Family pleads for return of stolen ashes Scott Peters knows the thieves who broke into his 80-year-old mother’s Burnaby home two weeks ago didn’t know what they were taking when they grabbed a red plastic box off a dresser.

That box contained some of the ashes of his late father, Walter, a Korean War veteran who passed away two years ago.

Alberta saw the return of a loved one’s ashes.

“Even if they’ve dumped it on the street, maybe if somebody reads the article and sees this little red plastic box, they’ll know what it is,” he said.

He noted that if the thieves still have the box, they could return it no questions asked and that he would not report them to police.

No neighbours witnessed the July 22 break-and-enter. The thief or thieves also took jewelry, coins and wine, but Peters doesn’t care about those.

“We would just like the ashes back,” he said. “We’re not worried about the jewelry or anything like that.”

Peters hopes someone might find the box, noting that a similar incident in

“My mom came home, I guess she was out shopping, and found out somebody had broken in,” said Peters. “But she didn’t find out until the next night (that the ashes were missing) because she didn’t go into dad’s room.

“I think she was in shock because she didn’t even phone the police.”

While most of the ashes were kept in an urn – which was untouched in the robbery – the crematory couldn’t fit them all into

Teachers continue pickets Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Picketing Burnaby teachers plan to stay a thorn in the side of the school district and its maintenance and building plans this summer.

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association has organized weekly pickets since July 14, targeting high visibility schools, the board office and the Schou Education Centre, which is undergoing major renovations to convert it from a professional development space to an adult education centre.

“We have, in general, a supportive board,” local union president Rae Figursky told the NOW, “but they are management, and we are kind of honour bound to do a little something.”

COIN & STAMPS

Legally, any member of the local can picket on any weekday at any school district site, she said, and it only takes one teacher to make a picket line that CUPE secretaries, plumbers and carpenters won’t cross.

The only exception is the district’s maintenance services yard.

The school board successfully applied to the Labour Relations Board for an injunction before July 14 to prevent teachers from picketing that site because no teachers work there.

“That hadn’t seemed to bother our board before July was coming, but it apparently bothered them afterwards,” said Figursky, referring to the 12 days in May and June her union had picketed the site.

inaction, both sides are going back to the bargaining table Aug. 8.

This time they need to stay there and make peace, one way or another.

Take the bargaining teams out for a Vancouver Canadians game and a couple of beers to make them friendlier.

Buy a steel shipping container and lock them inside in the hot sun until they crack and compromise. Pay for a horde of conflict-resolution experts.

At this point, maybe some marriage counselling? The whole battle has

become so vicious it seems more like a drawn-out divorce than contract talks.

Our biggest question isn’t why are the government and teachers still at each other’s throats, but why did it take this long to finally get everyone to come back and start talking again?

Summer school may have been largely cancelled, but both sides in this dispute should still have their backsides in seats and their pencils sharpened. Keep them there until they graduate to a new contract.

Teachers face summer of no pay IN MY OPINION

H

Keith Baldrey

ow many people reading this column could go 20 weeks without a paycheque, without seriously depleting your savings account or cashing in a significant amount of RRSP funds?

I suspect not many could, but that bleak scenario is precisely the one facing many teachers in B.C. as the summer progresses.

The teachers were last paid in mid-June, or thereabouts. They may not see another paycheque until mid-October, unless their union moves significantly off its bargaining position in contract talks.

And, yes, I say “union” quite deliberately. That’s because there is no way to pressure or force the government to accede to what the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is demanding at the negotiating table. This is not to say that what the BCTF is asking for is not warranted in some respects. Teachers have made a strong and compelling case, for example, that more funding is needed to address issues such as class composition.

Hiring more specialist teach-

ers, to pick just one area, would have a huge and positive impact on many classrooms.

But for all the validity of some of the BCTF’s arguments (these don’t include the ones involving their demand for a greater benefits package), there is no reason at all to expect the provincial government to suddenly fork over almost a quarter of a billion dollars, which is what the BCTF is seeking to address class composition.

I’m not the only observer to point out that in this poker game, the government holds all the cards. Not just the best cards, but all of them.

The government’s ability to legislate an end to the dispute and to impose a new contract gives it the whip hand. The BCTF may well challenge such a move in court, but that will take some time to play out if the union chooses to go down that route.

The BCTF may eventually win that ongoing court case about contract language governing class size (it has won in the B.C. Supreme Court, but the government is appealing and a potential further appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada may mean this won’t be resolved for perhaps two more years).

So unless the BCTF leadership crawls back from the edge of the cliff it has been sitting on Teachers Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SkyTrain washrooms problematic Dear Editor:

Re: Mayor is out of touch, and Mayor is right on SkyTrain, Letters to the Editor, Burnaby NOW, July 2.

The first letter, “Mayor is out of touch,” is in regard to washrooms at SkyTrain stations. Public washrooms in our neighbourhood have a history of being problematic as they have been used by IV drug users and sex-trade workers. Discussion about washrooms at SkyTrain stations has caused folks in our community to be particularly concerned about a washroom at Royal Oak station being a potential site for not only drug use and sex-trade workers to clean up but also theft from/crime affecting

innocent passengers using such a washroom at a station that sometimes has few people and seldom has SkyTrain attendants in the area. I know Mayor Corrigan to have made every effort to become aware of the realities of activity at SkyTrain stations and to stand up for and optimize efforts and practices for the safety of Burnaby residents and visitors throughout our city, including safety on transit.

The second letter, “Mayor is right on SkyTrain,” supports our mayor’s disagreement on the proposed SkyTrain expansion. This letter ends with the following paragraph: “Incidentally, when the gates are installed, surely there will be less requirement for police fare checkers to monitor passengers. Can we therefore expect

Ticket checking helps cops Thoughts on Gaza war Dear Editor:

a reduction in these staff members?”

Police cannot ask an individual for ID without cause to do so, therefore someone not having a paid fare is a means by which police are able to request identification and therefore identify people who, for example, have outstanding warrants or conditions that do not allow them on SkyTrain. Thus fare checking also serves a greater benefit that contributes to a safer transit experience.

I would invite those unfamiliar with the realities of activity and policing on and around our transit system to visit the Metro Vancouver Transit Police website (www.transitpolice.bc.ca) and also to subscribe to their newsletter.

In addition to better understanding criminal activity – such as bus driver assaults – and safety tips, the website identifies the distance, number of vehicles and physical locations Transit Police cover while working to ensure optimal transit safety – 134 kilometres of rail, bus service covering 1,800 square kilometres (New Westminster Police cover 15 square kilometres) on 200 different routes and 1,400 buses per day, 57 SkyTrain stations plus a number of bus exchanges and SeaBus. The Evergreen Line will add 11 kilometres and six more stations.

Transit police answered over 18,000 calls for service in 2013. Even with fare gates, the four priorities of the Transit Police will not change. They are: 1) Sexual offending 2) Frontline worker assault – bus operator assault 3) Dealing with people experiencing mental illness or addiction issues and 4) Special events.

Even with the gates, the work of Transit Police and these four priorities will transcend fare gates as Transit Police remain committed to public safety through their community police model, and that includes the function of fare checking.

President, Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association, co-chair, Transit Police Chief’s Community Council

Israel is digging its own grave. I believe there will be a reckoning and repercussions for how Israel has treated the Palestinian people over the last 50 years.

It is only a matter of time before terrorist organizations like Hamas and their allies get a hold of dangerous weapons and military technology. Information spreads like wildfire in our world.

Anything can be put on the Internet or sent to anyone. It is in Israel’s long-term security interests to make peace before they set the stage for their own destruction.

Israel’s only real ally in the world – the United States – is in major decline. The country is virtually broke. The U.S. and Europe could not even stop Putin from invading and taking over Crimea, and Russia is not even a major superpower anymore. The United States and the world were also essentially helpless in Syria.

I have many Jewish friends. In fact, one of my best friends is Jewish. However, this does not mean I support the actions of the Israel government. Many Jewish people around the world also do not support the actions of Israel.

One of my Jewish friends, however, stated that the Gaza War is an issue for Israel and Palestine to deal with and the rest of the world should not interfere. I disagree with this premise. The citizens of the world have a duty to protect, support, advocate and protest the killing of innocent people everywhere.

The Jewish people should be more conscious of this fact than others. The Jewish people themselves were the victims many times throughout history of people and countries standing silently by and doing nothing when they were being persecuted or killed.

Make peace and not war. The Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs are first cousins born of the same people. Time to treat each other as such.

Teachers: Months without pay continued from page 6

for months now, the only question is when will the government impose that contract?

In past disputes, the government has moved relatively quickly to end a strike by teachers, using the legislature to do so.

Not this time. The government now realizes it has the BCTF just where it wants it. For the first time ever, the union’s members are paying a huge personal financial price for staging a strike. And the teachers are paying that price at the worst possible time.

The fact the two-month summer break has landed smack in the middle of the strike exacerbates the cash flow problems that can arise from going potentially more than four months

without an income.

Government House Leader Mike de Jong is adamant he won’t call the legislature back earlier than its Oct. 6 scheduled start, just to impose a contract. His surprise announcement of a $40 per lost school day per student rebate for parents would seem to buttress that point.

The earliest date for an imposed contract to take effect would be Oct. 9 (it takes a minimum of three days to pass a bill into law). If teachers went back to work that day, presumably they wouldn’t be paid for two more weeks.

It all adds up to about 20 weeks without pay.

The unfortunate thing for teachers is that it is more than likely the imposed contract will contain pretty much what’s on the table

now from the government, which means teachers will have given up thousands of dollars for nothing. A negotiated deal is possible: the two sides are close on wage proposals, and if the BCTF staggered its argument for funding for class composition over several years (instead of all at once), dropped most of its benefits demands and agreed to put off any grievances until that court case is ultimately settled one way or another, a deal might be in sight.

It might not be totally fair, but not many labour disputes end up giving everyone what they deserve, and in this case no one deserves to go without an income for 20 weeks.

“We’re going to have to do a lot of rebuilding of relationships because we have fractured relationships that have got to be built again,” she said.

Flashbacks to grandma’s house Chez Mémé serves up tasty French fare in Burnaby’s Heights neighbourhood Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Isabelle and Ross Spence didn’t think twice about going into the restaurant industry together.

After all, the husband-and-wife team practically met because of food some 20 years ago, when a young Ross was the chef at the Moustache Café on the North Shore, cooking up orders for a younger, French university student.

“I was 18 years old and I was here to learn English,” said Isabelle, who now runs the Chez Mémé Baguette Bistro in North Burnaby with Ross. “I was going back home to France, and he was taking a year off from “You don’t need the restaurant business, and he to be expensive decided to come along and visit to be a French me. restaurant. It can “He loved Europe a lot and be very simple, proposed and back to the roots he we got married.” of what it is: the But there’s more to their meat, the sauce, love story than the cheese.” a flight across the Atlantic and ISABELLE SPENCE a ring – Ross Chez Mémé owner cooked at luxury hotels and exquisite restaurants in Paris before the couple returned to Canada and set up shop at the corner of Robson and Jervis.

“My background is fine dining,” said Ross, who went through the Dubrulle International Culinary School of Arts, “but when we came back, we wanted to open our own place, something that was a bit more simple.”

That place ended up being a crêperie in Downtown Vancouver named La Bretagne, after Isabelle’s home region of Brittany in France, where crêpes and galettes with buckwheat flour are a traditional dish.

Jacob Zinn/burnaby now

French fare: Isabelle and Ross Spence wanted a restaurant that felt like home – grandma’s home. The couple have been running Chez Mémé Baguette Bistro in Burnaby Heights for the last five years, serving up authentic, rustic European breakfasts and lunches that remind customers of home cooking from their upbringings.

“It was a very small, quaint little place,” she said. “It was busy and it was fun, but the rent was quite high.

“Our life was no life, it was just the restaurant.”

After six years and two kids, the Spences decided they’d had enough working upwards of 12 hours a day, yet they still shared a passion for rustic European food. They started looking for a new place to call home and they found it in a small restaurant in North Burnaby.

“I remember him saying, ‘Oh, there’s this restaurant for sale on Hastings,’” recalled Isabelle. “I’m like, ‘Hastings? I don’t think I want to be on Hastings.’”

But once they realized the location

was in Burnaby Heights – as opposed to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside – they checked it out and were blown away.

“When we saw this place, we fell in love with it,” she said. “We saw the kitchen and we said, ‘That’s a kitchen.’ When we worked at the crêperie, it was tiny.”

With a few helping hands, the two of them turned the eatery into something that felt like Grandma’s house – or, en français, Chez Mémé.

“When I was growing up, my mom would say, ‘Oh, we’re going to Chez Mémé,’ and we knew we were going to have some good food,” said Isabelle of the inspiration behind the name. “It was very rustic and always good, not pretentious.

“You don’t need to be expensive to be a French restaurant. It can be very simple, back to the roots of what it is: the meat, the sauce, the cheese. And when you put them together, it makes it special.”

Chez Mémé serves up succulent sandwiches, rich soups and to-die-for breakfasts (among other menu items) made from fresh foods bought locally from surrounding stores like the Red Apple Market and Cioffi’s Meat Market & Deli.

“It’s an old-style community where it’s all personal owners, and they care about their customers and want to know them,” said Ross of the neighbourhood. “A lot of them are second-, third-generation Chez Mémé Page 10

D-Wave secures $30M for quantum computing MOVERS & SHAKERS Jacob Zinn

B

urnaby-based technology company D-Wave Systems Inc. recently received $30 million in funding from various investors to continue its state-of-the-art advancements in quantum

computing.

The money will go toward bettering the company’s technology and software, designed to solve complex challenges in the fields of physics, engineering, manufacturing and computer science. D-Wave uses quantum physics to analyze data for such prominent organizations as aerospace giants NASA and Martin Lockheed, as well as Internet megapower Google.

“This funding is a strong endorsement of D-

Wave’s ability to deliver the first viable quantum computer to organizations in need of a new caliber of computing,” said D-Wave CEO Vern Brownell in a press release. “For quantum computing to achieve its enormous potential in such diverse areas as genetically personalized medicine, mission planning, systems optimization and machine learning, we need to build a software ecosystem through partnerships with world experts.

“This new capital will allow us to fund the software development and personnel needed to deliver the first quantum applications.”

D-Wave’s investors include Goldman Sachs, BDC Capital, the Harris & Harris Group and DFJ.

Premier Lighting

In an effort to reduce energy costs, Burnaby’s Premier Lighting has developed wireless LED technology for public use that cuts down on wasted

resources while maintaining public safety.

The lighting company recently installed its innovative system in the underground parking garage of the Vancouver Central Public Library.

The lights are fitted with sensors that detect motion and occupancy, and shut off when no one is around.

“The lighting upgrade at the VPL is projected to save the City of Vancouver up to 511,000 kilowatt hours annually, or approx-

imately $31,000 a year,” stated Premier Lighting president Tony Holland in a recent B.C. Hydro newsletter. “With a life expectancy of over 10 years, they are also the most long lasting and energy-efficient LEDs available.

“We fully expect the project will pay for itself within two years.”

The lights also feature red and green indicators that guide drivers to empty parking spaces in an effort to reduce exhaust emissions.

restaurants and businesses.”

The bistro, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this November, fills up with regulars around lunchtime on weekdays.

That’s because they’re only open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., as well as brunch on the second Saturday of the month.

The Spences don’t run a dinner menu, though they tried before and it didn’t go over.

“Hastings just shuts down at night,” said Isabelle, adding that the customers who did come in for dinner preferred the breakfast and lunch items as opposed to what was on the dinner menu.

“Ross was like, ‘I’m not making breakfast for dinner!’” she said with a laugh.

But people keep coming back to experience “the flashback,” as Isabelle put it.

“They eat something, and they have a flashback of what their grandma or mom used to make. It makes them feel good, and they crave it.”

Being able to close in the afternoon affords Ross and Isabelle a less hectic lifestyle than most restaurant jobs, reinforcing their family values as a husbandand-wife operation.

“To be able to be at home at night and here in the day is just fabulous,” said Isabelle.

“We don’t make a restaurant to make money, we make a restaurant to make a life,” added Ross.

“Now if we want to make money,” said Isabelle, “we need to have more than one.”

Chez Mémé is located at 4016 Hastings St.

Leap of faith led pair to success

By Boyd Reynolds When you’re 24 years old, it’s hard to know which direction to head.

That is, unless you’re Arianne Liu. This Burnaby Central alum knew she wanted to make a difference in her community. Liu and Johny Dyer are co-owners of DyerFitness, located in the Heights.

Her dream began when both were working at another ftness club.

They wanted to “give a little more and decided to take a leap of faith,” she explains.

The result was the two coming up with the idea to open their own ftness centre.

But, as with most dreams, it was not an easy one to fulfl.

At the time, the two were believed to be too young to run a successful business. According to Liu, it took them almost a year-and-a-half before everything fell into place.

The gym has something for everyone, all the way from lighter, less intense workouts to Olympic lifting.

But the staff at DyerFitness tries to bring in an element of fun to working out as well.

According to Liu, the music inside the facility is good, and all patrons and staff are introduced to one another.

This social aspect makes everyone more comfortable.

Being a part of their ftness family is incredibly helpful, Liu says.

She points out that it’s hard to “push yourself to change if you don’t have support” – and that’s where DyerFitness comes in.

Furthering the desire to make a difference, the two co-owners believe in giving back to the community.

Finally, they found the right landlord, and DyerFitness was born.

Liu wanted to settle DyerFitness in the Heights because she grew up in the community and loves the neighbourhood.

Liu says DyerFitness is different from other athletic clubs because it is a hybrid gym. As Liu explains, they teach both cross-ft and regular ftness classes.

Not only that, it’s a reciprocal arrangement. Liu sees that to make a small business viable, it is imperaLarry Wright/BURNABY NOW tive to have support from the local Leap of faith: Arianne Liu is a Burnaby Central alum who now co-owns DyerFitness in the Heights.

In turn, Liu and Dyer make going out to help others a priority. Dyer launched a sponsorship program with student football athletes at Notre Dame Regional Secondary School.

As for Liu, she has her own sponsorship program dedicated to teenage girls. The initiative is for 10 students from Alpha Secondary School and Notre Dame and focuses on improving self-esteem.

Liu believes that so many girls are told how they are to look by the media, “we need more support for women.”

Seeing a need is one thing, but taking action is another. This is part of DyerFitness’s success.

Dear Tom and Ray: I’ve noticed something while driving, and I want to find out if it’s real or just my imagination.

While sitting at a stoplight during a light rain, a given number of drops seem to hit my windshield. I turn the wipers on and off to clear them, say, every five seconds.

When the light changes and I pull away, it seems as if more drops are hitting the windshield, and I need to

either turn the wipers on and off more frequently or turn them on and leave them on.

My questions: Are more raindrops hitting the windshield while moving?

In effect, is the windshield larger as it travels through not only space, but time, making it gather more drops?

Does the angle of the windshield have any effect? Am I imagining this in the first place?

I have considered pasting construction paper to pingpong paddles and running through a light drizzle, then counting the drops. Writing to you seems easier.

I just need to get an answer. It’s been bugging me for years.

a particularly heavy one.

We are happy to help.

RAY: This is a very straightforward calculus problem, Tim, one that we are completely incapable of solving.

TOM: But we do know that the answer is yes, your windshield does get hit with more raindrops per second if you’re moving forward.

RAY: The simplest explanation is that when you’re moving, you are encountering not only the raindrops falling from right above you, but you’re also intercepting some of the raindrops that would have fallen in front of you – on your hood or in front of your car.

TOM: Since you brought up ping-pong paddles,

let’s work with that.

RAY: Imagine you hung a bunch of ping-pong balls from the ceiling in your garage to simulate a moment of a rain storm that’s been frozen in time.

So you have an even distribution of ping-pong balls – maybe they’re spaced one foot apart in every dimension.

TOM: Now, if you park your car in the garage, a certain number of those ping-pong balls will be in contact with your five of them.

RAY: If this were a rainstorm, and those pingpong ball drops were falling at the rate of one per second, you’d add another five drops to your windshield every second – drops that are falling

You with me so far?

TOM: But when you start to move forward, you’re not only getting those five drops every second that are coming from right above you, but because of your forward motion, your windshield also is colliding with additional drops that would have fallen in front of your car had you been sitting still.

RAY: You’re sort of adding a third dimension.

You have the height and width of your windshield to accept whatever raindrops fall. But you’re adding “depth” by plowing through additional regions of raindrops.

Rainy day raises physics question for reader airplane instead of a car.

Sitting on the tarmac, the plane would collect a certain number of raindrops on its windshield – just like your car would.

But if it were flying through that rainstorm at 550 m.p.h., it would collide with a lot more of those drops, right?

RAY: Or to take it even a step further, imagine that the plane’s windshield were missing completely.

In which scenario do you think you’d get wetter?

Sitting in that cockpit parked on the tarmac while it rained, or sitting there as the plane flew through the storm?

TOM: I think if I get on a plane and it has no windshield, I’m getting off and taking the train.

Three named to inaugural national team Tom Berridge

sports editor

Three Mountain FC girls will be living the island life with Canada’s first-ever under-15 girls’ national soccer team.

Forward Camila Gomez Hernandez, midfielder Julia Grosso and converted defender Emma Regan of Burnaby were all named to Canada’s national team to the inaugural CONCACAF u-15 championships in the Cayman Islands, beginning Thursday against Puerto Rico.

Also in the pool with with Canada is Haiti and Cuba.

“This the first development contact with this group of players outside of a wider identification camp,” said national team head coach Bev Priestman in a Canada Soccer press release.

Last March, Priestman led Canada’s u-17 women to a quarter-final appearance at the FIFA women’s World Cup. “It’s an opportunity to really assess the players selected for the future,” she added.

Two other players from B.C. were also named to the 18-player Canadian squad.

Canada will also take on Cuba on Saturday, before rounding out group play against Haiti on Aug. 11.

All three Mountain FC girls met in 2010 while at the TSS Academy and decided playing together would be the best thing.

It proved a smart move.

The girls played together at Cliff Avenue and the Burnaby Girls Soccer Club, where they eventually played Metro before moving up to Mountain United FC in the high performance league.

Cutout for Caymans: Mountain FC’s Julia Grosso, seen in red in under-14 regular season action, is one of three friends named to Canada’s national team for the inaugural u-15 CONCACAF championships. chemistry. It made me feel better knowing B.C. kids were there,” said 13-yearold Grosso of the identification camp in Toronto held in June.

“We were definitely used to playing with each other. It definitely helped me out,” said Regan, a 14year-old Grade 9 Burnaby Central student, who was converted from midfield to the backfield for Canada’s national team.

“It’s a new position for me. I’m usually a central midfielder. But they converted me to fullback for the purposes of this team.

It’s new and I can be really creative back there.”

Like her friends and

teammates, Regan is super excited about the opportunity to wear Canada’s colours in a continental championship.

“It’s definitely going to be different. I’m excited about representing my country, and it’s going to be really exciting to see how (other countries) play and what I can learn from those teams going forward.”

Off-field instruction has also been an eye-opener for the girls with Canada Soccer providing videos as part of the preparation.

“I think it’s been really helpful, especially with a new position,” Regan added.

Gomez Hernandez, a 14-year-old Pinetree Secondary student, is also eager to find her way in the fast-paced environment of international soccer. “(Canada) likes a possession style – it’s really fast and sharp – you have to be thinking real quick, but they want you to be creative, too.

“Our head coach) really gets to us and inspires us.

We all know what we have to do,” Gomez Hernadez added.

“It was crazy, I got the email in the middle of the night. It was a nice surprise to think that I was good enough to play on the national team and to

keep going and play on the senior team when I’m older.”

Regan agreed.

“It’s great timing for us being 14 and also playing up with some (19)99s,” Regan added. “It’s being really helpful and I’m really excited about getting started.”

But if the girls have their way, they’ll continue their climb up the soccer ranks together.

“It would be sad to split up,” added Gomez Hernandez.

“I hope we can stay together for a long time, but my goal is to come out a better player than when I went in.”

Lakers give win to Coquitlam in season ender Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers finished their Western Lacrosse Association season with an 11-7-0 record following a loss to Coquitlam in the final regular season game last week.

The senior A Lakers lost 16-9 at home to the Coquitlam Adanacs who finished out of the playoffs tied with Langley at 7-11-0.

Last season, Burnaby fin-

ished in third place with a 10-8-0 record.

Burnaby will take on the thirdplace-finishing Maple Ridge Burrards in the opening game of the best-of-seven semifinal playoffs today (Wednesday) at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Game time is scheduled for 7:45 p.m.

New Westminster will travel to Victoria to take on the first-place Shamrocks in the other semifinal also Wednesday.

The Lakers fell behind early

against the A’s, giving up the game’s first goal to second star Matthew Dinsdale in the opening minutes, before eventual first star, Brandon Goodwin, kickstarted a four-goal Coquitlam rally midway through the period.

The A’s upped their advantage to 7-1 early in the second period before Burnaby found its shooting range.

But the Lakers were clearly never in the contest.

Coquitlam struck three times

to open the final period and added three more in a one-minute span later in the period before Goodwin added his fourth goal of the game with two minutes left on the clock.

Dan Lewis made 42 saves in the Burnaby net in his first loss this season.

Tyler Glebe got the start for the A’s and made 31 stops.

Team scoring leader Dane Stevens led the Lakers with a goal and three assists.

There will be no Minto memories for the New Westminster junior Salmonbellies.

The junior A ’Bellies lost Game 7 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League best-ofseven playoff final 12-8 to the Coquitlam Adanacs at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday.

Wesley Berg, the concensus junior A player of the year and the inaugural winner of the Jack Crosby Trophy as the B.C. playoff MVP, scored five goals and added an assist on the eventual game-winner before a hyped-up crowd of more than 1,500 fans at Queen’s Park.

“He put the team on his back and great players can do that,” said New Westminster head coach Dan Perreault after the game.

What was surprising was the turnaround from New West’s 13-6 victory in Game 6 in Coquitlam on Friday.

In that game, the visiting Salmonbellies jumped out to a 7-2 lead after the opening period, and Ontario pickup Eric Penney did the rest, stopping 45 shots, including 19 in the final frame, to chalk up his second straight win of the series.

But it was Coquitlam that got the fast start on Sunday, going up 5-1, following Berg’s shorthanded marker midway through the period.

New West closed the deficit to two goals with an early second-period flurry from Josh Byrne, Justin Goodwin and Anthony Malcom’s second of the game.

Connor Robinson also gave the home team a chance to come back with a diving shot from the left crease at the time buzzer to shave the gap to 7-5 late in the middle frame.

“It’s disappointing,” said Perreault. “It’s the seventh game, the winner moves on to compete for the Minto Cup.” Coquitlam will now face the Calgary Mountaineers in a best-of-five playoff.
