City, Kinder Morgan at odds over mountain Mayor Derek Corrigan has vowed to push back on Kinder Morgan’s attempts to survey Burnaby Mountain for a pipeline route. Meanwhile, the oil company is planning to ask the National Energy Board to go over the city’s head. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said the com-

access to those lands,” he said in a conference call with media on Friday. Anderson indicated the company would apply to the city and the NEB concurrently, and he expected the process would take weeks, not months. The city, which is staunchly opposed to the pipeline expansion, rejected the company’s informal query to drill holes on the mountain, which is a dedicated park and conservation area.

According to Corrigan, consultants (who did not initially identify themselves as affiliates of Kinder Morgan) asked city staff if they could drill holes in the park. “Staff treated it as anyone coming in and making an inquiry. We said, ‘Well, it’s not likely we’re going to give you approval to start digging up a park,’ and that was the limit of the discussion,” Corrigan said. Afterwards,

city staff confirmed the consultants were working with Kinder Morgan, he added. The relationship between the two parties has soured, and Anderson said Burnaby has broken off contact. “Since we filed our application in December, virtually all communication with Burnaby has been terminated by them,” Anderson said.

Canada captured bronze at the 2014 Quidditch Global Games at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex Saturday. The international competition drew teams from seven countries to compete for global supremacy in the Harry Potterinspired sport. The Canucks went 4-2 in the round-robin portion of the one-day tournament, falling to eventual repeat champions U.S.A. and to Australia, who would go on to take silver. The home team rallied in the bronze medal game, however, defeating Team U.K. 60-40 with a snitch snatch from seeker Alexander Graham. “Everybody left everything on the pitch that last game,” said Rebecca Alley, a Burnaby native and assistant coach with

the team. It was the first time Alley, who recently wrapped up four years of playing at the University of Ottawa, had had a chance to showcase quidditch in her hometown. Friends and family were surprised and impressed by the fast pace and physicality of the full-contact, co-ed game, she said. “My grandma talked to me after one of the games and she said that she just has a whole new respect for the sport of quidditch and what I’ve been doing for the last four years,” Alley said. The Canadian team also had a decided hometown advantage when it came to fan support at the local venue, she said. An estimated 1,000 people came out to check out the unusual sport, and most put their support behind Team Canada. “It was just really really cool to experience that because none of us had ever played in a situation with that many spectators all cheering for us,” Alley said. “The entire stand was full and there were people standing along the fence and they were all cheering for us.”

Officer was ‘author of his own misfortune’ RCMP report reveals more details about spat over parking spot

Warning: Language in this story may offend some readers.

Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The off-duty Burnaby RCMP officer who was docked six days’ pay for uttering sexually explicit insults at a woman who stole his parking spot wasn’t the only one with a foul mouth in the altercation. In the adjudication report obtained by the NOW, more

details have arisen regarding the argument the two had outside the Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Langley on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve 2011. The agreed statement of facts notes that Harinder Paul Pabla was waiting for a parking spot to open with his turn signal on when Jessica Olive took the space. Pabla ended up parking a short distance away, and as he walked toward the mall entrance, he told Olive that he had been waiting for the spot with his signal on. “She curtly replied, ‘I didn’t see your f**king blinker,’ and continued walking,” reads the statement. “Rather than leave it at that, (Pabla) suggested to (Olive)

that she ought to get a lighter pair of sunglasses, and she replied, ‘Well, maybe you should consider not being a f**king dick,’ and gave him the finger.” The statement continues with several sexually explicit comments from Pabla, to which Olive kicked him in the leg and knee and hit him with her purse. As they walked toward the mall entrance, Olive told him to stop following her and dropped a series of F-bombs, then uttered a racial slur before advancing toward him “in an aggressive manner, as if she was intent on assaulting him again.” At this point, Pabla pulled out his badge, identified himself as a

tion was, in fact, vice versa. Pabla was acquitted of the charge, and the judge decided that he acted in self-defence “in response to the unprovoked assault she perpetrated against him while he was walking past her.” Nonetheless, the judge noted that Pabla had “been the author of his own misfortune” and that his “demeanour, tone, use of sarcasm and gutterspeak” was unacceptable for a 16-year RCMP officer. The disciplinary decision noted that Pabla’s off-duty actions go against the RCMP’s core values and the adjudication board upheld the forfeiture of six days’ pay.

cop and told her that she could be arrested if she assaulted him again. Olive turned around to head back toward the mall entrance and Pabla headed the same direction to go to the dentist. “(Pabla) proceeded to walk past her, intending to give her a wide berth. As he did so, she swung her purse at him, hitting him in the groin and head area. He swung his arm at her to ward off further blows, contacting her shoulder, then continued towards and into the mall to the adjacent dentist office.” While Olive told police that Pabla had assaulted her, a judge ruled last August that the situa-

Burnaby and New Westminster is the only sub-region in Metro Vancouver that didn’t experience an increase in annual bus boardings between 2010 and 2013, according to Translink’s 2013 Bus Service Performance Review released last week. While the two cities actually saw a two per cent increase in boardings between 2012 and 2013, their three-year rate was flat, unlike the rest of the metro region, which saw a combined three per cent increase over the same period. Annual service hours for the two cities remained nearly the same, at 471,000 hours in 2013 compared to 469,000 in 2010. But the cost per boarded passenger decreased 3.2 per cent, from $1.34 in 2010 to $1.29, due in part because of an increased use of mini-buses, which are cheaper to run.

OUR VIEW

And while we, too, support the effort, we think it’s important to note that healthy choices start before we wheel our shopping cart down the grocery store aisle. It starts with meal planning and cooking from scratch rather than graband-go meals from a fast food outlet. It starts with walking to the corner grocer for a carton of milk instead of taking the car. It starts with sending our kids to the park to play rather than allowing end-

less hours of screen time indoors. Easier-to-read food labels are a welcome step in the effort to build a nation of healthier eaters.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City needs to cooperate more Dear Editor:

Re: City needs to put out political fire, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, July 16 It is very encouraging to see that common sense does still exist in Burnaby. Her assessment of the situation with respect to potential fires is spot on. It is extremely disappointing that Mayor Corrigan does not share this view. I would expect Mayor Corrigan and city council to be managing the situation with Kinder Morgan to ensure that any problem is dealt with expeditiously. Instead, they seem to be doing their best to be uncooperative and obstructive. So now we can expect that in the event of a disastrous situation occurring,

the result will be even worse than it could have been. This is not the behaviour I expect from elected officials. I wonder if Ms. Gillies would be willing to run for mayor. Gordon Foy, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pipeline means pricier gas continued from page 6

expand the Trans Mountain pipeline system. In there he will find that the company tells the Canadian regulator crude oil prices in Canada will rise if the expansion is approved. Then, he needs to listen to Ian Anderson’s presentation to investor analysts in Houston, Texas, last January before commenting on my letter. My letter points out what Kinder Morgan says about its pipeline’s expansion leading to higher crude oil prices in Canada and how Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, misled Burnaby NOW readers, when he tried to massage the message for public relations purposes. In trying to promote the expansion project’s dubious economic benefit, Kinder Morgan has claimed vast increases in the price of crude oil for all oil produced in Western Canada. If the company is going to make wild claims about windfall profits to oil producers because of higher crude oil prices – by as much as $25 per barrel according to Mr. Anderson – then they have to take responsibility for what those higher prices mean to domestic refineries who purchase Western Canadian crude and ultimately how these higher prices are passed onto consumers and businesses. Mr. Stoness tries to suggest that Western Canadian and U.S. refineries would absorb a price increase of as much as $25 per barrel on Western Canadian crude. This is absurd. Refineries faced with such price increases in their feedstock costs will – as in the past – pass them onto us. What I find particularly fascinating, however, is Kinder Morgan will address

this issue in an open letter through the Burnaby NOW but aggressively avoids it at the NEB hearing. As an intervenor, I asked “does Trans Mountain believe that the cost of gasoline at the pumps, and the cost of other petroleum product prices facing end users may be a public interest issue?” The answer I received was a refusal to answer: “Trans Mountain acknowledges that the price of gasoline and other petroleum prices facing end users is of interest to the public, … however, the information request is not relevant to one or more of the issues identified in the National Energy Board’s list of issues for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project.” Robyn Allan, via email

Where are the oil jobs?

Dear Editor:

I have sat and read how the pipelines (Enbridge and Kinder Morgan ) were needed to get our oil from Alberta to the ports of B.C. and all the construction jobs they are going to make, but no one seems to speak up and say how many good jobs would be made here in Canada if the oil is refined here instead of overseas and then shipped from here. The refinery and downstream jobs for Canadians young and old would be huge, but it seems our federal and provincial governments don’t seem to be concerned about things like that. That is seen in our logs leaving here and also a lot of our minerals. It seems our people in high places are not concerned about the ordinary Canadian and good value-added jobs that should be made here, not somewhere else. Denis Franks, Burnaby

Carbon tax: Emissions decreasing continued from page 6

hikes that would inevitably be passed onto consumers. No wonder the NDP doesn’t talk about the tax much these days. But the carbon tax also appears to be having the desired impact on what it is supposed to do: lead to a reduction in the use of carbon. According to Sustainable Prosperity, an Ottawa-based “green” research group, fossil fuel use in B.C. has dropped by 16 per cent since the tax came in. Meanwhile, fossil fuel use in the rest of Canada has actually gone up three per cent in that same time period. And as for Australia, well, its status as one of the world’s worst greenhouse gas emitters per capita

will continue. The country relies heavily on its vast reserves of cheap coal for its supply of electricity. The country has also blown about a $7 billion hole in government revenues over the next four years, which will undoubtedly have negative repercussions for the delivery of health care, education and social services. I’m not sure whether the opposite experiences of B.C. and Australia when it comes to a carbon tax means people of one jurisdiction are any more or less environmentally friendly than those in the other. But I do think there’s a lesson here about how to introduce new taxes, whether they are carbon-related or not. The lesson is this: if a government is going to

create a new tax, do it just before an election campaign and not immediately after one. The B.C. Liberals did that with a carbon tax but failed to do so with the HST. The party was badly bruised and was forced to dump its leader, but still won another term in power. The Australian Labor party implemented the carbon tax like the B.C. Liberals handled the HST, and subsequently chewed up two of its leaders before being booted from power. Playing games with taxes can be very dangerous for governments. B.C.’s carbon tax is an example of the right way of playing the game. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Kinder Morgan: City plans to refuse access

SUMMER ADVENTURE LIVES IN

WHISTLER

Corrigan said he wants Kinder Morgan to get on with it, put a formal application in so the city can reject it, and then he will deal with the National Energy Board. “Get your formal refusal, and get on with your National Energy Board application,” he said. “But if the National Energy Board is going to order us to do that, then do so, and we’ll comply to the National Energy Board order, … but we want a chance to go in and argue before the National Energy Board why they shouldn’t grant that order.” Last week, the board announced the pipeline hearing would be delayed by seven months, because the board needed more information on the Burnaby Mountain route. The new line was originally supposed to run through Derek Corrigan Burnaby’s Westridge neighbourhood, mayor but that plan was dropped because of opposition from local residents. Kinder Morgan changed the preferred route to Burnaby Mountain in April, roughly four months after filing the project application with the NEB. Now, the company wants to either drill or tunnel through the mountain to connect the tank farm to the Westridge Marine Terminal, where tankers fill up with crude. The tunnelling option is more expensive but would also allow Kinder Morgan to move the existing Ian Anderson pipeline out of Westridge and run it Kinder Morgan through the mountain instead. Corrigan also expressed concern about the new plan. “Tunnelling is not good. It has a lot of issues,” he said. “The initial assessment we’ve got is the mountain is not particularly stable. It may not be seismically safe. … You can imagine if that oil starts spilling through the mountain internally. That’s a problem that will take a thousand years to fix.”

Inquest underway in Burnaby shooting death Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A coroner’s inquest is underway in Burnaby into the shooting death of Ryan Jacob. Jacob was shot and killed by a Burnaby RCMP officer on Jan. 31, 2013 following an incident in the 4100 block of Albert Street. The 45-year-old allegedly threatened a friend he was visiting in Burnaby with a knife before turning on responding Burnaby RCMP officers. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. was brought in to investigate the circumstances of the death and concluded that the officer who shot Jacob three times

had not committed an offence and therefore no charges were laid. During the inquest, evidence concerning Jacob’s death will be presented to presiding coroner Margaret Janzen and a jury who will then have an opportunity to make recommendations “aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future,” stated the press release. According to coroner spokesperson Barbara McLintock, the inquest will likely run for about three days with recommendations expected either Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning. Jacob was the son of Squamish First Nation chief Gilbert “Gibby” Jacob and Vivian Jacob.

Securities commission targets Burnaby man Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The B.C. Securities Commission has found that Adis Golic was illegally distributing securities from a boiler-room operation in Burnaby roughly seven years ago. The decision is no surprise, as Golic (also known as Ady) was sentenced in 2012 to 60 days in jail and forced to pay back $40,000 to a retired couple he took money from while illegally selling shares. Golic was raising money for a company that was purportedly developing a muffler that reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 97 per cent, something the Crown’s expert considered bogus. The B.C. Securities Commission panel is now banning Golic from trading or buying in securities. He’s not allowed to buy exchange contracts either, and he’s prohibited from becoming a director or

officer of any company selling securities for seven years. The panel, which was waiting for the criminal case to run its course, announced the restrictions against Golic on Wednesday. According to a 2008 press release from the B.C. Securities Commission, the agency issued a temporary cease trade order against Golic (and his two related companies AD Capital U.S. Inc. and Adcapital Adis Golic Industries Inc.) after restricted trader simultaneous raids on Golic’s home and a room on Royal Oak Avenue, in Burnaby, where 10 people were allegedly promoting securities to potential investors over the phone.

Diane Roy’s sculptural work now on exhibit LIVELY CITY Jacob Zinn

S

ummer’s the time when many people either get out of town to some exotic destination or stick around and relax in the comfort of their own home. But whether you’re staying in the city this week or being a tourist in surrounding neighbourhoods, there’s Burnaby artwork to take in across the Lower Mainland. At Deer Lake Gallery, check out “Corallia,” an exhibition of sculptural

work by Diane Roy, on now through Aug. 9. The display showcases Roy’s extensive collection of fibre sculptures modelled after marine life and made from such materials as linen, cotton and nylon. “Roy’s work is marked with endurance and devotion to the laborious processes of knotting, bending, weaving and crocheting fibres,” reads a release about the exhibit. “Her fibre sculptures are reminiscent of sometimes familiar and other times fantastical marine creatures.” Roy was raised in Northern Québec and received a BA in fine art and education from the University of Québec in Chicoutimi. She has been a resident of British

Columbia since 1986. For more information on Roy’s work, visit her website, fibreart.ca.

Painting it up in Wesburn Park

If you feel like making some art of your own, the city’s arts development program wouldn’t mind a few extra hands for the repainting of its Wesburn Community Centre mural. For the first time in over 30 years, the mural on the outside of the building is getting painted over with a new design, depicting stories with elements of family and nature, as well as a theme of apple trees in honour of the orchards that used to be in the area. Artists Todd Polich, Valerie Methot and Anna

Talbot worked with residents in the spring to develop the theme. The program is hosting free community painting sessions on Thursdays, July 24 and 31 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., with a final public painting opportunity at the Wesburn family picnic on Wednesday, Aug. 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Anyone interested can drop by the centre at 4781 Parkwood Ave.

The show runs from July 26 to Aug. 9 and features Studio 58 graduates Corina Akeson and Andrea Yu, both of Burnaby. Akeson has performed professionally in theatres across Canada and the U.S., and Yu has worked as the dramaturge intern at Solo Collective Theatre and currently works as the artistic associate at Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre.

Local pianists win in national competition Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Two teenage Burnaby musicians are among winners in their age categories at the 2014 Canadian Music Competition in Quebec. Jasper Liang, 13, and Scott Xiao, 15, were recognized for their talent on the ivories at the national contest, which saw 268 Canadian musicians from ages seven to 30 display their skills. Pianists Richard He and Michelle Lin, as well as violinist Guang Lu Li, were among the 22 B.C. performers selected for the national finals. The Canadian Music Competition is Canada’s premiere music competition for young classical performers, designed to nurture Canada’s future professional musicians and prepare them for the rigorous world of elite-level competition. “The Canadian Music Competition is not a mere contest where contend-

ers are compared against each other,” stated Vincent Lauzer, the CMC’s Artistic Ambassador for 2014. “It’s a unique occasion for the public to discover and encourage young developing musicians and emerging professionals.” The grand prize winners for the agerange categories included, Leonid Nediak of Kingston on piano, seven to 10; Mariya Orlenko of Coquitlam on piano, 11 to 14; Kerry Waller of Montreal on piano, 19 to 30 years old; and a three-way tie between cellist Mari Coetzee of Calgary, pianist Samuel B. Gagnon of Quebec City and violinist Ladusa Chang-Ou of Brossard, Que., for the 15 to 18 category. Past winners of the Canadian Music Competition include such names as MarcAndré Hamelin, Angela Hewitt, Louis Lortie, Robert Silverman, James Ehnes, Jane Coop, Liona Boyd, Scott Goodyear, Isabel Bayrakdarian and Susan Hoeppner.

“Always keeping our patients smiling”

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Monday commuters caught in SkyTrain chaos staff reporter

The second large-scale SkyTrain meltdown in five days caused havoc for Burnaby and New Westminster commuters Monday. An electrical-panel malfunction wiped out power to the Expo and Millennium lines at 12:30 p.m., and full service did not resume until 5:30 p.m. The system failure, which came on the heels of a computer-card problem that had shut down the system just four days earlier, trapped commuters on crippled trains for hours. Many walked the tracks to the nearest station while others waited for the trains to be manually driven. Bus lineups at some stations were described on social media as “insane.” The Burnaby NOW caught up with commuters at the shuttered Production Way-University station on the Millennium Line to ask them what they thought of Tuesday’s transit chaos. Here’s what they had to say:

Bill Huang

Joe Frederick

“It’s pretty annoying because this already happened last week, right. It’s the second time in a week, so it’s pretty annoying. The price of the tickets is going up, but the quality of the service is going down. That’s unfair, right.”

“Something like this happened only a few days ago, so it’s kind of annoying. They only told us when we got on the bus from school to down here that it was closed, so we had no idea how to plan ahead. Something like this can really just cause a lot of trouble and cost a lot of time.”

Shauna Jessop

Alejandro Guillen

“It’s kind of annoying. Now I’m not going to be able to get to school. I don’t have my teacher’s number to call her to let her know. It’s at home. Now I have to go all the way home to phone her.”

“They should have somebody telling people what is going on, right. I just see a sign and there’s no one else to tell you.”

Shane Droucker “It’s a little bit awkward for people that are trying to get places. I myself had a meeting I was supposed to get to, and I wasn’t able to get to it, but, you know what? The infrastructure of transit is invaluable for any global city, and I think we need to back them up as much as we can. It’s probably not an easy thing to keep going.”

Alex Deline “It’s certainly very inconvenient and considering the problems that we had a couple of days ago. You think they’d have backups or something to manage this sort of thing. … To see something like this, this can’t be ordinary, not for the whole system to be down like this.”

important ritual between closing an encounter with one patient and being fully present for another. When health-care providers are rushing from patient to patient, not only are they less likely to clean their hands sufficiently, they are more likely to be inattentive and make mistakes. When we are not observant, thoughtful and listening, we miss out on valuable clues, jump to the wrong diagnosis and fail to really help that patient. An experienced clinician develops intuition, and a wise one attends to it. If our diagnosis doesn’t quite match all the symptoms and physical findings or if we feel that we are missing out on some cru-

This can have a snowball effect to the detriment of every patient seen that day. So I teach mindfulness meditation to patients, medical students, residents and colleagues. With each patient’s visit, that patient must be the centre of our attention. We must listen carefully, ask the right questions and perform an appropriate and focused physical examination. We must consider a broad differential diagnosis. What conditions may explain these symptoms and physical findings? We don’t

settle for the most common diagnosis, especially if it doesn’t quite fit. We consider less common and more serious possibilities. Health-care providers can easily fall into a mindless routine, rushing from patient to patient, asking a rapid-fire list of oft rehearsed clichéd medical questions, jumping to the most common diagnosis, not really seeing the person in front of them and moving on to the next in line. If you ever get the feeling that the doctor is rushing and may have jumped to the wrong diagnosis, there are ways of triggering a pause and reflection.

Lakers clinch WLA playoff spot with back-to-back one-goal wins Tom Berridge

The Burnaby Lakers are in. The senior A Lakers got the goalkeeping they needed from Tyler Richards and a big weekend they wanted from Casey Jackson to earn a berth in the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs. Jackson scored the game-winning goal in overtime to defeat the Coquitlam Adanacs 7-6 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Friday. He then led Burnaby, with a teamhigh six points, to an 8-7 playoffclinching victory over the Burrards in Maple Ridge on Sunday. Jackson helped spark a pivotal four-goal second period, scoring once and assisting on the three other tallies, including game star Scott Jones’ second of the game. Tyler Richards was on form again, stopping 33 shots for his sixth win of the season. Tyler Digby got the game-winner from Dane Stevens and Jackson at 15:34 of the third period. On Friday, clinching a spot in the post season might have seemed a world away for the Lakers. In a game many in attendance believed Burnaby had no business

winning, the Lakers came on in the final 20 minutes to take their first lead of the game on Jason Jones’ second goal of the game at 17:40 of the third period. That lead was erased by Matt Delmonico a minute later, but Richards was perfect after that, stopping all eight Coquitlam shots in the 10-minute extra time. Jackson beat first-star Adam Shute with a high shot to the far corner on a power play at 2:33. “It was rough out there,” admitted Jackson after the game. “Some guys thrive on it, but eventually by the third period the ball started to drop for us.” The win was an important one for the Lakers. It put off the outcome of the season series matchup with the Adanacs, who cannot catch Burnaby, in the team’s final home game on Aug. 1. New Westminster can still mathematically catch the Lakers, but with three games left to play and four points back of the Lakers, they would need a perfect scenerio in order to use the season-series’ trump card over Burnaby. Burnaby stumbled through the first period trailing 2-1, but did man-

age to momentarily tie the score 3-3 on Jones’ first of the night on a transition tally midway through the middle frame. Most of the praise had to go to the Burnaby back end for keeping Coquitlam at bay and Richards, who turned away 39 shots in goal. Jackson said it’s a source of pride for the Lakers to win in their own arena and this season has To view been a struggle. a video, Friday’s victory was just scan the third W in eight starts with at home this year, while Layar Sunday’s road win was Burnaby’s sixth in seven starts. “Maybe it got to us after a few losses and we’re holding our sticks too tight,” he admitted. “But when it’s this close, losing any game is heartbreaking. … I think every game is a must-win. We know it has playoff implications. We want to show we can come out and dominate.” The Lakers are on the road this weekend and travel to Vancouver Island for a two-game set against Victoria on Friday and Nanaimo on Saturday. Burnaby will close out the season on Aug. 1 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre against Coquitlam.

RUGBY

B.C. beats Uruguay in international test B.C. Rugby scored one of its best-ever international victories on the final leg of a tour to South America. The B.C. Bears, including five starters from the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, edged Uruguay’s senior men’s national team 21-20 in Montevideo on Saturday. The win was the first time B.C.’s provincial team has beaten a full international test side since the Bears downed Russia 38-16 in 2009. Some of B.C.’s biggest wins occurred well in the past, when B.C. upset Australia 11-8 in 1958, the British Lions 8-3 in 1966 and Scotland 22-13 in 1985. “We were obviously very pleased with the result and proud of the effort

of the players,” said B.C. Bears director of rugby Jim Dixon in a press release. “It was an incredibly physical game and our scrum was under a lot of pressure.” Burnaby Lake’s Micha Govorchin and No. 8 Admir Cejvanovic of Burnaby were among the B.C. forwards, while scrum half Cody Rockson and centre’s Evan Thomas and Steve Battie also started for the Bears. Burnaby Lake’s Andrew Lackner, Scott MacKay and Nate Mantle backed up the B.C. starting 15. Anthony Luca was injured. B.C. will now return home in preparation for the Canadian inter-provincial rugby championship, which begins in August. – Tom Berridge

familybanking.ca When it comes to family, it’s the little things that count. And when you count up the small wins in the Unlimited Family Plan, it means big savings for the whole family. Discover this first of its kind banking product, first hand, at familybanking.ca.


The Unlimited Family Plan is full of family-focused features designed to help you save – and at a price comparable to typical single-account products, this first of its kind plan allows you to include up to 4 family members at no additional cost. The sky’s the limit.

UNLIMITED CHEQUING An unlimited chequing account that isn’t limited to just chequing. We include withdrawals, deposits, debits, bill payments … well, you get the point. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

NO WORRIES BANKING Rest easy with 2 email money transfers and 3 non-network ATM withdrawals free every month, as well as 2 forgiven overdraft fees every year. Try saving, without the trying part.

HANDSFREE SAVINGS It’s hard work running a family while trying to save for this, that and the other thing. We’ll help take the burden off your shoulders, and put the savings directly into your account. Pass the savings please!

$20 FAMILY PASS Finally there’s a fail-safe way for families to share. Everyone gets everything! Share the benefits with up to 3 more people and watch everyone’s small wins add up to big savings.

Let’s call a family meeting! If you’re interested in signing up for the Unlimited Family Plan, or if you have any questions, just call or visit us online. 604.517.0100 | familybanking.ca | #SmallWin
