He thought he was hearing fireworks or maybe a TV show.

Harjinder Dhaliwal was shocked to learn someone was peppering his home with bullets.

Dhaliwal said in an interview with The Leader he was in the basement of his home with his son on Monday when shots rang out at about 11:40 a.m.

Upstairs in the 12700-block 67B Avenue home were Dhaliwal’s dad and his brother’s son.

“Everybody is okay,” he said.

He said it was a half-day at school and said there was a fair amount of activity in the neighbourhood at the time.

“I see one kid, 15 to 17 years old, he was looking at my house, like he knows my son, maybe they are friends?” Dhaliwal said.

He then heard 15 to 20 shots.

At first, he thought it was fireworks.

“Then my dad, he was upstairs, then he tells me, ‘somebody shoot,’ “ Dhaliwal said.

He couldn’t believe someone would shoot at his home, so Dhaliwal went outside to check.

“There were 12 to 15 (bullet) holes I see,” Dhaliwal said.

“We think we are lucky nobody was hurt.”

He said he’s never seen anything like this and told The Leader there are no drugs or illegal activity in his home.

“It’s very scary,” he said. “Everybody afraid, you know?”

Police say they arrived to find several gun shell casings. Schools in the area were briefly locked down.

The investigation continues.

Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or solvecrime.ca

The trial of a South Surrey mother charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of her eight-yearold daughter nearly one year ago is still nowhere near ready to be scheduled, the woman’s lawyer confirmed.

“Not at this point, for sure,” Craig Sicotte said last Wednesday at Surrey Provincial Court.

Lisa Deanne Batstone has been in custody at a psychiatric hospital since her daughter Teagan’s body was discovTeagan Batstone ered in the back of a car in a cul-de-sac just south of Crescent Road last Dec. 10.

Following a court appearance a week later, at which a “fitness assessment” was ordered for Batstone, Sicotte told reporters that his client’s mental health was “a very serious concern” that cast doubt on whether a trial could proceed.

In January, however, Batstone was deemed fit to stand trial.

Sicotte said last week that he continues to pore over “literally thousands of pages” of disclosure associated with the case, which he described as “so tragic.”

Teagan Batstone was a Grade 3 student at Rosemary Heights Elementary in South Surrey at the time of her death.

At a celebration of her life held one week later, she was remembered as “a hugger” with an “infectious excitement.”

“She lit up our hearts with her smile, her love, her hugs,” White Rock Baptist Church Pastor Ellis André told attendees.

“Not too many people hug me, but I got a hug from Teagan.”

Sicotte said his client’s family continues to be supportive of Batstone.

At the same time, Teagan’s paternal Lisa Batstone family in Ontario has established a national non-profit advocacy organization in response to the youngster’s death.

According to the website for Teagan’s Voice, it is focused on “driving policy and procedural change across federal and provincial boundaries to prevent violence against children.”

Batstone’s next court appearance is set for Dec. 15.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader We d n e s d ay D e ce m b e r 9 2 0 1 5

In the crosshairs: Gun control debate Reports that the U.S. has logged more than 350 mass shootings this year are shocking. And, according to details shared by those who have tracked the violence, there have been five such incidents on more than a single day.

From our relatively quiet homes in Surrey – even in light of the spate of gunfire since spring, related to a low-level drug-trade conflict – it’s difficult to fathom one such senseless act, never mind more in one year than there are days.

It’s no surprise that the gun-control debate is heating up south of the border. Last Wednesday’s killing of 14 people at a San Bernardino, Calif. social services agency was reportedly the deadliest in the U.S. since that at Sandy Hook Elementary three years ago, when 26 children and adults were gunned down.

When the issue of gun control is raised in Canada, opponents to such regulations rightly argue the laws make no difference to those with a criminal mind and a determination to do lethal damage.

Regardless of the country, province or state, and regardless of whether there are laws and how strict or lax they may be, the reality is the problem lies more with the people who possess firearms than the firearms themselves.

It can be argued that there is a necessity for such artillery, that completely removing guns from the equation is not the solution.

Those tasked with ensuring our safety need them. They deal with the worst people in society and must have the ability to use lethal force not only to protect us, but to protect themselves in our

RAESIDE

service, too.

Fortunately, the reality is the majority of those in law enforcement – in Canada, at least – can go their entire career without ever pulling the trigger, aside from target practice.

Those who hunt for food also argue their right and need to possess arms, although that is often hotly debated itself.

These points are only a few of the numerous sides to the argument. Time and time again, the debate appears to come to an impasse, when weighing whether one’s legal right to possess guns means that they should.

It’s a question that needs serious consideration by lawmakers not only in the U.S., but worldwide, before mass shootings become so commonplace that they no longer make headlines.

Business not as usual on B.C. farmland BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the latest update to the B.C. Liberal government’s “strategic growth plan” for farm and food products.

After reporting a record $12.3 billion in total agriculture and agri-food sales in B.C. for 2014, the latest plan sets a new goal of increasing it to $15 billion by 2020.

It’s a mostly a status quo plan, continuing current marketing efforts and encouraging higher-value production of a wider range of products.

The ministry intends to hire its first expert in food and beverage production. It’s a reflection of the fact that fully 70 per cent of that $12.3 billion comes from food and beverage processing. This continues the government’s push to improve economic viability of farms by allowing more food product manufacturing and sales on Agricultural Land Reserve property.

Letnick says another key strategy is to improve access to irrigation. B.C. has 20,000 farm operations, a number that’s holding steady even as the aver-

age age of farmers increases.

Opposition MLAs formed their own agriculture committee to tour the province over the past year, chaired by NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham and independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington. Their report speaks to some of the issues not discussed by the government.

One of those is foreign purchase of farmland, a matter subject to regulation in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba but not B.C. Properties have also been purchased to grow hay for export to Asia, and Huntington says she continues to hear of costly farmland in Delta and Surrey being bought at prices long-established farm families can’t afford.

We’ve seen a British food and drug conglomerate buy up B.C. Interior farms to plant trees for carbon offsets, a project that was wound down after local protests. Popham and Huntington are calling for a systematic inventory of foreign purchases, to determine if regulation is needed here as climate change shifts growing patterns.

Popham argues that with California enduring years of drought, B.C. can’t continue to depend on imports for more than half its food.

“We have countries that are actively seeking food producing land, because their countries are having difficulties producing under drought conditions,” Popham said. “So before we know it, our farmland could be bought up by other countries that are actively and smartly trying to ensure their own food security.”

Neither Letnick nor the opposition MLAs could produce results from the government’s decision to split the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones, with more latitude for non-farm activities outside the southwest and Okanagan.

But we’re starting to see signs of the new system of regional Agricultural Land Commission panels working with local governments.

a deal with the ALC in July to allow development of farmland near the Aldergrove border crossing and Langley airport.

The agreement says there is a need for a “defensible and durable urban/ ALR edge.” If you think everyone loves farming, you’ve likely never lived on this “urban/ALR edge.”

The latest example is on Vancouver Island, where urban neighbours are protesting an established farmer’s decision to clear a forested property for hay growing.

The farmer has been forced to erect a chain-link fence to keep out trespassers who have decided the property is a park that they can use when they like.

The mayors of Saanich and View Royal seem more concerned with appeasing urban complainers than protecting the right to farm. They are being pressed to buy up idle ALR land to soothe urban voters repelled by logging and farming.

$20 vest can save your life ▶ WEARING REFLECTIVE GEAR A ‘COMMON-SENSE STEP’ Every winter, pedestrian strikes at intersections increase dramatically.

Simply put, the headlights of the vehicles approaching the intersection from various directions cast a glare on the water droplets on the side windows and edges of the windshield not cleared by the windshield wiper blades and render any dark object on the other side of the glass invisible.

Any vehicle turning right will have a large blind spot around the roof pillar where a pedestrian or cyclist in dark clothes in not visible behind the back-lit raindrops.

Utility poles further aggravate the problem as people standing behind or next to one in dark clothes are invisible.

The most effective “fix” for this problem is for pedestrians and cyclists to wear reflective clothing. However obvious this may seem, very few people actually take this simple common-sense step to make themselves visible to drivers who are trying to watch traffic lights, judge the speed and distance of approaching vehicles, and look in several directions including the rear view mirror all at once.

Also, put your cellphone in your pocket, pull your hoodie back, and look at the traffic while you are crossing a street. Don’t assume the drivers see you. They probably can’t and don’t.

▼ FAITH IN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM RESTORED I would like to offer my thanks and kudos to all the staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

So many negative things are said about our health care and hospitals in general. When I moved here from Tsawwassen, one of my deepest wishes was to never land up in Surrey Memorial. I take all of this back.

Yes, I was in great pain with a gallstone that had travelled into my pancreas. It did take seven hours before I had a CT scan. I was given something for pain quite soon.

Even so, as I was in hospital for five days – two days in the hub-bub of ER – I saw nothing but loving care on part of both nurses and doctors.

Regardless of status, the patient and not-so-patient patients were given their undivided attention, and if there was a quiet moment where the nurses had the opportunity to exchange a few pleasantries with one another, it was well-deserved.

I would say much the same about the ambulance driver and attendant.

My faith has been restored in a system that works. And yes, in an ideal world, each person would get care as soon as they arrive. We are people with an entitlement, so we think.

I hereby appeal to all my fellow citizens that even though we may not have a comfortable bed right away, we are so blessed in this country.

May you all have the merriest of Christmases – a wish from a grateful citizen.

Information fosters communication ▼ KNOWING MORE ABOUT SYRIANS WILL HELP BRIDGE THE DISTANCE

In our family, calling someone by their name was inherently easy.

Hello Jim, Dave, Gordon, etc. It was not something I had to think about.

Now I am a great-grandmother and our street’s Block Watch Captain. As our community evolves with immigration, I walk the path, smile and maybe bow as I passed someone whom did not respond in English. The other day, the co-captain and I enrolled two new families into our program and was pleased we could communicate in English.

But then I thought, “how will I ever remember how to pronounce names I am so unfamiliar with?”

They were lovely families and I could embarrass myself or alienate them by incorrectness.

“Hi” always works, but in Block Watch we need to engage our community for our safety. We need more from each other if we are to share common goals.

This got me to thinking about the

coming influx of new immigrants to our area and how we can better communicate. I was born in B.C. and have and lived here all my life, even though my father was an immigrant from England. I remember being teased at school that my dad had an accent, which I emphatically denied.

Remembering our experiences helps us to be more tolerant and understanding. When my husband and I travel, we often have to share with our friend to the south that we do not live in igloos and it is not cold all year. Our English cousins cannot believe the vastness of Canada and always hope to see a grizzly when they come over. We had a skunk in our neighbourhood when they visited us, which was completely foreign to them as they don’t have these critters there. This is a small item which goes to show people from different regions of the world have different experiences.

While we travel in Canada and the U.S. and sometimes England, we know so little about Syria and the surrounding countries. I’m probably not alone on this issue and if you ask other Surrey residents, I doubt they know either.

If our goal is to welcome Syrian newcomers, we need understanding and an appreciation of what is important to all of us. Knowing more about what their homeland was like before the wars, their commodities, customs, cultures and areas of interest might help open the communication about what we have in common.

Are robust security screening processes in place at schools?

I immigrated with my family to this beautiful land in 2006 under the skilled immigration category.

What was behind my decision to immigrate, leaving behind lots in Sri Lanka, my country of birth, was the ruthless civil war we had for more than 30 years, which robbed childhoods of many – including mine.

I experienced the horror of war when a terrorist organization operated in Sri Lanka during the time blew up the central bank building in 1996, killing and injuring scores

of workers, pedestrians, roadside sellers, drivers and others. It was one of the most powerful bomb blasts in the capital of Sri Lanka, which killed a few of my friends in the adjacent building to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka the prime target, where I was at work and managed to escape with minor injuries. I believe Lady Luck was on my side at a crucial juncture.

We never had post-traumatic care/consultation widely available in our country at that time, and those who were exposed to such horrendous war-like experiences suffered alone without any help. I was one of them.

I recollect waking up at night afraid, shaken by the sound of shutting doors, slamming brakes, etc. for many years, which many of our Canadian friends have thankfully not experienced.

The recent gruesome attacks in Paris and Beirut reminded me of the agony that I went through. I stayed glued to local TV stations, which discussed various potential permutations and combinations of checks and balances to be in place in our land to avoid such incidents, such as screening refugees.

However, I have not seen/read anyone discussing the potential avenue that so-called extremists could easily explore, such as sending their cadres impersonating as international students to our universities to create mayhem in crowded school premises.

I have questions at the back of my mind, some of which I append below for qualified security experts to ponder.

1. Do we have a robust security screening process currently in place for foreign students, particularly coming from high-risk countries?

2. If affirmative, is it a one-off exercise or is it done on an annual basis, particularly in cases where students take semester breaks and return?

3. Do we keep track of any suspicious students on records if (1) is in place?

4. If there is no process as discussed in (1) above, whose responsibility will it be to implement, universities or provincial/federal governments? And how soon will we implement such a mechanism?

Just before a victim impact statement was read on his behalf, Trevor Forsyth walked to the front of the B.C. Supreme Court gallery and, with a loud thump, placed a large green urn bearing his wife’s ashes beside her killer.

Gloria Zerbinos, sitting inside the Plexiglass prisoner’s box, looked at the urn containing her mother’s remains, up at Forsyth, and back to the urn.

The Crown prosecutor proceeded with reading how the murder of Pangiota “Yota” Zerbinos – at the hands of her daughter Gloria – has caused lasting pain for Forsyth.

“It has been over three years and I still can’t make it through the day without tearing up,” wrote Forsyth, Yota’s longtime common-law spouse.

He talked about the trouble he has sleep-

Gloria Zerbinos (right) was convicted in September of murdering her mother Yota Zerbinos (left).

“I have changed and not for the better,” Forsyth said. “My nieces wish they could have their uncle Trevor back…”

The statement was read during Gloria’s sentencing hearing on Friday (Dec. 4) in New Westminster court.

She was found guilty in September of the second-degree murder of her mother, and while the conviction carries an automatic life sentence, a judge must decide the length of parole ineligibility, which can range from 10 to 25 years.

She stared stone faced while victim impact statements were read. Friends and family in the gallery cried.

It was Nov. 8, 2012 when Forsyth and his brother discovered Yota’s body in Gloria’s basement suite in Surrey.

The court heard the 43-year-old was stabbed at least 24 times and was found covered in a blanket with a knife still protruding from her chest.

After the murder, Gloria, who was 28 at the time, took her

young son and dog up the street to her grandmother’s home (Yota’s mother).

She said nothing of the stabbing and did not return.

She was arrested two days later at a Vancouver strip club where she danced. She is now 31.

The Crown is recommending Gloria not be eligible to apply for parole for at least 13 years, while defence is suggesting 10-12 years.

On the day she was killed, Yota was bringing Gloria her clean laundry. Crown characterized the murder as an “unprovoked” and “extremely violent” attack.

While no motive has been established, lawyers agreed Gloria suffers from a psychotic disorder, possibly schizophrenia.

They said she also uses illegal drugs, complicating both the diagnosis and treatment.

The court heard that prior to Yota’s death, Gloria had delusions someone was plotting to chloroform and molest her.

In jail, Crown prosecutor Jas Gahunia said Gloria has displayed a continued on page 9

Earlier this year, Justice Frits Verhoeven denied Gloria was not criminally responsible for her mother’s murder, saying there was no evidence a mental condition impeded her capacity to know the attack would be fatal.

In a statement read on his behalf, Trevor’s brother Scott Forsyth said there weren’t words to adequately express the anguish caused by Yota’s murder. ▶ “I will He said Gloria not only took away a sister, wife, be forever daughter and friend, but haunted she killed her own mother, who brought her into

“I will be forever haunted by Gloria’s SCOTT FORSYTH actions, not to mention what she’s done to her son,” said Scott of Gloria’s child.

Yota’s older sister also submitted a statement, calling Yota her “first baby” – a sibling she took care of as a child and who she continued to guide as an adult.

They last saw one another when Yota and Trevor visited her in Greece in 2010, and dreamed of their next visit – a dream they’ve now been denied, she said.

“I will never, ever forgive her for murdering my baby sister Yota.”

Gloria has no prior criminal record.

Verhoeven will deliver his decision on parole ineligibility on Dec. 21.

Police issue fentanyl warning Delta Police are warning the public about the danger of using deadly cocaine laced with fentanyl after two recent overdoses.

Delta Police were called after two people were hospitalized Saturday when they inadvertently ingested fentanyl.

Fentanyl is a painkiller 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine and is often used to help ease extreme pain. Outside a hospital setting, it can be lethal.

Delta Police are reminding

the public that consuming any illegal drug means uncertainty about what might be in it.

Fentanyl is a respiratory depressant that, when cut with other drugs, cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. Symptoms of an early overdose of fentanyl can include: • Severe sleepiness • Slow heartbeat • Trouble breathing • Slow, shallow breathing or snoring • Cold, clammy skin • Trouble walking or talking While abstinence from illegal drug use is always the

best choice, police suggest that anyone who chooses to use should never use alone, and if they see someone who has taken drugs exhibit any overdose symptoms, they should call 911 immediately. More information on fentanyl can be found at knowyoursource.ca

RCMP probe man’s death Police are investigating the death of a man found in the middle of the road in Bridgeview on the weekend.

At about midnight Friday, police were called to 126 Street and King George Boulevard (just east of the Pattullo Bridge) to a report of a man in distress.

When RCMP arrived, they found a man in the middle of the road with extensive injuries. He was taken to hospital, where he died.

Neither the identity of the man, nor his cause of death, have been determined as of yet.

Home invasion sends one to hospital A man was taken to hospital with significant injuries after a home invasion last week.

On Thursday, Dec. 3 at about 2:15 a.m., three people broke into a house in the 10600-block of 132 Street while four people were in the home.

The invaders, who carried a metal bar, a knife and pepper spray, demanded to see someone who was not there, but who police say is known to them and is associated with the home.

Police say at some point, one or all three of the invaders attacked one of men at the home. They kept beating him until someone dropped by

the house and they fled.

The beating victim sustained significant, but non-life-threatening, injuries and was taken to hospital. He is also known to police.

“This was a targeted crime and the intended target was not at the residence,” said RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann.

“Unfortunately, the five people inside the home suffered the consequences for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. People need to need to be cognizant of the risk of associating with people involved in crime.”

Anyone who has any information about this crime is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Man hit by pick-up truck A man is in serious condition after being struck by a pick-up truck in North Delta.

On Dec. 3, the man was getting off a transit bus at River Road and Centre Street and was crossing River Road when he was

struck by the truck. He was thrown into the bus and sustained serious injuries. He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital.

The driver of the pick-up truck that hit him remained at scene, as did the bus.

Delta Police Sgt. Sarah Swallow said police believe rain and dark conditions were contributing factors.

Drugs, alcohol or distracted driving are not believed to be a cause of the accident.

There is a marked crossing at that site, but it’s unclear if the man used it.

Teen shooting in Whalley part of planned skirmish: Police Police say the shooting of a 17-yearold last week was the result of a pre-arranged fight between two groups.

On Tuesday (Dec. 1) at about 8:40 p.m., police were called to a shooting at Prince Charles Elementary, in the 12400-block of 100 Avenue.

When Mounties arrived, they found a 17-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Surrey RCMP say the shooting was the result of two groups who gathered at the school for a fight. They also say they have received minimal cooperation from the victim or anyone else associated with the altercation.

RCMP describe the investigation as being in the early stages, but police do not believe it is connected with the city’s ongoing turf war over dial-a-dope drug

B.C. Coroners Service announced Peltz as the deceased, requesting privacy for his family “at this difficult time.”

Peltz died after fire broke out in his RV just before 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 27 at the Seacrest Motel & RV Park in the 800-block of 160 Street.

Neighbours had called 911 after seeing smoke; Surrey firefighters extinguished the blaze and found Peltz inside.

He’s been described as “a very nice man… friendly.”

Lynn Gifford is the Forensic Nursing Services coordinator at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

SMH is one of just two hospitals in the Fraser Health region that has forensic services available 24/7, and the only one that treats sexual assault victims under the age of 13.

EVAN SEAL

SHEILA REYNOLDS

As the designated Regional Pediatric Centre in the Fraser Health region, Surrey Memorial Hospital offers specialized and unique care to babies, children and youth from Burnaby to Hope. The Leader provides an inside look at how B.C.’s second-largest hospital has grown and adapted to treat its youngest and most vulnerable patients.

In a quiet area, removed from the bustle of the rest of Surrey Memorial Hospital, is a simple room with a few chairs and an adjoining exam room.

Hours earlier, a teenage girl was there. The 16-year-old was sexually

LYNN GIFFORD

‘I think of it as putting them back together’ assaulted the night before and after telling her mom and contacting police, she’s been referred to SMH. Upon arrival, the teen is met by a registered nurse from the Forensic Nursing Service (FNS) who’s specially trained to deal with such sensitive scenarios.

In the safety of the secured hospital area, the girl shares her story, agreeing to a physical exam to ensure she doesn’t have injuries requiring immediate medical attention.

The possibility of involving police is discussed with her, as is the possible collection of medical evidence for any potential legal action.

After some thought, the young victim – to her mom’s dismay –

▶ SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL’S FORENSIC NURSING SERVICE IS THE ONLY ONE IN FRASER HEALTH TO TREAT CHILD SEX ASSAULT VICTIMS chooses not to involve police further and the hospital visit ends.

Though frustrating for a parent seeking justice, Lynn Gifford isn’t unhappy with the outcome. Not only has the teen spoken up about her attack and sought help, but she has found the strength – in the shadow of an apparent rape – to take control of her situation.

“When power has been taken away from anybody, you want to return it – give them choice,” explains Gifford, Forensic Nursing Services

(FNS) coordinator at SMH. “I think of it as putting them back together.”

Surrey and Abbotsford Regional are the only two hospitals in the Fraser Health region with forensic nursing services available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Patients referred to the program are either gender and have experienced some form of violence, including but not limited to, child abuse, dating violence, drug-facilitated sex assault and human trafficking and exploitation.

While Abbotsford treats patients 13 and over, Surrey is the only site between Burnaby and Hope where child victims of sexual assault are treated.

Surrey’s FNS treats a total of about 320 patients of all ages per year. It’s been just over a year since the program began seeing children.

More than 30 kids have come through the doors so far and the number continues to climb.

Before the program was expanded in 2014, child victims had nowhere to go but B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, meaning they’d be brought to SMH only to be turned away. continued on page 12

BLACK PRESS

Surrey RCMP has planned a series of information sessions for citizens interested in becoming an auxiliary constable.

Auxiliary constables are hands-on volunteers who assist officers with community-based policing and crime-prevention programs.

“Quite simply, the Auxiliary Constable Program is meant to strengthen the partnership that exists between the community and the police,” Sgt. Paul Hayes said in a release. “The program provides volunteers with a unique opportunity to perform authorized activities that help reduce crime and disorder and promote community engagement.”

Information sessions are only scheduled once per year. In 2016, they’re set for Jan. 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 23 and 30.

The program is open to Canadian citizens, aged 21 years or older, who meet a set of criteria that includes proficiency in English and a willingness to commit to a minimum of two years after training (which consists of 250 hours of classroom and practical instruction).

To register for one of the January information sessions, email surrey_auxiliary_application@rcmp-grc.gc.ca For more information, visit surrey.rcmp-grc.gc.ca

trained to deal with child victims. The examination process is similar to the care adults and adolescents receive, with every sensitive procedure explained in a calm and supportive atmosphere.

Depending on the willingness of a younger patient, a child life specialist may be involved or a social worker may be present to provide support to family. (If there are concerns about a potentially unsafe home situation or if the alleged perpetrator is a family member, the Ministry of Children and Family Development is contacted).

At any age, it’s all about patient choice – something they were denied when they were assaulted.

“We follow the same process in terms of making sure we have consent from the child,” says Gifford.

“We don’t ever do anything without permission. We may get consent from the parent, but we still make sure the child is willing to cooperate.

“When I watch young people empowered, their whole posture changes, their whole demeanour changes.”

The new forensic nursing exam area is far cry from

what was once available, before the Critical Care tower was completed at SMH. It used to be victims of sexual assault would simply be seen alongside others in the ER, allowing for little privacy or security.

Gifford sits back in one of the chairs in the re-vamped unit. It may not be big, but it’s secluded, quiet and has a locking door.

“Once we’re in here, people tend to settle down and relax,” she smiles.

The exam room is now being used daily, sometimes two or three times per day.

And while Gifford knows some might lament the fact there is a steady stream of patients seeking treatment following a sex assault, she takes a realistic view.

“When there’s no patient there, it’s not that it’s not happening. It’s that people aren’t accessing the resources.

“I’m happy they’re coming in.”

Valley West sweeps Ice to move into first ▶ MAJOR MIDGET HOCKEY LEAGUE TEAM DEFEATS KOOTENAY 9-0, 7-5

for the Hawks. Gerlib, Gurney, Michael Farren and Ian Ross each had a pair of assists.

The Hawks scored four powerplay goals against an indisciplined Kootenay team Saturday. The

RICK KUPCHUK

They dominated the Kootenay Ice for 110 of 120 minutes last weekend, which was enough for the Valley West Hawks to win both ends of a BC Hockey Major Midget League double header.

The Hawks ripped the Ice 9-0 Saturday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre, then hung on for a 7-5 victory Sunday morning. They improved to 16-5-1 (win-loss-tie) and moved past the idle Vancouver Giants into first place in the 11team provincial league for elite 15-17 year-olds.

“Yesterday went real good, we had a good game start to finish from everyone in the lineup,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung after Sunday’s game. “Today, we started off pretty good. Then, in the third period we got a little bit complacent again.”

Valley West led 3-1 and 5-1 at the period breaks Sunday, yet

Ben Evanish of the Valley West Hawks scored three times in a 9-0 win over the Kootenay Ice. BOAZ JOSEPH

allowed the Ice to get back into the game over the final 20 minutes.

Kootenay scored just 28 seconds into the third period, but Luka Burzan netted his second of the game to restore the Hawks’ four-goal lead at 6-2. But the Ice responded with another two scores, and were within striking distance at 6-4 with 12 minutes to play. Justyn Gurney tallied for the Hawks with seven minutes to play, and Kootenay again answered 65 second later. there was

no scoring over the final six minutes of play.

“It’s something we’ve talked about all year. It’s part of the challenge in our league particularly,” said Leung. “The kids are 15-17 years-old, and you play the same teams twice in a row. It’s easy to become complacent.

“At the same token, if everything is all tickety-boo at the midway point of the season, you’ve peaked at the wrong time.”

Josh Bruce, Christian Bosa, Colten Gerlib and James Malm also scored

Ice took 34 minutes in penalties compared to just 12 for Valley West, and were shorthanded 10 times.

Burzan and Ben Evanish each scored three times. Oliver

Alcock with two, Bradley Stonnell and Bosa were the other goal scorers.

Collecting two assists each were Stonnell, Alcock, Carson Franklin, Evanish and Bosa.

The Hawks will play

twice against the seventh-place Vancouver Canadians next weekend, playing at home Friday night in Langley continued on page 18

Welcome back, Justin LaForest.

The 20-year-old netminder returned to the Surrey Eagles crease for the first time in two months – he’d been out with an injury since mid-October – and was thrown right into the fire, stopping 89 over 95 shots in just two road games, both losses, against the Wenatchee Wild last week.

Then if that wasn’t enough, the veteran goalie was thrust into action Sunday at South Surrey Arena as well, stopping 27 of 30 shots in relief of starter Daniel Davidson in an 8-5 loss to the visiting Nanaimo Clippers.

In Thursday and Friday night’s losses to the high-powered Wild – by scores of 4-1 and 2-1 – LaForest was the star.

In the first period Friday, he kept the Eagles in the game, stopping all 20 shots he faced, while his teammates managed just four on Wenatchee keeper

Goalie sets franchise record in a pair of wins ▶ VANCOUVER GIANTS EARN SHUTOUT WINS OVER MEDICINE HAT, KOOTENAY RICK KUPCHUK

Vancouver Giants netminder Ryan Kubic set a new franchise record, leading the Western Hockey League team to a pair

of shutout wins on home ice.

The Giants won two of four games last weekend, gaining some ground in a race for a playoff position in the Western Conference. After a 6-0 win Wednesday (Dec. 2) over the Medicine Hat Tigers and a 4-0 triumph Friday over the Kootenay Ice, the Giants then lost twice.

They dropped a 3-1 decision on the road to the Everett Silvertips, and fell 6-5 Sunday to the Prince George Cougars in the Pacific Coliseum.

Kubic was the winning goalie in the two shutout victories, and his shutout string of an even 208 minutes was a new franchise best.

The old record was set by former Surrey

Vancouver Giants captain Tyler Benson is the WHL Player of the Week.

Eagles netminder Dustin Slade, who went 198:18 in the 2006 playoffs.

The Giants are 8-182-2 (win-loss-overtime loss-shootout loss), and remain in the basement of the B.C. Division, six points out of a playoff position in the Western Conference.

Kubic turned aside 33 shots against Medicine Hat, while the Giants scored six times on the 28 shots directed at the Tigers’ net. Ty Ronning had the hat trick for Vancouver, with Chase Lang, Dylan Plouffe and Trevor Cox adding singles. Cox, who scored the game’s last goal with the Giants shorthanded, also had a pair of assists.

The Giants were twofor-six with the man advantage, while the

Tigers were scoreless on three powerplay opportunities.

Kubic was perfect again Friday night in a 4-0 win over the Kootenay Ice, making 25 saves. Ronning, Lang and Radovan Bondra found the net in the first period, giving Vancouver a 3-0 lead after just 20 minutes.

Alec Baer was the only goal scorer over the final two periods.

Kubic’s shutout run came to an end 10 minutes into Saturday’s game in Everett, when Matt Fonteyne gave the Silvertips a 1-0 lead. Everett was up 2-0 when Tyler Benson got the Giants to within one with a powerplay goal 43 seconds into the third period.

The Silvertips added

C.J. RELKE / VANCOUVER GIANTS

an insurance goal with two minutes remaining.

The Prince George Cougars chased Kubic from the net less than five minutes into Sunday’s game, taking a 2-0 lead by scoring twice on three shots on net.

The Giants rallied with goals from Plouffe late in the first period and Baer early in the second. The Cougars regained the lead with a powerplay goal, but fell behind 4-3 after Lang and Benson tallied for the home team.

Prince George then reeled off three straight scores to go up 6-4. Vancouver cut the difference in half on a goal by Ronning with two minutes to go, but time ran out on the Giants.

The Giants will play three games next weekend, all against the 19-8-1-1 Victoria Royals. The Royals visit the Giants Friday night at 7:30 p.m., then the two rivals will travel to Victoria for games Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

BLUE LINES: Giants captain Tyler Benson was named the WHL’s Player of the Week.

The Edmonton native tallied eight points in four games, scoring twice and assisting on six other goals.

The 17-year-old now has 19 points, including seven goals, in 20 games so far this season.

The six-foot, 196-pound forward is eligible for next summer’s National Hockey League Entry Draft.

visitors on the board with less than three minutes to go in the game.

The Eagles struggled on the power play, going 0-for-4 with the man-advantage, but they excelled killing penalties, limiting the Wild to just one goal in seven opportunities.

On Friday, LaForest shut the door early as well, stopping all of Wenatchee’s 19 first-period shots. The Wild finally snapped the goal-less stretch 30 seconds into the second when Mike Coyne scored, but the 1-0 lead lasted less than nine minutes, as Black, with an assist from Darius Davidson, tied the game midway through the period.

The final period was much the same as the first, with Wenatchee peppering LaForest

with rubber, but the keeper showed no sign of rust or fatigue in the second game of a back-to-back series, stopping 15 shots to keep the score 2-1.

Black’s two-goal effort on the road trip gave him nine points in nine games since joining the Eagles; he was acquired last month from the Trail Smoke Eaters in a deal that sent former Surrey captain Kyle Star the other direction.

Black was again one of the team’s offensive catalysts Sunday against Nanaimo, scoring twice while adding an assist in the 8-5 loss.

Paul McAvoy also had two goals and an assist to pace the Eagles’ attack, which started slow before picking up in the final 20 minutes.

Surrey trailed 2-1 after the first period – firing 19 shots on the Nanaimo goal – but the

Clippers rallied in the middle frame to score five goals on 19 shots of their own.

Trailing 7-1 after 40 minutes, Surrey mounted a comeback of sorts in the third period, scoring four goals to make it 7-5, but a Nanaimo empty-net goal with 1:29 left on the clock iced the win for the Island visitors.

The losses dropped the Eagles’ record to 5-25 (win-loss), though the team will have the chance to claw back into the win column this weekend, with a busy three-games-in-threenights stretch.

On Friday, Surrey will travel to Coquitlam for a game against the Express, and the two squads will square off in a rematch Sunday, also in Coquitlam. In between, the Eagles will host the Langley Rivermen Saturday night at South Surrey Arena.

‘Martial arts keeps me sane’ ▶ SELF-DEFENCE PROGRAM IN WHALLEY HELPS BULLIED KIDS – AND THEIR INSTRUCTOR – DEAL WITH LIFE’S CHALLENGES EVAN SEAL

Standing inside the front door of Gateway fitness on King George Boulevard in North Surrey, Rachel Fehr personally greets her students and their parents with a warm hug – even inquiring about their week or what has been happening in school.

Behind her, loud music echoes through the gym as two youths work through a sparring session in one of a pair of large boxing rings, and a group of teens line up shoulder to shoulder waiting for their class to begin.

Fehr – along with her fellow martial arts instructors Shi Han Christopher Ginter and Kancho Mike Caffrey – begin the usual routine with a bow from each of the students and a physical warm-up, a ritual built on mutual respect.

The students divide their time between jiu jitsu and kickboxing, as well as various forms of Spirit Combat, a multi-disciplinary martial arts style originating in England.

Being a welcoming adult role model is something that has not come easy for Fehr, 34, but it’s a responsibility she takes seriously.

Nearly 10 years ago, Fehr was in a very different place.

Staring over the edge of the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver, she decided she had endured enough pain and wanted to die.

Addicted to crack cocaine and living on the streets in Guildford, she felt she had no other option. Numerous attempts to get help for her mental health and substance abuse issues had proven fruitless.

Fehr looked down at the dark water below as the cold November rain soaked through her clothes. She thought about her two children and what would happen to them.

She made another decision.

Borrowing a cellphone from a construction worker, she called 911. She didn’t really want to die, but felt this was the only way to get the help she needed.

The plan worked and she was admitted to the psychiatric ward at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH).

“I knew I needed help, but so many hospitals give you a pill and send you home,” she said, “so I made sure they took me to VGH.” Once there, she was able to see a medical professional who gave her the strength to begin dealing with her demons. She eventually moved up north to B.C.’s Nass Valley to work in the woods and clear her head.

She also wanted to get strong enough to begin the long journey back to a place where

▶ “I have seen these kids grow leaps and bounds with their insecurity and anxiety issues. I see it changing right before my eyes.”

RCMP AUXILIARY CONST. DOYLE WILLETT

Above: Rachel Fehr founded Smiling Tigers Jujitsu to help troubled youth learn life skills. Below: A year ago, Issac Davis says his life had little direction. He credits his classes at Smiling Tigers with helping him to learn how to push past problems. EVAN SEAL she could confront the abuse she suffered as a child, get over a tumultuous marriage that ended in divorce, and begin to understand a new diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

But most of all, Fehr wanted to regain custody of her two children, who had been taken into government care while she recovered.

She credits the Psychiatric Group Therapy Services program at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) with saving her life.

“The group therapy program gave me the tools I needed to change the way I think,” said Fehr, “It was SMH that taught me how to deal with the state of my mental health.”

In 2010, finally out of hospital, living on income assistance in Surrey and looking for work, Fehr found it nearly impossible to live on the $610 per month she was receiving from social assistance – which left her with only $190 for food and bills once her rent was paid.

“I was feeling pretty desperate,” she said.

“One day I even contemplated selling myself to make money… I was that desperate for food.”

That’s when Hamaseh Aftase drove by.

Fehr was walking home after visiting some friends in Whalley and Aftase, a local roofer, noticed her and asked her if she would like to go for coffee.

Since that day the two have rarely been

apart, with Aftase helping her get back on her feet, paying most of her bills, even helping her get her kids back.

“He was my turning point,” Fehr said of her boyfriend. “I was alone until he came along.”

That was almost five years ago.

In addition to staying clean and sober, Fehr also hatched a plan to help others

going through tough personal times.

Although she had given up training while she dealt with her addiction, she knew that when she was at her lowest point, martial arts was the only thing that kept her going. continued on page 22

Initially Fehr had planned to start a martial arts program to help women living in shelters deal with domestic abuse, but finding women that were ready mentally and physically to commit the time needed proved difficult.

It was just after hockey mom Julie Paskall had been murdered outside a Newton ice rink in 2013 when Fehr – at SMH for migraine treatment – struck up a conversation with the parents of an 18-year-old girl who was struggling with bullying.

Growing up in Maple Ridge, Fehr was also bullied all through her school years. Being a good student and being a “little different” made her a target.

“I was nice, kind… I was the perfect target so I started training in martial arts at 16,” she said.

The hospital conversation with the parents led Fehr to change her focus to helping youth – and Smiling Tigers Jujitsu was born.

Years had passed since Fehr had last trained, but she knew there was a need to help kids who were different like her find the self-confidence they required to thrive.

With support from friends and donated space at Gateway Fitness, Fehr began teaching kids self-defence techniques, and within three months, through word of mouth, the class had grown to 15 students.

Virtually all were victims of bullying or violent crime.
