Pancakes for presents Crowds filtered into the Hilton Thursday morning for hot pancakes, live music and Christmas cheer. The second annual pancake breakfast fundraiser for the Burnaby Christmas Bureau drew an estimated 600 to 700 people and $20,000 in donations of toys and cash. The yearly fundraiser is organized by Scotiabank, the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown and the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society, which brought 160 firefighters out to help. All of the toys collected and money raised go to the Burnaby Christmas Bureau, which provides gifts for children from low-income families and hampers for seniors during the holidays. The fundraiser was broadcast on Breakfast Television, and various musicians, including blues legend Jim Byrnes, performed for the crowds. “It’s amazing how the community got together to support the Christmas Bureau,” said Jeff Clark, vice-president of the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society. Clark said Hilton staff were up at three in the morning, preparing the room and the food. – Jennifer Moreau

TransLink spends $300,000 to retrack in city Stefania Seccia staff reporter

TransLink is coming to Burnaby to update the aging SkyTrain trains and is dedicating a significant chunk of change to re-track an area that once had tracks. And that, says city councillor Colleen Jordan, is yet another example of a shortsighted decision by TransLink. Recently, TransLink announced that it will use $37.9 million, $28.5 million of which is derived from the federal gas tax fund, to refurbish aging SkyTrain vehicles

from the Millennium and Expo lines. More than $309,000 of the approved budget cost has gone towards 80 metres of tracks at the Operation and Maintenance Facility Two in Burnaby, which had rails previously. According to Sun Fang, vice-president of maintenance for the B.C. Rapid Transit Company, the Burnaby building was owned by the province until 1999. Then from 1999 to 2004, Bombardier owned the site. It built 60 first-generation Mark II SkyTrain vehicles and installed the tracks to transport the vehicles to a

B.C. Rapid Transit Company maintenance facility. Now, TransLink is leasing out the Burnaby facility. In 2004, the Burnaby facility underwent construction to expand and accommodate the new Mark II vehicles. That’s when the rail tracks were taken out by Bombardier. After 2004, the building sold for $8.2 million and again in 2005 for $13 million, according to Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan. She said that two years ago, the 100,000square-foot building was being rented for $12 per sq. ft. TransLink spokesperson

Jiana Ling said the authority is leasing out the building for $60,000 a month. “In 1999, the site was rezoned to build the Bombardier Centre for Advanced Transit Systems,” Jordan told the Burnaby NOW. “The rezoning states that the building is to accommodate offices and the assembly of SkyTrain cars. That was part of the deal, to at least build some of the SkyTrain cars for the Millenium Line here in B.C.” In 2003, council received a rezoning request to change the property from light TransLink Page 8

Policing committee reaches out to new Canadians in Burnaby

Stefania Seccia Behind the heart of the proposed $37-million Metrotown SkyTrain facelift is a heated debate over where the diesel buses should go. As the Burnaby NOW previously reported, TransLink has applied to the city for a zoning bylaw amendment to allow for the expansion and upgrade to the Metrotown station, including the relocation of its bus exchange. TransLink has proposed two options so far. One would have buses located across the street

option. “After reviewing both proposals for potential accessibility benefits and conflicts, the committee raised serious concerns with the proposed location of buses along the north side of Central Boulevard, as it would require seniors and persons with disabilities to cross Central Boulevard to interline between buses and the SkyTrain,” states Pam Horton, chairperson of the committee, in a letter to council. The committee is made up of 19 members from all over the Lower Mainland, including Transit Page 10

from the station, along the north side of Central Boulevard; the second option involves buses going to the south side of Central Boulevard, between the station and Beresford Street. Since the application was filed in May, council has had many workshops with TransLink to refine the concepts for the station’s redevelopment. The mayor and councillors said a bus loop on Beresford Street would not meet the city’s vision for that area. However, according to the TransLink access transit users’ advisory committee, the south side location at Beresford Street is the right

Flu fears cancel kids’ concert

It’s the flu that stole Christmas. ScandiaCare has cancelled a Christmas concert at a Burnaby seniors’ home in response to Fraser Health’s requirement that anyone visiting a health facility have a flu shot. Students from Burnaby’s Montecito Elementary were scheduled to sing for the seniors at the Swedish Assisted Living Residence on Dec. 11, but that event has been cancelled, according to Linda Foster of ScandiCare, the non-profit group that fundraises for the home. Last year, the provincial government enacted a B.C.wide policy that required all health-care workers to

have flu vaccinations. This year, the provincial policy was expanded to cover visitors to health-care facilities, which includes residential care homes. People who do not have their flu shot are not allowed to enter the facilities unless they wear a mask. The policy is in effect from December to March. Flu shots are available at doctors’ offices, pharmacies and public health clinics. For more information, go to www.health.gov.bc.ca/flu or call HealthLink B.C. at 811. – By Jennifer Moreau, staff reporter

The new system is expected to save the city $14,000 a year in heating costs. As for Burnaby, Corrigan said it fits in with the city’s green goal. “The City of Burnaby is committed to sustainability,” he added. “Currently, we are developing an environmental sustainability strategy that will see hundreds of citizens further sharpen the city’s environmental focus.”

But most, including 95 kidney transplants, 53 liver transplants, 19 heart transplants and 15 lung transplants, were from deceased donors. As of November, 507 B.C. residents were on a wait-list for a transplant. According to Transplant BC, 85 per cent of B.C. residents support the concept of organ donation, yet only 19 per cent have registered their decision.

We feel very fortunate to join other transplant families to say thank you to the medical staff who are so important to organ donation and transplant.”

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HandyDart a priority, not gondola Dear Editor:

Getting around just got harder, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 27. As the son of a person who used a power wheelchair, I appreciate the importance of convenient, speedy and affordable HandyDart transport. I find it disingenuous when TransLink officials say they are doing the best they can with the available resources while a $120-million gondola up Burnaby Mountain remains a priority on their capital “investment” list. The long-term depreciation burden of such “white elephant” projects steals resources from the operation of a good HandyDart system.

D.B. Wilson, via email

Community plan not relevant now Dear Editor:

Tuesday’s public hearing included rezoning for a 134-unit condo with three to four bedrooms each off Sperling Avenue and Canada Way, and sharing road access with the busy mosque and the No. 1 Fire Hall. Residents raised concerns about traffic and access for the fire trucks, among other issues. Mayor Derek Corrigan responded by repeatedly reminding them of the 1974 39-year-old Official Community Plan for the area and said residents should have known about that.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Development problematic continued from page 6

Perhaps having a bylaw that requires all realtors who sell property in Burnaby to provide potential buyers with a copy of the plans/zoning for the property would be a proactive step in insuring that 1974 plans are well known. (I have also been told that the Brentwood development plan is more than 20 years old and they are just following through with it.) No traffic study had been done despite the fact that Canada Way is already challenging for locals and commuters. I was on staff with the Burnaby School District for 40 years, and asked if the local school was prepared to absorb 200 plus new students. Corrigan explained only that the school board is informed of new property developments. It was left to a local mother to clari-

fy that Buckingham Heights Elementary is currently at maximum capacity and that the safest walk to school takes her 40 minutes. I attended the hearing because it had been reported in the Burnaby NOW that the contentious Brentwood mall redevelopment was on the agenda. But that had been cancelled, again. With planning like this for a midsize project, what can we expect for the Brentwood monster project? And if the all-NDP school board and council don’t coordinate on elementary school needs, how could they cooperate with the provincial government on a joint project like a new hospital? Franca Zumpano, via email

Editor’s note: Burnaby council postponed the Brentwood mall rezoning project from the Nov. 26 public hearing agenda to the Dec. 10 public hearing, instead.

Heidi: Recovering but fearful continued from page 6

shouting into the phone, “Yes yes yes!” Two months later after an exhausting trip, Heidi finally came home. She’s been with me since July 25. She is fearful and has many issues, too many to list. But with a lot of love, patience, affection and understanding she is making progress. She no longer has a look of fear in her eyes, her tail is no longer tucked up to her belly, and she now snuggles with me on a regular basis. In fact, she sleeps with me. And when I have to go out, she looks for me. When I come

home, she barks and now wags her tail. She still has a very long road ahead of her but, in time, she will know what her life should have been like. And I will never give up on her. I’m telling you Heidi’s story because I think you need to hear the issues from the perspective of a puppy mill dog. I personally do not shop in any store that sells live animals and will encourage others to boycott them as well. Am I disappointed with Burnaby council’s decision to allow Pet Habitat and other pet stores to continue selling animals? No, I’m not. I’m hor-

rified. How many Heidis have to suffer before these people get the message that animals are not commodities? They are living, breathing, feeling beings with hearts and souls just as we are. But then again, what does council care? They have a warm bed to sleep in at night. I have a photo of Heidi taken within the first few days of coming home. You can see the fear and sadness in her eyes. If not for anything else, this picture shows Heidi as a poster child for what happens to a puppy mill dog. Sonja Richards is a local dog owner.

What are your Burnaby MLAs worth? Public disclosure statements show income, assets and liabilities Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Interested in how much your local MLA is worth? The latest public disclosure statements give an interesting snapshot of the financial holdings of Burnaby’s four provincial politicians. The annual reports, required by law, show sources of income, assets and liabilities for all B.C. MLAs. Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan listed his MLA salary as income, but he also has a pension from the Hospital Employees’ Union. For assets, he owns a residential property in Burnaby, of which his spouse owns a third. He also has an RRSP, life insurance and no listed liabilities. Kathy Corrigan, Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA and wife to mayor Derek

Besides her MLA salary, she listed four of her husband’s sources of income: his mayoral salary from the city, his stipends as a director with Metro Vancouver and the Municipal Finance Authority, and his stipend from TransLink’s mayors’ council. The two own a residential property in Burnaby, as well as various RRSPs. Under spousal assets, Derek was listed as the sole owner of the Derek R. Corrigan Law Corporation. Kathy had no liabilities listed. Burnaby-North MLA Richard Lee’s only source of income is his MLA salary. He also owns a home in Burnaby with his spouse, and the two have various RRSPs and an outstanding loan to a family member. The only liability the two share is their mortgage and a home equity line of credit. Burnaby’s newest politician, Jane Shin listed a few

Jordan noted that while the Evergreen Line vehicles are being built in Mexico, at least some work is being done in Canada. “I think it just shows how shortsighted (TransLink) is in planning for the future,” she added. However, Fang said TransLink is saving money because the authority is restoring older vehicles rather than spending an estimated $262 million on new ones. The refurbishment also ensures Mark I vehicles, built in 1986, will last another 15 years. “With this approval, TransLink leased the (Burnaby) facility that originally built the Mark II vehicles, and installed rail tracks to efficiently transport and refurbish the Mark I trains,” Fang said. “This will prevent increased life cycle costs, as well as deter degradation in customer service – maintaining service levels and promoting system reliability.”

Bringing Christmas to teens in prison For 30 years, Evelyn Florendo has been making Christmas dinner for teens at the Burnaby Youth Custody Centre Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Vancouver resident Evelyn Florendo is preparing for a major milestone next week. Dec. 13 marks the 30th annual Christmas dinner for teens in Burnaby’s youth prison. “I have done enough, but really, I cannot refuse them. The kids will be so lonely, they will miss me,” she told the NOW. “They become my children.” Florendo, a widower, mother of four and a devout Catholic, started organizing the dinners three decades ago after she read a newspaper article on how incarcerated youth in “I have done Burnaby were committing suienough, but real- cide and cutting themselves. Florendo contacted authorily, I cannot refuse ties saying she would like to do something for the children. them. The kids first Christmas dinner was will be so lonely, The in 1984. they will miss me. Since then, Florendo has orgaThey become my nized a small army of volunteers to prepare and serve the annual children.” meal. She also invites prominent EVELYN FLORENDO guests, such as the Archbishop volunteer of Vancouver, former politicians and sports figures, who sit at the tables with the kids. The dinner also includes guest speakers and entertainment, often put on by the incarcerated youth, and at the end the meal, Florendo gives each teen a gift bag and a hug and says, “I love you.” Some of the teens don’t have visitors for the holidays because their families are either too far away or simply disconnected. The Burnaby Youth Custody and Services Centre is located in an industrial area of south Burnaby, close to the Vancouver border and the Fraser River. The centre houses youth aged 12 to 17 from across the province. Follow Jennifer Moreau on Twitter, @JenniferMoreau

TransLink delays new Compass Card system Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Burnaby and New Westminster residents will have to wait a little longer for the Compass Card system rollout – around the same time flip flops and sunglasses will be pulled out of the closet. Despite an earlier timeline of late November for West Coast Express users and spring 2014 for a full rollout of the $194-million Compass Card system, it’s been pushed back. TransLink’s system for West Coast Express users begins in January 2014, and the full switch to the faregate system will be in summer 2014, according to Mike Madill, vice-president of enterprise initiatives. “We’ve always said we’d roll it out in stages and phases,” Madill told the Burnaby NOW in a phone interview. “We’re going to be rolling it out in January with the B.C. government bus pass, and CNIB and some TransLink oper-

ating company employees.” In total, by January 2014 about 80,000 people will be using Compass Cards, according to Madill. The decision was made after TransLink reviewed the move into its new phase. “Although it’s functional, it’s not up to standard for our customers,” he added. “We needed to spend more time and improve (elements) and launch with West Coast Express in late spring.” Madill noted that 30 per cent of Compass Card customers will already be using the system before it’s fully accessible to the general public next summer. “We know people are excited and anxious to get the cards and enjoy all the benefits,” he said. “We know it’s so much easier. We want to take it slow and easy and make sure it’s right for our customers at every step.” TransLink recently launched its askcompass.ca website for anyone who has a question about the faregates system or the Compass Card.

Transit: Bus change ignites debate continued from page 3

Burnaby and New West. It works to advise TransLink on all plans and projects the transit authority funds and how to make it more accessible for seniors and disabled people. The committee has asked council to “consider the ongoing negative impact the proposed Central Boulevard bus exchange design would have on seniors and persons with disabilities who live in Burnaby.” “These negative impacts include creating barriers to direct transfers at this major transportation hub, forcing seniors and persons with disabilities to walk longer distances to access transportation options,” she added. The committee is not alone in supporting the buses moving to Beresford Street. Graeme Silvera, vice-president of retail development for the Western Region for Ivanhoe Cambridge, says he’s been working with TransLink consistently over the last three months and would like to see the buses move to the south side location of Beresford, as well. “Ultimately, in the future we’d like a solution to also route trolley buses away from that area,” Silvera told the NOW. “Ultimately, that would be the preference for Ivanhoe Cambridge. It would be a future site of Metrotower IV one day.” Ivanhoe Cambridge is the development and management company for the

office complex connected to Metropolis at Metrotown. It bought Metrotown Centre in 2002. It also owns and operates the mall. The trolley buses will not move in the foreseeable future, Silvera noted, because it is too difficult to move the electric wiring. At the Dec. 2 meeting, Coun. Colleen Jordan brought up a letter to council from VIA Architecture, which is redesigning the Metrotown SkyTrain station. It had leaked two designs of the station that were not yet ready for the public. Alan Hart, of VIA, wrote the apologetic letter about releasing the images of the two options on its website, which have since been taken down. “We deeply regret that VIA’s enthusiasm for assisting Burnaby and TransLink to create the long-term benefit of resolving an integrated transit exchange has inadvertently triggered this counterproductive controversy,” Hart states in the letter. However, Jordan said she didn’t understand why both were shown to the TransLink access transit users’ advisory committee as an option. TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said it’s regular protocol to show its advisory group all materials, including preliminary renderings of the different options proposed for the SkyTrain redevelopment.

Centred at wellness centre: Fayme Hodal, co-owner of MetroZen Performance Wellness, found a way to repurpose old yoga mats by donating them to the Burnaby SPCA to provide comfortable flooring and bedding for the animals there.

Finding new purpose for old mats Burnaby wellness centre stretches beyond boundaries of typical yoga studio Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Burnaby SPCA bunnies are perfecting their downward dog after a new wellness centre donated a pile of yoga mats to the animal shelter. MetroZen Performance Wellness collected between 10 and 20 yoga mats during a weeklong campaign last month at the studio, according to the owners, Fayme and Kim Hodal. Fayme discovered that yoga mats aren’t recyclable in Canada after hers wore out after a year or so of doing Ashtanga yoga, she said. “It wasn’t a bad mat,” she said, adding, “It was the $30 to $40 mat we all buy our first time out.” But she found that getting rid of it wasn’t as simple as tossing it in the recycling bin and buying another. “What most yoga mats are made of, they aren’t easily recyclable,” Fayme said. She let her dog use it for a while but didn’t want it around

Metrotown area,” she explained. “We wanted to create a space that was warm and welcoming so people can come and try something they maybe haven’t tried before.” The studio offers a wide range of classes, including yoga, pilates, stretch and strength, and stretch therapy. Stretch therapy involves increasing mobility and movement range by working with the fascia in the body – fascia is a web-like layer of protein strands that hold everything in the body together, according to Fayme. Fayme began using the therapy after injuring her back when she was 17, while also using Ashtanga yoga to repair her body, she said. “I got into it because I was quite injured, and I was looking for a way to not be injured any more,” Fayme said. “It worked amazingly well.” The therapy can work for those who are injured, but it is also very effective for athletes and really, anyone who wants to improve their movement range, she added. Both Fayme and Kim say people shouldn’t be dissuaded by the idea that yoga isn’t physically taxing like intense cardio workouts. MetroZen Page 12

“Some of the yoga classes we offer are all-encompassing workouts,” Kim says. “A lot of the men that have tried these classes are quite surprised, and they’re coming back for more because they’re finding it’s quite a workout.” Kim said she has always had an interest in health and wellness and studying the body, which led to her involvement in the studio. “It just sort of evolved through years of practising things and trying things,” Kim says, adding she and Fayme started stretch therapy at the same time. While Fayme hopes to spread awareness of stretch therapy, Kim is also looking into developing wellness programs at the studio in the near future, she said.

Burnaby residents get a voice on health care Stefania Seccia staff reporter

What do you think about Burnaby’s health-care system? That’s what the Burnaby Division of Family Practice wants to know and intends to find out through its recently launched online survey, part of the A GP for Me initiative. “We are trying to get a good idea of what’s happening in our community, in terms of our patients and what their expectations are of health care in the community, and what they are receiving,” Dr. Charlene Lui, the division’s chairperson, told the Burnaby NOW. “We want to try and fill in the gaps in services, if there is one.” Lui is a Burnaby-based doctor and has lived in the city almost her whole life. She’s practised medicine for the last 18 years, and she is encouraged by the idea of the public being given the opportunity to shape local health care. “It’s a great community, and I think everything we can to do to keep the community healthy is super important,” she added. The survey is open to anyone living, working or studying in Burnaby. Lui says health-care providers will also be filling out the survey. “As family doctors we help what we believe is the need, the health needs of our patients,” she said. “We feel it’s important to know what their health needs are from their point of view. So we want to make sure we are fully informed and making the

best decisions with our time and health-care dollars.” Lui says Burnaby has an adequate number of family physicians. The Burnaby division is made up of 150 local doctors, which includes doctors at Burnaby Hospital, walkin clinics, as well as family physicians. “We have many family doctors, but some have retired in recent years,” she said. “I believe that there are many people who would like to have a family doctor but find it difficult to become regular patients with them. We see them in the emergency room and walk-in clinics more than they like.” When the survey is complete and all the answers are tallied and categorized, Lui said suggestions from the public could start being implemented by March 2014. As for what she expects to see in the results, Lui says the aspect of people needing a permanent family physician will most likely top the list. “We’re believing that we’ll find that there are people who would like to have a family physician but have been unable to get one,” she said. A GP for Me is a provincial initiative that aims to support the needs of vulnerable patients, strengthen the family physician to patient relationship and improve primary care in the community, according to the Burnaby division. Residents who complete the survey will be entered into a draw for a chance to win one of 20 $100 gift certificates to various local businesses. The deadline to fill out the survey is Dec. 20. To fill it out, visit fluidsurveys.com/s/Burnaby.

Choosing how to change transmission fluid CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: What is the best way to have transmission fluid changed? Around 2002, I had my transmission fluid changed by the recycle method at a

quick-change oil place. About a week later, the transmission went completely out at a cost of a couple of thousand dollars. After selling that car, I bought another used car and wanted to have the transmission fluid changed. From that first experience, I decided to have it changed by dropping the pan and changing the filter. I now have a 2005 Chrysler 300C that needs the transmission fluid changed. What do you recommend for having it changed – drop-

ping the pan or the backflow recycle method? – Jim RAY: We like the recycling method. That’s where a machine is hooked up to your transmission’s cooler lines, and then, as the transmission pumps out the old fluid, the machine replaces it with all brandnew fluid. TOM: Then the machine attaches to the wallet cooler lines of the customer and extracts the payment. That’s why we like it so much. RAY: Using the old-fash-

ioned method of “dropping (i.e., removing) the pan” is acceptable, but it always leaves old fluid in the torque converter. So at the end of your fluid change, your “new” transmission fluid is still, at best, only 3/4 new. TOM: There’s a myth that we’ve been hearing forever that changing the transmission fluid on an old car will hasten the demise of its transmission. People will say, “I knew a guy with an old car who changed his transmission

TOM: That’s probably what happened with you, too, Jim. So, if your transmission is already slipping, or making hard shifts, or failing to shift at all, a transmission fluid change is not going to be a long-term, miracle cure. If you’re replacing really old, burned-out fluid, it might help you for a while. But whichever method you use, you’re really unlikely to make it any worse. Good luck.

fluid, and a week later, the transmission died.” RAY: Yeah, that’s what Jim says. TOM: Oh. So it is. Well, in my opinion, any transmission that will die soon after a fluid change was almost certainly on death’s doorstep before the fluid change. RAY: I mean, when do most people with old heaps suddenly decide they need to change their transmission fluid? When the transmission starts acting up, right?

Burnaby sculptor at gallery A retrospective exhibition of a Burnaby sculptor’s work is underway at the Evergreen Cultural Centre. Working the Edge: A (Mostly) Ceramic Journey features the work of Keith Rice-Jones. The exhibition presents a 37year survey of Rice-Jones’ work in ceramics. Rice-Jones, formerly an art teacher in the Coquitlam school district, accompanies his pieces with descriptions of his artistic journey and the range of themes that have inspired his work. A press release says his work is the product of a diverse range of theories, inspirations and art movements. It notes that his work, with his characteristic geometric, organic and assembled forms, stems from his early life as a woodworker in the late 19th-century English Arts and Crafts tradition and to his enthusiasm for the early 20th-century German Bauhaus movement. “I am excited to be including a working studio component backed up with a new film by René Terlinden,” Rice-Jones said.

The sounds of winter LIVELY CITY

The school is holding The Sound of Winter concerts on Tuesday, Dec. 10 and Tuesday, Dec. 17. The first concert will feature the concert bands, orchestra and marching band.

Lively City: Book traces rise of Burnaby’s music superstar

The Bublé story

A new book traces the rise of homegrown musical star Michael Bublé. Bublé’s longtime manager Beverly Delich has released Come Fly With Me: Michael Bublé’s Rise to Stardom, a Memoir – a book written by Delich with Vancouver journalist Shelley Fralic. The two authors will be holding a book signing at Black Bond Books in New Westminster’s Royal City Centre this weekend. It’s happening Saturday, Dec. 7 at noon. The book traces the story of Delich, who, in 1993, discovered the thenunknown 18-year-old Bublé in a talent contest she was coordinating in Vancouver. She went on to become his manager and moved with him to Toronto and then L.A. as he tried to

break into the music business. “Come Fly With Me is Beverly’s vivid, behindthe-scenes story of the making of a modern-day superstar,” a press release notes. “She recounts their journey together from early days when she and Bublé struggled to get bookings, to the giddiness of hobnobbing with musical royalty, to the pivotal and sometimes heartbreaking decisions that would ultimately take Bublé to the top and found Beverly on the sidelines.” Come Fly With Me is published by Douglas & McIntyre. For more about the book signing, call Black Bond Books at 604528-6226 – or just stop by Royal City Centre at Sixth Avenue and Sixth Street. It’s free, and everyone is welcome.

The nearly 100-member choir is made up of students, staff, alumni and community members. For more, check out its website at www.sfuchoir.ca.

Two St. Thomas More Collegiate seniors earned athletic scholarships to new NCAA Division I field lacrosse programs. Long pole defender Jordan McKenzie and midfielder Connor Robinson signed their commitment letters last month to play the outdoor lacrosse game at Marquette and High Point universities, respectively, next year. The New Westminster residents both earned valuable experience down south through the Burnaby Mountain Selects travel team program, but each eventually found a different path to their final goal. McKenzie got his foot in the door following a short stint at a New York prep school, while Robinson went the more conventional scouted route. While at TrinityPawling school, McKenzie was tutored by the lacrosse coach on how to get his name out there. Emails from interested schools quickly followed. “A lot of schools wanted me to repeat another year of high school,” said McKenzie, who attended Trinity Pawling in New York state two years ago. “I said, ‘I’ll think about it, and the next thing I know (Marquette) was making me an offer.” While the Milwaukee, Wisconson school is no stranger to Div.

with Team B.C. “I finally got scouted in Grade 10 by High Point. I went on a visit during spring break,” said Robinson. “I liked the area and the residence, everything was close to the field.” High Point is a small liberal arts institution of 4,500 students located in North Carolina. The program plays in the Atlantic Sun conference, debuting

with a 3-11 record. Both McKenzie and Robinson feel the fledgling programs will give them each the best chance of making an immediate impact. “Going to a new school, I felt like I could be a part of something sooner,” said McKenzie. Robinson agreed. “I could start out with everyone equal on the team. I can start right away,” he

said. The two local products enjoyed much success together at the provincial level, including a national title at under-16 in 2012. It’s just those stick skills which are attracting more U.S. colleges north of 49. “(Scouts) just like how we have really good stick skills. They look at how good we are on ground balls and how we work in tight,” Robinson added.

Burnaby schools place top 10 at provincials St. Thomas More Collegiate defeated Sa-Hali Secondary to set up a 10th-place finish at the B.C. high school AA girls’ volleyball championships in Surrey. The Knight girls beat the Kamloops school in three sets 2510, 22-25, 15-11 to advance to the consolation final against Hatzic for ninth and 10th place at Pacific Academy last Saturday. STM lost to Hatzic, the No. 3 Fraser Valley seed, 11-25, 2521, 13-15 in the final placement match. The Knights placed fourth in pool play at the provincials following a three-way tie with independent rivals St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Patrick’s, all with one win and two losses. STM wound up in fourth place in the pool on a

points ratio tiebreak. The Burnaby independent also lost to eventual No. 8 Kalamalka 25-16, 21-25, 17-25 in a championship round crossover matchup. Pool winner Lambrick Park went on to win the gold medal final in four sets over Langley Fundamental 25-11, 20-25, 28-26, 25-23.

Carver girls eighth

Burnaby’s Carver Christian Phoenix finished in eighth place at the B.C. high school A girls’ volleyball championships at Duncan Christian last weekend. The Phoenix defeated Campbell River Christian in five sets, outlasting the Vancouver Island school 25-17, 29-27, 15-25, 23-25, 15-9 in the second round of play.

Carver finished second in its pool behind eventual provincial champion Kelowna Christian with wins over Chetwynd and host Duncan. Carver also dropped matches to runner-up winner Immaculata in straight sets and No. 6 finisher White Rock Christian. Kelowna defeated Immaculata 25-21, 26-24, 19-25, 25-12 in the provincial final.

Carver boys sixth

Carver Christian finished in sixth place at the B.C. high school A boys’ volleyball championships last week. The Phoenix boys defeated Houston Christian 25-18, 2325, 15-10 to advance against Richmond Christian in the fifth-

place matchup in Duncan. Carver lost to Richmond in straight sets. Carver’s Austin Mao was named to the provincial A boys’ first all-star team following the tournament. The Lower Mainland No. 2 seed finished second in its pool, beating both Fernie and Vernon Christian, before falling in three sets to host and eventual fourthplace finisher Duncan. In championship play, Carver met the eventual top-three finishers, losing in straight sets to Centennial Christian, and provincial finalists Abbotsford and Credo Christian schools. Credo went on the defeat Abbotsford 25-22, 25-17, 25-19 in the gold-medal final. tberridge@burnabynow.com

Justin Szeto’s sevenpoint weekend propelled the Northwest Giants back into a share of top spot in the B.C. major midget hockey league. Szeto posted a five-point evening in the Giants’ 9-3 victory over the Cariboo Cougars in the opening game of a weekend series at the Burnaby Winter Club last Saturday. The Burnaby rookie scored two third-period goals, while registering three assists, including a helper on Quinn Thompson’s eventual game-winner in the middle frame. Szeto also had a goal and an assist in the Giants’ come-from-behind 6-4 win over Cariboo in the Sunday morning rematch. Szeto’s point tally lifted him to a share of fourth place in overall scoring. On Saturday, Giants’ defenceman Dante Fabbro scored back-to-back markers between the second and third periods that put the home team up by 6-1. The following day, Fabbro, Quinn Benjafield and Keyvan Mokhtari of Burnaby all counted a goal and an assist in the third period to rally the Giants to their 16th win this season. The twin victories boosted the Giants back to a first-place tie with the Okanagan Rockets, both with identical 16-3-1 records. Placement atop the 11team league should be temporary for the Giants, who earn a bye this weekend. Colton Kerfoot moved to the top of the scoring parade with 34 points, including the game-winning goal in the comeback win over the Cougars. Thompson chipped in with three assists, including a helper on Kerfoot’s winner. Ty Shultz also had a pair of third-period helpers. The Giants are back at it the following weekend, travelling to Vancouver Island for a two-game stint against the South Island Royals.

Simon Fraser University soccer players Chris Bargholz and Magnus Kristensen were both named first team All-Americans on Wednesday Bargholz was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference player of the year and was a first team conference all-star in 2013 before being named to the Daktronics All-Region team.
