Fire blamed on electric overload Cayley Dobie staff reporter

An old electrical system is to blame for a recent fire at an apartment building on Kingsway Avenue on Tuesday afternoon. The fire, which resulted in the evacuation of 7272 Kingsway, was not suspicious but rather caused by an overloaded electrical outlet in a unit on the 12th floor of the Edmonds’ area highrise, according to Acting Capt. Jeff Wilson of the Burnaby Fire Department. “It was probably specific to an outlet that had maybe too many extension cords into power bars,” Wilson told the NOW. “Too many things drawing power on an old electrical system that might not have had the ground to activate, as it would in today’s code.” As previously reported, the threealarm fire started shortly before 2:50 p.m. on May 27.

Solidarity: Students demonstrate by Deer Lake Parkway in front of Burnaby City Hall Thursday to support teachers during their one-day walkout. Students say the partial lockout imposed on teachers this week is affecting their education.

Students march for teachers Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Burnaby teachers got a shot in the arm during a one-day walkout as a handful of concerned students held their own protest at city hall. “Be fair to our teachers,” read one sign held aloft by Margaret Anteros, a Byrne Creek Secondary Grade 11 student, who was in front of city hall demonstrating with a cluster of fellow students Thursday morning. Student organizers expected a higher

turnout since more than 100 students signed on to the planned event on Facebook this week, but in the end less than 10 braved the miserable weather. “We all felt strongly about this,” Burnaby South Grade 11 student Tanbi Bhatia told the NOW. She said the partial teacher lockout imposed by government this week is interfering with her education. “I needed help with chemistry the other day,” she said, “and I tried to go see my teacher at lunch, but it was like, ‘I can’t help you. I’m not allowed.’”

Fellow Burnaby South Grade 11 student Giselle Dipasupil said she hasn’t been able to make up missed tests because teachers are locked out at recess and lunch, and the 45 minutes they are allowed before and after school isn’t enough time. “I would have to make it up during class time, but that would mean I’m missing more things to do that I was trying to catch up on,” she said. Anteros, meanwhile, is frustrated two fundraising events were cancelled at her school this week because she said teachers

MetroLyrics made a millionaire M

ilun Tesovic isn’t flashy, rude or uptight – rather, the 28-year-old is laid back, casual and humble. He’s not your stereotypical self-made wealthy entrepreneur. Whether or not he knew it at the time, Tesovic’s knack for business stems to when he was a teenager in Burnaby coding websites. At 16, he created MetroLyrics, a site where he would post the correct lyrics to songs that were widely misheard. (“Excuse me while I kiss this guy,” anyON MY BEAT one?) Jacob Zinn “It got started as a passion project,” said Tesovic. “Eventually, the revenue model came after that.” As more people visited his site, the young coder start putting up ads, which generated considerably more revenue than the average minimum-wage retail position that most of his peers were doing. It wasn’t long before Tesovic needed a business partner, which he found in Alan Juristovski, a family friend whose daughter was close friends with Tesovic’s sister. “Over the years, as I was working on different startups and different hobbies, he was helping mentor me,” said Tesovic. “He made an offer to come on board as a partner – it was a great offer, I welcomed his experience and that’s how we got going.” Despite having a profitable website, Tesovic recognized the value of a formal education and earned his bachelor of business administration in entrepreneurship at SFU, while running MetroLyrics with Juristovski. “Education is a framework of thinking rather than a knowledge base for me,” he said. “The professors and the school did a great job in terms of giving me the tools that I needed to structure how I think about problems. “We had a lot of challenges working in the music industry, and it was through the help of my business partner and the community and the team that really made up MetroLyrics.” MetroLyrics became a company in 2008, and it was only another three years before CBS Interactive Music Group bought the site for, as Tesovic once put it, “well into eight figures.” “We had offers coming in basically every month for a few years before we sold it,” he said. “I think a year into business, we got offered $1.5 million. I was 22 or 23 at the time, still in university, and turning down such a large sum of money was very difficult. But obviously, it worked out much better.” Tesovic said they waited until the site tipped 50 million unique visitors and they had accomplished most of their vision for

Milun Tesovic sold his startup business, MetroLyrics, for millions when he was in his early 20s. Tesovic, who has a bachelor’s of business administration degree from Simon Fraser University, worked with business partner Alan Juristovski, a family friend who passed away in November 2013.

MetroLyrics. “Every business has its risks. At that time, I had a vision of it being much bigger. I also had a vision of it going down to zero. I’m glad the other one panned out.” ut even with so much money at his disposal, Tesovic isn’t the type to spend lavishly or buy things he doesn’t need. He credits that modest attitude and his entrepreneurial spirit to his upbringing, dating back to when his family emigrated from wartorn Yugoslavia in 1994. “When we originally came to Canada, we didn’t have any money, and I feel like that might have created some ambition, but also I was just very passionate about working online,” he said. “As a non-privileged teenager, it was basically the only thing you can do. I liked the fact that you could move quickly, test ideas quickly, make an impact and it took no cost to get started. “I think a lot of it just came very early on

Juristovski was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and passed away on Nov. 22, 2013. “He was still a young guy, 50 years old, a great mentor,” said Tesovic. “It took a hard impact on the team and everybody who knew him. “Even when we were going through the tough times, he was always a solid rock who would always help guide us out. He always had the right values and morals, and just taught everybody around him to be honest, hardworking and respect everybody around them.” Similar to how Juristovski brought his business knowledge and insight to

Man recovering in hospital after stabbing Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A 39-year-old man is in hospital recovering from a life-threatening stab wound. Just after 10 p.m. on Tuesday night, Burnaby RCMP received a 911 call from a woman reporting a man had been stabbed near 18th Avenue and Canada Way. “He was found in the 7700 block of 18th Avenue … suffering from a single stab wound in the chest, and it was life-threatening at the time,” Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told the NOW. The victim, believed to be a Burnaby resident, was rushed to the hospital where he remains, Buis added. “He’s been in the hospital since (Tuesday) night, and we weren’t able to speak with him (Tuesday) night because he was unconscious, so now we’re speak-

ing with him to find out what occurred,” he said. Investigators are still in the early stages of determining what happened to the victim. A witness reported seeing two men flee the scene, but police haven’t been able to confirm what led to the stabbing. “We had a couple of witnesses who saw people running away but no clear identification, and I don’t know if they, the two people, were actually involved or not,” Buis said. Buis said investigators believe the attack was a targeted incident but couldn’t confirm anything at this time. In another media report, it was suggested the victim was known to police, but Buis couldn’t verify this claim. Mounties are asking anyone who may have witnessed the attack to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

OUR VIEW

It escalates the effects of the dispute already being felt by students and their parents. It appears designed to push teachers into ramping up their action. The path to a potentially legislated settlement has been trampled down before by both sides. The last time this happened, the resulting stop-gap contract guaranteed we’d be back in this position barely a year later. The antagonistic relationship between the two groups goes back more

than a decade and seems destined to be poisoned for another 10 years. Meanwhile, students who want a memorable graduation ceremony, report cards, or one more chance to compete in athletics are left not knowing what’s going to happen in the one month left in the school year. Both sides in this dispute could use an afternoon in detention. – Guest editorial from the North Shore News

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pipeline process is illogical Dear Editor:

I find it impossible to believe that we are already past the point where people can submit themselves to be intervenors in the National Energy Board hearings regarding Kinder Morgan’s pipeline when the oil company itself continues to change its mind about where it will actually route the pipeline. How can people decide that they are personally affected until a final route has been chosen? The process used by the NEB and the federal government to try and sneak the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion through the approval process is a blatant disregard for the rights of people living along the potential route, as well as First Nations

who are supposed to be consulted on projects of this manner. This process has been tainted by Kinder Morgan’s complete unwillingness to explain itself and provide information to the citizens of Burnaby, and for that reason the entire process should be started again to protect the rights of citizens on both sides of the Burrard Inlet.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Market is secure for B.C. continued from page 6

B.C. could lose significant market opportunities if it doesn’t hurry up and develop an LNG export industry. However, I don’t think the panic button should be pushed just yet. For one thing, the deal will only meet 15 to 25 per cent of China’s future gas needs. The larger part of its overall demand for the fuel will have to be met by other world suppliers, including B.C. And by all accounts the competition will be keen. One way to secure a piece of the market is the “buyer’s club” investor approach, a practice already underway in B.C. For example, the two front-runners in LNG

development, Pacific Northwest LNG and LNG Canada, includes China-based energy companies as project partners. Part of the partnership agreement is a multi-year guarantee by the partners to buy a set percentage of the liquefied natural gas produced. But let’s not forget that the Asian market is bigger than just China. It includes the heavy gas-user nations of Japan and South Korea, as well as Malaysia, India and Brunei, all of which have energy companies that are also investment partners in one of the two B.C. projects mentioned above. As investors, they too will be customers. You can’t get a more secure market than that. Bill Brassington, Burnaby

Teachers: Take a stand for schools continued from page 6

compensation. Children need their summers. Teachers do, too. ! A teacher’s classroom: It is no exaggeration to say that this generation’s classroom is not the one that you knew as a child. Anyone with children in public education knows this. Teaching today is a complex venture with many acronyms that require time and attention: IEPs, I reports, SLPS, DPA, LSS, ELL – the list goes on of adaptations and modifications teachers make to help ensure student success. Compounding this in British Columbia is a staggering amount of hidden (and not-so-hidden) child poverty and all the socioeconomic complexities that come with it. With counsellor time cut in the schools (and some schools have gotten rid of counsellors altogether) teachers spend much more time trying to help students socially and emotionally than they did even a decade ago. Massive cutbacks in non-enrolling teachers (counsellors, librarians, resource) take supports away from the students who need them most. Teachers have twice won court rulings in the B.C. Supreme Court about our working conditions. This is also our children’s learning conditions. ! A teacher’s school: Drastic cutbacks to sup-

port staff over the last decade have affected both administrators and teachers. The off-loading of clerical work has meant more administrative work for everyone in the schools. Custodial cutbacks have also meant that schools are much dirtier than in years past. School PACs have become the place to find funding for the technology, field experiences and odds and sods that used to be covered by a well-funded public education system. Fundraisers abound at schools now as parents and their PACs try to compensate for the ever-growing holes in the system. Most disturbing, though, is the time and energy put into “marketing” public schools now. Neighbourhood schools cannot merely be good, solid places to educate children. They must have niches now, be dual track, fine arts, international student havens (and the big money that comes with them), outdoor ed, sportsoriented, or immersion specialty schools meant to attract out of catchment students at someone else’s expense. It pits one school against another in competition for the funding dollars that come with the student, one district against another to the detriment of all. Lastly, costs keep being off-loaded onto individual school districts. A zero increase budget in educa-

tion means de facto cuts to our schools. Increasing hydro bills, supply costs, off-loaded seismic upgrade costs, etc. come from existing pools of money. ! The bigger picture: The time has come, folks, to take a stand about what is happening to our public education system. It is time to get past the rhetoric, get to the realities and stop letting people who have their own children in private school destroy our public education system. If you value a healthy public education (and I think most Canadians do), it is time to start speaking up and having those potentially difficult but necessary conversations. As with most important things, we start with taking a breath and then 20 seconds of courage to forge ahead. So, please, take that breath, then take that one minute of time and sign a petition. Five minutes of time and phone a politician. Ten minutes of time and write a letter to Education Minister Peter Fassbender. Take an afternoon over the next couple of weeks, pick up a placard and protest with your child’s teacher. This is it, folks. It’s now or it’s gone. Public education in British Columbia is being dismantled quite deliberately by this government, and it is time to stop it. Elizabeth Byrne-Lo is a B.C. teacher.

Lockout: Teachers out continued from page 1

don’t want to risk supervising them. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said the terms of the lockout do not prevent teachers from volunteering their time for extra-curricular activities. He has also said the lockout “mirrors” the teachers’ stage 1 job action launched last month. But that hasn’t been Dipasupil’s experience. “It’s not the same at all,” she said. During the job action, she said, teachers still talked to students about schoolwork at lunch and before and after school. Rotating teacher strikes continue around the province next week. Burnaby teachers are scheduled to walk out again Tuesday. twitter.com/CorNaylor

was injured, but all the residents had to be evacuated from the building and weren’t able to return for nearly two days while fire investigators, assisted by the Burnaby RCMP, searched for the cause of the blaze. “We just wanted to rule out everything,” Wilson said. “There’s so many stories, so we had to take our time and reconstruct the scene and it led us to the area that we believe is the origin and to the cause of the fire.” Most residents were expected to return to their homes sometime on Thursday, Wilson added. The resident whose unit was the source of the fire, however, won’t be returning anytime soon. According to Wilson, the fire, which was contained to the one unit on the 12th floor, completely destroyed the unit and everything inside. “The tenant did not have content insurance, which is too bad, but we want to be able to have people aware that content insurance is important,” he said. The file is now closed and Burnaby Fire Department has turned it over to the B.C. Housing.

Central teachers rally in protest Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

A group of local high school teachers took to the streets in protest this week well before Burnaby was scheduled to be hit by provincewide rotating teacher strikes Thursday. Fed up by what they call a “confusing, contradictory and essentially unfair” partial lockout that started Monday, teachers at Burnaby Central Secondary gathered outside their school at recess and lunch on Monday and Tuesday to protest. “These are not picket lines, only protests in the face of another government tactic that makes it more difficult for teachers and students alike,” six-year socials teacher John Decaire said.

Under the terms of the lockout, teachers are not allowed to arrive earlier than 45 minutes before the start of the first class or leave later than 45 minutes after the last one. They are also barred from working or having school-related conversations with their students at lunch and recess, according to Decaire. Burnaby board of education vicechair Ron Burton told the NOW Tuesday that the lockout is just the teachers’ stage 1 job action turned on its head. “My understanding of the lockout is all they did was take the job action the teachers were doing and said it’s now a lockout,” Burton said. “It’s just what they were already doing.” But Decaire said that’s not accurate.

Under stage 1, he said teachers withdrew only out-of-class supervision, formal meetings with administration and written correspondence with administration. “Everything else – report cards, marking, communicating with parents, all that stuff – carried on,” he said. As far as Decaire is concerned, locking teachers out is just a way to justify the 10 per cent teacher pay cut threatened by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association last week if a deal is not reached at the bargaining table by summer. The Burnaby Central demonstrations have the endorsement of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association. The demonstrations continue this week.

MetroLyrics: Burnaby success story continued from page 3

MetroLyrics, Tesovic now advises a number of local startups based on his experience, and has made investments in companies in the Lower Mainland and internationally. He keeps some of those investments private, but divulged he has a hand in a variety of industries. “What I’m passionate about is building up a company and solving issues that people have in their everyday lives,” he said. “Whether or not it’s in food, variables, online tech, music, it doesn’t really

matter. It’s more about whether or not I can relate to the product.” Looking back, Tesovic said he never pictured a lyrics website to get as big as it did, but noted it didn’t happen overnight. But despite all the stresses that came with building the most comprehensive database of accurate song lyrics on the internet, he wouldn’t trade them for anything. “I would absolutely do it again, and I’m trying to think every single day about how I could do something like that again.”

Canadian legend comes to Burnaby stage A Canadian legend is coming to the stage at the Michael J. Fox Theatre. Ian Tyson is bringing his Songs and Stories show to the stage on Tuesday, June 24. Tyson – billed as “musician, rancher, storyteller and Canadian icon” – celebrated his 80th birthday last fall and is continuing to run his ranch in the Foothills of the Rockies and take to concert stages across the continent. A press release notes that, in the past 10 years, Tyson has released four albums, issued a two-DVD concert video and filmed an award-winning music documentary for Bravo. He also penned CHECK IT OUT an autobiography, The Long Trail: My What: Stories and Songs, by Ian Tyson Life in the West, and When: Tuesday, June has been honoured 24, 7:30 p.m. at Michael with three honorary doctorates. J. Fox Theatre, Tyson – who Burnaby has numerous Tickets: Buy through Canadian Country www.ticketmaster.ca Music Awards and or call 1-855-985-5000. membership in the Juno Awards Hall of Fame to his credit – is perhaps still best recognized for his classic Four Strong Winds, which was chosen Canada’s No. 1 song of the 20th century. He had a corrective voice procedure in 2012, and the release says his voice is stronger than ever. “Ian has been singing about love sustained, relationships broken, heroes and heroines and real truth about horses and men for six decades, and the songs that continue to be written are every bit as authentic as they ever were,” the release says. “His one-of-a-kind performance will give fans a show they won’t forget.” His Burnaby show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.ca, or call 1-855-9855000.

Remember Frankie Cena? He’s back in town LIVELY CITY

Julie MacLellan

ype the name “Frankie Cena” into the Burnaby NOW archives, and you’ll get a list of stories that dates back to 2005, when the then-14-year-old was a semifinalist at the PNE Discovery Search and took to the stage in Burnaby’s Cavalcade of Stars. Over the years, he’s continued to make headlines

for his debating skills and his performing accomplishments – not the least of which was his win as Mr. World Canada in 2012. Now the Burnaby native is coming home to celebrate his love of music and some of his favourite musical moments over the past decade, with a special concert on Thursday, June 26 at the Michael J. Fox Theatre. “It was so important for me to have my first show in Burnaby. This is where I went to school, this is where I grew and developed as a person,” Frankie says in a press release. “I’ve hosted numerous events and performed many times

at this theatre. It feels like home.” The concert will have a live band directed by Trevor Hoffman and will feature singers from around the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby’s Stephanie Standerwick along with Jerrica Santos of Surrey, Ria Jade of Maple Ridge, Gelsy Wong of Vancouver, Iris Del Castillo of Maple Ridge and Jessica Zraly of Coquitlam. “I will never give up on my dream to be Burnaby’s greatest star,” Frankie says. “To honour those who have helped me along the way, to work hard, to inspire young people and to hope-

fully change the world.” Frankie is partnering with the charity Promise for Tomorrow, which works to help raise funds for AIDS-orphaned children in China. Frankie Cena in Concert is set for 6:30 p.m. Buy tickets at www. eventbrite.ca or see www. frankiecena.ca. Tickets are $20 for kids up to age 12, $25 for youth 13 to 19 and $30 for regular admission before May 31. Tickets at the door will be $35. You can find out all the event details on Facebook – search for “Frankie Cena in Concert.”

Grants help young philanthropists Young people often have innovative solutions to fix problems they see in their communities, they just need to be heard and supported. That’s the idea behind the upcoming Young Philanthropy Council MiniGrants day on June 7, at the Vancouver Public Library. Youth aged 12 to 24 from across Metro Vancouver are invited to attend the event to pitch ideas for projects that will address one or more of the issues that came out of a Vancouver Foundation survey of 3,500 Lower Mainland young people. The Youth Vital Signs survey, released in November of 2013, found young people aged 15 to 24 living

in Burnaby and New Westminster, felt less positive than youth in other regions about three particular aspects of their community. Education, transportation and culture and identity (and belonging) in the region were given Cs, while youth in the rest of Metro Vancouver gave these aspects of their communities Bs. Burnaby’s Andy Lin, 16, is a member of the council, which will be hearing the grant pitches. He also helped design and analyze the original Vital Signs survey. Lin, who is in Grade 11 at Burnaby South Secondary, said he is curious what ideas other youth will come up with to help address the areas of concern in Burnaby.

“Youth Vital Signs reflects the opinions of 15- to 18-year-olds, which is also the bracket which is unable to vote and so this is actually a very good opportunity for them to voice their opinions,” he said. Mini-grants can be awarded for up to $500 per project and will be given to selected youth aged 12 to 24 who have paired with a non-profit organization or a school. The council will be hosting further community conversations around the survey results in Burnaby sometime this fall. To register for Mini-Grants day, go to vfypc.ca. – Jennifer Thuncher

2014 Chevy Impala new from the ground up wheels. The cabin has received an equally dramatic makeover. Material quality is very high and the layout is logical yet pleasing to the eye.

David Chao

contributing writer

hevrolet seeks to inject some excitement back into the flagship with the release of its 10th generation Impala. The 2014 Impala is new from the ground up with fresh styling, more interior room and advanced technologies. Safety was also a top priority. The Impala comes with 10 standard airbags along with a range of available safety features, including collision mitigation braking, forward collision alert and lane departure warning.

Performance

The new Impala is available with three engines, including two four-cylinders and a V6. The entry level Impala comes with a 195 hp, 2.5litre ECOTEC four-cylinder engine. Direct injection and variable valve timing are used to increase efficiency. Later this year, there will be a 2.4-litre ECOTEC four with eAssist available. This is a mild hybrid system which provides electrical assistance in certain conditions to save fuel – it will be rated at 182 hp. Then there is the top of the range 3.6-litre V6 producing 305 hp and 264 ft-lbs of torque, which is the highest rated naturally aspirated V6 in the segment. Upgrading to the V6 may be a wise choice not only because it is a smoother powertrain, but it’s just a better matched engine for such a large car. No matter which engine you choose, it will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. When merging with highway

Design

The exterior styling of the Impala hasn’t started this many conversations since the ’60s. The bold new design clearly has a big emphasis on aerodynamics and flow. It takes some styling cues from the new Camaro – for example, the influences can be seen in the sharp new grille, the aggressive hood and the creases over the rear wheels. It retains the unique Impala emblem on the C-pillars. Top of the line models get HID headlights with LED daytime running lights. Also, 20-inch alloys are an option to replace the standard 18-inch steel

traffic, it shifts quickly and smoothly; transmission is definitely a strong suit of GM products. On the road, the lighter and stronger structure, and reworked suspension delivers a more comfortable and quiet ride than in the previous generation. Not only is the new Impala more composed, but it also shows a surprising amount of agility for a car of this size. The Impala has a good stability control system and strong anti-lock brakes. They combine to inspire confidence in any driving condition, especially the brakes which offer authoritative stops with firm pedal feel. If there is one complaint, it would be the steering feedback. While the electric stability control system does a good job keeping you safe, the overall feel of the steering is somewhat numb.

Environment

dials and a four-inch changeable screen in the centre. Heated and ventilated seats are available upfront, as well as a heated steering wheel. Opting for the MyLink infotainment system with navigation and rear-view camera brings in one of the easiest-to-use systems on the market. Also, the eightinch colour touchscreen display can slide up, revealing two additional USB ports and extra hidden storage. While the touch panel makes commanding all of the infotainment features easy, the climate control has to be left separate for quick access. Light blue ambient lighting also helps to provide a calm atmosphere. Rear-seat passengers are provided with a substantial amount of leg and headroom. Despite the central tunnel, the Impala can realistically accom-

modate three adult passengers in the back.

Features

Starting prices range from $28,445 up to $39,645. Standard equipment includes heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry, air conditioning, power windows and locks, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering column, and steering wheel mounted controls for Bluetooth, cruise control and radio. Additional features, as options or on higher trims, include push-button start, remote car starter, dual-zone climate control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, leather seats and steering wheel, chrome exterior details and a sunroof. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the 2.5-litre are 9.9 city, 6.3 highway, for 8.3 combined. The light hybrid sees 8.7 city, 5.8

highway, for 7.4 combined. The V6 returns 11.1 city, 6.9 highway, for 9.2 combined.

Thumbs Up

The new Impala is large and offers a lot of interior space, and at the same time, the excellent new chassis makes it feel like a smaller car.

Thumbs Down

With so many large sedans being redesigned lately, this segment is ultracompetitive. The Impala will need to prove it’s more than just a “rental” car. The steering feel is disconnected and numb.

The Bottom Line

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala is a sharp-looking, high-quality car worthy of the iconic name if people would give it a chance over the popular Japanese rivals.

The interior dimensions in the new Impala have grown; this means there is plenty of room for five passengers, plus 18.8 cu. ft. of luggage space in the trunk. From the driver seat, all pertinent information is displayed through two modern-looking analog

STM spreading its gridiron wings Tom Berridge

sports editor

St. Thomas More football is going to stretch its influence over nearly half of North America next season. Six graduating Knight players earned athletic scholarships to Canadian universities and institutions south of the border this year, including B.C. high school provincial allstar running back Malcolm Lee, who committed to the University of Nevada at Reno for the coming season. “It’s been a dream of mine to play Division I football as high as I can,” said Lee, a 6-2 wide receiver who was forced into the role of pivot when starting quarterback Chase Malcolm was slowed with injuries. Malcolm is headed to Laurier University in Ontario under a new, young coaching staff. Also headed east are B.C. team linebacker Noah Usherwood and all-Eastern conference defensive lineman Kevin Marshall to Western Ontario, and defensive back Drew Belgrave to the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Jalen Jana, who had to sit out the entire school year with injuries associated with a torn ACL last season, will redshirt his first season at Cheyney University, a Div. II college in Pennsylvania. “It says we are pretty fortunate to have athletes who are so committed. I’m happy to see them get scholarships and get their education paid for,” said

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Head of the class: From left: St. Thomas More Knight seniors Jalen Jana, Drew Belgrave, Chase Malcolm, Noah Usherwood, Malcolm Lee and Kevin Marshall all earned football scholarships this season. STM head coach Bernie Kully. “They’ll have to earn their spots, coming up the ladder and learning those priorties, but it’s good to see.” While Usherwood and Lee were both provincial team picks, Belgrave and Marshall were all-conference all-stars on defence. Jana was named a provincial defensive team allstar in 2012. In the same season, Malcolm put up the third-best passing numbers in the AAA varsity league, including a second-best 74.8 per cent completion percentage. “I had a great time at the school,” said Malcolm.

“A lot of great players have come from STM. It’s a great way to get your name out there.” The others would agree, but decisions were made on more than just football. “(Western Ontario) was the right school for me. It has a great business program, and I’ll be pursuing a business program,” said Marshall. Usherwood followed his teammate to London, Ont. for the good balance of academics and sport at Western. “The coaches liked my aggressiveness and attitude, too,” he said. Belgrave is also plan-

ning a future in business and found Edmonton the place to play and study. But what sold him was the coaching staff. “It’s a new program. I’ll be coming in with a big group of guys,” he said, while adding “academically, it’s a good school.” Malcolm was also influenced by Laurier’s incoming head coach Michael Faulds, a former Ontario university player of the year and holder of the all-time passing record in Canadian college football. “I hope … I’ll learn a lot from him. Laurier was looking for an option quarterback with speed,”

said Malcolm. Jana also has high hopes at Cheyney, the first university for African Americans in the country with a rich tradition of excellence. “I can see myself starting after my freshman year, so that’s pretty exciting for me,” said Jana. But all six of the Knights will likely never forget where their beginnings took root. “It’s a special place to play,” said Jana of STM. Lee agreed, adding to be able to contribute to the great Knight tradition was “cool.” STM Page 32

Clan coach named to HOF

Simon Fraser University women’s softball head coach Mike Renney was inducted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame on May 22. Renney has been the Clan’s head coach almost two decades since taking over from Wayne King in 1995. During his tenure, Renney coached the Clan women to 14 top-10 appearances at the NAIA championships, including four NAIA national titles. He has produced countless players to Canadian national teams, including 11 Olympians. Renney currently coaches the Clan in the NCAA Division II Great Northwest conference, where he led SFU to second place in 2012. Renney was also coach of Team Canada from 1996 to 2004 that included trips to three Olympic Games and three world championships. To date, 20 current or fomer SFU players have represented Canada at the Pan American Games, Olympic Games or world championships. He is also the first softball coach in Canada to receive full Level 5 certification in the National Coaching Certification Program. – Tom Berridge

AA Chargers win first rugby banner on tiebreaker Tom Berridge sports editor

Scoring first had its reward for the Cariboo Hill Chargers high school rugby team. The Burnaby AA school tied AAA Moscrop 19-19 but won the Burnaby/New Westminster district senior rugby title on a first-score tiebreak following a scoreless 15 minutes of overtime at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East last week. Cariboo captain and standoff half

Manraj Sidhu scored the game’s first two tries, which ultimately stood up as the tiebreaking game-winners. “It means a lot said,” Sidhu after the game. “We’re a first-year team. We never failed to believe in each other, and that we could do it as a team. “This is a big accomplishment frou our school.” Leading 12-0, Moscrop got back into it just before half time with a converted try from Robert Partaker. Andrew Jones added another five-

pointer later to draw Moscrop even, but Kurtis Dunbar countered for Cariboo with a score between uprights for what looked at the time like the game-deciding points. But Abdi Abdinasir had other thoughts, picking up a turnover and outrunning the Charger defence 40 metres to send the game into extra time. In OT, Cariboo missed a penalty kick at goal, but then had to knuckle down on defence to prevent a concerted push by Moscrop inside the Chargers’ 20-metre line that came close to scoring late in the

second OT. “Just seeing (Cariboo) able to dig deep and keep coming back was really satisfying,” said Cariboo Hill practicum student coach Moreno Stefanon. The win was some solace for the Chargers, which earlier lost the Lower Mainland AA Tier 2 championship final to Seycove by a narrow 31-29 score. “That was a heartbreaker,” said Sidhu. “We were leading 12-0 … but we missed one kick.” Twitter @ThomasBerridge

Golfers place second at AA’s

BURNABY SPORTS BRIEFS At the net:

Queensborough, in blue, matched up against Burnaby Mountain on Day 2 of the BurWest district bantam boys’ volleyball championships at Burnaby South last week.

St. Thomas More placed second at the B.C. high school AA golf championships on Wednesday. The former four-time provincial AA champ was nipped for top spot by 16 strokes by defending champion Kwalikum Secondary. Brendan Lancaster led the Knights, tying for third place overall in the individual standings, finishing with a one-over-par 145 at the Pheasant Glen Golf Resort in Qualicum Beach. Lancaster opened the two-day event with a oneunder-71. Mary Parsons was a pleasant surprise, finishing in 10th place with a fiveover 152, firing rounds of 75 and 77. Rene Cheng had rounds of 82 and 80. Nathan Punzo had difficulties on the second day, shooting a 97 after an opening-round 87. Shawnigan Lake’s Tristan Mandur led the field from Day 1, shooting a pair of three-under 69s.

Burnaby gymnast tops B.C. team

Burnaby gymnast Briannah Tsang placed 12th in the all-around at the Canadian senior women’s artistic gymnastics championships in Ottawa. Tsang placed sixth overall in both the vault and uneven bars, finishing as the top B.C. senior with a 51.250 overall score. National team member Ellie Black of Nova Scotia won the all-around with a 56.575 total score.

STM: ‘Football helped’ continued from page 32

Marshall described his time at STM as the best experience in his life. “It was like playing with brothers,” he said. But Usherwood, for all his outward bravado, was perhaps the most humble in his praise. “Coming (to STM) as a nobody and then being able to earn a scholarship, football has really helped me in that way,” he said.
