by Sheila Reynolds SIX YEARS after the execution of
six people in a Surrey apartment building, one of three accused murderers currently on trial in the so-called Surrey Six case has entered a guilty plea. On Thursday afternoon in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder Corey Lal. Lal was shot to death in the Balmoral Tower apartment in North Surrey on Oct. 19, 2007, along with five other men: his brother Michael, Ryan Bartolomeo, Edward Narong, Edward Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan. Chris Mohan Le was also facing a first-degree murder charge for Corey Lal’s death, which is expected to be stayed. A ban was also ordered on any photos, depictions or descriptions of Le – the reason for which cannot be reported. Le, Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston have been on trial since late September. The trial was adjourned abruptly Nov. 25 after Le’s intention See SURREY SIX / Page 3

Surrey Six: Two men on trial From page 1 to plead guilty was revealed to the court. Those proceedings, however, were covered by an interim publication ban until he formally entered his plea. Haevischer and Johnston are charged with six counts each of firstdegree murder and one count apiece of conspiracy to murder Corey Lal. The Crown contends Le and fellow accused gangster Jamie Bacon were the leaders of the Red Scorpion gang and ordered the murder of Corey Lal due to a drug turf dispute. It’s alleged Haevischer, Johnston and another man who can only be identified as Person X went to the Balmoral Apartment building intending to kill Corey Lal, and shot the others to death to ensure there were no witnesses. The court has seen and heard gruesome details of their executionstyle murders in suite 1505. The victims were found lying in rows on the floor of the apartment with hoods covering their heads. Each suffered at Eileen Mohan least two gunshot wounds. While four of the victims were alleged drug dealers, Mohan was an innocent resident of a neighbouring suite on the 15th floor and Schellenberg was a gas fitter repairing fireplaces in the highrise. Christopher’s mother Eileen, who saved her holiday time for the past five years so she can attend the lengthy trial, said hearing Le’s admission was bittersweet. “It was hard to listen to his guilty plea because it stole my son’s life.” Le’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 13. Another man has already pleaded guilty in the case, and Bacon is being tried separately at a later, undetermined date. The trial of Haevischer and Johnston continued Monday. See surreyleader.com for the latest updates.

Court: Sentencing hearing continues Dec. 6 From Page 1
Akonyu Akolo
While a sentence of nine to 12 months of community service is an option, she said, the defendant needs to work and provide for his family and the longer sentence would keep Akolo from doing so. Akolo, who was fired in 2010, was criminally charged in 2011 after a lengthy police investigation. He originally faced five charges – bribing an agent, corrupt municipal official, breach of trust by a public officer, giving false account to deceive principal, and fraudulent concealment. Akolo was in charge of area planning and development for South Surrey. He had worked for the city for 17 years. A developer he approached reported him to the city and to the police on April 2010. The court heard Akolo offered to take $30,000 for what he called “professional consulting services” from the developer, in
exchange for not cashing cheques worth $65,000 of fees to the city. Currie said Akolo claimed he had forgotten about the cheques and didn’t deposit them after the development was approved because he feared for his job if his mistake was noticed. During their investigation, police found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the developer or any other Surrey staffers. Akolo initially denied all the allegations. The City of Surrey also has a civil lawsuit against Akolo over missing funds. In a suit filed in April 2010, the city claimed unnamed developers acted in conspiracy with Akolo to bilk the city out of various development fees. The city also accused Akolo of using the funds he took to purchase his home in North Delta. Those allegations have yet to be proven in court. The sentencing hearing will continue on Dec. 6. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Heroin bust nabs four International case has Surrey-White Rock connections Black Press FOUR CANADIAN residents
arrested last week on drugsmuggling charges in Melbourne have ties to the Surrey/White Rock area. Tyrell Brown, 20, Jason Singh, 21, Madison Trim, 19, and an unnamed 17-year-old were arrested and accused of trying to import 17 kilograms of heroin into Melbourne. The maximum penalty for heroin smuggling is life imprisonment, according to police. Brown’s Facebook page lists Elgin Park Secondary in his
school history while Singh, a Dutch national, attended Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. On a Nov. 16 Facebook post that has since been deleted, Trim writes: “bye bye thailand youve been very good to us, we will be back.” Trim is believed to have ran in the same circles as Singh and Brown, while the 17-yearold (who cannot be identified because of her age) reportedly attended school in South Surrey. According to a news release from the Australian Federal Police, each of the four accused was travelling with two bags
of luggage on a Nov. 18 flight from China. After arriving at Melbourne Airport, they were selected by customs officers for a baggage examination. During the examination, customs officers noticed the eight bags felt unusually heavy when emptied, and, following an X-ray of the luggage, it was revealed that a white powder was built into the bottom of each bag, according to police. The three adults’ next court date is Feb. 18 2014. The minor is expected to appear at a Children’s Court hearing.

Jail time for dial-a-doper Sanjeel Kumar caught with cocaine and heroin in 2011 by Sheila Reynolds A MAN who pleaded guilty to drug possession and
trafficking in Surrey more than two years ago has been sentenced to six months in jail. Sanjeel Kumar sold $80 worth of cocaine to an undercover police officer in June 2011. Once arrested, a search revealed he also had 1.8 grams of heroin in his socks, divided into 18 packets of 0.1 grams each. A further $440 worth of cocaine was found on him as well. During the search, Kumar’s cellphone rang three times and when police intercepted the calls, it was determined they were from customers looking to buy drugs. At the time of his arrest, according to the sentencing decision posted online Thursday, Kumar was on probation for a prior drug possession offence. Court documents say Kumar, 22, was not an addict, but a casual user of cocaine. The Crown was seeking a nine-month prison sentence, while defence wanted a 12-month conditional sentence in lieu of jail time. Justice Selwyn Romilly said that while such
offences are eligible for conditional sentence orders under certain circumstances, he didn’t feel Kumar’s situation fit the bill. “In this case, there is insufficient evidence in support of an assertion that the accused has addiction problems or that there is a need for treatment,” said Romilly. “The accused’s involvement in the offences was purely for financial gain. In my view, this is an aggravating factor. For such individuals, courts must place primary emphasis on general deterrence.”

CROSS-BORDER SHOPPING
Worth staying home
RAESIDE
M
any Canadians – including Surrey and North Delta residents – voted with their feet last week and headed south on Black Friday in hopes of finding bargains on electronics, appliances, apparel and food. This trek is part of a general trend of Canadians to cross-border shop year round. Our dollar’s value has stayed relatively high, and although the price spread is just 10 per cent – not a huge difference given the time spent in border line-ups and the cost of gas – the general impression is that U.S. retailers do a better job in keeping prices low. The truth is more complicated as retailers, such as London Drugs, have been adapting to consumer demand, offering competitive deals and extended shopping hours to keep shoppers at home. As well, the entry of U.S.-based Walmart and Target have forced Canadian retailers to sharpen their pencils. But Canadian retailers can’t take all the blame for the price differences. In fact, Canada’s relative small consumer market compared to the U.S. contributes to higher pricing overall. For one thing, foreign suppliers have historically charged more for their product, knowing that Canadian consumers will still pay the higher price, and because Canada is a more costly market to service. Transportation costs, distribution costs, (somewhat) higher labour costs, tariffs and fees, as well as higher rent and real estate costs all add to the mark-up Canadians pay on goods. It’s a fact of life in a country with a smaller population that consumer goods will be more expensive. But should retailers ignore the desire of Canadians to get more for their money? Absolutely not. They need to take some responsibility for the problem of crossborder shopping and do what they can to keep customers at home – whether it be through enhanced customer service, warranty servicing or more competitive pricing. At the same time, Canadian consumers shouldn’t be let off the hook. They need to know that circulating their dollar in their home community keeps themselves and their neighbours employed, and thus benefits local economies. Dollars spent in Canada will also ensure that we continue to enjoy health care, a strong social safety net and many other benefits. With another blowout shopping frenzy on the horizon – Boxing Day – this is worth considering. When it comes to quality of life, you get what you pay for. – Black Press

ast week I described the inevitable demise of B.C.’s “carbon neutral government” scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value. It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time. AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns, made redundant by new vehicle technology and the financial need to save fuel. Public sector carbon offsets will suffer the same fate, growing as a political liability as their effectiveness declines. All this is separate from B.C.’s carbon tax and greenhouse gas reduction program, another environmental trial balloon that is sinking back to Earth. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up substantially by 2020. New liquefied natural gas export proposals

evolving. There are regularly changes to the international standards for accounting for these things and reporting them. And certainly the ability for one jurisdiction to impact positively on the GHG emissions of another, we think is appropriately considered in how one accounts for these things.” Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG import facility in China that could be a key export destination. Globe and Mail China correspondent Nathan Vanderklippe covered the premier’s visit. He reports that the gas being imported at Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal. It’s being used in addition to coal in peak demand periods. Clark also visited Japan, another key customer for LNG. The whole world knows why Japan needs new energy sources. It needs to replace production from its disaster-tainted nuclear facilities. Will B.C. LNG be part of the solution to human-induced climate change? On the evidence so far, the answer is no.

‘Old Betsy’ Crappy calculations Not seeing the logic has run her course RE: “METRO Vancouver redraws
I AM writing in response to The
Leader’s Nov. 19 article, “AirCare defenders are hoping for a reprieve.” My obligation as a Metro Vancouver motorist should not include monetarily supporting an AirCare program that has outlived its effectiveness. If the cost of this program was borne by TransLink or the provincial government and not by the motorists of Metro Vancouver, this program would have been phased out in 2010. The article states that as of 2010, the failure rate at AirCare was 22.3 per cent for pre-1995 vehicles and 7.4 per cent for 1995-2003 vehicles as newer vehicles are exempt. These figures only represent the percentage of the total vehicles for those years that went through AirCare. Taking these percentages and factoring them into the total vehicles in Metro Vancouver, the impact to our environment from these vehicles does not warrant the continuation of AirCare for light vehicles. Unlike Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters, when I go to other areas without AirCare, I do not see all these vehicles with billowing smoke coming out of them, but then I am not a politician in support of the AirCare program. Walters’ other comment on how protected the Lower Mainland is with AirCare leaves us with the impression that without AirCare we will become clouded in pollution. Not true. The commuting motorist is creating the protection in the Lower Mainland through necessity. We have a higher concentration of newer vehicles in the Lower Mainland than in other areas as most of us have to spend hours commuting to and from work. These newer vehicles are more reliable, and fuel and emission efficient. When you have a long commute to work every day, “Old Betsy” just won’t do. What we do have in common with other areas is the black toxic diesel particulate belching out of big trucks. I reside along the freeway and every year I have to wash down the exterior of my home because of the black toxic particulate that is left on my house from these big trucks. Metro Vancouver directors should quit whining about the end of AirCare for light vehicles and concentrate more of their efforts on the real culprit and a bigger threat to our environment in Metro Vancouver – heavy trucks.

sewage fee formula ahead of soaring costs.” An open letter to our friends on the North Shore and the City of Vancouver: If I have to pay to cross a bridge to go to work and you don’t want to share in the cost of new infrastructure, then I promise not to use your sewer

I WANTED to bring to your attention the ridiculous parking situation
at the Surrey Eye Care Centre building alongside the new megalithic Surrey City Hall. I had an appointment with one of the specialists located within the building. The parking lot that used to be beside the building has gone. In its place is a manicured lawn and a tiled walkway. While I have no objection to the aesthetic appearance of the new addition, surely the parking lot could have been left until the city hall had finished construction. I wonder if the powers that be had thought of the inconvenience to patients they were causing.

Grow economy with clean energy I CAN’T blame people for tuning
CBC PHOTO
A letter writer argues that Canada needs to wean itself off of oil and gas and increase the use of clean technology such as solar, water and wind power.
out messages that continually say “no, no, no” to tar sands and pipelines. I think the reason might be that they are not hearing the alternative solutions and think people who oppose the tar sands are not for Canada’s prosperity. Nothing could be further from the truth. The belief that we can only have prosperity and jobs from the oil industry is ridiculous. Canada can create a national solution to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while growing our economy and creating jobs by integrating clean technology of solar, wind, and water power, geothermal energy and more. It is possible, but will take the time and will of Canadians to try something new and innovative. The largest source of emissions comes from tar sands so it makes sense that to reduce emissions we would need to slow down the tar sands process. We could then begin to add alternative sustainable renewable clean energy sources and offer new jobs, too. Canada’s oil and gas sector makes up six per cent of the country’s GDP. If it were to disappear, the hit to the Canadian economy would be profound. Canada needs to wean itself off of oil and gas. Clean technology offers tremendous potential to help. Diane Matier, Surrey
Demand a proper assessment of coal port RE: FRASER Surrey Docks’ coal
port expansion proposal. At a recent Delta council meeting, Coun. Jeannie Kanakas stood up and said what was on the mind of those in attendance: We already have 33 million tons of coal coming into Delta, and this would be new coal, without much benefit (25 jobs),
coming into an area of significant environmental significance – as well as a residential area to boot. While the current coal goes to Westshore, where virtually no one except Tsawwassen First Nation members live nearby, the same can not be said for Fraser Surrey Docks. Internationally recognized
standards demand a proper environmental impact assessment to include details on how the expansion would impact health. That has to happen for any credibility in the decision to result. A decision having such health magnitude must include a look at the full health implications. Otherwise the public will feel virtu-
ally bamboozled by our government once again. Get involved and write your thoughts to realporthearings.org Otherwise you are left out. Port Metro Vancouver allows comments until Dec. 17. Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey
Wood can’t hold a candle to vehicles I AM writing in response to the letter, “More
pollution prevention is needed,” written by Brie Oishi from Port Coquitlam. Ms. Oishi worries about the effects wood burning emissions, particularly from fireplaces, will have on the community’s health. Furthermore, she states that exposure to these emissions could lead to heart attacks, respiratory disease, and strokes. Wood-burning fireplaces are much less common than they once were. The effects of
such a small amount of these fireplaces will not have such a significant impact on the environment in the same way car emissions do, for example. In addition, the effects of cigarette smoke are proven to cause many health issues with the substances they contain, such as arsenic, and tar. Clearly there are many other toxins in the air already which have similar and possibly more negative results on one’s health than a small amount of carbon dioxide from
burning wood in a fireplace. There are many factors which can lead to one developing cancer, and these are what should be focused on in future research. Furthermore, the combination of second-hand smoke and wood-burning emissions will not lead to cancer in every case. Almost every neighbourhood is already polluted with car emissions, which is a much greater issue.

buy cheap gas and avoid paying fuel tax to TransLink, as well as B.C.’s carbon tax, would have less reason to do so. The Vancouver transportation planner wasn’t joking Friday when he raised the idea at SFU’s Moving in Metro summit on mobility pricing. One of the problems confronting TransLink is that its revenue from the 17-cent-a-litre gas tax is declining, in part because of cross-border gas tax dodgers. “There’s a perception that whatever we do needs to be fair,” Doherty said. “And it’s not fair
have shorter waits. “And we’d see reduced pollution because people wouldn’t be making these unnecessary trips, largely in fuel inefficient vehicles.” It would also deal a blow to cross-border shopping, which cuts into provincial and federal tax revenue and undermines local businesses and local jobs. A case for road safety could even be made if fewer vehicles come back across the border packed full of gas jugs. Unlike blanket tolls elsewhere, Doherty sees fewer grounds for
complaint. “The people who do this are not the poorest of the poor,” he said of cross-border shoppers. “If you can afford it, you should pay.” Robin Lindsey, professor of transportation and logistics at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, said he wouldn’t want to see such a toll morph into a surrogate method of collecting customs tariffs, which are frequently waived by Canadian border personnel due to the heavy volume of shoppers crossing at popular times.

that people are evading paying their fair share of taxes.” A toll charged on southbound roads just before the border would raise much-needed funds – which summit participant Richard Campbell said might be devoted to Highway 99 improvements – and TransLink would likely also collect more in gas tax. Advocates predict there would be other benefits of a border toll. “You’d see reduced congestion,” Doherty said, noting people with more legitimate reasons to visit the U.S. would

TRANSLINK HAS shuffled its schedule for rolling out its Compass card, meaning about twothirds of transit users will now wait until next summer to start using the new payment system. Officials had previously promised the cards would be available to all by late spring after criticism that TransLink had failed to deliver on the “operational by fall 2013” signs on SkyTrain fare gates. West Coast Express passengers had been told they’d be first to get the new cards in December, but they have now been pushed back to late spring. The general public won’t be offered the smart cards until sometime in the summer, said Mike Madill, the TransLink vice-president in charge of the $194-million project. The decision to delay stems from what he called “area for improvement” flagged with the online customer service system that Compass users will log in to register cards, load money and control options like auto-loading from their connected credit cards. “It’s functional, but it’s not to the service standard we require for our customers,” Madill said. “We want to make sure we get it right for our customers all the way along.” TransLink previously planned to stop selling FareSaver tickets Jan. 1 but now says the booklets of prepaid discounted tickets will continue to be sold into next summer. WCE passengers will also be able to keep buying seven- and 28-day passes until Compass arrives for them. First up will now be income-assisted seniors and others with disabilities who now have the BC Bus Pass, which provides unlimited transit access B.C-wide for $45 a year. Madill said they will get Compass cards by the end of January if they’re Metro Vancouver residents, while Compass cards will also go out to Canadian National Institute for the Blind pass holders, as well as all TransLink employees to replace their current annual passes. Since those are all annual passes that don’t require payment top-ups, there’s no need for the
get day passes good on TransLink’s system for those trips. Metro holders of BC Bus passes will be able to flash their Compass cards to ride on the BC Transit system elsewhere in B.C. “For those folks the benefit remains the same – that was an important principle for the government,” Madill said. Those first groups amount to 80,000 users or about a tenth of the full ridership of 800,000

Booze in grocery stores? MLA tables recommendations on alcohol sales by Tom Fletcher THE MLA in charge of the B.C. government’s liquor
Highway 17 (South Fraser Perimeter Road)
Weekend Closure: Bridgeview Drive to 104 Avenue Motorists are advised that from the night of Friday December 6, until the morning of Monday, December 9, Highway 17 (South Fraser Perimeter Road) will be closed between Bridgeview Drive and 104 Avenue.
policy review is recommending alcohol sales within grocery stores, using the “store within a store” model in place in other provinces. Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap announced three of his recommendations Thursday, including the idea that a separate staffed area should handle alcohol sales. He also called for no increase to the 731 private store licences that are active now, and no sales in convenience stores other than those already designated as rural agency stores. Yap’s full report has more than 70 recommendations, but it won’t be released until the new year after cabinet has considered it. Liquor in grocery stores was by far the most popular topic during his public consultation, which is John Yap why only those recommendations are being made public now, he said. NDP liquor and gaming critic Shane Simpson said Yap has promoted the popular idea repeatedly, and Thursday’s announcement appears “cobbled together” to distract attention from BC Hydro rate hikes and B.C.’s dismal job creation performance
These closures are required for crews to remove girders from the original Port Mann Bridge where it crosses over Highway 17.

than it is about liquor sales. “It’s been released with no supporting evidence as to how you do this,” Simpson said. “Who gets these stores? If there’s really a moratorium on new licences, does this mean that somebody who has a 10,000 square foot private store today is going to be told you have to give that up to get 1,000 square feet in a Safeway? I don’t think that’s going to happen.” The Alliance of Beverage Licensees, representing private liquor stores, questioned Yap’s assertion that the change would create jobs and increase convenience. “There are very few places around the province you will not find a liquor store already located within 100 metres of a grocery store, and having a separate liquor checkout inside a grocery store will not improve convenience,” said Ian Baillie, executive director of the alliance. The alliance is running a radio ad campaign saying its 10,000 employees’ jobs are at risk, and putting alcohol in grocery stores increases the chance that young people can obtain booze.

B.C. in the black – barely by Tom Fletcher WITH HALF of the fiscal
year in the books, the B.C. government is clinging to a small surplus that was promised in this spring’s election. Finance Minister Mike de Jong presented the province’s second quarter budget update Wednesday, projecting that the fiscal year will end in March with a surplus of $165 million. That’s up $29 million from the September budget update. Corporate tax revenue is higher than expected, making up for personal tax revenue that was $284 million less than forecast. Part of the decline in personal income tax is due to employment, which de Jong said was disappointingly “flat lined” so far in 2013. He said unemployment has “dropped modestly” and full-time employment has grown, but the province has work to do to meet its jobs plan goal. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said the heavily advertised jobs plan is a flop, and the unemployment rate is down largely because 12,500 people have left B.C. to seek work since the plan was launched two years ago.

Dave Wilkinson, 66, comes to the Surrey Food Bank every second Wednesday during the 65+ Seniors Distribution day. The new program at the Surrey Food Bank ensures seniors receive nutritious foods tailored to their specific needs. EVAN SEAL THE LEADER
Culture of kindness For the Surrey Food Bank, the season of giving lasts all year long by Greg Laychak
A
loosely formed line of elderly men and women grows near a tall chain link fence in North Surrey. The group is humming with conversation, occasional laughter and a variety of accents. Their backgrounds are diverse, but these Surrey seniors have one thing in common: a need for food. On this cold, sunny Wednesday afternoon they’ve come to the Surrey Food Bank’s 65+ Seniors Distribution day. “I am little bit ashamed for coming here,” says Weronika-Mira Natoniewska. “But, many people are in same situation… maybe better, maybe worse.” The 73-year-old widowed Polish immigrant says that being a single senior makes it difficult to make ends meet. While she waits, she talks with her friends about the troubles of living on a low, fixed income while expenses everywhere are on the rise. Dave Wilkinson, 66, admits he isn’t there so much for the conversation. He comes every second Wednesday afternoon because of the one-to-one volunteer help and the opportunity to choose his grocery items. “When they just had hampers made up, you get whatever you get, whether you can use it or not,” says Wilkinson quietly through his long, grey beard. “This way if you don’t want something you just don’t take it.” Surrey Food Bank (SFB) Executive Director Marilyn Herrmann says the food

Items include nutritious supplement drinks, highfibre cereal and smaller packages. The customized program was set up earlier this year as a pilot program in response to a 23-per-cent increase in seniors visiting the food bank over the last two years. Herrmann says the seniors’ distribution program – which runs every other Wednesday – will now be a permanent service.
“They’re a vulnerable group,” says Herrmann. “They need a bit of a hand, they need to be valued. And they’re a population that is growing.” Seniors make up just one group of people that are helped by the Surrey Food Bank.

Surrey Food Bank: On the hunt for a larger space From page 15
The food bank has annual operating costs of about $1.4 million, and receives no core government funding, says Herrmann. About 60 per cent of needed funds comes from individuals in the community; the rest is raised through events or food drives. During the Christmas season, the Surrey Food Bank must raise about one-third of its yearly operating costs in order to make ends meet into the following year. For 2013, Herrmann says the fundraising goal is $450,000. Each dollar that is donated to the food bank can buy $2 worth of food. While the Surrey Food Bank is happy to receive donations in any capacity, Herrmann encourages donors to stop by the food bank in Whalley to give. “We love to meet people,” she says. The organization offers tours so people can see how their money is
Marilyn Herrmann spent and how food is distributed. “We have CEOs volunteering and working side by side with people with special needs, people from recovery homes, and school kids,” Herrmann says. “We’re unique in that we have an amazing culture of people under one roof.” The Surrey Food Bank is located at 10732 City Parkway. For more information, visit surreyfoodbank.org or call 604-581-5443.
Christmas caution EVERY HOLIDAY season
scammers are out in force pretending to col-
lect donations for the food bank, and Marilyn Herrmann expects this year to be no different. She stresses that the Surrey Food Bank does not go door-to-door to solicit cash donations, nor do they partner with other organizations to do so. “If someone comes to your door and says they’re the Surrey Food Bank and they’re looking for money, please do not give,” says Herrmann. Instead, she advises to donate in the following ways: • Online at surreyfoodbank.org • In person at 10732 City Parkway • Food can be dropped off at any Surrey fire hall For detailed information on ways to donate, visit: www.surreyfoodbank. org

Eagles score plenty, but settle for a split Junior A team wins one of two against Coquitlam by Nick Greenizan OFFENCE WAS in no short supply
ALWAYS A GOOD READ... AWARD WINNING EDITORIAL
Santa LOOK-ALIKE
for the Surrey Eagles last week, as the BC Hockey League team split a pair of high-scoring games with the Coquitlam Express. On Wednesday, the two Mainland Division rivals squared off at South Surrey Arena, with the Eagles prevailing 7-5, but the Express evened the score Friday night at the Poirer Sports and Leisure Centre, winning 9-6. Friday night’s road tilt got off to a rocky start for the Birds, as Coquitlam pumped four games past Surrey netminder Devon Fordyce in the first five minutes of the game, three of which came off the stick of Joey Santucci. Not to be outdone, however, the Eagles stormed back with three goals of their own before the first intermission. Braeden Russell – who led the Eagles with a hat-trick in the contest – scored his first of the game on the power-play at 5:56 of the first period, and in the later stages of the first frame, Joseph Drapluk and Russell, again, scored to bridge the gap
at s E urr nter eyl On ead lin er.c e om
to 4-3. In the second, Russell completed the hat-trick and tied the game, but three straight tallies from the Express gave the home team a comfortable lead before the second break. The third period was much of the same, as the two teams each scored twice more – Nathan Renouf and Nic Pierog for the Eagles, and Jackson Cressey and Canon Piper for Coquitlam. Somewhat surprisingly, in a game that featured 15 goals, neither team pulled their starting goaltenders from the game, save for the last two minutes, when the Eagles yanked Fordyce in favour of an extra skater. Fordyce stopped 23 of 31 shots – Coquitlam’s last goal was an empty-netter – while Express starter Gordie Defiel was credited with the win, stopping 27 of 33 shots on goal. Wednesday’s game was equally as wild, though unlike Friday’s tilt – in which most of the goals came in a wild first period – Wednesday’s decisive period was the third, in which six goals were netted. Surrey started the game well,
taking 3-1 lead into the first intermission after goals from Nathan Renouf, Drapluk and Jonah Renouf. The second period was relatively quiet, with Adam Rockwood scoring for Coquitlam and Heinen replying for Surrey on a penalty shot. Drapluk scored his second of the game just 20 seconds into the third, and Nathan Renouf added his second just 12 seconds later, but Coquitlam rallied after that with three goals in just over five minutes. Then, with the game 6-5 in Surrey’s favour, Heinen tacked on his second goal of the contest – he has 11 on the year – with an empty-net goal in the final minute. Surrey sits fourth in the BCHL’s Mainland Divison – where they’ve been for much of the season – with a record of 12-17-1-0 (won-lost-tiedovertime loss). The Eagles are back on the road this weekend, with a game in West Kelowna Friday and Penticton Saturday. They don’t play at South Surrey Arena until a four-game home stand begins Dec. 14.

A winless week for PJHL team
by Rick Kupchuk
THE NORTH Delta Devils dropped three Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL) games one the road last week. The Devils fell 3-2 to the Delta Ice Hawks last Tuesday in Ladner, then were drubbed 6-2 by the North Vancouver Wolf Pack Saturday in North Vancouver. Sunday afternoon in Burnaby, they dropped an 8-1 decision to the Grandview Steelers. The Devils have slipped to 6-19-1 (won-lost-tied), and are 14 points out of a playoff position in the Tom Shaw Conference. North Delta held the Ice Hawks to just 21 shots in Ladner, and won the special teams battle. Delta was scoreless on three powerplay chacnecs, while the Devils scored twice on nine powerplays. Joshua Trisevic put the visitors up 1-0 with the only goal of the first period, with Jackson Surbey and Colin Catchpole earning assists. Tristan Craighead
netted the second Devils goal late in the third period, which tied the game 2-2. The Ice Hawks netted the winner with less than eight minutes to play. Dawson Aulenback was in the North Delta goal, making 18 saves on 21 shots. Saturday against the Wolf Pack, North Delta fell behind 1-0 when former Devil Shane Kumar scored for North Vancouver. Catchpole tied the game 10 seconds later. The Wolf Pack regained the lead with two unanswered second period goals, then were up 4-1 before Mitchell Biermann netted the second goal of the game for the Devils. North Delta was one-for-five on the powerplay, while the Wolf Pack went two-for-six. The Devils are back in North Vancouver tomorrow (Wednesday) for another game with the Wolf Pack, before their next home game Saturday at 7:15 p.m. against the Ridge Meadows Flames at the Sungod Arena.

TBIs are caused by a jarring impact that results in the brain slamming into the interior of the skull. Motor vehicle accidents are a major cause of TBIs. Traumatic brain injuries may be accompanied by a number of wide-ranging symptoms. Some of these symptoms may not be apparent immediately following the impact that caused the injury, but most TBI victims will suffer from multiple symptoms that may include:
• Behaviour or personality changes • Difficult with Concentration • Memory Problems • Blurred vision or double vision • Dizziness • Blood or clear fluid seeping from the nose or ears • Loss of motor function • Pupils that do not react to light or are different in size • Respiratory problems
