note: I Wm^Z^TT^^ nJJ.1,,,- I VIOLENT SUSPECTS RELEASE Feds to hear town's fears ALDERGROVE - Federal revenue minister David Anderson has promised to take up die issue of an Abbotsford sexual assault suspect who was released from custody shortly after being arrested for a violent attack on a woman in Aldergrove early in January. Township mayor John Scholtens said he brought die issue to Anderson's attention, during a meeting in Surrey, Feb. 3, and Anderson said he shared die concern over Uie "rapid release" and would bring it to the attention of Liberal caucus in Ottawa- this week. The victim was assaulted repeatedly for 90 minutes in an Aldergrove parking lot on the evening of Jan. 3. A suspect was arrested at home the next day, held overnight and released at a Jan. 5 court hearing, pending his next court appearance. The controversy was sparked by Langley-RCMP superintendent Rick McMartin, who complained that the suspect was released within hours of arrest when he knew the victiin's identity and her address. Township council formally complained to the Premier and Attorney-General, and B.C. Liberal critic Jeremy Dalton has pursued die matter in Victoria, calling on crown counsel to appeal the suspect's release from custody. The Attorney-General's office has refused to comment on the case, although Premier Mike Harcourt has since promised new legislation this year to better protect the rights of victims and their families. Anthony Hillmer (holding sign) and, in random order, Connie Johnson, Erin Schinger, Bryan Karol, Ken Watchman, Dustin Hillman, Erin Thompson, Shantell Smish, Mark Lanfranco and Keller Neault cheered on the Thunder, Friday Night. Chilliwack Chiefs edged the Thunder 5-4 in a shootout, after on^fjve minute overtime period. Friday was the team's only shootout loss this season. -Tim Attwood photo. ..■■:-"jM'--'.~ Flesh-eating disease hits Reform MP White By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Fraser Valley West MP Randy White has been afflicted with the same flesh- …
