NAILBITERS IN BURNABY RACE Burnaby voters almost stayed the course Tuesday night, but at press time some races were too close to call a winner

Local NDP incumbents Kathy Corrigan and Raj Chouhan won their ridings on Tuesday night, but their party didn’t fare as well as polls were predicting.

staff reporter

When it comes to close calls at the voting booth, Burnaby rarely disappoints – and last night’s election results were no exception.

In a virtual replay of the 2009 provincial election, the city’s four ridings were among the last in B.C. to be called, with the NDP and Liberal candidates in Burnaby-Lougheed and Burnaby-North swapping the lead positions by just fractions of a percentage point throughout the vote tally.

through the night.

In 2009, Lee took the seat with 825 votes over longtime Burnaby school board chair and NDP candidate Mondee Redman, and in 2005, Lee beat out current city councillor Pietro Calendino with just 65 votes.

Incumbents Raj Chouhan and Kathy Corrigan reclaimed Burnaby-Edmonds and Burnaby-Deer Lake, respectively, for the NDP, with confirmed wins by 10 p.m.

Chouhan enjoyed a decisive lead early in the polls and maintained a lead of 1,000

votes by press deadline. Corrigan’s race against Liberal opponent Shian Gu was closer, with about 600 votes between them after 88 polls of 131 were reported.

The gain for the NDP in Burnaby wasn’t enough to help with the predicted NDP win provincewide with the Liberals taking 41 seats and leading in 12, at press time, and the NDP elected in 26 ridings and leading in another six.

win in Delta South.

Pre-election polls had the NDP with a strong win after three successive Liberal terms.

Chouhan said the night’s results were a “big disappointment.”

“We were looking to form government,” he told the NOW. For more details on individual riding results, see stories on page 3, and look for more coverage online at www.burn abynow.com.

BURNABY-LOUGHEED

Jane Shin was in the lead – but Kramer nudging ahead

It was a neck-and-neck race in BurnabyLougheed, with results pouring in throughout the evening, and the gap between the Liberals and NDP often fewer than 100 votes.

Liberal candidate Ken Kramer watched the results coming in at his campaign office, with supporters feasting on pizza and chicken wings, but the office of NDP candidate Jane Shin was closed. Shin’s campaign manager told the NOW she was spending

the evening at the Burnaby-Edmonds office of Raj Chouhan.

Kramer started off with a slight lead on Shin, but as more results came in, the NDP candidate pulled ahead, first by fewer than 100 votes, then by a spread of roughly 400.

But then Kramer was closing in. At press time, the gap between the two was just 36 votes with Shin in the lead.

“I think it’s pretty obvious, it’s a tight riding,” Kramer said. “We kind of had that

sense that it was going to be really close.

I’m not surprised. ... We’re just going to hope for the best. We ran a really good campaign.”

Kramer hadn’t given up hope of winning.

“Anything’s possible,” said the firsttime candidate. “I already feel like a winner, I had a great experience, but it’s not over yet.”

At press time, when 108 of 129 ballot

boxes were in, Shin, with 5,540 votes, had a slight lead on Kramer, who had 5,504 votes.

Shin was not available for comment.

Green candidate Darwin Burns had 1,107 votes, and Christine Clarke had 933 votes. Clarke is a B.C. Conservative but she was listed with no affiliation on the ballot.

The Burnaby-Lougheed riding used to be held by Liberal Harry Bloy, who did not run again after a series of gaffes.

BURNABY-DEER LAKE

Kathy Corrigan will serve second term in city

Incumbent NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan seems to have kept her seat this election, but there was little elation when her win was announced at her party’s gathering in Burnaby last night.

Corrigan and fellow candidate Raj Chouhan were joined by supporters at an NDP Burnaby campaign office, where the evening started upbeat but turned gloomy as the election results trickled in, indicating a B.C. Liberal majority.

“Right now, it’s looking like we might

not be in government, and I’m highly disappointed,” Corrigan said.

The NDP will likely examine the reasons it didn’t win government – something both the polls and the pundits were predicting for months.

“There was definitely a pretty negative campaign by the Liberals, which I think was unfortunate, but I really am proud of Adrian Dix and the NDP for being positive,” Corrigan said.

Her husband, Burnaby Mayor Derek

Corrigan, didn’t mince words when it came to his feelings about the Liberals.

“In no uncertain terms, this has been the worst government – a government that has shown a tremendous tendency toward corruption,” he said. “This government has been inclined towards doing things to the benefit of their friends.”

One of the key issues in BurnabyDeer Lake is the replacement of Burnaby Hospital, and Corrigan said she would continue to “fight” for its replacement.

Corrigan also sent well wishes to her fellow candidates Shian Gu and Rick McGowan.

Green candidate McGowan congratulated Corrigan. “That’s good,” he said when told about her likely win. “Kathy’s been a good representative.”

Liberal candidate Gu also congratulated Corrigan. While disappointed he didn’t win, Gu was pleased with the Liberal majority.

“You can see which party the people like,” he said.

BURNABY-NORTH

Richard Lee stays ahead of Routledge by thin margin

It was a close race in Burnaby North, with final results not in by press time. But B.C. Liberal candidate Richard Lee stayed ahead of B.C. NDP candidate Janet Routledge by a thin margin of votes throughout the evening.

That gap widened toward the end of the night, with Lee coming in at 5,637 votes to Routledge’s 4,975 votes after 108 of 129 ballot box results were reported.

“We are optimistic on the numbers,” Lee said at about 10 p.m. “I would like to thank all thee volunteers for helping me – they

don’t eat, they don’t sleep sometimes.”

Lee, who has held the riding since 2001, had a handful of volunteers at his campaign office on Tuesday night. He watched the computer screens along with his wife, Anne, early in the evening, smiling with a sense of suppressed optimism.

While the Burnaby results had not yet trickled in at that point, Lee said the B.C. Liberals’ numbers overall were encouraging.

“This riding is always close,” he told media and supporters, adding he expected

to be waiting until at least 11 p.m. for final results.

“It’s going to be a long night, Richard,” his campaign manager said.

At B.C. NDP candidate Janet Routledge’s office, the mood was more boisterous early on.

While Routledge was not on hand for most of the evening, more than 30 supporters and volunteers gathered in the lowly lit office to watch the race on a large TV. But as the evening wore on, the tone in the office was one of consternation and

concern.

While supporters cheered when B.C. NDP candidate David Eby pulled ahead of Christy Clark in Vancouver-Point Grey at one point, there were sighs of disappointment as the gap between Lee and Routledge grew.

B.C. Green Party candidate Carrie McLaren came in at 858 votes as of press time. B.C. Conservative candidate Wayne Marklund came in at 356 votes as of press time.

BURNABY-EDMONDS

Raj Chouhan holds onto Edmonds for NDP Incumbent NDP candidate Raj Chouhan kept his Burnaby-Edmonds riding, but was disappointed about his party’s overall performance in the polls.

The polls as of 10:20 p.m. last night had 5,115 votes for Chouhan with 50 per cent, 4,036 for Liberal candidate Jeff Kuah, 921 votes for Green party candidate Wyatt Tessari and 111 votes for Excalibur Nick D’Amico.

“We have to accept the people’s verdict, whatever that verdict may be. That’s what

democracy is all about,” Chouhan told the Burnaby NOW after the announcement about the Liberals forming government.

“Of course it’s a big disappointment. We were looking to form government.”

Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP incumbent Kathy Corrigan joined Chouhan at his campaign office alongside many supporters – most saying they were surprised at how close the competition was.

Chouhan said this time around he intends to be more vocal on the issues

closest to him such as seniors, housing and child poverty – but he’ll continue his positive approach in Victoria. “(We’ll) make sure those issues are heard loud and clear,” he said.

Chouhan also thanked Kuah, D’Amico and Tessari for running great campaigns.

Over in Vancouver celebrating with the Green Party, Tessari said he was personally happy to see Chouhan take the Edmonds seat because “(Raj) is a good man.”

“We’re very happy with the results so

far,” Tessari said. “We got our first MLA. It’s very good news.”

He said his second choice was the Liberals and he thinks the NDP’s lost their chance to form government because “they didn’t stand up for what they really stood for.” Tessari noted that he intends to run again in the next election.

Kuah did not return the Burnaby NOW’s request for comment by press deadline.

Transit Police believe other women may have been approached staff reporter

A Vancouver man has been arrested after allegedly harassing women between the Granville and Edmonds SkyTrain stations last week.

On May 2, Transit Police were informed about a Craigslist posting regarding a man who allegedly sexually assaulted women on the SkyTrain between Vancouver and Burnaby.

The posting included a suspect description, a time of day the man would enter Granville Station each morning and his behaviour.

Transit Police in plain clothes went to Granville Station the next morning and spotted a suspect matching the description from Craigslist speaking with a woman on the train.

“He was taken into custody and removed from the train at Broadway and Commercial,” the press release states. “Investigation revealed that the suspect had approached the woman and made a lewd sexual proposition to her. She advised that she was shocked by what he said.”

Transit Police believe the man may have been doing this for a few months and

Car vandals on a spree Police are investigating a number of car break-ins that happened last Friday in the 6800-block of Village Green just off Beresford Street in South Burnaby.

Five vehicles in total were broken into sometime between 6 p.m. Thursday night and 6:30 a.m. Friday morning, according to Cpl. Dave Reid of the Burnaby RCMP. “Nothing valuable was taken but, of course, the problem we run into is the damage to the vehicles and the associated costs,” he said.

The vehicles were all parked in an underground parking lot in one of the condominium buildings within the Village Green area.

South Burnaby wasn’t the only area in the city hit by break-ins this weekend. Residents in the area of Belcarra and Sierra Drives, north of Hastings Street, awoke Sunday morning to find nine vehicles had been broken into sometime during the night.

LAST INDEPENDENT CINEMA

Dolphin looking for alternative site Stefania Seccia staff reporter

It might be curtains for the Dolphin at its staple location on Hastings Street, but the theatre could eventually pop up at a different site in the future.

Although being at 4555 Hastings St. for the past five decades, Dolphin Cinemas operator Rahim Manji says he wants to review other spots in the city for a new Dolphin site.

“Moving forward, I will be looking at alternative locations to reopen the Dolphin theatre in Burnaby,” Manji said in a statement to the Burnaby NOW. “I would like to reiterate my appreciation to the property owner and the entire community for their support over the years, and I look forward to being a part of the community again in the very near future.”

Manji has operated the theatre for the past two-and-a-half years, and said it’s only been a good experience, but has not been an economic success lately.

“Throughout my time in this community, I have received great support from my neighbours as well as the property owner, especially in the form of rental concessions, building improvements and reductions in operating costs,” he said. “Despite their goodwill and my best efforts, as well as the support I have received from the community, over the last couple of years it has become clear that even if I were to pay below market rent, I will not be able to operate the cinema

profitably at this location.”

At its Monday night meeting, Burnaby council gave first reading to a rezoning bylaw that would lead to the Dolphin’s demolition.

The rezoning bylaw for the theatre will go to public hearing on May 28, and after that, if the developer meets its prerequisites, it could be demolished any time after the bylaw receives third reading or final adoption.

The Dolphin can continue to operate until the rezoning bylaw for 4555 Hastings St. receives third reading.

According to Chris Dikeakos, the architect representing the property owners, the theatre is no longer commercially viable.

“The landscape in the movie industry is changing and will need to upgrade cinema facilities to accommodate the shift to digitization in the movie theatre business,” Dikeakos said in a statement to the NOW. “When coupled with the economic pressures related to the current cinema location, it is no longer viable to continue the operation of the theatre. As such, the owners have made an application to the City of Burnaby to rezone the property according to the general guidelines for the area, and including a special floor for disabled housing.”

Heights Entertainment – which is comprised of three local investors, including Sheldon and Marie Scott – owns the property.

The proposed site will have retail units on the bottom floor facing Hastings Street, 11 accessible rental

units on the second storey for the Vancouver Resources Society and 20 units of market housing on the third and fourth storeys, according to a city staff report.

The market housing will offer two studio units at 399 square feet; 12 one-bedroom units, ranging from 603 to 660 sq. ft.; and five two-bedroom units, which will range from 930 to 994 sq. ft.

“Our proposed development is consistent with the intent of the Hastings Street area plan and is similar in built form to other nearby developments recently constructed or proposed under similar zoning,” Dikeakos said.

The Vancouver Resources Society is a not-for-profit and will purchase the 11 units slated for accessible rental housing when the proposal gets its final stamp of approval from council. “(The society) is very excited about the project proposed at 4555 Hastings St. in Burnaby,” said Ken Fraser, the society’s executive director. “We have expressed our formal interest and intent to the property owner to purchase 11 units, an entire floor, in this proposed development.”

The independent living sharedcare model includes an entire floor of a residential development, made up of six to 12 units, and a small unit for 24 hour onsite staff.

“This model allows persons living with complex medical needs to live independently in their own condominium, instead of in an institution or hospital setting,” Fraser said.

their stripes during struggles as advocates for health care, small businesses, and sundry other causes, are used to lobbying, pleading, making, and remaking, their cases for change.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tired of constant tax increases

Dear Editor:

Re: Homeowners get 2.47 per cent tax increase, Burnaby NOW, May 10.

When will the Burnaby city council drop the pretense that they are effectively controlling spending and wisely using our tax dollars.

Every year, for as long as I can remember, property taxes in Burnaby have increased at a rate faster than inflation. Every year, council blames these increases on wage increases and outside sources like the Metro Vancouver regional government.

This year, they are even further disguising the actual increase by charging separately for garbage pickup.

Slavin REGIONAL CLASSIFIED MANAGER Trixi Agrios CLASSIFIED SUPERVISOR Dawn James CLASSIFIED REPS Darla Burns, John Taylor, ACCOUNTING Judy Sharp

At the same time, Burnaby continues to build up an ever-increasing reserve of funds – funds that actually represent extra tax burdens on individuals.

I believe taxes are a necessary and good thing when they are properly allocated to support the services we demand as citizens. I have few illusions that Burnaby council actually does such a good job at fiscal management.

It’s time council cut the BS, started using some of the reserves to support services in Burnaby and came clean with voters about what is actually happening to the real tax rates we pay. Those rates include fees charged at city facilities, property and business taxes and other items added to tax bills.

After all, taxpayers only have one wallet.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks for returning cash

Dear Editor:

I am a senior living in Burnaby and have recently begun to use TaxiSavers occasionally.

On the last occasion, I noticed the driver of Bonny’s Taxi flipped the meter when we arrived at the store then charged me $20 more for the fare than the previous time I used the taxi for the same route.

I complained to Bonny’s Taxi that I was taken advantage of and was told that this was an illegal practice, but I wanted to be reimbursed the extra fare I was charged.

I followed up with a phone call to the licensing department at city hall and was told the matter would be taken care of.

Today, a person from Bonny’s Taxi came to my house with the $20.

I would like to thank city hall for following up on my complaint, and also to Bonny’s Taxi for reimbursing me.

I would also like to remind other seniors using a taxi to watch that the driver doesn’t flip the meter and overcharge them.

Jake Otter, Burnaby

Add LGBT to curriculum

Dear Editor:

The British Columbia Ministry of Education should update their intermediate elementary curriculum to include lessons on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.

Presently, there is no requirement that elementary teachers teach their students about LGBT issues at all. It is not until Grade 6 that students are required to learn about stereotypes and discrimination. Even then, it is only suggested that teachers discuss sexual orientation with their students (British Columbia Ministry of Education, n.d.).

Five percent of Canadians identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (Carlson, 2012). This means that there are probably children in all schools that have family members or friends that are LGBT, or may be LGBT themselves. That is why students need to be introduced to LGBT issues starting in the intermediate grades.

Students may begin to wonder about their own sexual orientation, and that of their friends and family members as they enter puberty. But if children are only

being taught from a young age about heterosexuality, then children in the LGBT community will probably feel alienated, confused or depressed. Children need to be taught about respect and tolerance and that all kinds of families are normal and acceptable – not just those families with a man and a woman as parents.

Incorporating LGBT content in the intermediate grade curriculum may help to reduce bullying in schools. Fifty-nine percent of LGBT high school students report being verbally harassed, compared to seven percent of non-LGBT students (CBC News, 2010). LGBT students are bullied more than those that do not identify as LGBT. Introducing LGBT material at a younger age can teach all students to be more accepting. Harassment or bullying does not suddenly appear in high school.

Stereotypes and discrimination develop over time. Students who are taught in elementary school to be tolerant and respectful of individual differences will be better equipped to handle the challenges of life.

In British Columbia, LGBT youth are seven times more likely to commit suicide than heterosexual youth (McCreary, 2008).

These high suicide rates could probably be reduced if students were introduced to LGBT content earlier in elementary school.

LGBT youth would not have to feel so isolated, depressed or be bullied so often.

All students would be taught that people who identify as LGBT deserve to be treated the same as everyone else. The curriculum should be updated to give students knowledge so they can make informed decisions.

There will always be those opposed to LGBT content. However, changing the curriculum does not have to mean changing family beliefs. It is up to parents to teach their children what they want.

This is not about schools trying to teach students to think a certain way. It is about all schools teaching tolerance and respect.

Students need to be given information that allows them to make informed decisions for themselves and how they act around other people.

Including LGBT material in the intermediate elementary curriculum is about recognizing that all people are equal and should be treated that way.

track record.

At no time, however, did the party engage in the kind of personal attacks that were routinely part of the other camp’s strategy.

But the NDP lost

ground during the campaign, according to those polls. A once insurmountable lead shrunk to single digits. Does that suggest people aren’t inspired by the positive approach and are lured by the negative?

Whatever the outcome,

it’s bound to have an impact far greater and farther reaching than the last two elections and many more before them.

B.C. licences needed Becoming a B.C. resident comes with a fair number of perks but there’s one requirement that’s widely ignored by new residents – getting a provincial driver’s licence.

According to Sgt. Dave Bell of the Burnaby RCMP traffic services unit, foreign licences being used by immigrants is a problem.

“People seem to just come here and drive around on their licences.

Common sense tells you ‘gee, I guess if I’m going to live here I better get a licence,’ but many of the people … seem to either not follow up, or ignore it, or their understanding of the requirements is confused,” he said.

The issue becomes even more problematic when considering the various exemptions in Section 34 of the Motor Vehicle Act. For example, foreign or outof-province students can continue to use their own driver’s licences for up to six months, Bell said.

“They’re students, so their not taking up residency,” he said. “But if they’re taking up residency and you’ve come to Canada, then there’s this limitation of 90 days.”

Bell added if students

ignore this regulation and continue to drive with a foreign licence, it becomes invalid and can be seized by an officer.

For all other new residents to the province, they have 90 days to get a B.C. driver’s licence, Bell said.

“What we would do to establish whether or not we feel they’ve been a resident … we would look at our police database,” he said.

If the database shows a violation or a police file older than six months, this indicates the driver is likely a resident, Bell said.

The officer would then check the driver for any other provincial identifica-

tion, including a care card or B.C. identification card.

“The police officer (could then) seize the licence and give a ticket for $109,” he said.

According to Bell, if drivers don’t use a valid licence, any vehicle they drive is uninsured and ICBC can declare the insurance policy invalid.

“If you’re not properly licensed to drive in B.C. then you have no insurance,” he said. “The requirement of the Motor Vehicle Act is, if you’re going to drive and have insurance and all those things, you have to be licensed to do it.”

‘AFTER MY ACCIDENT, ALL MY DREAMS COLLAPSED AND I COULDN’T DO ANYTHING,’ – MUSTAFA HASAN

Paralyzed by bomb - he now helps others

A

bout eight years ago, Mustafa Hasan was stuck in Baghdad traffic when he heard an explosion.

A car bomb had gone off somewhere behind him and a swarm of people came running past his car to get away from the burning vehicle. Before he had time to figure out what to do, another car exploded, this one fewer than 10 cars behind him. By now, his friend, the driver, had fled, leaving him sitting trapped, alone and confused in the passenger seat.

He couldn’t move, and he was dizzy and hurt from where his head had smashed into the windafter the second blast.

ON MY BEAT shield A police officer appeared and Marelle Reid yelled at him to get out of the car, but he was stuck. The officer raised his gun, and yelled again, telling the young man to put his hands above his head. Hasan tried to explain that he needed help, but the officer didn’t hear him. In vain, Hasan tried to raise his weak arms, but they dropped back into his lap. The officer fired and Hasan ducked. Crouched down and afraid for his life, he vowed he would leave Iraq as soon as he could if somehow he could get out of this mess.

J

Determined:

Mustafa Hasan, 32, was paralyzed from the neck down after a missile attack in his hometown of Baghdad knocked him off the roof of his family’s home in 2003.

Hasan is now a permanent resident in Canada and was recently awarded the BC Gert Vorsteher Memorial Award for rising above extreme challenges to become independent.

◆

ust a couple of years before, in 2003, the 21-year-old Hasan had been adjusting the antenna on the roof of his family home in al Karada, a suburb of Baghdad, when an American missile struck a police station a block away. The shock wave knocked him to the ground and broke his neck. From that day, he was paralyzed from the neck down.

Born in Iraq in 1981, Hasan experienced his share of tragedy early in life – his father was killed during the Iran-Iraq war when he was 11 months old, and his older sister died in an accident when he was 15 – but his life had otherwise been good, he says.

He loved swimming and playing chess, and he looked forward to a bright future. After becoming paralyzed, however, he lost all hope.

“After my accident, all my dreams collapsed and I couldn’t do anything,” he says. “I felt that I had become less than zero, … all my dreams become just to walk again.”

After he woke up from surgery and found he could not move his arms or legs, Hasan realized he was like an infant again – completely dependent on his family.

“I wanted to die,” he says. “I didn’t want to be in a wheelchair at all.”

After several failed attempts to take his own life, he realized that having been saved by family members who would not let him give up was reason enough to go on living.

“So I left the country,” he says. “It’s hard to leave, but you have to think, if I (do) not leave, maybe I will get (into) another accident. Maybe I will lose my hand or my leg. That’s normal there. Everyday explosions, so many checkpoints, … you cannot have a normal life.”

Hasan and his younger half-brother went to Jordan in 2006 and from there applied for refugee status to come to Canada. They arrived in Vancouver in 2009, and a couple of years later the rest of his family – his mother, sisters and nephew – followed, though his stepfather was unable to get refugee status and remains in Jordan.

Hasan says he chose Vancouver because of its relatively mild climate, and soon after arriving he became a permanent resident with a dogged determination to assimilate and contribute to his new community as soon as possible.

“When I come to Canada, I want to go to school and continue in my new life, learning Canadian language, learn the Canadian lifestyle, culture, traditions,” he says.

He found an apartment in Burnaby and signed up for English classes, as well as physical therapy at the G. F.

Marelle Reid/burnaby now

Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. ive days a week, he spent his mornings studying and his afternoons working out. A year later, he learned about a new study being done at the Blusson Spinal Cord Research Centre in Vancouver and signed up for that, too, because he figured it was an opportunity he could not pass up. “(In Iraq) it’s not many opportunities to improve your life,” he says. “There is no great opportunities, and we don’t have organizations like G.F. Strong or like Rick Hansen Institute to support people with spinal cord injuries. People with spinal cord injuries are limited there.

Here you have unlimited opportunities.”

The physiotherapy and rehabilitation Hasan received at both centres allowed him to regain the use of his arms, as well as much of the use of his hands. Being able to use a manual wheelchair and regaining his independence, he was then able to try out for wheelchair rugby. He made the cut for the Vancouver team, and soon after the provincial B team.

Playing rugby is something Hasan says has given him

F

a physical challenge and a sense of belonging.

“They are really great guys and helped me a lot and add (to) my life a lot,” he says. “We have become friends.”

The sport has also given Hasan opportunities to travel.

This week, his team is heading to Calgary to play for the national championship. hen he is not playing wheelchair rugby or studying, Hasan volunteers part-time at the Blusson Spinal Cord Centre at the information desk.

He is also a participant in cutting-edge research to help advance treatment for spinal cord injuries, which he says he works hard at not just for himself but for others who have been paralyzed and may one day benefit from the advances in knowledge and technology.

“It’s not just my goals, it’s their goals, too,” he says.

Helping others is something Hasan says he enjoys because he knows what it’s like to need support.

Last year he got an on-call job as a life skills facilitator for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. and discovered

Product Hailed by Doctors as the Solution for Back Pain

Doctor developed decompression belt has been called the solution for back pain. Dr. Michael Ho announced he is giving 50% off for one week only. Due to the Spring rush, each household is limited to only 2 belts.

By Marc Charron

Health and Lifestyle

Back pain affects 8 out of 10 people. It can also rob you of your happiness, where getting out of bed becomes a painful reminder of your bad back. While pills provide temporary relief, the condition can reoccur, because pills mask the symptoms and do not target the cause of the pain.

Other treatments cost thousands of dollars or have substantial health risks. “That’s why most people end up “living” with their bad back,” says Dr. Michael Ho. Dr. Michael Ho is a doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in treating the cause of chronic back pain, including Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatic Nerve Pain, Scoliosis, Spinal Stenosis and Herniated / Bulging discs. His belief is to treat the cause of the problem so that patients get long term relief, earning him international recognition for his patient care and expertise. "o Belt

With Belt

Dr. Ho has developed a back supporting decompression belt that can be used at home, allowing you to help relieve your back pain, while saving time and money.

Dr. Ho’s brand new Decompression Belt is endorsed by medical professionals and customers that have suffered with long-term, chronic back pain.

"I have used many modalities to treat my patients, but nothing is as effective as the decompression belt. To effectively treat someone with back pain, the patient must receive treatment everyday for 6 - 8 weeks. People cannot afford the time or money to visit the doctor everyday. I developed this belt because patients need a device they can use at home,” says Dr. Ho. Dr. Ho’s Decompression Belt expands to help decompress the spine to provide support and help relieve the pain.

The belt will help relieve your pain in as little as 20 minutes, even if you’ve suffered with back pain for many years. And you can even wear the belt while doing activities.

Hasan: Recognized for efforts continued from page 11

a passion for helping newcomers settle into their new country.

“I really enjoy this job because it reminds me of when I first came to Canada, how much help I (needed),” he says. “I enjoy to help others that are newcomers because they really need it. Even I can feel … how much they need help. So, I really like that job.”

In recognition of his many achievements, Hasan was recently awarded the B.C. Rehab Gert Vorsteher Memorial Award, presented to people with disabilities who have risen above extreme challenges and become independent.

This year, eight winners were selected from across the province, all of whom received the award worth $5,000 during a presentation last week at the G.F. Strong centre.

Hasan says it was a surprise to him to be nominated for the award.

“When (my social worker) nominated me, I don’t think I’m going to deserve it because every year I saw the post and people do so many great jobs (who win the award), so it’s really like a dream,” he

says.

Earlier this month, Hasan was asked to speak at his old ESL school to share with the students his challenges of coming to a new country where he knew nothing of the culture or even the language. “It was my first experience and it was difficult but they say I did a good job,” he says of his talk.

Hasan says he is grateful to all the people who have helped him find a home here in Canada, and especially for the opportunities to be of service to others.

“In beginning I just had dream just to help myself,” he says. “Now I could help others. Imagine. They make me even forget my disability. I do not feel now I am really disabled. I can do more than people with able (bodies).”

Hasan says he looks forward to helping more immigrants adjust to life in Canada and to helping others with disabilities to rise above their limitations and see the possibilities in their lives. His advice?

“Just challenge your ability,” he says.

“Just challenge your life, and you will deserve it. I still want to walk again, but if it’s not possible you have just to keep working and never give up.”

Cleaning up the ’hood HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

E

nvironment week is fast approaching, and volunteer streamkeepers are hosting a cleanup event to improve the health of Eagle Creek, a local fishbearing stream.

Volunteers will gather in the Greystone area beside Burnaby Mountain Golf Course, and there may be a chance to see cutthroat trout in the creek.

(Based on what I’ve heard from last year, the kids absolutely love this part.)

If the weather is good, volunteers will also be marking storm drains with yellow fish, which serve as a reminder not to dump anything down storm drains that lead to sensitive fish habitat. Three groups are sponsoring the cleanup: the Eagle Creek Streamkeepers, residents of Greystone Village and SFU’s geography students.

Gloves, garbage bags and refreshments will be supplied. To get involved, go

to the Greystone shopping plaza at 1601 Burnwood Dr. on Saturday, June 8.

The event runs from noon till 3 p.m.

Canadian Environment Week runs from June 2 to 8.

Volunteer with Wildlife Rescue

The Wildlife Rescue Association is looking for volunteers for May 26.

Volunteers will help with gardening, planting and construction at the Wildlife Rescue Association’s habitat garden, which provides refuge for wildlife.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old with an up-todate tetanus shot.

To volunteer, get in touch with the association by calling 604-526-2747 or emailing volunteer@wildliferescue.ca.

The Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. helps injured and orphaned wildlife at a facility close to Burnaby Lake.

Burnaby women of distinction

Kudos to the Burnaby residents nominated for the YWCA Women of Distinction Awards.

The annual awards go to women whose outstanding contributions and achievement support the well being and future of their communities.

The Burnaby nominees are: Claire Cupples, SFU’s dean of science; Mae Burrows, founder of Toxic Free Canada; Wendy Slavin, CEO of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s B.C. and Yukon branch; Catherine Aczel Boivie, CEO of Canadian Women in Technology; Brittany Palmer, founder of Unlock Your Future: the Key to Scholarships; and Ceilidh Millar, founder of End Bullying Through Peer Advocacy.

A couple of those names you’ll recognize from reading the NOW. Last June, we ran a feature on Palmer and how she started her own business, teaching students how to apply for scholarships.

Burrows has also been in the NOW for her work with Toxic Free Canada, a group campaigning against toxins.

The award winners will be announced May 28, at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver. jmoreau@burnabynow. com

Silver Annual Board Partners

The Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre provided the setting for this year’s Burnaby Board of Trade Sustainability & Business Forum on May 1st. The event, which was presented by the BCIT School of Business, Encorp Pacific, Electronic Arts, and FortisBC, was particularly unique this year, with the BBOT taking the

opportunity to officially launch its Pledge for a Sustainable Community initiative.

The Pledge is an online resource where businesses can find tips, links, and case studies on how to reduce their environmental impact and at the same time save money in energy costs. Since the soft launch of the website (bbotpledge.ca) in August last year, over 80 businesses – of all sizes, sectors and industries – from across

the Lower Mainland have taken the Pledge.

The event also featured tabletop displays of some featured Pledge Takers, and an introduction from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. The Mayor spoke at length about the City’s upcoming Environmental Sustainability Strategy, and their own recently announced Pledge commitments, including ongoing incorporation of green continued on pg. 3

Mayor Derek Corrigan speaks on Burnaby's complete community

06%#H .#HHAF6$ "J9A>JHE 5+83 <C6CJ #I CDJ .AC% 6""HJEE Urban development in Burnaby’s four main town centres, along with social and environmental sustainability were the key themes of Mayor Derek Corrigan’s speech at his State of the City address on April 17th. The event, which took place at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, is an annual luncheon organized by the Burnaby Board of Trade for its membership and the business community at large.

“Our planning framework, developed many years ago, envisioned four distinct and complete town centres – Edmonds, Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed,” said Corrigan. “Each represents a quadrant of our city and, along with the urban villages within them, offers unique business, entertainment and recreation opportunities, rapid transit and a full range of housing and services.”

Scan with for photos

“This provides a complete community, giving residents the option to walk, bike, take transit or drive to a local destination where they can access goods and services to meet their daily needs. These four Burnaby Communities now uniquely reflect our city’s diversity and each has developed based on your input, as citizens, business owners and non-profit organizations.”

The Mayor described Metrotown as Burnaby’s urban focal point, and noted its commercial significance and its role as the city’s main transportation hub.

Major development of Station Square by Anthem Developments and the Beedie Development Group will create new pedestrian-oriented and mixed use space.

The Brentwood area also has major development plans, as the area will

grow into a high density residential community while maintaining a strong commercial area.

In the Edmonds neighbourhood the vision for an inclusive, transit connected community with a broad range of housing options will be discussed at length with the public.

Finally, in the Lougheed area, where the Mayor acknowledged growth has been slow, Skytrain expansion is expected to help the area transition from a largely “mall-based” economy to more compact, high density development.

In addition to Burnaby’s four major centres, Corrigan also discussed changes to the city’s industrial and business centre in the Big Bend area.

“Construction on the Burnaby Business Park, along North Fraser Way, is nearing

completion. Discussions have also begun between the City and Oxford Properties on conceptual planning for a new business park on the former Norampac Burnaby Mill site,” he said. “The concentration of available and flexible office and industrial space has attracted many businesses to Burnaby. This has established the area as an economic generator, not only for the city but also for the province.”

From a financial position and outlook, Burnaby remains strong with the City’s 2012 year-end financial statements reporting an increase in Net Financial Assets of nearly $51 million. The City’s investment portfolio earned an annual yield of 5.0% and income of $37.7 million that year, although projections for 2013 are slightly lower with an expected annual return at 4.75%.

In the arena of sustainability, Corrigan spoke at length about the City’s Social Sustainability Strategy and the forthcoming Environmental Sustainability Strategy – the former of which has won the City two planning awards.

“Since [the environmental sustainability strategy] was implemented in 2011, we have been busy acting on priority recommendations, with a Phase 1 implementation plan now in place.”

Continued Corrigan: “The new Environmental Sustainability Strategy will ensure the City continues to recognize the importance of environmental stewardship.

The twenty-three member steering committee – which I chair … is comprised of a wide range of Burnaby citizens who are providing leadership and vision as we develop this city-wide strategic policy. The

steering committee is currently preparing for the first wave of public outreach.”

“The number of new projects and initiatives happening in Burnaby’s major centres is almost overwhelming,” remarked Burnaby Board of Trade Chief Executive Paul Holden. “It’s no wonder that the rest of Canada looks to our city as a model for planning and sustainability and management. This is exactly why our business community enjoys Burnaby so much for working and doing business, and this is why we have continued to succeed while so much of the rest of the world struggles in the global economy.”

The State of the City address was presented by Simon Fraser University and Telus, and sponsored by ABC Recycling, Encorp Pacific, the Burnaby Now, and SW Audio Visual. !

To conclude the afternoon, attendees were treated to a keynote discussion with Vancity CEO Tamara Vrooman and Sustainability Expert Coro Strandberg, who spoke about the leadership role businesses can take in the area of sustainability.

“Hearing from Tamara and Coro was a unique opportunity for attendees to

better understand the business case for environmental sustainability,” commented Burnaby Board of Trade President and CEO Paul Holden. “Vancity is an excellent role model for corporate social responsibility – they do the right things and because of that they are extremely successful.”

//G: .699E #$ =#>JH$&J$C I#H =HJ6CJH ?A9& 7$"@ECH% <@!!#HC =#>JH$&J$C 1(6HJ$JEE 2JJ; May 20-24, 2013 is Local Government Awareness Week in B.C. This week helps you ‘get to know’ your local government, and to learn more about the many programs and services that the City of Burnaby provides.

This year, the theme is ‘Support Burnaby Business’ to highlight the role the City plays in economic development and to celebrate the many excellent businesses that call Burnaby home.

Burnaby is also lucky to be home to the dynamic Burnaby Board of Trade, and to active business associations, including the Heights Merchants Association and the North Road Business Association. To find out how you can get involved in supporting Burnaby business, visit the City of Burnaby website. !

In recent years, governments in other jurisdictions have created film and television industry tax policies which are now drawing productions away from BC. Despite BC’s various natural advantages, the local film and television industry is now at risk due to the increasingly aggressive tax policies in these other jurisdictions. In recognition of this, and the importance of the film and television industry to the strength of the BC and Burnaby economies, the Burnaby Board of Trade is calling on government to increase its support of film and television production in BC by helping the industry regain its tax competitiveness.

In its Economic Development Strategy (EDS) 2020, the City of Burnaby identifies film and television as a key economic sector. As the economic development agency of the City, the Burnaby Board of Trade recognized the risk facing the local film and television industry and the potential implications of a deterioration of the industry, and drafted a statement of support outlining the economic benefit the industry provides to BC and to Burnaby. “The Burnaby Board of Trade is the voice of our local business community, and with 62% of the Lower Mainland’s studio space located here in Burnaby, we are keenly interested in the strength of the film and television industry, both here in Burnaby and across British Columbia,” states Paul Holden, Burnaby Board of Trade President & CEO.

In BC last year, the industry created over 25,000 jobs and generated over $1.2 billion in direct production spending, much of it flowing into the BC economy from outside of the province, as well as countless more in spin-off and tertiary economic spending.

The impact of the film and television industry on Burnaby’s economy specifically is equally dramatic. In 2012, the film and television industry generated over $400 million in spending for the Burnaby economy, directly supporting dozens of local businesses and creating 2500 local, well-paying jobs. In addition, the City of Burnaby earned $2.3 million through permits, property taxes, services, and rental fees and the local school district benefitted from nearly $50,000 in fees paid for the rental of school facilities by the industry, further underscoring the importance of this industry to Burnaby’s economic vitality.

In addition to the substantial spending the industry contributes to

BC’s economy, the film and television industry is also a driver of economic innovation and diversification. “The film and television industry is able to attract top talent from across North America to relocate and work here in BC,” says Holden. “Having that caliber of people working here in BC will help create the environment of innovation and creativity that will create all sorts of spin-off benefits down the road. For all of these reasons, the Burnaby Board of Trade is calling on government to help support the competitiveness of our film and television industry.” !

Road salt runoff an invisible water pollutant practice and it’s a cheap solution to an icy problem.

If you haven’t already guessed, I’m talking about road salt.

We blame road salt for ruining our cars well before their time, wrecking our roads and even ruining our pant cuffs. Blame the salt all you like, but it doesn’t end up on the road all on its own.

You’re probably thinking we’re not talking about much salt to keep the roads clear, just so we can drive to the pizza joint in the middle of a storm when we shouldn’t be out at all. Not so fast.

Hunting around on the Internet I came up with a small, but eye-opening number. It’s not uncommon to read that highsnow areas dump, on average, as much as 19 tonnes of salt on 1.6 kilometres of highway lane per winter.

That number is startling, simply because you can’t see it piled up on the side of the road … because it’s leaching into our pre-

FULL THROTTLE Courtney Hansen

W

hen you think of pollution and cars, what do you think of? Probably the stuff that comes out the tailpipe, like carbon dioxide.

Of course it’s much broader than that. The endless rows of rusted cars in junkyards, the oil and gas leaching into the ground, oil spills, and the earth’s natural resources used to build cars.

But what if you were to learn that each year local governments all over Canada, the supposed defenders of the environment, dump millions of tonnes of pollution on the road every winter, perhaps for no other reason than because it’s accepted

cious ground water as the snow melts.

Do a little research and you’ll find all sorts of road-salt studies on damage to plants, wildlife and water, dating back 20 years in some cases. And then there’s the decay of our vehicles and the premature repair to roadways due to salt use. It’s tough to put all that into dollars and cents, especially when considering the environment, but that’s the only tangible thing that government money managers deal with: the budgeting process. Road salt, all by itself, without considering the cost of the damage it does, is cheap and plentiful.

But if we’ve known that road salt is a problem for decades, why are we still using it? Science can put 10,000 songs on a device the size of a pack of gum and develop computer software to prevent a vehicle from rolling over, but it can’t make a better road salt?

Actually, it can, and has, but one report of many I reviewed puts the cost at 10 to 15 times as much as road salt.

But, really, is that so bad if, by its use, we can reduce environmental, vehicular and transportation infrastructure damage that likely costs us billions of dollars per year to fix?

Isn’t looking only at the price of road salt tragically short-sighted? And cost aside, isn’t it just wrong to dump a known pollutant into the environment in that volume?

Yes, no doubt, but advocates would say it’s a small price to pay to save drivers’ lives. And maybe, just maybe, we turn a blind eye because without it we seemingly wouldn’t be able to travel in the on-demand style to which we’ve become accustomed.

Whatever happened to staying off the road when it becomes icy?

Maybe the bigger question is, how can we change? In my view, local

government needs to be subsidized by those who would directly benefit from the cost savings of road salt’s replacement: we, the taxpayers.

Before you get out your poison pens (or keyboards), we taxpayers have actually already paid some of the money.

Instead of governments spending it on road damage/maintenance due to salt (such as rebuilding concrete bridge decks) and the purchase of salt itself, governments would spend it on the new-andimproved road de-icer, which would presumably become less expensive over time with increased volume.

That’s offset by what we would pay ourselves for being able to keep our vehicles longer, with fewer repairs and increased resale values.

To put it into perspective, if we use nine million tonnes of new-style road de-icer per year (which would match our average

salt usage per year, according to an older report that cites the National Research Council) at an estimated price of $500/ton (road salt appears to run about $30 per ton), that’s $5 billion plus the costs of converting to the new de-icer (trucks, storage, etc).

It seems like a lot, and it is, but consider that we pay nearly five times that amount ($24 billion, according to the International Carwash Association) on “battling automobile corrosion damage” and the issue of cost seems easily solvable … once we can see the big picture and the payoff that comes with it.

And that’s just scratching the surface since we haven’t talked about reduced damage to road infrastructure and bridges.

There’s no question that we need to keep our roads clear of ice and snow for safety’s sake, but there appear to be newer and better ways than with road salt.

ALL-NEW 2013 RAM 1500

Modern tap dancing is no longer just about bow ties and jazz hands on Broadway.

Just ask Burnaby-based dancer Danny Nielsen.

Wearing a ball cap, tank top and gold necklace, he looks more hip hop than tap, but when he gets moving, it’s easy to see how his chosen art form has evolved to encompass a wide variety of fashion and musical styles.

“The thing is, people think when you say tap dance that it’s all this lahde-dah thing, and I’m like, no, it’s modern, it’s happening, it’s with the times,” he says, taking a break from rehearsing in the studio at the Vancouver Tap Dance Society. Whether he’s improvising to Radiohead singles, busking on the street in jeans and a shirt, or dressed to the nines on stage with a live band, Nielsen works his own personal style of sound and movement into his work.

Tap: Dancers are musicians continued from page 25

Nielsen discovered tap dance by accident when he was eight years old. His older sister was taking a class and he had to wait for her at the studio. One day he decided that, rather than be bored, he’d jump in and try a few shuffle-ball-steps, and he hasn’t stopped tapping since.

In his teens, Nielsen saw footage of legendary tap dancers Gregory Hines, the Nicholas Brothers and Savion Glover, and left studio training to pursue their “hoofing” style – focusing more on the footwork and rhythm created by the beats than the arm movement found in “show tap.”

Today the 25-year-old is an award-winning freelance artist who last year won the Dance Centre’s Santa Aloi Award, which offered a $4,500 prize to help develop a full-length tap piece. His perfor-

mances have included the famous tap sequence at the 2010 Olympic opening ceremony in Vancouver, as well as shows in Germany, Switzerland, Brazil and the U.S. His most unusual performance, though, will be later this month, in a mine.

Co-produced by Astrolabe Musik Theatre and the Britannia Mine Museum, the NEWmatica live show will bring together musicians and tap dancers to show off the percussion created by the steel beams and girders, round wooden platforms, concrete floors, and found objects inside the Britannia Mine’s 26-storey mill.

Many people might not think of a tap dancer as primarily a percussionist, but Nielsen says the sound he makes is more important than the imagery he creates through his movements.

“It’s really music at the end of the day,” he says.

“We are essentially musicians, so we need to have a wood floor. We need to have proper amplification to be heard. … that’s part of our expression.

We could dance and they could go, ‘wow, his feet are moving really fast,’ but they can’t understand what we’re saying unless we’re properly heard.”

Performing with Nielsen will be tap dancer Dayna Szyndrowski, musicians Fringe Percussion and soprano Heather Pawsey, and members of the public who participated in a series of workshops with Astrolabe Musik Theatre.

The show will be held Saturday, May 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Britannia Mine Museum at 1 Forbes Way, Britannia, on the Sea-ToSky Highway. Tickets are $25 for adults, $18 for seniors and students. For tickets or more information, visit www.astrolabe musiktheatre.com.

Best days ahead for young Lakers

Women win sixth rugby title

Heavy right side may pose problems on attack Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers are a little bit older, hopefully a little wiser, but almost assuredly the men in green and gold will be a whole lot better when the Western Lacrosse Association season opener kicks off on Friday.

Gone are the down days, when the 2009 senior A Lakers finished deadlast in the summer league with just two wins to rub together.

Since then, beginning with success in the subsequent junior drafts, Burnaby is a team waiting to come into its own.

With top draft picks and Burnaby’s top scorers last season, Dane Stevens, Scott Jones, Casey Jackson and Colton Clark, all expected back, expectations are high that this just might be the year for a quantum leap up the WLA table.

With two first-round righthanders, Robert Church from Coquitlam, who had a 100-plus season in his rookie year of junior, and big New Westminster sniper Tyler Digby, also joining the roster in 2013 – that’s a lot of firepower up front.

“I think this group is still young, but one year makes a lot of difference,” said former Laker lefthander and new head coach Rory

mer Laker defender Rory Graham to assist him with the defence this season.

Last year, Burnaby underachieved on the power play, scoring just 35 times on 114 opportunities.

The Lakers were much more successful on the penalty kill, allowing a near-league low 33 goals

The women remained the flagship of the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club earning a sixth provincial title at the B.C. Rugby championships in Victoria on Saturday.

The Laker women took the game to their Vancouver Island hosts in the opening half and held on to defeat the defending Gordon Harris Memorial Cup champion Velox Valkyries 17-13 in the women’s premier final.

It was the fourth final for Burnaby Lake against Velox and third in a row.

“Two years ago, we stole one on the last play. Last year, we lost by six and this year, it was really a onepoint game,” said women’s team coach Walt Brandl.

Abby Goodwin scored a first-half try for the winners and Julia Sugawara booted three penalties to give the visitors a 14-3 lead at the interval.

But in a game that became a battle of halves, Velox rallied in the latter period, scoring tries from captain Brittany Sims and fullback Selina McGinnis.

With Burnaby Lake on the defensive, the fivetime women’s champions played a man down after

McDade, who took over from Bob Johnston in the off season. “We’re looking forward to see who jumps up and can make the jump to the next level.”

That jump will not just be expected from the offensive zone players. With the goaltending tandem of Dan Lewis and veteran Joe Bell back between the pipes, the Lakers are rock solid where it counts.

Burnaby lost Chris Manwaring to work commitments this season, but with NLL pros Matt Beers, Pete McFetridge and Justin Salt back leading the way up the floor, and captain Bryan Safarik and Mike Brascia manning the back end – the Lakers are servicable in the defensive zone as well.

No-shows this season include Trevor Moore, due

to work commitments, and Mat Quinton, who is staying in Calgary this summer.

But with an overabundance of righthanders on the roster, McDade said this year’s Lakers will have to be innovative.

“We’ll have to adjust our strategy. … and some guys might have to adjust their roles,” added McDade, who enlisted for-

Three-province Minto Cup days done in 2014 Tom Berridge sports editor

The Canadian Lacrosse Association announced the return to the popular best-of-seven East versus West playoff format for the Minto Cup in 2014.

A standing committee of the CLA and the Minto Cup committee recently came to an agreement that will see the junior A champions from B.C. and Alberta play off in a best-of-five series, with the winner moving on to take on the champion from the east in a best-of-seven affair at the Minto

Cup national championships.

“We recognize that now is a time for change – 10 years ago change was set in motion that brought the Minto Cup to a new level, adding a third member association into the competition; today, we accept change once again,” Joey Harris, CLA president said in an association press release. “The Minto Cup championship showcases the best of what our sport has to offer – but we have seen that the four-team format has not been the best format for those currently involved, and also to those that may want

to get involved in the future at this level.”

“I like the idea of a seven-game series. Some of the great Minto Cups from the past were seven games,” said New Westminster head coach and former Burnaby Cablevision Minto star Dan Perreault. “I like the format, and for the fans there’s nothing better than a good, tight seven-game series. You want to draw fans, and that’s the best way to do it. I think it’s a good decision. I think it’s great for lacrosse.”

Under the new format, B.C. will host the first seven-game

series, while Ontario will return the favour in 2015. In order to continue to grow the game and expose growing markets to the elite level of junior lacrosse in Canada, the 2016 Minto Cup will be played in Alberta, the release stated. The Western finals will also take place in Alberta prior to the start of the Minto playoffs.

In other Minto Cup news, New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena will be the venue for the this year’s national championship.

Hosted by the British Columbia Lacrosse Association and the

B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League, the Canadian junior A national championship will operate in its current four-team format.

The top two teams from B.C. will earn berths into this year’s Minto. The host club will not receive an automatic berth.

The championship will start with round-robin play on Saturday, Aug. 17 at Queen’s Park Arena.

After four days of round-robin play, the championship round will begin with the final two teams competing for the coveted title in a best-of-five playoff series.

The Lakers also had a mediocre 4-4-1 record – one of the worst in the league on home floor.

What was partly at fault was Burnaby’s inconsistent showing in its season series with bottom-finishing clubs Nanaimo Timbermen and Maple Ridge Burrards.

Canadians win women’s B Cup The Burnaby Canadians gutted out a 2-1 win over Gorge FC to win the B.C. Soccer Provincial B Cup in Victoria on Saturday.

Playing with just 13 players, the Canadians needed every single player to pull out the win in front of a Vancouver Island crowd of approximately 400 partisan fans.

Jennifer Morrison opened the scoring for Burnaby in the first five minutes, but had to leave the game directly after with a hamstring pull.

Gorge knotted the score in the 43rd minute, but player-of-the-match Kate Seguin got the game-winner 22 minutes later.

With two more players lost to injury and the team’s first red-card infraction in seven seasons, Burnaby

This season, Lawrence hit .300 and had a .550 slugging percentage, leading the conference and placing eight in the nation with six triples. He also had four home runs and 23 runs batted in.

Canada’s men’s national field hockey team placed third at Round 2 of the World League international competition in St. Germain, France on Sunday.

Canada, including Burnaby’s Gabriel Ho-Garcia and Matthew Bissett of New Westminster, missed a chance for an automatic qualifying berth into the semifinals following a 3-2 loss to their hosts in the final game of the round-robin, won by Belgium.

The Canadians finished with a 3-2 record in the competition, with wins over Scotland, Portugal and Poland.

David Jameson opened the scoring in the fifth minute off a rebound for the Maple Leaf. Team captain Scott Tupper made it 2-0 on a penalty corner later in the first half.

A battle: The Burnaby Lake premier women’s rugby team, seen with ball in semifinal win over United, outlasted Velox 17-13 to win a sixth provincial title on Saturday.

Rugby: Men’s teams lose to Island continued from page 29

Maria Gallo was shown the sidelines with a yellow card.

But despite being a player down, Burnaby Lake proved resilient, managing a rally of its own, which led to a fourth three-point penalty by Sugawara at full time.

The difference was experience, said Brandl.

“We’ve got more players who have been there,” he said. “Even when (Maria) Gallo got carded, no one was wringing their hands.

“The technical stuff you teach, but that stuff you don’t teach. They’re mentally tough – the leadership group is rock solid.”

“We targeted beating them to the ball. It’s our style of play,” added Sugawara in a B.C. Rugby press release.

The Burnaby Lake men’s team was less fortunate, losing the men’s premiership final 18-10 to James Bay. The Victoria powerhouse put together an effective game plan, using its veteran forward pack to keep the ball out of the hands of Burnaby Lake’s dangerous backfield.

In the end, James Bay wrestled its 23rd-ever Rounsefeld Cup away from the Lower Mainland challenger.

“At the end of the day, James Bay was beat up, but they paid the price,” said Brandl.

Burnaby’s Joe Dolesau scored first, finishing off a Ryan McHollister attack.

But the James Bay forwards began to find their rhythm and tied it up 5-5 just before half time.

In the second half, the

Victoria side built up an 18-5 lead before Dolesau touched down with a second late five-pointer.

In the division 1 final, Burnaby Lake had a 12game win streak stopped, missing a chance for a second men’s title following a 35-25 loss to the University of Victoria in the Ceili’s Cup, also played Saturday.

The Burnaby team led 15-10 at the half and appeared to have the game in control, but two late tries on long runs to the outside

by Luke McCluskey and Kapi Vataiki gave the provincial title to the home side.

Burnaby Lake was led by captain and second-row forward Alec Douglas, who scored two tries. Anare Tuidraki also scored a try for Burnaby. Flyhalf Nolan Shelley kicked 10 points for for the Lakers.

North wins junior high school rugby banner A pushover try following a lineout by forward Michael Unger proved the difference for the Burnaby North Vikings in a 17-7 win over Moscrop in the BurWest high school district junior boys’ rugby championships at Burnaby Lake-East last Thursday.

Trailing 10-0 late in the second half, Moscrop finally managed a reply on a 10-

metre run and touch down between the posts by Andrew Jones to close the deficit to three points. But North countered with a drive of its own, culminatiing in a backline score by Brian Kim. Xavier Tintinger converted the try from near the sidelines.

Matt Yurechko opened the scoring for North after the junior Vikings held off a stern first-half challenge by Moscrop.
