Moderate risk to reoffend: court-ordered psychological report

Nine months jail for child pornography Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A South Surrey man who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography has been sentenced to nine months in jail. Douglas Wayne Bowers learned his fate Monday in Surrey Provincial Court. The penalty was imposed more than four years after his arrest, which followed an extensive investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation

Team into a man police described as “a prolific distributor of child sex-abuse images and video online.” In his reasons for sentence, Judge Michael Hicks said he considered Bowers’ lack of insight and understanding into the offences, in addition to hundreds of videos and photographs found in Bowers’ home. Hicks noted he assessed Crown counsel’s assertion that the 64-year-old has “been manipulative

through the court proceedings.” The case faced several delays over the years, for reasons including Bower’s cited health issues and changes in lawyers, as well as his application to change his plea to not guilty in March 2012 – a request he withdrew five weeks later. Hicks outlined each delay in detail, noting he wanted to ensure the reasons the case took so long are on the record. Bowers was arrested in June 2009, after

a search warrant uncovered child pornography on two laptop computers and a USB drive, along with printed materials detailing child sexual abuse, in his rented home in the 16200-block of 40 Avenue. A collage Bowers admitted to making – using images of a teenager he had befriended through Facebook, superimposed on photographs of other women’s bodies – was also found. i see page A10

Legal system ‘broken, failing families’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Port Metro Vancouver will require Fraser Surrey Docks to undertake more research and commit to further steps to keep coal dust from escaping from trains and barges before its proposed new coal-export terminal in Surrey will be considered. Port officials aren’t calling for covered train cars but said they expect the terminal proponent to require BNSF Railway to re-spray coal trainloads with a dust-control topping agent as CN and CP do on trains coming here from B.C. mines. Fraser Surrey Docks must also eliminate its plan for a contingency coal-storage pile at the terminal – which New Westminster residents feared might send clouds of dust floating their way. And a dust-control agent must also be applied when coal is loaded onto barges that will run down the river and across the Strait of Georgia to Texada Island. The biggest setback for the yearold $15-million project is Port Metro Vancouver’s insistence that an environmental-impact assessment be undertaken to assess human health and ecological risks from the project. i see page A4

Legal system ‘favours lawyers’ i from page A1 “I’ve had to fight every step of the way,” she said, adding that her ability to represent herself has been limited by a long-term disability as a result of an old knee injury and knee replacement, subsequently aggravated while working in Kandahar and Kabul. “Last year at this time, I was in Afghanistan in lockdown due to suicide bombers,” MacLean states in a news release announcing the filing of her complaints at the Human Rights Tribunal offices in Vancouver. “Today my battleground is here at the family law courts… because this is not my Canada.” MacLean told PAN her own experiences have driven her to become an outspoken advocate of self-represented litigants against a judicial system she claims favours lawyers, judges and clerks. “I’m so tired of seeing broken people leaving the family-court system,” she said. Her personal legal struggle, she says, includes efforts to access assets and being hampered by legal maneuvers and delaying tactics designed to take advantage of her ignorance of intricacies of the system, her inability to access needed information and regulations and procedures for filing applica-

tions and documents that differ from court to court. While MacLean says her own tenacity has brought her success in representing herself, “it’s success at a huge cost, and it’s ongoing.” MacLean said she recognizes that those who represent themselves in court are viewed by the system as a growing menace causing delays and bottlenecks. But in most cases, she said, the galloping trend is being driven by financial hardship, as those in middle-class income brackets are deemed too well-off to apply for legal aid. If they can’t afford legal representation, litigants have no choice but to represent themselves, she said. “I paid out $150,000 over a two-year period to two different lawyers I thought were going to solve this for me,” she added. Among policy changes MacLean is asking for are establishment of a one-judgeper-case-file rule, increased access to court resources for self-represented litigants, greater ability to investigate complaints against officers of the court and changes to regulations for certificate-of-cost awards that would prevent assets being shielded in RRSPs and by bankruptcy-discharge applications.

‘We look like idiots’ says White Rock councillor

Robinson drops call, maintains criticism Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

One of two White Rock councillors who criticized the handling of a motion to rescind an earlier council decision has withdrawn his request for a special council meeting, reasoning their efforts would not resolve concerns. Coun. Larry Robinson confirmed Thursday that he withdrew his request for a special council meeting under the Community Charter – made Wednesday morning in conjunction with Coun. Helen Fathers – following discussion with the mayor and city manager. However, Robinson maintained his criticism of council’s actions. “We look like idiots,” he told Peace Arch News. “We make one plan, we get the city thinking we’re going in one direction; and suddenly we get another plan and we’re going to go in another direction. And what we’re doing to staff really isn’t fair.” Fathers and Robinson had requested Mayor Wayne Baldwin call the special meeting in an effort to determine the chain of events behind

a motion that blindsided them and others at Monday’s council meeting. Coun. Bill Lawrence had called for council to rescind a July 15 decision to move council chambers into a city-owned building at 1174 Fir St., explaining he had learned of a business Larry Robinson interested in possibly leasing the building. Council voted 4-3 in favour, with Couns. Robinson, Fathers and Al Campbell opposed. While efforts to hold a special meeting have been quashed – at least two councillors must make the request – Fathers has not given up on getting to the bottom of what transpired. “I can always put it on the agenda for the next meeting. All is not lost yet,” she said. Earlier last week, Fathers was highly critical of the process, as only some councillors had prior warning on Lawrence’s motion. Thursday, she maintained what had trans-

pired was “a travesty.” Lawrence had advised city staff of his intention the week before, prompting them to seek a legal opinion as to whether it could be brought forward. Robinson said he, too, is concerned a potential lease of city property was being Wayne Baldwin discussed publicly, with no expression of interest received. However, even if a special meeting determined procedure wasn’t followed, “there’s no recourse under the charter.” “It’s not like you can say you get 100 hours of community service or you’re put in stocks and we throw tomatoes at you,” Robinson told PAN. “All we do is have a public meeting, and everybody stands up on their stool and makes a big fuss and – because we’re now in election mode – it’s going to end up throwing a lot of crap at the wall at a time when we have a lot of serious stuff coming up, and I don’t want to

be part of that political process.” Robinson said he felt Baldwin had failed in his mayoral duties to communicate information to council, as outlined in the Community Charter, and said Baldwin acknowledged to him Wednesday that “he knows he may have made an error in judgment.” Baldwin, however, disputed that: “If I don’t have the information, I can’t divulge it.” While the mayor confirmed Lawrence had discussed the issue with him days prior – and he advised him to consult city staff regarding the legalities – Baldwin said he didn’t know until 3:30 p.m. Monday that Lawrence was going to ask for the motion to be on that evening’s agenda. “Did I fail? I suppose I could’ve quickly fired out an email at 3:30, but there just wasn’t time,” Baldwin said, noting council had meetings starting at 4 p.m. “Under the circumstances, no, I don’t think I failed.” Baldwin acknowledged the issue has “ruffled” feelings amongst council members but is optimistic harmony will be restored.

Neighbours ‘fearful’

Reprieve temporary after raid Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Neighbours of a South Surrey house where 18 people were arrested Sept. 5 say the police drug raid, while appreciated, afforded them only a brief reprieve from problems. “It’s… fully operational,” said one man. “It took less than 24 hours.” Specialized police units descended on the two-storey home, in the 15400-block of 22 Avenue, seizing a small quantity of drugs and stolen ID documents, as part of an ongoing investigation into activity that neighbours say began when new tenants moved in on Aug. 1. Neighbourhood concern is such that parents “don’t even let their kids outside,” the man said, citing “massive amounts of traffic.” Another resident described the situation as “really a drag… like we live in the Bronx.” The woman cited blatant backyard deals and said the youth she sees frequenting the house in question “look like hell.” “It will just blow your mind and break your heart,” she said. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet confirmed Wednesday that police continue to field complaints, and assured efforts to deal with the issue have not abated. “We’re obviously very familiar here with that residence and will continue until the problem has been resolved,” he said. “The attention we dedicate to the residence and its occupants is definitely ongoing.” Paquet – noting charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act are pending against three men arrested during the raid – said police are also working with City of Surrey staff on other avenues of enforcement that are hoped to make a difference.

The former Surrey Public Market at King George Boulevard and 64 Avenue sat vacant for 15 years and is an embarrassment to the city, some say.

Residents decry former site of Surrey Public Market

‘Mayor Watts, tear down these walls’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Its boarded-up windows kicked out and waterproof windscreens blown away, the former Surrey Public Market has become an eyesore for Newton – and all of Surrey, critics say. The Twitterverse lit up on Friday in reaction to the state of the defunct market, which has been abandoned for 15 years and is showing an increasing level of decay. Jude Hannah of ReNewton, a group trying to revitalize Newton, posted a blog and a picture of the 64 Avenue and King George Boulevard market on Twitter Friday morning, prompting some intense reactions. On a post called “Mayor Watts, Tear Down These Walls,” Hannah wrote that “it’s time for the bulldozers to arrive and remove this deplorable structure.” Blogger Laila Yuile tweeted the building is “now a fire hazard” will be a home to vagrants

‘Two weeks not enough for study’ i from page A1 That’s to include both the issue of ‘fugitive coal dust’ – which the port previously deemed merely a nuisance – as well as risks to aquatic species and increased train noise and traffic, which have been key concerns in White Rock and South Surrey. It’s to be based on the new dustsuppression requirements, which Fraser Surrey Docks agreed to Thursday, saying it recognizes the need to reassure residents. Fraser Surrey Docks president Jeff Scott said consulting firm SNC-Lavalin will carry out the EIA, predicting it could be complete by the end of September. Critics say the speedy turnaround time signals the study will only be a superficial attempt to blunt public opposition. “It’s absolutely absurd,” said Kevin Washbrook of the group Voters Taking Action on Climate Change. “Two weeks isn’t enough time to do a comprehensive study that identifies problems, let alone tries to resolve them. Window dressing is all I can call it.” Medical-health officers from

Lower Mainland health authorities had pressed the port to commit to an extensive health-impact assessment, but they couldn’t be reached for comment on whether they support the latest steps. Darrell Desjardin, the port’s director of environment and sustainability, said it’s routine for proponents, not the port, to lead assessments when asked if that would be independent enough. He said the results will be made public, and that there will be a period for comment. “Taking all that into consideration, then and only then will the port make their decision,” Desjardin said. He said there’s no timeline for reaching a final decision on the coal-expansion project. The EIA will only apply to the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal, not an already-approved coalexport expansion by Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver or other potential terminals. But officials say existing terminals are already using dust-control “best practices” of the sort they expect the Surrey project to use.

Washbrook and other climatechange activists think they can keep U.S. thermal coal from being shipped out and burned in Asia by blocking new terminals here and in Washington State, where an even bigger 48-mllion-tonne terminal is proposed just across the border at Cherry Point. The Surrey terminal would initially handle four million tonnes per year of U.S.-mined thermal coal, adding one extra coal train per day through Surrey and White Rock, but could later expand to eight million tonnes. More than 32 million tonnes of coal was shipped through the port’s existing terminals last year, mostly via Deltaport. Neptune’s expansion hasn’t yet been built – it’s awaiting an airquality permit that’s still under review by Metro Vancouver. Existing terminals ship mainly metallurgical coal, which is mined in B.C., used in steelmaking and releases less greenhouse gas than thermal coal. Metro Vancouver’s board and some local city councils have opposed the Surrey project.

Surrey Traditional changes conditions

School split leads to protest Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A group of about 30 or 40 parents and children from Surrey Traditional School carried signs reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;No split classesâ&#x20AC;? during a protest outside the Surrey Surrey District main office Thursday morning, upset that conditions they were promised at the specialized school have been broken. This year, the North Surrey school has two classes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Grade 1/2 and Grade 6/7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where kids from the two grades learn together in the same classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand that this happens in our school system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a regular occurrence, I get that,â&#x20AC;? said Stephanie Campbell, mom of a daughter in Grade 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in our school, we are a choice school in the publicschool system and the choices were clearly statedâ&#x20AC;Ś that there are no split classes, blended classes, anything of that sort, and that all class sizes were limited to 20 students per class.â&#x20AC;? Until last week, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At our school there are no split, blended or combined divisions.â&#x20AC;? It also said primary grades would be capped at a maximum of 20 students per class. Campbell said the same promises were made in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;enrolment

The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of communications Doug Strachan said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become apparent the previous principal told parents there would never be split classes, which is incorrect and against policy. Of the 99 elementary schools in Surrey, there are only a handful that do not have combined-grade classes. Overall, enrolment has declined at Surrey Traditional in recent years and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class shift

has caused the loss of two teachers at the school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also angered parents. Strachan said the school was actually overstaffed, and even now, all but two divisions are well below the class-size limits. The newly combined Grade 6/7 class has just 17 students. Strachan noted combinedgrade classes have been proven advantageous, both academically and socially. District staff met with parents during a three-hour meeting last week to provide information and answer questions.

Divisive politics

f you are a minority government with a goal of removing your province from the country, and you want to avoid talking about your bad economic record – well, it must be time to pick on “the ethnics.” It’s hard to come to any other conclusion about the motivation behind the xenophobic Charter of Quebec Values, unveiled on Tuesday by the minority Parti Quebecois government in Quebec. The term “the ethnics” was used by former PQ premier Jacques Parizeau, when the province came very close to approving separation in 1995. A 50.6 per cent margin approved staying in Canada. Parizeau blamed “money and the ethnic vote” for the narrow loss. His successors haven’t forgotten. The Quebec charter is a thinly disguised attack on nonCaucasian, non-“pure laine” Quebecois. These include those not from a Catholic background, those with a different skin colour, those who practise a religion other than Christianity (with a special aim at Jews and Muslims) and those who somehow look different, such as wearing a head covering or a symbol of their religion. Ever since news of such a charter was leaked, likely by the PQ, there has been a lot of reaction. Much of it has come from outside Quebec, which suits the PQ agenda perfectly, as it can then claim that Quebec is “different” from the rest of Canada. However, it is heartening to see strong reaction from the federal government and the two federal party leaders who represent Quebec seats – Thomas Mulcair of the NDP and Justin Trudeau of the Liberals. Mulcair, in particular, has something to lose as his large Quebec caucus includes some soft PQ supporters, and his party gained much of the “nationalist” vote in the 2011 federal election, when it won 59 Quebec seats. The Quebec Liberals and the second provincial opposition party, the CAQ, also oppose the charter, as it was detailed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the CAQ seems likely to support some elements of it, likely trying to appeal to some of the voters the PQ is targeting. Quebecers should think back to when longtime premier Maurice Duplessis targeted Jehovah’s Witnesses 70 years ago. This attempt to ban religious symbols is a similar paranoid attempt to exploit differences for political gain. Most Quebecers are fair-minded people. Hopefully they will see political trickery for what it is, and reject an attack on their neighbours.

comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling. In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally. In fact, the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors. These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy. Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production. Bennett now acknowledges that gasfired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

So much more Our choices, to come, Surrey money vanish Editor: Twenty years ago last Wednesday, the Municipality of Surrey took a big step into the future (Surrey celebrates 20 years, Sept. 10). The council of the day – Mayor Bob Bose, Couns. Garry Watkins, Marvin Hunt, Judy Higginbotham, Bruce Ralston, Judy Villeneuve, Bill Fomich, Bonnie Schrenk and myself – decided it was time to grow up or at least graduate to adulthood and begin to take our place as one of Canada’s great cities. From country roads and farmers’ fields, to highrises and rapid transit, we have seen the changes. From “The City of Parks” to “The Future Lives Here.” It all started in 1879 when Surrey settlers were given letters patent to form a District Municipality, and then in 1993 we became a city. I remember cutting and serving the cake in Bear Creek and the city celebrations. From the days of reeves and provincial police to the city of culture and parks, Surrey has seen it all. There is so much more to come. I want to thank the people of Surrey who elected me and gave me a chance as a Surrey ‘boy’ to have the honour of being an alderman, then a councillor and to be a small part of Surrey becoming a city. We have gone from 165,000 people in the ’80s to a city with nearly half a million now. Challenges have been met, mistakes have been made and Surrey has grown to become a leader in so many ways. I also want to recognize mayor Bose and the city councillors of 1993 for their contributions. We had our battles and growing pains in the councils of the day. There were some very strong personalities and lots of articulate and passionate debate, which in my view led to some very good decisions. We were unanimous in the decision to become a city, and the results of that decision can be seen throughout Surrey. We took the steps to get to where we are today. The future is bright and I’m proud to be a Surreyite. Happy birthday, Surrey! Gary T. Robinson, Surrey

Editor: Surprise, surprise, BC Hydro announces rate hikes are coming… A wise teacher once said that if a dog bites you, and you don’t immediately give it a correction, the biting will continue. Rate hikes are coming. Ouch! Time-of-use billing won’t be far behind. Ouch! Then, in a few years or earlier, the “smart” meters will need upgrades. Ouch! The working longevity of these meters is estimated to be approximately 20 years. Does that mean another billion dollars? Ouch! Thankfully, we can give BC Hydro a correction right now by joining the class-action lawsuit started by Nomi Davis of Salt Spring Island, who had a meter forced on her under the threat of cutting off her power – an essential service. We want true choice, which for those of us who have done the research, means an analog meter. We want true choice, which means a no-fee opt-out for everyone, including those who have a smart meter and no longer want it. Tanesa Kiso, White Rock

Beacons of hopelessness Editor: The school year has started up in school districts in the Lower Mainland and, with that, students, teachers and administrative staff

will be exposed to Wi-Fi and the perpetually pulsing beacon signal that is present in every single Wi-Fi router or access point on the planet. The beacon allows Wi-Fi networks to be visible in a list so that wireless devices can connect to them. The latest “wireless N” access-point transmitters being installed in classrooms have a range of 800 to 1,000 feet. There is one very shocking fact about Wi-Fi that 99.9 per cent of parents and the public at large are woefully unaware of: Meters that were developed to convert the beacon signal into sound actually turn the invisible waves into audible sound so you can hear the “beats” and “bursts” of microwave radiation. The default “beacon interval” setting for Wi-Fi routers and access points is 100 milliseconds – that’s a rate of 10 pulses per second. If you do the math: 10 bursts per second equals 600 bursts per minute equals 36,000 bursts per hour equals 864,000 bursts of microwave radiation a 24-hour day. Multiply this in schools and office/ apartment buildings by the number of individual routers or access points – the networks that show up in the “available Wi-Fi network list” on phones, iPads and computers. Ten available Wi-Fi networks showing up on a device – not uncommon in any of these situations – creates: 8,640,000 bursts in a 24-hour period. This is in addition to the radiation coming off the devices’ two-way transmitters to connect to the network. I highly doubt that school district trustees and administrators around the world are aware of this. I also sincerely doubt that the human body was designed to withstand this. I say, with much humility and

Methodology manipulative Editor: Re: Let science lead pot policy, Sept. 10 letters. One side says marijuana is much less harmful than tobacco and/or alcohol; while the other side says that such vague general claims are untrue – that cannabis is not at all so innocuous. Although I’ve learned about pot consumption’s effect on my health the hard way, I must admit that research findings regarding pot’s effect on health that ‘reveal’ a benign or, contrarily, insidious nature of cannabis consumption make me instinctually wonder: Who commissioned the research? As cynical as it may sound, I’m one who believes that knowing the interests of the entity who has commissioned the research quite often reveals much about the research ‘findings’ to come. The research commissioner, through the news-media, will typically propagate self-descriptive adjectives such as “independent,” but such doesn’t necessarily translate into 100-per-cent accuracy, for research methodology can be quite manipulative.

No time to stop trains Editor: One final comment on the need for caution and, above all, common sense at railway crossings. The speed limit for freight trains passing through White Rock is 25 m.p.h. but even at that slow speed a mile-long freight train or a fully loaded coal train requires almost a mile to be brought to a full stop. So even if an engineer sees people on the track, there is no way he could stop a train in time. Common sense, alas, is not very common. Jim Armstrong, Surrey

Price for backing backwardness

An open letter to Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Once again, your government policies regarding the licensing of trophy hunting on native lands has come to the attention of British Columbians. You continue to ignore the opinions of 86 per cent of citizens who oppose all trophy hunting in this province. You ignore the morality around this issue, and the rights of native people in B.C. trying to preserve grizzly

habitat and populations on their lands. This is 2013, Mr. Thompson. Licensing the slaughter of wild animals for pleasure is absolutely not acceptable anymore. Your government’s legacy on this issue will be remembered as unprogressive and unresponsive. The price for backwardness will be paid at the ballot box. Citizens won’t forget your position on this important issue in the next election. Leslie Hilts, White Rock

Smart meter abstention will cost $420 a year

BC Hydro to charge holdouts

ARTHRITIS? ASTHMA? DIABETES? ACHES & PAINS? TROUBLE SLEEPING?

Jeff Nagel Black Press

It won’t be cheap for opponents of wireless smart meters to keep their old analog electricity meters. BC Hydro says it will slap an extra $35 per-month fee – $420 per year – on the roughly 60,000 smart meter holdouts for manual meter readings starting in December. Those who don’t want to pay that much have two cheaper options. They can accept a wireless smart meter at no charge. Or they can request a smart meter with the radio transmitter disabled for a one-time $100 charge and additional $20 permonth fees starting April 1. Either way, those who opt to stay off Hydro’s smart grid will pay more. BC Hydro has sent out letters to households that have refused smart meters outlining the options, along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option. “If you do not confirm your choice, BC Hydro will not exchange the meter at your home, and the monthly cost for keeping an old meter will be added to your BC Hydro bill,” states the letter from Greg Reimer, executive vicepresident of transmission and distribution. The proposed charges

Hydro officials say the fees offset the expense of adding infrastructure so the grid works as planned and the costs of manually performing services now automated by smart meters. BC Hydro says those who keep old analog meters aren’t guaranteed that will be an option indefinitely. Crews will replace analog meters that break or their accuracy seals expire as long as the existing stock of old meters lasts. If that supply runs out, or for people who move to a new home, the only option will be to accept a smart meter, either operating wirelessly or with the transmitter turned off. Opposition group Citizens for Safe Technology calls the planned fees “extortionary” – noting they add up to as much as $25 million a year – and doubts regulators will be able to justify them.

“Why should we pay not to have something harmful put on our homes?” the group said in a message to supporters, recommending they not return the forms. “Hydro believes that this announcement will push more customers to accept what they do not want or need. Many are understandably upset and confused by this latest ultimatum.” CST also argues there’s no guarantee radio-off meters won’t still radiate or that Hydro won’t reactivate the transmitters without customer consent. Smart-meter opponents are also trying to launch a class-action lawsuit to force a reasonable permanent no-fee opt out, noting people who move may find a wireless smart meter already exists in their new home, against their wishes. More than 1.8 million smart meters have been installed, leaving less than four per cent of Hydro customers without one.

A‘ NEW WAY TO HEAR...

2009 sentencing rules must apply i from page A1 Hicks found Bowers “violated a position of trust” when he downloaded the teen’s Facebook photos and defaced them. In 2010, Bowers pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography. In a previous interview with Peace Arch News, Bowers maintained he had accidentally downloaded child images while attempting to access adult pornography. He denied any intention of viewing the videos and images or making any Google searches for that material. Those claims were contradicted by RCMP experts who testified that a number of the videos and images had been viewed more than once, and that online searches were made using keywords for child pornography. The downloads began Sept. 20, 2008 and continued up until the day before Bowers was arrested, the court heard. The material Bowers down-

loaded “depict children clearly under 18 years of age engaged in all manner of sexual activity,” Hicks said. One of the videos includes bestiality, the judge said. Hicks said 253 videos and 1,205 images were found to meet the definition of child pornography. A court-ordered psychological report found Bowers was a “moderate risk” to reoffend. The writer noted Bowers told her “he does not feel guilty because he ‘didn’t do it on purpose.’” “He appears to have little, if any, insight as to why he sought out this material,” Hicks said. “As a result, his specific deterrence remains a sentencing concern.” In outlining Bowers’ background, Hicks noted the impact of the 2001 death of the carpenter’s son on his emotional and mental health; and Bowers’ own claim of being sexually abused as a child at ages 10 and 15. Hicks noted he heard no evidence that Bowers had acted on

recommendations since the 2011 report to undergo counselling. At the time of Bowers’ offence, the minimum sentence for possession of child pornography was a 45-day term. While Parliament has since enacted changes that call for a minimum one-year term, Hicks said he was bound by the rules in place at the time of arrest. He imposed two years probation and ordered Bowers to submit a DNA sample and to comply with the requirements of the sexoffender registry for 10 years. While Bowers had asked, through his lawyer, to start his sentence on Friday in order to work “so that when he comes out he won’t be homeless,” Hicks agreed with Crown Keith Kinash that he had more than a month since the sentencing hearing to get his affairs in order. “The whole issue with the prospect that you would go into custody was well-known,” Hicks said. “The sentence commences now.”

inslie Winter has been our insurance advisor since 1998, having taken over our portfolio from another advisor. From our Àrst meeting, we have been very comfortable with Ainslie. She displayed knowledge of the insurance industry and an understanding of our situation that put us at ease and established a trust between us. Over the years she has guided us so that we have the correct amount of coverage, taking into consideration the insurance offered by my employer, the age of our children, and the insurance products available. One of my apprehensions with an insurance advisor is pressure to buy more, so that they make the sale. That has never been the case with Ainslie. She makes sound, appropriate judgements and recommends the products best suited to your situation. She employs this same knowledgeable approach to our Ànancial portfolio as well. We have enjoyed our meetings with Ainslie, as she always displays a personal interest in our lives and those of our now grown children. – N and S, Delta

Protecting Your Brand. Using Trademarks as a Business Tool. What is a Trademark? A trademark is your business’s brand. A trademark could be a logo, name, slogan, colour, shape, sounds or any combination of these. Examples of trademarks include: the Nike “swoosh design”, Molson’s “I am. Canadian”, Apple’s “iPod”and the Vancouver Canuck’s logo. Why Register a Trademark? Just as a marriage can be legally registered or remain common law, so can a trademark. Registered trademarks are enforceable across Canada, even if your business is restricted to a certain city or province. Your common law rights in respect of an unregistered trademark, however, are restricted to the specific geographic area where you conduct business. Additional advantages to registering a trademark include: • If anyone attempts to use a similar trademark, you will be able to initiate an infringement action under the Trademarks Act, an owner of an unregistered trademark may only rely on “passing off ”proceedings in which the plaintiff has a more onerous burden of proof. • Licensing your trademark to other parties such as franchisees is much easier if registered. • Trademark registration is an asset in itself, adding value to your business. • Trademark registration can be important in registering and/ or maintaining an internet domain name. A common assumption is that once you have incorporated provincially or federally you have unlimited rights to that corporate name. However, if the public is likely to confuse a corporate name with a trademark which another business is already using, then the owner of the trademark will likely be able to prevent use of the corporate name. What is a good trademark? It is important to choose trademarks that are distinctive and not confusingly similar to trademarks already in use. Doing so will give you the strongest possible rights against new competitors. The most protectable marks are those that are fanciful (words such as “Kleenex”or “Kodak”that have no meaning) or arbitrary (real words that have nothing to do with the identified products or services, like “Apple”for computers). Creative and unusual design elements can further assist in establishing your brand and trademark protection. Going International If you are planning to sell your products or services in other countries, you should also consider registering your trademark for each of those countries. Why Use a Trademark Agent? Registering a trademark is complicated and time consuming. An experienced trademark agent can help you register a strong trademark, thereby, saving you time, money and angst. A weak trademark will leave you vulnerable to legal issues such as “cease and desist”letters and court action. For more information with respect to the process of registration of trademarks in Canada, the United States or other countries, contact Tamara Huculak, lawyer/associate counsel and registered trademark agent at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604 542-5344, or by email at thuculak@bkslaw.com.

ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, the week ahead is looking pretty good, as you will find people are more sensitive to your needs. Work with those willing to work with you.

Libra, it may prove challenging to sit still the next few days. People may be pulling at you from many different directions, and you will not know which way to lean.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Taurus, your visions of how things should be might differ from how things really are. Work toward improving those things that need some work, and things will turn out just fine.

Scorpio, try not to be overly protective of your secrets this week. A friend or family member is offering their help and guidance, and such insight will prove invaluable.

GEMINI Some surprises come your way this week, Gemini. But things will soon begin to fall into place. Just be patient before you make important decisions.

CANCER Things may seem a bit strained this week, Cancer. But all it takes is a little cooperation and an increased focus on teamwork, and things will quickly return to normal.

LEO Leo, stay prepared and well organized and this week should fly by without a hitch. Feel free to try some things that go against the grain.

VIRGO Virgo, don't feel badly about the things over which you have little control. Go out and have a good time this week, and eventually things will run their course.

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle presents itself this week. Some creativity and quick thinking will be necessary, but you will enjoy the challenge.

CAPRICORN Keep your feet on the ground this week, Capricorn. Even if you prefer to have your head in the clouds, keeping your cool will pay dividends in the long run.

AQUARIUS Aquarius, enjoy some quiet time so you can regroup after a hectic couple of weeks. You earned some rest and relaxation, and this time away will recharge your batteries.

PISCES Pisces, you have a lot of good ideas, and it's time to share those ideas at the office. Your star will soon start to rise.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Fibre festival The Outside The Box Fibre Festival, focusing on the multitude of possibilities of fibre as a medium, is ongoing in White Rock and the Semiahmoo Peninsula this month, including an exhibit at White Rock Library (15342 Buena Vista Ave.). Adventures in Fibre, a world-class display of art, features works by festival founder Pauline McLean Dutkowski, Judy Alexander, Valeria Unruh, Elizabeth Carefoot, Annet Holierhoek, Katherine Siemens, Elke Denhart, Alicia Ballard, Linda Coe, Barbara Morley and Vladimira Fillion. Also at the library, presented as part of the festival by Semiahmoo Arts, will be guest lecturer Shohreh Ghanbary (Monday, Sept. 23, 7 p.m.) and her talk Beyond The Wall: The Memories, The Art. Ghanbary, an artist and activist, will discuss her experiences in Iran – where she was imprisoned in the 1980s after taking to the streets to protest the Islamic Revolution – and her new life in Canada. In Iran’s notorious Evin Prison, fibre arts actually became a key to survival for Ghanbary, who endured horrendous conditions and lived under constant threat of execution. Each night in her cell she would embroider images inside the pockets of her chador (traditional robe). Each year her parents were permitted to bring her a change of clothes, which meant the embroidered messages could be smuggled out of the prison walls and see the light of day. Works by Ghandary can be seen until Sept. 23 at the Semiahmoo Arts building in Centennial Park (14600 North Bluff Rd.). Additional Outside The Box venues are White Rock Museum and Archives, Laura’s Fashion Fabrics, the Mind and Matter Gallery, Heart’s Desire Designs and Penelope Fibre Arts. For more information, visit www. outsidetheboxwhiterock.ca

Call for artists Semiahmoo Arts is issuing a call for artists for Paint the Town, an event celebrating Canada Culture Days – and raising the profile of local artists – that will come to the streets of White Rock Sept. 28 and 29.

OpenDoor Yoga and White Rock’s Live Yoga. Concluding the drive will be a songwriters’ circle at The Biltmore (all proceeds to Music Heals) which will include Hol and her full band as well as Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother), Dominique Fricot, Hilary Grist and Head of the Herd.

PAR for the COURSE Great time of year to tee off

Beach Grove Golf Club

Autumn months often favoured by many golfers Though the weather may begin to cool off and the leaves will soon be turning brown, that doesn’t mean it’s time to pack away the golf clubs until next year. Many of the golf courses around the Semiahmoo Peninsula are in great condition, and staff are looking forward to staying open well into the fall. If you’re new to the idea of golfing in cooler, non-summer temperatures, there are some extra things to keep in mind to ensure you have a great day out on the course. The first thing is to make sure you dress appropriately for the weather. Dressing in layers is the best solution, as unpredictable conditions can change in no time flat. While your game may start out on the chilly side, if you’re walking the course and working up a sweat, chances are you’ll want to shed a layer or two. Having a light-weight, wind-resistant jacket is also important – it will keep you safe from the elements, but won’t be so bulky that it interferes with your swing. In cooler weather, giving yourself the opportunity to warm up and stretch before teeing off is more important than ever, as the cold temperature can cause your muscles to be tighter and stiffer than normal. A brisk walk to get your heart rate up, followed by stretches of your arms, legs, back and neck, should do the trick nicely. Consider packing a thermos with a nice warm drink to keep you toasty, or even invest in some hand warmers for in between holes, as wearing bulky gloves

WWW.BEACHGROVEGOLF.COM

Beach Grove Golf Club was interested in knowing how the travel from White Rock to the Club affected our members. Full Play Member and White Rock resident Debbie Warren has been making the drive now for over 4 years. We asked Debbie a few questions about her experience at the Club. As a Resident of White Rock what attracted you to a Private Club in Beach Grove as a place to play your golf and establish your social network?

I became aware of the Beach Grove Golf Club (BGGC) in a bit of an unusual way. I was in Australia on holidays when I received an email from a friend Debbie Warren querying me if I would be interested in joining. A few emails were exchanged and then following a 20 hour ﬂight back I drove immediately from the airport to Beach Grove and joined that day. I have never looked back on my decision. I found the joining fees to be very reasonable, the course well maintained, a good test of golf and extremely picturesque. In addition I soon realized how the entire operation was run professionally including the pro shop and dining services.

With the South Fraser Perimeter Road opening soon how do you see your travel to the Club improving?

I have been a member now for four years and have never found the commute from the peninsula to be a problem. Yes it takes 25 minutes to drive from White Rock to the club (likely less when the new South Fraser Perimeter Road opens), but you know when you get there the round will be 4 hours and not the 5 hour or longer game experienced on public and semi private courses.

What would you say to someone from South Surrey considering membership at Beach Grove Golf Club?

The best parts of belonging to BGGC are the friends that you make and the community spirit that is woven into the essence of the club. You will ﬁnd fun times heading out in a small group or entering one of the many fun competitions or tournaments. Whether your goal is for social purposes, playing year round golf, business networking or simply having fun you will not be disappointed as a member.

Just because the summer sun may be over, doesn’t mean you have to pack up the clubs. might prove to be tricky. Last but not least, don’t forget about your equipment – with fall weather may come a little extra mud or moisture on your clubs and bag. Being sure to give your gear a good clean after each round will ensure it’s in great shape for a variety of seasons to come. Autumn can be one of the best times of the year to golf. The summer crowds have dissipated and you don’t have to worry about the temperature being too hot. So before you bid farewell to summer and pack up your clubs for the year, be sure to get back out there and enjoy some great fall golfing at some of the most beautiful courses in the Lower Mainland.

Surrey newcomers Renouf, Adamo shine during homestand

Eagles earn weekend split on home ice Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Some things never change. Despite an almost completely new roster – save for a handful of returnees, mostly at the forward spots – and a new head coach, the Surrey Eagles did last weekend what they did on many weekends in the early stages of last season: they earned a split. In their home-opener Friday night at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles edged the Langley Rivermen 5-4 in double-overtime, and less than 48 hours later, dropped a 5-2 decision to the Coquitlam Express, also on home ice. Through the first two weekends of the season, the Eagles sit with a 2-2 win-loss record. Friday’s win nearly slipped away, however, after Surrey led a 4-2 lead evaporated in the third period, before newcomer Jonah Renouf – who lit up the Ontario Junior Hockey League last season – scored 3:08 into the second overtime period to send the fans home happy. “Obviously, we let them back into it in the third, but we’re still happy to get the win,” said Eagles head coach Peter Schaefer. In the first period, Darien Craighead – a Cloverdale native – gave Langley a 1-0 lead, but the home team responded with three goals, from Danton Heinen, Nic Pierog and Colton Mackie, in the final nine minutes of the first period to take a commanding lead. In the second, captain Brett Mulcahy scored a power-play marker to extend the Eagles’ lead to 4-1, but Langley’s Will Cook scored on an penalty shot before the second intermission to cut the deficit to two. In the third, Langley’s Chris Forney scored on the power-play, and Nathan Craft tied the game with 19 seconds left. Eagles netminder Victor Adamo was the star for the home team, stopping 48 of 52 shots he faced, as the Eagles were outshot by a more than two-to-one ratio; Surrey fired just 24 shots on the Langley net. Getting outshot has been a concern for the Eagles through four games of the season – Coquitlam outshot Surrey 40-25 Sunday, too. Schaefer said it was a problem the team planned to rectify this week during practice. “We have a young defence, so it takes time i see page A30

The biggest concern of his detractors has been his size, something that Petan quickly dismisses and his coaches don’t seem too concerned about. “In my own head, I think of myself as a six-two guy out there,” Petan said. “I play to my advantage, get around the bigger guys. I felt great, the size didn’t bother me.” He won’t win many battles using his body, but doesn’t shy away from work along the boards. With a quick stick he was able to get the puck from opponents and quickly lead a rush up ice. “He and (linemate) J.C. (Lipon) have some real good chemistry

between the two of them in a short period of time,” said Keith McCambridge, the St. John’s Ice Caps head coach who was behind the Jets bench in Winnipeg. “They’re hard to play against as to how they move. They’re small and elusive for those defencemen to hold them in the corners.” Petan was among the top scorers in major-junior hockey last season, scoring 46 times and totalling 120 points for the Portland Winterhawks. He added another nine goals and 28 points in 21 playoff games, leading the Winterhawks to the WHL championship. He followed that up with one goal and

nine assists in five games at the Memorial Cup, at which Portland fell 6-4 to the Halifax Mooseheads in the championship game. Petan said the level of competition in Penticton – playing against pros – was just a bit better than what he experienced in junior. “In these games, you don’t notice much of a difference,” he said. “Obviously there’s some bigger guys out there and it’s a bit faster, but it’s pretty similar for now.” As a 19-year-old, playing minorpro hockey isn’t an option for Petan.

Eagles set for Vancouver Island trip i from page A29 for them to (come together), but it’s not just them, it’s our forwards, too,” Schaefer said. “We need to get more shots on net. We’re passing up too many shots to try and make fancy plays.” In Sunday’s loss, Pierog and Mulcahy lit the lamp for the Eagles, who otherwise struggled, especially on special teams. Surrey went 0-for-6 on the power play, and Coquitlam scored a shorthanded goal. Schaefer chalked up the power-

play problems simply to rust, and a lack of practise time early in the season. “We still haven’t practiced a whole lot yet, but I think it will all come together once we figure out some (set) lines here.” Schaefer said the team would be bolstering the blue-line in the coming weeks in order to supplement the young group they currently have. Today, 19-year-old Philip Johansson – a Brown University recruit who had been playing in the United States Hockey

League – was scheduled to arrive on the Peninsula, and Schaefer suggested other additions may be in works. “Johansson’s a big, six-foot-two puck-moving defenceman, so he should be a big help,” Schaefer said. This weekend, the Eagles travel to Vancouver Island for two games. On Saturday, they’ll face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Sunday afternoon will square off against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Rowers were out in force on the Nicomekl River Saturday afternoon, as the Nicomekl Rowing Club’s annual Head of the River Regatta was held in South Surrey. This year’s overall winner was Jill Gardner of Washington’s Lake Union Crew, who finished the six-km course – which went from the Elgin dam to the Crescent Beach pier – in a final, handicap-adjusted time of 21 minutes, 44 seconds. Gardner placed just ahead of last year’s Head of the River winner, Maureen Harriman of the Whistler Rowing Club.

A Delta Deas/Nicomekl Rowing Club quad rowing team, led by Sandi Gauvin, placed third. The Head of the River title is determined after results from the second race of the day are weighted by number of rowers, age, gender and boat type. Other winners in individual races included Stephen Lawson, who won the singles division in the class race – he was also part of Gauvin’s third-place foursome in the Head of the River race – and South Surrey’s Ed Williams and Rainer Straka, who won the doubles race. Rounding out the local winners was the quad team of Bridget

CREMER, Karl Hans Jan. 8, 1930 – Sept. 12, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce Karl’s passing. Survived by Gerda, his wife of 54 years and his children, Ed (Bibiane), Tom (Laura), Angela deBruijn (Erik), Monica Dickson, his 11 grandchildren and one great-grand-daughter. Also survived by his brother Rudolf and sister Hedwig and their families in Germany. Cremation has taken place. A funeral service will be held at the Gardens of Gethsemani, 15800 32nd Ave, Surrey, on Thursday Sept 19, 2013 at 1:30 pm followed by a reception. Special thanks to all the staff at Peace Arch Hospital for their kindness, care, patience and dedication over the past year. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation.

GERBRANDT Donna Mae Gerbrandt passed away peacefully on September 12, 2013, at the age of 69 years, with loved ones at her side. She will be greatly missed by her daughters Fay (John) and Denise, her grandchildren, Jonathan and JamieLee (Heather), and her great grandchildren. She will also be missed by her brother Reginald (Shirley) and her sister-in-law, Beverley, along with many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father Jacob, mother Esther, her brother James, her sister Darlene Ann, and sister-in-law Marjorie. Donna was born in Rosthern, SK, on January 14, 1944 and moved to Steinbach, MB with her family in 1946 where she spent her childhood years. She married Gilbert Gerbrandt in April of 1962. For the last 22 years she has lived in residential care at the Dr. Hogg Pavilion - Peach Arch Hospital, in White Rock BC, as she struggled with Multiple Sclerosis. Never a complainer, Donna frequently expressed thanks for the many blessings God had given her, particularly her family and friends. With what she had, she blessed others including several Mission organizations. She liked to keep her money in the refrigerator, calling it her “cold, hard, cash.” Her determination to memorize long passages of Scripture helped her in her daily life and she was usually ready with an appropriate verse to offer in any situation, always remembering the exact reference. Donna was also a gifted pianist and poet. In 2004, she won an award for a limerick she’d written called “A Word to the Wise or Otherwise.” We would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff at the Dr. Hogg Pavilion who cared for her over the years. A funeral service celebrating Donna’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd. in Abbotsford, BC. Woodlawn Funeral Home 604-853-2643
