A CLOSER LOOK: THE CHANGING CITY

FOR SALE?:

Rick McGowan, a condo owner in Metrotown, says he’s received mail from developers encouraging him to talk to his strata about selling.

Tony Gioventu, the executive director of the Condominium Home Owners Association of B.C., is encouraging owners to ‘stick together’ as a strata and sell collectively, not individually, in order to get the best bang for their buck.

Condo owners in Metrotown shouldn’t rush to sell despite high property assessments and a recent mass rezoning of the neighbourhood.

That’s the advice of Tony Gioventu, the executive director of the

Condominium Home Owners Association of B.C., who said a number of association members from Metrotown have been approached by developers.

“There is economic pressure in the sense that, if you’re an attractive piece of property with an attractive location, with a higher density bump, somebody’s going

to come along and at some point offer you some money you can’t refuse,” he told the NOW. Gioventu said stratas need to “stick together” and sell as a whole, rather than individually.

He said owners are likely to get at least 50 per cent more for the value of their property if they sell as a collective. (In B.C., strata cor-

“The broker can’t be representing developers or other parties. If the agreement is not exclusive, go to someone else.That’s happening a lot. It’s happening much more frequently than anybody realizes,” said Gioventu.

Burnaby Hospital excluded from B.C. budget Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby councillor is pleased a senior government has stepped up on housing but is disappointed Tuesday’s provincial budget did not include money for a new Burnaby Hospital.

During the 2017 election campaign, Premier John Horgan held a press conference just outside the hospital grounds to announce, if elected, an NDP government would fix up Burnaby

Hospital and then spend $2.1 billion to build a new one elsewhere in the city.

But when Finance Minister Carole James handed down the 2018 budget Tuesday, Burnaby Hospital was not included in its long-term capital plan.

“We’re very concerned with that,” said Coun. Sav Dhaliwal. “One of our major asks of this government is to start the building of the new hospital, or at least tell us what their plans are.

“We met with the MLAs a

few weeks ago, and regrettably that didn’t get into this cycle of the budget announcement. But I believe the message has gone through.We heard back from a couple of MLAs that, yeah, the (health) ministry is working very seriously at some of the priorities they are making they haven’t finalized yet. So we’re keeping our fingers crossed on that one.We’re not going to let that go.We’ll be back at our MLAs. Burnaby Hospital is important, and we need to get that rebuilt.”

But, he admitted, the city will remain concerned until something definitive is announced.

Former B.C. Liberal Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee said not including the project is an indication the party has gone back on its election promise.

“I believe so, otherwise the new hospital should have been in the three-year plan,” said Lee. “The list of the hospitals included Royal Columbian Hospital (New Westminster), also Peace Arch (White Rock). All those hospitals are

there, so I don’t think they have any intention of fulfilling those promises for Burnaby Hospital.”

In 2016, the B.C. Liberal government announced a concept plan to rebuild key facilities at the hospital. It was supposed to be the first step toward funding the first phase of its master site plan, which was completed more than five years ago and pegged the cost at $622 million.The Liberals re-announced the plan just before last year’s election campaign, and, at Continued on page 8

Pet owners warned after coyote snatches pup officer Lonnie Schoenthal told the NOW. While it’s not unheard of for coyotes to pick off small pets, the behaviour is a concern in urban areas, according to Schoenthal.

“When we have a coyote who’s taken a pet, we’re potentially dealing with a coyote who may continue that behaviour,” he said.

The actions could escalate into the coyote trying to take down larger animals, but attacks on humans are

Conservation officers are urging local residents to beware of coyotes after a small dog was snatched from a front yard in Burnaby Monday.

The coyote grabbed the dog from a yard on Greystone Drive near Squint Lake Park in the early evening hours after the pet had been let out to “do its business,” conservation

very rare, and even an attack on a child would be very unlikely, according to Schoenthal.

“You’d have to leave a baby unattended and then the coyote might consider it,” he said.

Once a coyote has made a habit of snatching cats and small dogs, it’s difficult for conservation officers to identify the exact animal responsible, so more than one coyote might end up being destroyed to deal with the

You’d have to leave a baby unattended and then the coyote might consider it

problem, according Schoenthal.

To avoid that outcome, and to keep pets safe, he’s

urging residents to keep coyotes from getting too comfortable with humans.

“A lot of the times, the reason a coyote becomes so brazen is because someone is feeding coyotes in the area,” he said. “They’re making the coyote feel comfortable around humans, and that’s not what we want to do.”

Tips for co-existing harmoniously with coyotes in urban areas include not sending pets out alone into

yards, keeping pets leashed during walks and never feeding or approaching coyotes. Anyone observing an aggressive coyote should report it to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service’s 24hour RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) hotline at 1-877-952-7277.

RCMP officers cleared of wrongdoing in pellet-gun death sight of someone sitting in the driver’s seat of a car in a parking lot in the 200 block of Willingdon Avenue at about 4 a.m., according to an RCMP press release at the time.

According to a report by the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) released Tuesday, an officer tapped on the window of the idling car to get the attention of the driver who reported-

B.C.’s police watchdog has cleared RCMP officers of wrongdoing in the death of a man near the Eileen Dailly recreation centre in Burnaby just before Christmas.

Officers had been responding to an unrelated complaint in the area on Dec. 20, when they caught

ly squinted at the officer’s flashlight.

The officer retreated and called for backup, however, when he spotted a rifle on the man’s lap, according to the IIO report.

RCMP addressed the man several time using a public address system but got no response; however, movement was seen inside the vehicle as late as 5:39 a.m., according to witnesses.

2018 UTILITY CHARGES AND GARBAGE DISPOSAL FEES DUE MARCH 15

After getting the man’s cell phone number from his family, the RCMP’s emergency response team (ERT) made 22 attempts to contact him, according to the IIO. The ERT moved in just after 7:20 a.m., setting off a flash bang as a distraction, breaking the side windows and pepper-spraying the man.

Officers found him dead

inside the vehicle, according to the IIO report.

An autopsy revealed he had died of a single pellet gunshot wound to the head and there was no other evidence of harm.

IIO director Ronald J. MacDonald concluded there was no indication officers fired their weapons, and the only force used was the flash bang and pepper spray.

“Given the potential risks the officers faced, their actions throughout were understandable and appropriate,” states his report.

MacDonald concluded there was no evidence officers committed any offence during the incident and there were no grounds to consider charges.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

What the world needs now is compassion Is it just us, or does it feel to anyone else like the world is raging?

Everywhere you turn, it seems anger is on the rise.

Anger and judgment and blame and a refusal – or inability – to even attempt to walk that proverbial mile in another person’s shoes.

It’s as though we’re all collectively so overwhelmed by the problems facing our planet, our country, our city, our families, that we simply

can’t find it in our hearts to respond with compassion and empathy.

Yes, some of this rage is warranted – and, in many cases, long overdue. Much of the rage we are seeing is fury that has at last been unleashed after far too many decades of silence.

Yes, we should be raging about racism, about the treatment of Indigenous Canadians, about sexual harassment and exploi-

tation and misogyny in all its forms.We should be raging about violence against women, about mass shootings of innocent children, about poverty and homelessness, about homophobia and transphobia.

But raging against the power structures that have oppressed far too many for far too long is a different sort of rage than the everyday anger that makes life unpleasant – if not down-

right unsafe – for everyone.

We’re talking about the road rage of drivers who simply can’t wait their turn in a traffic jam or who can’t resist jamming on the brakes to try to send a message to the tailgater behind them.

We’re talking about the rage of the social media commenter who cannot pause for a moment to concede that maybe the other guy in the argument might actually have a point.

We’re talking about the harsh judgment of the onlooker who sees a small child’s tantrum and chooses to film it and share it on social media with judgmental commentary about how parents these days are falling down on the job.

And so on, and so on, and so on.

Have we really so badly lost our way? Have the world’s burdens simply become so heavy that we as

a society can no longer find the good in the world around us?

Please, Burnaby, prove us wrong.When you go out into the world today, try to respond to life’s everyday problems with kindness.

Save your rage for the big stuff – and, better yet, channel that rage into action for change.

We know there’s hope for the planet.We just need to find it again.

MY VIEW MICHAELA MCGUIRE

Indigenous, female and ready to take action

Indigenous peoples have been socially constructed as less than human, thus giving colonial governments, general society and the media the power to treat us as if we don’t matter.

I see it in their faces when they walk by our fallen brothers and sisters and so easily turn a blind eye. As if we were the scum on the bottom of their shoes.These poor souls who are struggling to get by because their ancestors were assaulted, murdered and pillaged of their lands.

They spew words of reconciliation as if we have something to reconcile.

It’s easier for them to pretend that didn’t happen.

They spew words of reconciliation as if we have something to reconcile. As if their false promises, photo ops and payouts will heal our collective wounds and their collective guilt.

Yet they continue to ignore our land claims, title cases and the over-representation of Indigenous people at every stage of the justice, foster and health-care systems. As our people continue to starve and live inThird World conditions without power and clean drinking

water, they claim reconciliation.They spew words of hate and pity and never look beyond the surface to understand our collective pain and anger.

I felt the Colten Boushie verdict like a stab through the heart. I feel for his family; he could have been my friend.Tina Fontaine became less than human in the public’s eyes when they portrayed her as at fault for her own brutal murder.

Simply being born Indigenous and female in Canada increases the risk of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and going missing or being murdered. If I were to go missing, my life would be reduced to a statistic; I would become another missing or murdered Indigenous woman.

The GoFundMe campaign supporting Gerald Stanley acts as a reminder of this country’s blatant racism and disrespect for Indigenous peoples and families, just as the lack of action on missing and murdered women illustrates the construction of Indigenous women as the immoral other who are somehow deserving of harm.

They tried to eradicate the Indian problem, and they failed. Let’s show them we’re still here.Today is a day for action.We must look inside of ourselves and see what we can do.

I hope my friends and non-Indigenous allies will join me in channelling their anger into action. Now is not the time for silence.

Opinionnow ‘Heartlessness’ has created a crisis in city

social housing crisis.

Thank you, and keep up the excellent articles.

Earl Pollitt, Burnaby

Dear Editor: Re: They have forgotten why we elected them, My View, by Pat Tracy, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 2.

Thank you for your excellent article calling to task Mayor Derek Corrigan and city council. He obviously is unable to deal with constructive criticism, and, after being in office for 27 years, he should have that ability by now.

In my opinion, the whole council and mayor are not listening – only to those who have tons of money, like the developers.

They are creating a social housing crisis by allowing the developers to do whatever they want.

Of course they will say they have to follow due process. Many are affected in Burnaby, losing their homes because three-storey buildings are being torn down for huge highrises. Over 3,000 units are being lost and torn down, creating approximately 6,000 Burnaby renters to not be able to afford to rent in the Metrotown area, the large area from Royal Oak to Boundary.

Corrigan pushed through the downtown Metrotown plan just before they went on vacation last July. They have no heart or care for the people they represent.

I am disgusted at his heartlessness in creating homelessness. Burnaby is the only municipality to not have a homeless shelter.

Burnaby will be better off with another party in power, as this administration is not listening, especially in the Metrotown area, creating a

How do you explain pipeline to seniors?

Dear Editor: An open letter to MP Terry Beech: What do you say to seniors in a retirement home who are worried by the thoughts of the Kinder Morgan pipeline in their neighbourhood?

How do you explain that, by tripling the capacity of a tank farm they can see from their building and that has a one in a million chance of endangering their grandchildren’s adjacent elementary school and their families’ lives in nearby subdivisions, you are improving their safety? They will see the plume of toxic smoke approaching before they are to be emergency evacuated.

What words can describe how vastly increasing the CO2 emissions from the Alberta tar sands can protect their great-grandchildren from the disastrous effects of climate change?

Can you patiently tell them that, by increasing by the hundreds the number of tankers carrying poisonous toxic sludge to Asia through the Salish Sea, you are actually protecting our precious oceans?

They may be listening quietly and not angrily carrying placards in the street, but they are still scared and deserve an explanation.

They may be elderly, but they are not stupid.

Citynow City councillor lauds budget’s commitment to housing Continued from page 3 the same time, added an $8.8-million upgrade of various important parts of the hospital.

Lee believes the Liberals’ plan would have been a more cost-effective solution.

“That master plan has been studied by Fraser Health in detail, and they actually proposed that (up-

grade).This is the most effective use of that particular funding,” said Lee. The NDP’s commitment, he added, was unrealistic.

“It’s $2.1 billion. I still remember when I saw that (in April 2017). ‘Wow, that’s a big investment. It’s good that they can do it.’ But since then it has vapourized.

It’s not there.”

After serving four terms, Lee was ousted by the NDP’s Janet Routledge in last May’s election. He’s not sure if the NDP’s promise swayed the electorate in Burnaby, but he doesn’t dismiss the suggestion.

“It’s difficult to do the assessment,” said Lee. “The people saw the news, and they probably made some

decision regarding the hospital believing that they actually promised to deliver a new hospital, so that could have impacted their decision to see which candidate to support.”

On the housing front, Dhaliwal liked the province’s commitment of $1.6 billion over three years as part of a 10-year, $6.6 bil-

“Local governments do not have the capacity to make any meaningful change to the housing crisis,” said Dhaliwal. “The

best solution was for the other two levels of government to get together and really spend massive amount of funds, so to hear they’re going to at least try to build over 100,000 units over the next 10 years, that’s pretty good.That’s wonderful news.”

Considering selling your condo? Take your time: expert Continued from page 1 “You need to make sure your broker’s agreement and your agreements for sale with your developer are very well reviewed by your legal representative who is experienced with dealing with this,” he added. “I’ve come across a few lawyers who are dabbling in this, and they’re not doing a great job. Find someone who has been doing liquidations and who knows the ins and outs of this process.”

There’s no rush either, he said.

“Sure, market values and property conditions will change, but when we have a high-density area, you’re going to have premium property.Take your time.”

Last July, Burnaby city council passed the controversial Metrotown Downtown Plan.

The plan – an update to the 1977 version – aims to create Burnaby’s first-ever downtown and has changed the land-use framework to allow for more density.

Housing critics have argued replacing lowrise walkups with towers will displace thousands of people who can’t afford to rent in the new buildings.

The city has maintained it’s planning for future growth and that many of the lowrises are nearing their end of life.

Rick McGowan, a strong opponent of the downtown plan, owns two condos in Metrotown.

He uses one as his primary residence and rents the other one.

Right after the plan was adopted, McGowan said every owner in his rental building got mail from developer CBRE, urging them to talk to the strata about selling.

“Prior to that, you got

things from Realtors saying they’ll sell your property really quickly. So many Realtors are even interested in the property themselves that they’ll tell you, ‘Oh, I’ll buy your property if it doesn’t sell,’” said McGowan.

The Burnaby resident is fearful many Metrotown owners are unaware of their property’s value and how the downtown plan has changed things.

“Every time I bring it up to someone, they’re either not aware of it or they don’t fully comprehend what they’re entitled to,” he said.

According to Gioventu, one of the key questions condo owners need to ask themselves before voting to wind up is whether it’s enough money – enough money to relocate in the area or move elsewhere.

“That’s one of the questions that people in strata communities are not asking because they’re getting all these sale pitches,” he said.

When asked about how many stratas have sold in Metrotown in the last few years, Gioventu couldn’t say.

He said the association has that information on file but it’s only used for internal purposes.

He said there’s been “a little bit of a plateau” in Metrotown.

“There certainly will be more that will sell, but really what it comes down to is – what is the right amount of money for a community to consider (the sale)?

There have been a lot who have said, ‘No, the money’s not good enough.The terms aren’t good enough.We’re not interested right now.’”

The more “insidious side” of strata real estate, noted Gioventu, is when a developer comes in, buys the majority of the units and starts

pushing for a sale.

This is where the courts come in. After passing a resolution to terminate, a strata corporation must apply to the B.C. Supreme Court for an order confirming termination. “(The) court process is absolutely essential to make sure maximum value for the

benefit of this community to vote on it has actually been reached,” he said.

The year 2017 was a record-breaking one for construction in Burnaby.The city handed out $1.05 billion worth of building permits, an increase from the $819 million in 2016.The second-best year was in

2015, at $879 million.

Of the 1,649 permits, 54 per cent went toward multifamily construction, followed by single-family construction and commercial construction.

According to the Goodman Report, 18 apartment buildings were sold last year in Burnaby (a total of $397

million). Most of them were in Metrotown, with 16 of them going to developers of condo highrises.The average price of a unit in 2017 was $551,000, a 66 per cent increase compared to $332,000 in 2016.

Cameron students roll with wheelchair b-ball Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Students at a Burnaby elementary school got a chance to try out how some of their fellow students roll during an annual unit of wheelchair basketball last week (Feb. 15).

For three years, Cameron Elementary Grade 5/6 teacher Rosemary Venos has arranged the rental of 10 wheelchairs from B.C. Wheelchair Basketball so students at her school can

try their hand at the sport.

“It’s about inclusion, number 1, and understanding different perspectives, having students realize what it’s like to be in a wheelchair, yet in a fun environment,”Venos said.

She launched the initiative three years ago after her son Thomas was paralyzed from the hips down in a dirt bike accident two days before his 16th birthday.

He has since become Canada’s top-ranked junior in wheelchair tennis, but

based on their functional ability, with a player with the highest disability classified as a 1 and a non-disabled player classified as a 4.5 (or a 5 in Europe).

Each player is assigned a classification (from 1 to 4.5)

look forward to every year, she said.

But it’s more than fun and games.

Besides introducing students to challenging new skills on the court, the unit also gives able-bodied kids an important glimpse into the perspective of their wheelchair-using counterparts, according to Venos.

“It makes them aware of the challenges people in wheelchairs face on a daily basis,” she said. “Like, the ball will roll off the court into the change room, for example, and the wheelchair won’t fit into the change room.”

Heights merchants set to usher in a new year MOVERS & SHAKERS

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Usher in theYear of the Dog in the Heights this weekend.

On Saturday, Feb. 24 join lion dancers as they parade down Hastings Street between Gamma and Boundary performing special blessings for businesses in the Heights.

The Lunar NewYear celebration is an annual tradition hosted by the Heights Merchants Association. In addition to the lion dancers, there will also be live music and dancing. Shoppers who stop by will have a chance to win a gift certificate with lucky fortune cookies and red envelopes.

For more information, go to www.burnabyheights. com/news/lunar-new-year.

GET SHOPPING With online grocery shopping on the rise, one Toronto company is hoping to cash in on the Burnaby market.

InstaBuggy launched in Burnaby and the Lower Mainland late last year and gives shoppers access to their favourite grocery and speciality stores in their area (including Costco – no membership needed).

Shoppers choose what items they need, and everything is delivered to their door in an hour or so, according to a company press release.

Stop by for manicures, massages, shoe shines, a live DJ and other extras

The company was founded in 2015 in Toronto and aims to save people time as InstaBuggy does the shopping for them – delivery drivers pick up and deliver the groceries to the shoppers’ homes. Drivers deliver between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. Monday to Friday, and

9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekends, depending on store hours.

There is a fee for using the service. Customers pay a $20 picking, packing and delivery fee, and there is an additional $10 fee for multiple store pickups.

For more information, go to www.instabuggy.com.

FUN AT BRENTWOOD Have you been to Brentwood Town Centre lately?

Yes, there’s quite a bit of construction taking place around the mall, but inside there’s a lot of fun to be had.

Back for another year is Feel Good Fridays, happening every Friday from noon to 2 p.m. in the food court.

Stop by for manicures, massages, shoe shines, a live DJ and other extras that vary week to week. (Services vary weekly, too.)

Communitynow Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated? editorial@burnabynow.com

Have you ever come across a recipe with an ingredient you didn’t recognize?What did you do then?

Did you then go on a wild goose chase or just passed on the recipe altogether and moved on to a different one?

I guess it would depend on how obscure the ingredient was.

I understand the answer on the internet is only a few clicks away, but one of my pet peeves is when I come across a recipe that doesn’t lend itself to the average home chef.The culinary landscape has changed over the last number of years and will continue to do so, and I also understand the desire for chefs writing these recipes to fill a niche in the market.

However, even more so, I believe these recipes should be meant to inspire the average home chef by providing descriptions or alternative ingredient suggestions. As a recipe writer myself, I want

I don’t think the problem lies with the markets, but with the recipe creators.

The one writing the recipe should include an explanation of any ingredient that may not be recognizable by the average person, and, in this specific case, also maybe suggest a substitution of North American green beans.

Another view is the marketing aspect of recipes.

A recipe may sound more gourmet if the title of the recipe is called “a bisque” instead of a soup, “a demiglaze” instead of a gravy, or even “haricots vert almondine” instead of green beans with almonds.This doesn’t excuse, however, that the actual ingredient list or the instructions of the recipe can’t be easy to understand.

What would be the harm in that? If anything, it would make the recipe more approachable and more people would make it, and if the recipe was any good, they would then share it with others. Passing the culinary success of a chef’s recipe on to others is never a bad thing; in fact, one could say

What’s in a name?: Are they green beans or haricots vert? And does it matter?

Chef Dez argues in favour of making recipes clear and accessible for all chefs.

PHOTO ISTOCK

it was good marketing.

I chose to focus on haricots vert in this column because it is something that can be easily substituted for.

Green beans are definitely not as obscure as other ingredients I have seen such as: sweetbreads (animal glands), foie gras (duck or goose liver), or veal cheeks (self-explanatory, but not of the gluteus maximus variety).

Let’s get back to basics and just make recipes

and food that tastes good.

By this, I don’t mean that we should all be subject to making meatloaf, chicken breasts, and macaroni and cheese the rest of our lives.

I think we should all expand our culinary horizons and boundaries within our means.

I think we, as chefs and recipe creators, should have it in our visions to include people from all walks of culinary skills in the process of our recipe writing to make

it easier for everyone to delve further into the culinary arts.

Lastly, I feel compelled to mention that this is just my opinion, and opinions are like taste buds – everybody has them. Now, excuse me, as I am off to make some “macaroni au fromage” for my children.

ON COOKING

to make sure my recipes are approachable by people of all levels of culinary skills.

Before I continue, let me give you an example. I came across a recipe in a magazine recently for a side dish with one of the ingredients listed as “haricots vert.”

Now because of my experience as a chef, and since I know a bit of French, I realize that these are green beans.Why don’t they just list these as green beans? Is it because it sounds fancier, more gourmet perhaps, by listing them as ‘haricots vert’?”The answer is not that simple: haricots vert are French green beans.They are longer and thinner than their North American counterpart.

I myself have never seen the label “haricots vert” at my local grocery store or even at specialty produce markets where I live. I have seen, however, green beans that were very thin and long but still labelled as green beans on the bin.Were these actually green beans or haricots vert in disguise due to inept personnel in the produce section?

Bulldogs bite into B.C. berth with semifinal win

Byrne Creek faces McMath in Lower Mainland final, while three other Burnaby schools face elimination

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

When you talk ancient history, for many, it means Greek scholars, silent films or gas under a dollar a litre.

For Byrne Creek Bulldogs’ head coach Bal Dhillon, it’s an early December game at the Langley Events Centre.

When he considers that game against the McMath Wildcats, there is nothing he feels could apply to today.

That’s because Byrne Creek and McMath lock horns once more, tonight (Friday, 6:15 p.m.) in the Lower Mainland senior boys 3-A basketball final at the Richmond Oval.

What ever happened 10 weeks ago – and it was a 109-63 victory for the Bulldogs – might as well be from a dog-eared scrapbook.

“It’s hard to gauge a team in a game like that. It was months ago,” said Dhillon, after his team had bested Richmond 90-69 to clinch a berth to next month’s

B.C. championships. “Both teams are very different now and we’ll see what happens.They’re tough; they’re very good.

“McMath has a lot of size, (Grade 10 Victor Radocaj) who’s six-foot-nine, some bigger guards, guys who can shoot, and they’re well-coached.They’ve got it all.”

Byrne Creek had it all in the semifinal win over Richmond on Wednesday.They opened the game with a 20-point run and held the host squad to eight points in the first quarter.

Martin Djunga counted a gamehigh 27 points, while Sufi Ahmed notched 24, and Majok Deng added 21. Chipping in with a double-double – with 12 rebounds and 11 assists – was Bithow Wan. A win over McMath would secure Byrne Creek its second straight Mainland title.

“I don’t need to motivate my guys – it’s a final,” said Dhillon.

“They know how good McMath is, and if we’re not motivated we’re going to get our butts kicked.”

The other 3-A Burnaby school,

St.Thomas More, kept its hopes alive for a B.C. berth by beating Magee 55-48 on Wednesday.

On the 4-A Lower Mainland stage, the Burnaby South Rebels suffered their first setback of the tourney, falling 85-82 to St. George’s in the semifinal.

It was a grinding battle, as the Rebels erased a seven-point deficit in the second quarter, exiting the half with a 40-34 lead. But St. George’s kept rallying and pulled out a three-point win to lock up a Continued on page 29

Grandview grounded by Ice Hawks Underdog Steelers see season end on a pair of one-goal losses

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Like the Canadian women’s hockey team, the Grandview Steelers know what it’s like to lose a close game.

And while their loss didn’t come in an Olympic gold medal final shootout, the Steelers’ season came to a close on Sunday in a 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Delta Ice Hawks.

It may have had none of the gravitas of that Olympic final, but there was a finality to it that, at least for the 20-year-olds on Grandview, was heavy and painful.

It marked a four-game sweep at the hands of the regular season champions, who outscored the Steelers 14-6 over the Pacific Junior B Hockey League quarter-final series.

“We played some good hockey and kept it close in our rink,” remarked coach Stevan Matic. “But to play them tough in two onegoal games, we still couldn’t get on the right side of it.”

In Sunday’s contest, Grandview grabbed a lead late in the first on markers from 20-yearolds Jeffrey Wong and Brodie Crawford. Delta replied with two swift tallies to start the second frame, but Wong’s second of the night on a powerplay evened it out 3-3 with a period to play.

A shorthanded goal by Gary Dhaliwal midway through the third gave the Ice Hawks a lead they would protect.

It was a similar story for Grandview two days earlier in a 2-1 loss, where Mateo Coltellaro scored in the second period to make it 1-0.

Delta countered with two of their own, the winner coming with 5:47 left in regulation.

“It’s unfortunate that our powerplay wasn’t more effective down the stretch,” said Matic.

“One more goal either night could have kept the series going.”

It was the final game for seven 20 year olds, including Nico Bruno, Ian Prevost and Wong.

Matic said the organization will roll up its sleeves in the next few months to recruit for 2018-19.

Hold up now: The Burnaby Devils’ Max Miller, at right, pursues a PoCo ball carrier during early round action at the under-18 field lacrosse provincial tournament, held two weeks ago at Burnaby Lakes.

Underdog Devils nab u18 field silver It was a field day – literally – for the Burnaby Devils field lacrosse program.

The club witnessed a silver medal and a pair of fourthplace finishes at the B.C. provincial championships, held two weeks ago in Burnaby.

Leading the way was the boys under-18 Devils, who doggedly scratched out a berth into the tier 2 finals, before falling 17-8 to Mission.

After finishing the roundrobin portion of the tourney with a 3-1 record, rolling up victories of 9-5 over the Adanacs, 13-7 over PoCo and 9-8 over Victoria, the team ran out of gas against Mission, which had earlier slipped past Burnaby 9-8 in the opening game of

the tourney.

The Devils’ route into the provincials was a well-travelled one, as they finished the regular season in sixth place with a 7-81 record.They needed a clutch wild-card win over Kamloops to secure the B.C. berth.

Finishing fourth in girls under-15 play, the Devils gave Ridge Meadows a good run for

their money before succumbing 11-9.

Burnaby dropped the tourney’s first game, 12-5 to Ridge, tied Surrey 7-7 and fell 6-5 to the other Surrey squad.Their lone win was 10-9 over New Westminster.

The club also recorded a fourth-place result in under-12 girls tier 2 play, nearly upset-

ting the Adanacs in a 3-2 loss to wrap it up.Their lone win of the tourney came against Mid Island, who they doubled 8-4.

The Burnaby u13 tier 1 Devils went winless over three games.

A week prior, the Burnaby u11 boys placed fourth in the White division, dropping a 7-4 decision to the Adanacs.

Sinclair leads Canada in Portugal

Christine Sinclair, Julia Grosso and Jordyn Huitema lead the local charge as the Canadian women’s soccer team enters the Algarve Cup, an annual international tournament in Portugal.

Sinclair, the long-time captain of the Canadian team, holds the national record with 169 goals in 262 games. One of the 34-year-old’s first tourna-

ments for Canada was the 2000 Algarve Cup. Grosso and Huitema, meanwhile, are part of an influx of under-20 players. Both were part of the Vancouver Whitecaps’ FC Elite program, where students attended Burnaby Central Secondary and trained at Burnaby Lake West.

The tourney runs Feb. 28 to March 7.

Duo medal in debut

The dance duo of Miku Makita and Tyler Gunara took their first international assignment and found a bronze lining.

The skaters finished third at the Egna Dance Trophy competition in Italy earlier this month.

It was the first time the pair – who train at the Burnaby-based Champs International Skating Academy of B.C. – had represented Canada abroad. And while they briefly held second place, and were disappointed to slide away from silver, the overall experience was a promising debut.

“It wasn’t one of our greatest performances,” Gunara, who calls Burnaby home, said. “But we still

learned a lot about ourselves for next season. Still, to win a medal at our first international event felt pretty good.”

They sat second overall after two pattern dances, but were edged out for silver by Ontario’s Nadiia Bashynska and Peter Beaumont, after the free dance.

“We are happy with the medal but disappointed in our skating,” noted 14-year-old Makita. “Our free dance didn’t go as planned and I think we learned some valuable lessons.”

In January, Makita and Gunara placed second at the Canadian Tire national championships’ novice competition.

Burnaby teams stay alive

Continued from page 28 B.C. berth and a shot in the regional final.

Burnaby South now faces crosstown rival the Burnaby North Vikings, who staved off elimination by knocking out David Thompson 74-54. In that contest, the Vikings broke open a tight game early in the fourth quarter.

“We got a few big stops in a row, hit a few clutch baskets and just

solid the rest of the way,” noted North coach Chris Dahan.

Vittorio Solda set the tone with 26 points and 15 rebounds, while Justen Chau contributed 20 points.

The winner of Thursday’s Rebels-Vikings game (played after NOW deadline) will take on the winner between New West and Kitsilano on Friday, 4:30 p.m., in the third-place game. All games are at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Amma was our sunshine.

She sang “I was born about ten thousand years ago, there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know”.

She was extraordinary, she was a cheeky monkey, we adored her.

7%F(( M3.-M>M$.)A .3<L.&<$. AM2.@ =9BBB6

She loved to sing, dance, have fun and eat chocolate but every day she made sure she made someone else’s day a little brighter.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Janet, Diane and Karen, her “precious little darlings” Patricia (granddaughter) and Christopher (grandson) and very close cousins, nephews and nieces. Amma was predeceased much too early by her beloved husband Murdo Thompson and son-in-law Doug Webb, and outlived many close friends and relatives including her dear friend and sister-in-law Katie McAskill.

Amma was of proud Icelandic decent and born on December 15, 1924 in Lundar, Manitoba. She often told people she was named after Thor, the God of Thunder. She grew up in Lundar, as a strong prairie woman, and moved to Winnipeg and then Vancouver in 1953 where she met and married Murdo. They made their home in North Burnaby. She spent her last days at Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby where she had volunteered for decades and where her name is on wall for her years of service. She had been Burnaby’s Star Volunteer more than once.

Amma resonated selflessness, compassion and kindness with a twinkle in her eye and a heavy dose of mischief. She turned strangers into friends and even when over ninety with a failing memory, reached out to others and was a warm and engaging conversationalist with a great sense of humour.

You will always be in our hearts and in our pockets.

Amma always wanted to “put up a party” and that is what we will do for her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on March 3 at 2 p.m. at First Lutheran Church 5745 Wales, Vancouver.

Please wear something blue.
