Do you feel the need for speed?by Jeff Nagel
TRANSPORTATION MINISTER Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consider-ation.
Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday in Kam-loops, although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway.
Th e Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 km/h, but traffi c there does an average speed of 118 km/h, while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 km/h on many other provincial highways.
“Th ere’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George.
It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits.
Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specifi c corridors to adjust will be subject to public input.

TRANSLINK IS earmarking nearly $300 million to rehabilitate the aging Pattullo Bridge over the next three years even though the structure could be torn down soon aft er the work is done.
But offi cials at the regional transpor-tation authority insist they will try not to spend the money unnecessarily and
are hopeful the bulk of the outlay can be averted if a decision on replacing the Pattullo with a new bridge can be made soon enough.
Th e projected amount to be spent repairing the bridge has doubled from a previous estimate of $150 million to $299 million aft er work on the span this summer gave TransLink a better idea of what is needed.
Executive Vice-President of Policy
and Strategic Planning Bob Paddon said the rehab work could begin as soon as 2015 and he hopes a decision on the Pat-tullo’s replacement will be made in 2014.
But even a quick decision on replace-ment won’t avert the need to expend a signifi cant amount fi xing the old bridge, Paddon said, because those repairs will be necessary before a new bridge opens.
TransLink sets aside $300M to fi x bridge – up from $150M

Four more ‘civic
treasures’ honoured
Meeting mom – aft er 52 yearsby Sheila Reynolds
WHEN HER plane landed in Whitehorse last month, Surrey’s Linda Evans spotted the group of people awaiting her arrival.
Th ere, standing at a distance in the airport, were her new-found half-sister and two half-brothers – neither of whom she’d met face to face – as well as others she didn’t know.
Among them was Lucy, a woman Linda recognized from a photo she’d been sent. In recent weeks, the two had also been talking on the phone.
But it had been 52 years since she’d been in the same room, looked into her eyes or felt her touch.
Linda was only about seven years old when Lucy, her mother, disappeared from their Surrey home.
Instead of following the other passengers inside the airport, Evans entered through a diff erent door, approaching the group from behind.
“I was so nervous,” she recalled. “My stom-ach was in a knot.”
When the group turned and saw her, they yelled “oh my God!” and ran to hug her.
It was all a bit overwhelming, but Evans is starting to get used to the bizarre turn her life has taken in recent months.
It all began in late June, when the Surrey RCMP issued a public appeal in a historic missing persons case. Th e case involved a woman named Lucy Ann Johnson, who lived in Surrey with her husband and two young kids until 1961. Th at’s when she vanished.
Aft er the RCMP made their public plea, Evans also set out searching, eventually plac-ing a classifi ed ad and old photo of Lucy in a newspaper in the Yukon. Her mom was born in Alaska so she thought it was worth a shot.
Th e emails and phone calls soon began. Someone recognized the “missing” woman. She wasn’t missing at all, but was living in the north.
Th rough July and August, Evans, who is in her late 50s, got to know her mom and her new-found sister Rhonda Glenn. She also learned she
had two more half-brothers.She vowed to save her pennies and planned to fl y north for a visit. In early
September, however, she was on a fl ight, courtesy of Lucy, who footed the bill.
Th e week-long visit, Evans said, wasn’t nearly long enough, but answered many questions and provided her peace of mind.
Her mom, she said, claimed her marriage was a tumultuous one and when she told her husband she was leaving, he told her she couldn’t take the kids.
“My dad knew she left . I would’ve liked if he’d have said something,” Evans said.
Her father passed away in the late 1990s and her brother drowned in his teens.
During her visit, Lucy gave Evans a tradi-tional First Nations button blanket – a gift intended for a mother’s eldest daughter.
Th e soft -spoken woman showed nothing but love and kindness, said Evans.
“She said she used to think of us, but didn’t know where to start. She said she put it in the back of her mind.”
Lucy, who is 77, hasn’t spoken publicly about her disappearance fi ve decades ago, or her reunion with her daughter. She also didn’t want her photo published.
Glenn said she just wants Evans to get to know “mom” and welcomes her new sister to the family with open arms.
“If I’d have known, I would have looked her up a long time ago,” said Glenn. “I’ve always wanted a sister, so it’s a dream come true. We’re just glad to have her.”
Evans plans to return to the Yukon for another visit in December, and hopes to bring her teenage grandson. Lucy, she said, has many grandkids and great-grandchildren here who she’d like her to meet.
Evans’ tale of fi nding her mother aft er more than 50 years made headlines across the country and even overseas this summer. It’s all been very surreal, she said.
“It turned out, so I’m happy. It’s not all the time it works out so well.”[email protected]
Residentsrecognized forcontribution to Surrey culture
by Sheila Reynolds
SHE’S KNOWN as the Queen of Props, and tonight (Oct. 8), Max-ine Howchin will be among this year’s recipients of a Surrey Civic Treasures award.
It’s the 10th year of the Business and the Arts reception and the sixth year of the civic treasure awards. Th e awards were established in 2008 to honour citizens who refl ect the unique character and history of Surrey or help develop or build appreciation of the city’s culture.
Howchin, a longtime advocate of the arts and volunteer with Fraser
Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society (managing props), has lived in Sur-rey since she was a child. She is vice-president of the Arts Council of Surrey, a tap dancer and spends many an hour volunteering her time in the com-munity.
She is one of four citizens receiving a civic treasure award this year. Th e others are Kelly Konno, Ellie King and Patricia Dahlquist.
Konno is the creator of the 2010 Olympics Celebration Dance team. She is the owner and director of Triple Th reat Dance Connection and was a choreog-rapher for Janet Jackson.
King is the founder of the Royal Canadian Th eatre Company, which stages a traditional British pantomime pro-duction in Surrey
annually. She’s an acclaimed actor and teaches performing arts.
Dahlquist is a Juno-award-winning singer and co-founder of the Young Peoples’ Opera Society of B.C. Th e celebrated librettist is also an actor, vocal coach and theatre teacher.
Howchin, Konno, King and Dahlquist will be honoured and given a medal at a reception at the Surrey Arts Centre tonight (Tues-day) at 6 p.m.
After her mother vanished from Surrey in 1961, Linda Evans never thoughtshe’d see her again, let alone enjoy a welcoming homecoming

He said a higher speed limit along some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway.
He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and other improvements.
Stone cited a 28-per-cent drop in injury-caus-ing collisions since 2003. And he said research increasingly suggests the greatest danger isn’t speeding itself, but driv-ing at a much diff erent speed than most other drivers.
A minority of 15 per cent of drivers who don’t keep up with the fl ow or who speed excessively are at greater risk of a crash than the other 85 per cent of drivers who may be going somewhat
over the posted speed limit, he said.
Stone stressed decreases in the speed limit are also possible.
“Th is review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.”
And he said there will be “no Autobahn” in B.C. where speed limits are lift ed altogether.
“I am not interested in making any changes that are going to compromise the safety of motorists.”
He said one option could be variable speed limits that are higher in the day and lower at night.
Th e review will pull in fresh research from around the world, and closely consider factors unique to B.C., such as its geography and high mountain passes.
Th e risk of crashes with wildlife will also be a key consideration.
Bright signs that warn of wildlife at night – potentially activated
by sensors that detect animals near the high-way – are among various options the ministry will consider to counter that risk, particularly on highways where posted limits might rise.
Stone said other tech-nologies being tried else-where include automated sirens that scare wildlife off roads.
Th e speed limit review aims to generate recommenda-tions by next spring, when the legislature reconvenes.
Public forums on the issue will be held in Kam-loops, Chilliwack, Van-couver, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Kelowna starting in November, with potentially more sites still to be added.
One group advocat-ing for higher speed limits is Sense BC, which was behind a recent viral video mak-
ing the case for change.Sense BC’s Ian
Tootill said even a 10 km/h increase on the Coquihalla to 120 km/h wouldn’t be enough to match the prevailing speeds in summer.
Tootill argues speed limits should be set at the upper end of what’s safe – allowing those who can
drive that speed to legally do so – while most motorists would go slower.
Others react-ing on social media argued faster speeds would compro-mise safety and burn more fuel.
Some cities have also advocated for a lower default speed limit on urban streets of 40 km/h instead of 50, but that idea was defeated by a majority of del-egates at last month’s Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention.

“We will need to spend some money though because, even if we have a decision, we’re still going to have to fi gure out how to fund it and then you have to build it,” he said at a recent meet-ing of Metro Vancouver mayors.
Much of the required work is on the bridge deck itself, in addition to seismic upgrades.
CEO Ian Jarvis said TransLink is required to plan for the rehabilitation scenario in its new base plan, because it has no revenue secured yet to replace the bridge.
Public consultation found most respondents back a new six-lane Pat-tullo, but the idea was opposed by most New Westminster residents, who would rather trucks and traffi c from Surrey bypass their city.
TransLink has win-nowed 25 bridge replace-ment confi gurations down to six.
It aims to short-list two or three preferred options this winter ahead of a fi nal choice – if the cities of Surrey and New Westminster can unite behind one.
It’s assumed the new $1-billion-plus cross-ing would be paid for through tolls.
Th e Pattullo could be knocked out of service by a moderate earthquake or a ship collision, and is at risk of being under-mined by river scour, according to TransLink.

With MK Delta Lands’ recent proposal to develop 36 hectares near Highway 91 and 72 Avenue, the decades-long fi ght to protect Burns Bog in its entirety may fi nally reach its conclusion – and this should be cause for celebration.
Part of the development proposal includes having another 78 hectares of bog land be absorbed into the contiguous Burns Bog Conservation Area, bringing the grand total of protected lands to more than 2,200 hectares.
Th is parcel, currently zoned for industrial-scale peat extraction, is the critical last piece in the Burns Bog puzzle.
Th e 2,250-hectare bog property was originally bought from the provincial government in 1978 by a group of investors led by the McLaughlin family, who also purchased Grouse Mountain at the time.
Th e MK Group held a minority stake in the deal, and in 2004, became the prin-cipal and controlling investor. It was then, aft er decades of controversy about the future of the bog, that the MK Group sold off more than 2,000 hectares of its land for a price tag of $73 million to various levels of government so it could be used to create the Burns Bog Conservancy Area.
Not long aft er the initial deal was struck, the Corporation of Delta expressed concerns about the lack of connecting greenspace on what is now the Delta-South Surrey Greenway. So the MK Group agreed to reopen the deal and sell off additional lands, leaving itself close to 115 hectares of land along Highway 91 with which to develop.
Th e development plan calls for 1,100 residential units in the form of 650 four-storey apartments and 450 three-storey townhouses, as well as 12,000 square metres of commercial space. Th e proposal will also see $30 million in Highway 91 upgrades, benefi ting the hundreds of thousands of commuters who use the route every day. Th e property is currently zoned for industrial uses, but the MK Delta Lands’ proposal will have far less environmental impact.
Under the current development proposal, only 36 hectares will actually be built on, and of that, about half will remain undeveloped.
So from the 2,250 hectares of its original holdings, MK Delta Lands will be only be building on about 18 hectares – little more than half of one per cent.
If that isn’t compromise, what is?– Black Press
I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” pe-tition to demand a provincewide refer-endum on marijuana enforcement. You shouldn’t either, and here are a few rea-
sons why.Let me start by saying I’ve been calling
for legalization and regulation of pot for 20 years, to conserve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and cocaine, and mar-ijuana is obviously much easier to produce.
But the current eff ort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only mis-guided, it’s dangerous.
Th e petition does not propose legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. Th is would create a loophole in the federal drug law.
So what would that do? It would protect otherwise innocent customers of the current illegal marijuana trade, while leaving the criminal distribution business in place.
For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against
three accused assassins of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna.
Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier. Th is is a source of many simple possession charges today.
Police chiefs have a diff erent idea, asking for the option of treating simple possession as a ticket off ence to keep the court time to a minimum.
Both of these notions have the same obvious fl aws. Th ey don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to govern-ment, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers who buy cocaine, guns and fancy cars.
Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. Th ese states need money, and they don’t need more crime or ill-considered hippy gesture politics.
Meanwhile in Ottawa, Health Canada is
trying to convert a poorly regulated mess of small-scale medical marijuana licences to a free-market system of commercial producers.
Local politicians tore a strip off Health Canada offi cials at their recent convention, aft er years of warnings that federal licences
were scattered at unknown locations, oft en used as fronts for larger grow-ops.
Mission Coun. Dave Hens-man predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancel-ling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.”
Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers.
One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. Aft er scrawling “pot cures
cancer” on the table, he proceeded to inter-rupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan.
You can imagine how people with ter-minal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side eff ects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suff ering for some mul-tiple sclerosis patients.
But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic.
Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the eff ects of residential schools on aboriginal children.
I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no.

THE PICTURE at right is of a dog that has been living on the end of a chain in Surrey for at least four years.
Her name is Wendy. She has been exposed to the recent downpours with nothing but a crate for shelter. She hates the crate and is rarely seen inside it, even in the worst weather.
You can see from her coat that she hasn’t been groomed in years. She spends almost every min-ute of the day alone, pacing relentlessly, which is all she can do, day in and day out, for years. Her life is a misery.
Wendy has been reported repeatedly to the BCSPCA but they won’t seize her because the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act does not defi ne tethering as distress.
Wendy has food, shelter and water – these days lots and lots of water – so she has every-thing the law requires to keep her alive. Miser-able, but alive.
If Wendy lived in Burnaby, New Westminster, Lion’s Bay, Richmond, Victoria, or Calgary, her suff ering would be over as these communities have all banned tethering.
But unfortunately for Wendy she lives in Sur-
rey, where this cruelty is still legal.And that brings me to my oft -repeated ques-
tion. Why? Why, despite a promise to enact a tethering ban a year-and-a half-ago, has Surrey still not done so? I have been asking this same question for almost a year now. But I have yet to receive an answer. Only Coun. Judy Villeneuve
gave me the courtesy of a response, but she could not provide me an answer.
As a 15-year taxpayer and resident of Sur-rey, should not my questions and concerns be responded to more promptly?
On the city website Mayor Dianne Watts states, “I believe Surrey City Council can and should be a catalyst for change and innovation. People expect leaders to lead, and if we act progressively and collaboratively we can achieve great things. I have faith in our city and its people …”
But Surrey has not led the way in humane legislation. It has not even followed the lead of other municipalities.
Mayor Watts may have faith in our city, but I for one have lost complete faith in her and her government. Th ey have turned their backs on chained dogs like Wendy whose suff ering has no end in sight. And they have turned their backs on it’s taxpayers who demand to know why.

Assign parking in Clayton
I, ALONG with other letter writers and other Clayton homeowners, have an idea for the City of Surrey engineering department on the parking and illegal suite issue in Surrey.
Th e city has been called to investi-gate illegal suites an infi nite number of times, but what really can end up happening is the kitchen cooking quarters are temporarily removed for the inspection and people point-blank lie to the bylaw offi cer about having that third profi ting suite.
Numerous and frustrated Clayton homeowners have commented on picking up the slack for inconsid-erate cheating people illegally renting and taking up all the street parking because of it. Same applies to those individuals who don`t utilize their double garages for what they are intended for – parking up to two vehicles and instead using them for storage or massive dog houses.
If every home in the congested areas of Clayton was assigned one numbered street parking spot as they do in some parts of White Rock, it may make the responsible property owners a little more sane and the irresponsible landlords with illegal multiple suites less greedy for profi t. Th at one valued parking spot could be used for either a homeowner, a guest, or even a tenant.
More people may then use their carports and driveways and still have that extra assigned street spot and even better yet, the coach homes with still have a two-car garage and the parking spot beside the coach and assigned a street spot. It may just cut down on the illegal basement suites then if they know they don’t think they can park anywhere.
Right now I see some people park-ing two cars on the street and not using their garage for this purpose and numerous illegal basement suite occupants (some from the same homes whom don’t use garages either for parking) fi lling up the streets. Not fair at all.
If we take away something that’s not deserved then it can become an eye-opener for illegal suite homeowners and responsible tax-paying homeowners who do off er off -street parking to tenants a well deserved chance to enjoy their neighbourhood.

THE TRAFFIC and detours resulting from the new city hall construction and hotel are, to say the least, an inconvenience to the local residents, but becoming the norm. However, the planning for the re-routing of traffi c needs a bit of tweaking.
Th e northbound left -turn light on University Drive at 104 Avenue blinks to no avail, as there is no left turn possible with the road closed while the eastbound cars on University Drive opposite must sit in wait against the no-left -turn until the left -turn light turns solid. Surely there is technology to change the light sequence.
Th e new island on City Parkway that prevents a left turn into the Safeway parking lot changes the driving route from residence coming along
University Drive. Either take a left at 105 Avenue to King George Boulevard, or drive along University Drive to U-turn back via 102 Avenue and then left at the light at City Parkway.
Currently there are fl ag persons out along University Drive and at times along 104 Avenue.
My reasons for writing is focused on the added congestion along 102 Avenue because of this re-directing. Th e two walkways along the small block fronting Central City Shopping Cen-tre has always been a congested at peak points, but with the added cars on the new path toward the Safeway mall, it’s a parking lot of cars being held hostage by the pedestrians. Pedestrians come fi rst, no qualms about that, how-ever, would it not make sense to hire two addi-
tional fl ag persons for peak times to allow more than one car to travel past paths of relentless pedestrians? Patience only lasts so long when on your way home to dinner.
I sat for fi ve minutes in the bottleneck and saw three cars looking for a quick way out of the traffi c by speeding through the parking lot across from the mall to get onto City Parkway. Th at can’t be safe. Why not toss us drivers an olive branch and prevent unnecessary anxi-ety with two crossing guards?
Road rage is to suggest the least eff ect... at the most, someone is going to get hurt.

RE: “DEATH of seniors partly due to failed smoke alarm: Report,” Th e Leader, Oct. 3.
My wife and I are both senior citizens with smoke alarms in our basement, bedrooms, and two in our hallway. Two because one is hard-wired and will not work if we have a power failure. Th e other one is a the typical nine-volt battery-operated unit.
On reading this story, I checked out all of our smoke detectors.
Some things to watch for are steady or fl ashing green lights on the battery-operated units. Most smoke alarms come with a push-button that gives a beep if it is still working. Others are even guaran-teed for 10 years.
If the smoke alarm gives out a chirping sound that is annoying your wife, it probably is telling you to change the nine-volt battery.
If children can run a computer, iPhone or iPad, checking out their grandparents’ smoke alarms would be child’s play – and could save a life.

LAST MONTH, a 14-year-old boy was heading back to Clayton Heights Secondary aft er lunch when he noticed he was being followed.
On Sept. 30 at about 11:45 a.m., the young teen was near Extra Foods in the 18700-block of Fraser Highway when he noticed the stranger, who approached and grabbed him briefl y.
Th e teen pushed the attacker away and ran back to school.
Th e boy was unin-jured.
Th e suspect is described as a Caucasian
male in his late 50s, about 6’1” with a slim build who was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and light blue jeans. He had a grey beard.
“Our investigators
have consulted with other specialized sections and so far, we have found no other similar reported cases. We continue to investigate,” said Sur-rey RCMP Cpl.

THE OWNER of the Surrey apartment suite where six men were executed – purportedly as part of a drug-related dispute – testifi ed in court Th urs-day that he inspected the unit six days before the murders and saw no
evidence of drug making or growing.
Caesar Tiojanco, who was the owner of suite 1505 but rented it out, took the stand Th ursday at the murder trial of three men charged in the death of six men at Balmoral Tower.
He told Justice Catherine Wedge that in early 2007, the year of the murders, he was fi rst renting the suite in Balmoral Tower to a young man who the building manager later warned him was involved with illegal activities in another suite.
Tiojanco said he kicked him out, and began renting to a woman named Desiree and her boyfriend, Raphael Baldini. Th e suite owner said he was then informed in June 2007 Desiree would be moving out and Baldini’s cousin, Chris Baldini,
would be moving in. He testifi ed Chris looked nothing like Raphael, who appeared Italian, and more closely resembled shooting victim Christo-pher Mohan.
Tiojanco said Raphael and Chris paid their rent in cash, handing him money at the door.
He said as per strata requirements, he attended suite 1505 on Oct. 13, 2007 – six days before the murders – to inspect for any evidence of drug making or grow-ing. Tiojanco said he had to check there was no tampering with the plumbing or electrical, which he did, and found nothing suspicious. Th e inspections, he said, were done every six months.
Tiojanco said he also contacted Baldini about fi replace servicing scheduled to take place in suite 1505 on Oct. 19 and Baldini told him his cousin would be home.
Surrey’s Christopher Mohan, 22, and Abbots-ford’s Ed Schellenberg, 55, were murdered in suite 1505 on Oct. 19, 2007, along with brothers Corey and Michael Lal, Eddie Narong and Ryan Bartolomeo. Police said the Lals, Narong and Bartolomeo were known to them as having drug ties, while Mohan, a resi-dent in the building, and Schellenberg, a gas fi tter working in the building that week, were innocent victims in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Th e Crown’s case against Cody Rae Hae-vischer, Matthew John-ston and Quang Vinh Th ang (Michael) Le rests on the theory that Corey Lal was the intended vic-tim of a targeted hit and that the other fi ve men were killed so there were no witnesses. Crown prosecutors contend Corey Lal was dealing drugs on the turf of Red Scorpion gang members,
including the accused, as well as one of the gang’s leaders, Jamie Bacon.
Th e Crown alleges Bacon and Le ordered Haevischer, Johnston and another person (who can’t be named) to kill Corey Lal.
While Haevischer and Johnston face six fi rst-degree murder charges, Le facing one fi rst-degree murder charge for Corey Lal’s killing. All three also face conspiracy to murder charges for Corey
Lal’s death. Th e three men entered not guilty pleas Sept. 30.
Th roughout the week, friends and family mem-bers of the deceased took the stand at the so-called Surrey Six trial.
Corey Lal’s girlfriend of two years said her boy-friend had a mechanical shop with his brother, but that she suspected he might be involved with drugs. However, she testifi ed, he was “not at all” fl ashy, never had wads of cash and she saw no evidence that he was a successful drug dealer.
Jourdane Lal, sister of Michael and Corey Lal, said Corey had a string of diff erent cellphones and seemed to have the means to buy expensive things, although he didn’t have his own car. She said Narong was Corey’s best friend and that she thought the two had some trouble with the law, perhaps for drug traffi cking.
Katie Bott, a close friend of victim Bar-tolomeo, testifi ed she believed the 19-year-old was a drug dealer, but she never talked about it with him and she didn’t do drugs herself. She said she overheard him talk-ing on the phone about dealing and saw him put drugs in bags, leave, and return with no bags.
Haevischer’s defence lawyer Simon Buck chal-lenged Bott, noting in her initial police interview
shortly aft er Bartolomeo was killed, she didn’t say anything about drugs. Bott said she had being crying all night when she spoke to police and likely forgot to mention it.
Th e Crown, however, pointed out that in her statement, Bott did refer to Bartolomeo being gone for 12 hours at a time “running,” which she explained was for a dial-a-dope operation.
Testimony closed Th ursday with Eric Akai, another friend of Bartolo-meo’s. He said he talked to his buddy of three years on the aft ernoon of his death and didn’t detect anything wrong. Th ere was no fear in Bar-tolomeo’s voice, Akai told the court, even though it was shortly before the time the Crown alleges he and the fi ve other men were murdered.
Th e trial continues this week in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. Check surreyleader.com

DELTA RESIDENT Vivian Fitzpatrick is upset that she was discharged from Delta Hospital at 2 a.m. in her pajamas last week.
Fraser Health has apologized for an inci-dent that took place Sept. 30, aft er the 90-year-old legally blind woman was put in a taxi and sent home from Delta Hospi-tal at 2 a.m.
Fitzpatrick, a resident of Tsawwassen since 1964, said she had nau-sea, a headache, a throb-bing pain in her leg, and a blood pressure reading of 206/80 around 10 p.m. Monday, so she called an ambulance. Th e para-medics came and insisted she go to Delta Hospital to get checked out.
Fitzpatrick agreed, leaving in only her pajamas and nothing on her feet.
“I just didn’t think to bring slippers,” said Fitzpatrick during an interview on Th ursday.
Her live-in caregiver immediately phoned her daughter, Paddy Munro, to let her know what was happening.
Munro didn’t drive to the hospital, since she was familiar with her mother being taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. Given the late hour, she assumed she would visit fi rst thing in the morn-ing.
Fitzpatrick was rushed to the emergency where nurses read her blood pressure, added an intravenous drip, and did blood tests and X-rays.
Aft er she was declared stable, Fitzpatrick thought she was going to get a hospital bed for the night.
“I was trying to go to sleep, I was so tired,” she said.
But when Munro called the hospital at 7 a.m. to ask if she could pick up her mother, she was shocked by the answer of the person on the other end.
“Th e person said she had departed emer-gency,” said Munro, who was fl abbergasted. “Th at’s
not a term you want to hear associated with a hospital. And I said, ‘pardon?’ “
She was transferred to another person who informed her that the discharge had happened at around 2 a.m.
Munro hung up the phone and called her mother. She couldn’t believe it when she answered.
It was around 2 a.m. when hospital nurses told Fitzpatrick she was being discharged and rolled her in a wheelchair to the waiting room as they called a cab.
“I was saying that I was freezing to death because I was so cold with no shoes,” said Fitzpatrick.
A nurse took sympa-
thy on her and gave her a white sheet to wrap around her shoulders, she added.
When the taxi arrived she said she walked out in the pouring rain and wind in nothing more than hospital socks.
Since she didn’t have any money for the taxi ride, she asked the hos-pital to call her caregiver to scrounge up some change. Fitzpatrick was worried she wouldn’t be able to pay for the ride when she got home.
During the ride, Fitzpatrick felt some-thing wet in the taxi and fi gured it was just water from the rain. But when she got home her caregiver spotted the sheet, which was covered in blood. Th e blood fl ow from intravenous drip
hadn’t been properly staunched.
Neither mother or daughter are blaming Delta Hospital, the nurses, or the doctors.
“Me and mom believe this is Fraser Health and the citizens of Delta should be asking what they’re doing to our hos-pital to have caused this to happen,” said Munro.
Fraser Health released a statement on Wednes-day apologizing for the incident.
“Fraser Health is com-mitted to ensuring the safety and well-being of our patients.
“Th is is a very unfortu-nate incident and Fraser Health has apologized to the family for any incon-venience and distress this may have caused. Out of respect for patient con-
fi dentiality, we cannot discuss the details of the case, but we can reassure the family and the public that we are taking this very seriously.
“In instances when a patient is discharged and there is no one to escort them home, Fraser Health contacts either a family member or a caregiver to make the necessary arrange-ments. At times, patients are sent home by taxi and we ensure they are met, and assisted, when they arrive.
“We are working with the family through the Patient Care and Quality Offi ce to ensure this type of situation does not occur again and appreci-ate their support and understanding through this process.”

FIRE PREVENTION & SAFETY
2013 Fire Prevention Week is all about preventing kitchen fi res. Thirtythreepercent of all fi res in BC start in the kitchen. In fact, more fi res start in the kitchen than in any other room of the house.Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling of boiling food.• If you must leave the kitchen, even for a
short time, turn off the stove.• When you are simmering, baking, or
roasting food, check it regularly, stay home and use a timer to remind yourself.
• If you have young children, use the stove's back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove.
• When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fi tting sleeves.
• Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, towels or anything else that can burn away from your stovetop.
• Clean up food and grease from the burners, stovetops and the oven.
• Don't store combustibles in drawer below the oven.
HOME FIRES• In 2011, U.S. fi re departments responded
to 370,000 home structure fi res. These fi res caused 13,910 civilian injuries, 2,520 civilian deaths, $6.9 billion in direct damage.
• On average, seven people die in U.S. home fi res per day.
• Cooking is the leading cause home fi res and home fi re injuries, followed heating equipment. Smoking is a leading cause of civilian home fi re deaths.
• Most fatal fi res kill one or two people. In 2011, 12 home fi res killed fi ve or more people resulting in a total of 67 deaths.
COOKING• U.S. Fire Departments responded to an
estimated annual average of 156,600 cooking-related fi res between 2007-2011, resulting in 400 civilian deaths, 5,080 civilian injuries and $853 million in direct damage.
• Two of every fi ve home fi res start in the kitchen.
• Unattended cooking was a factor in 34% of reported home cooking fi res.
• Two-thirds of home cooking fi res started
with ignition of food or other cooking materials.
• Ranges accounted for the 58% of home cooking fi re incidents. Ovens accounted for 16%.
• Children under fi ve face a higher risk of non-fi re burns associated with cooking than being burned in a cooking fi re.
• Microwave ovens are one of the leading home products associated with scald burn injuries not related to fi res. Nearly half (44%) of the microwave oven injuries seen at emergency rooms in 2011 were scald burns.
• Clothing was the item fi rst ignited in less than 1% of home cooking fi res, but these incidents accounted for 16% of the cooking fi re deaths.
HEATING• The leading factor
contributing to heating equipment fi res was failure to clean, principally creosote from solid fueled heating equipment, primarily chimneys.
• Portable or fi xed space heaters, including wood stoves, were involved in one-third (32%) of home heating fi res and four out of fi ve (80%) home heating deaths.
• Half of home heating fi re deaths resulted from fi res caused by heating equipment too close to things that can burn, such as upholstered furniture, clothing, mattresses or bedding.
• In most years, heating is the second
leading cause of home fi res, fi re deaths, and fi re injuries. Fixed or portable space heaters are involved in about 4 out of 5 heating fi re deaths.
SMOKING MATERIALS• During 2007-2011 smoking materials
caused an estimated 17,900 home structure fi res, resulting in 580 deaths, 1,280 injuries and $509 million in direct property damage, per year.
• Sleep was a factor in one-third of the home smoking material fi re deaths.
• Possible alcohol impairment was a factor in one in fi ve of home smoking fi re deaths.
• In recent years, Canada and the United States have required that all cigarettes sold must be “fi re safe,” that is have reduced ignition strength and less likely to start fi res.
ELECTRICAL• About
half (49%) of home electrical fi res involved electrical distribution or lighting equipment. Other leading types of equipment were washer or dryer, fan, portable or stationary space heater, air conditioning equipment water heater and range.
• Electrical failure or malfunctions caused an average of almost 50,000 home fi res per year, resulting in roughly 450 deaths and $1.5 billion in direct property damage.
CANDLES• During 2007-2011 candles caused 3% of
home fi res, 4% of home fi re deaths, 7% of home fi re injuries and 6% of direct property damage from home fi res.
• On average, there are 32 home candle fi res reported per day.
• Roughly one-third of these fi res started in the bedroom; however, the candle industry found that only 13% of candle users burn candles in the bedroom most often.
• More than half of all candle fi res start when things that can burn are too close to the candle.
ESCAPE PLANNING• According to an
NFPA survey, only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced a home fi re escape plan.
• Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, more than half never practiced it .
• One-third of Americans households who made and estimate they thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fi re in their home would become life threatening. The time available is often less. And only 8% said their fi rst thought on hearing a smoke alarm would be to get out!
SMOKE ALARMS• Almost two-thirds (62%) of reported home
fi re deaths resulted from fi res in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
• Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fi res in half.
• In fi res considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 92% of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 77% of the time.
TEN TIPS TO STAY FIRE SAFE. 1. Install at least one smoke alarm on
every level of your home, test it monthly and change the battery yearly.
2. Never leave cooking unattended. 3. Don’t overload electrical outlets. 4. Never leave candles unattended. 5. Stub cigarettes out completely and
dispose of them safely. 6. Never store gasoline indoors. 7. Prevent arson by keeping your property
clean of trash and fl ammables. 8. Keep fl ammable materials such as
curtains and furniture at least one metre away from space heaters.
9. Store matches and lighters in a child-proof drawer or cabinet.
10. Create and practice a fi re escape plan with your whole family. Get out, stay out and call 911.

Black PressSurrey’s longstanding smoke alarm strategy
is saving lives – and garnering global praise.The City of Surrey’s approach to fi re
prevention through a targeted smoke alarm giveaway program has signifi cantly reduced fi res and fi re losses in the city, and has received an international award.
Earlier this year, Surrey was awarded a 2013 Community Health and Safety Program Excellence Award by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) – which represents 9,000 local government managers around the world – for its HomeSafe program. Surrey is the only Canadian city on this year’s recipient list.
Launched in 2008, HomeSafe uses local fi re and demographic data to target fi re hot spots for door-to-door fi refi ghter visits and smoke alarm giveaways.
Formal evaluation of its fi rst two years showed a 64-per-cent reduction in the annual rate of fi res for HomeSafe houses – approximately 4.4 times greater than the reduction (15 per cent) observed in other high-risk homes over the same period.
The program also cut fi re losses in half, increased smoke alarm activations by 169 per cent, and reduced fi re size and spread.
HomeSafe identifi es Surrey neighbourhoods with the greatest fi re risk and to date has sent fi refi ghters to more than 40,000 homes to educate residents about fi re safety and offer to
install a free smoke alarm. The cost-effective program leverages existing resources and community sponsorship, and can be easily adapted by other communities.
The ICMA’s Community Health and Safety Program Excellence Awards recognize local government programs or processes that demonstrate innovation, excellence, and success in the community’s safety, health and/or wellness, including enhancement in the quality of life for the disadvantaged.
Surrey received its award at the ICMA annual conference in Boston, Mass.last month.
Surrey’s HomeSafe program has also served as a launching point for a province-wide working smoke alarm campaign, coordinated by the Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C. and supported by the provincial government.
Launched in March 2012, the
campaign is already exceeding expectations, with 44 per cent fewer residential fi re deaths and 5.1 per cent fewer residential fi res reported in its fi rst year.

POLICE HAVE made an arrest in the murder of 21-year-old Taylor Johnson of Delta.
A 23-year-old Surrey man has been arrested and is fac-ing murder charges in the death of Johnson. He was found shot to death on Feb. 26 in a home in the 2000-block of 200 Street in Lang-ley which contained a mari-juana grow-op. Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is saying the motive for the murder was a grow rip.
“The accused and Taylor
did not know each other,” said IHIT’s Sgt. Jennifer Pound. “This was a senseless act.”
Johnson’s parents Paul and Wendi Johnson spoke to media about their son at a press con-ference on Thursday in Surrey.
“It’s a horrific experience losing a child, but when you throw in the word murder it brings in terror,” said Paul, a pastor at South Delta Baptist Church.
Pound said Johnson was a “good kid,” adding “he was
naive and made a bad deci-sion that cost him his life.”
He was found dead in the home after Langley RCMP received a call ask-ing them to check on the well-being of a man staying at the residence. When they attended, they found him dead, and also found a marijuana grow-op on the property.
Paul Johnson told Black Press in March that his son had been house-sitting at the Langley home.
Taylor Johnson was an avid
sports enthusiast, playing rugby at South Delta Second-ary when he attended there, and previously at Tucson High School in Arizona. He also enjoyed snowboarding, ice hockey and baseball.
“He was the kind of kid that was really well-liked by all of his friends,” said Paul Johnson. “He was a very endearing, very soft-hearted kid.”
He had been attending the Nimbus School of Recording Arts to pursue a career in music and was due to gradu-ate last March.

THREE MEN have been sent to jail for their part in a marijuana grow operation in Langley City.
In October 2008, the Langley RCMP Drug
Section was notifi ed by BC Hydro about a power theft occurring at a residence in the 5200 block of 201A Street. A week later, Langley drug offi cers executed a search warrant and located a
marijuana grow opera-tion, with an additional 1,087 clone plants on the bottom fl oor of the residence.
On Sept. 13, Jason James Bailey, 33, of Delta, Ryan Orian Wedman, 43, of Lang-ley and Mark Perkins, 40, of Delta were sen-tenced to jail time. Th e three were convicted on May 31.
Wedman was con-victed of production, possession for the purpose of traffi cking and theft of electricity. Bailey and Perkins were production and posses-sion for the purpose of traffi cking. Th ey were acquitted of theft of hydro charges.
Th e three were care-takers of the grow-op.
Wedman was sen-tenced to 18 months in jail, and also received a restitution order to BC Hydro in the amount of $1,477. Bailey received a 15-month jail sentence and Perkins received an 18-month sentence.
Both Wedman and Perkins received lifetime fi rearms prohi-bitions as part of their sentences.

THE SON of the man widely credited for Delta’s fi rst Fraser River crossing into Richmond wants to see his father’s life work saved from demolition.
Doug Massey, a for-mer municipal council-lor, says he doesn’t want the new bridge renamed aft er his father, George Massey.
“It doesn’t refl ect my father’s wishes or dreams,” he said. “He wasn’t responsible for a bridge being built, he was responsible for the tunnel being built.”
Massey has started an online petition to retain the George Massey Tun-nel aft er the new cross-ing is built and it has received 83 signatures since Sept. 23. He plans on beginning a paper petition as well.
If the tunnel is saved it could be used as a direct access from Ladner to Richmond and also as an express route for emergency vehicles, said Massey.
“Th e present tunnel doesn’t allow for bicycles but if you left it you could have one lane for pedestrians and bicycles and the other for rapid transit,” he said.
Massey has numer-ous concerns about the new bridge, including the length of approach that will be required
for elevation gain and whether the tunnel will have to be closed during construction on the same footprint.
“As far as I’m con-cerned a tunnel would be more logical for that sec-tion of the area because the ground level is so fl at,” said Massey.
It’s an opinion that was passed down to him from his father.
When George Massey arrived in Delta from Ireland in 1936 he would take the ferry from Cap-tain’s Cove to Richmond and ask people why there wasn’t a tunnel from Deas Island.
Th at idea went against the conventional wisdom at the time–that a bridge would eventually be built there, an idea supported by local businesses and the New Westminster Harbour Board.
But George Massey worked tirelessly to convince the people of Delta and Richmond that a tunnel made the most sense because it would have a much smaller footprint than a bridge, and he devoted the rest of his life to seeing it hap-pen. Massey’s plans for the tunnel were inspired by the construction of the Maastunnel in Rot-terdam, Netherlands.
He formed the Lower Fraser River Crossing Improvement Associa-tion and developed maps explaining why a tunnel
made the most sense. Aft er being elected MLA to represent Delta in 1956 he managed to con-vince the legislature, too.
In 1967, three years aft er his death, Rich-mond city council led the call to rename the tunnel to honour George Massey’s work.
Doug Massey said he agrees that Delta needs another crossing but had assumed it would be from Tilbury Island. He said the tunnel was designed to last 100 years and still has
a lot of use left .Th e only problem is
that it was designed to traffi c conditions in 1959 and doesn’t have enough lanes, he added.
Doug Massey said the new bridge is only being built so the channel can be dredged deeper for coal and oil exports.
“Th e intended purpose should always be to move people but it’s for ships and trucks,” he said, add-ing the tunnel is a road block for the federal and provincial government to
move raw materials.On Sept. 20, Premier
Christy Clark announced a new bridge will replace the Massey Tunnel and work will begin in 2017.
Although no announcement has been made on tolls, they are expected to be imple-mented as they were for the Golden Ears and Port Mann bridges. Th e Massey Tunnel opened with tolls in 1959 and continued until the con-struction costs were paid off in 1964.

A SURREY man has pleaded guilty to six off ences in relation to what police call an “identity theft factory.”
In May, Surrey RCMP searched a home in the 18000-block of 96 Avenue, dismantling the identity theft operation.
At the time, investigators believed fake credit cards were being manufactured from stolen identities.
Hundreds of stolen and fake cards and pieces of identifi cation were seized, including credit cards, gift cards, Social Insurance Number cards, BCID cards, B.C. driver’s licences, CareCards, birth certifi cates, and Canadian passports.
Investigators also seized stolen mail, cheques and identifi cation, as well as documents that contained stolen personal identifi cation and information on them.
On Sept. 13, Surrey’s Timothy Bradly Moisan, 40, pleaded guilty to six off ences in relation to the opera-tion.
Th e off ences include three counts of possession of stolen property, possess instruments to forge/falsify credit cards, identity theft , and deal with identity theft without lawful excuse.
“Understanding the impact that identity theft and frauds can have on their victims, the successful con-clusion of this investigation is extremely rewarding,” said Surrey RCMP Staff -Sgt Marty Blais.
Moisan was sentenced to a two-year conditional sentence order and two months of probation.

THEY WERE looking for a sweep to stay atop the BC Hockey Major Midget League stand-ings, but the Valley West Hawks dropped a 5-3 decision to the South Island Royals Sunday morning in Victoria, and settled for a split of their two-game series on Vancouver Island.
Th e loss dropped the Hawks’ record to 2-4 (won-lost), and with both the Okanagan Rockets and Vancouver Giants winning twice on the weekend to improve to 5-1, Valley West now sits third in
the 11-team league for elite 15-17 year-old players.
Th e Hawks fell behind early in Sun-day’s game but couldn’t pull even with the home side, which was looking for its fi rst win aft er drive losses to start the season.
A pair of goals in the fi nal fi ve minutes of the opening period gave the Royals a 2-0 lead aft er 20 minutes. It was 3-0 midway through the game before Luke Gingras of Langley net-ted the fi rst score of the game for Valley West, then fi ve minutes later Matt Bradley of Surrey
pulled the visitors to within one.
South Island made it 4-2 with a goal in the last minute of the second period.
White Rock’s Davis Koch tallied with six minutes to go to put Valley West within one for the second time in the game, but an empty net goal in the fi nal minute clinched the fi rst win of the season for the Royals.
Koch also had an assist, while Surrey’s Paul Savage and Eric Callegari of Langley each had a pair of assists.
In Saturday night’s win, it was Valley West taking an early 2-0 lead and staying in front the rest of the way. Surrey forward Mitch Newsome and Bradley opened the scoring, and aft er South Island got their fi rst of the game, Savage made it 3-1.
Th e Royals made it 3-2 aft er one period, and traded goals with Valley West in the sec-ond, with Paul Smith of White Rock scoring for the Hawks.
Jesse Lansdell (Lang-ley) and Jordan Funk (Cloverdale) found the net for the Hawks in the third period. Funk also had two assists to fi nish with a game-high three points.
Th e Hawks will play twice against the 204 Vancouver Canadians next weekend, fac-ing off at 10:15 a.m. Saturday at the Langley Events Centre and 10 a.m. Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club.

PLAYING THREE games in three nights is a tall order for any hockey team, and last weekend the task was too tough for the Surrey Eagles.
Th e defending BCHL champs dropped all three games of their Mainland Division triple-header, falling twice to the Langley Rivermen – on Friday, 4-3, and Saturday, 5-1 – before losing 5-1 to the Coquitlam Express Sunday evening at South Surrey Arena.
“It was obviously not the results we wanted in any of the three games,” said Eagles head coach/general manager Peter Schaefer.
Th e three losses dropped the Eagles below .500 for the fi rst time this season – they sport a 5-6 win-loss record – and they’re now fourth in the Mainland Divison, fi ve points back of the fi rst-place Rivermen.
And while playing three in a row can be a grueling endeavour, Schaefer insisted that fatigue wasn’t part of the problem. In fact, he said the reason for the loss was, ironically, that his team didn’t really play three full games.
“We just never put a full 60 minutes together any of the nights,” he said. “We would have spurts here and there where we played well, but it wasn’t enough.”
Surrey’s best eff ort, according to the fi rst-year head coach, came
in Sunday’s loss to Coquitlam in which the Eagles outshot the visitors 43-32, but could only beat Express goaltender Gordie Defi el once – a Nic Pierog shorthanded marker in the fi nal minute of the second period.
“Our best game was defi nitely the third one, so I can’t really explain that,” Schaefer said. “It might’ve been a bit of desperation, and guys not wanting to lose (three in a row). But that’s how we’re going to have to play if we want to win.”
In Friday’s 4-3 loss to Langley, the Rivermen pounced on the home team and led 4-1 aft er 40 minutes, before Surrey mounted a comeback in the third period, scoring twice – Danton Heinen notched a power-play goal 3:29 into the third, and captain Brett Mulcahy made it 4-3 with just 11 seconds left in the game. Th e Eagles’ fi rst goal was scored by Pierog, who also assisted on Heinen’s tally.
Victor Adamo was between the pipes for Surrey, stopping 21 of 25 Langley shots.
On Saturday, the two clubs renewed hostilities in Langley, and the game was much the same, with the Rivermen jumping out to a lead and holding on for the win.
James Robinson had three assists for Langley, and Austin Azurdia and Will Cook each had a goal and an assist.
Th e Eagles’ lone goal came from Michael Roberts, who scored fi ve minutes into the third period.
Being the reigning Fred Page Cup champions has also put a tar-get on the Eagles’ backs through the opening month of the season, Schaefer added – giving his play-ers even more motivation to play their best.
“It’s not going to be easy for us in any game – teams are ready for us,” he said. “And we’ve had a few diff erent individuals step up in diff erent games, but that’s not enough. At the end of the day, we didn’t get any points this weekend, so we all have to be better.”
Th e Eagles will have the opportunity to get back into the win column Friday, but it won’t be easy – they host the Powell River Kings, who currently lead the BCHL’s Island Division with an 8-1 record.
On Saturday, Surrey returns to the Langley Events Centre for another game against the Rivermen.
