Heavy rains cause backyard landslide City of Burnaby has been watching the area since January, when a shift in the ground had been observed

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby says the exact cause remains unknown for a landslide that swept away portions of several South Burnaby backyards last week.

The edges of the yards off Gray Avenue slid towards Gray Creek Ravine last Thursday night or Friday morning.

One of the residents, Martin Que, told the NOW he was worried about his yard.

“We’ve never had anything like this happen before,” he said.

The city has been monitoring the area since January, when a lateral shift in the ground was first observed, according to Burnaby’s manager of public works operations, Brian Carter.

At the time, a geotech consulting engineer inspected the site and determined there was likely too much weight on the land above the ravine, Carter said.

“They suspected a bit of an overburdening of … vegetative material, plus some fill, a retaining structure wall and a deck that was there,” he said.

Carter said he thinks the deck in question was removed, but he wasn’t sure whether the retaining structure was still there.

The city has regularly monitored the area since January and continues to do so daily since last week’s slide, he said.

On Friday, the day of the slide, a geotech examined the scene to ensure it was safe for the residents to remain in their homes, Carter said.

“We’re conducting some more assessments to determine the ac-

such a process.

He said about 90 per cent of the land affected was on private property.

According to Carter, the slide could have been caused by a com-

bination of rainfall, slope instability, high water level of the creek and more factors. An engineering consultant will determine the cause and strategies for preventing a repeat incident, he said.

For now, he said, the city is focused on ensuring the safety of residents in the area.

“We’re taking it very seriously,” Carter said.

Caregiver sentenced for draining couple’s bank accounts Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby caregiver who stole $260,000 over 16 months from an elderly Coquitlam couple she was caring for has been sentenced to a year in jail and 18 months’ probation.

Antonette Dizon was hired in September 2014 by Henry and Helen Abfalter, both 86, to provide homecare assistance, according to court documents.

The couple were living in a retirement home and needed extra help because of their deteriorating health.

“Ms. Dizon spent a great deal of time with them and developed a close relationship with both of them,” said B.C. Provincial Court Judge Robin McQuillan in a Dec. 13 court ruling.

PIN NUMBER One of the things Dizon helped the couple with was banking, and at some point she learned the PIN for Henry Abfalter’s debit card, according to the ruling.

Shortly after he was hospitalized in December 2014, she stole that debit card from his wallet in his bedroom.

From January 2015 to April 2016 – until well after Henry Abfalter’s death in September 2015 – she proceeded to drain the couple’s accounts of $260,000.

The thefts were finally discovered on April 28, 2016, by the Abfalters’ daughter, who had power of attorney over her mother’s accounts.

Alarmed by a large drop in her mother’s bank balance since January 2015, she made inquiries and found out about the regular with-

drawals from ATMs. She reported them to police.

‘THE KINDEST PERSON’ From bank surveillance videos, investigators then determined it was Dizon using the debit card.

Dizon confessed to the crime after she was arrested and pleaded guilty on May 15, 2018 to one count of theft over $5,000.

She said she had taken the money to provide her children with a good life, paying for such things as a new car and tuition for her daughter, a trip to Disneyland, bedroom furniture and a cleaning business. She had almost no money left at the time of her arrest.

Helen Abfalter, who was by then 91 years old, died nine months after Dizon’s crime was discovered.

“When she first became aware

that Ms. Dizon was responsible for the loss of her money, she initially refused to believe it, referring to Ms. Dizon as ‘the kindest person,’” stated the court ruling. “She was devastated when she had to acknowledge Ms. Dizon as the perpetrator.”

Crown prosecutors called for Dizon to be sentenced to 16 to 18 months in jail and 12 to 18 months’ probation. The Crown also asked for a restitution order.

Dizon’s lawyer, meanwhile, argued for a six-month jail term and a period of probation.

RESTITUTION In delivering her sentence, McQuillan noted mitigating factors in the case, including Dizon’s guilty plea, her remorse, her lack of a criminal record, her history as a hard worker and the “public

shame and humiliation” she has already faced from media attention to her case.

But McQuillan also highlighted the length of time the thefts took place, the amount of money taken, the age and vulnerability of the Abfalters and the fact Dizon had apparently breached their trust and close friendship because of greed instead of need.

“She had unlimited opportunities to reflect on what she was doing and to correct or at least stop her conduct,” McQuillan said.

“She did not do so.”

Along with the jail sentence and probation, McQuillan ordered Dizon to pay Helen Abfalter’s estate back $105,000 – the sum it wasn’t able to recoup through seizing assets and settling civil suits with the bank and the homecare agency Dizon had worked for.

City now Gas line rupture forces evacuation A Burnaby linen cleaning facility had to be evacuated recently because of gas line rupture.

A worker who smelled gas at K-Bro Linen Systems (8035 Enterprise St.) activated an alarm shortly before 11 p.m. on Dec. 5, according to assistant fire Chief DaveYounger.

The building was evacuated while firefighters

worked to locate the source of the gas.

It turned out to be a leak in a four-inch natural gas line outside of the industrial building. After Fortis turned off the gas, it was determined the cause of the leak was a halogen light resting on a blanket wrapped around a regulator on the gas line, saidYounger.

Regulators are used to

control gas pressure.

Heat from the light melted the regulator on the pipe, releasing gas that then caught fire, he said.

The small blaze was extinguished by a K-Bro Linen Systems worker, according toYounger, but the pipe continued to leak gas until Fortis shut it down.

“It definitely wasn’t safe,” Younger said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Demoviction fears still hang over Metrotown area

As the final days of 2018 count down, we look ahead to what the big issues will be in 2019.

It turns out, the issues of 2018 will be much like 2019.

The affordability crisis shows no signs of going away, although for 2019 there will be a different twist in Burnaby.

That comes from the moratorium on demovictions that new Mayor Mike Hurley promised during his election campaign.

Hurley, who was sworn

into office Nov. 5, has promised a moratorium on redevelopment approvals in Metrotown until the city has a comprehensive plan to better accommodate tenants affected by demovictions – evictions for the purpose of demolishing a building, often to make way for a new condo tower.

According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Burnaby saw a net loss of 889 rental units between 2010 and 2018.

Much of that loss has come from Metrotown, where

low-rise apartment buildings have been razed and replaced by gleaming steel and glass towers.

That promise will be put to the test as pressure mounts on the City of Burnaby to get building – potentially sacrificing rental housing in the process.

Our front page on Wednesday featured the plight of a group of renters in Metrotown whose buildings were sold during the summer as part of a land assembly.

The sale has left tenants

like Iryn Sarmiento wondering if the relatively affordable two-bedroom apartment she shares with her family will go the way of others just like it.

That’s why she voted for Hurley.

Sarmiento knows what Hurley has promised but still feels anxious about the future.

“I don’t know,” she told the NOW. “I’m still worried.”

Hurley said the moratorium on redevelopment in Metrotown will remain in

place until his housing task force comes forward with solutions. A final report is expected by June.

One possible solution could involve guaranteeing displaced tenants a place in any new development that replaces their old home and arranging temporary housing during construction to be provided by either the city or the developer, Hurley said.

And, he said, it will include implementing new rental zoning, which the City of Burnaby recently

became the first to add to its bylaws after the province granted such powers earlier this year.

Meanwhile, developers told the NOW about their frustration that their projects are on hold, meaning carrying costs continue to mount.

As time goes on, the pressure will also mount on Hurley and council.

It will be fascinating to see how the city can balance the needs of renters and developers.

Stay tuned.

Warming centres a good first step Karen O’Shannacery wanted to tell me just how happy she was about Burnaby’s new warming centres, but she couldn’t.

Laryngitis will do that to a person.

So the spokesperson for the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby smiled and whispered a little as we toured one of the warming centres that the City of Burnaby has cobbled together in the past two weeks to show that our city does actually have a heart when it comes to people who are homeless.

We were touring the centre that’s been set up at Swangard Stadium. Mayor Mike Hurley was there to answer questions as well.

“It’s warm, it’s safe,” O’Shannacery whispered.

“It’s basic, but it’s a start,” said Hurley.

Baby steps, right?

The city is finally taking decisive action by setting up the warming centres, with the next steps being a temporary shelter, then a permanent shelter, as well as more affordable housing.

The room at Swangard isn’t big, but it’s definitely clean and warm. A stack of mats were in one corner.

Tables and chairs were in the opposite corner. Next door were warm and clean washroom facilities.There were bottles of water and packaged soups on a table.

O’Shannacery said her society, which is part of the larger local homelessness task force, received some food donations recently when the warming centres were announced. For the first two nights, volunteers brought fresh food.

So far, there’s been five or six people who have used the Swangard centre during peak times – roughly 1 to 2 a.m.

Oh, and one dog, too.

Several have come by the other one set up at the Kensington Pitch and Putt Fieldhouse. A third warming centre opened Dec. 14 at the city operations centre on Beresford Street. A fourth centre is still being prepared.

Signage has been put up to let people know about the centres.That’s key, according to O’Shannacery, because it’s all about getting the word out to people living rough.The society has been spreading the word to as many people as possible through its networks.

One issue, however, is convincing some people who are homeless to use the centres. It might sound weird, O’Shannacery said, but some people who are homeless have had bad interactions with authorities, such as bylaw officers and police. So it will take a little time for trust to build.

The new warming centres leader will be a big part of that. Once they’ve been around for a while, more people are expected to use the service. O’Shannacery said once that happens, it’s the first step towards helping people access services that might lead to them getting off the streets.

As I said, baby steps.

I’m just happy that action is being taken. Because it’s damn cold and wet out there.

Bawdy house gets busted Well-dressed men and women coming and going at all hours of the day and night alerted neighbours something was up at a house in the well-heeled Government Avenue neighbourhood. A four-month RCMP investigation, which included plainclothes Mounties posing as customers, revealed the fashionable white rancher in the 7500 block of Government was being used as a common bawdy house. Police raided the brothel in October, seizing a number of exhibits and taking eight women into custody.

Pay better attention when you are at a crosswalk Editor: Re: A pedestrian bombed my car with a drink because I didn’t stop, NOW letters, Dec. 12 One must stop and take careful note of this particular letter to the editor. The antisocial behavior demonstrated by both the driver and the pedestrian must be taken into account.

To quote the author, “Everybody needs to get a grip.” I can assure him that I do indeed have a firm grip – on the handle bars of my electric bike.

I drive this bike, on an almost daily basis, from Burnaby North to the Metrotown area, in part to lose weight, in part as my contribution to climate change.

During my commute, I have noticed several things.

Both drivers and pedestrians do not pay enough attention at crosswalks. Nevertheless, pedestrians do have the right-of-way on any crosswalk, whether clearly visible or not. To quote an ICBC website, “Pedestrians have the right of way when in a crosswalk,” whether marked or not. However, this right of way is not absolute.

Throwing objects at any moving vehicle is inexcusable and likely a criminal offence. Additionally, blasting through a crosswalk, at a high speed, is likewise obnoxious.

However, one must ask the pertinent question: Unless the driver of this car was going in reverse at a high speed, how did the pedestrian manage to hit his windshield, with any object, unless his speed was not really that high, and simply an excuse.

MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT YVR.

If you are going to write a letter to the editor to defend your actions, and unilaterally condemn others, at least get your story straight enough to pass even a cursory examination of the facts as presented.

Access needed to daycare

Editor: This month we saw excellent news with the long-awaited announcement of the $10 per day daycare prototype sites launched across British Columbia.

Along with other new programs like the fee reduction initiative and affordability benefit, which each started earlier this year, most families in the province are now paying lower fees than they otherwise would have been.

Recently, we also welcomed early childhood educator wage enhancements and are continuing to push for further increases.

While these are all important steps in the move towards universal child care in B.C., families also desperately need access to more licensed child care spaces.

Currently, only 18 per cent of children in the province have access to a licensed child care space.

Waiting lists can be years long, leaving families no choice but to use unlicensed care.

Let’s see (civic politicians) be leaders in supporting the creation of early learning and care programs for our children and provide access to beautiful rich play spaces that reflect the planning and care we have put into our parks.

Video shows savage beating in elevator

Surveillance video shows woman being punched and kicked multiple times durng encounter in elevator Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP are looking for a man who was caught on surveillance video apparently sucker-punching and then repeatedly kicking and punching a woman in a Metrotown elevator Saturday.

The video, which was posted online but then taken down, shows a man and a woman standing inside an elevator talking, before the man suddenly starts punching and kicking the woman.

After the woman drops to the ground, the man continues to kick and punch her before grabbing something – possibly the victim’s cellphone – and running off.

The attack happened shortly before 2 a.m. in a condo tower in the area of Nelson Avenue and Imperial Street, according to police.

At first, the woman told police an unknown man had entered the elevator with her, assaulted her and fled with her cellphone, according to Burnaby RCMP, but investigators have since determined the man and woman were together before entering the elevator and had spent time at a suite in the building.

“The nature of this contact and what occurred prior to the male and female entering the elevator is still under investigation but may have been a factor in

the assault that is alleged to have taken place,” stated an emailed Burnaby RCMP statement.

The victim was taken to hospital with minor injuries and has since been released, according to police.

The suspect is described as a five-foot-10 Asian man with a slim build and black hair, wearing a black jacket, black pants and red-andblack shoes.

He was last seen heading north on Nelson Street.

Anyone who recognizes the man is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www. solvecrime.ca.

Teen causes havoc at Burnaby youth jail Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A B.C. Provincial Court judge has ruled a “fit and strong,” six-foot-one, 200-pound young offender causing havoc at the BurnabyYouth Custody Services Centre (BYCS) should serve the rest of his time in adult prison.

The 19-year-old, who can’t be named because he was convicted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is serving a pair of youth sentences until at least July 10, 2019, according to court documents.

Despite being over 18 years old, he would normally be allowed to serve that time at a youth centre, but his tenure at such facilities has been chock full of incidents of violence, intimidation and defiance, and B.C.’s director of youth justice applied to the court to have him serve the rest of his time in adult prison.

The youth, referred to as D.A.V. in a recent court ruling by Judge Marguerite

Shaw, has been involved in more than 90 incidents at different centres since 2016, including multiple assaults on other youth and staff.

He began 2018 by verbally abusing the nurse dispensing medications at the BurnabyYouth Custody Centre on Jan. 1, sparking a 30-minute standoff with eight staff members.

“He engaged in aggressive swearing, yelling and posturing with clenched fists, getting into staff’s personal space, intimidating them, and shouting that he runs the centre not the staff,” states Shaw’s ruling.

“He grabbed a piece of a Christmas tree and held it in a threatening manner.”

Later that month, another incident saw him assault a 16-year-old fellow inmate and hurt a number of staff members, earning himself an adult conviction and some time at adult jails before being transferred back to the Burnaby facility.

“D.A.V.’s risk level is seen to be so concerning that he is subject to two staff mem-

bers personally supervising him at all times, which is not the norm for the BYCS facility,” states the ruling.

Having completed his adult high school graduation requirements and a number of other certificates, D.A.V. had no longer been

attending school during the day.

“He spends most of his time on the living unit, playing board games, watching television, going to the fitness room and gym, and playing video games in the multipurpose room,” states

the ruling.

Shaw agreed with the director of youth justice that keeping D.A.V. at the Burnaby youth facility wasn’t in his best interest.

“Part of his rehabilitation needs to be focused on D.A.V. getting as many

skills and training as he can to become employable, as well as address his personal mental health challenges such as controlling his frustration and anger.The adult correctional facility has the resources available if D.A.V. chooses to access them,” she wrote. “D.A.V. is currently spending most of his day with no set goals or direction and he would have an opportunity to have a job at the adult facility.”

Shaw agreed it wasn’t in the public’s best interest either for D.A.V. to stay at the Burnaby youth facility.

“I find the interference, disruption and violent behaviour occasioned by D.A.V. significantly prejudices the opportunity and environment for the rehabilitation and safety of other youth,” Shaw wrote. “He has caused injury to other residents. He is a negative role model for other youth. … I find that D.A.V.’s aggression and anger can no longer be safely managed at a youth correctional centre.”

Communitynow Neighbourhood House needs help to keep its programs alive Burnaby Neighbourhood House is a launching a new holiday campaign to raise money to “keep our lights on.”

For almost 20 years, BNH has been quietly working in Burnaby, bringing people and communities together, creating a sense of belonging and providing a platform for volunteers and neighbours to meet and experience the diversity in their own backyards.

But it takes a lot of money to ensure those programs continue. BNH receives only 30 per cent of its financial support from government grants and it fundraises the rest through private donors and supporters.

Included in that fundraising is the need for monies for basics like rent and utilities – which is why BNH is calling it “keep our lights on.” During this drive, the campaign will introduce the people of BNH. “We were fighting loneliness long before it was cool,” says Antonia Beck, executive director of BNH.

Avoid Cavities and tooth decay with good oral and dental hygiene and regular visit with your dentist

Help the helpers: An image from the new Burnaby Neighbourhood House social media campaign.

Regular professional cleanings and dental examinations are the best ways to spot early signs of tooth decay.

“Today, both our houses have more than 750 volunteers and offer programs for all generations and all backgrounds. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter how much money you have – you are our neighbour.”

According to the recent research out of UBC and theVancouver Foundation, loneliness has detrimental effects on people moving to and living in B.C.: newcomers, seniors, young parents.

All groups need support and

a place to meet.

This is what BNH is here for.

“We are so appreciative of our supporters here in Burnaby, they totally understand why a sense of belonging and feeling connected to our neighbours is so important for each of us,” says Beck.

BNH operates in 10 locations – two Neighbourhood Houses, 10 elementary schools and one community hall. For details on how to donate, visit burnabynh.ca.

Scottish flavour: Enjoy haggis and music at the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band’s annual Robbie Burns Dinner, set for Jan. 26 at the Executive Plaza Hotel Metro Vancouver. Tickets are on sale now. PHOTO ISTOCK

Haggis and music on the menu for Robbie Burns gala If there’s a drop of Scottish blood in your veins, then save the date now for some must-attend events in the new year.

The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, based in Burnaby, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its youth band – the Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band – this coming January.

The celebration kicks off with the SFU Pipe Band’s annual Robbie Burns Dinner and silent auction, set for Jan. 26 at the Executive Plaza Hotel Metro Vancouver on North Road.

There will also be an exclusive concert performance in honour of the 25th anni-

versary year, on Saturday, April 12 at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver.

The Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band was founded in January 1994 to honour the loss of two young SFU Pipe Band players and instructors, Robert Barbulak, and Malcolm Bokenfohr, who were killed by an impaired driver in November 1993.

The band started with 35 players and has since taught more than 2,000 young players, aged eight through 18, and now has a membership of nearly 150 pipers and drummers every year. It has levels ranging from beginner up to Grade 2, with

the potential for players to join the coveted Grade 1 SFU Pipe Band itself.

The Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band competes and performs at local, provincial and international events, including the world championships in Scotland – where it has notched four wins in the juvenile category.

The 25th anniversary season will also mark a changing of the guard, as band manager Jack Lee is passing the tour to his son, Andrew Lee – a solo competitor, band instructor and pipe major.

Parents, it’s time to send Elf on the Shelf back where he belongs Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Christmas is just around the corner, and there’s a new boss in town. Donning a red suit, with rosy cheeks, and twinkling eyes, the mysteriously magical character keeps a watchful eye on excited children who are eager to make it onto the highly coveted “nice list.”

But the jolly fellow doesn’t wear a long white beard. He doesn’t bellow “Ho ho ho” with a round belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly, and he doesn’t drive a reindeer-guided sleigh around the world in one night, delivering gifts to every deserving boy and girl.

No, the new guy in charge is a skinny little nymph with many nicknames, known to us best as the Elf on the Shelf – Santa’s right-hand guy.

In many homes, the elf

appears spontaneously during the first week of December, and sticks around to spy on our kids, day in and day out, until Christmas Eve when he hitches a ride back to the North Pole on Santa’s sleigh.

In the evenings, he floats around the house, searching for a new hiding spot, and in the mornings, children bounce out of bed to search for their magical little friend.

My kids are drawn to his charm, sucked in by the daily game of hide-and-seek, and allured by the access to their own personal messenger who delivers their wishes directly to the CEO of Christmas.They anticipate the arrival of their elf each year, and mourn him when he returns back home once the holidays come to a close.

Some parents (like myself) get wrapped up in the logistical frustrations that surround hosting an unwanted house guest for such a lengthy period of time.

They despise the daily shenanigans, and question the validity of the elf’s true intentions.

The Elf on the Shelf has become an unwelcome holiday house guest. He appears unannounced, never talks – instead sitting and staring rudely as we go about our day. He doesn’t clean

Let’s put the elves in their place and show Christmas who’s boss

up after himself, and worst of all, he gets all of the credit when holiday treats make an appearance during the lead up to the big day.

I long for the good old days, when the jolly old man in red snuck into our homes, left gifts under the

tree, and went on his merry way – careful not to wake our sleeping children.

Now, one night of magic has evolved into a monthlong to-do list. Parents are either losing sleep over keeping up with the antics, or stressing out over explaining why their children haven’t received a visit from a special elf of their own.

The elves on the shelves are trying to squeeze the CEO of Christmas out of his top spot and claim the throne.

When Christmas morning arrives, kids are mourning the departure of their elves and the magic of Santa takes a back seat.

Let’s put the elves in their place and show Christmas who’s boss. It’s time to shelf the elf, reclaim our homes, and bring back Santa Claus.

Burnaby’s only Toys“R”Us store helped collect thousands of toys for kids across the country recently.

The local store, located at Metropolis at Metrotown, was one of many across Canada that took part in the Salvation Army’s annual toy drive. In all, more than 700,000 toys were collected for kids across the country, according to a press release.

The Burnaby store donated an estimate 8,100 toys to the local toy drive.

The Salvation Army will take all the donated toys and deliver them to kids and families in need just in time for Christmas.

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GIVE BACK A group of young professionals and entrepreneurs are hoping to make the holidays a little brighter for families in need last week.

HaninYoung Professionals and Entrepreneurs, also known as HYPE, is a nonprofit organization made up of young Korean Canadian professionals from Burnaby and surrounding cities.The group aims to bring young Korean Canadians together to network and get involved in the community, according to a press release.

This month HYPE partnered with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank as part of its 2018 SupportYour Local Community initiative.

They set out to raise $500 and collect 500 pounds of non-perishable food items for the food bank, and they’re on track to hit that goal, according to Mark Seong, HYPE chair.

The plan is to drop off the donations at the food bank later this week.

Beers big part of Warriors’ rebirth

The Burnaby Laker scores overtime winner in team’s first game since rebranding Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Nerves, white knuckles and flop sweat.

None of the above were evident when Dan Richardson and fellow Vancouver Warriors staff awaited the start of the 2018/19 National Lacrosse League season last Saturday.

Well, “nerves” as in a normal way? Check.

But after Warriors’ captain Matt Beers buried the winning goal in a 14-13 overtime win over the Calgary Roughnecks at the Scotiabank Saddledome, there were smiles aplenty from Richardson and his staff.

“That is what you call a classic character win by our team,” said Richardson, the Warriors’ general manager. “Everyone pegged us as 11th in an 11-team race. I wouldn’t expect anything else after a 2-16 season, but that’s certainly something that plays in our favour.”

You couldn’t have imagined a better result for the club now owned by the Canucks Sports and Entertainment group.

It also sets the table perfectly for Friday’s rematch and the Warriors’ official home unveiling, when they play the Roughnecks, 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena.

Vancouver, which is the rebranded Stealth, relocated from Langley to play at Rogers Arena, didn’t play like a bottom-feeder last week.

Although they found themselves in a 9-6 hole at halftime and staring down a five-goal deficit early in the fourth quarter, they dug themselves out with a big rally. Leading the way were New West Salmonbellie Logan Schuss, with two, and Beers, who during the summer toils for the Burnaby Lakers.

They faced plenty of adversity – eight straight minor penalties were tossed at Vancouver, resulting in four Calgary goals.

But even with the Roughnecks’ crowd ramping it up, the visitors found a way, corralled the momentum with a goal off the stick of Coquitlam native Keegan Bal with 2:35 gone in the fourth quarter.

By the time Beers pumped a shot past Calgary goalie Christian Del Bianco, a new storyline for an often hamstrung franchise had been written.

It was very clear that the Warriors’ map for success was going to rely on its Western Lacrosse Association roots, enhanced by the newly implemented management and coaching staff.

Richardson, who added the Vancouver job last summer to his general manager/president duties with the ’Bellies, said the victory was just one step in re-

casting the local pro product as a full entertainment package.

Winning, or efforts that invoke a winning image, is part of that reboot. Adding important pieces to a solid but not substantial nucleus meant both patience and stealth – to harken to their old moniker – were necessary.

Richardson used both in acquiring New West lefthander Mitch Jones, a six-foot-two offensive forward, plus draft picks, for 2017 league MVP Corey Small.

Jones, four years younger than Small, also has great chemistry with Schuss, due to being teammates on the Western Lacrosse League’s Salmonbellies.

Richardson also signed exLaker Tyler Codron, who returns to the pro game after a three-year absence, Ontario native Dan Lomas, and Bal, as part of a free-agent fishing expedition. He added netminder Aaron Bold, who backstopped Saskatchewan to a pair of NLL championships.

Among the holdovers from the Stealth lineup are Schuss and Burnaby’s Justin Salt, and netminder Eric Penney.

Defensive specialists, the savory combination of Beers and

Salt are among the longest serving members with the organization, having been with the program nine and eight years, respectively, when it began as the Washington Stealth, based in Everett.

The total sum is a roster of

mostly WLA players who can dash and bash with flash.

“These guys are real, solid lacrosse players, and we’ve built around the model of hard work, respect and quickness,” he said.

Under head coach Chris Gill – who grew up in Coquitlam and is a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame – the squad, with a strike-shortened training camp and no exhibition games for test runs, proved primed and ready for the season opener.

This week’s rematch offers a

chance to spotlight the Warriors’ new image before the home crowd.

Richardson isn’t expecting that one to be easy, either.

“We weathered a storm and after all the (penalties subsided) we knew what we had to do,” said Richardson. “This group believes in itself, and most importantly they believe in what (coach Gill) has laid out, the whole process.”

He noted the package the Canucks Sports and Entertainment group has implemented since taking control of the team has been all about making the game a fun-filled event.

Music, entertainment and $5 beers are part of that package.

Ticket sales for the first game have been building ever since the league and players solved their labour dispute, said Richardson.

Although Calgary was missing standout Curtis Dickson, the Warriors will enter Friday’s rematch with a bolt of confidence.

That’s something money can’t buy, said Richardson.

“We don’t expect it to be easy, and I expect (Dickson) to be in the lineup.We won’t win every game, but we’re going to make it entertaining, that’s for sure.”

Looking at the scores, a distant observer would assume that the lane was clear and unobstructed for the Daniel Wenzek rink at the Lower Mainland men’s playdowns last week.

The curling foursome carved out a handy win in their draws to claim the first berth to next month’s provincials, beating Richmond’s Cody Tanaka team 6-2 in the A final.

But Wenzek, a Burnaby native and Douglas College grad, said while the route to the B.C.s may not have had many close battles, it was a good test.

“We played very well,” the 24-year-old said. “We always felt in control but you have to keep your foot to the pedal, and for the most part did that.”

Prior to the final, they bested the McArdle rink 10-5 and the Schneider rink 8-1.

The Wenzek rink, which calls the Royal City, Langley and Kamloops curling clubs home, continues to hone its game in preparation for a possible Canadian Brier berth in March.

That season-starting carrot remains in play, thanks to their strong showing last week. But, first things first: the foursome will enter next month’s provincials, slated for Quesnel Jan. 29 to Feb. 3, with some valuable momentum. “(Getting to provincials) was a big goal for us,” remarked the skip. “But nothing comes easy.You have to take it step by step.”

The team includes third Jared Kolomaya, second Jordan Tardi, and lead Nicholas Meister, under the tutelage of coach Ken Brown.

That they come from different rinks – Wenzek is based at the Royal City club, Tardi and Meister from Langley, and Kolomaya and Brown hail from Kamloops – isn’t that uncommon an arrangement on today’s curling circuit. It does make full practices a rare opportunity not to waste, he noted.

“We get to practice as a team about once a month,” said Wenzek. “Us three from the Lower Mainland practice at least once a week, and other than that we get out at least a couple more times on our own.”

All are in their 20s and with some heady accomplishments at the junior level – Tardi and Meister won the 2017 Canadian junior champions,Wenzek was part of a 2014 junior national silver medal team, while Kolomaya, at 28 the eldest member, participated in the men’s preOlympic qualifying tournament in 2017.

Tardi was also a member of the 2018 World junior men’s champions, with his brother Tyler’s team.

Rizzo on the move again

From one opportunity to the next, Burnaby’s Massimo Rizzo is making the most of a great season.

The Penticton Vees captain last week helped Canada West grab the bronze medal at the World Junior A Challenge in Bonnyville, Alta.

Canada West beat the Czech Republic 3-1 to claim third place at the international tournament.

The 18-year-old Rizzo, who was listed recently as a B-level prospect for the 2019 NHL draft and is committed to play for the University of North Dakota next fall, finished with two goals over six games.

Earlier this week, Rizzo was named to the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s Prospects Game, which is to be played Jan. 22 in Okotoks, Alta.

BURNABY D-MEN PICKED Burnaby native Patrick Weircoch and Burnaby Winter Club product Dante Fabbro are among 25 players selected to represent Canada at the Spengler Cup, which runs Dec. 26 to 31 in Davos, Switzerland.

Weircoch, 28, spent all of last season with Vancouver’s American Hockey League

farm team in Utica and is currently playing for Minsk of the Kontinental Hockey League.

Fabbro, meanwhile, is a third-year defenceman at Boston University. He was selected 17th overall in the 2016 NHL draft by Nashville.

Canada is looking to repeat as tourney champions.

Wenzek rink ready for next test

Continued from page 22 An earlier 2018 highlight was a comefrom-behind win over U.S. Olympian John Shuster, scoring four in the final end, at the Canad Inns Classic in Portage la Prairie.

“It was a good experience, something that was a confidence builder for us,” he said.

A Burnaby North alumnus,Wenzek believes the chemistry and camaraderie between the four puts them in a good space heading to the provincials, which run Jan. 29 to Feb. 3.

“The season’s been real good, we’ve had

a lot of successes and some disappointments but we’re coming together,” said Wenzek.

On the B.C. Men’s Curling Tour, his team finished fifth, trailing the Tyler Tardi’s rink 37.6 to 36.2.The younger Tardi’s team includes Burnaby’s Sterling Middleton.

In the ever-changing game of curling, members of both squads were once a formidable lineup on the junior men’s circuit.

Wenzek, Meister, Middleton and the two Tardis were 2016 junior B.C. champions and finished third at the nationals.

With its dedicated team of certified technicians, Certified Service Express Lane can quickly and efficiently perform routine service on your vehicle.

FROM OUR TEAM

To our valued readers

W

e’re excited to announce some important changes at the Burnaby NOW as we continue to adapt and evolve in an ever-changing media landscape. It’s a really fantastic time for the media industry. This digital age we live in offers incredible opportunities for our newspaper. As valued NOW readers, you are consuming your news and advertising in more ways than ever, and we’re always looking for ways to serve everyone who is interested in the kind of hyper-local news that the NOW provides.

Since 1983, we’ve provided a level of local news, lifestyle, sports and community stories that nobody else can match. We’ve stayed nimble over the years – adapting and changing to ensure we stay relevant to readers on multiple platforms.

LARA GRAHAM PUBLISHER lgraham@burnabynow.com

We know it’s important to put the right resources in the right places at the right time. To that end, the NOW will move to one edition a week, allowing us to put even more resources into our digital platforms.

The NOW will move to one edition a week, allowing us to put even more resources into our digital platforms.

Starting on December 27, 2018, every Thursday the NOW, with all of the usual flyers, will arrive on your doorstep. And every day, our talented editorial staff will put even more resources into posting the best news, sports and events on our digital platforms for 24/7 coverage at Burnabynow.com.

The second big change has already been implemented – we’ve increased our editorial resources in multiple areas. We now have reporters writing on weekends so we have people covering the news that matters to readers seven days a week.

In addition to this, we’ve also added some excellent new columnists, such as Bianca Bujan and renowned pollster Mario Canseco – who drills down into the data to produce excellent articles on what people think about the important issues. We’ve also added real estate reporter Joannah Connolly to cover the community’s number one topic – housing affordability. On top of all of this, we’ve hired two regional investigative reporters working on long-term news projects on issues that matter to readers.

CHRIS CAMPBELL EDITOR ccampbell@burnabynow.com

If anything screams success, it’s boosting the amount of content a newspaper produces, both in print and online.

The result of all of these changes will mean readers receive a bigger newspaper on their doorsteps every Thursday – loaded with all the local news, ads and flyers that they have come to expect from the NOW. We know many readers prefer to get their community information this way, and there’s still very much a place for a printed product in today’s world.

Businesses must evolve in order to thrive, and that’s what we’re doing here We’re excited by this new chapter in the NOW’s history and look forward to serving our readers and clients for many more years to come.

Sincerely,

LARA GRAHAM PUBLISHER
