TRAGEDY

Teen dies after being hit by car Neighbour says call for lights at crossing had been denied

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The death of a 15-year-old girl in a crash at the bottom of Cariboo Hill in Burnaby has highlighted longstanding concerns about an unlit crosswalk there, according to neighbours.

“It bothers me, especially because people don’t tend to want to do anything about it,” said Pamela Scanlon, who has used the crossing for nine years to get to a bus stop across Cariboo Road from her coop.

“I know that the people here have been trying to get some lights and stuff put on for a long, long time, but it keeps being denied.”

Cariboo Road was shut down in both directions for about seven hours Wednesday morning after the girl – reported by some media to be a Brazilian international student not attending Burnaby schools – was hit and killed near the crosswalk at about 7:10 a.m.

Burnaby RCMP have said it’s too early to say what caused the crash, but the driver of the car involved is cooperating with police.

Scanlon and her husband both use the crosswalk daily and have both had a number of close calls on it.

“One time, for me personally, I was waiting there to cross over on this side. A guy stopped and the car behind was going too fast and knew he couldn’t stop and went right up on the pavement and just missed me,” she said.

Scanlon said people drive too fast down the hill

and few stop for waiting pedestrians.

“It’s just not very well lit,” she said.

Police responded to three other crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists hit by vehicles Wednesday, and part of Cariboo Road was shut down again Continued on page 5

City ‘not reasonable’ in permit process: NEB

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The way the City of Burnaby dealt with Trans Mountain’s permitting requests was “not reasonable”

and resulted in “unreasonable delay,” according to the National Energy Board.

Those comments were included in a 26-page document released Thursday, outlining the NEB’s reasons

for why it granted Trans Mountain’s request to bypass Burnaby’s tree-cutting and zoning bylaws.

Last October,Trans Mountain and the city came to an impasse, with Trans

Mountain alleging the city was purposefully stalling the $7.4-billion project by not issuing permits.The company asked the NEB to intervene and allow it to continue work, a decision that was

made in Trans Mountain’s favour last month.

According to the national energy regulator, Burnaby’s municipal staff took two to three times longer in reviewing Trans Mountain’s

Newsnow FOR ETHNIC VOTER CAMPAIGN

Ex-Liberal operative facing house arrest

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

“This is a very tricky game.”

Such were the words of Burnaby’s Brian Bonney in an email to a woman hired to woo ethnic voters in swing ridings and tip the scales in favour of the B.C. Liberal Party ahead of the 2013 provincial election.

Bonney, a former government communications director and former director of the B.C. Liberal Party, pleaded guilty in October to breach of trust for using government resources for partisan purposes in relation to the Liberals’ so-called “quick wins” plan.

He was in B.C. Provincial court this week for sentencing.

During a three-day hearing that started in Vancouver Tuesday, special prosecutor David Butcher argued Bonney’s “tricky game” quote, along with statements in numerous other emails calling for secrecy, showed Bonney knew “all was not right,” with his activities as he carried out parts of the Liberals’ Multicultural Strategic Outreach Plan, drafted after a meeting on Dec. 1, 2011 that included representatives from the premier’s office, the Liberal caucus and the Liberal party.

The special prosecutor presented numerous emails between Bonney and three publicly paid outreach workers whom he directed in “highly and increasingly partisan activity” leading up to the 2013 election, according to Butcher.

Targeting key ethnic

groups in swing ridings, including Burnaby ridings, the emails show Bonney instructing the outreach workers to organize meetings with “visible minority” groups whose leaders might be supportive of, or potential donors for, the Liberal party, to assemble lists of multicultural groups and identify whether their leaders supported or donated to the Liberal party, to recruit Liberal supporters to sit on boards and to help Liberal supporters receive community grants.The emails also show Bonney directing the outreach workers to write partisan op ed pieces and to phone into radio phone-in programs.

Some of the emails supplied confidential information about MLAs and cabinet minister’s weekly activities for the outreach workers to use.

He called the information “highly classified” and said he could lose his job if it got out.

While Butcher characterized the Liberal plan and Bonney’s efforts to woo ethnic voters in swing ridings as “cynical and political” and not a legitimate attempt at multicultural engagement, he said it would not have been criminal if Bonney had not been a government employee.

“Had this been a purely party activity, there wouldn’t have been a criminal prosecution,” Butcher said.

As it was, Bonney’s direction of the outreach workers during work hours and his passing on of government information was “completely inappropriate,” according

to Butcher.

Butcher called for a conditional sentence in the range of 12 to 23 months to be served in the community, including four to six months of house arrest.

Butcher further asked for Bonney to be ordered to complete a “substantial amount” of community work service and that he be banned from volunteering or fundraising with any political party during his sentence.

The court should send a strong and clear message to those involved in politics that breach of trust will be treated in a serious manner tics that breach of trust will be treated in a serious manner,” Butcher said.

Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson, meanwhile, said his client was “barely guilty” and asked Provincial Court Justice David St. Pierre to consider a discharge or, fail-

ing that, a conditional sentence in the range of 30 to 90 days.

Donaldson argued it was Bonney’s position as the communications director of the multiculturalism branch that was tricky and that his wrong actions need to be

taken in context.

As the only communications director of a branch instead of a ministry, Donaldson argued, Bonney took direction from a number of “bosses” – including staff in the premier’s office, two cabinet ministers and people in the Liberal party caucus – and that they failed to make clear to Bonney the line between government, caucus and Liberal party work that were appropriate for him to engage in.

THE PIPELINE

Public not allowed at NEB pipeline hearings Extra security measures put in place after protesters disrupted Energy East hearings in 2016

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The National Energy Board will be strict about who it lets into its oral hearings for Kinder Morgan’s $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project next week.

The national energy regulator is holding the meetings at the Delta Burnaby

Hotel from Jan. 22 to 31, and from March 12 to 22.

The hearings give the NEB a chance to hear from landowners who have issues with the company’s proposed pipeline route.

For security reasons, members of the public will not be allowed in. Only those who have registered in advance (hearing participants and media) can at-

tend, according to NEB spokesperson James Stevenson.

The enhanced measures are a result of the disruptions that occurred during the Energy East hearings in 2016, which included protesters making physical and verbal threats, he told the NOW. “The NEB is required, under the Canada Labour

Code, to provide a safe work environment, which includes inside the hearing room,” he said. “Our first priority is always safety.

This includes the safety of our staff, members, hearing participants and the general public who attend our hearings.We also need to ensure that all participants have an opportunity to have their concerns heard, in a re-

spectful and courteous environment.”

Stevenson encouraged the public to follow along through a live audio feed at tinyurl.com/NEBAudio, and said the NEB will also post transcripts of all the meetings on its website.

The federal government approved the project in November 2016 – subject to 157 conditions – along a

150-metre-wide corridor.

(Once twinned, the Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline will carry 890,000 barrels of diluted bitumen daily from Alberta’s tar sands.)

Last year, as required by the NEB Act, Kinder Morgan filed what’s known as a Plan, Profile and Book of Reference. It included aerial maps showing the proposed Continued on page 8

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS

Bonney fulfilled all his government duties: lawyer Continued from page 3 people occupying senior positions in different roles in the government, I say were aware of his activities and indeed encouraged and gave him positive feedback about many of those activities,” Donaldson said.

He clarified, however, that Bonney accepted responsibility and wasn’t attempting to shift criminal blame onto his superiors.

“Clearly these people didn’t think, in my submission there’s no reason to think, that they believed they were directing Mr. Bonney

to break the law,” he said.

Donaldson further argued Bonney did “everything and more” in fulfilling his government duties, and that his partisan activities had been in addition to that work and not taken away from it.

This despite a review by then-Premier Christy Clark’s deputy minister John Dyble concluded in 2013 that Bonney had spent about half his time as a government communications director engaged in partisan work, and the Liberal party paid $70,000 to reimburse the government.

In arguing for a discharge or shorter conditional sentence, Donaldson said future government employees will be adequately deterred by the “incineration” of Bonney’s reputation in the community over the last few years and that a longer sentence would add little to deter them further.

Bonney’s sentencing continued Thursday after the NOW’s press deadline.

A decision by St. Pierre is expected in the coming weeks.

City will appear before board

Landowners and land occupants then had a chance to submit a statement of opposition related to the location, methods and timing of construction.

“Let’s say in a rural setting, a landowner didn’t want (construction) to happen during seeding or during the harvest.That sort of issue can be brought up,” said Stevenson.

For the Burnaby stretch of the pipeline, which is less than six kilometres long,

135 people filed a statement of opposition, he noted, and of those, 28 were granted an opportunity to speak at the detailed route hearing.

Under the NEB’s rules, the board can approve the route in segments.Work on the pipeline in any non-approved section can’t proceed until the board OKs it and all of the necessary land rights are acquired.

Appearing before the board on Jan. 21 is Underhill Lands Ltd., followed by the City of Burnaby on Jan. 22, 24 and 25. Other participants include the City of Coquitlam, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Vancou-

ver and some Burnaby residents.

NEW VIDEO Ahead of next week’s hearings, the City of Burnaby has released a 22-minute YouTube video on Thursday, outlining why it opposes the proposed route.

Mayor Derek Corrigan, economist Robyn Allan and the city’s director of corporate services, Dipak Dattani are featured in the clip.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

That ‘someone else’ could be you next time

A 15-year-old girl died Wednesday in Burnaby.

While RCMP are still investigating the accident, there is one thing we know for sure – it is a tragedy that was probably preventable.

The girl was attempting to cross Cariboo Road in the morning. It was early and cloudy – possibly even dark and raining at the time.To be sure, visibility was probably very low and drivers were caught in the morning rush hour.That crossing does not have an overhead light and neigh-

bours say they have complained about it.

It had all the ingredients for a potential tragedy.

Lives associated with and impacted by this event will never be the same. Never.

On the same day there were several other similar incidents in the city. No one died in those, but it has probably not escaped the people involved in those close calls that they too could have lost their lives, or been the driver involved.

We nag and plead with drivers to be extra careful

during the winter months – we virtually beg pedestrians to wear bright clothes and reflective tape to make them as visible as possible.We do stories on distracted drivers, policing efforts, egregious incidents. Stories on poorly lit crossings and places people think should be blocked off to prevent crossing.We share our own stories of near-misses – a glimpse of a portion of a white T-shirt in our peripheral vision, stories of crossing at a lit crosswalk with the walk signal and jumping back when a driver

turns without looking at us and nearly hits us. Shaking our fists at the driver with anger – but mostly shaking with adrenaline and fear.

The media and police call these pedestrian-vehicle collisions “accidents.” And they are. No one intends on being a victim or hitting anyone.When someone steps into traffic without noticing a car coming, it is surely not premeditated.When a driver looks the wrong way for a moment and hits a pedestrian – it is surely not intended. No one, we hope, thinks

to themselves “checking on my cellphone is more important than avoiding striking a pedestrian.”

Human beings are fallible and take chances and simply miss things.

But many accidents can be prevented by simply taking more care, wearing brighter clothing, driving the speed limit – and under the speed limit – when conditions are dark and glare is increased.

Anticipating problem areas on our drives, on our walks, and watching out for

others who aren’t aware of such areas, is the right thing to do. So why, oh why, do drivers take chances and risk such horrible consequences? Because, we believe, everyone thinks it happens to “someone else”.

Well, we have news for you: you are that “someone else.”

And the next pedestrian who perishes – that person is also not just “someone else.” It could be your daughter, your mom, your dad. Please, please, be careful out there.

MY VIEW ANDY PREST

Have I got some cold air for you Vancouver’s got a chilling secret and I, for one, am going to put a stop to it.

Every winter, when the rest of the country is plunged into a deep, dark cold that will freeze all of your nose hairs into one super nose hair,Vancouverites chime in with our own version of the Canadian cold.

Our version goes something like this: it’s a damp cold. It gets in your bones.

It’s hard to shake off the chills even after you come inside.

I grew up on the Prairies and have the frostbite scars to prove it, but I’ve been living in the Vancouver area for more than a decade now and I confess to indulging in the “damp cold” theory myself.Then came Christmas 2017. My family decided to drive to the Prairies, where they were entering a recordbreaking cold snap. Our first stop was an overnighter at a quaint little Rocky Mountain resort perched on the edge of a stunning, glacierfed lake. At least, that’s how the resort looks in the postcards.When we parked our car and unloaded our bags, things were feeling a little more dire. By that I mean it was –31°C. As we unloaded our luggage and waited for the shuttle bus to whisk us from the parking lot to the lodge, we looked back at the cars and noticed that all of them were plugged in. All except for ours – a West Coast kid, our little Nissan was born without a block heater.

At the resort we were surprised to find that our stay in the lodge was not a stay

in the lodge at all, but rather at a cabin that could only be accessed by foot, through a frozen forest, around a hellishly steaming bog, and over a soul-crushing mountain pass.Well, at least that’s what it felt like. Looking back now I’ll grudgingly admit that it was actually a short walk up a hill, and the steam may have come from a hot tub. But it was –31, a temperature at which the simplest of outdoor tasks are tinged with the knowledge that if things go a little bit wrong, the Earth will kill you, quickly.

Inside the cabin there was no television, which wouldn’t have mattered anyway because there was a power outage.That meant that the room’s central feature, a massive fireplace stocked with logs and a bit of kindling, would serve as the night’s sole source of entertainment and heat.

This made the oft-repeated questions from my children all the more pointed as I tried to build a fire: “Daddy, when can we cook the marshmallows? Daddy, where did the flames go? Daddy, why is there so much smoke? Daddy, why can’t I feel my toes?”

Luckily the one thing that worked really well in the room was the phone to the front desk, and in no time a guy was at the door with another big bundle of kindling.

At the end of it all the fire was roaring, our car started the next day with just a bit of whining, and we were off to spend a week in Alberta where every trip outside Continued on page 7

Teen attacked at nightclub

An attack on the dance floor of a Burnaby nightclub in April left an 18-year-old woman with serious injuries.

While dancing at the Onyx nightclub late on a Sunday night, police said the woman had inadvertently bumped into another young woman.The second woman got mad and pulled the victim to the floor by her hair. Once down, she was kicked in the face and upper torso by the other woman and five of her friends. She suffered deep facial cuts, bruising and a fractured eye socket.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2013

BurnabyNOW FRIDAY January 19, 2018 7

Opinionnow Pedestrians are at risk Dear Editor: Something has to be done about the danger to pedestrians in Metrotown. There is little respect for pedestrians in marked crosswalks; cars are not yielding to pedestrians.

They are not yielding even when the pedestriancontrolled lights indicate pedestrians can start walking. Drivers are turning or blowing through intersections, not on yellows, but stale red lights.

Today I saw an instance of three eastbound cars that turned left from Kingsway to go north on Willingdon while the pedestrian walk light prompted people to cross; this was on the same red light for all of them. They were following two or three cars that went on the yellow – and there was a crowd of pedestrians waiting on the curb to cross, and the road was wet.

The practice by Burnaby city engineering of only turning on the red light cameras intermittently has to stop, and enforcement has to be in place full time. Somebody is going to die.

Paul McGown, Burnaby

Risks outweigh benefits Dear Editor: Re: Pipeline expansion will benefit Burnaby residents (Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 10) Yes, the Burnaby Board of Trade hosted a workshop regarding potential opportunities the Kinder Morgan pipeline could present for local businesses. But let’s not gloss over the fact that the Burnaby Board of Trade, in a special report to its members, raised a number of concerns regarding a project that 70 per cent of Burnaby

residents oppose; including: ! the economic benefits of this project do not flow to Burnaby in a manner equal to the risk undertaken by the city; ! the successful recovery of any taxpayer funds extended to industry in the event of a spill ! Aframax tankers that will carry 680,000 barrels (85 per cent capacity) when the current spill response is 70,000 barrels in 10 days; and ! the impact of a large earthquake.

In a nutshell, what I heard the BBOT say is “Since the Trudeau Liberals are shoving this pipeline down our throats, we might as well explore the so-called local benefits.” Those few who could benefit financially could have a different perspective. For the vast majority of us, this project is a lose-lose proposition.

Peter Cech, Burnaby

No, it’s not cold outside

Continued from page 6 included a “minutes until you die” clock.

Other parts of the country were even colder.

We made it back to Vancouver without losing any limbs, and the next day I walked to work with a sweater and light jacket.

Was it a damp cold? Did it get into my bones? No! This was balmy, and you’ll never hear me say otherwise again.

You want to know cold that really gets into your bones? Stand inside your freezer.

Then remember this: compared to the rest of Canada, your freezer is warm.

City now Witnesses sought in crash

Continued from page 1 on Thursday morning at about 9:10 a.m. after a cyclist was hit near the same spot where the 15-year-old girl was killed.

The cyclist was taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries.

“As highlighted in relation to yesterday’s fatal collision, police see a spike in

collisions in the fall and winter months because of the shorter daylight hours and poor weather,” stated a police press release Thursday. “Burnaby RCMP urges pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to remain alert in low light and wet weather conditions. Pedestrians should wear reflective clothing, use crosswalks and in-

tersections, make eye contact with drivers when crossing the street. Pedestrians shouldn’t assume a driver has seen you; therefore, make sure the vehicle is going to stop before stepping out onto the roadway.”

Anyone who witnessed Wednesday’s fatal collision is asked to contact the RCMP at 604-646-9999.

City process ‘very difficult’

Continued from page 1 “Burnaby’s process made it very difficult for Trans Mountain to understand what the permitting requirements were and how they could be met,” reads the decision. “Burnaby repeatedly denied Trans Mountain’s reasonable requests to aid in an efficient processing of the preliminary plan approval applications (PPA).

“In the Board’s view, Trans Mountain made reasonable efforts to respond to Burnaby’s comments and requests for additional information and has, in fact, provided the bulk of this

information to Burnaby,” the decision stated. “While some information that Burnaby requested in relation to the PPA applications is outstanding, the board accepts that Trans Mountain was not in a position to practically or efficiently provide this information in the absence of additional guidance from Burnaby.”

During back-and-forth between the two parties, the NEB found the city had not clearly or consistently answered Trans Mountain’s questions and provided unclear instructions.

“At the same time, Burn-

aby made its technical staff reviewing the permitting applications largely inaccessible to the company.”

While the city has argued Trans Mountain has been incompetent in submitting its applications, the NEB found the evidence did not support that argument.

The document notes the project has been federally approved to proceed, “after a lengthy review,” and “it is not up to Burnaby to stop it.”

The NEB also found the local permits do not apply to work at the Burnaby terminal.

“We would like to thank our donors and partners in our community for sharing the joy,” read a newsletter from Burnaby Family Life.

“Together, we are building on that tradition and working every day to make this a more inclusive, welcoming and safe community for all.”

TEDDY BEARS WERE POPULAR Burnaby liquor stores donated more than 400 teddy bears to local charities last month.

The donations were part

Overall, the liquor store in Dawson Creek sold the

“We are grateful for all the support from our customers to help local char-

ities in their respective communities,” read an email from the B.C. liquor branch.

Burnaby women help Rohingya refugees What started as a casual conversation over coffee turned into an event that raised $106,000 for Rohingya refugees.

After finding out about the Rohingya refugee crisis online, two Burnaby women,Tasleem Dhanji and Sabrina Meherally, “felt compelled to do something,” said Meherally.

The Rohingya refugee crisis began in August 2017, when genocide in Myanmar forced thousands of Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh. It is “the fastest growing refugee emergency in the world today,” according to the United Nations.

Dhanji and Meherally’s fundraising event, held at a Vancouver art gallery in November, raised around $24,000, nearly five times the $5,000 goal Meherally and Dhanji had set.

They also received numerous donations after the event, including a donation

from the Vancity Humanitarian Foundation, bringing them up to about $53,000.

With matching from the federal government, the total ended up being $106,000.

Meherally and Dhanji plan to donate the funds to Doctors Without Borders.

Despite the urgency of

The money that we raised, while necessary, is simply a Band-Aid.

the crisis, Meherally and Dhanji feel that countries seem indifferent to the situation.

There is “not enough international pressure… to do something” Meherally said.

“There is a lot of work to be done, especially work from the Canadian govern-

ment. … Sanctions need to be implemented, … Myanmar needs to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity,” Dhanji added.

The two have also started a petition through their facebook page, @standup forrohingya, calling on the federal government to intervene in the crisis.

The November fundraiser was a great initial step, but “the money that we raised, while necessary, is simply a Band-Aid … there’s just so much more to be done,”said Meherally.

When asked what can be done, Dhanji and Meherally said educating people is key.

“Unless people are angry about it, make noise and push for action … that’s the only way we will see change,” Meherally said.

The women urge anyone wanting to help to write to their local MP and push them to do something.

“The more people that decide to take action, the bigger the effect,” Meheral-

Jr. Rebels climb B.C. charts

Burnaby South girls lock up berth to provincials

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby South Rebels proved their ranking among the top-10 junior girls basketball teams in B.C. was well deserved by going out and winning the program’s Rebels Classic tournament on the weekend.

In the three-game series, the Rebels crossed paths with a pair of ranked rivals, including in the final where they edged W.J. Mouat 55-52.

Led by tourney MVP Laini Glover, Burnaby found a seam trailing by one with just a minute remaining and took command, pulling out a three-point win.

Glover, who scored 12 points in the first three quarters, proved to be a force and was supported by stellar efforts from Zyre Aspiras, Kirsten Cajalne and Daya Segal.

“It was a battle, the whole tournament,” said coach Steve Glover. “We had lost one of our best players early in the second game, so it was a battle from the first half of that game right through.”

Against No. 10-ranked Mouat, Aspiras tallied eight points over the first half.

In the semifinal, the Rebels bested No. 14-ranked Earl Marriott 45-36, with Cajalne counting eight points. But in that contest, two-way threat Awek Deng was injured, forcing other players into different roles.

The opportunity was met with some standout support from Segal, who took over part of Deng’s role, while Laini Glover set a tone with steals at timely moments in the final.

“It was a great development weekend for us as they stepped up as a team,” remarked the coach.

The Rebels opened the tourney by beating W.L. Seaton 6229, where Glover tallied 14 points and six rebounds.

Undefeated in league play, the squad had made the provincials a goal from the start.

“We wanted to make it to B.C.s and be the best team we could be,” said Steve Glover.

“We knew if we keep our focus and work hard, we could make it there.”

Burnaby South is looking forward to the Holy Cross tournament in early February as preparation for the playoffs.

Bulldogs edge Argyle in 3-A showdown Well-rounded effort sees No. 1-ranked Byrne Creek emerge as Chancellor champions

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Extra work proved extra sweet for the Byrne Creek Bulldogs.

The senior boys basketball team faced a tough test last weekend but came out with a confidence-affirming win, beating Argyle 88-78 in overtime at the St.Thomas More Chancellor tournament final.

Led by a 40-point performance from senior guard Martin Djunga, the Bulldogs survived a mercurial game of streaks, cashing in the crucial tying bucket with 16 seconds left, then storming out in overtime to win by 10.

It was some slick work by guard Sufi Ahmed that led to the tying bucket, stealing the ball and feeding the six-foot-two Djunga who carried it to the hoop.Then the defence held firm until the buzzer sounded, cueing an extra 10-minute session where the Burnaby school took control. “(Argyle is) a big, tough, tough team full of football players who are very well coached,” noted Byrne head coach Bal Dhillon. “It was two ranked teams going at each other and that’s what it should look like. I think it was entertaining for the fans – it wasn’t for me until the end.”

Both teams took turns spinning a nice run during regulation, some

final is slated for 5 p.m. Saturday.

Also competing are Burnaby North, Richmond, Langley, L.A. Matheson and Rick Hansen.

Dhillon said he’s very pleased at the progress since early December and how the defence has taken shape in recent games.

“For us it was just to keep doing what we were doing and control the rebounding.We felt confident that if we did that, we had a good chance of coming out on top,” he said of the STM final.

To get where they want to be come March, they will continue to test themselves against some tough competition, while winding down league play over the next few weeks, including Burnaby Mountain (Jan. 22), New West (Jan. 24), and a highly anticipated match against Burnaby South (Jan. 29).

Sandwich the Robert Bateman tournament in there, and Byrne Creek has a lot of intense hoop action on its plate.

But the way they’ve been playing, the Bulldogs have all they need to survive such a schedule.

“Sufi (Ahmed) has been playing great, Bithow Wan, Majok Deng, Titgol Jok and all the guys coming off the bench,” Dhillon added.

“Afterwards the guys were feeling like, ‘This is a team win, the team won this tournament.’That’s a good feeling when that happens.”

Howley strides for personal best

Showing mid-season form, Simon Fraser University distance runners Julia Howley and Miryam Bassett cracked the top 15 at the season-opening University of Washington Indoor Track Preview last week.

Howley set a personal best by finishing the 3,000metre race in 9:32.78, good for 12th overall in a pack that included U.S. record holder Shalane Flanagan.

The SFU senior’s time is the fastest in NCAA Div. 2 this season, and was the sixth fastest in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history. Howley’s time was also just 3.5 seconds shy of the qualifying time for NCAA Div. 2 nationals.

Bassett, meanwhile, was in fine form in placing 19th, with a time of 9:53.87. Both Howley and Bassett earned All-American status after leading SFU’s 10th-place showing at the cross-country national championships two months ago.

SFU hosts Vikes The Simon Fraser University men’s hockey team is looking at keeping the winning streak going in 2018, as they host the UVic Vikes on Friday.

SFU, who at 9-5 sits third overall in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, plays UVic with a 7 p.m. faceoff at Bill Copeland Arena.

On the men’s side, Rowan Doherty posted a personal best of 8:20.90 and 15th overall, while senior Oliver Jorgensen finished

19th in his first indoor race in two years. Jorgensen’s time was 8:24.04.

Also setting personal bests at the meet were ham-

mer thrower Peter Behncke, with a toss of 16.51 metres, and freshman shot putter Holly Taylor, with a 13.25m throw.

The proposal consists of two residential towers at 14 and 20 storeys respectively, and 3-storey townhomes fronting University Crescent. The development will include 186 apartments and 14 townhomes. The design reflects sitespecific guidelines and the comprehensive development zoning for all lots in Phase 3 of UniverCity’s East Neighbourhood Plan.

Liberty Homes will be holding a Public Open House to introduce the development proposal and gather feedback from the community.

Date: Wednesday January 24th, 2018 Time: 4:30pm to 6:30pm Location: Lobby, SFU Community Trust Suite 130, 8960 University High St. Burnaby, BC
