Surrey North Delta Leader, March 16, 2016

KEVIN DIAKIW

Tree cutting shot up in Surrey last year as the city experienced another billion-dollar building boom in 2015.

Land cleared primarily for homes resulted in a 28-per-cent jump in the number of trees cut down.

Figures provided by the city at the request of Th e Leader indicate 8,560 bylaw-sized trees (30 centimetres in diameter at breast height) were cut down in 2015. It’s an increase of 1,848 large tree cuts recorded in 2014.

It also exceeds the average annual cut of bylaw-sized trees over the last 12 years, which comes in at 7,850.

Tree cutting became a contentious issue in Surrey between 2000 and 2004, when the city was issuing permits to cut down 9,100 trees per year.

Former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts, then a councillor, referred to several areas of the city as a “moonscape” because of the scope of the tree loss.

It went on to become an issue in the munic-ipal mayoralty race in 2005, which Watts won. She then enacted the Tree Protection Bylaw in 2006, but it failed to slow the speed of cuts.

In fact, the number of trees felled annual-ly continued at a greater rate, with 33,300 bylaw-protected trees coming down in three years (2006-2008) – or 11,100 annually (22 per cent higher than in years prior to the bylaw).

To mitigate the loss, the bylaw requires a two-to-one replacement of trees coming down, or the person cutting has to provide cash in lieu of replacement.

▶ ALMOST 2,000 MORE LARGE TREES WERE CUT DOWN IN THE CITY LASTYEAR COMPARED TO 2014

SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Surrey couple is dealing with an inconceivable mix of emo-tions after their toddler died on the same day their new baby was born.

On March 3, a pregnant Megan Carbonetto dropped her hus-band off for work and returned home, where she lives with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She put on a pot of coffee and went to wake her three daughters.

She roused seven-year-old Sian and Abigail, 5. But when she tried to wake her youngest child, Sarah, there was no response.

She rubbed her, then shook her, beginning to panic.

“She wasn’t waking up,” recalled Carbonetto.

She screamed and her relatives came running. They called 911 and performed CPR until para-medics arrived.

“I thought that when the am-bulance got there, help is here, it’s going to be fixed, this is just a bad dream,” Carbonetto said.

One-year-old Sarah was pro-nounced dead at the scene.

Megan’s husband Angel raced home and police arrived to investigate. When Carbonetto got up to show an RCMP officer where her child had been sleeping, she buckled over in pain. That’s when they realized she was likely in premature labour and whisked her to Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Less than 12 hours later, and seven weeks early, Carbonetto had baby girl named Zipporah.

Weighing just over five pounds, the infant is in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital, where she’ll likely remain for the next two to three weeks.

For Carbonetto and her husband, the birth, on the heels of their other baby’s sudden death, brought a raft of emotions – from joy, to sadness, to guilt.

“I wanted to do everything but have the baby on that same day. It’s so unfair for her,” said Megan. “Now, for the rest of her life, her birthday is going to be the day we mourn for the loss of her sister.”

For now, she said, she’s simply trying to take care of herself so she can feed and take care of Zipporah.

Carbonetto said plenty of family support has helped during what she calls a “bittersweet” time.

“We’re doing the best we can,” she said.Her brother, William Carbonetto, has set up a GoFundMe ac-

count to support the family and allow Angel to take some time off work. As of Monday, about $11,920 had been donated.

Megan Carbonetto is overwhelmed by the support.“I’m just a mom from Surrey,” she said. “I’m not anybody spe-

cial. It’s so unreal.”Sarah, she said, was an

adorable, loving and demand-ing little girl who knew exactly what she wanted.

“She really won people over. All that she wanted was to give kisses and hugs.”

Her cause of death is unknown. A funeral was held Saturday.

Man in hospital after gun violence

A man is in hospital with gunshot wounds after reports of gunplay between one car and another in Newton on the weekend.

On Sunday, March 13 at 8:32 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call of shots fi red in the 14200-block of 64 Avenue.

As police attended, a man showed up at hos-pital with gunshot wounds. He had sustained serious injuries.

Th e initial investigation revealed that one vehi-cle was fi ring into another. Th e suspect vehicle is described as a dark-coloured SUV.

Th e investigation is still in its early stages, but initial indications are it was a targeted incident.

Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Sur-rey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers.

Homicide in Newton

Homicide investigators are now handling the probe into a suspicious death of a man found in a car in Newton.

On Friday, March 11 at about 9 p.m., police were called to 79 Avenue and 123A Street on a report of a car hitting a tree.

Police found a man inside the vehicle suff ering from injuries “inconsistent with a car crash,” the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said in a release Saturday.

A witness at the scene believed the man had been shot, but that account has not been con-fi rmed by police.

Surrey is embark-ing on an ambitious plan to increase the number of shade trees in public spaces.

The 2015/2016 Shade Tree Manage-ment Plan is making the rounds through various city commit-tees, where staff say it is being well-received.

As of last year, there were more than 95,000 shade trees in Surrey public spaces (natural forests are excluded from the count), and the city was planting 5,000 more each year, ac-cording to the study.

The draft plan calls on the city to plant 1,000 street trees and 500 in parks annually for the next 10 years.

The 51-page plan indicates for every dollar spent plant-

ing a shade tree, the city harvests $3.18 in benefits, such as energy savings, carbon sequestration, air quality improve-ments, storm water retention, increased property values and other benefits.

The plan calls or a mix of species to bet-ter ensure long-term survival of the trees.

Surrey’s Manager of Parks Owen Croy said right now, the city is unevenly weighted to-wards using Western red cedar.

“And we’ve got more maples in our inventory than would be desirable,” Croy said. “So we want to slow down on maples, slow down on West-ern red cedar, and concentrate on other species.”

The report also calls for care for the city’s tree canopy cover (how much area is covered by the full bloom of the tree).

“The extent of a city’s canopy cover is considered to be an indicator of the ecological well-being

of the city,” the draft plan states.

The current canopy cover for parkland trees is an estimated 5.7 per cent.

According to a sep-arate 2013 study, the city-wide tree canopy has dropped to 27 per cent two years ago from 33 per cent in 2001. An ideal city-wide coverage would be 40 per cent for an environmentally friendly city.

Croy said the Shade Tree Management Plan was not put in place to offset any losses of canopy.

“This shade tree management plan was not triggered by that study,” Croy said. “We look to have best management practices instituted for our mu-nicipally owned trees, which only comprise a small portion of the entire population of trees across the city.”

As this plan comes to light, other cities are calling Surrey for input into their own shade tree plans and strategies.

Croy said Surrey residents have already likely seen evidence of the greening of Surrey’s streets and parks. The plan puts an existing practice into a longer-term vision.

Croy also wants to see the creation of a shade tree advisory committee, whereby any future adjust-ments can be made to enhance the city’s canopy cover on pub-lic lands.

The 2015/2016 Shade Tree Manage-ment Plan is expected before city council sometime in April.

▶ SUSPICIOUS DEATH

Th e man in the car was rushed to hospital, but succumbed to his injuries a short time later.

“We are looking for anyone that may have

been in the area at the time of the crash to come forward with information,” said IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton.

Th e city consistently falls short of the two-to-one ratio and last year, brought in $1.46 million cash in lieu for the tree fund.

Th at money is collected to plant trees elsewhere in the city.

Th e number of trees razed or damaged without permission dropped last year after a signif-icant two-year jump in bylaw scoffl aws.

Since 2009, illegal cutting has ranged between 30 and 140 per year, with 2014 being the high-water mark for infractions.

While last year wasn’t the worst year for tree cuts, some residents are still outraged by the ongoing loss of signifi cant trees.

Raymond Griffi th, 72, was upset when he saw a dozen large trees razed at the end of his street on Glen Avon Drive, near the south end of the Port Mann Bridge.

“I was quite shocked, really. It’s like somebody went in there and just desecrated the bloody place,” said Griffi th, who has lived in his North Surrey home for 42 years.

“It’s a beautiful green belt and these are huge cedar trees

– they’re about two-and-a-half feet across.”

City of Surrey engineering staff said the trees were removed as part of a drainage project for the East Bon Accord trunk sewer diversion. Nearby residents, staff said, were informed of the coming work.

Still, Griffi th was taken aback at the size of the cut.

“Was it really necessary to remove all those big beautiful cedar trees?” Griffi th said. “I

have to get a permit to take a twig off my tree almost. It seems like there’s two rules.”

He argued there is ample alternative space where the city could have used that wouldn’t have disrupted trees.

A study commis-sioned by the city three years ago indicates Surrey will need to pay more attention to its trees if it wants to attain its goal of being a “green” city.

Th e 2013 report showed Sur-rey is losing its tree canopy (the amount of property with tree cover). A canopy of 40 per cent is considered to be one aspect of being an environmentally friendly city.

Surrey fell short of that num-ber and continues to head in the wrong direction.

In 2001, the report showed 33 per cent of Surrey was covered by tree canopy. By 2009, that fi gure had dropped to 30 per cent and four years later, it had shrunk to 27.17 per cent – a decline in tree canopy of 17.66 per cent over those 13 years.

Surrey is aiming to have a 40-per-cent tree canopy by 2058, but that would require some signifi cant changes in order to turn current trends around. (See story on page 4).

Which trees are covered by Surrey’s bylaw?

Permits aren’t required for smaller trees.

The trees the city issued permits to cut down last year were at least 30 centimetres in diameter at breast height. Or they were one of a number of protected species, such as arbutus, Garry oak, Pacific dogwood, Pacific yew, coast redwood, dawn redwood, giant redwood, maidenchair tree or monkey puzzle tree.

Trees such as cottonwood or alder are often referred to by council and staff as “scrub” trees. They either don’t have a long life cycle or don’t survive development well.

However, if they are 30 cms diameter at breast height, they require a city permit.

City-initiated cuts don’t require permits and therefore are not part of the count.

As the B.C. government spends mil-lions on an international brand cam-paign with the recycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada.

This one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan who were given one-way bus tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by burdened social services ministry staff in North Battleford.

Sorting through the blizzard of sooth-ing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges.

In his initial interview with the Saska-toon Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C.

“When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next homeless shelter anyway.”

Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they figure

will get them through another day. Poli-ticians do it too.

Admitting she knew little about the arrivals, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman has also demonstrated factual flexibility as he presides over the creation of his latest single-room-occupancy drug ghetto in a residential neighbourhood in Victoria.

After quietly proposing a closed-down nursing home called Mount Edwards Court as a temporary solution to the filthy “tent city” that sprang up on provincial property last fall, Coleman abruptly announced from his Langley office Feb. 5 that the building had been bought and partly renovated for $4 million. It would house 38 people for up to a year.

I asked him if the purchase meant the conversion of Mount Edwards into permanent “low-barrier” housing for 100 people was a “done deal,” as area residents believe. “They’re wrong,” Cole-

man indignantly replied, adding there would be community consultation over the next year.

In subsequent comments to reporters, he said the province doesn’t really need city zoning, but will apply for it anyway. (That won’t be a problem with Victoria’s far-left city council, which is keen to add a supervised injection site too).

On Feb. 24, Coleman was asked if he is concerned that the 88 housing units at two locations would fill up and other transients would arrive to take their place. By that time the tent squat appeared to have about 100 people in residence, with the usual overdoses, violence and prostitution.

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provid-ed.

The next day, he was asked if tran-sitional accommodations would be sufficient to end the camp.

“They’re not actually all that transi-tional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.”

Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, anoth-er 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp.

A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says.

Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Surrey has long been faced with choosing between a clearcut and a hard place when it comes to develop-ment in the city.

Despite a tree-preservation bylaw enacted a decade ago, the number of large trees cut down has steadily risen over the years.

Th is isn’t surprising given Surrey’s demographics: a rapidly growing regional centre, a population top-heavy with young families, and a burgeoning real estate market that shows no signs of slowing.

In 2015, Surrey recorded more than $1 billion worth of residential construction – the second-highest value in the city’s history. Th e projects were equally split between single-family dwellings, hous-es with secondary suites and townhomes, and condos.

So it should come as no shock that 2015 was also

the year the city recorded a 28-per-cent increase over 2014 in the number of trees cut down.

More than 8,500 by-law-sized trees (30 centime-tres in diameter at breast height) fell to the axe in 2015 – an increase of 1,848 large trees cut down in 2014.

Th e average annual cut of bylaw-sized trees over the last 12 years amounts to 7,850, so by comparison, 2015 was not a good year for friends of the forest.

But here’s the rub: How to accommodate more people without wandering into the woods?

Residents are regularly – and rightfully – rankled when they see trees cut down en masse, particularly from one of the many unassuming pockets of green space dotted throughout the city.

North Surrey senior Ray-mond Griffi th was recently angered by the razing of huge trees near his home as part of a city sewer project.

“Was it really necessary to remove all those big, beauti-ful cedar trees?” he wondered.

It’s a valid question. While trees such as cottonwood or alder – often referred to by council and staff as “scrub” trees – usually must come down because they don’t survive development well, it’s harder to explain the need to get rid of the city’s gentle giants.

Does Surrey and the rest of Metro Vancouver need more housing? Yes. Can offi cials make environmentally smart decisions that better pro-tect and/or replace existing trees? Th ey must. It’s the only way to ensure all those new homes are worth living in.

I hope the City of Surrey can provide a good reason as to why at least a dozen mature cedar trees were cut down at the foot of Glen Avon Drive bordering the Port Mann Bridge.

This area borders a stream and is also home to birds and wildlife.

There is an old saying, “let it be.” When is this madness of cutting down trees at the expense of prog-ress going to stop?

R.W. GriffithSurrey

As someone who has to frequently and regularly take a family member for treatments at Surrey Me-morial Hospital and for lab tests at the Jim Pattison Outpatient and Surgery Centre, I find the parking fees to be outrageously high and exorbitant.

It is $ 4.50 for the first half-hour followed by $3.50 for every additional half-hour. By the time all is said and done, we end up spending close to $20 in parking fees alone at the hospital for each visit.

How can the general public earning a meagre

minimum wage and the retirees who are on an unspeakably low fixed income afford a hospital visit to receive much-need-ed medical care?

Our politicians need to wake up, smell the coffee and start looking at the realities of real life on the nation’s streets and start figuring out how they really are going to help the people of this great coun-try live better lives.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the parking fees include, believe it or not, a 22-per-cent parking tax.

If we, the citizens of Canada, are going to be continually taxed to death by our municipal, provin-cial and federal authori-ties, then is there a point in visiting the hospitals in the first place?

▼ 10-LANE MEGA BRIDGE TO REPLACE MASSEY TUNNEL A HARBINGER OF BAD THINGS

So just why is the perfectly good George Massey Tunnel being re-placed by a $3.5-billion bridge?

It is not about congestion or rush-hour gridlock. In fact the current government does not give a hoot about those issues, as recent Freedom of Information documents received by Richmond Coun. Harold Steves show.

It is about B.C. Liberals’ friends, Port Metro Vancouver and Fraser Surrey Docks lobbying the gov-ernment for a bridge replacing the tunnel so they can bring larger draught ships up the Fraser to their facilities.

Silly me. I thought the Roberts Bank super port was built to service large ships, leaving the environmen-tally challenged Fraser alone.

Why is Richmond council wor-ried? Simple, the new bridge will move gridlock and congestion to Richmond, as roads and highways cannot cope with more traffic.

The new 10-lane mega bridge is the harbinger of endemic gridlock in Richmond and massive develop-ment (destruction) of Burns Bog and all ALR lands in Delta as Metro Port Vancouver turns the Fraser estuary into a massive commodity port in contrary to Metro Vancouver planning.

Those on Delta council who sup-port this bridge also support mas-sive urban sprawl, traffic gridlock, the destruction of the ALR and new tax increases to pay for municipal infrastructure upgrades to cater to the new development.

I am tired of subsidizing B.C. Liberals’ hugely expensive vanity projects. I am tired of paying higher taxes to subsidize government insiders’ grand development plans, seemingly done on the back of an envelope.

If Port Metro Vancouver and Fraser Surrey Docks want a new bridge, let them pay for it as well as highway upgrades and a new bridge to Vancouver/Burnaby. It’s only fair.

Let’s bring honesty back into the planning process; honesty which those supporting a new bridge seem to lack.

Radio India’s former manag-ing director, Maninder Singh Gill, has been found guilty in a daytime shooting that took place outside a wedding in 2010.

On Th ursday (March 10) in B.C. Supreme Court in Van-couver, Gill was convicted of fi ve of the six charges he faced: aggravated assault, discharging a fi rearm with intent to wound or disfi gure, pointing a fi re-arm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and inten-tionally discharging a fi rearm

while reckless. He was acquitted on a second charge of discharging a fi rearm with intent to wound or disfi gure.

Th e charges stemmed from an incident in the Guru Nanak Gurdwara’s parking lot near 120 Street and 70 Avenue on Aug. 28, 2010 that left Harjit Singh Atwal with a bullet wound to his leg for which he required surgery.

While Gill claimed the shooting was in self-defence – that he fi red the gun only af-ter being attacked by Atwal and two other men – Atwal argued he had no contact with Gill until moments before he was shot.

Th e judge did not buy Gill’s self-defence claim, fi nding him guilty on all but one charge.

Gill and Atwal have had legal dealings previous-ly, as Atwal fi led a civil lawsuit and against Gill and Radio India for comments made on air in early 2010.

In 2013, NDP MP Jinny Sims

was criticized after she awarded Gill a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for his charity work.

Gill’s sentencing is scheduled for May 10.

A man whose dog broke its leg when it fell into a hole on a Surrey path has lost a legal bid to have the City of Surrey pay the vet bills.

Tomas Lichy was walking the family dog, Knightley, on a cycle path at night beneath

the SkyTrain tracks near University Drive and 105A Street in October 2014 when the dog fell in a hole in the pavement.

Th e 35-kilogram greyhound suff ered an abrasion to his chin as well as the broken limb.

Lichy sued the city in small claims court, saying it was negligent in its inspection of the path, asking for about $2,700 to cover veterinarian bills and another $200 for legal fi ling and service fees.

Th e hole was one where a bollard block-ing vehicles would usually be placed. Th e city’s acting manager for roads and drain-age (north) testifi ed, telling the judge how many inspectors the city has and how frequently each sector of the neighbourhood is inspected. He also noted such bollards and their brass locks are sometimes stolen and sold for the metal content.

In her Feb. 22 deci-sion, B.C. Provincial

Court Judge Kathryn Ferriss said the city’s policies and deci-sion-making appeared reasonable.

“Th ere is no evi-dence that the City was instrumental in removing the bollard and failing to replace it,” wrote Ferriss in dis-missing Lichy’s claim, adding there was also no evidence work crews had been there at the time, that inspections were done improperly or that workers failed to notice the bollard was missing.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

LeaderThe

In partnership with Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation

S henaz Singh is the Pharmacist/Owner of the

Shoppers Drug Mart located in the Jim Pattison

Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. Her

store, along with twelve others in Surrey and Langley,

partnered with the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre

Foundation and raised $27,535 to help purchase a

portable ultrasound machine for the world renowned

Breast Health Clinic in the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care

and Surgery Centre.

“Working in the Jim Pattison building,” says Shenaz,

“I meet patients every day that are affected by breast

cancer. These brave women have brought it close to

home and remind me that breast cancer can affect

anyone. By supporting the Breast Health Clinic, we are

helping our community and committing to improving

women’s health, which is the focus of the Shoppers

LOVE YOU campaign.”

Shoppers Drug Mart is Canada’s leading drug store

retailer with more than 1,300 pharmacist-owned

locations from coast to coast. The Shoppers LOVE YOU

campaign runs for four weeks every fall. Customers

purchase and personalize a “Growing Women’s Health”

icon – a leaf, butterfl y, apple, or bird – which is then

displayed at that store. One hundred per cent of all

donations go to the local women’s health organization

the Shoppers team has chosen to support.

Thanks to the help of Shoppers, their customers and

other generous donors, only $24,000 remains to be

raised for the purchase of a portable ultrasound for the

Breast Health Clinic. The portable machine will be used

exclusively for guided breast biopsies which provide

tissue samples to conclusively diagnose a breast lump.

Access to this technology will reduce wait times for

defi nitive diagnosis.

Shenaz has been with Shoppers Drug Mart for over

ten years, and has been a Pharmacist/Owner for three

years. Shenaz notes that since December 2012, they

have donated over $55,000 to Breast Health and other

areas of need within Surrey Memorial Hospital and

Outpatient Centre.

TransLink is sticking to its plan to close all SkyTrain fare gates in early April, but now says it will have nearly all stations staff ed most of the time to assist passengers in wheelchairs who can’t tap Compass card readers.

Minister for TransLink Peter Fassbender last week directed TransLink to not close the system entirely until there’s a solution to deal with those severely disabled passengers who have no arm movement.

TransLink said in a statement one acces-sible gate will be left open at stations at times when staff are not present.

A spokesman said the expectation is the vast majority of able-bod-ied passengers using SkyTrain from 6:30 a.m. through 7 p.m. will face a fully gated system as of April 8.

Passengers are being told they will have to have a valid Compass card or Compass ticket

within fare-paid zones starting April 4, when the closures will start being phased in.

Old pre-paid Fare-Saver tickets will no longer be valid then and someone who gets on through an un-staff ed open accessible gate may encounter a closed gate when they try to exit SkyTrain at another station.

Th ey’d have to buy a Compass exit ticket from vending machines in the fare-paid zone in order to open the gates.

Th e extra staffi ng will be done through the existing budget at no increased cost to TransLink, the spokes-man said, but was unable to say if that means sacrifi cing staff hours to perform other duties.

TransLink is also proceeding with its planned station assis-tance service where disabled passengers

can phone for assis-tance. Similar assis-tance is provided to the visually impaired.

Also continuing, offi cials say, is work towards a better long-term solution for the severely disabled to open fare gates.

Fassbender said he supports TransLink’s revised interim solu-tion to deliver unfet-tered access.

“I am satisfi ed that they have met our request that they make sure that the people who have disabilities have access the same as anyone else, and in do-ing that they’re treated with the respect they deserve as well.”

As for a permanent solution, he noted other transit systems have a mechanism for wheelchair users to trigger the gates using a radio-frequen-cy enabled device, or through an app on their phones.

When the Vancouver Giants take to the ice for their final home game of the season Friday night in the Pacific Coliseum, it will be the last time Trevor Cox will play a Western Hockey League (*WHL) game in front of friends and family.

The 20-year-old from Surrey is completing his over-age season in the WHL this year, one that will end Saturday night in Kelowna. With the Giants missing the playoffs, Cox won’t have a

chance to participate in the WHL postseason tournament for a fifth time in as many seasons.

“I have no regrets,” said the five-foot-eight left winger, who was traded to Vancouver from the Medicine Hat Tigers, where he played for the first four seasons of his WHL career.

“I just remember when I started, a veteran told me to

enjoy it because it goes by so fast. And he was right, I played five years and it went by so quick.”

Cox was just 16 when he went to Medicine Hat, making the jump to Major

Junior hockey from the BC Hockey Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks.

He improved his goal total each year in Medicine Hat, scoring 10 goals

in his rookie season, then putting up season totals of 16, 25 and 29. His point totals also went up year-by-year with the Tigers, and

last year had his best season as a junior with 109 points.

After scoring four times and adding four assists in six games with the Tigers this season, he was sent to Vancouver in a trade. As a Giant, he had 13 goals and 51 points in 48 games.

“The trade caught me by surprise,” Cox admitted. “But it was good. I could go to practice in Delta, and be home with my family 20 minutes later.”

Although his numbers didn’t match those of his final two seasons in Alberta, Cox has been able to reach some milestones. He recently reached the 200-assist and

Like the rest of the province learned through-out the season, the Tamanawis Wildcats discovered there was no way to keep up to the Kelowna Owls.

The Wildcats lost 87-72 to the Owls in the championship game of the B.C. Senior 4A boys high school basketball tournament Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Kelowna led from start to finish, and with the exception of a third-quarter rally by Tamanawis, were never chal-lenged.

The Owls, winners of all 23 games played against B.C. opposition this season, scored the first seven points of the game and sprinted to a 22-12 lead after the first quarter. Kelow-na stretched the advantage to 35-15 early in the second quarter and led by 16 at the half.

After making some adjustments at halftime, Ta-manawis outscored the Owls 23-14 in the third quarter to cut the dif-ference to seven points, but it was as close as they would come.

“We missed a couple of easy buckets early and that rattled some

of our guys. They missed some shots then jogged back on defense, so (Kelowna) got up on us early,” said Wildcats head coach Mike McK-ay. “We got it down to seven, then they hit two or three three-pointers in a row and we didn’t answer.

Even in defeat, the Tamanawis Wildcats made a bit of history at the tournament, as they became the first public school from the Surrey district to reach the final since the North Sur-rey Spartans in 1983.

“Absolutely,” answered McKay when asked

Cox to fi nish junior career with ‘no regrets’

if the Wildcats were proud of the accom-plishment, adding the team is poised for another run next year.

“I think the guys will be a little angry about tonight. They’ll get back to training and we’ll see if we can make another run next year.”

Only four play-ers on the Wildcats roster are in Grade 12, including forward Gary Sahota and second-team all-star Sagar Dulay. Both players scored 16 points in Saturday’s championship game.

Among the return-ees are Grade 10 point guard and first team all-star Miguel Tomley, who led Tamanawis Saturday with 26 points and 13 rebounds, six-foot-six Grade 11 forward Gurman Bhangu and six-foot-four Grade 11 guard Fanta Lado.

Three other Surrey schools were also in the 16-team field at the provincial champi-onship tournament.

Panorama Ridge edged the Holy Cross Crusaders 74-73 Saturday afternoon to place seventh, leaving the Crusaders in eighth place.

The Thunder pulled off what some observers said was the biggest upset in tournament history Wednesday afternoon. Seeded 15th, Panora-ma Ridge knocked off the second-seed Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs 64-54.

Harsiman Bhullar with 17 points, Her-man Sahota with 14 and Chuks Udevi with 12 paced the Thunder,

who won two of four games at the tourna-ment.

The ninth-seed Cru-saders also reached the quarterfinal stage until they were knocked out of cham-pionship contention with a 92-64 loss to

the Owls.The 11th-seed

North Surrey Spar-tans were the fourth Surrey team in the tournament, losing in the first round 62-50 to the Kitsilano Blue Demons. The Spar-tans then won two

of three consolation games.

The four Surrey teams to qualify for a provincial tourna-ment at the highest level is most ever in the 71 years of the B.C. championships.

“In the last four or

five years, it’s really starting to pick up,” said McKay. “For along time, there were a lot of transient students going from school to school and coaches not staying in one place. Now you’ve got (coaches) like Ed Lefurgy at Semi-ahmoo, Raj Bagry at Tweedsmuir, and Murray (McDonald) is back at North Surrey. So I think Surrey bas-

ketball is on the rise.” The Pacific Acad-

emy Breakers and Delview Raiders quali-fied for the provincial championship in the Senior AA category. Neither school placed in the top nine, but Daniel Adediran of Pa-cific Academy won the Best Defensive Player award.

The Breakers won one of three games, the lone win on the

second day, a 75-70 victory over the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops. Adediran had a double-double in the win, scoring 36 points and adding a dozen rebounds.

Delview won two of four games, including a 70-64 decision over the Breakers Saturday afternoon. The Raiders also defeated the Kelly Road Roadrunners 77-69 on Thursday.

300-point plateaus, and is three goals shy of 100 career goals.

“I’m proud of the milestones I’ve achieved,” he said. “What-ever happens next season, I know I gave it my best.”

Next season is an unknown for Cox. Undrafted, he may be offered a professional contract at the minor league level over the summer, but for now, the final week of the WHL season is all that matters.

“I’m not worried about next season, a few things might happen, but I’m not concen-trating on it.

“We have (two) games left, I’ll just go out and play the same way as always, and show

what I can do.”The Giants dropped two

games last weekend, falling 5-1 on home ice to the Port-land Winterhawks Friday night the losing 2-1 in a shootout on the road Saturday against the Kamloops Blazers.

In Friday’s game, the Winter-hawks led 1-0 after one period and 5-2 after two.

Owen Hardy netted Vancou-ver’s first goal two minutes into the second frame to tie the scored at 1-1. Cox tallied his 17th of the season on the powerplay with seven min-utes to play to close out the scoring.

The Giants outshot Portland 32-29, and went one-for-four on the powerplay. The Win-terhawks scored once on three

powerplay chances.Ryan Kubic was in goal for

Kamloops Saturday night, tak-ing the Blazers to a shootout before losing.

Radovan Bondra put the Giants up 1-0 midway through the second period, but the Blazers drew even seven min-utes into the third period.

Kubic was again in goal, making 38 saves as the Giants were outshot 39-31.

The Giants will close out their season with two games against the Kelowna Rockets. The two teams play Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Pacif-ic Coliseum then face-off for a rematch in Kelowna Saturday evening.

Indian field hockey legend and Olympian Balbir Singh Sr. brought his story to SFU’s Surrey campus on March 5.

Singh participated in an interview-style discussion with journalist and former SFU student Patrick Blenner-hassett, who wrote a new book about Singh.

Blennerhassett travelled to Chandigarh, India to doc-ument his story, and found a momentous life that was lost through the decades.

“A Forgotten Legend: Balbir Singh Sr., Triple Olympic Gold & Modi’s New India,” celebrates the sports hero and his story of resilience, redemption and survival.

Singh Sr., now 92, won Olympic gold while competing for India in 1948, 1952 and 1956.

He is now a Canadian citizen.

Th e Guru Nanak Free Kitchen met with more than 100 Syrian Refugee children recently to distribute over 300 toys to the youth.

Randeep Sarai, MP for Surrey-Centre, welcomed the families to Canada on behalf of the Canadian government, stating, “We want to welcome you to Canada, you are great kids, and we hope you will have a great future in Canada.”

Paul Hundle, Daljit Sumbal and Dal Purewal represented Guru Nanak’s Free Kitchen, and distributed toys that their community-based organization had gathered in a toy drive.

“It is heart warming to see how such a small act of kindness can put a smile on the kids’ faces,” said Hundle.

“The toys handed out are only one-third of the toys that had been collect-ed,” said Sumbal. “We are looking forward to distributing the remainder of the toys as more families arrive in Surrey in the following weeks.”

Currently, there are more than 100 children between the ages of four and 12 who are being resettled in Surrey as they make Canada their new home. About 25,000 Syrian refugees have now settled in Canada.
