THE CHANGING CITY

Child-care promise a work in progress

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

With the next election less than a year away, city councillors and school trustees are getting closer to making good on a quarter of a promise made at the height of their last campaign more than three years ago.

In October 2014, just over two weeks before voting day, city council and the Burn-

aby school board – made up entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association councillors and trustees campaigning for re-election – announced a plan to triple child-care spaces in the city.

The plan was for the city to fund the construction of 12 new facilities on school district lands.

Coun. Colleen Jordan was quoted by one media outlet saying there were “huge” wait-

ing lists for all the city’s daycares and that the city had density bonus money from developers for the project.

“We want to get this in place and get it going,” she told 24hrs in October 2014.

None of the facilities have yet been built, but last month the city approved $6 million in density bonus money for the design and construction of four stand-alone modular buildings to be placed at Capitol Hill, Mon-

The city intends to engage an architect before the end of the year and start the detailed design “as soon as possible,” according to a staff report.

The four centres should be up and running by late summer, according to Coun.

Burnaby Hospital no longer the ‘ugly little sister of Fraser Health’ Health care facility earns ‘meritorious’ standing for surgical outcomes

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

For orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tim Kostamo, the downward curve on a graph showing orthopedic surgery complications at Burnaby Hospital over the last few years is a thing of beauty.

“We’ve just got this beautiful kind of trend that just shows that, as our volume has gone up, our experience has gone up, that our complication rates are just coming lower and lower,” he told the NOW. “It’s beautiful to see that.”

The orthopedic data, which includes things like blood clots and infections, is just one set of indicators tracked through the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP).

This year, Burnaby Hospital’s NSQIP numbers were so good it earned “meritorious” standing, putting it in the top 10 per cent of 680 Canadian and U.S. hospitals in the program.

For Kostamo, who is going into his 10th year at the facility, it’s validation the local hospital is no longer the “ugly little sister of Fraser Health.”

“Here’s these numbers saying that, hey, it’s not,” he said. “Burnaby right now is doing an awesome job in these things. I think that’s big news.”

Things weren’t looking so good for the hospital three years ago, when it was hammered in a provincial review of the Fraser Health Authority.

The report found Burnaby Hospital had been the worst in Canada for two years straight between 2010 and 2012 for “nursing-sensitive adverse events,” a category that includes hospital acquired urinary tract infections, pneumonia, pressure ulcers and in-hospital falls leading to fractures.

It also ranked in the worst three per cent of similar hospitals for fixing fractured hips within 48 hours and had “multiple outliers and needs-improvement areas” in its NSQIP data.

Politicians and doctors have blamed some of the hospital’s problems – including deadly outbreaks of the superbug C. difficile about six years ago – on the facility’s age.

Parts of it are more than 65 years old.

During the provincial election, Premier John Horgan promised to fix up the hospital and then replace it for an estimated $2.1 billion.

“We’re going to make sure that the existing facility is up to a standard that the people of Burnaby can be comfortable with, but that hospital needs to be replaced, and we’re going to build a new

DARE TO COMPARE Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tim Kostamo says measuring surgical data at Burnaby Hospital against that of other health-care facilities in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) has helped staff improve outcomes for patients. Burnaby Hospital recently achieved “meritorious” standing in the program. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

We’re doing operations in our little community hospital that they’re not doing anywhere else in Fraser Health, like hip arthroscopy

one,” Horgan said in April.

Despite its age, however, Burnaby Hospital “totally punches over its weight,” according to Kostamo.

“Sure, we have an older facility,” he said, “but there’s nothing I as a surgeon can do about that. There’s nothing the staff can do about that, but we’re the highest volume of total joints in all of Fraser Health. We’re doing operations in our little community hospital that they’re not doing anywhere else in Fraser Health,

like hip arthroscopy.”

NSQIP is one of the tools hospital staff have used to turn things around, according to Kostamo.

Burnaby was the third B.C. hospital to join the program – run by the American College of Surgeons – in 2009.

A NSQIP dedicated nurse, Darlene Jaeger, gathers and submits data on 238 different procedures for six broad categories: general surgery, orthopedic surgery, urology, plastics, otolaryngoscopy (ear, nose, and throat) and gynecology.

The hospital can access raw NSQIP data any time, but four times a year the program also sends reports showing how Burnaby’s numbers stack up compared to other hospitals.

“It’s easy to look at what you’re doing yourself and say, ‘Hey, I’m doing great.’

I think that’s just how we are,” Kostamo said. “To prove it, I think you’ve got to look at what the other hospitals are doing. I think the more you compare, the more powerful it is.”

Take hospital acquired urinary tract in-

fections (UTIs).

About three years ago, Kostamo said, the NSQIP data showed Burnaby was consistently registering high UTI rates in relation to other hospitals.

After discussions about possible causes, the hospital changed its practice of automatically inserting catheters in certain patients (like those with hip fractures); implemented an education push reinforcing proper, sterile techniques for catheterization, and switched to a different kind of catheter.

Since implementing the changes, the hospital’s UTI rates have gone from “needs improvement” to “as expected” in all surgical areas, and to better than average for general, orthopedic and plastic surgeries.

Like many other improvements at the hospital in recent years, the process was sparked by solid data, according to Kostamo.

“If you don’t have the data, you can’t make decisions,” he said.

New female top cop for Burnaby

Since 1993

For the first time, a woman becomes officer in charge of local detachment

www.taylorandblair.com

A woman is Burnaby’s top cop for the first time in the Burnaby RCMP detachment’s history.

Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh became the new officer in charge (OIC) of local Mounties on Monday, replacing Stephan Drolet who has moved on to a new post at E Division.

For Burleigh, it’s a homecoming of sorts.

Her father spent eight years of his RCMP career in Burnaby, and she often visited the detachment as a child, according to a press release announcing her appointment.

Burleigh followed her father into the RCMP in 1985 and has held both uniformed and non-uniformed policing positions stretching from Montreal to the Lower Mainland.

“She has established a positive reputation in the police community, one entirely consistent with my experience working with her,” Lower Mainland District Cmdr. and assistant Com-

missioner Stephen Thatcher said in the press release.

“She is a leader who will strengthen partnerships and build on the goodwill the RCMP already enjoys in Burnaby.”

Burleigh was most recently OIC at the Upper Fraser Valley regional detachment, where she was responsible for four municipalities stretching from Chilliwack to Boston Bar. Throughout her career, she has held positions as the officer in charge of the E Division headquarters integrated health and resource management team; operations officer at the Richmond detachment; and bronze commander at the Richmond Olympic Oval during the 2010Vancouver Winter Olympics.

She also spent eight years in commercial crime where she led a joint forces operation into the fraudulent activities of a local lawyer who had committed a $75-million-dollar mortgage fraud.

Burleigh has a bachelor’s

degree in commerce, with a major in personnel management and organizational behaviour from the University of McGill. She is a member of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, where she sits on multiple committees and was invested as a Member of the Order of Merit in April 2017.

In her spare time, Bur-

leigh enjoys the outdoors, hiking and travel. She is married and has four adult daughters.

“I believe that our strength as the police department comes from partnerships within the community, and the path to success is communication and collaboration,” Burleigh stated in the press release.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Keeping their promises on child care Our front page headline on Wednesday was “Burnaby to get 171 new childcare spaces.” Our front page headline in today’s paper is, “Child-care promise a work in progress.”

There’s a good reason for that.We think child care is a huge issue in B.C. Unless you live in some strange social isolation lab where you never encounter young people, their parents or their grandparents,

we think you might agree.

Or, at the very least, believe that a lot of people are spending a lot of time thinking about it.

We also think that using child care as a political promise is akin to promising a “chicken in every pot” during election campaigns.

There’s no doubt that parents, particularly parents who cannot afford deluxe private child-care centres, will be very tempted

to vote for a politician who promises to help them with child care.We think it worked in Burnaby as well as B.C. Last week NDP MLA Katrina Chen (a former Burnaby school trustee) said that the 171 new childcare spaces for Burnaby is just a first step in her government’s child-care plan.

The NDP government’s campaign platform promised a $10 a day child-care

plan.

“We need to create a system.” Chen said last week.

And she’s absolutely correct. But NDP Premier John Horgan told the media in mid-November that the big NDP child-care plan is counting on a helping hand from the federal government.

And that would have to be a pretty big helping hand.The NDP’s plan is projected to cost as much

as $1.5 billion a year.

And while the NDP rationalized that parents, if they could find reasonable child care, would boost the economy by being able to work and pay taxes, it’s still going to be a very costly item.

Child-care advocates were skeptical when the NDP said it was saving the child-care details for the full budget in February.

Many saw that as a stalling

tactic.

In fact, Chen’s rollout of child-care spaces last week could be seen as a way to mollify critics.

We hope Burnaby’s political leaders and the B.C. government don’t continue to dangle child-care carrots in front of voters.

It may work for one election, but it’s testing voters’ patience to try it for two elections.

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

Has this been a seismic shift?

A new survey reveals that half of working women in Canada say they have endured sexual harassment on the job.

Let’s let that sink in for a moment, shall we? One in two women have, as the Canada Labour Code defines it, experienced: “any conduct, comment, gesture, or contact of a sexual nature that is likely to cause offence or humiliation to any employee; or that might, on reasonable grounds, be perceived by that employee as placing a condition of a sexual nature on employment or on any opportunity for training or promotion.”

I hope this is all not just another “trending” story Does it surprise you that 50 per cent of women have been sexually harassed in their workplaces ? Chances are, if you’re a woman, it doesn’t. In fact, you may think that number is low. I do.

Having worked for more than 30 years in the media, pretty much nothing shocks me anymore. But I must confess I am surprised that employers appear to be taking sexual harassment so seriously now. Granted, it’s the big names that are getting the big headlines.What is happening on shop floors, in restaurants and workplaces where women are economically vulnerable and exploited is probably another matter altogether. I

hope this is all not just another “trending” story that will be forgotten in a couple of months. But, even if it does move from the front pages to the back pages, in my opinion, there’s already been a seismic shift.

A decade ago or even three decades ago, it was dramatically different.

It wasn’t until 1983 that sexual harassment was even put in the Canadian Human Rights Code.

In the ’70s and ’80s, the best that women could hope for was that a woman co-worker might forewarn her about a man in the office who “can’t keep his hands to himself.” Or worse, “don’t stay in the office after work if he’s here too.”

Or, “never go to his place – no matter what.”The phrase “he has hands like an octopus” was considered normal office banter.

The top boss at one of my jobs in the early ’80s was a serial sexual harasser. He preyed on vulnerable women who needed their jobs.

One night when I was working late on the paper, I came across one of the women he had been harassing. She was crying by herself in the back of the building. She told me her story. I told my immediate boss the next morning, and I said we had to do something about this. He was not enthusiastic, but he did agree to go with me to confront the boss. For that I was grateful.

My intention was pretty simple: Make the harasser aware that his actions were unacceptable and that he had to stop.

Computers needed in schools School trustees were wracking their brains in April for a way to lower the ratio of computers to students in local schools. A survey had revealed some Burnaby high schools had 59 students for every computer while others had a seven-to-one ratio. In elementary schools, the ratios ranged between 17 to one and five to one.

Trustees complained computers weren’t adequately funded by the province, and schools relied heavily on parents to fundraise.Trustee Barbara Fisher asked if districts were allowed to run casinos to raise money.The answer was no.

Opinionnow #MeToo may signify a seismic shift in attitude Continued from page 6

Naively I thought if he knew someone else knew, he would just stop.

So in the two of us went to his office.

The harasser’s partner, who also worked at the company, walked in as I was telling him that what he did was wrong. I stopped cold when she came in. She was pregnant, and I didn’t want to upset her. She said, however, to just continue my conversation. I hesitated, but the harasser also said to continue. I did. She shrugged when she heard what I said. She then laughed, and said “(his name) are you doing that again?”

This reaction might shock people today.

It shocked me then, but taken in the context of that time, it probably wasn’t as dramatic as it would be today. I have no idea what their relationship was based on. I still don’t.What I did know was that I couldn’t work for people like this, and I left that job soon after.

Years later I was at a journalists’ training event and a group of us were in the pub sharing work stories.The harasser’s name came up, and I relayed my experience with him.

I then received a phone call from the harasser while I was at work at my new workplace. One of the journalists had told him

what I had said about him.

The harasser, to his credit, in a very small, very weird way, didn’t deny the facts. He was, however, protesting my use of the word “predator” in describing him. After some debate about the word choice, he agreed that “harasser” was more suitable a descriptor. Predator, he said, made him sound like a pedophile.

Think about that for a minute. A man in a position of power has the gall to actually argue about a word that describes his abhorrent behaviour.

Did he continue to sexually exploit women workers after I left his workplace? Probably. Do I ever wonder what more I could have done?Yes.Would he dare harass women now? Would he call me up now and complain about saying he was a predator? I don’t know.

What I do know is that as soon as the #MeToo movement caught fire, one of my first thoughts was for those women in that workplace who had been targeted. My second thought was recalling all the other incidents at workplaces in the years following that one. My third thought was that I hoped the women who had suffered at his hands might just turn up on his doorstep with a #MeToo picket sign.

I still hope they do.

Coming together: Less than three weeks before the 2014 municipal election, Burnaby Citizens Association school board trustees joined party colleagues from city council and Katrina Chen, then a parks commissioner and BCA trustee candidate, for a photo after signing a joint plan to triple child-care spaces in the city. PHOTO NOW FILES

Child care proves complicated

Continued from page 1 Dan Johnston, just ahead of October’s municipal election.

“I never dreamed that it would take so long to get to this stage,” Jordan said at a Nov. 27 council meeting.

Mayor Derek Corrigan concurred.

“I’ve got to admit, this was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be,” Corrigan said. “In the 30plus years I’ve been here, I’ve been involved in building arts centres and ice rinks and community centres and swimming pools, roads and works yards and all kinds of things over the course of those years that were big projects to take on, but this has been one of the more difficult ones, in that we really had to learn about a business that isn’t part of what we normally do.”

City council approved an $80,000 feasibility study

of three sites in February 2015.That study was still “ongoing” a year later.

Council then released another $300,000 in July of this year for a detailed assessment of six sites.

The project was held up by a number of factors, according to Corrigan, including costs associated with some sites and the politics of deciding where to place the centres and what kinds of child care they would provide.The project was further delayed, he said, by the school district needing land to place its own portables after a Supreme Court of Canada decision on class sizes led to the need for more classroom space.

Councillors also pointed to a shortage of portables on the market generally.

Despite the delays, Corrigan said the plan to partner with the school board to build the 12 centres had

been a good one, since the cost of building a single centre would otherwise have been about $6 million.

“We said, ‘We can do better than that; we can do more,’ and we have,” he said. “Here’s $6 million building four daycares utilizing school board land, but it’s certainly been much more of a process than we ever thought it would be.”

When the remaining eight promised child-care facilities would be built wasn’t discussed at last month’s meeting.

“One thing I can assure you, is the next ones will be easier now that we’ve gone through the process once,” Corrigan said, “and hopefully the provincial government is going to come in and provide some funding for these units so that we can do another project quickly.”

City now ‘Pitiful’ salmon run for Stoney Creek this year Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

This year’s salmon run in Stoney Creek was “absolutely pitiful” when compared to 2016, according to the president of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee.

John Templeton said the waterway only saw about 600 fish this season – about 10 coho and the rest chum.

Last year, some 2,500 salmon returned to spawn.

“Tributary 3A, it had 88 fish last year.This year, I’d say it’s about six,” he told the NOW. “It must appear to be a very bad year.”

Templeton suspects there are a few reasons for the decline in numbers – the first being commercial fishing on the Fraser River.

“I wouldn’t say more (fishing) than previous years, but there are definite-

“Because of climate change, there are warmer currents coming up from California.That’s bringing up predatory fish,” he said, pointing to the Spanish mackerel.

“Because of the warmer water, the plankton that are part of the building block for the fish, the plankton (aren’t) as plentiful.There’s not as much plankton for small fish to eat, which some of the salmon are eating.”

Fish farms also have an impact on the salmon run, noted Templeton. Fish farms create a breeding ground for the sea lice, and infestations are often treated with a chemical known as SLICE, he said.

“Four or five of these sea lice will attach themselves onto a small, small fish, and they’ll basically suck the life out of it and kill it. All of the

By the numbers

Here’s what the Stoney Creek salmon run has looked like since 2012.

2017: 590 chum, 10 coho 2016: 2,407 chum, 130 coho 2015: 859 chum, 79 coho 2014: 544 chum, 101 coho 2013: 1,713 chum, 405 coho 2012: 2,371 chum, 47 coho

ly fisheries that impact it. ...You have all these native bands fishing consecutively at the same time.What they do is set drift nets on the river; they basically float a whole wall of nets down the river and that basically catches all the fish that are swimming up,” he explained.

Ocean predators are another contributing factor, added Templeton.

fish farms have been using SLICE to try to eradicate sea lice, but it doesn’t always do it.”

Templeton and other local streamkeepers across the Lower Mainland will be getting together in February to

discuss the big picture, and see whether other areas experienced low numbers.

Warm Up to Winter at Mulberry PARC

Suspect returned to custody after accidental release Transit Police picked up suspected bank robber at Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain station A suspected bank robber released from custody by accident last week was picked up by Transit Police at a Burnaby SkyTrain station Tuesday.

At about 10:15 p.m., Burnaby RCMP notified Transit Police of an armed robbery that had just happened in the 4100 block of North Road in Burnaby.

A description of the suspect was broadcast, and Transit Police officers spotted a man fitting the description walking in to Lougheed station.

Arrested was 47-year-old Dean Richard Zastowny, who is very well known to police, according to a Tran-

sit Police press release.

Zastowny was “inadvertently released” from the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre late last week and was unlawfully at large, the release said.

He had originally been

arrested in Surrey on Nov. 12 in connection with robberies in Burnaby and Abbotsford in October.

He is also a suspect in other robberies around the Lower Mainland, according to police.

Arts Club productions at Shadbolt in new year

If you’re searching for a Christmas present for the theatre lover on your list, search no farther.

Think theatre tickets – and think Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, where the Arts Club Theatre Company will be bringing two of its touring productions in the new year.

On Feb. 3 and 4, local audiences will have a chance to enjoy Misery,Wil-

liam Goldman’s play based on the bestselling thriller

by Stephen King. Successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon is rescued from a car crash by his “number 1 fan,” Annie Wilkes – but soon finds out that, while she’s nursing him back to health, she’s in fact keeping him captive.

On March 13 and 14, it’s the return of the award-winning production of One-

gin, based on the poem by Pushkin and the opera by Tchaikovsky. It follows Evgeni Onegin’s visit to the Larin family estate, where his romantic charms stir the passions of residents.

For more information on the shows, check out www. artsclub.com.

South Cariboo Hill embraces uphill battle awarded No. 1 tag

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Being ranked first in B.C. in December not the goal, says coach

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s not a huge thing and others may be envious, but Mike Bell isn’t overjoyed to see his Burnaby South Rebels already ranked No. 1 in B.C. among senior boys AAAA basketball teams.

While its neat having others acknowledge the team’s potential, it is countered by wearing a virtual “No. 1 target” on the players’ uniforms.

“It’s unfortunate that we’re ranked first (in B.C.) now,” said Bell of his team, which was listed No. 5 in the preseason poll barely two weeks ago. “Our goal is not to be (first) now but at the end of the year.”

The ranking reflects what pundits have observed over nearly two weeks of high school hoops, and primarily how the Rebels handled themselves at the Heritage Woods Klassic tourney in Port Moody.

They won three of four games at the high calibre tourney, with strong outings against No. 4-ranked Walnut Grove (84-80), No. 5 Handsworth (88-76) and fairly convincingly defeated No. 8 Semiahmoo (90-69) in the third-place game.

The only setback came against Calgary powerhouse Bishop O’Byrne, where Burnaby South was topped 86-67.

“We had a really good tournament and just one bad game,” remarked Bell. “It was not our best game.We kind of got pushed around and pushed down, but it was good to see us respond (against Semiahmoo).”

The team boasts a number of major talents, but the Rebels biggest asset, Bell said, is how they gel and push each other.

“We have 13 guys on this team that can all play.There’s quality in depth and the challenge for me is getting everyone playing time.”

And with that skill level, the approach is geared towards handling whatever the opposition throws at them. In other words, Burnaby South can dominate, but it has the ability to adjust and play any game the competition wants to play.

“We just want to make sure we come out and compete each game.

We’ve got height, great shooting, great guards, we can run, we can slow the game down.We have versatility,” he noted.

With Baltej Sohal and Vince Sunga picking up all-star honours, other players made major contributions.

Continued on page 21

It was a reminder that the work never stops.

On Wednesday, the Cariboo Hill Chargers launched the Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball league with a tough test against the rival New Westminster Hyacks.

The AAAA Hyacks put in a dominating effort en route to a 96-36 decision, led by Manny Phangura’s 21 points.

The Chargers, who are a AA program, got a team-high 13 points from Ajay Virk.

“New West out-hustled, out-rebounded and outran us all night,” remarked Cariboo coach Ken Swanson.

Never mind the fact that Cariboo Hill is one of the smaller public schools in the district, with 600 students.

Swanson also had three injuries to deal with and dressed three Grade 10s, with a roster that is predominantly Grade 11s.

“Our major issue is that we are a school of less than 600 (students), playing in a conference of Burnaby schools that have up to 2,700 students,” said Swanson. “North, Central, South and Mountain are all over 2,000, (and) Moscrop 1,900. ...Technically, all of our league games are exhibition games.”

The Chargers are aiming to continue building towards a Lower Mainland bid, having shown respectibly well at last week’s Gladstone tournament.

They began by beating Looking for an opening: Cariboo Hill Chargers’ Harjap Dhaliwal, right, peers past New Westminster’s Hardeep Purba for a shot during Cambie, who were a top-10 Wednesday’s Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball game in Burnaby.

Vikings leave it on provincial AAA court Burnaby North senior boys ride provincial rollercoaster en route to finishing 18th

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The bright lights and big smashes came to a sudden conclusion last week for the upstart Burnaby North Vikings.

The senior boys volleyball team closed out the AAA season experiencing all the pressure and excitement that is the provincial championships at the Langley Events Centre, coming home after finishing 18th overall.

In a 20-team tourney, that may not sound like such an accomplishment.Without retracing the difficult road it took getting there, the Vikings put their heart and soul on the line and were rewarded, if not in placing, in affirmation of their skills and dedication on the biggest stage.

Burnaby North placed second after a tightly contested pool round, which saw them go 2-1

with victories over Centennial (25-20, 31-29) and David Thompson (22-25, 25-11, 15-8).

Reynolds emerged as the pool’s top finisher after a well-played 25-20, 25-22 battle with the Vikings. Setting a strong tone in the first round were Ryan Hum, Justen Chau and liberoYoshie Inomata.

Burnaby launched the championship round a little slowly against No. 12-ranked Vancouver Tech, gaining some momentum near the end before falling 3-0 (25-19, 25-14, 25-22).

Spun off to the consolation bracket, the Vikings defeated Centennial in another close showdown 2-1 (24-26, 27-25, 15-10), before closing out the tourney in a 2-1 loss to Claremont (23-25, 25-21, 15-12).

Head coach Barton Lim liked the spirit the team showed in fending off a furious Centennial challenge.

“We won our opening game which was a re-

match from pool play,” remarked Lim. “After losing a heartbreaking set where we had a 2421 lead, losing 24-26, we regrouped to eke out a second set win, with both teams exchanging leads. In the third set, (we) built a lead with some strong hitting from Hum, Chau and Ted Yoon and some key blocking by middle Kaito McKelvie.”

It was Lim’s second provincials, as he also helmed the Burnaby North boys junior team a week earlier in Kelowna.

The Vikings finished the tourney with a powerful 2-0 win (25-16, 25-23) over Vernon, wrapping up a competitive series.

They finished second in pool play, beating Mount Sentinel 2-0 and Dawson Creek 2-1 to earn the pool’s No. 2 seed. Burnaby North kicked off the playoff round with a unlucky 2-0 loss (25-23, 25-21) to Fraser Valley and 2-1 to D.P.Todd.

Rebels enjoy sharp start Continued from page 20 Aidan Wilson, a Grade 11 sixth man, made an impact when called upon, while Sohal is one of the team leaders who sets the tone. “(Sohal) has been playing great and turned into one of our leaders, a floor general, and he’s a Grade 11 (player),” added Bell.

The team also benefits from the five-person coaching staff, which Bell said is completely synchronized.

“We have a great group of kids and a great group of

Steelers top Langley

Anthony Benevoli’s eighth goal of the season stood up as the winner, lifting the Grandview Steelers past Langley 3-2 last Sunday. Also scoring were Connor Alderson and Michael Martino. Grandview hosts Richmond on Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

coaches. (The coaches) all get input, and we all get to make sugestions.What we want is what’s best for the kids.”

Another reason why Bell puts little stock in early or mid-season rankings is past history.The Rebels were regularly ranked the past two seasons and considered a team on the rise, but both years it fell short of the provincial tournament.

“I think that’s an incredible motivation for our seniors, for everyone, who

comes in and works as hard as they have been,” said Bell. “We know what it takes, and we are making it our big goal to get (to Langley in March).”

Burnaby South’s next test comes this weekend as part of the TBI tournament in Langley, which began Thursday (after the NOW’s deadline) against No. 2 AAA R.A. McMath.

Their first league game comes Monday, when they visit Burnaby Mountain.

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
