Surrey School District wants your feedback

Boundary changes eyed for elementary schools by Sheila Reynolds THE SURREY School District is

considering moving the school boundaries in two neighbourhoods this fall, potentially affecting four elementary schools. The first proposed change is to shift a portion of the community that would currently attend M.B. Sanford to Bear Creek Elementary’s catchment area. The affected area runs from 72 Avenue north to Q Bear Creek around 75 Avenue and Q MB Sanford from King George Q Frost Road Highway east to Q Woodland between Park 138 and 140 Streets. Bear Creek Elementary is at 13780 80 Ave. and has 476 students, while M.B. Sanford, located near 73 Avenue and 143 Street has an enrolment of 533. Neither school uses portable classrooms. The other suggested change affects Frost Road and Woodland Park elementary schools.

TV trials a risk: Prosecutors Concerns raised over proposal to televise Stanley Cup riot proceedings by Jeff Nagel B.C.’S PLAN to televise the trials of Stanley Cup rioters is causing concern among prosecutors, according to the president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association. Samiran Lakshman warned the planned video broadcasts – if approved by judges – could jeopardize the cases against those rioters or others yet to be charged. “Not every witness will want to be broadcast on YouTube and the 6 o’clock news,” Lakshman said. He said the spectre of video trials could open a new avenue for defence lawyers to overturn a conviction, par-

ticularly if a witness who might have bolstered an accused’s defence refuses to testify. “We want to make sure we don’t in any way endanger the prosecution or dissuade people from coming forward.” If courts approve the video broadcast of an accused who objects, “the defence may have another weapon in their arsenal that the right to a fair trial has been violated.” Attorney General Shirley Bond last fall ordered Crown to pursue video broadcasts in the riot cases. B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch had initially opposed the idea. See RIOTS / Page 5

$52,000 fine for cloud of pollution

RCMP headquarters (E-Division) in Green Timbers made up for a portion of Surrey’s $1 billion in permit values last year.

Annacis plant had no permit at time by Jeff Nagel A STEEL galvanizing plant on Annacis Island in Delta has been fined $52,500 for an air pollution incident there two years ago. Silver City Galvanizing Inc. discharged gases and fine particles from its hot dip galvanizing operation on Jan. 7 and 8, 2010 that caused physical discomfort or interfered with visibility. Metro Vancouver air quality managers investigated after workers at a nearby business reported a noxious “cloud” coming from Silver City’s operation. “They said it caused them to experience burning and stinging sensations, irritation to their eyes and a foul taste in the mouth,” said Metro air quality division director Ray Robb. The company, which had been operating without an air emissions permit, admitted it discharged unknown quantities of contaminants, consisting of particles of sodium hydroxide, sulphuric acid and zinc ammonium chloride solutions; Ray Robb solid zinc and zinc compounds; as well as gases of ammonia and hydrochloric acid. Inhaling high concentrations of zinc oxide particles emitted from hot dip galvanizing – where steel is bathed in molten zinc to protect it from corrosion – may cause metal fume fever, a flu-like illness. In this case, Robb said no one got sick. The company pleaded guilty in late December to two counts of discharging air contaminants in violation of Metro bylaws. Silver City Galvanizing spent $294,000 in 2010 and 2011 to upgrade its pollution control systems and obtain a Metro permit.

Shot man dumped in South Surrey Police say latest victim of violence not cooperating with investigators by Tracy Holmes SURREY RCMP serious crimes officers are

Cpl. Drew Grainger

investigating yet another shooting this month, after a 35-year-old man knocked on the door of a rural South Surrey home Wednesday night looking for help. The 35-year-old North Surrey resident was “dropped off ” near the house – in the 3700 block of 184 Street – around 11 p.m. Jan. 4, Cpl. Drew Grainger said Friday. He had been shot in the leg, just below the knee. While the victim has been released from hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, Grainger said he has been of little help to inves-

tigators working to determine what led to the incident and who is responsible. “We’re getting limited co-operation from the victim, and we’re getting conflicting information.” The incident is the latest in a rash of violence that has occurred across Surrey since Christmas Eve: • Late Jan. 3, a 31-year-old man was shot in the back – a non-lethal wound – during an altercation at a Panorama Ridge home. • On Dec. 29, a 55-year-old man was found seriously beaten in a minivan parked in the 9500 block of 139 Street. • Apollo-Lyn Simpson, 28, was fatally gunned

down in the 9500 block of 125 Street Dec. 27. • A 54-year-old woman was shot in the chest at a Whalley apartment Dec. 26. • Grocery store clerk Alok Gupta, a 27-yearold Kwantlen business student, was fatally shot Dec. 25 in the 11700 block of 96 Avenue. • Bradley McPherson, 28, was fatally shot while at a Christmas Eve party in the 13100block of 67A Avenue. But while Grainger agreed the run gives the perception violent crime is on the rise, he said the incidence of gun-related crimes is actually “significantly down.” “There’s a spate of them for sure, but overall our numbers are down,” he said.

The publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feedback is being sought on both

boundary moves. Comments can be provided to school principals, who will forward them to the Surrey Board of Education.

WELFARE CHALLENGE

RAESIDE

An MLA’s earnest bid

gainst a backdrop of stunningly high home assessment values for 2011, Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar found “seven-star” accommodation in Newton last week, as part of his quest to live on a single, employable man’s welfare income for the month. It’s a 12’ x 12’ room in a Newton house he’ll share with six other people. Brar’s portion will cost $375. His room has a TV and a fridge along with a two-seat sofa. There’s a twin bed fitted with a Winnie-thePooh blanket from his kids. The space is reasonably clean, at least, and there’s room for Brar and his large frame to move around. That can’t be said about one of the other rooms he viewed – not much more than a closet, barely big enough to fit a twin bed, but nothing else. The person who will be occupying that stellar room in North Surrey – to the tune of $500 a month – will be coming out of hospital after surgery in a couple of days. With a place to lay his head secured, Brar’s attention turned to another necessity: Food. With his finances already dwindling (after spending money on rent/damage deposit, and a cellphone and bus tickets – needed in order to search for work, a requirement for collecting his social assistance), Brar budgeted about $30 for a week’s worth of groceries. He took home a litre of milk, a package of tofu, a box of cereal, a small jar of peanut butter, noodles, tomatoes, carrots, green onions, apples and a loaf of bread. Here’s guessing a guy as big as Brar could go through those staples in one or two days, but he only has $67 left, and 27 more days remaining in the month-long experiment. Is Brar’s stint on the streets “real?” Technically, no. Even he admits that. Is it worthwhile? Yes. Besides income assistance rates, Brar’s acceptance of the group Raise the Rates’ welfare challenge and the media attention it’s attracting keeps a number of important issues in the spotlight. Among them are the lack of decent rental stock; unscrupulous landlords who offer appalling accommodation to the financially vulnerable (while the government turns a blind eye); and the growing gap between the haves and have-nots in this prosperous and promising region. The public often demands that politicians “walk a mile” in their shoes, suggesting TransLink directors forgo their vehicles for transit or premiers try to live on a regular Joe’s annual salary. Yet many are damning Brar for what appears to be an earnest attempt on his part to better understand the plight of the poor. High school students aren’t criticized for abstaining from eating for 24 hours and calling it a “famine” in a bid to try to understand starvation in Third-World countries. In our instant-gratification culture, going without – even for a short period of time and in the context of a simulated experience – can go a long way towards providing insight. We say good on Brar for walking the walk, despite having the ability to walk away from the hardship at the end of the month. Hopefully, he’ll bring new wisdom, along with the voice of his constituents, to the legislative table and affect positive change. That’s why people voted for him. In fact, it’s his job.

ow is B.C.’s economy doing? This question occupies a great deal of time in our political debate. But since that debate is mostly an exercise in selecting facts and passing blame back and forth, it’s difficult to tell. Former premier Gordon Campbell set out to change that in 2001 with the establishment of the B.C. Progress Board. Independent directors established six “core targets,” environmental, health and social indicators as well as economic measures, and tracked them annually with comparisons to other provinces. This created a 10-year database that doesn’t exist anywhere else. But it hasn’t exactly been flattering, a sign that it has been kept free of political interference. Premier Christy Clark’s recent decision to replace the Progress Board has sparked another round of political blame-storming. The NDP opposition was accustomed to jumping on the annual rankings and trumpeting the ones that cast the B.C. Liberals in a bad light. Predictably, they portrayed the remake of the board as an effort to sweep embarrassing

B.C. reach fifth place in 2006 and 2007, but rank changes on low birth weights and longterm unemployment brought B.C. to seventh in 2008 and ninth in 2009.” Does this mean the NDP government of the 1990s did a bad job, or that the B.C. Liberals did better and then screwed up? It could be spun that way, but there are external factors involved. The B.C. Progress Board didn’t just do rankings. Its policy suggestions were implemented in regulatory reform, energy self-sufficiency, creating community courts and UBC Okanagan, and proceeding with the Site C dam. Martin notes that the successor organization, the Jobs and Investment Board, will carry on the performance monitoring and “hold government’s feet to the fire,” in particular on its ability to attract investment. It’s time to stop arguing about the level of poverty and find new ways to alleviate it.

Maybe the Liberals can be flexible

LETTERS

MLA walks a mile in a welfare man’s shoes, Leader readers sound off WE ARE all finally glad that someone took the challenge of being on social assistance. There is also the issue of families on welfare that struggle every day as well. Someone said we have all the benefits of medical, but dental is more of a concern. The dental that we are provided with only allows two teeth to be fixed in the average of six months – and that’s not including major repairs such as root canals. I can guarantee that no government person or CEO would ever put their families in that position to be living in poverty as some families don’t have a choice like myself. Jagrup Brar, I wish you the best of luck for the rest of the month, especially with the amount you have remaining. One question: Did you have any problems with landlords not accepting welfare as your income? I do all the time because landlords don’t want welfare recipients renting their homes.

YOUR EDITORIAL on bargaining in

the educational sector makes some important points (“Attention teachers: Bargaining can work,” Jan. 3). Now that the government, represented by BCPSEA, has concluded a tentative agreement with CUPE support workers, there exists a real opportunity to make progress in talks with the teachers. It is very significant that the government has broken its so-called “net-zero mandate” by agreeing to pay raises, first with the nurses and now with educational assistants. (BCPSEA doesn’t call it a raise, since the EA’s hourly pay is unchanged, but the agreement increases the number of hours for which they are paid. These folks traditionally work a lot of unpaid overtime). It is also interesting that the government dropped all demands for concessions. One of 2011’s most under-reported stories has been the long list of government demands for concessions from teachers. Most of these take the form of increasing management’s control and removing due process from employment decisions. For example, right now if a teacher applies for a transfer to a vacant position, that placement is decided by qualifications, experience and seniority. Government negotiators are demanding that this fairly transparent process be replaced with a vague reference to “suitability” as determined by management. None of these concessions would do anything for B.C. students. It would be sensible to just let them drop, as happened with the concessions demanded of the CUPE workers. Of course there are other issues to be worked out. As you mention, class size and composition must be agreed on. The growing salary gap between B.C. teachers and the rest of Canada also must surely be addressed. But the agreement with CUPE is certainly an encouraging sign. It says that B.C.’s current government can be flexible. If they intend to make a break with their belligerent past, peace may yet break out.

Rates need to be adjusted WHILE I certainly do agree that

welfare rates need to be substantially adjusted, I fail to see how doing so will benefit the economy one whit, as recent letter writer Alex Sangha asserts. The $610 paid out and $610 spent (wherever) is still only $610 at the end of the trip. It doesn’t create wealth for the economy; it just passes from one hand to others within the service industry. What an increase will do is hopefully give the recipient a greater chance of breaking away from dependence on the system – which can only be a good thing. Jon Christensen, Surrey

Challenge is an insult to those needing welfare

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Surrey-Fleetwood MLA walked the streets in search of shelter last week as part of his month-long welfare challenge to live on $610 in January.

THE WELFARE challenge and publicity surrounding it is so fabricated and such an insult to anyone with any remaining brain matter, I can no longer not comment. First of all, in the real world, before receipt of any funds from welfare (and I am drawing from experience with local welfare offices through friends who have in the past, and at Christmas time, needed emergency funds to keep them from being evicted but they were evicted and left homeless at Christmas), several criteria must be met before any single, adult applicant can receive any funds from welfare. Mr. Brar, instead of wasting time in front of the TV cameras, would need to submit and disclose a documented means test of his employment history, plus disclosure of all bank accounts and/or any other source of income, funds, assets, family assistance, etc. Every aspect of his assets would be exposed. This disclosure would need to be made before any decision was made on his application for welfare.

Investigation for confirmation of the above could take a minimum of three weeks, with no monetary assistance until the investigation is completed, no matter what the circumstance. How will Mr. Brar survive this wait? His one-month adventure on welfare assistance will have expired before any decision on his application is made. In reality, after disclosure in the real world, Mr. Brar would be denied any monetary assistance whatsoever, period. Plus, there would be no luxury of being able to have one day at home once a week, which is another slap in the face of the destitute and homeless who have no such option. This whole political media opportunity is an insult to any person having the need to go to welfare in the first place. Most of these people have no alternative and no wish to endure the demoralizing process involved. I know from experience. One person mentioned earlier who was evicted this Christmas is currently sleeping on my couch. Should the above all be a fabricated, fast-tracked application for welfare with inside information and/or special privileges not afforded the normal applicant, this is all a huge political and media attentiongetting farce. Nothing new or unexpected. P. Erickson

Rampant multiple suites THE HEROIC one-month journey of NDP MLA Jagrup Brar to survive as a welfare recipient has shed light on Surrey’s failure to properly inspect multiple-suite single-family homes. I have for several years now, along with others, tried to get enforcement of the building codes in the illegal construction and renovation of single-family homes. These homes are not safe. They are built or renovated to keep the unsuspecting tenants in a false sense of security. These houses are built and renovated so the electrical, gas, plumbing and fire regulations are not inspected or up to code for multiple suites. Most of these one-bedroom suites are even without windows. The building code is a safety document, plain and simple. The City of Surrey is not only contributing to illegal construction by not enforcing safety codes, it is also complicit in the rampant tax evasion by these homeowners with their undeclared income and overuse of public services. If we were talking about one suite in a house, we would not be talking about it. It is the two to five suites which are rampant. Enough is enough. Thank-you Jagrup Brar for reminding us of what is still going on. Paul Fitzgerald, Surrey

housing “seven-star” compared to some of the places in his price range while on welfare. Jagrup Brar, MLA for SurreyFleetwood, is living for a month on a welfare rate of $610 after taking up the “Welfare Challenge” put forward by a group called Raise the Rates. Brar invited the press into his Newton accommodation on Thursday. The 12’ x 12’ room in a house will cost $375 a month, he says, adding it’s a far cry above anything he’s seen at that rate in the past few days. Brar’s room has a TV and a fridge along with a two-seat sofa. He has a twin bed fitted with a Winnie the Pooh blanket from his kids. Finding an appropriate place to live wasn’t easy, he says. One of the first places he looked at was in Whalley, which had a good room available, however they wanted $500 a month. When they heard of Brar’s monetary constraints, they showed him another room. It was a closet, Brar says, adding it was a three-by-seven-foot room which fit a twin bed and nothing more. The person who will be occupying that North Surrey room will be coming out of surgery in a couple of days. During his search for accom-

Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar has rented a room for $375 in a Newton house he’s sharing with six other people. modation, Brar found landlords that were making $20,000 a month “on the backs of the poor,” and called the practice “unacceptable and immoral.” Brar is sharing the home in the 8000 block of 136A Street with six other people, all who pay an average of $375 a month. Internet, cable and utilities are included. Now that he has something rented, Brar’s next big challenge will be making sure he has enough to eat. He went out Wednesday evening expecting to spend $30 for enough food for the remainder of the week. He came back with a litre of milk, tofu, green onions, a box of

cereal, a small jar of peanut butter, noodles, tomatoes, carrots, apples and bread. Total cost: $33. He now has $67 left, and 27 more days left in the month-long experiment. Even if that amount of food lasts four days, he will be out of money in a week-and-a-half. He fully knows the limitations of his experiment, realizing daily he has a family to return to in February. That said, Brar feels the experiment has already altered his thinking. “My life has changed knowing what life is like on 610.” kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Child rapist sentenced FACESSAMENIDA to 10 years in prison SURREY’S MOST AFFORDABLE SENIORS’ COMMUNITY

off

But Surrey man will only serve another 5-1/2 years by Sheila Reynolds A SURREY man who sexually assaulted a 12-yearold Coquitlam girl two years ago has been sentenced to 10 years in jail. But because he’s been granted double credit for time already spent in custody, Antonio Eduardo Daponte will only be required to serve another five years and seven months behind bars. Daponte, 46, was charged with aggravated sexual assault after breaking into the child’s bedroom in May 2009. During the trial in New Westminster Supreme

Court, Crown lawyers said he threatened to gouge the girl’s eyes out if she didn’t cooperate and that the attack didn’t end until the victim screamed and fought back. Daponte, who was out on bail on various theft and break and enter offences, then fled out a window. He was sentenced last Tuesday (Jan. 3). The sexual assault put the community on edge as police initially didn’t know whether the attack was random. After his arrest, it was determined Daponte knew the girl’s family. – with ﬁles from CBC News

Woman bristles at lawsuit cost

“At 101 years of age, I realize how important it is to keep both my mind and body active. With all the activities going on at Amenida, my days are always interesting, and meals are a real treat. It was great to celebrate my birthday last week with all my friends here at Amenida.” – Betty Warden “What the world needs is fewer politicians and more grandmothers.”

Drops action against Colgate-Palmolive over toothbrush by Kevin Diakiw BRISTLING AT the cost of trial, a Surrey woman has dropped her toothbrush lawsuit against Colgate-Palmolive Canada Inc. Saliha Alnoor launched a lawsuit against the company after a toothbrush allegedly snapped in her mouth, causing extensive damage, Alnoor said in a statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court on May 11, 2007. “My gums started bleeding and I experienced excruciating pain.”

She said she contacted the Colgate-Palmolive head office in Canada and explained the incident in detail “in order to settle the matter without taking legal action.” A staffer with the company asked for more information, and after Alnoor sent it, she didn’t hear from the company again. On Wednesday, she appeared in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver and decided to drop the case. “Today at the trial I became aware of substantial additional costs I would incur if I continued

with my lawsuit,” said a handwritten note Alnoor gave to reporters. “Another $30,000. I have already spent $21,000 on this case. So for me to proceed with my action would be risky...” In its statement of defence, Colgate-Palmolive denied any wrongdoing and indicated if Alnoor was injured it was her own fault. None of the claims were proven in court. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

POLICE BRIEFS

Newton explosive device linked to Justice Institute attacks by Kevin Diakiw A PACKAGE that

exploded on a Surrey doorstep over the weekend is related to a number of attacks on members of the Justice Institute of B.C., The Leader has learned. In 2011, there were a total of 13 shootings and arsons targeting people with ties to the Justice

Institute, which trains police, paramedics and emergency first responders. At 2:30 a.m. Saturday, a package exploded on the doorstep of a home in the 8300 block of 151 Street. It didn’t cause any injuries and caused very little damage to the residence. Last month, police announced a former

ICBC employee was under investigation for accessing the personal records of 13 people with ties to the Justice Institute who were victims of the attacks earlier in the year. The attacks occurred throughout Metro Vancouver. Police have not ruled out organized crime, disgruntled employees or someone who simply

had a negative interaction with the institute.

Man arrested in stabbing A 22-YEAR-OLD man

has been arrested and faces charges related to a stabbing in Newton on the weekend. At 2:35 a.m. Saturday, two men were walking in the 7400 block of

Real estate gains in 2011 Houses outperformed townhomes, condos by Jeff Nagel HOUSING PRICES slumped in the second half of 2011, but real estate markets in the Lower Mainland ended up for the year overall. The gain was bigger in the western half of the region, with the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reporting detached houses typically rose 11.2 per cent for the year to $887,000. The hottest gain was a 34-percent jump in Port Moody, where the Evergreen Line will pass through after funding for the SkyTrain extension was secured in recent months. Houses on the west side of Vancouver also gained 20 per cent, while the east side, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby and South Delta all saw benchmark houses gain 13-16 per cent. Attached homes and condos gained more modestly, up roughly

four per cent on average. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which covers Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, reported benchmark houses gained 3.3 per cent in 2011 to $523,000. Townhouses and condos dipped, however, declining 2.1 per cent (to $315,000) and 1.2 per cent (to $237,000) respectively. “One trend from 2011 that is clear was the preference for singlefamily homes,” FVREB president Sukh Sidhu said. “For the most part in our region, both sales and prices of townhomes and condos either stayed on par with 2010 or decreased.” The hottest area was White Rock and South Surrey, where prices of benchmark detached houses climbed 10.8 per cent to $818,000. The most expensive cities in which to buy across the Lower Mainland remained the west side of Vancouver with benchmark

detached houses nearing the $2-million level, West Vancouver houses at nearly $1.7 million and Richmond at $1.07 million. Benchmark houses can still be found for under $600,000 in areas like Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, North Delta, Surrey, Port Coquitlam and Langley in Metro Vancouver. In the Fraser Valley, equivalent prices are $424,000 in Abbotsford and $344,000 in Mission. The Greater Vancouver statistics show the average residential property bought five years ago has gained almost 30 per cent since then. Detached houses performed slightly better (up 38 per cent) than condos or townhouses (both up just over 20 per cent) over the five years. Median prices of detached houses in the Fraser Valley are up 26 per cent over five years. jnagel@surreyleader.com

138 Street, when they approached a group of young men. It’s believed the pair asked the larger group for a cigarette, or a light, when there was some

misunderstanding in the larger group about what occurred. The 22-year-old male allegedly produced a knife and stabbed one of the men in the abdomen.

He is in hospital and is expected to recover. Police have recommended charges of attempted murder against the accused. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who contemplated challenging Moore for the chair, emerges with perhaps the most influence of any other regional politician on the board. Besides chairing the Regional Planning and Agriculture committee (he was regional planning chair), Corrigan is now also vicechair of the Mayors’ committee (backing up Moore) and is vicechair of the Zero Waste committee, which is chaired by Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. For the full list of appointees see http://bit.ly/xH2aGm. Moore said he’s also looking for ways to better engage citizens and inform them about what Metro does.

The road to good

FINANCIAL HEALTH The secret to financial success Are you struggling to make ends meet every month? Do you wonder why money slips through your fingers? The secret to turning these frightening realities around is to take some time out and make a personal budget. You’ll be able to set yourself some objectives and know how much money you’ll need to reach them. Identify your revenue and your expenses with the help of various tools, whether it’s a computerized spread sheet or just a piece of paper divided into two columns. You could also consult the website of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada and use the budget calculator provided. Your financial institution could also help you to establish your budget. First of all, in one column enter your salary and other sources of revenue. After this, list your absolute monthly expenses in the other column; these would include rent or mortgage payments, telephone, Internet, electricity, cable, insurance, bus

pass, daycare, and so on. Once this initial step is completed, you’ll be in a position to know exactly how much money you have left to spend on groceries, clothes, or leisure activities.

399 drivers face penalties by Tom Fletcher

LEGAL ISSUES with B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S LARGEST AGRICULTURE EVENT OF THE YEAR!

new drinking and driving law didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow down police road checks and suspensions during the holiday season. From Nov. 1 to Jan. 2, RCMP in the Lower Mainland imposed penalties on 399 drivers,

compared to 310 in the same period of 2010. Those totals include impaired driving charges, 90-day vehicle impoundments and administrative licence suspensions. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jon Sigurdson ruled Nov. 30 that parts of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new roadside penalty system infringed

on driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; constitutional right to defend themselves. But just before Christmas he suspended his ruling for six months, allowing police to resume applying their strictest roadside penalties, including 90-day licence suspensions and impounding vehicles for 30 days.

Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond has vowed to move quickly when the legislature resumes sitting in February, to amend the legislation passed last year that gave police in B.C. the toughest roadside impaired penalties in Canada. RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont said some people may have been confused by the court ruling, believing that they could refuse to blow in a breathalyzer without facing a criminal code charge. The judge upheld the use of the immediate three-day roadside prohibitions for drivers who blow in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;warnâ&#x20AC;? range between 0.05 and 0.08, and found 90-day suspensions for refusing to give a breath sample area also permissible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not backing off,â&#x20AC;? Gaumont said. Bond said the first year of the new penalties resulted in a 40-per-cent decrease in alcohol-related deaths on B.C. roads. tďŹ&#x201A;etcher@surreyleader.com

’Cats, Warriors favoured RCMP Classic underway this week at Surrey schools

by Rick Kupchuk TWO TEAMS ranked among the top 10 high school basketball teams in B.C. are expected to clash in Saturday’s championship game of the 21st annual Surrey RCMP Classic. The Tamanawis Wildcats upset a pair of highly ranked teams within a week of resuming play following the Christmas break, vaulting up to No. 3 in the provincial rankings following a 75-73 win over the then-No. 2 Vancouver College Fighting Irish,

and a 68-52 victory over the then-No. 6 Kitsilano Blue Demons. Ravjot Dhaliwal paced Tamanaw is past the fighting Irish, scoring 22 points and adding 13 rebounds, while Manny Dulay contributed with eight rebounds and six assists. The Wildcats are four places higher than the seventh-ranked White Rock Christian Academy Warriors, a school, that has dominated the RCMP Classic by winning 10 of the past 13 tournments.

Holy Cross wins second straight all-Surrey high school tournament

Crusaders repeat at Fire Fighters by Rick Kupchuk AFTER FIVE seasons of domination by the Elgin Park Orcas, the Holy Cross Crusaders are on the verge of a string of championships at the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Goodwill Classic. The Crusaders topped the Fleetwood Park Dragons 68-56 in Saturday night’s championship game of the all-Surrey senior girls high school basketball tournament at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, the second consecutive championship by Holy Cross. And making a run at the five straight Fire Fighters titles won by Elgin Park from 2006-10 is a possibility when considering the youth of the Steve Crusaders squad. Beauchamp “Last year was no surprise, but this year was a big surprise to a lot of people,” said Holy Cross head coach Steve Beauchamp, after his team outscored three opponents 231-101. “When you look our starting lineup with five grade 10s, you’re usually not considered a favourite.” With just three Grade 12s on a roster of 13, the Crusaders dominated two opponents to advance to Saturday’s final, where Holy Cross took a 40-34 lead by half time and went on a 9-0 run midway through the second half for a 56-41 advantage. A pair of Grade 10s did most of the damage. Tournament

“When you look at our starting lineup with ﬁve Grade 10s, you’re usually not considered a favourite.”

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Fleetwood Park’s Simran Bir drives the ball through two Holy Cross Crusaders opponents during the championship game of the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Goodwill Classic at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary on Saturday night. The Crusaders won a second consecutive Fire Fighters’ championship with a 68-56 win. Bir was named the tournament’s Most Inspirational Player. MVP (Most Valuable Player) Michelle Bos scored 26 points, including four treys in the second half, while Rachel Beauchamp added another 20. “I know Fleetwood has some pretty good players who have done some provincial team

stuff, so you knew it was going to be a competitive game,” said coach Beauchamp. “It was a nice outcome for us tonight. They showed a lot of composure and I was impressed with that.” Simran Bir led the Dragons with 21 points, and would later

be named the Most Inspirational Player of the tournament in addition to winning the threepoint shooting competition. Robeen Jaj chipped in with 12 points. Only six teams were in the Axe division of the tournament,

the more competitive of the two groups competing. The Princess Margaret Lions won the 14-team Ladder division championship, defeating the Frank Hurt Hornets 49-43 in Saturday’s final. Harjot Ladher of the Lions led all scorers with 18 points, with Lindsay Ogilvie leading Frank Hurt with 16. Ladher was later named the tournament MVP for the Ladder division. Taylor Gaines of the North Surrey Spartans was the winner of the tournament’s Best Defensive Player award. ■ Seven players received scholarships for post-secondary education. Receiving $750 each were Bethany Collins and Shannon Ferrier of the North Surrey Spartans, Michelle Zacharuk of Holy Cross, Harlene Randhawa of the Sullivan Heights Stars, Yiga Phuntsok of the Earl Marriott Mariners, Gagan Shokur of the Tamanawis Wildcats and Hillary Janssens of the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers. ■ Fifteen players were named to the 2012 Firefighters Goodwill Classic Dream Team for demonstrating skill, team work and sportsmanship throughout the five-day tournament. Dream Team members are Ashley McTaggart of Sullivan Heights, Elijah La Cap of the Surrey Christian Falcons, Sukhleen Gill of the L.A. Matheson Mustangs, Alexis Sebok of the Johnston Heights Eagles, Shenjy Nand of the Guildford Park Sabres, Rosanna Castro of North Surrey, Chantal Colby of Earl Marriott, Janssens of Lord Tweedsmuir, Ogilvie of Fraser Heights, Meleena Dhak of Princess Margaret, Melissa Buettcher of the Elgin Park Orcas, Alli Buck and Beauchamp of Holy Cross, and Jaj and Shilpa Khanna of Fleetwood Park. sports@surreyleader.com

Win streak ends FREE$50 by Nick Greenizan THE SURREY Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

win streak was finally snapped at six games Friday night, after the Birds dropped a 3-1 decision to the visiting Powell River Kings at South Surrey Arena. The loss was the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only game on an otherwise light weekend schedule; they did play Wednesday, earning a 3-2 overtime win over Nanaimo. The loss to Powell River Friday bumped the Eagles down into a third place tie with the Coquitlam Express in the BC Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coastal Conference, two points back of the Kings. Surrey, however, has played four fewer games than Powell River and two less than Coquitlam. The game was a very even affair, with both teams registering 31 shots on net and scoring one power-play goal apiece.

Powell River opened the scoring 3:23 into the game when Steven Schmidt beat Eagles goalie Andrew Hunt for his seventh goal of the season, but the home team knotted the game at 1-1 less than two minutes later, when defenceman Steve Koshey scored on the power play. Evan Richardson game the Kings the lead 15 seconds into the second period, and Cohen Adair notched an insurance marker for Powell River midway through the final period. Kosheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was his second in as many games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he now has nine on the year, tops among Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blueliners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as he played the role of hero against the Clippers, scoring the OT winner 1:16 into the extra period Wednesday in South Surrey. Hunt was the other standout performer Wednesday, stopping 43

of 45 Nanaimo shots, en route to being named the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first star. Robert Lindores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who opened the scoring just 1:51 into the first period â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Alex Hagen also scored for the Eagles, while Dan Correale, who potted a shorthanded marker, and Josh Bryan replied for the Clippers, who sit just three games over .500, in fifth place in the conference. After just two games last week, the Eagles embark on a much tougher schedule this week, with four contests on the docket. Wednesday, they host the Clippers again, before heading out on the road for a threegames-in-three-days trek to Powell River and Vancouver Island. Surrey plays the Kings Friday, the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday night, before finishing off the week with a 3 p.m. tilt against the first-place Cowichan Valley Capitals Sunday.

Surrey Eagles fall to Powell River

Gift Certificate to The Keg Restaurant

by Rick Kupchuk HOPING TO move to within four points of the runner-up team in the Tom Shaw Conference, the North Delta Devils are now eight points back of the Delta Ice Hawks. Delta defeated the Devils 3-1 Saturday night at the Sungod Arena, the fourth win by the Ice Hawks in as many games against North Delta. The Ice Hawks led for much of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, and enjoyed a 40-27 shots on goal advantage. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the Ice Hawks scored an empty net goal with 74 seconds to play was the game out of reach for North Delta. Aaron Merrick scored a shorthanded goal late in the first period to give the Ice Hawks a 1-0 lead, and

Kody Botterill made it 2-0 early in the second. Devils goalie Harry Fredeman, who stopped 37 of 39 shots to earn the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second star honours, was unbeatable over the final 27 minutes, but the home side managed only a goal from Tanner Lenting with less than three minutes to play. Now at 17-9-4 (won-lost-overtime loss) on the season with just 14 games to play, the Devils are eight points behind the Ice Hawks, and 11 ahead of the fourth place North Vancouver Wolf Pack. The Devils face the Tom Shaw Conference leaders, the 26-5-0 Richmond Sockeyes, Thursday night in Richmond before hosting the Abbotsford Pilots next Saturday at 6:45 p.m.
