OPEN DESIGN FOR NEW CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL Fatal Distraction for fo for

▶ UNIQUE SCHOOL WILL INCLUDE ‘PODS’ TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION SHEILA REYNOLDS

A new high school destined for Cloverdale will be unlike any other in Surrey. Work has started on a school site in the bustling Clayton neighbourhood of Surrey. And while it’s a welcome addition in an area considered one of Surrey’s fastest-growing communities, where the existing high schools are busting at the seams, the new school will also prove a unique

addition to the city. Currently called Clayton North Secondary (a name will be chosen in the coming months), the $55-million school will be 16,685 square metres and feature an open, flexible design. Many of the existing high schools in Surrey have a similar design – a cost saving measure taken in the past. continued on page 3

▶ ‘THE SPARK FOR IT IS... THE NEW CURRICULUM AND THE APPROACH TO BIG IDEA LEARNING’ from page 1

While they have some open space elements, the new school will take the concept further. Clayton North will have about 10 “Learning Communities,” that will each function like combined classrooms that are assigned to different subject areas. For example, arts-related programs such as music and dance would be in one section, while sciences and shop courses would have their own areas. The “communities” will be larger than typical classrooms, with walls that can be opened or closed to be as collaborative or private as needed. “The design is more flexible and open so that while they have pods or areas that are designed to support certain parts of the curriculum, within them they can put up walls if they want to focus on different things, or open up the walls and work together,” explained Doug Strachan, communications manager for Surrey School District. The school, with a capacity for 1,500 students, will also feature TED (Technology, Engineering and Design) labs, discovery labs, two gyms and learning commons with Makerspaces (hands-on, tinkering areas) and multi-purpose gathering spaces. “The spark for it is really the new curriculum and the

and catchment areas. The new high school will impact both Lord Tweedsmuir and Clayton Heights secondary schools, which are both over capacity. For example, student currently in LT’s catchment may be diverted to Clayton Heights, while some destined for Clayton Heights might be switched to the new school. The possible boundary changes could also have implications for the elementary schools nearby, in that children in those schools could feed into different high schools than they currently do. Planning for the new school’s arrival is “complex,” says a memo to school trustees. “The task needs to be approached with clarity and thoroughness,” the memo reads.

District is beginning the process of defining boundaries - with files from Lauren Collins approach to big idea learning,” said Strachan of the new design, “so that you can go with something spontaneous and explore it and reconfigure the room to do that.” While Clayton North’s design is brand new, it’s not a first for B.C. as a Vancouver school shares a similar, open concept. Still, the Surrey School District saw the construction of its new high school, expected to open in fall 2018, as an opportunity to change how things are done. “New secondary schools don’t come along very often,” said Strachan. The last new high school built in Surrey was Panorama Ridge Secondary in 2006.

International tuition steady SHEILA REYNOLDS

Fees for students from other countries who attend Surrey public schools will be the same this fall as they are this year. Last week, Surrey school trustees voted to maintain international tuition at $13,500 per year ($12,600, plus $900 for provincial medical coverage). There are more than 2,000 international students currently attending classes in Surrey schools – about half of which are funded by the province – who are children of parents on study or work permits, are kids of ministers, or who are refugee claimants. The other 1,000 or so foreign students pay tuition fees, bringing more than $11 million in revenue to the school district annually.

International students come to Surrey from across the globe, including Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

SFU Surrey to celebrate 50 years

A fundraising campaign for a young woman who survived a vicious attack in Surrey earlier this month has exceeded all expectations.

After a swift and stinging response, including a 38,000name online petition, Amazon has stopped selling a book written by serial killer Robert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willieâ&#x20AC;? Pickton. Pickton has penned a book from prison, angering families of victims and the provincial government. Pickton has written a book called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pickton: In his own words,â&#x20AC;? which was available on Amazon for a short time Monday for $20.17. Families of victims and the B.C. government reacted swiftly, saying it was an outrage that Pickton could profit from the killings. An online petition created by change.org, generated almost

38,000 names in a few hours. By Monday afternoon, Amazon had pulled the book from its list of offerings. When it was written, or how it landed in the hands of a publisher from Kent Institution, is not clear. Pickton, 66, is serving a life sentence for the second-degree murder of six women from Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown Eastside. He is suspected of killing another 20. One of the six women he was convicted of killing was Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sereena Abotsway. The foster child of Bert and Anna Draayers was 29 years old when she went missing in August 2001. At the time, she was living in the Downtown Eastside. She promised the Draayers she would be home for her 30th birthday, but never arrived. Sandra Gagnonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Janet Henry used to go toÂ Picktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm and went missing in 1997. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really disgusts me knowing that the worst serial killer in

history has the nerve to write that book and re-open wounds,â&#x20AC;? she told CBC News. The back jacket of the book calls Pickton the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fall guy.â&#x20AC;? On Monday morning, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Mike Morris said in a statement his office was appealing to Amazon to stop selling the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are taking this very seriously and investigating every means available to ensure that the families involved are protected from further harm and that Robert Pickton will not profit in any way from this book,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not right that a person who has caused so much harm and hurt so many people could profit from his behaviour.â&#x20AC;? B.C. does not have laws prohibiting people from profiting by publishing a book about their crimes. The province is now considering enacting such legislation.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday Februar y 24 2016

Think pink – today and every day If you notice a large number of people wearing pink today, it’s likely not just due to early spring-like weather. Today (Feb. 24) is Pink Shirt Day – also known as Anti-Bullying Day – when everyone is encouraged to stand united against abusive behaviour. It all started back in 2007, when Nova Scotia high school students David Shepherd and Travis Price decided to stand up for a classmate who was being bullied for wearing pink. The two students bought a stack of 50 pink tank tops for their peers, and when the sea of pink greeted the bully the next day, the nastiness was shut down in its tracks. The kindness has continued – exponentially. In the nine years since that courageous gesture in eastern Canada, the Pink Shirt Day

movement has spread around the globe. (The United Nations has proclaimed May 4 Anti-Bullying Day). Let’s hope the word continues to travel, because despite the raised awareness, bullying continues. As the Surrey Fire Fighters Association notes, bullying is still “a major problem in our schools, places of work and our community at large.” The fire service is among the numerous organizations in Surrey and Delta – along with RCMP and police, school districts and businesses – which will be proudly sporting pink in support of those who suffer. Net proceeds from sales of official pink t-shirts (www. pinkshirtday.ca) support the CKNW Orphans’ Fund and are distributed to various

RAESIDE

organizations across B.C. and Alberta. The programs funded support children’s healthy self-esteem, both with their peers and themselves. They teach empathy, compassion and kindness. And throughout the day on Feb. 24, Coast Capital Savings will donate $1 per #PinkItForward hashtag used on social media to Pink Shirt Day, up to $45,000. Bullying will likely never be wiped out completely, but we can hope to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with once socially acceptable drinking and driving. So let’s all do our part Wednesday and say no to bullying. For more information check out pinkshirtday.ca

Time to take MSP off life support BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The B.C. Liberal government made a big show of selectively easing Medical Services Plan (MSP) fees in its budget for the coming election year. In what is becoming a pattern for Premier Christy Clark, the biggest beneficiaries are single parents. The new MSP is calculated for adults only, so a single parent with two children saves as much as $1,200 a year. Premium assistance is expanded, with discounts for single people making up to $42,000, rather than $30,000. But for singles, couples and seniors who don’t qualify for discounts, the rate is going up another four per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017. Indeed, with population growth, the finance ministry expects its take from MSP premiums to rise every year, reaching $2.5 billion in the coming years. MSP revenue covers about 17 per cent of B.C.’s health budget, and Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong insist that Canada’s only direct health care charge is a vital signal to people that health care isn’t free.

This argument has failed. One seldom-discussed fact is that for half of the people charged MSP, it’s paid by their employers. In private sector terms it’s a hefty payroll tax, creating one more obstacle for businesses to hire fulltime staff with benefits. So most full-time employees don’t receive this supposedly vital signal, unless they get laid off because their employer is losing money. Also note that politicians and public sector employees have never paid MSP premiums. Their employers, taxpayers, pick up the tab for them. People who have to pay out of pocket are what the bureaucracy calls “pay direct accounts.” Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation recently revealed that nearly 400,000 of these accounts are currently in arrears by more than 30 days, owing a grand total of $457 million. Of course this is Canada, so even if you haven’t paid or even registered for MSP, you still get treatment at the hospital. Another potential signal lost in the noise.

For people who lose their jobs, MSP is like being kicked when they are down. Their employer stops paying, and the slow-moving bureaucracy charges them based on their income from the previous year. There was a fuss in 2004 after the B.C. Liberals contracted out MSP administration to a Virginia-based back-office specialist, delightfully named Maximus Corporation. Now Maximus goes after delinquent MSP accounts with collection agency tactics, and attempts to keep up with the comings and goings from other provinces and countries. Opposition parties decry the continued inequity of the MSP premium system, which charges the same for a single person making $45,000 or $450,000 a year. NDP leader John Horgan rails about inequality and accuses Clark of using MSP revenues to establish her prosperity “slush fund,” but he stops short

of calling for the elimination of MSP premiums. One would expect the NDP to lead another “axe the tax” campaign, as they did with the carbon tax and the HST, but they aren’t. Perhaps this is because workers for this unnecessary Maximus machine remain members of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver has it right. He staged a popular petition drive to roll MSP premiums into income tax. If the government wants to send a message, it can interrupt its continuous “Jobs Plan” advertising. Scrapping MSP and raising income tax rates on higher brackets to compensate would fix the private sector payroll deterrent, make salaried employees (including me) pay their share, and end a tax break for the wealthy. Don’t hold your breath. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Stop trucks on Pattullo ▼ LARGE VEHICLES ARE DAMAGING THE BRIDGE AND CAUSING TRAFFIC CHAOS Commercial truck traffic on the Pattullo Bridge has got to be stopped – forever. This is a small, aging infrastructure built in 1937 that will not last with the small fixes they currently do for upkeep. These large vehicles tear apart the bridge with their length and heavy weight. Several times a day, 70-foot-long semis travel over this bridge, causing further damage and being nothing more than a clog in the wheel by taking two lanes to travel over the bridge and becoming a nuisance for New Westminster residential traffic. Worse yet, these semis break down due to a lack of upkeep on the trucks, blocking a lane for hours. Now that this bridge is going to be reduced to one-lane traffic each way

Letter writers say that the aging Pattullo Bridge can no longer accommodate modern commercial truck traffic. EVAN SEAL during repairs this spring, commercial trucks need to be outright banned from using this bridge altogether – not only during repairs, but afterwards also.

The mayors of both New Westminster and Surrey need to ensure this ban is permanent. The Pattullo should be designated to small vehicle traffic only like the

Lions Gate Bridge, which, too, was built in 1937 and is a non-truck route. Edward Degenstien Sandra Steffan, Newton

▼ SKYTRAIN IS MODERN-DAY EDSEL There is myth that Light Rail Transit is slow, slower than SkyTrain, in fact as slow as road traffic. This needs to be corrected. Studies have shown that streetcars operating in mixed traffic are about 10 per cent faster than buses, but streetcars or trams are not quite light rail. Modern light rail is a streetcar or tram that operates on dedicated or reserved rights-of-ways, with priority signalling at intersections. The reserved rights-of-way enables modern LRT to obtain commercial speeds of a light metro such as SkyTrain, with commercial speed largely determined by the number of stations per route kilometre. The optimum station spacing for LRT in an urban setting is about every 500 metres to 600 metres, but with light-metro stations (SkyTrain) being so expensive, station spacing for metro tends to be further apart – one kilometre to 1.5 kms apart. This does give faster commercial speeds, but it deters ridership because door-to-door travel times are more because the transit customer must travel further to get to transit than he/she would with light rail. Modern LRT can obtain actual speeds equal to or faster than our present SkyTrain if need be. In many cities today, modern LRT can also act as a passenger train operating on the mainline railways at mainline speeds. It is the inherent flexibility of modern LRT – which can operate as a streetcar (in mixed traffic), as light rail on its own dedicated route, and a passenger train, often on the same route – that made light metro such as SkyTrain (only seven built in 40 years) obsolete. Those who continually dismiss modern LRT with one excuse or another are not telling the truth and they never explain why only seven SkyTrain systems have been built in 40 years and why none have ever been allowed to compete directly against modern light rail. Could it be that transit authorities around the world do not want to invest in expensive “Edsel-style” transit such as SkyTrain? Malcolm Johnston, Delta

Mounties target city’s repeat offenders ▶ RCMP HAS LAUNCHED A PROLIFIC OFFENDER PROGRAM IT SAYS IS SHOWING RESULTS KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey RCMP say a prolific offender program it launched late last year is showing results. Last fall, Surrey RCMP created a specialized process to identify and apprehend prolific offenders – those few individuals who are responsible for committing the bulk of the city’s crime. In January alone, Surrey RCMP arrested 21 prolific offenders, primarily for breaching their conditions of release or probation. They were also arrested for a variety of other offences, including theft, drugs and fraud. Some of those arrested include: a man 53, with more than 98 criminal charges since 2009; a 30-year-old mail thief with 41 charges in the last 11 years; and a man,

Four passegers suddenly fall ill on Surrey bus KEVIN DIAKIW

Four people fell ill over the weekend after being exposed to an unknown substance on a North Surrey bus. At 11:52 a.m. Sun-

day, Surrey RCMP was called to a bus near 96 Avenue and King George Boulevard. Police say the Coast Mountain bus was heading north on King George Boulevard

when a man smelling of a chlorine-type substance boarded the bus. He began crushing something up into a powder in the back,and passengers alerted the driver.

HERITAGE WEEK 2016

The driver went to the back and cleaned up the mess, as the man had gone. About 15 minutes later, the bus driver fell ill, feeling like his nose was going to bleed. Three passengers also felt ill. The driver stopped the bus and called for assistance. Surrey’s fire department boarded the bus and found no evidence of a hazardous material. “We don’t know what it was and I guess we won’t know what it was,” said Transit Police spokesperson Anne

Drennan. The bus has been thoroughly cleaned and will be brought back into service. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Metro Vancouver Transit Police at 604-515-8300.

High-tech dart to end high-speed chases A high-tech dart shot at cars by police is hoped to end high-speed pursuits in Delta. Last year, Delta Po-

The department is now looking at fitting eight cars with StarChase technology, a small dart shot at cars that will beam back location information to police. Police say dangerous high-speed chases will become unnecessary, as the perpetrator’s location will be known at all times. Delta is expected to be the first police department in Canada using the technology. It has been used suc-

Surrey taxi peppered with bullets in Guildford A 40-year-old man sustained minor gunshot wounds after being fired upon while in a taxi cab in Guildford last week. At just after 5 a.m. on Thursday (Feb. 18), police received several 911 calls of gun shots in the area of 143 Street and 109 Avenue. One of those calls came from a man in a cab who said he’d been shot. The victim, who had been riding in the taxi, attended hospital on his own and Surrey RCMP met him there and found he had suffered a minor wound to the leg. He was treated and released. RCMP found several bullet holes in the cab, along with shattered glass. The cab driver was not injured. Police say it was a targeted incident, but don’t know a motive. No arrests have been made.

Free Wi-Fi service is now available in many B.C. courthouses. The Court Services Branch of the B.C. Ministry of Justice has partnered with Shaw Communications Inc. to provide the service in communities with fibre connectivity at no cost to government or users. Previously, Wi-Fi in courthouses required users to pay and it was not widely used. Free Wi-Fi was installed a year ago in the Victoria Law Courts and has been well-used. It was then expanded to Prince George, Kamloops and New Westminster Law Courts last fall and is expected to be expanded further, to Chilliwack Law Courts, Port Coquitlam Provincial Courthouse,

Nanaimo Law Courts and Kelowna Law Courts imminently. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipated Surrey and Vancouver courts will get the service this spring. To access the Wi-Fi network, users must set up an account. Shaw customers can use their existing home account information, while others will get a free guest account. There will be signs and information cards with instructions in each courthouse. While the policy is different for the B.C.

A Surrey woman has been arrested after a series of assaults on SkyTrain. At about 2:45 p.m. last Wednesday (Feb. 17), a woman was seen drinking on SkyTrain at Royal Oak Station in New Westminster. The 46-year-old woman appeared to be intoxicated, according to witnesses.

Transit Police say she began mocking a group of young students who were deaf. Another woman intervened and was allegedly punched in the face by the intoxicated woman. Later, a 71-year-old man tried to get off the train, but had his path blocked. When he asked the intoxicated woman to move out of the doorway, police say he too was punched in the face. The victims and suspect got off the train at Edmonds station

Communities Minister Peter Fassbender says Metro Vancouver mayors shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry that the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for federal money to help build the new Massey Bridge will eat into the grants available for transit expansion. The province has pitched the George Massey Tunnel replacement as a green infrastructure project for the purposes of federal funding and one that will help with goods movement in the region. Some mayors have expressed trepidation that they may be competing with the province for the $60 billion in new infrastructure grants Ottawa is to begin doling out.

Learn the early warning signs of bullying … Step-Up and make a difference

Bullies depend on people not doing the right thing Surrey Schools is committed to providing safe and caring environments in which all learners can achieve academic excellence, personal growth and responsible citizenship.

Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying. The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents. Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations. Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased

considerably. Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying. Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumours about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.

Signs your child is being bullied Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

Signs your child is the bully Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may

The dangers of Ask.fm be a bully include: • easily becoming violent with others • having friends who bully others • blaming others quickly • comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her • getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators • picking on siblings • not accepting responsibility for actions There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behaviour continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure. Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children’s behaviour. Counselling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

The website and smartphone app Ask.fm is a social-networking site where people can ask other users questions. It’s extremely popular with pre-teens and teens, but recently it has become well-known for facilitating cyber-bullying instead. It has been referenced in several suicide cases around the world as part of the bullying the victim experienced that led to their suicide. The biggest issue with Ask.fm is that questions can be submitted anonymously, and content is not monitored, so abuse of the service can be rampant with no repercussions to the user. Even if someone is blocked, that person can still view profiles and see other interactions, and privacy settings cannot be increased as they can on Facebook and Twitter. According to RCMP Const. Tad Milmine, the Latvia-based website also sends daily spam with messages suggesting users kill themselves and calling them ugly, among others, with no name attached. Parents are urged to monitor all social media accounts and talk to their children about their online activities in an effort to prevent cyberbullying, and remember that the terms of service of Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm require users to be at least 13.

Programs help refugees overcome trauma SHEILA REYNOLDS

The kinds of horrors that Syrian refugees to Canada may have experienced are many, from kidnapping and torture, to the execution of family or friends to sexual assault, exploitation and threats. Once here, they may need help dealing with the trauma they faced escaping one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. To that end, the United Way of the Lower Mainland is committing $158,000 to mental health programs to help the latest wave of Syrian refugees to come to

C.A.R.E.ing for refugees â&#x2013;ś SFU STUDENTS APPLY THEIR LESSONS BLACK PRESS

A team of fourth-year marketing management students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey are putting their business acumen to the test to help Syrian refugees. The seven students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ruskhaar Ali, Elodie Egersperger, Sebastian Hermannes, Jasmin Sahota, Christina Wiebe, Lindsey Zinn and Anthony Andreone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are selling C.A.R.E. (Community Aid & Relief Effort) Kits for delivery to the Muslim Food Bank in North Surrey. Through March 23, two kits are being offered: a Child Kit and a Family Kit. Each is being sold for $25, with profits to benefit the Kwantlen Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing Management Scholarship Fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to apply our classroom lessons and knowledge in a way that would benefit others positively,â&#x20AC;? Wiebe said in a press release. On Feb. 4, the team delivered 61 toothbrushes, 41 tubes of toothpaste, 21 bottles of shampoo, 21 bars of soap, 20 containers of baby powder, 20 boxes of baby biscuits and 21 bags of rice. The kits will be distributed by the food bank. Wiebe said the hope is others with a passion for helping will support the effort. Anyone wanting to purchase a kit may do so at www.carekits.ca

Hawks clinch top spot with sweep of Royals ▼ MAJOR MIDGET LEAGUE TEAM SETS A NUMBER OF CLUB RECORDS WHILE DEFEATING SOUTH ISLAND TWICE RICK KUPCHUK

Along the way to their first-ever regular season championship, the Valley West Hawks are setting several club records. The Hawks clinched a first-place finish in the BC Hockey Major Midget League last weekend at home with a sweep of the South Island Royals, winning 6-0 and 3-1. Their 31 wins, 63 points and 195 goals scored are all new team records, and with two games remaining in the regular season the Hawks can add to those totals. “All season long amongst our coaching staff we felt we

had a pretty special group,” said Valley West head coach Jessie Leung. “Success in the BC Major Midget League doesn’t come easily and being able to clinch the regular season title with a week left to play is a testament to the group we’ve assembled.” The team of 15-17 year-olds from Surrey and North Delta went into Saturday’s game at the Sungod Arena a win away from clinching top spot. The Hawks dominated the game from start to finish, firing 75 shots at the Royals goal. “We talked as a team before the game about the importance of the game, not for today but for our playoff run,” said Leung. “We had a tremendous start to the game roaring out to a 3-0 lead five minutes in. From start to finish, it was a team effort for a full 60 minutes.” Goals from Josh Bruce, Christian Bosa and Ben Evanish continued on page 19

It was a weekend of firsts for a few members of the Surrey Eagles, but those positives weren’t reflected on the scoreboard during the team’s final homestand of the BC Hockey League season. The Eagles lost both games of their two-game homestand – 7-3 to the Cowichan Valley Capitals Friday, and 6-2 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Saturday. The losses dropped the Birds’ record to 7-45-0-2 (win-lossovertime loss-tie) in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, and leave them needing two wins in their final four contests – all on the road – to tie their nine-win mark from last season. Despite the loses, the weekend was not without a few positive moments, however. On Friday, captain Paul McAvoy, 19, scored all three of the Eagles’ goals for his first career BCHL hat-trick. Then, a day later, rookie forward Rob Johnson – who joined the team midseason from the Junior B ranks – notched his first-ever goal, as well as his first-ever fight, in the 6-2 loss to Alberni Valley. Against Cowichan Friday, McAvoy got his squad off to a good start, scoring his first goal just 54 seconds into the game, but the Capitals responded in a big way soon after, tying the game at the 2:08 mark of the first, then tacking on four more goals – including two from Jared Domin – before the first intermission. The second period began much the same way as the first, with McAvoy scoring in the opening minute – this time at the 44-second mark – to bring the score to 5-2, but Domin scored his third goal to restore the four-goal cushion before teammate Josh Adkinds extended it further. McAvoy’s hat-trick goal came in the third period, giving him 13 on the season. Darius Davidson started the game in net for Surrey, stopping 15 shots before he was replaced midway through the second period by veteran Justin Laforest, who shut the door the rest of the way, stopping all 20 shots he faced. Laforest was between the pipes Saturday night, too – for the Eagles’ Fan Appreciation Night – and stopped 28 of 34 shots on goal. Though they managed to get just two pucks past Alberni Valley goaltender Carson Shamerhorn, the Eagles got a glimpse of the future in the play of Johnson who, in addition to a goal and a spirited fight with Bulldogs’ Liam Conrad, added an assist on a first-period goal from fellow freshman Logan Mostat. With their home games now completed, Surrey will take to the road for the final four games of what has been a difficult season. On Tuesday after The Leader’s deadline, the Eagles squared off against the Vernon Vipers at Kal Tire Place, and tonight (Wednesday), they’ll hit the ice in Penticton against the powerhouse Vees – losers of just six games all season. The four-game road trip – the team’s longest of the season – continues in Prince George this weekend, for a pair of games against the Spruce Kings on Saturday and Sunday.

Playoff position slipping away ▶ VANCOUVER GIANTS 10 POINTS FROM EIGHTH PLACE IN WESTERN CONFERENCE RICK KUPCHUK

The Vancouver Giants were very close to winning all three games last weekend. But even if the Western Hockey League team had done so, it probably wouldn’t be of much help in their pursuit of a Western Hockey League (WHL)playoff position. The Giants lost 6-5 to the Kelowna Rockets Friday night in the Okanagan city, then won twice at home – 4-2 over the Rockets Saturday night and 4-3 in a shootout Sunday afternoon over the Kamloops Blazers. But it appears winning the majority of their remaining games won’t be enough to qualify for the playoffs. The Giants earned four of six points yet gained little ground on the competition, and are still 10 points out of a playoff position with just 11 games to play. Among the teams the Giants are chasing are the Blazers,

the eighth-place team in the Western Conference. By taking Sunday’s game at the Pacific Coliseum to a tiebreaker, Kamloops allowed the Giants to make up just one point in the standings. Vancouver scored the first three goals of the game, with Trevor Cox, Chase Land and Radovan Bondra finding the net for the home team, which led 3-0 three minutes into the second period. The Blazers scored twice in 32 seconds to cut the difference to 3-2 after 40 minutes, then scored a tying goal with 13 minutes to play in regulation time. After a scoreless overtime, Cox was the only one of six players to score in a shootout. Netminder Jake Morrisey got the win in the Giants net, stopping 32 of 35 shots over 65 minutes of play. The Giants also won their home game Saturday night, scoring three third-period goals to upset the Rockets. Lang gave Vancouver a 1-0 lead after one period, but the teams went into the third frame tied 1-1. Thomas Foster scored a go-ahead goal for the Giants in the first minute of

the third period, Cox scored the winning goal five minutes later, then Carter Popoff made it 4-1 with 13 minutes left to play. Ty Ronning assisted on three goals, while Cox was credited with one helper, the 200th in the Surrey native’s WHL career. While the Rockets couldn’t erase the three-goal deficit in Vancouver Saturday, they did just that Friday in Kelowna. Lang scored three times on the powerplay in the first period, and Cox added a goal in the second for a 4-1 Giants lead. The Rockets cut the difference to 4-3 after two periods, but Foster tallied with the man advantage early in the third period to put Vancouver up 5-3. The Rockets then scored three unanswered goals for the win. After a game last night (After Black Press deadlines) in Seattle against the Thunderbirds, the Giants will play at home to the Rockets Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Pacific Coliseum, then visit the Blazers in Kamloops Saturday evening.

▶ EVANISH ACHIEVES 100 CAREER POINTS from page 18

got the Hawks off to their fast start. Daniel Chifan made it 4-0 in the last minute of the opening period. Ilijah Colina in the second period and Bruce in the third closed out the scoring. Evanish and Michael Farren each had a pair of assists. The Royals gave Val-

ley West a tougher test Sunday morning at the Langley Events Centre. The teams were tied 1-1 after one period, and Valley West took a 2-1 lead into the third. Evanish tallied twice more, with Bosa adding one goal. “We had a bit of a let down. To be honest I was expecting it,” said Leung. “We had a big emotional win the night before and

clinched first place. It was important that we found a way to win in a game we weren’t playing very well in.” Evanish, from White Rock, had a five-point weekend and with 100 points has moved into second place in Valley West career scoring, behind only teammate James Malm and one up on Matt Bradley of Surrey, who is now with the Medicine Hat

Tigers of the Western Hockey League. The Hawks will close out the regular season in Nanaimo against the 5-27-6 (win-loss-tied) North Island Silvertips. “We’re focused on this weekend and taking four points from the Island,” said Leung. “We expect the games to be a little messy, North Island has very little left to play for.”

▶ TEAM AWARDS PRESENTED BY EAGLES from page 18

the team’s most valuable player. Jeff Stewart – a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum – was named the team’s rookie of the year; Laforest was named the team’s hardest worker; Gage Mackie earned “most-improved” honors and Matt Brown was named the team’s unsung hero. Forward Tyler Andrews was given the team’s “heart and soul” award; Tyler Cooper was named Surrey’s top defenceman and Darren Hards took the “fan favourite” title, despite playing just 28 games this season due to injury.

The Katronis Real Estate Team has been awarded the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for 2015. Presented by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award is awarded to the team who has the highest combination of total number of homes sold and the total dollar value of those homes. The 2015 results for the Katronis Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were 226 homes bought and sold, with an accumulated value of $130 million. Consequently, after beating out the 2,934 active members, the Katronis Real Estate Team was deemed the best real estate team in the Fraser Valley for the second year in a row. Team leader Edith Katronis started her career 34 years ago door-knocking the homes of Surrey. The team, which has grown over the years, currently includes five additional full-time realtors (including Edithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Jonathan Katronis) and four permanent staff members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so honoured that our team has won this prestigious award for the second year in a row,â&#x20AC;? Katronis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the best award we can receive is knowing our clients are happy with their new home purchases, and I am pleased that we accomplished this with over 230 deals last year.â&#x20AC;?
