Non-profit initiative helps to put free books into the hands of Maywood students Cornelia Naylor

Kids at Maywood Community School got to do the best kind of book shopping this week – the free kind.

On Tuesday, the school got 4,000 books to give out to students, thanks to First Book Canada, a non-profit dedicated to getting books into the hands of low-income kids, and Love Child Organics, a Canadian baby food company that donates some of its profits to First Book.

In an all-day literacy celebration that included readings by Burnaby children’s author Brandee Buble, Maywood students got to end the day by perusing stacks of books and picking five to take home as their very own.

Having access to books at home is important, according to Burnaby school district literacy consultant Tanis Anderson, who organized the day with Maywood teacher-librarian Jenny Sharma.

She says studies show having books at home improves kids’ reading performance and encourages a

SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE: Above, Taylor Park Elementary Grade 7 student Sofia Grujic builds a Vex robot at a day camp put on by the Canada Youth Robotics Club during the school’s professional development day last Friday (Sept. 29). At right, Daveed Vodonenko works on a circuit board to make a light. The two are part of Taylor Park’s robotics, electronics and technology initiatives to help get students involved in learning.

Students gain skills for the 21st century Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Jarrett Petroski was searching for something new to kick start kids in his classroom at Taylor Park Elementary.

He’d been interested in computer coding and discovered some educators were having success with introducing robotics and electronics to students.

He went to his principal at the time, Kevin Brandt, and got the go-ahead.

Taylor Park seemed to be a natural spot for such an endeavour because nearby Byrne Creek Secondary has a robotics program.

So Petroski set up a club in the school and introduced robotics, electronics, 3D printing and computer technology into his Division

1 classroom.

Soon the kids were doing their own computer coding. Parents and staff also jumped on board to provide resources.

Friday was a Pro-D day at Taylor Park so students didn’t have to go to school.

But Petroski’s classroom was overflowing with kids who had signed up for a day camp put on by the Canada Youth Robotics Club.

“They’re so engaged, they’re happy to come to school,” said Petroski. “Give them the basics and they will flourish.They will go off on their own and create.

It’s very rewarding.

“They’re more energetic, more positive.They’re solving problems, they’re doing critical thinking, and for me that’s essential.”

This year, the school

bought electronic circuit boards and robot kits to go along with its 3D printer.

“They’re taking electronics a step further, and where there were just a few people that were doing this a few years ago, now all of our kids are involved,” said principal Hal Wall. “Our oldest three divisions are rotating through coding, graphics and robotics.”

When Grade 7 student Sofia Grujic started building robots in Grade 5 she amazed her parents.

“They didn’t believe me.

I showed them my (work), and they were really surprised,” said a grinning Sofia, who is inspired by her father, a mechanical engineer.

Grade 6 student Daveed Vodonenko’s mother is a programmer and

has been teaching him basic programs since he was in Grade 3. “I really like it. I tried to teach others in Grade 5 but they didn’t grasp the ideas,” said Daveed, who is particularly fascinated with the potential of 3D printers.

I feel like a kid myself, I want to do it with them While the older students turn techie, the younger ones work with more basic materials like wood, cardboard or plastic.

“What happens is they create things together,” said Wall. “They build those social and collaboration skills.

Those are all 21st-century skills.Then, on top of that, the kids love doing this because this is what they want to do.They are creating it.

They are proud of what they accomplish with their friends.

“Their faces are all smiling.You don’t have one child that’s not paying attention.They get along better.That transfers into the other things they are doing because they’ve developed these creative, critical thinking, collaborative skills.

Their reading is better, their writing is better, their math is better.The robotics is a vehicle to develop those kinds of skills.”

To watch it all in action – like the time students flew drones inside while everyone munched on lunch – is a thrill to Wall. It also makes

him a tad jealous.

“I feel like a kid myself, I want to do it with them.

The kids are the ones that have spurred this on because they have such an interest.You can see it in their faces,” said Wall. “We have said, ‘You are going to be leaders. I’m a teacher, I’m a one-off.You are going to help me as a teacher because you’re going to help the other students.You’re going to be a leader because this is your passion.’ ” Taylor Park’s success has been noticed. It’s why the school was chosen in June 2016 for then-Premier Christy Clark to announce $6 million in funding for teacher training and computers so every B.C. student can learn to code by Grade 9.

One more chance to take part in pipeline hearings Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The detailed route hearings for the segment of the Trans Mountain pipeline that will go through Burnaby will begin in January 2018, the National Energy Board announced on Thursday.

The exact dates will be made available after Nov. 14.

From April to July, the

NEB received 452 statements of opposition to the proposed route.

To qualify for a hearing, statements needed to show a direct link between the route and the applicant’s lands and how those lands could be “adversely affected.” Of the 452 statements received, 135 related to the Burnaby segment. Of those 135, 28 were granted a detailed route hearing. Some of the successful applicants

include: City of Burnaby, City of Coquitlam, Solid Rock Holdings Ltd., Lily and Frank Fan, Min Guo and David Huntley.

There’s still another chance to participate in the hearing process, according to the NEB’sWhitney Punchak, a process advisor with the national energy regulator. People can apply either as a commenter or an intervener for each of the detailed route hearings.

“If you’re an intervener, you can ask questions of Trans Mountain or other interveners.You can provide evidence and other interveners and Trans Mountain may ask you about your evidence, and if we have oral final statements, they’ll be able to provide one of those,” said Punchak. “For commenters, you’ll be able to provide a letter of comment expressing your views on the project or providing

evidence.”

Anyone interested in taking part must submit an application by Oct. 31 by 3 p.m. PST. The federal government approved Kinder Morgan’s $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project last November, following the NEB’s recommendation in May 2016 that the project go ahead subject to 157 conditions.

The Edmonton-to-Burn-

aby pipeline faces fierce opposition, especially from cities like Burnaby, First Nations groups and environmental organizations.

A case against Kinder Morgan is currently in the Federal Court of Appeal and is scheduled to wrap up next Thursday (see page 1).

The court could overturn the Governor in Council’s decision as it did with Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project.

4 FRIDAY October 6, 2017 • BurnabyNOW

City now Pipeline case in front of Federal Court of Appeal Continued from page 1 and the various reasons why the tank farm is such a disastrous choice,” Greg McDade, the city’s lawyer, told the NOW. The process by which the national energy regulator approves projects is fundamentally flawed, added McDade.

“What the NEB did with all of that is rather than decide the evidence, they imposed conditions requiring Trans Mountain to file additional evidence six months before construction or operation, but of course by then, the decision is already made.”

The lawsuit could overturn the project. In October 2015, the Federal Court of Appeal decided to quash the federal government’s conditional approval of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project.The court found the federal government’s con-

sultation efforts with First Nations “fell well short of the mark.”

However, McDade said “it’s an uphill battle” when asking the Federal Court of Appeal to overturn a Governor in Council decision.

“That’s not a foregone conclusion.”

The Kinder Morgan hearings will wrap up on Oct. 13.The last day will see the federal government, Alberta and the NEB make their arguments.

The city’s lawyer couldn’t say when the court would have its decision.

“Standard (practice), you’d expect a reserve decision to take two to three months.Whether this will be longer because there’s so much material for the court to sort through or less long because they’ve had so much time to deal with it, I wouldn’t predict.”

Burnaby bike cops took a bite out of street-level drug dealing in the city last month.

Members of Burnaby RCMP’s bike section arrested a 19-year-old Surrey man after responding to a report of a hit-and-run on Glenlyon Parkway on Sept.

20.

The 19-year-old suspect attempted to flee the scene, according to police, but was taken into custody with help from bystanders.

In the course of the investigation, drugs and $3,000 cash were seized.

The suspect was subsequently identified as having been involved in two previous incidents where he had failed to stop for members of the bike section, according to Burnaby RCMP. Believing a vehicle he was driving near Royal Oak Avenue and Victory Street to be associated with the drug trade, bike cops had attempted to pull him over

twice earlier in the month.

“The vehicle failed to stop; however, police investigators were able to identify the driver,” stated a Burnaby RCMP press release.

The Surrey teen now faces a number of drug and motor vehicle charges, as well as charges for possession of property obtained by crime and possession of a prohibited weapon.

“The bike section iden-

tified repeat, prolific offenders and carried out investigations to reduce the criminal activity being committed by these targets in the city of Burnaby,” said Insp. Kathy Hartwig, who oversees the bike section.

“This enforcement action is going to have a very significant effect on the Burnaby crime reduction strategy.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Hey, JT, there’s a new cool dude in town

And just like that, Justin Trudeau got a little older and a little less cool.

Yes, there’s a new kid on the federal political scene – and, at the rate he’s going, he’s threatening to outTrudeau the PM himself when it comes to charm, likeability and social media savvy.

We speak, of course, of Jagmeet Singh, the 38-yearold Ontario politician who won a first-ballot victory to

become the new leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada.

Singh was far from a household name until a racist heckler confronted him at a campaign event in Brampton, Ont. and Singh’s gracious “love and courage” response went viral on social media.

Then, suddenly, the nation was abuzz with chatter about the fashionable dude with the magazine-worthy

suits (GQ has labelled him the “incredibly well-dressed rising star in Canadian politics”) and the fuchsia turban.

Oh, and did we mention that he’s a criminal defence lawyer and does martial arts?

Face it, the guy is cool.

It’s no small feat that this Canadian-born Sikh has managed to reach the top echelons of a political system that has typically been

dominated by establishment types (read: white, middleaged, well-off).

His is one of the fresh faces that Canadian politics needs as we move forward into the 21st century.

Singh – by virtue of his skin colour, his beard and his turban – is a visible signal that Canadians embrace diversity. His leadership represents a real chance for politics to overcome the racism and fear of the “oth-

er” that have become such dominant forces in the United States.

To be sure, Singh is utterly untested on the federal scene, and it remains to be seen whether he can survive as a leader.

Plus, there’s a real danger for the Canadian left that Singh’s appeal will draw from Trudeau’s supporters, leaving the two cool guys to fight it out on one side while the much lower-profile (and

much less cool) Andrew Scheer steers the Conservatives to victory on the other side.

But for the moment, we’ll take Singh’s victory as a sign of positive change.

Of a chance for optimism to win over cynicism. For passion and energy to win over apathy. For love and courage to triumph over hate and fear.

The world needs all of that, now more than ever.

MY VIEW NEIL SWANSON

B.C. NDP plan lacks foresight For the life of me, I can’t figure out why I switched from supporting the NDP to the Liberals a few years ago.The decisiveness, foresight and business acumen the NDP have displayed in the short time they have been in power has convinced me that they are the party to lead us into the future.

Their plan to scrap or delay the replacement of the Massey Tunnel is a fundamentally sound decision.

Any economist, city planner or structural engineer can tell that a mega-project like this will cost significantly less in the future and the longer you wait, the cheaper it gets. And besides, if it does end up costing hundreds of millions more, we won’t have to worry about it, we’ll let our children and grandchildren worry about it. Maybe those people who live south of the river who have to use the tunnel to commute to work should consider one of two options.

Either they find a job in their own community and quit taking jobs away from Vancouverites or purchase a home in Vancouver proper. Right now is the best time to purchase because there are so many affordable homes in the city. For example, a one-bedroom fixer upper townhouse sells for just under a million.With a little creativity, like putting bunk beds in the dining room or converting an unused closet into a baby’s room, a family of four could live comfortably and voila, no more arduous commute through the tunnel!

Scrapping the bridge tolls

was brilliant.The fact that the Coquihalla highway was paid off in one generation was an anomaly. Having the cost of the bridges rolled into the general debt and being paid off in 30 to 40 years makes more sense.

And if a bunch of schmucks living in Northern B.C. complain about paying for a bridge they’ll never use, get over it, either they live with it or move down here and use it!

As for the Site C dam?

It makes sense in so many ways to pull the plug on it.

Sure, it’s already 25 per cent completed and we’ll have to eat the $1.75 billion already spent. As for the Liberals’ claim that the $5 to $6 billion that was to go into the completion of the dam would create jobs for the future? Big deal, what’s thousands of well-paying, long-term jobs going to do for B.C.’s economy?

When we get down to the basic facts, we all know hydroelectricity is one of the most eco-unfriendly ways to generate power.We need to get back to good old fossil fuel power generation. Besides, the need for electricity will diminish dramatically over the next several generations.

According to Bubba Hatfield, an expert in globalization and urbanization, who also teaches remedial English at Spuzzum Community College, the population growth in Greater Vancouver should be zero per cent for the next 15 years with a modest growth in the following decade. And look how global warming is Continued on page 7

It was an unwanted cleaning A 25-year-old North Burnaby resident took umbrage at so-called “squeegee kids” who cleaned her Porsche’s window while she was stopped at the intersection of Lougheed and Boundary in October. In a letter to city council calling for a bylaw against windshield washing at intersections, Anita Senft said squeegee kids had cleaned her vehicle’s window even though she had indicated she didn’t want them to. “To infuriate me even further, when they finished, my window was streaked and looked dirtier than it was before they started,” she wrote. “I had to stop at a gas station shortly after to re-clean my window.”

Opinionnow Do as Homer does in times of crisis, strife Continued from page 6 affecting our winters. Many of us were out on the links in our shorts and T-shirts from mid-October to the end of February.

There’s no doubt that the car manufacturers are just trying to pull the wool over our eyes when they say electric/hybrid vehicles will become mainstream in the near future.

What kind of man would trade the ear drum busting roar of a V8 for the pathetic whirring of an electric car?

I’ve saved the best for last.The first order of business for the NDP was to increase welfare, excuse me, “poverty reduction” payments (I don’t want to sound un-PC).This makes so much sense because it doesn’t take a genius to know that big business, infrastructure projects and entrepreneurialism have nothing to do with stimulating the economy.You have to pump millions into social welfare programs to boost the economy.This is what economists call “inverse voo doo economic rationale” or the “trickle-up effect.” Although doable, most off them will admit that this is much more difficult to achieve. It’s like water. It is much easier to make it trickle down as opposed to trickling up.

I know, what a sarcastic, overcritical pessimist I am. Cut me some slack, I live by the words of the Greek philosopher Homer Spockolopolous, who, when in times of crisis, political upheaval and human strife was quoted as saying “It’s funny because it’s happening to someone else!” or was that Homer Simpson?

WINDOW COVERING EVENT

Clan petition is really meant to do away with ‘instruments of torture’ Dear Editor: To those of us with sensitive ears, it’s really pretty obvious why Simon Fraser University professor Holly Andersen started the petition to ban “The Clan” as the name of its varsity football team.

SFU has a world-famous bagpipe band, and the highly-educated professor realizes that it is debatable if the pipes are a musical instrument or an instrument of torture.

So, to maintain a level playing field in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, it would be most unsportsmanlike and an unfair advantage for the SFU Clan to wear kilts and blow bagpipes under the obligatory Ku Klux Klan robes that the professor apparently assumes to be normal football attire.

City now Singh brings new life to federal NDP, say MPs Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The next federal election in 2019 will be one to watch with Jagmeet Singh now at the helm of the NDP, according to New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian.

Singh claimed victory on Sunday on first ballot with 35,266 votes, or 53.8 per cent. His closest rival, Charlie Angus, came in second with 12,705 votes.

Julian, who entered the leadership race but bowed out after failing to bring in enough donations, endorsed Singh.

“He has really shown the ability to get people very enthusiastic about the NDP and the possibility for change,” said Julian, adding the member of the Ontario legislature managed to sign up nearly 50,000 new members during his campaign.

The MP said he expects a shakeup when Canadians go to the polls in less than two years.

“He is somebody who wants to change the country for the better, coming from the poverty that he experienced as a child. I think it’s really important when we look at some of the issues we are seeing in (Burnaby) and across the Lower Mainland – a housing crisis, an affordability crisis, which means many people are either on the street or in danger of losing their homes, and he understands that.

He understands and wants to make those changes,” Julian said.

“When we contrast it with the federal government, Mr.Trudeau is a nice

guy, but comes from a very wealthy background and doesn’t have that same understanding of what regular families are going through.

Certainly, my sense is here in Ottawa, the Liberals understand that this is a game changer.”

Kennedy Stewart, NDP MP for Burnaby South, who also endorsed Singh, agreed.

He brings energy and a fresh new face

“I am thrilled Jagmeet is our new leader. He brings energy and a fresh new face to our party that puts us in excellent shape to challenge the Liberals and Conservatives in 2019,” he wrote in an email to the NOW. Singh, a former criminal defence lawyer, is the first person of colour to lead a major federal party.The 38-year-old Sikh was born

in Scarborough, Ont., and is the oldest of three kids.

He replaces outgoing leader Thomas Mulcair, who took over the NDP reins in 2012 after Jack Layton’s death.

Singh is without a seat in the House of Commons.

Former federal NDP leaders Alexa McDonough and Layton were both “able to build for major breakthroughs with our party” after being elected, said Julian.

“Neither of them took a seat after they were elected leader.They waited until the subsequent federal election.

“It was wise, I think, from two points of view. First off, it helped Alexa and Jack build the slate of candidates that allowed us to go to the next level.There was a lot of work that needed to be done preparing for the election and talking to Canadians, hearing from people right across the country.

Jagmeet is prepared to do that.”

Learn to unlock the healing power of gratitude DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

My dad was born during the Great Depression in Cumberland, near Courtney and Comox on Vancouver Island. He lost his father in early childhood, and his mother was left with six children to raise on her own. Though she was uneducated, my dad remembers her as being very good with her hands, a skilled chef and seamstress. She managed to make ends meet and raise each of her children to be independent.

My dad worked throughout his childhood to support his family, finished school, studied auto mechanics and worked at Vancouver Motors downtown. He saved enough to go to university. When he talks about his childhood, he never complains about the prejudice he endured or the hardship his family suffered. He talks about wonderful life experiences, his lifelong friends and the kindness of so many people along the way.

He told me of one bachelor in his hometown who, whenever he saw poor children who had worn out or outgrown their shoes, would buy them new ones. I wonder if people so moved by the spirit of generosity realize the power of their acts to inspire gratitude and further acts of kindness for generations to come.

I have heard others who have come from a place of poverty, misfortune, loss and mistreatment tell quite different stories in which they remain victims; they are left with feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger or resentment.

The human brain has evolved to have a negativity bias. The negatives in our environment stand out and are remembered best.

This was important for the survival of our species – to quickly recognize danger and learn from bad experiences. But in modern times, it fosters anxiety, depression and interpersonal resentment.

By actively searching for the positive, through the power of neuroplasticity … you will see the best in others more easily.

My father’s gracious approach to life may be the best fix for our natural negativity bias. Psychologists tell us that in order to balance out our brains’ negativity bias, we have to think of five positive observations to balance out one negative – just to come out even. So the way

out of a bad mood (the natural end result of the negativity bias unchecked) is to actively search for the positive in our lives.

This is especially true in our relationships. If your boss or co-worker has a habit that irritates you to no end (such as leaving his dishes in the sink at the end of the day for someone else to clean up), you may be able to give some constructive feedback and encourage behavioural change – or you might not. If you can’t change the situation and you can’t leave it, you can reframe it. Think of five qualities in the other person that you like or admire.You might feel less irritable and may even work even better together.

Seeking – and expressing – the positive you see in others is even more important at home. As a parent, it’s so easy to tell our kids what they’re doing wrong or what we want them to do. If we don’t balance our words with appropriate praise or appreciation, not only will we feel more negatively towards our kids, but they will see us as the constant complainers that we are.

We will also be reinforcing negative self-talk that our children will carry into their adult lives.

For every negative com-

ment to your child or partner, express five positive qualities that you appreciate. By actively searching for the positive, through the power of neuroplasticity – the ability of the brain to rewire itself by practising new habits of thought – you will see the best in others more easily.You can transform the atmosphere in your home.You will be

happier, and so will everyone else.

When we are thankful, we are happier. When we express thankfulness, those we appreciate are happier.

I raised my own kids to begin and end each day with a prayer of thankfulness for the blessings of life and the gifts of the day. With an attitude of

gratitude, they would begin each day with their cups half full and by day’s end, their cups would overflow.

Communitynow There’s no better time than fall to find your stride running in these cooler temperatures can be exhilarating. And your sleek, healthy body will show you the love and be forever grateful.

What’s it going to take to motivate you to run outdoors for three or four days a week? Simply think about how good you are going to feel afterwards. Getting inside your warm home, making a cup of hot chocolate and enjoying a warm bath afterwards can be a pretty powerful incentive, not to mention a well-earned reward for a job well done.

Running in the fall also marks cross-country season.

It can be a good time to start a running program or improve your strength and your core. Cross-country is fun but challenging while encompassing differ-

RUN WITH IT editorial@burnabynow.com

Fall has arrived, which means getting back to familiar routines many of us deviate from during summer.

The onset of autumn signifies back to school, back to work and, for some, back to an exercise program – or at least the time to set about starting one.

Some will psych themselves out at the very notion of deliberately causing heavy breathing, while sweating profusely, with all of your moving parts begging for mercy. It can therefore be a challenge to get out the door and embark on a new running program.What you may have forgotten is that

ent terrain and sometimes muddy conditions. Also, cross-country racing is less intimidating, inexpensive and a great motivator to get your running back on track.

It’s also a great way to meet people who will always be interested in your story and what makes you tick as a runner.

The fall season is a great time for setting new goals and trying out cross-country or trail running. If you are not sure which events are offered in your area, you can visit your local running store for more information.

Here are my top five tips to get you started: 1. Invest in appropriate fall clothing. Wear reflective gear, headlamp and sweat-wicking clothing.

Keep your head warm by wearing a toque or ball cap.

Also, invest in a pair of trail shoes that offer support if you are going to try crosscountry or trail running.

2. Mix your routes up to keep the sport fresh.

Running a shorter route followed by a longer route, or running on flat terrain followed by a challenging, hilly course is good for your body and your mind.

3. Carry ID with you.

Watch for cars or traffic when crossing streets.

4. It’s a fun time to be social. Meet new friends by participating in some new cross-country races.

5. Stay motivated by running with a friend each week or with a running club in your area. Record

your workouts for later reference.

Some last key points: Stay hydrated even when it’s cold outside. Proper eating habits will pay dividends throughout your life. Don’t forget to stretch all of your muscle groups for at least 30 seconds each afterwards.

Wear sunscreen even when there is no burning sun at this time for total protection

of your skin. Lastly, if it’s too cold, take your stretching indoors.

Fall can be a wonderful time to start running, and, for the seasoned runner, it is about getting your regular healthy dose of mental and physical well-being for goodness’ sake.

The $180,000 plaza, complete with steps, walls, ramps, rails and a deep bowl, opened in September and was quickly covered in colourful graffiti tacitly sanctioned by city hall.

Knights take on top-ranked Ravens

Hope to direct emotion of losing coach to victory Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

It will be a high school football game of import on so many levels tonight (Oct. 6).

The encounter under the lights of Friday night features Burnaby’s St.Thomas More Knights battling the Terry Fox Ravens of Port Coquitlam at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

First of all, it will be a fight for first in B.C. high school football’s AAA Eastern Conference since both teams are 2-0 in conference play, along with Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers.

Second, it is the quintessential battle between an unstoppable force and an immovable object.The Ravens have been rated as the top team in the province since the summer. Only an American team has beaten them. Against Canadian competition, Fox has been unstoppable, scoring 158 points in three games.The Knights have scored 157 points themselves, although it’s come over four games.What’s most impressive, however, is STM has yet to surrender a point.

Its defence has not budged in pitching four shutouts.

And third, in addition to battling the Ravens, the Knights must deal with their emotions after losing their leader, head coach Bernie Kully, to cancer last weekend.The emotional scars on the varsity squad have been raw and visible this week leading up to yesterday’s (Thursday) funeral. Sometimes those powerful feelings can be channeled into high-level performance. In other cases, the emotions are so heavy they cause collapse.

Head coach Steve De Lazzari said the team has dedicated the game to Kully, whose ideas are all over the team’s defensive game plan for Fox.

“We hope we can direct the emotion in a positive way,” said De Lazzari.

The unknown aspect of how the Knights react is a cause for concern for Terry Fox coach Martin McDonnell.

“It’s a little daunting,” said McDonnell about facing an emotional STM squad with its stout defence. “This is going to be a real test for us to see where we’re at.

“We haven’t had too much of a challenge so far this year, but I think it’s coming.

Hopefully the kids will believe us when we tell them it will be a tough one.”

STM’s defence can’t rest against the Ravens. Fox features the dynamic duo of Jaden Savery, who has rushed for 543 yards on 42 carries and has scored nine touchdowns, and quarterback Jevaun Jacobsen, who has 214 rushing yards on 21 carries and has

thrown for 206 yards.

“If 15 (Severy) and 23 (Jacobsen) carry the ball with the speed and the quickness that they have, it’s going to be important for us to play disciplined defence, for our defensive line to keep in their run lanes and to not allow those guys into open field because when they’re in open field they’re difficult to stop. It’s going to take a colossal effort to stop those guys.They’re talented,” said De Lazzari.

However, STM’s defence has been stellar this season for several reasons.

“The physicality of the group, the speed of the group and the football IQ of the group, and when you put those three things in a defence that’s why they execute the way they do,” said DeLazzari, who admits Fox’s defence is as strong as his.

“Oh yeah, they’re ranked No. 1 for a reason. I wouldn’t say it was a mirror image, but it looks like they’ve got some pretty fast, athletic guys on both sides of the ball.

They’re well coached, a very well-coached football team.They always have been.

They’re very disciplined, so it’s going to be a challenge, that’s for sure.”

However, the Ravens D will have its hands full dealing with Knights running back Tyler Eckert. He has rushed 48 times for 765 yards (15.9 per carry), scoring 11 touchdowns. Five of those came last week in a 57-0 romp over Coquitlam’s Centennial Centaurs at Percy Perry. Eckert only carried the ball 10 times but finished with 284 yards. His first touch resulted in a 75-yard touchdown. He would go on to rush for TDs of 80, two, 22 and 18 yards.

“He was at a different level the other night,” said De Lazzari, whose squad moved to No. 5 in the rankings with the win.

Eckert is definitely on the Ravens radar.

“He’s going to be a load on offence. He’s just running over people. He’s just a big, strong kid that’s breaking tackles. He’s difficult to bring down,” said McDonnell.

Eckert also plays linebacker on defence.

Against Centennial last Friday, he collected two sacks and five tackles. Nose tackle Sam Steele picked up a pair of sacks while making nine tackles. Colin Dalla Vecchio registered seven tackles and three sacks.

Quarterback Dario Ciccone threw a 14yard TD toss to Taylor Dal Monte while Joel Pielak and Julian Valerio had rushing touchdowns.

“They just consistently work hard through the game.They’re really fit guys.

They all look like athletes, not just footballspecific players,” said McDonnell of STM. “We have some ideas, we definitely have schemed a bit.”

He also said the Ravens plan to hold a minute of silence for Kully before the game.

Te lends helping hand to Clan Freshman Bianca Te of Burnaby, a graduate of St. Thomas More Collegiate, had five digs and an assist in both matches as Simon Fraser University’s women’s volleyball team racked up a pair of wins last week.

On Saturday afternoon at SFU, the Clan downed Concordia University Cavaliers from Portland 20-25, 25-14, 25-21, 2523 to even their Great Northwest Athletic Conference record to 3-3.

SFU is 6-8 overall.

Last Thursday on Burnaby Mountain, the Clan defeated Western Oregon Wolves (Monmouth) in similar fashion winning 22-25, 25-22, 25-17, 25-16. Mia Ricci of Burnaby, who graduated from Notre Dame Secondary, had six digs in the match.

This week the Clan are off to Alaska to play the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves on Thursday (after NOW deadlines) and University of Alaska Nanooks in Fairbanks on Saturday. ! Midfielder Christina Dickson, a Burnaby North graduate, scored a pair of goals, her second and third of the season, in the SFU women’s soccer squad’s 5-0 victory over Saint Martin’s University in Lacey,Washington last Thursday. Dickson scored in the 14th and 85th minutes of the match. Emma Pringle

also scored twice.

Dickson’s sister Allyson, who, like Christina, is a junior, is a defender for Simon Fraser.

The Clan followed that win up with a 3-0 victory over the Northwest Nazarene Crusaders from Nampa, Idaho at SFU’s Terry Fox Field on Saturday.The two triumphs gave the Clan a 5-4-0 overall record and 3-2-0 in GNAC. They are on the road this week, playing the Montana State Billings Yellowjackets on Thursday and Concordia Cavaliers in Portland on Saturday. ! The men’s soccer squad saw its sixgame unbeaten streak snapped with a 3-2 loss at Concordia last Thursday.They then came home and played to a scoreless draw with Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros in a non-conference game.

Simon Fraser is 5-1-2 overall and 1-1-1 in conference play heading into this week’s games at Fox Field against the Crusaders (Thursday) and theYellowjackets on Saturday (7 p.m.). ! SFU’s football team will be looking for its first win earlier in the afternoon on the same turf (1 p.m.) when the Clan play Western Oregon (1-3 overall, 0-2 conference).

Simon Fraser fell to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in GNAC with a 62-0 defeat at the hands of the Central Washington Wildcats in Ellensburg last Saturday.

Burnaby kids lead Steelers

The Grandview Steelers were on a threegame win streak after scoring a pair of Pacific Junior B Hockey League victories last week.

At the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday, the Steelers got 26 saves from Burnaby’s Cale Dolan to down the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 3-1.

Ethan Reilly of Burnaby scored his second goal of the game midway through the third period to put the Steelers ahead.They iced it with Jeffrey Wong scoring into an

empty net with four seconds remaining.

The night before in Port Moody, the Steelers defeated the Panthers 6-1 thanks to a goal and three assists from Nico Bruno of Burnaby. Other Grandview goal scorers were Cameron Luk, Burnaby’s Ian Prevost, Mateo Coltellaro and Wong.

The Steelers were 4-3-0-1 heading into Thursday’s game in Surrey (after NOW deadlines) against the winless Knights.They will play host to the Mission Roadrunners (3-5-0-0) Sunday (7:15 p.m.) at BWC.
