SURRey the Surrey Christmasbureau has found a home for the holidays,and its in Guildford this year.the organization is setting up shop in
the former liquidationWorld at 14885108th ave.We really appreciate the generosity of
GWl Realty advisors in allowing us to usethis very large and welcoming place as ourtoy depot, said bureau co-ordinator K.C.Gilroy. It will work well for registrantsand donors alike.Finding a space large enough for its
operations is something the bureaustruggles with every year.as Gilroy always says, the group finds
itself one step ahead of the bulldozer,often operating out of empty grocerystores, warehouses or open-plan offices.Usually, the group hunts for a spacebetween 6,000 and 8,000 square feet.but this years location is a whopping
38,000 square feet.the old liquidationWorld space is
currently being re-purposed into a hub offestive activity as dozens of volunteers deckthe halls and gear up for registration, set tokick off today (tuesday, nov. 18).last year close to 1,700 families were
sponsored through the adopt a Familyprogram, or received toys and grocerycertificates directly from the bureau.With Surrey growing at such a rapid rate,
each year there are more families that fallwell under the poverty line and, therefore,
become eligible for Christmas bureausupport.eligible families with children 16 and
under can apply by bringing photo ID,all income info and proof of residence inSurrey. the bureau will be open Mondaythrough Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.beginning nov. 18. For more information,or to donate, call 604-581-9623 or visitChristmasbureau.com.

OttaWaMothers in Surrey spend thebiggest chunk of their income on child carein the province, and the second most in allof Canada according to a new study by theCanadian Centre for Policy alternatives.based on the results of an analysis of 22
of Canadas largest cities, Surrey comes insecond only to brampton,Ont., for expensivechild care when compared to medianincomes. the Parent trap, authored by DavidMacdonald andMartha Friendly, was madepublic onMonday (nov. 10).affordable child care is an important issue
not only for parents but also for the Canadianeconomy as it plays a significant role in labourforce participation, particularly for women,notes the study.When parents are given anaffordable choice, they choose to work, whichincreases incomes for all Canadians.the study measured affordability by
looking at the median cost of child care ascompared to median income for women aged25 to 34 in each of the 22 cities.nearly 35 per cent of a Surrey mothers
income goes to child care,making it thesecond highest in the nation and roughly theequivalent of four months of full-time work.the median income for a working Surreymother is $2,791.43 a month.Median child care fees for infants and
toddlers are nearly $1,000 a month in Surrey,at $977. that number is slightly lower for pre-schoolers, at $868 a month.the study was critical of Canadas
international role in child care, noting thatfor early childhood education and care,Canada spends the fifth-lowest as a share ofGDP among all OeCD (Organization foreconomic Co-operation and Development)nations, despite having high employmentrates. as Canadian parents are workingparents, child care fees can play a majorrole in decision-making and labour forceparticipation, particularly for women, notesthe study.the Canadian Centre for Policy alternatives
is a left-leaning think tank that frequentlyadvocates for more social spending from alllevels of government.

SOUtH SURRey theatre-goerscan once again catch a flick at the re-opened Rialto twin theatre.the South Surrey landmark,
previously owned by Criterionentertainment, is the last 35mm filmtheatre in british Columbia. It shutits doors in april of this year citing ashrinking demand for 35mm prints.RahimManji, who owns the
Hollywood 3 Cinemas in newton and
also ran burnabys Dolphin theatreCinemas until its recent May closure,decided to bring the indie theatre backto life, and said hes had hundreds ofvisitors since they turned the lights backon at the 152nd Street venue on Oct. 31.I found out that if it wasnt going to
be done, it was going to be demolished,and it was time for someone to stepup,Manji told the Now.the independent-theatre mogul
said he didnt want to see the theatrestamped out by development,nor have citizens go elsewhere forentertainment.
We tried to take that leap of faith,he said.Manji also acquired South Surreys
Caprice theatre in the same week.as for keeping the 35mm flicks alive,
well, that will soon be coming to anend.thirty-five (millimetre) is a thingof the past now,Manji said, notingthat one of the two screens has alreadybeen converted to digital. the Capricescreens have also gone digital, and boththeatres have new sound systems.

With December fast approaching, the thought of lining up at big box stores during the holidayseason tires out most shoppers before they even leave the house. Another option is to drop byBellingham for their first ever Shop Small Saturday event.
Its something new were doing this year, said Kyle Fuller, director of marketing at the Downtown BellinghamPartnership.
Theres kind of an emphasis on shopping locally, especially after Black Friday (one of the busiest national shopping daysof the year). Were going to have carollers and buskers, and all the stores downtown will have ribbons in the windowsand refreshments. Were showing why supporting local businesses matter.
For more family-oriented activities, Fuller suggests checking out the annual downtown Bellingham treelighting ceremony at the Depot Market Square featuring live entertainment and a visit from the mayor.Immediately following the lighting is an Art Walk, where visitors can go on a self-guided tour throughvarious galleries, restaurants and other venues to enjoy creations by local artists.
What are the holidays without a visit to Santa? About three miles away in thehistoric town of Fairhaven, kids can make their wishes heard when Mr. and Mrs.Claus drop by the Victorian gazebo at the corner of Harris Avenue and 10th Streeton Nov. 28 from 3 to 4:50 p.m. At 5 p.m., Fairhaven will be hosting its own Lighting of the Treesat the Village Green with a performance by Bellingham Highs Showstoppers, a 20-member vocalensemble.
If you miss St. Nicks first appearance, worry not he will be back in town offering freehorse-drawn carriage rides every Saturday from Nov. 29 to Dec. 20 at theFairhaven Village Inn.
For more free activities, the Holiday Port Festival takes place Dec. 5 to 7at the nearby Bellingham Cruise Terminal. There will be choirs, bands anddancers performing, a gingerbread house display, fire truck rides and hotapple cider. Bring a non-perishable food item to support the BellinghamFood Bank.
For more information on holiday events in Fairhaven and downtownBellingham, visit fairhaven.com and downtownbellingham.com.

The Editor,I was very glad to see so many others
lined up with me to vote in the civicelection today.as Im writing this, its only 6:30
p.m., so I dont know who was elected,but for the eight council and six schoolboard seats, Im sure our preferences asvoters will be reflected in the results.However, I dont think thats true for
the mayors position.With seven people running for
mayor in our current first past thepost system, its conceivable thatsomeone who got just a bit over one-
seventh of the votes could becomemayor.Of course thats not likely, but if only
four were running, the mayor couldbe elected by the votes of just over 25per cent of the voters. this doesnt feeldemocratic, no matter who eventuallywins the position.Please, city council, can we adopt a
preferential-ballot voting system forall mayoral elections? that way, wevoters could specify our first, secondand third choices for the position and,if our first choice candidate has theleast number of votes, then our second
choice candidate would get our vote and so on, until one candidate has amajority of the votes.Sixty per cent of b.C. voters voted
in support of this transferable votemethod for provincial elections in2009; its used in Ireland, Scotland,India, Pakistan, australia, new Zealandand Iceland. lets do it this way inSurrey, too and then wed knowthat our mayor would always be thepreference of a majority of Surreyvoters.

your view
Whether youre pleased or not with yourlocal civic election results, you have togive credit to residents for turning outto vote in the numbers they did.It was a step in the right direction but voter
turnout still could have been much better.nevertheless, who had anticipated such long
snaking lineups at polling stations?In Surrey, just over 100,000 people voted in
Saturdays election, up from 70,253 in 2011.Of 287,940 eligible voters, 101,558 cast a ballot
a 35.3 per cent voter turnout.thats up from both 2008 and 2011 elections,
which saw a 24.1 per cent and 25 per cent turnoutrespectively, but is close to the 2005 civic electionwhere Dianne Watts defeated then-mayor DougMcCallum.In that race, 35.1 per cent of the electorate
voted.In Saturdays election,White Rock also saw an
increase in residents voting, at 34 per cent turnoutcompared to 29.88 per cent in 2011.Delta, unlike Surrey and White Rock, saw fewer
voters 32.11 per cent turnout this year comparedto 33.50 per cent in 2011 but that decreasedoesnt signify much, seeing as nobody challengedincumbent lois Jackson for the mayors chair.While Jacksons local counterparts, Surrey Firsts
linda Hepner and incumbent White Rock MayorWayne baldwin pretty much smote their rivals atthe polls, both would do well to remember that agood number of people voted for someone else.Hepner won a commanding 50,782 votes, earningher and Surrey First a strong mandate, but 53,832people wanted someone else in the big chair. Sheand Surrey Firsts city councillors-elect must reachout to them.Congratulations are in order for Hepner,
baldwin, Jackson and the councillors and schooltrustees who were elected on Saturday.a thank-you is also in order for those
candidates who werent elected but gave it theirbest.

Debate
the latest move to study (and perhapseventually reduce) problem gamblingis welcome news, but dont think for aminute its a sign the provincial governmentis any less voracious when it comes togobbling up money from gamblers.last week saw the establishment of the
new Centre for Gambling Research at theUniversity of b.C. a UbC news releasesaid the centres key goals are probing thepsychology of gambling, helping problemgamblers and enhancing gaming policy.there will be a casino lab created in
the centre, which sounds nifty. It will haveslot machines and other games, and it willmeasure things like heart rates and brainresponses of gamblers.the whole thing is being paid for by a $2-
million grant from the b.C. government andthe b.C. lottery Corporation. this is all welland good.but if you think that grant is guilt
money, you would be correct.the b.C. government, like every other
provincial government (if not governmentspretty much everywhere), long ago becameaddicted to revenues flowing its way fromthe gambling industry.It wasnt always like this of course. For
decades if a person wanted to gamble legally(I stress that word) in this province, suchactivities were basically confined to horseracing, the crown and anchor wheel on thecarnival midway (I used to operate one, bythe way) and perhaps an annual Grey Cuppool or the old Irish Hospital Sweepstakeshorse race.that changed in the mid-1970s, when a
national lottery was established to help payfor Montreals Olympic Games in 1976. theOlympics came and went, but the lotterystayed.
then, in 1985, provinces were givencontrol of gambling. One can just imagineprovincial financial ministers of the daysalivating at the prospect of a whole newrevenue stream being opened up to them.and open it up it did, as provincial
lotteries became bigger and bigger.eventually, casinos were brought into being,and with them the biggest cash cow of all:slot machines and other electronic gamemachines.by 2002, revenues for the b.C.
government broke through the $500 millionlevel. Since then, they have doubled toalmost $1.2 billion expecting to come in thisyear.that money is distributed, in part, to non-
profit arts, culture and sports groups (likeyour local little league baseball team) andto municipalities that host casinos (whichhelps explain the often muted opposition togaming expansion by municipalities). butthe vast majority (almost $900 million) goesto the governments general revenue fund.the governments direct share of the
gambling pie is enough to fund, to pickjust one area, what the government spendson all social services in an entire year. thisisnt chump change were talking aboutfolks, which is why any notion that thegovernment any government is goingto spend gobs of cash treating problemgamblers has dim prospects of becomingreality.there are valid arguments to curtail a
casinos operating hours, reduce the numberof slot machines (which are particularlyinsidious when it comes to attractingproblem gamblers) and any number of othermeasures aimed at making gambling a bitharder to access.but the fact is, even with that $2 million
grant for UbC, the money spent annuallyon problem gambling is less than one percent of the profits government earn on thatactivity.and as long as governments refuse to
even have a dialogue about revisiting our taxsystem, they will continue to look greedily
at any prospective revenues that allow themto meet ever-rising public expectations forgovernment services, whether they are forhealth care, education, social services, orwhatever.So until a political party stakes out new
turf, and puts things like an income tax hike,a substantial corporate tax increase, or a bigreduction in spending, revenue generatorslike the gambling industry will continue tobe an indispensible part of the social fabric,as distasteful as many people find that.b.C. Provincial Health Officer Perry
Kendall, in his groundbreaking report ongambling released last year, has estimatedthere are about 31,000 people struggling, atvarious degrees, with problem gambling inthis province.but even with laudable measures being
taken, such as establishing the Centre forGambling Research at UbC, Im afraid manyof those people will end being collateraldamage resulting from the governmentsceaseless efforts to find money to pay for thethings that everyone wants but dont reallywant to pay any more for them.

The Editor,as I offer my public congratulations
toWayne baldwin and the closelyaligned coalition on their electoralvictory in this past Saturdays WhiteRock civic election, I would like to thankall those who supported the campaignto elect Dennis lypka toWhite Rock citycouncil, as well as those citizens whochose to vote.While it is gratifying to see the voter
turnout increase from 29 per cent in2011 to 34 per cent in 2014, we still havea long ways to go ensuring that moreof us fully exercise our much-cherisheddemocratic right to chose our leaders.although the citizens of White Rock
have plainly spoken and chosen theirelected leaders of our community for thenext four years, all of whom I personallyacknowledge and congratulate, I wouldremind the mayor and the electedmembers of the coalition that evenwith only about one-third of all eligibleWhite Rock voters choosing to vote,less than 50 per cent of the total voteswere cast for baldwin and all six of thecoalition candidates.as just one individual of that majority
of other voters, I would remind youon behalf of the majority that as youunveil to us your vision of our city, yourthoughts and actions should be temperedto duly consider the interests of themajority of voters who chose not to giveyou their support at the ballot box.

SURRey Surrey residents have spokenand for the second time in a row, theywanted Surrey First.linda Hepner and her team swept all the
council seats Saturday night, just as the slatedid in 2011.according to the citys election results,
Hepner received 50,782 votes, nearly doublethat of her nearest opponent. Safe SurreyCoalitions Doug McCallum and OneSurreys barinder Rasode were far behind,with 27,982 and 21,764 respectively. Hepnertook roughly 49 per cent of the vote.Saturday, the city said a total of 101,558
ballots were cast a 35.3 per cent voterturnout up from 70,253 in 2011.Cheers exploded from the crowd of at
least 400 at Central City brew Pub, SurreyFirsts campaign headquarters, as Hepnerentered the room around 9:30 p.m.,escorted to the stage by Surrey fire fightersin a crowd that resembled a moshpit.Outgoing Mayor DianneWatts
introduced Hepner her chosenreplacement as she took the stage.We did it! the mayor-elect yelled as she
took the podium to the teams victory songof choice I Gotta Feeling by black eyedPeas. We are not going back.We are goingforward.She thanked the crowd, adding, Surrey
has spoken loud and clear.Hepner took time during her speech to
pay respects to Watts.Weve worked hard together, weve
campaigned together and through it all,weve done everything we should to makesurrey politics came second and Surreycame first, she said. City hall is not goingto be the same without her and she is byany measure, one of a kind.She has changed the way all of us look
and think of our city. and she has changedthe way others see us.We are going to havea good time when were working togetherfor the city when she is in Ottawa.
Over at Rasodes camp, the mood wasmore sombre.the City of Surrey has spoken, Rasode
said after she conceded to Hepner. but Imreally proud of the fact that we brought theissue of crime to the forefront and thatswhat I was hearing from the communityassociations. I think we brought the issuesreally relevant to the residents to the table.Rasode said she will now rejoin the
workforce and spend time with herchildren, and plans to maintain a role inSurrey as a community activist.asked about rumours that she might run
for office at another level, she said thatsexactly what those are rumours. Myheart and commitment is to Surrey at themunicipal level and Im pleased to play arole without being elected, she said.Former mayor McCallum said he was
surprised by the results.We didnt see it coming. In fact,
we saw the opposite,McCallum latertold reporters in a scrum at his partysheadquarters.Saturdays defeat, he said, was a real
disappointment but nevertheless, headded, thats fair enough, and thats whatthey have decided to do tonight, and Surreywill move forward.Of 52 polling stations, McCallum topped
11 (W.e. Kinvig elementary, tamanwisSecondary, Strawberry Hill elementary,Simon Cunningham elementary, newtonelementary, Kirkbride elementary, Greentimbers elementary, Chimney Hillelementary, Cindrich elementary, CougarCreek elementary and Panorama RidgeSecondary, ) and Rasode, just one (electionheadquarters).the race to replace the departing Mayor
DianneWatts was expected to be a closeone, with a recent Insights West pollshowing the big three in a dead heat.
also seeking the mayors chair wereindependents Grant Rice, Vikram bajwa,JohnWolanski and John edwards.all eight Surrey First council candidates
Judy Villeneuve, tom Gill, Mary Martin,barbara Steele, Vera leFranc, MikeStarchuk, Dave Woods and bruce Hayne were elected.Former Surrey First councillor Marvin
Hunt was in the crowd Saturday night, andsaid he wasnt surprised at all to see hisformer team take the election.I didnt sense in the community a real
problem with Surrey First, Hunt said.I felt that the community was feelingconfident about what weve done and whatweve accomplished.... the results that yousee here, are really saying that the directionthat Surrey First and Dianne has led us in,they want to see that continue.

healthy, interestingdebates where peopleare listening to cityhall. this is what

Sylvia bishop, bruceMcDonald, JeannieKanakos and Robert Campbell on council.She takes the seat vacated by Scott Hamilton,
who is now the liberalMla for Delta north.McDonald,who finished fourth in the polls,
said he wasnt surprised all the incumbentswere returned.He said there werent any hugeissues facing council that would have createda large voter turnout and a change in thecomplexion of local government.He also said the campaign lost some spark
because there wasnt amayoral race.Campbell, whowas returned for a sixth term
on council, said hes happy to be back.He saidfaces have been changing on council over theyears, but only incrementally.
Mayor lois Jackson,whowas acclaimed fora sixth term after no challengers came forward,said she was pleased there wasnt a significantdrop off in voter turnout given there was nomayors race.Voter turnout was 32.11 per cent, slightly
below the 33.5 per cent in 2011.She said they really pushed hard to get the

Dixon,whowas board chair in the previousterm, had endorsed burke during thecampaign andwas sorry to see she did not getre-elected.Donnas loss will be keenly felt,Dixon
said.Im really sad that she wasnt successfultonight.Reid and bennett both received the

SURRey If youre a defeated mayoralcandidate making his concession speech,you dont want to be drowned out by musicbooming from the banquet hall room nextdoor.you especially dont want that song to be
louis b. armstrongs What a WonderfulWorld.Still, Surrey mayoral candidate Doug
McCallum and his four Safe SurreyCoalition running mates, all shut out inSaturday nights election, put on bravefaces as they faced supporters at Dhaliwalbanquet Hall in newton.McCallum congratulated mayor-
elect linda Hepner, of Surrey First, whodefeated him with 50,782 votes to his27,982.We didnt see it coming. In fact, we
saw the opposite,McCallum later toldreporters in a scrum.McCallum served as Surreys mayor from
1996 to 2005, when he was defeated byDianne Watts while seeking a fourth term.He praised his fellow coalition members
this time out.you will see that the ideas that they
brought forward will come into force in thenext few years, he said.the Safe Surrey Coalition was comprised
of small business owner Rina Gill,community advocate laurie Guerra, lawyerJustin thind and Now editor on leave beauSimpson.It featured eight proposals, namely
to freeze taxes for two years, reversegrowing debt through an aggressiverepayment plan, shut down the Surrey CityDevelopment Corporation (SCDC) andeliminate plans to build a district energyheating system.It also wanted to cut the citys operating
budget by three per cent, chop SurreysRegional economic Summit, andreprioritize and increase funding for thecitys parks, recreation and culture strategicplan.according to McCallum, the SCDC owes
city taxpayers $70 million.McCallum said Saturday that he and
his coalition did a really good job ofpresenting important issues to voters.nevertheless, he said, the coalition itself
was a one-off and wont continue. asked
if hell seek public office again, McCallumtold the Now at this time I dont think Iwill.Saturdays defeat, he said, was a real
disappointment but nevertheless, headded, thats fair enough, and thats whatthey have decided to do tonight, and Surrey
will move forward.Ive always said that Surrey could be a
shining light to the world, how differentcultures can live together and worktogether,McCallum said.Gill came closest to securing a council
seat, coming just under the line with28,100 votes to councillor-elect VeraleFrancs 37,597 votes. She did not addressthe crowd.Meanwhile, Guerra said its people
that make Surrey great, not the fancybuildings.She praised McCallum as an amazing
human being, and thind echoed that.Weve learned so much from this man,he said.Simpson said the coalition had worked
hard for three months, seven days a weekduring the election campaign.lets be proud, he said.Were all proud of the campaign.We
gave it our all.

SURReythe Surrey First brandwill continue to extend beyond thecouncil table as Surrey First educationalso made a clean sweep to takecommand of the Surrey board ofeducation on election night.all six candidates from the coalition
running for school trustee were votedin Saturday (nov. 15), putting SurreyFirst in control of the school district.topping the polls was current trustee
and board vice-chair laurie larsen at49,442 votes, followed by first-timecandidate bob Holmes with 46,142.Its a wonderful feeling, this is
probably the last time Im running andso I couldnt have asked for more, saidlarsen, who was elected to her thirdterm.We have such a good team andeven though were from all kinds ofpolitical affiliations we have a reallycohesive group.Holmes, who will now be leaving his
post as co-president of Surrey DistrictParent advisory Council, said he cant
wait to get towork for theprovinces largestschool district.Ive been
more and moreexcited aboutworking withthis team asthe campaignprogressed so Imlooking forward to improving things asmuch as we can, he said. Im lookingforward to fighting for funding for ourdistrict and trying to make the boardmore open and inclusive to parents ifwe can, I just want to make it better forour kids.Current board chair ShawnWilson
came third with 45,931 votes, whileGarry thind and incumbent terryallen came in fourth and fifth with45,424 and 45,931 votes, respectively.I think we were doing what the
public wanted, and I dont thinkmyself and the team did anything tobetray the public trust, and so we wererewarded by that, saidWilson.Former trustee and council member
Gary tymoschuk also marked hisreturn to Surrey politics, rounding outthe Surrey First education team with41,517 votes.Its very exciting to be elected back
into office, said tymoschuk, whonoted he heard loud and clear thatschool funding was the clear issuegoing into this election. the issuewith school boards is that theres onlyso much money and every candidatecan only say theyre going to lobbyfor more money but none of us canactually say were going to get moremoney.Instead, tymoschuk said hes
looking forward to working onestablishing deeper relationshipswith parents, the city and mostimportantly the province, for whichthe education minister happens to belocated right in Surrey.Its all about building those
relationships, he said.the final trustee position on the
board will go to independent lauraeMcnally, who was acclaimed inWhiteRock in October.

SURReyCommuters may havenoticed Surreys busiest intersection wasa no-goWednesday (nov. 12) as roadcrews essentially shut down half of the88th avenue-King George boulevardcrossing during rush hour.the reason? a behind-schedule
roadwork project that could lead to finesfor contractor Imperial Paving.but for the hundreds of motorists
stuck in what essentially became aparking lot along both 88th avenue andKing George boulevard for upwards oftwo hours, thats likely to be of little relief.We had lots of callsWednesday and
thursday, said Scott neuman,managerof design and construction for the Cityof Surrey.this project is probably thebiggest weve had calls on all year.the project in question is the
reconstruction of the intersectionsof 88th and 76th avenue along
King George boulevard in order toaccommodate bus express lanes, similarto the one found at 96th avenue andKing George. Crews are also repavingparts of 88th avenue around theintersection, hence the lane closures.according to neuman, road crews
are typically granted windows between9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. toclose down parts of major intersectionsbutWednesday proved to be anexception due to the cold weather.Instead we granted them to work
rush hour times just for that day in orderto just to get it done, otherwise it wouldhave dragged out for months, he said.If we didnt do it that day it could havepushed things weeks. So its like pullingoff a band-aid, do you do it slowly, or doyou rip it off? Ripping it off was allowingthe traffic to be really bad for that day.neuman said the project in question
was also behind schedule and theywanted to make sure it was completedbefore the winter weather really kicked in.the contractor started late, it
shouldve been July to October and soits been slow,he said. If a contractordoes not complete their projects ontime, neuman said there are financialpenalties that could imposed by the city.you could get a penalty of about
$1,500 a day, it ranges on the typeof projects, explained neuman.Sometimes its $1,000, sometimes its$3,000. I have to double-check the exactschedule, but I think this one wouldqualify for it.neuman said if there are extenuating
circumstances for delays such as poorweather, extensions are granted in lieuof penalties,but if he (the contractor)started a month late, he could seesignificant penalty.as for communication, neuman said
it was up to the contractor to ensureadequate signage was up informingmotorists of the delays and what toexpect. Hes since requested the Imperialupdate their signs, which had still readRoadwork august October.
Roadwork behind schedule,may lead to fines for contractor

provincial title, hosted the tournamentand with standing room only left in theirgymnasium, the boys swept the Firehawks inthree sets 25-23, 25-19 and 25-15.this was the groups sixth straight
appearance at a Fraser Valley Championshipsfinal, but only their second victory.During the season and local tournaments,
Fraser Heights got the better of earl Marriott,winning all four previous meetings andfinishing the regular season with a perfect 8-0record.Mariners coach bob Smith said that this
was the right game to win.to have this as a way to cap off their high
school careers was special for them,he said.the rivalry was evident. all players were
passionate throughout the game, and it cameto a point where a player from both teamswas issued a warning for unsportsmanlikeconduct for taunting.Firehawks coach James ahn said his team
wasnt mentally prepared for the game andwas outplayed by earl Marriott.We just werent mentally ready to battle.
they out blocked us. they won those keybattles and we werent ready to do all thedirty stuff to win those tight games,ahnsaid.Following the defeat, he told his players
to think about where they can improveand to be prepared for the provincialchampionships, which start on nov. 26 atlangley events Centre.However, the biggest shock of the
tournament was Johnston Heights
Secondary, who flew from last to fourthplace.the eagles werent thought to be a
contender after finishing with one of theworst regular-season records in the zone at1-7.eric Rossiter, Johnston Heights coach,
said the team had two days to prepare forthe season due to the bCtF strike, whichput them to a slow start compared to teamswhose players play club volleyball year round.He added that the eagles had an option
to play tier 2, but thought that his team wasstronger than that.We (qualified) for provincials, we (played)
a championship game in the zones,Rossitersaid.the Seaquam Seahawks also qualified for
the provincial championships finishing in thetop six.
earl Marriotts Justin Faester was namedMost Valuable Player for tournamentwith all-star nods going to eric lee (earlMarriott), evan bell-Foley (earl Marriott),Dai Chi Keber (Fraser Heights) and Perry ni(Fraser Heights).
AAAASeniorGirlS
Despite four Surrey high school seniorgirls volleyball teams finishing in the top fiveat the aaaa Senior GirlsVolleyball FraserValley Championships, none of them wonthe banner.Riverside Secondary of Port Coquitlam
defeated lord tweedsmuir 26-24, 25-11 and25-19 in Fridays (nov. 14) final to defeat thePanthers in straight sets.autumnDavidson led the Cloverdale team
with nine kills and six blocks while teammate
Claudia Corneil racked up six kills and sixdigs. both girls were named tournamentall-stars.tweedsmuir coach Sara Corneil said
even though they lost, she was proud of theamount of desire the team showed.It doesnt matter how many points were
down by, they just keep fighting for everypoint they can get, said Sara.the Panthers finished the regular season
7-0, losing only two of 23 sets.Overall for us, I think it was a great
tournament. Its been a great season, sheadded.earl Marriott, who hosted the
tournament, defeated elgin Park 25-22, 25-15 and 25-17 in the bronze-medal game.Mark Cassell, coach of the earl Marriott
Mariners, said his girls played their mostcomplete game on Friday night.they were blocking really well. they
were shutting them down right at the net,Cassell said.elgin coach Cathy MacDonald said
the team was four players short in Orcaslast match due to players having othercommitments.Sometimes when you have that extra bit
of energy from the bench, it makes a hugedifference, said MacDonald.the Mariners finished the regular season
6-1, only losing to lord tweedsmuir, whilethe Orcas went 5-2.the Panthers, Mariners and Orcas all
qualify for the provincial championshipsalong with north Surrey who finished fifthat the tournament.earl Marriotts angelica Kilbert joined

once every four years, she said. We chosethem because theyre real leaders of ourgroup.none of the girls have performed at the
international level before, but they haveperformed at bC Gymnaestrada and will doso again before flying across the atlantic.all of the girls have had to make
arrangements with their other extra-curricular activities to put aside an extra twohours to practice for the festival.Im really, really excited that I get to have
this opportunity to go and represent Canadain Finland, said Patel-thompson.Munro addedits going to be really fun
because I get to go with my three best friends.When I heard, I was really excited, but I wasmore excited about who I get to go with.the girls will be performing a floor routine
