Burnaby shuts door on new art gallery Staff report says a new building is not supported by the community and isn’t needed to support the arts

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

It’s not the answer the Burnaby Arts Council was hoping for.

The City of Burnaby won’t support a new art gallery, according to a recent

staff report.

The city’s parks director says the need for the project isn’t widely accepted by the community.

The arts council disagrees.

“This has been an issue that’s been going on for

30 years now; submissions have come up over and over again,” says arts council member David Handelman, adding more than 100 people attended a forum on the matter in November 2015.

The current gallery is at Ceperley Mansion in Deer

Lake Park. It’s been there since 1967 and was restored in 1998.

The arts council has long argued the space is a fraction of the size (1,500 square feet in total) of art galleries in other municipalities with a similar popula-

Artists’ visions take root

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A new piece of public art has put down roots in Metrotown.

Artists Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo of Lead Pencil Studio unveiled Old Column – a 25-foot, 1,300-pound metal sculpture that takes the shape of a Douglas Fir tree – at the corner of Beresford Street and Willingdon Avenue last week.The site is where Boffo Developments’ new Modello tower stands.

The pair is widely known for their work, including a sculpture at the Peace Arch border crossing called Non-Sign II, a blank space in the shape of a billboard that is surrounded by tangled metal.

Old Column was Han’s and Mihalyo’s first commissioned art piece in Canada – one that seeks to show the transition from the natural environment to the urban. It’s meant to be the focal point of the Beresford Art Walk planned for Metrotown.

Completing Old Column took the Seattle-based artists nine months, five months more than anticipated.

“We had to do it from one corner and build up, so we had to cut the angles and grind them out, as we made each piece,” Han tells the NOW. They chose the Douglas fir because they

were inspired by the trees in nearby Central Park.

“We were thinking a lot about concrete buildings, how much wood goes into making them and that sort of translation of the natural environment to the urban environment,” says Mihalyo, adding some parts of the sculpture are plated with 24-carat gold.

“We wanted it to take a natural form to show its transformation from a tree to a log to a structural shape, also our scientific view of that – understanding the tree in sections and how it draws water from the roots to the branches, at hundreds of feet tall. It’s a very mechanical system to get water that high.”

Old Column cost around $300,000 and was paid solely by Boffo. Han notes more and more developers are adopting public art into their public spaces.

“People are realizing there are things that are important to us that are visual and there are things that are important to us that are beyond going to a subscribed experience, (like) going to the gallery space,” she says.

Besides wanting passersby to admire their work, Han and Mihalyo want people to touch it and really interact with it.

They urge the public to check out Old Column in the afternoon when the sun comes around the corner and the rays bring it to life.

FEDERAL NDP

MP Peter Julian pulls out of leadership race

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian has dropped his bid to replace federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair this fall.

The MP made the announcement Thursday, saying he couldn’t secure enough donations to con-

tinue on.

He told the NOW his team raised more than $80,000 over six months, but to run a national campaign, a candidate needs between $500,000 and one million dollars.

“Most of that (money) came from folks in New Westminster and Burnaby, who are tremendously sup-

portive, but we needed to have donations from other parts of Canada, and they weren’t coming in,” he said.

Julian was the first candidate to throw his hat into the ring.

“There’s no guarantee.

We had a financial plan and a game plan,” he said.

“What you can do is put a best-case scenario and work

hard to achieve it.”

He noted a highlight from his campaign was getting his party to take a position on Kinder Morgan.

“The federal party has always kind of avoided the issue and we put it out there when we launched in February, and all of the candidates have come to our position,” he said of his op-

position to the pipeline project. “Tuition fees as well and campaigning to eliminate them.”

The MP said he’s looking forward to being back in the riding and will be endorsing one of the four remaining candidates in a few weeks.

“I’m glad we went in.

We fought a good fight; we changed the party in a num-

ber of ways,” he said. “I know moving forward how much money it takes in the final 90 days.You need to be very prudent and not undertake financial obligations that are beyond your means.”

The remaining leadership hopefuls are Charlie Angus, Niki Ashton, Guy Caron and Jagmeet Singh.

City now

City won’t support a new art gallery Continued from page 1 gallery at Civic Square in Metrotown.

Dave Ellenwood, director of parks, recreation and cultural services and co-author of the report, says going forward with the project contradicts the city’s arts policy, the social sustainability strategy and the economic development strategy.

“There’s no real statement there that a structure or a building is necessitated by policy. What’s necessitated by policy is development of the arts – period.”

Finding new ways to get the artwork to the public is “paramount,” and that is where staff are focusing their efforts, adds Ellenwood.

“The arts community is thriving. I’ve seen it for myself, but I don’t necessarily agree that the tipping point is a brand new gallery. It’s the collection we want to focus on,” he says, rejecting the claim Deer Lake Park isn’t an ideal location.

“It’s a central location; it’s in the precinct that includes the Shadbolt (Centre for the Arts). It includes major recreation facilities,” he says. “It’s right by the festival lawn where we have thousands of people coming through there every year. Everybody knows it’s Burnaby’s arts centre hub.”

REC CENTRES VERSUS THE ARTS The report “doesn’t express much of a vision,” according to Handelman.

“Every policy they’ve identified seems to support the fact that they don’t need or want a new gallery,” he says.

The conditions that existed in Burnaby in 1990 are not the same; the population is much greater, density’s much greater and we would think there’s a lot more people involved in the arts.

Handelman wants the city to update its 27-yearold arts policy.

“The conditions that existed in Burnaby in 1990 are not the same; the population is much greater, density’s much greater and we would think there’s a lot more people involved in the arts,” he tells the NOW. The report notes city staff will consider engagement opportunities in the arts at new and renovated city facilities and projects going forward – such as the public art components of the Willingdon Linear Park currently being developed.

“That’s a good thing but that’s not a place where people are going to gather,” Handelman says.

The report mentions the city’s use of community benefit bonus funds – money developers pay that is used for civic projects like non-market housing and community amenities.

A new Edmonds arena complex, the replacement of Cameron Recreation Centre and a new Brentwood Community Centre are just some of city council’s priorities.

The city allocates about three times the amount for recreational centres compared to cultural facilities.

According to the city’s 2017 to 2021 capital plan,

$9,818,000 will be spent on rec centres in 2017, compared to $3,552,400 allotted for cultural facilities.

“The way Burnaby seems to go, they seem to build things when they want to,” says Handelman.

“Burnaby has done a very good job at building recreation centres and sports facilities. … We think more should be done (for the arts). … We support their efforts; we just think in this particular area, they could be doing a better job.”

Having corporate partners step up to the plate for a new art gallery could be an option, he adds.

The arts council asked the city to take a lead on a feasibility study back in February 2016. Council agreed to have staff look into the request and report back.

The 14-page document initially came before city council on June 12 and an advanced copy was sent to the arts council. The organization requested some time to review it, so the report was tabled until July 10, at which time some arts council members will appear as a delegation and discuss the report.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Time to crack open the books and work After the whirlwind political drama that recently unfolded, this week, the NDP gets to crack open the province’s books and get ready for governing.

After 16 years in the political wilderness, the party will have its work cut out for them.

Campaign finance reform looks to be an early priority and a “quick

win” for the new government.

Issues of softwood lumber and the fentanyl crisis, also priorities, will be more resistant to easy solutions.

The NDP now has the burden of expectation – from labour groups, from environmentalists, from a squeezed middle class and a business communi-

ty keen to ensure British Columbia’s credit rating and rosy financial outlook remain intact.

The NDP also must maintain the blessing of the Green caucus. All with a one-seat edge.

That’s no easy task.

Many on the NDP bench are relative newcomers to politics. Compare that to the experi-

The NDP now has the burden of expectation

enced Liberal ranks, who have the advantage of knowing where potential

landmines lurk.

The bureaucracy – which has essentially been running the province for the past three months – will also take time to shed received wisdom from their previous political masters that shows up in how politics get interpreted on the ground.

And after years of cry-

ing “not enough funding,” it’s now on the NDP to put up.

As John Horgan and his team get set to bring in a fall budget – which will show us where the real priorities lie – we’ll be watching carefully.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

MY VIEW MIKE KLASSEN

Making a case for term limits for city mayors Over the weekend, the newly elected 39-year-old French president Emmanuel Macron made a compelling speech at the palace of Versailles, describing the need for political renewal in France and in the E.U. Macron promised a “profound transformation” and called for an end of the defeatism and cynicism he says has gripped the continent.

“The building of Europe has been weakened by the spread of bureaucracy and by the growing skepticism that comes from that,” said the French president.

Macron’s speech got me thinking about political renewal back home. Specifically, how long is too long for a government or public official to hold office? That question comes up continually as election season approaches.

For example, how many times did B.C. Liberals’ critics point out the Liberals had governed for 16 years?

There were the repeated references to the “dismal decade” aimed at the B.C. NDP, too, suggesting they held government for toobleeping-long as well.

There is no hard science as to when an elected official reaches his or her expiry date but, particularly in local government, we see mayors and councillors who get very comfortable in their jobs.The reason they ran for office in the first place is often a distant memory.

Ninety-something Hazel McCallion gets the en-

durance prize. She was a Mississauga, Ont., mayor for 36 years before retiring in 2014.Though she was an immensely popular civic leader, I observe that she oversaw the development of a sprawling, car-oriented community.

In Metro Vancouver, we have a few mayors looking to give McCallion a run for her money.The Corporation of Delta has had Lois Jackson as mayor since 1999. Jackson, who was first elected in 1972, has said this will be her last term in office.

In the City of North Vancouver, Darrell Mussatto has been on city council nearly 25 years. He was first elected in 1993, and has been mayor for the past 12 years. Richard Walton in the neighbouring District of North Vancouver was elected to council in 2002, sitting as mayor since 2005.

In the Tri-Cities, we have Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart in city hall since 2005, and mayor since 2008. PoCo’s Greg Moore was first elected in 2002 and has been mayor since 2008 also.

In Richmond, there is a range of controversial issues that have faced council during the tenure of Malcolm Brodie.The latest is the enormous, castle-sized homes that have been built on farm land for years, only recently making headlines.

Brodie has served on council since 1996 and as mayor since 2001.

RCMP MUSICAL RIDE: When: Friday, Aug. 18 Where: Swangard Stadium With Canada turning 150 this year, what better way to celebrate than watching the RCMP’s Musical Ride, coming to Swangard Stadium Friday, Aug. 18.

The highlight is a troop of 32 horses and Mounties showing off choreographed cavalry drills to music.

“From the famous ‘dome’ formation, which was once featured on the back of the Canadian $50 bill, to

the exciting ‘charge’ movement, where lances are lowered and the riders and their mounts launch into a gallop, the RCMP Musical Ride continues to be a much-loved event across Canada,” reads an event notice.

There will also be preshow entertainment provided by the RCMP E Division pipes and drums, and Grupo Axé Capoeira.

The festivities are on from 5:30 to 9 p.m.Tickets cost $10 (kids five and under get in free). Proceeds from ticket sales will support Honour House Society and Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

Not tragic at all: Parkcrest Elementary School students sing The Tragically Hip’s song Ahead by a Century at a public school board meeting at Burnaby Central Secondary recently. Parkcrest and Chaffey-Burke students learned the song for Canada150. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

These kids are pretty hip Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Two Burnaby elementary schools decided to celebrate Canada150 with a pretty hip birthday song.

Led by teachers Sheila Gourlay and Carlen Montgomery, about 700 students at Parkcrest and ChaffeyBurke elementary schools rehearsed and recorded The Tragically Hip song Ahead by a Century.

A video of their efforts is being submitted to A Kids’ Guide to Canada150, an

online interactive map that connects students nationwide.

The project had three goals, according to organizers who attended a school board meeting with some of the students last month.

The initiative was designed to raise money for cancer research, to honour Hip lead singer Gord Downie, who has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation.

Youth jail abuzz with new beekeeping course

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Young offenders at a Burnaby jail will care for hives full of bees for high school credit thanks to a new board authority approved beekeeping course.

The Burnaby school board approved Introductory Beekeeping 11 in February, and the first students to take the program will be at Fraser Park Secondary, the district-run school at the BurnabyYouth Custody Services Centre.

The course was created

by Cariboo Hill alternate education teacher Brian Saunders, who is also a professional beekeeper.

He thinks the activity will be a good fit for the centre’s clientele.

“Kids that are drawn to thrill seeking – there’s a certain attraction to the perceived danger of 10,000 bees,” he told the NOW. “It is a bit of a rush the first time you hold up a frame full of bees.You have to be very careful.”

Students, who range from age 12 to 17 at the centre,

Hiving a good time: A nucleus of bees waits to be transferred into two hives built at the youth correctional centre. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

helped build two hives in the centre’s shop class, and Saunders dropped off a nucleus colony (nuc) of bees last month.

Swathed in beekeeping veils, a small group of youths welcomed them to their new home next to the jail’s garden.

Despite their protective clothing, most students stayed well clear of the bees.

Most, but not all.

“It’s fun,” said one 15-year-old who helped Saunders lift bee-covered frames into hives, raised his

arms in the air and called himself the “bee whisperer” as thousands of the insects buzzed around him.

“Honestly, I used to be scared of bees, but now that I have this suit on and stuff, I feel good and get to play with them,” he said.

There’s always one, Saunders said.

“There’s always someone that is kind of excited by what seems like a dangerous situation,” he said. “He had that kind of fun moment where you realize it wasn’t that dangerous.”

Easy beesy: Burnaby teacher Brian Saunders helps a student transfer bees into hives set up at the Burnaby youth custody centre for a new beekeeping course. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Saunders took up beekeeping about seven years ago and founded Raincity Beekeeping, a business with bees on the roof of a hotel in West End Vancouver and at an organic co-op in Al-

dergrove.

It took him about a year of paperwork, he said, to unite his two jobs in the school district’s newest elective.

Even if his Fraser Park

students don’t take up beekeeping as a career, Saunders said research shows it’s a “very good activity for mental health and life skills for certain populations.”

Course sparks interest

Continued from page 16 Besides tending the bees outside, students will spend some classroom time learning about the insect’s biology and life cycle as well as the diseases and parasites that threaten it.

“I’m not going to force these guys to sit through hours and hours of classroom learning but enough

that they understand what’s happening and what to look for when they get to the point of inspecting a hive,” Saunders said.

The logistics of bringing certain programs to Fraser Park can get complicated, according to head teacher Tom Cikes.

Not all students can mix in every program, for exam-

ple, but Cikes said he was on board with the beekeeping course from the beginning.

“As many programs as we can integrate here to keep the students interested, it just keeps them from wandering in different directions that we don’t want them to wander,” Cikes said.

Quality tools can be the key to a job well done Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

I love my garden tools.

Using quality tools, when doing any job, is key to squeezing the greatest possible joy out of the experience. But how do you know when you are buying ‘quality’ with the inherent benefits like durability, long lasting performance and a tool that just works better with the passage of time? Ask me, I know a thing or two about it.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GREAT TOOL Hardened steel High carbon steel has great tensile strength.This means that a pair of hand pruners made from this material will resist breaking and will hold a sharp edge longer than a blade that is not made of high carbon steel.

It helps to have a metal file handy in the garage or tool shed to run up and down the blade before you

begin work. I don’t just mean ‘at the beginning of the season,’ but at the beginning of each work session in the garden. I have several bastard files around my 10-acre property so that I don’t ever have to walk too far to find one. I use it for a minute – sometimes less – to put an edge on my hedge shears, digging tools like a spade or shovel, and my weeding tools like the Backhoe or Dutch hoe.

If you make this simple task a habit before you head out to the garden with your steel tools, I guarantee you will reduce the stress on your own body as you work.

And you will work more efficiently. I give the metal parts a squirt of oil too.

Chrome Chrome digging tools are gaining a lot of attention these days.They are less sticky than steel tools, so dirt falls off them more freely.They tend to be ‘head heavy,’ as the blade is solid forged and if you just drop it into the soil you will find that it will do much of the

work for you. I think that they are handsome too.

Handles There are many heavyduty handles on digging and weeding tools. I much prefer old-fashioned hardwood handles.They are light, heavy duty, provide just the right amount of flexibility and they are handsome when you care for them. After the first couple of seasons of use, either rub some linseed oil on them or apply a spar varnish and you will lengthen the useful life of the tool.

When you buy a woodenhandled tool, be sure to wrap your hand around it before you purchase. Make sure it feels confident in your hand. Some handles are ultra-padded and others are very thick: I don’t like either. I get all the padding that I need from a quality pair of gloves. A tapered, long handle is best: balanced and a fine fit to my hand.

OTHER TIPS ! Sharpen your lawn

mower at this time of year.

If you did it in spring, now is an appropriate time to do it again. Grass blades cut with a dull blade can look blunted and produce a brown hew to the appearance of your lawn. ! Gloves. I find that a pigskin glove, with neoprene finger tips are excellent for long wear and flexibility.

Some of the thin-skinned rubber-dipped gloves are great for planting and mucking in the soil as they repel moisture. ! Veggie brush. A small, soft brush is great for cleaning the dirt off your carrots and potatoes and for removing loose dirt from a shovel or hoe, the white ‘salt’ stains that appear on clay pots and to give your finger nails a good scrub before you go in the house. I have one at each of my four rain barrels. ! Aerosol oil. I mentioned you should apply oil to digging tools before use.

Apply to the cutting deck of your power lawn mower to prevent grass buildup.

For the blades of a manu-

Dr. Stephanie Cheng

al, walk-behind mower and while it is in your hand, give the wheels on your garage door a squirt. ! Quality hand tools are always a little more expensive than the disposable lightweights you find at many retailers. It is my experience that a quality tool can make the difference be-

tween a job filled with joy and ‘work.’ In my books, I consider the added investment a good one.

COMMUNITY PAPER SHRED Silver Bullet Shredding & RONA are sponsoring a

NO LOVE FOR THE VIKING

free community event to prevent fraud and identity theft.

When a by-now iconic North Burnaby landmark was unveiled in June 1994, it wasn’t met with universal appreciation. The big, black, bearded North Burnaby Secondary Viking that now gazes stoically towards Kensington Avenue was, in fact, criticized for being both straight-up ugly and for looking like Satan. The imposing 16-foot statue of a Norseman’s head and shoulders took the high school’s shop classes nearly eight years to make. One neighbour complained it would bring down his property value. “It never occurred to us that someone might not enjoy it,” said principal John Mercer, who saw the statue as a symbol of the school’s strength.

AT RONA 7260 EDMONDS STREET, BURNABY from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Residents can dispose of up to four standard banker boxes or 100 lbs of documents by donation.

All proceeds from this SHRED BY DONATION event will support PADS with their mission of training and providing life changing Assistance Dogs PADS volunteers and puppies in training will be on site for the meet and greet.

South’s first family of sports Grant Granger

Sinclair receives Order of Canada

Most parents cringe at the thought of their kids growing up to be rebels. Not in the Glover and Cormack families. It’s almost mandatory they become Rebels.

Burnaby South Rebels, that is. For Calli and Laini Glover it was in their DNA. Some 14 years ago, their father Steve Glover coached South’s boys basketball team that included his nephew Cody Cormack. Glover had played basketball for South graduating in 1978.

Candi Cormack, now his wife, graduated in 1981.While Steve coached, Laini would crawl around a playpen between the stands. Calli played on the gym floor beside her.

“We loved sports, so it’s kind of hard to get away from,” said Candi. “Other people called them our gym rats because I’d drop them off at the practice and go do something and come back and pick them up. All the boys looked after them.”

Last month, Calli was named South’s Grade 12 athlete of the year. Laini took the Grade 9 honours. It continued the family sports lineage at Burnaby South that dates back to Candi’s mother, Mary Cormack, and Steve’s mom Shirley attending the school.

Steve played basketball and track at South graduating in 1978. Although he went to Lakeview Elementary and Edmonds Junior High, he went to South instead of Burnaby Central because of its strong basketball team. (Steve says it still hurts Burnaby South won the provincial high school hoop title in 1979, a year after he graduated and he was already playing for Langara College.)

Candi played on the basketball, volleyball and field hockey teams. Her older brothers, Brent and Randy (Cody’s father, who passed away last year at the age of 62) played on South varsity squads as well.

“My mom (Mary Cormack) has dementia, but she still tells them stories about their high school, and what fundraisers they’d do for the war, and all that stuff,” said Candi, a provincial government occupational nurse.

She and Steve looked for a house better than the South Slope one Candi grew up in, but couldn’t find it. Her father, Larry, one of the founders of the South Burnaby Men’s Club (now South Burnaby Metro Club) was having health problems, so they promised to build a basement suite for him if they bought the house.The deal was done, cementing South’s presence in their family for another generation.

Burnaby’s women’s soccer superstar Christine Sinclair received the Order of Canada from Gov. Gen. David Johnston in a ceremony in Ottawa last week.

Sinclair has led the Canadian women’s team to two Olympic bronze medals and has scored more goals than any other woman except one in international play. She has 168 goals in 2,509 appearances, second only to retired American Abby Wambach’s 184.

“What’s special for me is that this goes beyond soccer,” said Sinclair in a Canada Soccer press release. “I am a very, very proud Canadian, I am proud of where I am from, and to be recognized in this nature is surreal.

“It’s not something you can dream about happening to you … I can dream of winning a World Cup or an Olympic gold medal, and that’s my job, but to have your country recognize you – I don’t even know what to say.”

She was voted Canada’s athlete of the year and female athlete of the year in 2012. In addition, she has received Canada Soccer’s player of the year honours 13 of the 17 years she’s been on the national team.

Sinclair, 34, is a graduate of Burnaby South Secondary who went on to lead the University of Portland to the NCAA title in 2005. She twice won the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy as the nation’s top collegiate women’s soccer player and received the Honda-Broderick Cup as the college woman athlete of the year in 2005.

In addition to her national team duties, Sinclair plays professionally for the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League.

Sinclair and the national women’s team will play their arch rival, the United States, in an international friendly at B.C. Place on Nov. 9.

Glover girls continue family athletic tradition ggranger@burnabynow.com

Family affair: Calli Glover, left, is Burnaby South Grade 12 athlete of the year. Her sister, Laini, right won the Grade 9 award. They follow their family tradition at South where both of their grandmothers attended as did mom Candi and father Steve, who (left) sports a vintage varsity jacket.

ABOVE PHOTO GRANT GRANGER LEFT PHOTO CALLI GLOVER

Although Candi and Steve had their daughters dabble in drama, singing, arts and crafts, and other non-sport activities, it always came back to sports. A lot of sports, often coaching them along the way.

Calli played basketball, volleyball, track and field at South, softball and netball in the community, and was a member of the school’s dragon boat club.

Laini does basketball, volleyball, javelin and cross country at school, and community softball, volleyball and swimming. Both are getting their lifeguard certification. Calli played netball at the B.C.Winter Games. Laini went to the B.C. Summer Games for basketball.

“I like the connection. I don’t know if I’d want to be at a school where my family was anonymous,” said Calli during a family interview with the NOW in Burnaby South athletic director Robbie Puni’s office.

“I think it was tougher on them having their

parents coach them,” said Candi.

“Yes,” emphatically agreed her husband, a teacher at Richmond’s R.C. Palmer secondary.

The kids didn’t argue with their parents on that point.

“You get coached at school and then you get coached at home too,” Calli piped up. “My dad, he’s always coaching. Always.”

When Laini showed up for Grade 8 it just felt right.

“She,” says Laini nodding at Calli, “was so involved in the school that it’s natural coming into the program. It felt right at home.”

Calli has run the school’s Best Buddies Club, which works with students with development disabilities such as Down syndrome and autism during the noon hour on Tuesdays. Now that she’s leaving, Laini’s taking over. Both have made the honour roll every year they’ve been there.

‘Awesome lineage’ Continued from page 22

“I sometimes worry about them being so busy, but they seem to be able to organize themselves,” said Candi, who keeps a weekly spreadsheet of their activities. “I can only go week-by-week.”

“The schedule is unbelievable,” said Steve.

There have been nights Calli would go from basketball practice to volleyball practice to winter softball practice.That type of scheduling meant Candi spent a lot of her weekends cooking big meals and saving the leftovers for eating in the car between weeknight practices or games.

“It’s awesome,” said Puni of family’s school lineage. “To see history right in front of my eyes was cool.”

Puni has been at South for seven years and wants to reconnect the school to its deep 95-year athletic history. His office walls are festooned with school athletic memorabilia from its days as a senior secondary on Kingsway including a 1940-ish cardigan.

“The kids dig the retro stuff,” said Puni. “It’s a historical thing that I think is important.”

Calli plans to take sports science at Douglas College in the fall with the eventual goal of becoming either a sports psychologist or a physiotherapist. Laini isn’t sure what career direction she’ll take, but no matter what both intend to be involved in sports and want to coach.They’ve already working with legendary Burnaby hoop coach Norm Roberts at SBMC. When asked if there was any pressure being at the end of a long line of South athletes, she laughed and said, “Just the pressure to find a house around here.”

Making waves: Bryan Yu of the Burnaby Mountain Mantas en route to winning his heat in the boys 100-metre backstroke Division 7 at the Port Moody Aquarians’ Golden Spike meet last Saturday.

Rizzo spurns Blazers for Vees

Burnaby puck product Massimo Rizzo has opted to return to the Penticton Vees of the B.C. Junior Hockey League despite being wooed by the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League.

The forward was selected by the Kamloops Blazers 14th overall in the WHL’s 2016 bantam draft. According to Kamloops reporter Gregg Drinnan’s Taking Note blog, all 13 players taken before him have joined the WHL team they were picked up.

Drinnan reported Rizzo met with Blazers head coach Don Hay, general manager Stu McGregor, majority own-

The Myrtle Family Band

Gina Loes is recognized for the youthful beckon of her ukulele, heard most often as she sings and performs with the chamber-pop sextet, The Ruffled Feathers. Gina has spent many years developing her technique and soaking up what her local creative community has to offer.

This indie-roots trio has toured extensively in Western Canada and Ontario. Fronted by the vocals of John Hough, “the smoothest baritone west of The Rockies” (Vancouver Province), tap your feet to the warm sound of double bass, acoustic and electric guitar and banjo.

This Vancouver-based folk group features four creative and talented musicians who share a love of Celtic music. From lively jigs and reels, to songs with rousing choruses and heart-wrenching airs and ballads, they bring the music to life with their luscious harmonies and complex instrumentation.

This collaboration of East Vancouver inter-arts performers engage and delight audiences of all ages with their porch stompin’, wash-tub bass bouncing jug-time traditional jazz, their twinkling-tap numbers, and, of course, their unstoppable charm!

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
