NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR SURREY MEMORIAL’S TINIEST PATIENTS
Ravinder Binning admits to 2008 fatal hit-and-run
Guilty plea in crash that killed 2 seniors by Sheila Reynolds
EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
Elly Lee visits with her daughter Celine in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Celine weighed just 1,600 grams (3.5 pounds) when she arrived early Feb. 9, but thanks to new technology on loan to the pediatric unit – a Total Parenteral Nutrition Compounder, which precisely mixes food for premature and ill babies – Celine now weighs 1,860 grams, or more than four pounds. The SMH Foundation is raising money to purchase its own TPN Compounder. See story, page 5.
Teachers plan next move by Tom Fletcher and Sheila Reynolds RESPONDING TO legislation tabled this
week, teachers across the province, including those in Surrey and Delta, are deciding whether to escalate job action and walk out of classes.
Just as the Labour Relations Board gave B.C. teachers a green light to strike for up to three days next week, Education Minister George Abbott introduced a new law Tuesday that would suspend all strike action and could impose millions of dollars in fines per day if a strike persists.
While the legislature debated the “Education Improvement Act,� teachers across the province took a strike vote Tuesday and Wednesday, with the results expected to be announced Thursday (after The Leader’s press deadline). See MEDIATION / Page 3

THE DRIVER of the car that killed her mother and father in a crash nearly four years ago pleaded guilty in court Tuesday, but Varinder Badh says Ravinder Binning’s admission comes four years too late and doesn’t erase the fact he fled the deadly scene without helping the victims. Varinder was in a car with her parents, Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh, and sister Rupi in 2008 when they were struck from behind by another vehicle on 128 Street near 85 Avenue. The family was returning home from a wedding Ravinder rehearsal. Binning Dilbag, 61, and his wife Bakhshish, 60, died at the scene and their two daughters suffered serious injuries. The occupants of the car that hit them ran away. While the crash occurred in July 2008, Binning was not arrested and charged until June 2010. See FAMILY / Page 3

Mediation: Is a sham, says STA From page 1 The LRB ruled Tuesday that teachers can legally strike for up to three consecutive days in one week after two days’ notice, and a further one day in each subsequent week with the same notice. That could continue until the new bill passes in the legislature. Surrey Teachers’ Association (STA) president Denise Moffatt said while going on strike is never a preference, teachers are angered by what she called government interference. “Teachers see this legislation as just so disrespectful. They see through the rhetoric. They see clearly that this won’t make things better in classrooms.” More than 2,000 teachers showed up to a rally in Cloverdale Monday afternoon to protest an imposed contract. Abbott said the legislation imposes a six-month “cooling-off period” and sets up appointment of a mediator to look at non-monetary issues only, meaning the government’s net-zero mandate stands. A separate penalty provision would be enacted if necessary, Abbott said, imposing a fine of $1.3 million a day on the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and up to $475 a day on individual teachers who strike in defiance of the new legislation. The legislation extends the current teacher contract terms until the end of August. It gives a yet-to-be-named mediator until June 30 to seek agreement on issues other than pay and benefits, such as class size and composition. However, Moffatt said the legislation removes previously bargained protections on class make-up. For example, she said, there will no longer be a suggested cap on the number of students with special needs in one classroom, and districts will not have to meet an average maximum class size across intermediate and secondary grades. Teachers would also no longer be consulted if a class size exceeds the upper limits. Moffatt said while the legislation gives the appearance government is willing to talk, the mediator’s scope has been so severely limited that only teachers will be Denise Moffatt forced to make compromises. “The mediation process in the legislation is a sham,” she said. The legislation also imposes a new teacher evaluation and selection process that Abbott acknowledged will be controversial. And he said the timing of imposing the cooling-off period depends on whether the NDP opposition holds up the bill or lets it pass in the legislature. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the opposition will not support the legislation, and said Abbott missed an opportunity for “real mediation” of all issues, including monetary. The legislation also puts in place a new fund to address class size and special needs support, in order to respond to a court decision last year that said those issues were taken out of teacher contracts without adequate consultation. It provides $30 million extra this year, $60 million next year and $75 million each year after that – amounts the BCTF has rejected as far too little. Moffatt noted Surrey alone needs $30 million to get back to 2002 service levels. B.C. teachers have been engaged in a work-to-rule campaign since last September where they have refused to complete report cards or meet with administrators.
“Teachers see this legislation as just so disrespectful.”

New technology a boon for sick babies at SMH Nutrient mixing machine helps feed premature infants by Evan Seal ELLY LEE gently runs her fingers
over the head of her daughter Celine in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH). Curled up in a warm cotton blanket, Celine sleeps soundly, unaware of the crowd that has gathered around her. Born on Feb. 9, Celine came into the world via Caesarean section more than eight weeks premature and weighing just over 1,600 grams (3.5 pounds). Lee felt “totally panicked� when she was unable provide enough breast milk for her daughter in the first few days. And with Celine unable to feed on her own, the newborn had to be given her nutrition intravenously to help build her weight and strength. In the past, food ingredients would have been mixed in minute amounts manually by hospital staff, which can be very time consuming. What’s more, having a nutrient measurement off by the slightest amount can be serious. So with an ever-expanding number of premature babies being born at SMH, the hospital has borrowed a TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) Compounder to help mix infant food more quickly and
EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
TPN Compounder technician Atamjit Bassi prepares some intravenous nutrition using a new machine at SMH. with more accuracy. Before TPN, a manual nutrient bag would have taken an hour to fill; with the TPN the same task can be completed in a matter of minutes. After undergoing daily tests to determine the babies’ nutritional needs, the TPN Compounder uses a computer and a highly calibrated pump to mix the exact nutrients the baby will need, including protein, sugar, electrolytes and vitamins. The TPN Compounder also has multiple safety checks built into the process, including weight matches and a bar code scanner to ensure correct ingredients are being used.
SMH is currently using the machine on loan, however, the SMH Foundation is looking to purchase its own $170,000 machine. EWOS Canada has contributed a $25,000 donation to launch the fundraising effort. The technology will eventually be located in the new pediatric pharmacy within the 48-bed neonatal care unit of the $512-million Critical Care Tower currently under construction at SMH. Currently, more than 4,200 babies are born at the hospital annually, with 500 them premature and needing neonatal care. Fortyper-cent of those infants will rely upon the TPN technology. “This year, nearly 200 fragile newborns in Surrey Memorial Hospital alone will need this to gain strength and health,� says SMH Foundation Chair Ron Knight. “The TPN Compounder will help Surrey’s babies as well as those from other Fraser Health hospitals.� After receiving nutrients from TPN for nearly a week, tiny Celine Lee has reached 1,860 grams (more than four pounds), is doing well, and no longer needs the specialized machine.

Thanks for sharing the walk with us No place THANKS FOR WALKING, Surrey, Delta and
White Rock. To everyone who helped make the 2012 Investors Group Walk for Memories a success: You’ve helped make a difference for people in our community who are living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. We raised more than $53,000 at our local event and over $690,000 provincewide to sup-
port the work of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. This exceeded our provincial record-breaking totals from last year. Funds raised help people who are impacted by the disease have the confidence and skills to maintain quality of life, and support research into the causes, more effective treatments and a cure. Back in mid-January, I wrote and asked peo-
ple in our communities to get off the couch and join our fundraising walk to help find a cure. As a person travelling the journey with Alzheimer’s disease, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening. Jim Mann, Surrey, Delta and White Rock Walk for Memories honouree
Lessons in students’ needs I AM A GRADE 7 teacher in Surrey at an inner-city school. I have been in my current position for 10 years. When I began working here, our school district still had separate support teachers for ESL, Resource Room and Learning Assistance. At that time, students in my class received learning support from these three departments on a daily basis. I felt that individual student needs were generally well met. A year or two later, when the system changed to an LST (Learning Support Team) model, my class received daily support each day from an LST teacher. That teacher and I decided how to best use that time to meet the needs of students who were either not working at grade level or who required program adaptations due to learning disabilities. Within that LST model, a single teacher was assigned to each class. It did not guarantee that a particular specialist would be matched with the best fit for an individual student’s needs. Nonetheless, as a staff we tried our best to make it work within the new system. Today, I have 24 students in my class, 11 girls and 13 boys. Of these 24 students, eight of them have special designations. I do not have an SEA (Special Education Assistant) assigned to any of these students. One boy cannot read, and he writes at a Grade 2 level. Another boy has a variety of physical, academic and social difficulties. One of my girls has an ESL designation. Two more girls and three more boys have designations for learning disabilities, two for both math and literacy and the others for literacy. How much support does my class receive? The boy who cannot read gets help from an SEA on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 30 minutes and LST support on Mondays and Fridays for 35 minutes. Five of the students get LST support for math for 45 minutes each day. What about literacy support? That is up to me. I am an experienced teacher with a masters degree in educational practice. I have developed a host of strategies for differentiating instruction and assignments to match my students’ needs. But one person can only do so much.
best for everyone
RE: “TOO MANY people to ‘cram’
into White Rock,” Letters, Feb. 14. Yes a lot of people will be moving to White Rock. But it is a beautiful place to live that will continue to be desirable. The trick therefore will be to retain that charm in the inevitable pressure/desire to enjoy living in one of the nicest places in B.C. I just had friends retire from Toronto to White Rock. They could have gone anywhere but after research, it was the place for them. The reality for White Rock is to determine what kind of place it wants to be and how to be the best community it can be for that market population. Whether we look at Germany, which has decided to be a place for Turks and Russians to migrate from, or Delta, where they aim at having more police per person, each community gets to set its goals and build how it will work. No community can be all things to all people. Alex Danny

Reflecting on safety
Surrey teachers gather for a rally Monday at the Cloverdale Agriplex.
ROAD SAFETY is always a big issue
The major problem here is quite clear: Over the past 10 years, conditions to effectively support students’ needs have deteriorated to an unacceptable level. We need smaller class sizes and greater attention to the composition of these classes. Eight out of 24 is 33 per cent. That is simply too much. My class is not the exception; it is the reality in inner-city Surrey. The proposed “educational plan” by our provincial government does nothing to address what teachers and students really need.
for people, especially seniors. So anything the government of B.C. can do that increases road safety is obviously a good thing and something we should be looking at. That’s why I was excited to hear about a new kind of reflective material being used to make traffic lines on roads easier to see. Apparently, it actually shines your headlights’ beams back at you. I haven’t seen these new reflective lines myself, but friends who have, on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, tell me they’re really helpful and even work well on a dark, rainy night. I don’t know why nobody thought of doing this sooner, but it sure is a good idea and I would love to see the same thing done on the Island Highway.

Education minister doesn’t follow the rules of the classroom ATTENTION EDUCATION Minister
George Abbott, You are in violation of some of the basic rules we reinforce in our classrooms: 1. Compromise. A compromise is when both sides give a little and gain a little. We teach our students to make concessions. We wish we could use your government’s negotiations with the teachers as an
example. 2. Play fair. An agreement was reached by two sides in good faith and you cannot change the rules of the game mid-way. 3. Respect others. We can have different opinions but still treat each other with respect and agree to disagree. Stop saying teachers need to go back to work. We never stopped working. 4. Apologize. Say sorry when you make a mistake or when you have made an error in judgement. There are three parts to an apology. First, apologize when you make a mistake. Next, admit to what you did wrong. Finally, explain what you are going to do to rectify the situation. 5. Prioritize. Education is important. What good is a government that doesn’t invest in the next generation? We are dismayed by your lack of respect towards the teachers of this province. In our classrooms we compose class rules in consultation with our students. Your government would do well to follow our example. With Anti-Bullying Day this week, the hard-working, caring teachers of this province are busy teaching their classes about the
characteristics of bullying. We find it alarming that our own government is exhibiting the intimidation tactics used by bullies to impose legislation on B.C.’s teachers. We will end off with another lesson we teach daily in our classrooms. It is honourable to admit to your mistakes and to work towards rectifying them. Gurjit Pattar, Grade 6 teacher Surrey
Put MLAs’ kids in Surrey classes I’VE BEEN A TEACHER in Surrey for
10 years now, and I’d be willing to accept “net zero” (which is actually a pay cut due to lack of a costof-living increase) if the Liberals also legislated that all MLAs had to send their children to public schools. It would be interesting to see Christy Clark’s or George Abbott’s kids sit in a Surrey classroom with 35 other students, six of whom have special needs and 12 are ESL, with no extra support or funding.

Metro road tolls under consideration Regional sales tax or carbon tax among short-term options for TransLink by Jeff Nagel DRIVERS who never cross a bridge
would still have to pay tolls if a road pricing system now under consideration is adopted in Metro Vancouver to fund TransLink. The idea, emerging as the preferred longer-term solution to reform how the region pays for public transit and roads, does not simply mean slapping tolls on all existing bridges and tunnels. Instead, Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation chair Richard Walton favours a coordinated and fair system of road use fees across the region using a large number of detection points where passing vehicles would be sensed by cameras or perhaps transponder chips built into licence plates. “Those might well be bridges and tunnels,” Walton said. “But that can also happen at points on the freeway between interchanges. It can happen at intersections.” Area mayors admit road pricing is too technically complex to implement quickly enough to help TransLink raise more money it needs by 2013.
It’s also politically explosive and expected to require years of public consultation. So road pricing won’t be among new funding tools the mayors want the provincial government to enable through legislation this spring, although those options are also controversial. The ones rated most feasible include a new regional carbon tax applying only in Metro Vancouver or a car levy, which TransLink has previously contemplated and could be either a flat annual fee on each registered vehicle, or it could vary based on the vehicle’s emissions or the owner’s proximity to public transit. A regional sales tax with a suggested rate of 0.6 per cent or an employer payroll tax of $30 to $90 per employee each year are also possibilities. The mayors meet with Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom March 7 to consider at least 20 different options, set out in a confidential analysis of a Joint Technical Committee that consists of TransLink and ministry representatives. “We’re making sure we analyze
Drivers who never cross bridges may still one day have to pay tolls for road use. as much as we can and as deep as we can so the mayors council has the broadest range of possible options in front of it,” said Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, vicechair of the mayors’ council. Road pricing is particularly tricky because it would require the province to alter its tolling policy that bans tolls on existing infrastructure, and requires motorists have a reasonable free alternative when new or expanded facilities are tolled. Premier Christy Clark said earlier this month her government has no plans to alter the provincial
tolling policy. Fairness is a key consideration driving the look at road pricing. Surrey motorists are incensed that once tolls of at least $3 hit the new Port Mann Bridge in December their city will have no free route across the Fraser River except for the aging Pattullo Bridge, which is also to be rebuilt and tolled by 2018. Several mayors and some business leaders have suggested much lower tolls instead be applied at all crossings in the region, to fix the inequity of piecemeal tolling and prevent inefficient traffic distortions from motorists detouring to avoid tolls. The technical committee’s report to the mayors’ council reportedly suggests a $1.60 toll at major bridges and tunnels could raise at least $100 million a year. But Walton said a bridges-only system of tolling would simply extend Surrey’s unfair treatment to other parts of the region, like the North Shore and especially Richmond, which is ringed by bridges and tunnels. Meanwhile, drivers who stay on
the Burrard Peninsula or south of the Fraser could travel large distances without paying. Walton said a comprehensive road pricing system would be better because it could capture all lengthy trips – like ones from Port Coquitlam to UBC or Fort Langley to White Rock. The mayors and many transportation experts favour revenue sources like road pricing that are tied to transportation because they don’t just raise money but also shape residents’ behaviour – encouraging them to drive less, take transit more and live where they can take more trips by foot or bike. Moreover, road pricing could allow time-of-day tolling are possible that reduce congestion and make more efficient use of roads by encouraging motorists to shift to off-peak hours. “You can structure distance pricing so that if you travel to work before 6:30 in the morning, it’s free,” Walton said. “Or if you’re travelling with three or more people it’s free.

‘Fair’: Distance-based tolls From page 9 “You can make it possible so people can slightly shift their travel patterns and pay nothing. So it’s not just a matter of everybody paying a lot more.” Walton notes other variants of road pricing are possible, including High Occupancy/Tolled lanes, where motorists willing to pay a toll can use what are otherwise HOV lanes. “It’s our long-term goal to have some kind of distance-pricing mechanism that’s based on very fair principles.” Other transportation-related fees are under consideration, but a briefing to Metro mayors shows all have a variety of weaknesses. The parking sales tax, which adds 21 per cent to pay parking fees, could be raised higher. That, however, is seen as unfair to downtown Vancouver, home to most pay lots. Further increases in the gas tax are an option, although
TransLink considers that source increasingly unpredictable. It also fails to capture the growing numbers of electric cars or motorists who drive to the Fraser Valley or the U.S. to buy gas. Transit fares could be hiked further – a 12.5-per-cent increase is already slated for next year, pending a review – but charging too much will erode ridership and send passengers back to their cars. TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly, who also supports a serious look at road pricing, suggests either a vehicle levy or a lower toll rate on all the region’s bridges and tunnels could be an interim step. The mayors’ council last fall approved a broad-based transit expansion plan, including construction of the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam. About half of the extra $70 million a year required to fund the plan comes from a two-cent raise in the region’s gas tax – to
17 cents a litre – effective April 1. But the rest must come from another source that mayors and the province must have in place by the end of this year or else a property tax hike averaging $23 per home applies in 2013 and 2014. The mayors aim to fill not just that short-term gap – and avoid the property tax hike – but secure much more funding for TransLink to support further transit expansion, including potential new rapid transit lines in Surrey to Langley or White Rock and in Vancouver along the Broadway corridor to UBC. Besides road pricing, options before the mayors and Lekstrom also include a benefitting area tax that applies to properties that gain value when a transit line is built nearby, a flat levy per property going to TransLink or new charges developers must pay to subdivide land or build new projects. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Record gas prices forecast for region Brace for $1.60 per litre at the pump this spring, analyst warns by Jeff Nagel A 15-CENT jump in Metro
Gasoline prices may rise as much as 20 cents per litre in the coming weeks.
Vancouver gasoline prices has motorists stinging from a sudden new bout of pain at the pumps. And with the end of winter in sight, it could get even worse. Average prices in Metro Vancouver hit $1.42 per litre Tuesday – within a cent of last year’s summer peak – before easing slightly. Gasoline had been relatively stable at around $1.27 per litre here from late November until Feb. 14. The only time prices have been significantly higher than now was in the summer of 2008, when Metro Vancouver
pump prices briefly topped $1.50 a litre as crude oil prices spiked to $150 a barrel. Crude now is close to $110 a barrel, driven up in part by fears that Iran’s effort to build nuclear weapons could spark military conflict in the Middle East. But petroleum industry analysts say the Feb. 18 fire at BP’s Cherry Point refinery near Blaine, Washington is a big factor driving prices up locally. Although the still-idled refinery doesn’t supply the Lower Mainland – gas here comes through Kinder Morgan’s pipeline from Alberta or is refined by Chevron in Burnaby – the reduced supply south of the border has forced prices up
there and is having a spillover effect on prices in B.C. If Lower Mainland prices didn’t rise in tandem, analysts say, gas here would flow south of the border, drawn by higher prices. Jason Toews, co-founder of price-tracking website gasbuddy.com, calls it a case of bad timing for the refinery fire, because more motorists always take to the road in spring and summer, and that will soon force prices higher still. “It’s terrible news for gas prices,� he said. “Summer driving season brings a lot more driving. Crude oil is already high. And then there’s the Iran factor if war was to break out.� Toews said Lower Mainland
drivers are unlikely to see significant price relief until September and he predicts gasoline will set new record highs here this spring. “I think we’re going to see a spike in May,� he said. “Vancouver will probably see average gas prices around $1.60, with some stations as high as $1.70.� As of Wednesday, Bellingham prices were US $4.05 per gallon, the equivalent of about $1.05 per litre. Gas prices in the U.S. city have climbed 12 per cent this month, compared to about 10 per cent in Metro Vancouver. There’s no estimate yet of when the Cherry Point refinery will return to full production.
Responsible budgeting in an uncertain world. To prosper in today’s turbulent global economy, discipline and focus are essential. All around us we see governments paying the price for overspending and uncontrolled debt. In BC, we have a different story.

Part of SFPR to open in December by Jeff Nagel TRAFFIC congestion in
North Surrey should ease considerably by the end of this year, when a big section of the South Fraser Perimeter Road opens. About one-third of the route – from 136 Street to 176 Street – is now slated to open by December and Gateway program executive director Geoff Freer predicts lots of trucks will shift onto it, unclogging other major arteries in Surrey. “I think people will notice it immediately in terms of the trucks,” he said. The expected opening date was revealed in the transportation ministry’s service plan, released with the provincial budget. Many big rigs heading to industrial sites – such as Fraser Surrey Docks, CN Rail’s intermodal yard near 176 Street, and business parks near Scott Road or King George Boulevard – currently travel through Surrey on 104 Avenue and King George.
Trucks expected to divert from other Surrey routes “A lot of that traffic will start to use this portion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road right away,” Freer said. “It’s going to be the route of choice for trucks to get to CN or Fraser Surrey Docks or to the border or to Highway 1.” Freer said work on the $1.26-billion perimeter road continues to be on time and on budget. Gravel has been put down on a large section of the route east of the Port Mann and paving is expected to be underway by early fall. Freer said the transportation ministry’s decision to advance pre-load sections of the route in 2008 to compact areas with soft soils is working well. No exact opening date has been set yet.
The new Port Mann Bridge also opens in December. Because it will be tolled, a significant amount of Highway 1 traffic is also expected to shift onto the perimeter road to cross the Pattullo Bridge for free. Motorists westbound on the perimeter road will initially access the Pattullo via Bridgeview Drive, but Freer said they will also be able to use the Tannery Road interchange once the rest of the corridor to the southwest is open. The entire South Fraser Perimeter Road, running 40 kilometres from 176 Street to Deltaport, is slated to open by the end of 2013. Trucks are expected to make up nearly 30 per cent of the estimated traffic volume of 25,000 to 30,000 vehicles per day. The four-lane route will not be free of traffic lights, at least not initially. The Surrey section will open next winter with two sets of traffic lights where it intersects Bridgeview Drive and at the intersection of 176
Street and 104 Avenue. Further southwest in Delta, traffic on the
perimeter road will stop for lights at Nordel Way and at Tilbury.
Those intersections are all being preloaded to allow for future upgrades
to free-flowing interchanges with on and off ramps, Freer said.

‘Never give up,’ friends urge teen hit by SUV Krysten Doran remains in medically induced coma, but her dad says she’s doing much better by Kevin Diakiw A 16-YEAR-OLD girl is in a medically induced coma after being struck by an SUV on Friday night. However, Krysten Doran’s dad says she’s doing much better, and friends are urging her to keep up the fight in overcoming serious injuries. Doran was crossing Highway 10 near 180 Street Friday when she was struck by a westbound SUV. She suffered extensive head and body injuries. Doran was airlifted to hospital, where she remains in serious condition. Her father Paris indicated she is doing better

Doran was wearing dark clothing when she was crossing Highway 10 and police say she was not at a marked crossing. Police also say it was dark out and the road conditions were wet. They do not believe speed or alcohol were factors. The driver was not injured, but was shaken up as a result of the collision. Charges are not anticipated. The incident is being investigated by Surrey RCMP Traffic Services.

Man shot in back
by Kevin Diakiw SHOTS RANG out through a North
Surrey residential area this week in what’s believed to be the region’s latest gangland shooting. On Tuesday, just after 10 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call of shots fired in the 8800 block of 131 Street. Police believe several gunmen shot at three men as they arrived home. Only one of them was struck. A 28-year-old
was hit in the back and is expected to make a full recovery. The gunmen fled on foot. “We know that the victim and two associates have numerous criminal associations in the Surrey area and that this incident could be related to any one of those associations,” said Sgt Peter Thiessen spokesperson for the Lower Mainland RCMP. “This was a targeted attack and does have all the earmarks of being gang related.”

victims or witnesses to come forward after charging a 43-year-old Surrey man with four sexual assaults dating back to 1994. Burnaby RCMP began its investigation after learning of a possible sexual assault and robbery on Dec. 4 against a woman, a sex trade worker, who had been taken to Burnaby from the Downtown Eastside. Due to the nature of the assault, it became Burnaby RCMP’s number-one priority, said Burnaby RCMP Chief Supt. David Critchley. Immediately, Burnaby RCMP notified Vancouver Police Department, which then took steps to warn other sex trade workers in the area. The two police agencies, and more than 50 officers, worked closely together on the file. A second sexual assault took place in Burnaby on Dec. 18, which investigators believed was linked
to the first. Key pieces of the puzzle were linked and police in both cities began combing through past unsolved cases dating back to the 1990s. As a result, Shalendra Kumar Sharma, 43, of Surrey has been charged with four counts of sexually assaulting four women, two in December 2011 and the others in 1994 and 1997. He is also charged with four counts of confining the women and one count of kidnapping. In addition, Sharma is charged with two counts of assault and one count of uttering threats in connection with the two December incidents. He was arrested Feb. 17 and is currently remanded in custody and due back in court Friday (March 2). In all four cases, the victims were sex-trade workers taken from the Downtown Eastside to South Burnaby where they were sexually assaulted. Police believe there may be more
victims or witnesses. “Given that Mr. Sharma is currently in custody, and poses no current threat to the public, police will not be releasing his photo at this time as investigators need to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation,” Critchley said. To help jog the memories of possible victims and witnesses, police released a list of vehicles Sharma owned or had access to between 1994 and the present: a 2007 red Ford Escape; a 2003 blue Ford Explorer; a 1997 red Ford Explorer; and a 1991 red Pontiac Sunbird, . Sharma, who works as a labourer in a manufacturing plant, was not known to police prior to these incidents, Critchley said. Anyone who may have witnessed or been the victim of an assault, sexual assault or theft by someone driving the vehicles associated with Sharma is asked to call Burnaby RCMP, 604-294-7922, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Man charged in separate bus attacks by Monique Tamminga THE 19-YEAR-old Surrey
man charged in connection with the choking of a bus driver and stabbing of a passenger has been held in jail. Steven Fayant is charged with aggravated assault for the stabbing of a 41-year-old Langley man who was getting off the bus near Aldergrove Centre Mall on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Fayant is also charged with assault in connection with strangling a Surrey bus driver on Feb. 18. The suspect remains in custody. Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks said that Fayant was arrested shortly after midnight last Thursday at his Surrey home. He did not resist
19-year-old charged for choking driver, stabbing passenger arrest. The arrest was made possible after a Langley Mountie recognized the man from surveillance
footage provided by TransLink. Court documents show that Fayant was charged with being in
possession of break-in tools on July 28, 2011, and charged three days later for a break-in. On Sept. 25, 2011, he was
charged with assault. Those charges are still before the courts. It isn’t known what provoked the stabbing.
The victim been since been released from hospital. In the Surrey incident, the bus driver
said he asked a young man to move down the bus which the suspect complied with. He later returned to the driver, started choking him, and then fled.

Langley was arrested after leading police on what they called a dangerous “detour” through Surrey last Thursday evening. Surrey RCMP were called at around 7 p.m. after a truck was stolen in the Newton neighbourhood. The Chevy pick-up was equipped with an onboard tracking system, however, allowing police to pinpoint its location in North Surrey. The RCMP’s Air 2 helicopter began following the truck, giving officers on the ground the chance to position themselves without getting involved in a chase. The man, who police said is a “prolific thief,” drove through red lights, into oncoming traffic, through a fence and onto school grounds. Air 2 requested the tracking system to immobilize the truck, which ended up near 140 Street and 64 Avenue. A 29-year-old was arrested, who police says is wanted on three warrants in Langley. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Metro cities in diplomatic dance with evolving TFN by Jeff Nagel THE TSAWWASSEN First Nation’s
decision to build a huge shopping district rivalling Metrotown on its treaty land near the ferry terminal captured the public spotlight last month. But it may be just the tip of the iceberg of land-use upheavals that are to come as more urban First Nations either sign new treaties or, increasingly, pursue business ventures on their reserves without treaties. “It’s going to be very, very interesting,” predicts Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin, the chair of Metro Vancouver’s newly created
Twin Mattress from $99
aboriginal affairs committee. Metro and its member cities worry in part that an aboriginal building boom may run contrary to regional goals and compound sprawl, traffic and other challenges. “We’ve worked hard to come up with a Regional Growth Strategy that respects what we want the region to be,” Daykin said, adding he hopes First Nations strive to respect the Metro vision for compact development that preserves livability. It is a balancing act, he concedes. “How do we make it work in a positive way, instead of expending a whole bunch of energy stomping our feet and saying we don’t want

something to happen?” Cities and civic leaders want to support neighbouring First Nations in their aim of becoming economically self-sufficient and ending decades of government dependency. That means mayors like Daykin must be diplomatic in fostering positive relations with aboriginal neighbours, while defending civic interests. Daykin had to apologetically tell the Katzie First Nation when his council recently voted to oppose the band’s plan for a lucrative gravel mine on Blue Mountain, citing concerns about truck traffic, See EXPROPRIATION / Page 19

have to pay property tax to TransLink or Metro Vancouver either. Another concern red-flagged by Metro is whether areas now considered public land – parks, green space and the like – might end up in First Nations hands for development through either new treaties
or other deals with the province. That already happened in 2008 when the province expropriated 22 hectares of Pacific Spirit Regional Park from Metro Vancouver and handed it over to the Musqueam band to settle a court dispute. Metro officials fought the $200-million land transfer in court but lost and the band plans to build housing there. After the loss, regional district officials called it a dangerous precedent that may trade away more parks in First Nations negotiations.

slope stability and recreational access. There are differing legal views on whether the band can still mine gravel on the Crown land site within the municipality over council’s objection. And that’s without a treaty that could confer much stronger powers, like those of the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN). Daykin notes the Katzie, whose traditional territory is centred on Pitt Meadows, and the Tsleil Waututh, who have reserves in North Vancouver and along Indian Arm, are the next local bands that are closest to treaties, currently negotiating agreementsin-principle. Metro and its member cities can try to shape future treaties by advising the provincial negotiators of local or regional concerns. But Daykin noted affected cities don’t know exactly what may be on the table if treaties are struck in those areas. “How much influence we can have on that, I’m not sure,” he said. “The province’s goals or objectives may not be in alignment with the regional goals. They may view that a greater good overrides some of a local municipality’s concerns.” On the North Shore, the Squamish Nation is on a different path, pursuing development on reserves in West Vancouver without a treaty. Federal legislation in recent years gave aboriginal bands much greater scope to pursue commercial and industrial development on reserve. Up to 30,000 nonaboriginal residents could move into condos the Squamish plan to build on reserve land near Park Royal. In Maple Ridge, the Kwantlen First Nation also has plans to build on its reserves, with up to 400,000 square feet of commercial space planned, along with housing. The issue for cities is whether new bandowned real estate projects
will contribute a fair share of the services tenants will use. Daykin said cities want contributions for not just “hard services” like sewer and water but also Kim Baird softer ones like recreation centres and libraries. Without equitable agreements, taxpayers elsewhere would subsidize residents on reserve. First Nations projects on Ernie Daykin reserve may not

crude oil from Alberta through the Lower Mainland to waiting oil tankers off Burnaby is a step closer to doubling its capacity. Kinder Morgan said the $3.8-billion expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline – from a capacity of 300,000 barrels per day now to 600,000 – appears justified after it got strong support from shipping customers in a test of the market. “What we heard back is very encouraging,” spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield said. Initial project design and planning work is now being finished and Kinder Morgan will decide by the end of March whether to seek approval to twin the line. Because the Trans Mountain route has an existing right-ofway, Kinder Morgan’s project holds a major advantage over rival Enbridge, which has hit fierce opposition in northern B.C. to its bid to construct the Northern Gateway pipeline to carry 550,000 barrels per day of oil sands crude to Kitimat. A doubled Trans Mountain pipeline would likely see many more oil tankers passing through Burrard Inlet to carry oil to destinations in Asia or the U.S. Up to 70 tankers a year (32 in
2011) already load up there. Hobenshield said the project could include the addition of a second berth at the Westridge terminal in Burnaby as well as additional petroleum product storage in Burnaby. Port Metro Vancouver has also weighed options to dredge the Second Narrows to allow tankers to pass through the inlet with heavier loads than now allowed. But the project would still have to undergo two years of environmental assessments, socioeconomic studies and full public and First Nations consultations, Hobenshield said. After that – if Kinder Morgan then formally submits the project – it would still require National Energy Board approval. For nearly two years, Hobenshield said the existing pipeline has been oversubscribed, leading to a system of rationing customer access. Although Kinder Morgan has an existing corridor, Hobenshield said a second pipeline may not be able to follow the exact same route because of urban encroachment in parts of the Lower Mainland, including Surrey. “There are areas where it may be tight to fit another pipe in the existing right-of-way,” she said. She said it’s far too soon to say if that means the project could
require Kinder Morgan to buy out homes or other properties in some areas. Besides carrying oil to tankers, the pipeline supplies Chevron’s refinery in Burnaby as well as others in Washington State via a branch that crosses the border at Sumas. Further upstream, Trans Mountain goes through Kamloops and up the Thompson River valley. The federal Conservative government wants a bigger outlet to the Pacific to increase exports of Alberta oil to Asia and reduce reliance on the U.S. market after the Obama administration blocked the speedy approval of TransCanada Corp.’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline to Texas. Environmental groups and some First Nations have already said they will oppose the Kinder Morgan twinning, saying increased oil exports through Port Metro Vancouver pose unacceptable risks. Oil has spilled from Kinder Morgan’s system in the past. More than 1,500 barrels spilled in Burnaby in 2007 after a construction crew ruptured the pipeline. And nearly 700 barrels spilled into a containment system Jan. 24 at the Sumas Terminal. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Heritage rail runs late MEDICAL
S P R I N G 2 012
Cloverdale project months behind schedule by Jennifer Lang
ON MAG AZIN E L HOS PITA L FOUN DATI A SUR REY MEM ORIA
A SOCIETY of heritage rail
enthusiasts won’t be moving into a new home in Cloverdale until sometime this summer. Construction on the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society’s new operations was supposed to begin months ago, but the project is at least six months behind schedule. The project unexpectedly hit a snag last April, when contaminated soil was discovered on the 5554 176 Street property, a site that will be home to the society’s Interurban car barn and replica Cloverdale Station once the move from Sullivan Station is complete. The society had hoped to capitalize on the publicity generated by an exhibit about the historic Interurban railway that opened at the Surrey Museum earlier this month – as well as begin offering limited passenger runs in May. Now the plan is to start construction on the railway barn in March, move in July, and begin test runs sometime in August. “It’s been a challenge,” society secretary Allen Aubert said. Things looked like they were about to get back on track in August, when the soil remediation was completed and a new surface drainage system and

storm drains were put in place, but the project stalled again in the fall while the society waited for the green light from city hall. “You can’t do much if you don’t do things before October when the monsoons come,” he said. The society’s new car barn and replica Cloverdale station – modelled on the original B.C. Electric Railway Interurban station here – is part of a $5-million million project (a sum that includes inkind donations of material and labour). In early 2011, the City of Surrey approved $2.9 million in spending to relocate the society’s operations to Cloverdale from Sullivan Station at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. The move was supposed to be completed in time for the opening of the exhibit The British Columbia Electric Railway – More than Just a Tram, presented in partnership with Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society and Chilliwack Museum, to March 24. The intention was to bring Surrey Museum visitors to view the society’s two Interurban cars, which have been the focus of nearly a decade of effort and some 17,000 volunteer hours of labour. “We are a little disappointed,” Aubert said. “We really wanted
to take people by the hand and bring them to the site.” Last June, the society held what was intended to be their last open house at Sullivan Station. “We were ready,” Aubert said. Now, thinking of holding two more open houses at Sullivan in order to keep the project in the public eye and continue building momentum prior to “the big move” to Cloverdale, likely sometime in July. And the move, Aubert stresses, will be quite big, involving cranes that will lift the vintage cars onto the four tractor trailers that will haul the refurbished cars to Cloverdale, an operation that’s expected to take 12 hours to complete. Meanwhile, plenty of work awaits. Aubert said excavation on the foundation could begin the first week of March, once the tendering process is complete and the necessary permits are in place. Cloverdale Station – a second phase of the project – will also be home to the Clover Belle, a vintage 1912 streetcar that’s at the focus of separate restoration efforts by the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce and the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association. Plans call for a streetcar line up 176 Street from Highway 10 to 58A Avenue.

Access to transportation key when choosing a new home
Transit â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a really vital linkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in our lives How much is convenient transportation worth? It might be a cop-out to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;it depends,â&#x20AC;? but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it is. Sometimes it can add to the cost of a home, but in other cases it can actually save you some cash. Take Forge Propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Keystone townhome development in South Surrey. Forge spokesman Cory Saran says lots of buyers are coming in from Vancouver and Richmond because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close enough to Highway 99 that residents can hop on the freeway and get going within minutes. And with homes starting at $445,000, he says commuters can save a bundle compared to living in a similar, 1,800 square-foot townhome downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To buy a townhome with this squarefootage in Vancouver is a million-plus,â&#x20AC;? he
says. Saran says the proximity to the 99 is huge for Keystone buyers. From the development, you can get to Langley in 20 minutes and downtown Vancouver in about 30 if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky, he says. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same for developments near public transit. WestStone Propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 40-storey condo tower Ultra â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of the Urban Village project in Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a three-minute walk to the SkyTrain. Bob Dominick, vicepresident of sales and marketing at WestStone, says this proximity to transit has been a huge draw for SFU students in particular, but also commuters who get to work without a car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of our residents look at it as access to entertainment,â&#x20AC;? Dominick says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really vital link in our lives.â&#x20AC;?

Tamanawis clinches berth to B.C.’s Three local teams still alive at Fraser Valley tournament
by Rick Kupchuk FOR THE third time in four years, the
Tamanawis Wildcats have qualified for the B.C. Boys High School Basketball Championships. The Wildcats have advanced to the semifinal round of the Fraser Valley Senior AAA playoff tournament, assuring themselves of a top four finish. Seven teams from the Fraser Valley zone qualify for the 20-team provincial tournament. Tamanawis clinched their trip to the provincial finals with a 60-51 win over the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors Monday night, a game played in their opponents gym. “It’s been a funny couple of weeks,” said Wildcats coach Surinder Grewal. “It was nice to get a win, and as far as I know, it’s the first time Tamanawis has ever won a game at White Rock.” It was a measure of revenge for the Wildcats, a team which was undefeated in
13 league and playoff games in the Fraser Valley South West league before losing the championship game 60-58 to the Warriors at Tamanawis Secondary. “A few things happened in the league game,” said Grewal. “One of our starters was out with a mild concussion, and it changed my rotation and how I move players in and out of the game. And we ran into foul trouble. “This week, we were healthy and stayed out of foul trouble. Everyone played, and played well.” Manny Dulay paced Tamanawis with 20 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Sukhjot Bains added 16 points and five rebounds, while Ravjot Dhaliwal contributed with a strong defensive game. The Wildcats will tip-off against the Pitt Meadows Marauders in the first of two semifinal games tomorrow (Friday) at 6 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. The Terry Fox Ravens face the Walnut Grove Gators in the other semifinal. The
winners play at 7:45 p.m. Saturday in the championship game, the losers are on the court at 6 p.m. to determine third and fourth place. Grewal admits resting some players is tempting, but added the Wildcats will play to win. “It’s nice to stay healthy, but one of our goals at the start of the year was to win the Fraser Valley tournament,” he said. “All four teams remaining will want to win two more games, and get the best seeding possible at the B.C. tournament.” ■ Three other local schools are two wins away from advancing to the March 13-17 B.C. tournament at the Langley Events Centre, all tipping off in games today (Thursday) at Fleetwood Park Secondary. The losers of today’s four consolation games are eliminated, the winners will play twice more looking for one more victory to clinch a top seven placing. The North Delta Huskies face the South Delta Sun Devils at 2:30 p.m. in a battle of

two Fraser Valley South West league rivals. The Huskies defeated South Delta 68-56 in a league playoff contest Feb. 15, and went on to place third in the 11-team group. The Enver Creek Cougars face the Yale Lions at 6 p.m. tonight. Enver Creek placed second in the Fraser Valley Central league, then went on to win the playoff tournament with a 79-69 triumph over the first place Princess Margaret Lions. Yale was third in the Fraser Valley East zone playoff. Princess Margaret will play in tonight’s fourth game at 7:45 p.m. against White Rock Christian. Today’s four winners play each other in two consolation games at 2:30 and 4:15 p.m. tomorrow. The winners clinch a berth to the provincial tournament and play for fifth and sixth place at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, the losers play for the seventh and final B.C. berth at 2:30 p.m. All games Friday and Saturday are at the Langley Events Centre.

Michal Urbaniuk and Stephen Campbell of the North Delta Devils outnumber Alex Martin of the Delta Ice Hawks in a battle for the puck during a PIJHL playoff game Tuesday night in Ladner. The Devils won 3-2.
Devils hang on for a playoff win PIJHL playoffs underway by Rick Kupchuk THE NORTH Delta Devils took it to the home team for the first 40 minutes Tuesday night, then hung on for a 3-2 win in the first game of their Pacific International Junior Hockey League playoff series. Facing off against the Delta Ice Hawks at the Ladner Leisure Centre, the Devils outshot their hosts 28-20 over the first two periods, and carried a 2-0 lead into the final frame. Robert Lacis opened the scoring just two minutes into the game. Julius Ho added a powerplay marker just before the first intermission. After a scoreless second period, Stephen Campbell scored what at the time seemed to be an insurance goal, but turned out to be the winning tally. Delta held a huge 17-7 edge in shots on goal over the final 20 minutes, finally scoring on a powerplay effort from Cody Smith with less than four minutes to play, then pulling to within one with a goal from Spencer Traher one
minute later. Harry Fredeman made 35 of 37 shots in the North Delta net, earning the game’s first star honour. North Delta finished third in the Tom Shaw conference with a 26-14-4-0 (won-lost-overtime loss-tied) record, six points back of the 29-11-3-1 Ice Hawks. Game two of the best-of-seven quarterfinal series was played last night (Wednesday) also in Ladner, before the series switches to North Delta’s Sungod Arena for two contests Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 6:45 p.m. Game five, if necessary, goes Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Ladner. ■ Two of the other three series in the PIJHL playoffs are also under way. The Aldergrove Kodiaks, the first place team in the Harold Brittain Conference, defeated the Ridge Meadows Flames 8-2 in Aldergrove Monday night. The Abbotsford Pilots, a point behind the Kodiaks in league play, hold a 2-0 series lead over the Port Moody Black Panthers.

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich You just had to know it was only a matter of time before engaging young trainer Alina MacLeod would be proudly visiting the winner’s circle at Fraser Downs Racetrack. MacLeod, 21, is known in the business as a “third generation horsewoman”. She is the daughter of former trainer, driver and owner Cal MacLeod and granddaughter of Archie MacLeod, long-time owner and breeder who took great delight in naming his horses “Doelcam”, which is MacLeod spelled backwards. Alina celebrated her first career training victory with Red Star Renegade Friday night when driver Scott Knight scored a 12-1 upset win over popular pacesetter Winter Bliss in 1:59 flat. Red Star Renegade, owned by Surrey’s Ed Babysh, paid $27.80. Alina is the program coordinator for Greener Pastures BC Standardbred Horse Adoption Society, a group dedicated to changing the lives of horses by retraining and finding loving homes for retired standardbred racehorses. It’s a registered non-profit charitable organization that has been operating since 2003. The horses are donated by racing owners who wish to have them placed in caring recreational homes. Greener Pastures, located in South Langley near Campbell Valley Park, sends out over 50 horses for adoption every year. You can contact Alina for more information at co-ordinator@greenerpastures.ca Kg Mattattack, owned, trained and driven by Serge Masse captured the $20,000 Spartacus Claiming Series Final on Friday by beating Tax Relief (Brad Watt) by a neck in 1:56. The 10-year-old gelding has 30 career wins, pushing his lifetime earnings to $265,111. Masse also drove Miss Valentine champion Village Janus to victory in the co-featured $12,500 Fillies & Mares Open Pace. Masse had to settle for a second-place finish in last Sunday’s $20,000 BBs Mirage Claiming Series Final as Pretty Promised prevailed by a neck over Intrepid Kate in 1:57. Recently claimed by owner, trainer and driver Rod Therres, Pretty Promised paid $17.80. The 6-year-old mare pushed her lifetime earnings over the $100,000 mark. Racing resumes Friday (7 p.m.) and Sunday at 1:45 p.m. See you there.

Hawks win two in Castlegar Major Midget hockey team chasing playoff position by Rick Kupchuk A LITTLE BIT of help and two victories over the lastplace team has the Valley West Hawks on the verge of clinching a B.C. Hockey Major Midget League playoff position. The Hawks were in Castlegar last weekend defeating the Kootenay Ice 5-2 and 4-2 in a pair of games. The four points, combined with the North Island Silvertips and Fraser Valley Bruins splitting their series in Nanaimo, has the Hawks tied with the Bruins for sixth place, one point up on North Island. Valley West, now with an 18-17-3 (won-lost-tied) record would win a tiebreaker with Fraser Valley, as they have more wins in league play. The Hawks close out the season this weekend, hosting the 3-28-7 South Island Thunderbirds Saturday and
Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Two wins would clinch sixth place and a playoff position for Valley West. Daniell Lange and Danton Heinen of Langley, and Surrey’s Mitchell Friesen each had a goal and two assists in Saturday wins. Ram Brar of Surrey netted a pair of goals, and defenceman Austin Bietenbeck of Langley collected three assists. The two teams were tied 1-1 after the first period, but the Hawks led 3-1 after 40 minute and were up 5-1 before the Ice tallied their second goal with three minutes to play. It was a closer game Sunday, with the score tied 1-1 and 2-2 at the period breaks. Heinen scored the winner five minutes into the third period, and notched an insurance goal with 10 minutes to play. Friesen and Langley defenceman Justin Klimek also scored.
Scottsdale Lanes host provincials Youth Bowling tournament in Surrey, Langley NINE FORMER provincial champions from Scottsdale Lanes will have the advantage of competing at home in the Five-Pin Youth Bowling Provincial Championships. Scottsdale will host the Junior (11-14) and Senior (15-19) team events on Saturday. All Scottsdale bowlers qualified by winning a Fraser Valley zone playoff. Lucas Schaff, Noah Benoit and Drake Green will be part of the Scottsdale team in the Junior boys category. Schaff has won two gold medals in the Bantam (10-andunder) division in 2006-07, adding two more in the Junior age
group in 2009 and 2011, Benoit was a provincial champion with the 2009 Bantam team, while Green earned gold in 2006 as a Bantam and 2009 as a Junior. Nickolas Dodge is the fourth member of the Scottsdale team. Taylor Sutton and Rebecca Ponting will bowl in the Junior girls group, Sutton won a B.C. title in 2009 in the Combo (one bowler from each age group) class, while Ponting won gold in 2008 (Bantam) and 2009 (Junior). They will be joined by Kylie Arno and Ally Collinson. Cassidy Buckman has won
seven provincial titles in both team and singles competition, and will join Stacy Semkiw, Jordin Buckman and Jordyn Henderson in the Senior girls division. Semkiw has won three team titles, including last year in the Senior age group with Henderson. Jordin Buckman has won team titles in the Junior and Senior divisions. Scottsdale is one of three sites for the provincial tournament. The Combo teams will bowl at Clover Lanes, while all singles and the Bantam teams will compete at Willowbrook Lanes in Langley.

by Nick Greenizan LESS THAN a week after the Langley Rivermen ended the Surrey Eagles’ impressive point streak, the Junior A hockey squad exacted a measure of revenge. Tuesday at the Langley Events Centre, the Eagles – who lost 4-1 to Langley last Wednesday – defeated the Rivermen 6-4. Sean McGovern and Brandon Morley scored twice each, with Robert Lindores and Brandon Tanev adding singles. Andrew Hunt was in net for the Eagles, stopping 20 of 24 Rivermen shots. Until losing to Langley last week, the Eagles had picked up points in the standings – either by win, tie or overtime loss – in 16 straight contests.

Surrey Youth Theatre Company brings the timeless novel A Little Princess to stage
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Classic story still resonates S by Alex Browne
urrey Youth Theatre Company’s (SYTCO) production of A Little Princess brings the popular children’s classic to life this weekend at Surrey Arts Centre; with performances at 7:30 p.m. this Friday (March 2) and Saturday (March 3), with a 2:30 p.m. matinée this Sunday (March 4). Directed by SYTCO founder and artistic director Susan Pendleton, it’s a true period piece – Frances Hodgson Burnett (renowned author of Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden) wrote a first version of the story in 1887, but last revised it some 18 years later, at the dawn of the Edwardian era. It tells the story of an intelligent, polite and innately creative young girl, Sara Crewe, daughter of a soldier, who grew up in the exotic environs of India. Brought to London for a formal education after the death of her mother, Sara is placed at an exclusive girls’ boarding school run by the haughty, forbidding headmistress, Miss Minchin. Minchin resents Sara’s imaginative flights of fancy – which threaten to disrupt the iron discipline with which she runs her school – but is prepared to tolerate her all the while Sara’s father supplies the necessary fees. But when Sara’s father is reported dead as a bankrupt, Sara feels the full force of Minchin’s wrath – being allowed to stay on at the school only as a servant. With strength of spirit – and the help of friends both known and unknown – Sara manages to win through in the end in a tale that is both touching and inspiring. It’s an old story, but one that’s still has resonance with kids today according to SYTCO newcomer Julia Albert, who plays the lead role of Sara. “I think it’s relevant to the present day,” said the
Grade 6 Laronde Elementary student. “There are mean characters are more enjoyable to act out – they’re more fun.” still teachers who can be very strict and adults that Not that Minchin is simply a one-dimensonal vildon’t care about your feelings.” lain, she noted. Sara’s ability to survive through the use of her imagination and games is one of the character traits “I made up a back story for her – I think maybe she most enjoys, Albert said. she was abused as a child, and she wants people to know that she has the power now.” “I like how kind she is to the others,” Albert said. The Grade 8 Elgin Park student said she’s also “She’s so brave, and how she gets through tough been enjoying researching the late Edwardian period times teaches them to be brave, too.” Albert, who also sings with the White Rock Chilof the current SYTCO production. dren’s Choir (she travelled with them to Europe last “This may seem a bit girly, but I like the style of the clothing.

Voices for Africa
Led by artistic director Liana Savard, the Vancouver Orpheus Male Choir performs in To Africa With Love, a beneďŹ t concert in conjunction with Ubuntu Ogogo at Northwood United Church on Saturday. The concert raised money for the grandmothers of sub-Saharan Africa to help raise their grandchildren orphaned by HIV and AIDS.
Orpheus Choir performs beneďŹ t concert at Surrey church by Alex Browne IT WAS harmony for a
worthy cause when the
voices of the Orpheus Male Voice Choir got together with the Go-Go Grannies of Surrey to
raise money for African orphans Saturday night at Northwood United Church in Fleetwood.
The sold-out concert, To Africa With Love, was a fundraiser for Ubuntu Ogogo (â&#x20AC;&#x153;compassionate grandmothersâ&#x20AC;?) group, which supports the Stephen Lewis Foundation efforts to help grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa who are raising grandchildren orphaned by HIV/ AIDS. Chorus member Rob Forbes predicted the concert, after expenses, would clear some $4,500 for the project. Although based in Vancouver, the Orpheus Choir has a strong Surrey and White Rock contingent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 of the 50 members hail from the South Surrey. And Forbes said it was a pleasure to perform in a community that seems like the choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly for such a cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wife of one of our members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Barb Warren â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a key member of the Greater Vancouver Gogos,â&#x20AC;?
BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER
Forbes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She recruited us for an event more than a year ago.â&#x20AC;? Now celebrating its 20th year, the choir â&#x20AC;&#x201C; currently led by dynamic conductor Liana Savard, with piano accompaniment by Barry Yamanuochi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is noted for an eclectic repertoire that
ranges from rousing male-voice classics to sacred and folk songs, Canadiana, pop ballads and even rock nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. Joined by versatile percussionist Bruce Henczel, the ensemble rocked the rafters with such African themed pieces as the everpopular Wimoweh,
Kwmbayah and the traditional Zulu and work song Siyahamba (We Are Marching), which featured Forbes as soloist. But the multi-national feel of the concert was apparent in everything from traditional Latin See MONEY / Page 51

The Surrey Food Bank, a highly used resource in the community, receives no core government funding, and depends on community events and fundraising, as the need for services is growing at a rapid pace. Evamping Rock: Sisters and Misters Rock Night will be held at Olympia Pizza Restaurant, 10257 King George Blvd. It is an all-ages event, though there is a bar for people with ID. Admission is $10, or $8 with non-perishable food items. The show starts at 8 p.m.

Driven to help students FORD OF CANADA’S fundraising programs Drive One 4 UR
Community and Drive One 4 UR School, have raised more than $1 million for Canadian schools and organizations. In B.C., Ford of Canada and B.C. dealers hosted more than 100 events in 2011, and raised more than $230,000 – the highest g total across Can Canada. Dealers throughout the province took part in the programs, which saw up to $6,000 raised for a local school or organization at each event when participants test d drove a vehicle. Dams Ford Lincoln Linco participated in the Drive One program in 2011. The Surrey dealership held eight Drive One 4 UR School events, raising a total of $16,980 for Surrey and Langley schools. The program is now gearing up for its third year. Students are shown the solar panels that provide hot water for Delta Secondary School.
Education awards for aboriginal students SIX STUDENTS from Surrey were among 117 B.C. aboriginal
students granted a total of $311,500 by the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society. The six students are Douglas College attendee Amanda McLaughlin, James Dekker, who attends Kwantlen Polytechnic University, University of British Columbia students Calvin Buchanan and Daniel Mikl, and Vancouver Community College student Gloria Wilson (one UBC student’s name was withheld). Funded from the returns on a $10-million endowment fund established by the province in 2007 to improve aboriginal achievement and access to education, the B.C. Aboriginal Student Awards range from $1,000 to $3,500. They are awarded annually to aboriginal students pursuing post-secondary education in B.C. The society works with the Victoria Foundation to provide scholarships to students attending public post-secondary institutions throughout the province and internationally. To date, the society has awarded more than $3.8 million from its scholarship programs. “It’s part of our commitment to ensuring access to education for deserving students from throughout the province,” said society chairman Hugh Gordon.
Panel discussion heads to school roof I t is not everyday that high school students become enthused about a guided tour of their school roof, but at Delta Secondary School, students recently had ample reason to get excited about a trip to the top of their school. Delta School District Energy Manager Jim White visited the school to show the Environment Club the solar panels installed on the roof. The panels were installed last year to provide a solar hot water heating system for the school. Although contributing just a small percentage to the overall hot water system, the educational benefits of having students monitor the system are invaluable. The solar hot water system can be monitored online and is incorporated into classroom work. The solar panel initiative is of interest to the Delta Secondary Environment Club, which has a mandate of finding and implementing sustainable initiatives in their school. The group is taking part in BC Hydro’s Energy Ambassadors program. The program empowers students to take action with regards to energy conservation. A partnership between secondary school teams, school districts and BC Hydro, the Energy Ambassadors program
focuses on awareness, action and leadership. Last year, all of Delta’s seven high schools took part. Delta Secondary, Seaquam Secondary and Burnsview Secondary all installed solar panels, thanks to grants from Solar B.C., Natural Resources Canada, and Fortis B.C. Delta Secondary, received a $6,000 grant from the Delta School District to install low-energy lights in their school foyer and outdoor areas, initiated a soft plastic recycling program, and created a centennial garden to teach students about gardening and the importance of sustainable food growth. Seaquam Secondary, was involved with preserving local streams, reducing paper in classrooms, organizing lights-out days, and presenting environmental initiatives to elementary schools. As part of the Energy Ambassadors program, all participating schools were eligible to apply for a BC Hydro Conservation Grant. Due to their efforts, both Delta Secondary and Seaquam Secondary were recently awarded a $1,000 grant from to help with their future endeavors. Seaquam will soon install a second water bottle refilling station at their school.

NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR SURREY MEMORIALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TINIEST PATIENTS
Ravinder Binning admits to 2008 fatal hit-and-run
Guilty plea in crash that killed 2 seniors by Sheila Reynolds
EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
Elly Lee visits with her daughter Celine in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Celine weighed just 1,600 grams (3.5 pounds) when she arrived early Feb. 9, but thanks to new technology on loan to the pediatric unit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Total Parenteral Nutrition Compounder, which precisely mixes food for premature and ill babies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Celine now weighs 1,860 grams, or more than four pounds. The SMH Foundation is raising money to purchase its own TPN Compounder. See story, page 5.
Teachers plan next move by Tom Fletcher and Sheila Reynolds RESPONDING TO legislation tabled this
week, teachers across the province, including those in Surrey and Delta, are deciding whether to escalate job action and walk out of classes.
Just as the Labour Relations Board gave B.C. teachers a green light to strike for up to three days next week, Education Minister George Abbott introduced a new law Tuesday that would suspend all strike action and could impose millions of dollars in fines per day if a strike persists.
While the legislature debated the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education Improvement Act,â&#x20AC;? teachers across the province took a strike vote Tuesday and Wednesday, with the results expected to be announced Thursday (after The Leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press deadline). See MEDIATION / Page 3

THE DRIVER of the car that killed her mother and father in a crash nearly four years ago pleaded guilty in court Tuesday, but Varinder Badh says Ravinder Binningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission comes four years too late and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t erase the fact he fled the deadly scene without helping the victims. Varinder was in a car with her parents, Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh, and sister Rupi in 2008 when they were struck from behind by another vehicle on 128 Street near 85 Avenue. The family was returning home from a wedding Ravinder rehearsal. Binning Dilbag, 61, and his wife Bakhshish, 60, died at the scene and their two daughters suffered serious injuries. The occupants of the car that hit them ran away. While the crash occurred in July 2008, Binning was not arrested and charged until June 2010. See FAMILY / Page 3
