Select Surrey schools implement alternative reporting system

Surrey teen’s accused killer denied bail

Making the grade disappear by Alex Browne

HOW STAKEHOLDERS feel about a pilot project exploring alternatives to letter grades on report cards seems to depend on their comfort zone. If you’re a teacher who’s interested in different ways of assessing students’ learning – like Rosemary Heights Elementary’s Linda Chau – you might be happy with getting away from the As, Bs, and Cs of traditional reporting. “I was relieved when it started,” said Chau, who teaches a Grade 5-6 combined class. “I was already doing alternative reporting. Letter grades didn’t always fit in with what I was doing in class.” But if you’re a parent who grew up with letter grades, and find they’re a crucial yardstick of your child’s academic achievement – or if you’re an “A student” like 10-year-old Paige Evans – you may not be so happy. “I actually don’t like not having a letter grade,” Linda Chau the Rosemary Heights Grade 5 student said, adding she feels it adds to the “half page of comments” that she and her classmates now receive. “You know that you need to work harder to get an A – it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have a goal to reach for,” Paige said. Classmate Thor McKenzie, 10, agreed. “When they don’t give me a grade, I don’t feel I know where I am in my class,” Thor said. But fellow Grade 5 student Mattias Bellan, Paige Evans 11, said he believes the pilot project’s emphasis on each student’s learning process, rather than a letter grade, has been beneficial for him. “I like that they tell us how to improve,” he said. “They don’t just say there’s your letter grade; that’s what you get.” Principal Laura Grills said the pilot project – implemented this school year in select schools in Surrey and Maple Ridge – currently involves three Grade 4 and three Grade 5 classes at Rosemary Heights, but with Grade 6 and 7 teachers observing and participating in discussion.

ond-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Karim Meskine of Surrey last month has been denied bail. A New Westminster provincial court judge cited several reasons for detaining the youth. During the hearing on Friday, the accused sat in the prisoner’s box with his head Karim Meskine bowed much of the time. Meskine’s family was in attendance, along with supporters. “We feel safer and better there is one more criminal off the street,” said Meskine’s mother Julie afterward. See YOUTH / Page 4

Two sex assaults reported by Delta students Police say description of suspect in both cases is the same by Sheila Reynolds DELTA POLICE are investigating

two reports of sexual assaults on high school students in the Sunshine Hills area of North Delta on Friday (Jan. 10). Police were called at about 8 a.m. after two Grade 8 girls said they were followed by a male as they were walking to school. The man approached the girls from behind and sexually assaulted one of them, said police. The same man then allegedly sexually assaulted another Grade 9 girl as he was fleeing from the area. The suspect’s description is the same in both cases: a white male in his 40s with long blond hair, a scruffy long beard and wearing a black leather jacket, and black and white toque with a hint of red. He had not been located as of Friday afternoon. Anyone with information about Friday’s incident is asked to call Delta Police at 604-9464411.

Just right now there’s relief. There’s so much work to do.” It has been a difficult few weeks for her since her son was taken off a ventilator and passed away on Dec. 20.

“You have to learn how to cope having to live again. Every memory of my son is being held. It’s long and painful. We’ll never be okay. You can’t possibly be okay.” She said she hopes the youth will be punished to the maximum “so other people don’t have to go through the same thing.” Meskine’s injuries were the result of a vicious assault during an alleged robbery near

More than simply removing letter grades, she said, the project represents “a whole different approach to things”, in which students, teachers and parents have a threeway communication about the “assessment for learning” of each individual. While it’s no surprise to Grill that some parents and students focused on A grades are resistant to the no-letter-grade approach, she notes only “a handful” of Rosemary Heights parents have expressed any kind of pushback. “I’ve heard grumbling at dinner parties – not here – that teachers don’t want to give letter grades

because they’re lazy,” she said. “But this is actually far more work for teachers.” The pilot project was in response to a B.C. Ministry of Education encouragement to explore different educational approaches. Grills noted her South Surrey school already has a highly involved parent community, and that teachers welcomed the increased emphasis on communication. “Schools need to change because jobs have changed,” she said. “We need to build critical thinking and the ability to think outside of the box.” In that context, Grills said, teachers should be looking at whether stu-

dents have a conceptual knowledge of what they are learning, rather than simply whether they’re getting right or wrong answers. More than knowing multiplication tables, for instance, students should also be developing a sense of what multiplication means and what numbers look like, she said. It’s not likely that letter grades and percentage marks will disappear entirely, Grills added. “We need to have letter grades, or some form of summative assessment, but that may be only 10 per cent of the assessment. We should focus 90 per cent on learning...” By the same token, Grills said the project is likely to change the way students are assessed in perpetuity. “I don’t think my teachers will want to assess students the old ways once they are fully involved in assessment for learning – I don’t think it will ever go back.” Chau said she believes teachers and parents become more open to the different approach with increasing familiarity. Surrey Teachers’ Association President Jennifer Wadge noted participation in the project is “totally voluntary at this time” and that schools are not required to follow a district template for the project. “Lots of teachers have expressed interest in new ways of reporting that don’t include letter grades, but, obviously, some are not going to participate, and some have concerns about moving away from letter grades – it’s a big shift in teaching,” she said. “As an association, we’re always open to looking at new ways of teaching, planning lessons, developing curricula – and new ways of reporting.” In addition to Rosemary Heights, participating Surrey elementaries include Green Timbers, David Brankin, George Vanier and Sunrise Ridge.

RAESIDE

Port Mann tolls are discriminatory

he tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge have now risen to $3 for single-occupancy vehicles, and the move is discriminatory. It is little more than an advanced tax grab. When the new bridge opened and tolls were first levied more than a year ago, South Fraser residents (who are the most frequent bridge users), were told they would initially be set at $1.50 because all the work on the bridge and the expanded Highway 1 was not complete. The work is still not complete, and won’t be for some time, but the higher tolls have kicked in. The tolls are discriminatory because they are aimed primarily at those who have to use the bridge. Most of these people live in Langley, Abbotsford or Surrey, although there are also some from the Tri-Cities area who use it regularly to get to work south of the Fraser. Those who benefit from the new interchanges and widened highway west of the bridge pay nothing towards all the improvements they enjoy. The province has not looked into tolling drivers based on the distance they travel on the improved highway – something that is routinely done in many jurisdictions around the world. While the toll can be justified because of the high cost of all the improvements – work which was decades overdue – it should apply to all who benefit from the new highway and bridge, not just the bridge users. Langley residents at least have one option – they can use the new 555 bus from the Carvolth exchange to quickly get to the Braid SkyTrain station. But residents from Surrey and Abbotsford have no such options available to them. There is no transit they can use to cross the bridge, even though that was a key promise when the bridge replacement project was announced nine years ago. The provincial government must treat all regions fairly. – Black Press

rime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election. TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver. They’re not environmentalists, just allpurpose protesters using the flavour of the month. They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,” a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders, and of course capitalism. As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.” Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.” I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck

less set up, isn’t just wasteful. It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help. Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast. Then he was off to a photo op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of funding for the Trans-Canada Trail. I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association. And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule? We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government alltime record deficit of $55 billion in 2009. Some cost cutting is in order all right.

SkyTrain stations expand – to what end? Port Mann TRANSLINK, A virtual monopoly, demands that

SkyTrain users put up with delays in 2014. The reason: a $164-million upgrade to expand a total of seven existing stations within the next three years. A system that has been in existence only about 30 years needs three years to expand just seven of its stations. This expansion purportedly will enable the system to carry up to 25,000 passengers per hour in each direction on the Expo line. Three years and $164 million is about $23 million per station over that period. Going by experience, the

$164 million will eventually end up to be $300plus million by the time the work is done, all that for expanding capacity of a 30-year-old system to work for another 30 years. What guarantee the public has that this is going to work as planned? Surrey is the fastest-growing city in the region and arguably in the whole country. Will this public transportation link stand the test of time for 30 more years? We know that something like a computer glitch or an electrical grid failure can hold up 25,000 passengers per hour in each direction for hours. Can we call this all good planning?

We need newer mass transportation links connecting our demographic hot points such as Vancouver and Surrey. Road transport is not an alternative. By the way, it doesn’t take 12 lanes each way to transport the same number of people an hour, as claimed by the TransLink. About three dedicated lanes each way can take care of that mass of people. If you want to decongest further, and if you can afford it, add one or two more lanes each way, but not 12 lanes each way. Dr. T. George, Delta

New perimeter road is fast and convenient, but poorly designed

I’VE DRIVEN the South Fraser Perimeter Road a couple of times and although it’s an exceptionally fast and convenient way to get to Highway 1 from Delta, I have one complaint about the road. The intersection of Highway 17 and Nordel Way is a huge bottleneck and should have been an interchange/ cloverleaf. I realize B.C. doesn’t like to complete projects because of cost concerns, but this is another of those legacies where the job was poorly designed and not executed with consideration for future volumes and traffic patterns. It appears to me there is enough adjoining land to have designed and constructed an interchange or cloverleaf, so the decision to not do so is even more puzzling to me. Another thing that appears to be, well shall I say stupid, is the grade leading up to this intersection, forcing big trucks to stop and resulting in one to three trucks getting through the intersection when the light turns green.

Rod Mores

SFPR should be called The Surrey Bypass

THE SOUTH Fraser Perimeter Road is now open, but the name is too long. You can get off Highway 1 near the Langley-Surrey border, and pop down onto this new road, which does an end-run around Surrey, missing Surrey’s shabby grid

of nameless streets and toofrequent and unsynchronized traffic lights which always turn red in front of you, and end up in Delta, get onto the Alex Fraser Bridge, thus missing the toll on the privatized Port Mann, and also miss the weekly murder. So let’s call it what it is – The Surrey Bypass. But sorry, it’s going to be under water within 10 years from rising sea levels.

THE JUSTIFICATION for the toll

on the Port Mann bridge just doesn’t cut it for those of us who live and work in Surrey. The only time I ever use the bridge is in the evening – usually to visit friends in the Tri-Cities area. I get on to Highway 1 at 152 Street and exit to Lougheed Highway at the other end of the bridge – $3 for three minutes of driving is ridiculous. There has been no time savings for me as there never was a congestion problem in the evening, even on the old bridge. I can see the rationale for a toll on rush hour commuters (particularly those from outside the Metro Vancouver’s gas tax zone). I’ve paid on average $30 a month over the last year ($360 for the year, soon to be $720 for this year) and am not receiving any benefit due to the new bridge. David Zindler

Do the math I BELIEVE the governing bodies know perfectly well why there are no public transit buses on the Port Mann Bridge. There would be great loss of private vehicle toll revenue and increased use of SkyTrain, because many more drivers would choose the bus. H. Torenbeek, Surrey

Robert McCroskey Port Kells

Road needs a wall I WOULD like to comment

about the South Fraser Perimeter Road. I live right across the street in front of the new road, and I see that most of the road has a nice wall put up in front for the noise and to keep it safe. In front of our house at 128 Street and 115B Avenue, a sand wall has been put up spray painted green. I was watching kids the other day climbing up and going over it. I am afraid one day some one is going to get killed on the new highway. What happened to the wall we were supposed to get? We have a school here too, along the low road in front of the school on 148 Street and King Road there is a wall for protection. My question is are we getting a wall as well? We have a lot of kids in this area that like to explore. Ruth Reiter Surrey

men who pushed my stalled vehicle out of traffic on Nordel Way on Jan. 4. Dozens of drivers had driven past me without offers to help before these chivalrous young men came along. They very reluctantly accepted a $20 gratuity from me and then returned five minutes later with a steaming jumbo cup of Tim Hortons coffee to keep me warm while I waited for a tow truck. Their kindness turned an unpleasant, inconvenient situation into a very heartwarming experience.

sexual assault in Surrey and the Fraser Valley may soon get better support. The federal government announced Friday it will give the Surrey Women’s Centre Society (SWC) $250,000 to address violence against women in the region. The money will help the centre fund a project aimed at improving the coordination of intervention for victims – a service coordination that, until now, has been lacking, according to Sonya Boyce, executive director at SWC. “Generally, it is about bringing those medical, legal and social service stakeholders together to identify where the gaps are in service,” said Boyce. “We know women are falling through the cracks, so this project is really around identifying really where those cracks are and developing new ways of working together.” She said while the issue affects all women, it’s those who are marginal- Sonya Boyce ized – such as aboriginal women, immigrants and sex workers – who suffer most when there are gaps in the system Corrine Arthur, projects coordinator at SWC, said the society has already been working with various groups that deal with “vulnerable populations” and have identified areas where shortfalls exist. For example, she said, recent information from those working with youth indicates young women are struggling with the transition to adulthood. Many issues stem from the fact they no longer have access to their youth workers when they reach age 19, making it more difficult to connect with the help and resources they need. Missing women are also a targeted issue, said Arthur. “We need to identify when women really are missing and put more effort into finding them.” The funding announcement was made by Dr. K. Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women. “Our Government is committed to protecting women and girls from violence,” said Leitch. “That is why we are holding offenders accountable for their actions, and supporting community-based projects across Canada that address violence against women.” Nina Grewal, MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells was also at Friday’s event. “Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue that touches us all,” she said. “Through this project, the Surrey Women’s Centre Society is providing effective, targeted, and community-based support to address violence against women and girls across the region.” According to statistics, women who are victims of assault (sexual or physical) are less likely that other victims of crime to report incidents to police or seek medical treatment. The Surrey Women’s Centre offers crisis, court and counselling to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and other forms of family violence.

Mac’s suspect turns himself in by Kevin Diakiw THE MAN who Surrey

Crime spree charges by Martin van den Hemel A DELTA man is now facing 16

criminal charges, a number that may still grow, in connection with a violent crime spree Jan. 5 across three cities that began in Richmond and ended in Surrey. Jonathon Gerald Leblanc, 30, is charged with robbery, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon in connection to a stabbing and carjacking at a home on Deerfield Crescent. The victim of the stabbing remains in hospital, in serious but stable condition, according to a resident of the home who saw him for a few minutes last week. The homeowner answered a knock at the front door around 6:45 p.m. last Sunday, and was overpowered by a man, who held

a screwdriver to his neck until a family member handed over a key to a Honda Accord parked outside. The homeowner was repeatedly stabbed by the home invader, with at least one of the injuries piercing his heart, necessitating open-heart surgery Sunday. Provincial Crown spokesperson Neil Mackenzie said Leblanc is also charged with: • Robbery, assault causing bodily harm, and assault with a weapon against a second victim; • Robbery, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon against a third victim; • Assault with a weapon against a fourth victim; • Robbery of a fifth victim; • Assault with a weapon against a sixth victim; • Dangerous driving, mischief

and failing to remain at an accident scene in relation to an incident that occurred in Vancouver; • Failing to stop a motor vehicle being pursued by police in Surrey. Leblanc’s next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 16 for a bail hearing in Vancouver provincial court. Mackenzie said the Crown may receive additional investigative material, and since this is an ongoing police investigation, other charges are possible. None of the charges involve the initial crash on Highway 99, near Highway 91, in which Leblanc is suspected of driving his vehicle into the back of another vehicle, and then fleeing the scene, which is close to the Deerfield property where the homeowner was attacked.

Delta train line proposed ahead of new coal port BNSF Railway wants to build a siding track to handle expected increase in trains byÂ Adrian MacNair THE OWNER of a Delta

rail line is proposing to build a siding track in North Delta to handle an expected increase in coal trains bound for the proposed coal port at Fraser Surrey Docks. American-owned BNSF Railway currently transports coal,

Canadian softwood lumber, paper products, and general merchandise between the Lower Mainland and the U.S., as well as Amtrak Cascades passenger service from Vancouver to Seattle. A delegation from the company visited Delta council last Monday (Jan. 6) to apprise them of the

progress of the proposed North Colebrook Siding, to be located between south of 64 Avenue to north of 72 Avenue on the eastern portion of what is the MK Delta Lands proposal. The current rail alignment is 36 metres from the nearest residential areas and the new sid-

ing would be installed on the east side of the track, even closer to the backyards. BNSF said the goal is to allow trains to move off its main line for other rail traffic to use the corridor without interruption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[It] allows for the more safe movement of rail traffic, both freight and passenger,â&#x20AC;? said Johan Hellman, executive director of government affairs with BNSF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also allows for the railroad to be able to accommodate those larger volumes.â&#x20AC;? Delta Chief Administrative Officer George Harvie invited BNSF in a July 2013 letter to appear in a delegation to discuss concerns over blowing coal dust from parked rail cars on the siding. The company has made assurances this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an issue.

Coal trains, like this one in neighbouring White Rock, could soon be a common sight in North Delta along the BNSF Railway line. Since BNSF owns the right-of-way to the corridor, under the Canada Transportation Act it does not require Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval to proceed with the project. Railway companies are not required to undertake public consultation for projects within

their rights-of-way, but must provide a 60-day public notification of the construction to adjacent property owners. However, the company would require permission to enter the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area to undertake geotechnical studies

regarding the impact to Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cougar and Blake Raven creeks, over which the rail right-of-way crosses. If those water courses would need to be modified in any way, Delta council would need to formally approve that request. Hellman said the engineering for the design phase of the project is about 30 per cent complete. Coun. Jeannie Kanakos expressed â&#x20AC;&#x153;grave concerns regarding the potential of coal trains being parked on the proposed [BNSF] train track.â&#x20AC;? Kanakos put forward an amending motion requesting further information on the project regarding environmental and qualityof-life impacts, but was defeated.

Make Valley pay into TransLink, mayor says

Delta Welcoming Communities Program & Safe Harbour presents:

Eastern cities get ‘free ride’ on Metro transit system

by Jeff Nagel

ONE METRO Vancouver

mayor says Fraser Valley residents should be forced to make some contribution to TransLink because they also benefit from Metro’s transit system. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin suggested a fuel tax of a few cents per litre imposed in the Fraser Valley would be one way for that region to pay an appropriate amount in the name of fairness. “I think they’re getting a bit of a free ride,” Daykin said, citing the ability of residents there to ride the West Coast Express commuter train to downtown Vancouver from Mission, or to drive to one of TransLink’s park-and-rides that connect to SkyTrain. Mission contributes $770,000 per year to support West Coast Express service, in recognition of the station there, but other Fraser Valley communities pay nothing. Daykin said licence plate checks of vehicles at the West Coast Express parking lot in Mission have found 30 to 40 per cent belong to Abbotsford residents. Despite Mission’s contribution, service on the Mission-Haney WCE leg is heavily subsidized by TransLink, which pegs its net cost at $1 to $2 million. Daykin also pointed to the heavily used express bus over the Port Mann Bridge from the Carvolth park-and-ride in northwest Langley to SkyTrain in New Westminster. “I wonder how many from up the Valley drive there, park their car and hop on the bus and have access to all the transit system? It’s hard to believe it’s all Langley people.” This month’s doubling of Port Mann Bridge tolls to $3 for most drivers may spur even more Fraser Valley motorists to park and ride transit instead, he added. Metro Vancouver households pay hefty amounts to TransLink regardless of whether they use transit. TransLink gets $235 per year in property tax from the average Metro home as well as 17 cents for every litre of gas sold within the region. Fares generate the biggest

piece of the $1.45-billion budget. Any payment from Valley communities would be very modest, Daykin said, and would not go far to raising the extra billions of dollars TransLink needs to expand service. “It’s not going to be tens of millions of dollars,” he said. “I’m not delusional. But there should be an acknowledgement that there’s a benefit of our system in Metro to the Valley.” Daykin said he recently made that pitch

to B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone, but got a “cool” response. Fraser Valley Regional District board chair Sharon Gaetz said there’s no justification. The Chilliwack mayor said studies show few people – about 10 per cent of trips by locals – leave the FVRD to shop, work or play in Metro, and most of them go only to Surrey or Langley. “Given the small numbers it wouldn’t be reasonable to have our taxes go to support that,”

Gaetz said. She also called it an “apples and oranges” comparison because of the way TransLink was created in 1999. Metro taxpayers were absolved of the requirement to pay tax to support hospital capital projects in return for them taking responsibility for regional transit costs. The FVRD’s transit costs, in contrast, are mostly subsidized by BC Transit, but Fraser Valley residents still pay for hospital capital.

Eagles earn a point in Prince George BCHL team drops two on road trip, losing streak at three games by Nick Greenizan THE SURREY EAGLES trip north wasn’t

the most productive, as the BC Hockey League club managed to secure just one of a possible four points in two games against the Prince George Spruce Kings. The team’s lone point came in 4-3 overtime loss Saturday at the Prince George Coliseum – a game that very nearly slipped away from the Eagles’ grasp in regulation time. Having led 2-1 after 40 minutes of play, the Spruce Kings tied the game at the eight-minute mark when Marco Ballarin scored, and with 1:31 left in the game, the home team took the lead when Justin Rai scored what appeared to be the game-winning goal. But with the clock ticking down, Surrey’s Danton Heinen – whom Eagles’ head coach

Peter Schaefer had praised the week before as part of “the future of the team” – scored with 33 seconds remaining to tie the game and send it to overtime. The extra session didn’t last long, however, as Rai – who also opened the scoring for the Spruce Kings in the first period – beat Eagles’ goalie Bo Didur to complete the hat-trick and give his team the win. The other two Eagles to score in the game were 17-year-old affiliate player Quinn Lenihan – a six-foot-three Surrey native – and defenceman Kale Bennett, who scored his second goal of the season on a second-period power-play. Anthony Conti – who the Eagles acquired from the Penticton Vees last week in exchange for Nic Pierog – also continued his strong run with his new team. The six-foot-three forward, who is

committed to the University of AlaskaAnchorage for 2015, had an assist and a fight in the game. In three games in Eagles’ colours, he has two goals and one assist while playing a physical game. Didur also had a strong game between the pipes, stopping 31 Prince George shots, including a handful of point-blank chances in the third period. Friday night, the Eagles dropped their first game of the trip, 6-3 to the Kings. The Spruce Kings led 2-1 after the first period – Conti scored the Eagles’ lone goal – and the home team extended the lead to 4-1 by the end of the second period, on goals from Rai and Brent Lashuk. Lashuk scored again 1:17 into the third period to take a 5-1 lead, and though Chase McMurphy and Nathan

SECTION CO-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

Renouf scored for Surrey to close the gap, Lashuk got his third of the game in the final minute, scoring into the empty net. The Eagles, who’ve now lost three straight games, are still just four points back of the third-place Coquitlam Express in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. Surrey will have a chance to bridge that gap to just two points Wednesday, when they head to Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports Centre for a midweek tilt against the Express. This weekend, the Eagles return to South Surrey arena for a pair of games. Friday, they host the Trail Smoke Eaters and Saturday, the first-place Langley Rivermen are in town. The Rivermen are winners of five straight games, and on the weekend became the first BCHL team to clinch a playoff spot.

District will take to the court this week in the 23rd annual Surrey RCMP Classic. The qualifying round of the 23-team senior category began play Sunday at two local high schools, while the junior division began play yesterday (Monday) at three venues with 20 teams participating, up from 16 a year ago. Winners of Sunday’s qualifying games advance to the first round of the RCMP Classic today (Tuesday). The losers will drop into Pool B, a seven-team competition that concludes with games Wednesday and Thursday and Frank Hurt Secondary. The all-Surrey championship began in 1993 as an eight-team tournament, but has grown to become the largest in B.C. When the tournament concludes with championship games Saturday at Enver Creek Secondary, 77 games will have been played at eight Surrey high schools over seven days. The White Rock Christian Academy Warriors have dominated the RCMP Classic over the years, winning 11 championships in 14 appearances in the tournament final. They topped the Tamanawis Wildcats 89-70 in last year’s final, but won’t be defending their championship in 2014. White Rock Christian doesn’t have a senior boys team this season. That leaves the Wildcats as the heavy favorites, after having moved up the third in the provincial Senior AAAA rankings by the B.C. Boys Basketball Association. The Fleetwood Park Dragons should also contend for a berth in the final. The Dragons are ranked fourth among Senior AAA teams. First round games will be played today, with quarterfinal contests tomorrow. The semifinals are Friday night at 5:45 and 7:45 p.m. at Enver Creek Secondary, with the championship game Saturday at 7:45 p.m.

Kay is survived by her family; daughter Deb and son, Mark and their spouses Rick and Jennifer and the grandchildren, Shawn, Sherrie, Pam, Stephenie, Jackelyn, Justin, Roan and Tara; and great grandchildren Taylor, Tyler, and Megan; Brittani, Hailee, Nolan, and Ella; Madison, Emma, Rachel and Avery; Peyton, Easton and Blake; and sisters, Emma and Theresa.

All are saddened but relieved that she can finally rest peacefully. And Ford Coughlin, who has been by her side through the ups and downs misses her companionship. Memories of family gatherings and camping trips, gift giving, cruises…fill her family and friends with warmth in their hearts and allow them to embrace her release. A Celebration of Kay’s life will be held January 18th at 3:00 pm in the hall of Colebrook United Church, 5441-125A Street, Surrey, B.C.
