City’s ﬁnance team working out the details of 2012 budget

Surrey taxes on the rise next year by Kevin Diakiw TAX BILLS ARE expected to jump by at least $90 next year for the average home in Surrey if the budget is adopted as planned next month. Coun. Tom Gill, who chairs the city’s finance committee, is calling for a “status quo” budget in keeping with the 2011 five-year plan. It means a 2.9 per cent tax increase ($38 on the average home worth $575,000) and a one per cent road levy ($13.50). Staff say that water and sewer services will see similar increases to last year, meaning hikes of $27 for water and $13 for sewer. There’s an expected increase for waste disposal, but that won’t be known yet. In all, it means the total bill for the average Surrey home will go from $2,731 to at least $2,820. Of that, $1,400 is solely property tax, with the remainder a combination of utilities and other fees. The city points out it’s still one of the lowest tax rates in the region. Surrey is also expected to hire eight more firefighters next year. And while the 2010 five year operating plan called for no new police officers next year, Surrey First promised 10 more in each of the next three years. They are planned for next year’s budget. About half of next year’s increase comes by way of utility costs, including water, sewer and Tom Gill waste disposal, which are largely driven by rates set by Metro Vancouver and third-party contracts. Surrey just signed a contract with BFI for the city’s curbside waste pickup, and Gill is in the throes of figuring out how that will impact residential rates. One of the undetermined factors is whether the city will spend $1.5 million over 10 years on new waste containers or pay for all of them up front. Until such details are known, it’s hard to say exactly how next year’s garbage hauling costs will affect individual tax bills. The road levy – due to expire last year – will continue until 2015. The initial purpose for the levy was for work on local side roads. It will now help pay for improvements on major arterials, such as King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway. The city’s finance committee is expected to consider the 2012 budget on Jan. 16.

Councillors to head all committees Critics say the move will quell criticism of Surrey policy by Kevin Diakiw SURREY CITY COUNCIL has appointed councillors as chair of each of the city’s select committees – a move which some believe will quell any opposing voice to council’s objectives. On Dec. 12, Surrey council held a closed door meeting where it was decided that councillors would chair each of the city’s committees. That had already been the case in most committees, with the exception of the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) and the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC). The EAC had publicly criticized council policies more than once.

On one occasion, committee chair Al Schultze appeared before council calling Surrey a “laggard, not a leader” in the banning of cosmetic use of pesticides. More recently, the committee asked for, and was denied, an audience before council regarding Grandview 4 development plans which the committee feared would damage valuable habitat. Committees agree having a council member as chair will be a change, but they’re reserving judgement as to whether it will be better or worse. Outgoing chair of the AAC Michael Bose said it’s going to be strange, after 16 years as chair, to sit on the committee as a regular member. He’s been told that council is making councillors chairs because it wants “consistency” amongst commit-

tees. Bose says he understands what council is trying to achieve, but notes there will be hurdles. “It’s going to be interesting to see how it goes,” said Bose, adding that keeping the committee motivated will be a challenge. “It’s actually a lot of work to make sure there are new and fresh challenges for the committee.” Schultze said he received a memo from the city clerk saying council has decided to appoint a councillor to chair his committee. Schultze said his term as chair was coming up, so it makes no difference to him. “I have no idea whether they want to have more control over their committees or what, I don’t know,” Schultze said. “It’s something to be determined.” See BOSE / Page 4

It’s in him to give – again and again Surrey man makes his 100th blood donation just days before Christmas by Boaz Joseph SANTA’S GOING TO have one Surrey man on his nice list for sure this year. Last Saturday morning, eight days before Christmas, John Bullock donated blood for the 100th time. Bullock, 47, been donating since his early 20s. “He just crawls himself out of bed and makes his way over here every 56 days,” said wife Sue, who, with the family’s three sons, surprised John with red balloons and John Bullock cake at the Canadian Blood Services clinic. He made his first donation at a Canadian Red Cross mobile clinic at the Guildford Library. He continued, he says, because “I just thought it was the right thing to do.” During each visit, he makes an appointment for the next one eight weeks in advance.

“I don’t have a lot of money for charity, so this is my charity.”

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

John Bullock’s family – wife Sue and sons Cody, Brady (hidden) and Bailey – check out photos they’ve taken of him at his 100th blood donation at the Canadian Blood Services clinic in Surrey on Saturday. “I don’t have a lot of money for charity, so this is my charity. And I know that 100 per cent of what I do is going to the charity.” Blood isn’t the only thing Bullock had donated. On Nov. 2, 1010, after being found a rare match, Bullock made a bone marrow stem cell donation – in a new non-invasive procedure – to a cancer patient in Eastern Canada.

He had been on the bone marrow donor list for 17 years. Donations of blood are especially needed during the holidays. One donation can save up to three lives. The Surrey Blood Donor Clinic is located at #10, 6830 King George Blvd. Appointments to donate blood can be made by calling 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or online at www.blood.ca bjoseph@surreyleader.com

Hwy 1/Port Mann on schedule, on budget New bridge connecting Surrey and Coquitlam set to open in late 2012 by Tricia Leslie DRIVERS HAVE no doubt noticed a few

The new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge is on track for opening about a year from now, say ofﬁcials.

additional changes around Highway 1 access and exit points in Surrey lately. New traffic patterns at the 176 Street interchange took effect last week, shifting vehicles to the new 176 Street overpass. As well, there are detours and lane closures at Highway 1 and 160 Street, scheduled between midnight and 4 a.m. The changes are all related to the ongoing Port Mann Bridge/Highway 1 improvement project, which will eventually mean a new, 10-lane Port Mann Bridge, among other upgrades. The entire project, which spans about

37 kilometres – from McGill Street in Vancouver to 216 Street in Langley – includes the construction of the new bridge, widening the highway, upgrading interchanges, and improving access and safety on Highway 1. Construction began in March 2009, but the planning began years earlier, according to project spokeswoman Pam Ryan. “In 2003, when we first started planning, congestion (on Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge) was already at 13 hours a day, by our estimate,” she said. Ryan said ongoing improvements – scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013 – will help reduce congestion-related idling, lower costs for truckers and goods

movers, and give people on the road flexibility and options so that one car accident won’t jam up the entire regional transportation corridor. “People will be able to save up to an hour a day,” Ryan said. The new bridge is scheduled to open in winter of 2012-2013, likely December, she noted, and all is proceeding on schedule and on budget – $3.3 billion for the total project cost and $2.46 billion for the design-build contract. Even though the bridge will initially open with eight lanes (four in each direction), Ryan said “that basically doubles See BRIDGE / Page 4

nine are being replaced, including 152, 160 and 176 Streets in Surrey. At the Cape Horn interchange, 15 new overpasses and underpasses are being built or rebuilt. “Things are going very well on the Surrey side (of the bridge),” Ryan said. “We passed the 50-percent complete mark in August, despite the wet summer.” Special-purpose highway ramps (HOV/transit ramps, trucks-only ramps) are being included at five locations: Grandview Highway, Government Street, 202 Street, United Boulevard and 156 Street. A new eastbound ramp is underway at 160 Street, while the Barnston Drive overpass should be open for public use this month or in January. Drivers should

expect changes exiting the Port Mann Bridge onto 152 Street in the new year, Ryan said, as crews remove the old overpass and build a new ramp. So far, motorists have been understanding about the construction and why it is needed, she said. The current bridge was built in the early 1960s when the population of Metro Vancouver was 800,000. Today, the bridge serves more than 800,000 vehicles in a single week. “We understand a lot of people really want the project to be completed,” Ryan said.

MPs just Newton decorations only tacky to some spend and waste I RECENTLY READ a lot of letters complain-

REGARDING THE Dec. 15 article

“Surrey MP third-highest spender in B.C.”: Nina Grewal says leaflets are to blame. My daughter received three separate invitations for a Christmas open house. All were postmarked Dec. 1 within nine minutes of each other. If Nina knows this is happening maybe someone should be checking this out instead of wasting our tax dollars. Do we not pay them to do their job correctly?

ing about the colorful Christmas lights on 72 Avenue in the Newton area. It’s always good to keep an open mind. The person who chose these lights may have liked the colors and thought that they were something different from the traditional Christmas colors such as red and green. Rather then complaining and making

assumptions that this is a cultural issue, maybe we should take into consideration that people have different choices. To some, this may be tacky; to others it is beautiful. It’s always good to have diversity. Has anyone thought about taking time to write about the beautiful lights on King George Boulevard around the Whalley/Guildford area? Maybe we can all stop complaining and

appreciate what we have rather than going on about what we don’t. There are people out there without homes and food this Christmas, so we need to all be very thankful for what we have. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.

Holy day not just a ‘holiday’ CHRISTMAS IS one of my favorite

The season of giving (to MPs) ARE WE FORTUNATE to have local

politicians like MPs Nina Grewal and Russ Hiebert representing us in Ottawa? Two years ago, Russ Hiebert helped the taxpayer give, by receiving the largest MP expense account in B.C. This year is Nina Grewal’s turn to be number three. Understanding the meaning of the saying “it is more blessed to give than to receive” is special at this time of year. Thanks to both of you for creating the opportunity for each citizen to give. Andrew Block, Delta

Use your own money, Nina, not mine CONCERNING MPS’ expenses, it

would be much easier to determine if an MP was stepping over the line in their spending if we had a breakdown of their common expenses. Nina Grewal may live in Western Canada, but it is hard to believe that the $110,626 she spent, more than the average Canadian MP, is because of travel. I would also feel much better if the ad she placed of her Christmas wish on page 13 of the Leader came out of her personal bank account and not mine. John White, Surrey

times of the year. No, not because of the big red man who gives children their toys, but because of our saviour’s birth. Today, the main excitement for Christmas is Santa Claus. Not that I don’t like Santa, I do. I just want everyone to know that there is a deeper meaning. Being Catholic, I was raised to respect my religion and Jesus. Christmas is also a time for spending with family and appreciating what you have. In my opinion, I don’t agree with the advertisements wishing people “Happy Holidays”. I can say that during summer break. It is a holiday isn’t it? You wish people for Diwali, Vaisakhi and Chinese New Year. If Canada is so multicultural, why are people afraid to say “Merry Christmas”? Hopefully families will open their eyes and understand the true meaning of Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas.

Be visible and be safe I CANNOT AGREE more with Sabrina

Hingston (Letters, Dec 15.) Not just senior pedestrians, but rather all pedestrian should not jaywalk at all. It is especially dangerous in the winter months and it makes it worst if they are wearing dark clothes. I am a transit bus driver and I see people putting their own lives at risk of being hit by motorist by not wearing bright clothing. Luckily, transit operators are welltrained and we had averted many accidents.

Because we are well-trained also means that we don’t slam on the brakes at the last instant as we approach a bus stop. If you are waiting for the bus wearing dark clothing and keeping as still as a pole, we simply cannot see you and if we miss you, you may learn that bus drivers are not equipped with night-vision goggles to look out for you. Enjoy the rest of the winter season, be visible and stay safe. Sam G.J. Teo, Surrey

A thank-you to strangers THANKS TO two com-

plete strangers, my husband is alive and with us this Christmas. On Saturday, my husband suffered a stroke while shopping at Guildford Town Centre. Two people came to his aid out in the parking lot while he stumbled around on the ground trying to figure out why

he couldn’t stand up. A lot of people would have just turned a blind eye and made a comment about another “bum”. These two people came to his assistance and saved his life by calling an ambulance immediately. He is in hospital and doing well.

A big thank-you to you both from all our family. Thanks for caring and Merry Christmas. A big thanks to all our family friends coworkers and neighbours for all your kind wishes and help. Jackie Sjostrom Surrey

Bring back spring cleanup I HAVE TO agree with Danna Casto (“Trashed Surrey detailed on blog,” The Leader, Dec. 20). They state of North Surrey is bad, and getting worse. I have lived in Surrey since 2006, and seen a dramatic increase in trash littered along the side of the road. Not just trash, but furniture of all kinds. It’s really quite sad. We are told that Dianne Watts is trying to clean up Whalley, which is great, and I am seeing good things all the time, but shouldn’t part of the “clean up” include trash? I really think that council should seriously consider bringing back spring cleanup to all of Surrey, not just North Delta. I think that people would normally store all their junk

in the basement, garage or shed over the year, then haul it out to the curb for cleanup. Well now, I think there is a bit of frustration. They know it won’t be picked up so they are either too lazy or can’t afford to take a load to the dump, so what do they do? They go dump it on the side of the road, knowing that eventually the city will come get it. The city spent $830,000 to clean up illegal dumping. How much more could the spring clean collection be?

Critics say email shows salmon bias Cohen inquiry ends with fresh controversy over inspectors and virus tests by Jeff Nagel FEDERAL officials in charge of fish disease testing are denying they deliberately set out to quash claims that a dangerous salmon virus has been detected this fall in wild Pacific stocks. The Cohen Commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon heard new evidence Friday (Dec. 16) that critics say suggests federal agencies were willing to suppress

the truth about risks to salmon to protect industry and trade. One email entered in evidence came from a B.C. manager of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which swiftly investigated alleged findings of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) virus and then refuted those reports. Joseph Beres wrote to CFIA colleagues Nov. 9 to praise their “very successful performance”

in briefing the media on their initial findings refuting the independent tests. “It is clear that we are turning the PR tide to our favour,” Beres said in the email. “One battle is won, now we have to nail the surveillance piece, and we will win the war also.” Dr. Kim Klotins, the acting national manager of disease control contingency planning at the CFIA, said staff can get “a little bit exuberant” in

internal emails. “I really can’t speak to what he was thinking,” she said under crossexamination. “My read is there is not a particular viewpoint that we’re following,” Klotins told the commission. “The point of surveillance is to find out if it is there or is not there.” Dr. Stephen Stephen, the director of DFO’s Biotechnology and Aquatic Animal Health Sciences Branch, also

rejected suggestions federal employees prejudged this fall’s ISA investigation. “We’re not about disproving anything,” he said. “We’re about proving the facts.” He and other federal panelists defended CFIA’s recent determination that re-testing failed to confirm any presence of ISA in several wild salmon collected separately by SFU professor Rick Routledge and independent

Bruce Cohen biologist Alexandra Morton. Stephen said the need for accuracy in announcing disease findings is critical, because of potential major impacts to international and domestic trade, as well as fishermen, fish farmers and First Nations. Some of the scientists who conducted the lab tests for Routledge and Morton that delivered the initial positive results testified they felt attacked or intimidated by CFIA during the follow-up investigation. Ottawa was mainly interested in finding faults with their methodology, they said. CFIA witnesses said they sought to determine if the samples had been cross-contaminated with the virus in the lab or if other handling procedures led to an erroneous result. DFO researcher Kristi Miller also told the inquiry in its final days that the ISA virus or something very similar

may have been present in wild B.C. salmon for up to 25 years. The CFIA has promised systematic salmon sampling to test for ISA in B.C. waters starting next year. The latest testimony came in the final days of the inquiry, which wrapped up hearings Dec. 19. A final report and recommendations are due by next June. Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said he believes ISA is present in B.C. on the basis of the initial tests, although he said it’s unclear what threat, if any, the virus – which has ravaged farmed salmon elsewhere in the world – actually poses to wild salmon. “The bigger question is what is government doing to protect our interests as opposed to protecting very narrow interests like salmon farming and international,” Orr said in an interview. He said the latest email makes it hard to trust the federal agencies. “Salmon is a public resource,” Orr said. “We’ve seen all kinds of evidence throughout Cohen that government information control is really restricting independent science within DFO. Science is completely intertwined with politics.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

Craig Hall and partner held up businesses in 2010 THE SECOND of two men involved in armed robberies in North Delta and Surrey last year pleaded guilty in Surrey Provincial Court last week. On Dec. 16, Craig Hall, 25, admitted to a string of 13 offences – including robbery, possession of stolen property and several weapons offences – in connection with incidents in October 2010. Hall and Dylan Dempsey, who was 18 at the time, began by robbing a fast food outlet in North Delta near 120 Street and 73

Avenue on the morning of Oct. 22. Their faces were covered and they were carrying what police said appeared to be a sawed-off shotgun and machete. Just 20 minutes later, there was another armed robbery at a store near 132 Street and 85 Avenue in Surrey. The getaway car was spotted by a Surrey RCMP officer a few minutes after the second holdup. When the driver realized he was being followed, he hit the gas pedal and started weaving through traffic.

Criminal to stay in prison Bradley Antrobus sentenced for pub arson among other convictions by Sheila Reynolds A PROLIFIC SURREY criminal will spend the next couple of years in jail for setting fire to a Delta pub last year. Bradley Thomas Antrobus was sentenced in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday (Dec. 15) to two years and four months in prison for the arson that destroyed the Tidewaters Pub & Grill in May 2010. Antrobus, who was already in custody on other charges, pleaded guilty to the arson charge last month. The judge also imposed a lifetime firearms prohibition. However, the 28-year-old also faced sentencing for a string of other, unrelated charges as well. He pleaded guilty in November to forcible confinement in connection to an April 2010 incident in Surrey and was handed a two-year jail sentence on Thursday. Related charges of robbery and uttering threats were stayed. As well, Antrobus faced 25 counts of theft-related charges from June 2010, including mail theft, as well as four firearms charges. While 15 of those charges were stayed, he was sentenced to a year in jail for the rest. Antrobus’s criminal record is lengthy, dating back to 2004 when he was found guilty of possessing break-in instruments in Delta. Since then, he’s faced multiple charges of drug possession, theft, possession of stolen property, break and enter, breaching probation and carrying a weapon. In 2006, he made two most-wanted lists: as one of the top five sought by Surrey RCMP, and as one of the 10-most-wanted by the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). sreynolds@surreyleader.com

An RCMP officer used a police cruiser to block the path of the fleeing Honda. The thieves slammed into the police car, then proceeded to try to back up to escape. But by that time, several other officers were on scene and the two suspects were arrested. The getaway car, it turned out, was stolen.

their councils. Moore will decide whether to restructure the Metro committee system and which directors will chair and serve on each one – tasks that can come with a high profile. Moore had been most prominent in regional politics as chair of the waste management committee that led a sometimes contentious set of public meetings on the solid waste plan. He is not a member of any political party but was a BC Liberal member a few years

ago. “I’m a pretty centerof-the-road kind of guy,” Moore said, adding social issues including homelessness are major concerns for him. The 41-year-old father is a former Port Coquitlam youth worker and urban planner whose hobby is building websites for non-profits. After getting a master’s degree in business, Moore served two terms on Port Coquitlam council before being elected mayor in 2008 and was re-elected in November.

Walton had considered running for the Metro chair but decided to instead support Moore, who he said was a “better candidate than me” and who did “an outstanding job” handling the difficult and controversial waste strategy. “He has superb people skills,” Walton said, adding that if there was any “horse-trading” that secured Moore’s unopposed run he was not part of it. Walton is currently chair of the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, which controls TransLink tax

increases. That position is up for election in January. He said he’s thinking of seeking the position again, but hasn’t made a final decision. Walton led the mayors to a deal with transportation minister Blair Lekstrom that delivers a two-cent gas tax hike for TransLink in order to launch work on the Evergreen Line. But the next mayors council chair will have to continue negotiating with the province to secure new funding sources which are almost guaranteed to be highly controversial.

The force in British Columbia is the largest in the country and includes about 6,000 officers. The RCMP has been pummelled by problems, the most recent being allegations of sexual harassment and bullying by female officers. Callens said that while Mounties need to focus on stopping crime, there also needs to be an improvement in members’ behaviour. Callens joined the RCMP in 1985.

Granting Niqo’s wish Special needs student gets gift from fellow students Black Press HE’S AN avid hockey

fan. So when Niqo, a Grade 8 student at L.A. Matheson Secondary, received a pre-Christmas gift from a class of older students this week, he was pretty much floored. Thanks to teacher Ami Kambo’s Grade 12 English class, Niqo, his sister and parents attended Monday’s Canucks game against

the Minnesota Wild. And Niqo was wearing his new blue and green jersey, too. A special needs student at the Surrey high school, Niqo picks up the paper recycling from the Grade 12 students’ class every week. The students took a liking to their younger schoolmate and his mature and gentle personality and decided they wanted to make one of his

wishes come true. They all pitched in to buy the hockey tickets

and jersey and presented them Wednesday to a surprised Niqo.

Anesthesiologists vow April job action Threat comes on same day province announces new 24/7 obstetrics anesthesia by Tricia Leslie A NEW agreement that

supports obstetrical anesthesia 24 hours a day, seven days a week in B.C. was announced by the provincial gov-

ernment on Dec. 13. While that news is welcome, the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society (BCAS) – which issued a media advisory Monday regarding its Tuesday morning press

conference – said it simply illustrates an ongoing problem: the lack of any kind of process for the BCAS to communicate with government to resolve several issues, includ-

ing the need for 24/7 anesthesiologists in B.C. obstetrics wards. Anesthesiologists still plans to withdraw elective services as of April 1, despite the province’s “convenient” announce-

ment, said BCAS executive director Dr. Roland Orfaly. He said the timing of the Ministry of Health release was interesting. “The first we heard of it was at 10:15 this morning,” he said Tuesday. The BCAS press conference started at 10:30 a.m. “We had no idea the government was even talking to anyone on that issue. We were certainly not part of the process.” Orfaly said the BCAS has been trying for years to create a process in which it can come to the table with government representatives to address issues including wait times for surgery to patient safety issues (including the need for 24/7 obstetrics anesthesiologists) to perioperative efficiency issues. “Right now, there is no process. An agreement was signed two years ago today where they promised us there would be a process in place by 2011,” he said. “We’re still waiting.

We’ve been waiting for years for the government to address all problems regarding anesthetic care.” Orfaly said instead of increasing ORs and funding, more could be done with existing resources. “(The provincial government) is just throwing money at the symptoms of the problems,” he said. “It’s not about more money. It’s about not wasting the money we have.” The Ministry of Health said the “milestone” agreement with the B.C. Medical Association (BCMA) paves the way for 24/7 obstetrical anesthesia services in all of B.C.’s tertiary care maternity hospitals to better support highrisk pregnant women and their babies. Funding will come from “the allocation of $2.5 million in unspent funding from the current Physician Master Agreement between the province and the BCMA.” B.C. Women’s

Hospital already has a dedicated obstetrical anesthesiology (DOBA) service in place, said the province, and the new funding will help support services at B.C.’s other level three maternity hospitals – Surrey Memorial, Victoria General and Royal Columbian. Orfaly said in the past, the BCAS has offered the government $3 million of its own funding to help provide 24/7 obstetrics care, but that the government didn’t want to talk. The ministry release says the BCAS “has yet to submit any formal proposal”, but “looks forward to hearing more details on this funding from the society.” The BCAS does not take the planned job action lightly, Orfaly noted. “All we’re asking for is a process.” Health Minister Mike de Jong did not respond to requests for an interview. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Packing salvation

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Robert Schneider, a Surrey Salvation Army volunteer, packs up a Christmas hamper on Dec. 13. The Salvation Army handed out more 1,000 hampers to needy individuals, families and singles.

Fleetwood Fastpitch Association collected $1,045 in gift cards, 50 boxes of food and gifts for two families in their annual hamper drive. The collection will help a total of five children and their parents. Next March 13, the association will collect money for Surrey firefighters’ charities during their fastpitch opening day.

A Clayton collection

embers of the Clayton Heights Secondary student council show the more than 10,000 food items collected along with $1,000 cash during the school’s 11th annual Christmas food drive. The food will be distributed to the needy through the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program. The items were destined for the warehouse at Pacific Community Church, which acts as the nerve centre for the hamper program. On Dec. 17, recipients were invited to come to the church to pick up their hampers.

Devils’ win streak stopped at seven North Delta Junior B hockey team defeated in North Vancouver by Rick Kupchuk FOR THE first time in close to a month, the

North Delta Devils have lost a hockey game. The Devils dropped a 5-4 overtime decision to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack back on Nov. 23 at the Harry Jerome Rec Centre in North Vancouver. Playing in the same rink Monday night, while on a sevengame win streak, the Devils again faced the Wold Pack and fell 6-2. North Delta had a 2-1 lead midway through the Pacific International Junior

Hockey League contest, with Adam Nishi and Manuveer Mahil scoring powerplay goals 28 seconds apart to erase a 1-0 North Vancouver lead after 20 minutes. But just 61 seconds after Mahil tallied the go-ahead goal, the Wolf Pack drew even again. Then, despite getting outshot 17-11 in the final frame, the home side scored four unanswered goals. The loss came two days after the Devils had won their seventh straight. For more than 59 minutes, it seemed as though a six-game win streak would come

to an end. But the Devils rallied from a three-goal deficit to edge the Grandview Steelers 4-3 in overtime at the Sungod Arena. The best team in the Junior B league over the past 10 games, the Devils surrendered a pair of powerplay goals and fell behind 3-0 by the time the game was 22 minutes old. North Delta shut out the Steelers the rest of the way, getting a goal from Stefan Burzan late in the second period, then dominating play in the third period. With less than three minutes to play,

Grandview was clinging to a 3-1 lead when Nishi forced overtime with two quick goals. He pulled the home side to within one with two minutes to go, then tied the game with a shorthanded effort with just eight seconds to play. Burzan netted the winner after four minutes of overtime. After playing .500 hockey through the first 18 games of the schedule, North Delta is now 14-8-4 (won-loss-overtime loss). In third place in the Tom Shaw Conference, the Devils trail the Delta Ice Hawks by eight points.

Hawks settle for a split Major Midget League team wins, loses in Kelowna by Rick Kupchuk THE VALLEY West Hawks won one of two B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML) games in Kelowna last weekend, moving into a tie for fifth place. The Hawks doubled the Okanagan Rockets 4-2 Saturday afternoon, then dropped a 7-4 decision in the rematch Sunday morning. Valley West, comprised of players from the Semiahmoo, Cloverdale, Surrey and Langley minor hockey associations, now has a 14-10-0 (won-losstied) record, tied with the 12-8-4 Greater Vancouver Canadians and four points up on the seventh place North Island Silvertips. The top six teams will make the playoffs. The Hawks were 21 minutes away from a sweep of Okanagan,

twice for Valley West, with Latrell Charleson of Surrey and Langley’s Jacob Taylor adding singles. Surrey’s Ram Brar collected a pair of assists. The Hawks were down 2-0 before Saturday’s game was 10 minutes old, but came back to tie the contest 2-2 after 20 minutes on goals by Langley forwards Danton Heinen and Lange. Brar scored the winning goal 16 minutes into the second period, and Kyle Raymond of Langley added an empty net tally with 69 seconds to play. The Hawks will be in Calgary Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 for the Mac’s Tournament. They are grouped with with St. Albert Raiders, Calgary Royals, Saskatoon Contacts and MML rival Vancouver Chiefs for round robin play.
