Poll finds support for return of photo radar
Even in death, still no respect for Surrey woman
Enforcement option beats out higher speed limits by Jeff Nagel A NEW poll has found more B.C.
A Christmas memorial wreath was placed at the site where Janice Shore was savagely beaten one year ago. It lasted only a day. by Kevin Diakiw
ON SUNDAY, at a vacant lot in Whalley, he cleared the space of garbage, needles and condoms, and then hung a wreath on the tree where 45-year-old Janice Shore was savagely beaten last year. The following day, he returned to put a circle of candles at the makeshift memorial – but the wreath, along with Shore’s picture, had been torn down and taken away. The man, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he was both saddened and surprised at the lengths someone took to remove the wreath. It had been fastened firmly to the tree. “Someone went to a lot of effort to rip that thing out of there,” he told The Leader. He said he’ll be back daily to make sure some reminder of Shore remains. On Dec. 2, 2012, Shore was found barely conscious, partially clothed and severely beaten in the empty lot near the edge of Whalley’s notorious “strip” near 135A Street and 106 Avenue. She died in hospital after spending two months in a coma. The man who hung the wreath – who brought Shore flowers and chocolate while she was in hospital – said when she died, he considered her to be an example of everything that is wrong with the world.
“Half the men driving out there say we’re just going too slow...”
“Killing her is bad enough, but they want to destroy her memory.”

residents support a return to photo radar than endorse higher speed limits on the province’s highways. The Insights West poll conducted for Black Press found 37 per cent back higher highway speed limits, while 55 per cent said they should be kept the same and five per cent would lower them. Meanwhile, 39 per cent support bringing back photo radar to help curb speeding, while 53 per cent were opposed. The camera-equipped roadside Mario Conseco vans automatically detected speeders and issued tickets by mail in the 1990s and were eliminated in 2001 by the incoming B.C. Liberal government. The findings split sharply on gender lines, with women and older drivers much more likely to oppose higher speed limits and support photo radar speed enforcement.
