Th e man who killed a hockey mom in Newton two-and-a-half years ago has received a 10-year prison sentence for the crime.
On Friday (May 22), Yosef Jomo Gopaul, 28, was also given a two-year sentence for the violent robbery of a diff erent woman two weeks before the Dec. 29, 2013 killing of Julie Paskall.
Gopaul was originally charged with second-degree murder.However, evidence revealed Paskall had a heart condition
and suff ered a heart attack, likely brought on by a blow to the head that forced her to the ground, where she fractured her skull.
Gopaul pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
In an agreed statement of facts read by Crown counsel Wendy Stephen, Gopaul approached Paskall on Dec. 29, 2013. Paskall had driven her Dodge Caravan into the Newton Wave Pool parking lot at 7120 136B St. to pick up her son at the Newton ice arena.
As she walked toward the arena, she was struck by Gopaul on the back or side of her head with a 1.2 kg (2.6 pound) rock, about the size of a grapefruit, causing her to fall face down in the parking lot with her arms by her side.

Paskall was taken to Surrey Memorial Hospital and put on life support.
Two days later, medical staff determined she was brain dead. She was later removed from life support at the family’s request and died.
Based on DNA evidence from the rock, police suspected Gopaul. Th ey ran a so-called “Mr. Big” operation on Feb. 11 where police undercover operatives pose as crime bosses.
Th e investigators got Gopaul to lead them to where he threw the purse into a cedar bush at 139 Street and 76 Avenue.
Gopaul consistently said he had no intention of seriously hurting Paskall. He just wanted knock her out long enough to take her purse.
He also told the “crime boss” that he robbed another woman two weeks earlier. Evidence at trial showed the slight Asian woman suff ered a broken nose and several other injuries when Gopaul took her cell phone and some money.
Gopaul was arrested on May 23, 2014.Stephen pointed to several aggravating factors in Gopaul’s case,
including that he preyed on vulnerable people and “lived a life of crime” since he was 16.
Mitigating factors included his guilty plea, a troubled background and that he is remorseful.
Prior to Gopaul’s sentencing, family and friends of Paskall deliv-ered emotional victim impact statements.
Paskall’s husband, Al, delivered a tearful statement to the court-room, saying a day doesn’t go by where he doesn’t miss his wife of 30 years.
Th ey were just getting ready for retirement, where they could enjoy each other’s company fully, he said.
“In one selfi sh act, Mr. Gopaul took our future away – what gave him the right to do that?” Paskall asked. “I still wake up thinking she’s right there beside me. I catch myself talking to her.
“What’s my life now? I have no life, I just exist.”He said he dreams of the chance to have another moment with
her.“I would give everything I have in life for fi ve more minutes with
her, I would tell her a thousand more times how much I loved her,” he said.
Julie’s daughter Rhiannon, who has cerebral palsy, also gave an emotional statement to the court.
“She was my best friend and my hero,” Rhian-non said. “From the time that I was born, my mom dedicated her entire life to me as well as my siblings.”
While still and expressionless for most of the sentencing hearing, Gopaul was visibly upset hearing the victim impact statements.
He apologized to the family from the prison-er’s box.
“I never thought the blood of someone else would be on my hands,” Gopaul said, “I know most of you hate me, but I have to let you know how truly sorry I am.”
Crown counsel spokesperson Neil MacKenzie said outside court that there was no choice but to reduce the charge and secure a guilty plea.
Because it was ultimately Paskall’s heart condition that caused her death, and intent would be diffi cult to prove, a murder charge would likely be unsuccessful, MacKenzie said.
Gopaul was given credit for the 18 months he’s already spent in pretrial custody, leaving 10-and-a-half years remaining of his sentence.

A glitch in the system is being blamed for the demolition of a heritage site in Cloverdale.
Th e Brown house at 17555 56 Ave., listed on the city’s heritage inventory, was torn down in January, according to minutes from a recent Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission meeting.
“Due to a glitch in the system, the heritage status of the Brown House was not noted by staff and thus not referred to the commission for comment,” it says. “Staff noted they are investigating the cause of the glitch and will work to rectify the issue.”
Th e Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce had hoped the house would be saved. Th e late Bill Reid, past exec-utive director of the Chamber of Com-merce, said in 2013 he hoped the Brown house would be moved, and possibly used as heritage offi ce space.
“Th is is the last bastion of heritage homes in the core of Cloverdale at the moment,” Reid said, referring to other recent losses in the historic town centre.
According to the City of Surrey, a list-

Shots rang out again in Newton on the weekend, this time just an hour before a peace march calling for an end to recent violence was to begin.
On Sunday (May 24) at about 8 p.m., Surrey RCMP were called to the 13400-block of 70B Avenue to a report of gunfi re. Police found evidence shots had been fi red, but no injuries were reported.
It’s the 31st shooting in Surrey and Delta in about two months, half of which are believed to be connected to rival dial-a-dope operators fi ghting over turf.
Th e shooting came just an hour before a peace march planned by an award-winning
local fi lmmaker.Mani Amar, who made the documentary
“A Warrior’s Religion,” a fi lm examining South Asian gang life, held the peace march at 9 p.m. at 120 Street and 72 Avenue. Amar turned to Twitter just as the shots rang out in Newton.
“Apparently another shooting in Newton. Don’t let Gangsterism win. Come march for PEACE.”
Prior to the march he said something as simple as a walk can make a world of change.
“It is our innate and moral duty to help bring awareness to issues that affl ict us,” Amar said. “Youth and gang violence have once again run rampant in our cities and
I plead for everyone’s help and support by simply walking.”
Amar’s documentary featured the fi rst on-camera interview granted by notorious gangster Bal Buttar. It won Best Documen-tary honours at the Sikh International Film Festival in New York in 2009.
As of Monday afternoon, police said the in-vestigation into the shooting was in its early stages and offi cers were still trying to deter-mine if the incident was linked to any of the previous shootings in Surrey and Delta.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers , at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca to remain anonymous.

ing on the city’s heritage reg-ister isn’t the same as heritage protection or designation – a building can only be protect-ed through a bylaw, heritage revitalization agreement or restrictive covenant.
Th e owner may redevelop the site or make alterations; howev-er, if a demolition or alteration is proposed, the City of Surrey can place an order for tempo-rary protection up to 60 days, initiating a process where the site can be looked at in more detail, and discussions with the owner can take place.
Th ere are approximately 200 places listed on the Surrey Heritage Register and just over 60 protected heritage sites, including a number in Clover-dale and area: the 1881 town hall at 17635 60 Ave. on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds (home to the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum); the 1912 municipal hall at 17671 56 Ave., which houses the Surrey Archives; and both Christ Church and
Christ Church Cemetery on Old McClellan Road (next to the Surrey Centre Cemetery).
Although it had been listed on the Community Heritage Reg-istry in 1998, heritage status also didn’t save the Cloverdale United Church manse at 6533 168 St. Demolition permits for three structures on the proper-ty, including the manse (clergy house), built in 1905, were issued, according to heritage advisory commission minutes.
In that case, the heritage fl ag wasn’t noted by staff because there were diff erent addresses for each of the structures, and a demolition permit was issued without the commission’s knowledge.
Th e George E. Lawrence House at 18431 Fraser Hwy. was protected by a heritage re-vitalization agreement requir-ing the developer of a town-house complex to restore the 1908 home as a condition of development. It originally be-longed to a city councillor who served in 1905 and 1906, and was part of a property that has been turned into a town home
development called Mackenzie Estates.
Developers the Mann Group were planning to relocate the building to another part of the property for use as an amenity building and completely restore the home. However, engi-neers hired by the developer wouldn’t sign off on moving the building, which was declared unsafe by WorkSafe BC. Th e city subsequently agreed to allow the developer to demolish the home and build an exact replica – along with an added incentive.
Th e developer has put up $100,000 in securities and bonding, refl ecting the loss of heritage.
“Th ey’ve put up security equal to the cost of the building,” said Don Luymes, manager of com-munity planning with the City of Surrey. “Th ey’ve built the foundation, they just haven’t built the replica yet.”
Luymes noted building permits phase two of the development are dependent on the replica George E. Lawrence home being built.

TransLink declared all transit service free on Friday after a small fi re shut down SkyTrain service on the Expo Line for 13 hours, causing major delays on the morning commute.
An errant spark from a crew using grinders to maintain the track landed in a bird’s nest that caught fi re around 11 p.m. and then burned about a metre of critical SkyTrain communications cable.
Service was halted between Joyce Station and Waterfront until nearly noon Friday.
Track grinding is rou-tine to keep the track in good condition and SkyTrain noise levels down.
“It’s a freak incident,” TransLink interim CEO Doug Allen said. “But obviously we’re having a look at the nesting through the system and we’re looking at restraining sparks from grinders.”
Bird netting is used in strategic areas to keep birds from nest-ing near the tracks, but it wasn’t in place on this section as it hadn’t been identifi ed as a problem area.
TransLink apologized to passengers for the inconvenience and said free transit on Friday was a gesture of goodwill.
“Th eir time is priceless, at least we can respond with free service for the day in question,” Allen said.
TransLink is also considering how to compensate people with monthly passes, as well as those who paid for tickets Friday – they’re advised to hang onto them.
Allen defended the response of TransLink staff to this shutdown as “very, very good” and many passengers said TransLink com-munications was much better than during two lengthy shutdowns last summer.
Extra buses shuttled passengers around the closed section of line and they were also urged to take buses west on major Van-couver arteries to the Canada Line.

Daryl Dela Cruz is a voice cry-ing in the wilderness “prepare ye the way for SkyTrain.”
He is the only one, along with his supporters, who makes any sense.
King George SkyTrain station is already sitting on the Fraser Highway, and it is only a matter of extending it along the Fraser Highway all the way to Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford and terminating in Chilliwack.
Buses or LRT could still be used to go north or south from SkyTrain stations, such as south on King George to White Rock, as well as north from Fleetwood to Guildford. Cloverdale could be connect-ed with SkyTrain at ground level by bus, or LRT from the intersection of Fraser Highway and Highway 15. Th is would shorten the commute trip for everyone.
Th e cost of SkyTrain from King George station to Langley,
is about equal to the cost of LRT from King George to New-ton and from Surrey Centre SkyTrain to Guilford.
Th is SkyTrain extension will
eventually get built anyway in the future. Why not do it now?

Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest eff ort to secure its fi rst major liquefi ed natural gas deal, announced last week.
Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacifi c North-west LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years.
Th e government says the deal guaran-tees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term.
Pacifi c Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petro-nas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state fi rm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum.
Th ese corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases.
Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax increase or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not.
NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being off ered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert.
“My biggest concern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said.
Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his prediction that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge green-fi eld projects across B.C.
For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. Th ere are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping
facilities.Th is isn’t just a political dispute. For
example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in northeastern B.C., and Petronas took it over with this develop-ment in mind. Without exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and demand.
Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal.
Pacifi c Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to ques-tions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years.
Th e vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a sus-pension bridge over the most sensitive
salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environ-mental mitigation work, that answer may change.
Does aboriginal title off er a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public.
Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations aff ected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant.
Th e Nisga’a Nation has identifi ed four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert.
Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and
columnist for Black Press.
I would like to comment on what Daryl Dela Cruz said in Friday’s (May 22) paper about LRT and SkyTrain.
So he claims a SkyTrain to Langley and rapid transit buses for all other corridors is best, saying “Light rail on King George would be only one minute faster than the existing 96 B-line express to Newton.”
Th at must be the dumbest thing I’ve heard about this subject. For one thing I’ve been on that bus when an accident has happened and it takes almost an hour to get from King George station to Newton.
Th e LRT has zero traffi c so it doesn’t matter if there’s 10 accidents a day it will always take roughly 15 minutes to go from King George to Newton.

INBOX6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday May 27 2015
I am writing to respond to information pub-lished in a recent article regarding Woodfi bre LNG (“Metro Vancouver board votes to oppose oil pipeline,” May 15).
Woodfi bre LNG Limited is proposing to build a liquefi ed natural gas processing and export facility at the site of a former pulp mill, about seven kilometres from Squamish. If our project is approved and built, it would bring an LNG (liquiefi ed natural gas) carrier along established shipping lanes in Howe Sound about three to four times each month, not twice per day as suggested in the article.
Th ese LNG carriers are designed for the safe transport of LNG, including complex contain-ment systems and double-hull protection. In fact, in the more than 50 years LNG has been shipped around the world, there has never been a recorded incident involving a loss of contain-ment of an LNG carrier at sea.
In addition, each LNG carrier arriving at the Woodfi bre LNG terminal will be escorted by at least three tugboats, one of which will be teth-ered, and piloted by two BC Coast Pilots who are experts on our coast.

Th e one-year ap-pointment was made by Health Minister Terry Lake, who cited Johal’s unique skill set and international and local media experience.
“His strong ties to the South Asian com-munity and his cultural background will allow him to provide an important perspective to the board around health care needs of the people served in Fraser Health,” Lake said.

A Surrey man has been found guilty of manslaughter in connection with the shooting death of another man during a 2012 home invasion.
Russell Atma Bidesi, 24, was on trial for the death of Kacey Rogers. Bidesi was charged with second-degree murder, but last Tuesday (May 19), a B.C. Supreme Court judge found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
At the opening of Bidesi’s trial last Octo-ber, the Crown alleged Rogers’ killing result-ed from a planned robbery gone wrong. Prosecutors claimed Bidesi and two other men, Fabien Lyde and Joshua Martinez, went to Rogers’ duplex on Grosvenor Road in Whalley, where they intended to commit a home invasion and robbery.
When they arrived, Crown contended, Bidesi fi red several shotgun rounds into the front door. When Rogers, 31, looked out a window to investi-gate the noise, he was shot in the head and killed.
Th e court heard the assailants continued to enter the home,
where they confronted Rogers’ girlfriend, took some cash and fl ed.
Lyde earlier pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced in 2014 to six years prison. Martinez also pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a fi rearm and four other fi rearms charges. He was sentenced to seven years jail. Both were given credit for time spent in pretrial custody.
Bidesi’s next court date on the Rogers case is scheduled for May 28. He’ll be sentenced at a later date.
Bidesi is also charged with second degree murder in the 2011 shooting death of Bradley McPherson at a party Christmas Eve in Surrey. Th at trial was to begin in Febru-ary, but was adjourned to an unspecifi ed later date.

Surrey Mounties are looking for help putting the brakes on a series of taxi cab robberies in the last month.
Since April 3, Surrey RCMP have responded to fi ve separate robber-ies of taxi cab drivers in Guildford.
While the inci-dents haven’t been conclusively linked, the methods used by the perpetrators are similar.
On all occasions, the drivers were lured by unknown persons to
non-existent addresses and then robbed at knife point.
Money and personal belongings were taken, but only two minor injuries were reported.
“Police are concerned that the perpetrators’ behaviour will esca-late,” said RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Not only is the threat of violence worrisome, but these hard work-ing drivers can lose a substantial amount of wages due to a rob-bery.”
Th e suspects have used disguises to conceal their identities, however, one suspect is described as a black man, approximately 5’9” to 6’0” tall and muscular. Another is a white man, 5’10” to 6’2”, about 28 to 30
years old, slim, possi-bly with a short, brown beard, wearing a black sweatshirt with brown elbow patches and red pyjama pants.
Th e third suspect is a Caucasian woman, 5’5” to 5’7” tall, about 30 years old, medium build, brown, mid back length hair, black clothing.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stop-pers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca

Surrey concrete con-tractor David Jorge is $100,000 richer after winning the Master-Chef Canada fi nale on the weekend.
Jorge cooked his way through 15 episodes of challenges and varied ingredients to rise to the Top 2 in the televi-sion competition that began with 49 home cooks from across the country.
On Sunday evening, he faced off against Moncton’s Line Pelleti-er. Th e two engaged in a three-course culinary battle, trying to wow the trio of judges and their tastebuds.
While Pelletier won the appetizer round, Jorge’s main course of wild boar belly with geoduck clams and his lemon curd parfait dessert pulled him ahead of his competi-tion, earning him the MasterChef title.
Jorge goes home with $100,000, a trophy and the op-portunity to fulfill a longtime dream.
“I am honoured to be named Canada’s next MasterChef, as there were so many worthy home cooks in the kitchen this season,” said Jorge.
“It has been my life-long dream to open a restaurant, and now I can make it a reali-ty – all thanks to the support of my family and friends.”

Lee excels in rookie season in Albany
RICK KUPCHUK
In her first season at the University of Albany, Annie Son-geun Lee has helped make school history.
The Surrey na-tive was part of the Albany Great Danes golf team which won the school’s first-ev-er Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) champion-ship last month in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Lee, a graduate of Pacific Academy, was not just part of the team. She was its top player, winning the MAAC individual title and claiming rookie of the Year Honours, leading the five-mem-ber Great Danes group to an 11-stroke victory in the three-round tournament.
After a first-round 76, she shot two rounds of 75 for a three-day score of 226, three strokes better than the run-ner-up.
After a strong performance in the MAAC fall season, Lee was told by Albany coach Colleen Cashman-McSween she should be a con-tender for the Rookie of the Year title, and possibly the confer-ence championship as well.
“After the fall season, my coach said I had a chance. There weren’t a lot of freshmen who scored as well as I did,” said Lee. “After the second day, I was in second place by one stroke.”
Changing weather conditions in Florida on the final day of play proved a chal-lenge for some golf-ers, but not Lee.
“Overall, the players at the top didn’t score as well on the last day. It was windy, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy,” she said. “Coming from
Surrey, I’ve played golf in the rain all the
time. Wind and rain isn’t a problem, so it
was an advantage for me.
“After nine holes, I was even, and every-one else was at least three-over. After I birdied 18, my coach told me I had won.”
At the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) regional tournament in St. George, Utah, Albany didn’t fare as well as a team, plac-ing last among the 18 teams competing.
Lee, who again had the low score on the team, is already look-ing forward to next season.
“Next year, I want to win the conference again and go to the NCAA regionals,” she said. “I didn’t play as well as I could, I was nervous going up against the big schools like Stanford
and Colorado.”As successful as she
is on the golf course, she has achieved as much in the class-room, posting a 3.88 grade point average while taking business courses with a goal of becoming an account-ing major.
“Education always comes first, and our coach doesn’t push us to practice golf,” said Lee. “And when we do practice, when we’re
done she says ‘go do your homework.’ “
When she wasn’t offered the full ride scholarship she was hoping for from other NCAA schools, Lee thought she would be headed to the University of British Columbia.
But Cash-man-McSween con-tacted her in October of her Grade 12 year, and asked Lee to con-sider the University of Albany. She didn’t take long to decide to attend college in the state capital of New York.
“I just thought the people here are real nice, and it’s mul-ticultural, a lot like home. I knew I would do well in golf and academics.”

Three-year contract for Hammond
Andrew Hammond, who backstopped an unlikely late-season charge into the Na-tional Hockey League (NHL) playoff s, has signed a three-year $4.05 million contract with the Ottawa Sen-ators of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Th e goaltender from Surrey signed as a free agent with the Senators in 2013 after a collegiate career at Bowling Green Univer-sity. He spent most of his pro career with the Binghamton Senators of the American Hock-ey League, but after injuries to Ottawa’s top two goaltenders, found himself in the role as an NHL starter in mid-February.
Ottawa was 14 points out of a playoff posi-tion on Feb. 10, but a 20-1-2 (win-loss-over-time loss) record, Ham-mond led the Senators into the playoff s. A former Surrey Eagle of the BC Hockey League, Hammond posted a 1.79 goals against average and a .941 save percentage in the 23 games as a starter.
He is also one of the NHL’s three nominees for the Masterton Tro-phy, which is awarded to the player who best exemplifi es the qual-ities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication
