Surgery cancellations blamed on doctor shortage

by Jeff Nagel

Concern new ORs at SMH expansion could go unused by Jeff Nagel

JUSTICE

ANESTHESIOLOGISTS ARE warning a

shortage of doctors in their specialty is causing surgery cancellations in the Fraser Health region and could leave new operating rooms unused once a major expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital is finished. Operating room slates have been cancelled at SMH a total of 283 times in the past year due to a lack of anaesthesiologists, according to the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society. In the last three months, they say 170 operating room days have been lost across Fraser Health – equivalent to 1,000 cancelled surgerDr. James ies so far this Helliwell year – with half the cancellations in Surrey. Society president Dr. James Helliwell said it’s also a growing problem at Royal Columbian, Eagle Ridge and Abbotsford Regional hospitals.

“We’ve been looking all over the world and we still can’t get enough people to come here.”

ateful words gradually became hurtful blows. She endured weeks of it before summoning the strength to walk out the door and turn to the police, transition houses and courts for help. Punjabi-speaking counsellors and police officers were supportive and she prayed for a quick resolution, knowing she would face enormous pressure from her husband’s family not to shame their son. But months later, after numerous court adjournments, frustration and tears – but no trial – she gave up. She went back to her abusive spouse. Sad stories such as this are becoming more common in B.C.’s congested justice system. Spousal assault cases are high priority and aren’t at risk of being thrown out due to excessive delays like many impaired driving cases and some other criminal prosecutions. But advocates say the time to get to trial is getting longer. And the wait can spawn tragic consequences. “When it’s delayed for a long time, normally we lose our victims,” Surrey Women’s Centre program manager Maryan said. A Black Press “They go back to special series their husbands. They investigating the get repeatedly assaulted. congestion and It’s like a revolving door.” delays in B.C.’s Domestic abuse cases legal system. are supposed to move through the courts within three months. But in Surrey and some other B.C. centres, that time period often stretches to four or six months. And Majedi notes that’s after time has elapsed for the police to investigate and prosecutors to approve and lay charges – often bringing the wait for a trial to a year following the assault. Court delays are particularly difficult for South Asian women, said Manbeen Saini, a community-based victim services worker in Surrey.

Former Surrey resident leads animal rescue work in Japan PETA Asia on scene in disaster zone Black Press HOURS AFTER the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan March 11, veteran

animal rescuer and former Surrey resident Ashley Fruno was in the Manila airport, waiting for a flight to Tokyo. The PETA Asia senior campaigner managed to get a seat on the very first flight into Tokyo’s re-opened airport and immediately travelled to the worst-hit coastal areas of Japan. Walking for kilometres a day and sleeping in her car, Fruno provided vital food, water and care to animals that were abandoned when citizens fled to evacuation centres. Because of Fruno’s immediate action, PETA Asia was the first international animal rights group to reach affected areas in Japan. “So many animals were left to face this disaster on their own when their guardians were forced to evacuate without them,” said Fruno. “We urge families around the world to make emergency plans for their animals today – before disaster strikes – because nobody should have to make a heartbreaking choice between their dogs and cats and their own safety.” Because many evacuation centres in the area do not allow companion animals, many people have Ashley Fruno had to choose between staying in unstable, damaged homes with their dogs and cats and abandoning them to fend for themselves. Fruno visited the worst-affected areas in the city of Sendai in search of animals that needed help, assisted crowded animal shelters, and distributed dog food to families who were unable to purchase their own supplies. The animals helped by Fruno included a cat who had been retrieved from a decimated house by a soldier and an injured dog, Shane, who swam through floodwaters to be reunited with his owner. Although her mother grew up on a dairy farm and her grandfather was president of the local rodeo board, Fruno has always cared about animals. Now, Fruno is based in Manila, where she coordinates campaigns, web pages, marketing projects, investigations and the internship program for PETA Asia. In addition to her animal rescue efforts – including in the Philippines following Tropical Storm Ondoy – she has participated in eye-catching demonstrations in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, and elsewhere around the world. For more information, visit PETA.org.

Japanese radiation detectable in B.C. Minute levels measured; health ofﬁcials say there is no risk by Jeff Nagel HEALTH OFFICIALS say sensors in B.C. have now detected “minute” levels of radiation com-

ing here from Japan’s leaking nuclear reactors. But they continue to assure the public there is no cause for residents here to worry because of the dispersal of radioactive particles across thousands of kilometres of ocean. “These amounts are negligible and do not pose a health risk to British Columbians,” the B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) said in an update posted Monday. “We are expecting very slight increases in radiation until a week after the reactors are stabilized,” it said. “These are not cause for concern, and are smaller than the normal day-to-day fluctuations typically seen in B.C.” BCCDC officials say the radiation levels arriving from Japan are tiny compared to other natural sources of exposure for B.C. residents, including rocks and soil, ultraviolet radiation from the sun and cosmic radiation from space. Levels so far detected are at 0.0005 microsieverts per day, according to data from Health Canada’s Radiation Protection Bureau and released by the BCCDC. By comparison, a dental X-ray is about 10 microsieverts – or 20,000 times as much. Passengers on a cross-country airline flight can be exposed to 30 microsieverts or 60,000 times as much.

And a CT scan can expose a person to between 5,000 and 30,000 microsieverts – more than 10 million times as much as the increased daily exposure in B.C. from the Japanese radiation plume. In other words, it would take more than 27,000 years of exposure at the current slightly elevated levels of radiation from Japan in B.C. to equal the exposure from a single CT scan. “It’s minute, to the point of insignificant,” said a Health Canada official. Canadians on average are exposed to 5.5 to 8.2 microsieverts per day, or 2,000 to 3,000 per year, from all sources, most of which are natural. Before the nuclear crisis, baseline radiation readings at stations in Vancouver, Victoria and Sidney were well below the national average, ranging from 0.22 to 0.44 microsieverts per day. Health Canada is also adding nine more radiation monitoring stations in B.C., in addition to six units already in place along the coast. Residents are urged not to take or stockpile potassium iodide, which should be taken only when recommended by doctors and can otherwise cause side effects. The Japanese nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has caused partial meltdowns at multiple reactors, releasing large amounts of radiation and triggering a massive evacuation of that region. The crisis is currently rated as severe as the Three Mile Island disaster in the U.S. but still well short of the 1986 Chernobyl reactor fire that contaminated large areas of eastern Europe.

Anesthesiologists: Are working 70-hour weeks From page 1 “We’re not talking about just one or two closures but hundreds of closures,” he said. “Patients are not getting surgery in a timely fashion and the wait list is growing.” Anesthesiology is one of the only specialties where a shortage exists in the Lower Mainland, despite repeated recruitment drives extending across Canada and overseas. Most of Fraser Health has now been declared an under-serviced area, Helliwell said, and foreign-trained anaesthesiologists whose certification is not recognized in Canada are now being hired as a result. “We’ve been looking all over the world and we still can’t get enough people to come here,” he said. Helliwell said the situation is even more dire outside the Lower Mainland, noting half the operating rooms in Vernon are closed at any given time because of the shortage of anesthesiologists. “We need to sit down

Operating rooms are not being used to their full potential, according to the B.C. Anaesthesiologists’ Society. with government and find ways to make the work-life balance better,” he said, adding anesthesiologists work upwards of 70 hours a week in Surrey and Abbotsford. That’s prompting more anaesthesiologists here to leave the province, he said, and for older doctors in the field to retire sooner than planned. He also proposes system reforms like hiring “physician extenders” – lower-cost aides who would support anesthesiologists. Helliwell said that’s increased productivity dramatically and

reduced net costs at some hospitals in Quebec and Ontario. Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said the shortage of anesthesiologists is “an ongoing challenge.” He could not confirm the number of OR slates and surgeries cancelled as a result. “We are actively recruiting for current and future needs,” he said, adding the health authority remains optimistic it will be seen as an appealing place to work, particularly as hospital expansions proceed.

Fourteen anesthesiologists have been hired since 2008 and just over 100 are now working across the region. According to the health ministry, the average full-time anesthesiologist now bills $340,000 a year and sees 10 per cent fewer patients than a decade ago. And they increasingly work part-time rather than full-time, averaging 153 days worked a year. The anesthesiologists spoke out after Premier Christy Clark and health minister Mike de Jong on Monday staged a high-profile official launch at the site of the Surrey Memorial expansion. The $512-million project will add an eight-storey critical care tower and new emergency department five times the size of the current one. Nearing completion just to the northeast in Surrey is the $237-million Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, which adds several operating rooms for day surgery. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Last year, 50 per cent of Canadians reportedly participated in Earth Hour; strong evidence, I think, that Canadians are looking for action on climate change. For even stronger evidence, look at the new poll conducted for the World Wildlife Federation which found that 84 per cent of Canadians are “as convinced or more convinced than last year that urgent action is necessary on climate change.” Climate change is ultimately about how we produce and use energy. So switching from non-renewable to renewable energy as quickly as possible and finding ways conserve and use energy more efficiently are ultimately the keys to solving climate change. Something to think about for an important hour on March 26. Mike Taylor, Port Moody

‘I read this article while my blood boiled.’ Readers respond to Leader special series RE: “COURTS in crisis,” The Leader, March 18.

I read this article while my blood boiled. Consider the case now in a B.C. court of a woman beaten and almost strangled to death. The accused, who faces charges including assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats, a serious charge, has three times failed to show up for court appearances, only to be arrested and again and then released on bail to walk free. This case is now in danger of being tossed. Are no-shows like these a strategy to use the clogged court system to get serious charges dropped? Shouldn’t we hold chronic system abusers in jail until their trial – at least in cases where they’ve skipped out repeatedly? The problem is threefold: a chronically underfunded system in one of the wealthiest provinces in Canada; judges who are more than likely reluctant to incarcerate such abusers due to the costs of incarceration and lack of space to house them (ever hear of a work-farm or tentprison?); and a system that for some reason has to set a date just to set a date for trial. Why wouldn’t we just send an accused a notice that they are to be in court for trial on such and such a date? Or how about using our sheriffs to personally notify such accused of their impending court date? Or how about notifying their employers that they are required to be given time off from work to attend court? Seems too easy. It is lunacy and much of it can be addressed by trimming the procedural nonsense inside the system as well as our provincial government giving the courts the funds it so desperately requires to do the job of trying these accused and usually chronic offenders. It’s really not that complicated, is it? I have

read that a sitting judge and staff to support them costs $1 million per year. In this province, we can’t afford $15 million per year more from our budget to alleviate this problem and see justice served by immediately adding 15 more judges? How about 10 only then? Sounds like a simple solution for our new premier who touts “family first”. Of course, family first wouldn’t mean tolerating domestic abuse, would it? I mean it isn’t it a serious crime when a woman is beaten, loses her residence and possessions and has to live with practically none of her own belongings awaiting the trial of her attacker for well over a year?

When can we expect closure? THANK YOU to reporter

Jeff Nagel for writing this article (“Courts in crisis”). Our son was killed in November 2009 by an impaired driver. The accused was charged in August 2010. We have been notified by the court that a preliminary inquiry will not occur until March 2012. We have expressed our concern regarding the risk of unreasonable delay to the Crown counsel and to date have not had a reply.

Our experience with the court system has been disappointing one. Our dead son is relegated to a number in the system. Crown counsel does not communicate any more to us than available through the court registry. Unlike the accused we have attended all appearances and experienced the delays with mounting frustration. Most were at the request of defense. One was because the assigned Crown counsel had gone on vacation. As victims of this crime we have no recourse other than to rely on the Crown. We have no advocate to represent our interests in respect to avoiding delays. We the victims of this crime have no Charter rights regarding delay of trial. Due to the serious nature of the charges Dan Anders against the accused we have petitioned the Surrey, B.C. Attorney General to proceed by direct indictment. This normally has to be a rrequest from the Crown Counsel but we are desperate. w To date the accused has spent o one night in jail and had a 90 day driving suspension. Every day this person goes without trial is an affront to our son’s life and our society. Every day we are reminded of our son’s death and suffer the anguish of delays and uncertainty. Where is tthe justice? When can we expect closure? cclos A Black Press I’m sure we are not the only special series ffamily in this situation. Please investigating the ccontinue to educate the public aand demand answers from our congestion and ggovernment. delays in B.C.’s legal system.

No need for federal election NO, WE do not need a federal election right now, especially given we will have one in two years time. Yes, we will probably have one anyway. We do not need an election because, in the broadest sense, the choices have altered little since 2008 when Canadians last went to the polls, and the opposition parties Liberal and NDP, have shown us that there is no alternative. Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper remains widely popular. Jack Layton’s New Democrats are still trying to refashion a place for themselves in the ideological spectrum. While the Liberals have a new leader in Michael Ignatieff, as a party they have far less to say than they did last year when Stéphane Dion was at the helm. In 2008 we had an unnecessary election because Harper thought he could upgrade his government from minority to majority status. He failed. Now, we face the possibility of an unnecessary election because Ignatieff and Layton think they can feather their nests. We shall see if they are correct. I highly doubt it. William Perry, Victoria

Full circle

SO THE new premier is raising the

minimum wage to $10.25 and hour. We have just seen the paradox of the B.C. Liberal philosophy in action. What’s brought this in is, logically, is an increased cost of living in BC. How did this happen? The only thing I can think of that’s increased cost of living across the board is the HST. Well then, what’s the benefit of having the HST? It saves businesses money – money they now have to spend paying entry-level employees more. So we brought in a tax on consumers to save businesses money, and now our government is making companies give aforementioned savings to consumers. The “circle of life” designed by our Mickey Mouse government is complete. The end result? British Columbians break even. Why not cut out the middle man and scrap the HST? It would have the same result, except for one thing: inflation. So we all know which province is to blame when the Canadian dollar becomes the new peso. Jordan Braun, deputy leader B.C.

Falcon likes the direction of the latest federal budget, but he is prepared for the likelihood that it will lead to the defeat of the Conservative government in Ottawa. Falcon declined to speculate about the effect of a possible May federal election on the upcoming Harmonized Sales Tax referendum or a B.C. election that could come later this year. He said corporate tax cuts maintained by federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty would combine with provincial rates to give B.C. the lowest corporate taxes of any jurisdiction in the G7 industrialized countries by next year. Falcon added that he is encouraged by Ottawa’s latest plan to reduce the federal deficit by a quarter this year and continue progress until Canada is back to balanced budgets by 2015-16.

Saip â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for possible election Delta Board of Education chair wins Conservative nomination by Christine Lyon IF THE FEDERAL government

asks Canadians to go to the polls this spring, newly elected Conservative candidate Dale Saip says he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to do whatever I need to do.â&#x20AC;? The Delta Board of Education chair won the nomination to represent the federal Conservative party in Delta-Richmond East Monday night, just nine days after Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced current MP John Cummins, along with fellow MPs Stockwell Day and Chuck Stahl, will not stand for re-election. The typically two-monthlong nomination and membership drive process was compressed into one week so the riding has a candidate should the House fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever shirked away from a challenge or a game-time decision. Whatever Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m called on to do Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do,â&#x20AC;? Saip said. After four counts of the ballots on Monday, Saip finished with 78 votes, while secondplace Richmond lawyer KerryLynne Findlay received 66 votes in the single transferable ballot system whereby voters rank candidates in order of preference. Eliminated in the previous rounds of vote counting were former Delta Chamber of Commerce president Maria DeVries, Richmond realtor Keith Roy, and Howard Jampolsky, who is on the Conservative Delta-Richmond East board of directors. Only those signed up as party members since before Feb. 25 were allowed to take part in the vote. Of 500 eligible voters in

the riding, just under 150 cast their ballots Monday night. Riding president Don Brooks said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;ecstaticâ&#x20AC;? with the turnout, given the short notice, and estimated at least 200 people were seated in the meeting room at Ladnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sundance Inn, with 100 more standing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a very powerful show of democracy and action,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said. In his candidate speech, Saip, 51, talked about his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming roots in Southern Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My heritage is of conservative values and so is my heart. I value family, fiscal responsibility and small government that lets people make their own choices,â&#x20AC;? he told the crowd. Born and raised in Richmond, Saip now lives in Tsawwassen with his wife. He was first elected to the Delta school board in 1987 and has served six terms as chair. He has also served six terms as president of the Ladner

Business Association, is on the board of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society, and is vicepresident of business development for the Vancouver Giants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This riding deserves an experienced political veteran that has served and been elected, not someone that will need on-the-job training,â&#x20AC;? he said. He told voters he believes Canada needs a majority Conservative government and said one of his goals is to ensure the Liberals do not roll back tax cuts. If elected, Saip said major issues affecting DeltaRichmond East he will bring to Ottawa are making fisheries healthy, protecting agriculture in the face of urbanization, and developing a strong, sustainable economy. Outgoing MP John Cummins, 69, was first elected MP in Delta in 1993. He did not attend the candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting because of his duties in Ottawa, but left a letter which Don Brooks read aloud. In the note, Cummins said he had received several complaints about a phone message â&#x20AC;&#x153;in which it could be inferredâ&#x20AC;? he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;supporting a particular candidate.â&#x20AC;? But Cummins ensured he â&#x20AC;&#x153;deliberately maintained a neutral position throughout the nomination processâ&#x20AC;? and favoured no one. Cummins has told The South Delta Leader he has been receiving support to make the switch to provincial politics and take on the role as leader of the B.C. Conservative party. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with files from Philip Raphael reporter@peacearchnews.com

B.C. on collision course with teachers Negotiation expected to be difďŹ cult as June 30 contract deadline approaches by Tom Fletcher THE ONLY negotiated contract the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (BCTF) has ever signed is running out June 30, and prospects for a new one are growing dimmer. At a news conference at the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual convention in Victoria on Monday, BCTF president Susan Lambert refused to specify how large a salary increase the executive will propose as negotiations get underway. But she said B.C. teachers have fallen from third highest-paid in Canada to eighth since 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, a beginning

teacher working in Golden right now, right on the B.C.-Alberta border, makes almost $10,000 a year less than a beginning teacher in Banff,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the top of the scale itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even worse. An experienced teacher in Banff earns more than $16,000 a year more than a teacher with the same credentials in Golden.â&#x20AC;? Lambert called on the B.C. government to change the â&#x20AC;&#x153;net zeroâ&#x20AC;? compensation mandate imposed two years ago when the province was hit by a global recession. Education Minister George Abbott said Monday the net zero

mandate applies to the BCTF as well as other unions. The restriction that wage increases can only be approved if they are offset by other savings has produced agreements with about two thirds of provincial employees so far, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate that will perhaps make discussions with the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; federation a challenging one, but I think there are a great many issues that we can discuss in relation to both the student performance within the B.C. education system and the teacher satisfaction within the B.C. education system,â&#x20AC;? Abbott said.

The BCTF signed its current five-year deal when the provincial government was in surplus and offering signing bonuses to all the government unions. Teachers got signing bonuses of $3,700 with another $1,000 each for a settlement longer than three years, as well as pay and benefits increases totalling 16 per cent over five years. It was the only time since the BCTF was turned into a union by the Social Credit government in the 1980s that a contract was negotiated rather than imposed by legislation, usually after a strike in public schools.

Lambert said a recent survey of teachers shows that class size and special needs support, not money, is the top issue for teachers. The BCTF is awaiting a ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court this spring on its challenge to legislation that removed class size and support staff levels from the teacher contract. In addition to the legal action, the union still has â&#x20AC;&#x153;tens of thousandsâ&#x20AC;? of grievances in process over individual class size and composition in schools across the province, Lambert said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

On the night of April 5, 2010, Delta police responded to a report of two suspicious persons wearing masks and walking toward a local convenience store in the 1500 block of 56 Street. One of them was carrying a shotgun. Both were arrested and charged with robbery; use of an

imitation firearm in the commission of an offence; and disguised face with intent to commit an offence. The arresting officer, Const.

Cop yet to be interviewed over shooting Saanich police say Surrey Mountie eager to tell his version of fatal event by Kevin Diakiw THE POLICE OFFICER involved in a fatal shooting

three weeks ago has yet to be interviewed by investigators. On March 2, the Saanich Police Department was called in to investigate a police-involved fatal shooting of 28-year-old Adam Brian Purdie. Saanich Police Department spokesman Sgt. Dean Jantzen told The Leader Tuesday most interviews have been completed and investigators are just waiting on forensics. It is not clear when the formal interview with the officer who shot Purdie will be conducted. “He’s fulfilled his obligations under the RCMP Act, to report what happened,” Jantzen said. “Next is to arrange for a formal interview and it just hasn’t happened yet.” He points out informal discussions have taken place with the officer in the presence of his lawyer, and that the officer Adam Purdie was shot by police. is eager to tell his side of the story. “He wants to tell his version of events,” Jantzen said. “It just has not been a formal interview.” Purdie was pulled over in the 15400 block of 16 Avenue, just after 11 p.m. when Surrey RCMP noticed a firearm in the back seat. Purdie sped away in his 2006 White Chrysler 300 and headed north, where he ran over a police spike belt at Highway 10 and King George Highway. Police then hemmed him in with their vehicles. The first officer to approach the car, a Surrey Mountie with six years experience on the force, was the one who shot the man. Jentzen said earlier this month that Purdie was in possession of a modified assault rifle, which was found in his lap, with the barrel pointed in the direction of the officer. The investigation continues. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Pre-paid opposition 90 per cent surveyed disagree with BC Ferries decision by Jeff Nagel

EXTENDED UNTIL SUNDAY TH MARCH 27 10 am - 7 pm Daily

THERE’S WIDESPREAD opposition to BC Ferries’ decision to stop honouring certain types of pre-paid ferry tickets, according to a poll paid for by the Consumers Association of Canada. The Angus Reid survey found 90 per cent of B.C. residents want all types of pre-paid fares either honoured or reimbursed and a similar proportion say the provincial government should intervene if necessary. CAC president Bruce Cran said the results are more evidence the ferry corporation

should back down from its plan to keep $1.2 million worth of assured-loading tickets or cards bought in advance by nearly 16,000 customers. “I think it’s finally come to a head with this vicious grab of pre-paid money that in the past people have been able to use or roll over,” Cran said. “We’re hoping that Premier Christy (Clark) will be guided by the wishes of the people and do something to straighten this ferry situation out.” BC Ferries says the pre-paid passes for assured loading on major routes always expired after

two years, but last year it began enforcing the policy, making the cards useless six months after the expiry date. Users were given repeated email warnings in advance. Previously, customers could roll unused balances over into a new card. Meanwhile, ferry riders are bracing for fare increases that kick in April 1. The fare for a car and driver crossing from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island climbs $2 to $61.50, while walkon passengers will pay $14.25, up 50 cents. jnagel@surreyleader.com

A LEADER SPECIAL SERIES

FACES OF DELAY: Matthew Heenan

Matthew Heenan of Coldstream B.C. was killed crossing the street in Kelowna nearly a year and a half ago. The man accused of being impaired behind the wheel when he hit Heenan isn’t scheduled to go to trial until 2012.

The parents of a B.C. man struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver in November 2009 fear the man charged with their son’s death won’t have to face any consequences.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

by Jeff Nagel MATTHEW HEENAN was crossing a downtown Kelowna street with friends after leaving a nightclub Nov. 22, 2009 when he was mowed down by an alleged drunk driver. The 23-year-old Coldstream, B.C. resident was pronounced dead just over an hour later. The driver was charged last August with impaired driving causing death and causing

an accident resulting in death. Matthew’s parents, Mike and Jo Heenan, have now been told a preliminary inquiry won’t happen until March of 2012. They’re fearful the case against their son’s accused killer will be thrown out on grounds of the unreasonable delay in getting to trial. Even if the trial proceeds by fall of 2012, that will be more than two years since charges were laid – deep in the danger zone where judges can be compelled to agree the

wait has violated the rights of the accused. “We are desperate,” Mike Heenan said. They have appealed directly to B.C.’s Attorney General to proceed by direct indictment, eliminating the need for a preliminary inquiry – an unusual step that would normally have to be initiated by Crown prosecutors. So far, the accused 49-year-old West Kelowna man has spent one day in jail and had a 90-day driving suspension. “Our dead son is relegated to a num-

ber in the system,” Heenan said, adding Matthew worked at Kal Tire and was about to retrain as an autobody technician. “Every day this person goes without trial is an affront to our son’s life and our society,” he said. “Every day we are reminded of our son’s death and suffer the anguish of delays and uncertainty. Where is the justice? When can we expect closure?” jnagel@surreyleader.com

Clogged courts: ‘Heartbreaking’ for families From page 1 “The family is wanting her to drop charges, not even understanding that she can’t do that,” Saini said, explaining that prosecutors decide to pursue legal action. “The longer it stays in the court system, the more pressure she’s going to get.” And when battered women give up on the courts, Saini said, it’s usually forever. “They say they’re never going to the police again,” she said. “I hear it all the time. “So what message are we sending out? What justice is this?”

It took a year and a half to get a date for trial to decide permanent custody – September 2011 – by which time the kids will have been in government custody for four years. “It’s staggering,” Muliner said. “And it’s going to get worse.” Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, is also concerned. “These delays are really tarnishing the reputation of our

onger delays for all sorts of court proceedings are the result of cuts in the number of provincial court judges in B.C., coupled with shortages of sheriffs, clerks and other support staff. Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C Crown Counsel Association, calls the situation a “deliberate” and “systematic” stripping of the critical resources the justice system needs to function – a policy that increasingly exacts a human toll. Prosecutors worry not just that abused women will go back to violent partners, but also that memories of sexually abused children will fade, their testimony will be less persuasive, and offenders will go free. Families are also waiting longer for the courts to decide matters such as which parent will have custody of the children, finalizing divorces and setting child support payments. “It’s heartbreaking for the parents of children in foster care,” said Kamloops family lawyer Brenda Muliner. She represents a couple in Nelson fighting to regain custody of their children who were apprehended by child protection workers in 2007.

justice system for British Columbia’s families,” she said. Child protection workers from the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development can knock on a door and remove children from a home based on evidence that is often disputed. That power exists, Turpel-Lafond said, on the understanding parents have a speedy right to challenge the removal, with the courts either upholding it and issuing a temporary custody order or else returning wrongfully apprehended children. Child protection applications are supposed to be heard

within three months. But Turpel-Lafond said the average wait in B.C. is more than four months and she’s aware of waits of eight months and longer at courts in Surrey, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Prince George and parts of Vancouver Island. New hearings in those areas are being scheduled in 2012 – and those are in best-case scenarios where parents quickly obtain legal aid, another major trouble spot. “We’re dealing with a system that makes a mockery of that timeline,” Turpel-Lafond said. “Childhood is short. It’s 988 weeks. If you spend 50 weeks waiting for a hearing because you can’t get a court date, that is just completely unacceptable.” Families sometimes give up and move on, she said, and the child falls permanently into the custody of government. In custody battles between parents, Turpel-Lafond said, delays mean child view reports – which guide the court on how much time kids want to spend with each parent – are often a year out of date when the hearing gets to court, by which time children’s wishes may have changed. The need for speed may be just as important when youths are charged with crimes. Consequences of actions simply aren’t as meaningful for young people if it takes a year or longer to get to trial, she said, calling the youth criminal justice system “remarkably backlogged.” The victims of youth crime are often other young people, who also end up waiting longer for closure. Provincial court judges have recently signalled family court delays have grown unacceptable and have directed a shifting of court time, which could come at the cost of criminal matters. In other words, even more delays. Also see LONG COURT WAITS / Page 20

Jeremy Deacon and other Surrey ﬁreﬁghters help load Princess Irene tulips as part of Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation’s annual Tulips for Tomorrow spring bloom.

Tulips for Tomorrow Fourth annual bloom recognizes SMH Foundation supporters Black Press THOUSANDS of Princess Irene tulips are once again on display as Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation celebrates its donors. Close to 600 planter pots full of tulips make up the fourth annual Tulips for Tomorrow spring bloom, including public displays of tulips at Surrey Memorial Hospital, Guildford Town Centre, Holland Park and Bear Creek Park. The tulips will bloom during the coming weeks as part of the Foundation’s campaign to support the hospital and beautify the community. In addition, Princess Irene tulips can be found in front of

dozens of businesses that have contributed a minimum of $5,000 to the Foundation during the last year. Donors who have given between $1,000 and $4,999 in the past year are receiving invitations by mail to pick up their tulips during business hours on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26 at 99 Nursery and Florist near Surrey Memorial Hospital. Several businesses have once again partnered with the Foundation to provide the tulip bulbs, soil, planter pots, storage, landscaping, delivery, signage, and creative services for Tulips for Tomorrow. Visit www.tulipsfortomorrow. com for a complete list of Tulips

for Tomorrow partners. This year, the spring bloom takes place while the Foundation is in the midst of its 100 Days to Give campaign, which is looking to match a $5 million donation from BC entrepreneur Jim Pattison. The combined $10 million in donations will help purchase medical equipment to attract new doctors to the region. Visit http://100days.smhfoundation.com/ for more information. Established in 1992, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has raised more than $55 million to purchase medical equipment, fund innovative programs, and support training and research.

Crash injures senior

by Tracy Holmes A SENIOR injured in

a dramatic three-car pileup on Pacific Highway March 9 remains in critical condition in hospital. “He’s stabilized, but obviously in critical condition,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger confirmed Monday. The 77-year-old and his 39-year-old son were airlifted to hospital

after the Ford F150 they were travelling in collided with a commercial cargo truck at the intersection of 24 Avenue and 176 Street. Impact crushed the Ford’s front end and sent the commercial truck airborne. It flipped, landing on its side on top of a westbound black Jeep that had been waiting on 24 Avenue. The Jeep driver, a 26-year-old Langley

woman, and the male commercial-truck driver, a 25-year-old Surrey man, were taken to hospital and released. It remains unclear exactly how the collision unfolded. At the scene, different witnesses said the commercial truck was either northbound on Pacific Highway (176 Street) or eastbound on 24 Avenue – and the Ford either westbound on 24th or southbound on

the highway – when the collision occurred. Police are also considering the possibility the Ford was northbound on the highway at the time. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to have contributed to the crash. All of the vehicles involved are to undergo an inspection to rule out mechanical failure. Investigation is ongoing. tholmes@peacearchnews.com

Kordas qualifies

A Place for All: Building an Inclusive Community in Surrey

Gordie Kordas of the Surrey Gymnastics Society has qualified for the Canadian Championships in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in May. Kordas, 16, placed second all around after two days of competition at the Men’s Elite Canada competition in Brampton, Ontario last weekend. Competing in the High Performance Tyro category, Kordas placed third on pommel horse, fourth on floor and high bar and fifth on parallel bars.

Surrey’s Welcoming & Inclusive Communities Project encourages both newcomers and Canadians to build relationships and connections across all the ethnic communities found in Surrey. To facilitate this, the Surrey Foundation has awarded funding to 6 innovative community projects that proactively contribute to making Surrey a more welcoming community. One of these projects explores employment opportunities in libraries.

Opening Doors to Employment in Libraries By far, the largest problem newcomers face is finding employment. To help overcome this barrier, the Surrey Public Library, in connection with Options Social Services, has developed a workshop entitled Opening Doors to Employment in Libraries. The workshop introduces newcomers to different entry level jobs available in any library setting. Though this workshop does not necessarily secure participants a job at the library, it opens their eyes to job opportunities that they might not otherwise have thought of, as well as the types of skills employers might be looking for that they have. It also showcases volunteer opportunities, job search resources and finally, provides a certificate of completion. This highly successful program is helping newcomers take that first step in building their Canadian experience in the workplace, critical in an environment where it can be discouraging and difficult to find employment without any connections. To learn more about Welcoming & Inclusive Communities we encourage you to register for our Community Forum on April 16, 2011. Learn more at www.wicsurrey.org or www.surreyfoundation.org

Spring has finally arrived. With the long-waited warmth comes the spring thaw – and with it, the danger of water damage. Water damage can appear slowly, such as a water spot, or be instantaneous. Either way, it almost always results in rotting wood, mold, rusting metal – and devastating costs. That’s why, if water causes damage to your home, BCAA advises you to act quickly to prevent further damage. Follow these steps to get started:

c. Black water is mainly from sewage and other contaminated water sources. It is highly unsanitary and can cause severe illness. People with compromised immune systems, respiratory problems or allergies, or who are under 2 years or elderly should leave the house. 4. Next, determine the source of the water leak - only if safe to do so. This will help determine what kind of contractor you need to help remedy the problem. It’s important to think safety first – if you have black water, it’s best to vacate the home.

INSURANCE OUTLOOK

1. Locate and shut off your main water supply line to prevent further water from entering your home.

HOME INSURANCE WITH LORI TAYLOR

2. Contact your insurance company first as they can start your claim and send out help get the clean-up started. 3. Determine what kind of water you are dealing with. There are three types of water that have varying effects on your health: a. Clean water typically results from an overflowing sink or a leaky appliance hose. It does not pose a health risk. b. Grey water typically results from toilet bowls, dishwashers or washing machines. It contains some contaminants and could cause sickness.

5. Prop up furniture in the water damage area to keep it off the ground. Also, remove valuables and keepsakes. Avoid taking the wet furniture to a dry room as this could spread the contamination. Last, but not least, ensure you have adequate home insurance coverage. Some water losses are limited in coverage, so it’s necessary to have a yearly review of your coverage needs with an experienced BCAA Insurance Advisor. For more information on preventing water damage, consult your local BCAA Insurance Advisor today or visit www.bcaa.com/water.

Manmord Sidhu was looking to capture something real in his new movie about one man’s descent into crime, drugs and gangs

Immigrant’s dream, Canadian nightmare By Jennifer Lang

urrey co-stars in Canadian Dream, a movie about a young man’s descent into organized crime that marks the feature film debut of a local filmmaker. With a plot straight out of the headlines, Canadian Dream tells the story of Armar, an immigrant who arrives with hopes of a better life, but when he loses his job, his path takes a dark detour into B.C.’s underworld of drugs, guns and gangs. It’s a contemporary look at one facet of the immigrant experience in Surrey – from the inside. Writer and director Manmord Sidhu, a Cloverdale resident and Vancouver Film School graduate who came to Canada from India in 2003, says it’s based on a true story. He was still in film school when he began searching for a subject for his first feature-length film. “I was looking for a reality-based script, something real,” Sidhu said. “I got a chance to see a guy who had done all this stuff [in the film], and his partner.” Much of the action is set in Surrey, with scenes shot in Cloverdale, Whalley, North Delta and Vancouver. The story doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities of gang activity and its impact on the Indo-Canadian community. Between 1991 and 2004, there were dozens of shootings in greater Vancouver – a region Sidhu says remains a magnet for gang activity, drugs and violence for “unscrupulous young Indian men.” In casting a group of mostly unknown actors – many have never appeared on camera before – Sidhu hoped to capture a gritty realism in portraying the culture. “All the actors are new,” he said, adding auditions took 20 days. “They’re from Surrey. There’s only two or three who have never acted before.” Staying true to his cinematic vision meant financing and distributing the film himself.

The result is quite different from groups in either of the traditions, said Geoff Giffin, who is using the concert to launch his new production company, Peninsula Productions, which aims to bring different, high quality concerts to the White Rock and South Surrey scene. “I first heard Ensemble Galilei play a few years ago when I was living in Maryland and promptly fell in love,” Giffin said. “When I found out they were doing a West Coast tour I knew they would be perfect for Peninsula Productions’ first concert.” Tickets ($25) are available from Tapestry Music, First United Church, the Surrey Arts Centre box office (604-501-5566) and online at https://tickets.surrey.ca

Disney Dreams, Snow White Discovers the Cottage

Avenue Productions, is currently in rehearsal for its inaugural production, the Canadian classic Waiting For The Parade, by John Murrell. Presenting a view of the Second World War through the eyes of five very different women living in Calgary, the show, directed by company founder Wendy Bollard, will run from April 28 to May 7 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Both a professional actor and singer, Bollard said she is no stranger to the soundscape of World War Two-era songs, which will add emotional poignancy to the production. She has sung many of them – including a personal favourite, I’ll Be Seeing You – as the leader of her own band and as a vocalist with Dal Richards Orchestra. But she also chose the play as the first for the company because she has long loved the script and the story it tells – and she hopes to achieve an as-ithappened immediacy and authenticity that makes the era fresh to audiences. These women didn’t know whether the war would be over in 10 days or 10 years – how do you keep your spirits up through something like that?,” she said. To add extra authenticity, Bollard said, she has interviewed local women who lived through the war. For ticket information, visit www.16thave productions.com or call 604-536-7535.

An Ovation performance Rising starts coming to Delta church Black Press TWO RISING singer-

songwriters will perform in Delta on April 9. Kristin Fung and Christine Magee will perform at 7 p.m. at Cedar Park Church (5300 44 Ave.) during the ongoing Ovation performance series. Having won the E.V. Young Award for her acting in “The King and I” at Theatre Under the Stars, and debuting in the 2010 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival at Granville Island, Fung is a vibrant soul, R&B and pop singer who is inspired by Sharon Jones, the Dap Kings, Sarah Vaughan and Stevie Wonder. Fung holds a classical voice degree from UBC and fronted the Good Noise Vancouver Gospel Choir as a soloist in their 2008 and 2009 seasons. Tsawwassen’s Magee will sing solos and will collaborate on some

Kristin Fung songs with Fung. Also receiving her bachelor’s of music from UBC, Magee now runs an active music studio teaching piano, voice and guitar in Tsawwassen as well as performing across Canada as a soloist and with ensembles such as chamber vocal ensemble Musica Intima. Magee has been composing and arranging music since 2002 and debuted her first album, Overcome in 2007. She was awarded “Best Jazz and Blues Song of the Year” at the GMA

Canada Awards. Her style combines soul-pop, jazz, gospel, to rock with a classical edge on the piano. The Ovation performances benefit local charitable organizations and causes such as the Delta Hospice Society, the Community Fund of Faith and the Little House Society. The April 9 concert, produced by Michelle Jones, will support the “Imagine That” Arts Camp that will run this summer at the church.

Buyers line up in Richmond. Lineups of eager homebuyers aren’t anything new for Polygon Homes – they’ve experienced several queues of excited purchasers at their new projects throughout Metro Vancouver in recent months. “Each one seems to build on the success of the last,” says Polygon’s Ralph Archibald. Homebuyers were lining up again on the weekend for the chance to purchase a Polygon home. The lineups started early in the morning at Mayfair Place, Polygon Homes’ latest offering in Richmond’s Alexandra Gardens. The project offers one-, twoand three-bedroom apartment residences; in the initial release of 60 homes, however, units ranged from 780 square feet to 1,000 sq. ft. in two-bedroom plans. Of the 60 homes released, 51 were sold; Polygon is preparing to release the second building in the next few weeks. “We are so pleased to have another strong opening in the Alexandra Gardens neighbourhood,” says Polygon senior

vice-president of sales and marketing Ralph Archibald. “This is our fifth community there in the past few years and each one seems to build on the success of the last.” Polygon has also recently had lineups at its new communities in Coquitlam, UBC and Abbotsford.

‘The really cool thing about Victoria Hill is that it’s a community within a community’

Location and views: The Grove

iving in Onni’s Victoria Hill community is fantastic, says one resident. “It feels safe here ... the views are wonderful,” says Tanya Maglio.

TRICIA LESLIE

It’s the oldest city in Western Canada. Yet it’s also a growing, expanding municipality with plenty to offer potential future residents, such as new homes in a location that is central in Metro Vancouver. New Westminster, also known as the Royal City, was established in the 1850s and was British Columbia’s first capital. It survived through the devastating 1898 fire and has continued to thrive and grow into the dynamic and diverse city it is today. Onni’s master-planned community, Victoria Hill, is taking shape not far from Queen’s Park, Columbia Street, Royal Avenue and McBride Boulevard, a community that blends distinct yet cohesive neighbourhoods, including landmark towers, townhomes, lowrise residences and communal shops and services – all surrounded with a lush, park-like setting. Onni’s latest, The Grove, offers new lowrise condo residences in the heart of the Victoria Hill community that range in size from 650 square feet to 1,485 sq. ft. Every home has a balcony or patio; some are upwards of 200 sq. ft., notes Onni sales manager Nick Belmar. “There’s some outdoor space for everyone,” he says. “The really cool thing about Victoria Hill is that it’s a community within a community ... there’s a lot of seclusion because of the trees.” There’s more than 100 species of old-growth trees onsite, Belmar says, and a pedestrian overpass into Queen’s Park allows Victoria Hill residents easy access. The proximity to more than 40 acres of preserved

Homes at Onni’s The Grove, located in the master-planned New Westminster community of Victoria Hill, start from $259,900.

green space, major transportation routes and to all the city’s amenities are attracting homebuyers of all ages to The Grove from all over Metro Vancouver, Belmar says, from first-time buyers to step-up buyers to downsizers. Victoria Hill resident Tanya Maglio has been living in the community for three years and says she loves it. “The views are great. We don’t feel like we’re on a busy street because there’s so much green space, and everything we need is a two to five-minute drive away,” she says, and notes she and her family and friends use the community’s trails, which connect to the Central Valley Greenway system, all the time. “It feels safe here. The views are wonderful and we have our own amenities centre with a theatre, gym and boardroom that people use all the time.” Outside, The Grove is a mix of traditional Craftsman and West Coast flavour, while nine-foot ceilings – some

vaulted – maximize each home’s living space. Gourmet kitchens, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops add to the attraction for homebuyers, as well as the prices. “It’s not only the central location and the quality of construction,” Belmar says. “It’s the great value they get.” Homes at The Grove start from $259,900.

Sharing Canadian know-how

wantlen Polytechnic University’s public relations alumna has been invited to share her expertise in Croatia. In April, Amelia Kennedy will share her Canadian know-how with undergraduate students at the University of Dubrovnik. After turmoil in the 1990s, the country has energetically focused on rebuilding areas such as tourism and their educational systems. The University of Dubrovnik specializes in undergraduate and graduate programs in PR studies. “I am fortunate to be heading to Croatia to be a guest lecturer and for being given the opportunity to share and exchange PR knowledge on another continent,” said Kennedy. “My current industry experience will be the basis for

the material and content I’ll provide and will obviously have a very Canadian focus. “The current program does not include event management courses so students at the university are very excited to learn more about events and given my nine years in the industry, I am thrilled to be providing them with new knowledge.” Kennedy graduated from the Kwantlen Public Relations program in 2002 and has worked and taught at Kwantlen since 2005. She also founded Crosspoint Communications, which she has owned and operated since 2007. “Kwantlen’s School of Business programs are designed to develop graduates who are career ready and the Public Relations program is a true leader in this respect,” said Arthur Coren, dean of Kwantlen’s School of Business.

DISCOVERY CHANNEL’S number-one rated show,

Canada’s Worst Driver, is once again searching for Surrey’s most dismal drivers. Gearing up for the seventh season, Canada’s Worst Driver aims to improve city streets one bad driver at a time. The hit show is currently seeking nominations for Surrey motorists in desperate need of driver’s training. Those selected for the program will be flown to the Driver’s Rehabilitation Centre in Ontario where they will undergo a series of in-car challenges designed to improve core driving skills such as merging, parallel parking and reversing. Canada’s Worst Driver aspires to make Canadian roads safer by rehabilitating bad drivers from across the country. “This is more than just a TV show. That’s why it

works. We take driver’s training seriously, which means that when you leave the driver’s rehabilitation centre, you have truly improved behind the wheel,” said host and writer Andrew Younghusband. In each episode, one of the eight driving students selected for the show will graduate from the driver’s rehabilitation centre, returning home with enhanced driving skills and newfound confidence. “By helping the bad drivers, we’re not only changing their lives, we’re also changing viewers’ lives. I know this because dozens of viewers have written me to say that they avoided accidents because of techniques they learned by watching our show,” said Younghusband. Nominations can be submitted by email driver@ propertelevision.com or by phone 1-866-598-2591 until the end of March. Producers will be in Surrey in April to meet with potential candidates.
