Blueberry fi elds in the Fraser Valley are already beginning to bloom thanks to a warm winter but farm-ers are worried the early start could spell trouble for the crop.

Jason Smith, a blue-berry farmer and chair of the B.C. Blueberry Council, said buds on many blueberry plants have begun to open, putting the season about two to three weeks ahead of nor-mal, depending on the species and location.

“I haven’t seen it this early for quite a num-ber of years,” Smith

said, adding plants are now at a stage that typically wouldn’t be expected until mid-March.

Cold weather could still return to the Lower Mainland and damage the tender buds while they’re vulnerable, so farm-ers have their fi ngers crossed for continued mild weather and a healthy, early crop.

“We certainly wouldn’t want to see a cold snap with moder-ate to strong winds at this point,” Smith said. “We can have snow into March. So there’s

Both the Surrey and Delta school districts are stunned by the recent pro-vincial budget announcement that requires school districts provincewide to reduce spending on administration and related services by $29 million in the upcoming school year and a further $25 million in 2016-2017.

Longtime Surrey school Trustee Laurae McNally called the government di-rective “completely unfair,” saying the province is “penalizing” Surrey with the funding reduction as the district already has the lowest administrative costs of any of the 60 school districts in the province.

“And it has been that way for years,” McNally said. “You can’t get any lower than number one.”

Th ough Surrey, the biggest district in the province, already has an effi cient administrative budgeting record – and is forced to spend more than $4 million in funding on portable classrooms annually due to a lack of school space – trustees are concerned the province will divide the mandated cuts equally among the B.C. districts.

“Our fear is they will do this on a formula-basis which is totally unfair,” said McNally.

Surrey presently has more than 300 portables and must not only pay for the buildings, but for their depreciation, upkeep, utilities servicing and cleaning. Because the city is growing far more quickly than schools are being built or expanded, temporary portable classrooms cost Surrey more than any other

In Canada, spies are not just working for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

Surgeons are using SPY imaging tech-nology for breast cancer patients facing reconstructive surgery.

Th e relatively new system is showing such positive signs of success that the Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation is actively fundraising for it and has almost achieved its target.

“Th e imaging device costs $350,000 and we only need another $15,500 of the goal,” says foundation president and CEO Jane Adams. “I just know there is a local hero

out there.”She explains the tech-

nology provides instant images of the breast tissue during surgery.

“Th ese (the images) can show potential healing problems, enabling the surgeon to take immediate steps to prevent post-sur-gery complications,” says Adams.

Every month, 650 patients, who are mostly women, visit the Breast Health Clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre in Sur-rey. Th e clinic dramatically speeds up the process for diagnosing suspicious masses which show up in routine mammographies.

“At the Jim Pattison

Centre, everything is done on the same day,” said Adams.

Almost half from that group will end up having mastectomies which are often followed by recon-structive surgery.

“We do more recon-structive surgery than any other centre in the province,” Adams says.

Because the SPY imag-ing system allows sur-geons to see actual blood fl ow between the patient’s abdominal fl ap and breast skin fl aps, it improves the success rate of the reconstructive surgery, as mastectomy fl ap necrosis is far less likely to happen. Necrosis occurs when the skin left behind after

surgery ends up dying because it does not receive adequate blood fl ow.

According to Adams, the SPY technology can reduce breast surgical reconstruction failure rates to less than two per cent, which is 11 per cent lower than the Fraser Health Authority average and 16 per cent lower than the provincial average.

Th e SPY imaging system involves sur-geons injecting a safe fl uorescent dye into the body at the start of reconstructive surgery.

A laser within the SPY system follows the dye, sending the surgeon high-quality images of blood fl ow within vessels, tissue and organs. Th e images allow surgeons to ensure there is a healthy blood fl ow cir-culating to the breast mound so they can precisely reattach blood vessels as well as the breast skin fl aps.

“It’s (the technology) so dramatic in what it can do for patients,” says Adams.

In some parts of the world, shoeless children are not allowed to attend school.

Th at’s why insurance bro-kers and entrepreneurs Kelly Strongitharm and Desiree Dupuis decided to add a second almost full-time job to their already busy schedules and establish Ruben’s Shoes.

Named after a young boy living in the Dominican Republic,

Ruben’s Shoes is a charitable drive that was started in 2013 by Strongitharm, who was sponsor-ing Ruben through World Vision Canada. To date, the campaign has shipped 24,000 pairs of shoes to the Dominican Repub-lic, and this summer a shipment of 10,000 pairs is scheduled for Ebola-ravaged Sierra Leone.

Dupuis and Strongitharm will be sharing their female-driven success story at the inaugural conference of SheTalks this week-

end in Surrey.Dupuis, who

acknowledges males are still more prevalent in the entrepre-neurial world than females, says the one fact she hopes listeners will take away from her Ruben’s Shoes presenta-tion is confi -dence.

“I really hope

women feel inspired and em-powered to follow what’s in their hearts,” she says.

To be held March 7, one day be-fore International Women’s Day, at Chandos Pattison Auditorium in North Surrey, SheTalks brings together 15 female speakers with backgrounds ranging from life coach to city councillor.

Other speakers include con-ference founder Natasha Raey, author Megan Williams, You Glow Girl founder Diane Taylor, Sole Girls head coach Ashley Wiles, Monika Hibbs, Amplify Governance co-founder Bethany

Borody, political activist Jodie Emery, blogger Jamie Dunlop Khau, Ladies Who Lunch founder Maria Kritikos, former Surrey city councillor Barinder Rasode, Broadbent Institute director Mira Oreck, coach Tetyana Golota, Dominion Lending Centres CEO Diana Zitko, Lunapads co-found-er Madeleine Shaw, fi tness mod-el/nurse Harpreet Pandher and lawyer Gurpreet Gill.

Th eir eight-minute talks will cover a variety of life and career experiences, educational back-grounds and world views.

“I’ve always been amazed by all

the things women do,” said Raey, who came up with the all-female conference concept last spring.

“I never considered myself a feminist, but I guess lately, I’ve realized I am. So I wanted to create an opportunity for women to share their stories, especially some women who have never shared their stories before.”

Conference tickets are $40 (or $25 for students). All proceeds will go toward the SheTalks schol-arship created in conjunction with Simon Fraser University.

Man found dead in North Surrey vehicle

KEVIN DIAKIW

Homicide investigators have now taken over the

investigation of a body found in a vehicle in North Surrey.

On Friday (Feb. 27), at 9:50 a.m., Surrey RCMP received a call from emer-gency responders about an unresponsive person in a vehicle in the 9500-block

of 139 Street. When police arrived,

they found a man dead in a white Ford SUV.

Th e cause of death and the identity of the deceased were not made public as of Monday morning.

Early Friday afternoon,

the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took over the investigation.

It’s the second homicide investigation in Surrey this year.

Th e fi rst involved the suspicious death of a three-year-old girl on Feb. 11.

Th e parents say the tot slipped off a plastic tub she was using to reach the sink and smashed her head on the fl oor.

IHIT is still investigating that fi le and is still classify-ing it as a suspicious death.

Anyone who has infor-

mation about the most recent death is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT(4448) or email [email protected]

B.C. school district.Th e Surrey School District

wrote Education Minister Peter Fassbender about the concerns but has yet to receive a response.

Fassbender, however, did issue a public statement Th ursday about the province’s funding decision.

“We have to do this (challenge school boards to fi nd administra-tive savings) because, while we’re putting more into the system, in spite of declining student enrol-ment, school districts are spend-ing more money on administra-tion than ever before,” he wrote. “Without school districts fi nding effi ciencies administrative costs would rise to almost seven per cent of their budgets by 2019.

“Th ese costs can come down and should come down,” he added “All we’re asking school districts to do is to fi nd adminis-

trative savings to refl ect the per-centage they were spending 10 years ago – about six per cent.”

Delta school district chairper-son Laura Dixon also said the announcement was disappointing and came as a complete surprise.

“We are at a bit of a loss where we would go to fi nd these effi ciencies,” Dixon said.

Dixon noted Delta is second only to Surrey in having the leanest adminis-trative costs in the province because of reductions made in the past that included cutting student bus services and closing two schools due to declining enrolment.

“It’s not that we don’t under-stand fi scal responsibility. We live it every day,” said Dixon.

Th e British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA) re-ported that although the provin-cial education budget overall will be increased over the next three

years, the majority of the additional funds have been allocated to the cost of new teacher and support staff collec-tive agreements.

District boards are attending meetings over the next couple of weeks to discuss how the spending reduction will be divided among districts.

Th e province requires all B.C. school districts to submit balanced budgets by June 30. Districts are supposed to receive their budget allo-cations from government for the upcoming school year this month.

defi nitely a risk.”Chilliwack-area blueberry farms appear to be

a bit ahead of Abbotsford ones, he said, while plants in the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge area appear furthest behind.

Another question mark is whether bees will be active enough to pollinate the crop during the critical three to four days when blueberry fl owers are open.

“Th ose bees don’t fl y unless it’s 15 or 16

degrees out,” Smith said. “And if there’s strong winds they’re not going to want to fl y too far from the hive either.”

Many growers rent honeybee hives because blueberries require insect pollination.

He noted a lot can change through the season.Last year a mild spring had growers prepar-

ing to harvest two weeks early but then cooler weather in May and June pushed it back to normal.

Th e Lower Mainland blueberry industry produced 68 million kilograms of fruit last year from 800 farms covering 11,000 hectares.

Yes campaigners have accused the No side in the transit referendum of misleading the pub-lic into believing they can force reforms to TransLink by rejecting the proposed regional sales tax.

Unifor union leader Gavin McGarrigle said Wednesday No campaigners are delib-erately derailing the debate from what is ac-tually on the ballot – a 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund a wide swath of transit improvements that he called vital to the region’s future.

He said it will be a “dangerous step backwards” if voters are convinced to vote No and aid an anti-tax agenda that threatens to starve the transit system and other pub-lic services.

McGarrigle urged voters not to “give in to a future where cyni-cism descends over the region like a stifl ing blanket, while conges-tion increasingly costs us all more time, more money and more ex-pensive choices down the road.”

Th e co-chair of the Better Transit Coali-tion was fl anked by mayors from Vancou-ver and Richmond at the Canada Line’s Brighouse station for the release of a study estimating the eco-nomic benefi ts from the proposed transit and transportation upgrades.

But most media questions focused on the Yes campaign’s ebbing support after a poll the previous week showed the No side far ahead.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said people are cynical because they don’t yet have all the informa-tion about the plan and added he’s opti-mistic that will change.

“We’ve seen a knee-jerk response initially that refl ects every-one’s concerns around taxes,” Robertson said. “When people have the ballot in their hands they’ll make the right choice for our region.”

Th e study by InterV-istas estimated the mayors’ plan would add $450 million per year to the regional economy through the

fi rst 10 years and the annual benefi t would hit $1.6 billion a year by 2045.

Th e growth projec-tions come from esti-mated direct and indi-rect jobs to build and operate the proposed transportation im-provements, as well as the economic produc-tivity gains that would fl ow from congestion relief for residents and businesses.

It estimates the upgrades would create 7,000 new jobs by 2020 and 12,000 jobs by 2045 at wages aver-aging $85,000 a year.

McGarrigle said the improvements should win over workers, who know the costs of con-gestion in money and time away from family.

“Workers know what its like to be late for work when the bus is full and the next bus isn’t for an hour,” he said.

“Or when they can’t even get home eas-ily after a long shift without spending more precious money as a result of yet more service cutbacks.”

No campaign head Jordan Bateman criticized the study as

one that’s diffi cult to verify and that fails to compare the economic eff ect of making dif-ferent uses of the $7.5 billion in expected funding.

“If you invest that much in health care or education or tax cuts or anything there’s going to be economic spinoff s,” Bateman said. “It’s a typical government ploy to pretend $7.5 billion comes out of thin air.”

He also predicted po-litical leaders of every stripe will stampede to reform TransLink on the fi rst day after a No

decision.If anyone is guilty of

fomenting public cyni-cism, Bateman said, it’s the mayors by avoiding debate on problems with TransLink.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said mayors have “con-stantly” pressed the province for gover-nance changes to make TransLink more demo-cratically accountable.

“Th e situation we have is unworkable. I am hopeful that mes-sage has now resonat-ed with the provincial government.”

Brodie said he was

“dumbfounded” by Premier Christy Clark’s latest comments that TransLink belongs to the mayors when it’s governed by provincial legislation and mayors have very limited authority.

Wednesday’s an-nouncement took place on the busy Canada Line, where a new mixed use develop-ment under construc-tion served as a back-drop to the expected economic growth.

“Th is will be the story right across the region as we improve the entire system,” Brodie said.

He said the Canada Line has helped trans-form Richmond and benefi ts commuters across Metro Vancou-ver.

Th e rapid transit line linking Vancouver, Richmond and YVR carries 120,000 people a day – 20,000 more than projected by this point.

As the transit referendum approaches, the yes side will go out of its way to convince the people of the concerned area to vote yes. A lot of money will be spent on advertisements by the provincial government, municipalities and other organizations to pull through the yes campaign.

According to reports the BC government is poised to spend up to four million dollars and the City of Surrey between two and three hundred thousands dollars – the list goes on and on.

Directly or indirectly that sum will be paid by the tax payers at the end of the day.

Is it not waste of money? Yes it is. Plenty of waste and mismanagement of money is taking place all over at the diff erent levels of govern-ments. Before proposing a half percentage point tax hike, the politicians should have given a serious thought to plug the massive holes of waste and mismanagement.

We are already taxed to death with federal tax,

provincial tax, property tax, provincial sales tax, goods and services tax, transit levy, and every time we fi ll up at the pump a major por-tion on every litre we pay is tax. Adding a half percent over and above the taxes we are already paying is outright wrong.

As suggested, $250 million generated an-nually will be given to an organization called TransLink which already has a real terrible record of managing money.

It has wasted and mismanaged millions and millions of dollars in the past. Rather, all the municipalities and TransLink should be determined to make $250 millions from the waste and mismanagement already taking place everywhere all year round.

For example, just recently TransLink demoted CEO Ian Jarvis and brought in Doug Allen as an interim CEO; a huge waste and misman-agement is taking place right under our noses when both of them will be on the payroll simul-taneously while doing the same job.

Unfortunately, provincial politicians and the regional mayors who make such decisions to raise taxes are so disoriented, self-centred and aimless that they have a hard time to focus on the need to stop the waste and mismanage-ment. All they are focusing on is the further tax hikes and their own pay increments.

In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. Th e B.C. gov-ernment is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

Th ere are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some eff ort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as default-ed and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace

period for beginning to repay student loans expires, fi nding those who ar-en’t paying becomes a costly eff ort.

Historically, governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days? Th e subject was discussed briefl y in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the govern-ment that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerg-es from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accu-sation that he is indiff erent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our sys-

tem,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 stu-dents who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for fi nancial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more diffi cult to avoid paying. Th e province has long used the withhold-ing of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fi nes, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

Th is student debt collection move follows eff orts to match up post-sec-ondary funding to areas of em-

ployment demand. In an era where misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from govern-ments across North America. Th e baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign work-ers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this.

Th ere was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Re: Port Mann bridge defi cit climbs (Th e Leader, Feb. 24).

Th at the creation of a new bridge with more lanes has resulted in less traffi c, though ironic, is a good thing. Tolling the old struc-ture, of course, would have achieved the same end.

Th at “the popularity of the new express bus service over the bridge” is cited by government as one of the reasons is fantastic.

Th at government will do its best to increase traffi c (“to attract more regular users to the bridge”) to pay for its debt, though, is not so wholesome.

B.C. should act quickly to enable po-lice to wear body-mounted cameras.

Th at’s the unanimous recommenda-tion of an all-party legislative commit-tee that urges the province’s justice ministry to give a tentative green light

and begin consultations.Federal and provincial privacy com-

missioners have urged police forces to carefully consider how the technology may infringe on the privacy of the public.

Body-worn cameras have been used by police in some Canadian cities, includ-

ing Vancouver when the VPD cleared a Downtown Eastside homeless camp last October, and the recommendation predicts greater use would be a benefi t to both law enforcement and the public.

Civil libertarians question what uses video footage might be put to and how long it can be kept.

Police may get body cameras

Surrey RCMP is asking for public help in finding a man with a distinguishing tattoo on his neck.

Erin Norman, 21, is wanted on four out-standing warrants, including two breach-es of recognizance and for possession of stolen property and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.

All four warrants stem from 2014 investigations.

Norman is de-scribed as an aboriginal male, 5’10”, 170 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes.

His last known address was in Surrey. He has a tattoo of the word “MOB” on the right side of his neck.

Police are interested in any infor-mation related to the Surrey man’s where-abouts.

Mounties believe he represents a threat to the safety of the public and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Members of the public are asked not to approach him, but to call 911 if they see him.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime

Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca

TRACY HOLMES

Surrey council has thrown its support behind eff orts to slow the speed of freight trains travelling along the Crescent Beach waterfront.

Council voted unanimously Monday to endorse a mo-tion by Coun. Judy Villeneuve and Mayor Linda Hepner calling for an extension of the restricted-speed

zone that applies to the Nicomekl swing bridge.

If supported by rail-way owner BNSF and Transport Canada, it would reduce speeds along the stretch of track that runs south from the bridge to the 24 Avenue stairs, to 10 miles per hour from 30.

Villeneuve described the motion as “a great tool for people to use as we advocate for change.

“It gives us one more tool to say we’re com-mitted as a council and a community to working on this issue,” she said.

She said the mo-tion will be sent to BNSF and Transport Canada.

Crescent Beach

Property Owners’ Association president Erik Seiz described the city’s stand on the issue as “quite fantas-tic.”

It strengthens ongo-ing eff orts to improve safety along the rail line, he said. At the same time, he ac-knowledged the city’s powers over the issue are limited.

“Defi nitely, it does not mean that anything will change because it’s a federal thing. (But) I think it’s a very big step,” Seiz said.

“If they’re willing to get behind it, then it can move up to the next level.”

Th e motion cites recent incidents of freight trains decou-pling on the “south

Crescent Beach curve” that have resulted in blocked access to and from the community. In one incident, access was blocked for four hours, it states.

It also notes a four-fold increase in freight traffi c along the rail line since 2007.

Th e push for speed reduction is to help ensure safety until the ultimate goal of relocating the rail line is achieved, said Villeneuve, who is a Crescent Beach resi-dent herself.

“We’ve made a commitment to do everything we can,” she said.

BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas said the request would be reviewed. He assured that safety is the com-pany’s top priority.

“We have found that our set speeds through the corridor are safe and effi cient for the movement of all commodities han-dled,” he said.

“Our safe operat-ing record speaks for itself.”

Seiz, however, said it’s only a matter of time before an incident with tragic consequences occurs.

“If you look at the statistics, it’s obvious what should be hap-pening,” he said.

“It becomes negli-gent to pretend this isn’t an issue.”

He noted that reducing the speed limit along the South Surrey waterfront would only add three minutes to the time it takes a freight train to travel through the area, but it would increase safety signifi -cantly.

How you can gain with ICBC paying more

G R E G O R Y A . S M I T H , L A W Y E R

ICBC awards went up in 2014. But only a handful of people shared in the increase. Over 100 people in 2014 obtained Supreme Court Awards of damages for injuries to their neck or back. On average each car accident victim was awarded over $220,000. This compares to an average of about $135,000 in 2013, which is an increase of about 50%!By far the biggest difference between the two years is the amount awarded by Judges for something call loss of capacity to earn income. In 2013 the average award for loss of capacity was less than $60,000 compared to well over $100,000 in 2014. Part of the increase is probably just circumstances. A permanent injury to a high income earner results in a bigger loss than the same injury to somebody with a more modest loss. A look at the awards in 2014 shows a number of victims with higher incomes.But in many of the Judgments the increase awards demonstrates a growing awareness of how injuries can limit any of us in subtle ways which can add up to a big loss over time. The key is taking the time to gather up the little details and having the right expert demonstrate how all the little differences will mean something more in the future. Greg Smith is a personal injury with 30 years of experience helping victims of car accidents.

against Sophie Mehta of Ontario, Garceau lost the fi rst game 8-11, but swept the next three by scores of 12-10, 11-9, 12-10 to eliminate the nation’s top-ranked player.

Garceau, a member of the Ivy League’s Cornell Big Red squash team, also won a silver medal as a member of Team BC in team competition. With Garceau winning fi ve of seven matches, Team BC went 5-0 in pool play, defeated Manitoba 3-1 in a

semifi nal match, then lost 4-0 to Ontario in the gold medal match.

Garceau, a graduate of Ecole Gabriel-Roy, has been at Cornell in Ithica, New York since August. In Prince George, she earned her two medals with her father in the stands.

NICK GREENIZAN

Th e Surrey Eagles’ season ended on the weekend in the same way it started back in September – with a loss.

Th e beleaguered BC Hockey League club wrapped up one of the toughest seasons in franchise history with a 6-2 road loss to the West Kelowna Warriors Saturday, just a few days after the Birds dropped a 5-2 decision to the Merritt Centennials in Merritt.

Th e Eagles fi nished the season with a record of 9-45-1-3 (win-loss-tied-overtime loss).

Saturday’s loss did not begin or end well for Surrey, as the hometown Warriors opened the scoring nine minutes into the game, and tacked on two more goals before the second intermission to take a commanding 3-0 lead into the fi nal frame.

Th en, 2:35 in the third period, Brayden Gelsinger made it 4-0 for Kelowna with a power-play marker.

Surrey’s Andy Chugg and Cole Plotnikoff scored less than three minutes apart midway through the third period to bring the defi cit to just two goals, but it was as close as the

visitors would get. Jason Cotton and Tanner Campbell scored

1:16 apart in the fi nal fi ve minutes to put the game out of reach.

On Wednesday, Daniel Davidson who was tagged with the loss between the pipes for Surrey, though the rookie netminder fi nished with 31 saves.

As was the case Saturday, the Eagles fell behind by a couple goals early against the Centennials, too – Nick Fidanza and Cole Chorney scored for Merritt by the 12-minute mark of the fi rst period.

Surrey wasted little time evening the score, however, as Darius Davidson and Lucas Stratford each scored in the fi nal 2:36 of the

fi rst period. In the second, Merritt’s Rhett Wilcox re-

stored the Cents’ lead with a power-play tally, and the home side added two more goals in the third to earn the win.

Th ough the season was a tough one for members of the Eagles, some – especially graduating veterans – were sad to see the year, and their junior-hockey careers, come to an end.

“And just like that it’s over,” captain Ben Vikich wrote on Twitter Saturday night. “Best (four) years of my life, wouldn’t have wanted to end it with any other group of guys… thanks for everyone who made it memorable.”

After winning a pair of medals at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, Surrey’s Michele Garceau was selected as the fl ag bearer for Team BC for Sunday’s closing cere-monies.

Garceau won a gold medal in female squash, and added a silver medal in team competition, and was named fl ag bearer Saturday night.

“I am very happy and honoured to represent Team BC as the fl ag bearer,” said Garceau. “Th is has been the most ideal set up for squash at the Games with the glass courts and crowds out supporting us. It is a wonderful way to end a great Games.”

After losing the fi rst game, Garceau won three in a row to clinch the gold medal match 3-1 in the knockout singles tournament.

Garceau, 18, defeated Madlen Shea O’Connor of Ontario 9-11, 11-8, 11-8, 11-4 in Wednesday night’s fi nal.

“I came into the competition seeded fourth so in my mind, just keeping my seeding would have been a great result,” said Garceau. “To win the gold, I’m just ecstatic. I don’t know what to think.”

Th e B.C. junior provincial cham-pion from Surrey won a fi rst round match in straight games, allow-ing her opponent just 12 points in the three matches. She then edged Quincy Beck of Prince Edward Island 3-2 in the quarterfi nal, Garceau’s most diffi cult match of the competition. She won the fi rst two sets,

then lost two in a row, before pre-vailing 11-3, 11-8, 6-11, 8-11, 11-5.

“I knew I had to wait out the points,” she said of the fi fth game. “My plan was to play aggressively but in a way that I made sure I didn’t make mistakes. I was very patient and stayed focused and waited for my opponent to make mistakes.”

After making school history just six days earlier, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers didn’t let up at the Fraser Valley Senior 4A Boys high school basketball tourna-ment, placing a very impressive second in the largest zone in the province.

Th e Panthers, after clinching a berth at the B.C. tournament for the fi rst time since 1953 earlier in the week, defeated the Semiahmoo Totems 96-79 in an all-Surrey semifi nal game Friday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Saturday evening, they gave the eventual champion Yale Lions a test before falling 88-78.

“It was a very positive game,” said Panthers head coach Raj Bagry after Saturday’s game. “Th is is big, and the boys played hard. Yale is a very good team, very well-coached, great kids on the fl oor.

“But we have a bigger game coming up in a couple of weeks.”

Th e Panthers trailed by 10 points at the half, and were down by 14 late in the third quarter before a 13-point run had them to within one with roughly eight minutes to play. Th e Lions regrouped, went 11-for-15 from the foul line in the fourth quarter, and held on to their lead.

Six-foot-fi ve forward Iqwinder Gill with 14 points, guard Brett Norris with 17, and forward Justin Mason with 16 paced the Pan-thers off ense.

Norris earned a second-team all-star selection, while Gill and Mason were fi rst-team

choices. All three Grade 12 players earned praise from Bagry for their leadership and play during the tourna-ment.

Lord Tweedsmuir,

now ranked 10th in the province, among 4A teams, will await the draw for the 16-team B.C. championship tournament March 11-14, also at the Langley

Events Centre.“Hopefully, we don’t

get a shaky draw to start,” Bagry said with a laugh. “But we should have a good draw. After the fi rst round, it’s

going to be a war. Any way you look at

it, you have to beat the best. It’s going to be tough, so we have to play tough.”

Th e Semiahmoo Totems will also be in Langley for the B.C. championships after they sputtered to a fourth place fi nish at the Fraser Valley tour-nament.

After putting up more than 100 points in two victories early in the tournament to secure their fi rst B.C. champi-onship appearance in 38 years, Semiahmoo lost twice and fi nished fourth in the Fraser Valley.

After their semi-fi nal loss to Lord Tweedsmuir, they were drubbed 103-70 by the Terry Fox Ravens on Saturday.

“It’s a little bit of complacency, a little bit of people thinking we’re going to the BC’s so we don’t have to compete as much anymore,” shrugged Totems head coach Ed Lefurgy. “I’m really worried about it, so we need to address that. We need to get back playing loose and play-

ing for fun, cheering on our teammates.”

It was the second half that did Semiahmoo in against the Ravens. Th e South Surrey school led 24-23 after one quarter and trailed just 44-37 at the half.

But Terry Fox ham-mered the Totems for 33 points in the third quarter, draining nine three-point shots for a 24-point cushion with 10 minutes to play.

Top scorers for Semiahmoo includ-ed fi rst-team all-star Patrick Dujmovic with18 points, and second-team all-star Brian Spanier and Elias Ellison with 14 apiece.

Aside from the play of his side Saturday, a fourth place fi nish won’t help the Totems when the draw is an-nounced for the provin-cial tournament.

“We’re not gonna have the best draw so we have to get back to practice and change our attitude a little bit,” said Lefurgy. “We got to get back to what made us successful, and we haven’t done any of the things that made us successful for the last two games.”
