threatened her before leaving.

In speaking to the dangerous offender application, defence lawyer David Gable, conceded in court Tuesday that Berkson has “a rather lengthy unenviable criminal record,” but said much of it seemed to be concentrated about 10 years ago.

Gable added there was no argument his client has a history of an offence similar to his most recent conviction.

However, he urged the judge to consider the “considerable gap” between the last and most recent offence.

The judge is expected to deliver reasons as to whether a psychiatric assessment is warranted in mid-May.

TransLink tax hits hot markets harder Homes paying more where offshore buyers driving prices up

by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK’S property

taxes are taking a deeper bite from Metro Vancouver homeowners in parts of the region where real estate prices are being rapidly bid up by an influx of foreign buyers.

TransLink’s board last week approved property tax rates that will see the average home pay the transportation authority an extra $4.16 this year, for a total of $228.21.

That’s based on the average 2011 residential property assessment of $652,000 – which climbed 10.7 per cent from a year ago.

But property values are rising at different rates in different cities around the region and homes in supercharged markets will pay considerably more.

TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the authority tries to strike a balance but must

apply the same residential tax rate consistently across the region – this year it’s $0.35 per $1,000 assessed value.

Richmond has seen median house prices spike to more than $1 million in recent months amid a surge of interest from mainland Chinese buyers.

That activity isn’t yet fully reflected in the assessed value, which this year rose 17 per cent on average in Richmond based on assessments as of last July.

But a house in the city’s Broadmoor area that climbed 21 per cent in assessment from $1 million to $1.21 million will pay nearly $425 to TransLink this year, up from about $380 a year ago.

“It’s going to affect homeowners in Richmond, so that’s a concern,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said.

The dynamic is similar in Tsawwassen,

where many assessments rose at least 17 per cent, as well as Vancouver, where a typical west-side house on a 50-foot residential lot jumped 27 per cent from $1.84 million to $2.33 million.

“We’ve been concerned for some time about the continued and increasing use of property taxes by TransLink,” Brodie said.

The appointed TransLink board, which meets behind closed

doors, is empowered by the province to collect up to three per cent more each year in property taxes without seeking approval of the region’s mayors council.

This year’s increase raises the tax take from the average home by 1.86 per cent and from the average business by 1.95 per cent, with the additional revenue to the three per cent limit coming from new construction.

The board can ask for

higher property taxes beyond inflation to fund expansion plans, but only with the mayors’ approval.

Mayors last December rejected a board request for such an increase to pay TransLink’s share of the Evergreen Line costs. It would have raised the average home’s TransLink tax by at least $35 per year.

Talks have now resumed between the mayors and the

“Property tax is a wealth tax and not even a very good one as it is passed on to renters and doesn’t differentiate between various equity levels people have in their homes.”

Offender warning More Bencze charges Man raped 84-year-old woman

by Vikki Hopes POLICE are warning

the public that a sex offender convicted of the brutal sexual assault of an 84-year-old woman in Surrey will be living in, or frequenting, the Abbotsford area.

David Anthony Dutiaume, 24, was sentenced in 2005 to six years in prison and, after serving his full sentence, was released last week.

Const. Ian MacDonald said Dutiaume

does not have family in Abbotsford, but previously had a girlfriend living in the community. MacDonald said police have taken the rare step of notifying the public due to concerns that arose during Dutiaume’s incarceration.

Dutiaume was 15 years old in June 2002 when he posed as a donations collector for Unicef and forced his way into the Surrey home of a senior woman.

ducted in a police van.

Strip searches must be carried out under strict conditions, one of which is that they be at police stations – unless the safety of the police, public or detainee is in jeopardy.

In this case, Gulbransen said, the only justification for doing the search in the field was that the accused might dispose of the evidence while being transported to the police station.

No one was in immediate danger, he said.

“It was an unreasonable search,” wrote Gulbransen.

“This court cannot reward or encourage the police conduct in this case.”

The drugs, which Gulbransen called “essential” to the Crown’s case, were obtained by police after they stopped a vehicle for an alleged traffic violation in the Newton area of Surrey last

November. The man was a passenger in the vehicle.

An unofficial note on the police computer data base said the registered vehicle owner was “hired to drive dial-a-dopers.” (Diala-dope operators take phone orders and make deliveries of drugs).

One of the attending officers said when he approached the car, the man was “furiously shoving his hand down the back of his pants” as if he was trying to hide something.

When the officer did a pat-down of the accused beside the car, he felt a felt a small, lumpy object that made a rustling sound like it was something wrapped in plastic.

The constable believed it was crack cocaine packaged for sale and forced the suspect into a nearby police van.

There, two police officers looked down the back of the accused’s pants, finding a clear cellophane packet containing about 33 rocks of crack cocaine and a small amount of heroin.

One of the constables argued he didn’t want to “lose the continuity of the evidence” by transferring the man to a nearby RCMP detachment.

In a rare show of unity, the membership is asking for a 10-month racing season, a request that’s been rejected by the company that operates Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, the provincial gaming policy and enforcement branch, and the B.C. Horse Racing Industry Management Committee.

Roberts said the move will force hundreds of horses out by month’s end – and pits owners and trainers against one another because the remaining stalls are offered at a first-come, first-serve basis.

Copies of the petition are at the following locations for those wanting to sign: Newmac Animal Feeds at 17967 56 Ave., Dee’s Brazilian Shoes at 5757 176 Street, Tricia’s Gems at 5679 176 Street, and at Destination Cloverdale – home to both the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce and the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association – at 5748 176 Street.

Those who make a living at the colourful red barns at Fraser Downs are worried about their livelihoods, she said, adding circulating a petition is one way for her to try to save jobs and a way of life.

In addition to providing jobs at the racetrack, she said the barns contribute to the local economy because goods and services are purchased locally, including animal feed, veterinarian care and farrier services.

Public Notice: Change to Emergency drop-off procedure at Surrey Memorial Hospital New entry through parkade Effective tomorrow, April 16, non-ambulance traffic headed to the Emergency entrance at Surrey Memorial will be directed into the nearby parkade almost immediately after turning off of 96 Avenue.

The lower section of the parkade closest to the Emergency entrance will be designated for Emergency parking only. It will include a number of 15-minute drop-off spots, as well as other parking stalls available for longer periods. There will be a pedestrian walkway leading directly from the parking area to the Emergency entrance.

Overheight vehicles that cannot enter the parkade will be allowed to follow the ambulance route to the Emergency entry.

This change is necessary because the nearby construction of the critical care tower has limited the space available for traffic at the Emergency entrance, and we want to ensure that ambulances can always get through with our sickest patients.

Change to South Entrance - Children’s Health Centre The circular drop-off near the entrance to the Children’s Health Centre at Surrey Memorial Hospital, accessed from 94A Avenue, is now permanently closed to vehicular traffic.

There is still pedestrian access to the entrance, but we recommend that vehicles dropping off patients and visitors access the area via the elevator from the underground parking.

We expect that we will have a new south entrance completed by June with a wheelchair ramp and provision for vehicle drop-off of patients. It will be accessed from 94A Avenue.

Thank you We appreciate your cooperation and patience during these disruptions as we continue working to provide you with the best care possible through the redevelopment and expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital.

ping centres on up to 175 acres.

TFN announced the memorandum of agreement between the development groups and the TFN Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) on April 8.

In the media release, TEDC’s CEO Chris Hartman said Ivanhoe Cambridge has proposed developing about two-thirds of the property, located north of Highway 17 and east of the B.C. Ferry Terminal, and Property Development Group plans to develop the remaining third.

“Under the current concept, approximately 1.8 million square feet of retail, office, entertainment and other uses would be developed in two projects,” Hartman said.

When asked what 1.8 million square feet looks like, he compared the size to Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby.

Ivanhoe Cambridge

wants to create a 1.2 million square foot destination retail and entertainment centre tentatively named Tsawwassen Mills, inspired by the success of its previous projects, CrossIron Mills north of Calgary and Vaughan Mills north of Toronto which opened in 2010 and 2004, respectively.

Property Development Group has proposed a 600,000-sq.-ft. outdoor retail space and other mixed uses called Tsawwassen Commons.

In a phone interview, Hartman said the projects will respect First Nation culture in their appearance, similar to how CrossIron Mills attempted to reflect Alberta culture in its design.

“We’ll be doing something similar but better here in terms of making sure the Coast Salish art and culture is reflected in the building design,” he said.

Hartman added they

“Under the current concept, approximately 1.8 million square feet of retail, office, entertainment and other used would be developed.”

Chris Hartman will also work with the developers to implement sustainability guidelines being developed by TFN. He said Ivanhoe Cambridge in particular has been “quite progressive” in terms of incorporating sustainable features into their projects, such as underground cisterns

that capture and reuse storm water.

The next step following the memorandum of agreement is for both companies to further develop their concepts and then enter into more detailed discussions with TFN and the TEDC. Hartman said if the projects proceed as currently conceptualized, construction could generate more than 1,200 person years of employment and create more than 4,500 part time and full time jobs once completed.

The TEDC hopes initial phases of construction will be underway in 2012.

“We’re looking forward to this project,” Hartman said. “We believe as a signature shopping centre in the province, it will help a lot in terms of attracting other developments of similar quality to Tsawwassen First Nation.” reporter@southdeltaleader.com

How bad will the court crisis get?

Public tolerance is waning, NDP’s Leonard Krog warns

by Jeff Nagel THE FACT the B.C. Provincial Court

has even taken on the issue of the faltering justice system is remarkable.

Several judges – who rarely comment on political matters – have also directly criticized the backlogs, delays and chronic under-funding in recent rulings in which they have thrown out charges against accused criminals.

“No justice system should be in such a state of disarray that the judges have to be begging for help from the government,” said Leonard Krog, NDP critic for the attorney general.

He said the system has been bled on multiple fronts.

In addition to the lack of judges, prosecutors, clerks and sheriffs, Krog pointed to past funding cuts to legal aid and the closure of courthouses, community law offices and poverty offices that have pushed the justice system in B.C. into a “deplorable state.”

When Crown prosecutors are stretched too thin, he noted, errors happen and criminals go free.

“Defence counsel will quite properly take full advantage of every mistake that is made,” he said.

“You’ve got to stop sending people into gunfights packing knives.”

Provincial politicians tend to emphasize law enforcement.

When gang violence flares up, they often move quickly to add more police to ease public concern.

This month Victoria announced much stiffer animal cruelty penalties in response to outrage over the sled dog slaughter in Whistler.

See LEGAL TAX / Page 18

“Clearly we have some challenges in certain areas,” B.C. Attorney General Barry Penner said in an interview with Black Press.

But he confirmed there will be further cuts this year and no new cash for the foreseeable future.

“If we had extra dollars available (adding more judges) would be one of the things I’d be interested in considering,” Penner said.

“But there’s a limited amount of money in taxpayers’ pockets. We heard that throughout the HST debate. There’s not an unlimited appetite for taxation.”

Instead, he sees relief coming from various reforms that don’t cost more money.

B

ritish Columbia’s shift last fall to tougher administrative roadside penalties for drivers caught with a blood-alcohol level over 0.05 alarmed some motorists who wondered whether they could drink any alcohol at all on an evening out.

The number of conventional charges police laid against impaired drivers also plunged.

That’s starting to take pressure off the court system.

“If you can get a big reduction – and we’re seeing a 75- to 80-per-cent reduction in the number of new impaired driving cases entering the court system – that creates the opportunity for other matters to be heard sooner,” Penner said.

Impaired cases were taking up to half the time in some B.C. courthouses, he said.

A former lawyer in Chilliwack, Penner recalls drunk driving trials used to take half a day 15 years ago but have ballooned to two days at present.

Eliminating many of the cases may have a profound effect on the court delay problem, Penner said.

According to Penner, in three months from December through February, there were 2,000 fewer impaired driving charges laid in B.C. compared to the same period a year ago as a result of the change.

“It’s not the primary reason we did it,” Penner said, calling the freeing up of court time a “co-benefit.”

The roadside justice may look tougher but some lawyers call it a virtual decriminalization of impaired driving, allowing drunks

Penner counters that the public safety ow much money would it take to results look promising because fewer people simply do what the judges recommend and bring court staffing levels back up now drive after drinking.

Preliminary figures point to a 40-per-cent to what existed six years ago?

Adding 17 judges costs more than strictly drop in the number of impaired drivers on the road and fewer deaths as a result. their annual salaries of about $235,000 “Perhaps 15 people are alive today that each plus pensions and benefits.

Solving the problem would therefore cost But some observers question how much court time will be saved.

The Liberals will also provide Employment Insurance benefits to people caring for family members at home, she said.

The funding for all these things, said Dhanoa, would come from the money the Conservatives are planning to spend on fighter jets.

“We’re going to give it to the provincial governments, and we are going to work together,” Dhanoa said.

Nao Fernando, the NDP candidate for the riding, is back for another swipe at Grewal.

Last election, Fernando was 9,000 votes off a win, but he says this time around it will be very different.

He said Dhanoa will be coming to his aid in splitting the right-wing vote. He said polling he’s seen indicates that it’s a two-way fight between himself and Grewal.

Fernando said the most important issue in the riding is adequate representation.

Grewal, he’s hearing, is rarely seen around the riding.

“Nina’s representing the people of Fleetwood-Port Kells leaves much to be desired,” Fernando said. “I believe that I’m a better representative than Nina could ever hope to be.”

He’s also hearing that health care is upper-most on people’s minds.

Five million people in this country don’t have family doctors, which is unacceptable, said Fernando.

The NDP will hire 200 doctors and 6,000 nurses immediately, he said.

“There’s a huge resource of doctors who are already qualified, but they cannot practice here,” Fernando said, referring to people who have been trained overseas. He would change laws to allow people in that situation to retrain if necessary so they can get to work.

He also said the lack of public trust in the current government is a huge issue for constituents.

Too many scandals, including falsifying information to the House of Commons and altering documents, are rocking public confidence.

Fernando said he would do several things, including increasing openness and transparency in government.

new riding of Fleetwood-Port Kells in 2004 and hasn’t given it up since.

Grewal has handily won all three elections in the riding, but takes nothing for granted as she heads into her fourth campaign.

“You have to run hard like you were running for the first time,” Grewal said.

The most important issue in the riding, Grewal said, is crime.

“Crime is a really big issue in this riding and I believe crime remains a number-one priority in this community,” Grewal said.

She said the Conservatives have run the most comprehensive tough-on-crime agenda out of any of the federal parties.

It’s become harder for people who would carry guns, race their cars or become involved in violent crime, Grewal said, adding the Tories also increased the age of sexual consent.

The second most important issue in the riding, she said, is the economy.

“We are going through a tough ecoQ Total population: 101,200 Q Visible minority: 37,300 Q University degree nomic downturn,” Grewal said. “But or certificate: 12,565 Q Median family income: $66,830 Q Median age: 36 as compared to the rest of the world, under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s – Source: Statistics Canada’s 2006 Census leadership, we have weathered the worst economic recession – better than other G8 nations.” place,” Dhanoa said. “Those are all rich She also noted people are having a She points to almost six quarters of and big companies.

20 Surrey/North Delta Leader Friday, April 15, 2011

Libertarian: Two-tier health care and flat tax From page 19 That would include increasing the access under Freedom of Information laws as well as federal Access to Information legislation.

Alex Joehl, the Libertarian candidate for the riding, wants to introduce a flat tax of 15 per cent across the country.

With everyone paying that same tax, money would be saved in paperwork, allowing the lower rate.

“The administration costs would be just cut to pieces,” Joehl said. “The bureaucracy in Ottawa would be just cut up, and it would actually provide the same revenue.”

With more money in their pockets, people would spend more, giving the economy a much-needed boost.

He also wants to have federal gas levies and taxes returned to the region, where they can be spent on transit and road infrastructure.

“Right now, the money is all going to

Ottawa,” Joehl said. “And Ottawa doles it back out to the provinces as they see fit.”

His third biggest issue is health care, which he believes should be completely privatized. But, he said, that’s big jump.

He would change the Canada Health Act to allow for a twotiered system. “People who want better care should be allowed to go out and get it,” he said.

The Green party had planned to have candidate Alan Sandanha run in the Fleetwood-Port Kells riding.

He resigned Wednesday after The Leader reported a controversial comment had been posted on – then removed from – his Facebook site (see story on page 5 of this issue).

Because the candidate nomination deadline for the May 2 election had already passed, Sandanha’s name will still appear on the ballot.

ing to Surrey for a week of international women’s softball competition.

The defending world champion United States, silver medalist Japan, Venezuela and Australia will compete with Canada (bronze medalists at the 2010 world championships) in the International Invitational tournament at the Canadian Open, scheduled for July 9-17 at Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The tournament is one of four to be staged during the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships. A category for club teams is also part of the week-long competition, with university squads taking to the field.

Add those two competitions to the expanded Futures (under-18) and Showcase (under-16) divisions, and the Canadian Open in 2011 will feature 80 to 100 teams with more than

1,300 players in the largest softball tournament in the country.

“This community has a great legacy of promoting and supporting women’s fastpitch events, and to be the home of one of the three largest tournaments in the world, drawing the top teams and athletes to this event, is extremely exciting,” said Canadian Open chairman Greg Timm.

“This is a huge event for a Canadian city to host and we know this will elevate the level of the sport even higher for our young athletes.”

Entries from Peru, Great Britain, Brazil, Columbia and Canada are confirmed for the Futures tournament, with entries from across North America confirmed for the Showcase event.

Both competitions will have Gold and Select categories.

Local teams entered in the Canadian Open include the Delta Heat, Surrey Storm ’92 and ’93, and White Rock Renegades ’92 and ’94 in the Futures division, and the Heat ’95 and ’96, South Surrey/White Rock Thunder and the Renegades ’95 and ’96 teams in the Showcase category.

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich Pardon the interruption but we’ll be leaving this space for the next several months while racing at Fraser Downs Racetrack takes a breather. With the thoroughbreds running at Hastings Racecourse beginning this weekend, the newly formed BC Horse Racing Management Committee wanted to avoid conflicting dates.

So Friday night will be the last card at The Downs until October 7. We like to refer to it as a ‘split season’.

There’s an early start time, too, for the finale. With 15 races on the card, the first goes at 6:30 p.m. It could be well worth your while to plan on staying the entire evening because there are two featured stakes races you won’t want to miss. Race 12 is the $82,837 Final of the Stallion Stakes for three-year-old colts and geldings. Right after that, Race 13 for $82,500 will the three-year-old fillies in the spotlight.

Not surprisingly, several of the Fraser Downs trainers and drivers have already made plans to keep busy during this west coast lull. The big guy – Ed Hensley – is heading back to the New York circuit.

Hensley wrapped up the drivers and trainers titles again this season and was saluted Monday night as Horseperson of the Year at the Harness Racing BC Standardbred Industry Awards Banquet at Newlands Golf and Country Club.

Last word we had was that Dave Hudon, Scott Knight, Jim Marino, Dave Junquist and Paul Urquhart were all preparing to invade Alberta while Brandon Campbell was heading for Ontario.

Mystic Maiden, winner of the Outstanding Performer award at Monday’s banquet, could be relocating – temporarily, we hope - in Ontario. Trainer Justin Currie is still working on details. The fabulous four-year-old filly won 22 races in 24 starts, including the $100,000 Western Filly Pace and the $35,000 Miss Valentine.

Here’s a toast to our popular trainers and drivers – and Mystic Maiden – all returning to Fraser Downs when the frost is on the pumpkins come next October.

Meantime, here’s hoping we see you at Fraser Downs Friday night. djukich@fraserdowns.com

by Rick Kupchuk WITH ROUGHLY half of the

Junior B team returning for the 2011 season, the Surrey Rebels are looking at their Intermediate B squad to fill the vacant positions.

The West Coast Junior Lacrosse League (WCJLL) team has already moved up one member of the Intermediate squad, hiring Padraic Lawrence to serve as head coach, hoping to improve on last season’s 6-11-3 (won-lost-tied) record.

The Rebels will host the Ridge Meadows Burrards in a preseason contest Monday night at 8 p.m. in the Cloverdale Arena.

The Rebels Intermediate B team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in team history last season, going 4-14-1 in B.C. Intermediate Lacrosse League play.

Only five players are eligible to return and play under a new coaching staff that includes Cam Fielding as head coach, with Braden Wilkins and Marcus Kearney as assistants. All three have played in the Rebels organization.

Returning veterans are Kyle Clarke, Ryan Millen, Steven Munro, Joey Puchmayr and Jerrod Sidhu.

Preseason play concludes with a game next Friday (April 22) against the Nicola Valley (Merritt) Thunder at 8 p.m. in the Cloverdale Arena. sports@surreyleader.com

A Place for All: Building an Inclusive Community in Surrey It is such a simply idea, to be able to provide a healthy, and tasty meal for your family, but many newcomers are unsure of how to use the unfamiliar food that we sometimes take for granted.

in their shoes

As part of the Surrey Foundation’s Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Project the Surrey Food Bank, in partnership with DIVERSEcity, hosted a community kitchen program entitled “What’s For Supper”. The program invited newcomers who access the food bank to take part in a 12 week program that taught them how to properly cook with the foods that are often donated to the food bank.

One thing that all cultures can relate to are comfort foods, we all have them and so this became a focus for the program. Each night was based upon a different theme and members of the program had the opportunity to cook together and share recipes unique to their culture. Not only did this empower these newcomers to use the food to nourish their families but it helped create a sense of community within the food bank.

Many families who access the food bank are low-income and do not have connections within the community. To address this, the food bank invited speakers to come from the community of Surrey to come and talk about the different services are available to these families.

One mother who participated in the “What’s For Supper” program had come to Canada no more than four months earlier. She had three children at home, two of which attend elementary school. This mother had express that her children wanted to try pasta but she had no idea how to make it. One evening the class was based on home-made pasta sauce and the mother was thrilled. She returned the next week and excitedly expressed that she had made the dish at home and that her children had loved it. She was empowered to use the items in the food hamper she received and was able to create something nutritious for her family to enjoy.

On the mound, Jordan Callow got the win, throwing five and twothirds innings and allowing six hits and a pair of walks while striking out five batters.

Shane Wlodarczak was credited with a save, retiring the final four Cannons batters, the last two by strikeout.

urrey Memorial Hospital Foundation’s campaign to help bring new doctors to the region has received more than $3 million in donations so far, as efforts shift to the second half of a goal to raise $5 million by June 1.

Pledges totaling $3,043,322 have been counted during the first 50 days of the 100 Days to Give campaign. The money raised will help the Foundation match a $5 million gift made by entrepreneur Jim Pattison by the time the new Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre opens in June.

“We’re ahead of the game so far,” said foundation president and CEO Jane Adams.

“But we need others during these remaining last days to support health care and help bring us to our goal.”

The foundation’s 100 Days to Give campaign (http://100days.smhfoundation.com/) will help purchase innovative equipment to attract new doctors to the region.

The campaign has already recorded its first major success, with the recruitment of a new neurologist to Surrey.

“This is one of the most difficult specialties to recruit,” said Adams. “We’re
