Year of the Horse: Sandra Rauda holds Kimmy Pratt while making way for the colourful lion poking its head into an unsuspecting business on Hastings Street during the Chinese New Year Lion Dance on Feb. 1 in The Heights.

It all started with a motion last December. At the last 2013 council meeting, Coun. Sav Dhaliwal brought up how two chief medical officers from Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health Authority, Dr. Patricia Daly and Dr. Paul Van Buynder, slammed the environmental impact assessment by SNC-Lavalin and wrote letters to inform Port Metro Vancouver of that. The issue came up again on Jan. 13, just two days after the CP train derailed on CN’s tracks and dumped three car loads of 40 tonnes of metallurgical coal into Silver Creek. The spill was fresh on council’s mind, and when the motion came forward to oppose the environmental impact assessment by SNC-Lavalin over a coal expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks, Corrigan Page 4

Alternative pipeline route now ‘preferred’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

With eight days left to apply as an intervenor in Kinder Morgan’s pipeline hearing, the company has quietly shifted its preference to the secondary Burnaby routing option announced last summer. The NOW has learned Kinder Morgan would rather run the proposed pipeline down the CN railway tracks, instead of

Lougheed Highway, contrary to information currently on the company’s website and in its National Energy Board application. Meanwhile, the deadline to apply for intervenor status in the hearings is next Wednesday, Feb. 12 at midnight. Burnaby residents with concerns about either route should apply if they want their voices heard, but they’ll have to look beyond the company’s website and delve into the mas-

sive facilities application to find a map of the second route. As previously reported in the NOW, Kinder Morgan has been looking at two study corridors for the pipeline’s route, but the preferred option, or “selected” study corridor, was down Lougheed Highway from North Road at the border with Coquitlam, and the railway corridor to the south was considered an alternative. On Dec. 16, the company filed its appli-

cation with the National Energy Board and indicated the Lougheed route was the selected corridor, but a recent document obtained by the Burnaby NOW indicates that the company now prefers the alternative. “Since Trans Mountain filed their application, they have determined that the secondary alternative route in this area would be their preference, therefore we have shifted Pipeline Page 3

our focus to the option to the south and are now considering it our preferred route,” writes Joey Andries, of Progress Land, the Edmonton company that has been distributing Trans Mountain pipeline notices to affected residents. “We will continue to do studies along the Lougheed Highway until such a time that a construction footprint is established, but our focus will be on the south route.” At press time, Trans Mountain’s online interactive map only showed the Lougheed route and had a disclaimer to check the facilities application, which is an estimated 15,000 pages. Trans Mountain spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell emailed the NOW on Monday, stating the interactive map on the company’s website shows the selected corridor through Burnaby as of Dec. 16, when the facilities application was filed. “In some cases, such as in Burnaby, two or more study corridors were filed, one as a ‘selected’ and the other as an ‘alternative.’ The Lougheed Highway route is the one shown on the interactive map and is filed as the ‘selected’ study corridor in the application. The route along the railway corridor is also in the application as the ‘alternative’ study corridor,” she wrote. “All potential landowners who would be directly affected by either corridor have been directly notified by letter. We will continue to discuss alternatives with landowners and stakeholders as (we) move forward in our process to refine the route.” Kinder Morgan has always said the final pipeline path will be determined after the NEB approves the expansion, during the project’s

Pedestrian struck by car, fined for jaywalking A woman was sent to hospital last week after she was struck by a vehicle in Burnaby. According to Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Rob Marks, around 6:50 a.m. on Jan. 28 a woman was hit by an oncoming vehicle at the

Mayor Derek Corrigan was candid with his views. Corrigan’s comments struck a chord with the public, likening living in B.C. to that of a “banana republic” created a field day for media outlets and the public at large. The video of his comments were posted on YouTube and have now reached almost 18,000 views. But, on Jan. 30, John Parker-Jervis, Port Metro Vancouver’s media and government affairs advisor, emailed the Burnaby NOW outlining four key facts he says were misrepresented by Corrigan’s comments. Parker-Jervis says the Port Metro Vancouver board of directors will not financially benefit from the Fraser Surrey Docks approval, and that under the Canada Marine Act, Port Metro’s board members do not make individual permitting decisions. Also, Port Metro Vancouver did not directly hire SNC-Lavalin, according to the fact sheet. It required Fraser Surrey Docks to conduct an environmental assessment. The decision was made by the project proponent of the docks. The statement about coal destined for the proposed project being refused by American ports is “untrue.” Currently, several project proposals are under review, including the Gateway Pacific Terminal in Cherry Point, Washington, which will handle 48 million tonnes of coal per year. The U.S. exports more than 100 million tonnes of coal each year. Port Metro Vancouver says it also currently utilizes short-sea shipping across its jurisdiction.

Are rail cars rolling through Burnaby safe? Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

All of Chevron’s rail cars transporting oil through Burnaby are the same type that derailed in the tragic Lac-Megantic explosion that left more than 40 people dead, but the local refinery says its rail cars meet the current safety standards. JorgeMarco,theChevron refinery’s new spokesperson, said 100 per cent of the refinery’s rail fleet is DOT111 cars, the same type the Transportation Safety Board highlighted in its review of the Lac-Megantic explosion. On Jan. 23, the board called for tougher safety regulations for DOT-111 cars, a very common class of rail car used to transport some hazardous goods, like propane and crude oil. Marco said Chevron’s fleet of DOT-111 cars meets all the required safety and regulatory standards and that the refinery’s policy is to comply with the law. However, he could not comment on whether the refinery would make any changes, following the Transportation Safety

Board’s recommendations pipeline, truck and rail. Marco said the majority that Transport Canada heighten safety standards of the refinery’s crude supply comes from the Trans on DOT-111 cars. “Chevron supports Mountain pipeline and the enhancements to regulation rest is through a combinathat provide effective ways tion of rail and truck shipto improve the safety of ments, but he could not crude oil transport by rail, give specific volumes.

OUR VIEW

Liberals have lost moral high ground IN MY OPINION

Keith Baldrey

f all the many controversies that have dogged the B.C. Liberals during their near-13 years in power, few match their inept, wrongheaded and, in the end, illegal actions against two public sector unions. Their decisions to tear up freely negotiated contracts with both the Hospital Employees Union and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are black marks etched deep in their record and will stand as an unimpressive legacy for some time. Their dispute with the HEU has faded from view, after the courts ruled against the government and forced it to negotiate a hefty financial penalty with the union. But their dispute with the BCTF lingers on, even after a B.C. Supreme Court judge last week delivered a scathing rebuke of their actions. Unfortunately, this means stability and certainty may not be returning to the public education system anytime soon. The court ruled, for the second time, that stripping working conditions from the collective agreement was unconstitutional

and illegal. That is fairly straightforward. What is not straightforward, however, is what happens next. The judge, in her decision, ordered that the language governing class size and class composition (which determines how many teachers and special needs assistants are required to be on the job) that was in the contract in 2002 (when the government arbitrarily removed them) be put back in the collective agreement. But she also wrote that “this does not guarantee the language is clad in stone” and notes it will be the subject of ongoing collective bargaining. Not surprisingly, the BCTF argues that given the court decision, staffing levels should revert to 2002 levels, which would likely require the hiring or re-hiring of several thousand teachers, librarians and special needs assistants (who are members of CUPE). The provincial government appears to be balking at that interpretation, which is also not surprising, given the enormous financial cost that would be incurred with having to hire so many teachers so quickly (the court heard evidence that it would cost $500 million, plus $275 million a year, estimates the judge found speculative). Adding to the confusion and the costs is the possibility that thousands of grievances will be filed (or have been filed) by Teachers Page 7

getting involved or staying out of the process. Trans Mountain tells us they are contacting affected residents directly and anyone can go online to read the full application to see the map of the second route. (We spent a good hour looking through the 15,000 pages and couldn’t find it.) But the application indicates that Lougheed is the preferred option, and the company’s online map still only shows the Lougheed route. We suspect this obfuscation is deliberate. If enough folks protest one route, the company can then say they listened to

those folks and chose the least-opposed route. But if the preferred route is not the one residents believed it to be, it’s a bit like sending the posse chasing after the riderless horse. At the very least, Trans Mountain needs to come clean and tell everyone (not just selected residents) that their routing priorities have changed, and the deadline to apply for intervenor status needs to be extended so residents can properly prepare. The lesson? Apply for intervenor status regardless of which pipeline route you are concerned about.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Robbing Peter to pay Paul? Dear Editor:

There are changes coming to the Burnaby routes. I am a transit operator based in Burnaby for the past 17 years. I have worked on both the No. 49 and the No. 116, which are slated for changes. I am all for expanding service and giving service to developing districts. I am not for the “smoke-andmirror” game of taking away service in other areas under the pretense of “expansion” of service. Don’t kid yourselves, if TransLink and Coast Mountain Bus Company are having financial problems, where is the money coming from for the route expansion? It is just robbing Peter to pay Paul? The No. 49 route is actually not a Burnaby route.

Burnaby is the smallest part of the route, and the buses are actually based out of the Richmond depot. The proposed cutting out the Champlain Mall part of the run will have a very negative effect on the residents of the area, especially the elderly and those with mobility issues. I wouldn’t want my elderly grandmother or mother walking from 49th Avenue and Tyne to 54th Avenue and Kerr or beyond. What happens during inclement weather? How will the affected residents get to doctor appointments in the Metrotown area? HandyDart? Don’t even get started on that issue. As for the proposed changes to the No. 116 in the Big Bend area, yes, expansion is needed. However, the “one” stop that will be removed is the busiest

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bus changes unacceptable continued from page 6

stop on the route coming from Edmonds Station. There is a second stop also being eliminated on Byrne Road (will affect the golf course and businesses). The prior stop is located just south of Marine Drive (approximately five- to seven-minute walk) on a very busy road (Byrne) with no designated sidewalk and then crossing a very busy intersection (Byrne and Marine Way). For safety reasons, there is no stop on the north side of Marine Way, and there is no safe location eastbound on Marine Way until past the shopping area. Businesses in the shopping area, do you think your business will not be affected? The arrogance of TransLink to state that some people will have a seven-minute longer ride, as if it is no big deal, is disgraceful for an organization that is providing a “service.” Where is the funding coming for this expansion? Are the industrial businesses in the Big Bend area paying for this expansion? No. Is TransLink funding this expansion? No. The funding for this expansion is going to be put onto the backs of the already stretched bus system. Passengers on another route(s) will be losing some of their service, to pay for the “expansion” of service. If you are going to “expand” service, you need to have the means to fund it without stealing from other routes and passengers that are already paying the price with the continuum of service cuts. Kirk Rockwell, Burnaby

Referendum just a bad idea

Dear Editor:

During last year’s provincial election, Christy Clark promised that any new funding for TransLink would be decided by a referendum held in conjunction with the 2014 municipal elections. It was a bad idea then, it’s a bad idea now. There is a body of opinion that government should not govern by referendum, that its purpose is to decide complex issues like taxation. Indeed, the B.C. Liberal government endorsed this view after it lost the HST referendum. So why the change of heart? We’re told the objective is to provide voters the opportunity to have a say about the preferred way to raise additional money to pay for TransLink projects. The options, however, appear to be rather limited: a new tax or an increase in an existing tax or a combination of both. The wording of the question hasn’t been decided yet, but it doesn’t take a political analyst with an economics degree to figure out that it will beg the answer: “No. No more taxes, no increase in taxes.” People are like that. Hell, sometimes I’m like that. So let’s say the referendum fails to “find” additional money for TransLink projects. What then? Well, the 77-year-old Pattullo Bridge will still need to be replaced. Light rail project plans will be filed away. Bus service won’t be improved. And generally the ongoing development of an efficient transportation plan for the region will suffer a major setback. On the other hand, maybe the majority of voters will agree to more taxation to ensure that doesn’t happen. But really, Premier Clark, is it worth the risk? Bill Brassington, Burnaby

Teachers: Court ruling could prove costly for B.C. Liberals continued from page 6

teachers who spent a decade working under working conditions now deemed to have been illegal. But whatever the number, the amount of money that could potentially be involved here is staggering. And that is one reason why the government is likely to appeal the decision. At the very least, filing an appeal will buy it some time to find a way out of this mess. In the meantime, school trustees everywhere are wondering when and if they have to hire a bunch of teachers at a time when their boards’ budgets don’t have the money to do that. And it’s also unclear how this situation will affect the ongoing talks between the BCTF and the government regarding a new contract. If anything, it’s hard to see how the

court ruling will have a positive impact on the contract talks, at least in the short term. The number 1 priority for the B.C. Liberal government is a balanced budget. Next year’s budget is forecast, for now, to have a surplus of less than a half billion dollars (or, potentially, the amount of money equal to funding the 2002 class size and composition regulations). So it is not clear (especially given its stubborn and abrasive attitude in this fight) that the government will simply roll over and automatically fund all those new teaching positions, since that funding could tip the budget into deficit. But the B.C. Liberals do not have the high moral ground here, let alone a strong legal position. Some kind of mediation may be an option. Even binding arbitration – a

route rarely used by governments because it means they lose control over the outcome – may have to be explored. Of course, the BCTF is perfectly entitled to reject all those options and insist the 2002 rules be followed pronto. If that’s where everything is headed, we may see a new tax coming from the government to pay for them, and there is a precedent for it. For example, in 2002 the B.C. Liberals raised the provincial sales tax by a half cent to pay for a very expensive binding arbitration with the doctors. Perhaps we’re headed down the same kind of path again, and if we are, you can place the blame squarely on a fight the B.C. Liberals started more than 10 years ago.

Burnaby woman eyes mission to Mars Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Is there life on Mars? There may be soon enough, thanks to a crowdfunded plan to send humans to the red planet by 2025, and Burnaby’s Maiesha Abdelmoula could be part of the private mission. The Mars One project plans to send crews of four people every four years, starting in 2024, to set up a permanent settlement on Mars, and Abdelmoula has made the top 1,000 list from the first international round of 250,000 applicants. “It gets more and more real every day,” Abdelmoula said in a phone interview while in Ontario, where she’s studying environmental design. “This is a really big deal.” While she hasn’t made the final cut yet, if selected, Abdelmoula would likely

go through training in 2015. The plan is to launch a series of unmanned missions to Mars to drop off a satellite, a rover, living units and supplies before the first group of people depart in 2024 and arrive roughly seven months later. Abdelmoula thinks she was selected because her area of study focuses on how humans intertwine with their natural environment, and she hopes she can apply her urban planning skills on Mars. “It’s basically more like systems planning and using basic concepts you would integrate there,” she told the NOW. But what would life on Mars look like? According to Abdelmoula, settlers would have to draw on ice as their main source of water and oxygen, and there would be greenhouses to grow food. Living in

an extreme environment can be difficult on people, both physically and mentally, but Abdelmoula thinks she up for it. “It’s obviously going to be trying,” she said. “Just the idea that you are confined to such a specific space – although it will be expanded as time goes on.” Abdelmoula also describes herself as headstrong and passionate – if she wants something, she goes after it and gets it. “My drive is making sure that we can integrate ourselves into the environment, without basically causing detriment,” she said. Each four-person mission would costs approximately US $4 billion, and the team behind Mars One is working on securing investments for the entire project, including the initial planning.

But signing up for a pioneering mission to Mars is not something you can back out of if you change your mind. Applicants who actually make it to our sister planet will not be coming back. It’s a oneway ticket. “It’s obviously nerve wracking,” Abdelmoula said. “(But) how many people get an opportunity to live on two planets in one lifetime?” For more information, or to donate to Mars One the settlement, go to www. mars-one.com.

Heights merchants wary of booming Brentwood Stefania Seccia staff reporter

While Brentwood Town Centre takes shape, promising towers and density, Heights merchants are worried about being cast in its shadow. Isabel Kolic, Heights Merchants Association executive director, recently told council the development in the Brentwood area is worrying business owners that an economic downturn on Hastings Street is imminent and that the competition will be too steep. “We’ll be frank that the Brentwood Town Centre redevelopment is a game changer for us,” Kolic said. “Our merchants are very nervous for many reasons, not the least of which is that some of them who have been around that long … they know that the area experienced significant downturn in the 1960s and ‘70s the last time a major redevelopment happened in that area. So, I think they’re a little bit gun shy.” Kolic said the association hopes to reexamine the 1991 Hastings Street official community plan. She suggested some modest but necessary changes need to be made. “As a small neighbourhood shopping district, we must compete for both customers and businesses to attract them to our area,” she said. “We also have some projects up our sleeves, which we wish to see fulfilled in the coming years.” Kolic said there’s a major public art installation being planned near Gamma Avenue for 2016, and the working title is

the “Heights Gateway,” which is intended to become a landmark for the area. The association is also freezing its levy for two years because merchants have had a difficult post-recession period. But council said more density in the area would only boost business. “I want to tell all of your businesses, I think that the development at Brentwood is going to be extremely beneficial,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said at the meeting. “We’ve talked before, and we know I’m very focused on linkages between Brentwood and the Heights, and I think that all of those new people coming in are going to love the Heights.” Corrigan said a new slew of residents eventually moving in will be attracted to what the Heights has to offer. “I don’t want your businesses to feel at all paranoid about this,” he added. “I think it’s going to benefit everybody in the long run.” Coun. Nick Volkow said he remembered a time when there was concern over a chain grocery store expanding in the Heights neighbourhood some years ago, which proved to be unfounded. “As a matter of fact, the reality was the introduction of an expanded grocery store at the corner actually improved a lot of merchants along there. … The draw of folks came to that store, all of a sudden noticed all the little stores that were around.” Coun. Pietro Calendino noted there are three new developments taking root in the Heights area, which will also bode well for the future of Hastings Street.

Marching to the beat of her own drum Drummer Girl celebrates a trailblazing career Julie MacLellan staff reporter

Where most people hear noise, Lauri Lyster hears rhythms. It was the simple sound of her crosscountry skis on the snow that sparked what would become a two-hour show devoted to her life in drumming. She was listening to the sound as she skied, back in January of 2012, and thinking that she could create a soundscape based on it. The more she let her mind wander, the more she realized that there were sounds everywhere that could be brought to life – and that there was a whole show’s worth of possibility in Lyster’s own world. Drummer Girl takes to the stage at Vancouver’s Firehall Arts Centre from Feb. 12 to 22. It’s the third incarnation of the show, which debuted at the Firehall in 2012 and played again at the Orpheum Annex last year. As Lyster describes it, it’s her life, in two hours or less. It tells the story of the Burnaby musician’s trailblazing career as a female drummer over the past 30 years. “Being a woman, that has informed everything about my life,” she says, chatting over coffee about its upcoming run. “But it’s more generic than that. It’s about being a musician.” The show was the product of a long period of pondering in Lyster’s life. By the time she had her epiphany moment during that cross-country skiing outing, she’d already been thinking about what she could do next. She was thinking about setting up her own band, but she couldn’t decide what kind of music she’d want to concentrate on. Having spent her career, by necessity, as a self-described “gig chameleon,” she’d never focused exclusively on one style. When she came up with the idea of running through all genres of music and adding some dramatic elements, Drummer Girl was born. The autobiographical show runs through the vast variety of experiences Lyster has had as a drummer since she first took up the drums at age 12. Incidentally, she credits her father with that decision – she was going to play the flute in school band, but her dad said it didn’t suit her. He suggested she play something more “fun and aggressive.” It turned out to be a good suggestion,

Jason Lang/burnaby now

Rhythm of life: Lauri Lyster has blazed a trail as a female drummer for 30 years, and she’s bringing those years to life in

Drummer Girl, onstage at the Firehall Arts Centre from Feb. 12 to 22. since Lyster went on to a professional career after doing a music degree. That career has spanned everything from playing with the acclaimed Winter Harp ensemble to the jazz-blues group Mother of Pearl – and a whole lot in between. “Lots of fun things have happened, and lots of great music has happened,” she says with a smile. She’s not afraid to focus on the times when everything hasn’t gone quite so well. Like the time her husband forgot to bring the bag containing her cymbals and her drum sticks, and she had to improvise. The gig in question was at a Legion hall, and in the hall’s basement she found an old wooden window frame that she broke up to make sticks. Her cymbal? A beer bucket. And she’s not afraid to get personal. “I’m a very open person. I’m very comfortable having my life up there,” she says. “I poke fun at myself. If you can’t poke fun at yourself, you’re lost.” Lyster assembled her own band for the

occasion – something she points out that drummers never get to do. She’s got Rene Worst on bass, Brenda Baird on keyboards and vocals, Kat Wahamaa on lead vocals and mandolin, Ben Henriques on saxophone and clarinet, and her husband, Simon Stribling, on trumpet and saxophone. “I forced him to be in the show,” she says with a laugh. It’s fitting that he is, since the two met onstage – Stribling is also a professional musician, playing all the jazz winds and brass instruments. Lyster credits her husband with her ability to change gears in her career. For years and years, she notes, she took whatever gigs she could get, just to stay afloat – which changed when she married someone more financially stable than herself. “Maybe that’s why the Drummer Girl has been able to come to be right now,” she muses. “My husband has helped me be able to make choices based on my heart and not on my wallet.”

The two also have a child, the now-fouryear-old Scarlet – and that has changed what Lyster is willing to do for her career. “Every time you step out the door for a gig or a rehearsal, it’s got to mean a lot to you,” she says. Lyster says she’s thrilled to have a chance to present Drummer Girl again. Musically, it roams through everything from “slow and sleazy” blues to African jazz to Celtic sounds, including some Lyster originals. And it features Lyster on the drum kit and a variety of other instruments – playing the bodhrán, djembe, frame drums and even her daughter’s shoes and toys. “It’s probably unlike anything you’ve ever seen,” she says with a grin. “You don’t have to know anything about drumming or be interested in drumming to enjoy the show.” The Drummer Girl runs Feb. 12 to 22. Tickets are $20 to $30, on sale through the Firehall Arts Centre at 604-689-0926 or online at firehallartscentre.ca.

Family Day fun just around the corner By Sajeda Virji,

Heights contributor The New Year has come and gone, and I’m still doing my best to stick to my resolutions. Though I’m having a tough time with sticking to my htness goals, I always resolve to spend as much time as possible with my family and friends. That’s why I’m excited that Family Day is right around the corner. For our inaugural Family Day last year, my family and I made an effort to spend a day together – we went for a lovely brunch and spent time strolling around different parts of the city.

This year, we have plans to do something similar, but we’re hoping to keep it in the Heights.

Regardless of how old your children may be, there really is something for everyone to do, especially with all the amenities the Heights offers. If you’ve got a young family, you can stop by Eileen Dailly Pool for a quick swim – the kids will have a ball slip sliding down the giant slide. Drop by McGill Public Library afterwards, pick-up some books for story time, or a DVD for a fun night in. My family and I still enjoy movie nights

in, especially when pizza is involved. Take the night off and order in, or visit one of the many family-friendly restaurants and cafés. No evening is complete without some sweet treats, at least not in my family!

Working in a neighbourhood like the Heights means I’m always bringing samples of what our merchants have to offer to family gatherings, and when I can, I encourage family to visit, too. We all enjoy the pastries and the unique gavour combinations of the handmade chocolates from Chez Christophe Chocolaterie Patisserie, and the malts and sundaes at Glenburn Soda Fountain and Confectionary have quickly become a family favourite, too.

Nothing beats a hearty, homemade meal. From local produce to fresh meat and seafood, the Heights has everything you need to make a delicious, gourmet meal together as a family. Once you’re done, drop by Dolphin Cinemas for a fun evening out with the family. Be sure to visit our website at www.burna byheights.com for a list of businesses to help you plan your Family Day activities.

Sajeda Virji is the marketing and events coordinator with the Heights Merchants Association.

Big Sisters needs volunteer mentors in city HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

ig Sisters needs volunteers in Burnaby to mentor young girls and help them with homework. There are 13 local girls waiting to be matched with a big sister, and six more who need help with schoolwork, and some of

them have been waiting for more than a year. Big Sisters provides older female mentors for young girls, and the organization’s Study Buddy program partners girls with women who help with an hour of homework once a week. Volunteer big sisters spend a minimum of two hours a week with their little counterparts. Full disclosure here: I am a volunteer with Big Sisters, and I’ve been partnered with a young girl for almost two years now. I got interested in the

idea while reporting on Big Sisters for the Burnaby NOW. I have to say, I really enjoy being a big sister, and I urge women to sign up. There’s so much pressure young girls are facing nowadays, and you can make a huge difference in someone’s life, just by spending time with her. My little sister is now 13 years old and just started high school. She’s smart, cool, caring and a lot of fun to be around. (I’ve also learned more about the British boy band One Direction than

any adult woman should ever know.) We also get to do fun things together, because Big Sisters organizes events or has free ticket giveaways. We’ve gone sailing on a catamaran off Jericho Beach and kayaking in Deep Cove. We recently went to a “beauty night” at Axis Salon in Vancouver, where all the little sisters got free haircuts. To get involved, or for more information, call 604873-4525 or go to www. bigsisters.bc.ca.

Diamond Gala coming up Has a year gone by already? It’s once again time for the Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s annual fundraiser. The 2014 Diamond Ball Gala will be on Feb. 15, and tickets are $100, or $900 if you buy enough for a table of 10. This year’s theme is “Grand Prix in Monte Carlo Night,” and the evening includes a Rod Stewart tribute-act, dinner and a silent auction.

The piece de résistance is the diamond jewelry that organizers are giving away as a prize. The gala starts at 6 p.m. at the Burnaby Firefighters Club at 6515 Bonsor Ave. Proceeds go to the Burnaby Neighbourhood House, which runs a wide variety of community programs aimed at bringing neighbours closer together. For more info or tickets, email info@sbnh.ca or call 604-431-0400. Do you have an item for Here & Now? Send an email to Jennifer, jmoreau@burn abynow.com.

Action packed: SFU’s Marie-Line Petit drives for a layin against some stiff defence by Montana State Billings in a 76-61 loss to the Great Northwest leaders in NCAA Division II women’s basketball.

SFU stuck in second with split Tom Berridge

sports editor

Simon Fraser University missed its chance to take over sole possession of second place in the Great Northwest women’s basketball conference. The Clan dropped a 76-61 decision to the conference-leading Montana State Billings at home on Saturday. The loss came after an earlier 7768 victory over Seattle Pacific, which leaves both teams in a four-team logjam for second place in the Great Northwest. “Our offence was too centred around one person, and a couple of people were just not there offensively,” said Clan head coach Bruce

Langford in a school press release. SFU junior Erin Chambers showed no ill effects from a dislocated finger, suffered the game before, leading the Clan with a game-high 25 points, five rebounds and four assists. SFU trailed Billings 38-29 at the halftime break but fell behind by as many as 20 points nine minutes into the latter period. Chambers led the Clan back to within 10 points, draining her second three-pointer of the game and potting a pair of free throws with less than four minutes left to play. Junior Chelsea Reist also played a strong game for the Clan, scoring 12 points on 50 per cent shooting, while grabbing nine rebounds. Montana State Billings improved

its first-place record to 9-2, while SFU and Seattle Pacific are tied with Alaska Anchorage and Western Washington at 7-4. Against Seattle Pacific, Chambers led the way with 20 points and five boards, despite the injury that failed to keep her off the floor for long. When Chambers subbed back in, SFU went on a 13-2 run that put the game out of reach for the visiting Falcons. SFU shot 41 per cent from beyond the arc and 46 per cent overall, while holding Seattle Pacific without a three-point bucket all game long. “We just hit a lot of shots at a crucial time to put it away,” said SFU Page 24

Senior Knights win girls’ Chancellor tourney St. Thomas More stole the show at the Chancellor senior girls’ basketball tournament. The Knights committed 26 steals from their top six players off the bench en route to a 64-44 victory

over the New Westminster Hyacks in the Chancellor championship final on Saturday. First team all-star Domunique Booker led the way with 13 points and 11 rebounds, as well

as four steals, three assists and one blocked shot. Fellow tournament allstars Leilani Carney and Zion Corrales-Nelson scored 10 points apiece and had five and six thefts, respectively, against the

Hyacks in the final. Player of the game Nikko Sahagun also chipped in with three three-pointers, three assists, three rebounds STM Page 24

and a game-high eight steals. Madie Bouvier was also busy, scoring five points, grabbing six rebounds and picking up three thefts. Tournament MVP Meghan Ho scored 12 points and added nine boards and two blocks. New West’s Amanda Zacharuk and Princess Frias, with a team-high 11 points in the final, were also named all-stars. Junior Hyack Madisen Obrovac helped out with eight points for New West. The Hyacks advanced to the final with a 68-40 win over Centennial. Player of the game Lauren Denusik scored 17 points for New West. Frias added 13 points to the scoreline. Zacharuk was named player of the game with 19 points in New West’s 67-45 win over Chilliwack in the tournament opener. Sonia Heer added 14 points to the win.

Draft: On Thurs. Feb. 6 New Westminster also has some enticing players finishing their junior careers. Kamloops product Quinn Smith is a more than capable competitor, while transition pair James McBride and Daniel Perreault both have good pedigrees. Ontario-born Kyle Dobbie, the younger brother of Dane Dobbie, and goalie Spencer England have also graduated. But a must-late pick for any team with a selection to spare must be Brendan Ranford, an all-rounder who is currently pursuing a professional hockey career with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey

League. “We think we’re definitely going to get good useful players,” said second-year Salmonbellie head coach Steve Goodwin. Burnaby also has some holes to fill in its current lineup, either by the draft or a trade. “We’re not finished. … If we can, we’ll trade to try and improve,” said Rowbotham. “What we don’t do this year, we’ll get done in the second year.” The WLA draft will take place in the banquet room at the Langley Events Centre on Thursday, Feb. 6. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the draft happens at 6:45 p.m. – Tom Berridge

Simon Fraser University’s Danielle Lappage won a bronze medal at 63 kilograms at the Dave Schultz Memorial International wrestling meet in Colorado Springs last Saturday. Lappage placed third overall, winning the consolation final by a fall over Argentina’s Luz clara Vazquez. The SFU senior won her two opening matches by technical superiority before losing a tight 5-2 decision to China’s Luozhuoma Xi.
