Are we in the midst of a gang war?

Four shootings in past month in Surrey were gang-related, police believe

by Kevin Diakiw THE MAN killed in Surrey this week was the

target of an attempted murder in Coquitlam just over a year ago.

Jaskaran Singh Sandhu’s body was found at 9:30 a.m. on Monday by pedestrians in south Newton.

His body was found near a ditch in the

12300-block of Colebrook Road.

“Mr. Sandhu was known to police and the victim of a targeted attack,” said Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Cpl. Adam MacIntosh. “Investigators continue to search for the motive behind his killing, including the possibility of it being gang related.”

Sandhu, 26, was the target of a brazen day-

light shooting in Coquitlam 15 months ago.

In September, 2011, Sandhu was standing near of his black Nissan Altima in one of the oil change bays at a Mr. Lube location when a man approached and began firing. The suspect fired approximately five shots before jumping into a nearby vehicle and speeding off.

There was speculation at the time about whether that shooting was related to a high-

profile gang shooting outside the Delta Grand hotel in Kelowna in August, 2011.

Monday’s killing was Surrey’s fifth murder in a month. IHIT said it’s too early to characterize the latest Surrey shootings as a gang war.

On Jan. 15, Manjinder Singh Hairan, 29, was fatally gunned down near 127 Street and 112B Avenue in Bridgeview.

New trial begins for men accused of killing pregnant Surrey woman 2008 convictions overturned in stabbing death of Tasha Rossette

by Sheila Reynolds SURREY RCMP Const. April Brooker was on general duty just after noon

on Nov. 22, 2005 when she got the call to attend a home in Newton where a woman was reportedly found dead.

As Brooker pulled up to the house on 72 Avenue near 143 Street, she saw a woman standing on the front lawn, who she remembers “appeared frantic.” The woman led Brooker and a fellow police officer through the garage area of the home, where she immediately saw a body on the ground.

It was a female laying on her back near the threshold to the suite entrance, where the door was open.

The deceased woman, it turned out, was 21-year-old Tasha Rossette, a single mom of a three-year-old daughter, Tasha Rossette with another child on the way. The woman who found her said she was Rossette’s sister.

Brooker was testifying in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday, the opening day of trial for Amjad Khan and Naim Saghir, both charged with firstdegree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in Rossette’s death.

Child sex predator awaits sentence Ibata Hexamer could be deemed a dangerous offender

by Sheila Reynolds A Sex offeNder who admit-

ted to raping children in Surrey, Delta and Vancouver has yet to be sentenced for his crimes as lawyers wrangle over facts in the case.

On Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, Ibata Noric Hexamer’s sentencing was adjourned until Feb. 12, when the Crown and defence are expected to submit an agreed statement of facts.

Those facts, the Crown said, will then be used to order a psychiatric assessment to determine whether Hexamer should be declared a long-term or dangerous offender – designations applied to sex offenders considered at high risk of re-offending.

Hexamer has been in jail since December 2010, when he was arrested after DNA evidence linked him to numerous attacks in the Lower Ibata Hexamer Mainland.

Last August, he pleaded guilty to assaults involving children between 1995 and 2009.

The most recent took place in Surrey in 2009 when Hexamer approached a six-year-old girl who was walking near 139 Street and 62 Avenue with her older brother and his friend. Hexamer asked the group for directions, then grabbed the girl and took her into a nearby forest at knifepoint, ordering the boys to follow. He then sexually assaulted the girl.

In 2007, Hexamer approached two 14-year-old girls in North Delta to ask for directions, then threatened them with a knife and forced them into a wooded area where he sexually assaulted them.

The 1995 case involved a girl outside a school. Hexamer asked her for help finding his child, and then pulled the victim into a stairwell, where he assaulted her.

A dangerous offender may be sentenced to an indefinite prison term, while a long-term offender may be supervised up to 10 years after serving a jail term.

Surrey tables new 10-year homelessness strategy Report calls for new shelter and more outreach in master plan

by Kevin Diakiw A New shelter in Whalley, expanded drop-in services, a

better mix of housing types, and more outreach services are just some of the recommendations being made in a new city plan to address homelessness in Surrey.

On Monday night, city council considered a 131-page draft Master Plan for Housing the Homeless in Surrey – a document that will direct how Surrey deals with the issue for the next 10 years.

It builds on what Surrey has accomplished over the last six years, which includes adding 272 new housing units and 198 shelter beds, as well as the introduction of the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society.

But that hasn’t been enough to meet the growing need.

The report indicates much more needs to be done, including creating a suitable replacement homeless shelter in Whalley.

The facility would perform the same role as the existing Gateway Shelter in the 10600-block of 135A Street, but would include longer stays and 24-hour access.

“In terms of suitability, many of the current drop-in and shelter facilities in Surrey are functioning out of buildings that were not designed for the purpose of providing emergency services,” the report states, adding the new shelter should be combined with transitional housing. “The demand for shelter beds dedicated for women, aboriginal individuals and youth was noted to be particularly high as well as they do not typically access traditional adult shelters.”

The plan calls for an expansion of drop-in services to meet the needs of specific groups such as at-risk women, particularly sex-trade workers, youth and aboriginal people.

“Senior levels of government are going to realize, hopefully eventually, the need to put housing first for people.”

Coun. Judy Villeneuve

Surrey also needs transitional housing in several forms, including new homes where financially possible, and existing buildings, where available.

An increase in the number of outreach workers and housing follow-up services is also on the list of primary needs in Surrey, according to the report.

“Providing continual contact and support to individuals living in private market rentals is a key service that helps to prevent homelessness or minimize the cycle of homelessness from reoccurring,” the report states.

The report also recommends working with BC Housing and the Fraser Health Authority to introduce or improve key services.

Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the city’s social planning committee, said Tuesday the master plan is an important guiding document for how this city addresses homelessness.

“There’s been a lot of work done on that study,” Villeneuve said Tuesday.

The plan is laying the groundwork so that senior levels of government see this city is serious about solving the problem, she said.

“Senior levels of government are going to realize, hopefully eventually, the need to put housing first for people,” Villeneuve said, adding the savings will come from policing and health costs. “I think there’s going to be a relook in this country as a whole regarding rental housing and the need for certainly rehabilitating the rental housing that’s in place.”

The plan now goes back to the public and to key stakeholders, and will come back to council for final adoption after that.

This is the second trial for the pair, having had their 2008 murder convictions overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal in 2011.

In her opening arguments, Crown prosecutor Donna Ballyk said Khan and Rossette had gone to school with one another several years earlier, but had a more current sexual relationship.

Rossette, said Ballyk, was 17 weeks pregnant with Khan’s child. The prosecutor said the Crown’s line-up of witnesses will show that Khan wanted Rossette

killed because she refused to have an abortion.

The numerous witnesses will include two different men Khan allegedly tried to hire to kill Rossette, as well as a former roommate who claims Saghir admitted slashing Rossette’s throat.

Rossette was out playing bingo the night of her death. Her daughter had been left with friends.

Khan picked up Rossette after bingo to drive her home, stopping for Subway sandwiches along

the way. In the meantime, Ballyk said, the evidence will show Saghir had snuck into Rossette’s suite. Khan, she said, drove the pregnant young mother home, knowing that Saghir was waiting to kill her.

Rossette died Nov. 20, 2005. Her body wasn’t discovered by her sister until two days later.

In earlier testimony, Cpl. Christine Lloyd, who was with the forensic identification section of the RCMP at the time,

reviewed photos she’d taken at the crime scene, including one of a knife found behind the home, a full Subway bag near the suite entrance, and a close-up of the deceased’s hand holding what appeared to be a clump of hair.

Tensions were high inside and outside the courtroom Monday morning as family and friends of Rossette and supporters of the two accused exchanged glares and harsh words.

Khan and Saghir sat side-by-side in the plexiglass prisoners’ box as they listened to opening-day testimony.

Khan, his head shaved bald with a short beard, wore a black sweater with a white dress shirt underneath, and gave a small smile and wave to people in the court gallery. Saghir wore a dark suit jacket, his short, dark hair gelled.

The trial continues.

Some victims: Were earlier targets From page 1

Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun was also shot and injured in that incident.

On Jan. 13, Manjot Dhillon was shot and killed near 168 Street and 76 Avenue.

Later that same night, John McGiveron and Geordie Carlow, both 33, were found shot to death in a parkade near 128 Street and 94 Avenue. (Police don’t believe that shooting was gang-related).

According to IHIT, the Hairan and Dhillon shootings were gang-

related, with the victims believed to be associates of the Dhak-Dhure gang, which is allegedly involved in an ongoing conflict with the Red Scorpions, Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers.

Some of the same people shot recently in Surrey had been targets before, in what was believed to be retaliation for the Kelowna shooting of Red Scorpion Jonathan Bacon and Larry Amero of the White Rock Hells Angels. Bacon was killed and Amero injured.

The gang task force issued a dire warning at the time.

“To date, intelligence and information indicates that tensions amongst rival gangs have increased exponentially since the Kelowna shooting and it’s no longer a question of if retaliation will occur, but when,” the task force said in a release.

“The potential for a violent reprisal is not restricted to any one community, and can occur anywhere at anytime.”

New bylaw targets medical pot shops

Continuing Education

Special zoning and a public hearing required for commercial operations

by Kevin Diakiw

surrey is working to shut the door on

commercial medical grow operations before they begin setting up shop.

On Monday, city council unanimously called for a bylaw requiring any commercial medical grow operation to obtain proper zoning.

For that, the operator of the business would have to clear the hurdles of a public hearing, obtaining some approval from the surrounding neighbourhood.

There is only one lot in the city with the right zoning – at 107A Avenue and King George Boulevard – and it’s cityowned, so all potential legal grow-ops

would require a public hearing.

The bylaw comes as the federal government moves to outlaw medical marijuana being grown in private homes.

Surrey led the charge in shutting down marijuana grow-ops in residential homes, saying they were far more likely to catch fire than a typical home.

Citing that current medical marijuana regulations have left the system open to abuse, the federal government announced last month it intends to shift residential grow-ops from homes to larger commercial spaces.

Surrey officials want to ensure the businesses don’t spring up where they don’t want them.

High School Completion

“To pre-empt the establishment of commercial medical marijuana production facilities in Surrey... the zoning bylaw should be amended to prohibit the operation of such growing operations except (in designated zones),” a report to council states. “Under such a process, the city can ensure that the proposed use is compatible with surrounding uses...”

Health Canada allows people over the age of 18 to use marijuana to treat several medical conditions – including muscle spasms, pain, nausea and anorexia caused by serious diseases – providing they have a prescription and obtain a licence.

Keep pipeline debate moderate: MP

by Jeff Nagel

B.C.’s senior federal

cabinet minister in the Harper government is urging other politicians not to be swayed by extremists who are dead-set against new oil pipelines through the province.

James Moore predicted Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline and Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline through the Lower Mainland will dominate debate in the coming provincial election.

“I just hope we also have a reasoned debate,” Moore said in an interview in Surrey, where he was addressing the Surrey Board of Trade.

“There are those who don’t believe we should be developing our natural resources at all. And they will come up with any argument, rational or not, to stop us.”

But he said most are more moderate and prepared to export Canadian resources if it’s done in a way that’s environmentally and socially responsible.

“In a lot of these debates it polarizes very quickly and you get very loud and aggressive voices at the extreme ends of the debate, when the vast majority of the public is in the middle,” Moore said. “It’s important that all levels of government realize that’s where the public is.”

Moore said he welcomes B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake’s exploration of ways to strengthen the response to spills of any hazardous products on land, including from truck or rail cars.

“Some of these are areas of shared responsibility,” he said, noting the federal government licences the transport of goods across provincial boundaries.

His address focused on federal efforts to achieve economic growth while reducing the tax burden.

The Canadian Heritage Minister also pledged the new Canadian Museum of History will offer exhibits and artifacts – with travel and insurance costs covered

by Ottawa – allowing smaller museums across the country to showcase national treasures.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Casino public hearing changed everything

The fronT page article by Jeff Nagel (“Search

is on for new casino site,” The Leader, Jan. 24) was very informative with regards to the casino vote by Surrey mayor and council.

In the article, Michael Graydon, B.C. Lottery Corp. president and CEO, was quoted as saying, “I don’t know what changed at the last minute. Hopefully some day Mayor Dianne Watts will take the time to articulate it to us so that we can move on and learn from the experience.”

It is hard to believe that he cannot compre-

hend that during the public hearing process it was very apparent that the majority of the residents were not in favour of B.C. Lottery Corporation’s project and that the public hearing changed everything.

Our mayor and council are in their positions to serve their constituents and that has never changed .

He also said the local opposition was “mild” compared to other proposals BCLC has championed. What a shame. After public hearings, which apparently made our marathon

hearing look mild, elected officials in other jurisdictions discounted the wishes of their constituents.

Why even have a public hearing if you are not going to listen?

Hats off to our mayor; she listened. That is what a public hearing is all about.

Mayor Watts demonstrated true leadership with her vote and gained the respect of more than just the voting public in Surrey.

Darlene Bowyer, Port Kells

No stopping this highrise now

noTing ThaT construction activity

has already begun at the site for the 37-storey tower on 80 Avenue and Scott Road in North Delta, one cannot help but conclude that the public hearings held barely a month ago were not a valid desire of Delta council to listen to the neighbours’ views regarding this proposal.

There is I believe a “shut-down” during the holiday season of construction trades.

There has been no time since those hearings to consider amendments to the plans as requested.

For example, there were objections to the setback from the road being decreased and questions regarding design features to accommodate the needs of aging seniors who might occupy the building.

It seems fairly obvious that the developer knew he would be permitted to go ahead no matter what was said or requested at the meetings.

Council had already decided.

People who live near here do not want that 37-storey tower. What was the point of wasting our time and effort as clearly no one was listening at all? It was all a farce.

Surrey’s frustrating French immersion funnel i am wriTing over the frustration

I have had trying to register my son into French immersion kindergarten in Surrey.

I do not think the current set-up is working as well as it could be.

There are more than 100 elementary schools in Surrey, but only six offer early French immersion.

The system on how to register a child is also unfair and does not provide equal opportunity for those wanting their child to have a chance at learning French starting in kindergarten.

On Jan. 16 at 5 p.m., hundreds of parents and their family and friends called into one number in hopes of getting through to put their child’s name on a list for one of six schools.

It took myself and my six other family members 40 minutes to get through to a live person.

My son did not get into the school I had been hoping for and is now very far down on the waiting list and will likely not be able to ever attend the school I had wanted.

The demand for French immersion is high in Surrey and something needs to be done to ensure our children do not lose out on this opportunity.

I am not alone in this situation, far from it.

Canada’s abortion matter still not settled

Write to us

Jan. 28 markeD the 25th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada decision, R. v.

Morgentaler which struck down this country’s abortion laws, allowing abortion on demand for any reason through all nine months of pregnancy.

This gives us good reason to reflect on the status quo that has been now for a quarter-century.

Looking at the past decades of political discourse it’s clear that even after 25 years,

Letters to the editor must identify writers by proper name, and provide address and phone numbers for verification. The Leader reserves the right to edit for brevity, clarity and legality.

Canadians are nowhere near settled on the matter of pre-born human rights – and for good reason. Statistics Canada reports that in 2009 there were over 11,000 abortions after 13 weeks gestation.

Interestingly, other Western nations, some of which are more secular than ours, recognize in law the rights of pre-born children at 12 weeks gestation.

The issue of legal protection for children in the

womb is difficult, but it does not justify inaction.

It’s time for Canada to start setting things right.

Yes, the politics are complicated and difficult.

But that should never excuse a First World nation from doing everything it can to protect the weakest members of society.

tions in those fields.

The report makes 44 recommendations, including a call for the provincial government to draw up a science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and training strategy.

Too few students enrol in post-secondary study leading to applied science careers, it warns, and a major wave of retirements of older tech workers is approaching.

The province’s plan to export liquefied natural gas is expected to account for $48 billion in investment and 1,400 new jobs.

The report said the success of the province’s jobs plan in several key sectors will hinge on its ability to usher young people, new Canadians, aboriginals and others into the new careers.

Recommendations include extending a training tax credit to employers of certified technologists and technicians.

B.C.’s major universities are also issuing a call for more public funding.

The Research Universities’ Council of B.C. forecasts a serious skills shortage will hit the province starting in 2016.

The council predicts 18,800 jobs could go unfilled by 2020 because too few residents have the needed training, forcing B.C. to import skilled workers.

“It’s a myth that tomorrow’s jobs don’t require university education,” SFU president Andrew Petter said.

The research council urges the province to add 11,000 new postsecondary student spaces over the next four years to ensure there is space for every qualified B.C. student, along with more grants, scholarships and student loan help.

Same pay for Metro directors

Regional board votes to keep fees at $346 per meeting

by Jeff Nagel Metro Vancouver

directors have quietly torpedoed a staff suggestion that they be paid much less to attend conferences, conventions and other events on behalf of the regional district.

The board voted without debate Friday to make only minor changes to its director remuneration bylaw.

Mayors and councillors who serve on the regional district board will continue to get at least $346 per day for each board or committee meeting they attend, as well as authorized external events, such as courses, conventions, seminars, workshops and conferences.

Regional district staff last year recommended chopping the rate for external events to a flat $100 a day but that was rejected in committee and never made it into the final bylaw.

Directors were unapologetic.

“It was terribly

unfair,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said after the meeting, adding critics should compare Metro directors’ pay to that of TransLink or the Vancouver airport authority board.

“It’s always popular to say Metro Vancouver directors or indeed any public servants are overpaid,” he said.

“I think we have to be open and accountable and reasonable. But reasonable doesn’t mean we do things basically for nothing.”

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson also opposed the reduction to a flat $100.

She and other directors said it didn’t fairly reflect that some events require a Metro representative to do little more than “sit there” while others consume much time and effort.

“If you’re doing a lot of work and making a huge presentation and you’re really having to work very, very hard for a conference, that’s a little different than

just sitting and being an observer,” she said.

“I’m not saying we should be doing it for free. But by the same token we cannot overstep what is reasonable.”

Board chair Greg Moore said staff have been asked to again consider the issue of external event pay to see if a better compensation model can still be devised.

The revised bylaw continues to set the board chair’s salary ($69,128) at 75 per cent of the median of Metro Vancouver mayors’ salaries, and the per meeting fee paid to other directors is 0.5 per cent of the chair’s pay.

The meeting fee, currently $346, will now be recalculated once every three years and will move up with inflation in the intervening years.

The fee doubles to nearly $700 if a meeting, or an event including travel time to get to it, runs longer than four hours.

Metro directors’ travel, expenses and

meeting fees will be regularly posted to the metrovancouver.org website starting this year, Moore said.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman said he’s “appalled” the board missed a chance to do the right thing.

“I think any notion community service plays a part in serving in political office is quickly evaporating among taxpayers,” Bateman said.

“There’s no way someone should be paid $700 for sitting in a conference all day when they’re already being paid by their own municipality and being paid to attend board meetings and committee meetings for Metro Vancouver.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he wanted to eliminate the provision for meeting fees to double after four hours.

“You’re always going to have critics say you’re paid too much,” he said.

“I’ll never figure out

why those critics believe it’s fine for the CEO of a corporation to get $50 million in shares as compensation but actually paying a politician is verboten,” he said.

Typically, directors collect $10,000 to $20,000 a year from their Metro roles.

Noisy frogs or violent massacre?

‘If you don’t sweat the little things, they become the big things, says Delta police chief

by Jeff Nagel Delta’s mayor and police chief struck back last week at calls from Vancouver for a

regional police force with examples of the no-call-too-small policing style they say their community cherishes.

And for Chief Jim

Cessford, it doesn’t get smaller than the time he sent reluctant officers to a call about loud frogs croaking noisily in one man’s backyard.

They arrived to find the caller in “dire need” of psychiatric treatment.

He got help and Cessford counts it as a local policing win – he imagines the same man, ignored, walking into a restaurant with a gun.

“If you don’t sweat the little things, they become the big things,” Cessford said. “I’d prefer to deal with the noisy frog complaint, quite frankly, rather than a Newtown massacre.”

Delta Police visited one home in North Delta 250 times in a single year to respond to complaints about loud parties and barking dogs, he added.

“We put the pressure on, we problem solved and these people left,” Cessford said.

Police calls in Delta have fallen more than 40 per cent since 1995 – a plunge Cessford attributes in large part to the focus on local policing.

Regional force: ‘What’s in it for my people?’

From page 12

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson predicts a regional force would deplete Delta of the boots on the ground to deliver nocall-too-small policing.

“What is in it for my people?” she asked. “It would be taking our resources and putting them into Vancouver. The small things would not be cared for, there’s no question about that.”

Jackson cited the experience with regionalization in Halifax and Ottawa, adding that led to fewer officers in many areas and lower service levels.

“The advantages of a regional force go only to the big cities,” she said.

A mayor of a smaller city might never be able to phone up the regional police chief to ask for a particular policing priority, Jackson said, while back in Delta, her council can fire Cessford if things “go badly.”

And she predicted community policing buy-in would evaporate under a regional force – volunteers and reserve officers wouldn’t sign up.

Missing Women inquiry head Wally Oppal called last month for a regional police force and said serial killer Robert Pickton would have been caught sooner – saving lives – had one been in place years ago.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson endorsed a regional force and gave the idea a further push when he said it should be a provincial election issue.

Oppal argued only a regional force can ensure a unified command structure and avoid the poor coordination and finger-pointing that plagued the

Pickton investigation.

Cessford and Jackson said they’d support a variation of regional policing that merges homicide squads and other integrated specialized policing units into a single regional specialty force but preserves the local police service – an idea Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts also supports.

Asked how much of a premium her taxpayers pay for an independent force operating under no-call-too-small directives, Jackson said what’s important are the results and residents’ sense of safety.

“People have never complained about the amount of money we are putting into policing.”

But Jackson promises community meetings to consider regional policing and determine whether residents’ back her approach.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said Vancouver Police wrongly assume they should become the regional force, if one is created.

“Maybe the RCMP should take over the Vancouver Police Department,” he suggested.

He said policing has improved greatly through technology and integrated teams since Pickton.

“I don’t think regional policing is a panacea,” Fassbender said, adding the focus should be on better integration.

Municipal forces police Vancouver, West Vancouver, Port Moody, New Westminster, Delta and Abbotsford, while all other cities have RCMP detachments. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Woman to stand trial for spouse’s murder Quannah O’Soup stabbed

by Sheila Reynolds A North Delta woman

has been ordered to stand trial in connection with the alleged murder of her common-law husband a year-and-a-half ago.

It was the early morning hours of July 3, 2011 when police were called to a home near 115 Street and 80 Avenue where Quannah O’Soup, 38, was found stabbed and unresponsive.

The couple’s children were home at the time of the killing, said Delta Police, but did not witness it.

Beatrice Thomas, 38, was arrested about a week later and charged cceNt withew second-degree

N

A

murder.

At the time, police said they were familiar with the couple as they’d been called to the home for a domestic disturbance call a few months earlier. Thomas had been issued a peace bond which said he could only be at the house if he was sober.

Thomas’s murder trial was ordered by a Surrey Provincial Court judge after a week-long preliminary hearing of the evidence that concluded Monday (Jan. 28).

Details from the hearing cannot be reported due to a court-ordered publication ban.

The trial will be heard in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. A iNdow date will beAshioNs set Feb. 21.

‘Cop Killin Villain’ charged Surrey’s Ian Campbell accused in attack on girl

by Monisha Martins The man arrested for

kidnapping a teenage girl from a Maple Ridge mall earlier this month has an extensive criminal history that began as a youth with a group of teens who called themselves “The Cop Killin Villains.”

Ian James William Campbell was charged Jan. 24 with one count each of kidnapping using a weapon, attempting to choke to overcome resistance, assault causing bodily harm, and unlawful confinement.

He remains in custody and is set to appear via video for a bail hearing today (Jan. 31.)

The 25-year-old man was arrested around 10 p.m. Jan. 22 in Vancouver by members of the Vancouver Police Department’s Emergency Response Team and Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Street Enforcement Unit.

His arrest came after a public appeal by police for tips in the violent abduction of a 17-year-old girl in Maple Ridge on Jan. 19.

“Shortly after we released the suspect’s picture, we started to receive tips,” said Insp.

David Fleugel. “That allowed us to quickly identify and then locate the suspect.”

The girl was standing outside her place of work when she was approached by a man on foot around 8 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 19.

According to police, the man told the teen he needed help to start his car.

The girl went to help the man, but he produced a gun and forced her to drive her car, a red 1993 Honda Civic, out of the mall to a secluded area, where police say he physically, but not sexually, assaulted her.

Badly beaten, she still managed to fight him off, ripping a gold cross from him during the struggle, and escaped to a nearby house, where police were called.

After police appealed for information, several other women contacted investigators, saying they were approached by a similar man near Maple Ridge’s Westgate mall.

Campbell’s criminal history dates back to 2005 and includes convictions for assault, flight from a peace

officer and theft.

Police are also investigating the 25-year-old’s links to across crimes in

the Lower Mainland.

Campbell is known to use the alias James Austin, as well as James

Scott Calegerro, James William Smithe and Alexander Robert Dunphy.

Odour bylaw foul: Delta

by Adrian MacNair Delta council has

expressed concern over a new Metro Vancouver odour bylaw which may target the agricultural sector for emitting unpleasant smells.

According to the proposed legislation, companies would be classified within categories of low, moderate, and high potential for odour emissions.

John Savage, president of the Delta Farmers’ Institute, said the bylaw is based on the concept of “pollute in exchange for cost” and does not and will not stop odours.

Coun. Bruce McDonald said it’s hypocritical to enforce odour control for “Farmer Jones” while Metro Vancouver’s Annacis Island sewage treatment plant is able to continue.

“You know we have a police department and there’s laws passed and they have to enforce those laws against everyone, including their own,” he said.

The River District Centre holds the presentation centre, Romer’s Burger Bar and a community centre.

“To receive international accolades puts both River District and Vancouver in the spotlight.”

Move-in ready homes in Coquitlam

Finding a perfect view at Polygon’s Tamarack

By Kerry Vital

Polygon Homes is building on its reputation for quality homes with Tamarack, its newest condominum development in Coquitlam’s Dayanee Springs community. With amazing features, a convenient location and plenty of amenities, it’s easy to imagine calling Tamarack home.

“It is literally almost impossible to choose my favourite part,” says sales manager Theresa Liljedahl says. “There are so many perfect things about it.”

One of those perfect things is the amazing natural views from every home. Depending on where you are in the building, your new home will either look out at Mount Baker or at Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain.

“The views are fantastic,” Liljedahl says. Each home features an outdoor balcony or patio, with some groundlevel homes including a private yard.

Even when the weather outside isn’t so great, the huge windows in your home will let the natural light pour in.

Inside, polished granite countertops and flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the kitchen is complemented by the stainless-steel appliances and warm wood laminate flooring, which continues into the other living areas.

A full-height pantry is offered in some homes, which adds more storage space to a kitchen that is already wonderful.

A breakfast bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or gathering around during a dinner party is also an integral part of most of the homes.

The luxury continues in the spa-like bathrooms, with their gorgeous marble or quartz countertops and laminate cabinetry. Most homes include double sinks, which are a masterstroke of convenience for couples, and a deep soaker tub in the ensuite. A ceramic tile tub and shower surround with mosaic glass tile accents is clean and elegant, while the full-width vanity mirror is complemented by soothing lighting that will never put you in a bad light.

The two-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with thoughtfully designed floorplans that are great for couples, young families and roommates.

“Polygon can design a layout that is very attractive,” Lilejedahl says.

“They’ve perfected the plans to give you the most usable space.”

Tamarack is the final phase in Polygon’s Dayanee Springs community, and homeowners will be able to take

The club includes an outdoor pool, whirlpool spa and kids club, a furnished terrace with a large barbecue, a fully equipped fitness studio and a great room that is perfect for entertaining with its stone-clad fireplace, lounge seating and billiard table. It also holds a pet spa area, screening room and many other things.

“We’ve had weddings there, bridal showers, everything,” says Liljehdahl.

“You don’t have to entertain at home if you have a group of people over.”

Kwantlen’s women’s team gets a split, men lose two

Eagles move closer to playoffs

by Rick Kupchuk The KwanTlen Eagles have put a little more

distance between themselves and seventh place, moving a game closer to clinching a berth in the PACWEST women’s basketball playoffs.

The Eagles defeated the Camosun Chargers of Victoria Friday night, but lost Saturday afternoon to the Vancouver Island Mariners. Both games were at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Now at 8-7 on the season with six games to play, the Eagles are in fifth place in the eight-team league. Six teams will advance to the playoffs, and Kwantlen is four games in front of the 4-11 Langara Falcons, who are in the seventh position.

Friday’s win over a 6-9 Chargers team was the result of a second-half comeback which erased a 38-19 Camosun lead. The Eagles outscored their opponent 34-10 in the second half for a 53-48 victory.

Centre Samantha McPhail led the Eagles with 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while first-year forward Amber Kavanagh added 12 points and eight rebounds. Also scoring in double digits was Jessica Villadiego with 11 points.

“In the first half, we struggled both offensively and defensively,” said Eagles head coach Dan Nayebzadeh. “In the second half, we came out with a lot of energy, played full court defense and just continued to eat away at their lead.

“I’m really proud of the girls in the way that they fought through adversity of being down big and clawing back for the win.”

Playing for a share of third place with the Mariners Saturday afternoon, Kwantlen had an edge in most statistical categories except the score, which was 71-61 in Vancouver Island University’s favour.

Jeannine Yngresso netted 14 points to lead Kwantlen scorers, with Christina Brown adding 11 and Kavanagh scoring 10 and grabbing 13 rebounds.

The men’s team lost twice to the Vancouver Island teams, and have fallen to last place in the PACWEST standings with a 4-11 record.

Camosun outscored the home team by 16 point in the third quarter, which was the difference in a 90-76 victory.

Ali Bosir provided almost half of the

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Chris arcangel of the Kwantlen eagles collides with Clayton Billett of the Vancouver Island University Mariners during a PaCweST basketball game at Kwantlen Polytechnic University on Saturday. The Mariners won 90-68.

Eagles points total, netting 32 while collecting 16 rebounds. Nii Engmann scored 14 points and had five steals, while Tristan Gruenthaler scored 10 points and had six rebounds.

The Mariners, in second place with a 12-3 record, handled the Eagles 90-68 Saturday afternoon.

Bosir again led the Eagles attack, scoring 19 points and recording 18 rebounds, five assists and four steals.

Second-year guard Aaron Ram trailed had 18 points and seven assists, while Chris Arcangel contributed 12 points and four rebounds.

“We did not put an entire game of offense

together this weekend,” said head coach Stefon Wilson. “Our third and fourth quarters of both games displayed a lack of offense.”

Both Eagles teams will play twice at home again next weekend. They will host the Capilano Blues Friday, and the Quest Kermodes on Saturday. The women play at 6 p.m. both nights, with the men tipping off at 8 p.m.

Dillon with the Stars in Dallas Local player cracks the lineup of NHL team

by Rick Kupchuk Surrey’S Brenden Dillon

has cracked the roster of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Dallas Stars.

The six-foot-three, 210pound defenceman was called up from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League when the NHL lockout was lifted Jan. 13, and was still with the team when it played its first game six days later in Dallas against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Dillon has suited up for all seven games with Dallas, collecting a pair of minor penalties and one fighting major while averaging 17 minutes of ice time per game.

After winning two of their first three games, the Stars have lost four in a row, one of which was in overtime.

Dallas, which is tied for 11th place in the Western Conference with a 2-4-1 (wonloss-overtime loss), will visit Vancouver Feb. 15.

He began this season with the AHL’s Texas Stars, his third in Cedar Park, Texas.

After playing 10 games in 2010-11 following the conclusion of his final year of Junior hockey with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the

Brenden dillon of the dallas Stars (left) chases a St. Louis Blues opponent during a recent nHL game. After starting the season in the American Hockey League, the Surrey native has played seven games with the nHL team.

Western Hockey League, Dillon suited up for all 76 games with the Stars in 2011-12, scoring six times and adding 23 assists while assessed 119

minutes in penalties. He was called up to the Dallas Stars in April, seeing action in one NHL game.

During the NHL lockout,

he played 37 games with Texas this season, scoring three times and adding 11 assists to go with 72 penalty minutes.

More than music

The ongoing Classical Coffee Concert series at the Surrey Arts Centre offers insight on favourite classical pieces – as well as casual conversation with performers

Violinist Martin Chalifour, principal concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will perform Feb. 7 in Surrey as part of a series launched by pianist Sarah Hagen (below).

by Sarah Massah

W

hat began as a small gathering in the living room of a home in Courtenay, B.C. has quickly become hit for classical music fans in Surrey and beyond.

The Classical Coffee Concert series, which has an upcoming show on Feb. 7, is the brainchild of pianist Sarah Hagen.

For the acclaimed musician, the idea of inviting classical musical fans to her home on Vancouver Island to enjoy favourite pieces and good conversation was the perfect way to beat the feeling of isolation she felt from the community. After quickly gaining a following, she decided to move to a slightly more formal venue.

“I couldn’t have guest artists performing with me in my living room, so we moved it to a local theatre in Courtenay,” she said. “We also changed the time from evening performances to the morning, so we were able to accommodate our demographic.”

In the first year, the series produced four concerts, and was then picked up by another Vancouver Island theatre. Soon, there was discussion of bringing the series to the Lower Mainland, coinciding with Hagen’s move to Vancouver.

The talks grew to plans, and the Classical Coffee Concerts series at the Surrey Arts Centre began last February.

The series combines portions of discussion with performances featuring Hagen – who doubles as host – and collaborators, such as renowned violist Martin Chalifour, who will be featured in the Feb. 7 concert.

“It provides a little more contact between artist and audience,” Hagen explained.”We have a reception with tea and sweets and it’s a time to visit with the artist and for the audience to visit amongst themselves. It’s become a community of people who like to listen to the same music.”

With words like “classical” and “reception” to describe the series, it may seem stiff and formal, but Hagen says it’s actually quite the opposite. Many of the discussions feature anecdotes from the performers or industry gossip.

“The idea with adding the talking in between, rather than just playing music, is to engage people,” Hagen said. “Sometimes we offer up some gossipy stuff about a

composer and have some fun with it. It makes it much less stiff.”

For the upcoming performance, Hagen’s guest will be Chalifour, a friend, renowned violinist and principal concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

The duo will perform pieces by Mozart, Stravinsky and Mendelssohn – the composer who helped cement the pair’s bond.

“We were both performing at the same festival in Campbell River, and while we did not play together, we ended up speaking a lot. We spoke about Mendelssohn, who we both agreed was not played enough,” Hagen said.

When Hagen received a call from Chalifour before the new year, asking for directions to Vancouver Island, she seized the opportunity to invite him to perform.

“I tempted him by saying that the weather is always beautiful in February, so he didn’t have to feel bad about leaving L.A.,” she laughed.

The two are set to play Stravinsky’s Suite Italienne, an arrangement of several movements from his ballet Pulcinelle, Mozart’s haunting Sonata K.304, which is played in minor key, creating a “fragile, and very delicate sound” and of course, Hagen’s favourite, Mendelssohn’s Sonata in F major.

“There is something very precious about this program,” Hagen said. “And having an artist of Martin’s calibre at this performance, I just don’t think people understand the rarity of that. For him to come here is amazing. He’s such an incredible talent and so personable.

People will feel like they can talk to him and that’s a rare treat.”

With only one remaining performance to follow on March 14, featuring cellist Ariel Barnes, Hagen is already in the process of planning the next year, especially after receiving such a warm welcome.

“People respond in such a familiar way after a while. Usually with a series, there are about five different ensembles, but because I am in every concert, people feel like they know me and they do,” she said. “They’re more willing to share their feelings and it creates a beautiful friendship.”

Tickets ($22.50) for the Feb. 7 show are available at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave., online at tickets.surrey.ca or by calling 604-501-5566. smassah@peacearchnews.com

Millions pledged to fund Emily Carr campus and Times of India Film Awards

by Tom Fletcher A $113-million pledge to create a

world-class campus for Emily Carr University of Art + Design will help B.C. remain competitive in the fast-changing digital media industry, says B.C.’s minister in charge of arts and culture.

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett joined Premier Christy Clark in East Vancouver last week to announce the new home for Emily Carr, to be completed by 2016.

The site is already home to a master’s program in digital media co-sponsored

by Emily Carr, B.C. Institute of Technology Simon Fraser University and the University of B.C. Bennett said he met with representatives of the 4,000 movie and TV people who staged a rally last week to call for more tax breaks for the B.C. industry.

Bennett and Clark have ruled out further tax credits to match more generous programs in Ontario and Quebec.

Bennett acknowledged B.C. has lost some major movie projects to other Canadian and U.S. locations, but he

said B.C. already provides generous tax breaks and Vancouver’s reputation for technical work remains strong.

“When those films are shot, guess where they come for post-production work? They come back here,” Bennett said. “And it’s graduates from this school, and future graduates who will do that kind of work.”

Clark touted her announcement that B.C. is putting up $11 million to host the Times of India Film Awards in Vancouver in April. Work is continuing to attract film production from India, whose industry is known as Bollywood and produces hundreds of movies a year.

“That’s real work,” Clark told reporters at the Emily Carr announcement.

“It’s not going down to the land of make-believe.”

That was an apparent shot at NDP leader Adrian Dix, who flew to Los Angeles to meet with film makers and movie studio executives. Dix and NDP arts and culture critic Spencer Chandra Herbert took part in what was described as an “advocacy effort” to bring movie projects to B.C.

as his nephew Michael Bowen watches, allan Dunn takes a break from his retirement party to fix a bicycle at Dunn’s electronics. Bowen came to the recent party from arlington, Wash.

A farewell to Dann Family-run store opened in Cloverdale in 1921

by Jennifer Lang

T

here was plenty of laughter, a few tears and countless good memories shared as friends, family and long-time customers crowded into Dann’s Electronics recently for Allan Dann’s retirement party.

The 88-year-old sold the building and closed the long-running service and sales operation, which started out as his father, Ernest’s, bicycle repair shop in 1921.

Right to the end, Dann’s Electronics at 5657 176 St. has been an essential component of Cloverdale life, providing families with their first home appliances and TVs, along with an unmatched level of customer service, earning a special spot in people’s hearts.

Friend Alan Clegg said his family’s experience was typical. When he and his wife bought their first home in 1970, they shopped around for a refrigerator and stove before heading to Dann’s.

“When we told Allan we’d like to buy from you, but we can get it cheaper somewhere else, he said, ‘I’ll split the difference with you.’ ” The Dann generosity was something of a family trademark.

Peggy Hansen, a retired school teacher who started working at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in 1946, recalled the day she tried to buy a floor polishing machine from Mrs. Dann – Allan’s mother – but couldn’t afford it.

“She said, ‘Pay me a dollar down and a dollar a month.’ I said, ‘Okay.’

So that’s what I did. It took me quite a while to pay it off.’ ” “We grew up with this store,” added

allan Dann talks to his niece Jennifer Donovan at the retirement party. Dunn’s father Ernest opened what was at first a bicycle repair shop in the 1920s on Cloverdale’s main street (below).

Peggy’s daughter, Dee, who taught at Lord Tweedsmuir from 1974 to 1981.

“I have memories of coming in. It hasn’t changed much!”

Growing up in Cloverdale, Dee said everyone’s dad ran a local business (hers owned Hansen Quality Shoes and Repairs Ltd.) or worked at

SECTion C o-ordinaTor: Boaz Jo SEP h (PhonE 604-575-2744)

the Cloverdale Co-op, living so close by they walked home for lunch.

“It was really different place back then,” Dee said. “Growing up in a small town is really special. Everybody knows each other. The families used to get together. There wasn’t any TV. You’d actually get together. It was a community, there were dances.”

Dann’s Electronics closed after 91 years on Jan. 24. For more coverage, visit www. cloverdalereporter. com and its Facebook page, where a family friend has shared a photo album of Allan’s retirement party.

Taking UBC Continuing Studies’ new Surrey-based GMAT course allows students

Relief is on the way

to Surrey students who have had to face long commute times to Vancouver to take a GMAT preparation course.

Starting Feb. 19, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Continuing Studies is offering GMAT classes at the City Centre Library in Surrey.

This is the first time that any educational institution has offered a GMAT course in the Surrey area.

The GMAT, or Graduate Management Admission Test, is a standardized test used as part of the admissions criteria by graduate schools offering Master of Business Administration (MBA) and other master’s degree programs.

Most students take lessons to prepare for the exam and to maximize their score.

But for many in the Surrey and North Delta area, attending these classes has often meant

to spend less time commuting and more time studying.

The winter session of the 30-hour course will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays for five consecutive weeks, Feb.

19 to March 21. All classes will be held at the City Centre Library in Surrey from 6-9 p.m. Students should visit testprepubc.ca to register.
