Stephen Jenkin’s family say they never wanted him to have a licence

Surrey courthouse – nearly two months after being found guilty of causing a drunken crash that killed a young woman in 2008 – Stephen Jenkins insisted he was not responsible for the death.

Later in the afternoon on Friday, Judge Paul Jenkins Dohm sentenced Jenkins to three years in a federal prison.

In December, Dohm found Jenkins, 42, guilty of impaired driving causing death, impaired driving Usak causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm in the collision that killed 23-year-old Van-

Loss of ‘sacred sport’ from Games stuns local wrestlers IOC votes to remove wrestling from the 2020 Summer Olympic Games

by Rick Kupchuk THE LIKELIHOOD of their sport no longer being part of the Summer

Olympic Games leaves one big question hanging in the local wrestling community.

Why? “I think it’s politics, it has to be,” said Mark McRae, a former high school wrestler and a current coach with Guildford Park Secondary.

“I don’t think anyone with a straight face can tell you (wrestling) shouldn’t be in the Olympics. It is one of the original sports in the

Olympic movement, it’s a sacred sport.”

The executive committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stunned the sports world earlier this month, voting to omit wrestling from the list of sports to be part of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. The move must still be ratified by the IOC membership, but many see that as a foregone conclusion.

Wrestling has been a part of the modern Olympics since 1904, and was one of the original sports in the ancient Olympic Games in Greece going back to 700 BC. See WRESTLER / Page 3

Jenkins: Lifetime driving ban Carlene Marshall and her son Devin, 20, hold a photo of Marshall’s daughter Lauren, who died last year. The family had their laptop compters stolen last week, along with all the family photos of Lauren.

“I’m innocent,” Jenkins said before his sentencing hearing Friday morning. “I have to go to prison for someone else screwing up? She (Usak) is the one who caused the accident, not me. Now I’m paying for it.”

Crown prosecutor Susanne Elliott had requested a sentence of between four and five years, while defence lawyer Marvin Stern asked for two to three years in prison. Elliott also asked for and received a lifetime driving prohibition, which Jenkins told his lawyer not to dispute.

In his December verdict, Dohm said both Jenkins and Usak were driving while impaired, but that it was Jenkins who crossed the double yellow line and crashed into Usak’s Honda with his van near 144 Street and 108 Avenue on July 19, 2008.

Diana Usak, Vanessa’s mom, read a victim impact statement in court, which talked about her “polite and pretty” daughter, who worked as a longshoreman and had an older sister and younger brother.

“She was the middle child, the glue of the family,” said Diana, adding Vanessa loved to dance and had a beautiful singing voice.

She said nothing short of life in prison would be a just sentence for Jenkins.

“It would help if I thought he was sorry,” Diana said, with dozens of supporters wearing pink and carrying pink roses surrounding her.

The court heard Jenkins was the passenger in a prior crash in 1988 that killed two friends and left him with a brain injury that caused ongoing intellectual and behavioural problems.

After sentencing, his sister Tracey Jenkins said his brain damage is severe and it’s not clear if her brother even understands what has happened. Through tears, with their sobbing mom by her side, she said the family never wanted Stephen behind the wheel after the life-changing accident in the ’80s.

“He should have never been given a driver’s licence,” said Tracey, adding they were powerless to stop one from being issued.

Wrestler: ‘Now I don’t want to work out anymore’ From Page 1

Mark McRae

Athletes, officials and administrators are still wondering why a sport that was represented by 40 countries at last summer’s Olympics in London is now being excluded.

“I was shocked, speechless,” said Jaskarn Ranu, a Grade 12 wrestler from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. “I woke up one day and went downstairs, and the first thing my mom told me was wrestling is out of the Olympics.

“They shouldn’t do that. Wrestling was where the Olympics started. Taking out wrestling is like taking out the 100-metre sprint.”

Daniel Igali, a Surrey resident when he won the gold medal for wrestling at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Australia, was

also critical of the IOC executive committee’s decision.

“For me, the question is not why wrestling should not be axed from the 2020 Olympic roster,” he said in a statement. “Rather, it should be about how many other sports in the world are as popular, have the same reach in virtually every nation, and are as accessible as wrestling.”

What is certain is that its exclusion will threaten the sport domestically, both in terms of participation and funding.

“The Own the Podium program funds Olympic sports, and that money comes from the government,” said McRae. “Now you won’t even have it as a (Olympic) sport, so the money will dry up.

“And the only time any of our athletes get any recognition is at the Olympics.”

McRae said the “Olympic dream” is what inspires many wrestlers to train for competition in what is very much an amateur sport at all levels.

Ranu was questioning his future in the sport just prior to Thursday’s Slamfest tournament at Guildford Park Secondary, where he won the gold medal in the 74-kilogram class.

“I can name you 25 other sports that could be taken out,” he said. “People like me are dreaming about 2020. Now, I don’t want to work out anymore, I don’t want to train. In my family, wrestling is a tradition. But knowing it’s not going to be there in 2020, you don’t see any point.

“You have the world championships, but the Olympics are the Olympics. And without 2020, I don’t see the point anymore.”

Stories provided by the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association

Heroes and adventure tHis summer at movies under tHe stars When the sun peaks out from behind the clouds, we start dreaming about sunny days and fun activities we can do outside with our family and friends.

One favourite summer activity is the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association’s Movies Under the Stars presented

by Prospera Credit Union. Every August, a large inflatable screen is brought in and for four evenings, Holland Park is transformed into a

“walk-in” outdoor theatre.

“At Christmas time, I had someone approach me asking what movies we were going to show this summer and just this week the topic has come up several times,” laughed Bonnie Burnside, Manager of Special Events for the DSBIA. Each summer, a theme is chosen and the movies revolve around that theme. Previous themes have been “Musicals”, “Books that have been turned into Movies” and “It’s an Animated World”.

“Every week, we survey people as they Home • Condo wait for the movie to Tenant • Travel • Auto start. We always ask what movie would they All forms of like us to show next Business Insurance summer. The top movie We are proudly request last year was Àuent in English, “Brave” so we hope to Hindi & Punjabi show that movie this year,” says Burnside.

“Our theme this Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies J g year is “Heroes and 140 -10362 King George Blvd, Surrey 604-584-4456 surrey@jmins.com Adventure”.”

Coverage You Can Count On

Animated films are generally the largest draw but the key is to have movies that are fun, interesting and appropriate for the whole family.

“We have a lot of children under the age of 12 so familyfriendly films are key.

We have also found that movies should be 100 minutes or less. The movie can’t start until it is dark enough so on a bright sunny day, especially early in August, that could be as late as 9:10pm which makes it a very late night for the little ones,” explained Burnside. “There are often restrictions put on by the film companies so we can’t always show movies that people want.”

The DSBIA is requesting your help to determine which movies should be shown this August. Do you have a favourite, family-friendly movie that fits into the “Heroes and Adventure” theme? You can let them know by sending an email to info@downtownsurreybia.com.

Surrey gets new high school for Clayton Province announces construction in fast-growing area

by Kevin Diakiw Surrey will soon be

home to another high school, which will take the pressure off over-crowded Clayton Heights Secondary.

The province announced Friday it was committing $10.5 million toward a $16.7-million school in north Clayton.

The Surrey School District is funding the remainder.

The province has secured an 18-acre property at 73 Avenue and 184 Street for the school, which is expected to have the capacity for up to 1,200 students.

It will help take some of the pressure off Clayton Heights Secondary (located at 7003 188 St.), which is currently 300 students over capacity.

Karishma Ram, 15,

Surrey Board of education Chairperson Shawn wilson stands at the site (at 73 Avenue and 184 Street) where a new high school will be built. was delighted with the news, even though she will have graduated by the time the new school is built.

“I’ve been at Clayton Heights (Secondary) for twoand-a-half years now,

and have watched it grow,” Ram told an audience gathered for the announcement in the school’s library Friday. “To find out we’re getting a new school in the area is very exciting.”

Along with the coming high school, the province and district have secured three other sites in Surrey for additional schools at a cost of $35.9 million.

School Board Chair Shawn Wilson said it’s great news that means a great deal to the residents of Surrey.

Wilson later said there are other areas that will need high schools to address overcapacity, including Grandview, which would take pressure off Earl Marriott Secondary, which is currently 600 students over its limit, and Lord Tweedsmuir, which is 500 students over capacity.

He said he looked forward to having the minister of education back soon for more announcements.

CURRENCY

The penny is out

RAESIDE

L

ast Monday was the end for the penny.

That’s when the Royal Canadian Mint stopped shipping the humble copper-coloured coin to businesses and banks.

Until then, the mint was essentially cleaning out its stockpile, as it hasn’t manufactured new pennies since last May. Of course it will likely take years for the penny to disappear from circulation altogether, given the millions squirreled away in drawers and tin cans, savings for a rainy day’s small indulgences.

The mint says eliminating the penny will save $11 million a year.

But as with most things touched by government or its agencies, what one hand giveth, the other taketh away.

Businesses large and small will have to bear the cost of adjusting their pricing labels and cash registers to reflect the new penniless reality by rounding cash transactions up or down to the nearest nickel. For chains with retail outlets across the country, that could run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. For a momand-pop corner store, the expense of getting a technician to reprogram their cash register will likely rank pretty low on their priority list.

Some retailers say they’ll round up, others will round down.

Some will leave it to the discretion of their cashiers.

For consumers standing in the checkout line, cash in hand, it’s likely to be a confusing time. A recent poll by Home Depot Canada found 88 per cent of them don’t know the penny is disappearing and 41 per cent have no idea how retailers are going to make pricing adjustments.

Oh, and don’t get too used to rounding transactions to the nearest nickel.

One MP says he plans to introduce a private motion to eliminate it next, followed by the quarter, to re-jig Canada’s currency to multiples of 10.

ENERGY

hether Christy Clark’s government survives the May election or not, the natural gas “Prosperity Fund” idea floated in last week’s throne speech is a useful one.

B.C. is poised to join Alberta in the upper rank of energy producing jurisdictions, with an expanding network of natural gas collection, refining and processing into liquid (LNG) for export. Clark’s pre-election throne speech proposed a resource fund similar to Alberta’s Heritage Fund that would be reserved for debt reduction and major projects, rather than spent on programs, which tends to happen under the political pressure of four-year election cycles.

Opposition politicians and media commentators have dismissed this as a pre-election stunt. They note that the LNG industry in B.C. doesn’t exist yet, and may never produce the hundreds of billions of dollars projected over the next 30 years.

ority for new global investment in LNG? For one thing, we’re a stable democratic country with a mature industry and competent regulation.

Secondly, the shipping advantage of the Kitimat and Prince Rupert ports to the Pacific Rim has finally been recognized internationally, as coal, forest products, grain and container traffic has climbed in recent years.

B.C. has another advantage that appears to be increasingly important. The shale gas deposits are deep, under a kilometre or more of solid rock, and most are in remote, sparsely inhabited locations.

That adds cost to the pipeline system, but it has a benefit. At the beginning of the year I predicted that the international protest movement that dishonestly targets Alberta oil would soon turn to demonizing natural gas.

That pseudo-scientific attack has begun, right here in B.C. I’ll have more on that in a subsequent column.

New HOV ramps cut gridlock

Re: “No discount due to design

flaw,” (Letters, The Leader, Feb. 12).

Jatinder Sandhu is correct that HOV drivers must use 156 Street in order to be in the HOV lane and receive the HOV discount when they pass under the toll gantry.

What I’d like to point out is these new dedicated HOV ramps are designed to complement the larger improvements of the 152 Street Interchange.

In fact, I expect many HOV drivers will prefer using the new 156 Street ramps over the traditional entrance and exit at 152 Street.

The 156 Street Interchange is a brand new set of on- and off-ramps built to provide fast, efficient and convenient access to the Highway 1 HOV lane for HOV vehicles.

Traditionally, 152 Street has been one of the busiest interchanges on the Port Mann/Highway 1 corridor, and giving HOV vehicles their own, dedicated ramps at 156 Street makes Highway 1 access from Surrey more efficient.

These new HOV ramps are less than a minute away from 152 Street, and entering and exiting via 156 Street shouldn’t add any additional travel time for most drivers.

Having HOV traffic use these new ramps will also take some pressure off the 152 Street Interchange, which has been one of the primary causes of the traffic bottleneck at the east end of the Port Mann Bridge. The new wider bridge, a new 152 Street interchange and HOV access via 156 Street are all working together to clear what was once the worst traffic bottleneck in British Columbia.

The new HOV and transit ramps at 156 Street are just one of the many HOV and transit investments included in the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project.

HOV and transit ramps at 202 Street in Langley, transit ramps at Government Street in Burnaby, and HOV on and offramps at Grandview Highway in Vancouver give commuters access to 30 new HOV lane kilometres that make up Highway 1’s new fast, efficient and timesaving network for HOV drivers and transit users.

Students lobby for rhinos

I am a student at Woodward Hill

Elementary and our class is raising awareness about the extinction of rhinos.

Rhinos are being extinct because of poachers.

Poachers try to get their horns for medicine and money. The cost of one rhino horn is about $1 million.

Did you know that there are only fewer than 50 Javan rhinos in the world?

The Vietnamese Javan rhinos are already extinct. There are fewer than 200 Sumatran rhinos. The Borneo rhino has about 30 in the world.

The northern white rhinos only have seven individuals in the world.

There are only 20,600 Southern white rhinos and 4,860 black rhinos left.

ouR class has been helping this school in Africa raise awareness about the extinction of rhinos.

Did you know that there are fewer rhinos each month? If we don’t do anything now, sooner or later there won’t be any left!

Can you believe that from millions and millions of each kind, there are only a few left?

Poachers are killing these magnificent creatures for their horns,

which are being used as medicine and plus they are worth millions.

But that needs to stop!

All the kids in Africa really love and care for these animals, and if we don’t do anything about it they’ll never be able to see them again.

Look at it this way: Just think someone you really care for and love being killed and you never get to see them again.

Isn’t that sad?

I would never want to see that happen.

If you don’t, then please stop the poachers and let these amazing animals live there life without fear of dying.

So please save the rhinos!

The Sumatran rhino is a bit better with about 200 of them. We are making a effort to save these and all the other species.

Also thanks to wonderful people, the white rhino has over 20,000 of them! If you are wondering why they are going extinct, the reason is because of poachers cutting off the horns and leaving them to die.

Some humans think that it could be used in medicine. Did you know that some people would pay $1 million for it? We can make a difference and save them for generations to see!

Who (badly) designed the transit fare gates?

I had heard some unsettling reports about

transit fare gates. One said they aren’t going to prevent fare cheating. Another said one can crawl under them. Or, even jump over them.

I went by the Surrey Central SkyTrain station this morning to see for myself. All the reports I had heard are true. What I saw is beyond belief.

These fare gates are like a lock is to an

honest person. Who are the nincompoops who approved this design?

This is total incompetence. The only thing good I can say about them is the aesthetics – like they were designed in France.

I could slide right by on either side of the gates, as there is a big space between the gate and the pillar. Maybe plexiglass needs to go in there.

Regarding people crawling under them –

there is a 14-inch clearance. The gate height is under four feet. This is incredible incompetence. How could they approve such madness?

Why is TransLink so incompetent? The government constantly reminds us that they have to pay top dollars to hire competent help, and they are all very well paid – maybe too well.

Suspect in Subway robberies caught

by Monique Tamminga

2013 Can-Am®OUTLANDERTM 400

LangLey RCMP have stopped a Surrey man they believe is responsible for a six-day crime spree, robbing Subways and other food outlets throughout Langley.

From Feb. 2-8, nine robberies took place at Edible Arrangements, various Subways, and pizza establishments, with three being committed in a single day.

The suspect wore a bandana, a baseball cap, and a hoody, and used bear spray as his weapon in many robberies, said Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk.

In one of the robberies, only $15 was taken. However, the suspect made off with as much as $400 in

another instance.

On four occasions, the suspect used pepper spray as he exited.

Langley’s Street Enforcement Unit developed a strategy to stop these robberies, using surveillance and intelligence collected from the detachment’s crime analyst.

In anticipation of another offence on Feb. 8, a number of surveillance units were deployed.

At approximately 8 p.m., a robbery was reported at Fresh Slice Pizza in north Langley and police were given a description of the suspect vehicle.

The vehicle was located and followed to the Esso gas station at 72 Avenue and 200 Street, where it stopped.

Police approached the vehicle and arrested a man and woman without incident.

The vehicle was searched and several items were recovered, linking these two to the Langley robberies, said Virk.

Edward Joseph Biwer, 22, from Surrey, has been charged with nine counts each of robbery, assault with a weapon and disguise with intent.

He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court again on Feb. 22.

The woman, aged 31, and also from Surrey, has been released from custody to appear in court on Feb. 26. She is suspected of being the driver in all nine robberies.

Surrey travel agency has its licence pulled

Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Surrey/North Delta Leader 9

Consumer Protection B.C. says customers may be at risk

by Sheila Reynolds A Surrey travel agency has been

forced to close its doors – at least temporarily – after its licence was cancelled by Consumer Protection BC (CPBC).

It’s alleged that Globe-Time Travel Ltd., located on 128 Street near 95 Avenue, did not comply with B.C.’s travel regulations.

Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith, manager of corporate communications at CPBC, said the licence cancellation came after an inspection that was generated by a complaint.

“Our director was of the opinion that the business might not meet the necessary criteria to maintain a travel licence. For example, they may not have sufficient working capital,” said Chabeaux-Smith.

“When a travel business doesn’t have enough working capital, then we think that puts the consumer at risk because of the exchange of money. They might not have enough money to pro-

tect those consumers.”

Globe-Time has requested an opportunity to be heard on the licensing matter, but the CPBC could not say how quickly that process would take place.

Customers who have booked trips with Globe-Time and haven’t yet travelled are encouraged to contact airlines, hotels and tour operators to confirm reservations.

If it’s found reservations aren’t confirmed, Consumer Protection BC recommends: • Talking to your airline, hotel and tour operators to determine if there are options available for you to rebook your travel arrangements; • Contacting a B.C. licensed travel agent to determine if they can assist with rebooking alternative travel. To find a licensed travel agent, visit www.travelrightsbc.ca.

In the event that the original travel services booked were not provided and you are seeking a refund, here are some steps you

can take: • If you purchased travel services with a credit card, call or write to the credit card company to determine if the charges can be reversed.

• If you purchased separate travel insurance, call the insurance provider to see if it will cover the costs of the undelivered services.

• If these steps have been unsuccessful, you may be eligible to make a claim with BC’s Travel Assurance Fund (TAF).

The TAF is a fund of last resort and provides possible compensation for consumers who didn’t receive the contracted travel services they purchased through a licensed travel agent. Claims may be made to the fund for the original cost of travel services paid for and not provided.

For more details about the fund and to find a licensed travel agent or wholesaler, visit www.travel rightsbc.ca. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

No patient reports deleted: FHA Union concerned over backlog of medical transcriptions

by Jeff Nagel FrASer HeAltH is being

accused of deleting some doctors’ voicedictated reports for patients because of a huge backlog in medical transcription services.

The Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU) says it sometimes takes too long to get the audio files from physicians transcribed and Fraser Health has a policy of purging certain files that have been in the system more than 60 days.

The files that can be deleted are those that are “on hold” because the doctor failed to include certain information that’s needed before the transcription can be finished.

“It leaves people with incomplete medical charts,” said HEU spokesperson Margi Blamey.

A patient might have a pre-anesthetic consultation with the anesthesiologist, who would later dictate a report and send it for transcription.

But Blamey said some of the reports never get transcribed in time.

“They may actually arrive at their surgery without the information being in their file,” Blamey said.

But health authority officials reject the union’s claims.

“There’s no risk of patients losing their information through a purging process,” said Yoel Robens-Paradise, executive director for Lower Mainland health information management.

He said the “on hold” dictations that are deleted make up a “fraction of a per cent” of the overall transcription volume and said it’s “frightening” and “unfortunate” that the union would suggest all backlogged recordings are at risk.

No files that can be processed are ever deleted until they’re transcribed, he said.

The accusation is the latest volley in the HEU’s fight against plans by Lower Mainland health authorities to contract out the 130 remaining unionized transcriptionists based in Vancouver, New Westminster and Abbotsford.

The move is expected to save $3 million per year on an annual transcription budget of $14 million.

About half the medical transcription in the region is already outsourced to Ontariobased Accentus, which uses home-based subcontractors.

Vancouver and Richmond had more than 16,500 backlogged reports awaiting transcription last week, according to the union.

Robens-Paradise said transcription work has been steadily growing and he conceded a backlog does exist.

He predicts the backlog will be cleared this spring as work begins to shift to newly selected provider MModal.

The change will bring state-of-the-art voice recognition systems that should more than double the productivity of existing staff, he said.

Reason for Applying: I would like to (participate) in this challenge as I think this would motivate and push me even more to work on getting healthier. I’ve continually gained weight and not put my health as a priority over the past few years, and I need to be a healthier me. I want to be a role model for my children, I want to feel healthy. I had a “slight” scare in 2010 (had a lump removed from my breast due to abnormal cells). This woke me up somewhat and I have attempted to lead a healthier life; however I would love the assistances and guidance of professionals. I want to show people that a busy mom of three can still find the time to make health a priority.

A teen is dead after spending some time on a “party bus” on Friday night. Police have ordered an autopsy into the death of the 16-year-old, who died suddenly and quietly on the bus about 10:30 p.m.

About 50 kids boarded the bus at Burnsview Secondary School on Friday night at about 9:30 p.m. At the time, witnesses said the victim looked fine and was in good spirits, according to police. But as the bus approached 72 Avenue and 152 Street, the teen passed out and died.

Police say there was no obvious cause of death. Police conducted about 50 interviews with students that night, many of which had to be taken again because of various levels of intoxication.

Police expect the autopsy to tell them more about how the teen died.

Undoing the Harmonized Sales Tax and establishing a modernized version of the 60-year-old Provincial Sales Tax is the biggest task facing Premier Christy Clark’s government in the brief legislative sitting that precedes the May 14 provincial election.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the transition legislation Wednesday. It includes provisions for transactions that straddle the transition date, such as new home purchases.

The bill to replace the HST runs nearly 200 pages, and it will add

accounting costs for business as well as taking away business input tax credits that match those available under the federal Goods and Services Tax. The government has given itself a deadline of April 1 to make the switch for the 2013-14 fiscal year.

The administrative burden of the switch starts with businesses reprogramming cash registers and other systems to go back to collecting two separate sales taxes.

One of the few modern touches to the new PST is the ability of more than 100,000 businesses to register online at www.gov.bc.ca/ etaxbc/register, and view online

Call Revenue Canada or your local community services centre to find out if this is the case for you. During income tax time, some organizations and volunteer groups set up free workshops to help people on low incomes complete their own income tax returns.

Tax laws are complex and are constantly changing. If you believe that your tax situation is complicated, perhaps because you are a landlord who receives revenue from rental properties or because you own a small business, entrust your bookkeeping and tax return to professional accountants.

Shorthanded Eagles lose in Chilliwack BCHL team has six-point lead atop Mainland Division

by Nick Greenizan The Surrey Eagles

continue to inch closer

to securing first place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference, after earning a

split of two games last weekend.

On Friday, the firstplace Birds – who now

sit six points up on the Chilliwack Chiefs with six games to go – defeated the Nanaimo Clippers 3-2 on home ice. However, with a severely undermanned roster the following night in Chilliwack, Surrey fell to the Chiefs 4-2.

The Eagles played the game with just 14 skaters, as a handful of regulars were shelved due to injury or illness – including Demico Hannoun, Colton Mackie, Tommy Stipancik, Troy Paterson and backup netminder Glenn Ferguson. And to make matters worse, blue-liner Ryan FraserLee broke his skate in warmup and was unable to play.

“That was tough because we were already going to play with five defencemen, so we ended up playing

every now and then,” explained Eagles coach Matt Erhart. “It wasn’t ideal, that’s for sure.”

Roster issues aside, the Eagles still kept it close – they led 2-1 after one period and the game was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes until the Chiefs pulled away in the third, icing the game with an emptynetter at the 19:55 mark.

“We just ran out of gas a little bit,” Erhart said. “Their fourth goal came right at the end, so it was a one-goal game for the most part.

We had some chances to score with the goalie pulled, too, but just couldn’t get one.”

Joel Gaudet and Trevor Cameron scored for Surrey, while Langley native Austin Plevy – the BCHL’s third-leading point-getter – led the Chiefs with a pair of goals.

In Friday’s 3-2 win over the Clippers at South Surrey Arena, neither team scored in the opening 20 minutes, then the home team pounced on the visitors in the second period.

Adam Tambellini, Devon Toews and Brett Mulcahy scored within seven minutes to stake Surrey to a 3-0 lead.

Nanaimo scored twice in the third to make it close, but couldn’t get the equalizer before the final buzzer.

Goaltender Michael Santaguida – who has played all but one game since backup netminder Ferguson was injured two months

ago – earned the win between the pipes, stopping 23 shots.

Looking towards the end of the season and playoffs, Erhart said the rash of injuries – most of which, he says, are minor – has actually been a blessing in disguise, in one respect: it’s allowed the coaching staff to find successful line combinations they otherwise wouldn’t have put together.

“We’ve had to throw guys together who normally wouldn’t play together, and some of it has worked,” the coach said, pointing to his new shutdown line of Nic Pierog, Kevan Killistoff and Cameron.

“Those guys hadn’t played together all season, but they’ve been very good. We’ve been able to throw them out against other teams’ top lines, and they’ve done a real good job,” Erhart said.

This weekend, the team embarks on its final road trip of the season, a three-gamesin-three-nights journey through the Island Division.

On Friday, Surrey will play the Powell River Kings, followed by a Saturday tilt with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and a Sunday afternoon game against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

“It’ll be a good test for us,” Erhart said.

“If we can get a couple wins, it’ll put us that much closer to clinching (first place), and that’s what we’re aiming for.”

Four athletes accept NCAA scholarships

by Rick Kupchuk Four local athletes

have accepted scholarship offer from NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) schools.

Asianna Covington will join the University of Georgia Bulldogs track and field team next fall, while Courney Postma will be playing soccer for the David and Elkins College Senators, a Division II school in West Virginia.

And the University of Idaho Vandals have landed a pair of track and field participants, as Tim Delcourt of Kwantlen Park Secondary and Meghan Palesch of Semiahmoo Secondary will joint their team in the fall.

Covington, a student at Little Flower Academy high school in Vancouver, has won gold medals in hammer throw, discus and shot put at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships, and has also set a Canadian high school record in the discus.

She competed at

courtney Postma will be playing soccer in West Virginia next season. the 2012 World Junior Championships, and was Canada’s flag bearer the IV Commonwealth Youth Games at the Isle of Man in 2011.

University of Georgia head coach Wayne Nor-

ton predicted “Asianna will be one of the best hammers we have had.

The hammer is her best event, but she should help us in the discus as well as she matures.”

Postma is in her

fourth season with the Central City Breakers soccer club, and has been a member of two provincial championship teams.

Postma is a goaltender, and has played in five provincial championship tournaments.

Delcourt won the 2012 B.C. high school cross country championship last fall, and was second in the 1,500m and 3,000m events at last spring’s provincial championships in Burnaby.

Palesch is a national junior champion and set a Canadian record in the 200m hurdles at the 2010 Canadian Youth Championships.

“It’s a very important recruiting year for us, so it was important to find kids who can have an impact right away,” said University of Idaho director of track and field Wayne Phipps, speaking about the two signings. “They’ve already performed well as juniors, and we expect that to continue for them this year and even more so once they get here and keep going down the road.”

Yu meets provincial time Swimmer to compete in Victoria

by Rick Kupchuk Delta SungoD swimmer Albert

Yu, 11, has qualified for the AAA Provincial championships later this month in Victoria.

Yu met the qualifying standard in the 200m breast stroke while winning the gold medal in that event at the BC AA Championship Meet Feb. 8-10 at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex.

There were roughly 500 swim-

mers aged 9-18 at the meet.

Yu was one of seven swimmers from the Sungod club competing in Surrey, and he also reached the final in the 100m freestyle event and placed eighth.

Rosanna Chung, 16, was fourth in her 100m butterfly event and sixth in the 100m breast stroke.

Reece Landry, 10, placed fourth fourth in the 100m butterfly and was eighth in the 100 breaststroke. He also set a new club

record in the Boys 10-and-under 200m breast stroke race with a time of 3:32.11.

“The kids are working very, very hard in practice and many of them have set some ambitious goals. It will be very exciting to see what happens with the club over the next couple of years,” said Sungod coach Kurt Murphy, in his first year as head coach of the club and his third with the program.

The auxiliary constable program in Surrey is the largest in the country.

In 2012, Surrey’s auxiliary constables volunteered at 40 local events. Const.

Summers was honoured for her 20 years of service in Surrey, while Pooni received a provincial award for serving more than 500 hours.

“Since the 1960s, officers in Surrey have had the special privilege of working alongside these dedicated men and women whose commitment to public safety is unmatched,” Surrey RCMP Chief Superintendent Bill Fordy said at the ceremony.

Fordy described the auxiliary constables as an integral part of the detachment’s crime reduction strategy.
