Father witnessed aftermath of crash that killed five Surrey man was waiting for his family to return from prayer service by Kevin Diakiw THE BIRTHDAY cake intended for
two children killed in a horrific car accident Sunday remained at their father’s home on Monday. Gurmit (Jolly) Sachdeva told visiting mourner Gurpreet Singh that the cake would never be cut. Sachdeva was waiting at home on Sunday for his family to return from worship services. He became anxious when they were late, then heard on the radio there was a terrible car crash at 32 Gurpreet Singh Avenue and 176 Street. He drove to the intersection and saw the family car had been sheared in half, and all five occupants – his three-year-old daughter Jessica, five-year-old son Annish, sister Neelam Dhingra, 47, mother Vidya, 68, and his wife Pawandeep, 31 – were dead. When Singh, a Radio India host, went to the family home to offer condolences on Monday, Gurmit Sachdeva and several friends were crying inconsolably.
“He said, ‘we had a cake which is still waiting for my child...’”

‘Heroes’ save Surrey senior Group of Good Samaritans resuce woman from house fire
by Kevin Diakiw WITH FLAMES advancing fast, the 75-yearold woman was trapped on the balcony of a two-storey home, and but for a dramatic rescue, she might not be alive today. Sam Sihalathavong was cutting his front lawn on Monday (April 29) afternoon, when he saw smoke coming from the house next door, in the 13500-block of 66 Ave. The 49-year-old dashed over to the smouldering home, and helped a man and a child out the front door. He asked the man if there was anyone else in the house, and the man, choking from
smoke inhalation, pointed a finger upstairs. Sihalathavong ran around back to find a woman on an upstairs balcony with flames licking about a metre behind her. There was a man from a local construction site who had brought a ladder and was trying to get her off the balcony. Sam Sihalathavong climbed up to help, Sihalathavong but neither of the men could safely lift her over. A larger man, believed to be from a local halfway house, climbed
the ladder to help. While trying to get her placed on the ladder, the woman slipped, got a leg caught in a ladder rung and was hanging upside down. Sihalathavong yelled to the other men they had to lift the ladder down with the woman on it. The other two leapt down, joining Surrey RCMP Const. Avtar Dosanjh, who was driving to another call when he saw smoke, and lifted the woman to safety.

Craig Widdifield gunned down last week in South Surrey by Alex Browne

South Surrey was not the gangster he has been characterized as, his father says. “He made some mistakes in his life – mistakes in judgment – and paid for them,” Jim Widdifield said of his son, Craig. “I’m not saying he was an angel, but he was not how he’s been portrayed at all.” Craig Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in the Morgan Crossing parking lot, in the 15700block of Croydon Drive, just before 7 p.m. last Wednesday. It’s believed the shooter fled in a Jeep Cherokee and got into a silver or grey Volkswagen Passat near 28 Avenue and 165 Street. Dozens of officers raced to the shopping centre Craig Widdifield and quickly cordoned off a large section of the parking lot. A tarp could be seen covering a body lying adjacent to a silver Mercedes SUV that was parked near a toy store and a Starbucks, by a walkway leading to the Steve Nash Sports Club and overhead condominiums; the Mercedes’ driver-side door was open. Two hours later, Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy told media the victim was known to police “for this lifestyle.” Thursday, a spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation See DAD page 4

a missing South Surrey man are hoping the release of a new photo of his dog will help jog someone’s memory. It’s believed Tucker, a Springer Spaniel, may be with Vaclav (Walter) Simek, who was reported missing on April 10. The dog is always by his side,
police say. Simek, 52, was last seen in late February, at his home in the 16300-block of 8 Avenue. According to Mounties, he rented a car between Feb. 23 and March 7 to move items from his home to an unknown residence. Since the return of the rental car on March 7, there has been no banking activity or cellphone use. There is no evidence of foul
play, or to suggest that Simek has left the country. Simek is described as a 6’3”, 210-pound Caucasian man, with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, quoting file number 2013-43817. newsroom@surreyleader.com

TV debate ends in near-tie, poll shows Adrian Dix picked as winner by more, but underdog Christy Clark has the most to gain: Survey
by Jeff Nagel The Televised leaders’ debate
Monday night ended in a near-tie between NDP leader Adrian Dix and B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark, according to a new poll. The News1130/Insights West online poll found more than twothirds of B.C. residents watched at least some of the debate. Thirty-one per cent said Dix won it, 28 per cent said Clark was the winner, 13 per cent picked B.C. Green party leader Jane Sterk, while three per cent chose B.C. Conservatives leader John Cummins.
Twenty-six per cent said there was no clear winner. Those polled who picked Clark as winner said she appeared most confident, was the best speaker or provided the clearest vision for B.C., while those who said Dix won said he was best at answering questions and defending his ideas and did not make any major mistakes. The vast majority of those polled say the debate only confirmed
Christy Clark
Adrian dix
their existing choice or solidified who they were leaning towards. Just 11 per cent said they changed their voting intention as a result. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the close debate outcome appears to have sparked some momentum for Clark and the B.C. Liberals, who have consistently trailed by a wide margin in earlier polls. “Usually underdogs have the most to gain in
leaders’ debates, and in this sense, Christy Clark delivered,” Mossop said. “Sterk did as well as expected – which doesn’t impact voter outcomes, while Cummins completely flopped, which could help the right-of-centre vote if a few points get delivered to the Liberals as an outcome.” He said early polling numbers after the debate suggest the NDP continue to hold a considerable lead with about 37 per cent of decided voters, versus 27 per cent for the Liberals, 12 per cent for the Greens and seven per cent for the Conservatives.

The B.C. Coroners Service has identified the victims of a Surrey car crash as (clockwise from top left) Neelam Dhingra, Jessica Sachdeva, Vidya Wanti Sachdeva, Annish Sachdeva, and Pawandeep Arjot.
Safety: Street to be studied From page 1 “He said, ‘we had a cake which is still waiting for my child’,” Singh recalled, explaining though it was five-year-old Annish’s birthday, Jessica’s was also being celebrated because the dates were close. The three generations of the Sachdeva family were killed on Sunday, April 28 at 11 a.m. when their 1994 Toyota Corolla, traveling north on 176 Street, collided with a white 2012 Dodge Caravan, which was heading westbound on 32 Avenue. The collision sheared the Toyota in half, flipped the minivan onto its roof, and scattered debris for at least 100 metres.
Fire: ‘quick actions’ From page 1
“The quick actions of several members of the community and our officer were essential in removing this lady from a potentially fatal situation,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Tuesday. “In the face of adversity, these heroes rushed in while most would run away. Like Const. Dosanjh, many of these individuals just went back to work or carried on with their normal activities and routine.” The woman suffered second-degree burns to her left side and torso and her condition is serious. The man and a child were also taken to hospital with minor injuries, but were later released. The cause of the fire is not known.
The impact was so destructive, police could not immediately determine the make or model of the car. At a news conference Monday, Surrey RCMP Insp. Lee Chanin said it is likely that the van’s driver will face charges. Police are investigating witness reports that allege the van went through a red light. The intersection was closed for several hours as police investigated. The Lower Mainland Integrated Collision Analyst/Reconstruction Services team is also investigating. In light of the accident, Surrey’s transportation committee will examine the safety of that corner.
In particular, the committee will examine the possibility of putting an advance yellow light for traffic to prepare to stop on 32 Avenue. “I think making things safer after an incident is always important,” said committee chair Coun. Tom Gill. Whatever work is done there will have to be initiated and paid for by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation, as 176 Street is a provincial highway. That said, the city can put political pressure on the province to start the any improvements. The date of the next transportation committee is May 13.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7
A political Be wary outside in the ‘City of Parks’ prediction for May 14 Making predictions is a risky
business, especially in politics, however I feel reasonably confident enough to make some for the May 14 vote. 1). The NDP will win but I feel certain it will be a lot closer than people are suggesting. 2). It is likely that the Conservatives will do far poorer than they hope, likely zero to two seats, but they will garner enough votes from the Liberals to help elect the NDP. 3). A short time after the election, the NDP will announce they have had a good look at the financial position of the province and say it is much worse than they thought and as a consequence they will have to hold back on some of their expenditure promises (probably until shortly before the next election). 4). They will pay back the teachers and the rest of the unions by giving them a lot of gifts the unions want, even to possibly the horrible extent of getting rid of secret ballots in strike votes (which is my book supports intimidation). 5). After a major increase in provincial debt and deficit the province will throw the NDP out in four years’ time. By the way, I have absolutely no idea this time who I will vote for and may go along to spoil my ballot or vote Green, which works out to the same effect. Geoff Moxon
a young close family friend of mine was mugged for his cellphone in Hawthorne Park recently. In a city that boasts “City of Parks,” this young 13-year-old made the mistake of walking home by himself through the park on a beautiful sunny afternoon. He was sprayed with bear mace for nothing more than his cellphone. I personally work in downtown Vancouver and here we have Vancouver police officers in cars, bikes, motorcycles and on foot patrolling city streets and parks. We even have downtown
ambassadors, a group created by the city to patrol the downtown core on bicycles and on foot. Surrey, however, has the RCMP, who I have the upmost respect and admiration for, busy with homicides and other violent crimes. The problem lies not with them but those elected to protect and serve the people of Surrey. They have the means and the money to make a difference. This is not the first case of it’s kind and certainly not the last. The archives of The Surrey
Leader will attest to that fact. If you’re a parent like me who cares for the safety of our children, take action. Write to your MLA, to your mayor, to The Leader. Cowards such as those who accosted my young friend do not like an audience. Walk your dog through a park, ride your bike through a park and keep watch over the children of Surrey. They need your help. Denis Roy
Thanks for helping fight MS i just thought I would let you know
how happy I was with the story that ran in The Leader on April 25. It really captured what I want people to know. Multiple Sclerosis is a two-letter word and not a sentence. Yes there will be challenges, yes it may get worse, yes I may stay the same and yes they may be able to fix those of us who have it and stop others from getting it. As you probably know, there are worse things to get and worse things happen to good people, so I just have to look at the good in all of this. I have a good husband, a good employer, good neighbours, good friends and good people looking after me. I know what I can and cannot do, what to watch for when I am doing what I can, and listen to my body when things start to go a little sideways. It feels like I am floating on air right now as our team raised $8,055.10 on Sunday at the Scotiabank MS Walk in Surrey – thanks to a lot of wonderful people. BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

The parties, the election, the public’s concerns
Many British Columbians are
apprehensive –and some are scared to death – about the possibility of Adrian Dix becoming premier. The B.C. Liberals created such a tsunami of disgust and distrust, the NDP should have been able to surf into power without making any expensive promises. Premier Christy Clark claims to be the champion of free-enterpriser so she must believes in the value of real competition. A credible alternative for the privilege of governing B.C. is necessary to prevent the onset of complacency, incompetence and corruption. The record of the B.C. Liberals’12-years of rule proves the point. Even Christy Clark cannot rewrite history by simply distorting the facts and figures. If the NDP is elected and then betrays the voters’ trust by mismanaging the province’s finances, British Columbians will send Mister Dix’s party back to the opposition benches in the next election. Hope-
fully Adrian Dix is smart enough and tough enough to run an efficient and ethical government.

Never run a red light i feel i Must comment on the
admission by our premier, Christy Clark, that she ran a red light and because it was only 5 or 5:30 a.m. it was not that big of a deal. Several years ago I was driving home at about 1 a.m. I approached an intersection and had the right of way. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a car speeding to the intersection on my left side. This car ran the red light. I had enough time to apply the brakes so that the impact was taken on the driver’s side front fender and we, his car and mine, took out only a lamp post and not my life. I was
not at all impressed as he destroyed my first brand new car and injured my knee. It does not matter what time you run a red light it is never the right thing to do. It is a demonstration of poor judgement and lack of regard for the safety of others in my opinion.

Parties need to listen i’M a 30-year-old single mom of a four-month-old daughter. I am speaking out because I believe a lot of people need to vote out the B.C. Liberals this year. Single parents and low-income families depend on their child tax credit to help them get by and after watching the TV debate, I am disgusted that their idea of helping is using the money as an RESP. Well,
newsflash people, that doesn’t help us now. People need that to help with things they need for their kids. I am on maternity leave right now so I definitely depend on that to help support my daughter. So many people don’t vote because they don’t understand. What people don’t realize is that the wrong party will be voted in if people don’t take time to listen and learn to what is goin on. I will be voting for the right party this year and I hope that people vote this time around be cause we need to make changes that work, not take away.

Stop pestering voters i have a Modest proposal for the
candidates in my riding: Please put me on your do-not-call list, and I will add you to the short list of
people for whom I will vote. You get one phone call, during which I will ask to be added to your do not call list. If you call again, I promise that I will not vote for you. Because, let’s face it, if you can’t manage a simple do-not-call list, how can I trust you to manage the province?

Making B.C.’s congested courts more just NDP would add legal aid funding; Liberals are focusing on reform by Jeff Nagel To criTics, the BC
Liberals’ decade-plus in power has left a legacy of cuts to the court system and citizens waiting longer for justice, if they get it at all. Two dozen smaller courthouses were closed down in 2002. And by 2010, persistent budget restraint
was causing long delays in getting cases to trial, prompting the B.C. Provincial Court to issue a “Justice Delayed” report that warned more than 2,000 criminal cases were at risk of being tossed out. Despite some more judges being appointed, provincial courts run with 12 fewer judges today

An independent review two years ago recommended more legal aid funding. The NDP would modestly boost legal aid funding – from $70 million now to $80 million within three years. Krog said more than that is needed but can’t yet be promised, given budget constraints. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the justice budget did rise slightly this year to $1.14 billion, including a small increase in legal aid funding.

“To suggest that by simply adding a judge or a few dollars here or there we’re going to solve the foundational problems I think is short-sighted,” Bond said in an interview. Bond contends progress has been made in reducing congestion and the worst delays in the system have eased. There were more than 100 criminal cases stayed by judges in 2011 due to excessive delay, she noted, but that number dropped to 66 last year.

Policing: Regional force off the radar
There have been repeated
demands over the years for a regional police force to unify the patchwork of municipal and RCMP forces in the Lower Mainland. The latest has come from Missing Women Commissioner Wally Oppal, who concluded last year serial killer Robert Pickton might have been caught sooner had a regional force been in place to better coordinate the disjointed response to vanishing sex trade workers. But there’s little sign B.C.’s next provincial government will act decisively. The NDP platform is entirely silent on the topic and justice critic Leonard Krog has said he would likely not pursue regional policing without broad support from local cities, most of which are opposed. The B.C. Liberals’ platform pledges to work with police departments and communities in Metro Vancouver and the Capital Regional District to see if a regional policing system can better meet local needs while being affordable to taxpayers. But Justice Minister Shirley Bond is also cautious on the concept, promising only a formal discussion of it. “There are mixed views on whether a regionalized police force actually solves the problem,” she said, noting B.C.’s integrated poliing teams already provide highly regionalized service where justified but more may be possible. The B.C. Green party promises to establish a “provincial police service” but its platform provides no details. Several Metro Vancouver cities, some dissatisfied with the outcome of last year’s RCMP contract signing, are investigating their own options to merge police forces on a more limited basis.

Nine new judges have been appointed recently and part of their time is dedicated to reducing the backlog. The province has been on a search for deep reforms since an independent review concluded a “culture of delay” is entrenched in the system. The Liberals would look for ways to increase court resources when possible and if necessary, she said, but the emphasis will be on spending smarter, not spending more. “We have fewer cases going to court rooms today yet they’re taking longer,” Bond said, adding the crime rate is at the lowest level in nearly four decades. Bond has unveiled a plan for a Justice and Public Safety Council to better oversee the courts and recommend ways to improve performance, with help from specialty advisory boards. But B.C.’s main success so far in relieving pressure has been the move to roadside impaired driving penalties, which result in instant police-administered penalties and far fewer drunk driving cases going to court. The Liberals propose to also move traffic ticket disputes out of courtrooms to administrative tribunals. Crown prosecutors say that while the number of impaired charges has gone down, police are using the time they save on those complex investigations to crack other crimes, bringing more cases of other types before the courts. Lakshman said pervasive delays continue, especially in the worst courthouses, such as Surrey. He said delays resulted in charges recently being stayed against two police officers in Surrey accused of assaulting a senior. “These are the types of cases the community demands be tried on their merits – not be defeated by a system that simply doesn’t have the resources or the time to have a trial within a reasonable time period.” Defence lawyers know the odds and still tell their clients that rather than plead guilty they could take the “lottery ticket” of running the case to trial and seeing if it gets tossed.
“That only adds to the delay problem,” Lakshman said. The B.C. Conservatives say the courts and law enforcement have received a declining share of the B.C. budget and the party would dedicate the “requisite resources” to protect people and property.

Ridings in focus: SURREY-TYNEHEAD by Rick Kupchuk After election day on May 14,
Surrey-Tynehead will have just its second-ever MLA. Dave Hayer of the B.C. Liberal party has represented Tynehead in Victoria since the riding was created in 2001, but announced his retirement last fall. RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk has been asked to keep the riding under the Liberal banner, while the B.C. NDP has nominated restaurant owner Avtar Bains as its candidate. Barry Sikora, owner of the printing firm Classic Impressions, will run for the B.C. Conservatives, while the B.C. Vision party has nominated Sukhi Gill. The Green party has not fielded a candidate in this riding. The Liberals have won more than 50 per cent of the vote in all three elections in Surrey-Tynehead, but the margin of victory has decreased each time. Running against Pat Zanon of the NDP four years ago, Hayer was reelected with 8,814 votes to Zanon’s tally of 7,257. Hayer trounced the NDP candidate in 2001, with 61 per cent of the vote compared to 16 per cent for his
nearest rival. This year’s race in Surrey-Tynehead is expected to be the closest ever. A young electoral district – only three ridings have a higher percentage of residents 18-and-under – SurreyTynehead ranks 10th among the 85 provincial ridings with roughly 21 per cent (according to the 2006 census) of the population having emigrated to Canada since 2000, well above the provincial average of 15.9 per cent. Its percentage of single-family households ranks among the top 10 in the province, as does the percentage of families spending more than 30 per cent of its income on shelter. It also has the third-highest percentage of single dads.
Surrey-Tynehead fast facts: • 2006 population: 50,920 • 2011 Population: 58,160 • Increase: 12.4% • Median age: 38.2 • Non-English mother tongue: 44% •Average income: $70,547
if you live within these boundaries, Surrey-tynehead is your riding.

they are concerned about the economy, first and foremost. They want a government that is committed to creating jobs and the B.C.

This election is about which party is best to manage our economy. We are focused on growing the economy and creating jobs. We understand the need to strengthen international trade in order to secure new markets for goods produced in and by the people of B.C. India and China are emerging as economic superpowers and we cannot miss out on the opportunity to be at the forefront of showcasing our products in those markets.
how we are going to pay for it – without any post-election surprises like the HST. I hope you’ll join us as we work to change B.C. for the better, one practical step at a time.

where that money is going,” Rakhra said. “It starts with cleaning up Victoria.” Maureen, a Grade 11 student, asked what kind of priorities the candidates would be putting on education and how that would be funded. Mahil said the NDP would be placing a threeper-cent surcharge on banks. “We are very concerned about Surrey,” said Mahil. Sharma said one-third of the province’s population is youth and the province needs to keep up with the growing demand on schools. She said the Green party plans to pay for that by using part of the carbon tax that’s currently going to corporations. Grade 11 student Fin asked Mahil where the party was going to get the $1,500 he was promising for post-secondary education. Mahil said that was coming from a tax on banks. Rakhra later asked the group if anyone had a bank card, and if they ever paid fees. He argued those fees would go up under the NDP plan. Hunt said the best way to make education affordable is to keep money in taxpayer’s pockets. He noted during his term, the City of Surrey was able to keep residential taxes to a zero increase for nine years. About a dozen students were asked at the end of the meeting who won the debate. Half of them said they didn’t know, the other half said it was B.C. Conservative Rakhra. Even Hunt said Rakhra appeared more popular with the students. “The applause-o-meter definitely went Conservative,” Hunt said.

Curb dirty trucks: Metro
New Look. New Image. Same QUALITY education!
Truckers argue no need for costly new program by Jeff Nagel Although the trucking industry has become progressively cleaner, the dirtiest diesels on the road are much heavier polluters than the average big rig. That’s the conclusion of new research that Metro Vancouver says underscores the need for new ways to curb the worst offenders. Metro used roadside sensors on a parked trailer to test the exhaust from nearly 12,000 trucks, buses and other heavy-duty equipment last summer. Emission standards have been tightened steadily over the years and older trucks account for a disproportionate share of the industry’s emissions. But the testing found “gross emitters” – the worst 10 per cent of trucks in each age group – release four to five times more nitrogen oxides and diesel soot than a typical truck of the same age and 11 times more carbon monoxide.
tests conducted last summer with roadside sensors used ultraviolet and infrared equipment to measure contaminants from diesel trucks as they drove by. “Identifying these high emitters may be worth considering,” said Metro air quality planner Eve Hou. She said emission control systems on those bad belchers may have been tampered with or failed. Regional politicians have pushed for years to create an AirCare-like program to target heavy trucks and the province last year agreed to consider the idea, after announcing it will wind down AirCare for regular cars. Metro is sending the test results to Victoria and plans to work with the province over the
next two years to flesh out potential options for an diesel testing program. Emissions of soot, or fine diesel particulate, are estimated to be responsible for two-thirds of the lifetime cancer risk from air pollution in Metro Vancouver. Metro says the testing system tried last year appears to be a viable measurement method with minimal inconvenience to truckers. It’s also able to detect high emission levels that don’t necessarily produce visible smoke. Other options that could be considered are programs to scrap old
trucks or mandatory retrofit requirements, possibly coupled with incentives and fees. Less enthusiastic about new rules and costs is the B.C. Trucking Association, which says a new AirCare program for trucks would be unnecessary and wasteful. “A large-scale AirCarelike emissions testing program for trucks would impose unreasonable costs on the industry and produce very limited results,” president Louise Yako said. She said an Ontario testing program found fewer than four per cent of trucks there fail. The BCTA estimates 35 per cent of heavy-duty trucks in B.C. are now 2007 or newer models – with extremely low emissions – and they will make up 52 per cent of the provincial fleet by 2015 and 63 per cent by 2017. “As older trucks are retired and replaced with newer, cleaner trucks, diesel emissions will naturally decline over time...” Yako said.

Metro mayors aim to control gas taxes Cash source for TransLink could to go regional district projects
by Jeff Nagel Metro Vancouver
politicians want to retake control of how federal gas tax transfers are spent, ending an arrangement where TransLink automatically gets the money for transit upgrades. Until now, the TransLink board has decided how to spend the $120 million a year from the 10-cent-per-litre fuel tax that’s collected by Ottawa and returned to
the region. “We feel that the gas tax should go to the regional district and then the regional district should decide which projects that should be used for, as long as that meets certain criteria,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. Metro Vancouver faces billions of dollars in expenses in the coming years for two new sewage treatment plants and a new waste-to-
energy plant. Carving away some of the money TransLink gets could dramatically increase the pressure on the next provincial government to negotiate new revenue streams for TransLink. But Moore denied the Metro request is an attempt to “play politics” or that TransLink will necessarily lose out. “We might still choose that it all go towards TransLink, but we just feel there should
be greater flexibility,” Moore said. He said the issue is part of a larger problem of how to deliver more sustainable funding for cities. The old arrangement of automatically funneling the money to TransLink has been in place since 2005 and Metro politicians say it was fine when they also controlled TransLink. But that changed in 2008 when thenTransportation Minister
Kevin Falcon replaced elected reps with a professional appointed board. Metro mayors since then have challenged the new board’s spending priorities and complained about their lack of influence. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan argues TransLink has repeatedly done the provinces’s bidding by funding government priorities like faregates through the gas tax or its other

Greg Moore assured revenue sources and then leaving more pressing transit needs like the Evergreen Line dependent on the mayors agreeing to raise taxes. “We have a very controlling provincial government that wants as much as possible to control the funds sent to British Columbia under the gas tax,” he said.
“We might still choose that it will go towards TransLink, but we just feel there should be greater flexibility.” Greg Moore Corrigan predicts friction over the issue may subside if the next provincial government also puts elected civic leaders back in charge of TransLink. Metro still needs provincial and federal approval to regain control of the gas tax transfers.

Gurpal Brar killed Sukhjit Singh Johal seven years ago by Martin van den Hemel The Surrey man convicted of
the second-degree murder of a coworker at an East Richmond cabinet-making firm in May of 2006, has lost his bid for a new trial. Victim Sukhjit Singh Johal, also from Surrey, was seriously injured in the fight at Nickels Custom Cabinets in Richmond, and died in hospital. Gurpal Brar was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, and was found guilty by Madam Justice Stromberg-Stein in June of 2011. On Monday, three members of the Court of Appeal for British Columbia, rejected Brar’s appeal. “Mr. Brar appeals from his conviction on the basis the trial judge misapprehended certain material evidence and erred in her assessment of the Crown witnesses’ demeanour and credibility,” Monday’s court decision by Justice Anne MacKenzie states.

Surrey man appeals life sentence Bradley Benham convicted in the 2005 death of his common-law wife Lisa Cubin
by Tracy Holmes The appeal of a man
serving a life sentence in connection with the November 2005 death of his common-law wife in South Surrey was heard in Vancouver last week. As family members of victim Lisa Cubin and appellant Bradley Benham listened from the gallery, defence
counsel Richard Fowler outlined his client’s application to advance fresh evidence, and an “allegation of the ineffective assistance of counsel” to B.C. Court of Appeal Chief Justice Lance Finch and Justices David Frankel and Anne MacKenzie. “The essence of the claim is trial counsel’s advice to the appellant
that he should not testify and no defensive evidence needed to be called… did not in the circumstances of this case meet the standard,” Fowler said. “The defence position was not properly advanced.” Benham was convicted of seconddegree murder in November 2008, three years after 35-year-old
Cubin was found dead on her living room floor the morning following a birthday party for the couple’s young daughter. An autopsy determined Cubin had been strangled. While the case against Benham was built entirely on circumstantial evidence, following a 19-day trial in B.C. Supreme
Court, Madame Justice Barbara Fisher found “the only conclusion arising from the evidence is Mr. Benham intended to cause Miss Cubin harm.” Thursday, Fowler described trial counsel’s decision not to call Benham’s father as a witness, nor Benham himself, as mistakes that led the trial judge to the only finding

Delta’s new website Hunting bylaw tweaked to cost $100,000 Delta makes changes after damage to greenhouses
Black Press
.3125”w Hunters will x no 10”H longer be
able to shoot within 180 metres towards land on the water side of the dike between 64 and 80 Streets in Boundary Bay. Council gave first, second, and third readings to an amendment to Discharge of Firearms Regulation Bylaw on April 15. The changes were made in consultation with the Hunting Regulation Advisory Committee which issued a report in December regarding steel shot
landing on the greenhouse at the end of 64 Street that was breaking the glass panels. Local hunting groups were consulted about the change and agreed with the decision to restrict shooting toward land to prevent damage to the greenhouse, as well as the golf course at the end of 72nd Street. The bylaw already prohibits a firearm from being discharged within 137 metres of any school building, school yard, public park, playground, church, workshop, place of business, dwelling house, farm build-
ing, public highway or other place where persons may be assembled or engaged in work of any kind. Council also approved changes to the bylaw that would open two new areas for hunters within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The first parcel is located east of Highway 17 and north of 34B Avenue, and the second is located southwest of the Highway 99/17 interchange. Hunters would still need to get permission from landowners to discharge firearms on the property.
Redesign to focus on social media
Black Press Delta council has approved a $104,568 contract with Graphically Speaking Services Inc. to redesign the municipality’s website. The redesign will focus on new design elements and contemporary social media functions, like Google Maps, Event Calendars, blog-style news, RSS feeds, Twitter and Facebook, and mobile
Arbor DAy
phone support. As well, the redesign will configure and transfer Delta’s voluminous collection of existing documents and webpages. A request for qualified web design companies was posted in October 2012, and a shortlist was narrowed down to three prequalified companies. Vision Internet bid $25,205 for the contract, while Civic Plus bid $55,445, but Graphically Speaking Services Inc. was determined as the only compliant bidder at $104,568. According to a report from the finance
department, neither Vision Internet nor Civic Plus followed the requirements as set out in the request for proposal, nor were they willing to offer any type of post implementation technical support or provide a solution that was compatible with Delta’s identified hosting requirements. The website redesign had already been approved by council as part of the 2012 equipment program, which set aside $150,000 for a new website and live webcasting of council meetings, which is already implemented.

Surrey drug traffickers Got a not believable: court Good Surrey man and woman convicted
by Martin van den Hemel
A mAn And a woman
from Surrey who barely knew each other before leaving on a three-week trip abroad, carrying suitcases handed to them by a drug-dealing acquaintance who funded the trip, have been convicted of exporting a controlled substance. Michael Andre Norman Tremblay, 46, and Nadine Fayann Prevost, 33, were originally arrested in 2010, just minutes before they were to step on a plane bound for Australia. The pair, who recognized one another from hanging out at the same bar and who fed their drug habits via the same individual, were pulled aside by Canada Border Service agents at the Vancouver International Airport on April 10, 2010 after their answers to basic questions set off alarm bells. The border officers were actually checking for travellers carrying more than $10,000 in cash, but when the stories from the two travelling companions didn’t make sense, they were pulled aside for further questioning, and had their suitcases searched. Inside their luggage, border officers found 7.87 kilograms of ecstasy, also known as MDMA, with a value of around $40,000. In a B.C. Supreme Court judgement released on Thursday, Justice Gregory J. Fitch found the pair guilty. According to the ruling, Prevost and Tremblay were hired to make the trip by a drug dealer named Jimmy. Prevost, a single mother of two teens, one with special needs, said she met Jimmy in a bar through her former husband. She testified that she was contacted by Jimmy and met with him at the bar, and asked if she would like to go on a trip to Australia with a companion named Mike, someone she recognized from the bar. She was told she would be Mike’s travelling companion, and would be paid $5,000 for the trip. “She testified she had no reason not to
trust Jimmy, that he had never lied to her, and that he spent time with her family. Further, while she knew Jimmy to be a drug dealer, she did not know that Jimmy was involved in the exportation of drugs. She testified that it never entered her mind that Jimmy would do anything that might cause her to be arrested.” But Justice Fitch rejected her testimony. “The circumstances, collectively viewed were highly suspicious and I am satisfied that this was apparent to Prevost...In fact, she admitted (to two border officers) she thought something bad could be in the suitcase, knew that the suitcase “wasn’t cricket” and was nervous about it when she left for the airport.” Prevost claimed she was ignorant of what was inside the suitcases, making her an “innocent dupe.” “Ms. Prevost was not a credible witness. I do not believe the evidence she gave and would reject it entirely in so far as it concerns her knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the offence.” Tremblay testified he became addicted to pain killers, alcohol and marijuana after a car accident six or seven years ago. Tremblay, who bought cocaine from Jimmy, said he was approached about the trip about two months prior to the flight. Tremblay told the court that Jimmy said he would be transporting $250,000 in cash, and that he would be paid on his return. But Tremblay’s testimony that he did not know who he was meeting in Australia, where he was going to meet them, and did not ask Jimmy for any details about these arrangements, “is incredible,” Justice Fitch wrote. “He acknowledged in cross-examination that he understood the money Jimmy wanted transported could have been transferred through financial institutions but testified that he never asked or wondered at the time why he was being asked to do this. His
testimony on this point defies common sense. I reject completely his version of events that he thought the purpose of this trip was to transport money on behalf of
Jimmy from Australia to India,” Finch added. Ecstasy is a Schedule 1 drug, and an exportation conviction is punishable by up to life in prison.

economic spinoffs annually are at stake if the province doesn’t become more generous to the local film industry, according to the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT). At its meeting last week, the SBOT approved the position of asking the provincial government for an increase in tax credits to support B.C.’s film industry to help create jobs. The board points to an $880,000 economic impact to Surrey in 2012. City film permits issued included: 26 for TV series; three for feature films; 20 for commercials; four for Bollywood projects

The income from the film and TV sector to Surrey residents is over $24 million in annual payroll, according to SBOT, noting there is an economic urgency for the province to support its creative economy, specifically its film and television industry. “The Surrey Board of Trade doesn’t disagree the government has been generous, but there’s a 10 per cent tax-break difference between B.C. and Ontario. We want the tax break to be closer so that the local film industry can compete to obtain business”, said SBOT CEO Anita Huberman. The first concern is the loss of

The two-year freeze proposal is a repeat of the NDP’s 2009 election platform, which also promised a full review of the ferry rate structure. In an interview from the NDP campaign tour, Karagianis wouldn’t rule out further reductions in low-ridership sailings. She said the ferry commissioner would continue to operate, but “certainly the ferry corporation doesn’t always take every recommendation the ferry commissioner makes.” In fact, the B.C. Ferry Commissioner has authority under the Coastal Ferry Act to set rate caps for all 25 saltwater routes, and as of last year the office was also given the power to determine service levels on those routes. Macatee, appointed last year to the independent ferry commissioner role, has just completed a review of ferry operations designed to find $26 million in savings. The B.C. Liberal government launched the review in May 2012, after adding an additional $79.5 million to the coastal ferry service’s annual subsidy over four years, bringing it to about $180 million a year. Transportation Minister Mary Polak released the government’s ferry consultation report in March, after meetings in coastal communities to set out options for cutting costs. Polak said no specific service reductions would be made until this summer at the earliest, but denied that she was putting off bad news until after the May 14 election. After Macatee reported on the per-car subsidy for moneylosing ferry routes, BC Ferries cut some sailings on the TsawwassenDuke Point run, which were losing $50 per vehicle on average. Polak has emphasized that little-used ferry sailings cannot continue indefinitely, as overall ferry ridership has declined in recent years and BC Ferries has lost money even with increased subsidies.

FortisBC-sponsored People’s Choice Award spawns huge interest
Having your say with the People’s Choice For the first time this year, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association included a People’s Choice category in their Ovation Awards. “GVHBA launched the People’s Choice Award as a fun and interactive way to raise awareness for the Ovation Awards,” says Wendy McNeil, vicepresident of marketing and education for the GVHBA. “More than 3,200 people voted ... I was thrilled with the response as it is the first year for this category, but I know we’ll have even more people voting next year.” Readers were asked to vote for their favourite new or renovated project. Everyone who voted was included
in a prize draw for a gas barbecue, sponsored by FortisBC. The winners were Gary and Bernice Robinson. “We’re very happy to sponsor the GVHBA and Ovation Awards and have this opportunity to support builders of high-quality, energy-efficient homes,” says Dan Noel, regional energy solutions manager for FortisBC.
Excellence in residential construction
Best in the industry honoured at GVHBA Ovation Awards By Kerry Vital
The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association has honoured the best of the best in the Metro Vancouver residential construction industry at the Ovation Awards, handed out on April 20 in Vancouver. Now in their fourth year, the awards recognize builders, renovators and designers for their achievements. This year, the GVHBA added a new category to the awards: the People’s Choice Grand Ovation Award. Its first winner was Best Builders’ Sentinel House, located in West Vancouver. Best Builders also won awards for Best Addition/Conversion Renovation, Best Custom Home: $500,000 to $999,999 and Best New Kitchen: Under $100,000. Portrait Homes was the proud recipient of awards for Best Single Family Detached Home: Less than 2,000 square feet, Best Single Family Detached Home: 2,000 to 2,999 square feet, Best Marketing Innovation for Hampstead and the Grand Ovation Award for Single-Family Builder of the Year. “This is such a proud moment for us as our goal and greatest reward is to always give our customers the best possible home buying experience,” says Portrait principal Robert Grimm.
“
This is such a proud moment for us as our goal and greatest reward is to always give our customers the best possible homebuying experience,” says Portrait principal Robert Grimm.
“Without the dedication and commitment of our team, and trade partners, this honour would not be possible,” says Portrait principal Harry Grimm. “We accept this on behalf of them and would sincerely like to thank them for their continued passion and customer-driven focus.” The other Grand Ovation Awards winners were Intermind Design for RenoMark Renovator of the Year – Small Volume, My House Design/ Build Team for RenoMark Renovator of the Year – Large Volume, Tavan Developments for Custom Builder of

Demico Hannoun of the Surrey Eagles cycles the puck while being chased by Nanaimo Clippers opponent Austin Dick during the third period of Tuesday’s Western Canada Cup game at the Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo. The Eagles won 4-0.
Eagles back on track Surrey wins two straight at Western Canada Cup
by Nick Greenizan AFTEr opENiNg the tournament with a loss, the Surrey Eagles now find themselves in good shape at the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup, after two straight wins this week. The BC Hockey League champions sit in a three-way tie atop the round-robin standings with a 2-1 (won-lost) record. On Monday night at Nanaimo’s Frank Crane Arena, the Eagles edged the Steinbach Pistons 5-3 and Tuesday turned in their best effort of the tournament, shutting out the host Nanaimo Clippers 4-0. The wins guarantee the Eagles will advance from the five-team round-robin into the four-team playoff round of the tournament. “It’s not really going to change the way we play. We just need to do what we do and hopefully that’s good enough to win,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart after Tuesday’s victory. “In these short-term tournaments, you’ve got to get better every day, and we’ve done that so far.” Tuesday, Surrey was led by for-

“...you’ve got to get better every day, and we’ve done that so far.”
third period was dominated by the Pistons, despite each team scoring twice, including Cameron, who potted his second of the game. “We had a sluggish start and we were sitting back, waiting for things to happen,” said Pistons coach Paul Dyck. “We started playing with some urgency and desperation as the game went on… maybe if we had an extra five or 10 minutes, things would’ve went our way.” From the Eagles’ standpoint, they were just happy to escape with the victory, which kept the BCHL squad from dropping to 0-2 after losing to the Brooks Bandits Saturday afternoon. “Credit to Steinbach, they really put us on our heels,” Erhart said. “We turned way too many pucks over, and quite frankly, we just hung on for the win. It wasn’t pretty, that’s for sure.” After the Eagles and Terriers play tonight, Friday is an off day for all teams, before the top four clubs begin the playoff rounds Saturday.

Jays moved into a tie for sixth place in the B.C. Premier Baseball League Tuesday night, while the Whalley Chiefs were unable to end a losing streak that has now reached eight games. Both teams were playing at home Tuesday, and the Jays topped the Vancouver Cannons 9-2 while the Chiefs were blanked 10-0 by the Langley Blaze at Whalley Stadium. North Delta improved to 4-3 (won-loss), while the Chiefs fell to 1-9. The Jays scored four times in the bottom of the first inning to take a big lead, putting the game well out of reach with four more runs in the fourth frame. Clint Taylor hit a two-run single to open the scoring in the first inning, then added a third North Delta run on a base hit by Brad Antchak. A field error with the bases-loaded allowed three Blue Jays to score in the fourth inning. Bryan O’Hara and Taylor each had two hits to lead North Delta. O’Hara drove in three runs, while Taylor had a pair of RBIs (runs batted in). Luke Manuel got the win, striking out eight Vancouver batters without allowing a walk. The Cannons managed their two runs on six hits. At Whalley Stadium, the Blaze pounded Chiefs pitchers for 12 hits, and were up by 10 runs after just three innings of play. A double by Garrett Hasner was the only hit for the home team. Both the Blue Jays and the Chiefs are at home again tonight (Thursday). The 1-7 White Rock Tritons are the visitors at Mackie Park in North Delta, while the 7-4 Coquitlam Reds face the Chiefs at Whalley Stadium.

We’re going into the final facing one of the biggest challenges we’ve ever had in terms of our roster.” Surrey will face the North Shore Renegades in the Provincial Cup final. Both teams play in the Metro Women’s Soccer League, and split their two head-to-head meetings this past season. The Firefighters placed fifth at the Challenge Cup men’s national championship tournament last fall, also in Winnipeg, and have struggled to find their form since then. “Since the nationals, we’ve had injuries and absences every week,” said Foden. “It’s only been in the last two or three weeks we’ve been able to field a full squad.” The Firefighters will kickoff against West Van SC in their Provincial Cup final in Victoria, a team that “we’ve had our battles with in league play, and Provincial Cup games, in the past,” said Foden. “We know each other very well.” Guildford FC will face West Van SC in the under-21 (Doug Day) provincial final May 11. Guildford defeated the Metro-Ford Wolves 3-1 in last weekend’s semifinal round. The North Delta Rangers conceded just one goal in three games, living up to their number-one seed in the Masters (over-35) category. They edged PCOV 1-0 on penalty kicks in the semifinal round, and will play for the Deryl Hughes Cup and a provincial championship against Columbus FC in Victoria.

Suiting up for Canada Brenden Dillon to play at World Hockey Championships by Rick Kupchuk Surrey native Brenden Dillon
will be playing for Canada at the World Hockey Championships May 3-19 in Stockholm, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland. The Dallas Stars defenceman was among a group of 22 players named to the team Sunday afternoon by Hockey Canada. “We have a received a great response from the players that we have approached, and we are very pleased with the roster that we have assembled to date,” said national men’s team executive director Steve Yzerman earier this week. “We look forward to getting together as a team in Stockholm on May
1 and preparing for the world championship.” Dillon began the season with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League, playing at the minor league level in Cedar Park, Texas while the NHL was shut down due to a lockout. He played 37 games with Texas, scoring three times and adding 11 assists to go with 72 penalty minutes, before he was called up by the Dallas Stars when the NHL lockout was lifted in January. One of just four Stars to play all 48 games in the NHL regular season, the six-foot-three, 228-pound defenceman totaled three goals and eight points, while earning 65 minutes in
penalties. Signed as a free agent by the Dallas Stars following his final season of junior hockey with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western hockey League, Dillon played 10 games with the AHL’s Stars at the end of the 2010-11 season, then was with the team for the full 76-game season a year ago. He netted six goals and added 23 assists. Canada will begin the World Championship tournament Saturday in Stockholm, facing off against Denmark. They will play Switzerland on Sunday. Dillon is one of five players on the Canadian roster to have never played in an international event.

North Delta pair noticed by NHL scouts Portland’s Nic Petan, Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry in final Central Scouting rankings
by Rick Kupchuk
It’s a big honour,” said Tambellini. The six-foot-four centre, who is the younger brother of former Vancouver Canuck Jeff Tambellini, scored 36 goals in 52 regularseason games this season – including 14 in 16 games with Surrey. In the post-season, he has 10 goals and 18 points in 17 games. n Surrey Eagles
Two hockey players
from North Delta and a member of the Surrey Eagles are listed in the final rankings of the NHL’s (National Hockey League) Central Scouting. Nic Petan of the Portland Winterhawks, Edmonton Oil Kings goalie Tristan Jarry, and Adam Tambellini of the Eagles are listed, with all three either maintaining or improving on their midseason ranking. The NHL Entry Draft will take place Sunday, June 30 in New Jersey. Petan, 18, was ranked 32nd among North American skaters, up one position from the midseason report. The five-foot-nine forward tied for the Western Hockey League (WHL) scoring lead with teammate Brendan Leipsic. In 71 games played, Petan scored 46 goals and added a league-best 74 assists for 120 points. He easily surpassed his preseason target of 30 goals, and more than tripled his total of 14 scored in his rookie season last year. He’s continued to be among the league leaders in the postseason, netting nine goals and 22 points in 15 games, good for third place in the WHL. Jarry, also 18, played 27 games for the Oil Kings, topping the WHL with a 1.61 goals against average and a .936 save percentage. His six shutouts was just one shy of the league lead. In his second full season in Edmonton, Jarry was one-half of the league’s best goaltending tandem, partnering with Cloverdale’s Laurent Brossoit, who
goaltender Michael Santaguida has been nominated for the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s (CJHL) goalie of the year award. The 20-year-old Ontario native, who will play next year at the NCAA’s University of Vermont, is one of five nominees from across the country. In 42 regular-season appearances, Santaguida posted a
record of 29-10-2 (wonlost-overtime loss) with a goals-against average of 2.28 and a savepercentage of .933. He also had two shutouts. He’s been even better since the playoffs began, too, with a post-season won-loss record of 14-3, four shutouts and a save-percentage of .955. CJHL award winners will be announced in early May.

The power of perception Through visual artwork and writing, The Princess Myth examines the diversity of an often-stereotyped segment of the community – South Asian girls by Sheila Reynolds
“
Looking in a mirror, I would see a young, lively South Asian girl with hopes and aspirations like many other teenage girls. Every girl whether she is Chinese, Hindi, Japanese or Caucasian, we hope to succeed in life, no matter what our skin colour may be.” The words are those of Grade 9 student Shania Sanghera and mark the beginning of a short essay she wrote to be included in an upcoming exhibition at the Surrey Arts Centre.
Acceptance
By: Thanuji Rangana, Grade 10 Sullivan Heights Secondary transported to a new world, a world of different morals and traditions, Wanting acceptance, i cage myself in, powerless to speak out now lost, i search, What kind of world is this? decency, humility and modesty eroding away. i strain for freedom, But the claws of society so deep, i step back into the crowd. Who was i now? Values i honored, Were snatched away from me can i be the one i want to be? or was it too late? i look within my roots, Filled of simplicity, elegance and grace Will it be accepted? as masked eyes of society continue to judge. the opportunity, can i catch to break of these chains to stand on my two feet and know who i am once again.
At top is a portrait of student model Parminder Dhaliwal by photographer Cynthia Bhourji; centre right is a digital work by Thomas Nelles of model Vanessa Jaswal; and at right is Paramdeep Banghu, with a hand-painted face design by Michele Miguel, photographed by Joanne Wong.
The sentiment, however, embodies much of what The Princess Myth is all about: identity – particularly that of young South Asian women. Opening at the gallery on May 4, the show features 50 colour and black and white studio photos, 10 digital artworks and paintings and a selection of poetry and essays. All either feature or are written by South Asian girls aged 14 to 19 from Surrey, who were asked to express who they are and what their aspirations are, including whether their values differ from their nonSouth Asian peers. Shauntal Padda, a Grade 11 student at Sullivan Heights Secondary, was a model for some of the photos and has been involved in furthering the concept of the show. The visual work and writing, she says, is as different as each of the featured young women. “They show different aspects of the girls and our perspectives,” said Padda. “We thought this would be a nice way to show the diversity of the South Asian girls connecting through their culture, but also being born and
raised, pretty much, here.” The images range from contemporary to traditional to peacock-inspired face painting, while the written compositions address a variety of open-ended topics, including perception – of self, perceived
and desired. The Princess Myth, which has been in the works for 18 months and involved more than 1,000 hours of studio photography, was coordinated by Sullivan Heights Secondary teachers Marc Pelech and Mandeep Nijjar and included students from several Surrey high schools, as well as some from Emily Carr University and UBC. The show runs from May 4 to Aug. 12 at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave.
A portrait of Angelica Prasad (above), taken by Thomas Nelles, is one of 60 works featured in The Princess Myth at the Surrey Arts Centre beginning May 4, as is Marc Pelech’s photo of Priya Dhaliwal (left).
Inside a Jewelry Box By: Gurneet Saran, Grade 9 Sullivan Heights Secondary
Looking inside of a jewelry box You see all these beautiful and charming jewels But really on the outside it can be a plain and a blank box a box that no one would want to open and look inside they don’t know that inside they can discover so many new things So many new personalities every gem in that box is my personality people can judge me from the outside But no one dares to come look inside of me they think i’m hard as a rock But i’m soft as a gem i can shine bright like a diamond when you open me and i can preserve love and stay faithful like an emerald the vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold aren’t i something to admire? Because my shine is something like a mirror

EvEr wondErEd what you could do with your photographs besides look at them on the computer or share them on Facebook? Consider incorporating them into your artwork. On Thursday (May 2) at 7:30 p.m., as part of the Thursday Artist Talk speaker series at the Surrey Art Gallery, White Rock-based artist Karen Kroeker will use a PowerPoint presentation as well as actual items in various stages of completion to show how she transfers photographic images to fabric, then enhances the details, colours, and textures with machine and hand stitching. The result of this combination of traditional and digital media is a distinctive and personal artwork. Kroeker will also bring works that display other types of photographic transfer techniques, such as packing tape transfers. Admission to the talk is free. Kroeker is recently retired from the Surrey School District as a high school visual arts instructor. A lifelong learner, she remains motivated by taking art and photography courses, reading books on mixed media, and subscribing to magazines that inspire her to try new media and techniques. Her artworks have been featured in solo and group exhibitions. Kroeker is an active member of the Crescent Beach Photography Club. There will be time for questions and conversation during and following the talk, which concludes by 9 p.m. The event is presented by the Surrey Art Gallery Association in partnership with the Surrey Art Gallery, and with support from the Arts Council of Surrey.

The one-act operetta is notable as having inaugurated the brilliant partnership of W.S. Gilbert (libretto) and Sir Arthur Sullivan (composer) in 1875 – a teaming that ultimately led to such classics as HMS Pinafore, The Mikado and The Pirates of Penzance.

xcited chatter, along with the clicking of beads and clacking of blocks resonated through the gym at Heath Traditional Elementary School where more than 100 Grades 4-7 students from elementary schools across Delta recently took part in the Delta School District’s math challenge. “It’s fun,” said a girl from Gibson Elementary. “It’s math fun,” added a boy on her team with a giggle. For nearly two decades, the math challenge has taken place as a fun way to bring students together from across the district, while testing their problem-solving skills. Teams of four were presented with four questions, tackled one at a time for 12 minutes. Volunteer judges made up of teachers and parents provided the students with feedback between the questions. There were different questions for the Grade 4-5 students and Grade 6-7
More than 100 students took part in the heath traditional elementary School leg of the Delta School District math challenge. hundreds more took part in sessions at other schools. students. “What’s really fascinating and what I love about watching the kids, is sometimes they will go off in a direction that won’t help them find a solution and then one kid brings them back,” said Delta School District mathematics coordinator Donna Bletcher. “This is what happens when we give them the time – they solve the problem.”
SECTion C o-ordinaTor: Boaz Jo SEP h (PhonE 604-575-2744)
Students were given manipulatives to help them solve the problems – various coloured blocks, beads, and boards covered the tables. Every year, challenge needed to be broken into several time slots, two in North Delta and two in Ladner. Overall, almost 500 students took part in the math challenge.
