Surrey, Burnaby and Vancouver ridings ﬂagged in leaked documents

Botched robbery led to murder: Crown

Tories to target ethnic voters as spring election appears likely

Man accused of killing Vic Fraser 13 years ago

by Jeff Nagel

by Sheila Reynolds

A LEAKED pre-election campaign strategy document shows the

federal Conservatives are planning to target three Metro Vancouver ridings with messages aimed at their large populations of South Asian and Chinese voters. It also hints a federal election could come very soon. Surrey’s Newton-North Delta riding, Burnaby-Douglas and Vancouver-South are on the list of 10 federal ridings Tory strategists see as “very ethnic” ridings that can may be influenced with advertising. The “takeaway,” according to the presentation that was accidentally sent to an NDP MP, was that “there are lots of ethnic voters” in those ridings with more coming all the time, and “they live where we need to win.” It calls for a two-week “heavy deployment” of pre-writ ads starting March 15, suggesting an official election campaign could be underway by April. Simon Fraser University political scientist Patrick Smith said an election could well be underway by the end of the month if New Democrats Patrick Smith join other Opposition parties to defeat the minority Conservative government in the days after the federal budget is tabled March 22. The first chance at an Opposition vote on the budget will be Thursday, March 24, he said. “So we could go right to election at the end of the day on the 24th,” he said, adding that would likely place election day in early May. “The Tories are doing reasonably well in the polls, so they won’t want to hold back,” Smith predicted.

than a decade ago was a crime of opportunity and the result of a robbery gone wrong, say Crown prosecutors. The second-degree murder trial of Gary Johnston began Monday, 13 years after Fraser’s bloodied, unconscious body was found at his sister’s home in the Bridgeview neighbourhood of North Surrey. Johnston was charged in 2009 with seconddegree murder in connection to Fraser’s death. The bearded, heavyset man, his shoulderVic Fraser length hair partially tied back, pleaded not guilty in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday morning. In his opening statement, Crown prosecutor Adam Jantunen said Johnston broke into Jeanie Fraser’s house on the morning of March 10, 1998

Man shot by police will be ‘deeply missed’ Friends reminisce about Adam Purdie by Kevin Diakiw THE MAN shot and killed by police last week is being remembered as a

good friend who helped a lot of people recover from alcohol and drug abuse, his friends say. A group on Facebook is recalling fonder moments with Adam Purdie, the 28-year-old killed by Surrey RCMP at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard on the evening of March 2. “Adam and I haven’t talked that much over the last couple years just friendly conversations in passing but I do know that he helped a lot of people in the NA (Narcotics Anonymous) community out,” said friend Teresa. “My thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends. May your soul be at peace Adam. Friend Brittany had similar memories. “So sad that Adam is gone... he was a friend of my family and a genuinely nice guy who helped a lot of people get and stay clean,” she said. “He will be deeply missed. RIP Adam.” Purdie was first pulled over in the 15400 block of 16 Avenue last Wednesday, just after 11 p.m. when Surrey RCMP noticed a firearm in the back seat. Purdie sped away, causing a brief pursuit. Police laid down a spike belt at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard, which disabled the car. Purdie collided with another vehicle, and then was rammed by a police cruiser. Despite early reports that Purdie shot his weapon, the Saanich Police Department, which is Adam Purdie investigating the incident, said it cannot confirm if Purdie’s gun was fired. Saanich Police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said a modified assault rifle was found in Purdie’s lap, with the barrel pointed toward the Surrey RCMP officer who shot him. That officer has six years service with the Mounties. Purdie had previously been charged with attempted murder using a firearm, assaulting a police officer, breaking and entering with intent and possession of a prohibited weapon with ammunition. Those charges stem from an incident in Ladner in 2003. Purdie testified that he pointed a gun at his girlfriend to scare her and her new love interest, and he hoped the police would come and kill him. The prosecution disputed that, saying the only reason his girlfriend and her new partner were alive is because Purdie’s gun jammed. Purdie was acquitted of attempted murder and was sentenced for assaulting a police officer, breaking and entering, pointing a firearm and possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to four years. Purdie had been working at Coquitlam Chrysler and had previously been a bouncer in Surrey and Richmond. Saanich Police will continue to investigate this incident.

because he needed money and knew she’d be gone for the day because he used to live next door and knew her schedule. It’s alleged that Johnston began piling up items to steal, such as a video game system, phone charging base and jewelry. Vic Fraser, however, surprised Johnston by showing up at the house, said Jantunen. The two men had met before, but Johnston was concerned Fraser would be suspicious. So he took a pair of serrated knives from the kitchen and stabbed Fraser several times in the neck, the blades breaking off of the handles in the process. The Crown intends to argue that after the killing, Johnston called his brother, and weeks later, burned the clothing worn during the murder in a friend’s fireplace.

POT GROW-OPS

Cheaper remedy

RAESIDE

t’s round two for the federal Conservatives’ goal of getting tough on pot growers. After having the Senate gut an earlier attempt at setting minimum sentences for growing marijuana, the Harper government will now try to push through Bill S-10, which features a mandatory six-month jail term for growing six pot plants. The Liberals, meanwhile, vow to block the bill, which critics say is heading in the opposite direction Canada has taken on the issue of marijuana over the past several years. There’s truth in that, particularly when viewed from the perspective of the Crown and courts, which have respectively been reluctant to aggressively pursue charges against growers, or upon conviction, hand down stiff sentences. There is also an element of public opposition to bringing down a larger hammer on marijuana cultivation, particularly on small amounts. Critics point across the border, where tougher marijuana sentences have filled jails, but done little to stem the green wave, or the demand for the product. Considerable doubt surrounds the premise that a minimum sentence for growing pot will dissuade the gangs which make billions from the industry in Canada. When there is that much profit to be gained – and tougher laws may actually increase the value of the drug – there will be a willingness to take the risks to reap the massive rewards. Far more effective in reducing the number of grow-ops in this and other cities is the initiative based on safety inspections of suspected homes. Using that tactic, along with law enforcement efforts, cities such as Surrey and Abbotsford have seen a dramatic drop in the number of grows over the past several years. Purely from a public cost perspective, it’s a far cheaper remedy than building and filling more prisons. – Black Press

couple of readers responded indignantly to this column’s recent reference to the NDP “trumpeting distorted statistics” about child poverty. I was referring to the annual ritual that goes on here at the legislature, where an activist coalition named First Call issues its report that damns B.C. for the worst child poverty in Canada. The NDP pounds away for days, crying “shame” and demanding that the B.C. Liberal government produce a plan to eliminate child poverty, with annual goals. The “distorted statistics” I referred to are in a regular survey by Statistics Canada called the Low Income Cutoff, or LICO. This survey uses an arbitrary line, currently around $44,000 a year for a family of four, beneath which people are deemed to have “low income.” StatsCan points out in every LICO report that it is a relative measure and not a poverty line, but the activists ignore that. West Vancouver-Capilano B.C. Liberal MLA Ralph Sultan, a former bank economist, has taken this issue on. In November he published a math-heavy discussion paper called Child

Subsidized daycare is another option B.C. has available. “I know in Quebec they have a very generous scheme, which apparently the rest of Canada pays for,” Sultan said. Readers who demand evidence that disputes the First Call finding might start with Sultan’s discussion paper. It’s posted on his website at www.ralphsultanmla.ca under “special studies.” It ends with a quote from another noted social activist, a fellow named Jesus Christ: “The poor shall always be with us.” No one has proven him wrong in the past 2,000 years or so.

Motorists will question Gateway’s fairness Increase JEFF NAGEL’S recent article regarding the consequences of tolling the Port Mann Bridge brings to light its implications for motorists of Delta and Surrey using the Alex Fraser Bridge every morning. Surrey trucker Todd Norberg said he and others would avoid the tolled Port Mann “like the plague” and “when tolls kick in,” there will be “huge traffic jams in Surrey and Delta as commuters head for free crossings.” Once completed, motorists and residents will be wondering if the $1.2-billion South Fraser

Perimeter Road was really worth it: The nuking of neighbourhoods, eradication of perfect fertile agricultural lands, obliteration of valuable foreshore and riparian habitat, expunging of one of North America’s oldest archeological sites, and compromising of fragile, sensitive wetlands like Burns Bog. In the end, Mr. Norberg’s prediction will come true. While stuck in traffic pondering their North Shore commuter cousins’ ease of movement along toll-free highways such as Sea-to-Sky and

other bridges, Delta-Surrey motorists will question the fairness of the B.C. Liberals’ Gateway program that traps them with no viable transit alternatives, on a freeway, now re-designed with traffic lights, filled with toll-evading motorists inching their way to work caught on an already bottle-necked Nordel Interchange, clogging further delays on all arterial roads leading onto Highway 91. Guy Gentner, MLA Delta-North (Intergovernmental Relations Critic)

No, not everybody smokes EVERY TIME I see an article like “Butts out at bus stops” (The Leader, Feb. 23), I look forward to a few laughs as I read the same old worn-out and invalid arguments of those who would smoke in grocery stores (yes, even over the bulk food bins) and in elevators – not to mention at gas stations and around people using oxygen tanks – if they thought they could get away with it. Yes indeed, “reactions are mixed,” just as they were a couple thousand years ago, when somebody first suggested that the Earth was round. What part of smoking is the leading and most easily and cheaply preventable cause of disease, disability and premature death does society, as a whole, not get? Contrary to 17-year-old Andrew “Everybody smokes” McCormick’s comment, only 15 per cent of British Columbians smoke, yet that ever-shrinking small minority is directly responsible for the leading form of litter. I’ll bet a carton of Players that if Black Press photographer Brian Giebelhaus had stuck around for a few more minutes, he could have gotten a picture of proud/ignorant smoker Robert Legault dropping his butt on the ground... and expecting us to thank him if he stepped on it to extinguish it.

FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

A letter writer tells smokers (including Robert Legault, above) that there are good reasons for non-smoking rules at bus stops. I can only imagine still-twoyears-til-he-can-legally-buycigarettes Andy McCormick’s obscenity-filled response when he learns that there is a growing trend to ban smoking, entirely, in all multi-unit dwellings (apartments, condos, etc.).

It is only because of ignorant/ irresponsible smokers like him that such laws are necessary. We’re all familiar with many alcohol ads that end with, “Drink responsibly.” Well, the exact same principle applies to smoking: Do it respon-

Future depends on education I AM WRITING to express the strong support of the

Surrey Board of Trade for Paula Carlson’s concerns over the under-funding of education in Surrey, as she wrote in her Feb. 25 opinion piece. This is a particularly poignant time with the selection of Christy Clark as premier, who is professing a family-first philosophy. The business community, through the Surrey Board of Trade, has been seeking to bring greater profile to the problem since the October 2010 launch of Education Today/Productivity Tomorrow, the education funding shortfall awareness campaign prepared by the Surrey Board of Trade jointly, with School District #36, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Simon Fraser University, and the City of Surrey. This event was very well covered at the time, by radio television and print media. For too many years now, the Surrey Board of Trade has been advocating for these specific concerns when addressing the many standing committees of finance of the B.C. government (in preparation of their budgets).

We have also expressed these funding concerns on numerous occasions to members of the legislature, and we raised this once more directly with many of the senior officials of the ministry of education, when we visited them in Victoria this past spring. The situation continues to deteriorate and even remedial action today would have a lengthy timeline to become effective. The status quo will not do, being akin to standing still on a down escalator. It is critical that the coalition continues to work to keep this issue before the legislators, as well as the public. There is more information on Education Today/ Productivity Tomorrow, on our website at www. businessinsurrey.com. We urge everyone, every business owner, every citizen, to get informed and get involved. Our future depends on it. Nigel Watkinson, president Surrey Board of Trade

Move the old Port Mann west I WAS INTERESTED in the suggestion on moving the old Port Mann Bridge. Most other cities in North America twin their bridges. It is insane to remove it. They are designed to last 100 years. Finish the half being built and then move the construction down river and twin the Pattullo. I hope the new premier can show a little common sense and modify this folly. Mike Bowyer, Surrey

school funding

SURREY SCHOOL District needs

to cut another $10 million to not only avoid a deficit budget but to also remain under-funded? Isn’t this something that we should oppose? Just last year we made some fairly drastic cuts in order to reduce the budget by $12 million. Our children have very limited access to school counsellors, specialist teachers are not being replaced if they are absent three days or less, and spring break was increased by a week. Our school buildings are rundown. Visit an older school in Surrey and you’ll likely find a building with peeling paint and asbestos-filled walls that are being caulked as a temporary solution to an inevitable health hazard. I’ve personally seen the impact of these budget restrictions through my own mission for inclass help for my son. Despite support from his teacher, the school principal and medical professionals, he has yet to be designated any amount of SEA support. How does this affect your child, you might ask? Well, my beautiful boy is the one that seems disruptive in class and unfortunately interrupts your child’s learning. My son is the one that can’t help but have meltdowns in class and requires all of the teacher’s attention before things can move on. Unfortunately, it impacts us all. This is in the current state of the Surrey School District. I wish I could offer a solution. I can’t. But I do know that we can’t keep slashing from the budget and not expect to see a serious impact in the quality of our children’s education. In an economy that sees our tax monies being directed to sports domes, toll bridges and corporate tax breaks, we Surrey parents need to object to these suggested cuts. We need to say, “No, we need more funding” to whoever we can and however loud we can say it. We need to advocate improving the quality of our children’s education rather than simply maintaining it.

Innocence Sex charges for Surrey teacher maintained Offences allegedly took place in the early 1980s in Prince George by border guard by Joe Fries

Two years in jail for sexual assault, breach of trust by Tracy Holmes FORMER BORDER guard

Daniel Greenhalgh has been sentenced to two years less a day in jail for illegally stripsearching women at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border. In handing down the sentence Friday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Frits Verhoeven also sentenced Greenhalgh to three years probation. It was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stiff â&#x20AC;? penalty, according to

Greenhalghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly more than defence was seeking,â&#x20AC;? Stephanie Vyas said, noting Greenhalgh will appeal. Greenhalgh was found guilty last fall of three counts of sexual assault and one count of breach of public trust in connection with incidents that occurred in 2007 while he was on duty at the South Surrey crossing. The verdict followed See ACCUSED / Page 10

A FORMER Prince George high school teacher charged in January with decades-old sex offences against two students was working in a Surrey school when investigators trained their sights on him. John Hampton Triplett, 66, was a gym teacher and basketball coach at DP Todd Secondary in the early 1980s when the offences involving two 13-year-old girls are alleged to have begun. Triplett is facing six charges

as result of alleged â&#x20AC;&#x153;inappropriate interactions,â&#x20AC;? with the girls, said Prince George RCMP spokesman Cpl. Craig Douglass. Court records indicate the alleged offences took place in September 1980 and October 1981, but it seems serious concerns only arose with investigators in September 2009, when police approached Surrey School District administrators with their concerns. Triplett was subsequently removed from his classroom there. Douglass would not say

why the investigation lay dormant for nearly 20 years, nor whether the alleged victims helped launch the probe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, we somehow received information that began the investigation in 2009,â&#x20AC;? Douglass said. Citing privacy concerns, Surrey School District spokesman Doug Strachan would not say where Triplett was teaching in September 2009, nor would he discuss how Triplett came to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;no longer employedâ&#x20AC;? with the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are provisions in the

School Act and elsewhere that allows the district to act in the safety of children,â&#x20AC;? Strachan said. A lawyer appeared on Triplettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf last week in Prince George Provincial Court and had the case put over until June for an arraignment hearing. Triplett, who is not in custody, is charged with two counts each of gross indecency and indecent assault, along with single counts of rape and sexual intercourse with a minor. editor@pgfreepress.com

From page 9 a five-week trial in New Westminster in which three women testified Greenhalgh touched them inappropriately during strip-searches he conducted on his own in areas including a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public washroom. A fourth woman said she was made to strip, but was not touched. At a sentencing hearing last month, defence lawyer Joe McCarthy argued for a lesser penalty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either a two-year conditional sentence followed by probation, or incarceration of 12 to 15 months in a provincial jail.

The sentence given was one of two options suggested by prosecutor Winston Sayson. McCarthy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was unable to attend the sentencing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised a provincial sentence (less than two years) was given. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It became apparent fairly early in the hearing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the actual sentencing hearing, not the one today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that federal time was not going to be an issue,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said in a telephone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is, is that these are very, very unusual occurrences and there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much case law to guide the judge on this matter.â&#x20AC;?

Vyas noted Greenhalgh maintains he did not commit the acts he was found guilty of. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoken publicly on the matter because he plans to appeal, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Greenhalgh maintains his innocence,â&#x20AC;? Vyas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crown counsel was answering a reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions this morning with regards to Mr. Greenhalgh staying silent on elements of that pre-sentence report, and that is because he is pursuing an appeal.â&#x20AC;? Greenhalgh â&#x20AC;&#x153;continues to have the support of his family and friends,â&#x20AC;? Vyas added. tholmes@peacearchnews.com

Politicians are urging the province to slow the spread of mansions that are displacing valuable farmland.

Region wants to block farm mega-houses Lifestyle comes at expense of food production: Critics by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER politicians are urging the province to intervene to slow the spread of huge mansions that are chewing up urban farmland needed to grow food. Victoria is weighing how to best tackle the issue and released a discussion paper that lays out a menu of possible options. At issue is the construction of huge estate homes – often on land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) – that make farming less efficient and put the property’s price out of reach of ordinary farmers. Reforms have been proposed in the past by individual municipalities but beaten back by opposing groups of landowners and realtors.

Both Pitt Meadows and Surrey shelved attempts to tighten regulation of farm manor homes in recent years after opposition. Metro agriculture committee chair Harold Steves said he and others on the committee want the province to enact minimum standards that would be enforced consistently to restrict the size and location of homes built in the ALR. “They’re building 10,000- to 20,000-square-foot houses with swimming pools and tennis courts scattered throughout the agricultural area of the land,” Steves said. “It’s impossible to have crops and farm equipment when you have to work around a number of buildings. It destroys the productive use of that land.” A provincially mandated minimum standard could allow cities

to go further and add stronger protections if they wish, he added. If only some cities tighten the rules, it’s feared the problem will simply be shifted around the region or pushed east into the Fraser Valley Regional District. In Richmond alone, Steves estimates, another 2,000 acres of farmland in the ALR stands to be lost to the construction of big houses and recreational amenities unless the trend is stopped. So far, Delta has taken the toughest stand against the problem of badly sited farmland mansions, he said. Delta limits house sizes and defines a farm “homeplate” on agricultural properties where houses and other residential uses See DELTA / Page 13

Man run down in driveway

60-year-old interrupted car theft, police say

Delta: Tough rules on homes must be contained. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sprawl deeper than 60 metres from the front property line, unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-site migrant worker housing, in which case the limit is 100 metres. Farmland is cheaper than large residentialzoned lots and may offer the potential of a future windfall if the land can someday be pulled out of the ALR and subdivided. That long-standing loophole should also be closed, said Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, the vicechair of the agriculture committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different than those who sit on acreages with a horse or a cow and say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gentlemen farmers and get a tax break,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was never intended to be for

estate homes.â&#x20AC;? Hepner also backs tough minimal protections set by the province. But she noted there are some special circumstances to be considered. In Surrey, she said, some of the large houses on farmland are simply occupied by large families and the land is being actively farmed. Metro also suggests exceptions be allowed if it makes more sense to put a house on part of the property that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t farmable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rocky. One option being considered by the agriculture ministry is to regulate farm houses only in Abbotsford, Delta, Langley Township and Kelowna, while making the same rules simply guidelines for other cities.

Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board is expected to finalize its

position on the issue in April.

A 60-YEAR-OLD Surrey man is in an induced coma in hospital after suffering â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantial, lowerbody-crushingâ&#x20AC;? injuries when he was run over by a car thief in his own driveway Sunday morning. Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to a home in the 5900 block of 168A Street just after 3:30 a.m. March 6. They found the victim lying in the driveway.

Police say the man was run over as an unidentified person was stealing a black Acura MDX from the driveway. The victim was apparently investigating some suspicious noise when he came across the theft in progress, police say. He was struck as the vehicle was driven out of the driveway. The Acura was recovered a couple blocks away from the home. Police believe the theft of a

Home prices jump more than forecast house in Metro Vancouver costs about $50,000 more than it did in November. And at least one forecast calls for the gains to continue – at a more gradual pace – this year. The 6.3-per-cent house price jump to $848,645 in February from $796,900 three months earlier was driven by big price increases in Richmond and the west side of Vancouver, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). Richmond’s benchmark house price rose $190,000 in that period to nearly $1.1 million, while the Vancouver west side gained $222,000 to $1.85 million. REBGV president Jake Moldowan said the intensity of buying activity in those areas indicates houses there are the most sought-after properties in the region.

Starter pistols being converted into guns Police seize ammunition and ‘fully functioning ﬁrearms’ by Kevin Diakiw

charges are expected. The arrest comes at the end of a five-month investigation by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) called E-PENURY. Search warrants were executed at the New Westminster surplus store and a home in Port Coquitlam. During that raid, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, soft body armour, a restricted semi-automatic assault rifle and a number of starter pistols – which shoot “blanks” – were seized. Police say the weapons were not part of gang activity. “What investigators found

STARTER PISTOLS are being con-

verted into lethal weapons, police say, and they’re showing up on the streets of Surrey, Nanaimo and Maple Ridge. The owner of Westley Military Surplus, at 623 Front Street in New Westminster, is facing a number of charges regarding the conversion of the weapons. Westley William Baker, 67, is charged with four counts of unauthorized transfer of ammunition and one count each of unauthorized transfer of a firearm and manufacturing a firearm. Additional

Some of these starter pistols have been converted to real guns, a trend that’s troubling police. disconcerting was the alleged counselling by the accused on how to convert these pistols into fully functioning firearms, and operational machine guns,” said CFSEU

Sgt. Shinder Kirk, adding the guns are now appearing on city streets. “To date, two converted pistols have been seized in Nanaimo, one in Maple Ridge, a lone converted machine gun was seized in Surrey, and all four were seized in relation to criminal investigations,” Kirk said. Const. Frank Grosspeitch, a weapons specialist, said the discovery of the weapons is highly troubling. Police have seen blank guns (that don’t fire live rounds) converted into weapons, but what they’re seeing now is different. “This is a new direction,”

he said. “We don’t normally get semi-automatic and full automatic blank guns that have been converted to firearms,” said Grosspeitch. They are also dangerous to the user, as the starters pistols are not built to shoot live rounds. “The chances of this firearm blowing up in your face is great,” Grosspeitch said. “It’s not built to handle the pressure of actual ammunition.” Kirk said army surplus dealers should know if they perform such conversions, they will be found and arrested. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Settlement reached with former school employees Robert and Barbara Chadwick pay $78,000 by Sheila Reynolds THE SURREY School

District has reached an out-of-court settlement with two former employees accused of financial fraud that

allegedly put thousands of dollars into their own pockets. The board of education agreed to dismiss its civil lawsuit against former associate superintendent Rob-

ert (Bob) Chadwick and his administrative assistant Barbara Chadwick (nee Moore) in exchange for the couple paying $78,000 to the district. The Chadwicks,

who left their jobs suddenly and under mysterious circumstances in 2006, have also agreed to drop their constructive dismissal lawsuit against the board as well as their counter lawsuits. “The board is satisfied this settlement is in the best interest

of the board and taxpayers,” said district spokesperson Doug Strachan on Monday. The district filed suit against the Chadwicks in 2009, alleging the two were involved in large scale fraud and kickback schemes involving hundreds of thou-

sands of dollars. The Chadwicks are still facing a criminal lawsuit, with both charged with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000. Robert was also charged with breach of trust by a public officer. Bob Chadwick

Pain at the pumps Middle East revolts drive gas prices to $1.30 a litre by Jeff Nagel AVERAGE GAS prices in Metro Vancouver climbed above $1.30 per litre Friday amid growing concerns about the potential disruption of crude oil supplies as a result of the Middle East crisis. The pump price is now about 10 cents higher than it was a month ago and at the highest level since mid2008. Crude oil prices have shot up to well over $100 a barrel in anticipation the threat of revolution or civil war may spread to more countries as protesters try to topple Arab dictators. Energy consultant Michael Ervin said retail gas prices could well climb higher this spring, typically the peak driving season when higher demand tends to lift prices.

That would certainly happen if oil prices also rise further, but could happen even if they stabilize close to current levels. The highest price Metro Vancouverites have ever paid for gas was $1.50 per litre in July of 2008. Crude oil peaked at US $147 per barrel that same month. Up to a million barrels of daily oil production is shut down in Libya. Libyan oil typically goes to Europe, but buyers there will look elsewhere, driving up demand and prices on other sources. Oil traders are also pricing in the possibility the pro-democracy revolutions may spread and cripple production at other oil-producing countries. — with files from CTV

Used drink boxes get made into toilet paper, lucky for us it isn’t the other way around

The drink box that your child takes to school is a polycoat container made up of three material types: paper, an aluminum lining, and a plastic coating.

Environmental You probably already know that all the containers that come into a Return-It™ Depot are diverted from the landfill and recycled. What you might not know is how the materials are recycled and what they become afterwards. Here’s what happens to two types of containers you’re probably very familiar with: drink boxes and gable top cartons. They’re known as “polycoat” containers because they’re made of more than one material. The drink box that your child takes to school is made up of three material types: paper, an aluminum lining, and a plastic coating. The gable top carton in your refrigerator is made of plastic and paper. THE DIS-ASSEMBLY LINE: From the Return-It™ Depot, drink boxes and gable top cartons are shipped to a factory where a hydra-pulper mashes them to a

pulp to separate the paper fibre from any plastic or aluminum linings. 75% of the weight of a typical polycoat container is recoverable paper fibre. The resulting paper pulp is then used to make cardboard boxes of all shapes, sizes and colours, as well as toilet paper. Thousands of tonnes of paper pulp are recovered in this process. For every tonne of paper pulp recycled, approximately 17 trees are saved.

Keep the kids busy during Spring Break!

Allow your kids to be kids!

Spring Break Fe ve r !

Spring Break is just around the corner! Have you come up with a good plan this year or are you stressing over what to do with the kids. Read through the ads on these pages for suggestions to keep your kids busy during Spring Break. There’s a lot of discussion these days about fit kids. Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity (exercise), and has a healthy weight. If you’re fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like run around with your friends. Some steps only parents can take — such as serving healthy meals or deciding to take the family on a nature hike. But kids can take charge, too, when it comes to health. Encourage your kids to take part in the planning, decision making, sourcing out information and giving permission. Wanting to participate is better than being made to.

Spring Break Fe ve r !

Keep the kids busy during Spring Break!

On the road to good health. You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. By eating different foods, you’re more likely to get the nutrients your body needs. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green veggies, are more pleasing the older you get. Five servings of fruits and vegetables a day — two fruits and three vegetables. When you’re really thirsty, water is the best thirst-quencher. Your school cafeteria offers cartons of milk. Kids need calcium to build strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral. How much do kids need? If you are younger than nine years old, drink two cups of milk a day, or its equivalent. Aim for three cups of milk per day, or its equivalent. You can mix it up by having milk and some other calcium-rich dairy foods. It’s OK to have 100% juice, too. Try to limit sugary drinks, like sodas, juice cocktails, and fruit punches. They contain a lot of added sugar. Sugar just adds calories, not important nutrients. Listen to Your Body What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and, over a period of time, can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Limit Screen Time Screen time is the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs, playing video games (console systems or handheld games), and using the computer. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time available for active stuff, like basketball, bike riding, and swimming. Try to spend no more than two hours a day on screen time, not counting computer use related to school. Be Active One job you have as a kid — and it’s a fun one — is that you get to figure out which activities you like best.

Look into these eyes!

These are eyes of determination and conﬁdence. These eyes are attentive and passionate. These eyes show the strength and vigor of a youth trained in the Martial Arts.

Roadside appeals sought Tough drunk driving rules in effect THE B.C. government is

considering an appeal period for drivers facing steep new roadside penalties imposed by police. Legislation took effect last September giving B.C. the toughest penalties for impaired driving and excessive speeding in Canada. After hundreds of drivers were fined and had their vehicles seized, Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman announced a review of the new measures late last year. Last week he told Kamloops radio station CHNL that the government is considering an appeal period before fines or other penalties take effect. Coleman wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to elaborate, but his office issued a statement later in the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One change we are considering is implementing a process so you have a certain amount of time to appeal the offence,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The change would be similar to a traffic ticket, where you either accept or reject the claim, and have a certain amount of time to appeal the offence.â&#x20AC;? Such a change would have to be debated and passed in the legislature to take effect. Police in B.C. now have the option of imposing an immediate penalty on anyone who fails a roadside breath test. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension or a formal impaired charge, police can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the vehicle for 30 days, with the owner on the hook for the towing and storage charges. The penalties mean one failed roadside test could cost a driver $3,750 before driving again, and that is before any criminal code charges and suspensions that may also result. A blood alcohol reading in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;warnâ&#x20AC;? range between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent can result in a three-day driving ban, a $200 â&#x20AC;&#x153;administrative penaltyâ&#x20AC;? and another $250 fee to have a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence reinstated. Drivers may also have their car

impounded for three days. More than 1,400 drivers were hit with the steeper penalties in the first 20 days of the new rules. Pub and restaurant owners complained that people were afraid to have a single drink after work, and defence lawyers said the government was giving police officers too much discretion to impose penalties. tďŹ&#x201A;etcher@blackpress.ca

POLICE NABBED more than 3,000 drivers using cellphones and other hand-held electronic devices – including 122 in Surrey – during a month-long distracted driving enforcement blitz in February. Officers heard plenty of excuses – none of them good enough. “I was just on my way to buy a Bluetooth (hands-free kit),” one driver said. Another was afraid of missing an important call and one woman told police she was “just telling my husband to call back later because I’m driving.” RCMP E-Division Traffic Services Supt. Mike Diack said it’s disappointing to see such a high number of motorists violating B.C.’s year-old distracted driving law. “The excuses won’t mean anything if you are involved in a collision that seriously injures or kills somebody because you made a phone call or sent a text message,” he said.

The only valid reason for making a handheld call is to call for emergency assistance, he said. More than 2,200 of the distracted drivers were busted and given $167 fines in the Lower Mainland and the stats don’t count drivers caught by general duty officers who weren’t part of the blitz. Despite the new law, RCMP say distracted driving was a contributing factor in 104 fatal crashes in B.C. last year and is blamed in another 5,000 injuries each year. Forty-five of the deaths linked to inattentive or distracted driving happened in the Lower Mainland, including 15 in Surrey. Besides the $167 fine for handheld use of an electronic device while driving, violators can also be given three ICBC driver penalty points if they’re caught texting or emailing. Drivers in the Graduated Licensing Program are banned from using all electronic devices, even with handsfree options. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Eagles drop season opener

Surrey/North Delta Leader 27

Surrey loses ﬁrst game in second-round playoff series against Langley by Nick Greenizan THE SURREY EAGLES suffered their first loss of

the B.C. Hockey League post-season Monday night, falling 4-3 to the rival Langley Chiefs in the first game of their second-round playoff series. Making matters worse, Surrey – who swept their first round series in four straight games over the Burnaby Express – was felled by a former Eagles, as Langley forward Darnell Dyck scored the winning tally 12:15 into the third period. Eagles leading scorer Brad McGowan – who led the league in playoff scoring after the first

round – got the home team on the board first Monday, when he beat Chiefs’ netminder Wyatt Galley on the power play, but Langley tied the game before the first intermission, when Tim Daly snuck one past Eagles goalie Karel St. Laurent, who stopped 29 shots in a losing effort. Both teams scored twice in the second frame – Josh Myers and Matt Ius for Langley, Air Force-bound Scott Holm and Robert Lindores for the Eagles – to leave both teams knotted at 3-3 heading into the final 20 minutes. Neither team waited long to answer for a goal scored against them in the second period, either. After Myers’ power-play tally at 6:36, Holm scored just 20 seconds later. And after

Lindores – who has five points in five games so far this post-season – gave the Eagles a brief 3-2 lead midway through the period, Ius responded just 1:42 later to tie it. Ius finished the game with a goal and two helpers, giving him 12 post-season points, and a one-point cushion on McGowan, who had 11 after Monday night’s affair. The Eagles had the opportunity to draw even in the best-of-seven series Tuesday – also at South Surrey Arena – but results were not available by The Leader’s press deadline. Games 3 and 4 move to the Langley Events Centre on Thursday and Friday nights. The puck drops in both games at 7 p.m.

Surrey wrestlers haul multiple medals at provincial championships

Three Sabres win B.C. gold

by Rick Kupchuk

AS A TEAM, the Guildford Park

Sabres showed some improvement over last year. But the boys high school wrestling team still dropped three places in the standings at the provincial championships Feb. 26-26 in Abbotsford. “We ended up fifth, but it was so close that we actually had more points this year than we did last year when we finished in second place,” said Guildford Park coach Mark McRae. “We ended up having our smallest team at the B.C.’s in years. But the quality of wrestlers we brought was very strong. We brought three girls and six boys, and of the nine wrestlers, five of them ended up on the podium. Guildford Park totalled 49 points in the boys standings, just one behind fourth place W.J. Mouat and 18 back of provincial champion Rick Hansen Secondary. The points total received a huge boost from three Guildford Park wrestlers who won gold medals, the most provincial champions from any one school. Octavio Villena and Isaac Bernard were expected to win, as both were defending championships won last year. The surprise was Jallab Maki, who entered the tournament unseeded and lost a close match in the first round. “I thought he could win if he had a great tournament,” said McRae. “And he ended up beating the number one seed in the finals and earned the Most Outstanding Match award.” Bernard carried a two-year unbeaten streak into the tournament, and won his fourth consecutive provincial title in a fourth different weight class, a feat accomplished by only four other wrestlers. This year’s gold medal was on in the 60 kg. category. Villena defeated national cham-

Mouat in a 54 kg. class semifinal, and easily won the final for a second consecutive gold medal. Rookie Jakob Rainbow placed sixth in the 110-plus kg. category, while Sandra Livingstone placed fourth in the 54 kg. female group. “Jakob was the youngest wrestler on the podium in his weight class, and will certainly be a medal contender next year,” said McRae. “And this was Sandra’s first full

season on the team and she was dominant at times in a weight class that is very competitive. With another full year she should be a medal favourite for next year.” ■ Enver Creek placed sixth in the points standings for boys, with medals coming from Karnbir Johal (gold, 90 kg.) and Aron Mann (silver, 110-plus kg.). Other medalists from Surrey schools included Jas Ranu of Lord Tweedsmuir (silver, 63 kg.), Sunny Sahota of

Tamanawis (silver, 70 kg.) and Dilsahib Nahal of Princess Margaret (bronze, 84 kg.). ■ Hamid Sultan of Fraser Heights, a wrestler in the 45 kg. weight class who trains with the Guildford Park team, was ruled ineligible due to ringworm, a decision McRae called “heartbreaking.” “The reality is that ringworm is very common in wrestling and has no danger,” he said. “In the U.S.,

they allow all kids to wrestle with ringworm as long it is covered up by tape or a Band-Aid. There is a significant contingent of coaches and officials in the wrestling community that feel this ruling is not one we should be enforcing at the provincials because it is our last tournament of the year and to eliminate a kid for this is wrong. “Hamid missed out on a huge opportunity for the wrong reasons.”

Black Press THE DELTA Sungod

Swim club hosted the largest competition in its 25-year history Feb. 25-26, as more than 400 young athletes participated in the Lower Mainland Regional Swimming Championships at the Sungod Recreation Centre.

Head coach Steve Hitchings said the event was a huge success, both in the pool and out. “Meets cannot be run without the help of parents and volunteers from within the community,” he said. “Delta families have always been great supporters of events held in their

communities. The swimmers of the club as well as the coaching staff are very thankful.” Nine swimmers from the host team reached the podium, including 10 year-old Elena Penner, who achieved a provincial AA qualifying time in the 100 backstroke and qualified for the B.C.

AA championships in Kelowna next June. Penner won a silver medal in the 100m back stroke, also adding a second silver in the 800m freestyle. David Su, 13, led the medal parade with six gold medals, winning races in the 100m and 1,500m freestyle, the 100m and 200m back stroke, the 400m individual medley, and the 200m butterfly. Joe Kidd, 15, placed first in both the 200m and 400m individual medley races, and added a bronze medal in the 100m back stroke. Daniel Su, 14, was the third Sungod gold medalist, doing so in the 100m butterfly. He also won silver medals in the 400m individual medley and the 1,500 freestyle. Silver medalists were Nick Kidd, 13, in the 200m back stroke, Noah Landry, 11, in the 200m butterfly and Tyler Mussche, 13, in the 100m butterfly. Mussche also won bronze in the 200m and 1,500m freestyle races. Other bronze medalists were Danielle Kisser, 14, in the 400m freestyle and Amrit Sandhu, 12, in both the 100m and 200m freestyle events. sports@surreyleader.com

SPORTS BRIEFS

Footmen earn a bronze THREE TEAMS from the Delta Footmen qualified for the B.C. field lacrosse championships, with the club’s under-19 team winning a bronze medal. The Footmen upset the under-19 regular season champions from New Westminster 9-6 in the round robin, then came from behind to defeat the Langley Thunder 10-7 in the bronze medal game. Colten Burr received the Fair Play Award for the 2010-11 season. The under-16 Footmen squad showed determination and sportsmanship, while not advancing past round robin play. The under-12 Footmen qualified for a bronze medal game, falling to the Langley Thunder and placing fourth. The Fair Play Award winner was Victor Robichaud. Coach Andrew Walters also praised the leadership shown by Ryan Walters, Alan Clarke, Jakob DeSousa, Brian Larsen and Ryan Jones.

League honour for Cronin Courtney Cronin of North Delta has been named the Summit League’s Pitcher of the Week. It was the first honor of the season for Cronin, and the fourth of her career with the IPFW (Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne) Mastodons. Cronin went 3-0 (won-loss) on the week, while not allowing a run, running her streak to 21 consecutive scoreless innings in the circle. The junior had 16 strikeouts in 19 innings of work, while opponents batted just .115.

Her three shutouts gives her 19 for her career, moving her to a tie for sixth in the Summit League career list, while her 292 career strikeouts moves her to 18th on the Summit League all-time list. She also helped her own cause at the plate, batting .333 with a home run and four runs driven in at the plate.

McKaylie Taverner placed first on both vault and beam, and third on floor on her way to a second place finish in the all around standings, while Debbie Besoiu placed first on vault, and third on bars, beam and floor to place third all around.

Gymnasts in top three

Several local athletes have contributed to a strong start by the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds (UBC) softball team. The T-birds are 8-8 after a pair of tournaments in California

A pair of gymnasts from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary won all around medals at the Fraser Valley high school gymnastics championships in Port Coquitlam.

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich If everyone named Hudon in the harness racing industry decided to head for the 2011 National Driving Championship in Charlotttetown on May 7, the PEI Tourism & Visitors Bureau wouldn’t have enough hotel rooms to accommodate all of them. It’s been said that the Hudon clan in standarbred racing is not unlike those frisky rabbits that invade Vancouver Island every year. They pop up everywhere. When Dave Hudon won the Western Regional Driving Championship at Fraser Downs on Feb. 26, his mother and father from a small community outside of Edmonton were on hand to cheer him on, as were Dave’s hard-working racing wife Kelly and son, Dave Jr. Dave’s younger brother, Gerry, was representing Alberta in the eight-race championship event. But that’s just the tip of the Hudon iceberg. There are related Hudons in great numbers who are owners, trainers, drivers and grooms across the country and one day an enterprising promoter will lure them all together at the same track for a ‘Hudon Hoedown’. Dave, 47, is ecstatic about making the trip to the ‘Far East’ as he and Brandon Campbell (Alberta) will represent Western Canada in the National Final in Prince Edward Island. It was in August of 2005 when PEI entered a new era in harness racing with the opening of a $25 million facility called the Charlottetown Driving Park Entertainment Centre. The result was the introduction of Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at Charlottetown Driving Park. Because of the sometimes-cruel weather, the harness racing season doesn’t get rolling at Red Shores until May of each year. The track is a half-mile oval, featuring a safety lane conﬁguration as well as a passing lane. Upwards of 15,000 fans have been known to pack the place for the $60,000 Gold Cup & Saucer that draws pacers from all over North America. Back to The Downs,‘good on’ young Kayla Mills for winning the annual Powder Puff Pace for Harness The Hope last Friday night in, let us say, less than ideal weather conditions. The fundraiser for breast cancer research featured all female drivers with the horses sporting pink hooves and matching equipment. Kayla drove Thisisbliss to victory, a nine-year-old gelding trained by Dave Hudon and owned by Kayla’s mother, Diana Mills. Thank you, ladies, for a fun time for a great cause.

Bodwell came off her line to break up numerous Rave attacks, and one of her clearances led to the opening goal in the first half. Hanna Barrett set up the first goal, with Amber Vanderpol and Kendra MacIntosh assisting on the second. Port Coquitlam broke up Bodwell’s shutout bid with half a minute remaining, scoring on the rebound after Bodwell had saved a difficult free kick. Other Inferno players who had outstanding games were Harleen Gill, Zeenie Atick, Olivia Jones, Natasha Minenok, Kaneisha Andrews, and Danny Pozzobon.

Roots

and records With the help of a local genealogy expert, Annabelle Lee has traced her family’s heritage back to the 1600s – in Robin Hood’s ‘hood BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Annabelle Lee, 83, learned how to search for her family’s history – what she now calls an addiction – with the help of Bob Bray’s genealogy courses at the Fleetwood Recreation Centre. by Boaz Joseph

nnabelle Lee is slowly getting comfortable with her first laptop, which she bought early last year for a then-new seniors’ computer course at the Fleetwood Recreation Centre. “I’m not a guru with computers. I’m just hunt-and-peck,” says the sprightly 83-year-old Fleetwood woman. “When I get into too much difficulty, I call my grandchildren.” Her instructor, Bob Bray, noticed her interest – and that of other seniors – in searching for their family histories with the new computers. He decided to start a genealogy course, which Lee took. Then she took another, getting up to speed how to use online databases on free websites. Pretty soon, she was time-travelling backwards hundreds of years, working to complete a puzzle that Annabelle Lee suddenly needed solving. Ultimately, it couldn’t be – but that was part of the fun. Lee didn’t know a whole lot about her family history at first. She kicks herself now for not talking more to one knowledgeable uncle when she was younger, but the more she learned from her new hobby, the more genealogy pulled her in. “I got just absolutely addicted to it.” Once she understood the basics from the classes at the recreation centre, she branched out on her own, slowly building the family tree on her father’s side. Lee’s search, which began in March 2010 in Surrey, took her in August to the villages around Nottinghamshire, the ’hood of an English folklore hero – albeit hundreds of years after his mythological existence. “I didn’t know anything about Nottingham other than

“I started too late. I should’ve done this 50 years ago.”

Robin Hood,” says Lee, who had travelled to the UK before, but never between London and Scotland. She found the place a revelation, a far more immersive area to search for information that the Internet. Lee discovered a 1,000-year-old church in which her ancestors had worshipped as far back as the 1600s – the limit local records would take her on her father’s side of the family. While there, she attended service at St. Mary’s Church in Nottingham with her 23-year-old granddaughter. The search for Bend, her paternal grandfather’s family, took her back about eight generations. The town records showed a number of her ancestors tied to cotton-related factories in the late 1700s, early in the Industrial Revolution. Others were farmers or, in later periods, teachers. More information would be gleaned from official census records, which would begin in 1801. She discovered huge families (her own father, Albert Bend, was the youngest of 11) and that relatively recent family middle names were once surnames further down the family tree. To her dismay, Lee was told that one gravesite she looked for was probably under a parking lot. Although Lee doesn’t expect to make a ground search of her mother’s territory in Scotland, Lee is starting to make some difficult inroads into her late husband’s Irish ancestry. “I can’t get along with the Irish very well,” she says with a laugh, explaining that the cost-for-service websites are not something she’s comfortable with. “I haven’t gotten past the free stuff.” (As an aside, Lee says records show three-generation links of her husband’s family to Scotland, not Ireland, and has yet to convince his family). Some of the difficulties in her genealogical searches – part of the addiction – is trying to mesh family hearsay over the years with the breaks in the records or changes in surnames.

Lee explains she’s having trouble finding credence to the family legend that her paternal grandmother’s side goes back to a lieutenant of William the Conqueror (one of his commanders). According to that legend, a Pigott (or a variation of that name, perhaps Picoat or Piquot) was one of several military officers who were rewarded with land – in this man’s case, Ireland – in the decade after William’s Norman invasion of England in 1066. But the connections are hard to find. “I can get Bend back into the 1600s, I can get the Pigotts back part-way, but I’m trying to come up from William and I’m having trouble finding out the names of his commanders. “I’m working at it,” she says. “It’ll take me the rest of my life to find it, if I can.” Last Christmas, Lee gave her family a printed family tree and history lesson. There was no royalty there, she told them, just ordinary, hard-working people. A couple of cousins are into the hobby – her four kids and 12 grandchildren have yet to get drawn in. “Hopefully they carry it on. I started too late. I should’ve done this 50 years ago.” Bray says seniors such as Lee have an affinity for the hobby because, with contact they had with their grandparents when they were younger, they have a link with as much as 150 years of family history. “When they record the family history, it’s really a gift for the younger generation,” he says. “It’s a contribution to the strength of the family.” For more information about the available genealogy and related computer courses for seniors at the Fleetwood Recreation Centre, call Bob Bray at 604-318-3553 or visit http://fleetwoodseniorscomputerclub.shawwebspace. ca/

SCHOUTEN, Antonius Passed away at the Calgary Foothills Medical Center, on Friday February 25, 2011 at the age of 81. Beloved husband of Petronella (Nelly) for 56 years. Dearly loved father of Theo (Ted) Schouten (Barbara Bienias) of Santa Monica, California, Ramona Kroeker (Kelly and their sons Brady and Landon) of North Battleford, Saskatchewan and Kevin Schouten (Rosanne Drescher and their son Kyle) of Calgary, Alberta. Predeceased by his father and mother (Theodore 1991 and Elizabeth 1968) and brother Willy (2006) Tom was born in Nijmegen, The Netherlands in 1929, got married to Nelly Van Betuw of Arnhem, The Netherlands in 1954 and immigrated to Weyburn in Canada in 1957. For the next 30 years Tom and Nelly raised their three children and established their lives in a new country. In 1988 they moved to Vancouver and for the next 20 years they enjoyed their retirement in a warmer climate.In 2009, Tom and Nelly made the decision to begin the next phase of their lives in Calgary in order to be closer to their family. Shortly after Christmas, Tom became ill and was admitted to the hospital. While he fought valiantly, with the support of Nelly and the hospital staff, who tended to his needs over the past two months, he died peacefully in his sleep.Tom was a good man who had a strong will and beliefs. At his request there will be no funeral but a celebration of his life will be held later this year.
