Heather Bannah and her son Bruce, 3, beneath the Alex Fraser Bridge in North Delta. Bannah is predicting long delays on the Alex Fraser once the new Massey Bridge is built and worries about the impact that will have on her commute to Annacis Island from Cloverdale each day. EVAN SEAL
â–ś MASSEY CONSULTATIONS WRAP UP ON JAN. 28 from page 3
take a short cut around the main bridge line by taking the long Annacis off-ramp, turning around on the island and then rejoining Highway 91. Bannah can’t imagine how much worse it will get if thousands of additional drivers who normally take Highway 99 and the Massey Tunnel instead switch to the Alex Fraser to avoid paying tolls. “Everyone’s going to use it,� she said, adding many other workers on Annacis who live in Surrey and Langley are also worried. “I think I will need to buy a boat,� added Surrey resident Chris McArdle, who also works on Annacis. “Annacis Island is going to truly be traffic hell on Earth.� TransLink expects to charge tolls on the new Pattullo Bridge when its replacement opens. Stone has suggested that after tolling the Massey and Pattullo, tolls might have to be added at the Alex Fraser as well, but the government has yet to specifically commit to toll reform or outline how it might work. So the B.C. Trucking Association has given Stone a nudge, urging the province to begin discussing the idea more openly. “We have concern that we’re just going to be causing unnecessary congestion by tolling four out of the five crossings and stopping at that,� said BCTA president Louise Yako. That scenario would cause “considerable problems� for businesses on Annacis Island, which she said is a major hub for trucking companies and home to various industries and warehouses. “Conceptually, what we’re talking about is tolling all of the crossings,� Yako said. “The Second Narrows, the Lions Gate, Oak Street, Granville, Burrard – all of them. So that everyone pays a little bit to finance the large infrastructure projects that we all agree are necessary.� All of the region’s bridges will eventually need to be rehabili-

tated, rebuilt or expanded, Yako argues. She won’t say what she thinks is an appropriate toll amount for currently untolled bridges, adding that number will depend on a detailed accounting of the operating costs of the current transportation network and estimates of the need for future capital projects. But Yako suggested tolls be put on those crossings soon – before the new Massey bridge opens – rather than waiting for the completion of that project in 2022. She noted the harm caused by congestion is not limited to travel time delays. “When people drive further than they have to they’re producing additional emissions that are unnecessary and the further someone drives the greater the safety risk of a crash.�
the Port Mann toll in half and putting the same charge on the Pattullo Bridge would likely generate the same revenue as the Port Mann now does and greatly improve congestion in New Westminster and north Surrey, where many vehicles converge to take the free Pattullo. “That would eliminate the traffic diversion problems and it would give the truckers an opportunity to use the freeway they want to use without being priced out of using it,� Johnstone said.

Neither of the existing two toll bridges – the Port Mann and Golden Ears – are making as much money as was originally forecast, casting doubt on the debt repay‘Do it right now’ ment schedules. “You’re having a revenue leak right now Delta Mayor Lois Jackson also supports on the Port Mann – 20,000 people are just tolls on all crossings at much lower rates – the not showing up on the Port Mann, they’re sooner the better. showing up on the Pattullo instead,� John“I’d do it right now,� Jackson said, adding stone said. “people would understand� if blanket tolls He believes road pricing is “inevitable� were low enough. and a move as soon as possible to consistent “People would take a direct route rather than tolling along the Fraser could save drivers going around to save on the toll,� she said. tremendous amounts of time. “It would take the pressure off a lot of people So far Premier Christy Clark has shown no who are now scrambling around taking longer interest in the idea. routes to save on paying a toll.� Johnstone said it might also undermine Other mayors have proposed harmonized her government’s plan for the $3.5-billion bridge tolling before and it was recommended Massey replacement. as a potential pilot project for road pricing last Lois Jackson “Ultimately, if you toll the tunnel and fall by an economic think tank. all the crossings on the Fraser, we would Jackson hopes motorists support the idea by probably find the traffic demand for the providing feedback to the province in the Massey replacetunnel would go away and we would no longer require ment consultations, which wrap up Jan. 28.

Judge orders court transcript released in B.C. legislature bomb plot case ▶ CSIS LOSES BID TO KEEP HEARING SECRET AT TRIAL OF SURREY COUPLE ACCUSED OF PLANNING TO SET OFF BOMBS SHEILA REYNOLDS
Transcripts of court proceedings the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) was hoping to keep secret at the trial of a Surrey couple accused of plotting to bomb the B.C. Legislature are expected to be released this week. On Monday, despite objections from CSIS and the federal Crown, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce ordered the release of the transcripts from in-camera proceedings after several media outlets fought an application that they be sealed. Bruce said while she recognized the importance of an open court, she also acknowledged the risk of exposing someone as a CSIS source. “This is not a case where disclosure could just embarrass someone,” she said. “Disclosure could put their life in peril.” She said releasing redacted transcripts of the hearing and the ruling would serve both the media and CSIS. The exact substance of the hearing is unclear, but
Amanda Korody and John Nuttall were found guilty last summer of planning to plant bombs in Victoria on Canada Day in 2013. FILE PHOTOS media lawyer Dan Burnett said the judge indicated she needs to edit out information to protect a “human” source. John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were found guilty last summer in the 2013 plot to plant bombs in Victoria on Canada Day, but no conviction will be entered until Bruce decides whether the couple was entrapped by police. - with files from CBC

SHEILA REYNOLDS
The trial for a man accused of setting fire to a Surrey house while people were inside began Monday. Timothy Ralph Berg, 54, is charged with arson and uttering threats in connection to an incident last October when a house near 142 Street and 114 Avenue was gutted by fire in the middle of the night. At the opening of the trial in Surrey Provincial Court, Crown prosecutor Mike Fortino contended Berg had been calling acquaintance Debora Segal – one of the women in the house – throughout the day of Oct. 9, 2015 and when his calls weren’t answered, the tone of his messages changed.
He threatened to harm Segal and her friend Barbara Newman, but the two women didn’t take Berg seriously because they thought he was drunk, said the prosecutor. “They thought these were just the ramblings of a drunk man,” Fortino told the court. At about 11 p.m., a neighbour heard what sounded like a bottle rocket and though he saw grey smoke in Segal’s yard, didn’t see any fire. Soon after, the homeowner, Nathan Davidowicz, came home and went to bed, noticing nothing wrong with his house. At 1 a.m. on Oct. 10, Berg again called Segal’s phone, Fortino said. Newman answered and Segal told her to say she’d call back in 10-15 minutes. Berg, said Fortino, replied that Segal had five minutes to call back or he’d light the
house on fire. Segal returned the call but got no answer. She looked out the window and saw the porch on fire. As the fire spread, she, Newman and Davidowicz evacuated the home, as did nearby neighbours. Fortino contended that as police were speaking with Segal outside, Berg called her cellphone again. “He said… ‘I asked you to call and talk to me and you keep ignoring me and I told you I’d burn the house down if you didn’t f–––ing talk to me’,” Fortino told the judge. The blaze caused extensive damage to the house, which has since been demolished. There was also significant water damage to neighbouring homes from fighting the fire. Surrey RCMP Const. Andrew MacMillan was first to testify at the trial, saying that along
with his clothing, police seized Berg’s cellphone and a pack of matches after his arrest. Three of the matches were missing from the pack, MacMillan said, adding the phone smelled like “burned firewood” when he removed it from a bag later. Berg, he said, was “fairly belligerent” when arrested, smelled of liquor and was slurring his words. Berg remains in custody. Instead of observing the trial from the glass prisoner’s box, he asked to sit alongside his lawyer, Jackie Percival. His request was granted by sheriffs, as long as he agreed to wear ankle shackles. He spoke to his lawyer throughout the proceedings, waving to a friend in the gallery when he came in and out of the courtroom. The trial is scheduled to continue in February.

Shots fired into Newton home
KEVIN DIAKIW
Police are investigating after bullets were fired into a Newton home. Just after midnight on Monday, police were called to a home in the 9000-block of 123A Street after reports of shots fired. Shell casings were found on the road and bullet holes were identified in the home. No one at the house was hurt. Nearby residents heard the screeching of tires as the shooters drove away, but no one has been able to describe the vehicle.

Four pedestrians injured in the span of four days ▶ POLICE ISSUE ANOTHER WARNING AFTER DANGEROUS WEEK ON THE ROADS KEVIN DIAKIW
Another person has been seriously hurt after being struck by a car, prompting a warning from police. On Saturday, Jan. 9, just before 10 a.m., a 77-year-old woman was crossing 72 Avenue in the 12100-block. She was struck by an eastbound 2014 Nissan Sentra and suffered serious injuries. The driver, a 27-year-old male from Surrey, remained at the scene. Police do not believe speed or impairment was a factor in the accident. A day earlier, on Friday, Jan. 8, another woman was struck by a KIA minivan in Guildford.
At 7:30 a.m., the 25-year-old woman was crossing an intersection at 142A Street and 108 Avenue when she was hit by the minivan. She was thrown a considerable distance and sustained serious head injuries. She was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, a status which has improved marginally. The driver of the vehicle remained at scene and is cooperating with police. Impairment is not believed to be a factor. There was no crosswalk at the intersection. On Wednesday, Jan. 6, police responded to two other similar incidents where pedestrians suffered minor injuries after being struck by vehicles. The incidents took place in Newton and Cloverdale. Surrey RCMP’s Traffic Services Unit will be stepping up enforcement in some of the high pedestrian locations over the next few days to help spread the message further about pedestrian safety.

“Quite simply, if you are distracted or not paying attention to what’s happening on the road in front of you, you are dramatically increasing your risk of either being a victim or the driver involved in a serious pedestrian motor vehicle incident,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “For both drivers and pedestrians, it is a good time to review safety tips, including making eye contact with drivers before crossing and always being ready to yield to pedestrians.” In 2015, eight out of the 15 fatal traffic collisions in Surrey involved pedestrians. Over the past few years, more than 40 per cent of the fatal collisions in Surrey have involved pedestrians. ICBC notes that 75 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians occur at intersections during the winter months (November-January) and usually on Fridays between 3 and 6 p.m.

VIEWPOINT
The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday Januar y 13 2016
Upside of social media Social media gets a bad rap a lot of the time. Often it deserves it. Critics don’t have to look far for evidence of its – and our – failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a whole host of other negative attributes, including hatred, greed, envy, paranoia and racism. But it may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it is reflecting – just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with. Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat – but really it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it. And many of those individuals are basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article
or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty – whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist. Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit – evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology. Take the case of a father and daughter from Saskatoon en route to Victoria who lost almost all their belongings when someone stole their rented U-Haul truck and trailer in South Surrey just before New Year’s Eve. When their plight was posted on social media, many responded positively by sharing the post. They felt for the family in its predicament – identified with how it would feel to lose everything in the middle of
RAESIDE
a momentous, and no doubt stressful, household move. Mainstream media took notice, circulating the appeal for information on the missing truck and trailer both in print and on the airwaves. And good came of all the attention. An Abbotsford resident noticed a U-Haul truck apparently abandoned in a parking lot and called police. It turned out to be the missing truck, and while most of the family’s possessions were gone, some irreplaceable photos and other mementos – including urns of family members – were recovered. It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social media – particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.
Avatar sequel bombs near B.C. park BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
Avatar, the future-fantasy blockbuster that beat Titanic as all-time Hollywood box office champ, has finally been unseated by the latest Star Wars space opera. I watched Avatar on TV over the holidays for the first time since its 2009 release, and was able to see past the bombastic special effects to examine it for what it is: an anti-capitalist propaganda film. Psychopathic military commander teams with evil mining executive to blast and slaughter their way to a chunk of rare mineral, ridiculously named “unobtainium.” Giant tree, home of highly evolved Na’vi people and their delicate jungle ecosystem, is toppled for sadistic fun and profit, before nature’s collective strikes back. Canadian director James Cameron helped the global anti-development network use the movie in its celebrity attack on the Alberta oil industry. Now the story line is being employed again in B.C., in an effort to revive the 1990s’ “war in the woods” that led to the creation of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on
Vancouver Island. Protest tactics are being refined. Targeting just outside the boundary of the vast park established 20 years ago, giant trees are named and an Avatar-style narrative of unbridled greed is spoon-fed to urban media. There’s a “Tolkien Giant” now, although I’m reliably informed it is not one of those trees that gets up and walks around in the Lord of the Rings movies. This tree is also protected from logging, as are most of the poster trees used for propaganda and fundraising. The network uses multiple front groups. Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee stages urban protests and issues news releases, while Ecojustice lawyers fight forest company injunctions against direct actions that disrupt legal logging. An employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters. A 1990s remnant called Friends of Carmanah-Walbran issued a statement Nov. 9 announcing “autonomous action” by three protesters to disrupt logging. Not their guys, you under-
stand, just masked individuals willing to lock themselves to equipment or wander into a road-building blast zone, forcing work to stop for safety reasons. These are among the actions that forced the logging company to go to court for an injunction. Cast in the role of evil corporation is Teal-Jones Group, a B.C. forest company trying to operate in what is now the most environmentally restricted forest in the world. It keeps about 2,000 people employed in logging and its sawmills in Surrey, where investments have been made to handle second-growth coastal timber as well as what little old-growth they are allowed to harvest. Protesters have dubbed their latest target, the tiny 3.2-hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove” for media and fundraising purposes. Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey provided me some information to counter protester claims. Block 4424 isn’t being logged, although it was
permitted last fall. Protesters are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park. Teal-Jones has not only received permits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are independently certified by the Canadian Standards Association. A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protecting Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4. The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria courtroom, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Valley until the end of March. A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled. He will no doubt continue to issue news releases and write his own version for left-wing fringe publications that seek to perpetuate an urban culture of revulsion for logging. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

No windfall for TransLink ▼ TRANSIT COFFERS CAN’T CASH IN ON RISING PROPERTY VALUES: ACTING CEO
Property tax is an integral part of funding Metro Vancouver’s integrated transportation system and keeping it in a state of good repair. This includes our transit service (bus, SkyTrain, SeaBus, Canada Line, and West Coast Express) as well as maintaining, operating and rehabilitating the major road network and bridges that TransLink manages. In his column “Real estate’s rapid rise” (The Leader, Jan. 8), Frank Bucholtz suggests TransLink might seek to take advantage of the boom in assessed values to collect a larger portion of tax than it typically would. It’s important to note that, by legislation, TransLink’s property tax revenue is only allowed to grow by a maximum of three per cent each year, therefore the property assessment value does not impact the revenue collected for TransLink. For the homeowner, the percentage increase has been actually much less A letter writer says by legislation, TransLink’s property tax as the region continues revenue is only allowed to grow by a maximum of three per to grow with more new cent each year, therefore the rise in property assessment homes and businesses. values will not result in a larger portion of taxes being This has resulted in the collected by the transportation authority.

▶ WHAT’S BEST FOR SURREY: LRT OR SKYTRAIN? Why choose SkyTrain over Light Rail Transit (LRT) ? 1. SkyTrain is faster than LRT According to TransLink documents, a trip from Surrey City Centre to Langley Centre would take 22 minutes by SkyTrain and 29 minutes by LRT. 2. SkyTrain is safer than LRT According to the YouTube video “Destroyed in Seconds Houston Metro Rail,” there were 62 accidents in just one year on the LRT system in Houston, Texas. SkyTrain has been in Vancouver since 1985 and has proven to be a very safe system. 3. SkyTrain is cheaper than LRT Initial construction costs may be lower for LRT, but SkyTrain saves time and time has a monetary value. Tens of thousands of riders will save time every single day for 100-plus years. The value of time savings, according to conservative estimates, is $7.86 billion. (Visit http://bit.ly/1PjvCqV for full details). Other cities such as Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam have SkyTrain systems. SkyTrain stations also attract development. Just look at Metrotown, Brentford, Lougheed, Richmond Centre, Surrey Centre, Gateway and King George stations. Kuldip Pelia, SurreyBCnews.com
Light rail has major shortfalls In a previous letter (“LRT is the right solution for Surrey, The Leader, Dec. 23, 2015), Light Rail Links coalition chair Anita Huberman submitted three LRT “facts” which are misleading. Firstly, Huberman suggests we can’t get a better transit system for the same cost as 27 kilometres of LRT. But 17 kms of SkyTrain and 10 kms of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) could be built for the same cost. This proposal would offer faster service, better reliability, no transfers to Vancouver, and the most travel-time benefits with lower operating costs in the long run. Secondly, Huberman says that in a survey, most Surrey residents support LRT. No such survey has ever been released by Light Rail Links or the City of Surrey. Thirdly, Huberman claims the demand on King George Boulevard would equal that of Vancouver’s Broadway B-Line today and result in the same unacceptable overcrowding with rapid buses. A full BRT
system could use larger, double-articulated buses and offer a much higher capacity than Broadway’s B-Line. Light rail supporters have continued to disregard major shortfalls such as potential for vehicle-train collisions, lack of travel time reductions, lane loss on 104 Avenue, high operating costs and lower off-peak frequencies – while spreading myths such as how LRT will be “better for shaping communities” and whatnot. My organization has debunked 10 of these LRT myths at skytrain forsurrey.org/debunking-myths Daryl Dela Cruz, Campaign Chair SkyTrain for Surrey
SkyTrain model is obsolete The problem the SkyTrain lobby faces is simple: SkyTrain costs more to build, operate and maintain than LRT. No one builds SkyTrain anymore; only seven such systems have been built in almost 40 years. Modern LRT has made SkyTrain obsolete. That being said, I find the light rail plans for Surrey unworkable and expensive. In the real world, modern LRT is built on transit routes which see traffic flows in excess of 2,000 persons per hour, per direction. This is because one modern tram (one driver) is as efficient in operation as four to six buses (four to six drivers). With every bus or tram operated, one needs at least three people to drive, maintain and manage them. As wages account for over 70 per cent of a transit system’s operating costs, the savings that come with LRT are large enough to pay the operating costs and most or all of the capital costs of the line over a 25-year business cycle. SkyTrain does not see this kind of fiscal economy. However, the LRT in Surrey is being planned as a poor man’s SkyTrain and as a Canadian transit consultant told me, “not to best Canadian practice.” Herein lies the problem. TransLink is unable to plan for user-friendly, taxpayer-friendly transit and instead, plans for expensive vanity projects to satisfy politicians. Light rail is only good if it is planned properly and serves the transit customer’s needs, which I do not see happening in Surrey. Malcolm Johnston, Delta

Feds blamed for DNA cost ▶ PROVINCE TELLS CITIES TO TAKE PRICE COMPLAINTS TO OTTAWA JEFF NAGEL
B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says municipalities worried about a requirement that they start to pay part of the cost of police DNA testing should take their complaints to the federal government. The Union of B.C. Municipalities has urged its member cities and towns, which must pay a combined $2.9 million in new charges next year, to protest what it called a provincial decision. “Not only does this create additional pressure on local
ohopuesne
January 27, 2016
finances, the decision flies in the face of the ‘one taxpayer’ principle so often invoked by the provincial government,” UBCM president Al Richmond said in a letter to the province. “The cost shift to local government is both unwarranted and unfair.” But Anton said the cost shift stems from the previous Conservative federal government’s decision to pay less than before, not the result of any downloading by Victoria. “British Columbia has not changed its funding,” she said. “This is an increase that was imposed on B.C. and other provinces by the federal government, which is now requiring municipalities and the province
to pay more for DNA services, or lose the service altogether.” She said the province continues to make its standard annual contribution of $1.3 million a year and it has added a further $1.7 million this year to subsidize municipalities. But that provincial subsidy dries up next year under a federal-provincial agreement to apportion the costs, leaving more to come out of civic coffers. Meanwhile, the total cost to B.C. for DNA testing by B.C. police forces is to climb from $3.6 million this year to a projected $5.8 million by 2019. The extra annual costs for DNA testing are expected to be more than $400,000 for Surrey and about $80,000 in Delta.

‘Dozens’ of guns come via snitch campaign ▶ MORE THAN 200 ANONYMOUS TIPS: CRIME STOPPERS JEFF NAGEL
A snitch line campaign that aims to pry illegal guns from the hands of gangsters is yielding some early results after six months but it’s far short of a target of getting 500 firearms off the street in the first year.

The thieves broke into two trucks, damaging them and putting them out of commission. They also stole gear worth about $5,000. Since the incident became public, the community has rallied and raised significant funds for SSAR. There were numerous anonymous donations and $2,500 was contributed by the Port Kells Community
Association. One truck is now drivable an the other is in the shop being fixed. All equipment has been replaced thanks to the donations. As such, SSAR is back at work and was recently combing the streets to help find 63-year-old Jaswinder Singh, who was reported missing by police Jan. 7. Singh had suffered a brain injury and police were worried for his welfare. “I was up all night,� said SSAR Manager Trevor Bowkett. “He

It occurred around 9:30 p.m. Jan. 6 and ended when the car struck a Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) vehicle while attempting to flee north into Canada – in a southbound lane. Surrey RCMP Sgt. Paul Hayes said the Mounties were initially called by the CBSA for back-up, but subsequently took over investigation of the incident. A 46-year-old man was taken into custody following the collision – which did not result in serious injury – and later released on a promise to appear in court. Police believe that drinking and driving was a factor in the train of events that started when the driver drove into a restricted area reserved for trucks exporting goods.
Sgt. Paul Hayes Confronted by two CBSA officers in a marked vehicle, Hayes said the man tried to escape by driving north into Canada in a lane for U.S.-bound commercial traffic. “He was going against traffic, trying to get back to the Canadian side,â€? Hayes said. “The CBSA vehicle got ahead of him and he drove into the vehicle, rear-ending it. Luckily, nobody was seriously injured, although an ambulance was called, to check that everyone was okay. “We expect there will be impaired charges as a result of this.â€? A witness said U.S.bound truck traffic was diverted while the area was blocked.Â

run through the 22-team competition. “We play as a team, we work well as a unit. That’s our biggest strength,” said Panthers coach Curtis McRae. “At the end of the day, we had some great leadership and a ton of talent.” In a rematch of last year’s junior girls provincial championship game, won by the Thunder after they erased an eight-point deficit with a huge 34-4 run, Lord Tweedsmuir again took a lead into the second half. Only this time, the Panthers stayed in front, not allowing Panorama Ridge to get closer than 10 points over the final 20 minutes. “It was kind of a similar game, we were up big at half time, then they chipped away and chipped away,” said McRae. “Unfortunately, they got the best of us that game. continued on page 15
The Valley West Hawks had no trouble earning four points in Kamloops last weekend, scoring 17 goals in two games to defeat the Thompson Blazers by scores of 12-0 and 5-1. The victories kept the Hawks atop the standings in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. Their record of 20-5-1 (win-loss-tied) has them even with the Cariboo Cougars on points, but with two fewer games played. Valley West can take some huge steps towards nailing down top spot in the next couple of weeks. Next weekend, they will face-off against the third-place Vancouver Giants in a home-and-home series, then will play the Cougars twice in Richmond the following weekend. Against the Blazers, Valley West had no trouble dominating a team that has won just twice in 28 starts. Saturday evening, they led 3-0 after one period and 6-0 after two, then tallied six more times in the final period. Michael Farren scored five times and added one assist to pace the Hawks, with Justyn Gurney adding a pair. Josh Bruce, Michael Farren of the Valley West Daniel Chifan, Carson Franklin, Hawks scored seven times in a pair Ben Evanish and of games against the Thompson Christian Bosa Blazers last weekend in Kamloops. netted one goal BOAZ JOSEPH each. Luka Burzan contributed with three assists. Valley West waited until the third period of Sunday’s game to pull away for the victory. Evanish had the visitors up 1-0 after one period, and added his second of the game midway through the second period to break a 1-1 tie. Farren notched a pair early in the third period, then Franklin closed out the scoring. James Malm had a pair of assists. The Hawks will visit the Vancouver Giants (16-6-4) Saturday evening at the North Shore Winter Club, then play a rematch Sunday morning at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

Wildcats seek a third RCMP Classic title RICK KUPCHUK
The Tamanawis Wildcats will once again be the team to beat at the
Surrey RCMP Classic, the annual all-Surrey senior boys high school basketball tournament
which is now in its 25th year. The Wildcats won a second consecutive RCMP Classic championship last year, edging the Southridge Storm 73-65 in the tournament final. The title was the third for Tamanawis in a fouryear span. Tamanawis is currently fifth in the provincial rankings in Senior 4A, the highest category in B.C. high school basketball. In their lineup are Grade 10 point guard Miguel Tomley and Grade 12 forward Sagar Dulay, two Wildcats who were all-stars at last year’s RCMP Classic. Southridge, currently ranked second in the provincial 3A rankings, will make another run at the school’s first-ever all-Surrey championship. Led by Hunter Hughes, a six-foot-seven forward who was the RCMP Classic’s Most Valuable Player a year ago, the Storm have made the move from Senior 2A to the 3A level, to give a challenge to a team head coach Steve Anderson says is “the deepest we’ve ever had. “This year, our team is very skilled, very athletic, very dedicated,” said Anderson. “They want to excel.” Other teams which could be in championship contention when the semifinal round starts Friday evening

The Vancouver Giants continue to gain ground in the Western Hockey League (WHL) playoff race. A three-game road trip to central Alberta didn’t slow the Giants, who won twice and are now 9-3-1 (win-lossovertime loss) in the past four weeks. After a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings Wednesday (Jan. 6), Vancouver topped the Calgary Hitmen 5-2 Friday night then edged the Red Deer Rebels 6-5 in overtime Saturday. Now at 17-21-5 on the season, the Giants have moved out of the Western Conference basement and are now within three points of a wild-card position. The Oil Kings scored once in each period, and outshot the Giants 44-27 on their way to a win last Wednesday. Thomas Foster netted the only goal for the visitors, one which tied the game 1-1 late in the second period. Friday in Calgary, special teams helped power the Giants to a win over the Hitmen.

EDMONTON OIL KINGS PHOTO Veteran Chase Lang scored a shorthanded goal 14 minutes into the game, then assisted on Brennan Menell’s powerplay marker in the final minute of the opening period for a 2-0 Vancouver lead. Ty Ronning tallied twice in the second period, which ended with the Giants enjoying a 4-1 advantage. Carter Popoff scored into an empty net with four minutes remaining in the game, then Calgary got one back with two minutes left to complete the scoring. Popoff also assisted on
Ronning’s two goals. Calgary outshot the visitors 36-31. Ryan Kubic made 17 saves in the Vancouver goal for the win. The Giants found themselves playing against a Red Deer team which has the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, but escaped with a win Saturday. Lang netted Vancouver’s first two goals of the game, then Alec Baer, Dakota Odgers and Ronning added to the goal total. Ronning’s tally with 15 minutes remaining in the game put the Giants up 5-3,
but two Rebels’ goals in the final minute forced overtime. Ronning netted his second of the game four minutes into extra time, giving the Giants the win. Kubic was a standout in the Vancouver goal, stopping 43 of 48 shots, including two in overtime. Vancouver directed 31 shots at the Red Deer net. The Giants will be at home twice next weekend, before a pair of games early in the week south of the border. Vancouver will host the Everett Silvertips Friday night
▶ TOTEMS WIN LADDER DIVISION FINAL from page 13
Today, we were able to hold the lead.” Lord Tweedsmuir extended a 15-point halftime lead to as many as 21 points early in the second half, before the Thunder tried to make a comeback. A 10-point run had the Thunder within 11 with eight minutes remaining, but Panorama Ridge couldn’t cut the difference to single digits the rest of the way. “It’s almost as if when we got to within 10, we started to relax,” said Thunder head coach John Sowerby. “And that’s what they did. There’s no way we should have gotten into that hole. We just stopped running.” The Panthers, who have placed in the top three five times previously at the Fire Fighters’ Classic, didn’t change their game plan when the Thunder were cutting into their lead. Instead, they just picked up the pace. “We just stayed within our system and worked hard, we stuck with what we do well,” said McRae. “We preach it, no ‘hero basketball,’ we look for the best pass, the best play possible. And in turn, it will come back to you when you’re
open.” Leading the way offensively for Lord Tweedsmuir were Maryn Budiman with 20 points, Ali Norris with 17 and Shelvin Grewal with 15. The Thunder got 33 points from Sav Dhaliwal, and another 16 from Arman Sahota. Budiman won the tournament’s Best Defensive Player award, with teammate Emma

Norris, Dhaliwal and Panorama’s Zainab Khan were named to the 15-member Surrey Fire Fighters’ Dream Team. The Fraser Heights Firehawks placed third, defeating the Holy Cross Crusaders 65-60 in a consolation game played by the two losing semifinalists. Emily Pearson led the Firehawks with 20 points, with Madison Bergen adding 14. Juliana Babic
was the top scorer for Holy Cross with 24 points. Bergen and Babic were named to the Dream Team. In the Ladder Division final, Sabrina Hou and Maya-Jade Kooner netted 14 points each to lead the Semiahmoo Totems to a 60-42 win over the Guildford Park Sabres. Angela Shih tallied 13 points for Semiahmoo, while Hellen Odong scored 27 points to lead the Sabres. Odong was the Ladder Division’s Most Valuable Player, and the Sabres were named the tournament’s Most Sportsmanlike Team. Other members of the Dream Team were Amina Gill of the Enver Creek Cougars, Simi Lehal of the Fleetwood Park Dragons, Chelsie Shokar of the North Surrey Spartans, Georgia Paterson of the Princess Margaret Lions, Pavleen Gill of the Quaan Elizabeth Royals, Kara Lauer of the Semiahmoo Totems, Anuy Randhawa of the Tamanawis Wildcats, Cairo Chapman of the Earl Marriott Mariners, Daughter Achan of the Kwantlen Park Timberwolves, and Elizabeth Hicks of the Clayton Heights Night Riders.

Giants Head Coach Lorne Molleken. “He’s a left-handed shot which is something that we’re short on at the point.” Brown, a native of East Olympia, Washington, has three goals in 136 career WHL games. Kichton is currently playing with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

“The project pushed us all to the limits but was one of the coolest experience in my undergraduate career. Learning about project management in class and immediately implementing our knowledge for such a worthy cause was so fulfilling.” Last year, Masri was awarded the Canadian Cancer Society’s Community Champion Award in recognition of his efforts in spearheading the 25toLife project. “There is no better way to learn about project management than putting business education into action, and the 25toLife project is a perfect example of experiential learning benefiting a worthwhile organization,” said Masri. “The Canadian Cancer Society has been very supportive of the students over the last three years, and they deserve a lot of credit for the success of the project.” For more information on the 25toLife project, visit twentyfivetolife.ca
