Trials of Surrey mom’s alleged killers delayed – again ▟ AMANPREET BAHIA WAS SLAIN IN HER HOME NINE YEARS AGO SHEILA REYNOLDS

Nine years after a mom of three was slain in her Surrey home, the long-awaited trials for her accused killers have once again been delayed.

Amanpreet Kaur Bahia, 33, was found dead downstairs in her Newton-area house on the morning of Feb. 7, 2007. Family members returned from an outing to find her lying in a pool of blood. Two of her young daughters had been home alone with their mother’s body for several hours before anyone arrived.

Amanpreet’s husband Baljinder Singh Bahia and another man, Eduard Viktorovitch – both charged with first-degree murder – were slated to start their trial on Monday (Feb. 1).

The trial did not go ahead, however, and has now been adjourned until Sept. 12.

The postponement, said Criminal Justice Branch spokesperson Neil MacKenzie, was made on behalf of Bahia’s lawyer, who wasn’t able to proceed with the scheduled dates.

A third accused in the case will be tried separately from the two men. Tanpreet Kaur Athwal is also facing a first-degree murder charge. Voir dire proceedings were scheduled to begin for Athwal on May 2, with the actual trial starting Sept.

12. But as that’s when Bahia and Baranec’s trial is now set for, Athwal’s will now have to be rescheduled, said MacKenzie.

The trio was charged in February 2011, four years after Amanpreet’s murder. Amanpreet Kaur They were then ordered to Bahia stand trial after a preliminary hearing in provincial court in May 2012. A trial was initially scheduled for January 2014 before being postponed several times.

Both Baranec and Bahia’s, and Athwal’s trials are expected to be heard by jury in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

â–ś ABOUT HALF OF THE PEOPLE KILLED ON SURREY ROADS ARE PEDESTRIANS from page 1

Her sister wants people to know Dingman was more than just another traffic statistic. Her funeral was on Wednesday and her family is reeling from the loss.

Dingman had a black poodle-yorkie cross named Ringo (she loved the Beatles) and was one of the most loving people you would ever meet, her sister Frankie Pecian said Tuesday. “She was a very bright, bubbly, caring person that loved her family.�

Pecian said Dingman was too young to die and leaves behind a shell-shocked family, including their mom and a 25-year-old brother. “She was the baby,� Pecian said. “She was a month into her 18th year.�

Surrey has the unfortunate distinction of being home to the highest ratio of pedestrian-related motor vehicle fatalities in the province.

About half of the people killed on Surrey roads are pedestrians.

In Metro Vancouver, about one in three fatalities involve pedestrians being struck, while provincewide, the figure drops to 15 per cent.

Police say the public – both drivers and pedestrians – need to get better educated about road awareness. “Quite simply, if you are distracted or not paying

Price Drop Security

attention to what’s happening on the road in front of you, you are dramatically increasing your risk of either being a victim or the driver involved in a serious pedestrian motor vehicle incident,� said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “For both drivers and pedestrians, it is a good time to review safety tips, including making eye contact with drivers before crossing and always being ready to yield to pedestrians.�

Some of the main offending activities are: • Speed: Both pedestrians and drivers aren’t leaving enough time to get to their destinations. Drivers are travelling above the posted speed limit and pedestrians aren’t taking the few extra minutes needed to get to a crosswalk, opting instead to jaywalk. • Distractions: Again, both drivers and pedestrians are paying attention to things other than the road.

Drivers are spending time on cellphones, tuning radios, etc., while pedestrians are also distracted by mobile devices. • Intersection awareness: Drivers have to be extremely aware of a multitude of things at intersections.

Often, they are not watching for the unexpected, such as a pedestrian stepping off the curb. Eye contact is crucial for both drivers and pedestrians so that each is aware of what the other is doing.

Street lights to switch to LED ▶ COUNCIL ENDORSES FIVE-YEAR PLAN EXPECTED TO SAVE CITY $1 MILLION ANNUALLY

Surrey’s 28,000 existing street lights will be converted to Light Emitting Diodes – a lowerenergy technology.

KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey will spend $11 million over the next five years to upgrade its street lights to LED. The decision, endorsed by council Monday (Feb. 1), means the city’s 28,000 existing street lights will be converted to Light Emitting Diodes (LED) a lower-energy lighting technology.

The city will start with replacing 7,100 street lamps in Guildford and City Centre.

Once completed citywide, the move is expected to result in annual savings of approximately $1,000,000 through reduced power consumption and maintenance.

Traffic Operations Manager Sinisa Petrovic said Wednesday the province will be refunding about 30 per cent of the city’s overall costs, bringing the net charge to the city

EVAN SEAL

to about $7.7 million.

Petrovic noted the LED lighting lasts 30 years, as opposed to the current sodium lighting, which lasts about five years.

Once completely installed, Surrey will see $700,000 a year in power savings and save another $300,000 annually in maintenance and replacement costs.

Some residents in other cities where the LED lighting is in place complain that it’s too bright. But Petrovic said the LEDs can be adjusted for the right lighting needs.

Some studies show

LEDs have high volumes of lead and arsenic, but that’s predominantly small red LEDs and less so with home LED lighting, Petrovic said, adding it’s not a concern with the street lighting.

Mayor Linda Hepner described the decision to switch as “another example of Surrey being at the forefront of smart cities.

“For motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, the LED lights will enhance visibility and safety. LED lights also consume less power than the current sodium lights, which will result in significant cost savings to the city

once the conversion is complete,” Hepner said in a news release.

According to the release, LED lights make it easier for motorists to see pedestrians and signs, and the lighting quality of LEDs also results in reduced eyestrain and fatigue.

Coun. Mike Starchuk, chair of the city’s environmental sustainability advisory committee, said the move “fits well with the goals for a sustainable Surrey.”

LED lights are more environmentally friendly as they consume less power and last four times longer than sodium lights, he said.

Transit: More free Wi-Fi JEFF NAGEL

TransLink is aiming to add free Wi-Fi Internet access to much of the transit system, but officials aren’t yet revealing many details.

Free Wi-Fi has already been made available at both SeaBus terminals and acting CEO Cathy McLay said more is on the way.

TransLink has previously been testing WiFi for bus passengers on certain routes, such as the 555 from Langley to Braid Station, and more buses, SkyTrain and potentially West Coast Express could be added as part of the pending rollout.

“Stay tuned,” McLay said. “We’ll also be offering things like plug-in stations so you can actually power your devices on the system.”

A woman is being treated for stab wounds after being sexually assaulted in Whalley.

Surrey RCMP were called by residents in the 13200-block of 105 Avenue on Tuesday (Feb. 2) reporting they heard a woman screaming.

Police say at 2 a.m. the woman met a man not known to her and walked with him to a secluded area. She told police the

suspect then sexually assaulted her and stabbed her before fleeing.

A nearby Good Samaritan drove the woman to the hospital where she is recovering from serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect is described as a black male with a slight build, 5’10” to 5’11”, and approximately 30 years old.

He speaks with a slight accent and was wearing black pants and a black hoodie.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday Februar y 5 2016

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you like the idea of the City of Surrey switching its street lights to LED? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Should stricter restrictions be in place for those using electronic vaporizers?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 75% No 25%

Long-suffering schools Surrey has a serious school overcrowding problem, but you wouldn’t know it from much of the media coverage about Lower Mainland schools.

A dispassionate observer getting information from the Vancouver-based media would likely come to the conclusion that the biggest school-related challenge in the largest metropolitan area of B.C. is that 13 Vancouver schools may eventually be closed.

This is because the provincial government won’t fund seismic upgrades unless school enrolment is at 95 per cent capacity.

Enrolment in Vancouver schools has been falling for decades, and many schools are barely half-full. The Vancouver School Board has vigorously resisted closing any schools for years.

The biggest challenge, as both The Leader and Peace Arch News have reported for many years, is that many Surrey schools are overcrowded. This is due to two key factors – the amount of development taking place in many Surrey neighbourhoods, and the subsequent boost in the population; and the fact that Surrey is home to many families with children.

Vancouver’s population is growing, but most of that is in the number of adults moving to the city, not kids.

Last week, the NDP’s education critic Rob Fleming was

outside Hazelgrove Elementary, one of the most overcrowded Surrey schools, along with fellow NDP MLAs Harry Bains and Sue Hammell, both of whom represent Surrey ridings. The tour was reminiscent of numerous tours over the years by Opposition politicians, highlighting how the government of the day has not built enough schools to keep pace.

This periodic visit to overcrowded schools usually takes place as an election is nearing and goes back to the days of Social Credit governments. Mike Harcourt, when he was NDP Opposition leader in the late 1980s and early 1990s, did such a tour.

The BC Liberals pointed the finger at the NDP government during the 1990s, and in the past 15 years, the NDP has pointed the finger at the B.C. Liberals.

The attention these tours bring to the need for more classrooms is always welcome, but unfortunately it doesn’t usually mean extra funding. While the current government has freed up some funds for schools in Surrey, notably for the building of a new high school in Clayton (construction began last month), there are more projects that need funding.

The school district’s current capital plan has four new schools as its top four priorities. It would like construction of the four to

begin in 2018. Two are elementary schools in Clayton and two are in Grandview Heights in South Surrey.

The district has many more priorities, including additions to existing schools, replacement of older schools and seismic upgrades. Surrey schools have more than 70,000 students and many of its schools are more than 50 years old.

The provincial government has to prioritize calls for new schools across the province. However, other than Surrey, few communities are growing dramatically.

There is growth in some areas of Langley and Abbotsford which may require new schools, but in most other school districts, enrolment continues to drop.

The province is right to try to get school districts to utilize schools more fully and shoot for 95 per cent capacity. Schools that are more than half-empty may be best used for other purposes.

In Surrey’s case, the district desperately needs more capital funds for schools, so that it can at least temporarily retire the more than 300 portable classrooms that are currently in use. A commitment to more capital funding in Surrey by the provincial government is long overdue.

Plastic pollution: Start the dialogue YOUTH VOICE ▼ Japreet Lehal

It is time to discuss an issue that affects our environment. Action is long overdue on the regulation of single-use, non-biodegradable plastic bags.

Victoria city council is discussing the idea. It is time for Surrey and Delta to make their voice heard on this important matter as well.

It is estimated that on a yearly basis in Canada, 2.86 billion plastic bags are used.

In the past, the provincial government did not allow action on this matter to proceed, when Vancouver wanted to ban the use of single-use plastic bags. However, with renewed momentum on this issue in Victoria, other cities have an opportunity to explore solutions and encourage the provincial government to introduce ways to address the problem.

Plastic in the ocean has led to the death of thousands of marine animals and has polluted pristine waters. It can take hun-

dreds of years for plastic to decompose.

This plastic pollution affects ecosystems and ultimately the health and well-being of our planet. Alternatives to plastic bags, such as cloth bags which can be re-used for a fairly long period of time, are more eco-friendly.

Marine life is also threatened because according to the United Nations Environment Programme 2011 Yearbook, plastics in the ocean can “absorb” pollutants, including PCBs. This can lead to “endocrine disruption affecting reproduction, increases in the frequency of genetic mutations (mutagenicity) and a tendency to cause cancer (carcinogenicity).”

While the research is not fully comprehensive and definitive, plastic pollution could negatively affect human health.

We cannot risk inaction in the face of the dangers that such pollutants could pose to marine animals and human health.

In recent years, the extent of this problem has come to light and the need to find ways to stop any more harm has become urgent. Jurisdictions around the world have made efforts regarding plastic bag use.

In the U.S., numerous cities have introduced bans, including Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and many others.

Municipalities in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec have also introduced bans. In Seattle, the city has a plastic bag ban and also introduced a five-cent fee for paper bags. At the same time, it has made reasonable exemptions in the law. In Ireland, a plastic bag tax was introduced, and the money generated from the tax goes to an Environment Fund. In the UK, retailers are also required to charge customers if certain types of bags, including paper or

plastic, are purchased. The results have been positive and there has been a significant decrease in use.

In England, Scotland and Wales, retailers are encouraged to provide the funds generated from the charges to positive initiatives in the community. In Northern Ireland, the funds are given to the Department of Environment.

Ultimately, any effective solution will involve greater dialogue. It will also involve consultation with and feedback from community members. The most important step that municipal and provincial governments can take right now is to start the conversation.

A daughter rides against cancer – for her Mum My Mum has been diagnosed with leukemia three times. She was first diagnosed in 2007 and went through chemotherapy. Then, she relapsed in 2009 and underwent a bone marrow transplant.

She was thankfully cancer-free for six years before the cancer sadly returned in November 2015.

Cancer is a horrible thing – it doesn’t care who you are or how many times you’ve fought. It’s something that impacts us all and now is the time to start talking about what we can do to make real impact. Let’s get together and do something bigger than ourselves.

I challenged my Mum when she was diagnosed again in the fall. We made a deal. I said that I knew she would beat the cancer again and I would participate in this year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer, presented by Silver Wheaton, benefiting the BC Cancer Foundation.

It’s a 200-kilometre cycling journey throughout Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest Aug. 27-28. Since 2009, the ride has raised more than $70 million and is the province’s largest cycling fundraiser.

I’m training by doing spin classes mostly at the moment (it’s cold outside) and getting out and riding whenever I can. I’ll start doing longer rides when there are more hours of daylight. I’m also cross training with hiking, yoga, swimming and walking all in the mix.

This ride is something anyone can do, no matter what your fitness level. It’s not a race, it’s a journey to conquer this disease.

If my Mum can go through cancer a third time, we can complete this epic event together. I completed my first ride a few years ago and I thought it would be a one-time thing. Then cancer came back into my life and I knew this was something I had to do for my Mum. You can register for The Ride to Conquer Cancer for $25 by visiting conquercancer.ca.

Pot use led to a wasted life I still remember trying marijuana like it was yesterday. I was about eight or 10 years old. People told me it would lead to other stronger drugs. Of course I never believed it. Besides I swore I’d never let a drug control my life.

Now here I am with a wasted life. Because it did lead to harder drugs.

After ending up a heroin addict, it took me 46 years to get a handle on my sickness (addiction). Once you start, it’s so hard to stop.

Weed should not be sold in stores on every street corner when it’s legalized. Strict laws should apply because it’s an accident waiting to happen.

claimed that truck driver Rajinder Sandhu and the City of Surrey were responsible for a collision that took place near the exit of a parking lot on Scott Road near 95 Avenue.

The city and Sandhu argued that Ali was at fault because she illegally passed Sandhu’s 40-foot truck on the right.

Ali testified on her own behalf, claiming she was leaving the parking lot of her bank when she got stuck behind a large, slow-moving truck. She said she moved her vehicle to the right – the direction she wanted to turn on to Scott Road – believing the truck was turning left. She then claimed the truck’s reverse lights came on and it reversed into her, striking the side of her car on an angle.

Sandhu, who was servicing sewer pipes and manholes for the city, testified he was making a right turn onto Scott Road – under the direction of two safety workers – when he heard a “crunch.” It was only then, he said, that he saw Ali’s vehicle on his right. He said he was never backing up in the parking lot.

The investigating Surrey RCMP officer testified Ali’s version of events was not consistent with the vehicle damage he saw, as there was no damage to the rear of the truck Ali claimed had reversed into her.

In her Feb. 1 decision, Justice Martha Devlin sided with the city and Sandhu, noting Ali was not a credible witness.

“Her version of events was sometimes

vague and changed throughout her testimony, depending on what aspect of her testimony was challenged,” said Devlin. “As a result her testimony was internally inconsistent and contradictory.”

The judge also questioned Ali’s revelation that in 2014, two years after the crash, she encountered a woman who had witnessed the incident. While first saying she didn’t know the woman, phone records showed she had prior contact.

“Ms. Ali’s explanation of how she discovered the supposed witness… was most damaging to her credibility even though [the witness] did not testify at trial.”

Devlin concluded Ali was solely responsible for the collision, dismissing her lawsuit, with costs.

Men’s group on RCMP radar KEVIN DIAKIW

A “neomasculinity” group hosting a meeting in Surrey on the weekend is on the RCMP radar.

The “Return of Kings,” which is run by a man called Roosh V, a self-styled women’s pick-up artist, has been widely criticized and has been accused of advocating rape if it is done on private property.

He is planning a meeting in North Surrey on Saturday.

Surrey’s top cop, RCMP Chief Supt.

Bill Fordy, sent out a release by way of Facebook on Wednesday afternoon.

“Surrey RCMP is aware of the ‘Return of Kings’ meeting that has reportedly been scheduled for Saturday evening in Surrey and will be monitoring to ensure the public’s safety,” Fordy said.

He noted Canada’s Charter of Rights guarantees freedom of assembly.

“However, the law is clear, sex without consent is illegal. We will investigate all reports of sexual crime, working with partners to support victims and bring perpetrators to justice.

Delta farm school coming ▶ STUDENTS WILL LEARN ABOUT ANIMALS, CROPS AND SCIENCE IN ‘GROUND BREAKING’ NEW PROGRAM SHEILA REYNOLDS

Delta School District is launching a program this fall intended to take learning out of the classroom and on to the land.

The Farm Roots Mini School – cheekily marketed as “ground breaking” – is slated to be sown in Ladner in September.

It’s open to students in Grades 10-12, who would attend the specialized program every second day while attending classes at their regular school on the other days.

The hands-on mini school, run in partnership with local

farmers and industry workers, is located in the Boundary Bay area on eight acres of land.

Students will not only learn about growing crops and raising animals, but about related busi-

ness, science and environmental issues.

Students will also design their own inquirybased research projects, pursuing whatever interests them, whether it be learning more about urban farming, food security, animal health or organic foods.

Some courses are also being co-developed with Kwantlen Polytechnic University, allowing students to not only accumulate credits that count toward their high school graduation, but toward university.

An open house about the Farm Roots program is scheduled for Feb. 13, 1-4 p.m. at 6570 1A Ave. To register for the program, go to www.deltalearns.ca/farmroots

Variety lends a helping hand ▶ FUNDING FROM CHARITY TOPS UP TEEN’S FUNDRAISER FOR A NEW HIGH-TECH PROSTHETIC LIMB EVAN SEAL

It’s taken more than a year of fundraising, but for one young man, the reward has been well worth the wait.

Featured in The Leader last year, Drew Daniel was born without a left hand due his umbilical cord wrapping around his arm in utero.

Throughout his life, Daniel has used numerous prosthetic arms, however the outdated technology made completing basic tasks difficult.

A little over a year ago, he began a crowdfunding campaign in an attempt to raise funds for a new state-of-the-art aluminum and carbon-fibre prosthetic arm that would give him the dexterity to perform more intricate tasks.

The cost for the new device was more than $28,000.

Daniel was able to raise $20,000, but

Drew Daniel’s crowdsourcing for a prosthetic arm concluded with a donation from Variety. EVAN SEAL

was still more than $7,000 short.

That’s when Variety – The Children’s Charity stepped in.

“A woman put me in contact with Variety and said they may be able to help,” said Daniel. “I didn’t realize Variety offered funding for people like myself.”

Recently he was fitted for the latest high-tech prosthetic limb called the BeBionic 3 – thanks to a $7,500 contribution from Variety.

The wrist rotates 360 degree and each finger moves, Daniel said – complex functions the older model was unable to perform.

“I would like other families to know that The Variety Charity is an amazing organization,” said Daniel. “(Variety) helps people like myself achieve things that may not be possible on their own due to the high cost of most medical devices.”

This year Daniel will be featured on the 2016 50th anniversary of the Show of Hearts Telethon taking place Feb. 13 and 14, which raises money for the charity.

SENIOR'S HOME PROGRAMS Home, not hospital or residential care, is the best place to continue to recover from an illness/injury, to manage longterm conditions, while receiving health care supports.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Getting at-home services seniors need:

Helping older adults stay in the home

By Nicolle Hodges Home may be where the heart is – and because of developments in technology for senior care – it’s where health can be too.

From a social point of view, technology helps seniors stay connected to loved ones through e-mail and social media. It’s also helping seniors to stay in their home’s well into their eighties, while improving their safety. With the use of remote monitoring devices, like online updates on blood pressure, technology is making homes more safe and secure.

Motion detectors can be used to track a person’s movement inside the home, and can be placed on the floor to detect if a person has fallen. This detection device will then notify a caregiver.

In-home technologies can range from monitoring devices like lighting, motion sensors, video cameras, emergency assistance programs and alerts.

“Seniors are no different than anyone else,” says Jacqueline Blackwell, Fraser Health Public Affairs, “they want to stay in their own surroundings and retain their freedom.”

Fraser Health is developing more services in the community to help older

adults stay healthy, stay out of hospital and stay in their homes rather than be admitted to residential care. There are plenty of support services available, including referral to the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program to borrow a bath seat, walker, wheelchair, lift, hospital bed, or other necessary equipment for a short time if you can’t afford to rent from a private vendor, and a subscription to Lifeline.

“We believe seniors have the right to live independently, but we want to make sure they always have access to emergency assistance, so Lifeline is a personal alarm that they can pay for a basic service, which gives them access to help at the push of a button,” says Blackwell.

The Canadian Red Cross provides a short-term loan program for basic mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, bath seats and benches, commodes and toilet seats, crutches and canes, bed handles and other durable medical equipment.

They also offer a short-term loan program for advanced equipment such as beds, lifts, and mattresses, four-wheeled walkers and wheelchair cushions as well as additional sizes

and variations of standard equipment.

This program is to support clients with complex care needs to allow them to be discharged from hospital sooner or remain at home longer.

The equipment loan program supports Fraser Health’s ‘Home is Best’ philosophy – home, not hospital or residential care, is the best place to continue to recover from an illness/injury, to manage long-term conditions, while receiving health care supports.

Any physiotherapist, occupational therapist, registered nurse, or physician can make basic equipment referrals. Advanced equipment requires the referral of a physiotherapist or occupational therapist from the Home Health program.

Fraser Health offers plenty of other programs available for seniors hoping to live at home longer, such as Meals on Wheels – a frozen meal delivery program.

Better at Home (Betterathome.ca) is a non-profit organization that provides non-medical services that vary by community but may include friendly visiting, transportation to appointments, light yard work, minor home repairs, snow shoveling, light housekeeping, and grocery shopping.

What can family members personally do to ensure their elderly loved ones are getting the kind of at-home services they need? It all comes down to awareness.

“Family members can assist by being aware and keeping track of how their

parents are doing,” she says. “This mean checking in and making sure they maintain contact if their parents have a case manager.”

If someone reaches a point where their complex health needs require access to services that are more around the clock, they can be assessed for residential care, which is something their case manager can do, adds Blackwell.

We're just beginning to understand how technology can support the desire to live at home longer, and luckily, the young and the elderly are benefiting along the way.

Eagles ‘play for pride’ after missing playoffs ▶ BCHL TEAM ADDS THREE MORE GAMES TO LOSS TOTAL NICK GREENIZAN

Though they were officially eliminated from BC Hockey League playoff contention two weekends ago, the Surrey Eagles still have plenty to play for over the final month of season, says head coach Blaine Neufeld.

That the Eagles won’t participate in the playoffs is no great surprise

– with just six wins on the season, the writing had been on the wall for weeks, if not months – but whether it’s young players trying to cement a spot on next year’s roster, or older players still vying for attention from college scouts, Neufeld insists these last 10 games are as important as any other .

“We’re playing for pride, yeah there’s a little bit of that, sure.

And we’re a young group that is learning how to win, so there’s lots of things we can still take from these last few games. There’s a lot

of purpose,” he said.

Neufeld’s optimism hasn’t waned despite another three losses last weekend – 4-3 to the Wenatchee Wild at home Friday, 5-2 to the Chilliwack Chiefs in Chilliwack, and 4-2 on the road against the Langley Rivermen.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

The three opponents are the top three teams in the BCHL’s Mainland Division – and all have already qualified for the playoffs – and Surrey came close to earn victories against both the Wild and Rivermen.

Against Wenatchee on Friday, the Birds led 2-1 early in the third period until Wenatchee scored twice in 20 seconds to steal a lead and the game’s momentum; against Langley Sunday afternoon, it was a three-goals-in-two-minutes explosion from the Rivermen that sunk the visiting Eagles.

“We had small lapses in focus in each game, and it cost us. That’s our kryponite right now – bouncing back after a goal against,” said Neufeld. “But we aren’t overly concerned with the scoreboard Paul McAvoy of the Surrey Eagles falls under Trevor Ayre of the Langley Rivermen during a BC Hockey League game Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Surrey lost 4-2. BOAZ JOSEPH

at this point. We look a bit deeper now – are we out-chancing them, are we playing better defence?

“Wenatchee is one of the best teams in our league and we limited them to just 27 shots, and in Langley, I thought we controlled long portions of the game, to be honest.”

From an offensive standpoint, Eagles’

forwards Jaxon Joseph and Kurt Black were the team’s standouts – and both are examples Neufeld pointed to when detailing the importance of the team’s remaining games.

For example, Joseph – who had two goals Friday against the Wild – is a rookie, having joined Surrey from the Junior B ranks in midseason.

He – and a host of other

young players that dot the Eagles’ roster – need strong showings down the stretch to ensure they stay in the team’s plans for next season.

“Even though we aren’t in the playoffs, you want to give everything you’ve got to make sure you’ve given the coaches enough to want to bring you back. Nobody wants to be left behind,” Neufeld said.

“And Jaxon is a good example. He’s been able to adapt very quickly to this level, and he’s been a super underrated player for us since he joined us.”

The 20-year-old Black, meanwhile, is playing for a college scholarship – something Neufeld expects he will achieve in the not-too-distant future.

“Guys like Kurt, and (goaltender) Justin Laforest, we’re trying to showcase both those guys, and there’s been a lot of interest. I know as an older player it can be tough to go into the last few games of your season without (a scholarship), but for both those guys, I know this isn’t the end of their hockey careers,” Neufeld said.

Though wins and losses are of little consequence now, Neufeld said his team has still set a goal to win at least five of the remaining 10 games on the schedule. They’ll get an opportunity for three of those this coming long weekend – they travel to Prince George for games against the Spruce Kings today (Friday) and Saturday, and then return home for a 2 p.m.

The two teams split a two-game series in Kelowna last November, with the Rockets winning 6-4 before losing the rematch 7-2.

The rest of the schedule is very favourable to the Hawks, who are chasing their first-ever first-place finish.

After this weekend, the Hawks play two games each against three opponents with records of .500 or less. Four of those six games are on home ice.

A sweep of the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds allowed the Valley West Hawks to remove one more thing from their to-do list.

After 5-1 and 6-2 victories in BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML) play last weekend, the Hawks have now clinched homeice advantage for the first round of the playoffs, and will host a best-of-three series March 4-6.

Valley West is still atop the MML standings with a 25-6-1 (win-lost) record with eight games to play.

They are tied with the 24-7-3 Cariboo Cougars, who have just six games remaining.

Hawks head coach Jessie Leung dismissed the one-sided scores, saying both games were close but Valley West made the most of some big plays. “We get key goals and saves at the right times in order for us to pull away,� he said. “Our goaltending has been a strength all season. We gave up some five-star chances and Tally (Nic Tallarico) and Klaus (Reece Klassen) had to save our bacon a few times.�

Valley West led 2-0 after one period and 3-0 after two in Friday’s game at the Langley Events Centre. James Malm opened the scoring, with Ilijah Colina netting what would be the winning goal five minutes later. Kabir Gill tallied the lone goal in the second period, then Justyn Gurney made it 4-0 early in the third.

After the Thunderbirds got their only goal of the game, Luka Burzan notched his 15th of the year with less than three minutes to go.

Saturday evening in Abbotsford, goals from Colina and Gurney allowed the visiting Hawks to take a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Josh Bruce and Ian Ross scored

OBITUARIES

BRETT Marion Beryl (nee Hatch) October 12, 1949 - January 27, 2016 With her quiet confidence in the love of Jesus Christ, Marion left us saddened all too soon following several years suffering with PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). Marion attended Lord Byng H.S., then UBC in Sciences, graduating with a Master’s Degree in Audiology and Speech Sciences in 1973. In the Chilliwack, Delta and Vancouver School districts, she worked as a speech therapist with children. Believing God was directing her to Regent College, she earned a Diploma of Christian Studies in 1976. Marion then worked as a consultant for the Vancouver Infant Development Program, mostly with in-home visits. Married in 1984, Marion left her career to help raise four step-children (Eileen, Wendy, Peter and Edward) aged 10 to 15 years at that time, before having three children of her own (David, Sarah, Kathleen). Marion was predeceased by her parents, Douglas and Beryl Hatch, and a son, Timothy. Marion faced the challenges of her illness in the same way she lived her whole life; with quiet courage, a strong faith, and a gracious acceptance of God’s loving providence. She is survived by her husband, Bob, three children, four step children, seven grandchildren; and her brother, Ron (Judy), a niece and two nephews.

A celebration of her life will be held at North Langley Community Church, Tuesday, February 9 at 2:30 pm. Donations to Pregnancy Options, (#5 - 13634 - 104 Avenue, Surrey V3T 1W2) in her memory would be welcomed.

“Together We Can Be A Powerful Force of Change For Good”

he Tzu Chi Foundation is an international humanitarian organization with a local presence here in Surrey. They have chapters all over the world. The Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation, Canada, (Tzu Chi Canada) was founded in 1992 by its CEO Mr. Gary Ho under the inspiration of Dharma Master Cheng Yen. Tzu Chi Canada has been involved with the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation since 1999. They have generously donated nearly $250,000 in support of various projects at the hospital. These donations include two NICU defibrillators and a Children’s ER Isolation Room.

Most recently, Tzu Chi Canada has supported the Retinal Surgical Campaign to equip a new operating theatre at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. They funded a cryomatic machine which freezes a patient’s retina to assist in retinal surgery.

In 2014, Tzu Chi Canada opened a new office in Surrey to accommodate their expanding volunteer base and the growing needs in the Surrey community. On average, 108 volunteers provide support and local services for over 81 humanitarian projects, every day. These include the Food Bank, homeless shelters, Salvation Army, local senior residents, and social service programs. Tzu Chi Canada also funds breakfast programs at 13 different schools throughout the Lower Mainland. Additionally, over $45,000 has been donated to schools in Surrey, Delta, and Langley as bursaries to help students needing

financial assistance to participate in programs and camps.

“One of our core values,” says Tom Torng, Director of Public Relations, “is to respect all human life. The Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation helps provide the best care and the best equipment and best medicine. We are pleased to stand behind them as they continue to find ways to support their community.” – Tom Torng

Tzu Chi Canada is thrilled to support the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation because of their goal to promote education and medicine. “One of our core values,” says Tom Torng, Director of Public Relations, “is to respect all human life. The Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation helps provide the best care and the best equipment and best medicine. We are pleased to stand behind them as they continue to find ways to support their community.”

is supported by over three million volunteers worldwide - 2200 in BC alone. “Like a drop of water, one person can’t do it all,” says Tom. “But together, the drops become streams and rivers that join an ocean, consisting of millions of drops of water that become one of the most powerful forces in nature. People are like that together for a cause we can be a powerful force of change for good.”

Tom Torng, Director of Public Relations

When looking at the many needs worldwide, one can easily be overwhelmed. But Tzu Chi Canada “Tzu Chi is a value driven organization committed to humanitarian work. Our city of Surrey and the hospital are much better places because they work among us.”

Jane Adams – President, Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation.
