GOVERNMENT APOLOGIZES FOR LGBTQ DISCRIMINATION

‘It was incredibly moving and powerful’

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When Svend Robinson, Canada’s first openly gay member of parliament, was in his first term as MP of Burnaby, he was approached by a Burnaby mom concerned about her son.

Her husband was a major in the Canadian Armed Forces and her son, an air cadet, had dreams of becoming a military pilot, but she had heard Robinson speak about

discrimination against gays and lesbians in the military.

“I remember it so vividly,” Robinson said.

“She said, ‘My son would love to be a pilot in the military but he’s homosexual, he’s gay.What can we do?’ And I had to tell her, ‘Look, I’m sorry.This is the way it is right now.’”

From the 1950s to the early 1990s, the Canadian government not only discriminated against gays and lesbians in the military and public service, it rooted them out in or-

der to fire them.

The rationale was that non-heterosexuals were at a greater risk of blackmail by Canada’s enemies because of what was then called “character weakness.”

“This thinking was prejudiced and flawed. And sadly, what resulted was nothing short of a witch-hunt,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in an official apology in the House of Commons Tuesday.

Robinson was in Ottawa for the apology and called it “truly a historic day.”

About 60 victims of the decades-long so-called “gay purge” watched the apology from the gallery, he said.

“For them to hear from their Prime Minister, and not just from their Prime Minister, but the leaders of all the parties, ‘we’re sorry, it was wrong’ and – just as importantly – never again, it was incredibly moving and powerful,” Robinson said.

KICKED OUT FOR BEING GAY

It is deeply personal for former navy member ‘I don’t think people can understand unless they lived through it ... the feeling of being worthless ... a degenerate’

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When 17-year-old Vance McFadyen’s three-year term with the Royal Canadian Navy was cut short after 11 months by a medical discharge in 1960, there was nothing wrong with him medically.

The lie he told family and friends was that he’d been let go

because of acute sea-sickness.

The truth was he’d been discharged because he was gay.

During his first shore leave in Bermuda he had gone out partying with another sailor and was invited to the home of a 30-something hotel manager.

“I fell in love, I thought,” he told the Burnaby NOW. “I thought I was going to live in Bermuda for the rest of my life. I was a very in-

secure, immature 17-year-old, so I stayed AWOL for two-and-a-half days until he was tired of me and I had to go back to the ship.”

Upon his return, he was shunned, given the silent treatment by the entire crew, he said.

He was charged with being AWOL and, after breaking down and admitting to his duty officer that he was gay, he was sent home on the next ship back to Halifax –

isolated in the sick bay for the duration of the trip.

Two days after his arrival, he was taken by himself to a large gymnasium, seated on a chair and interrogated by four officers.

“They started grilling me, asking me questions,” McFadyen said. “The first question they asked was what role I played. I remember that very distinctly. I didn’t know what they were talk-

ing about; I was too naïve. I said, ‘What do you mean, what role did I play?’They said, ‘Well, did you get buggered?’”

Shortly after the ordeal, McFadyen was given an honourable discharge for medical reasons.

“I had no choice. I was out,” he said.

“It screwed up my life pretty bad for the next 10, 12 years.

Four people arrested in Burnaby home invasion Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Four people were arrested after a 51-year-old man was assaulted, tied up and robbed during a home invasion in the Metrotown area Wednesday morning.

Burnaby RCMP were called to the 4600 block of Bond Street at about 10 a.m. after getting a report of a home invasion in progress.

One occupant of the resi-

dence had been able to escape and call police, but another, a 51-year-old man, had been assaulted, tied up and robbed, according to a Burnaby RCMP press release.

The man suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital.

Four males were arrested within minutes of attempting to flee the scene, according to police.

“The quick response by

Burnaby officers to this violent incident ensured that the suspects posed no further danger to the 51-yearold victim or to the general public,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar said in the release.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Does an apology make the pain go away?

Does an apology make the pain go away? Short answer: No. But an apology combined with solid plans to fund reparations for those harmed by discriminatory government actions, does go a long way to healing some very deep wounds.

This week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke for the Canadian government and other political

leaders when he apologized to LGBTQ folks for decades of criminalizing gay people and denying them basic human rights.

Our own former MP, Svend Robinson, played an instrumental role in not only making sure that an apology was crafted, but also that the historical record is to be corrected and current and future generations will have an opportu-

nity to learn the real story.

Robinson said: “There has to be funding (for reparations) – and this has been agreed – for research and for awareness, because most Canadians have no idea that this happened.They remember Pierre Trudeau almost 50 years ago saying, ‘The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation,’ but they have no idea that for 30 years after that peo-

ple were being discriminated against, persecuted, in some cases taking their own lives, criminalized.”

It is sometimes hard for those who grew up in the last 30 years to grasp that homosexuality was illegal, and gay men and lesbians were jailed for simply loving someone, that “coming out” often meant losing one’s children and that gay folk had to hide in fake

marriages to keep their jobs.

But it would be foolish to think everything is wrapped up in a pretty rainbow flag now that an apology has been made.

Statistics Canada data released this week for 2016 show a 29 per cent increase in hate crimes. A large portion of that increase was for crimes targeting LGBTQ people. And those crimes were more violent than hate

crimes against other groups.

Progress is often accompanied by backlashes. Robinson’s own history as the first MP to come out as gay is sad proof of that. However, love combined with persistence and a deep sense of fighting for what is fair and just is a powerful antidote to hate.

Thank you, Svend, for never abandoning the fight no matter what the cost.

MY VIEW DARYL STURDY

Fearmongering over electoral change is wrong Re: Is it time for the rise of the far right?, column by Keith Baldrey, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 29.

Mr. Baldrey is being either naive or disingenuous on so many fronts it’s impossible in this limited space to deal with all of them.

He seems intent on using shady arguments to undermine electoral reform and to sow doubt in the minds of his readers and in supporters of electoral reform.

Bill Tieleman and group used the same fear mongering strategy to undermine

He seems intent on using shady arguments the two previous referendums, supposedly for the good of the NDP’s future prospects..

Mr. Baldrey talks about the “glory days” under premiers Dave Barrett, Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark and the progressive policies they were able to pursue (with less than 50 per cent voter support). He seems to think that future NDP governments won’t be able, under proportional representation, to pursue such aggressive policies because, with a coalition with another party they’ll be restricted.

Well, perhaps that’s not a bad idea: balanced legislation, reflecting the wishes of 60 per cent of the voters, rather than what we have now, with 40 per cent of the

tail wagging the dog.

It seems it’s all about procuring power, whether by the old-line NDP represented by Tieleman or the B.C. Liberals represented by all the leadership candidates.

They may have to wait for 16 years, as the NDP did, or four or eight-plus years in the case of the Liberals, but power is intoxicating, and these people will wait rather than share power in a more fair, equitable, democratic way.

Fearmongering really comes to the fore when Mr. Baldrey brings in the spectre of “the fringe right.”

Scary stuff if you buy into a repeat of the injustices of the past. Scary stuff until you look at the votes garnered by the several fringe parties and candidates. A pittance. And is our democracy so fragile that it can’t stand up to some people’s different views?When we insist that voters with views different from those of the mainstream parties must all live in one or two ridings in order to elect someone to represent those views, we are being unfair.We are showing we haven’t learned from the not-too-distant past when women, First Nations, Japanese, Chinese etc. had to struggle to get the right to vote.

Is it fair that the Green party, hardly “fringe right,” should only get three per cent of the seats with 17 per cent of the popular vote?

It seems that Baldrey and Tieleman think so.

Daryl Sturdy is aVancouver resident.

A house for $100?Yes, please A Burnaby man shelled out a mere $100 for a deluxe home in Surrey in June. No, it wasn’t a distress sale, and the house wasn’t a dump. In fact, the Boundary Park home was valued at a whopping $200,000. MelvynYochlowitz won it in a Kinsmen fundraising raffle.The 46-year-old bachelor had purchased one of the 700 $100 tickets sold by the Kinsmen. “I figured if I win, great; if I don’t win, it’s for charity,” he said. He was happy to win but said he would probably end up selling the place and staying in Burnaby. “It’s too far out for me,” he said.

Opinionnow Pipeline protesters are in a privileged position Dear Editor: Re: Burnaby resident calls KM gift ‘a joke,’ Burnaby NOW, Nov. 29. I was taken aback about a sentence in the article which said “pointing to the fierce opposition by the city” to KM. But who is the city. I am and so many others who don’t think “fierce opposition.”

Who supports it? None that I know in the communities I live in. But the article makes it seem that the vast majority of Burnaby residents are passionately opposed to the pipeline. That’s so opposed to the truth. Where are the visible minorities, where are those who work minimum wage jobs, those who dream of someday making a life for their families with economic opportunities in the city that the pipeline protesters obviously don’t need. Where are the voices of workers who, for example, work in the Burnaby malls? Where are those voices who don’t agree to the opposition to KM as they don’t have the time, funds or organization to protest?

So who opposes the pipeline? Those whose voices are so often repeated in your newspaper in every recent issue as if in Burnaby this is the most critical issue the city faces, more so than affordability, or poverty, or homelessness?

They are either residents owning single-family homes near the inlet or privileged members of society who don’t have to work paycheque to paycheque, or SFU students and their well-paid professors, who have the time and the economic privilege to spend their time “protesting.” And I wanted to hold this back, but it is obvious,

MP Peter Julian that, most of them are privileged Caucasians.

Do you see anyone from the Metrotown area?

Or Chinese-Canadians or Indo-Canadians? Or Filipino-Canadians? What about their issues in Burnaby? You may have a few members from these communities protesting, but it is dominated by the privileged amongst the Caucasian population, North Burnaby residents or SFU students who don’t have to worry about living expenses.

Andrew Weaver, the Green party leader and professor, said recently that the Liberals are digging their grave by approving and pushing Kinder Morgan because they are doing so in a major urban area that is so united in opposition to the Kinder Morgan. I cannot wait for the next federal election. That’s another example of elitist thought processes, so far from the truth and reality. The silent majority, I hope, has had enough of that. Weaver’s statement is so reflective of a vocal and privileged minority, not understanding where the majority of folks from Metro Vancouver come from. I am sure he will be proved wrong in the next election as most working Burnaby residents don’t think the way this privileged class thinks and votes. He will always have a high-paying job, even if he loses the next election.

Please give a fair, balanced view of the issue, instead of the wall-to-wall covering of the privileged, elitist and minority view of their opposition to the KM pipeline. In case you are wondering if I have an axe to grind, I am retired, and I am just incensed at the continuous biased coverage of this issue.

“You are professionals.

“It tells me that not only society but the government has recognized the injustices done,” McFadyen said.

McFadyen didn’t start coming to terms with his sexuality and turn his life around until he was 33 years old, after six weeks of intense group therapy at UBC in 1973.

“Once I got my confidence back, then I realized I did have things to contribute to society and to my communities,” he said. “I felt brave enough to be out and to be myself and to get involved.”

McFadyen, who lived in New West from 1961 until moving to Vancouver Island in June, became a wellknown public figure there for his community involvement, which included running for city council and the mayor’s seat as well as sitting on numerous boards and civic committees.

Current New West Pride president and Burnaby resident Mike Tiney, who recently moved to Burnaby, said he had mixed feelings about the federal government’s apology, especial-

ly given the experiences of people like McFadyen.

“For the government to stand up and make note of that is a huge step in the

right direction, but for the families that have been affected by what happened from the ’50s to the ’90s, I don’t know how anything

can make it better and give back the dignity to those people,” he said.

Creating Beautiful Smiles

Housing advocates pleased with new federal strategy Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

For the first time in a long time, housing advocates in the city are optimistic about tackling homelessness.

Karen O’Shannacery, president of the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby, applauded the federal Liberals’ $40-billion national housing strategy announced last week, and called it “an incredible opportunity for Burnaby.”

The decade-long plan has a number of targets, including building 100,000 new housing units and repairing another 300,000.The government also wants to reduce homelessness by 50 per cent over the next 10 years.

“I believe that the federal government has done a really excellent job of trying to figure out how to very effectively meet their targets,” said O’Shannacery, who also served on Canada’s advisory committee on homelessness. “It’s very smart, the

approach.”

According to the 2017 homeless count, Burnaby saw a 19 per cent jump in its homeless population over 2014. Sixty-nine homeless people were counted on March 8, up from 58.

“We are more optimistic now than we ever have been that all levels of government will work together toward addressing homelessness, both preventing homelessness as well as ending homelessness for people who are on the streets.

“The number 1 thing, and it’s been proven by the housing-first model, is if you provide people with homes and then whatever level of support they require, they stay housed and their health improves,” she said.

The feds will invest $2.2 billion over 10 years as part of an expanded federal homelessness program, which will launch April 1, 2019.

“What we were looking for was sustainability,” O’Shannacery said of the

overall plan. “We want to make sure that we never get into this situation again, that the commitment is there.”

The Liberals will also introduce new legislation that will require the federal government to maintain a national housing strategy. Adequate housing will be a human right.

“Canada was the only nation that did not have legislation to protect people around the right to housing.

It’s very important and important messaging that regardless of who is in power, we are always going to be able to rely on the government to take care of the people who are the most vulnerable amongst us,” she added.

The society has expressed interest in taking advantage of the B.C. NDP’s promise to build 2,000 modular units for people who are homeless. O’Shannacery told the NOW the society is liaising with the City of Burnaby about potential sites.

Top 10 ways to get into the Christmas spirit Burnaby is full of holiday cheer - here are our picks for the top things you should do in the city this season Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer – and listmaking and organizing and baking and shopping and planning and stress and headaches …

If you need to take some time to step away from the hustle and bustle and get yourself into the holiday spirit, never fear.There is an array of Christmassy events to choose from in the city, and we’ve rounded up our top 10 favourites to get you started.

Here are our picks for 10 Things To GetYou Into the Holiday Spirit in Burnaby: 1. STEP BACK INTO THE PAST AT BURNABY VILLAGE Honestly, it’s not Christmas in Burnaby until you’ve headed over to Burnaby Village to enjoy Christmas the old-fashioned way. Heritage Christmas opened Nov. 25 and continues through to Jan. 5.

Of particular note this year is the Bright in Burnaby event on Saturday, Dec. 2 that officially launches the season, with a tree-lighting ceremony at 6 p.m.

Visitors can enjoy new light displays and decorations around the village, as well as the usual jam-packed schedule of holiday fun: visits with Father Christmas, roving and onstage entertainers, baking at the Love Farmhouse, kids’ crafts and activities, a 12 Days of Christmas scavenger hunt, rides on the carousel and much more. Forte Theatre Society’s new Christmas play, Toy of theYear, is also on weekends at Brookfield Hall.

From now until Dec. 15, the village is open 1 to 5:30 p.m. weekdays, and 1 to 9

p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. From Dec. 16 to Jan. 5, it’s open daily from 1 to 9 p.m. (closed Dec. 24 and 25).

The whole thing is free, with a small fee ($2.65) only for carousel rides.

Burnaby Village is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. See www. burnabyvillagemuseum.ca or call 604-297-4565 for information.

2. EXPERIENCE THE NUTCRACKER How can it be Christmas without the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy?You can enjoy Tchaikovsky’s classic Nutcracker, brought to life by the 100-plus young dancers who make up the Royal CityYouth Ballet production.

The production, under the artistic direction of Camilla Fishwick-Kellogg, is always a large and colourful occasion, featuring sumptuous sets by Jean-Claude Olivier and extravagant costumes by Chris Sinosich.

It’s on Friday, Dec. 1 at the Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby. And, should you miss the local show, it’s on tour until Dec. 23, when it winds up its run with two shows at New Westminster’s Massey Theatre. See www. royalcityyouthballet.org for all the details.

3. ENJOY THE OPERA AND THE SYMPHONY Soak in some of the best classical music of the season with Burnaby Lyric Opera and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PAST If you’re planning to check out Heritage Christmas, this would be the weekend to do it.

The show features metal robot sculptures by Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk and digital artwork by Nancie T. Green.

A new master planned community in Langley is about to take shape.

Welcome to Township Commons, a distinctive collection of 211 homes comprising of one to four-bedroom homes, presenting a mix of 120 low-rise condominiums, 13 three level city homes and 78 townhomes.

“The community will also have retail and office components in the five-storey condominium building,” says Margot Jay, Licensed Realtor Fifth Avenue. “In addition, residents will have access to the Townhall Clubhouse, which will be equipped with a fitness centre, flex space, an entertainment lounge with kitchen facilities, meeting room, plus an outdoor play area.”

Each of the homes will be thoughtfully designed in a warm contemporary style, with laminate hardwood flooring throughout main floors, quartz countertops, soaker tubs in the master ensuites and many other features, which must be seen to be appreciated.

All open concept galley style kitchens will feature quality finishes throughout, including stainless steel appliance packages, pantries in the condominiums, while townhomes will boast 11’ islands.

Over the years, people have been moving into Langley for its combination of urban sophistication and its rural, idyllic countryside. They’ve also been drawn to Langley’s lower housing costs, which on average are 57 per cent less than Vancouver’s.

This community is fast becoming known as one of the most exciting regions in the city, and Langley Township is perfectly positioned to take advantage of everything it has to offer, including a range of amenities.

Township Commons is right in the centre of it all - adjacent to public walking path, with Langley Townhall, RCMP, and Library just across the street.

Everything you need is within easy access, including Willowbrook Mall, the Farmers Market and Langley Meadows Park. In addition, you are close by to amenities such as the Langley Events Centre and several schools, including Willoughby Elementary, Yorkson Creek Middle School and R. E. Mountain Secondary School, boasting the sought after IB program.

Within a short drive, you have the best that rural living offers – pastoral landscapes and roadside farm stands.

Township Commons also features a great location that is close to historic landmarks in addition to pristine forests.

There are also several golf courses and two universities -Trinity Western and Kwantlen Polytechnic nearby.

Meanwhile, getting in and out of Langley is now easier than ever with quick access to Highway 1 and the Carvolth Exchange, Langley’s new park and ride (providing quick, convenient sky train access), and a new speedy route into Walnut Grove via the 202 Street underpass.

Kingdom Canada Developments’ master-planned approach to the neighbourhood not only makes Township Commons an incomparable project, but one that will be a nice addition in the cityscape.

Township Commons’ attractive pricing will surely attract young families, empty nesters and those who love the combination of urban living with the charm of Langley’s rural landscape. Prices anticipated to range from: Condominiums from $330,000’s to the $640,000s; City homes from $690,000’s to $720,000’s; and townhomes starting from $590,000’s to $870,000’s.

For your opportunity to pre-register as a VIP before December 1st, call 604-539-7750, email info@townshipcommons.com or visit townshipcommons.com.

Occupancy is anticipated to begin as early as October 2019.

Grandview keeps on winning November was very good for the Steelers, as they go 8-0-1

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

If the Grandview Steelers are going to give first-place Delta a run for their money, they need to keep on doing what they’ve done over the past month.

The Pacific Junior B Hockey League club closed out the November schedule on Wednesday with a 3-1 victory over the Port Moody Panthers.

Emerson Kostner’s goal 2:08 into the third period proved to be the winner, as Grandview erased a 1-0 deficit with a steady offensive push that saw the visitors outshoot the Panthers 38-23.

It also gave the Steelers an 8-01 record for November, after having limped into the month on a four-game losing skid.

“The kids are finally understanding what (head coach Stevan Matic) is looking for and the system he’s getting them to play. It’s all coming together, but it required some patience,” noted Steelers general manager Aldo Bruno.

The current streak, while aided by a lot of under-.500 opponents on the schedule, is a sure sign the squad is gelling after a sometimes turbulent learning curve over the first two months of the season.

Bruno says one of the keys has been the steady play of netminder Cale Dolan, who has carried the ball in 17 of the squad’s 26 games and owns the third-best goals against average, at 2.22 per game. “(Dolan) is one of the top goalies in the league, and when he came back fromYorkton it didn’t take long for him to regain his confidence and show that he’s a key player for us,” noted Bruno.

He sits tied with a league-leading 12 wins.

Backup Matteo Petrelli has gained from Dolan’s presence, settling into his first junior season. He was between the posts Wednesday, turning aside 22 shots. Brodie Crawford and Mario Sever also scored for the Steelers.

Another element that has contributed to a strong month – after the team posted a mediocre 5-4 record in October – is the contributions of forwards Brodie Crawford and Connor Alderson, who came over in separate October swaps.

Crawford has eight goals and nine assists over 12 games since coming over in a trade with Richmond.

Alderson has tallied six goals and nine assists over 15 games.

Both of them contributed in Sunday’s 3-1 decision over conference rival North Vancouver.

The Steelers, who are now unbeaten in eight games, host Langley, 7:15 p.m. on Sunday.

Another banner for the wall: Burnaby Mountain Secondary’s senior boys’ cross country team produced a top-10 finish in the team category at the high school championships last month.

Lions find success with running pack

Burnaby Mountain earns top-10 result at provincial with group effort

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

At the end of a race there is always relief.

A banner is a bonus.

The Burnaby Mountain Secondary senior boys cross country team got both of those during last month’s provincial championships in Vancouver.

Cracking the top-10 among teams – finishing in ninth, just 10 points back of seventh – was an impressive result for a Lions squad that features three Grade 12s, two Grade 11s and one each from Grade 9 and 10.

Where each team’s top-four athletes account for the points, an interesting twist is how the two youngest runners contributed to the final tally.

In a field of nearly 240 runners from more than 30 high schools, ninth could be considered a starting point for next year.

“I like the competition, the idea of getting faster and getting more competitive,” remarked Kosta Adzic, a Grade 10 athlete who posted the team’s secondbest time (26:06) on the 6.9-kilometre course at Jericho Beach. “I do a lot of soccer and (I’m) kind of crazy about it and compete at the highest level, so I do a lot of cross training.

“They’re a nice group of

guys, and I feel welcome around them.”

The team’s top finisher, Grade 12 Alex Romero, ended up just missing the top-15 line, placing 18th with a district-best time of 24:21 and the desire to have climbed higher.

“Honestly I personally think I could have done better,” said Romero, who trains with the Royal City Track and Field Club.

“We had club provincials the week before and I got a better place than I did at high schools.

I guess it was just an off-day for me.

“This year it was like 240 kids at the high schools, and at club it was like 60 top runners. It’s just like trying to weave between people, an obstacle (course).”

Burnaby Mountain athletic director and coach Larry Ryan said Romero’s dedication to running has spread through the team and been the kind of leadership that gets everyone working harder.

“Each of the boys have their own running goals and they support each other to try and achieve them in training. … Alex has definitely set the standard for our school, and these boys coming up behind him want to match or beat that,” noted Ryan.

Adzic performed well despite coming to the meet sick.

“Kosta came to race feeling

quite ill but he is a true competitor with a lot of grit,” said Ryan.

“He knew that he was going (to) hurt even more than normal but he would never have considered not running.”

The team – Kenneth Doolan, Mark Fukusaku, Anthony Perera, Rezo Pkhakadze, Ryan Roberts, Adzic and Romero – had shown over the local meets the kind of potential they had, including a result where the top five finishers

I like the competition, the idea of getting faster and getting more competitive.

were all Lions.

Getting inside that top-10 at the provincials was where the team element really shone, Ryan said.

“All year I stressed to the runners the importance of the team members that don’t finish in the top four for our team,” he said.

“They can’t let up thinking that they don’t matter, because they still have the ability to displace other teams’ scoring runners.

That is exactly what happened at the provincials.”

In the end, Romero (18th), Adzic (60th), Roberts (93rd) and Perera (143rd) counted directly to the school’s final tally, which officially tied them with Holy Cross in overall standings. It was the results of Fukusaku (156th), Doolan (198th) and Pkhakadze (205th) that served as the tiebreaker.

Doolan noted that while his placing wasn’t an improvement on last year, he did cut five minutes off that 2016 time.

“In the preparation of this cross country season I started to take it more seriously. I went on longer runs, around an hour or two, every week. I knew I was in better shape and I knew I’d do better this year,” said Doolan.

Adzic, who plays for Coquitlam Metro-Ford of the EA Sports Soccer Premier League, said running is a perfect complement for his other sports passion.

“Mentally, I think it’s very similar.When I run, I play hungry. I hate coming in last. I like the idea of doing better and better and I feel playing soccer and running allows me to do both,” he said.

“With these guys I feel motivated to always do better.They are very competitive.”

Rough fourth costly to SFU

SFU women unable to matchWesternWashington’s fourth quarter There was some good and some bad to come out of Tuesday’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference season opener for the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team.

Although they lost 74-60 to rival Western Washington University, the Burnaby Mountain-based team played well for two quarters, erasing a 10-point deficit after the first quarter before the floor dropped out in the fourth.

They trailed by one point after three quarters, but from there on Western Washington out-scored the Clan 25-12 to pull out the win.

The Vikings went 7-of-11 from the field and out-rebounded the Clan 13-4 in the period. Simon Fraser shot just 4-of-16 in the fourth quarter.

Tayla Jackson led the way with 15 points – one of four SFU players to reach double-figures. Freshman guard Kendal Sands had 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including 2-for2 on threes, sophomore guard Tia Tsang had 13 points, going 3-of-6 on threes, while junior forward Sophie Swant chipped in 10 points.

SFU put up average numbers from long range, going five-for-18 on three pointers and 18-of-52

from the field. It came nearly a week after SFU set a GNAC record with 18 threes and shooting 51.4 per cent from beyond the arc.

They were also out-rebounded 47-18 in the game, although the Clan forced 23 turnovers.

Simon Fraser remains on the road this weekend, playing Montana State University Billings on Saturday.

PRINGLE, BAXTER SELECTED They may need to add another shelf to the trophy case.

Honours keep pouring in for Simon Fraser University women’s soccer players Emma Pringle and Jenna-lee Baxter, who this week were chosen to NCAA Division 2 United Soccer Coaches All-West Region Teams.

Pringle was named to the AllWest Region second team while Baxter was a third team selection.

It is the first time in the NCAA-era that student-athletes from SFU’s women’s soccer program have been honoured by NCAA coaches.

There are 257 women’s soccer programs in NCAA Division 2 and 4,000 players competing.

Earlier this month, Pringle and Baxter were named to the Con-

ference Commissioners Association All-West Region First Team, a first in program history. Both were also named to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference First Team.

Pringle tied for the GNAC lead with 14 goals, which ranks 30th in NCAA, and has 23 goals in 32 career games.

Baxter appeared in 16 games and recorded 13 assists. She led NCAA in assists per game (0.81) and was third in total assists.

SFU STALLS IN SAN DIEGO Simon Fraser University men’s basketball suffered a 79-55 setback to Point Loma University last week in San Diego, Calif.

Senior forward JJ Pankratz injured his ankle the previous game and did not play. Sophomore guard Othniel Spence moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season and responded with a teamhigh 20 points, hitting eight-of-15 from the field, including four-ofseven on threes.

But it wasn’t enough.

Senior guard Kedar Salam scored 16 points on six-of-16 shooting while Iziah ShermanNewsome also reached double figures scoring with 10 points.

CARTWRIGHT, Thomas Agnew October 15, 1926 to November 22, 2017 Tom was born 91 years ago, in London, England to a family that valued music, art, history, and eccentricities while maintaining their strong British values.

He was sent to Canada in 1940 to get him away from the relentless bombing of London in WW2, which had of course fascinated him and propelled him to the roof tops to watch. He boarded with cousins in Cultus Lake and started high school in Chilliwack, where he met the love of his life, Joanne Ferguson.

He graduated as the valedictorian and attended UBC briefly before enlisting in the RAF. He was posted to India and had a LOT of stories about his years there, where he became fluent in Urdu. Tom and Joanne were not to be separated by the war, or by continents, and they married in England in 1950, and set sail back to Canada.

In Canada Tom worked at a variety of jobs, including varnish maker, potato chip maker, burger flipper, and real estate agent, all while attending UBC, to become a teacher. He finished his BA degree and his Masters Degree over the years, part time. He mainly taught Grade 6 - at Marlborough, Seaforth, and Clinton Elementary Schools. He was a popular and inspirational teacher. He retired after 30 years of teaching, at age 60. He and Joanne built their ocean front home on Salt Spring Island, with a stunning view that each of them loved and looked at until the day they died.

Tom and Joanne spent their retirement years on Salt Spring, enjoying the unique and charming Salt Spring culture, volunteering at the library, and participating in the Trail and Nature Club. They supported environmental causes and the arts.

They were extreme conservationists, so that any visitors had to be immediately instructed on toilet flushing (not so much), garbage disposal (there was to be no garbage) and water use (as little as possible). Tom also practiced his hobby of food price comparisons and always watched for sales. As a result he had a huge reserve of canned and frozen foods.

Tom was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and teacher. He was a philanthropist: ever frugal when spending on himself, he donated generously to environmental, animal welfare, and health related causes. He was a world traveler, and life-long learner of other languages. He and Joanne took up skiing in their 40s and he reluctantly gave it up at age 86. He liked to ski fast and drive fast, and we are so grateful he went peacefully as a result of heart failure and not in a horrible multi-vehicle accident, as many had predicted.

He could fix anything, and given the basement full of everything they had ever owned, he had an inexhaustible supply of spare parts. Having made a recent survey of the basement, we’ve concluded he could have survived a zombie apocalypse in conjunction with a massive solar flare. Tom loved gardening, cooking, and socializing. He was a friendly, kind, and compassionate man. He had infinite patience. He had original thoughts and ideas and could converse on topics from physics and astronomy to literature. He was a humble man and a world class mumbler. He loved to gently mock (behind their backs) officious and self-important twits. He literally couldn’t kill a fly. They had to be rescued.

Tom loved jazz, swing, r&b, and southern rock, particularly Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. He was a terrific dancer and figure skater. He was smart, well educated, observant, irreverent, and flat out hilarious. We loved him so much.

Tom was predeceased by his parents, Herbert and Henrietta Cartwright, his sister Mary, and his beloved Joanne, 4 years ago. He is survived by his loving children and grandchildren: John (Judy); Jane (Alf Kempf) and Madeline (Cody) and Molly; Catherine (Des Doyle), and Thomas (Tammy), Patrick (Maddy), Jacqueline (Max), and Caroline; and Robert. He is also survived by his cousin Barbara and life-long friends Caroline and Ralph.

A reception will be held at Tom’s house at 235 Monteith Road, Salt Spring Island, on December 9th, from 2 pm onwards; and in Burnaby, on December 16th at 2 pm at John and Judy’s house at 4366 Portland Street, Burnaby.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a number of animal welfare and Salt Spring conservation charities listed on the Haywards Funeral Memorial page. http://www.haywardsfuneral.com

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...
