Council backs free transit for youth

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council has unanimously endorsed a proposal to make transit free for everyone under the age of 19. The city’s mayor and eight councillors voted to back the All On Board campaign, which also calls for monthly passes to be sold on an income-based sliding scale and community service to be an option for

fare evaders instead of hefty fines. Burnaby joined councils from Vancouver, New Westminster and Port Moody that have already endorsed the campaign. Council passed the motion on Feb. 25 after hearing from a three-person All On Board delegation. “There are no words to adequately describe what it is like to live in poverty and see a transit system everywhere you go and know that

you cannot afford it,” said Heather McCain, executive director of Citizens for Accessible Neighbourhoods. Many low-income individuals in Metro Vancouver are forced to choose between buying a monthly transit pass or buying groceries, McCain said. “There is a mental and emotional toll to be continually juggling money, and it negatively impacts people’s morale and health,” she said.

McCain said these choices put an immense weight on people living in poverty, but politicians “can choose to alleviate this weight.” While the proposed fare changes would cost TransLink and its funding government bodies money, McCain said the current regime is already costing the province in related costs. She gave some examples: an individual suffering from mental illness can’t get to counselling appointments

and is later institutionalized as their mental state deteriorates; people can’t get to potential employment and stay on social assistance; government-funded nonprofit agencies cover the cost of passes and fare evasion tickets for low-income clients. Fellow delegation member Viveca Ellis told council that free transit for children and youth would build “a generation of transit riders, which is what we need for

the environment.” Council voted unanimously to endorse the proposal in principle in a letter to TransLink. It also voted to ask city staff to study how it could be funded and implemented. Coun. Joe Keithley said the vote was “a total nobrainer.” “This is kind of an advocacy move, and the economics can be worked out as we go along,” he said.

Hit-and-run driver injures two officers Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A call about a possible drunk driver in Burnaby ended disastrously for two officers with the police dog service Monday. Burnaby RCMP got the call just before 11:30 a.m. about a white, later-model Toyota Camry with dark tinted windows, according to Cpl. Mike Kalanj. An officer located the vehicle near Byrne Road and Marine Drive but couldn’t see if anyone was inside because the windows were darkly tinted, Kalanj said. When the officer got out to take a look, however, the vehicle sped off on Byrne Road into oncoming traffic, according to Kalanj. He said the officer didn’t give chase because the car took off on the wrong side of the road. About two kilometres away, at 4300 North Fraser Way, Roberto Farinha was looking out his office window at a group of officers with the dog unit standing outside one of their vehicles parked facing west on the north side of North FraserWay. A westbound semi, see-

HIT-AND-RUN: A vehicle that transports police dogs was damaged after a driver crashed into it on Monday. PHOTO SHANE MACKICHAN ing the officers on the road, slowed down, Farinha said, but another westbound vehicle blew past it on the right and plowed through them. “They just accelerated through and had no regard

for them. No stopping, no nothing,” Farinha told the NOW. “Everybody was in shock. Nobody could believe what happened.” An officer who had been standing closer to the front of the vehicle was able to

jump out of the way, according to Farinha, but the others were launched into the air – one as high as 15 feet. “We didn’t think he was going to live,” Farinha said. Kalanj confirmed two male officers, one an RCMP

member and the other an Abbotsford police officer, were injured. Burnaby RCMP said Tuesday the Abbotsford officer has been released from hospital with minor injuries, while the Mountie remains

in hospital in stable condition with serious injuries. The Abbotsford officer has been identified as Cpl. Aaron Courtney, a 15-year officer and 10-year member of the dog service, according to Abbotsford police. No police dogs were injured in the incident, police said. The driver was still at large at the time of the NOW’s press deadline. Kalanj said it appears the driver of the suspect vehicle drove between the semi and the police dog vehicle to escape from police. The white Camry was reported stolen from New Westminster, Kalanj said. A tip from the public helped police locate the abandoned car about an hour after the crash in an industrial area by Keith Street and Ivy Avenue. RCMP are now urging members of the public who were in the area between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to look over their dashcam footage for any images of the suspect vehicle that might help identify the driver. Anyone with information is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9511.

COURT

Man found guilty, woman acquitted in case of fatal punch

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man who suckerpunched 22-year-old Michael Page-Vincelli in a North Burnaby Starbucks two-and-a-half years ago has been found guilty of manslaughter in his death, but a woman accused of encouraging the punch has been acquitted. Lawrence Sharpe, 40, and his girlfriend, Oldouz Pournouruz, 35, were both charged with manslaughter after the punch, which knocked Page-Vincelli back, causing his head to hit the floor and possibly a counter, fracturing his skull and rendering him brain dead. A B.C. Supreme Court jury delivered the verdict on Saturday after about 16 hours of deliberation. The jury heard from witnesses who said they had seen Pournouruz and PageVincelli arguing over a thrown cigarette in front of the Kensington Square Royal Bank.

Pournouruz testified Page-Vincelli had thrown a lit cigarette at her after she refused to return his gaze while she sat in her car waiting for her boyfriend, who was in the bank. An argument ensued during which both yelled and swore at each other, according to witnesses. After the dispute, PageVincelli went toward the Starbucks next door and Pournouruz went to talk to her boyfriend inside the bank, witnesses said. Security video from inside the bank and from the Starbucks shows the couple leaving the bank and walking briskly towards Starbucks. Sharpe testified he had not intended to punch Page-Vincelli, only to find out who had thrown the cigarette and maybe get an apology. He said he had hit PageVincelli in self-defence when the 22-year-old came towards him raising his right hand in a fist.

The Starbucks security video, however, shows Sharpe stride up to PageVincelli and punch him in the face without warning while Page-Vincelli is eating a bag of chips. Sharpe also told an undercover officer planted in the Burnaby RCMP cells with him that Page-Vincelli had bullied his girlfriend and Sharpe had “f***ing

clocked him for it.” Pournouruz was accused of being a party to the manslaughter. In her final instructions to the jury, Justice Mary Humphries described “party law” as “one of the most difficult areas in the criminal law.” She said it was up to the prosecution to prove all the components of the offence

beyond a reasonable doubt, including that Pournouruz had intended Sharpe to assault Page-Vincelli or that the couple together had intended to threaten him with assault before the punch happened. Although Pournouruz had told Page-Vincelli that he had better leave her alone or her boyfriend would come out and beat

him up, her lawyer, Pamela Smith-Gander, argued she had only said that as a last resort to get Page-Vincelli away from her because she had been terrified by her encounter with him. She had gone into the bank, not to plan a threat or assault with her boyfriend but for “solidarity and refuge” after a terrifying ordeal, Smith-Gander told the jury. She had led her boyfriend to the Starbucks and pointed out Page-Vincelli only because Sharpe had asked who had thrown the cigarette. Steffany Page, Page-Vincelli’s mother, said the family is disappointed with the jury’s not-guilty verdict for Pournouruz. Page acknowledged, however, that the jury had done its job. “They can’t go by how they feel; they gotta go by what the law says,” she said. Sharpe is due back in court for a pre-sentence hearing on May 1.

City now FRAUD

Victims recoup money from Burnaby Ponzi scheme The British Columbia Securities Commission says it has received $4.8 million in administrative penalties from two former residents of Burnaby who defrauded hundreds of investors in a Ponzi scheme. The payment to the BCSC comes after a courtappointed receiver distributed about $6.5 million to 464 people who lost money by investing in Bossteam

E-Commerce Inc. Every investor with a validated claim was reimbursed for their total losses, plus five-per-cent interest. The administrative penalty payments came from funds that remained after investors were reimbursed. The BCSC received a $3.1 million payment from the receiver this week, following a $1.7 million payment in July.

The funds mostly came from two bank accounts controlled by Bossteam cofoundersYan Zhu (a.k.a. Rachel Zhu) and Guan Qiang Zhang.The BCSC froze the accounts during its investigation. Bossteam described itself as an online advertising business, revolving around a website where advertisers could post links to their own webpages.The BCSC panel

found that Zhu, Zhang and Bossteam created the false impression that members and well-known businesses were paying to advertise on its website. A BCSC panel found in 2015 that Zhu and Zhang committed fraud, illegally distributed securities, withheld information from BCSC investigators, and instructed employees and investors to do the same. After imposing an admin-

istrative penalty of $14 million, the assets from the frozen accounts – along with $123,000 from the sale of land owned by Zhu – were transferred to the receiver for distribution. The BCSC has not been able to identify any other assets belonging to Zhu and Zhang. Zhu, who was living in Burnaby as of 2017, and Zhang, who was deported to China in 2012, are permanently banned from vari-

Mayor asks for right to sue Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley has written to B.C. Premier John Horgan asking the province to create legislation allowing municipal governments to launch and join class action lawsuits against fossil fuel companies for climate-related harms. The letter says the city is seeking legislation similar to Bill 21 that was introduced in the Ontario legislature. “The City of Burnaby

has undertaken a series of measures to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change and its impact in areas within our control,” reads the letter. “Burnaby council has also taken a strong position against the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline because of its impact on global carbon emissions and climate change. However, the actions that are within our purview are only part of the

solution.” The letter says that litigation is fair because fossil fuel companies “contribute to climate change, profit from the sale of their products and do not pay for the damages caused by burning oil, gas and coal.” The letter was prompted by a delegation of environmental groups such as the Burnaby-based BROKE, which opposes the Trans Mountain pipeline project.

ous activities in the capital markets, including trading in securities (with limited exceptions), purchasing securities or exchange contracts, being a registrant or promoter, or engaging in investor relations. The receiver, accounting and advisory firm Grant Thornton Limited, made the determination about investor claims and then distributed remaining funds to creditors.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Scandal just business as usual for power brokers

So long, sunny ways. Former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould’s testimony last week, in which she alleged unrelenting pressure was put on her by Liberal colleagues to call off a prosecution and cut a deal with construction giant SNC-Lavalin, has ushered in serious storm clouds for the party. Wilson-Raybould’s powerful words pulled back the veil on backroom political manoeuvres that most of the country isn’t privy to and strongly suggested there is one set of rules for

the powerful and connected and another set for the rest of us. Nevermind “legalities,” Wilson-Raybould said she was told. The main concern for Liberal fixers was finding a solution to a political problem – how to save jobs at SNC-Lavalin and limit political damage in Quebec. As in other recent political scandals, when someone with integrity on the “inside” is prepared to speak, it’s suddenly apparent just how normal and accepted such political practices are.

The main concern for Liberal ﬁxers was ﬁnding a solution to a political problem – how to save jobs. Trudeau – whose version of events directly contradicts that of Wilson-Raybould – does not come out of this looking clean. Things got worse on Monday when Jane Philpott, one of Trudeau’s most trusted ministers, resigned from cabinet over the government’s handling of the

SNC-Lavalin affair. “I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities and constitutional obligations,” she said. Philpott, the MP for Markham-Stouffville, said she has been thinking about the chain of events that have rocked the federal government in recent weeks and,

after “serious reflection,” came to the conclusion that she must quit. Cabinet solidarity, she said, requires that ministers defend all cabinet decisions and other ministers publicly, and speak in support of the government and its policies – something she now isn’t able to do. Let’s not forget it was dirty politics involving the revelation of corruption between the federal Liberal party and Quebec businesses that toppled the last Liberal reign. Granted, the scandal is

not a “pocketbook” issue that tends to resonate with voters. But besides Trudeau’s personal brand of bright optimism – now cast into serious doubt – one of the key messages of the Liberals to average voters has been that they are a better option than the Conservatives because they will “do government” differently. So far it looks a lot like business as usual in the corridors of power.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Burnaby kids left me speechless “We need you in the principal’s office.” The words made me shudder, even though I hadn’t actually done anything wrong (for once). No, I was being summoned to the principal’s office at Lakeview Elementary in Burnaby to receive instructions about being a judge. I was invited to be one of three judges for the zone finals of the Burnaby School District’s public speaking challenge. My zone was CentralWest, with two students each from 10 different schools competing. They sat us down at tables in the Lakeview gym. In front of us were nervouslooking parents waiting for their kids to come out and give a short speech. Now, there is some irony at play here when you consider me being chosen to judge anyone on public speaking. I love public speaking, but in no way does that mean that I am any good at it. Far from it. So, here I was on Thursday put in the position of judging others – in this case, kids who were 12 years old. I mentioned earlier that the parents seemed nervous. The kids, however, seemed pretty calm about the whole thing. Public speaking tends to terrify some people, but you wouldn’t know it from looking at the students. One by one they came in and stood in front of a podium and discussed their chosen topic. A lot of the speeches were about the power of youth

and how young people are constantly underestimated. We heard the phrase “We are young, but we are…” a lot in the speeches as the youth built their case for why young people deserve to be consulted more about important issues. The days of “children should be seen and not heard” will hopefully one day be killed by fire, because youth have some fantastic ideas. Other speech topics included anxiety disorders, the tech industry, bullying and the fentanyl crisis. All were backed up with solid facts. These kids were so poised and focused – so forceful in making their points.They weren’t simply reading off of the cue cards – they were having a conversation with the audience. Some shared really personal stories about how their topic had affected them. One student talked about breaking his ankle playing sports and how devastating that was to his life – and how others rallied to support him. The hardest part of the afternoon was when we as judges had to pick two out of the 20 students to go on to the school district finals. It was a tough call.Tougher than I thought it would be. In the end, we chose Annika Segovia and Aiden Tailor. I wish them the best of luck competing against the six students chosen from the other three zone finals.

Opinionnow When will men accept ‘no’ from a woman?

Editor: I wonder when boys in high places will ever accept that when a woman says “no,” she means it. Listening to MP Jody Wilson-Raybould last week and reading the text, I was struck by the fact that the director of public prosecutions (DPP), Kathleen Roussel (a woman, on Sept. 4th, 2018, sent a memorandum to Wilson-Raybould stating the DPP was “of the view that an invitation to negotiate (a remediation agreement to SNC-Lavalin) will not be made.” Wilson-Raybould then did her due diligence as Attorney General of Canada. On Sept. 17, WilsonRaybould explained to the prime minister, and the clerk of the Privy Council, the law and what the AG was allowed/not allowed to do under the director of Public Prosecutions Act. She also announced that she “was not going to interfere with the decision of the DPP.” Isn’t that a solid no? And yet, for four months the PMO and others continually harassed her that “things have changed,” have a rethink, talk to the DPP. There are two issues here: the non-acceptance by men in power to take “no” from women. And the rule of law that can be manipulated by men in power to favour corporations as opposed to the common citizen. The first in any other scenario (sexual assault to name one) is not acceptable – finally. The second has been playing out here in Burnaby the last year with the arrests of over 200 citizens regarding the Trans Mountain pipeline

and the subsequent conviction of 190-plus because of the rule of law. No matter the defence arguments such as recognizing Indigenous rights, the urgency of climate change, or even selfdefence (as was my case for which I spent eight days in jail), we had transgressed the rule of law by breaching an injunction from a company that came into it with its own transgressions. I find it appalling that such things continue to happen and that the rule of law has become a catchphrase when it is convenient and disbanded when needed in favour of the powerful elite.

Climate change a mental health issue

Editor: I see climate change as the greatest mental health issue of this century. All people depend on health-care services based in economies that depend on a healthy ecosphere. It is not possible to talk meaningfully about excellence in health care in a degraded world. We talk about artworks in the Louvre or the Vatican as priceless. We understand the sacred connection to our loved ones. We fundamentally understand the importance of our own connectedness to the people and things we depend upon. How much more priceless is our natural world that we are born into? How much more sacred than our relationship to that world that brought us into life? Our response to climate change is the most profound and sacred opportunity we have, to build the sort of world we would have our children inherit. Rod MacDonald, Burnaby

City now COURT

Judge upholds injunction for Trans Mountain sites The B.C. Supreme Court has ruled in favour of upholding an injunction granted in 2018 against blocking access to Trans Mountain pipeline sites in Burnaby, including the Burnaby Mountain tank farm and the Westridge Marine Terminal. But the decision isn’t sitting well with environmentalists. “The injunction was intended to dissuade land defenders and water protectors from blocking access to the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project’s construction sites, located on unceded territories,” according to a news release from the anti-pipeline group Protect the Inlet. Approximately 230 people have been arrested for allegedly violating the injunction since March, many of whom have been convicted of criminal contempt of court. Sentences have ranged from fines to jail time.

The ruling was responding to an application filed by lawyer Casey Leggett on behalf of anti-pipeline activists to have the injunction set aside. Leggett argued that since the expansion of Trans Mountain’s oil pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby has been halted following a Federal Court of Appeal ruling, the injunction is now “moot.” Leggett told Judge Kenneth Affleck in B.C. Supreme Court in November 2013 that the injunction should be overturned because there is no longer a “live controversy” around the project,Trans Mountain can’t demonstrate irreparable harm would be caused without the order and the injunction is “impermissibly indefinite.” Maureen Killoran, counsel for Trans Mountain ULC, argued the injunction issued by Affleck on March 15, 2018, provided local police with an essential tool in

dealing with repeated blockades and interference with the company’s lawful activities at its tank farm and Westridge. She said the injunction is needed to protect the pipeline’s existing operations, as well as “stand-down” work necessary since construction on the expansion stopped following the federal court quashing the federal government’s approval of the project. “This work needs to be completed as quick as possible,” Killoran said. Protect the Inlet says injunctions are used to oppress Indigenous peoples. “The use of injunctions have been criticized as a form of strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP),” said a news release from Protect the Inlet. “Injunctions have been used throughout British Columbia to remove Indigenous peoples from their sovereign territories.”

MP called out on SNC-Lavalin affair Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby North–Seymour NDP candidate Svend Robinson is calling on the Liberal MP he hopes to unseat to “take a stand” in the SNC-Lavalin scandal that has rocked federal politics. Robinson took issue with a tweet from Terry Beech that called for unity among Liberals after Jane Philpott resigned from cabinet in solidarity with Jody WilsonRaybould, the former justice minister and attorney general who resigned from her ministerial role in February. Philpott,Wilson-Raybould and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “are the leaders Canada needs to fight climate change, move forward on indigenous reconciliation, and ensure every Canadian has a fair and real chance at success,” Beech tweeted on Monday. “It is my sincere hope differences can be resolved. #betterisalwayspossible” Robinson said it’s impos-

sible to support both Wilson-Raybould and Philpott at the same time as supporting Trudeau, and Beech needs to pick a side. “Where does he stand? You can’t be both supporting Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould on the one hand, and supporting Justin Trudeau on the other,” he said. “That’s completely not reconcilable.” Robinson said both for-

mer ministers have clearly lost confidence in Trudeau. In her resignation letter, Philpott said she “lost confidence in how the government has dealt with” the criminal charges against engineering giant SNC-Lavalin and the alleged pressure from the Prime Minister’s Office on the former attorney general to secure a deferred prosecution agreement.Wilson-Raybould did not answer whether she

had confidence in Trudeau when asked during her testimony to the Parliamentary justice committee. “(Beech is) saying ‘let’s all love one another’ and that’s a complete abdication of responsibility,” Robinson said. “This is the moment of truth for Terry Beech and for every Liberal member of Parliament in that caucus. Are they going to stand up for integrity and the independence and the rule of law in Canada, or are they going to accept this kind of bullying and pressure that both Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould have obviously said is not acceptable?” Beech did not respond to repeated interview requests. His tweet is the only public statement he has made on the SNC-Lavalin affair. Robinson is attempting a comeback to federal politics after a 15 year absence. He previously served in Parliament for 25 years.The federal election is scheduled for Oct. 21.

Activists, developers begin ‘tango dance’

Mayor’s task force brings together diverse voices to hash out ideas on how to ease the affordability crisis Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Renters, developers, politicians and activists clasped hands and took the first steps in a “tango dance” they hope will find answers to Burnaby’s housing woes. The Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing met for the first time on Feb. 27. It brought together a diverse set of people, each with a stake in the city’s future housing policies. The task force has a sixmonth mandate to report back to Burnaby city council with recommendations for its future housing strategy. It will also prepare an interim report after three months identifying shortterm actions. The broad goal will be to return Burnaby’s housing market to a state of balance it has lost in recent decades. The city’s assistant director of long range planning, Lee-Ann Garnett, told the task force of a time when such a balance once existed in the 1960s. She told the story of a young couple who moved to Burnaby from Vancouver in that decade. Albert, a BC Sugar worker, and Clara, an office cleaner, bought a new bungalow on Sumas Street, she said. “Imagine that,” she said. “A working-class family can afford to buy a new home, and it was a place where they could raise their children in a great neighbourhood.” At the time, federal lending programs helped people like Albert and Clara to buy a home, Garnett said. She said other federal

programs incentivized the construction of new rental apartment buildings, which provided housing for many immigrants, students and new arrivals to the Lower Mainland from elsewhere in Canada. Burnaby was also a pioneer in creating social and non-market housing for seniors, disabled people and single parents, Garnett said. “All of these things together really were this kind of balance of affordable housing for working folks,” she said. But in the 1990s, she said, the federal government began to withdraw from its role in the housing market, and Burnaby has since lost some of that balance. The city has also recently urbanized and developed a lot of new condos near its town centres and SkyTrain stations, “but people were asking us a lot of questions about that,” Garnett said. “Why were we losing homes in the process? Is this housing affordable for people? Are people renting in the neighbourhood able to live near transit in these new places?” Hundreds of rental units have been demolished in recent years to make way for new condo towers in Metrotown. Anger over these demovictions helped to sweep the city’s new mayor, Mike Hurley, into office last fall. He has since implemented a moratorium on rezoning approvals in the area and created the task force to come up with a new development plan – two of his key campaign promises. The task force puts people with seemingly vast dif-

with everyone involved learning to give and take. “We want to take the best that every person has to offer in conversation – the expertise, the lived experience, the values, the leadership – and we want to put those together in a way that creates something that will be more than the sum of its parts,” he said. When Prest asked the parents in the room whether they knew what it was like to be a parent before

their first child was born, no one raised their hand. “To me, that really speaks to the limits of empathy and the danger in thinking that our empathy and good intentions are sufficient to understand the context,” he said.

Walkers raise money for two local charities The night was actually cold, especially for Burnaby. But it didn’t matter because the party and the spirit kept people warm. On Feb. 23, more than 285 walkers attended Burnaby’s Coldest Night of the Year Walk, raising $62,000 for two local charities, the Society To End Homelessness in Burnaby and Burnaby Community Services. This was Burnaby’s third Coldest Night of theYear Walk For Homelessness and the biggest one yet. Coldest Night of theYear is a fun, family-friendly national walk-a-thon and fundraiser that raises money for the hungry, homeless and hurting across Canada in 136 different communities. The funds raised will be used to: ! Support Burnaby’s only outreach resource centre, which serves more than 1,000 unique individuals each year. ! Support advocacy

work, such as lobbying for warming centres, shelters and transitional housing. ! Print 12,000 weather-resistant outreach cards, which are updated, printed, and handed out to individuals in need by outreach workers and at the outreach centre each year. ! Supply holiday hampers for unique individuals around Christmas time. ! Support unique individuals with income tax completion and form completion for federal government programs. “People experiencing homelessness in Burnaby have reduced access to health care and services despite 55 per cent of Burnaby’s homeless having two or more health conditions,” says Society To End Homelessness president Karen O’Shannacery. “Our society, through this fundraiser, continues to provide warm, welcoming support and basic services such as food,

clothing and hygiene items to an average of 120 people per week, while encouraging and assisting them to access the services and housing that will help end or prevent homelessness. It takes a community to end homelessness, and CNOY funding also supports the society’s collaborative planning table where diverse stakeholders work towards ending homelessness in Burnaby.” Walkers were entertained by local musicians Rainshadow and Freedom95. Goodlife Fitness led a fiveminute warm-up that got the entire gym of participants onto their feet and dancing.The Burnaby North Secondary School’s marching band Vikings marched people off as they performed and the crowd followed them out of the gym and started the Coldest Night of theYear walk.

Deaf students in Burnaby got an impromptu visit from an Academy Award-winning actor last month. Marlee Matlin, who won the best-actress Oscar in 1986 for her role in Children of a Lesser God, dropped by the B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf (BCSD) at Burnaby South Secondary on Jan. 22. “She told me to do whatever inspires me,” Grade 10 student Madison Edney said. “She made me feel like I, too, can be an actor – even if some auditions don’t go my way. She encouraged me to keep practising, develop my skills and find my place.” Matlin, an activist and still the only deaf performer to have won an Oscar, was in Vancouver to shoot Limetown, an upcoming TV drama on Facebook Watch based on a popular podcast by the same name. Matlin will have a recurring role on the mystery series, which stars Jessica Biel and will feature Stanley Tucci as a regular. Children of a Lesser God was Matlin’s film debut. She went on to roles on series like Picket Fences, TheWest Wing, The LWord and, more recently, Quantico. Visiting with both hearing and deaf kids in the places she’s shooting has been

At BCSD, Matlin took time to deliver personal words of inspiration to every student, according to a school district press release. “Her gift of time extended beyond deaf and hardof-hearing students, as she visited adjoining Burnaby South’s American Sign Language classes to acknowledge the importance of community, as well as the significance of allies from her own experiences,” stated the release.

Communitynow Creekside Voyagers make robotics debut Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A team of Burnaby students who designed, built and programmed an industrial-sized robot from scratch in six weeks is in Victoria this week to put it through its paces at a Marsmission-themed competition. The FIRST Robotics (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology Robotics) competition challenges large teams of students to build and program robots of up to 125 pounds to compete against others in games of skill. Byrne Creek Community School got onboard for the first time this year, dubbing its team the Creekside Voyagers. “It’s not just the robot. It’s also funding for the robot, publicity, stuff like that,” said Grade 10 student Justin Viacrusis, who programmed the school’s entry, which weighs between 60 and 80 pounds. “It’s meant to simulate the real world.”

Students have only six weeks to design, build and program the robots, but teams can be as big as they want and there is no limit to the number of teachers and community volunteers who can help. Because this is the school’s rookie year, a core group of only about 10 students has done most of the work, but tech education teacher Steve Cook expects more to get involved next year, now that there’s a robot to pique their interest. “We’ve been driving the robot around in the school,” he said. “So, for next year, it seems like we have a ton of interest.” Cook is one of three teachers involved. He and fellow tech ed teacher Duncan McDonald have focused on helping the kids on the manufacturing side. Science teacher Ash Vince has helped Viacrusis with the programming. They’ve also brought in experts from the community, like a Red Seal metal fabricator to teach aluminum

Wheels in motion: Burnaby teens are learning to design, build and program industrial-sized robots from scratch.

TIG welding, a retired software engineer and a thirdyear BCIT civil engineering student who helped in the design phase, showing students how to prototype their project. Byrne Creek’s robot started as just a bunch of parts screwed onto a plywood sheet that Viacrusis programmed separately at first and then together. “The manufacturing and electronics/programming teams were interacting quite a bit during that phase because they would design something like the arm and then they would come to us to see if it was possible to program,”Viacrusis said. He said the group learned quickly that no individual would be able to go it alone. “Being on a team, it’s really showed me that you can work as a team to accomplish much greater things more easily,” he said. More important even than metal work or computer skills, Cook said the competition teaches kids what it takes to design a successful

project. “I think the best thing it teaches is how to prototype something and build something from scratch – the cycle of repeated failure and then using that failure to make something better,” he said. For Viacrusis, the best part has been working through one small programming problem after another to bring the robot to life. “It’s kind of like a parent and a child,” he said with a laugh. For six weeks, he said team members met every day after school to work on the project, and many took work home after that. The end result is a re-

mote-controlled, sixwheeled robot with “substantial torque,” thanks to four big motors like those found on electric wheelchairs. “I knew going into it it would be a ton of work, but I didn’t know the payoff would be this good,” Cook said of the process. At the competition in Victoria this week 50 robots will be put through their paces, tackling tasks meant to simulate a Mars mission, during which a space ship needs to be repaired and refuelled during a sandstorm. The sandstorm component requires the robot to be operated out of view of the driver.

The Byrne Creek team got around that problem by equipping their entry with wifi cameras that beam images to a computer. Despite being a rookie team,Viacrusis hopes Byrne Creek’s entry ends up on top. Looking forward to next year, Cook said the school will be looking to build on this year’s success with three things: money, materials and mentorship. He said the team will need about $15,000 to build its next entry. To find out more about the Creekside Voyagers, visit creeksidevoyagers.word press.com.

Fun is blooming in the Heights Maria Popa

special to the NOW

After a snowy and slushy February, spring is finally just around the corner. The days are getting longer, flowers are blooming, and the sun is making more frequent visits. With the start of each new season, there comes the chance to reset ourselves for what lies ahead. Spring break is coming up as well, but remember – you don’t have to splurge on extravagant trips or vacations to take advantage of the school break. Instead, take the opportunity to explore your local, friendly neighbourhood. Discover new spots or visit some old faves. Does your little one have lots of energy and want to learn some wicked moves? Perhaps taking up martial arts at Metro Performance Taekwondo Studio (4543 Hastings St.) is just what they need. For a chance to unleash their inner artist through painting or dance, specialty schools such as 4Cats Burnaby (4676 Hastings St.), Muckabout (4759 Hastings St.) and Artspace Children Art Centre (4588 Hastings St.) offer art courses and programs of all types, such as watercolour, clay work, and more. If the kids would rather stay at home, pick up a book that you can enjoy together and

Let us provide a little motivation.

For the readers: Plan a trip to Simona Powell’s bookstore Companion Books during spring break. PHOTO NOW FILES

spend some quality time reading or colouring. You’ll be sure to come across great finds at both Companion Books (4094 Hastings St.) and Brown’s Books (3740 Hastings St.). As the temperature outside is rising, people’s motivation to be more active does as well. Those who want to start a fitness journey or try a new environment to be their best, fittest self, visit The Next Step Training Centre (4680 Hastings St.), Dyer Fitness Inc (3972 Hastings St.), Anytime Fitness (#209 3701 Hastings St.), or EZ Fit (4099 Hastings St.). You can either sign-up for group fitness classes or book a personal trainer – whatever fits your style. For a healthy snack option after a tough gym session, pick up your favourite seasonal fruits and vegetables from

Triple A Market (4362 Hastings St) or Red Apple Market (4170 Hastings St). Then, make sure to treat yourself and your home, by buying some beautiful, fresh spring flowers. You can go to Plush Floral Studio (3978 Hastings St.), Adele-Rae Florist (4714 Hastings St.), or the floral department at Safeway (4440 Hastings St.). Regardless of how you choose to welcome the new season, make sure to take advantage of the warm weather and explore all that the Heights has to offer.

Burnaby company to fund scholarships MOVERS & SHAKERS

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Doteasy, a Burnabybased web-hosting company, is now accepting applications for its annual scholarship program. The Bright Future scholarship is open to all Canadian students in their final year of high school who can demonstrate how having a website would benefit their career goals, according to a press release. “We’ve been in business for over 19 years, but these days we’re seeing more of a need than ever for a website to advance your career. Crafting your online presence and having the skills to manage a website can have such an impact on your journey,” said Doteasy marketing manager William Wah in the release. “We want to support students financially, and also wanted to give them the tools to see how a website could help their career flourish.”

This is the second year the company has held the scholarship contest. Last year, Moscrop graduate Mika Velez received the runner-up prize of $750 and one year of domain name and hosting services for his own website. He was planning to study communication design after graduation. There are three scholarships up for grabs: $1,000; $750 and $500. For information on how to apply go to www.doteasy. com/scholarship. Applications are due March 31. BEARS GET SHARED Burnaby residents proved once again that they’re a caring bunch. More than $5,000 was raised in Burnaby for local charities through BC Liquor Stores’ annual Sharea-Bear campaign that ran back in December.The money was raised through the sale of stuffed bears. For every bear purchased, the government liquor store donated the bear’s twin to a

charity of its choice. Charities including Willingdon Care Centre, Monarch Place, Camp Kerry and B.C. Children’s Hospital all received donations from Burnaby stores during the campaign. In all, 443 bears were sold in the city,

according to the liquor distribution branch. GROUND-BREAKING ANNOUNCEMENT Burnaby-based electronics manufacturer Dorigo Systems has broken ground on a new facility.

The company held an event last month at the site of its future 106,000-square-feet manufacturing plant, located at Glenlyon Business Park. Once complete, the new facility will be more than twice the size of its existing

location on Henning Drive and will increase Dorigo’s production capacity, according to a press release. The new headquarters will include a state-of-theart manufacturing floor, training theatre, meeting rooms and recreation spaces for employees and is being designed by architect Christopher Bozyk and built by Burnaby-based developer Beedie group. “Dorigo has deep roots in Burnaby.We are proud of the fact that all Dorigo’s products are manufactured here, which supports the provincial economy and creates many jobs for local residents. In constructing our company headquarters in Glenlyon, we are reaffirming our commitment to B.C.’s manufacturing and high-tech industries,” said company president Mark Pillon. “Our new building will rank among the most sophisticated electronics facilities in the Pacific Northwest.” The new facility is expected to open spring of 2020.

College classrooms, a library and administrative offices may soon move into the space Best Buy used to occupy in Burnaby’s Metrotown area. Alexander College is looking to move a couple

blocks over from its current location in the Metro Pointe building at 4603 Kingsway to the second floor of the Centrepoint building at 4803 Kingsway, where the Best Buy used to be. The commercial building’s owner, Orr Development Corp., has applied to the city to have the proper-

ty’s zoning expanded to include institutional use to accommodate the 500student private college. “The subject location on the second floor is considered an ideal adaptable reuse of existing vacant commercial space, as it adds vibrancy and does not detract from street-orient-

ed commercial uses,” states a report that went to city council Monday. The location has enough parking to accommodate the college, according to the report, but the changes would include an addition of 19 secure underground bicycle parking spots and 16 exterior bike parking spaces.

The underlying commercial zoning would be retained under the plan to “permit the future adaptive reuse of the building for office and retail purposes.” Alexander College offers first- and second-year postsecondary courses. The college is looking to move into the former Best

Buy site because it is bigger than its current campus, a spokesperson told the NOW. The plan goes to a public hearing on March 26 at 6 p.m.

Get a sneak peek of the Luminescence exhibit LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

How do you top a mirrored infinity room that became the talk of the town? A fire-breathing dragon seems like a good place to start trying. Gallery goers can get a sneak online peek at one of the installations that will be part of the Luminescence IV exhibition when it opens at Deer Lake Gallery on Saturday, March 16: Ron Simmer’s Berzerkatroid Dragon. The Burnaby sculptor’s installation – which checks in at about 16 feet long, nine feet high, seven feet wide and 450 pounds – has been revealed as one of the highlights at the fourth annual exhibition of works celebrating light.The Burnaby Arts Council gallery has been holding the exhibition to mark the spring equinox each year since 2016, when Simmer’s infinity room became a huge draw and brought thousands of visitors to the gallery.

This year’s exhibition will include up to 30 two- and three-dimensional works by professional artists, all exploring the theme of light – and, if past years are anything to go by, visitors can expect an astounding array of work of all kinds. Check out the dragon at www.xarax.ca – and, while you’re at it, get your VIP pass now to be part of the opening night fun. VIP all-access passes are currently on sale for opening night; a $25 pass will get you priority access at 7 p.m. (general admission isn’t until 8 p.m.), an exclusive performance by ACROfire Entertainment, a private meet-and-greet with the artists and a drink ticket. You can buy them at luminescence2019.event brite.ca, or see www.burn abyartscouncil.org for more details about the show. DANCE POWER Congratulations to a pair of young dancers from a Burnaby studio for their strong showings at the Youth America Grand Prix.

Two students from Dance Collective earned top honours at the competition semifinals in Seattle in January, earning themselves an invitation to the prestigiousYouth America Grand Prix finals in NewYork City this April. Tess Browning, 15, earned second place in classical ballet and placed in the top 12 in contemporary in the senior division. Anthony Juo, 9, received the Hope Award in the precompetitive division for landing the highest-scoring performance in the division and achieving excellence in both classical and contemporary categories. Both young dancers have also been accepted into the summer intensive program at the Royal Ballet in London. Congratulations to both and to their teachers! And thanks to Anthony’s mom, Shirley Chiu, for letting us know about their success.) (And while I’m at it, an added note: I know there are a lot of high-achieving dance students out there. I

always welcome news from local studios and teachers, so if you know of an awardwinning young dancer who deserves the spotlight, drop me a line!)

PARENTING

Adopting a pet on a whim isn’t fair to your kids or the animal Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Our family has adopted an eight-week-old puppy from a pet rescue – a sweet Dalmatian who had been rejected for being “too ugly” due to her sparse display of spots. While we are delighted to have added a dog to our family, it seems as though puppies – especially Dalmatians – spark an urge in strangers to give unsolicited advice. One morning last week, I took my puppy out for a pee, and a nosy passerby called to me from across the street. “Hey, you know Dalmatians are a lot of work right? And a puppy?You’re going to have your hands full with that one.That dog is going to be so hyper, I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into,” he

said, slowly shaking his head as the words spewed from his lips. Flashing a fake smile, I thanked him for his concern and let him know that my last Dalmatian, who had lived to be 15.5 years old, had actually been a pleasant pup. Seemingly relieved, he retracted his cautions with an, “oh well, I’m sure you know what you’re doing then,” then wished me well and went on his way. I’m not sure what his purpose was in pushing his cautions as he passed by, but his unwanted warnings had me wondering: why do people feel so compelled to share their concerns with strangers, without having any backstory or real cause for concern? Then I remembered a viral video that I had watched onYouTube a few years back called Gift by Zsemberi Film. In the short film,

a family adopts a little girl and welcomes her into their home, and after she makes messes and gets in the way one too many times, the family quickly loses interest in her. Eventually, the dad puts the girl in the car, drives out to a field, throws her favourite stuffy, and as she chases after it, he drives away. In his rearview mirror, you discover that the girl is actually a puppy, sitting solo in the centre of the street, abandoned and confused. The video pulls on your heartstrings, and for good reason. It sparked a slew of comments about pet adoption and abuse and shed light on a big problem in regards to animal welfare that needs to be addressed. Children love puppies, and it can be easy to give in to their sweet little pleas to add a furry friend to the family. But just like the decision to have a child should be well thought out, so

BETTER MEALS home delivered meals since 1993

should be the decision to adopt a pet. While I may have gone into adding a puppy to my family fully prepared for the sleepless nights, nibbled-on shoes and late-night walks, many people rush into giving or adopting a pet without thinking about the long-term impact that their decision will have on the life of that pet, and themselves. I’m not sure if the stranger on the street had good intentions, or if he was just being a busybody, but I do know it is important to carefully consider your decision to adopt a dog, because it’s not something you should be doing on a whim – it’s a lifelong commitment that you have to be willing to make.

Artsnow INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Hear women’s stories at this intercultural event Everyday life stories through a multicultural lens. That’s how the Culture Chats B.C. Association is billing a community event on Saturday, March 9, featuring readings from its new Intercultural Women’s Writing Program.The free event is set to mark International Women’s Day, and it’s being held at 11 a.m. at the Tommy Douglas branch of Burnaby Public Library, 7311 Kingsway.

Women experience a collaborative environment and build a better intercultural understanding.

A collection of the women’s writings will be released in the form of a booklet. “The stories paint a vivid picture of community life,” said a press release about the event. “Many residents of our super-diverse neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver are straddling two

or more cultures successfully.This has shaped their expectations and experiences in their present day-to-day lives.The writing group reflects this diversity, representing the courageous female community builders who have absorbed many new influences and discovered common ties to bond with each other.” Participants in the writing program benefited from a number of professionals who visited workshop and writing sessions – including literary and theatre instructors, sociologists, researchers, digital content developers and authors. Asmita Lawrence, who was responsible for the design and coordination of the program, said she’s excited about the impact of the work. “The group is very supportive of each other.Women experience a collaborative environment and build a better intercultural understanding,” she said in the release. “We have endeavoured to provide women, particularly from minority cultures, races and ethnicities, with opportunities for self-expression and self-development.” Participants say the program has brought many benefits.

“Culture Chats has provided me with an opportunity to feel at home in the company of women who have similar yet varied experiences; women who have an eye on their past and a hopeful outlook to their future, who are so brave to share their thoughts, challenges, aspirations and stories,” said Blossom, one of the women who took part in the program. Adrianna, another writing group member, said the chance to meet the other participants was valuable. “The sharing and social interaction is particularly welcome because writing can be lonesome,” she said. “It is wonderful to get together on Saturday mornings for two hours to hone our writing skills and head home buzzing with a dozen different thoughts after our intercultural conversations.” Women with an interest in writing, reporting and community are invited to apply for the next intake of the program, which will likely happen in April or May, subject to funding. See www.culturechats. org/events for details.To register or inquire, email culturechats@gmail.com. The program is free.

Gallery to reopen in time for Capture fest New exhibit featuring work by American-Canadian photographer Lynne Cohen opens on March 14 The Burnaby Art Gallery is getting set to reopen with an exhibition that’s part of the Capture Photography Festival. The gallery has been closed for renovations since Jan. 14. It’s opening to the public again March 14 with the reception to launch Lynne Cohen:These Walls. The reception starts at 7 p.m.

The result … leaves the viewer with a mysterious narrative …

The exhibition features work by the American-Canadian photographer Lynne Cohen, best known for her photographs of institutional interior spaces – spac-

es generally inaccessible to the public, such as medical laboratories, private offices, factories, shooting ranges and military installations. This is the first time in many years that Cohen’s work has been exhibited on the West Coast.The exhibit includes loans from the Canada Council Art Bank, the Olga Korper Gallery in Toronto and Cohen’s estate, bringing together work from the 1970s through to the early 2000s. Cohen’s early artistic practice was based in printmaking and sculpture, but, in 1970, she began documenting domestic and recreational spaces in blackand-white photography. Over the years, she began working at a larger scale, in colour, and gaining access to less accessible sites. In the latter part of her career, she spent a significant amount of time in libraries looking in technical journals

Hidden places: Lynne Cohen’s photographs show the interiors of institutional spaces that are normally inaccessible to the public – locations such as laboratories, military installations, factories and more. Her work will be on display at Burnaby Art Gallery in These Walls, running March 15 to April 21. An opening reception is set for March 14. PHOTOS LYNNE COHEN, COURTESY BURNABY ART GALLERY

Examine your habits, good and bad DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Are you aware of your habits and their importance to your health and happiness? Most of us recognize at least some of our bad habits. If you don’t, someone you live with certainly will. These include those that are harmful to our health, such as smoking, snacking on junk food or staying up too late. And we’ve all tried to adopt new habits, such as eating more vegetables, walking instead of driving and going to the gym regularly. Why are bad habits so hard to break, and why does it seem so hard to create new healthier habits? Habits, by definition, are routines of behaviour that are repeated and reinforced to the point of occurring spontaneously with little conscious effort.

To begin a new habit, a particular behaviour has to be enjoyable and it needs to be reinforced by both a reward and repetition.Triggers or cues remind us when to perform the behaviour; this habit loop continues and the behaviour is reinforced. A principle in neuroscience is that neurons that fire together wire together. Repeated thoughts and behaviours are physically reinforced in our brains. This is in essence how we learn. Many of our habits are acquired in early life and we take them so much for granted that we don’t recognize them as habits.You don’t have to relearn how to brush your teeth, shower, walk up the stairs and ride a bike. We no longer need to give these learned activities our full conscious attention – in fact, most become subconscious.We can take a shower and get to school or work while daydreaming or planning our day.

Some habits develop very insidiously. Corporations are always trying to influence our habits. A morning coffee at McDonald’s,Tim Hortons or Starbucks is a morning routine of adults of every age. An idle moment in an elevator or waiting in line becomes the cue to take out the smartphone, check emails and social media. Getting those “likes” on Instagram and Facebook rewards our brains with a spike of dopamine. The most important thing about our habits is the way they dictate our behaviour.They can move us towards health and the important goals in life or lead us further away. And what we do every day ultimately defines who we are and what we become. Before you take a deep dive in examining your habits good and bad as well as how you might want to shape them, define your goals.Where do you want to be one year from now?What

do you want to achieve in five or 10 years? Begin with your end in mind. How would you like to be remembered by the people who are closest to you? Envision that best version of yourself. Use it to set the big goals in your life, and break those goals down into more manageable annual, seasonal and monthly goals. Define the smaller doable goals that you can reinforce with new daily deliberate habits. SAVE THE DATE At 7 p.m. on March 20 I’ll be presenting Keys to Positive Change:Transforming Our Bad Habits into Healthy Ones, a free talk at the Confederation Community Centre, 4585 Albert St.This talk is part of the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s Empowering Patients public health education series.To reserve a seat, contact Leona at lcullen@divisionsbc.ca or call 604-259-4450.

Final test for Rebels, Bulldogs Both Burnaby teams enter B.C.s road-tested Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A whole year of sweat and toil will have its just rewards this week, as the Burnaby South Rebels and Byrne Creek Bulldogs mount their respective charges into the B.C. High School boys basketball championships in Langley. The two squads began their respective provincial runs yesterday (Wednesday), past the NOW deadline. Nothing can take away from their achievements that got them this far. The Rebels, who opened against No. 13-seed Walnut Grove in the 4-A championships, had to endure some turmoil and a delicate four-game run to reach the B.C.s and the right to defend their 2018 title. By dropping Sir Winston Churchill 101-66 last Friday, Burnaby South claimed the third and final Lower Mainland berth to the B.C.s. It was the team’s fourth consecutive win after being handed a forfeit loss for dressing an ineligible player in the Mainland tournament’s opening game. Byrne Creek, meanwhile, secured its berth last Thursday, rallying to eliminate Magee 82-64 in a consolation semifinal.They wrapped up the 3-A Lower Mainlands by edging Steveston-London 81-76, and kicked off the 3-A provincials on Wednesday against No. 9-seed North Delta. A win would catapult the Bulldogs into the quarterfinals against either No. 1 Sir Charles Tupper or No. 16 Mark Isfeld, 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.The Burnaby squad has played both North Delta and Tupper three times, finishing with 1-2 records. If the Rebels win their first game, they would meet the winner of a No. 4 Vancouver College-No. 13 Centennial game on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. Both finals are slated for Saturday: 6 p.m. for 3-A, and 8:15 p.m. for the 4-A, both at the Langley Events Centre.

Burnaby ice dancers bring gold home Local athletes help B.C. register strong medal haul at CanadaWinter Games Dan Olson

It was gold on ice. A pair of Burnaby ice dance duos returned home from Red Deer with more than great memories. The teams of HaileyYu and Brendan Giang and Keira Kam and Matthew Carter cashed in as part of Team B.C., collecting gold in their respective competitions at the Canada Winter Games. Pre-novice ice dancers Yu, 13, and Giang, 15, were spot-on with their performances, scoring the second-best mark in the pattern skate (26.15), and knocking it out of the park in the free program (53.34), for a grand total of 79.49. They edged the Albertan pair of Grace Pele and Joel Portz by a one-point margin. BothYu and Giang are Burnaby natives.

RUGBY

Bulldogs build a thriving rugby program Byrne Creek school teacher finds the sport a perfect fit for diverse community Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Starting from scratch, the Byrne Creek Community School’s rugby program has a lot of the ingredients necessary for success. With approximately 80 students signing up, a dedicated instructor, support within the school, as well as businesses donating to the program, a lot of things have fallen into place as the 2-A senior boys season approaches. Add the international rugby community to that list, with this Wednesday’s appearance from the Kenya 7s men’s team at a team practice.The Kenyans, here in Vancouver for the weekend’s HSBC Rugby 7s tournament at BC Place, will drop by to help provide a boost to the local team. It’s just another step in the

building of a program, coach Moreno Stefanon said of the visit.With the start of the season just around the corner, the timing couldn’t have been better. “I phoned (rugby 7s organizers) up and asked if it was possible to get a team to come out to Byrne Creek. ….The guys were so ecstatic with what we did last year at West Vancouver with 138 kids out (with the South African team), so they said ‘For sure Moreno, let’s make it happen,’” remarked Stefanon, who is back teaching science in his hometown after a stint on the North Shore. Joining the Byrne Creek players will be students from the Edmonds and Stride Street community schools, making it a packed field to listen and watch the pros give a demonstration. Coming into this season, the

Bulldogs had no program to rebuild from. But where there is a will, there’s a way. “There wasn’t really any rugby here for a while,” noted Stefanon, a Burnaby North alum. “Byrne Creek three years or so back tried to run a Grade 8 team, and a year

It’s really what rugby is all about. It’s inclusion.

before they did run a Grade 8 team that actually won a (league) banner back then. But there has been no rugby since.” The sport, however, is wellsuited for a pop-up style restart.

Equipment is minimal compared to most sports, and a venue involves the Great Outdoors – including under some inclement weather. Last month’s snow however did throw training indoors, but a hearty core of 40 kept it up, and Stefanon expects a surge in attendance both with better weather and the coming end to the basketball season. It’s not the first high school rugby program that Stefanon has helped scrum. After graduating, he kept involved and coached the Vikings for a handful of years. Then four years ago, as a practicum teacher at Cariboo Hill, he launched the senior boys program that went on to win a league banner. “It’s such a perfect fit for Byrne Creek, the community and the Continued on page 37

Grade 8 Rebels Wolf Pack put quick bite on Steelers take B.C.s in OT

HOCKEY

Against league-leading NorthVan, Grandview struggles to generate offence Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Doing a Davey-and-Goliath once is rare.When asked to pull it off for a second straight time is a pretty stiff test. The Grandview Steelers have seen the momentum from their 4-1 series win over Richmond evaporate in their best-of-seven semifinal with the North Van Wolf Pack.

The top team in the Pacific Junior B Hockey League, the Wolf Pack started their series against the Steelers as the hunter, rolling up wins of 4-1 and 4-2. Game 3 was played last night (Wednesday), past the NOW’s deadline, while Game 4 is slated for tonight (Thursday), 8:15 p.m. at North Van’s Harry Jerome Rec Centre. Although Grandview scored

the first goal of the series off the stick of Maximilian Corazza, they’ve spent much of the two games trailing. Dominic Davis tallied twice in Game 1 for the Wolf, while Lucas Barker netted the game-winning goal in the second period on the powerplay. Cale Dolan kept the Burnaby team within sniping distance, turning aside 39 shots. Keeping North Van off the

The juniors led the parade. And the Burnaby South Grade 8 boys were more than ready to keep up. The Rebels’ Grade 8s wrapped up an amazing season with a thrilling 63-61 overtime victory over St. Pat’s for the provincial crown last week. The first-year Burnaby South squad stopped Abbotsford Middle 67-63 in the semifinal, with tourney MVP Brady Lau cashing in 31 points, four steals and three rebounds. Picking up all-star honours were Lex Paloma and Armaan Hehar. It came a week after the junior boys capped a perfect season by winning the provincial title.

powerplay was one assignment the underdogs did in Game 2, when the two teams were tied after 20 minutes. But the Wolf Pack got a pair of goals midway through the second period, 13 seconds apart, to grab a 3-1 advantage. JaroldYau and Tomislav Zlomislic supplied the Steelers goals. A fifth game, if necessary, would go March 9 in North Van.

Knights wrap it up with a victory

New program brings rugby to Byrne Creek

Continued from page 36 type of kids that are here.To have rugby and the structure that rugby provides, the values that rugby instills around respect, teamwork and camaraderie, and all these things. It’s exactly what the community needs,” he said. He’s taken on the role of Lower Mainland zone rep and a commissioner, putting in the time to help Byrne Creek get a foothold in the tough 2-A Tier 1 circuit. As the lone Burnaby school in the league, they line up against the likes of Sir Charles Tupper, Rockridge, Seycove,

Sutherland and defending B.C. champion Collingwood. Each of those are well-established teams who bring experience to every scrum. But with an aim of making incremental improvements each game out, Byrne Creek’s players can garner confidence as well as a strong bond in building something together, he noted. “It is really what rugby is all about. It’s inclusion.There’s a space for everybody – whether you are a big student, a smaller student, a tall student – there’s a spot for everybody on the rugby field.That’s the

importance of rugby.We don’t turn anybody away, there are no tryouts.We are just trying to build community.” Byrne Creek plays its first exhibition test on Thursday, 4 p.m. against McNair of Richmond, at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club.They also have a scheduled match against D.W. Poppy on April 5 at Swangard Stadium. “It will be a real test.We definitely have the athletic body; they just need to be like sponges and want to learn. If they do that we will make a lot of noise in the league I think,” said Stefanon.

Finishing up with a win, the St.Thomas More senior girls closed the AA provincials with a hardfought 68-56 victory over Britannia, placing seventh overall in the tournament. The Burnaby squad had to shake off a 2923 halftime deficit, but tied it with a strong third frame then pulled away thanks to a 9-2 start in the fourth quarter. Brooklyn Monks led all STM shooters with 17 points, while Cassiel Penalosa chipped in 14 points and Shiloh Corrales-Nelson added 13. The team ended with a 2-2 record, beginning with a 72-39 win over Duchess Park.

Jeanne graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1958; she worked for The Bay and then took early retirement from Suncor (PetroCanada). Jeanne and Tomas traveled the world with several trips to Spain to spend time with Tomas’ family. Jeanne was a loving mother, grandmother and sister. We all will miss her wisdom, compassion and love. She loved to sit and watch the birds in the back yard, go to the park on Saturdays with her long time friends for a picnic dinner and games of cards. The last few years were a challenge, but she never gave up! She loved her home, her neighbours, and all her friends. Jeanne was predeceased by her daughter Cheryl (1983) her parents; brother Jim and brother-in-law Morley.

Mary passed away on the evening of February 23 at the McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge. She had been ill for eight months with the effects of a brain tumor. Mary was born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, on June 20, 1931, but spent her youth in Cardiff, Wales, attending Howell’s School for Girls in Llandaff. In 1951, she received her secondary Teacher’s Certificate with a major in Biology from the University of London. In 1956, after responding to an ad in the London Times requesting applicants for a teaching post in Manitoba, Mary immigrated to Winnipeg where she taught science at St. John’s Technical High School. In Winnipeg, she met her husband, Leonard, whom she married in 1958. Her first son, Howell, was born in 1960. In the same year, she received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Manitoba. In 1962, Mary, Len, and Howell moved to Germany where Len taught at the Canadian Forces Base school at Baden, Baden for two years. Upon returning to Canada, the family moved to BC where Mary and Len taught in Arrowhead, Parksville, and Nanaimo, eventually settling in Campbell River in 1968. While living in Parksville, the couple welcomed their second son, Timothy, born in 1966. Mary and Len were lifelong learners, attending summer school at the University of Oregon from 1968-1977, culminating in Mary earning her Doctorate in Education. Mary moved into education administration, fulfilling various leadership roles on Vancouver Island and in the Kootenay Lake school district. Ultimately, she was appointed the first and only female Superintendent of New Westminster School District in 1981, retiring from that position in 1995. In addition to her professional career, Mary was also active in the New Westminster Rotary Club from 1992-2011, serving as their first woman President from 1998-1999. She supported a wide range of Rotary initiatives, notably in youth services and programs, and the Rotary Foundation, the international charitable arm of the organization. The Rotary Club recognized Mary with a Paul Harris Fellow designation in 1999. Beyond service work, Mary was an avid reader who also enjoyed knitting and sewing. She was also a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt. Mary was pre-deceased by her father, Howell (1959), mother, Edith (1987), and son, Timothy (1986). She will be held in respectful memory by her brother, Thomas (Wales), husband, Leonard, son, Howell, daughter-in-law, Shelley, grand-daughter, Bronwyn, and extended family in Canada and the UK. The family is grateful to Maple Ridge Home Health palliative nurses, Maple Ridge Hospital nurses, Nurse Next Door care-givers, and McKenney Creek Hospice nurses, for all of their support and kindness during Mary’s illness. In lieu of flowers, donations made in Mary’s memory to the BC Cancer Foundation, Ridge Meadows Hospice Society, or the New Westminster Foundation (c/o Rotary Club of New Westminster), will be greatly appreciated.
