Notorious Surrey rapist freed from jail
Probe of Fraser Health ordered
Ernest Meigs sparked one of B.C.’s largest manunts in 2002 by Sheila Reynolds A MAN who terrorized a Clo-
verdale family in 2002 after raping one woman and abducting another has been released from prison. Ernest Meigs was convicted in 2004 after he broke into a Surrey home, armed, and sexually assaulted a tenant and kidnapped another woman, prompting one of the largest manhunts in B.C. history. His kidnap victim, who had been Ernest Meigs repeatedly sexually assaulted, managed to escape the next day and Meigs surrendered to police a few days later. He was jailed in Saskatchewan following his conviction after serving a portion of his 14-and-ahalf sentence. His mother told CTV News her son, who is now 38, should not be released.

operational review of Fraser Health to help contain rising costs and deal with persistent hospital congestion. The health region is B.C.’s largest – it consumes $2.5 billion a year on behalf of 1.6 million residents – but it’s running over budget once again this year and Lake said it will require another infusion of extra money to meet patient demand. The region’s population has grown by 1.3 per cent a year over the past three years, and the authority has received budget increases averaging six per cent a year – more than the 4.8-per-cent average for other health regions. Despite that, Fraser Health went one per cent over budget last year – the third year in a row it’s failed to stay Terry Lake within its allocation. “That doesn’t add up for us,” Lake said. “Fraser has not been able to manage the budget targets and we want to understand why.” He said continued budget hikes of five to seven per cent can’t continue either. “We’ve been very clear that we need to bend the cost curve down on increases in health because it’s simply not sustainable.” See HEALTH / Page 4

Halloween not too hot Surrey eyes elementary to handle this year school boundary changes Fireworks bylaw is working: Firefighter
School district is seeking feedback until Nov. 14
by Kevin Diakiw SURREY’S FIRE department received no Halloween-
related calls Thursday night, evidence firefighters say shows the city’s bylaw banning fireworks is working. Deputy Fire Chief Jon Caviglia said there were no reports of fires on Oct. 31. He acknowledges there were still fireworks being set off, but nothing like there was before the bylaw was implemented in 2005. The year prior, Surrey firefighters were called out to 90 fires caused by fireworks on Halloween, and tallied up more than $120,000 in damages that night. Starting in 2005, a new fireworks bylaw required people to have a federal fireworks permit to purchase, possess or let off the pyrotechnics. Meanwhile, Surrey RCMP were kept hopping on Halloween night, with about double the calls for service compared to a typical night. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said there were 409 calls to the police for service and 374 of those required sending a cruiser. About half of those calls were Halloween-related.
by Sheila Reynolds PARENTS IN three
neighbourhoods of Surrey have until midNovember to give their input about proposed changes to school boundaries. The first shift would affect families near J.T. Brown Elementary (12530 60 Ave.), Martha Jane Norris (12928 66A Ave.), and Beaver Creek Elementary (6505 123A Ave.) The proposal is to shift a
portion of J.T. Brown’s current catchment so as to split it between Martha Jane and Beaver Creek. The areas affected are those north of 64 Avenue. The changes, the district says, would help reduce overcrowding at J.T. Brown and make better use of space at the other schools, as well as shorten the distance to school for some kids and reduce the need to cross busy 64 Avenue from the
south. A second suggested change aims to ease crowded conditions and decrease the number of portables at Woodward Hill Elementary (6082 142 St.), by redirecting some students to North Ridge Elementary, near 134 Street and 62 Avenue. The proposal is to move a corner of Woodward’s current catchment south of 64 Avenue and east of King George Boulevard to within North Ridge’s

boundaries. Another, three-part boundary proposal potentially affects four schools in the South Newton/Cloverdale area – A.J. McLellan Elementary, Surrey Centre Elementary, George Greenaway and Martha Currie Elementary. The first part of the proposal would move a portion of A.J. McLellan’s catchment north of 60 Avenue, between 164 and 168 Streets, to Surrey Centre. The second move would send families living in neighbourhoods between Highway 10 and 60 Avenue and 170 and 175 Streets to George Greenaway instead of Surrey Centre. And a third possible shift would re-direct kids living south of Highway 10 and west of Highway 15 to Martha Currie instead of Surrey Centre. Again, the reasons for the potential changes are to reduce overcrowding and portables, as well as have children attend schools that are closer, and reduce the need to cross busy streets. The changes would not affect current students at any of the schools, or their siblings, and they’d be entitled to attend their existing school in future years if desired. New students – either recently moved to the neighbourhoods or those entering kindergarten – would be asked to attend schools in the new catchment areas, if the boundary changes go ahead. Feedback is being accepted until Nov. 14. Comments can be submitted to school principals, who will forward them to the district. Any boundary shifts would take affect September 2014.

Police hunt for high-risk sex offender Jeffrey Goddard, 23, has been living in Surrey by Vikki Hopes
A HIGH-RISK sex offender who committed his crimes while living in Abbotsford is wanted by the RCMP for breaching the conditions of his probation. Jeffrey Goddard, 23, has been living in Surrey since being released from prison earlier this year on his last set of charges. RCMP have issued a warrant for his arrest, saying in a news release that “his recent behaviour progression is indicative that he may be back in a crime cycle.” They did not release further details, but described Goddard as an “untreated sex offender.” He is believed to be somewhere in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley. Goddard has a history of posing over the phone and online – through Facebook and other social media – as people such as a police officer, a teenage girl and a TV Jeffrey Goddard producer to lure young teens, mostly boys. He previously served a 20-month jail term after being convicted of invitation to sexual touching, communicating via a computer to lure a child, impersonating a police officer and two charges of breaching his bail conditions. Goddard was released from prison in February 2012, and breached his conditions that summer when he again adopted an alias on Facebook – this time, posing as a landscaper – and hired two teen boys to do yard work. He was again sentenced to jail – 180 days – and completed that term in January of this year. Goddard’s conditions of his release include that he not communicate with people under the age of 18, not use social networking sites and not use any electronic device capable of accessing the Internet. Goddard is 5’ 9”, weighs 150 pounds and has brown hair and green eyes.

a child was grabbed at knifepoint at a school in Newton on Thursday. At 12:45 p.m. on Oct. 31, police were called to a disturbance near École Regionale Gabrielle-Roy at 72 Avenue and 132 Street. When police arrived they found a man holding a nine-year-old boy with one hand and brandishing a knife in the other. After a brief negotiation, police say they convinced the man to release the child and drop the knife. During the apprehension of the man, who is known to police for mental health issues, officers deployed a Taser. The suspect and the Grade 4 student from GabrielleRoy are reported to be physically unharmed.
Omar Moustapha Hassan has been charged with hostage taking, unlawful confinement, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, kidnapping, and failing to comply with a probation order. Hassan is in custody and appeared in court Friday. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said because of the level of force used in apprehending the suspect, the Independent Investigations Office will be called to probe police actions in this case. “The quick response and actions of the officers involved and their ability to de-escalate the situation immediately were essential in the safe conclusio n to this incident,” Paquet said. “As an officer, there is nothing more rewarding than safely getting a child out of harm’s way.” kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

It’s too soon to say how far Fraser Health will overshoot this year’s budget, but another one per cent overrun would take an extra $25 million – money Lake said will be found from the core operations of the health ministry, not raided from other health regions. The review comes
after unionized nurses said understaffed emergency rooms are packed at hospitals across the region, in addition to the newly opened ER at Surrey Memorial (see story, page 5). Fraser Health officials have also grappled with other high-profile incidents in recent weeks, including the case of a 90-year-old blind woman sent home after midnight via taxi from Delta Hospital. Lake said the review won’t examine such incidents and he denied claims the system is in chaos, calling hospital congestion nothing new. Fraser Health is the province’s fastestgrowing health region, with a large number of older residents who are expected to put great demand on health budgets in the years ahead. Lake said the review doesn’t mean he wants service cuts, but rather a wide search for solutions, including how spending is balanced between acute care in hospitals versus preventative primary care that can keep people healthier and avoid admissions. “The answer to every problem is not more money,” he said. One option to be examined is a possible boundary change for the health region.
LEADER FILE PHOTO
Surrey Memorial Hospital’s new ER opened in October, and it is packed with patients already. The Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities already jointly procure many services and supplies in an effort to control costs, but Lake hinted more might come. “Does it make sense to have the boundary where it is?” Lake asked, noting there have been no changes since the health authorities were set up 12 years ago.
Fraser Health’s board will submit a new three-year plan next spring to start in the 2014-15 fiscal year and will also submit a revised version of this year’s fiscal plan to address the expected overrun. Lake will appoint officials from his own ministry, the finance ministry and various health regions to the strategic review
committee to work with Fraser Health in examining its current operations and identifying priority areas for action by next May. The new three-year plan is to identify service targets, operational and financial objectives and outline how Fraser Health’s programming and structure can help achieve them. Lake said he still has confidence in Fraser Health’s leadership. Fraser Health board chair David Mitchell said the board welcomes the chance to work with other health experts in a “collaborative and constructive” search for best practices. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said Fraser Health has run with too few beds and staff for years, creating systemic problems and routinely overflowing ERs. “Because of the under-funding we’ve seen a whole series of cuts, as well as this crisis in emergency rooms that’s getting worse,” she said. She questioned where the review team will look for savings. “What is it they’re going to cut?” Darcy asked. “We’re already seeing cuts that are pretty damaging, to mental health in particular.”

high risk to reoffend. A parole board report obtained by CTV indicated Meigs’ troubles persisted behind bars, where he allegedly threatened his parole board officer, was aggressive, and became sexually obsessed with a staff member. His statutory release conditions include that he live at a halfway house, stay away from alcohol or drugs, stick to a 10 p.m. curfew, have no contact with his victims or their families, and report any
sexual or non-sexual relationships with women to his parole supervisor. In May 2012, Meigs had a parole hearing postponed when the sex offender became agitated after his parole officer recommended he be denied full or day release. The parole officer said he was concerned over the contents of Meigs’ Facebook page, where he had posted some of his psychiatric evaluations.

Hospital congestion is widespread, say nurses Overcrowding is not a major problem: Fraser Health CEO by Sheila Reynolds and Jeff Nagel THE B.C. Nurses’ Union
(BCNU) says overflowing emergency rooms, including the newly opened ER at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH), are causing long waits and compromising patient care. In a press conference in Coquitlam Thursday, the union claimed that in Surrey last week, patients were lined up in the hallways and at one point, one nurse was caring for 11 patients. The ratio, said the BCNU, should be one nurse to four stable patients. There were also claims a patient with the highly contagious MRSA superbug was wandering around the ER hallway at Royal Columbian, and a dying man was read his last rites in a hallway at Eagle Ridge Hospital. “This is not safe or appropriate patient care,” said BCNU President Debra McPherson. Lakh Bagri, executive director at SMH, said Wednesday the number of patients being seen in the new emergency department in Surrey had jumped 16 to 18 per cent since it opened Oct. 1. He said some visitors might be being drawn to the new facility from outlying hospitals, or have simply returned to their local hospital following media coverage of the opening. He noted patient visits routinely surge in the fall when the weather gets colder and more viruses begin to circulate. McPherson said the troubles do not stem from a “sudden spike” in visits. “These hospitals have been dealing with chaos for the weeks and months – and in Surrey – since the day the new ER opened.” The BCNU, which represents about 40,000 nurses and allied health care employees, said nurse-to-patient ratios have increased steadily due to unfilled staffing vacancies. One nurse at SMH who didn’t want to be named called the situation of late a “nightmare.” She said some staff are so overwhelmed, they’ve been reduced to tears and have threatened to

Dr. Nigel Murray
quit. McPherson said the union wants a long-term solution to chronic overcrowding problems. “Fraser Health officials need to get out of their board rooms and see the chaos in the ERs,” said McPherson. “There aren’t enough funded beds, staffing levels are grossly inadequate and it’s having a significant impact on safe patient care.” Congestion plagued SMH for years, prompting the $512-million redevelopment of the ER, which is now five times the size it used to be and includes a Critical Care Tower set to open in June. SMH’s ER sees
between 120 and 360 patients arrive daily. Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray said the new eight-storey Critical Care Tower at SMH will bring 151 additional inpatient beds that should help. He denied congestion is currently a crisis in Fraser Health. “I wouldn’t say it’s a major problem,” Murray said. “We always have bursts of congestion. We had some at Abbotsford and that has settled down a little bit although it’s higher than I’d like it to be.” Congestion isn’t optimal, he said, but it’s a reality of the health care system and underscores
the need to ensure patients leave hospital when they’re ready to go. He said Fraser Health has added 1,000 nurses over the past three years and invested $10 million in specialized nurse training. Murray said SMH may be drawing more patients that used to go to other hospitals, but it’s too early to say for sure. “I think it’s just the newness factor,” he said. “People think it’s an opportunity to get care promptly and in a new environment. I don’t blame them.” Murray also noted the new SMH ER has B.C.’s first dedicated children’s emergency department outside of B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. Emergency visits by children to SMH are up 50 per cent since the opening, he said. Murray speculated that many parents, particularly those in areas like Surrey and Langley, who in the past might have driven to Vancouver to get what they perceived to be the best care for their sick child are now going to SMH.

SENATE SCANDAL
RAESIDE
Damage done
T
he ongoing Senate scandal has certainly done its share of damage — to the prime minister, the Conservative party, the institution of the Senate and politicians in general. The damage may not spread past that group, but it is significant and it may be lasting. The Senate is certainly at its low point. It has never been popular with Canadians, being seen as a repository for bagmen, party hacks and failed politicians. While a few individual senators have done important and significant work, as a whole the institution does little of lasting importance. Now it has clearly been shown that many senators, and this goes far beyond Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, have had their hands in the cookie jar. Even when they get caught, the Senate and indeed the prime minister do little or nothing to change the culture of entitlement, which is widespread through the federal government. It isn’t just politicians who feel they are entitled to benefits that most other Canadians don’t get. Public servants have clauses in their contracts relating to sick leave, indexed pensions, severance and extended health care that most others can only dream of. The prime minister first took office in 2006 on a pledge to reform the Senate. It is now clear he has no idea of how to do so. A court decision in Quebec has basically ruled all his reform ideas cannot be implemented, and the court decision implies that the Senate will never be abolished, unless most provinces agree. Even if, in the court of public opinion, Stephen Harper is cleared of direct knowledge of off-the-books payments to senators, the public won’t soon forget that he appointed these three senators, and that he campaigned vigorously on Senate reform. As for the Conservative party, in the next election its fortunes are totally tied to Harper. If he falters, so does the party. It has no plan B. – Black Press

A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled that it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient care areas. Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors and visitors will have to put patients first. Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members who insist they have a right to refuse immunization and increase exposure to patients. They have apparently run up the white flag. “We will be telling our members to comply with the new policy, or risk being fired,” said an overly dramatic Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association.

workers to defy common sense? A hint is provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog. This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corporations that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick days, Tieleman asserts. Ah, so an infected health care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Last week BCNU president Debra McPherson was warning about “chaos” at the new Surrey Memorial emergency ward, her latest of a career of media protests. The big new facility is already overflowing, and more beds and more staff are needed, stat! Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility.

Don’t kowtow to basement dwellers
ONCE AGAIN, I have returned to my home in
the vastly overpopulated subdivision in Clayton to find yet another petition to allow parking on both sides of the street. I’m sick of this. I bought a house with no basement suite, and no carriage house. I have grown children who drive and they must park on the back road. The city allowed the building of all these multi-family homes but did nothing to ensure
that the infrastructure was sufficient for this weak-minded endeavour. I have suggested a couple of ideas to the engineering department but obviously I’m not smart enough to put forth any ideas (I bought in Clayton, after all). The roads in and around the subdivisions should all be one way with angled parking on one side. This would make room for many more vehicles and safety for everyone else. I come at this problem from a professional
viewpoint as well. I drive a fire truck down these very roads. Tight is an understatement. Garbage and disposal trucks have the same problems. Surrey, don’t allow parking on both sides of my street. Come for a visit. See what I am saying and foremost, don’t kowtow to the carriage and basement dwellers of the area.

Held hostage on the phone
I TYPED this email after just hanging up the phone with Shaw, where I just wasted one hour and 23 minutes of my life that I won’t get back, and I am quite angry. After waiting on hold for all that time, I reluctantly hung up the phone and I still had not spoken to anyone. Various voices kept telling me how “important” I was and to just keep holding, as well as letting me know that they had different things to offer me. Companies like this have you at a disadvantage while you are on hold and they take the opportunity to try and sell you upgrades. BC Hydro, Telus, Shaw, etc. are the companies that I find are the worst for making their customers wait so long on hold. These big companies keep raising their prices, but they can never seem to find any extra money to hire more staff to man the phones, so that their “important” customers won’t have to wait so long on hold. It doesn’t seem to matter the day or time you call, you almost always have to wait on hold for at least 40 minutes or longer. Sometimes I think that when they realize you have been on hold for a long time, they don’t want to press that button and speak to you because they somehow know that you will most likely be irate for having waited so long. This goes hand-in-hand with my decision – do I hang up after I

Dust control is working THE RESULTS of the Corporation
of Delta’s dust monitoring are encouraging and a clear indication that dust control measures by rail carriers and terminals are working. The sampling results from four different stations in Tsawwassen show the incidence of dust fall was very low and well below dust fall standards – even during the driest July on record. It can be expected that measurements during the cooler and wetter months will be even better. One monitoring station alongside the rail track did show a higher level of dust over the course of the month compared to other stations, but let’s put that into perspective. During the month the monitoring took place, 362 trains – 48,870 rail cars in all – passed by carrying over two million tonnes of coal. And what was collected by that monitoring station by the railway amounted to 200 mg of coal, roughly the weight of 20 grains of sand. Again, we would expect results from other months to be lower. The coal industry has been a key part of B.C.’s economy for decades, supporting tens of thousands of well paying jobs and contributing billions to the provincial economy. We’re proud of what we do and we work hard every day to do it even better. Alan Fryer Spokesperson, Coal Alliance

Are you missing a box of family photos? Guildford couple wants to reunite numerous pictures with rightful owner by Evan Seal ARRIVING HOME after a summer vacation in 2007,
Esther and her husband Jim were shocked to find the inside of their home completely flooded with water. The damage had been caused by a leaking pipe below the sink in the upstairs bathroom, and the damage to the main floor was so extensive that a restoration company was called in to fix it. All of the couple’s belongings were moved into a Newton storage facility owned by the restoration company while repairs to the ceiling and floors were being done. Once the repairs were completed, the couple retrieved their belongings,
unpacking one box at a time. However, one box caught Esther’s eye. Taking a quick glimpse inside, she noticed the box was full of photographs and she decided to put it aside until she had more time to sort through it all. The box remained in the couple’s basement for a number of years until Esther again stumbled upon it just over a year ago and decided this was the time to organize all the framed and unframed images. As she began sorting, she quickly realized she didn’t recognize anyone in the photos. The wedding photos, the RCMP officer in Red Serge, the young hockey goalie, a family enjoying Christmas dinner… no one looked familiar. Despite
multiple calls to the restoration company, the owners of the box could not be located. “There are so many photos here with sentimental value,” said Esther, “we just don’t want them trashed.” The couple is hoping that someone will recognize the photos and help them reunite the family with their pictures . “We just want them returned to their owners,” she said. To view a slideshow of some of the photos, go to A wedding picture is surreyleader.com. If you think you know who the photos belong to, email The Leader at newsroom@ among the photos a Surrey couple discovered. surreyleader.com

The new lot will have space for an estimated 300 vehicles. The main lot holds about 480. The new fees – including increases at some existing pay lots – are anticipated to generate $2.2 million.

4 lbs whole butternut squash (about 2 medium), halved lengthwise and seeds removed 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick) 1 medium apple 1/2 medium yellow sweet onion 8 fresh sage leaves 5 cups low-sodium organic vegetable or chicken broth 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, for garnish (optional) Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the squash pieces cut-side up on the baking sheet. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and brush all of it over the tops and insides of the squash halves (alternatively, you can rub it on evenly with your fingers). Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until knife tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, peel, core, and cut the apple into medium dice. Cut the onion into medium dice. Peel and chop carrots. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the apple, onion, carrots and sage, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside. When the squash is ready, set the baking sheet on a wire rack until the squash is cool enough to handle. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh into the saucepan with the sautéed apples, onions and carrots; discard the skins. Add the broth plus measured salt and pepper, stir to combine, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces of squash, until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream. Using a blender, purée the soup in batches until smooth, removing the small cap from the blender lid (the pour lid) and covering the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam to escape and prevents the lid from popping off ). Alternatively, use an immersion blender. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve garnished with the pumpkin seeds, if using.

From North Delta to Hollywood 12-year-old’s toe-less socks are gaining popularity on both sides of border by Evan Seal
HAVING GONE toe to toe with the dragons on the CBC TV show Dragons’ Den a year ago, a young Delta entrepreneur is set to enlighten them on the deal they walked away from. Last year Katelyn Lohr, a 12-year-old Grade 8 student at Sands Secondary School in North Delta, made a pitch to the dragons, looking for financial help building her toeless sock company Freetoes. “I wasn’t nervous at all,” said Katelyn, “they (the Dragons) were all really nice.” Although the confident youngster wasn’t able to secure investment capital in the den,
her company has since shown tremendous growth. To date, Freetoes are sold in more than 100 locations in both the U.S. and Canada, with over 30,000 pairs sold. A crew from Dragons’ Den recently spent a few days following Katelyn around North Delta and even to the Emmy Awards in Hollywood, California, where she met some television celebrities and promoted her company. “We were able to put (Freetoes) in the gift bags at the Emmy’s,” said the pre-teen. She was also able to meet numerous daytime soap opera stars, along with Lou Ferrigno, the original Incredible Hulk, and Alex Trebeck, the host of Jeopardy.

He said the capital investment for five plants could hit $100 billion, far exceeding the biggest recent private investment of the new $3.3 billion RioTinto Alcan aluminum smelter in Kitimat, and creating more than 100,000 jobs. That work can extend across the province, Coleman said.

G R E G S M I T H I N J U R Y L AW Y E R Having essentially limitless resources is perhaps the most obvious advantage ICBC has in dealing with a victim of a car crash. However ICBC’s main advantage is not so obvious.
victims are willing to take the chance of going to trial. By comparison ICBC can reasonably predict they will sometimes win and sometimes lose, such that any one loss is spread out over many other cases.
If you are injured and trying to settle your claim you only have one opportunity to conclude your claim. ICBC concludes thousands of cases. As such winning or losing any one case makes little difference to ICBC. This difference between ICBC and the victim is vital when considering how cases conclude.
The contest between a onetime litigant and a frequent litigant has further advantages for ICBC. The onetime litigant necessarily has to focus on what they see as fair in their case. ICBC may choose to do this, or they may decide to follow a one-size-fits-all strategy.
Imagine you go to trial and the Judge awards you less than ICBC offered to pay. In this case you may have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to ICBC. This is what lawyers call court costs. In addition, ICBC will not cover your expenses for going to trial which is likely to be several thousands of dollars.
For example, ICBC may decide to deny claims for future income loss in all cases involving neck and back injuries. This type of loss can be substantial. The average Judge award for this loss in 2013 is over $55,000. But whether the loss will be awarded is also uncertain. In 2013 Judges have awarded zero dollars for this loss in approximately 20 reported decisions. This compares with close to 60 trials where the Judge awarded money for this loss.
Our first concern is you and your peace of mind. Our team will take the burdens from your shoulders and handle all the details of preparing, presenting and settling your claim.

This shows that victims win 75% and only lose 25% of the time. Not bad odds. But when you only get one chance to play the game, the risk of losing makes it hard for accident victims to decide to go to trial. The repeat litigant, ICBC, can ignore these odds confident in the knowledge that a large percentage of people will not take the risk of losing. If the accident victim had the opportunity to go to trial 10 times, then the favourable odds (3 to 1) would make trial an attractive option. But with only one chance to win or lose, roughly 98% of people opt to settle their claims and not go to trial. This type of advantage is inherent to the system. Faced with this reality it is vital that accident victims do all they can to strengthen their claim to give them the best possible opportunity to satisfactorily conclude their injury claim.

NEXT HOME GAMES
BC Hockey League rivals West Kelowna Warriors and the Chilliwack Chiefs – the Eagles split a pair of home games at South Surrey Arena, losing 3-2 to the Prince George Spruce Kings Friday before bouncing back to defeat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Saturday night, 4-2. Both games came down to the final 20 minutes. On Friday, the Eagles and Spruce Kings were tied 1-1 after 40 minutes of play, but the visitors took the lead in the third, when Chad Staley scored and unassisted marker midway through the period to break the tie, and though Eagles’ forward Nathan Renouf re-tied the game just 41 seconds later, the Kings escaped with the win when Jeremiah Luedtke scored with 2:36 left in the game. It was the third game in the row that the Eagles had lost a game in which they led, or were tied, heading into the third period. The Eagles’ other goal came off the stick of Nic Pierog, whose shorthanded marker at 9:28 of the first period opened the scoring. Luedtke scored on the powerplay for Prince George in the second to tie the game at 1-1. Devon Fordyce was tagged with the loss for the Eagles, stopping 31 of 34 shots he faced. A day later, however, the Eagles appeared to shake their recent third-period struggles by exploding for three goals in the final frame, en route to a

Surrey did not get off to the best of starts in front of the home fans, as the Bulldogs jumped on the home team early to take a 2-0 led by the 11:33 mark of the first, on goals from Zak Bowles and Zach Funke, but the Eagles cut the deficit to 2-1 early in the second period when Danton Heinen scored two minutes into the frame. And in the third period, the Eagles took over. Heinen scored his second goal of the game – and his sixth of the season – on the power play, to make
it 2-2, and the two squads stayed deadlocked until the final six minutes, when Brett Mulcahy gave the Eagles a 3-2 lead – with Heinen garnering an assist. Michael Roberts added the insurance marker in the final minute. Fordyce was again in net for Surrey, stopping 25 shots to earn his third win since joining the Eagles late last month. As has been the case for much of the last month, the Eagles sit fourth in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, but the gap between them and the first-place Langley
Rivermen continues to grow. The Rivermen, winners of four consecutive games, are now 11 points up on the Eagles, who sport an 8-11-1-0 record. The Eagles play a rare midweek tilt against the Coquitlam Express Wednesday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre, before hitting the ice for a two-game home-andhome series against Chilliwack. On Friday, the two squads will play at South Surrey Arena, and Saturday will square off at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre.

Soccer nationals in Newton Kwantlen hosts eight-team CCAA tournament
by Rick Kupchuk KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC
University will host the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association’s (CCAA) women’s soccer national championship Wednesday through Saturday at Newton Athletic Park. They are hoping the tournament will be among the most successful, and are guaranteed it will be the largest. For the first time, the championship tournament is an eight -team competition, up from six in previous years.
The five league champions from across the country, along with the host Eagles and two wild-cards will be competing. The RSEQ (Quebec) conference and the Alberta Colleges Athletic Association (ACAC) have earned the wild-cards for this year’s tournament based on their success over the past three seasons. The Indiennes d’Ahuntsic are the defending CCAA champions, but are just third in the national rankings. RSEQ champion Elans de Garneau holds down to top spot, followed by the ACAC champion
MacEwan Griffins. The Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack of Kamloops are the PACWEST (Pacific Western Conference) champions and are ranked fourth. Elans de Garneau will be the first opponent for the host Kwantlen Eagles, coming off a 2-7-4 (won-lost-tied) record in the PACWEST league. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Semifinal games will be played at 3 and 5:30 p.m. Thursday, with medal games at 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
