four months before her due date.At just under 36 centimetres (14 inches
long), she weighed one kilogram (2.2 pounds).With a pair of boys already running in circles
at home, Kirsten and her husband David thought they were relatively prepared to wel-come a third child. Until they had a preemie.
“After having two normal babies, it’s a very diff erent,” said Kirsten. “You don’t get to hold your baby. You don’t get to smell her head.”
Unlike her other births, the Surrey mom was also greeted by an army of hospital staff , including doctors, nurses, neonatologists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, feeding specialists and more.
“I was amazed how many people wanted to come talk to me when Joy was born,” smiled Kirsten, who called Surrey Memorial Hos-pital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
home for about three-and-a-half months. “It functions communally in that sense.”At birth, Joy was considered a Level 3 pree-
mie, meaning she wasn’t able to breathe on her own and required a ventilator and feeding tube, as well as blood pressure and other medications.

In the coming weeks, Th e Leader provides an inside look at how B.C.’s second-largest hospital has grown and adapted to treat its youngest and most vulnerable patients.
Joy Elizabeth Anonby couldn’t wait to make her debut.
Her parents and two older brothers were eager to meet her, too. But they weren’t prepared – yet.
It was April 7, 2015 when Joy de-cided to take centre stage and emerge from her mom’s womb. The length of a man’s shoe, she weighed about as much as a bottle of water.
Elev-en days earlier, complica-tions had landed mom Kirsten Anonby in hospital. “Keep that baby in,” doctors urged her.
Joy only complied for a week-and-a-half and was born at 25 weeks – nearly

Emerging police tactics to disrupt gangs that have helped fi ght violent crime in the Lower Mainland will be applied province-wide.
Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said mandatory pro-vincial standards are being developed that will require all police forces and partner agen-cies to work together under an anti-gang policing model that targets prolifi c high-risk off enders.
It’s been evolving for about three years, but top Mounties say the goal is to ensure the same methods of intelligence sharing and anti-gang en-forcement are used across the province, so a Lower Mainland gang meets the same resistance when it tries to stretch its ten-tacles out to northeastern B.C. or the Okanagan.
“My goal is to attack them where they are in the north-east part of the province, in the centre of the province and in the Lower Mainland simul-
taneously,” RCMP E Division Asst. Comm. Wayne Rideout explained at a news conference in Surrey on Wednesday.
But he said the new model can also shape police strategy in dealing with specifi c crimi-nals by helping offi cers deter-mine which ones may be ready to exit gang life as well as those who are junior members now but destined to become leaders.
“We want to disrupt their current trajectory and we want to disrupt them years before they achieve power and infl u-ence,” Rideout said, describing it as a long-term “campaign approach” to tackling gangs.
Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said the model proved its value earlier this year when Surrey, Delta and Abbotsford police worked together to counter street-level gangs that were on a public shooting spree in Surrey and Delta.
“Th ese collaborative eff orts resulted in over 5,000 people being checked, 700 people be-ing arrested or detained, along with the seizure of 22 fi rearms and 134 vehicles,” Hackett said.
Charges were laid against several suspects, including one who police allege handed a loaded gun to a youth to hide
for him.Just one incident has been
linked to those warring Sur-rey-Delta crime groups since mid-June, Hackett said, after more than 30 public shootings incidents in the spring.
NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth questioned why an enforced standard from the province is necessary to get po-lice agencies to fully cooperate.
“Most people would reason-ably expect it would already be taking place,” he said.
Anton denied there is any lack of cooperation between police forces that has prompt-ed the mandatory standard, insisting B.C. forces have better coordination than any other jurisdiction.
She said police so far have tended to use community-spe-cifi c approaches that can vary.
“What we are doing now is taking the lessons learned from best practices developed with our provincial anti-gang unit, and sharing that learning and those standards with police around B.C. so that everyone has access to the same eff ective approaches.”
All police forces in B.C. are to adopt the new standards, as are other agencies such as sheriff s, corrections offi cers and the Canada Border Service Agency.

South Surrey-White Rock MP Dianne Watts said she is not opposed to resettling Syrian refugees in Canada – but that it must be done “with due diligence and an abundance of caution.”
“Most certainly the biggest issue – and it has been my issue all along – is in terms of the time frame,” the new Conservative MP said last week, noting that she has had fi rst-hand experience with practical issues of refugee resettlement during her 10 years as mayor of Surrey.
“Bringing people into the country is easily done, but alongside that we need to do the diligence in heightening the screening pro-cess. We also have to make sure we have the funding and resourc-es in place to ensure refugee families have the support they need when they’re here.”
(On Tuesday, federal Immigration and Refugees Minister John McCallum revealed plans to slow the intake of some 25,000 Syrian refugees to 10,000 by the end of December, with the rest resettled through January and February).
But while some members of the Conservative caucus have been unreservedly critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s original commitment to bring all of the refugees into Canada by Jan. 1, 2016 – MP Candice Bergen tweeted she is “embarrassed and sickened” by the Liberal leader for his stance on refugees and Can-ada’s ISIS mission – Watts said she has no issue with the general principle of accepting refugees.
“But there’s no need to rush it, let’s just do it right,” she said,
adding that the Syrians Canada is looking at resettling are cur-rently in refugee camps, already removed from the violence in their homeland.
In a press conference following the G20 Summit in Turkey last week, Trudeau told media the government’s refugee commitment has “in no way weakened our resolve to ensure fi rst and foremost that Canadians are kept safe.”
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson and CSIS director Michel Coulombe had both gone on record as saying it is feasible to safely screen that number of refugees by the end of the year.
Watts – who received fl ak in her home riding during the election campaign for a Conservative party fl yer issued on her behalf that stated, “We will fi ght Jihadist terrorists at home and abroad” – said she has not received feedback that indicates her constituents are against accepting refugees.
But she said that resettlement involves some “very complex issues,” which can include families receiving help with health and mental health concerns, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and making sure children are properly streamed into the education system.
Th e necessary support “is multi-faceted, and needs to be secured and in place,” she said, while noting that “a lot of community organizations are prepared to step up and help.”
Th e CBC has reported that Canada’s refugee plan will focus on accepting women, children and families fi rst to avoid security risks posed by single men seeking asylum.

Th e federal Liberal government has retreated from its campaign promise to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, announcing Tuesday it has pushed that target back two months.
Th e aim now is to have 10,000 of the refugees in Canada by the end of December, with the rest arriv-ing in January and February.
“Yes, we want to bring them fast, but we also want to do it right,” Immigration Minister John McCallum said, adding that was the clear message he heard from Canadians.
“Th ere are a lot of moving parts here. So we are happy to take a little more time because that allows us to be more prepared.”
McCallum said it’s important not just to welcome incoming Syrian refugees “with a smile” but to also equip them properly.
“We want them to have a roof over their heads, we want them to have the right support for language training and all the other things that they need to begin their new life here in Canada.”
All refugees will be processed overseas and undergo biometric data collection, detailed inter-views and rigorous screening checks against multiple security databases, said Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale.
Any concern, discomfort or doubt will prompt screeners to
move on to candidates without red fl ags, he said.Women, children and families are to get priority
ahead of single men, unless they identify as LGBT or are part of a family unit.
Th e government isn’t setting any religious prefer-ence.
“We choose the most vulnerable whatever their religion might be,” McCallum said.
He predicted Syrians coming to Canada will include signifi cant numbers of Christians living in Lebanon or Jordan but outside refugee camps, acknowledging concerns that Christians avoid the camps.

Watts advocated a similar approach for
screening applicants.“It needs to be done
in layers,” she said. “We can take care of the kids, the moms
and the grandmothers; possibly make sure we get them settled before they are joined by the fathers.
“Th e issue is not people just looking at young single men in their 30s or under – that could be a very diff erent process,” she said.
Watts said that her appointment to the Conservative “shadow cabinet” as critic for infrastructure and communities will also allow her utilize ex-perience she gathered during her years as Surrey mayor (during that time she spear-headed the Build Sur-rey construction and investment initiative and served a term on the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transpor-tation).
“It touches on every-thing I was working on, both in Surrey and in the Lower Main-land,” she said.
She said she is look-ing forward to exam-ining at the issues on a national level, noting that Trudeau has mandated develop-ment of a 10-year plan for infrastructure that includes everything from public transit to social and green infrastructure, as well as the Build Canada program, which covers such development as ports and border facilities.
Th e refugees will arrive mainly via commercial fl ights, but mili-tary planes are also on stand-by if needed.
Th ey’ll initially land in Toronto or Montreal before going to vari-ous cities across the country.
Up to 3,500 of the Syrian refugees are expected to come to B.C., with many of them settling in Metro Vancouver. About one-third are expected to set down
roots in Surrey.“If they are transferred to
Vancouver, they could end up in Surrey,” McCallum said.
He added Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps is “very keen to receive ref-ugees, not just for Victoria but for other places on Vancouver Island.”
McCallum said his vision is to distribute refugees relatively evenly across the country, if possible.
Although the government won’t have control over where refugees ultimately stay, it will
avoid sending one family by itself to a community, instead dispatching them in clusters of perhaps 10 if there are no exist-ing family links.
“So they will have some people in their own community as they go to this new place,” McCallum explained.
He said “many” privately spon-sored Syrian refugees could also come to Canada in 2016 over and above the federal target of 25,000 primarily government-sponsored refugees.

In Gail Martin’s 30 years of rehabilitating wildlife, she has never seen anything like this season when it comes to the number of injured or or-phaned bear cubs she has taken in.
“We are at capac-ity for bears,” said Martin, founder and executive director of the Langley-based Critter Care Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, located in Campbell Valley Park.
“We had 31 bears, but we lost six due to severe starvation. Th ey were eating plastic and metal before they got to us. It’s just so sad,” she said.
Critter Care is used to taking in around a dozen bear cubs each year and has enough space to accommodate that number.
But now they have cubs waiting while volunteers scramble to get another enclosure ready to house the animals.
The bears are coming from all over B.C. – from Merritt and Squamish to Maple Ridge. They are a bit older than the cubs that Critter Care usually takes in, and they are severely starved. Another cub arrived from Whistler on Tuesday.
“This truly was one of the worst food years for bears, with berries coming out too early and the forest fires, it was a tragic combination,” Martin said.
“It’s also a result of
hunting and poaching. Th e mother bears are being killed, leaving the cubs to fend for themselves.”
Habitat encroach-ment and bears being hit by vehicles are adding to the challenge in B.C., she said.
It’s a problem that many say the provin-cial government needs to address. Recently, however, Premier Christy Clark said she would not review the legality of trophy hunting in B.C., stat-ing it is a economic driver.
Th e Conservation Of-fi cer Service has seen cuts in recent years, with offi cers having to cover wide swaths of territory, from Hope to Whistler.
“Conservation officers are doing a good job. They get a bad rap but as busy as they are, they are still finding time to bring us bears in need,” Martin said.
“Like us in animal rehabilitation, their job is to deal with more than just bears, but all wildlife.”
Martin said she is willing to make room for more bears, because she knows there is a need. But to do so, she would need fencing companies to pay for the enclosure.
“It’s around $100,000 for the fencing. Fencing companies could come in and get it set up fast. That would be amazing,” she said.
She said come spring time, the cubs will be big and then “they
don’t like each other.” For that reason, she can’t put 10 animals in one enclosure.
Once they’re released back into the wild, they have to have room to roam and food to eat. It’s a constant worry, she said.
The cost to feed the bears and all the other animals in care is rising. Bears eat berries, vegetables, salmon and other perishables.
Critter Care’s Christ-mas store opens Dec. 7 until Dec. 19, seven
days a week, from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Th e public is invited to shop or make a dona-tion to help cover the bears’ expenses.
Items for sale include bear paw jogging pants, PJs, bear slip-pers, coasters, Critter Care birthday cards, calendars, socks and more.
Critter Care is located at 481 216 St. Th ere will be no viewing of the animals.

Th e kids were fi nally asleep, the house was quiet and Tucker was tuckered out on the sofa, furry belly in air.
“Isn’t this nice?” said my husband, Jason, putting one hand on my knee, the other reaching for the remote.
Nefl ix, a big buttery bowl of popcorn and chilled Chardonnay were on the agen-da, but plans were about to change – fast.
“Whoooo!” screeched a voice from outside our living room window. Followed shortly by a “Oh no, he’s going to....”
Th en came the sickening sound of a body hitting the pavement.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” said the exasperated hubs, who pressed pause on our short-lived plans to escape the responsibilities of parenthood.
“Th is can’t be happening. Again.” Turns out our youthful neighbours
decided to throw another big bash while mom was out of town. And this one oozed out onto the street, threatening to
wake up our bambinas, taunting daddy bear to come out of his cave and growl.
He was met with a fl urry of crop tops, skateboards and red solo cups – not a single “adult” in sight.
While I’m sure a handful of the party-goers were of legal age, some didn’t look a day over 15, including the intoxicated boy on a scooter.
Th e mom in me immediately noticed he wasn’t sporting a helmet.
Some might argue that a teenage house party is a rite of passage – one that many would turn a blind eye to. Why not just shut the window and close the blinds? After all, it wasn’t all that long ago that Jason and I were both teenagers.
But once you pop out a couple kids, it’s not as easy to drown out the fact, even with Chardonnay, that these kids were putting themselves in danger.
It’s even harder to ignore the thought that these youngsters could be our own
darling daughters in the very near future. God help us.
We decided to go the “cool” route fi rst and unleash papa bear.
“Hey guys, we just got our kids to sleep. Do you think you could all go inside and turn down the noise?” asked Jason.
His pleasantries worked for around fi ve minutes and then the chaos resumed in full force.
Th e second house call was a little more curt.
“If you don’t keep it down we WILL call the police,” growled Jason.
“What did that F&! #$% say to me?,” roared a tough guy from the balcony, being physically held back by friends.
Th e third call wasn’t to the party – it was to the cops.
Luckily for the teens, they decided to shut down the soirée soon after.
We watched as some rolled off into the blackness of night on scooters and skate-boards – sans helmets. Others climbed into what I’m guessing were their parents’ mini-vans.
Once again, all was quiet, except for the nagging worries that played like a movie reel in my head starring our kids, a future Molly and Zoe.
One day, not too far down the road, I’m sure our two darling daughters will attend a house party. I can only hope that there is an “uncool” nosy neighbour or two supervising from afar. And if said person wants to call the cops, please be my guest.
One night in the drunk tank sure beats a serious injury. Or worse.

Are you offering help to the Syrian refugees who are coming to Canada?
To answer, go to the home page of our website atsurreyleader.com
Will you be supporting or relying on the Surrey Christmas Bureau this year?Here’s how you responded:

Th e Sikh community is step-ping up to the plate to ensure that Syrian refugees get off to a good start when they come to Canada.
Liberal MP Randeep Sarai, who represents Surrey Centre in the House of Commons, convened a meeting last weekend to see what support could be off ered to the 3,000 refugees who are expected in B.C. within the next few months. About 30 represen-tatives of various organizations have pledged a wide variety of support, from accommodation to transportation, to child care and education.
Services for children are of particular importance. Surrey is expected to be the destina-tion for many of the refugees, perhaps 1,000 or more. School and child care spaces are in short supply here. Surrey’s continuing growth and large number of young families means expansion of such services is constantly falling behind.
Khalsa School, which has two campuses in Surrey, has off ered free tuition for a year for up to 1,000 students. Th is very gener-ous off er would take a great deal of pressure off the public school system in Surrey.
Khalsa School already operates an extensive bus system to bring students from all over the Lower Mainland to its campuses, so
transportation would also be taken care of for students.
In addition, the Sikh commu-nity, which has organized as the Sikh Societies of B.C. to help the new arrivals, is off ering 100 child care spaces. Th ese will be greatly appreciated by single parents in particular, who will be dealing with a lot of meetings and other situations, which are diffi cult to manage without child care.
Th e organizations have pledged to fi nd free housing for up to 200 families. Th is too will relieve a lot of pressure, as housing is both hard to come by (particularly for refugees) and expensive in the Lower Mainland. Housing that is close to schools and public tran-sit will be particularly welcomed.
Various Sikh gurdwaras in Surrey and other communities are collecting food, blankets, clothing and other supplies from members of their congregations.
“Welcoming others, new-comers, was part of their life, whether they knew them or not,” Sarai said of the gener-osity pledged by the societies. “Whether immigrants came from India, or whether they were refugees in tumultuous times in the 1980s, the Sikh way, the Canadian way, was always to give them a home, help them at the temple and help feed them.”
Many other organizations are also working hard to prepare for the infl ux of refugees. Th e Liberal government has backed off its campaign pledge to have 25,000 admitted to Canada by Dec. 31, but still expects that many people to have arrived here by Feb. 29, 1016.
Th us far, it appears that indi-viduals and community orga-nizations are far ahead of the government in making prepara-tions for the refugees and they are determined to make them feel welcome.
Th is type of generosity is important. Th us far, 2.1 million homes, 7,000 schools and half of Syria’s hospitals have been destroyed. As many as 250,000 are dead and 7.6 million are displaced within Syria, and another four million have fl ed the country.
Syrian refugees have endured terrible ordeals in the past four years and the type of welcome they receive here will be key in making it easier for them to adapt to life in a new country.
Th e Sikh organizations are a fi ne example of Canadian generosity. Th at generosity is one reason so many people from all over the world have come here.

Our quiet Grandview Acres neighborhood has been severely impacted by high-density over-development, so we were relieved when Surrey council approved our request that the area be rezoned to “Rural Designation” last September to protect our acreages from further piecemeal development. (For a detailed overview of the process, visit www.GrandviewStewardship.org).
When it comes to land development, it is widely acknowledged that municipalities have an obligation to grant existing homeowners adjacent to new subdivisions meaningful input as part of the development process. Municipalities are also obliged to protect existing neighbourhoods from encroaching overcrowding and overdevelop-ment by creating an appropriate buff er of similar frontages, density and design on the periphery of adjacent high-density subdivisions.
Unfortunately, on Nov. 16, council gave fi nal approval to a high-density duplex development directly across 26 Avenue from our single-family homes, despite the fact that 350 of our neigh-bours signed a petition opposing the plan. In the process, once again council ignored Surrey’s own development policies regarding “sensi-tive” transitions between established suburban neighbourhoods and new urban subdivisions, which is confi rmation that the city’s policies are toothless when it comes to protecting the rights of homeowners.
Th is decision sets a horrible precedent for Surrey residents faced with the prospect of green development notifi cation signs across the street.

With Black Friday here, followed by the Christmas season, I begin to worry about my days.
I am fully in support of various causes and events of awareness, but our 24-hour slots are quickly being consumed by “spe-cial” days. Failing to stem the tide ,we risk fi nding ourselves with a day shortage.
Cyber Monday, Toonie Tuesday, Superbowl Sunday and Seniors’ Th ursday leave only Wednesday, Friday and Saturday unclaimed.
Boxing Day, Hallow-een, Valentines Day, Worldwide Celebra-tion of Weights and Measures Day, Wookie Life Day and others are quickly eliminat-ing ordinary 24-hour stretches.
Weeks are also falling prey to unilaterally declared causes: Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Global Entrepre-neur Week, Worldwide Breastfeeding Week are examples. With fewer weeks available, confl icts are arising.
Th e UN-declared World Space Week fi nds itself at odds with the Marijuana Users Association, which wants to use the same time slot for World Spaced Week. However, Geography Awareness Week organizers have gone into talks with their counterparts at the Directionally Chal-lenged Week offi ces. Both groups are hoping for a mutually produc-tive collaboration.
Months are no excep-tion to the onslaught. October was declared 4-H Month, as well as American Cheese Month and Menopause Month.
Novembers com-petition sees Banana Pudding Lovers, Pecan Eaters and Novel Writ-ers all vying to have this same slot as their own. Future confl ict can be assured.
I submit that we
end this penchant for special days, weeks and months. To have a simple Saturday where there are no concerns other than sitting at leisure would be satisfying. A mundane Monday where I do no more than mum-ble about the morons around me would be marvelous. Weeks without World Alliance groups waving placards and months devoid of declarations of various sorts seems desirable.
Act now before the days, weeks and months of your calen-dar are as gone as your choices.

VIKKI HOPES
An Abbotsford man who is an RCMP offi cer in Surrey has been fi ned $2,500 for lying to ICBC about how he crashed his pick-up truck in Cloverdale two years ago.
James Steven Baker was convicted last month of providing false or mis-leading information related to the crash that took place Dec. 10, 2013. His sentencing was last Friday (Nov. 20) in Abbotsford Provincial Court.
According to the written judgment when he was convicted, Baker was driving his black Dodge Ram pick-up on 64 Avenue at about 5:35 a.m. when the incident occurred.
Baker claimed he was struck by another vehicle before he fi shtailed into a ditch, but the Crown argued that the crash involved only Baker’s truck and resulted from him driving too fast for the winter road condi-tions.
A City of Surrey salt truck driver testifi ed that no other vehicle was involved. Th e driver stated that Baker’s truck had passed him on a median on the left and lost control when he tried to merge back into the right lane.
Further evidence showed that there was no damage to the left side of Baker’s vehicle and the damage that did exist wasn’t consistent with being struck by a car cutting across its path from the left side, as the accused had suggested.

A man found guilty in an armed bank robbery in Surrey three years ago has lost an appeal of his conviction.
A judge found Justin Dwayne Paquet, 26, guilty in June 2013 of robbing a TD Canada Trust in Whalley on Dec. 2, 2012, with his face masked and using an imitation fi rearm.
Paquet fi led an appeal, arguing his conviction should be overturned.
During the trial, Paquet admitted to giving the police a false
name when he was arrested, but denied he had committed the robbery – a stance corroborated by a wit-ness, David Byrd, who testifi ed it was him and a second person who’d robbed the bank, not Paquet.
Th e judge, however, didn’t believe Paquet or Byrd, who had shared a jail cell together on two separate occasions.
Following a hearing in the B.C. Court of Appeal in October, the appeal was dismissed in a judgment posted online Nov. 20.
In it, Justice Richard Goepel details that two masked individuals en-tered the bank that day in 2012 – an incident that was captured on video surveillance.
Th e robbers were given $7,500, but one of them also took $165 he saw sitting out. Th e
small stack of cash, it turned out, was decoy money that included a GPS device that acti-vated when picked up.
When Paquet was arrested, he was in possession of much of the decoy money. Th e GPS also provided police with accurate information about where the thieves were, and when, after they left the bank.
Th e Appeal Court jus-tices agreed with the trial judge that there was not suffi cient time for all the traveling and exchanges of money that Paquet alleged took place prior to his arrest 20 minutes after the robbery. (Byrd, it was noted, was already serving a lengthy sentence and wouldn’t have a lot to lose by giving false testimony).
“Th e circumstantial evidence was over-
whelming,” wrote Justice Goepel, with Justices Edward Chias-son and Nicole Garson in agreement. “Th e tri-al judge was correct in fi nding that the ‘only reasonable and com-mon sense inference’ was that it was the appellant who robbed the TD bank. Th ere was ample evidence to sup-port that conclusion. Th e suggestion that the verdict was unreason-able and unsupported by the evidence is without merit.”

Shots rang out in Newton earlier this week, as bullets were fi red into a home on Monday night.
On Nov. 23 at 11 p.m., Surrey RCMP received calls from peo-ple who say they heard gunshots in the area of 14200 Street and 62A Avenue.
Witnesses then saw a suspect, described as a South Asian male wearing a mask,run-ning from the area.
Police also received calls from within a residence reporting that shots were fi red towards two people who were in the garage.
Th e two intended victims are known to police and it is believed that this was a targeted attack. At this point, the victims are not being cooperative with police.

With Black Friday upon us, and Cyber Monday around the corner, one Surrey school is looking at giv-ing back on GivingTuesday.
Surrey Christian School is spend-ing Dec. 1 collecting money and instruments for its music program and the installation of three water fountains for students.
Th e school is also making extra eff orts to collect and donate items
for the Surrey Food Bank, for which it collects year-round.
Donations to the food bank from students and the public will be shipped before Christmas.
GivingTuesday originated in the U.S. as a day dedicated to giving back and as a counterweight to the post-American-Thanksgiving shopping season.
It promotes volunteering as well as fi nancial support to non-profi t groups.
Organizer Clara Atagi says the school’s goal is $60,000 and that donations can be made online at http://www.surreychristian.com/giving-tuesday-december-1/
Th e school has donation bins for the food bank at 8888 162 St.

Another SkyTrain failure created a chaotic commute for transit users leaving downtown Vancouver on Nov. 24.
Damage to power collector equip-ment on one train is believed to have triggered the pow-er failure that shut down Expo and Mil-lennium Line service between Broadway and Waterfront for several hours start-ing around 3 p.m.
Trains ran normal-ly elsewhere on the system and extra buses were scrambled to shuttle passengers between aff ected stations.

No longer are golf carts generic little fl at top boxes on four tiny wheels. Th ey sport luxury marque details including branded hubcaps, more seating, air conditioning, cleverly mounted holders, compartments, pockets and tie-ons. And it is a universal truth: ‘kids’ of all ages love to drive and ride in golf carts.
Th e timing for an article about golf carts may seem odd: ‘tis the pre-season here, after all, for snow tires and snowmobiles. But, for many Canadians, ‘tis also time for thinking about winter-getaways where golf-cart-riding ranks high on the ‘fun-to-do’ list.
However, early in this pre-season, a news report from Southern California reminds us of the fragility of golf carts, and how, as Sgt. Daniel Hesser with the California Highway Patrol [CHP] puts it, “when you are in a golf cart or on a bicycle or on a motorcycle you have much lower levels of protection, and when you are putting yourself on roadways with regular vehicles there is that enhanced danger.”
Th e occasion for Sgt. Hesser’s caution was, according to news reports, the crash on Wednesday November 18, 2015 at 3:22 pm in Th ousand Palms, a northern suburb of Palm Springs. Th e weather was sunny with maybe, at that time of day, a hint of the approaching dusk. Ronald Little, 76 of Lac La Hache, BC along with his two dogs, Candy and Beans, and his friend Neil Karran, 77 of Kelowna, BC were in a golf cart heading north on Desert Moon Drive approaching the intersection with Colonial Drive—travelling through the Tri-Palm
Estates community, speed limit 25 miles per hour—when a Mercedes Benz SUV up from behind struck the left rear of their cart with such force that it was launched into the adjacent brick wall a few feet away.
News reports say, “Th e occupants of the golf cart were ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. [Th e] two dogs …also died.” Quoting CHP Public Information Offi cer Mike Radford, the crash caused, “moderate damage to the Mercedes and major damage to the golf cart;” quoting TV news, the golf cart was a “mangled mess of destruction”.
Th e SUV driver, a resident of Palm Desert remained at the scene and was cooperative. Subsequently she was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, driving under the infl uence of drugs causing injury, animal cruelty, and driving with a suspended license. Authorities reportedly said the SUV driver was going over 50 MPH. Th ey also said there was no indication that the victims “were doing anything wrong.” Apparently, driving a golf cart on the roadway was permissible under the local law. Witnesses said speeding on the community roadways was a common problem, though not usually caused by senior drivers.
Th is tragedy reminds us again of the danger impaired drivers pose to other road users, especially the most vulnerable. And golf-cart users might consider their vulnerability and non-exemption from risk, despite the virtues of their small size, slow speed, non-emitting vehicles.
Newspaper reports stated that Mr. Karran’s wife had said her husband had been looking forward to his fi rst visit to the desert and the opportunity to help his friend fi x up his vacation home before selling it.

Th e B.C. government gets its worst marks from voters on its handling of TransLink and the issue of off shore money pouring into Metro Vancouver real estate.
Th at’s one of the fi ndings of a new poll released by Insights West.
Just 10 per cent of B.C. resi-dents surveyed said they approve of the province’s decisions on TransLink, and 83 per cent in Metro Vancouver have a negative view. Transit expansion re-
mains mired in political gridlock after voters rejected a proposed 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax to fund improvements. Th e province requires another referendum for any new TransLink tax.
“If the vote was a rejection on the way TransLink operates – which defi nitely it was – there really hasn’t been a lot of move-ment on how you are going to be changing things down the road,” said Mario Canseco, Insights West vice-president.
Peter Fassbender, the minis-ter responsible for TransLink, has ruled out major governance reforms.
On the province’s response to the issue of foreign ownership of housing, just 12 per cent of B.C. residents said they were satis-
fi ed, and 73 per cent in Metro disapprove. Th e province has faced repeated calls to deter the infl ow of foreign money, blamed by some for helping drive up Vancouver-area prices.
Th e government is studying its options. It has so far indicated it will avoid any measure that reduc-es the equity of existing home-owners, but may possibly add an extra tier of Property Transfer Tax when high-end homes change hands.
As with TransLink, Canseco said the high disapproval rating shows the issue cuts beyond voters who generally oppose the B.C. Liberals.
“It’s not a situation that it’s just aff ecting those who are more likely to support the Greens or the NDP,” he said. “Even your own
base is saying this is a fi le you need to deal with.”
Seventy per cent also disap-proved of the province’s manage-ment of BC Ferries.
On Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline proposal, 57 per cent said the government has done a bad job.
Th e government scored better on its handling of crime and public safety, the economy and jobs, and on energy pipelines and liquefi ed natural gas – it had 30 to 35 per cent approval on those issues.
Th e only recent decision of the government to get signifi cant support was its reforms to the sale of alcohol – 42 per cent said it did a good job.
Th e economy and jobs remains
the top ranked provincial issue, followed by health care, housing/poverty/homelessness, govern-ment accountability and the environment.
Th e poll found 39 per cent of decided voters would support the NDP if an election were held to-day, compared to 34 per cent for the B.C. Liberals, 16 per cent for the B.C. Green party and seven per cent for the B.C. Conserva-tives.
Canseco said the Greens are essentially tied for second place with the Liberals on Vancouver Island.
Overall, Premier Christy Clark’s approval rating is 29 per cent (69 per cent disapprove). NDP leader John Horgan has a 39 per cent approval rating.

TransLink closed more faregates on Sky-Train last in recent weeks to spur Compass card-carrying passen-gers to remember to tap off .
And it says December will be the last month when transit users can buy an old-style paper monthly pass – all users of those passes
will have to switch to Compass cards for Jan-uary and load the pass onto their account.
Th at’s expected to push still more riders onto Compass as the payment card’s phased roll-out continues.
Spokesperson Jennifer Morland said TransLink expects about 100,000 Com-pass users to ultimate-ly load monthly passes, down from around 130,000 in the past with paper passes. Th e decrease is because some are expected to decide the “stored val-ue” option on Compass
is a better option for them.
In November, 29,000 monthly passes were loaded on Compass, so the bulk of the
expected monthly pass conversions is still to come.
A continuing chal-lenge during the tran-sition is that Compass
users who forget to tap off get charged the maximum three-zone fare even if they travelled only one or two zones.
That resulted in a blizzard of complaint calls in the first week of November, forcing TransLink to reim-burse several thou-sand affected passen-gers.
Th e numbers have subsided but Morland said about 30 per cent of passengers are still forgetting to tap out.
“We know this is a big change for our cus-tomers and it is going
to take some getting used to,” Morland said.
Asked if there’s potential for false requests for refunds, Morland admitted TransLink has no way to tell for certain that an overcharge com-plainant really exited after one zone and didn’t ride further.
“Without them tap-ping out it isn’t possi-ble for us to see exactly where they’ve crossed,” she said, but added TransLink’s focus is on education and “making it right.”
Most passengers who request fare adjust-ments for a forgotten tap out only call once, she said.
“Once they make that initial call and have that adjustment they’ve learnt what they need to do to pay the correct fare and we’re not seeing repeat calls.”
If passengers ap-peared to be repeat-edly seeking adjust-ments to scam the system, Morland said, “that’s something we’d monitor and look at on a case-by-case basis.”
As of Nov. 21, two faregates were closed instead of just one at most stations on the Millennium and Expo Lines. It’s hoped that will provide an extra visual cue to tap out.
More gates may close and TransLink intends to eventually close all gates, although it has no timetable for doing so.
TransLink has not yet said when it will stop selling prepaid FareSaver tickets – which would no longer work once the final gates close and would have to be converted to credit on Compass.
“Stored value is really the new FareSaver,” Morland said. “We are encouraging our cus-tomers to make that change now.”
More than 300,000 Compass cards have been activated and TransLink expects that number to climb to about 500,000.
Tap-outs are not re-quired on buses, where riders pay only one zone fare regardless of how far they travel.

Imagine a panto that looks just like a big pop-up children’s fairy tale book.
Th at’s the design concept Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society is going for in its latest Christmas pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Directed by Mike Balser, and produced by Lyn Verra-Lay, it returns to traditional territory – after a few experimental years – with a tried-and-true British panto script of the fairy tale favourite, last produced by the society in 1988.
“Th at was the fi rst FVGSS panto I was involved in, with all the family,” costume co-super-visor Linda O’Donovan recalled fondly.
And she and co-supervisor Chris Roberts, both South Sur-rey residents, have been more than happy to supply a costume plot for the show to match the set design of Omanie Elias’ (Balser’s spouse).
“She’s amazing; a wonderful scene painter,” said Roberts. “She does it for a living.”
“We’re lucky to have her involved in the shows through being married to the director,” added O’Donovan.
Other regular production veterans include Tim Tucker (musical director), Carol Seitz (choreographer) and props mis-tress Maxine Howchin.
O’Donovan and Roberts added it feels like old times to be re-united as the core of the costume team, missing only the presence of frequent team supervisor Melody Dickson (who has a few too many claims on her time to
be involved this year).In many ways, they said,
FVGSS pantomimes are always like family get-togethers – their husbands have both been very involved over the years (Roberts’ husband Peter often taking on the role of the ‘dame’ since they entered the FVGSS fold in the early ’90s) and their children have grown up steeped in the annual tradition.
It usually happens that one family member in a produc-tion leads to the rest getting in on the fun, they said. FVGSS panto casts are rife with spouses and children sharing the stage, or pitching in with costumes, scenery construction and other backstage chores – with a usual commitment of some 10 hours a week through the rehearsal period.
“It’s a wonderful way for a child to get dance and singing and theatre training for relatively nothing outside of a membership to the society,” said O’Donovan.
“Th ey’re not only learning stagecraft, but also about the importance of community – and fi nding lifelong friends.”
Both raised in England (Rob-erts grew up just north of Lon-don, while O’Donovan is from Derby) they don’t need special study to understand panto’s blend of fairy tale, music hall and burlesque that is the stuff of fond Christmas memories for most native Britons – or the
look required for principal boy, principal girl, dame, comedy foils and generic villagers.
And having a clear sense of the idiom helps when you’re putting together pieces on a fi xed budget that involves reworking cos-tumes – a resource from decades of FVGSS shows – stored in the society’s warehouse.
And they’re quick to credit the help they’re receiving from volunteers who have taken ownership of one or two special costumes each in Jack and the Beanstalk, including the tradi-tional panto animal, Daisy the Cow.
“‘Pantoland’ works really well in a pop-up village,” observed O’Donovan, while she and Rob-erts noted they have hewed to a more 18th-century look, rather than the medieval approach also
popular in tradition-al panto design.
“I used to dance in pantomimes (in Brit-ain) back in the days when the casts used to be divided into dancers and singers,” said Roberts, adding that the experience gave her an up-close insight into all the costume variations possible.
“You take lots of liberties with the period of costumes,” she added.
While a glitzed-up, over-the-top dame would seem to be mandatory, it wasn’t always the way, depending on the comedian taking the role, she said.
“One I worked with didn’t want anything fancy at all – he just wore a simple black dress.”
Th at’s not the approach with this year’s dame – Dame Trot – played by Roger Kettyls. A newcomer to society shows, he’s often played dames in Metro

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS!
Pricing a house correctly is the most important factor when looking to sell; you don’t want to overprice or undervalue. However, the process of achiev-ing that golden number is not so simple, partly because real estate prices tend to fl uctuate quickly. It's important to consult a variety of resources to appraise your home's current value.
A house is meant to be lived in, but it shouldn’t look that way when trying to sell it. While every nick in the wall and stain on the carpet may tell a story, it’s time to prepare the home for a new chapter. Th e goal is to show-case the property and to appeal to a wide audience of potential buyers. It’s important not to allow an emotional attachment to those four walls create a bias towards the home’s true market value.
According to Bruce Robinson, Partner at Hugh & McKinnon Realty, pricing a home is not an exact science.
“You consider what is sold, what is on the market today (your competition) and fi t your property into the market at a
level that you feel is competitive,” he says. “Th e primary method for determining the value of a property is to compare it with other homes that are on the mar-ket, along with homes that have sold and homes that might have been on the market that may not have sold.”
Determining a competitive asking price for your home will be based on the current housing market information. Th e closer your asking to market value, the higher volume of off ers you’ll tend to receive.
As for tips when assessing a home’s value based on its current state?
“Th ere is no one thing that covers all properties,” says Robinson, however, get rid of clutter, clean garages, weed the gardens touch up of paint where required.”
Beyond the home, some fac-tors to take into consideration when determining the price point include the location, the view, lot size, landscape, and presence of wildlife.
As previously mentioned, the condition of the home also matters. Is the layout out-dated? When is the last time renovations
were completed? Consider the quality of con-
struction, fi nishes, and fi xed appliances, the age of the home, whether it requires major or minor upgrades, and if there any signs of deterioration.
Finding the perfect selling amount is one step, but knowing when to put it on the market is another key factor to success.
To this, Robinson says that historically spring was always considered the opportune time to place a home on the market, however, the last few years the season doesn’t appear to make much of a diff erence.
“We think it’s more important for an owner to consider where they are moving to, as it’s easier to sell today than it is to buy,” he says. “Make sure you have a place to move to before you enter a contract to sell, [there is] nothing worse than selling, and then hav-ing to pay a premium to get back into the market.”
Some additional resources to consult for guidance are:
Th e Multiple Listing Service (MLS): Th is is a database that tracks homes that have been bought and sold.
Your home's sales history: You
bought the home at the listed price for a reason. Th ink back to what was appealing to you about the home and how it compared to other houses on the market and in the neighbourhood at that time.
Local listings and open houses: Read local ads and visit open houses for guidance.
Trends: Use local and national news to monitor changes in real
estate prices. Keep an eye on mortgage rates, the overall health of the market, and other similar factors that may aff ect a buyer’s confi dence.

Premature babies are categorized based on age and weight, as well as their respiratory, neurological and cardiovascular status. While Level 1s don’t need a lot of support, Level 2s usually have trouble breathing and require extra intravenous nutrition. Babies born at Level 4 are critically ill, requiring surgeries or with heart defects, and must be treated at B.C. Children’s Hospital.
SMH and Royal Columbian Hospital have the only NICU wards in the region able to provide around-the-clock care for Level 3 infants, which often come from across the province.
Located in the Critical Care tower that opened at SMH in 2014, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is divided into four “pods” with 12 rooms apiece, allowing for 48 premature babies to be housed at one time. One of the 12-bed wings is not yet open, but there are still between 25 and 32 preemies on the ward on any given day.
Th e previous Surrey NICU ward had just 20 beds and was routinely at or over capacity, often with families sharing rooms. All the rooms on the new ward are private and large enough to accommodate twins.
Th e state-of-the-art facility is designed to not only consider health care workers’ needs, but those of the baby and parents. Th e touches are subtle, like light fi xtures on the wall that shine upward so as to not glare down on newborns lying in incuba-
tors or bassinets. Sound-proofi ng panels surreptitiously line the rooms, which are furnished with sofa beds and recliner chairs for breastfeeding.
“We found the facility here to be amazing,” said Kirsten.Th ere’s even a neonatal and pediatric pharmacy down the
hall, specializing in preparing the proper medications and pre-cise doses for the hospital’s tiniest, most vulnerable patients.
Due to Joy’s high level of need, Kirsten spent many long
weeks in the NICU, routinely staying overnight three to four times a week, the back-and-forth travel between home and hospital made easier by the fact her family lives in Surrey. (Parents also have the on-site Ronald McDonald House as a respite. See sidebar).
Th e length of a baby’s stay in the NICU can vary from hours to several months, depending on their health needs.
Kirsten recalls the many milestones as Joy grew and gained strength. Holding her new daughter – usually tucked safely in her incubator – rated high, but was still scary with the web of breathing, feeding and monitoring lines and cables still attached to her little body.
It was “lovely” the day Joy came off the respirator.“Th e fi rst time I held her without that, I cried… I got to
touch her head,” Kirsten said.Nurse Brenda Haan, a clinical nurse educator at SMH since
2001, said staff inevitably bond with the families and their tiny bundles.
“We get attached to those babies,” she says, smiling and acknowledging that depending on the family’s circumstanc-es, nurses may spend more time with the infants than their parents.
When Joy fi nally got the okay to go home, she was over three-and-a-half months old and weighed more than eight pounds.
Wide-eyed and attentive, she was able to hold her head high – ready to make another big entrance: at home.

Having a loved one in the hospital can be an anxious time. If it’s your child, the stress is only compounded.
When Conny Robles and Vir Mohan had their daugh-ter a month-and-a-half early, she weighed under five pounds. Their premature baby required close moni-toring and help breathing and was taken straight to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

With five other daughters – three still living at home – the couple’s life was thrown into disarray. On top of worrying about baby and mom’s recovery, there were other children to care
for, meals to make, dogs to feed and a home to run.
Then they discov-ered Ronald McDon-ald Family Room.
“When I walked in, it was so overwhelm-ing,” said Robles. “You feel like you’ve been out in the rain
and someone puts a blanket over you. It was like a little piece of home.”
Indeed, the facili-ty, located just steps down the hallway from the NICU ward, feels like the inside of a house, complete with a large kitchen and din-
ing room and lounge spaces with couches and coff ee tables. Th ere’s also a play area for children, TV and computer stations, laundry facilities and four private bedrooms with showers if par-ents need to stay on site overnight.
Opened in mid-2014, it’s so far used mainly by families of infants being treated in the NICU. With the ward being one of only two serving high-need preemies in the re-gion, parents sometimes don’t live nearby.
“Th ey have everything. I couldn’t imagine it un-less I saw it with my own eyes,” said Mohan. “For me, it was really nice that I could go home, feed the dogs, see the kids, bring dinner back here and eat here.
“I love this place. When I went home, I missed it.”
Th e good news for Mo-han and other parents is they can reconnect with the family room staff and other parents at monthly teas held at the Ronald McDonald facility. It’s a chance for families to connect, compare notes and often, reassure one another during often frightening times with their newborns.
Holding their now-healthy daughter, Selina Liya, her thick black hair adorned with a crown barrette, the couple vows they’ll give back to the family room either by volun-teering or donating.
“You don’t realize how amazing it is to have a little place here – a chance to have a little family time,” Ro-bles said. “It was like a lifesaver.”
Th e area is open for families to come in and out of from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day and the over-night sleeping rooms are booked based on greatest need.
About 400 volunteer hours are required each month to run Ronald McDonald Family Room. Th ose interested (must be 19 or older) can email [email protected].

Th e day after winning the Uteck Bowl ink Antigonish, Nova Scotia, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Th underbirds boarded a bus to make their way to Quebec City.
Considering the CIS (Cana-dian Intercollegiate Sports) football team had just earned a berth in the Vanier Cup national championship game, it could have been assumed a celebration would have made the trip seem shorter. It didn’t.
“It’s still 10 hours,” said off ensive lineman and North Delta native Ethan Sadowski. “Normally, the day after a game go for a run.”
After their 36-9 romp past the St. Francis Xavier X-Men last Saturday afternoon in a national semifi nal game, the T-Birds have one more game to play. Tomorrow (Saturday) they will kick-off against the Montreal Carabins.
“It’s not quite the same, it’s a little bit diff erent,” said Sad-owski of playing in the Vanier Cup. “I won’t fi nd it too hard to stay focused.”
Sadowski is one of fi ve players from the Surrey/North Delta area on the T-Birds roster, enjoying the unexpected postseason run. In addition to the Seaquam Seahawks graduate, third-year off ensive line-man Tony Ganton of North Delta, second year receiver Will Watson of South Surrey, and fi rst-year players Malcolm Lee at receiver and Vikaram Varpaul on off ensive line are also contributing.
Th e T-Birds were a mediocre 2-2 (win-loss) at the midway point of the Canada West season, then ran the table. Th ey placed second with a 6-2 record, knocked off the
Manitoba Bisons 52-10 in the Canada West semifi nal then stunned the Calgary Dinos 34-26 in the Canada West championship game on Nov. 14. Calgary ripped the T-Birds 41-16 in the regular season’s fi rst game, and was unbeaten in league play.
“After a loss to Saskatche-wan (49-25 in Vancouver), it opened up our eyes to the po-tential we had,” said Watson,
who emerged as an off ensive threat this season. “On a lot of teams, players have potential and don’t do much with it. We started to work harder, we played more as a team.
“We then beat Alberta (39-21 in Edmonton), and it wasn’t pretty. But it was a start. We just knew what we needed to do.”
Playing in the Vanier Cup wasn’t on the radar when the postseason began. But three wins late, including the last two on the road, has the T-Birds one win away from
their fi rst national champi-onship since 1997, when the T-Birds defeated the Ottawa Gee Gees 39-23 in Toronto.
Sadowski will play the game like it’s any other. But he also knows being in a champi-onship game is something special.
“We won the B.C.’s (provin-cial championship) when I was a Grade 9 (at Seaquam) in Senior AA,” he said. “We were always projected to go far in the playoff s, and we did go far, but we never won another championship.
“Not a lot of guys get this chance. And for some guys, this could be their last game.”
It was hard for Sadowski to put a fi nger on what turned the season around for the T-Birds. A defensive lineman for his fi rst three seasons at UBC, he missed the fi rst half of the season due to injury, then returned to play on off ense at the midway point.
Watson, who had a team high 57 receptions and 763 yards in his second season as a receiver, said not looking too far ahead

Winnipeg in late November isn’t likely to be on many people’s list of preferred destinations, but Sean Whyte wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Th e 30-year-old Edmonton Eskimos kicker – a White Rock native and former Surrey Ram – is in the Hub City alongside his teammates, and on Sun-day will square off against the Ottawa Redblacks in the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup champi-onship.
“It’s surreal, but I’m just trying to open my eyes and take it all in,” Whyte told Th e Leader Wednes-day. “It’s just really cool to be here, but it’s hard to believe. Even just going out to the stadium today for practice, I looked around and was like, ‘Wow, we’re really doing this.’ ”
While getting the chance to play for a champion-ship is a big moment for any athlete, this year’s Grey Cup has even more signifi cance for Whyte, consider-ing where he started the season – and where he very nearly ended up.
Whyte, a Semiahmoo Secondary grad, began the year with the Montreal Alouettes, the team on which he’d played since 2011, when he was traded by his hometown B.C. Lions.
Despite being the team’s starting kicker since his arrival, Whyte soon found himself in a backup role with the Als, and eventually was cut from the team altogether.
“It was mentally draining and it kind of took the love of the game away from me a little bit,” said
Whyte, who is in his ninth season in the league.
“I went home and I was actually about to start a new job. But luckily, the same day I was going to hand in my resume and get ready to take some classes, Edmon-ton called me.
“Coming to this team has completely rejuvenated me. Football is fun again.”
It was never more fun than it was Sunday, when Whyte’s Eskimos defeated the defending Grey Cup
champion Calgary Stampeders 45-31 in the Western Final to advance to Sunday’s big game. Whyte kicked three fi eld goals in the victory.
Over the years, there have been plenty of Grey Cup games that have come down to a single game-winning fi eld-goal attempt, but Whyte insisted he won’t dwell on that possibility, nor is he nervous should such an opportunity present itself.
What he does admit, too, however, is keeping his eye on the weather – specifi cally any wind which could wreck havoc on his kicks.
“I’ve been looking at the weather for the last two weeks in anticipation of this,” he laughed. “But I think it’s going to be OK – good football weather.”
Whyte’s family is joining him this week in Winni-peg, and will be at the game Sunday.
“To be able to share this with them is really special – I know they’re all very excited. It’s going to be real-ly fun week, and I want to go out there and win.”

Surrey schools will be well represented at the provincial high school volleyball championships next month, after securing a handful of podi-um spots at Fraser Valleys.
Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and Clayton Heights Night Riders won the senior girls quad-A and AAA Fraser Valley banners, respectively, while Earl Marriott saw its two senior sides finish on the podium as well, as the AAA senior boys and quad-A girls each finished third.
Fraser Heights Secondary rounded out the Surrey medal haul, as the north-end squad placed second at AAA senior boys championships, losing in the finals to Lang-ley’s Walnut Grove Gators.
At the girls AAAA tournament, Tweeds-muir – the top-seeded team – rolled to victo-ry with a quarter-fi-nal win over Walnut Grove and a semifinal win against South Delta.
In the championship game Friday night in South Delta, the Panthers edged Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids 3-2 (25-21, 17-25, 25-11, 19-25, 15-10) to win the
banner. Earl Marriott won
the bronze-medal game 3-0 over Terry Fox Secondary, and like their Clover-dale counterparts at Tweedsmuir, will be among the 16-team field at AAAA provin-cials, which are set to run Dec. 2-5 at Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo.
“We finished third, and we qualified for provincials, so I’ll take
it,” said longtime EMS coach Mark Cassell.
At the AAA level, Clayton Heights cap-tured the banner after a come-from-behind win over their rivals from Fraser Heights.
The Night Riders beat their north Sur-rey rivals 3-2, despite trailing 1-0 and 2-1 earlier in the final.
The game mirrored a regular-season tilt be-tween the two teams, Clayton Heights coach
Gord Houchen said. In that contest, Clayton Heights also rallied for the win after trail-ing early.
“The girls have a lot of heart, and I think that developed right from that first game (against Fraser Heights),” Houchen explained.
“They knew that they could come back from being down 1-0 or 2-0. They showed that (resilience) all year.”
The Night Riders have played in four of the last six Fraser Valley finals, winning twice.
Clayton Heights’ Liz Hicks was named tournament MVP, while teammates Ve-ronica Plonis and Josi Delasi were named to
the all-star team.Clayton Heights
will now move on to AAA provincials – as will Fraser Heights – which are set for Vernon, Dec. 3-5.
AAA boys
At the Fraser Valley AAA senior boys championships, Earl Marriott ended up third, after winning the bronze-medal match over Surrey Christian.
Th e Mariners – who had already qualifi ed for provincials earlier in the week, by virtue of a win in quarter-fi -nals – defeated Surrey Christian 3-1 Th ursday night. Tyson Smith was named to the tourna-ment all-star team.
Marriott was bumped
from gold-medal con-tention after a 3-0 loss to Fraser Heights in semifi nals earlier last week.
EMS will now prepare for provincials, which run Dec. 3-5 at the Langley Events Centre.
Th ough they’ve played the entire sea-son with a short bench – just nine players, two of which are Grade 10s – the team received a boost when senior Allan Hogg returned to the team after focusing on other sports earlier in the school year.
“He didn’t play too much – we’re work-ing to get him back up to speed – but the guys welcomed him back with open arms,” said EMS coach Dave Dooley.

Th e complacency the Valley West Hawks have battled all year fi nally cost them two points last weekend.
Th e BC Hockey Major
Midget League team dominated the South Island Royals Saturday evening in Victoria, but allowed the Royals to escape with a 5-3 win in Sunday’s rematch.
Valley West fi nished the weekend with a 12-5-1 (win-loss-tie) record, one point back of the Vancouver Giants atop the standings.
“We were fi ring on all
cylinders Saturday, and were complacent Sun-day,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “It’s tough when you play back-to-back games against the same team.
When we played (last-place) Kootenay, and (ninth-place) Th omp-son, we got away with it. Talent alone allowed us to sweep those teams, but our overconfi dence
Sunday cost us.”Valley West easily
handled the Royals Sat-urda night, leading 3-0 and 6-1 at the period breaks. Colten Gerlib, Justin De Vos, Mitch Savage, Justyn Gurney, Christian Bosa, Oliver Alcock, Carson Franklin and Luka Burzan were the goalscorers. Ilijah Colina earned three as-sists, with Burzan, Josh Bruce, Ben Evanish and Michael Farren collect-ing two each.
Sunday’s game saw the two teams play an even game through 40 min-utes, before the Royals scored two unanswered goals in the third period.
South Island opened the scoring midway through the fi rst period, then Evanish scored 34 seconds later to tie the game 1-1. Again the Royals went up by a goal early in the second period, with the Hawks replying with goals by Boza and Bobby Russell 40 seconds apart for a 3-2 lead.
South Island tied the game 3-3 before the second intermission, and pulled away in the fi nal frame.
“It’s a tough lesson to learn,” said Leung. “But at the end of the day it’s a good lesson to learn.”
Th e Hawks will get a chance to show if the lesson was learned this weekend. Th ey host the North Island Silvertips for two games at the Langley Events Centre, facing off Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
Th e Silvertips are in 10th place in the 11-team league with a 2-13-3 record.

Overconfi dence costs Hawks top spot
was important.“We were defi nitely
taking it one game at a time,” he said. “After a 2-2 start, we just want-ed to get back to Calgary (for the CIS fi nal). So each game was basically a playoff game.”
Now, there’s one game left, a nationally televised contest for a national championship.
“It’s a Vanier Cup fi nal, but I just have to do my job and not try to do more than what’s needed,” said Sadowski. “I just need to be there when plays need to be made.”
