The Burnaby board of education has joined the chorus of voices calling on the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association to bring in a mediator to help end their labour dispute. In a letter to Education Minister Peter Fassbender Friday, the board said “decisive leadership” is needed because the ongoing dispute, which shut down schools nine days early this summer, is putting the very foundation of democracy at risk. “We, the board of eduRELATED STORY cation feel On the line: Betty that the curGriffin joins striking rent disrupteachers and recalls tion is putting what it was like to be a the reputateacher in the ’50s. tion of public See page 3 education in jeopardy,” reads the letter. “The loss of faith in and commitment to the public education system may cause irreparable harm to the foundation of our free democratic society.” The letter states morale among teachers and support staff is low, administrators are overworked, and student and parents are concerned about their educational future. Teachers started pushing for a mediator Thursday, calling on Premier Christy Clark to appoint veteran mediator Vince Ready. The province approved the choice, but on Sunday it was reported Ready was unavailable. Burnaby school board chair Baljinder Narang wants the two sides to keep looking. “There are lots of other good Teachers Page 5

Jacob Zinn While Burnaby MLA Kathy Corrigan is condemning distracted driving in B.C., her husband, Mayor Derek Corrigan, is among the thousands of drivers who were ticketed in 2013 for not giving their undivided attention behind the wheel. In July of last year, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan received a ticket for using an electronic device while driving in Burnaby. The report from Court Services online doesn’t disclose what type of device it was, and Derek refused to tell the NOW the circumstances of the incident. “Are you the judge?” interjected Derek when asked why he thought the ticket was given to him. Derek noted that he is disputing the ticket, which has yet to go to a hearing. “I disagreed with it fundamentally, and I think the officer was wrong and so I disputed it immediately,” he said. “It’s a minor infraction, and it’s one that should be dealt with promptly,” he added, criticizing the provincial justice system. “I would’ve liked to have cleared it up a long time ago and then it wouldn’t give people like you what they believe to be a story.” ICBC acknowledges that distracted driving is a serious issue in the province, noting that it is the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C., with an average of 91 deaths per year, according to the insurance corporation’s latest annual report. The news of the mayor’s ticket comes a week after his wife appeared on Global TV as the Opposition public safety critic, lobbying the provincial government to better stress the dangers of talking and texting while driving as the

A 91-year-old veteran of the B.C. public school labour trenches gave striking Burnaby teachers a shot in the arm Monday. Betty Griffin, a retired elementary teacher whose career began in 1954, joined picketers in front of Edmonds Community School with a sign reading “Seniors Support Teachers” attached to the front of her walker. “Don’t ever get down on your knees; stand up for your rights,” she told the NOW, summing up the accumulated wisdom of 74 years of union activism that began when she was 18 and building planes for Boeing during the Second World War. Griffin launched her teaching career at age 34, when her two stepchildren started school, but because women teachers hadn’t yet won the right to maternity leave, she had to quit four years later when she became pregnant. “I had to be rehired,” she said. “It was as though I had never taught before. It wiped out everything I had done.” Once she was rehired, she rejoined the local union’s negotiating team, and, shortly after, Burnaby became the first local in the province to win maternity leave. Griffin also spent 10 years pushing for teachers’ pensions to be indexed to the cost of living – something they won in 1980. “Our pensions had no indexing in the beginning,” she said, “and there were teachers who started out at $300 a month, and they had to see if they could go back to work so that they could eat.” Despite today’s teachers enjoying a lot of advantages over those who taught in her day, Griffin remains a passionate supporter, especially when it comes to class composition. When she first started, she said, special needs students had their own classes. To facilitate their integration into regular classrooms later on, each class was allotted an extra teacher per a certain number of special needs students. “Then they just cut them out,” Griffin said. “And they cut out the librarians. You can’t have a school without a librarian. It’s unthinkable.”

Local nabbed in child porn bust Cayley Dobie staff reporter
A 23-year-old Burnaby man is among 11 men facing charges following Operation Snapshot III, a coast-tocoast investigation aimed at cracking down on child sex offenders. The Burnaby man, whose name has not been released, is charged with two counts of possession of child pornography. He is one of two Lower Mainland men facing charges as part of Operation Snapshot III; the other is a 35-year-old Surrey man. TheRCMPannouncedlastThursday that five children were removed from harm and more than 150 individuals across the country had been arrested or under investigation as part of the ongoing Operation Snapshot. The operation targets “child sex offend-
ers who collect, possess, share, make available, distribute and produce child sexual exploitation material online,” read a press release from RCMP headquarters in Ottawa. “As a result of Snapshot, there are 29 investigations in B.C. and 22 of those were in communities policed by the RCMP,” Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, senior media spokesperson for the B.C. RCMP, told the NOW. Those 22 RCMP investigations produced more than 30 charges against the 11 men from cities across the province, including Duncan, Nanaimo, Sidney, Kelowna, Vernon, Revelstoke and Williams Lake, as well as Burnaby and Surrey. Operation Snapshot III began in February and involved more than 40 police agencies coordinated by the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation

Coordination Centre. “It’s very collaborative,” Vermeulen said. “In fact, it’s very collaborative between police agencies throughout the country and throughout the world really.” In addition to the charges laid, Mounties also rescued two B.C. children from harm, but the names and place of residence of these two kids will not be released due to privacy issues. “They’re victims, so we’re going to protect them,” Vermeulen said. Operation Snapshot III follows on the heels of two previous investigations, one in 2012 and the other in 2013. During the course of the initial two operations, five children were removed from harm, 54 arrests were made and millions of sexually exploitative images of children were seized.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Public education was hard-won Dear Editor:
“Education for the marketplace” is the slogan by which public education is being attacked and dismantled by corporate powers, but education is not the art of training and subjugating people to serve the profit of others. This attack profoundly affects the thinking, the philosophy, the very future of our children and the world they grow up in. No one stops to think how hard it was to win the fight for free, non-sectarian public schools in our country. When 10,000 citizens petitioned in 1831 in support of separation of church and state (the church was the biggest landowner and controlled the
schools), they were refused in no uncertain terms by the Family Compact, the government of the day. Their refusal was the prime cause of the rebellion of 1837. Protest rallies were held the length and breadth of Lower Canada, expressing their support for the Patriots led by Papineau, but met defeat when 6,000 British troops marched against them, burning villages as they went. At the same time, William Lyon Mackenzie and his Reformers in Upper Canada fared no better, between getting their dates for action confused and having their more conservative members turn traitor. Mackenzie never did see the great convention in York (Toronto) which was to proclaim responsible government. He fled to the United States, but

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Public education is a right continued from page 6
his friends Samuel Lount and Peter Matthews were hanged and their bodies consigned to Potters’ Field. It was amazing that just 14 years later, in 1852, Lieutenant-Governor Wilmot of New Brunswick opened a provincial exhibition saying: “it is unpardonable that any child should grow up in our country without the benefit of at least a common school education. It is the duty not only of the parent but of the people. The property of the country should be to educate the children of the country. I want to hear the tax collector calling at my door. I want the children of the poor in the remote settlements to receive the advantages now almost confined to their more fortunate brethren and sisters of the towns.” British Columbia’s historical development was quite different from the other provinces, and the first School Act of 1865 acceded to the popular demand of “a free non-sectarian school open to all classes in the community.” This was passed by the Vancouver Island Legislature seven years before B.C. joined Confederation. Canadians are known as a compassionate people. This is a time to be a passionate people, a time to go on the offensive, to insist that every child has a right to free quality education with adequate funding provided by senior governments that profit from the selloff of our natural resources. Finally, a reminder to the B.C. school trustees of their discussion paper of 1996, “A New Agenda for Education in British Columbia,” in which they said, “We think it’s clear that the agenda for public policy for education can no longer revolve around a single item – ‘How much does it
cost’ – it must be about improving education and about doing a better job of meeting children’s needs.” Betty Griffin, Burnaby
Education is essential Dear Editor:
I need to be enlightened, and perhaps some of your readers can do that for me. Let me preface the following missive with the facts that no one in my family has children in school, and that I have no political affiliation with any party, nor have I voted in the last several elections, for reasons not relevant to this issue. With that out of the way, would you and your readers agree that public education, especially K-12 is essential? Is it essential that young people at a minimum graduate from high school to become productive tax payers? Basic education even goes beyond that. For example, the U.S. military brass certainly thinks so. In recent reports, U.S. generals have noted that it is increasingly difficult to find suitable recruits because many applicants lack the necessary literacy skills. They contend that this endangers their national security. So far, I have not heard of similar concerns from our military leaders. But you get the point. Therefore, my argument is, if in fact education is essential, should not those professions who provide that service be classified as essential? Would a seamless education, without disruptions not be a benefit for students to attain this essential education? I am curious to see what others think about this. Ted Grigoleit, Burnaby
Enbridge: Is pipeline a pipe dream? continued from page 6
demonstrated that a lack of aboriginal treaties in this province has meant First Nations’ interests must be accommodated and respected, and that bodes ill for the Northern Gateway project. And then there is the B.C. government, which is no small problem for Enbridge. Premier Christy Clark has set five distinct conditions that have to be met before her government will support the project. Only one of them – getting through an environmental assessment process – has been achieved, and it’s unlikely any of the others will come close to being met. She and Environment Minister Mary Polak have said if the conditions are not met, then B.C. will not grant any of the 60 provincial permits that Enbridge
must secure for various activities, including construction of a pipeline. The federal government distributed a backgrounder when it announced its approval of the pipeline. It ever so helpfully lists the dozen or so provincial pieces of legislation that come into play with this project. I can picture provincial bureaucrats right now eagerly awaiting the chance to nix a permit for Enbridge because, say, an archeological site may be disturbed by a construction crew. No, for all kinds of reasons – 209 conditions, First Nations opposition, the B.C. government’s opposition – it’s more than likely the Northern Gateway pipeline will never be built. There’s no sense trying to convince the environmental movement of that, though. It’s going to be too busy using what could end
up being a phantom project to raise a lot of money. ! When Premier Christy Clark gets around to the first shuffle of her post-election cabinet, I suspect the person leading the shortlist for being dumped will be Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk. After denying any wrongdoing, an investigation found he broke the rules for disclosing public sector compensation while he was on the board of Kwantlen College (before he was elected). I would think there are now at least a few B.C. Liberal backbenchers who may think themselves more worthy of a cabinet post than Virk, and I have to wonder whether the premier might come to that conclusion as well. Keith Baldrey is the chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Southgate Neighbourhood Open House #2
With the public input received at the Southgate Neighbourhood Ideas Open House #1 (held 2013 April 18), City of Burnaby staff have developed a draft Concept Plan for the proposed neighbourhood, one that envisions the transformation, over time, of the existing industrial site (formerly Safeway Distribution Complex and Dairy Plant site) into a community of complete neighbourhood areas, each of which express a definitive sense of place and character. At the heart of the proposed Southgate Neighbourhood is a five-acre central park, which stretches over a quarter mile through the centre of the development site. The draft Concept Plan sets out to create a truly memorable place where residents and the broader Edmonds Town Centre community will want to live, shop and play.

periods, the creek has been crystal clear directly above the site,” Preissl said. “All the ponds and filtration system does nothing, because when it rains, it overflows and goes into the creek.” Preissl says the issue has been ongoing since January, and there are salmon fry farther downstream. He’s taken multiple photos and video of the problem and has contacted the city, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Environment Canada and the Pacific Salmon Foundation with his concerns. The Pacific Salmon Foundation
responded by emailing the City of Burnaby. “We hope this brings a speedy end to the pollution and immediate action to remediate the impacts to the salmonid habitat and salmonids present in the creek year round,” the email states. Despite the city’s assessment, Preissl is determined to protect the creek and solve the problem. “We’re going to get this fixed, come hell or high water,” he said. To report any spills in local creeks, rivers and streams, call the City of Burnaby as soon as possible at 604-294-7460.

Sowing the seeds of employment Jacob Zinn staff reporter
E
veryone remembers their first job, but maybe not how they got it. Now several young, tech-savvy entrepreneurs are changing the way teens and 20-somethings connect with businesses that need employees. Nicolas Stefan is one of the co-founders of Sprouthire, a Burnaby-based startup that pairs job seekers – primarily students, youth and young adults – with entry-level positions in the Lower Mainland. Unlike most job sites where it’s “post a job and hope for the best,” Sprouthire offers tools for both sides to facilitate the hiring process. It’s like Match.com for businesses and prospective employees. “It differentiates us from the other job boards - there are plenty of them, but none of them are doing what they can to connect the employer with the employee,” said Stefan, 22, who has largely overseen the growth of the site over the last year alongside co-founders Michael Ho and Bobby Singh. The idea was hatched last April by Ho, a local entrepreneur who Stefan met at the Crankworx mountain biking festival several years back. Stefan, who graduated from Capilano University with a degree in business administration in 2013, he wasn’t too sure what he wanted to do in his career, but he liked Sprouthire and asked to join the team. “I proposed to him what I had to offer as far as contacts, resources, capabilities, and it sort of stemmed from there,” he said. According to Stefan, the turnover rate in industries with
MATCHMAKER:
Burnaby-based Sprouthire offers tools for employers and job seekers to find their perfect matches. It also offers Vesumé – video resumés. Nicolas Stefan poses in one of his promotional t-shirts. Jacob Zinn/burnaby now
many entry-level positions can be quite high, making it expensive to repeatedly post job openings on some boards. “It’s very time-consuming and very costly to constantly be hiring for these positions,” he said. “We recognize that is a problem and we’ve reversed the business model.” Rather than paying to list positions with no guarantee of finding a qualified candidate, Sprouthire allows businesses to post jobs and review prospective employees for free, and only charges them if they ultimately decide they’d like to contact a job seeker. Stefan said they still can’t assure you’ll find the right person for the job, but you won’t have wasted any money if your search is fruitless. “We’re not a placement agency, but we allow you to assess
the employee as thoroughly as possible that you can essentially come to a decision whether or not you wish to employ them before spending a single penny,” he said. For job seekers, Sprouthire offers an array of features to find jobs that are relevant to their skills, close to home or school, and fit into their schedules. The site boasts proximity-based searching, showing users job openings near where they live, and Stefan has plans to better map out potential jobs. “We want to incorporate a map feature and integrate TransLink (information) and incorporate bus route features,” he said. “You input your home address, and every time you look at a job on the map, it’ll show you the suggested walking route, bus route, bike route
and time so you can plan around that.” Additionally, Sprouthire provides the ability to create a visual resumé – a more colourful way to show off your skills and experience than a traditional resumé – and the guys are hoping to popularize the Vesumé, a 60-second video pitch to tell employers about yourself. “It’s for anything that doesn’t fit in a traditional resumé,” said Stefan. “It’s your cover letter. You can tailor it specifically to each job that you apply for.” Stefan has done presentations at local high schools about Sprouthire, encouraging students to sign up. He recognizes that both sides of the business rely on each other. “A coffee shop only has to concern itself with getting clients to buy coffee. For us, we have to
concern ourselves with the users, as well as people willing to post jobs,” he said. “Without one, the other won’t come.” The site is currently offering a $500 bursary to one lucky student to put toward postsecondary education. To enter, applicants must explain in 300 words or less why they think Sprouthire is innovative for finding jobs. “It could be because it takes time away from commuting to the mall to hand out resumés or it could be because we’re a tech generation and they understand how to use the site,” said Stefan. Submissions will be accepted until 9 p.m. on Monday, June 30, and the winner will be announced on Canada Day. While all three co-founders have backgrounds with other startups, Stefan said Sprouthire is still a leap of faith for him. He said he’d like to grow the people-oriented site from its Lower Mainland roots into a nationwide job matching site. “I’ve never done anything that I’ve considered a career,” he said. “Everything that I had before this were these part-time jobs. “For me, this is my pride and joy.”
Swashbuckling author will read and wield blade THE LIVELY CITY Julie MacLellan
Y
ou just don’t get to use the word “swashbuckling” in the context of an author reading often enough. But that’s exactly what the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library has on offer.
This Friday (June 27), the library is playing host to an author reading with Sebastien de Castell for his book Traitor’s Blade. It’s the first book in his new fantasy series, and it’s described as having “swashbuckling action and rapier wit reminiscent of The Three Musketeers, Game of Thrones and Terry Pratchett.” Sebastien and fellow swordplay choreographers will finish the reading with a demonstration of their blades. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase (note
it’s cash only for purchases). It’s free, but space is limited, so register online at www.bpl. bc.ca/events, call 604-299-8955 or drop in to the library at 4595 Albert St. to sign up in person.
Tribute to librarian helps teens
Teens are being given a chance to get creative at the Burnaby Public Library. The library’s Bob Prittie (Metrotown) branch is playing host to a new series of creative workshops called Julia’s Studio
– in memory of the former teen services librarian, Julia Nelson, who passed away last year after a battle with cancer. Her parents made a gift to the library for the purpose of creating a special program for teens, and this workshop series is the result of that gift. Each Wednesday in July, teens (those heading into grades 8 through 12) can try out a new art form in a hands-on setting. On July 2, it’s Comics 101. On July 9, it’s banner making/urban intervention, with mask making on July 16 and drawing on
July 23. The Wednesday, July 30 session will cover songwriting basics. All levels of artistic ability are welcome. Teens can register for more than one session, but space is limited. Check out all the details at www.bpl.bc.ca/teens and follow the link under Programs and Events. Do you have an item for Lively City? Send arts and entertainment ideas to Julie, jmaclellan@ burnabynow.com, or find her on Twitter, @juliemaclellan.

Westcoast Seniors Future uncertain for seniors’ planning tables T
he Burnaby and New Westminster seniors’ planning tables are mulling a future without funding as the United Way is scaling back money for seniors’ programs. The tables involve gathering local seniors, at a grassroots level, to plan programs and activities they want to see in their communities. United Way had to reduce $1.6 million in spending for seniors’ pro-
grams due to a decline in donations from the public. At the same time, the charity is focusing on its Better at Home program, which helps pay for services to help seniors live in their homes longer. As for the two planning tables, they have secured “transitional” funding from July to March 2015, but after that, they will very likely be on their own. “What has been suggested to us is transition
funding is from July to March. One of our mandates is to develop a transitional and sustainability plan to go forward after that with our funding,” said gerontologist Mariam Larson, who’s paid to coordinate both tables in New West and Burnaby. “In Burnaby for example, we have had an action planning,” she said. “We’ve just started that process. It will be a seniors’ driven process, it’s about what
the seniors members want to do. … It may be about exploring other sources of funding,” Larson said. Larson said the seniors would like the planning tables to continue, but what that will look like is unknown at this point. If the groups decide they want a paid coordinator, then they will have to find alternate sources of funding, or they may see pg. 13 …

Planning tables deciding how to move forward … from pg. 12 decide to do everything with volunteer labour. “It will continue to evolve,” Larson said. The United Way’s Jennifer Young said they met with the seniors’ planning tables on June 12. “Representatives from the planning tables were told that their applications for funding through to the end of March 2015 had been received and were being processed,” she said in an emailed statement. “The discussion also touched on the future – given changes in the senior sector and the establishment of Better at Home, are there new ways
to operate the tables?” In a past interview with the NOW, the charity’s CEO said no funding agreements are permanent. “Contracts expire all the time; funding commitments expire all the time,” said Michael McKnight, United Way CEO. “I can never tell you that any organization will be funded indefinitely.” On Friday, the provincial government announced another $2 million in funding for Better at Home, which is available in 46 locations across B.C., including Burnaby and New Westminster. The Burnaby planning table is called Voices of
Burnaby Seniors, and membership is open to any seniors or community groups and agencies wishing to get involved. In 2007, Voices of Burnaby Seniors published a survey on what local citizens, 65 and older, identified as important issues. (Housing, transportation and support services were among the main issues identified.) According to Statistics Canada, Burnaby’s over 65 population increased from 25,955 in 2001 to 28,140 in 2006. That number is expected to rise as the baby boomers age. For more on Voices of Burnaby Seniors, go to www.burnabyseniors.org.

Society helps newcomers C
society that both shares and celebrates the contributions of the peoples of all ethnic and cultural origins.” Specifically, the organization helps newcomers to settle successfully, to celebrate their heritage and works to advocate for public policy to ensure equity and access for all. For seniors, they offer an outreach program and an elder abuse program, along with a variety of other resources for individuals of all ages. Their elder abuse workshops focus on the issue of seniors who may be abused by family members, caregivers, and others – in the form of physical, sexual, financial or emotional abuse. It’s estimated that about eight per cent of older adults in B.C. are likely to experience abuse, but it’s likely the overall number is higher due to the likelihood of low reporting. Shame or guilt may stop the person from reporting the problem; on the other hand, the perpetrator may be a loved family member that they may feel com-
oming to a new country – with a new language, culture and social expectations – can be confusing and overwhelming for anyone at any age. But for seniors, who have already lived most of their lives somewhere else, it’s a uniquely challenging event. For some newcomers, there are also the additional challenges of having spent time as a refugee or in a war-torn country. And in a city like Burnaby, where there are thousands of residents, dozens of cultures and languages and a multitude of communities, it can be hard to know where to start. The Burnaby Multicultural Society provides a variety of programs and resources for newcomers of all ages, but some that are specifically intended for seniors. The society’s goal is to help integrate new Canadians as full, functional and valued citizens. Their mission statement reads, in part: “The BMS promotes the development of an integrated, multicultural

We have professional cyclists coming to town to race in the Giro di Burnaby and accommodations are needed from July 9-10 for both male and female athletes. Finding the funds to finance trips to races is difficult for most professional cyclists and their presence in Burnaby at the Giro is made possible by the generosity and hospitality of local hosting families. Being a host family is a great opportunity to see inside the world of competitive cycling and to be close to the action on race day! For more information visit: hosthousing@girodiburnaby.com “…Pieter made a lasting impression on our young son, who participated in his first triathlon this year, wearing Pieter’s number on his bike! We are hoping Pieter returns to our home again this year as we want to show him our son’s finisher medal. What a wonderful experience it was having Pieter stay with us!” – Billet Host, Giro di Burnaby Media sponsor PRESENTS

Idling fine for the vehicle, not the environment CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS
Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: I’ve been a school psychologist since 1978. In my current assignment, half an hour before the end of the school day, parents begin parking in a row outside the front door
$ of the school buildings and sit in their cars, with the engines running, until dismissal. I laughed at their poor judgment and wasted gas. If Wiki-answers is right about an average idling car using 0.8 gallons per hour, they are spending $256.96 over the course of 180 school days, at current gas prices. Then I came home and told my husband about it. He’s retired and goes out for coffee three mornings a week. He told me that he drives to the coffee shop over an hour before it opens so he can

sit in his favourite parking spot and listen to his favourite CDs on his truck’s CD player. Those parents running their cars outside the school buildings look like wise decision-makers by comparison. Does idling a Toyota Tacoma for over an hour at a time hurt the engine? – Ann RAY: I think the Wikianswers estimate is high, Ann. I’d guess an idling car uses closer to a quarter of a gallon an hour. Maybe a third.

TOM: But that’s still throwing away a dollar an hour just to sit there. Not to mention the five or 10 pounds of carbon dioxide you’re adding to the environment during that time. RAY: Unfortunately, we can’t help you by claiming that it’s bad for the car – the car really doesn’t care. In fact, as long as the cooling system is functioning properly, idling is pretty easy on the car; the engine’s not working hard, and the rest of the car is just sitting there.

Junior Lakers trade for two ’95s Tom Berridge sports editor
Chung Chow/burnaby now
Rookie of the year? Tyler Vogrig, left, has been lighting the way for the Burnaby Lakers resurgence in B.C. junior A lacrosse in recent
games.
A Jr. A Laker coming-of-age story Tom Berridge
sports editor
In many ways, 18-yearold Tyler Vogrig personifies the Burnaby Lakers’ 2014 junior A season. The aged-up Burnaby junior has grown into his role as an offensive leader on a Lakers team that has vastly improved over last season’s dismal 1-20-0 record. Athough Burnaby still lingers near the bottom of the eight-team B.C. Junior Lacrosse League ladder, this season’s Lakers bear no resemblance to the
group that took the floor in 2013. In fact, the junior Lakers have shown positive growth in the month of June after the first-year Vogrig returned to the lineup after a three-game suspension that occured in Nanaimo. Since then, Burnaby won its third game of the season, and the young Vogrig has appeared to have found his way. In his last four games, Vogrig has 17 points, including nine goals in his last two games. Sunday’s 8-6 loss to the
nationally third-ranked Coquitlam Adanacs at home just might be the moment when the Lakers and Vogrig came of age. “The past few games we’ve been playing really good,” said Vogrig, who figured in on all the scoring, including four goals. “(Without a full lineup) everyone has to chip in as much as we can. It’s a team effort, really. But we’ve come a long way.” When Vogrig was taken first overall by the Lakers in last year’s midget draft, he thought he was coming to a “team in progress,”
he said. “I came here to make a difference, and the coaches here are helping me to make that difference,” he said. “I’ve been playing with my brother (Ryan), who’s two years older than me, since I was 12. When I came up here, I feel I’m playing at my own age level. That’s what I feel like.” Few would like to question Vogrig’s assertion. Last week, the Lakers held on for two periods against the first-
place New Westminster Salmonbellies, with Vogrig counting a career-high five goals, including Burnaby’s last four goals from the second period on. New Westminster put its foot down in the final frame, outscoring To view the home team 6-1 a video, for an 15-8 win on scan June 19. with X a n d e r Layar McDonald made his first start in goal for Burnaby, turning aside 46 shots, including 22 saves in the second Juniors Page 20
Time to make some hay on the power play Tom Berridge sports editor
The Burnaby Lakers closed out a busy week of Western associaton lacrosse with a 10-8 overtime win over the Maple Ridge Burrards on Friday. The victory avenged an earlier 12-8 road loss to the Burrards that began the difficult three-gamesin-six-days week. First star Robert Church, from Dane Stevens and Alex Gajic, tallied the game-winner 46 seconds into the 10-minute extra-time period at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Stevens potted his team-leading 12th goal of the season into an
empty net with just 14 seconds left in overtime. The win boosted Burnaby’s season record to 5-3-0, tying the Lakers with Maple Ridge and the Langley Thunder for second place overall. Burnaby currently has two games in hand over the Burrards and has also played two games less than Langley. The two teams traded goals through the first three periods after Alex Gajic’s game-opening tally midway through the first frame. Burnaby had to play catchup for the next period and a half until Ilija Gajic gave the home side a momentary 7-6 lead midway through the third period on
his ninth marker of the year from Scott Jones. Stevens put Burnaby into the lead again but Jarrett Davis, with his second goal of the game, forced OT with a late goal at 16:21. With Church, one of three pro players shortlisted for the National Lacrosse League rookie of the year, back in the lineup, Burnaby’s power play has been sizzling. The Lakers have scored 10 times on a dozen chances over the last three games, including nine of 11 in their last two wins over Langley and Maple Ridge. Church, the Lakers’ first-round pick in the 2013 junior draft has been in on seven of Burnaby’s
goals on the extra man in the last two games. Stevens is also cashing in on the power play with a leagueleading seven counters. “Our power play has kept us in the game these last two games.” said assistant Lakers coach Gordie Gimple. “It just shows how tough defences are in this league.” Burnaby’s power play currently tops the league with 19 goals in eight games and a stellar 51.35 efficiency percentage. The Lakers have an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the lower-table teams this weekend. Lakers Page 20
The Burnaby Lakers acquired a pair of 1995 runners in two separate B.C. Junior Lacrosse League trades last week. The junior A Lakers picked up 5-11 lefthander Josh McLaughlin from New Westminster for future considerations on June 19, a day after acquiring the playing rights of second-year intermediate Connor McKay from the Delta Islanders. McLaughlin had two goals in two games with the junior ’Bellies and a shooting average of 33.33 per cent this season. McKay, who has yet to play intermediate or junior lacrosse this season, was dealt to the Lakers in return for defender Quinton Bradley and futures. “We’ve spoken to (McKay) and from what we understand he’s keen to play here,” said Burnaby general manager Brad Hara. “We need a lefty. We’ve been lucky with our trades this year.” In a third deal last week, Burnaby also sent Randy Jones to Brampton for future considerations. Earlier, Burnaby picked up the playing rights to Cain Mydske in return for its second-round draft pick in 2015, but later wound up dealing the reluctant New Westminster product to Langley for the Salmonbellies’ 2015 second-round pick in a threeclub swap this Saturday. New Westminster picked up perhaps the biggest prize so far in the endof-season deals. The junior ’Bellies acquired final-year righthander Brett Dobray from Langley as the future considerations for the earlier May 27 deal that sent Riley Glemnitz to the Thunder. Dobray brings more than 100 career goals and 200 points over his three years of junior A lacrosse. Last year, the 6-0 righthander scored a careerhigh 46 goals and recorded 94 points for the Thunder. The junior A trade deadline is Monday, June 30.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Eight named to B.C. Games team Burnaby placed eight athletes on Team B.C. for the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver next month. Jenny Chang and Jennifer Wong will compete in 10- and five-pin bowling, respectively, while Heather Ma, Sammy Langthorne and Selena Lepper will take to the water in aquatics. April Armstrong is the lone track and field athlete from Burnaby on the 276-member B.C. team. Artisia Wong and Christina Tomingas will both compete in rhythmic gymnastics. Team B.C. will be sending its largest team ever to the Summer Games, which will be held in Vancouver from July 8 to 12.
Athletes will compete for gold, silver and bronze medals in 11 sports, including basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, soccer and softball. The Special Olympics Summer Games are the first national games to be held in B.C. since 1990. The Canada Games are a qualifier for the Special Olympics World Games, which will be held in Los Angeles in 2015. “Team B.C. has a dedicated and talented group of athletes and coaches who have been working hard for three years to reach this level,” said Team B.C. chef de mission Shawn Fevens in a press release. tberridge@burnabynow. com
NBBC boxer wins second outing Super welterweight boxer Cory Tuttenham scored his second straight win in the amateur boxing ring. The 18-year-old North Burnaby Boxing club pugilist scored a recent second-round technical knockout over Andrew Severs of the Fernie Old School Boxing Club at the Rumble in the Rockies on June 14. A second North Burnaby club fighter Phil Ryan also won his light heavyweight bout by a TKO in the middle round over Larry Power. Ali Nadeem was unsuccessful in his middleweight match against Ricky Miller of Fernie. Nadeem, 22, lost a three-round decision. “One lost by decision and two wins by TKO. I think it’s very good,” said NBBC coach and former Romanian champion Mihai Afloarei. Afloarei also handles current B.C. and Western Canadian heavyweight champion Adam Querido, who has announced his intention to turn pro. “I told (Adam) if he wants to fight professionally, he has to take it seriously,” said Afloarei. “We want to work for two or three years together and see what happens.” Afloarei hopes to get Querido a tune-up fight sometime in the summer.

period. But it is clear, that the Lakers are beginning to see the speedy righthander as a leader on the floor. “Even though I’m younger, I motivate my guys to keep pushing,” he said. “Right now, we’re going up from here. “This game and the one before, we’ve come close. We had them worried. We’re doing something right.” Burnaby will be in Port Coquitlam on Friday, before returning to the Copeland centre for another matchup with New Westminster. Game time is 7 p.m.
