Labour deal averts Canada Line strike SkyTrain workers also have tentative agreement by Jeff Nagel
EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
Paramedics tend to a 13-year-old girl, now identified as Anna Nguyen, who was shot in the back in a house in Fleetwood on Friday. The body of a deceased man was found later in the burning home. The girl is now recovering in hospital.
Teen says man who shot her was a family friend Details unclear as to what he was doing in house or why he had a gun by Kevin Diakiw THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Anna Nguyen says it was a
family friend who shot her in the back on Friday. She was at home alone on the morning of March 25 when a man in his 30s came to the door. Because he was a family friend, she let him in. He went to Anna’s room, and a few minutes later, attacked the 13-year-old and pulled a gun. “I just remember a really loud bang and then how my body was numb,” Nguyen told CTV News on
Saturday. “Then he left to go to my mom’s room and then I grabbed my phone and ran out the back door.” She grabbed her cellphone and ran from the home, in the 15700 block of 90 Avenue in Fleetwood. She was found two blocks away, near Woodland Park Elementary, where she goes to school. Police then responded to a fire at the home, where they discovered the body of the man. Friends say Anna has lived in the home for about four years.

LABOUR PEACE appears to be at hand for Metro Vancouver’s rapid transit system. A first contract reached last week with Canada Line workers ended the threat of a strike disrupting service on the region’s newest line. The nearly 200 control room operators, attendants and maintenance staff voted 87 per cent to accept the threeyear collective agreement, terms of which were not made public. Canada Line staff represented by the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union had previously voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action but never issued 72-hour strike notice. The 19-kilometre line linking Richmond, Vancouver and the airport is run for TransLink by operator Protrans BC. A tentative contract has also been reached with more than 500 SkyTrain workers who run and maintain the Expo and Millennium Lines. CUPE local 7000 rep David Fleming said the results of a mail-in ratification vote now underway will not be known until next week. Unionized SkyTrain employees had also voted to strike before returning to mediated talks with TransLink’s SkyTrain subsidiary. Bargaining had been underway since the previous contract expired last August. Negotiations are getting started between TransLink and its bus drivers across Metro Vancouver. Their previous contract, which ensured labour peace during the 2010 Winter Olympics, expires March 31.

Earth Hour’s power savings double this year Pitt Meadows leads B.C., Surrey and Delta middle of the pack by Jeff Nagel
Haunting the stage
BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER
Haley Horton of Richmond Academy of Dance performs ‘Possessed,’ a Solo Interpretive senior ballet routine, on the opening weekend of the 45th annual Surrey Festival of Dance at the Surrey Arts Centre. The festival, one of the largest amateur competitions in North America, continues until April 21.
B.C. CUT ELECTRICITY consumption by 1.8 per cent during Earth Hour Saturday evening, and Pitt Meadows topped the province with a 5.7 per cent reduction. B.C. Hydro officials said they were pleased by the response to the hour of conservation for climate change awareness, now in its fourth year here. Provincewide, 117 megawatt hours of electricity were saved as many residents switched off lights, TVs and other appliances and instead lit candles or went for a walk. The reduction was nearly twice as much as in 2010, when a 1.04 per cent cut was measured, and equivalent to turning off 7.8 million 15-watt compact fluorescent bulbs. Maple Ridge was the second-best Metro Vancouver city in the Earth Hour rankings, Community Results: with a 3.9 per cent power saving. It was followed by Port Coquitlam at Pitt Meadows 5.70% three per cent, North Vancouver City at 2.85 Whistler 4.35% per cent and Coquitlam, Mission and North Maple Ridge 3.90% Vancouver District all at 2.25 per cent. Port Coquitlam 3.00% Delta was middle of the pack with 2.1 per Coquitlam 2.25% cent. Mission 2.25% The region’s worst performers were West Delta 2.10% Vancouver at just 0.51 per cent, Burnaby at Port Moody 2.10% 0.89 per cent and Langley City at 0.99 per Abbotsford 1.65% cent. Richmond 1.65% Vancouver and Surrey were tied at 1.5 per Surrey 1.50% cent, while Richmond and Abbotsford were Vancouver 1.50% slightly better at 1.65 per cent. New Westminster 1.49% The lights barely dimmed at all during Langley DM 1.34% Earth Hour in West Kelowna and Williams Chilliwack 1.07% Lake, where the saving was just 0.11 per White Rock 1.01% cent. Langley City 0.99% “We encourage our customers to think Burnaby 0.89% about how to live a little bit of Earth Hour West Kelowna 0.11% every day,” said Lisa Coltart, B.C. Hydro’s Williams Lake 0.11% executive director of Power Smart and customer care. Not everyone was impressed. Residents in various Metro Vancouver cities took to Twitter to complain of “dismal” Earth Hour participation in their neighbourhoods. Others argued the exercise is misguided, particularly in B.C., because burning candles releases more carbon that hydroelectric power. Power conservation is important for the province, as it’s a key plank in B.C. Hydro’s plan to keep pace with rising demand. Even so, the Crown corporation has applied for rate increases of as much as 50 per cent over the three years to fund $6 billion worth of infrastructure upgrades and expand its green energy supply. Sixty minutes of Earth Hour-style conservation every day would save enough electricity to power 4,000 homes for an entire year, Coltart said. jnagel@surreyleader.com
No parole for Panghali for another 11 years Crown had asked for 20-year minimum for man who murdered his pregnant wife by Kevin Diakiw MUKHTIAR PANGHALI HAS been sentenced to life in prison
with no chance of parole for 15 years in the murder of his pregnant wife Manjit. However, because of credit for the four years he’s already served, he will be eligible for parole in 11 years. Panghali was convicted of second-degree murder last month for killing 30-year-old Manjit, then burning her body in South Delta. While Mukhtiar’s conviction carries an automatic life sentence of 25 years, the judge reserved his decision last month on parole eligibility. Crown lawyer Dennis Murray argued at the time that Panghali should serve 20 years behind bars before being paroled due to the murderer’s lack of remorse for the horrific crime. Defence lawyer Michael Tammen asked for a period of
parole ineligibility of between 10 and 13 years. Mukhtiar, 38, did not report his wife missing until 26 hours after her disappearance on Oct. 18, 2006 and then held a tearful press conference with police where he pleaded for his wife’s return. In convicting him in early February, the judge said while the evidence against Mukhtiar was circumstantial, it was very powerful. That evidence included video footage of Panghali purchasing a lighter and newspaper at a local gas station the night of Manjit’s disappearance, and cellphone records that showed Mukhtiar was using Manjit’s phone for months after her death, despite
Mukhtiar Panghali
her having taken it to her yoga class the night she died. That showed she had returned home after her class that evening and that Mukhtiar was the last person to see her, said the judge. The judge also denied that the charge be downgraded from second-degree murder to manslaughter, saying that although Manjit’s death by strangulation may have been brief, it was extremely forceful – worse than that of a human hanging. “Mr. Panghali meant to cause bodily harm,” the judge said. “... and he knew it would likely cause death.” Burning the body afterwards, she noted, showed further effort and risk taken by Panghali.

HST going to mail-in vote 2011 Travel Specials Valid for travel between until May 31st/2011 SUPER SPECIALS
Referendum to be in June; expected to be half the cost by Tom Fletcher THE B.C. GOVERNMENT has
chosen the quickest, cheapest way of deciding whether to scrap the Harmonized Sales Tax. Attorney General Barry Penner said the B.C. Liberal cabinet is moving ahead with a mail-in vote on the HST with a target date of June 24. Premier Christy Clark campaigned for the leadership on an early vote, and the government expects to save more than half of the $30 million cost of an inperson vote. “Moving to a mail-in ballot is expected to save taxpayers $18 million and address potential voter fatigue” with a federal election now expected in May, Penner said. In proceeding early under the
Referendum Act, the government is taking over a process started by former premier Bill Vander Zalm last year. His Fight HST organization gathered more than 500,000 signatures to pass B.C.’s first-ever initiative petition, forcing a review of the tax. Vander Zalm was conciliatory when he was told of the government’s decision. “I’m impressed with what the premier has done,” Vander Zalm said. “She’s keeping her promise of an earlier vote. The mail-in ballot is fine with me, as long as the majority of the people have an opportunity to participate.” Clark also followed through with a promise to fund both sides of the campaign. Vander Zalm said he is con-
cerned about how much the “big business lobby” will be allowed to spend to persuade people to keep the tax, which expands the former Provincial Sales Tax to a range of previously exempt services. The Referendum Act gives the cabinet wide latitude to set the spending limits and other terms of a vote. Details of the referendum will be released later in a cabinet order, Penner said. The referendum question will use the wording proposed by Elections B.C., which is supervising the vote: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) and reinstating the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) in conjunction with the GST (Goods and Services Tax)? Yes/No.”

Teen: Said she had no reason EDQTXHW EXVLQHVV to fear man she let into house JDWKHULQJV From page 1
Nguyen’s mother was on scene Friday as the house burned, visibly shaken by what she was seeing. It was her initial impression that Anna was still in the home and that she believed Anna was at home alone. Moments later, an RCMP officer came and got Anna’s mother, saying she needed to join her daughter at Royal Columbian Hospital. Anna is described by friends as a “funny” girl, wellknown for her sleepover parties and sense of humour. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, but police initially feared someone was still in the home. Emergency Response Teams descended on the home, checking for anyone else. The SPCA was also on hand to remove a pit bull and a Rottweiler from the scene.
Anna wasn’t comfortable telling CTV News why the family friend had shot her, or what he was doing in her mother’s room – only saying, “It’s a personal matter.” She said it was totally unexpected, however, and that he was a friend of her parents who she had no reason to fear. Area resident Joise Pontes described the neighbourhood as extremely quiet, especially the Nguyen home. “I’ve never seen or heard anything from them,” Pontes said, adding Friday’s events were disturbing. “It’s sad, very sad. I feel so insecure now.” The Surrey RCMP Major Crime Unit is investigating. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com – with files from CTV News

RAESIDE
Nomination mess
A
s a school board chair, vice-president of the Vancouver Giants and wellknown man about town in Delta, the Conservatives had themselves a good candidate in Dale Saip for Delta-Richmond East. But a day and a half after his nomination win, a mystery person drops off a package at a newspaper. The package outlines Saip’s financially troubled past: one bankruptcy plus a later protection from bankruptcy filing. A politician with a past of money troubles. Makes great headlines. But is it really such a big deal? Lorne Mayencourt, a former Liberal MLA and the Conservative federal candidate in Vancouver Centre in the last election, declared bankruptcy twice. And he was pretty open about it – it was one of the first things out of his mouth when he introduced himself to our sister paper, the WestEnder, back in 2001. The 1990s were a bad decade for Saip. He threw a lot of money in an oriented strandboard mill proposal, expecting to get Chinese financial backing. Then Tianamen Square hit and the Chinese weren’t too happy about being criticized for killing unarmed protesters, so the money dried up. Throw in a divorce and a custody battle and Saip’s bottom line looked like something Jim Flaherty would come up with. Despite knowing about Saip’s old money woes, the Conservatives forced him out on Thursday after the story broke. Saip said he was upfront with Tories all along about his past financial troubles. There’s also been questions about Saip being allowed to seek the nomination in the first place. He wasn’t a member for the required amount of time, but that was waived by the Conservatives. So if this all such a big deal why did the Conservatives let him run in the first place? It likely shows that the Conservatives are running their nomination meetings with too much haste. There was an understandable desire to get candidates in place prior to last week’s election call. But the mess in Delta-Richmond East is all the Conservatives’ own doing. They’ve dumped a candidate who is seen as electable in the vote-rich Delta portion of the riding. They’ve rejected the wishes of the majority of those who voted in the nomination meeting. Dale Saip isn’t the one who should be embarrassed, it’s the Conservatives. – Black Press

s the federal parliament slid once again into partisan mayhem, former finance minister John Manley was on CBC television, making me wish he would bring his voice of reason back to Ottawa. Liberal and NDP supporters had been taking turns with accusations that the Conservatives’ corporate tax cuts only help the rich. “That’s stuff that we used to hear in the ’70s,” Manley said. “I thought that people had grown away from that.” He then patiently explained that the key holdings most in peoples’ retirement plans are bank, petroleum and other blue-chip stocks. His Liberal government’s strategy of competing for business investment in a global economy has wisely been continued under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Yet much of our political discourse at all levels of government still imagines class warfare between tycoons in silk top hats and a ragged, powerless peasantry. For B.C. voters, 2011 is shaping up as the most politically empowered year ever. The May 2 federal election now gets in

attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre. Before Education Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding all levels of government immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty reduction plans with measurable goals. Right, kind of like those five-year plans for tractor production the Soviet Union had back in the ’70s. Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more. Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize information? Can’t they see a connection between the big raises and staff increases they demand and what’s available for other programs?

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7
Upcoming election is not ‘unnecessary’ SO FRANK BUCHOLTZ thinks that an election
now is “unnecessary.” (Leader, March 25). Well, I’m sure that Stephen Harper would agree. Gambling his slim seven per cent lead against the possibility of being evicted from Sussex Drive can’t be much fun. I would also bet that he would prefer not to go to the polls right now, after being found guilty of contempt of parliament. In fact, Harper has never shown much love for the democratic process. Given the choice, he would probably just govern indefinitely,
without ever bothering with the inconvenience of elections. Unfortunately for Stephen, Canadian democracy doesn’t work that way, and when a government has lost the confidence of the house, an election becomes very necessary indeed. Despite the Conservative Economic Fiction Plan, Canada is deep in debt and getting deeper. Five years of generous corporate tax cuts, coupled with lavish military spending have hurt our ability to provide necessary services to citizens.
As a result, 65 per cent of Canadians now disapprove of Stephen Harper. Two thirds of the country wants a change of government. An election campaign is the best possible way to examine the alternatives to a widely unpopular leader. That means that for every Frank Bucholtz whimpering about an “unnecessary” election, there are at least two others saying “Election? Bring it on!” Patrick Truelove Delta
Make suite permits mandatory
RE: “20,000 SUITES, 1 permit application,” The Leader, March 23. There are 20,000 secondary suites in Surrey yet only one permit application to legalize a suite. Is the city slow or have they not quite understood that currently homeowners with secondary suites do not have to pay for anything and they are still making money off of their suites? Now the city expects people to simply own up to having a suite and then pay for a permit to “legalize” that suite. Come on city council, stop thinking like politicians looking for more tax money and start thinking like a homeowner who has a suite. The suites in question are currently “illegal” because they haven’t been inspected by the city, yet they are constructed in a safe manner because most homeowners will not put in a suite if it could be unsafe for their home. After all, if there is a fire or something, insurance would not cover the damage. You want people to get their permits? Make them mandatory. Offer them for free, offer a free inspection (for current suites only, new ones must pay) and if there are serious issues then make the owners fix the issues. Until it becomes mandatory to have a permit for suites, do not expect the residents of this city to offer to pay for their permits. Roland van Kaauwen, Surrey
Bylaw is a PR move
THE CITY of Surrey is once again proving that they are more concerned about perception than reality. The new secondary suite bylaw was supposed to clean up the illegal secondary suites that are rampant in Surrey, but so far it has done nothing more than generate some positive PR for the mayor’s office. The fact that only 46 letters have been sent in the three months since the bylaw passed (a stunning 15 letters per month or one letter every two days) just underlines the perception that this bylaw will never be enforced. The city, through its shortsighted zoning policies, created the problems with secondary suites in numerous areas of the
Honour killings in name only RE: VICTIMS in Limbo, Justice Denied. (The Leader, March 25). As a society, we have successfully mounted a negative campaign against smoking and racism. It’s time to do the same for this sort of abuse. I would suggest using the term coward. When we were kids, we would say to the playground bully to pick on his own size, we understood picking on a smaller kid was cowardice. Likewise, a man using violence against a woman, men who hit women – cowards. Men who rape women – cowards. Honourkilling should be relabelled coward-killing. Marital spats are normal. Real men are able to dialogue through them, cowards use violence.
Harvey Rempel Surrey
Misplaced priorities
EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
Secondary suites continue to be a contentious issue in Surrey. city and now is unwilling to cleanup the mess that it made. It would take less than a couple of days to go through the recent developments in Clayton and find several hundred homes with multiple suites, suites with no off-street parking, or homes where the main, basement and coach home have all been rented out by an owner that doesn’t live in the house. The city knows where the problem areas are but its unwillingness to do anything just underlines the fact that this was simply a PR move to show that they were being “tough” on an issue that resonated with a core group of Surrey voters with an election in the near future. Until the city starts mailing out 46 letters a day instead of 46 letters overall, this bylaw will just be a PR move. Mike Wellar, Surrey
Suites mean higher taxes HOPEFULLY ACTING Mayor Bar-
inder Rasode and Mayor Dianne
Watts upon her return will force those with illegal suites to have them registered and inspected to make sure they pay their proper taxes like all other Surrey homeowners have to. So far, it appears that all but one homeowner conveniently ignored the proposed action by our mayor and council. What is hard to understand is that many new homes with more than one suite were inspected and passed for many years by our building inspectors. As a builder, I have seen many homes that had secondary suite utility hooks-ups hidden, later to be exposed after inspection. Even the one-time required concrete raised sections in basements were removed to make room for one or more suites. It is time for the City of Surrey to fine those who continue to ignore the now required secondary suite registration as is done in Delta and add it to their next taxes if not done so by year end. Those with more than one suite should be charged the cost to
have them removed by city workers when discovered. Without a doubt, most of these homeowners also do not declare those revenues as an income on their annual tax returns. It is time for homeowners to pay the proper taxes for their suites, including the many services their renters now enjoy for free. Hopefully Surrey taxpayers will continue to speak out to this injustice for which they have to pay higher taxes every year and force our mayor and council to take appropriate action against violators. Illegal suites have resulted in a severe money shortage for education as Surrey has more portables as its population is growing faster than any other city in B.C. It may be time for those families with children to pay an education tax per child as done when I went to school when my parents had to pay a weekly fee for our education and also had to pay for all books and supplies many now enjoy for free. Pieter Spierenburg, Surrey
IT HAS BEEN heartbreaking hearing about the thousands of people in Japan that have lost their lives, or loved ones, and are now without clean water, food and care. That’s why I was upset to read a page 3 story about animal rescue work. Should we be impressed that Ashley Fruno got a seat on the very first flight into Tokyo to deliver food, water and care to animals? While losing a pet can be difficult, in an area of disaster the priority needs to be human lives. If I look at it from a practical manner, why is she not helping animals that the people of Japan will need as a matter of necessity, such as farm animals? But apparently to be a farmer, at least a dairy farmer (according to the article), is paradoxical to caring for animals. It is absurd that saving cats and dogs ends up being big news in light of all the human lives that have been (and still are being) devastated during this crisis. Brenda Raap Surrey

TRUST WILL be the dominant theme of the federal election campaign now underway, predicts a veteran B.C. political observer. SFU political scientist Patrick Smith said the Conservatives will argue only they can be counted on to carefully steer the economy through a still-fragile recovery and assure stability. Opposition parties, meanwhile, will contend Canadians shouldn’t trust the Tories – particularly so far as to give them a majority – because they tried to hide the full costs of the government’s crimefighting agenda and F-35 fighter jet purchases. The minority government fell on a non-confidence motion Friday when MPs voted 156-145 to find the Tories in contempt of Parliament. Election day will be May 2. “We will hear a lot about U.S.style mega-prisons and the whole idea that you can’t trust their numbers,” Smith said. “Lines like ‘Do you want fighter jets to fly around the Arctic or get all seniors out of poverty in Canada?’” Conservatives will play the economic card, he said, painting New Democrats and Liberals as blocking a budget that was poised to aid seniors in order to spark an election. Smith said he believes Prime Minister Stephen Harper decided
to trigger the election by tabling a budget carefully calculated so other parties couldn’t support it. “More than any party, the Conservatives wanted this election,” he said. “I think they looked at the polls and said ‘We’re at 39 per cent – we can grow to 42 per cent and get a majority.’” The Conservatives need 11 more
“The Conservatives have a shot at the majority.” Patrick Smith seats across the country to win a majority and some of them could come from B.C. They’ll hope to reclaim former Conservative ridings, like NewtonNorth Delta, held by Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal. Depending on the part of the Lower Mainland, the battle may not be Liberal-Conservative but Liberal-NDP or even NDPConservative. While the Conservatives hope to make gains, they will also be under threat in some areas. Smith said Tory MP Nina Grewal (Fleetwood-Port Kells) is “pretty low profile” and Dona Cadman (Surrey North) could also be
vulnerable. “Just as the Conservatives are thinking we can pick up Esquimalt, there will be people in the New Democrat and Liberal war rooms thinking, ‘We can take this from the Conservatives.’” Even traditional Conservative strongholds could be in play because of missteps, in come cases due to the whirlwind pace of nomination meetings. In Delta-Richmond East – held by John Cummins until he opted to pursue provincial politics – Conservative candidate Dale Saip has stepped down over financial problems in his past. And in South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, some Conservatives weren’t happy the party refused to allow a nomination challenge of incumbent MP Russ Hiebert, who faced a partial revolt of his riding association executive last year. Now two ex-Conservatives are running against him – one is a former White Rock mayor running for the Liberals and the other calls himself an “independent conservative.” Some seats will likely change hands in B.C., but Smith said at this point he’d have to bet on another minority government. “The Conservatives have a shot at the majority,” he said. “It’s doable. But everything has to break their way.”

Conservatives pull plug on Dale Saip Federal party reconsiders, asks candidate to resign by Martin Van den Hemel THE CONSERVATIVE candi-
date selected to try fill the shoes of long-time DeltaRichmond East MP John Cummins, was told Thursday afternoon that the party has had second thoughts. Dale Saip, chair of the Delta Board of Education and vice-president of business development for the Vancouver Giants hockey team, was asked Thursday by the Conservative Party to resign after winning Monday’s nomination. He asked for some time to think it over, but then later in the day the party sent him a letter indicating he would not be a candidate in the riding. “I’m a big boy and I can
take this stuff,� Saip said. “It’s their prerogative. I just wish we would have dealt with it last week.� He said he feels bad for the people who supported him and for his family for being embarrassed by the news. “That’s the hardest thing,� he said. Court records of Saip’s past financial woes were dropped off anonymously at Black Press offices late last Wednesday morning. They indicated he once filed for bankruptcy and on another occasion sought protection from his creditors. Saip said his financial history is a matter of public record and the party

I’m on a number of board of directors of charitable organizations ... I serve in an advisory capacity on a number of other things...and I’m the board chair of probably the
most financially balanced and creative school district in British Columbia with a budget of more than $140 million every year.� Saip’s most recent financial trouble came following a divorce from his first wife and the subsequent child-custody dispute. In explaining his insolvency, the court documents indicate he suffered “enormous stress� and was in counselling for an extended period of time during the divorce process. He incurred bank loans of about $40,000 to cover legal fees during the divorce, and paid debts and funeral costs of his See SAIP / Page 11

From page 9 late father, who died in 2001. As well, he did not file income tax returns on time, and did not pay installments. The court records indicate that Saip filed for bankruptcy in May of 1993, after the demise of a proposed Ontario-based oriented strandboard wood product manufacturing plant he and his partners at Citiport Developments Limited were coordinating. After Saip met with then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and then Ontario Premier David Peterson, the People’s Republic of China signed the deal that would see China provide $25 million in capital to build the plant in Atikokn, Ont. “Before construction of the oriented strand board plant was scheduled to commence and prior to the advancement of any funds for this project, the Beijing massacre occurred in the People’s Republic of China,” the court

and it didn’t pay off. “The other stuff, I wasn’t paying attention.” It was originally reported that Saip twice filed for bankruptcy, but trustee Harold Saunders, from Richmond-based Campbell, Saunders Ltd., clarified that after his 1993 bankruptcy, Saip instead filed a creditor proposal.

Tomasson described the partial remains of a baby boy discovered by police at the Burns Bog landfill in Delta last year, Surrey’s Courtny Dawn Taylor showed no emotion, save for a long blink. Taylor appeared before Richmond provincial court Judge Jodie Werier for a sentencing hearing on Friday morning after pleading guilty to concealing the body of a child and interference with a dead body. For the first time, details about the case were revealed to the public. According to the statement of facts agreed to by the Crown and defence, Taylor gave birth to a full-term baby boy in the bathroom of her boyfriend’s Richmond home on Jan. 31, 2010. She claims the baby was born with its umbilical cord wrapped around its neck, and that it was not moving or breathing, its face purply blue. She used a pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord, tied it off, then wrapped the baby in a towel, cleaned up the blood in the bathroom, and then awoke her sleeping boyfriend to tell him she’d had a miscarriage. Worried that the decom-
R O Y A L
she was pregnant appears to be a contentious issue. The Crown submits Taylor knew she was pregnant for many months. Based on the court cases she referred to in court, Tomasson appears to want Taylor to receive a jail sentence, either in custody or in the form of a conditional sentence to be served at home. She said the fact that Taylor disposed of the body in the way she did, impeded the police’s investigation into the baby’s cause of death, and any criminal charges that may flow from that. Tomasson also said she’d be seeking a court order that Taylor be required to notify the court should she become pregnant again. Meanwhile, Taylor’s lawyer, Chandra Corriveau, referred to a 2003 case in which the judge handed down a conditional discharge under apparently similar circumstances. Taylor was repeatedly asked by family, including her mother, and friends, including her boyfriend, if she was pregnant, but she continued to deny it. She initially told her boss she was ill, with a cancerous tumor and that’s why she was gaining weight. She also claimed to have an ovarian cyst. Her boyfriend has not been charged.
posing body would begin to smell, she suggested they throw the body into the garbage, and half a day later placed the remains in a dumpster at a nearby school. According to the Crown, Taylor missed only one shift at work, and continued to go out socially in the days that followed. When her coworkers noticed her stomach had become smaller, she confided in one of them that she’d had a miscarriage. “It was like a giant blood clot,” Taylor said to one coworker. It was another coworker who called in the police. Following a three-day search, police found the lower part of the baby’s body at the landfill. A pathologist found that the remains had suffered post-mortem trauma, possibly caused by a trash compactor. The infant’s cause of death could not be determined. During an interview with investigators, Taylor claimed she’d taken pregnancy tests in May and August of 2009, but they came back negative. When asked if she tried to hide the pregnancy, she allegedly told the investigator: “Yeah, just because I didn’t know what to do. I was really worried about what people would think.” Whether Taylor really knew

Witnesses to crash sought by police
to the NORTH SURREY LIONS for their contributions from their Craft Fair and Fas Gas BBQ!
Pedestrian killed in January collision Black Press POLICE ARE appealing
for witnesses in an accident that took the life of woman in Newton in January. Harpreet Kaur Mann was walking home from her job at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Thursday, Jan. 27 at
about 11 p.m., when she was struck and killed. A 2006 Toyota Corolla was travelling east on 80 Avenue at 122A Street when it struck Mann and a telephone pole. The 47-year-old female driver of the car was treated for minor injuries.
Firefighters performed CPR on Mann at the scene, but she died later in hospital. Anyone with more information about this incident who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Const. Wiese at Surrey RCMP Traffic Services at 604-599-0502.
Train: 1, Car: 0 Driver attempts to race a train
Black Press IT’S SELDOM a game of great odds
when a vehicle decides to race a train. Such was the case last Tuesday night, when a car tried to out-run a train on ScottRoad at Old Yale Road. At about 10:20 p.m., Southern Railway B.C. called police to report one of their trains had struck a car
and that there were no injuries. Reports indicate the driver of the car was trying to “out run” the train as it was backing up. The rear end of the train hit the driver’s side door, causing the vehicle to be written off. Police do not believe alcohol or drugs to be a factor in the accident. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Kwantlen students win legal fight with CFS LEARN
it
Blocking appointment illegal, court rules by Dan Ferguson
AT NIGHT.
SCHOOL OF COMPUTING PART-TIME STUDIES Start with just one course. bcit.ca/computing It’s your career. Get it right.
THE CANADIAN Federation of students (CFS) acted illegally when it blocked a Kwantlen Polytechnic University student from becoming a member of the CFS provincial executive committee, the B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled. The decision ends a legal battle that began in 2008 when the national student group refused to let Kwantlen student Derek Robertson join the CFS B.C. components executive committee as a representative of the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA). Robertson was among a group of students who wanted Kwantlen to pull out of the 500,000-member CFS, arguing the national lobby group was not delivering enough to justify the dues it collected from the 18,000-member KSA. Before the matter came to a vote, Robertson was appointed as the Kwantlen rep to the B.C. component, but he was withdrawn during the lead-up to the ballot. After a slim majority of students, 56 per cent, voted in 2008
to stay in the CFS, the KSA council re-appointed Robertson as representative to the organization he’d fought against. The leaders of that organization were not pleased, and refused to ratify his appointment on three separate occasions.
“It was not entitled to further determine whether it considered him to be worthy...” B.C. Court of Appeal Since the Kwantlen students refused to appoint anyone else the result was a 22-month standoff where there was no Kwantlen rep on the Canadian federation’s B.C. component. In court, the Kwantlen students argued the federation is only entitled to decide whether a representative was properly elected and could not refuse an appointment for any other reason.
ILLEGAL DUMPING / ABANDONED WASTE
Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Surrey. Aban ndoned garbage is not only an eyesore but it im mpacts our City in many negative wa ays. Ille egally dumped material makes neighbourho oods look filtthy and unsanitary and also has serio ous efffects on the environment, wildlife habitat and th he ability of others to use and enjoy outdo oor recreational areas. Let’s respect each other and dispose of waste properly. To find disposal locations, or report illegal dumping incidents, please visit www.surrey.ca or call Surrey’s Engineering Service Request Line at 604-591-4152.
www.surrey.ca
The federation argued it does have the right to pick and choose reps from those nominated by the 80 university student groups that belong to the CFS, and ordering them to accept Robertson would be interfering in their internal affairs. Through several court hearings, the CFS has been unable to convince any judges. The latest to weigh in were three members of a B.C. Court of Appeal tribunal who upheld a lower court ruling that the Canadian federation was compelled to appoint whoever the Kwantlen students selected, so long as the process was proper. “The executive committee was entitled to satisfy itself that Mr. Robertson had been duly elected and designated, that he was a member in good standing of both the KSA and CFS-BC and that he had agreed to, by oath or affirmation, to assume the duties of a director. It was not entitled to further determine whether it considered him to be worthy member of the Executive Committee,” the judges said in a written decision published online March 18.

Niddery scored once in a 3-1 Powell River win Friday, which allowed the Kings to clinch the Coastal Conference final series 4-2. Vanderlugt. In the third, Hayden Trupp and Richard Vanderhoek scored four minutes apart to extend the lead. “We played extremely well in game five,” Erhart said. St. Laurent was instrumental in extending the series another day – stopping 44 of 45 Kings’ shots. He was named the game’s first star.
The series’ two netminders – St. Laurent and Garteig – were nothing short of spectacular in the six-game series. The two rank one-two in playoff goaltending statistics – Garteig currently sports a goals-against average of 1.97 and a save-percentage of .923. St. Laurent, meanwhile, has similar numbers – 2.20 goals-against and
a sparkling .934 save percentage – while facing more shots than another other playoff goaltender. The Kings now advance to the Fred Page Cup finals, where they’ll square off against the Vernon Vipers in a rematch of the last two BCHL championship series. The best-of-seven series begins April 1.

A double for United Surrey team adds Imperial Cup to league championship by Rick Kupchuk IT WASN’T JUST the
warm, sunny weather, or the estimated 600 fans at Cloverdale Athletic Park that made it a perfect day for the Surrey United soccer club. The Surrey United Firefighters men’s team completed their second Vancouver Metro Soccer League double in as many years, adding an Imperial Cup victory to the Premier Division league championship clinched two weeks earlier. The Firefighters topped ICST Pegasus 3-1 in the cup final Sunday afternoon. At the same time at South Surrey Athletic Park, United pulled off another double. Randee Hermus, Katie Thorlaksson and Karm Jawanda tallied in a 3-0 win by Surrey over the North Shore Renegades in a Metro Women’s Soccer League (MWSL) cup final. In the MWSL Division One cup final, the Surrey United Selects defeated the Aldergrove Adrenaline in a shootout. “It was a good day for Surrey United,� said Martin Foden, the club’s executive director and manager of the men’s team. “We won three cup finals in one day, and winning the (VMSL) soccer double twice in a row hasn’t been done too often.�
BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER
Surrey United FireďŹ ghter’s Andrew Proctor (left) and Diaz Kambere of ICST Pegasus battle for the ball at Sunday’s Imperial Cup ďŹ nal at Cloverdale Athletic Park. United won 3-1. Angus Burke, Niall Thompson and Rizal Ganieff tallied for the men’s team in their win over Pegasus, who got their only goal from Niko Marcina on a penalty to tie the game 1-1 at the
30-minute mark. “It was a game between two evenly matched teams,� said Foden. “We had the better scoring chances, but it was even in terms of possession. And it wasn’t really a
3-1 game. They were pressing hard to tie it when we got our third goal.� Both teams will advance to B.C. Soccer’s Province Cup tournament which will start next month.

Memories flowed like fine wine at Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino last Sunday when a surprise visit from old friends of harness racing added a vintage touch to the festivities. Joe and Karen Hudon popped into the winner’s circle to help celebrate Oil Town Emelia’s victory in the $15,000 Marion Young Stakes for three-year-old fillies. Marian Young herself – a long-time owner and track historian at The Downs – was thrilled to see the Hudons. Marian and husband/trainer Bill, have an association with harness racing that spans countless decades. Joe Hudon was one of the on-track pioneers of Cloverdale Raceway in 1976 and could always be found at the top of the heap in the drivers and trainers standings. He’s been very successful since moving to the Ontario circuit years ago and still gets in the sulky on occasion, even though he has sons Pat and Phil working with him. Oil Town Emelia’s win for driver Jim Burke came with some drama in the sense the finish was a three-horse picture. Oil Town Emelia nosed out Savemethelastdance (Serge Masse) while a late closing Baja Beach (Keith Clark) was a neck back in third. Final time was 1:58.2. On Saturday it was the three-year-old colts and geldings holding the spotlight with the $22,500 Final of the Wendell Smith Memorial. Although he started from a good post, Thesyesrcrying had to be expertly driven by Masse to get the job done. Masse was busy for the last three-eighths of the race, overtaking early leader Red Star Tyson (Richard Craig). Final time was 1:55.2. “I was concerned about the front horse and had to stay after mine because he tends to get a bit lazy,” Masse said later.“He kicked into overdrive in the stretch.” The victory made Theseyesrcrying a double stakes winner after having captured the Keith Linton Memorial in late February. The son of Mach Three is 5-for-10 this year, earning nearly $40,000 for Masse and co-owner Jim Vinnell. It was a moving sight to witness when the winner’s circle was filled with family and friends of the late Wendell Smith, a long-time owner, trainer and driver at Fraser Downs. There are only seven live days of racing remaining in the 2011 spring meet at The Downs. The action resumes Friday at 7:00 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday start times being the regular 1:15 p.m. See you there! djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

an eight-hour time span lifted the Surrey Storm to a B.C. Hockey Midget Tier 4 championship. The Storm, the host team for the seven-team tournament played last week at the North Surrey Recreation Centre, defeated the Nakusp Falcons 5-2 Thursday afternoon to place first after round robin play. Surrey scored three times in 93 seconds early in the game for the win. Less than four hours later, the Storm was back on the ice again against the Saanich Braves in the championship game. After a scoreless first period, Surrey tallied a pair of unanswered goals in the second, with Peter Levarsky netting the first on an assist from Jake Martic. Manpreet Malhi set up Brendan Rosekrans for the second. Steven Curry assisted on a score from Nizam Hanif early in the third period, then after the

une will be a big month for Brittany Sand. Her son’s third birthday is on the 13th. Her own birthday, her 19th, will be June 22. And on June 17, she’ll wear pink – with black shoulder straps. “I didn’t think I was going to get a dress,” said the North Surrey Learning Centre student as she checked herself out in the mirror on Saturday at the Kennedy Seniors Centre. “Look at the poof,” she beamed. The single mom was among 99 girls who were treated to a day of selecting grad dresses, shoes and accessories courtesy of The Princess Project. Then came the hairstylists and makeup artists, followed by official portraits. All for free.
“It’s sooo pretty,” Serenity Endo called out to a friend. “You look like a princess.” The 18-year-old, also from North Surrey Learning Centre, has been living by herself for the last four years. At the gala, she was tended to by one of 125 white-clad “fairy gradmother” volunteers, and was taken through rooms full of dresses, jewelry, shawls, shoes and purses. “Everything they pick up is theirs to keep,” said Karen Pruim, who is running her second year of The Princess Project. Its based on the similar Cinderella Project, which has provided Graduation Day support for deserving girls for the last 12 years. Pruim said she’s been given lots of support from that Vancouver group, who were forced to turn away some girls due to a heavy demand for the service. Last year, she provided the dresses by
appointment out of her Surrey basement – “I have a great husband,” she notes. The dresses, which can easily cost $500 to $1,000 retail, have been donated by individuals and businesses. Most have been used only once. “They’re expensive things,” said Emily Thompson, 19, a graduate of South Surrey/White Rock Learning Centre. The girls, who came from as far away as Mission and Ladner, had to be referred to The Princess Project by counsellors, teachers or social workers who were aware of each girl’s financial or family situation. “Some of the girls live on their own, some of them are young mothers, others live in families where they have to take care of their siblings,” explained Pruim.

Last year, for instance, she provided grad dresses to three of her daughter’s friends, and nobody suspected they were second-hand. “There are so many kids who have every-

INFORMATION
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Woods, at the Dr. Alan Hogg Pavilion in White Rock. She was predeceased by her husband Frank in 2006. Mary and Frank were long time residents of the Surrey area, and were involved in the Poultry industry for many years. They both were generous supporters of the Surrey Public Library, and the Nature Trust. Mary will be greatly missed by her brother Don Hammond and many nieces and nephews. No service per her request, however, a family memorial will be held at a later date.
