▶ JANET OLSON MAINTAINS STOLEN DOGS WERE SUFFERING, SAYS SHE WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING

▶ D-DAY HEROES HONOURED Second World War veterans Gerry Gaudet (left) and John Thompson, both 92, received the Legion of Honour award at the Whalley Legion Monday from JeanChristophe Fleury (centre), the Consul General of France in Canada. To mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the French government is recognizing all living Canadian veterans who participated in the D-Day operation. The Legion of Honour award is the highest decoration France can bestow.

Both Surrey veterans participated in the D-Day attack in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944 – Gaudet as a mine sweeper in the army and Thompson in the airforce.

According to Fleury, there remain about 600 D-Day survivors in Canada. EVAN SEAL

NO JAIL TIME FOR DOG THIEF TRACY HOLMES

A former South Surrey woman who admitted to stealing dogs has been told she will receive a 90-day conditional sentence.

Janet Olson, 61, learned of her impending penalty Tuesday morning in Surrey Provincial Court.

But while happy her punishment is to be what she considers “a fair sentence,” Olson said if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a thing.

“Yes. These dogs were suffering,” Olson told reporters outside court.

Judge Melissa Gillespie adjourned the Janet Olson imposition of sentencing – delaying actual sentencing until next month, after Olson is to return from a family reunion in Toronto – following submissions last month from Crown Michelle Wray and defence counsel Craig Sicotte.

At that time, in an agreed statement of facts, Olson acknowledged she tried to take a dog from a rescontinued on page 5

MANDATORY VACCINES PANNED ▶ B.C.’S TOP

DOCTOR PREFERS EDUCATION OVER COMPULSORY IMMUNIZATION JEFF NAGEL

B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer is panning the idea of making vaccinations mandatory for children to enter B.C. schools.

Dr. Perry Kendall doubts the strategy would dramatically improve the immunization rate of children entering school – currently 69 per cent of two-year-olds in Fraser Health have all recommended shots.

“I don’t think there’s a magic bullet,” Kendall said.

Compulsory vaccination policies typically come with exemptions for medical and religious reasons, although some U.S. states such as California allow any personal objection.

Ontario has a mandatory vaccination law with $1,000 fines for parents who don’t get a valid exemption for unvaccinated kids.

Children who aren’t vaccinated against specified diseases can be sent home if there’s an outbreak.

Alberta keeps vaccinations optional but its schools reserve the right to exclude unvaccinated children during outbreaks.

Kendall said it would be relatively easy for B.C. to add a requirement to report vaccination status at time of enrolment – that alone can nudge fence-sitting parents to get their kids vaccinated or remind others who haven’t kept

up with the schedule of shots.

A tougher Ontario-style law applied in B.C. might boost coverage by a couple percentage points, he suggested.

But Kendall said it’s debatable whether that would translate into any fewer infections from vaccine-preventable diseases.

“Last year we had over 400 cases of measles but they were in a community that refuses to be vaccinated,” Kendall said, referring to the 2014 Fraser Health outbreak centred on Chilliwack. “That community would have been unvaccinated even if we had a law in place because of [exemptions for] religious grounds.”

This year, he noted, Ontario is battling an imported measles outbreak despite its law, while continued on page 3

▼ POLICY BARRING UNVACCINATED KIDS FROM SCHOOL COULD BACKFIRE: KENDALL

B.C. is unscathed.

Kendall instead prefers better education and persuasion.

And he would target parents who are “soft” opponents whose concerns can be addressed one-on-one by medical professionals rather than entrenched anti-vaxers.

“The more pointed the message, the more some of these people seem to just dig into their belief systems,” he said.

A mandatory policy that bars unvaccinated students from school enrolment could actually backfire, Kendall warned, because it might result in those kids clustering together instead of mixing with and getting protection from vaccinated students.

“You might have certain private schools where no kids are vaccinated and then you lose any benefit from herd immunity.”

Kendall believes many parents whose kids aren’t up to date on vaccinations are busy or have lost track, and aren’t necessarily taking a strong anti-vaccine stance.

Smartphone reminder apps now offer help to keep parents on schedule, and Kendall is hopeful an automated phone reminder system programmed from doctors’ offices will soon launch as well.

Kendall is optimistic the public attention from the high-profile Disneyland measles outbreak will bring a significant jump in vaccination rates in B.C. But B.C.’s top doctor says Perry Kendall public health defenders “missed the boat” years ago when they failed to swiftly and effectively counter a debunked study tying vaccines to autism that was promoted by a TV celebrity and then took off on social media.

He said future outbreaks of misinformation must be fought hard and early on social media and website comments, but admitted there’s insufficient resources to do that well.

SFU health sciences professor and ethicist Jeremy Snyder said the big challenge is building trust in the scientific community among a public skeptical of professionals and suspicious of pharmaceutical firms.

He said it’s unclear what will convince them of the benefit and safety of vaccines.

“If we can’t figure it out then maybe that’s when we need to take a look at the more coercive means like compulsory vaccination,” Snyder said, adding there may eventually be a “very strong argument” for it.

Some family doctors in parts of the U.S. won’t accept into their practices families who reject vaccination.

Professional bodies discourage doctors from discriminating against certain patients, but Snyder said there is an argument that it protects other patients, particularly babies too young to be vaccinated.

“If you have a child showing up in your waiting room who has not been vaccinated and has measles, that’s putting all the other children at risk, especially those under one year of age.”

Surrey First spent $1.2M to sweep city council ▼ ELECTORAL ORGANIZATION SPENT MORE THAN THREE TIMES THAT OF BARINDER RASODE’S ONE SURREY TEAM KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey First spent $1.18 million securing every seat on city council, according to recently released campaign disclosure statements.

The expense period covers money spent from Jan. 1 to Nov.15, 2014.

The expense eclipses that of Mayor Linda Hepner’s Surrey First competitors.

Mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode’s One Surrey coalition spent $351,000 during in the run up to the election, and Safe Surrey, with Doug McCallum as mayoral hopeful, spent just over $70,000.

The $1.2 million spent by Surrey First is a new high-water mark for the organization, which spent $662,000 in the 2011 election, when it also swept council.

This year’s contributors to the Surrey First campaign read like a who’s who of the development industry, as $902,000 of the campaign war chest was created by corporations.

David Balsor contributed $25,000 to the campaign, while Robert Bosa gave the coalition $21,500.

Other big contributors include: Bhupinder Ajula ($20,000), Surrey Fire Fighters Association ($32,600), Gurved Sandhu ($15,000) and Ralph Berezan ($13,000).

The vast majority of the campaign expenditures ($301,000) went to salaries and wages. Research and polling gobbled

$163,000 of the campaign funds, while radio, TV and newspaper ads came to $174,000.

Contributors to Rasode’s One Surrey’s campaign was a mix of union groups, developers and members of the community.

Larger donors included Bosa Properties ($14,000), BC Maritime Employers ($12,000), United Steelworkers ($10,000), Value Industries ($10,000), and the Rasode family ($10,000).

The bulk of Rasode’s expenditures went to “other” advertising ($120,000) and research and polling ($50,000).

Former Mayor Doug McCallum’s Safe Surrey Coalition received its larger donations from Bill’s Developments (Bob Cheema) for $9,600, Crown Distributors ($5,000), and Wendy and Rodney Cameron ($5,000).

Safe Surrey spent almost half of its $78,000 in contributions on salaries and wages ($30,000) and “other” campaign expenses ($15,800).

Linda Hepner Surrey First Education (SFE), which swept all the Surrey school board seats, spent $35,000 in its campaign.

The largest donor by far was the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which donated $11,000 to the coalition. It represents the only union contribution to the SFE campaign.

There was also $16,700 from corporations and $7,500 from continued on page 4

KEVIN DIAKIW

Delta’s main party spent $109,000 installing two people on council in that municipality in the last election.

The Delta Independent Voters Association (DIVA) were successful in getting Robert Campbell and Ian Paton elected. (Fellow party member Lois Jackson was acclaimed mayor of the seven-seat council, so no money was spent on her campaign).

The amount the party spent was four times that of Independents Working For You (IWFY), which spent $26,000 and was successful in getting both its candidates – Jeannie Kanakos and Bruce McDonald – elected to council.

IWFY spent about $5,000 less than they collected in donations ($31,000).

Delta Connect spent $49,500 and was unsuccessful getting any of its four council candidates elected.

Two independents were also elected to Delta council, including Sylvia Bishop, who spent $43,000, and

Ian Paton

Robert Campbell Heather King, who managed to get on council by spending only $16,000.

Of DIVA’s donors, more than two-thirds ($116,000) were corporations and the rest were individuals.

The party received no donations from trade unions.

DIVA’s largest donors were Willow Bay Holdings Ltd. ($10,000), Alpha Aviation ($6,000) and Millennium Pacific Greenhouses ($6,000).

There were also a host of others donating $5,000, including Ocean Trailer, Westshore Terminal, Dayhu Investments, Westwood Ridge Developments

and Polygon Homes.

DIVA spent just over $20,000 each on professional services, advertising and research and polling.

IWFY’s donors were mostly corporations ($22,000) with the remainder ($9,000) coming from individuals. No individual or corporation donated more than $2,500 to IWFY. The vast majority of the party’s money spent was on advertising and billboards.

Delta’s Independent Democratic Electoral Alliance (IDEA) spent no money and was unsuccessful in getting either of its two candidates elected.

Bishop’s donors were largely corporations as well ($30,000) with the bulk of the remainder coming from individuals and $1,750 given by various trade unions.

Her largest donation by far was the $15,000 she received from Betaview Homes Ltd. She also received $5,000 from Willow Bay Helicopters.

King received $10,000 from corporations, $5,000 from individuals and nothing from trade unions. Donations to her campaign were all less than $5,000.

In the fight for school board, the big spender was IWFY’s education arm, which spent $26,000 getting two people –Laura Dixon and Nick Kanakos – elected to the seven-member board.

REAL (Responsible Education and Academic Leadership Society) used $19,000 putting two people –Fabian Milat and Dale Saip – on the Delta School Board.

Kids Matter spent just over half that ($11,000) installing Rhiannon Bennett and Bruce Reid to the board.

Independent Val Windsor took a school trustee seat by spending $4,500.

â–ś ‘NO EVIDENCE’ DOGS TAKEN FOR PROFIT from page 1

idence in Chilliwack in 2009, took a dog from a home in Richmond in 2010 and was in the process of stealing a bulldog in Coquitlam when she was arrested in November 2011.

In the months that followed, dozens of dog-theft-related charges mounted against the retired Air Canada pilot.

Olson told the court last month that she believed that rather than breaking the law, she was acting to enforce existing animal-protection laws.

But while Gillespie accepted Olson was passionate about her cause, she did not accept her logic for justifying the crimes she committed. “No matter how noble the cause is, the law must be obeyed,� Gillespie said Tuesday, in her reasons for sentence. “While Miss Olson’s actions may have been noble, the manner in which she carried them out were illegal.�

Several times, Gillespie quoted from a journal of Olson’s that police seized while

executing a search warrant. The statements, she said, make it clear that Olson knew she was stealing dogs, had planned each theft extensively and was aware of the potential consequences.

In one entry, written after the Chilliwack incident, Olson writes, “If the police caught me, I was at risk of losing my organization and my job.�

Other entries include details of using fake licence plates to avoid having her vehicle linked to the crimes; carrying out the socalled rescues at night to further avoid detection; and parking her van so that it looked like she was visiting a neighbour, but was “close enough to make a fast escape.�

Olson also wrote, “’Aside from stealing other people’s dogs, I’m a very honest and upstanding citizen’,�

Gillespie quoted.

Evidence of the latter points were among mitigating factors that Gillespie said she took into account in determining an appropriate sentence.

She cited more than

20 letters of support received for Olson that describe her as a passionate, selfless and generous person who spent a lot of her own money on dog-welfare efforts. Olson’s sister said Olson “guided her to be an upstanding

human being.�

Gillespie also noted that Olson was involved in her community and was highly regarded in her profession – which she had to take early retirement from after her actions led to a criminal record.

While Gillespie found Olson was not remorseful for her actions, she

said she did not consider her lack of remorse an aggravating factor in the case.

Aggravating factors included that the offences were committed over a lengthy period of time, involved “a high degree of planning and co-ordination� and that the risk of harm to others “was not insignificant.� “The accused has chosen to take the law in her own hands and as a result, acted as a vigilante of sorts,�

Gillespie said. “The actions were deliberate, planned, and Miss Olson knew‌ that she was breaking the law.â€?

In the months following her arrest, dozens of dog-theft-related charges mounted against Olson. She pleaded guilty to four, and the remainder are expected to be stayed.

Olson said outside court that she continues to receive threats against her in connection with a statement made about her in a media release issued by the RCMP following her arrest, which indicated she had been taking the dogs for

(Gillespie, in her reasons, noted there was “no evidence that there was ever any money made by Miss Olson for doing this.�)

And while Olson said she has filed a complaint against the police, “they will never be held accountable for that statement.�

Olson – who said she had to sell her house as a result of charges, and has since moved to Langley – pledged to return to legitimate dog-rescue efforts, and to focus on changing cruelty-to-animal rules at the legislative level. As well, she said she has written a book, Gone to the Dogs, that she hopes to one day see made into a movie.

Noting “hundreds and thousands of taxpayer dollars� had been spent on her case, Olson said it will be “up to the public to decide if this was a really valid use of their money.�

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Thursday Februar y 26 2015

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you think there should be campaign spending limits for municipal elections?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you think illegal dumping of trash will increase now that the cost of using local transfer stations has gone up?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 95% No 5%

Election spending matters Money ran like water in the 2014 Surrey civic election.

Never before has there been such an expensive election campaign. While it is hard to come up with the total amount spent, an evening poring over campaign disclosure statements indicates that somewhere around $1.6 million was spent on the race for Surrey council.

The statements are located on Elections BC’s website, and the information there shines a new spotlight on the cost of running a campaign in a large city like Surrey. It also demonstrates just how deeply candidates depend on developers and other businesses. If the campaigns had been financed solely by individuals, spending would have been about one-fifth of the actual amount spent.

Surrey First, which won every seat on council, spent by far the most – close to $1.2 million. Of that total, over $900,000 was contributed by businesses and other corporations, with another $37,664 from unions.

The two unions putting in funds were the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the International Association of Fire Fighters. Both represent city employees and have a major stake in the outcome of the election.

Business contributors were primarily developers, realtors and builders, but there was

a broad spectrum of other businesses who donated to the campaign. Some were from as far away as Quebec.

The money Surrey First raised was spent on advertising (about $450,000); wages (more than $300,000) and interestingly, research and polling (almost $163,000).

Given that this was proclaimed as a three-way race for mayor and a fight for control of council, the high spending on polling isn’t surprising. It undoubtedly guided a great deal of some of the advertising. Surrey First spent heavily in the final week of the campaign, pulling out its not-so-secret weapon – outgoing mayor Dianne Watts, who clearly helped drive voters to the Surrey First candidates.

Surrey First won by a landslide, and the final push played a big role in its success. While the candidates all helped, Watts was by far the biggest name – even though she wasn’t on the ballot.

One Surrey, headed by mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode, spent more than $300,000 on its campaign. Donations came mainly from corporations and unions, although there were significant personal donations.

Former mayor Doug McCallum’s Safe Surrey Coalition, which ran four candidates for council along with McCallum for

mayor, spent much less – about $93,000. McCallum himself contributed more than $43,000.

Both the Rasode and McCallum campaigns also spent funds on research and polling, but far less than Surrey First.

Rasode spent close to $50,000 and McCallum spent just under $16,000.

It was clearly one of the most significant Surrey elections in the past 20 years. At stake was Watts’ legacy and her contributions to the city, as both McCallum and Rasode wanted to go in different directions. There were major issues, such as crime and policing, and there was significant public interest. Voter turnout, at about 35 per cent, was up as well.

The huge amount spent illustrates the enormous challenges of campaigning effectively in a city as large as Surrey. Its diversity, with many eligible voters speaking languages other than English, adds even more challenges.

It is important to know just how expensive the election was and who contributed to the various candidates. Disclosure makes for more transparency. Council watchers will pay attention to decisions made in the next four years, and will be able to refer to disclosures if necessary.

QUITE FRANKLY ▼ Frank Bucholtz

INBOX

Garbage-free view You get what you pay for ▼ THINK TWICE BEFORE THROWING YOUR TRASH OUT THE WINDOW Being disgusted by the amount of trash discarded along 168 Street, I decided to email the mayor with my concerns.

Just four hours later, at least five city staff members arrived and began picking up this waste. These staff members maneuvered along the narrow portion of 168 Street by the Serpentine River dyke, literally risking their lives to clean up trash that some people seem

to think isn’t important enough to take home – and all this in an area where the 60 km/h speed limit seems to only be a suggestion.

168 Street has some of the most spectacular views of Golden Ears, Mount Baker and the coast mountains, so in the future take a moment to gaze at the view instead of throwing your garbage out that window.

Kudos to Mayor Linda Hepner for her timely response to my concern and to her staff for a job well done.

▼ AT-GRADE LRT MAY BE CHEAPER, BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE IT BETTER I agree with letter writer Keith Wilson (“Surrey deserves better than atgrade transit system,” The Leader, Feb. 12).

Not only does an atgrade LRT hold up road traffic at crossings, but

also collides with road traffic, at uncontrolled crossings. Not even once, has SkyTrain ever had an accident with road traffic since it either goes over or under road traffic.

The only time that Skytrain ran into anything is when some idiot threw a shopping cart down on the tracks from a higher level.

There are only two arguments in favour of an LRT system: It is cheaper

and it will reduce traffic congestion. The former is because it is not an automated elevated system, and the latter has not been proven, even when there are many other LRT systems in operation to compare it with.

It is like comparing a Volkswagen with a BMW. You get what you pay for.

Transit vote will shape Surrey’s future ▼ LRT WOULD REDUCE COMMUTE TIMES AND ACCESS, AND CITY PLANS TO HAVE MORE FORESTED LAND DEDICATED AS PARK SPACE Re: “How will you vote?” column by Frank Bucholtz (The Leader, Feb. 19).

The upcoming referendum on transit and transportation will shape the future of our city and the region. For Surrey, if the referendum is successful, it would mean 195,000 more people in our city will finally have access to transit that’s within walking distance and so frequent that a schedule would no longer be required – the proposed LRT (Light Rail Transit) lines would service more than 120,000 people alone. It would mean shaving 20 to 30 minutes off the daily commute for both the motorist and transit user.

While Mr. Bucholtz raises several important issues about the plan, there are a number of points that appear in his column that I would like to clarify.

Mr. Bucholtz states that when it comes to LRT, Surrey is getting a Chevy while Vancouver gets a Cadillac. Actually, the costs for a SkyTrain system are more akin to a Ferrari than a Cadillac. If Surrey was to build a SkyTrain, we would be paying one-and-a-half to two times more than an LRT system and getting one line instead of two servicing our city for the same investment. That means instead of having a 27 km network connecting City Centre, Guildford, Newton, Fleetwood and Langley we would have to make do with a single line to Langley only.

I would also like to challenge his assertion that

a street level LRT line would be subject to “red lights and thus not a great deal faster than any other method of transportation.” We have the technical ability to synchronize our signal system so that the LRT line receives green light priority at intersections, which would result in substantial savings in travel time over regular vehicle traffic.

The example on Fraser Highway is a 22-minute run time for LRT as compared to existing commute times of up to 50 minutes during rush hour.

As for how LRT compares to SkyTrain, the latter more expensive system would only reduce the travel time by a further four minutes. Also, an at-grade LRT line integrates well in the planning of our neighbourhoods as the street level stations allow for a more vibrant interaction with our communities and easier access for people of all ages and abilities.

When Fraser Highway is improved with Light Rail Transit and bicycle lanes, the plan is to have even more forested land as dedicated park space to Green Timber Urban Forest. The engineering department is working closely with the Green Timbers Heritage Society and the city’s urban forestry staff to preserve the trees within the Fraser Highway corridor.

As for the issue of tolls, here’s where Mr. Bucholtz and I wholeheartedly agree – there is no doubt communities South of the Fraser are bearing the brunt of this cost. That’s why council and I are advocating equitable distance-based mobility road pricing for the entire region and not just point tolls that are commonly found on crossings like bridges.

Now 33, Lovett has learned to live with his artificial leg, which has been replaced more than a dozen times.

He can’t do the things he was passionate about in his youth but still tries to stay active. He often can be seen on the golf course and belongs to a pool league.

And he loves to start his day “bugging one of my three cats.”

Chronic pain is a reality Lovett lives with.

“I don’t take pain meds,” he says with a smile. “I’ve had this injury long enough that I know, if I’m in pain, I just take my leg off and relax.”

This week Lovett also spoke at Kwantlen Park Secondary and Sullivan Heights Secondary.

When you are 18, high school graduation parties and travel and post-secondary aspirations are often on the list for planning one’s life.

But for Mission resident Michael Lovett, a life-altering workplace accident changed all that.

Wrestling and playing soccer at the time, with hopes of paying off his recently purchased truck, Lovett figured a sawmill job would provide him with the funds he needed and the ability to appease his mom, who was concerned he was not working.

The same day he applied to work at the local family-owned sawmill, Lovett was hired.

Armed with only a few minutes training, Lovett said he was thrown into unsupervised entry-level mill duties that he felt were not always safe.

Young and eager to please, he explained to students at Panorama Secondary in Surrey Tuesday, he didn’t feel comfortable refusing work or asking more questions.

“You know what it would have taken for me to have two legs today? A two-second timeout,” he told the attentive students.

Lovett lost his left shin while he was working a graveyard shift and trying to clean one of the mill’s

His boot got stuck in a conveyor belt which began dragging his body into the moving machinery.

Michael Lovett

Though his leg was crushed, resulting in nine surgeries, 12 units of blood transfusions, a month’s stay in Royal Columbian Hospital and extensive physiotherapy, Lovett remains

grateful.

“It could have been so much worse. I could have – probably should have – died.”

Sponsored by WorkSafe BC, Lovett has been telling his story to high school students and workers across Canada and in the U.S. He estimates in his 10 years presenting, he has given as many as 1,000 presentations to more than 50,000 sets of ears.

Asked what he hopes his listeners get from his talk, he replies,”Mostly I just want kids to make informed decisions in the workplace and know their rights.”

He also warns them to look out for themselves: “ Work is not like school. Nobody is watching out for you like your teach-

Domestic violence in B.C. continues to be on the rise.

Last year, the BC Coroner’s Service reported 14 spousal homicides occurred in the province – a five-year all-time high.

As a result, magazine editor and film festival promoter Jessie Lehail wanted to organize an educational event that would help those suffering violence in the home.

“We needed to do something because nobody else seemed to be doing anything about a problem of this magnitude,” she said.

To be held on International Women’s Day, March 8, the Meri Awaaz symposium in Surrey will host eight expert panelists and even include the recitation of a Punjabi poem written by a victim of domestic violence. The focus of the event is to work collaboratively with women’s groups to facilitate awareness on the topic of abuse of South Asian women.

Jessie Lehail Meri Awaaz or “My Voice” is an educational platform described as a place where citizens can connect in different capacities which includes reporting and discussing local domestic violence issues.

Earlier this month, the B.C. government announced it was using $3 million in civil forfeiture funds to pay for a new Domestic Violence Unit in Surrey – the sixth of its kind to open in the province. The unit is part of a new, three-year $5.5-million Provincial Domestic Violence Plan that was coordinated through the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence.

The symposium will run from 12-4 p.m. in room 2600 at the Simon Fraser University Surrey campus(13450 102 Ave.).

Admission is free but donations are being collected for the Surrey Women’s Centre. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/18gs37c

Flying Robots to Help Control Traffic

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Barrister & Solicitor

emote controlled pilotless vehicles also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs are commonly called drones.

We are told that the word ‘drone’ in the first instance denotes a male honeybee whose fixed role is apparently lazy and unadventurous and with no duties regarding the collection of pollen. Applying the word to a hardworking, multi-tasking, bug-like flying robot may be an unsuitable extension of the meaning of the word, but we now seen this recent use become universally standardized. See “The Flight of ‘Drone’ from Bees to Planes� by Ben Zimmer, July 26, 2013 in the WSJ. Suffice to say here that the rapidity with which ‘drone’ capabilities and utility have developed may either upend the old connotation permanently or peel off the label altogether. And while this transformation is underway, with it should emerge an awareness of the enormous potential of drones for peaceful purposes as opposed to the current impression of drones as no more than combat and espionage machines.

Interest in the limitless uses of drones has resulted in some major expositions of the flying robot. Hundreds of enthusiasts and robotics firms worldwide have been competing for some very handsome prizes for up to US$1 million as well as the attention of large aerospace corporations looking for the latest innovative technology.

The showcased areas in which the harmless potential could be applied include public health, agriculture, urban planning, logistics and the environment. One recent award winner, the

Swiss company Flyability created a rescue robot called the Gimball unique as the first “collisiontolerant drone� utilizing a rotating spherical outer cage.

Gimball, capable of rolling and bouncing across ceilings and floors, navigating tightly restricted areas and hostile environments such as burning buildings and radioactive sites, and of mapping its surroundings and transmitting RGB and infrared images, can cope with challenging environments without the need for fragile sensors. The rotating cage ensures it doesn’t lose its stability and ensures that it can be used safely in close proximity with people.

These kinds of developments point clearly towards the many potential applications of drone technology in connection with road traffic systems. Weather reporting, traffic volume measuring and reporting, traffic surveillance for rule enforcement purposes, search and rescue and improved emergency response, road maintenance and repair—all of these are areas in which the multipurpose capabilities of drones may offer a host of advantages.

When Amazon founder Mr. Bezos announced in December 2013 Amazon’s plan for drone delivery of lightweight commercial products, skeptics pointed out obstacles: the need for federal and state regulatory approval, public safety, reliability, individual privacy, operator training and certification, security (hacking), payload thievery, and logistical challenges. In July 2014, however, Amazon drone prototypes could fly 50 miles per hour and carry 5-pound packages. And Amazon is not alone in this type of envisioning.

In China Alibaba, Asia’s largest internet company is currently testing drone delivery of small parcels and likewise Germany and the UAE are testing similar such programs.

We can expect that the application of drone technology to traffic management issues is not far away. ‌by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

In the meantime, N.H. had obtained a court order denying her husband parenting time and forbidding him from taking the children outside B.C. When she went to the home, it was clear M.E.H. and the kids had “left town in a hurry.�

Police located them about to board a flight to Egypt. The dad-offour was charged with four counts of child abduction.

During his trial, the couple’s eldest daughter testified her father frightened the kids by saying the government would apprehend them, and offered to hide them by going to the U.S. and then to Egypt.

She said her dad had wanted to move the family to Egypt before but her mom didn’t want to because of the ongoing civil war and unrest there.

M.E.H. claimed he had his wife’s permission to take the children, and produced June 2013 school registration forms from Surrey Connect signed by his wife indicating the kids were “travelling students.�

In appealing his conviction, he argued the judge made errors in assessing evidence with regard to consent and intent.

Three appeal court judges disagreed, dismissing the appeal and upholding the provincial court judgment. “The judge accepted there were earlier plans for a possible move to Egypt, but those plans changed before July 17, 2013,� wrote Justice Anne MacKenzie in a Feb. 19 decision.

Universities don’t need lobbyists, minister says ▶ ANDREW WILKINSON LOBBIED FOR SFU, BUT SAYS SCHOOLS CAN TALK DIRECTLY TO MINISTRY

TOM FLETCHER

When Andrew Wilkinson started the year in his new job as advanced education minister, he knew B.C. universities hired lobbyists to pitch expansion plans to government.

Wilkinson was one of those lobbyists in his role as a lawyer in private practice, before being elected MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena in 2013.

Under attack for the second day in question period at the B.C. legislature, Wilkinson said

Why should Surrey and North Delta vote YES? MORE FREQUENT BUSES New B-Line Rapid Bus service every 5 minutes along Scott Road.

Bus service every 15 minutes or less on 88 Avenue, all day long.

MORE EXPO AND CANADA LINE SERVICE With 50% more Expo Line service and 33% more Canada Line service, you’ll always have a spot on the train.

ROAD AND BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS A new Pattullo Bridge. Road upgrades throughout Surrey and North Delta will ensure people and goods move more freely and efficiently while also addressing critical bottlenecks.

Together, these projects and many more meet the demands of an expected population growth of 1 million in the next 30 years, which would otherwise put unimaginable strain on an already overcrowded transportation network.

Voting YES in the upcoming Transit and Transportation Referendum will reduce the costs of congestion by 33% and improve the quality of life for everyone – all for less than 35 cents a day per household. Vote YES for a faster commute, a stronger economy and a better environment.

Look for your ballot in the mail and vote YES. Check out the Plan at mayorscouncil.ca

Tuesday the practice of universities hiring expensive consultants to speak to the government that funds and regulates them should come to an end.

“It’s been abundantly clear since I took this role that access to my ministry and to me is unlimited for all the institutions,” Wilkinson told the legislature.

He said he will advise all B.C. post-secondary institutions that they don’t need lobbyists, but as independent institutions it will be up to them to decide.

On Monday, opposition critics produced records showing Kwantlen Polytechnic University had paid consultant Mark Jiles $177,000 for “relationship building” with the government over several years. Jiles also worked on executive compensation for Kwantlen, where school officials were paid unreported bonuses that broke government salary caps.

That controversy led to Wilkinson switching cabinet jobs with Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, who was involved in the overpayments as a member of the Kwantlen board.

The cabinet shuffle took place quietly in December, after emails surfaced that contradicted Virk’s claims he was not involved in the overpayments.

On Monday, NDP advanced education critic Kathy Corrigan described Jiles’ compensation as “$15,000 a handshake.” On Tuesday, NDP leader John Horgan went further.

“The $177,000 to Mr. Jiles translated into a $50,000 contribution to the B.C. Liberal Party from Mr. Jiles,” Horgan told the legislature. “The minister [Wilkinson] lobbied for Simon Fraser University. Is the minister okay with $50,000 coming from the public back to the B.C. Liberal Party?”

Corrigan said Tuesday a similar arrangement saw lobbyist and “Liberal insider” Don Stickney paid $75,000

by Vancouver Community College.

Wilkinson is a former president of the B.C. Liberal Party who served as deputy minister for economic development and intergovernmental relations with former premier Gordon Campbell.

contacted by “these fraudsters.” Of those reports, more than 550 were from within the Lower Mainland.

The scam is largely targeting small businesses – restaurants in particular, Scott said.

While not everyone is taken in, some customers have lost “a couple thousand dollars,” she said.

Torr said he is concerned the perpetrators will prey on more vulnerable customers.

Scott said one of the best protections customers have is to know how BC Hydro actually operates in cases of arrears.

“We would never call them and demand for money,” she said. “Customers are provided numerous notifications (by mail) before we ever disconnect power.”

The power company also does not collect credit-card or bank-account information over the phone.

Torr said the individual who called him wanted his Visa number in order to bring the bill up to date, and provided a call-back phone number that seemed to connect to the power company’s customer-service line.

Scott said other customers have reported being told to go buy a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard at their local grocery store to cover the tab. It’s a method of payment that BC Hydro does not accept, she noted.

That many of the fraudulent calls are showing up on customers’ call displays as coming from BC Hydro – a tactic known as “spoofing” – is complicating the issue.

“They’re basically set up to be just like us,” Scott said.

In addition to reminding customers of the utility’s process, BC Hydro is using social media to try and combat the problem, as well as messages through mainstream media and on the company’s website.

“We’re really trying to do everything we can,” Scott said.

Scott said anyone doubting the authenticity of a call regarding their account should hang up and call back to BC Hydro, at 1-800-224-9376 (1-800-BCHydro). Account balances can also be checked at www. bchydro.com

Learn about Surrey’s public art program ▶ A TALK WITH SCULPTOR ALAN STOREY TAKES PLACE MARCH 4 IN NORTH SURREY BLACK PRESS

Chances are you’ve seen sculptures around the city – a red eagle in Newton’s Frank Hurt Park, a ribbon of colour at South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre, a big splash of water on a billboard-style screen at the new Guildford Aquatic Centre.

Public art is locat-

ed at facilities, in parks, and along city streets.

At a new talk on March 4 from 7-8:30 p.m. at Surrey City Centre Library (10530 University Dr., Room 120), the public get the chance to learn about the 60 public artworks installed across the city.

The event is free.

Learn about the public art program from Surrey’s Public Art staff and meet the artist Alan Storey, who has created local sculptures such as “Out of Thin Air”

and “Lingua Aqua.”

He will give an illustrated talk following the introduction to Surrey’s public art.

Storey is one of Canada’s foremost sculptors who specializes in public art.

He may be best known regionally for the “Pendulum” swinging in the atrium of the HSBC Bank building on Georgia Street in Vancouver.

The winning team will receive $15,000 to fabricate and install their design.

Honorariums will be awarded to second ($500) and third place teams ($250).

PARKit Design Challenge entries are due May 1, with the winner announced on May 16.

The site is expected to be installed by June 22, and will remain open through the summer.

The PARKit site is located adjacent to Surrey Central SkyTrain station, in the North Surrey Recreation Centre parking lot. This area is an important pedestrian hub, linking SFU Surrey, Central City Mall and Surrey City Hall with the SkyTrain.

The 2014 PARKit Challenge winner, “Gingham Style”, was inspired by gingham picnic basket fabric.

The design utilized large tables and stools to create a “picnic in the park” feel.

The City developed PARKit in 2012 to create temporary public park space.

The Design Challenge was introduced in 2013 to evolve the concept.

Panthers off to BCs for first time in 63 years RICK KUPCHUK

A pair of long droughts in basketball have ended at a pair of Surrey high schools.

The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and Semiahmoo Totems have clinched berths to next month’s Senior Boys 4A B.C. Championship Tournament, ending dry spells that had lasted for decades.

The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers are going

to the championship tournament in the highest tier for the first time since 1953.

“It’s been building for a few years now,” said Tweedsmuir athletic director Brien Gemmell. “I actually thought we had a better shot in 2012, but we ran into some injuries.

“They (Panthers) went to Nova Scotia in the first week of February, and it was minus-25 so they were together a lot. That

team building really worked. That, and getting healthy and peaking at the right time.”

The Panthers were seeded 10th for the 16-team playoff, but pulled off two upsets to reach the semifinal round and assure themselves of a top four placing. Six teams from the Fraser Valley advance to the BC Championships March 11-14 at the Langley Events Centre.

Lord Tweedsmuir defeated the Earl Mar-

riott Mariners 93-41 in a sudden-death game last Wednesday (Feb. 18), then surprised the Pitt Meadows Marauders 80-77 at Walnut Grove Secondary in Langley on Friday.

In the quarterfinal round Monday night, the Panthers stunned the host Walnut

KPU women clinch playoff spot â&#x2013;ś EAGLES WILL PLAY AT PACWEST PLAYOFF TOURNAMENT RICK KUPCHUK

They went winless on Vancouver Island, but the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles returned from a two-game road trip after clinching a playoff position.

The KPU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team lost 71-59 to the Camosun Chargers Friday night in Victoria and 59-48 to the Vancouver Island Mariners Saturday afternoon in Nanaimo. Their record fell to 5-14 (wonlost) in the PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Association) standings, but they remain two games up on the Columbia Bible College Bearcats for sixth place.

And with just two games to go, the Eagles are assured of at least sixth place and a quarterfinal game in the PACWEST playoff tournament March 5-7 in Abbotsford.

For much of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Victoria, it

looked as though the Eagles might get the win and clinch a postseason berth. KPU raced to a 24-8 lead after one quarter, led 33-28 at halftime, and took a slim 52-50 advantage into the final 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out really, really well in the first quarter, and hit every shot,â&#x20AC;? said Eagles assistant coach Jen Dudley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came back late in the second quarter and we struggled in the second half with getting organized on defense and running our offense.â&#x20AC;?

Shilpa Khanna with 22 points and Christina Brown with 16 were the top scorers for KPU. Samantha McPhail was the top rebounder with 12.

The Eagles again led early in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Mariners, leading 29-24 at the half and 41-40 at three-quarter time. Vancouver Island outscored the Eagles 19-7 over the final 10 minutes for the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Against Vancouver Island, we got our identity back, we were very consistent,â&#x20AC;?

said Dudley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put together three-anda-half very solid quarters. We struggled scoring at the end, but otherwise did very well against a top team.â&#x20AC;?

Khanna was again the top scorer with 15 points, with McPhail earning a double double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

The Eagles will close out the regular season with games tomorrow (Friday) in New Westminster against the Douglas College Royals and Saturday in Vancouver with the Langara Falcons.

The men saw their playoff hopes extinguished after two losses on the Island.

Now at 2-17, the Eagles are four games out of a playoff position with two games to go.

They were stopped 76-49 by Camosun Friday night. Brenden Bailey with 16 points and Matt Cooley with 13 led the Eagles. Cooley also had 11 rebounds.

Saturday in Nanaimo, KPU fell 136-63 to the Mariners. Trevor Schulz with 14 points and Cooley with 12 led the Eagles offense.

In Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal against Sophie Mehta of Ontario, Garceau lost the first set 8-11, but prevailed in the next three sets by scores of 12-10, 11-9, 12-10.

Garceau, a member of the Ivy Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cornell Big Red squash team,

is also part of Team BC, which is 3-0 in the team competition. Garceau has won two of her three matches.

Q Special Olympian Stephanie Divin of Surrey is in first place in Level II figure skating after the elements portion of the competition.

▶ TOTEMS, PANTHERS REACH SEMIFINALS from page 30

Grove Gators 75-68 to reach the final four.

Iqwinder Gill, Anthony Kucharek and Justin Mason were the leading scorers against the Gators.

“The kids know what they’ve done,” said Panthers head coach Raj Bagry. “But it’s bigger than they realize. It’s been 63 years, right.

“And it’s not just six or seven guys. One of our goals was to use our bench more. And after the trip to Nova Scotia, they’re playing not for themselves, but for everyone around them.”

For Semiahmoo, it’s been 38 years since the Totems qualified for the provincial championship tournament.

“The kids are pretty excited, this has been a long time coming,” said Totems coach Edward Lefurgy. “But it didn’t come out of the blue.

We could have done it last year, and this group has been to the provincials before at the Grade 10 level.”

Seeded seventh, the Totems blew past their first two opponents at the Fraser Valley tournament. They pummeled the W.J. Mouat Hawks 104-66 last Friday, then surprised the Holy Cross

Crusaders 112-68 at Holy Cross high school Monday evening.

Lefurgy credited the huge offensive output to the team’s strong defensive play, noting “we’re getting a lot of stops, so we’re getting the ball more.”

Brian Spanier with 29 points and Patrick Dujmovic with 25 were the top scorers.

Lefurgy was impressed by the play of Grade 10 call-up Brian Wallack, who scored 10 points and “came in and competed.”

The Panthers and Totems will play in a semifinal game tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre, the winner to play for a Fraser Valley championship at 4 p.m.

Saturday, the loser to tip-off in a game for third/fourth place at 2 p.m.

“We still have a lot too do,” said Bagry.

“The kids have bigger goals. If they’re satisfied, we’re in trouble.”

Four other Surrey schools are among eight teams in the consolation bracket seeking the fifth and sixth berths from the Fraser Valley to the provincials. The Tamanawis Wildcats, Holy Cross, Panorama Ridge Thunder and North Surrey Spartans play today, each needing two wins to qualify.

KALPATOO

Thomas Ramanand Dec. 21, 1948 - Feb.17, 2015 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Tom to a cerebral stroke on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 in Langley, British Columbia, Canada at the age of 66. He is deeply missed by his partner/wife of 35 years Deborah Strong Kalpatoo, and is survived by his brother Errol Kalpatoo (Toronto, Canada) and sister Margaret Kalpatoo (St. Joseph, Trinidad).

Tom was born in Trinidad and Tobago in 1948. He graduated from St. Mary’s College before immigrating to Canada in 1972 where he attended Simon Fraser University and earned two Bachelor’s Degrees (Latin American Studies and Urban Geography). He later earned a Master’s Degree in Conflict Resolution from Antioch University, Ohio. Tom enjoyed highly-respected, diverse careers in Canada and in Trinidad and Tobago, highlighted by his position as a post-graduate lecturer in the Mediation Studies program at the University of the West Indies. In 2014 Tom was appointed as the first Honorary Consul for Trinidad and Tobago in British Columbia.

Tom was many things: musician, counselor, teacher, mediator, mentor, loyal friend, loving husband, and excellent cook. A collector of people, his network of friends and associates was vast, spanning cultures and continents. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Visitation will take place Friday, February 27, 1-4 p.m. at Henderson’s Langley Funeral Home, 20786 Fraser Highway, Langley.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 28, 11 a.m. at the Cloverdale United Church, 17575 - 58A Avenue, Surrey, followed at 1 p.m. by burial at Surrey Centre Cemetery, 16671 Old McLellan Road and a reception at the Mirage Banquet Hall, 17767 - 64th Avenue, Surrey.

We are very sad to announce the passing of our dad Henry.

Henry was born and raised in Saint Georges de Beauce, Quebec. He was the second son of Gerard Roy & Cecile Gagnon. His father Gerard was an organist and manager of a few movie theatres that continued playing silent movies in the 1930s. So Henry remembers his dad letting him watch movies as he played the organ.

Henry later worked at Saint-Georges Woollen Mills in Saint-Georges de Beauce. His mom’s dad, J.A. Gagnon, was one of the earliest photographers in St. Georges. Henry took over the photography business working along side his mom’s sister in the same home built by Gagnon.

Henry took his high school in Chicago. And later made a career change by graduating from Palmer College School Chiropractic Fountain Head in Davenport, Iowa. home in Saint Georges de Beauce, Quebec.

In 1964 he married Ginette Grenier and later began his family in that same house. As Ginette had a physical disability, Henry took extra care of her during their 38 years of marriage. He had an elevator installed in his home to make it easier for his wife.

In 1978, Henry moved his family west to escape snow which he disliked.

Settling in Vancouver’s Kitsilano, Henry continued to work hard at making life easier for his physically disabled wife and to raise his two sons, Tony and Sydny.

After his wife’s passing in North-Surrey, Henry settled in White Rock.

Beginning in 2008 Henry began being attacked by cancer and complications from cancer. He fought a courageous battle and suffered greatly at times. He passed away on the sixth floor of Peace Arch Hospital.

Henry has left behind and will be missed by his son Tony who took care of him during his health troubles. He’ll be also missed by Sydny and his wife Maureen and their daughter on Vancouver Island, as well as several friends in Vancouver, White Rock and other relatives in Toronto and many in the province of Quebec including his brother Yvon Roy in Saint Georges de Beauce, and nieces, nephews, etc. He will be missed by Yvon Poulin and his wife Monique whom he reunited with in 2014 which he hadn’t seen in more than forty years.

Henry is predeceased by his 5 & 1/2 year old brother in 1929, his parents, his wife Ginette at Surrey Memorial Hospital on June 9 2002, and several other relatives in Quebec.

A small gathering of friends and family took place at the Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery in South Surrey on Feb 4th 2015. The family would like to thank everyone who attended and especially a family member who gave a heart warming eulogy.

We entrust him into the hands of the perfect God, who will judge all motives and intentions of the heart perfectly, rightly and mercifully.

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account?” (Hebrews 4:13).
