The City of Burnaby is set to spend $1.95 million to rebuild part of the parking lot at Barnet Marine Park, after council approved the plan at Monday’s meeting.

“The popularity of the park has brought with it parking and overcrowding problems that today pose unsafe conditions for the public and staff trying to manage the site,” a city report states.

City staff said congestion has increased each summer

over the last decade, with drivers parking in driveways, across train tracks and on lawns. On average, the city hands out 74 bylaw tickets a year and tows 70 cars away from the park, according to the report.

But the problems have persisted and a permanent

solution is needed, staff said.

“To control vehicular movement and to prevent illegal parking, it is proposed that vehicle access into the core active recreation zone north of the railway tracks be restricted,” the report says.

Exceptions will be made for vehicles making deliveries to large groups and events, people dropping off boats, wheelchair access, seniors’ tour buses and emergency vehicles.The renovation will include a drop-off zone to allow for these needs.The city plans to

change the traffic flow, add stalls for people with disabilities and increase the total number of stalls from 135 to 138. It will also add a walkway from the highway into the park and add a bio-filtration drainage system, oil interceptors and a new gutter.

‘Ballet Grandma’ has a special dance Mary Hatch loves it out on the dance floor. OnWednesday, she was treated to a dance to remember.

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

As a child, Mary Hatch came down with rheumatic fever and was unable to walk for a year.

“So my family’s doctor said to put me in something to strengthen my legs,” she recalls.

That’s when the 88-yearold started dancing.

Before long, her legs were strong and grooving to the music.

“You hear music and you can’t wait to get up, you know?”

At 18, Hatch – then performing as Mary Hansen, her maiden name – began dancing professionally.

Whether it was ballet classics like the Nutcracker, the can-can or a brief stint as a backup dancer for American performer Sammy Davis Jr., dancing became Hatch’s ticket to travelling Canada and the world.

Performing with a number of troupes based out of Vancouver and Victoria, Hatch loved the fun and glamour of the job – despite long hours of hard work and practice.

At 21, Hatch married and continued to dance but eventually started a 25-year

I strongly believe that just because you move into a home, doesn’t mean those things have to end.

career at the Royal Bank of Canada, which she says was “not too exciting” in comparison.

This week, Hatch was able to relive her dancing days thanks to the staff at her long-term care facility, Normanna Home in Burnaby.

“We kind of started thinking ‘Oh my goodness, wouldn’t it be great if we let her dance again?’” says Leslie Torresan, the home’s manager of recreation.

The staff arranged for a private dance with an instructor at the Arthur Mur-

ray School of Dance in Coquitlam and a limousine ride to take her there.

“She is getting a little bit weaker, and so we thought we wanted to give her that chance before she was just in the wheelchair all the time,”Torresan says.

So, on Wednesday, Hatch pulled a white, fur-lined coat over her red skirt and shimmering black blouse, slipped on some of her fine jewelry and rode to the dance floor in style.

She was accompanied by a handful of fellow Normanna residents who watched on as their friend rose from her wheelchair to shuffle to some of her favourite tunes from back in the day.

She was guided by a somewhat younger dancer, Timothy Peters.

While the older dancer may have lost some of the mobility that once allowed her to kick her leg over her head, she says the dance brought back fond memories of her heyday.

Torresan describes Hatch as “gregarious,” “outspoken” and “confident, with a wicked sense of humour.”

The staff at Normanna like to see their residents continuing to pursue their passions in their later years, Torresan says.

“I strongly believe that just because you move into a home, doesn’t mean those things have to end,” she says.

Hatch’s granddaughter, Sasha Perret, was there to watch the woman she affectionately calls “Ballet Grandma” hit the dancefloor. She says Hatch has always been a “special soul” who dressed as if every day were a fancy occasion.

“She’s always been so kind and generous and always about the sparkles and diamonds,” Perret says. “(She) always looked like she was ready for a broadway show all my life.”

Asked if she inherited the dancing gene from her grandmother, Perret said she has taken some lessons in classical dance but never pursued it professionally.

“She does everything super,” Hatch says of her granddaughter.

Asked who was the better dancer, however, Hatch says, “Well, I’ve had more training.”

City now Radical property tax model pitched Joannah Connolly

editorial@burnabynow.com

A radical, innovative property tax model to improve housing affordability for renters has been proposed by a UBC associate professor.

In new research in the Canadian Tax Journal, UBC Sauder School of Business associate professor Thomas Davidoff suggests a new method for increasing homeowners’ annual property taxes that would result in lower income and sales taxes for all residents.

In a Q&A on the research, published by the UBC website, Davidoff says, “We’ve got a really outof-balance tax system here – it’s a great place to buy real estate but not a great place to make a living, in terms of tax policy.”

Davidoff suggests that property taxes be calculated based on the potential rent of the home, not the assessed value.That would result in increasing homeowners’ property taxes across the board to around four times the national average

– compared with the low property taxes homeowners currently enjoy.

Davidoff said, “Essentially, what I am proposing is a transfer from owners to renters, meaning property owners would pay more taxes and renters less, but everybody would pay less income and sales tax.This would be possible because, while some of the additional property taxes would stay within the municipality, the rest would get kicked up to the provincial government.

The province could then cut income and sales taxes for everyone, provided, of course, that they treat it as a budget-neutral transfer and don’t find new ways to spend the money.”

For renters, this new system wouldn’t reduce rents but it would mean considerably more money in their pockets to help with living costs. And, for most homeowners, the rise in property taxes combined with lower income and sales taxes would balance out, said Davidoff.

“In short, if you owned a moderate-value home,

it would be a wash. If you owned a fancy home, you would lose, unless you make a really great income, in which case you’re back to a wash.”

He added, “This is really a way to help renters. For example, under the current situation, if you’re a tech sector worker and you have a good salary but you’re really struggling to find a rental in Vancouver, even with your high salary, you’re thinking: “I’m paying really high income tax and really high rent, but my landlord is paying very little in property tax. If we switched that, I’d be better off.”

Davidoff acknowledged it would be tough to get the support of homeowners, especially older homeowners, on this new model, and it would have to be implemented fairly.

“There is a very important block of voters – people near or past retirement age, and homeowners. For them, raising property taxes means less money in their pocket; it means the value of their property falls.”

Police, however, have to treat all such incidents seriously, Panesar said.

“I can’t speak to the exact number of resources that were dedicated to this file,

but a considerable amount of resources are used to investigate these threats to ensure the safety of children and school staff,” she said.

Once the shooting rumour had spread, however, Panesar said students did the right thing this week by reporting it to school officials and parents.

Burnaby school district safe and caring schools director Sue Dorey agrees.

“The kids are learning from this and doing what we’re teaching them,” she said in an emailed statement. “They’re on social media a lot, and, when they see a concern, they let us know.We then work with the RCMP to investigate.”

Dorey said safe school specialists in the district will continue to work with students, teaching “what’s appropriate on social media.”

Burnaby RCMP is urging teens to avoid spreading rumours online after a false school-shooting threat spread among Burnaby South Secondary students earlier this week, eating up police resources and scaring students and parents.

“The resources required to conduct a thorough investigation over a false threat could have a serious impact on other investigations in Burnaby where the resources could have been put to an authentic investigation,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar told the NOW. “Other issues to consider are the fear and stress experienced by other students, parents and school staff.”

A number of students stayed away from school Tuesday, after a rumour spread on Snapchat that someone was planning to shoot up the school.

“Everybody was terrified; everybody was talking about it,” Grade 8 student Bardya Nassirian told the NOW. He said he stayed home after he got a group Snapchat from fellow students at about 7:30 a.m.Tuesday warning of a possible school shooting.

“A lot of students didn’t go to school today,” he said Tuesday.

Panesar said a Burnaby South student had overheard another student making a shooting threat.

That student had then posted that overheard threat on Snapchat, according to

Panesar, and a concerned parent who saw it contacted police.

“After the investigation it was determined that the threat was confirmed false,” Panesar said. “Meaning that

Opinion now OUR VIEW

First step doesn’t erase inaction on homeless file Burnaby council earned some praise last week – for good reason.

Council made a positive step forward after unanimously passing a motion directing staff to formulate a plan to establish a warming centre in each of the city’s four quadrants and a temporary emergency shelter as soon as possible.

Things felt positive. But then Coun. Pietro Calendino had to ruin it all by opening his mouth.

“It’s not humane to leave people out in these kinds of conditions,” said Calendino after introducing the mo-

tion.

Oh, really, Pietro?

It’s not “humane” to let people suffer like this?

That’s really funny coming from you because during all of the years that you and the rest of the Burnaby Citizens Association politicians had a stranglehold on decisionmaking in our city, it never seemed to bother any of you enough to get this done.

No, it took the election of a new mayor, Mike Hurley, to get you and the rest of the BCA cabal to grow a conscience.

This was the general reaction from people who heard

about council’s decision – what the heck took you all so long to do the right thing?

A tweet by local resident Fergus McCann summed it up best: “After all these years as MLA and councillor Pietro now thinks it’s ‘not humane’. In Derek’s absence he’s found his own spine.What a sad man.”

Perhaps the BCA members of council will be surprised that people are criticizing them after doing the right thing, but you can’t ignore a problem year after year and then suddenly expect credit.

Maybe it was because ex-mayor Derek Corrigan ruled with an iron fist that nothing got done, but the group as a collective could have shown some backbone and got this done years ago.

After all, Corrigan was just one vote. Or maybe some or all of them just didn’t care.

Who knows? The fact is, virtually nothing got done to help the homeless before Hurley and Green Coun.

Joe Keithley got elected.

It is true that since 2005, Burnaby has had an extreme weather shelter open on the coldest and wettest nights. But that shelter has

only been open when temperatures drop below freezing or during prolonged inclement weather.

And it was only located in one corner of a vast city.

The inconsistency of that shelter failed to serve the needs of many of Burnaby’s homeless, according to Karen O’Shannacary, with Burnaby’s Society to End Homelessness.

“It could be open one night, when temperatures hovered around -2 C, but closed the next if the thermometer rose to 2 C,” according to our story in last Friday’s edition.

We’re glad this is finally happening.

We’re also glad a temporary shelter that’s open 24 hours a day is next on the list, followed by a permanent shelter.

All of those things are good to hear. But we refuse to applaud the BCA councillors for their decision.

Not yet.

It’s going to take time for their years of inaction to translate into trust.They’re going to have to work harder to earn our respect on this particular file.

We suspect it will be the same for others.

Could your life be dissected?

Picture a courtroom.

Imagine yourself sitting in the dock.

The judge, your defence lawyer and a Crown prosecutor are in front of you.

A witness is in the stand.

In the gallery, a reporter sits with her pen poised above a notepad, ready to put down in black and white the next thing that witness says: “He said he liked young boys, but it’s not a sexual thing.”

There it is, hanging in mid-air, unedited, calling for everyone who hears it or reads it in the newspaper to make up their own minds about what it means – with no input from you.

What would your life look like, unedited in a courtroom?

If police descended on your house without warning right now and told you to step outside while they searched your house for evidence of a crime, what would they find?

What would they find on your computer? What websites would they see you’d visited? What strange things would they find in your closets and cupboards that you’d forgotten were even there?

What thing would catch that reporter’s attention and get her pen moving?

Former Metro Vancouver hockey and baseball coach Randy Downes knows.

Two years ago, his glowering police mugshot was splashed over newspa-

pers and projected onto TV screens around the province after Coquitlam RCMP said he’d been charged with voyeurism and making and possessing child pornography.

The investigation had been “rigorous,” they said, and they had been sure Downes hadn’t been a risk to the physical safety of kids or they would have made the investigation public earlier.

At the same time, though, they called for more potential victims and witnesses to come forward.

If that had been you, what would people have said about you after that?Your friends, your acquaintances, maybe the people you’ve pissed off over the last 30 years?

The child porn charges against Downes were dropped this spring because of a lack of evidence, but he was at the New Westminster courthouse last week facing two remaining voyeurism charges.

His guilt or innocence has yet to be decided since the trial has been put on hold until mid-February.

When it starts up again, though, Downes’ life will once again be under the microscope in court.

Maybe you wouldn’t wince seeing the details of your own private life dissected there.

I would.

Real estate investors stuck in a ‘horrible’ environment Editor: I am (writing) to give my opinion about a direct method of helping the situation now facing Burnaby due to the last council and mayor acting so slowly. What needs to happen for the housing and jobs to come back to Burnaby due to the current provincial government: !All new homes over 4,000 square feet must be allowed two legal suites, no more of filling in half the basement. !Under 4,000 square feet, one legal suite. !All properties over 6,000 square feet and more are allowed laneway homes. !Size up to 950 square feet, two bedrooms, two floors and one or two based parking on the property. Must have one parking on the property for every bedroom. !Homes over 10,000 square feet are allowed a laneway home up to 1,400 square feet, same as above, one parking per bedroom. !Lastly and most productive and helpful to all: all laneway homes must be stratified. It is the future, like it or not, and do it now or later and start now to ease the pain. (It) allows family members to build and own without older family members having a mortgage for their kids. (For) business, when building, a builder has the opportunity to market and sell the house and the laneway separately, making it more affordable and more buyers coming back to Burnaby which is exactly what everyone wanted. This plan is without negative impact such as taxes, slowing markets or loss of jobs. Employment will come back. It

has been destroyed by this current government.

Burnaby can see upswings in revenue with new building permits and overall building again. This revenue has almost stopped, I am sure, except for those who had started before the NDP. This will bring back builders and increase the amount of new rentals with every property developed.

This will then allow the market itself to regulate and it will reduce the rental charge monthly due to the amount available units and competition of rentals. This is the only way to solve the rental issue. This may bring a few investors back until the current (provincial) government is removed and changes are brought back from their rental rate freeze.

I know firsthand that a “rental” condo development that was to be built this year has now stopped. This has created once again a horrible environment for B.C. real estate investors.

Investors require approximately a nine-percent return or more in real estate and most say that would never happen.

Well, typically 2.5-per-cent rental increase plus 1.5- to 2-per-cent annual inflation hike, plus equity growth which one would hope for 4 to 5 per cent. There is now no equity growth and no rate hikes so no investor will come to B.C. Burnaby has the ability to buck the trend and go in a positive direction to create more rentals immediately and bring back building affordability housing with suites and strata laneway homes, not to mention jobs and trades.

So, in conclusion, stop wasting time like the last four years, take action and pass new bylaws ASAP for positive growth in Burnaby.

What Canada can learn from dads in Sweden Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

multiples.The days also don’t expire until the child is eight years old, providing parents with more flexibility on when and who will take the leave depending on their familial needs. As a result, most dads take three to nine months, a staggering increase compared to that time taken by dads in the U.S. and Canada.

Last December the Government of Canada extended parental leave, allowing parents to take up to 18 months; however, a longer leave does not equate to more money from the government. Currently, new parents that fit the requirements are eligible to receive up to a maximum of $537 per week – 55 per cent of their regular salary, capped at just over $51,000 per year.This means that parents who are earning more than the salary cap are receiving significantly less than 50 per cent of their salary, and low-earning parents are receiving only a fraction of that weekly amount to support their families during their first year of parenthood.

Swedish parents – both moms and dads – are working towards putting their families first, and it’s time we do the same.

Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer and editor. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Over the three years that I spent on maternity leave – one year to care for each of my children – I was so thankful to have had a support system.Through parenting groups and Facebook communities, I was able to find solace, surrounded by like-minded parents who were equally as excited and exhausted as I was as a new mom.

What was missing, though, was the presence of men.The playgroups, Facebook communities, and parent and tot activities were packed with moms, and rarely attended by dads.

The same sort of support network was lacking for dads who were looking to connect with like-minded men.

Looking to shine a spotlight on the dads who opt to stay at home with their kids, Johan Bävman launched a world touring exhibition called Swedish Dads, which features photographs and interviews with real Swedish dads who took 6 months or more of parental leave.

In a video on the purpose behind his exhibit, Johan shares his personal journey as a father after reviewing a study conducted on a

group of children in his region. In the study, the children were asked, “Who do you go to for comfort?” An overwhelming number of respondents chose their mother as the first choice, and fathers didn’t appear on the list until the fifth choice – placing lower than the alternative of not going to anyone at all. In response to his findings, Johan started his project, sharing the benefits of staying home and taking full responsibility for the household – not only providing for children, but being an equal part of their emotional space.

He wanted to plant a seed, challenging dads to consider the positive impact that it would have on their families if they stayed home with their children for an extended period of time.

In Stockholm, “Latte Dads” are emerging – groups of men who carry their babies in slings or hang out with their toddlers as a group – a direct result of Sweden’s parental leave policy, one of the most progressive in the world.

Highlights of the policy include 480 days (16 months) of paid leave (80 per cent of salary with a cap), with the caveat that both parents must share the allocated leave. An extended period of time is granted to parents of twins or

Burnaby Village shares Indigenous stories Museum has hired Indigenous educators to teach visitors about local First Nations culture Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

There’s a space in the Burnaby Village Museum where students, teachers and the whole community can learn about the people and culture that has been in Burnaby for thousands of years.

This year, students going through the Burnaby Village Museum to learn about Christmas will also learn about local First Nations culture and celebrations with the help of four recently hired indigenous educators in a space dedicated to indigenous learning.

The museum … has been silent around Indigenous history

Museum staff have been working for two years with Burnaby school district teachers to align their school programs with the newly revised curriculum, and while the new curriculum integrates First Nations content into all areas, Sanya Pleshakov, museum programs coordinator, said their work goes deeper.

It started several years ago with museum staff reaching out to local First Nations and building relationships in order to support learning about local indigenous people in and around Burnaby.

“The museum has been a place that has been silent around Indigenous history in Burnaby for many, many years, and we wanted to make a conscious effort to change that,” Pleshakov said. “So, our first step was to reach out to Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish, Kwantlen – the local nations – so we could establish a relationship and move forward from there.”

This work is a commitment from the museum to do research into indigenous culture and “seek permission” to share it with Burnaby residents and visitors to the museum, Pleshakov said, noting that’s especially important in an era of truth and reconciliation.

The museum has had knowledge keepers and cultural presenters in the past, she said, but now it has been able to hire indigenous presenters to work on school programs.

Over the next few weeks, the museum is expecting 5,000 students for the Heritage Christmas school program and these students will have local indigenous people to teach them about culture and history from their perspective.

The indigenous educators are on site from Monday to Friday until Dec. 19 to share stories, teachings and songs about Coast Salish history and culture in Burnaby.

Meagan Innes is an Indigenous Enhancement Teacher with the Burnaby School District.

She is being contracted over the holiday break as an

interpreter at the Burnaby Village Museum.

Innes is pleased that the Burnaby museum has taken one of the steps of reconciliation, to include indigenous history as part of the museum’s educational offerings.

But the thing she’s most proud of is the space that has been dedicated to indigenous learning.

The room is marked as a “multi-purpose room,” Pleshakov is calling it an “indigenous space,” while Innes calls it the “Indigenous Welcoming House.”

The walls are painted with at-scale silhouettes of animals that used to frequent the area before it

was built up, and there are words in local First Nations languages.

The space came about through “tough discussions” and consultation, Innes said, and she’s proud of the space that was created where students can come and learn about the local First Nations.

“Because of that space being present in the museum, now that dialogue and that conversation is part of a bigger provincewide initiative to include aboriginal world view and perspective into every curricular area in our schools,” Innes said.

Innes said she has big dreams for the space, and

in the future would love to see it used by a local carver where a piece could be made that represents all communities done as west coast art, or a venue for a hide tanning camp, or where drumming, music and art can be produced and traditional teachings are taught.

“I feel that space is a really great example of how one institution wanted to follow some of our 94 calls to action through the (Truth and Reconciliation Commission) and really wanted to see, and hold an indigenous space… where conversations and dialogues could happen at a deeper level,”

Innes said.

It’s a safe place where barriers can be broken down, for professional development for teachers and for students to pick up some history that might be missing from textbooks, she added.

In addition to the added indigenous learning, at the Chinese herbalist shop in the Burnaby Village Museum, staff are leading children in hands-on activities and talking about the history of Chinese-Canadians in Burnaby.

Snowshoeing could be your ticket to a winter wonderland Kelvin Gawley

As the mercury drops and the winter months approach, you may be tempted to crawl into a blanket cocoon, flick on the TV, hibernate and wait to reemerge with the blooming flowers come spring.

But that’s no way to take advantage of winter, according to the president of the Burnaby Outdoor Club, David Cater. He says you should head out to the mountains, strap on some snowshoes and go for an adventure.

“It’s like a winter wonderland out there,” Cater says.

“It’s something that you don’t need to train to be able to do.”

Cater has been a club member for 26 years. He started hiking with the group and added snowshoeing to the list of activities soon after.

In that time he has seen the sport grow from a niche hobby to a popular pastime, especially on the North

Shore mountains.

Now, his club goes on trips most weekends and hopes to begin snowshoeing soon, once there’s enough snow on the ground.

While almost anyone who’s able to hike can snowshoe, Cater said there are some dangers beginners may not be aware of. Snow cornices (an overhanging shelf of snow on a ridge that can look like solid ground from above) and tree wells (hollow spaces in the snow

around tree bases) can pose serious threats, he said.

He recommends beginners stick to well-travelled and marked trails or – better yet – they tag along with the Burnaby Outdoor Club.

Newcomers are welcome to join the group for one trip to try it out and if they want to become members afterwards, the club charges a $30 annual membership fee. For more information, visit burnabyoutdoor.com.

Artsnow Camelot meets Monty Python for holiday panto A Burnaby resident takes the title role when Metro Theatre presents its annual holiday pantomime.

King Arthur’s Court runs Dec. 14 to Jan. 5, with a preview show on Thursday, Dec. 13.

King Arthur is played by Burnaby actor Colton Fyfe (featured in this paper last year when he played Prince Eric in Align Entertainment’s musical production of The Little Mermaid).

His musical skills will once again come into play, as the panto uses song and dance to retell the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table – borrowing from parts of Camelot and parts of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The panto features young Arthur meeting Merlin (played by Sue Sparlin) and being educated, then maturing, meeting Guinevere (Megan Greenwood) and forming the Knights of the Round Table.These knights, however – featuring such gallant characters as Sir Round and Sir Cumspect, among others – are a dys-

functional and argumentative group, and it’s Arthur’s job to get them to collaborate.

There’s also a fire-breathing dragon with throat problems, along with the mainstay of any panto performance – the “Dame,” i.e. a man dressed as a woman (James T.Walker). In this case, it’s Mrs. Baker, the castle cook (not a good one), who has a few kitchen malfunctions along the way.

Plus, naturally, the audi-

ence is invited to cheer and jeer at the forces of good and evil – the Good Fairy (Emma Gold), a glittering spectacle in white, and the Demon (Mark Wolf) in black.

Other Burnaby members of the cast and crew include Katherine Mezei asYoung Arthur and Heather Webster, the stage manager.

The cast of 28 singers, dancers and actors bring the show to life in medieval costumes, backed by a set

MISSING A TOOTH?

People needed to fill stockings A Burnaby florist wants your help stuffing stockings for those who could use cheering up at Christmas.

Plush Floral Studio, 3978B Hastings St., is once again putting together hundreds of stockings that the business and its customers fill with important items to help those less fortunate.

“We will be hand delivering the stockings to someone spending the holidays

on the streets on Christmas Day,” says a statement from Plush. “Let’s beat last year’s record of 400 stockings.”

All you have to do is drop

by Plush and they will give you a Christmas stocking to fill.

Suggested items include warm gloves, hats and socks, toothpaste/brush, lip balm, other personal hygiene essentials, snacks and candy.

“Feel free to personalize your stocking with any items you may like and you may wish to add a note for the recipient – sometimes there is strength in connection, and words may touch someone,” read the statement.

Make sure to drop off the stocking by Dec. 24 so it can be delivered on Christmas Day.

Reduce your use

Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline earlier this fall, B.C.’s natural gas supply will be restricted this winter. Although Enbridge has repaired their pipeline, it is operating at a limited capacity, meaning B.C.’s natural gas system may be challenged during times of peak demand this winter. Where possible, reduce your use by lowering the thermostat, shortening showers and washing laundry in cold water. Every bit you save helps ensure we have the natural gas to keep homes warm and businesses working. fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse

COUNTERTENOR ONSTAGE A Burnaby native will be featured with Early Music Vancouver this Christmas season.

Nicholas Burns, a countertenor who is currently completing his master’s

degree in early music vocal performance at McGill University, is one of the featured singers in Festive Cantatas: Monteverdi ChristmasVespers. It’s on Sunday, Dec. 23 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts.

The performance promises to take audiences back to the glory of a lavish Christmas celebration from the Church of San Marco in 17th-century Venice. Clau-

dio Monteverdi’s music includes eight singers, plus an ensemble of instruments that includes violins, cornetti, sackbuts, theorbos and organ. (If you don’t happen to be familiar with early instruments: the cornett is an early wind instrument popular from 1500 to 1650; the sackbut is a type of trombone from the Renaissance and Baroque eras, and the theorbo is a plucked string

instrument related to a lute.)

“The concert will resound with the glorious sounds of a Christmas celebration you won’t soon forget,” says a write-up about the performance.

David Fallis is the music director.

The concert starts at 3 p.m., with pre-concert talk at 2 p.m. See www.tinyurl. com/EMVVespers2018.

Rizzo Grade 8 Knights end season as finalists makes the cut Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Burnaby centre named to Canada West lineup

Massimo Rizzo is heading to Bonnyville, Alberta, as one of the chosen few.

The Burnaby native was named Wednesday as part of Canada West, which will compete next week at the 2018 World Junior A Hockey Challenge.

The West squad will be looking to defend last year’s title in a pool that includes teams from Canada East, the U.S., Czech Republic and Russia.

The tournament kicks off Dec. 9 with Canada East playing Russia, and Canada West taking on the U.S. A 17-year-old centre, Rizzo was among the group of 40 invited to the tryout camp in Calgary, which took place last weekend.

Due to a back injury, the Burnaby Winter Club product has played in just 15 games this season with the Penticton Vees of the B.C. Hockey League.

He’s made up for lost time by tallying three times and setting up 13 others.

The BCHL has 14 players on the roster, including the Victoria Grizzlies Alex Newhook, whom NHL Central Scouting has ranked in the top10 for the 2018 NHL draft.

The tourney kicks off Dec. 9, and wraps up Dec. 16.

CHIEFS FINISH STRONG Logan Kurki cashed in a pair of goals and set up another, leading the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs past the Thompson Blazers last week in Kamloops.

It was part of a three-point weekend for the Chiefs on their series with the Blazers, which began with a 5-4 overtime loss.

In the win, the Chiefs spotted Thompson a 1-0 early lead before counting the next three goals.

Although the home team would draw even with a twogoal second period,Vancouver Northeast – which draws its players from Burnaby, New West, the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows – tallied three unanswered goals in the third period for the win.

Also scoring were James Bohn, Quinton Hill, Cody Hough and Christian Lowe.

The Chiefs host the South Island Royals on Saturday, 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, at 11:30 a.m., at 8-Rinks.

An early morning start time as well as the bright lights of B.C. Place underscored the importance of the game.

But the players for the St.Thomas More Knights Grade 8 football team were not overwhelmed in their battle with the behemoth Vancouver College Fighting Irish at the B.C. final last Saturday.

Although they ended up on the wrong end of a 26-20 score, the Knights demonstrated all the right stuff in putting in a charge, both early and late.

The two Catholic school programs have a strong rivalry, and despite a larger student body enrolment advantage to the Fighting Irish, the determined Knights were full marks for contesting it right to the end.

“We played three times this sea-

son and it was a one-touchdown game each time,” remarked STM coach John Freire. “We’re two closely matched teams.”

The Knights took the lead on the second play from scrimmage, when quarterback A.J. Caspillo passed to Denis Glavas, who raced 53 yards to the end zone.Vancouver College hit back with two quick TDs, one a pass by QB Ty Benefield, son of former CFL player Daved Benefield.

Down 20-6, STM battled back with a four-yard rushing major by Kairo Chiang.The Irish struck again, this time a 25-yard passing play, to start the fourth quarter.

Chiang would scamper in for one more TD, this time from five yards out, followed by Caspillo’s two-point convert to make it a sixpoint difference.

Friere was extremely pleased with his squad’s performance, Continued on page 25

Moscrop, North reveal grit at provincials

Panthers place fourth, while Vikings place 15th Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In a marathon race, pace is a key.

Add the element of momentum, and you have a recipe for success.

The Moscrop senior girls Panthers established a strong pace early but couldn’t corral the late momentum at last week’s 4-A provincial volleyball championships in Penticton.

Moscrop finished fourth overall, rising to the challenge of playing eight games and 25 sets over a hectic three days.

Although they fell 2-0 to Lord Tweedsmuir last Saturday in the bronze medal match, the squad delivered on a lot of its promise established over the past few years.

They also improved immensely over last year, when they placed 14th at the B.C.s.

“I am so extremely proud of what they have accomplished in their final year at Moscrop,” remarked Panthers coach Kim Or of a group he’s coached for the past four seasons. “The fourth-place finish topped my last (fouryear Panthers) team when we came sixth in (B.C.) at Cranbrook five years ago.”

The Panthers were undefeated in pool play, beating Oak Bay, Penticton, Maple Ridge and Terry Fox. They kicked off the playoff round with a hardfought 3-2 decision over South Delta, which went right down to the wire in a 16-14 clincher.

“We just focused on playing point for point and tried to stay even keel and stick with the process,” Or

BUMP UP: Moscrop’s Stephanie Sung, centre, keeps the ball in play during the Burnaby-New West league final against Burnaby North.

Sung was named to the 4-A provincial second team all star, while teammate Alana Leung was an honourable mention, after helping pilot the team to a fourth-place showing in Penticton last week. PHOTO LISA KING

said. “Let the outcome decide for itself. It was back and forth, and (South Delta) got the break they needed and was leading 14-11 when we showed our grit and resilience and came back to beat them 16-14.

“What a rush it was when Alana (Leung) got the huge block to win that all-important point.”

Off that huge rally, the squad broke a 1-1 battle with Riverside en route to a 3-1 decision in the quarterfinals.

In the semifinals against eventual champion Kelowna, Moscrop took the first set 25-18 before the Interi-

or team gathered itself and took the match with three straight-set wins.

Ending it with a 2-0 loss to Lord Tweedsmuir wasn’t what the team had hoped for, but the gas tank was empty.

Stephanie Sung was named to the second allstar team, while Leung drew an honourable mention award.

“There were a lot of compliments from other coaches and parents that our girls were fun to watch and they really show what a positive culture that we have and the love for each other,” said Or.

Burnaby North, meanwhile, faced a different road after squeaking into the B.C.s.

After going 1-3 in the round robin, the Vikings suffered three straight consolation-round defeats before coming together for a 2-0 win over Okanagan Mission to place 15th overall.

SR. BOYS FINISH FOURTH The Moscrop Panthers senior boys wrapped up the 3-A provincial volleyball championships by finishing fourth overall, falling 3-0 to Claremont in the bronzemedal game.

It came on the heels of a well-played but tough loss to Lower Mainland rival Van Tech, who advanced on the basis of a 3-1 (2523, 26-24, 21-25, 25-20) win.

The Panthers, who fell to the same Talismen in the Lower Mainland final but three weeks ago, had emerged as their pool’s second-place squad after the opening 24 hours.

They kicked off the playoffs by blanking Oak Bay. Picking up a first team all-star award was Martin Prinsloo, while teammate Ted Graveson was selected to the second team.

“There was a real team spirit with these guys,” he said. “It was always about the team, how they could help each other.

There were no individuals, no personal aspirations, just the team.”

One of only four Grade 8 teams in B.C. that play 11-man football, STM advanced to the final by beating Earl Marriott 32-6

Freire said the program reaped the benefit of a handful of experienced players and a number of keen first-timers, who meshed well together.

“We had a lot of speed with this group and we took advantage of it,” he noted. “We had a good leadership core, and the new players were very coachable.”
