WHEN Jason Kingra was sworn in as a constable with t h e A b b o t s f o r d Po l i c e Department last month, the Kingra family earned the unique honour of being the first ever family to have three members serve on the force at the same time. Jason’s dad, Staff-Sergeant Amar Kingra, on the other hand, is the most senior serving police officer with the APD. At the annual Regimental Dinner, where the Police Chief traditionally serves dinner to the most senior serving officer and the most junior serving officer, it was a father and son that received that honour as they sat across from each other. For Amar, it was all the more special because he will be retiring next year after 33 years of wearing the uniform with pride. He told The VOICE: “I’ve

really enjoyed my entire policing career. It’s a very rewarding career and I am looking forward to my retirement next year. Nothing can be more rewarding than serving the community that you live in and trying to make a difference.” He added: “This job is not for everyone; that’s why only less than one per cent of the people who apply are hired as police officers. It’s a very strict screening process for recruits. If you do your job with respect, fairness and objectivity, then this is the right job for you. You have to maintain a positive attitude.” Very aptly, Amar received a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. I n t e r e s t i n g l y, A m a r ’ s nephew, Charn Kingra, who joined the APD as a Constable in 1996, teaches criminology at

RATTAN'S RUMBLE SHAME on Surrey First mayoral candidate Linda Hepner and her councillors! She is so DESPERATE that she is now misusing her powers to promise to get matters authorized in order to garner support from at least one gurd-

wara. Surrey’s Gurdwara Sahib Brookside President Sardul S. Rihal confirmed to me on Tuesday that Hepner had held a meeting with the gurdwara executive and assured them that she would get a parking lot between the gurdwara and a Hindu temple on 140th Street authorized in exchange for their support. Rihal said: “That’s what she said … she would do

Linda Hepner Photo by Chandra Bodalia it before the election. They are going to have a Council meeting and

then she will tell us.” Many South Asians are angry that Hepner would resort to such tactics. Meanwhile, mayoral candidate Doug McCallum has reportedly promised Dashmesh Darbar Gurdwara that the City would pay for the annual Vaisakhi Parade if he is elected mayor. But that, many South Asians argue, is what Mayor Dianne Watts should have done in any

case. Surrey’s Vaisakhi Parade is the largest such in North America and attracts people from all over the world. But Watts proved to be utterly useless in this respect. In fact, in my opinion, it was just racism. Ironically, it seems that only mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode, who is the only South Asian candidate, has NOT given any such assurances to anyone! Go figure!

Canada’s New High Commissioner in India is Nadir Patel FOREIGN Affairs Minister John Baird and International Trade Minister Ed Fast on Friday announced the appointment of Nadir Patel as Canada’s new high commissioner in the Republic of India. “We are pleased to announce the appointment of Nadir Patel as Canada’s new high commissioner in the Republic of India,” said the ministers. “Mr. Patel brings a wealth of experience and will strengthen even further the Canada-India relationship, including on bilateral trade and international security.” Sustained high-level engagement is a key priority for Canada in the country’s partnership with India. In this spirit, both ministers Baird and Fast will be travelling with a Canadian delegation to India on October 13 and 14 for bilateral meetings in New Delhi.

Government of Canada’s ambitious pro-trade plan to help Canadian businesses explore new export opportunities, the government announced. Patel will join the ministers on this historic visit.

Fast will continue by leading a trade mission from October 12 to 17 covering three cities: Mumbai, Delhi and Chandigarh, and will support the

NADIR PATEL (BA, Wilfrid Laurier University, 1993; MBA, New York University, London School of Economics and Political Science and HEC Paris, 2009) began his career in 1990 at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, serving in progressively more senior positions in the agency’s offices in KitchenerWaterloo, Ottawa and Montréal.

Hepner and Surrey First violate election guidelines. Surrey First's LIES nailed by CKNW! How shameless can they be!? The City of Surrey’s political signs guideline states: “Installation: Signs may be erected after the close of the nomination period (October 10, 2014).” That is, Friday. One of our readers emailed this photo of a Surrey First team erecting this sign at King George Highway and 64th Avenue. The VOICE phoned Hepner’s media contact and left a message. We have yet to receive a response. When one of our readers approached the volunteers and told them that they were violating the guidelines, they arrogantly told him: "We are doing this for Surrey First THEY are the law!"

RATTAN'S RUMBLE WHOA, you would expect a seasoned councillor and mayoral hopeful to KNOW and FOLLOW the rules, no? But Linda Hepner and her Surrey First seemed to have jumped the gun as they started erecting their election signs on Thursday – a day BEFORE what is permitted.

AFTER The VOICE broke the story, CKNW's Drez Live really ripped into Surrey First as they had Surrey First's campaign manager insist they had WRITTEN PERMISSION from the City's Chief Electoral Officer - while she told CKNW she DID NOT given any written permission: http://www.cknw.com/2014/10/09/s omeone-in-surrey-is-lying-to-you/ How shameless can Surrey First get? Can you trust mayoral candidate Linda Hepner or any Surrey First candidate? And as CKNW noted, why have guidelines if you are NOT going to follow them?

Majority of Kingra family members are into law enforcement CONTINUED FROM 1 Matsqui Police, which became Abbotsford Police when Matsqui and Abbotsford amalgamated in 1995 to become the City of Abbotsford. Amar was pleasantly surprised when his son Jason, who was studying business at UFV, told him that he wanted to become a police officer as well. Amar recalled his son telling him: “Dad, it’s in our blood. I remember when I was four years old, grandpa used to teach me how to march and salute.” Amar added: “So he has those fond memories of his grandfather. And I said, ‘You know it’s up to you, Jason, whatever you want to do. At the end of the day, you’ve got to enjoy the job if you are going to do it for 30 some years.’”

Phone

Amar noted with pride that the majority of the members of the Kingra family are into law enforcement. He pointed out: “Both of my daughters work for the government; one is working with the Parole Board of Canada and the other one is working as a Manager with the Correctional Service of Canada. Many of our relatives are also working in the law enforcement field and are carrying on the family tradition.” Amar’s family originally came from the village of Chakar, district of Ludhiana in Punjab. He and his wife have been visiting Chakar every couple of years and they hope to go there every year after he retires. Staff-Sgt.

Baringh in West Abbotsford, and reports of tension between two South Asian groups that has been going on since May, I asked Amar what message he had for the South Asian youth in this city. He replied: “My message has always been, ‘stay away from anyone who is into any type of criminal activity. Listen to your elders, get an education, and get a decent job.’” He added: “Too many of our youth are dying, and this is all avoidable. It’s due to the poor lifestyle choices that they are making at such a young age.” “The unfortunate thing is that it negatively reflects on all of the South Asian youth. There are so many good stories... good wrestlers, hockey players, lawyers, doctors, police officers, and other professionals who this community should be very proud of.”

IN BRIEF: Justin Trudeau / Baljinder Kandola / Mohammed Shakil Khan / Manjit Adiwal

FEDERAL Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is STILL Number One. The latest Nanos Party Power Index shows that he has maintained a seven-point advantage in the week over week tracking on the preferred Prime Minister front over the Conservative’s Stephen Harper and registered a new 12-month high. For the first ranked choice for PM,

Trudeau came in at 35.8 percent, Harper at 28.3 percent, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair at 17.8 percent, Green Party’s Elizabeth May at 3.6 percent, Parti Quebecois’ Mario Beaulieu at 0.7 percent and the rest were unsure.

FORMER border guard Baljinder Singh Kandola received a 15-year prison sentence in 2012 for his role in smuggling cocaine worth $5 million through the CanadaU.S. border. Now his lawyer Sarah Conroy wants the B.C. Court of Appeal to reduce the sentence to 13 years because she argued Kandola was wilfully blind about the details of the smuggled drugs. But one judge noted that Kandola knew what was happening and that just because he didn’t confirm the quantity being smuggled, it did not lessen his moral culpability. The Crown noted that, among other things, Kandola committed a crime that he had sworn to prevent from taking place, according to a local newspaper.

CONTINUED FROM 6 IN 2007, Mohammed Shakil Khan won $4 million in Lotto 6/49 and transferred $3.5 million to a company where investment adviser Catherine Jones handled his funds. Now Khan is suing Jones because he claims that he lost $1.6 million as a direct result of her reckless and / or unsound strategies. He wants $2.3 million returned to him. Three companies where Jones worked have also been named as defendants. These are only allegations and none of his claims have been proved in court. Khan was acquitted of all criminal charges in 2010 after his arrest the previous year when he was caught by Transit Police having sex with a woman against the hood of a car. Police claimed that he had a loaded revolver with him and he was charged with five offences related to firearms, according to a local newspaper. MANJIT Singh Adiwal pleaded guilty to assaulting Gurpreet Sangha, and Preetpal Sangha pleaded guilty to uttering a threat to cause death or bodily harm to Gurpreet Sangha. The charges arose from an incident that occurred on May 9, 2011. Adiwal and Preetpal appealed their respective sentences imposed on May 7, 2014, of four months imprisonment followed by 18 months’ probation to the B.C. Court of Appeal. The May 9 incident was subsequent to a dispute between Preetpal Sangha and Gurpreet Sangha who, with Preetpal Sangha's father and others, owned a lumber mill where Preetpal Sangha worked. The origins of the dispute are unclear. The Crown suggested it had to do with an argument between the partners; the mill appears to have been failing financially. The Crown says that Preetpal Sangha joined in on his father's behalf in confronting the complainant, according to court documents. This week, the B.C. Court of Appeal released its ruling, turning down the two men’s appeals. Full ruling at: http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdbtxt/CA/14/03/2014BCCA0379.htm

India's Kailash Satyarthi shares Nobel Peace Prize with Pakistan's Malala Yousufzai Oslo (IANS): Indian child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi Friday shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Pakistani teenager Malala Yousufzai who stood up to the Taliban and survived a near-fatal shooting. The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize for 2014 to Satyarthi and Malala Yousufzai "for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education," a statement said. Showing great personal courage, 60year-old Kailash Satyarthi, "maintaining Gandhi's tradition, has headed various forms of protests and demonstrations, all peaceful, focusing on the grave exploitation of children for financial gain. He has also contributed to the development of important international conventions on children's rights". Satyarthi runs the Bachpan Bachao Andolan NGO that works for child rights, specially bonded labour.

Kailash Satyarthi Photo: IANS Despite her youth, the committee said, Malala has "already fought for several years for the right of girls to education, and has shown by example that children

and young people, too, can contribute to improving their own situations". "This she has done under the most dangerous circumstances. Through her heroic struggle she has become a leading spokesperson for girls' rights to education," it added. Malala was shot by a Taliban gunman as she took a bus home from school in Pakistan's northwest region in October 2012. She was flown to Britain for specialised treatment shortly after the attack. The Nobel Committee regards it "as an important point for a Hindu and a Muslim, an Indian and a Pakistani, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism". It highlighted that there are 168 million child labourers around the world today. In 2000 the figure was 78 million higher. The world has come closer to the goal of eliminating child labour.

Deljit Sandhu of Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation honoured by Premier as “Emerging Leader” I’m proud of all the recipients today.” The BC Public Service Hall of Excellence is the highest honour that the BC Public Service can extend to its employees, recognizing long-lasting achievement, dedication and service to the province. The inaugural induction of the Hall of Excellence took place at the provincial Premier’s Awards ceremony in Victoria on Oct. 8, 2014, where Clark recognized both the 2014 recipients and past recipients of the Legacy award. The nominations go through a two-part judging process. Initially, all Premier’s Award nominations are considered at a provincial level and reviewed by external adjudicators who evaluate the nominations on a category-by-category basis. Adjudicators select the regional finalists, including regional Premier’s Award recipients. The adjudicators also produce a short list for the judges to review for provincial PREMIER Christy Clark celebrated the exceptional accomplishments of British Columbia’s public service employees and unveiled a new form of recognition, the B.C. Public Service Hall of Excellence, at the Premier’s Annual Innovation and Excellence Awards ceremony on Thursday in Victoria. “This event marks the 10th year we have been recognizing and celebrating public service achievements that have made real differences in people’s lives,” said Clark. “I wanted to find a special way to honour individuals who have made exceptional and lasting contributions to British Columbia. Now the Hall of Excellence is the highest form of recognition public service employees can strive for.” Public service employees were recognized for applying new, innovative ways of providing essential services in six categories: Leadership, Organizational Excellence, Partnership, Innovation, Emerging Leader and Legacy. DELJIT SANDHU from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation was recognized in the “Emerging Leader” category. She led a virtual team supporting clients on income assistance, developing a framework that resulted in more accurate and consistent outcomes and a better working relationship with community and government partners. Her citation read: “Deljit Sandhu is a supervisor of the Vancouver Coastal Central Team in the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, leading a virtual team that supports direct services to clients on income assistance. When Del came into her role, she took a handson approach to working with managers, supervisors and staff in the region to develop a framework for her team, which consists of several units working at seven different work sites in the region. Del has empowered her team members to take a leadership role within their units and develop best practices. She has provided leadership by developing clear and effective processes that ensure the best use of resources and support improved client service. For example, Del worked with her staff to design new processes that ensured the teams met or exceeded provincial service standards and timelines, resulting in more accurate and consistent outcomes and a better working relationship with community and government partners.” “TONIGHT’S recipients have tackled some of the most important issues in B.C. today with enthusiasm, dedication and a keen eye as to how to improve services and programs for British Columbians,” Finance Minister Michael de Jong said. “The result is more efficient project timelines and innovative approaches that work.

Trial date for Jujhar Khun-Khun and two others in Jonathan Bacon’s murder in Kelowna set for April 2016

THE trial of Jujhar Khun-Khun of Surrey, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones of Gibsons, and Jason Thomas McBride of North Vancouver in the gangland slaying of Red Scorpion gang leader Jonathan Bacon will start April 4, 2016. The jury trial is expected to last six months. Last June The VOICE reported that B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen had ruled that the trial would be held in Kelowna. There was a publication ban on whatever was spoken at the hearing at which lawyers for the three accused applied to move the trial out of that city.

Jujhar Khun-Khun

Amandeep S. Sanghera B.A., LL.B. Jagdeep S. Khun-Khun B.Sc. (Hons.), M.Sc., J.D. Puneet P.K. Sandhar B.A. (Hons.), LL.B. Barinder S. Sanghera B.Comm., LL.B.

Bacon was killed on August 14, 2011. Bacon, Larry Amero, a full-patch Hells Angels member from White Rock, and James Riach of the Independent Soldiers along with two women, one of whom is related to several Hells Angels members in Haney, were attacked in Kelowna. While Bacon was killed, Amero and the two women sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Riach, who was also injured, fled the scene.

Jonathan Bacon

Khun-Khun, Jones and McBride were arrested on February 22, 2013, and charged with the first degree murder of Bacon as well as four counts each of attempted murder. Manjinder “Manny” Hairan, 29, who was shot dead on January 15, 2013, in Surrey, is believed to have also been involved in the Kelowna shooting.

Mayor offers condolences to family of Abbotsford murder victim Harwindip Baringh ABBOTSFORD Mayor Bruce Banman offered his condolences on Wednesday to the family of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting victim Harwindip Singh Baringh, 18. "To have a young life ended so senselessly is extremely tragic," said Mayor Banman. "As a father and grandfather my heart goes out to the Baringh family on their heartbreaking loss." Banman, who chairs the Abbotsford Police Board as part of his duties as mayor, says he is committed to seeing justice done in this case. He said: "These kinds of appalling events must be stopped. We known that every

community has bad elements, and the whole community is in shock due to the acts of these few individuals, but as your mayor I can assure you that we are committed to bringing the offenders to justice." POLICE announced last week on Friday that 18-year-old Harwindip Singh Baringh was the South Asian teenager who was found shot dead in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat of a dark coloured SUV in the 30500 block of Sparrow Drive in West Abbotsford after police responded at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday last week to reports of shots fired in the area of Sparrow Drive and Goldfinch

Street. No other potential victims or suspects were found. A vehicle or two were reported to have sped away. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said it is believed to be a targeted hit, though the motive has not been confirmed. A Google search showed that, according to bcwrestling.com, Baringh was a wrestler from W.J. Mouat Secondary in January 2013 and came 6th in the 100 kg category at the Western Canada Age Class event. Abbotsford Police said on Friday: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Witnesses indicated that two vehicles left the area

He added: “Our Canadian Government takes great pride in

PICS Society raises $150,000 for new multicultural senior home in Surrey

PROGRESSIVE Intercultural Community Services (PICS) Society raised $150,000 at their radiothon fundraiser which was held on October 2 on Radio India 1600AM, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. All proceeds will go towards building a new Multicultural Long-Term Care Home. A new Multicultural Long-

Term Care Home in Surrey is much needed and the community is in full support. The existing PICS Society care home has been well-received and there has been a long waiting list for quite some time. This is an indication that building another PICS Society care home will fulfill community needs.

“I’m pleased with the generous support of the community towards this essential project,” says Charan Gill, CEO of PICS Society. “We received endless phone calls with donations to build the home and we cannot be more appreciative. Since this radiothon was successful, we’ll be hosting another one in November on Spice

Radio. If we keep up with this energy, I have no doubt we’ll reach our funding goal by next year.” PICS Society is currently seeking three to four acres of land that’s properly zoned and prepared to build the Multicultural Long-Term Care Home. This program will be a 125-bed long-term facility that’s cultur-

Charan Gill ally sensitive and staffed with bilingual caretakers who can provide adequate care for the

seniors. Culturally chosen foods will be honoured as well as traditions and religious customs. Services will be offered to ensure the clients’ safety and quality of life. Some of the services include 24 hour emergency response, social, leisure and recreational activities, housekeeping, and assistance with daily living tasks.

India trade mission builds stronger ties, creates opportunities for B.C., says government PREMIER Christy Clark departed Thursday on the India trade mission with Minister of Advanced Education Amrik Virk. They are leading a delegation of over 70 companies and post-secondary institutions to reinforce B.C.’s economic and cultural ties with India, promote further investment in B.C. and expand exports as part of the BC Jobs Plan. “One of the keys to doing business internationally is building relationships,” said Clark. “Trade missions allow us to make connections that open doors to long-term trade and investment and create opportunities for research and student exchanges. As we continue to make inroads into the Asia Pacific market, we are seeing these partnerships create more

economic opportunities - and more jobs at home.” Throughout the trade mission from October 9-18, which will make stops in New Delhi, Chandigarh, Bangalore

and Mumbai, Clark and Virk will promote the strength of key B.C. sectors, including liquefied natural gas and other natural resources, clean technology, life sciences, film, digital arts and finance. The trade mission will also showcase B.C. as India’s fastest and most efficient gateway to North American markets. Virk will also travel to Bangalore to raise awareness of the great potential for secondary and post-secondary education partnerships, joint research initiatives, and student exchange between B.C. and India. “India’s young demographics and growing middle class make it one of the world’s fastest-growing economies,” said Virk. “In the postsecondary sector, we’re already see-

ing the benefits of the work we’ve done to build relationships with India. Compared to other international countries, India has the secondhighest number of agreements with B.C.’s public post-secondary institutions and we look forward to building on that on this trade mission.” Trade missions are a critical part of British Columbia’s strategy to diversify its international trading partners and secure new investment, propelling economic activity and job creation throughout the province. The last three major Premier-led missions to Asian markets resulted in business deals and partnership agreements valued at over $1.8 billion. India is identified as a key export market in the BC Jobs Plan, and is

HE’S only 16 years old, but he’s already known to police, and was reportedly caught with several thousand dollars in a bag, some marijuana, drug paraphernalia and five cellphones after being involved in a hit-and-run on Monday around 88th Avenue at 140th Street. The teen tried to flee on foot while an 85-year-old man lay trapped in his vehicle. But some young men in the vicinity who heard the crash went to the accident scene to inquire and saw the teen take off. But when they heard someone shouting that it was a hit-and-run, they along with two other neighbours gave chase and nabbed the teen. When they brought him back to the accident scene, the teen reportedly took out a bag of cash and handed it to a woman in the crowd of onlookers and asked her for her phone number so he could retrieve it later. He then tossed another bag with marijuana over a fence. When police arrived at the scene, the woman handed the bag to them. The senior victim was extracted from his vehicle and transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The teen was arrested and treated for minor injuries at hospital. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet told The VOICE on Thursday that the investigation was ongoing and no charges had been laid yet. He said the teen was known to police.

Surrey is only a C-class city, Vital Signs Livability Report shows; Surrey First reaction SURREYCARES, in partnership with the Surrey Board of Trade, released the results of Surrey’s first Vital Signs study on Tuesday. The report investigated updated statistical data as well as public opinion on issues ranging from crime to the economy. “This reports gives the laser-like focus needed to create a more vibrant, livable city,” states Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade. “We were surprised by some of the things we learned,” states Jeff Hector, president of SurreyCares. “The study reveals that residents have an honest, community-driven pride and a deep interest in where we are going.” The report includes the results of a public opinion survey where residents assigned ‘grades’ on eleven areas that measure quality of life. Overall, the community scored C, or ‘Average’, on its first report card. The areas rating the greatest interest of residents are:

* Safety: D+ * Arts and Culture: C * Environment: C * Economy & Work: C * Getting Around: D+ For each of the areas, the report includes current, Surrey-specific facts as well as elements to celebrate and improve. “We urge local groups, charities, and governments to commit their community-improvement activities to the area’s that residents have highlighted in this report,” adds Hector. SurreyCares and the Surrey Board of Trade are vowing to refer to the report when directing their future activities. The full report is at www.surreycares.org SURREY FIRST REACTION: The Vital Signs 2014 report issued today by Surrey Cares and the Surrey Board of Trade shows the City of Surrey is on the right track in

managing its growth, and also serves to reinforce the very issues Surrey First candidates have pointed to as priorities as the city grows. The report serves as a barometer of where Surrey’s residents stand on important issues affecting its residents. It points to an 11 per cent drop in crime over the past five years, especially in the areas of violent crime (down 37 per cent), youth crime (down 37 percent) and vehicle theft (down 20 per cent). It also points out after-tax household incomes are increasing, and that 84 per cent of respondents are satisfied with the direction of the city. The report also points out that improvements in transit, public safety and economic development are important to Surrey residents. “The report shows we have a lot to celebrate in Surrey, but we’ve still got work to do,” noted Linda Hepner, Surrey First’s mayoral candi-

date. “We’re definitely making progress, but a growing city is also going to have to address important issues such as transit and public safety. While the statistics show crime is down in Surrey, the report notes that public safety remains top of mind among our residents. “It’s also worth noting that some of these issues are beyond the city’s purview, but we still believe it’s important to advocate for improved services in areas such as education and transportation. So, the report is valuable in highlighting the progress we’re making, and reinforcing issues Surrey First has already identified as priorities going forward.” IN another statement, issued on Wednesday, Surrey First defending its performance, stated: AS one of the fastest growing communities in the country, Surrey is attracting 1,000 new residents every month, with one-third of its population under 24. So, why does Surrey have less youth crime than British Columbia or Canada? “Take a look at our city and you’ll see that we’re paying attention to our kids and their needs,” explained mayoral candidate Linda Hepner, who now heads Surrey First, the organization she and outgoing mayor Dianne Watts created to bring non-partisan leadership to city council. “Whether it’s programs for youth, expanded sports, more pools, playing fields, rinks and rec centres than ever before, or mentorships that pair gifted students with kids at risk, we want to keep our young people safe, and make sure they know they have a future here.” This week’s Surrey Vital Signs report, compiled by the Surrey Cares Foundation and the Surrey Board of Trade, says 86 per cent of Surrey youth between 15 and 24 like living in the city, but want more local jobs and affordable housing options. “Surrey used to be a bedroom community, now, our emphasis is on attracting job-creating businesses that provide more opportunities for our youth,” added Hepner, a three-term city councillor and former economic development manager for the city. “Since 2005, we’ve added 15,000 new businesses to the city, and this year alone we’ll add 2,000 more. We’ve also added our Innovation Boulevard which is targeting attracting health and technology jobs to our city.” The Vital Signs report singles out the city’s Community Safety Youth Leadership and Mentorship Program as an “inspiring example” of the community’s “proactive efforts” to reach out to young people. “The City helps fund the Surrey Crime Prevention Society which works with our school district and the Ministry of Children and Families,” said Hepner. “Together they pair up gifted students looking to strengthen their leadership skills with specially-trained mentors and youth at risk. It’s working and it’s one example of the kind of innovative approach we’re taking to make sure our kids have every opportunity to succeed here. “This is their home and the report says that two-thirds of them expect to be here in five years, which is good news for our city and economy. We want them to be able to afford a home, find a good job and raise their own families here. It starts with a proactive approach aimed at helping them make good choices as young people. The benefits are tremendous and it’s reflected in our low youth crime stats.”

Modi makes PIO cards valid for entire lifetime of cardholders MOVING swiftly to fulfill assurances made to thousands of cheering diaspora in his Madison Square Garden address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday said the government is working on a new scheme merging the People of Indian Origin (PIO) and Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) schemes. Announcing this in a tweet, the prime minister said that the union home ministry is "working on the new scheme that will merge PIO & OCI

schemes". He also tweeted that instructions have been issued to Indian embassies and consulates that "apart from special circumstances, US nationals should get visas for 10 years" fulfilling another promise to the diaspora. Modi made the announcement on consular and visa issues during his address at the Madison Square Garden in New York Sep 28,which was heard by a crowd of 20,000. The prime minister said that a

September 30 gazette notification said that all PIO cards are valid for the entire lifetime of cardholders. Earlier it was for 15 years. "The gazette notification fulfils the announcement that all PIO cardholders will now enjoy a lifelong visa to India," he said. He said that the gazette notification also says that PIO card holders would not have to report to police stations, even if their visit exceeds 180 days. (IANS)

Three penalty points for drivers caught talking on handheld device THE Province is taking a first step in what will be a two-part approach to protect British Columbians from distracted drivers on roads and highways. First, effective October 20, amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) regulations will increase the driver penalty points from zero to three for drivers who are caught talking on a handheld device while driving. This new penalty,

which also covers infractions like watching a DVD, programming a phone’s GPS, and operating hand-held audio players, is being combined with the $167 fine already in place and is now consistent with the three points and $167 fine currently given to drivers for texting. Penalty points remain on a person’s driving record for five years and can result in further penalties, including prohibi-

tions from driving. Specifically, any driver with more than three points has to pay a penalty premium on their insurance, starting at $175, and escalating if they receive more penalty points. The penalty for anyone who receives more than one distracted driving ticket in a year is at least $634 – the equivalent of two fines and a $300 penalty premium for six points.

Mahilpuris to celebrate 25th annual reunion BY DALJIT SINGH BAINS (Richmond) LOCATED in the district of Hoshiarpur, the village of Mahilpur is famous from the Doaba region of Punjab. Historically, Mahilpur was known throughout India for its production of mangos. It then claimed fame for being the first village in Punjab to build a postsecondary institution, and later became legendary for producing prominent footballers (soccer players). The term “nursery of football” always follows when the name Mahilpur appears. Mahilpur today continues to thrive in its historic roots and has become a city centre for its many neighbouring villages. Today, nearly 300 families with ancestral roots in Mahilpur are currently settled in the beautiful province of British Columbia, with around 200 families comfortably residing in the Lower Mainland region itself. Since 1989, these families have been celebrating an annual Mahilpur reunion, which is hosted by all Mahilpur brothers. Invitations are also extended to all sisters, who are married, and their families participate annually. This year, on Saturday, October 18, the Mahilpur Brotherhood will be celebrating their Silver Jubilee, 25th Mahilpur Reunion, at Grand Taj Banquet Hall in Surrey. Mahilpuri migration to Canada and the USA can be traced back to the early 1900s, and many of those who came worked hard to contribute to the development of their

adopted country and their families continue to do so today. In 1906, Bookhan Singh Bains arrived in Canada and later enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and fought for Canada in World War I. His family currently resides in Abbotsford. Baba Harjap Singh Bains came to Canada in 1909 and played a prominent role as a freedom fighter seeking independence for India, and was instated as a member of the Gadar Party by Founding President, Sohan Singh Bhakna, at its earliest stages. Baba Harjap Singh later travelled back to India in 1937 and was elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly from the Mahilpur area. His victory prompted a visit to Mahilpur from Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who would later become the first Prime Minister of India. Another prominent early settler, Baba Prem Singh Bains, purchased property between Duncan and Paldi on Vancouver Island, where he claimed to establish Mahilpur near Paldi because they are neighbouring villages in Punjab. Baba Prem Singh’s family continues

to live in Victoria and the Vancouver area. His descendants own the Bains Travel Agencies. Mahilpur’s prominence in India can be attributed to the vision of Principal Harbhajan Singh Bains. In 1945, with the support of Mahilpur and neighbouring villages and the advice of Sant Hari Singh Ji, he established the very first post-secondary institution in a Punjab village. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Mahilpur, produced top level graduates that went on to serve in high level positions in all sectors in Punjab and the rest of India. SGGS Khalsa College also produced several top level athletes; this is when the phrase “nursery of football” was coined. It was not rare to see every professional club in India with a player from the Mahilpur area on its roster. Jarnail Singh Dhillon of Panaam and Gurdev Singh Gill of Kharar Acharwal are just two of the legendary Indian footballers to have been produced by the college. Since 1928, residents from Mahilpur and its neighbouring villages have been hosting an annual football tournament where professional clubs

participate. Formerly known as the Mango Tournament, in 1962 it was renamed the Principal Harbhajan Singh Memorial Football Tournament, to recognize and honour the man who brought education to the area. In 2004, the All India Football Federation gave the tournament official status and it is now recognized as an all-India-level football tournament. The next tournament is set for February 1 to 7, 2015. Mahilpur area descendants have been major contributors to the progress and success of this tournament by establishing three trusts which assist in funding and organizing the tournament. The Principal Harbhajan Singh Sports and Education Society; Principal Harbhajan Singh Memorial Trust; and Principal Harbhajan Singh Memorial Football Club have all been formed by Mahilpur area descendants who reside in Canada, USA, and the United Kingdom. These trusts also fund summer leagues for school children and development camps for 11- to 14-yearold youth in the area. In addition to the tournament, Mahilpur area descendants are actively engaged in the continued development of the area, and have successfully lobbied all levels of government to partner in projects relative to Mahilpur. An All India Football Federation-affiliated football academy has been established in Mahilpur, complete with living quarters and a mess hall for youth aged 14 to 19. The planning phase for a

national stadium has been completed, and all three aforementioned trusts have provided partnership guarantees to all levels of government for construction to begin. Furthermore, Mahilpur area descendants also host free medical camps

periodically. All of these projects and initiatives would not come to realization if it were not for descendants from not only Mahilpur, but also the neighbouring villages who have felt the need to give back to a place which gave everybody so much.

LAST Sunday, more than 1,298 participants in Surrey joined together at the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure to help create a future without breast cancer by raising $243,605 and contributing to the regional total of $3.168 million at all nine Run sites across BC. The fundraising efforts and volunteer support of 127,000 participants and volunteers in 65 communities across Canada raised $25 million, to be used toward reducing the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer and helping support the breast cancer community. With the funds raised at this event, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is able to invest in innovative research that includes explorations of the genetic causes of breast cancer that could lead to improved risk assessment of women, as well as tailored prevention and treatment options.

Vancouver Police issue warning following series of attacks on Asian women by white suspect VANCOUVER Police are warning women to be cautious following three attacks in Vancouver’s South Granville, Oak and Cambie neighbourhoods. The first incident occurred on the morning of April 20, when an elderly Asian woman was walking in the area of Oak Street and West 55th Avenue. She was approached from behind and groped. When the man walked away, the woman continued on her way home. The man then appeared a second time and touched her inappropriately once again. When the woman screamed, he casually walked off. The second incident took place on the morning of June 17. An elderly Asian woman was walking her dog near West 30th Avenue and Granville Street when a man approached her from behind and struck her violently between the legs. The third and most recent incident took place on the morning of Friday, October 3. A middle-aged Asian woman was walking in the area on West 64th Avenue between Granville and Oak Street when she was approached from behind and groped. The man walked away, and the woman followed him. She confronted her attacker, who then punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground, before walking away. She was taken to hospital for treatment of minor physical injuries. None of the three women knew their attacker and they have all suffered significant emotional distress in the attacks. The man was white, 35 to 40 years old, 5’10” tall, with a medium build, wearing dark clothing.

Burnaby First Coalition: Free golf is partisan perk THE Burnaby First Coalition (BFC) on Monday referring to the City of Burnaby’s free golf for City Hall insiders, noted “the apparent partisan slant of the affiliations of the people eligible for the perk.” It said: “Identification cards entitle current councillors and approximately 16 commissioners with unlimited guests to free use of recreation facilities. Additionally, about 60 people are named as having complimentary passes with one guest. This list names school trustees, spouses and children of current councillors, as well as former councillors and commission-

ers.” A local newspaper’s investigation shows that golf course usage by a few takes up most of the expenditures, capped at $50,000. Internet searches show that most of the commissioners have active ties to the NDP-BCA and / or to trade unions supportive of the NDP. BCA membership incorporates provincial NDP membership as a prerequisite, said BFC. * Commissioner Lee Loftus - $2,677.89 in golf fees - Vice-President of the BCA, is business manager for the BC Insulators Union, President of the B.C. Construction Trades Council.

* Commissioner Lance Matricardi - Shop Steward at Teamsters local 31 - Coast 2000 Terminals. * Commissioner Brian Nasu - currently Union Representative at the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1518, and former member of Local 1518’s executive board. * Commissioner Wayne Peppard -$7,898.24 in golf fees - Executive Director of the BC Building Trades Council.

* Commissioner Katrina Chen - works for federal NDP MP Peter Julian (Twitter post) BFC mayoral candidate Daren Hancott said, “Mayor [Dereck] Corrigan would find it easier to make the case that this civic perk does reward individuals for ‘meritorious service’ to Burnaby residents if commissioner appointments did not draw so heavily on just one part of the Burnaby community.”

Safe Surrey Coalition releases “Fiscally Responsible Simple Government” platform THE Safe Surrey Coalition unveiled its platform for “Fiscally Responsible Simple Government” Tuesday, explaining its rationale and specific proposals via a grassroots video. Citing the two basic expectations of Surrey residents when it comes to their tax dollars – “that they receive good service and that politicians have respect for public money” – the Safe Surrey Coalition released its 8point platform to get back to more effective service

delivery and greater oversight over tax dollars. The proposals are grounded in a philosophy that the City of Surrey must return to focussing on services that fall within a tight fiscal framework, according to Surrey mayoral candidate Doug McCallum. “Years of out of control spending, waste and involvement in speculative business ventures have moved the city away from meeting the needs of Surrey residents,” said McCallum. “This plan

puts the taxpayer first, both in terms of allowing the city to address pressing issues and priorities, and by having greater respect for taxpayer dollars.”

The eight proposals are: * Freeze taxes for two years * Reverse growing debt through an aggressive repayment plan * Shut down the Surrey

is an immediate step that must be taken to put Surrey back on track, said McCallum. “We have to start investing taxpayers’ money differently,” said McCallum. “City projects must benefit all citizens, which requires a complete overhaul of how City Hall interacts with the citizens of Surrey.” The full list of platform facts and proposals can be viewed at the Safe Surrey website: http://www.safesurrey.ca/ fiscalresponsibility

SURREY First mayoral candidate and threeterm city councillor Linda Hepner said Wednesday that she hopes someone on Doug McCallum’s campaign team gives him a calendar and points out its now 2014, not 1993, the year he was first elected to city council. “One look at the platform he released today and you can see it’s all about taking our city backwards,” noted Hepner. “About 100,000 people have moved into our city since Mr. McCallum was voted out of office by Surrey voters for mismanaging city hall. Our city has grown, but we’ve kept our taxes the lowest in the region, and Surrey has the lowest per capita spending. Meanwhile, we’ve added more pools, parks, rinks and rec centres than ever before, and we’ve done that while we’ve balanced our books and built cash reserves of almost $500 million.” Hepner also questioned McCallum’s plan to strip three per cent out of the City’s budget. “There he goes again, trying to move us backwards, when our city wants to go forward,” noted Hepner. “We’ve got the lowest per capita spending in the region, so where does he think he’s going to cut $12 million from the city’s budget? No more parks? No more rec centres? No more rinks? Maybe he’d like to take it out of the police budget, or he’d like to cancel our green city initiatives? Frankly, I think he’s simply pulled a number out of the air, and it shows, once again, just how disconnected he is from today’s Surrey. “At the end of the day, we all have a decision to make on November 15: do we keep our city moving forward, or do we go backwards. That’s the biggest point of difference between Doug McCallum and me. I see Surrey with a great future, while he can’t wait to turn Surrey around and head back to 1993.”

ROAD RULES

Saturday, Oct. 11, 2014 | Indo-Canadian Voice

Statistics to the Rescue By Cedric Hughes

VANCOUVER, October 2nd —A single vehicle crash on Main Street near East 49th kills two of the passengers; October 3rd —A cyclist hits and kills a pedestrian crossing Stanley Park Drive near the Totem Poles; October 4th —A fiery collision between a Volkswagen Beetle and a truck on the Lions Gate bridge shuts down the bridge for at least two mid-

day hours and snarls traffic throughout the North Shore and into the downtown core with reports of many hospitalized … October is off to a very bad start in terms of road carnage throughout the Lower Mainland. The number of traffic related fatalities for 2014 has now reached from five to eight. The three latest victims were all elderly: an 82-year-old man and a 74year-old woman in the single vehicle crash, and a 71year-old male pedestrian. 70 may be the ‘new 60’ in lots of ways but elderly people are more fragile and less resilient no matter how young at heart they appear to be.

But beyond this there appear to be no other common factors. Investigators will check for all the usual contributing factors: drug or alcoholimpaired drivers, distracted drivers, drivers suffering acute medical conditions, speeding drivers, passengers not wearing seatbelts, vehicles with mechanical problems, adverse road conditions…all the usual factors. Although it is unlikely we will ever learn the final conclusions regarding causation, almost certainly, one way or another, these deaths could have been avoided. Bad runs of traffic crashes happen from time to time

and there are many motivators for trying to make some sense of them. Most obvious is the need to find the cause and avoid repetition. Our road traffic system is so intertwined with our lives that we take it for granted. We enjoy the benefits it provides of easy and fast connectivity. In all of human history there has never been a time when more people have been able to ‘go places’, ‘get around’, ‘travel’ near and far more easily, more quickly, cheaply and indeed safely— or at least without incident for long intervals. We may be lulled into complacency. We let down our guard. But then,

suddenly, whether on our own account or through the media, there it is again, the reminder—a small event or a catastrophe — that embedded in this marvelous system is the ever-present potential for risk to materialize. It’s not a perfect world, by any means. To quell our fears and do our best to stay safe and prevent ‘bad runs’ we have devised many responses, but in the main, we keep statistics. Such records allow us to find what patterns, if any, exist and to learn what counter-measures work best. Accurate and timely tabulation of statistics relating to road safety is a proven key component of

the interpretative process—of trying to make sense of bad runs, of trying to understand what happened so that we can avoid it in the future. Identify a repeating problem, and solve it.

MP Devinder Shory: Liberals are divided on dealing with the threat from ISIL DEVINDER Shory, Conservative MP (Calgary Northeast), on Wednesday made the following statement in response to Parliament approving the combat mission in Iraq: “Our Conservative Government understands that we have a responsibility to protect Canadians and defend them from those that would seek to harm us. That is why, under the leadership of our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada is joining the international coalition, led by the United States and President Obama, to severely weaken the terrorist organization ISIL. “The Liberals, led by Justin Trudeau, believe that Canada

should let our allies shoulder the military burden and do nothing. But if we want Canada to be taken seriously by the international community we must join the United States, Australia, France, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates in airstrikes to weaken ISIL, and allow aide to reach the civilian population. Even elder Liberal statesmen like former ministers Lloyd Axworthy and Ujjal Dosanjh disagree with Trudeau’s position. “I know that Canadians have been horrified by the unspeakable acts that ISIL has committed against innocent civilians in the territory it controls – torture,

beheading of children and aid workers, rape and selling women into slavery, slaughtering of minorities and groups whose only crime is being or thinking differently from ISIL. This stands in stark contrast to everything that Canada stands for. “Not only does ISIL directly threaten the stability and security of the region, but it has also specifically targeted Canada and Canadians, urging supporters to attack ‘disbelieving Canadians in any manner,’ vowing that that we should not feel secure, even in our homes. “Just today, CSIS testified before a House of Commons committee that at least 80 Canadians

have returned to Canada after travelling overseas to train and take part in terrorist activities in the Middle East and Africa. We must prevent terrorist acts from occurring on Canadian soil. “Unlike the Opposition Liberals and NDP, I believe that ISIL poses a real threat to Canadians and that if left unchecked this terrorist organization will grow quickly, and so Canada must join our allies and work to weaken and degrade ISIL’s ability to operate. “It is for all these reasons that I voted in favour of the motion in Parliament in support of the combat mission in Iraq. I am proud that Canada will do its part to combat the threat of ISIL.”
