Leader ALEX FRASER BRIDGE CHEATS FUEL ROAD RAGE ▶ ‘DANGEROUS’ CONGESTION ON ANNACIS ISLAND HAS DELTA MAYOR LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS JEFF NAGEL

Fury Road might be a better name for Cliveden Avenue on Annacis Island. Workers on the island say they can no longer cope with growing road rage incidents there and crazy congestion. It’s all because of traffic cheaters who use the island to cut around the southbound line-up to cross the Alex Fraser Bridge. Every afternoon rush they stream down the Annacis off-ramp from the Highway 91 Connector onto Cliveden, where they use business parking lots to make a quick U-turn and head back up onto the bridge. continued on page 4

▼ EDUCATION BRIEFS

School architects chosen despite lack of funding SHEILA REYNOLDS

The Ministry of Education hasn’t provided funding for two much-needed elementary schools in the Clayton area of Surrey, but the school district wants to be ready to break ground when they do. Two architects have been appointed to design a pair of new elementary schools: Clayton Village NE and Clayton Village NW, both in the rapidly growing Cloverdale neighbourhood. However, neither has been funded by the provincial government as of yet and construction can’t begin until that happens. The school district’s theory is that when the money does come, no further time will be wasted on making plans, such as securing an architect, and construction can begin immediately. It’s not the first time the district has taken such steps. For example, architects were appointed in 2013 for a new Grandview Heights area high school and that project is still awaiting provincial support. Six firms were interviewed for the two elementary school projects. ThinkSpace Architecture was appointed for Clayton Village NE and Craven Huston Powers was chosen for Clayton Village NW.

Surrey’s secretary-treasurer retiring Wayne Noye, the Surrey School District’s secretary-treasurer, plans to retire at the end of the school year. Noye, a Certified Management Accountant, was promoted to the position in 2005, moving up from assistant secretary-treasurer – a position for which he was hired in 1997.

Gene technique gets results against cancer ▼ 75% OF ONCOLOGISTS IN B.C. ARE PARTICIPATING IN RESEARCH PROJECT, SELECTING AND REFERRING PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER THE PROVINCE TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government is investing an extra $3 million to expand a program that tailors cancer treatment to the genetic make-up of individual patients. The B.C. Cancer Agency is ramping up its Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) project after seeing encouraging results, including reversal of some cancers thought to be all but untreatable. Researchers cautioned that the technique isn’t a cure for cancer, but it has been effective in identifying drugs that can reduce a life-threatening condition to a manageable chronic illness. Dr. Janessa Laskin, the cancer specialist in charge of the POG program, said three-quarters of the oncologists in B.C. are now participating in the program, selecting and referring patients from all over the province. The technique is “the future of oncology,” and the goal is to keep expanding it until every cancer patient can be assessed, Laskin said. Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake announced the additional funds at the B.C. Cancer Agency in

Vancouver last week. Clark said the intent is to increase funding further in the coming years for a program that is attracting international interest and financial support. The agency highlighted patients helped by the technique. A 41-year-old non-smoker, Jennifer Strack described her shock at being diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer 18 months ago. Strack underwent five rounds of conventional chemotherapy with little effect, as tumours grew in her lungs and spread to her liver. The POG program identified one drug that was not effective, but Strack began taking another one that halted the growth and reduced the tumours. Laskin said the genetic testing identifies drugs that would otherwise never be considered. Zuri Scrivens was treated at age 33 for breast cancer, and when it reappeared two years later she was enrolled in the POG program. Her cancer went into remission after a diabetes drug was used in combination with a breast cancer drug. Since clinical trials began in 2012, more than 350 patients with 50 different types of cancer have had their genetic material studied in the program. With private donations through the B.C. Cancer Foundation, the new government funds and international ▶ Technique is grant support, the target for POG “the future of is to enrol 2,000 patients in the next five years. oncology...” For more information on the DR.

Elected officials and employees in the Surrey School District will continue to receive 54 cents per kilometre for car mileage reimbursement. Trustees voted Thursday night to keep the rate the same as last year’s. The figure is based on a review done each December by the feder-

al Department of Finance, which prescribes rates for automobile operating expenses. For 2016, the federal rate has been reduced by a penny, to 54 cents per kilometre. If an employer pays a higher rate, the entire amount of the reimbursement must be reported as a taxable benefit for the employee.

The Surrey Board of Education invites your submissions regarding program and service priorities as the board considers its 2016/2017 operating budget. Each year, the board works to sustain priority programs and services to support students across the district. As was true in past budget planning cycles, district needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government grants. This means there are difficult choices to be made in order to achieve the balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best way. In coming weeks, the board will meet with employee groups and community stakeholders, including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details of the budget challenge and to obtain input. Other community members are welcome to submit ideas, questions and suggestions regarding board priorities and potential budget reduction ideas by writing to: Mr. Wayne Noye, Secretary-Treasurer School District No.36 (Surrey) 14033 – 92 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3V 0B7 Telephone: (604) 596-7733 or Email: budget@surreyschools.ca Written submissions should be received no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, February 26, 2016.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday Januar y 20 2016

Another bitter lesson learned on the road Few things cut so deeply into a community as the loss of young life. When two 18-year-olds died Jan. 10 after their truck went off an icy road and plunged into the Fraser River, it was an incident that resonated in Surrey – just as it did all across the Lower Mainland. The two high school grads were returning from birthday celebrations for one of them when the crash took place in Chilliwack. Only last year, three young men were killed on Highway 1 west of Hope when their vehicle also left the road. No one can doubt that both crashes could just as easily have happened here. The truth is, we have had more than our share of incidents in the past where the potential of a young life was stolen by a traffic accident. Too many families in our

community remain scarred – emotionally, if not physically – by similar tragedies. Last year, a woman had a lucky escape in Surrey when a truck driven by a 17-year-old male smashed into a bus stop where she was waiting. A similar incident, in which a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old girl also plowed into a bus stop, ended the life of 22-yearold Evan Archibald. In 2014, Clayton Heights Secondary students Cody Kehler and Chantal MacLean, both 17, were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 10 in Delta. They were on their way to a Thanksgiving Day dinner. As painful as these stories are, they need to be shared, to remind anyone who will listen of the sometimes deadly power that a motor

RAESIDE

vehicle possesses. Driving is an immense responsibility that even seasoned drivers take for granted. The vehicles are comfortable; the ride is smooth. However, the physics remain immutable. According to B.C. Automobile Association statistics, roughly 54 young people will die each year in motor-vehicle crashes. Thousands more sustain injuries that can affect them for the rest of their lives. Nothing will bring back the lives lost on icy roads, at bus stops or along the highway. But the tragedies offer an opportunity to have a conversation – with ourselves and the people we love – about the risks that exist every time we turn on the ignition.

Things that are going well in B.C. BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

In the early days of this new year, readers have advised me to do several things. I’ll go with one that seems relatively painless, embracing the “sunny ways” of our new federal government and seeking optimism in these fragile times. For starters, we have a building boom going on in the southwest. Here in Victoria, cranes dot the skyline as new residential-commercial projects emerge from bedrock, and hard hats are mostly on construction workers, scratched and backwards, rather than shiny and forward on politicians. Shipyards are busy, with Royal Canadian Navy work and cruise ship refits to reduce their emissions, plus work on ferries, tugboats and barges. Most of the activity is private investment, much of it in a hot housing market. Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building permits in history, a value of $1.46 billion nearly matching the pre-recession peak of 2007. Thousands of provincial employees get a small raise in February, based on

stronger than forecast economic growth in 2014. It works out to $300 a year for a medical technologist and $346 for a teacher. Health care costs are rising less dramatically. That should ease the crisis atmosphere at provincial and federal health ministers’ negotiations over the funding formula, taking place this week in Vancouver. Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week that the province is increasing funding for a promising program in cancer research, using genetic analysis to improve targeting for drugs to treat the hundreds of different cancers diagnosed in B.C. patients each year. The B.C. Cancer Agency’s new director, Dr. Malcolm Moore, oncologist Dr. Janessa Laskin and Dr. Marco Marra, director of the agency’s Genome Science Centre, described a world-leading centre of research that is reaching out to specialists and their patients across the province and attracting international funding and talent for ground-breaking research.

Outside the urban regions, where retail sales and real estate mainly drive the economy, sunny ways are harder to find. The mining and natural gas sectors are in the grip of a slump in commodity prices, with more temporary mine closures expected. The forest industry is being helped by the low Canadian dollar and a steady recovery in the U.S. economy, and tourism is expected to have another strong year as Americans take advantage of a discount on visits to B.C. Central 1 Credit Union broke down the regional employment numbers for B.C. in 2015, and found job growth in every region except the Cariboo. Provincewide employment grew 1.2 per cent last year, ahead of the national rate. That may not sound like much, but compared to Alberta’s oil-dependent economy, it’s pretty good. Construction of a new dam on the Peace River is expected to ramp up this year, bringing workers home from

Alberta, and the federal government is planning to fast-track its promised infrastructure spending to create work across the country. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was in Toronto last week to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange with B.C. mining industry representatives. Not much sun on mining stocks these days, but Bennett’s sales pitch to an investor luncheon included reference to two more mines under construction in northwest B.C., the province’s Pacific Rim trade advantage, and revenue sharing with First Nations that is attracting attention of other provinces. The Conference Board of Canada has forecast that B.C.’s economy will “lead the country by a wide margin over the near term,” with unemployment declining in 2016. We’re at the mercy of global forces, but things could be a whole lot worse. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Mind your manners in the hospital

Letter writers urge better etiquette when visiting or staying in health care facilities. FILE PHOTO

▼ SICK PEOPLE SHOULD COME FIRST From an early age I made sure to teach my son about the value of good manners, be it “please and thank you” to giving up a seat on the bus. I loved to watch his face when he would offer his seat to a lady on the bus and the gratitude always made him feel good for doing it. He was about six years old the first time. My son is going to be 35 this year and he still has good manners. On Jan. 2, I went to Surrey Memorial Hospital with pneumonia. The waiting room was unusually full with standing room only, but I managed to get a seat. The only problem I found, other than the long wait, was losing my seat every time I had to

go for an X-ray or nurse’s assessment. After my nurse’s assessment, I came back into the waiting room and looked for a seat and could not find one, so I leaned up against the glass by the where the receptionist was. I was dizzy and feeling very unwell and definitely needed to sit down, but the only person who gave me a seat was a lady who was a senior, and I thanked her profusely for the seat. Shortly after sitting down I became angry, shocked, flabbergasted and annoyed at the high number of men that completely ignored the fact that I truly needed to sit down. The waiting room was made up of at least 50 per cent men and the kicker was that most of them were family members of someone ill. These were men who just accompanied a person to the emergency ward,

and while they waited, they talked on their cells or played video games, which they could have done standing up with their able bodies. I would just like to say that it is wonderful that you care enough to be with your family member when they are ill, but please be aware that those seats are for people who are sick and waiting to be seen. In closing I would just like to say that it is “good manners” to give your seat to a lady, especially when she is a sick lady. Susan Jane Stevens Surrey

Tip on hospital etiquette With technology comes change of behaviour. New medical technology allows a major operation to be performed in under

three hours and the patient comes through alert and focused. But technology also comes with a downside – cellular phones and lack of proper etiquette in hospitals. Almost everyone owns or operates a cellular phone and what is missing is manners when using this device. My spouse Edward was recently admitted to Eagle Ridge Hospital for a cervical discectomy. This is major surgery, with the neurologist opening the throat to remove a full disk from the neck and replacing it with a surgical device. When my husband arrived on the ward for recovery, he was extremely fatigued by the experience. We had requested a private room, but due to overcrowding, ended up in a semi-private with a young gal. She was a chatty patient who had come in the day before and was ready for discharge, but had no ride to get her home. We endured hours of loud telephone conversations and texting until a hospitalist came in and sent her packing. She was quickly replaced by an older Italian woman who spent hours on her cellular phone talking to anyone who would listen to her sorrows and complaints. Most people who end up in the hospital are there because they need to be – not because they want to be – and they need quiet and recovery time. Nowadays, nobody lowers their voice or respects another person’s privacy or acknowledges the fact the person may be in pain and suffering. Common courtesy seems to have

gone out the window. Here’s a tip: If you have a cellular phone and you need to make a call, do so without interrupting and disturbing everyone around you. You may feel the need to

talk to someone about your situation, but not everyone wants to listen to your endless conversations and self-deprecating misery. Be respectful of the person in the bed next to you.

A few manners can go a long way. Unfortunately, manners seems to be a forgotten trait. Sandra Steffan Newton

Services at the Welcome Centre – which has 40 employees at the 7525 King George Blvd. location – went out to tender last year and the Surrey School District put in a bid. But last week it was readying termination notices for the employees as of Jan. 30 unless it was given an assurance federal funding would be coming. The contract ends on May 1. Due to conditions of the employment contract, the district has to give 90 days notice to Welcome Centre staff, meaning letters of termination would have gone out at the end of the month. Surrey Board of Education Chair Shawn Wilson told The Leader last week that without any word of funding, “the noose is tightening.” On Monday morning, 12 days before termination notices were to be sent out, the federal government notified the district the Welcome Centre had won the contract for 2016. What is unclear at this point is whether there will be any extra funding to hire new employees to handle the small tsunami of Syrians expected to arrive. “Processing the new (Syrian) refugee children will be a much greater workload,” Wilson said.

Exempt your child from the FSA

Dear parents, We work hard to give your children the best education possible. We celebrate with them when they master a new concept and help them think creatively when tackling a tricky problem. But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away from those wonderful moments of learning. The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless stress for students, are expensive, and the muchdelayed results do not actively support your child’s progress. The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of to students’ interests and needs. That’s why teachers in Surrey recommend you send a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.

Refugees trickle into Surrey and Delta schools ▶ WHILE HUNDREDS ARE EXPECTED, JUST A HANDFUL OF SYRIAN STUDENTS HAVE ARRIVED SO FAR SHEILA REYNOLDS

Just three Syrian refugee students have so far registered in Surrey schools. That number, however, is expected to jump in the coming weeks. In an update to Surrey school trustees on Thursday (Jan. 14), school Supt. Jordan Tinney said as of last week, 411 government-assisted refugees had arrived in B.C., while 78 are expected shortly. An additional 2,000 or so

are anticipated to arrive by the end of February, followed by another smaller group in March and April. “Currently in temporary housing, these new refugees will be moving to permanent locations throughout the Metro region,” Tinney said, adding Surrey, Vancouver, Coquitlam and Burnaby school districts will likely receive the vast majority of the refugees. While it was initially estimated more than 500 students might come to Surrey schools, the district is now anticipating between 300 and 350 schoolaged children, whose needs will be assessed at the Welcome Centre before they are sent to their neighbourhood schools.

The Welcome Centre helps newcomers with settlement issues, such as education. However, there is some concern about the February deadline to submit enrolment information to the province, which determines resources allocated to school districts to support students. If refugees arrive outside that timeline, the district wants to ensure the resources will still be made available by the B.C. Ministry of Education. Tinney said early analysis of the already landed refugees indicate 60 per cent are under age 18. In the neighbouring Delta School District, six Syrian refugees have registered so far, and that’s all that’s expected.

The War Amps

B.C. Court of Appeal that the province didn’t violate bargaining rights with its 2002 legislation setting class size and special needs support. Education Minister Mike Bernier said the long-running dispute won’t disrupt efforts to continue cooperation with teachers, and the latest five-year negotiated settlement shows “government’s relationship with the BCTF has never been better.” The agreement came in 2014, after a long, bitter strike that saw the government send out $40-a-day child care payments to 230,000 families for 13 school days lost due to strike action in the fall. BCTF President Jim Iker said the latest appeal offers a chance to restore the 2002 class size limits and specialty teacher ratios, but the union won’t wait for another court proceeding to press its demands. “A month from now, the B.C. Liberal government will deliver its 2016 budget,” Iker said. “Enrolment is starting to increase after years of decline and we know that there are more students with special needs, refugee students and others with unique needs entering the system.” Bernier declined to comment on the details of the case, with another court action on the horizon. “B.C. students rank first amongst all English-speaking countries in reading, science and math in international testing,” Bernier said. “We will keep working with the BCTF so students benefit from making our great education system even better.”

More than 100 children housed in hotels ▶ MOST STAYS ARE SHORT AND DUE TO URGENT CIRCUMSTANCES, MINISTER SAYS JEFF NAGEL

A new report shows 117 children and youth in care in B.C. were placed in hotels in a recent 12-month period

despite government claims the practice was rare and repeated orders that it happen only in extreme situations. The joint review of hotel placements by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and the Ministry of Children and Family Development came in response to a high-pro-

file death last September. Alex Gervais, an 18-year-old in care, fell or jumped to his death from the fourth floor of an Abbotsford Super 8 hotel, where he had been housed by the ministry after his group home was shut down due to poor conditions. At that time, Children and Family

QUALITY DENTAL CARE IN RELAXED, CARING AND COMFORTABLE SURROUNDINGS

Minister Stephanie Cadieux suggested just one or two youths were thought to be in hotel placements. Turpel-Lafond suspected the number was closer to 50 and said the count of 117 children from November 2014 to October 2014 – more than double her estimate – shows how pervasive the problem remains. Some of those children were placed in hotels multiple times during the year, as a total of 131 placements were recorded. Most hotel stays are short – just a day or two – and Cadieux said it’s usually because of the need to urgently relocate youth until a conventional placement can be found, often on evenings or weekends. But Gervais was an extreme case. He spent 49 consecutive days in the Abbotsford hotel prior to his Sept. 18 death, the most recent of multiple hotel stays. “The best guess we have is that Mr. Gervais spent close to 100 days in hotels over

the period of his time in care,” Turpel-Lafond said. A further review of his case is underway and the ministry is required to report by March 31 or consent to an investigation by Turpel-Lafond’s office. “His death is a tragedy. It’s a young life lost well too soon,” said Cadieux, MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale. The South Fraser and North Fraser regions of the Lower Mainland recorded the highest use of hotels – 32 and 27 placements respectively – followed by 14 in Vancouver/Richmond and 12 by the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society. The hotel placements make up two per cent of B.C. children in care,

Stephanie Cadieux but that rose to six per cent in the North Fraser area. Turpel-Lafond characterized the recurring use of hotels in those areas as “a stop-gap in lieu of having adequate placements.” But Cadieux said she believes better coordination of the placement options that exist could go far to reducing hotel use. Cadieux said hotel stays remain an option of last resort and while she doesn’t believe it’s good practice she would set no target date for ending it. Manitoba has banned all use of hotels but Cadieux said that comparison isn’t appropriate because that province was using them systemically. Turpel-Lafond said she would like to see a complete ban because

of the harm hotel stays do but agreed it is not realistic. “The pressures on the staff are such that they are not able to find alternative placements to hotels at this time.” Ministry staff must now report to the representative’s office when any child is kept in a hotel longer than three days. Social workers must get approval for hotel placements, which has been granted in all recent requests. Reports on hotel placements are to be made public every six months. Cadieux said she also intends to bring a budget request to cabinet to provide more residential resources for emergency placements, particularly in the Fraser areas. She indicated she may also propose increased remuneration or incentives to recruit or retain foster families. “We want to eliminate hotel placements entirely,” Cadieux said. “But government can’t achieve that alone. We need more people to step up, get trained and work with us to provide kids in care with the stable homes that they need and that they deserve.”

Wildcats win again at RCMP Classic ▼ TAMANAWIS DEFEATS PANORAMA RIDGE THUNDER FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE ALL-SURREY CHAMPIONSHIP RICK KUPCHUK

The Tamanawis Wildcats have become a dynasty at the Surrey RCMP Classic senior boys high school basketball tournament. Playing in the championship game for the sixth consecutive season, the Wildcats won their fourth all-Surrey title with a 97-69 victory over the Panorama Ridge Thunder Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Wildcats became just the third team to win three consecutive RCMP Classic banners, and the first public school to do so. The White Rock Christian Academy Warriors won five in a row from 1999 to 2003, and three in succession in 2008-10. “It’s a big deal for our guys, because now they have won it at the junior and senior level,” said Wildcats coach Mike McKay. “They didn’t want to be the team to drop the ball, so to speak.”

With just three grade 12s in their lineup, the Wildcats are a mix of players who won last year’s RCMP Classic in either the junior or senior category. They never trailed in Saturday’s championship game, needing just five minutes to build a double-digit lead. Playing in their first-ever RCMP Classic final, the Thunder rallied in the second quarter to get to within two at 34-32, but the Wildcats’ lead grew slightly to 44-38 at half time. And after Tamanawis began the second half with an 8-2 run to go up by 12 points, they kept adding to their lead over the final 18 minutes. “We started off pretty well, then made an adjustment to our press in the second quarter and our energy went down.” said McKay. “Then we made an adjustment at half time to match with their fast break, and it created some turnovers and we built on that.” Miguel Tomley, Tamanawis’ Grade 10 point guard, won his first Most Valuable Player (MVP) award as a senior. He scored 47 points, the fourth-highest total in a championship game in the tournament’s 25-year history, two years after he was the MVP as a Grade 8 player while leading the Wildcats to an RCMP title in the junior category. continued on page 14

Though they failed to earn any points on a weekend homestand at South Surrey Arena, Surrey Eagles’ coach saw brief glimpses of what his team could become, should they find consistency. Unfortunately, such glimpses did not result in any wins for the young BC Hockey League club, as the team dropped a 5-4 game to Powell River Kings Friday, and followed up Sunday with a 7-2 loss to Victoria Grizzlies. The losses came on the heels of a modest, two-game undefeated streak at home the weekend prior. “We just couldn’t keep the mojo going,” said Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld. “I thought we played hard on Friday, but I wasn’t particularly thrilled with our effort on Sunday. We’re slowly learning to be a consistent team – you see it in snippets – but we’re a young team and we’re not there yet.” Friday’s game was as close as the one-goal margin of victory would indicate, with the visiting Kings staking themselves to a 1-0 lead after the opening period, on a goal from Austin Kamer. Powell River’s Adam Brubacher made it 2-0 just 18 seconds into the second frame before Jeffrey Stewart got the home team on the board seven minutes later. The teams traded goals before the second intermission, with Kurt Black notching the Eagles’ marker, and each team scored twice more in the third. Brett Stewart scored for Surrey, and with the team down 5-3, Tyler Cooper scored his second goal of the season – on the power play – to ▶ “We’re slowly bring the Birds to within one goal, but they failed to get the learning to be equalizer before time expired. a consistent Justin Laforest was tagged with the loss for Surrey, making team...” 25 saves. BLAINE NEUFELD Where Friday’s contest was close, Sunday’s went sideways from the start for the South Surrey squad. The two teams hadn’t met since an Eagles’ double-overtime win on Vancouver Island in mid-October. On Sunday, Victoria jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first period, then tacked on two more goals by the 6:54 mark of the second, which chased starting netminder Daniel Davidson from the game. Brett Stewart finally got the home team on the scoreboard in the first minute of the third period, firing home a slap shot for his eighth goal of the season, and Gage Mackie scored the home team’s other goal. Though Neufeld was willing to cut his squad a little bit of slack on the consistency front due to their age – the Eagles’ are among the BCHL’s youngest teams – he reiterated that he wants to see better efforts moving forward. “The frustration for our coaching staff is that we see them play like they did on Friday, and then we follow it up with (Sunday’s game),” he said. “Our guys need to learn that there’s really only one thing they can control every game – and that’s their work ethic. That’s what it comes down to – work ethic and execution.” The Eagles will hit the road this weekend for three games on Vancouver Island, beginning Friday night in Nanaimo against the Clippers. On Saturday, they’ll play the Alberni Valley Bulldogs before wrapping up the trip Sunday afternoon against Powell River.

Giants swept on home ice ▶ WHL TEAM LOSES TO EVERETT SILVERTIPS, PRINCE GEORGE COUGARS RICK KUPCHUK

The Vancouver Giants lost back-to-back games for the first time in more than a month last weekend, failing to earn a point in a pair of home games at the Pacific Coliseum. The Western Hockey League team fell 3-2 to the Everett Silvertips Friday night, then lost 6-4 to the Prince George Cougars Saturday evening. The Giants had won four of five games heading into the weekend, but were handed consecutive regulation losses for the first time since Dec. 5-6. Ironically, those losses were to the Silvertips (3-1 in Everett) and Prince George (6-5 in Vancouver). Since then, the Giants were 9-3-1 (winloss-overtime loss) heading into play last weekend, and making a charge for a playoff position.

Vancouver has now slipped back into the cellar of the Western Conference, but are just six points back of a playoff position. The Silvertips broke a 2-2 tie with a goal midway through the second period, and maintained the one-goal lead for the final 33 minutes of the game. Everett opened the scoring eight minutes into the first period, then Dmitry Osipov and Alec Baer struck for the Giants with a pair of goals just 18 seconds apart. Everett tied the game 80 seconds later. Ryan Kubic made 19 saves on 22 shots, while the Giants took 23 shots at the Everett goal. Saturday against Prince George, the home side scored three times in the second period and took a 4-3 lead into the final frame, but couldn’t hang on. Trevor Cox was the Vancouver goal scorer in the first period, which ended with the Cougars up 2-1. Cox then assisted on goals by Thomas

After Prince George scored on the powerplay, Foster restored the Vancouver lead five minutes into the second period. Prince George tied the game three minutes into the third period, took the lead with a powerplay goal at the six-minute mark, then scored into the empty net in the final minute. Kubic was again in the Vancouver goal, stopping 33 of the 38 shots he faced. The Giants played a pair of U.S. Division teams earlier this week, visiting the Portland Winterhawks Monday night and the Tri-City Americans on Tuesday. They will play three home games next weekend, hosting the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum, before visiting the Victoria Royals for two games Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

“I just let it come to me. I didn’t even know I had 47,” he said. “I know I had 30 at the half, but it didn’t seem like I had 17 more. I had the same number of shots I usually do, but it felt like I just wasn’t missing.” Grade 12 guard Sagar Dulay netted 17 points for Tamanawis, with Grade 11 forward Gurman Banghu adding 15. Dulay was selected to the tournament’s first all-star team, with teammate Kyle Uppal a second team selection. For the Thunder, Harsiman Bhullar with 25 points, Devon Dhillon with 15, and Sahil Dhami and Chuks Udevi with 12 each were the top scorers. Dhami on the first team and Udevi on the second were the Thunder players named to the all-star team. Panorama Ridge made the most of its first-ever top five finish, placing second to one of the province’s best high school basketball teams. “That’s an accomplishment,” said Thunder coach Parm Gill of the runner-up finish. “We’re not happy about the way this game went but it’s a learning process for us. “This is the farthest the school has gone at the RCMP Classic, but the school has never made provincials at the senior level. So that’s what we’re aiming for now.” Paced by all-stars Aaqib Dhillon (first team) and Jasman Basra (second team), the North Surrey Spartans claimed third place with an 81-68 win over the Southridge Storm on a consolation game. The Spartans were also

the Most Sportsmanlike Team. The Storm, awarded fifth place, were led by first-team allstar and last year’s tournament MVP Hunter Hughes. Placing fourth were the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, 61-57 winners over the Enver Creek Cougars in another consolation game. Rounding out the first all-star team was Gurbant Dhaliwal of the L.A. Matheson Mustangs. Other second team selections were Brandon Tabing of Lord Tweedsmuir and Andrew Musison of Enver Creek. Macky Velasco of the Cougars was the tournament’s Most Inspirational Player. The Semiahmoo Totems won the championship in the Junior category, defeating the Guildford Park Sabres 75-59 in Saturday morning’s final at Enver Creek Secondary. The Totems were there dominant team throughout the 20-team competition, winning four games by an average of 19 points, the closest game being the final against the Sabres. “We’re very, very happy. It’s such a big tournament, so it’s nice to win it,” said Totems head coach Ed Lefurgy. “The boys played extremely hard, and defensively we were very good. We’ve got a big, athletic group, and our defensively intensity was great, we shot really well – it was just a good effort.” Grade 10 guard Jordon Chen was named the tournament’s MVP. “He was a one-man press break out there, and made great ball-handling decisions,” added Lefurgy. “He’s our point guard, and he’s just a natural.”

Other eagles prefer the easy pickings at the Vancouver Landfill at Burns Bog or the compost heaps and farm fields along 72 Street. The Christmas bird count held each year at the end of December regularly records between 600 and 1,300 bald eagles within a 24-kilometre radius of Ladner. Yet, as longtime residents will remember, there was a time when there were very few eagles in the Fraser delta. Their numbers have steadily risen over the last four decades.

Pebble Hill Elementary School in Delta was recently presented with $1,000 from B.C.’s ElectroRecycle program, after winning a district-wide recycling challenge and helping to divert 475 kilograms of products away from landfills. The challenge consisted of a weeklong collection event, where students and parents were encouraged to learn about recycling beyond the blue bin by bringing their old, unwanted or broken small electrical appliances & power tools to be recycled at bins set up across the Delta School District. With a total of eight schools participating, nearly two tonnes worth of product was recycled. “This was a fantastic initiative for the kids, the school, and the community,” said Pebble Hill principal Claire Clancy. “The students, staff and parents all learned so much about the program, and were surprised to learn that there were in fact many products they had lying around at home that could be recycled, rather than ending up in the landfill. “Our green team took extra initiative as well, with students creating additional posters and going around to each classroom to educate other
