JEFF NAGEL
Some Metro Vancouver mayors are willing to cut or eliminate the Transit Police service to redirect money to expand core bus service.
But others say chopping cops is a bad strat-egy to deal with TransLink’s cash crunch after voters defeated a 0.5 per cent sales tax for
transit expansion.“It’s worth looking at,” White Rock Mayor
Wayne Baldwin said. “It is expensive. And quite frankly, I haven’t seen much benefi t from it.”
Baldwin said what he has noticed is a precipi-tous drop in community shuttle service in White Rock, from 30-minute frequency to every hour.
He suggested the system could get by with attendants to conduct fare checks and assist passengers rather than much more costly armed police offi cers.
Th e Transit Police last year cost $34 million, $2.2 million higher than expected because a new collective agreement gave offi cers retroactive pay hikes to 2011.
Th at amount of money could fund a signifi -cant jump in regular bus service.
For comparison, it would have taken $59 mil-lion a year under the mayors’ plan to deliver the proposed 25 per cent lift in overall bus service, or $28 million per year to add the 11 new B-Line express bus routes that were proposed.
But any cut to Transit Police would also mean fewer police boots on the ground and more pressure on local detachments at a time when Surrey, in particular, is desperate to add more offi cers.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council, said a couple of mayors have raised the idea of cutting the Transit Police but stressed it’s not one she is advocating.
“I have no idea what that would do to the system,” she said.
Th e force has 167 sworn offi cers and another 67 civilian staff .
Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay fears front-line municipal police would be sucked away to patrol the new Evergreen Line through his city once it opens next year if the Transit Police were cut.
“Th at’s just a shell game to me,” Clay said. “Somebody’s going to have to do the policing, so you’re just moving money around.”
Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said he’s not in a position to judge whether the policing service levels justify their cost, but added safety on the system is important.
“I know that before we had Transit Police there was a lot of concern in the community about the safety of the system, especially in evenings.”
Moore, Hepner and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robert-son all met with Transportation Minister Todd Stone last week to search for a solution to increase bus service and build new rapid transit lines. But Moore described it as a preliminary discussion to ensure the province is a “willing partner” in fi nding a solution after the plebiscite outcome thwarted a quick expansion of the system.
Also getting an audience with Stone was Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, who pitched the idea of cuts to the Transit Police as part of a broader core review for TransLink.
Th e leader of the referendum “no” campaign said offi cers are highly paid but two-thirds of their fi les are ticketing fare evaders.
“Th ey’re just glorifi ed fare checkers,” Bateman said. “Th e idea is that you scrap the force, spend half the money and get twice as many transit security offi cers, while you sock away those savings to spend on something else.”
However the force does more than check fares, highlight-ing in its annual report its eff orts to catch sexual predators, prevent bus driver assaults and manage major events when thousands of boozy revelers fl ood onto transit.
It’s also long been argued that fare checks help bust dan-gerous criminals who would otherwise be undetected.
Last year, Transit Police arrested more than 960 criminals wanted under warrants by police elsewhere or for breaching court-ordered conditions.
Bateman said that argument should get weaker, as-suming TransLink succeeds in fully activating its delayed Compass card payment system.
“Th eoretically, when you add Compass card and the fare-gates are in operation, you’d assume that fare evasion on SkyTrain would drop fairly dramatically.”
TransLink interim CEO Doug Allen defended the force’s service as “excellent” but added he’s aware of concerns about the cost.
“We are constantly looking for ways to improve the ser-vice and extract effi ciencies,” Allen said in an emailed statement.
SFU criminology professor Rob Gordon said it would not make sense to scrap the Transit Police unless a new regional police force was being created.
Gordon argues transit cops are a logical way to cover the growing regional transit net-work that crosses multiple municipal boundaries.

Ed Griffi n, the powerhouse behind the Surrey International Writers Conference, has died.
Griffi n, who had been battling cancer and had recently had a stroke, died from complications of the latter event on Th ursday night at Surrey Memorial Hospital.
A former priest, American city councillor and social worker, Griffi n also had a deep passion for writing.
In the early 1990s, he went to a writers conference in Seattle and thought Surrey could easily support such an event.
In 1993, he started the fi rst Surrey International Writers Conference (SiWC). With about 100 people showing up to the fi rst year’s event, the numbers grew steadily and now amount to thousands.
It is now one of the most popular writers conferences in North America.
Once that was off the ground, Griffi n focused on his own writing career.
In 2001, he completed his fi rst book, Beyond the Vows. Th e main protagonist, JP Lacey, is a priest confl icted by his calling and a world mired in injustice. Th at priest was based on Grif-fi n’s life.
For almost a decade prior to writing that book, he was going to Matsqui Prison to teach inmates the art of writing. He also convinced SiWC speaker and renowned author Diana Gabaldon to do the same.
Griffi n went on to write a popular hit Prisoners of Willowaw, about 300 prisoners released onto Adak Island, in the Aleutians off Alaska. Be-sides being a rich description with well-developed characters, Griffi n managed to use it as a critique of our current prison system.
Griffi n once said if there’s a theme to his life and his books, it’s a fi ght for social justice.
Th e family is planning a party in his honour, as per Griffi n’s wishes. A date and place has not yet been chosen.
He is survived by his wife Kathleen, son Kevin, daughter Kerry and sister Joy. Griffi n was 78.

Critics say Metro Vancouver’s Transit Police primarily conduct fare checks that could be performed more economically by attendants other than armed officers. FILE PHOTO

A job posting indicates the next TransLink CEO is to be off ered the same $319,000 base salary as
former CEO Ian Jarvis, as well as other identical benefi ts, including a contentious bonus that was supposed to have been scrapped.
But it’s unclear wheth-er the transportation authority’s board can actually hire a new CEO at that salary without
the approval of Metro Vancouver mayors, who have indicated before they want to reduce executive compensation levels.
Th e July 23 posting to WorkBC on behalf of TransLink by executive search fi rm Boyden lists a base salary for the new CEO of $319,244 plus an annual bonus of up to 30 per cent more, as well as a pension and
benefi ts package that in-cludes a $14,400 trans-portation allowance, $2,500 annual wellness allowance, a $1,200 parking allowance and a relocation allowance, if necessary.
“Th e same perks. Th e same old benefi ts. Th e same expensive salary. Th e same expensive bo-nus system,” said Jordan Bateman of the Cana-dian Taxpayers’ Federa-tion. “It’s like these guys have learned nothing from the plebiscite that people want executive pay reduced.”
Metro mayors were supposed to gain control over executive pay levels as part of the last reform of TransLink’s legislation unveiled by Transportation Minister Todd Stone in 2014.
But that had already become a bone of con-tention by January of this year – before Jarvis was replaced – with mayors complaining they were permitted only to accept or reject recommendations that would come to them following an executive compensation review by a consultant, rather than simply defi ning the re-duced pay structure they
were willing to accept.Fast forward six
months and the TransLink board still has not sent a recommended executive compensation plan to the mayors’ council for approval.
White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he was “stunned” to see the pay off er in the posting and did not see how TransLink’s board could off er any specifi c salary to a prospective CEO when they don’t know if it will be vetoed by the mayors.
“To me it’s a huge mistake and it’s outra-geous,” Baldwin said. “It seems like they’re set-ting themselves up for a huge confrontation with the mayors’ council.”
Baldwin said he believes the TransLink board is trying to hire a new CEO before any new executive com-pensation limits are approved so the new po-sition is grandfathered in and not subject to any reduction.
He said he doesn’t believe other mayors would approve anything other than a cut from current executive pay levels.
“I’m not sure how this is going to play out,” Baldwin said. “Th is is the province’s doing. Th ey set it up. Th ey should have thought of this.”
Both Bateman and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore believed that TransLink had agreed to scrap executive bonuses three years ago and questioned why the posting included annual bonuses of up to 30 per cent.
“Th at raises question marks to me on what they’ve done versus what they’ve presented there (in the posting),” Moore said.
A previously imposed ban by the province on the payment of bonuses within government or in Crown corporations ex-empted TransLink and BC Ferries, and while TransLink eliminated

short-term bonuses for other executives, it con-tinued paying long-term bonuses to Jarvis.
“If we’re replacing executives including the top job and we’re going to put them in place under the old compen-sation scheme, that doesn’t make any sense,” Bateman said. “Th ere’s an opportunity here with so many empty slots in the executive suite, we could actually rejig the compensation structure in one fell swoop. It concerns me that the TransLink board’s going to fritter that away.”
TransLink spokes-man Chris Bryan said the future executive compensation structure is being discussed by the board but declined to comment on whether a new CEO could be hired without mayors’ signing off on the pay.
“Th at’s a discussion that’s with the board and is an ongoing con-versation,” he said. “We have a good group of candidates for the posi-tion of the CEO and the process is continuing.”
Minister Stone has not committed to any
governance reform at TransLink, and has instead stressed the importance of recruiting the right new CEO.
Stone said in an emailed statement he expects the compen-sation paid to the next CEO to be “signifi cantly less” than before and urged TransLink’s board to adopt provincial guidelines on bonus payments.
Surrey Mayor Linda
Hepner, who sits on the TransLink board as a vice-chair of the mayors’ council, declined com-ment, referring ques-tions to acting board chair Barry Forbes.
“It needs to be a competitive salary,” Moore said, adding the challenge with compar-ing TransLink to other transit authorities is there is nothing similar in North America.
When Jarvis was
removed as CEO in February but kept on at the same pay as a consultant to avoid a big severance payout, interim CEO Doug Allen took over for six months at pay of $35,000 a month.
Allen leaves in August and the CEO duties will be taken up on an interim basis by chief fi nancial offi cer Cathy McLay, whose base salary is $296,866.

Surrey – after much foot dragging – decided it actual-ly did want additional police offi cers and contracted with the RCMP to provide them.
While there may be confusion with regards to the number of new “boots on the ground,” it appears to this reader that the city’s expectation was that these offi cers would materialize almost immediately.
How? From where?Does Surrey expect the RCMP
to take these 100 offi cers from current, existing duties across the rest of Canada?
Th ere are no RCMP offi cers waiting on a shelf somewhere, and there never will be.
Th ey have to be recruited and trained. Once recruited, a cadet
will be assigned to a troop of 32 cadets and begin a 24-week Cadet Training Program, so just the training alone at “Depot” in Regina takes six months. And not all recruits make it.
Can we be realistic on this issue, or is this something else Harper can be blamed for? (Rhetorical question, I hope.)
Mac Savage, Surrey
One of the rituals of life in south-ern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items.
Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price diff erence generated by our “supply manage-ment” system.
Th e recent slide in the Canadian dol-lar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacifi c Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world.
Canada uses tariff s of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people.
Th e industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that re-
ducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. Th e recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection.
Th e Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement.
It’s an issue to watch as the fed-eral election heats up. Th e NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacifi c Partnership.
Th e trend toward freer trade is broad and long. Th e Harper govern-ment ended the monopoly of the
Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariff s come off Korean import vehi-cles, and life goes on.
Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. Th at’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacifi c Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.
Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. Th is is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fi r logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washing-ton state has climbed above $100.
Th e U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in gen-eral, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production.
Indeed, this whole protection appa-
ratus is designed to stimulate domes-tic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. Th e main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills.
Th e coastal industry has maintained that profi ts from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C.
With Pacifi c trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more diffi cult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price deter-mination.”
B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a back-ward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class.

Re: Tom Fletcher’s column “Latest Nestle protest doesn’t hold water” (The Leader, July 22).
Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/Water-Wealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.
As a representative of The WaterWealth Project, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conver-sation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about – primary among them
being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented.
The review of rental rates under the act, that the peti-tion sought and that the prov-ince promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first ma-jor update of B.C. water law in over a century.
Perhaps Mr. Fletcher over-looked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 cat-egories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge.

A court has rejected a defence that Surrey’s Gloria Zerbinos can’t be found criminally responsible for the stabbing death of her mother.
Zerbinos, 30, is on trial for the sec-ond-degree murder of her 43-year-old mother, Panagiota “Yota” Zerbinos.
Justice Frits Verhoeven combed over the fi ndings of two doctors as well as the testimony of police and witness-es to come to his conclusion in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster Th ursday.
To determine that she was not criminally responsible due to mental defect, Verhoeven had to fi nd that she was mentally ill, and incapable of telling right from wrong at the time of the off ence.
“(Th ere’s) no objective evidence she did not have the capacity to under-stand her actions,” Verhoeven told the court. “I’m not satisfi ed that she is not criminally responsible.”
Zerbinos had claimed on several occasions that men were sneaking into
her room and using chloroform on the family and “pimping” her and her son.
According to her claims, they were gaining access to the room from the closet and through electrical outlets.
While psychiatrists agreed there was some sort of delusional abnormality present, there is no proof it was active at the time of the killing. In fact, witness testimony indicated Zerbinos appeared controlled following the stabbing.
“Witnesses said she was calm at the time and she showed no sign of being upset,” Verhoeven said.
He noted that raised doubt that she was experiencing psychosis at the time. He also pointed to a long history of acrimony toward her mother.
“She and her mother argued fre-quently,” Verhoeven said. “At the time of her death, she (Yota) was afraid of being alone with her daughter.”
Nonetheless, she went to her daugh-ter’s basement suite, near 88 Avenue and 148A Street, to drop off clean laundry on Nov. 8, 2012. Panagiota was found under a blanket with 24 stab wounds and a knife sticking out of her chest. Her daughter was arrest-ed two days later at the No. 5 Orange strip club in Vancouver.
Th e trial is scheduled to continue Aug. 6.

Surrey Mounties are asking for public help in fi nding the suspect believed responsible for an attack on a security guard.
On June 25 at about 2 a.m., Surrey RCMP re-sponded to a report of a robbery outside an apart-ment complex in the 10500 block of 132 Street.
An on-duty securi-ty guard said he was approached by a light-skinned black male, who asked to use his fl ash-light to help him fi nd his keys.
Th e security guard handed his fl ashlight to the suspect, who then used the fl ashlight to assault and rob the secu-rity guard of his wallet and cell phone.
Th e security guard was treated in hospital and released.
Th e security guard was able to provide a good

Low water levels and warming temperatures have prompted the prov-ince to ban angling in most streams and smaller rivers across the South Coast region.
Th e unusual conditions make fi sh vulnerable and the closures are required to protect stocks, according to provincial government offi cials.
Th e closures cover all of the wildlife management units south of Toba Inlet, including the Lower Main-land, with the exception of unit 2-1, which is Manning Park east of the Skagit River.
Fishing is still allowed in lakes and reservoirs, and there are also exemp-tions for the mainstem sections of the Fraser, the Chilliwack-Vedder, Har-rison, Lillooet, Squamish (non-tidal), Pitt (non-tid-al), Elaho, Cheakamus, Capilano and Mamquam rivers.
Th e move comes after last
week’s declaration of Level 4 drought conditions in southwestern B.C.
Angling closures were previously declared for southern Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and parts of the South Okanagan, as well as the Horsefl y River in the Cariboo.
Exempted rivers as well as other key angling streams are being moni-tored by fi sheries biologists and could be closed as well, if necessary.
Fish kills and strandings have already been report-ed at some streams in the Interior.

Th e loonie’s swoon is prompting more B.C. residents to rethink plans to vacation in the U.S., according to a new poll.
Th e Insights West online survey found 57 per cent of B.C. respondents said they’re more likely to vacation in this province and 53 per cent said they’ll make fewer trips to the U.S. than usual.
Seventeen per cent said they have al-ready cancelled a planned trip to the U.S.
Th e loonie sank last week below 77 cents U.S., a new low for the year following a 10-cent plunge last winter as oil prices fell.
Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said the declining Canadian dollar has either
a signifi cant or medium eff ect on their travel plans.
SFU business professor Lindsay Mere-dith said he’s not surprised by the trend of Canadians staying home and said he expects more Americans will come north as they realize their greenback goes far-ther here.
“Tourism is the big winner out of this, no question about it,” Meredith said. “Th e big losers are the Canadian consumers.”
Th e dollar dove after the Bank of Canada cut its interest rate in response to sagging economic growth, which also prompted a recalculation that the federal government is actually heading for a $1-billion defi cit this year, rather than a budget surplus.
“It adds more gas to the fi re because the imports are much more expensive, so you’ve just shorted the Canadian pay cheque again,” he said.
“My prediction is we’ll go to 70 cents.”

Record hot Pacifi c Ocean temperatures that have degrad-ed the marine food supply since the fall of 2013 are likely to hurt B.C. salmon returns not just this summer but for the next one to three years.
Th at’s the prediction of Ian Perry, an ocean scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
He said the eff ects may be rela-tively minor this summer – with returning sockeye salmon that are only slightly thinner or smaller than usual – but worse over the
next few years.Th at’s because the sockeye now
returning experienced relatively normal temperatures when they fi rst headed out to sea as juve-niles in early 2013.
Unusual weather patterns that year meant there wasn’t the nor-mal deep mixing of ocean layers in the northeast Pacifi c and the surface temperatures got steadily warmer.
Th e water in the Gulf of Alaska was three degrees above normal by January 2014 and there were record hot temperatures last summer.
Th e runs that will return from 2016 to 2018 will likely have faced longer exposure to hot ocean temperatures, which result in poor, less nutritious plankton
for salmon to feed on, and can also bring more predator fi sh north to devour salmon.
“Th e juvenile salmon coming out of the river this spring in 2015 are coming into an environ-ment that is very diff erent from what they’ve normally evolved to,” Perry said.
“We anticipate this is going to aff ect their growth and their survival. And we expect there will be fewer numbers of them coming back in the next one to three years.”
Th e sockeye that survive the ocean to make their spawning run this year will face the danger of hot river temperatures and low fl ows.
Federal habitat research biolo-gist David Patterson said record
high water temperatures are being measured throughout the Fraser River system.
He said the water is 4.5 degrees hotter than normal at Hope – an “exceptional deviation from the norm.”
Hot rivers make it harder for salmon to migrate upstream, re-produce and recover from fi shery capture, and make them more susceptible to disease.
Patterson said the biggest prob-lem is often that low fl ows and hot water force salmon to hole up in unsuitable areas, and if they wait too long, water levels may drop further in their eventual spawning grounds, reducing the available habitat.
Although nearly seven million Fraser River sockeye are pro-
jected, large numbers could die before they spawn.
Chinook ban extended
DFO has extended a ban on sport fi shing for chinook salmon for an extra two weeks due to low levels of early Stuart sockeye and adverse conditions, said Jeff Grout, regional salmon resource manager. Th at ban is in eff ect ev-erywhere downstream of Mission until July 31.
“We’re taking a cautious man-agement approach to how we manage our fi sheries,” Grout said.
He said that may mean fi shing restrictions or bans later in the season even as more abundant pink salmon arrive.

BLACK PRESS
A twelve-year-old singer from Surrey has
been awarded the 2015 Junior Vocalist of the World at the 19th-an-nual World Champi-onship of Performing Arts competition held July 10-19 in Long Beach, California.
Ethan David, took the top prize over about 200 singers in his age group from
across the globe.At fi rst his parents
told him the cost for him to compete was too expensive, but the young boy was not deterred.
For the last six months, David sold chocolates door to door along with collecting bottles and performing
fundraising concerts in order to raise the nearly $8,000 needed to travel to the compe-tition with his parents as part of 13-member Canadian team.
“Down to fi nals, they only picked fi ve (com-petitors) so I really got nervous there ‘cause I never thought I would get to the fi nals,” he said “to all of you who feel that your dreams are not possible, think again.”
David is set to per-form in the Philippines next month and is working with a U.S.-based music producer.
His fi nal perfor-mance of the show can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INns7VMZv0g

Bringing gaming to life
A new room-escape facility has opened in Surrey – the fi rst-ever in the city – off ering themed rooms that give participants a “real-life gaming experience.”
Proponents behind E-Exit, located at 106-15345 Hwy. 10, describe it as “the ultimate playground,” where two to 10 players work together to gather clues, solve riddles and unlock secret paths in order to escape a room within 45 minutes. Th emed rooms include an antique museum, a military base, “Cabin 13”, and a psychiatric unit.
Other E-Exits are located in Richmond, Vancouver and Kelow-na.
The Victoria Eagles took advantage a strong pitching staff to win their best-of-three playoff series with the North Delta Blue Jays in the minimum two games.
The Blue Jays fell 4-0 and 3-1 in the provincial capital Saturday, and were eliminated from the B.C. Premier Base-ball League (PBL) playoffs.
The Eagles sent two of the top pitchers in the league against North Delta, com-bining to hold the Jays to just seven hits and one run over the two games.
Ethan Skuija got the start in the first game, after a regular season that saw him tie for second in the PBL with nine wins, and rank third with a 1.39 earned run average and sixth with 65 strikeouts.
The Jays managed just two hits off of Skuija. He earned the shutout by giving up just one walk while striking out three Blue Jays. Only four Blue Jays managed to get on base, with three double plays by Victoria keeping North Delta from getting a runner to third base.
Daniel Gosselin pitched five innings as the Jays starter, allowing the three
earned runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five Eagles batters in five innings.
Victoria scored all the runs they need-ed in the top of the third inning, scoring twice on a single and a pair of doubles for a 2-0 lead. They stretched their advantage to 3-0 in the seventh, adding another run on a single and a double, both with two-out.
North Delta did their best to extend their season in the bottom of the sev-enth against Eagles pitcher Fynn Ches-ter, who was fifth in the regular season with a 1.78 ERA.
Matt Gillen got on base on a two-out error, and moved to second when Dylan Dahl drew a walk. Mackenzie Marquis
then singled to score Gillen and move Dahl to third, but the next batter flied out to right field to end the game, the series and the season.
Tyler Hoefer pitched the final game for North Delta, allowing nine hits without a walk. He struck out five batters and gave up three earned runs over seven innings pitched.
Marquis was the top batter for North Delta, going three-for-four and driving in the lone Blue Jays run.
A first-round playoff loss after a 21-13 (win-loss) regular season was a step for-ward for the North Delta team.
A year ago, the Blue Jays were 17-30 in league play, and didn’t qualify for the playoffs.

Th e B.C. Premier Baseball League playoff s lasted the minimum for the Whalley Chiefs.
Coming off a 21-23 regular season, the Chiefs were on Vancouver Island to play the 29-15 Nanaimo Pirates in a best-of-three quarterfi nal series.
Th e Pirates eliminated the Chiefs in straight games Saturday, winning a close 2-1 decision in the fi rst before completing the sweep with a 7-2 victory in the second, eliminating the need for a deciding game Sunday.
Whalley’s best chance to get a victory, and at a minimum extend the series to Sunday, came in the fi rst game. Isaac Greer threw a solid two-hitter for the Chiefs, allowing one earned run on two hits and four walks while striking out nine Nanai-mo batters.
Th e two Nanaimo hits came in the bottom of the fi fth inning, when a single and a double scored the game-winning run.
Th e Pirates took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fi rst inning, putting a man on base with a two-out error,
then allowing him to score on a sec-ond miscue.
Th e Chiefs tied the score in the third inning. Brenden Gerbert hit a lead-off single, moved to second on a base hit by Matt Legg, then scored on a single buy Lucas Soper.
Pirates pitching and a six-run fourth inning decided the second game and send Nanaimo into the PBL’s Final Four playoff next week-end.
Th e home team held a slim 1-0 lead going into the fourth, when they sent 11 batters to the plate and scored the half-dozen runs on a single, two doubles, a triple and a walk.
Th e only two Chiefs runs came in the bottom of the sixth, when Lach-lan Hunter scored on a sacrifi ce fl y by Lichel Hirakawa-Kao and Legg was force home when Zach Chaba drew a bases loaded walk.
Despite bowing out of the play-off s in straight games, the Chiefs improved over the previous season when they went 18-30 in league play and missed the playoff s by two games.

Adam Svensson had a successful four days at the RBC Canadian Open in Oakville, Ontario last weekend, scoring eight-under par to fi nish in a tie for 34th place.
It was the fi rst PGA Tour event for the 21 year-old as a profession-al. Th e Surrey golfer has competed in the past two Canadian Open
championships as an amateur, missing the cut both times.
Sevensson struggled on the front nine of Sunday’s fi nal round, fi nishing two-over with a pair of bogeys. After a third bogey on the par four 10th hole, he re-covered to post back-to-back birdies on the 13th and 14th holes, adding another on the par-fi ve 16th hole to get back to even-par on the day.
He closed out the tournament with his fourth birdie in the fi nal six hole, sinking a six-foot putt on the
par-fi ve 18th hole for a one-under score of 71. He earned $28,669 in prize money.
“I had a good week,” Svensson said. “I had a lot of fun. It was my fi rst PGA Tour event as pro, so I can’t complain.”
After a solid 69 Th urs-day, Svensson struggled at times Friday and shot a one-over par 73 which included fi ve bogeys and four birdies, making the cut by one stroke.
His best round came Saturday, when he birdied three of the fi rst four holes and went on to card a 67, fi nishing
the day tied for 25th at seven-under.
As an odd number of golfers made the cut, Svensson played the third round without a playing partner, golfi ng alone for all 18 holes.
“It was a little bit weird the fi rst couple of holes,” Svensson told Canadian Press after Saturday’s round. “But I kind of got used to it. Just had a good rhythm all day and got off to a pretty good start. So I was pretty happy.”
In four Web.com Tour events this season, Svensson has made the cut three times. His best fi nish was a tie for 11th at the Rust-Oleum Championship June 11-14 in Westlake, Ohio, which earned him $14,400.
With $21,653 in total prize money, he ranks 118th on the tour. Th e top 75 money winners qualify for the Web.com Tour Finals.
He has also competed in a pair of PGA Tour Canada events, placing second both times. He is ranked eighth on the PGA Tour Canada money list.
Th e graduate of Earl Marriott Secondary an-nounced he was turning professional in March, signing with Sport-Box Entertainment Group and agreeing to sponsorship agreements with Acushnet/Titleist, J. Lindeberg and Free-dom 55 Financial.
Svensson won his fi rst major tournament in 2007 as a 13-year-old, becoming the B.C. Ban-tam Boys champion. He went on to win a pair of British Columbia Junior championships and the 2010 B.C. Amateur championship.
Adam Svennson tees off during the third round of the RBC Canadian Open in Oakville, Ontario. PGA TOUR
