MAYORS PROPOSE 0.5% SALES TAX HIKE Our rewards

▶ AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD WOULD PAY ESTIMATED $125 PER YEAR IF APPROVED JEFF NAGEL

Metro Vancouver mayors voted 18-3 Thursday – with Burnaby, Maple Ridge and West Vancouver mayors opposed – to go to referendum on a 0.5-per-cent increase in the Provincial Sales Tax within the region to fund a $7.5-billion package of transit upgrades. The regional sales tax would raise an esti-

mated $250 million in new revenue per year. Raising the PST from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent in Metro is estimated to cost the average household an extra $125 per year, while the poorest 20 per cent of residents would pay about $50 more, beginning in early 2016. The proposed referendum question will list key projects that would be built with the dedicated tax. It asks: “Do you support a half percentage point (0.5%) increase to the Provincial Sales Tax in Metro Vancouver, dedicated to the Mayors’ Transportation and Transit Plan, with independent audits and public reporting?” (Yes or No). The mayors’ full $7.5-billion 10-year

are more uplifting. More rewarding.

package of upgrades – unveiled last June – includes a Broadway subway, light rail in Surrey, 11 new B-Line express bus routes, frequent SeaBuses and a 25-per-cent general lift in bus service, as well as more money for HandyDart and West Coast Express. “The alternative to this plan is pure and simple gridlock, pollution and congestion beyond anything we are currently experiencing,” new Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart called the plan “an enormous jump forward” that the region cannot afford to reject. continued on page 4

‘How was I to know evil would walk to my doorstep?’ ▶ FAMILIES OF SURREY SIX VICTIMS SPEAK IN COURT BEFORE CODY HAEVISCHER AND MATTHEW JOHNSTON ARE SENT TO JAIL WITH LIFE SENTENCES FOR MASS MURDER SHEILA REYNOLDS

For the third time since her 22-year-old son was murdered in her Surrey apartment building seven years ago, Eileen Mohan attempted to describe to a judge Friday the impact her child’s slaying has had on her life. In court for the sentencing of Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston, Mohan took the stand, tearfully trying to convey her deep, devastating and lingering loss. “I want my Christopher back,” she said, sobbing. She said the bullets that killed her son shattered her family forever and she still carries great guilt that she didn’t stay home that day as planned instead of going in to work. “How was I to know that evil would walk to my doorstep?” she asked. “My heart has not forgiven me.” Haevischer and Johnston, both Red Scorpions gang members, were found guilty in October of six counts of first-degree murder each and one count of conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the execution-style mass killing in suite 1505 of the Balmoral Tower in Surrey on Oct. 19, 2007. Although the murder convictions come with an mandatory life sentence with no parole eligibility for 25 years, Friday’s hearing allowed the victim’s families to provide statements and for a sentencing decision to be made on the conspiracy charge. Justice Catherine Wedge delivered her sentence Friday afternoon, giving Haevischer 18 years for the conspiracy charge, with double credit for time served, leaving about four-and-a-half years remaining. Johnston received 20, leaving about eight years after credit for time already in custody. The Crown has asked for a maximum Eileen Mohan. FILE PHOTO sentence on the conspiracy charge, urging the court to send a “loud and clear” message that a “peaceful and loving society” will not tolerate such violence. Haevischer’s defence lawyer had suggested a 10-year jail sentence, while Johnston’s recommended 15. The jail terms will be served concurrently to the automatic life sentences for the six first-degree murder convictions both men received, with no chance to apply for parole for 25 years from the date they were arrested. That means they’ll be eligible to apply for parole (not necessarily receive) in about 20 years. Neither murderer chose to address the court or apologize to the families of the victims. They smiled and shook hands with their lawyers before being led away by sheriffs. Two innocent victims – fireplace repairman Ed Schellenberg, 55, of Abbotsford and Christopher Mohan, who lived with his parents across the hall from suite 1505 – were among the victims who were fatally shot. Also killed were Corey Lal – the target of the planned hit – his brother Michael, Eddie Narong and Ryan Bartolomeo, all of whom had drug connections. In delivering her sentence, Justice Wedge said the planned murder of one man “exploded into a horrific display of wanton violence.” The killers intended to rob and murder rival drug dealer Corey Lal that day, but killed the others to eliminate any witnesses. Outside court, Eileen Mohan said Friday was the most difficult day yet, but she felt her son – who was heading out to a basketball game when he was pulled into the neighbouring apartment and killed – was finally given justice. “I’m truly and tremendously grateful,” she said. continued on page 8

Psychiatric assessment ordered for Surrey mom ▶ LISA BATSTONE FACING MURDER CHARGE IN DEATH OF HER 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TRACY HOLMES

A South Surrey mother has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the discovery Wednesday of her eight-year-old daughter’s body. Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed the charge against Lisa Deanne Batstone, 41, just after 11 a.m. the next day. Batstone’s daughter, Teagan, was found deceased in the trunk of a car in the 13900-block of 35A Avenue, a cul-de-sac off of Crescent Road, around noon. The distraught defendant, who was arrested at the scene, made a brief appearance in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday, where Judge Donald Gardner ordered a psychiatric assessment after a request from court-appointed defence counsel Kelly Johnston. Investigators believe the girl – a student at Rosemary Heights Elementary and Batstone’s only child – was killed elsewhere. Teagan’s father, Ottawa resident Gabe Batstone – CEO of a Vancouver-based “interactive 3D and augmented technologies” company – shared his grief

on Twitter Thursday: “Life will never be the same after losing my daughter to murder… We are devastated by the loss of our beautiful Teagan. Beloved daughter, sister who deserved so much more.” An autopsy scheduled for Thursday was hoped to confirm the girl’s cause of death. The results were not released by The Leader’s press deadline Monday. Meanwhile, police and grief counsellors were at Rosemary Heights Elementary in South Surrey last week to help Teagan’s fellow students and teachers deal with the tragedy. News of Teagan’s death and the charge against her mother has shocked the community. Many have expressed disbelief. At White Rock Baptist Church, where Teagan and her mom had attended for the past six years, pastor Fay Puddicombe described the youngster as “an affectionate, vivacious little girl loved by everyone who knew her.” “We will miss her greatly,” Puddicombe said, adding a memorial service will be held for Teagan at the church (1657 140 St.) at 7 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 17). Everyone is welcome to attend the child-friendly service. A Facebook tribute posted by Tamara Glover describes Teagan as “an angel on earth and now one in heaven. Teagan was always a happy child, who loved her dog Bats and her cat Beans,” Glover writes. “Teagan was Lisa’s world…” Batstone’s next court date is scheduled for Dec. 18. – with files from Sarah Massah and Alex Browne

He said transit congestion and bus pass-ups are teaching youths that transit won’t work and they need to buy a car. “We need to reverse that trend or we need to build more roads,” Stewart said. Today’s decision launches a major push by mayors and other proponents of improved transit service to convince residents to vote yes. The question and tax increase proposal must still be approved by the provincial cabinet to go to referendum. It would take place as a mail-in ballot over six weeks beginning in late March, with a final voting deadline of midApril. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said mayors have largely “hit the mark” in designing the question and he expects only minor tweaking by the province. He praised mayors for their work and called it “a plan I think the region can get behind.” Stone said he did not expect to alter the priorities the mayors have set out or their proposed

10-year time frame. But he said approval of government funding for major new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver would be subject to analysis of the business cases for them. Since the province in the past has switched projects from light rail to SkyTrain, that raises questions of whether either the Surrey or Vancouver projects might yet shift in design or scope. The new lines depend on $3.1 billion in federal and provincial contributions and would be built later in the 10-year period. More buses and possibly additional SkyTrain cars and more frequent SeaBuses would come on stream sooner. The B.C. Liberal government said in 2013 any new taxes for TransLink will have to pass a referendum, which it would pay for if conducted by June of 2015. A coalition of business, environment and labour groups dubbed the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition stepped forward Wednesday, saying its members will fight for the Yes side.

It includes the Vancouver Board of Trade, Unifor Local 111, Tourism Vancouver, Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, David Suzuki Foundation, Greater Vancouver Gateway Council and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. HandyDart Riders Alliance spokesman Tim Louis said a planned 30-per-cent boost in HandyDart service hours over 10 years would be “a step towards releasing people with disabilities from the virtual house arrest” that they’ve faced under an extended service freeze. Opponents of new TransLink taxes are also mobilizing, with the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman vowing to fight the tax hike. He said a key area of uncertainty in the plan is its reliance on senior government contributions that may not materialize, or that may come at a cost of grants for other major projects, like sewer upgrades. Bateman also predicts households will pay more than $125 a year – he estimates $250 per year – because businesses will also pay PST and

Three mayors vote against plan The three mayors who voted against sending the PST hike question to referendum all agree more transit is required. Mayors who objected were led by Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, who criticized the concept of the provincially required referendum, called the plan too ambitious and predicted failure. He said the “deal killer” for him remains mayors’ inadequate control of the TransLink decisions that continue to be mainly made by an unelected professional board. Corrigan also noted TransLink already gets more money all the time through an automatic annual three-per-cent increase in property taxes over which mayors have no control. “The reality is this is the beast that eats money,” he said, adding mayors should put aside “sexier” rapid transit projects and invest in more bus service. But Corrigan said he will not campaign for the No side and – pressed on his response to a victory – said he would celebrate with Yes forces if the referendum passes. “If it passes then I think it’s going to be a positive thing for the region to be able to have that additional money into the system,” Corrigan said. New Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read also voted against the question, citing TransLink’s current governance model, but added she supports the plan to expand transit in theory and agrees the sales tax hike is the best mechanism. West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith, the third No vote, also said the decision left him in a quandary due to lack of accountability and waste at TransLink, although he said he will likely personally vote Yes in the referendum. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, a longtime critic of inadequate TransLink service south of the Fraser, voted in favour of the question. “We will never have 100 per cent consensus if we sit here for 100 years,” Jackson said, arguing the upgrades will bring frequent bus service to many more residents across the region.

the average household $125 annually. One advantage of using the sales tax is it also captures some spending by tourists and other visitors from elsewhere in B.C., reducing the burden on locals. Fraser Valley residents going to a Canucks game or Vancouver Islanders coming for a concert will all contribute. An annual levy of $170 on every registered vehicle was also considered and rejected, because its estimated impact on the average household was higher – $230 per year – and was seen as unfairly

punishing just one group of users: drivers. Families with two or more vehicles would have paid more than average, likely hitting households in areas with poor transit service the hardest. Raising the PST half a point is estimated to cost the poorest households less than $50 annually. That lower estimate is because existing PST exemptions – including food, shelter, kids’ clothes and medicine – would also apply on the sales tax increase for transit. The typical Met-

ro Vancouver home already pays $250 a year in property tax to TransLink, on top of municipal property taxes, and mayors refuse to rely more heavily on that source. They do still aim to pursue a road pricing system over the longer term that would reform the current practice of tolling one new bridge at a time. The PST increase would, if approved by voters, take effect around April 2016. The referendum requires a 50 per cent plus one majority across the region to pass.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tu e s d ay D e ce m b e r 1 6 2 0 1 4

‘Sticks’ don’t cut it Surrey’s exiting mayor Dianne Watts is absolutely right. The city should not be taking down evergreens and planting what she describes as “stick” trees. Describing the current city policy – or policy by default – as one of the pet peeves of her nine-year reign, Watts urged city staff, in one of her final acts as mayor, to make sure Surrey’s shrinking tree canopy henceforth includes a combination of maple trees and evergreens. The valedictory of the erstwhile city leader should be heeded by her successor, Mayor Linda Hepner, who was sworn in last week. Ever the astute politician, Watts is not one to be unaware of changing moods in the city or be oblivious to increasing discontent about the elimination of mature trees from neighborhoods cited for new housing and business development. The citizens of Surrey didn’t need a city-commissioned report – unveiled late last month – to tell them the city’s

tree canopy has been drastically reduced in recent years. The report’s greatest value is in quantifying what, for some, has become more than a grim suspicion. While Surrey’s Sustainability Charter has pegged a 40-percent tree canopy in urban areas as a goal to be reached by 2058 – and this ratio is held as an indicator of an environmentally friendly city in such areas as Greater Toronto – the report shows Surrey galloping in the other direction. According to the report, Surrey – which used to pride itself as “The City of Parks” – has seen its tree canopy drop from 33 per cent in 2001 to 30 per cent in 2009 and 27.17 per cent in 2013 in areas not protected by the Agricultural Land Reserve. That’s a more than 17-percent decline in 13 years, even with the “replacement” trees that have been planted to decorate new developments. As Watts declared, the city has been equally responsible

for promoting the “stick” trend, planting lesser trees on its medians and along its boulevards, as though this could be sufficient compensation for what is lost. To some, a tree is a tree, but even a rudimentary knowledge of botany would indicate the vast difference between a row of recently planted small trees and shrubs and the involved eco-system represented by a stand of mature trees. Many of those who, like Watts, seek to protect Surrey’s older trees are not opposed to development, which is surely inevitable. They merely think we could be more intelligent about incorporating existing vegetation with new building, through judicious land swaps and a willingness to vary from private-profit-driven streetscapes. And if Surrey is to reach its 40-per-cent tree canopy goal, city staff cannot afford to ignore or marginalize the efforts of engaged citizens who seek creative solutions.

Horgan on LNG, climate and farmland The following are highlights from Tom Fletcher’s year-end interview with B.C. NDP leader John Horgan. For an extended version, see the Opinion section at surreyleader.com

BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

TF: The B.C. Liberal government has given every indication they’re going to proceed with the Site C dam on the Peace River. What do you think? JH: I’ve always maintained that it’s a good project, but it’s a question of when to add another $8-9-10-12 billion onto the backs of ratepayers. First of all, go to the B.C. Utilities Commission and find out if this is the power you need and if this is the time to build it. The government refuses to do that, and I think that’s just an Achilles heel in this process. TF: You voted for the liquefied natural gas income tax to provide certainty, and then you immediately said you would work to increase the LNG tax in 2017, before any major project could be started. How is that certainty?

JH: I thought it was important that the investment community in this sector knew there was bipartisan support for LNG in British Columbia. But we went from a seven-per-cent (tax) to a 3.5-per-cent because of a softening market. If there is a decline in return to the province because of a softening market, then surely over a 25-year period – not just between now and 2017, but if the market conditions change and prices go up – I think British Columbians would want their government to make sure they were getting a fair share of that benefit. TF: Why did you vote against the LNG environmental legislation? JH: They said prior to the election that LNG would be the greenest in the world. And then when they tabled legislation they left out 70 per cent of the emissions from upstream activity. TF: Gordon Campbell’s great goal for greenhouse gases, 33 per cent reduction by 2020, can that be

reached assuming a substantial LNG development? JH: I find it difficult to believe that they’re going to achieve those results. (Environment Minister) Mary Polak has a different point of view, and our job as opposition is to hold them accountable to the numbers that they passed into law, and we’re going to do that. One of the three sectors, housing, energy and transportation, where emission profiles can be managed downward is transportation. And the government has wasted 18 months talking about a referendum on [Metro Vancouver transit.] TF: What’s your top priority for 2015? JH: I think the public is going to increasingly find affordability issues to be the challenge. We didn’t spend as much time as I had hoped to on hydro rate increases, ICBC. When the government balanced the budget, they did it by selling assets, and

INBOX ▼ TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS IN THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE Dear patients of physicians: I am the patient in the waiting room that no one notices. I sit quietly and watch, listen and wonder. I watch you get up every two minutes and walk to the reception desk to glare at the office staff. Is this an intimidation tactic? I listen to you ask the office staff, “How many people are ahead of me?”; “Why is that person going in before me? They just walked in.”; and “How much longer do I have to wait?” Then I hear you berating the doctor for keeping you waiting. And I shake my head. And I wonder. I wonder how your world is so small that you have no empathy? You are maybe there for a prescription refill. Can you not perceive that someone earlier was in great need of medical attention? Maybe a heart attack? Do you not care that the doctor just told the patient ahead of you that they had terminal cancer? How badly must the doctor feel leaving that room only to be told you didn’t like the wait. But the doctor always manages a smile and then listens to your problems. So try a little kindness. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Come sit quietly in the waiting room with me and become the patient that no one notices. Judy McKendrick

No trust in TransLink ▼ JUST SAY NO IN UPCOMING REFERENDUM

Everyone should vote no in the transit referendum. These people would not put in the turnstiles, the Compass plan does not work and the system keeps shutting down. They were told there was problems with the system. They went ahead anyway. They don’t listen to anybody. They’re almost paid twice as much as anyone else in the bigger cities. They want a yes vote? Cut their wages by 30 per cent and get in line with the rest of North America. We have seven new mayors and they all say they want change. They’re elected now so they don’t have to listen to the people for four years. My wife and I are retired and any raise in taxes, car fees, insurance or carbon tax is too much.

Good luck. It has to be fair for everyone. Vancouver does not need any more transit. They have all these new bike lanes that only one per cent of the people use.

▼ FROM ONE DOG OWNER TO OTHERS: PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PETS This is a gentle request for all dog owners to please remember to pick up after your dog when out for a walk or in a dog park. Recently my dog Koda and I were at the South Surrey Morgan Crossing shops and we stopped at the dog park and I was saddened to see that a lot of previous visitors to the park didn’t clean up the mess their pet left behind. We all need to be responsible to the animals we love and think of as part of our lives and family, and this includes cleaning up after them. The dog park provides doggy-doo bags at the gate, so even if you forget to bring a bag along, they are there when needed. It would be highly appreciated if everyone cleaned up after their own pet. Thank you to all and hope you have a great holiday season. Sandra Steffan and Koda

A new law allowing judges to hand down consecutive (as opposed to concurrent) sentences does not apply to the Surrey Six case because the law was enacted after the murders took place. Jamie Bacon, allegedly the leader of the Red Scorpions at the time of the murders, has also been charged in the case. He is scheduled to go to trial in May on one count each of conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder. Michael Le initially went on trial with Haevischer and Johnston, but entered a surprise guilty plea to the conspiracy charge in November 2013 and became a star witness for the Crown. He was sentenced to 12 years in jail, but with credit for time served, only has about two remaining. Another man, who can only be identified as Person X due to a publication ban, previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2009 in the case and is serving a life sentence. Bacon has also been charged with counselling another person to commit an indictable offence, the commission of an offence for a criminal organization, and instructing the commission of an offence for a criminal organization. The charges allege that Bacon was involved in a plot to kill Person X sometime between Nov. 30, 2008 and Jan. 2, 2009. Another man, Sophon Sek, is also awaiting trial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on a charge of manslaughter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the Surrey Six killings. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with files from Vikki Hopes

B.C. urged to end ‘shadow system’ of foster care

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond

Letting at-risk kids drift toward poverty, homelessness, jail, abuse and untreated mental illness is much more costly than a comprehensive, fully funded and properly supported residential care system, she said. She’s also urging a hybrid approach of shared guardianship that lets parents and other family continue to participate

in the upbringing of a child who must be in government care. Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux issued a statement saying the review doesn’t reflect her ministry’s latest improvements, including the new sixbed Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre in Burnaby. Cadieux called Turpel-Lafond’s proposed three-month timeline for action “unrealistic” because the ministry is tackling other priorities, including the hiring of 200 more front-line child protection staff. Turpel-Lafond said the government has had adequate time to act – it’s been nearly two years since she issued similar recommendations after an 11-year-old boy with complex needs was tasered by police. “I’m certainly not happy that I continue to see children in this state,” she said. “They need to get on this.” Of B.C.’s nearly 9,000 children and teens in care, 1,300 have complex needs and nearly 900 of them are in contracted placements that often have inadequate oversight.

B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth has issued yet another stinging rebuke to the province for allowing substandard conditions in 31 cases where youths in care ended up critically harmed or dead. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond latest review of children in care focuses on those with complex medical, psychological or behavioural needs and paints a tragic portrait of a system she says is “in disarray” because of government’s failure to fund an adequate model. “We’re compounding their challenges by isolating them and giving them this kind of substandard treatment,” she told reporters Wednesday. One youth dubbed Dean came

province knew of that care plan and agreed to it, Turpel-Lafond added. Of the cases reviewed, seven children were sexually assaulted, eight were physically assaulted, while others were suicidal, had drug overdoses or self-inflicted injuries. Two died. She noted the Ministry of Children and Family Development continues to use hotels in all regions of the province to house some children in care who have not been placed elsewhere. “You basically go to sleep in a hotel with one worker and wake up with another worker,” said Turpel-Lafond, who wants the province to disclose each time hotels are used. “Sometimes the kids sleep overnight in the after hours office (of the ministry,) which isn’t even as good as a hotel – they’re sleeping in an office.” Her chief recommendation is the province stop putting children with complex needs in inappropriate placements and that new residential services be created that aim for a loving family-style environment, not institutionalization.

He was diagnosed with various behavioural disorders and hospitalized for self-harm before entering government care and being placed in a foster home at age 15. The foster father didn’t want his own kids exposed to Dean so the youth was kept in a separate rental home that the dad staffed with workers he met through Narcotics Anonymous or the local coffee shop, with no criminal record checks conducted. One night worker turned out to be a sex offender who abused the boy, Turpel-Lafond said, calling it an example of a “shadow system of care” where kids who need the most attention are cast aside. “When we put the neediest kids in these ad hoc group homes that are one-offs where someone can hire someone from the Starbucks lineup or from their Narcotics Anonymous group to care for a child, that’s not good care.” It’s particularly troubling the

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes. The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities.

Hawks anxious for the Christmas break ▶ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM TO GET A WEEK OFF BEFORE MAC’S TOURNAMENT RICK KUPCHUK

Following a 6-1 loss on home ice, and just 10 days away from their first game in Calgary at the Mac’s Tournament, a weekend off is what the Valley West Hawks are looking forward to.

Valley West will go into the Christmas Break in fifth place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League, as the two points from the two games last weekend ensures the Hawks won’t lose ground when they enjoy a bye next weekend. Valley West erased a two-goal deficit in the first period Saturday, the pulled away with a three-goal third period for the win.

Malm, Justin De Vos of Surrey, and Ben Evanish of White Rock each had a pair of assists. “I thought we controlled the game from start to finish,” said Leung. “The few chances we gave up were Grade-A and they cashed in to keep it close. And I thought

the ref did an exceptional job controlling the game.” Sunday’s game got out of hand at times,

as the Hawks were assessed 107 penalty minuets to just 54 for the Canadians, which

led to four powerplay goals for the Vancouver team. “It was tough to get any sort of rhythm in the game with all the penalties.” said Leung. There were a lot of 10-minute misconducts were assessed, so you had players in the box for over 14 minutes at a time.” The Hawks coach suggested the players had to shoulder some of the blame for all the time spent in the penalty box. “I’d like to see our team be tougher psychologically,” he ex-

plained. “I think what we saw was a frustrated team taking exception to cheap shots, and getting caught on retaliation.” Evanish scored the lone goal for the Hawks, the first of the game. Valley West trailed 2-1 after the first period and 5-1 after the second. After taking next weekend off, the Hawks travel to Calgary for the 25-team Mac’s, which features the top Midget (15-17) teams from across Western Canada as well as elite teams of 15-17

year-olds from Ontario, the United States and Europe. Valley West has been placed in a five-team group that includes the German U17 national team and “some very good” Alberta squads. “I’m expecting our team to play desperate hockey as this is a tournament where a single mis step can cost you a playoff spot,” said Leung, noting only eight teams will qualify for the playoffs. “Through it all, I hope this is a team building experience for us.”

The Hawks split a two-game series with the Vancouver Canadians last weekend, winning 6-4 Saturday in Richmond before a one-sided loss Sunday at the Langley Sportsplex. “This is actually a good time for a break,” said Valley West head coach Jessie Leung. “With us going to Mac’s, this is a small pocket for our players to get family time.” At 13-7-4 (wonlost-tied) this season,

James Malm of Langley and White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis scored first period goals for Valley West, tying score 2-2 after 20 minutes. Barberis scored again in the first minute of the second period, and the Canadians replied just before the second intermission to knot the score 3-3.

Eagles can’t overcome penalties ▶ JUNIOR A TEAM LOSES TWICE TO LANGLEY RIVERMEN NICK GREENIZAN

On a weekend in which the Surrey Eagles gave up 12 goals in two games – extending their current losing streak to three – it was the penalties that overshadowed the team’s play. Surrey fell twice to their BC Hockey League rival Langley Rivermen – losing 6-2 Saturday and 6-5 Sunday – and if the rivalry needed a boost, Saturday’s tilt at the Langley Events Centre likely did the job. Langley jumped out to a 3-1 lead after 17 minutes, with Joe Drapluk scoring the lone goal for the visiting Eagles, but the final two minutes brought fireworks – a sign of things to come. With less than two minutes remaining in the period, Surrey’s Sam Chatterley and Lang-

period came when Langley extended its lead to 4-1 on a goal from Hunter Anderson. The action came to a head in the final 20 minutes, with Langley extended its lead further on power-play goals from Evan Anderson

and Ben Butcher, the latter another former Bird. Darius Davidson scored Surrey’s lone goal of the period, with just 27 seconds remaining. By the time of Davidson’s marker, few players from either team were left on the bench, with most having been sent to the penalty box or the dressing room. Between the two teams, 41 minutes in penalties – of the minor, double-minor and major variety – were handed out in the third, along with a handful of ejections. On the Rivermen side, Torrel was assessed a major penalty and an ejection after a second goalie-interference penalty – a play that sparked one of multiple melees in the period. Langley’s Butcher was also ejected in the third, as was Masellis and Eagles Cole Plotnikoff, Wiest and Spencer Meyer. Ten-minute misconducts were also handed out to six players, effectively ending their nights, as well. Sunday’s rematch was a much tamer affair, with just six minor penalties called between the two squads. Surrey took an early lead when Charleson scored a power-play marker 5:46 into the first period, but Langley held a 2-1 lead by the intermission on goals from Butcher and yet another former Eagle, Rivermen captain Kevan Killistoff. The Eagles tied the game in the second on back-to-back goals from Ben Vikich and Davidson, but Langley’s Justin Szeto put his team back in front late in the period with a power-play goal. In the third, Surrey answered early when Vikich scored his second of the game, but Langley quickly responded with three goals from Butcher, Torrel and Anderson. In the final 30 seconds, Davidson scored his second goal of the game to make it 6-5, but Surrey couldn’t get the equalizer before the final horn. Surrey is on the road this week, with a game tomorrow (Wednesday) in Vernon against the Vipers. On Friday, the Birds return home to host the Prince George Spruce Kings, before wrapping up their pre-Christmas schedule Sunday, with a home game against the Victoria Grizzlies.

Coming in from the cold at the Surrey Food Bank

KERA SKOCYLAS

The Surrey Food Bank (SFB) is welcoming clients this holiday season with a new way of doing things. Traditionally, people coming to the food bank have needed to line up outside the building – often for extended periods and in inclement weather. In order to bring people in from the cold, the SFB (at 10732 City Parkway) relocated food storage to an off-site building, freeing up space to bring clients and volunteers inside. “So far it has been a major success,” said Executive Director Marilyn Herrmann, “but we are taking small steps are learning as we go.” By relocating the food to a 31,000-sq.ft. warehouse nearby, it also allowed the SFB to set up multiple tables where clients can choose food items they prefer and that best suit their needs. “It is very important that our clients are treated with dignity and respect and they have the ability to choose,” Herrmann said. “Depending on what we have, our clients are now able to pick some items – fresh fruit and vegetables, cereal, juices. It provides our clients with a much nicer experience.” Adam Faria, 18, who has been a volunteer for one-and-a-half years, said the new set-up is an improvement. “People don’t have to stand outside in the rain and snow anymore,” he said. “Also, it’s easier for us volunteers to manage – we can see everything in one room. It’s much more open and organized.” Randy Roblin, 52, who is currently receiving a disability income, said he has used the food bank on and off during the last 25 years when work was slow. He said the changes are beneficial for everyone involved. “For my health, standing outside for an hour was really hard on me,” he said. “And I always felt sorry for the volunteers who stood there shivering trying to help us with a smile on their faces. “The food bank, to me, is the greatest thing Surrey has going right now. This is a really appreciated change.” Herrmann said they are working toward eventually giving clients the ability to choose every item in their hamper. “We haven’t done it this way before, but so far it has been fabulous. We had a vision and a plan and now we are trying to make it a reality. We want to provide even more for our clients.” The Surrey Food Bank also put on a fresh coat of paint, rearranged some rooms to create a better flow and set up office furniture which was donated from the former city hall.

Holiday giving in full swing The Surrey Food Bank has a big fundraising goal for the 2014 holiday season. As the second-largest food bank in B.C., which helps between 250-300 families every day, the SFB’s success is due to support from the community. Donations and volunteers make it possible for the food bank to exist, Herrmann said. “Our goal is to collect 500,000 pounds of food at Christmas and $500,000,” she said, noting the money collected now will help the SFB make it through most of next year. In order to help so many Surrey residents, the food bank relies on around 40-50 volunteers every day. And the positions are in demand. “We have a wait list for people and groups who want to come in and volunteer,” Herrmann said, “which is rare.” Volunteering here is addictive, Faria said. “I originally started doing community

hours, but it’s such an amazing place I just kept coming back to volunteer.” Faria said it is a great place to meet new people you wouldn’t normally get a chance to meet. Around Christmas time it is noticeably busier, with more volunteers coming through Faria said. “A lot of work groups – offices or banks – have their employees come in for a day.” The SFB is in need of proteins, healthy grains, pasta and pasta sauce. Also, money is helpful to purchase fresh produce fruit, vegetables, milk and eggs.
