SCHOOL DISTRICTS WRESTLING WITH ‘UNFAIR’ MANDATED BUDGET CUTS ▶ PROVINCE SAYS $29 MILLION MUST BE SHAVED FROM ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS IN THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR, AND ANOTHER $25 MILLION THE FOLLOWING YEAR STEPH TROUGHTON

Both the Surrey and Delta school districts are stunned by the recent provincial 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 directive “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.

Laurae McNally

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

Though Surrey, the biggest district in the province, already has an efficient 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 continued on page 4

EARLY BLUEBERRY BLOOMS RUN RISK OF CRASH CROP ▶ WARM WINTER HAS FLOWERS OPENING WEEKS SOONER THAN USUAL JEFF NAGEL

Blueberry fields in the Fraser Valley are already beginning to bloom thanks to a warm winter but farmers are worried the early start could spell trouble for the crop.

Jason Smith, a blueberry 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 normal, depending on the species and location.

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

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

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

“We certainly wouldn’t want to see a cold snap with moderate to strong winds at this point,” Smith said.

“We can have snow into March. So there’s continued on page 4

Man found dead in North Surrey vehicle ▶ BODY DISCOVERED IN A WHITE FORD SUV ON FRIDAY 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 emergency 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. The 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.

The first involved the suspicious death of a threeyear-old girl on Feb. 11.

The parents say the tot slipped off a plastic tub she was using to reach the sink and smashed her head on the floor.

IHIT is still investigating that file and is still classifying it as a suspicious death.

Anyone who has infor-

mation about the most recent death is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877551-IHIT(4448) or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca If you wish to remain anonymous, go to solve crime.ca or phone 1-800222-8477.

Empowering women ▼ RUBEN’S SHOES FOUNDERS AMONG

SPEAKERS AT FIRST-EVER SHE TALKS CONFERENCE IN SURREY

STEPH TROUGHTON

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

That’s why insurance brokers 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 sponsoring Ruben through World Vision Canada. To date, the campaign has shipped 24,000 pairs of shoes to the Dominican Republic, 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 weekend in Surrey.

Dupuis, who acknowledges males are still more prevalent in the entrepreneurial world than females, says the one fact she hopes listeners will take away from her Ruben’s Shoes presentation is confidence.

“I really hope

Insurance brokers Kelly Strongitharm and Desiree Dupuis founded the charity Ruben’s Shoes, named for a boy (left) in the Dominican Republic. The women will be among 15 females sharing their stories at SheTalks March 7. PHOTOS SUBMITTED women feel inspired and empowered to follow what’s in their hearts,” she says.

To be held March 7, one day before 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 conference 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-founder Madeleine Shaw, fitness model/nurse Harpreet Pandher and lawyer Gurpreet Gill.

Their eight-minute talks will cover a variety of life and career experiences, educational backgrounds 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 scholarship created in conjunction with Simon Fraser University.

SPY technology to help breast cancer patients ▼ SURREY HOSPITAL AND OUTPATIENT CENTRE FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING FOR IMAGING DEVICE STEPH TROUGHTON

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

Surgeons are using SPY imaging technology for breast cancer patients facing reconstructive surgery.

The 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.

“The 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 technology provides instant images of the breast tissue during surgery.

“These (the images) can show potential healing problems, enabling the surgeon to take immediate steps to prevent post-surgery 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 Surrey. The clinic dramatically speeds up the process for diagnosing suspicious masses which show up in routine mammographies.

“At the Jim Pattison

The SPY imaging system can greatly improve the success rates of breast reconstruction surgery following cancer.

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 reconstructive surgery.

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

Because the SPY imaging system allows surgeons to see actual blood flow between the patient’s abdominal flap and breast skin flaps, it improves the success rate of the reconstructive surgery, as mastectomy flap 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 flow.

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.

The SPY imaging system involves surgeons injecting a safe fluorescent 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 flow within vessels, tissue and organs. The images allow surgeons to ensure there is a healthy blood flow circulating to the breast mound so they can precisely reattach blood vessels as well as the breast skin flaps.

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

B.C. school district.

The 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 Thursday about the province’s funding decision.

“We have to do this (challenge school boards to find administrative savings) because, while we’re putting more into the system, in spite of declining student enrolment, school districts are spending more money on administration than ever before,” he wrote.

“Without school districts finding efficiencies administrative costs would rise to almost seven per cent of their budgets by 2019.

“These costs can come down and should come down,” he added “All we’re asking school districts to do is to find adminis-

trative savings to reflect the perThe British Columbia School centage they were spending 10 Trustees Association (BCSTA) reyears ago – about six per cent.” ported that although the provinDelta school district chairpercial education budget overall will son Laura Dixon also said the be increased over the next three announcement was years, the majority disappointing and of the additional came as a complete funds have been ▶ “It’s not surprise. allocated to the cost that we don’t “We are at a bit of a of new teacher and loss where we would support staff collecunderstand go to find these tive agreements. fiscal efficiencies,” Dixon District boards are said. responsibility. attending meetings Dixon noted Delta over the next couple We live it is second only to of weeks to discuss Surrey in having the how the spending every day.” leanest adminisreduction will be LAURA DIXON trative costs in the divided among province because of districts. reductions made in The province the past that included cutting requires all B.C. school districts student bus services and closing to submit balanced budgets by two schools due to declining June 30.

definitely 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 flowers are open.

“Those bees don’t fly unless it’s 15 or 16

degrees out,” Smith said. “And if there’s strong winds they’re not going to want to fly 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 preparing to harvest two weeks early but then cooler weather in May and June pushed it back to normal.

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

decision.

If anyone is guilty of fomenting public cynicism, Bateman said, it’s the mayors by avoiding debate on problems with TransLink.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said mayors have “constantly” pressed the province for governance changes to make TransLink more democratically accountable.

“The situation we have is unworkable. I am hopeful that message has now resonated with the provincial government.”

Brodie said he was

Yes campaigners have accused the No side in the transit referendum of misleading the public 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 deliberately derailing the debate from what is actually 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 public services.

McGarrigle urged voters not to “give in to a future where cynicism descends over the region like a stifling blanket, while congestion increasingly costs us all more time, more money and more expensive choices down the road.”

The co-chair of the Better Transit Coalition was flanked by mayors from Vancouver and Richmond at the Canada Line’s Brighouse station for the release of a study estimating the economic benefits 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 information about the plan and added he’s optimistic that will change.

“We’ve seen a kneejerk response initially that reflects everyone’s concerns around taxes,” Robertson said.

“When people have the ballot in their hands they’ll make the right choice for our region.”

The study by InterVistas estimated the mayors’ plan would add $450 million per year to the regional economy through the

first 10 years and the annual benefit would hit $1.6 billion a year by 2045.

The growth projections come from estimated direct and indirect jobs to build and operate the proposed transportation improvements, as well as the economic productivity gains that would flow 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 averaging $85,000 a year.

McGarrigle said the improvements should win over workers, who know the costs of congestion 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 easily after a long shift without spending more precious money as a result of yet more service cutbacks.”

Try cutting government waste ▼ THE PUBLIC IS ALREADY TAXED TO DEATH AT EVERY TURN 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 different levels of governments. 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,

A letter writer says government waste and mismanagement should be addressed before proposing a tax hike for transit improvement. provincial tax, property tax, provincial sales tax, goods and services tax, transit levy, and every time we fill up at the pump a major portion 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 annually 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 mismanagement is taking place right under our noses when both of them will be on the payroll simultaneously 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 mismanagement. All they are focusing on is the further tax hikes and their own pay increments.

▼ WANTING

TO ATTRACT BRIDGE TRAFFIC TO PAY DEBT IS UNWHOLESOME Re: Port Mann bridge deficit climbs (The Leader, Feb. 24).

That the creation of a new bridge with more lanes has resulted in less traffic, though ironic, is a good thing. Tolling the old structure, of course, would have achieved the same end.

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

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

VIEWPOINT

Pay down that student loan or else BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

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. The B.C. government 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.

There 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 effort to deal with it.

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

period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically, governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies.

Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days?

The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges 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 accusation that he is indifferent 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 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial 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 difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary 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 governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, 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.

There 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.

Police may get body cameras

CORRECTION NOTICE

JEFF NAGEL

Please be aware that the following promotion was advertised incorrectly in this weeks yer: Pack & Go! Earn over 1,700 Air Miles reward miles in this yer‌& make your getaway!

The correct description is: Pack & Go! Earn over 900 Air Miles reward miles in this yer‌& make your getaway!

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

That’s the unanimous recommendation of an all-party legislative committee that urges the province’s justice ministry to give a tentative green light

and begin consultations.

Federal and provincial privacy commissioners 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 benefit 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.

If supported by railway 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 committed as a council and a community to working on this issue,” she said.

She said the motion will be sent to BNSF and Transport Canada.

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

It strengthens ongoing efforts to improve safety along the rail line, he said. At the same time, he acknowledged the city’s powers over the issue are limited.

“Definitely, 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.”

How you can gain with ICBC paying more G R E G O R Y A . S M I T H , L AW 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.

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 fourfold increase in freight traffic along the rail line since 2007.

The 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 resident 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 company’s top priority.

“We have found that our set speeds through the corridor are safe and efficient for the movement of all commodities handled,” he said.

“Our safe operating 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 happening,” he said.

“It becomes negligent 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 significantly.

Eagles’ season ends with two losses ▜ BCHL TEAM COMES UP SHORT ON THE ROAD IN WEST KELOWNA AND MERRITT NICK GREENIZAN

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

The 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.

The Eagles finished 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 final frame.

Then, 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 deficit to just two goals, but it was as close as the

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 first period.

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

In the second, Merritt’s Rhett Wilcox restored the Cents’ lead with a power-play tally, and the home side added two more goals in the third to earn the win.

Though 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,â€? 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.â€?

Panthers pleased with runner-up placing ▶ CLOVERDALE SCHOOL PLACES SECOND AT FRASER VALLEY TOURNAMENT RICK KUPCHUK

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 tournament, placing a very impressive second in the largest zone in the province.

The Panthers, after clinching a berth at the B.C. tournament for the first time since 1953 earlier in the week, defeated the Semiahmoo Totems 96-79 in an all-Surrey semifinal 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.

“This is big, and the boys played hard. Yale is a very good team, very well-coached, great kids on the floor.

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

The 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. The Lions regrouped, went 11-for-15 from the foul line in the fourth quarter, and held on to their lead.

Six-foot-five forward Iqwinder Gill with 14 points, guard Brett Norris with 17, and forward Justin Mason with 16 paced the Panthers offense.

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

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.”

The Semiahmoo Totems will also be in Langley for the B.C. championships after they sputtered to a fourth place finish at the Fraser Valley tournament.

After putting up more than 100 points in two victories early in the tournament to secure their first B.C. championship appearance in 38 years, Semiahmoo lost twice and finished fourth in the Fraser Valley.

After their semifinal 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. The South Surrey school led 24-23 after one quarter and trailed just 44-37 at the half.

But Terry Fox hammered 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 included first-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 finish won’t help the Totems when the draw is announced for the provincial 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.”
