Cougar Canyon Elementary Grade 4 student Tea Van Acken, 9, gets her head shaved by hair stylist Shona Richardson-Dyck during a fundraiser last Wednesday. Tea began raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society when she learned two parents of kids at the school were battling the disease. So far, with the school pitching in $1,000, Tea has raised more than $2,500.
B.C. betting on horse racing Province gives more gambling profits to harness and thoroughbred industry by Jeff Nagel THE PROVINCE is injecting more gambling
profits back into B.C.’s horse racing industry. Victoria previously gave out allocations to support and help run both standardbred and thoroughbred racing based on a share of revenues generated. But with revenue dropping, the operating and aid dollars were also set to dwindle, so the province has instead increased its grant to a fixed amount of $10 million per year. The move will provide stability and certainty in terms of government support, according to a Dec. 10 letter from Derek Sturko, assistant deputy minister at the province’s Gaming
Policy and Enforcement Branch and chair of the B.C. Horse Racing Industry Management Committee. Between the provincial grant and wagering profits, the industry will have $48 million to operate from the industry revenue fund in 2011, up from $44.9 million this year. More money will go into race purses as well as a new $800,000 advertising and marketing fund. Sturko cited the “difficult financial circumstances in which the industry finds itself and the significant decline in revenue that was experienced in 2010” for the policy change. Howard Blank, vice-president of Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which operates
Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, welcomed the new marketing money. “We’re going to be quite creative in how we use that,” he said, adding the province’s commitment is positive. “It’s a guaranteed revenue stream,” Blank said. “We’re going to take that tool and work together with the horsemen on providing an outstanding product to the public.” Blank said there have been no new developments on talk of potentially consolidating standardbred and thoroughbred racing at a single location and stressed the finances are not strong. “The industry is still suffering sharp declines,” Blank said.

arrested after someone shot out the rear window of a Black VW Jetta Saturday morning near the Port Mann Bridge that connects Surrey to Coquitlam. The Jetta was heading east on Highway 1 between Grandview Highway and the Port Mann towards Surrey around 2:20 a.m. when one of the occupants of a Gray Pontiac Sunfire started shooting at the VW with a high-velocity air pistol. The rear window of the Jetta was shattered, but the occupants were not hurt, police said. The woman driving the VW managed to call 911 with the licence plate of the Sunfire. The suspect vehicle was intercepted a few minutes later by Port Mann Highway Patrol officers. There were five people inside, the 18-year-old driver, an 18-year-old passenger in the front seat and three 17-year-olds in the back. All were from Surrey. They did not resist arrest. An air pistol replica of a 9-mm handgun was located in the vehicle. Charges of dangerous driving and numerous weapons offences are expected against the two older occupants. All have been released from custody. The attack was believed to be random, police said. Any witnesses to the shooting are asked to contact the Port Mann Highway Patrol 604-526-9744 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Woman’s arm broken in dog attack
On track:
Profits in 2010 From page 1
Injured in her own backyard by Sheila Reynolds IT’S BEEN more than a week since Elizabeth Zeek was attacked by
two dogs in her own backyard. But she won’t soon forget the terror she felt. And with one arm broken and the other severely damaged, there are constant physical reminders of the horrific incident. Zeek stepped out of her Whalley basement suite into her yard last Sunday (Dec. 12) only to be surprised by two dogs – one of which leapt at her without warning. She had no idea they were in her yard and were apparently visiting someone in another suite in the fourplex where Zeek lives. “I heard dogs but I thought they were upstairs,” Zeek says. “Without growling or anything, the black dog jumped on me and started biting my arms.” A second dog was sitting watching while Zeek screamed and attempted to fight off the first dog. An upstairs Elizabeth Zeek neighbour finally came to her assistance and managed briefly to pull the attacking dog away. But it broke free and charged at Zeek again, and the second dog soon joined in. Zeek said she heard the bone her left arm break during the attack, which also left her without the use of her right arm and with marks on her forehead, where one of the dogs jumped and bit her. The dogs were finally pulled away and Zeek’s husband called 911. “If I was a child, I would’ve been dead,” said the Surrey resident. “If I was out there any longer, I would’ve been dead.” While the dogs, which Zeek describes as pitbulls, were initially seized, she believes they have since been returned to their owners. The City of Surrey animal control department did not return calls to The Leader by press deadline. Zeek believes the dogs should be put down before someone else is hurt or killed.
“If I was a child, I would’ve been dead.”

“There is a lot of work that needs to be done in order to continue to try to stabilize and hopefully grow the industry.” Despite the challenges, Great Canadian Gaming is still on track to once again turn in a profit at its two B.C. racetracks for 2010. The company last month reported third-quarter pre-tax profits of $3.4 million at Fraser Downs and Hastings Park’s combined operations, including the casino gambling and hospitality sales. That was down only marginally from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009, despite an 18-per-cent drop in revenues at the two outlets, thanks to significant cost cutting. The third quarter report shows racetrack revenues at Fraser Downs/Hastings were down 35 per cent to $3.9 million, while casino gaming revenues held almost steady at $4.9 million. The third quarter report primarily blames the revenue drops on an accounting change regarding the company’s stake in TBC Teletheatre BC. The two B.C. “racinos” now show pre-tax profit of $9.1 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to $10 million for the same period of 2009. Doug McCallum, new CEO of Harness Racing B.C., said the association is pleased with the commitment of the government to increase the allocation for the 2011 season. “The new marketing money is also welcomed to promote and build the industry,” he said. The 2011 season at Fraser Downs was temporarily in limbo while the B.C. Horse Racing Management Committee and Great Canadian Gaming Corp. reviewed B.C.’s thoroughbred and standardbred racing industries. Discussions have been aimed at balancing declining revenues and devising a long-term vision. But an agreement reached between Great Canadian and Harness Racing B.C. guarantees at least 70 racing dates in 2011, with the promise of 12 additional dates to be added next fall. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Killer’s parole comes too soon for Delta mom Parent of Melissa Chatham wins support from mayor, MLA and MP by Dan Ferguson A DELTA mother’s campaign to keep her daughter’s killer in jail has won the support of local politicians from three levels of government. Melissa Jean Chatham, 24, of Delta, was beaten to death by her boyfriend, Surrey resident Kelly David McKenzie, now 37, in his Whalley house on Sept. 21, 2008. McKenzie was originally charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter. In 2009 he was sentenced to nine years in prison, but three years were deducted to reflect the time spent in jail before his guilty plea under a formula that gives a two-for-one credit for so-
called “dead time.� On Jan. 17, 2011 McKenzie will be eligible to apply for temporary unescorted absences from prison. “It’s too soon,� said Melissa’s mother, Maureen Chatham. “That’s not even three years after her death.� She obtained the support of Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, Delta-North NDP MLA Guy Gentner and Newton-North Delta Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal following a two-hour meeting on Dec. 3 with the municipal, provincial and federal politicians. On Thursday, Jackson, Gentner and Dhaliwal released a copy of the letter they signed and sent to the national parole board supporting Maureen Chatham.

While the three would not comment on the details of the case, they did urge the parole board “to consider to its fullest extent and abilities the details surrounding he life and subsequent murder of Melissa Jean Chatham when granting any parole to Mr. McKenzie.� Maureen Chatham was pleased by the endorsement. She remains frustrated with a justice system that she said gives more consideration to criminals than victims and their families. At the 2009 sentencing hearing, she was surprised that the lawyer for McKenzie was able to have portions of her victim impact statement edited out. “None of it was slanderous,� she said.
Among the comments removed was her description of her nightmares after seeing her daughter in a coffin with her face and upper body covered to conceal the “horrific� injuries inflicted by McKenzie. “All I saw was her hands,� Chatham said.

A green Christmas
W
hat do you want for Christmas this year? Do you want to be just another statistic of debt-plagued, conspicuous consumption – or do you want the satisfaction of knowing you’ve started to make a difference in the world, through the holidays and on through the year ahead? We are told that average household waste increases by as much as 25 per cent over the Christmas season. Now would be a good time, particularly for the average cash-strapped consumer, to take a long hard look at all those disposables we tend to buy now and trash at the end of the season. Are they all absolutely necessary? Can we reduce, reuse and recycle? Wrapping paper and decorations, tend to get bought, thrown away and re-purchased year after year. Some waste is unavoidable, but where possible, we should conserve what we use this year, and reuse old supplies we already have on hand. And we can make sure that, once the merrymaking is over, the disposables go into the right recycling bins or to the right depots. Artificial Christmas trees can be reused season after season, of course, but if you have to have a real tree, remember that local events and collection drives offer opportunities for people to recycle their trees and benefit others. If you are in the fortunate situation of having more food supplies than you need, consider donating the non-perishables to the local food banks in Surrey and White Rock. And if you have household goods you no longer use, consider donating them to a charity which will enable them to be used by others. Donations of clothing, decorations and blankets, for example, can be of immeasurable value. Of the average $750 the Consumer Electronics Association tells us each household in North America plans to spend on gifts each year, some $232 will be spent on electronics. But, as you upgrade, remember that electronics, too, can be recycled – either through donations and resale, or through collection locations. Yes, Virginia, the Grinch is green – but do such measures make for a drab, bahhumbug Christmas? They don’t have to. The season is intended as a celebration and we have every right to spread a little light and joy at this time. But consideration for our neighbours – and for the planet – is a gift that costs each of us far less than most of our extravagant baubles. And it’s a gift that will give back to us for years to come. – The Peace Arch News

The NDP is leaderless, rudderless and presenting as tempting a target as Stockwell Day in his legendary wetsuit. Would there be some kind of campaign about ideas if a B.C. election were to be held next year? No. It would almost unavoidably devolve into a referendum on the harmonized sales tax, which is why Clark wants to ditch the tax first. Would Clark, or any of the other contenders for that matter, run on a platform of keeping the HST? They all claim to support the tax, but would they stake their shiny new premiership on it? I very much doubt it. The likely strategy would be to sacrifice the HST, and then the scheduled election law. Two sensible reforms, discarded.

Tax and fee hikes: Just the beginning We need RE: “SURREY takes on $200 million in debt,” The
Leader, Dec 10. Now that Mayor Dianne Watts has been voted the fourth best mayor in the world no less, it was just a matter of time before we taxpayers heard the thud of the second shoe dropping: her worship’s grandiose legacy projects. Not content with a new city hall and a wall full of greenery on the South Surrey public library, we’re told that a new City Centre Library, a City Centre parking facility, and various swimming pools, recreation centres and cricket pitches are in the works. The bottom line: over a quarter-billion dollars of committed expenditures and a debt burden of $200 million to be paid back over a period of 15 years. And it doesn’t end there. As our mayor has
recently stated, “it’s unbelievable that Surrey does not have a large stadium to host major sporting events.” It can be just a matter of time before we’re told that due to popular demand, Surrey has decided to build a multi-million-dollar sports stadium. Pardon my skepticism, but taxpayers have learned from bitter experience that any expenditure forecasts emanating from politicians and bureaucrats tend to wildly understate costs and overstate revenues. Case in point: the Vancouver Olympics. And when two of the most senior members on council – Marvin Hunt, chair of Surrey’s finance committee, and former mayor Bob Bose – voice doubts as to the underlying numbers and assumptions and the wisdom of embarking on such a spending spree, thoughtful citizens
should sit up and take notice. None of these projects could remotely be considered urgent and essential. A more prudent approach would be to prioritize them, stage construction over a period of years and pay for them on an as-you-go basis out of revenue. In other words, to continue to live within our means as Surrey has done, to its credit, for the past quartercentury. One suspects it was this past fiscal responsibility that got Mayor Watts the nod as best mayor in the first place. Otherwise, look out taxpayers, this year’s modest hikes to taxes and service costs will be just the beginning. Chris Hodgson Surrey
Positioned for a prosperous future SURREY CITY council has now approved the 2011 budget, which includes a five-year financial plan for 2011 through 2015. As chair of the city’s finance committee, I am pleased that the City of Surrey will continue to set the standard in the region in relation to maintaining the lowest residential property taxes in the region and the secondlowest business taxes in the region while delivering high-quality services to our residents. The City of Surrey is moving forward with the most comprehensive construction and capital works program in the city’s history. The approved five-year financial plan includes funding for the innovative Build Surrey Program, a comprehensive initiative that will see the construction of a series of large scale capital projects that will benefit every town centre and every corner of our city. The Build Surrey projects will be constructed over the next six years. The five-year financial plan will not increase property taxes to pay for the Build Surrey infrastructure program. However, the five-year plan does call for property tax increases of 2.9 per cent for each year of the plan to address the city’s ongoing, day-today operating requirements. The city will maximize the use of existing reserves to fund the Build Surrey projects but some borrowing from external sources will be necessary over the next five years. The city currently has an investment portfolio of $650 million, of which a minimum of $65 million is available to fund the Build Surrey projects. Over the next five years, the city will be borrowing approximately $195 million from the Municipal Finance Authority for the Build
British Columbians are being ripped off
informed voters
RE: LOWERING the voting age.
This idea has been floated before. It’s asinine because it will not solve the underlying problem. Voter turnout in elections at all three levels is low and many voters sit out because they say they cannot vote for any of the candidates. Some suggest lowering the voting age as a way to increase the number of voters. Why does anyone think the percentage participation of newly eligible voters will be any higher? Are they merely looking for quantity? Many in favour of this seem to ignore the downside. Save for some, the children of this age group do not have the interest in or the maturity to know the consequences of their decisions. Too many even balk about homework and school starting at 8 a.m. Their interests are not in the political sphere, nor should they be at this age. Voters are looking for perfection in the candidates. This is an impossibility. No candidate can be everything to every voter. This is where one needs to do some horse trading to determine which party and its leader represent their views. Once this is determined, you should vote even if your candidate is weak. Until it is changed, it is the party that counts. Complaining about “none of the above” is just a cop out. This is where authorities have a job to do, namely to educate these voters – not the kids. Our system requires voter participation and informed voters are the best for it. Dave Bains, Surrey
Borrowing money to fund the Build Surrey Program is necessary in order to provide high-quality services to residents, a Surrey councillor argues. Surrey projects. This borrowing will be repaid using existing capital revenue sources plus revenues from a new annual secondary suite fee of $240; revenues generated from the activities of the city’s development corporation; revenues that the city receives from the BC Lottery Corporation; grants from other levels of government; revenues from parking and digital signage located throughout the city; parking; and lease revenues from city facilities.
The five-year plan also includes a special road levy that will be equivalent of a one-per-cent increase in property taxes per year to 2015 that will be used to address road improvement, maintenance and safety issues. During my work as a councillor in Surrey I have been inspired by world-renowned architect Bing Thom, who taught me the basic principal: “build the city where people want to live and everything else will follow.”
REGARDING THE published warning of impending
Hydro rate increases. A lot of people use electric heat as it is green as opposed to burning fossil fuels. In winter months we are looking at an additional $20 increase, which will be ultimately way higher after three years. The whole process is further insulting knowing that the Crown jewel is a major moneymaker for general government coffers when all the profits should be reinvested in Hydro infrastructure. The citizens of British Columbia are being ripped off again by this Liberal government. We
To that end, the Build Surrey Program investment is necessary to ensure we continue to provide high-quality services for our residents to enhance the quality of life they enjoy and to create a city where there are both jobs and opportunities for our residents. We are well positioned for a prosperous future. Tom Gill Surrey councillor and chair of the finance committee
are supposed to all be owners of BC Hydro to keep rates down. The Liberals are paying off their deficit and their huge salaries under the guise of needed rate increases. Again, it’s the most vulnerable who will suffer – seniors and minimum wage earners. How much higher does the number have to grow for food banks and hungry children? Come on, how stupid do you think we are? When’s election time? Paul Fitzgerald Cloverdale
Less care IN RESPONSE to The Leader’s ques-
tion of the week: Do you have a family member affected by the increase in care home rates for seniors? Yes, my mother is living at Northcrest Care Centre. Fraser Health raised her rent last year by $300 and 2011 will see another increase of $500. Fraser Health is robbing seniors of all the money they had saved for their later years.

Thieves running off with running vehicles
Brother of shooting victim arrested in Surrey
Police warn public not to leave cars unattended
Case linked to Vancouver gun battle Black Press THE PROVINCIAL anti-gang
police force has arrested the brother of a man whose murder may have spurred a 10-person shooting in Vancouver. Sukhveer Dhak, 26, was arrested in Surrey near 136 Street and 58 Avenue without incident Saturday afternoon. He’s been charged with one count of counselling to commit
an indictable offence of aggravated assault for an incident that was to occur in Surrey on Nov. 15, 2010. Dhak’s brother Gurmit, 32, was shot to death in a parking lot outside Metrotown mall in Burnaby on Oct. 16. Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu has said the murder is connected to a massive shooting on Dec. 10 that injured 10 people near Oak Street and
West 22 Avenue in that city. Sgt. Shinder Kirk of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said Dhak is well-known to police and was on bail at the time of his arrest in connection with Project Gateway, a joint drug trafficking investigation between the Delta Police Department, Surrey RCMP and the gang task Force. - with files from CTV News
Black Press ONCE AGAIN, the cold weather is bring-
ing a brisk warning from Surrey RCMP looking to thwart winter car thieves. Like clockwork, every winter the Surrey RCMP sees a sharp increase in the number of vehicle thefts, where the car was taken with the keys. Statistics show the number of cars stolen with keys left in the ignition can sometimes increase by 150 per cent during the winter months.

“This is a trend we see every winter,” said Cpl. Mike Spencer, Surrey RCMP Auto Crime Target Team. “Certain car thieves will actually target those who warm up their car and leave it unattended. It is also very common to see with every theft of this nature that the victim will indicate that he or she ‘had just run inside to grab something’, only to come back out and see their car driving away.” Police are urging the public not to be fooled by this crime of opportunity. Police recommend that your vehicle’s engine will warm up a lot quicker of you simply start the engine, wait 30 seconds, and then drive away.

investors by promising them a 60-per-cent profit has been fined the full amount he stole plus a $31-million penalty. At $47 million, the total penalty is the largest ever assessed by the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC). Con artist Sung Wan (Sean) Kim is unlikely to ever pay any part of it. Kim reportedly fled back to his native Korea after the BCSC issued a temporary ban against him in 2009. Kim preyed upon well-off members of a Korean church in Burnaby, using fake letters and legal documents to convince 36 people to invest $15.7 million in his company, Cirplus Futures Inc. His clients thought their money was being invested in U.S. treasury bills, stock market options and futures contracts that would produce a guaranteed five-percent monthly profit. Instead, the money went straight into Kim’s personal account. Except for some investors who got a little money on their non-existent investments at the very beginning, everybody who did business with Cirplus lost everything they invested. One person who gave Kim $1.4 million told the BCSC he was “essentially bankrupt.” A BCSC panel decision released last week has banned Kim from trading or purchasing securities or exchange contracts and engaging in investor relations activities. The order against Kim requires him to “disgorge profits to the Commission of $15.7 million and to pay an administrative penalty of $31.4 million.” The B.C. Securities Commission is an independent provincial government agency responsible for regulating stock market-related trading.

Letter carrier attacked GARBAGE AND RECYCLING PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT
‘Welfare Wednesday’ a hazardous time for postal workers by Dan Ferguson A 44-YEAR-OLD Surrey letter carrier was attacked minutes after he picked up his bundle of mail from the grey Canada Post box outside a Whalley apartment building near 132 Street and 105 Avenue on Wednesday morning. The building manager, who declined to give his name, said the Canada Post employee safely delivered their mail around 11:30 a.m. then was attacked shortly after he exited the building. The letter carrier was rushed to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening head injuries. Canada Post employees have been told the injured man was conscious and able to speak. His bag of mail was found at the scene with a nearly-full load of mail still in it. The incident happened on “welfare Wednesday,� the time of the month when letter carriers deliver government assistance cheques in Sur-

Welfare cheques, like all mail, can only be dropped off at the address on the envelope. Sometimes, the postal employee said, people waiting for their government cheques can get angry and threatening when they’re told they have to wait.

Metro chair Jackson back for final year Provincial decision on garbage plan a key priority by Jeff Nagel DELTA MAYOR Lois Jackson is back
as chair of the Metro Vancouver board for a sixth straight year. She was acclaimed at the Dec. 10 Metro board meeting. “It will be my last year,” Jackson said, adding she will step aside as board chair at the end of 2011 regardless of whether she seeks another term as mayor in Delta in municipal elections next fall. “That is a long time for the region to have someone sit as chair,” she said. “I am very humbled to have been there.” Jackson said a key priority for next year is to get the provincial government’s approval to proceed with a draft solid waste management plan that could see Metro build a new garbage incinerator in the region. Metro reps met recently with new environment minister Murray Coell to brief him on the plan but Jackson isn’t optimistic there will be a speedy answer while the BC Liberal leadership race is under-

3 police forces, 4 raids and 9 charged Grow-ops busted Black Press NINE PEOPLE are facing trial on drug-related charges following raids on four properties in Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford earlier this year. The June 10 raids were the work of the Langley and Surrey RCMP drug sections and the Abbotsford Police. Marijuana grow operations were located at all four properties. Charges have been approved against nine individuals. Four are from Surrey, four from Langley and one from Chilliwack. The multiple charges include production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, as well fraudulently consuming electricity or gas. Those charged include include Jack Davis, 41, of Surrey, Colleen Davis,
40, of Surrey, Allan Davis, 65, of Surrey, and Lesley Davis, 61, of Surrey. Also named are Langley residents Brent Goss, 39, Christopher Brookes, 30, Tyler O’Neill, 30, (also charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm), and Alexis O’Neill, 34, (also charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm). Grace Polywkan, 25, of Chilliwack was also charged. Police say Jack and Colleen Davis owned three of the four properties. On Nov. 19, 2010, the courts granted a restraint and management order on two of the properties, one in Surrey valued at $1.6 million and one in Langley valued at $750,000. That means they can be sold and the money collected by the government if the owners are found guilty. newsroom@surreyleader.com
Police warn ’tis the season... ...of online theft and scams Black Press ONLINE BUYING and selling can be hazardous, Sur-
rey RCMP are warning in the wake of four reported incidents where people were robbed of their personal items or funds by individuals who had agreed to buy from them or sell to them using online advertisements. In each incident, the victims met the suspect at an agreed-upon location only to be robbed with the threat of physical violence, sometimes involving weapons. Often the suspect was joined by associates after making contact with the victim. These incidents were believed to be unrelated and have taken place in various locations in the city, police said. As a result, the RCMP are reminding the public to remember the following safety tips: • Avoid meeting in secluded areas and choose a safe public place when other persons are around. • Consider having a friend accompany you and tell a friend or family member where you are going. • If possible, take your cellphone along with you and always trust your instincts.

Bacon brother sentenced to 7 years Judge cites public concern over escalating gun violence by Kevin Diakiw and Dan Ferguson JAMES BACON has been sentenced to seven years in prison on multiple weapons charges. He was given a 40-month credit for time already served, meaning he will spend another three years and eight months in jail. His seven-year sentence was on the upper end of the three to 10 years given for such offenses. Judge Jean Lytwyn said she would have imposed a longer jail time had it not been for Charter of Rights violations of Bacon by B.C. Corrections, which kept him in segregation while awaiting trial. “Although the offender is entitled to the benefit of the lower penalty, I should not be blind to the increased community concerns about the escalating number of targeted shootings and firearms in the Lower Mainland,” Lytwyn said. Crown prosecutor Teresa Mitchell-Banks had been seeking a 10to 12-year jail sentence on the 10 gun-related offences Bacon was convicted of. They include several counts of unauthorized
possession of a firearm and possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm. Bacon was also convicted of one count of criminal drug possession because he admitted to carrying 108 Oxycodone pills, a powerful painkiller better known by the U.S. brand name of OxyContin. James Bacon and his brother Jarrod were charged three years ago after police officers discovered a hidden compartment in a Chevy Suburban parked in the garage of the Bacon residence. It contained four loaded handguns, a Glock 40-calibre Model 23, a Sig Sauer 45-calibre Model P220, a Glock 40-calibre Model 22 and a Ceska Zbrojovka Model TT9, 9-mm, all restricted weapons, along with five loaded ammunition magazines. Lytwyn gave James Bacon three years for the Glock, which he fired the night it was seized, and she sentenced him to one year consecutively for each of the other weapons. She also imposed a lifetime ban from possessing firearms. Bacon’s older brother Jarrod was charged with
bruising between his shoulder blades. Jarrod was not home the night of the shooting. Lytwyn said the evidence proved the Glock was fired by James Bacon during the gun battle and that he hid the gun in the compartment or had someone else put it there before the police arrived. The evidence against Jarrod differed from that of his brother, Lytwyn said. While MitchellBanks argued the discovery of Jarrod’s DNA on the magazine of the Glock fired by James meant Jarrod was involved, Lytwyn said the “biological material containing the DNA found on the magazine is too small, too inconclusive to lead to the conclusion suggested by the Crown.” Supt. Tom McCluskie, with the integrated gang task force, said outside the court that he’s satisfied with the sentence and pleased with the judge’s narrative about the public’s growing concern over gun violence. “It’s important to keep the most dangerous gangsters off the street,” McCluskie said, adding he has no illusions that the violence will stop.
James Bacon the same offences, but the judge said there wasn’t enough evidence to link him to the concealed weapons. In November, Lytwyn described the custombuilt hiding place underneath the vehicle’s centre console cup holder as a “sophisticated secret compartment.” It was discovered by police following the attempted murder of James Bacon by one or more assassins who opened fire with .45-calibre handguns when James returned to the family home in his brother Jarrod’s Corvette after a night out around 1 a.m. April 13, 2007. James fled from the car, getting shot in the back as he ran for his life. Because he was wearing a bullet-proof vest, he escaped with severe
“It’s not a question of if we’re going to have more violence, but when.” The Bacon brothers
grew up in Abbotsford, but briefly moved to Surrey with their parents in 2007.
After the shooting attack, the family returned to Abbotsford. newsroom@surreyleader.com

In addition to the combined sevenpoint effort from the Morleys, other Eagles figuring prominently on the stat sheet were Hunt, Vanderhoek and Daniel Gentzler, each of whome finished with a goal and an assist. Rookie Michael Stenerson added a third-period goal, on the power-play, to round out the scoring. The Eagles’ two wins vaulted them past the Victoria Grizzles and into third place in the BCHL’s Coastal Conference with a record of 22-12-1-2 (won-losstied-overtime loss), good for 47 points, which is just one back of the Chiefs. Powell River is still the class of the conference, with 61 points – they’ve lost just five games in regulation time this season. Surrey now breaks for the holidays, as players scatter to their respective homes for the week, before returning after Christmas. The team’s next game is Wednesday, Dec. 29 at home against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. The following day, the Eagles host the Nanaimo Clippers. SICK BAY: The Eagles played both weekend games without the services of bruising power forward Jeff Vanderlugt, who is still out with a concussion. The six-foot-three Ontario native has missed eight games this season, but is still third in team scoring, with 34 points in 29 games.

For the youngest clients Tiny Bundles program provides extra nutrition for moms and babies at the Surrey Food Bank by Boaz Joseph
T
he paperwork was already being filled out. It was practically a done deal. Savaya was going to put her four-month-old boy up for adoption. It was a difficult decision, but months of financial despair had brought the 28-year-old to that point in September. Today, warmed up by hot chocolate and with her now-sixth-month-old wrapped in a white snowsuit bouncing in her lap at the Surrey Food Bank, Savaya (not her real name) explains what led her to the brink, and how she stepped back. When she was eight months pregnant, she learned that the baby’s father wasn’t going to return from the U.S. – he was being treated for a mental illness. Savaya already had a six-year-old girl to take care of, and was collecting Employment Insurance while on maternity leave. Her income was cut by 40 per cent. She was alone and was getting desperate.
EVAN SEAL PHOTOS / THE LEADER
Mothers of newborns are given layettes to take home in the Surrey Food Bank’s Tiny Bundle’s program. The packages include toys, clothes, wash cloths, blankets and toiletry items. “I was feeling hopeless in the last part of my pregnancy,” she recalls. “It was horrible when I found out his dad wasn’t coming. I had an adoption agency at my house ready to adopt him. I was exploring the decision as a ‘yes’ until I figured out that it was not what I wanted.” She had learned about the Surrey Food Bank’s Tiny Bundles program through a neighbour, and changed her mind. Her weekly visits transformed everything. She was given food, clothing and
other items for her newborn. The best thing was baby formula. “I actually ran out of milk when I was breastfeeding. My daughter I breast-fed for eight months, no problem. With him, I ran out of milk and he was crying all the time. Once I put him on formula he was good.” She says the formula she gets lasts one week – just the right amount. Tiny Bundles “takes a lot of stress off so I’m probably a better mother for my children because I’m not worried about how I’m going to put food on the table.” Savaya says she didn’t expect to get the support she has from the food bank, having been under the impression that it wasn’t for working people. “This has been a huge help. I’m feeling happy. I don’t know how I’d be without it.” She insists that being a client is n for only a temporary situation her. She has the option of going back to her old job in finance ance or upgrading her education and working from home while raising her two kids. “This isn’t a long-term thing. It’s until I get back on my feet.”

• The program allows expectant moms and new mothers to come for hampers once a week up to the age of one. • Mothers of newborns are given a layette with extra goodies: The collection includes clothes, toiletry items, a baby carrier, blankets, wash cloths, bibs, soothers, toys and Q-Tips. Every

layette is different. • Nursing and expectant moms are supplied with milk and eggs. Those not breastfeeding are given baby formula. • All baby items (except formula) are by donation. Some groups hold fundraising events specifically for Tiny Bundles, and most of the money is spent on formula. The food bank spends $10,000 on formula every six weeks. • Babies get a “grad gift” on their first birthday. It includes more clothes, toys and personal items. “It’s our congratulatory gesture,” says Surrey Food Bank Executive Director y Herrmann. “For a lot Marilyn familie these (including of families, the first llayettes) are the only new item items they will receive be because they just don’t h have the dollars to buy new.” • When babies reach the age of one and wean off formula o breast milk, famior lie lies receive more “transitional” foods in their sition hampers such as more whole milk, eggs, yogurt, crackers, pastas and fruit cups. • Diapers are given up to the age of two. • Tiny Bundles supports 170-200 babies per week. • Thousands of babies have been served since the program started in 2001. The Surrey Food Bank needs your support through volunteering and donations of food or money – a week’s supply of formula for one baby costs about $30.
