Former bureaucrat possessed thousands of images of abused children
Gaudry gets 18 months for pornography Sheila Reynolds Black Press
White Rock resident Kip Gaudry – a former director of engineering for the Municipality of Delta – has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for possessing thousands of images and movies of child pornography. Gaudry, 59, pleaded guilty to one charge of possessing child pornography in November. A judge delivered his
sentence last week in Surrey Provincial Court last week. In imposing his sentence Jan. 13, the judge said he had to consider the specific nature of the child pornography found on both home and work computers. Much of it involved extremely young children – even babies – between the ages of one and five years old being abused by adult men. While all child pornography is bad,
the judge said, the explicit images found in Gaudry’s possession were “toward the more horrible end of the scale.” As well, Gaudry’s prior convictions were taken into account. Under his full legal name of Cleo Faust Gaudry, he pleaded guilty in 1995 to numerous counts of sexual assault and was sentenced to three-and-a-half years. The crimes were committed while he was working in the District of Houston,
a small community in northwestern B.C. At the time, a Houston newspaper quoted a senior RCMP officer as saying that some of the charges involved young people. Court heard Thursday that within 18 months of serving that sentence, Gaudry was accessing child pornography online. In March 2009, Gaudry quit as Del� see page 4

An afternoon fire engulfed a fifth-wheel trailer at the Peace Arch RV Park last weekend, reducing it to a charred mess. “This thing burned like a pile of paper,” owner Sam Naidu said as he surveyed the wreckage Tuesday morning.

“There’s nothing to be salvaged.” No one was injured in the blaze at the 14601 40 Ave. site, which Naidu reported around 3 p.m. Saturday. Naidu, 56, said he was watching football when he noticed smoke lingering near the ceiling. When he ran outside to investigate, he could see the back of his fridge on fire,
and flames shooting from the roof. He and his neighbours tried to quell the blaze, but “it was too late,” Naidu said. He only had time to grab his keys and wallet, and move his truck out of harm’s way before the fire spread. The fire sent thick black smoke billowing � see page 4

news Mixed reviews after Hiebert rings 25,000 constituents
Mass call-out elicits participation: MP Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Twenty-five thousand South Surrey, White Rock and Cloverdale residents received a phone call from MP Russ Hiebert Monday. The telephone town hall – held from 6:307:30 p.m. – was touted by the area’s MP as the first of its kind in Canada, “a really neat way to encourage participation in democracy.” Many weeks in the making, it was also a chance for participants to speak directly with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. “I haven’t heard of any other Member of Parliament using this technology, although it may have happened,” Hiebert said Monday, hours before making the call-out. One man who dialed in about 10 minutes
into the conversation described the endeavour as a useful exercise. Bill Taylor said questions to the politicians were on issues ranging from taxation and job creation to why government is spending money on defence equipment as opposed to social programs. All questions were directed at Flaherty, noted Taylor, a White Rock resident who volunteers at Hiebert’s South Surrey office. Given his involvement with the constituency board, Taylor said he chose to listen rather than pose questions himself. Not everyone was happy about the unsolicited interruption to their dinner-hour. Comments on Peace Arch News’ website prior to the call-out criticized it as poorly timed and a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Taylor said those he heard on the he told PAN, noting constituents who stayed on the line would be able line appreciated the opportunity the telephone meeting provided. to participate in various surveys.

Police investigate near 198 Street and 16 Avenue, the scene of an early morning head-on collision Tuesday. One person was killed in the crash.
One person died after a dump truck hit a four-door pickup truck near 198 Street and 16 Avenue in Langley around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. Police said the westbound dump truck hit the smaller vehicle headon, killing the driver of the pickup truck, sending both off the road and taking out a power line in the process. The name of the victim was not released by Peace Arch News press time. The coroner’s office and commercial vehicle safety enforcement investigators were called in, and the road was blocked for hours. Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said investigators believe the gravel truck crossed the centre line. Police ask for any witnesses to contact the Langley RCMP traffic section at 604-532-3200.
Peace Arch Hospital staff members doing their best, says Fraser Health spokesperson
‘Continuous attention’ on overcrowding in ER Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The Ministry of Health is continuing to monitor overcrowding in the emergency department at Peace Arch Hospital, according to a ministry spokesman. Responding to statements to Peace Arch News last week by retired former PAH chief of surgery Dr. Ray Dykstra – in which Dykstra characterized the overloaded ER in the first three days of 2011 as the worst he’s seen over two years of doing temporary locum placements across Canada – Health Ministry public affairs officer Brian Cotton said winter months are traditionally busy for emergency departments, but that Fraser Health and hospital staff are doing their best to minimize congestion. But that’s not good enough for South Surrey resident Mary Waggoner. After reading Friday’s article, she contacted Peace Arch News to say her experience with the hospital in December was that she – while severely ill with a bacterial infection – found herself assisting other more helpless patients who, like her, felt abandoned in a hallway outside emergency, The experience – which included helping

We were out of sight and out of mind. People should not be treated like that.” On Dec. 15, when her husband’s angry complaints seemed to be heeded, she said she was moved to the fourth floor and received excellent care.

Semiahmoo to address park Semiahmoo First Nation is expected to make a statement about future plans for Semiahmoo Park this week. Band councillor Joanne Charles told Peace Arch News that a news release could be expected Wednesday. Since the Semiahmoo First
Nation property was fenced in December, rumours have multiplied that future development was as much a reason as safety issues due to a sinkhole on the land, or disrespect shown by dog walkers. Charles declined to discuss the rumours in advance of the
planned release. “We’ve heard the rumour mill, too, and I can tell you those rumours are coming from residents, not the Semiahmoo First Nation,” she said. Visit www.peacearchnews.com this week or see Friday’s Peace Arch News for details.
Gaudry to stay away from children � from page 1 ta’s director of engineering after police searched his home in North Delta and his office at municipal hall, seizing several computers and hard drives. Ten thousand still images and more than 300 movies involving child pornography were found. Investigators also discovered Gaudry – who moved to White Rock last year – had installed special software in an attempt to hide his activities. Wearing blue jeans and a black
leather jacket, the bespectacled Gaudry sat calmly while the sentence was read. He was ordered to serve three years probation following jail, is not permitted drug or alcohol use, must have no contact with children under 18, is banned from public parks where children under 16 would be expected and cannot possess a computer or cellphone that can access the Internet. In delivering the sentence, the judge acknowledged Gaudry, 59, is a competent and intelligent
man who had overcome a “horrific” childhood himself, which included abuse and assault. The Crown was seeking a sentence of between 12 and 18 months, while defence sought a six-month sentence. The second count he was facing, accessing child pornography, was stayed. Gaudry now faces trial on an unrelated charge of indecent assault on a female in connection with a 1973 incident in Winnipeg. - with files from Dan Ferguson
Propane explosion feared in blaze � from page 1 into the sky, where winds pulled it westward over King George Boulevard. Park manager Lita Chow said surrounding residents had feared the heat could cause a 100-pound propane tank that fueled Naidu’s trailer to explode. It was located just two metres from the trailer. “It (could) go up any time, because the connection was still open,” Chow said. “We were so afraid that that tank’s going to blow up… there would be so many trailers gone.” Fortunately, Surrey firefighters’ efforts to keep the tank cool were
successful. A garden hose was used until the crew’s water truck arrived. Chow said the trailer burned “really fast,” and the flames went “sky high… as high as the cedar trees in here.” Naidu lost everything, she said. Chow described Naidu as “a nice guy… very humble, gentle, very friendly. “It means a lot to see him lose everything,” she said. Chow said several park residents stepped up to help, offering Naidu clothing and a place to stay. He declined, noting he has the support of family in the area.
Naidu – who has lived at the park on-and-off for years when not travelling for work, and has RVed for the past 26 years – said his trailer was insured, but that he has been told the contents are not covered. Items destroyed include clothing, tools, fishing tackle and a laptop, he said. Despite the turn of events, Naidu said he is OK. “I thought I lost my sense of humour in the fire, but I’ll get it back here in a couple days,” he said. Fire prevention Chief Ron Cross said Tuesday cause of the fire remains under investigation.

news Empty liquor bottles, beer cans serve as ‘time capsule’
Museum walls bottled up Owens said there are two theories about how the bottle got into the wall of the building, which was moved closer to Marine Drive from its original trackside location in 1984. “One is that it was an informal time capsule of sorts,” she said. “The other is that the boiler room was a gathering spot at lunchtimes for train people.” It’s possible, Owens acknowledged, that a trip to the boiler room at the station in hard winters during the late 1940s and early 1950s wasn’t only about refueling the boiler. But she said the labels of the bottles and cans have an undeniable period charm, even down to what would now be considered stereotypical Northwest imagery of First Nations canoes and tepees. “Whether they were meant to be or not – they are a little time capsule,” she said.
Alex Browne Staff Reporter
There’s a definite hangover from the past around the latest find at the White Rock Museum and Archives. Kelvin Fauth, superintending the KVS Construction crew working on the current renovation of the museum – formerly Great Northern Railway’s historic White Rock station – wasn’t expecting to find a stash of beer and liquor bottles in the wall of the building near the old boiler room. But that’s exactly what he found Jan. 6, according to museum collections and exhibits co-ordinator Camille Owens – who says yesterday’s trash often opens a window on the past far more fascinating than the formal ways we memorialize it. And though she’s joking when she says the collection of 60-year-old empties will get pride of place in the new museum’s permanent collection, she’s been treating the find like any other artifact – cleaning it and taking precautions to preserve another item found with it, which seems to be an engineer’s style silklined woolen cap. “It’s hard to tell whether its a black cap or a grey cap – it’s so dirty,” she said. “I put it in the fridge to stop the bugs from coming out of it.” She noted the find includes cans and bottles of U.S. origin, including Schmidt Beer Cans, Carling Pilsner Old Style and Hart’s Western Style brown “stubby” bottles, plus mickey-sized bottles that once held Calvert’s

Beer and liquor bottles found at the museum. Rye Whiskey, Seagram’s products and Nawico Port. All of the bottles seem to date from the 194951 period, Owens said, and were accompanied by two documents from the same period – a baggage tag from the
Crown Zellerbach mill in Ocean Falls, B.C. and a pager of names of senior customs officials from 1954. “The building also housed the customs office at that time,” community historian Hugh Ellenwood noted.

Plight of Haiti gives us pause for thought
F
or the people of Haiti, there is little hope to cling to. It’s been more than a year since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake brought this nation to its knees. Billions of dollars have been pledged to help the country get back on its feet, but the country still can’t get a foothold, it seems. From Haiti’s grim cholera-ridden streets, we in Canada should have a new appreciation for what we have, especially for the basics of food, water, shelter, health care and well-run government. Peninsula resident and nurse Michele Goodsell – who travelled to Haiti in September to help the rebuilding effort – was aghast at the conditions in which native Haitians were living. People lived in tents or modest, unstable structures; the smell of burning garbage filled the air; dead bodies were often seen on the roadside, strewn amongst the trash. “It’s horrific, the way people are living,” she told Peace Arch News, upon her return. It’s clear from such first-hand accounts that, while the reconstruction of the country is moving forward, it is doing so in excruciatingly slow motion. In fact, only five per cent of the rubble in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince has been cleared since the earthquake. Haiti was already a nation on the brink of disaster before the earthquake hit. According to Canadian officials, 85 per cent of its citizens lived in abject poverty before the quake. Only one in five had access to clean water. After the earth shook, 30 hospitals were destroyed. Three out of four medical schools were levelled, as was the nation’s largest nursing hospital. Add hurricanes, disease and political instability to the mix, and the devastation is worse than some war zones. Meanwhile, many of us Canadians go about our daily lives and find plenty to complain about. Some Haitians lost entire families in the quake and have little to live for. One million people are homeless or in camps. Sexual violence is rampant. There are stories of progress, but they’re coming at a glacial pace. Yet, there are enough glimmers of hope that the Haitian people haven’t given up on their nation. It’s a sombre situation that offers us plenty of reasons to pause and be grateful for what we have in Canada.

Recall campaign descends into ugly farce
provide security to his home and the Elections BC office. Fight HST ringmaster Chris Delaney, along with the NDP-affiliated recall organizer for Oak Bay, downplayed this. Delaney suggested the timing was suspicious, as per his earlier baseless attacks on James’ impartiality. Vander Zalm also muttered about the government working with James and unspecified elements of the “Big Corporate Media” to scuttle the recall. This is the latest vision to emerge from the Fight HST clown car of conspiracy theories. Previous scenarios featured Canada being taken over by the European Union, and the shopworn plot to impose world government in the name of global warming. Delaney continues his frantic efforts to launch the BC First Party, which is coincidentally being developed in tandem with the recall campaign. In his role as BC First “spokesman,” Delaney recently cranked out a new conspiracy. The BC Liberals are forcing BC Hydro to undertake expensive repairs to dams and transmission facilities, not to expand or prevent further blackouts in downtown Vancouver, but to make BC Hydro go broke! Then they’re going to sell it off to General Electric! This is a variation on a loopy theory advanced by Rafe Mair, wherein Gordon Campbell plots to dam the Fraser River and then sell Hydro off to GE. NDP leadership candidates would be wise to follow Miller’s lead and distance themselves from this increasingly toxic exercise. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

He had reason to believe Editor: Re: Incredible misquotations, Jan. 12 letters. I was intrigued by Curtis Brassington’s letter to the editor. He accused some religious followers of “misrepresenting an atheist’s view to support their superstitions.” However, in this case, it is he who is guilty of this very thing, except in reverse. Einstein was not an atheist. The quote cited only proves Einstein did not believe in a “personal God.” If Brassington had taken his own advice and done a little more than “a 10-second Internet search,” he would also have found these notable quotes from Einstein: “I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.”
“In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views.” “I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.” There are many great minds, scientists like Einstein included, who fall into the atheist and nonatheist camps. Since both beliefs can’t be right and none of us were there to observe the beginning of the cosmos, regardless of which
camp you are in, you have to accept one or the other belief system on faith. Time will tell who has put their faith in the correct system. That, I believe, was the point of H.A. Friesen’s original letter Dec. 24. Dan Baxter, Surrey
Fix our growing health concern Editor: Re: Crisis at the ER, says returning surgeon, Jan. 14. Congratulations to Dr. Ray Dykstra for providing a fresh comparative perspective on the ER situation at the Peace Arch Hospital. His observations, following locums “from Newfoundland to Port Alberni and Yellowknife,” serve to highlight the serious nature of overcrowding, long waiting periods and extreme stress on medical staff and administration. Those of us who have had cause to be grateful for ER services are well
aware of many of Dykstra’s concerns, such as: “the population to bed ratio has never been properly balanced.” When will the B.C. government acknowledge the need to monitor and take action on demographic change relative to hospital capacity? Iain Barnes, Surrey ■ Dr. Ray Dykstra has every right to be concerned about the Peace Arch Hospital and any other facility in White Rock. South Surrey has been expanding its growth rapidly for quite some time now, and one cannot help but wonder why more facilities have not been put in place to accommodate such growth. Is one small hospital expected to treat all these people? What about care homes in place for our elderly? What about schools and daycare centres for our children? Did anyone stop to think we might need more facilities to accommodate the rapid growth –or are we all just waiting for the inevitable to happen? Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Picture imperfect Editor: Re: Mayor rebuked over staff criticism, Jan. 12. It looks like another round of finger-pointing took place last week at city hall and a White Rock council meeting broke out. This time the “pointers” were the council members themselves, who conveniently ignored their participation in last summer’s ‘scandal’ involving the removal of pictures of past mayors from those hallowed halls, and instead decided to take Mayor Catherine Ferguson to task for her seemingly one-manband mishandling of the situation. Now I ask you, does this council really want to pass the buck so badly on this issue that they need to be on record about it? D.C. Lascelle, Surrey ■ Six-to-one. That was the vote in White Rock council on the motion to express to the mayor that her actions could have been better dealt with by working through staff and council in the unfortunate incident of the wall of mayors’ photographs. You may remember the situation of the employee that was reprimanded by the mayor in a rather public manner (Forefathers’ photo flap at White Rock city hall, Aug. 11). Without being at the in-camera meetings and understanding completely what occurred in this unfortunate picture/employee/ mayor situation, one would think in a democratic society that the six-toone vote would have ended with the mayor accepting the will of council and the situation being resolved. Having been at the council meeting on Jan. 10, it appeared to me most people were surprised the mayor chose to make this a public airing. Instead of working with her council to solve this unfortunate

Fallout continues from the removal and replacement of portraits of past mayors on city hall walls last August. dilemma, the mayor decided to hire a lawyer. This bodes very poorly for her relationship with council. The fact that long-serving and respected councillors like MaryWade Anderson spoke about the need to keep a code-of-conduct bylaw for situations like this, and newbie Grant Meyer’s heartfelt comments regarding the angst felt by standing strong for the rights of the employee against the ruling mayor were touching. Lynn Sinclair’s thoughtful description of what happened when the employee was attempting to make room for Ferguson’s picture, and Al Campbell’s statement that all the mayor had to do was answer some questions and this matter would have long since been resolved, did not in anyway look to me like aiming to get elections votes – as the Mayor suggested – but instead attempting to make council and city hall work in a democratic way. To me it looked like all the mayor had to do was say “I’m sorry, I made a mistake.” Instead, we have this very unproductive fiasco. Peace Arch News has the live footage of portions of the meeting on its video clips at www.
peacearchnews.com. You should have a look at it and decide for yourself if lawyers needed to be brought in. We are starting to make this situation the norm rather than the last resort, and I think it is time to put an end to legal wrangling and work as a group of seven mature elected officials working for the city’s welfare. Susan Potzold, White Rock ■ It appears Coun. Al Campbell has either a short or a selective memory. He was leading the investigation, and, at his request, on Sept. 28 I wrote him the following letter: “You asked me to write you a letter telling what I was told by a city hall staff member… “I came in to city hall on Monday morning to drop off something for the mayor. While there I noticed the walls were blank and asked (the staff member) where all the pictures were. She told me they were being sent down to the museum. I asked why and she said ‘that is where they belong.’ I said that I thought that was wrong. They should be at city hall. “She asked why and I said ‘because they belong there.’ She said, ‘no they belonged in the museum.’ There
were several people in the office when the conversation took place.” I left thinking this was wrong and called a PAN reporter because I thought people needed be aware. If it was clear the removal of the pictures was temporary – as claimed by Coun. Lynne Sinclair at the time – it seems only to have been clear to her. The city staff I spoke with were convinced the pictures were moving to the museum and that the museum was the appropriate place for them. Even Coun. Helen Fathers told PAN: “Sinclair implied that we all knew they were coming down. Maybe she knows something that I don’t.” (Photo fallout continues at city hall, Aug. 13) This investigation and subsequent rebuke by city council is just one more example of council’s campaign to undermine the efforts of the mayor, as were the tactics employed by Sinclair at the time of the incident. The mayor works so hard to make White Rock a better place to live. Her efforts would be so much more effective if council would just work with her rather than constantly resisting, for whatever their ulterior motives might be. Ruth Gable, Surrey

news City faces ‘significant financial risk’ if deadlines not met
White Rock to apply for project grant extensions
Save
The City of White Rock wants more time to finish ongoing projects – including its Centre for Active Living – that are dependent on grant funding. Councillors last week gave unanimous support for taking advantage of a government offer to extend the deadline for finishing projects supported by Recreational Infrastructure Canada and Build Canada grants to Oct. 31, 2011. The original deadline was March 31. “There is a significant financial risk if the city is not able to complete by March 31, 2011,” Rob Thompson, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, explained in a staff report recommending the city apply for the time extensions. The city was approved for Build Canada funding for three projects: the Centre for Active Living ($2,161,060), revitalization of the museum and archives ($917,334) and the city’s pedestrian improvement initiative ($987,200). The grants represent up to 66 per cent of the project funding. RiNC grants – representing up to 33 per cent of funding – were to benefit 12 projects. Of those, 10 are completed or underway. The RiNC grants support three categories of project –

If the city doesn’t apply for the extensions and is unable to meet the March 31 target, it will be liable for any portion of those project costs that would have otherwise been covered by the grants. If it gets the extensions and doesn’t meet the Oct. 31 deadline, the same conditions will apply. According to Thompson, the
number of grants approved for city projects, staff workload, weather conditions and strict time limits on submitting proof of payment for the work all support asking for the extensions. “There is a real chance that some of the necessary construction and associated paperwork will not be completed by March 31, 2011.” Deadline to apply for the extensions is Jan. 14. Applications must include a council resolution committing to finishing the projects and accepting responsibility for any costs incurred beyond Oct. 31. - Tracy Holmes

A leaky drainpipe at the Kent Street Activity Centre in White Rock caused “havocâ€? in the centre’s cafeteria last week, but did not put a damper on programming. Sylvia Yee, the city’s acting leisure services director, confirmed Monday the activity schedule went ahead as usual, despite the wet. “There was just a lot of water. Part of it was because it was freezing and melting‌ it ended up coming through the tea room floor.â€? The leak was discovered early last week. KSAC member Ellen Neal said it
caused problems for caterers of the weekly Wednesday night dance, as well as in the downstairs library. “It is causing a bit of havoc,� Neal said. City of White Rock operations manager Jorgen Johansen said the problem was aggravated by the recent rain, but said necessary repairs, underway Monday, were neither extensive or costly. They were expected to take a couple of days as some drywall had to be replaced, he said. For safety reasons, a seating area in front of the KSAC kitchen was taken out of commission for the duration of the repairs.

The leadership of WorldServe would certainly like to think we could do this in other communities,” she said. “It’s been a great adventure.” To celebrate its one-year anniversary, WorldServe Thrift, 1401 Johnston Rd., hosts a customer appreciation event Jan. 21-22 during regular 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. store hours.

‘Biker granny’ born to ride

To her grandchildren, she’s ‘biker granny.’ To her motorcycle group, she’s just another one of the guys. But to some women who are unsure about jumping on a bike, Joni Miles could be called an inspiration. The White Rock resident said she bought her first motorcycle four years ago after divorcing her husband of 30 years who wasn’t keen on her desire to ride. She was 68 years old. “It did (scare me) in a way, but I was determined to do it,� Miles said. “It’s in my blood.� Her interest may have been sparked by her parents early on – very early on. Her father had a Birmingham Small Arms motorcycle; her pregnant mother would ride in the sidecar. Or it could’ve started with the first ride she remembers, with one of her first boyfriends – a 24-year-old who had moved from Scotland and was 10 years her senior. Exactly when her yearning began doesn’t really matter; Miles just knows it has been present most her life. “If we were riding in the car and a bunch of motorcycles would go by, it would just give me goose pimples,� she said. Unbeknownst to her husband at the time, Miles took a motorcycle course while in her 30s, but she was sick the day of the program’s final test and never received her licence. When looking to buy her first motorcycle four years ago, Miles searched for the same model she had trained on three decades earlier – which was smaller than most, allowing her feet to touch the ground – and found one secondhand in Vancouver. “I didn’t have any money so I put it on my credit card. Then, of course, I didn’t have a licence and couldn’t ride it anyways,� she said, noting her sonin-law rode the Yamaha Virago 250 home for her. Miles began practising by sitting on the bike at the top of her driveway and coasting down the small slope with the engine off. “Finally I got brave enough to start the engine.� She then rode around the neighbourhood with her feet near the ground, as she was too nervous to bring them up. Miles had been teaching herself for two years on a learner’s licence when she was introduced to the co-founder of the Over 60 Riders Club, Art Carrington, who encouraged her to join the 30-person group on an outing. She has been the club’s sole female member ever since, and now meets her fellow riders weekly for breakfast and a day trip to

various destinations around the Fraser Valley. “I learned a lot from riding with them,â€? she said, noting they are like big brothers to her. Miles went on to earn her full licence two years ago, after taking a ladies-only course that taught her new skills and corrected bad habits. Since first delving into the industry, she has owned a number of motorcycles, and plans to look for a replacement for her current Honda 500 at the upcoming Vancouver Motorcycle Show, where she will be on a panel of female presenters. It will be the fourth time she has participated in She Rides Night, an evening catered to women, Jan. 22 starting at 5 p.m. at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford. Miles’ seminar is to focus on the theme ‘Stop Saying Some Day and Get Going Today,’ with an aim to encourage women to give motorcycles a try. “I’m living proof that it’s never too late,â€? she said. “If it’s just fear that’s stopping them‌ once you get used to it, it’s no different than driving a car.â€? The Vancouver Motorcycle Show will be held Jan. 20 to 23. Admission is $13 for adults; $8 for youth (six to 15); free for children (under six). For more info, visit www.vancouvermotorcycleshow.com

Surrey’s Emily Antonyk, 8, is a left leg amputee.
Key tags help child amputees Child amputees are among those who benefit from The War Amps Key Tag Service, and organizers are hoping B.C. residents will once again support the cause. The program helps reunite lost keys with their owners through coded tags that attach to key chains. Anyone who finds a set of lost keys can simply call a phone number on the back of the tag or drop the keys in a Canada Post mailbox, and they will be returned to
the owner by bonded courier. The tags will be mailed out across the province starting Jan. 17. Proceeds from donations for the service help fund artificial limbs and other supports for members of The War Amps Child Amputee Program (CHAMP). Since 1946, the program has returned more than one million sets of keys. For more information, visit www.waramps.ca

Even Carline admitted it sometimes seemed like it would “take a forensic dentist with an X-ray to find any teeth left in this.” But he defends the final balance of powers in the document as appropriate. Each city will have
two years to draw up a regional context statement, a binding agreement that explains how its policies and official community plan will live up to the growth strategy’s vision. The growth strategy replaces the outdated Livable Region Strategic Plan and provides a master plan for development across the region as Metro’s population grows by about 50 per cent to 3.4 million by 2040. It recommits the region to fight sprawl,
protect green space and farmland, and build more dense, mixeduse neighbourhoods to allow more travel by transit, cycling or walking. The strategy allows cities to designate frequent transit development areas where they can increase residential density in anticipation of new transit lines. The final document also sets Metro’s priorities for rapid transit expansion in the region – the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam, the
Broadway corridor in central Vancouver and from Surrey Metro Centre to Langley or other town centres in Surrey. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the plan’s goals are laudable but said much depends on whether the federal and provincial governments act accordingly. At her request, the board amended the plan requiring Metro to seek implementation agreements with Victoria and Ottawa. “There has to be

ICBC spies rapped for videotaping while driving Jeff Nagel Black Press
It’s bad enough ICBC investigators relentlessly videotaped an Abbotsford man in a fruitless attempt to reduce the payout he was due after being badly hurt in a car crash. But was it safe for the surveillance spooks to videotape him one-handed while driving on busy streets and highways at the same time? That’s the question raised by a judge that now has the insurance corporation back-pedalling. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Nancy Morrison last month awarded Ron Madill $760,000 for damages and lost future earnings stemming from the 2004 accident on Clearbrook Road, where Madill was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by another car. ICBC hired private investigators who videotaped Madill for hours at a time on numerous occasions between 2005 and 2010. But Morrison concluded the videos did little to undermine his case and then noted much of the recording happened while investigators were driving, tailing Madill on road trips all over the Lower Mainland and Okanagan. “The investigators testified they drove with one hand on the wheel and the other hand operating the video camera, up at the side of their head, to allow them to view through the camera what they were taping,” the judge stated in her decision in the case. “That continues to be their practice today, according to at least one of the investigators, which was interesting, considering from whom they receive their instructions, a corporation dedicated to road safety.” ICBC officials now say they’ve ordered all contracted investigators to cease such tactics, which violate ICBC guidelines requiring they drive safely and obey traffic laws. “We don’t think driving with a video camera with one hand

Ron Madill was awarded $760,000 in B.C. Supreme Court. and steering with the other is in compliance with those guidelines,” spokesman Mark Jan Vrem told Black Press. “It’s not a safe way to operate a vehicle.” Since ICBC’s private investigators work alone and not in pairs, it’s not clear how ICBC could have expected them to do anything but use a handheld camera while driving solo. Jan Vrem said the private investigation company ICBC uses had indicated it is installing dashmounted cameras, which were to be in operation by this month. He said the videos recorded while driving happened before B.C.’s distracted driving laws took effect in early 2010, although court evidence suggests it continued through much of last year. Video cameras aren’t on the list of handheld electronic devices drivers are banned from using under the new law, Jan Vrem said, but he noted their use could amount to driving without due care and attention. Madill said he can’t comment on the case because ICBC is now appealing the judgment and he doesn’t want to risk a lengthy delay in receiving his payout. But he was critical of the corporation’s investigation practices.
“ICBC’s conduct in handling people isn’t in the interest of the people they insure,” he said. “It’s in the interest of their bank accounts.” Before the accident, Madill was an avid motorcyclist, pilot, gardener, skier and skydiver. His head injury, which left him with headaches, vision and balance problems, means he likely won’t be able to keep his pilot’s licence or trucking licence. He’s had to ride a trike rather than the two-wheeled Harley he had before and he hasn’t skied since the crash. Although videos shot on 12 different days were entered in court, they make up a small slice of hundreds of hours that were recorded of Madill, his family and neighbours. The corporation made no apology for hounding Madill or making extensive use of surveillance. “We are dedicated to protecting our customers and their premium dollars against fraud and exaggerated claims,” Jan Vrem said. “We will not sit back and simply pass those costs on to our customers.” ICBC would not specify how much it spent surveilling Madill. But the corporation spends $8 million a year on private investigation services, which include video monitoring.

Skills-assessment tests stir controversy – again Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Let the annual FSA debate begin. With students in Grades 4 and 7 in Surrey, White Rock and across B.C. poised to being writing Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests this week, the minister of education and teachers’ union charged out of the gate with their arguments for and against the multipart exams. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid opened the debate with a letter to parents issued publicly Sunday morning. In it, she says the standardized math and literacy tests
“show where children excel and where they struggle.” FSAs, she said, allow caregivers to work with their child’s teacher to identify problems and tackle them early so the issues aren’t compounded in later grades. “As a parent, you have the right to know how your child is performing,” said MacDiarmid, adding the tests also let teachers see how students in their class compare to others across the province. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) called MacDiarmid’s letter a “last-ditch effort to shore up support for the controversial test-

ing regime.” The union argues the FSAs do not help students learn, parents teach or provide parents worthwhile information, and consume much-needed time and resources. “The minister is encouraging teaching to the tests, a practice that undermines the academic rigour of the curriculum,” said BCTF president Susan Lambert. “These tests assess only a very narrow and superficial slice of the curriculum, but they take on exaggerated importance when the minister inflates their value with her open letter...”

Optometrists specialize in examining, diagnosing, managing and preventing diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eye and related structures. Adults 19 to 64 should have an eye exam every two years. People with diabetes or age 65 or older should have an eye exam at least once a year. Children should have their first eye exam at 6 months and then every year. Even if your feel your vision is fine, you should still be getting your eyes checked to help detect health problems. Sight-threatening conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts require early detection for a better visual outcome. General health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, brain tumours or heart disease can also be detected during an eye exam with your optometrist. White Rock Optometry Clinic has been looking after the eyes of the peninsula for over 25 years. We are proud to provide the latest in eye care technology.

MacDiarmid said the testing takes less than ten hours of a child’s time between kindergarten and Grade 8 and that contrary to “misinformation,” the testing is not optional. For many years, the teachers’ union has encouraged parents to opt their children out of the FSAs if they wish. The BCTF argues figures show more parents are doing just that, with between 16 and 19 per cent of students not taking the test in 2010 as opposed to between 9 and 11 per cent not writing in 2008. FSA testing began Monday (Jan. 17) and will continue until late February.

Jeff Nagel Black Press
Beattie, also a former Mountie, was offered the permanent job of chief but yesterday declined and has instead opted to rejoin the RCMP in Surrey. Board chair Peter Webster, in a letter distributed to Transit Police staff, said the board is “acutely aware” of the need for the force to quickly stabilize its leadership. An executive search will begin to find a new permanent chief. Beattie leaves at the end of the month and a new acting chief will be named by then.
Webster said he’s “extremely grateful” for Beattie’s leadership and ability to step in and provide stability and continuity since September. “We’re losing a quality guy, there’s no doubt about that and the RCMP are getting back a well-trained officer,” added police board member Bill Brown. Beattie had served with the Transit Police for a year and a half and said he was grateful for the experience and expected to continue to have contact with the force.
Canada Line employees vote to strike Jeff Nagel Black Press
Canada Line workers have voted in favour of strike action but union leaders say there are no plans to try to shut down the rapid transit line. B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) members voted 95 per cent in favour of strike action, giving
the union the ability to issue 72-hour strike notice any time. “There’s no job action planned at this time,” BCGEU spokesman Brian Gardiner said last week, adding the union is asking the Labour Relations Board to appoint a mediator to help resolve the labour dispute. “It sends a strong vote
of support for the bargaining committee and its approach,” he said of the strike vote. “And it’s a pretty strong message to the employer that our members are serious about trying to get a collective agreement.” The 180 Canada Line workers hired by operator Protrans BC certified with the BCGEU in August 2009. Since then,
talks have been underway in an attempt to conclude a first collective agreement. Members include control room operations workers, attendants and maintenance workers. Protrans BC, which is owned by SNC Lavalin, runs the Canada Line under a 35-year contract.

A White Rock woman has been awarded more than $200,000 after successfully appealing a decision that had put blame for money lost on the sale of her home squarely on her own shoulders. According to B.C. Court of Appeal documents, Anne Audrey Hargreaves’ original claim was dismissed “on the basis that she had failed to act reasonably in mitigating her damages.” Hargreaves listed her house for sale in June 2008. She was 71 at the time and looking to move to a smaller home, the documents state. After reducing the price twice, she entered into a contract to sell it to Harleen Kaur Brar for $845,000. Brar paid a deposit of $30,000 and agreed to complete the sale by Nov. 13 that year. In the meantime, Hargreaves entered into a contract to buy a home for $580,000. The completion date for that deal was also Nov. 13, contingent on Hargreaves having the proceeds from the sale of her existing home to complete the purchase. When Brar was unable to complete by the deadline, Hargreaves – after refusing to grant an extension – relisted her home for sale. It eventually sold for $670,000; she purchased her new home for $550,000. The original trial judge ruled Hargreaves “did not act reasonably in accepting the ($670,000) offer,” the documents state. “In my view, the plaintiff acted precipitously, selling the property quickly and significantly below the appraised value. She failed to pursue available options and failed to take the steps a reasonable person would take.” Court of Appeal judges disagreed. “The appellant was entitled to accept a sure offer with a definite closing date in a falling real estate market that allowed her to complete the purchase she had contracted to make,” writes Madam Justice Risa Levine in the reasons for judgment. “The respondent did not prove that had the appellant not taken the steps that she did, or had she taken other steps, she would not have suffered the loss.” Hargreaves’ award includes $169,356.25 in damages, payment of a $30,000 deposit with interest and court order interest from Nov. 13, 2008 to the date of the BCCA judgment. She is also entitled to double the costs of the trial, Levine writes. - Tracy Holmes

RCMP were dispatched to Morgan Crossing in South Surrey Friday, following a report of a robbery at an area bank. Police say the call – which turned out to be a prank – came in to the non-emergency line around 1 p.m. Jan. 14. It appears to have originated from a desk phone inside the BMO Bank of Montreal, located at 15850 26 Ave. Police say it is unclear
if the call was made by a staff person or by someone who gained access to the phone. An officer at the scene said the investigation determined the call was a prank. The incident remains under investigation. Police plan to review surveillance video as part of efforts to identify the culprit, who could face charges of public mischief. - Tracy Holmes

Winners to be honoured at Feb. 24 ceremony
Athletes in running for Sport BC awards Local athletes – a wrestler, a runner, a diver and a golfer – are in the running for Sport BC’s 45th Annual Athlete of the Year Awards.

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey gets volunteer boost
Executive positions filled Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
After struggling in recent years to fill volunteer roles on its executive committee, Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association now has each position filled after an influx of volunteers came forward at the association’s annual general meeting Jan. 12. “It’s great, we had a really good turnout. In previous years, we’ve always been one or two bodies short, so it’s nice to have (a full board),” said Semi Hockey president Ian Maguire. Maguire said an article published in the Peace Arch News earlier this month – detailing the dearth of vol-
unteers – helped considerably. “It definitely triggered a few phone calls,” he said. “That was the intent, and it’s nice to see it work out. It’s a good-news story, just fantastic.” Many of the new volunteers are younger parents, whose children play in the association’s youngest age divisions, Maguire added. “That’s really nice to see, and very encouraging to get some new blood into the organization. Some of the people who came forward we knew about, some were a surprise, but we have some really good people in the mix now.”

sports Road trip ends with fight-filled game in Cowichan
Eagles take two of three on Island swing Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A weekend road swing through the Coastal Conference didn’t start well for the Surrey Eagles, but it finished on a high note, with a fight-filled 5-0 win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals Sunday. Surrey sniper Brad McGowan led the way Sunday with a four-point effort – which vaulted him back into the lead of the B.C. Hockey League scoring race – and Dale Hunt had a hat trick, with one goal coming at even-strength, one on the power play and one shorthanded. Michael Stenerson rounded out the scoring for Surrey. Surrey’s backup netminder Andrew Hunt, a Delta native, stopped all 39 shots he faced to earn his first career shutout. But the offensive exploits and the rookie netminder’s performance were overshadowed by fisticuffs, which started with a scrum behind the Eagles’ net late in the second period – just a minute after Hunt’s third goal of the night – and spilled over into the third. With less than three minutes to go in the second frame, Eagles’ Beau Orser was tagged with a five-minute boarding major, fighting major and a game misconduct, while teammate Daniel Gentzler also received a 10-minute misconduct. Cowichan, meanwhile, saw Devin

Dambrauskas ejected and also given a five-minute slashing penalty, while Clayton Chessa – a former Eagle – and Alex Marchinew also received 10-minute misconducts. The whole situation took the onice officials more than 10 minutes to sort out, and things didn’t calm down much after the second intermission, either. Eagles blue-liner Linden Saip and Capitals’ Jordan Grant – who was

ejected – dropped the gloves just 39 seconds into the third, and Surrey’s Robert Lindores and Cowichan’s Alex Halloran fought at the 1:28 mark, with Lindores receiving additional penalties for a blow to the head. Rounding out the rough stuff, Surrey forward Jeff Vanderlugt fought Matt Cassidy at the six-minute mark, before things settled down for good.
After Sunday’s game, the Eagles will also host another Scotiabank Skate with the Eagles event – a public skate that will give youngsters a chance to hit the ice with members of the team. Admission is free, but those wanting to skate must pick up a voucher from any South Surrey Scotiabank location. Sunday’s game is also “Back the Bus” night in support of the Alexa’s Bus campaign. Fans are encouraged to buy purple bracelets at the game, in support of the program’s campaign to get drunk drivers off the road. - with files from Greg Sakaki

Powell River potted four goals in the first period and led 5-0 after 40 minutes. Vanderlugt finally got the Eagles on the board 15:01 into the third period, but the game was already out of reach by then. St. Laurent started the game, but lasted just 8:30 – stopping just four of seven shots – before being yanked in favour of Hunt, who stopped 38 of 40 the rest of the way. The Eagles, who are back on the road this Friday and Saturday – they play Victoria and Alberni Valley – are third in the Coastal Conference with a record of 27-15-1-2. They’re just one point back of the Chiefs, whom they host at South Surrey Arena this Sunday at 4 p.m.

Saturday’s contest, a 2-1 overtime victory over the Nanaimo Clippers, was far less complicated. McGowan again led the team with two goals, including the overtime winner just 42 seconds into the extra frame. McGowan’s goal came after Nanaimo coughed up the puck at the Eagles’ blue-line, which led to a Surrey offensive rush. Nanaimo netminder Charles Alexy-Premont stopped the initial shot, but McGowan deposited the rebound. “He couldn’t find (the rebound), they did and it ended up in the back of our net,” said Clippers coach Bill Bestwick. “If you’re going to get beat, you’d like to get beat on a real nice goal.” Bestwick thought his team was the better one on the night, but simply ran into a hot goaltender – Karel St. Laurent stopped 36 of 37 shots on net for the visiting Eagles. “I thought we were territorially a better team,” Bestwick said. “I thought we possessed the puck in better places than our opponent did, and we were real good in the corners and the boards. “When we play like that we give ourself a chance to win every game.” While the Eagles snuck out of Nanaimo with a much-needed two points, they had no such luck Friday against the league-leading Powell River Kings, who clobbered the visiting Birds 5-1.

OBITUARIES
MILNE, James (Jim) Rathnay and Shirley Jean (Dynes). Loving husband and wife. Jim was born January 2nd, 1923 and Shirley was born August 17, 1928. They both passed away peacefully, on January 6th, 2011 and January 9th, 2011 (respectively) at Peace Arch Hospital with family by their sides. Affectionately called ‘Bobby’ and ‘Nanny’ by their grandchildren, they will always be remembered as kind and gentle grandparents who always made time to listen and laugh with those around them. Jim was born and raised in Burnaby, B. C. He served in the Navy in WWII. He married the love of his life Shirley in 1945 and moved to White Rock and eventually to Ocean Park to work and raise his family. Shirley was born in Shelton, WA and moved to B. C. in the 1930’s. She worked in a munitions factory during WWII. After marrying, she was a homemaker and raised her five children in Ocean Park, B. C. Both Jim and Shirley enjoyed fishing while spending the past 45 summers at the family cottage at Green Lake. There, Jim and Shirley created many fond memories over the years with all of the ‘Milne’ clan. Jim is predeceased by his youngest brother, Roy (Kit). Shirley is predeceased by sisters Trudy, Josephine and Janet. Jim and Shirley are predeceased by daughter, Gail and grandson, Barry. Jim is survived and remembered by brothers John (Pam), George (Gladys), and sister Doreen (Wiley). Shirley is survived and remembered by sisters Mary Lou (Norman) and Janice. Both Jim and Shirley are survived and lovingly remembered by daughter Kristina, sons James (Norm), Gordon (Denise), Russell, eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Dad, we will all miss the twinkle in your eye and your kind and gentle soul. Keep smiling. Mom, we will miss your loving support. We will remember and love you both always. A celebration of Jim and Shirley’s lives will be held at the cottage at Green Lake in the summer of 2011.
