SHEILA REYNOLDS

Students at North Surrey Learn-ing Centre (NSLC) will attend school at a new location beginning this fall.

Th e alternative program, for teens in Grades 10 to 12, is currently housed in a leased building in New-ton, near 77 Avenue and 137 Street.

Th e Surrey School District was in-formed the building’s owner wasn’t renewing the lease and the program would have to move at the end of the school year.

Th ere are about 240 students at the learning centre. In Septem-ber, they will attend classes at the current site of Surrey College, behind the district head offi ce at 140 Street and 92 Avenue. (Th e college’s programs have been downsized signifi cantly and most of its programs will move next door to the new Resource Education Centre in the fall).

Th e move brings the NSLC full-cir-cle, as it was previously located at the 140 Street site, but had to move in 2008 while the school district’s new head offi ce building was under construction.

JEFF NAGEL

Mayors from two of the region’s fast-est-growing cities – Surrey and Coquitlam – pleaded for a transit referendum “yes” vote with mostly skeptical local callers in back-to-back telephone town halls last week.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner was joined Th ursday evening by White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, while Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart took calls Wednesday with Vancouver Board of Trade CEO Iain Black.

“Th is is one of those rare moments that is so clearly about the future,” Hepner said.

“If we let this fall apart – and that is a great fear of mine – it will be years and years and years in the making before we can come up with something else.”

Each mayor outlined the signifi cant local improvements that will come to their cities, including light rail lines in Surrey, a B-Line express bus route to White Rock and much

improved transit service, with buses connect-ing South Surrey to the Canada Line every fi ve minutes in rush hour.

Baldwin appealed to voters to think not of how upgrades will benefi t themselves, but their kids and grandchildren.

“It’s not for me, this is for her,” he said Th ursday.

Baldwin said much of the increased transit service under the plan would be concentrated south of the Fraser, which has historically been underserved.

“Finally, it’s going to be our turn.”

Billionaire B.C. busi-nessman Jim Pattison gave transit referen-dum “yes” forces a lift Th ursday by agreeing to chair a committee to oversee the fl ow of money if voters approve the proposed sales tax increase.

Th e move aims to bolster the assurances of the Metro Vancou-ver Mayors’ Council that money from the 0.5-per-cent Congestion Improvement Tax will go to the projects set out in the accompany-ing plan, and not be misspent by TransLink as opponents predict.

Pattison told Black Press he intends to vote yes in the referendum.

“For me, I think it’s the right thing to do,” he said of his personal position in the refer-endum. He rejected suggestions he is part of the yes campaign.

“I have not joined any campaign,” Pattison said. “I have been asked to get involved to over-see – if there is a yes vote – that the funds go to where they’re supposed to go.”

He was approached “in the last few days” by Vancouver Mayor Gre-gor Robertson, who told reporters that mayors had been planning an oversight committee for a number of months.

Pattison won’t be paid for his role – which Robertson described as independent – as chair

of the public account-ability committee for the transit and trans-portation plan.

He said he agreed to take on the role much as he did when he was tapped 30 years ago to head Expo ’86 – the mayor phoned and asked him to do it.

“I live here and the province and city have been very good to me. So I’m happy to do it if I can be helpful,” Pattison said.

Other members of the committee are to be recruited by Pattison and approved by the Mayors’ Council.

Th ey’re to work with the mayors, the prov-ince and TransLink to defi ne a process for fi -

nancial review and over-sight of the estimated $250 million a year that the sales tax hike would raise within Metro to fund a variety of transit and transportation proj-

ects over the next 10 years.

Th e committee will report directly to the public each year on whether the funds raised are

spent on the defi ned project and in the prior-ity set out in the plan.

Robertson predicted the independent ac-countability committee will provide “more con-fi dence and certainty” for voters concerned about where the money would go.

Leader of the federal Liberal party Justin Trudeau addresses the crowd gathered at Eaglequest Golf Course on Thursday for the annual Surrey Women in Business Awards. Trudeau noted female entrepreneurs and business owners make a significant contribution to Canada’s economy. EVAN SEAL

B.C. billionaire to oversee transit tax cash if ‘yes’ side wins

NICK GREENIZAN

Liberal Party of Canada Leader Justin Trudeau highlighted last week’s Surrey Women in Business Awards luncheon, speaking on the value of support-ing female entrepreneurship and leadership – both in Surrey and across the rest of the country.

Trudeau’s speech at the sold-out event – which was hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade March 5 at Eaglequest Golf Course – was well-received by some of the city’s top business women, many of whom were honoured for their achievements over the past 12 months.

Awards were handed out in four categories and judged on the nominees’ work in Surrey, business acumen, leadership, balanced lifestyle and commu-nity involvement and service.

In the Entrepreneur category, the winner was Angela Herd of Th e Family Hope Clinic.

Herd founded the clinic in 2011 and according to a news release from the board of trade, was chosen because “she has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to support people of all ages and abilities in hospitals, schools, the non-profi t sector, private practice and public service.”

She is also an active volunteer, it was noted. In the Professional category, Dr. Jane Fee of

Kwantlen Polytechnic University was named the winner.

Fee currently serves as the vice-provost/students and deputy provost at KPU, and “has been a leader in the post-secondary education sector for over three decades.”

“Her expertise is in the administration of post-secondary learner-focused programs and services and student success.”

In the Not-for-Profi t Leader award category, Coreen Windbeil from the Surrey Association for Community Living was honoured.

Windbeil is executive director of the organization, which for the past 57 years has provided commu-nity services such as residential/home-share living arrangements, social activities and day programs and employment skills and training.

“Windbiel leads by example and empowers people to feel confi dent in their abilities – she strives to break down barriers and search for new opportuni-ties,” it was noted by SBOT.

Th e award in the Corporate/Leadership category went to Hanne Madsen of GroYourBiz, a peer-to-peer advisory board for women business owners, senior managers and entrepreneurs.

With over 20 years experience in fi nancial analysis and management, Madsen assists women “in over-coming their challenges, leading them to develop innovative action plans, and (provides) them with support, training and expert advice.”

“Women are contributing more than ever to B.C.’s economy, but many still face barriers,” said Tamara Vrooman, president and CEO of Vancity, which was the awards luncheon’s presenting sponsor.

“Th ese awards, which recognize the hard work of Surrey’s business women and their contributions to the community, can help inspire women and men of all ages to make meaningful changes when it comes to supporting women in business and leadership.”

Mayors had previously pledged annual audits and a separate accounting system would ensure the money wouldn’t become part of general revenue for TransLink. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the additional step of naming a blue ribbon panel was taken because many voters are “still skeptical” and “the word audit makes everybody’s eyes glaze over.”

No TransLink Tax campaign head Jordan Bateman predicts any audits will succeed only in uncovering waste after the fact, not preventing it, and said Patti-son’s committee will have no power to force changes or penalize TransLink if funds are poorly spent.

He called it a desperate “Hail Mary pass” by mayors that won’t work.

Pattison is chairman and CEO of the Jim Pattison Group, Canada’s second-largest private company.

Bateman said he had “the utmost respect” for Pat-tison but wasn’t surprised he is voting yes.

“We expect most of the big business types to vote yes,” Bateman said. “He’s in a position where he can aff ord to pay more taxes than the average British Columbian.”

JEFF NAGEL

Simon Fraser University President Andrew Petter is urging a “yes” vote in the Metro Vancouver transit referendum for the sake of SFU’s future students.

“People need to think about what’s at stake in the plebiscite in human terms,” Petter said Wednesday. “If we have a situation – which we’re close to right now

– where kids can’t get seats in buses, it means they won’t be able to get seats in classrooms.”

Petter said there are already huge delays for students waiting for buses that fre-quently pass them by full.

Both Petter and UBC President Arvind Gupta said their universities need eff ective transportation and urged a more informed debate in the referendum.

So far the “no” side has the advantage, propelled by accusations of waste at TransLink and opposition to the proposed 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax to fund transit upgrades.

Th e Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has

been at the forefront of the no campaign and it took another jab at TransLink Wednesday by giving the transportation authority a lifetime achievement award for wasting tax dollars.

CTF B.C. Director Jordan Bateman cited TransLink’s recent move to replace its CEO but keep him on the payroll.

“Only TransLink could have found a way to shoehorn more tax money into its execu-tive suite,” he said.

Bateman argues predictions of worsening congestion are fear mongering and that a no vote will force real reform at TransLink.

“It’s easy for him from his perch to take a very negative approach to this,” Petter said.

B.C.’s new seniors’ advocate has issued her second report, and the media mostly ignored it.

When this new offi ce was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested that B.C. al-ready has 85 seniors’ advocates. Th ey’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offi ces.

Much to the chagrin of the opposition, Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government.

Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them. Th e latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key fi nding was not what she expected.

“We were surprised to learn of the lack of awareness among seniors, particular-ly low-income seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said.

Th e survey found that 60 per cent of

seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan pre-miums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived.

Other frequently overlooked pro-grams are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifi -cations called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax deferment and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program. Th ose older than 75 with income of less than $30,000 reported the lowest awareness of assistance designed specifi cally for them. But you don’t get these benefi ts unless you apply and show that your income qualifi es.

Th e survey also found that the biggest fear of low-income seniors is that they won’t be able to aff ord to stay in their homes. See home adaptation, property tax and rent subsidy programs above.

Awareness and usage of the SAFER

program was lowest in the north and highest in urban areas, perhaps not surprising since the B.C. government exists more in theory than in fact in many remote places.

So what should the government do about this? Well, it could advertise these programs. Th e government does lots of advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER program, which dates back to the 1970s.

Clark’s government did a whack of advertising in the election year, 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hardhats and blue-print-style graphics and arc welding and stuff like that.

Th en last year the government’s big ad campaign was around the teachers’ strike, and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response

rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. Th is demonstrates that the government can indeed give away money with great effi ciency, just by telling people how to get it.

Th e NDP’s version of seniors’ advoca-cy is to fi nd the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constitu-ency offi ces, and use those to ambush the government.

A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too diff erent to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart.

Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

School trustees across B.C., including those in Surrey and Delta, must be scratching their heads at the premier’s apparent lack of awareness about what’s going on in their schools and administration offi ces.

Last month, Christy Clark suggested school boards grab a step-ladder and start picking some “low-hanging fruit” – to the tune of nearly $54 million over the next two years – from district administrative costs.

Later, Education Minister Peter Fassbender clarifi ed that school districts must fi nd effi ciencies to get administrative costs down to six per cent, where they were 10 years ago, which re-quires 0.5-per-cent savings this year and one per cent the year after.

While there is a concern

that trimming adminis-trative costs will eat up valuable dollars that must go to the classroom, the province should lead the way by showing where this cost-cutting should be made.

Among the ideas being touted is converting school board meetings to a pa-perless model and moving professional development workshops outside school hours, thereby saving in substitute teaching costs.

BC School Trustees’ As-sociation president Teresa Rezansoff has been quoted as saying that Clark’s com-ments ignore the fact that school districts are already working together to save money and have been doing so for years.

In fact, Surrey has the lowest administrative costs of any of the 60 school dis-tricts in the province.

And it’s worth noting that Surrey is forced to spend more than $4 million in funding on portable class-rooms each year due to a lack of school space.

Cost-cutting measures such as bulk buying and sharing services have been tried by many school districts with more or less success, depending on the district and its circumstanc-es.

Everyone hates waste, but instead of making off -the-cuff comments, would the premier please show school boards exactly where the hidden cache of cash is located?

Re: Transportation referen-dum.

As a public health physician and the medical health offi cer for Surrey, I specialize in the health of communities. A big part of my job is working with the munici-pality and diverse groups in the community to advance public programs, policies and invest-ments that reduce risk of disease and injury – and ultimately save lives.

I’m writing today to urge Sur-rey residents to vote yes in the transportation referendum. Th is month, you will receive a ballot in the mail asking if you support a 0.5-per-cent increase in the Provincial Sales Tax in order to fund billions of dollars in trans-portation improvements.

If the yes vote wins, Surrey will

get more frequent rapid transit, modern light rail trains, more express buses and increased bus service overall, protected bike paths and a new, safer Pattul-lo Bridge. Access to frequent transit will greatly increase – with 300,000 additional people south of the Fraser able to walk fi ve minutes or less to transit that runs every 15 minutes into evening and weekends.

Th ese improvements will enable thousands of people to have practical choices in how to get around. It will allow us to integrate exercise into our busy lives, shrink our commutes, spend less time in gridlock and gain quicker access to the ser-vices, jobs, recreation opportuni-ties, friends and family that keep us all healthy.

Even if you never take transit, you’ll still benefi t: better air quality, reduced risk of traffi c injuries for all road users, includ-ing those who walk, cycle, take transit or drive, less congestion, and a healthier, more connected community.

Th is is not a vote about TransLink, but a no vote will

delay critically needed transpor-tation improvements.

I will be voting yes as someone who walks, cycles, takes transit and drives. I will be voting yes as a physician who wants a health-ier community. Th is month, you can make history with a yes win, a win for critical investments in healthier transportation choices. Please vote. Th is is an opportuni-ty we can’t aff ord to miss.

Dr. Helena SwinkelsMedical Health Officer, Surrey

Say yes to more taxes and tolls? Don’t think so.

I passed a large electronic sign in Surrey recently admonishing to “Vote Yes For a New Pattullo Bridge.”

Let me get this straight. Th ey would like me to vote for an in-crease in my taxes so I can start paying to use the Pattullo Bridge.

Yeah, sure. I’ll get right on it.

VIKKI HOPES

Michael Donald Amy, 34, of Abbotsford has been identifi ed as the victim of a homicide in Surrey on Friday, Feb. 27.

Surrey RCMP attended the scene just before 10 a.m. that day after reports were received of a deceased man in a vehicle in the 9500-block of 139 Street.

Th e initial investigation determined the circumstances were suspicious, at which point the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in.

IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said police believe this was a targeted act, although they have not released the cause of death.

Amy has been identifi ed on social media as the brother of Edward “Skeeter” Russell of Surrey, who was among seven men sentenced in March 2011 in connection to a massive drug-smuggling

scheme that traffi cked thousands of pounds of mari-juana and cocaine across the U.S.-Canada border.

Russell, then 34, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $10,000 fi ne.

Th e ring moved drugs into the U.S. in PVC pipe, hollowed-out logs, woods chips and hidden compartments in tractor trailer rigs.

A total of 54 people were charged and sentenced in separate proceedings. Th is included Devron Quast and Jody York of Abbotsford, who received jail terms of 75 months and 59 months respectively.

Th e leader of the operation, Rob Shannon of Abbotsford, was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Amy has a limited criminal record, which includes convictions for mischief, driving while prohibited and possession of a prohibited or re-stricted fi rearm with ammunition.

A North Vancouver man has been arrested and charged with child luring and invitation to sexual touching a female under 16 – and Surrey RCMP are encour-aging other potential victims to come forward.

Victor Marco Antonio Overfi eld, 27, was arrested and charged Dec. 19, 2014.

Th e off ences allegedly took place in early November last year and Surrey Mounties were contacted a month later. Overfi eld was charged Dec. 19.

Police say Overfi eld volunteered with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets in North Vancouver from 2007 to 2012 and with the Navy League Cadets in Vancouver from 2012 until his arrest late last year.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said there is no indication there are additional victims, but police have released Overfi eld’s identity out of an abundance of caution.

“If there’s even one victim out there, we need to be in contact,”

he said, adding the release of Overfi eld’s volunteer work with cadet groups was also intentional. “In that capacity, he would have been in touch with under-age persons.”

Overfi eld was released from custody in January under several conditions, including that he have no contact with his alleged victim or other young people. His next court date is scheduled for March 13 in Surrey Provincial Court.

Anyone with more information pertaining to Overfi eld is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Linda Hepner

KEVIN DIAKIW

Mayor Linda Hepner is going to Israel this week to shop for companies interested in the city’s Innovation Boulevard.

Hepner and the City of Surrey’s Manager of Economic Development Donna Jones are head-ing to Israel for a week for an international

academic event.Hepner said she was

amassing the names of several companies that might expand or relocate to Surrey.

“Th e world brain conference, called Brain Tech, is happening in Tel Aviv at that same time,” Hepner said last week. “And Canada is actually doing a presen-

tation panel.”Ryan D’Arcy,

the neuroscien-tist and brain trust behind Innovation Boulevard, will be making a presentation at the conference.

Innovation Boulevard, unveiled by the city in 2013, envisions having a high-tech hub between

Surrey Memorial Hospital and Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus.

It would largely be driven by the private sector. Hence, the impetus for Hepner’s visit to Brain Tech.

Th e high-tech medical areas Hepner will be primarily targeting

during the Israel visit will be companies that work with dementia and Alzheimer’s, she said.

She added that the Centre for Israel and Jewish Aff airs (CIJA) is footing the bill for her trip.

Taxpayers are paying the costs for Jones.

An offi cial with the CIJA confi rmed with Th e Leader it was cover-ing Hepner’s costs.

Supt. Jordan Tinney said the Cloverdale Learning Centre is also slated for relocation. Now situated in a space on 176 Street near 57 Avenue, the 150 students in that program will move to a nearby district-purchased site this September.

Th ere are fi ve learning centres in Surrey for stu-dents aged 15-19 whohaven’t found success in the mainstream high school system.

Th e Guildford centre also relocated last year, moving to 101 Avenue and 152A Street, and the City Centre Learning Centre also moved two years ago from Newton to the Discovery Elementary site at 109 Avenue and 131 Street.

Tinney said the South Surrey/White Rock Learn-ing Centre is also in need of a new, larger space.

Drivers heading from Surrey to Coquitlam via Highway 1 began using separate dedicated westbound lanes over the Port Mann Bridge on March 7.

The change also means westbound Highway 1’s Exit 44 to Coquitlam will now be relocated to before the bridge and just before the 152 Street inter-

change.Instead of merging onto the freeway

from 152 northbound, traffic from Surrey bound for Coquitlam now splits off into the dedicated lanes.

Once in a dedicated lane for Co-quitlam, drivers can’t rejoin the free-way, so project officials are reminding motorists headed to Vancouver or Burnaby to keep left.

HOV lane users that enter Highway 1 westbound at 156 Street in order to get the 25 per cent HOV toll discount aren’t able to access the first exit to Coquitlam and have to use Brunette instead.

The change brings the route close to its final westbound configuration but more work is expected in the months ahead to add similar dedicated east-bound lanes from Coquitlam to Surrey.

The bridge’s 10 lanes should all be open, with the local connection lanes in operation, by summer.

A large volume of Port Mann Bridge traffic goes directly between Surrey and Coquitlam and the dedicated local lanes mean those drivers don’t have to merge onto the freeway and then exit over the bridge. That’s expected to re-duce weaving and unsafe lane changes on the bridge.

Dedicated lanes open on the Port Mann▶ CHANGE BRINGS SEPARATE WESTBOUND LANES, RELOCATED EXIT FOR COQUITLAM

A crackdown on so-called left lane hogs is not a top priority for the B.C. Association of

Chiefs of Police, despite plans by the province to pass tougher legisla-tion to free up highway passing lanes.

Th e chiefs are more concerned about drug-impaired driving and distracted driving, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord, who chairs the association’s traffi c

sub-committee.“We’re looking at

things that can make a diff erence and save peo-ple’s lives,” Dubord said. “Th is wasn’t one of our top two priorities.”

Th e association of police chiefs is looking forward to the prom-ised new legislation, he said, but is concerned enforcement could encourage speeding.

“What’s the message you send by enforcing against someone who’s going the speed limit and not keeping up with traffi c?” Dubord asked.

“Th ose are messages we have to be very, very careful on. We don’t want to reinforce to someone that when traffi c is moving faster than the speed limit you can’t go the speed limit.”

Dubord predicted any improved tick-eting power would be of only “limited use” in Metro Van-couver because of frequent congestion and because drivers need to use the left lane to exit or turn off of some routes, such as Marine Way in Vancouver.

Dubord said it might have some application on Highways 99 and 91, but its main use would be on rural highways outside the Lower Mainland.

Just 20 per cent of south-of-Fraser residents currently live within walk-ing distance of a frequent bus route running at least every 15 minutes, but Baldwin said that would climb to 54 per cent under the plan.

Mayors also pointed to the planned 80-per-cent increase in night bus service, helping late shift workers to and from work.

In both town halls, callers com-plained about unfair bridge tolling and suggested lower tolls be charged on all bridges so that all drivers pay fairly towards transportation improvements.

“Use that money so everybody pays instead of just people south of the Fraser,” a Surrey caller urged.

Hepner said the planned 0.5-per-cent sales tax will result in “ev-erybody paying their fair share throughout the entire region” and added tourists will contribute as well.

Hepner also defended the decision to keep recently replaced TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis so his “enormous skills” could continue to be used rather than just terminating him and having to pay severance.

Other issues touched on included diffi cult bus access from South Sur-rey to the Tsawwassen ferry termi-nal and the South Surrey Park and Ride expansion built by the province that’s been empty since it opened due to the imposition of pay parking there.

Th e Wednesday night Tri-Cities telephone town hall heard even

more callers vowing to vote no, citing various complaints about local transportation.

“Th ese are things we are trying to fi x,” Stewart responded, adding that to reject new money that could actu-ally improve transit is equivalent to saying “I’m going to kick myself.”

Some said they can’t aff ord the new sales tax and will vote no because they pay too much now to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge.

Black said road pricing is proposed for the region and could reform the toll structure but said it isn’t likely to come for 10 to 15 years.

One Tri-Cities caller said she doesn’t believe the vote is as critical as yes campaigners claim.

“Th e world isn’t going to come to an end if we don’t vote this thing through in the next few months,” she said.

Stewart predicted there will be no investments in transit for a decade without a yes vote.

“Don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good,” he said of the proposed upgrades and the state of TransLink, which came under fi re from callers in both town halls.

Black, a former BC Liberal MLA, said a no vote would send a strong signal to government that the region’s residents oppose more spending and would not create any impetus to fi nd a Plan B or reform TransLink.

Baldwin warned that the Plan B being pushed by the province is higher property taxes and said the sales tax is at least more equitable than that.

RICK KUPCHUK

When Craig Anderson returned from injury Sunday evening as the starting goalie of the Ottawa Sena-tors, one of the best Cinderella stories of the Nation-al Hockey League (NHL) season was put on hold.

Surrey’s Andrew Hammond, nicknamed the Ham-

burglar, dominated the hockey headlines in the nation’s capital over the past three weeks. Thrust into the role, albeit temporarily, when first Anderson then backup Robin Lehner were sidelined with inju-ries, Hammond excelled in the Ottawa net.

The former Surrey Eagle put up amazing numbers in an eight-game run as the Sens’ starting netmind-er, winning seven games – the one loss by shootout – and posting a goals against average of 1.43 with a save percentage of .954.

Anderson got the start Sunday against the Calgary

RICK KUPCHUK

Their season came to a quick end Sunday afternoon in Port Coquitlam.

And while they could have achieved more, the Val-ley West Hawks aren’t going to call it a disappointing campaign after they were eliminated from the BC Hockey Major Midget League playoffs in straight games.

The Vancouver Chiefs swept the Hawks 7-5 and 5-0 to win their best-of-three quarterfinal series. The games were played Saturday and Sunday at the Port Coquitlam Recreation Centre.

“It’s not the ending we were looking for, but it would be a stretch to really call it a disappointment,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “The parity across our league is incredible.

“I was very proud to stand behind our players all sea-son long. I wish them all the best as they move on in their careers.”

Valley West spent much of the season challenging for a position near the top of the 13-team provincial league, but sputtered as the regu-lar season wound down. Missing players due to injury and the Canada Winter Games, the Hawks went 0-5-2 (won-lost-tied) over the last seven games of the sea-son and dropped from a battle for third place to sixth in the final standings.

They then drew the Chiefs for the first round of the playoffs, and couldn’t keep up with the league’s hottest team over the past five weeks.

“We came close to a win in game one but couldn’t close the deal,” said Leung. “The Chiefs have been a machine the last month of the regular season. They bent, but did not break and found a way to win.

“It was a tight game, much tighter than the score might suggest.”

Playing without leading scorer James Malm, who was injured while at the Canada Winter Games, the Hawks put forth their best effort against the Chiefs early in game one.

Jeffrey Stewart of Surrey gave Valley West a 1-0 lead after one period, then after the Chiefs went up 2-1 early in the second, Stewart assisted on a goal by White Rock’s Matt Barberis then scored his second of the game for a 3-2 Valley West advantage midway through the game.

The Hawks took a 4-2 lead into the third period with the fourth goal from Trevor Ayre of Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, but then the wheels fell off. Vancou-ver scored four times in the first 10 minutes of the third period, then when the Hawks pulled to within

Flames, despite Hammond’s near perfect run. The Senators blew a 4-0 third period lead, but prevailed 5-4 in a shootout, prompt-ing questions as to whether Hammond or Anderson will start tonight (Tuesday) against the Boston Bruins.

But regardless, Hammond has had an impressive run he won’t soon forget.

“You know what? If it ended, I looked back on it and I wasn’t having fun, it wouldn’t be worth it,” he told nhl.com. “It’s some-thing I’ve worked hard for and there’s a fine line between having fun and doing your job still, and I think I’m able to manage that right now.

“I’m really enjoying it though. It’s a lot of fun. The city is kind of rallying around the team right now and it’s been a blast.”

After three seasons in the BC Hockey League, including part of the 2007-08 season with the Surrey Eagles, Hammond went on to Bowling Green University where he played four years at the National Collegiate Athletic Associ-ation (NCAA) level and was

tagged with the nickname Hamburglar (a combina-tion of his name, his ability to steal games, and the McDonald’s restaurant character 1980s).

Hammond played 111 NCAA games with the Bowling Green Falcons, winning 30 and earning the team’s Most Valuable Player honours twice.

He signed with the Senators in the spring of 2013, after fin-ishing his career with the Fal-cons. He began this season with the Bingham-ton Senators of the American Hockey League last October, his second with Ottawa’s top farm team.

Hammond was called up to the NHL by the Senators on Jan. 28 as insurance when Anderson was side-lined with an injured hand. Lehner took over as the number one goalie, with Hammond tasked with serving as the backup.

It wasn’t expected Ham-mond would see much, if

any, action. His numbers in the AHL this season aren’t spectacular. A goals against average of 3.51 and a save percentage of .898 were well below the league average.

So it wasn’t a surprise the 27 year-old, with all of

35 minutes of NHL experience behind him, took his place at the end of the Sens bench while Leh-ner started the next nine games.

But in that ninth game, Lehner sus-tained a concus-sion. Hammond became number one, which started one of the NHL’s best stories this season.

After playing 21 minutes in relief of Lehner against the Carolina Hurricanes Feb. 16, Hammond was given his first-ever NHL start in Ottawa against the Montre-al Canadiens. He stopped 42 of 44 shots, was named the game’s first star, and led the Senators to a 4-2 win over their Atlantic Division rivals.

Three days later, he stopped all but one shot in a 4-1 home-ice win over the Florida Panthers, then kicked off a five-game road trip with a 25-save effort while earning his first NHL shutout with a 3-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in California.

His second shutout was a day later, when he blanked the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings 1-0, making 35 saves.

He made history, and headlines, with a 4-2 triumph in San Jose over the Sharks. He became the first goalie in Sens history to win his first five NHL starts, and was named the league’s First Star of the Week on March 1.

More importantly, the Senators climbed from 10 points behind the Boston Bruins for the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference to as few as three as of last Friday.

“Let’s not call him a flash in the pan. He’s the real deal to me,” said Senators head coach Dave Cameron. “He’s the real deal to our hockey club right now. We wouldn’t be where we are, closing in on the gap, if it wasn’t for him.”

one at 6-5 on a goal by Semiahmoo’s Logan Webber, added an empty net goal to seal the win.

Sunday morning, the Chiefs scored three times in the first period and twice more in the third for the shutout victory.

“We were really short staffed all weekend,” said Leung. “We had players returning from injury right in time for game one and had other players playing when they otherwise wouldn’t be.

“Barberis was a warrior for us. He came down with strep throat in the days leading up to our series, which took a bit of wind out of his sails.”

While the current season is now over for the Hawks, the next will begin in just a few weeks with a spring identification camp May 1-3 at Langley Twin Rinks.

“I’m going to take probably a week to de-compress,” said Leung. “We’ll have our exit interviews, then will be back to work shortly thereafter.”
