History comes alive for these students By Mario Bartel

The stories Elita Chan’s parents told her of their immigration from China to Canada have become real for her. It happened when the Grade 10 student at Burnaby North Secondary School got off the train at Port Moody station with only a suitcase and checked in at the immigration desk.The contents of the suitcase and the life they represent belonged to a fictional character, but the experience echoed the authentic arrival of so many new Canadians, including the families of Chan and her classmates in Mia Lehtonen’s social studies art enriched class. The students collaborated with Port Moody’s Station Museum to recreate the experience of immigrants arriving by rail to start a new life in the city in the early part of the 20th century. The suitcases packed with belongings, treasures and life stories researched and curated by the students will become part of a new permanent exhibition at the museum called Unpacking
UNPACKING HISTORY:

They were part of a collaboration between Port Moody’s Station Museum and Grade 10 social studies students at Burnaby North Secondary School to recreate the immigrant experience of newcomers to Canada arriving by train in Port Moody.

My Suitcase: Immigration to Canada. Markus Fahrner, the museum’s coordinator, said it’s a particularly important time to share the im-
migrant experience as some countries close inward and fear the intentions of newcomers. “People can wake up and realize there is no dan-
ger,” Fahrner said, adding the suitcase is a particularly powerful metaphor because it’s often all that new immigrants are able to bring with them when they seek a new
life in a new country. “You look into that suitcase and realize there is someone in there who is like you,” Fahrner said. Lehtonen said the proj-
ect gave her students the chance to “live and breathe the experience of immigration” and discover what it Continued on page 4
PUBLIC HEARING
‘City has let us down’ on housing
By Grant Granger
editorial@burnabynow.com
Housing activists and residents unloaded a heaping helping of vitriol on Burnaby city council at a public hearing for a Metrotown
highrise proposal Tuesday night. The hearing was to deal with a rezoning application by Intracorp to build a 32-storey condominium tower between McKay and Silver avenues next to Maywood Park. It will be built on what is now six
single-family lots. But when it is completed, two apartment buildings on Maywood Street containing 31 rental units will be torn down to expand the park, although that’s not expected to happen for at least another five years.
To the 20 or so speakers, if the project gets the go-ahead, it will be another example of Burnaby allowing developers to reduce the city’s affordable rental stock in favour of luxury condos. “There’s been a strong program

‘No significance’ to hospital no-show Health Minister Adrian Dix says Burnaby Hospital replacement project planning not far enough along By Grant Granger
editorial@burnabynow.com
There’s “absolutely no significance” a new Burnaby Hospital was not included in last week’s provincial budget, according to Health Minister Adrian Dix. Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal and Richard Lee, former B.C. Liberal MLA for Burnaby North, expressed concern last week that the replacement wasn’t included. That was particularly worrisome, they said, because days before the provincial election in May 2017, Premier John Horgan committed an NDP government to building one. But plans aren’t far enough along to be in the budget’s list of capital projects, said Dix. He told the NOW hospital capital projects have never been announced in budgets until all the details and dollars have been determined, approved and sent out to tender. Dix said that a week before the budget he announced approvals for
new hospitals in Williams Lake and Terrace, but neither was included in the budget because the planning wasn’t far enough along. Similar questions to those raised by Dhaliwal and Lee were being asked of him in those places as well as Richmond, Vancouver (St. Paul’s) and Dawson Creek, and he had the same answer for them. “We’re obviously working hard on business planning there and working hard on the project. John Horgan made real commitments to people in Burnaby during the election campaign, and we’re working to implement those in the best possible way. We are making progress, and we will let people know,” said Dix. “There’s no waiting until next year. We’re working full steam ahead on health care in Burnaby.” To show the process is proceeding, Dix pointed out Fraser Health posted a tender in December for someone to manage the business plan process. He does understand
NOT EXACTLY NEW: Burnaby Hospital was first built in 1952, with upgrades in 1973 and 1977, and local residents have been waiting a long time for news on a new facility.

why a community might get nervous about it not being included in the budget. “It’s fair to say the capital planning process isn’t well understood. Until something is formally approved with specific numbers around it, it doesn’t go in the budget,”
said Dix. “There’s a lot of work that goes into that. “In Burnaby, people have been waiting a long time. They’ve been waiting too long. Everybody knows it. It’s a particular priority of mine, and one we’ll be fully engaged with the people of Burnaby on
… We remain as committed to Burnaby as we ever have.” Burnaby Hospital was built in 1952 with upgrades in 1973 and 1977. “Obviously it’s time (for a new hospital),” said Dix, who is the MLA for Vancouver Kingsway and a
resident of Joyce-Collingwood. “I visit Burnaby Hospital more than any hospital in the province because my constituents are there more frequently. I’m in Burnaby Hospital a lot, and I know it very well.”

School district adds to reserves
Piano teacher faces sexual assault charges
Will finish the year $979,459 in the black, with millions in reserve funds By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
The Burnaby school district continues to add to its reserve funds, according to the 2017/18 amended budget. A preliminary plan passed last April anticipated the district would have to dip into its reserves to the tune of about $600,000 by the end of the year to balance the operating budget, but the amended plan passed at a meeting Monday shows the district on course to finish the year $979,459 in the black. The district is now expected to carry more than $8 million in surpluses into the 2018/19 school year – about $5 million in unrestricted reserves and $3 million in an international education reserve. The latter – built up over three years – was put in place to cushion the district in the event of a sudden
drop in international enrolment, according to secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill. “I believe about half (our students) come from China,” he said as an example. “If all of a sudden something were to happen where Chinese students were no longer coming to international schools, then this would allow us to buffer the impact of that over the next fiscal year.” Changes in the amended budget include new spending on an inhouse education assistant course ($70,000), school equipment ($400,000) and 10.5 new education assistant positions ($205,000). Regular school-age enrolment grew by 75 students, which was 50 fewer than anticipated, according to Horswill, but enrolment of certain categories of special needs students grew by 15 more than anticipated. The district also enrolled 41
more international students than predicted and will take in $1.2 million more than anticipated in international and out-of-province tuition fees ($23 million instead of $22 million). Additionally, the district got $12.6 million in extra funding to get in line with class-size, classcomposition and specialist teacher provisions restored to B.C. teachers’ collective agreement after a Supreme Court of Canada ruling last school year. The extra funds went towards 121.8 new teacher positions and the hiring of about 40 more education assistants. The district also got an extra $1.9 million to relocate nine portables and modify three classrooms to create more classes.

A 67-year-old Coquitlam piano teacher who taught lessons in Burnaby and in other Lower Mainland cities has been charged with three counts sexual assault involving former students, and the RCMP are looking for other possible victims who have not yet spoken to police. Dmytro (also known as Dmitri) Kubyshkin is believed to have been teaching in private homes for more than 20 years, according to Coquitlam RCMP. His current company name is DM Piano School, police said. He was not previously known to police, according to an RCMP press release,
but now faces allegations that range from 1998 to 2015. Coquitlam RCMP released a photo of Kubyshkin Tuesday to further its investigation. Kubyshkin, who speaks with a Russian accent, is described as a 67-year-old Caucasian man with white/ blond hair, blue eyes and a mustache. He is five-foot-10 and weighs 160 pounds. If you believe you or someone you know has been a victim of a crime involving Kubyshkin, call the Coquitlam RCMP’s nonemergency number at 604945-1550 and ask for the investigative support team.

City now Students explore the stories of immigrants
Continued from page 1 means to be an immigrant. To find an answer, students were charged with creating a fictional character based on their research of real immigrant stories.They then packed a suitcase with photos, tokens and treasures to represent the life they were leaving behind and their dreams for the future. Chan, and her classmates Zuzanna Liniewski and Emily Zhang, created Aishe Boswell, a Romani Gypsy fleeing a life of uncertainty and persecution in France. And while none of the students could directly relate to the illiterate young woman, they found parallels with
Each of us could have come off that train their own families and the challenges they faced when they arrived in Canada. Like Zhang’s parents, who had master’s degrees in China but had to “relearn everything” and start over again at subsistence jobs. Or Liniewski’s family, who fled Poland when the country was going through political turmoil and nobody was sure how it would play out.
Stories of the past: Social studies students from Burnaby North secondary school disembark from the rail car at Port Moody’s Station Museum with suitcases packed with immigrants’ stories they researched and curated that will be part of a new permanent exhibit at the museum.
“It connects you to our own stories of coming to a new place,” Chan said. Which is exactly Fahrner’s hope when the suitcases go on display at the museum. “Each of us could have come off that train,” he said. –Tri-City News

City now ‘You guys are creating homelessness’: activist
Continued from page 1 resident of one of the buildings that will be demolished for 30 years. Grunau said the city seems to emphasize future residents rather than give consideration to those already living here. “This is one place where the city has drastically let us down,” said Grunau. “I hope all of us will be able to sleep at night knowing you have done your best to provide to us as Burnaby citizens.” Housing activist Murray Martin reeled off the addresses of 31 rental apartment buildings that have been demolished to make way for condo complexes and towers since 2011 and the locations of 14 more in the process of being eradicated. He said that translates to 706 households losing their home and another 305 on the way. He accused Burnaby council of ramming through highrise projects at “insane prices” that will destroy 2,992 apartment units in the Metrotown area, leaving renters with no affordable place to go. He pointed out in the same time New Westminster has not lost any rental buildings to towers. “To you these are just numbers, but these are humans who are suffering,” said Martin. “The unique situation we have in Burnaby is a (Burnaby Citizens Association) council that is totally out of touch with lower-income people. “This is one of the most disgusting cities in Canada as far as city councils go.” Martin wants an independent impact study, preferably paid for by the province, on the human impact the demovictions are causing in Burnaby, although he said,

“we don’t need a study as much as you need to stop.” “Thousands of people are getting evicted because of you,” said Martin. “You guys are creating homelessness.” A few residents said it was heartbreaking to see such policies coming from the BCA, who are all also required to be members of the NDP, because they have voted for those parties in the past but vowed not to in the future.
Hopefully that park will be able to accommodate me and my tent
Ivan Holmes, who lives in an apartment on Silver across from Maywood Park, said he moved to the area in 1957 and has worked every election for the NDP since. “I certainly won’t be working for you people on the next election. It’s very disturbing,” said Holmes. “You’ve lost yourself.When you have a plan, it has to have a beginning, a middle and an end, and it has to work. “The developers are not elected and they are telling you what to do, and it’s disgusting. I hope, I hope, I really hope that you people will understand that your plan has gone awry. You have the power to fix it quickly. Don’t keep rubber stamping these bylaws and kicking out people like myself.” Holmes said it’s only a matter of time before he loses his residence, too. “I will be a senior evicted
because of your inadequate planning,” said Holmes. “Hopefully that (expanded) park will be able to accommodate me and my tent.” Cassie Avenue resident David Neufeld said Vancouver and Richmond councils have a diversity of opinion, but not Burnaby. “I see all of you echoing the same opinion, and I see a bunch of people in Metrotown that are under stress because they’re going to lose their place or about to lose their place,” said Neufeld. Zoe Luba of Stop Demovictions Burnaby called the hearing a sham because it felt like the councillors were wearing earplugs. “It is insulting and it is disturbing,” said Luba. “None of you have a conscience. “The city has the money, if you wanted to build affordable housing you could have …You care about money over people.That’s not why people elected you.” Coun. Colleen Jordan, who chaired the meeting in the absence of an ill Mayor Derek Corrigan, said new provincial policy will result in Burnaby getting approximately 900 new non-market rental units in the future. In addition to the speakers, the city received 97 letters opposed to the rezoning application. Intracorp’s proposed tower will have 298 units ranging from 403-square-foot studio units to three-bedroom condos with 1,257 square feet of space. The rezoning application will likely be included on the agenda for second, third and final readings at the next council meeting on Monday (March 5).

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Recognizing languages an important step
Though most of the discussion over last week’s B.C. budget was focused on mansions and taxes, there was one item we were pleased to see: $50 million for revitalization of Indigenous languages. Thanks to residential schools, our government nearly snuffed out the First Nations languages spoken for thousands of years on the lands we occupy in Burnaby today.
(In fact, four First Nations called these lands home: the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Kwikwetlem.) There have been varied attempts at trying to save and revitalize Indigenous languages, including the establishment of a Squamish language immersion program taught at Simon Fraser University by activist-educator Khelsilem. Supporting Aboriginal
language was a key theme in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action. Much of the work is at the educational level where our young people can start fresh with accurate history lessons and, hopefully, help forge a better understanding of why reconciliation issues are important to all Canadians. But ensuring that Indigenous languages can
survive is a fundamental first step in any reconciliation process. Prince George-Mackenzie Liberal MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP member, rose in the legislature this week to say the money would be better spent on policing to combat “alcohol abuse, domestic violence and sexual abuse” in First Nations communities. We find this totally tone-deaf and in-
appropriate. But, worse, it again implies that force and more criminalizing of people will somehow heal the decades of discrimination and oppression that First Nations people have suffered. Saving languages may not seem like a big step to some people, but it is a significant move and a change of attitude. Language is not just a collection of nouns, verbs
and grammatical rules. It is an entire way of seeing and interacting with the world. There are concepts, emotions and subtleties that do not survive translation. And we believe language is a pillar of identity and a source of root strength that can anchor a people. This $50 million is a small step towards giving back what’s been stolen.
MY VIEW KIRK LAPOINTE
Heavy on gestures, light on meaning If you pay attention to political and economic cycles, you would know there is no more placid and inert place than the one the Justin Trudeau government finds itself in. Its poll standings are sturdy – even if the prime minister’s trip to India was a fashion-first fiasco – because the political opposition have not cohered under their new leaders.The economy isn’t in need of triage – even if the deficit seems an indefinite federal fixture – because Canada has fared relatively well from U.S. momentum and surprisingly well in job growth.Thus there is neither an urgent need to place a chicken in every pot, nor to minister to a recession, nor to waste valuable political capital now on initiatives that might be forgotten by the fall of 2019 when the Liberals want command of our memories. That being said, Finance Minister Bill Morneau chose to emphasize the pursuits of equality and reconciliation as themes in his presentation. His measures chose paths of some value and others of some question. There were funds to push for gender wage equity – at least, within federal agencies, where Ottawa can exert control – and to encourage women entrepreneurs. But there was nothing as profound as an articulated mission on national child care or measures.We wish more women to advance through the sciences, but the government’s commitment Tuesday was well short of what independent reviews sug-
gested the country needed. The budget appeared to make strides for Indigenous economic strengthening, with better support for treaty negotiations and a clearer road to nation-to-nation development – albeit couched, again, on a review of governance programs. More imminently helpful: an accelerated fix on the abhorrent state of drinking water on many reserves, more funds for child safety, and a stronger program for First Nations-led housing. If there is a distinct omission in Tuesday’s federal budget, it resembled a distinct omission in last Tuesday’s provincial budget: you’d never know America mattered to Canada. Our trade pact is troubled and the Trump administration has introduced such business-friendly tax reform that evenWarren Buffett notices his newfound wealth. But neither Morneau nor B.C. Finance Minister Carole James saw fit to prepare or proactively improve the climate of business investment or taxation.They need the coin – and maybe more – to fulfil their policies, so they appear willing to wait until the storm hits before we buy the raincoat. If there was an expected resolution in Tuesday’s budget, it was the effort to clarify what might remain of the self-destructive mess of last July’s summer surprise to tax incorporated small- and mid-sized businesses. Mostly the minister had crawled down on the enraging package; on Tuesday he limited access to the Continued on page 7

Who’s the real ‘royal’ city? Michael Sone, editor of a book on Burnaby’s history, put a couple NewWest noses out of joint in August when he proposed Burnaby had better reason to call itself the Royal City than NewWest since Robert Burnaby was related to the royal family, while NewWest’s claims to fame were mere commoners: native sons Raymond Burr and Bruno Gerussi. Ald. Sandy Thompson called the claim “utter rubbish,” while NewWest historian Archie Miller said Sone was “grabbing at straws.” “QueenVictoria herself named us after her favourite part of London,” he said.

Opinionnow Metrotown station ‘improvements’ failed Dear Editor: Michael Jackson’s nose job comes quickly to mind for the kind of “improvement” made to the Metrotown SkyTrain station. A most objectionable change for the putative better is the taking out of the above-ground, covered walkway traversing the station and the mall. No frequent transit user in the Metrotown mall area I have asked about that change did not miss the walkway. Without the safety and shelter provided by the walkway, transit users and pedestrians, from their whatever-to-make-it-work-for-me (that is, rational) vantage point, resort to making runs across the chaotic, callous traffic of Central Boulevard, to changing traffic lights, to arriving buses and SkyTrains, to shelters from the rain and to infinite other good personal reasons. The “improvement” design clearly has taken people out of safety and shelter to the dangerous, inconvenient conditions of the open street. Those who have had a part in the decision to remove the above-ground covered walkway are but amateurs at best. With Michael’s “improved” nostrils, at least nobody has to reply on them to make everyday life safe, convenient and sense-making. Eugene Ip, Burnaby
What jobs are those? Dear Editor: With all the jingoism over Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion creating jobs – and
almost all of it temporary work – it’s conspicuous how there’s no mention of creating actual long-term employment by processing enough of our own crude to (at the very least) supply Canadians’ consumption needs, instead of exporting the bulk raw resource then importing the finished product. After 30 years of consuming mainstream news media, I’ve yet to come across a seriously thorough discussion on why our national and provincial governments consistently refuse to alter this practice, which undoubtedly is the most profitable for the Texas-based oil company.

small-business tax rate to incorporated firms with more than $1 million in assets. If Trudeau’s India trip cannot be put in the rear-view mirror yet, then Morneau’s mauling of small business might be. What was clear is that the Trudeau government does not have John Horgan’s challenge to prove competence on the economic file, nor the urgency that seized the B.C. NDP in starting to tackle policies after occupying opposition for 16 years.The largest idea, a national pharmacare program, is merely starting to be plotted.

Tax fraud resurfaces Burnaby RCMP hopes to nip an old Canada Revenue Agency fraud in the bud during tax time this year by posting an example of the scam. Last week, Mounties posted a 44-second video of a voicemail message featuring an automated voice. It’s one of two such messages RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar has gotten on her personal phone this month. For her, the aggressive language used in the message was a dead giveaway, but police are concerned seniors, new immigrants and
people still learning English might be fooled. The voice informs the recipient the message is a “final notification call” from “the investigations department of the Canada Revenue Agency.” It claims previous messages have been ignored and that a legal case has been launched against the recipient.The voice demands the recipient call a number provided or face arrest. “The suspect usually requests immediate payment by credit card or will convince the victim to pur-
chase a prepaid credit card and demand that they call the suspect back immediately with the information,” states an RCMP press release. “Recent scams have involved the suspect asking for payment in bitcoin or prepaid iTunes gift cards. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or even deportation.” To confirm if a CRA representative has actually contacted you, call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281, for individual concerns, or 1-800959-5525, for business-related calls.
Forgotten lottery ticket was a half-million-dollar winner Finding that forgotten lotto ticket in your purse and winning $500,000 sounds like everyone’s happy daydream, but that’s just what happened to Zahra Mive-Chian. “I was about to buy a new lottery ticket when I discovered an old ticket in my purse from a few months ago,” Mive-Chian said in a press release. “When I went to check it, the clerk’s machine froze and the numbers $500,000 popped up on the screen.” The win was for the Dec. 22 Lotto Max draw Extra. Mive-Chian had bought the winning ticket at a lot-
tery kiosk inside Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby. She plans to use her windfall to help with retirement and to share with her family. “Once I told the family
the great news, we celebrated with a dinner out,” she said. “We were all so excited about the fun we could have with the extra money. I will remember that dinner for the rest of my life.”

Tickets are $12 regular,
or $8 for students.You can reserve by emailing carol. mann@burnabyschools.ca or buy at the door (if available). ST.

POTTER MOUTH
WHAT’S UP? The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is marking International Women’s Day on Thursday, March 8 with a free presentation called Potter Mouth: Unabashed Messages in Clay, plus weekend workshops for potters. WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Three local, up-andcoming ceramic artists will be on hand for a panel discussion on March 8 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Maggie Boyd, Amelia Butcher and David Robinson will talk about how they use clay as a medium for the messages about equality. “Conversations about feminism are conversations about the human condition,” says a write-up about the event. “Works of art that get this dialogue started are gutsy, frank and relevant to everyone; some may be difficult, some may cause embarrassment, some may appear taboo. But when an
artist creates images or sculptures that challenge the norm and then sets them free in the world, they encourage us to pause and think, ‘Wait, is that really what’s going on?’ or to say, ‘Yes, that’s it exactly!’” WHERE IS IT HAPPENING? It’s at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., in Studio 103. DETAILS, PLEASE: The Thursday night event will start with a cash bar and pottery exhibit, running from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by a presentation by the artists from 7 to 8 p.m. and a discussion until 8:30 p.m. It’s free, but register ahead at www.burnaby.ca/webreg using barcode 461932. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE … Ceramic artists can join each of the panelists for workshops on the weekend to delve deeper into their art form. (Note that if any workshop is full, you can add
your name to a waitlist.) Maggie Boyd will lead a workshop on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. called Surface Treatment for Clay, looking at a variety of ways to treat the surface of a ceramic piece. It costs $65.40 (barcode 462074). Amelia Butcher will lead Tattooing Pots, running on Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. Participants will explore surface decoration and finishing techniques and learn tricks and recipes for underglaze ‘ink,’ wax inlay and more. It also costs $65.40 (barcode 461953). David Robinson will lead the third workshop, Nature the Majestic, on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Using techniques that employ wheel throwing, hand building and slip casting skills, participants will explore the interrelated forms and patterns of the organic world. The workshop costs $80.60 (barcode 461956). For all the workshop details, see the city’s Winter Arts Programs brochure at www.shadboltcentre.com or sign up through www. burnaby.ca/webreg.

ONE LAST TIME Students at Edmonds Junior Secondary belt out a rousing rendition of Happy
Birthday in January 1988 to mark their school’s 94th year. Slated for closure the following year, Edmonds opened as The Burnaby School on Jan. 22, 1894 across Canada Way from the site of today’s Edmonds Community School. It was the first school built in Burnaby, and its later incarnations counted the likes of movie star Michael J. Fox and CFL receiver Rick House among its alumni. PHOTO NOW ARCHIVES

STM stopped in B.C. opener In juniors, Burnaby South stings Windsor for quarter-final ticket By Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
They stood toe-to-toe with the Vernon Panthers for the first eight minutes, but the Okanagan squad would put the St.Thomas More Knights on notice with a surge they struggled to match. And, when the dust settled Wednesday in their opening game of the B.C. High School 2-A senior girls basketball championships, the Knights suffered at the hands of the Panthers’ big players in a 65-50 loss at the Langley Events Centre. Giving a gritty effort despite lining up against a trio of six-feet forwards – Vernon’s Kelsey Falk, Ashley Budgen and Mackenzie Horst – STM couldn’t match No. 10-seed Vernon on the boards and were tagged with a flurry of fouls in the first quarter. The Panthers went fivefor-11 and only trailed once, 9-8, when the Knights’ Shiloh Corrales-Nelson turned a steal into a nifty layup with 3:43 remaining in the opening frame. After Vernon edged ahead again, another steal, this time by Aurafel Domingo, was converted to tie the game. After that, the Panthers took control. They cashed in 12 unanswered points to roll ahead 23-11, and while STM drew within five points on Cassia DiGirolamo’s drive to the hoop with 2:30 left in the half,Vernon countered and held a six-point advantage after 20 minutes. Despite not having their best game shooting-wise, the Knights made one more push to start the second half, with buckets by Corrales-Nelson and Julia Spagnuolo to trail 34-30. However,Vernon countered with a 12-3 roll to silence any comeback talk. Vernon’s Falk, at five-foot11, led all shooters with 20 points and was a dominant force at both ends. Budgen, a six-foot-tall Grade 10, tallied 17 points, while Horst, a six-foot-one post, was named player of the game for Vernon with 14 points. STM got 14 points each from Grade 11s Emma Stewart-Barnett and Domingo. They fell into the consolation bracket and met Mark Isfeld on Thursday (after the NOW’s deadline).
It wasn’t all bad on the Burnaby front at Wednesday’s opening round in Langley. The junior Rebels moved on to the provincial quarterfinals with a polished 36-29 win over the Windsor Dukes. On Thursday, they met No. 3-seedYale (played after the NOW’s deadline) for a berth into Friday’s semifinals. Windsor got a good start, pushing ahead by seven points in the first quarter. Burnaby South, who managed just 20 points two weeks earlier in a close loss to St. Thomas More in the Lower Mainland final, turned it on and made their shots count against the Dukes. A 12-point surge that began late in the first quarter tucked them ahead 1712, and while Windsor closed it to a point, the No. 6-seed Rebels ended the half up 2216.They limited the opposition to just two points in the third quarter, and while bent some in the final frame, held on for a seven-point victory. “We scrambled quite nicely, and defensively they adjusted in our end well,” remarked Rebels co-coach Norman Roberts. The player of the game, Laini Glover, tallied a gamehigh 17 points, while Kirsten Cajalne chipped in seven. “Half of our team is (Grade) 9s, and they’ve never been in a situation like this before,” said co-coach Steve Glover, referring to the slow start. “They brought the game around and got it under control.” The St.Thomas More junior girls were unable to extend their winning streak from the Lower Mainlands, opening with a first-round 45-34 loss to North Surrey. The Knights looked good for nearly three-quarters of the game, taking a 17-9 lead just prior to halftime. After North Surrey made a run to tie it up to start the second half, STM reclaimed the advantage with a 25-18 lead.The opposition, however, corralled momentum on a seven-point run to tie it, and outscored the Knights 20-9 in the final frame. Bella Gaspar led STM with 13 points, while Olivia Becner and TatianaYau tallied six each in support. The Knights played Riverside yesterday (after the NOW’s deadline).

SFU veteran earns first-ever honour Chalk it down as a program first – and an impressive one, at that. Simon Fraser University’s senior guard Kedar Salam became the firstever member of the Clan’s men’s basketball team to be selected to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s first all-star team, as voted on by conference coaches. It came in a season where Salam, a native of Toronto and transfer student from UBC, topped the GNAC with a 20.4 points per game average. Playing for 10-18 Clan, the six-foot-three guard finished ranked 20th in Div. 2 in field goals made (212) and 24th in
field goals attempted (434). In last week’s season-ending loss, 77-52 to Western Oregon, Salam counted 21 points and ended up scoring 20-plus points in 14 of the team’s 28 games.Two weeks ago in the Clan’s last win, he tallied 31 points as the program bested the Alaska Nanooks 83-51, the largest margin of victory during the program’s NCAA history. In January, he was named the USBWA Div. 2 National Player of the Week after averaging 33.5 points and six rebounds per game in back-toback home court wins. He counted a
season-high 40 points against Central Washington on Jan. 4. All-in-all, Salam lead SFU’s shooters in 18 of the team’s games and established himself as conference star. Salam became the first SFU player to lead the GNAC in scoring since Sango Niang, who in 2014/15 led the circuit, averaging 22.6 points per game, and drawing a second AllConference team honour. He was also the only player in the GNAC to average more than 20 points per game, connecting for .488 from the field and .414 per cent from beyond the three-point line.
