A Burnaby house fire a few weeks ago could well have ended in tragedy if not for a pair of unlikely heroes. Ever since 13-year-old Deon Johnson can remember, he and his Russian great-grandmother, Rimma Mussina, have lived in the same house. She doesn’t speak English, so he has learned to speak Russian.

“We both love each other,” he said. “We have a really good relationship. She’s a really nice, caring person.” Since contracting polio at age three, the 86-year-old Mussina has had only limited use of her legs. Going to school and work in Russia and later Turkmenistan, she got around with braces and crutches. At home, among family, however, she would sometimes do without her arti-

ficial supports, using only her upper body to make her way around the house. “To me, it’s normal,” said her granddaughter,Victoria Aganova, Deon’s mother. “When I was little and my mom was away, she would have a dress on and she would put me between her legs on the dress, and, because we had hardwood floors, then she would take me with her, drag me around with her on the dress.”

Her grandmother doesn’t like using a wheelchair, Aganova said, because she finds it “belittling,” so, when a fall and a broken leg made it impossible for her to continue using crutches about five years ago, she preferred making her way around the house with her hands. To cook meals, she pulls herself onto a wheeled office chair. Mussina moved to Canada about 13 years ago to live with her daughter’s

family. When fire broke out at their Mark Crescent home last month, Mussina’s mobility challenges put her life in jeopardy, but they didn’t stop her from saving her great-grandson. On Nov. 21, she woke up at about 6:20 a.m. Her daughter and sonin-law had already left for work, and Deon – her only great-grandchild – was asleep in the room next to hers.

The house was dark, but she could see an orange glow reflected on the wall outside her room. She pulled herself out of bed and into the hallway, where she witnessed an arc of flames shooting out of a hallway closet and across the ceiling to the opposite wall, she said. She called to Deon, whose room was quickly filling with smoke.

Citynow POLICING

RCMP bike patrols back on the street Cancelled earlier this year, the Burnaby RCMP are on bikes once again in what’s called an ‘effective unit’

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Baby, it’s cold outside, but that won’t stop Burnaby RCMP’s recently resurrected bike squad from making its rounds. When cycling isn’t an option because of inclement weather, the patrol will take to their gams and conduct good old-fashioned foot patrols. “They are an absolutely effective unit,” Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh told the NOW at a media event Wednesday. “They can go through alleys, laneways, sidewalks, go into the malls, go into the stores, transit hubs in a way that the police cars can’t.They’re very visible, very proactive, communitybased.” The bike squad has been back on the road for less than a month. Burleigh, who took over as the head of Burnaby RCMP last December, mothballed it before the summer because of a shortage of police resources, she said. The city hadn’t funded an increase in the local detachment’s numbers since 2008, she explained, and the seven officers who had been serving as bike cops during the summers were needed to deal with a growing number of 911 calls. The decision raised concern at the city’s public safety committee, but former Mayor Derek Corrigan said it was up to the officer in charge to allocate the local detachment’s resources as she saw fit, and the city was not to blame for the loss of

the bike squad. The bike patrol soon became an election issue, though, when mayoral candidate Mike Hurley promised to reinstate it if he was elected. But Mounties didn’t have to wait till then. Three months before the Oct. 20 election, Corrigan and his Burnaby Citizens Association council unanimously approved a plan to hire eight extra officers in 2018 and six more in 2019,

allowing for the bike patrol to be reinstated. “The community wanted a bike squad; I wanted a bike squad, and now I had resources where I could deploy four of the 14 that were given to the bike squad,” Burleigh said this week. Also speaking to the NOW this week, Mayor Hurley said he wasn’t bothered about the election-time funding announcement potentially stealing his thunder.

“I’m not going to look back on anything like that. I’m just happy that the right thing’s being done. Police officers are on the street where they belong,” he said. The resurrected bike squad is made up for four members instead of the previous seven, but the new squad will be active all year round. Const. Aaron Cheng said he was drawn to the patrol because he knew it would allow him a “greater vari-

Five drivers nailed for impairment Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Five impaired drivers lost their licences on just the first night of Burnaby RCMP’s holiday CounterAttack enforcement last weekend. Other drivers were ticketed for distracted driving, no insurance and no licence. Local Mounties launched their enforcement push on Saturday night and will continue to target alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers throughout the month of December.

“With so many options available for transportation, there really is no excuse to drive impaired,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar said in an RCMP press release. “Plan for a safe ride home by arranging a designated driver, call a taxi or take transit.” Traffic Services and other police agencies will set up check stops on prime days and times when impaired drivers are most likely to be on the roads and when most impairment-related crashes happen. Among the officers will be drug recognition experts specially trained to assess drivers who might be impaired by drugs – pre-

scription or otherwise. On average, 68 people die every year in crashes involving impaired drivers in B.C. More than half of impairment-related crashes occur on the weekend, between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley wants the carnage to stop. “In my previous work as a firefighter, I’ve seen firsthand the devastation that impaired driving can cause,” he said in the release. “I join with our police officers in asking that, if you are impaired, ensure you organize a safe ride home.”

ety of interactions with the public.” “We’re not in a vehicle with 300 horsepower and all this aluminum frame separating us, right?” he said. The bike patrol members’ bright yellow jackets make them highly visible, and Cheng said members of the public haven’t been shy about approaching them. “It really feels like we’re part of the community,” he said. As for the squad’s crime-

fighting activity, just last week it had a two-for-one call at the Bob Prittie Library – first quelling a disturbance and then spotting and arresting an individual wanted on a B.C.-wide warrant. But the bulk of the patrol’s contacts during the first few weeks have been with people “who’ve been dealt a bad hand,” according to Cheng. “We are encountering a lot of people who are homeless, and maybe we didn’t expect to see it in the volume that we’re seeing it and in the areas that we’re seeing it,” he said. Along with their other equipment, the bike cops carry pamphlets listing community resources where people can get help. Burleigh said the bike squad is already making a difference in the community, and she will be looking to see if more members can be added after the detachment hires its six extra Mounties next year. “I have to take a look at where the pressures are. Our number 1 priority is response to 911 calls,” she said. In the meantime, she put local crooks on notice, saying the bike squad could show up anytime, anywhere. “People don’t expect to see them.They just sort of show up,” she said. “They’re going into areas and seeing things that we would normally get a complaint from a citizen on.They’re seeing it and they’re reacting right then and there.”

GrandVilla Casino strike averted A strike at Burnaby’s Grand Villa Casino has been averted. More than 1,200 members of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) working at Gateway’s Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby and Starlight Casino in New Westminster voted to accept new collective agreements. In November, the Grand Villa workers voted 88.6 per cent to strike. The four-year contract includes a weighted average of 15-per-cent wage increases over the life of the agreement, with some of the lowest-paid workers receiving over

20-per-cent increases, according to the union. BCGEU represents over 800 workers at Gateway’s Grand Villa Casino and over 450 at Starlight Casino. BCGEU members work in table games, as slot attendants, cashiers, in the count room, kitchen, restaurants, security, guest services and maintenance. Back in July, unionized employees at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam went back at work after voting to ratify — barely — a new labour contract with the company, ending a 10-week strike.

Bird injuries from hitting windows preventable: group Cayley Dobie

A belted kingfisher is recovering from a head injury after crashing into a window last month – an injury that was preventable, according to the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. The belted kingfisher was brought from Bowen Island to the Burnaby-based rescue association after flying into a window on Nov. 18. The bird sustained central nervous system trauma and a lesion to its right eye.This caused swelling and made it hard for the bird to stand. Its feathers were also damaged, which has interfered with waterproofing, according to a press release. The association says the kingfisher’s injuries could have been prevented if a few safety precautions had been taken. “The public can help all birds avoid striking windows by applying these easy steps: put decals on windows on the outside of the window; move plants, feeders and

bird baths away from the house and windows; and close blinds when you’re not at home,” read the release. The rescued kingfisher, meanwhile, is still in the care of the association. Technicians have been force feeding the bird to help it regain its strength. They’ve also been misting the bird to encourage it to preen its damaged feathers, according to the release. “She is recovering well in our pre-release enclosure,

gaining weight and flying; her flight improves every day,” Janelle Stephenson, wildlife hospital manager, said in the release. Staff expect the kingfisher to make a full recovery, and the bird will be released back into the wild once it’s ready. Belted kingfishers are widespread around waters that have abundant fish populations.They feed on small fish and hunt by diving into the water.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Stakes high for everyone in legislature scandal

With two entrenched parties going at it year after year in B.C. politics, it’s not surprising we’ve had our fair share of scandals. But this most recent upset over allegations of financial impropriety in the offices of the legislature clerk and sergeant-at-arms takes the cake. While at first glance it would seem to be a simple matter of sorting out the problems and getting to the bottom of whether there needs to be better checks

and balances in place at the legislature, the fact that this issue is taking place as the BC NDP and BC Greens try to govern with the slimmest of majorities, one wonders if there isn’t more to it. If speaker Darryl Plecas is unable to maintain credibility after his most recent outburst and the hiring of a friend, Allen Mullen, as a special adviser, and then recommending him to replace one of the ousted clerks, the BC Liberals will continue to press advantage

Plecas hasn’t done himself any favours by bringing in a friend to help him with the investigation. in what is a proxy war between the major parties. Both the NDP/Green coalition and the BC Liberals have a lot at stake, with the governing coalition needing Plecas to stay and the Liberals needing him to go. Certainly, Plecas hasn’t

done himself any favours by bringing in a friend to help him with the investigation and later recommending him for a job as sergeant-atarms. And last week he vociferously defended himself when a wiser course given

the current RCMP investigation would have been to stay mum. Now he has to be able to produce the goods of financial wrongdoing, as he has promised to do in January 2019. The senior legislative officers were led out of the legislature by police on Nov. 20, but so far neither the RCMP nor the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch has provided much, if any, information about the allegations. The clerks themselves

have said they don’t know why they are being investigated. In the meantime, B.C.’s auditor general can’t sign off on the books until she knows more about the allegations. All of this is somewhat horrifying to even the most casual observer of the B.C. legislature, and we would hope for more details and cooler heads to prevail in the new year.

INBOX MARIO CANSECO

Can we build our way out of a crisis? In the weeks leading up to October’s municipal elections in British Columbia, housing was the most ubiquitous issue for voters. There were endless conversations, distinct policy platform positions and a feeling that cities were simply unaffordable for people who wanted to carry on with their lives and their careers. The issue of “supply and demand” provided plenty of fodder on social media, but the public soon realized that dealing with housing affordability is more complex than making a promise. It requires several government levels and, from a strictly political standpoint, an emotional connection with voters to outline whether things are on the right track. In late November, Research Co. asked Metro Vancouverites about three simple issues: should we build more or fewer housing units, should we have more or fewer new housing units devoted exclusively to rentals, and has the time come for Canada to consider the possibility of banning noncitizens from buying real estate in the country? The views of residents varied greatly on all three topics. When Metro Vancouverites were told that 75,000 new housing units were built in the region from 2015 to 2017, one-third of respondents (34 per cent) said they believe we should build more than we did over this three-year period. Just over a quarter of Metro Vancouverites (27 per cent) surveyed believe we should build at roughly the same pace as we did

over the three-year period, while one in five (19 per cent) wants to build less. This so-called “anti-density” crowd amounts to almost half of Metro Vancouverites surveyed, creating a conundrum for policy-makers and councils who may have promised to simply build their way out of the housing crisis. There are some slight regional differences. A higher proportion of City of Vancouver residents (38 per cent) support a “build more” strategy than of those who live in the City of Surrey (33 per cent) and other Lower Mainland municipalities (32 per cent). It must be acknowledged that approximately 23 per cent of the 75,000 housing units built from 2015 to 2017 were exclusively for rentals. When we asked Metro Vancouverites how much of whatever new is built should be allocated for rentals, we got a little bit closer to a consensus. Three-in-five Metro Vancouverites (61 per cent) surveyed believe we should build more rental units than what was allotted from 2015 to 2017. Majorities of respondents of both genders and all age groups – as well as renters and owners – agree with this course of action. In fact, only one in 20 Metro Vancouverites (five per cent) would prefer to assign fewer new units to rentals. But, as has been the case for years, the favourite target of residents who are upset with the housing status quo is non-Canadians. Continued on page 7

City too slow to save epic tree A city bylaw didn’t get past third reading in time to save a 35-foot cypress tree growing on the grounds of historic J.A.Thurston House in Metrotown. Under a controversial development plan, the Craftsman-style house was to be moved to one side of the lot to make way for a new four-storey group home. Had the bylaw been approved before the tree was cut, the developer would have faced a penalty or fine. Since the bylaw hadn’t passed, all the city could do was to ask the developer to plant a replacement tree. Neighbours were not pleased.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2013

BurnabyNOW FRIDAY December 14, 2018 7

Opinionnow Seniors want rentals: poll Continued from page 6 The survey reminded respondents about the situation in New Zealand, where legislation was recently passed to ban most foreigners from buying real estate in the country. The New Zealand law contemplates exceptions for foreigners who hold residency status in New Zealand, as well as citizens from Australia and Singapore, due to free-trade agreements. Almost four in five Metro Vancouverites (77 per cent) supported enacting similar legislation in Canada.This is consistent with the high level of endorsement that the foreign-buyer tax – in all of its forms – has garnered over the past few years. Housing will undoubtedly continue to dominate the agenda at the municipal level for the next four years. The way in which residents are reacting to specific issues related to solving the crisis is dissimilar. There is huge support for a ban on foreign ownership of real estate, which can be partly attributed to recent

TAKE NOTICE THAT the City Council proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 13968 cited as “Burnaby Highway Closure Bylaw No. 6, 2018” pursuant to Section 40 of the Community Charter. The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to close and remove the dedication of certain portions of highway – closure of small portion of lane allowance at the northwest corner abutting 6525 Telford Avenue (all that portion of lane in District Lot 153, Group 1, New Westminster District, dedicated by Plan 26877, containing 27.6m²) shown outlined on Reference Plan prepared by Mike E. Shaw, B.C.L.S. It is proposed to place this bylaw before City Council for consideration of Final Adoption at the regular Council Meeting scheduled for 2019 January 28.

media coverage of people who profited from decidedly advantageous situations that are unreachable for residents. A drastic change on this file is in the hands of the federal government. Adding more units to the rental stock appears to be a popular argument and an idea that has broader support among residents aged 55 and over.They may either be thinking of downsizing or know someone who is considering leaving a city because of housing costs. However, when it comes

to “supply and demand,” there is no definitive answer. Millennials want to get into the market and are more likely to call for more construction, whereas almost half of generation Xers and a majority of baby boomers surveyed would keep the same pace or reduce it. Those who are already in the real estate market appear to be primarily concerned about the look and feel of their neighbourhood – at least for now. Mario Canseco is the president of Research Co.

The proposed Bylaw and Plan may be inspected at the Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaw is provided an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the bylaw to Burnaby City Council by submitting a letter addressed to: Mayor and Council, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C. V5G 1M2. All submissions must be received by the City Clerk no later than Noon, Wednesday, 2019 January 23. Kate O’Connell CITY CLERK Burnaby City Hall 4949 Canada Way Burnaby, BC V5G 1M2

The days of the Burnaby school district’s 70-yearold administrative offices on Kincaid Street are numbered. A bylaw to rezone the 3.224-acre property at 5325 and 5385 Kincaid St. from P2 administration and assembly to R2 residential passed first reading at city council Monday. The proposed plan, which would see the school district offices demolished and the property subdivided into 18 single-family residential lots, now goes to a public hearing on Jan. 29 at 6 p.m. In 1958, when the offices were built, the property was rural land, but a residential neighbourhood has since sprung up around them. The district plans to sell the rezoned property to a developer and use the proceeds to fund the construction of new offices that will be attached to the Schou Street School heritage building at 4041 Canada Way. About 79 people attended a community informa-

tion meeting in May about the rezoning of the Kincaid property, according a staff report to council. “In general, attendees were in support of the proposed single-family development,” states the report. “However, some concerns were raised concerning the potential size and scale of dwellings, and the loss of trees on site.” Included in a list of rezoning prerequisites recommended by staff is a tree survey and arborist’s report “to determine whether any existing trees are suitable for

retention.” “The removal of trees over 20 centimetres in diameter would require a treeremoval permit,” states the report. The estimated value of the rezoned Kincaid property will be about $15.4 million, which is almost identical to the estimated cost for building the new offices, according to school district secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill. The district hopes to be in its new digs on Canada Way by spring 2021.

City now MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT YVR.

She didn’t want to save herself if she wasn’t able to save him Continued from page 1 The fire was growing between them and the way out. Deon could feel the heat when he woke up. “The whole house was very smoky,” he said. “I couldn’t really see anything.” As soon as he was startled awake, however, the 13-year-old sprang into action. He called 911 right away and then quickly grabbed his great-grandmother by the pyjamas and pulled her through the arc of flames toward the front door. “It got bigger once I got her out,” he said of the house fire. As firefighters began to arrive, Deon also ran around the building and into the back door to open the kennel for the family’s German shepherd. Meanwhile, the hubbub of the arriving fire trucks alerted homestay students staying in rooms down-

stairs. The real seriousness of the situation didn’t hit Deon until he got back outside, he said. “Mostly I was just worried about my grandma,” he said. A few moments more, and she might not have made it, according to Mussina. “He could have broken a window and he could have

gotten out, but not me,” Mussina said with help from her granddaughter, who translated from Russian to English. Aganova couldn’t hold back the tears as she translated her grandmother’s next few words: “She said she would have saved him, but she didn’t want to save herself if she didn’t save him.”

Hockey player grateful for return to the ice Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Stepping onto the ice at Burnaby’s 8 Rinks arena is usually no big deal for legions of recreational hockey players who play there each week. For Ken Carrusca, though, it was a personal victory last month – and part of a kind of ongoing miracle. Less than a year ago, on Jan. 14, the 50-year-old was brought back from the brink of death through the intervention of teammates, a referee and an AED after his heart stopped during the

first period of a Sunday afternoon Adult Safe Hockey League (ASHL) game. After quadruple bypass surgery and months of recovery, he stepped back onto the ice on Nov. 25 for his first game back with his team, Can’t Skate Backwards. “I survived to tell the tale,” he said with a laugh. Even after getting the green light from doctors in October, though, Carrusca said getting back on the ice wasn’t easy. “I was still quite anxious going back to hockey because obviously the last time I played, I didn’t drive

home,” he said. Between shifts, he said he was careful to monitor his heart rate on his Fitbit. No stranger to injuries,

… the last time I played, I didn’t drive home. Carrusca said all he wanted to do after a past knee surgery, a broken leg and a torn bicep was to get back to hockey – but the cardiac arrest was different. He’s still not sure wheth-

er he’ll keep playing, but he said he needed to prove to himself that he could if he wanted to. In an emotional Facebook post on the night of his return to hockey, Carrusca thanks the people who saved his life: teammates, an 8 Rinks referee who assisted, firefighters, paramedics, staff at Royal Columbian and Vancouver General hospitals, therapists, doctors, friends and family. He ended the post with a plea. “If you’ve read this far, make a note to Google St. John Ambulance and sign up for a CPR course,” he

wrote. “Someone around you may end up being eter-

nally grateful. I am.”

B.C.’s natural gas supply may be limited this winter

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

Old Orchard Centre Corner of Kingsway and Willingdon

Gallery announces ﬁrst exhibition of the new year He’s a storyteller whose tales are told through oil on canvas. Jay Senetchko, who was one of the featured artists in Luminescence III at Deer Lake Gallery in March 2018, returns to the gallery with a solo show running Jan. 19 to Feb. 9. Rich Dark Soil opens at the gallery (6584 Deer Lake Ave.) on Saturday, Jan. 19 with a reception from noon to 4 p.m. The exhibition title refers to the practice and heritage of the artist, who is originally an Albertan of Ukrainian descent. “Although he is most easily defined as a painter, he situates his practice in a broader material context and process, which includes photography, digital media, sculptures, performance and installations,” says a press release about his show. Senetchko’s primary medium is oil on canvas, which he uses as a figurative realist to create narrative-based paintings.

City now War Amps winding up 100th anniversary year The War Amps’ 100th anniversary yearlong celebration is coming to a close. What began as an association to assist war amputee veterans returning from the First World War, has expanded its programs over the years to support all amputees, including Austin Elias of Burnaby. Now five years old, Austin was born a right-leg amputee and, as a member of the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, is eligible for financial assistance for artificial limbs and recreational devices. He also attends regional CHAMP seminars where “Champs” and their parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child. “We are so thankful for the support that the War Amps provides to Austin and our family.

Sportsnow Champs skaters in ﬁne form Burnaby club sees strong showing at first national event Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The results weren’t measured in medals as much as in personal marks and experience. For the first major national figure skating competition of the season, the Skate Canada Challenge two weeks ago produced its share of highlights for members of Burnaby’s Champs International Skating Club of B.C. The club, based out of the Canlan 8-Rinks facility, saw a handful of medals achieved, including bronze medals by Brendan Wong, in pre-novice men’s, and Beres Clements, in junior. Also collecting silver were ice dancing teamsYuka Orihara and Lee Royer, in junior dance, and Haley Sales and Nikolas Wamsteeker, in senior dance. (See the NOW’s online story on the ice dance results at www.burnabynow.com.) “Brendan was amazing,” remarked Champs coach Joanne McLeod. “He conquered a flip jump that is rare among prenovice skaters and came up with a record-breaking personal skate at the right moment.” His score in the long program – 63.33 points – was second in his division, and combined with his short program gave him a total of 95.36, less than two points back of a silver medal. Clements’ result saw him jump from seventh after the short program into third with the secondbest skate in the free program. It was his first national medal. He finished just ahead of fellow Champs skater and Burnaby native Aleksa Rakic.The junior men’s skater finished fourth, having topped the whole division in the short program. However, an equipment issue that forced him to stop mid-performance and restart proved costly, McLeod said. “It was a record-breaking (short) points result for (Rakic),” she noted. “He would have been on the podium if not for the equipment issue, which saw them deduct points for having to re-tie his skates and regroup.” In novice men’s results, Shuma Mugli finished fourth, while clubmate Shohei Law placed eighth overall. For senior women’s skater Sarah Tamura, a sharp result in the short program, which put her third overall, was countered by a work-in-progress routine in the free program, which bumped her to 10th place.

Sinclair scoops up annual award Canadian captain’s goal a major moment in 2018

Another year, another memorable season for Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair. In October, the veteran Team Canada striker tallied the winning goal in a 7-0 victory over Panama to clinch a berth to the FIFA 2019 Women’s World Cup.The win qualified Canada for a seventh straight World Cup. This week, that goal, along with a hundred other things she’s done, resulted in the 35-yearold Sinclair being named the Canadian Woman Player of theYear. The selection was through a vote shared by Canadian media and Canadian coaches. “Christine Sinclair showed that you can continue to add layers to your performance, regardless of age, if you work hard,” said Kenneth Heiner-Møller, Canada Soccer’s women’s national team head coach. “Her great physical shape helped her play every minute for Portland Thorns FC and also led Canada to (qualify for) yet another FIFA Women’s World Cup.” For the 15th time in 19 years, Sinclair led Canada in goal scoring, posting eight goals and two assists over 12 international matches, while finishing second on the team in minutes played, at 979. Canada won eight of 12 games. By helping Canada place second at the CONCACAF women’s championships, Sinclair claimed her eighth tourney medal since 2002. She currently has 177 international goals on her resume, and sits seven back of all-time international scoring leader Abby Wambach. With Portland in the women’s pro league, she played all 2,160 minutes and guided the team to second place. Sinclair finished with nine goals, tied for third in the league, and chipped in six assists. She was named to the league’s second all-star team and helped the Thorns reach the championship final. “Her ability to lead her line as well as the players around her while at the same time performing at her level is simply remarkable and unique,” said Heiner-Møller. “Sinclair is a notorious goal scorer, but she should also get credit for her ability to set up goals. She is an important part of the build-up play for both her club and our women’s national team.”

Long, rollercoaster ride for Moscrop The senior boys volleyball team were tested and resilient but couldn’t get pastVan Tech Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s water under the bridge for Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers. Members of the Panthers senior boys volleyball team have healed a few scrapes and rested sore muscles since the 3-A provincials concluded two weeks ago in Langley. The memories of an arduous run and a fourth-place finish will last a lot longer. Although the season ended with a 3-0 loss to Claremont in the bronze medal match, Moscrop coach JerryYan feels the sum total of their efforts and determination was medal worthy. “Oh man, it’s been a long season,”Yan wrote in an email to the NOW. “We started late August and ended on Dec. 1. Everyone on

the team worked really hard dayin and day-out to earn everything that we’ve accomplished. Adding another fourth-place finish to the Moscrop senior boys program is nothing to be ashamed of.” Placing second at the Lower Mainlands gave the Burnaby boys a measure of motivation to start the B.C.s, where they were locked into a tough pool. But they emerged hungry and took down crosstown rival Burnaby Central 3-1.That vaulted them into a quarterfinal match against Oak Bay, where they prevailed 3-0. It meant another showdown with Lower Mainland champ Van Tech, who two weeks earlier usurped the Panthers in that final. It had a similar ending, too, with the Talismen holding the upperhand in a 3-1 win.

The first two sets were intense and tightly fought, with Van Tech coming out ahead 25-23, 26-24.

“We were on the bottom side of that trade off in the first two sets where we had a few errors towards the end of each set which gave Tech the advantage,”Yan noted. “Regardless, those two sets were really fun to watch because both teams were consistent on serve reception and were siding-out really well.” Moscrop took the third set 2125, but couldn’t carry it over, falling 25-20 in the fourth set. After that loss, rising to play Claremont for third place was a final test of resilience. In that department, the Island team had an edge. “I don’t think our guys bounced back well after the loss in the semifinals. Claremont came out strong and their block-defence gave us a Continued on page 25

Chiefs prep for Mac’s Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Emboldened by a major invitation, the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs have been skating on Cloud 9 ever since. The Chiefs have won five of their last six games since learning they would be competing at the Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary, which begins during the last week of December. Since then they’ve outscored their B.C. Major Midget league rivals 37-16, including last weekend’s 6-3 and 6-1 victories over the South Island Royals. What earned them the ticket to Calgary was an impressive 14-4-2-2 record, Chiefs head coach Jeff Urekar said. “They were all very excited when we (told them),” said Urekar, who is in his first full season as head coach. “We thought we had put together enough wins to be invited, but you never know because they only take so many teams.” Stacked with many of the best midget-aged teams from across Western Canada, central and western U.S. and European clubs, the Mac’s is renowned for being a scouting haven during the final week of the year. The Chiefs have shown over the past month that the berth was deserved. In Saturday’s win, Jack

Steffens scored twice as the Northeast squad jumped ahead 3-0 in the first period. South Island answered back with a pair, but defenceman James Bohn fired in the game-winning goal. Quinton Hill, Sam Schofield and Dylan Wilson also scored, while Burnaby netminder Michael Harroch collected the win. Harroch was again in goal Sunday to backstop the 6-1 decision. In that contest, Nicolas Roussel counted a pair of goals and twin helpers to spark the team past the ninth-place Royals. Also tallying were Burnaby blueliner Jackson Murphy-Johnson, Logan Kurki, Justin Scott and Hill. Team captain Dante Ballarin and Kurki entered the game after playing for the Coquitlam junior A Express on Saturday.They both scored in the Express’ 8-4

win over Surrey, with Ballarin’s netting the winner. “It was great to see them both get on the scoreboard,” said Urekar. “They’re all working towards climbing the junior hockey ladder, and we’re extremely pleased when our players get these opportunities.” Murphy-Johnson is using his six-foot-two frame and looking the part of a defender, noted Urekar. “He’s embraced the defence role and been a shutdown guy for us.” This weekend’s games in Kelowna, where they play the fourth-place Rockets in a doubleheader, are the last action before a holiday break. It also sets the table before a brief breather, leading into the trip to Calgary. “It’s very fast-paced hockey.We’re taking an older group this year, so I expect us to really do well.”

Sheehan enjoyed strong tournaments. It was the third time in recent years that Moscrop finished fourth at the B.C.s. “All-in-all, this team overcame a lot of adversity and I’m happy they are able to walk away content, and I hope they’re able to look back at their season as a highlight of their lives,” addedYan.
