The

Leader BRINGING JOY TO THE WORLD ▶ THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AT SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL TREATS SOME OF THE TINIEST PATIENTS IN B.C. SHEILA REYNOLDS

As the designated Regional Pediatric Centre in the Fraser Health region, Surrey Memorial Hospital offers specialized and unique care to babies, children and youth from Burnaby to Hope. In the coming weeks, The Leader provides an inside look at how B.C.’s second-largest hospital has grown and adapted to treat its youngest and most vulnerable patients. Joy Elizabeth Anonby couldn’t wait to make her debut. Her parents and two older brothers were eager to meet her, too. But they weren’t prepared – yet. It was April 7, 2015 when Joy decided to take centre stage and emerge from her mom’s womb. The length of a man’s shoe, she weighed about as much as a bottle of water. Eleven days earlier, complications had landed mom Kirsten Anonby in hospital. “Keep that baby in,” doctors urged her. Joy only complied for a weekand-a-half and was born at 25 weeks A LEADER SPECIAL SERIES – nearly

KIDS

Kirsten Anonby holds her daughter Joy Elizabeth Anonby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital. The little girl was born nearly four months before she was due and needed specialized care for months until she grew bigger. EVAN SEAL four months before her due date. At just under 36 centimetres (14 inches long), she weighed one kilogram (2.2 pounds). With a pair of boys already running in circles at home, Kirsten and her husband David thought they were relatively prepared to welcome a third child. Until they had a preemie. “After having two normal babies, it’s a very different,” said Kirsten. “You don’t get to hold your baby. You don’t get to smell her head.”

Unlike her other births, the Surrey mom was also greeted by an army of hospital staff, including doctors, nurses, neonatologists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, feeding specialists and more. “I was amazed how many people wanted to come talk to me when Joy was born,” smiled Kirsten, who called Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

home for about three-and-a-half months. “It functions communally in that sense.” At birth, Joy was considered a Level 3 preemie, meaning she wasn’t able to breathe on her own and required a ventilator and feeding tube, as well as blood pressure and other medications. continued on page 18

▶ POLICING APPROACH USED IN SURREY AND DELTA SHOOTING SPREE TO BE STANDARDIZED JEFF NAGEL

Emerging police tactics to disrupt gangs that have helped fight violent crime in the Lower Mainland will be applied province-wide. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said mandatory provincial standards are being developed that will require all police forces and partner agencies to work together under an anti-gang policing model that targets prolific high-risk offenders. It’s been evolving for about three years, but top Mounties say the goal is to ensure the same methods of intelligence sharing and anti-gang enforcement are used across the province, so a Lower Mainland gang meets the same resistance when it tries to stretch its tentacles out to northeastern B.C. or the Okanagan. “My goal is to attack them where they are in the northeast part of the province, in the centre of the province and in the Lower Mainland simul-

taneously,” RCMP E Division Asst. Comm. Wayne Rideout explained at a news conference in Surrey on Wednesday. But he said the new model can also shape police strategy in dealing with specific criminals by helping officers determine which ones may be ready to exit gang life as well as those who are junior members now but destined to become leaders. “We want to disrupt their current trajectory and we want to disrupt them years before they achieve power and influence,” Rideout said, describing it as a long-term “campaign approach” to tackling gangs. Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said the model proved its value earlier this year when Surrey, Delta and Abbotsford police worked together to counter street-level gangs that were on a public shooting spree in Surrey and Delta. “These collaborative efforts resulted in over 5,000 people being checked, 700 people being arrested or detained, along with the seizure of 22 firearms and 134 vehicles,” Hackett said. Charges were laid against several suspects, including one who police allege handed a loaded gun to a youth to hide

for him. Just one incident has been linked to those warring Surrey-Delta crime groups since mid-June, Hackett said, after more than 30 public shootings incidents in the spring. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth questioned why an enforced standard from the province is necessary to get police agencies to fully cooperate. “Most people would reasonably expect it would already be taking place,” he said. Anton denied there is any lack of cooperation between police forces that has prompted the mandatory standard, insisting B.C. forces have better coordination than any other jurisdiction. She said police so far have tended to use community-specific approaches that can vary. “What we are doing now is taking the lessons learned from best practices developed with our provincial anti-gang unit, and sharing that learning and those standards with police around B.C. so that everyone has access to the same effective approaches.” All police forces in B.C. are to adopt the new standards, as are other agencies such as sheriffs, corrections officers and the Canada Border Service Agency.

MONEY MYTHS

South Surrey-White Rock MP Dianne Watts said she is not opposed to resettling Syrian refugees in Canada – but that it must be done “with due diligence and an abundance of caution.” “Most certainly the biggest issue – and it has been my issue all along – is in terms of the time frame,” the new Conservative MP said last week, noting that she has had first-hand experience with practical issues of refugee resettlement during her 10 years as mayor of Surrey. “Bringing people into the country is easily done, but alongside that we need to do the diligence in heightening the screening process. We also have to make sure we have the funding and resources in place to ensure refugee families have the support they need when they’re here.” (On Tuesday, federal Immigration and Refugees Minister John McCallum revealed plans to slow the intake of some 25,000 Syrian refugees to 10,000 by the end of December, with the rest resettled through January and February). But while some members of the Conservative caucus have been unreservedly critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s original commitment to bring all of the refugees into Canada by Jan. 1, 2016 – MP Candice Bergen tweeted she is “embarrassed and sickened” by the Liberal leader for his stance on refugees and Canada’s ISIS mission – Watts said she has no issue with the general principle of accepting refugees. “But there’s no need to rush it, let’s just do it right,” she said,

adding that the Syrians Canada is looking at resettling are currently in refugee camps, already removed from the violence in their homeland. In a press conference following the G20 Summit in Turkey last week, Trudeau told media the government’s refugee commitment has “in no way weakened our resolve to ensure first and foremost that Canadians are kept safe.” RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson and CSIS director Michel Coulombe had both gone on record as saying it is feasible to safely screen that number of refugees by the end of the year. Watts – who received flak in her home riding during the election campaign for a Conservative party flyer issued on her behalf that stated, “We will fight Jihadist terrorists at home and abroad” – said she has not received feedback that indicates her constituents are against accepting refugees. But she said that resettlement involves some “very complex issues,” which can include families receiving help with health and mental health concerns, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and making sure children are properly streamed into the education system. The necessary support “is multi-faceted, and needs to be secured and in place,” she said, while noting that “a lot of community organizations are prepared to step ▶ “We need to up and help.” do the diligence The CBC has reported that Canada’s refugee plan will focus in heightening on accepting women, children the screening and families first to avoid security risks posed by single men seeking process. ” asylum.

▼ ‘LET’S JUST DO IT RIGHT,’ DIANNE WATTS URGES

The federal Liberal government has retreated from its campaign promise to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, announcing Tuesday it has pushed that target back two months. The aim now is to have 10,000 of the refugees in Canada by the end of December, with the rest arriving in January and February. “Yes, we want to bring them fast, but we also want to do it right,” Immigration Minister John McCallum said, adding that was the clear message he heard from Canadians. “There are a lot of moving parts here. So we are happy to take a little more time because that allows us to be more prepared.” McCallum said it’s important not just to welcome incoming Syrian refugees “with a smile” but to also equip them properly. “We want them to have a roof over their heads, we want them to have the right support for language training and all the other things that they need to begin their new life here in Canada.” All refugees will be processed overseas and undergo biometric data collection, detailed interviews and rigorous screening checks against multiple security John databases, said Public Safety McCallum Minister Ralph Goodale. Any concern, discomfort or doubt will prompt screeners to move on to candidates without red flags, he said. Women, children and families are to get priority ahead of single men, unless they identify as LGBT or are part of a family unit. The government isn’t setting any religious preference. “We choose the most vulnerable whatever their religion might be,” McCallum said. He predicted Syrians coming to Canada will include significant numbers of Christians living in Lebanon or Jordan but outside refugee camps, acknowledging concerns that Christians avoid the camps.

He added Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps is “very keen to receive refugees, not just for Victoria but for other places on Vancouver Island.” McCallum said his vision is to distribute refugees relatively evenly across the country, if possible. Although the government won’t have control over where refugees ultimately stay, it will

The refugees will arrive mainly via commercial flights, but military planes are also on stand-by if needed. They’ll initially land in Toronto or Montreal before going to various cities across the country. Up to 3,500 of the Syrian refugees are expected to come to B.C., with many of them settling in Metro Vancouver. About onethird are expected to set down

avoid sending one family by itself to a community, instead dispatching them in clusters of perhaps 10 if there are no existing family links. “So they will have some people in their own community as they go to this new place,” McCallum explained. He said “many” privately sponsored Syrian refugees could also come to Canada in 2016 over and above the federal target of 25,000 primarily government-sponsored refugees.

“The issue is not people just looking at young single men in their 30s or under – that could be a very different process,” she said. Watts said that her appointment to the Conservative “shadow cabinet” as critic for infrastructure and communities will also allow her utilize experience she gathered during her years as Surrey mayor (during that time she spearheaded the Build Surrey construction and investment initiative and served a term on the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation). “It touches on everything I was working on, both in Surrey and in the Lower Mainland,” she said. She said she is looking forward to examining at the issues on a national level, noting that Trudeau has mandated development of a 10-year plan for infrastructure that includes everything from public transit to social and green infrastructure, as well as the Build Canada program, which covers such development as ports and border facilities.

Wildlife rehabilitation centre brimming with bears in care â&#x2013;ś DONATIONS NEEDED TO HELP CUBS IN CRISIS MONIQUE TAMMINGA

In Gail Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 years of rehabilitating wildlife, she has never seen anything like this season when it comes to the number of injured or orphaned bear cubs she has taken in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are at capacity for bears,â&#x20AC;? said Martin, founder and executive director of the Langley-based Critter Care Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, located in Campbell Valley Park.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 31 bears, but we lost six due to severe starvation. They were eating plastic and metal before they got to us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so sad,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x2013;ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 31 bears, but we lost six due to severe starvation. They were eating plastic and metal before they got to us.â&#x20AC;? GAIL MARTIN

Critter Care is used to taking in around a dozen bear cubs each year and has enough space to accommodate that number. But now they have cubs waiting while volunteers scramble to get another enclosure ready to house the animals. Â The bears are coming from all over B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Merritt and Squamish to Maple Ridge. They are a bit older than the cubs that Critter Care usually takes in, and they are severely starved. Another cub arrived from Whistler on Tuesday.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;This truly was one of the worst food years for bears, with berries coming out too early and the forest fires, it was a tragic combination,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a result of

hunting and poaching. The mother bears are being killed, leaving the cubs to fend for themselves.â&#x20AC;?Â Habitat encroachment and bears being hit by vehicles are adding to the challenge in B.C., she said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem that many say the provincial government needs to address. Recently, however, Premier Christy Clark said she would not review the legality of trophy hunting in B.C., stating it is a economic driver.Â The Conservation Officer Service has seen cuts in recent years, with officers having to cover wide swaths of territory, from Hope to Whistler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conservation officers are doing a good job. They get a bad rap but as busy as they are, they are still finding time to bring us bears in need,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like us in animal rehabilitation, their job is to deal with more than just bears, but all wildlife.â&#x20AC;? Martin said she is willing to make room for more bears, because she knows there is a need. But to do so, she would need fencing companies to pay for the enclosure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around $100,000 for the fencing. Fencing companies could come in and get it set up fast. That would be amazing,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said come spring time, the cubs will be big and then â&#x20AC;&#x153;they

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Are you offering help to the Syrian refugees who are coming to Canada? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

CBC PHOTO

Last week we asked: Will you be supporting or relying on the Surrey Christmas Bureau this year? Here’s how you responded:

Supporting 59% Relying on 41%

Land of generosity The Sikh community is stepping up to the plate to ensure that Syrian refugees get off to a good start when they come to Canada. Liberal MP Randeep Sarai, who represents Surrey Centre in the House of Commons, convened a meeting last weekend to see what support could be offered to the 3,000 refugees who are expected in B.C. within the next few months. About 30 representatives of various organizations have pledged a wide variety of support, from accommodation to transportation, to child care and education. Services for children are of particular importance. Surrey is expected to be the destination for many of the refugees, perhaps 1,000 or more. School and child care spaces are in short supply here. Surrey’s continuing growth and large number of young families means expansion of such services is constantly falling behind. Khalsa School, which has two campuses in Surrey, has offered free tuition for a year for up to 1,000 students. This very generous offer would take a great deal of pressure off the public school system in Surrey. Khalsa School already operates an extensive bus system to bring students from all over the Lower Mainland to its campuses, so

transportation would also be taken care of for students. In addition, the Sikh community, which has organized as the Sikh Societies of B.C. to help the new arrivals, is offering 100 child care spaces. These will be greatly appreciated by single parents in particular, who will be dealing with a lot of meetings and other situations, which are difficult to manage without child care. The organizations have pledged to find free housing for up to 200 families. This too will relieve a lot of pressure, as housing is both hard to come by (particularly for refugees) and expensive in the Lower Mainland. Housing that is close to schools and public transit will be particularly welcomed. Various Sikh gurdwaras in Surrey and other communities are collecting food, blankets, clothing and other supplies from members of their congregations. “Welcoming others, newcomers, was part of their life, whether they knew them or not,” Sarai said of the generosity pledged by the societies. “Whether immigrants came from India, or whether they were refugees in tumultuous times in the 1980s, the Sikh way, the Canadian way, was always to give them a home, help them at the temple and help feed them.”

Many other organizations are also working hard to prepare for the influx of refugees. The Liberal government has backed off its campaign pledge to have 25,000 admitted to Canada by Dec. 31, but still expects that many people to have arrived here by Feb. 29, 1016. Thus far, it appears that individuals and community organizations are far ahead of the government in making preparations for the refugees and they are determined to make them feel welcome. This type of generosity is important. Thus far, 2.1 million homes, 7,000 schools and half of Syria’s hospitals have been destroyed. As many as 250,000 are dead and 7.6 million are displaced within Syria, and another four million have fled the country. Syrian refugees have endured terrible ordeals in the past four years and the type of welcome they receive here will be key in making it easier for them to adapt to life in a new country. The Sikh organizations are a fine example of Canadian generosity. That generosity is one reason so many people from all over the world have come here.

Straight Outta (Our Townhouse) Complex PINK LAUNDRY ▼ Kristyl Clark

The kids were finally asleep, the house was quiet and Tucker was tuckered out on the sofa, furry belly in air. “Isn’t this nice?” said my husband, Jason, putting one hand on my knee, the other reaching for the remote. Neflix, a big buttery bowl of popcorn and chilled Chardonnay were on the agenda, but plans were about to change – fast. “Whoooo!” screeched a voice from outside our living room window. Followed shortly by a “Oh no, he’s going to....” Then came the sickening sound of a body hitting the pavement. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” said the exasperated hubs, who pressed pause on our short-lived plans to escape the responsibilities of parenthood. “This can’t be happening. Again.” Turns out our youthful neighbours decided to throw another big bash while mom was out of town. And this one oozed out onto the street, threatening to

wake up our bambinas, taunting daddy bear to come out of his cave and growl. He was met with a flurry of crop tops, skateboards and red solo cups – not a single “adult” in sight. While I’m sure a handful of the partygoers were of legal age, some didn’t look a day over 15, including the intoxicated boy on a scooter. The mom in me immediately noticed he wasn’t sporting a helmet. Some might argue that a teenage house party is a rite of passage – one that many would turn a blind eye to. Why not just shut the window and close the blinds? After all, it wasn’t all that long ago that Jason and I were both teenagers. But once you pop out a couple kids, it’s not as easy to drown out the fact, even with Chardonnay, that these kids were putting themselves in danger. It’s even harder to ignore the thought that these youngsters could be our own

darling daughters in the very near future. God help us. We decided to go the “cool” route first and unleash papa bear. “Hey guys, we just got our kids to sleep. Do you think you could all go inside and turn down the noise?” asked Jason. His pleasantries worked for around five minutes and then the chaos resumed in full force. The second house call was a little more curt. “If you don’t keep it down we WILL call the police,” growled Jason. “What did that F&! #$% say to me?,” roared a tough guy from the balcony, being physically held back by friends. The third call wasn’t to the party – it was to the cops. Luckily for the teens, they decided to shut down the soirée soon after.

We watched as some rolled off into the blackness of night on scooters and skateboards – sans helmets. Others climbed into what I’m guessing were their parents’ mini-vans. Once again, all was quiet, except for the nagging worries that played like a movie reel in my head starring our kids, a future Molly and Zoe. One day, not too far down the road, I’m sure our two darling daughters will attend a house party. I can only hope that there is an “uncool” nosy neighbour or two supervising from afar. And if said person wants to call the cops, please be my guest. One night in the drunk tank sure beats a serious injury. Or worse.

▼ COUNCIL IGNORED SURREY’S OWN DEVELOPMENT POLICIES FOR ‘SENSITIVE’ TRANSITIONS

We’re running out of mere ordinary days

Our quiet Grandview Acres neighborhood has been severely impacted by high-density overdevelopment, so we were relieved when Surrey council approved our request that the area be rezoned to “Rural Designation” last September to protect our acreages from further piecemeal development. (For a detailed overview of the process, visit www.GrandviewStewardship.org). When it comes to land development, it is widely acknowledged that municipalities have an obligation to grant existing homeowners adjacent to new subdivisions meaningful input as part of the development process. Municipalities are also obliged to protect existing neighbourhoods from encroaching overcrowding and overdevelopment by creating an appropriate buffer of similar frontages, density and design on the periphery of adjacent high-density subdivisions. Unfortunately, on Nov. 16, council gave final approval to a high-density duplex development directly across 26 Avenue from our single-family homes, despite the fact that 350 of our neighbours signed a petition opposing the plan. In the process, once again council ignored Surrey’s own development policies regarding “sensitive” transitions between established suburban neighbourhoods and new urban subdivisions, which is confirmation that the city’s policies are toothless when it comes to protecting the rights of homeowners. This decision sets a horrible precedent for Surrey residents faced with the prospect of green development notification signs across the street.

▼ ‘SPECIAL’ 24-HOUR SLOTS ARE QUICKLY BEING CONSUMED With Black Friday here, followed by the Christmas season, I begin to worry about my days. I am fully in support of various causes and events of awareness, but our 24-hour slots are quickly being consumed by “special” days. Failing to stem the tide ,we risk finding ourselves with a day shortage. Cyber Monday, Toonie Tuesday, Superbowl Sunday and Seniors’ Thursday leave only Wednesday, Friday and Saturday unclaimed. Boxing Day, Halloween, Valentines Day, Worldwide Celebration of Weights and Measures Day, Wookie Life Day and others are quickly eliminating ordinary 24-hour stretches. Weeks are also falling prey to unilaterally declared causes: Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Global Entrepreneur Week, Worldwide Breastfeeding Week are examples. With fewer weeks available, conflicts are arising. The UN-declared World Space Week finds itself at odds with the Marijuana Users Association, which wants to use the same time slot for World Spaced Week. However, Geography Awareness Week organizers have gone into talks with their counterparts at the Directionally Challenged Week offices. Both groups are hoping for a mutually productive collaboration. Months are no exception to the onslaught. October was declared 4-H Month, as well as American Cheese Month and Menopause Month. Novembers competition sees Banana Pudding Lovers, Pecan Eaters and Novel Writers all vying to have this same slot as their own. Future conflict can be assured. I submit that we

end this penchant for special days, weeks and months. To have a simple Saturday where there are no concerns other than sitting at leisure would be satisfying. A mundane Monday where I do no more than mumble about the morons around me would be marvelous. Weeks without World Alliance groups waving placards and months devoid of declarations of various sorts seems desirable. Act now before the days, weeks and months of your calendar are as gone as your choices.

Cop fined for lying Bank robber loses appeal about car crash â&#x2013;ś TOLD ICBC THAT ANOTHER DRIVER WAS INVOLVED VIKKI HOPES

An Abbotsford man who is an RCMP officer in Surrey has been fined $2,500 for lying to ICBC about how he crashed his pick-up truck in Cloverdale two years ago. James Steven Baker was convicted last month of providing false or misleading information related to the crash that took place Dec. 10, 2013. His sentencing was last Friday (Nov. 20) in Abbotsford Provincial Court. According to the written judgment when he was convicted, Baker was driving his black Dodge Ram pick-up on 64 Avenue at about 5:35 a.m. when the incident occurred.

Baker claimed he was struck by another vehicle before he fishtailed into a ditch, but the Crown argued that the crash involved only Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck and resulted from him driving too fast for the winter road conditions. A City of Surrey salt truck driver testified that no other vehicle was involved. The driver stated that Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck had passed him on a median on the left and lost control when he tried to merge back into the right lane. Further evidence showed that there was no damage to the left side of Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle and the damage that did exist wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consistent with being struck by a car cutting across its path from the left side, as the accused had suggested.

â&#x2013;ś JUSTIN PAQUET UNSUCCESSFULLY ARGUED TWO OTHER MEN WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 2012 HEIST SHEILA REYNOLDS

A man found guilty in an armed bank robbery in Surrey three years ago has lost an appeal of his conviction. A judge found Justin Dwayne Paquet, 26, guilty in June 2013 of robbing a TD Canada Trust in Whalley on Dec. 2, 2012, with his face masked and using an imitation firearm. Paquet filed an appeal, arguing his conviction should be overturned. During the trial, Paquet admitted to giving the police a false

name when he was arrested, but denied he had committed the robbery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a stance corroborated by a witness, David Byrd, who testified it was him and a second person whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d robbed the bank, not Paquet. The judge, however, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe Paquet or Byrd, who had shared a jail cell together on two separate occasions. Following a hearing in the B.C. Court of Appeal in October, the appeal was dismissed in a judgment posted online Nov. 20. In it, Justice Richard Goepel details that two masked individuals entered the bank that day in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an incident that was captured on video surveillance. The robbers were given $7,500, but one of them also took $165 he saw sitting out. The

small stack of cash, it turned out, was decoy money that included a GPS device that activated when picked up. When Paquet was arrested, he was in possession of much of the decoy money. The GPS also provided police with accurate information about where the thieves were, and when, after they left the bank. The Appeal Court justices agreed with the trial judge that there was not sufficient time for all the traveling and exchanges of money that Paquet alleged took place prior to his arrest 20 minutes after the robbery. (Byrd, it was noted, was already serving a lengthy sentence and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot to lose by giving false testimony). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The circumstantial evidence was over-

There was ample evidence to support that conclusion. The suggestion that the verdict was unreasonable and unsupported by the evidence is without merit.â&#x20AC;?

Shots hit Newton home â&#x2013;ś INTENDED VICTIMS NOT COOPERATING KEVIN DIAKIW

Shots rang out in Newton earlier this week, as bullets were fired into a home on Monday night. On Nov. 23 at 11 p.m., Surrey RCMP received calls from people who say they heard gunshots in the area of 14200 Street and 62A Avenue. Witnesses then saw a suspect, described as a South Asian male wearing a mask,running from the area. Police also received calls from within a residence reporting that shots were fired towards two people who were in the garage. The two intended victims are known to police and it is believed that this was a targeted attack. At this point, the victims are not being cooperative with police. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca

A Tuesday to give ▶ SURREY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL LOOKS TO DONATIONS FOR INSTRUMENTS; ALSO COLLECTING FOR FOOD BANK BLACK PRESS

With Black Friday upon us, and Cyber Monday around the corner, one Surrey school is looking at giving back on GivingTuesday. Surrey Christian School is spending Dec. 1 collecting money and instruments for its music program and the installation of three water fountains for students. The school is also making extra efforts to collect and donate items

for the Surrey Food Bank, for which it collects year-round. Donations to the food bank from students and the public will be shipped before Christmas. GivingTuesday originated in the U.S. as a day dedicated to giving back and as a counterweight to the post-American-Thanksgiving shopping season. It promotes volunteering as well as financial support to non-profit groups. Organizer Clara Atagi says the school’s goal is $60,000 and that donations can be made online at http://www.surreychristian.com/ giving-tuesday-december-1/ The school has donation bins for the food bank at 8888 162 St.

Bad marks for province on TransLink ▶ POLL ALSO FLAGS DISAPPROVAL ON FOREIGN HOME BUYING, BC FERRIES JEFF NAGEL

The B.C. government gets its worst marks from voters on its handling of TransLink and the issue of offshore money pouring into Metro Vancouver real estate. That’s one of the findings of a new poll released by Insights West. Just 10 per cent of B.C. residents surveyed said they approve of the province’s decisions on TransLink, and 83 per cent in Metro Vancouver have a negative view. Transit expansion re-

mains mired in political gridlock after voters rejected a proposed 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax to fund improvements. The province requires another referendum for any new TransLink tax. “If the vote was a rejection on the way TransLink operates – which definitely it was – there really hasn’t been a lot of movement on how you are going to be changing things down the road,” said Mario Canseco, Insights West vice-president. Peter Fassbender, the minister responsible for TransLink, has ruled out major governance reforms. On the province’s response to the issue of foreign ownership of housing, just 12 per cent of B.C. residents said they were satis-

fied, and 73 per cent in Metro disapprove. The province has faced repeated calls to deter the inflow of foreign money, blamed by some for helping drive up Vancouver-area prices. The government is studying its options. It has so far indicated it will avoid any measure that reduces the equity of existing homeowners, but may possibly add an extra tier of Property Transfer Tax when high-end homes change hands. As with TransLink, Canseco said the high disapproval rating shows the issue cuts beyond voters who generally oppose the B.C. Liberals. “It’s not a situation that it’s just affecting those who are more likely to support the Greens or the NDP,” he said. “Even your own

base is saying this is a file you need to deal with.” Seventy per cent also disapproved of the province’s management of BC Ferries. On Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline proposal, 57 per cent said the government has done a bad job. The government scored better on its handling of crime and public safety, the economy and jobs, and on energy pipelines and liquefied natural gas – it had 30 to 35 per cent approval on those issues. The only recent decision of the government to get significant support was its reforms to the sale of alcohol – 42 per cent said it did a good job. The economy and jobs remains

the top ranked provincial issue, followed by health care, housing/ poverty/homelessness, government accountability and the environment. The poll found 39 per cent of decided voters would support the NDP if an election were held today, compared to 34 per cent for the B.C. Liberals, 16 per cent for the B.C.

TransLink nudges more passengers to Compass ▶ MORE FAREGATES CLOSE AS END LOOMS FOR PAPER PASSES JEFF NAGEL

TransLink closed more faregates on SkyTrain last in recent weeks to spur Compass card-carrying passengers to remember to tap off. And it says December will be the last month when transit users can buy an old-style paper monthly pass – all users of those passes

will have to switch to Compass cards for January and load the pass onto their account. That’s expected to push still more riders onto Compass as the payment card’s phased roll-out continues. Spokesperson Jennifer Morland said TransLink expects about 100,000 Compass users to ultimately load monthly passes, down from around 130,000 in the past with paper passes. The decrease is because some are expected to decide the “stored value” option on Compass

is a better option for them. In November, 29,000 monthly passes were loaded on Compass, so the bulk of the

expected monthly pass conversions is still to come. A continuing challenge during the transition is that Compass

users who forget to tap off get charged the maximum threezone fare even if they travelled only one or two zones. That resulted in a blizzard of complaint calls in the first week of November, forcing TransLink to reimburse several thousand affected passengers. The numbers have subsided but Morland said about 30 per cent of passengers are still forgetting to tap out. “We know this is a big change for our customers and it is going

to take some getting used to,” Morland said. Asked if there’s potential for false requests for refunds, Morland admitted TransLink has no way to tell for certain that an overcharge complainant really exited after one zone and didn’t ride further. “Without them tapping out it isn’t possible for us to see exactly where they’ve crossed,” she said, but added TransLink’s focus is on education and “making it right.” Most passengers who request fare adjustments for a forgotten tap out only call once, she said. “Once they make that initial call and have that adjustment they’ve learnt what they need to do to pay the correct fare and we’re not seeing repeat calls.”

If passengers appeared to be repeatedly seeking adjustments to scam the system, Morland said, “that’s something we’d monitor and look at on a case-by-case basis.” As of Nov. 21, two faregates were closed instead of just one at most stations on the Millennium and Expo Lines. It’s hoped that will provide an extra visual cue to tap out. More gates may close and TransLink intends to eventually close all gates, although it has no timetable for doing so. TransLink has not yet said when it will stop selling prepaid FareSaver tickets – which would no longer work once the final gates close and would have to be converted to credit on Compass. “Stored value is really the new FareSaver,” Morland said. “We are encouraging our customers to make that change now.” More than 300,000 Compass cards have been activated and TransLink expects that number to climb to about 500,000. Tap-outs are not required on buses, where riders pay only one zone fare regardless of how far they travel.

Fabulous finery for a fantastical fairy tale ▶ EXPERIENCED TEAM DRESSES THE CHARACTERS FOR FRASER VALLEY GILBERT & SULLIVAN’S PANTOMIME PRODUCTION OF JACK AND THE BEANSTALK ALEX BROWNE

Imagine a panto that looks just like a big pop-up children’s fairy tale book. That’s the design concept Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society is going for in its latest Christmas pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk. Directed by Mike Balser, and produced by Lyn Verra-Lay, it returns to traditional territory – after a few experimental years – with a tried-and-true British panto script of the fairy tale favourite, last produced by the society in 1988. “That was the first FVGSS panto I was involved in, with all the family,” costume co-supervisor Linda O’Donovan recalled fondly. And she and co-supervisor Chris Roberts, both South Surrey residents, have been more than happy to supply a costume plot for the show to match the set design of Omanie Elias’ (Balser’s spouse). “She’s amazing; a wonderful scene painter,” said Roberts. “She does it for a living.” “We’re lucky to have her involved in the shows through being married to the director,” added O’Donovan. Other regular production veterans include Tim Tucker (musical director), Carol Seitz (choreographer) and props mistress Maxine Howchin. O’Donovan and Roberts added it feels like old times to be reunited as the core of the costume team, missing only the presence of frequent team supervisor Melody Dickson (who has a few too many claims on her time to

SELLING YOUR HOME

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

How to assess property value to determine selling price By Nicolle Hodges

Pricing a house correctly is the most important factor when looking to sell; you don’t want to overprice or undervalue. However, the process of achieving that golden number is not so simple, partly because real estate prices tend to fluctuate quickly. It's important to consult a variety of resources to appraise your home's current value. A house is meant to be lived in, but it shouldn’t look that way when trying to sell it. While every nick in the wall and stain on the carpet may tell a story, it’s time to prepare the home for a new chapter. The goal is to showcase the property and to appeal to a wide audience of potential buyers. It’s important not to allow an emotional attachment to those four walls create a bias towards the home’s true market value. According to Bruce Robinson, Partner at Hugh & McKinnon Realty, pricing a home is not an exact science. “You consider what is sold, what is on the market today (your competition) and fit your property into the market at a

level that you feel is competitive,” he says. “The primary method for determining the value of a property is to compare it with other homes that are on the market, along with homes that have sold and homes that might have been on the market that may not have sold.” Determining a competitive asking price for your home will be based on the current housing market information. The closer your asking to market value, the higher volume of offers you’ll tend to receive. As for tips when assessing a home’s value based on its current state? “There is no one thing that covers all properties,” says Robinson, however, get rid of clutter, clean garages, weed the gardens touch up of paint where required.” Beyond the home, some factors to take into consideration when determining the price point include the location, the view, lot size, landscape, and presence of wildlife. As previously mentioned, the condition of the home also matters. Is the layout out-dated? When is the last time renovations

were completed? Consider the quality of construction, finishes, and fixed appliances, the age of the home, whether it requires major or minor upgrades, and if there any signs of deterioration. Finding the perfect selling amount is one step, but knowing when to put it on the market is another key factor to success. To this, Robinson says that historically spring was always considered the opportune time to place a home on the market, however, the last few years the season doesn’t appear to make much of a difference. “We think it’s more important for an owner to consider where they are moving to, as it’s easier to sell today than it is to buy,” he says. “Make sure you have a place to move to before you enter a contract to sell, [there is] nothing worse than selling, and then having to pay a premium to get back into the market.” Some additional resources to consult for guidance are: The Multiple Listing Service (MLS): This is a database that tracks homes that have been bought and sold. Your home's sales history: You

bought the home at the listed price for a reason. Think back to what was appealing to you about the home and how it compared to other houses on the market and in the neighbourhood at that time. Local listings and open houses: Read local ads and visit open houses for guidance. Trends: Use local and national news to monitor changes in real

estate prices. Keep an eye on mortgage rates, the overall health of the market, and other similar factors that may affect a buyer’s confidence. Hugh & McKinnon is one of the longest established Real Estate Companies in the Province; in addition to property sales they manage both Residential and Commercial Property in South West BC.

Shelter from the storm ▶ LOCATED INSIDE SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, RONALD MCDONALD FAMILY ROOM PROVIDES A WELCOME PIECE OF HOME FOR FAMILIES WITH KIDS UNDERGOING MEDICAL TREATMENT SHEILA REYNOLDS

Vir Mohan and Conny Robles with daughter Selina at the Ronald McDonald Family Room inside Surrey Memorial Hospital. Selina was born a month-and-a-half early and the couple found respite in the room – which is located just steps down the hallway from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. EVAN SEAL

Having a loved one in the hospital can be an anxious time. If it’s your child, the stress is only compounded. When Conny Robles and Vir Mohan had their daughter a month-and-a-half early, she weighed under five pounds. Their premature baby required close monitoring and help breathing and was taken straight to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). continued on page 20

▶ ‘THE FIRST TIME I HELD HER WITHOUT (THE RESPIRATOR), I CRIED...’ from page 1

Premature babies are categorized based on age and weight, as well as their respiratory, neurological and cardiovascular status. While Level 1s don’t need a lot of support, Level 2s usually have trouble breathing and require extra intravenous nutrition. Babies born at Level 4 are critically ill, requiring surgeries or with heart defects, and must be treated at B.C. Children’s Hospital. SMH and Royal Columbian Hospital have the only NICU wards in the region able to provide around-the-clock care for Level 3 infants, which often come from across the province. Located in the Critical Care tower that opened at SMH in 2014, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is divided into four “pods” with 12 rooms apiece, allowing for 48 premature babies to be housed at one time. One of the 12-bed wings is not yet open, but there are still between 25 and 32 preemies on the ward on any given day. The previous Surrey NICU ward had just 20 beds and was routinely at or over capacity, often with families sharing rooms. All the rooms on the new ward are private and large enough to accommodate twins. The state-of-the-art facility is designed to not only consider health care workers’ needs, but those of the baby and parents. The touches are subtle, like light fixtures on the wall that shine upward so as to not glare down on newborns lying in incuba-

When Joy Anonby was born prematurely, she was the length of a man’s shoe and weighed about as much as a bottle of water. PHOTO SUBMITTED tors or bassinets. Sound-proofing panels surreptitiously line the rooms, which are furnished with sofa beds and recliner chairs for breastfeeding. “We found the facility here to be amazing,” said Kirsten. There’s even a neonatal and pediatric pharmacy down the hall, specializing in preparing the proper medications and precise doses for the hospital’s tiniest, most vulnerable patients. Due to Joy’s high level of need, Kirsten spent many long

weeks in the NICU, routinely staying overnight three to four times a week, the back-and-forth travel between home and hospital made easier by the fact her family lives in Surrey. (Parents also have the on-site Ronald McDonald House as a respite. See sidebar). The length of a baby’s stay in the NICU can vary from hours to several months, depending on their health needs. Kirsten recalls the many milestones as Joy grew and gained strength. Holding her new daughter – usually tucked safely in her incubator – rated high, but was still scary with the web of breathing, feeding and monitoring lines and cables still attached to her little body. It was “lovely” the day Joy came off the respirator. “The first time I held her without that, I cried… I got to touch her head,” Kirsten said. Nurse Brenda Haan, a clinical nurse educator at SMH since 2001, said staff inevitably bond with the families and their tiny bundles. “We get attached to those babies,” she says, smiling and acknowledging that depending on the family’s circumstances, nurses may spend more time with the infants than their parents. When Joy finally got the okay to go home, she was over three-and-a-half months old and weighed more than eight pounds. Wide-eyed and attentive, she was able to hold her head high – ready to make another big entrance: at home.

With five other daughters – three still living at home – the couple’s life was thrown into disarray. On top of worrying about baby and mom’s recovery, there were other children to care

for, meals to make, dogs to feed and a home to run. Then they discovered Ronald McDonald Family Room. “When I walked in, it was so overwhelming,” said Robles. “You feel like you’ve been out in the rain

and someone puts a blanket over you. It was like a little piece of home.” Indeed, the facility, located just steps down the hallway from the NICU ward, feels like the inside of a house, complete with a large kitchen and din-

ing room and lounge spaces with couches and coffee tables. There’s also a play area for children, TV and computer stations, laundry facilities and four private bedrooms with showers if parents need to stay on site overnight.

Opened in mid-2014, it’s so far used mainly by families of infants being treated in the NICU. With the ward being one of only two serving highneed preemies in the region, parents sometimes don’t live nearby. “They have everything. I couldn’t imagine it unless I saw it with my own eyes,” said Mohan. “For me, it was really nice that I could go home, feed the dogs, see the kids, bring dinner back here and eat here. “I love this place. When I went home, I missed it.” The good news for Mohan and other parents is they can reconnect with the family room staff and other parents at monthly teas held at the Ronald McDonald facility. It’s a chance for families to connect, compare notes and often, reassure one another during often frightening times with their newborns.

ON WEDNESDAY: SURREY’S KIDS-ONLY ER Holding their nowhealthy daughter, Selina Liya, her thick black hair adorned with a crown barrette, the couple vows they’ll give back to the family room either by volunteering or donating. “You don’t realize how amazing it is to have a little place here – a chance to have a little family time,” Robles said. “It was like a lifesaver.” The area is open for families to come in and out of from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day and the overnight sleeping rooms are booked based on greatest need. About 400 volunteer hours are required each month to run Ronald McDonald Family Room. Those interested (must be 19 or older) can email volunteer@rmhbc.ca. To donate, check www.rmhbc.ca

Local kicker in Grey Cup ▼ FORMER SURREY RAM SEAN WHYTE SUITS UP WITH THE EDMONTON ESKIMOS NICK GREENIZAN

Winnipeg in late November isn’t likely to be on many people’s list of preferred destinations, but Sean Whyte wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The 30-year-old Edmonton Eskimos kicker – a White Rock native and former Surrey Ram – is in the Hub City alongside his teammates, and on Sunday will square off against the Ottawa Redblacks in the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup championship. “It’s surreal, but I’m just trying to open my eyes and take it all in,” Whyte told The Leader Wednesday. “It’s just really cool to be here, but it’s hard to believe. Even just going out to the stadium today for practice, I looked around and was like, ‘Wow, we’re really doing this.’ ” While getting the chance to play for a championship is a big moment for any athlete, this year’s Grey Cup has even more significance for Whyte, considering where he started the season – and where he very nearly ended up. Whyte, a Semiahmoo Secondary grad, began the year with the Montreal Alouettes, the team on which he’d played since 2011, when he was traded by his hometown B.C. Lions. Despite being the team’s starting kicker since his arrival, Whyte soon found himself in a backup role with the Als, and eventually was cut from the team altogether. “It was mentally draining and it kind of took the love of the game away from me a little bit,” said Whyte, who is in his ninth season in the league. “I went home and I was actually about to start a new job. But luckily, the same day I was going to hand in my resume and get ready to take some classes, Edmonton called me. “Coming to this team has completely rejuvenated me. Football is fun again.” It was never more fun Sean Whyte than it was Sunday, when Whyte’s Eskimos defeated the defending Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders 45-31 in the Western Final to advance to Sunday’s big game. Whyte kicked three field goals in the victory. Over the years, there have been plenty of Grey Cup games that have come down to a single game-winning field-goal attempt, but Whyte insisted he won’t dwell on that possibility, nor is he nervous should such an opportunity present itself. What he does admit, too, however, is keeping his eye on the weather – specifically any wind which could wreck havoc on his kicks. “I’ve been looking at the weather for the last two weeks in anticipation of this,” he laughed. “But I think it’s going to be OK – good football weather.” Whyte’s family is joining him this week in Winnipeg, and will be at the game Sunday. “To be able to share this with them is really special – I know they’re all very excited. It’s going to be really fun week, and I want to go out there and win.”

Local contingent chases Vanier Cup with T-birds ▼ UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA TO PLAY FOR CIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN QUEBEC CITY RICK KUPCHUK

The day after winning the Uteck Bowl ink Antigonish, Nova Scotia, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds boarded a bus to make their way to Quebec City. Considering the CIS (Canadian Intercollegiate Sports) football team had just earned a berth in the Vanier Cup national championship game, it could have been assumed a celebration would have made the trip seem shorter. It didn’t. “It’s still 10 hours,” said offensive lineman and North Delta native Ethan Sadowski. “Normally, the day after a game go for a run.” After their 36-9 romp past the St. Francis Xavier X-Men last Saturday afternoon in a national semifinal game, the T-Birds have one more game to play. Tomorrow (Saturday) they will kick-off against the Montreal Carabins.

Manitoba Bisons 52-10 in the Canada West semifinal then stunned the Calgary Dinos 34-26 in the Canada West championship game on Nov. 14. Calgary ripped the T-Birds 41-16 in the regular season’s “It’s not quite the same, it’s first game, and was unbeaten a little bit different,” said Sadin league play. owski of playing in the Vanier “After a loss to SaskatcheCup. “I won’t find it too hard to wan (49-25 in Vancouver), it stay focused.” opened up our eyes to the poSadowski is one of five tential we had,” said Watson, players from the who emerged Surrey/North Delta as an offensive ▶ “We just area on the T-Birds threat this roster, enjoying knew what season. “On a lot the unexpected of teams, players we needed to postseason run. have potential In addition to the do.” and don’t do Seaquam Seahawks much with it.

their first national championship since 1997, when the T-Birds defeated the Ottawa Gee Gees 39-23 in Toronto. Sadowski will play the game like it’s any other. But he also knows being in a championship game is something special. “We won the B.C.’s (provincial championship) when I was a Grade 9 (at Seaquam) in Senior AA,” he said. “We were always projected to go far in the playoffs, and we did go far, but we never won another championship. “Not a lot of guys get this chance. And for some guys, this could be their last game.” It was hard for Sadowski to put a finger on what turned the season around for the T-Birds. A defensive lineman for his first three seasons at UBC, he missed the first half of the season due to injury, then returned to play on offense at the midway point. Watson, who had a team high 57 receptions and 763 yards in his second season as a receiver, said not looking too far ahead continued on page 24

Surrey schools qualify for provincial tournaments ▶ CLOVERDALE TEAMS WIN FRASER VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIPS NICK GREENIZAN

Surrey schools will be well represented at the provincial high school volleyball championships next month, after securing a handful of podium spots at Fraser Valleys. Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and Clayton Heights Night Riders won the senior girls quad-A and AAA Fraser Valley banners, respectively, while Earl Marriott saw its two senior sides finish on the podium as well, as the AAA senior boys and quad-A girls each finished third. Fraser Heights Secondary rounded out the Surrey medal haul, as the north-end squad placed second at AAA senior boys championships, losing in the finals to Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators.

Lord Tweedsmuir’s Rachel Johnson spikes the ball against Elgin Park defenders Naomi Nassey (5) and Erin Schrack (13) during a game Fraser Valley Championship Tournament at Elgin Park Secondary. EVAN SEAL At the girls AAAA tournament, Tweedsmuir – the top-seeded team – rolled to victory with a quarter-final win over Walnut Grove and a semifinal win against South Delta. In the championship game Friday night in South Delta, the Panthers edged Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids 3-2 (25-21, 17-25, 25-11, 19-25, 15-10) to win the

banner. Earl Marriott won the bronze-medal game 3-0 over Terry Fox Secondary, and like their Cloverdale counterparts at Tweedsmuir, will be among the 16-team field at AAAA provincials, which are set to run Dec. 2-5 at Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo. “We finished third, and we qualified for provincials, so I’ll take

it,” said longtime EMS coach Mark Cassell. At the AAA level, Clayton Heights captured the banner after a come-from-behind win over their rivals from Fraser Heights. The Night Riders beat their north Surrey rivals 3-2, despite trailing 1-0 and 2-1 earlier in the final. The game mirrored a regular-season tilt between the two teams, Clayton Heights coach

Gord Houchen said. In that contest, Clayton Heights also rallied for the win after trailing early. “The girls have a lot of heart, and I think that developed right from that first game (against Fraser Heights),” Houchen explained. “They knew that they could come back from being down 1-0 or 2-0. They showed that (resilience) all year.” The Night Riders have played in four of the last six Fraser Valley finals, winning twice. Clayton Heights’ Liz Hicks was named tournament MVP, while teammates Veronica Plonis and Josi Delasi were named to

the all-star team. Clayton Heights will now move on to AAA provincials – as will Fraser Heights – which are set for Vernon, Dec. 3-5.

AAA boys At the Fraser Valley AAA senior boys championships, Earl Marriott ended up third, after winning the bronze-medal match over Surrey Christian. The Mariners – who had already qualified for provincials earlier in the week, by virtue of a win in quarter-finals – defeated Surrey Christian 3-1 Thursday night. Tyson Smith was named to the tournament all-star team. Marriott was bumped

from gold-medal contention after a 3-0 loss to Fraser Heights in semifinals earlier last week. EMS will now prepare for provincials, which run Dec. 3-5 at the Langley Events Centre. Though they’ve played the entire season with a short bench – just nine players, two of which are Grade 10s – the team received a boost when senior Allan Hogg returned to the team after focusing on other sports earlier in the school year. “He didn’t play too much – we’re working to get him back up to speed – but the guys welcomed him back with open arms,” said EMS coach Dave Dooley.

Myths & realities:

You wanna roll like a gangster? ▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of ﬂux with internal competition for leadership roles.

As important as they are, trees and other plants can cause significant power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can be very dangerous, which is why over the next few months, we’ll be pruning and removing trees and other plants in Surrey Area. Project boundaries: EU ▸ CFS

Sunday cost us.” Valley West easily handled the Royals Saturda night, leading 3-0 and 6-1 at the period breaks. Colten Gerlib, Justin De Vos, Mitch Savage, Justyn Gurney, Christian Bosa, Oliver Alcock, Carson Franklin and Luka Burzan were the goalscorers. Ilijah Colina earned three assists, with Burzan, Josh Bruce, Ben Evanish and Michael Farren collecting two each. Sunday’s game saw the two teams play an even game through 40 minutes, before the Royals scored two unanswered goals in the third period. South Island opened the scoring midway through the first period, then Evanish scored 34 seconds later to tie the game 1-1. Again the Royals went up by a goal early in the second period, with the Hawks replying with goals by Boza and Bobby Russell 40 seconds apart for a 3-2 lead. South Island tied the game 3-3 before the second intermission, and pulled away in the final frame. “It’s a tough lesson to learn,” said Leung. “But at the end of the day it’s a good lesson to learn.” The Hawks will get a chance to show if the lesson was learned this weekend. They host the North Island Silvertips for two games at the Langley Events Centre, facing off Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The Silvertips are in 10th place in the 11-team league with a 2-13-3 record.

was important. “We were definitely taking it one game at a time,” he said. “After a 2-2 start, we just wanted to get back to Calgary (for the CIS final). So each game was basically a playoff game.” Now, there’s one game left, a nationally televised contest for a national championship. “It’s a Vanier Cup final, but I just have to do my job and not try to do more than what’s needed,” said Sadowski. “I just need to be there when plays need to be made.”
