RCMP arrest protesters on mountain ‘I anticipate this is going to continue, and this is going to be a long, long struggle,’ – Alan Dutton Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

It was a tense Thursday morning on Burnaby Mountain, as RCMP arrested at least a dozen anti-pipeline protesters. Police cordoned off sections of Centennial Way, where protesters set up a barricaded camp, and anyone caught inside the yellow tape was subject to arrest. The people were arrested for defying a B.C. Supreme Court injunction banning the protesters from interfering with Kinder Morgan’s survey work for a new pipeline route. Some have been released already. “It’s a very emotional event, and I respect the people who have decided to commit civil disobedience,” said Alan Dutton from Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion. Dutton was also one of the five protesters named in the court injunction. “We’ve advised people to respect the law and allow the court process to continue to see what the resolution will be.” Dutton said it will be difficult for police to clear the area as more people convene on the mountain. “There are a lot of people coming into this area, and the longer it takes, the more people are going to be here and the more peaceful it will become because there are more people to witness what’s going on,” Dutton said. “I anticipate this is going to continue, and this is going to be a long, long struggle.” Burnaby resident Ruth Walmsley slept in the park overnight and was on the scene when a large number of police officers showed up and read the injunction to those in the camp area. “A number of protesters locked arms

Civil disobedience: RCMP carry off a protester from Burnaby Mountain on Thursday morning. Police arrested at least 14 people for violating a B.C. Supreme Court injunction, which forbids the protesters from interfering with Kinder Morgan’s survey work for a new pipeline route. and refused to get off of the premises,” she told the NOW. Police were also dealing with protesters at a clearing in the woods at another spot where Kinder Morgan needs to drill for soil samples. Vancouver resident Adam Bognar was one of three people who camped overnight in the clearing, which is about a five-minute hike from Centennial Way “There have been no arrests made yet (in the woods),” he told the NOW. Police arrived as Bognar and two oth-

ers were waking up, still in their sleeping bags. “They came in, in a line, and set up a perimeter and made us move outside of it to not be arrested,” Bognar said. “They said this is in the injunction perimeter, … since then it’s grown three times that size, and it’s just been on (a) whim.” At press time, Bognar was outside the cordoned-off area, documenting the scene. He also reported that one man chained his neck to a tree, about 25 feet from the ground, and two police officers

were up the tree with bolt cutters trying to remove him. The RCMP’s aerial extraction team removed the man and arrested him. One of the more intense and emotional moments was when Clarrisa Antone from the Squamish Indian Band arrived on the scene singing and drumming. As the crowd began to sing along with her, she marched right under the yellow police tape into the protesters’ camp as RCMP

‘For now, I’ve got to let it go’ Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The film industry has changed a lot – for better and for worse – in the last four decades. Just ask Paul Pincott. The longtime owner of Can Am Importique is parting with hundreds of film props that he’s accumulated over 38 years. Everything from a Wheel of Fortune wheel to a statue of Abraham Lincoln to a massive portrait of Kim Jong-il will be going up for auction over the course of two days. “I’m pretty heartbroken,” said Pincott. “I don’t want to close, but unfortunately, I lost a tenant a little over two years ago.” Pincott noted he’s been paying for the entirety of his large North Burnaby warehouse, despite a lengthy search for someone with whom to share the building. He said a

few prospective tenants fell through, and he just can’t afford to keep the prop rental business going. “It’s just killing me, the rent – it’s so high here, and the film industry is just going up and down like a yo-yo,” he said. “It just got to the point where it was an economic hardship and necessity to shut it down.” The warehouse is packed with all kinds of items: totem poles, treasure chests, bar stools, outdated televisions and oversized Christmas ornaments fit for Paul Bunyan. However, some items aren’t for sale, as they’ve been committed to some productions. Able Auctions will be on site this Thursday and Friday to sell off as many items as possible. Those who can’t make it to the live auction can register at the auction house’s website and bid online. Out of everything he’s collected over his

career, Pincott said the item he’ll miss the most is the coffin used by Ashley Judd in the 1999 thriller Double Jeopardy. “I’ve always said over the years, if I ever shut this place down, I’m going down with Ashley Judd in that coffin,” he said with a chuckle. “But it’s going in the auction – with or without me.” Nonetheless, Pincott said it will be good for him to take some time off and recharge his batteries. But don’t think he’s out of the industry for good – in the new year, he’s going to start seriously looking for an investor to stay in film. “I’m going to absolutely miss the business – it’s all I know and it’s all I’ve done,” he said. “I’m really hoping I can find someone with similar interests and start something up in the near future. “But for now, I’ve got to let it go.”

looked on. By press time Thursday, only Antone and another indigenous woman were allowed to stay inside the camp, where a “sacred” fire is burning. There’s been a call out for more protesters to convene on the mountain, and many more arrived Thursday morning, as word spread of the arrests. People from the Musqueam, TsleilWaututh and Squamish First Nations were reportedly on their way at press time, although this is not confirmed. Kinder Morgan had no comments or statement for media Thursday morning and referred the NOW to the RCMP. There’s still no word as to when the company will resume work, although the plan is for police to secure the area so company crews can finish the survey Larry Wright/burnaby now safely. ‘Warrior up’: Clarissa Antone from the Squamish Indian Band arrived on A spokesperson for the protesters said 12 the scene, singing and drumming, and walked right into the cordoned-off were arrested and six were already released. area while police looked on.

because some protesters are being released if they agree to appear in court and not return to the protest site. Seven have been released. “We will secure the site,” he told the NOW. As for the remaining women inside the camp, Buis said RCMP were working on that. “I’m not sure how that’s going to play out. All the people have to move eventually, and we are negotiating that now with them,” he said, adding the discussion centres around possibly moving the fire. It’s still not clear who will remove the protesters’ barricaded camp from the mountain. “That’s something being discussed,” said Ali Hounsell, a spokesperson for the Trans Mountain expansion project. Hounsell said there was no further information to report. Kinder Morgan is waiting for police to make the area safe for the company’s survey crews. “Our crews are on standby ready to work,” she added. For updates on this story, go to www. burnabynow.com

The event featured entertainers Jim Byrnes and AJ Woodworth. The toys and cash go towards the Burnaby Christmas Bureau, which makes sure local, low-income families have enough food and gifts for the holidays. Burnaby firefighters, Scotiabank and a number of different sponsors started the pancake breakfast three years ago, D’Souza said. Last year’s event drew hundreds of attendees and pulled in $5,000 and a truckload of toys. But that’s not the only Christmas Bureau event on Nov. 25. Later that evening, at the same location, Burnaby Community Services is hosting Fill A Stocking, Fulfill A Wish, a fundraiser with food, auction items and entertainment, from 6 to 10 p.m. “It’s really just an opportunity for the community to come together in a different way,” D’Souza said. “It’s a way to really start off the holiday season.” The Hilton Vancouver Metrotown is at 6083 McKay Ave.

OUR VIEW

Burnaby residents, and Canadians in general, are a polite group. Civil disobedience is not the first thing they plan when faced with government actions they don’t agree with. First they try the law, then they try online petitions, then they get their pup tents and hold sing-along protests with big signs. It is certainly only as a last resort that folks chain themselves to trees and get thrown behind bars. So the government and the NEB should take a much-needed sober second look at this situation. This is not a protest that is happen-

ing in the 1960s deep in the woods. This is a protest that is driven by legitimate concerns about oil tanker traffic in a narrow inlet. It is a protest with legitimate concerns about what would happen when (not if) an earthquake hits. It is a protest framed by legitimate concerns about land rights. It is a protest supported by many “average” citizens who were very reluctant to step out of their comfort zones and risk jail. It is a protest that is founded on principles that cannot be ignored. The law may indeed be an arse, but we still believe in basic principles of justice.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Flash of intelligence’ for trustees Dear Editor:

Re: Burnaby School District eyes new markets for international program, Burnaby NOW online. This is surely a new speed record. Burnaby Citizens’ Association trustees take up the Burnaby First Coalitions’s idea to raise revenue to fill district treasurer Greg Frank’s forecast $4.5-million deficit and avoid staff cuts next spring. And the election was just four days ago! I thank the BCA for unambiguously endorsing this idea. It is a rare flash of intelligence amid outrageous (now debunked) rumours about BFC campaign tactics and misrepresentation of BFC candidate views. As long as the BCA lack ideas of their own, they are welcome to advance ours. However, in their

rush to embrace proper economics, they appear to forget who just returned them to office: taxpaying parents. BCA trustees also ought to take up this part of the BFC plan and talk to all local parents before rushing abroad. The district is a public institution. It is supposed to serve all taxpayers – including parents of those 7,000 local children not now enrolled in a Burnaby school. These families deserve more than lip-service; they pay school taxes too. At a per-capita allotment of $7,000 per child, there are potentially $49 million annual budget dollars here (7,000 children X $7,000 per child.) Talking to these parents about changes in policy, procedure and programming that might attract their children to a district school does not even require paying travel expenses.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why not look at Burnaby? continued from page 6

Why then is the priority to travel abroad to seek students? Is the travel itself the reason? Or has this more to do with BCA unwillingness to abandon their increasingly bankrupt ideology about what constitutes “public” education in a globalized and competitive marketplace? I have just spent six months talking to parents at doorsteps, forums and all-candidate meetings. The consensus view is that trustees should focus on determining what services local parents want from their tax dollars. If current trustees look first to serving all 30,000 resident Burnaby school children, they can fill partially empty buildings, improve operating economics, and essentially head off staffing cuts for the foreseeable future. And that should happen before seeking revenue outside Canada. The top reasons I hear parents telling me that they use to choose schools include: dedicated teachers, strong academic quality, student encouragement and safety. They also look to schools that enable their sons and daughters to become fully engaged in academics and extracurricular activities, helping them to discover their abilities and excel in post-secondary career choices. If the BCA trustees are prepared to acknowledge the truth about the BFC plan for targeting revenue growth – including reaching out for additional local public school tax dollars, then perhaps they are also prepared to talk to Burnaby parents whose children are not enrolled in public schools. First focus on serving all the parents who cover your paycheques and elect you to office. Then, if there is still room left to fill in a Burnaby public school, go abroad looking for more students. Heather Leung, Burnaby

B.C. needs its resources

Dear Editor:

I always knew the Port of Vancouver was important to the Canadian and British Columbian economies, but I was astounded to read that it enables $184 billion in trade in goods and natural resources annually. Back in the days of the gold rush, when it all began, who could have imagined that astounding figure. A century later, our provincial economy still relies heavily on natural resources and in particular the mining industry. The mining industry is one of the foundations of our economy and a valuable contributor to the bottom line of the provincial government and even many municipality bottom lines. Unfortunately, there are some who want to kick the foundations of our economy out from underneath us. They want to shut down our port and shut down our mines, which would shut down our province and severely hobble our economy. These misguided souls seem to the think that an economy can run on thin air and green vibrations alone. Well, it can’t. An economy needs something real to hang its hat on. And in British Columbia it is our natural resources like gold, copper and even coal that pay the bills. These misguided people are living in a dream world: Without the tangible goods and resources produced through the hard work and enterprise of others they would not be living the comfortable, relatively easy lives they live. All British Columbians depend on the resources of our province, urban and rural alike, and making the most of those resources requires that we have a port through which these valuable products can be shipped to global markets. So, let this be a reality check and a wakeup call to all those who feel we can risk shutting down our resource industries. We can’t. Erik Nummela, Burnaby

Seniors: Not all rich and healthy continued from page 6

from it, unlike people who receive their income from employment and can allow their wealth to compound. The issue of the low income and poverty of some seniors is only one part of the picture. Seniors also make significant contributions to our communities and our health-care system. We know that the greatest amount of volunteering is done by seniors. More significantly, perhaps, is the millions of hours of care that is provided every year in this country by seniors to their spouses and, in some cases, their parents. If seniors didn’t step up each and every day to the needs of their community, the cost to all levels of government would be staggering. The contribution of unpaid caregivers

over 65 alone is an estimated $4-billion savings to the Canadian health-care system. In addition to their contributions of unpaid labour, seniors also contribute to the costs of their care. In B.C., seniors pay: 80 per cent of their income toward the cost of residential care to a maximum of $3,092.66; 70 per cent of their income toward the cost of government-subsidized assisted living with a maximum that varies according to local market conditions; and they copay the costs of their home support on a sliding scale based on income. While it may be fair to question whether a minority of higher-income seniors should benefit from the caps, it is also very evident that the majority of seniors are surrendering significant amounts of

their income to subsidize their care needs. The seniors of today, like the seniors of tomorrow, are unique individuals. Some have money; some do not. Some have good health; some do not. Some contribute to their community; others less so. Some need our help; others do not. What is most important is that we value the uniqueness of seniors just as we do those who are not yet 65 and in so doing, ensure we leave no one behind and create a society for all. Isobel Mackenzie was appointed as Seniors Advocate for B.C. in March. Prior to this role, she spent two decades working with seniors in home care, licensed dementia care, assisted living and volunteer and community services.

School district reaches out to Russia, Indonesia Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

As Canada celebrates International Education Week Nov. 17 to 21, the Burnaby school district is looking to expand its growing international program into new markets. The district runs the third largest program in the province, with 1,049 students expected to generate more than $14 million this year – an increase of nearly $6 million since five years ago. The budget for the program is $8.7 million. But international education is a competitive business worldwide. “We’ve got a really strong program and we’re always looking at ways we can strengthen it,” assistant superintendent Heather Hart told the NOW. Toward that end, the district struck an ad hoc international education committee this fall to look into different possibilities for the program, both at home and abroad. Thirty-one countries are represented in Burnaby’s international student population, with most (about 70 per cent) coming from Asia, notably China, Korea and Japan. Europe and Latin American each account for about 15 per cent, and the Middle East for another small handful. To prevent recruiters from other programs around the world from swooping into their markets, local international education officials like to keep more specific data about numbers and countries close to their vests. This year, however, they have said they

will ramp up their efforts in two countries: Indonesia and Russia, according to a report to the school board last month. “Each year we have Indonesian students and Russian students enrolling, and they’ve done really well in our program, so, of course, we would like to expand the number of students studying with us from those countries,” international education manager Angela Ferraro explained. The plans for Russia have yet to be finalized, but for the first time ever, School District No. 41 will send a representative to Indonesia this year to participate in an education event hosted by the Canadian embassy. The district sends recruiters on similar trips around the world about six to 10 times a year, according to Hart. Word of mouth is another way the district draws students. “We have a really good track record,” Hart said. “Students go back to their homeland; they speak to their family and friends, and we get repeat business and new business from that.” The district’s comprehensive international program website also attracts a lot of students. But rather than focusing on numbers alone, Hart said the district works to draw from many different countries to create a global experience for all students in the district. “It adds to that piece of diversity,” Hart said. “We learn from them as much as they learn from us.” For more information about the district’s international program, visit www.study inburnaby.ca.

Precision analysis:

Fortius Sport & Health biomechanist Christopher MacLean analyzes a 3D motion-capture image of NOW health reporter Cornelia Naylor’s lower extremities at the Fortius biomechanics lab. The lab offers walking, running and jumping analyses to help athletes and non-athletes alike optimize performance and prevent injury.

Cornelia Naylor/ burnaby now

Using science for elites and average folks Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Like many of the folks at Fortius Sport & Health, biomechanist Christopher MacLean’s passion for exercise science was sparked by a sports injury. “I was a hockey player and I got hurt,” MacLean told the NOW. The quad contusion only took the young MacLean out of the Acadia University lineup for three months, but the interest in sports science has stuck. The affable Nova Scotia native, known around Fortius as Mack, was already studying sciences when he got hurt, and after the injury he coupled that with exer-

cise science. He earned his masters degree in human kinetics working with UBC sports medicine legend Dr. Jack Taunton, and followed up with a PhD in biomechanics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He came to Fortius after 23 years in the prescription orthotics industry and time as director of biomechanics at Paris Orthotics in Vancouver. He had been approached in 2007 by co-founders Rick Celebrini and then-president of SportsMedBC Lynda Cannell about designing the new Fortius lab. The centre’s vision appealed to him at once. “The dream has always been to try to

bridge what we typically do in university – research, lab research, science – with the clinical aspect and the provision of sport medicine,” he said. “We wanted to integrate the two because so often you’re tucked away in a lab at university, and the work product that comes out of that lab may be published, but it may not actually be entered into practice until 10 or 20 years later. The dream here was to bring it together.” The dream has also been to make it all accessible to the average Joe, something the centre’s philanthropic model has made possible. The Fortius Foundation was created in 2004 with a $23 million lead donation from

founder and chair Scott Cousens. That, along with other donations and revenues from tenants in the Fortius building, has allowed the centre to build stateof-the-art facilities, like the lab, and make them available to the general public. So, on any given day, MacLean might be working with the top marathoners and ultramarathoners in Canada or with a 13year-old soccer goaltender. For Mack, that’s as it should be. “It’s the same math; it’s the same methods,” he said. “That’s the cool part for me because I like taking what we use in sport and taking those attributes and applying them to all.” twitter.com/CorNaylor

Reporter put on the treadmill, analyzed ON MY BEAT

Cornelia Naylor

For 14 weeks, NOW health reporter Cornelia Naylor has been assigned to undertake a “Fortius challenge,” setting fitness and performance goals and experiencing first-hand the many ways Burnaby’s

Fortius Sport & Health can help. As a rehab project, the team will zero in on a lingering shoulder injury, but Naylor will also get a chance to sample everything else Fortius has to offer, from massage therapy to diet advice and from vision testing to a scientific analysis of her running gait. Here’s her fourth report: ’m back at the Fortius Sport & Health lab to find out whether my running style might be behind a certain cement-mixer feeling in my hips.

Lab and applied biomechanics director Christopher MacLean greets me with an eight-page report and large, flatscreen TV projecting an image of me running on a treadmill in tight, high-waisted shorts. The image and the data in the report were captured a week before. I had come into the lab, and MacLean and biomechanist Jessica Maurer had stuck reflectors on different parts of my feet, legs, knees and hips.

The lab-issued shorts (so tight, so high-waisted) had ensured the markers wouldn’t move relative to the bone underneath. I had then run on a treadmill as four video and 10 motioncapture cameras recorded my movements and a force plate built into the treadmill measured my footfalls. “We kind of look at the lower extremity like it’s sandwiched between the ground and your centre of mass, which is in your

core,” MacLean says during our follow-up interview. Every time our feet hit the ground, he explains, forces travel upward from the ground and downward from our core. At different phases of our running gait, those forces can total two-and-a-half times our body weight, and our bodies have to find ways to manage them by rotating in different ways and absorbing the force. MacLean’s job is to help Fortius Page 14

Beware of the Disneyfied ideal of love HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

isney has raised generations of women with positive identification with princesses and their stories. Virtually every young woman I know has a favourite Disney princess. Some may still dream of the magic of true love’s kiss. Unrealistic expectations can set us up for disap-

pointment. Falling in love is like a psychosis that prevents us from clearly seeing the other as a real person: qualities are exaggerated and faults minimized. In the grip of infatuation, we may not be capable of making rational decisions. When infatuation fades (as it always does), many ask with sober reflection, “What was I thinking?” When the honeymoon ends, we become disenchanted, and “happily ever after” becomes work. We can start competing with one another and keeping track of what we compromise. In the ledger of what

we give and take from a relationship, we all lose. To avoid disappointment, should we give up the search for the one true love who is our perfect partner and soul mate? The love we seek is an emotional, spiritual and social ideal but is within our reach. The love we have sought from someone else is what we must nurture within our own hearts. It is unconditional love. It is like a physician’s unconditional positive regard for his patient, wherein the needs of the patient take precedence over those of the physician. The well-being of the

other comes first. We are human and we love imperfectly. More often than not, our affections for one another are conditional. If our partners disappoint and displease us, we hold back our love. We project our own ideals and identity onto our children and if they fail to live to our standards and rules, they may feel we love them less. Unconditional love does not judge but easily forgives. It is like a best friend who knows everything about you but accepts you and loves you anyway; who tells you what you need to know, sees the best in you and

pushes you to live your potential. We are human and we love imperfectly, but we must accept ourselves and the love we have received as imperfect as it may be. Our world is not perfect but there is still beauty in it. We are not perfect but still worthy of love. By nurturing unconditional love, we may live more happily ever after, accepting ourselves, improving our relationships and becoming better parents. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician.

Fortius: Running analysis can help pinpoint problem areas continued from page 13

people manage and prevent injury by scouring data from walking, running and jumping analyses for evidence of structural weaknesses and maladaptive movement patterns. While I’m running, for example, MacLean says the angles between my femur and pelvis are greater all around on my right side compared to my left. That could mean muscle weakness, a lack of flexibility or just a troublesome quirk of my running style. My hip-extension angle when I “toe off,” meanwhile, is less than it should be on both sides. None of these things is visible to the human eye, but they could be what’s behind the hip and knee pain, according to MacLean.

“Five degrees can be quite clinically relevant here because it can have a huge effect on the forces, which is what we’re really interested in because that’s likely what causes the injuries,” he says. His recommendations include physio and work with a strength and conditioning coach. But there’s another problem with my running that I can start to fix on my own. Like many recreational runners, my stride is too long, according to MacLean, something that stresses the knees and hips. Rather than shortening my stride, however, he recommends increasing running “cadence,” something that tends to cut down step length naturally. An optimal stride fre-

quency for distance runners is about 180 steps per minute, MacLean says; mine is about 160. Narrowing that gap is simple: download a playlist of songs at 180 beats per minute and run to it. Viola! After about six to eight running sessions over a two- to three-week period, MacLean predicts my body will adjust to its new running rhythm. Besides preventing future stress on my knees and hips, he says there is a chance it might even address some of my current issues without physio. “I’ve seen some of these pelvic asymmetries resolve just with increased cadence,” he says. Running style, including cadence, has long been on the radar of elite runners,

HASTINGS VETERINARY HOSPITAL The Hastings Veterinary Hospital has been a leader in the veterinary field in Burnaby for more than a decade. Founded in 2003, the veterinary clinic is owned by two brothers, veterinarians, Dr. Jangi Bajwa and Dr. Amardeep Bajwa. Their mandate is to provide the most sincere and compassionate veterinary care possible. Hastings Veterinary Hospital is committed to setting the highest standards of veterinary care and believes in educating pet parents during client consultations. Keeping appointment times longer than the standard practice of 15 minutes gives them the opportunity to get to know the pet better and be able to discuss in detail what would be the best individualized care for each pet. “Animals have always been close to humans but in this day and age, it is about knowing how best you can take care of companion pets. We are lucky to have their unconditional love and it is our responsibility as pet parents to do our best by them. Treatments are tailored for every family’s specific budgets and needs, while still providing valuable care. We do our bit in helping where we can when it comes to the cost of veterinary care. To ensure complete recoveries from illness, a majority of follow-up consultations are performed at no cost” Dr. Jangi Bajwa says. The veterinary hospital is definitely feline friendly, having recently expanded their space in order to open a dedicated cat wing. “Cats like their privacy and a peaceful environment, and many cats are not exposed to the outside which causes

added stress during vet visits. Providing cats and kittens with the most relaxed veterinary visit is key. We set up a separate cat waiting area and have moved the cat boarding to the quietest part of the hospital”. We urge cat parents to bring cats in for regular health checkups” Dr. Jangi Bajwa adds. Dr. Jangi Bajwa is only one of two boardcertified veterinary dermatologists in the lower mainland.

Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed

Savary is a friendly, petite kitty who, although young herself, was found homeless in Burnaby with two kittens who were only two days old. She was taken into foster care to raise her kittens and was a gem in the house and was an excellent mother. Savary is feeling sad since her babies have been adopted. She will require a patient guardian to let her adjust slowly. Savary is a low maintenance cat who would likely be happy to be at home while you work as long as she had a nice window sill to sit in. She likes to sit beside you rather than on your lap and she always seems so appreciative of having a home, food and attention. I didn’t appreciate her scratching my bed so I told her no and placed a scratching post there and from that moment on she learned and was a good girl. I get the feeling that she really appreciates having a home and tries to be a good girl. She a lovely little cat who has the most gorgeous golden eyes and a silky multicoloured coat. She’s quiet and may not show particularly well in a shelter environment but trust me when you get her home she blossoms into a really easy going, affectionate cat.

Farrow is a lover! Get ready to meet the man of your dreams. Farrow is one of the most affectionate lap cats you will ever meet. He would do best in a social household, where he can get a lot of attention and cuddles. He enjoys purring all day long and sometimes we wonder if he ever stops purring. Farrow needs regular brush to keep him looking handsome. He still needs to be neutered prior to adoption. Farrow is an incredibly special boy and he can’t wait to fill your life with love!!!

Mack is a shy guy but makes friends easily! He is very sweet, affectionate and loves to kiss you. Mack needs plenty of exercise and activity, as he loves to run! He would be best suited to an adult only home with or without another dog. He definitely loves the ladies! He can be a bit nervous being indoors so ideally his home should have access to a secure, fenced yard. His guardians will need to help make Mack feel comfortable with slow introductions to new people, places and things. Mack knows how to sit, wait and is very well behaved. He is does like to chase so the feline variety need not apply. Mack loves to play fetch and enjoys his stuffies. Come meet our darling boy!

SPCA ID 349855.

Mystic is a stunning bunny, with unique markings and a super soft fur. She arrived as stray and no one came forward to claim her. Mystic has a great hairdo and would enjoy gentle grooming. She loves her veggies but has her favourites, romaine lettuce and leaf lettuce. Mystic is an active girl that may enjoy bonding with another resident bunny. She is still shy for handling and touching, so any children should be 12+. Building, slow, positive interactions will help her come out of her shell! Come meet our gorgeous girl!

REX

OLIVE

SPCA ID 348887.

2yr 1mth old, Female, Domestic, Medium Hair, Mixed Breed.

ANIMAL ID: 345391 And I am a 1 Year 4 Week old, Neutered Male, Mini Rex, Mixed Breed.

‘Olive’ is one stunning cat seeking her furever home where she’ll be an indoor only cat. She’s a younger gal that survived an attack by a coyote, having suffering injuries to her head and jaw. She required a few stitches to the top of her head but wasn’t able to close her mouth to eat. Through time and some dedication of staff, volunteers and a local vet, who force fed her, she is well on the road of recovery. Her food preference is the crunchy kibble and she now eats with no problems and on her own. She’s a very friendly, quiet and calm cat. She enjoys grooming/petting sessions and short sessions of lap cuddles. Please come see how sweet Olive is!

Rex is a little ham! He loves nothing more then to curl up beside his humans and be groomed and pampered. This little dude was found on the streets of Burnaby. He came to us well socialized, litter trained and very outgoing and friendly. He is afraid of dogs and would ideally go into a home where he could bond with another rabbit. He has an adorable habit of grooming you and himself while he gets scratched. Rex is quiet, somewhat playful and loves his veggies! He would be great in an apartment setting as he is only a petite guy and as long as he gets plenty of exercise, he is content to laze around. This is one very special bunny. Have we drawn you in? Come visit the marvellous Rex!

The BCSPCA cares for more than 32,000 homeless, abused and injured animals each year, including more than 1,000 animals in Burnaby. The non-profit society receives no provincial government funding and is completely reliant on community support for most of its services.

Stealing Christmas Heartwarming play part of Heritage Christmas at Burnaby Village Christmas is coming to Burnaby Village Museum. Forte Theatre Society is hosting its second production for the village’s Heritage Christmas celebrations – which start this weekend. Stealing Christmas is described as a “heartwarming story where the Christmas spirit is revealed to a pair of thieves.” Director Nancy von Euw leads the production, which delves into the lives of five characters in Vancouver during the First

World War. And, von Euw says in a press release, life hasn’t changed much. “We still battle homelessness, and we are still sending our troops overseas to defend our rights and freedom,” she says. The cast includes Phillip Dundas Ure, returning for his third play at Burnaby Village as Roscoe Roebucks. James Johnson, who appears as Constable Duncan, is a Victoria-raised actor and writer who’s in his first Forte Theatre production. Karissa Ketter, who plays Roxie Roebucks, is returning for her fifth Heritage Christmas production.

Holiday feeling:

From left, Kimmie Kidd, Kieylla ThorntonTrump, Karissa Ketter, Phil Dundas, Nancy von Euw (director) and James Johnson (in back) are with Forte Theatre’s production of Stealing Christmas.

They’re joined by Kimberley Kidd (Mae), a Douglas College theatre grad, and Kieylla ThorntonTrump (Polly), who’s making her theatrical debut at Burnaby Village. Stealing Christmas is on at Brookfield Hall on Saturdays and Sundays from Nov. 22 to Dec. 14. It plays at 2:30, 4 and 6:30 p.m. For all the details about Heritage Christmas, check out www.burnabyvillage museum.com. – Julie MacLellan

today’sdrive 20 15 Honda Fit

Your journey starts here.

You forget you’re driving in a very small car BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Fit: one syllable, two meanings. On one hand you’ve got a connotation indicating a good heart rate, a lack of love handles, and a BMI that doesn’t make your family doc furrow her brow while flicking through your chart. On the other hand, it also means being the right size. As a moniker to slap on the back of a subcompact, a company could hardly do better, and with previous Fits, you could say much the same thing about Honda. Particularly in the first generation to arrive in North America, the Fit was quick, cute, capable, and fun to fling around. It was the most Honda-ish car in Honda’s lineup. However, here’s the third generation and both width and power are up. The demands of safety ratings and comfort levels are ever-present and this car is no longer the little flighty Fit that we once knew and loved. It’s all grown up. So, has the littlest Honda gone from Fit to Fat, Or is it still survival of the Fittest?

Design:

Like almost every other modern Honda, there’s a lot going on here design-wise. You’ve got your multilayered grille, you’ve got your faux air-vents out back – it’s less cutesy than the ﬁrst-gen Fit, and a tad more aggressive than the previous model. I quite like it. It’s very Japanese-looking, full of angular creases and a scrunched-up proﬁle, but the new Fit manages to look fresh without overdoing it. The rear non-functional bumper-vents are a bit much, but other than that, it’s a sharp-looking little pod. Hey little Honda, do you work out?

Base cars come with a 15” steelwheel and the top-level EX-L trim comes with a 16” alloy. For those who are buying a subcompact to keep the costs down, that means your next set of winter tires isn’t going to break the bank even if you jump up to the all-the-bells-andwhistles model. There’s more good news inside too.

Environment:

The Fit’s clever interior has been around long enough that you have to wonder why more manufacturers don’t copy it. Whatever the case, the Fit is fabulous on the inside. The easiest way to demonstrate how great the Fit is at packing stuff in is to unload another car into it, as I did. The supplies for a week-long road trip (including toddler, and accompanying accessories) were ferried from a packed-to-the-gills Subaru Impreza hatchback into the Fit, and when the transfer was completed, the Honda still had space aplenty. The seats fold ﬂat, the loading height is low, you can ﬂip the rear seat bottoms up for more clearance, or the whole thing turns into a sort of couch when you’re in line at the ferry. Up front, Honda’s futurism is slightly more of a mixed bag. At the top end of the scale, the centre console is devoid of knobs. Actually, when powered down, it’s completely blanked out. Fire it up and there’s quite a lot of tech on display, and the satellite navigation responds to pinch-andswipe commands. It’s all fairly straightforward to use, but it sure would be handy to have an old-fashioned volume knob. Happily, you get one on the base model.

With the CVT automatic, doing so might be simply noisy. With the six-speed manual, it’s just like driving a Honda of old. Rev it right up into the stratosphere and the Fit scurries down the on-ramp with aplomb. It’s not exactly fast, but it’s as quick as you could want, even when loaded down with a small family and their luggage. Pitch it into a corner, and some of that old Honda charm is not quite what it used to be. This car is tuned for a smoother ride, and isn’t quite as nimble as the ﬁrst-gen Fit, or the old Civic hatchbacks were. Still, it’s no slouch and if you keep the revs up can still be an entertaining drive. On longer roads at higher speeds, the Fit’s subcompact roots do show through. At highway speeds the tachometer reads above 3000rpm, so there’s plenty of engine noise to go with the wind noise. I suppose it’s more a comment on the sheer amount of space and nicely-appointed interior that you forget you’re driving in a very small car: for its class, it’s perfectly acceptable.

Features:

All Fits come with a standard backup camera and touchscreen, power doorlocks, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a whole host of other features. Stepping up a level gets you those USB connectors and heated front seats, and the top-spec EX-L comes with some pretty unique stuff. Take Honda’s camera-based lane-watch system. Put on your indicator and it shows you your right-side blindspot displayed in the centre console. It’s not the only thing to look at, but an extra check that might help you spot a cyclist or similar.

You also have to wonder why there’s an HDMI input but no auxiliary jack. Still, with dual USB ports so that everyone’s got enough to charge all their devices, and a number of interior cubbies, it’s a useful, comfortable, well-ﬁtting place to be.

Fuel economy ratings are decent, as you’d expect for a subcompact, rated at 7.3L/100kms City and 6.1L/100kms Highway for the CVT, and 8.1L/100kms City and 6.4L/100kms Highway for the manual. Observed consumption in the manual on the highway was slightly higher than rated.

Performance:

Green Light:

Even though this year’s Fit is slightly smaller than last year’s model, Honda’s managed to cram more power under hood. The engine is now a 1.5L fourcylinder making 130hp at 6600rpm and 114lb/ft of torque at 4600rpm. If you look at the torque ﬁgure, you’ll note that it’s a little on the light side, so winding up that little four-pot is required for passing or merging.

Clever interior use; good feature availability; strong fuel economy; willing performance

Stop Sign:

Loud on the highway; lack of tactile controls; manual geared on the low side

The Checkered Flag:

The best interior in the segment and still solid in every other category. Would Fit right in to your family.

Guess what’s new from Mazda in Mexico? Coming in 2015, a boost for Scion

It’s obvious to anyone entering the Scion section of any Toyota dealership that the range of product offerings, consisting of a couple of sporty cars, a boxy wagon and a Smartcar-sized runabout, is pretty thin. The Sleuth hears that parent company Toyota will finally do something to rejuvenate the flagging brand, starting with the upcoming iM that will make an appearance at the upcoming Los Angeles International Auto Show in November. Although the automaker calls the iM a concept car, it was previously launched in Europe as the 2013 Toyota Auris Touring Sports. The compact-size wagon/hatchback should give Scion a real shot in the arm and would also provide the brand its firstever gas-electric hybrid model (a gas-only four-cylinder engine will also be available).

More small fry on the way from Mazda:

The company’s upcoming second-generation Mazda2 hasn’t yet officially arrived in North America from its new production facility in Mexico and already The Sleuth has caught wind that a tall wagon offshoot is in the works. The CX-3, as the car will be named, will be

based off the Mazda2 platform. As with the larger CX-5, the junior version will be available in frontand rear-wheel-drive, but will have the same 155-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that is used in the Mazda3. A smaller 1.5-litre four from the Mazda2 might also be installed in base frontwheel-drive models. Given the success of the CX-5 and the growing popularity of small wagons, the CX-3 should be well received in North America, opines The Sneakster.

The Touareg will live on

Volkswagen’s pricey sport utility vehicle sells in limited quantities, but that doesn’t seem to bother the automaker all that much. Although some have predicted Touareg’s ultimate demise, The Sleuth has word that an all-new model is in the works for release in about two years’ time as a 2018 model. As it does currently, the VW will share the same basic platform with the next-gen Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne wagons plus an all-new model from Bentley (all are Volkswagen-owned brands). As for engines, The Spymaster hears that a turbocharged four-cylinder will be the primary power source, while a hybrid system and a turbo-diesel will be optional. As well, the automaker’s upcoming 10-speed automated manual transmission will be a Touareg item.

It’s Vegas, baby, for Formula One

According to The Sleuth’s usually reliable sources, Bernie Ecclestone, the boss of the world’s

most prestigious racing series, is seriously considering a second venue for an Formula One race in the United States, in addition to the current locale at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Tex. Apparently Ecclestone envisions the

Auto Sleuth: Aluminum Wrangler? continued from page 25

is the latest to jump onto the aluminum bandwagon and will use the lightweight material to build the next Wrangler off-roader at its plant in Toledo, Ohio. Initially, the plan was to move the Wrangler off of its strongbut-hefty body-on-frame construction, however this was deemed too radical a move that might upset loyal Jeep fans. Switching to an aluminum shell should keep these folks happy, while allowing for

smaller and less thirsty engines.

Up, the restoration of 36 Corvettes formerly owned by pop-artist Peter Max: The cars in question consist of one for each model year from 1953’89. The collection was originally purchased for more than US $600,000 as a sweepstakes prize awarded by VH1 music video channel in 1989. The contest winner sold

the ‘Vettes to Max, who warehoused then in a New York City garage before eventually selling them off. The Corvettes’ current owner plans to restore the neglected fleet before auctioning it all off as a group. Up, the seventh instalment of the Fast and Furious movie franchise: Fans of the late Paul Walker who want to watch him in blazing hot-car action one last time won’t want to miss the stuntand CGI-filled Furious7 movie that’s set for release in April.

amazing against the vineyards, doesn’t it?” Yup. A morning hike up some terrifying rock faces in the hip little Arizona town of Sedona was also one of those playtimes. Standing on top of the red spires, the view was incredible. “Hey, look I can see the Panamera in the parking lot!” The drive through California’s Death Valley should be on everyone’s bucket list. Honestly. The Panamera’s 550 horsepower made short work of the asphalt strung through the Martian landscape. It’s difficult to quantify what makes a great roadtrip car, but the lesson is that if the road-trip car is great, you’ll likely want to add some miles, inadvertently making the road trip better by seeing more and probably doing more. Without the Panamera, it would have been a straight shot to L.A. from San Francisco and I wouldn’t have crammed as much living into 10 days. Jeff Melnychuk is managing editor at Wheelbase Media.

previously wrote an editorial about taking more road trips, stopping the over-planning and enjoying the people and places that drop onto your lap along the way. You know, take that offramp and see what happens. Stop at that shop on the corner and meet some new folks. That kind of thing. As if to prove the point, right after completing the column, I picked up a car in San Francisco, Calif., for a road trip to Los Angeles. Normally, it takes the better part of a day of straight driving to get there, but on this trip I managed to finagle 10 days to do it, which would mean way more time out of the car than in it. There was one minor oversight, however. To do some of these things, you need to actually get out of the car every once in a while. You see, my roadtrip car was a $200,000 Porsche Panamera Turbo S sedan and getting out

and doing all that meetnew-people, do-localthings stuff seemed rather secondary to just driving a car I might never be in again. So, rather than taking 10 days to meander to L.A. down the Pacific Coast highway, I decided to detour and simply add some miles to get more seat time in the Panamera. Not a few miles here and there, either. Like, San Fran to L.A. via Napa Valley, Yosemite Park, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. What might have been a 1,000-kilometre stop-andgo trip turned into a 3,000kilometre mostly-go trip with stops late in the day to bed down. Of course, there was still playtime. The tour of Chateau Montelena Winery in Napa – from the movie Bottle Shock – was one of many wine-shop stops that were made. There are few places like this where you feel bathed in the scenery. Even there it’s about the car, though. “The Panamera looks

Catch the Christmas spirit at craft market It’s been a Christmas tradition for more than 40 years - and it’s back at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts next weekend. The Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Craft Festival returns to the Shadbolt from Friday, Nov. 21 to Sunday, Nov. 23. The 43rd annual festival is a major fundraiser for the arts council and its only craft-focused public market. “We have continued the tradition of jurying artisans for entry and consider only those applicants with the highest quality, hand-crafted creations,” said an email from Teena Martin, office manager of the arts council. “Although there is one sweet senior who grows and cultivates her own live orchids, so we could not resist including her in the event!” The festival includes 50 artisans – among them glass blowers, sculptors, potters, woodworkers, fashion and jewelry designers, and many more. There will also be a selection of artisans offering season edibles – chocolates, mixed spices, Christmas cakes, cookies, jams and jellies, and designer honey. Martin highlights a few of those who will be on hand: “returning artists such as

Violet Finvers’ creative glass work, Jennifer Conway and her Raven’s Rest Studio featuring handcrafted funky gifts and accessories, to Andrew Riddle’s woodwork that will appeal to those who love the smell of fresh-cut wood and repurposed design.” The festival will also include entertainment, with a variety of performers scheduled to entertain throughout the weekend – including the Royal City Concert Band, the Gloria Dei Chorale, a creative storyteller and others. The festival will also include the popular raffle table, with a variety of donated items from businesses, arts council board members and crafters, plus daily door prizes. “Don’t miss out on the opportunity to finish all of your Christmas shopping in one location, well before that December deadline!” Martin invites. Admission and parking are free. The festival runs Friday from 2 to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more about the craft festival, check out www.burnabyartscouncil.org. twitter.com/juliemaclellan

Run raises $17,000 for Honour House Cayley Dobie staff reporter

For the second year in a row, the Adrian Oliver Memorial Run raised more than $10,000 for Honour House. About 300 people braved frigid temperatures on Saturday to run the five-kilometre charity run around Deer Lake Park, Const. Ben Oliver with the Burnaby RCMP told the Burnaby NOW on Monday. The run is in memory of Oliver’s brother Adrian, who was a constable with the Surrey RCMP. Adrian was killed while on duty in November 2012 when a semi-truck crashed into his police cruiser. Last year was the first year for the event – organized by Oliver and a few other friends – and about 200 people turned out for the run. This year, about 100 more people took part in the fundraiser, raising nearly $17,000 for Honour House, Oliver said.

We’ve got answers to your beauty questions from supermodel Coco Rocha, two custom suits from Indochino to give away plus a complete set of base layers from Icebreaker Merino up for grabs.

“The raffle and the silent auction brought in close to $10,000 and then everything else was around $7,000,” he said. “We were pretty happy with the turnout. It was good – short and sweet just like we wanted it.” All the money raised will be donated to Honour House, which provides temporary housing for families of Canadian Forces and first responders. When Adrian was killed two years ago, the Oliver family stayed at Honour House. The stay made such an impact during that tragic time that Oliver decided to organize a fundraiser for the house in Adrian’s honour. Planning for next year’s run is already underway, Oliver said. “We have a meeting with our guys probably in the next week to see what went right and what went wrong and what we can do better,” he said. “It’ll be even bigger next year I hope.”

Gifts for gardeners GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

hen gardeners seek out gifts for other gardeners in-store or online, it’s not hard to discover things that would be so useful in your own garden – sometimes replacing sentimental hand-me-downs that never did work well anyway. For instance, rural gar-

deners with trees shedding acorns or black walnuts usually get into a sequence of rake-bend-rake that can last for hours each fall and is hard on backs. But it is possible to acquire a fruitand-nut gatherer. This is a hollow ball of flexible wires on a long stick that’s said to pick up quantities fast. These and city lot gardeners find a wheelbarrow essential. But storing wheelbarrows takes space best used for other things. Landscapers’ canvas bags have very large wide-open mouths and are easy to drag from one spot to another. Later, they can be

scrunched up into next to no space. Spades and forks can start to feel heavy as one gets older. That’s where smallish floral shovels and forks start becoming useful for vegetable gardens as well as flower beds. For people gardening in large containers, mini shovels are hugely valuable. For windowsill gardeners there are mini spades just a few inches long. Both ends can be used. The spade end has a point while, at the other end, the handle is fluted. More of these gardeners are now starting plants on Gardening Page 35

Gardening: Great gifts for the green thumbs

Christmassy. But in a decorative basket together with scrubbing type soap, hand cream, copper slug tape and perhaps an LED flashlight for night slug walks, they could get a big welcome. A gel-filled cooling scarf for gardening on sweltering days would be another useful addition. One spring task for most homeowners is the wasp nest tour, knocking down the beginnings of nests. Personally, I find the paper wasps (with the long legs) mild and friendly. But the yellow-jackets get more aggressive the

bigger the nest gets. These nests must be removed from above doors and unscreened windows. One way of dealing with this task is the fake wasp nest, which is said to deter wasps from establishing nests within 20 feet of where the fabricated nest is hung. These nests are quite beautiful, and wasp-plagued gardeners might like to try them out. In winter, many gardeners like bird feeders in the garden, and some make their own seed mixes. But seed-covered bells or balls can also be bought. Seed-

covered decorative little houses are also available. But these are not recommended for bear country. Bears find bird feeders a great source of food. Around Christmas some of the most popular flowering plants (orchids, Christmas cactus and tender azaleas) need high humidity. Giving a plant mister, along with the plant, is a helpful reminder of the care they need. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her by email, amarrison@shaw.ca. Include the name of your city.

No middle road for Clan senior Tom Berridge

sports editor

Simon Fraser University’s middle blocker Madeline Hait is going out on top. Hait, a senior, was named to the Great Northwest all-conference first team Tuesday. The 22-year-old Burnaby Central grad finished her NCAA women’s volleyball career tied for 22nd in the nation and second in the conference in blocks, averaging 1.17 stops/set. Hait also placed sixth in the conference with a .291 hitting average and 162 kills this season. Hait was among four graduating seniors who finished their women’s volleyball careers with the first winning Division II season for the Clan since entering the NCAA Div. II in 2010. Brooklynn GouldBradbury, Kelsey Robinson and Amanda Renkema were the others who finished off their collegiate careers for SFU with a 3-0 sweep over Alaska Fairbanks on Saturday. All four figured prominently in the team’s 17th victory of the season, helping the Clan program to an 11-7 record in the Great Northwest conference. “I really enjoyed it all. There was a lot of school pride being the only Canadian school,” said Hait, who was also one of three SFU volleyball players earning a spot on the Great Northwest academic all-conference team with a 3.60 grade point average

All-conference: Senior Simon Fraser University middle blocker Madeline Hait of Burnaby was named to the Great Northwest all-conference women’s volleyball team on Tuesday. in marketing and international business. The SFU program started at the bottom of the conference but steadily grew in respectability under the guidance of second-year head coach Gina Schultz. “Our progress is a direct result of the effort, attitude and teamwork the girls bring to the gym every day,” said Schmidt. Devon May led the Clan with 19 kills against Fairbanks. Robinson

chipped in with 12 kills and a dozen digs, while Hait and Renkema added eight kills apiece. GouldBradbury had 25 set assists for the Clan. Earlier in the week, SFU lost a 3-1 match to West region No. 2 Alaska Anchorage. Robinson led the Clan with with 12 kills and five digs, while Hait added 10 kills and three blocks. Hait, Robinson and Renkema were all mem-

bers of the Clan’s inaugural NCAA recruiting class. Hait, a middle blocker, led the team in blocks for the past two seasons. “We had to struggle through some hard seasons. It’s a good learning experience. You can’t always get the results you want, but there is a level of competitiveness now,” said Hait. “Winning feels good – being able to compete at a certain level and playing point-for-point.

That’s what you strive for, knowing you can compete with any team.” Last year, Hait was named a Great Northwest honourable mention. This season, she earned the Clan’s first-ever conference defensive player of the week award following a 13-block performance in games against Montana State Billings and Seattle Pacific.

sports editor

Byrne Creek Secondary student Henry Huang was a double bronze medallist at the B.C. high school swimming championships last weekend. Haung placed third in both the B boys’ 50- and 100-metre freestyle races at Watermania in Richmond. He also won the B flight final in the 50m butterfly. Burnaby Mountain swimmers also made a strong showing, earning individual and team medals to place eighth overall in the aggregate standings with 237 points behind provincial champion St. George’s and runners-up

Penticton High and West Point Grey Academy. Mountain was also seventh overall in the boys’ aggregate and 14th in the girls’ combined. Mountain’s Wendy Yang won a gold medal in the open girls’ 50m free, while teammates Elaine Lam and Robyn Lee finished third and fourth, respectively. Lam and Lee shared a silver medal with Brian Fung and Andrew Woinoski in the open mixed 200m free relay. Lee and Lam also placed fifth and seventh, respectively, in the open girls’ 100m free. Woinoski and Fung joined Yang and Lee for another secondplace medal in the mixed 200m

medley relay. Woinoski also won an individual bronze for Mountain in the open boys’ 200m individual medley won by New Westminster Secondary’s Hau-Li Fan. Fan also placed second in the open 100m fly. Fung placed fourth in the open boys’ 50m free. Burnaby North, eighth-place finishers in the boys’ aggregate, won a team medal in the B boys’ 200m medley relay behind bronzemedal swims by Ethan Xue, Brady Liu, Aaron Cheong and Jacob Ng. Philip He of Mountain led a number of other Burnaby students to final swims, placing fifth in the B boys’ 50m backstroke. Lauryn Sartori of Notre Dame

was fifth in the B girls’ 50m breaststroke. Brady Liu of Burnaby North was also fifth and William Truong of Mountain was sixth in the B boys’ 50m breast. Dilip Rathinakumar of New West finished fifth in the B boys’ 50m fly. Rathinakumar joined Fan, Amar Fejzic and Xavier Lau for a fourth-place finish in the open boys’ 200m medley.

Rounding out the top 30 in combined team points were Burnaby North with 136 points, New West with 118 and STM with 110.

More honours for top tackler Jordan Herdman was selected the Great Northwest Athletic Conference defensive football player of the year. The Simon Fraser University sophomore, who was unanimously voted a first-team all-star at linebacker, set the Great Northwest single game and single season records for tackles this season, finishing second in the NCAA Division II in tackles this regular season, averaging 15 per game. His single season tackle total of 165 was 66 more than the closest competitor in conference play and 37 more than the previous record of 128 set by Caleb Jessup of Western Washington in 2008. The previous singlegame record of 25 tackles also stood since 2008, as Herdman made 27 tackles against South Dakota School of Mines. Herdman also headlined the Great Northwest academic all-conference team with a 3.99 grade point average in biomedical physiology. He was a two-time conference player of the week and finished the 11-game season with 67 solo tackles, 98 assisted tackles and 14 tackles for a loss. Nine other SFU players joined Herdman on all-conference teams, including senior receiver Lemar Durant and junior offensive lineman Michael Couture on the first team. It was Durant’s third consecutive season named to the all-conference squad. Durant led the Great Northwest in receptions per game, averaging just under seven catches for 85.6 yards per outing. Selected to the Great Northwest second team were offensive lineman Felix Gacusana, kick returner Earl Anderson, defensive linemen Jamie Puffer and Quinn Horton, linebacker Mitchell Barnett and punter Nikolai Karpun, while wide receiver Bobby Pospischil was selected as an honourable mention. tberridge@burnabynow. com

HOCKEY BRIEFS

Tough week for Burnaby teams; teddy toss upcoming The Northwest Giants suffered back-to-back losses to the Cariboo Cougars in a battle for top spot in the B.C. major midget hockey league. The Cougars got three goals from Austin Gray to win 5-1 in the opening game on Nov. 15 and two goals from Colton Thomas in a 4-1 victory over the visitors the following day. Josh Latta and Ryland Chernomaz, with an unassisted marker, replied for the 12-4-0 Giants. The Giants are in Richmond this weekend for a two-game set against Greater Vancouver.

Five straight

The Grandview Steelers fell to 9-11-0-1 following the team’s fifth straight loss in Pacific Junior Hockey League play. The junior B Steelers led the Delta Ice Hawks 3-2 with less than two minutes left in the third period in a 4-3 double overtime loss at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Tuesday. Earlier, the Burnaby Winter Club-based club lost 2-0 to the Port Moody Panthers at home on

Sunday. The Steelers fell below .500 following a 6-2 loss to the Richmond Sockeyes on Nov. 13. Grandview hosts firstplace North Vancouver Wolf Pack at the winter club on Sunday. Puck drops at 4 p.m.

100 milestone

Burnaby’s Joey LaLeggia reached a career milestone with the University of Denver NCAA Division I hockey team this week. The Burnaby Winter Club product tallied his 100th career point with a goal and two assists in Denver’s 8-1 win over Colorado College. The feat garnered the Denver D-man player of the week in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. The Denver senior was a plus-4 in the game and named first star.

goal of the Western Hockey League season for the Spokane Chiefs in a 5-3 loss to the Tri-City Americans on Saturday. The third-year Chiefs left winger is currently seventh in goals scored and 14th overall in WHL scoring with 27 total points. Former NW Giants forward Janssen Harkins, in his second season with the Prince George Cougars, is tied for 16th place with six goals and 20 assists.

Teddy toss Dec. 6

Michael Sandor’s lone goal gave Simon Fraser University a muchneeded 1-0 victory over Selkirk College in B.C. Intercollegiate hockey last Saturday. Sandor’s second-period tally midway through the frame was all SFU goalie Andrew Parent needed to post his first shutout of the season. The Clan club will be holding its annual Teddy Bear toss on Dec. 6, when it hosts Eastern Washington University in the final regular season game in 2014. tberridge@burnabynow. com

But it wasn’t always like that for the Burnaby blocker. “I started out not as good as I am now,” Hait said. “Commitment is tough over the long term. That’s when you have to take a step back and not place your whole identity in sport.” Hait balanced her varsity career put-

ting a priority on her studies and earning three consecutive academic all-conference honours. “Our four seniors have made a huge impact during my two seasons here,” Schmidt added. “We will miss their contributions and leadership next year, but they have helped pave the way for a bright future for our program.” Twitter @ThomasBerridge
