BUDGET FOR LRT IN SURREY CLIMBS TO $2.6 BILLION

Rose Batalia addresses the media outside B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster Monday following the sentencing of Gurjinder (Gary) Dhaliwal, who pleaded guilty to the seconddegree murder of Rose’s sister Maple Batalia.

In court, Rose told Dhaliwal that he may have taken Maple’s life, but he cannot take away her legacy.

▶ $500-MILLION JUMP IN PRICE DRIVEN IN PART

BY RISING LAND COSTS JEFF NAGEL

The price tag for Surrey’s planned Light Rail Transit (LRT) system is now estimated at $2.6 billion, up from the $2.14-billion estimate that Metro Vancouver mayors used during last year’s transit tax referendum.

The jump is due to a series of inflationary factors, from the rising costs of land and LRT vehicles, to the low Canadian dollar making imports more expensive, according to Paul Lee, rapid transit and strategic project manager for the City of Surrey.

“Land is a huge component,” Lee said, citing the rapid climb in real estate prices in the region.

“It’s a real worry. Land value is going up so fast.

If we don’t start construction until 2018, it will be another two years. You get nervous.” continued on page 5

‘DENIED’ A HAPPY LIFE ▶ MAPLE BATALIA’S LOVED ONES MAKE EMOTIONAL STATEMENTS IN COURT AS SURREY TEEN’S KILLER IS SENTENCED SHEILA REYNOLDS

A courtroom in New Westminster was filled with the sounds of sobbing Monday morning as family and friends of Surrey murder victim Maple Batalia shared how her death more than four years ago has affected their lives.

“My life feels like a burden,” said Sarbjit Batalia, Maple’s mother, wailing as she addressed the court through an

interpreter. “All the colour is lost.”

She spoke of her daughter’s happy life and how it was taken from her in a way not even an animal would be killed. She sobbed, saying she wished it was her and not her daughter who was murdered.

“Why did you kill my daughter?” she shouted through tears.

Sarbjit Batalia was the last of about a dozen people who spoke and described their immeasurable loss at the sentencing of 19-year-old Maple Batalia’s killer, ex-boyfriend Gurjinder (Gary) Dhaliwal.

On Thursday (March 3), Dhaliwal pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster to second-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend of four years. continued on page 4

Utility hikes ‘unfair,’ Surrey resident says

Rescue efforts are underway for the Old Anniedale School, at 9744 176 St. However the Neville Curtis House (below), at 5658 182 St., is slated for the wrecking ball.

▼ RATES FOR MULTI-FAMILY HOMES INCREASE BY 12.8% WHILE SINGLEFAMILY DWELLINGS SEE JUST 3.8% HIKE KEVIN DIAKIW

At least one Surrey resident is crying foul over increases to utility rates for multi-family dwellings.

The flat rate for sewer and water went up 3.8 per cent for single-family dwellings this year, but soared 12.8 per cent for stratas.

Eduardo Baena called the increases “unreasonable” and “unfair” because of the discrepancy between single-family dwellings and strata complexes.

The city says multi-family rates have increased for two reasons.

First, the average consumption by multi-family homes in Surrey rose in the last year, costing an average of $35.98 per home, or an equivalent increase of 7.7 per cent over 2014.

In addition, Metro Vancouver increases amounted to $24.02, equal to 5.1 per cent on the average dwelling. That brought the jump to $60, or 12.8 per cent per multi-family residence.

The increases, city staff say, are consistent with those being levied the city’s metered customers.

The increase in utility fees was part of the City of Surrey’s 2016 budget, which saw a 3.9-per-cent tax hike – or $70.28 for the average home worth $671,000.

In addition, Surrey is increasing a road levy by one per cent ($18.02), bringing the fee to $128 for next year.

The levy was introduced in 2007 as a temporary five-year measure. It has increased annually by one per cent since then.

In addition, the city has endorsed a 3.9-per-cent increase in fees and charges, such as business and dog licences, and recreation centre fees.

Councillor not keen on gun show Surrey is considering awarding a temporary use permit to a group looking to sell guns and ammunition at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

At least one city councillor, a former cop, is not in favour of the plan.

Coun. Dave Woods would rather not see the sale of ammunition at the B.C. Rod and Gun Show, saying it sends the wrong message.

The first event this year would run April 15-17 at the Agriplex and Show Barn at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. The city’s planning and development department recommended council approve the application for permit. continued on page 5

Historical sites under scrutiny ▼ SURREY HERITAGE ADVISORY COMMISSION WORKS TO RESCUE ANNIEDALE SCHOOL, COLLECT CASH FROM DEVELOPER OF NEVILLE CURTIS HOUSE KEVIN DIAKIW

Two Surrey heritage sites are at risk of being lost, despite the best efforts of the commission overseeing Surrey’s history.

At its Jan. 20 meeting, the eight-member Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission addressed two properties The first was by way of a request for the demolition of the Neville Curtis House at 5658 182 St. in Cloverdale. The commission opposed granting the permit and asked city staff to impose a 60-day protection order while the property was assessed.

The court heard that he shot and stabbed Maple in a parkade outside the Surrey SFU campus on Sept. 28, 2011 in a fit of jealous rage about a month after their break-up.

Maple’s father Harkirat Batalia was first to voice his loss in court Monday, saying his life now feels “useless and without purpose.”

He said he still writes cards to Maple on her birthday – March 4 – knowing his “little girl” will never come back.

“Your actions, Gary, have denied us a happy life,” Harkirat said.

The victim’s sister, Rose Batalia, said Maple was an integral part of the family and an amazing sister, daughter and friend.

“No one could love us as much as she did,” said Rose.

She said Maple not being able to attend her wedding was only one of the many dreams the

sisters had that will go unfulfilled. She then addressed Dhaliwal directly.

“Gary, you may have taken her life, but you cannot take away her legacy,” Rose said.

Several other victim impact statements were read by friends and relatives, who said they thought they knew Gary and never would have imagined him killing Maple. They spoke of Maple’s love of life and learning, as well as her compassion for others.

“Her death was like stomping on a flower right before it blooms,” said one friend.

Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence. Justice Terence Schultes set parole ineligibility at 21 years, meaning that will be the soonest Dhaliwal will be able to apply for any type of release from prison.

The judge acknowledged 21 years – which was recommended by both the Crown and defence – exceeds the

Maple Batalia

Gurjinder Dhaliwal normal range for such offences, noting such a length is generally reserved for multiple murderers.

Speaking to Maple’s killing, Schultes said it was clear a combination of poor judgment, immaturity and access to weapons “led to an incalculable loss.”

During last week’s guilty plea, Crown and defence lawyers presented an agreed statement of facts. In it, they detailed the weeks before Batalia’s murder, when Dhaliwal became obsessive. The couple had broken up in August 2011 due to Dhaliwal’s infidelity, but he did not want to end the relationship and proceeded to call and text Batalia thousands of times from different phones in the weeks that followed.

Two weeks before the murder, Dhaliwal confronted men he saw with Batalia at a nightclub and

sent her more than 300 texts that night alone.

He confronted Batalia again on Sept. 24 when she was having coffee with a male friend.

Dhaliwal tried to convince her to reconcile but the meeting ended with him pushing her to the ground. He was arrested later that day and ordered to stay away from her.

On Sept. 26, armed with a knife and a gun he obtained to confront Batalia’s male friend, he went to the SFU Surrey campus in a rented white Dodge Charger. His friend Gursimar Bedi, who is also implicated in the case, went in and saw Batalia, but not the friend, so they left.

Late on Sept. 27, the two men again drove to SFU. Dhaliwal parked and Bedi again went in and this time, saw both Batalia and her male friend. Dhaliwal, the court heard, became enraged when he saw the two hug and sat in wait in the parking lot until Maple emerged. He fired five shots, three of them striking Batalia in the torso and arm. He then slashed her on the top and back of her head.

Batalia was alive when police arrived, but succumbed to her injuries in hospital Sept. 28.

While the knife was found at the scene, the gun was not recovered, said Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen. Outside court, she said though the case against Dhaliwal was circumstantial, she credited the thorough police investigation. Stephen said police tracked down the suspect vehicle within two days of the murder and discovered a shell casing under the hood, which matched the shell casing at the scene at SFU Surrey.

Batalia’s blood was later found on the car’s headlight control and driver’s side visor.

During sentencing Monday, Stephen said the fact the murder took place in the context of an intimate domestic relationship was one of several aggravating factors.

Dhaliwal issued a short apology in court, but it was inaudible in the gallery.

His sentence also includes a lifetime weapons ban and submission of a DNA sample.

The trial for Bedi, charged with manslaughter with a firearm and being an accessory after the fact in Batalia’s murder, was set to begin Tuesday.

▶ OLD NUMBERS USED TO ‘HOODWINK’ PEOPLE: BATEMAN from page 1

The Surrey LRT project consists of 27 kilometres of street-level light rail lines radiating out of City Centre along 104 Avenue, King George Boulevard and down Fraser Highway to Langley City.

Lee also noted the $2.14-billion estimate adopted by the Mayors’ Council in 2014 was based on work done by TransLink as far back as 2012.

“That cost was very dated,” Lee said. “By the time the Mayors’ Council put it up, there were questions on it.”

He said more design work has since been done and there’s a better idea of what land acquisitions will be needed to accommodate sidewalks, landscaping and other components.

▶ SURREY RCMP

HAS NO CONCERN WITH ROD AND GUN SHOW

In some cases, Lee said, longer station platforms are now envisioned to potentially handle longer trains – increasing the land requirement.

He cautioned that project estimates are a guide for planning but final costs depend on what contractors actually bid.

“We’d rather err on the high side than get a shock in the end.”

Surrey spearheaded the project initially, first applying for federal funding in 2014.

TransLink staff are now preparing business cases for both Surrey LRT and the Broadway SkyTrain extension in Vancouver.

Lee said he expects that to be complete sometime later this year.

He hopes for a construction start as soon as early 2018.

Officials will take a

close look at project costs and consider options to reduce costs.

“We may shrink the road a bit, we may narrow the pavement a bit, we may forgo things here and there. We want to minimize the land cost,” Lee said.

The section of line on 104 Avenue will now terminate at 152 Street, he added, instead of 156 Street.

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman said the original LRT estimate wasn’t believable.

“TransLink and the mayors were using old numbers in the plebiscite to hoodwink people into voting yes,” he said.

Bateman said he’s surprised land acquisition costs are a problem.

“Part of the reason I thought they were looking at light rail was

A report from Surrey RCMP indicated “no concern and advised that all vendors and participants conform to Firearm Regulations and the Firearms Act.” Mayor Linda Hepner is in support of the event, although she feels it could have been more appropriately named.

“You know I have never been particularly enamoured of the name of that (event)

because Surrey has pretty substantial road right-of-ways.”

Bateman said he expects the Broadway subway and the Pattullo Bridge projects will also face cost increases, for similar reasons.

Metro mayors and provincial government officials hope more generous federal contributions than in the past will reduce the amount of money that must be raised locally.

The LRT project has faced steady criticism from some transit advocates who argue a SkyTrain extension in Surrey would be a better choice.

federal funding.

Topping the list is the $2.6-billion Light Rail Transit (LRT) planned for a route down Fraser Highway to Langley.

On Monday, Surrey council was expected to endorse a report of funding priorities, as it expects the federal Liberals to make good on a 2015 election promise to provide local government funding.

Surrey’s announced targets for funding are:

as the B.C. Rod and Gun Show, because any time you use the word gun, it doesn’t evoke a positive image,” Hepner said.

She noted the weapons sold at the show are for sport hunting and aren’t the types found in gun violence on Surrey streets.

Woods, the former district commander of the RCMP in Cloverdale, said he’s not a big fan of the plan.

The proposal was scheduled to go before council Monday, after The Leader’s deadline. Visit surreyleader.com for updates.

▶ MEDICAL PREMIUMS CAN BACKFIRE

With chickens comes responsibility

Re: “Time to take MSP off life support” (B.C. Views, Feb. 24).

I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on MSP premiums and it brought back to mind some research I conducted when I was at Decima Research in the late ’80s.

As is true today, there was concern people were over-using medical care, in part because they did not understand its cost.

We tested views about costs of the system and looked in particular at differences between provinces that charged premiums and those that did not.

The results were surprising. We found a significant minority of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed their premiums covered the entire cost of the health system. Far from making them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respondents thought “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenever I want?”

As is the case today, proponents of premiums argued that it would make people more sensitive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned out to be true.

▼ HEALTH MATTERS MUST ALSO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION Re: The Leader’s question of the week, “Do you like the idea of Surrey residents being able to keep chickens?”

(Vote online at surreyleader. com) Yes, the idea is good, but there is considerable responsibility that must also be considered mandatory.

I keep a bird feeder in my backyard which attracts both wanted and unwanted visitors.

Are the benefits acceptable considering the additional unwanted visitors (specifically rats)? Yes, I believe the pleasure outlays the pitfalls. Yes, I keep the bird feeder area as clean as possible.

A chicken coop must be kept clean on a regular basis. If

The last thing we need in Surrey is more well-fed rats.

My neighbour keeps rabbits in an outdoor cage. I regularly catch very well-fed rats in strategically placed traps.

I would like to know how Surrey will ensure the chickens will be well-looked after and how related health matters are enforced.

It seems Surrey has difficulty in monitoring people’s activities. Many people are totally unaware of the results of their activities or actions. Will Surrey enforcement be given this additional responsibility?

I am looking forward to hearing a rooster at the crack of dawn in the near future.

VIEWPOINT

Premiers do the carbon shuffle BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Premier Christy Clark had her dancing shoes on as yet another “climate change” meeting ended in disarray in Vancouver last week.

“This is not the end,” Clark assured reporters after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers emerged with no agreement on a national minimum carbon price.

No kidding.

Trudeau declared victory by announcing the unanimous consent to a “Vancouver Declaration,” which basically pays lip service to the concept of “carbon pricing” and kicks another grand federal election promise down the road.

As the rest headed for jets waiting at Vancouver airport, Clark expressed the hope that the public would say “they got together and they made progress.” Did they? Let’s take a look.

Going into the Whistler-Vancouver stop on Trudeau’s globe-trotting glamour tour, Clark correctly noted that it’s other provinces that need to make progress. B.C. has a clear price on carbon emissions; it’s been held at $30

a tonne since Clark succeeded its creator, Gordon Campbell.

Clark’s advice for other premiers is to follow Campbell’s example of a revenue-neutral carbon tax, offset by income tax reductions. You won’t build public support for a carbon tax that makes people poorer, she said.

Of course that’s what Alberta is doing, at a time when many residents are getting poorer already. Alberta’s NDP government plans to match the rate of B.C.’s carbon tax within two years and spend the proceeds.

Other premiers have more creative definitions for pricing carbon.

Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil pointed to transmission lines and power purchases from the Muskrat Falls dam, under construction in Labrador, to substitute hydro for coal-fired power. The highest electricity prices in Canada are their “carbon pricing” plan.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall pointed to SaskPower’s Boundary Dam carbon capture and storage project.

It is the world’s first coal-fired power

station to capture carbon dioxide after combustion. The CO2 is sold to oilfield operators who inject it into declining wells to push more oil out, and the project intends to capture sulphur dioxide and fly ash to process and sell for other industrial uses.

Wall is the only Canadian leader to state a couple of inconvenient truths.

The purpose of this exercise is to reduce carbon emissions, not to raise tax revenues. And now is the worst possible time to impose more taxes on the oil and gas industry.

Clark’s stand-pat strategy on the B.C. carbon tax is going to change this year, as positioning begins for the 2017 election. A B.C. government advisory panel has recommended a 33 per cent increase, conveniently starting in 2018, with annual increases after that.

The current seven-cent-per-litre carbon tax on gasoline sold in B.C. is hardly a deterrent these days, as pump prices have tumbled and could

stay low for years to come. And with a fragile economy, it seems unlikely that a big boost in carbon taxes will find favour with voters a year from now.

The B.C. NDP is trying to rebuild its credibility on climate policy. NDP leader John Horgan tried to revise the party’s history, claiming in year-end interviews that the NDP didn’t oppose the carbon tax, only making it revenue neutral rather than spending the money on green initiatives, as Alberta wants to do.

Alas, the NDP’s “axe the tax” campaign going into the 2009 election is a matter of record. The party’s election platform warned that Campbell’s plan “increases taxes for average families by tripling the gas tax” to its current level.

Last week the NDP issued a news release denouncing Clark for presiding over increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Fix access before closing fare gates, TransLink told JEFF NAGEL

TransLink has been ordered to find a solution that works for wheelchair-bound people with disabilities before it closes all the fare gates at SkyTrain stations.

The transportation authority said last week it intends to close all the fare gates in the first week of April.

That scenario would leave a few hundred severely disabled users who can’t physically tap out with the Compass card forced to phone in advance to have an attendant meet them to open the gates, using the same station assistance service that ensures access for the visually

impaired.

Minister responsible for TransLink Peter Fassbender said last Wednesday that’s not acceptable.

“This government has made it very clear to TransLink that before any gates are closed, solutions will be in place to ensure unfettered access for persons with disabilities,” Fassbender said in the legislature.

TransLink officials said Tuesday they were striving to find a better solution, but one wouldn’t be in place before the planned closure date of April 8.

“No person should be prevented from having appropriate access to the system,” Fassbender said in an interview.

“If they don’t come up with that then they have the responsibility to leave a gate open so that people with disabilities can have that access.”

He suggested phone apps could offer a solution to open the gates as disabled riders approach.

NDP MLA David Eby said a workable solution should have been found before now, particularly since other issues for the disabled were addressed earlier, such as gates that were initially too narrow for some wider wheelchairs.

Fassbender’s directive once again raises questions over who is in charge of key decisions at TransLink, he

added.

“Either TransLink is independent or it’s a puppet of the minister.

It’s really hard to say on a day like today,” Eby said.

“Now that we’re in this crisis moment, it’s pretty clear to everybody that the solution TransLink put forward was inadequate.”

Eby is concerned that looming deadlines to complete the project could leave TransLink on the hook for more costs with the Compass system contractor.

A delay would also mean more users paying too much if they forget to tap out when they exit SkyTrain through the still-open gate at each station.

The original directive

to add fare gates to SkyTrain came from the provincial government to end what was seen as rampant fare evasion and increase security on the transit system, with a target

Protesters gathered at the B.C. legislature last Wednesday to call for an additional increase in provincial disability assistance payments, which are due to go up this year for the first time since 2007.

The increase of $77 a month is to take effect Sept. 1, for disability assistance that now pays $906 a month for a single person.

But the program is to begin deducting $52 a month for transit passes available to people who are able to use them, and that has sparked protests.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell faced an angry Opposition in the legislature after the rally and again refused to reverse the

decision to charge for bus passes.

Stilwell said 45,000

people on disability assistance could not use a bus pass, and

When should my child visit an orthodontist?

Most specialists agree that children should pay their first visit to the orthodontist by age 7. While it may seem unnecessary if your child does not have any apparent bite or teeth alignment issues, these types of problems are not always immediately obvious, especially early on. An orthodontist will be able to identify potential orthodontic problems early, and take steps to keep them from becoming full-blown problems.

Should your child not yet be ready for treatment, the orthodontist will monitor growth and development on a regular basis.

The sooner teeth alignment and bite issues can be addressed, the better!

Man dies in police custody

Surrey Mounties are once again investigating shots fired in Newton.

On Saturday at 6:26 p.m., Surrey RCMP were called to 62 Avenue and 142 Street on a report of shots fired.

Mounties found shell casings at the scene and were advised by witnesses that two vehicles had exchanged gunfire and then took off.

Additional shell casing were found at 142 Street and 64 Avenue.

Patrols in the area subsequently located an abandoned white Ford pick-up truck that had bullet holes, which matched the description of one of the vehicles. The other vehicle was described as a smaller car.

The investigation is still in its early stages, but police say it appears that it was a targeted incident.

The weekend incident was the latest in a string of shots fired in Newton over the last two years.

It’s unclear whether the most recent incident is related to the previous ones, many of which are believed to be connected to a low-level dial-a-dope drug operation.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed Saturday’s incident or observed either vehicle leaving the area to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A man died last Wednesday after being picked up by police for causing a disturbance.

On March 2, police responded to a call of a man acting unruly in the 11600 block of 96A Avenue. He was reportedly arrested without incident, but subsequently collapsed.

He was taken to hospital, where he died.

The B.C. Coroners Service has since identified him as Marvel Woodhouse, 53, of Vancouver.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) was called in to investigate the matter. The IIO investigates all in-custody deaths.

The coroners service is investigating separately.

Surrey man charged with attempted murder in Nanaimo Two men – including one from Surrey – have been charged with attempted murder and weapons offences after a drive-by shooting in Nanaimo last Tuesday.

Police responded to calls about shots fired on March 1 at about 4 p.m. in a residential area near a children’s daycare.

Multiple shots were fired into a car occupied by one man. The man in the car was not injured.

Armaan Singh Chandi, 18, of Surrey and Inderpal Singh Aujla, 19, of Mission, were subsequently arrested and charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failing to stop for police, committing an indictable offence with face masked, discharging a firearm while being reckless, using a firearm while committing or attempting to commit attempted murder and attempted murder.

Jail for fatal 2014 crash A Washington State man has been sentenced to a year-and-a-half in prison for a crash that killed a Surrey woman in 2014.

Derek Gary Tiemersma, then 22, was driving his truck north of Lynden, WA, on Sept. 27, 2014 when he ran a stop sign and struck a motorcycle carrying Michael Caldwell and Beverly Raginski, both from Surrey. The couple was thrown from the bike.

Raginski, 62, died in hospital, while Caldwell, who had been driving the motorcycle, suffered severe injuries and broken bones.

Tiemersma was charged with vehicular homicide and vehicular assault, but pleaded guilty last month to the lesser charges of manslaughter in the second degree, reckless driving and hit-and-run of attended property.

He was sentenced March 3 in Whatcom County Superior Court. His prison sentence will be followed by 18 months probation.

Panthers pleased with fourth at provincials ▼ BEST-EVER FINISH FOR LORD TWEEDSMUIR’S SENIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM RICK KUPCHUK

In the end, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers had nothing left to give.

After advancing to the final four of the B.C. Secondary Schools Girls AAA Basketball Championships, the Panthers lost two in a row and placed fourth at the 16-team tournament at the Langley Events Centre.

Tweedsmuir was eliminated from championship contention with a semifinal loss to the R.A. McMath Wildcats 72-52 Friday night, then lost a playoff for third place 10283 to the Oak Bay Breakers.

But Panthers head coach Curtis McRae insisted there were no regrets from the way the tournament – and their season – came to an end.

“We’re incredibly proud, we couldn’t have asked for more from the kids. For us, it’s been a fantastic year,” he said. “We had a couple of key injuries and a super short bench, but we work hard, we try to run and try to battle. continued on page16

Their first-round playoff series wasn’t much of a test for the Valley West Hawks.

The BC Hockey Major Midget League team hammered the Vancouver Canadians 8-1 and 9-2, sweeping their best-of-three series and moving on to the final four next weekend.

“Our best players were our best players and we had contributions throughout the lineup,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, explaining the one-sided result.

Valley West will host either the Vancouver Chiefs or Okanagan Rockets in the semifinal round. The Chiefs played the Vancouver Giants in the third game of their series Monday night, after The Leader press deadline, and will play the Hawks with a win.

Valley West took a while to hit their stride in Saturday’s win at the Sungod Arena in North Delta. But Bobby Russell and Oliver Alcock scored in the opening period to give the home team Ilijah Colina of the Valley West Hawks scored four goals in two a 2-0 lead after 20 playoff games last weekend. minutes, and the Hawks dominatFILE PHOTO ed the final two periods.

“Our opening shift was dominant. We generated three grade-A scoring chances right off puck drop,” said Leung. “But we couldn’t maintain the intensity and had to turn to (goalie Nic) Tallarico to hold down the fort while we sorted ourselves out.”

Justyn Gurney and Ben Evanish added to the Hawks goal total in the second period, which ended with Valley West up 4-1. The Hawks got goals from Ilijah Colina, Evanish, Nichael Farren and Luka Burzan in the third period. Burzan also had three assists.

“We were relentless down the stretch,” said Leung.

“They (Canadians) were able to skate with us for two periods before it came crashing down for them.”

Sunday’s win was never in doubt. Valley West struck for two goals in the first three minutes of play, and led 3-1 after one period before burying the Canadians with six goals in the second. continued on page 16

On the speed skating

Tardi wins gold in Norway NICK GREENIZAN

Cloverdale curler Tyler Tardi stuck gold once at the Youth Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway – and very nearly claimed a second medal.

In the mixed curling event, Tardi’s rink – which also included Mary Fay, Karlee Burgess and Sterling Middleton – cruised past the rest of the field, going undefeated in round-robin play, before winning both quarter-final and semifinal games.

In the championship contest, Tardi’s Canadian squad defeated the U.S. 10-4.

“Representing Canada at the Youth Olympics, it’s an unbelievable feeling. I don’t know what to say about it, it’s just an incredible feeling,” Tardi said.

Later during the Olympic tournament, Tardi – and teammate Honoka Sasaki of Japan – nearly scooped a bronze medal in the mixed doubles tournament.

Tardi and Sasaka had a strong run through the tournament, but fell short in the bronze-medal game, losing 10-1 to Ruiyi Zhao (China) and Andreas Haarstad (Norway) to finish fourth overall.

“We had a lot of fun out there and are pretty happy with how we did,” he said. “We just had the wrong side of the inch a couple of times, ticking guards a few times, and they were making a ton of shots. They really deserved (the win).”

oval, Surrey’s Scott Coons won silver in the 2,000m boys under-14 points race, and bronze in the 400m.

Surrey athletes also fared extremely well in gymnastics, taking home a slew of medals in a variety of events.

Kennedy Duke, competing in the female Level 8 division, had a big weekend, winning gold in the vault, and silver on balance beam en route to a silver allaround medal.

Amelia Van Andel also won gold on the uneven bars in the same division. Lowri Robinson, in the female Level 7 class, won silver in the vault, while Alexa Slipec nabbed a silver medal in the female Level 8 balance beam.

Duke, Van Andel,

Robinson and Hannah Volpe also won gold medals in female team competition.

Delta’s Astarte Garnett and Olivia Hood were on the Zone 5 (Vancouver-Coastal) team which won the bronze medal in the female team category.

Garnett also won gold medals in female Level 7 vault, uneven bars, floor exercise and all around, adding a silver medal on balance beam. Ava Groves earned a bronze medal in female Level 8 floor exercise.

Brady Reeleder, in male Level 3, won gold on the pommel horse and silver on the parallel bars to finish second in the all-around competition.

In the male team event, Surrey’s Timofey

Azhogin and Dylan Hehr won gold medals with Fraser Valley, while Arthur Yamaleev of Delta won a bronze medal with Vancouver-Coastal.

In archery, Surrey sharpshooter Elissa Foley won a pair of gold medals, to round out the city’s medal haul.

In addition to individual medals, Surrey and North Delta athletes were part of a number of medal-wining teams.

In badminton, the Fraser River zone won gold in boys doubles (Daniel Yang and Surrey’s Sheldon Xu) and silver in girls doubles

(Surrey’s Sophini Purewal). Yang, Xu and Purewall were also on the mixed team which also won gold. Delta’s Wenjun Ouyang earned a silver medal in mixed team competition with the Vancouver-Coastal team, and won gold in singles boys.

Liam Purgavie of Surrey was on the Fraser Valley team which won gold in boys curling.

Three local athletes won medals in female curling. Bailey Burke of Surrey was on the Zone 3 team which won a gold medal, Elizabeth Bowles of Delta curled for the

Zone 5 team which won silver, while Kylie Karoway and Sarah Loken of Surrey were on the Zone 4 team which took the bronze medal.

Delta players Regan Burrows, Samantha Friesen, Gabriella Isaak, Caitlin Lawrence, Danielle Needham, Elise Piovesan, Lauren Aunier and Nicole Sparrow won a bronze medal for the Vancouver-Coastal ringette team.

Losses knock Giants out of WHL playoff race

▶ VANCOUVER LOSES TWICE TO BOTH COUGARS, ROYALS RICK KUPCHUK

The Vancouver Giants are looking ahead to next season, after four losses in as many starts last week has eliminated the Western Hockey League

(WHL) team from the playoff race.

The Giants were swept 5-4 in a shootout and 2-1 in a two-game series Mar. 1-2, then lost 5-1 and 7-3 in a home-andhome series with the Victoria Royals on the weekend.

Now at 23-37-5-3 (win-loss-overtime loss-shootout loss), the Giants are 15

points out of a playoff position with four games remaining.

Their only point of the week came in their first game against the Cougars in Prince George last Tuesday night. Vancouver took a 4-3 lead into the third period on goals by Alec Baer, Ty Ronning, Ben Thomas and Taylor Crunk.

IT’S GAME DAY! FRIDAY MARCH 11 PUCK DROPS 7:30PM

The Cougars tied the game with 16 minutes to play, then scored the only goal in the shootout, which saw six skaters from each team participate.

Ryan Kubic was in goal for the Giants, stopping 22 shots.

Vancouver took 22 shots at the Prince George goal.

One night later, Radovan Bondra scored the only Giants goal of the game, a powerplay marker with 11 minutes remaining which pulled the visitors to within one of the Cougars.

Prince George outshot Vancouver 39-25, with Jake Morrisey in goal for the Giants.

Morrisey got the start again Friday at the Pacific Coliseum, and blocked 27 of 32 shots. Trevor Cox of surrey scored the only goal for the Giants, while North Delta native Dante Hannoun netted three for the Royals.

Playing in Victoria Saturday night, the Giants scored first on a goal from Owen Hardy just 80 seconds into the game. But Vancouver trailed 3-2 after one period and

Surrey native Trevor Cox of the Vancouver Giants earned his 300th WHL point Saturday night in Victoria. CJ RELKE PHOTO 4-3 after two. Victoria scored three unanswered goals in the third period.

Thomas Foster and Ronning scored the other two goals, with

▶ A ‘PHENOMENAL SEASON’ FOR PANTHERS from page 14

VS

Cox assisting on both.

His first helper of the game was the 300th point in Cox’ five-year WHL career.

The Giants will play twice next weekend,

“But the girls just gassed out a bit.”

Lord Tweedsmuir finished second to the eventual provincial champion Brookswood Bobcats at the Fraser Valley tournament, then began the provincial championship with an 80-56 win over the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs and a 79-76 quarterfinal victory over the Riverside Rapids.

After the semifinal loss Friday night, the Panthers found themselves up against a difficult Oak Bay team in Saturday’s game.

“There was quite a size differential in this game, they have four girls that are six foot-plus, and our tallest girl is five-11,” said McRae. “But you know what, we battled hard and we worked and that’s all we can ask.”

McRae also noted it was the first time in school history the team had reached the final four of a provincial tournament.

“It’s been a phenomenal season for us. We placed second at the Fraser Valleys, and this was the first time our school had been to the semifinal of triple-A girls provincials.”

Ali Norris was a first-team all-star, and teammate Maryn Budiman was named to there second team. Shelvin Grewal was an honorable mention.

Norris is one of just three Grade 12s on the Panthers team, which has McRae looking ahead to next season.

“We fully expect to be back here again next year,” he said.

“Our junior girls program has a great team that lost in the semifinals as well, so we’ve got four or five real quality girls who are going to come up and join almost our entire (senior) team.”

The Panorama Ridge Thunder placed seventh, exceeding expectations. The Surrey school was seeded 13th, but surprised the fourth-seed Kelowna Owls 63-61 on the first day of play.

They then fell 76-69 to Oak Bay in the quarterfinal round, lost

to the Claremont Spartans in their first consolation game before closing out their week with a 78-71 win over the Abbotsford Panthers.

Savannah Dhaliwal of the Thunder scored 28 points in the final game against Abbotsford, and was given an honourable mention on the all-star team.

The Holy Cross Crusaders qualified for the Senior AA provincial tournament, and won two of four games to place seventh.

The Fraser Valley champions were the seventh-seed for the tournament, and won their first game 73-62 over the Brittannia Bruins. The Crusaders then lost two in a row, 78-66 to the second-seed Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna and 63-58 to sixth-seed Nechako Valley of Vanderhoof. On Saturday afternoon, Holy Cross got 35 points from Maria Palmegiani in a 64-48 win over the G.W. Graham Grizzlies in a rematch of the Fraser Valley final.

Palmegiani was a second-team all-star.

▶ COLINA NETS A HAT TRICK FOR HAWKS from page 14

“We had another great start, relentless from puck drop,” said Leung.

Colina had a hat trick for the Hawks, with James Malm adding two goals and three assists. Russell, Gurney, Burzan and Josh Bruce completed the scoring. Burzan collected anoth-

er three assists, with Evanish and Mitch Savage earning two each.

The Hawks will host the first game of the best-of-three semifinal Friday at 8 p.m. in the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre. The second game is at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night in the South Surrey Arena, with a third game (if necessary) Sunday at 3 p.m., also in South Surrey.
