Hippie Mike skates into Burnaby Wheel teacher:
Skateboarder expands popular competition
Hippie Mike teaches confidence on four wheels.
Jacob Zinn staff reporter
If you’ve never heard of Hippie Mike, you probably don’t skateboard. The dreadlocked skater, whose real name is Mike Faux, is a familiar bearded face in the Lower Mainland skateboarding community, having run Hippie Mike’s Tour de Surrey – a five-date skateboard contest – over the last 10 years. Now he’s expanding his annual competition to other cities with his first ever Supertour, and one of the stops is Burnaby’s Bonsor Skatepark. “I always heard a lot of kids talking about the Tour de Surrey and not showing up,” he said. “They wanted to come and knew a lot about it, but it was difficult for them to travel to Surrey. “I figured if I brought the contests to where the kids are, that’s

going to make them feel like it’s less of a nuisance to travel.” While the Tour de Surrey had five dates, he’s starting the inaugural Supertour with three. The tour kicked off in July at
the brand new Cloverdale Youth Park, with Bonsor as the next stop on Saturday, Aug. 23. “I’ve run competitions at this skatepark before, but not for at least eight years,” said Faux.
“This park’s a really good park all around – it’s attractive to every type of skateboarder, and it’s always busy.” Faux picked Bonsor for its central location in the Lower
Mainland and proximity to the Metrotown SkyTrain station, but also its versatility. There are sections of the park that are suited Contest Page 8
No school? City looks at extending day camps Christina Myers staff reporter
With news that longtime mediator Vince Ready is wading into the education dispute, it’s possible that classes will begin on schedule after labour day. In the meantime, local organizations are preparing for what may be an extended strike into the fall. “We know that we’re probably going to have to do something, but what exact-
ly that is, we’re not certain,” said Dave Ellenwood, director of parks and recreation with the City of Burnaby. The department runs day camps and specialized programming through the summer, and Ellenwood says some of those may be brought back in September for parents looking for activities for children who would otherwise be in classes. “We’re discussing the possibility of extended day-long activities, and we also have some drop-ins that will pick up some
of the slack,” he added. Ellenwood notes that they have auxiliary staff and contract instructors that can be brought in as required, but the challenge could be finding the space. “The issue for us, if that happens, is availability of facilities – many of the spaces at our community centres are used during the day for seniors’ programs.” But, right now, it’s all wait-and-see, he notes. “Of course, we’re not sure yet what
will happen. … We can probably react on an ad hoc basis. There’s not a fully developed plan because there’s so much uncertainty.” Ellenwood says parents hoping to make plans can check out their local community centres closer to September, but that the fastest way to get information is through the city’s website (www.burnaby.ca) or through their social media accounts on

VOLUNTEERS GET DOWN AND DIRTY FOR TOWNHOUSE TRANSITION
100 helping hands for Habitat Tereza Verenca
staff reporter
Nearly 100 Habitat for Humanity volunteers rolled up their sleeves on the weekend as they spiffed up the organizations’s townhouse complex in Burnaby. Weed whacking, fence staining and pressure washing were all on the chore list as the crew cleaned up the site at 8745 Government St. The cleanup was scheduled because the lot will soon be handed over to a strata council. “We wanted to make sure everything was clean, that the soil was fresh, so that when council takes possession, they can start with a clean slate,” said Tim Clark, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver. No one who came out was afraid to get his or her hands a little dirty. Speckled in paint from head to toe, you would never know Genworth Canada’s Sachin Varma wore a suit every day as an account manager. He called the experience – his fifth – very rewarding. “We’ve had people come up to us telling us how grateful they are. It’s huge deal to get those families out of bad home situations,” he said. Meanwhile, For Carl Eden has more been lending a info, scan hand for more with than 20 years layar and said “it was something to do to help people out” after retiring from the aviation industry. Trish Fodor and Shawn Cantwell – complete strangers – were first-time volunteers and were partnered up to fix some stairs and build a fence. “We’ve been a great team so far,” Fodor said and Cantwell added there was never a butting of the heads. Habitat for Humanity works on a case-by-case basis. Families applying for a home must have a combined household income between $35,000 and $60,000.

Strike: Local groups may come up with ‘last minute’ plans for kids continued from page 1
Twitter and Facebook. Burnaby Village Museum has already announced they’ve set up a series of day camps in the event that schools are not in session. Currently the camps are set up to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with an extension to 4:30 p.m. if needed, for the first two weeks of September. Local community-based organizations are also hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. At Burnaby Neighbourhood House, program director Sarah Shaw says they will hopefully run their usual before-andafter school care programs as full-day programs. “We will have our centres open, but the challenge is if we’re allowed to access our buildings – our programs are all at schools in the district,” she said, noting that picket lines may affect their ability to use those spaces. “If we have access to them, they will be
running full days at our normal licensing capacity.” But without knowing for sure if the strike will continue or the impact it may have on their usual child-care spaces, she said they’re not certain what will happen. “We’re still figuring it all out. Until we have definitive word, it’s likely to be last minute to know either way,” she said. Parents who use their programs have already been calling in preparation for September, she noted. Local child and youth sports clubs and businesses may also set up day camps; the websites for the 4Cats Arts Studios in both Capitol Hill and Burnaby South already feature a “teachers’ strike” button, though specific programming hasn’t yet been posted. Last Wednesday, it was announced that Ready was meeting with both sides to determine if mediation was possible. The teachers and the employer have agreed to halt public discussions while he is meeting with them. editorial@burnabynow.com

Protect the PNE before it’s lost IN THE HOUSE
O
KEITH BALDREY
ne of B.C.’s grandest and most historic traditions is up and running again, but it’s not entirely clear how long it can keep going. I’m talking about the Pacific National Exhibition, a 17-day whirlwind of entertainment that combines midway rides, livestock exhibitions, concerts, exhibits of all shapes and sizes and way too much food. But the annual fair faces mounting pressures as time goes on. It is essentially a throw-back to earlier times, when it was the only big event in town. It began as an agriculture fair, located on the distant outskirts of the young town of Vancouver (its east side location was fairly remote when it began in 1910). Over the years, it evolved into a major entertainment destination and a significant cultural event that celebrated the idea of British Columbia itself. For years, school children in the Lower Mainland got a major prize with their final school report card of the year: a free ticket to the PNE (this year, kids
under 13 get in free). And so for decades, the PNE was a big deal. Visiting the fair was a tradition for thousands of families, who would arrive early in the day and leave late at night, exhausted from seeing and trying everything, from riding the midway to watching the Demolition Derby, the Festival of Forestry, livestock shows and, of course, eating in the Food Building. The famous Challenger Map of B.C. was located there for years, as was the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. This is where the annual Boat Show, Auto Show and Home Show got their starts. The entertainment was legendary. Huge stars appeared: Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Young and, of course, The Beatles. But, over the years, the PNE found itself looking a bit aged, a corny piece of the past that seemed overtaken by newer, faster and more varied forms of entertainment. It had become a period piece and its nostalgic charm wasn’t enough to make it the dominant event of the year anymore. Still, the fair has survived and this year hundreds of thousands of people will walk through its gates, which is a testament to its endurance and the widespread public support for it. However, recent years have PNE Page 7
So we have to give kudos to the government after hearing today’s announcement from Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett that two reviews will be carried out in response to the dam failure: first, that three independent experts will investigate the dam breach at Mount Polley mine and, second, that all mines with tailings dams will be required to have independent experts carry out reviews of their facilities and submit their findings to the government. Media reports over the last week have noted that routine inspections at mines
in B.C. are significantly lower than they were in 2001, the year the B.C. Liberals won a landslide election. We hope that while all these independent investigations on Mount Polley and other mines are being carried out, Victoria takes a moment to “investigate” itself and reconsider the frequency of inspections it carries out. Another dam failure could be a massive environmental disaster, and deadly to boot. But not working hard enough right now to prevent such a thing will surely prove to be a political disaster, too.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Health care is under attack
Dear Editor:
A little known, jaw-dropping case before the B.C. Supreme Court is coming up in September. If we (the public) lose, it could erase our Canadian public Medicare and replace it with a U.S.-style twotier health-care system. It is being called the most significant constitutional challenge in Canadian history. So significant for all of us that it is like thinking the unthinkable. How can that be! Are we really at risk of losing our public health-care system in 2014? The attack is driven by Dr. Brian Day, owner of a Vancouver for-profit Cambie Surgery Centre. Dr. Day claims that the defining principle at the
heart of Canadian Medicare “that health services be provided according to patient needs, not their ability to pay” is unconstitutional, claiming that these rules violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Dr. Day has been exposed by a provincial audit for unlawfully billing both taxpayer and patient for money. In one case, a patient was billed $7,215 for services that would only have cost $1,288.04 in the B.C. health-care system. Auditors also found over $66,000 in overlapping claims evidence of double dipping for the same service. In 30 days of billing, it was found patients were unlawfully extra-billed $491,654.

However, some people believe that having more private for-profit clinics would relieve the public system and improve wait times. Evidence shows that when for-profitdelivery becomes part of the health-care system, it results in longer wait times for care. We know that doctors and nurses are drained from the public system to the forprofit system. Think about the consequences if Dr. Day wins this case against the B.C. government’s provincial health legislation that limits the for-profit delivery of medical necessary services. The public system that Canadians rely on and overwhelmingly support will be dismantled across the country. That is why the B.C. Health Coalition and Canadian Doctors for Medicare have joined this case as interveners. Spread the news, your friends and neighbours may not know; put it on social media.

Dear Editor:
I fail to understand why special interest groups continue to sensationalize the Mount Polley mine incident. Yes, a dam failed and thousands of litres of water and mud knocked out a swath of trees. However, the water was not toxic as many claim and, from my understanding, the mixture contains minimal amounts of naturally occurring minerals, metals, rock, sand, silt and mud. Yes, the site looks horrendous. But it’s not unlike any other naturally occurring mud slide that happens regularly. Thankfully no one was hurt or injured, and the water tests continue to confirm that the water is fit for human consumption. There is every reason to expect that in a year natural vegetation re-growth will render the incident almost undetectable. Yes, we need to find out why this happened and do what we can to ensure that it does not happen again. But I am not going to let all the “antieverything” alarmists suggest that we shut down an industry so many families rely on. Instead, let’s make it better. Donald Leung, Burnaby
PNE: Vital part of economy seen the emergence of all kinds of neighbouring community-based festivals and celebrations and they pose direct competition to the PNE. While there’s nothing wrong with community festivals, the fact that a number of them are seeded with municipal funding sets them apart from the PNE, which does not receive a subsidy from B.C. taxpayers. And this raises the legitimate question of whether the PNE should qualify for a financial subsidy from the City of Vancouver (which is the owner of the PNE) or the B.C. government, if that’s what it takes to ensure that it survives down the road. The PNE’s financial situation can be precarious: too much rain during the 17-day run of the fair can spell disaster, as happened several years

ago. If the PNE fair were to one day disappear, it would be a major hit to the economy of Metro Vancouver. The PNE is the largest employer of youth in all of B.C. and many young workers who work the fair make enough money in a short period to pay for a big chunk of their post-secondary education. (I was once one of those kids, having worked 10 consecutive fairs some time ago.) The PNE itself estimates it contributes about $140 million to the economy every year. That includes about $25 million in taxes and $50 million in wages. As well, about 25,000 people from outside Metro Vancouver visit the fair and stay an average of three nights in hotels and motels. That’s a lot of economic activity, and it cannot be allowed to disappear. To be clear, the PNE
board is not asking for financial help from any level of government, at least not yet. But it’s important to note the PNE fair is the only major fair in North America that doesn’t receive a generous taxpayer-funded subsidy. The organization reports a modest financial surplus every year, but attendance at the fair has declined three straight years (from 962,000 in 2010 to 712,000 last year). Of course, attendance figures can be looked at in a glass half-full way: attracting more than 700,000 customers is still a sign of impressive public support. So visit the fair. Try to win a house or a car. Ride the roller coaster. Don’t let B.C.’s greatest annual celebration disappear any time soon. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Contest: Girls have own category continued from page 1
for all types of skateboarding – street, park and vert – and all skill levels. The Supertour has categories for beginner, intermediate and advanced skaters, as well as a mini category for youngsters and a girls only contest. “We try to put all the girls out there together so that they can feed off each other and have a good time,” said Faux. “My wife’s skateboarded for half her life and I think that encourages other young girls to get out there and do it too.” The reason Faux organizes these contests year after year isn’t just to promote skateboarding in B.C. – it’s to instill confidence in youth that they can carry into other aspects of life like job interviews. “We want the generations of skateboarders to continue to grow,” he said. “When you’ve got kids in the mini category 10 or under going in front of the crowd, that’s
huge for their whole life. It’s just a really important part of growth.” Faux also uses the contests to teach youth about charitable causes by requiring either two food items or a $5 donation for local food banks to gain entry to his contests. “When I first started Hippie Mike’s Tour de Surrey, I didn’t want it to be a free event,” he said. “I want kids to feel the value of their entry and respect all the prizing that is being donated. But at the same time, I don’t want their money, so I decided to link to the food bank societies.” Prizes in all categories include skateboard decks, clothing, hats and shoes, among other items. Looking to expand next year, Faux said, “Once people start coming, they’re just going to keep coming, and it’ll be another decade of awesomeness.” Hippie Mike’s Supertour stops at the Bonsor Skatepark on Saturday, Aug. 23 at noon. – Twitter.com/jacobzinn

Police looking for suspect in unprovoked attack with needle Cayley Dobie staff reporter
A seemingly motiveless attack at a busy Burnaby intersection has police asking for the public’s help in tracking down the suspect. On Aug. 8 at 10:20 a.m., a woman was walking east on the south side of Kingsway when an unknown man allegedly stabbed her with a needle while she waited at a light at McKay Avenue, stated a press release from Burnaby RCMP. The victim reported the incident to officers at the Southwest Community Police Station an hour later. She was taken to hospital and released a short while later, the release added.
“While the nature of this incident is a significant concern for police, it is also highly unusual. As of today, we’ve had no other reported incidents,” Investigative Services Officer Insp. Bob Page said in the release. Investigators are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect in the allegedly unprovoked attack. The suspect is described as a darkskinned man about 35 years old and 5-7 with short, dyed blonde hair. At the time of the attack, he was wearing a light blue tank top, dark jeans and carrying three shopping bags. Anyone who can identify the suspect is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.
SPIKE BELT PUTS AN END TO CHASE
A spike belt was all it took for police to apprehend an alleged car thief from Burnaby last month. According to a press release from the New Westminster Police Department, patrol officers spotted a blue Volkswagen Jetta at about 2:40 a.m. on Tuesday, July 15. The Jetta had been reported stolen from a location in Langley several days earlier so the officers began tailing the vehicle, without sirens or lights. Police followed the vehicle over the Pattullo Bridge where waiting officers deployed a spike belt, deflating two of the vehicle’s tires, according to the release. Despite driving over the spike belt, the suspect attempted to flee from police but the damage to the tires was too great and
the vehicle was forced to pull into a shallow ditch at 132nd Street and 112B Avenue in Surrey. “Dealing with stolen vehicles can be a very high risk activity,” said Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland in the release. “We are pleased that this incident was brought to a safe conclusion by our members, who were able to disable the vehicle and take the suspect into custody while minimizing the risk to the public, the police and the suspect herself.” Burnaby resident Phyllis Louise Clark is now facing five charges, including possession of stolen property, flight from a police officer, dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving while disqualified and possession of a controlled substance. – By Cayley Dobie, staff reporter

Society helping create inclusive workforce
Burnaby non-profit used federal funding to create unique work program
More than 260 Canadians with disabilities have entered the workforce over the last year thanks to a Burnaby-based non-profit. The Neil Squire Society launched its Working Together Program last year, after being awarded an $8.8 million contract under the federal government’s Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities. Working Together provides employers with up to $30,000 in subsidies to pay the wages of a person with a disability for a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year. Employers also get ongoing support and work-site adaptations from the Neil Squire Society to help accommodate the needs of their
new employees. The Working Together Program is designed to make a business case for hiring people with disabilities – like the fact that the majority of people with disabilities have some post-secondary education, stay with their employers longer than most employees, and take less sick time. By connecting candidates with the appropriate skill sets to the right employers, the Working Together Program also aims to create a more inclusive workforce. Since last August, the program has served 503 clients, with 262 securing employment and many more still looking for opportunities to work. For more information about Neil Squire’s wage-subsidy program, visit www.neilsquire.ca. – By Cornelia Naylor, staff reporter

Police seek fraud suspect Cayley Dobie
staff reporter
A 38-year-old man of no fixed address is currently wanted by Burnaby Mounties on fraud charges following an investigation into a string of identity thefts. According to Burnaby RCMP, the department’s community response team began an investigation earlier this year into a string of identity thefts, which took place in Burnaby and across the Lower Mainland. In May, the team received a complaint that a suspicious purchase had been made at a computer store at Metrotown mall. Police allege the suspect purchased several iPhones with someone else’s credit card and then used another credit card to rent a car.

A 19-year-old Burnaby woman was among several people arrested by Transit Police on Aug. 2, the final night of the 2014 Celebration of Lights. According to Transit Police, there were a few incidents that resulted in police intervention and several arrests, including an incident at Gateway SkyTrain station in Surrey. Police say a Burnaby woman and a 23-year-old Vancouver man were spotted “openly holding a large bag of marijuana.” When police searched the pair, they found an undisclosed number of hash balls and crystal meth packaged and prepared for sale. Officers also found digital scales, a vaporizer, pepper spray and knives. The two individuals were arrested with recommendations

Burnaby woman arrested at station to charge them both with possession for the purpose of trafficking. In total, on the final evening of fireworks, there were fewer than 10 arrests, five of which were for intoxication in a public place. There were also 66 liquor pour-outs, two weapons seized, and 12 tickets issued. In the release, Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord thanked transit users for their responsible behaviours noting peoples’ positive attitudes even when faced with large crowds. “Using transit on these very busy nights can be difficult and try everyone’s patience. You stood up to the test and made the experience more pleasant for everybody,” Dubord said in the release. – Cayley Dobie

Most physicians experience a nearly constant pressure of time. While looking after our patients, there are always competing demands on our time. And outside of clinical time, we may be on call, attending endless committee meetings or managing a perpetual pile of forms and reports. I must confess that every one of my days – like an overstuffed suitcase – is packed with activity. I sometimes judge the day by how much I have accomplished: A good day is a productive day. But none of us should wait until the next holiday, retirement, or the end of life to wake up and live each day. We should begin – and continue – with the end in mind. To not waste a day does not mean to pack it full of activity. We waste this day by not being fully awake. What gives your life meaning? Are you awake to the experience of being alive – tasting, touching, breathing, feeling? What are your greatest goals? What are you doing with your time? What are you doing this day to take one small step in the direction of your dreams? Today are you talking to the people who matter most? Are you fully present in the presence of others? The measure of each day is like the measure of our lives, and the unit of measure is love. How have you shared love this day? Be gracious when receiving it. Be generous in expressing it. Don’t let this day slip by as another blur of time, another square on the calendar or another countdown day. Make it count. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician at the PrimeCare Medical Centre. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper. See davidicuswong. wordpress.com for more.

Dr. Davidicus Wong
I
s today just another day? And tonight after it has passed, will it be forgotten? Is it a day in the way? That’s a countdown day that you just want to get through because it stands between you and what you anticipate – a special day in the future, a holiday or the weekend. In the trance of everyday life, we can get caught up with nonstop activity, endless goals and distractions. We lose sight of what matters most, and we can forget a simple truth. Every moment is precious and every day a gift. When they were young, I taught my children to frame each day. Before they rolled out of bed, I asked them to say a prayer of thanks, considering all the good in their lives, especially the people they loved. By beginning the day with their cups half full, they would be more inclined to see the positive throughout each day, and when their cups were full, they would be more likely to share and give. Again at the end of each day, at suppertime and at bedtime, they would recall the gifts of the day: what they enjoyed, what they received and what they gave. This summer, my kids are asleep when I leave the house and they’re awake when I go to bed. I no longer keep track of their prayers, and I wonder if they like most grownups and teens have become too busy to frame their days and measure their moments day by day. Erin Cebula, Spokesperson

Mike Little gets Tory nod Jacob Zinn staff reporter
North Vancouver Coun. Mike Little will get the first crack at the new Burnaby North-Seymour riding for the Conservatives in the next federal election. Announced Monday, Little was selected by the party for the nomination based on his political background as a three-term councillor for the district. “I have been on the board of the local Conservative riding association since 1999, so council has certainly given me a lot of experience along the way, but I have been interested
in federal politics for a long time,” he told the NOW in May. Little, who lives on the Seymour side of the riding, has worked in Burnaby and said he is familiar with the issues in the city. He noted that Burnaby has a lot in common with the North Shore. “We share the waterways and we have lots of agreements regionally that affect both Seymour and Burnaby through Metro Vancouver, we share the Second Narrows Bridge, for better or worse, and so I do see a lot of connections in our areas and I don’t think it will be a
problem getting to know the community better than I already do,” he said. HisconcernsforBurnaby include disaster preparedness and response, improving healthcare and internet security. Little will run against the Liberals’ Terry Beech in the next federal election, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015. The NDP have yet to select their candidate for the riding, but have two politicans – Trevor Ritchie and Michael Charrois – vying for the nod. – With files from Jennifer Thuncher

Burnaby bumped by burly Burrards Tom Berridge sports editor
The Burnaby Lakers won’t be going to a Western Lacrosse Association final for a least one more season. The senior A Lakers lost Game 6 10-8 to the Maple Ridge Burrards at the Cam Neely Arena on Saturday and were eliminated in six games in the best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinals. “It’s definitely disappointing. Nobody is happy, but all you can do is take this and learn from it,” said Burnaby head coach Rory McDade. “The guys worked hard and hopefully learned a lesson about discipline and playing through difficult things.” After coming back to even the series at 2-2 early last week, Burnaby fell behind for a second time in the semifinals following a lackluster 10-7 loss at home on Thursday. The Lakers were outshot 42-35 in a game Maple Ridge appeared to control for the most part. Penalties To view cost the Lakers a video, dearly in the scan contest, with with the Burrards Layar making good on five of nine opportunities on the extra man. In Maple Ridge, Shaun Dhaliwal tied the game 3-3 in the opening minute of the second period and team scoring leader Dane Stevens gave Burnaby a 5-4 lead midway through the frame before the Burrards stole the momentum away with a three-goal run. Ben McIntosh knotted the contest before Brandon Bertoia and Curtis Dickson, who returned to the Maple Ridge lineup in Game 5, both scored approximately halfa-minute apart. “That was a really big turning point in the game,” said McDade. “(Maple Ridge) played tough defence and it got even tougher in the playoffs.” The Burrards increased their lead to 10-6 with three more goals in a four-minute span to start the

First-round exit: The Burnaby Lakers were beaten in six games by the Maple Ridge Burrards in the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series on Saturday. final period. Dickson was the game’s first star with three goals and three assists. Burnaby junior A callup Peyton Lupul was also named a game star, registering a four-goal game in his WLA playoff debut, including a first-period hat trick. “He’s definitely a good kid and it was definitely a special moment for him,” said McDade, who will have to answer some tough questions over how his team performed this season and in the playoffs. Burnaby, who had the league’s best power play and strong spe-
cial teams during the regular season, failed to produce at even near its potential in the playoffs. The power play sputtered to a meager 27 per cent and its penalty kill was just slightly over 50 per cent, despite four shorthanded counters. The Lakers also had just one player who averaged more than three points per game in the sixgame semifinal. “I think with the additions we made, we definitely should have been (better). But no (Matt) Beers and no Ilija (Gajic) definitely hurt,” McDade said. “I think we
have to address what players are fitting in and what don’t.” Clearly the Lakers’ back end is an area that needs an immediate refit. “When you lose to a team that pushes you around a lot, you may need more muscle. But we’ll talk about that,” McDade added. Maple Ridge will advance to the WLA final for the first time in more than a decade against the regular season champion Victoria Shamrocks at the Q Centre in Victoria on Wednesday. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Friday at the Cam Neely at 6 p.m.

Three former Burnaby Girls club soccer players helped Canada to an international first. Canada’s under-15 girls’ national team, including Camila Gomez Hernandez, Julia Grosso and Emma Regan of Burnaby, defeated Haiti 4-1 on penalty kicks to win the inaugural CONCACAF championships on Sunday. The two previously unbeaten sides played to a 1-1 draw in regulation time, despite Canada outshooting the Caribbean Islanders 14-3 and holding a 4-1 edge on corner kicks in the title match at Truman Bodden Sports Complex in Georgetown in the Cayman Islands. The two teams also drew 1-1 in a previous Group D game on Aug. 11. Haiti’s top scorer Nerilia Mondesir opened the scoring on a steal in the offensive zone, firing home her sixth goal of the tournament, in the 37th minute. Mondesir, 15, shared the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer with Chelsea Green of the Cayman Islands. Tournament MVP Sarah Stratigakis tallied the equalizer for Canada in the 64th minute, heading in a cross from Shana Flynn that beat Haitian keeper Magdala Macean. Macean did well to repel later chances from Anyssa Ibrahim and Lauren Raimondo. Nahida Baalbaki also rattled a shot off the post on a free kick opportunity, while Mya Jones also came close, clipping a shot on goal off the top of the crossbar on a long-range effort. In the shootout, Canada keeper Lysianne Proulx stopped two Haitian attempts from the penalty spot. Canada scored on all four of its opportunities, including Samantha Chang’s eventual championship winner. Stratigakis, Flynn and Jordyn Huitema also scored in the shootout.

Burnaby’s Lucas Naidu had two hits and two key putouts in the final inning to help the North Delta Blue Jays win the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League championship title in Victoria on Aug. 10. The Blue Jays shortstop sealed North Delta’s 21 victory over the North Shore Twins Carson Ho of Alpha and Steven Moretto of Notre Dame in the playoff final throwing the batter out at first base on a routine ground ball to end the final inning. “It was my first provincial championship in PBL,” said Naidu, who also won a provincial and Western Canadian title with Burnaby Minor in his first year of peewee ball. Naidu, who is going into Grade 12 at Cariboo Hill this fall, finished the provincial tournament bat-

ting .357, while the Blue Jays won all five games they played in the post season, including a 3-2 victory over the Whalley Chiefs to advance to the final. North Delta also eked out a 2-1 win over the Nanaimo Pirates to keep its perfect record intact. “We had some really big hits at the end of the games. One was a walkoff (single). Alex Davis got the hit,” said Naidu. Earlier in the month, Dakota Curry hit a walkoff double to give the Langley Blaze a 4-3 victory over the Twins in the PBL midget final in Surrey. Burnaby’s Anthony Cusati had two hits and scored a run for North Shore, while Twins’ teammate Nick Favaro also added a hit in the final game. Cusati and Favaro led the Twins in batting at the provincials with .394 and .385 averages, respectively.
Favaro was also named to the PBL first team as a catcher. Ryan Matsuda of Burnaby was named the league’s most valuable player. The former Vancouver Cannons first all-star pitcher led the PBL with nine wins and five shutouts last season. In other PBL news, the league revoked the membership of the New Westminster-based Vancouver Cannons junior and senior teams on Aug. 12. The City of New Westminster and Vancouver Whitecaps FC recently signed a memorandum of understanding to turn Queen’s Park Stadium into a dedicated soccer venue that would accommodate a United Soccer League franchise. The PBL requires all teams have access to permanent facilities in order to support a full league schedule and all team practices.
The North Burnaby Boxing Club will be sending five fighters to the upcoming Canadian nationals in Mississauga, Ont. in October. Leo Sammarelli at 130 pounds, Remy Lavoie at 154 lbs., Robert Couzens at 160 lbs., heavyweight Adam Querido and Rosalia Calla in the women’s 112 lbs. will compete.
