TWELVE BUSTED IN DRUG RAID AT NEWTON TRAILER PARK ▼ ‘THE COMMUNITY IS FED UP,’ SURREY RCMP SERGEANT SAYS KEVIN DIAKIW
Surrey RCMP descended on a Newton trailer park Wednesday morning in what’s being called a significant drug bust. At about 8:30 a.m., Mounties executed four drug search warrants and arrested a dozen people at different residences at the Town and Country Trailer Park, near 8205 King George Blvd., in what was described as a “high-risk location initiative.” continued on page 4

BEYOND THE BREAKING POINT ▶ A SURREY COUNCILLOR AND FORMER FIREFIGHTER PUSHES FOR BETTER FOLLOW-UP CARE FOR PTSD SUFFERERS KEVIN DIAKIW
His long career as a firefighter in North Surrey hit a rocky patch in 2005 when he responded to events so psychologically traumatic, they left lasting damage. As the truism goes, some things just can’t be unseen.

The firefighter started exhibiting early signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), becoming increasingly agitated and having trouble sleeping. His love of hockey and working out all but disappeared. His symptoms worsened dramatically when he answered a call involving a teen who was murdered. Emotionally pummeled by the incident, he still toughed it out for five more years. But the stress continued to build, call after call, until he had to take a medical leave in 2010. On his later return, he became a junior captain and worked to change the way his fellow firefighters dealt with stress, encouraging them to speak out.
And management, he said, had to tune into the problem. “The people leading us, they’re the ones that have to step up and show compassion,” he is quoted as saying. “Lead differently. (Your people) are your tools. And you’ve got to take care of your tools.” Prior to his return to work, the junior captain was treated by mental health specialists and was cleared. Unfortunately, there was no follow-up care to make sure the stressors hadn’t returned. On March 3 of this year, he took his own life. He was 53. continued on page 11

Highway 1 to have 6 lanes from Langley to Abbotsford ▼ INTERCHANGE UPGRADES ALSO PART OF B.C.’S NEWLY UNVEILED $2.5-BILLION ROADS PLAN JEFF NAGEL
Victoria is pledging to widen Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley to six lanes between Langley and Abbotsford as part of its newly unveiled $2.5-billion provincial transportation plan. The document, titled B.C. On The Move, focuses largely on rural transportation priorities – from highway upgrades for heavy trucks to regional airport improvements. Its pledge to begin design work for a six-lane Highway 1 to Abbotsford offers no timeline or other specifics, such as whether HOV lanes will extend further east. The plan also pledges 20 highway interchange and overpass improvements in the Lower Mainland, including a new Highway 1 interchange at Mountain Highway in North Vancouver to begin construction next year, and an upgrade to Mt. Lehman Road connecting Highway 1 to the Abbotsford Airport. The biggest future project in the Lower Mainland will be the replacement of the George Massey Tunnel with a new bridge, although there’s no price tag yet. The proposal promises to continue planning for the project ahead of an expected construction start in 2017. Nowhere in the document are tolls mentioned – either on the Massey bridge or elsewhere – but Transportation Minister Todd Stone has said the new bridge may well be tolled. If both the Massey and Pattullo replacements are tolled, Stone said the province will have to alter its policy to reform how tolls are charged in the region, or else every lower Fraser River crossing except one would be tolled. Several initiatives aim to help the trucking industry, including a pledge to build at least two new truck parking areas in the Lower Mainland and 10 new truck inspection pullouts Todd Stone across the province. The announcement Wednesday came the same week ballots went out in Metro Vancouver’s transit tax plebiscite. The plan reiterates the province’s promise to deliver onethird of the funding needed for major new rapid transit projects and to replace the Pattullo Bridge, subject to business case completion and the constraints of the provincial budget. Stone said the province is ready to deliver its share of the money for the transit plan proposed by the mayors. “Our one-third is on the table,” Stone said. “We’re waiting to see if the Lower Mainland’s residents approve the region’s share. That is why a ‘yes’ vote is so critical.” Other planks of the provincial transportation plan include: • Allowing cities to enable motorcycle parking in unused spaces near intersections. • Encouraging more use of natural gas buses. • Working with TransLink to improve SkyTrain accessibility with more elevators and escalators. The province will also consider allowing slow-moving vehicles to make short trips on low-volume roads as an alternative for people in smaller communities who don’t want to drive a car. Also announced Wednesday was $7 million for widened pathways and safety fencing for cyclists and walkers on the Stanley Park causeway.
Vaisakhi parade-goers enjoy food during last year’s event. To serve snacks on public streets, participants are required to obtain a permit from Fraser Health. FILE PHOTO
Home-cooked food for Vaisakhi parade needs health permit ▼ APPLICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED 10-14 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT IF SNACKS WILL BE SERVED ON PUBLIC PROPERTY LAUREN COLLINS
If you plan to make food for spectators at the Vaisakhi parade this year, you better get cooking on the paperwork. Private citizens and businesses wishing to serve homemade food to the public on commercial roadways along the parade route are required to fill out a temporary food premises permit application with Fraser Health. Erin Labbé, a spokeswoman for Fraser Health, said officials will be following the health authority’s enforcement protocols for the April 18 event. “Sometimes at festivals, depending on the ▶ “Sometimes at types of foods served and the duration of the festivals, depending event, enforcement on the types of foods can lead to immediate closures, based on risk,” served and the Labbé said. duration of the event, However, the food safety regulations don’t enforcement can apply to people serving lead to immediate home-cooked meals on their own property closures....” along the parade route. ERIN LABBE This means if people are
standing on their own front lawn serving their meals they are not at risk of being shut down. Lead organizer and spokesman for the parade, Moninder Singh said before Vaisakhi, Fraser Health authorities hand out information to houses along the parade route. Singh said they try to make the participants “as aware as possible” by talking about it at the Gurdwara Sahib Dasmesh Darbar. Singh that Fraser Health authorities go around the day of looking for permits, but he added they’ve been “more stringent” in the past few years. Event participant Sarbjit Sabharwal and his family have been serving food during the parade for more than a decade and he said they apply for their permit every year. As for how many people are aware of the need for the permit, he said he’s not too sure, but added “a fair amount do understand it.” On the Surrey Vaisakhi Parade website, there’s a link for “Helpful Hints for Food Preparation” (http://www.surreyvaisakhiparade.ca/files/helpful-hints.php). There’s information on hand washing and food storage, as well as how to properly sanitize working surfaces and clean cooking utensils, pots and pans. The temporary food premises permit application is free and available on the Surrey Vaisakhi Parade’s website under the “Food Premises Application” tab. The application must be submitted 10 to 14 days prior to the parade. This year’s Vaisakhi parade takes place on Saturday, April 18. It begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Gurdwara Sahib Dasmesh Darbar temple at 12665 85 Ave. and runs until about 4 p.m. Surrey’s parade is the second-largest outside of India and attracts upwards of 200,000 spectators.

Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the bust was part of an ongoing battle police have with such locations. He said police had been investigating the Newton trailer park for several weeks, gathering intelligence. Four or five people have been arrested and are facing charges of trafficking and possession for the purposes of trafficking. “It’s a significant disruption to the local drug-dealing trade,” Carr said. “We’re hoping it has a significant impact and demonstrates our commitment to the community that we’re working hard trying to disrupt and clean up this activity.” One neighbour living near the trailer park who watched the police at the scene said the trailer they were working on belonged to the “bossman,” a person he described as a tracksuit-wearing “Eminem”-style “gangsta”-wannabe. “He’s always pointing guns and s--t like that.” In all, 12 people were arrested during the morning raid, on charges ranging from possession of stolen property to possession of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. Enforcement will continue daily until police are satisfied the drug activity is under control, Carr said. “The community is fed up,” he said. “They’ve mandated us to target these high-risk locations and we’re not going anywhere,” he warned drug dealers. “We’re going to continue to seek you out and disrupt your business.”
High-risk sex offender arrested BLACK PRESS
A high-risk sex offender has been arrested in Surrey. The day after Darren Wheatley allegedly disappeared from his curfew at a Vancouver halfway house, Wheatley was found Tuesday, March 10 at Keys Housing and Health Solutions in North Surrey. People inside the centre reportedly recognized him and called police. It was there that he was arrested. Wheatley is a two-time federal offender currently serving a 10-year sentence for two counts of sexual assault, one count of sexual assault causing bodily harm and two counts of overcoming resistance by choking. Each of those counts stems from one of three separate attacks Wheatley committed on adult women in Ontario. ~With files from CTV News

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you drive out of your way to avoid paying bridge tolls? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com
Last week we asked: Have you ever been the recipient of a stranger’s kindness? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 69% No 31%
City hypocritical on tolls The “yes” campaign for the proposed transportation and transit improvement tax has been conducting a series of telephone town hall meetings to try and provide answers to voters. These meetings are not being conducted on a low budget. On Monday, the ninth in the series was held. Thousands of people are being phoned via robocall just before each meeting starts, and asked to listen in. Moderator Bill Good, a former radio host, is part of each meeting, and it’s highly unlikely his services come at a modest fee. An elaborate system has been set up to enable these town halls to be broadcast on YouTube as they are happening. On Monday, a maximum of seven people were watching as the meeting proceeded, according to my computer. Screeners select callers whom they allow to get through to the panel. While they are able to ask questions, they don’t always get answers and Good frequently interjects before the panelists, usually mayors or city councillors, can respond. I’ve had the chance to listen to two of them. The first one took place on Thursday involving Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore and Surrey Coun. Tom Gill. (Mayor Linda Hepner was out of the country). It was supposed to be Surrey-oriented, and indeed it was.
While the calls are screened, it doesn’t prevent criticism of TransLink, the proposed sales tax or other transportation-related issues from being aired. One issue which came up frequently was bridge tolls. While tolling is not mentioned on the ballot, the Mayors’ Council has said it would like to examine the issue of road pricing further, and potentially have some sort of user-pay system for roads or bridges in place within 10 years. Surrey and other South Fraser residents are getting hammered by Port Mann and Golden Ears bridge tolls. The few Surrey residents who have access to the 555 bus across the Port Mann have a free alternative, but the province, TransLink and Surrey council have failed them. There were promises of buses across the Port Mann, but only the 555 route from Langley has been established. It runs infrequently and has one Surrey stop, which was only instituted last September after significant pressure. Tolls are significant in the mayors’ transportation plan which we will be voting on. The plan calls for a tolled Pattullo Bridge to replace the existing 78-year-old span. The Pattullo is the main alternative to the Port Mann for Surrey residents. Indeed, provincial cabinet min-
isters like Kevin Falcon promised it would be a free alternative to the Port Mann, along with the South Fraser Perimeter Road. A tolled Pattullo means there will be three tolled Fraser River crossings. Premier Christy Clark has promised a new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. It too will be tolled. When it opens, there will be just one free bridge between the mouth of the Fraser River and the Mission Bridge – the Alex Fraser, which is already extremely busy. Gill said Surrey council opposes piecemeal tolling of bridges and wants all bridges in the region tolled at a modest level. His exact words: “Surrey council disagrees with any tolls on any bridge.” (Those who are interested can find the meeting on YouTube at: http://bit. ly/1B0PVlw) . Yet he and the entire council support the mayors’ plan and the tolled Pattullo. That sounds a tad hypocritical to me. During the town halls, it was promised that callers who don’t get through can leave messages, which will be returned. I left a message for Gill about the contradictory message on tolling, including my phone number. I have yet to hear back from him.

Do the math, bridge users ▼ MEASURES TO AVOID TOLLS DON’T ADD UP Re: “New Coquitlam lanes on Port Mann cause concerns for HOV users,” The Leader). Commuter Tiffany Shanks would do well to analyze the costs of her decision to take the route to Brunette and double back along the Lougheed to
save herself 75 cents in tolls. I estimate the extra travelling distance to be 10 kilometres. An average vehicle would most likely obtain 12 litres of fuel per 100 kms. Using these figures she would consume 1.2 litres multiplied by the price of 129.9 cents/ litre or $1.55 in fuel to save herself the 75 cents. Even at minimum wage the extra 20 minutes she wastes is worth around $3.40. In the course of a year she
will have added roughly 4,000 kms worth of wear and tear on her vehicle. Adding this all up, the loss of a 75-cent saving doesn’t seem like such a bad deal, all things considered. Perhaps even those travelling great distances to use the Pattullo Bridge to save the toll would do well to apply the same math calculations Rick Brook Surrey
▼ ETHNIC COMMUNITY MUST ADDRESS ITS ‘SPOILING’ OF BOYS Re: “RCMP name persons of interest in series of shootings,” (The Leader, March 17). It is patently obvious that not only does Newton have issues with crime, but the Indo-Canadian community has issues with its young men. The South Asian community has a history of concealing its affairs from the broader public as well as spoiling its boys, resulting in a sector of the population with entitlement and unaccountability attitudes. It is about time this ethnic community begins to address an ever-growing problem before it becomes even worse.

More fees a bad joke
▼ WHY DOESN’T SURREY GET SKYTRAIN?
Re: Proposed sales tax increase. If we vote yes, then we get to pay for SkyTrain expansion north of the Fraser River, while we get the old style streetcar lines. If we vote yes, we get to pay for construction of a new Pattullo Bridge, and when it’s complete, we get to pay a toll to use it. There are two main issues in play here. Surrey taxpayers have paid hundreds of millions of dollars to TransLink for a SkyTrain link that crosses the Fraser and ends abruptly just over the river. That was completed 30 years ago. Since then, what have we received for our millions in transit taxes? Secondly, the mayor of Surrey should follow the process established now, which sees her as a $50,000 advocate of the plebiscite process, supporting her vision of transit . I challenge her to go to the voters in Surrey and ask them to support paying a tax to provide SkyTrain to municipalities north of the Fraser while accepting a far less-expensive ground level version for us, as well as Langley and Delta. The second question to ask the people of Surrey is, do you want to not only pay to build a new Pattullo Bridge, but also pay a toll to use it after you have paid to build it? Steve Bodajla
▼ FIX TRANSLINK While crossing the bus lanes at Surrey Central recently, I noticed a bus with two ads for the “yes” side. I thought this is pretty unequal. They have access to unlimited funds while the “no” side, well, they can thank Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. The yes side has resorted to all manner of officials chipping in with contrived nominal benefits for the yes vote. They even tell us this will build the Pattullo Bridge. I believe it will be built regardless. The sore point with me
is TransLink. I want to see a wholesale change. They have been patting themselves on the back for years, telling us how great a job they are doing. They even scapegoated an electrician for a lengthy outage when it was clearly a systems and management fault. I absolutely see the need to fund transit. But there is no way I want to give them any money willingly unless they make significant management changes. Dave Bains, Surrey
▼ PAYING A LOT FOR LITTLE SERVICE Surrey has been the fastest-growing community in the Lower Mainland for four decades. We are also aware that almost a half-billion in Surrey tax dollars have been paid to TransLink in the past two decades, yet Surrey SkyTrain service has never been extended past King George Boulevard. We funded all new SkyTrain lines to other areas. Also, Surrey residents are now paying tolls on most bridges serving this community. Please, do not ask us to increase our taxes
for service that never develops. Please vote no. Larry Cummings
in the name of reducing congestion – when the reality is New Westminster won’t budge on its road system and the old bridge might collapse – is a bad joke.
▼ MORE MONEY, SAME OLD J. Prince, Surrey CRAPPY ROADS ▼ DON’T FEED
Here’s my question for Mayor Linda Hepner and her “yes” campaign cohorts. How in the heck is a new four-lane Pattullo Bridge supposed to ease traffic congestion? A new four-lane Pattullo will carry the same amount of traffic as the present four-lane bridge. It will still offload cars into the antiquated 1950s-era New Westminster road system and Surrey’s laughable King George/Bridgeview intersection. The only way it might ease congestion is by chasing traffic over to the free alternative Alex Fraser Bridge and dumping it into already congested North Delta. Now, if the new Pattullo was a six-lane bridge with road improvements on both sides of the Fraser to efficiently move traffic in a comprehensive plan, that would be worth paying tolls for. But to ask South Fraser commuters to pay another fee for the same old traffic system
THE BEARS If and when the Pattullo Bridge or the George Massey tunnel are replaced, the new crossings will both be tolled. That is, the 0.5-per-cent transportation tax will have no impact on financing these two projects, and won’t determine when, or if, they will be built. Mayor Linda Hepner says that LRT will be built, even if we vote “no” on this referendum. Another concern I have is if we vote “yes” for this increase in taxes, it will be like feeding a wild bear. There will be more and more tax referendums asking for more and more money, for a never-ending increase in taxes. Since TransLink is an unelected body accountable to no one but themselves, I am still looking for a reason to vote yes. So far, I have not found one. Fred Perry Surrey

High court to decide on the right to pot cookies users who say they cannot afford to buy commercially grown marijuana under Ottawa’s new system and that it denies them control over the strains they use. The court heard conflicting evidence last week from fire chiefs from Surrey and Fort McMurray on the severity of public safety risks from authorized home grows. Conroy will argue Ottawa has insufficient justification for the ban in closing arguments set for the end of April. A win at the Supreme Court of Canada would likely have major implications for the case on home growing, Tousaw said, and could finally force reforms that the government has resisted, despite 15 years of litigation.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. Our Standard of Proof in Criminal Matters
THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca
Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor
riving while intoxicated has been illegal in Canada since 1921, and the ‘modern’ version of this rule—the three distinct offences of impaired driving, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of over 80mg per 100mg of blood, and failing or refusing to comply with a demand to breath test for BAC without reasonable excuse—for roughly the past 40 years. In this time, impaired driving case law has grown to include almost every nuance of interpretation for every possible set of facts. Almost is, of course, an important qualifier. A recent case arising out of an incident that occurred in the early hours of April 26, 2014 in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut further comments upon the meaning of refusing to comply with a demand to breath test for BAC, and underscores the evidentiary burden on the police and crown prosecutors in investigating, charging, and proving impaired driving criminal offences. The following has been obtained from online news sources: The accused driver acknowledged having consumed three ounces of vodka and prune juice earlier in the evening. Afterwards, while driving straight down the road despite first his left and then his right indicator lights being activated and then veering into the middle of the road, he was stopped by two RCMP Constables. The Constables testified that when the accused got out of the vehicle at their request he appeared to sway and stumble, his eyes
were glazed, and his breath had a hint of alcohol. He said his turn signal indicators did not automatically turn off after a turn, that he had veered to avoid a rough patch, and that he stumbled because he was wearing flat rubber slippers on an icy ground. Under arrest and while waiting at the police station for breath testing, the accused began deep breathing exercises and squats. Twice when instructed to blow and keep a firm seal around the mouthpiece, he blew, but the device registered an insufficient sample. The court was told the accused appeared to blow most of the air out of the corner of his mouth, and seemed “cocky and arrogant,” even resuming his deep breathing and squats between attempts. Before the third attempt, the accused was warned that failing to provide a sufficient sample would result in charges. After the same result—no useful sample—his request to try again was denied and he was charged with impaired driving and failing to provide a breath sample. The trial judge acquitted the accused on both charges. Although noting that the accused had not made a “bona fide” attempt to provide a sample, the key fact was that he had asked for another chance and not been told explicitly that his third attempt would be his “last chance.” “Such a warning is required where an accused, as here, indicates a willingness to comply, but fails, intentionally or not, to successfully provide a sample. [But]… officers are [not] required to endlessly administer tests to non-compliant suspects. Three is clearly enough,” the judge ruled. With respect to the accused’s acknowledgment of his earlier alcohol consumption, the judge also ruled that the accused’s testimony left a reasonable doubt about whether he was impaired. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Canada’s high court will weigh the constitutional rights of medical marijuana users for the first time on Friday. At stake in the case before the Supreme Court of Canada is whether approved legal cannabis users can be restricted to just using dried marijuana – the only authorized product under the new system of regulated producers – and denied access to oil extracts and other options, such as pot brownies and cookies. It flows from the 2009 drug trafficking arrest of Owen Smith, a Victoria man who baked pot into various edibles for a cannabis buyers’ club. Medical pot patients have twice convinced lower courts in B.C. that it’s unconstitutional for them to be denied their medicine in different forms if they cannot or do not wish to smoke it. The B.C. Court of Appeal split 2-1 on the issue last August, agreeing federal regulations should simply state “marijuana” instead of “dried marijuana” but said actual changes to legislation should come from Parliament. Health Canada has so far refused to authorize alternative medical marijuana products. “Other means that don’t involve smoking are less problematic for health,” said Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy, calling the restriction inconsistent with the medical marijuana regulation’s goal of protecting health. He said alternative forms are more effective for some people. “Sick people trying to enhance their quality of life should not be criminalized for their choice of medicine,” said lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who represents Smith. He will argue the current law limiting authorized users to dried marijuana restricts the choice of treatment for serious illnesses and therefore violates the charter right to life, liberty and security of the person.
red herring and other jurisdictions have dealt with that issue. “To our immediate south in Washington, you can access all of these products, medically or recreationally, without fear of criminal sanction.” The one-day Supreme Court hearing on March 20 is just one legal front in a war between pot advocates and the federal government over how medical marijuana is controlled. The other key battleground is in Federal Court, where Conroy has sought to overturn the federal government’s ban on personal home growing by licensed users, which has continued under an injunction pending the outcome of the case. He is also making a constitutional argument on behalf of

Tousaw will urge the top court to simply exempt medical marijuana possession from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Medical pot could then still be regulated by other means by Ottawa, he said, but its users would be shielded from criminal prosecution. “You can keep your outdated, ineffective prohibition on recreational marijuana consumers and producers. But let’s take sick people off the front lines of this ridiculous war on this plant.” Police and federal authorities object because, unlike a bag of dried bud, it’s difficult to readily determine if personal possession limits are exceeded with products or extracts like brownies, cookies, oils and topical creams.

The man accused of killing a Delta man whose charred body was found dumped on Surrey’s Colebrook Road two years ago has been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Sarbjit Bains was arrested in January 2014 in connection to the death of 29-year-old Amritpal Saran a year earlier. Saran’s body was discovered Feb. 24, 2013 on a secluded section of Colebrook Road near 121 Street, south of Joe Brown Park. Bains, 33, is charged with second-degree murder and interference with a dead body. According to court records, he was ordered by a Surrey Provincial Court judge last week to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court after requesting no preliminary inquiry be held in the lower court. (A preliminary hearing is often held to determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial). continued on page 11

Vancouver man convicted of drugging, robbing Surrey man ▶ BRENDAN ROSHINSKY FOUND GUILTY OF THREE CHARGES SHEILA REYNOLDS
A Vancouver man accused of drugging and robbing a man from Surrey has been found guilty and was to be sentenced Wednesday (after The Leader’s press deadline). Brendan Thomas Roshinsky was 25 in late 2013 when he was arrested by Surrey RCMP, who had received a report from a man who said he’d met another man online. The victim claimed the man gave him a drink which knocked him out and then stole various items and cash from his home, as well as
taking his car. A toxicology exam showed levels of GHB – commonly referred to as the “date rape drug” – in the victim’s system. In B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster last week, Roshinsky was found guilty of administering a drug to commit an indictable offence, theft over $5,000 and theft of a motor vehicle. At the time of his arrest in 2013, police released his photo, suspecting he may have victimized others in a similar manner, but B.C. court records do not indicate any subsequent charges being laid against Roshinsky. His prior criminal record includes mainly theft-related charges. Check www.surreyleader.com for updates.
▶ IAFF LOBBYING THE PROVINCE from page 1
(Out of respect for the firefighter and his family, The Leader has chosen not to identify him). The tragedy struck home for a new Surrey city councillor, who is vowing to take up the cause of mental health and PTSD. Coun. Mike Starchuk, also a former firefighter, writes about the firefighter on his blog. “From the time he was recognized by (WorkSafeBC) for his PTSD… to his last days on earth, there weren’t any (WorkSafe) policies or mechanisms in place to follow up on (his) mental health challenges,” Starchuk says. Starchuk knows of what he speaks. He worked as a “Critical Incident Scene Management peer defuser” with Surrey Fire
Services, helping others with PTSD. The late firefighter was one of them; there are currently five others with the diagnosis he knows of in this province. He believes the real number could be as high as 25 firefighters in B.C. grappling with PTSD. (He couldn’t say exactly how many firefighters in Surrey have been diagnosed with the disorder). WorkSafeBC has made some progress in addressing the issue, Starchuk says, but more needs to be done. On July 1, 2012, WorkSafeBC created better criteria recognizing what first responders, such as firefighters, face in the field. However regular follow-up care needs to take place to help prevent what happened to the junior captain from happening to anyone else, Starchuk says.
He says he’s waiting to hear from the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) – the provincial body representing firefighters that is lobbying the province for improved care. Starchuk stands ready to use his position as city councillor to affect meaningful change for workers dealing with PTSD. And not just firefighters, he says. It could be police, paramedics or anyone suffering PTSD in another workplace. “We’re not asking for a whole lot,” Starchuk says, adding he wants someone to check in with the affected persons. “I just want the professionals to decide what level of follow-up that is.” Inaction, he says, is simply too costly.
▼ NEXT COURT APPEARANCE IS APRIL 2 from page 10
Bains’ former girlfriend, Evelina Urbaniak, was also charged in connection with the case, but pleaded guilty to her role and was sentenced last month. Urbaniak confessed to interfering with a dead body by helping dump Saran’s dead body be-
side Colebrook Road. She received a twoyear conditional sentence followed by three years probation. During her sentencing, the court heard Urbaniak, 37, had been in a troubled

and abusive relationship with Bains for about two years and their lives “revolved around drugs.” Saran was a friend of theirs. When Bains was arrested for Saran’s murder, he
was also charged with the August 2013 murders of two women – Karen Nabors and Jill Lyons – in New Westminster. A preliminary inquiry for those charges is scheduled to begin in June. Bains’ next court date to face the Surrey-related charges is April 2 in New Westminster.

Transit plan: Will we get what’s promised? ▶ UNCERTAINTY EXISTS ABOUT PROPOSED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS JEFF NAGEL
Referendum “no” campaign leader Jordan Bateman argues the cost
estimates of major projects like the proposed Broadway subway and Surrey light rail network aren’t up to date and are likely to run over budget. On top of that, there’s no guarantee yet of $1.5 billion in federal contributions that would be required to fully fund the mayors’ vision. That creates some
uncertainty about what transportation improvements will be built and when if voters approve the proposed Congestion Improvement Tax to add 0.5 per cent to the Provincial Sales Tax in Metro Vancouver. Bateman argues residents could say “yes” and then watch as the region is forced to shelve or delay some promised
improvements. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore says more buses and SeaBus service will be deployed in the first five years, while major rapid transit projects would be built in the back half of the 10-year plan, leaving plenty of time to secure federal and provincial contributions, and he is confident they will come. It’s normal, he said, that senior governments will wait to make contributions for major projects until there’s a completed business case. Bateman contends federal contributions to the plan may come at the cost of other funding expected by municipalities to build costly sewer treatment or water upgrades, effectively forcing local property taxes higher. Moore counters there’s a strong case for federal help, separate from other municipal projects. “This is the Pacific Gateway and we need
goods and people moving around this region.” Then there’s the province’s rewording of the referendum question to delete the mayors’ references to the “tunnelled” Broadway line and to replace “light rail” with “rapid transit” in Surrey. Some critics wonder if it may mean cut-and-cover Broadway construction and more costly SkyTrain technology in Surrey, significantly altering the project the City of Surrey has spearheaded. Moore said the shift to more generic wording shouldn’t alarm voters. “The province wanted to ensure all options were open,” he said. “They didn’t want to predetermine the technology before the
business case was done. Fair enough.” Reassurances have come also from Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who has repeatedly endorsed the mayors’ plan and its projects and urged a yes vote. Bateman also claims the plan cost of $7.5 billion has jumped by $200 million. That comes from a report released March 12 summarizing the plan’s assumed revenues and costs that shows the capital cost over 15 years is $7.7 billion and $6.9 billion over 10 years, in 2015 dollars. “They’re already $200 million over budget,” Bateman said, predicting higher estimates of the big projects will be released after the ref$4

erendum is over. “This is just the first of many increases.” The mayors’ council says all of the numbers are still accurate. Moore said the $7.5-billion cost is in inflated rather than 2015 dollars and over 10 years, which covers all of the projects except the final two years of construction of the light rail line from Surrey to Langley – it would be complete in the 12th year. Moore said the report, prepared by a joint working group of TransLink, the mayors and consultants KPMG, verifies earlier assumptions are accurate and the expected revenues will fully cover the operating and capital financing costs. The report does outline several uncertainties that may affect how the plan rolls out. They include partner government contributions, capital project costs and the assumed growth rate of revenue from the 0.5-per-cent sales tax. It also cautions that other factors, including demand, population growth, inflation and consumer preferences, “may not hold over time and will have an unknown impact on final project costs and offsetting revenue.” Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5-per-cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

Police, fire chiefs warn ‘no’ could risk lives ▶ EMERGENCY CALL TIMES, DRUNK DRIVING CITED AS SAFETY ISSUES AT STAKE IN REFERENDUM JEFF NAGEL
Police and fire chiefs in Metro Vancouver are backing a “yes” vote in the transit referendum, warning that worsening road congestion will otherwise increase emergency response times and either threaten lives or force up municipal spending to cope. Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu, New
Westminster Police Chief Const. Dave Jones and Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis told reporters last week that public safety is at stake in the referendum and their internal data shows the time spent to get to calls is already on the increase. “Our concern is about the risk of life and property damage in a gridlocked situation,”
said Garis, adding an extra minute to reach a call can mean tragedy. “If we have gridlock, we won’t be able to get there in time.” Chiefs said they expect reduced traffic congestion on roads if voters say “yes” to a 0.5-per-cent sales tax to fund transit and transportation improvements. Garis said cities in the Lower Mainland already use traffic light pre-emption technology to speed emergency vehicles through intersections, but there’s a limit to its value if
traffic lanes “If we are clogged can’t move ahead of the traffic, first rewe can’t get sponders. through He said it, we lengthneed more ening stations response and we times as need more congestion people to worsens service could those calls. force cities And that’s to build not within and staff our agenda Surrey Fire Chief more new or in our Len Garis fire halls budget.” than in an Garis said attempt to investment provide the same level in better transportaof service. tion to prevent worse

congestion is a far more efficient solution. Chu said road congestion has similar implications for policing budgets, increasing the pressure on property taxes. “Your options are to either have the same number of police officers but reduced levels of service – reduced response time – or to spend more money on more police officers.” He cited a one-minute increase over the last five years in average Vancouver police response times and said congestion is a significant factor. Chu also predicted public safety improvements if better transit is approved, ranging from better dispersal of sometimes violent late night crowds in downtown Vancouver to fewer drunk drivers on the roads. “We believe that improved transit in late night hours will reduce the motivation for people, after a night of drinking, to get behind the wheel of their car and drive while impaired.” Chu said partiers in Vancouver from outlying cities can have difficulty getting taxis to take them home
and suggested better transit could reduce risks for stranded young women in some situations. RCMP and ambulance paramedics weren’t present at the declaration of support for the yes campaign, but the chiefs there predicted all first responders would face similar challenges. The event followed the release earlier in the week of a new report by public health officials tying health benefits to transit availability as well as a Tuesday telephone town hall by environmentalist David Suzuki, who calls a yes vote the single biggest thing residents can do to fight climate change. No campaign head Jordan Bateman said he has “deep concerns” about police, fire and health officials becoming politicized through the campaign and suggested the chiefs are pleasing the mayors who control their budgets. “The yes side is specializing in the politics of fear,” Bateman said. “It’s the most ridiculous over-thetop fear mongering campaign, possibly in B.C. history.”

The man believed responsible for a fatal hit-andrun last week has been interviewed by police investigators and released. Surrey RCMP were alerted last Thursday (March 12) at 3:30 a.m. when a delivery driver found a badly injured man lying on Bridgeview Drive near 128 Street. Based on the evidence at the scene, it’s believed the man was struck from behind by a vehicle – a semi-trailer truck. The pedestrian victim had been pushing a shopping cart northbound in the 11400-block of Bridgeview Drive when he was hit. He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital but did not survive. He has since been identified as a 55-year-old man with no fixed address. Police have spoken with the 31-year-old truck driver, but as of Monday, had not recommended charges to Crown counsel. Once he gave his statement, he was released. Police are gathering evidence, sending DNA to the lab, reviewing video footage and having the semi-trailer truck examined for mechanical problems. All of that can take months to complete, police said in a release. In addition, investigators are looking to speak with the driver of a dark-coloured PT Cruiser that drove past the scene at about 3:30 a.m., just seconds after the crash. Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca

Trial for accused in South Surrey murder goes directly to top court ▶ VICTIM WAS GUNNED DOWN IN BRAZEN SHOOTING AT MORGAN CROSSING SHOPPING MALL IN 2013 SARAH MASSAH
The accused in a South Surrey shooting will skip preliminary hearings and be tried in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Brody Paterson’s first-degree murder trial in connection with the brazen killing of Craig Widdifield in 2013 will continue by way of direct indictment, resulting in a stay of proceedings at Surrey Provincial Court, Crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie confirmed Tuesday. Paterson’s next appearance is slated for March 26. MacKenzie would not disclose the reasons the choice was made to proceed by direct indictment, citing the ongoing court proceedings. But he acknowledged the step is not taken often. “The use of direct indictments by Crown in B.C. is becoming somewhat more frequent, but it does still remain a small proportion of
604-582-8000
the total files handled by the branch each year,” MacKenzie said. According to Criminal Justice Branch policy, the use of direct indictment is reserved for serious cases and allows the Crown, with the written consent of the attorney general’s office, to bring the case directly to Supreme Court without a preliminary inquiry – which is typically held to determine if there is enough evidence to take a case to trial. Proceeding by direct indictment will generally be appropriate when it is determined to be in the public interest, according to the policy. Factors considered include when there is significant danger of harm – either psychological or physical – to victims or witnesses, to protect the identity of an informant, logistical problems, courtroom security and when an expedited trial is necessary. Other high-profile
cases in Canada where direct indictment has been used include that of notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo. Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in what police described as a targeted shooting on April 24, 2013 in the 15700-block of Croydon Drive at approximately 7 p.m. Multiple 911 calls were made after shots rang out. Widdifield’s body was found in a
parking lot, near a toy store and coffee shop, by a walkway leading to the Steve Nash Sports Club and overhead condominiums. At the time, police told media that Widdifield was known to police “for this lifestyle.” Shortly after Widdifield’s death, RCMP recovered a Jeep Cherokee. At a news conference
with Surrey RCMP last October, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Asst. Supt. Dwayne McDonald said “valuable evidence” recovered from the vehicle helped lead to Paterson’s arrest. While police also indicated at the time that further arrests were imminent, no other charges have been filed in connection with Widdifield’s death.

Showcasing South Asian art and history ▶ FREE TALK AND BOOK LAUNCH AT SURREY ART GALLERY THIS WEEKEND BLACK PRESS
A large, striking mural of the Punjab filled with colourful images of daily life meets your eyes when you walk into the Surrey Arts Centre. But what do all the scenes mean? This Saturday (March 21) at 3 p.m. at the Surrey Art Gallery, UBC professor Anne Murphy gives a free public talk on Orijit Sen’s awe-inspiring mural, from Punjab, with Love. The mural Orjit Sen: from Punjab, with Love is a digital reproduction of Sen’s famous 75 metre long fibreglass and acrylic mural at the Moshe Safdie designed Virasat-e-Khalsa Museum in Anandpur Sahib, India. The Surrey Art Gallery is presenting a nine metre long digital print that represents the tableau of Sikh and Punjabi history done in a highly detailed miniature style. The mural blends history and the everyday with festivals, weddings, women washing clothes, shopping, cooking; men ploughing the fields,

Vancouver. Punjab is thus a concept, an idea, tied to place but also far larger.” Looking closely at Sen’s work, Murphy will provide a brief sense of the history of the idea of Punjab, to consider the acts of imagination that have created it – and will create it in the future. The talk will be followed by the launch of the book In the Wake of the Komagata Maru: Transpacific Migration, Race & Contemporary Art and website Disfiguring Identity: Art, Migration and Exile. The
publications document the gallery’s exhibition Ruptures in Arrival: Art in the Wake of the Komagata Maru and its corresponding symposium, co-presented with On Main Gallery Vancouver and Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Fine Arts Department. The two projects were presented to mark the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru episode last year.

Surrey student hoping to build web series
STUDENT CHRIS BARRETT
▶ SHELBY WILSON NEEDS PUBLIC SUPPORT TO ALLOW HER TO COMPLETE HER COMEDY, UNDER CONSTRUCTION LAUREN COLLINS
Newton resident and Capilano University student Shelby Wilson is looking to the community to help her complete her web series, Under Construction. Wilson is competing in Storyhive, a “community-powered funding program” from Telus and the top two finalists will receive a production grant of $50,000 to create a full season. She needs the public’s support because the winners are determined by the amount of votes via Storyhive and how well their pilot is marketed and publicized. Wilson’s team was already awarded $10,000 by the program to produce the pilot. Under Construction follows construction flagger Candice Myers as she works her way up to the job and respect she deserves. Inspiration for Under Construction came for Wilson because her dad owns a construction company. Justin MacGregor, a fellow student, became the writer and co-producer of Under Construction after Wilson approached him with her idea.

Surrey’s Shelby Wilson (right) and co-producer Justin MacGregor are hoping to win a contest that will allow them to make a full season of Under Construction, a comedy about a flagger in the construction industry. MacGregor said they’ll see how the competition goes since it’s all about engaging the community, but if they don’t win the $50,000 they might enter other contests to finish the series. Wilson said if they win the grant, she would like to find another funding source to try for a second season, but she added that would be in “a perfect world.” Voting for Under Construction is open until March 29 on www.storyhive.com/web-series and results will be released one week later.

Improving social skills through theatre â–ś DRAMA PROGRAM FOR TEENS OFFERED FOR SECOND TIME AT SURREY ARTS CENTRE LAUREN COLLINS
After taking her child, who has a mild form of autism – Asperger’s syndrome – to social skills groups, Christina Campbell was struck by what the participants were being taught and how similar it was to her own background in theatre. Campbell, the Surrey Arts Centre’s performing arts programming assistant, decided to develop Social Skills Through Drama because she believes acting can help children with behavioural challenges. Campbell says the skills needed for success on stage are the same required for social skills. She says with both, people have to identify what they’re feeling. Social Skills Through Drama is a program meant for teenagers “who have social difficulties with or without an accompanying diagnosis,� according to the program’s release. Campbell adds most people learn social skills through osmosis, but for people with Asperger’s syndrome, it’s more difficult. “It’s really a social skills handicap,� Campbell says. “They don’t learn it in the same way. They have to be taught.� Leslie Jones is the lead instructor with the program and with 30 years of professional acting and experiences with teaching and directing kids and young adults, she sees Social Skills Through
Drama as a positive experience. “If you can use the drama to help the kids, then it really does work.� Jones says her ability to use comedy allows her to reach out to kids who are shy and withdrawn. “I have a real sense of satisfaction when I notice a student com-
ing out of their shell,� Jones said. This is the second time the program is being offered in Surrey, and this time around a movement teacher is being added to the classes. Campbell says sometimes people who have social difficulties have “trouble being present in their bodies.�
Mammograms Save Lives
â–ś “I have a real sense of satisfaction when I notice a student coming out of their shell.â€? LESLIE JONES
“(The classes) are a great way for them to develop their own self expression.� The six-week program starts April 8 and runs Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre (137 Street and 88 Avenue). The six sessions cost $120 and the program is for ages 13 to 18.

Lord Tweedsmuir places seventh at the LEC RICK KUPCHUK
The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers made history again last week. The Cloverdale school placed seventh at the B.C. Boys Senior 4A High School Basketball Championship at the Langley Events Centre (LEC), winning two of four games. It was the best-ever showing by Lord Tweedsmuir at the highest level of competition. The Panthers were making their first trip to the provincial championships since 1953, and the school had never finished in the top eight. “I didn’t know that,” said head coach Raj Bagry. “But it means a lot. The boys have put in a lot of time, and the teachers have given a lot of support. It means a lot to everyone at the school.” Lord Tweedsmuir won their first game of the tournament by a 73-47 margin over the West Vancouver Highlanders, with Justin Mason scoring 20 points. Point guard Brett Norris added another 15, with K.J. Johnson and Anthony Kucharek netting 14 each. The Panthers fell 68-51 to the defending champion Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs Thursday. Top scorers were Iqwinder Gill with 13 points, Norris with 12 and Mason and Kucharek with 11 each. On Friday, Lord Tweedsmuir dropped a close 82-80 decision to the Oak Bay Bays. Norris and Mason had 19 points each, with Gill contributing 18. The Panthers met Semiahmoo on the final day of play, with Lord Tweedsmiur coming out on top 100-88 in overtime to clinch seventh place. “It was a fantastic tournament,” said
Bagry. “Just being there is a win for all teams. Playing in the LEC is great, with all the tournaments from single-A to 4A happening at the same time.” Norris was among the tournament award winners, as he was presented with the Most Inspirational Player award. For the Totems, Saturday’s loss was their third in a row to close out the tournament, but didn’t stop them from achieving their goal. “One of our goals heading into the season
was to make it to provincials, and we did that,” said head coach Ed Lefurgy. “And once we got here, our goal was to finish higher than our seed – we were seeded 10th and finished eighth, so we managed to do that, too, so it was a very successful season for us.” Semiahmoo opened with an 83-72 victory over the Cowichan Thunderbirds in Thursday. Patrick Dujmovic and Curtis Harvey scored 26 points each to lead the Totems to the win, with Elias Ellison netting 18 points

The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday. The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are. The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver. In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run
includes plug-in and conventional hybrids, as well as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, diesel-fuelled powertrains and highly efficient gasoline options. There’s no limit to the size of vehicle showcased, as they range from subcompacts to pickup trucks. The participants include the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, 2015 Kia Soul EV, 2015 Ford Focus 1.0-litre, 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the 2015 Chevy Volt. The purpose of the event is to inform consumers of these alternative options. These new vehicles are driven in real-world road conditions in order to fully test for fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

▼ KWANTLEN INSTRUCTOR RECOGNIZED FOR WORK IN FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY A Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) instructor was recognized with one of Canada’s highest honours for those who work in corrections and law enforcement. Dr. Evan Lopes received the Governor General’s Exemplary Service Medal, awarded to an individual whose regular work has brought the recipient into daily contact with a forensic population for at least 10 years, has 20 years of distinguished federal public service, and has carried out important service work in an industrious, efficient, and truly exemplary manner. “About 14 years ago, Corrections Canada (CSC) recruited me,” said Lopes, a registered clinical psychologist who specializes in forensic psychology. “I work with people who are in trouble with the law. When people are actively aggressive or threatening self-harm, it is not unusual for Dr. Evan Lopes a psychologist to be the front-line person.” Lopes served as chief of psychology at four federal correctional institutions for approximately eight years, and to this point, has continued his clinical work at the CSC’s psychiatric hospital. A lot of his work has also taken place in the community, where he delivers treatment programs for people who are on parole or probation. Currently, he works in a private practice, and is a fulltime faculty member for the psychology department at KPU, where he teaches in both Surrey and Langley.

Texting all students BLACK PRESS
Thousands of students across British Columbia have collectively saved more than $350,000 thanks to a provincewide initiative to open up access to post-secondary texts. Two years ago, BCcampus launched its Open Textbook Project which, at the time, had 20 students accessing free textbooks in science, health, arts and business. That number has grown to 2,244, and one of the project’s goals is to eventually provide 40 openly-licensed textbooks that have been created, reviewed and adopted by B.C. faculty. Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani, a recent addition to Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) Faculty of Arts, has revised two textbooks on research methods in psychology and social psychology for BCcampus. Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani He believes open textbooks are the way forward, for many. “There are tremendous benefits to be reaped from the adoption of open textbooks. For students, they bring greater access, convenience, cost-savings and course performance. For faculty, they permit the modification of the text to suit their course and pedagogical goals, including the em-
bedding of assignments. And for institutions they have been linked with higher program completion and student retention rates,” he said. Jhangiani was recently selected as one of three “Faculty Fellows” on the BCcampus Open Textbook team. While immense progress has been made to date, the KPU psychology instructor says there remain many disciplines and courses with no available open textbook alternatives. “Openness is a philosophy that is already transforming research and has the potential to do the same with textbooks and pedagogy. I am proud that B.C. is leading the world in this transformation and that KPU in turn is leading B.C.” In addition to his pioneering work around open textbooks, Jhangiani serves as the director of the Social and Political Cognition Lab at KPU, an associate editor of the journal Psychology Learning & Teaching, and the director of research, resources and special initiatives for the Early Career Psychologists Committee of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology. He is also the recipient of KPU’s Katalyst grant, which will go toward funding the research Jhangiani says he’s passionate about.
