When young people hear the call to action T

wo young Burnaby girls are in the media spotlight after choosing to cross the injunction lines on Burnaby Mountain Sunday. The NOW spoke with the girls and their parents about what happened and the decision to let their daughters cross. ◆ They were two tiny voices on a tinny megaphone in a packed crowd at the edge of the police zone. It was Day 4 of the protests against Kinder Morgan’s survey work on Burnaby Mountain, and hundreds of people flocked to the ON MY BEAT conservation Jennifer Moreau area, including families and children. “I’m 11 years old and I’m going to cross the police line, because I hate what’s being done over there to the mountain.” The first was Kate, an 11-yearold student from Forest Grove Elementary, a school next to the current Kinder Morgan pipeline. “Every time that drill goes down, that’s one part of my green future being taken away from me,” she said. Kate’s mom, Kim Fink-Jensen, was going to cross with her, and her friend, Naomi, decided to join. “I’m 11, and Kinder Morgan is wrong. What they are doing is wrong, they can’t just go around drilling holes in mountains just ‘cause they want oil and money. It’s wrong,” she said on the megaphone. And with that, Kim and the girls slipped beneath the yellow police tape. The crowd roared. As Naomi tells it, what happened next was relatively benign. “The police were very polite.

All they did was escort me and my friend Kate and her mom to a black SUV, (in) which we could not open the doors,” she told the NOW. “We sat there for about 20 minutes. The police were very nice. They even offered us snacks.” Since that moment, both girls have been the subject of media stories, and there’s been some controversy over letting children attend protests. Both girls insist the decision to cross was theirs, and theirs alone. “I am very concerned about the environmental issue that will most likely happen if Kinder Morgan goes ahead with its expansion,” Naomi said. “I believe that transporting oil by pipeline is quite

dangerous, because if the oil spills there will be very severe environmental consequences.” Kate also expressed concerns about the environment. “I wanted to go across the line to take more of a stand than protesting against … the Kinder Morgan drilling and against the bigger issue of climate change,” Kate told the NOW. “Protesting shouldn’t be limited to an age. We are the ones inheriting this world, we should have a right to understand what’s going on and protest it if we feel the need.” The decision to let the girls cross was not taken lightly.

KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE

More arrests as work continues Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The number of protesters on Burnaby Mountain peaked over the weekend, and arrests have climbed to at least 79, as people chose to violate a court injunction prohibiting interference with Kinder Morgan’s survey work for a proposed pipeline route. The majority of those arrested were released on a promise to appear in court and not return to the injunction areas. On Sunday, police arrested more protesters and apprehended two young girls on Burnaby Mountain (see related story on the front page), as hundreds, including a bus full of people from Vancouver Island, gathered for yet another rally in opposition to Kinder Morgan’s plan to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline. David Suzuki made a surprise appearance at the rally, following the arrest of his grandson, Tamo Campos, last Thursday. Suzuki admonished police for allegedly pulling his grandson across police lines to arrest him, which police say didn’t happen. “I have nothing but great thoughts towards the RCMP, but now you are here to enforce the law. That does not mean that you are above the law or that you make your own law,” Suzuki said, as the crowd cheered. “My grandson was dragged across the line yesterday or the day before and arrested. You are breaking the law. I am disappointed. I am disappointed. It grieves me because of the respect we hold for you.”

Civil disobedience: Mira Light Hunter hands off personal effects after her arrest. She is among at least 79 people who have chosen to cross the injunction lines. Protesters have maintained a steady presence on the mountain and are calling for more to join them.

Suzuki later told reporters he didn’t want to risk his job as host of CBC’s The Nature of Things by getting arrested. Suzuki opposes Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion because he’s concerned about climate change and the extraction and consumption of fossil fuels. According to Suzuki, 80 per cent of fossil fuels need to be left in the ground if Canada wants to

meet its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help prevent the global temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius. Among Friday’s arrests were Burnaby resident Ruth Walmsley and SFU professor Lynne Quarmby, one of five people named in Kinder Morgan’s multimillion-dollar civil suit. Staff Sgt. Major John Buis of

the Burnaby RCMP said police are recommending charges of assault against one man who allegedly spit on an officer on Friday. Another individual could be facing obstruction charges for trying to interfere with the arrest. The protesters have set up campsites with food and firewood stashed on site. Some are sleeping Kinder Morgan Page 10

She’s been out of work since last Thursday, when police blocked off Centennial Way, which is the only road access to the Burnaby Mountain restaurant. “Now I’m going into a week without work,” she told the NOW. “I have no income coming in.” According to Harper, 54 people are out of work while the restaurant remains closed.

Homeowners will pay more for sewer, water Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The cost of sewer and water services in Burnaby is going up, following the approval of increases at Monday’s council meeting. Starting Jan. 1, residents will see a three per cent increase to the city’s sanitary sewer and water utility rates to cover costs associated with water delivery and provide funding for operating and capital works. The changes are part of the city’s annual review of rates, which determine appropriate adjustments to corresponding bylaws to

maintain the services. Theaveragenon-metered single-family home will see water rates rise by $16.35, while sewer rates will climb by $15.38. Payment is due by March 15, but the city offers a five-per-cent discount to residents who pay their water and sewer bills prior to the deadline. While the city’s water rates have increased over the last few years – largely due to recent projects by Metro Vancouver – the amount at which they’ve gone up has steadily dropped over the last five years. In 2010, Burnaby’s water rates went up by 14 per cent, dropping

every year since then. “Over the last number of years, (Metro Vancouver) had a whole bunch of fairly large capital projects coming onto the tab,” said Leon Gous, director of engineering with the city. “Those increases were quite heavy to obviously account for those capital payments. “For water, there aren’t any new big ones coming up at the moment, so we’re getting a bit of a break, if you like.” Likewise, Burnaby’s sewer rates increased by 8.5 per cent in 2010, but dropped by a few points annually to this year’s three

per cent. “In sewer, there wasn’t as big of a dramatic shift – sewer is always a bit up and down,” said Gous. “There are some future works coming up for improvements of the regional system, … but we haven’t been able to determine from Metro when they expect that to start coming in.” Additionally, council also approved a 2.5-per-cent increase to the city’s sewer connection permit rates and a new $380 fee for sewer service connection adjustment applications. “The permit fees are normally for when you want a

issue hoping someone else will step in. To say this is a doomed non-plan of a plan seems rather obvious. First Call’s report makes 16 recommendations, including increasing the B.C. minimum wage and welfare rates and adopting a $10-a-day child care program to cut the child poverty rate to seven per cent within the next seven years. Not surprisingly, most of the children are found in single-mom homes who exist in low-income homes or on social assistance. Single moms who, if they can’t

get help with child care, may be doomed to a life on welfare. And, even if they can get a job, it’s likely to be at the minimum wage which, again, puts them at a poverty level. Our premier continually tells us that we live in one of the richest and most bountiful provinces in the country. If that is true, how can we justify this incredible injustice forced upon our children. ‘Families first.’ We only wish it applied to the kids in poor single-parent households.

Why the NDP needs to worry IN THE HOUSE

Keith Baldrey

he municipal election results in three key areas should cause alarm bells to ring in NDP circles, and celebration fireworks to go off in Green Party ones and perhaps among B.C. Liberals as well. In Vancouver, Surrey and the capital region, voter turnout increased significantly – but relatively few of those new voters opted for NDP-linked candidates. Instead, the Green Party and centre-right parties were the chief recipients of the flood of new voters. Those in the left in Vancouver are tearing their hair out because they think that the far-left COPE party split the vote and cost Vision Vancouver support, but that’s not necessarily what happened. The real story is that the NDP is not getting new voters out, and that has dire implications for the party in the next provincial election if that trend holds. In Vancouver, for example, the Green Party’s Adrienne Carr shot to the top of the council polls as she increased her support by more than 25,000 votes,

which is somewhat staggering. The right-leaning NPA boosted its council vote by roughly 12,000 votes. But while incumbent Mayor Gregor Robertson boosted his own totals slightly, the Vision/ NDP vote was essentially stagnant, as its top candidate got slightly less than its top candidate in 2011. The party also flat-lined in the vote for school board, and lost control of the park board (this, even though 37,000 people voted who did not vote in 2011). It’s hard to see a credible argument that if COPE were to disappear tomorrow, all of its supporters would flock to Vision. A significant number would, of course, but I fail to see any evidence to suggest most would. In fact, the vote for COPE city council candidates in this election actually dropped in this election, despite all those new voters. No, the story in Vancouver is that the Green Party was able to greatly increase its support, while the NPA also boosted its vote by a significant amount (the Greens also elected two parks board commissioners and hold the deciding vote on the school board, as their support shot up by 10,000 to 15,000 votes). In Victoria, the outcome was slightly more encouraging for the NDP, but the party lost the Election Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No good can come of pipeline Dear Editor:

Re: Sober second look needed in this situation, Opinion, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 21. I couldn’t agree more with your calming editorial. As a spokesperson for BROKE (Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion) for the past two-and-a-half years, I have considered many of the local risks which you mention. I would add the dangers of accident-free operation: the impact on Chilliwack’s air quality from the growth of diesel PM2.5 from tankers, tugs, coal trains and container trucks coming from a greatly expanded Deltaport. Add the pollution from expanded Fraser Surrey Docks, Neptune terminals and Kinder Morgan’s proposed three berths.

What about the “normal spillage” of dilbit from three berths instead of one? What about the dredging required to squeeze those huge tankers under the Second Narrows railroad bridge at high tide? And the best-case scenario we could hope for is: no noise, no fumes, no spills on land or water, and all that carbon gets spilled into the atmosphere as intended. All that subsidized carbon melts the Arctic while clean solar limps along. Meanwhile, the economist Robyn Allan, former CEO of ICBC, finds that Kinder Morgan is not paying anything like its fair share of taxes. Too bad we all can’t pay next to nothing on taxes and instead fund the campaigns of those who enrich us. The National Energy Board is so corrupt, it puts the fox in the henhouse to shame.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR When greed killed justice continued from page 6

That’s why I made a mock coffin that says “K-M GREED KILLS JUSTICE.” Oh yes. let’s not forget First Nations’ “free, prior and informed consent.” Kinder Morgan did. Karl Perrin, Burnaby

Protests a no-win situation Dear Editor:

Who are the protesters on Burnaby Mountain and when did it become their mountain? In my 20-plus years of daily walks in the area, I haven’t seen any of them. Speaking with them last week, I was told by one that he had just spent two days in jail for defying the court order at Oppenheimer Park tent city. Has anyone bothered to ask any of these protesters who they are or where they’re from? Of course, this would lay aside the myth that this is a Burnaby uprising. The SFU professors stand and espouse their oppsition to fossil fuel. Further up the mountain, the SFU parking lots are full to overflowing including the numerous

professor reserved spaces. Is there just a little hypocrisy here? Is Mayor Derek Corrigan smiling as he does when he is particularly pleased with having put one over on the public? In this case he has overloaded the minimal staffed RCMP detachment. As you will note the Abbotsford Police are a required presence to carry out the court order enforcement. It is indeed unfortunate that a no-win situation which was created to win an election is now playing out. The perpetrator of this scam meanwhile sits back and harrumphs about those awful job creating private enterprises that pay the tax bill. Ray Power, Burnaby

MLA’s silence is deafening Dear Editor:

I find it interesting that Mr. Richard Lee, our MLA for Burnaby North, has not made any appearance with respect to the issues with Kinder Morgan on Burnaby Mountain. Tell us, Mr. Lee, what are your thoughts on this issue that effects so many of the people that elected you? Tim Deaton, Burnaby

seemingly impregnable mayor’s chair to a Greenlike candidate. Lisa Helps beat incumbent Dean Fortin, despite the fact that the capital region’s NDP MLAs all strongly endorsed him and publicly campaigned for him. Helps’ victory sent a number of New Democrats reeling. Unlike Vancouver, Victoria’s municipal scene is less party-oriented, so it’s hard to make apples and apples comparisons on the council front, but it appears NDP-leaning candidates were able to take advantage of a higher turnout (almost 7,500) to slightly boost their winning totals from 2011. Not so for Fortin. His support actually dropped by almost 1,000 people, despite that higher turnout. Helps was propelled into office by new voters, many

of them young and likely Green-oriented. Considering the fact the Greens almost won the federal byelection in Victoria two years ago, Helps’ win shouldn’t come as a total surprise. The capital region itself saw other Green candidates elected, including a new mayor in Central Saanich. These events suggest the NDP has work to do to consolidate one of its traditional strongholds. But I’d say right now, the odds favour the Greens stealing at least one more seat in the capital region in the 2017 provincial election. In Surrey, the centreright Surrey First party steamrolled to victory in both city council and school board races, as again more new voters backed that party than any of the other alternatives. This put a big smile on

the faces of B.C. Liberals, who know Surrey – not Vancouver – is one of the keys to them holding power in this province. There are two dozen provincial ridings spread among these three cities and regions. If a similar wave of new voters materialize in the 2017 provincial election and vote in similar patterns, the Greens could be the biggest benefactors. Of course, this latest round of municipal elections – with the spike in voter turnout – may be an anomaly. But if it isn’t – if it is a sign of renewed interest in politics among those who never bothered to vote before – it could be point to a big shake-up in future election outcomes in this province.

BURNABYNOW STORY: Burnaby RCMP stand watch while protesters defy injunction – Nov. 17

comment via burnabynow.com I Hawkman100: You’ve heard of that TV show called Canada’s Worst Driver? I think there should be a new show called Canada’s Worst Hypocrites. The show would be about people who live in a suburb of Vancouver and who drive fossil fuel powered cars and heat their homes with petroleum products and have computers and numerous other goods that are made with petroleum products. All of those petroleum products reach that suburb by pipeline. Yet, these same people are going ballistic and hysterical over the possibility of another pipeline that would parallel an existing pipeline and cause minimal disruption.

Residents warn about break-ins Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Residents of a highrise condo on Southoaks Crescent are warning others in the area to be on guard following two breakins to their building in less than a week. Last Tuesday, at 4:30 a.m. three unknown suspects, two men and a woman, broke into the condo building in the 6000 block of Southoaks Crescent. Through surveillance footage, it was determined the thieves opened the condo’s security door using a master code to hack into the system, Raymond Wang told the NOW. “They had no fear, they just walked in,” Wang said. The thieves then broke into the building’s mailroom and took everything from the residents’ mailboxes. They were in and out of the building in

five minutes, according to Wang. The following day, a security company was brought in to reprogram the security door system. But that didn’t stop the thieves from returning. On Sunday, at about 4:10 a.m., the suspects returned to the building and managed to gain entry. “They just magically touched something on their phone, and without touching the intercom, they just walked right through,” Wang said. This time, not only did they steal from residents’ mailboxes, they also entered the underground parking area and broke into eight storage lockers, stealing a variety of items, according to Wang. Residents contacted the Burnaby RCMP following both break-ins. Anyone with information is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

Pipeline opposition is growing at university Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Opposition to Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion is growing at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus, just a short distance from a potential pipeline route through the Burnaby Mountain conservation area. On Nov. 13, the Simon Fraser Public Interest Research Group organized a rally on campus against the pipeline. Meanwhile, the SFU Faculty Association voted in support of three motions related to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. The first called for the university’s board to divest in fossil fuels. The second was to oppose the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, no matter where the route goes. The third was in support of people’s communication rights and in opposition to the misuse of the legal process to intimidate or silence lawful expression of opinion. That third

motion is a response to Kinder Morgan’s multimillion-dollar civil suit against five protesters, including two SFU professors. SFU communication professor Bob Hackett brought two of the motions to the association, which represents 1,100 SFU professors, lecturers, lab instructors and librarians. Hackett is a Burnaby resident opposed to the pipeline, who was granted intervenor status in the National Energy Board hearing, since the pipeline route could come close to his East Burnaby townhouse complex. The divestment motion was brought forward by another professor. “I think I was very surprised and pleased they were passed without (a) dissenting vote,” Hackett said. “It suggests Kinder Morgan’s heavyhanded tactics are backfiring in public opinion. I think opposition is growing.” The NOW requested an interview with SFU president Andrew Petter but was told the university had no comment.

say anything about the police. They are trying to keep people safe,” Harper said. “It’s hard to understand why Kinder Morgan can do their business and we can’t do ours. We just want to work.” The NOW contacted the restaurant and the company that owns Horizons, but calls were not immediately returned. Ali Hounsell, a spokesperson with the Trans Mountain expansion team, told the NOW the company is in contact with

Horizons regarding compensation. “At the end of the day, we will be talking with them about compensation,” Hounsell said. “Right now, the extent of that is not fully understood yet, so it would be kind of preliminary to put any numbers or understand that because the work is still ongoing. Essentially, what is causing the disruption is the closure of the road and the protesters there, so we’ll have to wait till things are sort of settled to figure out that fully.”

The National Energy Board is still reviewing Kinder Morgan’s plan to increase capacity on the Trans Mountain pipeline from 300,000 barrels of oil a day to 890,000. Kinder Morgan is drilling two six-inch holes roughly 250 metres into the ground in two locations:

alongside Centennial Way and in a clearing in the bush. The samples are to determine if the area is stable enough to support a pipeline. The survey work should wrap up in the coming days. “Trans Mountain supports the right of protesters to lawfully assemble and respectfully demonstrate their interests,” the company said in a media statement. “Trans Mountain

is committed to continuing the dialogue while our application is before the National Energy Board. While we support lawful protest, we will continue to put the safety of our workers and everyone on Burnaby Mountain as our first priority.” The Burnaby Mountain conservation area is cityowned land, and the city is also in the midst of two legal cases against Kinder Morgan.

Beer tasting takes flight in Burnaby brewery Tereza Verenca

staff reporter

Belgian beer enthusiasts living in Burnaby don’t have to travel far to experience the brew’s complexity, thanks to the opening of a new tasting room near the Production Way-University SkyTrain station. Dageraad Brewing, located at 114-3191 Thunderbird Cres., has opened the doors of its new 12-by-12-foot space. As you walk in, three wooden stools stand up against the bar, with the menu hanging right in front. The shelves below are home to a ’70s Harman Kardon receiver, some speakers and a selection of small and large growlers. To the left is a beer fridge with the brewery’s signature blonde

and amber ales. “It’s definitely small, but traffic is picking up. It doesn’t take many people coming in here for this room to get slammed,” said owner Ben Coli. The company opened the brewery earlier this year, with the plan of eventually building a tasting room. “We knew we were going to do it in the long run, but we were figuring out how to run a brewery first,” he said. “The other thing is that it’s really expensive. Between the bar and the finishing, this room costs around $20,000.” Coli has made it inexpensive for customers to come in for a beer tasting, with a flight costing $6. Consumers are offered Dageraad’s hoppy amber, a peppery blonde, a fruity seasonal concoction and

the appropriately-dubbed Burnabarian – a light and crisp beer. Part of the reason for opening the tasting room is to attract more local business, according to Coli, who told the NOW he hasn’t been able to get his product into Burnaby liquor stores and restaurants, compared to Vancouver liquor stores and restaurants. “We just haven’t found a home here yet. I’d love to find a business that would keep us on regularly. We’ve had a lot of people tell us “Hey, we live just around the corner.’” Coli decided to start a brewery after travelling to Belgium with some friends a few years back. He was taken to Dageraadplaats, a square filled with cafés and tables full of

people drinking Belgian beer. This sparked his passion for the intertwined aromas and flavours. Upon returning, Coli bought a secondhand home-brewing kit off Craigslist and made his own version of the Belgian-style brew. Fast-forward four years and Coli is behind the bar of his own tasting room. “There’s only three full-time employees, so we’re brewers by day and bartenders by night,” he laughed. “It’s really fun to have our consumers right in front of us.” The Dageraad tasting room is open Thursdays and Fridays, from 4 to 8 p.m., Saturdays from noon until 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon until 6 p.m. For more about the Brewery, check out its website at dageraadbrewing.com.

Can you help keep the roads safe this winter? Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Residents looking for a way to give back to the community this holiday season are encouraged to consider volunteering for Operation Red Nose. The annual campaign, which provides drivers with a safe ride home for them and their vehicles during the holiday season, kicks off in Burnaby on Friday. While the regional outfit already has some volunteers, it could always use more, according to Chris Wilson of Operation Red Nose B.C. “We’re always looking for volunteers,” he said. “As the program grows in awareness, there’s just always more demand for rides, and we are kind of limited with how many rides we can give based on how many volunteers we have.” This is the third year Operation Red Nose has been active in Burnaby, which is part of the TriCities and New Westminster regional outfit. Last year, nearly 1,000 rides were given to drivers in the area, and that number is expected to increase as awareness for the program grows, Wilson said.

Offered on the four weekends leading up to Christmas and on New Year’s Eve, people who’ve had too much to drink or are not feeling fit to drive can call 778-866-6673 and three volunteers will come and pick them up. Two volunteers – the driver and a navigator – will drive the person home in their own car while the third volunteer follows in the escort vehicle. Volunteers work 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. and are provided with free food throughout the evening. Rides are by donation, and all proceeds collected in Burnaby, New West or the Tri-Cities go to KidSport, a

charity that provides financial assistance for kids who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to play a sport. The program sponsor, Metropolis at Metrotown, covers administrative costs so all the money collected goes directly to KidSport, Wilson added. Volunteer drivers need a valid driver’s licence and must be at least 21 years old. Navigators must be at least 19 years old, and escort drivers must have a licence and their own vehicle. All volunteers are also required to complete a criminal record check. See operationrednose tricities.com for more on volunteering.

Burnaby Board of Trade concludes record membership drive By Michael Keller michael@bbot.ca The Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) set a new personal record, signing up 102 new members in just two and a half days. The milestone was made possible thanks to an innovative, high energy membership campaign organized by a group called Your Chamber Connection. Over the course of the event six teams chaired by Burnaby’s savviest business leaders worked against the clock in a competitive, loud – and ﬂamboyantly colourful – setting to sign up new Board of Trade members and create greater community awareness about the important role of the BBOT. “The ability to attract new members and continue to grow our business community

is vital to the success and economic well-being of everyone who lives, works or does business in Burnaby,” said BBOT President & CEO Paul Holden. “We are the voice of business in this community and our strength and inﬂuence comes directly from our members. Many businesses join us for beneﬁts and services or networking opportunities, but many do so simply because they understand the importance of being represented. They get that an investment in us is a direct investment in this community and a successful business environment.” The Burnaby Board of Trade actually serves as the economic development agency for the City of Burnaby, a fact that many people are unaware of according to Holden. It is a unique model that sets the

Burnaby Board of Trade apart from virtually every other board of trade or chamber of commerce in the country. Scotiabank’s Cheryl Westgard and Bala Naidoo of Investors Group were honoured at the event’s after-party celebration for chairing the teams who brought in the most new members and highest new member revenue respectively. When asked about what made the event so successful, Naidoo commented: “When trusted sources – like those who took part in this event – reach out to their contacts, it makes the decision to join the BBOT more compelling and attractive. Building business is a shared responsibility, and we just witnessed an engaged community of 150 individuals come together and embrace a new way to make business better in Burnaby.” And with over a hundred new members this week, the Burnaby Board of Trade just gained a great deal more clout in their ability to advocate to all levels of government on behalf of businesses in Burnaby. ¾

Paladin Security wins con’t from cover security companies in Canada with offices from coast to coast, and their headquarters right here in Burnaby. Starting in 1976 as a modest 4 employee operation, Paladin is among the top 100 fastest growing companies in British Columbia with leading edge technology, and the most responsive customer service programs in the industry. Winning in two different categories was the Down Syndrome Research Foundation, who took home the honours in the categories of Family Friendly organization of the Year, and Not-For-Proﬁt Organization of the Year.

“This is a testament to what we do in Burnaby, what we do for the families we support, with very frugal management of expenses and lots of fundraising,” said Dawn McKenna, the Foundation’s Executive Director. Other highlights of the evening included a Champagne reception to kick off the night, the formal introduction of the Hart House into the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame, and the always witty (and slightly self-deprecating) video introduction by Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan – a tradition of the Gala which this year featured a cameo by Burnaby native Michael Buble.

“The Awards Gala is the biggest night on our event calendar, and one that I really enjoy a lot,” remarked Burnaby Board of Trade President & CEO Paul Holden. “It’s a special opportunity for us, and the City of Burnaby to truly recognize the businesses and organizations that make this community such an exceptional place to live, work, and do business. I’m very proud, not only of the winners, but of all our truly deserving nominees.” See below for photos and the full list of winners in each category. ¾

P the pledge

www.bbot.ca

Is your business prepared for new incoming environmental regulations? As part of our Pledge for a Sustainable Community program (bbotpledge.ca), the Burnaby Board of Trade is committed to providing sustainability resources, advice, and tools to our membership and the Burnaby business community. In 2015, Metro Vancouver will be introducing an organics disposal ban to help change the way we manage waste. Ensure you businesses is ready to adapt. See the Q&A below to find answers to some of the common questions businesses have asked leading up to the ban. 1. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means we will no longer throw food in the garbage. The ban is on disposal of the ‘organic’ waste. In this case ‘organic’ refers to things that can decay into compost, specifically food and yard waste. Metro Vancouver, the regional government, manages all of the garbage produced from 2.3 million residents and businesses in the region (geographic range from Lion’s Bay to Langley, in South Western British Columbia). Some businesses have been choosing to recycle their food waste for many years. Putting a disposal ban in place is a tool to encourage further reducing and recycling the food we waste. 2. WHO IS IMPACTED? The organics disposal ban applies to all waste generated in this region, whether that waste is residential, commercial, or institutional. Everyone needs to be separating food from regular garbage at home, work, school and public places. 3. ARE WE THE FIRST PLACE TO DO THIS? No, while our region is seen as a leader in waste management for having a firm commitment to recycling more of our garbage, we are not the first to put a disposal ban on organics. San Francisco, Halifax, Nanaimo, Portland, Massachusetts as examples. The upcoming organics ban is the latest change in the way we manage our waste, and like blue box recycling or cardboard-only bins, this practice will seem more normal over time. 4. WHAT‘S WRONG WITH PUTTING FOOD IN THE GARBAGE? In our region, about 20% of the garbage going to landfill or wasteto-energy is food; that’s over 250,000 tonnes per year, and is similar to global numbers. When we throw away food all the nutrients, soil, water, money and energy that went into food production is lost. Further, food decaying under the landfill, where there is little oxygen, produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. In the right conditions, food that is separated from the garbage for proper processing can decay cleanly into compost or biofuel. So instead of wasting nutrients and producing greenhouse gasses, we can capture nutrients and produce soil to grow more food in or a biofuel to replace using fossil fuels. 5. WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF FOOD THAT ARE CONSIDERED BANNED? Food is thrown away all along the production line, from growing to processing, to retailing and into restaurants and homes. Restaurant and retail businesses might think of pre- consumer (in the kitchen before cooking) and post-consumer (plate scrapings and leftovers) foods. The disposal ban also includes packaged and frozen food, bakery, delis and cafes – any food you can think of. 6. HOW WILL MY BUSINESS SEPARATE FOOD FROM REGULAR GARBAGE? You’re not creating more garbage, but separating the same garbage into different containers. You need to assess how you currently

manage your garbage; including ordering, storage, kitchen preparation, staff rooms, bins and contracts. Metro Vancouver has a guide to getting started for restaurants. Visit metrovancouver.org and search ‘Closing the Loop’. City websites have tips for residents, including apartments. 7. IS THIS GOING TO COST ME MORE MONEY? For many businesses, separating food from regular garbage significantly reduces the volume and service required for regular garbage. It also prompts us all to recognize and reduce waste. Some businesses already separating food from regular garbage find it cost-neutral, while others see slight decrease or increase in costs, depending on their bin sizes and hauling service contracts. In 2014 Metro Vancouver is working with small businesses to record and share examples and costs to separating food from regular garbage. Results will be shared by end of 2014. 8. DO I HAVE TO COMMIT SPACE AND PROVIDE DIFFERENT ACCESS TO STORE OR HAUL AWAY A SEPARATE BIN FOR FOOD? You will need space for the food bin(s). Your garbage hauler may have solutions. You may be able to share a food bin with a neighbouring business or start to use smaller garbage bins. 9. ARE THERE COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE SERVICES LIKE HAULING FOOD TO A COMPOST FACILITY, THAT CAN HELP ME GET STARTED, OR DE-PACKAGE FOOD IF REQUIRED? As more businesses start separating waste, more services are becoming available. The Recycling Council of BC Hotline at 604-RECYCLE (604-732-9253) maintains a current list of service providers. Many hauling businesses that collect your regular garbage can also collect food waste. Other businesses only collect recycling. 10. CAN I LINE THE COLLECTION BINS WITH PLASTIC BAGS? Nuisances like odour need to be managed in order to keep them from becoming a problem. Bins can be cleaned on the spot, or switched for cleaned bins at collection. The facilities in our region make high-quality compost, and end users of that compost don’t want product with plastics in it. Often plastic-looking bags labelled ‘compostable’, ‘biodegradable’ or similar often require very specific conditions to work. Also, it is difficult for employees to identify the bag type in large mixed waste piles. For these reasons plastic bag liners are generally not accepted. There are some exceptions for commercial waste, which is high volume compared to residential waste. You need to clarify your options with your landlord or service provider. For home collection use a newsprint to line your bins, or tip and rinse regularly. In addition to plastic, examples of other contaminants to avoid are labels, wrapping, elastics, meat trays, plastic cutlery, and aluminum foil. 11. HOW WILL THE BAN BE ENFORCED AND WILL THERE BE FINES ONCE THE DISPOSAL BAN IS IN PLACE? Metro Vancouver has disposal bans on many other recyclable items like cardboard, paper and hard plastics. Enforcement is done when garbage loads are delivered to a disposal facility. There are fines associated with all disposal bans. Our priority is to keep food out of the landfill, not to develop an extensive fining process. 12. WHEN DOES THIS START? The organics disposal ban will come into effect in 2015. Initial enforcement will include warnings and information, and after a grace period surcharges will apply. Many households and businesses are separating food waste from regular garbage already. Need more information? Visit metrovancouver.org and search ‘Organic Disposal Ban’.

Reintroducing Burnaby’s Mayor and Council following the November municipal election OFFICE OF THE MAYOR DEREK CORRIGAN I was born in Vancouver and graduated from UBC Law. I was called to the B.C. Bar in 1978. My wife Kathy and I have been married since 1976 and have four grown children. Kathy and I have been very engaged in community activities since we moved to Burnaby in 1978. I was elected to Burnaby City Council in 1987. I was elected Mayor in 2002 and re-elected in 2005, 2008 and 2011. This year marks my 27th consecutive year as a member of Burnaby Council. In 1991, I became Burnaby’s GVRD Representative and was soon appointed to the Executive Committee. In 1994 I was appointed Chair of BC Transit, during my tenure, BC Transit was named as the Best System in Canada (1995) and the Best System in North America (1996). After leaving BC Transit, I joined the law ﬁrm of Lindsay, Kenney and practised labour law for the next ﬁve years. I returned to the GVRD in 2000 and served as Chair of the Water Committee and as Chair of the Regional Planning and Agriculture Committee. I have also served for four years as an elected director of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and currently serve as a Trustee of the Municipal Finance Authority of BC. I have been an active supporter of the Mayors for Peace movement and have served as the Canadian Secretary for the 3,793 member cities. I have also received a special recognition award for my participation in the United Nations Nuclear NonProliferation Conference.

OFFICE OF COUNCILLOR PIETRO CALENDINO I moved to Canada from Italy in 1959. I graduated from Britannia High School in Vancouver and went on to achieve two degrees from UBC – Honours Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts in Languages – and a teaching certiﬁcate from SFU. I worked as a teacher for 30 years. My wife Cedna and I have called Burnaby home for 41 years. I have been active in Burnaby politics for most of those because I believe in the value of community involvement. I was elected to the Burnaby School Board in 1987 and served for 9 years, including two years as Chair. In 1996, I was elected as the MLA for Burnaby North. I was elected to Burnaby City Council in 2002 and have been re-elected in 2005, 2008 and 2011. Working together with Council, City staff and the community, I was instrumental in launching the “Giro di Burnaby” that brings value to Burnaby citizens and awareness to local businesses. With my council colleagues I have brought to Burnaby dozens cultural events throughout the year under the Festivals Burnaby policy. As Chair of Burnaby’s Community Policing Committee, I have worked closely with Burnaby Council and staff, citizens, business representatives and the RCMP in launching Burnaby’s Crime Reduction Strategy that has resulted in a signiﬁcant decrease in all monitored crime types. I have also been instrumental in moving forward the successful Business Watch program launched in Northwest Burnaby.

DAN JOHNSTON I was first elected to City Council 1993 after serving on Burnaby’s Parks Commission. It was in my role as Chair of the Commission that I further developed my longstanding passion for environmental initiatives and refined my goal to serve the community and help make Burnaby the green heart of the lower mainland. I was re-elected in 1996, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008 and most recently in 2011. A Burnaby resident since 1961, I live with my wife and university age son in the Lakeview-Mayview neighbourhood. I am Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CGA). I am proud of the numerous, innovative environmental initiatives brought forward by Burnaby City Council that now serve as models for cities and regions in the lower mainland and beyond. My efforts to make the dredging of Burnaby Lake a reality included ensuring the process was environmentally sustainable. Over the years, I have played a significant role on Council with my oversight of a number of important City projects, including the Eileen Dailly Pool, the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Riverway Golf Course, Fire Hall No. 7 and the Tommy Douglas Library. I have been influential in the development of Burnaby’s Youth Policy, which gives young people a voice in decisions affecting them and was also instrumental in introducing the Burnaby Recreation Credit program that provides improved access to recreation services for the financially disadvantaged.

ANNE KANG I was first elected as a Burnaby City Councillor in 2008 and re-elected for a second term in 2011. I live and work in Burnaby and my husband and I are busy parents of two young children who attend school in the Burnaby school system. I grew up in the South Slope, Cascade Heights, and Inman neighbourhoods. I studied at UBC where I obtained a Bachelor of Music, a Bachelor of Education – Elementary, a Diploma in Special Education – Learning Disability, a Master of Special Education – Gifted and Creative Learners, and Montessori Certification. I currently teach music in the Burnaby School District where I have gained further insight into the important connection between great public services and healthy, growing communities. My passion for working with people is reflected in my strong record of dedication to enhancing my community by taking on leadership roles with a number of organizations. I have an ongoing commitment to the environment and one of my proudest accomplishments as a City Councillor was my involvement in Burnaby’s Food Scraps Recycling Program that aims to separate food scraps and organic materials from household waste. This valuable initiative has resulted in reducing household waste by half, helping to create a more sustainable community. With the recent developments of Burnaby’s city centres, I want to continue to maintain the high quality of life by implementing actions as suggested by the Environmental, Social, and Economic Sustainability Strategies as developed by council.

Reintroducing con’t from p. 11

COLLEEN JORDAN I lived and worked in Burnaby since 1976. I was first elected to Council in 2002 and re-elected in 2005, 2008 and 2011. I was a media librarian in the Burnaby school district where I saw the critical role public service employees play in providing quality services. Realizing the connection between good public services and great communities, I became actively involved in my union to ensure valuable public services and the jobs and community benefits they create are protected. I was elected as the full-time Secretary-Treasurer of CUPE BC, a position I held until my retirement in 2005. As the Chair of the City’s Community Development Committee, I have played an integral leadership role in the careful planning and implementation of a comprehensive growth strategy that benefits Burnaby’s business, residential and neighbourhood communities. I have helped develop strategic initiatives that have brought added revenue to the City while securing much needed neighbourhood benefits such child care centres, spaces for community services and significant well-used community facilities such as Bonsor 55 plus, without impacting property taxes. I also championed the process to adopt the secondary suites bylaw. I was pleased to be a part of planning for major new facilities in each of our four town centres, including an ice rink in Edmonds, and arts/events centre for Metrotown, and community centres in Brentwood and Lougheed; again, all financed via amenity bonus funds, not property taxes.

PAUL MCDONELL I was ﬁrst elected to City Council in 2008 and re-elected in 2011. I’ve been a Burnaby resident since 1964. My career as a Fireﬁghter and Rescue Service Worker led to my extensive involvement in numerous community organizations over the years, including the Muscular Dystrophy Society and the United Way. Over the past two decades, my desire to serve led to my involvement with the Burnaby Parks Board, which I Chaired. Seeing a need in the community, I became involved with the Burnaby Health Board, focusing on what the Board could do to help advance important regional healthcare initiatives. In 1998, I became Chair of the provincial government’s Simon Fraser Health Board. As a Councillor I have helped build partnerships that have advanced numerous successful initiatives throughout the City, including the Mural Program to help curb graffiti; assisted with the Eco-Sculpture Program and the subsequent involvement of high school students in their creation; the Edmonds Santa Claus Parade; the Edmonds City Fair that now includes the Classic Car Show; and was instrumental in the planning of the Burnaby hosted 2012 BC Senior Games. Together with the BCA Council and strong citizen consultation and involvement, my efforts continue to be directed at strengthening the community networks that have raised Burnaby’s reputation as an exemplary local and internationally respected City known for its liveability.

SAV DHALIWAL I was ﬁrst elected to Burnaby City Council in 2002 and re-elected in 2005, 2008 and 2011. I currently serve as Chair of the Burnaby Parks, Recreation & Culture Commission, a position I have held for the past three years. My wife Cheryl and I have lived in Burnaby for 35 years. I’ve been actively involved in youth sports including hockey, soccer and baseball. My volunteer activities with the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association, where I also served as President, were rewarded with a Life Membership in 1997. My efforts in leading initiatives to support the development of the Bill Copeland Arena eventually led to my involvement with the Burnaby Parks Commission. My volunteer activities led me to become interested in municipal politics, as I witnessed the success of the BCA majority City Council in meeting the needs of the community through a balance of available resources and service requirements. Since becoming a Burnaby Councillor, I have taken on leadership roles at the local, regional and national level. I was appointed to the Board of Metro Vancouver Regional District in 2008, served as President of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association, Committee Member at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and was recently elected President of the Union of BC Municipalities. I have also served as a Director, Table Officer and Trustee with the New Vista Society and is a founding member of the Burnaby Edmonds Lions Club. I retired from a career in Information Technology at TELUS in 2005.

NICK VOLKOW I have been a Burnaby resident since 1983. My wife and I were raising three young children in the city when I was inspired to serve my community and work towards helping to provide more opportunities for youth to gather and play in safe, supporting environments. I stepped forward to serve on the Burnaby Parks Commission. My ten years on the Parks Commission resulted in numerous beneﬁts for the city’s youth. The award-winning Bonsor Park Metro Youth Park facility and the Confederation Skate Park, that became a model for community involvement as youth who would be using the park participated in its design, were results of my contributions. I was elected to Burnaby City Council in 1996 and have been re-elected 5 times, most recently in 2011. I’m committed to making Burnaby a great place to live, work and play. I’ve focused a great deal of my energy on transportation safety. My efforts have contributed to enhanced opportunities for both pedestrians and cyclists in Burnaby. Projects such as the Central Valley Greenway – the 24-kilometre cycling and walking path that runs from Vancouver to New Westminster through Burnaby, along with three new pedestrian overpasses – have provided citizens with vital links to parks, shopping, worksites and major transit hubs. My active involvement over the past 12 years in promoting and supporting the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park has brought a signiﬁcant entertainment option for Burnaby’s citizens and an opportunity to promote the city and its tourism industry.

JAMES WANG I came to Canada from China in 1996. My family and I have lived in Burnaby for 15 years. I have two kids growing up in Burnaby who are enjoying the excellent public education system. I was elected to the Burnaby Board of Education as a School Trustee in 2008 and re-elected in 2011. I have a Masters in Business Administration. My accomplishments include: Independent Director & Senior Advisor with Canada Export Centre; Honorary President of the Northwest Benevolent Association of Canada; Advisor with the Canada Community Service Association (CCSA). I was recognized by the Vancouver Sun as one of the Top 100 Most Inﬂuential Chinese-Canadians in BC (2006) along with my brother. This year I was named one of RBC’s Top 25 Canadian Immigrants of 2014. I volunteer my time with many community activities and have led local fundraising campaigns for earthquake victims in Haiti and China. I am an avid photographer and a golf & Table Tennis enthusiast, sitting as a director of the North America Golf Association and vice Chair of Canadian Chinese Table Tennis Federation (CCTTF). All of this positive work has encouraged James to want to do more to serve the community. That is why he made the decision to for a BCA City Council. James knows that he will do his best to bring his passion, energy and extensive experience to the role of City Councillor.

he Salvation Army is looking for volunteers for the annual Kettle Campaign. The charity needs volunteers for shifts in the Metrotown area from Tuesday to Saturday. The length of shifts can vary, but the Salvation Army is hoping people can do two to four hours.

of Just Eat It, an awardwinning documentary about wasted food. The film examines how much food North Americans throw out, and it’s apparently in the billions of tonnes.

The event runs from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Admission is free, but space is limited and spots are filling up fast, so save a seat by calling 604-2998955, or register in person at the library. McGill is at 4595 Albert St.

Pumpkin pride

Burnaby’s first pumpkin parade was a smashing success. Local librarian Lise Kreps organized the event for Nov. 1, and people brought 178 carved jack-o-lanterns to light and line up in Confederation Park. In all, roughly 250 people attended, Lise says, and all of the pumpkins were composted afterwards. The idea is to show off everyone’s carving skills and gather neighbours in the community the day after Halloween.

“It went really well, and it was exactly as I hoped. People were meeting each other, talking to each other,” she said. Lise is hoping to make the parade an annual affair. Search for Burnaby Heights Pumpkin Parade on Facebook to see photos and videos from the event.

Are you being your own worst frenemy? HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

n Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield’s book, Seeking the Heart of Wisdom, “near-enemies” are states that are mistaken for desirable qualities, such as unconditional love, compassion and equanimity. For example, the “nearenemy” of love is attachment or desire. It seems like the real thing but is quite the opposite, especially when one doesn’t get what one desires. It can then transform into jealousy, envy and anger. The “near-enemy” of compassion – feeling con-

nected to another through their suffering – is pity, which sets us apart from the other. The “near-enemy” of equanimity is indifference. The “near-enemy” personified in our lives is the “frenemy.” Frenemies are bad two-for-one deals. They may call themselves your friends, but they may act more like your enemies, doing things they ought not do. You might think that if you’re not a pre-teen or teenaged girl, you don’t have any frenemies, but take a close look at the actions of a frenemy. You might be surprised that you yourself are your own worst frenemy. 1. A frenemy puts you down. The most manipulative frenemies put you down behind your back. If you’re a frenemy to yourself, you might not even

Stay safe out there Darker days are here again, and police are urging pedestrians to take care. Burnaby RCMP top brass were out recently giving reflectors to pedestrians at Metrotown SkyTrain station as part of a pedestrian safety campaign in partnership with Transit Police and ICBC. Chief Supt. Dave Critchley and Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord were joined by officers from both departments to remind pedestrians of the importance of safety during the winter months. The event was part of a winter-long campaign run by ICBC aimed at pedestrian safety. Reflectors will be handed out at various events in Burnaby, and police are urging people to share them with family and friends. Pedestrian injuries increase by 76 per cent from November to January because of poor weather and shorter days, according to ICBC. In the Lower Mainland, about 33 pedestrians are killed and 1,700 are injured in vehicle crashes each year. twitter.com/cayleydobie

recognize the negative selftalk running in the background of your mind. Have you ever said, “I can’t do it,” “I’m a loser” or “Why should I even try?” When you catch yourself doing this, talk back to yourself – in a positive way. “I might make mistakes, but that doesn’t make me a loser, and the only way to move forward is to try new things, test my limits and learn.” 2. A frenemy feeds your vices. I encourage my wife not to shop with friends who spend more than her. By comparison, they convince her that she hasn’t

spent too much, and when she asks their opinion about buying yet another purse, they of course will agree and suggest buying two. If your friends smoke or exceed the healthy limit of two or three alcoholic drinks on any day, you are more likely to accept this as the norm and continue to harm your body. Do you rationalize your own excesses? 3. A frenemy’s negative attitude is infectious. If you keep company with people who are critical and negative about everything in the world, your own thoughts and attitudes

are likely to shift towards cynicism. This is a perfect set-up for unhappiness and discontent. Could you be breeding negativity in your life with your own self-talk? Make your mind your friend. Knowing that what you habitually think shapes what you see and how you feel, observe your own thoughts. Substitute unhelpful thoughts and attitudes with both realistic and positive ones. You could ask yourself, “Is this line of thinking helpful or not?” What would you do

if you recognized that a friend was really a backstabber and working against you? You’d probably break off your association. You can’t really do that if you discover that the frenemy is yourself. But having become more mindful of your negative self-talk and how you have been sabotaging your own well-being, you can choose to act like your own best friend and do what is best for you.

Young Burnaby musicians tops in B.C. LIVELY CITY

Julie MacLellan

ive young Burnaby residents have been honoured by the Royal Conversatory of Music for their outstanding performance on their exams this past year. The five were gold medal winners for scoring the top marks in B.C. on Royal Conservatory examinations in the academic year from Sept. 1, 2013 to Aug. 31, 2014. The local winners included Nicole Hilary Shu, who topped the field in Grade 1 percussion exams. She’s taught by Sylvia Tam. Kylie Ng, a student of Donna Fishwick, earned top marks in the preparatory flute exam, while Flora Huang – a student of Ming Huang – earned top honours in Grade 4 guitar. Dee Gabrielle, a student of Connie Gitlin, was honoured for earning the top marks in both Grade 4 and Grade 6 clarinet

exams, while Annalysa Tylor, a student of Samuel Zavaleta, earned the top marks in Grade 7 voice. The five were honoured during a ceremony at the Chan Centre on Sunday, Nov. 16. Kudos to all the winners and to their teachers.

Doc screening

It’s a film that’s been getting plenty of buzz – and it’s coming to the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library next month. Just Eat It – a Food Waste Story is screening at the library on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. The award-winning documentary by filmmakers Jen Rustemeyer and Grant Baldwin (of The Clean Bin Project) delves into the world of food waste, from farms to retail to the fridge. “After glimpsing the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away,” a press release explains. “In a nation where one in 10 people is food-insecure, the images they capture of squandered groceries are

both shocking and strangely compelling.” The two filmmakers will be on hand to answer questions after the screening. The screening is free, but space is limited – and librarian Lise Kreps let us know it’s already filling up fast. If you want to see it, be sure to register online at www.bpl.bc.ca/events, call 604-299-8955 or drop in to the library at 4595 Albert St. to sign up in person.

Global music

’Tis the season for singing – and the SFU Choir is no exception. The choir is getting ready for its Global Village concert on Saturday, Dec. 6. The concert will bring to the stage music from countries around the world, including China, Norway, Australia, India, Cuba, Tanzania, Bali and more – with featured songs including Jai Ho from the movie Slumdog Millionaire, and Christopher Tin’s Kia Hora. The 100-member choir attracts students, staff, alumni and community

members, with people from all areas of study and walks of life. Its concert is set for 7:30 p.m. at Cliff Avenue United Church, 1600 Cliff Ave. Tickets are $20 regular, $10 for students and seniors, and free for children under 12. Check out the choir’s website at www.sfuchoir. ca for more details.

Alpha theatre

Alpha Secondary’s theatre company is coming to the stage for one night only in December. The school is presenting Bite Size Theatre on Wednesday, Dec. 3 in the drama studio. Doors open at 6:30, and the show starts at 7 p.m. You can buy tickets at school lunchtimes in the foyer until Dec. 3, or at the door. Tickets are $6, or $5 per person if you buy a group of four.

Firefighters fill their boots Cayley Dobie

staff reporter

The boots have been filled. Burnaby firefighters were out this weekend collecting donations for Muscular Dystrophy Canada during the annual Fill the Boot campaign. Firefighters were stationed at different locations throughout the city Friday night and Saturday, including Brentwood Town Centre, Metrotown, Costco at Still Creek Drive and the Grand Villa Casino. “It was definitely a good weekend. All the guys had fun,” said Derek Cousins, a seven-year vet with the department and one of the event’s organizers. “Any opportunity, I think, that we get to be in the public like

On track: The Burnaby Velodrome played host to three days of exciting racing at the Cycling Canada junior and cadet national track championships last weekend.

Fast times at junior nationals for Velodrome racers Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Burnaby Velodrome is paying solid dividends for Canada’s up-and-coming young riders. The evidence was clearly on display at the Cycling Canada national junior and under-17 track championships at the Barnet Highway velodrome last weekend. “For B.C., it was a phenomenal weekend. … It shows the collective work being done in the province, … and the support behind it,” said national event organizer and Burnaby Velodrome program coordinator Kelyn Akuna. “They really are products of our track. This is where they train.” Fifteen-year-old Maggie ColesLyster, the youngest rider in last year’s Giro di Burnaby, ran away with the under-17 women’s six-event omnium, beating Cycling B.C. runner-up Erin Attwell and Quebec’s Marie Alexandre Lemire handily. “She basically cleaned house,” said Akuna of the up-and-coming Maple Ridge racer. Coles-Lyster also earned the coveted red and white jersey awarded to the Canadian champions, winning national titles in the team pursuit and sprint, 500-metre time trial and match sprints. She placed runner-up in the individual pursuit. Alexandre Lemire of Quebec stopped the complete sweep, winning the individual pursuit title over Coles-Lyster.

Cam Fitzmaurice, another local product with TaG Cycling of the North Shore, topped the u-17 men’s omnium, beating back a threat from Alberta’s Stefan Ritter and Thierry Kiriouac-Marcassa. Fitzmaurice also placed second in the individual pursuit and teamed with John Wilcox and Fergus Horrobin of B.C. for a silver medal in the team sprint. Wilcox beat Fitzmaurice in the individual pursuit, while placing runner-up in both the time trial and match sprints. The national cycling centre in Hamilton took both team pursuit and sprint titles. Ritter won two individual national titles, taking first place in the time trial and match sprints. Provincial riders Trevor Stothard of Cycling B.C. and TaG’s Max Duso finished second and third, respectively, to overall winner Bayley Simpson of Team Ontario in the under-19 junior men’s omnium. Duso helped the TaG Cycling team of Brendan Armstrong, Rowan Morris and Chris MacLeod to the team pursuit title. A combined B.C. team of Stothard, Jackson Pickell, Alexander Amiri and Cordell Dickie finished second. Pickell, Stothard and Amiri also took first place in the u-19 men’s team sprint. Rhys Verner, Luke Di Marzo and Felix Burke of B.C. placed third overall. Evan Burtnik of Alberta won the individual pursuit and 1km time

trial. Guilllaume Roussel of Quebec won the match sprints and keirin. Sarah Mason led an Eastern Canada sweep of the podium in the junior girls’ omnium. Gillian Ellsay of B.C. finished fourth overall. Catherine Oullette of Quebec took top spot in the individual pursuit and 500m time trial. Kia van der Vliet of Cycling B.C. won the keirin event. “For our young riders to be competitive with everyone else, it goes a very long way. It gives us a leg up. We’re definitely looking forward, and we’re quite excited about where we’re headed,” Akuna said. The goal for track cycling in Canada is to be among the top nations in the world by 2020, added Akuna. The importance of track cycling development (at the velodrome) is absolutely critical, he said. Cycling Canada’s director of performance development agreed. “The future of Canadian track cycling is very bright. We observed some … strong performances … and passionate racing in Burnaby,” added Mathieu Boucher in a Cycling Canada press release. “We saw under-17 riders posting times rivalling with junior athletes, showcasing exceptional track cycling skills for their age. The weekend showed that Canada is heading in the right direction in the long-term development of track cyclists.” Twitter @ThomasBerridge

Boxers win pro bouts in U.S.

CROSS-COUNTRY

Winning women and men off to NCAA nats The men qualified behind a brave performance from Oliver Jorgensen, who gutted out a 48th-place finish despite still feeling the effects of a recent bout of pneumonia. Marc-Antoine Rouleau was the Clan’s top finisher in 26th place over the men’s 10km distance. “Oliver couldn’t breathe midway through the race, so we had to throw him an inhaler and he caught it mid-air,” said SFU head coach Britt Townsend in a press release. “He just gutted it out every step of the way. They all did. They just had the mindset that they needed to beat anyone in front of them to make it possible.” Great Northwest champion Henry Cheseto of Alaska Anchorage easily won the men’s individual title, while Chico State placed four runners in the top 8 to take the men’s team title. The Clan teams will both take part at the NCAA Div. II nationals in Louisville, Kentucky on Dec. 6. Last year, the SFU women’s team finished seventh at the nationals.

Simon Fraser University cross-country teams were happy campers at the NCAA Division II regional championships this weekend. Rebecca Bassett and grad student Jennifer Johnson both finished in the top 10 to help the Clan women to a first-ever West Region title, while the SFU men’s team earned a spot at its first national championship with a sixth-place finish at Amend Park in Billings, Montana last Saturday. Bassett finished in third place in the six-kilometre women’s race in a time of 21:15.22 just nine seconds behind race winner Katelyn Steen of Western Washington. Johnson finished up in eighth place. All seven Clan women finished in the top 75. Sophomore Peggy Noel was 20th, while freshman Miryam Bassett placed 33rd and sophomore Brittany Evans was 44th. Emma Chadsey came in 50th and junior Kansas MacKenzie placed 74th overall. Three weeks earlier, the SFU women’s team won its first Great Northwest conference cross-country title.

Querido finished his opponent with a right uppercut and right hook to win by a technical knockout. “(Querido) did everything perfect,” said Afloarei. “But he needs to use his right (hand) more. If he used it more he would have finished him in the second round.” Dave Robinson also won, defeating Daryl Gardiner of Spokane on a unanimous decision to improve his pro record to 2-0. tberridge@burnabynow. com

Where did you learn to cook? I attended S.A.I.T in Calgary and took the professional cooking program. I did my apprenticeship at the Banff Springs Hotel, and have been cooking ever since. As a child, my dad would take my brother and I grocery shopping Friday after school, and we would cook dinner. Unknowingly, those were my first “black boxes”. Why did you want to become a chef? At a very young age, I was led into the kitchen of my grandfather’s restaurant in Montreal. I can still remember the aroma if I close my eyes and think about it. That was all it took. I was hooked. How do you describe your cooking style? My style I would say is globally inspired using classic French techniques from my training. It always comes back to solid fundamentals. I often find myself on a certain kick, but whether it’s comfort food, Italian or Moroccan, or maybe Korean, Spanish or Chinese, it always the basics that speak first. What do you love most about working at White Spot? The people are amazing. We have a strong connection to the communities we serve and everyone is proud to work here. Where do you go for menu ideas & inspiration? Ideas are sparked in all kinds of places - in travels, food conferences, farmers markets and even backyard BBQ’s with friends. Many of White Spot menu items feature local ingredients. Why is this important to you? First of all, local ingredients taste great! But, they’re also great for the environment and community involvement. We live in such an abundant province, with access to a variety of delicious ingredients so why not support our local growers!? When entertaining at home, do your guests expect you to cook? Of course they expect it, but sometimes all you need is a good bottle of wine, some crusty bread and a few pieces of great cheese. With great company, the rest takes care of itself…
