interference with a minor under 15. Later that year, Delta Police became aware Wilcox, who is a Canadian citizen, was possibly in Delta and investigated several leads until finally arresting him in Surrey in late July 2012. In the meantime, Wilcox, a former Calgary resident, had also been featured on the TV show America’s Most Wanted.

Wilcox, 57, was found guilty of acts involving a quadriplegic, blind and mute boy.

He was initially charged with four child sex offences in the U.S. after being caught on video, but the jury could not reach a verdict on two other charges. The U.S. Department of Justice has reserved its right to re-try Wilcox on the two charges.

In appealing his convictions and extradition order, Wilcox argued he touched the victim for a therapeutic, not sexual purpose, and said he should not be surrendered to Arizona due to the state’s harsh sentencing regime.

Even if he were to be

surrendered to the U.S., he argued, he should receive a new trial.

In a written ruling last Wednesday (Feb. 4), three B.C. Court of Appeal judges dismissed Wilcox’s appeals.

“In my respectful opinion, there was ample evidence to support the inference that Mr. Wilcox acted with a ‘sexual purpose’,” wrote Justice Elizabeth Bennett, who also upheld the extradition order, with the support of two other justices.

The B.C. Appeal Court acknowledged the sentences Wilcox might have received in Canada are “a far cry” from what he faces in the U.S. “He faces anywhere from 26 years upwards to 108 years imprisonment. The sentence for these offences in Canada is a minimum of 45-days imprisonment and a maximum of ten years per count,” wrote Bennett.

While Wilcox argued the potentially lengthy U.S. sentence would “shock the conscience of the community,” the Appeal Court disagreed.

Surrey mayor ‘furious’ over sex offender’s release ▼ JAMES CONWAY, WHO IS CONSIDERED HIGH-RISK, HAS MOVED TO SURREY, ACCORDING TO CORRECTIONS BC KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey’s mayor is livid that a high-risk sex offender has been allowed to relocate to Surrey.

Corrections BC issued a warning on Monday (Feb. 9) that 40-year-old James Conway has been released and has moved to Surrey.

“Conway has a criminal history which includes sexual interference of (a) person under 16, sexual assault, arson damaging property, fail to comply with disposition and breach of recognizance,” Corrections BC said in a release.

“He has maintained a versatile pattern of sexual offending against female children in a predatory and opportunistic manner.”

Conway is described as 6’4”, weighing 276 pounds. He is Caucasian with brown hair and blue eyes.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner is outraged he’ll be coming to Surrey.

“I’m furious,” Hepner said, adding she found out on TV that Conway was here. Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge, Chief Supt. Bill Fordy, found out the same way, she said.

James Conway “That’s just not good enough,” Hepner said Tuesday. “Frankly, when you have highrisk attached to your name, I don’t know why you’re out in the first place.”

Hepner could not say which neighbourhood Conway is in, but she is trying to find out.

She said Surrey is not the place to relocate Conway, given the recent arrest and charge of a violent sex offender for the killing of a 17-year-old girl.

Raymond Lee Caissie was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Serena Vermeersch in September last year.

He had been released from prison in 2013 after serving a 22-year sentence.

Hepner said there’s something wrong with a system that lets high-risk offenders locate among the public.

She said that Conway has 27 conditions he has to abide by.

“If you need 27, there’s something systemically wrong,” she said. “Frankly, I don’t want him in Surrey.”

Accused in bomb plot changed plans after Boston attack: Witness ▼ UNDERCOVER RCMP OFFICER TESTIFIES AT TRIAL OF SURREY COUPLE JOHN NUTTALL AND AMANDA KORODY SHEILA REYNOLDS

Though alleged terrorist John Nuttall initially spoke of firing homemade rockets at the B.C. parliament buildings, his plan changed after the deadly Boston Marathon bombings in mid-April 2013, according to an undercover RCMP officer who befriended the Surrey man accused in a 2013 Canada Day terror plot.

The police operative, who can’t be identified, began his testimony this week at the trial of Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

He said Nuttall told him pressure-cooker bombs like those used in Boston (where three people were killed and about 280 injured) would be cheaper and simpler than the militant Islamic Hamas-style rockets he’d referred to prior.

In surveillance video shown in court, Nuttall talked about the Boston attack, saying “it worked for them, it can work for us.”

The officer told the 14-member jury he befriended Nuttall at a gas station he frequented on Scott Road and 96 Avenue in ▶ “We could have Surrey, presenting himself as an Arab businessman searching for the equivalent of his niece.

Nuttall was “ready to help,” the 9/11.” undercover agent testified, and JOHN NUTTALL the two spent about two hours together, with Nuttall showing

him where teens would hang out.

There was no mention in court as to why Nuttall and Korody became targets of police investigators.

The officer testified Nuttall almost immediately began sharing his extreme Islamic views and plans to perform jihad, quoting deceased terrorist leader Osama bin Laden on their first meeting. The officer said he warned Nuttall about his openness, reminding him they’d only just met.

Nuttall and Korody, recent converts to the Islam faith, are accused of plotting to set off bombs outside the Victoria legislature buildings on Canada Day 2013, when thousands of people would be there to celebrate the nation’s birthday. They are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, conspiring to commit murder and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. They have pleaded not guilty.

The RCMP witness told the jury he met with Nuttall, and later, Korody, several times between March and June 2013 and that he never had to encourage Nuttall to talk about his “plan.”

The officer said Nuttall talked about the men accused in the Boston bombings, as well as those accused in the Via Rail bomb plot in Ontario. He was upset, said the witness, because imams at local mosques were critical of the accused instead of supporting them.

Korody, the officer testified, wasn’t around much initially but became more involved as the plot proceeded.

In the video, Nuttall tells the officer he could get his wife to buy the pressure cookers and no one would suspect her as long as she removed her hijab (head covering). But while he likes the pressure-cooker bomb idea, Nuttall calls the Boston attack “small time.” continued on page 4

on transit expansion might force Metro Vancouver mayors to raise TransLink’s property tax instead.

TransLink already collects $305 million per year – $238 per average home assessed at $719,000 – from its dedicated property tax, which is charged on homes and businesses in addition to municipal and school property taxes.

The premier told reporters Friday the mayors could still raise that if voters reject the sales tax because her 2013 election promise to subject any new TransLink revenue source to a referendum didn’t apply to greater use of existing taxes.

“If they decide they do want to build transit without a yes vote in this referendum, mayors will have to fall back, I guess, on the existing funding mechanism that they

have,” Clark said at an event in Surrey.

“They have always had the ability to raise money for transit through increasing property taxes and I suppose that would be one of the options available to them if the referendum fails.”

Clark said she will personally vote yes as the owner of a home in Vancouver and added talk of defeat may be “hypothetical” because mayors are very confident of success.

Clark and successive transportation ministers have repeatedly said mayors could increase property taxes if they wished to avoid a referendum.

The no side has argued money could be saved from municipal and regional district budgets to fund transit expansion.

No campaign spokesman Jordan Bateman said the province and mayors should focus on fixing TransLink if the referendum is

defeated and be “open minded” to options other than just raising TransLink’s property tax.

“To go after a no vote and immediately raise a different tax to pay for their wish list would be exceedingly politically risky for them,” Bateman said.

“They’d be ignoring the wishes of a lot of people who want them to fix TransLink first.”

Mayors have consistently opposed any greater reliance on property tax by TransLink, saying a

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said Metro mayors have not discussed raising TransLink’s property tax as a fallback solution to raise the $250 million a year extra that the proposed sales tax would deliver.

He said the sales tax is the fairest tax to fund the mayors’ plan for transportation expansion, which he said has broad support.

Asked if the mayors have considered declaring a property tax hike to be the Plan B ahead of the referendum to force voters to decide which tax they want, Moore said no.

“That tactic is not something we’re interested in,” he said.

“We’re just focused on trying to be successful in what’s in front of us right now and then we won’t have to visit any other options.

We can move forward with implementing the plan.” continued on page 5

▼ BOMB TRIAL from page 3

“We could have the equivalent of 9/11,” he says of his own plan, noting it wouldn’t be “as spectacular” but could kill as many people and be “pure terrorism” that would “make people re-think sending troops overseas to kill Muslims.”

The trial began last Monday (Feb. 2), but was adjourned until Tuesday.

The undercover witness is the first to be called by the Crown, which contends Nuttall and Korody made and planted pressure-cooker bombs in two garden planters outside the parliament buildings, timed to go off at 10 a.m. and 10:15 a.m.

Police made sure they didn’t detonate (by providing fake plastic explosives) and Nuttall and Korody were arrested at a hotel in Abbotsford on July 1, 2013.

Though they called themselves “al-Qaeda Canada,” the Crown doesn’t believe the pair had support, or that any terrorist groups even knew about them.

The trial continues. It’s expected to last more than four months.

Woman who dumped body sentenced ▶ EVELINA URBANIAK ADMITTED SHE INTERFERED WITH BODY OF AMRITPAL SARAN IN 2013 SHEILA REYNOLDS

A 37-year-old woman received a two-year conditional sentence Friday for her role in disposing a dead body on Surrey’s Colebrook Road two years ago.

Evelina Urbaniak was charged early last year for her actions following the death of Amritpal Saran.

The 29-year-old man’s charred remains were found near 121 Street and Colebrook Road on Feb. 24, 2013.

Sarbjit Bains, 32, is charged with sec-

ond-degree murder and interference with a dead body in Saran’s death but has yet to face trial on the charges.

At her sentencing Feb. 6, the court heard Urbaniak confessed to her involvement in dumping the body almost immediately and early last month, pleaded guilty in Surrey Provincial Court to interference with a dead body. Her second charge was stayed.

Saran’s mother, sister and younger brother each submitted victim

impact statements prior to Urbaniak’s sentencing.

His mom said her son’s death was something no parent should ever have to endure, while his brother lamented the fact he’ll never see or laugh with Amritpal again.

“The family of Mr. Saran are clearly devastated…” said Judge Jennifer Oulton, who noted Urbaniak expressed sincere remorse.

The court heard Urbaniak was in and out of foster care as a child, before turning to the sex trade when she was older and abusing alcohol and cocaine.

Since her arrest, she has been living in a

facility run by VisonQuest Recovery Society and has attended alcohol and narcotics rehabilitation programs.

She has no prior criminal record.

Details of Urbaniak’s involvement in Saran’s death are not being reported by The Leader as Bains’ case has not gone to trial.

For the first six months of Urbaniak’s two-year conditional sentence, she is under house arrest and only allowed to leave home to attend work, perform community service or go to the doctor or counselling.

For the last eighteen months, she is subject to a curfew between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. and

▶ RAISING PROPERTY TAX ‘POLITICAL SUICIDE’ from page 4

Moore said higher TransLink property taxes would hammer low-income seniors who have seen property values rise sharply over time.

The property tax is TransLink’s third largest revenue source after transit fares, which generate $518 million a year, and the 17-cent-a-litre fuel tax, which raises $338 million.

TransLink’s private board of directors have the power to collect three per cent extra in property tax each year without the mayors’ consent.

Typically, that’s meant increases of around one per cent for existing residents, while the remaining two per cent has come from new construction.

Anything more than the three per cent cap requires a vote of the mayors’ council.

One reason mayors have been reluctant to raise TransLink’s property tax further is because of the wide range of assessments around the region.

Based on assessment data provided by Landcor Data Corp., the average assessed house in Maple Ridge, at $507,000, pays just $168 in property tax to TransLink, while that tax bill doubles to $322 for a $1.04-million average assessed house in Richmond and triples to $522 for the average $1.57-million house in Vancouver.

In Surrey, the average house is assessed at $697,000 and pays

▶ “(Property tax hike) is not something we’re interested in.”

GREG MOORE

$231 in TransLink tax, while the average assessed value of a condo is $224,000 and pays $74.

If the entire $250 million plan was fund-

ed instead from more property tax, it would cost the average Metro home an additional $195 a year, but, again, that figure would vary widely depending on the assessment. (The rate for TransLink’s tax is currently $0.3315 per $1,000 assessed value.)

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said he doubts enough mayors would be willing to vote for a property tax increase for it to

pass, although some mayors from cities with lower valuations might support it, creating deep divisions.

“You’d rip the region apart,” he said.

Price said voting in a steep property tax hike would be tantamount to “political suicide” for mayors, who he predicts would be more likely to turn the entire problem of governing and funding TransLink over to the province.

must complete 200 hours of community service work. She must also have no contact with Bains or with the Saran family, must not consume alcohol or drugs and is banned from owning weapons.

She’ll also be on probation for three years following the completion of her sentence.

Bains is also charged in the August 2013 deaths of Jill Lyons and Karen Nabors in New Westminster.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Thursday Februar y 12 2015

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Did you do something special with your family Monday, Feb. 9 – on Family Day? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: How do you think the public will vote on the 0.5% congestion improvement tax?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 20% No 72% Don’t know 8%

Crime stays top of mind The 2014 crime statistics posted by Surrey RCMP give a pretty good indication of why citizens had crime on their minds during the municipal election in November.

There are few categories where crime numbers, as measured by police statistics, are down.

Many of the crimes that affect ordinary people the most are up, some sharply.

Property crime is up 24 per cent, for example. Those are the crimes that are reported. As was stated many times during the campaign, many property crimes are not reported – police rarely respond in person, and in some cases the amount of property stolen or damaged isn’t large.

Nonetheless, it is a crime.

Thefts of motor vehicles were up by 54 per cent. After years of declines in car thefts, they have rocketed up again – despite the many programs designed to catch auto thieves, particularly the bait car program. Clearly, there are some car thieves out there who have figured out how to beat the system.

Fraud was up by 58 per cent.

Considering the many phone solicitation campaigns underway at almost any time, it isn’t surprising that some of those phone calls are made by fraudsters. And that is just one form of fraud. Fraud is an indication of some people being desperate for money and is also an indica-

tion of how some people prefer to perpetrate sophisticated crimes, rather than work. When good-paying jobs are not easy to come by, some people turn to such crimes.

While police are happy that the murder rate was down after 2013’s record 25 murders, 17 murders in Surrey in 2014 is nothing to brag about. It was still the fourth-highest rate in the city’s history. Some of that is related to growth and some to the city’s large population of young people, but it is still a disturbing statistic.

Considering the nature of some of the murders, notably that of Serena Vermeersch, there is much work to be done to really get the murder rate down and quickly apprehend suspects after a murder takes place.

One disturbing statistic is that violent crime in Cloverdale and Port Kells is up by 10 per cent. These areas traditionally have been fairly quiet for police, but rampant growth around Cloverdale has undoubtedly led to more crime. The Clayton area has grown dramatically, but has minimal bus service, no recreation facilities and a lot of young people who are bored. That can lead to increased crime. There were two bank robberies in one mall in Clayton several weeks ago and there have been many

reported incidents of muggings, petty thefts and vandalism.

With all the concerns over crime that were expressed in the election, those who voted expressed confidence in the Surrey First candidates to deal with the issue. While there has been a lot of talk about transit and new taxes, there has not been many changes to the way the city deals with public safety issues.

Surrey RCMP is going to get some additional members, but dealing with crime requires more than just additional police resources.

One hint as to how challenging it is to deal with crime may have been given by Surrey’s two NDP MPs, who blamed the federal Conservative government for not dealing with it. After all, it is an election year.

The Conservatives, in fact, have tried to bring in stiffer sentences for repeat offenders, only to meet resistance from other parties and have had several initiatives that were passed by Parliament overthrown in court.

Most Surrey citizens are law-abiding people who don’t want to have to deal with crime on a regular basis. They need help from police, the courts and government at all levels.

Beware the ‘Plan Bs’ ▼ 0.5-PER-CENT TRANSIT TAX IS THE CHEAPEST OPTION There are many pros and cons to the vote on the additional tax to pay for transit funding.

Taxpayers must note that presently they hold the ball on this tax. If the tax passes, they have to remember, everyone pays, including the tourists that come to visit the Lower Mainland.

Also the 0.5-per-cent tax being incorporated into the seven-per-cent retail tax is remitted to the provincial government in Victoria. All Lower Mainland municipalities have no access to this tax, so the money is safe and cannot be spent foolishly – such as on extravagant wages.

If the tax does not pass, there are many “Plan Bs” available. One of the Plan Bs could be a substantial increase

in property taxes.

One way or another, the taxpayers are going to foot the bill for transit funding, because the B.C. Liberal government is not going to ever increase income taxes. Looking at the vote option in comparison to many Plan Bs, the most logical and cheapest option to the taxpayers would be to vote yes for the additional five per cent.

▼ SURREY DESERVES BETTER THAN AN AT-GRADE TRANSIT SYSTEM I read the letter published in The Leader on Feb. 5 by Patrick Truelove and I would like to correct one statement Mr. Truelove makes so that Surrey residents aren’t misled into thinking the plebiscite will bring more SkyTrain lines into Surrey.

Surrey does not get SkyTrain extension as he indicates. Surrey gets a street car system down the middle of King George, 104 Avenue and Fraser Highway. This is an at-grade system unlike SkyTrain which is above ground. SkyTrain being above ground doesn’t interfere with road traffic but street car lines on the roadway as proposed by the plebiscite will.

Further, SkyTrain doesn’t stop at all the red traffic lights but street cars must.

I’m sorry Mr. Truelove, I’m voting no. Surrey deserves better than a street car system. New Westminster, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond have SkyTrain; why is Surrey different? I would be inclined to vote yes if SkyTrain extensions were planned in Surrey, but that’s not the proposal.

Five charged in rash of vehicle thefts in Surrey ▶ POLICE SAY KEYS HAD BEEN LEFT IN CARS, MAKING FOR EASY OPPORTUNITY

“We’re seeing a definite increase in this type of theft.

What happens is that thieves will smash the window and are stealing the cars with valet-type or fob-style keys, which aren’t required to be

in the ignition.”

On Feb. 4, IMPACT and the Surrey RCMP arrested three suspects, who are now facing a total of 10 combined charges.

They are: Andrew Marlow, 33, of Surrey; Christopher Hor-

key, 30 of Surrey; and Karim Vellani, 32, of North Vancouver.

The following day, two more suspects were arrested: Shawn David Scriver, 36, of Langley and Raelene Elise Ferguson, 39, of Surrey.

KEVIN DIAKIW

A pair of police investigations has corralled five individuals believed responsible for a number of car thefts in Surrey.

The Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) and the Surrey RCMP launched parallel investigations last month into a rash of car thefts.

Owners of the cars were making the thefts too easy, police say.

“All the stolen vehicles had keys of some type left in them,” said IMPACT’s Insp.

Peter Jadis.

JENNIFER HOWE, AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2007.

A crosswalk with pedestrian-controlled flashing lights has been installed on a risky stretch of road shared

by Surrey and Langley Township.

The City of Surrey website said the crosswalk was installed at the intersection of 196 Street and 72 Avenue on Jan. 30 as a temporary measure while “full traffic signal and pedestrian indications are constructed” at the site.

The intersection improvements will include a left-turn bay.

Residents in both communities have been campaigning for safety improvements to 72 Avenue, which

Before that, there were incidents where a young boy was hit while rollerblading and a 19-year-old woman was struck in a hit-andrun crash and left lying in a ditch.

Late last year, Township council unanimously approved a set of traffic lights at the border intersection, approving $125,000 to install signals. That is half the cost of the traffic lights, with Surrey paying the rest.

Surrey is also rebuilding the four blocks of 72 Avenue leading up to the Langley border, adding landscaped medians to separate eastbound and westbound traffic, as well as boulevards between the travel lanes and sidewalks, adding

bicycle lanes, restricting left turns at some intersections, improving street lighting and other improvements.

It should all be completed by August.

Improvements to 72 Avenue on the Langley side are under consideration

by Township council, which added $1.6 million in road upgrades between 196 and 200 Streets to a list of possible 2015 construction projects.

If the improvements make the final cut following a review of all proposed projects, most of 72 Avenue between 196 and 200 Streets would be widened to four lanes, traffic lights would go in at the 198B intersection where the elderly pedestrian was killed last September, and an open ditch at the same location would be filled in.

TransLink’s move to dispatch more taxis to carry elderly and disabled users of the HandyDart system has helped clear a huge backlog of demand for the custom transit service.

Last May, TransLink earmarked an extra $1 million for taxi rides to relieve pressure on HandyDart after months of criticism from clients who said the oversubscribed service left them under virtual house arrest.

The number of denied trip requests had run well over 3,000 a month up until April, but plunged to less than 100 in the summer and fall.

“More people with disabilities are able to get to where they need to go,” said Merrilee Ashworth, TransLink manager of business development and contract services.

She said the 98-percent reduction in denials as of November from a year earlier was in part due to other efficiency improvements besides the extra taxi funding.

“We believe our recent actions will continue benefits into 2015, and we will not see a return to the number of denials we experienced earlier in the year,” Ashworth said.

(formerly the B.C. Coalition of Persons with Disabilities), supports the strategy of using taxis.

“We hope that they will continue to put that money into the taxi service,” she said.

Dyson said people who don’t want to take taxis don’t have to – HandyDart can still serve them – but taxis provide an option.

Even with an extra 30,000 rides offered by taxi this year, more

The increased use of taxis has been fought by unionized HandyDart drivers as well as some passengers who argue taxi drivers are not as well trained to meet their needs.

“I am strongly, strongly opposed to it,” said Burnaby HandyDart user Elizabeth McKellar, adding there are too many “horror stories” about poorly trained or inconsiderate cab drivers.

TransLink put some of the extra money into additional training for taxi drivers.

Its latest quarterly report credits that for a reduction in taxi service complaints, although they remain far higher than the complaint levels for HandyDart.

The report noted demand for HandyDart in 2014 was down compared to 2013, but said that may increase as former riders become aware that it’s now easier to get service.

The HandyDart Riders Alliance’ also argues most of the drop in denials is because of the introduction of looser trip search parameters in the spring, not from the boost in taxi service.

Eric Doherty said that makes it “extremely problematic” to compare old and new trip denial rates.

Ashworth said TransLink has not yet decided whether the additional funding for taxi rides will continue in 2015.

New roles, focus for Metro region politicians ▶ CLIMATE ACTION COMMITTEE CREATED AS PART OF SHUFFLE JEFF NAGEL

A restructuring of the Metro Vancouver board’s committee structure will mean a higher profile and shifting duties for some regional politicians this year.

Board chair Greg Moore of Port Coquitlam, who was acclaimed as chair last month, unveiled the changes Tuesday.

North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton takes over the regional planning committee from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

The committee, which stickhandles major land-use decisions and the Metro growth strategy, gets newly elected New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote as vice-chair.

Corrigan takes over a new climate action committee that will handle air quality, environmental planning and climate change issues, including greenhouse gas reduction efforts and climate change adaptation.

Killing Machines

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

“A

merica’s Top Killing Machine,” an article in the January 12, 2015 edition of The Atlantic magazine references data from the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC) showing that the top five causes of death in America today are heart disease, followed by cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and stroke. Number five is ‘accidental’ death from all causes, and drilling down into these is, obviously, the focus.

The last two comparable years for which alleged data is available still show that car crash fatalities in the United States are higher than firearm fatalities at 33,561 and 32,251 respectively.

The historical perspective of the Atlantic magazine article begins at the turn of the 20th century when infectious diseases were responsible for almost half of US deaths in large cities. The technologies that killed were in the work place where “before modern labour laws… thousands of American workers died in textile mills and other factories. Heavy machinery was hazardous…but chemicals and asbestos killed many workers, too.” But car ownership was on the rise and, very soon, and then “for the better part of a century, the machine most likely to kill an American …[was] the automobile.”

Today the US population is about 320 million. By some reports, there is approximately that number of firearms owned by American civilians. US motor vehicle ownership— according to World Bank statistics—is on a per person basis significantly less, at 786 per 1,000

people or roughly 250 million. Accordingly, while there are more motor vehicles than guns, there are more motor vehicle deaths than firearm related deaths. Colliding motor vehicles are still definitely a big social problem.

Fortunately, car crash fatalities have been declining for a number of years – historically, a long overdue trend. Important contributing factors include improvements in road design, significant improvements in safety technologies in vehicles, tougher impaired driving laws, and tougher licensing requirements resulting from graduated licensing programmes.

Changing attitudes, especially among young people, about ‘car culture’ has meant less driving. Higher gas prices have helped. The Atlantic magazine article notes, parenthetically, that: “A $2 drop in gasoline is linked to some 9,000 additional road fatalities per year in the United States, NPR recently reported.”

Firearms data, according Atlantic magazine, is “a more complicated picture.” The article suggests that available firearms data is suspect and possibly inaccurate and that firearms may pose a greater threat to our well-being as North Americans than the mishandled automobile.

The common sense challenge to this vision of conspiracy is that everyone knows of someone – relative, friend, neighbour, co-worker etc.

– who has been involved in a motor vehicle accident. How many of us have a personal connection to someone who has been shot?

An international perspective is also useful in focusing reformist energy. One interpretation of the Wikipedia article Traffic Related Deaths Internationally, (also a guide as to where not to spend your next vacation), http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_ death_rate, would suggest that the recent (variable by country, 2010 to 2013) worldwide annual death rate for traffic accidents is estimated at 1,240,000 people.

Surrey Mounties have arrested and charged who they believe is a serial bank robber who hit four local banks in January.

On Jan. 17, a Whalley bank was robbed, then on Jan. 21 a Guildford bank, then two days later, another in Whalley and the next day in Cloverdale a bank was hit.

Police believe Surrey’s Darrin Andrew Pelland, 30, was responsible for all four robberies.

Police say he was carrying a concealed weapon when he was arrested on Jan. 31.

“Our officers were

able to link all four bank robberies based on video surveillance footage and witnesses descriptions and were able to focus in on a single suspect,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP. “With the rapid succession of the offences, this arrest undoubtedly prevented more robberies from being committed.”

Pelland has been in custody since his arrest and while additional charges are expected, he has been charged with 13 offences so far.

They include five counts of robbery, four counts of disguise with intent, possession contrary to an order, possession of a prohibited firearm and carrying a loaded firearm with ammunition.

Witnesses can call 604-599-0502.

A 31-year-old man is facing eight charges following an incident last month that was initially reported as a shooting.

Police responded to reports of a man with a gun threatening a woman in the early afternoon of Jan. 26 at a house near 128 Street and 100 Avenue.

When officers arrived, they found a 17-year-old woman with a serious head wound who said she’d been shot. An airsoft replica gun was found at the scene and police later determined the victim had been assaulted, not shot.

The woman was treated in hospital and released the same afternoon.

Daniel Burgess has since been charged with five counts of assault with a weapon, one of assault causing bodily harm, one of using an imitation firearm and one of break and enter.

Surrey RCMP say there were several people in the home at the time of the incident. Burgess initially fled on foot but was arrested nearby. Police believe Burgess and the teen knew one another.

Hospitals jammed but authorities see progress ▶ BOARD CHAIR SAYS WINTER FLU SURGE A BLIP AS REGION’S REFORMS KICK IN JEFF NAGEL

Hospitals in Fraser Health remain severely congested despite the launch of a new strategy last year to improve patient flow, according to the health authority’s latest statistics.

Less than 39 per cent of the region’s emergency patients last year were admitted to hospital within 10 hours – far below a provincial target of 55 per cent – suggesting hallway medicine remains rampant in emergency rooms (ERs).

The numbers were worst at Langley and Delta hospitals (both at 29 per cent), Peace Arch (31 per cent), Mission Memorial (32 per cent), and Surrey Memorial and Chilliwack General (both at 32 per cent).

That means more than two-thirds of ER patients in all those hospitals typically waited longer than 10 hours for a bed.

Other key capacity indicators in the health region’s newly released monthly report card show hospitals across the region are also struggling to meet targets to limit the average length of patient stay, the number of patients staying more than 30 days and the proportion of patients who could instead be treated at home or in other settings instead

of hospital.

Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty said ERs are jammed right now from the annual winter surge, mainly due to large numbers of patients arriving sick from the flu.

“You don’t build an airport for the Christmas rush and you don’t build a hospital for the flu season,” Matty said in an interview.

“The airlines get to say, ‘We’re sold out.’ But we can’t turn patients away.”

Matty said she’s confident Fraser Health will soon see good results from its new strategic and operational plan, which was completed last year after a review ordered

by Health Minister Terry Lake.

“We’ve turned the ship in my view,” she said. “We’re on a very positive road to try to shift services to the community.”

The plan aims to find new ways to decongest hospitals by providing more services at home or in community settings, and also by preventative medicine to limit chronic disease rates as the population ages.

As more capacity comes on line outside hospitals, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital who don’t need to be occupying a bed, clogging the flow of incoming patients.

Matty said there’s a “huge” effort underway to work to ensure more residents across the region have a family doctor where they can

get much treatment.

The very fact congestion statistics and various other performance measures are now being made public in monthly report cards for the entire region and each hospital is also a significant improvement, she added.

“We’ve become far more transparent and accountable,” Matty said. “The report cards help us focus. We’ve never had a reporting mechanism like this.”

(Report cards can be viewed at http:// www.fraserhealth.ca/ about_us/transparency/reportcard/) Several indicators show significant improvement, including rates of infection by resistant bacteria like C. difficile and MRSA. Fraser Health is also on track to end the year almost right on its $3.3-billion budget at the end of March, perhaps with a very thin surplus.

Opponents of a new sales tax to expand transit are accusing the provincial government of failing to set any spending limits in the referendum campaign.

“No” campaigner Jordan Bateman claims the “yes” side is poised to spend $4 million in taxpayers’ money without restriction and he’s now urging the auditor general for local government to intervene.

“You have a premier, minister, a ministry, TransLink, the mayors and the NDP – they’re all in the yes camp and they’re all willing turn a blind eye to this effort to use taxpayers’ money to buy votes to get another tax,” Bateman said. “It’s ba-

get that isn’t otherwise spent on meetings, mayors’ pay and consultants.

“For any other public money required we would probably be looking to TransLink,” Moore said, adding TransLink has an annual communications budget for consultation and advertising initiatives such as route changes.

“They’ve indicated it would come out of that budget not an operational budget.”

He defended the decision to spend public money promoting the tax and the plan to expand service.

Polling indicates residents don’t have enough knowledge of the transit expansion plan and what it will do for each part of the region, he said.

“It’s a requirement of someone – and I think it’s the mayors of this region – to get out there and let people know what’s in this plan and what they’re being asked to pay for,” Moore said.

He said Bateman is “grasping at straws” in trying to block public spending.

The municipal auditor-general examines cities’ spending after the fact and has no authority to intervene in a referendum campaign, Moore said.

A separate pro-yes campaign is expected to be funded by various groups that have joined forces under the banner of the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition.

Moore said the mayors’ council is also checking to see if it can “piggy back” off local cities to save money – potentially by including information in utility bill notices.

Bateman said all the yes funding should come from the coalition members instead of local government.

“Surely if you have this many big business and big union groups involved they can raise money to fund the yes side of this campaign.”

Sapperton the first residential tower in the Brewery District Eat, drink and be merry in the nine-acre, transit-oriented Brewery District, a master-planned, mixed-use community by Wesgroup. Located in the buzzing neighborhood of Sapperton in New Westminster, this rapidly transforming neighborhood is gaining attention for its cool vibe and convenience.

The dynamic district offers a vibrant mix of shops, cafes, grocery stores, restaurants and office buildings.

Soon, there will be high rises and new residents.

The Sapperton is the first of four

residential towers in the works, launching this month. The building will offer panoramic views of the Fraser River and North Shore mountains and will attract homeowners into an exciting new area. The Sapperton marks the first tower in the area’s evolution from an industrial workspace to a residential village.

The Skytrain is just a few steps from The Sapperton, making downtown Vancouver easily accessible by transit, and there’s no toll bridge if you choose to drive to the city instead.

Medical offices, Save on Foods,

banks, Shippers Drug Mart, Starbucks and Brown’s Social House give options to suit any personality. There’s also a yoga studio, among other shops and services.

Everything you need is right at your doorstep in this walk-to-everything community. With The Sapperton, buyers are living a forward-thinking lifestyle in a secure environment, surrounded by both a rich history and an exciting future. The Sapperton will begin selling 115 homes on 15 storeys.

Now in its sixth year, the Ovation Awards, recognizing excellence in the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ new-home construction, renovation and design, is excited to announce a 77% increase in entries over last year.

This increase reflects the high level of award-winning quality homes built and renovated in Metro Vancouver by GVHBA members.

CEO, Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, Bob de Wit: “Our GVHBA builder/renovator members work with homeowners across Metro Vancouver, representing a wide variety of design and architectural styles. From modest kitchen renovations to stunning whole-home transformations, and from familyoriented townhouse communities to luxurious custom-built estate homes, the Ovation Awards highlight the best projects GVHBA members have built, renovated, designed and marketed in Metro Vancouver. The GVHBA Ovation Awards People’s Choice Award is your opportunity to vote for your favorite new or renovated home. We look forward to your input!”

Nominees for the People’s Choice GVHBA Ovation Awards 2015: The Mayfair in Vancouver: A unique and challenging home to build as the entire structure needed to be re-engineered and built within the existing structure to meet seismic and building code requirements.

New West Classic: A Craftsmanstyled home, designed and built to retain the character of the older transitional homes in a historic neighborhood.

Silver Lining: Transformation of this renovated home is nothing short of incredible - turning a 60’s-bungalow into modern ‘west-coast’ beauty. The original house and pool footprint was maintained (as were some elements to front exterior,) with renovation done without disruption to greenbelt/ravine.

South Granville Estate: Located in a desirable neighborhood of tradition-

al homes, the unique exterior detailing is both attractive and welcoming, while its unique interior beauty is evident with a traditional dining room, living-room at the front of the home transitioning to a more contemporary great room.

The Grove: The most impressive element of The Grove is its grand simplicity. Bordered by a swath of trees, this contemporary residence perfectly captures the essence of West Coast living while gracefully coexisting with its secluded surroundings.

West Vancouver Horizon: This beautiful home sits in the hills of West Vancouver with a breathtaking view of the Strait of Georgia. The West Coast contemporary exterior houses a surprisingly warm transitional interior, built to suit a growing family of four.

Brixton: Brixton is a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes located in Surrey’s Panorama neighborhood. The community’s eyecatching colonial architecture features quality designer selected materials.

Jacobsen: Jacobsen is a collection of 65 modern sophisticated townhomes in South Surrey that feel just like living in a single family home only steps away from a variety of shops and services at Morgan Crossing.

Basement Beauty: This exquisite wine room is located below grade (under front porch) and is encased in eight-inch concrete walls. A natural cold-cellar, features include slate flooring, barrel table and bar-stool seating, plus extra-large sink (for making wine) and separated areas for bottling, tasting, and storing wines. Housing over 500 bottles, it accommodates all bottle sizes and shapes.

Virginia Crescent: A large kitchen for entertaining, a custom showpiece fireplace, along with a spacious pool table area in the living room. The overall layout of the main floor achieved all the functionality requirements, as well as a fantastic high-end open concept.

Judith Guichon to begin the spring legislature session, the speech announced the formation of a rural advisory committee to “provide independent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportunities, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.”

Premier Christy Clark said the government has important tasks ahead, such as starting construction on the $8 billion Site C hydroelectric dam and revamping the education system to fill an anticipated skills gap.

“We’re sticking to the plan, and we’ve been successful with that plan,” Clark told reporters. “I know it doesn’t make great headlines in the newspapers, but I don’t think we want to change so we can help you get a news story.”

The speech referred to five new mines opening since 2011, but avoided mention of northeast coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the operation of metal mines in B.C. NDP leader John Horgan questioned Clark’s intention to keep cutting “red tape,” an obsession of the B.C. Liberals since 2001.

“They cut red tape at Mount Polley,” Horgan said of gaps in inspection that predated the collapse of the mine’s tailings dam last summer.

As the government continues to await investment decisions for liquefied natural gas facilities, the speech notes that LNG “could create 100,000 jobs and the revenues to eliminate our debt,” adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas industry that already employs 13,000 people.

Much of the speech touts earlier achievements, including the carbon tax on fuels and a settlement with B.C. public school teachers after a bitter strike last year.

The government confirmed it is about to table a third straight balanced budget on Feb. 17, and hinted at new spending aimed at expanding the economy.

The government also plans to launch a new “medal of good citizenship.”

Silver lining to coming in second ▶ SURREY BOXER NARROWLY MISSES GOLD AT CANADIAN YOUTH BOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS EVAN SEAL

Walking into the Port Kells Boxing Club, located in the basement of the Port Kells Community Centre, feels like stepping back in time. The tiny, fluorescent-lit concrete room is littered with yellowing posters of past champions and boxing

fight card posters of local and world championship matches.

Years of sweat hang thickly in the air.

Punching bags dangle from the ceiling amid speed bags and skipping ropes, and a wall-sized mirror commands one side of the room. A boxing ring beaten down by

many epic battles is tucked away in the corner.

Sixteen-year-old Frank Hurt Secondary student Eric Basran sits alone on a small wooden bench in the gym putting on hand wrap – long strips of cotton material used to protect a fighter’s hands beneath his gloves.

He’s soon up shadow boxing in front of the mirror concentrating on his reflection, avoiding solid body shots and

straight right-hand punches.

It’s his routine in a sport built on routine and Basran is realizing his practice is paying off.

He returned last week from Quebec City sporting a silver medal from the Canadian Youth Boxing Championships, held Jan. 20-24.

“He has natural athleticism and boxing ability,” said Al Harper, Basran’s coach.

“He’s got that boxing sense and is able to

know what other fighters are going to do before they do it.”

Fighting as a member of Team BC and representing the Queensborough Boxing Club, Basran, fighting in the 52-kilogram weight category, defeated a fighter from Quebec in his opening match.

This moved him into the gold medal final against another Quebec fighter, Thomas Blumfield, who had nearly 80 fights under his belt and a recent

Late goal leaves Hawks with a split ▼ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM WINS, LOSES AGAINST ROCKETS RICK KUPCHUK

Poised to climb into third place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League, the Valley West Hawks came up four minutes short.

A late goal by the Okanagan Rockets gave the visitors a 6-5 win over the Hawks Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre, and split of their weekend series. Valley West won 4-1 Saturday at the Langley Sportsplex, but remained in fifth place and in the middle of a four-team pack fighting for home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

“It was a pretty evenly played weekend by both teams,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “Although we would have preferred the sweep, a split is probably what could have been expected.”

The Hawks are 18-10-6 (won-lost-tied) and have 42 points with six games remaining. They trail the third-place Rockets by two points, are one back of the Vancouver Chiefs, and one up on the Vancouver Canadians.

Valley West will play twice against the Chiefs next weekend, facing off in Coquitlam Saturday evening and again Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

“Another big weekend is on the horizon for us,” said Leung. “We again have the opportunity to jump up in the standings.”

Saturday against Okanagan, the Rockets scored the first goal of the weekend, a powerplay tally that allowed them to take a 1-0 lead into the dressing room after one period.

But Valley West dominated the final 40 minutes.

Ben Evanish of White Rock and South Surrey’s Daniel Watson put the home team ahead 2-1 after two periods, then Langley forward Christian Bosa added a pair of insurance goals in the final frame.

James Malm of Langley assisted on all four goals.

“Saturday was a physical affair, and a home game away from home,” said Leung. “The Sportsplex rink has a pretty short neutral zone, which is an advantage is given that we practice there once a week.”

Okanagan got a quick start again in Sunday’s contest, taking a 3-1 lead into the first intermission.

Daniel Chifan of Cloverdale opened the scoring, but three goals in an eight-minute span had the Rockets in front after 20 minutes.

Okanagan had a 5-2 lead by the midway point of the game, with Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Logan Webber netting the second Valley West goal.

White Rock’s Matt Barberis, who assisted on the first two Valley West scores, started a rally with 10 minutes to go in the second period. His goal cut the difference to 5-3 after two periods.

Evanish tallied with 11 minutes left in the game, then Surrey’s Jeffrey Stewart tied the score with just five minutes left, with Barberis earning his third assist of the afternoon.

Okanagan escaped with the win when Marcus Mitchell notched the winning goal with just under four minutes to go.

“The slightly larger ice surface gave the Rockets a bit more space to let their forwards get to top speed,” said Leung. “We could have played better on Sunday, limited our turnovers, but at the end of the day their best players made big league plays that helped them edge us out.”

PINK in the RINK NIGHT!

Kwantlen was in North Vancouver last Thursday to play the Capilano Blues looking for a win to move to within a game of a postseason position.

But it was the home side looking more determined to get the win, jumping out to a 25-9 lead just 10 minutes into the game.

The Blues led for the entire contest, and led 67-39 at three-quarter time.

Point guard Brendan Bailey, ranked second among PACWEST scorers, had a game-high 28 points for the Eagles.

Matt Cooley was the only other Kwantlen player scoring in double digits, netting 14 points to go with six rebounds. Cooley, a graduate of Delview Secondary in North Delta, has a leaguebest 8.87 rebounds per game.

With just seven players in the lineup Saturday in Squamish, the Eagles dropped a 63-49 decision to the Quest Kermodes.

Cooley played all 40 minutes, scoring 19 points and grabbing 19 rebounds. Trevor Schulz contributed 11 points to the Eagles total.

“Saturday was how I want my guys to play in the future,” said Eagles head coach Vladimir Nikic.

“We dominated the boards and handled their penetration well, my guys did a great job both ends of the floor and kept the score down.”

KPU will visit the 1-15 Columbia Bible College Bearcats tomorrow (Friday) in Abbotsford.

Eagles look to finish season on a high note Unger scored the lone Eagles’ goal – but the Express opened up a three-goal lead with two unanswered markers in the second frame.

Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but, thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Having driven both the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel and this RAM, I find the gearing and attitude of the RAM much more dynamic and actually inspiring to drive. In real world driving situations, this big luxurious truck can actually return fuel economy of 10L/100km without babying the engine.

There is even an off-road ready RAM, just shown in Detroit, due to arrive called the Rebel.

Looks To be honest, taking two cars and mashing them into one is beyond confusion. The length of the TLX is shorter than both the older cars but the wheelbase is longer than the TLX and the same as the old TL. Acura has stuck with the shield grille design that has received much criticism over the years. However, it toned down the blunt and edgy look of the grille and incorporated tasty looking duel LED headlamps, yet another signature of the brand.

The front and rear overhangs are nice and tight making this car look

compact and athletic. Wheel sizes range from 17”to 18” depending on the trim level. All models come with a rear view camera and higher trim levels are fitted with a cross-traffic monitoring system that alerts the driver of incoming traffic when backing up.

Inside Acura and Honda are moving towards a two-screen centre console for radio and entertainment information and navigation and backup camera capabilities. This looks first rate but it can take a while to master the quirks of the system. The rest of the cabin is covered in soft-touch mate-

Acura has replaced two cars in its fleet with just one – gone are the TLX and TL, replaced by the TLX. Offered with a wide array of engine and transmission choices, the price starts at $34,990 and runs up to $49,642. The TLX is based on the Honda Accord and comes with a base 4-cylinder engine with FWD and all-wheel steering. This model also comes with an all-new 8-speed duel clutch automatic. Then the V6 equipped cars can be ordered with FWD and all wheel steering or AWD. This is where it gets confusing; the AWD cars come with a different, 9-speed automatic.

rials, first rate fit and finish and a sporty design. Cars equipped with the optional 9-speed transmission get a different shift controller. This is a unique take on something that has been working perfectly well for decades. The rear of the TLX isn’t the biggest in the midsize class; cars like the VW Passat dwarf the legroom in the TLX. The base model comes with faux leather and heated front seats.

A tech package is optional and includes a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, features that come standard on the Tech package V6 model.

Drive The base engine is a 2.4L direct injection 4-cylinder with 206hp and all the power goes to the front wheels though an all-new 8-speed duel clutch automatic. In addition FWD models of both the base 4-cylinder and V6 equipped cars gets Acura’s Precision All Wheel Steering (PAWS) system as standard equipment. This actually turns the rear wheels, ever so slightly, for slow speed maneuvering or high-speed stability. The V6 is a 290hp 3.5L unit with an optional AWD system that replaces the PAWS system.

This model also gets ta different 9-speed ZF automatic that is shared other automakers like Chrysler and Range Rover. This is the car I test drove and it radically changes the character of the TLX compared to the old TL AWD. The transmission wants to shift to the highest gear possible to conserve fuel but the downside is the more sedate driving experience. The more powerful 3.7L found in the TL is no longer offered. The TLX feels solid and capable but very different from the cars it replaces.

Don’t expect more of the same; this is a whole new product.

Verdict Credit must go to Acura for making a new, totally different kind of car. The TLX is nothing like the cars it replaces, which is good and bad. There is certainly a lot packed into all trim levels and at a price that is attractive but sometimes change has one yearning for the good old days.

The 4-cylinder cars provide a gateway into the premium experience but buyers might want to try the beautiful V6 equipped Honda Accord as a reference; it might actually be a better buy.

The V6 cars, especially the AWD model is not nearly as responsive as the old car. It doesn’t feel as solid or as performance oriented as the last car and the 9-speed automatic can feel very busy at times. The biggest problem will be telling customers what this car is. There are so many different engine, transmission and packages that it could confuse the customer. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 209hp or 3.5L V6 with 290hp Fill-up: 11.2L/7.5L/100km (city/ highway V6 AWD) Sticker price: $34,990-$49,642

REAL ESTATE UPDATE

The Boom Continues

T

he recent interest rate cut is great news for the Real Estate market in the Fraser Valley and most of B.C. Interest rates are at a record low, which has directly translated into a very hot Real Estate market. “Things only seem to be heating up,” says Rene Sandhu of WestCor Group, “there is still a shortage of detached houses, which makes this a great time for homeowners to capitalize.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) processed 10% more sales in January 2015 compared to the same time last year.

Buyer and Seller confidence is also a driving force behind the highly active, stable market in the Fraser Valley.

Some of the main factors behind the strong Real Estate market are low oil prices, which is giving B.C.

an influx of people moving here as the economic conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan are precarious, and the low Canadian Dollar, which is attractive to foreign investors from China, India and the U.S. The Fraser Valley has seen a rapid increase in foreign investment in this new year and the price wars in Vancouver have made the Fraser Valley an affordable, stable place for foreign investment.

The leadership of the progressive thinking Mayors in the Fraser Valley has boosted the economic outlook for the foreseeable future. Mayor Linda Hepner with her Surrey First team, which includes seasoned veterans like Councilor Tom Gill, in Surrey, and Mayor Lois Jackson in Delta are leading the way for years of sustained growth in the Fraser Valley.

Tips for Buyers and Sellers: BUYERS • Work with a Real Estate Agent • Get pre-approved from your lender • Ask your agent for recent sales in preferred areas • Have a home inspection done • Trust your instinct • Trust your Realtor SELLERS • Hire a qualified Realtor • De-clutter • Don’t try listing on your own • Give up some of your free time to let your Realtor do their job • Keep pets out of sight • Leave the house during showings • Ask your Realtor for regular, constructive updates • Have a post-sale game plan
