Quebec tragedy sparks debate

What’s in the soil?

Kinder Morgan testing soil by local elementary school Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Stefania Seccia staff reporter

As the small town of Lac-Megantic is recovering from the devastation caused by a derailed train exploding and killing more than 40 people, the tragedy has brought safety issues around railways to the forefront in Burnaby.

At a recent city council meeting, Coun. Nick Volkow asked staff to prepare a report that looks into the type of hazardous materials passing through Burnaby and what warnings are provided, if any, when they do.

Volkow noted a “28,000 per cent increase” in the volume of oil transported by rail in the last four years.

“Basically, (Transport Canada) is washing their hands of regulating railroads and turning it into a self-regulatory regime, which I think is dangerous for all of us,” he told the Burnaby NOW. “For one thing, I’m getting the first responders, the fire department in particular, to outline the history in their dealing with railroads over the years on various issues. I want a serious report done on this – not some whitewashing of the issue.”

Following the report, Volkow hopes it will answer his questions and provide background information, as he intends to meet with representatives of the federal regulating authority.

“I’m not going to knock the railways,” he added. “The railways are

Kinder Morgan is collecting soil samples by the Trans Mountain pipeline right-of-way, close to Stoney Creek Community School, testing for hydrocarbons at the request of the Burnaby school district.

The testing started Monday, July 15, and the results won’t be ready for several weeks. Trans Mountain’s Lisa Clement said the results will be provided to the school board, but it’s not clear if they will be available to the public.

Clement said the testing is taking place on the Trans Mountain right-ofway, northeast of Stoney Creek Community School on Beaverbook Crescent.

School district communications manager Jodie Wilson said there were no specific concerns that prompted the testing and that the district is pleased that Kinder Morgan is following up with the request.

Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline has been running oil from Alberta to the West Coast since the early 1950s.

Animal activists target Burnaby pet store Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

While the debate on banning pet sales in Burnaby heats up, animal activists are taking aim at Pet Habitat, a Metrotown pet shop that sells puppies and kittens.

Kat Chapman, a Burnaby mom and animal lover, has started a closed Facebook group calling for Pet Habitat to stop selling animals, and so far more than 350 people have joined.

“They are supporting puppy mills, they are selling sick animals (that) are living in cramped quarters,” Chapman said.

Another group member, Steven Padley, has started a petition proposing Pet Habitat stop selling pets, and more than 700 people have signed so far.

There are only two stores in Burnaby that sell puppies and kittens: Pet Habitat at Metrotown and King Ed Pet Centre.

Both store owners have told the NOW they do not sell animals from mills, which are usually defined as breeding facilities that put profits above animal welfare.

Pet Habitat owner Tom Peters said he thinks Chapman’s campaign stems from her experience as a disgruntled customer.

Peters also said a veterinarian visits the store every two weeks, and staff regularly clean up after the animals.

Peters attributed the number of people supporting the campaign as an accumulation of media affecting people’s decisionmaking processes.

“Everybody wants the best thing for the animals, that’s the number 1 thing. People want to show their support. As long as they know what the real things are, that’s great. (But) one person does something wrong, and they are representative of the entire industry,” he said.

Animal advocates have also been pushing the City of Burnaby to adopt a ban on the sale of puppies, kittens and rabbits.

In a previous interview with the NOW, Peters reiterated that he does not get his kittens from mills; they come from a town in northern Quebec that has an inadequate shelter system. The puppies come from

“We are not getting from puppy mills,” Peters said, adding that Pet Habitat does its own research to make sure they only buy Hunte puppies from breeders that don’t have any problems.

“We do Internet research to see if there’s anything bad about them,” he said. “We have our own blacklist of breeders.”

Peters also said he’s approached animal rescue groups about selling rescued kittens in his shop but that they don’t want to work with him because he sells puppies.

B.C. SPCA spokeswoman Marcie Moriarty said they can’t comment on what they found because the investigation is ongoing. “What I can say is an (animal

care) order was issued and has been complied with, and there has been a veterinarian involved in the file,” Moriarty said.

Chapman also says there’s a peaceful protest against Pet Habitat in the works, but there’s no date set yet, and she plans to connect with local MP Peter Julian to get help with her campaign.

“We’re all animal activists,” she said.

“We don’t go away, we work until things are finished,” she said. “Little puppies need to be out, running around and cuddled, not living in a tank.”

Local MLA brings light industry issue to forefront Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Light industry sector businesses hit hard with higher taxes this year have had their voices heard at the provincial level.

Recently, Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan brought up the issue in her response to the budget speech last week in the legislature.

As the Burnaby NOW previously reported, the province is rolling back its school tax credits

for the light industry sector over the next two years and subsequently those businesses in the city are feeling the squeeze – some are already reportedly paying tens of thousands of dollars more than last year.

“I think the tax is going to largely hurt small business, it’s largely small businesses in the light industry class,” Corrigan told the NOW from her office in Victoria.

Corrigan said the province is approaching this issue in “HST

style.”

“The other thing is I think the timing is really interesting in that this was put into place in February without, certainly to no fanfare,” she said.

“Small businesses were not aware of it. They were shocked to find out that this was happening.”

Corrigan said she also brought up the issue earlier this week and intends to talk to the affected businesses in her community to bring the issue more into the

forefront.

“I think it’s really unfortunate and will really hurt small businesses in our community and throughout the province,” she said.

“Small businesses generally operate on a pretty tight margin when you have an increase over the two years. … It’s a really significant tax grab, and I think it’s partly because the B.C. government made unrealistic promises of a balanced budget.”

of finance, Michael de Jong, reviewed the tax policy in budget 2013 and first announced in February that the light industry school tax credit would be phased out over two years beginning this year.

The phase-out is expected to provide additional revenues of $32 million in 2013/14 and about $55 million every year after.

Care home benefits from fundraising efforts Stefania Seccia staff reporter

There are some big bathtubs ready to get filled in Burnaby, thanks to community support of the “tub room” fundraising campaign.

St. Michael’s Centre celebrated the completion of an extensive bathroom renovation project on July 17, made possible by fundraising done by the Tapestry Foundation for Health Care. About 100 family members, staff, friends and donors turned out to commemorate the event.

“We’re very grateful to the Burnaby community for generously responding to our first fundraising project at St. Michael’s Centre,” said Ann Adams, Tapestry’s CEO. “We know that the centre holds many fond memories for Burnaby families whose loved ones were cared for in this facility, and we have been deeply encouraged by their continued support.”

The foundation’s campaign started last December to raise funds for renovations and upgrades to three bathing rooms that

had deteriorated after 20 years of extensive use. The tubs were outdated, some no longer functioning, which limited the residents’ access to baths.

Through initial funding from Fraser Health, and donations from Burnaby businesses, individuals and service groups, the foundation completed funding for two of the tub rooms.

“The community really came together in Burnaby to support this campaign and our staff,” said Blake Armstrong, St. Michael’s senior operations leader.

Armstrong said a former resident’s family came out and contributed $25,000 for the tub campaign because their mother had said she wanted to leave something behind for St. Michael’s after receiving hospice care.

“It kick started the whole thing,” Armstrong said about the Burnaby family’s donation. “It was a real focus, a rally point for everyone to come together and begin, and from that, we raised money through various sources, getting

Armstrong said the foundation is short $15,000 to renovate the third tub room.

“Right now, completing these three bathing areas is very tough,” he said. “Next on the list, is being able to provide Tapestry with a wish list … one being a family kitchen dining area, which we have right now – but it’s 30 years old and in need of complete renovation. It’s an opportunity for families to come in, cook dinner (and) lunch with residents.”

OUR VIEW

B.C. once again has the distinction of being the worst in the country when it comes to child poverty.

According to recently released figures from Statistics Canada, B.C. is tied with Manitoba for last spot with a child poverty rate that rose from 10.5 per cent in 2010 to 11.3 per cent in 2011. That means 93,000 children living in poverty – up from 87,000 in 2010. For children with lone-parent mothers, the poverty rate jumped from 16.4 per cent to 24.6 per cent, or 27,000 children.

Those numbers are nothing short of distressing.

Thanks to First Call: B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition for leading the charge to demand action from government. Let’s all add our voices to that call and make sure the message is heard.

So go ahead and be excited about the new royal arrival. But let’s face it, the little prince will want for nothing. In the excitement over his arrival, let’s try not to forget about our own neighbours who aren’t so lucky.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Future is bright for B.C. film Dear Editor:

In response to George Heyman’s July 12 letter (Libs need to act on film industry), I want to assure the B.C. film industry that I share their concerns and am working diligently to ensure we remain competitive. The B.C. Liberal government has increased labour tax credits three times since 2004, from 11 per cent under the NDP to 33 per cent today. For Canadian controlled production companies, the rate is 35 per cent. This year, $378 million in tax credits have been earmarked to help the industry.

effects work. In 2010, our government added the B.C. Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit to help businesses that develop interactive digital media products.

Tax credits are only one factor that companies use to decide where to base their productions. This is why we’re listening to the industry to keep B.C. at the forefront of film production.

In January 2013, we launched B.C. Creative Futures, a three-part strategy to support sustainable, long-term success for the creative sector. Included in this strategy is Creative B.C., an independent onestop shop for B.C. government-funded services to the creative industries, including administration of tax credits. The B.C.

Over the next couple of weeks, my government and I will sit down with film industry leaders to seek ways to continue to meet the needs of this very important sector.

Approximately 25,000 British Columbians work in the industry, and I’m very optimistic that the future is bright for B.C. film.

Deer Lake parking closures made no sense

Dear Editor:

I noticed a lot of public parking spaces at Deer Lake were closed during the evening of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s wonderful Symphony in the Park.

As I drove by, I saw that dozens and dozens of cars along the side of the road, just next to these spaces, had parking tick-

ets. I still can not think of any logical reason for closing parking off on a day when it would be most needed.

The website of the city only says: “Just a reminder that parking in the vicinity is limited, so alternate transportation is recommended.” No justification or explanation.

It was prohibited, not limited. The way to encourage people to take transit, by the way, is to improve transit services, not to punish people for driving.

You might as well tear up the lots and plant some trees and gardens as well, while you are at it.

There is a thin line between symbolism and incompetence.

He’s certainly earned some media coverage with this latest strategy, although not nearly as much as he got back in the spring over the same issue. But the B.C. Liberals are definitely not reacting the same way as they did back then, as Clark’s leadership problems have completely evaporated and the caucus’ gloom has been replaced with euphoria over the prospect of at least four more years in power.

The other reality is that we are in midsummer, and I suspect the public has pretty well tuned out politicians of all stripes and will remain tuned out until after Labour Day. So, do political scandals really matter?

In this case, the key question is will this latest

Burnaby should adopt ‘assessment averaging’

Another Hole-In-One!

Re: Tax not province’s fault, Letters to the editor, July 10.

Mr. Evans is right. The City of Burnaby can do something to reduce city property taxes. Vancouver for years has “assessment averaging.”

Burnaby doesn’t have assessment averaging.

I have been told that city council has the ability to adopt the “assessment averaging” model. Burnaby’s taxes would be lower if we had “assessment averaging.”

The Canada Safeway Foundation is committed to supporting initiatives that feed, protect and nurture children and families in Western Canada.

In addition, the Foundation champions company-wide causes such as: breast cancer research, prostate cancer research, support for families living with disabilities, nutrition education and disaster relief in times of crisis.

NDP: Dix faces tough road continued from page 6

12TH ANNUAL

turn on the ethnic memo scandal matter to the NDP members who will vote in November on whether to hold a leadership contest.

Will they be impressed

by Dix’s performance in the legislature? Or have they also tuned him out, and no matter how effective his criticism is of the B.C. Liberals in this matter, aren’t willing to forgive him for seemingly fumbling the ball on the election’s goal line?

The NDP lost the election largely because it wasn’t trusted on economic issues, and the scandals that plagued the B.C. Liberals for years turned out not to matter much with voters.

But for the sake of his leadership, Dix had better hope that political scandals do matter, at least to those who hold the future

of his leadership in their hands.

Any doubts the NDP remains closely linked to organized labour have been dispelled by the makeup of the panel that will review the party’s election loss. Four of the five members are from the labour movement, and perhaps more tellingly, they are from the public sector union side.

For a party that supposedly prides itself on diversity, it’s odd it would select such a narrowly defined group of people to analyze the most disastrous election result in its history. Or perhaps it’s not so odd, and simply reflects the fact that public sector unions are the dominant force within the party.

Railways: ‘Imagine an equivalent catastrophe here, with 2,200 people’ continued from page 1

doing exactly what they’re entitled to do. The issue is, I think, that some of the things they’re entitled to do are inappropriate.”

In Quebec, about one per cent of Lac-Megantic’s citizens were killed by the explosion, and about 12 people are still missing.

“One per cent of the population of Burnaby, is what, about 2,200 people?”

Volkow noted. “Imagine an equivalent catastrophe here, with 2,200 people. What do you think we’d be saying then?”

Tom Gunton, a professor in Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management, said the basic problem is that crude oil transported by rail cars has increased dramatically, compared to five or six years ago when there was almost no shipment of crude oil by rail.

“Now it’s become significant,” he said. “It continues to grow in size of oil pipelines, but where an oil pipeline has comprehensive regulatory processes they’re required to go through to get approval to build pipelines, according to the National Energy Board Act, … there’s an extensive review process, public consultation and all that, and increased shipments by railway don’t require (that). There’s no impact assessment process, no public consultation process.”

Essentially, the creation of pipelines on railways

without any kind of regulation oversight is what’s happening, Gunton said.

The other issue is that enforcement, regulation approval processes and compensation for when an incident does occur are lacking, he added.

Gunton noted that rail cars are prone to puncture in 75 per cent of tanker cars used to ship oil, and because of the weak regulations, companies do not have to replace weaker tanker cars with new and improved ones.

“What needs to happen, is people need to lobby the government and demand the federal government do a comprehensive review, open to public process,” Gunton said.

Meanwhile, Burnaby resident Art Quan said he’s concerned Chevron’s Burnaby refinery will further rely on rail and truck movements, now that the National Energy Board turned down the company’s bid for prioritized access to oil by pipeline.

Quan is part of the community advisory panel for Chevron’s North Burnaby refinery. The group has been lobbying the city for a web-based localized system that would notify residents near the refinery of an emergency.

“Certainly, incidents of a serious nature do occur, and when they do, I think it’s certainly prudent for the city to have a planned response where they would be able to rapidly notify the citizens of

Burnaby,” he said.

Chevron’s Burnaby refinery is willing to assist with funding such a system, according to the refinery’s spokesperson, Ray Lord.

The refinery currently receives eight to 10 rail cars a day, with about 6,500 barrels of oil, Lord said.

“All of us at Chevron extend our thoughts and sympathies to those affected by the tragedy in LacMegantic, Quebec,” Lord said. “However, that event was the result of a tragic accident – a runaway train – and is not reflective of the daily crude delivery operations at the Burnaby refinery.”

Lord said the tanker cars have been brought in and out of the refinery’s new offloading facility since May in a controlled switch-

ing operation, which takes place at low speeds.

“By its very nature, the refinery maintains a high level of preparedness for emergency response,” he said. “Our new offloading

facility has been designed and engineered to current safety standards.”

Lord also noted that hazardous goods are transported across the country every day.

‘Sensible B.C.’ campaign arrives in Burnaby staff reporter

With almost one month to go before the Sensible B.C. petition campaign kicks off, organizers of the movement to decriminalize marijuana are touring the province gathering volunteers, and they’ll be in Burnaby this Friday.

Elections B.C. gave the go-ahead to Dana Larsen, founder of the Sensible B.C. campaign, to petition for a referendum to decriminalize marijuana. The referendum would amend the province’s Police Act to prohibit police officers from arresting people in possession of marijuana.

“We’ll need a few thousand hard-working volunteer canvassers to collect the roughly 400,000 signatures required,” Larsen said in a press release.

“Anyone who wants to help out and become a canvasser should come to our events or visit our website.”

Larsen and the Sensible B.C. campaign are travelling around the province gathering these volunteers.

They’ll be in Burnaby on July 26 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Soil: Tests being run

at the McGill Library, 4595 Albert St. “Our polling shows over 70 per cent support in B.C. for the provisions of

the Sensible Policing Act,” Larsen said. “The question for us is, are there enough British Columbians who feel passionately about

Act – would take place in September of 2014, but that’s only if the petition collects signatures from 10 per cent of registered vot-

this issue for us to find the many canvassers and volunteers we need?”

According to Kinder Morgan, the pipeline’s right-of-way runs through two elementary school district properties: Stoney Creek and Forest Grove.

The right-of-way is adjacent to the school grounds, and at Stoney Creek, it runs out front of the school under a community garden. The pipeline does not run beneath any school buildings, as construction above the line is forbidden.

Kinder Morgan wants to twin the existing line, nearly tripling capacity, but so far the company has put forward routing options that do not follow the existing right-of-way close to the elementary schools.

Author launches book

A Burnaby author has just launched her newest book for children.

Mary Barr’s new book, The Sturgeon General and The Catfish, is aimed at the seven- to 10-year-old set.

Barr was out at the Arnold Mikelson Festival of the Arts in Surrey over the weekend (July 20 and 21), signing books and offering up other works of art, including pastels and jewelry.

Here’s a snippet about the book from a press release: “Catfish was the only catfish who was taken to the secret part of the ocean, where she’d enjoyed an easy fun life for so long. But now, she needed her Momma Cat, because Momma Cat is the only one able to teach her the ‘catfish dance’ and without it she can’t hope to find a husband. Catfish knows she must learn the dance soon before her skin loses its shine and her whiskers grow droopy.”

Barr writes from juvenile, young adult and adult audiences in a variety of genres.

Burnaby NOW reporter Marelle Reid recently chatted with Shakura S’Aida about her career and upcoming performance at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival Question: How do you pronounce your name?

Answer: Sha-koora, or if you’re Arabic, then it’s Shakr’a. Shakura means “thank you,” S’Aida means “happy” and together it means “thanks be to the one who made us happy” or “feeling grateful.”

Q: Where are you from?

A: I was born in New York and we were there till I was probably seven or eight, and then moved to Toronto and then we moved away to Switzerland for about three-and-a-half years and then we came back to Toronto. I am American, but I am Canadian for all intents and purposes.

Q: Have you been to Vancouver before?

A: I have, yes. I love it out there. I find I love B.C., period. I don’t think it’s underrated, I think people really do appreciate it and understand how beautiful it is, but I think that more of the people out East, you know, on this side, need to go out and just appreciate it. It’s gorgeous.

Q: How did you get into blues music?

A: Basically, I started singing in church and I then started doing these coffee house poetry things, poetry readings. I would do spoken word, and then I would sing and I would sing gospel songs. I found, or I felt, that the audience wasn’t necessarily comfortable with the choices I was making.

And at the same time I was going to jams.

I got involved with a band called Mystique and I learned a couple of blues songs, and what I realized is that when you sing blues and you sing, “Lord, help me,” nobody had a problem with it. In fact, they yelled out, “yeah, yeah,” but if I sang like, “Jesus on the mainline,” people were like, “hey,” and there was this bit of uncomfortableness that was happening. So, I switched to blues and really got immersed in it and really started listening to a lot of different people, including my favourite, Etta James, who a lot of people don’t actually think of as a blues artist, but I certainly do. And it went from there.

Q: How old were you when you started singing?

A: I have no idea. My mother said I’ve been singing all of my life, but I don’t remember that. We lived in townhouses when I was a teenager in Toronto on the beaches, and when I would get mad at my parents I would sneak out of my sister’s balcony and I would climb over the rooftop to my next-door neighbour’s house and I would go into his place because he had a record player and all this music, and I would sit in his room and listen to music while my parents thought I was in my room sulking. And I would sing along – I’d put the headphones on and they would come along and say, “OK, you have to sing a little bit quieter.” So, I do think I was

at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival. S’Aida got her start singing scan in church. with using music as therapy at quite an early age and singing along with music, but I really don’t know when I started singing.

Music has always been a part of me.

Q: You’re also into acting as well as singing. Is that a parallel career?

A: As far as I know, I was acting first.

I started acting in high school, and it was my theatre arts teacher that told me that I should sing, because I would always be an actor, but I should sing – she really loved my voice and thought it was something that I should pursue and I loved this theatre arts teacher so much. I think she was my first mentor. What she said became gold. … I continued to act, and up until recently, I was very involved in the acting world in Toronto, but it becomes very difficult because I’m never here for auditioning cycles. I’m out of town a lot, and I’m out of

town a lot when filming is going on, so it’s difficult.

Q: Where do you perform mostly?

A: I guess mostly festivals now.

Festivals and theatres, and we do a fair bit of corporate work.

Q: Can you tell me about your latest album, Time?

A: I wrote the majority of the songs on the albums, some with my friend Donna Grantis who was my guitarist up until recently, and some with a friend of mine, Brook Blackburn, who’s been my friend for almost 25 years, and then some by myself.

I wanted a collection of music, so I chose blues music for one CD and rock and soul music for the other one. I wanted to encapsulate all the music of my life, and because I was raised in Toronto, because I was raised in Switzerland, my music wasn’t Blues Page 13

Blues: Juno nomination gave performer a boost continued from page 11

just about blues, it was also about the soft rock period that was going on in the ‘70s and the funky stuff that was going on in the ‘80s to address that with this album. And I wanted to do it in such a way that did not confuse my blues audience and make them think that I was either deserting them or not considering how they might feel.

Q: Have you performed in Burnaby before?

A: I haven’t. Actually, the very first time I went to Vancouver I stayed in Burnaby. I went to a friend’s who was with the B.C. Lions at the time.

He’s back in Toronto now with his family for a long while, but I love, love, love Vancouver. I played at the Vancouver Island festival and also at the Vancouver festival last year, and so

I’m really, really looking forward to having an opportunity to play outside of Vancouver proper. I’m looking forward to being a part of (the Burnaby) festival as well.

Q: What can your audience expect from your set at the Burnaby Blues Festival?

A: To not have any expectations, please. That’s my least favourite question of all, and I always say this, because I think that what happens is when you tell people, oh, my gosh, she sings like this, this and this, or she’s going to do this, this and this, they come with this expectation, and they’ve already closed themselves off to half the possibilities that can happen. I think, just expect that I’m going to do my best.

How does this kind of award change your career?

A: It changed how I think about me. Getting the nomination this year was very, very huge because this project really was about me. For the first time, I did what I wanted to do and the vision really was mine. The musicians that were brought into this project were my choices, the producers and everybody involved were those that I wanted to be involved (with), so getting the nomination is, for me, a nod to trust myself. To not second guess my creativity,

Grilled Mahi-Mahi

my artistry, my experience.

It’s not so much, wow, look at me, I got nominated for this, people think I’m great, it’s look at me, look at what I can accomplish when I trust myself. And then other people trust you, too, and they enjoy what you do.

Q: Considering your name, are you ever concerned about being confused with (the Colombian pop singer) Shakira?

A: No, because my hips do lie. All the time.

More tanker tracking options

In my last column, I wrote about a Port Metro Vancouver map that allows people to see what kind of vessels are in the Burrard Inlet, and David Huntley, a local reader, sent in some information about another way to track tankers.

The marinetraffic.com site has a map with colourcoded icons that show tankers in red, and cargo vessels, passenger ships, tugs, yachts and fishing vessels in various other colours. The map spans the entire globe, but you can zoom in for detailed information on which ships are in Vancouver waters. At press time, there was only one tanker moored near Vancouver, and all of the vessels anchored close to English Bay were cargo vessels. If Kinder Morgan receives approval to twin the Trans Mountain, traffic will increase from roughly 60 tankers per year to 408, so I’m sure there will be a lot more red icons popping up on this map. Thanks, David, for sending that information in.

Bear sleeping on neighbour’s patio

Rosemary Gardner, another local reader, sent me a note about the wildlife tracking map run by Wildsafe B.C. and reported a bear was spotted in the Greentree Village, a

neighbourhood close to BCIT. This bear was seen roaming the area and was found sleeping on a neighbour’s patio. Conservation officers were alerted, but the sighting hasn’t been marked on the wildlife map yet. (See www.wild safebc.com/WARP) The map is usually updated twice a week, and not all sightings are recorded.

This version of the map is new, and Wildsafe B.C. is still working out some of the geo-coding glitches. For instance, if a bear is reported but there’s a problem with the address, the sighting will be marked at the centre of the Burnaby, which happens to be Metrotown. The map shows wild animals at the mall, but that’s just a glitch in the system, I’m told. Also, contrary to what I was told about the

1/,!23/4 "3'.$# *2/.)

colour-coding, red does not represent the most recent sighting; colours are used to indicate what kinds of attractants drew the wildlife, and red represents garbage.

Thanks to Rosemary Gardner for sending that information in.

Lakers secure playoff spot with win Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers clinched a spot in the Western Lacrosse Association playoff with a season-series win over the Maple Ridge Burrards.

The senior A Lakers defeated the slumping Burrards 10-9 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre last Friday, improving their season record to 9-70 in the process.

With just two games left on the season sched-

ule for both teams, even a tie in the standings with Maple Ridge would give Burnaby the playoff berth.

Only Coquitlam, also with two games left, is capable of catching the Lakers for third place following a 129 win over Maple Ridge on Sunday.

Last Thursday, Burnaby appeared unready to accept the responsibility of a playoff berth, putting out a lacklustre effort in a 13-8 loss to the desperate New WestminsterSalmonbellies at Queen’s Park.

In that game, concensus rookie of the year Logan Schuss led the ‘Bellies, scoring five times in an eight-point splurge, while former Laker backup Neil Tyacke had a terrific night, stopping 54 of 62 shots on goal.

Burnaby keeper Dan Lewis admitted to being a little anxious against New West, but he more than redeemed himself in the win over Maple Ridge.

“It’s great to bounce back. I believe I owed it to the guys after New

West,” Lewis said. “Today (Friday) was all about the game and to make sure I didn’t let the guys down.”

Although outshot 48-31 in the game against Maple Ridge, Burnaby was in control after the midway mark of the middle period.

Colton Clark sparked an unanswered four-goal spree to close the period with the go-ahead goal.

Robert Church then tallied perhaps the prettiest goal of the night, weaving his way past a number of

Burrard defenders to score his first of two goals in the game.

Jason Jones and Justin Salt, on a clear-cut breakaway off a turnover, gave Burnaby a four-goal advantage at the interval.

Riley Loewen of Burnaby shaved the deficit to 7-5 with back-to-back goals early in the third, but first star Scott Jones, with his third goal and sixth point of the game, and Church, with his fifth WLA Page 20

Record breaker makes world junior team Tom Berridge

Burnaby’s Stefan Milosevic made a statement at the Canadian summer senior nationals swim meet in Pointe Claire, Que. last week.

The 17-year-old Hyack club swimmer opened the four-day competition with a thrilling firstplace win in the men’s 200-metre freestyle final.

Milosevic’s time of 1:51.18 was just under a second away from Brian Johns’ 2000 provincial record of 1:50.34.

The following day in the preliminary heats, the Cariboo Hill

Secondary student set a new provincial boys’ 15/17 record, bettering former world champion Brent Hayden’s age-group mark with a 51.41 time in the 100m free en route to a silver-medal finish in the final.

“It was a pretty exciting 200, with four guys coming in all within four-tenths of a second, and Stefan got his hand on the wall first,” said Hyack head coach Mark Bottrill. “It’s been the mid1990s since the last time something like that has happened.

“For a club like the Hyacks to get a medal at the seniors for a male age-class swimmer, it’s pretty amazing.”

Milosevic outtouched 23-yearold University of Calgary swimmer David Woodman for the gold medal in the sprint to the finish.

In the 100m free, Milosevic was just one-tenth of a second behind Oakville’s Bryce KwiechienDelaney.

Later in the day, Milosevic also made the final in the men’s 400m individual medley. He also placed eighth in the men’s 50m free on the final day of competition.

Milosevic placed in a tie for fifth place in the overall men’s high point aggregate standings.

Two other B.C. swimmers posted a win on the first day of competition. Heather MacLean

took the women’s 200m free in 2:01.13, while 15-year-old Emily Overholt took the national title in the women’s 200m butterfly in a time of 2:13.76.

For Milosevic and Overholt, their wins secured each of them a spot on Canada’s world junior championships team, which will be held in Dubai in late August.

Simon Fraser Aquatic club swimmers also garnered a firstand second-place medal at the summer nationals.

David Hibberd won the men’s 50m free in a time of 23.19, while clubmate Andrew Poznikoff was Swim Page 20

The Burnaby Lakers made the best of a provincial championship opportunity this weekend.

The A2 Lakers, a middleof-the-pack team during the regular season, snuck into the championship finals and came away with a bronze medal following a 7-6 overtime win against Kelowna at the South Delta rec centre on Sunday.

Trailing by two goals late in the game and to start the 10-minute extratime period, on both occasions Burnaby managed to find a way to come back.

“It was just a tight field.

It was pretty amazing,” said Burnaby head coach Trevor Leland.

In the consolation final, Ryan Rothwell completed the third-period comeback, knottng the score in the last minute of play to send the match into extra time.

Nathan Howes then completed a second straight two-goal rally, potting the game-winner with approximately a minute left in OT. Bantam B callup Chi Chuku held the fort in goal the rest of the way to ensure the Lakers of a medal. “(Chi) played like an A1 player. He kept us in the game. They were pelting up pretty good there,” Leland added.

Burnaby advanced to the final four despite a 1-2 record in pool play, including an 8-7 win over Port Moody in the opening game.

The A2s also lost a pair of tight one-goal games – 76 to Surrey and 4-3 to eventual champion Campbell River.

“They took it to a whole other level in the playoffs,” Leland said of the overachieving A2 Lakers.

Tyler Eckert, Joel Sinclair, Anthony Benevoli and Christian Buono all had particularly strong showings all tournament long for the Lakers.

Basil Cooper was named Burnaby’s fair play award winner.

Campbell River won the gold in the A2 division, beating Richmond 9-6.

Polo play: Langley and Haney, in white, duelled it out at the Burnaby Barracudas’ under-14 coed water polo tournament at Central Park pool last week. Burnaby will host a u-16 water polo meet today (Wednesday).

point, regained the four-goal bulge for the Lakers.

Lewis helped his own cause, assisting on Burnaby’s last two goals, including a breakaway toss to Salt, who potted his second goal of the game into an empty net with Chris Levis on the bench for a sixth attacker.

“As a team, it was a huge win for us to do what we did. ... It’s all about building into the playoffs and hitting our stride,” said Lewis.

Burnaby head coach Rory McDade agreed, stating the Lakers have been steadily improving since their 1-3 start.

“We have been building and getting better,” McDade said, “but we’re going to be seeing a lot more pressure defences, and we have to be ready for that.”

Burnaby’s final regular season home game is against first-place Langley at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Friday. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

The Lakers finish off the league schedule in Coquitlam against the Adanacs on Saturday.

Not all water damage is covered by basic home insurance.

Chile’s John Poli and Ylya Mallek were named to the 29-player team, along with Khalsa Sporting Club players Colin Streckmann and Alex Marello, both of Burnaby, the league announced on July 15.

Khalsa also boasted Milad Rahmati, Ryan Dillon and Milad Mehrabi, while Coquitlam Metro-Ford also put five players on the team – Jovan Blagojevic, Anthony DiNicolo, Carson Gill, Devin Phelan and Alex Rowley.

Former Douglas College star Reynolds Stewart was one of four selects from the Vancouver Thunderbirds squad.

The men’s all-star team will be honoured at the Challenge Cup tournament this weekend at Town Centre Stadium in Coquitlam.
