Four men were injured in three separate shootings over the weekend, two of which polcie say are linked to a turf war over a dial-a-dope operation which has accounted for 18 shootings since March.

(Th ere have been more than 30 shootings since that time, though police say they aren’t all linked to the drug turf war).

In response to the spate of gun violence, Surrey’s mayor wants to change legislation allowing courts to recover health care costs from uncooperative victims.

Th e recent series of shootings started on Monday, June 8, when Surrey RCMP respond-ed to gunfi re outside a Surrey restaurant at 72 Avenue and Scott Road. Police believe that incident is linked to the ongoing drug war.

Drug users and loud par-tiers descend each night on a trio of North Surrey rental homes. In the eve-ning, yelling and fi ghts are commonplace, with people shacking up in gazebos, constructing makeshift sheds and pitching tents in the yards.

RCMP respond, create a fi le and leave. Each home has had in excess of 100 police visits.

It’s a regular occurrence playing out at three homes in the Bolivar Heights area of North Surrey.

Th e following day, neigh-bours are stared down by the unwelcome residents, with one senior telling Th e Leader he feels like a pris-oner in his own home.

Asking that he remain anonymous due to fears for his safety, the man says he’s terrifi ed by some of the people in the “fl op houses” near 110 Avenue and 142 Street.

He’s lived in his home for 50 years – some of his neighbours have lived there even longer – and says he has never seen anything like what’s going on.

He keeps everything on his property under lock and key and has installed

surveillance cameras.“We live in fear in each

one of our houses,” he says. “We can’t go away, we’re basically prisoners in our own homes… Th ere’s no way we should have to live like this.”

Th e three properties under fi re are owned by two Surrey residents.

Adding to the frustra-tion is that the situation is indirectly funded by the province, which sends the

housing portion of the residents’ social assistance cheques directly to the homeowners.

Th e city would like to crack down using existing bylaws, but the province refuses to sign an affi davit confi rming how many people live in each house (see accompanying story, page 3).

Conditions in the homes are outrageous, nearby residents say.

In one house, power

and cable have been fed into a garage where people are living, and last weekend, more people had pitched tents on the lawn.

Th ere are also padlocks on the outside of doors, making the houses a potential deadly fi re trap, witnesses say.

Residents have served the city with a 125-name petition asking civic of-fi cials to restore order to their neighbourhood.

Th e petition says the quiet community has been ruined.

“Our sleep is continual-ly disrupted with fi ght-ing, police and ambulance sirens, and the worry that one of the renters might try to break into our home and harm us while we are sleeping,” the petition says. “We have to bear this daily.”

Th e Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council spent $5.8 million provided by TransLink in an at-tempt to swing more area residents to the “yes” side in the referendum on increasing the sales tax to pay for more transit.

Th e money fi nanced a bombardment of media advertising, robo-calls, mail-outs and street canvassing to try to reach voters.

Th e largest expenditure – $2.3 million – was spent on media advertising, but voter contact was a close second.

Th e disclosure released by the Mayors’ Council details payments to 14 fi rms providing public relations, communications, strategic or other support.

More than 840,000 voters were robo-called to participate in one of the 15 telephone town halls

conducted by mayors. Th e yes campaign says 151,000 actually participated.

Th e request from the mayors was approved by the TransLink board of directors.

“No” campaign leader Jor-dan Bateman said the mayors’ disclosure still under esti-mates the yes campaign’s war chest because it doesn’t count at least $1 million worth of staff time or in-kind contribu-tions by municipalities such as Surrey, Vancouver and New Westminster, or other money and eff ort expended by the

yes coalition.The no campaign spent less than $40,000

with the largest contribution coming from the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, Bateman’s employer.

“Whatever the result, we stood up for every-day people and made our case to the voters without wasting millions of their dollars like the mayors did,” Bateman said.

Voters were asked through the mail-in pleb-iscite if they approve a 0.5-per-cent sales tax hike within Metro Vancouver to fund a $7.5-bil-lion package of improvements, including new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, and broad improvements in bus service.

Ballots that were received by May 29 by Elec-tions BC are now being counted and a result is expected by the end of June.

▶ CITY’S BATTLE OVER HOMES LANDS IN COURT

Conditions in the neighbour-hood are only getting worse, the man who spoke to Th e Leader says.

“We are living in constant fear. Neighbours are barricading their doors when they sleep. I can’t go out during the day, these people

steal everything they can get their hands on.”

Surrey Bylaw Manager Jas Rehal says the city has a few homes like these “popping up” from time to time.

He notes the North Surrey trio of homes – on 110 Avenue, 142 Street and Hansen Road – is the worst the city has had to deal with to date.

All eff orts to gain compliance from the owners have failed, he says, so the case is going to court.

In the meantime, neighbours remain barricaded in their homes, many now outfi tted with new alarms and video cameras.

“I’m afraid, I’m scared for my life,” the area resident says tearfully.

KEVIN DIAKIW

Th ree houses causing havoc in North Surrey remain there in part because the province refuses to confi rm how many people are living in them.

Th e residences, owned by two North Surrey residents, have become home to several addicts and dealers, locals say. Many of the inhabitants are on social assistance and have their hous-ing cheques sent directly to the homeowner.

After trying to remedy the situation for close to a year-and-a-half, Surrey is taking property owner Shamima Bi to court over what it says are rooming houses at two locations in Surrey.

Court documents obtained by Th e Leader indicate one of the main obstacles for the city is obtaining an affi davit from the province indicating how many people it’s funding to live in the homes.

Surrey hired Vancouver lawyer Don Howieson to take Bi to court.

Howieson would not comment on the case. However, court documents indicate a high level of frustration with the prov-ince over its refusal to back the city in support of its bylaws.

In a Feb. 20 letter to the Social Development and Social Inno-

vation ministry, Howieson describes the homes with as many as 10 tenants “all who live in separate, locked sleeping rooms.”

Calls to the ministry were not returned by The Leader’s press deadline on Monday.

In a response to the statement of claim, Bi says a proper-ty on 13901 Hansen Rd. only contains two living units.

She also claims she rents the property at 11409 142 St. in accordance with City of Surrey zoning bylaws.

“The defendant does not operate a boarding house,” writes Bi’s lawyer, Robert Campbell, who is also a Delta councillor.

A letter contained in an affidavit submitted by the city indicates the importance of co-operation from Victoria in bringing order back to the neighbourhood.

“We must ensure that the evidence is there to prove that the occupancy of each of the dwelling houses is that of a lodging house,” Howieson writes in a Feb. 20 letter to Ian Stewart, litigation analyst with the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation.

“If we do not have the evidence from the ministry, we shall be unable to meet that burden.”

In a March 3, 2015 email to Howieson, Stewart refuses to furnish the city with an affidavit.

“It is our understanding that providing this information to you in the form and manner requested would not be authorized by law,” Stewart writes.

None of the claims made in the court documents have been proven in court.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

She had just picked up groceries on her way home from work when Delta’s Lisa-Marie Dra-ganiuk decided to check her lottery ticket.

Th e numbers that came up sent her into a delirium. In shock, she immediately called her husband. Th en people began to gather around, everyone realizing she was not only a winner – she was a big winner.

Draganiuk’s June 5 Lotto Max ticket was one of four winners in the $50-million draw – leaving her with a $12.5 million cut.

Th e 33-year-old dental hygienist said the prize changes everything for her and her family.

“We can live the life we aspire to live and raise our family comfortably,” she said.

She was most looking forward to telling her mom about the windfall and planned to pick her up from work – hopefully for the last time.

“She is a single mom and has done so much for

me and I’m really looking forward to returning the favour,” said Draganiuk.

She said her family will soon begin house hunt-ing. Th ey had been wanting to move but were unsure how they’d come up with enough money for a down payment.

Now, she says, the possibilities are endless.

▶ BUSINESSES NOT COOPERATING

Some of the businesses in the area are believed to have video surveillance, but are not co-oper-ating with police, so warrants are required to obtain the evidence.

Police would not identify those businesses.

Th en on Friday, June 13, two men were shot at a home in the 5700-block of 152 Street. While the home is known to police, the shooting is not believed to be linked to the turf war.

Th e next day, two more men were injured in gunfi re that erupted in the 18600-block of Highway 10.

Both men suff ered non-life threatening injuries.

Th at shooting is believed to be connected to the turf war over the dial-a-dope operation.

Police say that for a long time, one group had a stronghold on a large area of the dial-for-drugs business.

Since March, a new group has tried to hone in on the business, sparking the violence.

Th e gun violence brings to 18 the number of shooting inci-dents related to the drug war since March.

Police are still looking for the silver Pontiac Vibe last seen fl eeing from the area westbound on Highway 10 immediately after the shooting on Saturday. Police have seized the light-co-loured SUV thought to be con-nected to the shooting and are

obtaining a warrant to gather evidence from inside.

Ravinder Samra, 20, was a victim of a shooting early in this ongoing conflict, and was shot again on Saturday night.

Samra remains uncoopera-tive with police, which Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner says is extremely frustrating.

She wants changes to B.C.’s civil forfeiture legislation, making it possible for the government to seize assets of uncooperative people to pay for their hospital care.

“Is there any opportunity under the Civil Forfeiture Act to change it, that they can pay back, to you and to me, the costs of their unnecessary care given what’s going on right now?” Hepner said. “They should be paying back the costs, or their families should be paying back the costs.”

Despite the shootings, Hepner stands by her ongoing claim that Surrey is safe.

“I consider this city safe, but I consider this issue top of mind for every politician and police officer,” Hepner said. “I’m going to stick with my ‘safe city,’ but a safe city in desperate need of solving this intolerable issue.”

Anyone with information on any of the shootings is asked to call special tip line at 604-915-6566 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Three men shot in Langley are from Surrey

Shots rang out in a quiet Langley neighbourhood last week, leaving three Surrey men injured – one sent to hospital in grave condition.

Around 2:30 a.m. June 11, Langley RCMP received calls about shots being fi red at a home in the 2500-block of 204 Street.

When they arrived, they found three men had been shot.

One man remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Th e other two suff ered less-se-rious injuries. One has already been released from hospital.

All three men are from Surrey, known to police and are not residents of the home where the shots were fi red. Two men are 22 years old and one is 29, said police.

“Th ese two men have not been overly cooperative with police,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

Police have no suspects and little information to go on. It’s unclear if the shooting is tied to the recent drug turf war shootings in Surrey and North Delta.

Police wouldn’t confi rm whether a marijuana grow-op was found inside the home.

RCMP said there wasn’t an il-legal grow operation there, but as a policy, police don’t confi rm locations of medicinal grows.

OPEN SAT. JUNE 20TH

Five-year-old Adam pushed his way into a line-up of kids. Rebuked by a near-by mother for his intrusion, he stuck out his tongue and ran off .

Th e irked woman spat a remark at Adam’s mom, Amanda.

“Your son is a monster.”Just another painful moment in a life-

time of struggle for a parent of a young child with a mental disorder.

One more sharp reminder for Amanda that the monster is not her son; it is the depth of mental health issues among B.C.’s children and youth, and the lack of help.

Adam is among an estimated 80,000 kids in this province who experience some sort of mental disorder.

Of those, more than 50,000 do not get specialized assistance. Many don’t even get a diagnosis.

If those statistics seem staggering, so is the government response to the issue.

In the past seven years, Children and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) spending rose by a paltry $4 million. Of the total provincial budget, CYMH comprises 0.2 per cent.

In that period, the number of front-line

CYMH psychologists dropped from 37 to 33. Front-line nurses went from 59 to 42, although the number of supervising nurses crept from seven to 10.

What has ballooned in the past seven years, though, is the legion of children needing specialized diagnosis and treat-ment.

Perhaps it’s a greater awareness on the part of parents that some child behaviours are indicators something is seriously amiss.

Likely, it’s also identifi cation by teach-ers better equipped to recognize mental disorders, and who make referrals or requests for special needs assistance in the classroom.

Whatever the factors, there can be no doubt that government services fall ap-pallingly short of dealing with children’s mental health issues.

Th ere’s no shortage of professional reports and expert voices that support that statement – among them B.C.’s Rep-resentative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who has repeatedly identifi ed the CYMH system as failing.

For much of society, it all falls into the category of too bad, but it’s

“their problem.”Yet, like so many of social ills, it is

really everyone’s problem.Why?Children with mental disorders who

go undiagnosed and untreated don’t get better on their own. Mental health issues rarely go away with age.

In fact, they usually worsen.And that makes government inaction

and anemic funding response a fi nancial fallacy and a social crime.

Providing specialized services to men-tally ill children is expensive, yes. Th e cost of failing to treat is far greater.

In classrooms, special needs kids divert teachers’ time and attention from other students. Th at can aff ect the quality of education for the entire class.

Intervention and treatment for any human ailment is virtually always easier and less expensive earlier rather than later. Certainly that must be so for men-tal health.

As the teen years progress, so does the potential for mental disorders to become exacerbated by peer pressures, exposure

to drugs and alcohol, and frustration with social identity and acceptance, to name just a few of the increasingly complex factors.

Young adults are less inclined to main-tain consistent counselling sessions.

When mental health problems begin to manifest in a larger context, the potential for severe situations also increases.

Homelessness would be one.Many of the people living on the street

and under bridges in this city suff er from mental illness. Likely they did as children as well.

Criminal activity would be another. Homelessness is mundane compared to the cost of crime in terms of enforce-ment, justice and incarceration.

And then there’s the potential of violence, which can carry a price beyond value.

It brings new meaning to the expres-sion, “pity the children.”

Andrew Holota is the editor of The Abbotsford News, a sister paper to The Leader.

Th ey’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

Police response to a 911 call in South Surrey in the middle of the day last Wednesday has been termed overkill by some, particularly since the call, reporting a violent domestic incident, turned out to be a prank.

To most, the sight of RCMP members armed with assault rifl es, a tactical armoured vehicle, a canine squad – and about a dozen other vehicles – swarming a quiet Surrey neighbourhood is disturbing.

As an image of the in-creasing militarization of our police forces, it makes us long for some kinder, gentler past where the idea of massed police response and lockdowns of schools – both H.T. Th rift Elementary and Semiahmoo Secondary took that preventative measure at the request of the RCMP – were virtually

unknown; when the most likely fi rst responder was a solitary beat offi cer, or a single squad car.

But, given the times in which we live, what would we have the police do?

Numerous incidents of murders and standoff s between shooters and police in domestic cases – even over the last year – have heightened our awareness of the volatility of such situations.

It’s been a sad fact of life, ever since the formation of modern police forces, that responders, no matter how brave or well-trained, never know what they’re walking into.

And domestic situations have been among the dead-liest, even in the kinder, gentler past we like to imag-ine. (It’s close to 100 years ago that a Vancouver chief constable was killed while

attempting, courageously, to confront an armed and dangerous man barricaded in an apartment with his spouse.)

It’s easy to decry heavily armed offi cers surrounding a home containing only one confused and alarmed resident. But, had the sit-uation been a genuine one – a murder, say, committed by a distraught, desperate, armed individual – what would have been the out-come of sending only one or two patrol offi cers to knock on the door? It’s possible we would have been reporting a tragedy in which two or three or more had died.

When the safety of our residents, our children, our offi cers – even the life of an apparent perpetrator – are at stake, it’s better to be there with too much, too soon, than be there with too little, too late.

Re: “Port wants tall Massey bridge for LNG tankers,” Th e Leader, May 29.

So now we see the corporate infl uence by the Port of Vancou-ver supporting LNG – shipping companies and tankers behind this likely $4 billion bridge.

Regular bridge users will pay through the nose, through nasty tolls, along with increased fuel and maintenance costs due to the height and steepness of the bridge.

Not only that, users will suff er congestion through all the accidents and breakdowns on this new bridge, which similarly plague the steep Alex Fraser Bridge (among the top 10 worst crash sites in the Lower Main-land in 2013), only worse as the Massey bridge will be higher above the water.

How much more carbon is released by cars, and especially trucks, due to the steepness of this new bridge? A tunnel is car-bon-friendly in this respect.

Th e size of ships and tankers should meet the (user-friendly) bridge design. Not the other way around.

Soft soil, 1,000 feet of it, is a huge issue. Sure, in an earth-quake the Massey tunnel may suff er some damage, but even if one of the main footings of the bridge were to suff er damage (from liquefaction), the repair bill will be massive – if the bridge survives at all. Th is bridge is a

high-risk gamble.Th e Christy Clark govern-

ment has an infi nite pool of money for mega-projects and handouts to corporations, but when it comes to things like health care, education and transit, there’s no money and are deemed unsustainable.

Th is economic model doesn’t work for most of us.

Jason Lewko, Delta

Are Supreme Court judges stepping over their judicial limitations?

Never before in the history of Canada has any Supreme Court judge been able to declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal authorization from Health Canada to market or distribute a medicine.

The recent approval by the Supreme Court

of marijuana drug sales without the approval of Health Canada is a strange phenomenon indeed.

It strikes me more like a democratic dicta-torship then anything else.

Is there anyone who holds these judges accountable? How?

One can only wonder, just who runs the country – the government or Supreme Court judges?

SHEILA REYNOLDS

Some educators and parents in Surrey aren’t buying the school dis-trict’s assurances that special needs assistance for students won’t be cut back when the new school year begins in September.

“It’s all false,” said one woman in response to Th e Leader’s story last week in which Surrey School District offi cials

said there were no re-ductions being made to assistance for students with special health or learning needs.

Th e woman, who works as an Education Assistant (EA) but did not want to have her name published for fear it would aff ect her employment, said three full-time EA po-sitions, including her own, are being elimi-nated from her current

school this fall. Another EA said while

there are seven EAs at her school this year, four are slated to leave at the end of June.

“We will have the same amount of stu-dents with same needs but with the cuts we now have 4 positions lost,” wrote a third EA in an online response to Th e Leader’s story. “Some students requir-ing a full 30 hours a week due to health or behavior concerns were cut to 8 hours a week. Th is means less EAs to support our kids in need.”

Last week, Deputy School Supt. Rick Ryan said district-wide, EA hours are not only being maintained, but increased for the 2015-16 school year, as there are plans to hire 35 more assis-tants.

He said EA hours re-ceived by principals to date may be inaccurate due to a problem with the provincial govern-ment’s student infor-mation system that has eliminated the Grade 7s leaving a school, but isn’t counting incoming kindergarten students with special education designations. (Th e province is currently in transition from BCeSIS to MyEd). Th at means there are about 5,000 EA hours that have yet to be doled out to Sur-rey elementary schools. As of Monday, the prov-ince was still working on the glitch.

Ryan also said the way the EA hours have been presented to principals is causing confusion because instead of simply receiving a lump total, for the fi rst time,

they’re seeing exactly how many hours are allocated to individ-ual students – even though those hours can be shifted and used however and wherev-er a principal deems necessary.

“It’s a structural change and in the new-ness of it, it requires further communication with our administra-tors, and with the pub-lic, clearly,” Ryan said.

Ryan acknowledged EA positions may well be lost at some schools, but said others will be gaining EA hours.

“Th e position may go away, but it will materi-alize somewhere else,” he said, noting a post-ing meeting for EAs is being held next week. “I would be almost certain they would be recalled.”

In the meantime, some parents, it seems, are still hearing their children’s assistance may be reduced.

“I was told by the principal that my son’s hours were no longer in place for next year,” said the mom of a Grade 3 son with a major health issue.

Another parent said her son with special needs is entering Grade 2 next year and is slated to have his assigned EA hours reduced to eight from the current 20.

Catherine Sereda, director of instruc-tion with the school district, again off ered assurances that ser-vice to children with special needs in Surrey will not be reduced come fall.

“It’s also a two-part process: the initial allocation and then the opportunity for principals to make the case to us that partic-ular students actually need more energy and time,” Sereda said.

She added that because of such con-versations, over the past couple of weeks alone, the district has recalled 87 EAs and placed them in schools.

Medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and prod-ucts other than dried bud, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.

The unanimous decision is a major victory for cannabis crusaders who argued they should not be forced only to smoke or vaporize the drug when edible or topical products are safer and provide benefits such as delayed delivery.

“Inhaling mari-juana can present health risks and is less effective for

some conditions than administration of cannabis derivatives,” the country’s high court ruled.

It found the federal drug law exemption allowing medical pot patients access only to dried marijuana violated their consti-tutional right to life, liberty and security

of the person.

Ap-proved patients who ille-gally baked cookies, brewed pot tea or turned it into oil had faced the threat of criminal prose-

cution, but not any longer.

“This denial is not trivial,” the court ruled. “It subjects the person to the risk of cancer and bronchial infections associated with smoking dry marihuana, and pre-cludes the possibility of choosing a more effective treatment.”

The ruling upholds the decision by B.C. courts that dismissed drug trafficking charges against Owen Smith, a Victoria man caught baking pot

cookies for a local compassion club.

“It’s a great decision from the point of view of all medically approved patients,” said Abbotsford

lawyer John Conroy, one of the lawyers who defended Smith before the Supreme Court.

▶ NOT CLEAR HOW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL RESPOND TO SUPREME COURT RULING

He said the government’s dried-only restriction was un-reasonable.

“It forced people to choose between a legal but inadequate treatment and an illegal but more effective one.”

Conroy is optimistic the Supreme Court’s ruling will also guide another pending case in which medical marijuana patients have argued before a Federal Court judge that they should be allowed to continue growing their own pot at home, instead of buying only from new commercial producers au-

thorized by Ottawa.In that case as

well, Conroy and co-counsel Kirk Tousaw argued similar constitu-tional rights are in play – that medical marijuana users are deprived reasonable access if they can’t afford to buy from commercial produc-ers and that they then risk jail if they grow it themselves or buy on the black market.

That trial took place this spring and the judge

has reserved decision.Conroy predicts Thursday’s

ruling will also allow commercial producers to start offering cannabis edibles and topicals, rather than just dried pot.

The Supreme Court did not give the federal govern-ment time to pass new regulations and instead issued an immediate order that the old restric-tion was no longer in force.

It’s not yet clear how Ottawa will re-

spond, but it could regulate pot

derivatives through a different mechanism.

Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose told reporters mari-juana is not an approved medi-cine and criticized the ruling for contributing to the normaliza-tion of marijuana use.

“I’m outraged by the mes-sage that judges are sending that they think that they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear medical scientific evidence and without safety reviews,” Ambrose said.

She cited 36 cases of people being hospitalized after becom-ing ill from ingesting marijuana edibles at Vancouver’s recent 4/20 pot celebration.

There were three winners when Jonker Auto Group (Jonker Nissan and Jonker Honda) donated two cars to be won at recent dry grad celebrations at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary.

Parm Chohan was the initial winner at Lord Tweedsmuir's dry grad event, which was a four-hour boat cruise held on the MV Britannia on May 24. Local busi-nesses provided numerous prizes in order to encourage maximum participation in the event. The event was well-attended, with more than 300 grads taking part.

Three nalists for the dry grad car were selected in a draw at the conclusion of the overnight party. They were Chanelle Collins, Parm Chohan and Ryan Bullen.

Each nalist was given a key to the prize car, which was unveiled at the school a few days later. Only one key would start the car, and Parm's key was the lucky one. The other two nalists received a $400 cash prize.

The excitement didn't stop there. As it turned out, Parm already has a car, so she generously decided to let the other two runners-up toss a coin to see which one of them would win the car. Ryan Bullen was the winner of the coin toss, so he won the car.

But Parm also won. Jonker Auto Group was impressed by her generosity and has put away some funds for Parm's college plans.

At Clayton Heights, the dry grad party was

also held May 24. It was a six-hour Vegas-themed party, held at the school. Just under 200 students took part.

The three nalists for the car were Anna Seiler, Brenden Paulhus and Connor Dagg.

When it came time to t ther key into the ignition, Connor Dagg's key worked, so he is the winner. The other students received $400 cash prizes.Jonker Auto Group has provided 42 vehicles for dry grad celebrations in the Surrey and Langley area since 1998. Their emphasis is not on the type of vehicle pre-sented each year, but on providing the gift of a car to promote alcohol-free celebra-tions at graduation.The grand prize of a car has led to dramatic increases in student participation in these

events over the past 17 years.Jonker auto Group is grateful to a number of suppliers who provided assistance in providing the two vehicles given away. They are Moe's Auto Glass, Save On Paint, Dents Unlimited, Boomerang Vinyl, Flying Colors Paint, Brookswood Auto Tint and New Creation Interior Repair.

Special thanks go to the many employees at Jonker Nissan Service, Jonker Nissan Parts and the Jonker Auto Spa, who donate their time to make this annual dry grad car project a huge success.

It is a community relationship Jonker Auto Group is proud to support in our local high schools.

Patients who have endured excessive waits for surgery may get into the operating room faster this summer.

Th e province is injecting $10 million into the system to perform an extra 1,000 surgeries province-wide in an eff ort to reduce wait times.

Th e extra money will be target-ed for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery, Health Minister Terry Lake said Monday.

Orthopedic surgeries, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat procedures will be eligible for accelerated treatment.

Lake said the money will open up extra operating room time in hospitals across the province, and in some cases it will be used to contract private clinics to perform extra day surgeries.

“Patients want to have their sur-geries done,” Lake told reporters. “If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Colum-bians would agree with that approach.”

Just one per cent of surgeries in B.C. were performed by private clinics using public funds in 2013.

It’s not yet clear how much that might increase and it will vary depending on the region.

A spokesperson said Fraser Health so far has no intention of contracting out to private clinics and expects to provide 500 extra surgeries through its own hospi-tals this summer.

Island Health said in April it’s seeking a private clinic operator to provide up to 4,000 day surgeries a year, or about 10 per cent of the region’s annual total.

Further cash infusions for sur-gery increases are expected in the fall and early next year.

Along with the promised short-term relief, the province is also pursuing longer-range measures to make the surgical system more

effi cient.Many family doctors often

refer to the same heavily booked surgeon due to reputation or preference, while other surgeons are sometimes idle.

Lake said one alternative may be to instead shift to a pool of sur-geons where patients get assigned to the fi rst one available.

Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hospital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where OR time is going unused.

“For patients, it’s not as conve-nient perhaps,” Lake said. “But it is an opportunity to have their surgery done faster.”

More recruitment and training of anaesthetists and surgical nurses is also part of the long-range plan.

B.C. has increased the numbers of surgeries it performs over the years, but demand has risen faster.

B.C. adds $10M to cut surgery wait times▶ MORE USE OF PRIVATE CLINICS EYED, BUT NOT YET IN FRASER HEALTH

Th e province may let contracted private clinics keep patients overnight for as long as three days so they can take on more com-plex surgeries than the day procedures they’ve so far been permitted to perform.

Th at possibility is mentioned in a health ministry discussion paper of potential surgical reforms that’s gone out for stake-holder comment.

“Improved access to surgical services may include performing select surgical pro-cedures which have length of stay up to three days, in private surgery centres using

public funds,” the paper says, adding the change would require amending the Hospital Act.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake announced an extra $10 million Monday to perform more day surgeries this summer – some through private clinics using public funds – in order to cut wait times.

But NDP health critic Judy Darcy said letting private surgery clinics go beyond day surgery to multi-day stays would be tan-tamount to turning them into full-fl edged “private hospitals.”

Private surgery clinics so far perform barely one per cent of government-funded procedures in B.C. when public operating rooms aren’t available.

Longer patient stays

would open the door to many more surger-ies fl owing to private facilities, Darcy said, adding critical staff may follow, further reducing capacity in public hospitals.

“Health profession-als are in short supply – anaethesiologists, specialty nurses – and if we drain them out of the public system into the private system we eff ectively become captive to private for-profi t clinics,” Darcy said.

She called the pro-posal a “game changer” that has been quietly advanced under the guise of a short-term “Bandaid” to cut waits.

“Th ey ought to be doing the innovation and the strategic investment to use our public system to the maximum.”

Fraser Health does

not initially foresee hiring private clinics to supply the extra 500 surgeries it plans over the summer – it will open more of its own closed operating rooms.

But the Vancouver Island and and Van-couver Coastal health authorities have indi-cated they expect to make some extra use of private surgeons.

Health Minister Ter-ry Lake was unavail-able for an interview.

Th e ministry instead issued a statement defending extended private clinic stays as a successful method of handling more hernia surgeries in Toronto.

“Th is is just one option that is on the table for consider-ation,” it said. “Not all of these will be implemented.”

Th e policy paper indicates the main reason that about one in six hospital operat-ing rooms are closed at any time is lack of funding, while staff shortages and lack of demand are also responsible in some cases.

Th e ministry says it’s working to increase training for specialist nurses and support recruitment and reten-tion of key specialists, including anaethesiol-ogists.

Doctors of B.C. pres-ident Dr. Bill Cavers said health watchdogs are right to be wary of the potential to drain staff from the public system, but said the association believes some increased use of private surgery clinics “can be a good idea” as long as it’s publicly administered and funded, and quality and safety standards are upheld.

Demand on hospitals can vary due to fl u season or a backlog of patients waiting for a particular procedure, he said.

“We feel that utiliz-ing diff erent avenues of access to care can improve the over-all effi ciency of the system,” Cavers said. “We have surgeons right now who can’t get enough operating room time.”

He said he doesn’t foresee large numbers of clinics opening to the extent that they might cause problems for the public system.

Fun is defi nitely the best word to describe the John Welsh Band! The Mission-based group has an eclectic style, inspired by cultures across the world. The result is “an upbeat mix of folk rock, Latin and Reggae,” explains lead musician John Welsh. This diversity makes them an ideal band to play at Surrey Fest, a celebration of the multicultural wonders of Surrey.

At Surrey Fest, people can expect to “have a lot of fun, get involved either clapping, singing or dancing and have an experience they won’t forget.” The band’s goal is to make people happy—“that’s the biggest rush of performing”, Welsh tells us.

The band draws infl uence from Paul Simon, Bob Marley, and the Gypsy Kings to create an original sound. They have been compared

to Michael Franti and Spearhead in the past, but stand on their own skills.

While the John Welsh band members do not live in Surrey, they are familiar with its growing downtown core. Their favourite place is the Central City Brew Pub, because of its “cool vibe, awesome beer, and live music.”

When not performing, the group is usually travelling. John spends time in Spain, while the vocal percussionist, Courage Eigbike, hails from Nigeria. Any time spent abroad is an investment into their careers - it helps them solidify their own unique musical identity.

Welsh sums: “Surrey is a community of many cultures that celebrates its diversity and we think it’s the perfect place for a

band infl uenced by many cultures to play! We love bringing people from all walks of life together.”

Get ready for a hilarious musical performance at Surrey Fest, brought to you by That DAM Band! The group combines comedy and music in each of their shows.

While based at the Giggle Dam Theatre in Port Coquitlam, the band spends time in the Surrey area. One member, Brad Lovell, feels that Surrey gave him an amazing start as a young musician playing at several local clubs and bars.

The band formed a few years ago when several of the talented performers of the Giggle Dam came together. Performing together musically was an easy transition for the close-knit group. They often spend their time off together, and have become a family. There are even two married couples within the group.

The bandmates support each other’s dreams, both within the group and in their outside endeavors. In 2008, a former member and one of Surrey’s own, Elicia Mackenzie, won the televised competition “How do you Solve a Problem like Maria.” Other members are currently studying to combine their love for music

and passion for helping others as musical therapists.

Each band member has a personal connection to music, and feels incredibly lucky to be able to do what they love. At the Giggle Dam Theatre, they witness the incredible impact that a fun show can bring to someone’s life. For the hour long performance at Surrey Fest, That DAM Band wants the audience to relax and enjoy the lively entertainment.

When on stage, the band’s ultimate goal is to make the act fun for everyone. This does not come at the expense of a quality performance. “Good music is good music”, Brad simply states for us.

Will Stroet’s lifetime love of playing music and his education at the University of British Columbia in teaching have fuelled his passion for playing children’s music. He began playing for kids during his time studying at UBC, and would often write songs for his fellow student teachers and the children at his practicum school. His original plan had been to become an elementary school teacher. He taught French immersion music for fi ve years at a school in Vancouver before making the leap to becoming a full-time musician. He has always been drawn to the stage and as he passionately put it, “the rest is history”.

He is often described as the newer generation’s Fred Penner, and is featured on Kid’s CBC television across the country in his own musical segment titled “Will’s Jams” every weekday morning.

Stroet and the Backyard Band put on an energetic performance, and often have the whole audience on their feet singing and dancing. “Our show always gets the kids and their families up on their feet and moving”, Stroet said.

When asked where he fi nds musical inspiration he replied “I’ve had the honour of performing at festivals with Fred [Penner] and he’s a

major inspiration for what I do”.

Stroet’s favourite places in Surrey are the Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre where he’s performed a couple of times at Surrey Canada Day festivities as well as the City Centre Library. On his time off, Stroet enjoys playing Friday night fl oor hockey with his friends, playing with his kids, cycling, cooking, reading, hiking, and even doing a crossword puzzle or two.

Lake pointed to soaring demand for procedures such as hip replacements over the last 15 years as patients realize what recent medical advancements now off er them.

Each year there are more seniors who are typically living longer lives.

“We know these surgeries are becoming the expec-tation for people who want to live a good quality of life and that is the demand we want to meet.”

More than 50 of the province’s nearly 300 oper-ating rooms are not regularly staff ed, according to a health ministry discussion paper on surgical reform.

It said operating rooms are generally idle because health authorities have insuffi cient funds to run

them, but in some cases they’re shuttered because of a lack of specialized staff such as anaesthestists or insuffi cient local demand.

According to the provincial surgical wait time web-site, the typical patient is waiting 45 weeks for knee replacement surgery and up to 10 per cent of them wait 77 weeks or longer. B.C.’s target is to complete knee surgeries within 26 weeks.

Fraser Health engineered its own surgery surge earlier this year, reallocating a budget surplus to perform seven per cent more surgeries to reduce wait lists.

It’s not yet known if Fraser will be charged fi nan-cial penalties under the province’s pay-for-perfor-mance system for several hundred surgery waits that in late 2014 threatened to extend longer than a year.

Schoenborn trips won’t be appealed

Th e provincial gov-ernment will not appeal the B.C. Review Board’s decision to grant es-corted day trips to Allan Schoenborn, who was found not criminally re-sponsible for killing his three children in a 2008 psychiatric episode.

Attorney General Su-zanne Anton said prose-cutors with the Criminal Justice Branch conclud-ed the province had no likelihood of meeting the legal requirements for an appeal.

“I am confi dent they have reviewed all possi-ble avenues for appeal,” Anton said. “None of us are terribly happy about this.”

Darcie Clark, the slain children’s mother, accused the province of paying victims “lip service” but not backing that up with action.

“We thought the B.C.

government was our partner in this fi ght,” Clarke said in a state-ment, adding she is now in anguish.

“I will now live in consistent fear that he will move ahead with his threats against me, because as he has said, I am “unfi nished busi-ness.”

Escorted day trips would be at the discre-tion of the director of Colony Farm psychiatric hospital in Coquitlam. Th e review board’s approval does not neces-sarily mean Schoenborn will leave the facility.

Premier retreats on bridge yoga

Premier Christy Clark has cancelled her plan to close Vancouver’s Burrard Bridge to mark the International Day of Yoga after a public back-lash prompted major sponsors to back out.

Lululemon, YYoga and Altagas withdrew Friday and the premier soon followed suit after con-

tinued criticism of the bridge closure, which was to cost $150,000.

Th e optics had grown worse as some fi rst nations leaders planned to protest the June 21 Om Th e Bridge event for inappropriately coinciding with National Aboriginal Day.

“Unfortunately, the focus of the proposed Burrard Street Bridge event has drifted to-wards politics – getting in the way of the spirit of community and inner refl ection,” Clark said. “It was for that reason, I decided not to partici-pate.”

Vancouver councillors had said Clark pushed the plan to stage the event on the closed bridge. Vancouver’s mayor had refused to participate in the announcement or the event.

Lululemon organizers apologized and said they’d look for another venue.

“Downward dogs with a few thousand of our closest friends seemed

like the perfect way to celebrate International Day of Yoga. Until it wasn’t,” the yogawear maker said in a state-ment that promised to take a “deep cleansing breath” and reimagine an improved celebration of yoga. “Th anks for your understanding. Namaste.”

Youth in care to get education fund

Children who grow up in government care without parents setting aside a college fund are being promised a new potential source of aid for their education.

Th e province is put-ting $250,000 into the newly created Learning Fund for Young Adults (LFYA), which will be available to youth born in 2007 or later once they turn 17, provided they’ve spent at least a year in government care.

Disbursements for post-secondary education or vocational training would start in 2024.

LFYA is to be an alter-native to the existing BC Training and Education Savings Grant, which wasn’t available to many youth in care because it required them to have a Registered Education Savings Plan.

Th e province is also transferring $1.5 mil-lion into LFYA from the BCTES program account and $500,000 a year in subsequent years. Th at’s equivalent to $1,200 for each eligible child or youth in care.

Th e new fund is administered by the Victoria Foundation.

Other government programs off er help with tuition and other costs for former youth in care, who may also be eligible for tuition waivers now off ered at many post-secondary institutions.

Th e province launched a new website agedout.com to provide help with life skills for youth who are about to turn 19 and age out of gov-ernment assistance.

Gender identity should be removed from birth certifi cates, according to a complaint fi led with the B.C. Hu-man Rights Tribunal on behalf of nine intersex or transgender people.

Morgane Oger, a transgender woman and chair of the Trans Alliance Society, says the forced assignment of gender identity at birth – quickly decided

by a doctor inspecting the genitals – discrimi-nates against intersex, trans and other gender non-conforming resi-dents whose assigned gender turns out to be inaccurate or who don’t fully identify as one sex or the other.

A statement issued by the society says misidentifi ed children “suff er grief when they go to school, humilia-tion when they apply for a driver’s licence and discrimination and danger in every circum-stance where someone wants them to ‘prove’ their gender.”

Oger argues there is

no valid reason to put gender on birth certifi -cates, adding there are many more sophisti-cated methods to help identify someone.

“It is indefensible to use a marker which will certainly be wrong, and create havoc for, a predictable number of people.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said B.C. has moved to allow birth certifi cates to be changed, but removing gender would aff ect sta-tistics used in medical research.

“We are studying this and looking at other ju-risdictions, but we have

to be really careful with foundational identity documents like birth certifi cates, because we want to make sure that we don’t impair people’s ability to travel interna-tionally,” Lake said.

Transgender advo-

cates elsewhere are also advancing cases seeking to remove gender from passports.

Oger said it’s not acceptable to have a third gender option like “other” because “that puts a target on

the forehead of anyone with that third option recorded.”

Among the com-plainants is Harriette Cunningham, a Comox girl labeled male at birth who last year succeeded in getting her birth cer-

tifi cate gender changed to female. In 2013, at the age of 11, she won a Human Rights Tribunal case that led to new provincial legislation making such identifi ca-tion changes easier.

where the speed is more than 80 km/h when other traffi c is approaching from behind.

Th e exceptions in which the left lane is okay is when you’re overtaking and passing another vehicle, leaving the right lane open to allow traffi c to merge, preparing for a left hand

turn, or moving left to pass an offi cial vehicle with a fl ashing light.

Th e rules do not apply to HOV lanes – the next lane to the right is consid-ered the left-most lane on routes such as Highway 1 in Burnaby.

Another change will allow munici-palities to permit motorcycle parking within six metres of intersections with stop signs or signals, so long as sight lines aren’t blocked.

Metro Vancouver’s garbage incinera-tor has cut its emissions by 53 per cent since completing a major pollution control upgrade over the past year.

The $7-million retrofit by plant operator Covanta means the plant’s ni-trogen oxides emissions now make up 0.4 per cent of the total in the region,

down from 0.8 per cent.That’s just over one-third of the

emissions allowed under the current limit set by the provincial government, according to Metro.

The plant is still awaiting a new oper-ating certificate from the environment ministry – Metro’s application for one was challenged by the Fraser Valley Regional District, which demanded tougher pollution controls and testing.

The waste-to-energy plant is also reporting a major drop in revenue in 2014.

It took in nearly $5.5 million from

selling electricity, but that’s down from $7.4 million in 2013. Power generation was offline for part of the year because of repairs to a failed turbine blade, and a new electricity purchase deal is now in effect with BC Hydro that pays Metro lower prices than before.

Metro officials say the plant remains by far the most cost-effective method of disposing of garbage, compared to using the Vancouver Landfill or trucking it to the Cache Creek Landfill, which the region wants to stop using in favour of a new waste-to-energy plant.

B.C. beer drinkers are generally paying more for their brew since the provincial government’s liquor pricing reforms took eff ect in April.

New Democrats released an analysis that shows more than 85 per cent of beer types now cost more than they did in March while less than 10 per cent have gone down in price.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton had predicted there would be no signifi cant price increases with the move to standard wholesale prices and said critics were “beer mongering.”

Th e typical price increase is not large – about 2.8 per cent – but the price hikes are more likely to hit craft beer lovers than those who quaff beer from big labels like Budweiser and Molson, which are largely unchanged.

Several beers from Victoria’s Driftwood Brewery are up at least seven per cent, as is Del-ta-brewed Four Winds IPA, and some varieties from Kelowna’s Tree Brewing are up nearly 17 per cent.

More than 200 vari-eties of beer are up at least fi ve per cent since March.

Private stores now pay the same wholesale price as the govern-ment liquor stores, which have been al-lowed to open Sundays and sell cold beer. Th e system was supposed to create a level playing fi eld for retailers while maintaining the gov-ernment’s total revenue at $1 billion a year from the wholesale liquor mark-up.

Craft beer fans fear higher prices will hurt their booming industry.

Uprooting your family and moving to Can-ada can be a frightening experience for many, but for students enrolled in the Workplace LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers) program at Douglas College in Surrey, the chance for a bright future is worth the leap.

In a small classroom at the college – located at 10060 King George Blvd. – 18 students from all over the world work to not only im-prove their English skills, but are also learning

about Canadian culture and customs in an attempt to fi nd employment.

“We have engineers, accountants, nurses, doctors, you name it,” said program coordina-tor Mary Daniel.

“Th ey often need to upgrade not only their language skills, but their knowledge about our laws or how to act at work. Many just need direction.”

Many new immigrants who come to Canada are told the skills or education they have attained in their home country do not meet Canadian standards. However the most signifi cant stumbling block is usually language profi ciency and that is where the LINC program comes in.

“We fi gure out what they want to do and help them fi nd the skills to get there,” said Daniel.

“But before they can upgrade they need to improve their English skill fi rst. Th at’s the fi rst step.”

Before enrolling in the LINC program, all new immigrants must fi rst visit the Surrey Language Assessment Centre in Newton where they will be given a series of tests to determine English language profi ciency and assigned a starting level.

A minimum level of fi ve is needed to enroll in the Workplace LINC program.

Cedric Paliadino arrived in Surrey from Nicaragua with his family in 2014. Th e civil engineer travelled through the United States by bus, arriving at the Douglas bor-der crossing where he applied for refugee status.

“I am not political, but the Sandinista

government took over my company,” said the 45-year-old father of three. “I worked in the oil industry, but I lose many things.”

Paliadino believes Canada is a place where his family has a chance to thrive.

“I have turned the page in my life,” he said, his voice breaking with emotion.

“I feel I can start at the bottom and peo-ple will see my skill and I will advance. Th is is the key for my future and my family’s future.”

For Archana Srivstava, 46, the LINC program is pro-viding her with the needed training to fi nd work.

Th e certifi ed biology and chemistry teacher from India came to Canada with her husband looking for a better life for her son.

She feels the lessons in English will help her fi nd work in the offi ce adminis-tration fi eld.

In order to graduate from the Workplace LINC program, students must complete a series of assess-ment tests after completing approximately 400 hours of classroom work, which can take up to fi ve months depending on the student.

After completing the LINC program, many students go on to further training and because they are all professionals. Vir-tually all students will fi nd work or open their own businesses, said Daniel.

Public Health Research Offi cer Shanta Poudel-Pandey, 29, and Hsang Jin (Jim) Gong, 43, also arrived in Canada with simi-lar goals for themselves and their children.

Gong, a network adminstrator in China, quickly realized his communication skills were the key to fi nding work in Canada.

“At fi rst I was afraid to communicate with Canadians because my English is poor,

like speaking on the phone to customer service,” he said.

“But now I feel more confi -dent. Th ey teach speaking and listening, the most important things, and Canadian culture.”

Canada was a dream for Poutel-Shandey, who arrived in Canada with her husband and son from Nepal.

“It was my dream to come here since I was a little girl,” she said, and the LINC pro-gram has forced her out of her comfort zone.

“If we stay home we will only get frustrated and think about our home country,” she said.

“I believe if the people are strong, the country will be

strong; we not only need Canada, Canada needs us.”

ANNE MURRAY

As I sat down to write this column, I was distracted by a hummingbird dive-bombing a dragonfly in our garden.

Drawn outside to watch, I relaxed for a while in the shade of a tree, enjoying the dap-pled sunlight.

A robin sang melod-ically nearby and a red-breasted nuthatch gave its scratchy call as it inched up the bark of a cedar tree. Distant traffic and airplane sounds were muted.

I am fortunate to live in a neighbourhood which still has many large conifers and land-scaped yards, where birds sing and native bees and butterflies forage among the flowers.

Trees and natural land-scapes have many benefits for humans far beyond resource values. Had I undergone a medical procedure, my ability to sit in such a garden could have been critical to recovery.

Studies show that hospital patients recover more quickly when looking at trees through a window compared with streetscapes or blank walls.

Children with hyperactivity and seniors with demen-tia experience greater calm in natural surroundings. Neighbourhoods with trees, parks, and gardens encourage walking and other recreation which benefit overall fitness and health.

Trees are essential in making the Earth inhabitable, absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and releas-ing oxygen for us to breathe. Their absorp-tion of carbon dioxide is important in miti-gating climate change.

Trees absorb air pollutants, dust and grime, and take up rainwater from the ground, preventing run off and flooding, and stabilizing bluffs and slopes.

Biodiversity is greater where there are native trees which foster specific animal, plant and fungal associations.

Western redcedars have an iconic place in First Nations history and traditions, used for houses, boats, clothes, and fishing nets. Massive

Douglas-fir could live for over a thousand years and grow over 100 metres tall. Some local trees, like the 30-metre American elm in Memorial Park in Ladner, have been designated as Heritage Trees, and more are worthy of that title.

In the eagerness to maxi-mize house sizes and profits, many new and infill devel-opments occupy the whole extent of a lot, leaving no room for trees or landscap-ing. This disregards the many studies which show suburbs with natural landscaping have higher property values. Trees make a neighbourhood a more desirable place to live.

In consideration of tree protection, Delta Munici-pality has just instituted an Urban Reforestation Project aimed at compensating felled trees with new plantings and revised their Tree Protection Bylaw. Perhaps land owners will also consider keeping ma-ture trees, not cutting them.

Alex Webb drafted by Padres

NICK GREENIZAN

Alex Webb could be bound for warmer climes in the not-too-distant future, after the Surrey pitcher was drafted Wednesday by the San Diego Padres.

Webb, a pitcher with the University of Brit-ish Columbia (UBC) Th underbirds who played for the White Rock Tritons in the B.C. Premier Baseball League until 2012, was selected in the 36th round.

Th is past season, Webb – an electrical engineering major at the Point Grey campus – was named an Aca-demic All-American, as well as the NAIA West pitcher of the year.

He fi nished the season with a win-loss record of 10-3, and had a 2.15 earned-run average.

Webb was chosen four rounds after his teammate, Connor Lillis-White, who was

picked in the 32nd round by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Th e pair were the 19th and 20th players in the history of the UBC program to be drafted by a Major League Baseball (MLB) club.

With one year of college eligibility left, the six-foot-two right-hander will have to decide whether to turn

pro with the Padres or stay at UBC for his senior season.

“No matter what (Alex) chooses to do, he has put himself in a great position with all of his hard work, both on the fi eld and in the classroom,” UBC baseball coach Terry McKaig said.

Surrey resident and Tritons general man-ager Marty Lehn, who has scouted for MLB

teams, says Webb has a bright future.

“Sometimes, I think people get so hung up on what round you were picked, but I don’t think they realize just how many great players are out there – so many tal-ented players don’t get chosen at all,” Lehn said.

“It’s great to see Alex drafted – he has a lot of upside.”

RICK KUPCHUK

While winning their second consecutive B.C. High School Badminton Cham-pionship, the Fraser Heights Firehawks tied a provincial record.

The Surrey school compiled a 59-7 won-lost record, the best record for a champi-onship team since the H.J. Cambie Crusad-ers of Richmond set the standard in 1999.

“This could be the greatest single team performance in pro-vincial badminton his-tory,” said Firehawks head coach Dave Dryden. “The team really came together as one and played exceptionally well. And with majority of players graduating this year, it was an emotional win for everyone.”

The 16-team tournament, staged May 28-30 in Kam-loops, consisted of a round robin with four groups, followed by quarterfinal, semifi-nal and final matches. Fraser Heights was dominate in round robin play, blanking the David Thompson Lakers of Invermere and the St. Michael’s University School of Victoria by 11-0 scores. They also defeated the Winston Churchill Bulldogs 10-1.

The playoffs began with an 11-0 victory over the Semiah-moo Totems, and continued with an 8-3 triumph over Steveston-London of Richmond. They then topped St. George’s/Crofton House 8-3, in the third consecutive provincial champion-ship match between the two rivals. The Vancouver team won in 2013, with the Fire-hawks taking the title last year.

A key to the victory, noted Dryden, was the success of the female players.

“In the final in 2013 and 2014, we had never taken a girls match,” he said. “This year, we took three.”

Grade 12 players Stella Sto and Ali-son Wu won a girls doubles match, as did Kitty Qiu and Grade 11 Cindy Chen. Grade 11 Jenna Wong, one of three national team

players in the Fraser Heights group, later won a girls singles match.

“The two girls doubles victories were big upsets, with both matches ending about

a minute apart, and shifting the dynamic of the championship,” said Dryden. “The ending was anti-cli-matic, unlike the last two years when it came down to the

mixed doubles match-es with the score tied 5-5. But it was sweet nonetheless.”

Grade 12 national team member James Ho teamed with Wong to win a mixed

doubles match, with Ho also winning in boy singles. Grade 12s Muen Guo and Isaac Chang combined for a pair of boys doubles victories. Daryl Yang, a Grade 9 student and

national team mem-ber, teamed with Ben Hwang for another victory in boys dou-bles competition.

Other members of the girls team were Grade 10 student

Tracy Chen, and Grade 12s Lily Cheng and Jennifer Yoon.

Th e boys team also included Grade 10 Da-vid Kim and Grade 12s Eric Tsai and Kevin Ma.
