DRUG VICTIMS WEREN'T HARDCORE JUNKIES
The overdose deaths of two recreational drug users bare risks involved
in
narcotics.
The overdose deaths of two friends during a Christmas party is a
reminder
that street drugs kill not just hardcore junkies, but also ordinary
working people who only occasionally dabble in narcotics, the victims'
friends and families said Monday.
Although fatal overdoses are an everyday event in Vancouver's
povertystricken Downtown Eastside, among the drug users who died last
week
were two men in their 20s and 30s who had jobs, families and futures.
A
third man who was with them is in critical condition, and has suffered
brain damage.
Chris Rigby was a 26yearold employee of Coast Wholesale Appliance in
Vancouver. Johnnie Prizmic, 31, worked as a drywaller and played the
drums
in local bands. Mike Stokes, 25, a computer programmer, remains in
hospital. He has a fiveyearold son.
``They were all successful young men. They just drew the wrong card,''
said
Rigby's father, Barry. ``We still don't have all of the details but
from
what we can gather they basically thought that they bought cocaine and
it
wasn't.''
Vancouver police issued a warning Monday about the quality of local
street
drugs after the overdose deaths of seven people in a 24hour period
beginning Thursday. There were also deaths Saturday and Monday,
bringing
the total body count since Thursday to nine.
Donald Marion, 39, was found Thursday in a rooming house in the unit
block
of East Hastings. David Fulton, 39, overdosed in his apartment in the
1200block Harwood and died Friday at St. Paul's Hospital.
Also on Friday, John Andor, 39, died in a rooming house in the
300block
Princess, which police described as a wellknown flophouse. Curtis
Grintals, 35, died Saturday in his apartment in the 1300block Harwood.
Another man who died early Monday has not been named.
The deaths have not yet been explained. Coroner Liana Wright has
ordered a
rush on toxicology tests to determine what mix of drugs the victims
were
using. Drugs such as cocaine and heroin sometimes increase in potency
as
rival gangs compete and try to get more people addicted.
Wright said although most people think only hardcore addicts overdose,
it's not uncommon for socalled recreational users for example,
someone
who uses drugs once a month to die, although it is unusual to see so
many in such a short period.
``Generally speaking most people really don't realize how dangerous
that
game is, and hopefully with all the media coverage these deaths have
received this weekend, it's helped drive the message home to at least
some
people.''
Rigby and Prizmic were celebrating the Christmas holidays with Stokes
in
his apartment at 800 East Eight Ave. when they apparently decided to
buy
drugs. Rigby and Prizmic injected the drug, while Stokes snorted it,
said
their close friend Ron Sander.
Ray Prizmic said his brother, who he described as a ``gentle giant,''
was
an occasional user. He said someone must have sold him drugs that were
more
potent than he was led to believe.
``In my mind these guys were murdered,'' he said. ``It's no different
than
buying a gun and it exploding in your face because it's a faulty
product.
It's my opinion that they were murdered.''
Sander also called the deaths ``murders. [The dealers] knew what the
hell
they were doing. and they should pay the penalty for murder. But it'll
never happen. That's the sad part about this is how can these people
be on
the streets selling st that's killing people?''
Barry Rigby said his son was an avid sports fan who loved the
Vancouver
Canucks and the Grizzlies, and who worked hard at his job. ``He was
salesman of the year for The Brick,'' he said.
``What I'm hoping is that some parent or some kid who's 26 years old
reads
the paper and thinks: `Hey, this can happen to me too because once
every
three weeks I might do something.' ''
Funeral services for Prizmic and Rigby were to be held today. The
families
are requesting donations in their names to Canuck Place.

13427 105A Ave Surrey and the house next to it located at the corner
of West Whalley Ring Rd. and 105A Ave have been undergoing renovations
recently. Both houses are HA support. While both houses have had
windows boarded for years recently they had the front ones boarded as
well. The boards have been removed and new furnishings put in.
Junkies have been known to detox there and "get well" at the corner
house.

paper a while back....moved out from Aldergrove i think (my parents put the
squeeze on them with the help of some political muscle).

why? its more fun to debate. (one of the original reasons for newsgroups,
i'm sure- it is certainly a necesary component of discussion)

street as a battered womens shelter and a drug rehab house and if I
hadn't read about the rehab place in the paper I wouldn't know it
existed. I only found about the shelter because I had to make a
delivery there. The rehab place was on a street with a lot of crack
and weed. Brain dead idiots that would come up to you and ask, "Want
to do a b and e?". If you could rehab there you should be able to stay
clean for life.
I feel sorry and concerned for the people who live by the Elizabeth
Fry hostel in New West. Scumbag central.
East End-Whalley is the latest in meth clothing that I saw today. Nice
red lettering. The guy wearing it was riding a ten speed as was his
scared and wan East Indian tagalong who was riding a ten speed and
wearing a blue helmet.
Couldn't believe it but I actually saw a 50 something East Indian
prostitute on 136A St last week, something I've never seen before.
Also an East Indian woman wearin a jacket with the 81 logo on it. Must
have pulled the longest train in East End-Whalley history.
The Surrey Food Bank is getting so many donations of bread and muffins
they are throwing them out in the empty lot next door. Great thing
about Canada no matter how wretched you are you will have clothing and
food.
WPG 24-BC 21 In the third quarter! Good game.Way to CBC and the Lions
for lifting the blackout.
Post the address if you remember it.

Glad I live in Newton now the place I used to live in in Whalley has been seriously target hardened even 20 years ago it had a security guard at night. Had H.A. neighbours on either side but after the first night we left each other alone. Hope the ppl down the street who were H.A. didn't suffer from the asbestos in the walls the place was torn down to make the BC Lions training facility.

dying. You were able to move from the slums into their apartment. Now
that you live in Newton, that area is turning into a dump. Wherever
you go, shit follows. You should feel shame.
