This complaint went in this pm. Also a copy to the Association lawyer via email and to OAHI office for disbursement and action.
This is so sad that an association like OAHI has to treat it members with so much distane .
I just had a look at who is looking at the NACHI site
Reload this Page](http://www.nachi.org/forum/online.php?&page=5) 21 members and 66 guests
Most users ever online was 323, 5/6/06 at 9:30 PM.
I wonder how many of the 66 guests are OAHI/CAHPI members .
This seems to be the only place they get the truth .
So glad you are showing OAHI that they should try and be truthfull and follow
their own rules and the Rules of the Canadian Government

are just too nervious that if they show support they too would be chastised .

**Article 17
Conflict Of Interest Guidelines For Board of Directors and Committee Members
**1. Members of the Board of Directors, officers, and Committee members shall act in good faith towards all members and, in
the performance of their duties, shall place the interests of the Association before their personal and business interests. They
shall,
(a) not use any information gained by their office for personal or business advantage if such information is not generally
available to other members.
(b) promptly disclose to the Board of Directors any interest they have which might be construed as prejudicial in any way
to their decisions or actions.
© refrain from participating in any discussion, chairing a meeting, and voting on any matter which directly impacts on their own, business or related interests.
- The board shall refer suspected abuses of these guidelines to the Discipline and Professional Practices Committee.
Gee I guess Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Quackenbush have not realized they have a conflict. Lets see Mr. Lloyd VP and DPPC Chair is making statements on a discussion board that clearly indicate he is bias, and Mr. Quackenbush PR Committee Chair and Director is clearly bias in his actions because he and his committee can’t seem to find the proper policy sections to support their suspension. I would also question the motives of their actions based on members who make up the PR committee who are competitors of mine.
People who have things to hide and can’t provide proper answers have something to hide. Too bad because it reflects badly on the profession.
John,
Everyone knows OAHI members come here to read the goings on within OAHI, because OAHI does not allow free thought, expression, or freedom of association.
The latest laugh is the VP trying to explain why members must go to HQ to see the minutes, financial records etc, when right in the by-law it says reports are to issued to the members quarterly. They sure don’t like having to explain why they are breaking the by-laws particularly when they as a board haven’t petitioned the membership to change them. Professional bodies don’t conduct their administrative affairs in this manner. Breaking he by-laws knowingly is contempt for the office they hold and the trust expected of them from the public and the members. If they treat members this way how are they treating members of the public when they complain about an OAHI inspector?
Hay Ray I see the top OAHI spy is posting stuff from this site on to their’s again.So much for the rules,do you think he will be suspended,not likely.
Thanks Rob,
I am just reading the CAFE now. I can’t believe they allow Mr. Bottoms to continually post considering he has threatened people, defamed, slandered, libelled, sent email viruses, and made other unsavory unfounded allegations on the CANUCK list.
I guess Dave Bottoms cannot make it as an inspector so he has now turned to report writing to supplement his income.
It is also rather strange that he can advertise his personal wares on the CAFE because I believe the Forum rules forbid promotion of wares by inspectors.
It is even stranger how Dave never seems to focus on financial irregularities or the breaking of the by-laws. I don’t think he is too swift on the uptake of information. But when you are the spokesperson and chief enforcer for OAHI anything goes! Over 8 years as an Associate and still can’t make it.

[ ATTENTION INSPECTION REPORTING SOFTWARE USERS:
Custom boilerplate library and other materials for sale
Hey Gang,
Anyone who owns inspection reporting software knows what a pain it is modifying existing boilerplates and adding new ones to suit your region. Typically, it takes months, if not years, to get your software to a point where you’ve got nearly every possible circumstance covered, in a way that best protects you from unhappy clients and their hungry Lawyers.
I’ve been working on my boilerplate library for years now. I finally finished it last spring and am now offering it for sale to anyone who is interested. The copyright will remain with me, so you will be buying the rights to use it for your own inspection business. You will not have permission to resell the product to other inspectors.
Just so y’all know, I am not getting into the business of selling boilerplates or software. This is a limited time offer. If you are interested, DO NOT reply to the forum, instead, reply to me privately at dave@homeinspector.ca
DEFECT BOILERPLATES: They are saved in separate MS Word documents. Each page has around 10 boilerplates, which begin around page three. So, for instance, the structural section has 40 pages, of which four pages cover descriptions and limitations, and 36 pages cover defects. 36 pages x approximately 10 defects per page equals 360 common defects. And because these defect boilerplates are in MS Word, anyone can copy them into their own software. You do not need to run my software to make use of the library. The following list includes the number of pages for each section.
Structural Components - 40 pages
Roofing - 32 pages
Exterior - 45 pages
Electrical - 41 pages
Heating - 34 pages
Cooling & Heat Pumps - 18 pages
Plumbing - 42 pages
Insulation & Ventilation - 28 pages

These article are saved as PDFs from various internet sites. The idea is that upon loading the CD, a navigation page would open automatically that would give access to all the articles. I haven’t finished the navigation page, but the hard part is done – the collection and cataloguing of the articles. You’d have to get your computer guy to finish it. Or use my guy. I’ve named/arranged the articles based on his recommendation, in order to make his job easier and less expensive for me. This CD would make an excellent hand-out to Realtors and clients alike.

Roy Cooke A Happy NACHI member
You are right Ray section 7 10 3e of the cafe rules,the posting of advertising or promoting any product or service is not permitted
I also see Linda Lalich the CAFE forum administrator who is being paid handsomely by OAHI for her non work on the CAFE to enforce BOD/PR committee dictates really has no redeeming qualities but has to rely on directives to accomplish her task and be compensated for it. Quite frankly she has no business censoring OAHI related business discussions on the CAFE, she is not a member. Ask the BOD how much Ms. Lalich is being compensated with Membership money and a former employee of one of the Directors?
I see Lynda has told Dave Bottoms not to file complaints against me on the CAFE. Funny I got suspended, Dave Bottoms as usual is allowed to do anything say anything with no reprecussions. Sure is strange how they do not follow thier own rules.
I think the whole BOD should tender their resignations, along with the various Committee chairs. An outside overseer should be brought in and an election called that is overseen by outside independent auditors. There is no assurance the affairs of the Association are being run properly, and the abuse of power is well documented.
Stay tuned for more revealing information on how OAHI does not follow its own rules. 
Still no reply to my July 6th letter!

**Re: Suspension from the OAHI CAFE
Dear Committee:
I see that equality is absent from decisions being made and there is the appearance that the Committee has acted with reasonable apprehension of bias. It is also readily apparent that the Committee is able to act with impunity and to manipulate the rules at their discretion, contrary to the rules and to due process as stated in the by-laws.
As you can see below I have been suspended while Mr. Bottoms apparently is still able to post. Under the circumstances it appears Mr. Bottoms posts are approved and endorsed by the Forum Committee and Ms. Lalich. It also appears the Forum Committee has no intention of meeting out its rules in a fair and equal manner.
I also have concerns that these emails are not being responded to or acted on because of the obvious indifference’s and the make up of the Forum Committee. It is reassuring to see a self regulating body acting outside of its policies and mandate as afforded under the by-laws and enacting legislation.
Thank you.

Dear Committee:
Could you please provide the relevant sections of the Web Policy of which I am in breach of please? There is nothing in the policy restricting the right of members from re-posting on any other discussion board those of which are posted on the CAFE. As a matter of fact in the Web Policy it states succinctly OAHI cannot guarantee the posts will be secure or not forwarded, et ceteras. It does not state in the rules that such activity is restricted or that one can be suspended for same. Nor does it appear I am in breach of the other relevant sections of the Web Policy. Further, please explain what section(s) of the OAHI bylaw or PR158 have been violated so that I might properly react to this seemingly unilateral decision made without any input whatsoever from me.
Can you tell me who serves on the Forum Committee please?
Could you please provide me with a copy of the posts in questions please?
Have other posters in this matter on the CAFE been similarly suspended?
Can you please tell me how a 90 day suspension was decided on given that there is nothing in the by-laws permitting suspension, nor empowering anyone but the DPPC to enact discipline as per the by-laws?
Why is there no email [size=3]contact address [/size]for Ms. Lalich considering she is an employee and forum administrator? This is most unusual for a discussion forum not to have a contact on the forum board.
Can you please explain to me why my Constitutional rights have been infringed on? After all OAHI is legislated under the provincial government as a self regulating body as per PR 158.
If the Forum committee can not substantiate its claims and what appears to be a lack of due process and impartiality in this matter and apprehension of bias, I request that my access to the CAFE be immediately reinstated.
A reply at your earliest convenience is [size=3]hereby respectfully [/size]requested.
I have sought legal counsel and trust my position is clear in this matter.

[/INDENT][/INDENT]Ray this is just unreal you can not post OAHI material to this site but Mr. Bottoms is allowed to post stuff from our site to theirs.In all fairness we should close our site to Mr. Bottoms.
Rob,
I have to caution you, anything you say or post will be used against you by OAHI.
OAHI is sinking in its own filth. It has destroyed any chance it had of successfully defending any and all actions against me. The proof is overwhelming of corruption and abuse of power.
BTW have you seen the quarterly reports as required under the by-law?
I asked on the OAHI CAFE forum where I could go see the records, but to no avail. I guess they don’t want to explain the lack of accounting which they are obligated to provide.
I think Dave Bottoms is helping NACHI by sending OAHI members here so that they can read the truth. You can’t get the truth at OAHI but you can get it here.
Thanks for speaking up that takes guts.
No problem Ray and thanks.Unless we speak up the problems will not be fixed and will only get worse.
Just to prove some in OAHI have special status, and OAHI knowingly is condoning it.
Very strange how a associate member who has utter threats, is able to keep on going like the Energizer Battery!
Also peculiar is the fact that when it comes time to file a complaint he backs away. Do you suppose thats because he has no evidence and that the by-laws do not back up his often repeated claims?

Gerry,
These rules seem to be in conflict with the by-laws, perhaps you could clarify them, and how decisions are made with no right of appeal. This runs contrary to the afforded rights in the by-laws and I believe members are entitled to appeal such wide latitude in directives that are not based or supported via the by-laws.

Thank you, Ms Lalich, will do.
With all due respect:
Actually, after sleeping on it, I don’t think I will make that complaint after all. The people to whom I’d be complaining are on this forum and can see for themselves that the mole is breaking the rules. They shouldn’t need me to tell them what they already know in order to take action. To suggest one must file a complaint first implies that the rules only come into play if someone lodges a complaint, otherwise it’s a free-for-all.
The person has broken the rules. I know it, you know it and the people who enforce the rules know it. Feel free to take action if you wish, or feel free to do nothing. Whatever you think is in the best interests of the members who use this private forum. Far be it from me to tell you or anyone how to do your job.
Again, no disrespect intended, just calling it like it is. Your mileage may vary.

Am I missing something .
You did send a letter to OAHI did you not .
Have they answered your letter.
How can they suspend you with out answering your complaint.
I think OAHI could be opening them selves up for some difficulty of not following proper procedures.
This gets more interesting every day.
I Wonder what the membership thinks of this fiasco
Roy Cooke.
Oh I have sent several letters to OAHI. They never reply. The OAHI lawyer has also been sent copies. He knows whats going on. I wonder what he would have to say about the by-laws which state reports to be filed with the members quarterly?
I wonder what the OAHI lawyer would say about the claimed abuses I have supposedly committed that are not defined in the by-laws?
I know the OAHI lawyer charges a fee as part of his service for every email or letter he receives from members of OAHI as he is obligated to read them. I am not sure he is obligated to ensure OAHI is in compliance, I think he is, but his actions are moot. The lawyer Mr. Segal was very clear on proper protocol and following due process with Rudolf Reusse and me when we were Discipline Chair. I still have that letter from the lawyer outlining how OAHI is to proceed. The problem is there are inconsistencies currenlty with his written directives.
Raymond You are the greatest .
I think you have given the OAHI BOD the rope and they have now hung them selves .
They have backed them selves into a corner and there is no escape.
I would not be the least bit surprised to see the complete OAHI BOD resign in mass by Jan 1 2007.
There is no way they will Be able to stand up in court and explain the way they have treated you and other members.
They have completely ignored the OAHI bylaws and when a full audit of the books comes to be there just could be jail time for some .
It is so unfortunate that it must come to this but like a sliver of wood in your hand it must come out and the sooner the better.
Remember Ray you have me and many others who will give you the support required in court.
I expect OAHI will not have to pay their lawyers fees when the proof comes out on the stand.
I do not expect that any will wish to face a perjury charge .
Gee I love it when things fall into place .
Roy Cooke CMI,RHI,CHI, OAHI-ON
I want to know where the money is. No one has seen the books in sometime, nor minutes. Thank God I only paid $50 over the last two years not like some who have paid the admission fee of $400. I would sure be concerned considering OAHI hasn’t any benefits unlike NACHI and its superior support.
The fact remains OAHI is in breach of its provincial charter by not providing quarterly reports. It is clear the entire BOD is negligent and should resign, and given the overly whelming evidence of abuse of power, lack of due process, illegal fine collection, bias, and vexhatious acts due to animosities.
Roy it sounds like OAHI is treating me just like they treated you. Spend the memberships money because of animosities to hell with the by-laws. Egos seem to be getting the better of management.
No one in Ontario can expect fair treatment from OAHI again based on overwhelming evidence, they keep providing.
Roy it pays to have good legal advice.
