Seven people hung from bridge for 36 hours to block tankers Jane Seyd

Police moved in Wednesday afternoon to remove seven Greenpeace protesters who had been hanging from the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge for two days, stopping an oil tanker from passing underneath the bridge. An “aerial extraction team” from the RCMP’s emergency response team climbed up to the catwalk underneath the bridge deck. Will George, a member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, was one of the protesters lowered from the bridge onto a waiting boat. George posted a live video from his hammock sling underneath the bridge, describing how the police team was beginning preparations to remove the protesters. North Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Richard De Jong said police moved in to remove the protesters based on potential danger to themselves, public mischief and the fact they were “jeopardizing the safety of a vessel” under the Canada Shipping Act. Alex Speers-Roesch, head of the anti-oil campaign for Greenpeace Canada, said the group had been in discussions with police over the 36 hours the protesters hung from the bridge and had been warned that a team would likely move in to extract them if the pro-

testers didn’t come down on their own. “The climbers decided to stay in place,” he said. Earlier in the day, a spokesperson for Trans Mountain confirmed that the tanker Serene Sea had finished loading and departed the Westridge Terminal in Burnaby “waiting for suitable conditions.” Earlier Wednesday morning, George described his chilly night in a hammock hanging over Burrard Inlet. George said his time hanging from the bridge wasn’t comfortable but was quite peaceful. “I treat it like a ceremony,” he said. ”Our people have been here for centuries.” George said his 18 years as a commercial window washer cleaning windows of highrise buildings prepared him to hang from the bridge by a rope, high above Burrard Inlet. George said he brought smoked salmon, along with power bars, peanuts and pepperoni to eat and had water while hanging from the bridge. Official Greenpeace spokesperson Jesse Firempong said protesters had a “hygenic system in place for storing waste” while hanging from the ropes. George put it in simpler terms. “For number 1, just lean over. For number 2 – that’s why I didn’t bring much food.”

What started as a distracted-driving stop in Burnaby Wednesday morning ended in a hitand-run that sent a local Mountie to hospital with a broken arm. The officer, on foot, attempted to stop a grey Dodge Nitro SUV at about 10 a.m. at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Parker Street because the driver appeared to be using an electronic device behind the wheel, according to police. The officer signalled for the driver to pull over, police said, but the man ignored her and took off southbound on Willingdon instead – hitting the Mountie in the process. Burnaby RCMP are now searching for the suspect, described as a South Asian man with a heavy build, a shaved head and a tattoo on his left arm. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and grey sweatpants. “We’d ask that the driver of the vehicle that struck this officer to do the right thing and contact police,” Burnaby RCMP Supt. Chuck McDonald stated in a press release. Police are asking that anyone with information on the suspect or suspect vehicle to please contact Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999. To remain anonymous with a tip, contact Crimestoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Newsnow Trans Mountain construction set to start up again Construction schedule for the next six months filed with the NEB

Kelvin Gawley

editorial@burnabynow.com

The once-stalled Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is set to restart and barrel ahead through Alberta and B.C. to its Burnaby terminus. The twinning of the pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby was put on hold in April by Kinder Morgan, which blamed B.C. Premier John Horgan’s legal challenges. In late May, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his government’s plan to purchase the existing pipeline and take over the expansion project. “Since the federal government’s announcement at the end of May 2018, we have been moving forward with construction planning

and working to update our construction schedule,” a Trans Mountain spokesperson said in an email. On Tuesday,Trans Mountain filed its construction schedule for the next six months with the National Energy Board. It sets out work plans at the two main facilities in Burnaby: the tank farm on Burnaby Mountain and the Westridge marine terminal on Burrard Inlet. Construction at the Westridge terminal has been ongoing since September. The company did not stop pile driving to create new oil tanker berths when it suspended “non-essential” work on the expansion project in April. “Essential work continued and, where it made sense to move forward on

But that work repeatedly broke noise limits set by the federal government and may have risked harming marine animals in January through March this year, according to a leaked letter from the Federal Fisheries and Oceans Department.

The company plans to start work on a tunnel portal on Burnaby Mountain this month while it starts preparing its tank farm site for expansion. In late June, the NEB approved modified plans to reconfigure tanks on Burnaby Mountain in a bid to make them safer and reduce the chance of a fire. The City of Burnaby had

The municipality is required by law to publicly disclose the names of those paid more than $75,000. There are 795 people on Burbaby’s list from many different departments, including, firefighters, truck

Bosco takes bite out of bank robberies

Robber tries to use police dog as reason to stay charges

De Silva will be sentenced on Aug. 10 after being found guilty on seven counts of bank robbery and one count of attempted bank robbery for a spree in Vancouver and Burnaby that lasted from Jan. 29 to Feb. 18 in 2016. On each occasion De Silva showed the teller a note saying he had a gun or was armed. During one robbery, his note stated he was armed with a grenade as well as a gun.

“The bite Bosco inflicted likely caused pain to Mr. De Silva.That was its purpose.The pain was to distract Mr. De Silva from focusing on any weapon he may have had, and using it,” Macintosh stated in a January ruling. “Mr. De Silva was arrested while it was reasonably believed by the officers that he was armed, shortly after he had committed his seventh bank robbery in less than three weeks. He does not have a valid complaint on these facts.”

WILLINGDON AVE.

A 27-year-old’s threeweek bank-robbery spree in early 2016 came to an abrupt end in the back of a Burnaby cab with a police dog attached to his arm. Eranga De Silva had just gotten into a taxi after robbing his seventh bank in less than a month – this one a TD Canada Trust on Kingsway. Unbeknownst to him, he was being tailed by two unmarked Vancouver police SUVs, each equipped with a trained police service dog. When the taxi stopped at an intersection, one of the police vehicles pulled up close to the driver-side doors to block them, while the second pulled up on the other side and quickly dispatched police service dog Bosco into the back seat to subdue De Silva. “In keeping with his extensive training, Bosco bit Mr. De Silva only once and held that bite until commanded to stop,” state court documents. The dog then “levered” De Silva out of the taxi, according to the documents, and officers arrested him about eight feet from the taxi. De Silva’s lawyers argued the charges against him should be stayed because police had violated his Charter rights during the arrest. It turned out De Silva had been unarmed, and Bosco’s bite required stitches to fix. But B.C. Supreme Court Justice George Macintosh ruled the officers – and Bosco, who has since retired from the VPD – had acted reasonably under the circumstances.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Cycling infrastructure is not your enemy

The divide between drivers and cyclists isn’t getting any better, judging by a recent Angus Reid poll. Apparently, 56 per cent of those surveyed say there’s a conflict between cyclists and drivers, with 65 per cent saying the problem lies with cyclists. It doesn’t have to be this way. While we applaud the efforts by groups such as HUB Burnaby to encourage people to learn to ride safely and to stay out of

busy thoroughfares and to stick to bike lanes, the fact is most of our local roads are not built to accommodate both cars and cyclists, and infrastructure to accommodate cyclists is still rudimentary at best. The problems are many and would take a boat load of money to fix. Sadly, there’s a lot of talk, and some personal efforts by bike-riding politicians, but too little is being done to make biking a regular lifestyle.

Our get-everywhere-as-fast-aspossible attitude is part of the problem, too. Geography doesn’t help. Bridges, overpasses, hills and other impediments make incorporating bikes into daily life – and not just for recreation – a difficult challenge. Here are just a few of the problems: major thorough-

fares without protected bike lanes; bike lanes that disappear when a road suddenly narrows; poor signage at intersections to show how cars and bikes should interact (which can be fixed with better signage); lack of understanding about rules of

the road; and cars parked on shoulders that leave little room for cyclists. Our get-everywhere-asfast-as-possible attitude is part of the problem, too. Who will admit to a little bit of frustration when being held up by a cyclist pedalling as fast as possible up a hill or along a straightaway? The cyclist has nowhere to go, the driver has nowhere to go but to pass the cyclist, often dangerously. The irony is that people are just as irate about bike

lanes as they are about cyclists on the road, crying out “unfair” because the road has to be narrowed or parking reduced to make way for them. But we argue that unless the suburbs are made more bike- and pedestrian-friendly, the car will forever rule and cycling to shopping and work will be a nice idea but only for the few, hardy road warriors. As we said, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Anatomy of a pipeline protest

“I was convicted yesterday.” Andrew Larigakis smiled as he offered this statement as a way of introduction to retired Burnaby teacher-librarian Susan Lambert, who had just been arrested Saturday at the gates of the Burnaby Mountain Kinder Morgan tank farm. Lambert shook the hand of Larigakis, a Vancouver architect who was arrested at the same spot in March. Lambert had just been released by police and Larigakis came over because he wanted her to know that what she was doing was important. Lambert is no stranger to being in the spotlight. She is the former president of the B.C.Teachers’ Federation and has faced large throngs of media, as well as tense standoffs with provincial governments. She’s fierce, but I can imagine what an emotional experience Saturday must have been for her. When the protesters – including Order of Canada recipient Jean Swanson – sat down in front of the gates, they were approached by police, who played a recorded message about the court injunction. When they didn’t move, they were arrested in front of hundreds of people, including a woman burning sage next to them. As the crowd softly sang the words, “You are not alone,” Lambert was taken away down a dark, treecovered path to a table set up under a tent. I watched from the road as she sat down, surrounded by at least 10 police officers. “You are definitely out-

numbered,” she told me after she was released. Apart from all the police and the chanting crowd, there is the spectre of possibly going to jail for violating the injunction. Lambert could be sentenced to seven days in jail. “Of course it gave me pause,” Lambert said when I asked if she thought twice about going to jail. But Lambert is a grandmother and she said she owes a “debt” to her grandchildren. To her, stopping the Trans Mountain pipeline will do that. “The situation is so critical, we have to take action,” Lambert said. She actually said this a couple of times, each time with more ferocity.Then she looked at me, smiled, and said she needed to go. Meanwhile, the crowd continue to sing as a guy referred to as “Rich” (he wouldn’t give me his name) egged them on with a megaphone. He was a maestro with that megaphone. As vehicles drove by the site, protesters in reflective vests guided the traffic and made sure people stayed off the road. Then suddenly, another group of five people stepped forward and sat down in chairs, ready to be arrested. A few of the more than 30 police officers on hand (seems a little bit of overkill for such a peaceful crowd, but that’s a topic for another day) walked up and played the recorded message again before taking them away, one by one. Expect this to continue all summer long. Follow Chris Campbell on Twitter @shinebox44

School grounds hide bad guys

The darkened school grounds of Maywood Elementary were habouring thieves, robbers and thugs seeking out their next victim, according to merchants on Imperial Street worried about their safety in light of escalating incidents of violent crime in the area.The owners of a fish and chips shop in the neighbourhood had been beaten and threatened with a gun by three men in early January. Other businesses had also been robbed and broken in to. Merchants pointed to the nearby SkyTrain station and the poorly lit school grounds as adding to the problem.

Opinionnow INBOX

Take back the government Editor: There is a popular, cynical saying, “People get the government they deserve.” It’s hardly true. Most governments, throughout the course of history, have been imposed by force, not by the will of the people. In all those cases, whether the governments were good or bad, the people could not be considered to be getting the governments they deserved. There have only been a few experiments with real democracy. Most of the systems that we call democracies have been at best representative democracies, or functionally republics, in which a handful of people get elected to power, and those people then proceed to do anything they want, with no regard to what they promised to do, and no oversight or consequences. Canada is such a republican system. The big problem with republican systems is that it is very easy to subvert them. Because the people are not strongly involved in the political process, and because the elected representatives can do anything they want, it pays for them to lie their way to power. As a result, the people become cynical, and they make up sayings that say nothing at all. Furthermore, because it costs so much to even attempt to run, the representatives typically wind up serving only the rich and powerful. Therefore, most of the systems that we call democracies are really oligarchies and kleptocracies, where a handful of people hold all the power and use it to steal the public resources. Such has been the past “Wild West” decade in B.C. The BC Liberals lied their way to power.

The big lie: “Elect us and the economy will thrive!” But in fact, the economy of B.C. has been gutted. BC Hydro, gutted, and rates have gone way up. ICBC, gutted, and rates are going up. The medical system, gutted, and necessary procedures are unavailable, but the rates have gone up. The list goes on and on. How is this a thriving economy? It’s true that we have low unemployment. But most of the jobs are low-wage, precarious and unsafe. With all these negative indicators, which everyone is fully aware of, how is it possible that the people believe that the economy is thriving? The answer is that the B.C. economy for the past decade has been based on land speculation. The cost of land has become exponentially larger. Land speculators have raked in insane profits. Non-speculators who owned land have also profited. But most of the people are unable to own homes, and in many cases are unable even to rent homes. Of course, this should be counted as a huge negative factor, proof that the economy is in fact collapsing. But if you own the government and the media, you can cook the books, turn a negative into a positive, and claim that the economy is booming, which the mass media then repeats ad nauseum, and who is able to disagree? The people have a duty to themselves, to their children, and to everyone else to stand up and fight to ensure that decent representatives step forward, that they get elected, and that they are held accountable. That is the only way for the people to get the governments they deserve. Victor Finberg, Burnaby

Mandarin program graduates ﬁrst group Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing when it comes to a new language. Take the Burnaby school district’s first crop of Mandarin language arts program grads. After starting in the program at Forest Grove Elementary School in kindergarten seven years ago, they’ve learned plenty. For those who’ve worked up enough courage to say hello to a native Madarin speaker on the street, though, the response from enthusiastic strangers can still be a bit daunting. “I did once,” said Grade 7 student Miranda Friz with a laugh, “and then she started rambling to me in Mandarin, and I had no idea what she was saying.” The Burnaby school district launched its Mandarin language arts program in September 2010. Ten students from the original cohort graduated last month, and many will now continue their Mandarin studies at Burnaby

“I just thought that that was so cute, and at first I didn’t really correct him because I thought he’s just proud that he learned the language and he feels like he’s part of it,”Tang said. An appreciation of Chi-

nese culture and the Mandarin language seems to have stuck for the program’s first grads. “The whole thing in general is just really elegant, like the words; they’re very beautiful, and you can tell

how much care comes into every single character, and the culture is really rich,” Grade 7 student Emily Halpen-Buie told the NOW. Fellow Mandarin program grad Rosalie Chady agreed.

“I’ve gotten to know it a lot better,” she said. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, there’s China; that’s Chinese culture.’ I can almost relate to it. It just gives me a bigger perspective, you know, to see all these different things.”

Unlike elementary Mandarin programs in Vancouver and Coquitlam, Burnaby’s is not a language immersion program, and the curriculum is as much about broadening students’ cultural horizons as it is about teaching them a new language. “We want them to learn more deeply, not just on the surface,” Grade 6/7 teacher Yu-Han Chen said. Teachers notice the attitudes of students – many of whom are not from a Chinese background – shift as early as kindergarten. “A lot of things, in the beginning, they would use words like, ‘Oh, that’s weird; that’s strange,’ but after they learned about it, they would say, ‘That’s so cool,’” kindergarten teacher Deborah Tang said. Sometimes students’ identification with the culture even goes too far, like one kindergartner in Tang’s class who went around telling people he was half-Chinese after he’d learned his first bit of Mandarin.

Student honoured for saving child cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Even after pulling a kindergartner safely from the path of an oncoming car last month, nine-year-old Tony Leong has yet to earn the right to walk to school by himself. The Douglas Road Elementary Grade 3 student has been bugging his mom for permission to walk to school by himself all year long, according to veteran crossing guard Kelly Engleson. “Every day, with a big smile, he says to me, ‘Am I ready yet, Kelly? Am I ready?’” she said. “And I say to him, ‘Well Tony, you need to show mom that you are capable and have the ability to walk across the street and focus.’” On May 31, he proved he might well be ready for the responsibility. Tony had been walking from school with his mom and big brother on Douglas Road with a group of younger boys ahead of them, Engleson said, when a car “flying” into the neighbourhood gas station apparently failed to see the youngsters on the sidewalk.

“I turned and I yelled, ‘Stop! Watch the car!’” Engleson said, “and Tony instantly grabbed the back of the little boy’s coat in front of him.The little boy was in kindergarten and he would have absolutely gotten hit if Tony had not grabbed him.” The pint-sized hero still isn’t allowed to walk to school by himself, according to the crossing guard, but, last Monday, his school got a visit from Burnaby’s top cop, Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh, who recognized Tony’s brave act with a certificate of appreciation at a school assembly. “You kept yourself safe as well as those around you,” states the certificate. “The world needs more people like you – never lose your bravery and courage to help those in need. And maybe one day, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will be lucky enough to have you as one of their police officers.” Engleson, who recommended Tony to the City of Burnaby for a citation, said the recognition was well-deserved. “All the adults were crying,” she said. “Everybody just clapped for a good minute for him.”

“It’s amazing to see the next generation starting to give back.” Alex, Guest from Calgary, AB Alex grew up in a lower-income neighbourhood of Calgary and attributes much of his success to the role models in his community. Now Alex is a role model himself, and with the strong relationship he’s built with his local Tim Hortons, he’s been able to give back in amazing ways, like organizing the world’s longest hockey game, which raised over four million dollars for Alberta Children’s Hospital. But no matter how much money he raises, the thing he’s most proud of is that he inspires the youth in his community to want to give back, too. Thank you, Alex.

City talent featured back stage in The Dance Teacher Janaya Fuller-Evans LIVELY CITY

editorial@burnabynow.com

Two talented Burnaby residents are playing major roles in a Vancouver production – behind the scenes, that is. Amber Scott is the stage manager for The Dance Teacher, a play that asks the audience to determine for itself whether a man convicted of a crime is innocent or guilty. “Originally from Alberta, she is making a name for herself as a sought after stage director,”Theryl Grundy, producer of the show, wrote the NOW. “She has grown in the theatre community, acting as the vibrant manager that bonds live theatre together.” The play’s lighting technician is also from Burnaby, according to Grundy. “A film and TV technician, Michael is a huge

supporter of live theatre and offers his expertise and talent to productions across the spectrum,” Grundy wrote. “A true professional in every sense, Michael shines a light on live performances, helping to bring out story elements of a play.” The Dance Teacher runs from July 5 to 8, and July 19 to 22, at Club XY at 1216 Bute St. in Vancouver.

A new take on the truth at the Shadbolt Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@burnabynow.com

Burnaby dancer Aishwarya Roshan plans to explore the nature of truth and reality with her solo show, Satya, which means truth in Sanskrit, at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Saturday, July 7. She will be performing the Indian classical dance Bharata Natyam, which originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu.

… we as a society stand below the force of nature… The dance form emphasizes nuanced hand gestures, complex footwork, ardhamandi (the demi plie) and geometric poses. Though it is one of the oldest forms of classical dance in India, Roshan’s performance is a more modern take. “Something that is often missed with Bharata Natyam is that it’s seen as an ancient art, which it is, but Bharata Natyam has evolved so much over the years,” she told the NOW. “Right now it’s performed internationally through a

contemporary lens, and I hope the audience members can come ready to see Bharata Natyam through that lens, that we dancers and modern-day youth appreciators of the arts have modelled it to be.” Roshan was first enrolled in Bharata Natyam classes when she was five, and committed to it fully in her early teens. “Over the years, as I learned more I fostered a deep appreciation for the art – its spiritual themes, philosophy, the athleticism involved, and over time I found my practice became more mindful with these considerations,” she said. She moved through the different levels as a student at Mandala Arts and Culture in Vancouver, and graduated in 2014. “After that I decided to take on Bharata Natyam professionally because I felt there was so much more I wanted to experience – performing and influencing an audience, developing my own choreography, production, understanding the underlying social themes of dance and reinforcing my technique, as well,” Roshan said. Her guru and teacher is Mandala Arts and Culture artistic director, Jai Govin-

da. Govinda is also the choreographer for Satya. “The show will consist of various items that demonstrate sentiments of truth and reality,” Roshan said. “Within the poems and the music and the dances presented in the show, there will be metaphors that really describe my interpretation of the truth that is inherent in an underlying societal function. Each individual metaphor seen in every dance will basically comprise an interpretation under the more general interpretation, that we as a society stand below the force of nature and goodness that is greater than us all.” Roshan, who is headed to medical school at the University of British Columbia in August, grew up in Burnaby and attended Moscrop Secondary School. She said she’s looking forward to performing in her hometown. “I thought it would be best if I could perform it to a local audience, and to a community that has supported me throughout all my years, from high school all the way on to medical school,” she said. “That was kind of the icing on the cake, having it at Shadbolt, for that local audience.” For tickets to Satya, go to bit.ly/BharataNatyamSatya.

Communitynow Sometimes parents just have to get out of the way Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

I’ve been that parent.The one who shimmies sideways with hands raised while my kid toddles along the platform of a higher-thanarm’s-reach playground. I’ve shadowed my child as she’s navigated her way from bouncy duck, to teeter totter, to swing – ready to pounce if she loses her footing.

Independence is an important life skill… Now that I’m on child number three, I’ve loosened the reins a bit. I’ve learned that no amount of hovering will keep my children out of harm’s way, and try my best to let them run free on the playground without my guided hand or dictatorial direction. The reality is, as much as we’d love to bubble wrap our kids and keep them safe in all scenarios, having adults on the playground can sometimes hurt kids – literally. Heather Clare, a New York-based mother of two, is sharing a chilling tale of what seemed like an innocent day of playground play with her then one-year-old toddler. Doing what many parents do, the mom slid down the slide with her daughter on her lap. As they slid, the child’s leg got caught between the mother’s leg and the side of the slide, snapping the child’s leg in two.

The moment the child’s leg broke was caught in a chilling photo of the pair, and the mom shares the graphic capture on Facebook each year as a reminder to parents of the dangers that can result from sliding down slides with their children.This year alone, her post has been shared more than 105,000 times. When Clare arrived at the ER, her doctor lectured her on the commonality of this type of injury, stating that it is one of the top-three reasons young children are seen in hospital during the spring and summer months. Clare hopes that by sharing her story, more parents will become aware of the potential dangers of sliding with small kids. An article shared in Today’s Parent recently, titled “We need to stop worrying and just let our kids play,” exposes a new NewYorkbased adventure playground that has one simple rule: no parents allowed. Looking more like a scrapyard than a place for play, Play:groundNYC appears at first to be unsafe for kids. On the property is a scattering of broken-down stationary bikes, rusty warped wheels, scrap metal, broken planks, and a bunch of tires that sit in a haphazard pile. Also on site is a tool shed filled with hammers, axes and saws, available for signout should a child wish to try their hand at building. Based on a trend that stems from Europe, the purpose of the 50,000-squarefoot adventure playground is to encourage children to engage in riskier play, emphasizing the benefits of self-directed play and the positive impact that can result from the absence of

parents. The organized movement is run by experts who have studied children’s development through play, and understand the benefits of “freely chosen, self-directed, intrinsically motivated play” for kids.The movement is getting traction, with adventure playgrounds popping up all over the U.S. and Canada. Independence is an important life skill that more and more children are being deprived of learning, thanks to the influx of helicopter parenting. If we want our kids to be able to identify risks, and navigate through life independently, the best thing we can do for them is just step out of the way. Perhaps implementing some adultfree playgrounds in our own backyard would be the best first step towards cutting the cord and giving our children the freedom to play. Being more hands off today could be what keeps them safe when they’re all grown up. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor, and marketing consultant. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

centres around Dumplin’, by Julie Murphy, a comedy about 16-year-old Willowdean, who works to prove to everyone in her small Texas town that she’s more than just the “fat girl” as she goes to compete in a beauty pageant.

Giro offers local cyclist chance to hone road game

From early beginnings at the Burnaby’sVelodrome, Coles-Lyster has carved out a pro cycling career at 18 Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Maggie Coles-Lyster will wheel into the B.C. Superweek cycling series next week as a wily veteran. With four years of experience on the annual series, Coles-Lyster is wrapped up like all the rest of her competitive colleagues in the task of emerging from the pack. Considering the year she’s endured, the Maple Ridge native is happy to embrace every race with an appreciation that is rarely found in someone just 19 years of age. Getting to race on the road, after a grueling series of track events in Europe as the defending 2017 junior track world champion, Coles-Lyster said a return to the streets of Burnaby is always a welcomed yet challenging stop. “Giro di Burnaby and B.C. Superweek have been such key parts of my development as a cyclist,” she wrote to the NOW in an email. “Having world class racing right in my backyard and being able to race it from the age of 14 – thanks to special permission from the (Superweek) series director Mark Ernsting – has taught me so much about bike handling and has shown me that I can compete among some of the best female racers in the world.” As someone whose cycling passion was groomed over hours on Burnaby’s velodrome as an 11-year-old, Coles-Lyster is a fan of the familiar.The sport itself is entwined with repetition – round and round a course, battling rivals, a clock and mechanical and physical issues – but there is a uniqueness to each race that makes those tests so exciting. She competed at the Belgian International meet to start the year and then joined fellow Canadian women’s track endurance teammates Allison Beveridge, Jasmin Duehring and Steph Roorda in Denmark. However, it all came to a crashing stop on Day 3 of the Copenhagen Six where a collision put her in the hospital, suffering from fractures

to her cheekbone and ribs, a collapsed and punctured lung, and a concussion. The two weeks spent recovering in the Denmark capital, where she turned 19, only fuelled her determination to get back in the saddle. “I think I can partly attribute my fast recovery to my positive attitude,” she posted on her blog. “Those who know me will know I’m usually a pretty positive, happy person but I have even surprised myself

with just how positive and content I have been.” The nine-day Superweek schedule will be a huge test, she admits. “Endurance is important, even though the races are short. My training varies from three-hour road rides one day to more criterium specific training at the track (sprints) the next day,” she told the NOW. Last year’s breakthrough at the UCI track cycling world championships in Italy, where

she followed up a silver in the Omnium event with Canada’s first-ever track world crown, has given her a lot of confidence going forward. Racing alongside Canadian Olympic medallists Beveridge and Duehring has helped shape her own future goals – including the next Summer Olympics. That dream was sparked through her father’s involvement as a bike shop owner and Continued on page 21

Under-16 Oakeys bond en route to softball provincials Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

As scrappy as the Burnaby Oakeys under-16 C girls softball team is, the idea of advancing to the provincials could have been classified as a dream if it didn’t unfold as it did. The squad of 16 players gathered steam during the season and hit the gas at the district championships last month, knocking off Port Coquitlam 15-10 in the final

to clinch the berth to the B.C.s. In just their second season together, the squad has taken huge steps and arrived at a destination most wouldn’t imagine a year ago. “It’s kind of a bonus for a second-year team to have this success,” remarked coach Don Ladret, a longtime Burnaby coach who took the helm last year with a club that included four players new to the game. “From last year, when we won just five times, to get here is really sweet.”

In three previous encounters with PoCo – including a 12-6 loss in the second game at the districts – Burnaby had managed to dent their rival’s confidence. But, in the final, the visitors came determined to turn the table. Led by pitcher Amani Korgee, the Oakeys built up a comfortable lead and only saw PoCo pad their run total later in a seven-inning game. Korgee went 4-for-4 at the plate to contribute with the bat. Getting to the final, Burnaby

shook off a 2-0 deficit and scored 10 runs over two innings en route to a 10-5 win over New West. Maya Gutenberg contributed a pair of run-scoring doubles. It followed the team’s 12-6 loss to PoCo and a tournamentopening come-from-behind effort against Coquitlam.With two out and trailing 8-5, the underdogs scored four times, with Avril Brigden driving Torrey Chapman home for the winning run in a 9-8 victory.

Ladret, who coached the Burnaby junior Hurricanes to a provincial title six years ago, said the team will head to Maple Ridge July 13 to 15 with just a few things on their mind. “Provincials are something special,” he said. “Most girls never get to go, so it will be a great experience, no matter what.We’d love to win but our goal is to give it our best.We want them to have fun, but since we made it this far I hope they do well.”

Lakers rally in overtime

Eli McLaughlin delivered a couple of timely goals to help the Burnaby Lakers battle the Maple Ridge Burrards to a 12-12 draw in Western Lacrosse Association action. The Burnaby sniper forced overtime with 1:04 left in regulation, with the goalie pulled for an extra attacker, and in the extra 10-minute session, punctuated the offence with the last goal to get the Lakers

even once more. The visitors did not always trail. During a good portion of the game, Burnaby had the lead, including a two-goal advantage after 40 minutes. However, the Burrards, emboldened by last week’s 13-10 win in Burnaby, continued to reply and retook the lead on Kevin Reid’s unassisted marker with five minutes to play in the third. Cue McLaughlin, who

finished the night with four goals and three assists. Robert Church netted two goals and four helpers, while Scott Jones contributed a goal and three assists. Also scoring for the Lakers were Joel Matthews, Adam Perroni, Justin Salt and Dane Stevens. Zak Boychuk made 37 saves in the stalemate. Burnaby hosts New West on Friday, 7:30 p.m. at the Copeland Arena.

Coles-Lyster set for Superweek Continued from page 20 manager of a bike team, where she met the likes of Calgary transplants Laura Brown and Roorda and local rider Duehring. “I was always by my father’s side as he supported world class local riders like (Sandra Walter, Brown, Duehring and Roorda) at big races like B.C. Superweek,” she recalled. “From a very young age, I decided I wanted to be like them and set my sights on a professional cycling career and the Olympic Games.” As part of the Quebec-based Maceogep-Argon18-Girondins p/b Mazda team, Coles-Lyster is eager to push the pedals hard at both the New West Grand Prix (on Tuesday) and Thursday’s Burnaby di Giro.

“The Giro di Burnaby is a very unique course, even compared to the other Superweek criteriums,” she said. “It’s the only one with a 180-degree turn, which is extremely taxing after 40 laps.Very big roads allow for lots of riders to move around during the race, so it’s a lot more difficult to stay at the front, and at the same time creates a drag race in the final sprint where you can be four or five riders across the road. “Also, probably my favourite part is it has one of the biggest Crowd Primes (prize sprints) in B.C. Superweek. I won the Crowd Prime when I was 15 and 16, and I’m coming back to take my streak back.” – with a file from Maria Rantanen
