Just as the Surrey School District was readying to send out layoff notices to immigration workers at its Welcome Centre, the federal government extended the contract for the Newton facility.

The Welcome Centre processes

newcomers arriving in Surrey and helps assess the needs of new immi-grants, including refugees.

Never, officials say, has the service been needed more than now as the federal government is bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees to the country as part of a Liberal election promise.

It’s anticipated 800 to 1,000 will arrive in Surrey.

Fury Road might be a better name for Cliveden Avenue on Annacis Island.Workers on the island say they can no longer cope with growing road rage incidents

there and crazy congestion.It’s all because of traffic cheaters who use the island to cut around the southbound

line-up to cross the Alex Fraser Bridge.Every afternoon rush they stream down the Annacis off-ramp from the Highway

91 Connector onto Cliveden, where they use business parking lots to make a quick U-turn and head back up onto the bridge.

The B.C. government is investing an extra $3 million to expand a program that tailors cancer treatment to the genetic make-up of individual patients.

The B.C. Cancer Agency is ramping up its Personalized On-co-Genomics (POG) project after seeing encouraging results, in-cluding reversal of some cancers thought to be all but untreatable. Researchers cautioned that the technique isn’t a cure for cancer, but it has been effective in identifying drugs that can reduce a life-threatening condition to a manageable chronic illness.

Dr. Janessa Laskin, the cancer specialist in charge of the POG program, said three-quarters of the oncologists in B.C. are now participating in the program, selecting and referring patients from all over the province. The technique is “the future of oncolo-gy,” and the goal is to keep expanding it until every cancer patient can be assessed, Laskin said.

Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake an-nounced the additional funds at the B.C. Cancer Agency in

Vancouver last week. Clark said the intent is to increase funding further in the coming years for a program that is attracting inter-national interest and financial support.

The agency highlighted patients helped by the technique. A 41-year-old non-smoker, Jennifer Strack described her shock at being diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer 18 months ago. Strack underwent five rounds of conventional chemotherapy with little effect, as tumours grew in her lungs and spread to her liver.

The POG program identified one drug that was not effective, but Strack began taking another one that halted the growth and reduced the tumours. Laskin said the genetic testing identifies drugs that would otherwise never be considered.

Zuri Scrivens was treated at age 33 for breast cancer, and when it reappeared two years later she was enrolled in the POG pro-gram. Her cancer went into remission after a diabetes drug was used in combination with a breast cancer drug.

Since clinical trials began in 2012, more than 350 patients with 50 different types of cancer have had their genetic material studied in the program. With private donations through the B.C. Cancer Foundation, the new gov-ernment funds and international grant support, the target for POG is to enrol 2,000 patients in the next five years.

For more information on the program, visit its website at www.bccancerfoundation.com/POG

Th e Ministry of Education hasn’t provided funding for two much-needed elementary schools in the Clayton area of Surrey, but the school district wants to be ready to break ground when they do.

Two architects have been appointed to design a pair of new elementary schools: Clayton Village NE and Clayton Village NW, both in the rapidly growing Cloverdale neighbourhood.

However, neither has been funded by the provin-cial government as of yet and construction can’t begin until that happens. Th e school district’s theory is that when the money does come, no further time will be wasted on making plans, such as securing an architect, and construction can begin immediately.

It’s not the fi rst time the district has taken such steps. For example, architects were appointed in 2013 for a new Grandview Heights area high school and that project is still awaiting provincial support.

Six fi rms were interviewed for the two elemen-tary school projects. Th inkSpace Architecture was appointed for Clayton Village NE and Craven Huston Powers was chosen for Clayton Village NW.

Surrey’s secretary-treasurer retiring

Wayne Noye, the Surrey School District’s secretary-treasurer, plans to retire at the end of the school year.

Noye, a Certifi ed Management Accountant, was promoted to the position in 2005, moving up from assistant secretary-treasurer – a position for which he was hired in 1997.

The brief foray onto Annacis saves those drivers time by bypassing much of the bridge wait, but island workers and business managers say their com-mutes have become intolerable as the short-cutters flood Cliveden and box them in.

“Alex Fraser commuters who shortcut onto Annacis Island from the Connector are aggressive and threatening when they cross over the double yellow line to cut into the business parking lots and then push their way into the traffic getting off the island,” Nadia Mudge wrote on change.org, where a petition demands authorities fix the traffic nightmare. “Please do something to stop this. It’s a dangerous situation,” she said, adding there have been accidents and near-accidents.

“This happens every night and leads to massive congestion and road rage,” Jeff Larsen said.

Susan Alsop, another Annacis worker, said it takes her more than an hour just to get off the island.

“Since the Port Mann was tolled the congestion on this route has become insufferable,” she wrote. “And now hearing the plans for the Massey Tunnel

replacement it will only get worse.”Petitioners suggest median barriers be installed

along Cliveden to block left turns and make the route less advantageous.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she’s called a meet-ing of her senior staff to explore options like that.

She said another possibility is to prohibit left turns on the problem stretch of Clive-den, coupled with police enforcement of the ban.

“You’ve got people on Annacis who just want to get home and you’ve got others that are just short cutting the circuit and not waiting their turn and really don’t have a lot of business there but to short cut.”

Jackson said she’s not yet sure if Delta can act alone or if the transportation ministry needs to be involved.

She agreed the problem appears to have worsened.

“It doesn’t help that some increase in traffic is due to avoidance of tolls,” Jackson said.

Meanwhile, traffic is about to get much worse across the river in downtown New Westminster.

That city will close Front Street for five months starting Feb. 1 to redevelop the Front Street Parkade, redirecting trucks from that route onto other streets.

Boyden Global Executive Search has been retained by the school district to conduct a national can-didate search to fi ll the position.

Mileage rate steady

Elected offi cials and employees in the Surrey School District will continue to receive 54 cents per kilometre for car mileage reimbursement. Trustees voted Th ursday night to keep the rate the same as last year’s.

Th e fi gure is based on a review done each December by the feder-

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

Building a playground, brick by brick

Richardson Elementary in North Delta is selling legacy bricks to raise money for an addition to the school’s aging playground.

Th e bricks – which can be

customized with a family, child or company name, or a sentimental statements – are available with a donation to the project.

A donation of $100 gets a 4”x8” brick with inscription, while a $300 donation gets a 8”x8” brick. Corporate donations of $500 or more will get an inscription on 8”x8” brick, plus acknowledge-ment in the North Delta school’s newsletter, Parent Advisory Council website (including link to company website) and a banner displayed at school events.

Donations can be dropped off at the school (11339 83 Ave.). For further information, email [email protected]

and service priorities as the board considers its 2016/2017 operating budget.

Each year, the board works to sustain priority programs and services to support

students across the district. As was true in past budget planning cycles, district

needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government

grants. This means there are diffi cult choices to be made in order to achieve the

balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best

way.

In coming weeks, the board will meet with employee groups and community

stakeholders, including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details

In the early days of this new year, read-ers have advised me to do several things. I’ll go with one that seems relatively painless, embracing the “sunny ways” of our new federal government and seeking optimism in these fragile times.

For starters, we have a building boom going on in the southwest. Here in Victoria, cranes dot the skyline as new residential-commercial projects emerge from bedrock, and hard hats are mostly on construction workers, scratched and backwards, rather than shiny and forward on politicians.

Shipyards are busy, with Royal Cana-dian Navy work and cruise ship refits to reduce their emissions, plus work on ferries, tugboats and barges.

Most of the activity is private in-vestment, much of it in a hot housing market. Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building per-mits in history, a value of $1.46 billion nearly matching the pre-recession peak of 2007.

Thousands of provincial employees get a small raise in February, based on

stronger than forecast economic growth in 2014. It works out to $300 a year for a medical technologist and $346 for a teacher.

Health care costs are rising less dramatically. That should ease the crisis atmosphere at provincial and federal health ministers’ negotiations over the funding formula, taking place this week in Vancouver.

Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week that the province is increasing funding for a promising program in cancer research, using genetic analysis to improve targeting for drugs to treat the hundreds of different cancers diagnosed in B.C. patients each year.

The B.C. Cancer Agency’s new direc-tor, Dr. Malcolm Moore, oncologist Dr. Janessa Laskin and Dr. Marco Marra, director of the agency’s Genome Science Centre, described a world-leading centre of research that is reaching out to specialists and their patients across the province and attracting international funding and talent for ground-breaking research.

Outside the urban regions, where retail sales and real estate mainly drive the economy, sunny ways are harder to find. The mining and natural gas sectors are in the grip of a slump in commod-ity prices, with more temporary mine closures expected.

The forest industry is being helped by the low Canadian dollar and a steady recovery in the U.S. economy, and tour-ism is expected to have another strong year as Americans take advantage of a discount on visits to B.C.

Central 1 Credit Union broke down the regional employment numbers for B.C. in 2015, and found job growth in every region except the Cariboo. Provincewide employment grew 1.2 per cent last year, ahead of the national rate. That may not sound like much, but compared to Alberta’s oil-dependent economy, it’s pretty good.

Construction of a new dam on the Peace River is expected to ramp up this year, bringing workers home from

Alberta, and the federal government is planning to fast-track its promised infrastructure spending to create work across the country.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Ben-nett was in Toronto last week to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange with B.C. mining industry representatives.

Not much sun on mining stocks these days, but Bennett’s sales pitch to an investor luncheon included reference to two more mines under construction in northwest B.C., the province’s Pacific Rim trade advantage, and revenue shar-ing with First Nations that is attracting attention of other provinces.

The Conference Board of Canada has forecast that B.C.’s economy will “lead the country by a wide margin over the near term,” with unemployment declin-ing in 2016.

We’re at the mercy of global forces, but things could be a whole lot worse.

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Few things cut so deeply into a community as the loss of young life.

When two 18-year-olds died Jan. 10 after their truck went off an icy road and plunged into the Fraser River, it was an incident that resonated in Surrey – just as it did all across the Lower Mainland.

Th e two high school grads were returning from birthday celebrations for one of them when the crash took place in Chilliwack.

Only last year, three young men were killed on Highway 1 west of Hope when their vehicle also left the road.

No one can doubt that both crashes could just as easily have happened here.

Th e truth is, we have had more than our share of inci-dents in the past where the potential of a young life was stolen by a traffi c accident.

Too many families in our

community remain scarred – emotionally, if not physically – by similar tragedies.

Last year, a woman had a lucky escape in Surrey when a truck driven by a 17-year-old male smashed into a bus stop where she was waiting.

A similar incident, in which a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old girl also plowed into a bus stop, ended the life of 22-year-old Evan Archibald.

In 2014, Clayton Heights Secondary students Cody Kehler and Chantal Ma-cLean, both 17, were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 10 in Delta. Th ey were on their way to a Th anksgiving Day dinner.

As painful as these stories are, they need to be shared, to remind anyone who will listen of the sometimes deadly power that a motor

vehicle possesses.Driving is an immense

responsibility that even sea-soned drivers take for grant-ed. Th e vehicles are com-fortable; the ride is smooth. However, the physics remain immutable.

According to B.C. Automo-bile Association statistics, roughly 54 young people will die each year in motor-vehi-cle crashes. Th ousands more sustain injuries that can aff ect them for the rest of their lives.

Nothing will bring back the lives lost on icy roads, at bus stops or along the highway. But the tragedies off er an opportunity to have a conversation – with ourselves and the people we love – about the risks that exist every time we turn on the ignition.

From an early age I made sure to teach my son about the value of good manners, be it “please and thank you” to giving up a seat on the bus. I loved to watch his face when he would offer his seat to a lady on the bus and the grati-tude always made him feel good for doing it. He was about six years old the first time. My son is going to be 35 this year and he still has good manners.

On Jan. 2, I went to Surrey Memorial Hospital with pneumo-nia. The waiting room was unusually full with standing room only, but I managed to get a seat. The only problem I found, other than the long wait, was losing my seat every time I had to

go for an X-ray or nurse’s assessment.

After my nurse’s assessment, I came back into the waiting room and looked for a seat and could not find one, so I leaned up against the glass by the where the receptionist was. I was dizzy and feeling very unwell and definitely needed to sit down, but the only person who gave me a seat was a lady who was a senior, and I thanked her profusely for the seat.

Shortly after sitting down I became angry, shocked, flabbergasted and annoyed at the high number of men that completely ignored the fact that I truly needed to sit down. The waiting room was made up of at least 50 per cent men and the kicker was that most of them were family members of someone ill. These were men who just accompanied a person to the emergency ward,

and while they waited, they talked on their cells or played video games, which they could have done standing up with their able bodies.

I would just like to say that it is wonderful that you care enough to be with your family member when they are ill, but please be aware that those seats are for people who are sick and waiting to be seen.

In closing I would just like to say that it is “good manners” to give your seat to a lady, especially when she is a sick lady.

Tip on hospital etiquette

With technology comes change of be-haviour. New medical technology allows a major operation to be performed in under

three hours and the patient comes through alert and focused.

But technology also comes with a downside – cellular phones and lack of proper etiquette in hospitals. Almost every-one owns or operates a cellular phone and what is missing is manners when using this device.

My spouse Edward was recently admitted to Eagle Ridge Hospital for a cervical discectomy. This is major surgery, with the neurologist opening the throat to remove a full disk from the neck and replacing it with a surgical device. When my husband ar-rived on the ward for re-covery, he was extremely fatigued by the experi-ence. We had requested a private room, but due to overcrowding, ended up in a semi-private with a young gal. She was a chatty patient who had come in the day before and was ready for dis-charge, but had no ride to get her home.

We endured hours of loud telephone conver-sations and texting until a hospitalist came in and sent her packing. She was quickly replaced by an older Italian woman who spent hours on her cellular phone talking to anyone who would listen to her sorrows and complaints.

Most people who end up in the hospital are there because they need to be – not because they want to be – and they need quiet and recov-ery time. Nowadays, nobody lowers their voice or respects another person’s privacy or ac-knowledges the fact the person may be in pain and suffering. Common courtesy seems to have

gone out the window.Here’s a tip: If you

have a cellular phone and you need to make a call, do so without inter-rupting and disturbing everyone around you. You may feel the need to

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

A few manners can go a long way. Unfortunate-ly, manners seems to be a forgotten trait.

▶ UNCLEAR IF FUNDING BOOST IS PART OF CONTRACTfrom page 1

Services at the Welcome Centre – which has 40 employees at the 7525 King George Blvd. location – went out to tender last year and the Surrey School District put in a bid.

But last week it was readying termina-tion notices for the employees as of Jan. 30 unless it was given an assurance federal funding would be coming. Th e contract ends on May 1.

Due to conditions of the employment con-tract, the district has to give 90 days notice to Welcome Centre staff , meaning letters of termination would have gone out at the end of the month.

Surrey Board of Education Chair Shawn Wilson told Th e Leader last week that without any word of funding, “the noose is tightening.”

On Monday morning, 12 days before termination notices were to be sent out, the federal government notifi ed the district the Welcome Centre had won the contract for 2016.

What is unclear at this point is whether there will be any extra funding to hire new employees to handle the small tsunami of Syrians expected to arrive.

“Processing the new (Syrian) refugee children will be a much greater workload,” Wilson said.

Prior to Council setting the 2016 tax rates, we invite your input on the 2016 Financial Plan – share your views on the proposed budget, including funding priorities, municipal services and upcoming projects.

View the 2016 Financial Plan on our website at Delta.ca The proposed 2016 budget strategy includes a property tax increase of 3.5%, which will go towards:

• 1% to maintain city government services • 0.5% for additional police members • 0.5% for a life cycle replacement reserve for Delta’s five synthetic turf fields • 1.5% for funding an additional Emergency Services Fire Hall at Boundary Bay

Airport

Combining property taxes and utilities, a house with an average assessment increase

will only pay a total of 3% more than 2015. With our commitment to no new borrowing and pay as you go project funding, all tax dollars collected will be going to

services for our community. We continue to stay on track for a debt-free Delta.

A message from the Surrey Teachers’ Association

Dear parents,

We work hard to give your children the best

education possible. We celebrate with them when

they master a new concept and help them think

creatively when tackling a tricky problem.

But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away

from those wonderful moments of learning.

The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless

stress for students, are expensive, and the much-

delayed results do not actively support your child’s

progress.

The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts

pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of

to students’ interests and needs.

That’s why teachers in Surrey recommend you send

a letter to your school principal requesting that your

child be exempted from the FSA.

Exempt your child from the FSA

Just three Syrian refugee students have so far registered in Surrey schools.

That number, however, is ex-pected to jump in the coming weeks.

In an update to Surrey school trustees on Thursday (Jan. 14), school Supt. Jordan Tinney said as of last week, 411 government-assisted refugees had arrived in B.C., while 78 are expected short-ly. An additional 2,000 or so

are anticipated to arrive by the end of February, followed by another smaller group in March and April.

“Currently in temporary housing, these new refugees will be moving to permanent locations throughout the Met-ro region,” Tinney said, adding Surrey, Vancouver, Coquitlam and Burnaby school districts will likely receive the vast majority of the refugees.

While it was initially esti-mated more than 500 students might come to Surrey schools, the district is now anticipating between 300 and 350 school-aged children, whose needs will be assessed at the Wel-come Centre before they are sent to their neighbourhood schools.

The Welcome Centre helps newcomers with settlement issues, such as education.

However, there is some concern about the February deadline to submit enrolment information to the province, which determines resources allocated to school districts to support students. If refugees arrive outside that timeline, the district wants to ensure the resources will still be made available by the B.C. Ministry of Education.

Tinney said early analysis of the already landed refugees indicate 60 per cent are under age 18.

In the neighbouring Delta School District, six Syrian ref-ugees have registered so far, and that’s all that’s expected.

The B.C. government’s 14-year legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) over staffing levels will go one last round at the Supreme Court of Canada.

The top court announced Thursday (Jan. 14) it will hear the union’s appeal of last year’s decision by the

B.C. Court of Appeal that the province didn’t violate bargaining rights with its 2002 legislation setting class size and special needs support.

Education Minister Mike Bernier said the long-running dispute won’t disrupt efforts to contin-ue cooperation with teachers, and the latest five-year negotiated settlement shows “government’s relation-ship with the BCTF has never been better.”

The agreement came in 2014, after a long, bitter strike that saw the government send out $40-a-day child care payments to 230,000 families for 13 school days lost due to strike action in the fall.

BCTF President Jim Iker said the latest appeal of-fers a chance to restore the 2002 class size limits and specialty teacher ratios, but the union won’t wait for another court proceeding to press its demands.

“A month from now, the B.C. Liberal government will deliver its 2016 budget,” Iker said. “Enrolment is starting to increase after years of decline and we know that there are more students with special needs, refugee students and others with unique needs entering the system.”

Bernier declined to comment on the details of the case, with another court action on the horizon.

“B.C. students rank first amongst all En-glish-speaking countries in reading, science and math in international testing,” Bernier said. “We will keep working with the BCTF so students benefit from making our great education system even better.”

A 24-year-old former BC Hockey League (BCHL) player – and one-time Surrey Eagle – was one of three people found dead in an apparent mur-der-suicide at a home in western New York Sunday morning.

Matthew Hutchinson, originally from North Vancouver, was in his fourth season playing hockey for State Universi-ty of New York (SUNY)-Gen-eseo.

According to the Geneseo Police De-partment, the three deaths occurred in an off -campus residence in Geneseo, a small town near Buff a-lo, NY.

In addition to playing and studying at the university, Hutchinson was also a volunteer fi refi ghter with the Geneseo Fire Depart-ment.

Hutchinson, a defenceman, played just two games for the

Surrey Eagles in the 2008-09 season, and went on to play for the Quesnel Millionaires, Coquitlam Express and Chilliwack Chiefs before moving on to SUNY-Geneseo.

Th e other two deceased were identi-fi ed as SUNY student Kelsey Annese, 21,

and former student Colin Kingston, 24.

Geneseo police spokes-person Jeff rey Szczesniak said Monday afternoon that Kingston and Annese had recently split up.

“Mr. Kingston was

distraught over the break-up, which led to the events of yester-day,” Szczesniak said.

“We are deeply sad-dened to hear the news of Matthew’s passing,” said BCHL Commis-sioner John Grisdale in a news release issued Monday. “He was a hockey player that worked extremely hard to earn the opportu-nities he got in the game.”

No staff were hurt in the incident, police say.

To date, Surrey RCMP have been unable to identify the suspect and are appealing for public assistance.

Th e suspect is described as an Asian male dressed as a woman wearing a patterned dress, white woolen sweater, a long, blonde curly wig and a pink toque.

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

despite government claims the practice was rare and repeated orders that it happen only in extreme situa-tions.

Th e joint review of hotel placements by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-La-fond and the Ministry of Children and Family Development came in response to a high-pro-

fi le death last Septem-ber.

Alex Gervais, an 18-year-old in care, fell or jumped to his death from the fourth fl oor of an Abbotsford Super 8 hotel, where he had been housed by the ministry after his group home was shut down due to poor conditions.

At that time, Chil-dren and Family

Minister Stephanie Cadieux suggested just one or two youths were thought to be in hotel placements.

Turpel-Lafond sus-pected the number was closer to 50 and said the count of 117 chil-dren from November 2014 to October 2014 – more than double her estimate – shows how pervasive the problem remains.

Some of those chil-dren were placed in hotels multiple times during the year, as a to-tal of 131 placements were recorded.

Most hotel stays are short – just a day or two – and Cadieux said it’s usually because of the need to urgently relocate youth until a conventional place-ment can be found, often on evenings or weekends.

But Gervais was an extreme case.

He spent 49 consec-utive days in the Ab-botsford hotel prior to his Sept. 18 death, the most recent of multiple hotel stays.

“Th e best guess we have is that Mr. Gervais spent close to 100 days in hotels over

the period of his time in care,” Turpel-Lafond said.

A further review of his case is underway and the ministry is required to report by March 31 or consent to an investigation by Turpel-Lafond’s offi ce.

“His death is a tragedy. It’s a young life lost well too soon,” said Cadieux, MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale.

The South Fraser and North Fraser regions of the Lower Mainland recorded the highest use of ho-tels – 32 and 27 place-ments respectively – followed by 14 in Vancouver/Richmond and 12 by the Fras-er Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society.

Th e hotel placements make up two per cent of B.C. children in care,

but that rose to six per cent in the North Fraser area.

Turpel-Lafond char-acterized the recurring use of hotels in those areas as “a stop-gap in lieu of having adequate placements.”

But Cadieux said she believes better coordination of the placement options that exist could go far to reducing hotel use.

Cadieux said hotel stays remain an option of last resort and while she doesn’t believe it’s good practice she would set no target date for ending it.

Manitoba has banned all use of ho-tels but Cadieux said that comparison isn’t appropriate because that province was using them system-ically.

Turpel-Lafond said she would like to see a complete ban because

of the harm hotel stays do but agreed it is not realistic.

“Th e pressures on the staff are such that they are not able to fi nd alternative placements to hotels at this time.”

Ministry staff must now report to the representative’s offi ce when any child is kept in a hotel longer than three days.

Social workers must get approval for hotel placements, which has been granted in all recent requests. Reports on hotel placements are to be made public every six months.

Cadieux said she also intends to bring a budget request to cab-inet to provide more residential resources for emergency place-ments, particularly in the Fraser areas.

She indicated she may also propose increased remunera-tion or incentives to recruit or retain foster families.

“We want to elimi-nate hotel placements entirely,” Cadieux said. “But government can’t achieve that alone. We need more people to step up, get trained and work with us to provide kids in care with the stable homes that they need and that they de-serve.”

RICK KUPCHUK

The Tamanawis Wildcats have become a dynasty at the Surrey RCMP Classic senior boys high school basketball tournament.

Playing in the championship game for the sixth con-secutive season, the Wildcats won their fourth all-Sur-rey title with a 97-69 victory over the Panorama Ridge Thunder Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The Wildcats became just the third team to win three consecutive RCMP Classic banners, and the first public school to do so. The White Rock Christian Academy Warriors won five in a row from 1999 to 2003, and three in succession in 2008-10.

“It’s a big deal for our guys, because now they have won it at the junior and senior level,” said Wildcats coach Mike McKay. “They didn’t want to be the team to drop the ball, so to speak.”

With just three grade 12s in their lineup, the Wild-cats are a mix of players who won last year’s RCMP Classic in either the junior or senior category. They never trailed in Saturday’s championship game, need-ing just five minutes to build a double-digit lead. Play-ing in their first-ever RCMP Classic final, the Thunder rallied in the second quarter to get to within two at 34-32, but the Wildcats’ lead grew slightly to 44-38 at half time. And after Tamanawis began the second half with an 8-2 run to go up by 12 points, they kept adding to their lead over the final 18 minutes.

“We started off pretty well, then made an adjust-ment to our press in the second quarter and our ener-gy went down.” said McKay. “Then we made an adjust-ment at half time to match with their fast break, and it created some turnovers and we built on that.”

Miguel Tomley, Tamanawis’ Grade 10 point guard, won his first Most Valuable Player (MVP) award as a senior. He scored 47 points, the fourth-highest total in a championship game in the tournament’s 25-year history, two years after he was the MVP as a Grade 8 player while leading the Wildcats to an RCMP title in the junior category.

Th ough they failed to earn any points on a weekend homestand at South Surrey Arena, Surrey Eagles’ coach saw brief glimpses of what his team could become, should they fi nd consistency.

Unfortunately, such glimpses did not result in any wins for the young BC Hockey League club, as the team dropped a 5-4 game to Powell River Kings Friday, and followed up Sunday with a 7-2 loss to Victoria Grizzlies.

Th e losses came on the heels of a modest, two-game undefeated streak at home the weekend prior.

“We just couldn’t keep the mojo going,” said Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld.

“I thought we played hard on Friday, but I wasn’t par-ticularly thrilled with our eff ort on Sunday. We’re slowly learning to be a consistent team – you see it in snippets – but we’re a young team and we’re not there yet.”

Friday’s game was as close as the one-goal margin of victory would indicate, with the visiting Kings staking themselves to a 1-0 lead after the opening period, on a goal from Austin Kamer. Powell River’s Adam Brubacher made it 2-0 just 18 seconds into the second frame before Jeff rey Stewart got the home team on the board seven minutes later.

Th e teams traded goals before the second intermission, with Kurt Black notching the Eagles’ marker, and each team scored twice more in the third. Brett Stewart scored for Surrey, and with the team down 5-3, Tyler Cooper scored his second goal of the season – on the power play – to bring the Birds to within one goal, but they failed to get the equalizer before time expired.

Justin Laforest was tagged with the loss for Surrey, making 25 saves.

Where Friday’s contest was close, Sunday’s went sideways from the start for the South Surrey squad.

Th e two teams hadn’t met since an Eagles’ double-over-time win on Vancouver Island in mid-October.

On Sunday, Victoria jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the fi rst period, then tacked on two more goals by the 6:54 mark of the second, which chased starting netminder Daniel Davidson from the game.

Brett Stewart fi nally got the home team on the score-board in the fi rst minute of the third period, fi ring home a slap shot for his eighth goal of the season, and Gage Mackie scored the home team’s other goal.

Th ough Neufeld was willing to cut his squad a little bit of slack on the consistency front due to their age – the Ea-gles’ are among the BCHL’s youngest teams – he reiterated that he wants to see better eff orts moving forward.

“Th e frustration for our coaching staff is that we see them play like they did on Friday, and then we follow it up with (Sunday’s game),” he said.

“Our guys need to learn that there’s really only one thing they can control every game – and that’s their work ethic. Th at’s what it comes down to – work ethic and execution.”

Th e Eagles will hit the road this weekend for three games on Vancouver Island, beginning Friday night in Nanaimo against the Clippers. On Saturday, they’ll play the Alberni Valley Bulldogs before wrapping up the trip Sunday after-noon against Powell River.

The Vancouver Giants lost back-to-back games for the first time in more than a month last weekend, failing to earn a point in a pair of home games at the Pacific Coliseum.

The Western Hockey League team fell 3-2 to the Everett Silvertips Friday night, then lost 6-4 to the Prince George Cougars Saturday evening.

The Giants had won four of five games heading into the weekend, but were handed consecutive regulation losses for the first time since Dec. 5-6. Ironically, those losses were to the Silvertips (3-1 in Everett) and Prince George (6-5 in Vancouver). Since then, the Giants were 9-3-1 (win-loss-overtime loss) heading into play last weekend, and making a charge for a playoff position.

Vancouver has now slipped back into the cellar of the Western Conference, but are just six points back of a play-off position.

The Silvertips broke a 2-2 tie with a goal midway through the second period, and main-tained the one-goal lead for the final 33 minutes of the game.

Everett opened the scoring eight minutes into the first period, then Dmitry Osipov and Alec Baer struck for the Giants with a pair of goals just 18 seconds apart. Everett tied the game 80 seconds later.

Ryan Kubic made 19 saves on 22 shots, while the Giants took 23 shots at the Everett goal.

Saturday against Prince George, the home side scored three times in the second period and took a 4-3 lead into the final frame, but couldn’t hang on.

Trevor Cox was the Van-couver goal scorer in the first period, which ended with the Cougars up 2-1. Cox then assisted on goals by Thomas

Foster and Ty Ronning in the first minute of the second period to give the Giants their first lead of the game.

After Prince George scored on the powerplay, Foster restored the Vancouver lead five minutes into the second period.

Prince George tied the game three minutes into the third period, took the lead with a powerplay goal at the six-min-ute mark, then scored into the empty net in the final minute.

Kubic was again in the Van-couver goal, stopping 33 of the 38 shots he faced.

The Giants played a pair of U.S. Division teams earlier this week, visiting the Portland Winterhawks Monday night and the Tri-City Americans on Tuesday.

They will play three home games next weekend, host-ing the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum, before visiting the Victoria Royals for two games Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

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

“I just let it come to me. I didn’t even know I had 47,” he said. “I know I had 30 at the half, but it didn’t seem like I had 17 more. I had the same number of shots I usually do, but it felt like I just wasn’t missing.”

Grade 12 guard Sagar Dulay netted 17 points for Tamanawis, with Grade 11 forward Gur-man Banghu adding 15. Dulay was selected to the tournament’s first all-star team, with teammate Kyle Uppal a second team selection.

For the Thunder, Harsiman Bhullar with 25 points, Devon Dhillon with 15, and Sahil Dha-mi and Chuks Udevi with 12 each were the top scorers. Dhami on the first team and Udevi on the second were the Thunder players named to the all-star team.

Panorama Ridge made the most of its first-ever top five finish, placing second to one of the province’s best high school basketball teams.

“That’s an accomplishment,” said Thun-der coach Parm Gill of the runner-up finish. “We’re not happy about the way this game went but it’s a learning process for us.

“This is the farthest the school has gone at the RCMP Classic, but the school has never made provincials at the senior level. So that’s what we’re aiming for now.”

Paced by all-stars Aaqib Dhillon (first team) and Jasman Basra (second team), the North Surrey Spartans claimed third place with an 81-68 win over the Southridge Storm on a consolation game. The Spartans were also

the Most Sportsmanlike Team. The Storm, awarded fifth place, were led by first-team all-star and last year’s tournament MVP Hunter Hughes.

Placing fourth were the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, 61-57 winners over the Enver Creek Cougars in another consolation game.

Rounding out the first all-star team was Gur-bant Dhaliwal of the L.A. Matheson Mustangs. Other second team selections were Brandon Tabing of Lord Tweedsmuir and Andrew Musison of Enver Creek. Macky Velasco of the Cougars was the tournament’s Most Inspira-tional Player.

The Semiahmoo Totems won the cham-pionship in the Junior category, defeating the Guildford Park Sabres 75-59 in Saturday morning’s final at Enver Creek Secondary. The Totems were there dominant team throughout the 20-team competition, winning four games by an average of 19 points, the closest game being the final against the Sabres.

“We’re very, very happy. It’s such a big tournament, so it’s nice to win it,” said Totems head coach Ed Lefurgy. “The boys played extremely hard, and defensively we were very good. We’ve got a big, athletic group, and our defensively intensity was great, we shot really well – it was just a good effort.”

Grade 10 guard Jordon Chen was named the tournament’s MVP.

“He was a one-man press break out there, and made great ball-handling decisions,” added Lefurgy. “He’s our point guard, and he’s just a natural.”

Some gather on the tidal marshes around Boundary Bay, feeding on the tens of thousands of ducks and shorebirds that use the bay as a wintering area. Other ea-gles prefer the easy pickings at the Vancouver Landfill at Burns Bog or the compost heaps and farm fields along 72 Street.

Th e Christmas bird count held each year at the end of Decem-ber regularly records between 600 and 1,300 bald eagles within a 24-kilometre radius of Ladner.

Yet, as longtime residents will remember, there was a time when there were very few eagles in the Fraser delta. Th eir num-bers have steadily risen over the last four decades.

Christmas bird count data (viewable on the Audubon.org website) reveals that on average between 1958 and 1974, fewer than three eagles were observed

on the single day, mid-winter count.

Today, it is a common oc-currence to see a dozen or more adult and juvenile eagles perched in a single tree.

Th e local population shift be-gan in the 1980s, when average count numbers fi rst rose to 76, then increased through the 1990s to 234.

Since 2006, the average tally on the Christmas bird count has soared to 936. Breeding num-bers have also increased dramatically, and there are now more than 250 nesting pairs in the lower Fraser Valley.

Audubon and Bird Studies Canada partner in organizing Christmas bird counts, which began in 1900.

Th e information gathered by thousands of volunteer bird-watchers is very valuable in learning about North American birds.

While a single year’s data can be misleading, collectively the surveys can demonstrate population trends, such as the increases in Delta’s bald eagles and Anna’s hummingbirds (now a common garden bird, yet only

observed on our local count since the mid-1980s).

Some other bird populations have declined.

The Ladner count is often first in Canada for high num-bers of birds, with typically 140-152 different species, but

in 2015 only 134 spe-cies were seen, with the cold, wet weather being a factor.

Other eagle counts are conducted at salmon spawning sites.

Last Fall, 1,400 bald eagles were recorded on the Chehalis River during the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival.

In contrast, at Brack-endale on the Squamish River, only 411 eagles were counted this January, compared with over 3,700 eagles back

in 1994. Th ere are many complexities

to the population dynamics of these majestic birds.

Pebble Hill Elementary School in Delta was recently presented with $1,000 from B.C.’s ElectroRecycle pro-gram, after winning a district-wide recycling challenge and helping to di-vert 475 kilograms of products away from landfi lls.

Th e challenge consisted of a week-long collection event, where students and parents were encouraged to learn about recycling beyond the blue bin by bringing their old, unwanted or broken small electrical appliances & power tools to be recycled at bins set up across the Delta School District. With a total of eight schools partic-ipating, nearly two tonnes worth of product was recycled.

“Th is was a fantastic initiative for the kids, the school, and the com-munity,” said Pebble Hill principal Claire Clancy. “Th e students, staff and parents all learned so much about the program, and were surprised to learn that there were in fact many products they had lying around at home that could be recycled, rather than ending up in the landfi ll.

“Our green team took extra initia-tive as well, with students creating additional posters and going around to each classroom to educate other

students about the program. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

ElectroRecycle is the fi rst small appliance and power tool recycling program of its kind in Canada and the only government-approved electri-cal products recycling program in B.C. ElectroRecycle, a not-for-profi t program, accepts more than 300 elec-

trical products ranging in size from electric toothbrushes, countertop microwave ovens and hand-held drills to treadmills.

Th ere are more than 175 drop-off locations that collect ElectroRecycle materials throughout British Colum-bia. For more information on accept-ed products, visit ElectroRecycle.ca

Edwina Jeff rey, community leader and chair of the joint planning committee for the Innovative Labour Solutions Awards (ILSA), was awarded and inducted as a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Club of Surrey.

Th e second-annual ILSA event took place on at the Eaglequest Coyote Golf Course.

Partners involved in the planning of this annual event included Th e City of Surrey-Measuring Up Committee, Th e Rotary Club of Surrey, Rotary-At-Work, BC, Com-munity Living British Columbia (CLBC), WorkBC Em-ployment Services Centres and Milieu Family Services.

Jeff rey gives her time and other resources to the local community in an eff ort to practice what Rotary believes and that is to render “Service Above Self” in an eff ort to enhance the lives of others.
