Sky’s the limit for paraplegic pilot

by Evan Seal

Since he was a young child, Ben Goodridge has dreamed about � ying.

You could say it’s his dad’s fault.His outgoing, o� en thrill-seeking, pilot

father once arrived at Goodridge’s elementary school and told the teachers his son had a doctor’s appoint-ment. Within minutes, the two were in his father’s small plane doing multiple barrel rolls high above the school.

“I had to promise my dad not to tell anyone it was us � ying that day,” Goodridge recalls.

It’s a memory that still brings a smile to his face.

Taking his � rst � ight with his dad was the spark that ignited a lifelong passion.

“It was the buzz and the open space,” says Goodridge, now 35, in a thick Eng-lish accent. “Seeing the world by air as a kid, it always seemed so cool. I always felt at home, it seemed like the right place to be.”

For Goodridge, a Delta resident, the delight of � ight is especially freeing.

THE SURREY man accused of killing a convenience store worker on Christmas Day in 2011 pleaded guilty to man-slaughter Thursday, admitting he shot 27-year-old Alok Gupta with a sawed-off rifle during a robbery in which he stole less than $65.

William Andrew Whiteside, 23, a

fair-skinned man with short strawberry-blond hair and tattooed arms, was originally charged with second-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in Surrey Provincial Court.

Lawyers are asking for a 16-year jail sentence, minus the 10 months Whiteside has been in custody.

Gupta, a business student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, was working at Ken’s Groceries near 110 Street and 96 Avenue on Dec. 25, 2011 when Whiteside and two friends decided to rob a store because they were out of money.

They drove to Ken’s in a car they had stolen the day before. Whiteside and another male burst through the front door.

Whiteside was carrying a sawed-off 22-calibre rifle loaded with one bullet. He pointed the firearm at Gupta, who backed up with his hands up. Between $45 and $65 was taken from the cash register. As Whiteside was walking out of the store, he was startled by a sound from Gupta and fired the rifle. A single shot struck the store clerk in the upper right chest. Whiteside concealed the gun and fled to a waiting car.

Gupta walked to a neighbour’s, holding his shoulder, his chest blood-ied.

“Please, help me,” he said, before collapsing on the ground.He stopped breathing and was later pronounced dead in hospital.In a victim impact statement, Gupta’s father said his only son was a

bright student who left India for Canada – “the country of his dreams” – in March 2011 to continue his studies.

But Canada, he said, “turned out to be the country of our doom.”He said he, his wife and daughter consider Dec. 25 the “permanent black day” of their

lives.“We are just drifting like a rudderless ship,” said the dad.

Whiteside and his friends spent the stolen money on speed, according to an agreed state-ment of facts by Crown and defence lawyers. They then torched the stolen car.

Four days later, there was a fight at a burger restaurant on King George Boulevard where Whiteside and some friends were.

During that incident, police seized a loaded, sawed-off rifle Whiteside had in his pants. He later admitted it was the same gun he had used at Ken’s Groceries, and at an armed robbery at Old Yale Grocery on Dec. 29 – four days after Gupta’s shooting. During the Dec.

29 robbery, like at Ken’s, Whiteside also pointed the gun at a store clerk before stealing $55 and some cigarettes.

In court on Thursday, Whiteside pleaded guilty to that armed robbery as well.

Whiteside was on parole and had a lifetime firearms ban at the time of both store robberies.

Crown counsel Wendy Dawson called Whiteside’s actions “totally senseless” and said he was “directly and solely responsible” for Gupta’s death and a lifetime of grief for his family.

Whiteside, she said, had dealings with police since age 12 and had a “significant” drug and alcohol problem. He’s had 31 convictions since

2002, most as a youth offender.However, she said, he has expressed remorse for the shooting on several occasions and

has cooperated with investigators.Judge James Jardine was scheduled to deliver Whiteside’s sentence today (April 9), after

the Leader’s print deadline.An update can be found at www.surreyleader.com

As a two-year-old boy on holidays with his parents in the south of France, Goodridge somehow got away from the grown-ups and ran out onto a crowded street.

He was struck by a car – a tragic accident that left him a paraplegic.

Memories of life before losing the use of his legs have long since been forgotten.

“I really don’t remember life without my wheelchair, so I’ve always had to deal with it, make the best of it,” Goodridge says.

Growing up in England, he would often go flying recreation-ally with his father and brother, and being the younger of the two siblings, was always relegated to the back seat of the aircraft.

“I can remember always being envious of my older brother because he got to sit in the front seat of the plane,” says Goodridge.

He always knew he wanted to be a pilot, but finding a school that would certify a paraplegic proved difficult, since traditional flight requires the use of both hand and foot pedals.

However, after doing some research he found a school in Cali-fornia that would certify him using a hand-only controlled aircraft.

After completing the six-month course, Goodridge went back to England with a plan to help others

with physical challenges experience the thrill of commanding their own plane.

But flying in Europe, and especially England, is viewed as a luxury due to the high costs of the hobby and few airstrips. Clients were difficult to find.

Since Goodridge holds both Canadian and British citizenship, he decided to give Canada a try, due to the country’s wide-open spaces and a more recreational and available flying community.

During a trip here last year, Goodridge visited some local flying schools and asked about starting a program specifically designed for disabled pilots. He found a receptive ear in King George Aviation owner Arnold Klappe.

“From the beginning, Arnold has been great,” says Goodridge.

“We really feel we can develop a niche market opportunity right here in Surrey that isn’t available anywhere else in Canada in terms of having a dedicated hand-controlled aircraft.”

King George Aviation, located just south of Colebrook Road off King George Highway, offers pilot training, plane rentals, and sightseeing or discovery flights.

The cost of getting a pilot’s licence for an ultralight aircraft is on average $3,500, substantially less than one for conventional aircraft, and ultralight credits are transferable towards a full pilot’s licence.

And younger pilots (age 16 and older) are eligible to gain elec-tive credits toward high school graduation.

On average, earning an ultralight pilot’s licence requires 20 hours of ground school with 17 hours of flight time.

“For me it’s been a very emotional journey,” Goodridge says of earning his wings.

“I really want to share my dream with other paraplegics or with people who didn’t know this was possible. I really want to see the expression on people’s faces.

“It’s a hell of a buzz.”

Premier Christy Clark’s vow to block new road or bridge tolls is being dismissed as unproductive and perhaps irrelevant by TransLink’s board chair.

Nancy Olewiler said Clark’s statement in Langley March 24 reject-ing universal road pric-ing or tolling may pose a barrier to solving Trans-Link’s long-term funding challenge and expanding the transit system in Metro Vancouver.

“We’re going to wait and see whether that kind of statement becomes policy or not,” Olewiler said.

“We have a current premier who has made an announcement. But that isn’t too helpful in terms of deciding how to move forward.”

She made the com-ments after being asked

about TransLink’s plans to rebuild the aging Pat-tullo Bridge and whether the replacement will be tolled.

Olewiler said that’s one example of why the province needs to reform its current tolling policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure and only if there’s a rea-sonable free alternative.

The provincial tolling policy blocks any move to road pricing, or to apply small tolls to all bridges in the region, as Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has repeatedly proposed.

The Port Mann Bridge was tolled on the basis the Pattullo offers a viable free alternative, but critics say that already questionable logic falls apart if both the Pattullo and the Massey Tunnel are also replaced with toll bridges.

“Right now, if you have

to have a free alterna-tive, I don’t know what the free alternative to the Pattullo would be,” Olewiler said. “The Alex Fraser? Not so much. A canoe?”

Metro Vancouver mayors are united in calling for various new revenue tools to fund transit expansion, includ-ing road pricing over the longer term.

Transportation Minister Mary Polak previously said mayors

can explore road pricing but must build substan-tial public support if the province is to consider approving it.

There are many poten-tial permutations of road pricing, but some mayors suggest it would see motorists pay small per kilometre fees to drive any significant distance in the region, rather than larger tolls only at certain bridges. There’s also been talk that it could partly replace other existing taxes.

“Road pricing isn’t something that can hap-pen today or tomorrow, but it would be nice to know it’s something we can continue to look at,” Olewiler said.

Mayors’ Council Chair Richard Walton the may-ors are continuing their discussions with Polak this month and as far as he is aware nothing has been taken off the table.

Walton said the aim is to have a structured public discussion on road pricing over the next year or two, adding it would be a major policy shift that should not be rushed.

“If anyone in senior government dismisses road pricing right now before there’s even a meaningful public dia-logue, I don’t think that’s good policy,” he said.

“We’re hoping all the political parties will approach this with an open mind, rather than set policy before the research and public dis-cussion has taken place.”

Olewiler said a short list of options to replace the Pattullo will go out to public consultations in mid-May.

She said Surrey and New Westminster municipal representa-tives have agreed to work together to try to find a mutually agreeable configuration of a new bridge, which New West-minster residents fear will increase local traffic.

Olewiler said the province also needs to be part of the Pattullo discussion to deal with routing of trucks and connections to provin-cial highways like the South Fraser Perimeter Road and Highway 1.

Those talks with government will have to wait until after the election, she said, but added it’s important to “make sure the big picture is looked at and this isn’t just our little bridge in the middle of it.”

Drivers are continuing to gas up less within Metro Vancouver, resulting in an ongoing drag on TransLink’s finances.

Fuel sold in the region dropped 2.1 per cent in 2012, according to TransLink’s year-end report.

The transportation authority’s actual fuel tax revenue was up by 7.5 per cent to more than $335 million, but the gain only happened because TransLink’s dedicated tax was raised two cents to 17 cents per litre in April of 2012.

“I think it’s a long-term trend,” TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said. “I don’t think we can count on fuel revenue being at the same level as in the past.”

Fuel tax sales in the region have declined an average of two per cent a year for the past five years.

“I don’t think it’s ever going to go back. Unless gasoline prices go back down below $1 a litre and people start going nuts again.”

Olewiler attributes the drop to drivers simply not driving as much, and not primarily from them seeking cheaper gas in the U.S. or Fraser Valley.

She said a trend of motorists to choose more

fuel-efficient vehicles is another factor.Transit use is also growing – TransLink reported

the number of transit trips grew nearly two per cent last year to 363 million.

Financial statements show TransLink ended 2012 with a small surplus, thanks to aggressive cost-cutting.

The transportation agency saved about $45 million more than it planned, much of it from run-ning leaner bus service.

Chief financial officer Cathy McLay said some of the extra money came from revenue gains.

TransLink’s bus route optimization – where ser-vice is strategically shifted from underused routes to ones where more riders can be carried – has helped pull in more fare revenue.

The bigger savings have helped TransLink forego its original plan – opposed by area mayors – to raise property taxes an average of $23 per home.

Customer satisfaction ratings are up and com-plaints are down, McLay said, in part due to fewer SkyTrain system stoppages or bus breakdowns.

TransLink took in 15 per cent more in tolls last year from drivers using the Golden Ears Bridge.

Bus service spending accounts for about half of TransLink’s $1.3-billion budget.

The HST is gone, � nally. And while Premier Christy Clark didn’t miss the opportunity to remind

voters that the harmonized sales tax had been bene� cial to the � lm indus-try, manufacturers and other businesses that received input tax credits, the

politicking rang a little hollow.� e fact is that the HST – good or bad – became more than a tax. Historically, it

will be seen as a symbol of everything that went wrong with the BC Liberal govern-ment since being granted its last mandate in 2009 – a symbol of everything B.C. governments, no matter the political stripe, should avoid in future.

It’s fact that former Premier Gordon Campbell went to the polls last election stating he was not considering adopting a harmonized sales tax. It’s also fact that within weeks of being elected, the BC Liberals were rolling out plans for the HST.

It was such a good thing for the province, voters were told (among the pluses, huge cash payments for provincial co� ers from the federal government), that the government had had a sudden change of heart.

A signi� cantly large segment of the electorate evidently didn’t believe the mes-sage – or the timeline. � ey concluded they had been deceived. And while B.C. Liberal loyals have muttered darkly ever since about “misinformation” spread by Bill Vander Zalm and the Stop HST movement, the latter clearly had their � ngers closer to the pulse of public feeling. Even some of the staunchest Liberals were forced to admit they had done a horrible job of selling the HST, especially a� er opponents gathered su� cient votes to call for a referendum.

By the time then-� nance minister Kevin Falcon, launched a “stick � gure” cam-paign to explain the common-sense virtues of the HST to the public, the majority of voters were having none of it.

� ere may have been many good reasons for an HST, but mishandling killed it, virtues, faults and all. And the writing is on the wall for whichever party forms the next government, should they choose to read it.

A mandate to govern is not a signal for hubris, or over-con� dence bordering on contempt for public opinion. It is not a blanket approval for anything a government decides to introduce. It is not an indication that democratic process is suspended, that questions won’t be asked, or that a docile public has gone to sleep for the next four years.

Let’s hope future governments learn the lesson.– Black Press

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the � rst to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline.

Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement pro-ducers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes.

And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should

continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all.

“We think there is an argu-ment to be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to bene� t from a carbon tax,” Sterk said.

� at means transit, and poten-tially retro� ts of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too.

� e Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion.

A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liq-ue� ed natural gas exports, which she doesn’t

believe materialize as international competi-tors develop.

� e Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian

gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 exist-ing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. � e U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Converting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast

industry blooming in northern B.C.� e o� cial Green Party position is to

place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed.

Current innovations such as reusing

municipal wastewater are ignored.� e Green platform also demands disclo-

sure of chemicals used in hydraulic fractur-ing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a self-ful� lling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m le� with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be sur� ng a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liber-als and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

Re: “Online predator now living in Surrey.”

I think that the main solution is to teach kids to not talk to strangers online. If we do not, children every-where will be in danger from people like Jeffrey Goddard.

Facebook is very useful for many things, such as homework, talking with friends, and planning events. But now people are using it to commit crimes. I think we should keep a closer watch on our children and make sure they do not talk to random strangers on Facebook and only friend people that they actually know.

Many people on Facebook have roughly 500 “friends” and more than half they do not know. I think Facebook and other social network users should make sure they don’t talk with someone they don’t know anything about. I think this should be taught in school as well as home so the kids know what a big threat this is and can be more careful.

Dustin Wong

Tighter restrictions

JeffRey GOddaRd has been convicted before, and now he’s been convicted again.

Accused of impersonation and luring children under 16 via the Internet, he now has been moved to Surrey, a city with more children than anywhere else in the area.

Although he is restricted from social networking sites, and from interacting with anyone 16 years of

age or under, I believe he shouldn’t be allowed to roam around, should be kept on tighter restrictions, and should be watched closely so the risk of re-offending will be greatly reduced.

In addition, kids should be taught the dangers that can be involved with the Internet, and to be more wary of strangers. As a citizen of Sur-rey, I myself would be concerned for the well-being of my child.

Laura Wong

Psychological test for criminals

i am commenting on the recent article about the online predator living in Surrey.

I think criminals shouldn’t be released unless they are not expected to re-offend.

If police suspect a criminal is going to re-offend, then why would they release the criminal anyway? They should still serve in jail until their sentence is over, but then be tested psychologically to see if they are likely to re-offend.

This would save money from arresting the criminals and putting them in jail again.

Instead of having two separate arrests, and two sentences, you could just keep them in jail for a few months more and make sure he/she doesn’t re-offend.

Even when they are let into soci-ety, there should still be restrictions.

Alex ChenSurrey

many B.C. residents smoke marijuana or have at least tried it once, and they shouldn’t be banned from the U.S. for admitting they did. Especially after Washington State residents voted to legalize marijuana.

Some people have only smoked pot once, and perhaps when they were young. I think that banning them from a country is a little harsh.

Smoking marijuana does more harm to the user than it does to others. The Americans should be more focused on banning guns and fixing their economy, not banning people for admitting to pot use. There are a lot of other things that are far more dangerous than marijuana.

Mental illness an election priority

Thank yOu for speaking out on the issue of mental illness in your newspaper. Mental illness surpasses cancer in its impact on family life, the workplace, and our communi-ties.

Clearly, we cannot afford to keep ignoring this problem. The government can cut prison costs by investing in people instead of jails. We have regressed by 170 years of using jails as a fall-back treatment. Politicians can do a great service for vulnerable people and their loved ones by making this issue a priority for their election platforms.

Re: “meTRO Vancouver should end garbage incineration: Study.”

Incinerators are heavy polluters that are not any better to the environment than garbage landfills. I agree with the report written by Marc Lee that notes that incineration has little benefits for waste reduction and lowers the quality of health and air. Electricity generated by burning garbage is not any better than using a coal- or oil-based genera-tor, seeing as they pollute just as much. Also, as stated in the report, burning garbage does not get

rid of it altogether, it just creates ash that must be landfilled.

Building another incinerator is just going to add to the pollution and the ash created. If another incinerator is built, there will be no need for making further efforts to recycle because there will be extra garbage capacity, and the objective for diverting 70 per cent of waste from landfills by 2015 will not be completed. Yes, we will have more electricity, but the pollution created offsets by far that benefit. If we do continue to reduce waste to

nothing, the incinerators will become useless and will have to be torn down and the new incinerator will be a waste of money. Increasing the recycling capacity is a far better option.

If the government doesn’t care about pollution from incinerators, then please at least think about the next generation and how the air quality will be for us.

Re: “end of Highway 91 traffic lights at 72 Avenue still far off.”

If the interchange construction project will not affect Burns Bog in any way at all, I say officials should start construction as soon as they can fund it.

The traffic lights at 72 Avenue and Highway 91 cause long back-ups, wasting many people’s precious time waiting for the light to change so they can get going. Highway 91 is busy enough without all the congestion caused by the traffic lights. It’s getting to be a dangerous problem as well, since southbound vehicles waiting to turn gets jammed far past the left-turn lanes.

It’s silly to not have a timeline for this project; an interchange at 72 Avenue is exactly what we need to save time, energy, and generally make life easier. Construction for the interchange will take about three years, so why not start now? Why wait another year to make the final decisions?

Motorists have been asking for an interchange for long enough.

Re: The leadeR’s series on mental illness.

Mental illness has always been seen as a crime issue instead of a health issue.

As reporter Kevin Diakiw has shown in his articles, families with members suffering from this had health issues before committing crimes. It is a shame that people who need help get incarcerated before they get the help, and when they get out, the proper medication is not available.

One out of three Canadian people in jail are mental health victims who are not being treated as patients, but are restrained as criminals. In my opinion, I believe that it would be less costly and more effective for society as a whole if we keep those suffering from mental illness medi-cated and controlled as opposed to incarcerated and controlled.

There should be a special hospital for those with mental illnesses, where they would get the support they need. Many will claim that doing that would be costly, but in the long run, it would save the govern-ment and us, the taxpayers, a lot of money.

I urge the government to consider these facts, and to make the better choice for all of us, so we can all live in a better future.

The B.C. NDP has kicked off its election campaign with a more detailed attack on the B.C. Liberal government’s pre-election budget, estimating it conceals a deficit of $790 million.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston presented his version of the budget in an effort to show it is not balanced, as claimed by Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

The NDP has signalled it will run deficits if it forms a govern-ment May 15. Ralston said the party will present its own fiscal plan this week, with taxes and spending aimed at keeping the deficit from rising beyond $800 million this year.

Ralston said further analysis of the February budget forecasts unrealistically low increases in spending, especially in the current fiscal year, where total spending is

budgeted to rise only 0.8 per cent.The average spending increase in

the past four years has been three per cent, and it is “not realistic” that it would suddenly be contained to less than one per cent, Ralston said.

In response, De Jong pointed to a new report by Moody’s Investors Service, praising B.C.’s “strong track record of meeting budget targets” and reaffirming its triple-A credit rating after studying the February budget.

“Which is more credible, is really the question,” de Jong said.

Ralston also questioned the $625 million budgeted for asset sales in the next two years, comparing it to the $381 million worth of provincial assets sold between 2001 and 2010. The finance ministry has only identified 16 of 100 properties up for sale, and none have actually been sold yet, he said.

De Jong presented the govern-ment’s long-promised balanced

budget in February, after a string of deficits triggered by the 2009 international financial crisis and the dismantling of the Harmonized Sales Tax. He credited public service unions for agreeing to minimal wage increases and other strict spending controls for the low projected increase in spending.

De Jong also borrowed from the NDP’s plans to raise revenues, increasing the income tax rate on large business from 10 per cent to 11 effective April 1. NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to increase it to 12 per cent, and to impose an unspecified increase on personal incomes above $150,000 a year.

De Jong announced in February that personal income taxes for those earning $150,000 or more would rise 2.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent starting next January, but the increase would be rolled back after two years.

all-candidates’ meet-ing for candidates competing to repre-sent Delta-South.

This year’s event will be held at Delta Secondary School’s Genesis Theatre, 5005 45 Ave., on Tuesday, April 16, from 6:45 to 9 p.m.

Independent MLA Vicki Huntington, B.C. Liberal candidate Bruce McDonald, and BC NDP candidate Nic Slater will be on hand to answer questions.

The event is in partnership with the Ladner Business Association and the Tsawwassen Busi-ness Improvement Association, and will be televised by Delta Cable.

• The Delta Cham-ber of Commerce will also be holding an all-candidates’ meeting for the Delta-South riding on Wednesday, May 1, from 7-9 p.m. at the Delta Town &

Country Inn, 6005 Hwy. 17.

• For residents in the Delta-North rid-ing, an all-candidates’ meeting is being held at the Delta Lion Public Houses, 11186 84 Ave., on Tuesday, April 30, from 7-9 p.m.

A Surrey-bASed real estate firm has been ordered to pay a former employee $9,000 for firing her because she was pregnant.

Kamalpreet Dhillon filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal after Planet Group terminated her employ-ment in May 2011.

Dhillon had been hired as a reception-ist for the com-pany’s branch office in Abbotsford in January 2011. The main office is in Surrey.

At a November hearing, Dhillon said she was fired two months after she told her employer she was pregnant. She claimed she suffered a great deal of stress and worried she’d lose her baby and couldn’t help support her family as her hus-band had also lost his job.

Planet Group denied the deci-sion to terminate Dhillon had any-thing to do with her being preg-

nant and everything to do with her substandard work performance. Her manager cited her arriving late for work and leaving early, as well as having to be reminded about various other tasks. The manager said she would have fired Dhillon

at the end of February, but the company’s own-ers wanted to give her more time.

In her written March 28 decision, tribunal member Diana Juricevic said the preg-nancy may not have been the sole reason for Dhillon being fired, but certainly played a role, justifying the the human rights com-plaint.

“While I am per-suaded that perfor-

mance issues were a factor in the decision to terminate her employ-ment, I am satisfied that Ms. Dhil-lon’s pregnancy was also a factor in her termination,” said Juricevic.

She awarded Dhillon $6,000 for injury to dignity and $3,000 for wage loss.

Police are trying to pull the plug on some gamer thieves who pulled off violent daytime robberies at two video game stores.

Last Sunday at about 6 p.m., robbers, believed to be armed with machetes, entered an EB Games store near Scott Road and 88 Avenue.

They tied up workers and stole an undisclosed amount of merchandise.

Two hours earlier, the pair had hit another EB Games in Pitt Meadows.

They burst into the store, tied up and bear-sprayed the workers, took some merchandise, and fled.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251. If you want to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-8477 (TIPS) or

leave a tip online at www.solvecrime.ca.

Milk, drugs, and gunshot wounds

The man walked into the North Surrey corner store, began screaming, and grabbed a jug of milk and went outside, pouring the milk onto himself.

Police were called to the 13100-block 104 Ave-nue store on March 28. The man, who police say was on drugs, said he’d been pepper-sprayed.

Ambulance crews arrived to treat the man, and discovered he’d been shot in the leg. He was taken to hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. 

Surrey RCMP are asking that anyone who may have seen the man heading towards the con-venience store to contact them at 604-599-0502.

A slice of railway history is com-ing to life at the foot of 176A Street, just south of Highway 10, where a faithful replica of the original B.C. Electric Railway station that acted as a bustling commuter passenger hub for decades is nearly complete.

For carpenter Cole Hilton, working on Cloverdale Station is a dream assignment.

“I wish I could get paid to do this all the time,” Hilton said last week. “It’s actual, traditional carpentry.”

He’s been installing wainscotting, laying down flooring and perform-ing other woodworking tasks that match the craftsmanship that went into the original, built around 1910 at the inception of the BCER’s Interurban passenger rail line.

“The actual work that’s being done is what would have been done when it was being built,” he said, pausing to cut a section of flooring to size. “That’s what’s neat.”

The Fraser Valley Heritage Rail-way Society (FVHRS) has spent the past decade working to return an Interurban car to the original line.

The society moved its operations from Sullivan Station to Cloverdale this past August, and launched a sponsorship campaign for Clover-dale Station, attracting 27 sponsors to the construction project, which broke ground in November.

The station has been constructed using the original plans, and, once complete in a few weeks, will be as close to the original as possible.

“The historical aspect of it is pretty huge,” Hilton said. “It’s not just building a train station, it’s actually building a train station that represents what was originally here. We’re not building a BC Transit bus stop.”

Cloverdale’s newest heritage attraction is nearly ready to greet the first modern-day passengers to ride the Interurban in 60 years.

Inside the station, a few conces-sions to modern safety standards have been necessary. Rather than a potbellied stove, heat is being provided by electric baseboard heaters, said FVHRS secretary Allen Aubert.

Modern sensibilities have been accommo-dated, too. A forebod-ing freight door was scrapped in favour of another set of win-dows. And two tidy brick chimneys on the roof are accurate, but non-functioning. But otherwise, everything from the windows, doors, hinges and brackets right down to the paint colours, cream and red, are what they would have looked like in the original.

“The paint colours have all been matched to their true, historic colours,” Aubert said.

As with all of the construction and design components,

the cost of the paint has been covered by a project sponsor. Twenty-seven spon-

sors have now climbed on board the Clover-dale Station project, providing materials,

cash or labour.Their generosity

has made it possible to add the so-called extras, from the cedar shingles and wooden siding to the single-hung sash windows, which are custom-made, double-glazed, and come courtesy of BC Hydro.

Kwantlen Poly-technic University’s school of horticulture recently offered to design and install landscaping, the final piece of the puzzle.

Inside, the sta-tion has two waiting rooms. One will be used as an overflow waiting area for pas-sengers this summer, and in the winter, it will be used for heri-tage programming. The FVHRS is part-nering with the Surrey Museum to create displays.

The ticket wicket windows offer a 180-degree view onto the track, a spur line that joins the Southern Railway.

In the station’s hey-day, there was a steam train line along 176 Street in Cloverdale, Aubert says.

“This town had three major rail lines. This wasn’t a rodeo town,” he smiled. “This was a railway town.”

On June 22, the society will officially launch limited pas-senger service, running hourly, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends to Thanksgiving. The trip from Cloverdale to Sul-livan Station and return will last approximately 30 minutes.

More than 100 new volunteers are being trained to work as conductors, operators, ticket masters and maintenance crew.

The June launch is a month later than planned. There are still a few technical glitches to work out, Aubert said.

The project is in partnership with the City of Surrey and the Southern Railway of B.C., with the assistance of BC Hydro. For more information or to vol-unteer, visit fvhrs.org

Andrew Hammond is one step closer to realizing a dream of playing in the National Hockey League.

And though it’s a dream shared by nearly every youngster who grows up playing hockey in Can-ada, the 25-year-old Surrey native admits now – just days after signing with the Ottawa Senators – that it wasn’t a dream he spent much time considering during his days tend-ing goal in the BC Hockey League (BCHL).

“It wasn’t something I thought about about in the BCHL, because at the time I was more focused on securing a scholarship,” Hammond said from Bingham-ton, N.Y., where

he was setting in with the Senators’ American Hockey League team.

“When I was a kid, it was always something you dream of, but then you progress through the different levels of hockey (and) start realizing it’s a very real possibility.”

Last month, Hammond wrapped up his senior year at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Senators.

“The whole experience has been great, but I think the best part was calling my parents, brother and sister,” he said.

“All of them have always been really supportive and proud of me but to tell them what was happening was really special.”

The Earl Marriott Secondary grad is likely a familiar name to those who follow the BC Hockey League – after beginning his junior-hockey career with the Westside Warriors, he played 32 games with

the Surrey Eagles in 2007-08 before being shipped to Vernon, where he helped lead the Vipers to a RBC Cup national championship – the first for the team in 18 years – before heading to the NCAA with Bowling Green.

“Winning the Royal Bank Cup is still my best memory,” said Ham-mond, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association alum.

“Signing with Ottawa is very exciting, but I still haven’t accom-plished anything. My goal is to play in the NHL and all this does is give me an opportunity to get closer to

that goal.”Hammond came to the atten-

tion to the Senators after a strong four-year NCAA career; this past season he led the team into the second round of the playoffs, and in 2011/’12, he played in every one of his team’s 44 games.

“Ottawa was a team that had come up a few times when talking to my agent – I had known they had come out to watch me this year – but our season ended (March 23) and I didn’t really know what my options would be the next morning,” Hammond explained.

“Then my agent called me and told me Ottawa had an offer on the table.”

Hammond’s agent told him he expected a few other offers to roll in too, but that Ottawa’s was likely going to be the best choice. Plus, contract details aside, playing for a Canadian team was also a dream for the Surrey netminder.

“It seemed like a great fit, and they were open to letting me finish school and get my degree, which was one of the most important things for me,” said Hammond, who will return to Bowling Green State’s

campus in mid-April to complete his final classes.

Returning to school to tie up loose ends will also give Hammond the chance to reflect on a college career that really has gone from one extreme – not winning a single game as a freshman; to the other – going pro.

“My freshman year was difficult,” he said. “I felt like I had some really good games, but it never seemed to go my way.

“Looking back, that adversity was great for me. It has driven me to keep working harder every year.”

Surrey united will attempt to repeat a rare

double in Provincial Cup play.

The soccer club won both the Men’s A and

Women’s A champion-ships last spring, send-ing both squads to the national championships

last October.The Surrey United

women’s team will be seeking a 10th consecu-tive provincial champi-onship, and are again the favourites this season.

United is seeded first in the 12-team knockout playoff, and will receive a bye through the first round. They will play at home in a quarterfinal contest the weekend of April 20-21.

United finished sec-ond in the Metro Wom-en’s Soccer League’s Premier A division with a 10-1-2 (won-tied-lost) record.

The BC Soccer Asso-ciation announced the draw for their provincial championship com-petitions last Tuesday morning (April 2), and in the 16-team Men’s A group, the Delta United Hurricanes earned the number-two seed.

The first round will be played April 13-14, and Delta will host Vancouver Metro Soc-cer League (VMSL) rivals West Van FC. The Hurricanes were sixth in the VMSL with a 9-6-7

record, and won the Imperial Cup.

The defending cham-pion Surrey Firefighters United will travel to the provincial capital

to face the Saanich Fusion of the Vancouver Island Soccer League. The Firefighters were eliminated in the quar-terfinal round of the

Imperial Cup by Delta, and placed third in the VMSL Premier Division with a 12-1-9 mark.

ICST Pegasus, the Provincial Cup cham-pions in 2011, will be at home against Estrella de Chile of Burnaby. Pegasus was a point behind Surrey in the Premier Division stand-ings at 10-6-6, and were also eliminated from the Imperial Cup by the Hurricanes, losing on penalty kicks in the round-of-16.

The finals in all divi-sions of Provincial Cup play will be on May 11 at Bear Mountain Stadium in Victoria, and will be hosted by the Vancouver Island Soccer League and Lower Island Wom-en’s Soccer Association.

Soccer squads set for Provincial Cup playSurrey United won both men’s and women’s competitions a year ago

The DelTa Sport Council and Delta Kiwanis Club are once again team-ing up to support a local athlete aspiring to make a national team with a $1,000 award to help pay for their training.

Past recipients of the Kiwanis Delta Memorial Sports Award include Olympian Mark Pearson (field hockey), Kate Murie (women’s ice hockey), Tanya McLean (softball), Spencer Simon (fencing), Eric Van Niekerk (water polo), Cecylia Witkowski (figure skating), Karyn Jewell (swim-ming), Joe Dart (rowing), Sara McManus (field hockey), Sam Clare (lacrosse).

In 2012, it was given to Danielle Kisser (para-swimming), Jonathon Kraft (swimming), and Alex Farqu-harson (gymnastics), each of whom have goals of competing in the 2016 Rio Summer Games.

“Each of these athletes have been pursuing his/her sport for many years with the hope of compet-ing internationally,” said Carlene Lewall, marketing director for Delta Gymnastics. “Delta Sport

Council truly believes in our local athletes and wants to help them to aspire to reach their goals, and one way we can do this is by helping them financially.”

Canadian athletes have to pay for their own travel costs even when representing Canada. It’s also difficult for sports groups to get financial support, because unlike many non-profit organizations,

local and provincial sports cannot apply for charitable status and so are unable to give tax receipts.

“When an ath-lete is selected to represent Canada they receive some financial support from the federal gov-ernment, but those

who are still aspiring to be the top in their sport may be unable to afford not only their training, but also the international travel that is required,” said Lewall. “Besides the natural physical ability an athlete needs to excel, they also need good coaching, good facilities, good equipment, and the support of fam-ily and community.”

To apply for the award, contact Lewall at [email protected] or phone 604-943-0460 for an application.
