hen i grew up, i idolized ozzy osborne. yes, it’s true. in my defense, he hadn’t beheaded any bats back then and he was the leader of a way-cool, anti-establishment metal band that sounded best when cranked to 11. others find their inspiration in the world of high-level sports. or acting. maybe they revere an activist or a writer. but often, the true heroes in our society do what they do without the bonus of big fame or big money. they do it quietly, selflessly and purely, simply because they’re really, really good people. Jordynn denness is really, really good people. in 2009, Jordynn was tripped, backwards, by a classmate. as far as “trips” go, this one was an avalanche. Jordynn landed on her head, severely fracturing her neck and injuring her brain in the process. she was all of 12 years old. today, Jordynn is 17. she sleeps more than most kids her age and she has trouble concentrating. she experiences moments of memory loss and she’s given up two of her passions – basketball and soccer – because her neck and back are now too fragile for either. total bummer? absolutely. but you can save your pity for someone who needs it. Jordynn, you see, has it seriously together. indeed, we should all be this together. first, there’s the Grade 12 grind – a beastly time for anyone. then there’s her role as a special olympics basketball coach at the newton recreation centre. and let’s not forget her main thrust these days: a volunteering position at peace arch hospital, where she regularly works

Jordynn dennes receives her overcoming adversity award along with Jaqui Joys of the rotary Club of White rock. (Photos: Gord GobLE) – and plays and makes great inroads – with dementia patients. how she has time to map out a future that (hopefully) includes the study of Kinesiology at Queen’s university is anyone’s guess. did i mention she’s just 17? what were you doing when you were 17? cranking your stereo to 11 and spinning the latest black sabbath album like some people? regardless, Jordynn was front and centre, along with a gaggle of equally impressive, equally heroic kids, friday night at the surrey arts centre for the fourth edition of the sassy awards. honouring youth achievement in surrey, the show was fun and bouncy and filled with top-grade entertainers (local songstress Jade and similarly local dance troupe spiral dance co rocked the joint), but the sassy nominees were clearly the stars of the evening. and deservedly so. first up was community service award recipient Karan Grover, an athlete, actor and

Karan Grover

Soohyun Kim

genuinely engaging guy who’s contributed an incredible 2,000-plus hours as a volunteer, both at school and at the ymca, since 2009. next was the environmental leadership award recipient soohyun Kim, a charming 15-year-old whose david suzuki-like work ethic and love for the natural world has extended to a variety of projects that may one day benefit all of us. manvir (monie) singh tutt then walked away with the international service award. the affable monie (pronounced “money”)

not only physically dwarfs most “grownup” folk, but is active on so many service levels one can be forgiven for thinking there were two or three monies walking the halls of st. George’s school. our friend Jordynn then took the overcoming adversity award, followed by performing & Visual arts recipient lexi calbery. you may have seen the energetic cirque surrey performer and instructor in the community, juggling or shuffling along on stilts or perhaps doing both simultaneously. the sportsmanship award went to colby peters, a multi-discipline athlete (soccer, volleyball, rugby) who not only plays the sports and plays them well, but also plays a leadership role within them. rounding out the evening was youth leadership award recipient Jaskirat sahni, a go-getting, socially conscious community volunteer who’s run campaigns benefitting worthy groups such as nightshift ministries and options. ultimately, 2014 was perhaps the finest sassy to date. of note was the new pre-awards ceremony where each and every nominee was called to the front and individually honoured. a great touch and certainly in keeping with the program’s everyone’s-a-winner theme. no less impactful was the switch in venues, from the cavernous bell performing arts centre to the smaller surrey arts centre. there was a real sense of intimacy friday night for both nominees and spectators. still, the place wasn’t packed. a bigger crowd next year would make a great early christmas gift to a whole bunch of caring, deserving kids who typically do what they do with little fanfare. are you listening, surrey?

another win for Surrey talent in $102.7K Peak contest Kristi alexandra

surrey — surrey’s Good for Grapes took home $102,700 on thursday night (nov. 20) after the band’s win at the peak performance project’s finale show at the commodore ballroom. the local folk sextet competed with the tourist company and derrival, the other peak performance project top-three bands. this marks the second year in a row that a surrey artist has earned the top prize. surrey-based singer/songwriter rykka won

the 2013 peak performance project. the project, overseen by music bc and 102.7 the peak radio station, is a sevenyear, $5.2-million commitment to fostering music in the province. the initiative just wrapped its sixth year. “all three (bands) just nailed it,” said music bc executive director bob d’eith. “there was no question (Good for Grapes) were on a trajectory for the top three from the beginning. it was just a question of where they were going to place; that was the key. they needed to do everything 100 per cent, and they did.” the band placed fourth in 2013’s peak

Surrey’s Central City brews up ‘The Hobbit’-inspired beers Tyler orton

business in Vancouver twitter @reporton

surrey — british columbians looking for a precious brew to give to that fantastic someone this holiday season won’t have to journey all the way to mordor. beers inspired by The Hobbit film series are on the way to store shelves. central city brewers has announced it’s releasing three beers in the coming weeks to

coincide with the dec. 17 release of the final installment of The Hobbit trilogy. the surrey craft beer maker will brew and sell Gollum precious pils, smaug stout (honouring the titular dragon that appeared in the previous film) and bolg belgian tripel (named after the ferocious orc). tim barnes, central city’s vice-president of sales and marketing, said the company began work on the arrangement in august after discovering a u.s.-based partner was close to a deal with warner brothers to

licence the fantasy trilogy’s brand. he then asked if his company could piggyback on the licensing agreement and get central city to brew the beer for canadians outside of Quebec. “as new movies come out, i think a beer that goes along with the movie is going to be something you see in the future,” barnes said, noting hbo’s fantasy series Game of Thrones began licensing its brand for brewers last year. “we want to position ourselves in the

market as potentially the canadian partner that is the go-to partner for that kind of release.” in october, central city and Vancouver’s parallel 49 brewery announced a collaboration on north america’s first advent-style holiday beer pack, which includes 24 craft brews packaged as mystery Gift holiday countdown. the limitedrelease pack retails for $74.95 in both alberta and british columbia.

CELEBRATING 17 YEARS IN SURREY

youTube prankster on a roll Kristi alexandra

now contributor twitter @kristialexandra

surrey — if you were recently chased through bear creek park by a sasquatch, chances are you were part of a hoax filmed by surrey’s youtube prankster who goes by the name ace Journey. the surrey resident, whose real name is harry (he asked not to be identified by his last name), is a recent graduate of sfu’s criminology program and, in his spare time, he likes to film pranks and hoaxes for his youtube channel, which recently surpassed 14,000 subscribers. “it’s a creative outlet, it’s just something that i do that’s fun,” harry told the Now. though the prankster now has a sizeable following and is even making a little money from the gag gig, he holds a nine-to-five in a not-so-funny industry and says his channel isn’t necessarily a career. “it’s fun, that’s the main reason i do it,” he said.“the other reason i do it is that it’s one of the only things in my life that keeps me in the moment. when you’re going to school or at work, sometimes you kind of think about other things. when i’m doing my pranks, that’s

the only time where i’m in the moment and i’m just focused on that.” you might recognize ace Journey from his recent videos where he stalked shoppers at the superstore on King George boulevard, or the one when he ace Journey walked up to people filling up at a surrey shell station and paid for their gas. and then there was the innocently flirtatious prank where he feigned spotting a spider on female students’ collars and instead produced a rose. “i started making videos a little over a year ago,” harry said, noting that the quick jump in subscribers came from two different shares on viral video facebook pages. “i started watching youtube videos and i’d see other pranksters and i was like, ‘you know what? i can totally do this.’” harry saw a lack of pranksters around the lower mainland and decided to make his mark.

Window walk a charitable experience adrian macNair

now staff twitter @adrianmacnair

surrey — the second annual santa window walk in whalley featured festive christmas art decorations, live musical performances and local charitable causes in need. the santa window walk was started by the surrey downtown business improvement association last year to combine all levels of the community by pairing local businesses, charities and art students. along King George boulevard, between 104th and 108th avenues, participating businesses had their windows designed by local students that incorporated festive motifs along with a local charity. the results were

revealed thursday (nov. 20). elizabeth model, ceo of the surrey downtown bia, said they expanded their efforts this year by getting more charities and businesses to participate. “it’s really good to find out what these charities are doing, the great work they’re doing in surrey for our citizens,” she said. the important part is just getting residents out walking around and experiencing what whalley has on offer. “there’s some real hidden gems in this area and people just don’t realize if they put their feet to the street and get out and walk you realize there’s some great businesses and ideas for christmas and local ethnic stores as well. it’s wonderful to see.” amacnair@ thenownewspaper.com

Lighted trucks to roll on dec. 7 surrey — prospera’s big rigs for Kids event will roll again on sunday, dec. 7. the christmas parade of lighted trucks will happen at holland park from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. earlier that day, at 5 p.m., the convoy rolls through cloverdale’s town centre. at holland park, reps with surrey food bank and surrey christmas bureau will be on site starting at 5:30 p.m. surrey lions will be selling hot dogs and hot chocolate, and carollers will sing starting at 6:15 p.m. more details are posted at downtownsurreybia.com.

What’s the big hurry, Surrey?

w

hat the heck is going on with all these crashes in surrey? same goes for delta. this past weekend wasn’t the first time this city has seen a spate of traffic crashes, and it certainly won’t be the last. (see page 13 for news story). while the causes of these particular crashes – one which cost a 40-year-old surrey man his life – are still being investigated, most result from speeding, impaired driving, distraction, driving too fast for road conditions and other high-risk driving behaviour like failing to yield the right of way, following other cars too closely, ignoring traffic signs and improper passing. check out icbc’s map of lower mainland crashes between 2009 and 2013 – all told, with each location marked with a dot, the map looks like a honeycomb. in 2013 in b.c., 28 per cent of fatal crashes involved speed, 29 per cent, distraction, and 23 per cent, impairment. between 2009 and 2013, 437 people were killed in crashes involving distracted driving, 716 in crashes involving high-risk driving, 230 in crashes where motorists were driving too fast for the road conditions. moreover, in that period, 428 were killed in impaired driving crashes and 533 died in crashes where speeding was involved. sobering statistics to consider, as we venture out on the road this busy, wet and dark time of the year. surrey rcmp cpl. bert paquet offers some advice that, while seemingly obvious, is nevertheless sound wisdom so many motorists fail to heed. “slow down, give yourself extra time to arrive wherever it is you are going.” and doing that, folks, is certainly worth everyone’s while. the now

your view

New voices would have been good for Surrey The Editor, congratulations to all the election winners, all of them members of the surrey first party, who now control every seat on council and the majority of school board. many people were surprised at the election sweep by surrey first. obviously, having a big money machine helped. money buys advantages. a surrey first sweep is bad for democracy. this year, surrey first trustees were able to ignore the many parents who expressed the need for a change when they realized how deeply the cuts have affected our schools.

door knocking, i found out many citizens are unsure of what goes on at school board meetings. few people realize the lack of openness and accountability. board discussions often take place behind closed doors and we don’t know how each trustee votes. Questions asked by the public are not recorded. where was the board during the teachers strike? they were silent. where was the board on the continuing cutbacks of the education system? silent. we need open, transparent board meetings with a chance for the public to hear and to be heard. we need a

Turnout hints at provincial shake-up InTheHouse Keith baldrey

t

he municipal election results in three key areas should cause alarm bells to ring in ndp circles, and celebration fireworks to go off in Green party ones and perhaps among b.c. liberals as well. in Vancouver, surrey and the capital region, voter turnout increased significantly – but relatively few of those new voters opted for ndp-linked candidates. instead, the Green party and centre-right parties were the chief recipients of the flood of new voters. those in the left in Vancouver are tearing their hair out because they think that the far-left cope party split the vote and cost Vision Vancouver support, but that’s not necessarily what happened. the real story is that the ndp is not getting new voters out, and that has dire implications for the party in the next provincial election if that trend holds. in Vancouver, for example, the Green party’s adrienne carr shot to the top of the council polls as she increased her support by more than 25,000 votes, which is somewhat staggering. the right-leaning npa boosted its council vote by roughly 12,000 votes. but while incumbent mayor Gregor robertson boosted his own totals slightly, the Vision/ndp vote was essentially stagnant, as its top candidate this year got slightly less than its top candidate in 2011.

the party also flatlined in the vote for school board, and lost control of the park board (this, even though 37,000 people voted who did not vote in 2011). it’s hard to see a credible argument that if cope were to disappear tomorrow, all of its supporters would flock to Vision. a significant number would, of course, but i fail to see any evidence to suggest most would. in fact, the vote for cope city council candidates actually dropped in this election, despite all those new voters. no, the story in Vancouver is that the Green party was able to greatly increase its support, while the npa also boosted its vote by a significant amount (the Greens also elected two parks board commissioners and hold the deciding vote on the school board, as their support shot up by 10,000 to 15,000 votes). in Victoria, the outcome was slightly more encouraging for the ndp, but the party lost the seemingly impregnable mayor’s chair to a Green-like candidate. lisa helps beat incumbent dean fortin, despite the fact the capital region’s ndp mlas all strongly endorsed him and publicly campaigned for him. helps’ victory sent a number of new democrats reeling. unlike Vancouver, Victoria’s municipal scene is less party-oriented, so it’s hard to make apples and apples comparisons on the council front, but it appears ndp-leaning candidates were able to take advantage of a higher turnout (almost 7,500) to slightly boost their winning totals from 2011. no so with fortin. his support actually dropped by almost 1,000 people, despite

that higher turnout. helps was propelled into office by new voters, many of them young and likely Green-oriented. considering the fact the Greens almost won the federal byelection in Victoria two years ago, helps’ win shouldn’t come as a total surprise. the capital region itself saw other Green candidates elected, including a new mayor in central saanich. these events suggest the ndp has work to do to consolidate one of its traditional strongholds. but i’d say right now, the odds favour the Greens stealing at least one more seat in the capital region in the 2017 provincial election. in surrey, the centre-right surrey first party steamrolled to victory in both city council and school board races, as again more new voters backed that party than any of the other alternatives. this put a big smile on the faces of bc liberals, who know surrey – not Vancouver – is one of the keys to them holding power in this province. there are two dozen provincial ridings spread among these three cities and regions. if a similar wave of new voters materialize in the 2017 provincial election and vote in similar patterns, the Greens could be the biggest benefactors. of course, this latest round of municipal elections – with the spike in voter turnout – may be an anomaly. but if it isn’t – if it is a sign of renewed interest in politics among those who never bothered to vote before – it could point to a big shake-up in future election outcomes in this province.

Child care too costly for Surrey families The Editor, families in surrey are paying the highest prices for child care in the province. this does not come as a surprise, as i have heard this concern from parents across the city worried about affordable, quality child care spaces. families in surrey need something more than the expensive patchwork of care options in our city. families are struggling to meet all of their needs and provide their children with the best care possible. i have committed myself to working on this issue and am working with my ndp colleagues to create a national child care program that would charge families no more than $15 per day. it will require a commitment of money from the federal government, but i can think of nothing more important to invest in than our children. children and families will not be the only ones to benefit from a national child care program. money invested in child care creates jobs for early childhood educators and allows parents to return to work. children in surrey and across the country deserve the best start we can give them. investing in affordable, quality child care will give them access to early childhood education, give families affordable options and help to create a stronger economy.

Parking tickets unfair but homeowners have role to play

The Editor, re: “ticketed residents riled over reconfiguration,” the Now, nov. 20. i too, am a resident of east clayton and actually live right behind the person interviewed in this article. i too, have been ticketed twice on this very road for the same infractions. i fought the ticket and lost. i agree that parking is a major issue in this area and very frustrating. it’s definitely a cash cow for the city, that’s for sure. however, i do disagree with the person interviewed in this article on a few points. the garages are not one-vehicle garages, they are twovehicle garages. we park both our vehicles in the garage and while it’s tight and doesn’t leave much room for storage, we make it happen.

i can’t tell you the number of residents in the area that use the garage solely for storage and park one, if not two, vehicles out on the road. this is a major factor on why parking is so bad in the area. if the city could enforce a resident-only parking system, with so many decals per household, this would force residents to pay for offsite storage or park their vehicles in their garages. the other spot that he refers to next to the garage? that’s a legal spot designated for the coach house tenant. it’s meant for the tenants that rent that suite. again, many landlords park their own vehicles in this spot and force another car out on the street. also, when people purchase houses, they know what car they drive and should consider the parking situation in the area they are buying. none of the houses in the area have

driveways so if you can’t fit your vehicle in the small garage, perhaps you shouldn’t buy in the area. so, while i don’t agree with the ticketing issue along 192nd street, i also feel that homeowners should be responsible and not contribute to the parking problem. denise marlin, Surrey

bylaw ‘enforcement’ ridiculous The Editor, re: “ticketed residents riled over reconfiguration,” the Now, nov. 20. in surrey, 192nd street was supposed to be a four-lane road but because people were up in arms about losing street parking, the city only put in two lanes and the silly bike lanes and posted signs saying still that it is only temporary parking. i have only once seen anyone using the bike lane – and that was today. i find it absolutely hilarious that people are getting ticketed for their car’s wheels touching the bike lane line. the article states that a bunch of streets like 194a street and 68th avenue will have parking changes coming and residents will be sent response cards, which are due dec. 19. i live on one of these streets and it is nov. 19 – when will these cards arrive? i am an owner of a single-family home and i have lived here for eight years. i am sick of the stupidity that goes on here because of the city’s inability to enforce parking bylaws or suite bylaws – or any bylaws at all. but parking on a line is worth enforcement? ridiculous.

election Q&a

Surrey, meet your new mayor amy reid

now staff twitter @amyreid87

t

he torch has officially been passed from Dianne Watts to Linda Hepner, as Surrey voters elected the former mayor’s chosen replacement. We sat down with Hepner days before election day to talk about her future as the city’s leader. How would you describe this election? “i think this election has certainly had more engagement from the community because i think when you’re changing mayors and many councillor seats, that creates more engagement. we’ve seen a lot more community interest than in the past two elections, at least. but i also think that there’s been a lot of – you always expect political rhetoric, you always know you’re going to hear rhetoric, but i think this one has been more destructive than i have seen in the past couple – one-trick ponies.” What were the highs and lows of the election for you? “i think the high has been community engagement and just talking with the residents of the city of surrey. that’s been the high for me. the low has been when you don’t have enough time in interviews or in debates to really define, in a broad way, the vision that you have because you’re caught up. there just isn’t enough time to do that. that, for me, has been a low because when i hear the city being trashed i really want to respond in a different format – all great cities are a work in progress…. trashing the city is never a way to get a good outcome. i would prefer a discussion that was more positive to our residents and more positive to the pride we’ve built in the transformation over the past nine years and constructive in solutions as opposed to destructive in fear mongering.” What are the first three things you will do as mayor?

brought that puzzle together into creating a connected city. that’s what i hope my legacy would be, that people would say, ‘wow, we are now together.’ we’ve got great sports fields, we’ve got great sporting opportunities, we have great arts and culture, and i can get on either a fast bus or a train and i can get to all these places. and i can have a little bit of nightlife if i want it in my own city. so i could walk to our public square and there’s little outside cafes and energy around that. i would feel i had done a good job if i could have that end result.”

Platform promises z surrey first’s $21-million crime platform promises 147 new police officers over two years. z hepner promises to hire a general manager of public safety and to appoint a “citizen advocate” for each district of the city to act as a liaison between the public and police. z hepner commits to completion of phase one of light rail in surrey by 2018. phase one includes a 10kilometre line connecting surrey city centre to Guildford along 104th avenue, and connecting city centre to newton along King George boulevard.

Linda Hepner is Surrey’s new mayor.

“public safety. i would ensure the hiring was concluded for the general manager of public safety. i would make sure that we have made the ask for the officers provincially and federally. and i want to have our business case done and ready to go relative to the light rail. i have made a commitment that in 2018 we will have light rail in this city. i now need to back that up in terms of sitting down with the city manager and say, ‘what does that mean for what stages we need to be at in order to accomplish that – design for stations, readying ourselves for the referendum?’ but then i need all the background work done and business work done if we’re going out for the public piece, if the referendum doesn’t go our way, i want all that prep work done.” What are your longer-term goals? “phase two of the light rail transit – completing that. and i will be excited to see

each of the town centres to have the kind of energy that we have now established within the city centre. so i want to see a different face in the newton downtown…. i think cloverdale has such a special gift for its street – it could be our robson street with little boutique shops, and the fairgrounds. i’d like to see a stadium, i’d like to see the performing arts. longer-term vision, now we’re really talking urban development and the kind of energy you would expect around a growing urban city. i’d also like to see a waterfront development – something done nicely in that area.” What do you hope your legacy will be as mayor? “i hope that people will look at the city and say that i have advanced arts and culture in the city and that i have made the city connected. that i have brought all those pieces that we started, and

What are the single best and worst things about the City of Surrey right now? “i think the best is that we come together so often in celebration. so i’m going to pick the residents because i think they love what we do when we’re doing a fusion festival or a canada day celebration. there’s such a sense of community around that. and i think that’s the best of surrey. and they’re well behaved. we can get 50,000 people together and everybody’s having a good time and to me, that is reflective of the best that we are. the worst? well i’ll tell you what makes me the maddest is when i see unkempt properties on the front page of a paper…. i don’t like seeing the escalating problems around empty properties or properties that are nuisance properties. we’ve developed a new bylaw around nuisance properties and it’s certainly gotten tighter but there are places in the city that are waiting to get developed that i think need a program of better care around how to handle them. they’re just eyesores. i don’t like that.” When you’re not running the city, what will people find you doing? “i’d be out playing road hockey and spending time with the kids. i’d also be doing a lot of walking because i enjoy doing that and exploring surrey through our parks. and then just spending time with friends.”

dangerous weekend on roads Tom Zytaruk

now staff twitter @tomzytaruk

surrey/delta — one man was killed this past weekend in one of three serious traffic crashes in surrey. the victim, a 40-year-old resident of surrey, died in hospital late sunday afternoon. his name has not been released. he was a passenger in a silver honda accord driven by a 17-year-old girl. police said the car was turning left onto 146th street off 108th avenue when it was t-boned by a honda crV driven by a 60year-old surrey woman. “the passenger in the silver honda accord was trapped in the vehicle and in full cardiac arrest when transported to hospital,” surrey rcmp staff sgt. murray hedderson said. the crash happened at 1:45 p.m. police are also investigating a hit-and-run crash in whalley saturday. a 69-year-old woman sustained severe injuries to her legs after being struck down as she was walking at 92nd avenue and King George boulevard at 5 p.m. “a witness reported seeing a white or

grey vehicle travelling northbound on King George boulevard at a high rate of speed from the scene of the collision,” hedderson said. shortly after 7 a.m. that morning, a grey 2002 honda van slammed into a bus stop on 96th avenue near 140th street. two passengers were taken to hospital by ambulance while the driver was treated at the scene. “alcohol appears to be a contributing factor in the collision, and the passengers possibly failing to wear seatbelts may have been a factor in the injuries to the occupants of the vehicle,” hedderson said. police ask witnesses to any of these crashes to contact the surrey rcmp at 604599-0502 or call crime stoppers. meantime, delta was also the scene of a spectacular series of crashes sunday morning on the alex fraser bridge, near nordel way. delta firefighters freed two victims, from separate vehicles, using the Jaws of life. they were taken to royal columbian hospital with serious injuries. motorists involved in a first crash reportedly ran across the freeway, resulting in a second traffic collision. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Panorama ridge win provincial crown Kyle benning

now contributor twitter @kbbenning

burnaby — panorama ridge’s boys soccer captain Kerman pannu must have been pinching himself all weekend. he scored all goals in the thunder’s 3-0 triple a provincial championship victory over defending champions sutherland secondary on saturday (nov. 22). “that’s something you dream of,” said the tournament’s most valuable player. “Get a hat trick in the final and take your shirt off. when it actually happened, i was 100 per cent (sure) it was coming off.” panorama ridge went through the five-game tournament conceding only one goal in their 2-1 semifinal win over neighbours and fraser Valley

champions tamanawis secondary. “it really speaks to the true quality, not only on our back line and our keeper, but our whole team,” said head coach paul nowakowski. nowakowski said he was extremely proud of the team for their defensive display and for the journey the players went on after finishing fifth last year. “we went through ups and downs … but it only made our team stronger. and for it to pay off here on this field today against the defending champions, i couldn’t be more happy for the guys,” the coach added. the thunder finished third in the Valley, but added former whitecaps residency defender manraj bains to their roster prior to the provincial championships. the first marker didn’t come until first-half injury

the goal. pannu, who’s committed to playing for the ubc thunderbirds next season, completed his hat trick two minutes before the final whistle, when he scored another header from an outswinging corner kick. “all three goals were world class,” nowakowski said. in their loss to the eventual

champions, tamanawis wildcats had a man sent off after a second yellow card early in the second half. they were also leading the game 1-0, but allowed two goals once they went down to 10 men. tamanawis finished in fourth place after losing 4-0 in the bronze-medal game against dr. charles best.

earl marriott, which finished fifth in the fraser Valley, finished in the same spot in provincials after beating sullivan heights after the scoreless game went to a penalty shootout. the mariners won 4-3 on penalties. tyler Ginthir, earl marriott’s head coach, said it was a good way for his seniors to end their high school playing days. “they’ve played together on club teams since they were kids,” Ginthir said. “it was good to bring it together in their last year and have a good result like this.” sullivan stars coach Gary atwal arguably had the toughest test of all the surrey teams, having been put in the same group as sutherland, reynolds and mount baker – all teams, like the stars, who were at the provincials last year. “we’re kind of disappointed not to get to the top four, but after we lost a heartbreaker to sutherland, our boys regrouped well to make sure they got to the fifth-place game,” he said. despite not making a semifinal appearance, the stars coach is proud of the team he’s had for five consecutive years. “(i’ve) seen them go from little boys to men ready to leave high school. i’m proud of them,” atwal added.

Holy Cross guard to follow in footsteps of Steve Nash nicole Vander helm commits to play ncaa div. 1 basketball with santa clara university Kyle benning

now contributor twitter @kbbenning

fleetwood — after a tough third-place finish at last year’s provincial championships, nicole Vander helm is looking forward to basketball season. the holy cross student has committed to attend and play for santa clara university next season, receiving a full-ride scholarship. Vander helm, who was named a first-team all star at last year’s provincial championships, is excited to attend the same university as two-time nba mVp steve nash. “i’ve always kind of looked up to him as a player. Knowing i’m ending up where he did is kind of cool,” she said. the six-foot tall guard had five official visits to ncaa universities planned during august, but didn’t attend the last three after visiting the santa clara campus. “the people were amazing. the coaches, the teammates,” said Vander helm. this will be the Grade 12 student’s third season playing in the senior girls’ division. steve beauchamp, her coach, is looking to her to be a leader on the court. “last year … i had more phone calls from u.s. schools interested in those players and especially interested in nicole,” beauchamp said. “i’ve never had this many phone calls before about a player.” the crusaders coach

I’ve always kind of looked up to (Steve Nash) as a player. Knowing I’m ending up where he did is kind of cool.

admitted that Vander helm has a lot less to worry about this year with her future already decided. “it’s a huge lift off nicole’s shoulders. this whole decision of what to do, where to play, what to do next year has been weighing on her since the end of the season last year,” he said. beauchamp said the player is not afraid to ask for help, whether it’s from him, former women’s national team coach allison mcneill or her neighbour mario luongo. he recalls a time when Vander helm had to miss a team trip to hawaii so she could try out for the cadet national team. she was one of the final cuts and when she asked why she didn’t make it, they told her it was because her shooting wasn’t strong enough. “for the next six months (she was) in the gym with me, in the gym on her own … and it’s all about shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting,” the coach said. “she uses it as motivation to say, ‘what do i need to do? because i want to make that team.’” kyle.benning@gmail.com

play Eagles trade captain to Calgary surrey – after a road trip to prince George, the surrey eagles returned to the lower mainland empty-handed and extended their losing streak to 12 games. management decided it was time for a change, trading captain chase mcmurphy to calgary canucks of the alberta Junior hockey league for the defensive pair of owen Johnson and Jordan wiest. “sometimes when you’re on a bit of a slide … it’s important to bring a jolt in the lineup,” said head coach blaine neufeld. “this is something we thought we had to do to spark our group.” neufeld added the tandem played

together for the canucks and the 19-yearolds complement each other on the ice. “they’ll be able to jump in on wednesday and be able to make an immediate difference,” he added. the eagles have given up 83 goals over the 12-game slide. the eagles fell 5-2 in langley on friday (nov. 21) before losing 6-2 at home to alberni Valley on saturday. the team’s next game is at home to langley on wednesday (nov. 26). this weekend, the eagles have a home-and-away series against chilliwack.

Tweedsmuir falls short Kyle benning

now contributor twitter @kbbenning

richmond — even though lord tweedsmuir’s backfield racked up a combined 222 yards on the ground, the panthers were unable to get past the stingy south delta defence in their 9-7 quarterfinal defeat on friday (nov. 21). caleb abraham ran for 121 yards on 21 carries, including a touchdown, while colton Zayshley recorded 101 yards on 12 carries in provincial playoff action at minoru park in richmond. the panthers started the day down two of their starters, KJ Johnson and Jag dhami, before starting quarterback Jonny chwaklinski took a hit that would end his game on tweedsmuir’s first offensive play. it was a blow on both sides of the ball, as Johnson led the team in receiving yards and interceptions while chwaklinski is a starting cornerback. “our kids who started throughout the season weren’t here, and it was all stuff out of our control,” said head coach Kurt thornton. playing in heavy rain resulted in both teams fumbling the ball on several occasions.

“both teams put the ball on the ground a couple of times and ours just seemed a little more inopportune than theirs,” thornton said. the coach added the team had some missed turnover opportunities at key moments in the game that could have shifted momentum in their favour. thornton said the defence played very well, limiting south delta to nine points. abraham and Zayshley led the defence with seven tackles each with the latter also recording an interception. he also said sun devils’ lucas Kirk hurt the panthers with his legs more than his arm at times. the elusive quarterback was able to pick up several first downs by getting outside of the pocket and running in the open field. Kirk threw for 188 yards, completing 13 of 23 passes and scrambled for 70 yards. in the double a competition, seaquam seahawks lost their quarter-final game 2724 to John barsby on saturday. -with a file from delta optimist

Panorama ridge wins provincial crown Kyle benning

now contributor twitter @kbbenning

burnaby — panorama ridge’s boys soccer captain Kerman pannu must have been pinching himself all weekend. he scored all goals in the thunder’s 3-0 triple a provincial championship victory over defending champions sutherland secondary on saturday (nov. 22). “that’s something you dream of,” said the tournament’s most valuable player. “Get a hat trick in the final and take your shirt off.

when it actually happened, i was 100 per cent (sure) it was coming off.” panorama ridge went through the five-game tournament conceding only one goal in their 2-1 semifinal win over neighbours and fraser Valley champions tamanawis secondary. “it really speaks to the true quality, not only on our back line and our keeper, but our whole team,” said head coach paul nowakowski. nowakowski said he was extremely proud of the team for their defensive display and for the journey

today against the defending champions, i couldn’t be more happy for the guys,” the coach added. the thunder finished third in the Valley, but added former whitecaps residency defender manraj bains to their roster prior to the provincial championships. the first marker didn’t come until first-half injury time when pannu scored a top-drawer direct free kick from just outside the 18-yard box. twenty-five minutes into the second half, the skipper added his second goal on a panorama ridge counter attack that ended with pannu getting his head on the end of a cross and placing it in the top right-hand corner of the goal. pannu, who’s committed to playing for the ubc thunderbirds next season, completed his hat trick two minutes before the final whistle, when he scored another header from an outswinging corner kick. “all three goals were world class,” nowakowski said. in their loss to the eventual champions, tamanawis wildcats had a man sent off after a second yellow card early in the second half. they were also leading the game 1-0, but allowed two goals once they went down to 10 men. tamanawis finished in fourth place after losing 4-0 in the bronze-medal game against dr. charles best. earl marriott, which finished fifth in the fraser Valley, finished in the same

spot in provincials after beating sullivan heights after the scoreless game went to a penalty shootout. the mariners won 4-3 on penalties. tyler Ginthir, earl marriott’s head coach, said it was a good way for his seniors to end their high school playing days. “they’ve played together on club teams since they were kids,” Ginthir said. “it was good to bring it together in their last year and have a good result like this.” sullivan stars coach Gary atwal arguably had the toughest test of all the surrey teams, having been put in the same group as sutherland, reynolds and mount baker – all teams, like the stars, who were at the provincials last year. “we’re kind of disappointed not to get to the top four, but after we lost a heartbreaker to sutherland, our boys regrouped well to make sure they got to the fifth-place game,” he said. despite not making a semifinal appearance, the stars coach is proud of the team he’s had for five consecutive years. “(i’ve) seen them go from little boys to men ready to leave high school. i’m proud of them,” atwal added.
